 Chapter 1

    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Refinement Level-5]


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    ¡­


    At the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect in Danxia City, at the seat by the window in a classroom, a handsome young man took out his cell phone that was as light as jade and opened his personal data interface.


    School had just started, so their form teacher wanted to check everyone¡¯s cultivation progress during the holidays. Chen Mobai edited some content that needed to be updated.


    Then, he connected to the school website and was about to send his personal interface to the form teacher when he heard a voice in his ear.


    ¡°Eh? You actually went into seclusion to cultivate during the holidays and broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5.¡±


    After his deskmate sent his interface to the form teacher, he glanced at Chen Mobai¡¯s screen and saw that Chen Mobai had filled in ¡°Qi Refinement Level-5¡± in the Realm column. His tone was slightly sour.


    Although the content on the personal interface was filled in by the students themselves, the school could easily verify the authenticity of the content through various exams. Basically, no one would fill in the content randomly. After all, if one was caught faking their information, it would be recorded in the files. This would affect one¡¯s graduation or even their role allocation in the war.


    In the immortal sect, the punishment for cheating was quite severe.


    ¡°I¡¯m different from you. I have a True Spiritual Root. As long as I work hard, I can cultivate much faster than you with your pseudo Spiritual Root.¡±


    There was a hint of smugness in Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Apart from being taken to the temple by his mother to offer incense, he had spent the rest of his time in seclusion at home. With the help of pills, he had finally broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Qi Refinement Level-5.


    ¡°It¡¯s so unfair that your Spiritual Root ranks among the True Spiritual Roots with those attributes.¡±


    His deskmate was furious, but there was nothing he could do. That was the rule of the immortal sect.


    If a Spiritual Root reached 20 points in a certain attribute, it would be considered a Spiritual Root of that attribute. When Chen Mobai was in his mother¡¯s womb, the heavens hadn¡¯t been paying attention to the distribution of talent. Thus, the distribution was a little balanced, and his Spiritual Root was classified as a pseudo Spiritual Root in all attributes.


    However, in reality, the Spiritual Root Attribute points of the person sitting next to Chen Mobai were about the same as Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Yes, not bad. Many people have improved during the holidays.¡±


    At this point, the form teacher standing on the podium had finished looking at everyone¡¯s interfaces. A rare smile appeared on his usually serious face.


    Following this, the teacher praised every student who had made progress.


    One of them was Chen Mobai.


    The form teacher¡¯s praise caused the two pretty students sitting in front of him to turn around. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but hold his head high and puffed out his chest, looking extremely pleased with himself.


    Having reached Qi Refinement Level-5, he was among the top 20 in the class.


    He was already in his third year of high school. If he worked hard, he might be able to advance by another level before the university entrance examination.


    If he reached Qi Refinement Level-6, he would have no hope for the four top-tier Dao Colleges, but he could still hope to enter the second-tier Dao Colleges. As for the third-tier Dao Colleges, such as the local Danzhu College and the Chixia College, he was almost guaranteed to succeed.


    As long as he could enter a Dao College after the college entrance examination, he would not be recruited by the immortal sect to participate in the exploration war for the next ten years.


    Perhaps there was hope for him to build his foundation.


    ¡°Finally, I would like to commend Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan. I didn¡¯t expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to produce two students who have reached the later stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    Chai Deyun had just become a form teacher six years ago, and this class was considered the first class he had led. Thus, his emotions were at their peak. He put down the tablet in his hand with a sentimental look. Then, his usually serious gaze became gentle. Together with everyone in the classroom, he looked at the boy and girl who had stood up.


    These were the two top students in their class and also the top students with the most outstanding Spiritual Root Attributes. Indeed, they had lived up to expectations and had entered Qi Refinement Level-7 before the college entrance examination.


    With such results, they would be able to enter second-tier Dao Colleges for sure. Furthermore, they would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within ten years. If they succeeded, they would even be able to achieve the Golden Core Dao Seed in the future. At that point, even within the immortal sect, they would be people who would be heavily nurtured.


    Chen Mobai also had a look of envy on his face. Unlike his True Spiritual Root, which bent the rules, Song Zheng and Yang Bingxuan both had genuine True Spiritual Roots. One of them had achieved more than 40 points in a Spiritual Root Attribute, so it would be much easier to cultivate that attribute.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s class.¡±


    When he heard the bell from the highest floor of the school, Chai Deyun gathered the test papers and announced the end of class.


    All the students immediately dispersed.


    Even Chen Mobai simply took his cell phone and jumped out from the window by his side before rushing to the cultivation room.


    Fortunately, he had gone into seclusion during the holidays and his cultivation level had increased by a level, while the Vertical Raising Spell was accelerated by 30 percent. Hence, he was able to arrive at the cultivation room before most people.


    He had no time to choose a room. He saw an empty training room with an open door and simply rushed in.


    There was a beep.


    Chen Mobai swiped the electronic student card in his cell phone and the word ¡°empty¡± on the electronic screen at the door of the cultivation room instantly disappeared. Then, he slowly closed the door.


    ¡°Foo!¡±


    Outside the door, the student who was a step slower cursed and hurriedly rushed to another empty cultivation room.


    It was no wonder they were so anxious.


    It was because spiritual energy was hard to come by.


    After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect, the resources of Planet Earth were almost depleted. All the spiritual veins and vitality in the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands had been nationalized. Thus, the spiritual energy that was left in the world was at most enough for cultivators to maintain basic breathing exercises.


    Furthermore, if a cultivator wanted to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, they would have to pay Karma Points to the immortal sect.


    A monthly payment of 10 Karma Points was required for inferior-grade Rank-1 leyline spiritual energy to be delivered to one¡¯s residence.


    Chen Mobai was at Qi Refinement Level-5. Thus, the inferior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy was useless to him.


    If he wanted middle-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy, he would have to pay 20 Karma Points every month.


    As for superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy, one would have to pay a monthly fee of 40 Karma Points.


    To Chen Mobai, the provided amount of middle-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy would only allow him to stabilize his cultivation and barely make progress. If he wanted to improve quickly, it would be best if he used superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy.


    Of course, if he had Rank-2 or even Rank-3 leyline spiritual energy, that would be even better.


    But this was just a thought.


    Only the families of Foundation Establishment cultivators or start-ups could apply to the immortal sect to use Rank-2 spiritual veins.


    Sensing that the concentration of spiritual energy in the three-square-meter cultivation room had started to rise, Chen Mobai opened the software on his cell phone to test the spiritual energy value.


    After almost a minute, the numbers finally stopped changing.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 10]


    The grade of the leyline spiritual energy could be measured using the Spiritual Energy Value.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, a Spiritual Energy Value of 1 to 10 meant that the spiritual energy was from a Rank-1 spiritual vein.


    If the Spiritual Energy Value was between 10 to 100, the spiritual energy would be from a Rank-2 spiritual vein.


    If the Spiritual Energy Value was between 100 to 1,000, the spiritual energy would be from a Rank-3 spiritual vein¡­


    And so on and so forth. It was said that the highest-leveled spiritual vein in the entire immortal sect was the cave where the two Soul Formation Patriarch were. It was a Rank-6 spiritual vein.

 Chapter 2

    ¡°Indeed, school benefits are better. A superior-grade Level 1 spiritual energy cultivation room can be used for free for two hours a day.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about how during the holidays, in order to help him break through, his mother had gritted her teeth and used her Karma Points to raise the leyline spiritual energy in the house to superior-grade Rank-1. Even then, the Spiritual Energy Value was only 7, and would occasionally fluctuate to 8 or 9.


    Meanwhile, the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect was built on top of an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein and had a total of 300 cultivation rooms.


    After all, these students were the future flowers of the immortal sect. The school couldn¡¯t let them starve.


    Of the 300 cultivation rooms, the first-, second-, and third-year students used 100 rooms each. They enjoyed inferior-, middle-, and superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy respectively.


    The third-year students had it the hardest. After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in these cultivation rooms were already at the peak of Rank-1.


    The cultivation room was simple and square. There was only a futon in the middle of the blue stone floor.


    Chen Mobai did not waste any time. He put his cell phone away and turned on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he sat on the futon and started to refine the spiritual energy.


    Since he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-5, and had relied on the power of pills, his realm was unstable. In the last two hours, he had not cultivated the Five Elements Internal Technique. He had only circulated the most basic Qi Nurturing Spell.


    Streams of warm currents flowed through his meridians. The pale white spiritual energy that was about to turn into clouds in the cultivation room was like a long dragon that surged into Chen Mobai¡¯s nose and mouth. It fused with his increased spiritual power and slowly integrated with it, turning into his true strength.


    He was immediately immersed in this feeling, unable to extricate himself.


    Time passed slowly.


    There was a loud clang!


    The Soul Suppressing Spell in the cultivation room woke Chen Mobai up from his cultivation. No matter how reluctant he was to leave, he remembered that his classmates had been waiting outside for a long time. He could only pick up his cell phone and walk out of the cultivation room.


    As soon as he came out, a female classmate who was at the front of the queue immediately rushed in, swiped her card, and shut the door.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one. Ninety-nine other third-year students also reluctantly walked out of the cultivation rooms.


    Among them was Chen Mobai¡¯s deskmate, Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re in luck. You were actually the first batch of students to use the rooms.¡±


    After greeting him, Chen Mobai realized that Lu Hongsheng¡¯s expression was gloomy and unhappy.


    ¡°Do you know what I just saw?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t keep a secret. After a while, Lu Hongsheng took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°I saw Song Zheng enter a Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room.¡±


    ¡°A Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room? Isn¡¯t that exclusive to teachers? Who would allow Song Zheng to use their cultivation room?¡±


    Of course, the school not only had cultivation rooms for students, but also high-end cultivation rooms specially for teachers.


    Apart from the Rank-3 cultivation room that belonged exclusively to the principal, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the other ten Rank-2 cultivation rooms required even the teachers to queue up for their turn.


    The fact that Song Zheng was able to enter a Rank-2 cultivation room meant that a teacher had given him their cultivation resources.


    ¡°Who else could it be? It must be Old Man Ding. He has failed twice in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm and doesn¡¯t have much time left. He¡¯s focused on his education career. When he saw that Song Zheng had hopes of entering the four top Dao Colleges, he gave him his share of the Rank-2 cultivation room.¡±


    As he said this, Lu Hongsheng was green with envy.


    He wished that he was Song Zheng.


    ¡°This is so unfair. The school doesn¡¯t even care.¡±


    As the two of them spoke, a few of their classmates at the side heard them. One of the boys was indignant.


    Although there was no such thing as fairness in society, in school, the people of the management class still tacitly maintained fairness on the surface.


    Although a teacher had shared their own share of cultivation resources to a student, the real ownership of the cultivation room still belonged to the school. This was already unfair to the students. If they reported this to the Academic Affairs Office, at least it would create a storm.


    ¡°What do you know? I heard that Song Zheng has officially become Teacher Ding¡¯s disciple during the holidays. He¡¯s registered in the inheritance hall of the immortal sect¡¯s Ministry of Education, and they are now master and disciple. The master has given the resources to the disciple, so even the administrative office can¡¯t interfere.¡±


    One of the female students, who had a faithful expression on her face, said to the male student who was about to make a complaint.


    Song Zheng was good-looking and a young genius. Thus, he was quite popular among the girls.


    Chen Mobai was silently envious too.


    If he were to cultivate for a semester with a Rank-2 spiritual vein, he was confident that he would be able to advance to Qi Refinement Rank-6. Students of this level would not be able to enter the four top Dao Colleges, but it was still possible for them to enter second-tier Dao Colleges. Furthermore, they could choose any third-tier Dao College.


    He also had a True Spiritual Root. Why hadn¡¯t any teacher taken a fancy to him?


    It could only be said that there were differences between True Spirit Roots.


    ¡°You guys can chat. I¡¯m going home. See you tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had the desire to improve himself. Although he felt that this was unfair, he had no intention of getting involved in these disputes.


    After he finished using the free time in the school¡¯s cultivation room, he rushed home. After all, his mother had forked out a lot to buy half a year¡¯s worth of superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy just so that he could get good results in the college entrance examination.


    He couldn¡¯t waste his mother¡¯s effort.


    When Chen Mobai went home, there was no one present.


    His dad and mom were both working hard to support the family. In particular, after renting the spiritual vein for half a year, they had to work overtime even more and would return home late every day.


    First, Chen Mobai cooked a pot of spiritual rice. Then, in his mother¡¯s office, he cut up pieces of yellow paper and made them into standard paper talismans that were 12 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide.


    By the time the spiritual rice was cooked, Chen Mobai had already cut more than a hundred blank talismans.


    He counted 12 sheets and stacked them one by one. Then he tied them up with a special spirit rope. He arranged six stacks of talismans into two rows and placed them into the package.


    The cost of this kind of large talisman was 1 Karma Point. If it was cut and packaged, it could be sold for 2 Karma Points. After some calculation, he would earn about 1 Karma Point for each box.


    In order to supplement the family income, Chen Mobai would do whatever he could.


    He arranged the two boxes of packed talismans neatly on the table. Together with the eight boxes that he had previously cut, they made up a total of ten boxes, which filled the whole table.


    He took out his cell phone and took more than ten pictures from different angles. Then, he selected a few of the better-looking ones and placed them in the online market that the immortal sect had officially opened.


    Normally, there would be a steady stream of bidders throughout the week in the mainland. At that point, Chen Mobai would choose the highest bidder to sell the talismans to.


    Because he couldn¡¯t afford the teleportation fees, he had limited the sale of his goods to face-to-face transactions in Danxia City.


    The public transport in the city was well-developed and his student card allowed him to use it for free.


    After he had eaten the spiritual rice that was as plump as jade, Chen Mobai cast a cleaning spell to clean up the pots and pans. Then, he returned to his bedroom.


    Even though a cultivation room had been specially constructed at the entrance of the underground leyline pipe that transported spiritual energy, Chen Mobai still liked to cultivate spiritual energy in his own room.


    After all, as long as the door of the cultivation room was open, the superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy would spread to every room in the house. Even if the windows were open, the spiritual seal throughout the house would firmly lock the leyline spiritual energy in the house, so there was no need to worry about wastage.


    Of course, the expanded range was also why the concentration of spiritual energy in the house was not as high as the cultivation room in school.


    However, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.


    He resisted the urge to scroll through his cell phone and watch livestreams. He didn¡¯t want to think about those little fairies dancing and singing. He calmed himself down and sat cross-legged on his bed, preparing to cultivate. Suddenly, he saw a turtle shell on the bedside table.


    ¡°Really, Mom, why did you bring such an unlucky thing?!¡±

 Chapter 3

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    When Chen Mobai saw the turtle shell, he felt a slight pain in the wound on his right hand that had healed.


    This was what had happened.


    Half a month ago, he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-5. His superstitious mother had been so happy that she had taken him back to her hometown in the mountains to offer incense to a temple that was said to be very effective.


    Then, some god-damned person pushed him from behind as he was offering incense, causing him to stagger. In order to steady himself, he reached out to grab a turtle shell that had been enshrined in front of the statue.


    The turtle shell had been smoked by fire for many years and was not very clean. In the end, Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand was cut by the sharp surface of the turtle shell, which had directly infected his wound. He was so weak that he could not even stand steadily and had to be hospitalized for half a month.


    Since her precious son had been hospitalized because of this thing, his mother was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest. She had a long argument with the abbot of the temple in her hometown, hoping to get back the 188 Karma Points that had been offered.


    However, the senior cultivator was not an easy person to deal with, or rather, the temple was really poor. No matter what Chen Mobai¡¯s mother said, the senior cultivator refused to give up and only gave her two talismans.


    They were evenly matched. However, the senior cultivator was in the wrong after all and finally relented.


    The senior cultivator allowed Chen Mobai¡¯s indignant mother to take the turtle shell away. She said that she wanted to burn it to rid her son of his bad luck.


    However, the turtle shell had not been burnt.


    After all, it was forbidden to start a fire in the city. All the resources that had not been used had to be recycled. After using a special method, the Earth Master would bury them in the spiritual pivots to maintain the cycle of spiritual energy in Planet Earth.


    In the city, only companies that were approved and licensed to refine pills and equipment could start a fire.


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes and got up to throw the turtle shell into the trash bin. He hoped that the Earth Master would bury this unlucky thing tomorrow.


    However, just as he placed his hand on the turtle shell, a silver light flashed.


    Caught off guard, Chen Mobai¡¯s entire body was enveloped by the silver light and he disappeared from the room.


    ¡­


    He lost track of time.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness returned to his body and he slowly got up.


    He looked around and realized that he was no longer in his own room, but in a mysterious cave abode.


    He had no idea where this cave abode was, but he was sure of one thing.


    He was currently underwater.


    He looked up and saw a sea of blue.


    The entire cave abode was covered by a thin semi-elliptical spherical light barrier. When the fish and crabs in the water hit the light barrier, they bounced off as though they had hit rubber.


    Chen Mobai waited for almost ten minutes, but no senior expert appeared. He slowly turned around to check.


    Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was a small underwater cave.


    The place where he was standing now should be the front hall of the cave abode. There was a pedestal in each of the four corners with an array flag on each of them. In addition to the main array flag and pedestal in the center of the cave abode behind him, it formed a simple waterproof formation.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had put in a lot of effort in his formation lessons. Thus, he managed to identify this middle-grade Rank-2 formation. Apart from gathering energy, avoiding water, and hiding and defending, it had no other destructive capabilities.


    He carefully tested the array formation according to what he had learned in school. After about an hour, he finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no errors.


    After confirming that this cave abode wasn¡¯t filled with danger, Chen Mobai waited for another half an hour before he started walking around.


    This cave was indeed very small. Apart from the front hall, which was clearly visible, there were only three side halls.


    The side hall in the middle should be a cultivation room. He wondered if there was anyone inside. Chen Mobai took out a ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± from his pocket and held it in his palm. This was his life-saving talisman.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-1 talisman. It could block the attacks of a Qi Refinement Level-6 cultivator.


    With the talisman in hand, he felt slightly safer.


    Then, Chen Mobai took out another coin, placed it on the ground, and gently rolled it towards the door of the side hall.


    Sizzle!


    The moment the coin rolled to the front door, a deep blue electric light flashed, vaporizing the jade-like coin into a cloud of spiritual mist.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart ached when he saw this.


    This one-dollar coin was worth one Karma Point.


    It was made of dried-up Spirit Stones that had been crushed and mixed with other jade, minerals, and metal. It was infused with a little spiritual energy to protect against counterfeiting. It was the base currency unit on Planet Earth.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s pocket money was only five dollars a week. He had worked so hard to earn some money from cutting talismans, but he only had 80 Karma Points in his private savings.


    Now that he had lost a coin, he hesitated.


    After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the side hall in the middle, where the restriction had been triggered. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He searched all over his body, but he could only use coins to test the waters. Thus, he could only bear the pain and roll two coins towards the other two side halls.


    Sizzle!


    Splash!


    The two completely different sound effects and lights made Chen Mobai widen his eyes.


    The restriction on the left side of the door produced the same result as the one in the middle. It triggered a dark blue electric light and directly vaporized the coin.


    However, the restriction on the door of the side hall on the right was completely different. Instead, a deep blue ripple appeared and pushed the coin back like a wave.


    Chen Mobai turned his body to the side to avoid the coin that rolled back.


    When the coin stopped with a roll, he took out another coin and accurately hit it to ensure that there was no residual power of the restriction on it. Only then did he put the coin away.


    He moved to the door of the side hall on the right and carefully tested it a few times. After confirming that the restriction on the door was harmless, he tried to break it.


    However, Chen Mobai did not have any talismans that could break the restriction. The only cultivation technique that he cultivated was the Five Elements Internal Technique that the school had taught him. It was used to build his foundation.


    ¡°If I had known, I would have bought the Water Sword Talisman that I had been eyeing for a long time.¡±


    After trying for a long time, Chen Mobai still could not break the water wave restriction on the door. He couldn¡¯t help but feel regret. He had many items in his shopping cart that he wanted to buy from the online market of the immortal sect.


    One of them was a Water Sword Talisman that was worth 30 Karma Points. It was a middle-grade Rank-1 talisman that was suitable for him to use at Qi Refinement Level-5.


    He felt the strength of the water wave restriction on the side door and felt that it was about the same as the ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± in his hand. If he used a ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡±, he should be able to break it.


    He racked his brain and tried to think of a solution. Chen Mobai was at his wits¡¯ end.


    He could only return to the main hall of the water mansion and sit on the central pedestal where he had woken up. He started to meditate to recover the Dharmic powers he had used to test the water wave restriction.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    The moment he sat down, he jumped up in shock. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the software that tested the concentration of spiritual energy.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 60]


    ¡°This is actually a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual vein.¡±


    Chen Mobai was even more frightened now. This was either the villa of a wealthy family or the cave abode of a cultivator of a higher level than him. If they saw a stranger like him here, they wouldn¡¯t be happy.


    ¡°Why am I here? Oh, that turtle shell¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought of the main point, but he had searched all the places in the front hall that he could move around. He had even searched the pots of flowers and plants, but he had not found the turtle shell.


    ¡°Oh no, how am I going to explain this to Dad and Mom?!¡±


    He waited for another hour and looked at the time. He felt that his parents would be home soon, so he had to take the last route.


    He dialed 110.


    He hoped that the law enforcement cultivators of the immortal sect would be able to locate his cell phone and rescue him from this water mansion.

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°What should I say when I call the police? Should I say that I was brought here by the turtle shell? Should I say that I was kidnapped? Or do I tell them that I got lost?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai anxiously dialed the number of the immortal sect¡¯s law enforcement department, something shocking happened.


    There was no signal!


    He couldn¡¯t make the call!


    On Planet Earth, even the bottom of the deep sea that was thousands of meters deep was covered by the satellites of the immortal sect.


    Chen Mobai had even heard from a certain Rank-5 Array Master on television that 2,000 years ago, even the immortal cultivators who had fought their way into the Earth Abyss during the exploration war had been able to find the signal of Planet Earth and maintain communication between all the cultivators.


    But where exactly was he now?


    Chen Mobai was at a loss!


    He went through all the knowledge he had in his head. He even searched all the places in the water mansion that were not dangerous and knocked on every brick on the ground.


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai could only helplessly sit on the floor of the front hall.


    There was no sign of him leaving.


    Just as he was about to accept his fate and start cultivating, his cell phone screen suddenly lit up with a silver light, attracting his attention.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    He realized that the icon of an application that he had never downloaded before had suddenly appeared on his cell phone.


    The icon was a dark green little turtle.


    The name of the application was shown below the icon.


    It was called ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±!


    What was this?


    Chen Mobai subconsciously moved his finger to the app icon, wanting to uninstall it. He did not allow software that he was unaware of to appear on his cell phone.


    Then, three red words, ¡°unable to uninstall¡±, appeared on the screen.


    What was going on?


    This cell phone was out of control!


    Chen Mobai was so angry that he was about to switch his cell phone back on when he suddenly had an idea.


    The ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± application¡­ Could it be¡­ That turtle shell!?


    He quickly opened the app.


    This action didn¡¯t cause any trouble and he clicked on it smoothly.


    It was a simple homepage with only three function buttons¡ª[Teleport], [Return to City], and [Representative].


    Chen Mobai was pleasantly surprised, but he still felt a little uneasy. He closed the app before opening it again. After confirming that there was no explanation, he clicked on [Return to City] based on his understanding.


    [This process requires eight seconds of guidance. No interruptions are allowed during this time. Please find a quiet place.]


    Just as he hit the [Return to City] button, a line of words suddenly appeared on the screen.


    Just as Chen Mobai was still trying to figure out what could be considered an interruption, a silver light suddenly flashed and surrounded him. Then, like a spiral, it broke through the void and disappeared from the water mansion with him.


    ¡°Did I come back just like that?¡±


    After the silver light flashed, Chen Mobai realized that he was standing in his room again. His hand was touching the turtle shell.


    There was a whoosh.


    He drew his hand back as quickly as he could and fell back to his bed. Then, he pulled out the sword that his father had bought for him at an attraction when he was young.


    The sword was shiny, but it was designed for a child. Thus, it was only 30 centimeters long and was extremely shoddy.


    The room was silent for about two minutes.


    Chen Mobai stared at the turtle shell. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this thing, the sound of the door opening came from the first floor.


    His mother was back.


    The familiar sound of the door opening and closing told Chen Mobai who it was.


    As there was a sign saying ¡°cultivating¡± on the door of Chen Mobai¡¯s room, his mother did not disturb him. However, he still heard a familiar mumbling voice.


    ¡°This child, I¡¯ve already told him to cultivate in the cultivation room at the entrance of the spiritual vein. Why does he still like to hide in his own room?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not go downstairs.


    He gently returned the child-sized Demon Vanquishing Sword in his hand to its sheath. Then, using the Light Body Technique, he landed in front of the turtle shell and carefully observed it.


    ¡­


    The next day.


    In low spirits, Chen Mobai went downstairs and ate the breakfast that his mother had meticulously prepared while his mother nagged at him. Then, he carried his backpack and hurriedly caught the bus.


    After the morning self-study session, a plainly-dressed old man walked into the classroom on time.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Ding!¡±


    After the students stood up and greeted him, Old Man Ding nodded calmly.


    ¡°Today, we will continue to explain the solidification of defensive Dharma spells¡­¡±


    The teaching materials of the immortal sect divided the content that all cultivators needed to know into four courses.


    The four courses were Dharma Spells, Pills, Equipment, and Array!


    These four major courses were further divided into dozens of other subjects and specializations. To third-year students, it was necessary to choose one of these courses as their main course to set their future learning direction.


    It was equivalent to the division of arts and sciences in high school before Planet Earth became a cultivation civilization.


    However, there were now four subjects to choose from.


    After all, if one wanted to get into those Dao Colleges, apart from their basic score in the college entrance examination and their cultivation level, there was also the final and most critical assessment issued by the Dao Colleges.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s class, they had chosen the Dharma Spell course as their main course.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why others would choose this course, but he had chosen this course because it was the most economical course.


    As for the rest of the subjects, be it the Pill course, the Equipment course, or even the Array course, to practice or even improve, one would need a certain amount of resources and Karma Points.


    Meanwhile, the Dharma Spells course was the most straightforward.


    There was only one word to sum it up: practice!


    Furthermore, one could choose to advance as a Talisman Master if they joined the Dharma Spell course. In the later stages of cultivation, it would be a profession with great potential for making money.


    Since young, Chen Mobai had been determined to become a Talisman Master.


    He had the family background to do so. After all, his mother worked in a talisman manufacturing factory. Under the influence of his mother, he had gained some insights Thus, he could shorten the time needed to learn the skills and spend more time on cultivation instead.


    Old Man Ding was also known as Manager Ding. He was a well-known cultivator in Danxia City.


    When he was young, his aptitude was alright. He had a True Spiritual Root with three attributes, which was slightly better than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    His results during the college entrance examination had been average and he had barely managed to get into the local Danzhu College. However, he had a tenacious personality. Thus, after 20 years of hard work at Danzhu College, he had passed the Immortal Ascension examination of the ten top colleges and had been accepted.


    However, he was too late in producing results.


    Even though he entered Pure Yang College, cultivated the Qi Refinement Realm to perfection before the 60-year limit, and obtained the secret techniques of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he still failed at the verge of success.


    After using his one-time attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, Manager Ding suffered for another 20 years. He once again cultivated the Qi Refinement Realm to perfection. Then, with great determination he tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm again.


    However, it was a pity that things did not go well and Manager Ding still failed.


    After two tries, he exhausted all his potential and returned to Danxia City, where he was born, to be a teacher.


    Before reaching the Foundation Establishment, he had been focused on cultivation. However, after he had failed and returned to his roots, he had extra time to study the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.


    Among them, because Dharma Spells did not require capital, Manager Ding had a deep understanding of it. However, his teaching skills were average and most people would get sleepy listening to him.


    Usually, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too serious, but today was different.

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After Manager Ding announced the end of class, everyone in the classroom rushed to the cultivation rooms.


    Chen Mobai purposely pretended to be one step behind and missed the first batch. Then, he stomped his feet and sighed, using the excuse of going to the toilet to enter the teacher¡¯s office.


    The immortal sect only had classes in the morning. Students would self-study in the afternoon.


    All the students went to the cultivation rooms after class, and the teachers were no exception. Apart from Manager Ding, who had exhausted his potential and was destined to no longer be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the rest of the students, such as Chai Deyun, were all focused on their cultivation.


    However, even then, only Manager Ding would give up his use of the Rank-2 spiritual energy cultivation room.


    Thus, Chen Mobai had thought that Old Man Ding would be the only person in the teacher¡¯s office at this moment.


    However, just as he arrived at the door, he realized that apart from himself, there were already another classmate present.


    It was not Song Zheng, Old Man Ding¡¯s successor, but another late-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator in their class, Yang Bingxuan.


    Her bare face was beautiful and her long hair draped over her shoulders. Even the large school uniform could not hide her tall figure. When she saw Chen Mobai standing at the door, she frowned slightly. Then, she bowed slightly to Old Man Ding and left.


    Chen Mobai nodded at Yan Bingxuan, who was walking out. Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding in response.


    The two of them had different social circles in class. Although they were in the same class, they had only interacted briefly.


    However, Chen Mobai still felt that compared to last semester, Yan Bingxuan seemed to have a colder personality and temperament this semester.


    As though to match her name, this genius cultivator had made herself increasingly cold1.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, why are you here instead of waiting at the cultivation rooms?¡±


    Old Man Ding thought that he was a rather humorous person. After Chen Mobai heard this, he walked in with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, Teacher Ding. In order for me to have good results in the college entrance examination, my mother hired a tutor to guide me in the application of Dharma spells. Yesterday, he gave me an after-school assignment and asked me to break a wave-like defense barrier. However, I¡¯m really slow-witted and have no choice but to ask Teacher Ding for help.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Old Man Ding did not suspect anything.


    After all, the best way to improve one¡¯s Dharma spells cultivation was to keep practicing.


    Although the content taught in the school was extensive, in terms of specific spells and restrictions, it was indeed inferior to the content taught by some of the private practitioners.


    ¡°Your mom is quite generous. Private training doesn¡¯t come cheap.¡±


    Old Master Ding said casually as he searched for the origin of the water wave restriction in his spell database according to Chen Mobai¡¯s description.


    ¡°My mother has high hopes for me. I can only work hard and trouble Teacher Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to say much, so he could only be vague. Following this, he told Manager Ding in detail about how he had used coins to test the water wave restriction in the water mansion.


    ¡°Yes, according to your description, it¡¯s very likely that these three Dharma spells were used to create the restriction.¡±


    Ever since he had lost hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had put all his heart and soul into education. Thus, he put in a lot of effort to help Chen Mobai, who rarely took the initiative to seek guidance from him. As a result, he managed to dig out three spells from his spell database.


    The three spells were Water Shield, Wave Spell, and Scale Wave Technique.


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent the details of the Dharma spells and the way to crack the spells to your personal database. Go home and experiment more. If you still can¡¯t do it, you can write a report and send it to me.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw that Manager Ding had sent the three spell files to his interface address, he thanked Manager Ding profusely.


    If he wanted to download the information on these three spells from the immortal sect¡¯s spell library, he would have to pay at least 30 Karma Points.


    Furthermore, without a teacher like Manager Ding, who had a deep understanding of Dharma spells, Chen Mobai would have had to spend days and nights searching the internet alone.


    The welfare from the school was really good!


    Chen Mobai sighed from the bottom of his heart. This was also the reason why they placed so much importance on the college entrance examination.


    If one managed to get into those Dao Colleges, not only would they be able to use Divine Knowledge realm, but they would also be able to use secret techniques, Divine Knowledge realm spells, and immortal techniques for free.


    On Planet Earth, due to the mechanical civilization, there was basically no bias towards knowledge.


    As long as one reached the late stages of the Nascent Soul Realm, they could obtain the secret techniques of the Soul Formation Realm passed down by the immortal sect for free.


    It was also because of this that a Soul Formation Patriarch could be born in a world like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce, and lead the immortal sect.


    ¡°By the way, Teacher Ding, did Yan Bingxuan also come to ask you for advice on Dharma spells?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai left, he recalled what had just happened and subconsciously asked.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan? After entering the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, she seemed to have decided to transform her gold and water double-attribute True Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root. She was asking me for advice on how to purify and improve her Spiritual Root.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai had not thought that he would get an answer. However, Manager Ding had said it directly, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.


    ¡°This¡­ Can the Spiritual Root be converted and improved?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you haven¡¯t reached this level yet, but it¡¯s okay to tell you in advance.¡±


    Manager Ding tapped twice on his keyboard, selected a document, and sent it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The reason why I was accepted by Pure Yang College was because I had cultivated in seclusion for 20 years in Danzhu College. I had managed to transform my Spiritual Root into a Three-Yang Body. This can be considered a mutation into a special Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°However, after 20 years of hard work, although my Spiritual Root has become a superior-grade Spiritual Root, I was left with insufficient time to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    ¡°All of you know the story of the rest of my life. Even though I had the Three-Yang Body, I failed twice in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm and my potential was exhausted.¡±


    Chen Mobai roughly browsed through the document that Manager Ding had sent him regarding Spiritual Roots and found out the reason.


    Due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, the mighty figures of the immortal sects could only focus on developing Dharma spells and cultivation techniques, hoping to improve the overall quality of the cultivators in the immortal sect.


    Six thousand years ago, Guru Tianbo created the ¡°Gold Point Technique¡±. It could increase the attributes of the metal-attribute Spiritual Roots. When cultivated to the peak, it could turn an ordinary pseudo Spiritual Root that had less than 20 points into a metal-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root.


    Today, the immortal sects had more than ten secret spells that could purify and improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    Even the secret spells to transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root, a thunder Spiritual Root, or a wind Spiritual Root were widely circulated among the various schools.


    ¡°The better the Spiritual Root, the faster you can cultivate. However, if you spend time improving your Spiritual Root, the amount of time you spend cultivating will decrease accordingly. I¡¯m a negative example.¡±


    ¡°Hence, the immortal sect has a rule that before you go to university, teachers will not teach such content in class, in case the students get distracted.¡±


    ¡°Meanwhile, after you enter university, the various schools and colleges will have secret techniques that are suitable for you to inherit. These techniques will help you improve your Spiritual Root. However, whether you want to cultivate it or not will depend on you.¡±

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Chen Mobai looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before the first batch of students finished using the cultivation rooms. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave, so he started to ask more questions about purifying and improving his Spiritual Root.


    ¡°There must be someone highly-skilled in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s family. They know that her Spiritual Root can be turned into an ice Spiritual Root through the Frost Condensation Technique. Hence, she has been working hard in this direction since the beginning of her cultivation.¡±


    ¡°With regards to the way to purify and improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root, less time and resources will be spent the lower one¡¯s realm is.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s already at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm at such a young age. The conservative estimate is that she¡¯ll be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm three times. Hence, she¡¯s trying to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root before she achieves perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    ¡°Once she succeeds, she will be able to enter Nature College, one of the top ten colleges, without having to take the test. If she takes another step forward, she might even be able to pass the assessment of the four top Dao Colleges and achieve instant success.¡±


    The four top Dao Colleges were established by the five Soul Formation Patriarch who founded the immortal sect.


    Every cultivator who graduated from these colleges was a future high-ranking member of the immortal sect.


    In the past thousands of years, the success rate of the students from the four top Dao Colleges breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm had exceeded 80 percent.


    In Danxia City, a Blessed Land at the edge of the immortal sect, the last person who was admitted to the four top Dao Colleges was the red-robed Perfected One Yu Tianguang from 100 years ago. Now, he had successfully reached the Core Formation Realm.


    After leaving Old Man Ding¡¯s office, Chen Mobai waited for more than ten minutes and became the second batch of people to enter the cultivation room.


    After putting his cell phone away and turning on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app, he sat quietly in meditation. Then, he once again activated the Qi Nurturing Spell to temper the spiritual energy that he had increased using Spirit Pills and turned into his own.


    Time passed slowly. As usual, the Soul Suppressing Spell woke Chen Mobai up.


    When he walked out of the cultivation room, there were only a dozen unlucky people left outside.


    He looked around and saw his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, and a few of his classmates whom he got along with. They greeted each other and went home.


    In the past, these good friends of his would even drink some spiritual tea together after school and play some games to practice their Dharma spells.


    However, after entering the third year of high school, all these entertainment activities had been canceled.


    Due to the pressure of going to college, even his deskmate Lu Hongsheng, who had always been lazy due to his poor Spiritual Root, started to work hard.


    Before Chen Mobai went home, he had bought a box of glass beads from a convenience store by the road to practice the circulation of his spiritual power.


    When he got home, he took advantage of the time he had to cook. Then, he cut some small talismans and logged into the online trading platform. He realized that there was only one cultivator from the same city bidding for the talismans.


    The cultivator had offered 18 Karma Points.


    It was a little low, but typically, Chen Mobai would definitely agreed to trade. After all, this was a product from a small individual workshop. Thus, it would be cheaper than buying from a regular shop.


    However, today, he had to explore the water mansion that the turtle shell had transported him to, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to do business.


    After eating and washing up, Chen Mobai returned to his room.


    He held the turtle shell in his hand and observed it carefully. Just like last night, it was an ordinary old turtle shell. It was covered in traces of being smoked and had no spiritual energy.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for yesterday¡¯s magical trip, Chen Mobai would have never believed that this thing was actually a spatial Dharma artifact.


    After placing the turtle shell in the drawer of the bedside table, Chen Mobai took out his cell phone and tapped on the app called ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    After a night of exploring, he had some understanding of ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    There were three functions. There was no need to further elaborate on [Return to City]. This function allowed him to return to this place.


    As for whether the city referred to his room or the place where the turtle shell was, it remained to be seen.


    The other function, [Teleport], was closely related to the [Return to City] function. Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding, this was the culprit who had sent him to the mysterious water mansion yesterday.


    The last function, [Representative], was the only one he had no clue about.


    Obviously, the three functions could not be used indefinitely. Only when the virtual buttons of the three functions in the software lit up would there be a reaction when he tapped on them. Now, only [Teleport] was lit up.


    The night before, Chen Mobai had waited till three in the morning. When he realized this, he had once again used the [Teleportation] function to go to the water mansion.


    However, he still found nothing. However, after cultivating the Rank-2 spiritual energy for a night, the side effects of taking the pills had been reduced by 50 to 60 percent.


    Chen Mobai estimated that if he went into seclusion to cultivate for another two or three days in the water mansion, he would be able to get rid of the hidden dangers of breaking through after taking the pills. Then, he would be able to cultivate the Five Elements Technique again and raise his level in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    It was also because of this that Chen Mobai had the courage to return to the water mansion and even attempt to break the restrictions in the back hall.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. If one wanted to rent leyline spiritual energy of this level from the immortal sect, they would have to spend 160 Karma Points every month.


    In other words, every day that Chen Mobai cultivated in the water mansion was equivalent to earning 5.33 Karma Points for free. It was a pity that he had to work so hard to cut the talismans but only earned 20 to 30 Karma Points a month.


    With this in mind, it was no wonder that Chen Mobai had turned his nose up at his small online workshop.


    ¡°According to yesterday¡¯s two round trips, [Teleport] should have a cooldown time of six hours. Meanwhile, [Return to City] should have a longer cooldown time of ten hours. The cooldown time starts from the last time the function was used.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a mental calculation of the two trips that he had experienced the night before and came to a preliminary conclusion.


    Half an hour later, exactly 10 hours after he had teleported back, the [Return to City] button popped up and lit up in his eyes.


    This way, he could return immediately if he realized something was wrong.


    Chen Mobai immediately hung the ¡°Do Not Disturb¡± sign on his door and locked it. Then, he took a deep breath and pressed the [Teleport] button on his phone.


    [Do you wish to select Destination 1 (Unnamed)?]


    Chen Mobai selected [Yes].


    Following this, a silver light flashed and he seemed to have turned into light. After about five to six seconds, he disappeared from the room.


    He looked up.


    Looking at the familiar underwater environment, Chen Mobai suppressed the joy in his heart.


    Although he didn¡¯t know where he was, at least he had a middle-grade Rank-2 secret base.


    He took out the box of glass beads that he had prepared beforehand and poured his spiritual power into it. The originally transparent beads started to bloom with colorful lights. This was because of the combination of the five attributes and the spiritual power that Chen Mobai cultivated.


    The Five Elements Technique was a basic technique that a Soul Formation Patriarch from the immortal sect had spent 1,000 years developing. When any cultivator cultivated, the technique would automatically transform and take on a spiritual energy attribute that was most suitable for them. It was equivalent to custom-made a Qi Refinement technique for every cultivator, and it was also the most suitable for their physique and Spiritual Root.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    In that case, 23 percent of the spiritual power he would generate from cultivating the Five Elements Technique would be of the metal attribute, 27 percent of it would be of the wood attribute, and so on. It would be a perfect match for his Spiritual Root.


    Furthermore, these five elements were interlinked and could increase one¡¯s realm during cultivation. This was the reason why immortal sects were able to survive in a place like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce. It was also the reason why all the people were able to cultivate.

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    However, the Five Elements Technique was not omnipotent.


    For cultivators like Chen Mobai, whose Spiritual Root had roughly equal attribute points in all attributes, the Five Elements Technique was a supreme mystic technique. Not only was the spiritual power he cultivated suited for his physique, but his progress was also not slow.


    However, to those cultivators with superior-grade Spiritual Roots, this technique was extremely mediocre.


    For example, for cultivators with Heaven Spiritual Roots, they only needed to cultivate spiritual power of a single attribute. This way, not only would they be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort, their Dharmic power would also be pure. Furthermore, when they broke through to the next realm, there would be few bottlenecks.


    Generally speaking, every cultivator was born with a total of 100 Spiritual Root attribute points.


    Within the territory of the Blessed Lands of the immortal sect, every cultivator had to go to a tertiary hospital to undergo a precise spiritual test before they could step into the Qi Refinement Realm. They had to confirm the attributes of their Spiritual Root and have a Spiritual Root assessment report from the hospital.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, as long as a particular attribute of a Spiritual Root was above 20, it meant that the Spiritual Root had that attribute. Chen Mobai a triple-attribute Spiritual Root with metal, wood, and water attributes. Thus, his Spiritual Root had barely been assigned the rank of a True Spiritual Root.


    This was also what made his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, feel indignant. This was because his Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 8, Wood 25, Water 23, Fire 22, and Earth 22.


    In reality, he was about the same as Chen Mobai. However, because the attributes of his Spiritual Root were a little more balanced, the hospital had identified him as having a pseudo Spiritual Root with four attributes.


    As for the so-called Heaven Spiritual Root, it meant that it had more than 80 attribute points in one of the five attributes!


    This meant that even a cultivator with a Heaven Spiritual Root had attribute points in the other four attributes. It was just that very few points were allocated to the other attributes.


    As for a perfect Heaven Spiritual Root with 100 attribute points in one attribute, there had been no records of it in the immortal sect for tens of thousands of years.


    The spiritual power cultivated by the Five Elements Technique would adapt to the attributes of every cultivator¡¯s Spiritual Root. Even for a cultivator with a Heaven Spiritual Root, the spiritual power cultivated would be mixed with some of the other four attributes. It was as if there were some unnecessary impurities.


    It was the same for the other cultivators with special Spiritual Roots.


    However, all of this was not important to Chen Mobai.


    He circulated the Five Elements Technique that he had been taught in school and poured his five elemental spiritual power into the glass beads, causing the beads to emit a colorful rainbow light. It was as if a halo was floating from his palm.


    This type of glass bead was a small toy that trained one¡¯s control over one¡¯s spiritual power. One could control one at Qi Refinement Level-1. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current strength at Qi Refinement Level-5, he should be able to control five of them at the same time and cause them to float as he wished.


    However, he had just entered the Qi Refinement Level-5 and had not stabilized his realm, so he did not insist on doing so.


    Following the information from Old Man Ding, he threw the four pieces of glass toward the side hall on the right.


    There was a loud crash.


    A wave of water ripples appeared and sent the first glass bead flying. Following this, a second wave appeared. Then, the third wave sent the other glass beads flying¡­


    Chen Mobai held his cell phone and looked at the description of the three spells that Old Man Ding had given him. He frowned.


    He discovered that the water wave Restriction in this side hall actually had the characteristics of Water Shield, Wave Spell and the Scale Wave Technique at the same time. Furthermore, with his realm, if he wanted to break this compound restriction, he would have to use a powerful talisman. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he broke through to the late stages of Qi Refinement Realm before he could try.


    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just cultivate for now. In any case, I¡¯ll have plenty of time to explore this place in the future.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai looked at the time and decided not to waste this middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. He sat in the middle of the front hall before starting to meditate and cultivate.


    He had sent his parents a text message earlier today, saying that he was going into seclusion in his room and was not to be disturbed.


    The pure water-element spiritual power turned into blue light particles and were refined by the Five Elements Technique. After the five elements circulated, they turned into a wave of spiritual power that was most suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root and physique. It slowly circulated throughout his body, nourishing the meridians and acupoints that had been forcefully broken open by the pills.


    Although there was a lack of resources in the immortal sect, due to their operations that spanned over 10,000 years and the resources they had plundered during the war, they basically had all sorts of spiritual herbs. Furthermore, based on the leylines and the meteorology of the Blessed Land, the spiritual herbs were grown to suit local conditions and were well-cultivated.


    Alchemy was one of the four major subjects in the immortal sect. It was combined with medicine, allowing for the perfect use of medicinal herbs. It was also the foundation of the immortal sect¡¯s ability to support 300 million cultivators on Planet Earth alone.


    There were basically all sorts of pills from the immortal sect.


    However, there was one type of pill that was rarely refined, and that was the Foundation Establishment Pill.


    Although there was a collection of such ancient pill recipes in the immortal sect, they had been banned by the immortal sect 5,000 years ago. It wasn¡¯t that there was a problem with the pills, it was just that they were too wasteful.


    The Foundation Establishment Pill was an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual medicine, while the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma, was a superior-grade Rank-3 spiritual medicine. Using it to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill was simply a waste of natural resources.


    Furthermore, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma could be used to refine a type of elixir called the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±. This type of elixir could be used to assist a Foundation Establishment cultivator in achieving the Golden Core Realm.


    If the immortal sect was rich in resources and the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma was planted in the herb garden one batch after another to be harvested, then it wasn¡¯t impossible to use a small amount to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill while refining the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±.


    However, the problem was that the immortal sect didn¡¯t have many resources. Although they had all the types of spiritual herbs, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma could only be grown in two caves. It wasn¡¯t even enough to refine the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±, so why would they waste it to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?


    Although the lower-class cultivators did not agree to the rules of the immortal sect, the biggest difference between the cultivation civilization and the mechanical civilization was that the upper class determined everything.


    The value of a Golden Core Perfected One was more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. In that case, would the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma be used to refine the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡± or the ¡°Foundation Establishment Pill¡±?


    The answer was obvious.


    It was also because of this that to cultivators in the immortal sect, achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm was extremely difficult.


    In the past, at least there had been Foundation Establishment Pills to look forward to. But now, 99 percent of cultivators could only rely on themselves to break through.


    This was the reason why all the cultivators from the immortal sect wanted to enter the top Dao Colleges.


    Although they would not learn how to refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the top Dao Colleges, they would be able to refine low-grade spiritual herbs that could assist them in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Furthermore, there were many secret techniques that could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for the experience they needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, there was no need to mention it. There were tens of thousands of such experiences, and they would be able to find a match.


    The Purple Fire Pill that Chen Mobai used to break through to Qi Refinement Level-5 was a pill refined by the local Crimson Afterglow College in Danxia City. They only produced 100 pills a month.


    The reason why Chen Mobai had been able to secure the right to purchase the pill was because he had once connected with a senior from the Crimson Afterglow College from selling talismans. The senior happened to be working part-time as a customer service staff in the Crimson Afterglow College¡¯s online flagship store, so he had done some internal maneuvering.


    For every type of pill, there had to be a corresponding prescription and a letter of credit.


    In the pre-ancient times of the immortal sect, there had been many cultivators who had taken pills indiscriminately, making their lives worse than death.


    In the present day, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was a product of a reputable pharmacy, no cultivator would dare to take a pill without an alchemist¡¯s signature and without a certificate.

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The immortal sect had inherited many systems from the previous civilization on Planet Earth. For example, any pills that were put on the market would have to be packaged and labeled with all the ingredients of the pills.


    In other words, for every type of pill sold, the recipe had to be listed in the appendix.


    However, if one wanted to rely on the explanation in the appendix to refine the finished product, it was basically a fantasy.


    The combination of modern medicine refining techniques and pill refining techniques would take more than three days and nights to explain. Hence, although the pill recipes were all public knowledge, pill refining was still a monopolized industry.


    However, every time a university or a Dao College came up with a new type of pill, they would need to spend a huge amount of resources. Thus, they had to earn money. Otherwise, no one would be willing to invest in the pharmaceutical industry just by relying on the subsidies from the sect.


    The Purple Fire Pills of the Crimson Afterglow College were pills that were specially used to break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    In particular, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-4 to Qi Refinement Level-5, the success rate after consuming the Purple Fire Pill would be the highest at around 60 to 70 percent. Meanwhile, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-5 to Qi Refinement Level-6, the success rate would be more than halved. There would only be a 20 to 30 percent chance of success.


    Furthermore, if a cultivator with a water Spiritual Root consumed it, the effect would be further halved. Meanwhile, if a cultivator with a wood or fire Spiritual Root consumed it, the success rate would be increased by another 10%.


    However, even so, the Purple Fire Pill was the most popular among pills of the same level.


    Because of its mild medicinal properties, the Crimson Afterglow College had perfected the refining process of the Purple Fire Pill for hundreds of years to the point of perfection.


    After taking the pill, one would only need to nourish their body with the Qi Nurturing Spell, which was issued to the masses by the immortal sect, for half a month and the side effects of the forced breakthrough would be resolved.


    Chen Mobai was very lucky.


    This was because the Purple Fire Pill was made using the ¡°Purple Sunflower¡± that was unique to Danxia City. It contained a trace of Yang fire and purple qi. If it was dissolved using the temperature of water spiritual energy, it would yield twice the result with half the effort.


    Meanwhile, the water mansion was built on top of a middle-grade Rank-2 water-type spiritual vein. Water spiritual energy was the most concentrated here.


    Two days later.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes in surprise.


    He could feel that his body was at his disposal and there was no longer any obstruction to his spiritual power. He was sure that his realm at Qi Refinement Level-5 had been completely stabilized.


    It took even less time than he had expected. He could only say that he had underestimated the spiritual energy from the middle-grade Rank-2 water vein.


    However, he couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. After all, he was from an ordinary family and had never cultivated in a spiritual land like the water mansion.


    He took out the box of glass beads that he had bought previously.


    One bead, two beads, three beads¡­ When the fifth bead emitted a colorful glow and slowly flew out of his palm, Chen Mobai smiled happily.


    Now, he might really be able to reach Qi Refinement Level-6 before the college entrance examination.


    He got up and stretched.


    Then, Chen Mobai started to size up the water mansion again.


    As usual, nothing had changed.


    In the past two days, he had consulted Old Man Ding again, using the excuse that his private teacher had seen his rapid improvement. Thus, his teacher increased the difficulty of his homework and created this big problem of complex restrictions.


    Old Man Ding thought that it was because he had been of great use to Chen Mobai¡¯s learning, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel comforted. After asking Chen Mobai in detail about the characteristics of the compound restriction, he combined it with his own teaching experience and gave Chen Mobai two more ways to break the restriction.


    The first method was similar to what Chen Mobai had thought. He would use a powerful restriction-breaking talisman to hit the weakest point of the restriction and break it with force.


    The second method was to break the complex restriction with a few tricks. Although the complex formation was powerful, it was a combination of multiple spells that were interlocked and extremely precise. As long as one of the spells was broken, the rest of the spells would disappear and jam even if they weren¡¯t broken.


    If the person who had set up the restriction was of an average standard, the restriction could even be destroyed by one of the Dharma spells. The remaining spells would conflict with each other and automatically disintegrate.


    Old Man Ding was a proud man and had given Chen Mobai a subsequent solution.


    He would need to use a forbidden Dharma artifact to isolate the spiritual energy supply of the underwater spiritual energy. After the compound restriction was exposed, he would use the corresponding method to break it.


    However, Chen Mobai was poor and the only Dharma artifact he had was the child¡¯s version of the Demon Vanquishing Sword that he had hung in his room. Because he had cast the Light Spell on it, it could barely be considered an inferior-grade Rank-1 ornamental Dharma artifact.


    He went to the online market of the immortal sect and took a look. He realized that the cheapest Dharma artifact that met the requirements would cost 500 Karma Points.


    Thus, he could only switch to the first method of breaking the restriction.


    Chen Mobai took out three talismans with green arrows engraved on them from his pocket. He looked pained.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-1 ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± that was worth 35 Karma Points each.


    After consulting with Old Man Ding for two days, Chen Mobai knew that it was best to use wood-attribute Dharma spells or talismans to break the unfamiliar water-attribute restriction.


    Using fire against water was naturally the most effective.


    However, once the power of the water attribute restriction was far beyond what he had estimated, then the violent reaction of the water and fire spiritual forces would affect the attacker. If he wasn¡¯t careful, he would die on the spot.


    On the other hand, wood also countered water. The stimulation of water attribute spiritual power was not as intense as fire attribute spiritual power. Even if the power of the restriction was extraordinary, the aftermath would not be too intense.


    The power of this ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± was not much different from the ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡± that Chen Mobai had taken a fancy to and placed in his shopping cart.


    After the ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡± was used, it would condense into a transparent flowing water sword. It could be gathered and dispersed at will, and it could flow at will for a maximum of 15 minutes.


    Meanwhile, after the ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± was used, it would condense into a number of long green arrows based on the caster¡¯s cultivation level. At most, it could release six arrows in one go.


    Chen Mobai was at Qi Refinement Level-5. After using the talisman, there would be five long arrows.


    Although it was a bit of a waste, there was no other way. This was the most suitable talisman to break the seal.


    In order to achieve this, Chen Mobai had not only used up all of his savings, but he had also taken the time to sell all the blank talismans that he had saved up during his spare time in school. Only then did he barely manage to gather enough Karma Points to buy these three Green Arrow Talismans.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing of value inside after breaking the restriction, I¡¯ll be at a great loss.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself as he gathered the spiritual energy in his body. He even took out his ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± and infused it with some spiritual energy to activate it, in case something unexpected happened during the breaking of the restriction and he got hit by the aftermath.


    Crash!


    At this point, the sound of running water could be heard.


    As Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief, he saw an opening in the sphere-shaped light shield that covered the entire water mansion. Then, two figures appeared.


    There was one young figure and one old figure.


    The old man had grey hair and held a black flag, but his eyes were shining.


    Meanwhile, the young man had an ordinary face and was wearing a brown robe. After he landed, he immediately kept a distance of two meters from the old man.


    The two of them and Chen Mobai, who was standing in the front hall, formed a triangle and looked at one another.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Little brother, why are you in my master¡¯s cave abode?¡±


    The old figure was the oldest among the three and also the first to recover. He raised the black flag in his hand and asked with a frown.


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he cursed in his heart and looked embarrassed.


    After all, in the immortal sect, one was not allowed to check the other party¡¯s cultivation level without the permission of the owner. Thus, he did not know their cultivation levels. However, he could sense that their spiritual power fluctuations were not much different from his.


    Furthermore, from the way the old figure and the young man had entered the cave, it was obvious that they had the correct key.


    Although he had entered the water mansion by accident, he had, after all, occupied this treasured land and cultivated for a few days. Now that he had been seen by the master¡¯s disciple, he felt a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Senior, please don¡¯t take it to heart. I entered by accident and will leave immediately.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the two figures who had entered the water mansion were strangers to each other. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he stopped.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. There are no signs of the Jade Water Array being damaged. Little brother said that it was an accident, so it should be true.¡±


    The old man waved the black flag in his hand and checked the formation protecting the entire cave abode. He also confirmed that the restrictions on the three side halls were intact. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and nodded at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ll release the array formation now. Little brother, you can leave.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai saw that a two-meter-diameter hole had appeared in the light shield that covered the entrance of the front hall. However, the water outside did not rush in, as if it was blocked by an invisible force.


    Under the gaze of the old man and the young figure, who were obviously sending him off, Chen Mobai nodded slightly even though he was suspicious. He walked between the two of them to the entrance of the cave.


    Buzz!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step through the opening of the light shield, a ray of green light shot out of his tightly clenched palm like a jet of ink. It turned into a wooden armor that covered his entire body.


    Dong! Dong! Dong!


    Three long, yellowish-brown needles appeared out of nowhere. The tips of the needles carried a dark yellow glow as they pierced the wooden armor covering of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just trespassing? How could he do such a thing? Where¡¯s the law?!¡±


    Chen Mobai turned around and saw the ordinary-looking young man holding a needle case in one hand and making hand seals with the other with a cold gaze. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be furious.


    Planet Earth, which was ruled by the immortal sect, adhered to the law of the previous civilization.


    Murder was a serious crime.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the fact that Chen Mobai had activated the ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± beforehand and activated it automatically, he would have died on the spot.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you attacking yet?!¡±


    When the young man in brown saw that his magic weapon had been blocked and that Chen Mobai had a murderous look on his face, he was afraid that both sides would suffer. Although he was already at Qi Refinement Level-6, he didn¡¯t want to waste too much spiritual power before breaking the restriction.


    Hence, he drew out three long needles from the box as he shouted at the old man.


    ¡°Fine, look at my divine lightning!¡±


    When the old man heard this, he shouted and his eyes flashed sharply. He waved the black flag in his hand and waved it at Chen Mobai. Then, with his other hand, he took out a blue talisman from his sleeve.


    However, this talisman was pointing at the young man in brown.


    There was a thunderous sound. Then, the brown-clothed young man shouted angrily and then forcefully reversed his spiritual power. He turned the flying needles that he was about to shoot at Chen Mobai and stabbed the old man.


    As Chen Mobai was still trying to figure out what was going on, the young man in brown was hit by the old man¡¯s divine lightning and fell down unwillingly.


    Meanwhile, his flying needles had been blocked by the power of the old man¡¯s water mansion array formation that was controlled by the black flag.


    ¡°Ding, ding, ding.¡± The flying needles fell on the floor tiles and the tip of the needles stabbed the ground. The sharpness of the needles was obvious.


    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re just a third-rate successor of the Flying Needle Sect and you think you can share the gains of this secret realm with me? This is the lawless Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    As the old man laughed, he waved the black flag in his hand again. He controlled the Jade Water Array in an attempt to kill Chen Mobai. However, the power of Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± had not been exhausted and blocked the water waves that came at him.


    ¡°Where exactly is this place? The Eastern Wastelands? The 36 Grotto-Heavens and the 72 Blessed Lands don¡¯t include a place with this name.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai had still been immersed in the huge impact of the old man and the young man turning hostile and killing each other. However, the Wooden Armor Talisman in his palm had exhausted its spiritual power and started to burn, causing him to wake up instantly.


    He didn¡¯t know the old man¡¯s cultivation level, but the black flag in his hand was the core of this great array in the water mansion and could control the power of the entire array.


    Although the Jade Water Array was harmless, once Chen Mobai was trapped and struck by a lightning talisman like the brown-clothed youth, the outcome would be the same. He would die.


    At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Mobai did not hesitate and threw out a Green Arrow Talisman that he had prepared beforehand.


    Tsk tsk tska€|


    Five long green arrows appeared in the air like vines and rapidly covered the area where the old man was.


    ¡°Hmph, if we were outside the water mansion, I would definitely avoid you.¡±


    The old man laughed and confidently waved the black flag in his hand. The power of the Jade Water Array was activated and turned into invisible ripples, freezing the four long green arrows that had fallen in front of him in mid-air.


    ¡°Little child, how did you manage to cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-5? Your aim is so bad.¡±


    Just as the old man was about to seal the entrance with a smile and trap Chen Mobai to death, his expression suddenly froze.


    This was because he realized that the Jade Water Array was no longer under his control. Following this, he saw that the entrance of the light shield, which was about to be sealed, had stopped. However, Chen Mobai, who could have used this opportunity to escape from the water mansion array, stopped at the entrance of the cave. Instead, he took out two Green Arrow Talismans and looked at the old man coldly.


    ¡°This kid¡­ How did he know that the array flag was for protection?¡±


    The old man looked around and couldn¡¯t help but shudder.


    It turned out that Chen Mobai¡¯s Green Arrow Talisman and the four spiritual energy arrows that had been shot at him were just a decoy to attract his attention.


    Another arrow that looked like it had been shot out of alignment happened to fall on an array base not far from him, breaking an array flag that was stuck in it.


    Although the Jade Water Array was a Rank-2 array, it was completely defenseless against attacks from within the array.


    Chen Mobai, who had already figured out the layout of the water mansion, had used this point to break one of the array flags, causing the array that had been running smoothly to be stuck.


    The old man¡¯s face was ashen. He looked at the three side halls behind the water mansion, but when he felt that the talisman in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand was about to be activated, he gritted his teeth and tried to retreat.


    After all, he was only at Qi Refinement Level-3.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the black flag in his hand was the core of the Jade Water Array, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to attack the brown-clothed youth and Chen Mobai.


    However, at this point, a green light flashed across the sky. The two arrows in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands had been activated. Ten spiritual energy arrows appeared in the air and were aimed at the old man.


    ¡°Little brother, no, Senior, please have mercy¡­¡±

 Chapter 10

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    As the old man begged for mercy, he slapped the two protective talismans that he had treasured on himself.


    However, having seen how ruthless the old man had been to his companions, Chen Mobai only hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and activated both of the Green Arrow Talismans. At the same time, five glass beads that were shining with colorful light rose from his back.


    ¡°Watch my Green Arrow Talisman.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the way the old man had ambushed the young man in brown and felt that he was a cunning and evil man with a suspicious mind. Hence, he decided to trick the old man.


    On the surface, the two Green Arrow Talismans were activated at the same time. Ten spiritual energy arrows were aimed at the old man, who had a two-colored yellow and blue shield around him. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai also secretly controlled five glass beads, which emitted five-elemental spiritual energy fluctuations. It looked very dazzling, like a magic weapon.


    Indeed, the old man looked suspicious.


    After a moment of hesitation, the old man gritted his teeth. He decided to trust his many years of fighting experience and make what he felt was the correct judgment.


    He felt that Chen Mobai¡¯s two Green Arrow Talismans, which he displayed boldly, were just a cover. The real killer move should be the five dazzling beads that were overflowing with five-elemental spiritual energy.


    Finally, he activated both of his middle-grade Rank-1 defensive talismans, which he had used to protect himself, to block the ten spiritual energy arrows.


    At the same time, the old man threw out the black flag and activated the water spiritual energy could still be controlled by the Jade Water Array. It turned into waves of water and swept over, enveloping the five-colored glass beads that were flying from another direction.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    However, who would have thought that the moment the stream of spiritual energy came into contact with the colorful beads that Chen Mobai had thrown, the beads would turn into dust like plaster powder.


    ¡°Oh no, I¡¯ve been tricked. This guy is so crafty!¡±


    Just as this thought flashed through the old man¡¯s mind, ten long green arrows that had gathered most of Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power had already struck the two defensive talismans in front of the old man.


    The powerful impact caused the old man, who was protected by the protective shield, to involuntarily retreat step by step.


    The yellow and blue light shield was like a light bulb with insufficient electricity as it flickered.


    The old man was only at Qi Refinement Level-1. Although he was experienced in fighting and had a decent background, he wasn¡¯t supported by the power of the water mansion array and fell into the trap of empiricism. He had been tricked by Chen Mobai. Thus, the spiritual power in his dantian was almost drained by the two defensive talismans.


    However, at a time like this, even if he couldn¡¯t take it, he had to.


    The old man took out a bottle of pills to restore his spiritual power. Ignoring the waste and side effects, he swallowed all of them in one go. Then, his face turned red, but his spiritual power fluctuations suddenly increased.


    The yellow and blue light shield seemed to have received enough spiritual power and started operating at normal power.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Seven green spiritual energy arrows were blocked in succession and dissipated after exhausting their energy. Meanwhile, the yellow light shield around the old man¡¯s body also reached its limit and turned into a yellow glow that disappeared.


    However, at this point, the old man was actually delighted. After all, based on his many years of fighting experience, he had already estimated that his other water attribute defensive talisman could completely block the remaining three spiritual energy arrows.


    It wasn¡¯t as though he hadn¡¯t killed someone at Qi Refinement Level-5 as a Qi Refinement Level-3 cultivator before.


    Just as the old man was thinking of how he could retaliate and kill Chen Mobai so that he could take over the water mansion, he suddenly realized something.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. This kid has been plotting against me from the start!¡±


    The old man tried to adjust his position, but it was too late. Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power burst out and the remaining power of the Green Arrow Talismans burst out at once. Three long green arrows hit the blue light shield around the old man¡¯s body heavily, pushing him back three steps again.


    It was these three steps that caused the old man¡¯s back to touch the stone door of the side hall in the middle of the water mansion.


    Pfft!


    The dark blue lightning restriction was activated. Under the old man¡¯s desperate expression, it shattered the blue light shield that he was using most of his strength. Then, it entered his body without any obstruction and his body exploded into pieces amidst his screams.


    ¡°Huff huff huff¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was breathing heavily, not only because he had exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, but also because this was the first time he had seen a living person die before his eyes.


    He had seen this scene countless times in movies and dramas.


    However, he had never felt such a huge impact that was hard to express in words before.


    His mind went blank.


    Although he hadn¡¯t killed either of them, he was indirectly involved.


    In a moment of dizziness, Chen Mobai fell on his butt.


    After some time, a fish that had rolled its eyes landed next to him with a splash. Chen Mobai finally snapped out of his daze.


    One of the array flags of the Jade Water Array had been broken by his Green Arrow Talisman and there were already cracks.


    The hole that had been opened by the old man seemed to be there forever now. It did not continue to seal.


    This fish had been very lucky when it was floating in the water. It had jumped into the hole and lost the protection of the water. As a result, it used all its strength to jump to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, rolled its eyes, and died.


    ¡°I have to think of a way to fix this defensive formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai mumbled to himself. He still had no idea where exactly he was.


    According to the old man, it was a place called the ¡°Eastern Wilderness¡±.


    This place was lawless.


    If anyone else were to discover this water mansion, Chen Mobai felt that it would be useless to reason with them.


    Hence, it was best to fix the Jade Water Array and hide the water mansion again.


    However, the field of array formations was the most difficult out of the four subjects. Even though Chen Mobai was quite hardworking, his results were average.


    He walked to the array flag that he had broken and tied it up with a rope, propping it up again.


    However, it was useless.


    As he sighed, Chen Mobai saw the black flag that the old man had used to crush the glass beads. With a flash of inspiration, he controlled the black flag with the Vertical Raising Spell and replaced the flag he had broken.


    After waiting for 15 minutes, there was still no response.


    Chen Mobai racked his brain, trying to recall all the knowledge he had learned in class regarding array formations.


    Finally, he recalled an example that his teacher had taught him.


    The array formation was equivalent to a sophisticated machine. If there was a problem and it needed to be repaired, it would need to be recharged with spiritual power to activate. It was equivalent to the new equipment having to be powered up and tested.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. After all, he wasn¡¯t a professional array master and was afraid that activating this step would be dangerous.


    However, when he thought about how the middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land in this water mansion had helped him greatly in cultivation over the past three days, he gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.


    A surge of spiritual power was injected into the black flag.


    There was still no response.


    No, that wasn¡¯t right. The activation would have to take place at the main formation flag.


    Chen Mobai thought of another point of knowledge. He walked to the center of the front hall and poured in his spiritual energy.


    Buzz!


    Then, to his delight, the entrance of the Jade Water Array started to shrink and eventually disappeared.


    As expected, it worked.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing that the array had started working again, Chen Mobai could finally heave a sigh of relief.


    He wanted to sit down and rest, but when he saw the two bodies in the water mansion, he wasn¡¯t in the mood.


    Once he closed his eyes, he felt as if both of them had died with a grievance.


    However, Chen Mobai had no experience in dealing with corpses. He paced back and forth in the hall and saw the dead fish. He wondered if he should throw them into the water outside the array and let the fish eat them clean.


    However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Although he did not know where the Eastern Wastelands was, he had been addicted to all kinds of criminal investigation dramas since he was young. Thus, he felt that the fish here should not be so fierce that they could completely destroy the evidence.


    In order to prevent the corpses from floating to the surface and being discovered by the cultivators of the Eastern Wastelands, Chen Mobai felt that the safest way was to completely eliminate the traces of their existence in this water mansion.


    However, how should he eliminate the traces?


    Chen Mobai walked back and forth with a frown. He thought of burning the corpses with fire. However, not to mention that he did not cultivate the Firelight Technique, even if the temperature was high enough, it was impossible for an ordinary third-year student like him to burn the corpse in this sealed space.


    Finally, he walked back to the old man¡¯s torn body. He resisted his body¡¯s instinctive reaction and was about to turn away when he saw the sealed stone door of the side hall.


    ¡°Right, I can use the restriction here.¡±


    Thinking of the first time he had tested the restriction with a coin, which had been vaporized by the ghostly blue lightning, Chen Mobai felt that his idea should work.


    Without further ado, he immediately went into action.


    It was mainly because Chen Mobai really did not want to stay with the corpses anymore.


    He used the Vertical Raising Spell that he was most proficient in to pick up one of the old man¡¯s arms. Then, he threw it towards the stone door of the middle side hall.


    There was a hiss!


    As expected, without the protection of spiritual power and barrier this time, the bloodstained arm directly turned into a large bloody mist under the impact of the dark blue lightning, slightly dyeing the floor tiles red. The blood that splattered on the stone door triggered the power of the restriction again.


    Sizzlea€|


    After that, the entire water mansion was immersed in the constant flickering and flashing of lightning.


    After five trips, the old man¡¯s body was finally disposed of.


    To Chen Mobai¡¯s surprise, the restriction on the stone door of the side hall seemed to have weakened a little.


    ¡°It seems that the restrictions in the side hall are not connected to the spiritual veins in the entire water mansion. This makes it much easier to break the restrictions.¡±


    An outstanding array master would link a few important buildings to the entire spiritual vein array when setting up the protective array. This way, as long as the array was not broken and the spiritual vein did not dissipate, the power of the restrictions on the buildings would immediately recover.


    Although this Jade Water Array was not bad, it was obvious that the person who set up the array had simply bought array discs and array flags. They had copied the array without an attempt at originality.


    After Chen Mobai finished dealing with the old man¡¯s corpse, he discovered that there was a bloodstained cloth pouch on the floor tiles. With the principle of caution, he used the Vertical Raising Spell to lift the cloth pouch into the air and then poured out the contents.


    A pile of items was poured out with a crash.


    Aside from a dozen neatly cut strips of gold, there were two books, three bottles of pills, a short knife, and a change of robes.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s breathing quickened when he saw the gold. Although the value of this thing was not as good as in the previous civilized era, it was still a cultivation material in the immortal sect. Be it gold powder that had been mixed with special craftsmanship to be used for writing talismans or gold essence that was produced after refinement, there was a huge market for it.


    These dozen or so pieces of gold were roughly worth more than 800 Karma Points. If they were handled well, he could earn nearly 1,000 Karma Points.


    Chen Mobai, who had never had so much money since he was young, felt a little uneasy.


    Then, he picked up the two books and flipped through them. One should be the old man¡¯s cultivation technique, the Black Water Technique. Chen Mobai put it down after reading it. Now was not the time to study it.


    After reading the title of the other book, he could not help but breathe heavily.


    The book was called ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    This was actually the manual for the entire protective array in the water mansion. Chen Mobai originally thought that the old man was lying when he said that he was the disciple of the water mansion¡¯s master. Now that he saw this book, he felt that it might be true.


    However, this array formation book was a little thick. Chen Mobai looked at his phone. There was only an hour left before class started, so he didn¡¯t study it carefully.


    Furthermore, at that moment, another thought occurred to him. Could he take these things with him when he returned to the city?


    With this question in mind, he began to dispose of the brown-clad youth¡¯s body.


    At this moment, he had experience. First, he flipped the young man up and down with the Vertical Raising Spell. Sure enough, he found six hidden pockets in the sleeves of the brown-clothed young man.


    He found a bottle of pills, two jade-white stones, a collapsible crossbow, and a book titled ¡°Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual¡±.


    Then, he opened the palm-sized needle box in the brown-robed youth¡¯s hand and collected the khaki flying needles that he had shot everywhere. Satisfied, Chen Mobai took the items from the old man¡¯s cloth bag and piled them together.


    Then, after Chen Mobai finished vaporizing the corpse with the restriction at the stone door again, he used the old man¡¯s changing robe as a rag and wiped all the blood stains in the entire water mansion.


    The floor tiles in front of the door leading to the side halls were all wiped clean by using the Vertical Raising Spell to finely control the robes from a distance. Even the fish was put away.


    Everything was neat and tidy again. Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment one experienced after cleaning up their house.


    He sat down in the middle of the hall, in front of the pile of spoils he had worked so hard to retrieve.


    The old man¡¯s cloth bag was also stained with some blood. Chen Mobai thought it was bad luck and it was useless. Thus, he took off his shirt and laid it on the floor tiles. Then, he put all the items he collected on it.


    In the end, he touched the two jade-white stones. A gentle and pure wave of spiritual energy rushed into the meridians in his palm like a warm current, making Chen Mobai shiver and almost shout out in pleasure.


    ¡°Thisa€| Could it bea€| A Spirit Stone!¡±


    If the previous items had only made Chen Mobai excited, then these two jade-white stones made him completely lose his composure.


    One had to know that this thing was as priceless as the gold from the previous civilization on Planet Earth.


    However, at the same time, due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, all the Spirit Stone mines had long been explored. Apart from the war, all the Spirit Stone mines were not allowed to be mined.


    Even so, according to the latest financial report from the immortal sect, the Spirit Stone reserves on the entire Planet Earth were already in danger.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that a genius had appeared in the immortal sect 2,000 years ago and invented a strange technique that could transform dry Spirit Stones into 80% of their freshly mined and unused state by infusing them with spiritual energy, the immortal sect¡¯s Karma Points system would have completely collapsed because there weren¡¯t enough Spirit Stones to exchange for.


    However, even so, the immortal sect only allowed cultivators to go to the bank to exchange their Karma Points for Spirit Stones during the war.


    Ten thousand Karma Points could be exchanged for an inferior-grade Spirit Stone.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Chen Mobai¡¯s parents worked hard throughout the year, but in the end, they only earned about 50,000 Karma Points.


    Meanwhile, the two Spirit Stones in his hand were equivalent to half a year¡¯s income.


    No wonder he had lost his composure.


    It was because Chen Mobai had never touched a Spirit Stone in his life. If it weren¡¯t for the detailed descriptions of Spirit Stone in textbooks and movies, he probably wouldn¡¯t have recognized it.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that this water mansion might no longer be in the territory controlled by the immortal sect.


    Suppressing his trembling hands, he placed the Spirit Stones on his clothes. Then, he took out his phone and took a photo of the first thirty pages of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    Chen Mobai was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to bring these things back when he returned to the city.


    He would take a photo of the book with his phone. At least he could study the knowledge at school when the time came.


    He tied a knot in his clothes and hugged it to his chest. Then, Chen Mobai opened the ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± app on his phone and pressed the Return to City button.


    The silver light flashed for a while. Then, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the bed.


    He looked at the clock on the wall. It was exactly half an hour before class started.


    The heavy feeling on his hands made him even more excited.


    He had brought everything back!


    He opened the clothes and placed them on the floor one by one. After checking them again, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t control the excitement in his heart. He couldn¡¯t help but jump onto the bed and do a somersault.


    Fortunately, when the house was being built, a soundproof restriction had been set up. Otherwise, the noise alone would have awakened his parents.


    After venting his excitement, Chen Mobai opened his cabinet and hid the Spirit Stones, crossbows, short knives, and other items that could easily arouse suspicion into the back.


    Then, he took out his bag that he had not used for a long time and put the gold and books inside.


    Finally, all that was left was the needle case used by the young man in brown.


    Chen Mobai looked hesitant. This thing was undoubtedly a real Dharma artifact, but he did not know its grade.


    He didn¡¯t know how to use it either. Thus, the best way was to sell it online.


    However, on the immortal sect network, the transaction of second-hand artifacts required certification.


    When it came to immortal cultivation items, especially Dharma artifacts, more than 80 percent of them were secondhand goods.


    In order to ensure the order of the Dharma artifact trading market, the immortal sect issued certificates to cultivators who passed the Dharma Artifact Appraisal Assessment. They stipulated that before every Dharma artifact was traded, a treasure appraiser had to issue a confirmation letter.


    For every deal, the treasure appraiser had to re-evaluate the Dharma artifact, determine its depletion, and the number of years it could be used for.


    Of course, the official rules were one thing. The actual deal was another.


    This was especially true for Rank-1 Dharma artifacts. Some low-grade Dharma artifacts were not valuable enough to warrant hiring a treasure appraiser. Therefore, there were still some products that lacked certification circulating in the market.


    However, if an artifact wanted to be traded and sold for a good price, apprisal was an indispensable step.


    In particular, Dharma artifacts of Rank-2 and above were extremely valuable. Basically, only after a treasure appraiser took a look at them would cultivators dare to buy them.


    It was also because of this that the profession of ¡°treasure appraiser¡± had the most candidates among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.


    After buying the three Green Arrow Talismans, Chen Mobai was already poor. He did not have any extra Karma Points to hire a treasure appraiser with a qualification certificate. Therefore, he could only put this needle box aside for now. He would deal with it when he had money, or he could use it himself after fumbling around.


    However, even so, Chen Mobai still put the needle box in his bag and took it to school.


    This was the first real Dharma artifact he had in his life.


    Carrying his bag stuffed with wealth, Chen Mobai went downstairs and threw the fish into the sink. Then, he heated up two pieces of cornbread for breakfast and went straight to school.


    It happened to be the array formation teacher¡¯s turn to teach today.


    The teacher¡¯s surname was Chan. She was a young intern teacher. It was said that she was a cultivator from Danzhu College.


    Although this teacher¡¯s qualifications were the lowest in the entire Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect , Chen Mobai felt that her teaching level was the best¡­ One of the best, that was.


    If not for the fact that there was a Foundation Establishment Realm principal teaching in the school, Chen Mobai would not have called her ¡°one of the best¡±.


    It was probably because she was young and her thoughts were similar to those of the students. At least, every time she explained the array formations, she would explain the complex knowledge points simply, and her examples would be vivid.


    It was also because of this that even though Chen Mobai did not typically pay much attention to array formations, he could basically remember everything that Teacher Chan had taught him.


    Thanks to this, Chen Mobai was able to repair the Jade Water Array and reactivate it.


    Teacher Chan was good-looking and had a good figure, but she didn¡¯t smile much. She was rather. serious when teaching. Otherwise, she would be more popular.


    However, there were basically no ugly cultivators.


    After all, after cultivating for generations, their bodies had already evolved to the point of perfection. It was just that things like Spiritual Roots were arranged by the heavens and relied purely on luck. There was no way around it. However, getting a beautiful appearance would only delay a few years of Qi Refinement.


    There were even some cultivators who would deliberately go to the hospital for plastic surgery to prove their firm Dao Heart. They would make their faces extremely ugly to show that they had no other thoughts other than the Dao.


    For example, Chen Mobai had an uncle from the same family. When he was young, he was extremely handsome. When he was setting up a stall on the street, he accidentally appeared in a video that was posted online. He became an internet celebrity overnight.


    However, his cultivation heart was firm. In the face of countless film companies that came knocking on his door, he went straight to the hospital to make his face look plain and ordinary.


    Although his Spiritual Root aptitude was ordinary, he had also entered the Spiritual Pivot Academy, which was one of the 120 colleges. Now, he buried his head in the mountains every day and excavated the ruins of ancient cultivators for conservation research.


    The morning¡¯s array formation lesson passed quickly while Chen Mobai was focused on reading ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    After class, he used the same trick again. He pretended to be a step behind and entered Teacher Chan¡¯s office.


    He used the same excuse that his parents had hired a private tutor to improve his college entrance examination results. He had some after-school homework regarding the repair of array formations that he had to complete alone. However, he was really muddle-headed and could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Thus, he could only come over to consult his teacher.


    However, Chan Si was different from Old Ding. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words and taking the draft paper that Chen Mobai had written the grade of the Jade Water Array on, she frowned slightly.


    ¡°With your strength, would this private tutor dare to leave you with homework for a Rank-2 array formation?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of restoring the array formation after repairing it. In fact, my private teacher has already taught me the entire array formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to explain.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Chan Si glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, but she did not say anything. She picked up his fountain pen and prepared to answer all the questions on the draft paper to show her strength as a teacher.


    However, just as she finished looking at her completed answers, she realized that with her knowledge reserves, she actually did not know where to start.


    ¡°Eh, why is the array formation taught by your private tutor so different from the mainstream teachings of the immortal sect? It¡¯s almost two different systems.¡±

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Ah, what difference does that make? Aren¡¯t they all the same?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s knowledge of array formations was only limited to what he learned in class. As for the Jade Water Array, he only felt that it was slightly more profound than what was usually explained in class. There was no fundamental difference.


    Why did Chan Si say that they were two different systems?


    ¡°On Planet Earth, the cultivation resources have already been nationalized. All the spiritual veins in the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands have been condensed into one by the Soul Formation Patriarchs with a supreme Dharma treasure.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, on Planet Earth, we basically won¡¯t study array formations that require the array flags to be placed into a spiritual vein. However, this knowledge is the foundation of array formations, so as array formation teachers, we will explain it in high school classes.¡±


    ¡°However, in reality, array formations above Level-2 that can only be placed after extracting the power of a spiritual vein have already become the dust of history. The array formations supported by the immortal sect and guided by the various Dao Colleges borrow the power of natural phenomena and the sun, moon, and stars.¡±


    After Chan Si finished speaking, Chen Mobai understood that a formation like the Jade Water Array that needed to be rooted in a water spiritual vein was extremely rare in the entire immortal sect.


    It was not that the array formation was difficult, but that it was very difficult to obtain the permission of the immortal sect¡¯s Department of Land and Natural Resources to allow one to extract the power of the spiritual veins in the territory of the immortal sect and set up the array formation.


    ¡°Perhaps the private trainer my mother invited is a cultivator who has participated in developing the sea, so he¡¯s more obsessed with array formations that require water veins.¡±


    Chen Mobai forcefully explained himself. Chan Si looked at him suspiciously, but did not probe further.


    ¡°Give me your phone number.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Chan Si to suddenly ask him for his number. He was a little stunned.


    ¡°I only know a little about array formations. I only filled in the gaps in my foundation after teaching in your school for the past few years. This Jade Water Array is a little beyond my ability. I need to go back and ask for guidance. Coincidentally, a senior professor in array formations came to Danzhu College for an exchange. I¡¯ll go back and ask them. Give me your phone number and we¡¯ll add each other as friends. After that, I¡¯ll immediately forward the answer to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Chan Si to be so humble. She was clearly a teacher who taught array formations, but she actually said that she only knew a little.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Chan.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone and added Chan Si as a friend.


    Just as he was about to leave, he felt a little embarrassed after thinking about it. Thus, he scanned and converted the 30 pages of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡± that he had saved on his phone before sending it to Chan Si, saying that it was a reference sent to him by his private teacher.


    ¡°Yes, with these, I should be able to give you an answer in two days. After all, the Dao of array formations is the same.¡±


    When Chan Si saw the document sent by Chen Mobai, her eyes immediately lit up. She took out her paper and pen and began to calculate the operation of the simulated Jade Water Array, as if she planned to see if she could deduce all the mysteries of the array with her own ability.


    Seeing how immersed she was, Chen Mobai did not dare to disturb her. He retreated and closed the door for her.


    He had wanted to give Chan Si the original copy of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±, but when he thought that the origin of this thing might be outside the territory of the immortal sect and that it was related to evidence that he might be a murderer, he decided to be careful.


    Therefore, after much consideration, he thought that after he returned, he would scan the entire book word by word into a document and eliminate all traces of possible exposure before sending it to Chan Si.


    After leaving the office, Chen Mobai planned to go straight home.


    Now that he had a middle-grade Rank-2 vein heritage treasure land, he looked down on the school¡¯s Rank-1 spiritual energy cultivation room.


    However, on second thought, it was better not to be so conspicuous.


    The Fifth High School was a national school. The students who entered here basically came from ordinary families. Even geniuses like Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan, who were already at the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, cherished the two hours of free time every afternoon.


    It was not that no one had given up their time to use the cultivation room in school. There were three students who were already at Qi Refinement Level-8. The peak Rank-1 spiritual energy was already a little insufficient for them. Their parents helped rent an inferior-grade Rank-2 single cultivation room outside. Thus, they left the school directly after class in the morning.


    Therefore, if Chen Mobai did not enter and use the cultivation rooms in the school, he would definitely attract attention after others knew about this.


    Qi Refinement Realm cultivators could not cultivate for more than eight hours a day. Otherwise, their meridians and dantian would not be able to withstand it. Chen Mobai did not intend to waste his time here.


    Therefore, in the cultivation room of the school, he took out the Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual that the brown-robed youth had dropped and flipped through it.


    It was a thin book with only 12 pages.


    It was filled with a very long introduction on the origin of the Flying Needle Sect. The founder was a disciple of the Flying Sand Sect in the Ten Directions Hall. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he left the sect because he had no hope of reaching the Core Formation Realm.


    The last two or three pages were filled with stories about how the founder of the Flying Needle Sect established a 300-year foundation and shocked the world after coming to the Eastern Wastelands.


    After that, rules that prohibited betraying one¡¯s master and committing crimes were established in all major sects.


    These were all useless to Chen Mobai. Only the page about the benefits provided by the sect allowed him to roughly understand the origin of the Spirit Stones.


    After joining the Flying Needle Sect, apart from fulfilling the responsibilities in the sect, they would naturally be given Spirit Stones every year.


    Early-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive five Spirit Stones a year, while mid-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive ten Spirit Stones, and late-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive 20 Spirit Stones.


    This brown-robed youth was at Qi Refinement Level-6 and was already at the peak of the mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm. How could ten Spirit Stones be enough for him to cultivate? He must have conspired with the old man to open this water mansion to earn a sum of money quickly.


    However, he did not expect that he would be plotted against and killed by the old man in the water mansion as soon as he left the sect.


    The last page was filled with the brown-clad youth¡¯s signature and the stamp of the Flying Needle Sect.


    ¡°This sect manual was issued for printing in the First Yuan Era, Year 6478.¡±


    The First Yuan Era?


    This should be the local calendar of the Eastern Wastelands!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai already had a vague answer to where the water mansion was.


    There should be a lot of Spirit Stones in this place called the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he was successful in his cultivation in the future, he had to leave the water mansion and go to the mainland to take a look.


    After reading ¡°Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual¡±, Chen Mobai took out the needle case and gently opened it. He wanted to try refining it.


    A total of twelve khaki-colored flying needles were neatly lined up. He injected his spiritual power into them, and they rose one by one. In the end, he used all his strength, and a total of ten flying needles combined with his spiritual power and slowly rose into the sky.


    It seemed that he could control all the flying needles at Qi Refinement Level-6.


    Chen Mobai thought to himself. He was at Qi Refinement Level-5 and could control ten of them. If he completely refined them, this would be suitable for him to use.


    However, he had never used a Dharma artifact before after all. After only three minutes, he realized that most of his spiritual power had been exhausted. He lost control of all ten flying needles, which fell to the ground.


    ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that when he used the flying needles, he always fired them in threes.¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled the scene of the brown-robed youth casting the spell and realized that he had been ridiculously wrong. Even if he could raise all 12 flying needles at Qi Refinement Level-6, he would probably need to be at least at Qi Refinement Level-7 to be able to use them as he pleased.


    After he meditated to recover his spiritual power, he tried to control three flying needles again. Although he extended the time to 15 minutes, the long khaki needles that flew were extremely stiff and did not listen to him.


    If only there was a matching refinement technique!

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After fumbling with the use of the needle case for a while, Chen Mobai finally waited for the two hours to end.


    There was no need for the Soul Suppressing Spell to sound. He opened the door and walked out.


    Only the last unlucky ones remained outside the door.


    Chen Mobai did not see any familiar classmates, so he did not have to greet them. He picked up his bag and left the school.


    He did not go home immediately. Instead, he used his student card to take public transport to a large and comprehensive raw materials market in the east of the city.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother worked in the talisman factory. He had been brought there to play for a few years when he was young and was very familiar with the procedures of this small factory.


    The boss was a Rank-2 talisman master who ran a talisman store in the city. In order to save money, he opened a talisman accessories factory. The large talisman paper that Chen Mobai cut was bought by his mother at an internal discount.


    Although the talisman factory was not large, it had everything. It could produce ink, paper, and inkstones. However, gold powder, a material rarely used in talisman drawing, was purchased from external sources.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, the shop that supplied gold powder to the talisman accessories factory was here.


    The memories of cultivators were basically very good. Chen Mobai asked three people and accurately found the Wuji Gold Shop in the corner of the trading market.


    ¡°Hello, customer. What can I do for you?¡±


    As he walked through the door, a young cultivator behind the counter with a book in his hands immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°Does your shop buy gold?¡±


    Chen Mobai went straight to the point. Before he came, he had already checked the latest price of gold announced on the website of the immortal sect. Since he was here to sell gold, he planned to accept it even if he had to suffer a loss.


    However, the young cultivator did not offer a lower price. After taking the gold, he placed it on a specialized artifact to test its parameters. Then, he gave a purchase price of 843 Karma Points according to the market price.


    ¡°The quality of your gold is alright. It seems that a cultivator has refined it with spiritual power. Let¡¯s round the price up to 850 Karma Points.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt that this cultivator was easy to deal with. Thus, he immediately nodded.


    After the transaction, Chen Mobai suppressed his excitement when he saw the additional 850 Karma Points in his account. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the book that the young cultivator had placed on the counter.


    [Predicted Questions for the Rank-2 Treasure Appraiser Examination]


    ¡°Could the boss be a treasure appraiser?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously. As everyone knew, the certification and qualification examinations of the immortal sect progressed level by level. Since the boss was looking at the contents of the Rank-2 Treasure Appraiser Examination, he must have passed the Rank-1 Examination.


    ¡°The questions the year before were relatively simple. I barely passed.¡±


    The young cultivator spoke modestly before handing over a business card.


    [Wu Wan]


    [Wuji Gold Shop Manager]


    [Immortal Sect-Certified Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser]


    After reading the business card, Chen Mobai was filled with respect.


    In the immortal sect, most of the certificates for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation were issued by the officials only after strict selection and assessment.


    A Rank-1 treasure appraiser meant that they had already grasped most of the knowledge about appraising artifacts below Rank-1. Only then were they allowed to register for the certification examination.


    This young-looking boss in front of him could already issue an certification for all Rank-1 Dharma artifacts. Moreover, the results of the certification would be recognized by all the trading markets.


    ¡°Master Wu, I happen to have a Dharma artifact that my ancestors obtained during the war. I discovered it during the winter break when I was cleaning the old residence. Due to the passage of time, my family doesn¡¯t have much of an impression of it. Can you help me appraise it?¡±


    Then, Chen Mobai took out the needle case from his bag. Seeing this, Wu Wan¡¯s smile instantly turned serious. He first took a pair of light and disposable gloves from his cabinet and put them on before solemnly taking the needle case.


    ¡°Customer, would you like to conduct a preliminary appraisal or an in-depth appraisal of your Dharma artifact?¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s words confused Chen Mobai. Shouldn¡¯t appraisal be done in one go?


    After knowing that he was purely an amateur, Wu Wan explained to him.


    It turned out that the appraisal of Dharma artifacts was divided into three levels.


    The first level was to look and determine the grade, materials, and refinement method of the artifact.


    The second level required the use of professional instruments to determine how long the artifact could still be used and if there were any hidden flaws.


    As for the third and final level, it tested the ability of the treasure appraiser the most. They had to create or deduce a technique that could perfectly unleash the power of the Dharma artifact that had been brought for an appraisal, while reflecting the refinement technique of the Dharma artifact.


    The fees naturally increased across the three stages of appraisal.


    ¡°However, for ordinary artifact appraisal, especially for Rank-1 Dharma artifacts, only the first level of appraisal is needed.¡±


    After Wu Wan explained, Chen Mobai finally understood what was going on.


    The price of a Rank-1 Dharma artifact was limited, but the market was the largest and the profits were meager. Other than true premium items, treasure appraisers would basically only conduct the first level of appraisal. Moreover, many shops needed a certificate from a treasure appraiser for the sole purpose of selling the items. Thus, people would not spend a lot of money to appraise such items.


    Chen Mobai asked about the price. As Wu Wan was a new treasure appraiser, he did not have many achievements and did not have enough points. Thus, his fees were relatively low.


    ¡°This artifact of yours is a middle-grade Rank-1 artifact. I¡¯ll charge you 200 Karma Points.¡±


    After touching it, Wu Wan had a rough idea of the grade of the needle case and gave Chen Mobai a price that made his heart ache.


    That was enough to buy six Green Arrow Talismans.


    However, when he thought of the image of him controlling the flying needles and the danger of the Eastern Wastelands where the water mansion was located, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and agreed.


    After the price was agreed on, Wu Wan took the needle case and placed it on a workbench in the corner of the shop. Then, he began the appraisal with his professional knowledge.


    He first measured the strength of the spiritual power in the needle case and confirmed its grade.


    ¡°The refinement method is a little unorthodox, but based on the overall spiritual power fluctuations and materials, it can¡¯t be wrong to determine it as a middle-grade Rank-1 Dharma artifact.¡±


    Wu Wan took out another piece of A4-sized immortal sect standard certification paper. Then, he filled in the ¡°Grade¡± and ¡°Material¡± blanks with his judgment.


    ¡°The needle case was chiseled out of a whole block of magnetite. If you want to know the exact type of the magnet and its place of origin, a second level of appraisal is required.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. There was no need.


    ¡°The flying needles should be made of a mixture of several metals that are very sensitive to magnetic reactions. Even if you want to perform a second level of appraisal, I can¡¯t do anything about it because I need the help of professional instruments.¡±


    ¡°This Dharma artifact is quite ingenious. It doesn¡¯t require much spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°The key to control and manage the flying needles is this needle box. As long as you can skillfully control the magnetic force, you can easily control the flying needles.¡±


    Wu Wan was indeed a professional treasure appraiser. He did not inject any spiritual power into it. He only relied on his knowledge to explain most of the refining methods and tricks of using this needle case.


    When Chen Mobai thought about how he had completely overlooked this needle case in the cultivation room at school and only used it as a storage device. He even kept infusing spiritual power into the flying needle. As a result, he couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed.


    No wonder he only controlled it for three minutes before his spiritual power was exhausted. He thought that it was because his cultivation level was insufficient.


    It turned out that he used the wrong method. It was no wonder he only achieved half of the results with twice the effort.

 Chapter 15

    ¡°Customer, if the information is correct, I¡¯m going to add my practitioner¡¯s seal.¡±


    In the shop, after passing the certificate with the information about the owner of the Dharma artifact to Chen Mobai for confirmation, Wu Wan solemnly opened a safe and took out a red seal. It did not need to be inked and he simply pressed it on the certificate. Then, the bright red and oval seal of a Rank-1 treasure appraiser appeared on it.


    The innermost part of the seal contained the words ¡°Wu Wan¡± in calligraphy script. The upper semicircle was made of the words ¡°Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser¡±, while the bottom semicircle contained a series of numbers.


    ¡°This string of numbers if a random anti-counterfeiting code generated every time I affix the seal. After I take a photo of this certificate and register it on the immortal sect network, anyone who enters this string of numbers will see this certificate.¡±


    After Chen Mobai took the needle case and the certificate, he first used his phone to check, but found that the page that popped up was blank. He could not help but look puzzled.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t it been uploaded?¡±


    Wu Wan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, but then he used his account to log into the treasure appraiser¡¯s electronic archive on the immortal sect network and uploaded the certificate for the needle case.


    Chen Mobai tried again and the relevant page finally appeared.


    ¡°Master Wu, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    After paying 200 Karma Points in satisfaction, Chen Mobai took the needle case.


    ¡°Little Chen, if you want to sell this Dharma artifact, you can display it in my shop. It can also be considered as helping me accumulate some points. If you agree, not only can I return your Karma Points, but I can also help you complete deducing the sacrificial technique for this Dharma artifact for free.¡±


    When Wu Wan was filling in the information about the owner of the Dharma artifact just now, Wu Wan learned Chen Mobai¡¯s name. He knew that Chen Mobai was still a student and was only 18 years old who did not have much social experience. Thus, Wu Wan suddenly had an idea.


    Due to the lack of resources in the immortal sect, almost everyone would be troubled by spiritual energy and resources after stepping onto the path of cultivation. Many of them would rely on the immortal sect¡¯s network to open their own online shops and earn money.


    Although Wu Wan had obtained a Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser certificate and was considered famous among Qi Refinement cultivators, he was still working hard to obtain the resources needed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Apart from this family shop, he also refined weapons by himself on typical days.


    After all, a treasure appraiser could not make a fortune. Moreover, every cultivator who learned about appraisal definitely wanted to become a refiner at the beginning.


    As for the individual shops on the immortal sect network, they relied on the Karma Points circulated during trades to accumulate points. The more points they had, the more official mystic techniques, Spirit Pills, and Dharma artifacts they could exchange for.


    The immortal sect controlled Planet Earth and followed the order of the previous civilization. Although the Soul Formation Patriarchs suppressed the world, there were still several economic crises.


    The main reason was that there were not enough Spirit Stones. During the war, as soon as the cultivators had Karma Points in their accounts, they would immediately go to the bank to exchange them for Spirit Stones. Even if they could not use them all, they still saved them for future generations.


    In this way, no matter how many Spirit Stones the National Bank had, it would not be able to withstand the plundering of hundreds of millions of cultivators.


    Thus, the economic crisis came.


    Although the immortal sect had issued laws one after another that prohibited the exchange of Spirit Stones, raised the exchange price, and even thought of a secret technique to replenish dried-up Soul Formation with spiritual energy, even the Soul Formation Patriarchs with extraordinary power could not eliminate the rules of the market.


    However, the Three Palaces and Four Divisions under the immortal sect had gathered countless geniuses on Planet Earth for thousands of years. There were countless intelligent people.


    A thousand years ago, someone suggested that the 84,000 Daoist books stored in the National Library of the immortal sect could be exchanged for by all cultivators with points. Furthermore, these points could only be obtained by spending Karma Points on the market of the Immortal Sect.


    For example, Chen Mobai had bought three Green Arrow Talismans online and spent 105 Karma Points. As a result, 105 points were added to his personal household register.


    As soon as this policy was announced, the originally stagnant market economy of the immortal sects instantly became popular. In just ten years, 90% of the Spirit Stones stored by the people returned to the National Bank and were replaced by the Karma Points on everyone¡¯s accounts.


    One could also obtain points through offline transactions, but both parties had to pay taxes to the Tax Bureau of the immortal sect.


    For example, if Chen Mobai wanted to convert the 200 Karma Points of appraisal fees he had paid to Wu Wan into points, he had to pay the immortal sect 20% in consumption taxes. In fact, this 20% represented 10% of taxes from each party. However, the person who received money would definitely be unwilling to do such a thing. Unless Chen Mobai offered another 20 Karma Points to Wu Wan, Wu Wan would not agree to go to the Tax Bureau with Chen Mobai.


    After all, one could only obtain points through consumption. One would not receive points for collecting money.


    Therefore, in the markets of the immortal sect, traders would confirm if the consumers needed points before the trade. If they did, this tax would be added to the total price in advance.


    It was precisely because of this that the immortal sect did not insist on taxes. It was completely voluntary.


    However, Chen Mobai was clearly not that kind of person.


    After all, he didn¡¯t need points yet.


    ¡°Master Wu, what do you mean? I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a little strange. One would only receive points if they spent money. Even if he sold this Dharma artifact in Wu Wan¡¯s shop, it would have nothing to do with him, right?


    ¡°I¡¯m a treasure appraiser. It¡¯s normal for me to earn money on my own. If you sell this artifact to me and I use my professional knowledge to complete the sacrificial technique of the needle case, its price will naturally double. Am I right?¡±


    After Wu Wan finished speaking with a smile, Chen Mobai shivered and felt a chill down his spine.


    ¡°Master Wu, that would be a fictitious transaction. It¡¯s illegal.¡±


    Fictitious transactions were common. Although they had to pay taxes to the immortal sects, they could obtain two transactions¡¯ worth of points from one Dharma artifact.


    In the official flagship store on the immortal sect¡¯s website, spiritual pills and elixirs that could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm would be released every once in a while to be auctioned. They also had to be exchanged with points.


    Wu Wan had already been planning for this for a long time.


    However, this behavior was the same as tax evasion in the previous mechanical civilization on Planet Earth. After being caught, the immortal sect would punish cultivators until they were bankrupt.


    ¡°Many people do. The immortal sect turns a blind eye to this for the sake of economic circulation. If the taxes are low at the end of the year and the higher-ups aren¡¯t satisfied, they¡¯ll only attack those rich people at the top. You can rest assured.¡±


    ¡°If you agree, I guarantee that this needle case of yours can be sold for more than 80,000 Karma Points.¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai was a little hesitant, Wu Wan increased the weight of the matter. Although he looked young, he was already 45 years old. If he didn¡¯t try to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, his chances of success would become smaller and smaller.


    Next month, the flagship store of the immortal sect would release a batch of Meridian Protection Pills, Spirit Ascension Powder, and Qi Condensation Liquid. They were all spiritual herbs that increased the chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Wu Wan was still short of 300,000 points. Otherwise, he would be able to buy one of the items.


    If it were any other time, he would naturally not dare to make up a deal to cheat points. However, now that the Great Dao was right in front of him and he was a little short on points, he wanted to try any opportunity to obtain points.


    What if he was lucky and succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm!


    ¡°This Dharma artifact is a family heirloom. If I want to sell it, I¡¯ll have to ask the elders in the family.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a good student, so he tactfully refused.


    Wu Wan did not say anything else and only looked regretful. In any case, he just wanted to see if he could deceive Chen Mobai since he was young.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°People are vicious.¡±


    After walking out of the Wuji Gold Shop, Chen Mobai sighed inwardly.


    It was no wonder that many cultivators would rather go to large branded shops at a higher price. At the very least, they would not be pulled onto the illegal path just because the owner saw a customer.


    Although it was common for fictitious transactions to be carried out in exchange for points, it was only done between acquaintances. It meant that both parties had information that could be used against the other party. However, Chen Mobai and Wu Wan had only done business once. Thus, there was not even a little bit of trust between them.


    Chen Mobai was still young. According to his current cultivation progress and the Rank-2 spiritual land at the water mansion, he would definitely be able to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had not reached the stage of taking risks yet.


    After this transaction, Chen Mobai, who had originally wanted to shop around, was no longer in the mood.


    After taking public transport home, since he had a huge sum of money, he decided to treat himself. He didn¡¯t cut any more talismans or even cook anymore. Instead, he ordered spicy hot pot.


    While waiting for the delivery, Chen Mobai scanned the entire ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡± and sent it to Teacher Chan. Then, he took out the book on the Black Water Technique and started reading.


    This was a typical water-attribute Qi Refinement technique. There were a total of nine levels, and it could be cultivated until one achieved pefection in the Qi Refinement Realm. Moreover, three spells recorded were also recorded in the book.


    They were the Water Control Spell, the Water Essence Barrier, and the Ice Spell.


    The three spells advanced step by step. The Water Control Spell was the simplest, but it took a lot of time to master.


    After mastering the Water Control Spell, one could control refined spiritual water and transform it into a water elemental barrier to protect themselves. It was also a spell that replaced defensive Dharma artifacts and was more popular among low-leveled cultivators.


    Meanwhile, the final spell, the Ice Spell, was the most difficult.


    According to the description in ¡°Black Water Technique¡±, he had to first condense his spiritual power into a breath of ice. Then, he had to combine it with the Water Control Spell to freeze the refined spiritual water and transform it into any form he wanted, be it for attack or defense.


    Although this cultivation technique was simple, it had already formed its own system. Moreover, when practicing the three spells, it could also promote improvement in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. If not for the fact that my Spiritual Root only has 23 water attribute points, I would have immediately changed my cultivation.¡±


    Several large hospitals in the immortal sect had joined forces to do experiments. If a Spiritual Root exceeded 33 attribute points in an attribute, the efficiency of cultivating the Five Elements Technique would be inferior to that single-attribute Qi refinement technique.


    As for people like Chen Mobai, whose Spiritual Root was almost classified as a pseudo-Spiritual Root, be it his cultivation progress or the efficiency of refining spiritual energy, the Five Elements Techniques was still the most suitable.


    To Chen Mobai, other than being a reference book, the greatest value of the ¡°Black Water Technique¡± book was the three spells recorded in it.


    Although the knowledge in the immortal sect was shared, one had to exchange points for this knowledge.


    Moreover, before exchanging for spells from the immortal sects, they had to swear that they could only cultivate the spells and not teach others.


    Only schools could openly teach spells.


    The Vertical Raising Spell, the Cleaning Spell, the Qi Nurturing Spell that Chen Mobai knew were taught in school. However, most of the students had been instilled with the concept that cultivation was paramount since they were young. The spells that they were passionate about cultivating were also limited to providing convenience in their daily lives.


    After all, Planet Earth was too peaceful. There were many cases of petty theft and tax evasion, but it had been a long time since anyone had killed someone.


    Only when the war was approaching would cultivators begin to cultivate the spells used in combat.


    In peaceful times, the students in school were all focused on cultivating Qi and improving their realms. They wanted to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm as soon as possible and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Just as Chen Mobai was comparing the Water Elemental Barrier with the Water Shield technique Old Ding had given him, the doorbell rang.


    His delivery arrived.


    Chen Mobai entered the kitchen and poured the spicy hot pot into a bowl at home. Just as he was about to scoop a bowl of spiritual rice and start eating, he suddenly saw a fish in the sink that had been gutted but was still a little familiar.


    Eh, wasn¡¯t this the fish he¡¯d brought from the water mansion? He¡¯d left in a hurry this morning and had thrown it in the sink after dealing with his loot.


    Initially, he thought that it would not be a waste to make a bowl of boiled fish when he returned at night. However, after earning a sum from selling gold, Chen Mobai forgot about it.


    His mother must have dealt with the fish before she left.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai looked at the transparent fish meat that contained a faint pinkish-white color. He raised his hand and cut the fish into pieces. Then, he started a fire and poured his spicy hot pot into the pot. He used it as the soup base and poured the fish into the pot.


    The moment the tender and spicy fish entered his mouth, Chen Mobai narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.


    After eating, he didn¡¯t waste any time and teleported directly to the water mansion.


    He first circled around the water mansion and realized that nothing had changed since he left. Only then did he walk under the array flags in peace. He sat on the meditation cushion he had brought and began to refine the dense spiritual energy of the Rank-2 water vein¡­


    The next day.


    During class, Chen Mobai looked at his phone screen with a strange expression.


    He had a habit. Every time he cultivated, he would start a recording on his phone and import it into a software called ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡±. He would compare it with the previous cultivation videos to find the difference between the videos, correct his mistakes, and inherit the advantages.


    As for this ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app, a pop-up had not appeared for half a year. This meant that be it his cultivation time or posture, it was already the most suitable. There was no room for improvement.


    However, this morning, a pop-up window had suddenly appeared.


    [Among the spiritual power cultivated by the user last night, there are two more water attribute points than usual. Please confirm the reason.]


    The Auxiliary Cultivation app displayed the difference, but it did not analyze the reason. This required the user to find the reason themselves and then give feedback.


    Chen Mobai recalled his cultivation yesterday. It was exactly the same as his previous visit to the water mansion. He didn¡¯t even change locations. He had always been cultivating on the mediation cushion.


    Since he couldn¡¯t figure it out, he could only experiment more.


    On this day, Chen Mobai turned on the recording again. After cultivating in the water mansion for an entire night, he had improved in the Five Elements Technique again.


    [Among the spiritual power cultivated by the user last night, there are two more water attribute points than usual. Please confirm the reason.]


    The pop-up appeared again.


    Chen Mobai confirmed that there was definitely something different about him the day before yesterday. The ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app was developed by the Butian Dao College of the four major Dao Colleges. After hundreds of years of adjustment, it was already very perfect.


    The software couldn¡¯t be wrong. So what was wrong with him?


    Lost in thought, Chen Mobai began to recall all his experiences the day before yesterday.


    He had attended classes, sought consultation with his teachers, went to the cultivation room to read and test the needle case, and sold gold¡­


    Thinking of the Wuji Gold Shop, Chen Mobai frowned slightly. However, he confirmed that he had never had physical contact with Wu Wan. It was just a conversation and a business deal.


    His memory went back again. He ordered takeout, ate, returned to the water mansion to cultivate, and returned to class!


    A complete cycle appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind. He thought about how different he was from usual that day, and how that could affect the adaptive spiritual power cultivated by the Five Elements Technique. Then, the most likely possibility was that there was a difference in the attribute points of his Spiritual Root.


    Was it the takeout!?


    Chen Mobai thought of this thing that he had eaten. It might have affected his Spiritual Root, but it shouldn¡¯t be the case. He had secretly ordered takeout several times in the past, but he had never seen a pop-up from the Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    Could it be¡­ that there was something wrong with that fish?

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After class.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t fall any further behind. Relying on the fact that his realm had been consolidated, he increased his speed and snatched the first batch of cultivation rooms.


    He had to go to the water mansion as soon as possible to verify if it was because of that fish that caused ripples in his peaceful cultivation.


    He didn¡¯t waste the two hours he had spent in the cultivation room. He seriously read the email that Chan Si had sent him.


    With the complete content of the ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±, his array formation teacher did not disappoint him. After Chan Si understood the array thoroughly, she made a very detailed disassembly of the array formation. She started from the five basic array formations of this Rank-2 array formation, from gathering energy and concealment, to its complexity and water control¡­


    As Chen Mobai had personally experienced the Jade Water Array, it was very easy for him to understand the content.


    He compared his exploration and experience of the array flags in the past two days to the extremely detailed explanation in the course materials. Then, he instantly had a preliminary understanding of this Rank-2 array formation.


    Two hours passed very quickly.


    The alarm rang, waking Chen Mobai, who was immersed in his studies.


    ¡°Teacher Chan can speak very beautifully.¡±


    As he muttered to himself, Chen Mobai thought of Chan Si¡¯s typically boring lecture in class. He did not realize that it was because he was not interested in what was taught in class.


    People were like that. Even monks had to stay up all night to find out what interested them, let alone cultivators.


    After getting up and leaving the cultivation room, Chen Mobai stretched and looked around. Suddenly, he froze on the spot.


    Somehow, he was extremely lucky.


    Yan Bingxuan came out of the cultivation room on the left.


    After not seeing her for a few days, the class belle¡¯s temperament seemed to have become even colder. She must have officially cultivated the ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡± and started to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice-attribute Spiritual Root.


    Meanwhile, the person in the cultivation room on Chen Mobai¡¯s right was the other genius in their class, Song Zheng.


    He probably didn¡¯t manage to join the first batch of students to use the Rank-2 cultivation rooms today, so he came to the Rank-1 cultivation rooms to deal with his cultivation for now.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in the same social circle as the two of them, he didn¡¯t know how to greet them.


    After a moment of awkward silence, it was Song Zheng who spoke first.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan, I still think that your choice is wrong. With your aptitude, if you focus on improving your realm and studies during this semester, you can at least take the entrance examination of the four Dao Colleges. You might even be able to pass the competitive examination and soar to fame.¡±


    However, Song Zheng simply ignored Chen Mobai and spoke to Yan Bingxuan calmly.


    ¡°How can you speak of ice to summertime bugs!¡±


    In response, the cold beauty Yan Bingxuan said something that made Song Zheng frown. As a result, he almost couldn¡¯t help but get angry.


    ¡°I obtained Teacher Ding¡¯s inheritance and also have a method to transform my Spiritual Root physique into a Three-Yang Body. However, I feel that with my limits, I shouldn¡¯t go to the Pure Yang Academy. The four Dao Colleges are the only places I should go to.¡±


    Song Zheng¡¯s words silenced Chen Mobai.


    This man was so confident.


    If Chen Mobai could get into the Pure Yang Academy, one of the top ten schools, his mother would visit their neighbors every day and brag about this matter for the rest of her life.


    Song Zheng was so confident that his eyes were about to shine. When faced with such a person, the beauty Yan Bingxuan, who was a woman of few words, said an idiom.


    ¡°You¡¯re like a frog in a well!¡±


    Song Zheng could no longer control his anger.


    Chen Mobai looked at the time and didn¡¯t greet the two of them, who ignored him. Instead, he walked out from between the two of them.


    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet the two of them are going to the stadium to sort it out.¡±


    However, before Chen Mobai could leave, he was stopped by his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng. Soon, a group of classmates gathered around the two of them. Everyone looked at Song Zheng, who was clenching his fists and requesting a spell exchange from Yan Bingxuan.


    In school, fighting was naturally not allowed.


    However, the exchange of Dharma spells was encouraged.


    Furthermore, between top students, they often used this as an excuse to prove that they were the strongest.


    ¡°I have something to do today, so I¡¯ll leave. Tell me the results of their fight later.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai also wanted to see the exchange between the only two top late-stage Qi Refinement Realm students in the class, after thinking about his arrangements tonight, he decided not to waste his precious time watching them.


    Meanwhile, Lu Hongsheng¡¯s attention was completely focused on the two top students. Thus, he responded nonchalantly. By the time he reacted, Chen Mobai had already disappeared.


    ¡°The lad¡¯s been a bit odd lately.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s the fastest to run after cultivating.¡±


    ¡°Could he be dating someone?¡±


    The words of the two beauties who sat at the front made Lu Hongsheng shudder suddenly. He realized that this might actually be the case.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Beauty Yan has agreed.¡±


    However, before they could investigate further, Yan Bingxuan had already turned around and walked towards the stadium with a sneer.


    In order to avoid destroying the venue, the exchange of Dharma spells had to be carried out in a place where the school had set up restrictions.


    This place was the stadium.


    After Chen Mobai ran out of the school, he immediately put such a small matter to the back of his mind.


    On the way home, he saw a pharmacy and went inside.


    The pharmacy wasn¡¯t large, but it was relatively well stocked. Strangely, there was no one behind the counter.


    Chen Mobai could only walk around and look for what he wanted to buy.


    ¡°Hello, is anyone there?¡±


    However, after searching around, he did not find the test paper that could easily measure his spiritual power. Thus, Chen Mobai shouted in the direction of the back door.


    ¡°Coming!¡±


    There was a sharp response. Then, the back door was pulled open. A young girl in white clothes and white pants, with her hair tied up and wearing a white hat and mask, walked over. Although only half her face could be seen, their eyes met and Chen Mobai was drawn to her dark, bright eyes that were charming and intelligent.


    Chen Mobai had never seen such a clear and pure gaze. It was as pure and flawless as her clothes.


    ¡°Hello, customer. May I help you?¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s the spiritual power test paper? I couldn¡¯t find it.¡±


    ¡°Just a minute. This item is in the cabinets. I¡¯ll take it out for you.¡±


    The white-clothed girl¡¯s eyebrows were also extremely delicate. Her skin was snow-white, and she was wearing a mask that increased how attractive she was. Chen Mobai could not help but take a few more glances at her when he spoke.


    After the exchange, the white-clothed girl turned around and walked towards the counter at the door. Her back was slender, but the faint medicinal fragrance wafting from her body made Chen Mobai frown. He raised his finger to cover his nose.


    He had been seriously ill when he was young and had taken medicine for a few years, so he did not like the smell of medicine very much.


    ¡°How many would you like?¡±


    The girl in white walked over with a box of opened spiritual power test papers. At that moment, she noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s right index finger covering his nose. Her dark and bright eyes froze.


    ¡°Five will do. Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out with his other hand and took five pieces from the box the girl was holding. Then, he quickly walked to the door and scanned the code to pay.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was refining the ¡®Spirit Returning Water¡¯ at the back. My extraction standards weren¡¯t good enough, so the smell of medicine on me was stronger.¡±


    The girl¡¯s words sounded from behind. Chen Mobai turned around and saw that she was standing where she was, not following him. Her eyes were apologetic.


    ¡°Oh, are you an alchemist?¡±


    The immortal sect stipulated that only those who passed the Alchemist Vocation Certification Examination could refine medicine.


    There were many ways to refine pills, but on Planet Earth, the most common way was to refine pills using water.


    This was because fire-based alchemy would dissipate a portion of the spiritual energy in the medicinal herbs, making it a little wasteful. On the other hand, water-based alchemy emphasized on extraction. The utilization rate was high, and the medicinal properties were gentle. Not only were most medicinal liquids effective after consumption or injection, there were basically no residual effects either.


    The ¡°Spirit Returning Water¡± was a Rank-one medicinal liquid that could be taken orally. It could recover the spiritual energy of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°My teacher is an alchemist. I don¡¯t have a certificate yet because I¡¯m not old enough.¡±


    The girl in white responded. Not every cultivator could apply for a certificate for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. In order to screen applicants and reduce the workload every year, the immortal sect had set restrictions on age, profession, and so on.


    For example, a high school student like Chen Mobai did not fulfill the first condition as he was not old enough.


    The girl in white also didn¡¯t qualify for the same reason.


    The only disadvantage of water alchemy was that it took a long time. It was very difficult for an alchemist to keep an eye on it from beginning to end and participate the entire time.


    Therefore, although the immortal sect stipulated that only alchemists could refine medicine, it was tacitly agreed in the industry that apprentices could help deal with some simple supplementary medicines.


    Chen Mobai felt that the young girl in white in front of him should be an intern apothecary.


    He thought of the method to refine spiritual water recorded in the ¡°Black Water Technique¡±. He still didn¡¯t have any clue and wanted to ask for guidance, but it wasn¡¯t appropriate to ask for no reason.


    ¡°Farewell.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai said two words and turned to leave the pharmacy.


    ¡°What a strange person.¡±


    Qing N¨¹ sensed that Chen Mobai had something to ask, but for some reason, he didn¡¯t say it in the end.


    As the young man disappeared around the corner, she shook her head and turned back to the back hall to extract the herbs.


    ¡­


    At the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai pulled out the black array flag somewhat nervously. The huge hemispherical light shield above his head began to fluctuate slightly.


    He immediately injected his spiritual power into the array flags according to the Qi Circulation Spell mentioned in Chan Si¡¯s lesson. Then, he formed a seal with his other hand and made two simple movements.


    Crash!


    Soon, a two-meter-diameter hole appeared in the huge, round, flawless light barrier where the black flag pointed.


    Chen Mobai suppressed the excitement in his heart. After inserting the array flag again, he walked to the entrance of the array formation that he had opened.


    He reached out. With a slight tremble, he extended the range of the light shield and touched the water outside.


    It was cool and felt like silk.


    After playing with the water and confirming that there was no danger outside, Chen Mobai began to lean half his body out.


    As he had never cultivated any waterproof Dharma spells, he could only rely on his deep breathing to hold on.


    However, even so, he saw a little of the scenery beyond the water mansion.


    It was a lake of an unknown size. At least, he couldn¡¯t see the edge of it at first glance. There was a kind of aquatic plant growing at the bottom of the lake that glowed with blue fluorescent light. It stood out in the gloomy environment.


    Among the aquatic plants, there was a green-tailed carp frolicking back and forth.


    Chen Mobai confirmed that it was the kind of fish he had eaten.


    He raised the needle case in his hand and circulated the Five Elements Technique. He injected spiritual power into the needle case, and a golden stream of light shot out.


    Although his usage of this Dharma artifact was still a little stiff, under Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power, the flying needle flew in a straight line. Without using any technique, the flying needle directly pierced through the green carp that could not escape in time.


    Seeing that he had successfully caught the fish, Chen Mobai raised his other hand. Two glass beads were injected with the spiritual power he had cultivated using the Five Elements Techniques. They flew out like two colorful rainbows and caught the green carp that was slowly descending after its death.


    After retrieving the food and flying needles, Chen Mobai pulled out the black flag again and sealed the entrance of the Jade Water Array.


    He first carefully observed the green carp in his hand and discovered that there was a dark green line on its back that resembled a tendon. There were also two long whiskers at the mouth of the fish. It was cold to the touch, as if he was holding an ice cube.


    ¡°Why is this carp similar to the Level-2 protective spiritual beast in the immortal sect, the Green Dragon Carp?¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. The source of the Green Dragon Carp¡¯s bloodline was a green dragon in the deep sea. It was captured by the immortal sect after much difficulty when they explored the sea.


    It was said that after the Green Dragon Carp was cooked with a special method, cultivators could absorb a trace of water dragon qi contained in its flesh and blood. Then, they would experience a random increase of one to five water attribute points in their Spiritual Root.


    However, the Green Dragon Carp of the immortal sect could only be raised by the Kunpeng Dao College. It was regarded as a taboo by the Venerable Nascent Soul. Twenty years ago, this Venerable had even placed the wild Green Dragon Carp on the latest list of protected spiritual beasts of the immortal sect. It was already forbidden for cultivators to kill and cook it.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not resist the temptation and took out the short knife he had obtained from the old man.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, wild Green Dragon Carp were protected spiritual beasts, while bred Green Dragon Carp could be eaten.


    Although this green carp was a little similar to the Green Dragon Carp, there were still some differences. This fish did not have much spiritual energy and was raised outside the water mansion. Thus, it could be considered a bred fish.


    He scaled, disemboweled, gutted, and sliced the fish. Chen Mobai¡¯s movements were very skilled and smooth.


    This short knife was not a Dharma artifact, but it was extremely sharp. He had tried using it to cut gold before. It was as easy as cutting tofu. Thus, it was a little overkill to use it to slice fish.


    This time he intended to eat it cold. He even brought ice and condiments from home.


    However, the fish meat was ice-cold, so he could skip the process of freezing it.


    Chen Mobai even brought a can of carbonated drink. If he had a goblet, the ritual would be complete.


    Unfortunately, he was the only one eating.


    With a tinge of regret, the cold and smooth fish meat entered his mouth. Coupled with the old vinegar that he had bought online from the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, an indescribable feeling of numbness and comfort bloomed in his taste buds.


    When the fish entered his stomach, a cooling aura surged throughout his body, causing Chen Mobai to shiver. Then, his entire body felt comfortable, as if he had taken a cold shower on a hot day. It was satisfying and refreshing.


    After eating, Chen Mobai burped. The first thought that came to his mind was that it was truly a waste to cook that fish.


    Of course, he hadn¡¯t forgotten his business.


    After using the Cleaning Spell to clean up, he sat on the meditation cushion and circulated the Five Elements Technique.


    Before the adapted spiritual power that he had cultivated could return to his dantian, Chen Mobai intercepted a strand of the spiritual power and injected it into the spiritual power test paper that he had just bought.


    This was a simple tool for measuring one¡¯s Spiritual Root, but it was only used by cultivators of the Five Elements Technique.


    Everyone in the immortal sect was a cultivator. Basically, every child was taught Qi Refinement and Immortal Cultivation techniques from a young age. In order to be able to measure Spiritual Roots more simply and quickly, the Imperial Medicine Palace invented this spiritual power test paper.


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power was absorbed by the test paper, it was instantly dyed in five colors. Then, a string of numbers appeared on the paper according to the ratio of the five elements.


    [Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 25, Fire 17, and Earth 10.]


    As expected, there was an increase of two water attribute points.


    Chen Mobai confirmed this point. The next step was to do more experiments.


    He suppressed the fire in his heart and stood up to activate the Jade Water Array again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Streaks of golden light lit up outside the water mansion. Then, the green carps that were eating the aquatic plants inexplicably became Chen Mobai¡¯s food.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In the classroom.


    Chen Mobai sat by the window, looking depressed.


    Previously, he had almost thought that he was going to change his fate. After all, a green carp allowed him to experience an increase of two water attribute points. If he ate dozens of them, wouldn¡¯t he be able to change his Spiritual Root into a water-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root?


    However, he had forgotten something. The ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app had detected that there was a fluctuation in the adaptive spiritual energy that he had cultivated for only one day. It returned to normal the next day.


    Reality was a little harsh.


    The power contained in the green carp could only be maintained for a day.


    That day, he ate eight of them in one go and his water attribute points increased to 39 points. That feeling of cultivation was something Chen Mobai had never experienced before.


    The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was almost twice as much as before. Apart from the increase in the attributes of his Spiritual Root, it was also because he was cultivating above the Rank-2 water vein. With the combination of the two, Chen Mobai almost changed his cultivation technique to the ¡°Black Water Technique¡±.


    Fortunately, he always did things steadily. He waited a day.


    However, on the second day, he was worried in the school¡¯s cultivation room. He used his spiritual power test paper again and realized that his water attribute points had fallen again.


    He refused to believe it. That night, he returned to the water mansion and caught five green carps to eat them as sashimi.


    The water attribute points of his Spiritual Root soared again. Then, after cultivating for a night, the water attribute points fell again.


    However, it was not that there was no good news. It was probably because Chen Mobai had eaten too much that the power of the green carp had subtly strengthened his Spiritual Root.


    After five days of eating crazily, nearly 40 green carps entered his stomach. Chen Mobai¡¯s water attribute points were also rising and falling like the curve of the stock market. In the end, it stabilized at 30 points and could no longer rise.


    Of course, it didn¡¯t fall any further.


    After going back and forth, Chen Mobai experienced a permanent increase of seven water attribute points in his Spiritual Root.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Refinement Level-5]


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique]


    [Skills: Vertical Raising Spell, Cleaning Spell, Spiritual Power Shield, Qi Nurturing Spell, Water Control Spell]


    Opening the personal interface software on his phone, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. In the end, he changed the number of water attribute points from 30 to 23.


    He already had a feeling that it was best not to let anyone else know about the water mansion.


    Although there was no lack of cultivation techniques and medicines in the immortal sect that could increase one¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute points, there were not many that could increase one¡¯s water attribute points so quickly. This was almost 20% to 30% of the effects provided by the Green Dragon Carp from the Kunpeng Dao College.


    Every time a cultivator ate a Green Dragon Carp, it could permanently increase their Spiritual Root attribute points. The Kunpeng Dao College had once used this to nurture a talented water-attribute alchemist, from an ordinary Spiritual Root with 33 water attribute points to a Heaven Spiritual Root with 80 water attribute points. This was widely publicized by the immortal sect. When Chen Mobai was young, this matter was reported on television news every day.


    Although the green carp in the water mansion was not as good as the Green Dragon Carp, he had accumulated a lot of them. They had also permanently increased Chen Mobai¡¯s water attribute points by seven points. Once it was publicized, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.


    After all, the Venerable Nascent Soul greatly treasured the Green Dragon Carp. As a result, no one had been able to eat it in the past 20 years.


    However, Chen Mobai did not dwell on this matter now. He opened his ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and looked at the five halos above his profile picture on the top right corner of the app. He could not help but fall into deep thought.


    Last night, the [Agent] button on the Turtle Treasure app had suddenly lit up. He couldn¡¯t resist his curiosity and clicked on it.


    Then, the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app on his phone changed.


    There were five more halos above his head.


    The resources on Planet Earth were scarce, but the exploration war that occurred every 1,000 years was inevitable. In order to protect their home, there were 36 Heavenly Constellation satellites circling in the sky, forming a super formation.


    These 36 Heavenly Constellation satellites also provided all the networks and communications of the immortal sects. Each satellite was a superbrain, but most of their computing power was used to absorb the spiritual energy of the universe and integrate it into thousands of families for the cultivation of 300 million cultivators.


    It was precisely because of this that in order to avoid the waste of computing power, the extent of permissions that each level of cultivator could use in every application was different.


    For example, Chen Mobai, who was at Qi Refinement Level-5, could only use the most basic functions of the various software on his phone.


    Take the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app as an example.


    If Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, when analyzing his recordings on the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app, he could also apply to watch the scene of Golden Core Perfect One cultivating the Five Elements Technique in the database. By comparing the two, not only could he correct his mistakes in cultivation, but he could also know the most correct way to cultivate the Five Elements Technique and various tricks.


    Furthermore, in the immortal sect, the app permissions were all displayed using visual halos.


    For example, the Qi Refinement Realm was the first level. As a result, a Qi Refinement-Realm cultivator would have one halo above their profile picture.


    Which begged the question.


    These five halos should refer to the fact that he had Level-5 access!


    What Realm did Level-5 correspond to?


    Chen Mobai calculated in his heart and simply gasped in shock.


    He had become a Soul Formation Patriarch.


    There were only two in the entire immortal sect.


    Didn¡¯t this turtle shell agent know how to keep a low profile? It was enough for him to have Level-3 Golden Core permissions. Why did he directly reach Level-5, which was the maximum level?


    Just as Chen Mobai was feeling inexplicably terrified, in an office in the Heaven Mending Dao College, a few cultivators were also anxiously looking at the data suddenly transmitted to them.


    ¡°This¡­ Could it be that the Patriarch has woken up? Is he traveling in his incarnation and playing in the mortal world?¡±


    Suddenly, a user with Level-5 permissions appeared. As the developer of this app, Mr. Shi was a little terrified as he expressed his surprise.


    It had to be known that the two Patriarchs had been in seclusion for more than 300 years, and his app had only been developed 200 years ago.


    Even though the permissions were divided into five levels, in reality, it was only completed up to Level-3.


    This was because Mr. Shi himself was at the Golden Core Realm. There were only a dozen or so Venerable Nascent Souls, who were a realm above him. Furthermore, once they went into seclusion, they would do so for decades. The only things that the Auxiliary Cultivation app could help them with were the cultivation videos of and the guidance from the Soul Formation Patriarchs.


    Before the Soul Formation Patriarchs uploaded their content, the highest realm that the Auxiliary Cultivation app software could help with was the Golden Core Realm.


    Therefore, after the first Level-5 user appeared, Mr. Shi was both excited and terrified.


    ¡°Use the backend information to look at the location. Then, we¡¯ll go to the scene and determine who it is. Maybe a hacker cracked the access to your app.¡±


    As an investor, the big boss was still very calm. The moment he spoke, the other cultivators who were thinking about how to show off in front of the Patriarch calmed down.


    Can¡¯t wait ReadMTL here ¨C> https://readmtl.com/novel/i-have-a-cultivation-world/

 Chapter 20 - Qing Ping

    Chapter 20 Qing Ping


    However, after conducting a check, Mr. Shi simply furrowed his eyebrows.


    ¡°It actually shows that it¡¯s not in the territory of the immortal sect!¡±


    He reported this result to the big boss. The big boss, who had always been happy and not angry, was stunned for a moment. He almost thought that this worker was playing with him.


    ¡°Our authority over the satellites in the sky only allows us to locate the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands. Since we can¡¯t find the address, it can only be outside the Celestial Gate.¡±


    When Mr. Shi finished, the big boss nodded gently.


    ¡°Okay, got it. Keep an eye on this account. Let me know as soon as you hear anything else.¡±


    Before they could be 100% sure that it was a Soul Formation Patriarch, they did not dare to alarm the Venerable Nascent Soul who was in seclusion. They could only do this for now.


    Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.


    Chen Mobai was still worried that he would be locked down by the operator of the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and be questioned by the cultivators in charge of security in the immortal sect.


    He didn¡¯t relax until two days had passed and no one had approached him.


    That night.


    Chen Mobai entered the water mansion again and felt the pure spiritual energy that filled his surroundings. He could not help but nod in satisfaction.


    Thanks to this Rank-2 treasure land and his diligence, his realm had steadily increased.


    According to his current progress, he should be able to attempt to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6 in about two months.


    However, this progress was still not enough for him.


    In his class, there were already Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan, who were at Qi Refinement Level-7. In the entire grade, there were a total of 12 people at this level. They were already recommended to enter the two local third-tier Dao Colleges.


    Compared to them, Chen Mobai, who was Qi Refinement Level-5, was nothing.


    Not to mention, there were also three God of Studies at Qi Refinement Level-8. They were geniuses who might be admitted into the four top Dao Colleges.


    Furthermore, when the scope expanded to the entire Danxia City, including the private public schools, there were countless geniuses.


    There was no need to mention the Heaven Spiritual Root from the First High School of the Immortal Sect. When he entered the school, he had already been booked by the Goumang Dao College. In addition, two geniuses with Special Spiritual Roots had also received a free admission notice from the Nature Academy.


    It was said that there were still students at Qi Refinement Level-9 in other high schools, but many people were hiding their talents, waiting to amaze the world during the college entrance examination and be selected by the four major Dao Colleges.


    ¡°If only my Spiritual Root was more outstanding.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. The main goal of the immortal sect was for man to conquer nature. As long as one¡¯s comprehension was outstanding and their luck was astonishing, they would be rewarded by the higher-ups during the exploration war, and their Spiritual Root would directly transform into a Heaven Spiritual Root. Then, they would advance by leaps and bounds, and the matter of becoming the ruler of the world would be on television every day. However, there were only a few people who could really do it.


    re


    As he sighed, he picked up his chopsticks and put the chilled fish slices beside him into his mouth.


    The cool and comfortable feeling made him very satisfied.


    Then, he took out the last spiritual power test paper and measured the attributes of his Spiritual Root. As expected, his the water attribute points of his Spiritual Root increased by two points, although it was only temporary.


    This was the last green carp he had caught near the water mansion.


    Perhaps it was because he had caught them too ruthlessly some time ago, but no green carp dared to come within a mile of him anymore. This one was the one he had caught yesterday and chilled until today.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel that it was a pity. After all, these green carps were very delicious and had also increased his Spiritual Root attributes.


    He did not waste the effects of the fish meat. While his Spiritual Root was improving, he planned to start cultivating the Five Elements Technique.


    In the end, he did not change his cultivation technique to the Black Water Technique. Apart from the fact that the water attribute points of his Spiritual Root did not reach 33 points, it was also because there was no follow-up to this Black Water Technique.


    Although the Five Elements Technique was very ordinary, the spiritual energy cultivated as a result was neutral and peaceful. There were no obstacles in changing it to any cultivation technique. Moreover, if he did not mind having a weak combat ability, he could use his points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Chapter and Golden Core Chapter of the Five Elements Technique in the National Library of the immortal sect.


    In history, the person who had cultivated the Five Elements Technique to the highest realm was a Nascent Soul expert named Qing Ping from the Heaven Mending Dao College.


    However, after Master Qing Ping broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm with the Five Elements Technique, he immediately switched to other cultivation techniques.


    This was because he could not defeat anyone in the same realm.


    Chen Mobai thought of the legend of Master Qing Ping¡¯s love of torturing rookies. Before cultivating his cultivation technique, he suddenly picked up his phone and opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he filled in the ¡°Five Elements Technique¡± in the search bar at the top.


    After typing in the words ¡°Five Elements Technique¡±, he remembered that his phone could not receive a signal in the water mansion.


    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself. He was about to put down his phone and cultivate hard.


    A loading circle suddenly appeared on the screen. Then, with a whoosh, the circle turned into a turtle shell and finally filled the entire interface. As if his phone had connected to a signal, more than 10,000 pages of search results appeared.


    ¡°This ¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth went dry as he read the first entry on the first page of the search results.


    The large headline read, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you everything I know about breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.¡±


    [Author: Qing Ping]


    With trembling fingers, he tapped the screen. At this moment, Chen Mobai could not be bothered to investigate why there was suddenly a signal in the water mansion.


    After he swiped the page, the internet speed was very fast.


    Chen Mobai clicked on an interface that resembled a video website. The title was the one he had seen outside.


    It was a collection of videos!


    There were a total of 28 videos, and they were all thoughtfully labeled with subtitles.


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-1]


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-2]


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-3]


    The final search result was (Five Elements Technique: Nascent Soul Level-1).


    Chen Mobai eagerly pulled up the interface of the video titled (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-5) and clicked on it.


    ¡°Hello, students. This is your Teacher Qing Ping. Today, we will continue to explain the Level-5 of the Five Elements Technique.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, please open the textbook on the Five Elements Technique to page 26. Before I explain this lesson, please tell me about the homework I gave everyone yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Although this basic Qi Refinement technique is simple, it contains very rich knowledge. It can even be said that the number one Qi Refinement technique in the immortal sect is also the foundation of the immortal sect. This is also why the immortal sect forcefully stipulates that all cultivators must cultivate the Five Elements Technique when they are young.¡±


    ¡°Even cultivators with Heaven Spiritual Roots have to cultivate the Five Elements Technique to Level-7 before they can switch to their own attribute cultivation technique. Then what¡¯s the reason for this? Teacher Qing Ping will explain it to everyone in detail in this class.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but speed up the video and watch it at double speed. Qing Ping was too naggy.


    However, after watching the 45-minute teaching video, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up. He listened to Qing Ping explain the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique from the beginning at a normal speed.


    Then, he eagerly sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.


    Chen Mobai felt that he could now cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-6 within a month.

 Chapter 21 - The Theory of Spiritual Roots

    Chapter 21 The Theory of Spiritual Roots


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had done a lot of research on the relative relationship between Spiritual Roots and cultivation speed. In the end, the book ¡°The Theory of Spiritual Roots¡± was published and became a treasured medical book.


    Research showed that Spiritual Root attribute points were proportional to cultivation speed.


    Every cultivator who was born normally would have 100 attribute points allocated to their Spiritual Root when their innate essence was sufficient. Then, the attribute points would be divided into five elements according to their luck, which was the ¡°Spiritual Root¡± that every cultivator had.


    Furthermore, the number of attribute points in each of the five elements determined the efficiency of their cultivation techniques.


    Take a genius with astonishing luck, who had all 100 attribute points allocated to the wood attribute, as an example. This was the legendary perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root. As a result, their efficiency of cultivating wood-attribute cultivation techniques would be twice that of ordinary people. Originally, it would take 100 years to master it. However, this person would only need 50 years.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    With his Spiritual Root, which had the most attribute points in the water attribute, as an example, if he cultivated the Black Water Technique and brought in the formulae in ¡°The Theory of Spiritual Roots¡±, his efficiency of refining spiritual energy would only be 1.3 times that of ordinary people.


    Of course, the specific efficiency of cultivation depended on the concentration of spiritual energy, the mental state of the cultivator, and whether there were any auxiliary spiritual objects.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, it would take at least half a year for him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6 with the Five Elements Technique.


    However, the water mansion was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. The concentration of spiritual energy was five to six times that of a superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual land. Thus, the efficiency of cultivating here was like riding a rocket compared to at school and home.


    However, even so, due to the limitations of his Spiritual Root, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s previous calculations, he still needed 100 days to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6. This was just before the college entrance examination.


    This was before he watched the video of Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture.


    Then Venerable Nascent Soul was indeed Venerable Nascent Soul. Even though he was only explaining the most basic Five Elements Technique and had talked about a lot of unimportant things in the beginning, when he really entered the dry content of the cultivation technique, Chen Mobai instantly felt enlightened.


    It turned out that when the spiritual energy circulated to this meridian, it could easily soar without any obstacles by rotating it counter-clockwise seven times in the aperture.


    When absorbing spiritual energy from the three orifices of the mouth and nose, it was necessary to repeatedly go back and forth between the 12 sections of the throat. This way, the impurities in the spiritual energy of the outside world could be intercepted by the 12 sections and not enter the meridians in the body. When it was time to stop, the waste gas at the throat would be expelled.


    Another example was that after the spiritual energy was refined and gathered in the dantian¡¯s sea of Qi, it could enter the body in the right direction.


    This was because a rotation to the right resulted in a clockwise rotation, allowing for a smooth entry. This helped to condense spiritual power. Furthermore, when one reached the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, they would turn this spiritual power into liquid. By taking this step, one could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future by 10%.


    By the same logic, a rotation to the left was the reverse and was done to dissipate the spiritual power. As a result, the spiritual power would not be able to rush through some of the more blocked and narrow meridians. It needed to spread out and turn into a thin soft aura that slowly advanced.


    After cultivating, Chen Mobai watched the videos of the Qi Refinement Level-1 and Level-2 of the Five Elements Technique. Only then did he realize how crude his understanding of this basic cultivation technique was.


    He saw that it was almost morning. Only then did he reluctantly lock his form.


    However, during his cultivation that night, he had already used the offline download function to download all 28 videos of Master Qing Ping explaining the Five Elements Technique to his phone. This offline download function was also a privilege that only users above Level-3 had. Chen Mobai was now a Level-5 user, so it was naturally not a problem. However, just in case, when he went to class today, he turned off the mobile network on his phone to avoid being found by the operators of the Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    ¡°Did you know that Yan Bingxuan dropped out of school?¡±


    In the morning, before the teacher came in, his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, had already mysteriously approached Chen Mobai. However, he still couldn¡¯t hide the matter and directly revealed the explosive news.


    ¡°Eh, why? The college entrance examination is coming soon. Is she going to drop out because she lost to Song Zheng and couldn¡¯t take the blow?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very likely. She¡¯s usually cold and aloof. This time, she lost and couldn¡¯t keep her face, so she simply dropped out.¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t be. It¡¯s not like she hasn¡¯t lost before.¡±


    ¡°Maybe she used dropping out of school as an excuse to secretly work at home.¡±


    The two beautiful deskmates in front also came over. The tables behind him were not empty either. In an instant, a gossip circle with Chen Mobai and Lu Hongsheng at the center was formed.


    Chen Mobai could only roll his eyes. In the past, he would have participated as well, but now that he was in his third year of high school and needed to risk his life, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste time on gossip.


    He wanted to amaze the world and soar into the sky¡­


    At this moment, Yan Bingxuan walked in. Instantly, the gossip circle fell silent.


    A cold gaze looked over. Chen Mobai expressed that he was innocent and did not participate in the discussion at all. However, Beauty Yan only looked at him coldly for two seconds before returning to her seat. She silently packed her things, picked up her blue school bag, and left the classroom.


    There was silence for perhaps ten seconds. Then, everyone began to speak in high tones and whisper to each other.


    The students who had been skeptical about Lu Hongsheng¡¯s news could not help but look at them in surprise, causing Chen Mobai¡¯s deskmate to raise his chest proudly.


    There was a click.


    Then, Chen Mobai stood up and dragged his chair across the floor, making a noise.


    ¡°Where are you going? Class is starting soon.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng asked curiously.


    ¡°I forgot my textbook. I¡¯ll borrow it from the library.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he avoided the even more ridiculous gossip conjecture that began to be discussed next. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The tables at the back had already imagined the love-hate relationship between the two geniuses, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan. It was enough to make a 20-episode television series.


    He couldn¡¯t bear to hear any more.


    It just so happened that he was planning to borrow a textbook from the library, so he decided to slip away.


    The Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect had a small library with a collection of about 3,000 books. This included some commonly used biographies, books about the local conditions and customs of Danxia City, as well as some small spell manuals, cultivation technique books, medicinal pills, artifacts, array formations, and other materials that could be self-learned.


    Although the book of the highest grade was only a superior-grade Rank-1 book, the basic content in all aspects was perfect. If a diligent person finished reading all the books in the library and comprehended them, it would not be a problem for them to become a Rank-1 array master, alchemist, and appraiser.


    Unfortunately, not many people came to this library.


    After all, who read paper books in this day and age?


    Only those who forgot to bring their textbooks would come here to borrow books with their student card for half a day. Then, they would return the books after school.


    If not for the fact that Chen Mobai did not want to spend 10 points to download the electronic version of the Five Elements Technique from the National Electronic Library of the immortal sect, he would not have borrowed it from this library.


    He had benefited greatly from Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture yesterday. However, when he watched the previous content, he realized that his knowledge was already a little blurry. He felt that it was necessary to take the original textbook of the Five Elements Technique and compare it with the content of the videos.


    ¡°That¡¯ll be one copy of ¡®Five Elements Technique¡¯. Using your student card to borrow the book, it¡¯ll be free as long as you return the book within a month.¡±


    The person who ran the library was a teacher with round glasses. She deftly took Chen Mobai¡¯s student card and swiped it.


    Just as Chen Mobai thanked the librarian and was about to leave, someone suddenly walked into the library.

 Chapter 22 - Mystic Ice Technique

    Chapter 22 Mystic Ice Technique


    Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face was cold. It was Yan Bingxuan.


    She was carrying a school bag and a book in her hand. When she walked into the library, she bumped into Chen Mobai. Her head tilted slightly as if she was very surprised.


    ¡°I forgot my textbook. I came here to borrow


    it.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan heard this, she looked at the Five Elements Technique book in his hand. Her clear eyes narrowed slightly in confusion.


    Didn¡¯t the teachers already finish teaching this basic cultivation technique in the first year of high school?


    However, Yan Bingxuan had no intention of probing into Chen Mobai¡¯s words. She raised her snow-white and round chin and nodded gently in response. Then, she walked past him and stood in front of the female teacher who was in charge of borrowing.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯ve come to return a book.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mobai turned around and saw the book she had returned.


    It was titled ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡±!


    It was a cultivation technique that Old Ding had said could turn a Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Finally. You¡¯ve been borrowing this book for almost a year.¡±


    The female teacher with round glasses seemed to know Yan Bingxuan. After taking ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡±, she teased her. Then, Yan Bingxuan revealed a rare smile, like the spring breeze turning into rain. Chen Mobai, who had only seen Beauty Yan¡¯s cold face in the past year, could not help but be stunned.


    ¡°When I heard you dropped out of school, I figured you must have succeeded. Now that you¡¯re here to return the book, I¡¯m even more


    sure.¡±


    When she was carrying out the book return process, the female teacher spoke casually, which made Chen Mobai¡¯s heart skip a beat. He vaguely felt that he knew the real reason why Yan Bingxuan had dropped out of school.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already sensed the frost intent. I¡¯ve cultivated the ice Spiritual Root, but my attribute points are still not enough. I need a lot of time to increase them.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was usually a person of few words, but she seemed to be very close to this female teacher with round glasses. Thus, Yan Bingxuan smiled and told her about her cultivation progress. ¡°If it¡¯s you, you¡¯ll definitely succeed.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Unlike her usual cold attitude in class, Yan Bingxuan was very gentle at this moment. For the first time, Chen Mobai felt the charm of this classmate.


    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. You usually make yourself so cold in order to match the ice Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good too. You¡¯re pretty quiet.¡±


    It turned out that she usually acted cold.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, the female teacher had already completed the return procedures for ¡°Mystic Ice Technique¡± and handed Yan Bingxuan¡¯s student card to her.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    However, Yan Bingxuan simply looked at the student card longingly. Then, she shook her head and left.


    Yan Bingxuan walked to the door and saw Chen Mobai standing there. Their eyes met. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded as a farewell to their brief classmateship.


    They hadn¡¯t been in the same class in the first and second years of high school. They had only been assigned together in the third year of high school.


    IThis could be considered a medium-sized fate.


    ¡°After reaching Qi Refinement Level-7, you can give up on cultivating the Five Elements Technique and switch to other cultivation techniques that are suitable for the attribute of your Spiritual Root. What did you choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    After learning about the method to improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root from Old Ding, he had specially searched for this knowledge online. He knew that although the method to improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root was also a method, it was more inclined to be a Dharma spell.


    Cultivators needed to cultivate and persevere for a long time. Sometimes, they might not even see their Spiritual Root attribute points increase even after a month.


    Many forerunners would ask cultivators to find a cultivation technique that matched their Spiritual Root. This way, they could not fall behind too much in their realm and could advance this technique along with the Spiritual Root Evolution Technique. It was the best of both worlds.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Technique.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan subconsciously answered. Then, she came to a realization. Why did she have to answer him?


    ¡°We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡±


    After hearing her answer, Chen Mobai¡¯s desire to give her ¡°Black Water Technique¡± faded. He had thought that her Frost Breath Technique and Ice Spell from the book should be of reference to her and wanted to form a good relationship.


    It was obvious that the Mystic Ice Technique was prepared for ice Spiritual Roots. He was the one who was overthinking.


    Watching Yan Bingxuan leave, Chen Mobai turned back.


    ¡°Can I borrow this book?¡±


    The female teacher with the round glasses was about to put ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡± on the shelf when she heard Chen¡¯s voice. She pointed hesitantly at the book in her hand. ¡°This book?¡±.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°This is a book from District A. If a student want to borrow it, they need the approval of the main subject teacher.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he nodded slightly and recalled what Old Ding had said. Although there were many Spiritual Root enhancement techniques, in order to prevent students with weak self-control from indulging and wasting precious time building their foundation, they usually needed to enter university before they were allowed to come into contact with this knowledge.


    ¡°I understand. Thank you, Teacher.¡±


    The female teacher with round glasses had a good impression of the polite Chen Mobai. At first, she thought that he had a good impression of Yan Bingxuan and wanted to use this opportunity to find a common ground between them. In order to prevent Chen Mobai from delaying his cultivation, she specially reminded him.


    ¡°Bingxuan¡¯s aunt is a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Nature Academy. It¡¯s said that she¡¯s about to attempt to reach the Core Formation Realm. It¡¯s hard to say if she¡¯ll survive this round, so she plans to nurture a successor before attempting the Core Formation Realm. She¡¯s one of the candidates. If she succeeds in the Frost Condensation Technique and condenses an ice Spiritual Root, then it¡¯ll most likely be her.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the female teacher¡¯s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood that she had misunderstood. However, he knew that the teacher was also reminding him kindly that he was still young and should prioritize his cultivation. If he succeeded in building his foundation, he still had more than a hundred years to slowly pursue his Spiritual Root.


    ¡°A perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator? I¡¯m afraid that there¡¯s no one like that in Danxia City.¡±


    Although the immortal sect had an orderly inheritance and was an immortal cultivation civilization, they could not avoid the gathering effect. Cultivators who were more talented basically went to the Grotto-Heaven cities with high-ranked spiritual veins.


    Although Danxia City had two major academies and an extremely rare Rank-4 fire vein, other than Foundation Establishment cultivators whose cultivation had reached its limit, they would not stay here for long.


    It was even more so for cultivators who had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and had a chance of reaching the Core Formation Realm.


    ¡°Although there are no perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators in our city, there are two Golden Cores.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s sigh, the female teacher, who was born and raised in Danxia City, could not help but say.


    That¡¯s right, among the 72 Blessed Lands of the immortal sects, some did not even have a Golden Core Perfected One presiding over them.


    However, there were two of them in Danxia City, who oversaw the two local Dao Colleges. One of them was a red-robed Daoist who had returned to his hometown, while the other was Perfected One Shi Qing, who had used the fire vein in Danxia City to refine a Dharma treasure.


    ¡°If only I could listen to a Golden Core Perfected One lecture once. After listening to it, I might be confident enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    The female teacher was also at the perfected Qi Refinement Level-9, but she had never dared to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm. If a Golden Core cultivator told her that she could successfully build her foundation, she might be able to rush towards the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    However, what kind of status did Golden Cores have? They could be said to be the sky of Danxia City!


    Not to mention a mere high school teacher like her, even students from the two local Dao Colleges might not have the chance to meet a Golden Core cultivator.


    At that moment, the bell rang.


    Chen Mobai immediately bade farewell and rushed back to the classroom with the Five Elements Technique book.


    He put on his wireless earpiece and clicked on the video of the Five Elements Technique lecture that he had downloaded last night. To avoid being seen by his deskmate, he had also switched off the screen of his disconnected cell phone and placed it under his textbook to hide it.


    Master Qing Ping¡¯s long-winded words sounded in his ears. Chen Mobai accurately swiped his finger across the screen without looking


    He wanted to fast forward the video!

 Chapter 23 - Qi Refinement Level-6

    Chapter 23 Qi Refinement Level-6


    In the water mansion, Chen Mobai sat on the meditation cushion.


    Waves of light representing the five elements appeared on his face. After flashing past one by one, they finally turned into a deep yellow color.


    This meant that the Five Elements Technique circulated for one full cycle before turning into platinum. Then, metal gave birth to water¡­ The five elements complemented each other and constantly rotated. After nine cycles, a trace of sweat appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    After a month of cultivation, under the nourishment of the Rank-2 spiritual energy in the water mansion, he finally reached the peak of Level-5 in the Five Elements Technique.


    When the time came, he had to break through in one go.


    This was what Master Qing Ping had said. Chen Mobai now respected everything this Venerable Nascent Soul had said. Without any hesitation, he felt that he was already at the last step and swallowed a Purple Fire Pill in his mouth.


    Although this kind of breakthrough pill was only 20% to 30% effective in breaking through Qi Refinement Level-6, it was the best Chen Mobai could buy.


    There were no less than 10,000 types of immortal pills and spiritual water in the immortal sect, but those that could help cultivators break through cultivation barriers were always the most popular.


    For example, no such pill was sold in ordinary pharmacies. Even if there was, it would at most increase the success rate by 5% or 10%.


    If ordinary cultivators wanted to buy good things, they could only hope that the pills periodically released by the large pharmaceutical factories or the official flagship stores of the immortal sects were basically top-notch.


    The Purple Fire Pill was one of them.


    After the pill entered his stomach, the sugar coating on the surface was instantly melted by spiritual energy. Then, a gentle Yang energy spread out and instantly spread throughout his body.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Technique, which had been circulated to the extreme, seemed to have been pushed and suddenly advanced to Level-6.


    However, that didn¡¯t mean he¡¯d broken through successfully. It was easy to break through, but the most important thing was to stabilize his realm after breaking through.


    A wisp of purple gas faintly appeared between his eyebrows.


    Purple qi rose slightly like fireworks, but it was about to extinguish in the next moment.


    This meant that the medicinal power had begun to run out, and he had only completed half of the full cycle in the Five Elements Technique. If he could not finish a complete circulation, it meant that he had failed this breakthrough


    However, Chen Mobai was not in a hurry. He stabilized his mind and placed his hand on a Spirit Stone beside him.


    Although it was his first time refining a Spirit Stone, he had found a lot of information about this on the Auxiliary Cultivation app. He already knew the main points and taboos.


    With the help of the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, which was about to fall, stabilized again. He even easily completed a full cycle.


    He had successfully broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6!


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes. He had a peaceful expression and couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily. His hard work for the past month had not been in vain.


    Of course, although there were many factors that allowed him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6, he knew very well that the greatest credit for being able to break through in a month was still Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture videos.


    A mighty figure in the Nascent Soul Realm had explained the Qi Refinement Chapter of the Five Elements Technique thoroughly.


    For the past month, Chen Mobai had been watching his videos in school during the day and coming to the water mansion at night to apply what he had learned. In addition, he had the spiritual energy of this Rank-2 treasure land, the Purple Fire Pill, and the help of the Spirit Stone. He felt that if he still could not break through, he would really be stupid.


    ¡°Should I prepare to change my cultivation technique?¡±


    After being excited for a while, Chen Mobai quickly calmed down and returned to reality.


    The immortal sect had a rule that when any cultivator started from the Qi Cultivation Realm, they had to cultivate the Five Elements Technique. At the Qi Refinement Level-7, they could choose to continue cultivating the Five Elements Technique or change to other cultivation techniques.


    The advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements Technique were very obvious. For cultivators with ordinary Spiritual Roots, their cultivation speed would not be slow, but their combat ability was average. However, the adaptive spiritual power of the Five Elements Technique allowed it to be converted into any attribute cultivation technique without any obstacles.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother, Tang Pancui, cultivated the Five Elements Technique. She had been stuck at Qi Refinement Level-6 for many years, but her mentality was very good.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s father, Chen Xinglan, he had switched to the ¡°Fuse Technique¡± that he had learned from the Crimson Afterglow College at his own expense. He was now at Qi Refinement Level-8 and worked in a workshop of a magic artifact factory. His company provided free superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy to its employees. In order to save money, he spent most of his time at the company.


    Meanwhile, the National Library of the immortal sect had an artificial primordial spirit. As long as one entered his Spiritual Root attribute, it would automatically match the user to the most suitable cultivation technique book.


    He only needed to spend one point to try this function.


    Chen Mobai had tried it before when he was bored. Then, the artificial primordial spirit gave him the Five Elements Technique, which made his face turn green on the spot.


    This meant that although he had a True Spiritual Root, it was basically no different from having a pseudo Spirit Root.


    However, things were different now.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai turned on his phone and opened the National Library app. However, he immediately realized that his phone had no signal.


    ¡°I almost forgot that only the Auxiliary Cultivation app, which has an agent in the Turtle Treasure app, receives a signal in the water mansion¡­¡±


    Chen checked the time. It was still early, but he decided to go back early. With the Purple Fire Pill, he could not cultivate for a period of time after breaking through. He could only use the Qi Nourishing Spell to nourish his meridians. However, Chen Mobai used the pure spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone in the latter half of the cycle. It seemed that the Yang fire effect of the pill was completely neutralized. He did not feel that his meridians were as full as when he broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5.


    It was as if his cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refinement had completely stabilized without the need for nourishment.


    However, to be safe, Chen Mobai did not continue cultivating today.


    There was no hurry. Cultivation had to be balanced.


    Just as he put away the Spirit Stone that he had sucked dry, a sudden pop-up window abruptly appeared on his phone screen.


    (Do you wish to enable the Agent function?]


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    After a short moment of surprise, Chen Mobai thought of how much Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture video had helped him. He was about to say (Yes).


    However, just as his finger was about to press down, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He recalled the Level-5 halo after he had activated the agent in the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app. His face instantly turned pale.


    His hand trembled, and he was so shocked that he immediately clicked ¡®No¡¯.


    This was the National Library, the foundation of the immortal sect, not some app from a small workshop.


    Once he became a Level-5 user of the National Library, the three halls of the immortal sect would find this person even if they had to search the entire Planet Earth.


    However, it was a pity to give up on this agent.


    He quickly opened the Turtle Treasure app and could not help but be relieved to see that the (Agent] button was glowing, indicating that it could be used.


    How exactly was this feature triggered?


    Chen Mobai thought about how he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6. Could it be that he could activate this function once every time he broke through?


    But why had he waited for days the last time?


    Was it because this breakthrough was perfect and his realm was stable?

 Chapter 24 - Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water

    Chapter 24 Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water


    Chen Mobai looked conflicted.


    If he allowed the Turtle Treasure app to manage his National Library app, there was no doubt that it would help him more than the second-rate Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    The immortal sect had a very strict hierarchy. The higher one¡¯s cultivation level was, the higher the authority they could enjoy.


    As for the National Library, it was undoubtedly one of the core treasures of the immortal sect. The 84,000 Dao books stored inside were said to be all-encompassing. As long as a cultivator reached a certain level, they could check the corresponding cultivation insights and cultivation techniques.


    Even the seven cultivation techniques passed down by the immortal sect that could be cultivated to the Soul Formation Realm were included.


    However, only Venerable Nascent Souls could check this part of the content.


    Although Chen Mobai also knew how capable he was, he was only an insignificant Qi Refinement Level-6 cultivator now. Even if a Soul Formation Realm cultivation technique was placed in front of him, he could only look at it and not cultivate it.


    However, humans were always curious.


    If the Turtle Treasure app really succeeded in becoming an agent and raised his permissions to Level-5, wouldn¡¯t he be able to browse all the contents of the National Library? Although downloading entire books still required points, he would be able to learn about Soul Formation cultivation techniques. He was happy just by reading the introduction.


    Still, he had some sense.


    He felt that he had to think of a foolproof plan. He had to make sure that the immortal sect would not find out about him before activating the agent.


    Chen Mobai clicked on his user interface in the National Library. The account name was adapted from an ancient poem that he thought was very cool when he was young.


    ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±


    Looking at it now, it was still a little childish, but only he knew this account name anyway, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered to change it after so many years.


    There was a small tick at the back of the account, indicating that he had passed the real- name verification.


    If this account was upgraded to a Level-5 user, the immortal sect would be able to reach his doorstep that night. It was better to take it slow.


    After Chen Mobai calmed down, he got up and packed his things, preparing to leave the water mansion.


    It was already a joyous matter that he had successfully broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6 today. He could not be greedy. After all, extreme joy led to sorrow.


    He packed up the tin box that had contained the Purple Fire Pill, the Spirit Stone that had been sucked dry and turned gray, and his beverage bottles and snack bags, preparing to take them home for garbage sorting.


    He put on his bag and was about to press the ¡°Return to City¡± button on his phone when he suddenly saw the three side halls that had been closed all this time.


    He had been so engrossed in cultivation these days that he had almost forgotten that there were three side halls in the water mansion.


    Putting aside the two side halls that were sealed with lightning restrictions, he could now try to crack the array formation with the water wave restriction.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and buy more Green Arrow Talismans. Then, I¡¯ll break them in the next two days.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then disappeared in a flash of silver light.


    At school.


    The teacher was giving a lecture while Chen Mobai and most of the other students were minding their own business.


    In immortal cultivation, one¡¯s realm came first.


    After all, the higher one¡¯s cultivation level was, the longer one¡¯s lifespan would be. This knowledge could be learned when one reached a bottleneck in cultivation in the future.


    The teacher knew this, so they ignored it and went on talking.


    Usually, there were only two types of cultivators who came to be teachers. The first type were senior cultivators who had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, such as Manager Ding.


    The other type wanted to use the opportunity of teaching to re-experience the four subjects of Dharma spells, pills, equipment, and array dormations. They also wanted to earn some Karma Points at the same time. Two examples were their form teacher, Chai Deyun, and the array formation teacher, Chan Si. The former had reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, while the latter had accepted the teaching mission from Danzhu College. Chan Si was also learning array formations and using the opportunity of teaching to deepen her foundation.


    Chen Mobai was shopping online.


    The ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± he had bought last time had worked very well. Thus, he went to the same shop and placed another order.


    This time, he had the money. Just to be sure, he bought ten of them in one go. Even though half of the Karma Points in his card were gone, he didn¡¯t feel bad. After all, he¡¯d gotten all these Karma Points without doing anything.


    He used the remaining Karma Points to buy two Wooden Armor Talismans.


    It felt good to spend money.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s luck was off the charts. He had snatched two bottles of ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± that had just been put on sale by Goumang Dao College. It was a medium-grade Rank-1 spiritual water and could quickly fill up his cultivation level after breaking through.


    For example, Chen Mobai had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6. If he absorbed spiritual energy to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, he would need about two years to complete his cultivation of the Qi Refinement Level-6 and attempt to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    However, consuming the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± could quickly shorten this process.


    According to the instructions of the pill formula, if one consumed a bottle and cultivated in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, one day of cultivation would be equivalent to ten ordinary days of cultivation.


    In other words, if Chen Mobai consumed the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± every day, he could shorten the cultivation from two years to 70 days and complete his cultivation of Qi Refinement Level-6.


    Many so-called young geniuses were fed this ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±.


    However, there were pros and cons.


    First of all, it was not cheap. A bottle cost 200 Karma Points.


    Secondly, if one consumed the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± to shorten their cultivation time, their foundation would naturally be unstable. The time needed to break through the bottleneck would also far exceed those cultivators who cultivated step by step.


    It was still fine if it was a minor bottleneck, but if one wanted to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm with a weak foundation, the failure rate was almost 100%.


    Chen Mobai would never have thought of buying this, but after breaking through to Qi Refinement Level-6, he felt that if he worked hard, he might have a chance to advance to Qi Refinement Level-7 before the college entrance examination.


    Once he reached the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, it would be completely different. He could basically enter the top ten academies. Even if his foundation was a little superficial, he could just think of ways to make up for it in the future.


    After all, Master Qing Ping had said that one¡¯s realm was number one.


    This Venerable Nascent Soul had experienced more than 300 battles since he started cultivating and had never been defeated. What he relied on was his high realm.


    When he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he fought Qi Refinement cultivators. When he was at the Golden Core Realm, he defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators. After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, he only attacked Golden Core cultivators and never fought with cultivators of the same realm.


    Chen Mobai felt that what Master Qing Ping said made a lot of sense.


    In the battle at the water mansion, if not for the fact that he was at the mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm and the old man was only at Qi Refinement Level-3, he might not have been able to win.


    Therefore, the most important thing was to increase his realm.


    That was why he had bought the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    He was also lucky. This was a best-selling product. Every time it was put on sale, it would basically be snatched up within a minute. Moreover, there was a limit of five bottles per account. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t been browsing the Goumang Dao College¡¯s official flagship store just now and happened to be there, he might not have been able to snatch it.


    It was a pity that he was short of money. Otherwise, he could have bought all five bottles. Even if he didn¡¯t use them, he could still earn 100 Karma Points by reselling them.


    While he was feeling regretful, Chen Mobai heard the bell ringing.


    In the school¡¯s cultivation room, he did not watch Master Qing Ping¡¯s Five Elements Technique video lecture this time. Instead, he searched for the video of him breaking the restrictions. Relying on his high level of permissions, he searched for more than 300 methods of breaking the restrictions similar to the compound water wave restriction.

 Chapter 25 - Milky Way Realm

    Chapter 25 Milky Way Realm


    In addition to the video, there were more than a thousand articles bragging about the best way to break out of jail.


    Chen Mobai set up the search conditions. First, he set the level of the author to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Instantly, there were only two videos and six articles left.


    After he read the contents carefully, he felt dizzy.


    The content was too advanced. The technique that a Venerable Nascent Soul felt was very basic was like a heavenly book to him.


    He had no choice but to search for authors in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    However, there were too many of them. In the end, he could only choose some of the more popular ones to read first.


    In any case, it would take two to three days for the Green Arrow Talismans to be delivered to him. Chen Mobai slowly began to compare the methods to break the restriction uploaded by various special people on the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he would choose a method suitable for him to study.


    If he really couldn¡¯t understand anything, he would ask Old Ding to teach him. The latter would tell him everything he knew.


    When he obtained the talismans and the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, Chen Mobai was already very confident in breaking the seal.


    In the water mansion.


    He first controlled the array flags to test it out to ensure that the power of the Jade Water Array was not linked to the restriction before activating the Green Arrow Talisman to break the restriction.


    It turned out that he had done a pretty good job at preparing


    After the bombardment of the three Green Arrow Talismans, the door to the side hall on the right shattered. This was because the power of the Green Arrow Talismans had not been exhausted after the power of the water wave restriction disappeared.


    Chen Mobai hurriedly waved the array flag in his hand. Then, he used the Jade Water Array to pick up the remaining pieces of the stone door one by one and piled them up in the front hall.


    Then, he used the Cleaning Spell to clean up all the dust.


    Holding the array flag in one hand and a Wooden Armor Talisman in the other, he walked to the already open door.


    The side hall was small and had a layout similar to a study. Apart from a large wooden table that was two by three meters large, there were bookshelves along three of the walls. They were filled with rolls of bamboo slips, books, and paper.


    Chen Mobai flicked six glass beads in, which rolled through all areas of the side hall. After confirming that there was no residual restriction power, he walked in. He came to the big wooden table. There was a random pile of white paper on it. There was also a pen holder with three brushes of different sizes hanging on it, and an inkstone. The ink was completely dry, which showed that no one had used it for a long time.


    There was another book on the table with two lines on the cover.


    The first line read, ¡°Jade Wave Mansion Accounts¡±!


    The second line read, ¡°First Yuan Era, Year 6425¡±!


    There was also a signature in the lower right corner which read ¡°Liu Lengpei, Five Elements Sect¡±.


    After Chen Mobai finished looking at the desk, he looked around and realized that most of the bookshelves were filled with ledgers. A small portion of them recorded the local customs. There were also some miscellaneous books that introduced Dharma spells, alchemy, Dharma artifacts, and array formations. He even saw the Black Water Technique among the books.


    There was a stool below the big wooden table. Chen Mobai went over and sat down.


    Then, he picked up the book on the table and opened it.


    In January, a new batch of 200 Jade Blood Carp fries were bought from the Liu cultivation family, while seven stalks of Silver-Bordered Jade Bamboo from Green Bamboo Ridge were purchased. Two stalks of Golden-Bordered Jade Bamboo were also purchased, bringing the total cost to 370 Spirit Stones.


    In February, 100 kilograms of fish food and 50 bottles of spiritual water to nurture the Jade Bamboo were purchased from the South Stream Market. A total of 120 Spirit Stones were spent.


    In March, 150 kilograms of fish food was bought from the South Stream Market. The Silver-Bordered Jade Bamboo was not cultivated well, so two stalks died. He also bought five bottles of spiritual water to clean up the pests, which cost a total of 70 Spirit Stones.


    In April, 200 kilograms of fish food and 20 bottles of spiritual water were purchased, bringing the total amount to 80 Spirit Stones.


    In May¡­ One stalk of Gold-Rimmed Jade Bamboo withered¡­


    The ledger continued until October and ended just like that. He didn¡¯t see any income at the end.


    It seemed that the bookkeeper had something on at this time and had left this Jade Wave Mansion.


    Chen Mobai got up and walked to the bookshelf on the wall. He compared the dates and found the ledgers for the previous year Year 6424. Not only did he find the ledgers for this year, but the ledgers for the next 20 years were also in this row.


    He took ten books, returned to the table, and began to turn the pages from the beginning.


    He flipped through the ledgers for the first three years and finally saw some income.


    In August of Year 6423 in the First Yuan Era, 50 Jade Blood Carps grew into inferior-grade Rank-1 fish. Thirty fish were supplied to the sect, while 20 were sold in the Heavenly Dining Hall of the South Stream Market for 200 Spirit Stones.


    In September, 70 inferior-grade Rank-1 Jade Blood Carps were sold for 700 Spirit Stones.


    In October, 20 inferior-grade Rank-1 Jade Blood Carps were sold for 200 Spirit Stones.


    After flipping through ten years¡¯ worth of accounts, Chen Mobai had reason to suspect that the bookkeeper might have embezzled a lot.


    However, at this moment, he realized that the green carp he had eaten was actually called the ¡°Jade Blood Carp¡±. One fry was worth one Spirit Stones. After nurturing it for three years, it could be sold for ten Spirit Stones.


    le


    He flipped through the other ledgers, finally learning the history of the water mansion.


    The Jade Wave Mansion was a lower courtyard of the Five Elements Sect, a large sect in the Eastern Wastelands. The Jade Cloud Lake, where it was located, was a Rank-2 spiritual vein. Every year, cultivating the Jade Blood Carp and planting the Jade Bamboo allowed them to earn some Spirit Stones.


    However, as a large sect in the Eastern Wastelands, the reason why they sent their disciples here to develop more residences was not mainly to earn Spirit Stones, but to satisfy the desires of the upper-level ancestors.


    After being cooked by a chef, the Jade Blood Carps and the Jade Bamboo Shoots could be said to be delicious.


    After a Golden Core Perfected One from the Five Elements Sect ate these dishes once, he could no longer forget them. Coincidentally, the conditions in the Jade Cloud Lake were suitable for raising fish and planting bamboo, so he distributed this long-term mission in the sect.


    A Qi Refinement Level-9 cultivator named Liu Lengpei accepted this mission in order to accumulate Spirit Stones to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. He had been stationed in the Jade Wave Mansion for 20


    years.


    He was conscientious. Every year, he bought fish fry, bamboo seeds, and even learned the skills of a Spiritual Value Beast Tamer just to show his face in front of the Golden Core Daoist.


    Then, Chen Mobai looked at the books regarding local customs on the bookshelf and finally knew where he was.


    This place was actually no longer on Planet Earth.


    Instead, it was a cultivation world called the Milky Way.


    It was no wonder that his phone could not receive a signal. He did not know if this ¡°Milky Way Realm¡± was far from Planet Earth.


    Chen Mobai quickly accepted this alternate world. After all, the highest level of the exploration war started by the immortal sect was to develop a new world.


    However, at this level of war, if one was not careful, their own world would be destroyed. Therefore, after knowing that he was in another cultivation world, he decided to be more careful and hide himself.


    But there was another problem.


    How had he come to be in this world?


    What exactly was that turtle shell?


    Based on the Flying Needle Sect¡¯s Disciple Manual from the brown-robed young man that he had read previously, it should be Year 6478 of the First Yuan Era. Meanwhile, the records written by Liu Lengpei, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, stopped at Year 6425 of the First Yuan Era.


    le


    In other words, Liu Wanpei had left the water mansion for more than 50 years.


    The old man who claimed to be Liu Wanpei¡¯s disciple should know something, but he was already dead.


    Seeing that it was almost dawn, Chen Mobai took two books that he had never read before and prepared to go home.


    Then, he had an idea.


    ¡°Wait. Since I¡¯m no longer on Planet Earth, I¡¯m not afraid of the immortal sect investigating me.¡±


    Can¡¯t wait ReadMTL here ¨C> https://readmtl.com/novel/i-have-a-cultivation-world/

 Chapter 26 - Turtle Deity

    Chapter 26 Turtle Deity


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and clicked on the Turtle Treasure app.


    Just as he was about to press the (Agent] button that had lit up, he remembered something else.


    He exited the Turtle Treasure app, opened the National Library app, and logged out from his account first.


    ¡°I wonder if it¡¯ll work without logging in?¡±


    As he muttered to himself, Chen Mobai pressed the (Agent] button. Then, an interface popped up on the homepage of his phone.


    (Please select the app you would like to activate an agent for.]


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Why was the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app chosen previously? Could it be that if he was currently using a certain app when the [Agent) function could be activated, an agent would be activated for that app? Meanwhile, he activated the function from the Turtle Treasure app, he would have to choose the app manually.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think too much about it. He clicked on the icon of the ¡°National Library¡± app.


    Then, another interface popped up.


    [No account has been retrieved. The agent cannot be activated. Do you wish to create a new account?]


    There was actually such a function. This was quite reasonable!


    Chen Mobai selected (Yes).


    Then, when he was about to enter the account name, he thought for a while. The first thing that appeared in his mind was, ¡°I will make the flowers bloom at the same time.¡±


    It just happened to form a complete poem with his previous account, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±


    However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was a possibility of being exposed. It was still not artistic.


    With a final flash of inspiration, he typed in two words. ¡°Turtle Deity!¡±


    After the new account was registered, the agent was launched.


    He saw a cute little turtle appear in the center of the ¡°National Library¡± app that he had clicked on. After spinning around, it disappeared into his user profile picture in the upper right corner.


    However, this time, the situation was different from the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± agent. The little turtle crawled around his head with difficulty. It seemed that the protection of the ¡°National Library¡± app far exceeded the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and could not be overcome easily.


    In the end, it raised his permissions and almost four halos appeared. Then, the small turtle could no longer crawl and disappeared.


    He was a Level-3 user.


    This represented a Golden Core Perfected One.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt a little disappointed.


    This Turtle Treasure app was not omnipotent. It seemed that there was a power in the immortal sect that could suppress him.


    However, this was just right. If he was a Level-4 user, the immortal sect would definitely be able to find out immediately that there was something wrong with this new user, ¡°Turtle Deity¡±.


    After all, the entire immortal sect had famous Venerable Nascent Souls. It was too suspicious for a mysterious Turtle Deity to suddenly appear.


    Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Mobai excitedly opened the ¡°National Library¡± app that had been successfully represented with an agent.


    He didn¡¯t know how his Level-3 permissions differed from his previous Level-1 permissions.


    There was no difference in the interface.


    He read the user description. He had only read the introduction, but his eyes lit up.


    A Level-1 user would not have much choice in the face of the National Library. They could only look at whatever cultivation technique was provided to them. Meanwhile, Level-3 users had great freedom.


    As long as one filled in their thoughts, their expected goals, and even the resources they had, the artificial primordial spirit of the National Library would integrate various. conditions. Then, 30 cultivation techniques based on the 84,000 Daoist books in the library would be arranged according to priority.


    In some ways, 95% of the National Library was already open to Level-3 users.


    After all, above that, there were only a handful of Level-4 users, who were Venerable Nascent Souls. There were only a handful of books and cultivation techniques that were useful to them.


    Chen Mobai suppressed the excitement in his heart, clicked on his Spiritual Root attribute in the input bar, and then pressed the search button.


    In an instant, 30 cultivation techniques appeared.


    There were five techniques in each row, with a total of six rows.


    The first cultivation technique listed was still the Five Elements Technique!


    Chen Mobai opened it and saw that it was the complete version. He could use this version and cultivate the Five Elements Technique to the Nascent Soul Realm. He was about to download it when an interface notification popped up.


    [Not enough points. Unable to download.]


    It seemed that no matter how high-leveled a user was, they could not freeload.


    Level-3 users could get a 30% discount, but Turtle Deity was a new account with no points at all.


    However, Chen Mobai did not intend to take advantage of everything. Hence, his mentality was very balanced. He exited the interface of the Five Elements Technique and continued reading the rest of the techniques.


    He looked at the ¡°Infinite Technique¡±, the ¡°Water Flower Sword Scripture¡±, the ¡°Great Dark Yin Technique¡±, the ¡°Nine Melodies Diagram¡±, the ¡°Book of Ten Thousand Rivers¡±, the ¡°Pure Jade Scripture¡±, and the ¡°Pure Yang Manual¡±¡­


    Each cultivation technique was more famous than the last. Furthermore, the more he progressed, the more outrageous it became. The Pure Jade Scripture was the highest technique of the Taiyuan Academy. It was also the only seven Essence Soul techniques in the immortal sect that could be cultivated.


    The Pure Yang Manual was not inferior either. It was the supreme technique of the Pure Yang Academy and also an Essence Soul technique.


    However, after reading the recommended cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai understood something.


    All techniques returned to their origin.


    Although there were 84,000 Dao books in the National Library, these Dao books were basically derived from the seven Essence Soul cultivation techniques. No matter what kind of Spiritual Root one had, if one wanted to achieve the Great Dao, one still had to walk along one of these seven paths.


    Chen Mobai was now a Level-3 user, so the artificial primordial spirit gave him cultivation techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm at the bare minimum. Moreover, it tacitly agreed that he had a trace of potential to cultivate the Essence Soul. Therefore, according to the attributes of his Spiritual Root, the Pure Jade Scripture and the Pure Yang Manual were included among the 30 cultivation techniques.


    Among them, the Pure Jade Scripture could be said to be the ultimate version of the Five Elements Technique. It did not have a high requirement for the attributes of the Spiritual Root. It was even best if the five elements were balanced.


    However, the difficulty of cultivating the Pure Jade Scripture was extremely high. Only after cultivating the Nascent Soul Realm could one comprehend it.


    Therefore, after Chen Mobai clicked on it excitedly, he realized that he didn¡¯t have sufficient permissions. Thus, he could only read the introduction and table of contents.


    Losing interest, he read the introduction of the 30 cultivation techniques from beginning to end, wanting to find the one that suited him the best.


    The Infinite Technique was a cultivation technique of the Nature Academy. The Dharmic powers cultivated were pure and boundless. One could be said to be invincible in a battle against an opponent of the same realm. However, it required a huge amount of spiritual energy and the cultivation speed was slow.


    Meanwhile, the Water Flower Sword Scripture was a sword cultivation technique of the Mountain Sea Academy. It condensed water into a sword and refined it into an array. After the array was formed, it would be easy to fight against many enemies alone. If the battle was in water, the user would be invincible.


    From the introductions alone, each cultivation technique was more powerful than the last, making Chen Mobai, who had difficulty choosing, very hesitant.


    However, he was immediately relieved.


    After all, he had zero points in his new account, ¡°Turtle Deity¡±.


    Thus, he could not download any of these 30 cultivation techniques.


    However, even his main account, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±, only had more than 3,000 points, which meant that he had only spent 3,000 Karma Points since he was young. Nearly 1,000 of these points were added when he bought the Green Arrow Talismans and the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water online a few days ago.


    He had no choice. There really wasn¡¯t much he needed to spend money on.


    Chen Mobai clicked on the last cultivation technique, the Pure Yang Manual.


    Although this cultivation technique was also an Essence Soul cultivation technique, compared to the high threshold of the Jade Pure Scripture, it was progressive and the advancement path was very clear.

 Chapter 27 - Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending

    Chapter 27 Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending


    The Pure Yang Manual was divided into five major chapters, from Level-1 to Level-5. They corresponded to the five major realms of Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation.


    Moreover, the rarest thing was that the Pure Yang Manual didn¡¯t have high requirements for Spiritual Root attributes.


    However, there was only one threshold.


    That was to cultivate a matching Dao Body.


    This Dao Body was called the Pure Yang Avatar!


    The cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar was also divided into levels, namely from One-Yang to Nine-Yang, with a threshold every three levels. Only when the avatar was perfected would it be a ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    For example, if one wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had to first master the Three-Yang Body.


    Meanwhile, if one wanted to achieve the Core Formation Realm, they needed a Six-Yang Body.


    To advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, one had to first have a Nine-Yang Body.


    When Chen Mobai saw this, he discovered a familiar point.


    Wasn¡¯t the Three-Yang Body the Spiritual Root enhancement technique that Old Man Ding had bitterly cultivated when he was young? It was no wonder that the Pure Yang Academy directly recruited him after he mastered it.


    Unfortunately, Old Ding did not succeed in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm at the end.


    But wasn¡¯t this Three-Yang Body a Dao Body? What did it have to do with improving his Spiritual Root?


    Chen Mobai was puzzled and wanted to continue reading, but he realized that he didn¡¯t have enough points. He could only read the outline and table of contents in the Pure Yang Manual. He couldn¡¯t read the specific cultivation method of the Three-Yang Body.


    He cursed silently. However, he had another idea.


    He opened the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and entered the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡± in the search bar.


    As expected, all techniques returned to their origin.


    More than 200 pages of search results appeared. It seemed that there were many people in the entire immortal sect who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual.


    Chen Mobai opened a video at the top of the search page. It was uploaded by a Core Formation Perfected One with the name ¡°Shao Yang.¡±


    ¡°Although this Pure Yang Avatar is a cultivation of the Dao Body, it is based on the Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°The difficulty of cultivating the Pure Yang Manual is actually on par with the Pure Jade Scripture. However, after Patriarch Yuan Yang became a Soul Formation cultivator, he felt that the Great Dao was difficult, so he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Avatar for the Pure Yang Manual, greatly reducing the threshold of cultivation.¡±


    ¡°From the First-Yang Body to the Nine-Yang Body, the Pure Yang Avatar requires 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one¡¯s Spiritual Root. This way, when the technique is perfected, one can basically be sure that they will have a Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.¡±


    After listening to Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai understood why the Three-Yang Body was also a Spiritual Root enhancement technique.


    It turned out that the cultivation threshold of the original ¡°Pure Yang Manual¡± was also very high. It required one to be born in a specific year, month, day, and time. Furthermore only a baby with a pure Yang body could cultivate it.


    Ever since the immortal sect established its orthodoxy on Planet Earth, the upper echelons had calculated the time and date of birth, making the cultivators below work hard to have children. There were also many children with pure Yang bodies.


    One of them was Patriarch Yuan Yang, who had founded the Pure Yang Academy.


    However, he was also a great sage who was obsessed with nurturing his descendants and buried his head in the education industry. In order to spread the Pure Yang Dao to the world and allow most cultivators to cultivate it, he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Body.


    It was the Pure Yang Avatar!


    Patriarch Yuan Yang came from the Heaven Mending Dao College and had personally experienced the power of the ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±. He had been inspired by it.


    The ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± was comprehended by the first-generation Patriarch of the immortal sect from the Upper World¡¯s Heavenly Book. Once used, it could reconstruct the Spiritual Root attributes of a cultivator. It was indeed heaven-defying.


    Take the attributes of Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root before he ate the Green Blood Carp for example.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 25, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    The attribute points of the five attributes added up to exactly 100 points. This was assigned by the heavens, so it could only depend on luck.


    Meanwhile, ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± could allow one to artificially change this point allocation later on.


    In layman¡¯s terms, one¡¯s attribute points would be reshuffled.


    If Chen Mobai used ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±, he could specify a certain attribute and then assign the points from the remaining four attributes to the chosen attributes.


    For example, if he liked the wood attribute the most, he could turn the 23 metal attribute points, 23 water attribute points, 17 fire attribute points, and the 10 earth attribute points into neutral attribute points. Then, he would distribute them all to the wood attribute and simply have a perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root with 100 wood attribute points.


    There was another term for this 100-point Spiritual Root in the immortal sect. It was called the ¡°Immortal Spiritual Root¡±.


    Such a person had never been born. It could only be achieved using ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±. Patriarch Yuan Yang had obtained the baptism of ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± and reconstructed his Spiritual Root into an Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.


    With the ¡°Immortal Spiritual Root¡± and the ¡°Pure Yang Body¡±, he cultivated extremely quickly.


    In just 500 years, he had cultivated his Essence Soul. He was the fastest Soul Formation Patriarch in the history of the immortal sect to do so.


    Unfortunately, only Soul Formation Patriarchs could use this immortal technique, and it would consume a lot of vitality.


    Therefore, no one had had such a blessing in the past 1,000 years.


    Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Mobai finished watching the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the Pure Yang Body. Only then did he understand why he needed 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    The way of the heavens was to take what was left and to make up for what was lacking.


    The cultivation of this Pure Yang Avatar used the water and wood attributes to make up for the fire attribute.


    According to the theory of the five elements, his water Spiritual Root would be transformed into a wood Spiritual Root. Then, the wood Spiritual Root would be transformed into a fire Spiritual Root. In the end, he would achieve an effect similar to ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±.


    The cultivation of each level was determined by the cultivator¡¯s talent, comprehension, and resources. At most, they could lose three water attribute points and three wood attribute points at every level. However, in the end, they could experience an increase of nine fire attribute points by using the Pure Yang Manual.


    If one achieved the Nine-Yang Body and was lucky enough to convert nine points every time, even a cultivator without a fire Spiritual Root would eventually have a Heaven Spiritual Root with 81 fire attribute points.


    If he already had 20 fire attribute points in their Spiritual Root, with the two stacked together, his fire attribute points would increase to 100, raising his Spiritual Root to an immortal fire Spiritual Root.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. He looked at the attributes of his Spiritual Root.


    He had exactly 20 wood attribute points. Meanwhile, he originally had 23 water attribute points, but after the Jade Blood Carps, he now had 30 water attribute points. This perfectly met the requirements to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.


    He looked at his fire attribute points. He had 17 points.


    This was like a fly in the ointment.


    When he achieved the Nine-Yang Body, it would add up to exactly 98 points. He was just two points way from achieving an Immortal Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai had already imagined himself mastering the Pure Yang Body, achieving the Soul Formation Realm, sweeping through the world, and becoming a revered ancestor.


    Then, he watched a few cultivation videos on the Three-Yang Body. In an instant, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.


    ¡°The fastest to cultivate the Three-Yang Body was a cultivator called Ming Yang. He spent 12 years. Then, he used 39 years to cultivate the Six-Yang Body. In the end, he cultivated for 86 years to cultivate the Nine-Yang Body. However, at that time, his lifespan was already insufficient, and he was unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. In the end, he died of old age.¡±

 Chapter 28 - Yuan Yang Sword

    Chapter 28 Yuan Yang Sword


    Although Planet Earth had entered a cultivation civilization and everyone¡¯s lifespan had greatly increased, there was still a limit.


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done a lot of research on the lifespan of humans.


    After sampling the lifespan of 100,000 ordinary cultivators, the lifespan of every cultivator was determined.


    Qi Refinement Realm cultivators basically had a lifespan of 120 years.


    Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 240 years.


    Meanwhile, Golden Core Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 480 years.


    Lastly, the lifespan of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was double that of Golden Core Realm cultivators at 960 years.


    Of course, this data was not absolute. It would vary from person to person, but that was how long a normal cultivator¡¯s lifespan was.


    If one cultivated a special cultivation technique, used a nourishing technique, or consumed a life-prolonging spirit medicine, it was possible for them to live for another 60 years.


    As for Soul Formation cultivators, due to the scarcity of examples and the lack of sufficient samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace did not announce their lifespan.


    However, according to the previous lifespan pattern, they should have a lifespan of 1,920 years. This was a lifespan of almost 2,000 years.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s biggest dream was to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60.


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done research on cultivators breaking through to the next realm. The conclusion was that the success rate of breaking through was the highest when one¡¯s age was less than half of their expected lifespan.


    For example, if a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was best to do so before the age of 60. This was the final peak of the human body. After this age, no matter how much one maintained their Qi Refinement cultivation, all kinds of bodily functions would begin to decline greatly.


    Initially, Chen Mobai felt that he only had a 1% chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. Now, although he had the opportunity to obtain the mysterious turtle shell, he felt that there was only a 10% chance.


    There were 300 million cultivators in the entire immortal sect.


    One in 100 cultivators could cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-9.


    Among the Qi Refinement Level-9 cultivators, only the cream of the crop cultivators could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. After analyzing the data from these successful Foundation Establishment cultivator samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace discovered that more than 90% of them were young people who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm before the age of 60.


    Once one passed the age of 60, their blood essence and spirit would be insufficient. Those who successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm afterwards either had an opportunity or were blessed by the heavens.


    Achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm was already so difficult, but advancing to the Core Formation Realm was even more difficult. The success rate of this realm was one in a thousand.


    Needless to say, there might not even be one Nascent Soul cultivator in several eras.


    The current Venerable Nascent Soul was a veteran who had emerged after 1,000 years and 100 eras.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude was average. He had no confidence in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. If he spent another ten years cultivating the Three-Yang Body, he felt that he would basically be done for.


    Therefore, although the Pure Yang Manual was very rare, after summarizing various considerations, he felt that he should cultivate the Five Elements Technique obediently.


    The good example, Master Qing Ping, was right in front of him. With this most common Qi Refinement-Realm cultivation technique, if he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he would switch to cultivating the Pure Jade Scripture. It would not be a bad path to immortality.


    Meanwhile, Old Ding was a bad example. His experience was to be taken as an warning.


    After persuading himself in his heart, Chen Mobai resisted the urge to log into his main account and exchange points for the Pure Yang Manual afterwards.


    However, even though he thought so, he could not help but download the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the cultivation of the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    At least he could kill time in class today.


    ¡°It happens to be Old Ding¡¯s class today. I¡¯ll ask him about the Three-Yang Body.¡±


    As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, he pressed on the Return to City button.


    In the teacher¡¯s office.


    ¡°Teacher Ding, you were a disciple of Pure Yang College. I wonder what¡¯s the difference between this college and the four major Dao Colleges?¡±


    After class, Chen Mobai followed his old pattern and was a step behind. When he turned into the teacher¡¯s office to ask how to break the lightning restriction, he pretended to be curious and asked casually.


    ¡°Actually, according to the size of the students and the strength of the teachers, the top ten academies are already no different from the four major Dao Colleges.¡±


    Old Ding was a good teacher. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, he told him what he knew.


    ¡°In that case, do they differ in terms of cultivation techniques?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, wanting to steer the topic to the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°The Taiyuan Academy and Pure Yang Academy also have Soul Formation techniques. Their techniques are on par with the inheritances of the four Dao Colleges.¡±


    Old Ding shook his head.


    ¡°Then what exactly is the difference?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not dare to mention the Pure Yang Avatar, so he could only follow Old Ding¡¯s words.


    ¡°The legacy of the four top Dao Colleges is the oldest, and each of them has a Soul Formation foundation. Meanwhile, the founders of the ten top academies are basically all from the four top Dao Colleges, so even if they surpass them for a moment, they still abide by their duty and don¡¯t dare to call themselves the fifth Dao College.¡±


    ¡°Then what are the Soul Formation foundations of the four top Dao Colleges?¡±


    There were all kinds of speculations on the Internet. Chen Mobai thought that Old Ding knew about it, so he continued to ask in order to bring the topic back to the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°They¡¯re all top secret. Only those at the top know the exact situation. However, there are two Exalted Ones in the immortal sect. One is from the Dance Dao College, while the other studied at the Heaven Mending Dao College when he was young. He¡¯s still the nominal honorary dean of the Heaven Mending Dao College.¡±


    Everyone knew the origins of the two Soul Formation Patriarchs.


    ¡°However, I know that the Pure Yang Academy has a superior-grade Rank-5 Yuan Yang Sword. It can also be classified as a Soul Formation foundation!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was worrying about how to change the topic, Old Ding started to talk about what happened at the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°In the entire immortal sect, there are only three superior-grade Rank-5 flying swords. The Yuan Yang Sword was only refined after Patriarch Yuan Yang burned his entire Dao Fruit before he passed away. It is intelligent.¡±


    ¡°Patriarch Yuan Yang¡¯s eldest disciple once controlled this intelligent flying sword. Anyone below the Soul Formation Realm can be killed with one strike.¡±


    ¡°However, refining this sword requires at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, if you refine it for a long time, it will greatly damage your essence energy and is not conducive to cultivation. Therefore, when I entered the academy, this sword had already been sealed to be worshiped in the hall. I was lucky enough to worship it once.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt sad.


    A superior-grade Rank-5 flying sword was actually sealed because no one refined it.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that those who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar are filled with essence energy? Why can¡¯t they refine the Yuan Yang Sword?¡±


    ¡°One still has to completely master the Pure Yang Avatar. Even the Venerable Nascent Soul with the Nine-Yang Body can¡¯t withstand the absorption of spiritual energy from the Yuan Yang Sword every day and night. If one doesn¡¯t even have enough spiritual energy to cultivate, how can they give half of their spiritual energy to the flying sword?¡±


    Old Ding rolled his eyes. What he said made Chen Mobai instantly empathize.


    If it were him, he would definitely not agree to give half of his spiritual power he painstakingly absorbed and cultivated every day to the Yuan Yang Sword before he completed his Great Dao.


    In addition, this Yuan Yang Sword could only be refined by a Nascent Soul expert, and a Nascent Soul expert would make advancing to the Soul Formation Realm their first goal. How could they waste half of their cultivation time on a flying sword?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that if a Dharma treasure isn¡¯t provided with spiritual energy for a long time, its grade will drop? In that case, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of Patriarch Yuan Yang¡¯s sacrifice?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, every Rank-5 Dharma treasure is a Material Cultural Heritage item of the immortal sect. Every year, the immortal sect will allocate a sum of Spirit Stones from the National Bank to let the Pure Yang Academy nurture the Yuan Yang Sword so that it won¡¯t drop in grade. Unfortunately, this sum of Spirit Stones is specialized and can only be used exclusively. Otherwise, the Pure Yang Academy can at least save half the time of the students who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.¡±

 Chapter 29 - Insufficient Points

    Chapter 29 Insufficient Points


    ¡°Can Spirit Stones also shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°The ¡®Pure Yang Avatar¡¯ is actually a type of cultivation technique, and no cultivation technique can lack spiritual energy. The reason why I spent 20 years cultivating the Three-Yang Body is because I wasted time refining spiritual energy when transforming my Spiritual Root. With the help of Spirit Stones, I would have been able to save at least 10 years of hard work.¡±


    Old Ding did not hide anything and told Chen Mobai about his 20 years of experience in the academy.


    It turned out that when one cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar, they also needed spiritual energy to transform their Spiritual Root. Without Spirit Stones, when their spiritual energy was exhausted, they would need to convert and absorb spiritual energy at the same time.


    Why didn¡¯t Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s video mention this?


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but find it strange, but he immediately reacted.


    The Spirit Stones on Planet Earth had basically all been taken back by the country. Ordinary cultivators did not have them at all.


    Since they didn¡¯t have Spiritual Stones, there was naturally no need to talk about them.


    In that case, the Pure Yang Manual was not impossible for Chen Mobai to cultivate.


    There was indeed no way to obtain a large number of Spirit Stones in the Immortal Sect, but it was different in the Heavenly River Realm.


    According to the Jade Wave Mansion Accounts that Chen Mobai had read, the cultivation world there did not seem to lack Spirit Stones. Even a third-rate sect like the Flying Needle Sect could distribute Spirit Stones to every disciple as a benefit.


    However, if he wanted to obtain Spirit Stones, he had to leave the water mansion and come into contact with the true cultivation world in the Heavenly River Realm.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai hesitated again.


    He thought of the two Heavenly River Realm cultivators who had died in the water mansion not long ago. It seemed normal for them to turn on others and stab others in the back. Their words also told of the chaos and disorder in the Eastern Wastelands.


    The Heavenly River Realm should still be in the era of feudal civilization. There might be danger everywhere.


    He might be beaten to death as soon as he left the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself and asked how many Spirit Stones were needed to cultivate the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. After all, I only heard Senior mention this matter back then and didn¡¯t personally experience it. I might have to look up some ancient books to confirm it.¡±


    Old Ding frowned and shook his head.


    About 5,000 years ago, Spirit Stones were still circulating normally in the market. In that era, there were cultivators who used Spirit Stones to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar. However, it might take some effort to find such ancient information.


    Chen Mobai nodded and decided to go back and look for it. If he didn¡¯t need many Spirit Stones, he would consider switching to the Pure Yang Manual after reaching the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    At that moment, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    As soon as Old Ding finished speaking, his disciple, Song Zheng, opened the door.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    At the door, Song Zheng bowed to Old Ding politely. Then, he looked at Chen Mobai and frowned slightly, as if wondering why he was here. ¡°Teacher Ding, I¡¯ll ask you about the lightning restriction next time.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also very observant and did not stay any longer, disturbing their conversation.


    Although they were classmates, his relationship with Song Zheng was only so-so. It was mainly because the latter was a hardworking person and would not waste time on socializing. They both nodded as a greeting. After leaving the office, before the first batch of third-year students in the cultivation room came out, Chen Mobai returned to the classroom. He turned on his phone and typed in the keyword, searching for the relationship between the Pure Yang Avatar and Spirit Stones.


    In the end, he found a relevant post on a forum.


    The title of the post was: ¡°How long does it take to master the Pure Yang Avatar?¡±


    It seemed that a new student of Pure Yang Academy was asking for guidance from his seniors.


    There were more than 50 replies to the post, and one of them was from a Pure Yang Academy student with a good family background. He mentioned that using Spirit Stones could shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.


    [My ancestors participated in the exploration war and stored some Spirit Stones in the bank. After I entered the Pure Yang Academy, my family was very excited, so they took them all out for me to cultivate. Based on my experience, I have some data for reference.]


    (For a One-Yang Body, if you want the best results in transforming your Spiritual Root, you need nine Spirit Stones. These nine Spirit Stones are used in accordance with the order in which your Spiritual Root is transformed. This way, the effect will be the best. Basically, you can increase your fire attribute points by nine points in the end. This stage takes a month.]


    [A Two-Yang Body requires a lot more Spirit Stones. Because I don¡¯t have enough Spirit Stones at home, I had to refine spiritual energy to pass this stage. In the end, it took me a year and three months.]


    (Due to the fact that I had no Spirit Stones when working towards the Three-Yang Body, I had to cultivate diligently and sat idle for six years before achieving success.)


    This anonymous cultivator was five years shorter than Perfected One Ming Yang, who had cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar for the shortest time without using Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai was instantly tempted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a look outside the water mansion first. If I can get Spirit Stones, I¡¯ll try to cultivate.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to rest in peace, could not hold back.


    After all, there were only two months left until the college entrance examination. His chances of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm were very slim. If he could master the One-Yang Body, he might be able to obtain an admission notice from Pure Yang Academy. At the thought of this, he could not help but log into his main account in the National Library. However, he was reminded that he did not have enough points and could not exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°Eh, why does a Qi Refinement cultivation technique require so many points?¡±


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s impression, the Qi Refinement chapter of the Five Elements Technique only cost 500 points. He had more than 3,000 points in his main account, so it should be more than enough to exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    In the end, he realized that he needed 10,000 points.


    Then, he looked at the next four chapters. Good God.


    The Foundation Establishment chapter cost 100,000 points, the Core Formation chapter cost 1 million points, the Nascent Soul chapter cost 10 million points, and the Soul Formation chapter cost 100 million points. Moreover, one needed the corresponding level of permissions to download it.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s main account in the National Library, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±, was certified as a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. Even if he had 100 million points in his account, he could only download the Qi Refinement Chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sell that Spirit Stone first. Coincidentally, Goumang Dao College will put up the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water every day during this period of time. I¡¯ll use my Karma Points to buy it. At that time, I¡¯ll use the spiritual water to increase my cultivation and use the points I earned to exchange for the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s initiative was typically average, he had always been decisive when it came to his cultivation.


    The Spirit Stone was like firewood in his hand. It was only valuable when used.


    He decided that under the premise of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, he would cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar if possible.


    One of the two Spirit Stones he had obtained from the water mansion had been consumed when he broke through to Qi Refinement Level-6. There was still a complete and unopened one left. If he went to the National Bank to exchange it, he would receive 10,000 Karma Points.


    If it was placed on the market, due to the short supply, it could be sold for at least one to two thousand Karma Points.

 Chapter 30 - Spirit Stone Exchange

    Chapter 30 Spirit Stone Exchange


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai decided to exchange the Spiritual Stone at the bank.


    There was no other reason.


    This was because the immortal sect would give him points if he exchanged the Spirit Stone at the bank.


    They would give as many points as the amount of Karma Points he would receive. The points system was originally developed by the immortal sect in order to collect all the Spirit Stones from the commoners and nationalize them.


    After exchanging a Spirit Stone, the bank would give him 10,000 points. After spending it, another 10,000 points would be credited, which gave him double the profit.


    After school, he walked into the National Bank¡¯s Danxia City branch.


    ¡°Hello, sir. How may I help you?¡±


    In the bank, a short-haired young lady in a uniform with a sweet smile immediately walked over and asked kindly when she saw Chen Mobai standing in front of the machine that issued queue numbers.


    ¡°The matter I want to handle doesn¡¯t seem to be available.¡±


    ¡°May I ask, sir, what business do you require?¡¯


    ¡°I want to exchange a Spirit Stone.¡±


    ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry, but the service to exchange for Spirit Stones hasn¡¯t been opened yet.¡±


    The short-haired girl¡¯s smile didn¡¯t waver. She looked apologetic.


    ¡°No, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I want to exchange a Spirit Stone, not exchange for a Spirit Stone.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    After she reacted, her smile suddenly became stiff. When Chen Mobai saw this, he couldn¡¯t help but shrug.


    It took her two or three seconds to gather her wits enough to speak carefully for confirmation.


    ¡°Um, would you like to exchange Spirit Stones for Karma Points?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Excuse me, please come this way and sit for a moment. I¡¯ll get the manager.¡±


    The short-haired girl immediately raised her hand and led Chen Mobai to a small room separated by transparent glass. After he sat down, she poured him a cup of tea.


    At this moment, a man in a suit who had received the news walked over. After entering, he first extended his hand to Chen Mobai and introduced himself.


    ¡°Hello, sir. I¡¯m¡­¡±


    An hour later, Chen Mobai walked out of the bank with a satisfied expression.


    The exchange of Spirit Stones had always been the top task of the bank. Chen Mobai took out his Spirit Stones for the other party to appraise. After confirming that it had never been used, the rest of the processes were much more convenient.


    First, Chen Mobai explained the origin of this Spirit Stone.


    Chen Mobai brought up his ancestor again. He said that his ancestor had saved it when he was participating in the war. Now, it was in his hands.


    The bank would just record it and wouldn¡¯t really investigate.


    After confirming that Chen Mobai was a good citizen and that there was no problem with his application, he went through the process.


    Although Chen Mobai only needed to sit and someone would help him complete the procedures, it still took him a full hour to transfer the Karma Points and points to his account.


    Chen Mobai had originally wanted to exchange the empty shell of the Spirit Stone that he had used. The immortal sect had the technology to inject spiritual energy into Spirit Stones, so he thought that the bank would also buy it.


    However, the man in the suit told him that this service was the same as exchanging points for Spirit Stones. It would only be available when there was a war.


    Chen Mobai could only feel that this was a pity.


    However, looking at the five-digit account balance displayed in the latest text message on his phone, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He¡¯d never had so many Karma Points.


    However, he did not get carried away. After being happy, he first exchanged for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from the National Library using his main account. However, it was not convenient to read it on the road, so he could only take a look.


    When he was about to reach home, he saw the pharmacy where he bought the spiritual power test paper last time.


    The cultivation of the Three-Yang Body would transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root, and the extent of the transformation depended on one¡¯s spiritual energy and luck. It was best to be able to monitor the values at all times.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and walked in.


    ¡°Hello ¡­ Oh, you¡¯re here?¡±


    He saw that there was no one at the counter and was about to shout when the young woman in the white nurse¡¯s uniform he had seen last time came out of the back door. She was holding a large iron pot and a large box of small glass tubes.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve set up a small array formation at the door. If anyone comes in, the alchemy room will automatically prompt me.¡±


    When the girl saw that it was Chen Mobai, she recalled what had happened last time. She first placed the things in her hands on the counter, then cast a Cleaning Spell to remove the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to greet him.


    She was still wearing a mask, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, her eyebrows were elegant, and her eyes were clear. After meeting her eyes, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind calmed down. The impatience in his heart, which had suddenly become rich, had unknowingly dissipated.


    ¡°What would you like to buy? Are you buying spiritual power test papers again?¡±


    ¡°No. Do you have a spiritual testing instrument?¡±


    ¡°This stuff is expensive. Do you run a cram school?¡±


    The girl looked at Chen Mobai with confusion in her eyes. The spiritual power test paper was a one-time use item, but the spirit testing instrument was different. It could be used all the time. Usually, only those who ran cultivation tuition classes for children would buy this thing. After all, they had to use it in large quantities and teach the children according to their talent.


    ¡°I want to cultivate a technique to improve my Spiritual Root. I need to constantly check my Spiritual Root attribute points.¡±


    ¡°A technique to improve your Spiritual Root? Does such a cultivation technique exist?¡±


    The girl seemed to be about the same age as Chen Mobai. She had not gone to university yet, so she did not know the cultivation technique to purify her Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Yes, my Spiritual Root aptitude is ordinary. I¡¯m about to take the college entrance examination. My chances of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm are slim. I can only see if I can improve my Spiritual Root. I hope I can enter the top ten academies.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the girl nodded and walked to a medicine cabinet. She squatted down and took out a well-wrapped spiritual testing instrument from the drawer.


    ¡°That¡¯ll be 580 Karma Points.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the price, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wondered if he had been too impulsive.


    The spiritual power test paper cost five Karma Points per piece. He could buy more than a hundred pieces with the cost of this spiritual testing instrument.


    However, after thinking about it, if he cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar, this was definitely indispensable. It was not very environmentally friendly to always use one-time spiritual power test papers. Thus, he gritted his teeth and bought it.


    When Qing N¨¹ saw Chen Mobai¡¯s conflicted expression as he paid, she knew that he was not from a rich family. A thought couldn¡¯t help but appear in her mind.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t this person bargaining?¡±


    She had originally thought that if Chen Mobai bargained, she would give him a discount of 10 Karma Points.


    However, she would not take the initiative to return the money. When she saw the notification sound of her phone, alerting her that the money had entered her account, her clear eyes narrowed with laughter.


    After confirming that Chen Mobai had no other needs, she walked to the counter and picked up the large iron pot with one hand. She poured a pot of freshly refined spiritual water into the small glass tubes through a pitcher, then sealed the tubes with a wooden stopper. Finally, she used a ¡°Sealing Spell¡± to ensure that the spiritual water would not leak. Chen Mobai thought, ¡°Is it the Spirit Returning Water again?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered what she had said last time and thought to himself. He did not ask. After all, he had only communicated with her twice and was not very familiar with her.


    With the spiritual testing instrument in hand, he walked straight out of the pharmacy door.


    However, he felt that there was something familiar about the scene of the girl infusing spiritual water.


    What exactly was it that struck him as familiar?

 Chapter 31 - The Truth Is Simple, The Fakes Are Long-Winded

    Chapter 31 The Truth Is Simple, The Fakes Are Long-Winded


    After returning home, Chen Mobai removed the packaging of the spiritual testing instrument and injected a stream of spiritual power to activate it. After confirming that it was functioning normally, he stuffed it into his small bag.


    However, he did not go to the water mansion immediately today.


    Instead, he took out his phone first and ordered some clothes.


    Since Chen Mobai planned to interact with the cultivators of the Heavenly River Realm, he naturally had to blend in with them first. His attire could not be too outstanding.


    Although his school uniform was also quite simple, it was completely different from the style of the old man and young man who had died in the water mansion last time. As he compared the available choices with the clothes of the two people in his memory, Chen Mobai chose a grayish-white ancient costume online.


    After placing the order for the ancient costume, he did not forget to buy shoes.


    Finally, he looked in the mirror and saw the incongruity again.


    His neat buzz-cut hairstyle did not match the ancient costume at all. He could only order two more sets of long wigs and some crown-binding hair accessories. Then, he was finally fully equipped.


    However, it would take at least two more days for the goods to arrive.


    Chen Mobai could only meditate in the water mansion today and could not go out.


    In a flash of silver, he was back in the Heavenly River Realm.


    Sensing the water spiritual energy around him that was several times denser than at home, he could not help but take a deep breath and sit on the meditation cushion.


    He took out his phone and started flipping through the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    The document began with a page of [Reading Instructions).


    Although all the cultivation techniques in the National Library were exchanged by cultivators with points, they could only be cultivated by themselves and not taught to others. If one agreed with this view, they could agree to the instructions and continue reading


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed. This could be considered a small Dao heart oath.


    If a cultivator violated the rules and gave the cultivation technique he downloaded to others to cultivate, it would go against his own intentions.


    The more the cultivation technique spread, the more obstacles the cultivator would face in the future.


    It was not a big deal when one¡¯s realm was low. However, once one reached the Core Formation Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, it was very easy to trigger mental demons and fail.


    It was also because of this that although it was easy to obtain cultivation techniques and knowledge in the immortal sect, cultivators basically exchanged them with points or Karma Points.


    Chen Mobai first read the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from beginning to end. He compared it with the Five Elements Technique he cultivated and realized that this was indeed more profound. He could not understand it completely.


    Of course, this might also be because Chen Mobai had watched Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture videos several times recently and had a very thorough understanding of the Five Elements Technique.


    He still needed to attend class seriously.


    He opened the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and chose Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s column. He began to systematically learn about the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual by comparing it with the notes of this person.


    Just like the Black Water Technique, the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual had three accompanying spells, as well as the Three-Yang Body that could transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    The Dharma spells were the Fire Lighting Spell, the Blaze Spell, and the Fireball Spell.


    The first topic was naturally the Three-Yang Body. This was the foundation of the foundation and the most important.


    After Chen Mobai listened to the lecture once, he instantly understood.


    As expected, the truth was simple, while fakes were long-winded. Under the detailed explanation of Daoist Shao Yang, Chen Mobai suddenly understood what he did not understand previously.


    When transforming one¡¯s Spiritual Root with the Three-Yang Body, one first needed to transform the water Spiritual Root into a wood Spiritual Root, and then transform the wood Spiritual Root into a fire Spiritual Root. The subtle difference between these two steps was that if Chen Mobai did not listen to Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s explanation, even if he succeeded, the efficiency of the transformation would definitely not be high.


    When Old Ding transformed his Spiritual Root with the One-Yang Body, it was because of this that the fire attribute points in his Spiritual Root only increased by six points in the end. Even though it was only three points away from the maximum nine points, it might be because of this three-point deviation that he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Therefore, after Chen Mobai finished listening, in order to confirm that he had not missed anything, he found explanation videos from two Golden Core Daoists who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual. After comparing the content, he gained a lot.


    ¡°If I can break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, it¡¯s not impossible to cultivate the Pure Yang Manual.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. There were 84,000 Daoist books in the immortal sect. Although the Pure Yang Manual was not the first in terms of combat, and the cultivation speed was only average, it was still a promising path. Moreover, the predecessors were experienced. He could follow their experiences if he faced any obstacles and bottlenecks in cultivation. Thus, it was most suitable for people with high permissions like him.


    With that thought, his faith in getting out of the water mansion deepened.


    He had to earn enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm.


    ¡°However, the most important thing now is to advance to Qi Refinement Level-7.¡±


    Perhaps because he had used Spirit Pills to break through, after Chen Mobai entered Qi Refinement Level-6, he did not feel as weak as when he had taken the Purple Fire Pill.


    However, he had always been a cautious person. He still used the Qi Nurturing Spell to cultivate for two days. It was only today when he felt the spiritual power in his meridians that he decided to take the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±.


    He opened the compartment of his bag and took out two glass tubes the length and thickness of his index fingers.


    The mouths of the tubes were stoppered with a wooden cork, and there was a mouthful of colorless liquid inside. It was the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    Chen Mobai popped the cork and gulped the liquid down.


    The texture was like plain water, but it contained a faint bitter medicinal taste that he could not quite accept.


    After drinking it, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.


    As he circulated the Five Elements Techniques, his meridians and acupoints instantly felt hungry for spiritual energy. The dense spiritual energy in the water mansion rushed into Chen Mobai¡¯s body like wisps of smoke.


    Chen Mobai felt that the efficiency of his spiritual power cultivation had increased by nearly ten times. The water vein spiritual energy continuously gathered around him, vaguely turning into mist and causing his entire body to be shrouded in a hazy fog. However, a colorful and warm treasure light seeped out of his skin. It was the sign that he had cultivated the Five Elements Technique to a profound level.


    Ordinary late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators did not have such an aura when they circulated the Five Elements Technique.


    It was also because this was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual vein treasure land with abundant spiritual energy.


    If he was at home, at least half of the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water would have been wasted.


    After six full cycles, the mist and spiritual energy around Chen Mobai began to slowly dissipate, and the efficiency of refining spiritual energy returned to normal.


    This meant that the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water had been completely exhausted.


    He circulated two more cycles. He really could not stand the cultivation efficiency that was as slow as a turtle compared to before. Thus, he stopped and opened his eyes.


    ¡°Unfortunately, this thing needs to be snapped up. Although I exchanged the Spirit Stone for Karma Points I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be lucky enough to get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had a bottle of Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, but he could only take one bottle a day. He was prepared to put it back in his bag. However, just as his hand touched the glass tube containing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his eyes suddenly widened.


    Wasn¡¯t this glass tube the same one that the young lady in the white nurse¡¯s uniform had used to store the liquid from the large iron pot at the pharmacy?!


    No wonder he found that scene familiar. He was familiar with this glass tube.


    What she sealed was not the ¡°Spirit Returning Water¡±, but the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±!


    Wasn¡¯t this thing sold directly by Goumang Dao Academy? Could her small pharmacy actually refine it?

 Chapter 32 - Chen Xinglan

    Chapter 32 Chen Xinglan


    The Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water was only a Rank-1 Spirit Pill.


    The pill formula was also written on the glass bottle. However, in the entire immortal sect, only cultivators from Goumang Dao Academy and the Imperial Medicine Palace could master the refinement.


    The girl in the white nurse¡¯s uniform had not gone to university yet. She was about the same age as Chen Mobai. She shouldn¡¯t have been the one to extract and mix it.


    Chen Mobai thought back to his two purchases at that pharmacy.


    The girl said she had a master who was an alchemist.


    She should be working as an assistant. The spirit water in the front was refined by her master, and she was the one who completed the final packing process. He happened to see


    it.


    Chen Mobai made this guess in his heart.


    He picked up the empty glass tube and put it in his bag.


    Then, he took out the needle case.


    It had been more than a month since he obtained this Dharma artifact. After knowing that it was controlled by magnetism, other than reading and studying, he was exploring the usage of this Dharma artifact in the cultivation room in school.


    Hard work paid off. He was basically familiar with the needle case and the 12 flying needles.


    When all three were fired, it was a normal attack.


    In this state, he only needed very little spiritual power to use the magnetic force of the needle box and perfectly control the flying needle. The flying needles could be fast or slow, and they could achieve the effect of a bullet at their fastest speed. He had tested it before. At this speed, the flying needles could easily penetrate the floor tiles of the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai could fire at most six needles.


    It was not that he could not control more, but that he could not do it with ease. Instead, the needles would interfere with one another and their power would decrease.


    However, he had never practiced the true power of this set of Dharma artifacts before, so he did not know.


    The immortal sect had been peaceful for a long time. If he wanted to test the power of the Dharma artifact, he could only go to those specialized clubs, but all of them charged a fee. Chen Mobai did not want to waste his Karma Points on this.


    After practicing with the needle case for a while, Chen Mobai was prepared to put it away when he suddenly thought of something


    He took out his phone again and entered the keywords for magnetism in the Auxiliary Cultivation app. As expected, he found a few documents that used spiritual power to control magnetism. There were even two demonstration videos.


    After spending two hours reading all the documents and watching all the videos, Chen Mobai learned a lot. When he used the needle case again, he was actually able to control eight flying needles at the same time.


    He felt that if he digested all the experiences of controlling the magnetic force uploaded by others, it would only be a matter of time before he completely controlled the 12 flying needles.


    Unfortunately, it was almost dawn on Planet Earth. Chen Mobai had to rush to class.


    ¡°Sigh, I actually feel that going to school is dragging down my cultivation progress.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly understood why Yan Bingxuan had dropped out of school. After reaching the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, the free cultivation rooms provided by the school were no longer of much use, and knowledge could be slowly replenished after entering university.


    After all, in the immortal sect, one¡¯s cultivation realm was the most important.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the representatives of the Dao Colleges and academies would set questions on all four subjects during the college entrance examination and select students based on their performance, those late-stage Qi Refinement-Realm geniuses probably wouldn¡¯t have come to the school at all.


    ¡°I just don¡¯t know which section will be tested this year.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s college entrance examination papers were the same, but the college entrance examination scores were only the entry requirements for the various schools.


    Only when one¡¯s college entrance examination score was sufficient and one¡¯s realm met the lowest requirements could they choose to fill in certain Dao Colleges and academies as their choice.


    Then, there was also the entrance examination of the various Dao Colleges and academies. Half of them had tested on array formations last year.


    Chen Mobai felt that the probability of being issued a Dharma spell examination this year was very high. However, although he had chosen the Dharma Spell department, his results had always been neither good nor bad. Even if he managed to guess correctly, it would probably be useless.


    ¡°Sigh, I should think of a way to break through to Qi Refinement Level-7 first.¡±


    After breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, no matter how bad their college entrance examination results were, they should be able to enter the last few schools in the ten top academies. It could be considered as bringing honor to their ancestors and making their parents happy for a long time.


    After returning to his room, Chen Mobai pretended to have just woken up. After washing up, he was about to go to school when he suddenly realized that his father was making breakfast in the kitchen.


    ¡°Eh, Dad, are you on leave? Didn¡¯t you say that the factory has been quite busy recently?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s father, Chen Xinglan, was a middle-aged man with a square face. He was neither tall nor short, fat nor thin. Although the father and son had not seen each other for long, their relationship was very good.


    ¡°You¡¯re up pretty early. I¡¯m almost done here. Go up and call your mother.¡±


    Chen Xinglan did not stop what he was doing. He turned off the stove and brought a pot of steamed yolk-filled buns to the dining table.


    ¡°Coming, coming. No need to call me.¡±


    Tang Pancui came down from the second floor with a basket of clothes that needed to be washed. Her voice reached them before she arrived.


    ¡°Son, how¡¯s your cultivation these days?¡±


    At the dining table, the family of three gathered together for a rare meal.


    Chen Xinglan casually asked about Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation situation. The latter did not hide anything and said that he had already broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6.


    ¡°Eh, didn¡¯t you just advance to Qi Refinement Level-5 during the summer vacation? How did you break through again in just a month?¡±


    Chen Xinglan had originally planned to ask his son about his cultivation and tell him the good news, but he did not expect Chen Mobai to give him the good news first. ¡°I think it was during the summer holidays. After I went to the temple in our hometown to offer incense, I felt enlightened. My understanding of the Five Elements Technique suddenly deepened.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were half-truths, but now that he said it, he felt that it might be necessary to return to his hometown during the winter vacation.


    Since the turtle shell belonged to that temple, perhaps the abbot who was fighting with his mother over the incense was an otherworldly expert.


    ¡°I told you. That temple is very spiritual. Our village chief¡¯s son was born almost out of breath¡­¡±


    Tang Pancui had completely forgotten that Chen Mobai had been hospitalized because of the turtle shell, and she had cursed at that temple. Instead, she began to talk non-stop about the legends she had heard about that temple when she was young.


    Meanwhile, Chen Xinglan did not want to listen to this at all. After he coughed lightly and interrupted, a Qi Refinement Level-9 aura erupted from his body.


    ¡°You broke through, Dad.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked excited.


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s aptitude was slightly better than his. He had 34 fire attribute points, which made it the top attribute. However, he failed the college entrance examination and studied for another year before being admitted to the local Crimson Afterglow Academy


    Unfortunately, he fell behind step by step. He stayed in the Crimson Afterglow Academy for ten years and barely broke through to Qi Refinement Level-7. Then, he had no choice but to join the army and explore the sea.


    However, fortune and misfortune came together. It was when he was exploring the sea that he met Tang Pancui. The two of them fell in love and became husband and wife.


    After ten years, Chen Xinglan brought Tang Pancui back to Danxia City. Then, Chen Mobai was born the next year.


    It was also the birth of the child that raised Chen Xinglan¡¯s mental state and allowed him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-8.


    Now that Chen Mobai was 18 years old, he had finally reached Qi Refinement Level-9. Next, he could start preparing for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

 Chapter 33 - Three Foundation Establishment Treasures

    Chapter 33 Three Foundation Establishment Treasures


    ¡°I¡¯m 57 years old this year. I¡¯m still three years away from the limit at the age of 60. Although I know that the possibility of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm is not high, this is the only chance I have in my life. I won¡¯t be satisfied until I take a gamble.¡±


    At the dining table, Chen Xinglan said regretfully.


    If any cultivator in the immortal sect broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9 before the age of 60, they would basically fight to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Dad, I hope to see you become a true Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.¡±


    In the immortal sect, only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm could one step into the true threshold of cultivation and be known as a ¡°true cultivator¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9 too late. If you had broken through a few years earlier, you might have been able to prepare more.¡±


    As Tang Pancui spoke, she looked regretful.


    At Qi Refinement Level-9, one could activate their Qi and attempt to build a foundation. However, the success rate of breaking through would definitely be higher after reaching perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I know that my success rate is less than ten percent, but I have to try. After breaking through yesterday, I¡¯ve already agreed with my boss to resign. For the next three years, I¡¯ll go to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to cultivate in seclusion and use up my chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    However, Chen Xinglan was very open-minded. Chen Mobai and Tang Pancui looked at each other, but they could only nod.


    After all, this was Chen Xinglan¡¯s only chance to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm in his life. They would definitely support him wholeheartedly.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already graduated for almost 30 years. I wonder if the Crimson Afterglow Academy will acknowledge you as a student!¡±


    Tang Pancui looked hesitant. She was somewhat worried.


    In the immortal sects, whether it was the four top Dao Colleges, the ten top academies, or the 120 schools below them, the students who had been officially accepted by them would all provide them a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    With this opportunity, other than being provided with an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein abode, they would also be provided with Spirit Pills that could increase the success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Although the immortal sect prohibited the refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills, they had also developed a set of prescriptions that could replace Foundation Establishment Pills.


    They were the Meridian Protection Pill, the Spirit Ascension Powder, and the Qi Condensation Liquid!


    Among them, the ¡°Meridian Protection Pill¡± could save the life of a cultivator who failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    After consuming the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡±, it could increase a cultivator¡¯s divine sense for a short period of time, allowing them to control their spiritual power more easily.


    Meanwhile, the ¡°Qi Condensation Liquid¡± would facilitate the liquefaction of a cultivator¡¯s spiritual energy. If all the spiritual energy in their dantian was liquefied, it would represent success in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    This entire set of pills was called the ¡°Three Foundation Establishment Treasures¡±!


    Every once in a while, the official flagship store of the immortal sect would release a batch of this set that could be bought with points.


    As for the remaining online pharmacies, the Goumang Dao College and the Imperial Medicine Palance, one had to use Karma Points to buy these items. On average, each of them cost 800,000 Karma Points. Even at such an expensive price, they were still in short supply and needed to be snapped up.


    This was because every time the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures were successfully refined, the various Dao Colleges and academies would first take their share. Only then would the remaining items flow into the market.


    Meanwhile, after the Dao Colleges and academies took the items, it was naturally for their students to use.


    Although Chen Xinglan had already graduated 30 years ago, since he had never reached Qi Refinement Level-9 before, the opportunity to reach the Foundation Establishment had remained in the school and had never been used.


    If he did not succeed in breaking through in this lifetime, it would automatically become invalid. The Dao Colleges and academies did not approve of future generations inheriting such an opportunity.


    After all, the immortal sect was short of resources.


    Thus, even if it was based on the principle of not wasting his opportunity, Chen Xinglan would definitely try to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Which of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures are you going to choose, Dad?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. The Crimson Afterglow Academy would only provide one of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Of course, the choice was in the hands of the cultivator.


    ¡°Choose the Meridian Protection Pill.¡±


    Tang Pancui spoke first. This was chosen by 99% of people.


    After all, in Chen Xinglan¡¯s situation, the possibility of successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was really not high. In that case, the ¡°Meridian Protection Pill¡± that could save his life would definitely be the first choice.


    ¡°Okay, okay. Whatever you say.¡±


    This was also what Chen Xinglan was thinking. He really did not have much confidence in himself.


    ¡°There are still nearly 300,000 Karma Points in our family account. We¡¯ll apply for a loan of 500,000 Karma Points from the bank, and you can buy a ¡®Qi Condensation Liquid¡¯ from the academy. With this, you can at least take that step to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    Tang Pancui spoke again. This was the good thing about being a disciple of a Dao College or academy. During the first opportunity at advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, if one had enough Karma Points, they could also spend them to buy the remaining two types of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    Of course, this was only available on the first attempt.


    If they failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and wanted to try again in the future, the Dao Colleges and academies would not care about them. Cultivators would have to think of a way to buy these treasures from the market.


    However, Chen Xinglan shook his head. Although the couple worked from dawn to dusk and saved up all their Karma Points, their original intention was to use it when they were in the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    However, Tang Pancui had been stuck at Qi Refinement Level-6 for more than 30 years and had given up. Meanwhile, although Chen Xinglan had reached Qi Refinement Level-9, the success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was extremely slim. Thus, he did not want to waste these savings at all.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Leave this money for our son to use when he attempts the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future. He¡¯s at Qi Refinement Level-6 now, so he¡¯ll definitely be able to enter one of the academies. The two of us will work hard for another ten years. When the time comes, we¡¯ll gather 800,000 Karma Points. With a bank loan, we¡¯ll give him a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Perhaps the Chen family can produce another Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator after a hundred years.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes turn red, but he immediately stood up and shook his head.


    ¡°Dad, you should use the Karma Points for yourself. I¡¯m going to enter one of the Dao Colleges. When the time comes, they will distribute the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. You don¡¯t need to prepare them for me.¡±


    As the top of the immortal sect and also the oldest universities, the student benefits were naturally the best in the four top Dao Colleges. They would be distributed a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    Meanwhile, the ten top academies would distribute two of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    As for the 120 schools, such as the local Danzhu College or the Crimson Afterglow Academy, they would only distribute one of the treasures.


    It was precisely because of this that every student made the four top Dao Colleges their


    goal.


    According to the samples taken by the Imperial Medicine Palace, if a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures was consumed, a cultivator who had achieved perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 had a 10% chance of successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Chen Mobai tried his best before finally persuading Chen Xinglan to use their savings to buy the ¡°Qi Condensation Liquid¡±.


    ¡°Alright, since my son has such ambition, I won¡¯t refuse.¡±


    Tang Pancui looked at the deep feelings between the father and son and couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous. Seeing that she was about to sob, Chen Mobai immediately changed the topic.


    ¡°So, Dad, when are you going to the Crimson Afterglow Academy?¡±


    When attempting to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein abode provided by the academy could be used for two years. Chen Xinglan definitely wouldn¡¯t waste these two years. He would probably have to wait until the last day before he could advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°The day after tomorrow. I¡¯ve also informed Baolan and Yulan about this. I want to say goodbye to them.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s grandparents had passed away early, but they had three children: Chen Xinglan, Chen Baolan, and Chen Yulan.

 Chapter 34 - Pickup

    Chapter 34 Pickup


    Chen Baolan was the uncle who had almost become an internet celebrity because he was too handsome. His Spiritual Root aptitude was similar to Chen Xinglan¡¯s, but because he was not burdened by love and family, he had tried to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 ten years ago. Unfortunately, he had failed.


    As for Chen Yulan, she married a wealthy businessman in the city and had a daughter.


    ¡°When will Uncle be back?¡±


    Of the three siblings, only Chen Baolan was away all year round. Once he returned, everyone was present. Thus, Tang Pancui asked about his whereabouts.


    ¡°His flight is the morning after tomorrow, so he should arrive in the afternoon. I¡¯ve already called for Yulan. We¡¯ll have dinner the day after tomorrow. Let¡¯s have a meal together as a farewell.¡±


    ¡°Blah, blah, blah. Why are you talking about a farewell? How unlucky.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened to his parents and thought about what he could do.


    ¡°By the way, Dad, I have a bottle of ¡®Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡¯ that I snapped up. You can use it at the Crimson Afterglow Academy too.¡±


    He remembered his unused bottle and immediately pulled it out of his bag.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite lucky to be able to snatch this thing. However, this bottle of yours is a middle-grade Rank-1 bottle. For someone at Qi Refinement Level-9, it can only shorten their Qi cultivation time by two to three days. Keep it for yourself.¡±


    Chen Xinglan took the bottle and looked at it. Then, he shook his head and handed it back to Chen Mobai.


    The ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± was the most traded medicine in the immortal sect every year. There were two levels of this medicine, each with three ranks. The price was also different based on its grade and rank. It was suitable for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Chen Xinglan was at Qi Refinement Level-9. This middle-grade Rank-1 ¡°Qi Replenishing Spirit Water¡± was ten times more efficient for Chen Mobai, but for him, it was only two or three times more effective.


    ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. In the past two years, I¡¯ll keep an eye on the flagship stores of those big pharmacies when I¡¯m free. Once a superior-grade Rank-1 Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water is released, I¡¯ll immediately buy it.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not using Turtle Treasure to activate an agent on the immortal sect network.


    Although it was useless to have high levels of permission to the immortal sect network and he still had to snap the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water up, at least the flagship store would inform him when it would be available in advance. He just had to wait for the right time to compete with other users in speed and luck.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you have the heart, but your own cultivation is the most important. Also, didn¡¯t you say you were going to the top Dao Colleges? You¡¯ll be leaving Danxia City then.¡±


    ¡°I can just send it to you after I snatch it.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered, but he knew that Chen Xinglan was telling the truth.


    ¡°The most important thing in cultivation is to be single-minded. If you keep thinking about snatching the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water every day, it will definitely delay your cultivation. This will make me feel guilty. If you activate your Qi with this state of mind, you will definitely fail to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    Chen Xinglan said solemnly, causing Chen Mobai to have no choice but to nod in agreement. If he could get into a good Dao College, he would definitely prioritize his own cultivation.


    However, as he said this, he thought of the young woman in the white nurse¡¯s uniform.


    ¡°By the way, I think I saw the shop assistant bottling the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water at the Evergreen Pharmacy at the entrance of the street. Can we buy it directly there?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked his parents.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. The manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 alchemist certified by the immortal sect. He has already signed a 20-year supply agreement with the Aquarius Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Danxia City. All the medicinal pills and spiritual water refined by him can only be exclusive to the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even his own shop can¡¯t sell them.¡±


    As expected, his mother was very clear about the matters in the neighborhood. Tang Pancui¡¯s words also made Chen Mobai feel dejected.


    ¡°He¡¯s already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why is he still selling himself!¡±


    ¡°What do you know? The Aquarius Pharmacy is a large pharmacy chain that has been authorized by Goumang Dao College. If alchemists want to improve, they need to spend a huge amount of materials. If they don¡¯t rely on a large pharmacy, how can they have a chance to practice?¡±


    As expected, Tang Pancui understood the situation very well. She spat and started lecturing Chen Mobai.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai completely gave up.


    He had thought that he would be able to find a way to buy the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    ¡°Then, Dad, have you exchanged for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Fuse Technique?¡±


    He thought of this matter again and asked. This cultivation technique of the Crimson Afterglow Academy could be cultivated to the Core Formation Realm at most. It was a cultivation technique that focused on refining weapons.


    ¡°I exchanged for it the day I broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9. By the way, son, have you decided on the cultivation technique after Qi Refinement Level-7? Is it still the Five Elements Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally did not hide anything from his parents and said that he had chosen the Pure Yang Manual. However, he did not say that he had already exchanged for it. After all, 10,000 points was not a small amount, and it was a little difficult to explain, so he simply did not say anything.


    ¡°Oh, son, you¡¯re getting more and more ambitious. Actually, the two top academies in Danxia City can be considered to have been separated from the Pure Yang Academy. If I cultivate my Fuse Technique to the end, I can also return to the path of the Pure Yang Manual. However, the cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar is really too torturous. You have to think carefully.¡±


    When Chen Xinglan was in the Crimson Afterglow Academy, he had seen many classmates who cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar. There were very few who succeeded.


    ¡°If I can cultivate the Three-Yang Avatar, I can increase my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm by 10%. I¡¯m cultivating for this reason.¡±


    Chen Mobai voiced his thoughts. His lifelong dream was to succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although cultivating the Pure Yang Avatar took a lot of time, it could increase the cultivator¡¯s success rate of breaking through a major realm.


    Now that he had obtained the opportunity from the turtle shell, he was confident that he could reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 before the age of 60. He decided to spend some effort on increasing his success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    If he could find enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm, the Pure Yang Manual would be the most suitable cultivation technique for him.


    ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t say anything. Tell you what, have your mother transfer you 10,000 Karma Points.¡±


    The immortal sect stipulated that everyone¡¯s points were personal and could not be shared. However, Karma Points could be transferred. Chen Xinglan asked Tang Pancui to transfer 10,000 Karma Points to Chen Mobai. This was so that he could first accumulate the points needed to exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual into his account.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. You¡¯re about to go to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It¡¯s time to use your Karma Points. Meanwhile, I¡¯ve just reached Qi Refinement Level-6, so it¡¯s still early for me to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm. Besides, when I want to use Karma Points, I¡¯ll naturally ask Mom¡­¡±


    After much persuasion, Chen Mobai finally stopped Chen Xinglan¡¯s act of entrusting him with these matters.


    wa


    The family of three talked for a while more. It was only when Chen Mobai was about to miss the last bus to school that he was chased out of the house by his parents.


    On this day after school, Chen Mobai did not go to the water mansion.


    It was rare for the family to be neat and tidy. Tang Pancui also got off work early and bought a lot of groceries to show off.


    Chen Xinglan became excited and even drank two bottles of wine.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t like the smell of alcohol, but he still drank two glasses with his old father.


    After class on the third day, Chen Mobai stopped pretending and simply did not go to the school¡¯s cultivation room.


    He was going to the airport to pick up his uncle, Chen Baolan.


    He still swiped his student card and took the public transport.


    However, as soon as he entered the airport, he realized that something was wrong.


    ¡°Why are there so many people!¡±

 Chapter 35 - Jade Phoenix Troupe

    Chapter 35 Jade Phoenix Troupe


    Chen Mobai looked around and discovered the reason.


    Many young male and female cultivators were holding different support signs with different names on them, but Chen Mobai saw two names he knew: Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°The Jade Phoenix Troupe is actually here. This is the number one theater troupe of the immortal sect.¡±


    The immortal sect inherited the previous cultural civilization and naturally had many entertainment activities. Coupled with the enhancement of immortal cultivation, there were countless handsome men and beautiful women. Those who transformed into celebrities in this civilization were those opera singers.


    Among them, the Jade Phoenix Troupe was the most outstanding opera troupe in the past ten years.


    Meng Huang¡¯er, who was dressed in green, and Jiang Yuyuan, who was a young actor, performed the opera ¡°Moon Treading¡±. As soon as it was broadcasted on the Spring Festival Gala last year, it instantly became popular in the entire immortal sect. With the two of them as the center, the Jade Phoenix Troupe even sang all over the country in recent years, reaping wave after wave of loyalty.


    ¡°You must have waited long, Nephew.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was wondering if he should join the star-chasing crowd and participate in the fun, a gentle and familiar voice sounded in his ear.


    He turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a gray suit and slightly white hair walking over from not far away with two suitcases.


    It was his uncle, Chen Baolan.


    ¡°Second Uncle, we haven¡¯t seen each other for two or three years, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately jogged over and helped carry the luggage.


    ¡°After two years, three months, and 18 days, Big Brother has finally reached Qi Refinement Level-9.¡±


    Chen Baolan only let Chen Mobai carry one luggage. The uncle and nephew were also very close. They chatted and laughed as they walked out of the airport.


    ¡°Their flight has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Quick, quick, quick, in Terminal Two!¡±


    ¡°I can finally meet my real-life male idol.¡±


    ¡°Meng Huang¡¯er will forever be the Moon Fairy.¡±


    At this moment, the young men and women waiting for the Jade Phoenix Troupe in the airport suddenly became active and ran towards another terminal. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that magic was forbidden in the airport, many cultivators would have jumped up.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to meet them


    too?¡±


    Chen Baolan saw Chen Mobai stop in his tracks and couldn¡¯t help but ask with a smile.


    ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t want to meet the male and female gods in the entire immortal sect?¡±


    Facing his relative, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t be shy and admitted it generously.


    ¡°Look at this.¡±


    Chen Baolan took out a stack of things from his suit pocket and handed it to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai took it and couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s a theater ticket for the Jade Phoenix Troupe. This thing is even harder to snatch than the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Where did you get it?¡±


    ¡°Boss Bian happened to be on the same flight as me. We sat together and had a nice chat, so he gave me these tickets.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s Boss Bian?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s Bian Yiqing, the commander of the Jade Phoenix Troupe. He was the number one performer of the immortal sect 30 years ago, and is also the master of Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan.¡±


    After Chen Baolan finished speaking, Chen Mobai remembered that Bian Yiqing was the childhood idol of his parents¡¯ generation. He had even been invited to sing his song, Dragon¡¯s Dream, at the Xianqing Festival. Now, that video was still among the top three viewed videos on the Internet.


    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too lucky.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. Bian Yiqing was an unparalleled national scholar and a performer who had been selected for the national team. He was also an instructor of the Dance Dao College and was recognized as a grandmaster in the immortal sect.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be considered luck. A few days ago, in the ancient ruins that our academy excavated, there were some things that needed to be identified by an expert from the Dance Dao College. Coincidentally, Boss Bian¡¯s Jade Phoenix Troupe was performing in the nearby Taibai City, so he came over. That¡¯s how I got to know him.¡±


    ¡°Then, on the plane today, we ran into each other again. The two of us talked for a while. We had a good time. He just gave me ten tickets.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately checked the ticketing platform and found that the Jade Phoenix Troupe was going to hold 20 shows in Danxia City. The tickets in his hands could be sold at any time. One simply had to register their seat online before attending the show.


    ¡°That¡¯s three tickets for our family, three for Auntie¡¯s family, and one for you, Uncle. That makes seven tickets. Can I resell the other three?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately made a reservation for tonight¡¯s event. It just so happened that their entire family was here, but ten tickets was still too many. He thought of selling them in his personal shop.


    ¡°Suit yourself. Anyway, I¡¯ve already given you these ten tickets.¡±


    Chen Baolan laughed and walked out of the airport first.


    That evening.


    At the dining table, Chen Xinglan and Chen Baolan had already started drinking. Tang Pancui was still cooking when Chen Mobai heard the doorbell ring. He knew that his aunt had arrived.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m at Qi Refinement Level-4.¡±


    At the door, a 12 or 13-year-old girl¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Chen Mobai. She had a delicate face and fair skin. Her black hair was combed back and swayed in the air, coupled with a purple pearl hairpin. This was the spiritual snake bun, the most trendy hairstyle in the immortal sect recently. She looked very lively.


    She was Chen Mobai¡¯s cousin, Wang Xinying.


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s impressive. I guess it won¡¯t be long before you surpass your Brother, right?¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw his sister standing in front of him with her hands on her hips and looking smug, he couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch her combed-up spiritual snake bun.


    ¡°It looks good, doesn¡¯t it? My mother did it for me.¡±


    Wang Xinying was overjoyed to receive her Brother¡¯s praise.


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt, come in quickly.¡±


    There were two other people at the door. They were Wang Xinying¡¯s parents. The man had a fierce face and a strong figure. Meanwhile, the woman was wearing a long purple-red dress that matched her round and smooth high-cut hair. This made her look rich.


    When they saw Chen Mobai, they all smiled.


    ¡°Little Bai knows his manners. He¡¯s nothing like your father.¡±


    When his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, was chasing after Chen Yulan, he was so fierce that Chen Xinglan mistook him for a hooligan on the street who was harassing his sister. After school, Chen Xinglan blocked him in a small alley with a broom and beat him up.


    With Wang Jianyuan¡¯s personality, he would definitely retaliate. After the two of them were beaten black and blue, they started cursing each other.


    As they cursed each other, Chen Xinglan realized that he had hit the wrong person. However, they had already fought. Wang Jianyuan also knew that this person was his brother-in-law and could only admit that he was unlucky.


    Even though Chen Yulan had married over, Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan still did not get along. Every time they met, they would argue.


    ¡°Alright, today is a great day for my big brother. Go in and talk less.¡±


    Chen Yulan looked resentful when she heard her husband¡¯s words.


    Everything else about Wang Jianyuan was good, but he was too petty. He still remembered how Chen Xinglan had beaten him up and raised it every day. He probably wouldn¡¯t forget it until the day he died.


    ¡°Hmph, can¡¯t you just be a Qi Refinement cultivator? Why must you go to the Foundation Establishment Realm? Some people just don¡¯t know their place.¡±


    However, Wang Jianyuan completely ignored his wife and started mocking Chen Xinglan after entering

 Chapter 36 - Divine Sense

    Chapter 36 Divine Sense


    Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan quarreled again, but under the appeasement of their siblings Chen Baolan and Chen Yulan, they began to drink.


    At the dining table, the adults formed a circle. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai and his Sister, Wang Xinying, formed another circle.


    ¡°Look at this.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe. Wang Xinying was at the age where she was chasing celebrities. Needless to say, she was infatuated with Jiang Yuyuan and screamed on the spot.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so kind. My father can¡¯t even get this ticket. Lili was showing off to me today that she had a ticket¡­¡±


    Wang Xinying simply jumped up from her stool and snatched the ticket from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Second Uncle gave it to me. If you want to thank anyone, thank him. I¡¯ve already booked our seats for tonight. Dad, Uncle, don¡¯t drink so much.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that once Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan went against each other, they would definitely drink a lot, so he simply booked their seats for the Jade Phoenix Troupe in advance.


    ¡°You two youngsters go ahead. Us older ones are way past the star-chasing stage.¡±


    Wang Jianyuan simply picked up the wine bottle and filled Chen Xinglan¡¯s empty glass. Meanwhile, Tang Pancui and Chen Yulan chatted on the side, not bothering to care.


    ¡°The Jade Phoenix Troupe belongs to Boss Bian. Tonight is the first show. Perhaps he will also show off his voice and do the opening act.¡±


    However, Chen Baolan understood Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts and smiled.


    ¡°Boss Bian? Which Boss Bian?¡±


    ¡°Who else could it be? He¡¯s Bian Yiqing, the one who sang Dragon¡¯s Dream. He¡¯s Master Bian!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Before Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan could react, Tang Pancui and Chen Yulan, who were munching on melon seeds, could no longer sit still.


    ¡°What time does it start? Hurry up and eat. If you miss Master Bian¡¯s performance, come back and see how I deal with you.¡±


    Tang Pancui¡¯s words were directed at Chen Xinglan. Meanwhile, although Chen Yulan didn¡¯t say anything, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Wang Jianyuan.


    Within half an hour, the entire family was urged out the door by the three women.


    At the entrance of the Danxia Troupe, the traffic was already flowing.


    The seven of them waited in line for more than ten minutes before they could finally enter.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a front-row seat. Thank you, Second Uncle.¡±


    Holding Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, Wang Xinying was the first to find their seat. She pulled her Brother to sit in the middle.


    ¡°The tickets given by Boss Bian should have the best view, besides the private rooms above.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his head and looked around. As expected, he saw a circle of private rooms on the second floor. However, only two of them were lit. The curtains in one of the rooms were open, and he could vaguely see two figures.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Master Bian?¡±


    However, Chen Baolan recognized that one of the people in the private room was Bian Yiqing.


    ¡°Since they were able to get Master Bian to personally pay a visit, I wonder whether it¡¯s Perfected One Chi Pao or Perfected One Shi Qing?¡±


    In the entire Danxia City, only these two Golden Cores could make Bian Yiqing, the grandmaster of opera, personally visit them.


    ¡°It¡¯s a man. I think he¡¯s Perfected One Chi Pao.¡±


    As they were guessing, the theater suddenly darkened.


    Then, a young student went on stage and gave an opening speech. Chen Mobai listened for a while. As expected, her foundation was extraordinary. Her voice was clear, and she seemed to be a girl. She first apologized.


    ¡°Tonight, Teacher Meng and Teacher Jiang have some problems with their throats due to the long journey. They can¡¯t make an appearance.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the theater who had worked hard to get in immediately couldn¡¯t sit still and stood up to make a commotion.


    ¡°Then what are we here to see!¡±


    ¡°Damn. I want a refund!¡±


    Amidst the curses, a handsome young man descended from the sky like a swimming dragon. He was breathtaking.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry this happened.¡±


    ¡°In order not to disappoint everyone, let me sing this today.¡±


    ¡°If you insist on listening to ¡®Moon Treading¡¯ performed by the two performers, then the tickets for this performance can be postponed to the 21st.¡±


    Bian Yiqing¡¯s appearance instantly stunned everyone.


    Other than a few young people who were too young and insisted on seeing Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang¡¯er, most of the older audience members were excited.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually Master Bian!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve struck gold. Boss Bian hasn¡¯t appeared in 20 years!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true. Every year, he appears and sings two lines for the Dance Dao College¡¯s anniversary. The videos can be found online.¡±


    ¡°This trip was worth it!¡±


    In the theater, there were only a dozen or so young people who did not understand their parents¡¯ fanaticism and insisted on refunding their tickets for a later performance.


    ¡°I wanted to see Brother Jiang Yuyuan¡­¡±


    Wang Xinying was the same and pouted. Although Bian Yiqing was also handsome, her heart had long belonged to Brother Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have some tickets.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately calmed her down. Then, as Bian Yiqing opened his mouth, he performed ¡°Spring Day Banquet¡±. It was as clear and lively as flowing water. It was mellow, pleasant, and unique. Sometimes, it was poignant, and sometimes, it was rich. It was as if the first ray of sunlight in the early spring after the winter had shone through her heart, making Wang Xinying, who was originally a little impatient, instantly addicted.


    S


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai, who was originally indifferent, felt the spiritual energy in his body begin to flow and tremble along with the ¡°Spring Day Banquet¡±. It was as if he was lying on a massage chair, and his entire body was being caressed by the music. He could not help but feel intoxicated by the numbing pleasure.


    He felt as if his soul had left his body, as if it had become a feather that fluttered in the wind.


    It was like a dream, but he still had a clear self-awareness.


    He seemed to have touched a different realm under the guidance of the opera.


    In this realm, all the contents in the Qi Refinement chapter of the Five Elements Technique that Master Qing Ping had mentioned were integrated in his heart.


    The spiritual power in his body rose with the opera, but he firmly grasped it and circulated it according to the path of the Five Elements Technique. Whether the circulation was fast or slow, it was all up to him.


    After one song, he performed another. After 12 songs, Bian Yiqing left the stage, but the people in the theater were still in a daze.


    When Chen Mobai came back to his senses, his parents were already waiting for him beside him.


    Meanwhile, Wang Xinying simply fell asleep and was carried on Wang Jianyuan¡¯s back.


    ¡°How do you feel? Most people don¡¯t have such an opportunity to hear Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song.¡±


    Chen Baolan asked. Chen Mobai sensed that his spiritual power had not improved much. After all, he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6.


    However, something was different.


    ¡°Close your eyes and try to see it for yourself!¡±


    Chen Xinglan reminded him.


    Chen Mobai had a guess and immediately closed his eyes. Then, in the darkness, he saw colorful lights.


    This was the spiritual power of the Five Elements Art in the Qi Sea of his dantian.


    ¡°How is that possible? This is the ¡®divine sense¡¯ that only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators have!¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes in disbelief.


    The bottleneck of Qi Refinement Level-7 was the one that trapped the most cultivators in this realm. Tang Pancui had been stuck at this bottleneck for 30 years.


    The reason was that if one wanted to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, they needed to grasp their ¡°divine sense¡±.


    Had he grasped it in the time it took to listen to a song?

 Chapter 37 - Dream-Stirring Song

    Chapter 37 Dream-Stirring Song


    ¡°It¡¯s just that you¡¯re still under the effects of the Dream-Stirring Song. You¡¯ll regress after a while.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s words were like a bucket of cold water on his head, making him happy for nothing.


    ¡°However, you can take this opportunity to feel your divine sense. That way, the next time you break through, it will be much easier to follow this feeling.¡±


    ¡°Can I download the Dream-Stirring Song online and listen to it every day? Wouldn¡¯t that give the effect of cultivating my divine sense all the time?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai thought of a good idea and looked hopeful. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. The Dream-Stirring Song isn¡¯t just music. It¡¯s an auxiliary cultivation technique passed down from the immortal sect. It evolved from the ¡®God-Stirring Song¡¯. Only by listening to the performer sing wholeheartedly with your own ears can it have such an effect.¡±


    Chen Baolan shook his head. He was not the first to have such thoughts.


    ¡°What¡¯s the God-Stirring Song?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°It¡¯s the top auxiliary divine technique of the immortal sect. After a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator hears this song, they can experience what it feels like for them to be in the Soul Formation Realm. Unfortunately, it has been 2,000 years since a cultivator has cultivated it. Master Bian is a grandmaster in the Dao of sound who is closest to refining the God-Stirring Song. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Root is not good. With his cultivation shackles, he can only master the Dream-Stirring Song.¡±


    After hearing Chen Baolan¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai gasped in shock.


    ¡°In that case, why didn¡¯t Master Bian use Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending to cleanse his Spiritual Root? A grandmaster who has mastered the God-Stirring Song is priceless. Perhaps this can allow our immortal sect to have a few more Soul Formation Patriarchs.¡±


    If Chen Mobai could think of it, how could the upper echelons of the immortal sect not think of it?


    ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending can only be used by Soul Formation Patriarchs. However, the two Patriarchs have been in seclusion for more than 300 years.¡±


    After Chen Baolan finished speaking, Chen Mobai understood.


    Master Bian was a genius in the Dao of sound who had only appeared in the past 50 years. Compared to the Soul Formation Patriarchs whose lifespans were in the thousands, he was really too insignificant.


    There were three halls and four Dao Colleges in the immortal sect. It was impossible for them to disturb the two ancestors in seclusion over such a small matter.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s said that Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s Spiritual Root aptitudes are very outstanding. Their talent in the Dao of sound is not inferior to that of the Bian family. They are True Dao Seeds that the immortal sect found after searching the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands.¡±


    ¡°If the two of them can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, they will be able to play the God-Stirring Song passed down by the immortal sect again.¡±


    ¡°The few masters from the immortal sect must have been waiting for them to grow up, so they got Master Bian to personally lead the Jade Phoenix Troupe on a nationwide tour. While enlightening the cultivators in the country, this also allows them to accumulate blessings and merit so that one of them could cultivate the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.¡±


    Chen Baolan followed the expedition team of the Spiritual Pivot Academy all year round. The professor leading the team was also a member of the three halls in the immortal sect. Thus, he knew more than Chen Xinglan and the others.


    ¡°To enlighten the cultivators in the country?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai grasped the key point again and looked at Chen Baolan in confusion.


    ¡°Why do you think the Jade Phoenix Troupe has to work so hard to tour the country? Moreover, they have to hold 20 shows in a row in every Grotto-Heaven. Do you think they just want to earn a few Karma Points?¡±


    Chen Baolan asked. Chen Mobai nodded subconsciously. Wasn¡¯t that so?


    ¡°The structure of the upper echelons in the immortal sect is very big. Think about it. Since Master Bian can let you grasp the divine sense that only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators can master, how can he keep this ability to himself? With such a blessing, one naturally has to benefit the masses and all living beings.¡±


    ¡°After Master Bian became famous 30 years ago, the immortal sect arranged for him to tour the entire country. It was hard on him to enlighten most of the talented Qi Refinement Seeds in the immortal sect.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, why do you think Master Bian, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, can become a teacher of the Dance Dao College and be respected by everyone? Isn¡¯t it because the middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivators of this batch of immortal sects were basically enlightened by Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song when he toured the country for eight years?¡±


    ¡°If you achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future and meet Master Bian, you have to bow to him.¡±


    After Chen Mobai heard Chen Baolan¡¯s explanation, he felt deep respect for Bian Yiqing, the opera grandmaster.


    Even though this was partly due to the promotion of the immortal sect, it was not an exaggeration to say that Bian Yiqing was a living saint. After all, he was able to persevere for eight years and travel through the 36 Grotto-Heavens and the 72 Blessed Lands just to enlighten the Qi Refinement Seeds of his parents¡¯ generation 30 years ago.


    ¡°In that case, Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan are also taking the same path as Master Bian and enlightening all the living beings of our generation.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this again. At first, he was a little puzzled by his sister¡¯s fanaticism with chasing them. Now that he thought about it, he was too narrow-minded.


    ¡°Their cultivation is still a little shallow, but with everyone around, they will be able to enter the inner circle sooner or later. Last year, the two of them were accepted by the Dance Dao College without any tests. Now, they are working while studying. They cultivate and tour at the same time. I hope one of them can master the God-Stirring Song in the future.¡±


    When she said this, Chen Baolan did not have much confidence.


    After all, it was really too difficult to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Even with a Heaven Spiritual Root, there was only a 1% chance.


    Although Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan had outstanding Spiritual Roots, had the support of the immortal sect, had the personal guidance of a grandmaster like Bian Yiqing, and had even been accepted by the Dance Dao College, the possibility of the two of them cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm was very slim according to the deductions of the Star Observation Academy.


    If not for the fact that the few Nascent Soul Realm experts were too eager for them to cultivate the God-Stirring Song, the immortal sect might not have invested such a huge amount of resources in them.


    Of course, Chen Baolan did not tell Chen Mobai about this. After all, he could not dampen his enthusiasm for cultivation.


    If Chen Mobai knew that even the two people from the Jade Phoenix Troupe only had a slim chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, wouldn¡¯t Chen Mobai, who had an ordinary True Spiritual Root, have his future cut off compared to them?


    (If only I could listen to Meng Huang¡¯er sing to me every day.]


    However, Chen Baolan had no idea what his eldest nephew was currently thinking. If he knew what Chen Mobai was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.


    Even the three hall masters of the immortal sect might not receive such treatment.


    Chen Mobai also knew that he was dreaming, but he was still a young man. Although his will to cultivate was firm, some worldly desires had yet to dissipate with the passage of time and the raise in his rank.


    Perhaps when he was in his seventies or eighties, he would laugh at his delusions when he recalled his thoughts from today.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s rare to hear Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song today. Let¡¯s go back and celebrate.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Xinglan had already called for Chen Baolan and Wang Jianyuan to drink some more. Chen Baolan readily agreed. However, Wang Jianyuan shook his head and gestured to his sleeping daughter.


    ¡°You guys go ahead and drink. I¡¯m taking Xinying back to rest.¡±


    Wang Xinying¡¯s cultivation level was only at Qi Refinement Level-4. Although she had also experienced the Dream-Stirring Song, she definitely did not grasp the divine sense. However, the benefits were not small. If she woke up after a good sleep, she might be able to stabilize her realm after forcefully breaking through by consuming medicinal pills.


    Chen Mobai helped call a taxi. Then, he sent his uncle and his family to the car.


    Before Chen Yulan left, she gave the gift she had prepared to Chen Xinglan.


    ¡°Big Brother, you broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9. This is a small token of appreciation from Jianyuan and me. Although he is usually rude with you, he¡¯s actually quite happy for you.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. What¡¯s the point of talking so much!¡±


    Unable to hang on, Wang Jianyuan closed the front door of the taxi with his daughter in his


    arms.

 Chapter 38 - Seeking Support

    Chapter 38 Seeking Support


    The next morning, Chen Baolan packed his luggage and left.


    He left behind a book of his insights from when he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and even gave Chen Xinglan a jade pendant. Its use was to clear one¡¯s heart and calm one¡¯s mind. If a Qi Refinement cultivator wore it, it could increase their divine sense by 20 to 30%.


    It was equivalent to a quarter of the effect of the Spirit Ascension Powder. It was an opportunity that Chen Baolan had obtained when he was excavating an ancient ruin.


    Chen Xinglan did not argue. After all, it was a gift from his own younger brother, so he simply accepted it. However, he had also said that after he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would return it to Chen Baolan. Chen Baolan also smiled and nodded.


    As for Wang Jianyuan and Chen Yulan, they gave Chen Baolan a huge gift.


    They simply gave Chen Baolan 80,000 Karma Points. They had originally planned to buy one of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures as a gift, but they really couldn¡¯t get it, so they could only give him Karma Points.


    However, Chen Xinglan and his wife naturally refused to accept it. Even if they were biological siblings, they felt guilty accepting such a huge sum of Karma Points.


    It was not easy to refuse the gift at the entrance of the theater that night. This morning, Tang Pancui deliberately woke up early to send the 800,000 Karma Points back.


    ¡°Son, go buy some hangover medicine for your father. I¡¯m going to your aunt¡¯s house.¡±


    After sending Chen Baolan off, Tang Pancui hurriedly took the bus.


    Chen Xinglan had drunk too much last night and his alcohol tolerance was average. Thus, he had yet to wake up.


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually ate some breakfast and then applied for a day off from his form teacher.


    Chai Deyun was also very responsible. After seeing the message, he specially called to ask what was going on. After all, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and every day was very important. However, after knowing that Chen Mobai was going to send his father off, Chen Xinglan, to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm today, he still congratulated him politely and approved his leave.


    He went to the Evergreen Pharmacy at the end of the street as usual.


    Chen Mobai was experienced this time. After walking in and waiting for a while, the young girl in the white nurse uniform walked out. However, this time, she didn¡¯t have a big iron pot in her hands. She seemed to be in the busy stage of extracting the medicinal liquid. Her exposed snow-white skin by the edge of the mask was slightly covered in sweat.


    ¡°What do you want this time?¡±


    After two transactions, the two of them knew each other. The young girl first removed the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to ask.


    ¡°I want some hangover medicine.¡±


    ¡°How much do you want?¡±


    ¡°Give me a box.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯ll be 30 Karma Points.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the bottle of spiritual water that the girl took out from the cabinet. It was used to cure hangovers. Then, he immediately took out his phone to pay.


    ¡°I think I saw you sealing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water last time.¡±


    Seeing that the girl was about to return to the back hall, he could not help but ask.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking about that? My teacher refined it. That¡¯s all for the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even if you want to buy it, I can¡¯t sell it to you.¡±


    Qing Nu clearly knew what Chen Mobai wanted to ask and directly blocked his thoughts.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t there any extra portions? I heard on the Internet that every alchemist will refine an extra 10%. This is in case there are any accidents and they cannot report that they have achieved the quota.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai still did not give up. If he had enough Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his father might be able to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 within the next two years by cultivating above an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein.


    ¡°There are extra portions, but Teacher will sell them to old clients he¡¯s known for years. Even I don¡¯t get a share.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and said something that made Chen Mobai have no choice but to give up on the idea of buying the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water from here.


    ¡°That¡¯s too bad.¡±


    Holding the sealed hangover medicine in his hand, Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu and turned to leave.


    ¡°If you believe me, I can actually refine this Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.¡±


    At that moment, the girl¡¯s slow voice behind him made him turn around immediately.


    ¡°You! Can you refine it?¡±


    ¡°A Rank-1 bottle shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Even though I haven¡¯t passed the official alchemist examination from the immortal sect, I¡¯ve learned most of the basic knowledge.¡±


    ¡°However, alchemists rely on practical knowledge. No matter how good your grasp of knowledge is, you still have to refine it before you can use it.¡±


    ¡°Oh. sure.¡±


    Qing Nu simply mentioned this. Seeing Chen Mobai sizing her up with a look of distrust, she did not explain further.


    ¡°Wait, you can really refine it?¡±.


    Seeing that Qing Nu had lifted the curtain to the backyard and was about to turn around and leave, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and asked desperately.


    ¡°Apart from the last step of mixing the medicinal liquid, which has always been personally done by Teacher, I¡¯ve already experienced the other basic steps and processes more than a dozen times. The success rate can reach 80-90%.¡±


    ¡°How can I work with you?¡±


    After Chen Mobai recovered from his shock, his high EQ returned again. He did not ask how confident Qing Nu was about the last step. Instead, he humbly asked what he could do.


    ¡°You provide the materials, and I¡¯ll practice with your materials. If I succeed, I¡¯ll give it all to you. If I fail, the losses will be on you.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai fall into deep thought.


    It was because the two of them had only made three deals and did not have a deep foundation of trust.


    With Wu Wan¡¯s example, Chen Mobai was now wary of everyone who opened their doors to do business.


    ¡°I have something on today. Are you free after school tomorrow?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided to think about it carefully. This was a rare opportunity, but Qing Nu looked about the same age as him. Even if she had been refining pills since she was young, her level could not be too high. Although he had some Karma Points now, he did not dare to waste them.


    After all, everyone knew that providing for an alchemist to cultivate was the most expensive!


    If one failed at refining weapons, the raw materials could still be decomposed by a machine and reused.


    However, if this pill refinement failed, the product would be completely useless and could not be used anymore. However, the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water used a water-type pill refinement method. As long as there were no mistakes in the extraction of the medicinal liquid in the beginning, even if she failed at the last step of the concoction at the first attempt, she could slowly experiment. It was much more tolerable than fire-type pill refinement.


    ¡°I¡¯m not too free. I have to complete the mission Teacher assigned me.¡±


    When Qing Nu saw Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude of not bargaining when he bought the spiritual testing instrument, she thought that he should be from a relatively rich family. It just so happened that she was planning to apply to be a Rank-1 alchemist in an immortal sect recently and needed to practice her water alchemy techniques in advance. When she heard that Chen Mobai needed to buy the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, she tactfully mentioned it.


    However, this was the first time that Qing Nu had asked for support. Thus, she was a little unfamiliar with it.


    At this point, seeing that Chen Mobai was not too enthusiastic, she also retreated a little.


    ¡°I still have two tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe. I have front-row seats to Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s ¡®Moon Treading¡¯. It¡¯s considered the best seat other than the private rooms.¡±


    Chen Baolan had given him ten tickets. Yesterday, their family had used up seven tickets. He also promised to give one to his cousin, Wang Xinying. Thus, he still had two tickets left. He thought that this young girl in front of him was about the same age as him and should be interested in the Jade Phoenix Troupe.


    However, he had completely underestimated Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s ability to attract the girls of the entire immortal sect


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes lit up.

 Chapter 39 - Jade Parasol Tree

    Chapter 39 Jade Parasol Tree


    Qing Nu did not resist the charm of the Jade Phoenix Troupe and agreed to Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    After the two of them added each other¡¯s contact details, Chen Mobai brought the hangover medicine home.


    At this moment, his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, had already driven his car over. Chen Xinglan was going to stay in the Rank-3 spiritual vein cave abode of the Crimson Afterglow Academy for two years, so he naturally had to bring a lot of luggage.


    When Chen Mobai arrived home, Chen Xinglan and Tang Pancui were moving things. After the former drank the hangover medicine Chen Mobai bought, he became a little more energetic.


    ¡°I¡¯ll never drink again.¡±


    Although he said that, Chen Mobai felt that if their entire family was reunited next time, Chen Xinglan would still drink a lot.


    There was strength in numbers. Soon, the bedding and clothes were packed. Chen Xinglan comforted Tang Pancui, whose eyes were red, and carried his luggage.


    ¡°All right, my son can take me there. Just wait at home.¡±


    After the couple bade farewell, Chen Mobai sat in the front passenger seat.


    Chen Xinlan originally said that there was no need for any of his family members to send him off. He could just step onto this path alone.


    However, Tang Pancui was worried. Chen Mobai also wanted to see the Crimson Afterglow Academy, so he let Chen Mobai tag along


    Wang Jianyuan¡¯s driving skills were excellent. The journey of nearly 40 kilometers took less than an hour.


    ¡°Is this the Crimson Afterglow Academy?!¡±


    SUIL


    Chen Mobai looked at the buildings in the large forest of parasol trees and felt the extremely dense spiritual energy in the surrounding air. He couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. ¡°Cough cough¡­ cough cough¡­¡± Then, he couldn¡¯t help but cough violently.


    The spiritual energy here contained a wave of heat. Without refining and integrating it with the 12 sections of his throat, his throat could not take it. The spiritual vein here was a fire vein. Naturally, Chen Mobai, who had been nourished in a water vein recently, could not adapt to it.


    ¡°Do you see that Spiritual Peak?¡±


    Chen Xinglan got out of the car and pointed to the deepest part of the forest, where the highest mountain that towered into the clouds was located. Even though the area was filled with white clouds, they could not hide the incomparably huge Jade Parasol Tree at the top of the Spiritual Peak that seemed to connect heaven and earth.


    From a distance, its bark was as green as jade, and its leaves resembled flowers. It was elegant and clean, and surrounded by clouds.


    ¡°Is this the Jade Parasol Tree that has lived for more than four thousand years?!¡±


    Danxia City was classified as one of the 72 Blessed Lands of the immortal sect because of this superior-grade Rank-4 parasol tree. The tree witnessed the rise of the immortal sect and had also taken root in this mountain range. It gathered superior-grade and suppressed the leyline, turning an ordinary extinct volcano to the current Rank-4 spiritual vein.


    It could be said that without the Jade Parasol Tree, the current Danxia City would not exist.


    ¡°That Spiritual Peak is where Perfected One Shi Qing cultivates. Meanwhile, my Foundation Establishment cave abode is at the foot of the mountain.¡±


    Chen Xinglan had long applied to return to the school and advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm on the Crimson Afterglow Academy¡¯s official website. Then, he obtained an official reply giving him permission to do so. As driving was not allowed in the school, the three of them carried luggages of all sizes and walked to the foot of Spiritual Peak.


    Before entering the cave abode, he naturally had to register with the teacher in charge of management. Fortunately, that person was actually Chen Xinglan¡¯s classmate, but he had been staying in school after his graduation to help with logistics.


    He looked at the content of the official reply with the school seal and immediately arranged for an empty inferior-grade Rank-3 cave abode.


    rs


    ¡°The school is similar to what it was 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. You know the location of the cafeteria. If you want to save some Karma Points, you can prepare your own fasting pills.¡±


    With the help of his acquaintance, everything went smoothly. Under his lead, Chen Xinglan applied for a school card. With this, he could swipe his card and enter the cave abode. He could even enjoy most of the facilities and benefits of the Crimson Afterglow Academy, such as auditing classes, libraries, and even those medicinal pills, Dharma artifacts, and spirit talisman shops that were specially for students.


    ¡°Thanks, Old Yan.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s old classmate was called Yan Xiang. After helping him with the school card, he even took a plant pot from his office and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is your son, right? I didn¡¯t prepare much for our first meeting. I¡¯ll give you this green parasol seedling.¡±


    Yan Xiang was a very kind middle-aged man. This was a green parasol seedling with only two leaves. After receiving his father¡¯s permission, Chen Mobai reached out to take it.


    ¡°When students enroll in the Crimson Afterglow Academy, all students will receive a parasol tree branch and have to raise it before graduation. After graduation, they can bring the parasol tree back. If students don¡¯t want to spend too much time on paying a Spritual Gardener, they can plant the parasol tree branch in the school. This is how our parasol tree forest came about.¡±


    Yan Xiang posted to the lush parasol tree forest that stretched over the mountains with a proud expression. After speaking, he had something else to do and left.


    ¡°Well, we won¡¯t disturb you any more. Call me if you need anything. It¡¯s easy for me to drive over.¡±


    Wang Jianyuan carried the luggages into the cave abode. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to leave.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal together. After all, I just got my card. The food in the Crimson Afterglow Academy¡¯s canteen is also superb.¡±


    Chen Xinglan suggested, but Wang Jianyuan shook his head and said that he had another business in the afternoon and had to rush back. Chen Mobai could only leave with him.


    At the school gate, the father and son said goodbye. Chen Mobai was about to get into the car when he saw an acquaintance.


    ¡°Teacher Chan, why are you here?¡±


    It was Chan Si, who taught array formations in school. She was wearing a red dress today and looked very good. However, she was a student at the Danzhu Academy. Thus, Chen Mobai was very surprised to see her at the Crimson Afterglow Academy.


    However, she was not alone. She was accompanied by another man in green.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you. It must be class time, right?¡±


    Chan Si was also very surprised to see Chen Mobai in the Crimson Afterglow Academy. ¡°I¡¯m here to send my Dad¡­¡±


    After explaining, Chan Si nodded in realization. She looked at the Green Parasol seedling in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and smiled as she wished Chen Xinglan success in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°I¡¯m here on my mentor¡¯s orders to bring this Senior Brother to meet Daoist Shi Qing.¡±


    The man in green also smiled and nodded at Chen Mobai. He did not introduce himself.


    After greeting him, Chen Mobai remembered that Wang Jianyuan had something to attend to and didn¡¯t talk much to Chan Si. He thanked her again for the help with the Jade Water Array and got into the car.


    ¡°Is he one of your students?¡±


    The man in green asked after Chen Mobai left.


    ¡°Yes, he has a good personality, but his aptitude is a little ordinary.¡±


    ¡°Oh, really? Am I mistaken?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chan Si did not understand what the man in green meant. The man in green cultivated a secret technique that allowed him to sense the fluctuations of divine sense. He felt an active but disorderly sense of familiarity from Chen Mobai.


    It was the feeling of an ordinary cultivator who had just broken through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm and had yet to accurately grasp his divine sense.


    He thought that Chen Mobai was already at Qi Refinement Level-7 at such a young age. ¡°I remember that he just broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5 when school started this semester. Based on his Spiritual Root aptitude, it¡¯s impossible for him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-7 in just a month, right?¡±


    When Chan Si heard this, she recalled Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude and spoke in confusion. The man in green felt that she was right and did not think too deeply about it.


    ¡°I¡¯m a little sensitive about this when I select students for the immortal sects. Maybe I was wrong.¡±


    After the man in green finished speaking, he shook his head. He had been thinking about what questions he should ask during this year¡¯s college entrance examination. Thus, he was tense and might have sensed something wrong.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. You¡¯ll be locked up for the next few days. You can only come down from Spiritual Peak after the college entrance examination ends.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t ask for more than to enjoy a Rank-4 spiritual vein.¡±


    Chan Si brought him to the cave abode on the mountainside near the Jade Parasol Tree. There were eight inferior-grade Rank-4 cave abodes here. As one of the people who set the questions for this year¡¯s college entrance examination, the man in green was isolated in one of the cave abodes.


    ¡°I wonder when the people from the Dao Colleges and academies will come. After I set the questions, will they still have to review it?¡±


    Chan Si smiled at that, but said nothing.

 Chapter 40 - Stepping into the Heavenly River Realm

    Chapter 40 Stepping into the Heavenly River Realm


    After Chen Mobai returned home, he first placed the pot with the green parasol seedling on the balcony. He wanted to water it, but he was afraid of drowning the seedling.


    He took out his phone and checked how to raise this seedling. He realized that many people said different things.


    However, there was one thing in common.


    It was best to raise it in a place with sufficient spiritual energy. The more spiritual energy there was, the faster it would grow.


    This green parasol seedling was one of the few spirit trees in the immortal sect that could be upgraded indefinitely. Currently, the tree with the highest grade was the superior-grade Rank-4 Jade Parasol Tree in Danxia City.


    However, although the green parasol seedling had unlimited potential, its growth was extremely slow.


    The Jade Parasol Tree in Danxia City was planted by a Rank-3 Spiritual Gardener. It was said that it took 200 years for it to grow from a green parasol seedling to a Rank-1 spiritual tree.


    After the green parasol seedling matured, it would comb through the leylines and increase its spiritual energy. The tree and the spiritual land would complement each other. However, if it had grown in a Rank-4 spiritual land from the beginning, the Jade Parasol Tree would not have taken more than 4,000 years just to upgrade to a Rank-4 spiritual tree.


    Seeing that there was sufficient spiritual energy, Chen Mobai naturally thought of the water mansion.


    In a flash of silver, he teleported to the Heavenly River Realm.


    After placing the green parasol seedling on the desk in the side hall, Chen Mobai opened the Jade Water Array. Then, he took a pot of water from outside the protective shield and poured it over the roots.


    It was said on the Internet that this was the easiest spiritual tree to raise. It only needed to be placed in a place with abundant spiritual energy and watered regularly. After the green parasol seedling bloomed and bore fruit for the first time, there was no need to water it. It would grow on its own.


    Furthermore, after this green parasol seedling matured, it would be full of treasures.


    The bark and leaves could be used as talismans, while the sap could be used as ink and could also repel insects. The wood was also a good material for making musical instruments and boxes. However, the most valuable thing was still the flowers and fruits. They were the main ingredient in refining the superior-grade Rank-1 pill, the Clear Fire Pill. The Clear Fire Pill was a rare pill that could increase one¡¯s divine sense. To late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, it was one of the most precious pills.


    Thinking of divine sense, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes again. The effect of the Dream-Stirring Song was still there, but it was no longer as clear as last night. The spiritual power he saw seemed to be covered by a veil that was no longer transparent.


    According to Chen Baolan¡¯s reminder, the effect of the Dream-Stirring Song could last for about three to four days. During this period of time, it was best not to cultivate spiritual power. Instead, it was best to meditate and sense the formation of divine sense to see through the touch of the fog.


    Divine sense was a sixth sense other than the five senses. It came from the sea of consciousness.


    After a cultivator mastered their divine sense, they could check the state of their body. When their spiritual power circulated, they could correct it based on the correct path in the cultivation technique book and refine spiritual energy in the most perfect state.


    The stronger one¡¯s divine sense was, the more parts of the body could be seen. Once they achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm, their divine sense could even leave the body and see the outside world.


    Many spells that could dispel illusions were based on divine sense.


    As for Chen Mobai, he had only just activated his divine sense. Thus, he could only check his dantian¡¯s Qi Sea and feel the fluctuations and rotation of his spiritual power.


    This spiritual power rotation was what he had heard from Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture. When spiritual power was circulated in this way, it could be condensed. However, he did not have divine sense in the past. Although he could control the rotation of his spiritual power, he did not know the exact situation.


    Today, with his divine sense, he discovered that the spiritual energy was circulating at the speed of a turtle. Moreover, the trajectory it formed was not round at all. It was a flat irregular shape.


    ¡°When I really master my divine sense in the future, I have to correct it.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself.


    With this thought in mind, he opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app and typed in the keywords ¡°Divine Sense¡± and ¡°Qi Refinement Realm¡±.


    There were very few results. There were only two pages with a dozen or so posts.


    After all, those who could post on the Auxiliary Cultivation app were at least Foundation Establishment cultivators. At that time, they basically wouldn¡¯t care about the content of cultivating one¡¯s divine sense at the Qi Refinement Realm.


    Fortunately, there were many people. There were still some Foundation Establishment cultivators who studied the tricks of cultivating divine sense during the Qi Refinement Realm for the sake of their juniors or disciples.


    In order not to waste the effects of the Dream-Stirring Song, while Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t cultivate his spiritual power, he studied these posts seriously.


    After reading the content, he frowned slightly.


    There were actually two paths to cultivate divine sense within the two pages of posts.


    The first path was an orthodox self-cultivation method. It nurtured one¡¯s mind until one¡¯s psychic power glowed and naturally fused into one¡¯s divine sense. Those who took this route could go to the National Library to exchange for ¡°Spirit Nurturing Divine Technique¡±.


    The other path was a little more radical. It used a special fragrance to draw one¡¯s mind out.


    This route believed that the divine sense was born deep in the brain, but because of the postnatal Qi entering the body, it had to seal itself. However, the divine sense was the master of the human body. It was active by nature and could be reactivated with just a little primer.


    However, a Qi Refinement cultivator¡¯s divine sense was weak and could not leave their body for a long time like a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Therefore, when cultivating in this way, someone needed to be by their side. Once one¡¯s mind left their body, the other person had to immediately extinguish the incense.


    After their divine sense was activated and drawn out several times, the cultivator would naturally grasp their divine sense. It was considered as a long-term stimulating cultivation method. Cultivators who believed in this path had a very special name for this: Spiritual Sense Fitness.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this just like listening to the Dream-Stirring Song everyday? However, listening to a song is enjoyable. This sounds like torture.¡±


    Chen Mobai instantly understood. Then, he checked this stimulating cultivation method in the National Library. It was actually included as well. It was called the ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡±, but exchanging for this technique required the permissions of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Clearly, the immortal sect did not advocate it, so it was not like the orthodox ¡°Spirit Nurturing Divine Technique¡±. As long as one was a Qi Refinement cultivator, they could download this spell with 1,000 points.


    Chen Mobai was a person who liked to exercise, but he only liked it. He had never acted on it.


    Relying on his high level of permissions, he checked the contents and outline of the ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡±. He discovered that the incense required was actually a Rank-2 medicinal pill. He was originally a little tempted, but he immediately gave up.


    A Rank-2 medicinal pill could only be bought by a Foundation Establishment cultivator whose real name had been verified by the immortal sect. It could be considered a regulated product.


    It seemed that this ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡± was a method used by Foundation Establishment elders at home for their juniors to activate their divine senses.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and decided to get down to business.


    He got up and opened his bag. There was an ancient costume and a wig inside. They were the items he had ordered online and were close to ancient-style decorations.


    Actually, these things had arrived yesterday, but he only had the chance to try them on after sending Chen Xinglan to the Crimson Afterglow Academy today.


    There was no problem with the size. He wore the ancient costume and a coronet wig. He was also a handsome young man.


    He looked at his attire in the small mirror in his hand. After confirming that there were no flaws, Chen Mobai took a deep breath and opened the array of the water mansion.


    He was finally stepping onto the land of the Heavenly River Realm.

 Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Southstream Market 1

    Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Southstream Market 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Southstream Market.


    As a larger cultivator exchange among the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, Yun Country¡¯s southern part, the amount of traffic here is always substantial.


    So when Chen Mobai stepped in, he didn¡¯t provoke any attention. Only two Qi Cultivation disciples on the first tier came forward to greet him. An exchange of glances saw one of them withdraw, conceding the business to his companion who was wearing a hemp garment.


    ¡°Esteemed senior, do you need a guide? I am familiar with all the stores and even today¡¯s stalls¡¯ merchandise.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at this individual who was about his age, with confusion in his heart.


    [Why is his cultivation level so low?]


    If he were in a cultivation sect, someone his age stuck at first tier Qi Cultivation would have been expelled from high school by now. Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in this market wasn¡¯t low; it had reached the intermediate grade of rank 1.


    But he certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to ask such a question and instead awkwardly asked another one.


    ¡°Do you charge a fee?¡±


    ¡°Ten gold pieces per day is enough.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered the dozen or so gold pieces he received from the old man¡¯s package and understood that this was the currency unit for cultivators. However, he didn¡¯t know how much gold could be exchanged for a single spirit stone.


    He wanted to ask more questions, but he feared exposure by asking such common knowledge questions. Therefore he could only decline the offer with a shake of his head.


    ¡°Senior, please reconsider. I also know some leasing channels in this market.¡± Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, the hemp-garbed youngster felt an urgency, leading him to blurt out a phrase that made Chen Mobai embarrassed.


    Was it so lawless here?


    Can such a phrase even be uttered under broad daylight?


    But, being short of money, he could only refuse once again and quickly disappeared into the crowd.


    The youngster dressed in hemp watched his retreating figure disappear with a look of disappointment on his face.


    ¡°Brother Liu, the man appears unfamiliar, but seems to be at the later stage of Qi Cultivation, moreover, considering his dense threaded clothing which still manages to be impeccably tidy, I fear he is not a minor character.¡± The Qi Cultivating youth who had withdrawn earlier walked over. He had been silently observing Chen Mobai all along. Recognizing Chen Mobai¡¯s ancient style suit, which had been carefully tailored by machine, he concluded that only a major cultivation family would pay such close attention to attire and appearance.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t have the innate disdain that cultivation families have towards us loose cultivators. It¡¯s likely he¡¯s a disciple from one of the seven major sects.¡± The Liu family youngster dressed in hemp shook his head based on the short exchange he had with Chen Mobai earlier and his dealings with cultivation families. He arrived at a conclusion he deemed accurate.


    ¡°If he¡¯s from one of the seven major sects, why would he come to our Yun Country? Do they scorn us for the tributes we provide each year and sent someone to inspect us?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s pretend we don¡¯t know anything. Even if the sky were to fall, we loose cultivators only need to escape. Worse comes to worst, we can just hide in the secular world.¡±


    After listening to these words, the young man nodded.


    The situation in the Eastern Wasteland had always been chaotic. Killings, looting, and seizing opportunities were the norms.


    Even the major sects would have friction every few decades, leading to a fierce battle. The loose cultivators had long grown used to this.


    It¡¯s a shame that newcomers like them, who barely stepped into the world of cultivation in hope of immortality, have instead entered a more struggling world where they can¡¯t even afford a complete Qi Cultivation Technique.


    Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know that he was mistaken as a disciple of an Eastern Wasteland Major Sect because of his mass-produced ancient-style suit.


    He learned about Southstream Market from the accounts of Azure Waves Lake. Liu Yanpei, a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect, has been doing business here for twenty years, naturally, he¡¯s dealt with the local cultivators. He noted these matters down for the successor who would take over when he returned to the Sect for his Foundation Establishment.


    However, something happened fifty years ago which caused him to leave Azure Waves Lake and never return.


    After scanning all the books in the side hall, Chen Mobai found a record book on local factions and specialties. As soon as he set eyes on it, he planned to go out and check it out. However, it was only today that he made up his mind and decided to find this place according to the map.


    He was afraid that the situation might have changed after fifty years Who would have thought that this market, jointly established by local cultivation families and small sects, was still around and thriving?


    He walked onto the main route of the Market. Apart from pharmacies and magic instrument shops selling cultivation goods, there were many eateries, lodgings and even a formation shop selling Array Flags and Array Plates.


    Though he was curious enough to venture in, each of these stores had a scarce number of customers. In order not to draw attention to himself and because he lacked the funds, he decided to first go to the stall area to understand the market conditions.


    In addition to over twenty shops on this street occupying prime locations, there were stalls in every corner of the Market, selling all kinds of strange things.


    Despite having no gold or spirit stones, Chen Mobai still enthusiastically walked around the market to understand the cost of items in this world.


    Turns out, lower-tier Qi Cultivators generally trade in gold, with spirit stones being incredibly valuable for them.


    The conversion rate between gold and spirit stones was conventionally ten thousand pieces of gold for one spirit stone.


    However, when actually exchanging, spirit stones would definitely be more precious and would come with a premium.


    The transactions at the stalls were mostly in gold, with only very few items useful for cultivators of the fourth layer or above being traded in spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai noticed a stall selling books. A complete Qi Cultivation Technique was actually divided into upper, middle, and lower parts for selling. He originally found this quite bizarre, until he saw another stall selling the same Qi Cultivation Technique divided into nine parts for the nine levels of Qi Cultivation. One copy costs one spirit stone. Business seemed good, as it appeared most loose cultivators could only afford one copy.


    Chen Mobai was tempted. He could easily get hundreds of this Qi Cultivation Technique online, however, he didn¡¯t dare to resell them. After all, every download came with a pledge from him. If he passed it on for someone else to cultivate, then the Heart Demon might emerge, which wouldn¡¯t bode well.


    However, he did have a technique that wasn¡¯t downloaded from the cultivation world.


    ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±!


    After strolling around the stalls, he realized this technique was also being sold and the price tag wasn¡¯t cheap either.


    It was priced at eight spirit stones.


    Moreover, this was just the price for the cultivation technique. If you wanted supplementary spells, you would need to add more spirit stones.


    ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± for two spirit stones, ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± for three spirit stones, and the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± was not even for sale He asked and found out that the stall owner¡¯s copy was not a complete version and could only be cultivated up to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai took a deep breath to cool himself down.


    He recalled the spoils he¡¯d originally received, it seemed there were a few bottles of elixirs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He could neither identify nor dared to consume them, but if he brought them to the stall for selling, there might be some ¡®connoisseurs¡¯ interested in them.


    Where did he place those few elixirs?


    It seemed like they were at the bottom of his bedside cabinet. He would bring them over when he returned home.


    Chen Mobai went around the magic instrument stalls once again. Without needing to ask the price, after standing for a while, he heard many cultivators haggling with the stall owner. He silently noted down the prices in his heart and compared them to the needle box he had.


    An item of similar grade actually has a value of thirty spirit stones..

 Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Nourishing Thought Forge God

    Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Nourishing Thought Forge God


    Technique_i


    Translator: 549690339


    Upon understanding most of the market prices, Chen Mobai felt a sense of unrest in his heart.


    It was only now that he realized, the items he merely saw as common goods could actually be worth so many Spirit Stones.


    No wonder cultivators in this world openly discussed selling items. With just a golden belt and a couple of packages he picked up from ordinary Qi Practitioners, he had nearly fifty Spirit Stones worth of resources.


    Too bad he came to Southstream Market this time only to understand the market trend and gather information.


    Because the impression left by the Eastern Wilderness was of a lawless and cruel world of cultivation, he only brought items that could be used for battle like the needle box from the Flying Needle Sect disciple, a hand crossbow, and an old man¡¯s short sword.


    Although he was quite reluctant, magical artifacts are external objects after all, they are nowhere near as good as exchanging them for Spirit Stones, which can then be converted into self-improvement.


    However, Chen Mobai was cautious by nature and did not hastily set up a stall for sale.


    He clearly remembered that the needle box was a magic artifact of the Flying Needle Sect. According to the disciple handbook of this sect, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators who were in power. Moreover, such a magic artifact was rare in the entire Eastern Wilderness. Upon encountering a disciple from the Flying Needle Sect, he would not be able to explain himself, and they would certainly think that Chen Mobai had committed murder for treasures.


    For now, he dared not sell the needle box, but it was different for the hand crossbow and short sword.


    He found stalls selling these two items were not uncommon in the market, especially the hand crossbow, which was very popular among low-rank Qi Practitioners.


    Probably because cultivators below the third level of Qi Cultivation couldn¡¯t resist a single blow from a crossbow bolt.


    These crossbow bolts were of course not the common iron-headed ones, but special crossbow bolts with Sharpness, Blast, and Gale Techniques applied. However, since carrying crossbow bolts was not as convenient as carrying spell bags, they were much cheaper in price, with ten pieces of gold per piece in the market.


    Arrows are consumable, but the crossbow is not the same. If you buy a good one, it can be used for a long time.


    The one Chen Mobai got from the Flying Needle Sect¡¯s disciple had decent quality. It was a foldable type that was not only convenient to carry, but also had the Fortitude and Aim Techniques applied. It was robust and accurate.


    After another round at various stalls, Chen Mobai confirmed the market price.


    500 pieces of gold.


    The short knife was completely worthless, two pieces of gold each. It seems like they are generally used as a bonus when buying magic artifacts.


    Having understood the magic artifact market and seeing that it was almost time, he decided to go back.


    Out of caution, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t immediately sell the Blackwater Cultivation and the hand crossbow. Mainly because gold was of little use to him, and bringing it back to the Immortal Sect and selling too much of it could easily attract the attention of market regulators.


    After all, the resources of the Immortal Sect were limited, and gold mines were controlled by the state. If too much flowed into the market and caused price fluctuations, it was sure to attract attention.


    Therefore, the best and safest method was to convert all the proceeds from sales into Spirit Stones that can be absorbed.


    Before leaving, he went to the stalls selling pills and took another look. But there were fewer people here. He observed and found that all the stall owners selling pills had a sign: defective products processed by a certain pharmacy. Basically, no one claimed they made the pills, it seems that both worlds have the same attitude towards pills.


    If it¡¯s not made by a renowned Alchemist, you generally wouldn¡¯t dare to take


    it.


    Let alone products of unknown origin, if you¡¯re selling them, you have to hang a sign of a large pharmacy, otherwise, few cultivators would ask for the price. It seems that it will be hard to sell those bottles of pills.


    Chen Mobai thought of the war booty he kept at the bottom of his bedside table and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    After understanding the general situation, he no longer lingered, and under the twilight, he turned around and left Southstream Market.


    At the door, he again met the teenager in hemp clothes who wanted to be a guide to make money. When the boy saw Chen Mobai, he humbly bowed his head. This attitude stunned Chen Mobai who initially wanted to greet him, and then he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and smile.


    ¡ö¡öIt turns out that our ancient custom of breaking the four olds on Earth¡¯s Yuan Planet was justified. This feudal old society is not right.¡±


    However, he was merely an outsider; a mere Qi Practitioner at Rank-6. He wouldn¡¯t have dared to criticize or scrutinize the social environment that these people had grown up in their entire lives.


    Chen Mobai silently walked out of the Fang Market¡¯s gates, disappearing into


    the mist of the formation.


    The Southstream Market outside has a formation, but the power of this formation isn¡¯t fully activated. It¡¯s just there to prevent ordinary people from getting close.


    An interesting idea popped into Chen Mobai¡¯s mind on his way back.


    If he didn¡¯t return to the Water Mansion to hit the ¡°Town Portal¡±, could he still succeed?


    He stopped, found a deserted valley, took out his phone, and surely enough, the [Town Portal] key protruded and was still lit up on the Turtle Treasure app. He could press it.


    in other words, within the Tianhe Realm, he was not confined to the Water Mansion. As long as he had his phone, he could return home from anywhere at any time.


    Then the problem arose again.


    If the location of [Town Portal] was changed, would his next teleportation be here? Or would it still be at the Water Mansion?


    Chen Mobai thought about it for a while, but in the end, he didn¡¯t dare to give it a try.


    He returned to the Water Mansion.


    However, when heading home, he had a sudden thought and went to the side hall.


    in this way, he could see where he would end up when he arrived next time. If he still appeared in the main hall, it meant that the teleportation location was fixed. If he appeared in the side hall, it meant that wherever he was when he activated the [Town Portal], that¡¯s where he would end up when he teleported back.


    In a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai returned home.


    He felt that he might have missed something in his logical thinking about [teleportation] and [Town Portal], but after thinking it over, he couldn¡¯t figure out where the loophole was, so he could only shake his head and temporarily give up.


    He glanced at the time on his phone ¨C it was almost time for dinner.


    His mother had gone to work in the afternoon, and he had to cook dinner alone in the evening.


    Well, he was accustomed to it anyway.


    As Chen Mobai cooked some Spirit Rice, he logged into the Blue Emperor account he had in the National Library with his phone.


    He used his points to download the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Although he was very interested in the physical-consciousness Cultivation Method, and wanted to give it a try, he had no way to purchase Rank-2 Mind Incense, and the Blue Emperor account couldn¡¯t afford the ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. Thus, the orthodox path was his only option. This was better anyway. Cultivating in this way produced a well-rounded Divine Consciousness, which didn¡¯t need daily incense burning for stability. While waiting for the rice to cook, Chen Mobai read through the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± once and understood it broadly by comparing the experiences shared by experts on the Auxiliary Cultivation software. Even with the experiences of his predecessors, his practice was still very difficult.


    To cultivate thoughts, one must first ¡°Enter Tranquility¡±, and after entering tranquillity, one needs to ¡°Contemplate¡±.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    One can contemplate anything in this world, but according to the experiences of others, it¡¯s best to contemplate a scene that suits one¡¯s state of mind.


    This scene should be powerful but not shocking, which sounds very contradictory.


    Fortunately, there¡¯s a detailed explanation on the Auxiliary Cultivation software: Contemplating powerful things can quickly grow one¡¯s thought cultivation, but if it¡¯s too shocking, it can cause emotional fluctuations, which will be counter-productive.


    Therefore, cultivators must carefully control the degree of contemplation during practice.


    Chen Mobai considered his own experiences, scratching his head in thought. Finally, he recalled the ¡°Emerald Phoenix Tree¡± he saw this morning..

 Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Qing Nu j

    Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Qing Nu j


    Translator: 549690339


    As a Rank-4 high-quality Spirit Wood rarely seen among the Immortal Sects, the Beryl Phoenix Tree, when converted to the realm of Immortal Cultivation, is equivalent to Nascent Soul.


    However, Spirit Woods face great difficulty in attaining enlightenment. Despite possessing enormous spiritual energy on par with Nascent Soul Level, the Beryl Phoenix Tree has not yet developed its spirituality. Since its upgrade to Rank-4 a thousand years ago, it has enhanced the fire vein rank and scope of the Red Dawn Institution, but it has shown no tendency to transform spiritually.


    This Spirit Wood perfectly embodyies the condition of being powerful yet unshocking.


    Chen Mobai began to enter tranquility and contemplate with peace of mind. However, the first step of ¡°entering tranquility¡± stumped him.


    Perhaps, due to his recent experiences, his mind¡¯s cluttered thoughts noticeably increased. Trying to suppress it all and maintain mental clarity was proving difficult.


    Fortunately, the predecessors of the Immortal Sect had anticipated Chen Mobai¡¯s situation. At the starting of ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±, there was a companion ¡°Calming Incantation¡±. He recited it silently several times, and approximately two hours later, he finally understood a state of mind that was serene and silent.


    In this quiet state, Chen Mobai visualized the towering tree he had seen today. After an unknown amount of time, he felt as if his spirit was a seed, awakening from a long dormant state. The quiet vitality began to shine, and a tiny green bud slowly broke through the ground.


    This process was very intriguing. All of Chen Mobai¡¯s senses seemed to have transformed into this green bud. While absorbing nutrients from the earth it was also yearning for sunlight. The arduous progress of breaking through the earth made him feel his spiritual growth constantly.


    He had a feeling that as soon as the bud freed itself completely from the earth¡¯s ties, his divine sense would be completed.


    This process might require a considerable amount of time, but the satisfaction of seeing his progress at every moment filled Chen Mobai with delight.


    After a night spent pondering and crafting divinity, Chen Mobai woke up feeling mentally exhausted. However, his soul was clearer than ever before, as if all the dust in his heart had been wiped away.


    ¡°This Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique is indeed a meritorious path. By just entering tranquility every day over a long period of time, the divine sense will naturally be cultivated.¡±


    Chen Mobai was excited, but he didn¡¯t know that many Qi Cultivation Level 6 practitioners would stumble on the first step ¡°Entering Tranquility¡±. Typically it would take a period of time, ranging from a few days to months of practicing the Calming Incantation, to eliminate all distractions and feel the revival of their spirit.


    He was still under the effect of the Dream-shattering Song, his spirit had awakened, and that¡¯s why he managed to succeed overnight.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know these key points, but Chen Baolan did, and that¡¯s why she reminded him not to cultivate spiritual power in the next few days, but to focus on feeling the divine sense. However, she didn¡¯t expect her nephew¡¯s good fortune, being able to visualize the Beryl Phoenix Tree and succeed in entering tranquility.


    After eating something casually in the morning, he spent the whole morning in school with his eyes closed, resting.


    By lunch break, Chen Mobai had recovered his spirit, and seemed to learn more efficiently on the Auxiliary Cultivation software.


    ¡°No wonder cultivators always advocate that cultivation realm comes first. I¡¯ve just begun to sense divine sense, and my learning and comprehension speed are already double from before. If those cultivators whose divine sense is fully developed can leave their bodies, wouldn¡¯t their efficiency be even more impressive?¡±


    Once the cultivation realm improved, the efficiency and progress of learning knowledge in the same amount of time far exceeded the times without divine sense.


    For such a reason, Immortal Sect cultivators would only focus on Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal when they faced a bottleneck.


    Who would want to work if they could concentrate on cultivating immortality? Although Doyuan Star was a Cultivation Civilization, numerous social relationships were still unavoidable shackles for cultivators.


    For example, Chen Mobai wanted the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. Not only could it help him quickly upgrade his realm, but it could also help his father achieve perfection in Qi Cultivation Level 9.


    Hence, after much thought, he finally decided to cooperate with Qing Nu.


    Although there were many Alchemists in Red Sandstone City, the ones at Rank-2 were few and far between. As Qing Nu was able to become an apprentice under the chief of the Evergreen Pharmacy, her alchemic talents were indeed not bad.


    Chen Mobai had looked up the recipe for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water on the medicine bottle. All the ingredients were Rank-t, and after checking the prices online, the cost of producing a pot of spirit water concentrate was about 6000 Good Deed Points. If everything went well, one pot of concentrate could produce 50 tubes of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    According to the last bidding price of 200 Good Deed Points per vial, the profit was indeed attractive.


    However, it¡¯s well known that the initial investment for an Alchemist is huge, and to successfully train one is uncertain. Once they¡¯re finally trained, they might just seek brighter prospects elsewhere.


    But Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have the time to learn himself, and within the school, the teacher who instructs the Pill Course is just a Rank-1 Lingzhi Husband. Because a Rank-1 Alchemist can earn more working in a pharmaceutical factory, due to the limited teaching resources at the high school, they could only hire a Lingzhi Husband who primarily teaches cultivation and preservation of medicinal herbs.


    Even so, it was the principal who took the initiative to invite this Lingzhi Husband from Cinnabarite Institute.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the resources of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would definitely not consider nurturing an Alchemist.


    But now, he wanted to give it a shot.


    Because the pills from the Cultivator that can be purchased on the market are too hard to get hold of, even Foundation Establishment cultivators have to abide by this rule. Therefore, many top-ranked cultivators will cooperate with alchemists to mutually benefit each other.


    But this kind of trust requires long-term cooperation.


    Chen Mobai wonders if he can trust Qing Nu.


    But isn¡¯t all trust cultivated from nothing at the beginning?


    After school, he first went home to change out of his school uniform, and when the time was almost right, he headed towards Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°Hello¡­¡±


    When he entered, Qing Nu was already standing behind the counter waiting for him, wearing casual white clothes, her long hair slightly curled. Seeing Chen Mobai, she smiled and greeted him.


    Because she didn¡¯t need to extract medicinal fluids today, she wasn¡¯t wearing a mask, so Chen Mobai finally got a clear look at her face. Her skin was snow-white, her face was like a delicate egg, her nose small and lips red. Her eyes, bright as gems, matched perfectly with her sweet smile and the small dimple on her cheek. Her overall temperament was pure, with a touch of naivety.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I seem to have arrived late.¡±


    ¡°No, no, I also came over after school. Let¡¯s go eat, my treat.¡±


    Qing Nu got tickets to the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe and seemed very happy. She took the initiative to invite Chen Mobai to dinner.


    ¡°If you leave, will the shop be closed?¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu grabbed her small bag and shouted to the back door, ¡°Teacher, I have something to do today. You¡¯ll have to manage the shop.¡±


    ¡°Okay, just remember not to stay out all night.¡±


    An old and majestic voice came from the back door. It must be the manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy, but his words caused Qing Nu¡¯s cheeks to flush. She couldn¡¯t help but spit.


    ¡°What are you talking about? We¡¯re just going for dinner and to see a show!¡±


    She walked out from behind the counter, allowing Chen Mobai to finally see her entire graceful figure. Her waist was slim, and she was wearing blue denim shorts and a pair of well-washed canvas sneakers. Her long, straight legs were full of energy.


    Standing in the sunlight at the entrance, her entire body was as white as beautiful jade, flawless.


    By the way, I still don¡¯t know your name?¡±

    She asked.


    ¡°Chen Mobai!¡±


    ¡°My name is Qing Nu.¡±


    ¡°And your family name?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a family name, just Qing Nu..¡±

    Chapter 44: Chapter 44 ¨C Main Medicine, Auxiliary Medicine 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai felt puzzled.


    Were there really people in this world without a last name?


    Seeing that Qing Nu had already walked away, he decided not to ask and just followed her.


    ¡°The grilled fish here is especially good. I only splurge on this meal once every month when I get my paycheck.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Qing Nu to a small restaurant tucked away in a corner of the city. Being familiar with the place, she picked up a menu and was about to order a spicy dish, then remembered that she¡¯s the one treating him.


    ¡°You pick something.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten here, you can go ahead and order. Just make it not too spicy.¡± Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s request, Qing Nu simply ordered grilled fish in a pepper and salt style instead of the spicy version. She also added lotus root slices, bean sprouts, and glass noodles, and ordered two sodas to round out their meal.


    ¡°How is it? The taste isn¡¯t bad, right?¡±


    Qing Nu seemed happy with her choice. Chen Mobai tried it out and found that the side dishes were indeed tasty. The fish, however, was quite average. Having enjoyed Azure Blood Carp from Lake Azure Cloud consistently, which even the Gold Core masters in Tianhe realm found irresistible, the fish they could source here in the mundane world just couldn¡¯t compare.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could muster was a neutral comment. Qing Nu shot him a white look in apparent disapproval of his lack of social tact, but that didn¡¯t stop her from relishing the meal. She managed to finish the majority of the large portion they¡¯d ordered.


    ¡°Do you like grilled fish a lot?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, watching Qing Nu take a sip of soda to alleviate the greasiness of the meal.


    ¡°Mm, the first time I ate out, it was here. Since then, I¡¯ve always thought that this place serves the best food in the world.¡±


    ¡°Next time, I can personally catch a fish, and with the condiments from this restaurant, I guarantee the taste will be even better.¡±


    Although he had already eaten all the Azure Blood Carp in Lake Azure Cloud, there were still some offspring left over. The taste might not be as good as the original, but it will definitely be better than what this restaurant serves. Upon hearing this, Qing Nu didn¡¯t know how to respond and stood there momentarily dumbfounded.


    The owner was clearing their table at the moment which made the scene extremely awkward.


    Who would have thought someone could criticize the fish right in front of the owner!


    Qing Nu concluded that the boy sitting in front of her was seriously lacking in social grace.


    ¡°The play is about to start. We should go.¡±


    Originally planning for a leisurely chat after the meal, now Qing Nu had to hastily pay the bill and pulled Chen Mobai away citing the play as the excuse. ¡°Do you have any affordable sources for the raw material for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water?¡±


    The pair found a quiet coffee shop to continue discussing matters related to their upcoming collaboration.


    ¡°No, everything in our store was packaged by the Baoping Pharmacy and sent over. My master handles the item list and I sign when the items arrive.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head.


    ¡°I looked at the formula. It mainly requires three primary ingredients and four supplementary ones. The primary ones are easy, I could find them online, but there¡¯re so many brands for the supplementary ones, I¡¯m not sure which to choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water he hadn¡¯t opened yet and handed it to Qing Nu.


    The three primary ingredients are Huang Jing, Baizhu, and Fangfeng. Since they¡¯re only refining a Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, ten years worth of medicinal effectiveness will suffice. These are common ingredients that anyone with Good Deed Points can purchase.


    However, the four supplementary ingredients were different; they were Dextrin, Mannitol, Flavor Modifier, and Fengling Substance.


    These seemed more like industrial materials with so many different brands, it was hard to know which worked best.


    ¡°Use this brand for Dextrin, this one produces good Mannitol, this factory has a good Flavor Modifier, and if you¡¯re consuming the result right after synthesis, you can use the cheapest Fengling Substance¡­¡±


    As expected of a professional, Qing Nu quickly pointed out which brands they should buy from and spoke confidently, having evidently planned out the whole thing beforehand.


    I understand the purpose of Fengling Substance from its name; it should be used to seal the Spiritual Water after completion to prevent the medicinal effect from leaking out. But what are the functions of the other three?¡± ¡°Dextrin is for combining the medicinal properties of the three main herbs, Mannitol is to enhance absorption by the human body, and the Flavor Modifier is for sweetening. The original mix is extremely bitter, and without a Flavor Modifier, it¡¯s hardly consumable.¡±


    ¡°So, are you saying we can leave out the Flavor Modifier?¡±


    Chen Mobai posed another question, causing Qing Nu to choke.


    I mean, it¡¯s not entirely necessary. We can save 500 Good Deed Points that way. But are you sure about this? You don¡¯t like the taste of herbs, right? I¡¯ve tasted the Spiritual Water without the Flavor Modifier before, it¡¯s extremely bitter.¡±


    While Qing Nu continued trying to persuade him, Chen Mobai began to waver. He really didn¡¯t like the taste of herbs.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go with your suggestions for the ingredients for the first batch. How will we solve the issues of location and equipment?¡±


    ¡°Well, I could try borrowing my master¡¯s medication pool and Cold Brewing Machine initially. If he notices and objects, then well have to find another way.¡±


    The pair continued discussing finer details. Qing Nu also helped Chen Mobai select a few online suppliers for the primary ingredients on Xuemen Net, some of which her master also orders from, ensuring their quality.


    Without further questions, Chen Mobai placed the orders following her instructions. Both the address and recipient he entered were Evergreen Pharmacy and Qing Nu, considering she was usually the one signing for packages at the store, keeping it safe from teacher¡¯s discovery.


    After purchasing all three primary ingredients and four supplementary ones, the ten thousand Good Deed Points Chen Mobai had earned from converting¡¯ Spirit Stones were reduced by more than half.


    How many tubes can you ensure to produce out of a single batch?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the unsealed tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that was on the table and asked.


    ¡°Somewhere between 10 to 20 tubes.¡±


    ¡°Ahem¡­.¡±


    Mid-drink, Chen Mobai almost choked on his coffee.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that setting up for certain loss?¡±


    ¡°Some initial investment is definitely required. Don¡¯t worry, once I get proficient, you¡¯ll start reaping profits.¡±


    Qing Nu clenched her slender fingers tightly and patted her chest, full of confidence.


    But all Chen Mobai could do was heave a sigh.


    Well, no other options were there. Being in Xuemen where resources were scarce, if he wanted to use ¡®Qi-replenishing Spirit Water¡¯ or even better medicinal items with no restrictions, having an Alchemist was the best choice.


    He could only hope that the girl in front of him was worth the investment.


    Come on, we¡¯re allowed in the theater now.¡±


    Checking the time, Qing Nu immediately urged Chen Mobai to head out, eager to watch ¡®Stepping on the Moon¡¯ by the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe.


    In the theater.


    Chen Mobai sat down in his seat, his face somewhat awkward.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had overlooked something.


    ¡°Brother, is she your girlfriend?¡±


    To his left was his younger cousin, Wang Xinying who he had given a ticket to for Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s performance today.


    Her eyes widened, and she scrutinized the beautiful Qing Nu sitting to the right of Chen Mobai.


    Qing Nu blushed a little, bowing her head in confusion due to the blunt question from the innocent young girl..

 Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Asking for Directions 1

    Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Asking for Directions 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    Chen Mobai also seemed a bit at a loss.


    He wanted to explain that they were just ordinary friends, but wouldn¡¯t this kind of thing usually be denied by the girl? However, Qing Nu just lowered her head, her slender, snow-white fingers constantly intertwining, and remained silent.


    Fortunately, at this moment, the entire theater darkened.


    A long and crisp shout at the start drew Wang Xinying¡¯s attention immediately to the stage.


    The two stars of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe came on stage.


    The first one to come out was Jiang Yuyuan, who played the young male lead. He was indeed handsome and elegant. What was even more remarkable was that he was bare-chested, showing off his masculine physique with eight-pack abs. He possessed both beauty and fitness, truly deserving the title of the number one young man in the cultivation world.


    But Chen Mobai was a man, who just watched, listened, and tasted with an appreciation for the play.


    Meng Huang, who came out next, was the one who caught his eye.


    She was dressed in a lavish costume, draped in a robe as light as gauze. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear high features, a Mei Hua petal dotting her smooth forehead, extraordinarily beautiful. Her small and exquisite melon seed face was painted with two lunar arcs in red, contrasting with the white lead makeup on her face, showing a holy demeanor.


    Every household would know the story of ¡°Stepping on the Moon¡±. The goddess Meng Huang played eventually ascended to the moon in sorrow. Even though Chen Mobai had long known it was a tragedy, he still felt as if he was experiencing it himself, a kind of inexplicable sadness in his heart after watching it.


    ¡°After immersing myself in the appreciation, my divine consciousness, which was about to fade due to the expiration of the Dream-shattering Song, was indeed awakened once again.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai came to listen to the play, not only to see Meng Huang, the number one maiden in the cultivation world, but also for his own cultivation.


    The Dream-shattering Song from Bian Yiqing had helped him open the door to Divine Consciousness Cultivation, but this wasn¡¯t something he had achieved himself, and by now, its effect had completely faded. Even with the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, he gradually felt that the speed at which his seed of contemplation would break through the soil was slowing down.


    If one song was not enough, naturally he would need another.


    Fortunately, he still had tickets. Even though Bian Yiqing had stopped performing, the two actors from the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, considering their reputation and the great responsibility bestowed upon them by the cultivation community, should have some effect similar to the Dream-shattering Song in their performances. So, Chen Mobai came to listen. And indeed, it was a full harvest.


    When Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang left the stage, he stood up from the heart and applauded loudly.


    Not only him, but Wang Xinying and Qing Nu beside him, and even the thousands of cultivators inside the theater, all stood up, expressing their gratitude to the pair who had performed a perfect song. The cheers were like raging waves, never-ending.


    It was only after the two actors from the Jade Phoenix Theatre Troupe left the stage for more than ten minutes and confirmed that they would not return, that the cultivators in the theater reluctantly stood up and started to leave.¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m going to take you home first.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t like to queue and be crowded with people, so he waited until most people had left before he stood up and said to Wang Xinying.


    ¡°No need, bro, my dad will pick me up, you can take sister-in-law home.¡±


    Wang Xinying promptly flicked through countless TV dramas she¡¯d seen in her mind, and skillfully assisted in this situation.


    ¡°Just call me sister.¡±


    At this moment, Qing Nu finally responded, and somewhat shyly asked Wang Xinying to change her address.


    ¡°Goodbye, sister, see you next time.¡±


    As Wang Xinying spoke, she blinked at Chen Mobai.


    But despite her reassurances, he called his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, to confirm that he was already in the parking lot waiting. Chen Mobai let Qing Nu wait at the door again, and personally took Wang Xinying over to hand her to her family.


    Remember, don¡¯t say anything unnecessary to your parents.¡±


    ¡°I understand, bro, after all, relationships at your age usually end by the time you start college. But this sister seems to be a good person, so don¡¯t be too terrible to her.¡±


    Before getting in the car, Chen Mobai instructed Wang Xinying over and over again. She beat her chest and made a guarantee, but her words made Chen Mobai knock on her forehead.


    ¡°What are you talking about, am I that kind of person?¡±


    It was not until Chen Mobai greeted uncle Wang Jianyuan and watched them leave, that he himself turned back.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting.¡±


    Qing Nu was in the same place where he had left her, having not moved at all.


    ¡°No, not at all. Your sister is quite adorable.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true. She¡¯s quite a handful¡­¡±


    With that, the conversation between the two suddenly became awkward.


    Having finished discussing their collaboration and the performance, they were at a loss for topics to talk about.


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk you home.¡±


    No need, I can take the bus back on my own.¡±


    Qing Nu took out a student card from her bag. Chen Mobai took a glance at it and noticed that it was from the number one high school in Red Sandstone City.


    That¡¯s the public school with the highest entrance scores. Does she have exceptional Spiritual Root Talent?


    Right, I don¡¯t even know what level of Qi Cultivation she is?


    ¡°Let¡¯s walk together. Although this city is safe, you never know if there¡¯s a rogue cultivator on the loose. It¡¯s dark out, we can keep each other company.¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s words gave Qing Nu pause, and she found herself looking at him a second time longer.


    Actually, she was just looking for a patron for her alchemy cultivation, but it seemed to have turned into something like a date now.


    No way, no way!


    Stay composed!


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Even though she protested in her mind, her words didn¡¯t follow suit.


    The two walked side by side to the bus station. After waiting for ten minutes a bus finally arrived. Although Chen Mobai wanted to take a taxi, Qing Nu shook her head, saying it was wasteful.


    Once they got on the bus, they sat in the last row, still in awkward silence.


    ¡°This is my stop. I¡¯ll get off here.¡±


    After five stops, Qing Nu was the first to stand.


    ¡°Okay, see you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Mmm, you can come over after dinner. My teacher won¡¯t be in the shop then.¡± Qing Nu hesitated for a moment, and whispered these words as she moved past Chen Mobai.


    Two stops later, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to get off.


    As soon as he got off the bus, a young man dressed in a blue and white robe asked him for directions.


    Excuse me, how can I get to Evergreen Pharmacy?¡±


    ¡°Turn left at the intersection over there and go straight till the end. But the pharmacy is closed in the evening.¡±


    Qing Nu might be there on normal days, but definitely not today. According to her, her teacher, Gu Changfeng, always finished his work at five o¡¯clock sharp and never stayed a minute longer.


    ¡°Oh, I see, thank you.¡±


    The young man in the blue and white robe thanked Chen Mobai politely upon hearing his answer.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If you need to buy some medicine, you can wait for this bus and take it two stops down. You¡¯ll see another pharmacy once you get off.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The boy in the blue and white robe still thanked him with a gentle smile, then stood waiting at the bus stop, seemingly willing to take Chen Mobai¡¯s advice and go to the other pharmacy.


    ¡°This person seems quite powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s senses were still heightened from the effects of the Stepping Moon Tune. He vaguely sensed that this boy who asked for directions was like a boundless ocean, inscrutable..

 Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Map_l

    Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Map_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the Immortal Sect, it¡¯s generally not appropriate to openly probe someone¡¯s cultivation level.


    However, Chen Mobai had experienced his father¡¯s spiritual power at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. He felt that even Chen Xinglan didn¡¯t exert as much pressure on him as this young boy did.


    Could it be that he¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator?


    When Chen Mobai returned home, he kept thinking about the young boy at the bus station asking him for directions.


    The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.


    The boy was incredibly polite, even somewhat old-fashioned, which greatly resembled the demeanor of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were over a hundred years old.


    If he truly was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then asking for directions was very strange.


    Out of the three hundred million cultivators in the Immortal Sect, those who have attained the Foundation Establishment have truly stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation. You could say that most cultivators are in service to those in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even though Red Sandstone City is a remote blessed land, it still has over a million permanent residents. Among these million Qi practitioners, there are less than fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators. These individuals control the city¡¯s economy, power, and resources ¨C you could say that all the cultivators in the city are serving them, creating value for them.


    For instance, the owner of the magic artifact factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s father worked was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 Artifact refiner.


    The owner of the talisman factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s mother worked was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 talisman maker.


    While the Immortal Sect advocates equality among all beings, in reality, those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage have an increased lifespan, divine senses fully developed for accelerated learning, and if they are willing to work hard, they can basically master most of the wealth.


    Qi practitioners simply cannot compete with Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even on a fair and just basis, they cannot match them solely based on time, not to mention that after Foundation Establishment, they typically master one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    The same talisman, if made by a Qi practitioner and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if the latter¡¯s is slightly more expensive, most cultivators would buy the one made by the Foundation Establishment practitioner.


    This is even more true for elixirs and magic artifacts.


    It can be said that Foundation Establishment cultivators collectively own half of Red Sandstone City. Except for Qing Nu¡¯s master who is said to be eccentric and reclusive and maintains a single pharmacy store to keep up his hand skills, the rest are essentially among the upper echelons. Having a car when going out is the most basic.


    Why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator need to take the bus and ask for directions?


    Unless he is¡­ from outside.


    As Chen Mobai thought about this, his mind began to wander. He wondered if this boy was a friend of Qing Nu¡¯s master? They being Foundation Establishment cultivators after all, the boy might have just been visiting an old friend.


    But then he quickly shook the idea off, laid in bed and started practicing the Calming Incantation.


    Under the workings of the Stepping Moon Tune, his divine sense became more active, leading to numerous thoughts, which consequently disturbed his tranquility.


    However, he didn¡¯t practice the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Because he had decided to fully utilize the cultivation room¡¯s time at school and moreover, he wanted to go to Southstream Market again that night.


    A silvery light flickered.


    Once again, he returned to the Water Mansion. As he looked around, his feelings became turbulent.


    He was sitting in the side hall.


    That is to say, the teleportation could only send him back to the place where he last departed, not to the main hall of the Water Mansion.


    However, the best course of action would be to test this outside the Water Mansion once more.


    Chen Mobai changed into his ancient costume, put on a wig to ensure no modern aura was present, activated the Azure Water Formation, and went ashore.


    Although Lake Azure Cloud was a short distance from Southstream Market, even if he used the Propulsion Technique at full force, it would still take him an hour to get there.


    It would have been great if he had a car.


    While thinking this, Chen Mobai arrived at the entrance of the market.


    That day he spent his time getting acquainted with the place without rushing to sell anything. When time was almost up, he left.


    This time, instead of returning to the Water Mansion, he found a desolate cave and activated the return function.


    The next day, when he clicked on the teleportation after school, a pop-up appeared on his screen.


    [Found an unfamiliar location (Unnamed), continue teleportation?]


    Huh?


    A new screen appeared on the Turtle Treasure software, and Chen Mobai clicked on [Yes],


    The shimmering silver light faded, and Chen Mobai opened his eyes, only to find that he was not in the Water Mansion but in the desolate mountain where he returned yesterday.


    Now he could confirm.


    The location he was teleported to was the same place he left last time.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed another difference. This time, when he activated the teleportation function in the Turtle Treasure software, a map-like interface appeared. It was quite plain for now, with only a water droplet-like icon, which most likely signified the Water Mansion, and a newly-appeared earthy-yellow triangle, which should represent his current location.


    Upon clicking the icons on the map on his phone, he found that he could rename them.


    So, he renamed the blue droplet as ¡°Water Mansion,¡± and the earthy-yellow triangle as ¡°Desolate Mountain.¡±


    [Once I have explored the entire Tianhe Realm, this blank map should be filled, right?]


    That was what Chen Mobai was thinking.


    After exploring the newly discovered feature for a while, he headed to the South Creek Market. Since it was close by, it only took him twenty minutes.


    Aside from the regular stalls, he also visited several large shops.


    They didn¡¯t accept gold there, instead, the transactions started with Spirit Stones.


    However, both the quality and grade of the items for sale in these shops far surpassed those of the street stalls.


    At a pharmacy in the Hundred Herb Pavilion, he saw a familiar bottle, which was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from the old man. Upon asking the shop assistant, he found out that it was a ¡°Gathering Yuan Pill¡± used by Qi Practitioners in the middle stage to enhance their spiritual power. Each bottle contained twelve pills and costs one Spirit Stone per bottle.


    He also tried to find the one the disciple from the Flying Needle Sect had, but he failed to find it. He suspected that it might be something unique to their sect.


    ¡°Senior, do you want to buy some Gathering Yuan Pills? All the pills sold in our Hundred Herb Pavilion are personally refined by the Alchemy Master from Back to Sky Valley, whose reputation resonates across the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    The shop assistant was a cultivator at the third level of Qi Cultivation. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s attire, he thought that he was a potential customer and was passionate in his sales pitch.


    The Gathering Yuan Pills are of no use to me.


    ¡°Then we also have Juling Pills, which are used by practitioners in the late stage of Qi Cultivation to elevate their realm. The price is not expensive either, only eight Spirit Stones per bottle.¡±


    ¡°I have just recently taken a pill to break through my realm and am now stabilizing my cultivation level¡­¡±


    Unable to pretend any longer, Chen Mobai had no choice but to come up with an excuse and leave.


    He continued to wander around in other Magic Artifact Shops and Array Flag Shops for a while.


    At a bookstore, he picked up a book named ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± to gain some general knowledge about the area. He stayed there until the shop assistant couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and was about to drive him away, only then did he leave the South Creek Market.


    Since he¡¯d be spending most of his time in the future exploring this place, he did not return to the Water Mansion this time, but went back to the Nameless Desolate Mountain and activated the teleportation ability to return to the city.


    The sky had turned dark when he got back.


    After finishing dinner, he went out for a stroll and made his way to the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    As he walked into the store and waited for a while, Qing Nu came out from the back door. Seeing him, she looked puzzled.


    ¡°Why are you dressed like this? I barely recognized you!¡±


    ¡°I am a fan of ancient styles.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    When Chen Mobai returned, he was too lazy to change and went out in the same ancient-style outfit. After all, there were many who dressed like this in the world of cultivation.


    ¡°By the way, I have a few bottles of elixirs that I bought from the Blind Box Market. Since you¡¯re the expert, can you help me check them out?¡±


    When Chen Mobai left the house, he brought along the four bottles of elixirs that he had stored at the bottom of his drawer. Even though he knew that three of them were Gathering Yuan Pills, he still wanted a professional to confirm it.


    ¡°These pills are poisonous!¡±


    The conclusion drawn by Qing Nu startled Chen Mobai, which was apparent in his facial expression..

 Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Chapter 47- Wealth Creation Plan__l

    Chapter 47: Chapter 47- Wealth Creation Plan__l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°Poison!?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked perplexed.


    This is clearly a Gathering Yuan Pill, it is used for improving realm power, how could it possibly be poisonous?


    ¡°The toxin levels are grossly exceeding the standard, I will check which pharmacy it came from. As a good citizen, I should report this.¡± Qing Nu spoke, looking at the bottom of the pill bottle, it does have various information engraved.


    [Disciple of the Outer Gate of Back to Sky Valley, Lu Yuxuan].


    ¡°Back to Sky Valley? Is that the Huitian Pharmacy from Kuangcang Dongtian?


    But isn¡¯t that meant for brewing spiritual water only?


    A curious expression appeared on Qing Nu¡¯s face. Chen Mobai wiped the sweat off his forehead, quickly shifting the topic to prevent her from probing further and finding out more problems.


    ¡°What does it mean by excessive levels of toxin? Could all these bottles of medicinal pills be sub-standard?¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Sect¡¯s Drug Supervision Bureau stipulates that for all medicinal pills manufactured, the toxin level must be below 0.1%, which is below the detection capabilities of commonly used instruments. The standard medicinal pill, when taken by a cultivator, can be easily resolved by simply circulating one¡¯s spiritual power. The toxicity level of your three bottles of medicinal pills is far beyond the standard, quickly nearing 5%- Although it has the effect of elevating your realm after taking it, you will at least be weakened for ten days to half a month.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt extremely thankful. He owed it to his careful nature, avoiding medicinal pills with unknown origins.


    However, turning his thoughts, he felt sorry for the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm. Even such medicinal pills cost a spirit stone per bottle and they were still in high demand.


    As expected, it¡¯s much better back in the Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°The toxins in this particular pill are slightly less, only about 2%, probably because it¡¯s merely for restoring spiritual power, so the medicinal properties


    are lighter.¡±


    Qing Nu opened another pill bottle Chen Mobai won from the disciple of the Flying Needle Sect, this bottle lacks any identification marking, it¡¯s a product with no details. She took a small spoonful, placed it in her mouth, identifying the medicinal effect and toxin content with her own tongue.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of the toxins?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched her actions, his eyes bulged wide.


    ¡°A little doesn¡¯t matter, besides, we alchemists often also learn pharmacist skills, we will deal with toxins all our lives, we have specialized in the technique of detoxifying.¡±


    Amongst the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, one is a pharmacist, it¡¯s a profession that identifies medical pill information, provides prescription according to each cultivator¡¯s spiritual root and physical constitution, helping to breakthrough and improve realms.


    Generally speaking, an outstanding alchemist is also a distinguished pharmacist.


    Qing Nu appears to have accomplishments in this field too, after tasting it, she took a piece of paper and a pen hanging on the wall, she briskly wrote down several lines.


    ¡°Here, these are the effects I identified from the two types of medicines. It¡¯s better for you not to consume them, it¡¯s best to throw them away.


    In Qing Nu¡¯s eyes, these two types of medicine are sub-standard products from the pharmaceutical factory that should have been destroyed but were taken by dishonest merchants, dumped into the market.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll dispose them when I get back.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement, then asked about the arrival of the raw material for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°Four kinds of auxiliary drugs are here, one of the three main drugs are here too, the remaining two can arrive tomorrow. Do you want to come in and watch the extraction process?¡±


    Qing Nu invited, Chen Mobai has always been interested in alchemy, he nodded and followed her to the back of the pharmacy.


    Unexpectedly, his heart stirred with a touch of nervousness.


    They walked in, it was an open-air courtyard, eight large vats were laid out, half of them were covered.


    ¡°Here you go.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the thing Qing Nu handed over ¨C a mask, he nodded obediently and put it on.


    ¡°The Baizhu has already soaked, roughly after one night, all its medicinal properties will be dissolved. Before my teacher arrives tomorrow morning, I should pour the medicine liquid into the cold brewing machine to concentrate. Chen Mobai followed Qing Nu to a vat with its cover on, after she removed the wooden cover, the sealing spell instantly ceased, a strong medicinal aroma accompanied with a puff of smoke surged upwards.


    However, the mask was indeed very magical, completely isolating that annoying medicinal smell outside his nostrils, hence he couldn¡¯t smell anything.


    ¡°Is the water used for soaking it specially prepared, or is it regular Tianlu


    Water?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Tianlu Water.¡±


    Qing Nu was a little surprised, Chen Mobai actually knew this specialized term. ¡°My teacher mentioned it during class, saying the cost of this water is the lowest, and the effect of soaking and extracting medicine liquid is also quite good.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke, looked at the big vat full of soaked herbs, he nodded for Qing Nu to hurry and cover it back.


    ¡°Even though I can¡¯t smell it, I still feel a bit uncomfortable inside¡­¡± Before he even finished speaking, the bell hanging on the courtyard eaves suddenly rang.


    ¡°A customer is here, I¡¯ll go attend to them first.


    After covering the lid, Qing Nu gestured for Chen Mobai to sit on the rattan chair in the courtyard for a while, then she quickly headed towards the front door shop.


    Not even two minutes later, she came back.


    ¡°Oh, so soon?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s one of my teacher¡¯s classmates, he happens to be on a trip from Huayang Dongtian to Red Sandstone City, just came to visit. But since my teacher is not around, I dare not rashly give him my teacher¡¯s contact information, so I let him leave his name card, I¡¯ll give it to my teacher tomorrow.¡±


    Qing Nu spoke, took out a blue based, black letters, jade quality name card that appears to be a work of art.


    Chen Mobai took a brief look, noticed the two lines written on it.


    [Lan Haitian]


    [Rank-2 Pharmacist]


    For some reason, he thought of the youth who asked for directions last night. Could it be him?


    ¡°He matches your description, appears young but one could feel he¡¯s a conservative person.¡±


    Qing Nu nodded, confirming Chen Mobai¡¯s guess.


    Rank-2 pharmacist, there¡¯s a high chance he¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Chen Mobai asked and then put it at the back of his mind.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first, if there¡¯s anything you need help with, feel free to tell me.¡± The two are already friends now, currently in the stage of cultivating trust, both wanted to show their best side. Qing Nu also lightly nodded, seeing Chen Mobai off.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai ordered online, used nearly half of the remaining three thousand plus goodwill points on his card.


    He is stocking up.


    After these two days of on-site inspections of Southstream Market, he had an initial wealth plan.


    Di Yuan Star had advanced technology whereas Tianhe Realm was rich in resources.

    If he doesn¡¯t become a profiteer, it would be a waste of such a unique difference between the two realms.


    As to what to sell, he made a decision after some contemplation.


    Medicinal pills in both realms would need a large pharmacy factory before cultivators dare to purchase. He knew the Di Yuan Star¡¯s medicinal pills and spiritual water quality significantly exceeded those in the Tianhe Realm, but because they were too good, and the quality was too high, he did not dare to sell them.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t know the origins of Back to Sky Valley, but he did. He saw from ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± that it is one of the seven major sects, and the best alchemical sect in the Eastern Wilderness. Even the medicinal pills produced by this Back to Sky Valley carries such a toxin level, the medicinal pills he sold were almost without poison. Once a cultivator takes it, they would realize immediately. If this caused a sensation, it would certainly attract oppression from Back to Sky Valley.


    That did not align with his principle of keeping a low-profile in the Tianhe Realm..

 Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Wood Spiritual Talisman Store 1

    Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Wood Spiritual Talisman Store 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    Potions can¡¯t be sold.


    The remaining options are cultivation techniques and formations. However, cultivation techniques depend on the heart of Dao and formations are too high-end ¨C they are mostly purchased by large companies as a whole set.


    As for magical artifacts, he doesn¡¯t have enough starting capital.


    So, what was left was ¡°Talisman¡±.


    The Taoist sect¡¯s development of talismans has reached perfection and were applied to all aspects of society. Many people within Taoist sects prefer to focus solely on their cultivation and are not interested in learning minor life spells like the Cleaning Technique or Disease Dispellin Technique. Therefore, they use talismans, which are solidified spell.


    The greatest profit of the talisman factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s mother works from is ¡°Flying Talisman¡±.


    Flying is the dream of every human being, but Qi practitioners can¡¯t cultivate flying techniques, which makes the Flying Talisman the best-selling product. In Daoist sects, symbols such as Cleaning Talisman, Guidance Talisman and those for everyday life are the best selling ones.


    On the other hand, talismans such as the Wood Armor Talisman and Green Arrow Talisman, that Chen Mobai frequently buys, are less popular due to the Taoist sects¡¯ peaceful nature, making these products always in low demand. And because demand was low, the prices of these talismans remained low. However, it was different in the Tianhe Realm.


    Guidance Talismans, Cleaning Talismans and other non-combative talismans are considered rubbish items.


    Chen Mobai saw a business opportunity in this.


    He swept all the goods in the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop he previously visited. The shopkeeper seemed to be a Talisman Maker specialized in the wood-series. There were lower-grade Rank-1 Poison Talismans, Coiling Talismans, Wooden Shield charms, Wood Prison talismans and Detoxification Talismans in his shop, selling at 15 Good Deed Points each.


    Before Chen Mobai obtained the Turtle Shell opportunity, he earned pocket money by trimming talisman papers, a dozen sheets of trimmed small talisman paper which is the raw material of these lower-grade Rank-1 talismans could only be sold for 2 Good Deed Points.


    However, this does not mean that the merchants are ripping people off. The main input for talismans is the ¡°ink¡±. Different talismans may require differently dyed ink which needs to be carefully adjusted, it is a tedious procedure that if not handled properly, you might have to start all over again Of course, the ink required for making low and mid-rank talismans has basically been produced on assembly lines, but high-rank talismans still require Talisman Makers to personally prepare the ink.


    For this reason, the minimum price for an upper-grade Rank-1 talisman has skyrocketed to 500 Good Deed Points per piece.


    Chen Mobai checked the four talismans available in this store.


    Revival Talisman, Wooden House Talisman, Wood Spiritual Talisman and Soldier-transforming Talisman.


    Among them, the ¡°Revival Talisman¡± is equivalent to an enhanced version of Returning Primordial Spirit Water. It can restore consumed spiritual power and remove all negative statuses from the user¡¯s body, returning to peak condition in a very brief amount of time. Its price is 500 Good Deed Points each.


    The ¡°Wooden House Talisman¡± on the other hand is the best-selling life talisman. It can be used when you visit the outdoors and a livable wooden house can be summoned instantly.


    You are also able to customize the blueprint according to your needs during talisman making, such as a single room, a room with a living room, two rooms with a living room, three rooms with a living room, and it can even come with a courtyard. The price is set according to customizability, with the base price for a single room starting at 1,000 Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with the ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡±, he read the introduction and was amazed.


    The Wood Spiritual Talisman allows the wearer to cultivate at the speed of a Perfect Wood-type Heavenly Spiritual Root when activated, but unfortunately, it only lasts for an hour. Moreover, the price of the talisman has surged to 5,000 Good Deed Points.


    The final talisman, which is the Soldier-transforming Talisman, is the only offensive talisman, yet it only costs 3,000 Good Deed Points.


    Apart from these four Rank-1 upper-grade talismans, there is another treasure of the shop ¨C a lower-grade Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    It s also an offensive talisman, and prices a bit low, only 50,000 Good Deed Points.


    When he was in Southstream Market, Chen Mobai inquired about the price of this talisman and they were basically starting from fifty spirit stones.


    He was tempted to buy a Wooden House Talisman and build his secondary base on the barren mountain in the Tianhe Realm, but the Wooden House Talisman was too expensive, so he had to give up for the time being.


    Chen Mobai bought 20 pieces of each of the five lower-grade Rank-1 talismans, and one piece of Revival Talisman, which cost him a total of 2,000 Good Deed Points.


    Looking at the drastic decrease in his remaining balance, Chen Mobai felt a different kind of satisfaction after spending money.


    After reselling these things to the Tianhe Realm, he could basically get a profit rate of ten times.


    With the dream of making a fortune, it took Chen Mobai a long time to enter tranquility and cultivate his metal pillar spirit.


    The next day.


    After returning from school, Chen Mobai first went to the Evergreen Pharmacy. All the medicinal materials were ready and Qing Nu started to show her skills.


    He did not disturb her further and quickly left.


    Because the talismans were purchased online, it would take some time for them to be delivered to him. So today, Chen Mobai could only do some preparatory work for setting up a stall.


    Meanwhile, he decided to get rid of the worn-out items on him.


    Southstream Market.


    When he arrived, he didn¡¯t see the young boy surnamed Liu, he must have gotten some business. However, the other boy who was a guide last time was there. He was excited when he saw Chen Mobai, but as he seemed to recall something, he didn¡¯t dare to come over.


    But Chen Mobai needed his help and waved him over.


    ¡°Senior, you were looking for me?¡±


    Looking nervous, Qi Er paid his respects to Chen Mobai and then came over.


    ¡°I have some stuff to sell, but there are too many different items and it¡¯s too slow to set up a stall. Do you have any other channels?¡±


    ¡°Would senior like it to be quick, or slow?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by quick or slow?¡±


    Chen Mobai was interested and continued to ask.


    ¡°If you want it to be fast, you can directly sell your goods to any of the twenty-six stores in Southstream Market, as long as there¡¯s no issue with the origin of the items, these stores will accept anything. If you want it to be slow, you can hand over your items to the stall owners and leave them there. The stall owner will give you half of the spiritual stones base on the value of the item, and the remaining half will be given to you after the item is sold. After the sale, they will take 10% of the total as their commission.¡±


    The so-called stall owners, are those with the highest reputation among the market peddlers in Southstream Market.


    In fact, these people are also disciples of the six major forces, only facilitating them to control the whole Southstream Market.


    Qi Er explained the procedures to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What are these six major forces?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it was before, Chen Mobai certainly wouldn¡¯t ask such common sense questions, but during his last visit, he got to know that many cultivators from other countries often visit this Market, so pretending to be an outsider wouldn¡¯t attract any attention.


    The four Foundation Establishment families native to our Yun Country might not be familiar to you, but you definitely have heard of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Indeed, Chen Mobai had heard of them. According to the Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, both are among the seven major sects. The Divine Wood Sect was even split from the Five Elements Sect. The disciples of the two sects usually end up fighting whenever they meet.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve this short sword to give to you. I also want to sell a Qi Cultivation technique book and some potions, of course there is no issue with their origins. Do you think those stores will buy them?¡±


    Qi Er accepted the short sword from Chen Mobai, his eyes sparkling at the sight. Although this thing isn¡¯t worth ten gold pieces, if he can help this senior successfully close the deal, the senior might give him more rewards if he¡¯s pleased. So he was very motivated to help out..

 Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 49: 22 Spirit Stones_l

    Chapter 49: Chapter 49: 22 Spirit Stones_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°May I ask what the name of your cultivation technique is?


    ¡°Blackwater Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I see. I¡¯m afraid you might not fetch a good price for it since the first seven levels are widely available in the market.¡±


    ¡°My technique can be cultivated up to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and comes with three accompanying spells. They can be used all the way to the verge of Foundation Establishment.


    Upon hearing this, Qi Er promptly patted his chest, assuring that he would


    fetch a good price.


    ¡°However, if you trust me, you could sell this technique directly to Elder He. He is a stall owner who specializes in selling cultivation techniques, and he has always wanted to collect the complete Blackwater Cultivation technique. He would definitely see the value in having a complete copy of the technique with all nine levels and three accompanying spells. Even if you sell it to a stall owner, they will probably end up reselling it to him; it would be more straightforward to skip the middleman.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Sure enough, seeking out these local wheelers and dealers when selling items was wisdom. He was also aware of the old man He who sold techniques; it was he who sold the seven levels of Blackwater Cultivation in Southstream Market.


    If Chen Mobai were to set up a stall to sell the nine levels of Blackwater Cultivation, it would be like blatantly trying to usurp He¡¯s business, which would certainly be deeply offensive. It would be better to directly sell it to He. Not only could he exchange it for some spirit stones, but he could also earn some goodwill.


    Qi Er brought Chen Mobai to a stall. After striking up a conversation with an elderly man sporting a goatee and a clear complexion, the three of them quickly got down to business.


    ¡°Very good, the previous seven levels are all authentic.


    The old man was named He Qun, a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi


    Cultivation. He took the books in which Chen Mobai had freshly copied the first eight levels of the technique from Chen Mobai. After carefully verifying them, he confirmed that the technique was correct and nodded approvingly.


    ¡°I intend to sell this complete copy of Blackwater Cultivation to Elder He. How much would it be worth?¡±


    ¡°How much do you wish to sell it for?¡±


    ¡°Selling price¡­ twenty spirit stones, what do you say?


    Chen Mobai had spent quite a bit of time in front of He Qun¡¯s stall previously and was well aware of the prices for which he sold Blackwater Cultivation. The price he quoted was right on the limit, causing He¡¯s eyes to narrow as he naturally started to barter.


    ¡°Friend, among loose cultivators, not many require a cultivation technique that goes up to the ninth level. Although your version of Blackwater Cultivation is complete, it is difficult to cultivate and thus not easy to sell. Furthermore, I already possess the first seven levels and two accompanying spells. I think asking for 20 spirit stones is a bit excessive.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have much experience with haggling, so when he heard what He Qun had to say, he was stuck and didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    ¡°Elder He, it¡¯s known that Blackwater Cultivation might be difficult to sell for others, but isn¡¯t it ideally suited for you?¡±


    At this point, Qi Er chimed in, taking over the conversation.


    ¡°Oh? And what do you mean by that?¡±


    He Qun squinted his eyes at Qi Er, a hidden threat radiating from his gaze. Qi Er somewhat recoiled, but remembering his slim chances at cultivation, he mustered his courage and spoke.


    ¡°Elder He, aren¡¯t you cultivating Blackwater Cultivation? For you, it should be necessary to collect the complete version. After all, for us loose cultivators, reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation is the only way to join one of the seven major sects and have a chance at getting a Foundation Building Pill.


    Upon hearing this, He Qun¡¯s eyes widened in shock, and he glared coldly at Qi


    Er.


    ¡°Elder, isn¡¯t it true that the later levels of the technique are worth more, and that only after mastering the Cold Ice Technique can this cultivation technique show its full potential?¡±


    Once Qi Er spoke up, Chen Mobai snapped out of his daze. He stepped forward to interrupt the glare from He. Sensing his cultivation level, He grudgingly nodded.


    ¡°Fine then, 20 spirit stones. But you have to swear that after you¡¯ve sold this copy of Blackwater Cultivation to me, you won¡¯t sell it to anyone else.¡± Chen Mobai gave it some thought. Although he felt that selling the exclusive rights to this technique for 20 spirit stones was a little unjustified, since he had decided to focus on the business of talismans later on, acquiring start-up funds sooner was the right move. Thus, he nodded immediately.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    He Qun counted up twenty spirit stones from his grey cloth bag and reluctantly handed them over to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai then passed over the ninth level of Blackwater Cultivation and the Cold Ice Technique.


    After they had each checked their merchandise, they looked at each other.


    Chen Mobai then waved and left the stall with Qi Er.


    Next, he sold three Juling Pill bottles bearing the Back to Sky Valley logo to a cultivator who specialized in selling pills. However, since they were secondhand, despite no loss of potency, they could only sell for 2 spirit stones.


    Even so, Chen Mobai was very satisfied.


    The remaining Spirit Revitalizing Pill bottle, which didn¡¯t bear any logo, was recognized by the pill-selling cultivator to be in good condition, but he still refused to purchase it.


    The final item, the hand crossbow, was also successfully sold for 450 taels of gold thanks to Qi Er¡¯s introduction. He even helped to exchange the gold for gold tickets at the Five Elements sect¡¯s bank.


    While selling the medicine, a brilliant idea to make money came to Chen Mobai.


    Could he purchase empty pill bottles from Back to Sky Valley and make a massive profit out of it?


    However, it was just a thought. He still wanted to conduct business in a respectable manner. His education on Earth had taught Chen Mobai that maintaining a good reputation was a surefire way to keep the money flowing. ¡°You worked hard today. Here¡¯s a talisman for you, as a token of appreciation.¡± With 22 spirit stones and a stack of gold tickets in his arms, Chen Mobai was in high spirits. He took out a Green Arrow Talisman and gave it to Qi Er.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder. If you have similar work in the future, feel free to call upon me. Here in Southstream Market, there¡¯s no one we don¡¯t know.¡±


    Although Qi Er didn¡¯t know the grade of the talisman, he knew that even the lowest-grade talismans were worth over a hundred taels of gold in the market. Without any hesitation, he joyously accepted the Green Arrow Talisman from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°By the way, will He Qun cause any trouble for you since you¡¯ve offended him today?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was about to leave, he remembered this issue. He didn¡¯t want Qi Er to face any repercussions because of him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder. Though our cultivation levels are low, we have people backing us. Our society leader happens to be the Liu family¡¯s Guest Elder who is quite a prominent figure in Southstream Market. He Qun is known to act prudently and wouldn¡¯t harm me over such a minor issue.¡±


    Qi Er patted his chest and boasted about his connections.

    ¡°The Liu family? The one that breeds the Azure Blood Carp?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the accounts recorded by Liu Yanpei. The document specifically mentioned this family. The Azure Blood Carp fry in Lake Azure Cloud were all purchased from this family.


    ¡°Yes, the very same Liu family, one of the four Foundation Establishment families in Southstream Market. Reportedly, they¡¯ve even connected with the Five Elements sect. A few years ago, they sent two children with True Spirit Roots to the Five Elements sect. It seems like they are planning to fully commit to this sect.¡±


    Qi Er spoke in a secretive manner. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand any of this, so he could only reply vaguely.


    However, thanks to this reminder, before he left, he went to the largest bookstore in the market again and bought the unfinished ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡±, along with ¡°An Introduction to Local Cultivation in Nanxi¡±, ¡°Distribution Map of Cultivation Powers in Yun Country¡±, and others..

 Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Achieving Divine Sense_l

    Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Achieving Divine Sense_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After purchasing the books, Chen Mobai left Southstream Market.


    As he left, two cultivators emerged from the shadowy alleyway.


    ¡°Should we follow him?¡±


    ¡°He Qun said he is at least at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, potentially hiding his true cultivation level, he might be a late-stage Qi Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s not follow then.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Based on his attire, he could be from a significant sect. We¡¯ve just managed to settle down in this market, it¡¯s not worth risking exposure for twenty Spirit Stones.¡±


    Due to the substantial amount of money he now has, Chen Mobai did not return to the Cultivation Room on Wild Mountain but went back to the Water Mansion instead.


    With twenty-two cleanly cut, transparent Spirit Stones before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of elation.


    If he were to bring those stones back to Earth, he could exchange them for two hundred and twenty thousand Good Deed Points at the bank.


    However, Chen Mobai certainly would not hand these Spirit Stones over to the national bank. Wouldn¡¯t that be unabashedly inviting the Immortal Sects to investigate the source of his vast wealth?


    He bagged two of the stones and stored the rest in his Water Mansion.


    Prior to going home, he did not forget to water the Green Paulownia seedling.


    The leaves appeared slightly greener than before, perhaps due to the decent Spiritual Energy in the Water Mansion.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai activated his teleportation key and was back in his room amidst a silver light.


    Good news kept coming his way.


    The next day at school, he received a message from Qing Nu.


    She said all the herbs had been cold extracted and all that was left was the final step of mixing.


    Initially, Chen Mobai thought he would be anxious, but surprisingly, he was exceptionally calm. Perhaps it¡¯s true what they say¡ªthe thicker the wallet, the more confident the man.


    When fortune destined, heaven and earth moved together.


    During his usual cultivation of the ¡®Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡¯ in the school¡¯s Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai noticed that he had unexpectedly broken through his bottleneck. The seed he had been contemplating broke through the soil and sprouted a green bud.


    At that instant, he had thoroughly grasped the transformation of the soul.


    ¡°This is¡­Divine Sense!¡±


    Having felt it once before, Chen Mobai was surprisingly calm. Inside the Cultivation Room, he observed himself internally. His colourful Spiritual Power was turning like a slow-moving whirlpool. However, the whirlpool was quite distorted and not round enough.


    After developing Divine Sense, he could actively correct the circulation of spiritual power within his body.


    Guided by the techniques described by Qing Ping, Chen Mobai slowly channeled his Spiritual Power in a clockwise motion to his Dantian, and slowly corrected the tilted whirlpool. After completing one cycle, the whirlpool which was previously a bit angular was finally less protrudent.


    He felt that in a little while, he should be able to completely form the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian. Once this happens, the Five Elements Cultivation will automatically help condense his Spiritual Power, saving a significant amount of effort.


    According to the information on the Five Elements Cultivation, if this Spiritual Power Vortex is formed, it could even boost the probability of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai took every word of Qing Ping as gospel. Now that he had developed his Divine Sense and could take the next step, he felt that his spiritual power seemed slightly refined.


    ¡°When the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water concoction is complete, I¡¯ll hand it over to Dad and also mention this to him.¡±


    Lost in his thoughts, his phone alarm rang¡ªit was time to leave the school¡¯s Cultivation Room.


    Chen Mobai stood up to leave.


    ¡°I heard that the representative from the Repairing Heaven Institute has arrived today.¡±


    ¡°The representative from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is said to be from the Bian family.¡±


    ¡°So only Jumang and Kunpeng of the four Daoist Academies are left. They should arrive soon given that they need ample time to arrange for their entrance exams.¡±


    As soon as he stepped out, a large group of students who had finished their cultivation at the same time were gathered in small clusters, sharing tidbits of information they had heard.


    ¡°I finally reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation!¡±


    A loud, joyful cheer rang in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. He turned and found it was Lu Hongsheng¡ªhis classmate.


    ¡°Impressive, well done.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations on no longer being bottom of the class.¡±


    Two of his girl classmates teased, drawing a rebuke from Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too quick to judge. I¡¯ve been laying a solid foundation and broke through naturally. Unlike some people who relied on pills, I wonder if their cultivation level is even stable yet.¡±


    As Lu Hongsheng spoke, he intentionally glanced in Chen Mobai¡¯s direction. He had always held a grudge against Chen Mobai for breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation during the holiday period.


    He had been harbouring resentment all this while, determined to prove himself better.


    Furthermore, he was a firm believer in cultivating without using concoctions. He believed that doing so would yield purer spiritual power which would make the transformation of Spiritual Power into liquid easier during Foundation Establishment, thus increasing the chances of success.


    ¡°Old Chen, I broke through a realm today, why don¡¯t we celebrate with a grand meal?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai ignoring him, Lu Hongsheng deliberately approached, clearly wanting to show off.


    However, Chen Mobai was now at a higher cultivation level. After developing his Divine Sense, as long as his Spiritual Power was supplemented enough, he could easily step into the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable distance from these classmates who were still in the middle phase of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Some other day, I have plans with a friend today.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he turned to leave.


    ¡°A friend? Apart from us classmates, do you have other friends? I am in a good mood today, why don¡¯t you join us?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng walked up to stop Chen Mobai.


    However, Chen Mobai did not slow down. He released his sixth level Qi Cultivation Spiritual Power instantly, breaking through Lu Hongsheng¡¯s Qi aura who had just advanced to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°How is it possible¡­¡±


    After the aura was broken, Lu Hongsheng swayed unsteadily. Chen Mobai put a hand on his shoulder to anchor him.


    ¡°After a breakthrough, one shouldn¡¯t get too excited, or else, there¡¯s a high probability of falling back.¡±


    After offering this piece of advice, Chen Mobai removed his hand from his classmate¡¯s shoulder and left the Cultivation Room.


    ¡°This guy, when did he break through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation?!¡±


    Lu Hongsheng stood in place, mumbling to himself in disbelief.


    ¡°The sixth level of Qi Cultivation!? Might be even higher.¡±

    Song Zheng appeared, he had also just left from a Cultivation Room. He had planned to leave, but unexpectedly saw a fantastic scene.


    The others might not have noticed, but as a seventh level Qi Cultivator, he could sense an active Divine Sense fluctuating within Chen Mobai.


    This was a sign of developing Divine Sense, indicating that the bottleneck of the late Qi Cultivation phase had been broken through.


    ¡°It turns out that apart from Yan Bingxuan, there is another person in the class worth paying attention to.¡±


    Song Zheng recalled Chen Mobai frequently entering and exiting Old Ding¡¯s office. After pondering for a moment, he turned around to find his teacher..

    After leaving school, Chen Mobai headed for Evergreen Pharmacy.


    His original intention was to lend a helping hand, but Qing Nu wanted to perform the final step of Water Method Alchemy by herself -undisturbed and focused, which ensured high efficiency.


    With no other option, Chen Mobai could only wish her good luck before taking


    his leave.


    Since he was not needed here, he decided to go and make some money in the


    Tianhe Realm instead.


    Upon returning home, he unboxed the package delivered to him. As he anticipated, it contained the Spirit Talismans he had purchased from the Wood Spiritual Talisman store. The shopkeeper had sorted them neatly by type and placed them in an exquisite wooden box.


    Chen Mobai drew one talisman from each type to sense them, confirming their quality before happily acknowledging receipt on his phone.


    With a click, he was transported to the Water Mansion.


    It had been a while since he last cultivated here and he curiously noticed the Spiritual Energy seemed to have become denser.


    Yet now that he had mastered Divine Sense, he could concentrate on his Five Elements Cultivation. He had also brought with him the unopened vial of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that he had purchased.


    However, upon checking the time, he decided to visit Southstream Market first.


    As the market closed at night when cultivators preferred to meditate and cultivate, no one squandered this golden time on business.


    Once again at the market, Chen Mobai bumped into Qi Er at the entrance. Seeing him, Qi Er came over to greet him and ask about his plans to set up a stall.


    -If senior wants to set up a stall, you need to apply to the market manager first, pay a Spirit Stone processing fee, receive a blanket, then find your spot according to the blanket¡¯s number, and then you can start your business,¡± he explained.


    After listening to Qi Er¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai understood that setting up a stall wasn¡¯t as free and easy as he had thought, and was still under the market¡¯s administration.


    Moreover, one Spirit Stone only navigates the administration for one month. After a month, if you wish to continue, you must pay another Spirit Stone.


    The only positive, however, was that no deposit was required. After all, most of the people in Southstream Market were Loose Cultivators with limited resources. Having acquired some goods from various undisclosed sources, they set up their stalls to sell their items. Usually, in just a month, most of the goods would be sold out.


    After earning Spirit Stones, they would retreat to their rented cave dwellings to cultivate until their Spirit Stones were used up, upon which they would return to the market to restock and set up their stall again.


    Hearing Qi Er describe the cultivators¡¯ way of life, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the live-for-the-moment mentality of cultivators in the Tianhe


    Realm.


    Market stall management was overseen by Wu Hong, a cultivator with Qi Cultivation¡¯s ninth stage from the Wu family, one of the four major Cultivating families in the local area.


    To someone of his stature, running stalls was an insignificant matter. Therefore, after Chen Mobai paid one Spirit Stone, he was immediately handed a blanket.


    ¡°Senior Wu is the least fond of troublemakers among the six managers of Southstream Market. However, if things get out of hand on a vendor¡¯s stall, he is known to be cold and ruthless. He would directly expel the troublemakers from the market. Moreover, those without a strong background, typically disappear without a trace after being expelled from the market,¡± said Qi Er, seemingly oblivious to Chen Mobai¡¯s silent shock.


    [This Tianhe Realm really is in disarray.]


    Having grown up in a place full of order like Dili Elementary School, Chen Mobai always felt out of place in the cultivation environment of Tianhe Realm.


    However, he could only reassure himself by minding his own business, honestly doing business here, without making trouble or meddlesome where it is not wanted.


    ¡°Senior, I have one more question. Are the Spirit Talismans you¡¯re selling made by yourself or did you purchase them from somewhere else?


    As Qi Er led Chen Mobai towards the Talisman sales stalls, he asked this question while they were walking.


    ¡°They are for sale on behalf of a friend.¡±


    ¡°I see. Each line of business in the market has a stall owner. The owner of the Spirit Talisman business is named Jia Sui. He himself is a remarkable Talisman Maker. If you want to sell a Rank-1 high-grade Spirit Talisman, it¡¯s best to notify him first.¡±


    Although Qi Er didn¡¯t make it explicit, Chen Mobai understood the implications after some contemplation.


    Rank-1 high-grade talismans are always traded in Spirit Stones. The market for them was clearly dominated by someone. If Chen Mobai wanted a slice of the pie, it was better to make his intentions clear upfront to avoid any confusion.


    ¡°Do we know anything about the background of this Jia Sui?


    ¡°He used to be an assistant in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Paper Shop. After his master returned to the sect, he started his own stall. Owing to his past relations, he gets talisman paper, talisman skins, and spiritual ink at cost price. Any cultivator in the market who makes their talismans usually buys from him. It is said that he gives kickbacks to each successive shopkeeper of the Talisman Paper Shop, so we treat him as a representative of the Divine


    Wood Sect.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai fell silent.


    Should kickback arrangements be talked about in public?


    ¡°Senior, we¡¯ve arrived, here it is.¡±


    At this moment, Qi Er pointed to a corner on the eastern side street of the market.


    The edge of the cobblestone-paved pathway had a rectangular outline drawn in white. In the middle was written ¡°East 19¡±.


    Chen Mobai spread out the blanket he had rented for a Spirit Stone on the white rectangle. It fit in perfectly within the lines, not a millimeter out of place.


    Next to him, three other vendors were also selling Spirit Talismans. The two men and one woman, all cultivators, focused their attention on him.


    ¡°Ahem, my name is Chen Guixian, a newcomer trying to make a living. I look forward to your guidance in the future,¡± Chen Mobai introduced himself using a name he had thought of earlier. He raised his hand in greeting to the surrounding sellers of Spirit Talismans, eliciting three rolled eyes.


    ¡°Senior, I¡¯ll take my leave now. If you need anything, you can find me at the market¡¯s entrance,¡± said Qi Er after completing his task of guiding Chen Mobai. Seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately handed him to taels worth of gold. Money from selling the Hand Crossbow was exchanged for banknotes worth 400 taels, with 50 taels in ready cash left for daily expenses. He had spent 30 taels on books yesterday, leaving 20 taels remaining.


    Qi Er made no further courtesies and happily accepted the offering.


    Chen Mobai stood on the street and displayed two each of the five different types of Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Talismans he had purchased from the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop, before placing a Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow Talisman on top.


    He had initially wanted to put up the Wood Armor Talisman too, but after a second thought, decided to hold off on it. He would unlock those talismans once business picked up.


    Moreover, that was a life-saving talisman. He reckoned it was best not to reveal it just yet.


    However, it turned out he had worried for nothing.

    By sunset, the three vendors next to him had packed up for the day, but he had not sold a single talisman.


    On his first day of setting up shop, Chen Mobai made nothing, swept up his talismans in dejection, and rolled up his blanket. With his head hung low, he left the market.


    But upon returning to the Water Mansion, his spirits lifted.


    After taking the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he began the long-awaited meditation for Qi cultivation.


    Under his control, the multi-colored adaptive Spiritual Power corrected minute deviations and pathways. Following the tips provided by Qing Ping¡¯s teaching material, his Spiritual Energy followed the Grand Circulation cycle. The pale blue Spiritual Energy, resembling water mist, wafted around the center of the grand hall in the Water Mansion, surrounding Chen Mobai. It gave him the appearance of being an immortal bathing in the glow of dawn..

 Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Failure of Foundation

    Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Failure of Foundation


    Establishment¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Here!¡±


    Early in the morning, Qing Nu called Chen Mobai over and handed him sixteen vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°It¡¯s my first time and I¡¯m inexperienced. I only managed to create so much.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, a slight blush crept onto her face, clearly a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already done very well. Rest well. I will bring you the next batch of medicinal ingredients in a few days.¡±


    From the result, it seemed like a loss of more than two thousand Good Deed Points, but Chen Mobai still comforted her with a smile. After all, his Good Deed Points came easily, and he didn¡¯t feel distressed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Listening to the gentle words of the boy in front of her, Qing Nu lifted her slightly lowered head and couldn¡¯t help but wipe her reddened eyes.


    Chen Mobai comforted her a few more times and asked for leave from his head teacher.


    !!..


    He planned to go to Red Dawn Institution to deliver the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to his father, who was in retreat, and a copy of his understanding of the Foundation Establishment, which ranked relatively high on the auxiliary software.


    Taking the bus, it took Chen Mobai nearly an hour and a half to arrive at the Red Dawn Institution.


    Luckily, this place is also one of Red Sandstone City¡¯s tourist attractions. So, there¡¯s no need for any procedures to enter, otherwise, he would have to ask Chen Xinglan to come out and meet him.


    At the foot of the Azure Spiritual Peak, Chen Mobai again met Yan Xiang, who had once delivered the Green Paulownia Seedling.


    ¡°Waiting for Old Chen, right? He usually comes out at noon.¡±


    Yan Xiang had a pleasant expression, holding a roster in his hand, as if he was checking something.


    ¡°Mr. Yan, are you busy? Is there anything I can help with?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked politely. The latter immediately waved his hand, indicating he could handle it.


    ¡°Daily meals have to be prepared for the representatives of the Daoist Academy and the colleges who are living on the Spiritual Peak. Some have dietary restrictions. I just need to check the ingredients.¡±


    After Yan Xiang spoke, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, unconsciously, half of the semester had already passed.


    In about forty-five days, it will be the university entrance exam.


    ¡°How are you doing? Are you confident in getting into the Daoist Academy?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not arrogant. His face had an expression of modesty. Mainly because lately, he had been busy exploring the Tianhe Realm and had not done his homework for a long time. He didn¡¯t have much confidence in his knowledge reserves.


    However, he had already cultivated the Divine Sense, which greatly increased his learning efficiency. He just needed to work hard during this period to catch up with the progress.


    But the entrance exam cutoff is easy. The real challenge is the entrance exams for the various Daoist Academies.


    Especially the entrance exams for the four major Daoist Academies. The difficulty can be described as hellish every year. Many years, because there were no qualified candidates, none were admitted from Red Sandstone City.


    But it was exactly this policy of preferring to have a gap than admitting inferior candidates that made getting into the four major Daoist Academies the lifelong dream of every student in the cultivation world.


    Squeak!


    At this moment, the wooden door of Chen Xinglan¡¯s Cave Dwelling opened, and he came out.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to focus on your exams? Why are you wasting time here?¡±


    At first, Chen Xinglan greeted Yan Xiang. After Yan Xiang left, he frowned and reprimanded his son.


    ¡°I rushed to buy some Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and brought it for you. There¡¯s also some Foundation Establishment knowledge I collected online. You can take a look when you have time.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over ten well-packaged vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to Chen Xinglan, along with a notebook he had printed at a print shop.


    ¡°Son, I understand your intentions. But I hope you understand that seeing you achieve something makes me happier and prouder than successfully establishing my foundation.¡±


    Chen Xinglan said to Chen Mobai sternly. The latter stared back into his father¡¯s eyes for a long while before lowering his head.


    ¡°I understand, Dad.¡±


    ¡°This Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is intermediate grade at best. Its effects aren¡¯t significant for me, but since it¡¯s your intention, I¡¯ll accept half of it. As for the Foundation Establishment knowledge, the library of the Red Dawn Institution has at least a thousand books, all with similar knowledge relating to my ¡®Melting Fire Technique¡¯. Don¡¯t waste time on this in the future. Work hard. If you can enter one of the top ten colleges, your mother and I will be proud of you for the rest of our lives.¡±


    After their father-son talk, Chen Mobai understood Chen Xinglan¡¯s feelings.


    For a father, his son¡¯s success is even more gratifying than his own.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t understand. Perhaps because he didn¡¯t have a son yet.


    But he didn¡¯t confront his father. He just nodded silently.


    After having lunch together, father and son parted ways. Chen Xinglan returned to his cave dwelling, continuing his retreat.


    Chen Mobai stood at the bus stop, waiting for public transportation.


    ¡°Young man, I didn¡¯t expect to see you again here.¡±


    Just then, a familiar voice rang out.


    When Chen Mobai turned his head, he saw the young man in the blue and white long robe standing there, offering a friendly greeting.


    ¡°Hello, are you a student here?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in response and asked.


    ¡°I just came to visit an older student who¡¯s teaching here. I haven¡¯t learned your name yet. I¡¯ve only been in this blessed land of Danxia for a few days, and encountering you twice shows that we are deeply connected.¡±


    ¡°My name is Chen Mobai, I am a student at the Fifth High School of Xianmen!¡±


    On Tianhe star, Chen Mobai would certainly not dare to reveal his identity. However, here on Digua Star, as a disciple of Xianmen, he did not hide it.


    ¡°I am Lan Haitian.¡±


    As soon as Lan Haitian gave his name, Chen Mobai remembered the business card Qing Nu had held in her hand. It said the owner was a classmate of the owner of the Evergreen Pharmacy. It could indeed be a real cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    While Chen Mobai mulled over this, he kept his expression neutral.


    Just then, the bus to Red Sandstone City arrived. Chen Mobai said something and said goodbye to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°My bus is here. I¡¯m leaving now.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for his business today, Chen Mobai would have liked to chat more with Lan Haitian.


    ¡°We meet again when destiny leads us.¡±


    After saying goodbye, Lan Haitian walked towards the highest Spiritual Peak of the Red Dawn Institution.


    ¡°You¡¯re late. We¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡±


    Under the canopy of the Azure Paulownia Tree, several people were already sitting. Seeing Lan Haitian approaching, a young man in a white suit frowned and spoke.


    ¡°I apologize. I was having a late-night conversation with a senior brother I haven¡¯t seen for a long time yesterday. I lost track of time in the excitement.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s face showed regret.


    ¡°Okay, now that everyone is here, let¡¯s take a look at this year¡¯s test paper.¡±


    The man in red sitting in the main seat nodded and signaled the man in green next to him to hand out the copied exam papers to the representatives of the four major Daoist Academies and a few colleges.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Shi Qing supposed to be in charge?¡±


    ¡°She made a breakthrough a few days ago, and closed herself off. She sent a message to hand over the work to me.¡±


    As he spoke, the man in red robe showed a look of annoyance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai, with a large bag of exchanged gold, arrived at Wu¡¯s Gold Shop, where he had done business before.


    ¡°Cough, cough.Jt¡¯s you¡­¡±


    However, the condition of Wu Wan was indeed shocking for Chen Mobai.


    The once plump and elegant young figure was now thin with white hair, looking as if he had aged from a teenager to middle-aged man overnight.


    ¡°Failed to form my foundation, lost vitality and my Qi Cultivation Realm has fallen from Perfection, making me a laughingstock..¡±

 Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Expelled from the Master’s Door_1

    Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Expelled from the Master¡¯s Door_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Even though he knew the success rate of Foundation Establishment was very low, witnessing failure first-hand still gave Chen Mobai a tremendous shock.


    He still remembered the first time he saw Wu Wan, holding a book, exuding an air of gentle elegance and treating others with the warmth of a spring breeze.


    If it were not for the later attempt to orchestrate a trade to generate points, Chen Mobai would have had a very good first impression of him.


    ¡°Are you here to sell gold?¡±


    ¡°Yes, look at these, how much can they be sold for?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask about Wu Wan¡¯s failure in Foundation Establishment. As soon as the latter spoke, he immediately placed the forty gold bars he had exchanged from the Five Elements Silver Shop at the Southstream Market onto the table.


    ¡°Wait a moment, I need to get a scale.¡±


    Wu Wan lightly coughed and took down a Magic Artifact scale from a shelf, specifically designed to measure gold weight and purity.


    Because the gold used for trade among cultivators in the Tianhe Realm was all refined with spiritual power, there were absolutely no issues in terms of purity.


    ¡°The price of gold has risen a bit recently, these are valued at 4300 Good Deed Points, is that acceptable?¡±


    !!..


    ¡°No problem, let¡¯s go with this price.


    Chen Mobai nodded, and the two quickly completed the trade.


    ¡°Do you sell the needle box?¡±


    After Wu Wan had made the account, he suddenly asked another question.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m using it myself.¡±


    ¡°If there are future Magic Artifact appraisals, you can come to me again, I¡¯ll


    give you a discount.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After agreeing, Chen Mobai bid his farewell and left Wu¡¯s Gold Shop.


    He wondered if Wu Wan could cultivate to the state of Qi Cultivation Perfection again before he turned 60. If he could, there¡¯s no doubt that Wu Wan wouldn¡¯t give up the chance to attempt Foundation Establishment again.


    Many cultivators of the immortal sects do not consider marriage before the age of 60, all for the sake of achieving Foundation Establishment.


    Take Chen Mobai¡¯s grandparents for example, both of them attempted Foundation Establishment twice before they turned 60, and only after passing the prime of their life did they start considering the continuity of family lineage, forming a family. For this reason, after they had given birth to Chen Xinglan and his two siblings, these two elders who had depleted their life essence prematurely passed away when Chen Mobai was still very young.


    This forms one of the two mainstream factions within the sect of immortality. One believes that being trapped by sentiment will undoubtedly lead to a failed path of immortality. The other side advocates that only by caring for the world can one achieve the Way of God Transformation, transcending the mundane


    world.


    Chen Mobai has seen debates between cultivators of both factions on numerous forums and has pondered over this questioning on his own.


    If it¡¯s possible, he would naturally wish to focus on cultivation, indifferent to the mundane issues of the world. But if he has to abandon family and friends and leave behind feelings to achieve Foundation Establishment, he will


    definitely refuse.


    At this moment, how he wished he had a mentor to help dispel the doubts in


    his heart.


    Unknowingly, he had already returned home.


    Upon looking up, he saw the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    He couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile. After selling the gold, he now has a balance of over 6,000 Good Deed Points in his card, which is just enough to buy another batch of medicine ingredients for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    But to avoid drawing attention from the monitoring department of the immortal sect by trading too much gold, he has been planning to investigate the medicinal material market in the Tianhe Realm to see if he can purchase the three main medicinal materials there.


    The four supplementary medicines are all industrial raw materials that can only be produced here in Di Yuan Star. Fortunately, the prices are cheap, and they are not just needed for concocting medicine, so buying a bit more should not be an issue.


    Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t afford further thought to the matter.


    The only reality is the improvement of his own cultivation level. As long as there is an ample supply of Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water refined by Qing Nu, he, who has already cultivated a divine sense, can advance to the seventh stage of Qi Cultivation before the entrance exam of the four major Daoist Academies.


    He walked into the Evergreen Pharmacy and waited for a while.


    But Qing Nu hadn¡¯t shown up.


    Huh?


    Has the small formation that notifies them in the back yard malfunctioned? Having waited for a while longer and still seeing no sign of her, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but call out.


    ¡°Is anyone there!¡±


    After calling out three times, a tall, high-nosed, deep eyed, old man in a purple robe walked out just as Chen Mobai was about to call Qing Nu. The old man gave him an annoyed look.


    ¡ö¡öWhy are you making such a fuss? Won¡¯t you let a person take a midday nap!¡±


    ¡°Um, may I ask if you are Elder Gu? I¡¯m a friend of Qing Nu.


    Qing Nu had once mentioned her teacher¡¯s name to Chen Mobai. Out of respect for the Foundation Establishment senior, he remembered it clearly and asked after a polite greeting.


    ¡°From now on, don¡¯t come here looking for her. I¡¯ve already cast her out of my tutelage!¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened, he couldn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°Elder Gu, what do you mean by this? What has happened to Qing Nu?¡±


    ¡°From the sound of your voice, it seems I do remember. You are the young boss who provides for my unworthy apprentice to concoct her pills. Hmph, it is one thing for that wretch to make you a scapegoat, but she shouldn¡¯t be practicing on my medicine pool. Having committed such a taboo, being cast out of my tutelage is nothing! If this had happened in the past, I would have destroyed her cultivation level!¡±


    ¡°just because of that, you have such a feudalists and stubborn way of thinking!¡±


    Hearing Gu Changfeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice instinctively rose in defense of Qing Nu.


    -What audacity for a young man, daring to speak to me in that manner.¡± Gu Changfeng was furious. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his powerful spiritual power burst out, causing Chen Mobai difficulty in breathing, his legs weakened, nearly bringing him to his knees.


    Under the invisible heavy pressure, the anger in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart gradually faded and clarity emerged in his mind. He couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°Elder Gu, Qing Nu used your medicine pool to concoct pills simply because she was commissioned by me. If you are angry, I can compensate you for your losses, even help you rebuild a brand new medicine pool. Qing Nu is innocent, casting her out of your tutelage, I will live in guilt for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°Quite the bold statement, do you know how many Good Deed Points the smallest of medicine pools cost?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, please instruct, I may not have that many Good Deed Points for the time being, but I certainly won¡¯t deny the debt.¡±


    ¡°The medicine pool in my store, rank-2 lower-grade, eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have that much now, but the moment I gather enough, I will definitely give it to you, asking only for you to change your decision.¡±


    Hearing these words, Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. Unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, he had already retracted his spiritual pressure, Chen Mobai was able to breathe freely again.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late, I¡¯ve already cancelled her apprentice registration at the Ministry of Education¡¯s Hall of Heritage, she is no longer my apprentice.¡±


    Having said that, he waved his sleeve and a strong burst of spiritual power pushed Chen Mobai out of the pharmacy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t come back again, you¡¯re not welcome here.


    ¡°Then can you tell me where I can find Qing Nu?


    Bang!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He was answered with a heavy slamming of the door.


    Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t break open a door sealed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he could only turn around and head to the place where he remembered Qing Nu lived.


    He remembered where Qing Nu got off the bus when they went to see the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe. It was two stops away from here, and which he was too impatient to wait for the bus for, so he directly used the Propulsion Technique to hurry along.


    Inside the pharmacy, Gu Changfeng watched Chen Mobai¡¯s rushing figure leave, his face filled with silence. He turned his head and looked at a sapphire black-lettered jade card placed on the counter.


    [Lan Haitian]..

 Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Post-processing_l

    Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Post-processing_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai tried calling Qing Nu, but she didn¡¯t pick up.


    Searching for her at the stop where she got off was like looking for a needle in a haystack, yielding no results.


    At that moment, he resented himself for not getting off the bus with her and accompanying her home.


    It wasn¡¯t until his spiritual power was depleted and he could no longer maintain the Propulsion Technique that Chen Mobai, panting heavily, sat down on a roadside stone, thinking of all the information he had about Qing


    Nu.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s a student at the First High School of the Immortal Sect. She should be at school right now.¡±


    Chen Mobai had taken leave today. He checked the time and found that it was supposed to be the free usage time of the school¡¯s Cultivation Room. If that was the case, Qing Nu¡¯s phone must have been on do-not-disturb mode.


    Once his spiritual power had somewhat recovered, he got on a bus heading towards the First High School of the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°If none of you have any issues, let¡¯s go with this year¡¯s examination paper.¡± At the top of the Spiritual Peak, True Man in Red Robe made the final decision after coordinating everyone¡¯s opinions on site.


    ¡°Yuan He, you take these comments and make the necessary amendments.¡± Yuan He, who was in charge of preparing the questions, immediately stood up and nodded upon hearing the words of the True Man. He then collected the papers that representatives from the four major Daoist Academies and several instructional academies had amended.


    !!..


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    After Yuan He left, the True Man in Red Robe began to discuss the main topic of the day.


    ¡°What special tricks are you planning for the entrance exams for your Daoist academies and instructional academies this year?


    The academic ability reflected by the college entrance examination results was used to filter out those without wisdom roots. Once the college entrance examination scores meet the standard, they could apply to the Four Major Daoist Academies and the Ten Learning Palaces according to the scoreline.


    Only after these fourteen selections were completed, then it would be the turn for places like Red Mist Crimson Bead.


    The Four Major Daoist Academies and Ten Learning Palaces conducted either joint or separate entrance exams every year.


    However, to save public resources, the exams were usually held jointly. During one single assessment, various checkpoints were set up, and scores were assigned according to everyone¡¯s performance. If there was a student the Four Major Daoist Academies found impressive, naturally, they were given priority to choose. If there were two academies interested in the same student, it would then be up to the student to decide.


    However, such situations had never happened in Red Sandstone City. Only the top-ranking major planetary realms would have spiritual seeds that made the Four Major Daoist Academies vie for them.


    ¡°This year, we received instructions from above, so there¡¯s no need for me to rack my brain. Have a look, True Man. This is the response from the dean.¡± Lan Haitian was the first to speak up. He handed a letter to the True Man in Red Robe with a smile, who took it and remarked in surprise after reading it.


    ¡°That¡¯s strange. How did the old fogey come up with this?¡±


    A young man in a white suit furrowed his brow, but he also took out a letter. His teacher had given it to him when he left the Daoist Academy, specifying this year¡¯s entrance exam content.


    ¡°True Man, this is from our department head.


    The True Man in Red Robe took it, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He then looked up at the other representatives of the Daoist Academies.


    The rest hesitated for a moment before all taking out their letters. With a flick, all the letters fell into the hands of the True Man in Red Robe, who already finished reading the contents with his Divine Consciousness Leaving Body, his face betraying his disbelief.


    ¡°This is truly a rare kind of entrance exam.


    After reading all the similar content on the letters, the expression of the True Man in Red Robe finally settled. As a Gold Core True Man, he also noticed some implications from this entrance exam.


    ¡°I see. Let¡¯s arrange it this way. Let¡¯s choose my Cinnabarite Institute as the venue.¡±


    After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, the representatives of several instructional academies first rose to bid their leave, followed by the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    After everyone had left the mountain, a woman¡¯s voice echoed from the wooden house at the top of the Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°Thank you, True Man Yu.¡±


    ¡°I now understand why you¡¯re hiding. Did you know this all along?


    ¡°I guess so. But I really am at a critical stage in my cultivation and can¡¯t move at all, so I can only trouble you.¡±


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll take over the matters regarding the college entrance examination, but as for the Legal Department involved, you should handle it yourself, senior.¡±


    After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, one of the people who had gone down the mountain returned.


    ¡°Legal Department¡¯s Lan Haitian pays his respects to both True Men.¡±


    Lan Haitian, who had met Chen Mobai twice, respectfully greeted the True Man in Red Robe and True Man Shi Qing in the wooden house, his expression serious.


    ¡°I was wondering why the Kunpeng Daoist Academy would let you, a Gold Core cultivator, come to Red Sandstone City to handle the matter of an entrance exam. Speak, is it the order from the Daoist Academy or from the Hall Master?¡± The True Man in Red Robe, as a Gold Core Cultivator, had also heard of Lan Haitian¡¯s infamous reputation. He was renowned as one of the next generation geniuses most likely to form a Core Formation alongside Qiongzhi Fairy from the Nature Studies Academy.


    Because Lan Haitian was also a Legal official of one of the three major temples of the Immortal Sect, his reputation even ranked higher than that of the hardworking Ice Spirit Root talent from the Nature Studies Academy.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Hall Master¡¯s order.¡±


    In front of the two Gold Core True Men, Lan Haitian answered truthfully, without any concealment.


    ¡°What is the matter?¡±


    The True Man in Red Robe asked again.


    -We discovered that there is a cultivator practicing Forbidden Techniques and he needs to be arrested immediately.¡±


    ¡°Well, then I¡¯ll take off.¡±


    Upon hearing the words ¡®Forbidden Techniques,¡¯ the True Man in Red Robe immediately shook his head. Being a person fully devoted to cultivation, he didn¡¯t want to get involved in the affairs of the Legal Department. Adjusting his Escaping Light, he vanished from the top of the Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s the Hall Master¡¯s order, feel free to proceed. I¡¯ll also send a message to the local department for their cooperation.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True Man.¡±


    LHaitian delivered a document into the wooden house, and after True Man Shi Qing had checked the handwriting and the stamps, he agreed to his mission in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Try not to disturb the citizens. Arrest and try him quickly.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Evergreen Pharmacy.


    After Gu Changfeng closed the door, he was refining medicine when the alarm formation set up by Qing Nu at the entrance rang, notifying him of someone¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°Breaking into private residences is a crime.¡±


    Gu Changfeng spoke coldly to the visitor.


    ¡°Rest assured. I have all the necessary documents. It¡¯s not a crime.¡±


    The sound of Lan Haitian¡¯s voice startled Gu Changfeng, his actions frozen. He slowly turned around, seeing the arrest warrant in the latter¡¯s hand, and his demeanor slumped.


    ¡°How did you find me?¡±


    ¡°As they say, if you want to avoid criticism, don¡¯t act. You hid pretty well, but given time, some of those who entered the Purple Cloud Palace back then would inevitably try Forbidden Techniques. As soon as someone exposes a flaw, doesn¡¯t that prove that your testimonies back then were all false?¡± Upon hearing those words, Gu Changfeng couldn¡¯t help but curse angrily, ¡°A group of useless people! We should have never trusted them in the first place.¡± With a bang, a group of about ten Law Enforcement Cultivators in blue-black uniforms stormed in. The lead cultivator, once seeing Lan Haitian, respectfully reported.


    ¡°Mr. Lan, we¡¯ve set up arrays around the vicinity and have also evacuated the surrounding residents.¡±

    ¡°Good, leave the rest to me.¡±


    Lan Haitian nodded. A dark silver chain flicked out from his sleeve and landed in his palm. But to his surprise, Gu Changfeng simply surrendered without a fight.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resisting?¡±


    ¡°I understand law. Practicing Forbidden Techniques at most results in 60 years of imprisonment. If I resist and you kill me, I won¡¯t even be able to claim injustice.¡±


    Gu Changfeng allowed Lan Haitian to cuff him..

    Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Forbidden Technique¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    At the entrance of Immortal Sect First High School.


    Chen Mobai found a bubble tea shop and slowly sipped a drink of fresh lychee juice. He was using his cellphone while watching the entrance of the high


    school.


    Just a while ago, Qing Nu finally texted him back.


    As he had guessed, she had been in the Cultivation Room, her phone on Auxiliary Cultivation mode, and all sounds muted.


    Once her Cultivation Room time was over, she saw his message and promptly replied.


    ¡°Don¡¯t contact me anymore!¡±


    Upon seeing this message, Chen Mobai hesitated, then composed a reply.


    ¡°I¡¯m right at the entrance of your school.¡±


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    !!..


    As soon as Qing Nu received his text, she replied, leaving Chen Mobai confused. He just wanted to apologize for her dismissal from the master¡¯s door. Why did it feel like she was thinking of something unpleasant?


    ¡°What do you want to drink? I¡¯ll order it for you.


    Fairly long after, approximately two to three minutes later, Qing Nu finally


    responded.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    Inside the school.


    Qing Nu packed her bag and was about to leave when a sunny-faced boy in uniform approached her.


    ¡°Let me walk you home.¡±


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m meeting a friend.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and turned to leave.


    The sunny boy didn¡¯t mind; after all, he had been rejected more than once or twice before.


    Leaving the school gate, Qing Nu wore a mask and a small round hat. If Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t familiar with how she looked in a mask, and she hadn¡¯t walked so close, he might not have identified her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about your dismissal from the master¡¯s door.¡±


    As he handed Qing Nu the juice in his hand, Chen Mobai began with a sincere apology. After all, not everyone has the privilege to be a disciple of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Being expelled would leave a permanent stain on Qing Nu¡¯s life record.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk somewhere else.¡±


    After receiving the juice, Qing Nu looked around to confirm that no one recognized her. She signaled Chen Mobai, and they boarded a public bus together.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Because it was dismissal time, the bus was crowded. Chen Mobai and Qing Nu could only stand close to each other. She just shook her head and remained silent, seemingly in low spirits.


    Finally, they reached Qing Nu¡¯s favorite grilled fish restaurant.


    ¡°There are too many people in school that know me. If my classmates see me


    with you, an outsider, they¡¯re sure to gossip.¡±


    It was only now that Qing Nu spoke, saying something that Chen Mobai found rather strange.


    ¡°Are you famous at school?¡±


    ¡°More or less, perhaps one of the most well-known students?¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai looked at Qing Nu¡¯s beautiful face, which was more visible without her hat and mask, and nodded lightly in response. He supposes that due to Qing Nu¡¯s beauty and the fact that she was under the guidance of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her Qi Cultivating Realm might be substantial, and hence her fame.


    ¡°I went to the Evergreen Pharmacy today to find you, and Senior Gu said that because you inappropriately used his medicine pool, you¡¯ve violated a taboo of Alchemists. Because of this, he dismissed you from being his disciple. Is this true?¡±


    At this point, having calmed down from his initial upheaval of emotions, Chen Mobai verified the information he knew with Qing Nu.


    He was thinking it might just be a joke played by Gu Changfeng since their teacher-student bond seemed deep.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true that it is taboo for Alchemists to use other¡¯s medicine furnace and pool. However, there is one exception ¨C between a master and his disciple.¡± ¡°Usually, a master would give his used medicine furnace and pool to the disciple upon the latter¡¯s graduation, signifying that the disciple was qualified. My master had previously said that when I graduated, he would give me the alchemy equipment used in the pharmacy.¡±


    ¡°He knew I was using his medicine pool to blend medicine liquids the day before yesterday. He didn¡¯t say anything then, but today he suddenly exploded with anger and kicked me out¡­¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes turned red, and her lips trembled slightly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it might be because of me.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai could only apologize again.


    ¡°It¡¯S not about you. It¡¯s probably because I haven¡¯t been working hard enough lately. The accumulation of teacher¡¯s dissatisfactions exploded, leading to today¡¯s situation.¡± Qing Nu shook her head, blaming herself. ¡°After finishing the meal, I¡¯ll go back to the pharmacy and apologize to my teacher, hoping that he can forgive me.¡±


    ¡°Well¡­¡±


    After hesitating for a while, Chen Mobai ultimately did not tell her that Gu Changfeng had already removed her disciple status from the Heritage Hall of the Ministry of Education.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Nothing, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    The owner obviously recognized the two, but facing the customers, he could only greet them with a smile.


    After finishing the meal, they took the bus to the stop nearby the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    However, as soon as they alighted, they could feel that something was off.


    ¡°This is a police operation, bystanders are not allowed to enter.¡±


    They found that the street to the entrance of the Evergreen Pharmacy had been blocked off. Law Enforcement Cultivators, dressed in black and blue uniforms, were roaming around. When they approached, a person immediately stopped them.


    ¡°What happened? This is my master¡¯s pharmacy.¡±


    With a worried look on her face, Qing Nu saw the pharmacy cordoned off. She wanted to rush past but managed to restrain herself in the end.


    ¡°Oh, if that is the case, please follow me, I will consult my leader.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu, the Law Enforcement Cultivator nodded and let them through the cordon.


    Chen Mobai followed suit, albeit hesitantly. Given that he was in the vicinity, the Law Enforcement Cultivator assumed he was a disciple of Gu Changfeng as well and didn¡¯t stop him.


    As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Gu Changfeng, handcuffed, being led out.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re not my disciple anymore.¡±


    Upon seeing Qing Nu, who wanted to rush towards him but was stopped, Gu Changfeng glared at her.


    ¡°Are you Gu ChangFeng¡¯s disciples?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this moment, the leading Law Enforcement Cultivator approached them. He was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. Midsentence, a female Law Enforcement Cultivator with a bob cut handed him a document.


    ¡°According to the response from the Heritage Hall of the Education Department, she has indeed been dismissed as a disciple by Gu Changfeng.¡± After reading the document, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows and looked at Qing Nu, who had widened her eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°Take them too. Considering their past master-disciple relationship, she might have been taught the forbidden technique.¡±


    After saying this, he looked at Chen Mobai again, confirmed with his colleagues that he was just a local resident, and his expression instantly softened.


    ¡°Leave me your phone number. We might need your assistance later..¡±

 Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Purple Cloud Palace_1

    Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Purple Cloud Palace_1


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Chen Mobai hesitated briefly, but eventually decided to accompany Qing Nu to the Law Enforcement Department.


    He was just briefly questioned about his relationship with Qing Nu and about what medicine he usually buys from the Evergreen Pharmacy, before being politely invited to the waiting room.


    However, Qing Nu¡¯s interrogation took much longer. Chen Mobai had been waiting for an hour and she still hadn¡¯t come out.


    So, he reflected on the words that the Law Enforcement Cultivator had earlier revealed.


    Forbidden Technique?


    He immediately looked it up online.


    Among the gentians, there are some cultivation techniques that are massively powerful, but the aftereffects of cultivating them are extremely severe. These are called Forbidden Techniques, as they are, quite literally, forbidden to practice.


    The most recent news about this online was about an incident three years ago. A True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had tried to break through his bottleneck by using a Forbidden Technique. This had driven him mad, and his out of control spiritual power had attacked the people around him, causing massive casualties among the ordinary cultivators.


    Just as he was about to read further, Qing Nu was released.


    ¡°Make sure your phone line is open these next few days. You might be contacted at any time to confirm the facts.¡±


    !!..


    As Qing Nu was leaving, the short-haired female Law Enforcement Cultivator who was in charge of her case reminded her one last time.


    ¡°What exactly happened? Did your Master practice a forbidden technique?¡±


    As Chen Mobai left the police department with Qing Nu, he couldn¡¯t suppress his curiosity and asked.


    ¡°I also do not know, Master only taught me knowledge about alchemy, and never mentioned a word about cultivation.¡±


    As Qing Nu said this, her eyes were red, seemingly heavily impacted emotionally. After all, the news that her long-time teacher was a criminal was too heavy for anyone to take.


    ¡°I¡¯ll escort you home. Try not to overthink it, and get a good rest.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could do was to comfort her in this way.


    Inside an office on the third floor of the police department, Lan Haitian was looking out the window at Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leaving. He put down the files of both Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, and turned his head to ask Gu Changfeng, who was sitting down under pressure, ¡°You should know the dreadful nature of the Devour God Technique. Everyone among you who has cultivated this Forbidden Technique hasn¡¯t met a good end.¡±


    ¡°The decision to conceal the Devour God Technique wasn¡¯t mine. I was just dragged into it.¡±


    Gu Changfeng spoke out.


    ¡°I am not asking you about this. I just think that both these young people are good, and I hope they have no connection with the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Qing Nu doesn¡¯t know anything about it. Plus, I¡¯ve already expelled her from my tutelage.¡±


    Lan Haitian shook his head and handed Chen Mobai¡¯s file to the Law Enforcement Cultivator next to him. Then he scanned Qing Nu¡¯s file with his own phone and sent it to a friend for further investigation.


    ¡°That¡¯s not for you to decide. After all, she was once your disciple, so we still need to supervise her for a period of time.¡±


    ¡°You are an enforcer of the law; you should stick to the evidence. Qing Nu has not committed any crime.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I stick to the evidence that she has been released now. If she were still your disciple, I would have justifiedly arrested both of you.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Gu Changfeng huffed in anger but didn¡¯t argue any further.


    ¡°Elder Brother Gu, why didn¡¯t you choose to flee?¡±


    ¡°You gave your business card to Qing Nu, who forwarded it to me. You wanted to force me to flee, so you would have an excuse to interrogate me with your methods.¡±


    Gu Changfeng looked coldly at Lan Haitian and revealed his thoughts. But the latter only responded with a slight smile.


    ¡°With your talent, Elder Brother, you would not have reached your current realm if you had been practicing normally. It seems like Forbidden Techniques really do affect the mind.¡±


    But at this moment, Gu Changfeng closed his eyes and said no more.


    Lan Haitian queried him for a while, but seeing that he would not speak again, gave up on further questioning.


    As he left the interrogation room, he removed a ¡°Mind-reading Talisman¡± pasted on the door to ascertain which parts of Gu Changfeng¡¯s words were true and which were false.


    ¡°Mr. Lan, what should we do next?¡±


    Inside the office of the police department, after compiling both Gu Changfeng and Qing Nu¡¯s data, the office worker handed it to Lan Haitian, then waited for his next instruction.


    ¡°Just keep him locked up for now. When 1 leave later, I¡¯ll take him away.¡±


    ¡°Alright, what about his female disciple and that student? Do we need to send people to watch them?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for people.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai escorted Qing Nu back home, where she asked him to stay for a while.


    This was a single apartment in Red Sandstone City. After asking, Chen Mobai learned that Qing Nu had been orphaned from a young age and had grown up in an orphanage.


    When she was fifteen, due to her outstanding abilities, Gu Changfeng had taken her as his disciple when he came to give a lecture at school. She then started working at the Evergreen Pharmacy, and with the help of her master, she had rented this apartment and begun to live alone.


    Chen Mobai checked and found that because the house was public rental housing, the facilities were quite basic, with only the minimum supply of Rank-1 lower-grade spiritual energy.


    ¡°To me, Master is like a father. But they say my Master practiced Forbidden Techniques and is a bad person.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, her eyes turned red again. Perhaps due to the hardships she had experienced from a young age, she was resilient enough to control her emotions, no longer as agitated as at first.


    Chen Mobai comforted her some more, and seeing that it was getting late, he made his leave.


    Qing Nu got up and sent him out, then she squatted down alone in the empty room, back against the door. After hearing the sound of footsteps outside grow distant, she hugged her knees and buried her head, then started weeping softly.


    ¡°Master, this is the report on Gu Changfeng¡¯s case.¡±


    At the top of the Spiritual Peak, in front of the wooden cabin, Lan Haitian respectfully lifted the report he had prepared above his head.


    A formidable Divine Sense swept out from within the cabin and instantly read through all the contents of the report.


    ¡°The five people who obtained Forbidden Techniques from the Purple Cloud Palace all those years ago have all been captured, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Gu Changfeng is the last one. However, I suspect that there are some unseen factors in this matter. Because of the limitations in the means available, I couldn¡¯t extract any useful information.¡±


    After years of investigating cases, Lan Haitian developed an intuition that if a case was completely resolved, he would feel exhilarated and his thoughts would be unimpeded. If not, his mind would be clouded.


    ¡°Well, just leave it like this. After all, you have them in your hands. Even if there are hidden facts, you can press them for answers slowly.¡±

    The voice from inside the cabin, Master Shi Qing¡¯s, was calm. It seemed like he didn¡¯t pay much attention to the result of Lan Haitian¡¯s investigation.


    ¡°May I ask, Master, how should we deal with Gu Changfeng¡¯s disciple?¡±


    ¡°Hmm? On this kind of matter, do you still need to ask me?¡±


    Upon hearing Master Shi Qing¡¯s slightly displeased voice, Lan Haitian could only smile bitterly. He took out his phone and forwarded some confidential information from the Daoist Academy he had obtained through illegal means to the Master inside the cabin. ¡°This is Qing Nu¡¯s file. Please review it, Master.¡± ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t expect it to be her.¡±


    After Master Shi Qing finished reading, he expressed surprise..

 Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Devour God Technique_l

    Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Devour God Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339 I


    ¡°Exactly, that¡¯s why we need your help in adjusting the matter.¡±


    After Lan Haitian finished speaking, the top of the Spiritual Peak fell into silence.


    After a while, Shi Qing¡¯s voice responded.


    ¡°The students designated for the Jumang Daoist Academy, I can¡¯t intervene. Shang Qing should know about this matter, you go and discuss it with her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve discussed it with her, but her attitude is very firm. I¡¯m afraid we need you to personally speak to her.¡±


    ¡°Understood, summon her in my name.¡±


    After getting approval from Master Shi Qing, Lan Haitian immediately made a phone call to the representative of the Jumang Daoist Academy who was visiting Red Sandstone City.


    The call was directly hung up. He awkwardly sent a text message.


    In a short while, an ordinary-looking woman with a rustic appearance arrived. She initially gave Lan Haitian a disgusted glance, then respectfully saluted Master Shi Qing inside the hut.


    ¡°Shang Qing pays her respects to the Master.¡±


    !!..


    ¡°Qing Nu is possibly related to the Forbidden Technique of the Purple Cloud Palace and may have been implanted with a God Seed. Lan Haitian wants to bring her into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute for personal protection. What do you think?¡±


    At Shi Qing¡¯s level of cultivation and status, there was no need to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point.


    ¡°It¡¯s only a possibility after all. If there was definite evidence, I would have no objections. Moreover, even if she was really implanted with a God Seed, wouldn¡¯t it be better to send her to the Imperial Medical Academy?¡±


    Shang Qing did not directly object but tactfully expressed her refusal.


    ¡°Well, I understand. Let it be then.¡±


    Shi Qing didn¡¯t exert his authority either. After all, what Shang Qing said made sense as things were just a possibility.


    Left with no other option, Lan Haitian could only sigh regretfully. He felt that Gu Changfeng had stepped onto a promising path and had secured a good future for his disciple in advance.


    However, this leads didn¡¯t necessarily have to stop here.


    With such thoughts, Lan Haitian and Shang Qing took their leave from the Spiritual Peak.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai was planning to search online for more information about the Forbidden Technique when he received a call from an unknown number.


    ¡°Hello, this is Lan Haitian.¡±


    ¡°How did you get my number?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised. He barely knew this man.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave your number at the police station? I asked them for it.¡±


    ¡°Are you a Law Enforcement Cultivator?¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled, thinking that his secret was discovered. However, he soon composed himself, realizing that it must be about Gu Changfeng.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I might need your help with. I¡¯m at the Evergreen Pharmacy waiting for you. You can come in through the back door. I have already opened it.¡±


    After saying that, Lan Haitian hung up. Chen Mobai was taken aback but soon realized that he didn¡¯t have any options given Lan Haitian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possibly a cultivator from the Law Enforcement Division.


    Eventually, he took a deep breath, changed into a black sweatshirt, and told his mom that he was going to take a walk.


    Evergreen Pharmacy.


    Chen Mobai made his way to the back door according to the instructions. The seal tape had been removed, and the door was slightly ajar.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice sounded from inside. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the door and entered.


    The familiar yard, the medicine vats placed around, but all the medicinal liquid inside them had been drained out, leaving them empty.


    Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of the vat in the center, swinging his legs and looking up at the gradually darkening sky.


    ¡°What matter does the senior want to discuss with me?¡±


    ¡°If Gu Changfeng has cultivated a Forbidden Technique, your little girlfriend might be the intended furnace. Do you want to save her?¡±


    As expected, it wasn¡¯t about the secret of the turtle shell he had been called for. As his suspicions were confirmed, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn¡¯t want Lan Haitian to know that he was relieved. Luckily he had been wearing a hat ever since he entered. The light was dim, and half of his face was hidden by the hoodie.


    ¡°She and I are just ordinary friends. Still, I would definitely want to save her if I could.¡±


    He proceeded according to what Lan Haitian had said.


    ¡°Almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators can¡¯t resist the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. Although Gu Changfeng has not demonstrated it yet, when I tested his Divine Consciousness Intensity at the police station, I found that it far exceeded his actual realm. It can be confirmed that he has cultivated the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°And a thing like a Forbidden Technique, once one starts cultivating it, it¡¯s very hard to stop. In the end, they will inevitably tread the evil path of preparing a furnace and implanting a God Seed.¡±


    ¡°The final fate of the Furnace is pretty much worse than death.¡±


    Having said that, Lan Haitian, who was sitting on the edge of the medicine vat, lowered his head. Chen Mobai, who was standing at the door, looked at him, suppressing various emotions in his heart and pretending to be reluctant.


    ¡°If you were a Law Enforcement Cultivator, I would definitely cooperate. But you¡¯re too suspicious, and I don¡¯t trust you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a Law Enforcement Cultivator.¡± Lan Haitian replied. He jumped off the medicine vat and walked towards Chen Mobai. Just when Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was pounding and thought he was about to be threatened, Lan Haitian suddenly spoke again, ¡°I¡¯m from the Regular Law Hall.¡±


    The three Great Halls of the Daoist Academy!


    The Xianwu Hall, Regular Law Hall, and Kaiyuan Hall!


    Among them, the Regular Law Hall holds all the military power of the Daoist Academy. When necessary, even the Law Enforcement Department falls under their jurisdiction.


    ¡°This¡­ do you have a way to prove it?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still pretending to be doubtful. Lan Haitian actually unlocked his phone and showed him his credentials.


    ¡°This is my Jurist number in the Regular Law Hall. If you say that I got it made in a fake ID shop, then I really can¡¯t prove it.¡±


    After glancing at it, Chen Mobai pretended to reluctantly concede and nodded.


    ¡°Alright, tell me what I should do.¡±


    ¡°You can keep an eye on your friend¡¯s mental state. If she suddenly becomes absent-minded or loses her sanity one day, you can inform me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I observed that Master Qing Nu expelled her from the teacher¡¯s door in advance. She seemed to want to protect her; she doesn¡¯t seem like a bad person.¡±


    ¡°You simply don¡¯t know the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. It can turn a sheep into a wolf.¡±


    Chen Mobai swallowed, and at this moment, Lan Haitian had passed him and was heading towards the back door.


    ¡°How should I contact you?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I call you already? That¡¯s my number, make sure you save it.¡± Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came from behind. Chen Mobai turned around but he had already disappeared. The final words being, ¡°When you leave, remember to put the seal tape back..¡±

 Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Return to Fang Market 1

    Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Return to Fang Market 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Once back home, Chen Mobai pondered over the whole situation.


    He then searched for ¡°Devour God Technique¡± online, but indeed, he found no useful information, as if it was controlled by immortal sects.


    He looked up Gu Changfeng only to find out from the police department¡¯s announcement that he was suspected of tax evasion and was under administrative detention for investigation.


    This seemed to be the universal excuse used by the celestial police department whenever they arrested someone.


    Unconvinced, Chen Mobai visited the Water Mansion again and entered ¡°Devour God Technique¡± in the Auxiliary Cultivation application. As expected, thanks to his Rank-5 user privileges, he saw an intriguing post.


    The poster was anonymous.


    The title was: ¡°On the Possibility of Refining the Forbidden Technique, Devour God.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced through the post. The writer had not maintained a high standard in her writing. It seemed like the readers were assumed to know the Devour God Technique as the author directly put her conjectures and solutions to refine it.


    The post mentioned that the most challenging part after cultivating the Devour God Technique was controlling the suddenly surging Divine Sense, which, if exceeded the limit of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, would lead to mental confusion and even the possibility of exploding and dying.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then opened the National Library software again and entered the keyword: Devour God.


    !!..


    Surprisingly, a Cultivation Technique did appear.


    ¡°Devour God Technique: Fragment¡± stated: ¡°A secret technique from the ancient evil path. The practitioner transforms his own Divine Sense into a ¡®God Seed¡¯ and injects it into the Qi Sea of a cultivator. When the cultivator matures, the God Seed follows the Qi, refining itself and returning to the practitioner¡¯s Sea of Knowledge, thus eventually attaining Dao.¡±


    After reading up to this point, Chen Mobai found it very intriguing and wanted to read more. However, a prompt popped up saying: Insufficient authority, insufficient points, cannot redeem.


    Even though his pseudonym, Turtle Hermit, became a Rank-3 user of the National Library after the agent¡¯s intervention ¨C equivalent to a Gold Core cultivator, he even had insufficient privileges?


    Looking at a footnote in small fonts at the bottom of ¡°Devour God Technique¡±, as Chen Mobai suspected, it was written that a Rank-4 user could use points to view the complete article.


    This Foreign Technique indeed had a high threshold.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to give up.


    However, it wasn¡¯t a complete loss. He now knew that if he wanted to cultivate the ¡°Devour God Technique¡±, a cultivator would indeed need a Pill Furnace to plant a God Seed. If Gu Changfeng had cultivated this forbidden technique, then Qing Nu would indeed be the only choice for a Pill Furnace.


    In that case, Lan Haitian had indeed given him a kind reminder.


    Thinking of the worst possible scenario, Chen Mobai frowned slightly, feeling that he needed to find a way to verify whether Qing Nu¡¯s Sea of Knowledge had been implanted with the so-called ¡°God Seed¡±.


    But even if he did verify it, he would not know what to do.


    Gu Changfeng was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he had truly made some moves on Qing Nu, what could he, a junior cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, do?


    A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. This was the first time he had felt a desperate need for power.


    If in the past he cultivated merely to fulfil his parents¡¯ expectations, and his own satisfaction derived from breaking through, now Chen Mobai had one more reason: to escape from his feelings of powerlessness in the face of Lan Haitian.


    He sat straight on a cushion in the Water Mansion, took out a tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that Qing Nu had prepared, stared at it for a while, and with a firm look in his eyes, uncorked the bottle and drank it all at once.


    For seven consecutive days, Chen Mobai attended school, caught up with his previous coursework using his newly cultivated Divine Sense, cultivated his mind in the school¡¯s cultivation room, chatted and confided with Qing Nu after school, and cultivated in the Water Mansion after returning home. In between, he read the books he had bought from Southstream Market.


    His knowledge, Cultivation Level, and even Divine Sense were all steadily improving.


    The Water Mansion¡­


    After Chen Mobai completed his cultivation for the day, sensing the increasingly round and three-dimensional vortex of spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea, he nodded slightly in satisfaction.


    However, when he checked the unopened Qi-replenishing Spirit Water in his bag, he found that only one bottle was left, which made him frown in distress.


    During this period, Qing Nu had come out of her depression thanks to his companionship and comfort, and she had become even more hardworking than before.


    She believed that her master was wronged, and that he expelled her from the sect to protect her.


    So, she wanted to become stronger, in order to clear the false charges against her imprisoned master.


    She took the initiative to offer help to Chen Mobai in alchemy, to earn tuition fees.


    According to her ideas, she sought to enter the Great Dao Academy, improve herself, and make it easier to clear her master¡¯s name. Chen Mobai naturally encouraged Qing Nu¡¯s ideas, but also tactfully mentioned that failing to get into the four major Daoist academies was not a big deal, as the top ten colleges were also good.


    To this, Qing Nu simply smiled.


    Then they both returned to the topic of producing Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Before Gu Changfeng went in, he annulled Qing Nu¡¯s master-apprentice status at the Education Department¡¯s Inheritance Hall, so she could not inherit the things from the Evergreen Pharmacy. Things like medicine pots were fine because they were not expensive. Buying a small cold brewing machine, with a slower efficiency in producing Rank-1 elixirs, was just adequate.


    But only the medicine pond and Pill Furnace were indispensable, and pricey key tools.


    Usually, alchemists would find a spiritual spring for the Medicine Pond, then spend a long time nurturing it with the Water Method Alchemy, to slowly raise its grade.


    The medicine pond of the Evergreen Pharmacy was fed by the Spiritual Spring from the Immortal Gate Water Bureau, and the cost of the Spiritual Spring alone required tens of thousands of Good Deed Points a year.


    There was even less need to mention the Pill Furnace, many alchemists would find an Artifact Refiner to custom-make one according to their own habits.


    Qing Nu had an intermediate grade Rank-1 Pill Furnace, which was a gift from Gu Changfeng when she refined her first kind of elixir. It was just enough to produce Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    The problem now was to find a medicine pond.


    Qing Nu had been exploring various pharmacies in Red Sandstone City after school these days, hoping to rent a spare one that hadn¡¯t been used for a long time.


    Chen Mobai had become accustomed to the rapid progress of cultivation after taking Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. If this type of spiritual medicine were to run out, and he had to revert back to the slow pace of refining Spirit Qi he was used to, the contrast would be too great, and he would not be able to accept it.


    As he was preparing to return to the city, Chen Mobai noticed a thick pile of spirit talismans in his bag.


    These were the talismans he had initially prepared to get rich in the Southstream Market. Sadly, reality was cruel, and he was a bit thin-skinned. After not making any business for a few days, he felt disheartened. And with Gu Changfeng¡¯s incident, he had too many other things on his hands, so he didn¡¯t bother to go anymore.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while, let¡¯s go check it out tomorrow.¡±


    With the idea of gaining experience, the next day Chen Mobai once again dressed in traditional clothes with a cloth bag hanging from his waist, heading to the Southstream Market which he hadn¡¯t visited for almost half a month.


    He didn¡¯t see Qi Er at the entrance. Maybe he had business today.

    Thinking so, Chen Mobai first strolled around the market place, found no change from before, and then walked to his own stall.


    The three people who used to have stalls nearby were now missing one. Only a bearded youth and a woman in a yellow dress remained. The other one might have made enough money and rented a cave dwelling for cultivation.


    Chen Mobai greeted the two stall neighbours without noticing their weird expressions, laid out his blanket elegantly, then proficiently laid out the spirit talismans one by one.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, how much are you selling this Green Arrow Talisman for?¡±


    The woman in the yellow dress came over and asked after he finished setting up..

 Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Divine Wood Sect_l

    Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Divine Wood Sect_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°One thousand taels of gold.¡±


    Chen Mobai has done a survey in the Fang Market, the average price of a Rank-1 Lower-grade talisman is loo taels of gold, the average price of a Rank-1 Intermediate-grade talisman is 1,000 taels of gold, and the average price of a Rank-1 High-grade talisman is one Spirit Stone.


    So he instinctively shouted an average price.


    After saying this, he realized why he hadn¡¯t had any business before, this price didn¡¯t set out, let others come to ask, business naturally will not be good.


    ¡°How many do you have, I¡¯ll buy them all.


    The woman in the yellow shirt brightened her eyes after hearing this, pointing to the ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± that Chen Mobai had laid out on the stall.


    Chen Mobai had six left, but her words made him suspect, dare not sell all of


    them.


    ¡°Only two left.¡±


    ¡°Here, this is the gold ticket.¡±


    !!..


    The woman in the yellow shirt took out two large tickets from her sachet. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but since he had already spoken and set up his stall here, he naturally could not break his word.


    He took another one from his bag which was hidden along with the one on the carpet and gave them both to her.


    ¡ö¡¯My name is Zhuo Ming, I¡¯m a Talisman Maker, we can exchange more in the future.¡±


    After saying this, the woman in the yellow shirt took two Green Arrow Talismans, then packed up her stall, carrying her belongings, and left.


    Chen Mobai was in a fog.


    At this time, another thin man with a long beard also came up, he squatted on Chen Mobai¡¯s stall and picked over the remaining Rank-1 Lower-grade Spirit


    Talismans.


    ¡°Those Green Arrow Talismans of yours, she could sell it for two to three


    thousand taels per piece.¡±


    The long-bearded youth suddenly said something, Chen Mobai touched his chin, completely unaware of what had happened.


    ¡°A few days ago, that guy Qi Er followed a team of Loose cultivators to hunt a snow rhino in Yun Meng Ze, he used a Rank-1 Intermediate-grade talisman, which broke the legs of this magical beast and made a great contribution.¡±


    After he finished, Chen Mobai finally understood what was going on.


    It turns out it was because of the Green Arrow Talisman that he gave to Qi Er. So when she saw him finally coming to set up a stall, Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t bear to make the first move and picked up a loss.


    ¡°How many do you have left, pack them all for me.


    The long-bearded youth kindly explained it to Chen Mobai first, then smilingly pointed to the five Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans on the carpet.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. Originally according to his pricing, it should be 100 taels per piece, but now it seems that his talismans have made a name for themselves through Qi Er, should he raise the price?


    ¡°May I ask for your name, fellow Daoist?¡±


    ¡°Lu Shu.¡±


    The long-bearded youth waved his hand and reported his name.


    ¡°To be honest, I have no idea what price should I set for my talismans in the Fang Market. Could you please give me some advice? These five are for consultation fees.¡±


    Lu Shu obviously did not expect Chen Mobai to have this idea, he was stunned for a moment and then exclaimed in admiration.


    ¡°Where do you come from as a Loose cultivator, looking at your cultivation level is not bad, as a Rank-6 Qi Cultivator, you should be well versed in all these.¡±


    ¡®?When I was young, I accidentally saw a Cultivation Technique carved on the rock wall in a cave, and I accidentally cultivated to the present. I just found this Southstream Market recently. Regrettably, I didn¡¯t even know about the existence of Spirit Stones before.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words prompted Lu Shu to nod slightly, then he was not polite, picked up the five Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans on the carpet, asked one by one about their effects and power, and started to set the price.


    ¡°This one is a Coiling Talisman¡­¡±


    The two were asking questions and answering them, and it took nearly half an hour.


    ¡ö¡¯I made a profit after all. if these five talismans were sold on the island of Yun Meng Ze, at least it would be a thousand taels of gold. I¡¯ll give you this book, consider it as my return gift.¡±


    Lu Shu took out a book from his carpet and threw it to Chen Mobai. It was called ¡°Insights into Talisman Making by Divine Wood Sect¡¯.


    ¡°Judging by the style of your talismans, you should have a Wood Spirit Root. This Divine Wood Sect is a premier Talisman Making sect in the Eastern Wilderness. They recruit a group of disciples every ten years. As you have reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age, if you familiarize yourself with these Insights into Talisman Making in advance, you might be able to become a disciple of Divine Wood Sect, and acquire the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai thought this book would be of no use to him. Even if he wanted to learn Talisman Making, he would focus on the skills of the Earth Element Star. But after hearing Lu Shu¡¯s words, he was astonished and couldn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°Foundation Building Pill? Does Divine Wood Sect give Foundation Building


    Pills to their disciples?¡±


    ¡°Of course, otherwise how could they be a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness? It¡¯s not just because they have a Gold Core elder in the sect who can allow the Rank-3 Alchemy Master from the Back to Sky Valley to share the Foundation Building Pills they make with them, right!


    Lu Shu misunderstood Chen Mobai¡¯s meaning. His point was, isn¡¯t the main medicine of this Foundation Building Pill better for refining Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicines? Why would they waste it by refining Foundation Building Pills?


    But soon, Chen Mobai came around, isn¡¯t this even better!


    This Tianhe Realm is not the Earth Element Star, perhaps this place is rich in resources and spiritual medicines, maybe they just want to waste it!


    He immediately picked up the book ¡°Insights into Talisman Making by Divine Wood Sect¡± and asked Lu Shu when they would recruit disciples next time.


    ¡°If it¡¯s ten years a period, it should be next year.


    Lu Shu is not sure, after all, he plans to learn the Puppetry Technique at Liu Jia Mountain. The reason why he sells talismans is just for livelihood.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and thanked Lu Shu. The latter was a bit puzzled about why he was so formal, but he just nodded, accepting the gratitude.


    After earning five talismans with a second-hand book, Lu Shu packed up his stall, saying that he would go to Yun Meng Ze to try his luck, and see if he could hunt some magical beasts.


    Compared to setting up a stall in the Fang Market, hunting magical beasts is the legitimate way for Tianhe Realm Cultivators to earn resources.


    A Rank-1 Lower-grade spirit beast, selling it to Sky Meal Building, as long as the meat is preserved perfectly, at least it¡¯s worth a Spirit Stone.

    It¡¯s because of this, with a Green Arrow Talisman, Qi Er followed the team to hunt a snow rhino, got 2 Spirit Stones as the share, it can be said to be a windfall, a huge profit.


    After Zhuo Ming and Lu Shu left, Chen Mobai set up his stall for a while. Not long later, Fang market Cultivators who heard the news rushed over and bought all of his nearly hundred Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans. After getting the tips from Lu Shu, Chen Mobai raised the price of each talisman to 200 taels of gold.


    After selling out, together with the gold tickets given by Zhuo Ming, he went to the Five Elements Sect¡¯s silver shop, converted it into two Spirit Stones.


    With full harvest, he left the Fang Market and returned to Water Mansion. He took out the ¡°introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± he had purchased earlier, and carefully read the chapter about Divine Wood Sect. Divine Wood Sect, the Wood branch of the Five Elements Sect, branched out from the Five Elements Sect fifty years ago when the Hun Yuan Elder passed away. The sect is based in Giant Tree Ridge, with a Rank-4 High-grade Spirit Vein. The exclusive Cultivation Technique is ¡°Everlasting Longevity Scripture . After cultivation, every breakthrough in a major realm can extend one¡¯s life by one Jiazi.


    This Cultivation Technique is good for longevity..

 Chapter 60 - Chapter 6o: Chapter 60 Ren Water Thunder Method 1

    Chapter 6o: Chapter 60 Ren Water Thunder Method 1


    Translator: 549690339          ¡ª


    The Eastern Wilderness has nineteen nations.


    In total, there are seven major sects of Immortal Cultivation, namely Back to Sky Valley, Five Elements Sect, Golden Cliff, Divine Wood Sect, Liu Jia Mountain, Mountain Shaker Peak, and Snow-Blowing Palace.


    Among them, the Five Elements Sect was once the overlord of the whole Eastern Wilderness. However, after the only Nascent Soul elder ¡®sat into dissolution¡¯ fifty years ago, a split occurred in the lineage of the five veins. As a result, Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect broke away.


    But even a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, the Five Elements Sect remains the strongest force in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, these seven major sects monopolize the supply of Foundation Building Pills. To get these pills, all the remaining Loose Cultivators, Cultivation families, or even heirs of minor schools have to ask the seven major sects.


    Most Loose Cultivators tend to join these sects directly, becoming disciples. Once their contributions within the sect are sufficient, they can exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    On the other hand, heirs of Cultivation families and minor sects can exchange precious resources like Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicine for the pills.


    Every once in a while, the seven major sects release a batch of Foundation Building Pills for the lower Cultivation powers.


    In addition to this, there are also markets set up by major foreign commercial associations. From time to time, these markets leak some Foundation Building Pills into the market with the intention of opening up the market in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Yun Country where Southstream Market is located was once a subsidiary power of the Five Elements Sect. After the Divine Wood Sect split off, it became a border area between the two sects. After several clashes, the two sects each raised two Cultivation families. While controlling secular forces, they also slowly harvested the Cultivation resources of Yun Country.


    !!..


    In this process, the two major sects come to Yun Country every ten years to enroll into their ranks any Cultivation seedlings who possess spiritual roots, ensuring their absolute position.


    The Five Elements Sect was originally the supreme emperor of Yun Country, thus it has deep roots among the common folk. Therefore, whenever a child¡¯ with Spiritual Roots is found, their parents generally send them to the Five Elements Sect instead of the Divine Wood Sect.


    In contrast, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s leader cleverly realized they couldn¡¯t compete with the Five Elements Sect in secular competition. Therefore, they shifted their attention to Loose Cultivators. Not only do the recruited disciples have some foundation which saves a part of the spirit stones during training, but it also saves time otherwise wasted in searching among the common people.


    The only disadvantage is that the characters of Loose Cultivators are inconsistent, unlike the disciples of the Five Elements Sect who are brought in and trained from childhood, making them more reliable.


    Of course, this doesn¡¯t mean the Five Elements Sect doesn¡¯t recruit Loose Cultivators. They do, albeit strictly. Furthermore, it is rumored that joining as a Loose Cultivator involves a heart-questioning and soul-examining process to ensure that those who join do not have ulterior motives.


    After reading the introduction to the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai then read the one for the Five Element Sect. Comparing the notes in the Water Mansion, he vaguely realized why Liu Yanpei had disappeared fifty years ago and never¡¯ returned.


    Fifty years ago, the only Nascent Soul senior in the Eastern Wilderness, the elder Hun Yuan of the Five Elements sect ¡®sat into dissolution¡¯, after which two major factions of the gold and wood veins split. Undoubtedly, it must have been a chaotic time filled with bloody strife.


    It is likely that Liu Yanpei was called back to the Five Elements Sect due to the disorder and possibly fell victim to an internal struggle.


    For the next twenty years, the Five Elements Sect intensely battled with the split-off Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect. During the war, this Rank-2 Spirit Vein Water Mansion with no value was naturally forgotten.


    If explained in this way, things basically make sense.¡±


    Sitting in the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai consolidated the information he had read over the past few days from the ¡®Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯, ¡®Distribution Map of Cultivation Powers in Yun Country¡¯, ¡®Biography of Donghuang Cultivators¡¯ and so forth, by forming a timeline in his mind. Through this, he was able to analyze the reason why this Water Mansion was now vacant.


    ¡°But over the past twenty years, the Five Element Sect acknowledges the split of Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect, forming the current power structure of the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness. The Water Mansion must be recorded in the internal documents of the Five Element Sect. Would they come to reclaim it?¡±


    Chen Mobai realized a loophole: the reason why Liu Yanpei had been here to farm fish and grow bamboo was mainly to meet the dietary preferences of a Gold Core elder in the upper echelons.


    The Five Elements Sect might overlook this small Rank-2 Spiritual Land, but what if this Gold Core elder suddenly got the munchies and remembered it?


    Chen Mobai now hopes that this Gold Core elder either died in the internal strife of the Five Elements Sect fifty years ago, or was seriously injured and needed recuperation, thus forgetting about this fish-growing, bamboo-growing Water Mansion.


    However, with this thought in his mind, Chen Mobai started to feel uneasy in what he had initially considered a safe Water Mansion.


    ¡°After all, this is the Spirit Vein of the Five Elements Sect. If they see me, an outsider, occupying it, they definitely won¡¯t be pleased. Maybe, I should try to join the Five Elements Sect!¡±


    Chen Mobai had already developed some affection for the secret base in the Water Mansion and was somewhat reluctant to leave.


    However, joining the Five Elements Sect is not easy, being subject to the heart-questioning process could reveal the existence of the Ground Origin Star and might even lead to a war between the two worlds.


    When he thought of the significant casualty numbers in the wars of previous eras recorded in the Immortal Sect¡¯s history books, Chen Mobai felt it best to be careful. For the sake of avoiding a war which could cause widespread death and destruction, resulting in rivers of blood, he decided to join the Divine Wood Sect which is known for lenient recruitment of Loose Cultivators.


    ¡°However, before leaving, I should try to open these two auxiliary temples to see what¡¯s inside.¡±


    Having clarified his short-term goal in the Tianhe Realm ¨C to join the Divine Wood Sect, and his long-term goal ¨C to obtain the Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai rose to his feet, turning to look at the two auxiliary temples sealed by thunder prohibitions.


    The power of these two prohibitions has reached Rank-i top-grade, representing the strongest measures of Liu Yanpei who was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    This method is called ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method.¡±


    This is also the supplementary technique of Blackwater Cultivation, which Chen Mobai found out from the cultivation notes left by Liu Yanpei in the study hall.


    The old man who died in the Water Mansion might really be a disciple of Liu Yanpei, because his complete Blackwater Cultivation matched the descriptions in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes for the most part, except for this powerful ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method,¡± which requires reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and had not been passed down.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The notes Liu Yanpei left behind about his practice of the Blackwater Cultivation also mentioned that he once saved a young man from drowning nearby and seeing he had spiritual roots, took him in as his nominal disciple to alleviate his tiresome duties of raising fish and growing bamboo.


    This ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± is a prohibition formed by drawing spiritual energy from the Water Vein. It¡¯s not connected to the large formation so one only needs a persistent attack with Spirit Talismans to wear down the power of the prohibition until it disappears.


    Originally, Chen Mobai thought that since everything in the Water Mansion would eventually belong to him, he didn¡¯t have to hurry. He planned to cultivate a powerful technique when he reached the late stages of Qi Cultivation and then slowly break the prohibition.


    However, it now seems that he may have to spend some money to buy some powerful Spirit Talismans or Magic Artifacts.


    Chen Mobai knew that in these auxiliary halls, one must definitely be growing Jade Bamboo. But he didn¡¯t know whether it had died or grown more luxuriant after being unattended for fifty years..

 Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Siqi Pavilion__l

    Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Siqi Pavilion__l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai seemed to be very lucky recently.


    In Southstream Market, his talismans have opened up the market, and after returning to Di Yuan Star, Qing Nu also brought good news.


    Treasure Bottle Pharmacy has an unused alchemy room, fully equipped with a medicine pool and other equipment, which can be used to start producing Qi-replenishing Spirit Water again.


    This indeed made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    In recent days, without this Spirit Water, his cultivation speed has significantly slowed down, making him, who had been accustomed to high efficiency, feel at


    a loss.


    However, after Qing Nu began preparing the second batch of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai had another problem.


    That was, where would the Good Deed Points for purchasing the main medicine and auxiliary medicine come from next time?


    Although he now has 24 Spirit Stones on him, he is already a little afraid to go to the bank and exchange Spirit Stones for Good Deed Points.


    The intermediate-Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water requires about five days to refine after completion.


    !!..


    The alchemy room rented from Treasure Bottle Pharmacy is for a month, and Qing Nu¡¯s idea is to make the most out of it by buying more medicine materials so that within this month, enough Qi ¨C replenishing Spirit Water can be prepared to support Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation until he reaches the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.


    According to Qing Nu¡¯s efficiency, at least three batches of medicine materials


    are needed.


    After much thinking, Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t come up with a good solution. He could only take out one Spirit Stone, for which he got gold in exchange at the Silver Shop of the Five Elements Sect in Southstream Market, and went to find


    Wu Wan.


    ¡°The quality of the gold is the same, but I can only purchase the same amount as last time, that is, 40 pieces, priced at 4300 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After Wu Wan measured the weight and purity, he hesitated for a moment when looking at the hundred gold bars in front of him. Still, he decided to be a good person and only took 40 ¡ãf them.


    ¡°Oh, what do you mean by this, Master Wu?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused and asked.


    ¡°As you know, gold is controlled by the Immortal Gate, and all of us goldsmiths have registered at the Immortal Trade Bureau. Before getting our business licenses, we were told that if the same person trades gold cumulatively more than 10,000 Good Deed Points with us, we need to report to the market supervision department and law enforcement police department.¡±


    Chen Mobai broke into a cold sweat after Wu Wan finished speaking.


    ¡°Thankyou, Master Wu.¡±


    He gave Wu Wan a solemn thank you, who responded by lightly shaking his hand, putting the 40 gold bars in his safe with gloved hands, and then transferring 4300 Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai through his phone.


    ¡°You¡¯ve traded gold twice with me, and you¡¯re only 4850 points away from the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit. If you¡¯re really short of Good Deed Points, I can take 5 more, which will just fall within the 10,000 limit.¡±


    ¡°However, if the Immortal Trade Bureau randomly checks my little shop¡¯s accounts at the end of the year, your transaction just hitting the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit will be a bit conspicuous and might be targeted.¡±


    ¡°So my suggestion is to just trade 40 more this time. In case we are selected for inspection, I have several customers like you, and with some adjustment in the account books and tax forms, the Immortal Gate will most likely turn a blind


    eye.¡±


    After failing the Foundation Establishment, Wu Wan seemed to have let go and was ready to be more devoted to treasure appraisal and business. He earnestly advised Chen Mobai on trading gold, taking the initiative to remind him.


    ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re desperate for Good Deed Points, I can also introduce you to some of my contacts. You just have to be careful not to exceed 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, if you, a new face, go to trade gold, some bosses will report to the Immortal Gate just in case.¡±


    After hearing all of this, Chen Mobai felt quite alarmed.


    His possessions were already a bit illegally obtained, and if they were targeted by the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate, it would be disastrous. ¡ö¡¯I almost forgot. If you register a company, you can avoid this 10,000 limit, and our transactions would then be on a B2B bill. At the end of the year, when the accumulated points are returned, there might even be a discount.¡±


    Wu Wan proposed another method, but Chen Mobai immediately shook his head.


    He is only eighteen years old. If he rashly registers a company specifically for gold trading, wouldn¡¯t that attract more attention?


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thanked Wu Wan again, and also gave up the idea of exchanging more gold from the Tianhe Realm.


    If it can¡¯t be done here, then it might be worth trying the previous idea.


    Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai, dressed in ancient-style clothes, walked into a store opened by a local Immortal Cultivation family.


    Because Yun Country is located near the Yunmengze River, it is rich in Spiritual Energy. Many Immortal Cultivation families rely on the local Water Vein to open Medicine Fields, which can not only train their own Alchemists but also be sold to major Alchemy Sects like Back to Sky Valley.


    Moreover, after cultivating Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, they can exchange it for Foundation Building Pills, so practically all the Immortal Cultivation families here have a Medicine Field as a family treasure.


    But Back to Sky Valley only accepts top-grade medical materials, so a lot of lowly rated materials harvested after maturity fall into the hands of local market shops for sale.


    The three-story shop is called ¡°Siqi Pavilion¡± and is one of the industries of the Lou family, one of the four major Foundation Establishment families in the market.


    Chen Mobai heard from Qing Nu that there are four types of medicine properties: cold, hot, warm and cool, referred as the Four Qi, and that¡¯s probably where this shop got its name.


    ¡°Do you need spiritual medicine, or Spirit Pill?


    As soon as he entered the shop, a beautiful female cultivator who was at the third level of Qi Cultivation greeted him. She took a look at Chen Mobai s exquisitely stitched clothes and had a smiling face.


    -I have these three kinds of medicinal herbs which my elders need for Alchemy. But I don¡¯t exactly know what they are. Could you please check if you have them here?¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the three main medicinal herbs used for the refining of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from Qing Nu and handed it over to the female cultivator of the Siqi Pavilion, who nodded, took a tray and received the medicines.


    ¡°This is Bai Ji, Chui Zhu Grass, Zhe Li, very common types of Spirit Grass. We have all of them in our store. How much do you need?¡±


    The female cultivator seemed to have a good knowledge of medicinal herbs, looked carefully, smelled, and felt them and finally, with a charming smile, named three types of medicinal herbs that had completely different names on Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°What are the prices?¡±


    -They are all very common medicinal herbs, but the starting price is 1 Spirit Stone per pound. The prices for the three herbs are all the same.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai calculated that one pound of medicinal herbs could be used to refine five times. Even if Qing Nu could only be successful ten times in one go, it could still support his cultivation up to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. The price is also entirely acceptable. With these, he only needs to buy four types of auxiliary medicines from the Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s start by buying one pound each.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the beautiful female cultivator still had the same smile on her face, and she immediately invited Chen Mobai to the second floor.


    After her introduction, Chen Mobai learned that the second floor was where Spirit Grass and medicinal herbs were sold. The third floor was for selling their family¡¯s handmade Spirit Pill. Recently, a new batch of Juling Pills had been put on the shelves, and they wanted to promote it to see if Chen Mobai was interested.


    However, the Spirit Pills in Tianhe Realm all have a history of exceeding the standard toxin measures, and Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare to buy these. The Spirit Pills were abandoned, and after paying for the medicinal herbs in Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai left directly..

    Treasure Bottle Alchemy Room.


    Chen Mobai looked at the sign on the door, pulled out the access card given to him by Qing Nu, and the doorman let him in after a quick swipe.


    ¡°You¡¯re just in time, this is the successfully blended spiritual water. All you have to do is pour it into its packaging.¡±


    As one of the top pharmacies in Red Sandstone City, the rented Treasure Bottle Alchemy Room was fully equipped. Dressed in a white lab coat, Qing Nu handed a kettle of standard Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to Chen Mobai and pointed to a dozen glass tubes plugged into slots on the table nearby.


    ¡°What about the rest?¡±


    Chen Mobai placed the three large bags of medicinal herbs he was holding onto the table, grabbed the spout pot to start packaging, and looked at the remaining half of the medicinal liquid that had been separated in the pool.


    ¡°These original liquids exceed the standard for pill poison content. After collection, they need to be put into special packaging bags. Before you leave, give them to the recycling officer of the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy. They¡¯ll take care of their disposal.¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu took a rolled-up plastic bag from a cabinet on the wall. With a bit of spiritual power injected, it immediately inflated and turned into a square packaging bag.


    ¡°You¡¯ve improved, there are 20 tubes this time.¡±


    Chen Mobai steadily poured the diluted spiritual water from the spout pot into the standard glass tubes. Then, he stopped up the tube orifices, sealing them.


    ¡°The equipment in this alchemy room is better than what my old master used. Plus, I have practical experience now. I would definitely have improved. If I wasn¡¯t unfamiliar with this alchemy room, there would have been 25 tubes, nearly a 50% success rate.¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu had already packaged the original liquid that didn¡¯t meet the standard and put it into a trash bin marked ¡°poison¡±.


    ¡°Is this the next batch of medicinal herbs? Let me take a look.¡±


    Saying so, Qing Nu opened up the main medicinal herbs that Chen Mobai had brought over from Tianhe Realm, took a whiff, and her eyes lit up.


    ¡°The age and medicinal properties of these herbs are more substantial than the ones we bought online the last two times. We might be able to yield 30 tubes in the next refinement.¡±


    Hearing her words, Chen Mobai also smiled. He had been afraid that items from the Tianhe Realm might not meet the criteria here.


    ¡°However, these herbs have been preserved poorly, some of the medicinal properties have already vanished. They need to be used up quickly.¡±


    After confirming all three types of medicinal herbs, Qing Nu gave Chen Mobai some less-than-uplifting news.


    This was expected, after all, in Dihuan Star, the alchemy techniques have reached an apex, and there are classified preservation methods for different properties of medicinal herbs. Some even have specifically designed medicine warehouses set at different temperatures just to best preserve the medicinal properties.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, the best-case scenario they have is likely just dry, ventilated, and cool storage. If over half the medicinal properties can be preserved, it¡¯s already the result of the cultivators¡¯ hard work.


    ¡°By the way, how does your master usually charge the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy for selling these bottles of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Recently, he was planning to buy a strong amulet to break through the Ren Water Thunder Method inside the Water Mansion, but he was short on Good Deed Points.


    ¡°My master only charges a processing fee. The party providing the medicinal herbs pays for them. Regardless of the final production rate, he charges 1000 Good Deed Points per processing session.¡±


    ¡°1000 per session, that¡¯s easy money.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qing Nu pulled out a calculator and did some math for him.


    ¡°Treasure Bottle Pharmacy has its own medicinal fields and factories, and the cost of the main and auxiliary medicinal herbs add up to around 2000 points at most.¡±


    ¡°My master crafts rank-1, intermediate grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water with 95% or more success rate each time, handing over 40 tubes to them. With the market price of 200 Good Deed Points per tube, they can sell them for a total of 8000 points.¡±


    ¡°Minus the looo-point processing fee, the 2000-point material cost, and a bit of costs for other channels, Treasure Bottle Pharmacy makes at least 4000 points in profit per processing session.¡±


    After hearing all this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Selling medicine really is profitable.¡±


    ¡°However, we also can¡¯t ignore the cost of maintaining such a large scale operation for Treasure Bottle Pharmacy, or the salary costs at the medicinal fields and factories. But regardless, selling medicine is acknowledged as the easiest way to get rich in the Immortal World.¡±


    In the four disciplines of the Immortal World ¨C Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array-


    The talismans representing spells only sell well if they are for daily life. As the barriers of entry are low and competition is high, the profit margin is usually slim.


    It¡¯s the same for magic artifacts, those used for combat generally don¡¯t sell well. Only kitchen tools, airships, cars, and these sorts of transportation tools allow one to make money.


    Formations are even higher-end products. Most are custom-made private orders for entire houses. Branding is vital there, and very few manufacturers tackle this field.


    Only in the domain of medicinal pills is the industry exceedingly mature. Everyone needs them when cultivating and progressing, but the barriers to entry are strictly monitored by the Immortal World, raising the standards constantly. After thousands of years of internal competition, six large-scale pharmaceutical institutions, including Treasure Bottle Pharmacy, emerged.


    These large-scale pharmaceutical companies are practically monopolies. If not for the Immortal World¡¯s strict control on prices, ordinary cultivators like Chen Mobai might not be able to afford them even if they managed to secure some.


    ¡°It¡¯s a shame that they¡¯re not refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water for the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy. Otherwise, they would provide ¡®Spiritual Extracts,¡¯ which could help ensure a success rate of over 80% each time.¡±


    Looking at the original liquid in the trash bin waiting to be discarded, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°Spiritual Extract? What¡¯s that? Is it a type of auxiliary medicinal herb?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°Yes, something like that. It¡¯s an auxiliary herb that large pharmacies use specifically for filtering pill poison. The reason my master has a success rate of over 95% every time is not only due to her superb skills but also because of the ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ provided by the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy.¡±


    ¡°Can you buy ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re making it sound simpler than it actually is. That ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is precisely why these large-scale pharmaceutical firms stand out amidst the fierce competition in the Immortal World¡¯s marketplace. Any ordinary pharmacy, despite having a rank-4 alchemist, wouldn¡¯t last long in the competitive pharmaceutical industry due to the lack of ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about all the alchemists in the Immortal World. These alchemists usually join one of the six major pharmaceutical firms to better their opportunities in the end.


    ¡°So, this ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is only available in the six major pharmaceutical firms?¡±


    ¡°Not necessarily, ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is obtained by ground-up spiritual stones that have been drained of their spiritual energy. It can be collected from various channels, but only the six major pharmaceutical firms, supported by either the Immortal World or one of the four Daoist Academies, have a vast reserve of spiritual stones.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Spiritual Extract is crushed spiritual stones that have been drained of their spiritual energy?! That thing can be reused like that?!¡±


    Chen Mobai was once again moved to tears by the thriftiness of Dihuan Star¡¯s cultivators..

 Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Heavenly Spiritual Root_l

    Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Heavenly Spiritual Root_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai remembered that there was still a used spirit stone in the drawer of his room. Full of energy, he immediately ran back to retrieve it.


    ¡°Crushing this into a spiritual extract will filter out the toxic remnants of two doses of raw medicine, but we still need a reactant.¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t question why Chen Mobai had such an item. She had simply assumed his family once produced a great cultivator and now he was a somewhat downcast young master.


    ¡°Can the reactant be purchased?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cheap. You can buy a large jar for 100 Good Deed Points, which is enough to compound 50 doses of spiritual extract.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s words eased Chen Mobai¡¯s worries. His Good Deed Points were not in abundance and while the three main elements needed to make Qi-replemshing Spirit Water could be purchased in the Tianhe Realm, the four auxiliary ones could only be bought here on Earth. His remaining Good Deed Points would only be enough to purchase enough for three doses.


    ¡°Do I no longer need a flavor modifier?¡±


    Qing Nu noted the omission and Chen Mobai shook his head, indicating that he had run out of pocket money. He had no choice but to cut back on expenses in any way possible.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll first refine a dose of Spirit Water without flavor modifiers for you to try. If you can tolerate the taste, we¡¯ll continue in this way for the rest.¡± As she said this, Qing Nu was still apprehensive. She had tasted it before and found it unbearably bitter.


    Chen Mobai nodded. At the same time, he was thinking of going to Southstream Market to collect some used spirit stones. He packed away the 20 tubes of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that was successfully refined and prepared to leave.


    ¡°Right, you¡¯re the same age as me. How are your preparations for the college entrance exam going?¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai remembered this detail and asked with a touch of concern.


    ¡°Whether I take the exams or not, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ve already been given a direct admission.¡±


    ¡°Really? Which university have you been admitted to?¡±


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy!¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s a great university¡­wait, what academy did you say¡­?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Qing Nu, unsure if he had heard her correctly.


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy. Why else would you think the Baoping Pharmacy would rent me this alchemy room? I¡¯m essentially using the facilities of my


    own school.¡±


    After a long silence, Chen Mobai took a good look at Qing Nu. Remembering their first encounter at the top-tier high school, she had always concealed her face with a mask and hat.


    Originally, he thought it was because she was beautiful and had many suitors at school.


    Now it seemed more likely that she was simply too famous within the school. ¡°Now it makes sense why Gu Changfeng, a cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment realm, could not resist taking you as a disciple when he came to give a lecture at the school. Even if a Golden Core realm expert met you, they would probably not be able to resist. Your spiritual root is indeed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed and felt foolish for not realizing this sooner. ¡°Actually, that¡¯s not the case. Although those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots cultivate quickly before core formation, the absence of obstacles and bottlenecks in the early stage inhibits the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation. It¡¯s not as high as those with ordinary spiritual roots who climb step-by-step. Among the Nascent Soul realm cultivators today, only four started off as Heavenly Spiritual Roots. So if there are sufficient resources, my future achievements might not even surpass yours.


    Qing Nu shook her head. Her words rendered Chen Mobai speechless. Only a short while ago, his sole ambition was to successfully establish his foundation within his lifetime.


    ¡°What realm are you in now?¡±


    ¡°Qi Cultivation Rank-6.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai finally felt a bit better ¨C he was at the same level as her.


    However, considering that the spiritual energy in Qing Nu¡¯s apartment was only Rank-1 Lower-grade and she could only practice Qi cultivation two hours a day in the cultivation room at her school, it was undoubtedly impressive that she could reach Rank-6 under such conditions.


    ¡°You carry on then. I¡¯m going back to review.¡±


    ¡°Alright, come back for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water tomorrow. After filtering out the toxic residues with spiritual extract, we should still have enough left to compound about fifteen more tubes.


    Chen Mobai nodded appreciatively. He reminded himself that he now had the good fortune of the Tianhe Realm. If he became a major trader between the two realms in the future, there would be an endless supply of spirit stones. Even though he didn¡¯t possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he still had a promising future.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went to Southstream Market and happened to run into Qi Er at the entrance. Qi Er was very grateful, saying that he would have died in Yun Meng Ze if it hadn¡¯t been for the Green Arrow Talisman.


    in the course of their conversation, Qi Er wanted to give Chen Mobai the two spirit stones he had earned as a reward, but Chen Mobai shook his head and declined.


    Afterwards, Chen Mobai enlisted Qi Er¡¯s help to buy some used spirit stones, preferably those depleted of spiritual energy.


    Even though Qi Er found the request odd, he successfully collected the used spirit stones from several small loose cultivators in his network in less than half a day, totaling seventeen.


    Qi Er informed him that he had purchased each spirit stone for 10 taels of gold. Chen Mobai nodded and handed him a 500 tael gold note.


    With this amount of spiritual extract, Qing Nu had more than enough for refinement, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t linger any longer in the market.


    Spurred on by the news that Qing Nu had already secured a place at Jumang Daoist Academy, he devoted himself even more assiduously to his studies over the next two months.


    After acquiring a sufficient amount of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he stopped wasting time peddling goods altogether, focusing solely on studying and cultivation in the hopes of achieving a high score in the college entrance exam. If he couldn¡¯t make it to the four top Daoist academies, he at least wanted to get into one of the top ten academies.


    For now, his goal was set on the Pure Yang Academy!


    Thus, Chen Mobai embarked on the most hardworking and upwardly mobile time of his life.


    Every night, he would cultivate Qi in the Water Mansion. In the mornings, while attentively listening to lessons at school, he also reviewed the basic knowledge from the past three years for all four subjects.


    Nurturing divine sense, or in ancient times referred to as ¡®enlightenment¡¯, opened up the door of wisdom.


    The spells, formulas, talismans, formations he had once found complicated and difficult to understand became intelligible with a few reads, coupled with his consistent consulting of teachings from the educators. His foundations solidified over time, and he gradually became more scholarly.

    The most surprising thing for Chen Mobai was his breakthrough in his realm of cultivation.


    Perhaps due to his consistent practice of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique and the early readiness of his divine sense, the bottleneck of the later stage of Qi Cultivation didn¡¯t exist; coupled with a steady supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Rank-2 spiritual energy from the Water Mansion, he broke through to the 7th realm of Qi Cultivation a week before the college entrance examination.


    Henceforth, Chen Mobai finally gained confidence that he could try for entrance to the Four Great Daoist Academies.


    However, after reaching the 7th realm of Qi Cultivation, he was once again confronted with a crucial question.


    Should he continue practicing the ¡°Five Elements Cultivation,¡± or shift to the ¡°Pure Yang Scrolls¡±?

 Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Proxy Immortal Gate Network_l

    Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Proxy Immortal Gate Network_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Water Mansion.


    After watering the Green Paulownia seedling, he opened his personal panel.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18 years old]


    [Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Level]


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]


    [Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield] Though Five Elements Cultivation was rather ordinary, it had one advantage: it could use spells of any attribute.


    Even though Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t practiced Blackwater Cultivation, within the Water Mansion, an environment with rich resources, he had integrated all three spells recorded there.


    Among them, ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± was simplest, and he had now mastered it.


    The ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, originally beginner-level, made significant progress after reaching the divine sense realm. He was only one step away from casting it, which required condensing a spiritual water known as ¡°Black Water¡±.


    The only exception was the last, ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±. He had always failed to grasp it, so he hadn¡¯t included this spell in his own skill list yet.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai decided it was best to be cautious about cultivation. He decided to continue practicing the ¡°Five Elements Cultivation¡± for now and consult the professors at the Daoist Academy after he passed the entrance exam.


    If he could be admitted to the Pure Yang Academy, there would be no doubt; he would immediately switch to the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    But what if he showed great potential and was admitted to one of the four major Daoist Academies? There might be even better cultivation techniques than the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±!


    In any case, Five Elements Cultivation can be seamlessly converted into any of the Five Elements attributes. There was no hurry to switch techniques.


    Like Qing Ping, who achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± through Five Elements Cultivation and then transitioned to the Elemental Soul Cultivation Technique of Jade Purity Scripture, he was reputed to be the weakest among his contemporaries. However, he was the only one who had reached that realm. Judging by his achievements, Qing Ping had surpassed ten generations of spiritual root cultivators, and may even hope for Primordial Spirit transformation.


    Chen Mobai took Qing Ping as a model, understood this point, and instantly felt enlightened.


    Anyway, the college entrance examination was just a week away. Even rushing now wouldn¡¯t allow him to start cultivating the ¡°Three Sun Body¡± in time. He could let go for the time being, and consider this problem again after the entrance examination of the various Daoist Academies.


    Then he remembered another matter, opened the Turtle Treasure, and sure enough, the ¡°Proxy¡± button was protruding and glowing.


    ¡°I¡¯ve broken through to Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, and can represent another app. Which one should I choose?¡±


    He returned to his apps list, scrolled through it, and kept looking. He was inclined to pick the comprehensive shopping app ¡°Immortal Portal¡±, but was equally attracted to ¡°Library of Immortal Spells¡±.


    The Library of Immortal Spells contains all the spells from the four great Daoist Academies, ten academies, and one hundred and twenty prefectures of the Lower Land Star.


    It was reported to contain one million spells.


    Alongside the ¡°National Library¡±, they were known as the two major secrets of the Immortal Sect. It¡¯s said that it also collects some divine skills inspired by ancient scriptures, such as the Immortal Technique ¨C Mending the Heaven.


    However, after carefully considering it, Chen Mobai still chose the ¡°Immortal Portal¡±.


    Because he didn¡¯t have much desire for spells at the moment.


    He preferred something more practical.


    He clicked the ¡°Proxy¡± button on the Turtle Treasure, then selected the icon for ¡°Immortal Portal¡±. The cute turtle logo appeared in the center of the screen, rotating once before disappearing into the profile picture of the newly registered user in the top right corner.


    It was still the turtle immortality.


    After the representation was completed, Chen Mobai opened up this new profile to take a look. As expected, it only had rank-3 permissions.


    It seemed the software developed by the Immortal Sect had different protection measures than those from the public.


    But the rank-3 permissions were sufficient.


    Chen Mobai opened the official Immortal Sect flagship store page, and, as expected, he had many new permissions.


    For example, free shipping. Usually, when he purchased items, he only dared to buy from addresses in Red Sandstone City or nearby cities. This was because, when shipped from other major cities, the cost of freight could sometimes be nearly as high as the value of the goods themselves.


    This was largely because all the oil and gas resources on Lower Land Star had been exhausted. Now, vehicles and planes were all powered by spiritual liquid and spirit stones. The price to make a round trip quickly, was quite expensive. In addition to free shipping, he¡¯s also able to know about items that will be available for purchase a month in advance.


    However, the best rank-3 user privilege was that, each month, they could pre-order one item officially released by the Immortal Sect. It could be a pill or a magic artifact. As soon as it was available for grab, it would appear on a user¡¯s order page. The official system assumed you had grabbed it; all you needed to do was pay for it.


    After looking into this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    But he could only look at these. He didn¡¯t dare to use this permission for actual purchases.


    Because once he made a purchase with this account, it would be revealed immediately.


    However, knowing a month in advance about the items that would be listed by the various flagship stores on the Immortal Portal was already very useful to him.


    But Chen Mobai guessed that the early information available via proxy might only include details programmed in advance. If there were last-minute changes by the flagship stores, it probably wouldn¡¯t be included.


    As he was thinking, he began to browse a list of elixirs the Immortal Sect¡¯s official flagship store would be selling in the coming month.


    On the 5th, 18th, and 26th of next month, a triad of Foundation Establishment enhancers will be available. The timing of their releases will vary between morning, afternoon, and evening.


    in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, a fervor ignited. If he could grab these items and resell them, he could make at least a 20% profit. Based on the official price of 800,000 Good Deed Points per item, that means a gain of over one hundred thousand Good Deed Points per item.


    The only problem was that he didn¡¯t have enough capital to make the purchases.


    But now that he knew this information, he had time to figure out a solution. He could even post online that he had grabbed the items but didn¡¯t have the money to buy them. If anyone was interested, they could wire him the money. Although this may seem somewhat deceptive, as long as he got someone familiar to guarantee him, there would certainly be people willing to take up the offer.


    For example, Wu Wan. He handled business and likely had a broad network of contacts.


    Even though Chen Mobai had been diligently cultivating recently, he had also been contemplating how to make money on Lower Land Star.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Exchanging spirit stones and selling gold were definitely not options anymore. He had also thought about selling the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water produced by Qing Nu on his online store. However, since Qing Nu didn¡¯t have the qualification to apply for the Alchemist registration certificate yet, no one would dare to buy the spirit water, even though it met the standards.


    The first choice for cultivators on Lower Land Star to buy elixirs were the direct supply stores run by the six giant pharmaceutical factories, followed by the stores of famous Alchemists. Small pharmacies could only do business among acquaintances.


    Gu Changfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who ran a pharmacy, didn¡¯t have a thriving business. Therefore, Chen Mobai¡¯s business wouldn¡¯t fare any better.


    That¡¯s why he chose to proxy for the Immortal Portal. After a lot of pondering, he decided that this was a solution to his embarrassing financial constraints on Lower Land Star.


    He had already tasted poverty for a month, and dealing with untreated Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was too bitter..

 Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Spirit Ascension Powder_l

    Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Spirit Ascension Powder_l


    Translator: 549690339


    One day left until the college entrance exam!


    In the classroom, the usually stern head teacher, Chai Deyun, began to froth at the mouth, emphasizing to all the students the importance of the college test.


    ¡°According to statistics, the success rate of Foundation Establishment among students of the Cinnabarite Red Dawn Institution is 2%. In other words, only two out of a hundred people can successfully establish their foundation.¡±


    ¡°For students of the top ten colleges, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is 20%. Taking our class of 49 people as an example, if all of them are admitted to the top ten universities, then ten people will successfully establish their foundation. Isn¡¯t that an exceptional achievement!¡±


    ¡°And if you are admitted to the Four Great Daoist Academies, that¡¯s even more incredible. Although, the Foundation Establishment success rate for students from these four universities hit a new low last year, even at this new low, it stands at 75%!¡±


    ¡°The benefits of successful Foundation Establishment need not be mentioned by me, right? Not to mention the significant increase in lifespan, you can also apply for a Rank-2 Spirit Vein from the immortal sect, and even access more powerful spells and stronger cultivation techniques in the Immortal Sect¡¯s spell library and the national library.¡±


    ¡°After establishing your foundation, even if you want to become the principal of your alma mater, I guess the principal would be more than happy to give up his position to you.¡±


    While listening to Chai Deyun, Chen Mobai was playing with his phone.


    He was trying to snap up the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± that the Immortal Sect¡¯s official flagship store had released today. Although he knew in advance that it would be listed at 9:38 in the morning, he had been refreshing and waiting since half past eight.


    After all, there are not a few Gold Core cultivators in the Immortal Sect. Although they have long lost interest in Foundation Establishment treasures like this, what if their later generations need them?


    However, he was quite lucky. Perhaps due to his sincerity, the Immortal Sect was touched by him waiting for an hour before it listed. The moment the 10,000 shares of ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± were listed, his quick order placement got him one.


    Yay!


    If he weren¡¯t in the classroom, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but want to jump for joy.


    ¡°What are you so happy about?¡±


    However, his expression caught the attention of the person sitting next to him. Lu Hongsheng, who had completely forgotten about the previous incident, asked softly.


    ¡°I was randomly scrolling through the Immortal Sect¡¯s website today and luckily came across a newly listed batch of ¡®Spirit Ascension Powder.¡¯ I was lucky enough to snag one.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide anything, pretentiously showing Lu Hongsheng the unfinalized purchase on his phone screen.


    ¡°Your luck is unbelievable.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng¡¯s eyes widened, and he spoke with a hint of sourness.


    ¡°You actually got one!?¡±


    By this time, the head teacher on the stage had finished speaking, and it was time for a break. The two girls sitting in front of them who heard their conversation also turned around, looking incredulously at Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai shrugged, letting the students around him look at the order page on his phone.


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    Afterwards, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with envious eyes.


    One quick-thinking student took out his phone and started trying to snap up the product. It was like a chain reaction, everyone began logging onto the Immortal Sect¡¯s website, trying to grab the newly listed batch of Spirit Ascension Powder.


    ¡°Oh no, I was so close, I clearly saw there were three left in stock a moment ago!¡±


    The first girl who reacted hit the desk in annoyance.


    ¡°How could I be so stupid!¡±


    The first one who found out, Lu Hongsheng, wanted to bang his head against the wall. If he had tried to grab it right after Chen Mobai told him, maybe he could¡¯ve gotten one too.


    Whether he could afford it was another story, plenty of people would help him pay.


    The only person in the entire class who sat still, as unmovable as a mountain, was Song Zheng.


    He believed he could at least get into one of the top ten colleges. By then, he could get two items for the Foundation Establishment for free the first time. If he had enough Good Deed Points, he could also buy from the school to complete the Foundation Establishment treasures.


    So, Song Zheng had absolutely no interest in a trifling single piece of ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder.¡±


    The commotion also attracted the head teacher, who originally wanted to pack up his textbooks and leave. When he found out that Chen Mobai had gotten the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder,¡± his face changed a bit. If his first opportunity to establish his foundation in the school hadn¡¯t been used up, he might have wanted to buy it from this student.


    However, some quick-witted students had already picked up their mobile phones and quickly spread the news.


    After all, there are many teachers at the Qi Cultivation stage in the school.


    Ding!


    Just before the second class, Chen Mobai suddenly received a text message.


    The sender was Chansi.


    [I have a Senior Sister who is preparing for Foundation Establishment. If you want to resell your ¡®Spirit Ascension Powder¡¯, you might want to consider me.]


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect the first person to approach him would be this teacher. He was originally intending to let the whole class know, after all, selling it to a school teacher is better than selling it to someone he doesn¡¯t know outside.


    Although the faculty of the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect is mediocre, these teachers who have been hired to teach them are top choices in terms of character and cultivation. Selling to them means not having to worry about them defaulting on the payment.


    If it had been another teacher, Chen Mobai definitely would have held out for a better price.


    But since it was Chansi who had contacted him, after a little consideration, he replied with a [Sure].


    Luckily, Mr. Ding¡¯s term had already passed, and he didn¡¯t need the Foundation Establishment Treasures. Otherwise, if both these teachers needed to buy Spirit Ascension Powder, he wouldn¡¯t know who to give it to.


    After class, head teacher Chai Deyun called Chen Mobai to the office.


    He was introducing another teacher who wanted to purchase the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder,¡± but Chen Mobai said that he had already promised Chansi. After hearing that, the former teacher left with regret.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Mr. Chansi hasn¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment yet, if he needs it, he can buy the complete Foundation Establishment Treasures from the Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    As the other teacher left, Chai Deyun suddenly brought up this matter. Chen Mobai hesitated a moment before explaining that Chansi was buying it for a senior sister. Chai Deyun nodded in understanding after hearing this.


    Conveniently, Chansi was teaching a neighboring class that day and was also at the school. The two of them agreed to meet after the morning classes ended.


    ¡°The Foundation Establishment Treasures are usually marked up about 20% on the market. I¡¯ll transfer you 160,000 Good Deed Points. How does that sound?¡±


    In the office, Chen Mobai heard Chansi¡¯s words and nodded.


    Among the three treasures, the demand for ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± is slightly lower. After all, compared to ¡°Vein Protection Pill¡± and ¡°Solidifying Qi Liquid,¡± there are plenty of pills and magic artifacts that could replace it. Even if he handed it to Wu Wan for resale, it might not even fetch this price.


    After Chen Mobai changed the delivery information on the order and handed it to Chansi to pay, the latter used his credit card to quickly transfer him 160,000 Good Deed Points.


    Looking at the new message about the bank balance on his phone, Chen Mobai¡¯s hands were shaking a little from never having had so many Good Deed Points before.


    He laughed at how unsophisticated he was, getting this excited over a mere 160,000 Good Deed Points.

    ¡°By the way, the college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. How are your preparations going?¡±


    All of a sudden, Chansi asked about this. Chen Mobai replied with a self-effacing smile.


    ¡°I should have no problem at least participating in the entrance exam for the Four Great Daoist Academies and the top Ten Colleges.¡±


    ¡°Oh, congratulations. But this year¡¯s entrance examination is a bit special, I¡¯m afraid your chances of passing are slim.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±

 Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Past Years’ Real Exam

    Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Past Years¡¯ Real Exam


    Questions_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I can¡¯t give specifics, but it¡¯ll be happening in a few days. The details of the enrollment exam will be announced after the high-school exam.¡±


    Chan Ssu was tight-lipped, so all Chen Mobai could do was restrain his curiosity and leave her office.


    Back in the school¡¯s cultivation room, Chen Mobai wasted no time.


    After practicing the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God technique¡± for a while and sensing his mind beginning to tire, he stopped and went online to search for information about the enrollment exams of the various academies over the last few years.


    Last year¡¯s entrance exam was arranged by representatives from each Daoist academy, forming nine interconnected formations, ranging from simple to complex. The qualification for admission to the four major Daoist academies was to solve seven formation problems.


    However, among all the students in Red Sandstone City, the best result was solving six formations. In the end, that student could only go to the Astral Observation Academy among the top ten academies.


    Chen Mobai frowned as soon as he saw this. He wasn¡¯t completely ignorant about formations. As he persisted in asking Chan Ssu for guidance over time, he had mastered the Azure Water Formation of the Rank-2 Water Mansion.


    Due to his knowledge, he felt he ranked in the top three in his class in terms of proficiency in formations.


    Thus, with confidence, he spent 10o points to download the real entrance test papers from the fairy¡¯s test bank for the most recent ten years.


    Nine interconnected formations, as intricate as pearls.


    The real test paper was named quite aptly, Chen Mobai thought to himself, then took out his stationary from his bag, ready to start solving the formation problems.


    Half an hour later, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, he slumped down and put down the paper and pen in his hand.


    He had barely cracked the first two formations. By the third formation, nearly half of the knowledge and formation patterns contained therein exceeded his understanding, surpassing the content in the compulsory education textbooks for grades one through nine.


    According to last year¡¯s results, cracking two formations would qualify one to choose to study at any of the 120 houses of Xianmen.


    In other words, this was as far as Chen Mobai could go.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t admit this. He believed that the school taught too little about formations; he had no interest in formations and had not taken the time to delve into and expand upon his knowledge in this area.


    So he switched to another set of real questions from the year before.


    That year, the four major Daoist academies held separate exams. Jumang Daoist Academy tested a kind of spiritual medicine cultivation technique, requiring that this spiritual medicine be upgraded from Rank-1 to Rank-2 within a month.


    Chen Mobai, unfamiliar with the concept of spiritual worth, skipped this entirely.


    Dance Tool Dao Academy sent every eligible student a piece of iron essence weighing six liang (about 225 grams) and required them to refine it into a flying sword. The requirement was that the sword be of at least Rank-2.


    He skipped this as well.


    The entrance exam for the Repairing Heaven Institute was to repair a defective array plate¡­


    Why is it formations again, skip!


    Chen Mobai looked with last hope at the entrance exam question for the Kunpeng Daoist Academy: each student takes a piece of Rank-2 beryl wutong tree bark, inscribes talismans on it, collects essence of thunderfire, and if the talisman reaches Rank-2, they may enroll.


    He skipped with a blank face and opened up the day¡¯s entrance exam real questions from three years ago.


    That year, the format was even more diverse: they needed to form teams of ten to cooperate in cultivating a spirit vein, evolving a Rank-1 spirit vein into Rank-2. This process was recorded in its entirety. If the cultivation was successful, the academy representative would grade each member of the team on their leadership, cooperation, and skills.


    Still, everyone failed, with not a single person admitted into the four major Daoist academies.


    Three years ago, four years ago¡­


    After viewing the real exam questions from the past ten years, Chen Mobai was left in a daze.


    He couldn¡¯t solve a single year¡¯s entrance exam questions.


    However, Chen Mobai himself never had any hope of getting into the four major Daoist academies; his target has always been the top ten academies.


    More accurately, the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    After all, the artificial spiritual root from the national library advised Chen Mobai to practice the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± and the ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± based on his spiritual root talent, giving him a slim chance of reaching the realm of the primordial spirit.


    Trust in the nation.


    Chen Mobai, who had comforted himself in this way, then looked at the real questions from when the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy had separate entrance exams among the top ten academies.


    After seeing this, he finally had a little confidence.


    At least compared to the entrance exams of the four major Daoist academies which basically required at least a Rank-2 realm knowledge, the top ten academies only required knowledge of Rank-1. Occasionally, if there were too many applicants in a certain year, the threshold would be raised to Rank-2.


    However, after looking through ten years of real questions, Chen Mobai had also figured out some patterns.


    If the four major Daoist academies and the top ten academies jointly held the entrance exam, it would typically be in the four major subjects, Technqiue, Pill, Instrument, and Array since these were the basics that could easily distinguish the students¡¯ levels of talent.


    If they held separate exams, all sorts of strange and varied content could arise.


    For example, the Pure Yang Academy emphasized mental state, the Primordial Elemental Academy valued background and powerful Divine Sense, the Five Thunder Academy would admit Thunder Spiritual Root for free, the Nature Studies Academy would admit Different Spiritual Root for free, and the Mountain Sea Academy would select potential Sword Cultivators¡­


    Chen Mobai set his first choice as the Pure Yang Academy, his second choice was the Primordial Elemental Academy, and his third choice was the local Red Dawn Institution.


    As for the four major Daoist academies, he didn¡¯t have much confidence after seeing the real questions from the past years.


    Checking the time and seeing he had a bit left, Chen Mobai started browsing various flagship stores on the Immortal Gate¡¯s website again.


    He had his eye on a lower-grade Rank-2 ¡°Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡±. The Pure Yang Academy¡¯s official flagship store would be launching a hundred of them at 6:45 tonight.


    The price was 68,000 Good Deed Points.


    The timing was a bit awkward, normally at that time Chen Mobai would be in his Water Mansion, but he could understand the reason.


    In order to accommodate as many cultivators as possible and give everyone a chance, and limited by the finite resources on Earth Star, each time the Immortal Gate released pills, talismans, magic artifacts, and such, the time was uncertain.


    Which meant that every minute of the 1440 minutes in a day, all the flagship stores might launch good items.


    Even though you were guaranteed to get something good if you kept a constant watch, pills like the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment that Qi practitioners loved most would only be stocked three times a month. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn¡¯t stay up all month, vigilantly watching the screen and waiting for items to be listed.


    This was the greatest fairness that the Immortal Gate could achieve under the circumstances of limited resources.


    Chen Mobai set an alarm for himself to remind him to grab the ¡°Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡± made by the Pure Yang Academy in the evening.


    After leaving school, he decided not to cultivate today.


    The high school exam was in two days, and even if he did cultivate, his mind wouldn¡¯t calm down.

    He called Qing Nu and invited her for dinner in the evening.


    He had promised her before to treat her to grilled fish.


    After getting home, Chen Mobai made a trip to the Water Mansion and caught two descendants of the Azure Blood Carp. He didn¡¯t kill them, but directly handed them over to the helpful owner of the grilled fish restaurant.


    After eating, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t stop praising the food.


    She said she had never eaten such delicious fish in her life..

    On the day of the high school graduation exam.


    Chen Xinglan also specially rushed over from the Red Dawn Institution to cheer her son on.


    Compared to his parents, Chen Mobai looked relaxed, carrying his admission ticket and a pencil case, walking into the examination room with composure.


    Ever since he achieved Divine Sense, he has been reviewing the knowledge in the textbooks, and he has mastered it all within two months.


    Although it can¡¯t be said that he has completely grasped everything, he at least understood every single point of knowledge, and when encountering a related question, he could easily retrieve the corresponding content from his memory.


    On the first morning, the Technique paper.


    Chen Mobai kept filling in smoothly from beginning to end, only stumbling slightly at the very last question.


    This final comprehensive question exceeded the scope of high school knowledge, but Chen Mobai was prepared. He used the knowledge stored in his mind to deduce the omissions in this spell, completed it, and although he couldn¡¯t say it was the standard answer, he filled in every blank space.


    Among the students with worried looks, he calmly turned in his paper and left.


    In the afternoon were questions on Bane.


    Although he hadn¡¯t studied this area in-depth, his interactions with Qing Nu had taught him some extracurricular knowledge. After writing all the answers he knew on the paper, he didn¡¯t bother to exert himself further and stopped writing, waiting until the bell rang for the end of the exam.


    On the next morning was the Vessel paper.


    He had no idea about the final comprehensive question, so he had to fill it out to the best of his abilities.


    Lastly was the Formation paper.


    Chen Mobai smoothly completed the penultimate question, then tackled the final comprehensive question with a let¡¯s-see-what-happens attitude.


    After three different papers, he had deciphered the pattern: the last comprehensive question involved knowledge beyond the textbooks, which was designed to separate the high-grade papers.


    Each paper is scored out of too.


    According to previous years¡¯ cutoffs, generally, a score of 330 and above would allow one to apply to the top ten academies and take the entrance exams. As for entrance to the four Great Daoist Academies, last year¡¯s cutoff was 350 points.


    However, these scores fluctuate, depending on the number of candidates.


    At this point, Chen Mobai finished reading the final comprehensive question regarding formation and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of delight when he understood it.


    [10. Please provide at least two methods of repairing the incomplete Array Plate for the Overwhelming Sea Formation. Also, specify the effects of the five different Array Flags in the Overwhelming Sea Formation and arrange them in the order of the diagram in Example 1 to form the complete Formation. (This question is worth 20 points and no points will be deducted for incorrect answers.)]


    ¡°If I score over 90 points on this test, I¡¯m definitely treating Teacher Chan to a meal.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, took out his ruler, and based on his understanding of the Azure Water Formation, he integrated it into the Overwhelming Sea Formation. First, he completed the design of the entire formation and then began answering the question according to the diagram.


    The rules of formation may change, but the principles remain the same. The Overwhelming Sea Formation, like the Azure Water Formation, is a Rank-2 formation rooted in the Water Vein.


    Chen Mobai reviewed the functions of the Azure Water Formation¡¯s Array Flags, then filled out their corresponding names in the Overwhelming Sea Formation diagram.


    Finally came the methods of repairing the Array Plate. Having directly repaired an Azure Water Array before and subsequently confirmed his findings online as well as consulted with Chan Si, he had stored several methods of repairing large formations in his mind.


    Chen Mobai was a forward-thinking person and in fear of encountering problems with the Azure Water Large Formation again, he had stored more than two formation repairing methods in his mind.


    Given the incomplete Array Plate of the Overwhelming Sea Formation in the question stem, Chen Mobai selected the two most suitable repair methods from his memory and filled them out satisfactorily.


    This Formation paper was the one that took him the longest and required the most effort. He only finished just before the bell rang five minutes before the end of the paper.


    Finally, he used his Divine Sense to review it once, then put down his pen with relief.


    ¡°Phew! I should have scored about 15 points.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had confidence in the final comprehensive question of this Formation paper, in the end, the Azure Water Formation was a formation from the Tianhe Realm. Even though Chan Si had helped him understand it with Earth Origin Star¡¯s knowledge, it still differed from the Overwhelming Sea Formation.


    If he could score 15 out of 20 points, he would be very satisfied.


    For the four papers, there were 320 points for knowledge from the textbooks, of which he was confident of scoring full marks. Aside from the final comprehensive question on the Vessel Paper which he had no idea about and could only fill in to the best of his abilities, he believed he should be able to score some points for the small questions on the Technique Paper and Elixir Paper.


    If he performed well, he might just scrape 350 points, qualifying for the entrance exams to the four Great Daoist Academies.


    For cultivators who have achieved Divine Sense, the moment they finish the exam, they can estimate their scores with a high degree of accuracy.


    Chen Mobai was no exception.


    However, he did not check his answers, wanting to leave himself with some hope to keep his mood up during the vacation.


    ¡°Freedom at last!¡±


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°Damn that Overwhelming Sea Formation¡­¡±


    After the high school graduation exam ended, all the various faces of the students in the Immortal Gate High School N0.5 were revealed. Chen Mobai leaned against a pillar in the corridor, watching the emotional rollercoaster of his classmates laughing, cursing, or shouting in victory, and suddenly felt out of place.


    After achieving Divine Sense, these emotional ups and downs had become food for his Divine Sense, leaving him constantly calm but also gradually losing the normal joys and sorrows of a common person.


    Is this what it means to practice Immortal Cultivation?


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai understood why the higher the level of cultivation achieved, the lesser the person liked to interact within society.


    But he had the feeling that this was not right.


    If cultivating to become an Immortal resulted in losing what it means to be human, then what¡¯s the point of becoming an Immortal?


    Or is it that Immortals are supposed to leave behind worldly desires and materialistic pleasures?


    As he pondered, a gaze fell on him. Chen Mobai looked up and saw Song Zheng.


    They nodded at each other and then left the bustling classroom together, heading for the playing field outside.


    ¡°You just achieved Divine Sense, so it¡¯s normal if you¡¯re not used to it. Yan Bingxuan and I decided to pretend to be aloof and limit our interaction with you to avoid this issue.¡±


    Song Zheng spoke, indicating that it wasn¡¯t just Chen Mobai¡ªthey had felt the same.


    ¡°Is Cultivation all about retreating from society in the end?¡±


    ¡°My teacher said that most Cultivators in the Immortal Gate cultivate amidst the mundane world. Those who wish to become Hermits usually end up dying alone.¡±


    Upon hearing Song Zheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Considering the scarcity of resources and the Spirit Veins wholly held by the Immortal Gate, if someone truly wished to retreat to a mountaintop, the lack of Spiritual Energy supply might genuinely lead to such a fate.


    ¡°Which one of the top ten academies do you choose?¡±


    Song Zheng asked again.


    ¡°Oh, so you have that much faith in me?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked surprised. He wasn¡¯t very familiar with Song Zheng.


    ¡°Our teacher said you often ask him questions about Spells. If you wish, we can call each other brothers. If we can go to the same academy in the future, it would be better, so we can look out for each other.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t your goal one of the four Great Daoist Academies?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I only managed to answer the last question on the Technique Paper, so my points might not reach 350.¡±


    As he spoke, the always proud Song Zheng suddenly sighed and showed a solemn expression that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    ¡°I should probably choose between the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy. I just don¡¯t know if they¡¯ll accept me.¡±


    Chen Mobai also spoke up. Even though he and Song Zheng were not close, old man Ding had treated him very well.


    ¡°My three choices of preference are: Primordial Elemental Academy, Nature Studies Academy, and Heavenly Book Academy. I hope we can go to the Primordial Elemental Academy together..¡±

 Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Magic Duel l

    Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Magic Duel l


    Translator: 549690339


    When Chen Mobai and Song Zheng returned, the entire class was looking at them in astonishment.


    Song Zheng¡¯s arrogance was well-known in the class. Previously, when Yan Bingxuan was still there, the two would often compete against each other. After Yan Bingxuan dropped out, Song Zheng had become a solitary figure of pride, hardly interacting with anyone else in the class.


    ¡°Well then, now that you two are here, please have your seats.¡±


    On the podium, the class teacher Chai Deyun, upon seeing Chen Mobai and Song Zheng, signaled for them to return to their seats.


    ¡°I have both good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?¡±


    Chai Deyun, usually quite serious, displayed a rare hint of humor, perhaps due to the impending departure of the students he had taught.


    ¡°Good news!!¡±


    The students chorused.


    ¡°This year, the top ten schools are expanding their enrolment, potentially lowering their admission thresholds. Those at Qi Cultivation Level Six, if they are lucky, may even be admitted.¡±


    As soon as Chai Deyun announced this, half the class erupted in cheers, but Lu Hongsheng, sitting next to Chen Mobai, deflated. He was only at Qi Cultivation Level Five. No matter how much the top ten schools expanded their enrollment, it had nothing to do with him.


    ¡°Having shared the good news, it¡¯s now time for the bad news.¡±


    Chai Deyun continued speaking. Everyone in the class looked up at him. He cleared his throat.


    ¡°The admission test content of the Four Great Daoist Academies and the Ten Schools were sent to all high schools two days ago. For students who are devoted to cultivation, it may pose some challenges. We didn¡¯t tell you earlier for fear it would affect your mindset for regular school exams. Now is a good time to inform you.¡±


    Hearing this, most of the students¡¯ hearts shot up in their chests, including Chen Mobai and Song Zheng.


    ¡°The theme is two words: Magic Duel!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about testing your Spell mastery. Each student will only rely on Spells in combat, without using any Magic Artifacts, elixirs, or Formations. The students who manage to go far in the competition will be scored by representatives from the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Schools.¡±


    ¡°However, the detailed order of the competition and rules will be announced after the cutoff scores are released, and after the Cinnabarite Institute arranges their venue. Possible candidates for the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Schools will be divided and put into Magic Duels according to their cutoff score.¡±


    After Chai Deyun finished speaking, everyone was stunned.


    Magic Duel!?


    It seemed like it had been nearly a hundred years since there was such a bare-bones admission test. Were they aiming to select students with exceptional combat talents?


    ¡°Is there a major war brewing?¡±


    Song Zheng mumbled to himself, but his eyes quickly lit up. He found his Element in Spells under the guidance of Ding Jinglue. Even Yan Bingxuan had been defeated by him.


    If the test was really about Magic Duel, his chances of getting into the school he had his heart set on were practically certain.


    If his score is high enough, gaining admission to one of the Four Great Daoist Academies might not be a far-fetched idea.


    ¡°Teacher, may we use talismans during the Magic Duel?¡±


    Chen Mobai abruptly raised his hand and asked a question.


    ¡°Theoretically, talismans are solidified Spells and are within the scope of a Magic Duel. However, if talismans can be used, it would be too advantageous for students from wealthy families with long legacies. I believe they will be banned from use. Still, we¡¯ll have to wait for the official announcement from the Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    Answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Chai Deyun hesitated before replying. His answer lined up with what Chen Mobai had been thinking.


    In the world of Cultivators, talismans were classified under techniques. However, since they only required a minimal amount of Spiritual Power to activate and didn¡¯t need preparation time, unrestricted use of them would obviously be a guaranteed pass for the rich kids.


    Next, Chai Deyun answered a few more questions from the students, then gazed sorrowfully at the 49 familiar faces below.


    ¡°Although I would really like to go on this journey with you all, every journey must eventually come to an end. From here on, it¡¯s your path to walk.¡±


    Having said this, Chai Deyun declared the end of class for the last time.


    Afterward, he forced down the wave of regret welling up in his heart and turned toward the door to exit.


    ¡°Everybody up!¡±


    At the class monitor¡¯s command, all the students rose to their feet and gave a deep bow to this class teacher who had been with them for three years.


    Chai Deyun paused in his steps for a moment but then quickly strode out of the classroom. He didn¡¯t want his emotional departure to rub off on his students.


    Chen Mobai felt a strong wave of emotion welling up in the sea of his heart. After closing his eyes and concentrating, he found that his Divine Sense had increased by a tenth. He was beginning to understand why his spirit might ascend following a profound realization.


    Each strong emotion pushes them to grow.


    No wonder Immortal Cultivation protagonists in TV dramas always go through Refining Heart in the Mundane World when they¡¯re stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation, regardless of their gender. Indeed, this is a way to make a breakthrough. However, it¡¯s also possible to lose yourself completely, leading to a shattered state of mind.


    ¡°Shall we all have a farewell dinner in two days?¡±


    At this point, class monitor Mo Simin stood up and shouted towards the class. The majority cheered in agreement, and a minority of introverts hesitated, though they remained silent.


    ¡°Old Chen, let¡¯s attend together. We¡¯re about to part ways, and who knows when we¡¯ll meet again.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, a sociable person, came over when he saw Chen Mobai unresponsive. He then began persuading him.


    The two beauties Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu from the neighboring desks also came over to persuade him.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment before finally agreeing.


    While on the other side, Song Zheng promptly declined. He wanted to seize this time to practice a powerful Spell.


    After all, his determination is stronger than mine.


    Chen Mobai watched Song Zheng get up and leave without hesitation and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and smile bitterly.


    It¡¯s not that he lacked emotional intelligence, but being someone with high EQ often meant compromising one¡¯s own feelings to accommodate others. Therefore, he usually expressed himself directly and honestly, like first time he and Qing Nu went out for grilled fish.


    Cultivators seek a clear and open mind to remove the source of their Heart Demons.


    If they were to build up a host of upset feelings in their hearts, it would undoubtedly cause them to stumble or even shatter their state of mind when the time comes for a breakthrough.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now. Once you all decide, just notify me of the time and place.¡±


    Chen Mobai notified Lu Hongsheng before getting up to leave. Lu Hongsheng was left speechless, his mouth hung open, wanting to say something. Somehow, recalling the scene of Song Zheng and himself walking into the classroom together earlier, he had a rough understanding of what was happening. Eventually, he quietly nodded.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai started researching information about Magic Duels in the Immortal School entrance examination.


    Sixty-nine years ago, there was a Magic Duel in the entrance examination for Wangwu Cave Sky School.


    The winner at that time was a student from a military family.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, a Magic Duel is, in laymen¡¯s terms, a fight.


    And who could fight better than a soldier? Even though there hadn¡¯t been any life-or-death battles for the Cultivators in the military in the last hundred years, the spirit of valor and combat had always been upheld. Being in genuine fights every day, of course, they would be skilled in Magic Duels.


    Chen Mobai eventually found a news interview with the winner.


    [¡°If you want to be good at Magic Duels, real combat experience is the most important. Three years of Spell practice does not compare to three months of intensive military training. You all only see my victory, but not the numerous scars that I¡¯ve healed and accumulated since childhood through my rigorous training.¡±]


    The name of the winner was one that Chen Mobai surprisingly recognized, Lan Haitian..

 Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Cold Ice Technique__l

    Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Cold Ice Technique__l


    Translator: 549690339


    Magic Duel.


    Chen Mobai was pondering on how to improve in this area. For now, he would not consider the use of talismans. All the major Daoist academies and institutions within the Immortal Sect wouldn¡¯t favor the children of wealthy families. Even if they could use talismans, restrictions would certainly be placed.


    So, firstly, he had to cultivate some spells suitable for combat.


    Thinking of this, he opened his personal panel.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Level]


    [Spiritual Roots: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]


    [Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield]


    The only ones suitable for combat are ¡°Spiritual Force Shield¡±, ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡±, and ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±.


    Among them, ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± requires the refinement of a spiritual water named ¡°Dark Water¡±. The method of refinement is recorded in the notes that Liu Yanpei left behind, which involve the use of the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡±. However, Chen Mobai was distressed.


    Based on the records in the Blackwater Cultivation notes, the refinement of Dark Water requires finding a spiritual spring that has been stained by the Water Pulse Spirit Qi for a long time, then refining its essence with the Water Controlling Technique. Further processing is then done with a spirit stone and six types of medicinal plants from the Tianhe Realm. The quickest refinement process takes a month.


    About 20 days after the university entrance exam, the scores can be checked, along with the preparation work for registration and group assignments based on grading lines. Chen Mobai figured he would just have enough time to prepare for a month.


    However, even if he had good fortune and the refinement was successful within one try, he did not plan to waste a precious month on refining Dark


    Water.


    At the very least, he needed to practice a powerful offensive spell. After all, the spells he currently knew, be it the Spiritual Force Shield or the Water Elemental Shield, were all for defense purposes. The Water Controlling


    Technique was inclined more towards auxiliary usage.


    Perhaps due to the extended peace in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai never felt the need to cultivate destructive spells.


    Even if combat was needed, he could substitute it with talismans. Little did he know, the entrance exam of this year¡¯s Daoist Academy would adopt such a crude and simple method of a ¡°Magic Duel¡±.


    His current situation compelled Chen Mobai to cultivate an offensive spell. Immediately, he opened the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± software. He wanted to find a spell that was suitable for himself, could be quickly mastered, had notable power, and preferably would fit with his current skill set.


    However, he was merely a Qi practitioner and didn¡¯t have the authority to let the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± ¡®s artificial spirit make such a precise judgment for him.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not becoming a proxy for the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± when he broke through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation.


    But it was too late for regrets now. All he could do was to look for the software that aids in cultivation.


    Searching for the strongest spell that a Five Elements Cultivation practitioner can cultivate, what would it be?


    The results were plentiful. However, most of them were Rank-2 spells and above he couldn¡¯t practice. Some of the Five Elements Cultivation practitioners shared the spell systems they had built from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.


    But upon looking into it, Chen Mobai was utterly disappointed.


    Most of them did not particularly focus on combat. Many of them were for the ease of cultivation. While there were a small portion of combat spells, none of them could be mastered within a short month.


    And to create a balanced system of offense and defense, at least two or more spells would have to be cultivated, which would leave him no time.


    After looking around online, Chen Mobai was compelled to return to Blackwater Cultivation.


    The spells recorded in this Qi Cultivation method from the Tianhe Realm, started from ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± to ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, then to ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, are sequentially progressive, forming a complete system. After the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, there was the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± that Liu Yanpei had left in his notes.


    However, Chen Mobai had absolutely no ideas about this method of water and thunder. He only hoped that he could master the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± within one month.


    According to Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes, the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± also requires water to cast. If ¡°Dark Water¡± is used, its power would double.


    Dark Water, again!


    When Chen Mobai thought of these two words, he felt a toothache.


    But he soon thought of a good solution ¨C to get Dark Water without refining it himself.


    When Chen Mobai previously sold the Blackwater Cultivation to Old Man He, he clearly remembered Qi Er mentioning that he was practicing this technique. Also, being at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Er must have also mastered the Water Elemental Shield.


    Based on this inference, given the unique social environment of the Tianhe Realm, He Qun would undoubtedly do everything she could to augment her combat abilities. Perhaps, she had already refined Dark Water.


    Thought breeds action.


    Chen Mobai immediately left the Water Mansion and rushed to Southstream Market, hoping to rely on his luck to make a purchase.


    ¡°You want to buy Dark Water?¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, He Qun, the stall vendor selling cultivation techniques, was stunned. He then shook his head and declined.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. I did refine a few bottles of Dark Water myself, but they are my most valuable assets. I don¡¯t even have enough for myself, let alone sell them


    to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai persistently pleaded, but Old Man He was annoyed and directly proposed twenty spirit stones per bottle as an outrageous price to dissuade him.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t blame me for being heartless, the refinement of Dark Water is just too difficult.¡±


    ¡°To gather six medicine plants for refining, I need to hire an alchemist. Old Man Liu¡¯s alchemy skills aren¡¯t so refined; three out of every four attempts result in failure, and he still charges me one spirit stone for each attempt.¡± ¡°Altogether, the production cost of one bottle of Dark Water rounds up to about five spirit stones. And as you know, the power of the Cold Ice Technique practiced in the Blackwater Cultivation is doubled when backed by Dark Water. Recently, I planned to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze. Once successful, I will fear no one in the same realm.¡±


    Having recognized Chen Mobai, He Qun knew that he had a lot of powerful talismans and didn¡¯t want to refuse him completely. After quoting an outrageous price, he started explaining.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more depressed. If he hadn¡¯t sold the Cold Ice Technique to Old Man He, the latter probably wouldn¡¯t have valued Dark Water so much.


    It can only be said that every sip and every bite is ordained by heaven.


    ¡°Oh, the Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze, can they help in mastering the Cold Ice Technique?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai immediately noticed another piece of information in Old Man He¡¯s words and asked urgently.


    ¡°Yes, the gallbladder of the Cold Snakes contains a unique Cold Ice True Intent. They possess the ability to freeze water and spit out arrows. After consuming a few, practitioners of Blackwater Cultivation can basically comprehend the Ice Breath and subsequently master the Cold Ice Technique.

    ¡°Is Yun Meng Ze dangerous?¡±


    ¡°It can be dangerous, but also safe, depending on which area you go to and whether you go alone or in a team.¡±


    ¡°Does it help in improving a cultivator¡¯s combat abilities?


    This was the question that Chen Mobai cared about the most.


    After reading the interview article about Lan Haitian¡¯s victory in the magic duel and his admission to Kunpeng Daoist Institute, he knew that real combat was the best way to train. There were no real combat conditions on Planet Di Yuan, while in Tianhe Realm, it was everywhere. Also, knowing the shortcut to mastering the Cold Ice Technique, it felt like heaven was encouraging him to make a move..

    Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Five Elements Sect Shop 1


    Translator: 549690339 I         ¡ª


    He Qun nodded in agreement after listening.


    ¡°Of course, if you want to gain something in Yun Meng Ze, you generally need to battle with demonic beasts.¡±


    The deeper you go, the stronger the demonic beasts. Correspondingly, the rewards you get after victory become greater. Beasts of Rank-2 and above have their inner cores, which are necessary for alchemy. Every major sect would purchase them at a high price.¡±


    ¡°Many lone cultivators, if they want to exchange for Foundation Building Pills from major sect trade associations, can only risk their lives to delve deeper and hunt beasts of Rank-3 and above for their inner cores.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.


    He hadn¡¯t thought that alchemy in the Tianhe Realm would utilize demonic beasts¡¯ inner cores. This was completely different from how it was done in Di Yuan star.


    However, thinking about it more in-depth, it was understandable. On Di Yuan star, high-rank beasts were rare. Most of them were on the verge of extinction and were listed as protected spirit beasts by the fairy sects. Mention not killing them for their inner cores. Even hurting one would make big news.¡±


    It seemed that the alchemy method in the Tianhe Realm had its merits if it was up to par in terms of dan poison control.¡±


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai asked how to get to Yun Meng Ze.


    ¡ö¡öI am planning to form a team to hunt Cold Snakes, and you¡¯re welcome to join if you follow commands.¡±


    He Qun had some knowledge about Chen Mobai. He knew that he was at least at the Qi Cultivation level of six, and he had many powerful talismans. If his team could recruit Chen Mobai, it would be a big help.¡±


    ¡°When will fellow cultivator depart?¡±


    Chen Mobai was tempted but decided to remain cautious instead of accepting the offer outright.


    ¡°Three days from now. With you included, there will be seven people. After hunting the Cold Snake, the spoils will be divided equally. However, the snake gall must be handed to me. If there¡¯s any difference in value, it can be compensated with Spirit Stones.¡±


    ¡°I will consider it and give fellow cultivator my reply tomorrow.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai left He Qun¡¯s stall.


    Afterward, he first asked Qi Er about He Qun¡¯s reputation in the Southstream Market and found it to be quite good. Cultivators who went out with him were generally able to return safely. Only occasionally would someone perish. However, given the treacherous nature of Yun Meng Ze, his team had an impressively high survival rate.


    Chen Mobai was relieved. At this point, one of his stall neighbors returned. It was Lu Shu. Chen Mobai curiously asked him for his opinion.


    You re referring to old man He? He is somewhat suspicious.¡±


    ¡°Oh? How so?¡±


    Immediately, Chen Mobai widened his eyes and leaned in closer to Lu Shu. ¡°His team has too high a survival rate. Although I just operate at the border market of Yun Meng Ze, I know that every team that enters typically suffers a 100/0 to 20% casualty rate. However, his team can generally return completely intact, which I find very peculiar.¡±


    After Lu Shu¡¯s statement, Chen Mobai started to ponder the reasons behind it. There were only two explanations if almost everyone in the team could return safely.


    First, they did not go beyond their capabilities; second, the overall cultivation level of the team was high, their preparations were adequate, and the team coordinated well to handle various emergencies.


    After hearing his analysis, Lu Shu shook his head, presenting a chilling possibility.


    ¡°Perhaps this team was purposely created to establish a good reputation to attract outsiders to join.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was reminded of the time when he first entered the Water Mansion. An old man and a young man who were supposed to cooperate attacked each other when it came to distribution of the spoils. He shuddered at the recollection.


    No, he needed to be more cautious.


    After thanking Lu Shu, the latter proceeded to inform him about various things to be aware of when going to Yun Meng Ze. He also gave Chen Mobai a small biography.


    ¡°Record of the Descent of the Dragon in Yunmeng River by True Monarch Yi Yuan¡±


    This palm-sized book was a tale of a legend in the Cultivation world that Lu Shu used to pass the time while peddling. Having finished it, he casually gave it to Chen Mobai, who thanked him before pocketing the book.


    By the way, Brother Lu, do you know of anyone else in the Fang Market who practices the ¡®Blackwater Cultivation1 technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another critical question.


    In this Eastern Wasteland, where people value courage and aggressiveness, cultivators generally need to practice a fair number of techniques for self-protection. If anyone has practiced the ¡®Blackwater Cultivation¡¯ to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, they should have refined some Dark Water within them.


    There are many since the Cultivation Technique originates from the Five Elements Sect of the Water Vein. It¡¯s complete and orderly system. However, lone cultivators who practice this technique would undoubtedly have to join the Five Elements Sect if they wish to establish their foundation. It is a way for these dominant sects of the Eastern Wilderness to control the lone cultivators.¡± This Dark Water you speak of, I do have an impression. I have seen cultivators of the Five Elements Sect use it in Yun Meng Ze. However, I am unsure about whether it can be traded.¡±


    ¡°Right, aren¡¯t there stores opened by the Five Elements Sect in the market? You can ask them.¡±


    Lu Shu¡¯s words reminded Chen Mobai, and he hurriedly excused himself and headed towards the large shops in the market main street with enthusiasm.


    The Five Elements Sect is one of the powers that rule over Southstream Market. They own five shops here, each selling Spirit Stone Gold, Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass, Talismans, Magic Artifacts, Formations. They have vast resources and robust strength.


    Chen Mobai went to the shop that sold Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass.


    ¡°Dear customer, regarding the Dark Water you mentioned, indeed our sect does have it available for exchange. However, our shop doesn¡¯t have it in stock, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    The Shopkeeper of the Medicinal Pill and Spirit Grass store was a middle-aged man at the Qi Cultivation level of six. He was not arrogant like the people from the major sects. After listening to Chen Mobai, he looked apologetic.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, could you bring in stocks from your sect¡¯s headquarters?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, only to be met with the shopkeeper¡¯s shake of the head.


    ¡°Customer, we don¡¯t have the authority to call for stocks. Everything sold in the market is surplus from our sect¡¯s stores, which is then passed to us to handle. This Dark Water is generally only used by people from the Water Vein, and any surplus will only be taken to the market in Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chen Mobai understood that he needed to go to Yun Meng Ze regardless.


    However, he definitely could not join He Qun¡¯s team.


    Before leaving, he asked the Five Elements Sect about the price of this Dark Water. It was not cheap, priced at 10 Spirit Stones a bottle. This was the internal price. If it were sold in the market outside the Sect, it would cost at least 15 Spirit Stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Thank you, Shopkeeper.¡±


    After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mobai found He Qun at his stall and told him he changed his mind about joining his team to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze due to a sudden matter. Upon hearing this, He Qun frowned but said nothing.


    Chen Mobai did not mind his reaction. Following Lu Shu¡¯s instructions, he found a caravanning team in the Market that offered rides on Spirit Camels.


    There were three ways to reach Yun Meng Ze.


    The first is to walk; the second is to join one of these caravanning teams; the third is to pay Spirit Stones to use a Teleportation Array, which costs 10 Spirit Stones per use..

 Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Teleportation Array_l

    Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Teleportation Array_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Walking there by himself would be a waste of time, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know the way.


    He was curious to experience the Teleportation Array, but the cost of ten Spirit Stones was simply too high.


    So, he was left with the option of joining a caravan, which would only cost one Spirit Stone, albeit taking five days on the road.


    Southstream Market was managed by four prominent Cultivator families: the Liu family, the Wu family, the Lou family, and finally, the Luo family that tamed the Spirit Camels.


    It was possible for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to fly for long periods, but those were the pillars of their families ¨C it would be too demeaning for them to transport goods.


    Hence, Spirit Camels were raised, which could grow up to Rank-2, having great endurance, capable of travelling a hundred miles a day, carrying a load of a thousand pounds, and running for seven days and nights without rest.


    Leveraging this skill, the Luo family had the majority of the logistics business in Southstream Market.


    Due to the unique environment of Yun Meng Ze, Spirit Rice could not be cultivated there, so goods had to be brought in from the major markets in the surrounding Yun Country regularly.


    In addition to their own Spirit Rice, the Luo family also transported the Liu family¡¯s Spirit Fish, the Wu family¡¯s Spirit Wood, and the Lou family¡¯s Spiritual Medicine. They charged for transporting people to Yun Meng Ze as well.


    After paying a deposit, Chen Mobai received a ticket.


    Checking the time on it, he noticed it was for three days after.


    Could it be that He Qun was also travelling with this caravan?


    To be sure, Chen Mobai inquired with the receptionist, who remembered He Qun as he had purchased tickets for six people in one go, qualifying him as a major customer.


    Upon confirming that He Qun was on the same trip as him, Chen Mobai frowned and decided, for safety¡¯s sake, to cancel his ticket, earning a glare from the Luo family member.


    But it was one Spirit Stone and Chen Mobai was not planning to join the caravan anymore, so he definitely wanted it back.


    After retrieving his deposit, he stopped wasting time as there was only one month left until the entrance examination at the Daoist Academy. He had to master the Cold Ice Technique within this month.


    After begrudgingly paying ten Spirit Stones and waiting for nearly an hour to gather a group of ten people, he stepped into the teleportation array located within the market.


    This was a small Teleportation Array set up by the Five Elements Sect. However, it was taken over by the Divine Wood Sect during an internal strife fifty years ago. After several conflicts, the two factions finally reached a compromise.


    While the Teleportation Array was formally owned by the Five Elements Sect, half of the income from each teleport was shared with the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai reluctantly paid ten Spirit Stones, waited nearly an hour until a group of ten people were ready.


    As silver light flashed, he noticed something strange.


    The teleportation felt similar to when Turtle Treasure had transferred him from Earth to Tianhe Realm.


    Could it be?


    Was Turtle Treasure a mobile Teleportation Array?


    As soon as Chen Mobai felt he had discovered something crucial, his eyes brightened, and they had arrived at the market of Yun Meng Ze.


    ¡°We have arrived.¡±


    The person in charge counted the numbers, finding that all ten were present, and marked a check on a list.


    Chen Mobai stepped out of the Teleportation Array along with most of the group and found himself on an island.


    Surrounding the island was a vast body of water, filled with abundant mist.


    He took a breath and felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy was at least intermediate grade Rank-1. He couldn¡¯t help but nod in approval.


    Walking around the island, he noticed that the size of this market was comparable to the Southstream Market. However, he had been prepared for this.


    Lu Shu had told him that due to the many islands and large lakes of Yun Meng Ze, there were many markets spread across various islands. These markets collectively were referred to as the Yun Meng Ze Market.


    The island they teleported to was just one of the footholds in this area for Yun Country¡¯s Cultivators.


    The deeper one ventured, the more prosperous the markets became.


    The heart of Yun Meng Ze was the main base of the Water Vein of the Five Elements Sect ¨C Wind Rain Retreat.


    However, this was also where the most intense battles occurred. If not for the suppression of the seven factions, the Rank-3 Demonic beasts would have long broken out and ravaged the Eastern Wilderness.


    Not planning to linger, and following Lu Shu¡¯s instruction, Chen Mobai found a ship branded with the Liu family¡¯s symbol at the dock to head to the largest nearby island and Green Light Island Market managed by the Divine Wood Sect.


    Rows of neatly organized wooden houses stood on top ofSpirit Fields on the island.


    This was one of the stopover places for the cultivators in Yun Meng Ze, where the Divine Wood Sect offered protection. Moreover, the island was a blessed land with a Rank-2 high-grade Spirit Vein providing a good place to rest and train.


    After asking for the price, Chen Mobai found that places with abundant spiritual energy costed as much as ten Spirit Stones a month. Being financially constrained, he could only rent a cave dwelling in the area with the least spiritual energy. The person in charge was not bothered. After cheerfully collecting one Spirit Stone, he led Chen Mobai to the lowest and most depressed part of the island.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, this place only gets flooded when it rains. The spiritual energy here is decent enough,¡± he instructed.


    Chen Mobai sensed the spiritual energy around him and found it to be at upper-grade Rank-1, which was slightly comforting.


    After the person in charge left, he activated the Formation of the cave dwelling, and a green light appeared on a stone at the entrance, indicating that the dwelling was occupied and protected by the Divine Wood Sect.


    The dwelling was a single-story wooden house with a bed, a table, and three stools. It was indeed quite simple.


    He ventured out and noticed that about half of the dwellings here were occupied. Just that dwellings around him were unoccupied due to the unfavorable location.


    But that was better for him; he preferred tranquility.


    After tidying up with the Cleaning Technique, Chen Mobai left to explore the market on Green Light Island.


    Due to heavy footfall, there were more items available here compared to Southstream Market.


    The prices, however, were higher.


    Chen Mobai inquired about Dark Water and hit the jackpot when he found it being sold in the Spiritual Medicine shop operated by Divine Wood Sect. However, it was priced at fifteen Spirit Stones, which he could not afford.


    It seemed that before refining his magic duel skills, he had to earn money first.


    He had to return to his old trade.


    Setting up a stall.


    Things were different here. There was no need to pay a vendor fee to the Divine Wood Sect; he just had to stake a claim on an available spot.


    Chen Mobai placed the mat he brought from Southstream Market in a corner and displayed a stack of talismans on it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At first, he feared the situation would be similar to Southstream Market where people wouldn¡¯t recognize the quality of the talismans. However, he soon discovered that the cultivators here were different.


    As they frequently battled with demonic beasts, talismans were in high demand. Almost every cultivator could distinguish the quality of talismans.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s talismans were of excellent quality, it didn¡¯t take long for him to sell half the low-rank talismans he brought from the Wood Spiritual Talisman store, while all the mid-rank talisman were sold off.


    Even the only Rank-1 high-rank Resurrection Talisman was bought by a Rank-9 Qi Cultivator in exchange for three Spirit Stones.


    With thirteen Spirit Stones and two ten-thousand-coin Gold Tickets in hand, he immediately went to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spiritual Medicine store and purchased a purified vial of ¡°Dark Water¡±..

 Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Dark Water System_l

    Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Dark Water System_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Inside the wooden house.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Blackwater on the table that he bought with all his savings, and he couldn¡¯t help but be filled with many thoughts.


    If it wasn¡¯t for an urgent need, he would never have spent so much Spirit Stone.


    He hoped the effect would satisfy him.


    He opened the bottle. A refreshing mist rose up. Looking inside, although it was called ¡°Blackwater,¡± it was very clear and had a faint medicinal fragrance. The Divine Wood Sect, after all, was a malor sect in the Eastern Wilderness, so the quality of what they sold was guaranteed.


    Chen Mobai used the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± and the Blackwater in the bottle started to turn into a thin thread, like a string of necklaces falling into the palm of his hand.


    After a conversation with Lu Shu, he understood the origin of the Blackwater Cultivation. It¡¯s one of the seven Qi Cultivation techniques of the five-element Water Vein, that can be cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm. Although it¡¯s not the most powerful technique in the Water Vein, it is one of the most famous Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The core of this technique lies in the refinement of the ¡°Blackwater¡±. The subsequent advancement of spells, and even the refinement of the Magic Artifact, is all about the continuous advancement of this ¡°Blackwater¡±.


    Chen Mobai naturally had no intention of changing his cultivation to this technique, but he found the construction of its spell system quite interesting.


    In the Tianhe Realm, due to the collapse of rituals and chaotic order, cultivators often engage in magic duels. So, the most important aspect of their cultivation techniques lies in the breakthrough of realms and the construction of a system for all techniques and magic artifacts that can enhance combat capabilities.


    This Blackwater Cultivation is a typical Tianhe Realm technique. It uses ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± as a basis, followed by the core ¡°Blackwater¡±. Once Blackwater is refined, there is the defensive ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, followed by the offensive ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, and finally, the Rank-3 ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡±.


    All spells are based on this Blackwater.


    Chen Mobai began to use the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±. The Blackwater in his palm scattered and floated up to the middle of the room according to his will, forming a water wall as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings.


    Compared with the basic spell of the Immortal Sect, the Spiritual Force Shield, this Water Elemental Shield is more flexible.


    The Spiritual Force Shield releases all of one¡¯s spiritual power at once, forming a defense shield without any dead angles on the whole body. But the drawback of this spell is also quite obvious. After using it, the whole body¡¯s spiritual power is exhausted and it¡¯s very wasteful.


    This is a defensive spell that the Immortal Sect requires everyone to cultivate so that it can save one¡¯s life in case of accidents like car crashes.


    The pros and cons of the Spiritual Force Shield are very obvious.


    The Water Elemental Shield, however, is different. It manipulates this bottle of Blackwater. As long as one¡¯s mind is in motion and you can see the way of the opponent¡¯s attack, you can place all the defensive power on the path of the opponent¡¯s attack in advance.


    If the ¡°Spiritual Force Shield¡± is a foolproof full-body defense, the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± is a predictive defense, and the latter¡¯s consumption of spiritual power is only one percent of the former¡¯s.


    in other words, if he wants to use the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± well, Chen Mobai still needs to improve his magic duel skills.


    He took out his needle box, ready to test the defensive power of the Water Elemental Shield.


    Luckily he had developed the Divine Sense, and he could easily multitask. With a ¡°swoosh¡±, the yellow Flying Needle, repelled by the magnetism of the needle box, shot out like a bullet, forming a stream of light piercing the Water Elemental Shield set up by Chen Mobai in front of the wooden house pillar.


    The faint semi-transparent water wall, under the sharp attack of the flying needle, acted like elastic gelatin, being pierced into the sharp shape of the needle. But under the constant infusion of his spiritual power, it didn¡¯t break at all. Instead, it caught the flying needle within the water wall.


    Ding-dong!


    After the magnetism on the flying needle was exhausted, it lost all momentum and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.


    Chen Mobai looked at the intact water wall, which was only deformed into the shape of a needle tip, and nodded in satisfaction.


    Now with the needle box for offense and the Water Elemental Shield for defense, he should not in much danger moving around the edge of the Cloud


    Dream Marsh.


    Thinking of this, he tried the defensive limit of the Water Elemental Shield and also tested the offensive limit of the needle box.


    After the late stage of Qi Cultivation, this magic artifact was easy for him to control completely.


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai, who had the feel of the power of the needle box and Water Elemental Shield, put away both things.


    The twelve flying needles scattered around the wooden house, like baby swallows returning to the nest, clanged back into the box under the pull of the needle¡¯s magnetism. Under the control of the Water Controlling Technique, the Blackwater returned into the Jade Vial, like a string of water bead necklaces. According to Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation notes, this ¡°Blackwater¡± also has usage limitations. After the Water Elemental Shield has been used hundreds of times, the elixir spiritual energy refined into it would be overly consumed, and it needed to be refined and extracted again. Otherwise, it would become unreliable.


    After calming his breath for a while and recovering his consumed spiritual power, Chen Mobai started to cultivate the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±. This spell also needs Blackwater. It uses the Water Controlling Technique to transform Blackwater into any shape you need, then concentrates own spiritual power into an Ice Breath, freezing Blackwater. It can be made into an Ice Wall for defense, an Ice Blade for attack, or a Ice Arrow for shooting. It¡¯s very versatile.


    However, this spell consumes even more ¡°Blackwater¡± than the Water Elemental Shield. After freezing and melting twenty times, the Blackwater needs to be remixed.


    Chen Mobai just bought this bottle of Blackwater, and he felt a bit distressed using it to practice the Cold Ice Technique. But in order to improve his magic duel skills, this spell had to be mastered. If it comes to the worst, he would work harder and later sell some Spirit Talismans he made himself.


    Following Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation notes, he raised the spiritual power from his Dantian, and started the Qigong practice at his twelve luo-connecting points. With a ¡°huh¡±, a stream of air spouted from his mouth and fell on the Blackwater that was condensed into a stick shape by the Water Controlling Technique in front of him.


    Then, there was no reaction!


    He failed.


    Chen Mobai sighed. He felt he really didn¡¯t have any talent for spells. He had been practicing this Ice Breath since he broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, but it had never been successful.


    Not to mention condensing water into ice, he hadn¡¯t even seen a trace of frost appearing.


    And he also blamed the fact that the spell records in the Tianhe Realm were not detailed enough. If it was like the teachers at the Earth Elemental Planet School, who not only drew diagrams when explaining spells, matched the human body¡¯s meridian spiritual power flow lines, and even made more detailed video explanations, wouldn¡¯t he be able to practice this Cold Ice Technique?


    At this moment, the alarm on his mobile phone rang.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It reminded Chen Mobai that it was time to go home.


    He turned off the alarm. He clicked [City Return] in the wooden house at Cloud Dream Marsh Qing Light Island.


    -I need to buy more talismans. Fortunately, I have some money now. It¡¯s just a pity I didn¡¯t get that ¡®Xuan Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡¯ last time. The Pure Yang Academy is too stingy, they only released a hundred.


    Back in his room, Chen Mobai mumbled to himself while he began to wash up and change his clothes.


    It¡¯s the farewell dinner with his classmates today..

 Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Procurement^!

    Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Procurement^!


    Translator: 549690339


    After changing from his traditional attire to his usual casual clothes, Chen


    Mobai picked up his phone and prepared to step out.


    As he walked, he was simultaneously shopping for spirit talismans on his phone. Fortunately, his divine sense was so finely honed that he didn¡¯t need to be worried about bumping into things.


    He once again found himself shopping at the Wood Spiritual Talisman store.


    After selling his Spirit Ascension Powder to Teacher Chan Si¡¯s sister, he had acquired a fortune of completely legal money. He swept through buying the talismans he had coveted before but had been too poor to purchase.


    He bought out all the Rank-1 lower-grade and intermediate-grade talismans, spending a total of 11,600 Good Deed Points.


    Afterwards, he bought two Wooden House Talismans. He was planning to go to Yun Meng Ze to fight demonic beasts for practice and might not be able to return to Green Light Island. If he had to sleep on a deserted island, at least with these talismans, he wouldn¡¯t have to endure the wind and rain.


    He bought five Resurrection Talismans, which could replenish spiritual power and remove negative effects. Each of these was worth two spirit stones at the Southstream Market according to Lu Shu¡¯s estimation, but would sell for three at Yun Meng Ze. Here, the price was 500 Good Deed Points, which meant the profit rate could be as high as 60 times by ignoring exchange rates. It was a gold mine just waiting to explode.


    Regrettably, the store only had five in stock.


    Also there was the Soldier-transforming Talisman he had noticed before. Although it was most potent in a place with abundant vegetation, Chen Mobai knew that Yun Meng Ze had plenty of aquatic plants as well. Unfortunately, the shop only had three of these talismans in stock ¨C far too few.


    After a series of purchases, he had practically bought out the Wood Spiritual Talisman store.


    Only the insignificant ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± and the Rank-2 ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± which acted as the centerpiece of the store were left.


    Although he had been liberal with his spending, he seemed to have startled the shopkeeper, who promptly sent him a message through the backend portal of


    Xianmen Website:


    [Dear customer, are you going through a hard time emotionally and need retail therapy? We would like to remind you that although our talismans will undoubtedly provide a satisfactory experience after use, they cannot cure a gloomy mood, you know.]


    What the heck was this?


    Chen Mobai simply shot back with a response:


    [Your talismans are of good quality; they are very popular back home. I¡¯m stocking up in bulk to sell back there.]


    [Dear customer, thank you so much! With your purchases, I have earned enough to pay this year¡¯s university tuition fees for my younger siblings. I will individually package your goods and send them with express delivery right away.]


    This shopkeeper was not bad, crisp and efficient.


    Chen Mobai thought as such while he started browsing the upcoming talismans and magic artifacts that various flagship stores on the Xianmen website would be releasing in the next month.


    After he set the calendar reminders for the 18th and 26th of the month to buy the ¡°Three Gems¡± for Foundation Establishment, he checked again for talismans which could be similar to the ¡°Xuan Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡±. Unfortunately, talismans with offensive abilities were not appreciated in Xianmen. The only one available was the ¡°Golden Luminous Sword Talisman¡±, which Shan Hai Xue Gong would put on sale on the 15th.


    However, this talisman had attained an upper-grade Rank-2. With three uses, its price could compete with one of the Foundation Establishment ¡°Three


    Gems¡±.


    Chen Mobai initially thought he was rich. On seeing this, however, he thought he was still poor.


    Helpless, he could only return to the Wood Spiritual Talisman store, grit his teeth, and purchase their Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    [Dear customer¡­]


    The shopkeeper sent another message through the backend portal. The Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman had been listed for two years and only one piece had been sold. Chen Mobai was the second customer to purchase it.


    This one talisman cost 50,000 Good Deed Points, which was more expensive than buying out all Rank-1 talismans.


    The shopkeeper was concerned that Chen Mobai might have bought it by mistake and specifically sought confirmation from him via the portal.


    [Can you ship it along with the other talismans I bought earlier?] Chen asked. There are many stores selling talismans on the Xianmen website, but the local ones in Danxia City that offer free shipping can be counted on one¡¯s fingers. Chen Mobai was a sentimental person. The talismans from this Wood Spiritual Talisman store were quite good, so he didn¡¯t feel the need to browse other shops.


    [Dear customer, I¡¯m extremely grateful for your generous orders. I¡¯d like to reciprocate your patronage by gifting you a three-bedroom Wooden House Talisman.]


    The shopkeeper wasn¡¯t bad, quite thoughtful indeed.


    While Chen Mobai thought this, he typed another message:


    [I already bought two Wooden House Talismans. A single room is enough when used outdoors. A three-bedroom one would be a waste. I saw that your ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± has been listed for over two years without selling a single piece. How about sending me this talisman as a gift instead?]


    [¡­.I


    The shopkeeper replied with a full-stop, seemingly speechless.


    While Chen Mobai was secretly chastising the shopkeeper for his stinginess, the shopkeeper sent another message.


    [Okay.]


    This shopkeeper was indeed decent; he was good at dealing with unexpected requests.


    After happily completing his purchases, Chen Mobai found himself at a hot pot restaurant.


    As he walked in, he saw many classmates already seated in groups. As soon as he stepped in, Lu Hongsheng immediately waved him over. Seated around Lu were the beautiful girls who sat in front and behind him in class; along with several friends he was usually close to ¨C all of who were there.


    They were all good friends of Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Old Chen, heard from the class president that Yan Bingxuan will also be coming today.¡±


    As soon as he sat down, Chen Mobai heard a surprising piece of news.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she quit school already?¡±


    -She did but we still maintain the bond of being old classmates so the class president called her. Initially, she declined, but for some reason, she stated last night that she would be coming.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng quietly narrated the secret he¡¯d gotten from the class president. Chen Mobai remembered that Yan Bingxuan was refining her Ice Spirit Root. Wouldn¡¯t that make her the perfect person to consult about his issues with the Cold Ice Technique?


    Suddenly, Yan Bingxuan, the school beauty, walked in. After a quick look around the room, as if wondering where to sit, the class president, Mo Simin, greeted her and led her to a table of girls.


    ¡°See, didn¡¯t I say she was coming?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng indicated Yan Bingxuan, who had just sat down, feeling triumphant as if to flaunt that his information was correct.


    Ignoring him, Chen Mobai opened the class chat, found Yan Bingxuan¡¯s avatar, directly sent her a private message, editing the difficulty he had with his Cold Ice Technique into words and sending it.


    Then he put down his phone.


    After a while, Yan Bingxuan looked up and their gazes met. Chen Mobai nodded his head indicating it was him.


    [My written expression is limited, so I can¡¯t use words to explain it to you. After we finish eating, if you have time, 1 can provide you with a physical experience of my Ice Spirit Power.]


    Upon seeing her reply, Chen Mobai strongly felt the warmth of friendships between classmates.

    just then, another group of youthful boys and girls entered the restaurant. From inquiring, they learned that they were high school seniors who had just finished their college entrance exams and were here for a farewell meal.


    ¡°Wow, Old Chen, look. She is so pretty!¡±


    Watching Xianmen website, Chen Mobai was finally drawn away by a holler from Lu Hongsheng. He looked up at the entrance and saw something surprising.


    ¡°What a coincidence!¡±


    Qing Nu, who had just walked through the door, had removed her mask and hat. Her stunning beauty attracted everyone¡¯s attention in the room. Seeing Chen Mobai, she hesitated for a moment and then walked over to greet him..

 Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Scum Man_l

    Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Scum Man_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Chen Mobai started to feel restless.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s quite a coincidence. Your class also came here for the farewell


    dinner.¡±


    At these words, the Qing Women burst into laughter.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk after eating, I am heading upstairs.


    The students from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen had reserved private rooms on the second floor. The Qing Women intended to turn around and go upstairs after greeting Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ve arranged to meet someone after I finish eating. I¡¯m a bit busy, let¡¯s


    arrange some other time.¡±


    Recalling his arrangement with Yan Bingxuan to discuss the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, Chen Mobai rejected Qing Women¡¯s invitation to talk after eating.


    His response left everyone in the room stunned, including Qing Women. She understood Chen Mobai¡¯s personality ¨C casual in his words when dealing with things he didn¡¯t really care about, so she could only shrug helplessly.


    ¡°Alright then, call me when you¡¯re free.¡±


    Chen Mobai had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, so the


    Rank-1 intermediate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was ineffective for him Therefore lately, Qing Women had been refining the upper-grade version. But due to lack of experience, she failed many times. However, yesterday she had been lucky and made a successful batch with the assistance of Spiritual Extract. So, she wanted to celebrate at a fish restaurant with her supplicant.


    In fact, she wished to taste the fish Chen Mobai had brought from the Water Mansion as its taste was something hard to forget.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll invite you later.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he would be preoccupied with practicing the Cold Ice Technique and honing his magic duel skills in Yun Meng Ze in the upcoming period, or selling items to earn Spirit Stones, so he might not have the spare time to return to the Water Mansion. That¡¯s why he postponed meeting with the Qing Women.


    Hiss!


    The irritating remarks made Lu Hongsheng gasp. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Mobai in disbelief, like he was meeting him for the first time, repeatedly glancing back and forth between Qing Women and Chen Mobai.


    Not only him, the adolescent boys and girls from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen who came along with Qing Women also clenched their fists involuntarily, staring coldly at Chen Mobai, who was playing with his phone after finishing his conversation.


    ¡°Qing Women, is he your friend?¡±


    An elegant boy came over. Dressed in white Chinese-style clothes and holding a sharp posture, he appeared extraordinary.


    ¡°Uh, yes, he¡¯s my¡­¡±


    At this point, Qing Women felt she had chosen an inappropriate time to greet Chen Mobai. If she said he was her supplicant, it could lead to misunderstandings. But referring to him just as a friend could seem insincere.


    For a moment, she didn¡¯t know how to introduce him.


    ¡°Well, we¡¯re friends with a very good relationship.


    At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up to defuse the awkwardness. He looked up from his phone and met eyes with the elegant boy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, I am Gong Xiangyu, the class president and a comrade of


    Qing Women.¡±


    As he finished his introduction, Chen Mobai¡¯s classmates couldn¡¯t help but turn their gazes towards him.


    This name was famous in high schools all over Red Sandstone City.


    As a top-ranked student and a super genius in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he was adjudged the most promising candidate to enter any of the four Daoist Academies in the last decade, a real path seed.


    ¡°Wait, she¡¯s¡­ Qing Women!¡±


    However, at this moment, Pu Jiangxue, the pretty girl sitting next to Chen Mobai blurted out when she picked out a more critical name. She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the gorgeous girl standing before her.


    At her outcry, over half of the remaining classmates came back to their senses!


    ¡°Qing Women? Do you all know her?¡±


    Not everyone knew the name of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lu Hongsheng was a little confused, thinking that Chen Mobai¡¯s girlfriend was somebody everyone in the class knew already.


    ¡°Blockhead, she is the Heavenly Spiritual Root beneficiary who got a direct offer to Jumang Daoist Academy!¡±


    Yu Shu, who was sitting next to Lu Hongsheng, couldn¡¯t help but give him a nudge and told him about Qing Women¡¯s background.


    All the rest who didn¡¯t know about Qing Women gasped as one!


    All eyes turned towards the girl standing in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I am Chen Mobai!¡±


    Since Gong Xiangyu did make the introduction, Chen Mobai stood up. Under the gaze of all his classmates, he shook hands with the elegant boy.


    ¡°Hope to see you in the entrance exam for the Daoist Academies.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu said slightly prickly.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied.


    And then they returned to their respective tasks.


    Qing Women put her hands together and looked at Chen Mobai apologetically, then followed her classmates upstairs.


    When they left, a stir arose among the remaining people in the class.


    ¡°Damn, Chen, you kept us in the dark big time!¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was the first to speak, accusing Chen Mobai of hiding such big news as getting a girlfriend from him, a friend of three years.


    ¡°We¡¯re just close friends, it hasn¡¯t progressed to that point yet.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately rebutted. His relationship with Qing Women was indeed just at the level of friendship.


    People like Lu Hongsheng who created a ruckus caused once jovial friends to feel awkward. Chen Mobai had a good partnership with Qing Women and wouldn¡¯t want it to be misunderstood.


    His true words, however, found no believers. All his classmates looked at him with envy and jealousy, thinking that Chen Mobai was showing off subtly.


    Thus, this farewell dinner began with the eyes of everyone filled with envy towards Chen Mobai.


    in the end, he could take it no longer and left early after paying his share to the class monitor.


    ¡°I also have something to do, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Yan Bingxuan also stood up to leave.


    But the other classmates didn¡¯t connect her with Chen Mobai. After all, they thought that with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Qing Women in his life now, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t bother with other girls.


    ¡°Sorry about the trouble.¡±


    At the exit of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Mobai greeted Yan Bingxuan with some embarrassment.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I didn¡¯t really want to attend this kind of occasion anyway. My teacher told me to experience these emotions before going to the Nature Studies Academy. He said that they provide a valuable emotional foundation for the future. That¡¯s why I bothered coming here.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded carelessly, pointed to a milk tea shop across the road, and suggested going there to chat in detail.


    ¡°Let¡¯s change the place. In case classmates see us two sitting together, there¡¯ll be more rumors.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and said something that surprised Yan Bingxuan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You¡¯re afraid it will reach the ears of that Heavenly Spiritual Root girl.


    ¡°Not at all, you misunderstood. I am worried about affecting your reputation.¡± Chen Mobai laughed it off. Yan Bingxuan agreed sideways at his joke.


    Both of them left the hot pot restaurant together.


    From the second floor private room, Gong Xiangyu, who happened to be opening a window, saw all this. A description of Chen Mobai came to his mind:


    ¡°Scum..¡±

 Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Acting Method_l

    Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Acting Method_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Did you feel it?¡±


    Inside a cafe, Yan Bingxuan withdrew the finger she had used to take Chen Mobai¡¯s pulse. He was shivering, quickly picking up the steaming coffee on the table and downing it in one gulp.


    Then he exhaled deeply.


    ¡°Is this your Ice Spirit Power?¡±


    Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looking at the veins on his wrist that were faintly turning green. The right arm was still numb with cold. He couldn¡¯t help but study the nearly transparent, fair-skinned beauty before him. Was she constantly circulating this Ice Spirit Power within her meridians without feeling cold?


    ¡°The ¡®Frost Condensation Technique¡¯, a Spiritual Root enhancement method, will strengthen the meridians.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan noticed the puzzlement in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, and calmly answered his question.¡±Among the three essentials for Foundation Establishment, the function of the Vein Protection Pill is to protect the meridians from being tom apart under the impact of powerful Spiritual Power. As for me, I cultivate the Frost Condensation Technique to purify and transform my Spiritual Root into an Ice Spirit Root. Although it wastes many years, it allows my meridians to withstand the impact of liquefied Spiritual Power at the Foundation Establishment level without the need for a Vein Protection Pill.¡±


    Chen Mobai had not known this. In other words, even though the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots causes a cultivator to lie low for ten to twenty years in the early stage, it also lays a solid foundation for advancing to higher realms in the future.


    ¡°Do the other Spiritual Root Techniques also have this effect?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded and shook her head.


    ¡°Most of them do. Generally, the techniques needed to transform into Different Spiritual Roots need to strengthen the meridians. The rest of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots don¡¯t require this function much because they are single attribute roots, and the body naturally possesses the Five Elements.¡± ¡°Heavenly Spiritual Roots, truly blessed!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. According to the statistics of the Imperial Medical Academy, as long as cultivators with Different Spiritual Roots practice corresponding Cultivation Techniques, they basically have a sure chance of achieving Foundation Establishment. However, if they want to achieve Core Formation, it still requires opportunity and personal aptitude.


    Even if those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots do nothing but sit in their cave dwelling and cultivate all day, they still have a fifty percent chance of reaching Core Formation. Combined with the assistance of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine from the immortal world, Heavenly Spiritual Roots have a sixty to seventy percent chance of reaching Core Formation.


    When it comes to the stage of Nascent Soul Formation, Heavenly Spiritual Roots are actually less advantageous than ordinary Spiritual Root Cultivators who progress step by step.


    This is probably because they have it too easy in the early stages, lacking in tempering, and thus, they tend to succumb during the Heart Demon Tribulation.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean I¡¯ll never be able to master the ¡®Art of Ice¡¯?¡±


    If Chen Mobai were to practice this technique, he would first need to strengthen his meridians. Where would he get the time for that!


    ¡°Let me see!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan picked up her own mobile phone, read the full text of the ¡°Art of Ice¡± that Chen Mobai had sent her and seriously compared it with her own ¡°Xuan Bing Jue¡±, speculating on the ¡°Ice Breath¡± written in a very vague manner and explaining her understanding.


    However, her ability to express in words was indeed average, and Chen Mobai did not quite understand.


    ¡°Let me give you a practical demonstration.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan saw that there was a ¡®Cultivation Gym¡¯ right across from the coffee shop and suggested going there as it was a suitable place to personally demonstrate the Art of Ice to him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately packed two cups of scorching hot latte, hoping to avoid the feeling of his arm becoming stiff from the cold when he experienced the Ice Spirit Power again.


    In the Cultivation Gym, under Yan Bingxuan¡¯s guidance, he booked a Spells Chamber for two hours. As someone who never visited such places, Chen Mobai felt it a bit pricey when he saw the bill of 138 Good Deed Points.


    The Spells Chamber is a standalone room designed specifically for spell practice, with targets on all four walls and sturdy prohibitions set up, making it hard to destruct.


    Yan Bingxuan walked in and adeptly put on her protective gear. She then opened a bottle of complimentary mineral water provided in the room and sprayed it into the air.


    Whoosh!


    With a light breath from Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai standing beside her felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn¡¯t help but circulate his Spiritual Power to warm up.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    At that moment, the sound of water freezing could be heard.


    Under the gaze of Chen Mobai¡¯s wide eyes, Yan Bingxuan lightly flicked her hand. The water she had thrown into the air turned into a circle of ice spikes at her breath and fell clinking around them. They perfectly formed a circle of two meters in diameter with an icy landscape of ups and downs.


    ¡°You got it just by watching once?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt disheartened. He had been practicing this Art of Ice for almost half a month now and yet had made no progress. Meanwhile, Yan Bingxuan, who had only seen it today and hadn¡¯t even practiced, seemingly mastered it at once and even succeeded on the first try.


    ¡°This is not your ¡®Art of Ice¡¯, it¡¯s the ¡®Xuan Bing Jue¡¯ that I practice, but the principle is the same.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel slightly better. Otherwise, the little confidence he had built up after struggling to break through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation would have been destroyed.


    ¡°What I just performed was the Ten Changes Technique from your Art of Ice¡¯s ¡®Ice Breath¡¯. Now I will execute it with my own Xuan Bing Jue, watch carefully.¡±


    At this point, Yan Bingxuan again opened another bottle of mineral water over her head. As the water splattered everywhere, it was as if it was in an extremely cold cave at several tens of degrees below zero. It instantly froze into the shape of a large ice flower.


    Chen Mobai reached out to touch it, but with a ¡°Ping Pong¡± sound, Yan Bingxuan took a step back and the ice flower fell onto the floor, breaking into hundreds of ice pieces.


    ¡°Did you notice the difference?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the execution is much faster when you use the Xuan Bing Jue. The Art of Ice has an additional process of breathing out.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been observing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s movements with his Divine Sense all the while. Keeping his full concentration, he naturally noticed the difference in the two instances of executing the Xuan Bing Jue.


    ¡°The Xuan Bing Jue¡¯s complementary Ten Changes Technique is to give water a thousand variations and then shape it into various forms using ice, which is the same as the core of your Art of Ice.¡±


    ¡°The only difference is that I have already completed the refinement of the Ice Spirit Power inside my body. So, my Spiritual Power can shape the flowing water the moment it touches it. Your Art of Ice tries to mimic the Ice Spirit Power, but your body, Dantian, and meridians cannot withstand the coldness of the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you need to convert the Five Elements Spiritual Power into Ice Spirit Power at the Twelve-Fold Pavilion.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°However, your Twelve-Fold Pavilion also cannot withstand the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you have to breathe out this Ice Breath at the delicate moment of becoming and not becoming. In this way, you can complete the conversion into Ice Spirit Power at the very moment you exhale. This wouldn¡¯t harm your body and you will be able to shape water using normal Spiritual Power.¡±


    ¡°This technique is quite interesting. It almost exactly mirrors the intention of my transformation of Gold Water Spiritual Roots into Ice Spirit Roots. However, the creator must have only used it for magic duels, which narrows its scope.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan finished speaking, Chen Mobai sincerely thanked her.


    Indeed, a word from a mentor is worth a month¡¯s study.


    Her practical demonstration and unreserved sharing of her understanding completely enlightened Chen Mobai, who was previously confused about the ¡°Ice Breath¡±..

 Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 76 True Monarch of the First Element_l

    Chapter 76: Chapter 76 True Monarch of the First Element_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After Yan Bingxuan finished demonstrating the spell, she casually took a cup of coffee and left.


    Chen Mobai walked her to the door of the Cultivation Gymnasium, and thinking the two hours shouldn¡¯t be wasted, he returned to the ¡°Spells Chamber¡±. Following her instructional points, he started practicing the Cold Ice Technique.


    Thanks to Yan Bingxuan¡¯s transferred Spiritual Power and personal experience, he had figured out how to transform his Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power into Ice Spirit Power. The only issue now was to capture that split second when the Ice Spirit Power takes form.


    Even though he understood the trick, it would still require continuous and tireless practice to be able to spit out an Ice Breath at the exact moment when it has or hasn¡¯t formed.


    Releasing it too quickly would result in frostbite to the twelve-story building, releasing it too slowly wouldn¡¯t produce the intended freezing effect.


    After more than an hour of hard practice, Chen Mobai returned home, feeling his throat raspy and hoarse, almost unable to speak a word.


    He bought a dozen bottles of pear syrup from a big pharmacy on the way home, and once home, drank half a bottle with warm water. By the next day, his throat finally felt a bit better.


    Stepping out, he indeed found a huge package waiting for him.


    The Shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman store had sent it via express delivery within the same city. Upon opening it, Chen Mobai saw four or five hundred talismans sorted by various types and meticulously placed in clear plastic boxes. He couldn¡¯t help but admire the shopkeeper¡¯s careful handling. He placed the lower and intermediate-grade talismans in his backpack, then carefully put the eleven Rank-1 high-grade talismans in the inner chest pocket of his retro-styled costume.


    Finally, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the only talisman sealed in plastic.


    Rank-2 lower grade, Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman!


    Just this talisman alone cost him 50,000 Good Deed Points, the most expensive thing he has ever bought since becoming rich.


    He opened the user guide that the shopkeeper had included as a gift, carefully reading every word.


    The way the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± was activated was no different from ordinary talismans, it just consumed a little more spiritual power for Qi Practitioners. The shopkeeper had done some experiments, revealing that a Rank-7 Qi practitioner firing up this talisman would approximately drain nearly half of their inner spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai already knew this, as it was mentioned in the product description.


    Just to be on the safe side, he also bought five Resurrection Talismans so he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about running out of spiritual power during a Magic Duel and become vulnerable.


    After carefully putting the plastic sealed ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± in his sleeve pocket, Chen Mobai¡¯s sense of security greatly improved.


    He called his mother, telling her that he had got a monthly pass at the Cultivation Gymnasium, and that he would be spending a lot of time there training in spells with other progressive students.


    Tang Panchui knew that the Daoist Academy¡¯s entrance exam this year was a Magic Duel, naturally, she strongly supported her son¡¯s decision and transferred 1000 Good Deed Points to him, telling him not to keep a tight rein on this.


    Chen Mobai promptly refused, knowing that the family was currently on a tight budget. He told his mother that the gym membership covered food and lodging as well as bathing, and there was no need for additional Good Deed Points expenditure.


    With everything ready, he teleported himself to the Tianhe Realm along with his backpack full of talismans and spiritual medicine.


    As the silvery light flickered, Chen Mobai opened his eyes to see the familiar wooden walls surrounding him and he let out a relief sigh.


    As expected, the Turtle Treasure operated just as he had previously tested, teleporting would anchor to the last departure point. Although the rules were simple, this was the first time Chen Mobai had teleported back from a crowded place. He was a little nervous, afraid he might attract attention.


    Chen Mobai stepped outside to look around and found that he was still the only resident in this inexpensive low-lying feng shui treasure land. His worries were eased.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai practiced the Cold Ice Technique, sold charms on Green Light Island, and inquired about which monsters in the Yun Meng Ze were best suited for him to practice combat on.


    Thanks to the cultivators¡¯ appraisal abilities for charms here, his business was thriving.


    Rank-1 lower-grade talismans, which are sold for 200 gold in the Southstream Market, could be sold for 300 here; Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow and Wood Armor Talismans could also be sold for 2000 gold here.


    As for higher-grade talismans of Rank-1, he temporarily had no intention of selling them.


    After all, doing too good of a business had already attracted some attention from his peers in the market. He planned to first grow his business in the lower and mid-level market. These talismans were traded with gold, which most of the well-connected Qi Practitioners hardly bothered earning due to their small profit margins.


    While running his stand, Chen Mobai wrote down the name and price of each talisman on a piece of cloth and placed it in front of him as he sat on a small wooden stool. When customers came to ask for the price, he simply pointed at the cloth and then gestured at his own throat, coughing twice, indicating that he had lost his voice due to an injured throat.


    In this way, he drank pear syrup to treat his frozen throat while reading the book ¡°Chronicle of Dragon Suppression in Yun Meng River by the True Monarch of Origin¡± that Lu Shu had given him.


    This tiny book was specially made to kill time.


    It was about the last Cultivator in Tianhe Realm who ascended to the Upper Realm in the last ten thousand years, ¡°True Monarch of the Origin¡±, who reached perfection in the process of Spirit Transformation.


    The calendar of the Immortal Cultivation world in the Tianhe Realm is currently based on ¡°the Era of the Origin¡±.


    The year when the True Monarch of the Origin ascended was taken as the first year of the Era of the Origin, which was exactly 64.78 years from now. Before this True Monarch, the Yun Meng Ze was not the thousands of water ponds as it is now, but continuous mountains, which were known as ¡°Yun Meng River¡±, nearly a Rank-6 Spiritual Land.


    Back then, a Rank-5 monster, a Yellow Dragon, occupied the Yun Meng River. This monster not only possessed the bloodline of the real dragon but was also of the Deity Transformation Level. Even Deity Transcending Cultivators of the same realm would often be defeated by it.


    While practicing Qi Cultivation, the True Monarch of the Origin once practiced in Yun Meng River. He witnessed the human beings here being enslaved and abused by the monsters, became enraged, and fought back, but was heavily wounded and lucky enough to fall into the ruins left by the ancient cultivators, where he found a great opportunity.


    One thousand years later, after achieving Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, the True Monarch of the Origin single-handedly charged into the Yun Meng River before his Ascendance.


    After slaying eighteen Rank-4 Nascent Soul Level monsters, he engaged in a seven-day-and-night battle with the Yellow Dragon Monster, which shattered the Yun Meng River into thousands of water ponds. He then exhausted a great amount of Elemental Energy to use a heaven-defying Immortal Technique to subdue this Rank-5 monster, and finally rode the dragon to ascend.


    The small book Lu Shu gave to Chen Mobai narrated this story.


    Having finished reading it, Chen Mobai was left with one thought.

    He absolutely could not let Tianhe Realm know about the existence of the earth element star.


    Although several Deity Transcending ancestors had emerged in the history of Earth¡¯s Element Star, none of them had a detailed record of ascending. At most, they reached the pinnacle of their cultivation and went to explore the boundless Vast Starry Sky.


    In comparison, although there were two Deity Transcending ancestors in the School of Immortal Cultivation, the overall strength of School of Immortal Cultivation might not be as good as Tianhe Realm.


    Unfortunately, the market lacked books introducing the Immortal Cultivation world outside of the Eastern Wilderness. It was said that only the seven major sects and large trade unions had such books. Chen Mobai could only lament that the transmission of information in this world was far too backward.


    If this were the Earth¡¯s Elemental Star, he could know how high the sky was, how thick the earth was, and how many territorial areas there were in the School of Immortal Cultivation with a click of his fingers..

    Inside the wooden cabin.


    Chen Mobai flicked the bowl in his hand, and the clear water inside immediately spilled out. Then he exhaled, and a stream of air, which glowed white the moment it left his mouth, came out.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    The sound of freezing water echoed in his ears. Chen Mobai watched the frozen droplets in front of him, swallowing back the pain in his throat, and reached out to catch the ice flower he had so painstakingly formed.


    The icy touch made his palm turn red, but his mood was unprecedently joyful.


    After seven days, he¡¯d finally mastered the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±.


    Actually, he had already succeeded once three days ago. But it wasn¡¯t until now that he could succeed 100% of the time and fully control the subtle moment of the forming and not forming ¡°Ice Breath¡±.


    He crushed the ice flower in his hand and then laughed happily.


    He had never felt such a sense of achievement as he did when mastering the


    ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±.


    After laughing, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. It was caused by his excessive use of his Divine Sense over the past few days, constantly monitoring the process of refining the Ice Breath through his twelve floors.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forcibly rally his spirits. He finished the last bottle of pear syrup on the table and went to sleep on the wooden bed.


    When he woke up, it was already the next afternoon.


    However, after a thorough rest, Chen Mobai felt in better shape than ever before, not just his Divine Sense, but also his Qi Cultivation at the seventh level had improved.


    He pulled his backpack from under the pillow, opened it, and saw the 25 Spirit


    Stones inside glowing brilliantly, making him smile.


    Over the course of seven days, Chen Mobai had virtually sold out all the low- and mid-grade charms he had sourced from Di Yuanxing while practicing the Cold Ice Technique. He had converted all the gold he earned into these Spirit Stones at the silver shop opened by the Shenmu Sect on Green Light Island.


    In addition to these 25 Spirit Stones, the backpack also contained 30 medium and low-grade charms that he had kept for himself. After all, he was about to leave Green Light Island to go and hone his magic duel skills with demonic beasts. He couldn¡¯t afford to be extravagant and use only Rank-1 top-grade charms in battle.


    After checking his equipment again, Chen Mobai meditated cross-legged on the bed all night until dawn, got up, left his wooden cabin, and headed to the dock.


    Since it was his first time in a magical duel against a demonic beast, he had no experience himself, so he wisely signed up for a group.


    Whilst selling charms, he also learned about the situation on Green Light island, and found out that the Divine Wood Sect has a sect mission to help new disciples adapt to Yun Meng Ze. Those senior disciples who accept this mission, in order to maximize their benefits during a trip, would take along new Loose Cultivators while leading the new disciples for practice.


    Chen Mobai always played it safe and cautious. Upon getting this news, he even thoroughly compared those senior disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who were specialized in such tasks and decided on one with a medium reputation.


    ¡°Brother Qi Hou, I¡¯m late.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he was early, but the disciple of the Divine Wood Sect was even earlier.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯re not late.¡±


    Qi Hou is a man of few words. He stands tall and thin on a Spirit Boat, his eyes are bright, and he¡¯s dressed in a black robe.


    This Spirit Boat is also a Magic Artifact, which can travel hundreds of miles with just one Spirit Stone. It¡¯s not slow and could save the Spiritual Power of a Qi Practitioner while hurrying on a journey.


    Apart from Chen Mobai, there is also a delicate-looking young man wearing the Shenmu Sect uniform sitting in the Spirit Boat. He is looking down at a roll of maps. This must be the new disciple Qi Hou is taking along this time.


    After greeting Qi Hou, Chen Mobai paid a fee of two Spirit Stones. Qi Hou swiftly took them, then pointed to a spot on the left side of the Spirit Boat and handed Chen Mobai a similar map.


    -This is the Demonic Beast we¡¯re hunting today, the Black Armored Turtle. This beast¡¯s strength lies mainly in its defense, and it doesn¡¯t have many offensive abilities. It¡¯s ideal for new Loose Cultivators and disciples like you.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement and began to look at the carefully prepared map.


    After a while, two more Loose Cultivators arrived. They seemed to be siblings, looking somewhat alike. The man was named Ba Jiang and the woman Ba Xing. After they handed over the Spirit Stones, the team was complete.


    Qi Hou immediately activated the Spirit Boat and, with a quiet hiss, they left the harbor of Green Light Island.


    ¡°Fellow travelers, please take care.¡±


    Ba Jiang was a simple-looking youth from a Cultivator family in Ba Country. He had a bit of a reputation in his home town, and with his younger sister, he had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation at a young age. A rare talent indeed.


    This time, he set out with his sister to seek means of advancing to the later stages of Qj Cultivation and to gain experience in the Holy Land, Yun Meng Ze, in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The delicate disciple from the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t seem to want to mingle, keeping his gaze down on the map without saying a word.


    Chen Mobai immediately picked up the conversation thread. After exchanging a few niceties, the awkward silence that would have followed Ba Jiang was avoided. Everyone was relatively quiet, including the team leader, Qi Hou. The Spirit Boat became silent quite soon.


    They reached the island where the Black Armored Turtles resided.


    ¡°There are a total of seven. I¡¯ll deal with the strongest two. You, Disciple Xi, pick one to practice with, and the remaining four can be handled by you three. I¡¯ll intervene if there¡¯s any danger.¡±


    After Qi Hou withdrew the Spirit Boat, the five people landed on the shore. Two large turtles lying on the beach poked out their heads, their crimson eyes staring coldly at the team.


    ¡°The other five are in the water. Off you go.


    While Qi Hou was speaking, he clutched a talisman and injected it with Spiritual Power. Instantly, two large fireballs soared into the air, smashing into the two large turtles.


    The elegant disciple from the Divine Wood Sect, although not talkative, reacted very swiftly. Upon tapping his waist, a green wooden sword flew out. It cut towards a Black Armored Turtle that had just emerged from the water with a cold glint.


    Chen Mobai noticed that this young man named Xi seemed less proficient than himself.


    However, he quickly focused his attention on the four Black Armored Turtles that surfaced from the water. Ba Jiang and Ba Xing, cunning as they were, each picked one to confront, leaving Chen Mobai to face two alone.


    Murmuring a curse in his heart, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t actually come with the expectation of a leisurely experience. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to call for Qi Hou¡¯s help either.


    First he took a handful of talismans. Then, he opened his Divine Sense. The bottle tip in his sleeve opened, and the Dark Water Shield activated. The Spiritual Power from his Dantian surged to the twelfth layer, and his Cold Ice Technique began to stir ¡­


    By evening, when they returned to Green Light Island, Chen Mobai bid farewell to the group disembarking from the Spirit Boat.

    The young disciple surnamed Xi, with his head down as usual, didn¡¯t even say goodbye. Tying the bodies of the seven Black Armored Turtles with a wooden talisman, he left with Qi Hou. The spoils from the hunt were for both of them, forming part of a mission for the Divine Wood Sect.


    Qi Hou must have made quite a sum of Spirit Stones and Sect contributions from this trip.


    Ba Jiang wanted to invite Chen Mobai for a drink, seemingly wanting to befriend him. But, seeing as Chen Mobai was eager to find another Divine Wood Sect group to join, he politely declined.


    In the following ten days, Chen Mobai alternated between resting and joining groups.


    Gradually, he progressed from his initial clumsiness, hasty use of talismans, and slow spells to a much more proficient state of magic use..

 Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Black Plague Bird_l

    Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Black Plague Bird_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Above the lagoon.


    Large black birds opened their gaping mouths, spewing out gushes of wind that transformed into an onslaught of arrows.


    Chen Mobai immediately crouched in the Spirit Boat, activating two Rank-1 lower-grade Wooden Shield charms he held in his hands. Two green protective shells appeared, encapsulating his upper body.


    Accompanied by persistent thuds, the first Wooden Shield charm quickly expended its energy, the second one didn¡¯t last much longer. However, at this point, the major onslaught of wind arrows had been blocked.


    Breaking past the two layers of Wood Escape defense, only three ¡°arrow- remained, heading towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head. His ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± sprung into action, forming three water ripples that blocked the forward path of the wind arrows.


    ¡°Are you guys ready yet?¡±


    Chen Mobai pulled out another two talismans from his pocket while asking this to his companions behind him.


    ¡°We¡¯re ready!¡±


    The voice of Qi Hou rang out, immediately followed by a burst of scorching heat from behind Chen Mobai. A streak of crimson Sword Light shot up into the sky, swooping across the dozen or so large blackbirds above the lagoon.


    Squawk!


    Accompanied by shrieks of the birds, the leading bird was cleaved in two by Qi Hou¡¯s crimson Sword Light. The remaining birds scattered in all directions without a leader, however, some were quickly slaughtered by Ba Jiang and the others who were lying in wait.


    ¡°The meat of these Black Plague Birds is not tasty and won¡¯t fetch a good price


    in the Fang Market.¡±


    Qi Hou looked at the talisman in his hand that was turning into ashes, then glanced at the bird corpses floating on the lagoon, a pained expression on his face.


    This Rank-1 top-grade ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± was worth 8 Spirit Stones. Leading newbies had resulted in a loss this time.


    However, he didn¡¯t dare to complain. After all, such business often balances between profit and loss.


    -There are people who buy bird feathers and they can sell for some gold.¡± Seeing the expression on Qi Hou¡¯s face, Ba Xing, who was perceptive, quickly chimed in. No sooner had her words left her mouth, than a fellow disciple by the name of Xi gave her a stem look ¨C he was the one expected to do the job of plucking feathers.


    ¡°No need, it¡¯s not worth the time.¡±


    However, Qi Hou quickly accepted the situation. Once again, he brought out a Spirit Stone and placed it inside the Spirit Boat, motioning for Chen Mobai and the others to leave.


    The Black Plague Birds always moved in groups, with the largest ones reportedly as high as Rank-2.


    Having now killed a group, some of which had escaped, they feared that several groups may return to take vengeance. Drawing on his rich experience, Qi Hou promptly made the team leave the area after their actions.


    Before they left, Qi Hou insisted that they remove and toss away the jackets stained with bird¡¯s blood. It was by these scents that Black Plague Birds tracked down their enemies.


    Sure enough, shortly after their departure, a dark cloud of black birds arrived, circling non-stop around the area where they had killed the birds and ditched their jackets, causing gusty winds.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this to attract the king of these birds. We can¡¯t come to this place anymore.¡±


    Qi Hou used a long-distance viewing talisman to observe the situation and felt a strong, vicious Spiritual Machine that far surpassed his own. He frowned and marked an X on his map over this location.


    ¡ö¡öWe were fortunate to have Senior Brother Qi leading us. Otherwise, we would never have been able to escape from these Black Plague Birds.


    After taking a pill to restore his Spiritual Power, Ba Jiang stood up and thanked


    Qi Hou.


    ¡°Each one takes what he needs.¡±


    But Qi Hou simply shook his head. He had chosen this location as a team leader. Having experienced different times before, this location was swarmed by some Water Serpent Bull demonic beasts at the most, which was an excellent place for newbies and Loose Cultivators to practice.


    Today, however, it was unexpectedly filled with a large flock of Black Plague Birds, including a Rank-2 king bird close by.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s newbie guidance task usually lasted a month.


    Chen Mobai had joined several teams before, however, he found Qi Hou to be the most reliable and thus decided to team up again. The Ba siblings also did the same. This was their third expedition as a five-member team and they had grown quite familiar with one another.


    ¡°Tomorrow, let¡¯s go hunt some Black Armored Turtles.


    Qi HOU spoke again. He was merely at the Qi Cultivation ninth level. Despite his self-confidence for competing in a Magic Duel with the same level because of his years of experience in hunting demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, facing a Rank-2 bird king which was equivalent to an Establishment Foundation level would be impossible to win, even if there were ten of him.


    He was leading newbies, it was certainly not a suicide mission. Therefore, he saw that this area was no longer safe and changed the plan promptly.


    ¡°Um, Brother Qi, I might need to isolate myself to make some talismans in the next few days.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up. He indicated that he had gained much from these few days along with Qi Hou, but he had run out of Spirit Stones, and thus, couldn¡¯t afford to continue teaming up.


    The Ba siblings were taken aback. Although they weren¡¯t short on Spirit Stones at the moment, they didn¡¯t find the location where the Black Armored Turtles were hunted appealing after one experience. They also sought an excuse and decided not to team up anymore.


    Qi Hou heard this and didn¡¯t show any signs of anger.


    ¡°Looking at your talismans, they are all inclined towards the wood attribute, do you plan to join our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    The disciple named Xi, who had always ignored them, suddenly asked.


    ¡°I do plan to do so.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.


    ¡°Your name is Chen Guixian, right? I¡¯ll remember you.¡±


    Disciple Xi lifted his head, gave Chen Mobai a serious look and nodded as though giving approval.


    ¡°With your talent, it should be no problem for you to join our Divine Wood Sect. Maybe you¡¯ll be my fellow disciples in the future. It¡¯s good to get acquainted earlier.¡±


    The words of Qi Hou surprised the Ba siblings. They knew the requirements of Divine Wood Sect for recruiting Loose Cultivators: one shouldn¡¯t be older than 30 years old and must be at least Qi Cultivation seventh level. Although they had teamed up several times in the past few days, Chen Mobai had never disclosed his realm.


    They had thought he was at the maximum of the Qi Cultivation sixth level, just like themselves.


    However, his conduct in blocking the Black Plague Birds today had revealed his true realm to Qi Hou. Without the development of the Divine Sense, it would be impossible to evolve from a person who was flustered while fighting a Black Armored Turtle to someone who handled it with such ease today.


    ¡öBrother Chen, I never imagined that you were a Talisman Maker. No wonder you have an endless supply of talismans. Some of them we siblings never even seen before.¡±


    Learning about Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, Ba Jiang became even more courteous towards him.


    ¡°Oh, not at all. I¡¯m just interested in this field.¡±

    After landing on the island, Qi Hou and his junior disciple left early. Chen Mobai exchanged a few pleasantries with the Ba siblings, gently declined their invitation to a meal, and returned to his wooden house.


    ¡°Without realizing it, I have been here for twenty days.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the ordinary ink-colored robe he had bought on Green Light Island and couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    His ancient-style suit had worn out in battle a long time ago. Although life in the Tianhe Realm was hard, he became addicted to the daily feeling of self-improvement.


    If it weren¡¯t for today being the day of the college entrance examination results, he would have almost forgotten to return to Earth..

 Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Best in the Whole School 1

    Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Best in the Whole School 1


    Translator: 549690339                        ¡ª


    [Chen Mobai, 345 points]


    After struggling to check his score for quite a while, the rare visitor Chen Xinglan burst into laughter.


    Son, with this score, you¡¯re sure to secure a place in one of the top ten academies.¡±


    ¡°Blessed by our ancestors, I am going back to my hometown tomorrow to burn incense for them.¡±


    The elated Tang Panchui couldn¡¯t help but shed a few tears. Neither in the history of the Chen family nor her family, had anyone managed to secure admission into the top ten academies. Chen Mobai¡¯s score was heralding an entirely unprecedented honour for both families.


    Returning to her hometown, she can hold her head high with confidence.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, five more points would have been even better.¡±


    In reality, Chen Mobai initially expected score was around 330 points. He got lucky on the last major question on the formation paper and gained an extra 15 points.


    However, it¡¯s in human nature to be insatiable. Once the chance of admission to the top ten academies set in, he found himself wishing that the four great Daoist academies would expand their enrollment and lower the admission score threshold this year.


    ¡°Alright, alright. Son, have you decided which academy you want to go to?¡± Chen Xinglan, ecstatically brandishing the printed score sheet, started inquiring about Chen Mobai¡¯s plans.


    ¡°I¡¯m thinking about the Pure Yang Academy or the Primordial Elemental Academy since these two don¡¯t have any particular requirements for the spiritual root aptitude and they have the heritage of the Original Soul Technique.¡±


    ¡°Great ambition, you truly are my son.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Xinglan couldn¡¯t help but pat Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder, grinning broadly.


    ¡°However, these two academies get the most applications each year, there¡¯s a chance that the cut-off scores might be higher.¡±


    Upon hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s high score of 345 points that evening, his uncle¡¯s family came over to celebrate and stayed for dinner. Unfortunately, Chen Baolan couldn¡¯t make it as she was in a crucial stage of excavating a ruin. She could only congratulate him through a video call.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My son¡¯s score is nearing the threshold for the four great Daoist Academies. Even if the cut-off scores for the Primordial Elemental Academy and Pure Yang Academy are higher, they¡¯ll surely admit him.¡±


    Chen Xinglan had checked the previous cut-off scores for these two academies which were generally above 340. With this year¡¯s expanded intake, Chen Mobai¡¯s score could be said to have safely secured his admission.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so amazing!¡±


    Wang Xinymg looked at him with admiring eyes. Chen Mobai, usually quite composed, couldn¡¯t hold back the joy in his heart under his sister¡¯s gaze.


    That night, for the first time in his life, Chen Mobai felt a profound sense of fulfilment. He did not use the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± to dissolve his various emotions. Surrounded by the proud faces of his parents, the praises from his uncle and his wife, and the admiration in his sister¡¯s eyes, he reveled in his triumph.


    When he woke up the next day, he found that his divine consciousness had increased by nearly half.


    In his contemplative state, the seed that had just begun to germinate sprouted another shoot, gradually reaching the same level as the green paulownia seedling he nurtured in the Water Mansion.


    According to the testing of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±, his divine consciousness was nearing the level of an eighth level Qi Cultivation When the contemplation seedling blossoms its first flower, it would represent the divine consciousness of a fully cultivated Qi.


    When the flower bears fruit, it represents the breakthrough of the divine consciousness from Qi cultivation.


    After finishing his morning routine, he sent a message to Qing Nu, planning to meet in the afternoon, and then headed to school.


    As soon as he entered the classroom, he sensed something was off.


    Why were all the classmate¡¯s eyes on him? The boys looked at him with admiration while the girls regarded him with disdain.


    Could it be residual effects from the incident with Qing Nu last time? It shouldn¡¯t be, he had explained himself quite clearly.


    Old Chen, how have I treated you normally?¡±


    As soon as he sat down, Lu Hongsheng rushed over to the water cooler to fetch a cup of water for him, then looked at him with admiring eyes.


    ¡°Get to the point?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the water and drank, knowing that his desk-mate couldn¡¯t keep a secret.


    ¡°How are you two-timing!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hold it in and spat out all the water he had just sipped. Seeing that the back of the lovely Yu Shu¡¯s dress at the front desk was about to get wet, all the magic skills he had practiced in Yun Meng Ze came in handy. With a single hand, he performed the Water Controlling Technique, drawing the droplets back into the cup.


    ¡°That was a smooth move.¡±


    The classmates at the neighboring table couldn¡¯t help but widen their eyes and clap in amazement.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who is tarnishing my good name!¡±


    Chen Mobai turned red in the face and shouted at Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave early from our farewell dinner that day? Then Yan Bingxuan followed you out. We didn¡¯t really notice at first.¡±


    ¡°But later, when Gong Xiangyu took their classmates downstairs, he casually mentioned to Qing Nu that he saw you leaving with Yan Bingxuan upstairs Isn¡¯t that stirring up trouble? You should have seen the faces of our class and their class at that time, it was simply splendid!¡±


    ¡°But don¡¯t worry, the expression of your Heavenly Spiritual Root girlfriend was okay. She didn¡¯t look like she wanted to die or anything, but she has been frowning these past few days. She didn¡¯t bother you, right?¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai was more furious than ever.


    ¡°Nonsense! I¡¯ve said so many times that Qing Nu and I are just friends, and as for Yan Bingxuan, we maintain an entirely platonic schoolmates friendship.


    How can you imagine that I am two-timing?¡±


    At this point, even the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique couldn¡¯t calm the turbulent emotions in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    ¡°I get it, but I still want to learn from you about how to develop that kind of pure friendship with classmates.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was clearly clueless. Chen Mobai clenched his fists and managed to calm down after a while.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me this earlier?¡±


    ¡°I wanted to verify this with you, but you were not answering your phone these days.¡±


    That¡¯s right, for the past twenty days, Chen Mobai had been in Yun Meng Ze honing his skills and Lu Hongsheng¡¯s phone signal couldn¡¯t reach there.


    ¡°Well, I wonder if Yan Bingxuan knows about this. I should apologize to her later.¡±


    As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, the two beauties in front of him also turned back around. They evaluated him anew with the same gaze they might use on a scum.


    ¡°I heard that the class monitor called Yan Bingxuan when he found out.¡±


    Pu Jiangxue stated and Chen Mobai promptly looked at her.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan said: So it seems that this has affected my reputation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai heaved a sigh of exasperation.


    If it was going to be like this, he should have stayed in the milk tea shop across the street with peace of mind.


    ¡°Old Chen¡­¡±


    Not a few boys from his class gathered around him. Chen Mobai, who usually didn¡¯t attract many eyes, at this moment became a master in everyone¡¯s mind.


    Song Zheng sat at his desk, his eyes also on Chen Mobai. But what he saw was not merely the spectacular Water Controlling Technique, but more substantial underlying elements.

    Impressive!


    Knock knock knock!


    At this moment, the homeroom teacher knocked on the door, and all the boys around Chen Mobai returned to their seats.


    When Chai Deyun entered, his gaze fell on Chen Mobai as well. But when Chen Mobai thought the teacher was also going to bring up all the gossip, he showed a gratified smile instead and clapped his hands.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, congratulations! You got 345 points in the college entrance examination, number one in the whole school!¡±

 Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Training Camp_l

    Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Training Camp_l


    Translator: 549690339


    He¡¯S actually the first in the entire school.


    Upon hearing Chai Deyun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was taken aback for a moment. He knew that his score could rank among the top in the school, but he never expected it to take the first place outright.


    All he could say was that he guessed right on the last big question, which gained him a significant amount of points.


    After Chai Deyun finished speaking, all the classmates in the room opened their mouths wide in disbelief.


    In their impression, Chen Mobai was just an ordinary classmate who didn¡¯t like to talk much usually. It was only recently that he showed his talent in that area. But many people looked at him with doubtful eyes. After all, it was too astonishing and somewhat hard to accept.


    ¡°What realm are you in now?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng asked puzzledly, recalling the scene when Chen Mobai and Song


    Zheng walked in together that day.


    ¡°Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered truthfully. He had always been straightforward on Di


    Yuan Star.


    As soon as he said this, the skeptical eyes that were originally cast on him changed to understanding.


    Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, achieved Divine Sense, no wonder he managed to make a name for himself in such a short time.


    ¡°Did you already know?¡±


    Song Zheng¡¯s tablemate quietly asked him. The latter subconsciously nodded, but still thinking about the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± Chen Mobai demonstrated effortlessly earlier.


    ¡°This is the first piece of good news today.¡±


    After Chai Deyun announced that Chen Mobai was first in the entire school, he returned to the podium, feeling invigorated, and started enthusiastically encouraging the students to learn from Chen Mobai.


    However, halfway through his speech, he realized that after today, his students would be going their separate ways; they would no longer study here.


    ¡°Teacher, is there any other good news?¡±


    At this point, the class monitor raised his hand to ask, interrupting Chai


    Deyun¡¯s lament


    -The admission scores for the Top Ten Academies have already been released


    this year.¡±


    After answering, Chai Deyun turned on the projector and displayed the admission scores of the top ten academies on the large screen.


    As expected, the Primordial Elemental Academy and Pure Yang Academy have the highest scores. Even with expanded admission this year, they still require at least 340 points to pass. However, Chen Mobai has no problem at all. He can choose either of these two academies, as long as he can pass the upcoming Magic Duel entrance exam.


    ¡°What score did you get?¡±


    The screen of Song Zheng¡¯s mobile phone lit up. It was Chen Mobai asking his


    score.


    ¡°340 points.¡±


    ¡°Impressive, you got it right on the spot.


    Seeing this message, Song Zheng didn¡¯t know how to respond. He wasn¡¯t used to this kind of relaxed atmosphere and tone of conversation.


    -Did you do intensive training these days? I noticed your spell casting skills are much more proficient than before.¡±


    Indeed, their high school did have practical classes. However, during their class¡¯s spell practice lessons, Song Zheng always took the spotlight. He had observed the techniques of other people in the class. Although he had no impression of Chen Mobai, it meant that he found him quite ordinary, not worth noticing.


    just twenty days after the college entrance examination, could he improve so much?


    ¡°Yes, I attended a closed secret training camp and benefited a lot.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s answer intrigued Song Zheng greatly.


    Although he was very confident about his magic talent and had learned a powerful spell under the guidance of old man Ding the day before yesterday, he still wanted to improve further. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s earth-shattering changes, he also wanted to participate in the training.


    ¡°The training camp has already ended, I¡¯ll invite you the next time.¡±


    There was no way Chen Mobai could bring Song Zheng to the Tianhe Realm, so he had to avoid the question for now.


    ¡°And now, for the last piece of good news.¡±


    At this point, Chai Deyun at the podium shifted his gaze to Chen Mobai and


    Song Zheng, who were sneakily communicating via mobile. They instantly perceived his stare and looked up.


    ¡°The school has decided to establish a special training class to help eligible students score well on the entrance exam and bring honour to the school. We¡¯ll gather the best teachers, who will teach you their magic-duelling expertise.¡± Upon hearing this, all eyes in the class went to the three of them.


    In their class, apart from Chen Mobai and Song Zheng, only the class president Mo Simin scored 328, which, thanks to the increased intake of the top ten institutes, allows her to apply for the two institutes with the lowest score requirements.


    ¡°You surely didn¡¯t join the training class early, did you?¡±


    After hearing this, Song Zheng asked Chen Mobai with a puzzled look, to which the latter immediately responded with a ¡°No¡± face.


    He had just casually mentioned it, not expecting the school to actually form a training class and gather all the top students for training.


    This won¡¯t do. It would obstruct his monster hunting and levelling in the Tianhe Realm.


    It¡¯s not that Chen Mobai looked down on the teachers at school, but when it comes to duelling experience, Qi Hou from the Divine Wood Sect could probably defeat all the teachers at the Fifth High School of Xianmen on his own.


    ¡°Okay, fill in your preference forms now, everyone else. Chen Mobai and the other two shouldn¡¯t for now. The principal will use your preferences as reference when the training class is established.¡±


    Chai Deyun handed out the preference forms. Chen Mobai and Song Zheng glanced at each other and had no choice but to sit and watch others filling in their forms.


    ¡°Old Chen, do you think I can get into Chixia and Cinnabarite Institute?¡± Lu Hongsheng asked, looking distraught. His performance was not good, with a score of just 310.


    Last year, the admission scores for these two local institutes were 315 for Cinnabarite, slightly higher, and 312 for Chixia.


    No wonder Lu Hongsheng was so tom. As for this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. After all, it was a decision that would affect his life. It was better to let his desk mate make it himself.


    At this point, the beauties from the front and back desks came over, indirectly revealing their scores and preferences to Chen Mobai, hoping for his advice. Chen Mobai just shrugged, indicating his inability to help.


    However, this didn¡¯t stop them from starting a lively, chattering discussion around him. He had to admit, being surrounded by a group of pretty girls in their prime, left, right, front, and back was quite nice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave first, we shouldn¡¯t waste time here.


    Just then, Song Zheng came over abruptly and said this sentence to Chen Mobai. The others in the class froze upon hearing it.


    When had Song Zheng ever hung out with them?


    Even more shocking, he had taken the initiative to invite Chen Mobai to leave together.


    Was this the circle of Qi Cultivation 7th layer students? But why was Song Zheng always at odds with Yan Bingxuan?


    ¡°Teacher, can we go over there in advance?


    Chen Mobai, being the good student he was, raised his hand to ask Chai Deyun. The latter nodded, giving them the location of the training class.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    After saying these two words, Song Zheng cocked his head, indicating to Chen Mobai, who was still sitting. Chen Mobai said goodbye to the students around him, then stood up to leave with Song Zheng.


    ¡°Is our class president coming with us?¡±

    As they left the classroom, Chen Mobai seemed to remember something. He looked at Mo Simin, who was sitting at his desk, looking hesitant. She wanted to go with them, but she was afraid Song Zheng would mind.


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze turned to her, Mo Simin seemed to be brought out of the shadows into the light. She nodded quickly, then rushed to join them.


    ¡°Let me tell you, Yan Bingxuan will also attend this training class.


    Once Mo Simin arrived at Chen Mobai¡¯s right side, setting a person¡¯s distance from Song Zheng on the left, she regained her usual vivacity and shared a piece of news that they didn¡¯t know..

    ¡°Didn¡¯t she drop out? Why is she back?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could speak, Song Zheng was already unable to hold back.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Chen Mobai, you¡¯re close with her, why don¡¯t you ask her directly when the time comes.¡±


    Mo Simin shook her head. As the class president, she knew about the training camp a long time ago, but without knowing her grades, she wasn¡¯t sure that she could apply for the top ten academies, so she didn¡¯t announce anything.


    She and Yan Bingxuan got along well, they were desk mates in their senior year. Even after Yan Bingxuan dropped out, they still kept in touch regularly.


    Classroom 203!


    Chen Mobai looked at the numbers and confirmed the location which Chai Deyun mentioned, then walked in first.


    The room was empty.


    ¡°Just pick a seat.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally chose the seat in the back row by the window, it had the best view and it was inconspicuous.


    Song Zheng nodded and sat in the row in front of him. Mo Simin hesitated before joining Chen Mobai at the window.


    Soon after, two boys arrived.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡±


    One of them apparently knew Song Zheng and casually raised his hand to greet him, and Song Zheng responded.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°They are Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing from class 1. Xu Yuan is at the 7th level of Qi cultivation like you, while Shi Yuanqing is at the 8th level and is considered the top student of the fifth high school.¡±


    Mo Simin immediately leaned over to Chen Mobai and explained to him about the two new students.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai took a closer look at them.


    Xu Yuan was the lazy youth, whereas Shi Yuanqing was a bit immature and followed quietly behind Xu Yuan. They both chose to sit in the farthest corner from them.


    Soon after, two beautiful girls walked into the room, one was tall and slim, the other was petite and cute.


    Mo Simin introduced them as Cao Yaling and Shi Jingjing from class 2. Both were at the 8th level of Qi cultivation and were known as the school¡¯s beauties.


    They were the only prospective 8th level Qi cultivators among the current crop of students in the Fifth High School, which also includes Shi Yuanqing.


    ¡°How did you guys do? I didn¡¯t perform my best this time, I can¡¯t get into the Taiyuan Academy anymore.¡±


    Shi Jingjing seemed very close with the two boys from class 1. She naturally walked up to them and sat down in front of them and asked.


    ¡°Not bad, I scored 342 points and he scored 343 points. It¡¯s impossible for us to get into the four Daoist Academies, but we can still choose freely from the ten academies.¡±


    Xu Yuan casually answered without lifting his head, resting his chin on one hand and playing with the phone in the other.


    ¡°Was the exam paper harder this year? I initially thought that I could aim for the four Daoist Academies and take their entrance exam.¡±


    Shi Jingjing pouted, seemingly unsatisfied with her performance. On the other hand, Cao Yaling just quietly took a seat.


    ¡°How much did she score? I heard that the highest score in our school was 345 points, and it¡¯s a name I¡¯ve never heard before.¡±


    Xu Yuan pointed to Cao Yaling as he asked Shi Jingjing.


    ¡°344.5 points. She only missed becoming the top scorer in the school by half a point. And who on earth is Chen Mobai?¡±


    Song Zheng listened with a strange look while Mo Simin just sat in her seat, not saying anything.


    ¡°Oh, I thought I was early.¡±


    At this point, someone they knew came in. It was Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you drop out?¡±


    Shi Jingjing also recognised the beauty, Yan Bingxuan. She was very surprised and her eyes widened when she saw Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Even though I was exempted from the Nature Studies Academy entrance exam, I still have to transfer my student records.¡±


    ¡°The principal asked me to process the transfer and, while here, I would help fill up the numbers and promote the academy.¡±


    ¡°After all, I was admitted to the Nature Studies Academy through this high school, and if you guys fail the entrance exam, they may have to use my name on the banners.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s comments left Shi Jingjing annoyed, but as three more students walked in, she chose not to argue.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately waived at Yan Bingxuan, signalling her to sit beside him. Bingxuan did not hesitate upon seeing Mo Simin and chose a seat next to her.


    Song Zheng did not say anything, pretending he did not see her.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about the other day.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized sincerely to Yan Bingxuan, who dismissed it with a wave of her hand, indicating she didn¡¯t mind.


    ¡°How much did you score, and which academy are you planning to join?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was still not aware about Chen Mobai¡¯s results. As Chen Mobai was about to respond, a short old man walked in.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite early.¡±


    Seeing the old man, everyone stood up and paid their respects.


    ¡°Hello, principal.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, good, sit down, I¡¯ll speak when everyone is here.¡±


    This was the principal of the Fifth High School, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, He Jingshan.


    After about ten more minutes, all 36 students were present. Chen Mobai was familiar with all of them after Mo Simin¡¯s introductions ¡ª 3 students at the 8th level of Qi cultivation, 15 at the 7th level, and 18 at the 6th level.


    ¡°Alright, let me say a few words first.¡±


    When everyone was present, He Jingshan walked up to the podium. After some routine opening remarks, he suddenly asked,


    ¡°Who is Chen Mobai?¡±


    ¡°Hello principal, I am Chen Mobai.¡±


    The handsome and young Chen Mobai stood up. Immediately, everyone in the room turned their eyes on him. Xu Yuan and Shi Jingjing from the corner widened their eyes, clearly shocked that this was the top scorer in the school.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡±


    Only Yan Bingxuan, who had already dropped out, was unaware of this development and frowned at the strange atmosphere in the classroom, asking Mo Simin about the situation.


    ¡°Very good, every generation produces talented individuals. I hope in this year¡¯s entrance exam, you can lead your classmates and show the spirit of the Fifth High School, sit down.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, the principal was very satisfied and praised him.


    At this time, Yan Bingxuan knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s top score. She was slightly shocked and looked carefully at the boy she had not paid much attention to.


    Although she was surprised by his 7th level Qi cultivation during the farewell dinner, that was it. After all, there were quite a few students at the 7th level in the school. If she had not stalled to transform her Ice Spirit Root, she might be at the 8th level by now.


    But scoring the highest in the exam shocked her.


    After all, she had also completed the exam, and had scored precisely 345 points.


    Has this guy been low-key this whole time?


    Yan Bingxuan remembered when Chen Mobai asked her about the Cold Ice Technique and felt that he might just be a quiet person, indifferent to honor and disgrace, and quietly cultivating his skills.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This kind of person, has the style of a true cultivator.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together after school. I have mastered the Cold Ice Technique and I want to thank you and apologize at the same time.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai sent a message to Yan Bingxuan.


    After sending the message, he remembered that he had already invited Qing Nu for a grilled fish meal after school.


    Well, that¡¯s fine, he can just invite them both. It makes things simpler..

 Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Rules of Magic Duel_l

    Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Rules of Magic Duel_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The theme for this year¡¯s entrance exam, as you all know, is a magic duel!¡± ¡°Once the cut-off scores are out, the rules will also be delivered to all major colleges. Let me go through them in detail now. Please, make sure you remember them.¡±


    ¡°In the magic duel, only spells are allowed. No pills, magic artifacts, or formations will be permitted. Of course, to test your innate combat talent, and to allow for more possibilities during the magic duel to create opportunities for the weak to overpower the strong, the representatives from the Daoist academies and the colleges have agreed to allow each student participating in the entrance exam to use talismans.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the 18 Qi cultivation Rank-6 students, initially dispirited, instantly became invigorated. They all widened their eyes, paying close attention to what the principal on the stage had to say next.


    Even Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Though he was confident in himself, if he had to go against a Qi cultivation Rank-8 or Rank-9 opponent, his odds of victory still seemed uncertain if they were to only rely on spells.


    However, if talismans could be used, he felt that he should be able to defeat everyone.


    After all, he was now an outstanding talisman trader. During a magic duel, he could have a hundred or so talismans in his pocket and a couple of Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismans on standby. He should even be able to defeat Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°Principal, wouldn¡¯t this favor the rich?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we all come from ordinary families. We might not even afford to buy a Rank-2 talisman. How is this different from allowing the use of magical formations?¡±


    ¡°If those wealthy students have a hundred talismans in their pockets during the duel, we might as well just surrender.¡±


    As Chen Mobai listened to the complaints from his classmates echoing throughout the classroom, he felt a bit embarrassed about his previous thoughts.


    Yes, winning with money would indeed contradict the original intention of the entrance exam.


    It was highly unfair.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The use of talismans is allowed to give ordinary students like you a chance to overpower the stronger opponent.¡±


    ¡°Naturally, the use of talismans will not be unrestricted. The Daoist academies and colleges have set limits. During the magic duel, you¡¯re allowed to use one Upper-grade Rank-1 talisman, two Intermediate-grade Rank-1 talismans, or four Lower-grade Rank-1 talismans.¡±


    ¡°If you want to achieve good results, the combination of these talismans is crucial. Ideally, they should form a system and should not have any apparent flaws.¡±


    When He Jingshan finished speaking, the crowd instantly began to discuss what talismans would be most effective for combat, and which ones would suit their cultivation techniques best.


    Chen Mobai listened for a while and found that half of the Rank-7 Qi cultivation students had already transformed their Five Elements Cultivation Technique into another technique that suited their Spiritual Root Talent. They now had a clear objective in mind, as the attribute of the cultivation technique was already indicative of the kind of talismans they should use to maximize power.


    Those who were still cultivating with the Five Elements technique had more options. They could construct a system based on the Five Elements or build a hybrid system. This would make it hard for them to be targeted during a magic duel.


    However, the Five Elements Cultivation technique¡¯s balanced Spiritual Power might inhibit the cultivator from maximizing the power of a Rank-1 Upper-grade talisman.


    There are always advantages and disadvantages.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve said all I need to say. Now fill in your preferences, and I¡¯ll offer some suggestions for you.¡±


    With a wave of He Jingshan¡¯s right hand, the stacks of preference forms on the stage flew to each student¡¯s desk.


    ¡°By the way, if you have thoughts about talismans, you can also consult me or any of these four teachers in our school. From Monday to Friday, one of us will be on duty to address your queries.¡±


    He Jingshan picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the names of the four teachers on the blackboard.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the names. He only recognized Ding Jinglue. However, the other three, who also taught spell courses for seniors, were equally trustworthy in terms of their proficiency in talismans.


    But if he were to ask anyone, it would undoubtedly be Ding Jinglue or He Jingshan. After all, the former was his teacher, and the latter was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, evidently more adept.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai completed his three preferences.


    For his first choice, he wrote Jumang Daoist Academy. Even though the cut-off scores for all four main Daoist academies were conventionally 350 points, he figured he had nothing to lose by filling it in. What if a special situation arose, and he got admitted?


    It was one of the four main Daoist academies after all.


    Chen Mobai glanced at Song Zheng and saw that he had also chosen the Repairing Heaven Institute. Looking around, he noticed Mo Simin had chosen the Dance Tool Dao Academy as her first choice.


    Only Yan Bingxuan, who was exempted from the college entrance examination and already admitted to the Nature Studies Academy, did not fill in any preferences.


    It seemed everyone had the same thought. But this was also a small trick in filling out the preferences taught by the class teacher, as that was the intended purpose of the first choice.


    As for why Chen Mobai chose Jumang Daoist Academy among the four main Daoist academies, it simply was because Qing Nu had been admitted there. In case he was lucky enough to get in, it would be great to have a familiar face to study with.


    For his second choice, there was no need for any further thoughts ¨C Pure Yang Academy.


    His third choice was the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    After completing his preferences, Chen Mobai waited for a while, and then He Jingshan collected everyone¡¯s forms.


    He looked over each one, calling up the respective students as he read their names.


    Some students were too greedy. Even though their scores were insufficient, they stubbornly chose the colleges they fancied. In these cases, He Jingshan would ask them to modify their preferences; others were overly cautious¡­


    Before long, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Hmm, with your scores, you are practically guaranteed a spot in the Pure Yang Academy. Make sure to work hard once you get there and strive to reach Core Formation to keep up the reputation of our alma mater.¡±


    For this top-ranked student, He Jingshan spoke amiably, causing a subtle change in the expressions of many down below.


    Chen Mobai was not Shi Yuanqing and the other well-known students. Many people still viewed this sudden first-place student with skeptical eyes.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai paid no heed to this.


    It wasn¡¯t that he looked down on these people. It was just that none of them among those present could best him. Even the three Rank-8 Qi cultivation students, given the condition that talismans could be used, Chen Mobai felt his chances of winning were quite high.


    He calmly sat in his seat waiting for He Jingshan to review everyone¡¯s preferences.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    When they were dismissed, he stood up and signaled to Yan Bingxuan.


    Mo Simin, who was standing beside them, opened her mouth wide, seemingly stunned. Hadn¡¯t they just said they were merely classmates? Their tones and actions seemed a bit off.


    ¡°Simin, come join us.¡±


    Compared to Chen Mobai¡¯s bluntness, Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a bit and eventually called the class president over as a cover. The three of them would go out to eat together. This way, there would be less gossip.


    ¡°Old Song, why don¡¯t you come along too?¡±


    Chen Mobai, now a bit more solvent, was not bothered by treating a couple more people to a meal.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Song Zheng bluntly said two words and then immediately left the classroom.


    ¡°He seems to have a grudge against you?¡±


    Chen Mobai wearily asked Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°During our freshman and sophomore years, he always lost to me in practical spell classes. He has been defeated by me so many times, that¡¯s why he¡¯s like this.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan took it lightly. Her Spiritual Root Talent was better than that of Song Zheng. She used to be the first in the class. However, during her senior year, she began cultivating Frost Condensation Technique, which delayed her progression in cultivation stages, allowing Song Zheng to catch up..

 Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Meeting between Two Women 1

    Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Meeting between Two Women 1


    Translator: 549690339            ¡ª


    At the grilled fish restaurant.


    Mo Simin looked at Qing Nu who sat opposite her, then at Yan Bingxuan who was next to her, then at Chen Mobai between the two women, she simply can¡¯t comprehend how he dares!


    ¡°Come, this is the black sturgeon that I had specially delivered from my hometown. It tastes even better than the carp we had last time.¡±


    As Chen Mobai had been on Green Light Island all this while, he had no time to return to the Water Mansion. So, he had to choose this best tasting fish from the seafood market on the island. It was said that its taste was comparable to Azure Blood Carp, it just didn¡¯t offer the effect of enhancing one¡¯s Spiritual Root after eating it.


    Chen Mobai had inquired about it. Even in the Tianhe Realm, the famous dish of Azure Blood Carp wasn¡¯t something that an average cultivator could afford. Back in the day, Liu Yanpei had bought the fry at the value of one Spirit Stone apiece. After intensive care, feeding regime development, and growth into rank-t lower-grade, they were sold in the market for the price of 10 Spirit Stones.


    If you ordered this dish at the Sky Meal Building in Southstream Market, it would already cost 50 Spirit Stones.


    The reason for such high price mainly lied in how this dish, after being cooked by Sky Meal Building¡¯s master chef, could significantly boost the Qi Cultivation speed of Water Attribute Cultivation practitioners for a week.


    Many people thought it was due to the exquisite skills of the Immortal Chef, but in reality, Chen Mobai knew that it was mainly because of the excellent ¡¯ Azure Blood Carp ingredient. Practice is in the Tianhe Realm hadn¡¯t realized that the Azure Blood Carp could enhance the Water Spirit Root. They simply saw it as a high-grade food ingredient.


    However, if Chen Mobai thought about it, he would feel heartache. Those Azure Blood Carps he ate at the Water Mansion were worth hundreds of Spirit Stones each, even at cost price.


    But then, on second thought, raising Azure Blood Carps was an exclusive skill of the cultivator Liu family in Yun Country. If he were to sell fish at Southstream Market, he might be ambushed and done away with by people from the Liu family the next day.


    Looking at it this way, eating the fish seemed to be the best option.


    This black sturgeon was also a local delicacy of Yun Meng Ze. Its flesh was fresh and tender. Chen Mobai had tried it in his wooden house. Even when simply boiled, it could lure him to drink all the fish soup.


    Today, with the restaurant owner¡¯s ancestral recipe, the delicacy from the Tianhe Realm made even Yan Bingxuan, who was always conscious of her appearance, can¡¯t help but devour everything after a bite, leaving her mouth oily.


    Chen Mobai was a bit slow in picking up his chopsticks, so he saw that his three female classmates had only left him some side dishes and fish bones.


    Luckily, he had considered Qing Nu¡¯s love for fish and brought two. When the boss served the second one, he didn¡¯t hesitate to reach for the tenderest piece with his chopsticks, bit it off under the gaze of the three women staring wide-eyed at him.


    Delicious!


    After eating the grilled fish, the three women started to clean themselves up, acting modestly, with the Cleaning Technique.


    ¡°This restaurant is not bad, we can return next time for another taste.¡± Yan Bingxuan thought it was due to the cook¡¯s skill, but Qing Nu immediately explained that it was due to the good ingredients Chen Mobai brought.


    Mo Simin glanced at the two women, suddenly kicked Chen Mobai, who looked at her puzzled. Immediately, the class monitor hinted with her eyes, urging him to say something, to end this meal gathering. She feared that if they continued to stay, some unpredictable situation might occur.


    Chen Mobai also planned to return to the Tianhe Realm to continue practicing his magic duel techniques. So according to her wishes, he said they would meet again next time.


    ¡°By the way, this is the Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water I have been refining.¡±


    Before each of them left, Qing Nu suddenly took out twelve tied-up glass tubes from her bag. Inside, the colorless and transparent Spirit Water was rippling, making Chen Mobai overjoyed.


    ¡°Thanks for your hard work. Without this, my Cultivation Level has been rising slowly recently.¡±                         ¡ã


    After earning money in Yun Meng Ze, Chen Mobai bought to main ingredients for refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from a branch of Siqi Pavilion belonging to Lou family on Green Light Island. He also bought some used Spirit Stones, made a trip to Di Yuan Planet to give them to Qing Nu, and also bought some talismans online.


    With the same main and auxiliary medicines, at most only ten tubes could be refined if using them to make Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. However, the market price is much more expensive, with a flagship store price of 1000 Good Deed Points per tube.


    After Chen Mobai reached Qi Cultivation¡¯s seventh level, taking Rank-1 intermediate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water would only give him two to three times the Cultivation efficiency, which he wasn¡¯t satisfied with. Previously Qing Nu was inexperienced in refining, and the success rate was only ten percent. However, with his ample supply of raw materials and the addition of Spiritual Extract, she finally overcame that hurdle recently.


    ¡°Now my refining success rate has reached seventy to eighty percent. Given that the medicinal materials are sufficient, I should be able to refine a hundred tubes for you before I go to Jumang Daoist Academy. That will be enough for your Cultivation to reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    When Qing Nu said this, she pushed the twelve tubes of Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water on the table towards Chen Mobai, her eyes full of smiles.


    ¡°Perfect, I just bought ten more batches of medicinal materials online, come with me to pick it up at home. Class monitor, Yan Bingxuan, we¡¯ll go ahead.¡± Under Mo Simin¡¯s unbelieving and wide-eyed gaze, Chen Mobai greeted them, then cheerfully went home with Qing Nu.


    ¡°How can he be so daring!!¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Mo Simin suddenly couldn¡¯t help screaming. She had never seen such an insensitive man before.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go too, or we¡¯ll miss the bus.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan, however, stood up with a calm expression, without showing any inner emotions.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you angry at all? Honestly, if it wasn¡¯t for me not being able to beat


    him, I would definitely teach him a lesson today.¡±


    Mo Simin¡¯s emotions were greatly stirred. She took deep, hurried breaths while walking with Yan Bingxuan, scolding as they went.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to be so worked up about? You wouldn¡¯t really think that we are dating, right? We¡¯ve made it clear that we are just classmates.¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Simin¡¯s continuous words, Yan Bingxuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh and interrupt her.


    Even if we are just classmates, how could he invite another girl when he invites you for a meal? Even if she is his girlfriend, what¡¯s his point, to show off?¡±


    In Yan Bingxuan¡¯s view, Mo Simin¡¯s thinking was off. They were just having a meal. It would be even better and more lively to invite a friend over. Besides, Chen Mobai had said that Qing Nu was just his good friend.


    What¡¯s wrong with inviting another girl?


    Aren¡¯t you a girl too?


    Mo Simin was stunned by Yan Bingxuan¡¯s line of thought, and after thinking about Chen Mobai, she felt as if she was the most abnormal one among them.

    It can be said that people with the same thinking are indeed attracted to each other.


    After realizing this, Mo Simin shut her mouth.


    Don¡¯t include me in any of your activities in the future. If I continue with your team building exercises a few more times, I¡¯m afraid my worldview and thinking will be shattered and reshaped.


    It seems that Qing Nu is a normal person like me. Was she deliberately showing off just now in order to attract Chen Mobai¡¯s attention?


    What a pity.. A fine Heavenly Spiritual Root, why would she have her eyes on him?

 Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Divine Wood Sect’s Understanding of Symbol Making l

    Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Understanding of Symbol Making l


    Translator: 549690339


    After delivering the medicinal herbs with Qing Nu to the rented pharmacy lab, Chen Mobai placed another order online. He swept the newly released two hundred talismans that were set up by the Wood Spirit Talisman store during this period. The shopkeeper responded familiarly with a smiley face emoji and sent it as same-city express delivery.


    Unfortunately, he failed to grab the Vein Protection Pill during the flash sale at the Immortal Sect flagship store. Probably because of his home¡¯s poor network connection, the half-second delay resulted in the sale¡¯s complete sellout.


    Chen Mobai could only regretfully accept this. After all, he has the authority of Rank-3 and can participate in the flash sale every month. There will be a chance to succeed sometime in the future.


    Moreover, he successfully grabbed the Spirit Ascension Powder the last time. If he were to succeed again in grabbing the Vein Protection Pill this time, he might potentially expose himself if the process was observed by anyone with ill intentions.


    That night, he returned to Green Light Island as he usually does.


    Although his own wooden house has only a Rank-1 superior-grade Spiritual Qi level and is incomparable to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai has recently adopted a habit. As long as he is in the Tianhe Realm, he can will himself to diligently practice his cultivation.


    Perhaps it¡¯s because every time he refines the Spiritual Energy of the Tianhe Realm, he, a cultivator from this planet, always feels as though it¡¯s a freebie.


    This makes him very motivated to cultivate.


    After consuming a tube of Rank-1 superior-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water prepared by Qing Nu, Chen Mobai once again felt the rapid enhancement of efficiency. As the Five Elements Cultivation technique circulated, he absorbed strands of Spiritual Energy. After going through the Grand Circulation, it merged into his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, and gradually took shape within the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Finish meditating, Chen Mobai looked outside. It was still dark.


    Checking the time on his phone, it was exactly 4 a.m.


    He began to prepare the talismans he needed to use for his magic duel.


    Among the Rank-1 superior-grade talismans, the only one he can use for fighting right now is the ¡°Soldier-transforming Talisman¡±.


    According to its description, this talisman can exert its maximum power in environments such as forests. Its primary purpose is to trap and suppress. Given that the venue for the magic duel is the Cinnabarite Institute, and even though there are green plants there, most of the terrain consists of Danxia landform mountains. Chen Mobai considered this for a moment, then abandoned this talisman.


    On the Immortal Sect website, he also searched for various talisman stores, but talismans for fighting were extremely rare. Moreover, there were quite a few restrictions to prevent them from being misused by thoughtless cultivators, causing major incidents.


    All were too gentle.


    Chen Mobai shook his head, unable to find any combat talismans on the Immortal Sect website that satisfied him.


    Oddly enough, he remembered the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± that Qi Hou used back then. Although it needed some preparation to launch, its power was extremely powerful, and its speed was very fast. Even the famously fast Black Plague Bird couldn¡¯t evade it.


    After all, when it comes to magic duels, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm are more proficient.


    The development of everyday spells and cultivation techniques may be average, but in terms of combat, Chen Mobai admitted that the cultivators of this world were quite formidable.


    He remembered the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± that Lu Shu gave him in the Southstream Market. He immediately took it out from the bottom of his bag.


    Flipping open the book, he first searched for the table of contents, and as expected, found an introduction to the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    Crimson Flame Sword Talisman: A Rank-1 superior-grade talisman. Talisman Makers can solidify and infuse the Red Flame Sword Light produced by their cultivation into a piece of paper. They can seal up to three Sword Lights, which can be spontaneously released all at once or one by one.


    Unfortunately, this book only introduces this talisman and did not provide the exact method of refining it.


    However, Chen Mobai learned from this that the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± has three levels.


    Like the one Qi Hou used last time, it was the most common one. It only sealed one Crimson Flame Sword Light. If it seals three Sword Lights and the user has enough Divine Sense, a small Sword Array can be set up when launched to make the talisman¡¯s power reach another level.


    Which means, although the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± is only a Rank-1 superior-grade, if all conditions are met, it can exert a power comparable to a Rank-2 lower-grade.


    It might not be inferior to the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    Maybe this is the one to pick.


    After reading the introduction, Chen Mobai felt like if he had the ¡°Three Crimson Flame Screw Talisman¡±, even if he didn¡¯t win the first place in the magic duel, entering the top ten should not be a problem.


    He would go to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Shop on the island tomorrow have a look around and see if they sell this talisman.


    After putting the ¡°Three Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± on his list of primary targets, Chen Mobai started to select two Rank-1 intermediate-grade talismans.


    He was familiar with the Green Arrow Talisman and the Wood Armor Talisman. It was fair to say these were the talismans he used most frequently and was most adept at using. He decided to go with these two for now.


    Now only four Rank-1 lower-grade talismans were left.


    Chen Mobai set up a group composed of the Wooden Shield Talisman, Wood Prison Talisman, Coiling Talisman, and Detoxification Talisman. In the immortal world, duels were generally stopped at some point, and these talismans could be used to deal with Qi Cultivation Rank-6 opponents who were only making up the numbers.


    However, among these, the function of the Wooden Shield Talisman and Wood Armor Talisman are somewhat redundant, and Chen Mobai also mastered the Water Elemental Shield. He felt that there were too many defensive means.


    But he also considered that being undefeated is not a bad thing, so he¡¯ll stick with this setup for now.


    After roughly setting up a set of talismans to be used during the magic duel, Chen Mobai decided to head out on his own to practice against the Black Armored Turtle tomorrow.


    Looking outside, the sky was still dark, so Chen Mobai continued to read the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± in his hands.


    He contemplated whether he could use the talismans from Tianhe Realm to further enhance his current set.


    This book of insights was distributed to newly recruited disciples by the Divine Wood Sect. It records the forty-eight most common types of talismans in the Divine Wood Sect, but only five of them come with detailed crafting methods.


    These are the ¡°Consciousness Talisman,¡± ¡°Renewal Talisman,¡± ¡°Regeneration Talisman,¡± ¡°New Life Talisman,¡± and ¡°Life Recovery Talisman.¡±


    From their names, it is clear they are designed as a systematic set to be used for healing and saving lives.


    The ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡± is an inferior version of the ¡°Resurrection Talisman.¡± It can be used to restore Spiritual Power. How much is restored depends on the level of the realm. However, it lacks the powerful effect of the Resurrection Talisman, which removes all negative effects.


    The ¡°Renewal Talisman¡± is quite powerful. It can regenerate severed fingers or even amputated limbs. If this talisman is used shortly after the injury, it can even reattach the severed part.


    The ¡°Regeneration Talisman¡± is the best-selling talisman within the lower market of the Divine Wood Sect. It can enhance a man¡¯s virility.

    The ¡°New Life Talisman¡± allows cultivators who are beginning to age physically to experience the vigor of youth again. Its sales are also good.


    The most powerful ¡°Life Recovery Talisman¡± is used for saving lives. No matter how severe the injury, as long as you slap on this talisman, you can hold on to your last breath for three days. Of course, if your head has been chopped off, ten Life Recovery Talismans would be useless. It is generally used to carry out last wishes.


    After reading this book of talisman-making insights, Chen Mobai had a fair idea about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s approach.


    Turns out, this major sect of the East Wilderness recruits loose practitioners specifically to create talismans.


    The contribution to the sect gained from making talismans can be accumulated. It is said that when it reaches ten thousand, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill..

 Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Death_l

    Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Death_l


    Translator: 549690339 1


    Although he understood why the Divine Wood Sect recruited Loose Cultivators, Chen Mobai still yearned for the Foundation Building Pill-


    Just one of these pills could reportedly give a Qi Practitioner at the level of Qi Cultivation completion, a minimum of 30% success rate in Foundation Establishment, making it quite the divine ascension spiritual medicine.


    Even if overdosed, Chen Mobai was willing to give the Foundation Building Pill


    a try.


    After all, he would have enough time to detoxify the pill after Foundation


    Establishment.


    However, even though Divine Wood Sect was the most inclusive amongst the Big Seven of the Eastern Wilderness, the enrollment for Loose Cultivators only happened once every decade, highly favoring those with talisman-creation capabilities. After all, Qi Practitioners with this talent could become a source of revenue for the sect with just a bit of nurturing.


    Moreover, to earn enough sect contributions for the Foundation Building Pill, these individuals would work to their utmost capability in talisman crafting and task completion. Cultivators who grew in such an environment and subsequently succeeded in Foundation Establishment were usually of high accomplishment.


    Chen Mobai considered his options, deciding that he needed to sharpen his talisman-making skills as soon as possible if he wanted a shot at fitting in. Hence, after the entrance exams, he decided to prioritize talisman crafting right after cultivation, utilizing the crafting instructions recorded in the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Guide¡±.


    Daylight had finally arrived.


    After making preparations and equipping himself, Chen Mobai rented a boat for the first time to hunt demonic beasts.


    He was fully prepared, stocked with talismans, and had even chosen the Black Armored Turtle- a beast famous in Yun Meng Ze for its strong defense and weak offense. As such, this solo endeavor went off without any unexpected twists, and he easily slaughtered an isolated turtle.


    However, during the process, he ran into the Ba siblings, who had also rented a boat.


    Chen Mobai and the siblings exchanged greetings from across the lake and then each took their spoils and sailed off in separate directions back to Green


    Light Island.


    ¡°I feel as though the pair are on guard around me.¡±


    Muttering to himself on his boat, Chen Mobai realized that interpersonal caution in the Tianhe Realm was much more intense than he had thought. Despite a few shared fights with the Ba siblings, they kept him at bay during their meeting in Yun Meng Ze.


    As for this, Chen Mobai could only count himself lucky that he hadn¡¯t run into Qi Hou and his fellow disciples. That would have been truly awkward.


    Once he safely returned to Green Light Island, Chen Mobai sold the Black Armored Turtle he had killed to a beast vendor on the pier. Since his talismans were primarily used for binding and trapping, the most valuable part of the beast- the turtle shell, was perfectly preserved. He sold it for two Spirit Stones.


    After being processed by an Artifact Refiner, these turtle shells became defensive magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai kept a turtle leg for himself. He had even brought some seasonings this time, planning to cook this nutritious ingredient. However, as he was about to carry the cut turtle leg back to his wooden hut, a streak of spiritual light, like an arrow leaving the bow, flew from the distant lake and hit a cart full of beast meat nearby.


    Instantly, flesh and blood splattered everywhere.


    Chen Mobai acted swiftly, using his Water Controlling Technique. A hemisphere of water formed in front of him, blocking all the flying pieces of flesh and blood.


    ¡°Which little bastard blew up the goods I painstakingly gathered all morning?¡± An eighth-layer Qi Practitioner, ignoring the flesh and blood on him, furiously rushed to the spiritual light. He crushed it with a punch, pulled out the person inside, and prepared to give him a good beating.


    ¡°Quickly inform the Island Lord, there¡¯s an army of¡­ demonic beasts¡­ charging towards us¡­¡±


    The person inside the spiritual light managed to spit out this sentence, even as he continuously coughed up blood. The powerful talisman he had been clasping turned into ashes.


    ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that the person was Ba Jiang and was taken aback.


    At this time, the two disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who had been watching the show on the dock, showed a drastic change in their expressions when they heard Ba Jiang¡¯s words. One of them instantly pushed away the meat vendor who was about to interject, while the other, with distressed eyes, quickly applied a Life Recovery Talisman.


    ¡°Send a message to Uncle Zheng, the most urgent one!


    After applying the talisman and preserving Ba Jiang¡¯s remaining life, the disciple of the Divine Wood Sect gave this command to his brother, who nodded, pulled a talisman for internal communication from his chest, and launched it into the sky after infusing it with spiritual power.


    Whoom!


    A pillar of firework-like light shot instantly into the sky. Anyone outside on Green Light Island could see it clearly.


    ¡°What has happened!¡±


    Not even a minute after the talisman was launched, a white-haired old man with powerful spiritual light flew from the top of Green Light Island. His gaze was as sharp as a knife. He stood in mid-air, his powerful aura telling Chen Mobai that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°A loose cultivator reported that an army of demonic beasts is heading towards Green Light Island.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect cultivator stationed at the dock promptly informed the Uncle Zheng of the situation.


    Upon hearing the news, the white-haired old man immediately flew higher up, and Chen Mobai clearly saw him shooting twelve talismans in all directions. About eight or nine breaths later, seven of the talismans flew back to his palm. ¡°Everyone withdraw to the island immediately and start the Large Formation. Send messages to our disciples and other members outside, telling them not to return to the island and find their own way to survive.¡±


    This senior named Zheng, who was stationed in Yun Meng Ze for many years was well prepared for a situation like this. After confirming the authenticity of the demonic beast army using a Demon-searching Talisman, he began to issue orders and arrange for the sect members.


    ¡°Yes, Uncle Zheng!¡±


    The Wood Sect disciple who was holding Ba Jiang immediately laid down the now useless messenger and began to activate the nodal points of the Large Formation on the shore along with his fellow disciple.


    As for the other Loose Cultivators on the shore, needless to say, they scattered in an instant once the Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke, abandoning their goods to rush to the Fang Market to buy battle talismans, magic artifacts, and medicinal pills.


    The cultivators who had just left the island were somewhat lucky; the Divine Wood Sect disciples waited for them to come ashore before activating the


    Large Formation.


    But those who were far away could only pray for their good fortune.


    It seemed even the disciples of Divine Wood Sect who left the island could only rely on their luck according to the cultivator who had achieved Foundation Establishment. They only hoped they would not encounter the demonic beast army and survive this catastrophe.


    Chen Mobai, seeing the now empty dock, immediately ran to Ba Jiang, who was on his last breath, having seemed to have used up all his spiritual power to activate a life-saving talisman and hoisted him onto his back.

    Ba Jiang was moved to see that Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t fled but had chosen to save him instead in such a situation.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your sister?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that not long ago, he had seen the Ba siblings.


    ¡°She¡¯s dead.¡±


    These two simple words caused Chen Mobai to stop in his tracks. He was once again confronted with the dangers of the Tianhe Realm..

 Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Summon Order _1

    Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Summon Order _1


    Translator: 549690339


    After carrying Ba Jiang back to the wooden house he had rented, Chen Mobai prepared to say goodbye and leave.


    ¡°Brother Chen, words cannot express my gratitude. Once I recover from my injuries, I will prepare a generous gift for you.¡±


    Ba Jiang weakly lay on the wooden bed, opening his mouth with a wry smile. ¡°After all, we¡¯ve just met and I¡¯d feel guilty if I didn¡¯t help save you from death.¡± Chen Mobai merely shook his head, then asked about the situation with the demonic beasts, but Ba Jiang really didn¡¯t know much.


    After killing the Black Armored Turtle with his sister, he went around to hunt another kind of beast, only to encounter a large flock of Black Plague Birds.


    The Rank-2 bird king didn¡¯t even need to make a move, close to a thousand Black Plague Birds spat out windy plague, dense as a shower of arrows coveting all possible escape spaces.


    Ba Jiang had a Rank-2 defensive Spirit Talisman for saving his life, but his sister was not so lucky. She was pierced through with a thousand holes and lost her life in the water.


    ¡°Do these demonic beasts of Yun Meng Ze often attack islands?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a complete outsider and his understanding of the situation


    here was limited to his recent experience.


    Although Ba Jiang had just arrived, he was nonetheless born into a cultivating family native to Eastern Wilderness. Having grown up listening to legends about Yun Meng Ze, he had an inkling about the situation.


    -Deep within Yun Meng Ze, it is said there is a Rank-4 demonic beast, but a hundred years ago, it was suppressed by the Hun Yuan elder from the Five Elements Sect along with some of his fellows.¡±


    ¡°Fifty years ago, after the Hun Yuan elder¡¯s death, this seal became less stable and often, powerful beasts would break out from the seal. They would lead their clans to stir up trouble. If not for the constant presence of Nu Jiang, a cultivator belonging to the Five Elements Sect¡¯s water clan, guarding the seal from Wind and Rain Keep, Yun Meng Ze would probably have become a playground for these beasts,¡±


    ¡°Still, every once in a while, the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness would organize mass hunting events at Yun Meng Ze. Otherwise, if the external and internal beasts team up to attack the Wind and Rain Keep, the legendary


    Rank-4 beast might truly escape.¡±


    ¡°In the past thirty years, the army of beasts has become more clever. They would commence their attacks on the various market islands within Yun Meng Ze before the commencement of the major joint beast hunting event by the Eastern Wilderness sects. It¡¯s usually the most intense battles during this


    period.¡±


    After listening to all this, Chen Mobai could not help but fall silent and then he asked a question.


    ¡°Can Green Light Island withstand it?¡±


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect is, after all, one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. They have a remarkable foundation and most likely will be able to withstand the attack, though many people might die.¡±


    It was a phrase uttered by Ba Jiang that made Chen Mobai sigh.


    ¡öMost likely¡¯, meant there was a possibility of it not withstanding the attack. ¡°During these times, we, as loose cultivators have no choice but to rely on the Divine Wood Sect. They would also issue a summons asking us to help defend the island.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is this summon compulsory?¡±


    ¡°That depends on how the Divine Wood Sect decides but even if it¡¯s not compulsory, us loose cultivators would need to help defend the island because if the island breaks, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect might be able to escape via teleportation arrays, but we loose cultivators will definitely be abandoned as cannon fodder.¡±


    Ba Jiang said all this with a bitter face. Upon hearing it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show an enlightened look on his face.


    That¡¯s right, with the teleportation array, the Divine Wood Sect obviously has the capacity to evacuate its forces and retreat back to the sect¡¯s mam base.


    However, he quickly grasped another point.


    Green Light Island Market, as one of the best markets operated by the Divine Wood Sect in Yun Meng Ze, brings in tens of thousands of spirit stones every month from rent of the cave dwellings and wooden houses on the island, plus various stores and businesses.


    If they abandoned the island now, leaving it to be destroyed by the beasts, even Core Formation cultivators would be heartbroken by such a loss.


    Therefore, even if the Divine Wood Sect intended to retreat via the teleportation array, that would surely only occur in a situation where they were out of resources and could no longer defend the island.


    Consequently, Loose Cultivators would definitely hope that the Divine Wood Sect would not retreat and would contribute to the defense of the island.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, found himself mulling over whether to make an immediate departure.


    He had the Turtle Treasure and could withdraw at will.


    However, the demonic beasts¡¯ invasion of the island represented a rare learning opportunity. Given that he had a safe means of escape, and that the Divine Wood Sect was definitely prioritizing the defense of the island, perhaps he could observe the situation and use it to hone his magic duel skills.


    ¡°Brother Ba, you rest and heal first, I¡¯ll try to find Brother Qi Hou and see if he¡¯s on the island,¡± Chen Mobai said, before getting up and leaving.


    Chen had accompanied Qi Hou on several missions to hunt demonic beasts. He knew where this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect resided ¨C at the highest point of the island, where the spirit veins were the best. The cave dwelling even topped those at the Water Mansion, being of rank-2 top tier.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡±


    Luckily for Qi Hou, he avoided calamity that day by staying on the island since his junior brother Xi had other matters to attend to.


    Chen Mobai was even luckier. He left the island and met the Ba siblings. Fortunately, he chose the right direction and returned safely.


    Qi Hou sighed after hearing from Chen about the situation of the Ba siblings. He then handed Chen a ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡± to help deliver it to Ba Jiang. ¡°Brother Qi, how should we Loose Cultivators deal with the demonic beasts¡¯ island invasion?¡± Chen asked after accepting the talisman.


    If the Divine Wood Sect was hard on Loose Cultivators, he was planning to run away.


    ¡°Hmm, I just came from Uncle Master Zheng and the announcement is about to be issued. Let me tell you in advance.¡±


    -Our Divine Wood Sect is hiring all Loose Cultivators on the island with spirit stones. Those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation would receive 5 spirit stones per day, those in the middle stages 2 spirit stones per day, and those in the early stages 1 spirit stone per day. These spirit stones will be given out daily, provided each person is ready to risk their lives for the cause.¡± ¡°Furthermore, if one greatly distinguishes oneself in the defense of the island, we at the Divine Wood Sect may make an exception and welcome them into our ranks as disciples after the conflict.¡±


    After listening to Qi Hou¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire the audacity of this Zheng Foundational Establishment cultivator.


    Even without spirit stones, in order to preserve their own lives, Loose Cultivators on the island would aid in defending the island with their lives. But with this generous solicitation order, practically all of them would fight to the death.


    Even Chen Mobai himself was rather tempted.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age. I truly hope you can join the Divine Wood Sect, so that we can officially become fellow disciples.¡±


    After encouraging Chen with these words, Qi Hou mentioned that he needed to prepare defenses at the Large Formation array flag on the east side of the Green Light Island. After waiting for three fellow disciples to form a small team, he also hurriedly left.


    Chen Mobai, holding his Consciousness Talisman, returned to Ba Jiang¡¯s cabin. After giving him the talisman, he told him about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s solicitation order.


    ¡ö¡¯If they¡¯re distributing spirit stones on the day itself, even the most skeptical Loose Cultivator would drop their doubts. Uncle Master Zheng Deming, worthy of being one of the cultivators from Divine Wood Sect most likely to reach Core Formation level. He¡¯s greatly daring, and having come from a Loose Cultivator background, understands our perspective well.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Ba Jiang sighed with admiration. As expected, some Loose Cultivators who had planned to pack up and leave, thinking that the demonic beasts¡¯ main target must be Green Light Island and that they probably had a decent chance of surviving if they could hide in various parts of Yun Meng Ze without encountering the demonic beasts outright, chose to stay after the announcement was issued..

 Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Helmet_1

    Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Helmet_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai decided to stay.


    Tianhe Realm is his greatest opportunity. There is no doubt that he will spend a long time in this world, and in this world full of battles and danger, he can¡¯t always keep hiding.


    Defending Green Light Island this time can give him a direct view of the large-scale battle level of this world.


    Moreover, with the Divine Wood Sect taking the lead, such opportunities are not plentiful.


    Even if the Divine Wood Sect can¡¯t hold on in the end and has to retreat through the teleportation array, it will surely cause a great commotion, which cannot be hidden. He only needs eight seconds to return to the city. When the time comes, he can dig a hole under his wooden house. If the island is truly breached, he can still hide for eight seconds without any problem.


    After leaving Ba Jiang, Chen Mobai first went to the street, Fang Market on the island, intending to see if he could purchase some magic artifacts and talismans that could increase his combat power. But he was already too late, almost all the items had been snapped up.


    The rest were either inferior products or magic artifacts that had greatly reduced power due to damage.


    As for elixirs, they were truly all sold out. Even those medicinal herbs, as long as they could recuperate spiritual power or cure injuries upon consumption, had been bought up by the cultivators who were willing to spend money.


    The stores set up by the Divine Wood Sect were even more needless to say. After ordering the island¡¯s closure, they closed their doors. All the supplies were controlled by Zheng Deming and partly distributed to the sect disciples on the island.


    There were quite a few loose cultivators dreaming of getting rich by the roadside. They brought out items they usually dare not sell and opened up with exorbitant prices that were two to three times higher than usual.


    Chen Mobai took a liking to a spirit mirror artifact capable of attacking and defending, but the stall owner¡¯s asking price of 80 spirit stones forced him to shake his head and leave.


    After he made his round, he discovered how poor he really was and had to return to his own wooden house, only to find someone already waiting at the door.


    ¡°Mr. Wang, why are you standing at the door?¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted him. This man was the steward of Divine Wood Sect who had originally rented him this wooden house. The latter seemed to have just arrived not long ago. He was hesitating whether to wait a little longer. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s return, he let out a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Friend Chen, this is the recruitment order issued by my Divine Wood Sect. As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, I¡¯ve come to inform you, hoping that you can help defend the Spirit Island in this critical moment and lend a hand to our sect.¡±


    Steward Wang handed a recruitment order that was stamped with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s seal to Chen Mobai. The latter, having decided to stay, naturally would not refuse.


    ¡°No problem, but where can I collect the spirit stones?¡±


    The recruitment order clearly stated the conditions for recruiting loose cultivators to defend the island, exactly as disclosed by Qi Hou. Once you accept the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s conscription, the remuneration spirit stones would be distributed before each day¡¯s battle.


    Such conditions are absolutely full of sincerity.


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing, you¡¯d belong to the small team under my command, and I¡¯ll distribute the spirit stones.¡±


    Steward Wang¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod in approval, after which he immediately signed right on the recruitment order.


    ¡°According to the investigation of Uncle Zheng¡¯s spirit talisman, the first batch of demonic beast army will arrive in about two hours. I still need to issue recruitment orders to more than ten other loose cultivators. I hope, Friend Chen, you can gather at this place an hour later.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded again. Steward Wang was also very generous, directly paying out the 5 spirit stones.


    After all, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Large Formation to protect the island has been activated. These loose cultivators couldn¡¯t escape even if they wanted to, so they weren¡¯t afraid of Chen Mobai going back on his word after receiving the spirit stones.


    What Steward Wang didn¡¯t know was that right after he left, Chen Mobai immediately used Turtle Treasure to return to the Earth Realm.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t flee. Instead, he went to purchase supplies for battle.


    At home, the packet of more than two hundred talismans sent by the Wood Spirit Talisman store was casually swept by Chen Mobai¡¯s glance and then stuffed into his bag. Then he called Wu Wan.


    There was inflation in Green Light Island, but over here in the Earth Realm, the prices of magic artifacts had always been very steady. However, magic artifacts used for battle were unusually high.


    There was no way, producing a magic artifact that had a huge killing power required prior application and approval from the relevant departments of the immortal gates. Once they were made and bought, the buyer had to register again. It needed to be reported every time it was used. All kinds of reasons made the prices of magic artifacts used for battle soar.


    However, defense-type magic artifacts only needed to be recorded once they were made, so their value had always been very stable.


    Chen Mobai felt that in a battle, it¡¯s safest to protect one¡¯s life. Although he had practiced the Water Elemental Shield and had the Wooden Shield Charm and the Wood Armor Talisman, he still felt he needed to buy another defensive magic weapon to feel assured to participate in the island defense battle.


    ¡°A defensive magic artifact, my budget is around 80,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After making his demand clear in one sentence, Wu Wan, as a Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser, had quite a few resources at hand and had three magic artifacts that met his requirements.


    Due to the urgency, this time Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take his time to take public transportation, he went to Wu¡¯s Gold Shop by taxi directly.


    ¡°I only have this one right now. If you need the other two, they have to be transferred from other Blessed Earth Cities.¡±


    ¡°How long would it take?¡±


    ¡°One is in the same city, it can probably arrive tomorrow. The other has to be transferred from Weiyu Blessed Earth, the fastest can be three days if you are not stingy with Good Deed Points.¡±


    In the immortal gates, shipping is free within the same city. The freight for shipping from other Blessed Earth City is not cheap. But at this time Chen Mobai would certainly not care about these, only the time was too tight.


    So he started to look at the defensive magic artifact that Wu Wan took out from his safe.


    It was a helmet, all golden and looked very dazzling.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Rank-1 intermediate grade magic artifact. When worn, it can defend against spells that attack the Divine Sea directly. When I was refining it, I also built in a prohibition for the Spiritual Force Shield. If it is filled with spiritual power in advance, you can activate it once without using your own spiritual power.¡±


    As Wu Wan introduced this helmet, he seemed a bit loath to part with it.


    ¡°Oh, I wasn¡¯t expecting it to be personally crafted by Master Wu.¡±


    Although every treasure appraiser has the heart to become an artifact refiner, Wu Wan¡¯s words still surprised Chen Mobai a bit.


    ¡°Originally, when I was refining this helmet, it was to enhance divine sense during the Foundation Establishment. Because I only got my hands on the Vein Protection Pill, I didn¡¯t have the Spirit Ascension Powder. Sadly, I still lacked the fundamental skills, and my Foundation Establishment failed. It will take several years to reach the Qi Cultivation Perfection again next time. If you need it, I¡¯ll sell it to you at a discounted price.¡±


    When Wu Wan spoke these words, although he sounded nonchalant, Chen Mobai could hear his sighs.


    The difficulty of Foundation Establishment for ordinary cultivators in the Immortal Gate, is akin to ascending to heaven.

    ¡°What price does Master Wu plan to sell it for?¡±


    ¡°This magic artifact is made from refined Essence of Gold, the material cost is extraordinary. We can be considered old acquaintances, 100,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that too expensive? My budget is only 80,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Over this period of buying talismans and auxiliary medicine for the


    Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai¡¯s original 160,000 Good Deed Points given by Tirio had been halved. This time he was planning to participate in the island defense battle and didn¡¯t plan on saving much. The 80,000 Good Deed Points was all he had left..

    Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Five Transformation Umbrellas l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The price is truly the lowest it can be, you are well aware of the price of gold. Why don¡¯t you take a look at these other two defensive magic weapons instead? They were made by two artifact refiners I know and are a bit cheaper.¡±


    Wu Wan pulled out two detailed, printed verification certificates that illustrated and described two magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai took a look; one was a long-sleeved law robe and the other was an umbrella.


    The defensive effect of the long-sleeved law robe was better than the helmet, but it did not have the function to improve divine sense, and its price was 89,000 Good Deed Points.


    As for the wooden umbrella, it was the cheapest, requiring only 75,000 Good Deed Points. In fact, its defense was not weak, but it required a high level of skill from the user as its defense could only be activated when completely open.


    However, once the umbrella was unfolded, it would continuously drain the user¡¯s spiritual power, thus it usually needed to be closed when not in use.


    Precisely because of this, Chen Mobai felt this was the right fit for him. Apart from its reasonable price, another reason was that he was a cultivator skilled at manipulation and this magic artifact was in line with the style of the Tianhe Realm. Wu Wan¡¯s golden helmet stood out too much.


    ¡°Is the umbrella from the city, or is it from Weiyu Cave Sky?¡±


    ¡°From the city.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go with this one then. Where is it? Let¡¯s catch a ride there, I want it immediately.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eagerness caught Wu Wan off guard, but since Chen Mobai was willing to cover the fare, Wu Wan had no objections.


    ¡°This is a piece created by a student from the Cinnabarite Institute. The handle and frame of the umbrella are made from Rank-1 Chinese Parasol Tree wood, with the cover of the umbrella is made of Rank-1 talisman paper.¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s called a magic artifact, it¡¯s closer to a talisman.¡±


    ¡°There are five defensive talismans drawn on the umbrella¡¯s cover, theoretically defending against Five Elements Spells. However, in my tests, it can at most withstand an attack of the late-stage Qi Cultivation level.¡±


    While waiting for the car, the two discussed the pros and cons of the magic artifact.


    Although Wu Wan didn¡¯t sell his own magic artifact, he was still in a good mood, knowing he¡¯d earn a commission since the umbrella was listed in his online store.


    ¡°This student is quite imaginative. The concept of this Five Elements Umbrella is remarkable, intending to neutralize all Five Elements Spells. It¡¯s just a pity that it tries to cover too much ground. It can defend against Five Elements Spells cast by a cultivator below the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation. Once it surpasses that limit, the defensive talismans will immediately lose balance.¡±


    ¡°However, this umbrella has a secondary function. Once the defensive talisman fails, you can find a talisman maker to redraw the talisman you want, changing it into an offensive tool.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t write this in the verification certificate. If the authorities come to investigate, I will definitely argue that you, the buyer, illegally modified it.¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s pointers greatly expanded Chen Mobai¡¯s horizons, and he admired the design of the ¡°Five Elements Umbrella¡±.


    This magic artifact can be called a ¡°half talisman¡±, and it can change its function by replacing its cover and the talismans drawn on it. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t received such hints from Wu Wan, he would have never been able to come up with this ingenious concept.


    After spending 260 Good Deed Points on a taxi to the Cinnabarite Institute, the student who received Wu Wan¡¯s notification was already waiting at the gate.


    The two introduced themselves.


    ¡°My name is Luan Jingsheng, a sophomore student.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, a commoner.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn¡¯t speak much and seemed quite attached to the wooden umbrella when he took it out.


    The two added each other as friends. Chen Mobai immediately paid the Good Deed Points to Wu Wan¡¯s online shop in front of Luan Jingsheng. After obtaining the wooden umbrella, he left without concerning himself with how Wu Wan and Luan Jingsheng would settle their accounts.


    His priority was to earn points, and for that, he paid an extra 3750 Good Deed Points in taxes.


    In the future, even if the Immortal Tax Bureau audits him, he, as the payer, would have all his procedures in order and wouldn¡¯t face any problems. Even if Wu Wan gets into trouble for tax evasion, he himself would remain innocent.


    Chen Mobai got another taxi back home, and then teleported to Green Light Island, arriving just in time, with one hour and one cup of tea to spare.


    Luan Jingsheng had also included a long cloth bag with the umbrella, and also said that if there were any issues in the future, he could contact him anytime for maintenance. From their initial interaction, Chen Mobai felt that Luan Jingsheng was a decent person who he could consider collaborating with in the long term.


    Chen Mobai placed the umbrella in the cloth bag. The bag had a string that could be tied around his waistband.


    Chen Mobai also tied his needle box to his left wrist and slipped on his backpack full of more than two hundred talismans. Fully armed, he headed to the manager, Wang¡¯s office. He was the one who rented him the wooden house, so Chen Mobai was very familiar with the route.


    When he arrived, he was a bit late and everyone was waiting for him.


    ¡°Sorry about the delay, I had to visit a few friends to buy some magic artifacts and talismans,¡± Chen Mobai immediately apologized. Seeing him fully armed, the impatience of the loose cultivators eased. After all, the better equipped their companion, the safer they felt.


    ¡°Cultivator Chen, there are 28 cultivators in our group, and we are tasked with guarding one node of the ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡¯, here is the basic information,¡± said the manager, handing Chen Mobai a small booklet. He then patted a green cloth bag around his waist and a floating flying boat appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s a storage pouch!¡± exclaimed one female cultivator, surprised at the nature of Wang¡¯s green cloth bag.


    Even the smallest storage pouch requires 100 spirit stones. Wang¡¯s storage pouch, which was large enough to hold a twenty-meter-long flying boat, was probably worth a Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°This is a special storage pouch that the sect uses to handle large amounts of goods. Uncle Master Zheng gave me one. The daily supply of spirit stones for all the cultivators is inside this pouch,¡± said Wang with a smile, patting his waist bag. His words, however, caused a few loose cultivators in the room to stir.


    Naturally, no one dared to make a move, as aside from Wang, who was at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, there were four other disciples from the Divine Wood Sect at the late stage of Qi Cultivation. They had the situation well in hand.


    However, the sense of longing in their eyes was unavoidable.


    Chen Mobai did the math. In their group of 28, besides the five from the Divine Wood Sect, everyone else was a Loose Cultivator. There were 4, including himself, in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, 7 in the middle stage, and 12 in the early stage.


    The daily payment in spirit stones alone to keep them around would amount to 46 spirit stones a day. For a common beast attack on the island, they would probably have to stand guard for about a month, meaning there were at least a thousand spirit stones in that storage pouch.


    With such wealth on display, it was no wonder the loose cultivators were envious.


    Under Wang¡¯s command, everyone boarded the flying boat. Propelled at an extravagant cost in spirit stones, the flying boat swiftly arrived at the node of the Formation Flag they were tasked to guard.

    It was situated atop a cliff by the shore, and a ten-meter-wide plot of land, enclosed by green stones, had a bare tree planted in the center. After reading the booklet, Chen Mobai knew this to be the Formation Flag.


    The ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± was the most renowned formation of the Divine Wood Sect, which used trees as Formation Flags. The sect¡¯s main headquarters, Giant Tree Ridge, was fortified with countless Spirit Trees. Therefore, under the creeping onslaught of countless Spirit Trees, even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would not dare to invade carelessly.


    On this Green Light Island, the Divine Wood Sect had transplanted 36 Spirit Trees from the Giant Tree Ridge, and when fully activated, the power could reach Rank-3.


    This was exactly why the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect and the loose cultivators had the confidence to guard the island.


    ¡°They¡¯re coming!¡±

    No need for Manager Wang¡¯s reminder.


    Everyone, as they looked up, could see, on the horizon where the lake met the sky, it was like drops of ink had been spilled. They darkened and spread around in an instant, polluting the canvas of the sky into patches of dark, ominous clouds.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Black Plague Birds!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately recognized these demonic beasts, they were the ones who forced Qi Hou and himself to flee in fear, and were also the culprits behind Ba Jiang¡¯s sister¡¯s death.


    ¡°Indeed, these beasts are the first to arrive.¡¯


    A disciple of Divine Wood Sect, with a stern complexion, moved to the bare tree and introduced a specially formulated talisman.


    ¡°Everyone, ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡¯ will sweep around in an instant, but to prevent the beasts from detecting a pattern, as well as to guard against the attacks of Rank-2 beasts, as long as we can withstand, ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡¯ will not activate again.¡±


    Manager Wang quickly talked about the upcoming tactics. Chen Mobai understood the reasons for this strategy.


    It was written in the booklet given to him earlier.


    Since there is only one Foundation Establishment cultivator on the island for now, there will certainly be more than one Rank-2 demonic beasts on the other side. Above Green Light Island, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, capable of seriously injuring Rank-2 demonic beasts, is their last trump card.


    Thirty-six Spirit Tree Array Banners, stored with thirty-six ¡°Heavenly Wood


    Divine Light¡±.


    Once activated, if a demonic beast takes a direct hit, even a Rank-2 one, it would cost half its life, and some weaker ones would even be directly blasted into dust.


    However, once these thirty-six ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± run out, those Rank-2 demonic beasts would no longer fear, they would charge onto Green Light Island recklessly, causing carnage.


    But this ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± can be restored. The talisman that a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect just introduced into the Spirit Tree Array Banner served this purpose.


    It could allow a Spirit Tree, which has activated ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±, to quickly absorb spiritual energy from earth veins within two hours, and recharge a ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    Therefore, the battle of protecting Green Light Island hinges on whether they can deter those Rank- 2 demons with ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±, while also fending off hordes of demonic beasts as they come swarming onto the island. But the Divine Wood Sect is not lacking in competent people either, they all understand the principle of using reality to hide the illusion, and using illusion to conceal the reality.


    The moment the flock of Black Plague Birds arrived above Green Light Island, four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Lights¡± instantly soared into the sky.


    One of them was unleashed by the Spirit Tree Array Banner they were protecting.


    Boom!


    Chen Mobai could only feel a surging force, strong enough to crush him, suddenly surge from the depths of the precipice under his feet, and then being completely absorbed by the Spirit Tree surrounded by their small team.


    It was like a bolt from the blue.


    A pillar of clear light, like a sword, ripped through the void.


    Incinerating the oncoming flock of Black Plague Birds, turning thousands of them into plumes of dark red blood mist, staining half the sky red.


    Hostile!


    A sharp cry filled with anger sounded, and Chen Mobai felt a sudden vertigo.


    Once the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique was activated, he immediately regained clarity.


    However, the immortal cultivators around him who had not cultivated their divine sense leaned and staggered, Some with lower cultivation levels were even bleeding from the corners of their mouths and fell on the edge of the cliff.


    ¡°It is a Rank-2 Bird King, and there are three of them!¡±


    Manager Wang glanced at the sky, his face a mix of shock and joy.


    The power of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± was indeed extraordinary, It directly inflicted severe injuries on one of the Rank-2 Black Plague Bird Kings, causing it to tumble onto the island. One of them had half of its wing evaporated. Only the fastest one dodged the wide range sweep of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    The Rank-2 Bird King that was severely injured and fell onto the island was the one that had just unleashed its last sonic divine skills under Zheng Deming¡¯s attack, causing a significant impact on Chen Mobai and others who were not far away.


    However, it was severely injured after all. This Rank-2 Bird King was finally killed in a mournful manner under the flying sword of Zheng Deming, who was in Foundation Establishment late stage.


    But the death of this Bird King triggered a frenzy among the flock of Black Plague Birds.


    After the sweep of the four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Lights,¡± hundreds of Black Plague Birds screamed and spit out gusts of wind that turned into knives and arrows. They launched a kamikaze attack towards the west side of Green Light Island, which is where the Bird King fell.


    Prepared Chen Mobai and others immediately displayed their divine skills, some using magic artifacts, some activating talismans, and others directly using spells to attack.


    With a swish!


    Chen Mobai opened the Five Transformation Umbrella hanging from his waist, and let loose his spiritual power for this talisman artifact to soak up. A green haze covered the surface of the umbrella, shielding them from the wind knives and wind arrows falling from the sky!


    These Black Plague Birds were numerous but not very high-quality.


    Chen Mobai even had spare energy to protect the two Qi Practitioners beside him who hadn¡¯t recovered from the Bird King¡¯s sonic attack.


    After resisting the first wave of attack, Black Plague Birds began to use their sharp beaks and wings to attack them, who were guarding by the Spirit Tree. Now it could be seen the difference between big Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators. The disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were trying to protect the people with low cultivation level around them as much as possible, while most Loose Cultivators only cared for themselves, few cared for others like Chen Mobai.


    Manager Wang, who usually looks cheerful, proven to be ruthless when it comes to combat. He controlled a red flying sword to cut the five Black Plague Birds that rushed to his side into a dozen pieces.


    The other Divine Wood Sect Disciples had their own methods as well. They raised their unified black armor shield for defensively and then threw talismans.


    Thunder, frost, fire, and flames burst out in an instant, turning another twelve Black Plague Birds into corpses.


    Chen Mobai, however, reserved his power and didn¡¯t go all out. He confronted the two Black Plague Birds that rushed in front of him and threw two ¡°Coiling Talismans¡±. Instantly, two tendrils of vines emerged, blocking the two demonic beasts that caught off guard due to their fast speed.

    Then, with a flick of his left sleeve, two golden lights shot out, piercing bloody holes in the foreheads of these two Black Plague Birds.


    At this point, those Qi Practitioners who had been affected by the sonic waves also regained their senses, they either consumed elixirs or used secret techniques, then engaged in combat with the Black Plague Birds that rushed in front of them.


    Because the four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± previously swept away most of the Black Plague Birds, the ones that remained were largely restrained by the other two Bird Kings, they didn¡¯t recklessly charge and kill. The remaining flock of Black Plague Birds, due to their leader being killed, lost their sense, resulting in chaotic command.


    Chen Mobai and their group quickly dealt with nearly a hundred Black Plague Birds that had rushed into their area.


    The Black Plague Birds still circling outside the island, spat out another two rounds of wind knives and wind arrows. However, the ones that remained ultimately did not dare to charge onto the island again, they landed on a barren reef about a few miles to the west of Green Light Island, blocking one direction. After the battle, Chen Mobai glanced at the bird corpses scattered around the cliffs, and the black feathers, broken wing fragments floating on the ponds below the cliffs, as well as two Qi Practitioners bawling with their arms severed, and fell silent..

    Translator: 549690339


    A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect immediately took out a prepared ¡°Renewal Talisman¡± from his storage bag and reconnected the arms of the two Qi Practitioners.


    ¡°It¡¯s our first time in battle and everyone is still quite inexperienced, but it¡¯s great that no one died,¡±


    Manager Wang indicated for the two injured Qi Practitioners to rest. If they wanted to continue in the battle, they could return and the Spirit Stones reward would still be available.


    One of them immediately shook his head, indicating that he didn¡¯t want to participate in the battle anymore.


    The other one hesitated, feeling that he was unprepared this time. He was certain that he wouldn¡¯t get injured again if the same situation occurred next time. So, he decided to stay.


    As for the one who left, Manager Wang was gracious. He not only had one of his disciples send him back with the Flying Boat, but also gave him two more ¡°Renewal Talismans¡±.


    Meanwhile, the practitioner who stayed received five ¡°Renewal Talismans¡± and even an additional Spirit Stone as consolation.


    Both of these are at Level-3 Qi Cultivation, which is rather low.


    Manager Wang¡¯s spending spree to reward minor contributions slightly eased the downcast mood caused by the injury.


    ¡°After this battle, I noticed some problems with our coordination. Why don¡¯t we split into teams?¡±


    Manager Wang, whose full name is Wang Yuanwu, demonstrated his impressive skills during the battle. Everyone had faith in his capabilities, hence they all agreed to his proposal of dividing the 27 remaining people into five smaller teams.


    A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect would lead each team, while the rest of the participants could freely form their own teams according to preference.


    Chen Mobai was invited to join Wang Yuanwu¡¯s team, along with three independent cultivators, one of whom was Gao Tuo who decided to stay after being injured.


    The other two members of the team were a pair of fellow cultivators.


    The male was named Shi Pengyi and was at Level-5 Qi Cultivation.


    The female was named Luo Lin and was at Level-3 Qi Cultivation.


    They were from a small cultivation sect and were the two that Chen Mobai had protected earlier. They had volunteered to join this team.


    Wang Yuanwu agreed without much further discussion.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I can¡¯t thank you enough. If it weren¡¯t for you, my fellow cultivator and I might have gotten hurt,¡± Luo Lin said.


    Luo Lin was only in her early twenties, although her clothes had been stained with blood, her bright eyes and white teeth, along with her attractive features, added a touch of beauty to their team.


    If only her cultivation level was higher, she would probably have a lot of admirers.


    Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm are very realistic, even when choosing a cultivation partner, they seek someone with a similar talent and cultivation level.


    This way, they can mutually promote each other and have a positive effect.


    Especially since after reaching the Divine Sense stage, their desire for physical beauty decreases dramatically. Of course, this doesn¡¯t apply to those who particularly enjoy such pleasures of the senses.


    ¡°It was nothing, there¡¯s no need for excessive formalities,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Wang Yuanwu waited for his junior brother who was sending people back to return, gave the remaining five independent cultivators to him, and then walked over to his own team.


    He first comforted Gao Tuo, who was injured, then asked each person to introduce their skills and magic artifacts to form a preliminary coordination plan for the team¡¯s future battles.


    Shi Pengyi possessed a Flying Sword inherited from his sect and five talismans. He was skilled in swordsmanship.


    Luo Lin, a fellow practitioner from the same sect, practiced the same Cultivation Technique but didn¡¯t possess a Flying Sword. She only had a Defensive Magic Weapon made from the shell of a Black Armored Turtle, which she bought from the Green Light Island Market.


    Gao Tuo, on the other hand, despite being a solo cultivator, had a hook-shaped Magic Artifact, a Hand Crossbow and eighteen Spirit Arrows. Each arrow was powerful enough to kill a cultivator below Level-3 Qi Cultivation.


    Surprisingly, Gao Tuo¡¯s wealth seemed to surpass Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, which might explain why he dared to stay even after his unsuccessful cultivation.


    ¡°I have a few talisman, one offensive and one defensive Magic Artifact,¡± Chen Mobai said, conservatively commenting on his equipment. He had just used an umbrella to block a barrage of wind blade and wind arrow attacks and a Flying Needle to kill two Black Plague Birds.


    Shi Pengyi and Brother and Sister Luo Lin had previously seen his equipment and knew it was exceptional.


    ¡°Friend Chen, how many talismans do you have on you?¡±


    Wang Yuanwu asked the most crucial question.


    After the battle started, talismans would become consumables; use one less one. He needed to know the precise number to grasp their actual fighting strength on their side.


    ¡°Well, I did not count them specifically, probably dozens of them.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated and still didn¡¯t tell the truth.


    But even so, it surprised the cultivators of this squad. Wang Yuanwu, as the leader of this team guarding the Spiritual Tree Array Banners, also only had about eighty talismans, including those distributed by the sect.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Friend Chen. I will keep in mind the talismans you consume in battle, and once the demonic beasts are repelled, I will apply to the sect to compensate you.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai very comfortable. After all, he was receiving five Spirit Stones as daily wages. The loss of talismans during battle already included that.


    But to lift the team¡¯s morale, Wang Yuanwu was generous, or perhaps it was the sect that paid the spirit stones, and he was just saying it.


    ¡°During our team¡¯s fight, Friend Chen and I will take the lead and end, and the other three Friends will be positioned between us. Will this work?¡±


    As it was their first time cooperating and they lacked mutual understanding, this straightforward tactic was perfect.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and the other three immediately nodded their agreement.


    At that moment.


    With a ¡°swoosh¡± sound!


    A talisman flew towards Wang Yuanwu. His face changed slightly, and he immediately caught it.


    ¡°Prepare for battle, many Water Serpent Bulls and Black Armored Turtles have been detected in the east-side water pool of the island. These Black Plague Birds may cooperate with them and attack the island.¡±


    After reading the information contained in the talisman, Wang Yuanwu immediately shouted out loud.


    All the cultivators that were originally resting began to move without hesitation, each stuffing a pill that could restore spiritual power into their mouths.


    Afterward, everyone stood in their assigned positions around the Spirit Tree according to newly formed squads, effectively occupying all areas of this cliff.


    A rumbling noise!


    On the east side of Green Light Island, five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light, like divine swords stretching toward the sky, heavily struck the surface of the boundless pool. This caused enormous waves, carrying countless carcasses of demonic beasts to the shore.


    Not far away, nearly a thousand remaining Black Plague Birds rose from the wasteland, spreading wide. With angry, piercing screams, they started to roll towards this side.


    ¡°These damn beasts really don¡¯t fear death!¡±


    One of the Loose Cultivators spat and then picked up a Black Armor Shield, imbuing it with spiritual power and positioning it at the front of their team.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, surprised that these casualties at this magnitude did not cause the Black Plague Birds to shrink back in fear. Or perhaps the death of their king made these demonic beasts go utterly mad.


    Regardless, the most important thing now was to deal with this upcoming battle.


    In this area, they still had five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light left unused.

    But Wang Yuanwu had stated earlier that unless a Rank-2 demonic beast attacked or their western line came close to collapsing, they absolutely would not use them again.


    That is to say, they at least needed to hold on for two hours while the Spiritual Tree Array Banners recharged.


    ¡°Protect yourselves well, and leave the protection of the Spirit Tree to Manager Wang and me.¡±


    Chen Mobai reminded the three people stationed between him and Wang Yuanwu. After that, he pinched four Green Arrow Talismans with his right hand and, stimulated by spiritual power, flung them into mid-air.


    A total of 24 green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared behind him from thin air..

 Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Lingye_l

    Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Lingye_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai spread his five fingers toward the void.


    In the humming sound.


    The green spirit qi long arrow emerging from the void behind him burst out in an instant.


    Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!


    The five black plague birds that had just rushed up the cliff were repelled, followed by the explosion of green arrows, shattering them into puffs of blood mist.


    Whir!


    On the other side, Wang Yuanwu also unleashed his fury, his fire red flying sword danced like flames, directing its violent spiritual power towards a flock of black plague birds in the sky. In no time, several demonic beasts that could not evade were turned into charcoal.


    The trio of Gao Tuo each launched their own attacks.


    A crossbow arrow flew out accurately killing a black plague bird. However, there was no time to reload after that. Gao Tuo could only drag his freshly reattached, stiff and barely movable right hand and command his hook-shaped magic artifact to fight against the black plague bird right in front of him.


    Fortunately, there was Shi Pengyi¡¯s brother and sister on his side.


    Luo Lin held a black armor shield, her lithe form easily helping them to block the Gale Arrow spewed out from the mouth of the black plague bird.


    Shi Pengyi displayed the strength of a fifth level Qi Cultivation. A purple flying sword under his control, moved back and forth like a lightning bolt, suppressing and killing the black plague birds that had bypassed Chen Mobai and Wang Yuanwu.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, then completely released the remaining 18 spirit arrows from behind him.


    Within the thunderous sounds.


    The sky above the cliff in their area was completely cleared in an instant.


    ¡°The Rank-2 ones are coming!¡±


    As everyone was taking a sigh of relief, Wang Yuanwu¡¯s face turned serious.


    To his shock, Chen Mobai looked up into the sky beyond Green Light Island, and sure enough, two giant birds, three to four times larger than the ordinary black plague birds, appeared in the clouds. One of them, a Black Plague Bird King, only had one wing left. Its eyes were bright red, coldly staring at them.


    Previously, it was the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± emitted from the Spirit Tree they were guarding that evaporated its wing, almost knocking it out of the sky.


    ¡°Everyone be alert, protect yourselves.¡±


    ¡°There are still five strands of Sacred Tree Divine Light left on the West Bank. After the bird king lost one wing, the remaining two, without full confidence, absolutely dare not get close.¡±


    ¡°But next, we may have to face the direct guards of black plague birds equivalent to the late stages of Qi Cultivation around the Bird King. But no matter how dangerous, we absolutely cannot let our front lines fall.¡±


    Seeing our Spirit tree eyed by the Bird King, Wang Yuanwu couldn¡¯t help but sweat from the brow. However, his extensive experiences serve him well. Despite the tremendous pressure, he carefully assessed the situation and gave orders.


    Amid the roar.


    As expected, a group of large birds, twice the size of ordinary black plague birds, left the side of the bird king, riding the wind toward them.


    Boom!


    Before the big bird arrived, a huge tornado began forming on the shore, stirring up the violent waves, pushing it towards the Spirit Tree on the cliff.


    Those two bird kings were using their innate divine ability to apply pressure on behalf of their direct guards, while also testing whether Green Light Island still had a trump card.


    Seeing this giant tornado, which was so large that it could sweep over the entire cliff where they were standing, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but change his expression.


    He gripped his last trump card, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    But he first looked at Wang Yuanwu, sure enough, even he had a Rank-2 spirit talisman, and this leader of the Divine Wood sect definitely had more up his sleeve.


    Wang Yuanwu grit his teeth and nodded at an other disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. The latter immediately took out a charm and injected it into the Spirit Tree.


    Whoosh!


    As if a gentle breeze had passed, right after the charm was injected, a branch of the previously bare spirit tree emitted a clear glow. In the blink of an eye, a green bud sprouted, then rapidly grew into a palm-sized leaf.


    Wang Yuanwu flicked his flying sword and the green leaf was cut down.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    After taking a healing pill that restored his spiritual power, a Divine Wood Sect disciple imbued all his spiritual power into the cut green leaf. Instantly, a clear light shone dramatically, forming a huge light shield that covered the entire cliff.


    Just then, two rank-2 bird kings unleashed a massive tornado, bringing a storm with it.


    Boom boom boom!


    Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, Chen Mobai braced himself with the wooden umbrella in his hand, stabilising his figure.


    [The functions of this Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation are quite diverse!]


    This thought crossed his mind. He wondered if there were any other functions besides the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and the Green Leaf Light Shield?


    ¡°The big birds are coming, a total of 20. Each team takes on four, those in the later stage of Qi cultivation go first. The remaining Black Plague Birds are handled by the other members of each team, remember to protect yourselves!¡± Wang Yuanwu quickly delegated the tasks and was the first to act. He swung his Fire Red Flying Sword, enclosing the three big birds flying in front.


    Chen Mobai gritted his teeth, selecting one of the big birds.


    However, seeing the almost hundred ordinary Black Plague Birds led by these big birds, he feared that the other members of the team might not be able to handle them. Before engaging the big bird in battle, he unleashed four Green Arrow Talismans again.


    Amidst the resounding bangs¨C


    The big bird in front of Chen Mobai spewed out a gust of wind, directly shattering the green spirit Qi long arrows. But the remaining 23 targeted a large flock of Black Plague Birds rushing from its side.


    Blood splattered, black feathers flying.


    After clearing out once, Chen Mobai held his wooden umbrella, facing off against this Black Plague Bird that was a full meter in size.


    Humming!


    Two green wind blades extended from the Black Plague Bird¡¯s fluttering wings, like two crescent moon blades, striking down towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head from different directions.


    The umbrella opened!


    The mist that wrapped around the umbrella seemed to struggle under the impact of the wind blades, exploding and partially collapsing, but ultimately, it dissolved the attack.


    ¡°Good thing these big birds, while strong in bloodlines, don¡¯t understand cultivation. Their spell power hasn¡¯t exceeded the limits of the wooden umbrella.¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s expertise in treasure appraisal is trustworthy. He said that this defensive magic artifact could handle an attack from a late-stage Qi cultivator.


    It was able to withstand the Black Plague Bird, clearly at the peak of rank-1.


    But it seemed to be its limit.


    Chen Mobai looked at the two streaks of damage on the umbrella after he retracted it, deciding that he would primarily dodge in the next phase of the fight.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t Wang Yuanwu, who was at the peak of Qi cultivation, had exceptional swordsmanship, extensive battle experience, and had talismans and magic artifacts provided by the Divine Wood Sect. He could take on three big birds alone without falling behind.


    Roar!


    After the two wind blades were dissolved, the big bird spat out a series of Gale Arrows. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to hard block them with the wooden umbrella again, so he threw out two Wooden Shield charms.

    However, how could a lower-grade rank-1 talisman possibly block the Gale Arrows of the big bird? In just two breaths, the two wooden shields floating in mid-air crumbled and disappeared into spirit Qi.


    However, Chen Mobai had taken advantage of this time to move to another location.


    The Gale Arrows fell void, stirring up a cloud of dust on the cliff.


    At this point, all five teams had begun to fight. However, not everyone was powerful or lucky. Soon Chen Mobai heard a terrifying scream.


    Someone had died..

    Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Black Feather Shield_l


    Translator: 549690339


    However, Chen Mobai no longer had the spare attention to focus on others. He concentrated wholeheartedly on the large bird hovering in mid-air,


    Zi zi zi!


    As dust flew, six earth-yellow flying needles shot out from Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, aimed at the fast approaching bird.


    Ding ding ding!


    A Rank-1 peak demonic beast, the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had faced since he arrived in the Tianhe Realm.


    When the six flying needles reached the bird, black feathers stood up on its body, forming a spiritual power shield, deflecting the needles.


    [Its wings can unleash wind blades, its mouth can spit wind arrows, the feathers covering its body have been cultivated into a kind of defensive shield. The most likely weak points are its eyes and claws.]


    Though Chen Mobai had limited combat experience, he seemed to have a unique natural talent, quickly growing amidst fierce battles.


    He tested the power of the wind blades with his Five Elements umbrella, used the flying needles to trigger the Black Feather Shield, already forming data about the bird¡¯s battle capabilities and innate divine ability.


    [Let¡¯s test it.]


    Chen Mobai watched the black bird with red eyes charge toward him ferociously, spiritual power rotating, he activated two Wooden Shield charms.


    The green wooden shield only held up for a moment before it was shattered by the wind blade. But the Five Elements umbrella opened in time, absorbing two weakened wind blades head on, draining a considerable amount of spiritual power.


    Although using talisman consumes little spiritual power, he couldn¡¯t sustain it if he used too many.


    Up till now, Chen Mobai had thrown out nearly twenty talismans.


    And, the Five Elements umbrella, a talisman instrument, consumed more spiritual power than he had anticipated.


    No wonder it was so cheap.


    Chen Mobai estimated his remaining spiritual power, which was less than 70%. He decided to use the Five Elements umbrella sparingly in the future.


    At this moment, the Black Plague Bird charged at him ferociously once again.


    Instantly, he threw out a Green Arrow Talisman and a Coiling Talisman, then from his sleeve, four flying needles shot out. With a piercing sound, they accurately targeted the bird¡¯s eyes and claw palms.


    A loud cry echoed.


    The bird¡¯s black feathers stood upright, a spiritual power shield appeared again, but it closed its eyes, curling up its claws.


    All spirit Qi long arrows and flying needles were blocked by the Black Feather spiritual power shield. Only the Coiling Talisman had an effect, restraining the bird with vines that sprang from the cliff rocks. It barely managed to hold for an instant before the bird chopped it into several pieces with its wing.


    [As expected, I am correct.]


    Chen Mobai was elated at the sight. The Black Plague Bird deliberately avoided its eyes and claw palms from getting attacked.


    The weak points of the Black Feather Shield should be these four places.


    At this point, another scream echoed in his ears. It seemed that another cultivator was seriously injured.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to operate the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, suppressing all his strange emotions and focusing completely on the battle with the monster at hand.


    He uncapped a bottle of Dark Water from his pocket and took a breath, mobilizing his spiritual power to Level 12.


    The ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± was ready to go.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai threw out ten Coiling Talismans and ten Poison Talismans all at once. Ten vine branches drilled into the rocks of the cliff on one end and wrapped around the body of the Black Plague Bird, which had been predictably charging in a straight line, at the other end.


    Just as the bird was about to flap its wings to cut off these restraints, it suddenly felt its bones soften and movements stiffen.


    The Poison Talisman doesn¡¯t actually contain poison. Instead, it manipulates the enemy¡¯s internal Wood Qi, causing an imbalance in the five elements that were originally in equilibrium.


    This talisman is not lethal. One just needs to sit in meditation for a while to recover.


    But Chen Mobai sought exactly this moment of stiffness.


    With a breath, the last two Flying Needles in the Needle box fell before him. All the Dark Water formed two spiral ice spears around the Flying Needles, which then shot out at their fastest speed, impaling the immobilized Bird¡¯s eyes.


    Malicious!


    Even by timely closing its eyes and employing the Black Feather Shield, the Black Plague Bird¡¯s eyelids were pierced by the ice spears under Chen Mobai¡¯s full-force Cold Ice Technique, causing an unprecedented shrill scream.


    The raging demonic energy made the Bird shatter ten vines instantaneously. Constantly fluttering, it let loose a flurry of Wind Blades in all directions. The incoming Green Arrow Talismans were shattered in the process.


    Whoosh!


    Faced with this wide-ranging attack, Chen Mobai had no choice but to open the Five Transformations Umbrella again. After dissolving a Wind Blade, he risked depleting his Spiritual Power and melted the ice spears back into Dark Water using the Water Controlling Technique.


    The ten Flying Needles scattered by the Black Feather Shield, drawn by the magnetism of the Needle box, once again converged before him.


    Whew!


    The Cold Ice Technique was launched again, ten slightly smaller but more slender and sharp ice spears buzzed and pierced the Black Plague Bird, whose entire body had now become bloodied sockets.


    Having exhausted its Spiritual Power in the last outbreak, the Bird couldn¡¯t summon the Black Feather Shield against this wave of attack.


    It gave a mournful scream, was penetrated by the ten ice spears, and fell from the mid-air onto the cliff.


    However, just before dying, the Bird exploded with a sonic attack similar to the dead Bird king¡¯s, causing all the cultivators on the cliff to shudder.


    Finally, it ended!


    Chen Mobai resisted the dizziness from the sonic attack, felt the less than half remaining Spiritual Power in his Dantian, smiled bitterly, and immediately motivated a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±.


    In an instant, all the negative impacts from the sonic wave disappeared. Moreover, the Spiritual Power in the Dantian, like water from a spring, began to flow out slowly.


    Chen Mobai estimated that he could recover about ten percent of his Spiritual Power every minute. He expected to be fully recovered in about ten minutes¡¯ time.


    This was his first use of the ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±. The feeling of replenishment after the Dantian was drained was quite novel.


    By now, he finally had the opportunity to observe the rest of the battlefield.


    Wang Yuanwu was single-handedly fighting against three, and in addition to his Red Sword, he had now brought out a Rank-1 shield. He had already killed a Bird, but it might take him some effort to fully eliminate them.


    Gao Tuo and the others were engaged in a tough battle.


    But Chen Mobai only glanced briefly before turning his attention. Near the cliff, the bodies of three cultivators lay about. A small team was about to collapse.


    However, there was one small team that had achieved considerable results, having jointly killed two Birds. A late-stage Qi Cultivator was available to lend assistance.


    Chen Mobai and he exchanged glances, nodded, and then moved to help the small team that had lost three cultivators.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Boom! Boom!


    At this moment, eight beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light exploded simultaneously on both the southern and northern shores of Green Light Island!


    The deep thunderous crashes accompanied the staggering demonic energy. Countless demonic beasts were ready to kill.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face turned pale!


    He didn¡¯t expect that the battle to protect the island would reach the most intense stage on the first day itself..

 Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Three Sword Lights (Seeking First

    Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Three Sword Lights (Seeking First


    Order)_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Eight crystal clear divine lights, like massive swords, split the surface of the lake.


    Astonishing demonic aura erupted, with two powerful demonic beasts managing to withstand the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and rushing onto Green Light Island.


    Zheng Deming blocked one of the Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    However, no one could stop the muscular demonic beast with two horns, a humanoid upper body, and a serpent lower body. A small team of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners fought to push it back into the water, but even with their magic artifacts and talisman scripts all put to use, they only managed to force it three steps back.


    The cost was the complete annihilation of the Divine Wood Sect cultivators in the team.


    ¡°Not good, the demonic beasts have made it to the island, it¡¯s not good to use the Heavenly Wood Divine Light now,¡± Wang Yuanwu, who had just slain three Black Plague Birds, turned around anxiously after seeing on the southern shore of Green Light Island the powerful beast that had broken through the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s defense line and destroyed a Spirit Tree Array Banner.


    [Can¡¯t the Heavenly Wood Divine Light be launched within the covered area of the formation? Or is it feared that its might is too big and will damage the spirit vein on the island, affecting our people?]


    Listening to Wang Yuanwu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai, while teaming up with others to deal with two Black Plague birds, was secretly mulling it over in his heart.


    During their anxious moments, suddenly, three powerful sword lights shot out from the teleportation array within Green Light Island, simultaneously plunging into various parts of the muscular beast¡¯s body.


    Then, in an instant, the sword lights shone brightly, cutting the nearly invincible beast into more than ten pieces.


    ¡°Have the elders from our Sect arrived?¡±


    Seeing this, Wang Yuanwu was both surprised and overjoyed.


    After a moment of astonishment, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression cleared.


    Yes, as one of the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, Divine Wood Sect has quite a few Foundation Establishment masters. Given the onslaught of demonic beasts on Green Light Island, they¡¯d definitely send people to help with the defense.


    Holding the teleportation array, it¡¯s possible that even Core Formation cultivators could show up at the critical moment.


    Perhaps these reinforcement elders have already arrived, just waiting for the Rank-2 demonic beasts to set foot on the island and fall into the trap.


    Sure enough, after these three sword lights killed the half-human, half-serpent beast, they turned towards the other Rank-2 demonic beast that was fiercely battling with Zheng Deming. Seeing its predicament, the beast tried to escape, but the trapping function of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation activated, slowing down its movements.


    Three sword lights crisscrossed forth and back in pursuit, working with Zheng Deming, with all four Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking simultaneously.


    Amid the splattered blood, they managed to kill the demonic beast on the island in merely the time taken to brew a cup of tea.


    Only then did Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    He had thought of running away when the demonic beasts were wreaking havoc on the island.


    Just as the beasts on the island were being slain, the two Black Plague Bird Kings circling above the water on their west wing let out a clear cry.


    It seemed like a signal to retreat.


    Then, the large birds, which were still attacking Chen Mobai and his group, spat out a large series of Gale Arrows. From cliff to sea, they washed over them like a storm, before collectively flying into the sky. They led the surviving flock of Black Plague Birds and left Green Light Island.


    ¡°Kill as many as possible, and reduce the burden for future battles,¡± Wang Yuanwu, with a resolute face, said as he chased the last Black Plague Birds with his Flying Sword.


    The remaining cultivators on the cliff also sent a flurry of crossbow arrow talismans, coordinating their attack.


    Chen Mobai teamed up with the late-stage Qi Practitioner, and took the opportunity to kill a large bird. Then he threw two Green Arrow Talismans, knocking down three escaping Black Plague Birds.


    But they were all sensible people and didn¡¯t leave the cliff area to pursue them.


    When the Black Plague Birds were completely out of their attack range, everyone finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.


    Yet, the atmosphere was still a bit heavy.


    On just the first day of defending the island, five cultivators had forever closed their eyes.


    ¡°Junior Brother Qi, please cremate these five comrades. After the war, we will return their remains according to the roster to their families. If they have no family, we will find a good Feng Shui spot on the island for their burial,¡± said Wang Yuanwu to a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, who immediately nodded in acknowledgment.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s emotions were very complex.


    Because one member of his team had also sacrificed their life.


    It was Gao Tuo who had been injured on his arm before. In such a battle, his Level-3 Qi cultivation was clearly inadequate.


    Even Luo Lin, who was at the same cultivation level and under the care of Shi Pengyi, had turned pale with one of her arms drooping.


    She had been using the Black Armor Shield to resist the Gale Arrows of the Black Plague Birds. Not only was her spiritual power exhausted, but her right hand could not bear the strain and was broken. If these birds attacked again, she would likely die.


    Renewal talismans were distributed to each cultivator.


    Chen Mobai received both a Consciousness Talisman and a Life Recovery Talisman. After he took them, he went to Gao Tuo¡¯s body and closed his still open eyes.


    Watching the blazing fire swallow up the five cultivators who had been laughing and talking before, Chen Mobai felt lost.


    Is this what war is like?


    Having lived on Earth from a young age, he had never experienced such a situation where people in their prime would be parted forever.


    He looked at the other surviving cultivators. While their faces held sorrow, their eyes revealed a sense of familiarity with the situation.


    The life of cultivators in this world was really hard.


    Chen Mobai thought this way in his heart, but he couldn¡¯t say it out loud.


    All he could do was stand by the cremation and watch Gao Tuo¡¯s body disappear, turning into ashes.


    ¡°Chen, my friend, we may need to rearrange our teams,¡± said Wang Yuanwu.


    ¡°Whatever you arrange, I have no objections,¡± Chen Mobai nodded slightly, not wanting Wang Yuanwu to notice that his emotions were a bit different from theirs.


    ¡°Well, four comrades have decided not to participate in the defense due to severe injuries, leaving us with only 18 people,¡± he continued.


    ¡°I plan to split us into four small teams, each with four comrades. Junior Brother Liu and I will act as mobile support, ready to assist you at any time during the battles.¡±


    ¡°You, Shi Peng and Luo Lin will remain a team, and after I leave, Junior Brother Qi will join you,¡± Wang Yuanwu suggested, demonstrating his careful thought, to which Chen Mobai agreed.


    Junior Brother Liu was the Divine Wood Sect disciple who could manipulate the Spiritual Tree Array Banners with talismans, and he was rumored to be an Array Master. Having him and Wang Yuanwu in charge would undoubtedly give them a greater sense of security.


    As for Junior Brother Qi, he was a sturdily built cultivator with a square face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had just cooperated with him to kill a Black Plague Bird, and their coordination was quite good.


    At the edge of a cliff, the newly formed teams gathered together.


    Luo Lin, with a trace of color returning to her face, tested moving her blood, her broken bones reconnected by the effects of the Renewal Talisman.


    Shi Pengyi, however, was meditating beside her, fervently taking every opportunity to cultivate.


    ¡°My name is Qi Rui. I practice the Red Flame Sword Technique, and I am also a Talisman Maker,¡± introduced the new disciple from Divine Wood Sect..

 Chapter 94 - Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Orthodox Foundation Building

    Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Orthodox Foundation Building


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Qi Rui, when I was out hunting demonic beasts with Qi Hou, I saw him use a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. It was extremely powerful,¡± said Chen Mobai after hearing Qi Rui¡¯s introduction, which immediately sparked his interest in the subject.


    Qi Hou? He is a candidate for being a true disciple of our Divine Wood Sect. There¡¯s a chance he may receive a Foundation Building Pill from the next batch if there are extras,¡± Qi Rui explained, admiration evident on his face as he mentioned Qi Hou.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t the Foundation Building Pills of the Divine Wood Sect simply exchanged for enough contribution points?¡± said Chen Mobai, noticing Qi Rui seemed open for conversation and attempting to learn more about the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that simple. To concoct an orthodox Foundation Building Pill, a millennial Golden Jade Ganoderma is needed. Our Divine Wood Sect inherited the largest medicinal garden, Giant Tree Ridge, from the Five Elements Sect. Thanks to the foresight of our forefathers, we have a significant number of ganoderma planted, but we can only harvest about ten mature millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma every decade,¡± explained Qi Rui.


    In theory, you can produce ten pills from one concoction of the orthodox Foundation Building Pill. If we get eight or nine, then we are already very fortunate. During the time when the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff split from the Five Elements Sect, it had been agreed that every time the Golden Jade Ganoderma matures, Golden Cliff would receive three,¡± he added. ¡°After the split, the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff fought with the remaining three branches of the Five Elements Sect for twenty years. Eventually, everyone got tired of fighting. We agreed to cease battles. One of the conditions for the Five Elements Sect to recognize the independence of our Divine Wood Sect was that whenever the Golden Jade Ganoderma in Giant Tree Ridge matures, they also get three,¡± he explained.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pills of all three sects are concocted by the Back to Sky Valley. After each batch, regardless of the quantity produced, the Valley takes one pill. In a decade, our Divine Wood Sect would be able to stock about 30 Foundation Building Pills in the warehouse,¡± Qi Rui added.


    ¡°There are at least a hundred disciples in the Divine Wood Sect of the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. To be as fair as possible, these 30 Foundation Building Pills should be distributed through contribution points. One can exchange their contribution points for one, but the more contribution points you have, the higher the probability you can get one,¡± he informed.


    These basic sect-knowledge were simple to disciples from the Divine Wood Sect but were precious knowledge to Chen Mobai and Shi Pengyi, who listened with great interest.


    ¡°Golden Jade Ganoderma¡± must be Tianhe Realm¡¯s term. Over at Di Yuan star, it¡¯s called Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom. Quite similar, thought Chen Mobai as Qi Rui started explaining the ranking of the true disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, which was actually the order of obtaining the Foundation Building Pills.    5


    Though Qi Hou wasn¡¯t in the list of top twenty-four true disciples, he had a rather profound cultivation level and he was also a disciple of a Foundation Establishment elder with the surname Xi in the Divine Wood Sect. If there are extras from the next batch of Foundation Building Pills, he could possibly be prioritized.


    The elder named Xi.


    Chen Mobai remembered a quite delicate youth named Xi, who was likely the blood descendant of that elder.


    No wonder Qi Hou was willing to take him into Yun Meng Ze for training. They were fellow disciples.


    ¡°Qi Dao friend, I heard that besides using millennial Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient, there¡¯s another method to concoct Foundation Building Pill,¡± Luo Lm suddenly asked a question which Chen Mobai had great interest in.


    ¡®Right, using the Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient is the orthodox way to concoct the Foundation Building Pill. There¡¯s another way which is using a demonic beast¡¯s inner core. But this method has a low success rate and the beasts capable of forming the inner core are usually at least Rank-2 at their peak, making them extremely difficult to hunt,¡± replied Qi Rui, nodding.


    Chen Mobai was hearing this for the first time and asked with great interest. It was usual for him as a loose cultivator to be unaware of such details, and the other three in their group had no reason to suspect otherwise. Both Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin also heard this from their masters.


    Their small sect¡¯s Grandmaster had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment level by taking a Foundation Building Pill made from the inner core of a demonic beast. He then recorded this experience in the sect¡¯s secret chronicles, and his story has been passed down to this day.


    ¡°The two demonic beasts that were killed on Green Light Island this time, I feel they were both at the peak of Rank-2, and perhaps they have already formed their inner cores. If that is true, then there might be a few extra Foundation Building Pills in this batch.¡±


    As Qi Rui said this, he was somewhat envious. However, his Cultivation Level was merely at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. Even if he does accumulate enough contribution points, he might not necessarily qualify when the time comes.


    ¡°Is there a difference between a Foundation Building Pill made from a demonic beast s inner core and a traditional Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    ¡°There is a difference, but the effects are similar. However, one such batch can only produce two or three pills at the most, and the auxiliary ingredients cannot be short of any. It is a bit uneconomical.¡± As he said this, Qi Rui couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°Back to Sky Valley is reluctant to refine this type of Foundation Building Pill, as refining it will delay an alchemist¡¯s Cultivation Level for a year. Given the same amount of time, they would rather refine traditional Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    However, it is precisely because of this that the other alchemists of the Eastern Wilderness have a value proposition.


    Back to Sky Valley may be unwilling to refine Foundation Building Pills with the demonic beast¡¯s inner core as the main ingredient, but other alchemists are eager for it.


    The main goal of the East Wilderness Major Sect and even the Immortal Cultivation clans in training their own alchemists is ultimately in order to refine such Foundation Building Pills.


    However, after listening to their conversation, Chen Mobai felt that the decision-makers of Back to Sky Valley were far-sighted.


    After all, if they really monopolized the refinement of Foundation Building Pills, it¡¯s likely that Back to Sky Valley¡¯s status wouldn¡¯t be so transcendental as it is now. They would definitely be targeted by the other six major sects, and might even face destruction.


    ¡°Qi Daoist friend, do you know when the next batch of Golden Jade Ganoderma in the Divine Wood Sect will mature?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question, drawing the curious gazes of the rest of the team.


    Ahem, Daoist friend, you may not be able to wait for it. The Golden Jade Ganoderma matured this year and has already been sent to Back to Sky Valley. The new disciples will join next year, which is when this batch of Foundation Building Pills will enter the sect¡¯s storehouse, ready for exchange.¡± Qi Rui understood Chen Mobai¡¯s implications and somberly spoke.


    The Divine Wood Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, which coincides with the time it takes to refine Foundation Building Pills. They do this to ensure that each generation¡¯s succession is orderly.


    Even though Chen Mobai is an exceptional talent, he would have to wait for the next ten years to compete for those Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°What about the Foundation Building Pills made from the inner core of the demonic beast?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about this, and continued to ask.


    The three seniors who came to the rescue, judging by the Sword Light, two of them are likely teachers from Golden Cliff. The inner cores of the two peak Rank-2 demonic beasts that were killed today will probably be evenly distributed, with one going to them. The remains of this batch should produce two Foundation Building Pills, but among all the disciples in the sect who have enough contribution points, there are at least twenty to thirty senior brothers and sisters waiting after the twenty-four true Disciples.¡±

    As Qi Rui spoke these words, he too sighed slightly.


    He was also aiming for the batch of traditional Foundation Building Pills ten years from now. However, even if he attains Qi Cultivation Perfection by then, he might not be able to compete with these experienced senior brothers and sisters.


    ¡°Has there been any exceptions? Like someone who upon joining the sect immediately assured a Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with reluctance.


    It¡¯s not unheard of. Ten years ago, when we were recruiting disciples, we took in a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root from a small sect. Our respected elder came out of seclusion personally and awarded this disciple a Foundation Building Pill..¡±

 Chapter 95 - Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Dual Phase Power_l

    Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Dual Phase Power_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Heavenly Spiritual Root!


    At this point, Chen Mobai fell into silent contemplation.


    He thought of the unused Wood Spiritual Talisman he had stowed away, an idea sparked in his mind, but immediately he mocked himself for his fanciful thinking.


    ¡°Friend Qi, I wonder when this battle for the island will end. Although I have already reached Qi Cultivation seventh layer, my combative methods are still lacking. Do you have any spare Crimson Flame Sword Talismans to sell me?¡± After a bit of conversation, Chen Mobai once again returned to their initial topic.


    The Crimson Flame Sword Talisman was powerful, Qi Rui had used one in the battle just now, slaying a Black Plague Bird.


    Moreover, it had directly shattered the Black Feather Shield.


    In comparison to Chen Mobai, who had to exhaust all means, including his cultivation techniques and the assistance of the Cold Ice Technique, Qi Rui seemed at ease.


    ¡°You¡¯ve asked the right person. In our sect, besides completing tasks, I rely on making talismans to earn Spirit Stones.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s eyes brightened, and he immediately pulled out three Crimson Flame Sword Talismans from his storage bag.


    ¡°One talisman costs 8 Spirit Stones within our sect, but it¡¯s sold for 10 Spirit Stones in the Fang Market shops. I¡¯ll give you the internal price. How many do you want?¡±


    ¡°I can only afford one.¡±


    Chen Mobai rummaged through his bag and reluctantly took out eight Spirit Stones.


    Qi Rui accepted them with a laugh, handed him one Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, and carefully explained the essentials and techniques of using it.


    ¡°I heard there are also dual-sword and triple-sword talismans, what are their prices?¡±


    After buying one, Chen Mobai asked about what truly concerned him. Upon hearing this, Qi Rui actually began earnestly advising him.


    ¡°A single-sword talisman costs 8 Spirit Stones, but a dual-sword talisman costs 20, and a triple-sword talisman is as high as 80 Spirit Stones. It¡¯s completely not worth for us Qi Practitioners to invest that much.¡±


    ¡°A dual-sword talisman basically seals two Crimson Flame Sword Lights. The complexity and difficulty of its creation are several times greater than a single-sword talisman. Generally, even if we have the ability, we wouldn¡¯t create dual-sword talismans. They aren¡¯t easy to sell, and the possibility of failure is high. It¡¯s easy for the investment in a talisman to go down the drain.¡± ¡°Moreover, a dual-sword talisman¡¯s power hasn¡¯t fundamentally changed. It just seals an additional sword light. Using two single-sword talismans is the same as using a dual-sword talisman, only it¡¯s cheaper.¡±


    ¡°As for the triple-sword talisman, since it can form a small sword array, it¡¯s worth it if you¡¯re able to create it. But, a triple-sword talisman, even though it is classified as Rank-1 premium grade, actually requires a Rank-2 Talisman Maker to truly craft it. I don¡¯t have the capability to do that.¡±


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why only single-sword talismans were sold in the market.


    Dual-sword talismans are simply not cost-effective.


    And triple-sword talismans require too high of a crafting requirement. Even though they¡¯re classified as Rank-1 premium grade, they will be displayed on Rank-2 counters, usually only being purchased by Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°That¡¯s a pity, I actually wanted to buy a triple-sword talisman to study.¡±


    Chen Mobai feigned regret.


    ¡°Oh, are you also a Talisman Maker, Friend Chen?¡±


    ¡°No wonder you always have so many talismans.¡±


    Qi Rui, Shi Pengyi, and Luo Lin all had realization dawn on them, but Chen Mobai hastily waved his hands humbly, indicating he was still at the beginner stage.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I want to join the Divine Wood Sect? I started learning how to make talismans in advance, to avoid getting cut from the entrance tests next year.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t worry, Friend Chen. Given your age and realm, as long as you can master one of the five Life Talismans, any of the senior uncles will take you into the sect.¡±


    Qi Rui was pleased with Chen Mobai¡¯s expressed longing for the Divine Wood Sect. He revealed a bit of the sect¡¯s customary practices in recruiting disciples, which benefited the other three members of the small team greatly.


    ¡°If you truly want a triple-sword talisman, Elder Brother Wang just happens to have one. It¡¯s just a matter of whether he¡¯s willing to part with it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was visibly surprised, but thinking of Wang Yuanwu¡¯s Red Sword, which was clearly a result of practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue, he suddenly understood.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s unique cultivation technique the ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯? Why do Friend Qi, Manager Wang, and Elder Qi all practice the Fire Attribute cultivation technique?¡±


    About this, Chen Mobai was a bit confused.


    Shouldn¡¯t disciples of the Divine Wood Sect be practicing Wood Attribute cultivation techniques?


    ¡°Although our Divine Wood Sect originated from the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect, the five veins have shared their ancient techniques with each other for over a thousand years. The fundamental techniques of the five veins have all been excerpted.¡±


    ¡°Precisely because of this, our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff dared to break away from the Five Elements Sect. Our two sects¡¯ inheritance all comes from the same Book Pavilion, and we possess techniques of all Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°However, it is said that the supreme divine skill of the Five Elements Sect, the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, has always been kept within the Earth Vein.¡±


    ¡°But the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ can only be perceived by those who have reached Gold Core Perfection and possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root. So, whether our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff possess this technique doesn¡¯t really matter.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, in my opinion, the simplified version of ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯, is more suitable for us regular cultivators. It provides us with a glimpse of a chance to Core Formation.¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words left Chen Mobai a bit confused.


    Many terms were foreign to him.


    What is the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯?


    What is the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯?


    In contrast, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, a pair of senior brother and sister on the side, wore expressions of awe, as if they had long heard of those famous techniques.

    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but play the part of a cultivator from the countryside and humbly sought advice.


    ¡°This ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ is the number one divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness. Our forebear, the Old Ancestor Hun Yuan, used this divine skill to sweep over the Eastern Wilderness, and even made a big name in the Central State, earning the title of ¡®Number One Nascent Soul of the Eastern Bound¡¯. Unfortunately, since the Old Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s demise, no one else has mastered this divine skill.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯ is a simplified version of ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, which requires the cultivation of two attribute techniques among the Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°For instance, disciples of our Divine Wood Sect, generally choose the Wood Attribute ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯ and Fire Attribute ¡®Red Flame Sword Jue¡¯. The initial stages might be slow, but when you reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, the Spiritual Power cultivated by the Red Flame Sword Jue will utilize the Spiritual Power from the Longevity Sutra as nourishment, increasing the chances of Core Formation by thirty percent.¡±


    ¡°It is said that the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ uses the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯ to successively practice the techniques of the Five Elements, finally unifying the Five Elements into one ¡®Primordial True Qi¡¯, thereby overcoming the Five Element techniques..¡±

 Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Future Planning^

    Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Future Planning^


    Translator: 549690339


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s introduction, which carried a hint of pride, Chen Mobai had only one thought in his mind.


    What a braggart!


    His boasting even surpasses that of the Seven Elemental Soul Cultivation


    Techniques of the Celestial Sect on Deyuan Star.


    The ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± of Kunpeng Daoist Institute claims that when perfected, one would control the six elemental energies-Yin, Yang, Wind, Rain, Darkness, and Brightness-with the laws of the universe at their fingertips, and their Primordial Spirit could roam endlessly through boundless realms.


    Even so, the ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± wouldn¡¯t dare claim to surpass all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.


    That¡¯s because the Wood Attribute Lasting Spring Cultivation technique passed down by Jumang Daoist Institute, though ordinary in name, promises to stop time and preserve youth once one achieves primordial spirit, maintaining their peak state forever before their life ends.


    Bearing no power over the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, the ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to assert its dominance over all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t argue but feigned astonishment after hearing about it, wondering how something as powerful as the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± could exist!


    But in his heart, he thought that if the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± was this mighty, then why did the ancestor of the Wu Xing Sect not breakthrough to Divinity Transformation but instead died of old age!


    From this, it became apparent that this so-called best divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness, despite being excellent in magic duels, probably doesn¡¯t compare to the Jade Purity Scripture of the immortal sects when it came to breaking through realms or even chasing longevity.


    This was why he agreed particularly with something Qi Rui said.


    Compared to the inaccessible and grueling cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit, the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡± might be more suitable for him.


    Just with a 30% increase in Core Formation chance after Foundation Establishment, he felt ecstatic.


    Remember, the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡± of the immortal sect even guaranteed a 20% increase in the Core Formation chance.


    Combining these two, if he could make it to Foundation Establishment, he felt he could already swallow half of the Gold Core.


    Perhaps he was thinking too far ahead.


    Chen Mobai took a deep breath to calm himself down.


    ¡°Is this ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯ so miraculous?¡±


    He was a bit skeptical. After all, though there were cultivation techniques within the immortal sects that could increase the chance of Core Formation, none of their effects were as exaggerated as a direct 30% increase like the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡±.


    ¡°Indeed! Thirty years ago, our sect¡¯s Elder Fu advanced to Core Formation with the ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯ and became the second Gold Core cultivator in our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    ¡°Precisely because of this, the Wu Xing Sect, which would not have compromised under any circumstances, was willing to sit down and negotiate with us, acknowledging our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff s independence.¡±


    ¡°In essence, isn¡¯t it all because we have one more Gold Core cultivator, balancing the power on both sides that the peace agreement for these hundred years could be signed?¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words gradually convinced Chen Mobai.


    Before the Wu Xing Sect¡¯s split, with one Nascent Soul cultivator and five Gold Core cultivators, indeed dominated the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Did you also cultivate this ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯, Qi Rui?¡± Chen Mobai asked.


    The other party immediately shook their head and gave a bitter smile.


    ¡°This is an honor exclusive to True Disciples.


    ¡°Moreover, cultivating the Dual Elements Cultivation requires more resources and time than cultivating a single cultivation technique.¡±


    ¡°During Qi Cultivation, it doesn¡¯t make much of a difference, but after Foundation Establishment, each bottleneck is extremely challenging. Without the ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯ providing an additional lifespan of 60 years, Elder Fu might not have been able to reach the Core Formation stage.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind.


    He already knew that although the major realms of the Tianhe Realm were the same as those of the immortal sects, the division of the minor realms was completely different.


    Tianhe Realm¡¯s Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages all only had four minor realms¡ªearly, mid, late, and Perfection. However, within the immortal sects, like Qi Cultivation, the stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul, are divided into nine minor realms. This is because breaking through this way, the bottlenecks are significantly smaller.


    Initially, when the Immortal sects started teaching the cultivation methods on Deyuan Star, the three major stages after Qi Cultivation were also divided into four minor realms¡ªearly, mid, late, and Perfection.


    However, after hundreds of years, due to a lack of resources, these minor realm bottlenecks blocked nearly all cultivators.


    So later, the Divinity Transformation ancestor of the Repairing Heaven Institute created the cultivation techniques of Foundation Establishment Nine Levels, Core Formation Nine Levels, and Nascent Soul Nine Levels.


    Sharing these methods with his disciples, the first Nascent Soul cultivator from Deyuan Star was eventually cultivated after two hundred years. As proven by practice, after breaking the original four minor realm bottlenecks into nine, the difficulty of breaking through reduced considerably.


    The chances of ultimately cultivating to Perfection was nearly fifty percent higher.


    Chen Mobai felt that if he could join the Divine Wood Sect, he could first choose to cultivate the ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯, then become a True Disciple, get the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡±, and swap the fire attribute cultivation technique that comes with it with the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± that he had prepared in advance.


    And if he could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the Nine Stages of Foundation Establishment in the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± would gradually melt the essence of the spiritual energy cultivated by the wood attribute ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯.


    And what was considered the most difficult minor realm bottleneck for the disciples of Divine Wood Sect, might not be too difficult for him.


    Furthermore, after he cultivates the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± to Gold Core Perfection, his spiritual root attribute could be elevated to Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, which would be perfect to comprehend the requirements of the ¡°Primordial


    Dao Fruit¡±.


    Although he felt that this number one divine skill of the Eastern Wilderness might not compare to the seven great elemental soul techniques passed down by the Immortal Sects, Qi Rui¡¯s praise made him think that if he had a chance in the future, he could give it a try.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai had roughly planned his future cultivation techniques.


    However, whether it would work still required more thought and consideration.


    But foremost, he needed to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    On that night, Chen Mobai and Qi Rui engaged in deep conversation, feeling as if they hadn¡¯t met soon enough.


    Shi Pengyi, after listening for a while, began to cultivate seriously, holding a spirit stone in his hand and meditating with his eyes closed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    On the other hand, Luo Lin, whose arm had just been mended, could only rest and listened with great interest as Chen Mobai and Qi Rui discussed topics ranging from the Divine Wood Sect and cultivation techniques to the sharing of experiences in talisman making.


    On these matters, Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t compare with Qi Rui, a Rank-1 Talisman Maker. But as his perceptions were based on entirely different system of learning from the Immortal Sects, his occasional remarks about what he learned in class greatly astonished Qi Rui who praised that Chen Mobai would definitely become an outstanding talisman maker.


    To this, Chen Mobai could only modestly dismiss. His theoretical knowledge might be fine but his practical skills were a mess.


    After the talisman-making discussion, both of them went on to speak about their experience of dealing with Demonic beasts like the Black Plague Bird. In their conversation, they occasionally sought Luo Lin¡¯s opinion and discussed how their team could coordinate to survive the Island Defense Battle while killing more demonic beasts.


    It wasn¡¯t until the break of dawn, when Wang Yuanwu distributed the Spirit Stones of the day that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui reluctantly ended their chat..

 Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Golden Cliff Ning Leshan_l

    Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Golden Cliff Ning Leshan_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Chen my friend, this is today¡¯s spirit stone share.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu handed over a small cloth bag. Chen Mobai was a little puzzled as he took it and felt that it contained more than 5 stones.


    ¡°In the latest order from Uncle Zheng, the reward for killing a rank-1 peak demonic beast is an additional 4 spirit stones.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reveal his surprise.


    When he opened the small cloth bag, he found 11 spirit stones inside.


    In addition to the five-stone reward for responding to the summoning order today, he had killed a black plague bird alone yesterday, and together with Qi Rui, they killed another one, which gave him an extra 6 spirit stones.


    ¡°The feathers of the black plague birds are excellent materials for artifact refining as well. After collecting these spirit stones, we at the Divine Wood Sect will handle the bodies of these beasts.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu explained further. Chen Mobai then realized that these spirit stones were actually payment for the materials from the beasts.


    However, he wouldn¡¯t know how to handle these materials in the first place, so even if they fell into his hands, the most he could do was roast some wings to eat. If he handed them over to the Divine Wood Sect and even got a few spirit stones in return, then it was a win-win deal.


    Compared to this, Chen Mobai is now even more impressed with Zheng Deming, who managed the distribution of the stones.


    Well, he saw that the cultivators guarding the spiritual tree array banners today seemed to be a lot happier after receiving more spirit stones, despite the fact some had frowned due to their comrades¡¯ deaths and injuries the day before.


    Those loose cultivators who were hesitant about whether to pull out and fight for survival before, couldn¡¯t speak up now.


    At least at the moment they received the spirit stones, all the loose cultivators were full of energy and united in their resolve.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s coming!¡±


    After Wang Yuanwu handed out the spirit stones and was about to discuss the cooperation tactics with everyone, a bright sword light landed on the cliff.


    ¡°I am Ning Leshan from Golden Cliff, who is the leader here?¡±


    The sword light faded, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face and three long straggling beards.


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Wang Yuanwu, I pay my respects to Uncle Ning.¡±


    Chen Mobai recognized this sword light, which was the same as the one that rushed out of the teleportation array and killed a rank-2 demonic beast yesterday. This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°Hmm, Brother Zheng assigned me to guard the west bank¡¯s defense line, and I came to meet with you.¡±


    After saying these words, Ning Leshan nodded his head and flew away on his sword, heading towards the location of the next spiritual tree array.


    Although this cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage came and went in a hurry, it nonetheless gave the team immense confidence.


    Indicating that even if the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± was used up and a rank-2 beast rushed onto the island, there would be at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed behind them. This immediately gave them a different sense of security.


    ¡°Golden Cliff is full of sword cultivators and they are generally among the strongest within the same rank.¡±


    Qi Rui knew that Chen Mobai was a loose cultivator who had come from the small place of Cloud Dream, and was not very familiar with the knowledge about the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, so he started explaining to him.


    Among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, the Metal Vein has always been the strongest.


    After the Hun Yuan Ancestor passed away, if it weren¡¯t for the alliance with Golden Cliff, the Gold Core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect would not have the confidence to form their own sect.


    ¡°What realm is Uncle Ning in?¡±


    ¡°I have heard before that he broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment just five years ago. I don¡¯t know if he has practiced the two-phase technique. If he is a gold-water dual cultivator with this kind of progress, he might have a chance to attempt Core Formation before his life limit.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect would organise an exchange program every once in a while where disciples who practiced sword techniques would be sent to Golden Cliff to learn. Qi Rui, who was practicing Crimson Flame Sword Decree, had the fortunate opportunity to stay at Golden Cliff for a period of time, and he remembered the name Ning Leshan very clearly.


    ¡°If practicing the two-phase technique increases the chance of Core Formation, why wouldn¡¯t one cultivate it?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it very strange. Given Ning Leshan¡¯s status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he certainly would want to reach Core Formation.


    This Dual Phase Technique increased the odds of achieving Core Formation so significantly, he would have definitely cultivated it if he were in that place.


    ¡°Most of our Divine Wood Sect disciples who meet the requirements will practice the Dual Phase Technique, but it¡¯s different for the sword cultivators of the Golden Cliff.¡±


    ¡°Many of them believe that sword cultivation needs a pure Sword Heart. Cultivating the Dual Phase Technique would impure their hearts. They would rather focus on a Sword technique that aligns with their own Spiritual Root and temperament, which allows them to forge ahead bravely and vigorously.¡±


    ¡°In fact, among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, only our Divine Wood Sect places such great importance on the Dual Phase Technique. That¡¯s because the ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯ can increase lifespan, and after Foundation Establishment, cultivators can get an extra lifespan of sixty-year cycle to breakthrough the bottleneck. In the other four veins, nine out of ten cultivators who practice the Dual Phase Technique would end up dying of old age.¡±


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai could not help but admire the unique advantage of the Divine Wood Sect.


    No wonder they had the audacity to split after the Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s passing.


    At this point, Wang Yuanwu gathered everyone again and had them set up defensive lines as they had been divided into teams the day before.


    Chen Mobai led Brother Shi Pengyi to the same spot they had fought in yesterday. Qi Rui was standing on the outermost edge, forming the first line of defense with the other Divine Wood Sect disciples.


    Attack!


    As expected, in a short while, the two Rank-2 Bird Kings led thousands of Black Plague Birds. It seemed they scattered around the nearby waters and in the sky to avoid being wiped out altogether by the Sacred Tree Divine Light.


    There was no more poking and prodding; they went straight into the most dangerous stage of the battle.


    The place where Chen Mobai and his group had set up the Spirit Tree Array Banners was still the primary target of the flock of Black Plague Birds.


    It seemed they had tested the limits of this team¡¯s power yesterday, so today the two Bird Kings sent thirty Rank-1 Peak birds to besiege them with a fierce momentum.


    If it were up to Chen Mobai and his group alone, they could only face these demonic beasts with heavy losses.


    If they fought to the death, no one might survive.


    But today, everyone was full of confidence.


    Wang Yuanwu nodded to his junior brother Liu beside him. Without any hesitation, Liu released the Sacred Tree Divine Light, which had recovered after being energized overnight.


    Amidst the loud rumbling noise,


    The thirty Rank-1 Peak Big Black Plague Birds, which rushed in front of them, were mostly vaporized into a mist of blood by this sudden burst of Sacred Tree Divine Light, despite their careful dispersion.


    ¡°Attack! Don¡¯t let any of these beasts escape!¡±


    Under Wang Yuanwu¡¯s command, Qi Rui and other Divine Wood Sect disciples charged off the cliff with him.


    Attack!


    At this point, the Bird King who was supervising from the distant clouds above uttered a harsh cry.


    Seeing that they had used the Sacred Tree Divine Light, the uninjured Rank-2 Bird King in his peak state, flapped his wings, revealing his true form, and charged towards them.

    ¡°Evil beast, how dare you!¡±


    Ning Leshan, who had been hiding on one side, flew over with his Sword Control Technique and directly blocked the Bird King in mid-air.


    The thunderous roar occurred once again!


    Meanwhile, Sacred Tree Divine Light broke out on the other shores of Green Light Island too, cleaning up the surface of the lake.


    After that, bursts of Sword Lights lit up, and they began to engage with the approaching army of demonic beasts..

 Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Red Flame Three Sword Symbol_l

    Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Red Flame Three Sword Symbol_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had been fighting demonic beasts on Green


    Light Island for ten days flat.


    From what began as a genteel, ancient-style handsome young man, to now wearing short sleeves and letting his hair loose.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the Cleaning technique, his appearance may have been likened


    to that of a savage by now.


    The number of people in their small team was also decreasing, and at this point, only twelve remained.


    However, those remaining were basically the elites.


    Fortunately, those Chen Mobai had met all survived.


    Luo Lin had already left the team. After all, she was only at the third level of Qi Cultivation. After fighting non-stop for five days, even with the supplement of elixirs and talismans, she fell into a coma due to exhaustion of spiritual and physical strength.


    However, surviving was what mattered most after all.


    Three days after Shi Pengyi left with Luo Lin, he returned to the team. Apart from wishing to earn Spirit Stones, he had also advanced to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.


    His spiritual root talent was quite good, but if he wanted to make further progress or even pursue Foundation Establishment, the island defense fight this time provided him with the best opportunity for advancement. Not only could he obtain Spirit Stones, but he could also further refine his cultivation techniques.


    If he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation in the next few years, at least before the age limit of 60, Shi Pengyi could attempt Foundation Establishment once.


    Chen Mobai had never participated in the struggles for the opening of the Immortals¡¯ Gate, but he felt that even the struggles for the opening should be as brutal as this, right?


    Of the twelve people they still had alive, seven were in the late stage of Qi Cultivation and five were at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.


    A disciple of the Divine Wood Sect had also died. After Qi Rui cremated him personally, carrying the urn with his ashes, he left the team for a day. But when he returned the next day, he once again devoted himself fully to the fight against the demonic beasts.


    A Loose Cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation also died.


    And of the remaining Loose Cultivators, only three, like Luo Lin, could leave


    alive.


    The brutalities of both life and death, and battle, enabled Chen Mobai to grow significantly within this short span of ten days.


    ¡°Come, Brother Chen.¡±


    Qi Rui threw the wine jug in his hand to Chen Mobai who caught it effortlessly and took a sip.


    Initially, he didn¡¯t like to drink alcohol, seeing that the taste of milk tea was much better than that of alcohol.


    But there was no milk tea in this world, so he had to cope with what was


    available.


    However, after having drunk alcohol for such a long time, he was gradually beginning to appreciate its taste.


    This jug of wine that Qi Rui held, according to him, was brewed from Jade Bud Spirit Rice grown on the Giant Tree Ridge. The taste was full bodied and smooth, and long-term consumption even had a promotional effect on cultivation.


    This pot of wine cost one Spirit Stone.


    After asking Shi Pengyi and his peers about it, he realized that not all Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm could afford to eat Spirit Rice and drink Spiritual Wine for every meal.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only comment that the agriculture of the Tianhe Realm was not developed enough.


    Although the Immortal Gate was short of resources, there was one thing that was never scarce ¨C Spirit Rice.


    On the Earth Elemental Star, regardless of whether it was plains or mountains, as long as it was possible to open and cultivate Spirit Fields, they were all exploited by the Lingzhi Husband of the Immortal Gate.


    After all, the body was the most fundamental thing. If one couldn¡¯t eat enough Spirit Rice, how could one possibly expect the children of the next generation to be talented?


    The technique of cultivating Spirit Rice on the side of the Immortal Gate had reached an absolute pinnacle.


    Therefore, because every generation had grown up eating Spirit Rice for thousands of years, it was very rare for a baby to be born lacking in innate Spirit Root Attributes on the side of the Immortal Gate.


    In the Tianhe Realm, those who had Spirit Roots and could sense and cultivate Spiritual Energy were surprisingly in the minority.


    As a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect, which recruited disciples every year, had to let Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage lead a group of people to various cities and villages to measure Spirit Roots among the mortals.


    Not only was this inefficient, but there was also a large probability of overlooking people with Spirit Roots.


    Eight years ago, when Liu Jia Mountain was recruiting disciples in the Eastern Wilderness, their Spirit Messenger found a genius with a Different Spiritual Root in Rain Country which the Divine Wood Sect had previously checked. Upon hearing about this, the Old Ancestor Fu was furious.


    If not for the Spirit Messenger of the previous generation of the Divine Wood Sect who managed to snatch a baby with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he would probably have been severely punished for this matter.


    ¡°With such an abundant amount of Spiritual Energy in the Tianhe Realm, it would be a waste not to cultivate land.¡±


    As Chen Mobai drank the small wine, he thought if he got into the Divine Wood Sect in the future, he would definitely not waste such good Spiritual Land resources.


    The Giant Tree Ridge with Rank-4 Spirit Vein, known as the second largest medicine field in the Eastern Wilderness, might be a bit difficult to convert into farmland.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need such good Spiritual Land either.


    Qi Rui said that there were many abandoned rank-1 and rank-2 Spirit Fields around the Giant Tree Ridge. Because the Divine Wood Sect has only been separated for less than a hundred years, there were not many disciples, so the sect¡¯s influence area was rather sparsely populated.


    Basically, every Qi Cultivation disciple could be divided into a rank-2 Spirit Vein.


    He could buy some seeds that grew fast but required high amounts of Spiritual Energy from the Earth Elemental Star, which would perfectly utilize the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother, Tang Panchui, came from a village situated in a valley between Danxia City and Yu Wood City, where the people from generations past had made a living farming. The Water Clear Rice they grew had a pure white and translucent color, with a unique green leaf aroma.


    Most of the cultivators in Danxia City and Yu Wood City only acknowledge the rank-2 Water Clear Rice grown here.


    When Chen Mobai was young, he had also been taken to work in the fields. Regarding farming, he felt that he had a bit of a knack for it.


    ¡°Manager Wang, I would like to request two days of leave to rest.¡±


    After finishing his wine, Chen Mobai approached Wang Yuanwu. The latter paused for a moment, thinking that Chen Mobai was tired of fighting and wanted to quit and leave.


    ¡°Brother Chen, if you are dissatisfied with the quantity of Spirit Stones, we can negotiate again.¡±


    ¡°Manager Wang, you misunderstood. It¡¯s just that the non-stop fighting over the past ten days has left me mentally fatigued. If I don¡¯t take a break now, I might lose my guard on the battlefield and get killed by those beasts.¡± Chen Mobai explained with a wry smile, adding that the following day, the Danxia City side would announce the pairing list and detailed rules for the Daoist Academy entrance exam.


    He had to rush back to check his opponents and see if there was anything he needed to take note of.

    ¡°So that¡¯s the case, I apologize for misunderstanding you, Brother Chen.


    After hearing this, Wang Yuanwu immediately apologized, as the pressure he had been under during this period was also very great.


    Just the day before, the defensive line they held had broken. If not for Ning Leshan repelling the Bird King and reinforcing them in time, they might not have been able to retake this place.


    However, despite this, the Spiritual Tree Array Banner they were protecting was damaged. Although their Junior Brother Liu was trying his best to repair it, he wasn¡¯t a Lingzhi Husband and the effect was slow.


    ¡°Oh, Brother Wang, I heard you have a Red Flame Sword Charm. You also know of my aspiration to join the Divine Wood Sect, and I have decided to cultivate the Eternal Life Sutra and the Red Flame Sword technique.. I wonder if you might be willing to part with it and sell it to me?¡±

 Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Mixed l

    Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Mixed l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Wang Yuanwu hesitated for a moment. He thought about how Chen Mobai is a mainstay in his team and has been a lot of help recently. Considering Chen Mobai¡¯s age and realm, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible for him to become a true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. So, befriending him would not be a bad idea. As a result, Chen Mobai returned the Spirit Stones he had received from Wang Yuanwu over the ten days back to him and received Wang Yuanwu¡¯s treasured ¡°Red Blaze Triple Sword Talisman¡±.


    ¡°Chen, return safely.¡±


    Qi Rui, who was standing nearby, said with a chuckle.


    Shi Pengyi also greeted Chen Mobai with a respectful fist-and-palm salute. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, his intention was the same.


    When Chen Mobai returned to his rented wooden hut, he discovered that his one-month lease was up. But, because of the Island Defense War, the Divine Wood Sect had extended the leases for all Loose Cultivators who responded to their call for another month, free of charge.


    He opened the cover of the underground tunnel under the bed and climbed down.


    With a flash of silvery light, he returned to his long-missed home.


    After tidying up his clothes, Chen Mobai pushed open the door of his house and headed to school.


    As he was walking, his phone, connected to Doyuan Star¡¯s signal, showed a continuous flow of incoming texts.


    There were messages from his mother, Tang Panchui and Qing Nu.


    There was also a message from Song Zheng. He had attended two training classes organized by the school but felt there was little improvement. Because he had not run into Chen Mobai these two times, he asked if there were any external training classes that were good for practical Magic Duel effectiveness. After seeing this, Chen Mobai replied, stating that external training classes were no better than the ones organized by the school principal.


    In the end, he saw a text from Yan Bingxuan.


    She asked him where he got the fish they had last time as she wanted to buy a couple online.


    Chen Mobai could only say that the fish were from an old spring in a cold pool in the mountains where his mother lived, and that she wouldn¡¯t be able to buy them online. He promised to bring her a couple more next time he could.


    After calling his mother, Tang Panchui, to reassure her, Chen Mobai arrived at the school.


    Classroom 203.


    By the time Chen Mobai walked in, half of the people had arrived.


    ¡°Over here!¡±


    Class monitor Mo Simin seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident as she waved enthusiastically at Chen Mobai.


    Song Zheng was sitting in the row in front of her. When he saw Chen Mobai coming over, he lifted his eyelids slightly and gave a small nod, a form of greeting.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan didn¡¯t come?¡±


    After sitting down, Chen Mobai asked casually.


    ¡°She¡¯s already been recommended for admission, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether she participates in the Magic Duel or not. She said that instead of spending time on this, she should cultivate more and increase her Ice Spirit Root Attribute Points.¡±


    Mo Simin mocked Yan Bingxuan¡¯s indifferent tone of speech with an uncanny impression.


    ¡°That makes sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, agreeing with Yan Bingxuan¡¯s logic.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this entrance exam determined his future in the Immortal Sects, Chen Mobai would have preferred to stay in the Tianhe Realm and continue his training.


    His recent fights with the demonic beasts had consolidated the inflated spiritual power he had initially gained from consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. He even felt that he could easily break through the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation Rank-8 once he refined his spiritual energy to the right level.


    ¡°Well, long time no see, everyone¡±


    At this moment, a spirited and energetic teenager entered the room. It was Xu Yuan.


    He seemed to have gone somewhere to train during this period and had completely changed his casual demeanor. Now, he was more like a sharp sword out of its sheath, filled with fighting spirit and sharpness.


    ¡°Eh, you¡¯ve broken through to the Qi Cultivation Rank-8.¡±


    A flash of spiritual light passed through Shi Jingjing¡¯s eyes, revealing Xu Yuan¡¯s true realm.


    ¡°Correct. I was sent along with Yuanqing to train in the army. After enduring tortures you can¡¯t imagine, I have thoroughly improved!¡±


    Xu Yuan stood at the entrance, his entire person exuding a combativeness and sharpness he had never had before.


    Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqing was still quiet. But the childishness on his face had completely vanished. He stood still like a mountain, giving people an indescribable feeling of solidity.


    ¡°In that case, you guys should be able to make it to the final round this time.¡±


    Shi Jingjing glanced at Shi Yuanqing again. Seeing him, she, who originally didn¡¯t have much confidence in the Magic Duel, slumped her face, turned her head, and leaned against Cao Yaling¡¯s chest. Her face puckered up, and she looked extremely disappointed.


    ¡°If those four who are at the Qi Cultivation Rank-9 all go to participate in the entrance exams of the Four Great Dao Academies, I feel that I can top this competition among the Ten Academies.¡±


    Xu Yuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai, who had been busy communicating with Qing Nu on his phone, glance at him.


    After making sure this guy couldn¡¯t possibly beat him, Chen Mobai lowered his head again and continues chatting with Qing Nu.


    [Has the duel list been released yet?]


    This was a message sent by Qing Nu.


    She had pretty much been in the Alchemy Room or in her rented apartment recently, busy helping him refine Rank-1 High-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Because she had already been recommended for admission to the Jumang Dao Academy, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to the entrance exam for Daoyuan College.


    [It hasn¡¯t reached our hands yet, but it may have been issued to the school already. After all, they said the duel list would be out today when we were filling out the school preferences.]


    Chen Mobai replied.


    The Cinnabarite Institute.


    ¡°47 people for Dao Academy and 233 people for Doyuan Academy.¡±


    The Red Robe Leader glanced over the duel list with people¡¯s allocations, and then looked up at the fully assembled representatives of the Dao Academy and Doyuan Academy in the conference room.


    ¡°The numbers are a bit awkward, should we kick one out or promote one? That way, it¡¯ll be a perfect head-to-head match.¡±


    The representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute said, which was silently rebuked by everyone.


    ¡°Whether we kick someone out or promote someone, there will be dissatisfaction. We must uphold basic fairness and justice, and I think we should stick with the numbers we have. The extra person will be the one with the highest score, who will get a bye and move on to the next round.¡±


    Bian Yiqing of Dance Tool Dao Academy began speaking. His mature and steady comments earned nods of approval from most of the academy representatives.


    ¡°In that case, there¡¯s another problem.¡±


    Shang Qing of Jumang Dao Academy checked this year¡¯s scores in Red Sandstone City and pointed out the two people with the highest scores, Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng, who were tied.


    So, who gets the bye?


    For a moment, the conference room fell silent.


    ¡°Lan Haitian, how about your input?¡±


    Among the Four Great Dao Academies, only Lan Haitian hasn¡¯t spoken yet.


    The representatives from the Ten Academies usually followed the lead of the Four Great Dao Academies in such situations.

    When the words of the Red Robe Leader fell, all eyes were on Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we mix the people from the Four Great Dao Academies and the Ten Academies together for the Magic Duel?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lan Haitian¡¯s suggestion seemed to be unacceptable to some people.


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be unfair to the 47 who barely made it into the Daoyuan Academy? They worked very hard to earn this opportunity.¡±


    ¡°The more people there are in the competition, the more rounds there are, the easier it is to see who the true skills are..¡±

 Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Versus Table_l

    Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Versus Table_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After hearing what Lan Haitian had to say, the representative from Repairing Heaven Institute frowned, proposing a potential issue.


    ¡°What if the first-place finisherin the end, doesn¡¯t meet the cut-off scores for admission into our Four Great Daoist Academies? What are we to do then?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that even better? It gives us a legitimate reason not to admit any.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words caused everyone present to startle before their expressions cleared in understanding.


    Admission requirements for the Four Great Daoist Academies were strict, preferring to have fewer but superior students each year. This led to criticisms from cultivators, accusing the academies of hoarding the most cultivation resources from the celestial schools and being overly selfish.


    In every ten years, the Xianwu Hall from the Three Great Xian Halls, which was the highest governing body overseeing operation departments of thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed lands, would conduct a public opinion survey.


    With the public¡¯s criticism for the Four Great Daoist Academies mounting over hundreds of years, it was about time to issue some responses. Hence, this year, the Hall Master from Xianwu Hall invited the dean of the Daoist Academy to set the theme of a magic duel for admissions.


    The requirement was that if the first place in the magic duel scored sufficient points for admission, the Four Great Daoist Academies could not refuse the student¡¯s enrolment.


    In the end, to prevent examination migration, a notice was issued by Celestial Schools mandating the completion of at least one semester at a local academy before taking the local admission test.


    The Four Great Daoist Academies agreed to this in respect to the Xianwu Hall Master.


    But, when they announced it, they faced strong opposition from within the academy.


    ¡°Why did we, in our time, had to beat out two to three million people from across the Celestial Schools to barely gain admission into the Four Great Daoist Academies? How could it be so simple this year?¡±


    Each of the Four Great Daoist Academies would only admit a maximum of 49 students every year.


    Adding up to less than two hundred, they were truly the chosen ones amongst myriads.


    According to the Xianwu Hall Master¡¯s requirements, at a minimum one student from each Heavenly Cave and Blessed Lands may be admitted, potentially doubling the intake numbers.


    It was not that Daoist Academy members felt this was unfair, they were mainly concerned that lowering the standards would tarnish their academy¡¯s reputation.


    Could the first-place finisher of some obscure place also qualify for admission into the Four Great Daoist Academies? Did they even have the aptitude for it?


    If you wanted to join the Daoist Academy, you should earn it by outcompeting millions of candidates, just like them.


    But the higher-ups had already decided, so even if students nursed resentment, the representatives of the Four Great Daoist Academies could only follow their leaders¡¯ directives.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s proposal, however, provided a valid reason to reject students.


    Among them, Shang Qing from Jumang Daoist Academy, in particular, wasn¡¯t concerned at all.


    They had Qing Nu with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, so they had already secured a student slot in Red Sandstone City in advance.


    ¡°That¡¯s even better. If we follow past practice, these 47 people might not be qualified for the Four Great Daoist Academies, and will end up joining the ten schools. Mixing exams together will allow the representatives of the academies to better judge the students¡¯ potential and level.¡±


    The representative from the Repairing Heaven Institute nodded and made a remark that turned the representatives from the academies pale.


    Yet, they could not utter a word in protest because they indeed intended to increase enrolment.


    Therefore, everyone¡¯s gaze turned to the True Man in Red Robe.


    He was still the one to make the final decision.


    ¡°I find it feasible. Let¡¯s go according to this. Daoist Academy and the academies holding joint entrance tests can also save resources for Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    As the Man in Red Robe made the decision, there were no objections from the representatives of the Daoist Academy and the academies, who all nodded in agreement.


    Subsequently, the clerk swiftly reconfigured the duel¡¯s formula on the file, mixing together all 47 Daoist Academy entrants and 233 academy quota.


    In a flash, a new duel table was generated.


    ¡°Make some final changes and then send it to all schools. The magic duels will be held three days from now. Since there are many participants in the first round, it will be divided into several sessions¡­¡±


    After reviewing it, the Man in Red Robe added a few points.


    Suggestions such as prioritizing students from the same school to avoid each other, those with higher realms to duel first with those with lower realms, to prevent those with high realms from encountering each other early and ensuring the excitement in the final rounds.


    After two more rounds of modifications, the representatives of the Daoist Academies and the academies were all satisfied, and this duel schedule was distributed to all high schools in Red Sandstone City.


    Classroom 203.


    He Jingshan skillfully switched on the projector, first showing the entire enormous dueling table, then inputting the keyword ¡°Fifth High School¡±, immediately filtering out the rivalry information for every student in the classroom.


    ¡°Each of you should take note of this. The first round has 140 duels. There are twenty duels a day, which will take seven days in total. Check to see which day you are scheduled on?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked up at his own, and was lucky ¨C it was on the first day, and his opponent was from Third High School.


    Mo Simin even recognized her and said he was a seventh-layer Qi Cultivation genius with a dual spiritual root. She made a comparison with Song Zheng.


    Chen Mobai responded with an ¡°oh¡±, greatly admiring her comparison, which instantly clarified his opponent¡¯s level for him.


    Everyone¡¯s luck is good, no one has encountered a strong opponent, only Chen Mobai¡¯s Qiao Xingwen is in the late stage of Qi cultivation, there might be a fierce battle.¡±


    He Jingshan had checked the duel table before coming, and had a good idea of everyone¡¯s opponents.


    Seeing that everyone in the classroom were looking at him, Chen Mobai could not help but stop playing with his phone.


    Feeling the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Chen Mobai thought it was necessary to say something.


    ¡°Everyone must work hard. As the top scorer of our high school this time, I will set an example and strive to defeat my opponent to uphold the honour of Fifth High School in Red Sandstone City.¡±


    After hearing his words, Mo Simin immediately turned her head away, pretending not to know him.


    Song Zheng was also surprised, not expecting Chen Mobai to actually utter such an embarrassing statement.


    ¡°Cough cough, Chen Mobai, I¡¯m pleased to see your spirit, but I¡¯ve heard some things about your opponent. It¡¯s said that he might soon break through to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. Safety should be your priority during the magic duel on the stage. It¡¯s not shameful to surrender.¡±


    He Jingshan felt the need to cool the students¡¯ ardor. Although entrance exams are important, they should not risk their lives for it ¨C the journey ahead is long.


    Even among the many houses, there were cases of Nascent Soul seniors.


    Remember, one must not lose their sensibility on the dueling stage because of a moment¡¯s zeal.


    After rambling for a while, the school principal then shared a tip.


    ¡°The talisman used in the magic duel can be changed as long as it doesn¡¯t exceed the grade and quantity set in the rules. If feasible, you can all change to a new set after each round of magic duel, which will keep your opponents from detecting your secrets.¡±


    Upon hearing this rule, Chen Mobai felt it had its pros and cons.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Getting acquainted with talismans takes time; using the magic duel set one is most proficient at will certainly be more effective than sets with which one isn¡¯t familiar.


    But the principal made a point too. If an evenly matched opponent were met, revealing all of one¡¯s spells and talismans might win them the duel, but the opponent in the next round would definitely prepare talismans in restraint.


    At this point, changing the talismans would indeed be a very good strategy, which can disrupt the opponent¡¯s arrangement.


    This made the magic duel even more interesting.


    Should an uncommon set of talismans be assembled as a decoy, to attract attention in the early rounds?

 Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Striving for the First_l

    Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Striving for the First_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I¡¯ll take 5 Quicksand Talismans.¡±


    ¡°This Golden Light Talisman is not bad, I¡¯ll stock up 5 of them as well.¡±


    ¡°Wind Blade Talisman, Wind Binding Talisman, and Wind Speed Talisman can be combined. Nice, I¡¯ll take 5 of each.¡±


    ¡°Fireball Talisman, Big Fireball Talisman, Fire Dragon Talisman ¨C 1¡¯11 prepare 2 sets of each.¡±


    Buying everything he thought of, Chen Mobai opened the fairy gate network and purchased a large number of popular battle talismans from several highly ranked talisman stores.


    In the end, he also bought 10 of the ¡°Water Sword Talismans¡±, which he always had in his shopping cart but never had the heart to place the order when he was short on cash.


    Considering his need for a water source to perform the Cold Ice Technique, he also bought 5 ¡°Water Storage Talismans¡±.


    This talisman was invented by a genius in the fairy gate. Although it¡¯s only a lower-grade Rank-1, it can store up to one cubic meter of water, making it an essential talisman for outdoor exploration and ancient ruin excavation.


    After completing his orders, Chen Mobai saw that he only had over three thousand Good Deed Points left in his bank card and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and sigh.


    It feels like no matter how many Good Deed Points one has, they¡¯re always not enough.


    The richer one is, the stronger this feeling becomes.


    ¡°Alright, take these match schedules and prepare well at home.¡±


    At this point, He Jingshan distributed a stack of printed and folded match schedules to each student, then left the classroom.


    Chen Mobai took one handed over by Song Zheng, who was sitting in front of him, and put it in his backpack, preparing to leave.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan approached him.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Mobai tilted his head, looking at the guy blocking the door.


    He wondered if this guy was challenging his first place and pondered on which move would be more suitable to beat him later.


    ¡°Qiao Xingwen is a guy who joined the army with me. We had three fights, and I only won two.¡±


    As soon as the theme of the entrance exam for the Magic Duel was released, many people thought military training was the best way to improve.


    Just as Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing had the chance to go to the army for training, other senior students in Danxia City also had other ways to get in.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, Qiao Xingwen, was one of them.


    ¡°Thanks for the heads up.¡±


    After hearing Xu Yuan¡¯s serious words, Chen Mobai was surprised but thanked him.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, may I ask you something?¡±


    At this time, Shi Jingjing, who was sitting at her seat, suddenly raised her hand and spoke.


    ¡°Hmm? Please ask.¡±


    ¡°Have you not updated your personal information panel?¡±


    Shi Jingjing asked a very unexpected question.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but Shi Jingjing took out her phone and opened a website in front of him.


    ¡°Betting Odds Network.¡±


    ¡°This Magic Duel in Danxia City has attracted many gamblers to place bets. They have collected the information of all students participating in the Daoist Academy¡¯s Magic Duel.¡±


    ¡°I was bored these days and read through everyone¡¯s information. I noticed that your realm is still listed as the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°I checked the match schedule again. Basically, the matchups in the first few rounds avoid internal consumption between high-realm students. This must have been deliberately set by the organizers to ensure the final rounds are exciting enough.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯re regarded as a sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, you¡¯re considered to have the lowest realm in this Magic Duel. So when the automatic arrangement was made, you were paired with Qiao Xingwen, with the intention of advancing this genius in the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    After hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s words, including Mo Simin, all students with the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation in the class couldn¡¯t help but lower their heads in shame.


    Chen Mobai opened his personal information panel on his phone.


    The update states that I¡¯ve reached the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°So, you haven¡¯t sent this to the class teacher?¡±


    Shi Jingjing asked again.


    After pondering for a bit, Chen Mobai realized that was indeed the case. The period between his breakthrough from the fifth layer to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation and then from the sixth layer to the seventh layer was very short. To avoid being questioned by the class teacher, he hadn¡¯t sent his updated personal information to Chai Deyun.


    The grades of the students in each school were public information, and thus, the odds site must have obtained this information.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Upon hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s suggestion, Chen Mobai had an epiphany.


    This was the reason two seventh-layer Qi Cultivation students had been paired in the first round.


    Besides these two, all the other 139 matches had late-stage Qi Cultivation students pitted against mid-stage ones.


    ¡°You know, you could¡¯ve easily advanced to the second round, but now you might be eliminated in the first round.¡±


    Shi Jingjing shook her finger at Chen Mobai, her face full of pity.


    ¡°Thanks for the reminder.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much, just thanked her.


    At this point, many people in the classroom had already gathered around Shi Jingjing, asking for the website address of the odds site.


    ¡°You can only watch, you can¡¯t bet, or your eligibility for the entrance exam will be cancelled.¡±


    Shi Jingjing quickly warned, instantly dampening the spirits of Chen Mobai, who was planning to bet on himself winning.


    However, he still asked for the website address and casually added Shi Jingjing as a friend.


    This classmate¡¯s way of thinking was quite unique; it might be beneficial to keep in touch in the future.


    Upon leaving the school, Chen Mobai went to the Alchemy Room rented by Qing Nu.


    ¡°Here!¡±


    A plastic container half-full of Rank-1 high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was handed by Qing Nu to Chen Mobai. There were actually 22 vials of it.


    ¡°1 used four parts of medicinal herbs, and another batch of medicinal solution is still being extracted. There should be about seven more vials by the day after tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu.


    With one batch of the high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, you could mix at most ten vials. During the ten days when he was fighting against demonic beasts, Qing Nu had also stayed up without rest, making her look slightly wearied.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal, thanks to the medicinal herbs you provided, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to break through to the next realm.¡±


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯ve cultivated Divine Sense!¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t checked Qing Nu¡¯s Cultivation Level, but to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, one must first cultivate Divine Sense.


    ¡°Yes, when I woke up this morning, I had mastered the Divine Sense, but my Spiritual Power isn¡¯t enough yet, so I¡¯m still in the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, congratulations, take the ingredients for the two batches of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and make some Rank-1 mid-grade ones for yourself. You can think of it as a gift from me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu however, shook her head.


    ¡°Just being able to practice with your medicinal herbs to improve my alchemy skills is enough for me. Besides, I¡¯m going to Jumang Daoist Academy next semester, which is located on a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, so there¡¯s no need to waste your medicinal herbs since there won¡¯t be a lack of Spiritual Energy there.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted Qing Nu¡¯s reasoning and didn¡¯t say anything more.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nevertheless, to celebrate Qing Nu¡¯s breakthrough, the two of them went out for another meal of grilled fish.


    Since he didn¡¯t bring any fish from Tianhe realm this time, the taste was average, but they both ate happily.


    When they were saying their goodbyes, Qing Nu suddenly clenched her right fist and raised it, saying something to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Good luck with the entrance exam.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll strive to rank first and join you at Jumang Daoist Academy..¡±

 Chapter 102 - Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Situation Looks Great_l

    Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Situation Looks Great_l


    Translator: 549690339 I


    After returning home, Chen Mobai had another meal with his mother, Tang Panchui, and then under her prattling, went back to his own room.


    Glittering silver.


    He was back in the Tianhe Realm again.


    He carefully stepped out of the burrow he dug, relieved to see the log cabin still stood.


    After confirming no demonic beasts had reached the island, Chen Mobai got dressed and returned to his team.


    ¡°How does it feel, isn¡¯t it uncomfortable resting at home?¡±


    Qi Rui came up laughing when he saw him return, giving a friendly pat on his shoulder.


    ¡°Not at all.¡±


    ¡°How is it possible? Last time I brought the ashes of Brother Wang back, I rested for a day. When I lay in bed and closed my eyes, all I could see was myself fighting beasts here. I couldn¡¯t rest at all.¡±


    Hearing these words, Chen Mobai shook his head. He had rested at his own house in the land of Di Yuan, where he had no fear of beasts attacking.


    ¡°How is the situation?¡±


    ¡°Better than ever before.¡±


    The one speaking was Wang Yuanwu. Chen Mobai was stunned when he saw him; one of his hands was bandaged and hung around his neck.


    ¡°Those bastards attacked last night. We informed Uncle Ning in time, but I still lost a hand. However, I¡¯ve already reattached it with a Renewal Talisman.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai quickly looked around, noting that there were three less people in their team.


    He asked and found out that among them, one had died and two others were seriously injured and had left the team.


    Given this, it was clear that the battle last night must¡¯ve been particularly fierce.


    If only I had been here.


    Chen Mobai felt slightly guilty.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are about to enter the final stage soon, there won¡¯t be any more casualties.¡±


    At this point, Qi Rui, understanding Chen Mobai¡¯s feelings, gave his shoulder a pat.


    Not far away, on a stone, Shi Pengyi also waved and greeted him.


    Feeling slightly relieved, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t seem to understand Qi Rui¡¯s words.


    ¡°Is it ending soon? Did the Divine Wood Sect send more reinforcements?¡±


    ¡°Old Ancestor Fu personally went to Cloud Dream Marsh and relocated to Fengyu Fort, allowing the Foundation Establishment masters from our sect to withdraw from there. Two of them were transferred to Green Light Island, ensuring a steady hold now.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but rejoice.


    Unconsciously, he had come to consider himself a part of Green Light Island.


    ¡°Now we just wait for when Old Ancestor Fu and Real Man Nu Jiang can spare time to clear out the outer areas of the Cloud Dream Marsh.¡±


    Even though the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff had split off from the Five Elements Sect, during the peace treaty, it was agreed that both factions would respond to the call and help suppress the seal left by the old ancestor Hun Yuan in case any unusual activity occurred among the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters.


    This was precisely why, every ten years, the Divine Wood Sect would station a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Fengyu Fort.


    Of course, all the gains from hunting the monsters belong entirely to them.


    Markets such as Green Light Island were originally established to deal with the harvest obtained by Foundation Establishment Cultivators from hunting Demonic Beasts deep in Cloud Dream Marsh. As things progressed, the two elders of the sect discovered the profitability of these markets, hence paid it more attention.


    This time, six island markets of the Divine Wood Sect in Cloud Dream Marsh were besieged by Demonic Beasts, two of which failed to hold up and have already fallen.


    Green Light Island, being on the outermost periphery and relatively close to the mainland, didn¡¯t have many Demonic Beasts coming over. Plus, thanks to Zheng Deming¡¯s appropriate handling, it suffered the least losses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll watch over tonight.¡±


    Chen Mobai volunteered, and Wang Yuanwu didn¡¯t refuse. It was already Qi Rui¡¯s team¡¯s turn.


    It seems they¡¯ve become addicted to ambushing.


    At night, indeed, a flock of Black Plague Birds took advantage of the darkness to attack from within the black clouds.


    However, with Chen Mobai¡¯s Defense in place and the coordinated cooperation, the defense line was firmly held. Plus, Wang Yuanwu allowed his junior, Liu, to draw upon the spiritual energy from the Earth Veins and once again activate the Sacred Tree Divine Light. They finally waited until two Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived.


    One was Ning Leshan from the Golden Cliff, and the other was Peng Bei of the Divine Wood Sect, who hurried from Wind and Rain Fort.


    The former was a Sword Cultivator, while the latter was known for hunting Demonic Beasts year-round and was extremely ruthless.


    Not a single bird from this flock of Black Plague Birds was able to flee; all were killed on this cliff.


    Even the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt unsatisfied, so they went out of the island and fiercely battled with two Rank-2 Bird Kings.


    However, it was the Bird Kings¡¯ home ground outside. They controlled their flock and arranged a simple battle array. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn¡¯t break through and were even trapped instead.


    Only until dawn did the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who had exhausted too much Spiritual Power, order the West Bank to launch four Sacred Tree Divine Lights, dispersing the battle array controlled by the two Rank-2 Bird Kings, and they safely retreated.


    ¡°Why haven¡¯t these damned beasts retreated yet?¡±


    After the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators came back and greeted them, they flew back to the center of the island. But Wang Yuanwu was a bit puzzled watching the flock of Black Plague Birds on the barren reef, which was only a quarter of its initial size.


    ¡°Perhaps they received orders.¡±


    The order of demonic beasts is very primitive; the lower ranks obey the higher ones.


    ¡°Maybe, we still have to be cautious, so as not to make a mistake at the last moment and let these damned beasts rush onto the island.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu, dragging his newly reattached arm that started bleeding again due to the intense battle, sat under the Spirit Tree and practiced Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re cultivated, Wang, aren¡¯t you a True Disciple of your Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were chatting while drinking on the side. Qi Rui nodded and shook his head after hearing this.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, Brother Wang was indeed a True Disciple, but he failed in Foundation Establishment, and therefore stepped down from the True Disciple¡¯s position. He¡¯s still paying off the debt for that Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°What¡¯s so surprising about that? Do you think that every True Disciple can gather ten thousand contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill? If they aren¡¯t gifted by elders, they have to borrow from sect brothers.¡±

    Qi Rui had nothing to hide from Chen Mobai. After a couple of drinks, he spilled about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s exchange for Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Actually, the sect supports this. After all, the longer a Foundation Building Pill is stored, the more medicinal power it loses.¡±


    ¡°Even the most talented disciples can hardly gather ten thousand contribution points in just ten years. So to avoid wasting Foundation Building Pills, the sect allowed elders to gift contribution points or peer disciples to lend to each other.¡±


    ¡°Generally, as long as you behave appropriately, and you¡¯re a True Disciple, we¡¯re willing to lend. If, by any chance, the brother you lend to succeeds in Foundation Establishment, you would have a great favor in return. In the future, if you need to borrow contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill, won¡¯t they help you in return?¡±


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Cultivators can complete sect missions with contribution points at least ten times higher than us Qi Cultivators. If you¡¯re lucky and lend contribution points to two or three True Disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment, you can basically borrow enough contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill..¡±

    Qi Rui¡¯s words further piqued Chen Mobai¡¯s interest in joining the Divine Wood Sect.


    Over the next two days, sporadic Black Plague Bird attacks occurred. The remaining members of Chen Mobai¡¯s team were the cream of the crop and there were no further casualties.


    ¡°Manager Wang, now that the situation is essentially stable, I won¡¯t be visiting anymore.¡±


    After essentially receiving ten Spirit Stones for free, Chen Mobai proposed to leave.


    Wang Yuanwu gave him a surprised look. For loose cultivators, the opportunity to earn Spirit Stones effortlessly without engaging in battle was rare. Some, who had initially retreated during the fiercest moments of battle, were now requesting to rejoin.


    ¡°Chen¡¯s noble act is commendable, but our Divine Wood Sect is not lacking in Spirit Stones. There¡¯s no need to feel guilty and leave.¡±


    Before Wang Yuanwu could reply, Qi Rui had spoken up from the side.


    During this period, his relationship with Chen Mobai improved significantly and he already regarded Chen as a future fellow disciple in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Actually, I have sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough during the short battle period here and I don¡¯t want to miss it.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only force a bitter smile and make an excuse. If he could, he would also like to earn Spirit Stones here by slaying demonic beasts daily.


    However, he would need to go to the Cinnabarite Institute for the Magic Duel tomorrow. This was of great importance to him and he simply couldn¡¯t afford to be late.


    ¡°Indeed, that is more important.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu and Qi Rui respectively did not hold him back when he put forth his cultivation breakthrough as the reason for leaving.


    The former fetched an enrollment record from his storage bag, crossed out Chen Mobai¡¯s name, and then handed him a certificate.


    Qi Rui pulled Chen Mobai aside and gave him a notebook summarizing his own talisman making techniques.


    ¡°As you have decided to cultivate the Immortal Longevity Sutra and the Crimson Flame Sword Decree, you can familiarize yourself in advance with the methods to refine the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.¡±


    ¡°Once you can successfully make this talisman, any one of the masters will accept you as their disciple.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if someone asks you, just say that you bought the talisman making notebook outside and don¡¯t mention that I gave it to you.¡±


    The Five Elements Sect had five-line inheritances and distributed numerous Qi Cultivation techniques and fundamental spells to the secular dynasties in the Eastern Wilderness, aiming to recruit ordinary people with Spiritual Roots. Therefore, people who stood out were basically admitted into their door due to practicing the Five Elements Sect¡¯s techniques.


    Thus, there were also many cultivation techniques and talismans from the Five Elements Sect for sale in the Southstream Market.


    The Blackwater Cultivation technique in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand was thought to be of this origin by Old Man He.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Qi.¡±


    This address as ¡®Brother¡¯ made Qi Rui burst into laughter.


    ¡°Brother Chen!¡±


    He extended his hand, giving Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder a forceful pat.


    Chen Mobai returned home with the notebook in hand, its rough binding and coarse paper familiar. It gave him a warm feeling inside.


    Not everything in the Tianhe Realm was about deception and competition.


    People like Wang Yuanwu and Qi Rui from the Divine Wood Sect, and even Qi Hou from the beginning, all left impressions of resilient cultivators full of humanity.


    Of course, this could also be a reflection of the harsh environment for loose cultivators. Surrounded by predators eager to rob cultivation resources, the cultivators outside the major sects of the Tianhe Realm became incredibly ruthless.


    If it were possible to cultivate steadily and improve, most cultivators would be willing to stay peacefully in their cave dwelling and avoid trouble.


    Sitting down at his desk, Chen Mobai thoroughly read through the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman notebook.


    To craft this sword talisman, it requires a Talisman Maker to cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue, only then can the Red Flame Sword Qi be sealed into the talisman paper.


    Of course, it was written in the notes that the senior cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect had also tried to see if the same type of fire attribute sword Qi could be used as a substitute to achieve the same effect.


    It was later proven that it was possible to do so.


    However, some brush strokes and lines need to be adjusted to accommodate the balance between the Sword Qi and the talisman paper.


    The ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± could not be created easily.


    You have to start from the Rank-1 intermediate grade ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡±, then combine the two talisman scripts to get the Rank-1 high grade ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±. After that, there is the ¡°Double Sword Talisman¡±, and the ¡°Triple Sword Talisman¡±.


    However, Qi Rui himself only crafted single sword talismans.


    He attempted to craft a double sword talisman for several years and only succeeded twice. After that, he didn¡¯t bother to continue.


    After all, the demand for single sword talismans is greater, and they sell better.


    Qi Rui did try to craft the triple sword talisman, but after failing twenty or thirty times, he simply could not afford to invest any further.


    Even though the triple sword talisman is still a Rank-1 high grade, it is already in the realm of a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    Many Talisman Makers, in order to increase their success rate, are directly using Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink, Qi Rui being just a Qi Practitioner at the eighth level, simply could not afford such investment.


    Chen Mobai immediately opened Xianmen Web and checked the prices of these items.


    Rank-2 talisman paper costs 50 Good Deed Points for a large piece, and an extra 10 Good Deed Points for cutting.


    As for the talisman ink, it depends on the type. Since the ink for each talisman script is basically different, most need to be custom-made after reaching Rank-2.


    A small bottle of ink for some commonly used Rank-2 talisman scripts can be mass-produced, so the price isn¡¯t high ¨C it¡¯s 100 Good Deeds Points.


    Chen Mobai looked at the dozen or so pages in Qi Rui¡¯s notes about ink making. They were full of his complaints stating that nine-tenths of his time in crafting talismans was wasted in ink preparation.


    Then he looked at the specific steps for preparing the ink.


    The material was manageable. The Giant Tree Ridge area produced a cinnabar known as ¡®Chi Zhu¡¯.


    However, this kind of cinnabar is extraordinarily hard and requires a Qi Practitioner to grind it with a special tool for a full three days and nights to get it crushed into a usable, fine powder state.


    After the grinding, a Spirit Yellow Glue extracted from Spirit Wood needs to be added, along with a certain proportion of Spiritual Water to facilitate the fusion. Then, it¡¯s slowly boiled in a specially-made furnace.


    This small fire requires a kind of soft-burning Spirit Wood, which is an additional investment.


    When the ink in the furnace has thickened enough to no longer flow freely, it has to be dried in the shade ¨C another step that requires another three full days and nights.


    Only once the ink has completely solidified can it be taken out.


    In this process, the upper layer of the ink slab will be slightly yellow, the bottom layer will be purple, but only the bright red in the middle layer is the Rank-2 ink.


    After separating the three types of Chi Zhu, the last step is filtration, in which impurities in the ink will have to be precipitated and filtered out.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The duration of filtration depends on the quality of the previous grinding and the grade of the raw materials. The first time Qi Rui made ink, due to incorrect technique, he filtered for a whole month without achieving the required standard, eventually leading to the discard of the ink.


    It¡¯s no surprise that in these notes, the process of ink preparation is the only one he complains about.


    When crafting a triple sword talisman, the best way to have a higher success rate is to use Rank-2 bright red ink.


    Of course, if you¡¯re a master, you can be successful even if you use slightly yellow or slightly purple cinnabar.


    Upon reading these steps, Chen Mobai found them quite troublesome, but he had his own method..

 Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The First Day of Magic Duel_l

    Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The First Day of Magic Duel_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai picked up the phone and dialed a number.


    ¡°Mom, how much is your factory selling a piece of Rank-2 talisman paper now?¡±


    ¡°35 Good Deed Points for a large sheet. Why, do you want to earn some pocket money again? You should focus on your entrance exam at the moment. If you¡¯re short on money, tell me. Although we¡¯re having financial difficulties and still owe the bank a loan for your dad¡¯s Foundation Establishment¡­¡±


    Avoiding to hear any more lecturing, Chen Mobai hurriedly asked the question he most wanted to know and interrupted his mom¡¯s tirade.


    ¡°The machine your workshop uses to mix talisman ink, which spiritual instrument manufacturer did you order it from? It seems all you have to do is put the raw materials in, and the talisman ink that comes out is not only clean and tidy but also evenly colored and in good quality.¡±


    ¡°Zhou¡¯s Sixth Factory. That machine wasn¡¯t cheap, it was a whopping 200,000 Good Deed Points. However, we got it customized only because the boss bears good relations with them¡­¡±


    Listening to Tang Panchui go on and on, Chen Mobai finally managed to hang up the phone.


    200,000 Good Deed Points for one, that¡¯s too expensive.


    So, he checked on the Immortal Gate Network to see if there were alternatives. He actually found several merchants specializing in custom-made machines and decided to inquire from the background. The prices varied, but even the cheapest demanded to start from 100,000 Good Deed Points to take the order. Disheartened, Chen Mobai checked his account balance and clicked out of the web page.


    However, he thought of the Wood Spiritual charm shop that he often bought from.


    Considering such a significant number of charms were produced in a short period, it was impossible for everything to be handcrafted. Yet, from the few conversations he had with the shopkeeper, he realized the owner wasn¡¯t a wealthy man. So, how did he solve this problem?


    After typing and sending a series of texts, the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual charm shop responded immediately.


    After all, he was a valued customer.


    The shopkeeper sent him several links.


    Chen Mobai clicked the first link and found it was a small crusher.


    The shopkeeper told him how he bought this kind of crusher to crush cinnabar. The cheapest model costs only 3,000 Good Deed Points per piece, but it can only crush up to a particle fineness of 100 mesh.


    However, it¡¯s sufficient to prepare for creating Rank-1 talismans.


    Not knowing the particle fineness required by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai simply added it to his shopping cart.


    Moving on to other links, they were respectively mini temperature pots for boiling the talisman ink, spiritual energy jars for fire creation, filters and glass bottles, and at the end, standardized small aluminum tubes that were used to store semi-solid talisman ink in Di Yuan Star.


    Unable to afford one large machine combining all functions costing 200,000 Good Deed Points, the individual components came down to less than 10,000 Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai sent a thumbs-up emoji to the shopkeeper, and then ordered some charms in his shop.


    As his account balance was running low, Chen Mobai could only add items introduced by the shopkeeper to his shopping cart.


    After all, he was primarily focusing on the entrance exam magic duel.


    He would leave the charm creation to practice slowly after he entered college. As he walked downstairs, he saw several parcels on the coffee table.


    They were the Quicksand Talismans, Golden Light Talismans, Wind Blade Talismans, he had purchased. After unwrapping all the packages, he pocketed a few of each.


    Leaving his house, he headed to the cultivation gym where he had previously spent time with Yan Bingxuan, rented a Spells Chamber for an hour to practice, used one of each charm to confirm the feel and functions, and then left satisfied.


    Next, he took the bus to the Cinnabarite Institute to scout out the battlefield.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite a spectacle.¡±


    The Cinnabarite Institute is located in Danxia Mountain, where fortress-like peaks and clusters of peaks loom. The landscape is filled with oddly-shaped rocks, stone bridges, and stone caves, all red color from the layers of sandstone reaching into the clouds.


    And their magic duel platform was located atop these towering peaks.


    Once he rode the special cable car to the top of the peak, Chen Mobai looked at the expansive scenery below and could not help but feel like he was on top of the world.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    At this time, Chan Si who had been waiting at a snack bar at the peak, waved at Chen Mobai who had just arrived.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Chan.¡±


    Before coming, Chen Mobai had contacted Chan Si, who had helped him a lot, even buying his Spirit Ascension Powder. This really gave him his startup capital, and he had been wanting to find an opportunity to express his thanks properly.


    So he planned to treat her to a meal today.


    ¡°Is this the student you mentioned?¡±


    Sitting beside Chan Si was a sister with a very generous smile.


    After being introduced, Chen Mobai understood that she was the one who had bought the Spirit Ascension Powder. Her name was Shen Juanxiu.


    So, this meal was covered by this well-off sister student. When they heard that he was participating in the entrance examination of the Daoist Academy, both ladies promised to come and cheer him on.


    ¡°Goodbye, Teacher Chan, Sister Shen.¡±


    Having enjoyed a meal, and toured all the arenas, visited all the essential spots under their guidance, Chen Mobai was ready to leave. But he was stopped by the two ladies.


    ¡°You will have the magic duel tomorrow, don¡¯t go home. Rest well here tonight so you won¡¯t be exhausted from travelling tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°True, there are many hotels near the school gate. I can cover the room cost. With so many students coming tomorrow, traffic might be densely packed in Red Sandstone City. If you¡¯re late and deemed a no-show, wouldn¡¯t you regret it for the rest of your life?¡±


    After listening to the suggestion from Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, Chen Mobai found their words to be reasonable.


    However, he wouldn¡¯t dare to let Shen Juanxiu pay for his hotel room. Seeing him firmly refuse, both ladies couldn¡¯t help but giggle. After encouraging him to do his best, they left together.


    That night, even with Chen Mobai¡¯s state of mind, he felt somewhat anxious and hopeful.


    In the realm of immortals, qualifying for a good university represented the greatest chance of changing one¡¯s fate.


    At four in the morning, he woke up, rearranged the talismans in his backpack, and ultimately selected the combination he was most confident in.


    After all, Qiao Xingwen was said to be quite skilled, according to Xu Yuan and the rest.


    If his boat capsized in the gutter, there wouldn¡¯t be a chance for a rematch.


    A Rank-1 high-grade Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    A Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow Talisman and Water Sword Talisman.


    A Rank-1 lower-grade Coiling Talisman, Wooden Shield charm, Wood Prison Talisman, Water Storage Talisman.


    Before dawn, Chen Mobai ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles at the school gate, then arrived at his own arena. He sat on a long stone bench at the edge of the peak, watching the distant clouds rolling and the rising sun, with the sunlight shining brightly.


    It wasn¡¯t just him; several students who had arrived even earlier were walking around restlessly.


    One moment they would take out their prepared talismans to check, and the next they would swap a couple of talismans and re-establish a set.


    ¡°This mentality isn¡¯t right, getting on the stage with this mindset is like delivering victory to the opponent.¡±


    Seeing these people, Chen Mobai could only shake his head quietly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He felt like he could defeat ten of such players easily.


    ¡°Eh, you¡¯re here so early.¡±


    The one speaking was his schoolmate, Shi Jingjing. Beside her was Cao Yaling, who was also due for the magic duel on this platform. They too seemed to have stayed nearby last night. Seeing Chen Mobai sitting unmoving, they walked over hand in hand.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too nervous, just express yourself. It¡¯s not a big deal if you lose, after all, your opponent is Qiao Xingwen, he¡¯s in the top hundred in terms of odds.¡± ¡°There are only around 280 people in total.¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but retort..

    Chapter 105: Chapter 10 5 One Minutel


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°After you¡¯re done, wait for me here, I will come find you.¡± After saying her goodbyes to Chen Mobai, Shi Jingjing turned to Cao Yaling and told her the same thing. The latter nodded quietly, standing still.


    -She doesn¡¯t talk very much. If you get eliminated early, can you wait for her to finish?¡±


    After Shi Jingjing left, she suddenly returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, pointed at Cao Yaling, and asked him for a favor.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai agreed without hesitation.


    As the top examinee of Immortal Sect High School no. 5 for this year¡¯s examination, he naturally assumed the role of their team leader.


    Looking after his team members was his duty.


    Soon, students arrived at the peak in groups of two or three.


    Chen Mobai saw his opponent.


    The odds website provided by Shi Jingjing had photos and information of everyone. He just needed to look it up once to remember it.


    ¡°He has a powerful aura.¡±


    Cao Yaling, who had mysteriously appeared by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, also noticed Qiao Xingwen. She adjusted her glasses, her eyes sparkling with an unreadable light behind the lenses. She seemed to have noticed something and casually pointed it out.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you don¡¯t like talking?¡±


    ¡°If she is here, I will not speak.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked perplexed as he sized up this refined and quiet female classmate with round glasses.


    ¡°Three of his fingers on his right hand have a larger meridian pathway than the other two, indicating he might have been practicing a spell similar to ¡®Spirit Pill¡¯¡± Cao Yaling continued, ignoring Chen Mobai¡¯s reaction. She lifted her right hand, extending her three slender and fair fingers towards Chen Mobai as a demonstration.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    After a long pause, Chen Mobai finally managed to muster two words in reply to this perplexing classmate.


    Although he felt confident facing Qiao Xingwen even without this information, he knew Cao Yaling had good intentions and he could only offer his thanks.


    ¡°My ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ technique still needs improvement. I could only see so much.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more than enough, your ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ appears to be same technique practiced by Shi Jingjing,¡± Chen Mobai pointed out.


    ¡°Yes, my master is also her father. Our Spirit Root Attributes are quite similar, so we practice the same Cultivation Technique.¡±


    ¡°Between the two of you, whose ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ is more formidable?¡±


    Cao Yaling hesitated for a moment then shook her head without giving a direct answer.


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai knew the answer. It would seem that Cao Yaling might be even more formidable, rendering her as the most capable among the female students in Immortal Sect High School no. 5.


    -Now, will the two students whose names I call please come up to the stage.¡± just then, a cultivator dressed in Cinnabarite Institute¡¯s teacher uniform flew to the centre of the newly erected stone platform atop the summit. With a list of today¡¯s matches in hand, he only spoke softly but his voice clearly reached the ears of all the students and spectators present on the summit.


    ¡°I¡¯m going up now. Remember, stay here,¡± Chen Mobai rose from the long bench. The first round of the competition was between him and Qiao Xingwen.


    His initial plan was to finish his fight quickly because he had promised to show around Chan Sze and Shen Juanxiu around the Cinnabarite Institute yesterday and take them to lunch as a form of gratitude.


    However, since he promised Shi Jingjing to keep an eye on Cao Yaling, he wouldn¡¯t break his word. Moreover, Chen Sze and Shen Juanxiu hadn¡¯t arrived yet.


    What a pity they won¡¯t get to see him swiftly deal with his opponent.


    ¡°Chen Mobai from High School no. 5-¡±


    ¡°Qiao Xingwen from High School no. 3.¡±


    Just then, the Cinnabarite Institute teacher on the platform called out the names of the two competitors.


    Both of them immediately made their way to the stage with the Propulsion Technique and exchanged glances.


    ¡ö¡öThere are no issues with the rules, right? Only the use of spells and talismans of the prescribed grade and quantity are allowed.¡±


    After the referee teacher finished speaking, Chen Mobai and Qiao Xingwen nodded. The latter had a square face and a crew cut, with a tall, lean figure and a robust air. From his outward appearance, he appeared to be highly formidable.


    ¡°A Qi Cultivation Level 7 against a Qi Cultivation Level 6, completely one-sided.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d rather say it¡¯s a gift match, the first round is just to warm things up,¡± some students were whispering to each other.


    ¡°Today, among all the students on this stage, Qiao Xingwen¡¯s abilities probably rank in the top five.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just glad I wasn¡¯t picked, an automatic win for Qiao Xingwen.¡±


    The chatter around him made Qiao Xingwen, who was even disciplined in the military, break out in a smile.


    Today, he was the protagonist.


    He extended his thumb and little finger of his right hand and, according to the strategy he had already planned, he would first test the efficiency of his opponent¡¯s talismans with his two weakest Spirit Pills. Once the opponent¡¯s strategies were exposed, he intended to finish them off with his three strongest Spirit Pills.


    This first round¡¯s opponent, a mere Qi Cultivation Level 6, possibly wouldn¡¯t even make him use his talismans.


    A confident Qiao Xingwen made his move.


    One minute later.


    Everyone below the stage had their mouths wide open, disbelief evident on their faces.


    Just like that?


    Has he actually been trained in the army?


    Chen Mobai looked at his unconscious opponent, shook his head, and then turned to the referee teacher who had just descended from the platform and was about to take a drink of water.


    ¡°Hmm, for the first round, Chen Mobai wins.¡±


    The teacher flew back up onto the stage and confirmed that Qiao Xingwen had indeed lost his capacity to fight and was unconscious, quickly announcing the result.


    After paying respect to the teacher, Chen Mobai descended from the stage, ignored the shocked gazes of dozens of onlookers, and calmly returned to his previous spot on the long stone bench.


    Cao Yaling, being a good girl, had followed his instructions to not move from her spot.


    Of course, it was mainly because Chen Mobai was too quick.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Her mouth slightly ajar, Cao Yaling wanted to say something but didn¡¯t know how to start.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you¡¯re in the third match. It¡¯s going to start soon. Did you observe your opponent? If your Spirit Eye picked up on anything, I can probably help design a strategy since I have some proficiency with magic duels,¡± Chen Mobai, considering himself as the team leader, felt it was essential to not only look after his classmates in between matches but also offer his knowledge and experience from the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°No need. My opponent is an average person with Qi Cultivation Level-6.1 have a 98% chance of winning,¡± Cao Yaling adjusted her glasses and glanced at a male student with a bowl-cut nearby. Her tone was calm but infused with confidence.


    ¡°Alright then, I hope that all of us from our school can progress to the next round in the first round itself. That¡¯s the only way we can do justice to the institution that nurtured us,¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Cao Yaling roll her eyes involuntarily.


    This guy is too formal for his age. Where did he learn these bureaucratic words from?

    Half an hour later, Shi Jingjing rushed over.


    ¡°Why are you so late? I have something to do in the morning,¡± Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too pleased with Shi Jingjing¡¯s tardiness.


    ¡°You were eliminated quickly, of course. My opponent had a set of Tortoise Shield Talismans. He kept me at bay for ten whole minutes. I was very close to using a Rank-1 high-grade talisman,¡± Shi Jingjing retorted.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother arguing. Chan Sze and her wealthier classmate had just sent him a message. They would be here soon.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving her in your care. I have to go..¡±

 Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Rising Fame_l

    Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Rising Fame_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°What did you say?!!!¡±


    At the peak, Shi Jingjing widened her eyes in disbelief, screaming out loud after hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s combat achievements.


    -He took out Qiao Xingwen in just one minute! You¡¯re not under some illusion spell, are you?¡±


    Cao Yaling knew Shi Jingjing wouldn¡¯t believe her. If Cao Yaling hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn¡¯t have believed it either.


    Even she, a cultivator of Qi Cultivation Rank-8, couldn¡¯t take out Qiao Xingwen in just one minute.


    Perhaps only someone like Gong Xiangyu with Qi Cultivation Rank-9, along with the use of powerful charms and spells, could do such a thing.


    ¡°The video has been uploaded, you can see for yourself.


    Cao Yaling opened the betting site, where one magic duel video after another


    had been uploaded according to the bracket.


    She selected the match between Chen Mobai and Qiao Xingwen, clicked on the small triangular button between the portraits of both players, and immediately began to buffer a short video.


    Really short, just one minute.


    Shi Jingjing immediately leaned over to watch.


    She saw that after the referee stepped down, Qiao Xingwen tantahzingly launched two Spirit Pills, and Chen Mobai avoided the attack with a conventional Propulsion Technique.


    But that was exactly what Qiao Xingwen had anticipated. He predicted Chen Mobai¡¯s landing point from the Propulsion Technique, and three more powerful spirit Pills burst out from his fingertips, calculating every possible direction Chen Mobai could move.


    Isn¡¯t this over then?


    Just as Shi Jingjing was thinking this, a Wooden Shield charm lit up in Chen


    Mobai¡¯s hand.


    Hmm, a pretty good response.


    Just as Shi Jingjing thought this, Chen Mobai threw out another charm with an even brighter spiritual light.


    Watery light shimmered like waves but in an instant it formed into a sword, striking in front of Qiao Xingwen.


    A Rank-1 intermediate grade ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡±, so the opponent was taken down just like that?


    just as Shi Jingjing was grappling with her confusion, Qiao Xingwen confidently used an Earth Shield Talisman, and with just this lower-grade defensive talisman, was able to block the Water Sword Talisman that Chen Mobai seemed to have thrown out in panic.


    Then, Qiao Xingwen¡¯s right hand spread open, and five Spirit Pills exploded, covering the advancing Chen Mobai who had to stop and dodge left and right to avoid the Spirit Pill attack.


    Just as one of the Spirit Pills was about to touch Chen Mobai, Qiao Xingwen suddenly froze and slumped unconscious.


    Shi Jingjing immediately rewound the video, replayed it at half speed, and watched three times over, even using her Spirit Eye to discern what had actually happened.


    She saw that the water from the Water Sword Talisman, which had originally been blocked by the Earth Shield Talisman, had turned into a stream that flowed beside Qiao Xingwen¡¯s foot. And when he used the Spirit Pills, this stream of water seemed to possess spirituality, like a Spirit snake, it flowed from the edge of the raised shield on the stone platform at his feet to behind him, rising up to the back of Qiao Xingwen¡¯s head.


    Then, a transparent water rod slammed down heavily.


    Without any defense, Qiao Xingwen was knocked unconscious.


    ¡°Water Controlling Technique?¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s face showed a hint of hesitation, Cao Yaling lightly nodded. ¡°The Water Sword Talisman was merely a decoy. Qiao Xingwen believed he had blocked this Rank-1 intermediate grade attacking talisman, directing all his attention towards any possible Rank-1 superior grade talisman that Chen Mobai could have potentially used. But he didn¡¯t anticipate that while the sword of the Water Sword Talisman was just an illusion, the real attack was the water after the sword dispersed.¡±


    ¡°Because we could use talismans, we all placed our trump cards on them, forgetting that the main purpose of a Magic Duel was to test our flexible use of spells.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, although he seems average, has grasped the core of all this. A simple Water Controlling Technique, combined with a Water Sword Talisman and an appropriate strategy, was enough to easily defeat a powerful opponent like Qiao Xingwen.¡±


    Cao Yaling personally witnessed Chen Mobai step by step designing this strategy, making Qiao Xingwen believe he controlled the overall situation, but then using the simplest of Water Controlling Technique to defeat his opponent. Before Shi Jingjing arrived, she had analyzed this intricate and magnificent duel in her head countless times.


    But the more she analyzed, the more she admired Chen Mobai.


    Who knew dueling could be so simple!


    There was no need for powerful talismans or advanced cultivation spells. Just one useful spell at the right time could easily crush an opponent who seemed unbeatable.


    ¡°Where did he go?¡±


    Shi Jingjing looked up and asked.


    ¡°He reportedly made plans to have lunch with Professor Chan.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to¡­ no, we¡¯re going to join them for lunch!¡± Before Cao Yaling¡¯s eyes could widen in surprise, Shi Jingjing had already dragged her in the direction Chen Mobai had departed, while simultaneously sending a message to him.


    The two had previously added each other as friends when Chen Mobai wanted to ask her about the betting site.


    But Chen Mobai was apparently not using his phone and had ignored her. Just as Shi Jingjing was about to give up, she saw that Professor Chan had made a call.


    ¡°How did you guys get here?¡±


    In the snack street of Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai returned after ordering five small dishes to find several familiar classmates sitting at his table.


    in addition to the familiar Song Zheng and Mo Simin, there were Xu Yuan, Shi Yuanqing, and others.


    Basically, more than half of the students from their school had arrived. ¡°I¡¯m your teacher. Since you¡¯re here at the Cinnabarite Institute to take your admission test, it¡¯s only natural for me as your host to welcome you, so I called everyone.¡±


    Chan Si, with a smile, sat down at the end of the long table. He gestured to the restaurant owner and ordered food for two more tables.


    ¡°I guess I won¡¯t be buying lunch after all.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt frustrated at how difficult it was for him to treat Chan Si to a meal.


    ¡°You¡¯ll get your chance. After all, you¡¯ve entered the next round, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Huh, how did you know? According to the odds, wasn¡¯t my chance of defeating Qiao Xingwen only 1%?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t yet told Chan Si and Fu Xuejie about his duel results when he met them.


    ¡°At first, I thought you had been eliminated and didn¡¯t want to bring up that sad topic but now your duel video is being widely shared in the forums of Red Sandstone City.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu looked at Chen Mobai, whose eyes were brimming with excitement. After hearing this, he immediately took out his phone and entered the forum.


    [Amazing upset-the Rank-7 Cultivator is defeated by a Rank-6] [The Magic Duel Artwork of the Fifth High School Top Scholar-just one simple Water Controlling Technique can turn the tide.]


    [Is the Third High School just too weak, or is the Fifth High much too strong?] [Such devious tactics.]

    After seeing the titles of the first dozen or so posts with small flame symbols, Chen Mobai, full of excitement, clicked to enter.


    Reading the complimentary comments about him made him involuntarily reveal a happy smile.


    Then, Chan Si and the others watched as Chen Mobai actually posted a message directly on the forum.


    [Thankyou all for your discussions. I, Chen Mobai, will continue to honor the Fifth High School¡¯s reputation in this Magic Duel. Please continue to support our school.]

 Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Wait for you at the final_l

    Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Wait for you at the final_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Unfortunately, this post was quickly drowned out.


    No one believed him, and the only two responses were from two students from the third high school. They were disgruntled because of Qiao Xingwen¡¯s defeat and upon seeing this post, they vented without confirming the truth.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to argue with them, and Shi Jingjing and Cao Yalmg arrived just in time.


    ¡°Basically all who have advanced have arrived. Those who haven¡¯t should have


    lost and are too embarrassed to show up.¡±


    Mo Simin did a headcount and found six people missing.


    She sat next to Chen Mobai and quietly asserted her judgment.


    ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s start eating.¡¯


    Chen Mobai was a bit hungry, seeing the table full of food, he couldn¡¯t help but


    pick up the chopsticks.


    ¡°What about Yan Bingxuan, her match is the last one.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she get a guaranteed spot and is no longer participating?


    ¡°It seems that the representative of the Nature Studies Academy added her name, saying that the opportunity to practice Magic Duel is rare, and she


    should not miss it.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only marvel.


    In no time, Yan Bingxuan arrived.


    She brought two unknown people, one with a constant squint, always laughing


    at everything, apparently very carefree.


    The other was a gloomy woman dressed in long-sleeved black attire, revealing her slender limbs and curvaceous figure. She was also wearing a large hat with a round top, which hid half of her face in shadow.


    just looking at her made her feel ominous and wanting to stay away.


    ¡°Who are these two?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could speak, Mo Simin pulled Yan Bingxuan to her side and asked casually.


    ¡°The laughing one is Kong Feichen, and the constantly frowning one is Yang


    Jing.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan spoke, Chen Mobai had not yet reacted, but Mo Simin gasped.


    Not only her, but the schoolmates who were preparing to eat all turned their heads tolook at the two of them.


    Even Chansi raised her head in surprise to look at the two people who had called for noodles at the noodle store at the entrance of the snack street and casually sat down to eat.


    ¡°I feel I¡¯ve heard these two names somewhere.¡±


    Song Zheng murmured to himself, and Chen Mobai also frowned.


    ¡°They are the two Different Spiritual Roots from the second high school, Wind Spiritual Root Kong Feichen, Dark Spirit Root Yang Jing, both are at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.¡±


    ¡°Along with Gong Xiangyu from the first high school and Yan Feng from Yuheng Private High School, they are the only four individuals at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in our batch.¡±


    ¡°Because they have Different Spiritual Roots, they were admitted to Nature Studies Academy when they were in their first year of high school. However, given the opportunity to enter the four Daoist Academies, they certainly wouldn¡¯t pass it up. Moreover, the Different Spiritual Root reaps twice the result with half the effort when practicing matching spells, and they might be more terrifying than Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng.


    As expected of the well-informed Shi Jingjing, she immediately found out the complete information on these two people.


    ¡°So they¡¯re Different Spiritual Roots, no wonder.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked enlightened.


    in the world of immortals, more than half of the Different Spiritual Roots choose to attend Nature Studies Academy.


    Since Yan Bingxuan is an Ice Spirit Root, if it weren¡¯t for the entrance exam of Magic Duel, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing might have joined Nature Studies Academy with her.


    ¡°They¡¯ve been listening to my aunt¡¯s lectures with me recently.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said while eating.


    The representative from the Nature Studies Academy this time turned out to be her aunt, who is at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment level. She seems to want to sever all her worldly ties before Core Formation, so she personally came to accept Yan Bingxuan as her closed-door disciple.


    Since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing are rare Different Spiritual Roots, the Nature Studies Academy also wanted to incorporate such outstanding talents into the school. So after Yan Qiongzhi arrived in Red Sandstone City, she simply called them over to teach with Yan Bingxuan.


    If it weren¡¯t for the chance to get into the four Daoist Academies through this Magic Duel, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing would¡¯ve agreed to join Nature Studies Academy after receiving such excellent treatment.


    ¡°Let¡¯s invite them over for the meal.¡±


    Chansi had ordered food to fill two large tables which was too much for them to finish, so she requested Yan Bingxuan to call Kong Feichen and Yang Jing to come and eat with them.


    The former immediately put down his noodles with a cheerful smile and casually sat down to enjoy the feast.


    However, Yang Jing declined with a shake of her head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind her. She likes being alone. The more people there are, the more uncomfortable she feels.¡±


    As they both came from the second high school, Kong Feichen was very familiar with Yang Jing and when he saw Chansi going over to invite her in person, he immediately stood up to stop her.


    ¡°What kind of Different Spiritual Root is Dark Spirit Root?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai knew that this category existed among Different Spiritual Roots, this type of Spiritual Root is said to be seen once in a hundred years, and those who have achieved something are extremely rare.


    The highest realm reached by one was a Core Formation real person.


    ¡°It seems to be about cultivating Yin spiritual power. In the ancient times, this type of Spiritual Root was a highly sought-after genius among the demon paths.¡±


    Shi Jingjing came over and answered his question.


    The Demon Path has been extinct for five thousand years, utterly exterminated by the Righteous Hall of the Celestial Sect.


    Chen Mobai muttered in his heart, and also gave up on his inquiry about Yang Jing.


    From the moment he saw the two of them come with Yan Bingxuan, he instinctively felt their strength.


    No wonder they are Different Spiritual Roots, and at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. If they were to face him, they should be formidable opponents.


    He originally thought that the Magic Duel would be rather dull.


    Especially after he easily defeated Qiao Xingwen, who was touted by Xu Yuan and others as impressive but turned out to be not up to par, this feeling intensified.


    But after seeing Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, Chen Mobai felt that he might not be able to dominate this Magic Duel so effortlessly.


    After all, he is currently only at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, facing opponents two realms higher.


    He still needs to design a good strategy.


    Throughout the meal, Chen Mobai was thinking about how to respond if he met Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    Kong Feichen was fine, Wind Spiritual Root is the most common Different Spiritual Root, and there are many references.


    But for the Dark Spirit Root, there were no related posts even on the auxiliary cultivation software.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I have heard a lot about you.


    just as Chen Mobai was thinking about defeating them, Kong Feichen walked over with a smile and greeted him.


    ¡°Do we know each other?¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t before, but I saw your video where you swiftly defeated your opponent in the Magic Duel. In all honesty, even if I went up there, I would¡¯ve at most performed the same way.¡±


    Kong Feichen¡¯s words were full of confidence. Chen Mobai looked him up and down, and then nodded slightly.


    ¡°Yes, you might also defeat Qiao Xingwen in under a minute.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing his words, it was Kong Feichen who was taken aback, and the smile on his face disappeared.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I hope you don¡¯t lose before facing me.¡±


    Finally, Kong Feichen extended his right hand to Chen Mobai and said this sentence sincerely.


    Under the gaze of more than twenty students from the fifth high school, Chen Mobai also extended his hand, nodded in agreement, and replied,


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll wait for you at the finals..¡±

 Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Further Victory_l

    Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Further Victory_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Kong Feichen thought people who could show off like him were already rare, but he didn¡¯t expect that in tiny Red Sandstone City, there was someone who could outdo him.


    He wanted to say something to recover his pride.


    But with his limited experience, he couldn¡¯t think of anything more bragging than Chen Mobai¡¯s phrase ¡°See you at the finals¡±.


    just when he can¡¯t help scratching his head, Yang Jing finished his noodles, indicating it¡¯s time to leave.


    ¡°See you at the final.¡±


    In the end, that was the only thing Kong Feichen can come up with.


    Once they left, the remaining students at High School Number 5 turned their gaze toward Chen Mobai. Xu Yuan gave him a thumbs up. He also had a strong self-pride, but he didn¡¯t even have the courage to challenge Kong Feichen, a ninth-rank Qi Cultivator with a Wind Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Eat up, the food is getting cold.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel at all braggy about what he had just said, he


    was only confident in himself.


    Meanwhile.


    At the same time, Gong Xiangyu, who was cultivating his Qi in a Rank-2 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling at the Cinnabarite Institute, also saw a short video sent by his classmates.


    He pressed play and saw one of the two guys dueling was Chen Mobai, the one he was told to watch out for.


    After watching, he silently turned off the phone and continued to meditate and


    practice Qi.


    Such a rival was somewhat interesting.


    He was initially worried that Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t be able to compete against him and would be eliminated.


    But now, he felt relieved.


    After lunch, many classmates decided to rent the Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings provided by the Cinnabarite Institute at the recommendation of Jianshi.


    Chen Mobai originally planned to go home, but after thinking about it, he realized he wasn¡¯t short of money.


    After all, this was the entrance exam that could change his life. Although he was confident, he still needed to take it seriously.


    The next round was in seven days, and the round trip would waste almost a


    day.


    If something unexpected occurred, maybe he could master a spell, or possibly break through a realm.


    By staying here, he could also keep an eye on his opponents.


    Although there was information and uploaded battle videos on the odds website.


    Some things, however, were more certain when witnessed with his own eyes.


    The first day of dueling ended in the evening.


    After watching a few interesting matches, Chen Mobai rented a Cave Dwelling and found it was very cheap.


    Just showing the entrance exam certificate, the Cinnabarite Institute had a special reservation of 200 top-tier Rank-1 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings for them, costing only 20 Good Deed Points a day symbolically.


    Chen Mobai paid the fees for a month.


    Early the next morning, he arrived at the peak arena of Zone B.


    The winner here would be his next opponent.


    What Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect, however, was that he had already become famous.


    As soon as he arrived, many people were secretly looking at him and whispering. Even the two competitors on stage looked his way, one of them even showed a provocative expression.


    In the end, a student named Shen Jian from the Number One High School won.


    Those who dared to provoke usually had some strength.


    Although Shen Jian was only a Rank- 6 Qi Cultivator, he had mastered a set of boxing techniques. After his opponent used up all his talismans, he easily won the duel with close-quarters combat.


    This method was somewhat similar to the Tianhe Realm.


    Cultivators there, due to the lack of Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques, would major in martial arts to enhance their battle abilities during Qi Cultivation.


    However, in the later stages of Qi Cultivation, as spiritual power increases, martial arts would gradually be abandoned by the cultivators, who then start focusing on spells and Magic Artifacts as standard means of dueling. After seven consecutive days, Chen Mobai found that there were quite a few people who practiced martial arts.


    Among the Rank-6 Qi Cultivation duels, those who practiced martial arts had an 80% chance of winning. Even two of them managed to defeat Rank-7 cultivators, gaining great popularity.


    However, compared to Chen Mobai, who cleanly defeated Qiao Xingwen with a simple Water Controlling Technique, these two could only be described as barely winning.


    One of them, although victorious, was seriously injured and had to give up entering the next round.


    Time quickly arrived for the second round.


    Chen Mobai was still the first match, but compared to the first round when only Cao Yaling was watching, the remaining students from Middle School Five who had qualified for the second round, except for a few who also had to compete at the same time, all came to watch.


    ¡°Go for it.¡±


    Class President Mo Simin shouted loudly to Chen Mobai.


    Although the other students didn¡¯t shout like her, they all raised their hands. ¡°What a pity that so many of your friends have to witness your downfall.¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, Shen Jian, had been waiting on the arena stage for a long time and strangely provoked Chen Mobai again when he saw him.


    ¡°Referee, can we start now?¡±


    in response, Chen Mobai only turned his head to ask the referee teacher this question.


    If he dealt with this opponent for just a moment, it would be a waste of his own time.


    ¡°Damn it, I will definitely reveal your true face to Qing Nu.¡± just as the referee nodded, blew the whistle and left the arena, Shen Jian shouted angrily, then immediately threw two talismans at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Qing Nu?¡±


    Chen Mobai finally remembered this opponent. It seemed he was also present at the farewell dinner last time.


    Based on his words, was he actually in the same class as Qing Nu?


    ¡°What nonsense.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually used a Wooden Shield charm, but his opponent¡¯s was a Fireball Talisman, which only lasted for a second.


    [Oh, wasn¡¯t he using Rock Spikes Talisman yesterday? Did he change his talisman combination this round because he knew I used a Wooden Shield charm, deliberately aiming at the few talismans I exposed?]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s fighting consciousness kicked in.


    After the Wooden Shield charm shattered, the Water Sword Talisman flew out. Within an instant, a stream of clear water became a crystal water sword, which split two fireballs and landed in front of his opponent.


    However, a golden light shone on his opponent¡¯s body, blocking this Water Sword Talisman.


    Chen Mobai also had this talisman, the Rank-1 intermediate-grade Golden Light Talisman.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already figured out your tactics.¡±


    Wrapped in the golden light shielding all water outside his body, Shen Jian slapped two talismans on his legs. His speed suddenly increased threefold.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled as Shen Jian¡¯s fists came before his forehead.


    Bang! Bang!


    Just as Mo Simin and the others under the stage could not help but close their eyes, not wanting to see Chen Mobai being defeated, the sound of water hitting a boulder rang out.


    ¡°What a superb Water Controlling Technique.¡±


    Song Zheng could not help praising.


    Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, and others who originally had their eyes closed looked up and saw a layer of clear water waves, like a barrier, appearing in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s face, swirling and completely dissipating Shen Jian¡¯s fist strength.


    Water Elemental Shield!

    ¡°Quite imaginative, but you¡¯re too weak compared to me.


    Seeing Shen Jian in front of him, his fists entangled by his dark water and unable to free himself, Chen Mobai said these words lightly after he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it heavily onto his opponent¡¯s chin. He thought this punch could knock his opponent out, but the sturdy body of a martial artist gave a strong rebound, causing his hand to hurt a little.


    ¡°Tsk, a tough nut to crack indeed.¡±


    Shen Jian roared angrily, throwing off the shackles of the dark water. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, feeling that this person was not worthy of his Cold ice Technique, so he slapped a Coiling Talisman on him to bind him again. The dark water that had been shaken off by his opponent wrapped around his fist like a spirit snake, forming a large transparent water fist that smashed onto his chin again.


    Two blood-stained front teeth were directly knocked out..

 Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Third Round_l

    Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Third Round_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Just stretching my muscles a bit.¡±


    After knocking his opponent unconscious, Chen Mobai rotated his right hand in a circle. He hadn¡¯t hit anyone this hard in a long time and found it somewhat unfamiliar.


    ¡°Referee!¡±


    He sat down and pushed the opponent who had fallen on the ring. After confirming that he was unconscious, Chen Mobai called out to the referee who had just stepped off the ring less than a minute ago.


    ¡°The winner is, Chen Mobai.¡±


    The referee was also very straightforward, directly declaring the winner.


    Amidst the surrounding hustle and bustle, Chen Mobai stepped down from the ring.


    Students from the Fifth High School immediately came forward. Seeing Chen Mobai live was completely different from watching the video. He had remarkably managed to defeat his opponent in a minute, leaving many astonished.


    Shi Jingjing had already uploaded the fight video she recorded. At the same time, she secretly bet on the odds website that Chen Mobai would advance to the fourth round.


    ¡°How are you so powerful?¡±


    Song Zheng couldn¡¯t help but ask. He knew Chen Mobai might be a bit stronger in terms of Spell Cultivation, but he had no idea that Chen Mobai could be so powerful.


    He also knew the Water Controlling Technique and the Flowing Water Cover, similar to the Water Elemental Shield.


    But he admitted that whether it was the timing of the application or the combination with the talisman, it fell short of Chen Mobai¡¯s proficiency. The latter has formed a complete system combining Spell and talisman. It is not simply one plus one equals two, but the power has increased exponentially.


    ¡°I suppose it all comes down to practice makes perfect.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai felt that he had sublimated in the fight with the demonic beasts on Green Light Island.


    Although there were many opponents in this Magic Duel whose realm was higher than his ¨C such as the four Qi Cultivation ninths, let alone Xu Yuan, Shi Jingjing, and others who were Qi Cultivation eighths.


    Yet, whoever it was, Chen Mobai faced them with a nameless confidence.


    Such a child¡¯s play-like Magic Duel was too simple for him, a real warrior who has been honed on the edge of life and death. It was like an attack from a dimension reduction.


    So no matter who the opponent was, Chen Mobai always had an unhurried and confident demeanor.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡±


    At this time, Cao Yaling spoke up. She was also in the second round in this field.


    As a Qi Cultivation eighth, she was considered one of the seeded players who were exempted from the initial rounds, but the fight was a shock to everyone because she won with great difficulty.


    Her opponent was also a martial artist. Coupled with Cao Yaling¡¯s poor Magic Duel-based fighting, she was suppressed initially.


    But in the end, she relied on her Spirit Eye to see through the opponent¡¯s flaws, using more Spiritual Power to exhaust her opponent until he was defeated.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, you must make it into the fourth round.


    At lunch, Shi Jingjing suddenly said this in a mysterious tone.


    ¡°Hmm? You didn¡¯t bet on me, did you?¡±


    Inferring her intentions through her words, Chen Mobai glanced at her while eating.


    ¡°Just a little.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you can¡¯t bet?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t bet on myself, and I bet on you winning.


    Chen Mobai thought of his Good Deed Points balance, which was a little over three thousand points, and an idea flashed in his mind.


    At dusk.


    He called Qing Nu.


    ¡°Are you sure you want to place such a bet?


    ¡°Consider it as putting some pressure on myself.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, after all, such a small amount of Good Deed Points can¡¯t even cover the cost of the materials for one bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.¡± Qing Nu looked at the link Chen Mobai had sent her and the three thousand Good Deed Points he had transferred to her. Unaware that this was all he had, she obediently placed a bet on Chen Mobai¡¯s victory.


    ¡°A 1:100 odds, not bad.¡±


    ¡°How much? Wasn¡¯t it 1:150 when I watched at noon?¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback when he saw the screenshot sent to him by Qing


    Nu.


    He immediately asked the insider, Shi Jingjing, who told him that odds change constantly with the betting pool. It probably changed because after the footage of Chen Mobai¡¯s morning match was uploaded, some gamblers thought highly of him and wanted to place a bet on him winning the championship, which in turn caused his odds of winning to drop.


    In any case, the bookmaker never loses.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, I thought the odds were static.¡±


    Chen Mobai finally understood after reading the long string of text explanations sent by Shi Jingjing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bet on yourself. If you want to bet, you can transfer your Good Deed


    Points to me and I¡¯ll bet for you.¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s words have changed, but Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t trust her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just looking, not betting.¡±


    On the betting website.


    The favorites are still the four at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Among them, Yan Feng had the lowest odds at just 1:8 because of his superior family background. Most gamblers believe that he can pull out a powerful rune paper that can determine the outcome of the match.


    Kong Feichen came second, followed by Gong Xiangyu, and finally, it was the gloomy Yang Jing.


    The public sentiment was indeed quite aligned with Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts. It¡¯s truly said that the public¡¯s eyes are sharp.


    Beyond these four, the odds were all over 50. Basically, most people have defaulted that the final champion would be decided among these four.


    However, with more Magic Duels, there have indeed been some unexpected situations.


    For instance, during the first round, two sixth levels of Qi Cultivation defeated a seventh level, causing numerous gamblers to lose heavily.


    But in the second round, such an occurrence did not happen again. Even Qi Cultivators who were not as proficient in Magic Duels, such as Cao Yaling, relied on their much stronger Spiritual Power to seize victory in the most stable manner.


    All the sixth level Qi Cultivators were eliminated in this round.


    One of them was Mo Simin. However, after feeling upset for half a day, she peacefully accepted the outcome the next morning. She then went to watch Yan Bingxuan¡¯s second round match with Chen Mobai.


    The match was extremely thrilling.


    Her opponent was a seventh level Qi Cultiver from the 2nd high school. Yan Bingxuan had used up all of her rune papers and only finally defeated her opponent after relying on her strong Ice Spirit Power.


    But the luck didn¡¯t rub off on Shi Jingjing who was up next.


    She was matched against an eighth level Qi Cultivator from a private high school named Jade Heng. His name was Hong Gang, and he was surprisingly practicing a skill called Vajra Body. Even though Shi Jingjing saw through his defense, she still ended up losing despite using up all her rune papers, due to the combat capability difference.


    After coming off the stage, Shi Jingjing¡¯s eyes were red. But with the comfort of her friends like Cao Yaling, she gradually calmed down.


    Thanks to her sacrifice, Song Zheng, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing did not encounter terrifying opponents like Hong Gang on the third day, and all easily advanced to the next round.


    Of course, all the other students from the Fifth High School were eliminated in the second round.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai¡¯s information on the betting website has been updated in real-time to a seventh level Qi Cultivator. After two rounds of matches, even people with the poorest judgement could see his real Cultivation Level.


    The 70 students who entered the third round were all in the Later Stage of Qi Cultivation.

    The intensity of the Magic Duel suddenly became entirely different.


    Besides, at this point, it was impossible to avoid competing with students from the same school.


    Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling were matched against each other.


    Yan Bingxuan was even more unlucky, as she was matched against Yan Feng. Song Zheng was set against an opponent called Xue Luan, who was a student soldier who went through military training with Xu Yuan and others. He was the strongest among them and was given the title ¡®Student Soldier King. Shi Yuanqing was set against a figure named Wu Xue, who was an eight level Qi Cultivator from the First High School, and second only to Gong Xiangyu in talent.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai was very lucky. He was matched against an ordinary seventh level Qi Cultivator..

    The third round of the Magic Duel.


    It is finally not Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to compete first.


    However, his mood is heavier than when he himself has to fight.


    That¡¯S because on the stage, Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling, who are both his classmates, are fighting. Torn between two sides you care for, regardless of who gets eliminated, it would be a loss for the Fifth High School.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    After the referee¡¯s announcement to start, Cao Yaling gave a polite bow to Xu Yuan with both hands, and he also returned the courtesy. Then, both of them did not use talismans, and began to duel using only spells.


    Xu Yuan cultivates a cultivation technique of dual attributes of earth and fire. Although he hasn¡¯t practiced any powerful spells, he can already convert earth into rock, and rock into earth, and continuously transform between the two states. He can attack and defend at the same time, which is very suitable for a Magic Duel.


    Cao Yaling has never disclosed her cultivation technique, but it must be very powerful as well. Chen Mobai can sense her Spirit Eye, which is a useful auxiliary spell in a Magic Duel.


    In this round of fight, both sides agreed tacitly not to use talismans.


    With one stomp of Xu Yuan¡¯s foot, the rock-made stage began to loosen and turned into mud, which coalesced into a black long sword in his palm.


    However, Cao Yaling waved a finger in the blink of an eye when the sword took shape, and a strong gust of wind shot towards Xu Yuan¡¯s earth sword, causing it to warp and disintegrate.


    But when the dirt dispersed, it quickly coalesced again under the infusion of Xu Yuan¡¯s spiritual power.


    The spiritual light flickered in Cao Yaling¡¯s eyes, she had already seen the follow-up changes, and knew that if she didn¡¯t break Xu Yuan¡¯s rock sword at the beginning, what awaited her would be her own defeat.


    Therefore, unlike the last round, she didn¡¯t choose to exhaust her opponent with her powerful spiritual power. Instead, she burst out all her spiritual power in an instant, and her slender, fair-skinned hands crossed to form a triangle pointing at Xu Yuan.


    Golden Light Cannon!


    The splendid golden glow erupted between Cao Yaling¡¯s fingers, enveloping Xu Yuan s entire body like a divine light from heaven.


    Bang!


    After a loud noise, dust filled the sky.


    Cao Yaling gasped violently, sweat sweating from her forehead. This move was her trump card that she had practiced for this Magic Duel. She thought she could at least save it for the next round.


    ¡°Did she win?¡±


    Shi Jingjing looked nervously at her.


    ¡°Seems so.¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned. He couldn¡¯t see the situation in the dust, but just before Cao Yaling¡¯s magic spell was launched, he saw Xu Yuan disperse his earth sword. The rock armor he formed only covered half of his body.


    Cao Yaling had exhausted all her spiritual power with this move. Even for him, he would have to use his talismans, Water Elemental Shield and even the Cold¡¯ Ice Technique to be able to block it unharmed in a head-on confrontation.


    It seemed that Xu Yuan had some reservations, wanting to win impressively but not wanting Cao Yaling to lose too horribly. His hesitation during the casting of the spell made him lose to Cao Yaling, who unexpectedly launched a full-force attack with the ¡°Golden Light Cannon¡± as soon as the duel started.


    Sure enough, when the dust settled, Xu Yuan was coughing violently, covered in dust, kneeling on one knee, a thin stream of blood trickled from his mouth and nose, looking utterly defeated.


    ¡°How can you hesitate in a Magic Duel?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched this scene and sighed.


    Originally, in the Fifth High School, apart from himself, only Xu Yuan had the potential to advance to the next round. As he was against Cao Yaling who was not good at Magic Duels, everyone thought he was guaranteed to win.


    However, in the face of an almost certain victory, he made a very youthful mistake.


    He hesitated, and then he was defeated.


    Xu Yuan, feeling the numbness in his right leg and the chaos in his body meridians, couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, surrendering by raising his hand.


    ¡°I concede.¡±


    After a bow, Cao Yaling immediately ran over to help him up.


    ¡°It¡¯s not enough cultivation on my part. Yuanqing, you mustn¡¯t make the same mistake as I did.¡±


    In the face of his schoolmates who rushed onto the stage, Xu Yuan said this to his best friend Shi Yuanqing then passed out reassuredly.


    Chen Mobai clearly saw Shi Yuanqing¡¯s hands clenching tightly, nodding his head resolutely.


    The next round would be his turn, and his opponent is also a female.


    It¡¯s this stage again.


    ¡°How is Yan Bingxuan doing?¡±


    Taking advantage of the break after Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling¡¯s magic duel, Chen Mobai immediately called Mo Simin. Although she had already been eliminated, she stayed at the Cinnabarite Institute, saying she would cheer them on.


    Due to conflicting schedules, Chen Mobai asked her to stay with Yan Bingxuan while he watched this match and Mo Simin watched another.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, Yan Feng is too strong.¡±


    Mo Simin¡¯s tone was very heavy, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, he thought that the duel between Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling that ended so quickly was fast enough, he did not expect the match between Yan Bingxuan and Yan Feng to be so quick as well.


    ¡°Did you record the video of the fight?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to end so quickly, I didn¡¯t get a chance to, but Yan Bingxuan only managed to withstand half a move.¡±


    ¡°Right, comfort her for me, tell her I¡¯ll avenge her.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you comfort her yourself¡­¡±


    Before Mo Simin could finish, she heard the busy tone, Chen Mobai had hung up the phone, which left her angrily slapping the stone bench beneath her.


    Next to her, Yan Bingxuan leaned on her shoulder, pale and weak


    ¡°My name is Wu Xue, pleasure to meet you.¡±


    The reason why Chen Mobai hung up the phone was because Shi Yuanqing¡¯s opponent had entered the stage.


    The girl named Wu Xue had a graceful figure, beautiful face, and a bewitching charm hidden within her smile.


    ¡°Shi Yuanqing.¡±


    After exchanging names, the referee announced the start of the magic duel.


    With a ¡°bang¡±.


    Shi Yuanqing¡¯s hands pressed on the rocky surface of the stage, instantly shattering the rock into large granules. He then seemingly pulled out two stone whips from the earth, violently whipping them towards Wu Xue.


    ¡°Truly doesn¡¯t know how to cherish a woman.¡±


    Wu Xue¡¯s eyebrows knotted, apparently oblivious to the fate of the last person who tried to cherish a woman on this stage.


    She shook her hands, revealing two Godspeed Talismans which she placed on her long legs.


    Chen Mobai had seen Shen Jian use this talisman before, its speed surprised even him.


    It seemed that for those from The First High School who participated in the magic duel, the Godspeed Talisman was standard equipment.


    With that thought, Wu Xue¡¯s graceful figure danced as if evading lashings from the stone whips and, amazingly, made a swift twist and rushed towards Shi Yuanqing. Her long fingers turned into claws, fiercely aiming for her opponent¡¯s forehead.


    A golden light emerged, blocking the attack.


    Golden Light Talisman, a very practical talisman.


    Chen Mobai nodded silently, and at that moment, Shi Yuanqing spat out a flame. But Wu Xue was able to sidestep the flames at close range thanks to the speed of the Godspeed Talisman.


    ¡°How long does this Godspeed Talisman last?¡±


    Chen Mobai identified the problem and asked Shi Jingjing standing next to him.


    ¡°Selling of Godspeed Talismans that last more than ten minutes is officially approved by our school.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°So you mean, there¡¯s no upper limit to the duration of the Godspeed Talisman?¡±


    If this was the case, isn¡¯t this talisman the most powerful talisman in this duel!


    Well, not exactly, if it lasts more than ten minutes but less than thirty minutes, it¡¯s considered a lower-grade Rank-i talisman; if it lasts more than thirty minutes, it¡¯s considered an intermediate-grade Rank-t talisman; if it lasts more than an hour, it¡¯s considered an upper-grade Rank-1 talisman.¡±


    Even so, this talisman is a bit too powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, pondering various tactics to counter this Godspeed Talisman in his mind..

    Chapter 111: Chapter ill Green Jade Talisman_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Just as Chen Mobai was contemplating how to break this Godspeed Talisman, Shi Yuanqing on the stage was displaying his true strength.


    While Wu Xue was moving at high speed, she suddenly found her right foot confined.


    Looking down, she saw a thread of dust, like a chain, seeping out from the cracks of the rock-composed stage and hooking onto her ankle.


    ¡°Got you.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing said coldly, then spread his right hand¡¯s five fingers. The rocks under his feet lifted, and with a wave of his palm, they flooded Wu Xue like a rain of flowers.


    Hum!


    However, Wu Xue, being the sole genius second to Gong Xiangyu in the first high school, made it to this round by defeating many opponents, was no pushover.


    She clasped her hands, activated a talisman, and a pool of clear water wrapped around her forming a powerful defense.


    ¡°Water Dragon Talisman!¡±


    Seeing this talisman, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    This was one of his favorite talismans, part of the same set as the Water Sword Talisman, but it was a Rank-1 superior product and close to Rank-2 in power. It¡¯s a formidable talisman with both offensive and defensive capabilities.


    ¡°Is it another quick decisive strike?¡±


    Shi Jingjing murmured, regretting her hesitation. During the second round, she unconsciously engaged in a protracted battle with Hong Gang and ended up losing to his powerful vitality and his Vajra Body technique.


    Cao Yaling learned from her mistake, knowing that if it came to a drawn-out fight, females definitely couldn¡¯t outlast males, so she adopted a quick and decisive strategy.


    Wu Xue, who had witnessed the entire fight from below the stage, adopted Cao Yaling¡¯s strategy as her own.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s improving, is this the point of the Magic Duel?


    Chen Mobai noticed that compared to the first round, many students who were initially flustered on stage, now had a basic sense of strategy.


    If Qiao Xingwen was allowed to have a few more matches before encountering him, it would probably take him five minutes to defeat him.


    On the stage, backed by the powerful spiritual powers of the Water Dragon Talisman, Wu Xue soared like a dragon goddess, wrapped in spiraling water streams that formed a half-transparent dragon-shaped water shadow.


    But, learning from Xu Yuan¡¯s lesson, Shi Yuanqing also activated his own talisman at the same time.


    He held a beautiful talisman, which was as clear and transparent as jade and had a faint floral pattern, with two fingers of his right hand and attached it to his forehead.


    Broken pieces of jade porcelain tiles spread from the talisman to cover Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body, transforming into a Porcelain Armor with no blind spots in no time.


    ¡°Green Jade Talisman!¡±


    Shi Jingjing, Shi Yuanqing¡¯s cousin, couldn¡¯t help showing envy when she saw this talisman.


    A dragon roar echoed, accompanied by a wave of water sweeping everything in its path.


    Exuding all of her spiritual power, Wu Xue pushed the power of her talisman to its apex. Her skin turned red as she rammed into Shi Yuanqing, who was entirely covered in his Jade Porcelain Armor.


    Boom!


    The center of the stage began to twist slightly where the two talismans collided, and there was even a faint thunderous rumble.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t bear the intense spiritual light, forcing him to squint.


    However, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling on the side used their Spirit Eye to keept their gaze fixed on the outcome of the talismen clash.


    ¡°We won!¡±


    Shi Jingjing cheered as the spiritual light at the center of the stage gradually faded. Chen Mobai saw Wu Xue slump beside Shi Yuanqing¡¯s feet. The latter crouched down and swung his right hand, striking heavily on Wu Xue¡¯s pale neck.


    With wide eyes, Wu Xue who thought Shi Yuanqing might show mercy because she was a woman, passed out in disbelief.


    ¡°Referee.¡±


    Having finished his task, Shi Yuanqing coldly called out to the referee outside


    the arena.


    ¡°This guy, he seems to have gone a bit extreme.


    Chen Mobai saw Shi Yuanqing¡¯s actions. From a Magic Duel¡¯s point of view, there was nothing wrong, but he still felt something was off.


    ¡°He¡¯s been shy since he was little, and only Xu Yuan could make him lower his guard.¡±


    Shi Jingjing began to babble. Shi Yuanqing was the one with the best Spiritual Root Talent among their generation in their family, but he was timid and looked like a child, almost developed autism due to the excessive expectations from his family.


    The Xu family and the Shi family were neighbors. Every time the two families communicate, Xu Yuan would play with Shi Yuanqing. Over the decades, their bond had grown closer than actual brothers.


    ¡°Yuanqing was the first in our school to reach the Qi Cultivation eighth layer. If he didn¡¯t have to worry about Xu Yuan¡¯s feelings and suppress his own progress, he might have reached the Qi Cultivation ninth layer.¡± Shi Jingjing knew best about Shi Yuanqing¡¯s talent. His Earth and Fire Dual Spiritual Root Talent were extremely high, and he was no less than Gong Xiangyu. His cultivation of Green Jade Jue perfectly fit him.


    After hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai, looking at Shi Yuanqing who silently walked down from the arena, had an idea.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has been eliminated, the responsibility he can¡¯t carry would be shouldered by you.¡±


    ?


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling on the side were completely bemused, having no clue what Chen Mobai was talking about.


    However, the usually indifferent Shi Yuanqing showed a flash of determination in his eyes upon hearing these words. He then pounded on his chest and vigorously nodded.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    Are these two crazy!?


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling realized they couldn¡¯t keep up with the thought processes of these two.


    If Mo Simin were here, she would resonate strongly with them.


    ¡°Next up is Song Zheng, but I won¡¯t have time to watch.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the time. His match would start in an hour. Moreover, the arena wasn¡¯t here; he needed to go to another peak.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, they¡¯re all basically eliminated anyway, we won¡¯t watch either.¡± Shi Jingjing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai sigh, wondering how Song Zheng had such poor popularity.


    ¡°Old Song still has some skills and he has mastered quite a few strong spells. Maybe he¡¯ll create an upset.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that his match was almost guaranteed, resolving within one minute.


    His classmates coming with him wouldn¡¯t have much to watch.


    They should go cheer for Song Zheng instead. Perhaps just this little outside help might spark something in him.


    ¡°Xue Luan¡¯s strength is comparable to mine. Song Zheng¡¯s chance of winning is less than io%.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing spoke.

    After the college entrance examination, in order to hone their Magic Duel skills, he and Xu Yuan had been sent to the army by their parents through connections. Among the fifty people of the same batch, the most formidable were him and Xue Luan.


    Shi Yuanqing had suppressed his own strength slightly so as not to overshadow Xu Yuan, but Xue Luan had seen through it.


    During a practice duel, Xue Luan deliberately injured Xu Yuan, infuriating Shi Yuanqing.


    That night on the drill ground, Shi Yuanqing found Xue Luan, who had been waiting for him, and the two had a fierce duel.


    Although Shi Yuanqing was stronger than Xu Yuan, he still lost due to having suppressed himself for a long time..

 Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Final Round_i

    Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Final Round_i


    Translator: 549690339


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s meteoric rise, Shi Yuanqing was indisputably the top student at the Fairy Gate¡¯s Fifth High School.


    Song Zheng was a prodigy too, but only at the Qi Cultivation level 7, ranking below both Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling, and was no match for Shi Yuanqing. Now, his opponent is Xue Luan, who had defeated a fully-committed Shi Yuanqing.


    As they were talking, they had already reached the arena where Chen Mobai would duel.


    Trading blows with him was Kan An, a Qi Cultivation level 7 student from the same academy.


    And his observation of Kan An was accurate.


    Just another ordinary opponent.


    It took him less than two minutes to end the fight.


    As he left the stage amidst the cheering, Chen Mobai checked on Song Zheng¡¯s duel, which was still underway.


    The result, however, came in a dozen minutes later.


    As Shi Yuanqing had predicted, Song Zheng lost.


    At this point, there were only three students left from the Fairy Gate¡¯s Fifth High School.


    In the fourth round, Chen Mobai was still lucky, faced with another ordinary Qi Cultivation level 7 fighter ¨C slightly stronger than Kan An but lasting only three minutes.


    However, for the first time in this round of duels, Chen Mobai used a rank-1 high-tier talisman.


    The Soldier-transformation Talisman.


    He was quietly laying a small subplot for the tactics of the last two rounds.


    Shi Yuanqing, on the other hand, faced a strong enemy ¨C a Qi Cultivation level 8 master of palm techniques. But by unleashing his latent capacities, he demonstrated awe-inspiring combat abilities and defeated the opponent to advance to the next round.


    But Cao Yaling didn¡¯t possess such strength. She encountered a woman named Ji Jing, and despite changing her tactics to rely on her Spirit Eye to seek the opponent¡¯s weak points during this battle of attrition, she lacked both focus and willpower. In the end, she was the first to exhaust all her Spiritual Power and had to concede defeat.


    In the fifth round, Chen Mobai finally encountered an interesting opponent named Jia Mo, a Qi Cultivation level 8 student from the Second High School.


    He attended the same school as the Different Spiritual Root bearers Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    However, when Jia Mo entered the field, he seemed intimidated.


    ¡°I know I¡¯m not your match, but I will do my best.¡±


    Once the referee was offstage, an earnest Jia Mo spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Have you ever sparred with Kong Feichen?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, causing Jia Mo to hesitate, but before he could respond, Chen Mobai asked another question.


    ¡°How long can you last against him?¡±


    If he goes all out, I guess I would only hold out for three moves.¡±


    After hearing Jia Mo¡¯s response, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    Three moves imply that, without using any talismans, he could defeat you with three spells.¡±


    These mumblings stirred Jia Mo¡¯s curiosity; he felt overlooked by Chen Mobai who was standing in the ring, but seemed to be in a discussion elsewhere.


    How conceited!


    Fuming with indignation, Jia Mo deployed two intermediate grade rank-1 talismans.


    Coincidentally.


    Chen Mobai also possessed these ¨C the Wind Blade Talisman and the Wind Binding Talisman. When used in conjunction, their power increased by thirty percent.


    With the activation of the talismans, bluish wind blades began to gleam in the sky.


    Then, whirlwinds rose, enhancing the power of the wind blades.


    As Jia Mo¡¯s Divine Sense moved, a wind blade hurtled towards Chen Mobai. A wooden shield materialized out of thin air, effortlessly blocking the first wind blade, but what followed was a continuous and intricate web of eight wind blades covering every possible escape direction for Chen Mobai.


    As the Wind Blades rapidly emerged, they also stirred a flurry of cyan whirlwinds, abruptly halting the airflow within a three-meter radius around Chen Mobai. It made his movements involuntary and slow, and his limbs stiff.


    This was the combined effect of using the Wind Blade Talisman and the Wind Binding Talisman together, they could promote each other¡¯s effects.


    Just by these two charms alone, Jia Mo used them more skillfully than Chen Mobai. Plus his talismans were clearly of better quality, vastly different from the cheap common ones that Chen Mobai would buy online.


    However, under the triple protection of the Wooden Shield charm, Golden Light Talisman, and the Water Elemental Shield, Jia Mo¡¯s Wind Blade Talisman still couldn¡¯t break Chen Mobai¡¯s defense.


    Next was the Wind Binding Talisman.


    Chen Mobai felt as if his limbs were weighed down by hundreds of pounds, and a charm slipped from his sleeve into his palm, triggered by the injection of Spiritual Power.


    At the same time, Jia Mo was already preparing his trump card, a Rank-1 superior grade Shocking Divine Talisman.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in his Water Elemental Shield, it was better to avoid a head-on collision if he could help it.


    Thus, he also activated a Wind Blade Talisman.


    The whirlpools that were supposed to bind him became fuel at the instant the talisman was triggered, instantly swept away by the Wind Blade.


    Before Jia Mo¡¯s incredulous gaze, twelve Wind Blades, more extreme than the ones he had unleashed, tore through the air towards him.


    He slapped his last two Defensive Talismans, a golden light, and a wind wall appeared in front of him, blocking the twelve Wind Blades manipulated by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense.


    ¡°The Shocking Divine Talisman is ready.¡±


    Just as Jia Mo blocked the Wind Blade Talisman and prepared to unleash his own trump card, he suddenly felt his hands and feet bound.


    A simple Coiling Talisman, but he couldn¡¯t trigger his talisman anymore.


    Chen Mobai came to his front and knocked him out with a single karate chop.


    ¡°The winner is Chen Mobai.¡±


    Another neat and clean victory.


    Unlike Shi Yuanqing and others who had to exhaust all their spiritual power, Chen Mobai¡¯s fights were always unexpectedly efficient, countering opponents¡¯ attacks with the most suitable tactics, precise as a scalpel.


    After the end of the fifth round of Magic Duels, this month-long competition was finally nearing its conclusion.


    Only nine people remained.


    Besides Gong Xiangyu, Kong Feichen, Yang Jing, and Yan Feng, the four Qi Cultivators at the ninth level, there were Xue Luan, Hong Gang, Shi Yuanqing, Ji Jing, the four Qi Cultivators at the eighth level.


    And finally, there was Chen Mobai, the rather noticeable Qi Cultivator at the seventh level.


    Next, they had to draw lots again.


    Also, as the number of participants was nine, some changes were made to the rules of the tournament.


    The Red-robed Daoist and the representative of the Daoist Academy will appear in this final lottery ceremony, or rather, only the students who can make it this far can earn their personal attention.


    Dusk.


    Jia Mo, who had just lost during the day, opened the door to his Cave Dwelling while Kong Feichen and Yang Jing came in.


    ¡°What was it like to face him head-on?¡±


    Kong Feichen asked first. After pondering for a while, Jia Mo shook his head.


    ¡ö¡öAlthough I lost quickly and felt I didn¡¯t fully display my abilities, after giving it careful thought, I suspect that even if we fought ten more rounds, I probably wouldn¡¯t be his match.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is he really that powerful? Even the Wind Binding Talisman and Wind Blade Talisman that I refined, along with her Shocking Divine Talisman, didn¡¯t manage to push him to reveal his true strength.¡±

    Kong Feichen originally thought only Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu were the strongest opponents in this magic duel. He never expected Chen Mobai to appear out of nowhere.


    The Shocking Divine Talisman didn¡¯t trigger, so he probably still has a weakness regarding his Divine Sense. You can tailor your strategy according to


    Jia Mo returned the unused Shocking Divine Talisman to Yang Jing and gave his assessment.


    ¡°I see, thanks.¡±


    After getting the answer he needed, Kong Feichen excused himself with Yang Jing and left..

 Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Ambitious Goals l

    Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Ambitious Goals l


    Translator: 549690339


    On the day of the draw, Chen Mobai and the other eight arrived at the final peak arena early.


    After waiting a while, a red cloud appeared on the horizon, like a second sun had risen.


    An overwhelmingly powerful presence that Chen Mobai had never felt before swept over the area like a tide. A dozen figures appeared in the sky, among them was a middle-aged man with red hair in a crimson robe. He laughed uproariously, leading a group of people descending from the sky.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    After landing and taking a seat, the man in the crimson robe swung his sleeve and motioned for the presiding teacher to begin


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had seen a Gold Core True Person in flesh. His Realm was low, so he couldn¡¯t tell how powerful the principal of Cinnabarite Institute was. However, the several people beside him, each with their unique demeanor and symbols of the Daoist Academy on their clothing, attracted everyone¡¯s attention as soon as they appeared.


    Chen Mobai recognized two of them.


    Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Bian Yiqing from Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The ordinary-looking woman should be Shang Qing from Jumang Dao Academy, whom Qing Nu had mentioned to him.


    So the last one, the man in the white suit, must be the representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Following these four were the representatives of the top ten academies. Despite their low profile, they also attracted a lot of attention from the students.


    As those who were eliminated were now left without hope of entering the four great Daoist institutes, they had to start considering how to attract the attention of these ten representatives.


    At this point, the teacher responsible for the draw brought out a square box and walked up to the nine of them.


    ¡°There are nine balls in this box, each one of you has your name on one of them. The principal will draw the nine balls one by one, and the order will represent the numbers one to nine. Among them, the last one, which is number nine, will be the luckiest as they will get a bye into the next round while the rest will fight in pairs.¡±


    After the explanation, the teacher placed the box on a table in the middle of the arena.


    Chen Mobai and the others never expected that they themselves wouldn¡¯t be the ones to draw. However, no one complained about the unfairness since luck is, after all, the greatest fortune on the way of cultivation.


    ¡°I assume you have no objections to me drawing the lots.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe walked up to the box, laughing as he asked the nine people assembled before him.


    Who dared to object? All shook their heads.


    The Gold Core True Person¡¯s credibility was such that he commanded the trust of everyone¡ªmore than all the cultivators in Red Sandstone City combined.


    ¡°Then let me get started.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe had a relaxed demeanor. He inserted his right hand into the box and drew out the first black sphere. He crushed the sphere, revealing a card with a name written on it.


    ¡°Ji Jing!¡±


    She was up first.


    Chen Mobai and the others cast their gaze at the calm and upright woman standing on the stage.


    She was a genius who had suddenly risen in this Magic Duel. It was said that she had originally been at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, but she had burst out with the peak strength of the eighth level during the duel, defeating many opponents along the way, with much impressive strength.


    Chen Mobai had a deep impression of her, because like him, she cultivated the Five Elements method.


    ¡°Second, Yang Jing.¡±


    ¡°Third, Xue Luan.¡±


    ¡°Fourth, Gong Xiangyu.¡±


    Soon, the man in the crimson robe drew out the names of the first four people. The refereeing teacher used the Object Capturing Technique to make a huge board float mid-air. Then, with a flick of the brush, he wrote down the names on the left-hand side of the board.


    ¡°Next, we will draw the opponents for these four.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe grinned, without hesitation, he reached into the box and drew the fifth black ball, crushing it at once.


    A name was revealed for everyone to see.


    ¡°Kong Feichen.¡±


    The referee immediately wrote this name to the right of Ji Jing on the board, marking the first pair of competitors.


    Chen Mobai observed Ji Jing¡¯s expression. She remained calm, no emotional turbulence visible even when faced with such a powerful and renowned opponent.


    ¡°Hong Gang.¡±


    ¡°Shi Yuanqing.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe drew another two names in a breath. Amid the fleeting gazes of the crowd, two more pairs of competitors appeared on the giant board.


    Only two remained.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Feng.


    Among them, the eighth one drawn would face Gong Xiangyu.


    And the lucky last one would advance directly, with the advantage of observing the duel between the powerful opponents, and their exposed hands after the fight.


    Finally, the hand of the man in the crimson robe paused, looking at Chen Mobai and Yan Feng with a playful gaze.


    However, in the end, he still laughed and drew the eighth ball.


    ¡°Chen Mobai!¡±


    Swoosh!


    It was unknown when, probably when he heard his own name, Chen Mobai felt that his heartbeat had reached an unprecedented high. Even though he believed he should remain calm and confident regardless of the opponent, at that moment, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of emotions.


    In the end, he was still caught in Gold Core True Person¡¯s control.


    However, all of it returned to calm when his name appeared on the dueling board.


    Ji Jing vs Kong Feichen.


    Yang Jing vs Hong Gang.


    Xue Luan vs Shi Yuanqing.


    Gong Xiangyu vs Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    A voice of regret sounded in his ear. Chen Mobai turned to see Yan Feng, who seemed to be sighing at the fact that he couldn¡¯t encounter a strong opponent in this round.


    ¡°Alright, all four fights must be completed today. We seniors have been waiting for this round, so don¡¯t let us down.¡±


    As he spoke, the man in the crimson robe pulled out the last sphere. Upon crushing it, Yan Feng¡¯s name was inside, indicating no trickery.


    However, given the public trust in the Gold Core True Person, even if he hadn¡¯t made such a gesture, everyone would have believed him. Because for a figure like him, if he really wanted to benefit Yan Feng, there were far better ways to do it.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step down and prepare to observe the following exciting duels, the man in the crimson robe stopped him.


    ¡°The order of the fights is exactly the opposite to the lot drawing. You are up first.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu was also taken aback for a moment, but soon his face lit up with excitement, and with a chilly laugh, he walked to the center of the arena.


    ¡°Before we begin, I have a question for both of you.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe had not yet stepped down; Chen Mobai also came over, and together with Gong Xiangyu, turned to face this powerful figure and paid their respects.


    ¡°Please ask, Sir.¡±


    ¡°If you win the Magic Duel and can choose to go to one of the four Daoist Institutes, which one would you choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated at this question; he didn¡¯t have much hope of joining one of the four Daoist Institutes considering his grades and scores.

    ¡°Kunpeng Daoist Institute!¡±


    On the other hand, Gong Xiangyu, hearing the question, didn¡¯t hesitate at all and called out the name of the most reputable among the four Daoist Institutes.


    ¡°Oh, can I ask for your reason?¡±


    Gong Xiangyu nodded, then with a resolute gaze, he looked at Lan Haitian and declared his grand ambition.


    ¡°Riding the Righteousness of Heaven and Earth, Commanding the Variations of the Six Qi, Wandering in Infinity, Carefree and at Ease. My lifelong dream is to cultivate the ¡®Six Qi Sutra¡¯ and Ascend to become an Immortal..¡±

 Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Broken Taoist Heart_l

    Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Broken Taoist Heart_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Upon hearing Gong Xiangyu¡¯s words, the man in the red robe showed a slight change in his expression and seemed to nod approvingly.


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    He turned his head to ask Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, judging from your tone, it seems like a reluctant choice. Why? Don¡¯t the four major Daoist Academies appeal to you?¡±


    The man in the red robe was a bit puzzled. He was quite interested in Chen Mobai, the only Qi Cultivation seventh level participant in this round.


    ¡°I have a friend who wants to study at the Jumang Daoist Academy. I¡¯m a bit worried about her going there alone.¡±


    After some hesitation, Chen Mobai finally chose a rather plain and simple reason.


    His statement caused a commotion among the hundreds of students below the stage.


    Gong Xiangyu, who initially appeared confident declaring his grand ambitions in front of the Gold Core true person, suddenly felt utterly defeated.


    Everyone knew that a Heavenly Spiritual Root was sent directly to the Jumang Daoist Academy in Red Sandstone City this year.


    ¡°Old Chen is so romantic.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, who came specially to cheer on Chen Mobai, finally understood why Chen Mobai could win the favor of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. This kind of comprehension and realm, he could never obtain in his lifetime.


    Being able to declare his love for his girlfriend on such a grand stage, amidst questioning by the Gold Core true person, Chen Mobai was truly unprecedented since the inception of the Immortal Gate.


    But what they didn¡¯t know was that Chen Mobai had no such intention.


    He simply could not come up with a solid reason.


    To say it was for his parents¡¯ expectations or the hopes of his family members would be too bland, and compared to Gong Xiangyu¡¯s vigorous ambition to ascend to become an Immortal, that just seemed unconvincing.


    Chen Mobai thought of many reasons, yet none of them seemed able to outweigh Gong Xiangyu¡¯s grand ambition to ¡°Ascend to become Immortals¡±.


    Since he was doomed to be outperformed by Gong Xiangyu anyway, he just listened to his heart and chose the reason he had once promised to Qing Nu.


    However, he had no idea that this reason nearly shattered Gong Xiangyu¡¯s determination.


    Too heart-wrenching!


    This guy has a dangerously cunning mind, the magic duel hasn¡¯t even started yet, and he¡¯s already launching a psychological attack on me through his words.


    Gong Xiangyu reminded himself to stay calm. He slowly rotated the technique of cultivating his senses to recover the emotional upheaval he was undergoing.


    ¡°Uh, young man, do you know that each of Four Major Daoist Academies will accept only one person from each blessed land. If you want to go to the Jumang Daoist Academy, your friend might not be able to go there.¡±


    At this moment, the man in the red robe suddenly said this. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    He actually didn¡¯t know about this rule for admission into the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    On the outer edge of the arena, Shang Qing moved her lips slightly, intending to say that even if there was a conflict between the two, Jumang Daoist Academy would certainly choose Qing Nu over Chen Mobai. However, with the man in the red robe present, she decided to remain silent after some thought.


    ¡°Then it must be the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    If he couldn¡¯t go to the Jumang Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then chose another one.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Why do you have so many whys?


    If it weren¡¯t for the Gold Core True person standing before him, Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t want to answer.


    ¡°More than half of the hall masters in the three great halls of the Immortal Gate come from the Repairing Heaven Institute. I hope to rule the Immortal Gate in the future and have millions of cultivators follow my will. Going to the Repairing Heaven Institute would make this path the simplest.¡±


    Compared to Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ambition of ¡°Ascend to become Immortals¡±, Chen Mobai felt that his aspiration to be the ¡°Master of the Immortal Gate¡± was somewhat mundane.


    ¡°So it turns out, in his heart, the position of Qing Nu is higher than that of the Master of the Immortal Gate!¡±


    Down on the stage, Lu Hongsheng once again felt lower in his realm.


    Just look at Chen Mobai, who interpreted the words for any girl, knowing that her position in a man¡¯s heart is even higher than that of the Master of the Immortal Gate, she would probably pass out in excitement.


    Gong Xiangyu felt the determination he had painstakingly restored once again shatter. He felt that he could never win Qing Nu from Chen Mobai in this lifetime.


    This man¡¯s plot to break his heart was too insidious.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, what an interesting young man.¡±


    The man in the red robe finally stopped asking. He laughed heartily and flew up, leaving the stage to Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°This person¡¯s score is too low, it won¡¯t benefit our academy to accept him.¡±


    The representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute in the white suit, after the man in the red robe returned, softly leaned in and whispered.


    ¡°I know, I won¡¯t interfere.¡±


    The words of the man in the red robe relieved the representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute. He was afraid that this Gold Core True person would cherish talent and want to keep Chen Mobai in the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The Gold Core True People of the Immortal Gate had a very special privilege, which was to unconditionally admit a student to one of the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    This privilege could only be used once in a lifetime.


    As the man in the red robe was still young and had no offspring, he had not yet used this privilege.


    Lan Haitian and Shang Qing also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words.


    If the man in the red robe insisted on protecting Chen Mobai, even the Heavenly Spiritual Root would not be able to secure a place in the Daoist Academy.


    Among them, the Kunpeng Daoist Academy, due to its reputation, has always been the first choice for these Gold Core True People. Shang Qing was afraid of losing a Heavenly Spiritual Root in her hands due to such dramatic events and eventually being snatched away by the other three major Daoist Academies.


    After the man in the red robe stated his position, the three of them all relaxed, and began to watch the magic duel with ease.


    The representatives from the Top Ten Academies, on the other hand, began whispering among themselves, speculating and considering which conditions to offer to snatch Chen Mobai after he gets eliminated.


    ¡°It begins.¡±


    Boom!


    Gong Xiangyu clenched his right fist, the air swirling around him. A faint phantom, bristling with scales, resembling a snake¡¯s body and a dragon¡¯s tail, moved with him and collided heavily with Chen Mobai.


    Bang!


    Chen Mobai launched his Wooden Shield charm, but the green shield had just emerged when it was shattered into splinters by the terrifying punch.


    Amidst the dust, threads of snake-like phantoms emerged. With a terrifying force capable of tearing and shredding everything, they made their way into Chen Mobai¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Spiritual Control Technique!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Lan Haitian exuded a burning gaze.


    The Kunpeng Daoist Academy, with its reputation as the best Daoist academy, owes this not only to the Six Royal Sutra but also to the fact that after their founder¡¯s death, he left behind a Transformation God level Giant Kun Spirit Pet to guard the academy.


    The Kunpeng Daoist Academy is also the top beast taming heritage of the Immortal Gate.


    Gong Xiangyu truly has a firm will to seek the Dao, as he has chosen to practice the most difficult, yet potentially the most rewarding Spiritual Control Technique related to beast taming.

    ¡°This spirit that is compatible with his divine sense should be at the Rank-2 level. If he can achieve Core Formation in the future, he might be able to transform into a dragon.¡±


    The man in the red robe commented, and Lan Haitian nodded slightly. He had some expectations for Chen Mobai, but after witnessing Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spiritual Control Technique, he knew that this game was probably over.


    Swoosh!


    At this moment, strange sounds of water ripples echoed.


    Amid the dust, the figure of Chen Mobai emerged. A whirlpool, like a soft water shield, had somehow appeared around his neck, constantly rotating and dissipating, completely neutralizing the terrifying punch of Gong Xiangyu, which was many times stronger than a human¡¯s power..

 Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Tactics_l

    Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Tactics_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°That was terrifying. I nearly had my neck bitten off.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up, touching his neck area. His initially calm eyes started to sharpener.


    Having fought through numerous games of Magic Duel like a child¡¯s play, he found it difficult to adjust again when facing a sudden life and death fight.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t kill you. The Snake Fangs will release toxins in your neck at the moment they pierce you, numbing you.¡±


    Although Gong Xiangyu disdained Chen Mobai, he maintained his sanity.


    A Magic Duel is just a Duel. If he genuinely killed his opponent by accident, his brilliant life would be tainted by an ignominious stain.


    ¡°Oh, in that case, I should thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai moved his neck a bit. His right hand reached out, a Spirit Talisman was already in his fingertips.


    Water Sword Talisman!


    Having watched all of Chen Mobai¡¯s previous five rounds of Magic Duels, Gong Xiangyu became intimately familiar with all the talismans Chen Mobai had used. He even devised a way to break each talisman.


    Upon seeing the talisman Chen Mobai held, he recognized it and adopted the tactic he remembered.


    Hiss hiss hiss!


    A strange sound resembling a spirit snake hissing rang across the dueling stage. The airflow around started to distort convolutedly, gradually forming a semi-transparent giant snake shadow surrounding Chen Mobai with Gong Xiangyu at the center.


    Humm!


    Just as the semi-transparent giant snake opened its transparent mouth to strike Chen Mobai, a rain of green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared in the void.


    Amidst the continuous thud sounds.


    Six arrow-shaped Spiritual Energies, like spears falling from the sky, accurately struck the semi-transparent giant snake¡¯s mouth, head, neck, heart, abdomen, tail that was charging at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This guy, what a trickster.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu glanced at the Water Sword Talisman held between Chen Mobai¡¯s right fingers. He immediately realized that talisman wasn¡¯t activated.


    His focus was drawn by the action, leading him to make a hasty and wrong decision.


    ¡°Now comes this talisman.¡±


    After activating the Green Arrow Talisman in his left hand behind his back, Chen Mobai channeled Spiritual Power to the Water Sword Talisman in his right hand. A reel of clear water was condensed to form a sword. With a swing of his fingers, he sent the snake¡¯s head, held back by the green Spiritual Energy Long Arrows, flying with one strike.


    The power of the Water Sword Talisman has yet to dissipate. Chen Mobai opened his mouth, activated Cold Ice Technique, froze and strengthened the transparent water sword in his palm, and then flicked his fingers.


    In the cracking sound-


    Gong Xiangyu exploded with the powerful spiritual energy of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. He forcibly withdrew his Spiritual Control and broke free from the Green Arrow Talisman¡¯s Spirit Qi Long Arrows.


    At that moment, the lost Cold Ice Water Sword shot straight at Gong Xiangyu¡¯s forehead between his eyes, emanating a bright Bai Guang, like a divine sword from the heavens.


    ¡°This guy, is he trying to kill me!¡±


    Gong Xiangyu was furious, regretting his earlier decision to hold back.


    Applying two Godspeed Talismans on his legs, his entire body, accompanied by afterimages, quickly retreated three meters back.


    With a ¡°thunk¡± sound!


    After losing the target, the Cold Ice Water Sword went straight through the dueling stage, leaving only the hilt on the stone¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Is the Water Sword Talisman this sharp?¡±


    Below the stage, many students were taken aback watching this scene.


    The Water Sword Talisman is known for its ability to control its dissipation and concentrate like a soft whip.


    While it could leave a mark on stones using this talisman, cutting through like tofu was entirely another level of power, just like what Chen Mobai did.


    ¡°The combination of spells and talismans, this young man may have a weaker cultivation level, but when it comes to duel awareness, he¡¯s likely the top of his class.¡±


    The man in the red robe sitting in the commentary stand quietly nodded as he watched this.


    ¡°It looks like this battle won¡¯t be one-sided.¡±


    The representatives from the Daoist Academy who were originally just idly watching, were now fully engaged.


    There were even Daoist Academy representatives evaluating Chen Mobai¡¯s battle consciousness, his mastery of spells, pondering how they could recruit him if his scores weren¡¯t enough.


    The representatives of the last several academies in the top ten rankings even stood up, directly coming to the edge of the platform.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai found himself in a tough fight.


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Godspeed Talisman was of exceptional quality, and it seemed he had also used another powerful talisman. His right hand was suddenly covered in a layer of fine scales, and his eyes had transformed into vertical pupils.


    Boom!


    A spray of water erupted from Chen Mobai¡¯s right abdomen, a reaction produced from his Water Elemental Shield clashing with Gong Xiangyu¡¯s incoming right fist.


    Boom!


    This time, it was his left cheek that got hit.


    Boom!


    Next, it was the area around his spine.


    If it wasn¡¯t for his well-trained Water Elemental Shield that could move according to his will, and his proficient Water Controlling Technique, he may not have been able to withstand Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ferocious punches.


    ¡°About time, let¡¯s test his speed limit.¡±


    After being hit almost ten times, Chen Mobai had a clear understanding of Gong Xiangyu¡¯s rhythm.


    Between his thoughts, the Dark Water in the Water Storage Talisman poured out, turning into a water net under his Divine Sense control, covering every possible direction Gong Xiangyu could attack from.


    But Gong Xiangyu¡¯s battle consciousness was nothing like his previous opponents.


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s rapidly advancing figure paused momentarily, then quickly darted left and right, pulling with it the circulating Dark Water, each testing the other¡¯s speed.


    However, compared to Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Controlling Technique that moved at his thoughts, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Godspeed Talisman, which required physical movement, had a limit.


    ¡°Got you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flickered with Spiritual Light, his Divine Sense working at its best, using the Dark Water net controlled by his Water Controlling Technique to trap Gong Xiangyu on the platform, tightening around him.


    ¡°Is it about to end?¡±


    This thought flashed through the minds of the students watching below. They hadn¡¯t expected that it would be Gong Xiangyu who was first pushed into a corner.


    Boom!


    Just when Gong Xiangyu was about to be trapped by the water net, his speed, already thrice that of an ordinary man, increased even further, darting out from the opening as the net closed in.


    ¡°Perfect, my Spirit Transformation Talisman is ready. It¡¯s time to show everyone my Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    After Gong Xiangyu broke through the Dark Water Net with a burst of speed, one could see dark scales appearing all over his body, starting from his right hand.


    ¡°You¡¯ve fallen into my trap.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s voice sounded in Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ears, the latter frowned, not understanding what the former was babbling about. Suddenly, it seemed like he had stepped on a talisman.


    Crack!


    Columns of wood sprouted from the platform where Gong Xiangyu had stepped, instantly turning into a sturdy wooden cage that only a bug could fly out of.


    ¡°Wood Prison Talisman, a simple talisman. I put it near the spot where the Dark Water Net had a flaw, waiting for you to step on it.¡±


    Chen Mobai still stood at his original position. He made no move, but waved his right hand, a chunk of Dark Water formed into a giant fist following his Divine Sense. It then punched the wooden cage that trapped Gong Xiangyu out of the platform¡¯s range..

 Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Victory_l

    Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Victory_l


    Translator: 549690339


    One of the rules of the Magic Duel stipulated that anyone who was knocked out of the ring and touched the ground would be considered defeated.


    Chen Mobai knew that the Wood Prison Talisman would not be able to hold Gong Xiangyu for long, so he immediately knocked his entrapped opponent out of the ring.


    ¡°Damn it, how can I lose in this round?¡±


    While shouting in rage, Gong Xiangyu, who had been hit by the water fist in mid-air, took out another talisman. Suddenly, a burst of black blade light erupted. However, the mere Rank-1, lower-grade ordinary Wood Prison Talisman only lasted for two seconds before it was sliced open and shattered.


    ¡°The Spirit Transformation Talisman is complete, and I can soon display power that surpasses the Qi Cultivating Realm¡­¡±


    At that moment, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s right hand was completely covered with scales. Along with his roar, the arm suddenly stretched out like a long snake, grabbing onto the edge of the ring. Then a burst of extraordinary strength erupted, forcibly steadying his out-of-control body in the air.


    ¡°Get back in there!¡±


    Amidst his booming shout, Gong Xiangyu, pulled by his right hand, forcibly dragged his body suspended in mid-air back towards the ring.


    This sight made many people¡¯s hairs stand on end.


    Although there were countless spells on the Path of Cultivation, this scenario of an arm converting into something resembling a snake was something that the less seasoned Qi Cultivation students found rather unsettling.


    However, on the spectator¡¯s stand, the representative of the Daoist Academy watched with great interest.


    ¡°After completing the transformation, he can now fully leverage the power of the Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    ¡°If this continues, despite the excellent fighting awareness and magical construction of the youngster, he might not stand a chance to beat him.¡±


    ¡°We share the same thoughts, but Chen Mobai has given me too many surprises. Maybe he has a trump card that can beat the Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    The words of Lan Haitian slightly surprised the three people present.


    Judging from his tone, it seems he knew him.


    ¡°No, it seems there won¡¯t be a second round.¡±


    Just then, Bian Yiqing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Although his Cultivation Level was merely at the Foundation Establishment, he was a grandmaster in the path of sound. He had the ability to perceive details that others did not notice by the melody of the atmosphere, predicting future omens.


    Lan Haitian, the other two, as well as the representatives of the Daoist Academy seated behind them, all looked forward to the ring, especially Chen Mobai¡¯s actions.


    Finally, Lan Haitian, the one with the highest cultivation and the most battle experience, noticed something.


    He saw Chen Mobai¡¯s fingers trembling slightly, and the left hand seemed to be holding something while being gently lifted.


    At the same time, the Cold Ice Water Sword, which was originally inserted at the center of the ring, flew straight up and fell towards Gong Xiangyu like a Flying Sword under the control of the Water Controlling Technique.


    Whoosh!


    A brilliant Bai Guang streaked across the ring, drawing a perfect arc in everyone¡¯s eyes. Bringing with it a faint cold stream, it severed the base of Gong Xiangyu¡¯s snake hand, which was gripping the edge of the ring, at a lightning speed.


    With a ¡°ding¡± sound, sparks flew everywhere!


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s scales, which had emerged from his body after transforming, were surprisingly hard. While the Cold Ice Water Sword was indeed bolstered by the Spell, it was not a true Flying Sword. Although it did shatter two scale armors, it could not sever his snake hand completely.


    Hiss Hiss Hiss¡­


    The eerie hissing noises came from between Gong Xiangyu¡¯s teeth. With his cold slit eyes wide open, and half of his body already back on the ring, his foot was about to step on the platform. Suddenly, an incredibly hot stream of air abruptly emerged.


    Then, a crimson flame rose around Chen Mobai, like a giant sword overflowing with flames, it heavily descended onto Gong Xiangyu¡¯s head.


    The latter immediately triggered his last defensive talisman, not hoping to block this top-quality, rank-1 talisman that was Chen Mobai¡¯s trump card, but hoped to delay it for a moment in order to get himself free.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke softly. His right hand held the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, his left hand moved again, controlling the Cold Ice Water Sword.


    To everyone¡¯s astonishment, he used the water sword to cut off a large chunk of the arena that Gong Xiangyu¡¯s snake-like arm was holding onto.


    Simultaneously, the power of the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman erupted completely.


    Gong Xiangyu felt an unexpected lightness in his body. He then lost control, carried by the red fire sword, heavily crashed outside the arena, more than ten meters away.


    Boom!


    Starting from Chen Mobai, the perfectly square stone-built arena was cut with a huge trench by the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, extending twenty to thirty meters outward. The farther out it went, the bigger the trench¡¯s diameter, as if spreading outwards and reaching its maximum at the edge of the arena.


    This was because Chen Mobai had caused the concentrated Crimson Flame Sword Talisman to explode at that point, turning it into a tremendous shockwave that sent Gong Xiangyu flying out of the arena.


    At the end of the trench was Gong Xiangyu, his body trembling after landing, his eyes wide, his face in disbelief.


    Every part of his body seemed like it had been smoked and charred, looking quite horrifying. Laymen would think he was severely injured, but cultivators such as Lan Haitian at the Foundation Establishment level could sense his vitality was unprecedentedly vigorous.


    This was the sign that the Spirit Transformation Talisman was fully effective, providing him with the ability to control a portion of the Rank-2 Spirit Control Power.


    However, all of this had become pointless.


    Because he had been thrown off the arena.


    And he had lost.


    It was a total defeat.


    Even though he could justify himself by blaming his carelessness and underestimating his opponent, Gong Xiangyu knew if he really did that, he would lose his last vestige of dignity and become a sore loser in the eyes of the representatives from the Daoist Academy, a weak-hearted clown.


    ¡°Who would have thought, I would lose to you!¡±


    In the magic duel, Gong Xiangyu did not assume he could win with 100% certainty, but he believed the ones who could potentially defeat him were Yan Feng and Kong Feichen. Not even Yang Jing would be a match for him.


    ¡°Referee.¡±


    But Chen Mobai did not respond to his words. Instead, he raised his hand and called out to the astounded teacher from Cinnabarite Institute who was sitting below the stage.


    ¡°Oh.¡± At Chen Mobai¡¯s beckoning, the referee teacher regained his senses. After lightly coughing, he announced the result.


    ¡°The winner is, Chen Mobai!¡±


    As these words were called out, Lu Hongsheng¡¯s suppressed cheer broke out. It was as if he had gone mad, shouting loudly.


    Not just him, those who had gambled a lot and placed their bets on Chen Mobai also had bloodshot eyes.

    Facing his fellow students from the Fifth High School rushing onto the arena towards him, Chen Mobai remained calm.


    To be honest, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spirit Control Technique and even his spiritual power had somewhat exceeded his expectations.


    When Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spirit Transformation Talisman took effect and unleashed a vast spiritual power far beyond the Qi Cultivating Realm, Chen Mobai even had the feeling that he was going to lose.


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai found a way to win.


    Or perhaps, sensing the aura of the demonic beast within Gong Xiangyu who was undergoing Transformation, aroused Chen Mobai¡¯s battle experience obtained from fighting to the death against demonic beasts on Green Light Island..

    Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Thunder Method_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Old Chen, you¡¯re awesome.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was the first to dash to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, trying to lift him by hugging his waist, but the latter didn¡¯t budge an inch. Not feeling awkward, the former naturally rested his hand on Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder, hopping in celebration with the classmates from the fifth high school.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Compared to the boys, the girls were more composed. Cao Yaling subtly expressed her congratulations. Class president Mo Simin was somewhat excited, with her pretty face blushing. But Shi Jingjing had turned pale, her eyes vacant.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai knew immediately. She probably bet on his loss this round and had lost everything.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t you happy that I¡¯ve advanced, Miss Shi?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided to tease her, but she burst into tears immediately upon hearing this.


    This unexpected reaction left everyone a bit at a loss.


    In the end, it was Cao Yaling, who had experience in such matters, who took her away from the stage to console her.


    ¡°It seems that she put all the profit from the previous rounds into this one.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing, who was Shi Jingjing¡¯s relative, quietly explained why she had reacted this way. Chen Mobai understood, but what could he say about it?


    After all, it was Shi Jingjing who didn¡¯t trust him.


    Meanwhile, the referee teacher magically transformed the ruined stage back to its original condition within five minutes, after it was damaged by Chen Mobai¡¯s Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    Following Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, it was now Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan¡¯s turn for a magic duel.


    The latter had already landed on the stage. With his square face and buzz cut, he looked thin but exuded a tough aura.


    ¡°Good luck in the next round.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted Shi Yuanqing¡¯s shoulder, encouraging him.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m sure to win this round.¡±


    Having overcome his self-repression, Shi Yuanqing was very different from before. He stepped onto the stage with high morale.


    ¡°Oh, you seem to be a bit different.¡±


    Xue Luan, seeing Shi Yuanqing in front of him, raised an eyebrow, but his gaze didn¡¯t change.


    ¡°And you seem to be just the same as before.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing¡¯s face was calm. With each breath, his cultivation technique revolved, causing the freshly repaired stage to slowly shake.


    ¡°Tsk, I never realized you could talk like this.¡±


    Xue Luan tilted his head, narrowing his gaze, and slightly bent his knees.


    At the same time, Shi Yuanqing mirrored the motion.


    ¡°Have both of them served in the army?¡±


    One of the representatives of the Academy was confused upon seeing their starting stances.


    ¡°They must¡¯ve been sent there for training for magic duels.¡±


    Lan Haitian comes from a military family. Although he only glanced at their stances, he made an accurate judgment.


    While these two had been trained well, especially Xue Luan, they still lacked a blood-thirsty, combative aura seen in veterans.


    Nevertheless, the standard boxing stances of Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan made Lan Haitian itch for action, something he hadn¡¯t felt in a while.


    ¡°Who do you think will win?¡±


    ¡°Xue Luan, I guess.¡±


    ¡°I agree with you.¡±


    Among the representatives of the Academy, eight thought Xue Luan would win, one believed Shi Yuanqing might deliver an upset, but Yan Qiongzhi of the Nature Studies Academy showed no interest and made no comment.


    Just as they turned to the representatives of the Four Daoist Academies to hear their opinions, the referee on the stage had already announced the start of the duel.


    Bang!


    Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan did not waste any time in fanciness and directly engaged in a face-to-face punch.


    The air emitted ripples that originated from the center of their fists.


    Then, Xue Luan¡¯s entire presence suddenly vanished.


    Shi Yuanqing raised his left hand as if he had anticipated this¡ªall at once, a kick seemed to be automatically delivered to his wrist.


    Thump thump thump!


    In an instant, the two had swapped places, moving so swiftly that students with poorer visual acuity could hardly discern their true location. All they could hear was the tumultuous upheaval of the air, and the subsequent clear footprints emerging one after another atop the rock that formed the fighting ring.


    However, in a blink of an eye, the entire rock shattered due to the stray force generated from their battle. Even the rock ring couldn¡¯t withstand such an impact.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A distinct sound echoed from before, Shi Yuanqing had shown an opening in his form, and his chestplate had been kicked open, fractures appearing all over.


    His body seemed to have been hit by a hefty force, as he took several steps back, creating various dents in the process, releasing a significant amount of force just to halt his backward momentum.


    Whoosh!


    Just like a shadow, Xue Luan appeared at Shi Yuanqing¡¯s left, delivering a sweeping kick to his left knee.


    Crack!


    Something seemed to have been torn apart. The swift Xue Luan halted abruptly and then retreated hastily.


    Yet at that moment, Shi Yuanqing advanced instead of stepping back. Both of his hands came together, transforming the sky full of mud into two whips and striking hard at Xue Luan¡¯s tangled arms.


    ¡°Whoo!¡±


    Shi Yuanqing exhaled, a faint red flame spewed out from his mouth and nose, landing on Xue Luan¡¯s uncontrollably shaking face.


    Though his hands were hit badly and his feet were in severe pain, Xue Luan, against all odds, spat something out of his mouth. A talisman attached to his tongue was activated.


    Whoosh!


    The sound of gushing water echoed. A water sword burst forth from Xue Luan¡¯s mouth, colliding with the flame from Shi Yuanqing¡¯s mouth. Amidst violent explosions, a cloud of water vapor was diffused, thoroughly obscuring the two of them.


    ¡°Hm, this move is not bad, I can copy it.¡±


    After watching Xue Luan hide the talisman in his mouth in advance and activate it with his tongue when his hands were incapacitated, Chen Mobai found it enlightening.


    Thump thump thump!


    At this moment, half of the fighting ring was shrouded by the water vapor. Still, the rapidly moving shadows of the two could be vaguely seen by the crowd. The continuous sounds of punches colliding and the unsettling noise of the disturbed airflow incessantly reminded all the spectators of the fierce battle within.


    ¡°Not good, Yuanqing seems to be suppressed.¡±


    Unbeknownst to when it happened, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling had returned. Their eyes twinkled¡ªthe Spirit Eye they used saw through the fog.


    ¡°Hm, you¡¯re alright now.¡±


    ¡°Shut up, you made me lose all my pocket money.¡±


    She would¡¯ve been fine hadn¡¯t he spoken¡ªShi Jingjing felt the urge to cry again the second he opened his mouth.


    ¡°So, this¡­¡±


    Boom!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to start preaching, a thunderous roar came from the fighting ring. The mist was then torn apart, revealing the upper body of Xue Luan, a lithe figure with no apparent muscular definition but, an amazingly well-proportioned and perfect physique.


    Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqing was sent flying out by his punch, along with the surrounding mist.


    Streaks of lightning flickered on Xue Luan¡¯s buzz cut brows; he stood in the middle of the ring like a thunder god.

    ¡°Thunder method!?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing.


    For it was known that the Thunder method was the undisputedly most powerful among all spells.


    All the spells that came with Blackwater Cultivation, only the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± was something he couldn¡¯t master at all, he couldn¡¯t even manage the basics.


    Could it be that Xue Luan had mastered the Thunder method!?

    Chapter 118: Chapter 118 ¨C On the verge of a breakthroughl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°It¡¯s just electricity, not yet thunder.¡±


    Cao Yaling adjusted her glasses, discerned the reality behind the scene, and informed Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Although Thunder method is difficult to practice, there are countless wonders and unique skills in the world of immortals. Xue Luan from the Five Thunder Sect may have practiced ¡®Ascent Thunder Jue¡¯, and maybe he has successfully transformed his Spiritual Root into the Thunder Spiritual Root.¡±


    Class president Mo Simin, knowing that Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t pay much attention to these things, pointed out the representative of the Five Thunder Sect in the spectators¡¯ gallery after Cao Yaling finished speaking. Indeed, the representative was already standing up, looking at Xue Luan with new respect.


    ¡°How is Yan Bingxuan doing?¡±


    Speaking of the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered his classmate who had helped him before and asked about her.


    ¡°She probably needs a good rest. Although Yan Feng didn¡¯t intend to hurt her seriously, her usage of Xuan Ice Change completely drained her Spiritual Power and somewhat damaged her foundation.¡±


    ¡°Is it serious?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she has used this opportunity to completely transform her foundation into Xuan Bing Jue, which can be considered as achieving her original goal of participating in the Magic Duel.¡±


    After hearing Mo Simin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    At this moment, Xue Luan, who had used the Purple Electrical Cultivation on the stage, suddenly doubled his speed and completely suppressed Shi Yuanqing.


    If it weren¡¯t for his Green Jade Talisman, which provided a strong defense, and his Porcelain Armor that covered his entire body without a blind spot, he would have been pierced through long ago.


    Even so, the layers of jade-like porcelain tiles on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body started to crack under the impact of Purple Electric Fist Strength.


    Traces of Electricity Penetrating Power seeped in, causing his skin to redden and bleed.


    In no time, half of Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body turned bloody red, his clothes tattered and he was about to be blasted off the stage by Xue Luan.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Xue Luan, full of afterimages on the stage, raised his right fist, a cluster of purple lightning gathered around it. Like a roaring thunder, it carried a tremendous force, and he heavily pounded it into the center of Shi Yuanqing¡¯s chest.


    Crack!


    The Green Jade Talisman that covered his entire body finally reached its limit. After a harsh sound, it broke completely, scattered into the sky and disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    But at the same time, Shi Yuanqing formed his fingers into a sword, gathering dust particles into a thin earthen sword, and stabbed it into Xue Luan¡¯s right shoulder at the moment his fist hit his chest.


    In the ensuing spray of blood, the two opponents each extended their other hand, disregarding their own injuries, and punched each other again.


    Splat!


    Shi Yuanqing couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and fell to the edge of the stage.


    On the other hand, Xue Luan was also in a bad state, he retreated to the center of the stage, his right hand hanging limply, having lost all sensation due to his shoulder blade being pierced.


    ¡°You really are different from before.¡±


    Despite his disabled hand, Xue Luan stood fiercely, lightning flickering between his brows. His momentum seemed to become stronger after being wounded, as if his battle-hardened nature had been aroused.


    ¡°If you were the same as before, with only these skills, then you would have lost to me in no time.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and despite the sunken wound on his chest, his blood-soaked skin emitted a jade-like glow.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xue Luan couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. Then, his eyes turned sharp, and the previously flickering electricity suddenly intensified into streaks of purple lightning.


    ¡°You make me want to kill you.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing gave a cold smile, reached out his both hands, and grabbed at the stage. The dust fragments crushed in their fight, under his Divine Sense control, covered his entire body.


    ¡°Useless. My Purple Electrical Cultivation broke your Green Jade Talisman. Your Rock Soil Armor won¡¯t be able to withstand two of my punches.¡±


    Even as Xue Luan was speaking, he had already rushed to Shi Yuanqing, his left hand powerfully aiming a punch right at the wound on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s chest.


    Whoosh!


    Shi Yuanqing opened his mouth and a jet of fire spewed out, covering his entire body.


    Xue Luan, not wanting another lose-lose tactic, immediately activated his Purple Electrical Cultivation and quickly pulled back.


    But at this moment, Shi Yuanqing charged towards him.


    Bang!


    The two once again sparred mid-air, Xue Luan continued to retreat. Having no other choice, he activated the Gold Armor Talisman that covered his entire body. Then, amid the intertwining of purple lightning and the golden light, he rammed head-on into the fiery Shi Yuanqing.


    A thud echoed!


    Shi Yuanqing was sent flying, but Xue Luan was also in pain. An unknown Ceramic Sword managed to stab him in the waist, causing another injury.


    As blood gushed, Xue Luan pulled out the Ceramic Sword from his waist and crushed it. He lifted his head, with his pupil showing unprecedented frenzy.


    ¡°Interesting, you are the first one in the same realm that could inflict such damage on me.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing somehow donned a layer of Porcelain Armor, but it definitely wasn¡¯t from an illegal usage of the Green Jade Talisman, otherwise he would have been knocked down by the crowd watching the duel by now.


    He struggled to stand up on the stage, spitting out the blood from his throat.


    ¡°You¡¯re wrong, we¡¯re not in the same realm.¡±


    Saying this, Shi Yuanqing reached into the void. Dust gathered onto his hands and the broken Porcelain Armor, subsequently covered by flames. Two shining snow white Ceramic Swords and a brand new Porcelain Armor were formed in the scorching flames.


    ¡°Great, he has made a breakthrough¡±.


    Shi Jingjing, who knew best about Shi Yuanqing¡¯s cultivation technique, looked at the stage where his cousin effortlessly formed the snow white Ceramic Sword and Porcelain Armor, her face filled with surprise and delight.


    At first, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand which aspect she was referring to when she mentioned a ¡°breakthrough¡±.


    But soon he detected that although Shi Yuanqing was weakened, his spiritual power fluctuation was even more vigorous than before, promptly understanding.


    So he made a breakthrough in battle and reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Could he be the highlight of this Magic Duel?


    ¡°Perfect, when I knock someone like you off the stage, then my invincibility in battles is significant!¡±


    However, seeing Shi Yuanqing breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, Xue Luan wasn¡¯t scared at all. Instead, he became even more fanatical and with his only usable arm left, raised his Purple Electrical Cultivation to a peak far beyond his physical limits.


    Rumble!


    The sky seemed to crack open with a thunderous boom. The clouds grew dark, and a cluster of menacing thunderclouds gradually gathered, emitting blinding light.


    ¡°If you attract that thunderbolt into your body, you might die.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Sect suddenly spoke, seriously advising Xue Luan.


    ¡°I would rather die than lose!¡±


    Xue Luan laughed loudly and raised his left arm.


    Woosh!


    At the same time, Shi Yuanqing also burst out all his spiritual power, swinging his two snow white Ceramic Swords and executed his most stunningly brilliant Sword Light.

    Rumble!


    A bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens, directly hitting Xue Luan on top of his head, incinerating his hair, but also igniting his stalled Qj mechanism.


    Without hesitating, he clenched his fist, with the lightning enclosed within, and met Shi Yuanqing¡¯s Sword Light head-on.


    In an enormous sonic boom, blinding light erupted.


    Even Cao Yaling and Shi Jingjing couldn¡¯t see clearly..

    Amidst the roaring blast.


    Two bloody figures fell simultaneously, Chen Mobai rushed towards Shi Yuanqing immediately, intending to catch him before he hit the ground.


    But while his reflexes were quick, someone else was quicker.


    A plain white figure overtook Chen Mobai, supported Shi Yuanqing, then gently laid him on the ground and skillfully sealed off several critical acupoints on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body.


    ¡°Friend Ning, the situation here is more urgent, he¡¯s barely breathing, come over quickly to save him.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Academy, who had just taken care of Shi Yuanqing on the stage, called out in a panic.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I¡¯m here, even if he has no breath left, I can bring him back from hell¡¯s door,¡± the voice assured.


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai had just arrived. The representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, dressed in a white robe, immediately grabbed his hand and placed it on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Use this pressure and don¡¯t stop, I¡¯ll head over there to save the other one,¡± the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, a young man with a face ¡¯ mask, instructed Chen Mobai before rushing towards the stage.


    Although Xue Luan had ejected Shi Yuanqing out of the platform, his condition was extremely desperate, not only were all his pores burnt, but the fingers of his left hand, clenched to form lightning, had melted to only show the stark white bones.


    Moreover, his breathing was extremely weak and the frantic power of heavenly thunder was rampaging, rupturing his meridians and even causing them to explode.


    Had it not been for the representative of the Five Thunder Academy who understood thunder spiritual power very well, used his power to protect Xue Luan¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea, and taken out a Thunder Bead to place on Xue Luan¡¯s chest, constantly absorbing the unchecked power of the heavenly thunder inside him, Xue Luan would have been long gone.


    When the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy arrived, he was even more professional.


    He pulled out a scalpel from his sleeve, made eighteen precise and graceful incisions on Xue Luan¡¯s body, and blood was splattered everywhere.


    Upon the first cut, the dark purple thunder force that was restrained by meridians and flesh rapidly rushed out from Xue Luan¡¯s body along the incision and was completely absorbed by the Thunder Bead handled by the representative of the Five Thunder Academy.


    ¡°Go back and recuperate for half a year; your life is spared, but full recovery might depend on your academy¡¯s Shenxiao orthodoxy.¡±


    ¡°He may not even be able to enter our academy.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Academy glanced at Xue Luan, whose breathing had returned to normal, and no longer showed the earlier sense of urgency. Instead, he put on an act in front of the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy.


    ¡°The school doctor of Cinnabarite Institute, come take this person away, I¡¯ll go handle the other one.¡±


    The representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, Ning Anning, had been rapidly gaining a reputation in the field of medicine over the past twenty years. After instructing the school doctor, he returned to where Chen Mobai was.


    ¡°Hmm, good first aid.¡±


    Ning Anning first looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s actions, complimenting him before asking him to stop. He then pulled out his scalpel again and deftly cut open the layer of Porcelain Armor on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body.


    The Porcelain Armor, which could resist the power of heavenly thunder, was as weak as tofu in front of this small scalpel.


    ¡°This kid is really reckless. On the verge of breaking three ribs, he still wanted to fight for victory.¡±


    Ning Anning opened the chest wound that Xue Luan had caused Shi Yuanqing, released the lightning spiritual power trapped within, sprinkled a bottle of healing powder on the wound, then swiped his hand over it, all the displaced and broken bones instantly corrected, and the dented flesh bounced back to its normal state.


    However, the wound needed time to heal, and bone recovery was the slowest. ¡°Take a calcium supplement and rest for three months, you¡¯ll soon be fine,¡± Ning Anning advised.


    ¡°Thank you, doctor.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Shi Jingjing both thanked Ning Anning at the same time Ning Anning merely waved his hand and called the school doctor of the Cinnabarite Institute to transport Shi Yuanqing away after using the Cleaning Technique on himself.


    ¡°I initially thought it would be a boring magic duel, but I have become quite interested in the next two rounds.¡±


    Having treated the injured, Ning Anning casually returned to his observation platform and laughed as he addressed the other representatives of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Both of them just now were promising candidates for our Primordial Elemental Academy.¡±


    A stunning-looking young lady glanced at Xue Luan and Shi Yuanqing, who were being carried away on a stretcher, and opened her mouth to say something that made the representative of Five Thunder Academy snort indignantly.


    ¡°The one who had an Earth and Fire Dual Spirit Root breakthrough during the battle aside, if this Xue Luan does not come to our Five Thunder Academy, the rest of his life will be ruined.¡±


    If he has a Fire Spirit Root, he could come to our Pure Yang Academy for advanced studies. Who knows? He might have a chance for Core Formation in the future.¡±


    A chubby man said something that earned everyone¡¯s rolled eyes. Core Formation was a possibility for everyone present, but those who finally managed to achieve Core Formation will most likely be one or two at most.


    The names of Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were highly regarded. They had been at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage for over a decade and were still waiting for the right opportunity, daring not to rashly take the leap forward.


    ¡°The third round has begun.¡±


    After the warm-up of the previous two rounds, the representatives of the Daoist Academy, who were not initially interested, immediately turned their attention to Yang Jing and Hong Gang who had just taken the stage.


    ¡°There seems to be a problem with this girl.¡±


    Upon closer inspection, Ning Anning suddenly noticed something.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you taken a liking to this Different Spiritual Root? Do you want to snatch her from Elder Sister Yan?¡±


    The representative of Five Thunder Academy asked curiously when he heard Ning Anning¡¯s words.


    ¡°No, I could be mistaken.¡±


    Ning Anning shook his head and didn¡¯t say anything else.


    The girl in a blue dress sitting at the far left of their row raised her eyes and gave Ning Anning a slightly surprised look.


    Yan Qiongzhi hadn¡¯t expected him to notice.


    The battle was somewhat disappointing for them.


    Although Hong Gang had cultivated the Vajra Body, he was completely overpowered by Yang Jing¡¯s weird Yin spiritual power and was quickly targeted for his weak divine sense. After only ten moves, his eyes went white, and he fainted on the stage.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit disappointing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Hong Gang had a grand reputation and was reputedly evenly matched with Xue Luan. Chen Mobai initially thought that even if Hong Gang wasn¡¯t Yang Jing¡¯s equal, he should at least be able to force some tricks out of her, but he didn¡¯t even have the chance to fight back.


    The last round was between Kong Feichen and Ji Jing.


    That was even more of a foregone conclusion. Although Ji Jing put in a lot of effort and even reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation eighth stage, with Shi Yuanqing¡¯s on-the-spot breakthrough as a precedent, Kong Feichen didn¡¯t give her any opportunity to breathe.


    The moment he stepped on stage, he bombarded her with a Rank-i Wind Thunder Talisman and wind spiritual power. Ji Jing struggled to hold on for several rounds, but after she used up all her talismans, Kong Feichen broke all her defenses and she had to surrender..

    Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Drawing the Spirit Pen 1


    Translator: 549690339                    ¡ª


    ¡°Anticlimactic.¡±


    After watching the latter two magic duels, the representatives of the Daoist Academy shook their heads, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces. In the first duel between Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, the weaker overcame the stronger, beating an opponent in a higher rank.


    In this battle, the tactical consciousness and battle experience Chen Mobai showcased, even the complete system of spells and talismans, would rank him top three among all Qi cultivators they have ever seen.


    Gong Xiangyu, who was Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, had mastered the Spiritual Control Technique in the Qi Cultivating Realm, which was quite remarkable.


    If Gong Xiangyu had won this duel, Lan Haitian would also have been willing to recruit him into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    The second duel was the most devastating in this round, whether it was the breakthrough on the battlefield or the invocation of lightning into the body, both were worth to be known as remarkable stories.


    There are still five people left, do we need to draw lots again?¡±


    Shang Qing asked the Chi Robed True Man in front of him, who shook his head. ¡°According to this draw, the first and second halves of the draw will match. Kong Feichen and Yang Jing are in the upper half, while Yan Feng, Xue Luan, and Chen Mobai are in the lower half.¡±


    ¡°If there are three people in the lower half, how do we duel?¡±


    Shang Qing was somewhat puzzled ¨C he had never seen such a pairing.


    Xue Luan can¡¯t fight anymore, he can only lie in bed to recover for the next half-year.¡±


    At this time, Ning Anning spoke up.


    Being the doctor who treated Xue Loan¡¯s injuries, he was confident about his prognosis.


    ¡°So, it turns out to be a perfect pair.¡±


    The Chi Robed True Man clapped his hands seemingly satisfied, indicating the referee from Cinnabarite Institute to bold the name of the winning player in the match table.


    Three days later, the semi-finals, you four can¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    After hearing the Chi Robed True Man¡¯s words, Chen Mobai looked at his opponent.


    Yan Feng.


    A youth with a stern face, he was surrounded by people from Jade Everlasting High School in the center, their eyes meeting, sparks flying.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    At this moment, the voice of Kong Feichen sounded beside Chen Mobai, who turned to look at him.


    ¡°As we agreed, see you in the final.¡±


    ¡°Yes, see you in the final.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded vigorously.


    Yan Feng sneered after hearing this, and amidst the indignant looks of his classmates, he turned and left.


    That guy has something up his sleeve, you need to be careful.¡±


    Kong Feichen pointed to Yan Feng¡¯s receding figure and suggested ambiguously.


    ¡°Yes, I feel like he might be stronger than you, perhaps the most formidable one in this duel.¡±


    Chen Mobai straightforwardly expressed his feelings, making Kong Feichen click his tongue.


    ¡°The most formidable one is right beside me?¡±


    Kong Feichen pointed to Yang Jing next to him, making a confusing remark


    that left Chen Mobai scratching his head.


    ¡°She can¡¯t reveal her true strength. In the semi-final, she will lose to me outright. But it¡¯s quite a pity, I originally planned for her to go against you so I wouldn¡¯t have to step in personally.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was even more puzzled.


    ¡°Do you have that much confidence that she could beat me?¡±


    ¡°She has cultivated a very strange technique that makes her invincible at the Qi Cultivating Realm. However, she suffers greatly from using that technique, and will be closely watched by the Daoist department, so we decided to let her lose to me in this duel.¡±


    What Kong Feichen said made Chen Mobai frown, as his description reminded him of something.


    Could she be cultivating a forbidden technique?¡±


    ¡°Huh! You are even aware of forbidden techniques!¡±


    Kong Feichen was astonished, seemingly surprised by Chen Mobai¡¯s accurate guess.


    ¡°I must remind you that Lan Haitian is here in Red Sandstone City this time to arrest someone practicing forbidden techniques. If you don¡¯t want her to be arrested as well, it¡¯s best not to reveal this matter any further.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai saw Kong Feichen as an opponent, he quite liked him and felt good about their first meeting, so he kindly offered this reminder.


    ¡°Your kindness is unnecessary, the forbidden technique Yang Jing practiced is approved by the Daoist department.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly squinted his eyes but chose not to say anything more.


    If she is invincible in Qi Cultivation, why don¡¯t you lose to her? That could protect her to the final match, making it possible for neither me nor Yan Feng to be her opponent.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want her to suffer. The Four Major Daoist Academies won¡¯t accept her+¡±


    Kong Feichen eyed Yang Jing beside him, who remained motionless, half of her face hidden beneath a wide-rimmed hat.


    ¡°So I should thank you for stopping such a powerful opponent at the semi-final?¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai made Kong Feichen shook his head lightly.


    ¡°Well, the outcome is still going to be your defeat. There¡¯s no need for thanks.¡±


    The two of them sparred with words once more, then turned and left together.


    On his way back to his rented cave dwelling, Chen Mobai encountered a few students from Jade Everlasting High School who were goading him, but before he could take action, the student council of the Cinnabarite Institute stepped in. They subdued this group of people and expelled them from the area.


    One of them Chen Mobai recognized, it was Chan Si.


    Next to her was the rich senior sister.


    ¡°The principle specifically ordered us to ensure you are in the best condition


    for the semi-finals three days later.¡±


    The student council president, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a gentle demeanor and a calm expression. After hearing his explanation, Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude and returned to his cave dwelling under his escort.


    ¡°The school has already upgraded the spiritual energy in your cave dwelling to a Rank-2 lower-grade for free.¡±


    The student council president saw Chen Mobai off, upgraded the spiritual energy in the cave with his card, and then left with his people. But Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu stayed behind, spending some time talking to him.


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Cinnabarite Institute renowned for its Talismans? Do either of you have any old spirit pens that have been discarded?¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled his need to prepare for talisman making after the duel.


    He could buy talisman paper and he had sorted out the machine for making talisman ink, but he was still unsure about the spirit pen for drawing talismans.


    The shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop said that his spirit pen was passed down from his ancestors and had been used since childhood.

    In the Daoist world, the best spirit pens naturally come from Wei Yu Cave Heaven, but Chen Mobai was just about to get started and didn¡¯t need such high-grade goods. When he thought about buying online, local online shops only had single digit orders, and the reviews were average, making him hesitant to try.


    ¡°I have a Rank-1 upper-grade green bamboo pen, you can have it if you want.¡±


    The one who spoke was Shen Juanxiu, her family ran a mining business that specializes in a type of spiritual sand produced in Red Sandstone City, which makes them extraordinarily wealthy.


    ¡°That won¡¯t do, it¡¯s too valuable.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately refused, this Rank-t upper-grade drawing spirit pen would at least cost a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in the market, but he was a man who wouldn¡¯t accept undeserved rewards..

    ¡°Alright, then,¡± Shen Juanxiu began with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you for a favor. If you agree, you can have this green bamboo pen as a thank you gift. What do you say?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. He wondered why such a wealthy senior would need his help.


    ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Do you know about the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered honestly. Shen Juanxiu then took out her cell phone, opened the app, and showed him its logo.


    ¡°This app was jointly created by the four Daoist academies and the top ten colleges. It¡¯s one of the best-reviewed apps in the entire cultivation world.¡± Shen Juanxiu explained what the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ was. After listening to her, Chen Mobai was stunned. He hadn¡¯t known that such an app existed in the cultivation world.


    Just by importing your personal data into the app, along with whatever spiritual objects you have for assisting in foundation establishment, the app can estimate your chances of successful foundation establishment based on your cultivation technique, realm, and the available external spiritual objects. The actual result of one¡¯s foundation establishment and the data analyzed by the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ had less than 1% discrepancy in the most recent thousand-year sample.


    However, using the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ requires borrowing the supercomputing power of the cultivation world, so not anyone could use it freely.


    To avoid wasting computational power, and to afford the chance to those who really needed it, ordinary users of the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ could only import one personal data profile.


    Since cultivators above the foundation establishment level do not need this app, most users are Qi Cultivating Realm students.


    In this, the students of the four Daoist academies get first priority to use the Foundation Establishment App, followed by those from the top ten colleges. From the remaining one hundred and twenty-forty schools, only a minimal few can be put in line by getting a recommendation from a distinguished figure like Crimson Robe. They could then apply to use the supercomputing power.


    ¡°So you mean to say that, if I enroll in the Daoist Academy, I can use my opportunity to import your personal data and see your chances of successful foundation establishment.¡±


    After listening to Shen Juanxiu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally figured out what she was getting at.


    ¡°Exactly. Students from the four Daoist academies can apply to use supercomputing power to estimate their chances of foundation establishment through the Foundation Establishment App every two years before they establish foundation. But it takes three years until students from the top colleges can make a request.¡±


    ¡°However, each new student can directly queue in the front line to use the Foundation Establishment App.¡±


    ¡°Considering your performance in the magic duel, you can select any of the top colleges. This is the favor I¡¯m asking for,¡±


    Shen Juanxiu finished and then anxiously looked at Chen Mobai.


    She had failed to establish foundation once. Even though her family was rich, she couldn¡¯t afford more than two more attempts.


    Among these, failing twice consecutively would drain too much life force and essence. Thus, even if the last attempt happened before turning 60, the odds of success would drastically decrease.


    Therefore, this second chance at foundation establishment was valuable and she couldn¡¯t afford to fail it.


    While she was seeking spiritual medicine to recover her lost essence after failing her first attempt at foundation establishment, she was also slowly accumulating ¡®Foundation Establishment Treasures¡¯. For the chance of an additional estimation with the Foundation Establishment App, she had asked many people for help.


    However, no one was willing to give up such an opportunity. After all, if they succeeded in foundation establishment on their own, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step.


    Moreover, asking Crimson Robe for a queue slot was out of the question. Despite having a wealthy family, Shen Juanxiu didn¡¯t have enough influence to seek the aid of a Gold Core cultivator.


    ¡°You¡¯re currently at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. It will take several years at minimum to reach the ninth level. If you give me the opportunity right after you get admitted to the academy, you can make a request again in three years when you¡¯re done with Qi Cultivation Perfection and ready to try foundation establishment.¡±


    ¡°If you agree, I won¡¯t only give you the green bamboo pen but also three jin of Rank-2 Ling Sha,¡±


    Shen Juanxiu had no need to beat around the bush and directly stated her offer.


    Upon hearing the proposal, Chen Mobai gladly accepted without the slightest hesitation.


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    His quick response left Shen Juanxiu, who had prepared for quite a lengthy persuasion, slightly startled.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give it more thought?¡±


    Shen Juanxiu ironically felt a bit embarrassed now.


    However, Chen Mobai had already considered it thoroughly. Since he had Turtle Treasure to act as a proxy, this precious opportunity to others was nothing more than switching accounts to him.


    In addition, this wealthy senior had bought his Spirit Ascension Powder, thereby providing him with seed money.


    Thanks to this fund, he had been able to buy sufficient medicinal herbs to let Qing Nu refine the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. This enabled his realm to advance in such a short time and allowed him to stand on the stage of the magic duel to compete for the chance to get into the Daoist Academy.


    From this perspective, she also had helped Chen Mobai.


    More importantly, what she had said made sense.


    Based on his current stage, even if he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it would take at least three to four years to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection and prepare for foundation establishment.


    If that was the case, this opportunity was better used to gather resources for himself.


    Moreover, Ling Sha of Rank-2 was a precious commodity that one couldn¡¯t come by even with enough good deed points.


    Besides ¡°Beryl Phoenix Tree¡±, Red Sandstone City was mostly famous for its ¡°Cinnabar Ling Sha¡±.


    This magic-enhancing substance was an excellent spiritual object used to prepare the ink for talisman making. Similar to having spiritual extract in medicine making, including it in the ink would significantly increase the success rate of concoction and improve its quality.


    On the market, this Cinnabar Ling Sha could only be purchased by registered talisman makers within the cultivation world.


    Rank-1 Cinnabar Ling Sha was relatively cheap, selling at 5000 good deed points per jin.


    Rank-2¡¯s price, however, skyrockets to 100,000 good deed points per jin, with a purchase limit applied.


    About Rank-3, it¡¯s a priceless treasure, not available on the market.


    Only every ten years, Shen Juanxiu¡¯s family¡¯s Ling Sha mine could refine a few ounces of Rank-3 Ling Sha. These spiritual objects could never be utilised just for the minor benefit of getting an estimation from the Foundation Establishment App.


    After all, sometimes, knowing the outcome could be more discouraging. The largest Ling Sha mine in Red Sandstone City belonged to the Cinnabarite Institute. Alongside Beryl Phoenix Tree, Cinnabar Ling Sha was renowned as one of the twin treasures of Danxia, and it was the main source of fame for the region in the cultivation world.


    ¡°Wait here, and I will bring you the Green Bamboo Pen right away. I only have one jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha on me now. I¡¯ll go home tonight to fetch the rest.¡±


    After getting Chen Mobai¡¯s approval, Shen Juanxiu was thrilled. She was ready to give him his rewards ahead of the fulfilment of his promise and reserve this opportunity for herself.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to trouble yourself, senior Shen. How about converting the remaining two jin based on the market price and giving me the equivalent good deed points instead?¡±


    Chen Mobai showed no modesty and accepted the offer right away.


    Considering he was short on good deed points recently,furthermore, a jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha would last him quite a while as a novice talisman maker.


    ¡°Alright, just wait here.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu, eager to solve the matter, immediately dragged Chan Si to her cave dwelling to retrieve the pen..

    Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Let Me Enter the Final_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Inside the Cave Dwelling.


    Chen Mobai played with the drawing Spirit Pen in his hand. It was made of a bamboo tube, the pen body was engraved with a very sophisticated map of the bamboo sea, the end of the pen was decorated with a red tassel, the pen tip was conical, and the pen head was a full and smooth cylinder, full-bodied and evenly bristled.


    As expected of a Rank-1 top-grade, the manufacturing process alone was extremely exquisite.


    After inserting his spiritual power and dabbing it with a little water, he tested the pen tip on the table, but it was a bit difficult to control.


    But this was understandable, after all, he had just got it and needed more practice.


    After fiddling with the Green Bamboo Pen for half an hour, Chen Mobai placed the pen in the pen box that came with the gift, then picked up another woven bag.


    The opening of the bag was casually tied with a red string, and inside the bag was the ¡°Cinnabarite Ling Sha¡± of Rank-2.


    Upon opening the bag, Chen Mobai took out five irregularly sized reddish minerals, which were dark red in color, opaque but sparkling, and had a touch of deep, yet stable spiritual charm within.


    A careful look revealed two large pieces and three small ones.


    When held in hand, if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that this was Cinnabarite Ling Sha, he would feel they were nothing more than stones that no one would pick up at the side of the road.


    After playing with two items thoroughly, Chen Mobai¡¯s excitement faded, so he put them away into his own backpack, then diligently drank a tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and began practicing Five Elements Cultivation.


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    Although Chen Mobai struggled against Gong Xiangyu, there was not much consumption of his Spiritual Power.


    By the day of the semi-finals, he had fully recovered to his peak state, and he felt that, after this period of Magic Duel, his Spiritual Power seemed to have improved somewhat.


    ¡°Old Chen, our whole class is here today.¡±


    Opening the door of his cave dwelling, Chen Mobai saw his desk-mate Lu Hongsheng. Next to him stood class leader Mo Simin and two beauties from the front desk, Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu.


    ¡°The others are waiting at the arena, we came to accompany you so that those despicable students from Yuheng High School won¡¯t waste your spiritual power on the way.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was indignantly referring to the harassment Chen Mobai received from the students of Yuheng High School.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the seniors from Cinnabarite Institute will escort me.¡±


    Chen Mobai appreciated their kindness, but at that moment the Escorting Student Council President also came. Chen Si and Shen Juanxiu were also among the group. Upon seeing their Formation teacher, Lu Hongsheng and the others started greeting them.


    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go together to cheer for Chen Mobai.¡±


    Though introverted by nature, at this time, Chen Mobai could only allow himself to be surrounded by a big group of people. He was escorted all the way from the cave dwelling entrance to the top of the peak to the combat arena.


    ¡°Oh, Yan Bingxuan is also here.¡±


    Upon reaching the top, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan sitting on a stone bench and was surprised.


    ¡°Not only her, but your girlfriend is also here.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng secretly pulled Chen Mobai aside, pointed in another direction, Qing Nu wearing a hat and a mask stood nearer to the front of the arena. When they looked over, she squinted and waved, smiling.


    ¡°How did you recognize her?¡±


    Honestly, if it were not pointed out by Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai might not have recognized Qing Nu among the crowd in this disguise.


    ¡°I came here early in the morning and saw Yan Bingxuan talking to her, so I recognized her immediately.¡±


    ¡°Those two?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Mobai felt curious.


    He had the impression that Yan Bingxuan and Qing Nu would have absolutely nothing to chat about.


    Just then, a cheer rose from the crowd, and Yan Feng with his cold demeanor surprisingly flew up from below. Facing the rising sun, it was as if the whole person was enveloped in a layer of morning glow, making him blindingly radiant.


    ¡°So handsome!¡±


    Many of the Look Party audience saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe.


    ¡°This is in the bag!¡±


    Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai knew that he should have this magic duel under his control.


    One in the Qi Cultivating Realm cannot fly by manipulating qi; the only possibility is by using a ¡°Flying Talisman.¡±


    However, even if this ¡°Flying Talisman¡±, a rank-1 superior talisman, consumes little spiritual power, it still uses spiritual power nonetheless.


    Yan Feng had used up a Flying Talisman to get here, which meant that he didn¡¯t start with his spiritual power at its fullest.


    Perhaps for others, this may seem like a trivial detail. But for Chen Mobai, a master tactician, it was enough to see the scale of victory tilt in his favor.


    Shortly after, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing also joined in.


    Unlike Yan Feng¡¯s flashy entrance, they honestly took the main route up, accompanied by a few students from the secondary school.


    Once all four of them were present, they looked around, each choosing a corner to stand in.


    While they¡¯re waiting for Crimson Robe and the representatives of Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai noticed Qing Nu making her way towards Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, a surprising sight that left him puzzled.


    Wanting to understand the situation, he observed that Qing Nu seemingly knew Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, greeting them with laughter and merriment.


    Feeling a bit lost, Chen Mobai decided to join them.


    ¡°Why did you come over as well?¡±


    Upon arriving, Chen Mobai greeted Qing Nu as if he had just noticed her, with evident joy.


    ¡°I came to cheer you guys on.¡±


    Qing Nu replied with a smile, leaving Chen Mobai, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing utterly confused.


    When did you become acquainted?


    At that moment, Crimson Robe and the representatives from the Daoist Academy flew over. Upon landing, he waved his hand broadly.


    ¡°No need to waste time. Let¡¯s start the first half of the matchup.¡±


    After Crimson Robe announced the order for the semi-finals, he sat down leisurely.


    Kong Feichen and Yang Jing exchanged glances, greeting Qing Nu in unison.


    ¡°Sister, we¡¯ll go up first.¡±


    At the referee¡¯s beckon, they stepped onto the specially strengthened and widened arena.


    ¡°The rules are the same as before.¡±


    Having said that, the referee leaped off the stage, leaving it to the two contenders.


    Kong Feichen was still mulling over how Qing Nu and Chen Mobai got to know each other, and what their relation was.


    Distracted, he started to activate a ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡±.


    According to the plan they came up with earlier, Yang Jing would throw in the towel.


    They knew they couldn¡¯t keep this from Crimson Robe and the representatives of the Daoist Academy, so they decided to be upfront about it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He would release a talisman to blow Yang Jing off the stage.


    The ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡± was activated, causing a whirlwind of blue air stream to blast in front of Yang Jing. This gust blew her black gown and pants, enhancing her tall and long legs¡¯ silhouette and curves. She had to hold onto her wide-brimmed hat to prevent it from being blown away.


    Just as Kong Feichen was ready to see her step down, Yang Jing suddenly raised her head, waving off the approaching ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡± with her hand.


    ¡°What if I compete in the final?¡±


    She suddenly said something that caused Kong Feichen¡¯s eyes to widen with surprise..

 Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Sky Sea Thirteen Swords 1

    Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Sky Sea Thirteen Swords 1


    Translator: 549690339       ¡ª


    ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    Kong Feichen found it hard to accept, his brows furrowed.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Yang Jing nodded slightly, without giving any explanation.


    ¡°You¡¯re not my match.¡±


    ¡°In our usual state you¡¯re right, but I¡¯m not so sure if I use the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    ¡°Is that necessary?¡±


    Yang Jing didn¡¯t respond to Kong Feichen¡¯s challenge, which angered Kong Feichen and made him clench his fist. Nevertheless, he managed to cool down in the end.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    After saying that, Kong Feichen raised his hand, admitting defeat straightaway.


    There was an uproar among the spectators.


    The teacher in charge of judging the Cinnabarite Institute match immediately got on the stage to check if there was any hidden reason behind Kong Feichen¡¯s resignation, but Kong Feichen simply stated he didn¡¯t want to continue the fight.


    Although he was aware that there must be more to it, it was a difficult situation for the judge to handle especially when a student voluntarily admitted defeat in such a crucial competition as the semi-finals.


    He then turned to the Real Man in Red Robe for guidance.


    The responsibility lay with the top brass of the academy.


    ¡°Can I ask why you admitted defeat?¡±


    The Real Man in Red Robe seated in his position, his expression calm, his tone filled with a seriousness distinct from when he previously questioned Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°If she had gone all out, my chances of winning would be slim. If we both ended up injuring each other, wouldn¡¯t that benefit the other participant during the finals?¡±


    Confronting the Real Man in the Gold Core, Kong Feichen met his gaze squarely, candidly stating his reason.


    ¡°Well, in that case, as you wish.¡±


    If it was his disciple or a descendant, the Real Man in the Red Robe would undoubtedly chastise them, but since it was an unrelated disciple, he simply nodded after querying, signaling the adjudicating teacher to announce the result.


    ¡°Since Kong Feichen has forfeited and admitted defeat, the winner is Yang Jing.¡±


    As soon as the result was announced, the hundreds of viewers who were crowding around the stage started to chat incessantly. Nearly 99% of them didn¡¯t believe in the reason given by Kong Feichen.


    ¡°Could it be due to love?¡±


    ¡°These two come from the same high school, both possessing Different Spiritual Roots, they might have fallen in love a long time ago.¡± ¡°This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter the four great Daoist Academies, which could change one¡¯s destiny. To give up for a woman is simply absurd!¡±


    Though many had regretful expressions, among the young students, there were quite a number who admired Kong Feichen¡¯s potential reason for forfeiting, due to love.


    ¡°Old Chen, if you were in Kong Feichen¡¯s position right now, and your opponent was Qing Nu, what would you do?¡±


    Suddenly, Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I will fight with all my might!¡±


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai spoke out his innermost thoughts.


    Entry into one of the four great Daoist Academies was like a chance to ascend to the heavens.


    Moreover, his relationship with Qjng Nu was purely platonic and didn¡¯t reach that level of intensity.


    Besides, there¡¯s still an abundance of time to explore romantic love.


    If one succeeds in Foundation Establishment, there will be more than two hundred years to look for a spouse. If one is lucky enough to reach Core Formation, even Nascent Soul, the lifespan would exceed a thousand years. Chen Mobai¡¯s dream was to complete his immortal cultivation and to take charge of the three main halls of the cultivation sect.


    I m beginning to doubt, did Qjng Nu actually chase after you?¡± Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s candid remark, Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t help but say a few words in admiration, which earned him an eye roll from Chen Mobai. He already said they were just friends.


    Chen Mobai saw that after descending from the stage, Kong Feichen and Yang


    Jing joined Qjng Nu. He wanted to ask what was going on.


    Didn¡¯t they agree to meet in the finals?


    Why did you break your promise?


    Who am I supposed to vent all my pent-up desire for victory on?


    ¡°Please welcome the two participants for the next round.¡±


    At that moment, the judging teacher on stage made the announcement. Chen


    Mobai had no choice but to suppress his doubts for now.


    Yan Feng made an impressive entrance as always, stepping lightly as if on air and basking in the cheers of the crowd as he landed in the center of the stage. Chen Mobai walked up, taking his time, each step consuming half a minute. After he had taken his position, Yan Feng frowned slightly. He had been all geared up, ready to defeat his lucky opponent in one go and showcase his undeniable supremacy in this Magic Duel.


    Yet, he had to wait for Chen Mobai, who dawdled, walking slowly for half a minute, which dissipated half of his morale.


    ¡°Please advise.¡±


    After Chen Mobai ascended the stage, he greeted with a bow, and out of respect, Yan Feng had no choice but to return the courtesy.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    After the adjudicating teacher uttered that remark, he immediately withdrew from the stage.


    Whiz!


    Without uttering any words, Yan Feng raised his right hand and with two fingers bunched in a sword-fighting position, he unleashed a formidable Finger Sword technique towards Chen Mobai, despite the fact that he had lost half of his built-up momentum.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Elemental Shield responded instantly, forming a spiral wave of light that deflected the powerful Finger Sword which was aimed at him.


    A collision of magic spells.


    Bang!


    The crowd felt their eardrums vibrate slightly as though they had heard the sound of muffled thunder. The vortex of water Chen Mobai had formed failed to fully neutralize all the energy from Yan Feng¡¯s Finger Sword technique. Chen Mobai was then forced to cast the Wooden Shield charm once more.


    But the Wooden Shield, radiant in its aqua hue, could only hold up for a second before it shattered. In the end, Chen Mobai had to reconstitute the Water Elemental Shield. Deploying a three-layered defense, he finally fended off Yan Feng¡¯s first Finger Sword attack.


    ¡°Not bad, you are the first person in this Magic Duel who has blocked one of my sword strikes.¡±


    Retracting his Finger Sword, Yan Feng¡¯s unrevealed surprise managed to break through his icy countenance.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, your strength lies in that sword strike. As long as 1 can block this sword strike, no matter how many more you throw at me, be it ten, hundred or thousand, their power can¡¯t surpass this first strike.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a charm was held between his fingers, and six Spirit Qi Long Arrows shot out like bullets from a gun barrel, aiming at Yan Feng¡¯s head chest, and four limbs.


    ¡°Hehl¡±


    Yan Feng sneered and raised his right hand Finger Sword to intercept the six


    Spirit Qi Long Arrows flying towards him.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    With six explosions, the Green Arrow Talisman was easily broken by his single Finger Sword, exploding into a sky full of spiritual light and dissipating over the stage.


    There¡¯s no need for you to probe. After reaching Qi Cultivation Level 7,1 started focusing on the ¡®Thirteen Swords of the Sky Sea¡¯.¡±


    ¡°This sword technique, starting from Qi Cultivation Level 7, each level allows one to condense a Sword Qi. I¡¯m currently at Qi Cultivation Level 9 but have condensed four Sword Qis.¡±


    What you¡¯ve just blocked was my first sword strike. There are three more to come. If you can block all of them, I will admit defeat.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With that, Yan Feng raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together again, revealing a sword charm at his fingertips.


    Chen Mobai was unable to identify the charm, as nobody in the previous six rounds had been able to force Yan Feng to make a second move, let alone use a charm, so there was no information at all.


    Woosh!


    The Sword Charm burned, and a dim radiance lit up at the tip of Yan Feng¡¯s fingers, transforming into a half-meter long, arm-thick Sword Qi at the blink of an eye.


    The second sword attack has been unleashed!

 Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Ice Knife_l

    Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Ice Knife_l


    Translator: 549690339


    When Yan Feng¡¯s second sword struck down, Chen Mobai felt an oppressive force far more potent than what he had previously experienced in the six rounds of the magical duel. It seemed like the air on the arena was cleaved apart by this strike.


    He could not take this sword strike head-on!


    His potent divine sense made him come to this judgment immediately.


    However, before each of Yan Feng¡¯s sword strikes, he would first lock onto Chen Mobai with his qi, forcing him into direct confrontation.


    ¡°I must first find a way to break this qi chain.¡±


    In the midst of these thoughts, Chen Mobai threw all of his remaining two rank-1 lower-grade talismans.


    At the same time, under his divine sense control, the dark water condensed into seven thin waves, emulating wings of cicadas.


    All the defensive power of Water Elemental Shield was concentrated by him onto the attack point of Yan Feng¡¯s sword.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The first three dark water waves couldn¡¯t withstand even for a moment. Upon contact with the Mengmeng Sword Qi emitted from Yan Feng¡¯s finger sword, they burst into a rain of water droplets.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Ice Breath was already fully brewed, and he breathed it out.


    With the ¡°crack¡± sound, the remaining four water waves were frozen into ice shields.


    But under the powerful impact of Yan Feng¡¯s second sword, two more ice shields were pierced, turning into fragments. Fortunately, the third ice shield managed to hold for a breath¡¯s time, followed by the last ice shield that lasted two seconds.


    Boom!


    Yan Feng finally broke through Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± and ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± conjured into the strongest seven-fold defense. The Mengmeng Sword Qi erupted from his fingertip had halved in size, leaving only about three centimeters in width and twenty centimeters in length.


    But he had already broken through all the obstacles and came in front of Chen Mobai. His right-hand double fingers were ready to strike, about to knock his opponent off the arena.


    ¡°Scatter!¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai yelled out and activated a simple talisman.


    The Quicksand Talisman!


    This rank-1 lower-grade talisman that could turn rocks into fine sand was used by immortal sects for creating ways through mountains.


    But when Chen Mobai used it here, he achieved an unexpected effect.


    Yan Feng¡¯s feet suddenly softened as the rocky stage under his feet instantly turned into a pit of sand, causing him to start sinking.


    But his eyes sharpened, disregarding everything, he even poured all the remaining power of his finger sword into a thrust aimed at Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    ¡°This guy is definitely in a different league compared to previous opponents.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to activate the ¡°Wood Armor Talisman¡±.


    This intermediate grade rank-1 defensive talisman transformed into a green light covering his whole body, barely blocking Yan Feng¡¯s finger sword, which already had been weakened seven times and was barely holding on.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Even so, Chen Mobai was forced to continually retreat by the powerful impact of this finger sword. His feet dragged out two marks on the arena. By the time he steadied himself, he was one step away from the edge of the arena.


    ¡°If the second sword forced me to use up all my defensive methods, aren¡¯t his third and fourth swords even more terrifying?¡±


    Chen Mobai let his thoughts run, pondering over the information about the cultivation techniques that Yan Feng had willingly revealed.


    If things were as Yan Feng had said, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the fourth sword, and might even be knocked down from the arena by the third sword.


    But there was no fear in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    The Sea Sword Qi, one can start training from the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and by the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, one should only be able to cultivate three sword Qis.


    If Yan Feng deliberately mentioned he had cultivated four sword Qis, it could be a tactic to unnerve his opponents by bluffing about being at the Foundation Establishment level, causing them to hesitate and become timid during the magic duel.


    Of course, Yan Feng may be a rare genius who managed to cultivate four sword Qis at the Qi Cultivating Realm.


    But regardless, in the present moment, he could only assume he didn¡¯t have it.


    He could not fall into Yan Feng¡¯s rhythm, allowing him to wield his sword at will.


    He needed to pressure him into using the Sea Sword Qi, to observe any potential weaknesses from it.


    Chen Mobai finalized his battle tactics, his eyes narrowing as he breathed out, maximizing the power of his Cold Ice Technique.


    The hundreds of students watching from around the arena, those with lower cultivation levels suddenly unconsciously shivered.


    ¡°Strange, how has it suddenly become cold in this hot summer?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng scratched his head, using his spiritual power to drive away the chill from his body.


    Yan Bingxuan, who had been pulled by Mo Simin to stand with them after Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival at the stage, brightened her beautiful eyes at this moment.


    ¡°Even my Xuan Ice Change couldn¡¯t withstand his Sea Sword Qi, can your Cold Ice Technique achieve that?¡±


    Before this, Yan Bingxuan had always thought that her strength and that of Chen Mobai should be on par.


    But, as the magic duel progressed, she came to realize that, although both she and Chen Mobai were at the Qi Cultivation Realm¡¯s seventh layer, the gap between them was quite significant.


    What she couldn¡¯t do, Chen Mobai might be able to.


    With this Cold Ice Technique, which she had helped him to comprehend and cultivate!


    Whoosh!


    A long and chilling stream of Ice Breath wildly spurted out from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth. The surrounding air temperature plummeted instantly, causing Lu Hongsheng¡¯s hair to stand on end and he couldn¡¯t help but sneeze.


    But everyone was so focused, their gaze towards the rainbow that had suddenly appeared above the arena was unwavering.


    The Dark Water, which was previously shattered into droplets and ice shards by Yan Feng, under the double enhancement of Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Controlling Technique and his Cold Ice Technique, turned into a gigantic semi-transparent ice knife. Under the sunlight, it emanated a seven-colored light.


    It was exceedingly dazzling and beautiful.


    Chen Mobai exerted 70% of his physical stamina¡¯s spiritual power, and used his strongest spell to form this three-meter long Rainbow Ice Knife, slashing heavily towards Yan Feng, who had been caught in quicksand because of the surge of his Sword Qi.


    Hum!


    Seeing this magnificent ice knife, Yan Feng didn¡¯t hesitate for a moment, and once again triggered a Sword Talisman. A clear Sword Sound echoed on the peak.


    A swing of the Finger Sword!


    A rumbling Sword Qi. Yan Feng, who had fallen into quicksand, his eyes were flickering with intense light. He rose like a sharp sword breaking through the sky, trying to escape the Rainbow Ice Knife¡¯s attack which was obviously slower and a bit clumsy, whilst simultaneously breaking free from the binding of quicksand.


    At this moment, another talisman, buried together with the Quicksand Talisman, was activated.


    Yan Feng who had just sprung out of the quicksand, his expression suddenly changed. Wooden columns rose rumblingly from the sand beneath him, forming a two-meter high wooden prison, tightly trapping him who intended to change direction.


    Bang!


    With a swift swipe of the Finger Sword, Yan Feng easily broke through this Wood Prison Talisman.


    But at the same time, the colossal Ice Knife had already fallen overhead. There was no time to dodge, he could only brace himself to withstand!


    Yan Feng hesitated for a moment. He didn¡¯t have any better solutions, so he could only reluctantly launch his third Sword Qi.


    Only to see that his right finger tip sparked a nearly two-meter long and double fists wide, giant Sword Qi, striking horizontally towards the Ice Knife that was slashing down from above.

    In the midst of the grating sound.


    The immense Ice Knife, under the impact of Yan Feng¡¯s third Sword Qi, had some small cracks before it shattered with a loud bang.


    ¡°Let¡¯s decide the outcome!¡±


    The silently chanting Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate, nor did he want to face the third sword head-on anymore, let alone consider the fourth sword he wasn¡¯t sure about!


    He drew out his final talisman!

 Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Heaven Heart Sword Talisman l

    Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Heaven Heart Sword Talisman l


    Translator: 549690339


    Yan Feng was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had encountered in this magic duel so far.


    All his previous opponents had fallen at the first blow of his Sea Sword Qi.


    After learning about Yan Feng¡¯s powerful abilities from Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai entered this round without any delusions of fluke.


    He brought his strongest talisman.


    He clasped his hands together, then opened them. A long rectangular talisman, with a yellow base and red lines, floated above his palm.


    The Crimson Flame Tri-Sword Talisman!


    Three sword-shaped red patterns on the talisman appeared like a trident. After Chen Mobai injected his spiritual power into it, the talisman began to burn. One sword pattern leaped up from the talisman, transforming into a nearly two-meter, crimson flame longsword.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Chen Mobai grasped at the air with his right hand, linking his divine sense with the flame longsword. Borrowing Yan Feng¡¯s sense of locking onto him, he locked onto his opponent in return!


    Boom!


    In the roaring sound of the Red Flame Sword Qi, a formidable aura was released that was no inferior to Yan Feng¡¯s Sea Sword Qi.


    Wherever it passed, the air was cut open, and the invisible burning airflow even cut open the stage, sweeping up dust. With dreadful might capable of incinerating everything, it slashed down in front of Yan Feng.


    ¡°Good, you¡¯re not bad.¡±


    Even the usually cold-faced Yan Feng broke into a wide grin.


    Facing the formidable Red Flame Sword Qi, he didn¡¯t dodge this time.


    The third Sea Sword, which had just shattered the ice blade, was festering like a spirit snake on his right fingertips. With his soaring fighting spirit, it lit up a vast, unprecedented mysterious glow.


    Boom!


    When the Red Flame Sword Qi and the third Sea Sword met, the two incompatible spiritual powers exploded into a huge shockwave upon contact.


    The audience under the stage only saw the red flame sword qi explode into blinding brilliance upon impact, then gradually dimmed as if being swallowed by the mysterious glow, ultimately dissipating into wisps of smoke, disappearing into thin air.


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    Indeed, Yan Feng was formidable. His third Sea Sword combined with the sword talisman had forcefully shattered the Red Flame Sword Qi in a head-on confrontation.


    Raising the third sword qi on his fingertips which only had fifty percent of its spiritual power remaining, he thrust it straight towards Chen Mobai who remained standing unmoving in place.


    ¡°Not good, Old Chen, quickly admit defeat!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Lu Hongsheng, who was under the platform, was so anxious that he was breaking out in cold sweats.


    Song Zheng, Mo Simin, Yan Bingxuan, and other classmates also looked worried.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the roaring sound of the Red Flame Sword Qi resonated once again.


    With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, the sword pattern in the center of the talisman in front of him ignited and leapt up, forming another flame longsword, he slashed fiercely at Yan Feng who had arrived in front of him.


    Caught off guard,


    Yan Feng could only raise his right hand¡¯s sword finger to intercept the Red Flame Sword Qi that had come down on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s not over yet!¡±


    Chen Mobai gripped with his other hand, and the last Red Flame Sword Qi also jumped out wrapped in flames. As he swung his wrist, he slashed fiercely at Yan Feng, whose sword finger was only left with a wisp of mysterious glow.


    ¡°I can¡¯t block it!¡±


    Yan Feng made a judgment the moment the third Red Flame Sword Qi appeared. His third Sea Sword Qi had less than ten percent of its spiritual power left.


    He needs time to use the fourth sword qi, this was the biggest dilemma he had encountered in the magic duel so far.


    Luckily, Yan Feng considered the possibility of encountering such a situation beforehand, so he equipped a defensive talisman.


    The very common ¡°Golden Light Talisman¡± lit up in his palm. After the third Sea Sword Qi was entirely worn down by the Red Flame Sword Qi, it perfectly blocked the Red Flame Sword Qi¡¯s attack for two seconds.


    Taking advantage of this brief period, he pulled out the last trump card of his talisman.


    The one that only has a sword wound drawn on it.


    But in the moment this talisman appeared, the always relaxed representatives of the Daoist Academy, including the nonchalant real person in red robes, all changed their expressions.


    ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman! I didn¡¯t expect him to possess a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman!¡±


    ¡°Using this talisman on a Qi practitioner is a waste!¡±


    ¡°Wasting natural resources!¡±


    White paper, black ink, and the brushstroke was as sharp as a sword!


    A hint of reluctance flashed across Yan Feng¡¯s face, but in the end, he steeled his heart, injected his spiritual power, and activated this ungraded ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±.


    Although he is a prodigy and the three Sword Qi of ¡°Thirteen Sea Swords¡± Qi cultivation chapter have already reached perfection, to cultivate the fourth Sword Qi, he must reach the Foundation Building Realm.


    However, there are countless miracles and strange methods in the sects. Some talismans and magic artifacts allow practitioners to use the power of the upper layer.


    This ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± is one of them.


    A thousand years ago, two Rank-4 Talisman Makers from the Heavenly Book Academy and the Mountain and Sea Academy created this talisman together.


    And classified it as ¡°ungraded¡±.


    Because any cultivator can use the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±, and it automatically matches the user¡¯s cultivation level to unleash an even more powerful force.


    If Yan Feng, who is at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, uses this Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, he could slash out sword qi at the Foundation Building level for a short period of time!


    Similarly, if a cultivator at the perfection of Foundation Establishment uses this talisman, it can also unleash powerful sword qi at the Gold Core level.


    However, there is a limit to this talisman, and it can only unleash the power at the Gold Core level at most.


    Because the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman can bring out the power from the Qi cultivation to the Gold Core across the three realms according to the user¡¯s cultivation level, it is an ungraded talisman.


    It¡¯s unbelievable that Yan Feng used this talisman for this magic duel. The representatives of the Daoist Academy felt that it was utterly unnecessary.


    There was no need at all.


    The method to refine the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± is passed down in the two academies, but after the two founders passed away, no new ones have been made.


    There are probably less than twenty of them circulating in the sects.


    Extremely precious.


    While the representatives from the Daoist Academy were regretting, Chen Mobai, who was on the stage, was facing the sword talisman directly and feeling an unprecedented pressure.


    It seemed there was a fierce sword qi enough to tear him apart brewing from the sword talisman at Yan Feng¡¯s fingertips.


    He didn¡¯t know the origin of this talisman, nor did he think about it. He just urged the talisman he could use to its limit!


    He bit his finger and, following the method Wang Yuanwu had taught him, mixed a drop of essence blood with all his remaining spiritual power and injected it into the talisman floating in front of him.


    ¡°Three Red Flame Swords, Purple Sun Sword Array!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense erupted completely, and the Red Flame Sword Talisman, having unleashed its three sword qi, absorbed his essence blood and spiritual power. It started to produce a strong suction force, drawing back all three Red Flame Sword Qi defeated by Yan Feng.


    In the blink of an eye, this talisman started to burn with roaring flames.


    The flames first turned a deep red, then deepened further, eventually transforming into a faint purple flame.


    This faint purple flame seemed to be of extremely high temperature. The moment it appeared, it completely consumed the talisman.


    A streak of purple flame emerged, seeming like a slender strip held between his hands..

    Translator: 549690339


    Veins throbbed on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, his hands trembling.


    He had never imagined that after unleashing the full power of this talisman, it would be so hard to control.


    If not for his diligent practice of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± recently, which had enhanced his Divine Sense, he would have lost control over this Purple Blaze Sword Aura long ago.


    Despite this, he could still feel a sense of agitation and violent energy emanating from the purple flame, which was leaping and burning between his fingertips like a conscious being itself, constantly surging, trying to break free from his divine sense control.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, once I wield this sword, you are doomed to lose!¡±


    At this moment, Yan Feng also completed his fourth sword.


    The ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± in his fingertip turned into a sky-shattering gloomy aura about five or six meters long. Carrying a terrifying pressure of stagnating airflow, it slashed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Perfect, my Purple Flame Tri-Sword Talisman is also ready.¡±


    Chen Mobai shouted inwardly, it was perfect timing. A dazzling flame of purple color sprung up from his fingertips in an instant.


    He let go of his control over the Purple Blaze Sword Aura with both hands and struggled to guide the flame with his divine sense to face the Sea Sword Qi slashing towards him from Yan Feng.


    One purple light, one gloomy aura!


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the two Sword Auras collided. After a moment of silence, they exploded, sending out a shockwave after shockwave in expanding circles, spreading in all directions from the arena.


    Everywhere the shockwaves went, the rocks in the arena cracked open, the air burned, and the gravel was crushed into dust.


    In the midst of the startled cries, just when the nearest hundreds of spectators were about to be affected, several figures suddenly descended, waving their hands and forming a giant cubic light shield that closed off the area.


    It was the student council members from the Cinnabarite Institute who had been on standby. Under the leadership of the familiar student council president, they restricted all the aftermath of the Sword Qi collision to the arena.


    But it made things tough for Chen Mobai and Yan Feng.


    At this point, both felt they were losing control over their own Sword Auras and could only passively supply their inner spiritual and vital energies as the power source for the rapidly ascending Sword Qi.


    Because of his lower Realm level, Chen Mobai had been merely waiting for the outcome after releasing the control on the Purple Blaze Sword Aura.


    The moment this Purple Blaze Sword Aura was cast, he could only leave it to fate.


    Because he had run out of all spiritual power inside his body, as it had all been injected into the Sword Qi.


    On the other hand, Yan Feng still had half of his spiritual power left. He felt that once his ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± was out, the fourth Sea Sword could completely crush Chen Mobai and secure victory.


    But the development of the situation was completely unexpected.


    The fourth sword he forcibly launched with the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± was actually suppressed by the Purple Blaze Sword Qi in the first instance.


    Yan Feng could not accept it, his face turning red as he burst out with all the remaining spiritual power in his body, increasing the power of his fourth sword.


    The power of the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± depends on the user, and can be ascended up to Rank-3 at most.


    Yan Feng, being at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, had already shown great rarity by using this valuable talisman to launch a Foundation Establishment level Sea Sword Qi across a large Realm boundary, even if draining his entire Dantian could only increase it a little bit.


    However, charging it with the remaining half of his spiritual power balanced the power of the two Sword Auras.


    ¡°Damn it, just a little bit more, if I had a little more spiritual power, I could overpower this Purple Fire Sword Aura.¡±


    At this point, Yan Feng began to regret using the Flying Talisman earlier which had wasted his spiritual power.


    In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the two Sword Auras clashed and exploded, the shockwaves pushing him backward.


    ¡°I have to hang in there.¡±


    Yan Feng planted his feet firmly, hoping to stay on the stage.


    Across him, Chen Mobai looked equally pale, retreating step by step under the impact of the Sword Aura¡¯s aftermath.


    It was a matter of who would leave the stage first.


    ¡°I¡¯m at the center of the arena, I have more room to fall back, I can win.¡±


    Yan Feng¡¯s divine sense circulated, calculating the distance between him and Chen Mobai, and his eyes suddenly lit up.


    Just as he saw a glimmer of hope, Chen Mobai grinned at him and immediately dropped to the ground. In this position, his fallback speed slowed down.


    Yan Feng was taken aback, but he sneered and did the same, dropping to the ground.


    ¡°I can give up in the face of victory.¡±


    Whispering to himself, Yan Feng gripped onto the stage with both his hands and feet, step by step, he was pushed off the stage by the Sword Aura¡¯s aftermath.


    But his eyes were filled with excitement, for he knew Chen Mobai would definitely leave the stage before him.


    Almost five minutes later, the power of the two Sword Auras finally died down. Yan Feng managed to get himself up, wanting to embrace his victory.


    But he realized that Chen Mobai was not beneath the stage.


    Moreover, the spectators looked at him with pity.


    ¡°Where is he?¡±


    Yan Feng looked around, his hoarse voice questioning the adjudicating teacher who stepped onto the stage. He found no sign of Chen Mobai on or below the stage.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    The adjudicating teacher walked to a pit on the stage, extending a hand to pull out Chen Mobai who was trapped in quicksand.


    The latter had completely run out of strength and after being pulled out, he lay on the stage, gasping for breath.


    ¡°The winner, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Upon hearing these six words, Yan Feng stood stupefied under the arena.


    Looking at his opponent lying on the stage, he felt a sense of regret for the first time.


    He should have been the winner.


    He had even used the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± passed down from his ancestors¡­


    Chen Mobai did not understand his opponent¡¯s emotions, for joy and satisfaction had already filled his chest.


    He had won!


    Indeed, he, a cultivator honed in life-and-death battles, participating in this child¡¯s play-like magic duel, managed to win the end, even though his Realm was lower.


    It was with this belief, that Chen Mobai, even when facing Yan Feng¡¯s ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±, didn¡¯t lose his sanity, but calmly sought everything he could use to find the light of victory.


    He had accurately seized control of the pit he had created earlier using the Quicksand Talisman.


    [If someone interviews me later, I¡¯ll say this was a tactical plan I had laid earlier, Yan Feng¡¯s all actions were within my calculations¡­]

    While thinking this, Chen Mobai suddenly felt his body being lifted up.


    He struggled to turn his head and found he was being lifted by Lu Hongsheng and his classmates, all celebrating wildly.


    [Really now, this is just the semi-finals, the championship has not yet been won.]


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes at his classmates¡¯ premature celebration after the semi-finals.


    But he was completely drained, and he could only let them lift him..

    Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Reason_l


    Translator: 549690339


    At dusk, Chen Mobai woke up from a deep sleep.


    He was lying on his bed in his cave dwelling, enjoying the rest he hadn¡¯t had in a long time, and mustered the energy to sit up.


    Today¡¯s two duels, because of Kong Feichen¡¯s direct withdrawal in the first round, led to Chen Mobai and Yan Feng going on stage ahead of time.


    However, both of them were quick fighters. Their duel lasted less than fifteen minutes, and the winner was decided within four slashes of their swords.


    After the magical duel, even though Chen Mobai was more exhausted and Yan Feng could still stand, the latter left the platform. The ultimate victory belonged to the former.


    While he was being lifted up by the students of his academy in a wild celebration, Ning Anning smiled and came over to help him adjust his qi and meridians, also asking if he was interested in studying at the Imperial Medical Academy.


    Chen Mobai did not know how to respond and passed out due to the fatigue of his body.


    When he woke up, it was now.


    He wasn¡¯t sure who had brought him back to his cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai turned his head and picked up his mobile phone on the edge of his bed, discovering that there were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.


    He glanced at them, first called his parents back, then sent a group text message to the relatives who saw his match on TV.


    He said he would work hard for the upcoming finals, so he wouldn¡¯t be able to return their calls.


    Finally, Chen Mobai read the text from Qing Nu and naturally dialed her number.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your concern, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    The familiar clear voice sounded, and Chen Mobai responded gently.


    ¡°Are you free right now?¡±


    Qing Nu suddenly asked, Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but still nodded.


    ¡°I am in my own cave dwelling, are you still at the Cinnabarite Institute?¡±


    ¡°Yes, which dormitory building are you in? I¡¯ll come to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai put down his phone and sent his location to Qing Nu.


    After a while, there was a knock on the door.


    Upon opening the door, Qing Nu, disguised with a mask and cap, smiled and waved at him.


    ¡°Congratulations on making it to the finals.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused, then asked another question.


    ¡°Are you coming in for a while? Or shall we go out for a walk?¡±


    ¡°I think I¡¯ll come in and sit down. After all, you¡¯re still quite weak.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not completely agree with this statement, but sensing the unprecedented emptiness in his Qi Sea, he reluctantly opened the door to let Qing Nu in.


    ¡°Here, you haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you? This is the dinner I brought for you.¡±


    As Qing Nu entered, she put two boxes of small buns she carried in her hand on the table inside the cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai was indeed a little hungry and didn¡¯t hesitate to dig in.


    ¡°Speak, what are you here for?¡±


    ¡°I was with Little Dust and Little Scenery earlier, trying to persuade Little Scenery to withdraw from the finals.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was enjoying his meal, choked on this sentence and sprayed out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? I¡¯m looking forward to winning the championship under the watchful eyes of the public, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    Even though he had exhausted the biggest card, the Burning Flame Triple Sword Talisman, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were both students from a Taoist public high school. They were unlike Yan Feng who was from an old and wealthy family and could not have such an overwhelming item like the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    In a normal battle, Chen Mobai felt that he had a 51% chance of defeating Kong Feichen. Against Yang Jing, not taking into account the unknown Forbidden Technique, he should have a 65% chance of winning.


    ¡°Your battle with Yan Feng was too fierce. Even if you could recover your spiritual power in three days, you wouldn¡¯t be able to compensate for the loss of your qi, blood, and essence.¡±


    Qing Nu was an alchemist. Medicine and alchemy go hand in hand. She was well-aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s physical condition.


    ¡°Even so, I should be able to beat Yang Jing.¡±


    Chen Mobai said calmly, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Qing Nu with a puzzled look.


    What was her relationship with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing?


    The latter two seemed to call her ¡°sister¡±?


    Even if she was their sister, why could she make them give up the chance to enter the Taoist Academy?


    Moreover, the relationship between Kong Feichen and Yang Jing seemed abnormal. Under these circumstances, how could they simply concede defeat because of the latter¡¯s caprice, giving up the opportunity to ascend to heaven? There were too many doubts in his heart.


    Chen Mobai did not ask.


    He trusted Qing Nu.


    So he waited for Qing Nu to reveal it herself.


    ¡°We grew up in the same orphanage. I am older than both of them so they call me sister.¡±


    ¡°They were adopted by two cultivator families in Red Sandstone City that could not have children. But we always kept in touch. We three are not actual siblings, but we are closer than actual ones.¡±


    ¡°So, when Yang Jing decided to go to the finals, Kong Feichen agreed because it¡¯s the first time that Yang Jing had a say in something in many years.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°What kind of orphanage could take in two Different Spiritual Root children, and you, a Heavenly Spiritual Root child!¡±


    Qing Nu did not hide anything. It was an orphanage established by the official Taoist sect in Red Sandstone City, located in the eastern part of the city.


    Chen Mobai looked it up on the map, and it was indeed there.


    ¡°Perhaps it was a coincidence. All three of us have good Spiritual Root Talents.¡±


    As for Qing Nu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai could only take it as it was for now.


    ¡°Later, the family that adopted Yang Jing, after learning about her Dark Spiritual Root, found a Forbidden Technique for her to cultivate. At the age of 14, this matter was discovered by law enforcement. Her adoptive parents were incarcerated.¡±


    ¡°As Yang Jing was also a victim, and because she had already mastered the Forbidden Technique and could no longer abandon it, the Taoist sect allowed her to return to society after conferring her as a magical cultivator, to go to school and grow up.¡±


    ¡°But Forbidden Techniques are still Forbidden Techniques. To prevent her from being possessed in the future, the law enforcement department of the Taoist sect put an electronic bracelet on her wrist. Apart from monitoring her mental status, it also tracks her location at all times.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He felt that things probably weren¡¯t so simple.


    ¡°So why did you try to persuade her to forfeit the finals?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu lifted her slender and smooth fingers, breaking them one by one to list the reasons.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Firstly, your strength is too strong. If Little Scenery wants to beat you, she will definitely have to use the Forbidden Technique. But every time she uses her Twofold Divine Technique, it brings her a step closer to death. I don¡¯t want her to use it.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, after she started cultivating the Forbidden Technique, the best place for her to go is the Imperial Medical Academy. I and Little Dust hope that she can study medicine, hopefully to find a way to stop cultivating the Forbidden Technique. The reason why I chose the Jumang Daoist Academy is because I want to find a cure for her from medicine. With Little Scenery¡¯s current results, as long as she is willing, it¡¯s absolutely not a problem to go to the Imperial Medical Academy. There¡¯s really no need for her to have a fierce battle with you.¡±


    ¡°Thirdly, which is also the last reason.¡±


    At this point, Qing Nu raised her head and looked straight into Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I hope that you can go to the Academy!¡±

 Chapter 128 - Chapter 128: Chapter 128_1

    Chapter 128: Chapter 128_1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I would also like to go, but I am short of points.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Although he could possibly win first place in the Magic Duel, if the four major Daoist Academies didn¡¯t want to accept him, they could completely reject him by setting a points threshold.


    At this moment, all he could do was to perform to the best of his ability in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with your outstanding performance, the four Daoist Academies would definitely be willing to lower their points threshold to accept you,¡± said Qing Nu.


    Her words gave Chen Mobai a slight confidence boost.


    ¡°I have done all I can; the rest is up to fate. Even if I can¡¯t enter the four Daoist Academies, it¡¯s not impossible for me to ascend to become an Immortal if I go to Pure Yang Academy or Primordial Elemental Academy.¡±


    The ultimate goal of all cultivators on the planet Earth Element Star is to Ascend to Immortality.


    In front of Qing Nu, Chen Mobai allowed himself to express his desires for reaching the pinnacle of Cultivation realm.


    ¡°If your goal is to ascend to Immortality, then you should start cultivating the Original Soul Technique.¡±


    After hearing this, Qing Nu began giving serious advice to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh? Why is that? Isn¡¯t it said that of the 84,000 Daoist scriptures in the Immortal Cultivation path, in the end, all lead to the seven Original Soul Cultivation Techniques?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it strange. In his impression, the Cultivation Technique pyramid of the Immortal Path should allow anyone from the base of the pyramid to reach the pinnacle in the end.


    ¡°I heard this from my teacher. The Cultivation Techniques in the National Library are based on the seven Original Soul Techniques, but they have essentially become the paths that the talented individuals have carved out for themselves.¡±


    ¡°If you want to return to the original path of Ascendancy, after Nascent Soul Formation, you need to spend some time transitioning to an Original Soul Cultivation Technique. If they share the same origin, at most, it would be a waste of a few decades. But if their origins are too different, then you can only carve out your own Path to Immortality or ponder upon the Jade Purity Scripture, which is very difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if you are confident in yourself and resolutely practice the Elemental Soul Technique from the beginning, at the very least, you can save several decades to ponder on the Elemental Soul Technique after Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai carefully thought about it, and indeed, it was as she said.


    If he aimed to Ascend from the beginning and solidly laid his foundations with this goal throughout his Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul periods, then indeed he could be more confident during the final step of condensing his Elemental Soul.


    If that was the case, then the reason ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± and ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± had been recommended out of the 30 Cultivation Techniques for Chen Mobai by the artificial spiritual being in the National Library was probably because they were aimed at helping him Ascend.


    [My Spiritual Root Talents are average, so these two are the most suitable Elemental Soul Techniques for me.]


    Chen Mobai suddenly realized.


    Of the seven Elemental Soul Techniques in the Immortal path, the other five had extremely strict prerequisites, not even Heavenly Spiritual Roots could necessarily meet.


    In theory, the Pure Yang Scroll should also be like this, only those with Pure Yang Daoist bodies could cultivate it. However, after Elder Yuan Yang risked his life to test the technique and succeed in forming the Elemental Soul, he created a post-natal cultivation method for the Pure Yang Daoist body, allowing all living beings to adopt the Pure Yang Daoist body, an achievement of immeasurable merit.


    ¡°If you are going to Jumang Dao Academy, you will certainly cultivate the Lasting Spring Cultivation. It¡¯s said that after cultivating it, you will remain forever young. It¡¯s truly a great fit for you girls,¡± Chen Mobai commented, thinking about Ascendancy, as they were within his cave dwelling.


    She removed her mask and hat, exposing her stunningly beautiful face, which time should never erode.


    ¡°This may not be feasible. Lasting Spring Cultivation is an Ascendancy Technique that only those with Earth, Water and Wood Heavenly Spiritual Roots can cultivate. I only have a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. I fear I can only attempt it after Nascent Soul Formation,¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, revealing a truth that greatly surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Earth, Water and Wood Heavenly Spiritual Roots all needed for Cultivation?! Where can we find such a person among Immortal cultivators?¡±


    ¡°None are born with it, but we can cultivate it after birth. The techniques in our sect to promote and purify the Spiritual Root were originally created by those with great power, who wanted to cultivate immensely demanding techniques such as Lasting Spring Cultivation.¡±


    Having heard what Qing Nu said and having thought about his own Spiritual Root Attributes, Chen Mobai was left speechless.


    He had thought that since Qing Nu started with Heavenly Spiritual Root, she had already reached the peak at the start. He hadn¡¯t expected that even she couldn¡¯t cultivate the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    If he wanted to Ascend with his slightly above-average Spiritual Root, he might really be left with the choice to cultivate only ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± or ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡±.


    Of course, Chen Mobai could also choose to first cultivate a more common technique, such as the Five Elements Cultivation.


    This fundamental Immortal Cultivation Technique can be cultivated until the first layer of Nascent Soul Formation.


    At that point, he could then switch to ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± and ponder the method of Ascendancy.


    But during the 6,800 years of immortal cult legend, only one person has managed to form an Elemental Soul through ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± cultivation, and that person was regarded as the most dazzling figure in the history of Earth Element Star.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in himself, he decided not to challenge this difficulty after all.


    He would take the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± route honestly, since this path has already been paved by Elder Yuan Yang. All the difficulties were a matter of Spirit Stones and resources.


    For other Immortal Cultivators, simply cultivating the Pure Yang Body postnatally would consume half of their lifespan, and those who could reach the threshold of Ascendancy could be counted on one hand.


    However, for Chen Mobai, he only needs to have the support of Tianhe Realm. He only needs to strive harder and earning the Spirit Stones required for cultivating Pure Yang Body wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    With the resources of the Tianhe Realm, he could cultivate the techniques of the Immortal Path.


    Maybe then, he really might have a chance to catch a glimpse of the realm of Ascendancy.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt it didn¡¯t matter whether he goes to four major Daoist Academies or not.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made my decision!¡±


    Qing Nu, who was getting ready to say her goodbyes and leave, suddenly heard Chen Mobai speaking solemnly. She was a bit confused at first, but she soon reacted and guessed what he meant. Her pretty face turned red instantly, and she asked hesitantly.


    ¡°What have you decided?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Qing Nu looked disappointed.


    Chen Mobai was puzzled at her reaction. Was it because he had given up the four major Daoist Academies that she was disappointed?


    ¡°I want to ascend to become Immortal, and among the seven major Ascendancy Techniques in the Immortal path, the Pure Yang Scroll is the most suitable for me. As I¡¯m planning to cultivate this technique, whether I go to four Daoist Academies doesn¡¯t really matter. After all, none knows the Pure Yang Scroll better than Pure Yang Academy, and it still has the strongest atmosphere since it was established by Elder Yuan Yang himself,¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Qing Nu¡¯s disappointment faded away. However, she said something that made him feel slightly uncomfortable.


    ¡°Do you know that Pure Yang Scroll and the Ascendancy Technique of Dance Tool Dao Academy share the same origin!¡±

 Chapter 129 - Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Battle Law Victory l

    Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Battle Law Victory l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai honestly didn¡¯t know this.


    ¡°The Cinnabarite Institute¡¯s ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ and ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ were passed down by Yun Ya, one of the five founders of the immortal sects,¡± Qing Nu began.


    ¡°As the story goes, Yun Ya was actually a Supreme Elder of the Dan Ding Sect, one of the original patriarchs, before coming to Earth. These two cultivation techniques were fundamental to his sect, and he practiced ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ himself and used it to ascend to become Immortal,¡± she continued.


    ¡°The ¡®Pure Yang Scroll,¡¯ due to the difficulty of finding those with the Pure Yang body required for its inheritance, was kept with him for a long time. It wasn¡¯t until thousands of years after he started to cultivate at the Immortal Gate that Yuan Yang was able to successfully practice it,¡± she finished.


    Qing Nu recounted these facts as if listing cherished family heirlooms, causing Chen Mobai to nod along in continued agreement.


    ¡°Where did you hear all this? How come I¡¯ve never heard it before?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I came across these facts posted by anonymous users on an online forum while I was killing time. I have a deep impression of them because they involve ancient Immortals,¡± she explained.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the depth of knowledge among internet users.


    ¡°Well, it looks like my first target should be the Dance Tool Daoist Academy,¡± he said.


    ¡°Indeed, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy has a low profile; ranked among the bottom four of the immortal gates, but in fact, its foundation is extraordinary. Chixia, one of our local real people in Red Sandstone City, is a graduate of the academy. Our local Cinnabarite and Danxia institutes can be considered its branches,¡± confirmed Qing Nu, nodding in agreement with Chen Mobai¡¯s choice.


    The two chatted some more before Chen Mobai noticed it was getting dark and went to see Qing Nu off.


    ¡°You go ahead, I can wait for my ride alone,¡± she said.


    They honored the parting at the school gate. Since the final would take place three days later, Qing Nu decided not to stay at a local hotel for three days, as it would be a waste of money and time.


    ¡°I have plenty of time,¡± Chen Mobai reassured, shaking his head. He watched Qing Nu board her vehicle and waved her off before heading back himself.


    When he returned to his dwelling-


    He decided to visit the national library first. He typed ¡°The Union of Differences¡± into the search bar!


    Immediately, he found hundreds of precise results.


    ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Divisional Chapters of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Explanation of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Different Interpretations of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Solution to The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Chapter Notes of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Chapter and Verse of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Miscellaneous Notes on The Union of Differences,¡¯¡­


    Chen Mobai clicked on the one with the most views, ¡®The Union of Differences.¡¯


    Unsurprisingly, it was the authentic script of the Way of God Transformation Technique.


    ¡®The Union of Differences: Using Heaven and Earth as the alchemical vessel, Yin and Yang as barriers, water and fire as the transformative mechanism, the Five Elements as aids, and metaphysical essence as the base of the elixir. Man and Heaven mix and blend, attracting the true Yang of Heaven to transform the Yin qi in the human body, ultimately refining Qi to become a God. This is compliant with nature¡¯s creation!¡¯


    The opening general outline sounded very profound. After comparing it with the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai realized that both were hyped up quite a bit.


    As for what Qing Nu had said about the two techniques originating from the same source, he couldn¡¯t see it with his current level of understanding.


    But the download points for ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ were as high as three hundred million, which left Chen Mobai quite surprised.


    He wanted to try downloading the initial part that dealt with Qi Cultivation, to see what special nuances it contained.


    However, he found out that ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ was only available in its entirety and not like ¡®The Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ which had individual chapters.


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t make sense. Does that mean I can only learn the fundamentals of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ if I go to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy?¡± he pondered aloud.


    Understanding more and more, Chen Mobai logged out amidst his muttering, opened the other techniques with ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ in their titles, and glimpsed over the first couple of pages that could be previewed. It was all so confusing; he couldn¡¯t make sense of any of it.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai began to question whether he was lacking in comprehension.


    However, one of his best attributes was his self-awareness.


    If he couldn¡¯t understand it, then he wouldn¡¯t strain himself by trying to read it.


    After all, once he entered the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the teachers there would surely teach him.


    Putting down his phone, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on the bed to recover the spiritual power he had exhausted while using his Red Flame Three Sword Talisman.


    If he were to recover by meditating, it would take an entire day. Being a critical juncture, he couldn¡¯t afford to waste time.


    He took out a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡± and slapped it onto his body.


    A Rank-1 superior talisman was indeed extraordinary.


    Chen Mobai soon felt his empty Dantian filling up, and his previously weak body gradually regained its strength. On the surface, he looked like he had completely recovered.


    However, on examining himself more closely using his Divine Sense, he noticed that his body was still slightly slower in responsiveness than when he was at his pinnacle state.


    This was because he used a drop of his essence when activating the Red Flame Three Sword Talisman, which resulted in a temporary drain in his Qi and essence.


    But this wasn¡¯t a major concern.


    During the treatment on the stage, Ning Anning had already provided a prescription, stating that two Blood-boosting Talisman and Qi-boosting Talisman would make a quick recovery.


    Cinnabarite Institute was known for its talisman cultivation and was the largest talisman supplier in Red Sandstone City. Nearly all students cultivated talismans unless they were extremely specialized ones.


    The next day, Chen Mobai asked Chan Si for help.


    Once he heard the request, Chan Si, in no time, used his connections and found seniors who specialized in Blood-boosting and Qi-boosting Talismans to buy the needed two talismans and, along with Shen Juanxiu, personally handed them to Chen Mobai.


    After expressing gratitude, Chen Mobai retreated to his cave dwelling to focus on restoring his Qi and blood.


    Through a nearly month-long magic duel, his spiritual power had markedly improved. However, compared to his Qi Cultivating Realm, his growth in Divine Sense was truly astonishing.


    Perhaps it was because of the happiness and satisfaction he had gained during this period, or maybe it was because his profound foundation made him particularly suited for the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.¡± But on the eve of the finals, during his quiet meditation, he was actually able to form another green sprout through his contemplation.


    Because this progress had no levels to measure against, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t clearly comprehend his Divine Sense¡¯s current realm.


    But he could feel that grasping spiritual power and refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was much easier for him now.


    Time flew by like a river.


    Soon it was the day of the finals.


    Chen Mobai and Yang Jing stood on the stage, greeting each other with a nod.


    ¡°Begin!¡±


    After the referee teacher left the stage, neither of them made the first move immediately.


    ¡°My sister won¡¯t let me use the Twofold Divine Technique. I¡¯m sure I won¡¯t be able to withstand your Purple Flame Talisman if I do,¡± Yang Jing suddenly said.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He had also done some research on the Twofold Divine Technique, but to his dismay, his main account, Blue Emperor, didn¡¯t have enough access rights, and he couldn¡¯t find any related information.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you are Qing Nu¡¯s sister, and we don¡¯t need to fight to the death. How about we just use spells to fight, no talismans, and you don¡¯t use forbidden techniques?¡± he suggested.


    Even though Chen Mobai only had one Red Flame Three Sword Talisman left, he managed to defeat each opponent and advance to the finals, thanks to the perfect combination of spell and various talismans.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Without talismans, his strengths were greatly reduced.


    If it were anyone else, a pure spell duel between a seventh stage Qi Cultivator and a mismatched spiritual root ninth stage Qi Cultivator like Yang Jing would undoubtedly be a losing battle.


    But when Chen Mobai proposed this, everyone felt he was fair.


    ¡°This person is a natural talent in magic duels, swiftly defeating each opponent in under a minute. Overcoming stronger opponents has become his normal state, hence deserving the title ¡®Duel Law Victory¡¯,¡± Chixia, veiled in his red robe, suddenly commented from the audience stand.


    Hearing this, the representatives of the four major Daoist Academies felt a slight chill in their hearts..

 Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Persuasion_l

    Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Persuasion_l


    Translator: 549690339 1


    The representatives of the four Great Dao Academies fell silent.


    No one dared to respond.


    ¡°Yiqing, I¡¯ve heard that the enrollment situation at Dance Tool Dao Academy


    hasn¡¯t been ideal in the recent ten years.¡±


    With no one fueling the conversation, the Red Robed Daoist continued, being an alumnus and currently a listed teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    As his junior, Bian Yiqing could only respond with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Indeed, not only in the recent ten years, but if we go back to the past thirty years, the number of new students admitted to our Dance Tool Dao Academy has always been the lowest among the four academies.1¡®


    ¡°As a teacher of the academy, I am very concerned about this and have been pondering on how to improve the situation.


    ¡°Oh, what would be your wise suggestion?¡±


    Playing along quite well, the Red Robed Daoist, satisfied, glanced at Bian


    Yiqing and then pointed towards Chen Mobai and Yang Jing on the stage.


    ¡°In these two, if Yang Jing wins, her score would be sufficient to enter any of the four Great Dao Academies, do you think she would choose Dance Tool Dao


    Academy?¡±


    ¡°She probably wouldn¡¯t.¡±


    Bian Yiqing frowned and shook his head.


    The Dark Spirit Root is extremely rare and there are not many cultivation techniques suitable for it, but it just happens to be suited to cultivating one part of ¡°The Six Discipline Sutra¡±, as well as a secret technique derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    But if Yang Jing wins the championship and can freely choose which of the four


    Great Dao Academies to enter, ninety percent would choose the Kunpeng


    Daoist Institute.


    ¡°What if Chen Mobai wins?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the Daoist already ask him before? He said his first choice is Jumang Daoist Academy, and the second is the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°But he can¡¯t enter either of these two academies. Jumang already has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and the Repairing Heaven values academic performance the most.¡±


    ¡°What advice does the Daoist have? I¡¯m all ears.


    The representatives of the Daoist Academy basically guessed the meaning of the Red Robed Daoist¡¯s words, but no one dared to expose it. As a junior, Bian Yiqing could only respond with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Strength lies in numbers. Although the Four Great Dao Academies have profound foundations, the lowest number of new students over the past thirty years would not affect the overall situation of Dance Tool Dao Academy. However, if we could slightly lower the admission criteria and recruit promising students like Chen Mobai, we might even net a Real Path Seed capable of influencing the future state of the immortal door.¡±


    The meaning of the Red Robed Daoist was clear. If Chen Mobai wins, the Dance Tool Dao Academy should lower the admission score slightly to accept this


    Magic Duel winner.


    ¡°Is¡­ the Daoist going to use his quota to admit him?


    Bian Yiqing asked cautiously. If the Red Robed Daoist were to use this privilege, not only him, but even the dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy would have to agree.


    ¡°Not exactly, even though I believe that this kid will undoubtedly become an extraordinary figure in the future, I¡¯m still somewhat reluctant to waste this quota on him.¡±


    The Red Robed Daoist shook his head, Bian Yiqing understood his meaning.


    He wanted to get Chen Mobai into Dance Tool Dao Academy while keeping his hands clean.


    ¡°I think the Daoist¡¯s words make sense, but I¡¯m afraid that if I set a precedent,


    it might affect the other cave heavens and blessed lands.¡±


    Bian Yiqing cautiously started.


    The four Great Dao Academies have an unspoken agreement. Although the immortal door requires them to be open to all, they still strictly implement high-standard entrance examinations to ensure that all of the students that enter the four academies are exceptionally talented Dao seedlings.


    If Bian Yiqing lowers the admission score for Dance Tool Dao Academy in Red Sandstone City, the students from the other cave heavens and blessed lands naturally could also demand their representatives to lower the threshold.


    Such a consequence was what Bian Yiqing could not bear.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the immortal Gate requesting you four to lower the threshold this year, so that at least one student from each cave heaven and blessed land is admitted? You could completely push the blame onto the three major halls of the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Bian Yiqing did not dare to accept the words of the Red Robed Daoist, not everyone dared to make the Immortal Gate take the blame.


    ¡°Let me ask for instructions.¡±


    In the end, Bian Yiqing was persuaded by the Red Robed Daoist.


    Originally, he had decided not to admit Chen Mobai even if he won the championship, but now for this matter, he immediately compiled the admission test situation of Red Sandstone City into a document on the spot and sent it to the current admissions director of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I also think that the Daoist¡¯s words make sense. If Brother Bian feels troubled, why not leave this child to us at Kunpeng Daoist Institute?¡±


    Just then, Lan Haitian, who had been listening all along, suddenly spoke. His words shocked everyone.


    ¡°You¡­ what do you mean?¡±


    The representative of Repairing Heaven Institute was a little slow to react, wasn¡¯t it you who said it was a good excuse not to recruit a student?


    ¡°This kid and I have some destiny. Plus, his talent in Magic Duel is indeed outstanding. With some cultivation, he might become another me.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words were of high praise.


    He was hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment person in immortal Gate. Although his probability of achieving Core Formation might not be as high as Yan Qiongzhi, in terms of Magic Duel alone, he was undoubtedly the strongest.


    If Chen Mobai could really display his invincible prowess in battle, it would indeed be an exception.


    After all, although the Immortal Gate is peaceful, there were wars to open up territories every once in a while. The talented Magic Duelist was absolutely indispensable to protect the students of the academy.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    The representative of Repairing Heaven Institute hesitated.


    Shang Qjng from Jumang Daoist Academy remained calm. She already had a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had no interest in Magic Duel talents.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s finally starting.¡±


    At this time, the representative of Pure Yang Academy broke the silence.


    On the stage, after Chen Mobai and Yang Jing agreed to duel using only spells, the final Magic Duel began.


    An Ice Breath spewed out.


    Chen Mobai waved his long sleeve, a splash of clear water droplets flew out, then froze into ice needles that covered Yang Jing¡¯s entire body like a shower of flowers, and like a horde of bullets.


    Thud thud thud!


    A clear sound of rain hitting banana leaves echoed, all the ice needles missed Yang Jing¡¯s body by a hair¡¯s breadth, outlining her figure on the stage behind her.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised, he was certain that his Divine Sense had aimed accurately, this kind of human body outline situation should not have occurred.


    At this moment, Yang Jing made her move too. Her right hand raised, a wisp of pitch-black smoke rose from her palm, turning into several small black knives, which shot towards Chen Mobai.


    Splash!


    The Water Elemental Shield reacted and blocked the four black knives.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense suddenly fluctuated, a vein emerged on his forehead, and his face changed slightly as he moved to the right.


    ¡°Swish!¡±


    A black knife grazed his cheek, leaving a small wound from which blood seeped out.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had been injured since he participated in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Is it an illusion? Or did you manipulate the light?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Touching the wound on his cheek, Chen Mobai recalled the situation just now, if it were not for his breakthrough in Divine Sense, he might have already lost. However, Yang Jing didn¡¯t reply at all.


    She smirked, her right hand clenched, and a puff of black smoke was produced from her palm. It condensed into a pitch-black long sword, nearly two meters long and two fingers wide.


    In an instant, she seemed to stretch through half the stage and appeared right in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    When Chen Mobai noticed, the pitch-black long sword was already at his throat..

 Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Winning the Championship 1

    Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Winning the Championship 1


    Translator: 549690339                   r¡ª


    Just as Yang Jing¡¯s pitch-black longsword neared Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, a ripple of water spread out and instantly transformed into a massive water wall separating the two.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The longsword plunged into the water wall, causing an explosive splash!


    ¡°All your methods, I¡¯ve seen through them in this seven-round magic duel. Other than your Purple Blaze Sword Aura talisman, I have ways to break everything else.¡±


    The pitch-black longsword spiraled and shattered the water wall, hurtling straight towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Crack!


    But at that moment, the shattered water wall froze into ice spikes under the influence of Ice Breath, blocking all space between the two from all directions. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of ice spikes being shattered by the pitch-black longsword resounded throughout the arena. Yang Jing, appearing like a bolt of black lightning, breached all obstructions and attacked Chen Mobai¡¯s right shoulder. Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense exploded in its entirety, tracking his opponent¡¯s movements, his right hand covered in dark water which rapidly froze into an Ice Claw, catching the pitch-black longsword that was aimed at his shoulder in the nick of time.


    However, at this moment, black smoke rose from Yang Jing¡¯s other hand and transformed into a short stick, striking straight at Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    The Water Elemental Shield was activated again, blocking the black short stick from Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense rippled again, veins bulging in his forehead, as he quickly expanded the range of the Water Elemental Shield to cover his entire upper body.


    A massive force hit him in the waist and sent him flying into the air.


    What I saw really was different from reality.¡±


    Chen Mobai replayed their brief one-minute encounter in his mind, seeking traces of Yang Jing¡¯s cultivation technique.


    Firstly, his vision would deviate at critical moments.


    Secondly, the black smoke should be a medium similar to Xuan Ice Change, freely shifting in form, possibly a specifically refined ¡°gas.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai sensed a greater source of spiritual power within her. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, Yang Jing held her sword again, as the short stick in her hand morphed under her control into four black small daggers, aimed at Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Her illusions cannot bewilder the divine sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai found some loopholes in Yang Jing¡¯s cultivation techniques, but he hadn¡¯t reached Foundation Establishment and hence could not leave his body through divine sense.


    ¡°Fortunately, my divine sense can accompany spiritual power into controllable spiritual bodies. Let¡¯s try this.¡±


    With a thought, Chen Mobai activated the Propulsion Technique, moving erratically.


    All the black daggers aimed at him missed.


    As expected, despite Yang Jing¡¯s ability to confuse his vision, she could only resort to close combat when faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s unpredictable movements.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai swung his hands and all the dark water under his divine sense control converted into slender spikes of ice that shot out in a large radius.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless, what you are seeing is not the real me.¡±


    Yang Jing¡¯s voice sounded three meters to the left from where Chen Mobai saw her. However, in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of him, wielding her pitch-black longsword.


    But just as she was about to strike, her eyes widened in surprise. Her body reacted as if harmed, retreating explosively in the opposite direction.


    Just a reminder, the same trick doesn¡¯t work on me.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood in the same spot, watching Yang Jing clutching her stomach wound with a light laugh.


    ¡°You can¡¯t possibly see my real body.¡±


    Yang Jing, her brow furrowed, pulled out the ice spike that had nearly gone through her abdomen.


    ¡°Do you know, the scariest on the battlefield are rookie gunmen because even they don¡¯t know where their bullets will end up.¡±


    ¡°Just now, even I didn¡¯t know where some of those ice spikes were going to end up.¡±


    ¡°Lucky strike, I managed to hit you once.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he covered the area on his waist where Yang Jing had struck him with a short stick. Although the Ice Armor had provided some protection, the force still made its way into his body, causing some pain.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have such luck next time.¡±


    Yang Jing raised her head and, all of a sudden, vanished from the dueling platform.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly. The wide-range ice spike attack he had just used was extremely draining on his Spiritual Power. He could only use it two more times at most.


    However, luckily, after this probing attack, he had thought of a solution to break the illusions.


    ¡°Over here!¡±


    A Water Elemental Shield materialized in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s left side, blocking a pitch-black long sword that suddenly pierced out from the void.


    Yang Jing widened her eyes in disbelief, yet shortly after, she once again disappeared into the void.


    Swish!


    Chen Mobai turned his head to the right rear, the Water Elemental Shield moved to this side, blocking the pitch-black long sword yet again.


    Boom boom boom boom!


    Yang Jmg¡¯s silhouette appeared everywhere as if omnipresent, but every time she attacked, Chen Mobai predicted and blocked her attacks beforehand with the Water Elemental Shield.


    Drip!


    A droplet of sweat slid off Yang Jing¡¯s chin, landing on the dueling platform, making a faint noise. To her ears, however, it sounded like thunder.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡±


    Looking up at Chen Mobai¡¯s surroundings, she finally noticed droplets of transparent water floating around him within a two-meter range, leaving no dead angle.


    Every time she attempted to attack, she had to approach Chen Mobai, but as soon as she came closer, she would touch the water droplets suspended in the air. Chen Mobai, who controlled these droplets, could then detect her moves.


    No wonder her clothes felt much wetter.


    Danger!


    But by the time Yang Jing realized, it was already too late.


    An intense chill burst from her body surface, soon followed by a layer of white frost covering her entire body.


    Chen Mobai raised his right hand, several dozen water droplets forming an icicle, guided by his Divine Sense, shot towards the now frozen Yang Jing¡¯s chest.


    ¡°I still have one last strike!¡±


    As the acute pain from her chest hit, in her completely frozen state, Yang Jing¡¯s eyes suddenly emitted an eerie glow, meeting Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    Divine Sense Attack!


    Chen Mobai felt a severe headache.


    He didn¡¯t expect Yang Jing to perform a divine sense attack without reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, his diligent practice of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique was now coming into play.


    As soon as a strand of Yang Jing¡¯s divine sense rushed into his sea of consciousness, it was blocked by the two budding leaves of his contemplation.


    Chen Mobai staggered slightly but quickly regained his balance.


    ¡°Why is his Divine Sense so steady? Could it be that he didn¡¯t practice with the Mind Incense?¡±

    It was the last thought that crossed Yang Jing¡¯s mind before she passed out due to the backlash of her Divine Sense attack.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Mobai looked at the unconscious Yang Jing lying on the dueling platform with furrowed brows.


    A worthy opponent!


    At that moment, the referee, a teacher, stepped onto the stage. He first checked on the fallen Yang Jing, and then walked up to Chen Mobai, announcing the final result.


    Congratulations, you are the champion of the magic duel!¡±

    Even though Chen Mobai had predicted that he might come out victorious, truly accomplishing it still gave him an indescribable feeling.


    Satisfaction, excitement, happiness¡­


    All of those emotions welled up in him and ultimately took the form of a sense of accomplishment!


    ¡°Chen, you¡¯re awesome!¡±


    Below the stage, his classmates from the fifth high school gathered around, led by Lu Hongsheng. But this time, Chen Mobai was prepared and didn¡¯t let them lift him up.


    As his group of friends celebrated, Chen Mobai noticed his school¡¯s principal and another middle-aged cultivator, who didn¡¯t seem too pleased, approaching the man in the red robe. The other man was likely the principal of Yang Jing¡¯s school.


    After a while, Principal He Jingshan approached with a wide grin.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, you¡¯ve brought honor to our school this time.¡±


    ¡°I just did what I had to do.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, I will hang a banner commemorating your victory in the Magic Duel at the school entrance.¡±


    Amidst He Jingshan¡¯s laughter, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed.


    It was too showy.


    At that moment, he noticed Kong Feichen and Qing Nu approaching the stage.


    The latter made eye contact with him and then picked up the unconscious Yang Jing.        B


    ¡°That¡¯s strange.¡±


    Nmg Anning, who had gone offstage at the end of the Magic Duel, had just finished his diagnosis and was frowning as he withdrew his two fingers from Yan Jing¡¯s wrist.


    ¡°Are you her family members?¡±


    He hesitated a bit, glancing at Kong Feichen and Qing Nu, unsure of how to proceed.


    ¡°Mr. Ning, if she is admitted to the Imperial Medical Academy, can her condition be cured?¡±


    Qing Nu, knowing Yang Jing¡¯s condition, nodded and asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to her.¡±


    After Ning Anning gave his diagnosis and instructed Qing Nu on dietary restrictions and recovery methods, he turned and walked toward Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Are you feeling alright?¡±


    ¡°No significant problems.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai assured him, Ning Anning still took his pulse and checked his wounds, just to be safe.


    These are just superficial wounds, rest for a week and you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Once Ning Anning had confirmed his diagnosis, Chen Mobai followed He Jingshan to meet the man in the red robe.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    ¡°As the top student in Red Sandstone City, it would reflect poorly on me if you don¡¯t get into one of the four major Daoist Academies. But unfortunately, there¡¯s no way for you to get into Jumang or Bu Tian. Would you be willing to change your aspirations for the sake of Kunpeng or Dance Tool, for my sake?¡± The man in the red robe was very straightforward; after congratulating Chen Mobai on his victory, he gave him a huge surprise.


    ¡°Absolutely willing!¡±


    The prospect of getting into any of the four major Daoist Academies had his family¡¯s ancestors turning in their graves with excitement, there was no room for Chen Mobai to be picky.


    However, he had not anticipated that two of the academies would actually be willing to admit him.


    ¡°Very well, then. Would you prefer Kunpeng Daoist Institute, or Dance Tool Dao Academy? Why not hear what the representatives from each Academy have to say first?¡±


    The man in the red robe pointed to Lan Haitian and Bian Yiqing standing beside him and handed over the stage to them.


    ¡°You¡¯ve demonstrated talent in Magic Duels, and the spells you used were primarily water attributed.¡±


    ¡°If you were to enter Kunpeng Daoist Institute, you could train in the art of Kun Essence, a supreme technique second only to the Six Imperial Scriptures.¡± ¡°Once you¡¯ve achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, we still have some Kun Essence Blood in our institute. Consuming it in conjunction with the Kun Essence Technique could increase your chances of attaining Foundation Establishment by ten percent.¡±


    Lan Haitian set out his terms with a smile, which surprised Chen Mobai.


    To his mind, being able to enter a Daoist Academy was dignified enough! Did his performance truly stand out, garnering the attention of delegates from all four major Daoist Academies, or did Lan Haitian have other motives?


    ¡°In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we also possess some spiritual objects that aid in Foundation Establishment. But, like the Kun Essence Blood, they need to be exchanged using academic points.¡±


    As soon as Bian Yiqing started speaking, he pointed out what Lan Haitian failed to mention in his proposition. Apparently, the Kun Essence Blood wasn¡¯t free, but needed to be exchanged using academic points.


    ¡°As for the cultivation techniques, due to my humble realm, I won¡¯t give you any guidance. If you join our academy, you can ask the Core Formation professors after school begins.¡±


    After saying this, Bian Yiqing glanced at the man in the red robe, indicating to Chen Mobai that he too was a teacher of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, Chen Mobai completely missed the meaning behind his glance. Right now, he was completely immersed in his joy, initially thinking that his score was insufficient and he couldn¡¯t get into his desired academy.


    But after his victory in the Magic Duel, his performance had impressed the representatives of two academies.


    Should he go to Kunpeng Daoist institute or Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    If it had been earlier, he would have definitely chosen Kunpeng Daoist institute, given its claim as the best among immortals and its highly-qualified teaching staff.


    But after his late-night conversation with Qing Nu, he understood his own pursuit.


    ¡°I want to go to Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    Chen Mobai announced his choice without hesitation.


    His choice took Bian Yiqing by surprise.


    Given a choice between Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Dance Tool Dao


    Academy, most students would opt for Kunpeng.


    He didn¡¯t expect Chen Mobai to choose his academy, and that too with such firm conviction and without any hesitation.


    ¡°Oh, you won¡¯t reconsider? There¡¯s no hurry; after all, this decision will influence the rest of your life. We can give you a few days to think it over.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head at the man in red robe¡¯s suggestion.


    He had thoroughly thought this through!


    This was his path!


    His first choice was Dance Tool Dao Academy, followed by Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Very well, let¡¯s settle it then.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s determined gaze, the man in the red robe clapped his hands in joy. He then motioned for He Jingshan to retrieve Chen Mobai¡¯s previous application form and make necessary amendments.


    After the application was completed, he handed it over to Bian Yiqing.


    ¡± What a pity.¡±


    Lan Haitian sighed regretfully.


    ¡°May I ask why you didn¡¯t choose Kunpeng Daoist institute? Was it because of the misunderstanding between us earlier?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Actually, he didn¡¯t have any issues with Lan Haitian, but he obviously couldn¡¯t mention his plan to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll in public. In the end, he chose a suitable yet hasty reason.


    ¡°The reason I was able to cultivate my divine sense is because I listened to a piece by the Bian family, known as the ¡®Spring Festival Banquet¡¯. I can be considered as a half-disciple of the Bian family, and naturally, I would choose Dance Tool Dao academy under similar circumstances.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Bian Yiqing was at a loss for a moment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, he looked at Chen Mobai more closely.


    Because he had performed all over the thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed places with the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, he had seen a vast number of audiences, and initially, he didn¡¯t recall Chen Mobai.


    But after hearing what Chen Mobai said, his memory of the event was clear as day, thanks to his Core Formation divine sense. After all, in these years, he had only performed once in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Good boy, respecting the masters and their teachings.¡±


    The man in the red robe nodded satisfactorily after hearing this..

 Chapter 133 - Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Green Mountain Village_l

    Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Green Mountain Village_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After returning home.


    Chen Mobai was tightly embraced by the emotionally overwhelmed and tearful


    Tang Panchui.


    Chen Xinglan was also back home, standing there with her eyes slightly red, watching the mother and son hugging each other.


    They initially wanted to go to the scene to cheer him on, but Chen Mobai, citing his potential distraction, asked them and even his aunt and uncle¡¯s family not to come.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re truly awesome!¡±


    His cousin Wang Xinying shrieked and dashed over, plunging into Chen


    Mobai¡¯s arms.


    Her family had been there early, watching the whole magic duel on the living room TV.


    After Chen Mobai won, they seemed to have celebrated thoroughly, the living room was strewn with all sorts of party decorations.


    ¡°Come here, my nephew, let me have a good look at you, I really didn¡¯t expect


    it!¡±


    Uncle Wang Jianyuan came over, patted Chen Mobai¡¯s head, a look of awe on his face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget whose son he is.¡±


    Pride was written all over Chen Xinglan¡¯s face, and for once, the typically argumentative Wang Jianyuan didn¡¯t rebut.


    ¡°Your uncle will come over tomorrow evening, let¡¯s have a good celebration


    today.¡±


    The celebration went on for a full three days.


    After the family meal, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui invited their neighbours and friends over.


    After all, getting admitted into one of the four Great Dao Academies was a rare event in Red Sandstone City.


    The last one who got admitted was Yu Tianguang in his red robe, who had now reached Core Formation.


    Whether Chen Mobai could reach Core Formation after entering the Dance Tool Dao Academy remains to be seen, but Foundation Establishment should not pose any problems.


    After all, the Foundation Establishment success rate of students from the four Great Dao Academies is as high as 8o7o.


    After celebrating at home, Chen Mobai was summoned back to school.


    Representing the fifth high school, he faced more than a dozen reporters, beneath the banner hanging at the school gate that read, ¡°Warmly Celebrate our student Chen Mobai being accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡± He also posed for photos with He Jingshan and answered numerous questions. Initially, He Jingshan was worried that Chen Mobai, being young, would be overwhelmed facing such a large crowd.


    But Chen Mobai surprised him with his mature demeanour, answering reporters¡¯ questions skilfully, neither humble nor arrogant, displaying humility with intense self-confidence.


    Representing the school, there were other journalists from dozens of media outlets wanting to interview him.


    However, Chen Mobai rejected them all.


    He did not lose himself in the limelight, knowing perfectly well that in the world of cultivation, only realm is the reality.


    However, his home address was quickly discovered by the infamously keen paparazzi. Although they did not dare to barge in, their daily loitering still frustrated Chen Mobai.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to go to the Tianhe Realm.


    Perhaps there were reporters with the ability to detect his disappearance in the room.


    At first, Tang Panchui enjoyed flaunting the fact that her son had been admitted to one of the four Great Dao Academies.


    But after a while, she too started to grow annoyed.


    Chen Xinglan had already returned to Red Dawn Institution to continue her preparation for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°These guys really don¡¯t give people a moment¡¯s peace.


    After returning home in the evening, Chen Mobai and Tang Panchui found a camera pointed at them across the street while they were having dinner. The latter was understandably annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about these people.


    ¡°Mom, how about we go back to the village to stay with grandma and grandpa for some peace and quiet?¡±


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want to stay in Red Sandstone City, unable to meet his friends outside anymore.


    He could only stay home, cultivate, shop, prepare ink, and draw talismans every day.


    Though he had the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, so his cultivation progress hadn¡¯t slackened too much, he hadn¡¯t gone back to the Tianhe Realm in a month. He was unsure of the situation regarding the island surrounded by demonic beasts there.


    Even though everything was basically settled before he left, this was the place where Chen Mobai planned to make his fortune and collect Spirit Stones. He was just afraid of the unforeseen.


    But then he thought, if something unforeseen were to happen, his current cultivation level wouldn¡¯t be of much help.


    But he couldn¡¯t give up now, not after he had finally received an offer from the Divine Wood Sect.


    It so happened that every year during the holidays, he would go back to the countryside with Tang Panchui to visit their grandparents. This was a good opportunity for him to lay low in the mountains.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask the boss for time off now.¡±


    Tang Panchui had also had enough over the past few days. Both of them were action-takers; once they¡¯d decided, they immediately began packing their bags.


    That evening, they left Red Sandstone City.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai asked his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, to help them out. Wang Jianyuan drove them to the bus station, and before the reporters could react, they bought tickets and left.


    After the mother and son duo arrived at a suburban stop, a slightly tanned old man who had been waiting for them with a pipe in his mouth was already driving a pickup truck.


    As soon as the old man saw Chen Mobai getting off the bus, his eyes lit up and he rushed over to hug him.


    ¡°My precious grandson, you¡¯ve finally arrived!


    ¡°Dad, let¡¯s go quickly. I guess there are quite a few people following us.¡± Tang Panchui urged them to leave while stowing their luggage in the back of the pickup truck.


    ¡°Once we get to the mountains, let¡¯s see who dares to bother you.¡± The old man huffed dismissively, speaking with a dictatorial manner. His name was Tang Lu, he was the village head of Green Mountain Village, he was also Tang Panchui¡¯s father, and Chen Mobai learned officialdom from him. After alighting at this stop, they drove in a pickup truck for another three hours before arriving at a beautiful mountain village filled with terraced fields. ¡°Panchui, I heard your son got into Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Tang Panchui had already bragged to Tang Lu, and the latter was not good at keeping secrets. It seemed that the entire Green Mountain Village knew that Chen Mobai had been accepted into one of the Four Daoist Academies. Showboating in public, especially in the place where she grew up, immediately energized Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Auntie, long time no see. This matter, well, the bulk of the credit goes to me. If I didn¡¯t take him to the temple on the mountain to pray during the holidays, how could this rascal possibly have such good luck¡­


    After getting off the bus, Tang Panchui started chatting with an old lady in the village. Soon enough, a group of women got the news and came to see the genius prodigy rumored to be bom to Tang Panchui ¨C a fusion of the divine celestial scholars and warriors.


    Chen Mobai could only force a smile. Thankfully, Tang Lu called him to carry the luggage, and he quickly slipped away from the circle of women. The women didn¡¯t pursue, choosing instead to surround Tang Panchui, who was loudly bragging about her unique experiences in child-rearing. They looked on with envy.


    ¡°Grandma.¡±


    When he arrived at a house in the deepest part of Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai saw an old woman with silver hair waiting at the door and called out to her.


    ¡°Ah, my good grandson, you¡¯ve really made your grandma proud.¡± The woman hugged Chen Mobai tightly, a proud smile on her face.


    That night, the whole family gathered.


    In addition to his grandparents, there were also two uncles and aunts.

    After two or three days of celebration, Tang Panchui was thoroughly bathed in glory.


    ¡°Oh, right, tomorrow we¡¯re going to the temple on the mountain to fulfill our vows, so don¡¯t run around.¡±


    That day, as Chen Mobai was in the courtyard, mixing ink for drawing talismans with his pieced-together ink-making tool purchased online, Tang Panchui, who had just returned from an outing, suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Mhm, I know.¡±


    After replying, Chen Mobai glanced at the turtle shell resting on the stone table, which he had been using to press down on the talisman paper..

 Chapter 134 - Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Taixu Temple 1

    Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Taixu Temple 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Green Mountain Village is located to the east of the Taixu Mountain Range and has been dependent on fanning since its first inhabitants.


    The village lies at the foot of the mountains, with wave-like terraced fields cascading down the slopes.


    The terraces give way to a forest of lush trees further uphill.


    Passing through that forest and navigating over five more mountains, one comes across a squarely constructed temple.


    This temple is known as ¡°Taixu Temple,¡± situated by the mountain and near the water.


    Whenever something comes up, many villagers from all over the Taixu Mountain Range flock here to offer incense.


    Chen Mobai had obtained his turtle shell in this temple, and he had always wanted to return to investigate whether there were more hidden secrets behind this fortunate opportunity.


    Early in the morning, he and his mother climbed mountains and crossed ridges, bringing tributes to the Taixu Temple.


    But they found that white lanterns were hung under the eaves of this temple. ¡°Who has passed away?¡±


    Tang Panchui wiped the sweat from her forehead and said quietly to herself. Her cultivation level was average and crossing five mountains had already left her a bit exhausted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up his bag, calm and composed, and started to knock on the door while his mother took a rest.


    Soon, a junior cultivator opened the door.


    ¡°Greetings two donors, our firework elder passed away and became immortal last night. These days we are performing a ceremony and are not open for business, we apologize.¡±


    The junior monk showed his regret after listening to them.


    ¡°The dead should be respected.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, expressing understanding and was about to leave with Tang Panchui and come back another day.


    ¡°Since we¡¯ve come all this way, crossing over five mountains, let¡¯s offer some incense.¡±


    Tang Panchui made an casual suggestion.


    The junior cultivator hesitated for a moment, and after consulting the abbot, actually let them in.


    This Taixu Temple is neither big nor small.


    It is square, encircling an open courtyard in the middle.


    In the middle of the courtyard is a three-meter-long bronze urn filled with ashes of burned incense.


    Directly opposite the entrance is the main hall of the Taixu Temple, inside which is a Taixu True God statue of unknown origin. It is carried by a giant stone turtle. With a jade ruler in its left hand, the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams on its chest and brilliant galaxies on its sleeves, its face is dignified.


    Chen Mobai looked at the open right hand of the statue. Originally there was a turtle shell there, but now it was empty.


    ¡°Donors, please stop here.¡±


    After guiding them in, the junior monk pointed towards the white lanterns in the rear hall, indicating that it was the place of mourning and they shouldn¡¯t go there.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked him, and then donated 1888 Good Deed Points by scanning the QR code at the door with his phone.


    He¡¯s quite affluent now.


    He had twenty thousand Good Deed Points, converted from Shen Juanxiu¡¯s Ling Sha in his card. Also he had thirty thousand Good Deed Points from the bets on Qing Women, but since her card could only transfer 2,000 per day, Chen Mobai told her not to transfer it to him yet.


    Recently, he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water for the next three months. Chen Mobai asked Qing Women to use these Good Deed Points to buy medicinal ingredients and auxiliary materials to refine a different type of pill. Because all Spiritual Water pills have an expiration date and the ones just made have better effects when consumed.


    As for what pill to refine, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, so he let Qing Women choose the medicinal materials and practice on her own.


    Qing Women considered it and chose the Rank-i High Quality ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± after weighing the two factors.


    When there¡¯s enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, prioritizing the enhancement of Divine Sense is the best option.


    After all, to succeed in Foundation Establishment, you need to excel in psyche, qi, and spirit. Shortcomings in any of these aspects would spell failure. Among these elements, enhancing one¡¯s divine sense is the most difficult.


    Yet, in Red Sandstone City, there is the advantage of making local use of resources to refine the ¡°Fire Clearing Pill,¡± whose main ingredient is the paulownia flower and fruit of the Jade Wood Tree.


    Chen Mobai applauded her choice.


    However, among Rank-1 elixirs, this elixir is exceedingly precious. Refining one furnace of this elixir would cost 20,000 Good Deed Points.


    While Chen Mobai, who had just accrued a small amount of Good Deed Points, was pained by the cost, he reasoned that the Good Deed Points in Qing Nu¡¯s account were all gained from bets. If they could be converted into his power or used to enhance Qing Nu¡¯s level of alchemy, it would be well worth it.


    Moreover, if they could successfully refine the Fire Clearing Pill, the Immortal Gate¡¯s official price for it was 5,000 Good Deed Points per pill.


    A furnace could yield up to ten pills. With the spiritual extract provided by


    Chen Mobai, Qing Nu could quickly earn back their investment if she successfully refined the pills.


    Multitasking.


    Chen Mobai was thinking about Qing Nu while his hands were busy finishing lighting the incense. He also placed the offerings he brought from his bag one by one on the table before the idol.


    On the other side, the abbot of the temple came out from the back and began to chat with Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Is that so? I couldn¡¯t have imagined that among our Taixu Mountain People, a true dragon from the Four Great Daoist Academies could arise.¡±


    Upon hearing from Tang Panchui that Chen Mobai had been admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the abbot couldn¡¯t help but reveal a shocked expression, also accompanied by a sense of pride.


    ¡°We are indeed indebted to the incense here. We came here today to fulfill a vow. But since the temple is busy, we won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡± Seeing that Chen Mobai had put all the offerings like melons, fruits, and jujubes on the table, and that the incense had been lit, Tang Panchui smiled and said goodbye to the abbot.


    ¡°Would it be possible for you to leave a group photo?¡±


    The abbot was an old man with grey hair. He remembered Tang Panchui and Chen Mobai because over the years, there had only been issues with the mother and son during the incense offerings.


    He shamelessly asked Chen Mobai to take a photo with him, planning to use it later to promote the Taixu Temple. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t refuse.


    After the photo, Chen Mobai hesitated and finally decided not to ask about the turtle shell.


    ¡°Both of you, it¡¯s already noon. Please stay and have some vegetarian meals before leaving.¡±


    The abbot looked at the photo on his phone with satisfaction and had a junior cultivator guide the mother and son to have a vegetarian meal. He needed to go to the memorial hall to recite scriptures.


    ¡°Thank you, abbot.¡±


    Under the guidance of the junior cultivator, they headed to the eastern side-room, which was the cafeteria.


    The three of them chatted while eating.


    ¡°Do you know when this Taixu Temple was built?¡±


    ¡°It is said to have a long history. Anyway, when our ancestors settled in the


    Taixu Mountain Range, this temple was already here.¡±


    ¡°I sense that the spiritual energy in this temple is not bad.¡±


    ¡°Yes, there is a Rank-2 Spirit Vein in the Taixu Mountain Range. Although it has been subdued and collected by the Immortal Gate, if we apply to use it the spiritual energy transferred through the pipe from source to us will have less loss because of the proximity. So even though we only purchased intermediate grade Rank-t spiritual energy, it is actually very close to high-grade Rank-1.¡± Chen Mobai listened to the junior cultivator¡¯s explanation and measured the spiritual energy value with his phone. After he finished, Chen quietly nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Junior brother, the trash collecting Earth Master will be here soon. Quickly pack up Elder Liu Yanpei¡¯s relics. These things cannot be cremated in the temple, let them take it away.¡±


    At this moment, an older cultivator called to the junior from the doorway. The latter immediately put down his chopsticks.


    Please continue eating. I will go pack up Elder Liu¡¯s relics.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute, is the elder who passed away in your temple today named Liu Yanpei?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened, and he abruptly stopped the junior cultivator who was about to leave.


    ¡°Yes, do you know Elder Liu?¡±


    ¡°It seems that when I was young and came to the temple to burn incense, I saw him. He even gave me a candy to eat.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave an excuse, causing the junior cultivator to look confused.


    Elder Liu was a loner and never received worshippers..¡±

 Chapter 135 - Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Liu Yanpei’s Notes_l

    Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Liu Yanpei¡¯s Notes_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°But I¡¯ve only been in the temple for three years, perhaps elder Liu used to receive guests before.¡±


    The junior cultivator quickly found an excuse for Chen Mobai¡¯s words, easing the latter¡¯s worries.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I help you clean it up.¡±


    ¡°This ¡­ thank you, benefactor.¡±


    Having help is always welcome.


    Chen Mobai watched Tang Panchui eat, and alongside the junior cultivator, they decided to clean up the remains together.


    ¡°This Elder Liu, has he always been in your Taixu Temple?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Elder Liu was one of the most senior people in our Taixu Temple. He was regarded as an elder brother by our abbot, but he was a solitary man. Over the years, he has been taking care of the temple¡¯s miscellaneous items, and loves to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Often, he wouldn¡¯t come back for more than ten days.¡±


    As the two of them were talking, they arrived at Liu Yanpei¡¯s room. A simple bed, a table, a wardrobe, a storage cabinet and rows of bookshelves lined up around the room, filled with all kinds of books.


    There were books on the history of the Immortal Sect, laws, administrative policies, introductions to the Daoist Academy, and many books on Cultivation Techniques and Spell collections, even the method of Alchemy.


    ¡°Elder Liu was also our temple¡¯s doctor. He used to help us with the preparation of herbal medicines for common ailments like headaches and fevers. His treatments were truly effective.¡±


    While the junior cultivator spoke, he unfolded the blankets on the bed and placed them on the floor, then bundled up all the clothes, medicine jars, pots and pans and other items in the room, prepared to pack them all up and dispose of them at the garbage dump for the Earth Masters to collect.


    ¡°Do you want to keep these?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the nearly too books on the shelf, thinking that within, there might be some clues as to why this Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect of the Tianhe Realm had come to Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°No need, the abbot said to dispose of everything.¡±


    The junior cultivator glanced up while tidying the clothes and seeing that they were books, shook his head immediately.


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll help to collect these.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the mat on the bed, much like the junior cultivator did, and placed it on the floor, then removed each book one by one from the bookshelf.


    Using his divine sense to scan each book, he made sure there were no hidden pages or content before placing them on the mat.


    After about half an hour of tidying, he had finally finished sorting all the books, finding three to four empty notebooks.


    These notebooks were strange, although blank, many pages were folded, as if they were constantly flipped through and written on.


    Using his divine sense, he discovered a clue.


    These notebooks were written with a special ink that likely only became visible after being washed with a specific solution. Alternatively, using divine sense to observe the handwriting made it appear even clearer.


    ¡°What was Elder Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation level when he was alive?¡± ¡°Late-stage Qi Cultivation, I¡¯m not sure which layer specifically, but the abbot once said that among the people in Taixu Temple, Elder Liu had the highest cultivation level.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. The high priest had only reached the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. Liu Yanpei had used this method to hide his notes, so even if someone accidentally came into the temple, they wouldn¡¯t see what he¡¯d written.


    ¡°Just as well, I¡¯ve been making talismans recently and need some notebooks for drafting. Why don¡¯t you give these to me? I¡¯m willing to donate some more Good Deed Points to the temple.¡±


    ¡°Oh, no, you just take them as you need.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the junior cultivator hurriedly shook his head.


    They were just a few blank notebooks after all, not worth much.


    ¡°Where is your temple¡¯s garbage dump? I¡¯ll use a spell to help you take everything over.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai activated the Propulsion Technique, picked up the bundled up blankets and mat, and under the guidance of the junior cultivator, dumped all of it on an open area to the south outside the temple.


    ¡°Thank you, benefactor.¡±


    The junior cultivator was only at the third layer of Qi Cultivation. Without Chen Mobai¡¯s help, he would have needed to make two trips to dispose of everything.


    Now that everything was easily taken care of, he wore a satisfied smile. On the way back, Tang Panchui looked disgustedly at the notebooks in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    The belongings of the dead are thought to bring bad luck.


    Chen Mobai heard, rolled his eyes, and pretended not to hear.


    Upon returning to Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai sat on a recliner in the yard and began to decipher the invisible ink-written diary using his divine sense.


    [Received news from a junior disciple, Han Yuan¡¯s ancestor has passed away, and the Wood Vein and Metal Vein clans intend to rebel and split the sect. As a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, I will not allow this to happen.] [On the way, I encountered a senior from the Metal Vein clan. After the fight, although I managed to kill my opponent, I was severely injured. I had to look for a mountaintop with a hint of spiritual energy to recover.]


    [The mountain was nameless, but at the spirit vein center of the mountaintop, there was a Taixu Temple. I stepped into it to heal under the statue, but when I woke up, I found myself in an alien continent.]


    [According to the sect¡¯s legend, the Tianhe Realm was initially a vast ocean. After the Mother of Water Refines the Void, she created five continents and four seas. I never expected it to be true. I can¡¯t tell whether it is a blessing or a curse for me. Hopefully, the Cultivators on this alien continent are not from


    the Devil Sect.]


    At this point, Chen Mobai noticed that Liu Yanpei seemed to take a long time before continuing to write in his diary.


    And the next content, hastily written, hinted at the tremendous shock Liu Yanpei must have felt when he wrote these lines.


    [This place is not the Tianhe Realm, but an alien world called Di Yuan Star. The hundreds of millions of people here all possess a Spiritual Root and are all practicing immortal cultivation. Altogether, there are probably not as many Cultivators as those in the Tianhe realm. A sect called ¡®Immortal Gate¡¯ rules over this world. They even have two True Monarchs, who have achieved Divinity Transformation, and more than ten Nascent Souls. Could this be a celestial world?]


    After the above entry, he stopped for quite a while before adding new content.


    [I heard that the Immortal Gate sends troops every so often to wage expansion wars. We must not let them know the existence of the Tianhe Realm. Otherwise, Eastern Wilderness, as their entry point, will surely be destroyed by the strongest Five Elements Sect.]

    [I don¡¯t have an identity certificate, so I can only wander in rural outskirts. I dare not enter the reputed Thirty-Six Celestial Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands. I heard that in these celestial cities, there are Jindan elders.]


    Chen Mobai reached this point, which marked the end of a notebook. It described Liu Yanpei¡¯s astonishment at the Immortal Gate and his cautious inquiries about the various situations of the Immortal Gate on the outskirts of the city.


    Because he was undocumented, he wasn¡¯t even able to buy a phone or go online.


    After understanding the systems of the Immortal Gate and learning that there were two Jindan True People guarding the nearby Danxia City, he dared not seize it forcibly and had no choice but to retreat to the Taixu Mountain Range. Chen Mobai picked up the second notebook and finally discovered what happened after Liu Yanpei entered the Taixu Temple.


    [I heard that there is another Taixu Temple located in the mountains. It has become clear to me that my arrival in this world may be related to this temple and 1 must find a way to infiltrate it..]

    [Resources in this world are extremely scarce, even spirit stones are nonexistent.]


    [When I traveled through time, I had a few dozen spirit stones on me. Unfortunately, they were all exhausted in the wilderness as I tried to restore my cultivation level.]


    [However, even if I had kept them, I wouldn¡¯t dare to use them to exchange for Good Deed Points.]


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai could sense Liu Yanpei¡¯s helplessness between the lines.


    Being a stranger in a strange land, especially in a highly modernised society like the Xian Sect, where one couldn¡¯t even move a step without an ID card nor buy the spiritual energy needed for cultivation.


    [I pretended to be an amnesiac mountain man, I faked my age, fainted at the temple¡¯s doorway, was kindly taken in by the Master, and started to do odd jobs in the temple.]


    [Although the spiritual energy in this temple is meager, at least I can continue my cultivation. I meditated covertly under the statue every night. But even after a year, when I opened my eyes, I was still within the Xian Sect¡¯s territory. I searched all over the statue and the entire temple, found nothing mysterious. How can I return home?]


    [With my rank of Qi Cultivation 9th level, I am the strongest one in the temple. Simultaneously, I learned even more about the Xian Sect, this superpower, through this magical artifact, the internet.]


    [The Xian Sect has many teachings here, and one can even exchange for Divinity Transformation Art. Sadly, I don¡¯t have an ID card, so I cannot register for a national library account. However, even if all the Divinity Transformation techniques were presented before me, none would be as important as a single Foundation Building Pill.]


    [It¡¯s lamentable that I was close to accumulating enough Sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill. I wonder how things are going in the Tianhe Realm, how is the suppression of the rebellion there? Did my junior brothers and sisters survive the rebellion¡­]


    Chen Mobai finished reading the second diary, full of snippets about Liu Yanpei¡¯s exploration of the Xian Sect, his life in the temple, and longing for his Sect and hometown, recorded in a patchwork way.


    As the diary progressed the handwriting became more and more rushed, with the final page dominated by a single conviction, reading:


    [I must establish the Foundation!]


    Liu Yanpei had been lurking around in Taixu Temple for ten years and had a thorough understanding of the Xian Sect.


    He clearly understood that there were no Foundation Building Pills here, and the three herbs that substituted for the Foundation Building Pill were luxuries he, a rogue cultivator, could not afford or purchase.


    Seeing himself grow older by the day, and soon surpassing the age of 60, the peak of his prime, he could hold back no longer.


    He decided to risk everything in a desperate fight, and break through the Qi Cultivation Realm without the Foundation Building Pill.


    [I confided this to the Master, and he was very supportive, allowing me to go into seclusion in the great hall of the temple where the spiritual energy was most concentrated.]


    [I looked at a dozen accounts of successful Foundation Establishment in the Xian Sect, got to the step of Spiritual Power Liquification, but failed at the final step due to my inadequate Divine Sense; my spiritual power raged out of control, my meridians ruptured, and my attempt at Foundation Establishment failed. But in a sense, I also succeeded.]


    [My cultivation level fell to the 8th level of Qi Cultivation, but when I woke up,


    I suddenly found myself back in the Tianhe Realm.]


    Chen Mobai flipped open the third diary. The first line made his eyes widen in anticipation, and he plunged into the text.


    [This rich spiritual energy, this run-down little temple, undoubtedly, it¡¯s the place I was in before I traveled to the Elemental Star.]


    [I couldn¡¯t wait to return to the sect, but discovered that I had been expelled from the Five Elements Sect. The charge was fear of warfare and desertion, failing to respond to the sect¡¯s call to arms ten years ago. Even my junior brothers and sisters thought I did not want to share the sect¡¯s difficulties and considered me a disgrace. They even tried to kill me to purge me from the sect.]


    [Originally, I had fallen from the failure of Foundation Establishment and was still injured. Luckily, I had a Rank-2 Spirit Talisman to save my life. Besides, the sect was having a face-off with Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff and had no energy to care about an insignificant character like me. I narrowly escaped.]


    [I returned to Azure Waves Lake and felt my entire life was in darkness. I wanted to end it all but couldn¡¯t muster up the courage.]


    [Under the Rank-2 Spirit Vein of Azure Waves Lake, I spent a year recuperating from my injuries and once again broke through to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.]


    [However, after my breakthrough, I found myself back in the Taixu Temple on the Elemental Star.]


    [What on earth is going on!?]


    The third diary described Liu Yanpei¡¯s sorrow after his failure in Foundation Establishment, his surprise at returning to the Tianhe Realm, his despair upon being expelled from the sect and shunned by friends and family, and his disappointment at once again returning to the Elemental Star.


    [I think I understand. Perhaps every time I break through a cultivation level, I¡¯ll travel between the two realms. But what is the cause of this behavior?]


    [Nevermind, why think about this? After all, I won¡¯t be able to make any more breakthroughs. It¡¯s ideal that everybody turned their back on me in the Tianhe Realm; I might as well spend the rest of my life in this small temple.]


    [At least, the Master and the fellow disciples here never considered me a disgrace.]


    What followed was an account of Liu Yanpei¡¯s simple yet fulfilling life in the Taixu Temple on the Elemental Star.


    He wrote about the aging of the Master, the arrival of the younger disciple, the departure of his brothers and sisters, the expansion and renovation of the temple, and the admission of the next generation.


    Just like that, another decade passed.


    [The Master has passed away. My brothers and sisters have all returned. After the funeral, the four of us started discussing who would take his place.]


    [The eldest brother despised the mesriness here and didn¡¯t want to stay. The second sister always followed the eldest brother. In the end, only the younger disciple and I remained in the temple. The younger disciple wanted to leave, and I didn¡¯t want to be the Master.]


    [After much persuasion from me, the younger disciple reluctantly accepted the role of Master of this decrepit temple. Once approved by an official, he received his certificate of appointment.]


    Time flew in the diary, and before he knew it, thirty years had passed. Liu Yanpei eventually wrote about something familiar to Chen Mobai.


    [Today, a mother and son from Green Mountain Village came. They arrived early in the morning, wishing to offer incense and pray for success in the college entrance exams.]


    [When the kid was offering incense, I happened to be sweeping the main hall. I don¡¯t know what happened, maybe because I am old, I accidentally bumped into him.]


    [He stumbled. The incense in his hand was flung away. His hands flailed aimlessly in his loss of control. He touched the turtle shell held by the right hand of the Taixu statue, slicing open his palm and bleeding profusely.]


    [When the junior Master learned the truth from me, he sent me up the mountain to pick herbs for a while as he dealt with the angry woman.]


    [When I returned, I learned that the junior Master had compensated the mother and son with the turtle shell. It¡¯s odd, even though I¡¯m old, I still have good control over my body. How did I accidentally bump into the kid?]

    [Since then, I suddenly felt my condition deteriorating day by day. After calculation, I realized that I¡¯d been living on the Elemental Star for fifty years. As a Qi Practitioner, I should be able to live to 120 under normal circumstances. But considering my countless battles, multiple near-death experiences, and failure in Foundation Establishment in the Tianhe Realm, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t live past 100.]


    [On my deathbed, I suddenly became unwilling to accept my fate. I decided to try Foundation Establishment again during my life¡¯s final moments.]


    [Even if the success rate is less than 1%, I want to die trying.]


    The diary abruptly ends there.


    However, Chen Mobai already understood the tumultuous yet vacant life of Liu Yanpei..

 Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Return to Green Light Island l

    Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Return to Green Light Island l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai put down the notebook in his hand.


    His sentiments were far from calm.


    After some time, he solemnly stood up, and with closed fists, saluted in the direction of the Taixu Temple, as a gesture done in the Tianhe Realm.


    Although Liu Yanpei was a stranger to him, if Chen Mobai would achieve anything in the future, he would not forget this man¡¯s kindness.


    ¡°Did this turtle shell come from Tianhe Realm? Or was it originally on Di Yuan Star?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the turtle shell he had placed above his talisman paper. To anyone¡¯s eyes, it appeared to be an ordinary object devoid of any spiritual energy.


    Because of this, Liu Yanpei who had spent fifty years beside this treasure didn¡¯t realize that it was this very turtle shell responsible for his inter-realm travels.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t understand it, but one thing he was certain of was that the Taixu Temple was definitely not simple.


    Or perhaps, could the Taixu True God statue be the incarnation of a mighty being?


    However, learning from the experience of Liu Yanpei, Chen Mobai knew that if a treasure didn¡¯t want to reveal itself before you, even if you held onto it for decades, you wouldn¡¯t gain the opportunity.


    One¡¯s own strength is what ultimately matters in the end.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai picked up the last notebook of Liu Yanpei.


    What was recorded in it was not his journal entries, but his insights about the cultivation of the ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡± technique.


    Even though Liu Yanpei had purchased many cultivation techniques and laws from the Xiandor markets, he hadn¡¯t switched cultivation methods due to his solid foundation, instead always practicing this method of Qi Cultivation from the Five Elements Sect.


    After reading it all in one go, Chen Mobai harvested quite a bit from it.


    Even though he didn¡¯t switch to practicing ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±, he had almost mastered its corresponding spells. He believed that he had accomplished quite a bit, but compared to Liu Yanpei who had been immersed in it his whole life, he had barely scratched the surface.


    From Liu Yanpei¡¯s insights about the Blackwater system, Chen Mobai harvested greatly.


    If he were to fight Yang Jing again, he felt it would be much easier to win.


    However, these were not the greatest gains. In this notebook, it also recorded how to set up and break the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± prohibition technique.


    With this, when returning to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai would not need to use the Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman, and could easily open the remaining two side halls.


    He just didn¡¯t know what object Liu Yanpei left within.


    However, Liu Yanpei would never have thought that, decades later, Chen Mobai would inherit his turtle shell and Water Mansion.


    Maybe it was the will of the heavens, he had included the method of breaking the Ren Water Thunder Method prohibition in his notes.


    Chen Mobai had a look and saw that it required the use of ¡°Dark Water¡±. Fortunately, he had some. It was just that the method of breaking the prohibition required practice, which might take a while. Good thing he didn¡¯t have other matters to attend to, so he decided to start practicing.


    [It¡¯s time to go back to Tianhe Realm to have a look. If the siege of the demonic beasts has ended, I¡¯ll leave Green Light Island and make a trip back to the Water Mansion.]


    Chen Mobai decided to visit Tianhe Realm that night, after contemplating.


    After having dinner.


    He returned to his room, placed the turtle shell carefully under his pillow, and then took out his phone. After a long time, he clicked on the [Teleportation] function.


    The flashing silver light signaled his long-awaited return to the Tianhe Realm after a month.


    However, as soon as he returned, Chen Mobai sensed that something was amiss.


    The entrance to the tunnel he dug was blocked.


    His eyes changed, Chen Mobai readjusted his stance to battle mode, with the Array Flag Needle box in hand, he carefully moved the blocks of wood and clods of earth blocking the entrance bit by bit.


    About half an hour later, he finally saw daylight again.


    After waiting for some time and making sure it was safe, Chen Mobai poked his head out.


    Looking at his surroundings, a drastic change overtook his face.


    His wooden hut had collapsed, showing signs of being caught in the aftermath of some battle.


    That was probably why the entrance to the tunnel was blocked.


    Chen Mobai was even more careful now, after clearing the debris from the entrance, he scurried out to take a look outside.


    What awaited was an even more shocking sight.


    The wooden houses lining the island were largely collapsed and in ruins. The entire Green Light Island seemed to have been ravaged by a giant monster, the highest peak of the island was missing a huge chunk, as though bitten off.


    The once bustling streets were shattered and broken, the remnants and scars of the battle were still evident. He could see many incomplete bodies of demonic beasts, but there were no human bodies.


    Reaching a high place, he saw that several of the Array Flag Spirit Trees that should be in sight had been broken, and more, completely uprooted and turned into ash by the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and checked the remaining concentration of spiritual energy on the island, and discovered that it was only at 1 point.


    ¡°Just how dreadful was this battle?¡±


    When Chen Mobai was teaming up with Qi Rui, he had heard the latter say that as long as the spirit vein of Green Light Island remained intact, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation could continuously extract the spiritual energy from earth veins to protect the entire island.


    But now, it was abundantly clear that the spirit vein of the entire Green Light Island had been depleted in the intense battle.


    This act of depleting resources was something that even cultivators of the Tianhe Realm wouldn¡¯t resort to unless they were backed into a corner.


    After all, the spirit vein on Green Light Island had been cultivated by the Divine Wood Sect for several decades, consuming tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in the process. Unless it was a matter of life and death, they would not resort to these extreme measures.


    Chen Mobai used a Guidance Talisman. This talisman could guide him to the place with the most prosperous spiritual energy.


    He quietly followed it, arriving at the highest peak of Green Light Island. Looking around, he saw that the place had turned into charred earth.


    He arrived at what should have been the place of the last battle, where the teleportation array was located.


    Chen Mobai saw more horrific traces of the battle. The ground was strewn with ashes of used talismans, shattered magic artifacts, and empty potion bottles. The ground had turned dark red but there wasn¡¯t a single body.


    Approaching the collapsed teleportation array temple, blood had seeped out staining half of the mountain red.


    Grinding his teeth, Chen Mobai turned around and headed towards the west bank where his team had been posted.


    The Array Flag Spirit Tree had been broken, lost all its spiritual energy, and was lying dried up on the cliff.


    The signs of battle were also visible here. And it was here that Chen Mobai found the reason why there were no bodies.


    In the distant waters, dozens of Black Plague Birds with red eyes were floating on the water, feasting on the bodies of the cultivators.


    It seemed that after Green Light Island was breached, the demonic beasts swarmed in and treated the bodies of the cultivators as food.

    Who knows how many people managed to escape through the teleportation array?


    Were there any cultivators who had survived elsewhere on the island?


    Were the members of his team still alive?


    As these thoughts ran through his mind, Chen Mobai squatted down on the cliff, careful not to draw the attention of the group of Black Plague Birds.


    He didn¡¯t dare stay here too long. Using the Cleaning Technique, he removed all scents from his body, returned to his hand-dug hut via the original path, and after covering it up, he returned to Di Yuan Star with a heavy heart..

 Chapter 138 - Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Switching to the ‘Pure Yang

    Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Switching to the ¡®Pure Yang


    Scroll¡¯_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai was anxious about the safety of Qi Rui and the others in his heart, but unfortunately, communication in the Tianhe Realm was inconvenient, nothing like the Di Yuan star where he could just make a phone call to ask about them.


    However, his worry was useless, and all he could do was continue to strengthen himself.


    After consuming a dose of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he continued to refine his Spiritual Energy through the Five Elements Cultivation technique. A night passed, and with the growth of his spiritual power, Chen Mobai started contemplating about switching his cultivation to the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    The cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body should ideally start as early as possible.


    Luckily, he had ten Spirit Stones, which he could use to try cultivating the Body of One Yang.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare frivolously proceed with changing his cultivation technique on his own; it would be better to have guidance from an experienced teacher.


    pulling out his phone, he looked at his contact list.


    The two with the highest cultivation level were Lan Haitian from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Bian Yiqing from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, he didn¡¯t dare to call the former and could only contact Bian Yiqing, whom he had just added as a friend after their magic duel.


    ¡°Teacher Bian, I plan to switch my cultivation to¡­¡±


    After composing a long text about his situation and sending it, Chen MoBai waited for a response.


    A few minutes later, a message came back from Bian Yiqing.


    ¡°I practice the ¡®Dream-shattering Song¡¯, which can¡¯t provide any reference for you, but I can help you ask around.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a thankful expression, then continued making talisman, while waiting for a reply.


    He took out a stack of prepared, long strips of talisman paper, picked up the green bamboo pen given by Shen Juanxiu, dipped it in the simplest talisman ink he made, and started drawing talisman.


    Naturally, what he was drawing was the basic talisman that the Divine Wood Sect used to recruit Loose Cultivators, the Consciousness Talisman.


    When he set down the first stroke, he felt good.


    However, when he proceeded with the second stroke, he felt something wasn¡¯t right. But he could only grit his teeth and continue.


    After finishing, the talisman paper didn¡¯t show any spiritual energy.


    With a hopeful heart, Chen Mobai picked it up and tried to activate it by injecting spiritual power.


    There was a ¡°poof¡± sound.


    A puff of green smoke rose, and the talisman paper burned by itself without wind, turning into ashes.


    He had failed!


    Failure on the first try was normal.


    Chen Mobai thought so, his mood unaffected. He picked up the pen and ink again and began drawing on the second talisman paper¡­


    After failing repeatedly twelve times and used up all the talisman paper, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand started trembling slightly.


    His confidence, which he had slowly built up from being number one in the magic duel, was slightly shaken.


    Before drawing the talisman, he had gone over the process several times and clearly understood the order of strokes and writing. He thought that for such a basic Rank-1 lower-grade talisman, he should succeed at least once after trying a dozen times.


    But unexpectedly, he kept failing.


    Just as he was about to pick up another stack of talisman paper and aim to overcome this challenge through perseverance, his phone rang.


    Bian Yiqing had actually personally called him.


    ¡°You should go to the Cinnabarite Institute and look for a true person in red robes.¡±


    ¡°Is the true person going to personally give me guidance?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai excitedly asked.


    ¡°In my Dance Instruments Dao Academy, there is only one Junior Yang and he is in Core Formation who cultivates the Pure Yang Scroll. But he has been in seclusion for ten years now. Fortunately, the one in red robes is his junior. I mentioned your situation to him, he has a good impression of you, and he is willing to take out some time to guide you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Bian.¡±


    Chen Mobai was well aware that if it was himself who asked for guidance from the one in red robes, it would be impossible to even meet him.


    Definitely, Bian Yiqing reported Chen Mobai¡¯s situation to the Daoist Academy, and then the Daoist Academy relayed the information to the one in red robes, giving him this opportunity.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, just focus on cultivating your skills.¡±


    After the polite conversation, Bian Yiqing hung up the phone.


    He had left Red Sandstone City soon after the magic duel ended.


    Bian Yiqing had delayed a lot of time for the school entrance exam. His two apprentices from the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe had already toured two fairy cities and blessed lands after Red Sandstone City.


    However, now when Chen Mobai met Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan again, he had to call them his senior brother and sister.


    Although he was a bit reluctant to leave this peaceful countryside life, Chen MoBai eventually had to leave for his own path of cultivation.


    The next day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to his grandparents.


    Although the two old people were reluctant to let him go, they knew that the child¡¯s future wasn¡¯t here.


    Tang Panchui however, seemed a bit unresolved. During this time, she was the most popular woman in the village and many people sought her advice on cultivating their children to success.


    For the first time, she tasted what it was like to return home in glory. Although it was a halo from her son, she still enjoyed it a lot.


    On the day of departure, the two old people packed a large bag of mountain treasures and fruits for Chen Mobai.


    On the long journey to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai got off the bus outside the city. He needed to transfer to another bus to go to the Cinnabarite Institute.


    He also told Tang Panchui about it, who was surprised to hear that her son was going to be taught by an extraordinary Gold Core cultivator, and urged him to hurry up and not keep the extraordinary cultivator waiting.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the Cinnabarite Institute, a familiar person was already waiting for him.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Chan.¡±


    ¡°Get on.¡±


    Chan Si was riding a bicycle and patted the back seat.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but eventually got on the back seat of the bicycle in front of many surprised gazes at the school gate. He was then brought into the campus by Chan Si.


    ¡°Here we are.¡±


    In the grand office of the Cinnabarite Institute, a real man in red robes was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea, and greeted Chen Mobai as he walked in.


    ¡°Greetings, True Man.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, I heard you want to switch to cultivating the ¡¯Pure Yang Scroll¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I believe everyone should have a dream, and my dream is to Ascend to become Immortals.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right, that was your opponent¡¯s dream last time, why does your dream change every day?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t my dream of going to the Jumang Daoist Institute with my friends already fail? Besides, becoming the head of the immortal doors and Ascending to become Immortals are not contradictory. Rather, they complement each other. If I become an immortal, being the head of the immortal doors is as easy as I like.¡±


    ¡°You have a point.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the man in red robes nodded.


    Then he asked Chen Mobai about his understanding of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, there were thousands upon thousands of cultivators in the immortal doors, and after joining the Daoist Academy, many students were blinded by the name of the Way of God Transformation, and despite their mismatched spiritual root aptitude, they insisted on cultivating it. However, they didn¡¯t even manage to achieve the basic steps, and thus wasted the best years of their lives.


    Conversely, thanks to Yuan Yang¡¯s trailblazing, at least everyone could start with the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    Chen MoBai answered every question and saw no need to hide anything in the presence of an extraordinary cultivator. He fully disclosed his spiritual root aptitude and the reasons why he wanted to switch to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Although your chance of Ascending to become Immortals is less than one in ten thousand, since you have decided, I won¡¯t bother to discourage you. Moreover, given your spiritual root aptitude, if you want to attain Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body might be the best path.¡±


    The man in red robes¡¯ words left Chen Mobai speechless¡ªhis spiritual root was indeed lacking..

 Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Foundation Establishment

    Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Foundation Establishment


    Treasure Deductionl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Switching to ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ requires half a year. Speak to your family about it, you will likely stay here till you report to Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit excited. After all, this was a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s personal guidance, and it would last for half a year.


    In all of Red Sandstone City, who would get such treatment?


    It was probably because he impressed Master Red Robe during the Magic Duel and his choice of Dance Tool Dao Academy, otherwise, Master Red Robe probably wouldn¡¯t even bother, not even for Qing Nu.


    However, he soon realized that he was overthinking it.


    Master Red Robe only guided him for three days initially. After Chen Mobai completed his first thread of Five Elements Spirit Power transformation, the master disappeared.


    ¡°The Headmaster is very busy. But he did say if you encounter any difficulties, you can directly message him. He will respond if he thinks it¡¯s necessary.¡±


    In the school canteen, Chen Mobai was treating Chansi to a meal, who spoke while eating.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a pity. I thought I would receive guidance from Master Red Robe for half a year.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    ¡°You should be thankful. We¡¯ve been students for six years, and only took four lessons from the headmaster in total, probably less than a day.¡±


    Returning with some desserts, Shen Juanxiu heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words and responded with a certain sour envy,


    ¡°By the way, my admission letter has arrived. I can register as an official member of Building Foundation Treasure.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the subject, reaching for his phone.


    ¡°Really? Quick, quick, import my personal panel.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu was indeed distracted by Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    Chen Mobai had downloaded the Building Foundation Treasure app long ago, but he was always a regular member.


    To apply for Super Brain Computing Power and predict the success rate of foundation building, one has to be an official member.


    Aside from developers or Core Formation level cultivators¡¯ invitation codes, official membership could also be activated with a student ID from the four big Daoist Institutes or ten major academies.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s admission letter was electronic and sent directly to his phone by the official account of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Opening it caused a classic green background to pop up with black characters and a cute unfolding bamboo slip animation.


    Then appeared his photo and the content of his admission to the Academy, followed by his student ID number at the end.


    Chen Mobai copied it and entered it into the Building Foundation Treasure activation sequence.


    After a quick refresh, his profile picture was now framed with red.


    ¡°This red frame symbolizes the Dance Tool Dao Academy. A gold frame means it was activated by a Golden Core cultivator¡¯s invitation¡­¡±


    Shen Juanxiu had thoroughly researched the Building Foundation Treasure App and excitedly guided Chen Mobai to import his personal panel.


    Her practice was the Golden Ring Skill, and although her cultivation had dropped to Qi Cultivation level 8 due to a failed Foundation Establishment, she hadn¡¯t yet recovered. Nevertheless, she filled in Qi Cultivation level 9 perfection on Chen Mobai¡¯s personal panel information.


    Then they clicked ¡®next¡¯, which prompted a new interface.


    [Please select supplementary spiritual items for Foundation Establishment]


    ¡°Choose all three Foundation Establishment treasures. Although I don¡¯t have them yet, I will surely have them before I build my foundation.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu spoke with confidence when she said this.


    Chen Mobai nodded and selected Vein Protection Pill, Spirit Ascension Powder, and Solidifying Qi Liquid.


    ¡°Also, add Kun Essence Blood and Profound Fire Spirit Liquid.¡±


    Chen Mobai was astounded to hear this. He hadn¡¯t anticipated Shen Juanxiu would have a connection to acquire these things.


    The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid was an item used by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to assist in Foundation Establishment. Consuming it expands and nurtures the meridians, increasing the odds of successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I actually don¡¯t have them, but the Building Foundation Treasure app gives us this one chance. I want to fill in every item that can raise my foundation building success rate to see how high my success rate can be.¡±


    When Shen Juanxiu said those words, she seemed slightly less confident probably because she had failed in Foundation Establishment once.


    By using Building Foundation Treasure, she intended to boost her confidence.


    Chen Mobai nodded and manually filled in these two spiritual objects.


    Then move on to the next step.


    [Which attempt at Foundation Establishment is this?]


    Eh, why is there such an option?


    Chen Mobai and the two women looked at each other. After Shen Juanxiu nodded, they chose [Second Time],


    Next step.


    [Which step did the first Foundation Establishment reach? One: Change Tendons and Wash Marrow; Two: Condensing Qi into Liquid; Three: Divine Consciousness Leaving Body]


    Shen Juanxiu hesitatingly chose the first. She couldn¡¯t lie about this, lest it affect the accuracy of the supercomputer¡¯s extrapolation.


    Continue to the next step.


    [What rank is the Spirit Vein used for Foundation Establishment?]


    [Rank-3, Intermediate-grade.]


    Shen Juanxiu is wealthy, so this is the highest grade spirit vein that Cinnabarite Institute can provide for its students.


    [Please confirm whether all the information above is correct?]


    Finally, at the last step, Chen Mobai placed his mobile phone on the dining table and let Shen Juanxiu check everything again one last time. After confirming that there were no issues, he took a deep breath and clicked [Confirm],


    Then suddenly, a red popup window appeared!


    [The user ¡®If I Were the Blue Emperor in the Future¡¯ backend data does not match the character on the data panel, do you want to continue with the extrapolation? After this time, you need to wait for two years before you can queue up to use this software again.]


    Shen Juanxiu immediately looked nervously at Chen Mobai, who was taken aback, not expecting this software to also have backend validation.


    However, he had already accepted the payment, and the green bamboo pen was also used several times, so there was absolutely no reason to go back on his word.


    [Yes]!


    He extended his finger and clicked the button.


    Shen Juanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked even more nervously at the rotating animation on the Foundation Treasure screen.


    About two minutes later, a huge percentage number appeared before their eyes.


    [Foundation Establishment Success Rate: 39%!]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    Despite applying so many conditions, the success rate was still less than fifty percent.


    He felt a little awkward, but noticed that Shen Juanxiu looked ecstatic, as if she was extremely happy with this number.


    ¡°Professor Chen, does this success rate of 39% looks pretty good to you?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, somewhat confused.


    ¡°Without using any Foundation Building spiritual objects, the success rate of Foundation Establishment at the 9th level of Qi Cultivation is one in a hundred, which is 1%. You can imagine how high a success rate of 39% is.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu guided Chen Mobai to click on the detailed calculation of the Foundation Treasure.


    [A complete set of the Three Great Foundation Treasures increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10¡ã/o]


    [A bottle of Kun Essence Blood, its efficacy overlaps with the Three Great Foundation Treasures, the success rate of Foundation Establishment increases by 6%]


    [A portion of Profound Fire Spiritual Liquid, its efficacy overlaps with the Vein Protection Pill, and conflicts with the user¡¯s Gold Ring Cultivation, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 3%]


    [At the perfect stage of the 9th level of Qi Cultivation, the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow step has already been completed in the first attempt, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 12%]


    [Rank-3, Intermediate-grade Spirit Vein, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 8%]

    After reading this, Shen Juanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but her face showed some struggle.


    Among these, she couldn¡¯t get ¡°Kun Essence Blood¡± and ¡°Profound Fire Spirit Liquid¡±. In other words, her actual success rate for Foundation Establishment was only 30%.


    But even so, she was already very satisfied.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was thinking about the Foundation Building Pill from the Tianhe Realm.


    It seems that a single Foundation Building Pill can offer a success rate of 30% for Foundation Establishment!

 Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The White Jade Bell i

    Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The White Jade Bell i


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Thank you for giving me this opportunity for inference.¡±


    Shen Jianxiu repeatedly expressed her gratitude. After getting the result of the Foundation Establishment treasure, she could finally calm her worries.


    ¡°Not at all, I also got what I wanted.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Perhaps to others, the opportunity to infer a Foundation Establishment treasure was invaluable, but to him, it was just a matter of delegation.


    After chatting for a while, they parted ways.


    Lately, Chen Mobai was busy transforming his Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power. Usually, he stayed in isolation within the cave dwelling he had rented during his previous magic duel. He had re-leased it for another six months.


    The ¡®Pure Yang Scroll,¡¯ indeed one of the seven Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques of the immortal world, produced a much purer spiritual power than the Five Elements Cultivation, and its operation routes were also more complicated.


    It was during this time that Chen Mobai realized that changing cultivation techniques was even more challenging than rebuilding them from scratch.


    If you were to start anew, you could calmly transition to a new method after dissipating your spiritual powers.


    However, transforming the spiritual power cultivated by one technique into another involved harnessing much more effort and a firmer understanding of the respective techniques, compared to re-cultivating them.


    If it weren¡¯t for the crimson-robed real-person supervising him and teaching him how to accomplish the transformation of the first wisp of spiritual power, Chen Mobai would probably have burnt up months with his talent and comprehension. Moreover, he could possibly face irreversible problems due to a distorted understanding of the techniques.


    After completing the first transformation of the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ spiritual power, Chen Mobai overcame the most challenging beginning. The rest was only a test of patience.


    Thanks to the Immortal School allowing all students to cultivate the Five Elements Cultivation, which had balanced and neutral spiritual power, it could be transitioned into any other technique without obstructions. Otherwise, Chen Mobai could only restart his cultivation or continue with Five Elements Cultivation as his only path if he wished to cultivate the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯.¡¯


    But if that were the case, Chen Mobai would definitely walk this path to the end and exclusively cultivate Five Elements Cultivation.


    Worse comes to worst, he would follow in the footsteps of Qing Ping and come out victorious through superior realms.


    One night, after completing the spiritual power transformation, Chen Mobai, equipped with a newly purchased batch of talismans, once again transported himself to the Tianhe Realm using the Turtle Treasure.


    Only after using the Spirit Seeking Talisman to ensure there were no demonic beasts nearby did Chen Mobai cautiously lift the lid of the cave opening.


    Upon stepping out, he sighed at the sight of the still and silent Green Light Island under the starry sky.


    Unsure if the Black Plague Birds would come to forage at night, Chen Mobai carefully produced three talismans and placed them on himself. They concealed his aura, hid his body, and allowed him to float.


    Last time, he only visited two places ¨C the Green Light Island center and the spot where his old team had guarded a Spirit Tree.


    Despite the large scale of Green Light Island and the havoc wreaked by demonic beasts, there must be some fortunate survivors, he thought.


    Chen Mobai wanted to know what exactly had transpired.


    Hovering, he set off from an abandoned wooden hut like a floating cloud, heading first for the Green Light Island center, which housed the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Teleportation Array.


    All along the way, countless broken and shattered magic artifacts lay scattered.


    Without a storage bag, it was a pity that all these items couldn¡¯t be transported back to Earth. Even if he sold them to the Earth Masters who recycled scrap, it would still amount to a considerable number of Good Deed Points.


    If he had the right connections with Artifact Refiners, these broken artifacts could indeed be melted down and reprocessed.


    Over the past century, prices for all raw materials in the Immortal World, whether precious metals or gemstones, had skyrocketed.


    However, the origin of these broken artifacts seemed suspicious, and to avoid exposure, Chen Mobai abandoned the idea of collecting scraps.


    Reluctantly, he traveled all the way from the ruined marketplace at the bottom of the island to the teleportation hall at the top, picking and choosing, gathering, and discarding. But all the artifacts were utterly ruined, devoid of spiritual light.


    Just as he was about to give up and head towards the hall, a piece of red string caked with mud in a crevice between Qing Shi stones caught his attention.


    He reached his hand out, pinching the end of the string and tugged lightly.


    Ding Ling Ling!


    The crisp and pleasant sound of the bell calmed Chen Mobai¡¯s anxious heart.


    A faint, creamy-white jade-like luster caught his eye.


    It was a pair of exquisite bells made of white jade, strung together on a red thread writhed into multiple strands.


    Chen Mobai immediately played a Quiet Talisman, fearing the bell¡¯s sound might draw the attention of the Black Plague Bird, while also hiding in a secluded spot.


    Although this was the center of the island, far away from the reefs where the demonic beasts resided, the bell¡¯s sound absolutely couldn¡¯t reach there.


    However, it was better to be save rather than sorry. These Black Plague Birds inherently controlled swift winds, what if the vibrations from the bell¡¯s sound was captured by some creature out of the ordinary?


    Thinking of this, the always cautious Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate anymore.


    He returned the way he came, back in his burrow, and hit the [Return to City] button.


    There was a flicker of silver light.


    Holding the white jade bell in his hand, Chen Mobai had returned to his cave dwelling within the Cinnabarite Institute.


    He used the Cleaning Technique, and instantly the bell stained with mud regained its luster, shiny and transparent.


    The red thread stringing it was especially vibrant under the contrast of the white jade color, as red as if it was on fire.


    As a boy, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but fondle this exquisite magic artifact.


    He lightly shook it, and the two bells instantly emitted clear, pleasing, and suppressively annoying sounds, making him extremely uncomfortable.


    ¡°It seems that the two bells serve different purposes. One should soothe the mind, and the other might cause irritation.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to infuse spiritual power into them for a test. What if the power of this magic artifact surpassed his imagination and left his senses damaged?


    He had to find a professional.


    He took out his phone, took a dozen photos from all angles of the jade bells, and sent them to Wu Wan.


    The next day.


    Wu Wan showed up at the Cinnabarite Institute in person.


    ¡°Master Wu, why did you come here personally?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very surprised when he opened the door to see him.


    ¡°Now that Brother Chen is a disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, your status is unlike the past. It¡¯s my honor that you¡¯d think of me. I couldn¡¯t possibly keep you waiting.¡±


    The way Wu Wan carried himself now was completely different, which made Chen Mobai feel a bit uncomfortable.


    ¡°Please, let¡¯s keep things as they were before. You make me uncomfortable like this.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately welcomed Wu Wan in, took the white jade bells from beside his pillow, and casually passed them across the table to him.


    ¡°Body like white grease, radiance within blue.¡±


    Wu Wan first visually inspected it, gave his evaluation of the jade¡¯s color and luster, then geared gloves to finally dare take it and observe closely.


    After a while, he exclaimed and gave another four-word comment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°White, transparent, fine, moist.¡±


    Seeing Wu Wan¡¯s unprecedented expression, Chen Mobai knew this magic artifact might be extraordinary. He must¡¯ve hit the jackpot.


    ¡°Master Wu, how do you grade the quality of these bells, to what level can you appraise?¡±


    Now that he was rich, Chen Mobai naturally hoped Wu Wan could thoroughly appraise these bells, preferably reverse engineer the refining and usage methods, so he can truly master them.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this magic artifact¡¯s raw material should be Rank-2 ¡®Flowing Water Jade¡¯, but the refiner¡¯s skills were subpar, only reaching high-quality Rank-1. What a waste..¡±

 Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Symbols Complete_l

    Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Symbols Complete_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I am a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser in the world of cultivation after all. Although this white jade bell is a bit unconventional, as long as it is within the Rank-1 range, completing the third level of appraisal should not be a problem.¡±


    Wu Wan confidently spoke up, seeing him not asking about the history of this Magic Artifact, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°However, the price may be a little expensive.¡±


    Speaking of this, Wu Wan seemed afraid that Chen Mobai would misunderstand, and immediately explained.


    ¡°Because it involves a Magic Artifact related to sound, I have to research some material, and perhaps consult a senior in the industry. I will definitely need to give a little token of appreciation. But don¡¯t worry, Chen, it won¡¯t exceed 8000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Speaking of sound, Chen Mobai thought of Bian Yiqing, a master in this field. However, he definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to have this Magic Artifact evaluated by Bian Yiqing.


    Wu Wan has been cooperative for many times, even though at first his impression wasn¡¯t ideal, at least in the later times, Chen Mobai was pretty satisfied.


    But the appraisal fee of 8000 Good Deed Points still made him feel a little expensive, even though Chen Mobai now had more than a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in his account.


    But thinking about it as spending 8000 Good Deed Points to buy this top-quality Rank-1 bell Magic Artifact, he felt much better.


    ¡°As long as Master Wu can complete the third level of appraisal, we¡¯ll proceed with your pricing.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sign a standard contract first.¡±


    The third level of appraisal, which involves backtracking the process of offering sacrifices and usage, can¡¯t be completed in a short time.


    Wu Wan needed to take the white jade bell back, he might also need to use some special equipment.


    The cultivation world has standard contracts to handle such situations, to prevent Treasure Appraisers from being greedy when they see precious Magic Artifacts, either disappearing after taking it away or forging a replica to replace it.


    Chen Mobai was sure that Wu Wan would not do such a thing, not because he knew his character well, but because once such an incident occurred, a Treasure Appraiser¡¯s registration certificate would be directly revoked.


    Although the white jade bell might be valuable, it definitely could not compare to the Rank-i Treasure Appraiser certificate that Wu Wan had worked so hard to obtain.


    Even if his gold shop went bankrupt, with this certificate, Wu Wan would be in demand by numerous Artifact Refining shops if he decided to work, easily earning ten thousand Good Deed Points a month.


    After both of them signed the contract, Wu Wan stamped his Professional Seal on it, attached a photo of the Magic Artifact, and then uploaded the standard contract to the network of the cultivation world for backup.


    ¡°A maximum of ten days.¡±


    After receiving the deposit paid by Chen Mobai, Wu Wan patted his chest to assure him.


    ¡°By the way, Chen, are you free at noon? I have invited Luan Jingsheng for lunch, why don¡¯t you join us?¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was the Cinnabarite Institute student who sold the Five Phases Umbrella to Chen Mobai last time. He was also a customer of Wu Wan. Wu Wan received a good percentage from that business deal. Since he was here, it was natural for him to maintain their relationship.


    ¡°Sounds good, I have some questions about talismans that I want to ask a master.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to decline, but he remembered his recent experience of constantly failing in drawing talismans. He thought that he shouldn¡¯t just blindly rush ahead in his learning.


    He had also asked Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, but the former focused all his energy on formations, and the latter was only thinking about Foundation Establishment. Although she knew a bit about talismans, she couldn¡¯t provide much help to Chen Mobai.


    The former student council president of the Cinnabarite Institute was a master in drawing talismans, but Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all. Chan Si wanted to introduce them, but the former is a reclusive cultivator. Since the entrance examination ended, he hadn¡¯t left his Cave Dwelling.


    Since Luan Jingsheng could refine a talismanic artifact like the Five Phases Umbrella, it indicated that his expertise in talismans should not be low.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about him, and if Wu Wan hadn¡¯t mentioned it today, he would have missed an opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable person in Cinnabarite Institute.


    ¡°Oh, with your talent, you actually failed repeatedly. It must be a very complex and difficult talisman, right?¡±


    In a small restaurant in the campus of the Cinnabarite Institute, Luan Jingsheng was quite surprised to see Chen Mobai come over with Wu Wan.


    During the last finals of the entrance examination, although he did not go to watch it, he easily found out about Chen Mobai, praised by the True Man in Red as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, from the trending posts in the friend circle afterwards.


    Being able to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies, he could basically be regarded as a True Cultivator who will Establish the Foundation. If his future development goes smoothly, there is a chance to become the next True Man in Red, returning to his hometown in glory.


    Therefore, to have a genius like Chen Mobai come to him for advice on drawing talismans, Luan Jingsheng was somewhat surprised.


    ¡°Not at all. I only have some talent in magic duels, I have not even entered the threshold of the way of talismans, I still need your teachings, Brother Luan.¡± After Chen Mobai agreed to pay for the meal, Luan Jingsheng generously took Chen Mobai to a large classroom in the Cinnabarite Institute that specialized in teaching talisman drawing.


    Having saved a meal¡¯s expense and eaten for free, Wu Wan left with a happy smile, he was still busy with the appraisal of the white jade bell.


    ¡°Show me by drawing one.¡±


    Chen Mobai obediently set up his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, then began to draw.


    After completion, he infused it with spiritual power.


    With a ¡°pu¡± sound, it failed again.


    Chen Mobai, with an awkward expression, looked at Luan Jingsheng, but Luan Jingsheng was thinking carefully. He looked at the method of drawing the Consciousness Talisman provided by Chen Mobai, then picked up his brush to draw it himself.


    Halfway through the drawing, Luan Jingsheng paused.


    Then he continued to draw, but the final product also failed.


    However, Luan Jingsheng¡¯s expression did not change. He took another piece of talisman paper, then picked up the brush and began again.


    This time, he finished in one go without any pause.


    Chen Mobai looked at him admiringly, he knew without trying that this Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit weird.¡±


    However, after completing the drawing, Luan Jingsheng furrowed his brows slightly.


    ¡°What¡¯s weird, isn¡¯t it successful?¡±


    ¡°The change of stroke here is too sharp, when there is a better way to make the transition.¡±


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s incredulous gaze, Luan Jingsheng dipped his brush again and started drawing another Consciousness Talisman. He adjusted the transition of the brushstroke in the place where he had previously paused, making it rounder and simpler.


    ¡°Drawing like this feels much better.¡±


    The modified version of the Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn, Luan Jingsheng nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°Try drawing using this changed version of mine.¡±


    Chen Mobai respectfully nodded, then took the final version of the Consciousness Talisman drawn by Luan Jingsheng and started copying.


    But he failed twice more.


    However, having someone guiding and exploring it oneself are two completely different things, similar to when he transferred to the Pure Yang Scroll, the True Man in Red gave him guidance. On the third attempt, seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s stiff technique, Luan Jingsheng couldn¡¯t help but directly hold his wrist to let him feel the correct stroke.

    He was successful this time.


    Chen Mobai showed a delighted expression.


    Although he failed again immediately after, he finally managed to complete the drawing of the Consciousness Talisman successfully on his own in the next attempt.


    He took up the talisman he drew, infused it with spiritual power to activate it, and felt the spiritual power consumed in drawing the talisman slowly recover, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain his joy.


    He finally succeeded!

 Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Brass Ring 1

    Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Brass Ring 1


    Translator: 549690339 |     ¡ã


    Chen Mobai felt exceptionally pleased after successfully drawing his first talisman in his life.


    Riding on the wave of success, he went on to draw ten more, failing three times but succeeding seven times.


    Just as he prepared to continue solidifying his ability, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.


    Drawing talismans may not deplete much spiritual power, but it severely exhausts one¡¯s mental energy. One must not overstep one¡¯s limits and should strike a balance between work and rest.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng, who was standing by, stopped Chen Mobai from continuing his drawing and explained the reason for this.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused. Seeing that it was getting late, he and Luan Jingsheng went out for dinner.


    After returning to his cave dwelling, instead of continuing to explore the Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm, he had a good night¡¯s rest with the help of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.


    The next morning, with the dawn of the rising sun, he resumed transforming his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai had already completed nearly half of the Five Elements Cultivation power transformation. His Divine Sense in operation, the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian Qi Sea had split into two.


    Following the route for qi cultivation in the Pure Yang Scroll, he gathered the concentrated Spiritual Energy that was refined after ingesting the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water into the smaller vortex of his Spiritual Power. Only then did Chen Mobai slowly open his eyes.


    After finishing his training, he noticed there was still plenty of time left.


    He took out his ink, brush, paper and ink stone and began drawing the Consciousness Talisman again.


    A night of rest coupled with half a day¡¯s cultivation left him in an optimal state, and his first three attempts were all successful.


    However, during his fourth attempt, due to the negligence of not soaking enough Talisman ink, the strokes became lighter towards the end, leading to a failure.


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai was not perturbed by this.


    Feeling like he already mastered the art of drawing this Talisman, he dipped the ink again and successfully drew another one. He then put down his green bamboo pen.


    Drawing talismans requires a great deal of mental energy, and after drawing five consecutively, he started to feel tired.


    After lunch¡­


    He meditated to restore his spirit, closed the gate, took out his mobile phone and teleported to the Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm once again.


    The spoils from acquiring the white jade bell stirred a strong motivation within Chen Mobai to seek more treasures.


    He felt that there should still be many intact Magic Artifacts scattered around the Green Light Island. Last time, he came during the night to avoid detection and hence had a limited field of vision. This time, he decided to teleport there during broad daylight.


    Upon exiting the cave¡­


    Chen Mobai used three talismans to conceal his figure. Then he retraced his previous search route again, and spent the entire afternoon meticulously scouring the half-collapsed Fang Market. However, he didn¡¯t have the same luck as before.


    He found nothing.


    The mam issue was that too many wooden buildings in the market had collapsed, and he dared not make a big fuss.


    The sound of moving planks and rocks might draw the attention of the Black Plague Birds.


    He could visit this place countless times and take his time searching. Even though it was slow, he could cover the entire area eventually.


    As the sun was about to set, Chen Mobai arrived at the location where the Shenmu Sect¡¯s Teleportation Array was previously situated.


    The battle here was sure to have been the most intense.


    The ground was still a dark red color, and above it was the gnawed-off mountaintop ¨C the origin of Green Light Island¡¯s Spirit Vein, a Rank-3 Spirit Vein that the Divine Wood Sect had cultivated using tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.


    Regrettably, it was now gone, and it was unclear whether the Divine Wood Sect had drained the Spirit Vein using the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation or if it was destroyed by powerful demonic beasts that invaded the island.


    Chen Mobai scoured the area around the ruinous Spirit Vein, which resembled a gaping crater or volcano.


    Here, he made another discovery.


    A dull golden glow flickered amidst the mud, catching his eye.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    His gaze shifted, falling on the inside of the pit, as he closely inspected that hint of golden shimmer.


    It was only thanks to it being daytime, the golden light from the setting sun fell on that object, causing it to twinkle with a subtle glow that Chen Mobai happened to notice as he came back around.


    You could say he was incredibly lucky.


    But, as a precaution, he dared not step into the pit.


    But he didn¡¯t have any rope in his backpack either, so how could he retrieve that object?


    Perhaps he should come back tomorrow?


    After pondering for a while, Chen Mobai slapped his forehead, opening his needle box which he hadn¡¯t used for a long time.


    A row of flying needles levitated, under the control of magnetism, crisscrossing into a palm-sized rack, flying into the mud where the glow was located, scooping up the object, and finally delivering it to his gaze.


    The Cleaning Technique was cast, and the mud fell, revealing the golden sheen in its true form.


    It was a brass ring.


    The workmanship was very simple, one could even call it a little crude. It was simply cast into a ring that could be slipped onto a finger. There were many scratches on the outer surface, and he didn¡¯t know if they were always there or made later.


    The inside of the brass ring was quite smooth though..


    Chen Mobai extended a finger and pressed on it. Although it was metal, it was not very hard and felt comfortable to touch.


    However, he dared not wear it.


    Who knew what the purpose of this brass ring was, it might even be used for suppression.


    He dared not inject spiritual power to try its effects either.


    It would be best to bring it back for Wu Wan to appraise.


    He hoped Wu Wan would not ask where this magic artifact came from


    However, after Wu Wan¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure, his actions fit


    Chen Mobai¡¯s intentions pretty well.


    But this could not continue, as he could foresee that he would obtain many magic artifacts in the Tianhe Realm in the future. Even if Wu Wan were tight-lipped, he risked being exposed with every additional person who knew.


    Should he find another treasure appraiser to appraise this brass ring?


    Or should he take the time to learn treasure appraisal knowledge for himself?


    After tucking the brass ring into the pocket of his jacket, a thought suddenly flashed in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    But soon, he shook his head.


    He still hasn¡¯t mastered the talisman, how could he possibly distract himself to learn about treasure appraisal and artifact refining.


    After being accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his main goal was to enter the Divine Wood Sect, obtain the Foundation Building Pill, and the ¡°Dual Phase Cultivation¡± that could increase the success rate of Core Formation.


    After that, before the sky completely darkened, Chen Mobai took another round around the pit. But it seemed his luck had run out, as he didn¡¯t find any more intact magic artifacts.


    After returning, he texted Wu Wan, asking for an update about appraising the white jade bell. The latter seemed to be busy and only replied half an hour later.


    He said it was more difficult than expected, as the refining method was very unique.


    Chen Mobai knew it might be because the refining method in the Tianhe Realm was different from the immortal world, so he was understanding and told him to take it slow.


    However, in this case, Wu Wan definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to appraise the brass ring in the meantime.

    For now, let¡¯s focus on the white jade bell.


    A month went by.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s life was simple, everyday at the Cinnabarite Institute he would practice Qi cultivation, draw talismans, and painstakingly travel to Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm for treasures.


    But apart from a green handkerchief with embroidery, he had no other gains.


    His progress in drawing talismans was also not substantial, only to ask Luan Jingsheng for help again. The latter carefully examined the remaining four Life Talisman of the Divine Wood Sect, but discovered something that greatly surprised Chen Mobai..

 Chapter 143 - Chapter 143: Chapter 143 – Tactics l

    Chapter 143: Chapter 143 ¨C Tactics l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Where did you learn these talisman drawing methods?¡±


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit uneasy when he saw Luan Jingsheng looking a bit serious, suspecting that he might have realized these talismans were not from the Immortal sects.


    ¡°I noticed something off about that ¡®Consciousness Talisman¡¯ you showed me earlier. It could have been drawn in a much simpler manner, but instead, it has many unnecessary turns in its strokes. I thought the teaching materials that you obtained may have been misprinted.¡±


    ¡°But now looking at this set of four talismans, each one has a stroke altered. They are not altered wrongly, just that the changes made would greatly increase the failure rate, making it harder for those who try to learn from these materials.¡±


    ¡°For me, as a Rank-1 Talisman Maker, I could still force it out with my foundational knowledge. However, for beginners, if they were to follow this set of materials, they would likely need at least a year or more to master.¡±


    After hearing Luan Jingsheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was stunned.


    He thought about his laborious efforts in practicing every day back in Green Mountain Village but couldn¡¯t successfully draw even a single talisman. He used to think he had no talent in this, which had caused a blow to his self-confidence.


    He didn¡¯t expect it would turn out like this.


    The book ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± he obtained from Southstream Market had been meddled with. The five methods for drawing the Life Talismans within were all altered somewhat. Not only would it waste the time of loose cultivators studying it, it might even shake the confidence of some loose cultivators in joining Divine Wood Sect.


    He didn¡¯t know if Lu Shu, who gave him the book initially, knew about it.


    If he did, that would signify Chen Mobai was quite naive for not realizing he was a real villain, smiling on the surface but carrying a knife behind it.


    Instinctively, Chen Mobai believed that Lu Shu didn¡¯t know, he was probably fooled as well.


    Then, remembering the intrigues amongst loose cultivators in Tianhe Realm, he felt maybe he had misjudged people.


    With a multitude of thoughts, Chen Mobai finally calmed down using the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Luan. The book on these talisman drawing techniques, I got it from a street stall. I was quite attracted by its archaic style and thought I got a bargain, who could have imagined¡­¡±¡±


    Chen Mobai dared not tell Luan Jingsheng the truth and could only sigh, improvising a convincing reason.


    ¡°I will try to redraw them, correcting the strokes for you. Come find me tomorrow.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was also a straightforward person. Since Chen Mobai sought his help, he was more than willing to lend a hand.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai could only express his gratitude again, and treated him to a meal.


    ¡°You should buy official teaching materials if you wish to study talisman-making.¡±


    ¡°I still have ¡®The Primordial Three Talisman Books¡¯ published by the Cinnabarite Institute. I can give them to you if needed.¡±


    ¡°As for these nameless products at the street stalls with no publication number, try to purchase fewer of such. They usually are counterfeits, meant to scam students who think they could find a treasure.¡±


    After several previous interactions, Luan Jingsheng treated Chen Mobai as a friend, and freely gave him advice during the meal.


    ¡°What Brother Luan said makes sense, I will not buy such things in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, his face hesitant. In the end, he couldn¡¯t resist and also handed over the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman notes given by Qi Rui, asking Luan Jingsheng to vet them for him.


    He simply couldn¡¯t trust cultivators from Tianhe Realm too much.


    ¡°Actually, the reason why I trusted that stall owner was that I did find something valuable.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman¡¯ that I used during the magic duel, which crossed against the ¡®Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡¯, I bought it from that stall. It even came with a drawing tutorial.¡±


    ¡°Could you help me to check this as well and see if there are any issues?¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was surprised to hear this. He had seen the spectacular scene of the ¡®Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡¯ and the ¡®Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman¡¯ matching up against each other on social media.


    However, he never thought that Chen Mobai had found it at a stall.


    His casually nonchalant attitude immediately became more serious as he picked up his phone to look at the screenshots of the drawing notes for the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman that Chen Mobai sent over.


    ¡°Based on the strokes alone, this rank-1 superior talisman doesn¡¯t seem to have the abruptness as the previous five. But whether it truly has no problems, I will only know after trying to draw it.¡±


    ¡°However, my skills are limited. I have only succeeded with three rank-1 superior talismans. If I want to learn this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, I reckon I will need at least a month of full focus.¡±


    ¡°If it is not urgent for you, I can try drawing it for you once I finish refining my current talisman..¡±


    Chen Mobai declined immediately upon hearing this.


    ¡°How can I burden you for such a long time? With my current level, to learn to draw this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, I would need at least one or two years of fundamental practice. I can slowly explore it by myself then.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luan Jingsheng also nodded in agreement.


    Being a dual cultivator of talisman and artifact refining, he focused more on artifact refining.


    To completely master and practice this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman would indeed be a waste of time for him.


    The next day, Chen Mobai made a personal visit and collected the remaining four Life Talismans with corrected strokes from Luan Jingsheng. He even painstakingly drew out a sample for each, for Chen Mobai to refer to in case he didn¡¯t understand.


    Chen Mobai was deeply moved, but since it was inappropriate to reward him with Good Deed Points, he could only give him two vials of rank-1 superior Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Luan Jingsheng initially refused, but eventually accepted after much persuasion.


    When Chen Mobai left, Luan Jingsheng gave him his annotated ¡°Primordial Three Talisman Books¡±.¡±


    With the correct samples for reference,


    The standard of Chen Mobai in talisman making made considerable progress, managing to successfully draw all the five basic Life Talismans of the Divine Wood Sect within just ten days.


    He finally realized his talent in talisman making was actually not bad. The multiple failures in the past were solely due to being misled by the incorrect teaching materials.


    It was only fair to say that the situation in Tianhe Realm was too complex, and he was too naive.


    Having experienced this, Chen Mobai finally understood why the stores set up by major sects in the markets of Tianhe Realm sold their products at such high prices.


    At least, they guaranteed that their products were correct.

    If you bought cheaper cultivation techniques of the same name at the stalls, they might be the snares of those with ulterior motives, deliberately changed to harm loose cultivators.


    Tianhe Realm was indeed fraught with danger at every turn.


    Chen Mobai learned his lesson the hard way, but he was also grateful everything was not too late. Otherwise, he might have been tricked into practicing the ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±.


    Just when he was getting ready to go to Green Light Island to look for treasures again, Wu Wan came over with excitement radiating from his face.


    The sacrificial refining method for the ¡°White Jade Bell¡± had been figured out..

 Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Subdue God, Bewilder God_l

    Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Subdue God, Bewilder God_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Wu Wan had been busy identifying this pair of white jade bells all this time.


    With the help of professional equipment and consulting industry experts, he finally completed all the identification work yesterday.


    ¡°As expected, here.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the identification certificate from Wu Wan. When he opened it, he discovered that it was accompanied by more than a dozen sheets of paper.


    In addition to the raw materials, refining methods, usage years, and intactness of the white jade bells written on them, they also included the most critical rituals and usage methods.


    ¡°This pair of jade bells has different functions, one for Subduing God and one


    for Bewildering God.¡±


    ¡°The Subdue God function is more than just suppressing the mind to keep it in the most stable state, it also allows the user to better control the rapidly increasing Divine Sense within a short period.¡±


    ¡°As for Bewilder God, it makes those who hear the bell sound confused and irritated. If a cultivator with a low cultivation level hears it while meditating or cultivating Qi, it could even cause them to lose control and go mad.


    ¡°Of course, it appears that these bells have been overused. Although they look intact on the surface, under a microscope you can still see some cracks. Therefore, these two functions might have a limit, and it would be best not to exceed the Qi Cultivation level.¡±


    After Wu Wan gave a detailed introduction, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t wait to use the ritual method he had deduced to inject his spiritual power into the white jade bells.


    After a simple ritual, he activated the bells¡¯ functions.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    First there was ¡°Bewilder God¡±. The moment Chen Mobai heard the sound of the bell, he felt a feeling of nausea and dizziness.


    ¡°Amazing.¡±


    Keep in mind that although he was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, his Divine Sense was extremely stable, so stable that even Yang Jing¡¯s lethal move could not shake him. Yet just a single magic artifact made him feel overwhelmed.


    No wonder cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, no matter how low their cultivation level, equip themselves with a magic artifact.


    The gap in combat power between those with and without a magic artifact, especially at the Qi Cultivating Realm, is just too vast.


    Ding Dong!


    Chen Mobai then activated the ¡°Subdue God¡± bell. Immediately, both he and Wu Wan recovered from their dizziness. Their spirits were even more robust than before. It was as if they were refreshed after a deep sleep, their spirit was better


    than ever.


    ¡°Very good, better than I expected.¡±


    After playing with the beautiful and useful white jade bells which he couldn¡¯t put down, Chen Mobai satisfiedly paid Wu Wan the remaining appraisal fee. ¡°Master Wu, I have two more artifacts here that I need to trouble you with.¡± In the end, Chen Mobai brought out the brass ring and the blue handkerchief with a pattern he picked up from Green Light Island, and gave them to Wu Wan for appraisal.


    Faced with these, Wu Wan was initially taken aback, but quickly his face lit up with delight.


    This month, just these three contracts alone would earn him as much as he usually made in a quarter. This was because he didn¡¯t work at any major refineries and mainly worked by himself. Before, it was not common for him to get the job of appraising magic artifacts in a month.


    He put on gloves and took the blue handkerchief with a pattern from Chen Mobai.


    Unfolding the handkerchief, he found a slightly crude brass ring inside.


    After looking carefully, the blue handkerchief was not bad, just a Rank-1 intermediate-grade defensive magic artifact. Its power was probably the equivalent of a Wood Armor Talisman, but it could be reused.


    If Wu Wan was willing, he could appraise this blue handkerchief on the spot.


    However, this brass ring was a bit of a stumper for him.


    ¡°This material seems to be red copper mixed with other metals and smelted. Looking at the technique, it should be an ancient forging craftsmanship, not modern elemental blending. It may need to be tested with the particle determination machine at the Red Dawn Institution to determine all material proportions.¡±


    When Wu Wan said this, Chen Mobai was a bit worried.


    The origins of this item were a bit off to begin with. If it were taken to the laboratory at the Red Dawn Institution for material element testing, wouldn¡¯t it be possible that the material not found in the Immortal World could be exposed?


    ¡°If we don¡¯t test the materials, can we assess the third level and deduce the ritual and usage method of this artifact?¡±


    He asked and Wu Wan was mildly surprised, but since it was the client¡¯s request, he didn¡¯t say much and simply nodded.


    ¡°Usually, third-level assessment requires a material ratio report, but if you don¡¯t care about it, I won¡¯t pry any further. Compared to this, the ritual and usage method is relatively straightforward.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s settled. I¡¯m in a hurry to use these two artifacts, how soon can you finish the appraisal?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s say ten days. This handkerchief is not challenging, and there¡¯s only one ring. It will definitely be faster than the white jade bells.¡±


    Hearing Wu Wan¡¯s confident words, Chen Mobai nodded and directly sent the deposit to him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go print the contract at the school gate. I didn¡¯t expect to pick up two more jobs coming over here, and I didn¡¯t prepare.


    Wu Wan first drafted an electronic version and let Chen Mobai check if there were any issues. Initially, Chen Mobai thought about not signing a contract since he was a bit concerned about leaving traces of artifacts from the Tianhe Realm here in the Immortal World.


    But after careful consideration, with a plethora of cultivators filled with strange ideas in the Immortal World and countless strange artifacts made for gaining attention on video websites, he just presented three normal artifacts. There¡¯s no need to be so apprehensive.


    Moreover, if he didn¡¯t sign a contract with Wu Wan, given his shrewd nature, he could guess that there¡¯s something wrong with the origins of these artifacts.


    It¡¯s better to follow the regular process.


    It avoids any suspicion.


    After signing the contract, they called Luan Jingsheng over and the three of them had dinner together.


    After that, Chen Mobai returned to his cave dwelling and focused on transferring to the Pure Yang Scroll and drawing symbols.


    The blue handkerchief was quickly appraised, and as expected, it was for defense. It didn¡¯t even need a special ritual or method of use, just inject the spiritual power, and it would turn into a blue square shield.


    The area depended on the user¡¯s spiritual power, at its maximum, it could cover the entire person.

    But the brass ring was a bit troublesome. Wu Wan underestimated this artifact, and it wasn¡¯t until a half-month later, with dark circles under his eyes, that he completed the third-tier appraisal.


    This was an artifact for condensing Sword Qi, quite suitable for cultivators with Gold Attribute Spirit Power. After injecting spiritual power in a specific way, it would emit a fierce Sword Light.


    Chen Mobai gave it a try and its power was equivalent to a Rank-1 high-grade Red Flame Sword Card.


    However, it consumed a fair amount of spiritual power. With his realm, he could only activate it seven times at most.


    ¡°Although I haven¡¯t tested it, I feel that the maximum limit of this ring should be nine swords in a row. It¡¯s even possible that like the Three Swords Card you used during the Magic Duel, once the nine Sword Lights come out together, they can form a subtle change, triggering a more powerful Sword Qi.¡± Wu Wan wrote everything he had appraised on the certification, and after Chen Mobai read it, he couldn¡¯t help but admire his professionalism..

 Chapter 145 - Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Half a Year_l

    Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Half a Year_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Half a year passed by in a flash.


    During Chen Mobai¡¯s transition to the Pure Yang Scroll, he encountered several problems he couldn¡¯t solve on his own. But under the guidance of the man in the red robe, he finally established the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Well done, now all you need to do is to cultivate the Pure Yang Qi Cultivation in an orderly manner, and transform the remaining Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power in your Qi Sea,¡± said the man.


    On a certain mountain peak in Cinnabarite Institute, the man in the red robe retracted his hand that had been pressing on Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian, seemingly relieved, and gave him a slight nod.


    ¡°It¡¯S been hard on you during this period, master,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai immediately stood up from his meditation mat and thanked the


    Golden Core master standing in front of him.


    ¡ö¡¯As a teacher of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it¡¯s my responsibility to guide you,¡± the man in the red robe responded with a slight shake of his head, accepting Chen Mobai¡¯s salute without moving.


    ¡°Master, did you cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll too?¡±


    Over the past six months, Chen Mobai realized that the man in the red robe had a deep understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll, which made him wonder if the man had practiced this cultivation technique before.


    ¡°During my Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages, I indeed practiced the Pure Yang Scroll. But in order to have more time for my Core Formation, I switched to Scorching Heaven Cultivation, which is derived from the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    The man in the red robe spoke of his cultivation journey without hesitation. He had ranked first in Red Sandstone City and entered the Dance Tool Dao Academy a hundred years ago, practicing Five Elements Cultivation at that time.


    After entering the academy, 36 students chose to transfer to the Pure Yang Scroll like him. However, only he and another cultivator named ¡°Little Sun¡± succeeded in Core Formation.


    His success was attributed to his realization that if he wanted to break through his realm and improve his Fire Spirit Root attributes with Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation, he might ultimately die of old age.


    Therefore, he made the decisive decision to focus on Scorching Heaven Cultivation to improve the realm after establishing his foundation, without further cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Such resolve allowed him, who used to be just an ordinary talent among his peers, to succeed in forming his Core on his first attempt, and now he even has the possibility of Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Master, are you warning me not to be too obsessed with the reputation of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Divinity Transformation technique, and be ready to give it up without hesitation if I find I may not break through my realm before I exhaust my lifespan?¡± Chen Mobai thought he had understood the meaning of the red-robed sage¡¯s words, but the latter simply laughed and shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it. For you, the most important thing is to establish your foundation now. To be honest, your progress is much slower than I expected. You should have abolished all the foundation of your Five Elements Cultivation in half a year. However, you¡¯ve only reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡± ¡°Yes, master,¡± replied Chen Mobai, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Although his Spiritual Root Talent was only considered average among the students in Cinnabarite Institute, the red-robed sage¡¯s guidance had helped him replace the root of his Five Elements Cultivation with Pure Yang spiritual power, and he had only just reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation a day before.


    His Five Elements Cultivation realm remained at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, partly due to his mediocre Spirit Root and partly because the transition to the Pure Yang Scroll was too slow. However, it was also because he had been using Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to enhance himself every day.


    This was a method taught by the man in the red robe, who noticed from the very beginning that Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power, boosted by Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, had an unstable foundation and that it was rather insubstantial.


    Noticing this, the red-robed sage did not let Chen Mobai cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to absorb spiritual energy to increase his spiritual power. Instead, he had Chen Mobai maintain the root of his Five Elements Cultivation with Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and then transform it into Pure Yang spiritual power using the method he taught. In this way, the root of the Pure Yang Scroll that he cultivated would be solid and beyond compare.


    It was like loose soil being compacted by a road roller, becoming incredibly firm and extraordinarily pure.


    ¡°Very well. After this, unless there¡¯s something else, we shouldn¡¯t meet again. Our connection ends here,¡± the man in the red robe said, looking at the fully risen sun in the horizon. After extracting the rising Purple Qi for cultivation that day, he got up and stepped into the clouds above the mountain peak.


    ¡°Even though master didn¡¯t officially take me as a disciple, I¡¯ve considered you my mentor in my heart,¡± said Chen Mobai, respectfully bowing to the figure disappearing into the clouds.


    When he looked up, the man in the red robe was nowhere in sight. In fact, they had only met six times in the past six months.


    However, every time the man in the red robe appeared, he was able to easily solve the doubts in Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation, even providing a wake-up call, and giving him direction in his cultivation.


    Chen Mobai truly wished he could improve himself under the man in red robe¡¯s guidance forever, if possible.


    Regrettably, happy times were always short-lived. Today was the day he was leaving the Cinnabarite Institute. In addition to his six month period being up, it was also New Year¡¯s Eve the next day.


    And a month after the New Year, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s semester would start, and Chen Mobai had to prepare to leave Red Sandstone City for Crimson City!


    The academic year in universities was different from elementary and high schools, as the curriculum was year-round. Therefore, Chen Mobai was able to stay at the Cinnabarite Institute without worry for half a year. However, he was also privileged to receive tutelage from the faculty of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in advance. Not all new students were fortunate enough to receive the attention of the Golden Core masters, offering one-on-one instruction, for half a year.


    With the New Year approaching, there were no students left in the Cinnabarite Institute.


    Shen Juanxiu and Luan Jingsheng had both gone home half a month ago. One of them, Chanshi, who was from another region, bought a ticket and left a month ago.


    After packing his things, Chen Mobai pocketed a stack of charm papers he had drawn and put them on the table, then went to the dutiful teacher on duty to check out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget your belongings,¡± the teacher on duty reminded him after taking back the key.


    ¡°Thank you, sir. I have everything with me.¡±


    After eating breakfast at the school gate, Chen Mobai caught the earliest coach and, after almost two hours of twists and turns, finally arrived home. Unfortunately, Chen Xinglan couldn¡¯t make it home for the New Year. After Chen Mobai passed the entry into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Xinglan seemed to have let go of all his worries. Buying enough Fasting Pills for two years of use, he directly applied for closed-door cultivation at Red Dawn Institution.


    Tang Panchui, though reluctant to let him go, knew how to prioritize and has since then discouraged Chen Mobai from disturbing Chen Xinglan without reason, so the latter could focus on his cultivation.


    At this, Chen Mobai could only smile bitterly, as he was hoping to help his father exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    Unfortunately, he hasn¡¯t even joined the Divine Wood Sect yet, let alone successfully joining as a formal disciple. According to the rules, he would have to become True Inheritance, only after 10 years would he be eligible for the exchange.

    ¡°This year it¡¯s just you and me for the New Year,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t grandma and grandpa coming over?¡± he asked.


    ¡°They are used to living near the mountains and don¡¯t want to come to Red Sandstone City,¡± she explained.


    Chen Mobai felt it was a shame after hearing that.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai went upstairs. He teleported to Green Light Island, but he didn¡¯t come to collect items, he was preparing to leave and head back to the Water Mansion..

 Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Leaving the Island_l

    Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Leaving the Island_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After half a year of exploration, Chen Mobai had traversed every corner of Green Light Island.


    Three months ago, the flock of Black Plague Birds that once lurked around the island left, as the food in this area had been depleted.


    With no more concerns, Chen Mobai thoroughly searched the important markets and areas where the teleportation arrays were located.


    The most significant find was a storage bag he found in the ruins of a collapsed market.


    He didn¡¯t know whose ill-fated property it was. The owner might have left it there, fearing it would draw attention during a battle, only to lose it when the entire Green Light Island fell.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how to open it and he dared not ask any questions at the Immortal Sect.


    So, it remained in his hand, waiting for an opportunity in the future, perhaps after joining the Divine Wood Sect, to figure it out.


    In addition to the unopenable storage bag, there were other intact magic artifacts: a black iron stick, a curved knife, an axe, five crossbows, and sixteen bottles of elixir.


    Chen Mobai gathered the elixirs and stored them in his cave.


    The rest were handed to Wu Wan for appraisal, and it turned out that apart from the valuable materials used, these artifacts were crudely forged and functioned just like ordinary weapons¡ªall it took was to infuse them with spiritual power.


    Since the items were large and cumbersome, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t be bothered to take them off the island, so he turned them all over to Wu Wan.


    They were sold for a total of 138,000 Good Deed Points, which amounted to a fair reward for his half-year of hard work.


    Now on his account, including the 200,000 from Shen Juanxiu, minus the investments spent on drawing symbols over the past six months, he had a total of 320,000 Good Deed Points, which is quite a decent sum.


    However, during this half year, due to dabbling on Green Light Island, collecting items, and transferring to the Pure Yang Scroll, he hadn¡¯t been able to fully commit to snatching the three treasures for Foundation Establishment on the Immortal Sect¡¯s website, otherwise, his assets could have doubled.


    Yet, perhaps it all worked out for the best. After all, if he kept succeeding in winning the auctions, he would no longer be seen as simply lucky and might even draw official attention.


    Chen Mobai had searched every inch of the surface of Green Light Island over the past six months, feeling there might still be something buried underground, but he couldn¡¯t possibly tear up the entire island.


    Moreover, the Divine Wood Sect was about to start recruiting Loose Cultivators soon, so he couldn¡¯t waste any more time here.


    Therefore, he decided to leave.


    Using the Spirit Tree, he made the simplest of rafts. Armed with sixteen bottles of elixir that he had found on the island, he left the deserted island that held many memories.


    Opening the Turtle Treasure, the mostly blank map came into view.


    After careful consideration, Chen Mobai decided to go to the island run by Southstream Market first.


    Who knew what the situation there was?


    Was it also eradicated during the demonic beast frenzy?


    If the teleportation arrays there were also destroyed, it would take Chen Mobai nearly a month of drifting in the Cloud Dream Marsh before he could return to land.


    With a compass he had purchased from the Immortal Sect, and cross-referencing the map in the Turtle Treasure, Chen Mobai began his journey alone on the raft.


    The trip from Green Light Island would take three days.


    By dawn, he found a reef to disembark, anchored the raft, and clicked on the ¡°return to city¡± option.


    After spending a peaceful New Year with his mother, Tang Panchui, they went to his aunt and uncle¡¯s house. When the elders started playing mahjong, he took his sister, Wang Xinying, to watch a New Year blockbuster.


    The story was about a young man who fought against heaven and earth, ultimately saving his wife and having a happy life together.


    Chen Mobai forgot the plot as soon as the movie ended, while Wang Xinying was engrossed, still recounting the protagonist¡¯s perseverance and loyalty to love as they left.


    ¡°By the way, bro, where¡¯s that beautiful sister-in-law from last time? Why haven¡¯t you brought her home yet?¡±


    Wang Xinying¡¯s words caught Chen Mobai off guard.


    ¡°I told you, we¡¯re just friends.¡±


    ¡°I understand¡­¡±


    Seeing his sister¡¯s barely suppressed laughter, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give her double buns a rub. As she squealed in surprise, he laughed heartily and ran off.


    The joyful banter between the siblings filled the New Year with festivity.


    However, Wang Xinying¡¯s words did remind Chen Mobai of something.


    Indeed, he hadn¡¯t contacted Qing Nu in a while.


    He wondered how she was doing recently.


    Had she completed the concoction of the Fire Clearing Pill?


    Yang Jing¡¯s injuries should be healed, right?


    With these questions in mind, he decided to give her a call.


    The next day, they were back at the grilled fish restaurant.


    ¡°Here you go!¡±


    Qing Nu gave Chen Mobai a large bottle of pills.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Fire Clearing Pill.¡±


    ¡°You made it?¡±


    ¡°I failed countless times at first, couldn¡¯t even extract the medicinal materials correctly. Later, I asked for help from Teacher Shang Qing. She brought a professional alchemist from Bao Ping Pharmacy to teach me for half a month. She also rented me a lower-grade Rank-2 caldron. After ruining seven batches of raw materials, I achieved success.¡±


    Qing Nu spoke of her hardships in alchemy, but once she succeeded in concocting the Fire Clearing Pill, everything had been smooth sailing for her.


    All the successful Fire Clearing Pills she had prepared in the past six months were in that bottle.


    ¡°Did you keep any for yourself?¡±


    As Chen Mobai took the bottle and counted the pills using his Divine Sense, he was surprised to find there were 24 pills.


    ¡°No, after all, we had agreed that all the successful pills belong to you.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head; she was more than satisfied from gaining mastery in alchemy skills.


    ¡°The 300,000 Good Deed Points I earned from betting, after deducting handling fees, were used to purchase materials for 14 batches of Fire Clearing Pills. I have 12,000 Good Deed Points left over, I will transfer to you.¡±


    ¡°No need, didn¡¯t I already say it before? I wanted to give you a hardship allowance. Consider it as a reward for your alchemy.¡±


    Chen Mobai refused to accept the money. When Qing Nu¡¯s teacher was arrested and she lost her source of income, he had stated that each successful pill represented a reward which could be seen as a sponsorship for her studies at Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Then let me not hold back.¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t hesitate upon hearing this, she thanked him and accepted the money.


    ¡°Oh, by the way, can I buy a Fire Clearing Pill from you?¡±


    After the grilled fish arrived, Qing Nu suddenly made a request that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You could have easily given me one less, and I wouldn¡¯t have known.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not that kind of person.¡±


    A bit angry, Qing Nu pouted. Chen Mobai quickly apologized, opened the pill bottle, and poured out a pill for her.


    ¡°I¡¯m buying it for Yang Jing. She is having some trouble with her Divine Sense after practicing the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    Having said this, Qing Nu transferred 5,000 Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai.


    While Chen Mobai wanted to refuse, Qing Nu insisted that he take the money.


    Seeing her resolve, Chen Mobai had no choice but to accept.

    ¡°Oh, you guys got here first.¡±


    At this time, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice sounded from behind them.


    Next to her, Mo Simin was staring in surprise at Chen Mobai and Qing Nu who were already seated.


    ¡°The friends you were talking about having lunch with, it¡¯s these two?¡±


    Mo Simin asked her good friend with a stiff face. Yan Bingxuan nodded slightly and pulled her to sit down..

    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    This meal had a strange taste for Mo Simin.


    Qing Nu also looked a bit odd.


    Only Chen Mobai and Van Bingxuan were unaware, thoroughly enjoying their meal.


    This was a Spirit Fish Chen Mobai had caught specifically from Yun Meng Ze. The meat was tender and delicious; paired with the boss¡¯s secret recipe, the taste was outstanding.


    ¡°By the way, when are you planning to leave?¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally referred to the time of departure to the Daoist Academy. The Crimson City cave dwelling he was going to was not too far from Red Sandstone City. With an express train, it would probably only take a day and a night.


    ¡°I might leave early. As I have direct admission, there are some processes to go through.¡±


    While eating and speaking, Qing Nu glanced at Chen Mobai who was completely unobservant.


    ¡°I¡¯ll also go early.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was also directly admitted to the Nature Studies Academy by her aunt.


    I might be a bit later since I am nearby.¡±


    Class president Mo Simin was lucky; though she had a mediocre entrance exam score, she was still admitted by the Heavenly Book Academy.


    Chen Mobai asked about the situation of others.


    It was a pity that Song Zheng did not receive an admission notice from the Primordial Elemental Academy and ultimately went to the Heavenly Book Academy, just like Mo Simin.


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling agreed to go to the Spiritual Treasure Academy. It was said that Cao Yaling had originally received an admission notice from the Astral Observation Academy, but she made this choice to not separate from Shi Jingjing.


    As for Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing, the latter also wanted to choose the same academy as Xu Yuan, but was rejected by him.


    In the end, under the repeated persuasion of family and friends, Shi Yuanqing still went to the Primordial Elemental Academy. He achieved the best results in his grade, second only to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Can my sister go with you? It would be nice for her to have company.¡± Qing Nu suddenly asked Yan Bingxuan, who was momentarily startled. Chen Mobai quickly explained that Qing Nu¡¯s sister was Yang Jing. Yan Bingxuan and Mo Simin¡¯s expression was the same as Chen Mobai¡¯s initial shock.


    No problem. My master asked me to take her when she left.¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu thanked Yan Bingxuan with a nod.


    Originally, Qing Nu intended for Yang Jing to go to the Imperial Medical Academy, but Ning Anning said, ¡°Physicians can¡¯t heal themselves.¡±


    After the three of them pondered, they ultimately decided to let Yang Jing go to the Nature Studies Academy to seek a method to solve her own problems through the cultivation technique. Kong Feichen chose the Imperial Medical Academy, and with his achievements, he soon received an admission notice.


    Yan Qiongzhi from the Nature Studies Academy regretted Kong Feichen¡¯s choice. However, considering he did it for his sister, she expressed understanding.


    Furthermore, Chen Mobai¡¯s two rivals, Gong Xiangyu, went to the True Spiritual Academy, and Yan Feng went to the Mountain and Sea Academy. The two had already chosen their paths. When they couldn¡¯t attend one of the four main Daoist academies, they didn¡¯t choose the most famous Primordial and Pure Yang, but instead chose the academy that best suited the advancement of their cultivation technique.


    They were all individuals with strong will power!


    It was rumored that they were quite unwilling to accept their defeat at the hands of someone.


    ¡°Hope that when we meet next time, we have all reached the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai expressed his sincere wishes for their parting.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Qing Nu replied with a smile.


    ¡°In that case, we may not see each other again for ten or twenty years.¡± Yan Bingxuan wiped her mouth expressionlessly, uttering a dark joke. She would need several years at least to improve her Ice Spirit Root. By the time she was ready to make the strike to attain Foundation Establishment, it could really be that long.


    As for the class president Mo Simin, although she was short of confidence, she nodded nonetheless.


    No one didn¡¯t aspire to reach Foundation Establishment.


    Even if it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    After chatting for a while longer, everyone went their separate ways home. In the following days, Chen Mobai met up with his desk mate Lu Hongsheng the two girls seated at the front, Yu Shu and Pu Jiangxue, Song Zheng and other classmates to say their goodbyes.


    As for the Tianhe Realm, after three days of drifting, he finally arrived at the island operated by the Southstream Market.


    Here, you could clearly see the traces of the demonic beasts¡¯ attack, but, fortunately, there were still human traces remaining.


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s raft drew near, it was stopped by two cultivators.


    Only after negotiation and explaining the situation was he permitted to land on the island.


    Brother, you really are lucky. Of the sixty-six markets in the outskirts of Yun Meng Ze, twenty-four have been overrun by demonic beasts. There are a handful of people who survived the destruction of the islands. You¡¯re the third one we¡¯ve met here,¡± a cultivator said with a sigh after confirming that Chen Mobai was a human and not a transformed demonic beast.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent. To my shame, I hid in a cave I dug myself for a full half a year after the destruction of Green Light Island, only daring to emerge when I completely ran out of supplies.¡±


    ¡°Oh, it seems there were no Seeking Spirit Birds among the group of demonic beasts that overran Green Light Island.¡±


    This cultivator surnamed Liu was from the cultivation family of the Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai asked what a Seeking Spirit Bird was.


    ¡°Much like the Treasure Hunting Rat, this type of demonic beast is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy.¡±


    ¡°Rank-2 and above demonic beasts possess spiritual wisdom. They know that powerful spiritual objects can bring about their transformation, so stronger demonic beasts typically keep a Seeking Spirit Bird by their side.¡±


    ¡°Every time the demonic beasts overrun a cultivators¡¯ market, they go through every corner with a Seeking Spirit Bird, sweeping up all objects with spiritual properties. We cultivators, being mobile sources of spiritual power, cannot escape the detection of a Seeking Spirit Bird.¡±


    It was for this reason that the cultivator surnamed Liu thought that Chile Mobai was able to avoid disaster following the fall of Green Light Island because the group of beasts that attacked did not own a Seeking Spirit Bird.


    Chen Mobai was not aware of this. No wonder he had searched the island for half a year only to find a few items. They had already been swept through by the bear of demonic beasts.


    The magic artifacts he found must have been missed by the demonic beasts.


    Is the teleportation array in the market still functional?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking in fear of again revealing any flaws. He immediately changed the topic.


    -It¡¯s not usable anymore, it was destroyed by the demonic beasts. The array master who can repair the teleportation array won¡¯t be able to come until next year. If you want to go back to Southstream Market, you¡¯ll have to take our Liu family¡¯s boat and then transfer to the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel on the mainland, or you can walk there yourself.¡±


    The cultivator surnamed Liu shook his head.


    Unlike the high and mighty seven sects, these cultivation families, realizing that the beasts were about to attack, promptly packed up their spirit stones and strategically transferred them to the mainland via the teleportation array, effectively giving up the island.


    After the demonic beasts arrived on the island, they could only destroy the buildings since there were no spiritual objects left for them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The teleportation array was the only valuable thing, but the demonic beasts didn¡¯t understand formations and didn¡¯t dare to teleport to the cultivators¡¯ base on the mainland, so they just destroyed it.


    Chen Mobai was lucky, the team from Southstream Market had just arrived at the island this month.


    If he had come earlier, he would have only seen a ruined desert island.


    ¡°Did the Wind and Rain post at the center of Yun Meng Ze fall? How else could the demonic beasts wreak such havoc?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused the cultivator surnamed Liu to shake his head and sigh..

 Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Rank-3 Demonic beasts_l

    Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Rank-3 Demonic beasts_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The situation at Storm Fort is alright, but outside of it, things have gone awry.¡±


    The cultivator surnamed Liu sighed.


    Originally, the main forces of the seven major sects were suppressing the Nascent Soul demon beast in the Storm Fort, but unbeknownst to them, a new demon beast that had just broken through to Rank-3 suddenly appeared on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.


    This demon beast didn¡¯t show off after its breakthrough, but it began to command the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts outside of Yun Meng Ze to besiege the sixty-six Fang Markets of the seven major sects.


    When Elder Fu of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Storm Fort, all the markets on the outside thought that the game was up and relaxed their vigilance.


    It was at this very moment that this long-hidden Rank-3 demon beast began its attack.


    In a single day and night, it broke the large formation of twelve markets and scattered the spirit veins that the seven major sects had cultivated with great difficulty with its innate divine abilities.


    However, thanks to the demon beast focusing most of its attention on breaking the array, the surging invasion of demonic beasts outside carried out the attacks, whilst it quickly moved on to the sixty-six markets on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.


    But the response from the side of the seven major sects was swift too, they couldn¡¯t let this rank-3 demon beast do as it pleased.


    A few Gold Core Elders received the news and immediately arrived at Storm Fort through the teleportation array, then jointly deployed a magic artifact capable of detecting strong demon beasts, locking onto its aura.


    In order to resolve things swiftly, Elder Fu from the Divine Wood Sect even used a Rank-4 Wind Escape Talisman, and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff intercepted the newly promoted Rank-3 demon beast in a very short period of time.


    Unexpectedly, the strength of this demon beast was surprisingly powerful, a direct descendant of the Nascent Soul demon beast that was suppressed by Hun Yuan Elder in the past. Although the two Gold Core Elders could overpower it, they were unable to kill it.


    The fierce battle lasted for three days and nights. The surrounding waters within dozens of miles were blasted into a wasteland by them. In the end, it was Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff who used his life¡¯s magic sword at the cost of his vital essence and severely wounded this demon beast.


    Then there was a pursuit that lasted for a month, and even two Gold Core Elders exited Storm Fort, wanting to kill off this unlimited potential rank-3 demon beast, nipping the problem in the bud.


    But at this moment, the seal in the heart of Yun Meng Ze began to stir. The Nascent Soul demon beast that had not appeared for a long time personally attacked the seal left by Hun Yuan Elder.


    In the end, the four Gold Core Elders had to give up the pursuit and withdrew back to the Storm Fort.


    After all, if they allowed the Nascent Soul demon beast to emerge, their seven major sects would probably have to abandon the Eastern Wilderness and go far away.


    They, cultivators who had lived for over a hundred years, naturally understood which mattered more.


    After Chen Mobai listened to the words of the cultivator surnamed Liu, he finally understood why Green Light Island was breached.


    A Rank-3 demon beast, coupled with innate divine powers that could specifically shatter spirit veins, indeed couldn¡¯t be resisted by a Fang Market guarded by only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    At this moment, he couldn¡¯t help but feel glad that he wasn¡¯t there at the time; otherwise, he might not have been able to find an eight-second gap in the tide of beast invasion and teleported back to the Celestial Gate.


    ¡°Wait, does that mean that that Rank-3 demon beast could come back at any time? Isn¡¯t it unsafe here too? ¡±


    Upon further thought, Chen Mobai¡¯s face changed slightly.


    He realized that this island could possibly repeat the same mistake, and now even the teleportation array was damaged. If attacked by demonic beasts, they would be sitting ducks.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. If the seven major sects hadn¡¯t resolved the problem, how would we dare to return?¡±


    Cultivator Liu revealed another piece of news. Namely, the seven major sects announced last month that they had driven out the rank-3 beast from Yun Meng Ze.


    Because of this, their family of cultivators dared to send people over to rebuild this trade route.


    After all, the spiritual objects produced from Yun Meng Ze in the entire Eastern Wilderness account for more than thirty percent of what all cultivators use daily.


    If they were to abandon this place, it would not only wreak havoc upon the cultivator families, but also cause serious distress to the Seven Major Sects.


    Although the Seven Major Sects did not disclose how exactly they expelled the Rank-3 Demon Beast, their credibility remains quite high in the hearts of cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, the cultivators who had fled Yun Meng Ze earlier have gradually begun to return.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    He had just begun to familiarize himself with the Eastern Wilderness, so if a monster were to break out of Yun Meng Ze, wouldn¡¯t his plan to join the Divine Wood Sect get thwarted? He would then be forced to seek refuge in other domains of the Tianhe Realm.


    Upon reaching the island, Chen Mobai registered his name.


    A group of new cultivators had recently arrived from the Southstream Market, and their fleet was undergoing repairs, with an expected return voyage in about three days.


    Without hesitating, he paid the fare of three Spirit Stones and secured his ticket. The price had tripled compared to before, but without any choice, to go back by himself would be too time-consuming. Furthermore, he couldn¡¯t rule out the possibility of encountering demonic beasts on the waterway¨Cfor security reasons, it was better to move with the large group.


    Chen Mobai strolled around the island, noting how rapidly the cultivators constructed huts. The market that was previously destroyed was slowly taking shape again.


    Regrettably, the trading volume was very low, with just a few stalls set up.


    Chen Mobai made some inquiries and found that the prices of magic artifacts and talismans had plummeted. The prices of elixirs had also fallen a little bit, but they remained relatively firm. Some elixirs for healing wounds or enhancing cultivation levels had even begun to surge in price following the onslaught of the demonic beasts.


    Because many people have realized that cultivation level is the key.


    Therefore, many surviving Loose Cultivators, instead of hoarding their Spirit Stones, started to buy large amounts of elixirs that enhance cultivation levels.


    As for the healing elixirs, it goes without saying that several cultivators, despite having escaped from the island during the monster attack, had paid a heavy price.


    Chen Mobai recalled the sixteen bottles of elixirs he brought from Green Light Island. He glanced at the labels and found that most of them were for boosting cultivation levels, while a small portion without labels were likely produced by those nameless alchemists.


    Unfortunately, the shops of the major cultivator families on this island haven¡¯t opened yet, and the Loose Cultivators selling elixirs at the stalls did not have enough Spirit Stones to buy the sixteen bottles in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    He would have to wait until he returned to Southstream Market to sell them slowly.


    After strolling around, Chen Mobai rented a room to stay in.


    Three days later, he took his ticket to the shore only to spot a familiar face.


    ¡°Daoist He, I didn¡¯t expect to run into you here.¡±


    He Qun, who was already on the ship, was a little surprised at seeing Chen Mobai. However, he was in a terrible state, having lost one of his hands, his complexion looked much more aged than before, full of wrinkles.


    ¡°Daoist Chen.¡±


    Both men, having only met once before, just exchanged greetings and took their respective seats on the ship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai noticed that He Qun was alone. He remembered the seven-member team that He Qun had mentioned earlier. They must have suffered heavy losses in the monster attack, with only He Qun escaping with his life.


    He wondered which market they had gone to.


    Previously, he was a bit wary of He Qun, but now he thought it might have been Lu Shu¡¯s words that had influenced him, making him overly suspicious.


    Ever since knowing that Lu Shu had tampered with the Symbol Making Tips he had given him, Chen Mobai began to review all his previous conversations with him, at least no longer blindly trusting him.


    In this Tianhe Realm, one must maintain a suspicious attitude towards everyone..

 Chapter 149 - Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Casting Sword Ring l

    Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Casting Sword Ring l


    Translator: 549690339


    That day, Chen Mobai was in his seat, eyes closed, nurturing his thoughts and casting his spirit.


    Suddenly, a violent shaking occurred, causing his body to sway uncontrollably. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    All the cultivators on the ship rose, making their way to the windows.


    ¡°A group of Water Snake demonic beasts are attacking us. We could use your help.¡±


    Two cultivators from the Liu family entered, speaking gravely to all.


    Subsequently, they approached the Cultivators on board with the highest levels of Qi Cultivation, and in a moment, one was at Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°Brother Chen, would you be willing to help? We would reimburse your fare.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately nodded.


    He understood the principles of shared glory and shared defeat.


    If the ship capsized now, he was likely to find survival in the vast Cloud Dream marshes extremely difficult, and might be forced to flee back to the Immortal Gate.


    Inside the cabin, twelve Qi Practitioners in the later stages of cultivation, ten of them, along with the Liu family cultivator, reached the deck.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the two who didn¡¯t come out, one seemed wounded, pale-faced. The other was He Qun, who had lost one hand, severely handicapped in battle, and could be said to be severely injured.


    ¡°Everyone, please stand on either side of the ship¡¯s exterior. This Ice Breaking Ship is a joint product of Liu Jia Mountain and Shake Mountain Peak. It can withstand both magic attacks and physical attacks from demonic beasts but needs intermediate grade Spirit Stones to power its source. I only have a few left. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we need to find an opportunity to repel or kill this group of demonic beasts.¡±


    The lead Liu family cultivator on the ship was named Liu Yongnian, with a Qi Cultivation Level of nine layers.


    After briefly explaining the situation, he immediately directed Chen Mobai and the other nine to their positions.


    The mention of intermediate grade Spirit Stones surprised Chen Mobai.


    In their normal trades at the Fang Market, they used low-grade Spirit Stones. To exchange for intermediate grade Spirit Stones, one would need a hundred low-grade ones.


    All Spirit Stone Mines in the Eastern Wilderness were monopolized by the seven sects, and what flowed into the outside world were mostly lower-grade Spirit Stones. After all, these intermediate grade Spirit Stones are used by Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate Qi, and even the seven sects themselves found it insufficient.


    The Liu family, indeed worthy of being one of the four major Immortal Cultivation families in Yun Country, managed to obtain intermediate grade Spirit Stones, although it¡¯s also possible they were given when they bought the ship.


    Realizing this, Chen Mobai understood why the ticket was so expensive, considering the significant investment the Liu family put into obtaining this ship.


    Amid the humming noise.


    Chen Mobai looked up to see an earthy-yellow light shield light up, enclosing the entire ship.


    At the same time, nearly dozens of blackish-blue water snakes probed their heads out of the water off the ship¡¯s side, opening their huge mouths, and spewed waves of water in their direction.


    Accompanied by the chilling whistle, the water waves fell on the ship like rows of sword light, blanketing the sky.


    However, the earthy-yellow light shield blocked all attacks.


    But after two rounds, the light shield began to dim slightly. Liu Yongnian begrudgingly took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and had his nephew replace the spent one.


    ¡°Everyone, it will still take three days to reach shore. If we let this group of beasts attack continuously, we might attract other demonic beasts. Please join me in a counterattack.¡±


    After finishing this, Liu Yongnian was the first to leave the Ice Breaking Ship, riding a Flying Sword to fight against a distinctively large black snake.


    Chen Mobai waited a moment. Until half of them had begun to leave the protection of the light shield and battle the water snakes, he followed suit.


    First, he slapped a floating charm on himself, then shot a hidden-yellow Flying Needle from his sleeve into the eyes and vital points of two large snakes that were opening their mouths to bite him.


    Blood splattered everywhere.


    All the Flying Needles penetrated the bodies of the water snakes. However, the vitality of the demon beasts was so tenacious that it was totally different from humans.


    Or rather, the damage from the needle pricks wasn¡¯t fatal enough for them.


    As two gaping mouths lunged at him, Chen Mobai swiftly pulled out a blue handkerchief.


    A large blue shield materialized in front of him, blocking the two Cold Snakes that, having been injured, were now in a frenzied state.


    ¡°Perfect time to test out these three magic artifacts.¡±


    Seeing the snakes get blocked by the blue shield and then becoming even more enraged, they began to coil around him, trying to bypass his defenses. Chen Mobai raised his right hand.


    He rubbed the brass ring on his middle finger with his thumb, injecting spiritual power into it.


    Golden light flickered!


    It seemed as if a sword had glided over the water easily, severing the two Water Snakes that had just coiled themselves around him.


    ¡°Not bad, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the results of the battle, his eyes lighting up. However, after sensing the spiritual power within his body, he shook his head slightly.


    Inside the cabin, He Qun, who watched this scene through the window, narrowed his eyes slightly.


    He had a memory of this brass ring, it seemed to be a sword casting ring from the Golden Cliff.


    These people outside were generally experienced individuals who had fought with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze. They were Qi Practitioners in the latter stages, including even two who were at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. With the Ice Breaking Ship backing them up, they could retreat onto it at any time if they could not hold on. Naturally, they had won a complete victory in this battle.


    Chen Mobai tested the power of the brass ring and blue handkerchief once again. Since the white jade bell was for group attacks and couldn¡¯t be controlled, he didn¡¯t use it.


    After killing two more Water Snakes, the rest scattered in fear.


    However, the leading black snake was firmly entwined by Liu Yongnian and couldn¡¯t escape.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai and the others didn¡¯t miss this opportunity. They all rushed over using their various techniques. Ten spells were bombarded together, directly killing this rank-1 peak demonic beast.


    ¡°Thanks for your help, everyone. I will send someone to pay for your boat tickets soon.¡±


    After returning to the boat, Liu Yongnian first thanked Chen Mobai and the others, then beckoned his nephew and began to refund the Spirit Stones.


    He, on the other hand, called three other cultivators from the Liu family on board the ship and skillfully dissected the black snake, taking the snake gall, bones, skin, eyes, and other useful things with great satisfaction.


    These things could be sold at the Southstream Market for at least a hundred Spirit Stones.


    Since the people who helped out needed the use of their Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship and had gotten their boat ticket money back, no one said anything more.


    But Liu Yongnian was a good man. He divided the snake meat and gave two pounds to each of the ten cultivators who had fought, including Chen Mobai.


    The meat of these rank-1 demonic beasts was full of rich spiritual energy. If sold to restaurants such as the Sky Meal Building that specialized in spiritual meals, two pounds of meat could be exchanged for two Spirit Stones.


    Having gained these benefits, everyone was even less inclined to gossip.


    On the rest of the journey, they encountered another group of demonic beasts ¨C a group of slow-moving Black Armored Turtles. The Liu family didn¡¯t hesitate to use Spirit Stones to speed up their boat to its fastest to avoid the area where these beasts were and avoid a battle.


    Three days later, they finally landed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There was naturally a stopover market on the shore.


    Chen Mobai looked at the map and found the journey back to the Water Mansion quite far.


    Even though going to the market before heading back to the Water Mansion was a roundabout way, due to his cautious nature, he decided to follow the Luo family¡¯s caravan back to Yun Country first.


    He Qun watched as Chen Mobai bought a ticket from the Luo family, his eyes slightly narrowed.


    He made eye contact with the other two Loose Cultivators who just got off the boat and then bought a ticket on the same coach as Chen Mobai while the other two left immediately..

 Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Chapter 15?_1

    Chapter 150: Chapter 15?_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Five days later, standing before the familiar plaque of Southstream Market, Chen Mobai felt as if he had been transported to a different era.


    ¡°Elder, it¡¯s been a while. I didn¡¯t expect to see you still alive.¡±


    Qi Er, who was acting as a guide at the entrance, looked at Chen Mobai, his face filled with excitement.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    For this, all Chen Mobai could do was smile gently.


    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been any big incident in the market lately, has there.¡±


    He didn¡¯t ask Qi Er to lead the way, but when the latter saw an acquaintance, he greeted his fellow companions at the entrance and followed Chen Mobai into the market on his own initiative.


    ¡°Our Yun Country is within the influence of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, as long as these two sects don¡¯t fight each other, even if enemy forces attack, our Southstream Market is as secure as Mount Tai.¡± Qi Er¡¯s face showed pride, as if he really considered himself a part of the market.


    ¡°Brother Chen, hold on.¡±


    just at this moment, He Qun suddenly ran over and stopped Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, is there something you need, Brother He?


    Chen Mobai turned around, looking a bit puzzled.


    ¡°The thing is, as you know, I wasn¡¯t so lucky during our expedition to Yun Meng Ze. Not only did I lose an arm, but I also exhausted all of my spirit stones.¡±


    ¡°I am in dire need of spirit stones right now. You once asked me about buying Dark Water. I still have two bottles of it, do you still need it?


    ¡°I can give them to you at the cheapest price, 15 spirit stones per bottle.¡±


    He Qun said sincerely, but Chen Mobei just shook his head.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother He, I want it, but I am a little short of funds, I can¡¯t afford even one bottle.¡±


    The actual reason was that Chen Mobai felt the Dark Water refined by He Qun himself should not be as good a quality as that of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, he still had a bottle of Dark Water that he could use, so it was not necessary to invest his precious spirit stones in this.


    ¡°I see. I am sorry for my prattle.¡±


    Looking disappointed, He Qun walked away.


    After leaving Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight, he entered a small lane.


    Two ordinary-looking, thin loose cultivators were already waiting there, their faces slightly changed when they saw him coming in, and they asked.


    ¡°How did it go, have you confirmed it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, when I was selling Dark Water just now, I took a good look. The brass ring he wears on his hand is the ¡®Casting Sword Ring¡¯ of Golden Cliff. If you get it, you can easily break through to the perfection of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°This Casting Sword Ring is a symbol of the true disciples of Golden Cliff, rarely circulated outside. How did he get it?¡±


    ¡°Well find out when we ask him.¡±


    The older of the two loose cultivators spoke with a cold tone.


    ¡°I¡¯ve given you the information, where¡¯s my payment?¡±


    He Qun asked.


    ¡°This time is different from before, we¡¯ll give it to you after we get the goods.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m in urgent need of spirit stones, I need it now.


    Hearing He Qun¡¯s words, the elder loose cultivator lifted his head, and the air in the entire alley suddenly turned cold.


    ¡°Old Man He, all your sworn brothers, have died in Yun Meng Ze. Even you only have one hand left. You need to realign the way you treat us brothers.¡±


    ¡°You all¡­¡±


    After hearing these words, a flash of anger crossed He Qun¡¯s face. However, seeing the two men opposite squinting their eyes, recalling his current situation, and the fact that the two sworn brothers who left earlier haven¡¯t returned to the market yet, he had to swallow his rage, held his tongue and turned to leave.


    ¡°Brother, isn¡¯t this a bit inappropriate? After all, the information provided by him has helped us to settle in Southstream Market.¡±


    After He Qun had left, the smaller cultivator frowned and asked a question.


    ¡°We were just being polite because he is of use to us.


    ¡°Once we seize the Casting Sword Ring, we¡¯ll leave Yun Country immediately and head to Kun Country.¡±


    ¡°As long as we cultivate Golden Light Tactics to Qi Cultivation Level Nine, pass the Sword Tomb trial, and become disciples of Golden Cliff, we won¡¯t have to spend our time in this small market, working as He Qun¡¯s henchmen.¡± After the larger cultivator finished speaking, the other showed an enlightened expression.


    Indeed, since this was their final score, there was no need to give face to He


    Qun.


    ¡®¡öYou keep an eye on the market entrance. The moment that boy leaves, we¡¯ll ambush and kill him halfway. I will watch Old He.¡±


    After dividing their tasks, the two disappeared into the alley.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware of this. He handed over the two pounds of snake meat he was carrying to Qi Er, asking him to sell it to Sky Meal Building for him.


    Then he brought the sixteen bottles of elixirs that he had picked up from Green Light Island, and went to set up his stall.


    By now he was familiar with the ropes, he found the stall owner who had previously bought his elixirs, and after haggling over the price, he sold all the elixirs at once, earning 28 Spirit Stones, which was considered a conclusion to his half-year¡¯s hard work.


    After waiting for a while, Qi Er, who had finished selling the snake meat, returned with the earnings of two Spirit Stones.


    Also there were 68 used Spirit Stones that he had bought over time, following Chen Mobai¡¯s order. These would be invaluable as Spiritual Extract once taken to the Celestial Sects.


    Chen Mobai directly handed him a silver note worth a thousand taels as a reward, to which Qi Er expressed his deep gratitude.


    ¡°By the way, do you know if Lu Shu, who shared a booth with me, is still in the market?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him for a while, but Miss Zhuo Ming returned from Yun Meng Ze last month. She has a good relationship with Lu Shu. You might want to ask her. But she hasn¡¯t been at her stall recently either, and has been staying in her rented cave dwelling.¡±


    Hearing Qi Er¡¯s words, Chen Mobai thought of the woman in a yellow dress who had bought two Green Arrow Talismans from him. If he remembered correctly, she was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.


    She was pretty lucky to have survived the attack of demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze.


    However, he and Zhuo Ming only had one conversation before, and he wasn¡¯t sure if she would want to see him if he went to see her abruptly.


    After much consideration, Chen Mobai decided to pay her a visit.


    This matter had been bothering him for a long time, and it would continue to be uncomfortable if he didn¡¯t resolve it.


    When he arrived at Zhuo Ming¡¯s cave dwelling, he found the door was closed. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to shout or pass a note in, it would be too presumptuous.


    He wanted to leave a note at the door, but he didn¡¯t dare to write his questions on it, and so he ended up shaking his head and leaving.

    At the entrance of the market, Chen Mobai found Qi Er and instructed him to pass a message to Zhuo Ming if he saw her, saying he wanted to talk to her. After all the arrangements, he made another trip to the pharmacy in the market where the Divine Wood Sect sold medicinal pills and Spirit Grass, to ask when they would begin accepting loose cultivators this year.


    The shopkeeper somewhat recognized him, and noticing Chen Mobai¡¯s late stage of Qi Cultivation, his attitude was even more amiable.


    -This year our sect lost quite a few disciples in Yun Meng Ze. We need to recruit new blood earlier than usual, so the Spirit Messenger has left early. But to reach Yun Country, it would take at least half a month at the earliest.¡± After all, the land of the Eastern Wasteland was vast. Yun Country was considered near, but on average, a sect would set a year as the period for the Spirit Messenger¡¯s recruitment of disciples.


    ¡°Is that so? It seems that it¡¯s best to stay here for the time being.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai muttered to himself..

 Chapter 151 - Chapter 151: Chapter 151 The Body of Sun 1

    Chapter 151: Chapter 151 The Body of Sun 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Joining the Divine Wood Sect was crucial for Chen Mobai¡¯s future establishment in the Tianhe Realm.


    So, in order to avoid missing the opportunity and to increase his chances of success, he chose to settle down in the Southstream Market.


    This was his first time renting a cave dwelling within the market.


    Keeping with his consistent frugality, he rented the cheapest dwelling with a single Spirit Stone. After all, his recent focus on cultivating a Pure Yang Daoist Body did not require a high demand for spiritual energy.


    The ¡°Pure Yang Daoist Body¡± served as the basis for unsealing the Pure Yang Scroll.


    To establish a Foundation, one must cultivate a Three Yang Body, but once that is accomplished, it can increase the odds of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.


    Though Chen Mobai had, under the guidance of the real man in the crimson robe, entered the gate of the Pure Yang Scroll, cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body could only be achieved over time, slowly refined through patience. However, compared to others, he had a Spirit Stone, which could greatly shorten the time required.


    During his six months at the Cinnabarite Institute under the watchful eyes of the Gold Core Real Man, out of caution, Chen Mobai followed the most conventional methods for cultivating a Pure Yang Daoist Body and did not use the Spirit Stone.


    This resulted in his Pure Yang Daoist Body still lingering on the threshold of ¡°The First Yang Birth¡±.


    But now that he had returned to South Creek Fang Market, in the calm days before the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger arrived, he could use the time to try Spirit Stone cultivation for his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    After cleaning his newly rented cave dwelling using the Cleaning Technique, Chen Mobai sat down in the middle on a cushion.


    He took out a piece of Spirit Stone and held it in his right palm, recalling the mental cultivation method of Pure Yang Daoist Body. After confirming its accuracy, he closed his eyes.


    A stream of pure spiritual energy surged from the acupoints in his palm, traveling along a particular path through his body, and when it finally circulated into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, only a faint trace remained, which disappeared before reaching the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Chen Mobai was mentally prepared for this.


    Over the Auxiliary Cultivation software, he had read the detailed steps and procedures for using Spirit Stones in cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, more than ten times.


    He knew that the disappearance of spiritual energy in various parts of the body indicates that the hidden Spiritual Roots within the body have absorbed it, which means that the cultivation has been successful.


    However, for the first trial, the result was not the best.


    According to posts by experts from the Pure Yang Academy on Auxiliary Cultivation, the Pure Yang Daoist Body¡¯s enhancement and purification of Spiritual Roots require compensating for deficiencies in abundance.


    Research by the Imperial Medical Academy shows that the Five Elements Spiritual Root, although it can¡¯t be observed specifically, is housed in the human body, with its yin and yang and five elements, which is regarded as the resting place of the Spiritual Root after numerous experiments.


    In this philosophy, the gallbladder and liver contain wood, the heart and cauterized areas ignite fire, the stomach and spleen nourish earth, intestines and lungs embody metal, and kidneys and bladder store water.


    According to the theory of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, one needs to reduce water to nourish wood and ignite wood to kindle fire!


    To prevent the Five Elements Spiritual Root in the human body from disrupting the original balance and leading to a weak body during the depletion phase, spiritual energy needs to be added from the outside to make up for the loss.


    In other words, at the beginning of the Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation, it¡¯s required to bring the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones into the bladder and kidney, and supplement it before the depletion of the Water Element Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai was a bit awkward when he first began practicing.


    But during the second run, he used his Divine Sense to control the spiritual energy m the Spirit Stones, accurately delivering it to the kidney and bladder area.


    About the time of an incense sticks¡¯ burning, most of the remaining spiritual energy was delivered to his liver and gallbladder, with the residue sent to his heart and the Triple Burner.


    Finally, he began practicing the One Yang Body technique, depleting water and wood to ignite fire.


    If anyone was in the cave dwelling, they would see a Xuan Guang light shining through Chen Mobai¡¯s clothes at his kidney and bladder area.


    The Xuan Guang light seemed like water, rippling across his abdominal muscles at an inclined angle, flowing into his liver and gallbladder.


    After the Xuan Guang entered, both the liver and gallbladder seemed to be activated, emitting a green Spiritual Light that rose like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart and Triple Burner area.


    A trace of a flame¡¯s phantom ignited at Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.


    But the rising strands of green spiritual light, like adding firewood to a fire, maintained the flame from extinguishing.


    Pitch-black Xuan Guang, emerald Spiritual Light, bright red flame.


    These three colors represent three types of spiritual roots, illuminating various parts of Chen Mobai¡¯s body. Following the Cultivation Method of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, they burn and glow, illuminating every part of his body, causing his originally calm blood and qi to start churning.


    Boundless spiritual energy continued to pour from his palm, the tri-color spiritual light constantly flickered. After about nine cycles of this.


    A ¡°crack¡± sound.


    Chen Mobai opens his eyes to see that the Spirit Stone he was holding was dim and even had a fine crack in the middle.


    This indicates that half of the spiritual energy has been consumed, and the Spirit Stone can no longer self-lock the spiritual energy.


    It needs to absorb the remaining spiritual energy in a short time; otherwise, it will dissipate on its own.


    Although this process is very slow, for any Loose Cultivator, it is as painful as cutting flesh.


    Chen Mobai, being such a frugal person, naturally wouldn¡¯t let the spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone slip away right in front of his eyes.


    He continued to grip it tightly, diligently cultivating the body of one Yang.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the Spirit Stone in his hand was completely emptied.


    For the Tianhe Realm, this is considered as trash now.


    But for the immortal world, it is an uppermost treasure for extracting dan toxins, the Spiritual Extract.


    After putting away the used Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai took out his long-unused ¡°Spirit-Testing Instruments¡± from his backpack.


    From the larger Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, he mobilized a stream of Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power and infused it.


    In a little while, a series of numbers illuminated on the small screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    There is no change at all!


    After careful comparison by Chen Mobai, he felt the rampant boiling of blood and qi in his body, this is indeed the state of entering the door of a One Yang Body as described in the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    He found it a bit strange and tested again.


    The result is still the same.


    However, he soon realized.


    If merely the first practice could lead to obvious changes in the Spiritual Root, then why would Ding Jinglue need to spend twenty years to cultivate the Three Yang bodies.


    Even a gifted person like Yan Bingxuan felt that she needed nearly ten years to complete the purification of the Ice Spirit Root.


    I must remain calm and patient.


    With the assistance of the Spirit Stone, according to the experience of predecessors, there will be changes within a month.


    Chen Mobai comforted himself in this way. Just as he was about to take out a new Spirit Stone to practice, an unexpected message suddenly flew in.


    He didn¡¯t dare to neglect it and immediately accepted it.


    Before his retreat, he had commanded Qi Er to notify him immediately if the


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger came to Yun Country.


    Chen Mobai thought it was about this matter, but after reading it, he found it was something else.


    Zhuo Ming had come out of her retreat.


    Qi Er ran into her and immediately informed him with a message.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about this task he had given to Qi Er..

    Messenger_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Miss Zhuo, long time no see.¡±


    At the stall position of the Southstream Market where talismans were displayed, Chen Mobai saw a woman in a yellow dress sitting on a small stool, selling some middle and low-rank talismans at the old spot. He walked over and greeted her.


    ¡°It¡¯s you. I didn¡¯t expect to see you again.¡±


    Upon hearing the voice, Zhuo Ming raised her head and saw Chen Mobai. She was slightly taken aback, then nodded and responded.


    ¡°As it happens, Miss Zhuo, you mentioned before that you are a Talisman Maker. I have some doubts about talisman making and wanted to ask for some advice.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask bluntly about Lu Shu¡¯s matter, but chose a more subtle approach.


    ¡°Oh, it seems that you are planning to join the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming showed some caution in her eyes. At this point in time, if talisman makers who are still in the Southstream Market, most of them are planning to join the sect.


    If she also wants to join the Divine Wood Sect, they naturally become competitors.


    ¡°That¡¯s true. This is the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ that Lu Shu gave me. He said mastering the basic talismans recorded in it would be more than enough to be accepted into the Divine Wood Sect. However, I¡¯m slow, and despite trying many times, I still fail to draw successfully as per the book. Could Miss Zhuo help me out?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words did not reveal his suspicion about Lu Shu, but effectively asked about the errors in the talisman strokes recorded in the manual.


    This kind of talent in rhetoric is inherent to him.


    His grandfather Tang Lu said Chen Mobai¡¯s talent would be a great loss for the imperial court if he didn¡¯t become an official.


    ¡°This book¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming saw the ¡®Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ that Chen Mobai took out, her eyes began to dodge, seeming to know something, but finally shook her head.


    ¡°You better ask Lu Shu. I haven¡¯t read this book and can¡¯t answer your questions.¡±


    ¡°Oh, the talismans you sell here are not made by you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite surprised and pointed at the Consciousness Talisman, Regeneration Talisman, and New Life Talisman displayed on Zhuo Ming¡¯s blanket. These were all basic talismans required for loose cultivators to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I have things to do today. I¡¯ll pack up first.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was embarrassed after being revealed by Chen Mobai. She directly packed up her blanket and talismans, carried her small stool, and returned to her cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stop her.


    At least, from Zhuo Ming¡¯s attitude, it showed that she probably knew there was something wrong with the ¡®Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ from Lu Shu¡¯s hands.


    ¡°I will take my time. Once I join the Divine Wood Sect, I will have plenty of time to convince her to speak up.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not in a hurry.


    He had just observed the talismans made by Zhuo Ming. If the Divine Wood Sect had indeed lost a good number of disciples in Yun Meng Ze, someone at her level, as long as her Spiritual Root Talent was not too bad, would also be accepted.


    Once they become fellow disciples, given enough time, Zhuo Ming will eventually reveal the truth.


    Chen Mobai was not affected by this incident.


    Since he came out of his cave dwelling, he visited the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop where spiritual herbs were sold and had a long chat with the shopkeeper.


    However, the Loose Cultivators who were tailing him in the market were getting a little anxious.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say he would be leaving soon?¡±


    ¡°It was the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger who left early. He should be on his way to Yun Country. He probably plans to join the Divine Wood Sect. After receiving the news, he must have stayed.¡±


    In the same alleyway, He Qun, looking very impatient, said to his fellow Qi Cultivation practitioners.


    ¡°What should we do? He doesn¡¯t leave the market and we can¡¯t make a move here.¡±


    ¡°What else can we do. You can only wait for him to leave the market.¡±


    After saying these words, He Qun waved his missing right hand, turned around and left.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    One of the Loose Cultivators was furious at his attitude. He tried to take action, but was stopped.


    ¡°Big Brother.¡±


    ¡°We can only wait. If we don¡¯t get a chance, then let it be.¡±


    Sighing, the two of them disappeared into the alley.


    After leaving the alley, He Qun made a few turns and entered a cave dwelling.


    ¡°Old Seven, what did the remnants of the Xuan Guang sect say?¡±


    ¡°What else can they say? They don¡¯t dare to make a move in the market, so they can only wait for the kid to leave.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a shame that the kid is too careful. He never left the Spirit Camel of the Luo family on his way back. We haven¡¯t found an opportunity either.¡±


    Except for He Qun, there were two more people in the cave dwelling.


    If Chen Mobai was here, he would definitely find out that these two were the Loose Cultivators who helped him fight against the demonic beasts on the Ice Breaking Ship of the Liu family.


    Chen Mobai thought that only He Qun survived from his team, but they had split up.


    ¡°What if he really joins the Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    One of the middle-aged men with a grim face asked.


    ¡°After the two brothers take the stuff, we will kill them and avenge the kid. Even if the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s investigation leads to us, they will reward us.¡±


    The youngest looking boy calmly said.


    ¡°Brilliant.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no idea about these undercurrents aimed at him.


    After leaving the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop, he learned that the Spirit Messenger of the Sect was one of the top three experts among the twenty-four true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    It was said that he had already obtained the Foundation Building Pill, but he felt that there were still some flaws in his state of mind. Therefore, he voluntarily undertook this Ferrying Spirit mission, looking for talents for his Sect, while also making the final summary of his Qi Cultivation career.


    Three days passed, and Chen Mobai noticed more and more unfamiliar faces in Southstream Market.


    Qi Er told him that these were Loose Cultivators who lived in various places in Yun Country. They came here to try their luck after receiving news that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger had set off.


    Chen Mobai tried to interact with a few of them, but found that some of them couldn¡¯t even draw the ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡±.


    Those with Zhuo Ming¡¯s talisman making skills were considered the elite among them.


    He then learned that this is how Loose Cultivators are.


    They were busy earning Spirit Stones, cultivating, fighting; they didn¡¯t have time to study the high-end Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal such as talisman making.


    While lamenting the harsh cultivation environment in Tianhe Realm again, Chen Mobai also understood why these Loose Cultivators were scrambling to join large sects.


    Cultivation techniques, elixirs, Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All of these things are incomplete among Loose Cultivators. Only in the sects and families do they have a complete inheritance.


    And if they want to go beyond Foundation Establishment and obtain the inheritance of the Rank-3 Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, the entire Eastern Wilderness only has the Seven Great Sects.


    While feeling the preciousness of knowledge in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai also felt fortunate that the knowledge in the Immortal Gate could be freely obtained. He was, in fact, lacking resources.


    Two more days passed.


    Finally, the Spirit Messenger of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Southstream Market amidst anticipation..

 Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Chapter 153 True Spirit Root_l

    Chapter 153: Chapter 153 True Spirit Root_l


    Translator: 549690339


    At the entrance of the Southstream Market, the stewards of the four major cultivation families were all gathered around two disciples in the teal uniforms of the Divine Wood Sect, nodding and bowing profusely.


    Chen Mobai squeezed into the crowd, carefully inspecting the two individuals who garnered such attention.


    ¡°Strange, why are there two True Disciples here?


    According to the information he had gathered earlier, it was supposed to have been the Third True Disciple, E Yun, who would be visiting.


    It was said that E Yun¡¯s appearance was ordinary and unassuming, but due to his devoted cultivation of the ¡°Longevity Sutra,¡± he was considered one of the most promising talents for Foundation Establishment among this generation¡¯s


    True Disciples.


    The two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, one male and one female.


    The man was elegant and handsome.


    The woman had rosy lips, bright teeth, and picturesque eyes. Although she seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, her potential for breathtaking beauty in the future was already apparent.


    Chen Mobai caught snippets of conversations that identified the man by the surname Yuan and the female by the surname Ding.


    If it¡¯s a Yuan, could he be Yuan Chiye, who is ranked eighteenth among the twenty-four True Disciples of this generation?


    As for the surname Ding, There are two true disciples within this generation including a woman who might be Ding Ying.


    Chen Mobai naturally gathered a lot of intelligence about the sect since he had decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    From what¡¯s made public by the Divine Wood Sect, there are two Gold Core elders at the highest rank, and twenty-four True Disciples at the lower rank.


    However, there¡¯s no precise number as to how many elders there are inside the sect who are at Foundation Establishment stage, with so many differing conjectures floating around.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm are so dedicated to working for their Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques every day that they have no spare time to collect and study this kind of information.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai managed to make an approximate computation based on what the Spirit Medicine Shopkeeper from the Divine Wood Sect in the market revealed.


    He said, approximately two to four out of the twenty-four True Disciples are capable of successfully Establishing Foundations in each generation.


    That means an average of three additional Foundation Establishment cultivators per decade.


    The Divine Wood Sect has been in existence for fifty years since its inception, so there are at least fifteen True Cultivators with established foundations as a base.


    But it¡¯s unknown how many Foundation Establishment cultivators were brought along from the Five Elements Sect and how many were lost in these years.


    Among the True Disciples of this generation, the three deemed most likely to Establish Foundations include E Yun.


    Since he never splits his focus by practising dual cultivation techniques, his spiritual power is extremely pure, hence why most people regard him as the True Disciple most likely to Establish Foundation first in this generation.


    But this isn¡¯t absolute.


    There were several instances where individuals who initially ranked lower among the True Disciples, surprised everyone and successfully established their foundations.


    A short time later, the two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were escorted by the four major cultivation families to the most central Sky Meal Building in the market.


    Chen Mobai waited in place for a while.


    About the time It takes to burn one stick of incense, Qi Er ran over.


    ¡°Senior, I have asked around, this E Yun, being the Third True Disciple, is highly regarded by many in the Divine Wood Sect for his potential to reach Foundation Establishment. That¡¯s why there are a lot of disciples who choose to attach themselves to him.¡±


    ¡°This time, he undertook a task as the sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger, but his primary aim is to prepare for his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he delegated the task of recruiting loose cultivators to these two disciples who are bound to him.¡±


    ¡°The male disciple from the Divine Wood Sect is Yuan Chiye, the Eighteenth True Disciple and the young looking lady is Ding Ying who seems to be a True


    Disciple too.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded.


    As long as the Divine Wood Sect still recruits loose cultivators, it doesn¡¯t matter who they send for recruitment.


    He isn¡¯t boasting, but although there are a good number of Qi Cultivation experts at the eighth or ninth layer in the market now, when it comes to creating talismans, he is definitely superior compared to these loose cultivators after six months of hard training at the Cinnabarite Institute.


    During that half a year, besides switching over to the Pure Yang Scroll, he sought guidance from Luan Jingsheng.


    With Luan Jingsheng¡¯s assistance, he immersed himself in studying the three fundamental talisman books.


    Not only could he now produce the five types of Life Talisman, but he was also able to produce the ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and the ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡± which Qi Rui had given him.


    If it weren¡¯t for the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡¯s¡± creation requires a unique ink for talisman making, available only at the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai might have already completed this high-end Rank-t talisman.


    Indeed, his thinking proved to be perfectly on point.


    After enjoying a hearty meal courtesy of the four major cultivation families, the two True Disciples appointed by the Divine Wood Sect proceeded in the afternoon to have their store cleared and prepared for the talisman making stage.


    Meanwhile, they occupied a vacant lot down the middle of the streets in the Southstream Market.


    One swipe from Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag sent a streak of light flashing across.


    Out of nowhere, a platform suddenly rose from the central space of the vacant lot, large enough to accommodate two to three people.


    ¡°Is that the ¡¯Spirit Root Testing Platform¡¯?¡±


    Qi Er, who was beside Chen Mobai, asked, an expression of anticipation in his eyes.


    There was no need to ask. Just by the name alone, Chen Mobai understood


    what it was.


    It should be the magic artifact used in the Tianhe Realm to measure a cultivator¡¯s Spiritual Root Attributes.


    Being so huge probably meant that it was faster and more precise compared to the spirit-testing instrument he had.


    just as Chen Mobai was thinking about it, the two representatives of the Divine Wood Sect made their way to one side. Immediately, disciples from the sect brought over two chairs and placed them behind them.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect opens its mountain gate wide to welcome all loose cultivators. As long as your Spirit Root is suitable and you have not committed any grave sins from the Demon Path, all are welcomed to enter our sect!¡± Yuan Chiye¡¯s proclamation was loud and clear, ensuring everyone on the street could hear it.


    ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin with the males and females of suitable ages from the four major families to test their Spirit Roots.¡±


    The moment his words fell, the four prearranged queues began to move forward.


    With either anxious or anticipatory feelings, one by one, they stepped onto the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    The first one up was a youngster from the Liu family.


    It seemed like someone had briefed him previously as he instantly sat cross-legged on the Spirit Root Testing Platform as soon as he got up there, beginning to meditate and circulate his Spiritual Energy.


    About two to three minutes later, just as Chen Mobai was getting bored and about to yawn, the Spirit Root Testing Platform lit up with a four-colored light. ¡°False Spiritual Root of four elements: Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire.¡± Seeing this, although Yuan Chiye shook his head slightly, he still gave the Liu family some face by signaling for the youngster from the platform. He extended a hand and checked the youngster¡¯s bone age.


    ¡°Aged sixteen, Qi Cultivation at the third layer, borderline acceptable for our sect.¡±


    Hearing this, a heavy burden seemed to have been lifted off the face of the leader of the Liu family, reflected in the form of a relieved smile.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat puzzled; didn¡¯t they still have to pass the talisman-making assessment? Yet from the looks of it, it seemed as if the youngster had already secured a spot in the Divine Wood Sect.


    But what surprised him even more was the crude construction of this Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    Can¡¯t it read out the Spirit Root Attribute values?


    Chen Mobai thought he may be misunderstanding something, so he continued to observe.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As the second, third, and fourth individuals stepped onto the platform, the Spirit Root Testing Platform continued to shine only according to their Five Elements Spiritual Root, revealing the Spirit Root Attributes of the individuals but not their specific values.


    He had a full understanding now. It seemed that the spirit-testing instrument in his bag might be considered quite ahead of its time in the Tianhe Realm.


    After all the individuals from the four major families had been tested, the best Spirit Root discovered was a Three Spiritual Root from the Liu family.


    In this round, Yuan Chiye recruited thirteen disciples, and seemed to be pretty satisfied with the only individual bearing a three attribute True Spirit Root. Not only did he ask him to stand by his side, but he also assured the head of the Liu family in a friendly manner that the next time the Divine Wood Sect has surplus Foundation Building Pills, they would consider inviting their family to bid for it.


    Next up, it was time for the Spirit Root testing of the loose cultivators..

    Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Top Talent_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai looked around and found that everyone was hesitant.


    He found it rather strange, but after putting himself in the shoes of these Loose Cultivators, an understanding dawned upon him, and he realized their feelings.


    From the moment these people embarked on the Path of Immortality Cultivation, they understood the importance of the spiritual root.


    Being able to become a cultivator meant that they all possessed a spiritual root. However, this spiritual root could either lead them to ascend to immortality or plunge into hell.


    They wanted to know their spiritual roots through the Spirit Root Testing Platform but also harbored a fear of discovering they had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes, which could dim their prospects in the Path of Immortality Cultivation.


    In such a dilemma, a lull fell upon them for a while.


    However, Chen Mobai knew his own spiritual root talent. If he were in Xian Men, he would have been the first to finish the test and go up the stage straight away.


    But this was the Tianhe Realm, where drawing attention was the last thing he wanted.


    He held back, waiting for the first Loose Cultivator to come forward, one eager to attract the attention of the two True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    As expected, after about a stick of incense¡¯s worth of time passed, Yuan Chiye noticed that no one had yet stepped onto the stage, which made him furrow his brow.


    ¡°If there¡¯s no one willing, then this Spirit Root Testing will come to an end. Those who don¡¯t test their spiritual roots cannot participate in the next round of talisman evaluations.¡±


    As soon as he said this, someone finally couldn¡¯t help but step forward.


    A robust, bald, and eyebrow-less man came forward. After paying respects to Yuan Chiye, he carefully stepped onto the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    Following the example of the people before him, he sat cross-legged and breathed in and absorbed the spiritual energy.


    Then, a five-color light shone brightly.


    ¡°False Five Elements Spiritual Root, disqualified.¡±


    ¡°Senior Yuan, I¡¯m at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. M-my spiritual root couldn¡¯t be this poor. Could you perhaps try to read my bones again?¡±


    This bald man¡¯s face turned pale when he saw the light of his spiritual root, but he ran in front of Yuan Chiye without giving up, extending his right hand.


    ¡°The eighth level of Qi Cultivation, huh? Alright then, you may participate in the next round of talisman evaluations.¡±


    Yuan Chiye did not read his bones again. He nodded, signaled the bald man to step down, and gestured for the next person to come up.


    Seeing this, many of the Loose Cultivators present believed the rumors that had been circulating in the market recently.


    The Divine Wood Sect lost quite a number of disciples in Yun Meng Ze, and it really seemed like they were planning to recruit more people this time.


    Normally, those with False Five Elements Spiritual Roots would definitely be eliminated. But someone at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation could finish quite a few sect tasks, and they were being given a second chance.


    As such, the remaining Loose Cultivators at the later stages of Qi Cultivation all enthusiastically took to the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    But the results surprised Chen Mobai greatly; they all had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes.


    ¡°This is strange, how can this be?¡±


    ¡°Senior, these people who can advance to the later stages of Qi Cultivation have experienced multiple recruitments by the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect. They have tested their spiritual root talents long ago. And the talents with True Spiritual Roots have been picked off in the previous recruitments.¡±


    Qi Er¡¯s words enlightened Chen Mobai.


    All his previous thoughts were mistaken. It wasn¡¯t that these people didn¡¯t dare to take the stage due to the fear of discovering their poor spiritual root talents.


    They already knew that they had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes. And most of them were overage and did not meet the recruitment requirements of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, knowing they will get eliminated, thus they did not step forward.


    However, thanks to the recent rampage of the demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, the Divine Wood Sect seemed to have suffered considerable losses and were loosening their requirements towards these Loose Cultivators in the later stages of Qi Cultivation this time.


    But there was no certainty as to how the talisman evaluations that were coming up would be.


    While Chen Mobai was pondering this, the Loose Cultivators at the later stages of Qi Cultivation were nearly finished with their tests. They were indeed all possessing False Spiritual Roots, which made Yuan Chiye shake his head repeatedly.


    In the end, he didn¡¯t even bother to watch. He began to chat with the disciple who was looking after the Divine Wood Sect Shop.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader hadn¡¯t demanded that we recruit more people this time, basically none of these people would have been able to enter our sect.¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not entirely a bad thing. After all, these Loose Cultivators have cultivated to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, each with some useful skills. They can never hope to reach the Foundation Establishment, but they would be perfect to replenish our team in Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    One of the shopkeepers from the Magic Instrument Shop said laughingly.


    ¡°Well, would you look at that. There¡¯s a hidden gem.¡±


    Suddenly, the young-looking female True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect spoke up in surprise.


    Yuan Chiye, who was chatting leisurely, immediately turned to look and saw a handsome young man sitting on the Spirit Root Testing Platform, practicing Qi cultivation.


    White light, green light, and black light shone!


    It¡¯s actually a True Spiritual Root of three attributes!


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s eyes brightened, and he stood up.


    ¡°What¡¯s the background of this Loose Cultivator?¡±


    The shopkeeper of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Dan Medicine Shop promptly got up and reported to Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°He¡¯s a Loose Cultivator who appeared in Yun Country just last year. Some time ago, he also went to our Sect¡¯s Green Light Island Market in Yun Meng Ze and was very lucky. He managed to escape after the island was destroyed by demonic beasts.¡±


    ¡°Ah, so he escaped from the ruins of Green Light Island.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    As a true disciple, he certainly knew about the brutal conditions at the Green Light Island battlefield. The Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff sacrificed two Foundation Establishment elders to buy time for most of their disciples to retreat via the Teleportation Array.


    The fact that this person managed to survive in such a battlefield without a doubt demonstrated his exceptional abilities.


    ¡°Can we investigate this person¡¯s initial experiences in cultivating immortality clearly?¡±


    Although the Divine Wood Sect was not as strict as the Five Elements Sect in recruiting Loose Cultivators, they would still conduct a basic background investigation. Doing so was to prevent someone sent by another Sect from stealing their cultivation technique.


    ¡°He did mention that when he was a child, he fell into a great lake while fishing, accidentally entered a Water Mansion, and thus obtained the method of immortal cultivation.¡±


    The foreshadowing in Chen Mobai¡¯s previous conversation with the shopkeeper of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spiritual Medicine Shop was revealed. Chen was thinking of confessing the Water Mansion as his own after joining the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, the Water Mansion used to belong to the Five Elements Sect and no one had come to retrieve it at this point. Therefore, as a sect derived from the Five Elements Sect, the Divine Wood Sect is also entitled to claim ownership of this Water Mansion.


    Once he joined the Divine Wood Sect, wouldn¡¯t this Water Mansion become rightfully his?


    Considering that the Divine Wood Sect had so much unused spiritual land in Giant Tree Ridge, they would certainly not care about this small Water Mansion.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai stepped off the Spirit Root Testing Platform and walked toward Yuan Chiye.


    After the spiritual root testing, there was still the bone reading and cultivation level check.


    ¡°Very good. You¡¯re only nineteen and are already at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and you possess a True Spiritual Root.¡±


    After the bone reading, Yuan Chiye seemed even more pleased.

    ¡°With your cultivation speed, this True Spiritual Root is definitely of high quality. It might even be close to a top-tier Dual Elemental Spiritual Root. You don¡¯t need to participate in the talisman evaluation.¡±


    Yuan Chiye directly confirmed the qualifications for Chen Mobai¡¯s admission.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked by this. He knew he only possessed a most ordinary trinity spiritual root, which lacked a few points from being considered a Four Element Spiritual Root.


    Why did Yuan Chiye¡¯s words start to disagree with the Spiritual Root Certificate given by Xian Men¡¯s large medical institute?

 Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Oh No, I Became a Genius_l

    Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Oh No, I Became a Genius_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai was unaware of the significance of his tri-attribute True Spirit Root.


    But after all the cultivators in Southstream Market had gone through the Spirit Root Testing Platform, he finally understood.


    Surprisingly, he had the best outcome.


    Not a single person in the entire Southstream Market possessed a Spiritual Root with more than three attributes.


    Even among those with a tri-attributed Spiritual Root, barely six individuals could be counted.


    Excluding him and the young lad from Liu family, among the remaining three Loose Cultivators who were tested, one had a bone age of over thirty with only Qi Cultivation of the third level, considered by Yuan Chiye to possess a tri-attributed Spiritual Root close to being a False Spirit Root.


    Normally, possessing a tri-attributed Spiritual Root should allow direct entry into the sect, but after Yuan Chiye¡¯s assessment, the Loose Cultivator was asked to participate in the second round of talisman examination. Only if the results met the standard would he be permitted to join the sect.


    Although a little annoyed, the Loose Cultivator could only reluctantly accept the decision from the True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among the remaining two, one was merely a six-year-old boy, the son of a pair of Loose Cultivators, with cultivation only as high as the first level of Qi Cultivation.


    However, Yuan Chiye judged his Spiritual Root to be quite good, so he made a reservation for him outright.


    He gave the boy a token from the Divine Wood Sect, so that he could present it for identity verification when the Spirit Messenger arrived again in ten years. After that, he would be able to directly enter the sect.


    Chen Mobai wondered why they didn¡¯t directly recruit the boy into the Divine Wood Sect. Weren¡¯t they afraid he¡¯d be taken by another sect the next time around?


    Not wanting to directly ask Yuan Chiye, he instead asked an old acquaintance standing nearby¡ªthe shopkeeper of Shenmu Spirit Drug Store.


    ¡°In Yun Country, only Five Elements Sect dares to snatch candidates from us, Divine Wood Sect. However, our relationship has been mellow for the past two decades. Just for a tri-attributed Spirit Root disciple, they wouldn¡¯t stoop so low as to perform such contemptible actions.¡±


    ¡°Apart from that, even if he is taken away, it merely represents that the boy does not have a fate with our sect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only a measly tri-attributed Spirit Root; if it¡¯s taken away, so be it.¡±


    This speech, revealing the breadth of mind befitting the Divine Wood Sect¡ªa major sect in the Eastern Wilderness¡ªleft Chen Mobai admiring and rethinking his decision to join this sect.


    ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect that this year we could find three suitable talents in our Southstream Market. Disciple Chen, if you manage to establish your foundation successfully within our sect in the future, don¡¯t forget about me¡ª your old friend.¡±


    The shopkeeper of the Shenmu Spirit Drug Store was named Yu Tian. He was also someone who entered the sect as a Loose Cultivator, his cultivation level was just barely at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. There was basically no hope for him to receive a Foundation Building Pill.


    But he had been diligently contributing to the sect for his whole life in order to fight for a chance to establish foundation, even without a Foundation Building Pill.


    That¡¯s why Yu Tian had always been looking for an opportunity to return to Giant Tree Ridge. Because the Spirit Vein there was prosperous, that was undoubtedly an excellent place to self-cultivate foundation establishment.


    However, due to his lack of connections in the sect, he¡¯d been having problems getting approved for his transfer back.


    But seeing that Chen Mobai had the best tri-attributed Spiritual Root, and having the potential to shine in the sect, he could possibly become a true disciple in the next round, Yu Tian sparked a bit of hope and immediately tried to make friends.


    ¡°Not at all, I¡¯ve just entered the sect. I haven¡¯t even become a True Disciple yet, let alone establishing my foundation. The words of Elder Brother Yu have overstepped.¡±


    Back in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai always strove to maintain a low profile.


    Originally, he thought with his talent, which was close to a False Spirit Root, he could moderately exert himself during the talisman examination and achieve a medium-grade result to get into the Divine Wood Sect. He could avoid drawing attention to himself while having a chance to learn and communicate in this major sect of the Eastern Wilderness. It would be a win-win situation.


    Who would have thought that the Spirit Root testing artifact in the Tianhe Realm was so crude that with his age and cultivation level, he would be misinterpreted by Yuan Chiye as a genius with a True Spirit Root.


    As a result, his low-profile strategy was off to a wrong start.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I was wrong before. I hope you¡¯ll look out for me in the sect in the future.¡±


    At this time, the last of the Loose Cultivators with a tri-attribute Spiritual Root from the Southstream Market came over.


    It was Zhuo Ming.


    Her beautiful and captivating face carried a touch of unease, her eyes filled with both excitement and trepidation.


    Excitement, because she had a tri-attributed Spiritual Root, and she was only twenty-four years old.


    Not to mention, an impressive cultivation level of Qi Cultivation of the fifth level, reaching the minimum standard for direct admission into the sect.


    After her Spiritual Root result came back and her bone age was verified by Ding Ying, Yuan Chiye directly dismissed her from the talisman examination the following day, allowing her to be directly enshrined in the sect records.


    Although Zhuo Ming was consumed by excitement in that instant, upon seeing Chen Mobai, who was chatting and laughing with Yu Tian, she remembered her previous refusal of him, and immediately felt as though she¡¯d been doused with a bucket of cold water.


    Having dwelt among Loose Cultivators for so many years, she naturally understood social norms.


    This Chen Mobai was clearly the most talented individual in the Spirit Root evaluation of Southstream Market this time, and had already caught the eye of the two True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, he was already in the later stages of Qi Cultivation. Once he joined the sect and received the resources of Divine Wood Sect, he could very possibly become one of the twenty-four True Disciples in the next round.


    Given his age and aptitude, there¡¯s a possibility he could receive a Foundation Building Pill in the future.


    And if he could get a Foundation Building Pill, then there would be a chance for Foundation Establishment.


    Foundation Establishment¡ªis the ultimate goal of all Loose Cultivators.


    Therefore, Zhuo Ming was extremely anxious, even if she too had been accepted into the Divine Wood Sect.


    She was well aware that Chen Mobai, possessing such talent, had a high probability of becoming a True Disciple. But her, she would probably end up like Yu Tian, spending her whole life maybe only managing to handle the sect¡¯s market shop.


    Having offended a potential True Disciple even before entering the Divine Wood Sect, Zhuo Ming felt her future prospects had already turned bleak just by thinking about it.


    ¡°Not at all, Miss Zhuo¡­Elder Sister¡­Junior Sister, there¡¯s no conflict between us. Since we all come from Yun Country¡¯s Nanxi, once we join the sect, we certainly must support each other.¡±


    Chen Mobai had initially thought that Zhuo Ming was younger than him, but when Ding Ying measured her bone age, she turned out to be twenty-four years old.


    By age, he should be calling her elder sister.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, respect is given to the level of cultivation, and so, Zhuo Ming can only be his older junior sister.


    He had these changes in his address turning on the tip of his tongue for a while, before he got it right.


    However, his grown-up words led the nearby listeners to misunderstand.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking of inviting Zhuo Ming for a meal later to inquire about Lu Shu, another person approached him.


    The young man from Liu family, Liu Wenbo, came over under the leadership of his elders, kindly greeted Chen Mobai, and respectfully called out ¡°Elder Brother.¡±


    It was as if Zhuo Ming had set the example. The tri-attributed Spirit Root boy named Shen Wei also came over, led by his parents, to mix and familiarize himself.


    Even some Loose Cultivators who had clearly failed the talisman examination also came over to pay their respects to Chen Mobai.

    Hence, Chen Mobai, who had not even been to the Giant Tree Ridge yet, suddenly became the leader of this batch of Divine Wood Sect disciples from Yun Country¡¯s Nanxi.


    His plans for maintaining a low-profile instantly failed.


    Chen Mobai even noticed the deep and thoughtful expressions in the eyes of Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying¡ªtwo True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect¡ªletting out a silent cry of disaster in his mind.


    He thought they were dissatisfied with his behavior of forming cliques as soon as he entered the sect.


    Darn, how did I end up becoming a genius!

 Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Hidden Truth_l

    Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Hidden Truth_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Not bad, he reminds me of Brother Zhou. It¡¯s like having an interesting junior brother among the true disciples in the next session.¡±


    Yuan Chiye asked the young girl beside him, receiving an answer he did not expect.


    ¡°Brother Zhou? He is the next prospective leader of the Divine Wood Sect, and you¡¯re already rooting for this Chen Guixian.¡±


    ¡°The next leader? He has to reach Foundation Establishment first.¡±


    ¡°Hehe¡­¡±


    Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t continue the conversation. He merely laughed it off.


    The next day.


    The site for the talisman assessment was ready, and all the loose cultivators who passed the first round of the spirit-detecting test came in one after another. Under the guidance of the representatives of the four major families who helped maintain order, they sat down in an orderly manner.


    As soon as the tasks of guiding spirits throughout Yun Country were completed, Chen Mobai was accepted and Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Yun Country would take them to the Divine Wood Sect.


    He didn¡¯t even have the leisure to look at those miserable faces.


    Fortunately, Zhuo Ming did not need to take part in the talisman examination either.


    So the two of them found a place and started discussing matters regarding Lu Shu.


    ¡°He also gave me this ¡®Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect,¡¯ but before that, I had already received the cultivation book that included the Regeneration Talisman, Consciousness Talisman, and New Life Talisman. When I took it back and compared them, I found the trick.¡±


    As soon as Zhuo Ming opened her mouth, she confirmed that the talisman guide Lu Shu gave Chen Mobai had indeed been tampered with.


    ¡°Did you confront Lu Shu about this?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to do that. At that time, I was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, and he was already in the late stages of Qi Cultivation. I just pretended not to know and thanked him every time he gave me a book.¡±


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that he was also deceived and actually doesn¡¯t know there¡¯s a problem with this talisman guide?¡±


    ¡°Humph! I originally thought so too, but one day I saw him give a talisman guide that was exactly the same to another loose cultivator setting up a stall. If he was being deceived, would he buy two error-filled books? I thought he was a loose cultivator who loved to help others. It turns out he¡¯s so sneaky.¡±


    Hearing Zhuo Ming say this, Chen Mobai nodded.


    If it really was like this, Lu Shu was damaging the ecosystem of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recruitment of loose cultivators in this way.


    How precious the knowledge of the Tianhe Realm is, he knew that.


    Offering incorrect talisman guides for free would undoubtedly damage the future of the Divine Wood Sect in the shortest possible time.


    ¡°Does Junior Sister have any idea why Lu Shu would do this, based on your observation?¡±


    ¡°I think he might be from the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s tone was hesitant, but her expression was firm. After some thought, Chen Mobai felt there was a lot of sense in her words.


    Indeed, the Five Elements Sect was the most likely, the most suspicious, and the least afraid of the Divine Wood Sect discovering and retaliating against them.


    ¡°Sister, do you think we need to report this to the two true disciples?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, Zhuo Ming hesitated, then immediately shook her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to pretend not to know if we want to survive in the world of immortal cultivation over the long run. It¡¯s better to feign ignorance about certain things.¡±


    This was also why she didn¡¯t tell Chen Mobai about this in the beginning.


    Who knows what Lu Shu¡¯s origins are. She didn¡¯t want her resentment towards him to lead to a possible cause for revenge in the future when he possibly hears about it.


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to report this to the two true disciples, say it was your own discovery. Don¡¯t involve me.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless with disbelief. The customs of the Tianhe Realm were truly conservative.


    However, he couldn¡¯t criticize Zhuo Ming for it because he himself also acted in the same way.


    However, because he had been placed in the spotlight, being hailed as the leader of this session of Yun Country South Creek Divine Wood disciples, he couldn¡¯t possibly keep a low profile anymore.


    He may need to show off a bit in the future.


    Just as well, he wanted to become a true disciple and compete for Foundation Establishment Pill.


    ¡°Since Junior Sister has such sentiment, I naturally won¡¯t expose you.¡±


    When the talisman-making assessment ended, Chen Mobai handed over the Divine Wood Sect talisman guide in his hand to Yuan Chiye. When Yuan Chiye read through it, his eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement.


    Being a true disciple and assigned the important task of coming to Yun Country to guide spirits, both his vision and insight are of top choice.


    He didn¡¯t need Chen Mobai to point it out, he understood the malicious plot hidden behind this incorrect book.


    ¡°No wonder the talisman-making skills of the loose cultivators in this session are a whole grade worse than the previous session. If it wasn¡¯t for the sect leader lowering the expectations, I¡¯m afraid I would¡¯ve eliminated eighty percent of the loose cultivators.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head, his eyes solemn, and asked Chen Mobai seriously: ¡°Who else knows about this matter besides you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, since Lu Shu directly gave me this book. Perhaps he also gifted the others in the market the same book, but for the specific details, you¡¯ll have to ask the other loose cultivators.¡±


    There were no discrepancies in Chen Mobai¡¯s words, and Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t notice any ambiguity either. After Yuan Chiye nodded, he put the ¡°Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect¡± into his bag.


    ¡°It just so happens that the mission of guiding spirits here at South Creek Market has ended, and I have to make a trip to visit Uncle Dan¡¯s residence. I¡¯ll report this matter on the way. Before instructions from senior management arrive, act as though this matter never happened. Even if you run into the man who gave you this book, remain ignorant and greet him with a smile.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Brother Yuan.¡±


    The two true disciples, who originally planned to rest for the night, did not delay and left South Creek Market in the night, heading north.


    ¡°I have some time now. I should return to the Water Mansion to have a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already successfully mastered the method of lifting the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition recorded in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes. If it wasn¡¯t for the matters of joining the Divine Wood Sect being too important, he would have returned earlier.


    Now he had to wait for about half a month, waiting for Yuan Chiye and the others to complete the task of guiding spirits in the other three directions of Yun Country, before he could go to the Giant Tree Ridge.


    He could take this time to accomplish something he had been longing to do.


    This was a problem that had been troubling him since he arrived in the Tianhe Realm.


    What exactly is in those two side halls?


    After a night of cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body, a spirited Chen Mobai left South Creek Market in high spirits.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally waited for this day!¡±


    The loose cultivator that has been hanging around the market gate saw Chen Mobai¡¯s receding figure and squinted his eyes, then activated a Communication Talisman.


    Not long after, another loose cultivator arrived.


    ¡°Brother, he¡¯s left.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, do we really have to do this? He is now a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. If we kill him, even if we join the Golden Cliff, once it¡¯s exposed, we¡¯re likely to be killed in return.¡±


    ¡°Brother, we could simply rob him of his casting sword ring and not kill him. He¡¯s originally a loose cultivator, he must be someone who knows the ways of the world.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Ultimately, the temptation of the casting sword ring was too great, or perhaps they had gotten used to the rapid wealth escalation brought about by plundering and couldn¡¯t resist. They gritted their teeth and pursued the direction in which Chen Mobai had left.


    Not long after they left, He Qun and his two blood brothers appeared.


    They all laughed sinisterly.


    The mantis stalks the cicada, oblivious of the oriole behind!


    Everything is theirs..

 Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Reaching Consensus—1

    Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Reaching Consensus¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai left Southstream Market and arrived at a barren mountain.


    Just as he was about to rest, two streaks of sword light suddenly attacked from behind him, shining brightly and incredibly dazzling.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    Chen Mobai was no longer the novice in magic duels he once was. From his sleeve, two Wooden Shield charms flew out, transforming in an instant into two cyan light shields, blocking the path of the sword light.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    To his surprise, the two streaks of sword light directly pierced through the two Wooden Shield charms without any hindrance.


    ¡°It¡¯s two masters!¡±


    Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression changed, and he dared not to be indifferent any longer.


    The Water Elemental Shield moved at his thought, transforming into two whirlpools, appearing in the path of the sword light, enveloping it, and dissipating its sharp and powerful spiritual power.


    But at that very moment!


    A sword humming sounded.


    The sword light split from one into two. As the Water Elemental Shield blocked the two of them, the other two lights took a curved path and struck towards Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder blades.


    [They didn¡¯t aim for my vitals. Do they not want to kill me, or are they hesitant?]


    Chen Mobai had this thought flash across his mind at that moment.


    While he activated the Wood Armor Talisman and Golden Light Talisman that he held in his hand,


    In the other hand, he waved his sleeve, and a blue scarf handkerchief flew out.


    With three defenses activated all at once, he finally managed to block the two streaks of sword light that was right before his eyes.


    Amid the ¡®Bang! Bang!¡¯ sounds,


    Chen Mobai involuntarily stepped back twice.


    The spiritual power contained in these two streaks of sword light was so powerful that even his three defenses could not completely dissipate it.


    Compared to the magic duels during the entry exams at the immortal academy, it was opponents on a whole different level of strength.


    Chen Mobai compared it with the most formidable opponents he had ever encountered, Gong Xiangyu, Yan Feng.


    He realized that even if those two joined forces against him, they did not pose as big a threat as the sword light just now.


    It¡¯s not that the sword lights were more potent than the Sea Sword Qi cast by the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, but rather that the individuals who attacked him far surpassed the students of the immortal academy in terms of battle experience, judgement, timing, and control over their swordsmanship.


    Chen Mobai felt at ease and confident when dealing with foes from the academy, but when faced with these two streams of sword light, he had to put in an extra effort to block them.


    ¡°Who dares to attack a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect like me!¡¯


    Chen Mobai estimated that if the opponents were hesitant about him, it could only be because of the identity he had just acquired.


    ¡°Humph, nobody knows if we kill you in this desolate wilderness.¡±


    Two skinny loose cultivators appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight, one tall and one short, wearing straw hats and having their faces wrapped in black cloth, showing only a pair of eyes. They held two longswords in their hands.


    ¡°Fortunately, they¡¯re both paupers.¡±


    On seeing that they were not manipulating flying swords but holding longswords in their hands, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    If it were flying swords against him, neither his Defensive Talisman nor his magical artifact would be able to resist them for long.


    ¡°Respected seniors, I¡¯m just a mere loose cultivator as well, carrying only twenty spirit stones on me. If you need some wealth to ensure safe passage, please take them and spare my life.¡±


    Even without flying swords, judging by the proficiency shown by those two streaks of sword light just now, it can be concluded that these loose cultivators, who had to remain undercover, were at least cultivators in the late stage of qi cultivation.


    Moreover, they were noted among cultivators for their potent combat strength


    ¨C they were sword cultivators.


    Chen Mobai felt that he was not their match, so he first thought of reaching consensus with them through dialogue.


    He untied a cloth bag tied around his waist, opened it, and directly tossed it in front of the two men on the grassland.


    With a ¡°Ting, ting, dong¡± sound, chunks of spirit stones rolled out from the open bag, where the twinkling spiritual light instantly attracted the two cultivators¡¯ attention.


    However, they quickly regained their senses, raised their swords, and aimed at


    Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand.


    -Respected seniors, what do you mean by this? Do you want one of my hands?¡± Chen Mobai could not accept that. If this were the case, he would have to fight for his life.


    ¡°No, we want the Casting Sword Ring you¡¯re wearing!


    The taller cultivator, referring to the brass ring worn by Chen Mobai, opened his mouth.


    ¡°Casting Sword Ring?¡±


    Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looked at the brass ring he wore on his finger, and realized that the magical artifact was indeed named in this way.


    Is it a famous magical artifact?


    ¡°Respected seniors, I can give it to you, but please also give me an assurance that after you take it, you must not harm me in any way.¡±


    Although, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to part with the brass ring he had only used once, but compared with his safety, this item could be given up.


    ¡°Okay, we can agree to your condition, but you must also agree to one of our conditions.¡±


    ¡°Please proceed.¡±


    ¡°We will take our Casting Sword Ring and leave, and you should not look into the origins of us two because of this incident. Even if you learn about them, the three of us cannot harm each other.¡±


    This was something the two brothers had discussed in advance.


    The best way would be to loot by killing.


    However, both brothers had ambitions. With the Casting Sword Ring, they had a good chance of joining the Golden Cliff.


    Golden Cliff had a Sword Tomb Questioning Heart stage; if one had done harm to Golden Cliff in their heart, they would be unable to pass the stage.


    Since Golden Cliff and the Divine Wood Sect had a well-known relationship throughout the Eastern Wilderness, if they directly murdered and robbed, they would be the ones at fault; if their actions were exposed, Golden Cliff would undoubtedly execute them for the sake of its reputation. Hence, they didn¡¯t want to kill the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Nor did they want to kill Chen Mobai, the genius talent who had remarkable spiritual roots and was likely to succeed in the future.


    However, if they didn¡¯t kill Chen Mobai, this genius would possibly retaliate against them when he reached a high cultivation level in the future.


    Therefore, they also wanted Chen Mobai to make a promise.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s all make a solemn oath.¡±


    While Chen Mobai was unaware of the twist and turns in the two brothers¡¯ minds, he did grasp the idea that they didn¡¯t want to kill a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    While marveling at how useful the cover of a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness was, he also took off the brass ring he was wearing.


    As the three of them looked at each other and were about to swear an oath with their hands raised,


    A faint sound of thunder suddenly echoed.


    ¡°Good heavens, there¡¯s an accomplice after all. Indeed, the people here are all crafty villains!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that the two cultivators deliberately deceived him, waiting for him to take off the ring before attacking.

    However, he immediately saw that the lightning flashing from the distance indiscriminately fell on all three of them.


    Uh!?


    At the moment of his surprise, the brothers¡¯ expression changed as well. They thought Chen Mobai had known about the situation and had called for reinforcements.


    They combined their two swords, the sword qi circulating, vanquishing all the blue lightning at the roadside and prompting charred marks on the grassland. ¡°In my thirty years in the Eastern Wilderness, I¡¯ve never come across people like you.¡±


    He Qun walked over with his two sworn brothers ¨C they looked disturbed, obviously startled by the scene where Chen Mobai negotiated with the two men just now..

 Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismanl

    Chapter 158: Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismanl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°He Qun!¡±


    Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    So, Lu Shu didn¡¯t lie to him, this guy was indeed a problem.


    ¡°You¡¯re biting the hand that feeds you!¡±


    The Loose Cultivator brothers¡¯ expressions changed dramatically upon laying eyes on He Qun and his two companions. It was clear they hadn¡¯t anticipated He Qun daring to tail them.


    But when they saw the two people emerging from behind He Qun, they understood his motivations.


    ¡°You South Mountain Thieves are still not completely wiped out in Yun Meng Ze!¡±


    Chen Mobai recognized the three men He Qun was with, even though he didn¡¯t know the names of the other two, he had seen them before.


    They were the advanced Qi Cultivators invited aboard the Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship to deal with the Demonic Beasts.


    He didn¡¯t know the exact relationship these two Loose Cultivators had with the trio of He Qun, but after hearing their conversation, he had a rough idea in mind.


    It seems he exposed himself to He Qun and the others by using this brass ring on the Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship, which triggered today¡¯s situation.


    In the end, it was because he had not been careful enough.


    ¡°Lei Da, Wang Liu, there are only three of you South Mountain Thieves left today. I¡¯m afraid seizing both us brothers and this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect simultaneously won¡¯t be an easy task.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say a word, he simply quietly put his brass ring back on his hand.


    Meanwhile, the Loose Cultivator brothers started signalling him with their eyes, intending to form an alliance.


    ¡°Kan Xiu, Kan Ping, you both might have mastered sword techniques, but without a Flying Sword, you are no match for me.¡±


    He Qun remained silent and made way for the young man nicknamed Lei Da to step forward.


    ¡°Let¡¯s stick to the rules. Once we get hold of the Casting Sword Ring, you will naturally receive your share.¡±


    Upon seeing Lei Da stepping up, Kan Xiu spoke up, seemingly indicating weakness as if acknowledging he was not an opponent.


    ¡°That works.¡±


    Lei Da appeared to ponder for a while, then nodded his head and pointed at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then, start by killing him.¡±


    ¡°We just need to get our hands on the goods, whether we kill him or not, does it really matter?¡±


    Kan Xiu furrowed his brows. He knew that if they killed Chen Mobai today, a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect with an outstanding Spiritual Root Talent, they would be forever held hostage by these South Mountain Thieves, even if they did manage to join Golden Cliff.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have a say in that. If you don¡¯t kill him, we¡¯ll kill you first, then kill him.¡±


    During the conversation, Lei Da took out a magic artifact shaped like a drum.


    ¡°Thunder Drum!¡±


    Upon seeing this artifact, Kan Xiu¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Chen Mobai felt that the tide of battle was starting to tilt in favor of He Qun¡¯s party.


    This situation was not sustainable. If the opposing party reached a consensus, his death would certainly follow.


    ¡°Gentlemen, if we three join forces, we may not win, but escaping with our lives should be a breeze.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately spoke up.


    ¡°Brother, I follow your lead.¡±


    Kan Ping nodded at Kan Xiu and after sighing, he pointed his sword at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai, who had been prepared, did not hesitate to take out his trump card.


    It was a sealed green talisman.


    A lower-grade Rank-2 ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±.


    He had already experienced the abilities of the two Loose Cultivators. If dragged into a lengthy battle, he undoubtedly couldn¡¯t triumph over two opponents.


    Moreover, even if he did manage to achieve victory, there were still the three watchful men at his side.


    If he wanted to survive, he had to defeat his opponents as quickly as possible to reduce their number, and ideally wipe them out all in one swoop.


    He had been prepared to risk his life the moment He Qun¡¯s party appeared. Using the energy absorption technique, he clutched the talisman in his palm and infused it with his spiritual power.


    Now that the talks had broken down and the Kan brothers drew their swords on him, he did not hesitate or feel any regret.


    He directly unleashed his most potent talisman!


    Boom!


    Without a doubt, it was a Rank-2 talisman. Even though it was only lower-grade, its power equated to a fully-focused spell of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    The moment Chen Mobai threw the talisman, strands of green lightning sprung forth, transforming into a sky full of wildly dancing streams of green current in the blink of an eye. It appeared like an Azure Dragon sweeping through the Kan brothers, reducing them to charred remains.


    At this point, the power of this talisman was only one-tenth unleashed!


    Chen Mobai could feel his divine sense being severely drained amidst the rapid consumption of his spiritual power. He started feeling dizzy after only a brief moment, but he still mustered his energy, controlling the remaining power of this talisman and aimed it at the position of He Qun¡¯s group.


    Rumble!


    The green electric current danced wildly, bringing with it an immensely destructive power capable of leveling a hill, and descended upon Lei Da.


    Lei Da¡¯s face changed dramatically, but he clung onto the Thunder Drum with both hands, putting all his strength into striking it.


    A loud thunderous noise echoed as a bolt of blue thunderbolt burst forth like a silver serpent, colliding with Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±!


    After a burst of intense light, the Water Elemental Shield of He Qun and the Heart Protecting Mirror of Wang Liu both erupted with incredible spiritual light, trying their best to neutralize the power of the Divine Thunder Talisman.


    After almost two minutes of the fierce havoc wreaked by the Azure Dragon electric current and the silver serpent thunderbolt, the deserted hill finally quieted down.


    Lei Da violently coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    But he still managed to survive, relying on his Rank-2 magic artifact.


    However, when he turned his head, his eyes turned red with rage.


    He Qun was lying down, barely breathing, while Wang Liu¡¯s Heart Protecting Mirror was shattered, its fragments scattered all over the ground.


    Turning to look at Chen Mobai¡¯s former position, Lei Da realized it was already empty.


    The latter had already fled in a random direction while the Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman wreaked havoc.


    ¡°Damn it, kid, I¡¯ll grind him to dust.¡±


    Directing Wang Liu to carry He Qun, Lei Da lit a piece of Tracking Incense, fixed the direction where Chen Mobai had fled, and angrily gave chase.


    Just as they began their pursuit, a tall man dressed in black suddenly appeared, blocking their path.


    ¡°Who goes there?¡±


    Despite his fury, Lei Da hadn¡¯t lost his cool. He sensed that the man in front of him was likely a peak Qi Cultivator similar to himself.


    If it were a normal situation, he would not fear any peer, especially given his possession of a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    But after barely surviving a ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±, and with his strength reduced by almost one-third, he had to proceed with caution.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to interfere originally in the fights and fights between you Loose Cultivators.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The man in the black robe lifted his head, revealing an ordinary face with unusually bright eyes.


    Lei Da thought of a person.


    ¡°My name is E Yun, and you guys shouldn¡¯t be laying hands on a disciple of my Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    This isn¡¯t good!


    Just as Lei Da was about to flee, E Yun stretched out his hand towards him..

 Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Opening the Water Mansion_1

    Chapter 159: Opening the Water Mansion_1


    Translator: 549690339


    After using the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±, Chen Mobai did not hesitate. He applied two Godspeed Talismans directly and fled towards the location of the Water Mansion.


    Of course, before he left, he did not forget to retrieve the Spirit Stone Bag that he had thrown away.


    It had been hard-earned, after all.


    While on the run, terrified of being caught by the South Mountain Thieves, Chen Mobai managed to take refuge in the Water Mansion amidst his anxiety.


    Having secured the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation, he felt slightly reassured knowing he could rely on this Rank-2 Formation.


    Feeling his Dantian Qi Sea nearly devoid of spiritual power, Chen Mobai, without wasting time, immediately slapped on a Rank-1 Resurrection Talisman onto himself.


    He managed to recover his full state in the shortest possible time.


    He also held onto his phone, prepared to retreat back to the Immortal Gate at any signs of the enemy breaking the Azure Water Formation.


    After anxiously waiting for half a day, he discovered that no enemies had shown up.


    This made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    However, he still did not dare to let his guard down. While maintaining the Azure Water Formation at maximum power, he began preparing to decipher the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition on the remaining two side halls.


    If the South Mountain Thieves attacked, his plan was to grab whatever was inside the side halls and teleport away immediately.


    Chen Mobai had practiced Liu Yanpei¡¯s recorded decryption techniques so often during his half year at the Cinnabarite Institute that they were second nature to him.


    However, having never tested them in a real situation, his first attempt to crack the prohibition ended in failure.


    But this was mostly due to Chen Mobai¡¯s restlessness and hesitation.


    Before his second attempt, he meditated for a quarter of an hour using the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, calming his mind and spiritual power before calmly applying the decryption techniques.


    A clear ¡°click¡± sound resounded in his ears.


    Chen Mobai saw the lighting arc that was originally enveloping the side hall doorway flicker and fade until it disappeared completely.


    The disappearance of the prohibition seemed to trigger the doorway mechanism, and under his anticipating gaze, the door slowly opened.


    A wave of warmth hit him in the face.


    Finally, he saw what was inside.


    It was a cultivation area designed in a specific way.


    Around it was a trench dug to flow clear and bright water ¨C the source of which was unknown.


    And surrounded by the trench was a mound of soil, covering an area of about five to six square meters.


    The soil was different from what he usually saw; it was actually red. Chen Mobai could feel the warmth emanating from it where he stood by the door.


    Within the red soil, four bamboo stalks were planted.


    Their bodies looked like green jade, tall and straight, their leaves like swords, leaving golden and silver edges barely visible.


    Chen Mobai took a look and saw one gold and three silver; these should be the Gold-Edged and Silver-Edged Jade Bamboos mentioned in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes.


    It was fortunate that this side hall created an environment suitable for the Jade Bamboo to grow. Otherwise, they probably would have all withered after several decades.


    Chen Mobai used a coin to test and confirmed that there were no other prohibitions inside before walking in. As he carefully observed the four Jade Bamboos, he also reached out and touched the sole Gold-Edged Jade Bamboo.


    He saw that this bamboo seemed to have absorbed most of the spiritual energy over the years and grew the most robustly. Even a flower bud was at the top.


    As his hand touched the bamboo, Chen Mobai felt a pure and strong spiritual energy swirling in each node.


    He squatted down and brushed through the red soil around the Jade Bamboo, indeed discovering six or seven bamboo shoots.


    Liu Yanpei¡¯s main task in the Water Mansion was to cultivate these Jade Bamboo shoots, along with the Azure Blood Carp. They were favorite spiritual ingredients for a certain Gold Core Elder within the Five Elements Sect.


    But since Chen Mobai had already eaten all the Azure Blood Carp, he wondered if these bamboo shoots also possessed the ability to enhance spiritual roots?


    Without delaying, Chen Mobai used the methods noted in Liu Yanpei¡¯s records to dig up all the emerging Bamboo shoots, and after sealing them with red soil and water, he placed them in a preservative bag he had prepared earlier.


    After extracting the bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai stretched out his hand to also pluck all the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves, stacked them one by one and put them into two other boxes.


    As soon as he knew that Liu Yanpei might be cultivating Jade Bamboo in the side hall of the Water Mansion, he began to search for the uses of this spirit plant.


    There is a shop in Southstream Market run by Green Bamboo Ridge that specifically sells jade bamboo-related products.


    Chen Mobai casually asked around and obtained the information he wanted.


    Jade bamboo shoots are a delicacy in the mortal world.


    The bamboo leaves can be used as talisman paper, silver-edged bamboo leaves are rank-1 talisman paper, and gold-edged bamboo leaves are rank-2 talisman paper, which can be perfectly used to refine Crimson Flame Sword Talismans.


    The bamboo flowers are also a kind of spiritual medicine, but if you wait for the bamboo flowers to yield fruit and turn into bamboo seeds, even if you don¡¯t refine them, consuming them directly can clear your vision and increase your divine sense.


    The remaining bamboo poles, bamboo hearts, and bamboo roots also have their uses, but to obtain these, you need to cut them down.


    The education he received since childhood in the Immortal Sect taught Chen Mobai not to randomly chop down flowers and plants. Who knows, they might be protecting the Spirit Plant?


    Although this place is the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai feels that cutting down these Jade Bamboos is somewhat a waste, at most they can be sold as raw materials.


    It¡¯s better to keep them for seed, and you can harvest jade bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, bamboo flowers, and bamboo seeds every year.


    Of course, if the Water Mansion were to be breached, Chen Mobai would definitely toughen up.


    But for now, sustainable development is the main priority.


    He put the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves into two separate boxes, then, along with the fresh-keeping bag containing the jade bamboo shoots, stored them in his backpack and exited to open another side hall.


    But this hall was completely empty, with only a cushion in the center.


    It seemed to be Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation room.


    After walking in and making a round, confirming there were no hidden compartments, Chen Mobai left a little disappointed.


    He returned to Earth, taking the Jade Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo leaves with him.


    Then, unable to contain his excitement to showcase his culinary skills, he cut a jade bamboo shoot in half, and after slicing it, fried it in oil with the bacon he brought from Green Mountain Village.


    A bowl of sauteed bamboo shoots with meat made Chen Mobai finish a whole pot of cooked Spirit Rice.


    Fragrant, tender, crisp, delicious¡­


    He had never eaten such a delicious dish before.


    After eating satisfactorily, Chen Mobai did not forget to take out his Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 28, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    As expected, his Wood Spirit Root increased by 1 point.


    It¡¯s unknown whether it will decrease later like the Azure Blood Carp, or if there is a maximum limit.


    Even though he was already full, for the sake of comparison, Chen Mobai still directly sliced and ate the remaining half of the Jade Bamboo Shoot raw.


    To see if frying it would affect the effects of the Jade Bamboo Shoot.


    After eating, he tested it again with the Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    Wood 29.


    There was no effect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai waited for another night, and tested it again the next morning, and indeed found that it had dropped.


    It went back to Wood 28.


    He was a little disappointed, but instantly he had a thought.


    It just so happened that his cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body would damage his liver and gallbladder. If the Jade Bamboo Shoot could replenish this in advance.


    Is there a possibility¡­.

 Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: The First Sun Formsi

    Chapter 160: The First Sun Formsi


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Chen Mobai wondered if the fluctuating Spiritual Root Attribute Points due to hts diet could be used to offset the damage to his Spiritual Roots from cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body without affecting his original Spiritual Roots.


    No sooner said than done.


    He held onto a Spirit Stone and began cultivating One Yang Body.


    Two days later, looking at the data displayed on the Spirit-Testing Instrument screen, Chen Mobai was both delighted and somewhat disheartened. [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 29, Fire 20, Earth 10] Progress was finally made in the phase transformation of his One Yang Body. The Spiritual Root Attribute Points of Wood and Water each lost 1 point, while the Fire Spirit Root grew by 3 points.


    However, the temporary 1 point increase in his Wood Spirit Root from eating half a piece of jade bamboo shoots was not consumed by his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Ideas are good, but reality said otherwise.


    These temporary increments in Spiritual Root points, while deceiving the Spirit-Testing Instruments, can¡¯t ¡°deceive¡± the Pure Yang Daoist Body. But this was of no major concern.


    Chen Mobai still felt happy about the progress he had made with his One Yang Body. 5


    According to experienced practitioners in Auxiliary Cultivation, each level of Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation could increase Fire Spirit Root by up to 9 points.


    Chen Mobai was using Spirit Stones for the transformation, which was the most efficient method. If he made no mistakes, by the time he completes the Three Yang Body, his Fire Spirit Root could increase to 44 points.


    At that point, not only could the chances of Foundation Establishment be increased by 10%, but the time for practicing fire spells could also be significantly reduced.


    Cultivating One Yang Body requires 9 Spirit Stones.


    He had already used 3, making him a third of the way through the One Yang Body.


    It took nine days.


    That is to say, in about a month¡¯s time, he could complete One Yang.


    However, the ¡°Pure Yang Daoist Body¡± is notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master.


    When it comes to Two Yang Body, it requires 90 Spirit Stones.


    Three Yang Body, it requires 900 Spirit Stones.


    In other words, Chen Mobai needs to prepare a thousand Spirit Stones to complete the practice and prepare for Foundation Establishment.


    However, the number of Spirit Stones for the Three Yang Body was, for him still acceptable.


    After all, he had access to the teleportation channels of both Tianhe Realm and Di Yuan Star. As long as he transported goods diligently, earning a thousand Spirit Stones should not be a problem.


    The amount of Spirit Stones required from Four Yang to Six Yang was astronomical for Chen Mobai.


    However, it could be because he is still a Qi Practitioner. Perhaps once Foundation Establishment is achieved, it may not feel that much.


    Moreover, the leading figures in Auxiliary Cultivation speculated that the best way to progress from Four Yang to Six Yang is to use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    From Seven Yang to Nine Yang, it¡¯s best to use upper-grade Spirit Stones. One high-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones. Just the thought of it made Chen Mobai scratch his head.


    Such resources were impossible to obtain in the Immortal Sect.


    Could it be possible that the Spirit Stone Mine controlled by the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm could produce high-grade Spirit Stones?


    However, compared with other practitioners of the Pure Yang Scroll, at least he has the hope that he could significantly reduce the time by using resources. For other cultivators in the Immortal Sect, after the Three Yang Body, they all rely on slowly absorbing and transforming Spiritual Energy on their own for progress.


    Dreaming of cultivating with Spirit Stones was a wishful thinking. For the following eighteen days, Chen Mobai did not go to the Water Mansion nor did he go out.


    He stayed home and successfully completed the cultivation of the One Yang Body in one fell swoop.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10] Looking at the spiritual root attribute points displayed on the spirit-testing instrument, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Seven jade bamboo shoots provided a permanent increase of seven points to his wood spirit root, but the One Yang Body reduced it by three points. In addition, three points were lost from his water spirit root, in exchange for a nine-point increase in his fire spirit root.


    The resources he spent for this were only nine lower-grade spirit stones. These depleted spirit stones could still be used as spiritual extracts, letting Qing Nu further refine the dan poison for reuse.


    After completing the One Yang Body, Chen Mobai made further progress in his cultivation of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±, reaching the fifth level of Qi Cultivation. However, if he wanted to cultivate the Two Yang Body to upgrade his fire spirit root next, it would take him 270 days, or nine months, at the rate of one spirit stone every three days.


    For the Three Yang Body, it would be 2700 days, or seven and a half years.


    That is to say, he would be stuck at this stage for eight years.


    Chen Mobai had no choice in this matter. This rate of progression was already the fastest in the Immortal Gate. Moreover, he estimated that he would probably need the same amount of time to advance to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Most people who cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll usually don¡¯t have spirit stones and rely on slowly grinding spiritual energy instead.


    It took Ding Jinglue twenty years of hard cultivation to achieve the Three Yang Body.  6


    He could only hope that after breaking through the next Cultivation Realm, the speed of refining spirit stones would increase.


    Chen Mobai was very clear about his own situation. The Daoist Academy gives


    its students a school term of ten years.


    As long as he succeeded in building the Foundation Establishment within ten years, he wouldn¡¯t have to serve in the military service.


    So, he set a small goal for himself: to achieve Foundation Establishment success within ten years.


    With this mindset, Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts became clear.


    He glanced at the date and realized it was almost time to report to the Dance


    Tool Dao Academy, so he booked a train ticket on his phone.


    Then, he figured that the situation in the Tianhe Realm should have died down by now. They couldn¡¯t possibly be hunting him for a month, right?


    He teleported into the Water Mansion once again.


    This time, when he returned, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    Outside the Water Mansion, there was a ¡°Message Talisman¡± floating.


    Someone had found this place!


    Chen Mobai immediately grabbed the Array Flag and checked the Azure Water Formation. Finding no signs of attack, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    He only let the ¡°Message Talisman¡± in after fully unleashing the Array¡¯s power and confirming that there were no issues.


    [The Guiding Spirit mission in Yun Country has been completed. In seven days, Single Uncle Master will be coming to Southstream Market to take you to Giant Tree Ridge. Remember not to be late, otherwise you¡¯ll have to march back to the sect on your own.]


    [- Yuan Chiye]


    Chen Mobai was surprised. He wondered how this true lineage member had managed to locate this Water Mansion.


    That being said, none of that mattered. He quickly checked the time and found that he wasn¡¯t late. There were still two days left. He breathed a sigh of relief.


    Chen Mobai immediately packed his bag and was about to head to the Southstream Market when he stopped abruptly.


    What if the South Mountain Thieves were still outside looking for him and happened to ambush him on the only way back to Southstream Market? What then?


    A cautious Chen Mobai stood hesitating.


    In the end, he gritted his teeth, found a Donghuang map in the study left by Liu


    Yanpei, and located Giant Tree Ridge on it.


    It was in Jian Country, right next door to Yun Country, and he would need to cross three thousand miles to get there.


    It would be time-consuming. He might need three months if he went over mountains and through rivers. However, for safety¡¯s sake, he decided not to go back to Southstream Market.


    Furthermore, who knows? He might find a teleportation array in some cultivator market along the way to shorten the distance.

    Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai relaxed a bit.


    With the One Yang Body completed, he planned to try taking the Fire Clearing


    Pill that Qing Nu had created to improve his divine sense.


    Entering the side hall for cultivation, Chen Mobai sat on the cushion. He was about to take the pill when he sensed that something was off.


    Why was the spiritual energy here so dense?

 Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: Taking the Fire Clearing Pill_l

    Chapter 161: Taking the Fire Clearing Pill_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes.


    He took out the mobile phone by his side and opened the app that measures spiritual energy.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 89]


    How could this be? This is already at the value of a high-tier Rank-2 Spirit


    Vein.


    Chen Mobai thought there was a problem with the software, so he restarted it.


    After placing it on his crossed legs, he tested it again, but the value surprisingly rose by two points.


    His eyes widened. He sprang up, picked up his phone, and walked around the edges of this cultivation-specific side hall.


    He finally discovered that the closer he was to the meditation mat, the higher the spiritual energy value became.


    The peak was nearing 100.


    ¡°Could this mat be a treasure?¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself. Not daring to be negligent, he gently picked up the mat.


    Then he placed it on the ground of the outer hall and measured it with his mobile phone again.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 60]


    It was not because of the mat, so there must be something mysterious within this side hall.


    After a careful procedure of elimination, Chen Mobai found he was closer to the


    truth.


    He returned to the side hall and placed the mobile phone where the mat used to


    He measured the spiritual energy again.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 93]


    ¡°It¡¯s here.¡±


    Chen Mobai confirmed that the vibrant spiritual energy almost at Rank-3 was surging from this spot.


    It seemed clear that Liu Yanpei was aware of this, hence he placed the meditation mat here. It was even possible that this cultivation room was specifically made for this purpose.


    So, what exactly caused such abundant spiritual energy in this place?


    Filled with curiosity, Chen Mobai lightly tapped the floor tile at this spot.


    Thud, thud, thud, followed by a series of knocks¡­


    He found a hollow brick and lifted it with his suction technique.


    in an instant, an even more vigorous and powerful spiritual energy gushed out.


    It even transformed into a visible white mist, rising like a spirit snake.


    Chen Mobai glanced at his phone screen.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 112]


    Surprisingly, it had reached the level of a lower-level Rank-3- Could this place be the source of the Spirit Vein for the entire Water Mansion?


    Bending over, he waited for the mist of spiritual energy to dissipate, and the spiritual energy value to fall back to the Rank-2 level. Finally, Chen Mobai saw the full view under the brick.


    It was an empty space, housing a palm-sized, round, black iron plate. In the center of the plate, a transparent spirit stone was embedded.


    Chen Mobai recognized it. This iron plate must be the location of the Array Plate of the Azure Water Formation.


    He had no idea it was hidden here.


    The Azure Water Formation had the ability to ¡°gather spirits,¡± but even so, it wouldn¡¯t cause the leap from a Rank-2 Spirit Vein to a Rank-3 spiritual energy concentration.


    The reason must be the Spirit Stone embedded in the Array Plate.


    After confirming that the Array Plate was fine, Chen Mobai put his hand on the transparent Spirit Stone, faintly flashing with multicolored light from its interior.


    As soon as he touched it, he felt something extraordinary.


    Unprecedentedly potent spiritual energy surged into his arm¡¯s meridians and acupuncture points, turning his arm¡¯s skin red.


    This was a phenomenon caused by his body unable to withstand such a powerful spiritual energy.


    Chen Mobai immediately let go of his hand, feeling the numbness in his arm after being filled with powerful spiritual energy, his eyes were burning intensely as he stared at the spirit stone embedded on the array plate.


    If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, this should be a high-grade spirit stone.


    Only the spiritual energy contained in a high-grade spirit stone could be so powerful.


    After all, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.


    That is to say, the source of the Spirit Vein and the source of spiritual power for the Azure Water Formation of the water mansion all relied on this high-grade spirit stone embedded on the array plate.


    Was it necessary to go to such lengths just to eat a fish and bamboo shoots? Given Liu Yanpei¡¯s status, he definitely couldn¡¯t have access to a resource like high-grade spirit stone.


    Only the gluttonous Gold Core master from the Five Elements Sect could afford to give a high-grade Spirit Stone, specifically for creating a suitable environment in Lake Azure Cloud for cultivating Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots.


    After hesitating for a long stint, Chen Mobai eventually placed the pavement stone back.


    He also wanted to take this high-grade spirit stone, but doing so would basically ruin this water mansion.


    He guessed that the jade bamboo in the neighboring wing would stop growing due to the lack of spiritual energy, and the power of the entire Azure Water Formation would diminish drastically due to losing its source of spiritual power. He had some fondness for this water mansion and couldn¡¯t bear to see it destroyed.


    In addition to that, there was a more important reason, this high-grade Spirit Stone had already been activated and its spiritual energy was constantly leaking.


    Yet, due to the restraint of the Azure Water Formation¡¯s array plate, the rate of this leakage was kept within a controllable range. It formed a good interaction with the water vein of the Azure Waves Lake.


    Perhaps after a hundred years, a Rank-2 high-grade Spirit Vein could be cultivated from it.


    If Chen Mobai were to remove this high-grade spirit stone from the array plate, without the restraint of the Azure Water Formation, it would be like carrying a moving spirit vein.


    Walking around, especially in such an environment as the Tianhe realm, it would be blatantly advertising to Loose Cultivators that he carries a treasure and it would invite them to rob and kill him.


    ¡°I will go back and check the data to see if there¡¯s a way to seal the open high-grade Spirit Stone again.¡±


    Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai moved the meditation cushion back onto the array plate.


    He sat down cross-legged and consumed a bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit


    Water.


    The spiritual energy, far richer and purer than before, was constantly gushing out from beneath him. He refined it along the route of Five Elements Cultivation and incorporated it into the large spiritual power vortex in the Dantian Qi Sea.


    Half a day later, Chen Mobai, who had completed cultivating the Five Elements, again put into motion Chic Robe True Man¡¯s transformation technique, beginning to convert the Five Elements¡¯ spiritual power into Pure Yang Scroll spiritual power.


    In this round of cultivation, his efficiency indeed improved a bit than before.


    The addition of the Fire Spirit Root greatly sped up his conversion of Five Elements spiritual power.


    After nearly two hours, Chen Mobai slowly ended his cultivation.


    Feeling his Five Elements Cultivation maintaining its progress at the Qi Cultivation¡¯s seventh level, he took out Qing Nu¡¯s ¡°Fire Clearing Pill contentedly.


    This is one of the very few spirit pills in the immortal gate that can increase divine sense targeted at Qi Practitioners.


    Qing Nu had already told him about all the taboos and refining methods for taking the medicine. Chen Mobai checked them one by one in his mind, confirmed that his spirit and body were at a peak state, opened the vial, and poured out a pill.


    It was a green pill.


    But originally it was pure white. Qing Nu knew Chen Mobai disliked the taste of medicine, so after its creation, she purposely coated it with a sugar layer. This not only sealed its medical taste but also improved its rather plain taste. Naturally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know this. He just felt that the ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± was aptly named since it was indeed green.


    He opened his mouth to take it, and then swallowed it with warm water brought from home.

    The medicinal property of the Fire Clearing Pill has to slowly dissipate on an empty stomach within half an hour.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes and used his divine sense to carefully sense it.


    A little while later, he felt waves of coolness rising from his abdomen, flowing into his heart, getting burned by the heart flame, then seeping into the sea of his consciousness.


    The Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique started operating.


    In his contemplation, the green paulownia seedling, originally with only two tender buds, seemed to receive the nourishment of a drizzle. It sprouted another green bud again..

    Water Mansion.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Green Paulownia seedling on his desk. This Spirit Wood, located in this Spiritually rich place, had already grown its third leaf.


    It was remarkably similar to the Jade Paulownia he was contemplating within his Divine Sense.


    The efficacy of the Fire Clearing Pili was indeed extraordinary.


    After consuming one, his stable Divine Sense unexpectedly increased by a fifth. The third leaf bud on the seedling under contemplation quickly grew under the boosting effect of the pill¡¯s potency.


    His Divine Sense had directly breached into a level, advancing prematurely into a realm equivalent to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Now, his Divine Sense could not only observe the Qi Sea in his Dantian but even extend it to his internal organs. However, if he wanted to scan every nook and cranny of his body along the meridians, he was still somewhat incapable. Considering the astonishing effects of the Fire Clearing Pill, Chen Mobai wanted to directly swallow the entire bottle that Qing Nu had given him. Unfortunately, even though this pill didn¡¯t possess toxicity, it could only be consumed once every seven days.


    Chen Mobai could only suppress the excitement in his heart and water the Green Paulownia seedling.


    This Spirit Wood would continue to grow as long as it was in a place abundant in Spiritual Energy.


    Since he brought it to the Water Mansion, he had never moved it.


    But its growth was extremely slow. Despite being a year, it had only just grown another leaf.


    Chen Mobai wondered if he should transplant it from the pot to the heap of red soil in the side hall.


    But after some consideration, he decided not to risk disrupting the Jade Bamboo¡¯s growth environment and abruptly transplant a new Spirit Wood.


    Just when Chen Mobai was preparing to return to the Immortal Gate.


    Suddenly, there was a movement in the Azure Water Formation.


    The entire Formation seemed to be slightly ripples. It appeared as if someone was striking at the formation from outside.


    Chen Mobai was alarmingly startled. He rushed out of his study, grabbed the Array Flag with one hand and his phone with the other.


    He thought it might be the South Mountain Thieves at his door, but under the defense of the Rank-2 Large Formation and knowing the source of spiritual power of the formation was a top-grade Spirit Stone, he felt assured and did not retreat to the Immortal Gate at once.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the Array Flag and walked out of the Water Mansion¡¯s gate, and through the thick ripples on the lake¡¯s surface, he saw only the ambiguo¡¯us figure of a person standing on the water.


    It seemed that the person had a way to see Chen Mobai encased within the formation and fired a Spirit Talisman towards him.


    Chen Mobai initially did not want to let this Sound Transmission Talisman into the formation but then noticed that its style looked familiar.


    Did it look similar to the Sound Transmission Talisman that Yuan Chiye used before?


    He recalled another incident, quickly waved the Array Flag, and accepted the Spirit Talisman.


    [We¡¯re only missing you. We¡¯ll be returning to the Giant Tree Ridge tomorrow, aren¡¯t you regretting joining our Sect?]


    It was indeed a True Disciple from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai slapped his forehead. He never expected that people from the Divine Wood Sect would come knocking at his door first.


    He waved the Array Flag and parted the water surface. Standing inside the mansion, he peered at the person on the lake; it was his younger-looking female senior apprentice, Ding Ying.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Ding, I was pursued by the South Mountain Thieves awhile ago, and it was by extreme effort that I managed to escape back here. I feared they would attack me on my way back to the market, so I didn¡¯t dare to go out.¡± Once Chen Mobai confirmed it was a True Disciple from Divine Wood Sect, he began to complain immediately.


    Upon hearing this, Ding Ying tilted her head and let out a laugh, then swung her right hand that was behind her back to reveal two severed heads, throwing them in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Upon closer inspection, Chen Mobai realized they were two members from the South Mountain Thieves who had tried to kill him.


    One of them was indeed He Qun, his eyes wide open, unresigned even in death.¡±


    ¡°Many thanks, Sister Ding, for helping me. I won¡¯t express my immense gratitude, but if there¡¯s anything you need in the Sect in future, don¡¯t hesitate to command me.¡±


    Chen Mobai was full of gratitude. Regardless, he showed his attitude right away.


    However, the Ding Ying opposite him waved her hand, indicating it was not her merit.


    ¡°It was Elder Brother E who personally took action and eradicated your troubles. However, Lei Tao, who was leading, escaped with an intermediate grade Rank-2 Spirit Talisman.¡±


    ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry about Lei Tao seeking vengeance. Elder Brother E is very concerned with his reputation, so him letting Lei Tao slip away has actually aroused his competitive spirit.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Elder Brother E has taken this matter as the last worldly concern before his Foundation Establishment and is currently pursuing the chief of the South Mountain Thieves thousands of miles away.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    Even though he knew joining a large sect would provide him with substantial backing, he hadn¡¯t expected E Yun, the third-ranked True Disciple, to personally take action and remove his trouble.


    However, this was definitely a good thing.


    He had previously considered crossing Yun Country to go to Giant Tree Ridge, but now, he could simply follow the main squad.


    ¡°Thank you for Elder Brother E¡¯s help.¡±


    Chen Mobai paid his respects towards the void, just to show his manners.


    ¡°Hurry up and pack your things and come with me. Everyone else arrived at South Creek Fang Market three or four days ago. If it wasn¡¯t for your special Spiritual Root Talent, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have made a special trip to notify you.¡±


    Ding Ying rolled her eyes as she spoke, seeming to think that Chen Mobai shouldn¡¯t have made her go to such trouble.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even consider inviting Ding Ying into his Water Mansion for a cup of tea. After all, there were quite a few precious things inside, so it was best not to reveal them to outsiders.


    After coming down, he only grabbed his backpack, then directly closed the Water Mansion and maximized the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Ding Ying didn¡¯t care about what Chen Mobai¡¯s Cave Dwelling looked like. After seeing him come up, she took a green leaf out from her storage bag.


    With a pinch of her cherry lips, she gently blew onto it.


    The green leaf fluttered in the wind, transforming into a Green Leaf Boat.


    ¡°Get on.¡±


    Ding Ying jumped on first. Chen Mobai had initially thought it was a Device for Reservoir crossing, but once he got on, he realized that it was his lack of experience.


    This Green Leaf Boat, surprisingly, lifted them both into the sky.


    Fortunately, he was not afraid of heights and had flown before. After taking a few deep breaths in mid-air, he quickly adjusted to the sensation of suddenly taking off.


    Ding Ying looked surprised at this.


    Even among the True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, not everyone owned a Flying Artifact.


    The first time a cultivator flies into the sky, they would at least tremble in fear Chen Mobai, however, remained calm and composed. Could it be that he had experienced a Flying Artifact before?¡±


    However, she didn¡¯t bother to think too much about it.


    Chen Mobai was also afraid of making mistakes by speaking too much, so he


    kept his mouth shut the whole way.


    The two were silent during the journey and arrived within the South Creek Fang Market¡¯s range about half an hour later.


    Ding Ying called back the Green Leaf Boat, landing it on a barren mountain in front of the market.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone know I have a Flying Artifact.¡±


    After saying this, she headed towards the market.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly nodded in acknowledgment and followed her.


    Indeed, the South Creek Fang Market was filled with many unfamiliar Loose Cultivators.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    These were the new disciples admitted into the Divine Wood Sect by Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying after their talent assessments throughout Yun Country this month.


    Chen Mobai counted roughly a hundred people.


    Clearly divided into four groups, they were standing in the central plaza of the Fang Market.


    As he approached, one group immediately surrounded him.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, you¡¯ve finally arrived..¡±

 Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: Yu Lian, Luo family’s brother and sister_l

    Chapter 163: Yu Lian, Luo family¡¯s brother and sister_l


    Translator: 549690339


    The first to come forward was the genius of the Liu family, Liu Wenbo.


    In the absence of Chen Mobai, as a child of a prestigious family and possessing the excellent talent of having three spiritual roots, he has garnered the support of the majority of the loose cultivators, effectively becoming their leader.


    ¡°junior Brother Liu, are all these people loose cultivators recruited from other places in Yun Country by our sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai joined the Divine Wood Sect for cultivation and Foundation Building Pills; he had no interest in power struggles.


    ¡°Yes, there are four Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country. Ours here in South Creek is the closest to the Divine Wood Sect, so it has become the assembly point for this departure.¡±


    Although Liu Wenbo has already rallied most of the loose cultivators in South Creek Fang Market, he still held the same respectful attitude towards Chen


    Mobai as before.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, then chose a less crowded place to sit down.


    Liu Wenbo was a bit confused by his actions.


    Wasn¡¯t this man supposed to be power-hungry?


    However, since Chen Mobai was not stepping up, he could only grit his teeth and return to his original position.


    Above the streets of South Creek Fang Market, cultivators who stood out among the four major Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country and joined the Divine Wood Sect, distinctly stood in four clusters.


    Among them, a cold-faced youth in black clothes led the group on the east side.


    The group on the west side was crowded around a male and a female cultivator, both in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    The group on the north side was a disorganized bunch, haphazardly arranged.


    And naturally, the group on the south side represented South Creek Fang Market. Many people who were standing behind Liu Wenbo looked hesitant when they saw Chen Mobai approaching, some even ran over to him directly.


    ¡°Why are you coming over here?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised to see the person who came over.


    It was Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Among us, you are the one who most resembles a True Disciple. Pm siding with you now, so if you successfully establish your foundation in the future, it¡¯ll be a major accomplishment for me too.¡±


    Zhuo Ming lifted her pretty face and spoke her true feelings without hesitation.


    ¡°Oh, you just believe in me like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that Liu Wenbo wanted him to step up to face disciples from the other three directions. He had decided to be cautious in the Tianhe Realm, especially after surviving series of attacks from loose cultivator swordsmen and South Mountain Thieves. Now, Chen Mobai wanted nothing but to enhance his Cultivation Level and establish his foundation.


    He was not interested in such troublesome matter that would obviously drain much of his energy.


    ¡°Of course, you have the best talent among us, at such a young age you¡¯ve already reached the seventh level of qi cultivation. If I don¡¯t have faith in you, who else should I have faith in?¡±


    Zhuo Ming glanced at Liu Wenbo while speaking.


    Chen Mobai just smiled and didn¡¯t mind her words.


    At that moment, another five or six loose cultivators came over and greeted


    him.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t shun them, but calmly nodded.


    In a short while, nearly half of the loose cultivators who were initially beside


    Liu Wenbo had come over to his side.


    Even if Chen Mobai wanted to keep a low profile, his extraordinary talent revealed when testing his spiritual root, along with the attitude of being personally brought here by a True Disciple of Divine Wood Sect, made many loose cultivators who resented the cultivation families automatically pledged themselves to him.


    It seemed that Liu Wenbo had already anticipated this, his face did not change as he calmly stood at the front of the team.


    He has good composure in dealing with things.


    Chen Mobai silently thought.


    ¡°Are there any people I should pay special attention to?¡±


    A sentence reached Zhuo Ming¡¯s ear, and she immediately pointed to a stern-looking young man in black attire and a boy and girl standing at the front of two other groups.


    ¡°His name is Yu Lian, a dual spiritual root prodigy. He¡¯s already accomplished the eighth level of Qi Cultivation and is favored by Senior Brother Yuan. 1 heard that Uncle Shan also intends to take him under his wing and pass down his mantle.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the stern-faced youth, realizing that this person was probably Divine Wood Sect¡¯s greatest gain during this Ferrying Spirit Mission in Yun Country.


    ¡°Is he a loose cultivator or from a distinguished family?


    ¡°He hails from a small sect. His master passed away three years ago, making him the sect leader. However, for his Foundation Establishment, he boldly decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai squinted slightly, took a closer look at this Yu Lian, then motioned towards the poised-looking boy and girl.


    ¡°They are the prodigies of the Luo family. The boy is Luo Yixiu, and the girl is LUO Yixuan. Both are tri-spiritual root. The former has reached the eighth level of Qi cultivation and the latter, the seventh level. They¡¯ve always been raised at Tianfeng Mountain, the Luo family headquarters. It¡¯s unclear why they were allowed to leave and join the Divine Wood Sect this time.


    Zhuo Ming might seem disinterested, but she had already thoroughly researched the talented geniuses among the four Fang Markets in Yun Country over the past few days.


    ¡°Are there not many people coming from the north?1


    Chen Mobai then pointed towards the disorderly group of people. Zhuo Ming shook her head and explained why.


    ¡°That area borders the Snow Country. Two years ago, when the Snow-blowing Palace publicized its spirit-testing event, many loose cultivators responded and participated; those with outstanding spiritual roots were scouted in advance.¡±


    ¡°Oh, does the Divine Wood Sect not interfere with this kind of situation?¡±


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t know.¡±


    Zhuo Ming shook her head; details of a contest among the higher-ups were beyond the reach of a small loose cultivator like her.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded his head slightly.


    He noticed Yu Lian and the Luo siblings were also observing him. He naturally responded with a smile.


    The three of them all reacted indifferently.


    Under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s true disciples, no one dared to cause trouble.


    Time quickly moved onto the next morning.


    A giant floating airship appeared over Southstream Market, accompanied by a thunderous noise.


    ¡°Everyone on board, maintain order.


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s voice resounded, and the floating airship slowly descended.


    Chen Mobai saw a middle-aged man with a beard standing at the highest point of the ship¡¯s bow, with Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying by his left and right, showing respectful attitudes.


    Obviously, this was the Foundation Establishment elder of Divine Wood Sect stationed in Yun Country, Shan Hongyi.


    Yu Lian didn¡¯t hesitate at all; he leaped onto the ship first and then paid his respects to the three from the Divine Wood Sect.


    With him leading, the Luo siblings followed suit.


    Liu Wen Bo was eager, but hesitated at the last moment. After some thought, he walked up to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Chen, after you.¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised; he didn¡¯t expect to command such respect in Wen Bo¡¯s eyes.


    He initially planned to pass on the position of spokesman for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s new disciples from Southstream Market. But he didn¡¯t foresee Wen Bo stepping back in this situation.


    Given the circumstances, Chen Mobai had no reason to reject the offer.


    He was the fourth to board the floating airship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then it was Liu Wen Bo¡¯s turn.


    After the five of them boarded, the remaining loose cultivators hesitated no more and chose their spots on the ship deck to jump onto.


    ¡°Is this the one you mentioned?¡±


    Shan Hongyi asked Yuan Chiye beside him. The latter wondered about Chen Mobai, aware that another true disciple had personally undertaken a task due to his absence yesterday; this level of attention piqued the interest of Elder Shan.


    ¡°Yes, Brother E thinks he¡¯s worth cultivating..¡±

 Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 Three Divine Trees_l

    Chapter 164 Three Divine Trees_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Hmph, you haven¡¯t even achieved Foundation Establishment, but you re already thinking about such matters. You¡¯re not afraid you¡¯ll crumble midway, are you?¡±


    Shan Hongyi appeared to be displeased with E Yun, and his words were tinged


    with criticism.


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye had no choice but to pretend he didn¡¯t hear anything.


    ¡°Elder, all are present now.¡±


    Finding it necessary to change the subject, he checked the name roster against his memory of the initial spiritual testing. Upon confirming its accuracy, he handed the roster to Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°Mmm, let¡¯s go then.¡±


    After glancing at the roster, Shan Hongyi returned it and stomped his foot, infusing a massive surge of spiritual power into the power source of the Floating Airship.


    Amidst the creaking sounds¡ª


    The huge flying artifact, crafted from wood, began to ascend.


    Many of the Loose Cultivators were amazed, standing at the vessel¡¯s rail, their hands gripping the railing tightly. As they watched the Southstream Market on the ground grow increasingly smaller, they marveled at and enjoyed their first flying experience.


    Quite a few people turned pale, but under the gaze of Shan Hongyi and the two true disciples, all of them insisted on standing.


    Even the Luo Siblings were somewhat pale.


    In contrast, Yu Lian stood there, his face as composed as ever.


    Chen Mobai took a look around and then found a spot to close his eyes and meditate.


    A day and a night later¡ª


    They finally arrived at Giant Tree Ridge.


    In response to the commotion around him, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, walked to the ship¡¯s edge, and looked down.


    He saw towering trees reaching into the sky, forming a sea of green foliage.


    As per his assessment, each tree had to be a hundred meters long, with a diameter equivalent to two people embracing. The three enormous trees at the center even reached the clouds, their tops were invisible. They must have been thousands of meters in length.


    This was the famed ¡°Three Divine Trees¡± upon which the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reputation was built, right?


    Apparently, they were transplanted from an immortal¡¯s secret realm by Yuan Daojun for cultivation of a secret longevity technique. After Daojun ascended, these three Divine Trees served as his cultivation site and survived countless wars because no one dared to destroy them.


    They genuinely deserved their reputation as Divine Trees¡¯.


    Comparing them to the jade phoenix tree in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai conceded that due to the limitation of his realm level, he could not discern any difference.


    As everyone admired the view, Shan Hongyi created a talisman, and a ripple emerged in the air, creating a portal.


    An unprecedented dense spiritual qi flooded their senses, and in merely a moment, Chen Mobai felt his Five Elements Cultivation improving.


    Was this truly the Rank-4 top-grade Spirit Vein?


    While he was still marveling inwardly, they entered the portal. It felt as if a leaf boat fell into an endless sea. All they could see were dense green leaves and trees.


    The Floating Airship significantly slowed its speed. After gliding for about fifteen minutes, they finally broke out of the sea of trees and landed on a vast plain.


    A string of grand wooden halls carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared before their eyes.


    A broad timber path, about ten meters wide, extended from the landing platform where their airship touched down, leading directly to a grand hall suspended in the air, between two giant trees.


    ¡°New disciples should first report to our Ancestor worship hall.¡±


    Upon landing, Shan Hongyi withdrew the Floating Airship and vanished.


    As the guide, Yuan Chiye immediately stepped forward to call them.


    Chen Mobai and his group followed him along the long wooden path to the grand hall suspended between the trees.


    Three disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were already waiting for them with writing materials in hand.


    After Yuan Chiye led them to register their names, he brought them to a place called Bud Hall.


    ¡°All new disciples who join must chop wood for three months.


    ¡°After three months, if you have made no errors, you can choose a department


    of your preference.¡±


    ¡°These are your nameplates. New disciples can go to the Book Pavilion to receive a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Spell.¡±


    -Every month, you can also go to Spirit Treasure Pavilion to receive your share of Spirit Stones as a ritual of the Divine Wood Sect. The number of Spirit Stones will depend on your cultivation level and the number of tasks you¡¯ve accomplished.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be addressing any queries regarding the rules of the Divine Wood Sect here for the next month. If you have questions about cultivation techniques, you can approach me as well. However, given the limitations of my cultivation level, it¡¯s another story whether I can answer your questions.


    After Yuan Chiye finished his explanation, he distributed the nameplates to everyone.


    When Chen Mobai received his, he saw it was a piece of black ebony, inscribed with a sophisticated formation. After infusing it with a drop of blood, it turned into a magic artifact that only he could activate.


    He could use the nameplate to enter or leave Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, before entering or leaving, they first needed to apply to another department of the Divine Wood Sect. Specialists would input an additional restriction into their nameplate, which would be recognized by the Large Formation, granting them passage.


    Chen Mobai learned all these details after Yuan Chiye¡¯s explanation.


    Three days passed without him noticing, and he had already been in the Divine Wood Sect for three days.


    Every morning, he listened carefully to the rules of the sect explained by Yuan Chiye.


    Initially, everyone else was also engaged, but soon enough, they started to lose interest.


    While Yuan Chiye was lecturing, they were sitting below and meditating.


    The spiritual qi in Giant Tree Ridge was indeed extremely dense. Compared to Yun Country, their cultivation progress was astoundingly fast. Everyone was eagerly refining the spirit qi.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it for today¡¯s lesson. Those seven of you who are scheduled today, come with me to the Book Pavilion.¡±


    After finishing his lecture, Yuan Chiye stood up and walked towards the exit of the lecture hall.


    For the newcomers like Chen Mobai who had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, their most anticipated event was naturally selecting their cultivation techniques from the Book Pavilion.


    However, with so many new disciples, it was impossible to let over a hundred people swarm in at once.


    Moreover, they didn¡¯t know the way.


    Hence, the kind-hearted Yuan Chiye decided to take seven disciples to the Book Pavilion after finishing his lecture each day.


    In this manner, everyone would have made their selection after half a month.


    Because of their strong enthusiasm about picking a cultivation technique, many Loose Cultivators offered up their most precious spirit stones to Yuan Chiye. He accepted those with grace and arranged the order according to the number of spirit stones given.


    Chen Mobai, being a prodigy, was scheduled for the third day just by symbolically giving one spirit stone.


    It seemed that to remain in step with him, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming were also scheduled for today.


    Yuan Chiye guided the seven of them through numerous timber trails to a giant tree about ten meters in diameter.


    This tree was, impressively, the Book Pavilion.


    Yuan Chiye presented his nameplate for verification, following which a door appeared at the base of the tree.

    ¡°Follow me inside, make sure not to damage anything in there. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be expelled from the sect.¡±


    The usually gentle Yuan Chiye spoke in a tone that was unexpectedly serious, before leading them in.


    All nodded their agreement.


    Upon entering the giant tree, they realized its core was hollowed out.


    A range of bookshelves were carved out around the circular tree walls, with ladders and walkways leading to various levels, all the way up to the hundred-meter-high ceiling. Truly spectacular..

    Chapter 165: Choosing the Second Phase Skill 1

    ¡°Brother Hu,¡±


    The monk standing guard at the book pavilion was an old man. Yuan Chiye greeted him.


    ¡°New disciples can choose a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Spell from the shelves.¡±


    Brother Hu nodded in response to Yuan Chiye, emphasized the rules to Chen Mobai and the other six while holding a book, and then waved his hand, implying them to proceed.


    ¡°Once you have made your selection, come over here for registration.¡±


    Yuan Chiye added, as Zhuo Ming and the others nodded in agreement, and then, unable to control their excitement, headed towards the neatly arranged books on the shelves.


    Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo, however, were not in a hurry. The latter even bowed in respect to Brother Hu.


    When the rest of the six had left, Chen Mobai walked up to the two older brothers.


    ¡°Can I choose the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai had a clear goal. His primary aim in joining Divine Wood Sect was to get the Foundation Building Pill and the Dual Phase Technique.


    ¡°Are you sure you want to choose the Dual Phase Technique? We generally don¡¯t recommend ordinary disciples practice this technique. Although it can increase the chances of Core Formation, it requires twice the resources and time beforehand,¡± Brother Hu frowned and advised after hearing this.


    ¡°Ever since my time on Green Light Island, when I heard Brother Qi Rui talk about Dual Phase Technique, I¡¯ve yearned for it. I hope today, I can fulfill this wish.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Brother Hu appeared troubled, turning his head to look at Yuan Chiye. Since he was in charge of the new entrants, Xu was already half a teacher.


    Brother Hu wanted him to offer some advice.


    swear an oath with your


    ¡°After becoming a True Disciple, you can get the Dual Phase Technique for free. If you choose this technique now, you need to not only r¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Dao-heart but also submit a voluntary application, lest you regret stalling the


    progress of Qi Cultivation in the future.¡±


    After Yuan Chiye finished speaking, Brother Hu once again started talking, stating the disadvantages of practicing the Dual Phase Technique to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I used to think of myself as extraordinarily talented, capable of managing two techniques concurrently, and even had hopes of achieving Core Formation.¡± ¡°But the thirty years I spent in the sect after joining taught me that it is better to face reality unless one has extraordinary talent or substantial family support.¡±


    ¡°Now, even though I¡¯m at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, due to the Dual Phase Technique involving the concurrent practice of the techniques of wood and water, I missed the prime age for Foundation Establishment and can only sit in this book cavern.¡±


    These words finished, Yuan Chiye¡¯s face turned slightly unnatural.


    He, too, was practicing the Dual Phase Technique, was cultivating wood and water, and was resource-poor.


    However, he was flexible, taking on all sorts of tasks as a True Disciple, even tedious tasks like teaching sect rules to new disciples ¨C he was thus a little better off than Brother Hu.


    He¡¯d achieved the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation with his water attribute technique, but his Longevity Sutra was stuck at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, requiring several years of intense cultivation to balance the Dual Phase and attempt Foundation Establishment.


    However, Yuan Chiye¡¯s Foundation Building Pill was already in hand and nearly twenty more years were left until he reached the age of sixty; he was sure he would not follow in Brother Hu¡¯s footsteps.


    Staying firm on his thoughts, Chen Mobai wrote a voluntary application under the guidance of Yuan Chiye. Then he followed Brother Hu to a locked bookcase.


    Upon opening it, they found it filled with a hundred well-copied volumes of the ¡°Dual Phase Technique.¡±


    Brother Hu casually pulled out a volume and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Hu, these are hand-copied, will there be any errors or missing words?¡±


    Chen Mobai flipped through it, asked this question with a worrying look, which earned him a side-eye from Brother Hu.


    ¡°This was printed directly using a spell, and only because it was originally


    hand-copied does it resemble a manual copy.¡±


    ¡°It was originally written by Fu, our ancestral founder. It even has his insights.¡± ¡°You disciples are very fortunate. Back when I was at the Five Elements Sect the notes and insights of Core Formation seniors were only accessible through exchanging sect contribution points, unlike now, where it¡¯s directly printed in the technique and given to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened, looking grateful.


    Having the notes of predecessors to refer to would surely make comprehension easier during cultivation. He had a deep understanding of this from his auxiliary cultivation software.


    ¡°You can also choose a spell.¡±


    After both men returned, Yuan Chiye reminded him.


    In Tianhe Realm, Cultivation Techniques and Spells were categorized separately.


    This was also why Chen Mobai noticed He Qun selling the Blackwater Cultivation Technique separately from the Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield, and others in the Southstream Market. It wasn¡¯t because He Qun was greedy, but because the traditional rules in Tianhe Realm were always like this.


    Brother Yuan, do you have any recommendations?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know which famous spells were available in the Divine Wood Sect.


    With the Immortal Gate Spell Library in his possession, he didn¡¯t urgently need the spells of the Tianhe Realm, so he hadn¡¯t inquired beforehand. Instead, he directly asked Yuan Chiye without feeling embarrassed.


    Practicing the Dual Phase Technique requires a lot of resources, and our Divine Wood Sect is renowned for its vast medicinal fields. You can practice the ¡®Spirit Needle Technique¡¯ or the ¡®Falling Rain Technique. After finishing chopping logs, when applying to go to the medicinal fields, many elders would be willing to accept you.¡±


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t asked, Yuan Chiye wouldn¡¯t have bothered mentioning it. But since he was asked and Chen Mobai was someone he had his eye on, he gave some guidance.


    Due to the ¡°Falling Rain Technique¡± requiring water attribute spiritual power for the most effective execution, Chen Mobai ultimately chose the ¡°Spirit Needle Technique,¡± which could be practiced by any of the Five Elements spiritual power.


    Thus, among the seven, Chen Mobai was the first to choose his Cultivation Technique and Spell.


    ¡°By the way, Brother Yuan, I once met a disciple from the Flying Needle Sect. I wonder which is more powerful when compared to the Spirit Needle Technique?¡±


    Seeing that it was getting boring standing there, he casually started chatting with Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Flying Needle Sect? Seems like there is an affiliated sect under Golden Cliff that matches your description.¡±


    Saying this, Yuan Chiye pulled out a thick book from his storage bag, flipped through a few pages, and found information about someone named Red Needle Daoist.


    ¡°Found it. The Flying Needle Sect was quite renowned in the past, but after the last Foundation Establishment practitioner passed away around sixty years ago, it¡¯s likely nearing its end.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw Yuan Chiye inspecting the information and then casually placing the book back into his storage bag. It reminded him of the storage bag he had picked up on Green Light Island, which he still hadn¡¯t managed to open yet.


    Brother Yuan, can these storage bags be purchased within the sect?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Of course, you can get anything from our sect at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. The smallest cubic storage bag is a hundred Spirit Stones. Are you interested? I happen to have an extra one.¡±


    ¡°How did Brother Yuan get this extra one?¡±


    ¡°Heh, some Loose Cultivators tried to rob me, but they ended up being killed by me, leaving their storage bag. After refining the brand of the previous owner with my divine sense, I got over 200 Spirit Stones. Having extras doesn¡¯t make much of a difference, if you really want it, I can sell it to you for 80 Spirit Stones.¡±


    After hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately declined. He couldn¡¯t afford it.


    However, the mention of refining with his divine sense, was something he stored in his memory..

    Chapter 166: On The Road_l


    Translator: 549690339


    It wasn¡¯t until almost noon, when Yuan Chiye was becoming impatient, that Zhuo Ming and the other five finally made their reluctant choices and came down from the bookshelf.


    All they could do was watch; they could not take books themselves but had to rely on Elder Brother Hu.


    ¡°Huh, you also want the Dual Element Technique?¡±


    Surprisingly, Liu Wenbo had made the same choice as Chen Mobai, which greatly surprised Elder Brother Hu.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect that Elder Brother Chen and I would make the same choice.¡±


    Given that Liu Wenbo comes from a familial line of immortal cultivators, his choice of Dual Element Technique was certainly a decision made carefully with the help of his family.


    ¡°Fill this first.¡±


    Elder Brother Hu advised once more, making Liu Wenbo hesitant.


    However, knowing that Chen Mobai had already made his choice seemed to help him make up his mind. He gritted his teeth, wrote his volunteer letter, and took a copy of Dual Element Technique.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, what is the Dual Element Technique?¡±


    On the way back, Zhuo Ming, who had chosen the Complete Immortal Longevity Scripture for Qi Cultivation, was very curious. Although she was informed about the small affairs, she was still unaware of such things as the Dual Element Technique as a loose cultivator.


    Chen Mobai did not hide anything, after all, they were members of the Divine Wood Sect now.


    ¡°If there¡¯s such a miraculous cultivation technique, then I¡¯m at a big loss.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming opened her mouth wide, her face full of regret.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a blessing in disguise.¡±


    On the other side, Liu Wenbo joined the conversation with these words.


    As Zhuo Ming looked puzzled, he explained the difficulties of practicing Dual Element Technique. Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming instantly understood.


    Being a loose cultivator herself, she definitely didn¡¯t have to worry about the Dual Element Technique until she became a true disciple.


    ¡°By the way, Junior Sister Zhuo, are you planning to switch to the ¡®Immortal Longevity Scripture¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the book Zhuo Ming was holding. The Dual Element Technique required the practice of two cultivation techniques that supplemented each other from the Five Elements.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, there are usually two ways to practice: Water-Wood or Wood-Fire!


    Among these, the path chosen by Yuan Chiye was Water-Wood. If he successfully reached the Core Formation stage, the spiritual power gained from the Immortal Longevity Scripture would absorb the essence of that water cultivation technique.


    The other path was Wood-Fire.


    This was the path chosen by Chen Mobai.


    For his Fire attribute, he would certainly choose Pure Yang Scroll; for the Wood attribute, in order to hide in the Divine Wood Sect, he could only choose the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    In Divine Wood Sect, regardless of which path is taken, the basic Wood attribute cultivation technique is the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    Aside from this technique being a standard of the Divine Wood Sect, it also increased the lifespan of the cultivator, giving them more time to reach the threshold of the Core Formation phase.


    Thus, after acquiring the Dual Element Technique, Chen Mobai naturally had to find a way to get the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    He had asked Elder Brother Hu at the Book Pavilion. Since it was the most common Qi Cultivation technique in the Divine Wood Sect, every disciple could exchange for it.


    The price was not too expensive for Chen Mobai, 50 Spirit Stones.


    If he had not been hard-pressed for cash, having only 30 Spirit Stones left after practicing the One Yang Technique, Chen Mobai would definitely want to buy a copy.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, this is a benefit given for free by the sect to new disciples, and a Dao Heart Oath was taken when receiving it. It cannot be sold.¡±


    Upon understanding Chen Mobai¡¯s meaning, Zhuo Ming vehemently shook her head.


    Although she was only a loose cultivator, she knew the importance of the Dao Heart Oath. If broken, it would plant the seed of a Heart Demon.


    ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡±


    Chen Mobai was just asking, but soon he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Liu Wenbo.


    The latter was a bit puzzled and didn¡¯t know why he was being stared at.


    ¡°Junior Brother Liu, since you¡¯ve chosen the Two-Phase Technique, your family must have already prepared the two Qi cultivation techniques for you.¡± ¡°Correct, Senior Brother Chen, you mean¡­.¡±


    Both were smart individuals, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to further express himself for Liu Wenbo to understand his motives.


    No matter which path Liu Wenbo¡¯s Two-Phase Technique took, The Elixir of Immortality was essential.


    And since Liu Wanbo¡¯s Elixir of Immortality was prepared by his family, there was naturally no restriction due to the Heart Oath.


    ¡°If Senior Brother Chen needs it, I can copy it for you upon return.¡±


    Liu Wenbo had a tactful way of handling matters. A mere Qi Cultivation technique, in his eyes, could serve as a gesture of goodwill to establish a relationship with Chen Mobai, a potential true disciple.


    ¡°Then I will not hold back, Junior Brother Liu, feel free to command me in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to borrow The Elixir of Immortality on credit, to no avail. He hadn¡¯t expected Liu Wenbo to be so generous.


    For a moment, Chen Mobai felt guilty for his suspicion towards the cultivators from Tianhe Realm, supposing only some loose cultivators have malicious intentions, whereas the majority were decent like the Immortal Sect.


    After returning to Bud Hall, Chen Mobai and the others immediately proposed a closed-door training session to Yuan Chiye.


    He did not refuse them, only reminding them that they still had to fulfill their monthly quota of firewood. Aside from that, there was no restriction on their cultivation, attending his lectures on the sect rules was optional.


    The Red Sun Wood was the most abundant species in the Giant Tree Ridge. The controlled gentle heat produced by its combustion made it a highly popular material among Rank-1 Alchemists and Artifact Refiners.


    However, the sect contribution points for chopping wood were too little, very few disciples from the Divine Wood Sect took up this task, hence it fell upon the newcomers.


    One could only earn one sect contribution point by chopping a hundred standard size logs.


    New disciples were expected to deliver three hundred logs every day.


    Chen Mobai, who was in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, worked diligently from dawn to dusk using the iron axe provided by the sect but could only manage to chop approximately five hundred logs.


    For those in the middle stage, they had to give it their all just to meet the task requirements.


    Luckily, most of them were loose cultivators who had joined them, and a few from small sects were at least at the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation.


    The task of chopping wood was generally completed adequately.


    Chen Mobai was confident he could make up for the Red Sun Wood deficit later, but Zhuo Ming and the others couldn¡¯t afford to close the door for even a day without having to go out and chop wood.


    ¡°Is this kid not afraid of being punished by me for not meeting the monthly quota?¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai¡¯s seven-day lock-up record, Yuan Chiye mumbled to himself.


    Little did he know.


    The wooden house was already empty.


    Chen Mobai, with his possessions and copy of the Elixir of Immortality, had taken a seat by the window of the train, heading towards the Crimson City Cave.


    ¡°Excuse me, that¡¯s my seat.¡±


    While Chen Mobai was engrossed in his book, a pleasant voice rang by his ear. He turned his head to find a beautifully youthful and seductive young woman. She had a light touch of makeup, her eyebrows were sharp like a crescent moon, and her face was fair. She looked about seventeen or eighteen, with a slight smile on her lips, her cherry lips gently pursed as though lip-glossed, emitting an alluring charm.


    ¡°Pardon me.¡±

    Chen Mobai had crowded her half-space with his bag. Realizing this, he immediately apologized and moved the bag to his feet.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    The young lady let out a slight smile then stepped in.


    She wore a simple white half-sleeve blouse showing her full and rounded curves, and a slender waist. Below, she wore a black pleated skirt with fine long legs in white knee-length stockings, paired with black round-toed shoes. Her pure appearance carried a hint of charm.


    She pushed her half-body tall pink suitcase under the seat, after sitting next to Chen Mobai, she took off the big backpack she was carrying and placed it between her bare beautiful legs, on top of the skirt and stockings..

 Chapter 167 - Chapter 167:1 am from Dance Tool Dao Academy _1

    Chapter 167:1 am from Dance Tool Dao Academy _1


    Translator: 549690339


    She¡¯s really pretty.


    These were the thoughts that ran through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he gazed at her.


    A faint fragrant aroma wafted from her, extraordinarily pleasant.


    However, he quickly refocused his attention on the Immortality Scripture in his hand.


    Given that this technique belonged to the Tianhe Realm, there were no online resources or video lectures available for it in the cultivation world, leaving him to his own understanding and study.


    Honestly speaking, this was quite challenging for Chen Mobai.


    He was used to looking for answers on the Internet whenever he encountered a problem, being left to his own comprehension to study the Immortality Scripture written in classical language was a tall ask.


    Upon receiving this Qi cultivation technique, he along with his fellow new disciples sought advice from Yuan Chiye.


    However, the latter only taught the rules of the Divine Wood Sect, and additional spirit stone payment was required if they wanted to seek guidance on cultivation techniques.


    The price was not low either; one class costed 10 spirit stones.


    But Yuan Chiye did not intend to cheat these new disciples. He had used up his twenty years of savings and borrowed many contribution points from his fellow disciples just to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill, leaving him indebted and penniless.


    Under such circumstances, Yuan Chiye abandoned his prestige as a True Disciple and started taking on jobs intensively, doing everything to earn spirit stones and sect contribution points.


    Yuan Chiye also informed them about the lecture hall that the sect had established specifically for the growth of new disciples.


    The lecture hall had many cultivators who had failed to establish their foundation; they gave free classes periodically to pay back the contribution points owed to the sect. Some taught cultivation techniques, while others taught about talismans, spirit plants, alchemy, and other Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    They could potentially learn the practice of the Immortality Scripture if they asked in advance.


    However, they had to wait for three months before they could attend the lecture hall.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was intently reading, a clear voice reached his ears.


    He turned his head to see a pair of eyes on a maiden whose glance bewitched him. She was smiling beautifully, her hands clutching a bag that sat on her white thigh, turning towards him to introduce herself.


    ¡°My name is Wanyu. I¡¯m going to Crimson City for school.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, I¡¯m also going to school.¡±


    As she was the first to initiate conversation, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t snub her, so he smiled and put down the book in his hand.


    ¡°Are you from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute?¡±


    Wanyu stretched out her slender finger, pointing to the antique book that Chen Mobai had placed on the table. The words ¡°Immortality Scripture¡± were very conspicuous.


    ¡°No, this is something I stumbled upon in a thrift market. Some of the viewpoints inside are interesting, so I¡¯m reading it while taking this trip.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew about the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, an university spun-off from the Imperial Medical Academy. Under the patronage of the Immortal Cultivation, it focused on researching the lifespan of cultivators with the aim to break the lifespan limits of each realm.


    This institution had already researched many herbs and elixirs that could prolong the lifespan of cultivators in various realms. It was a shame they were not widespread due to the scarce resources of the cultivation world.


    ¡°Then which university are you attending? All the universities in Crimson City are in the same district. I¡¯m from the Starlight Institute, so we might bump into each other often.¡±


    As Wanyu spoke, Chen Mobai perked up immediately.


    Finally, she asked.


    ¡°Wanyu, what a coincidence, you are also on this train.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to mention Dance Tool Dao Academy, a handsome young man with luggage entered the compartment.


    As soon as he stepped in, his gaze was fixed on Wanyu; he also glared at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Gu Mingxuan?¡±


    Upon seeing the young man, Wanyu appeared surprised, seemingly not expecting to share the same compartment with him.


    Chen Mobai shrugged helplessly, suppressing his desire to show off in front of the young girl. He picked up the Immortality Scripture that lay on the table and continued reading.


    Gu Mingxuan approached their table, scrutinising Chen Mobai from head to toe. Having taken the Fire Clearing Pill, his spiritual sense was acute even at the Qi Cultivation level and was very sensitive to the young man¡¯s gaze.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say anything. He merely frowned, picked up the old book in his hand, and casually used it to block the young man¡¯s view.


    It was then that Gu Mingxuan sat down. He took the seat directly opposite Wanyu, and after putting away his luggage, he started chatting with her naturally.


    Chen Mobai listened to their conversation for a while and realised that they were classmates from the same high school in Yu Wood City.


    Like him, they were also going to report to the university.


    However, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s guess, Gu Mingxuan was unlikely to be on the same train as Wanyu by coincidence; it must have been planned.


    He had seen such tactics on TV many times before.


    ¡°Move, you¡¯re in my seat.¡±


    Just as Gu Mingxuan was enjoying himself, a cold voice rang out.


    A young man with a buzz cut, wearing a tank top and trousers, and a tattoo on one arm, stood beside him.


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Despite the rude tone of the tattooed youngster, Gu Mingxuan had his brows knitted together but decided to show his temperament in front of Wanyu and yielded his seat, moving to sit opposite Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is also my seat.¡±


    Just as Gu Mingxuan sat down, the tattooed youngster waved two tickets at him.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re being wasteful by squatting on two seats, why don¡¯t you give one to me?¡±


    Gu Mingxuan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the two tickets in the tattooed youngster¡¯s hand, and he started asking politely.


    ¡°The reason I bought two tickets is to sit comfortably, move.¡±


    The tattooed teenager didn¡¯t mince his words, and Gu Mingxuan¡¯s face turned from white to green.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you in this carriage?¡±


    Shi Wanyu asked curiously, Gu Mingxuan immediately took out his ticket. Indeed, it was for this train, but not for this carriage.


    The bright-eyed girl showed a momentary fluctuation in her eyes, displaying a sudden realization.


    She probably knew now.


    With a reluctant expression, Gu Mingxuan had no choice but to leave with his luggage.


    After the tattooed teenager sat down, he couldn¡¯t help but light up at the sight of the vibrant, curvaceously alluring girl across from him.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Wen Xiong¡­¡±


    ¡°Wanyu, I asked the attendant, there are two vacant spots in the sleeper cabin, and I upgraded my ticket, do you want to come along? There¡¯s also more space there, it will be more convenient for your luggage.¡±


    Before Wen Xiong could finish his words, Gu Mingxuan ran over excitedly with the ticket and approached their table again.


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to Crimson City Immortal Realm, it¡¯s just a day¡¯s journey, closing your eyes to rest will get us there, there¡¯s no need to waste Good Deed Points.¡±


    However, Shi Wanyu frowned delicately and shook her head in refusal.


    Gu Mingxuan looked disappointed, but under the pretext that he knew someone, he sat on his luggage and thick-skinnedly didn¡¯t leave.


    ¡°Beauty, are you also going to Crimson City Immortal Realm? I¡¯m a freshman at Pure Yang Academy, can we exchange contact information?¡±


    At this point, Wen Xiong spoke again.


    His gaze was enflamed, not hiding his admiration for Shi Wanyu at all.


    ¡°Pure Yang Academy!¡±


    Indeed, upon hearing him announce his school¡¯s name, both Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu looked astonished.


    Not just them, everyone in the carriage who heard his words looked over in surprise, with some even standing up to get a good look at the figure from Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Worthy of being a Pure Yang scholar, such distinct style!¡±


    ¡°Only those with a unique personality can go further on the path of cultivation, this youngster is clearly one of the elites.¡±


    ¡°Kid, you should learn from this older brother, strive to be admitted to the Pure Yang Academy in the future.¡±


    The surrounding admiring comments and respectful gazes made Wen Xiong the focal point of the carriage.


    However, Wen Xiong didn¡¯t pay any mind to it, having grown up in such an environment.


    He is a prodigy.


    Isn¡¯t it normal for a prodigy to enter Pure Yang Academy?


    The only pity being that his small hometown lacked competitive rivals, even after defeating all opponents, he still did not catch the eye of any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, and had to opt for Pure Yang Academy, one of the top ranked among the Ten Great Academies.


    ¡°Maybe next time.¡±


    Again, Shi Wanyu shook her head denying Wen Xiong¡¯s request for contact information.


    This incited Chen Mobai to put down his book in surprise, looking at her with newfound respect.


    Gu Mingxuan, who had been looking down, seemed to have been shot with a dose of adrenaline, his face beaming with delight.


    ¡°Tsk.¡±


    Upon hearing Shi Wanyu¡¯s refusal, Wen Xiong clucked his tongue.


    But as a face-conscious individual, he did not persist and sat back in his space, his gaze filled with heat as he overtly ogled at Shi Wanyu¡¯s attractive face and curvaceous body.


    His unabashed staring caused Gu Mingxuan, who was sitting to the side, to furrow his eyebrows.


    ¡°Brother, can I exchange my ticket with you? I have a berth seat.¡±


    Gu Mingxuan didn¡¯t want to quarrel with Wen Xiong, and also didn¡¯t want to leave Shi Wanyu alone here. Seeing Chen Mobai reading by the window, he had a bright idea, he pulled out his ticket.


    ¡°No thank you, my mom told me not to take advantage of others.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a smile, causing Gu Mingxuan to almost choke on his words.


    This kid is definitely also lusting after Wanyu¡¯s beauty, that¡¯s why he doesn¡¯t want to leave.


    With that thought, Gu Mingxuan looked warily at both Chen Mobai and Wen Xiong.


    ¡°¡®The Classic of Longevity¡¯! Are you from Life-Extension Cultivation Institute?¡±


    Only now did Wen Xiong notice Chen Mobai. In surprise, he glanced at the ancient book in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and asked.


    Crimson City Immortal Realm, as a place where one of the Four Great Daoist Academies, Dance Tool Dao Academy, was located with a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, naturally attracted many universities.


    In addition to the leading Dance Tool Dao Academy and the runner-up Pure Yang Academy, there were twelve other Institutes.


    The Starlight Institute and Life-Extension Cultivation Institute were among them.


    Finally, it¡¯s my turn.

    Hearing Wen Xiong address him, Chen Mobai suppressed his excitement, put down the book, and casually announced his school¡¯s name.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m from Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    Immediately, silence descended upon the entire carriage.


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s mouth fell open in shock.


    Staring at Chen Mobai¡¯s handsome face by the window, bathed in the soft sunlight, the young man seemed to be glowing!

    Wen Xiong was having a hard time accepting it.


    Why did those admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy seem so ordinary?


    Yet at this time, after Chen Mobai announced the name of his academy, the attention of everyone had already shifted from him towards this handsome young man.


    That was the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Those who could get in were the geniuses among geniuses, essentially future Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.


    ¡°Little brother, could you give my child an autograph?¡±


    A young man holding a little girl walked over, full of admiration. Chen Mobai, who had never experienced such a scene, reached into his pocket only to realize he hadn¡¯t brought a pen.


    ¡°Use this.¡±


    Shi Wanyu instantly opened her bag and took out a lipstick pen.


    Chen Mobai hesitated. He had brought a green bamboo pen for drawing talismans in his bag.


    But faced with the expectant eyes of the bright young girl, he was too embarrassed to refuse.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    When he took the lipstick pen, Chen Mobai nodded to Shi Wanyu. Her face blushed slightly as if she was somewhat excited.


    It was a senior student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Chen Mobai signed his name on a handkerchief hanging around the little girl¡¯s neck, then other people in the carriage began to bring all kinds of objects for autographs.


    In the end, the whole lipstick pen was used up, and people from next door¡¯s carriage also heard the commotion and came over in a wave.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, after getting off the train, I¡¯ll buy you a new one.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with an apologetic look, gave back the lipstick pen, which had been used up, to Shi Wanyu. She immediately shook her head, indicating it was unnecessary.


    Then, with a slightly red and lovely face, she took out her mobile phone and asked shyly,


    ¡°Could I add you to my contacts?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Wen Xiong¡¯s ears turned red with anger. Shi Wanyu¡¯s differential treatment made him unable to bear it any longer and he said,


    ¡°Who knows if it¡¯s real or fake?¡±


    At this time, Gu Mingxuan also couldn¡¯t bear the sourness in his heart and nodded in agreement.


    Hearing them say this, the passengers in the next carriage, who had planned to ask Chen Mobai for his autograph, also hesitated.


    After all, students from the Four Great Daoist Academies were indeed rare.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Just then, the commotion in the carriage attracted the attention of the train attendants. Two men and a woman in blue uniforms came over.


    After understanding the situation, one of the higher-ranking men saluted Chen Mobai and said something very politely,


    ¡°Sir, as a student of one of the four great Daoist academies, you are entitled to travel in first class on any public transportation in the immortal world.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡±


    Chen Mobai had no idea about this.


    ¡°May I see your student ID please?¡±


    ¡°I just enrolled this year and haven¡¯t issued a student ID yet.¡±


    Upon hearing this, some people looked skeptical, but the train manager had seen several students from the Four Great Daoist Academies and knew there was more to it.


    ¡°Could I see your admission letter?¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his mobile phone and flipped out a screenshot of the electronic version of the admission letter from his album.


    After the manager scanned the student ID number on it, his attitude became more respectful.


    ¡°You are in the normal carriage, which could cause a gathering. It would be better if you come with me to first class.¡±


    Chen Mobai was reluctant within. After all, by sheer luck, he was seated next to a beautiful young girl.


    But seeing the crowd from the nearby carriages squeezing in the aisle trying to get in, he thought it better to leave.


    ¡°In that case, thank you.¡±


    After thanking the train manager, Chen Mobai picked up the ancient book from the table, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and got up to leave.


    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot.¡±


    As he was leaving, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and added Shi Wanyu to his contacts.


    ¡°See you if fate allows.¡±


    Hearing this, watching the handsome young man leave nonchalantly, Shi Wanyu suppressed a throb in her heart.


    Was this a genius from the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    Gu Mingxuan and Wen Xiong looked at each other, the former sagged, the latter slightly unconvinced.


    After arriving in the first class compartment, Chen Mobai was surprisingly the only one there.


    ¡°This area is usually reserved for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and students of the Four Great Daoist Academies.¡±


    The train manager explained, then pointed to the young, attractive female attendant, indicating she was in charge of the first-class carriage and could be approached if needed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After expressing his thanks again, Chen Mobai finally had some peace.


    He began to seriously read the Longevity Scripture.


    As Qi Cultivation was the only section covered, it wasn¡¯t very lengthy, but Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but doubt his comprehension due to the cryptic ancient text.


    After all, he was considered a genius who had passed the examination to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so why couldn¡¯t he understand this ancient text?


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and began to look up the meanings word by word.


    He didn¡¯t finish until it started to get dark and the outer attendant had already brought dinner. He had completed the annotation and translation of the whole text.


    Even so, Chen Mobai felt that he might still have some misunderstanding.


    When night fell and the attendant turned off all the lights in the train, Chen Mobai went to the restroom, where he used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, I have some questions about the Longevity Scripture.¡±


    ¡°My charges are not cheap.¡±


    Yuan Chiye clarified in advance.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford the charge of ten Spirit Stones, but he just wanted to consult the meaning of a few sentences, and verify whether he had misunderstood the translation.


    He gave Yuan Chiye two Spirit Stones, who reluctantly agreed to proofread it for Chen Mobai for twenty minutes.


    As a result, Chen Mobai¡¯s translation was generally correct, only some minor interpretations differed from Yuan Chiye¡¯s.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, as there are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people¡¯s eyes. In the words of Ancestor Zhou, if everyone practices the same cultivation technique in exactly the same way without exception, the Divine Wood Sect would not be far from extinction.¡±


    Regarding this minor difference, Yuan Chiye thought it was only natural, and Chen Mobai could only temporarily accept it.


    But for actual cultivation practices, he would wait until he reached the Crimson City Cave Heaven, and consult the professors in the academy.


    As Chen Mobai was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.


    He asked Yuan Chiye a probing question.


    If life were really too hard to bear, would he consider selling the Foundation Building Pill?


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s attitude was resolute.


    Even if he died, he would swallow the Foundation Building Pill before he did.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Divine Wood Sect could only harvest Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms once a decade. If Yuan Chiye gave up the Foundation Pill now, he would have to wait another decade.


    And ten years later, whether the sect would allow him to exchange for another Foundation Pill was uncertain.


    Even for geniuses like E Yun who had failed in their first tried Foundation Establishment, their value would diminish greatly in the eyes of the higher-ups.


    Therefore, even though there were cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect who succeeded in Foundation Establishment after taking the pill twice, all True Disciples knew that they could only win the favor of the sect and get more resource allocation by succeeding in one go.


    ¡°Only True Disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment in one go can enter the Three Divine Trees and get the true inheritance of our sect..¡±

 Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Is There a Possibility !

    Chapter 169: Is There a Possibility !


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Could it be the Primordial Dao Fruit!¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, the first thing that flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was this most potent Divine Skill from the Eastern Wilderness he had once heard of, and he couldn¡¯t help but blurt it out.


    ¡°Oh, you actually know about the Primordial Dao Fruit? However, the cultivation method for this Divine Skill is held by the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Earth Vein. We from the Divine Wood Sect don¡¯t have it.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask him what the real heritage of the Divine Wood Sect was?


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, but each time a genius disciple successfully establishes their foundation, they can go to the forbidden land where the Three Divine Trees reside. The better one¡¯s Spiritual Root Talent, the more benefits they can gain.¡±


    ¡°The foremost True Disciple of the previous generation received a Tree Fruit and the method to use it. He advanced directly from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the middle stage, saving twenty years of hard cultivation.¡±


    ¡°The Flying Sword of Elder Mo from Golden Cliff was also snapped from a branch of the Three Divine Trees. It is said that it could aggressively progress. Its success in Core Formation was due to the superior Sword Training method it received along with the branch.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai, who had initially been indifferent, now had his eyes gleaming.


    Whether it was the tree fruit that directly broke through realms or the tree branch valued by Golden Core Cultivators, to him, they were all exotic treasures.


    His demands were not high. He didn¡¯t need cultivation techniques; he just wanted the Realm-Breaking Tree Fruit.


    However, based on Yuan Chiye¡¯s description, it seemed that the Three Divine Trees awarded people according to their Spiritual Roots. The better the Spiritual Root, the better the Spiritual Objects given. He, who merely possessed an ordinary True Spiritual Root, wondered if he could fool it.


    But Chen Mobai felt that the Three Divine Trees, being spiritual wood left behind by Ascended Monks, shouldn¡¯t be as crude as the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    If only he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    While lamenting, something suddenly came to Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    He seemed to still have a ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± in his bag.


    Could there be a possibility¡­


    After this idea flashed across his mind, Chen Mobai became restless.


    He promptly bid Yuan Chiye farewell.


    After returning to his room and declaring closed-door cultivation again, he returned to the train.


    Over the past year or so, he had fully explored the functions of the Turtle Treasure.


    The [Teleport] function could only transport him to where he last left the Tianhe Realm.


    Whereas [Return] recognized the location of the Turtle Shell.


    Meaning, no matter where he was in the Tianhe Realm, as long as he activated Return and wasn¡¯t disturbed within eight seconds, he would appear next to the Turtle Treasure on Earth Element Star.


    [Delegate] recognized his cultivation progress to activate.


    It wouldn¡¯t accept any progress after his cultivation level had regressed.


    For example, after Chen Mobai had switched to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll and his realm improved, the Turtle Treasure still recognised him at the Qi Cultivation seventh tier, and ignored any realm breakthroughs below this tier.


    After the silver light flickered, Chen Mobai, seeing the familiar restroom, picked up the backpack placed on the washstand and walked out.


    The first-class cabin was still empty.


    He sat down on the sofa, put down the book of the Immortality in his hand, and started to think about Foundation Establishment.


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to try Foundation Establishment after reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, even if he failed, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    The common view among immortals regarding Foundation Establishment is that the first attempt is exploratory, setting the groundwork for success during the second attempt.


    The Imperial Medical Academy had done a survey.


    Excluding the samples of Heavenly Spiritual Root and Different Spiritual Root, they collected samples of successful common Spiritual Root users.


    It was found that over 65% of cultivators succeeded in Foundation Establishment after failing once, only 20% succeeded on their first attempt, and the remaining 14.5% succeeded after three attempts.


    Lastly, there were some extremely rare lucky ones who succeeded on their fourth attempt, accounting for 0.5%.


    The reasons for this, besides the differences in ideas between the two realms, was mainly because immortals here didn¡¯t concoct Foundation Building Pills.


    Moreover, immortals here have more experience and insights regarding Foundation Establishment and a complete guiding system. This gave ordinary spiritual root cultivators more hope for successful Foundation Establishment.


    However, all the above statistics are based on conditions before the age limit of sixty.


    Success in Foundation Establishment after sixty is extremely rare, as one in tens of thousands.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s father certainly only has one opportunity for Foundation Establishment.


    Therefore, he has asked Yuan Chiye if he has any intention of selling a Foundation Building Pill, to see if he can get one for his father.


    However, Chen Mobai is very clear-headed, knowing that obtaining a Foundation Building Pill within this year can only rely on luck, and definitely should not resort to unconventional methods to demand it.


    If heaven indeed doesn¡¯t offer him this kind of luck, then nothing can be done.


    But he certainly needs to try.


    And now, he has another motivation.


    That is to succeed in Foundation Establishment at once.


    Or perhaps, secretly attempt Foundation Establishment from the Immortal Gate¡¯s end. Even if he fails, as long as he promptly recovers his cultivation level and essence, the Divine Wood Sect probably won¡¯t notice his failure, right?


    Shaking his head, after throwing out this unrealistic thought from his mind, Chen Mobai began to think about how to rapidly improve his cultivation level.


    He has practically finished understanding the Longevity Sutra, so what remains is to take care of the Great Divine Wood Sect Technique and Pure Yang Scroll after entering university.


    Looking at the completely darkened sky outside, Chen Mobai had no desire to sleep.


    He thought about how he only has a measly Qi Cultivation seventh level, and without the assistance of the real man in the red robe, the progress of the transfer to the Pure Yang Scroll has slowed down, which made him sigh.


    He is keen to hasten with taking Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to enhance himself, but the train only provides the most basic Rank-1 spiritual energy for cultivators to breathe, making it impossible to cultivate.


    No wonder most True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage don¡¯t take the train.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Two-Phase Technique again and found this cultivation technique even more difficult to comprehend. Without Fu Laozu¡¯s personal experience and annotations on the side, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to understand it.


    No wonder the Divine Wood Sect does not allow disciples outside the True Disciple to practice it.


    After struggling to read it once, Chen Mobai sighed and put down the Two-Phase Technique.


    Looking at the time, he realized that there were still six hours until Crimson City Cave.


    Such a long time.


    If only there was a beautiful miss on the side to admire.


    Unintentionally, Chen Mobai thought of Master Wanyu.


    However, he certainly cannot go to the ordinary carriage now, as the crowd is too enthusiastic about him as a student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Right, there¡¯s still something I haven¡¯t opened yet.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had planned to find something to do for himself, suddenly remembered the storage bag he picked up from Green Light Island.


    From Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, he knew that as long as his Divine Sense is stronger than the previous owner¡¯s, he can refine and open it.


    He hoped that the former owner¡¯s Divine Sense wasn¡¯t as strong as his.


    Chen Mobai thought so, opened his school bag, and took out the palm-sized brocade bag that was pressed on the turtle shell.


    He held up the storage bag and placed it on his forehead.


    Since he hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his Divine Sense couldn¡¯t leave his body, so he had to try to crack it this way.


    Like opening a treasure chest, Chen Mobai was very excited.


    About an hour later, Chen Mobai, panting heavily, helplessly put down the storage bag in his hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The luck wasn¡¯t good. The divine sense of this storage bag¡¯s previous owner is stronger than his, probably a Qi Cultivation ninth level.


    It seems that he can only wait to attempt to crack it again after he has consumed all the Fire Clearing Pills in his hand.


    Just in time, seven days had passed since the last time he took a Fire Clearing Pill, so he could take the second one now.


    This pill is specifically to enhance Divine Sense, with no requirements for Spiritual Energy. Even in the train environment, it can still be taken as usual.


    After notifying the attendant outside, Chen Mobai went to the first-class cabin lounge, sat on the bed, and began to enhance himself..

 Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: Acquaintance^

    Chapter 170: Acquaintance^


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Take care.¡±


    At the exit of the carriage, a young and beautiful stewardess bent over to bid farewell to the only passenger.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and, carrying his backpack, he followed the special passage she pointed out.


    After a long corridor, he arrived at a luxuriously decorated lounge. The lounge was situated right at the center of the station, surrounded on all sides by translucent glass. Chen Mobai glanced around and found that he cou see the outside through the glass, but people outside seemed unable to see inside.


    ¡°Hello, are you a student at Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    A female staff member dressed in a blue uniform approached him; her tone was soft, her face bearing a gentle smile.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Please rest here for a while. Your school¡¯s shuttle will arrive in twenty minutes. Would you like something to drink?¡±


    Chen requested a glass of water, then settled himself on a small couch. He looked around and saw that there were, including him, six people in the lounge: three adults and two youngsters, a boy and a girl, around his age.


    The boy had a youthful face, deeply engrossed in a Rubik¡¯s cube he held in his hands.


    The girl was sitting sideways to him, her face half-covered by a face mask as she focused on her phone.


    After observing them for a moment, Chen was about to take out the Two-Phase Gong to meditate when he suddenly saw something, causing him to take another glance at the girl.


    She seemed familiar to him, maybe because her attire was too similar to Qing


    Nu¡¯S.


    ¡°Those two are also students from your school.¡±


    The staff member set down a glass of water on the table in front of him, and


    she said quietly.


    Chen Mobai nodded briefly.


    The immortal Sects had thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, an innumerable number of geniuses.


    Since he was able to gain admission to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, naturally, there would be others who were as brilliant, or even more stunning than him, who were also admitted.


    He wondered what their background was?


    Chen Mobai was not a sociable person thus he did not take the initiative to introduce himself.


    The other two seemed to be the same; all three of them sat quietly in their own


    seats.


    Conversely, the three older cultivators sat together, laughing and chatting, apparently people of some status in their sects. They seemed to be aware of them being students of Dance Tool Dao Academy, their gaze occasionally resting on them.


    ¡°Sir, the shuttle is here. Do you need help with your luggage?


    Chen Mobai only carried a backpack; he shook his head ¨C he could handle it himself.


    The staff member similarly asked the others, all of whom also declined.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    The door to the lounge opened, and Chen Mobai who was sitting closest walked out first, only to find many passengers gathered on either side of the door. Seemingly aware that there were new students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy inside, they constantly took snapshots with their phones.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was perplexed. Even though the Dance Tool Dao Academy was famous, people from Crimson City came across them daily, so why such a frenzy?


    He took out a cap from his backpack and put it on, hiding his face. His sister, Wang Xinying, had gifted him with this cap when he left Red Sandstone City; now it came in handy.


    A shuttle with only two rows of seats stopped at the doorway. The driver came out and motioned for Chen Mobai to sit in the back row.


    The young boy exited shortly after, taking up the shotgun seat.


    The girl came out last. Now, Chen Mobai could finally see her in full: a tight yellow dress beautifully outlined her slender waist and long legs.


    The hem of the dress ended just above her knees, revealing a section of her perfectly white and delicate thighs, as well as her straight and beautiful calves Adding to this was her white pointed heels, revealing the most beautiful pair 0 legs Chen Mobai had ever seen.


    With only one seat left, she had no option but to sit beside Chen Mobai. In addition to her previous features, she now wore a pair of sunglasses, disguising almost all of her face with her face mask.


    ¡°Odd person.¡±


    That was Chen Mobai¡¯s silent judgement of her. He let down his backpack from his shoulder and placed it beside his feet.


    ¡°Please make sure you haven¡¯t left anything behind, we¡¯re about to depart.¡± After the shuttle bus driver said this, he sat down in his seat and started driving towards the exit.


    Many people lingering outside the lounge became suddenly excited on sighting the girl by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°That must be Meng Huang!¡±


    ¡°Only she would conceal her identity.¡±


    ¡°Quick, quick¡­¡±


    In the frenzy of shutter clicks, Chen Mobai noticed many covert paparazzi hiding in the crowd, taking shots of them continuously.


    Wait a minute, they were saying¡­ Meng Huang!


    Chen Mobai swiftly turned his head to look at the slender girl next to him, decked out in a mask and sunglasses. It was no wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity the moment he saw her.


    It was actually her!


    One of the two main stars of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, hailed as the musical genius most likely to master the ¡°Shocking God Sonata.¡± Back in Red Sandstone City, he and Qing Nu had once gone together to watch her perform.


    Back then, he and Qing Nu each had specific goals: he was there for Meng Huang while Qing Nu was there for Jiang Yuyuan.


    For this reason, he had a deep impression of Meng Huang. After all, this was his first close encounter with a mega-celebrity. He almost forgot that she was also a student at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Her teacher, Bian Yiqing, was the person who enabled Chen Mobai to enroll in the school.


    Seeing the press surrounding her from all sides, Meng Huang sighed, shrinking further into her seat, hoping to vanish under the glare of the camera flashes.


    ¡°Master, we should leave quickly.¡± Chen Mobai called out to the stunned driver. He quickly took off his own hat and placed it on Meng Huang¡¯s head, helping her block all the flashes.


    ¡°Oh, sure!¡±


    Immediately, a station staff member came over and unleashed a Magic Artifact to create a path for their shuttle.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai unexpectedly heard a soft whisper of gratitude. He almost thought he had misheard.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I owe a favor to teacher Bian. If I come across a situation like yours, rd definitely help.¡±


    Meng Huang lifted her head and stole a glance at Chen Mobai. Her clear eyes sparkled behind the sunglasses, then she nodded her head again to express her thanks.


    ¡°To think we¡¯d be at the same station as Meng Huang.¡±


    At another end, Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu, carrying their luggage, had just cleared security and entered the main hall. Upon hearing the hubbub around them and learning what had transpired, Gu Mingxuan couldn¡¯t resist showing his disappointment.


    This was the goddess of his dreams. If he¡¯d known, he would have left his baggage behind for a chance to glimpse her true face.


    ¡°Hey!¡±


    At that moment, Wen Xiong sauntered over, acting all cool in front of Shi Wanyu and left her a remark.


    ¡°I¡¯ll prove that your choice was wrong. I¡¯m stronger than that guy.¡± Having said that, he walked off immediately.


    Leaving Shi Wanyu gaping, completely clueless as to what he was talking about.


    -I¡¯ve got a front view shot of Meng Huang, who wants it? Selling with negatives for 2000 Good Deed Points, a one-off deal!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At that moment, a paparazzo inside the station was naming his price for Meng Huang¡¯s photos, which were quickly snapped up by a mysterious buyer.


    ¡°Who still uses film these days.¡±


    GU Mingxuan clicked his tongue and then pulled out his phone to check the Meng Huang fan community.


    Sure enough, plenty of pictures from today had been uploaded.


    Then he opened his eyes wide in surprise..

 Chapter 171 - Chapter 171: Crimson Mountain_l

    Chapter 171: Crimson Mountain_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Gu Mingxuan clearly saw a series of photos featuring a handsome, young teenage boy and Meng Huang sitting together, talking intimately. Particularly catching was the shot where the boy tenderly put a sun hat on the latter. His face radiated affection while the young girl looked astonished ¡ª the shot was brilliantly vivid and expressive.


    ¡°Why is he everywhere?¡±


    Gu Mingxuan recognized Chen Mobai at once.


    Out of the corner of her eye, Wanyu, who was standing to the side, glanced at the series of photos. Her expression subtly stiffened, but she began to explain for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Meng Huang is also from Dance Tool Dao Academy. As it seems she was specially admitted last year. In fact, she¡¯s technically Chen Mobai¡¯s senior. It¡¯s only reasonable that being from the same college, they went to Crimson Mountain together.¡±


    Even as Wanyu spoke, there was a flash of regret in her beautiful eyes.


    Truly, only a favored daughter of heaven would be compatible with a favored son like Chen Mobai.


    Meanwhile, on the other side.


    Chen Mobai and Meng Huang had already boarded the bus provided by the academy for student transportation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other, I¡¯m Ma Xiaoming.¡±


    Another Dance Tool Dao Academy student on the bus with them suddenly paused his Rubik¡¯s Cube, turned his head towards Chen Mobai, and reached out his hand.


    ¡°Chen Mobai.¡±


    ¡°I come from Huayang Dongtian, and you?¡±


    ¡°Red Sandstone City.¡±


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re from a blessed land. You must be one of the lucky ones who got in during the expanded recruitment this year. Too bad, I thought you were an elite.¡±


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, upon hearing just a few words from Chen Mobai, Ma Xiaoming lost interest.


    After knowing Chen Mobai was from a Blessed Land, he turned his head back and continued to play with the Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hand.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat bewildered.


    Was regional discrimination so severe among the inhabitants of the 36 Dongtian?


    ¡°Those students who got into the academy through their genuine abilities generally look down on us, who are assumed to have got in through backdoor channels.¡±


    A pleasant voice sounded off in his ear as a sun hat was handed over by a fair hand.


    ¡°But I also officially passed the examination.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the hat handed over by Meng Huang and put it in his bag, stating so with a bit of dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Due to the pressure from the Immortal Sects, the four Great Dao Academies expanded their recruitment quota this year. All the freshmen admitted from the 72 Blessed Lands are generally regarded as the same as me ¡ª considered to have got in through special means.¡±


    The words of Meng Huang confused Chen Mobai somewhat.


    ¡°So, you, a great star in Dance Tool Dao Academy, are also discriminated against?¡±


    ¡°Just to clarify, it¡¯s not discrimination. We just feel that you are entering the academy too easily, which seems enormously unfair to us who have studied hard for ten years only to scrape by.¡±


    Ma Xiaoming¡¯s words came from the front seat.


    ¡°He¡¯s a second-year student from Dance Tool Dao Academy and a talent who stood out from Huayang Dongtian ¡ª the region with the largest number of students and the fiercest competition.¡±


    Meng Huang softly turned her head towards Chen Mobai¡¯s ear and quietly introduced Ma Xiaoming¡¯s background.


    ¡°Huayang Dongtian? Isn¡¯t that under the domain of Kunpeng Daoist Institute? If he is so talented, why didn¡¯t he go there? It¡¯s even close to his home.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai asked, slightly scratching his head in confusion.


    Crack.


    Ma Xiaoming suddenly trembled, crushing the Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hand.


    ¡°Hee hee.¡±


    Meng Huang laughed happily but quickly put her hand over her mouth, trying to repress her mirth though failing to completely hide the smile at the comers of her mouth.


    ¡°Hmph, I lost to a competitor who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 18. So, I could only come to Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    The words coming from Ma Xiaoming made Chen Mobai gasp for breath.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment at the age of 18? Where is this monster from?¡± ¡°Approximately every few years, a monster like this appears. Among the freshmen admitted to the academy this year, there seems to be such a monster.¡±


    Meng Huang bit her lip and softly spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Are there many?¡±


    ¡°Well, I guess not.¡±


    Meng Huang was uncertain, hesitating as she shook her head.


    ¡°No, there seems to be quite many of these anomalies this year, so many that each academy can have one.¡±


    The ahead Ma Xiaoming turned his head and gazed at Chen Mobai with a sympathetic look.


    ¡°The quality of the freshmen in Dance Tool Dao Academy this year is really polarized. You might become a counter example, compared with the genius who established his foundation at eighteen and remembered by the whole school.¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, aren¡¯t there any other freshmen recruited by the seventy-two blessed lands?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Ma Xiaoming was targeting him. Could it be because of Meng Huang¡¯s affection towards him?


    But it shouldn¡¯t be, since he got on the car, Ma Xiaoming had barely looked at Meng Huang, even to the point of mocking her being enrolled based on special consideration.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that, I just checked the information on this year¡¯s freshmen. Your score is the lowest, so low that you should not have been admitted.¡±


    Ma Xiaoming pulled out his mobile phone and looked at Chen Mobai with some confusion. He fails to understand what¡¯s so special about him that the academy would lower the overall admission score.


    ¡°I was lucky. The entrance exam happened to be what I¡¯m good at.¡±


    Regarding his low score, Chen Mobai admitted.


    After all, there was indeed a gap between him and the real geniuses, so he handled it humbly.


    ¡°I hope I won¡¯t see you next year.¡±


    At this moment, the car already arrived at the main entrance of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After Chen Mobai got out of the car, he looked up to see the golden sign of the academy.


    They were at the foot of the mountain where a long stairway reaching the top connected the upper and lower parts. The middle was filled with enumerable mountain fog, and each stone platform projected out vaguely, with buildings standing on them.


    Ma Xiaoming had already gone up the mountain, disappearing into the fog.


    ¡°Go, the dormitory for freshmen is at the foot of the mountain. You can see it after walking up just a few dozens of stairs.¡±


    Meng Huang waved at Chen Mobai, picked up her luggage, and headed in another direction.


    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you going to the academy?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t get along well with my dormitory peers, so I rented a place outside.¡±


    Meng Huang said with a smile. She turned her back, leaving a delicate figure, slowly fading away.


    After watching her departure, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, patting his forehead.


    He forgot to ask for her contact info!


    Nevermind, they¡¯re in the same academy and she¡¯s so famous. There will definitely be opportunities to meet again.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai started to ascend Crimson Mountain.


    The moment his foot landed on the stair, he could feel a mild spiritual power gushing in. With each step, it got hotter.


    In his Dantian Qi Sea, the spiritual power vortex of Pure Yang Scroll suddenly began to rotate on its own, absorbing and refining this gentle spiritual power.


    After just ten steps, he even felt like he was about to break through.


    Is this the rank-5 spiritual land of Crimson Mountain!


    Before coming to Chen Mobai, he naturally looked up a lot of information about Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The rank-5 spirit vein of Crimson Mountain mainly contains gold, earth and fire attributes of spiritual energy. Therefore, students with outstanding spiritual root talent in water and wood attributes might not choose to come here even if they get into Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll found this place to be the best cultivation holy land.


    This stairway seemed to be a magic artifact itself. After sensing the pure yang spiritual power in his body, it filtered out the gold and earth spiritual energy, providing the purest fire spiritual energy for Chen Mobai to absorb.


    Just because of this rank-5 spiritual land, even if he has to stick around, he¡¯s going to stick around here for ten years!


    Chen Mobai made up his mind!

 Chapter 172 - Chapter 172: Just This Building_l

    Chapter 172: Just This Building_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Soon enough, Chen Mobai arrived at the first stone platform.


    Two people, a man and a woman who were in charge of welcoming new students, were sitting behind a long desk. Seeing Chen Mobai approaching, they immediately waved him over.


    Unlike Ma Xiaoming, they didn¡¯t discriminate against him and once they confirmed his admission certificate and identity, they assigned him a dormitory and issued his student card.


    ¡°Good, your information has now been entered into the school¡¯s system.¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy Library and classes all require your student card, but of course, you can also link your student card to your phone. Most places accept electronic student cards, with the only exception being the Dance Instruments Hall.¡±


    ¡°Only the physical student card can be used to enter there. Additionally, the library in the Daoist Academy provides free access to Cultivation Technique books for its students. But if you want to download, you need the corresponding permissions.¡±


    ¡°Generally speaking, those practicing Qi Cultivation can only download related materials.¡±


    The student taking care of enrolment gave an example, and Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    ¡°Alright, your advisor is¡­ Huh¡­ It¡¯s actually Zhenren Shaoyang¡­¡±


    The student entered Chen Mobai¡¯s information and checked the allocation from the Daoist Academy, she looked surprised.


    ¡°Did they make a mistake? This Zhenren has been in retreat for ten years.¡±


    After refreshing the page to confirm there was no mistake, she looked at Chen Mobai with sympathetic eyes.


    ¡°May I ask, is there a problem with this Zhenren Shaoyang?¡±


    ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s been in retreat for a long time. If you¡¯re assigned under his name, you might not see him for a decade or so. But don¡¯t worry, students at the Daoist Academy are free to choose courses of their interest. As long as you can accumulate 10 credits by the end of the term, and don¡¯t fail any tests over three years, you won¡¯t be asked to leave the academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the opportunity to ask which courses were easier to get credits from, and how to spend the least amount of time to accumulate enough credits.


    ¡°I guess it depends on you, I can¡¯t say much.¡±


    The senior student, who tied her hair in a ponytail and wore round glasses, looked very elegant. She avoided discussing Chen Mobai¡¯s question further.


    ¡°Here, this is your student card.¡±


    At this moment, the male student on the side grabbed a rectangular badge from a small laser cutter on the desk. It had just finished being processed.


    Chen Mobai took it and discovered it was also a Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Keep it safe. For replacements, you need 100 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After thanking them, Chen Mobai continued onwards, quickly arriving at the new student dormitory building.


    He walked in and found his dorm on the third floor¡­ Room 303! After pushing the door open, Chen Mobai found he was the first to arrive.


    It was a four-person room.


    This won¡¯t work.


    On top of the stone platform where new students were received, the senior student brother and sister who had just sat down watched Chen Mobai come down again.


    ¡°Huh, did you put your things down so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Is there any single-room accommodation available at the school?¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and then asked a question that made both of them exchanged glances.


    ¡°We do have some better conditioned double rooms, and if you want a single room, you¡¯ll have to go to faculty housing. But you definitely won¡¯t be able to stay there.¡±


    The senior student, who thought that Chen Mobai came from a wealthy family and wasn¡¯t used to dorms, told him upfront to break his illusion.


    ¡°This won¡¯t work!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head again, then asked a question that both of them didn¡¯t know how to answer.


    ¡°Can new students rent a house off-campus?¡±


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s no rule against it, but the Grade of the Spirit Veins outside Crimson Mountain definitely can¡¯t compare to those inside the school. Are you sure you want to rent a house outside?¡±


    Chen Mobai had too many secrets to keep. Plus, he had just been admitted to the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm, and he needed to travel frequently between the two realms. He definitely needed to live alone.


    However, the senior student sister made a point; if he can¡¯t enjoy the benefits of Crimson Mountain, a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, it would be counterproductive.


    ¡°There are cultivation rooms in the school, right?¡±


    But soon, Chen Mobai realized something.


    It wouldn¡¯t make sense that the Daoist Academy allows students to cultivate in their dorms. They definitely must have special places for cultivation.


    ¡°Of course, there are, from the lowest Rank-2 to highest Rank-4. They¡¯re provided free of charge to teachers and students according to their cultivation Realms.¡±


    ¡°What about Rank-5?¡±


    ¡°A Rank-5 could be used, but only with the application of a real-level professor and the approval of the Dean.¡±


    After saying that, student counselor realized she might be providing too much information. This was irrelevant to the new students; they didn¡¯t need to know this.


    ¡°If you really want to live off-campus, it would be best to let your adviser know.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t my adviser in retreat? I don¡¯t even have his contact information.¡±


    Chen Mobai shrugged, at a loss. The counselor and the senior student glanced at each other, agreeing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave first then.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai, with his backpack, went down the mountain.


    He walked in the direction where Meng Huang disappeared for about ten minutes and indeed found a modern small town.


    After asking a few people, he quickly found a house agency.


    ¡°Young man, what are your requirements for rental housing?¡±


    ¡°A quieter place, preferably a detached house in a less populated area.¡±


    ¡°I see, you¡¯re looking for the villa district, but the rent might be a bit expensive.¡±


    The agent showed Chen Mobai a few houses, but he wasn¡¯t satisfied.


    ¡°Do you have any cave dwelling villas in the mountains here? There should be one every few hundred meters, but make sure it has electricity, water, and spiritual energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai further specified his demands.


    The agent looked embarrassed.


    ¡°We do have some, but most of them are already rented by masters who came to retreat in the Crimson Mountain range. The rest are in poor locations.¡±


    ¡°Take me to see.¡±


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai was brought to a two-story wooden house located in a mountain ravine.


    ¡°It¡¯s by the hill and water, only the lighting isn¡¯t very good.¡±


    The agent led Chen Mobai into the house, looking a bit embarrassed. The house was quite dusty and had sparse furniture ¨C only wooden bed, table, and chairs, no appliances.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai looked up and from the second-floor balcony, he saw a luxurious wooden villa at the top of the mountain, taking up all the beautiful scenery and views.


    ¡°That¡¯s the dwelling place of the superstar, Meng Huang. She often comes out in the mornings to do her vocal exercises. If you live here, you will be woken up by her beautiful voice every day. That¡¯s the main advantage of this wooden house.¡±


    Facing this rundown wooden house, the agent couldn¡¯t think of any other selling points. After cleaning the dust with a Cleaning Technique, he could only point at the mountain-top villa and say this.


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, remembered the dream he had when he first heard Meng Huang sing and immediately decided.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take this one!¡±

 Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: Critical Law l

    Chapter 173: Critical Law l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have high demands for living conditions.


    He could live comfortably even in an environment like Green Light Island, let alone a small mountainside villa in the Immortal Sect, complete with water and electricity, internet, and abundant spiritual energy.


    However, after the estate agent left and he made a detailed inspection, he realized something.


    Didn¡¯t this log cabin seem like it was made by a talisman?


    He took several photos and sent them to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop, who, after inspection, gave a confirmative answer.


    Indeed, it was.


    Chen Mobai could only sigh at the marvel of immortal cultivation civilization ¨C even in the construction industry, money couldn¡¯t be made.


    He checked the rental agreement once more to confirm that the land where the log cabin was located was legal, then he put his mind at ease.


    Since he had already cleaned it once using the Cleaning Technique, the interior of the log cabin was now spotless.


    After going out to buy some basic daily necessities, he returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The two seniors who were welcoming the newcomers were still on the stone platform, so Chen Mobai went over to greet them.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had only admitted up to 49 students each year before, but this year the number was expanded due to pressure from the Immortal Sect. Still, the total number of students was relatively low, so the two seniors responsible for welcoming the newcomers were quite relaxed.


    After chatting with them for a while, Chen Mobai finally learned their names.


    The male senior was called Meng Mu.


    The female senior was named Qu Hongyu.


    Both were seventh graders, had reached perfection in the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, and were planning to attempt Foundation Establishment within the year.


    ¡°By the way, seniors, have you used the Foundation Building Treasure?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this software. He wanted to know if other factors could be added to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Of course, we¡¯ve used it. If we follow the conditions we¡¯ve envisioned, there¡¯s basically a 55% chance of successfully establishing our foundations,¡± said Qu Hongyu.


    At Qu Hongyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    How could the success rate of Foundation Establishment be raised to over fifty percent without Foundation Building Pills, given the resources of the Immortal Sect? Could there be some unknown elixir even more potent than Foundation Building Pills within the four Daoist Academies?


    If you don¡¯t know, just ask.


    Chen Mobai immediately asked humbly for guidance.


    Since he was the only new student that day, Qu Hongyu was more than willing to give this new junior some pointers. She started talking about the Daoist Academy¡¯s in-depth research on Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment is the most crucial transformation in the process of Immortal Cultivation. It is only by crossing this threshold that one can truly be considered a cultivator. That¡¯s why cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage are known as ¡®True Cultivators¡¯.¡±


    ¡°To successfully establish a foundation, three steps pertaining to our body, spiritual power, and divine sense are needed. The process of Foundation Establishment involves body transmutation, spiritual power condensation, and divine sense departing the body. As these three processes must be completed at one stroke during Foundation Establishment, the failure rate is quite high.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why the ¡®Three Foundation Establishment Treasures¡¯ developed by the Immortal Sect and Daoist Academy are specifically targeted at these three steps. They ensure that, at the very least, a cultivator can pass through the transformation process of body, spiritual power, and divine sense.¡±


    ¡°However, even though the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures are mystical, they are just a substitute for Foundation Building Pills and can¡¯t aid in the final unified transformation and transmutation of the body, spiritual power, and divine sense. Therefore, the key to Foundation Establishment still lies in the cultivator¡¯s own willpower.¡±


    After listening to Qu Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement. He caught the most critical point ¨C Foundation Building Pills are still the best to use.


    Seeing his earnestness in wanting to learn, Qu Hongyu, deeming him a teachable student, continued to explain.


    ¡°But willpower is too abstract. So to significantly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the leader of the Immortal Sect from 800 years ago led an effort for the Jumang Daoist Academy to partner with the Imperial Medical Academy in conducting an in-depth research on the transformation process.¡±


    ¡°After observing cultivators establishing their foundations for thousands of times, they derived a set of ¡®Critical Methods¡¯.¡±


    ¡°This cultivation technique can help cultivators to halt at certain critical junctures during the transformation of their body, spiritual power, and divine sense, allowing them to not waste their energy on the initial three-step transformation process and focus all their attention on the final transmutation.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the success rate of Foundation Establishment began to increase significantly. In recent centuries, our four Daoist Academies have students who have successfully practiced the Critical Methods and, combined with the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures and other external conditions, have made the success rate of Foundation Establishment exceed fifty percent.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened, a bit confused.


    He didn¡¯t understand what the Critical Methods were or how they worked to halt the transformation process.


    So, he humbly asked for more explanation.


    Qu Hongyu was not weary of his questions, she added him as a friend and sent him some documentation.


    She then instructed Chen Mobai to read the documentation while she explained further.


    ¡°Let¡¯s use a simple example. During the process of Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s the step of body transmutation. You can complete this step before Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°And after the body has undergone transformation, it will automatically trigger the spiritual power to condense. Many people are only able to complete the first transformation step¡ªbody transmutation¡ªand lack the energy to complete the condensation of spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°But with the Critical Methods, you can interrupt this automatic process. After completing the body transmutation step, you can halt progression right there. When you feel that you have accumulated enough energy for spiritual power condensation, you can lift the halt and start the next step.¡±


    ¡°In this manner, if you have strong enough foundation, naturally, you would complete the three major steps in one go, culminating in transmutation. If your foundation is not enough, then you can stop after the second step of spiritual power condensation, and prevent the divine sense from leaving the body.¡±


    ¡°This is the Critical Methods. It was inspired from the ancient method ¡®Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡¯, discovered by a genius from the Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    After listening to Qu Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs-up.


    For the Immortal Sect, this was indeed an earth-shattering contribution.


    No wonder the success rate of Foundation Establishment in the four Daoist Academies could reach up to eighty or ninety percent.


    However, why didn¡¯t they spread such an extraordinary method and let the public know?


    If this was the Tianhe Realm, definitely because they hated to part with it.


    But here on the Immortal Sect¡¯s side, even the most recent research knowledge could be paid for and accessed on specific websites by the public if they were willing.


    Confused, Chen Mobai asked Qu Hongyu about this. The latter shook her head.


    ¡°The Immortal Sect did try to promote it, but this cultivation technique has a drawback: the threshold for cultivation is extremely high. Ordinary people may not be able to grasp it even after decades of practice. With that amount of time, they could have tried to establish their foundation.¡±


    ¡°How high is it?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai was very worried. He¡¯d recently been struggling to comprehend Longevity Sutra and Diphase Technique, and if the Critical Methods were indeed difficult to comprehend, he felt he might be out of luck.


    ¡°It¡¯s still acceptable for us in the four Daoist Academies. After all, the students who get admitted to our academies are all prodigies, so most of us can comprehend it.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai relaxed a little. He thought he got the lowest admission score because he broke through to the late stage of Qi cultivation very late and didn¡¯t have time to study. He believed he was admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy for being a prodigy: there was no way he would be unable to understand it!


    ¡°But when the Critical Methods were disseminated to the ten academies, only one percent of people could comprehend it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s even more needless to say when it comes to the Hundred and Twenty Prefectures. The student resources of one hundred and twenty universities combined didn¡¯t necessarily produce one person who could comprehend it..¡±

 Chapter 174 - Chapter 174: What a coincidence !

    Chapter 174: What a coincidence !


    Translator: 549690339


    Is it really that difficult?


    Chen Mobai felt doubtful. Could it be that the four major Daoist Academies are hiding some cultivation tricks and are keeping them secret?


    However, he couldn¡¯t ask this directly. After all, he had already enrolled and he has a decade to research.


    Qu Hongyu proceeded to talk about the limitations of the ¡°critical technique.¡±


    The longer one gets stuck, the more challenging the following transformative steps become.


    According to the sample of cultivators over the past five hundred years, it¡¯s best not to be stuck for more than ten years. Ideally, completing all steps within ten years is the best.


    The Imperial Medical Academy offered a specific subject to study Foundation Establishment.


    According to their latest research, the spontaneous interaction of the three steps during Foundation Establishment is because of a particular frequency that can affect the ultimate transformation and ascension.


    If one gets stuck for too long, this frequency will be disrupted, resulting in a failed attempt at the final ascension, no matter how successful the three main steps were.


    Chen Mobai accepted all this humbly.


    Under Qu Hongyu¡¯s guidance, he made a visit to the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After swiping his student ID, he found a bookshelf pertaining to Foundation Establishment, which contained various books about the ¡°critical technique¡±.


    ¡°Detailed Explanation of the Critical Technique¡±, ¡°Understanding Criticality¡±, ¡°Exploring the Original of the Critical Technique ¨C Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡±, ¡°How to Get Stuck¡±, ¡°Critical Technique¡±¡­


    Chen Mobai felt his horizons broadened. However, judging by the amount of books, he estimated it would take at least a month to finish reading and understanding them.


    There¡¯s just too much knowledge to digest in the world of cultivation.


    He didn¡¯t even know where to start.


    He decided to borrow the most basic book, ¡°The Origin of the Critical Technique¡±.


    After borrowing the book, Chen Mobai visited the cave dwelling of his tutor, the real person of Shaoyang, left a message on the message board at the entrance to show that he had been there, and then returned to his rented wooden house.


    Since school was still three days away, Chen Mobai teleported back to the Divine Wood Sect to complete the log chopping task.


    As soon as he reached the Tianhe Realm, he took out his phone, switched accounts, and keyed in ¡°critical technique¡± into the auxiliary cultivation software.


    As expected, the software didn¡¯t disappoint him; instantly, dozens of related posts popped up.


    Chen Mobai glanced through and noticed many anonymous posts. One bitterly expressed that they had cultivated for ten years without getting a breakthrough, advising newcomers not to waste their time.


    Another mentioned minor progress, but suggested that it wasn¡¯t worth practising as it required too much time.


    After reading all of these, only two cultivators from the four major Daoist Academies had objectively shared their experiences about cultivating the critical technique.


    However, it did nothing to help Chen Mobai, who was still as confused as ever.


    This technique required understanding, and had nothing to do with Spirit Root Talent.


    One would be considered successful if they could perceive how to lock the essence blood, close the energy channel, open and close the Purple Palace.


    Another cultivator from the Imperial Medical Academy provided a learning approach: read the original book, read the detailed explanation, study others¡¯ experiences, learn how to get stuck, and finally, if you still can¡¯t practice successfully, you can explore the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets.


    ¡°Huh, there¡¯s content locked to high-level members only.¡±


    At the end of the post, Chen Mobai noticed a page that required the highest level of membership to view.


    This corresponds to the theoretical Rank-5.


    Coincidentally, that¡¯s his rank.


    With a spark of curiosity, Chen Mobai clicked on it and uncovered content the post owner had intentionally hidden as if not wanting anyone to see it.


    ¡°I mastered the critical technique under a very fortuitous circumstance, when I was researching how to maintain my vital essence after sexual activity, aiming to enjoy the pleasure while retaining my virginity.¡±


    ¡°For this study, I delved deep into research and fieldwork. Innumerable self-funded sessions in seeking special services later, I had a sudden realization during one of these experiences.¡±


    ¡°I mastered the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets.¡±


    ¡°Then, by reverse-engineering the critical technique, I had no difficulty in mastering it.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, it was too late when I managed to successfully cultivate it. I¡¯d lost my vital essence but the successful cultivation of the critical technique and subsequent success in Foundation Establishment brought me immense joy.¡±


    ¡°This post commemorates a research project that was somewhat absurd.¡±


    The last line signed off with [Imperial Medical Academy ¨C Tian Wenguang]!


    After reading the entire post, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire him deeply.


    He doesn¡¯t admire many people in his life. Qing Ping, the cultivator of Five Elements Cultivation, is one, and now Tian Wenguang is the second.


    Someone who could attain enlightenment during such an activity¡­ His realm was high and unheard of.


    However, despite his admiration, as a clean and principled person, Chen Mobai had no intention of following in Tian Wenguang¡¯s footsteps.


    Even if he failed in Foundation Establishment, dropped in realm, was ridiculed, or even if the Dance Tool Dao Academy advised him to withdraw, he would absolutely not stoop to seeking special services!


    But he could learn from Wenguang¡¯s study strategy.


    However, his current priority was the Immortality Sutra and Duality Cultivation.


    After showing his face to Yuan Chiye and the fellow disciples, Chen Mobai picked up the axe and went into the Red Sun Forest to chop wood.


    The Red Sun Tree was hard and resistant. Even though he had strengthened the axe with a sharp talisman, it took him ten to twenty swings to chop a tree.


    After felling a tree, he had to saw it into one-meter sections and then split it into small logs about three fingers wide.


    Chen Mobai spent nearly four hours processing one tree into 120 pieces of Red Sun Wood in accordance with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s standards.


    This won¡¯t do!


    Chen Mobai set aside the axe, used a spell to neatly stack the chopped wood, and was slightly panting after delivering them to the Bud Hall. He thought he didn¡¯t have much time to spare on chopping wood.


    Regardless of exposure, when he returned to the wooden house on Crimson Mountain, he went online immediately to order a portable chainsaw and table saw.


    The chainsaw for cutting trees, the table saw for chopping logs.


    Despite these two tools being the lowest specification, they still cost him nearly 800 Good Deed Points.


    Unfortunately, due to these being categorized as offensive mechanical magic artifacts, he needed to register with a legitimate purpose and identification before they could be shipped.


    Conveniently, Chen Mobai lived in the mountains and had a genuine excuse; he wished to renovate his wooden house.


    The vendor didn¡¯t inquire much and promptly agreed to dispatch the order the next morning. They informed that upon delivery, some assembly would be required.


    As the vendor was located in Crimson City, the product arrived in the afternoon. Chen Mobai even had to use a Path Seeking Talisman since his residence was a bit tricky to find.


    Upon delivery, Chen Mobai followed the vendor¡¯s video tutorial to assemble the chainsaw and table saw.

    He went back to the Divine Wood Sect in the evening. When everyone else was practicing their Qi cultivation, he snuck off with the two pieces of machinery to the usual place where he chopped wood.


    He put a Quiet Talisman on the machines to mute their noise and used a Spirit Seeking Talisman to ensure nobody was around. And then, he switched on the machines and started sawing.


    The next morning¡­


    Yuan Chiye was flabbergasted as he looked at the 2100 perfectly standard pieces of Red Sun Wood, each appearing as if precisely measured with a ruler before being chopped, that Chen Mobai handed over.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, this is my quota for seven days. I¡¯m going to take another seven days off for closed-door cultivation..¡±

 Chapter 175 - Chapter 175: Chopping Logs Sword Technique_l

    Chapter 175: Chopping Logs Sword Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Over two thousand Red Sun Wood logs piled up at the entrance were immediately attracting the attention of all the disciples at Bud Hall.


    Chen Mobai saw Zhuo Ming, Yu Lian, and the siblings from the Luo family all emerging from their rooms, all watching the scene in disbelief.


    Yuan Chiye was also a little surprised.


    Even if he did it himself, he couldn¡¯t chop so many logs in one night.


    This kind of speed and efficiency, perhaps only elder cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who have specifically practiced a log-chopping spell, could achieve.


    Were these purchased with Spirit Stones from the sect¡¯s Fang Market?


    But right away, Yuan Chiye shook his head. Why should he bother with these things? All he needed was to collect enough Red Sun Wood logs.


    After confirming that the quantity was correct, Yuan Chiye immediately approved Chen Mobai¡¯s request for another closed-door cultivation session.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, can you introduce us to your method?¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was about to disappear into his room, he was suddenly stopped by the Luo siblings. Luo Yixiu asked seriously.


    ¡°What method?¡±


    Chen Mobai was utterly confused.


    ¡°If Junior Brother Chen doesn¡¯t want to share, then forget it.¡±


    Frowning slightly, Luo Yixiu expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Mobai¡¯s pretentious behaviour.


    This aristocratic child is so annoying!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wenbo suddenly walked over with a few people.


    ¡°Senior Brother Luo, don¡¯t you have your own channel for buying Red Sun Wood logs? Why are you asking Brother Chen?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by this?¡±


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s face darkened slightly when he heard Liu Wenbo¡¯s words.


    ¡°Senior Brother Luo, there are some things we don¡¯t need to make too explicit, so as not to put Senior Brother Yuan in a difficult position.¡±


    Liu Wenbo spoke calmly, while Yuan Chiye approved with a look.


    ¡°Very well!¡±


    Although Luo Yixiu also believed that he could become a True Disciple in the future, he was still just a newcomer and didn¡¯t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Yuan Chiye.


    After the Luo siblings left, Zhuo Ming and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, also came over and expressed their solidarity with Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo.


    Chen Mobai never expected them to do so, but his affection for Liu Wenbo greatly increased.


    ¡°Can we buy our own Red Sun Wood logs to meet the quota?¡±


    As an expression of gratitude, Chen Mobai asked as he invited Liu Wenbo in for tea. Zhuo Ming and the others also thickened their faces and followed.


    ¡°Yes, the Luo siblings and I have bought logs from the sect¡¯s Fang Market before for Senior Brother Yuan¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t hide anything and admitted with a nod.


    ¡°At what price?¡±


    Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t help asking. Recently, she switched to practicing the Longevity Scripture and her realm hadn¡¯t recovered yet. The efficiency of her wood-cutting wasn¡¯t ideal, and she was behind by several hundred logs.


    ¡°One lower-grade Spirit Stone for 500 logs.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked pained.


    She decided to work harder herself, getting up early and going to bed late to chop wood.


    She silently cursed the wealthy disciples for their abundance of Spirit Stones¡ª they couldn¡¯t even be bothered to chop wood and used Spirit Stones to buy it.


    ¡°Brother Chen, when we go to the Fang Market to buy Red Sun Wood logs, we can only buy enough for two days. How did you manage to buy so many at once?¡±


    Liu Wenbo couldn¡¯t resist his curiosity and asked Chen Mobai.


    [These were chopped by me!]


    But if he said this, no one would believe it. To prove it, he might have to reveal the mechanical magical tools from Earth-source Star, such as the chainsaw.


    Chen Mobai could only pretend to look mysterious.


    ¡°I have my sources, but I can¡¯t share them with you.¡±


    ¡°In that case, could Senior Brother help me to buy some? I don¡¯t want too much ¨C a week¡¯s quota will do.¡±


    During their discussion, Liu Wenbo put 5 Spirit Stones on the table.


    Chen Mobai fell silent.


    In other words, if he helped chop wood for a night, he could get 5 Spirit Stones.


    Five stones overnight! The pay seemed pretty good!


    But Chen Mobai quickly came back to his senses. He didn¡¯t immediately agree, but he didn¡¯t refuse either. After all, Liu Wenbo had given him a hand-copied scripture on longevity, a favor he remembered.


    ¡°1 will contact the seller for you, but whether it¡¯ll work out, depends on their preference. But I will try my best for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were watertight, as if he really did have a seller who could provide him with Red Sun Wood logs.


    ¡°In that case, I am grateful for Senior Brother Chen¡¯s help.¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly accepted this and returned the 5 Spirit Stones on the table to Liu Wenbo. Then he left the room, as if he was really going to do business.


    ¡°You follow him, and see who he is in contact with.¡±


    As Chen Mobai left, Luo Yixiu instructed one of his junior disciples.


    ¡°He is in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, if you follow him, you¡¯ll likely be found out.¡±


    Luo Yixuan stopped the junior disciple who was about to leave and took out an invisibility talisman from her storage bag.


    ¡°Take this.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai wandered around the woods and quietly activated a Rank-1 Spirit Seeking Talisman. This talisman was specifically used by the immortals to locate living creatures and could not be outsmarted by invisibility.


    He promptly spotted three people lurking in the vicinity.


    Though uncertain if all three were tailing him, he acted as if they were.


    After leading them around for half an hour, Chen Mobai returned to Bud Hall, apologetically shaking his head at Liu Wenbo.


    He informed that he had bought up all the stock of Red Sun Wood from the seller, meaning there wouldn¡¯t be any available for the time being.


    Despite his disappointment, Liu Wenbo graciously expressed gratitude.


    ¡°What, you didn¡¯t see who he contacted?¡±


    Luo Yixiu widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing the report of the person in front of him.


    ¡°Alright, you can leave.¡±


    Luo Yixuan waved dismissively, signalling him to leave. Once they were alone, Luo Yixiu dropped his pretense and let his feelings show.


    ¡°These useless Loose Cultivators. If only we could bring the family-born disciples from our clan instead of accommodating them.¡±


    ¡°After all, everyone who enters the Divine Wood Sect aspires to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. How could they be like those family-born disciples who willingly serve us?¡±


    Luo Yixuan had a resigned expression on her face.


    ¡°Where did this Chen Guixian get so much Red Sun Wood? Didn¡¯t that person say that the most they could lose at the Earth Fire Hall was around a thousand logs per day?¡±


    Earth Fire Hall!


    The place in the Divine Wood Sect specialized for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. All the Red Sun Wood gathered by these new disciples every day was sent there by Yuan Chiye.


    The consumption of Red Sun Wood fluctuated during the process of Alchemy and Artifact Refining, which led to some shortage. Some Red Sun Wood, which on paper should have been burned during refining, found its way back into the sect¡¯s Fang Market through inside channels.


    Some cultivators interested in Alchemy and Artifact Refining would buy some.


    But Luo Yixiu, knowing this in advance through the elders of their Liu family in the Divine Wood Sect, would spend Spirit Stones to buy this surplus Red Sun Wood, leaving more time for himself and his sister to cultivate.


    ¡°That is a minor issue. The key is, how did Liu Wenbo find out about it?¡±


    ¡°After all, he is from the Liu family. It¡¯s normal for him to have some channels.¡±


    While the Luo siblings were discussing this, Liu Wenbo also shared his unintentional discovery.


    ¡°You said, on the Red Sun Wood given to Brother Yuan by the Luo siblings that day, there were marks you made while chopping logs?¡±


    ¡°Exactly. It was from that moment I found out that Brother Yuan was also in the know. After that, I privately made connections. Only, the brother who liaises with me from Earth Fire Hall mentioned that the daily amount they can acquire is limited.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    It seemed that even the celestial sector couldn¡¯t prevent greed and corruption, let alone the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°By the way, Elder Brother Chen, which of the three halls and twelve departments are you planning to go to after you finish chopping wood?¡±


    Liu Wenbo suddenly posed a question.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be tilling Spirit Fields.¡±


    However, all were surprised by Chen Mobai¡¯s answer given without any hesitation. None of them knew that Chen Mobai, after blending into the Divine Wood Sect, only had one goal left; to obtain the Foundation Building Pill. He now only hoped to avoid any distractions.


    ¡°I really admire Elder Brother Chen¡¯s indifference. Unfortunately, I am burdened by my familial commitments. I need to struggle and make my way in the halls of the sect to pave the way for those who will come in the future.¡±


    Liu Wenbo gave a bitter smile. After bidding Chen Mobai farewell, he left.


    When night fell,


    Chen Mobai once again quietly left Bud Hall, but just as he was preparing to go to the Red Sun Forest to chop logs, he found someone trailing him.


    Frowning, he took a roundabout route and returned.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai saw Yu Lian enter from outside. After some hesitation, he walked straight towards him.


    ¡°If you have extra Red Sun Wood, I¡¯m willing to buy it at twice the market price.¡±


    After saying these words, Yu Lian turned around and went back into his room.


    Turns out, chopping logs seems rather profitable in terms of Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai discovered that his investment of over eight hundred Good Deed Points might generate a profit of tens of times more.


    He went out again, but this time, thankfully, there was no one following him.


    The Giant Tree Ridge was vast and scarcely populated. Although it lacked other resources, it was rich in an abundance of trees. So many trees that every year, the Divine Wood Sect would organize a mission to cut various Spirits Woods, which were then used for building Spirit Fields.


    Red Sun Trees were the most numerous and fast-growing among them.


    Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t restrict where the new disciples should chop. As long as they contributed enough quantities, it was acceptable.


    Previously, Chen Mobai chose the location closest to Bud Hall, but now, to divert attention, he had to go a bit further.


    His chosen wood-chopping location was almost double the distance where Zhuo Ming and others usually frequented, simply to avoid detection by familiar faces.


    However, this made transportation inconvenient.


    But Chen Mobai had already thought of a solution.


    With the incentive of earning Spirit Stones, he was more motivated to operate the chainsaw.


    For two whole days and nights, he tirelessly worked, and wood chips flew around.


    That evening,


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Liu Wenbo received a sound-transmitting talisman and a Guidance Talisman from Chen Mobai. Accompanied by a few disciples, he rushed over. Seeing the piled up like mountains and countable to tens of thousands of Red Sun Wood, he could not help but gasp.


    ¡°During my logging in these woods, I happened to encounter a senior practicing his sword technique with Red Sun Wood¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a very reasonable explanation.


    After listening to this, Liu Wenbo looked at the neatly cut stump nearby and then at each ultra-standard log ¨C seemingly measured by a ruler before being cut. He immediately believed in Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    The sword technique of this wood-chopping senior is truly amazing..

 Chapter 176 - Chapter 176 Zhongli Tianyu l

    Chapter 176 Zhongli Tianyu l


    Translator: 549690339


    Inside a wooden hut on Crimson Mountain, Chen Mobai sat on his cushion.


    On the floor in front of him were the 20 Spirit Stones he had earned from two hard days of chopping logs. He found it quite laborious.


    However, chopping logs indeed seemed to be a path to wealth.


    This was the amount he earned from selling to Liu Wenbo. If he sold to Yu Lian instead, the earnings would be doubled.


    But Chen Mobai remembered the favor he received from Liu Wenbo, when he gifted him the ¡°Sutra of Everlasting Life,¡± so he decided to give Liu the Red Sun Wood logs.


    After this event, their friendship had deepened even further.


    ¡°Now I have 50 Spirit Stones, although it¡¯s still a little far from the 90 needed to cultivate the Double Sun Body. However, these Spirit Stones should be enough to last for half a year. Maybe it¡¯s time to start trying?¡± Chen Mobai muttered to himself.


    But finally, he decided to consult with the teachers of the Dance Tool Dao Academy before taking the next step.


    Even though he possessed the precious Turtle Shell, which allowed him to freely traverse between two realms, Chen Mobai felt increasingly stretched by his limited energy and found it hard to focus on the best plan he had devised.


    He even wondered whether he should abandon the Sutra of Everlasting Life and the Dual Yin-Yang Powers, and concentrate solely on cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.


    He hoped that after the semester began, he could find a teacher who could answer the doubts in his heart.


    While immersed in numerous thoughts, Chen Mobai took a rare nap.


    The next morning, Chen Mobai left his hut, shouldering a small backpack, and walked on the mountain trail towards the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    A familiar voice sounded from behind him and Chen Mobai turned his head to look.


    He saw a girl with delicate facial features, slightly curly long hair, wearing a white shirt, light-colored coat, and tight jeans that outlined her perfect waist and hip curves. She was floating above a skateboard. It was Meng Huang.


    ¡°Why are you here? Are you jogging?¡± She asked, as she took off her headphones, raising her hand to greet Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m accustomed to sleeping alone since childhood, so I rented a place.¡± Chen Mobai gave an excuse but avoided mentioning that his wooden hut was located in the valley below her villa to prevent any misunderstanding.


    ¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯ll go ahead, don¡¯t be late!¡± Meng Huang didn¡¯t suspect anything. She injected her Spiritual Power into the skateboard under her feet, put her headphones back on and sped past Chen Mobai, floating along the winding mountain trail.


    ¡°That¡¯s a nice skateboard, I should perhaps consider getting one too,¡± Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and started searching for similar products on the ¡®Xianmen¡¯ website. He found a variety of prices.


    Sorting by price, the most expensive skateboard turned out to be the one Meng Huang had just been using, costing a whopping 880,000 Good Deed Points.


    He almost gasped at the price.


    Who would dare to charge such outrageous prices?


    Chen Mobai clicked to view more details.


    Oh, it turns out to be a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    The core component is an Earth Elemental Magnet. As long as it is within the range of the Starry Earth¡¯s magnetic field, it can freely fly and float according to the terrain, over lakes and mountains.


    When he saw Meng Huang only floating along the mountain trail earlier, he thought its functionalities were simple. He didn¡¯t expect Meng Huang was only abiding by traffic regulations and not flying over the mountains.


    If he brought this Artifact to the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai could sell it for 888 Spirit Stones.


    Only if he could afford it. Moreover, it is a Rank-2 Magic Artifact specially designed for the Starry Earth¡¯s magnetic field. If brought to the Tianhe Realm, it would probably become junk.


    Checking the time, he felt he might be late and quickly stuck two Godspeed Talismans on himself.


    ¡°Hi.¡±


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai caught up with Meng Huang at the foot of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and greeted her.


    ¡°You can go ahead.¡±


    Meng Huang hesitated a bit, seemingly afraid that her presence might impact Chen Mobai¡¯s peace at school, and gently suggested.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go to the auditorium first and reserve a seat for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Meng Huang perhaps had something to do.


    While the effects of the Godspeed Talisman were still in place, he hopped lightly, instantly crossing several steps. After six or seven bounces, he arrived at the reception platform where he had conversed with Qu Hongyu and Meng Mu last time.


    However, the place was now empty.


    Chen Mobai followed the arrows marked throughout Crimson Mountain, and after climbing nearly a thousand steps, he finally arrived at an auditorium in the middle of the mountain.


    There was a receptionist at the door who let him in after scanning his student ID.


    Chen Mobai found a seat in the back corner, continued browsing for similar magic tools like Yuan Magnets Skateboard on his mobile phone, and kept an eye on the door to see when Meng Huang would enter.


    However, even when the leaders of the Daoist Academy took the stage to give their speeches, he still didn¡¯t see Meng Huang appear.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He wanted to ask, but then Chen Mobai remembered that he didn¡¯t add her as a friend on his phone.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve said my piece. Now let¡¯s invite this year¡¯s Freshman Delegate to the stage.¡±


    The leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy ended his speech very concisely. Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t even reacted when he already stepped down from the stage.


    The Freshman Delegate was a short boy with bangs covering his eyes.


    His opening remarks rendered everyone in the audience speechless.


    ¡°My name is Zhongli Tianyu.¡±


    ¡°Originally, my first choice was the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and I was accepted.¡±


    ¡°However, after evaluating my qualifications, they said I was more suited for ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ instead of the ¡®Six Resisting Sutra¡¯. So, I had no choice but to come here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s all, done!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he walked straight off the stage and returned to his seat in the first row.


    Only one thing came to Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    This guy is pretty arrogant.


    Not just him, the whole auditorium, including the new students attending the orientation ceremony and those who have been studying for several years, all looked indignantly at Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Is he the monster who established his foundation before entering school?¡±


    ¡°Yes, from the Zhongli family of the Mysterious Heavenly Cave, after all, he¡¯s a descendant of a Divinity Transformation ancestor.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he is so arrogant, he really has the means to back it up.¡±


    After hearing these remarks, Chen Mobai felt they were correct.


    If he had such a background and had already established his foundation, he suspected that he would probably be more arrogant than this kid.


    ¡°Now let¡¯s invite our student representative to the stage¡­¡±


    The subsequent ceremony went by for Chen Mobai who thought the opening ceremony of one of the four great Daoist Academies would be interesting, only to find it wasn¡¯t much different from high school.


    Despite the opening ceremony being over, he still hadn¡¯t seen Meng Huang. He was about to leave when a call from an unknown number reached him.


    After hesitating a bit, Chen Mobai answered.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the assistant guidance counselor from the academy. As your mentor, Master Shaoyang, is in seclusion, I will be guiding your cultivation temporarily to avoid affecting your studies. Are you available now?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Good, please come to the principal¡¯s office in the mountain-top teaching building. I¡¯m waiting for you here.¡±


    When the call was over, Chen Mobai suddenly realised.


    The principal¡¯s office!


    The principals of the four great Daoist Academies are all Nascent Soul experts, aren¡¯t they!


    Why choose this place to meet?

 Chapter 177 - Chapter 177: Soulful Mirror, Formless Puppet 1

    Chapter 177: Soulful Mirror, Formless Puppet 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Following the arrow directions within the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Crimson Mountain half an hour later.


    Indeed, there stood a seven-storeyed building that resembled a pagoda.


    There was a formation protecting the entrance, but Chen Mobai¡¯s student ID was the pass. After swiping it, he freely entered the tallest building on Crimson Mountain.


    He quickly arrived at the principal¡¯s office on the seventh floor.


    ¡°Please, come in!¡±


    After the knocking, the voice which had called him earlier came from inside.


    Walking in, he saw a silver-haired old man standing beside the conference table.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Chen Mobai.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, you are the earliest one to arrive. Sit for a while, there are thirteen more people.¡±


    The silver-haired old man nodded towards Chen Mobai with a smile.


    He introduced himself as Che Yucheng, the educational director from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Teacher Che.¡±


    Sometime later, two more students arrived. They greeted Che Yucheng respectfully, who responded with a smile, instructing them to take a seat. Approximately half an hour later, everyone was present, except for one person. Che Yucheng frowned slightly, made a phone call, and then shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu has some matters to deal with, and can¡¯t come for now. Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.


    He didn¡¯t expect the last person to be that Zhongli Tianyu. Given Tianyu¡¯s talents and conditions, could he also have been assigned a neglectful advisor like him?


    The reason I asked you all here was mentioned during the phone call.¡±


    Within our Dance Tool Daoist Academy, there are two Divinity Transformation Techniques. Among this year¡¯s freshmen, only you thirteen have chosen to practice these techniques.¡±


    ¡°The Pure Yang Scroll, after the modifications by the Yuan Yang, is not so bad. As long as persistent efforts are made, anyone can get started, although the improvement will be slow.¡±


    ¡°However, The Union of Differences, requires many considerations and has many restrictions. Since you all have such aspirations, the academy will naturally provide you with the utmost support.¡±


    ¡°First, we need to identify your qualifications and see if they match The Union of Differences. Furthermore, we need to see if there are any participating objects within the Immortals Sect suitable for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng walked to the front of the conference table. After a long speech, he turned and pointed to a full-length mirror sitting in the corner of the principal¡¯s office.


    The mirror was approximately two meters in height and half a meter in width. The corners were rounded, wrapped with a maroon wooden frame. It looked very plain.


    ¡°This is the principal¡¯s legal treasure, the Rank-4 Soulful Mirror.¡±


    ¡°You all stand before the mirror one by one. Approximately three minutes later, the most complete personal panel of your current stage will be formed.¡± After finishing his instructions, he gestured for the closest freshman to walk up.


    Dings and beeps sounded, and features similar to electric waves started flashing on the mirror, forming lines of text. However, no matter how Chen Mobai looked, he couldn¡¯t make out what was written.


    ¡°Alright, you can step down now.¡±


    Che Yucheng waved the freshman down, then pressed a button on the office printer.


    Soon, about a dozen pages were printed out.


    Che Yucheng looked through them, confirmed that there were no abnormalities and then, nodding, handed them to the student.


    ¡°Keep this with you. The academy will keep an electronic version on file, and it will be of use later.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. His Spiritual Root values, due to the special produce of the Tianhe Realm, were slightly higher than normal. He didn¡¯t know if the Dance Tool Daoist Academy would probe deeper into this. However, there was no reason for him to back out at this point.


    When it was his turn, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and stood in front of the Soulful Mirror.


    In the midst of the beeping sounds.


    He discovered he could clearly see the contents projected on the mirror.


    It displayed his Spiritual Root values, the circulation routes of the spiritual power in his body, the development of his meridians, his physical age, the status of the two Spiritual Power Vortexes in his Dantian Qi Sea, and even the mysterious Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, mirroring the outline of a sapling¡­


    It turned out that the texts and contents reflected on the mirror could only be seen by the related person.


    ¡°Hmm, your innate Yuan Qi seems to be much richer than the average person¡¯s.


    The total of your Spirit Root Attributes exceeds too.¡±


    After Che Yucheng briefly browsed the content printed out, he was slightly surprised when he saw the part about the Spiritual Roots.


    ¡°When my mother was pregnant with me, she lived in the mountains, perhaps I was nourished by a richer Elemental Energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only create this story to explain. Fortunately, although it is rare for one to have a total Spirit Root Attribute exceeding too in the Immortals Sect, it¡¯s not impossible.


    ¡°How far have you progressed in your cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body?¡±


    After finishing his reading, Che Yucheng raised his head and asked a very critical question.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just cultivated to the first level.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated but eventually decided to reply truthfully.


    Che Yucheng looked even more surprised after hearing this.


    He checked Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root values again.


    [Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10]


    Adding up to a total of 117 points. The Pure Yang Daoist Body consumes 3 points each from wood and water attributes, and adds 9 points to the fire attribute, hence it¡¯s very easy to calculate Chen Mobai¡¯s original Spirit Root Attributes.


    That is to say, his original Spiritual Root Value was 114 points!


    This child¡¯s innate Yuan Qi is quite abundant, to say the least.


    However, Che Yucheng merely memorized it in his heart but didn¡¯t mention it aloud. He handed the pile of thirteen pages to Chen Mobai, and then signaled the next one to go up and look into the mirror.


    In no time, everyone in the office had completed the procedure.


    Then, Che Yucheng led them to the lab on the first floor.


    The lab was mostly empty, but along both sides of the wall, there were life-sized transparent faceless mannequins with eyes and screens on their foreheads.


    Chen Mobai counted fourteen of these mannequins.


    ¡°These are no-feature mannequins, the finest creation from a collaboration between our Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s puppetry studies and Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s bionics department. They can perfectly simulate the practise and breakthrough of the Cultivation Technique in a human body.¡±


    When everyone was puzzled, Che Yucheng began to introduce the transparent mannequins.


    ¡°I Will input the body model data of each of you, reflected by the Soulful Mirror into these no-feature mannequins. Then, it will simulate all the problems and ¡¯ stages you will encounter when practicing the Divinity Transformation Techniques.¡±


    If you can smoothly reach the Foundation Establishment level, then the academy will not stop you from practicing The Union of Differences or the Pure Yang Scroll. However, if you can¡¯t evolve to the Foundation Establishment level, it means you are not suitable for practicing Divinity Transformation Techniques, and we will persuade you to give up.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you insist on practicing regardless, the academy will respect your decision.¡±

    After he finished speaking, Che Yucheng inserted the USB drive in his hand into an input socket at the back of one of the no-feature mannequins¡¯ heads.


    In the eyes of the astonished crowd, the insides of this life-sized transparent mannequin began to show meridians, bones, and internal organs.


    In the end, the faceless mannequin transformed into a face identical to a freshman sitting next to Chen Mobai. Its left and right eyes were two digital dials, the purpose of which was unknown.


    As Che Yucheng activated the mannequin, the screen on its forehead began changing, and eventually formed an illusion of a longsword.


    Simultaneously, the mannequin¡¯s left eye slowly started to rotate, and the number changed from ¡°zero¡± to ¡°one¡±..

 Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 Role of the Doll i

    Chapter 178 Role of the Doll i


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°To cultivate ¡®The Union of Differences1, you need to match it with a compatible spiritual object. This is the best choice given to you by the Soulful Mirror.¡± Che Yucheng pointed at the illusory longsword on the forehead display of the mannequin, explaining while manipulating the genderless dummy to transform.


    Amid the exclamations of the crowd.


    The dummy began to sit cross-legged, taking on a cultivation posture.


    Its brain region seemed to store spiritual energy, which, upon the transformation¡¯s initiation, flashed along with the illusory longsword on the dummy¡¯s forehead display, passing through the body¡¯s meridians by the twelve-story building, finally pooling into the Qi sea in the Dantian.


    ¡°This spiritual energy is equivalent to one percent of yours during cultivation. You can observe the slow motion of the spiritual energy circulation within the meridians, which signifies potential areas for improvement during your cultivation.¡±


    As the mannequin began its first round of Qi cultivation, Che Yucheng meticulously explained, then activated the fast-forward button.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai clearly saw the digital wheel in the dummy¡¯s left eye jump from ¡°one¡± to ¡°two¡±, then from ¡°two¡± to ¡°three¡±, where it got stuck.


    ¡°The left eye represents the realm of Qi cultivation. ¡®One¡¯ signifies the first layer of Qi cultivation. Getting stuck at ¡®three¡¯ means you would likely hit a bottleneck when cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.¡±


    Che Yucheng paused here, explained again, and then hit the fast-forward button again.


    But it was stuck for nearly nine minutes before the digital wheel in the dummy¡¯s left eye slowly clicked to ¡°four¡±.


    Nine minutes implies that you will be stuck in a nine-month bottleneck stage at level three of Qi cultivation. Generally, those who get stuck at this stage are not suitable for cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words made the newcomer next to Chen Mobai turn slightly pale, but he remained headstrong with resolute determination in his eyes.


    The digital wheel in the left eye got stuck again for fifteen minutes when it reached ¡°six¡±.


    Chen Mobai clearly saw the young man next to him clenching his fists tightly. Che Yucheng did not say much, just maintaining pressure on the fast-forward button. When it reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he signaled everyone to watch carefully.


    ¡°This is the process of Foundation Establishment. The mannequin was initially made for this sole purpose.¡±


    Having heard that, Chen Mobai clearly saw the dummy¡¯s transparent internal organs and meridians begin to tremble wildly. Right after, the spiritual power within the Dantian began drawing to its center, forming a spiritual power vortex and solidifying into the first drop of liquified spiritual power.


    So that¡¯s the function of a spiritual power vortex. No wonder that Qing Ping said in his Five Elements Cultivation lecture that practicing this could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.


    Chen Mobai was excited, his admiration for Qing Ping rising once again.


    However, he also realized why the success rate of Foundation Establishment was so high at the four great Daoist academies.


    With the Critical Method, a simulation mannequin to mimic Foundation Establishment, and an aid for Foundation Establishment, even those with average Spirit Root aptitude would significantly increase their chances of success in Foundation Establishment when they had these three conditions.


    In awe, Chen Mobai suddenly noticed that the clearly visible face of the simulation mannequin started to blur. The liquified spiritual power within its Dantian went out of control, rushing out and damaging internal organs in its path.


    Shortly after, the dummy¡¯s illusory internal meridians and organs faded and turned transparent again.


    It signified that the Foundation Establishment failed!


    Wang Xingyu, you are not suitable for cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.


    This is the result of the simulation mannequin¡¯s prediction.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke regretfully. The young man standing beside Chen Mobai turned pale. However, the obstinacy remained evident in his eyes.


    ¡°I wish to try. If I successfully cultivate the Critical Method and only get stuck in the second step of Foundation Establishment, I believe that I can succeed in Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The young man named Wang Xingyu spoke out his choice after some silence.


    Che Yucheng sighed upon hearing this, and dutifully gave a final word of advice.


    ¡°Even if you manage to cultivate the Critical Method, it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate for Foundation Establishment.¡±


    In the simulation of the mannequin, only when your probability of successful Foundation Establishment goes above 50%, will it show success. If you want to cultivate ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, this is far from sufficient.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to hurry to make a decision, you can go back and think it over carefully. After you¡¯ve thought it through, you can come to find me.¡±


    After advising, he removed a USB stick and inserted it into another mannequin.


    This thing isn¡¯t just for one-time use, is it?


    Chen Mobai saw this scene and was puzzled.


    However, he believed that given the extreme frugality of the Dao of immortality regarding resources, such disposable items couldn¡¯t possibly be manufactured.


    While he was lost in his thoughts, the transformation of the second mannequin had already begun. This time, the spiritual object chosen was a bird.


    Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment still failed.


    The girl named Lu Zixuan looked gloomy, but she chose to heed Che Yucheng¡¯s advice and gave up cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.


    Among the subsequent eight people, only two of them successfully established their foundation in one go during the mannequin¡¯s transformation.


    Their excitement was evident.


    However, among those who failed the Foundation Establishment simulation, only three decided to give up. The rest expressed their wish to try, Che Yucheng unanimously gave them three days to think it over.


    Next are the newcomers who have chosen the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the other two boys; the three of them walked up to the three mannequins in front of them.


    ¡°After Yuan Yang¡¯s revision, the threshold of ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ has disappeared. In theory, as long as life span permits, anyone can cultivate it.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words puzzled Chen Mobai. If success is guaranteed, what is there for the mannequin to simulate?


    Then Che Yucheng explained the problem.


    ¡°However, the issue with the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ lies on lifespan, as half of your life has to be used for cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, which naturally reduces the time available for advancing realms.¡±


    ¡°During Qi cultivation, it doesn¡¯t impact much. But after Foundation Establishment, while others only need a few years to break through a realm level, you might need ten years.¡±


    ¡°Based on the patterns seen in Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy over the past thousand years, If you establish your foundation with ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ before the age of 30, you have a chance of achieving Core Formation. After 30, every single case, without exception, died of old age at the stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    So that¡¯s what the simulation mannequin predicts.


    Chen Mobai understood.


    He also understood why the original Crimson Robed Daoist had abandoned the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ and converted to practice Scorching Heaven Cultivation.


    Che Yucheng inserted Chen Mobai¡¯s USB stick first. Afterwards, he saw the transparent mannequin in front of him transform into his appearance, and internal meridians and organs began appearing in its body.


    The glow of the three-colored spirit root appeared, and the training routes of both Pure Yang Daoist Body and Pure Yang Scroll started running within the mannequin¡¯s body. The digital wheel in the left eye began to rotate.

    When it turned to the number ¡°nine¡±, Chen Mobai saw a line of text appearing on the display screen on the mannequin¡¯s forehead.


    Age: 39.


    ¡°Your fire spiritual roots value is too low. If you divide your attention to cultivate the three Yangs, you can reach perfection in the ninth layer of Qi cultivation by the age of 39 and attempt your first Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Without any surprise, Che Yucheng began to simulate the Foundation Establishment process.


    Just when everyone expected failure, it surprisingly succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt..

 Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: The Cost of One Deduction_l

    Chapter 179: The Cost of One Deduction_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    This result surprised Che Yucheng. He specifically inspected the Faceless Puppet, thinking there was a mistake in his deduction.


    No damage at all.


    He then carefully scanned the thirteen pages of data that Chen Mobai had printed from the Soulful Mirror. Finally, he identified the root of the problem.


    ¡°Hmm, your Five Elements Cultivation, while relying on external factors and fostering unstable spiritual power, has already formed a vortex of spiritual power. Furthermore, Xiao Yu has lit the flame with Flame Lighting Technique, converting it into Pure Yang spiritual power, and the step of condensing Qi into Liquid has already been advanced.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the realm of your Divine Sense vastly exceeds the level of Qi Cultivation. The Soulful Mirror reflects your divine consciousness leaving the body without significant issues.¡±


    ¡°Among the three key steps of Foundation Establishment, the first step, Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, is the simplest. Assisted by spiritual objects such as the Mysterious Fire Spirit Liquid Giant Kun Essence Blood, it¡¯s almost guaranteed to succeed. The Faceless Puppet assumes the most perfect condition in its deduction, confirming that if nothing unexpected occurs, you have a probability of over 50% to succeed in Foundation Establishment on your first attempt.¡±


    This is a small flaw of the Faceless Puppet, after all, it¡¯s just a tool.


    Many people have simulated their Foundation Establishment process and succeeded, but when they attempt it in reality, they discover they can¡¯t perform as flawlessly as the puppet.


    Therefore, to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment among all the immortal students, the Immortal Gate developed the software Foundation Treasure, and collaborated with the Daoist Academy to research the ¡°Critical Law¡±.


    However, due to limited resources of the Immortal Gate, currently, only a small proportion of elite students from the Four Major Daoist Academies and Ten Major Colleges have access to these resources.


    Following Chen Mobai, the other two students who chose the Pure Yang Scroll also completed their deductions using the Faceless Puppet.


    A boy named Yunyang Bing happened to be thirty years old but failed his Foundation Establishment.


    Another boy, Ming Yuhua, seemed to possess even more astonishing talent. He could cultivate the Three Yang Bodies at the age of twenty-eight and reach Perfection in Qi Cultivation Level Nine, but he also failed in Foundation Establishment.


    After observing this, Che Yucheng fell into deep thought.


    Normally, Chen Mobai, who could only cultivate the Three Yang Bodies and reach Qi Cultivation Level Nine at thirty-eight years old, would essentially be advised to give up and not cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll.


    But he succeeded in his first attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    Furthermore, since the Red-Robed True Man was willing to exhaust a year¡¯s effort to perform the Flame Lighting Technique to ignite his fire, it¡¯s possible that there is potential in him that Yucheng had not seen.


    If Chen Mobai isn¡¯t discouraged, the other two students definitely won¡¯t be.


    Yunyang Bing and Ming Yuhua are the real prodigies. The former¡¯s Fire Spirit Root reaches 48 points, while the latter¡¯s an incredible 61 points, giving them an advantage from the start in Cultivating Pure Yang Body.


    In the best-case scenario, Ming Yuhua will attain the Five Yangs and reach 100 points in his Immortal Fire Spirit Root.


    However, throughout his nearly four hundred years, Che Yucheng has seen more than his share of prodigies.


    He feels that if Ming Yuhua doesn¡¯t cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, there might be a slim chance for him to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, but if he focuses on this Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, he might only reach Core Formation.


    ¡°As for the two of you, I won¡¯t offer much advice. After all, after establishing the foundation of Pure Yang Scroll, if you feel the breakthrough is difficult, you can always switch to other cultivation techniques like Scorching Heaven Cultivation derived from this Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, both Yunyang Bing and Ming Yuhua clenched their fists, their faces brimming with excitement.


    ¡°As for you¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai became nervous when he saw Che Yucheng turning towards him.


    He had already invested so much in the Pure Yang Scroll. He didn¡¯t want his opportunity to be shot down just because of this one deduction result with the puppet.


    ¡°Your Spirit Root is slightly mediocre. If you want to progress further in your cultivation path, indeed, you need the Pure Yang Daoist Body for transformation. Go for it.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s gentle and encouraging words touched Chen Mobai deeply.


    Indeed, enrolling in the Daoist Academy was the best decision of his life.


    ¡°Alright, next, you recognize the Faceless Puppets that deduced your situations.¡±


    After encouraging Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng spoke to the other dozen students.


    ¡°Although this seems simple, in reality, it is as valuable as a top-tier, Rank-3 magic artifact. If you damage it, in blunt terms, a lifetime of your labor serving the academy would not suffice to compensate for it.¡±


    ¡°The Faceless Puppets are the pinnacle creation of Puppetry Technique fused with modern Bionics. Every time it is activated, it requires charging for half a year before it can be used again.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve used up thirteen Faceless Puppets, you should take responsibility for replenishing the spiritual energy in the Puppet¡¯s core that¡¯s been depleted. You have no objections to that, right?¡±


    The absence of Zhongli Tianyu resulted in one of the prepared fourteen Faceless Puppets remaining unactivated.


    Che Yucheng picked up the puppet, opened a mechanism on its head, and the faceless head immediately split to the sides, revealing the puppet¡¯s core.


    Within the Puppet¡¯s head, a dense network of thin wires were visible. Surprisingly, its power source was a spirit stone.


    When Chen Mobai and the others followed Che Yucheng¡¯s instructions to open the skull of their own Faceless Puppet, they found that the spiritual energy within the spirit stone of their Puppet had already been exhausted in the previous deduction.


    ¡°Teacher Che, we haven¡¯t learned how to recharge the Spirit Stone?¡±


    One of the students raised his hand with a bitter face.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    The crowd immediately followed Che Yucheng, who had left the lab and arrived at the adjacent Charging Room.


    As directed, they carefully placed their Faceless Puppets on specialized stands and plugged one end of a wire into a slot of these reusable Spirit Stones.


    The other end of the wire was a plug socket, which was inserted into the wall¡¯s spiritual energy outlet.


    ¡°The Faceless Puppet can only be charged for four hours a day, and will automatically disconnect when the time is up. Therefore, you need to come and reconnect it every day.¡±


    So, refilling a Spirit Stone is actually this simple!


    Chen Mobai felt like he had seen the world anew today.


    ¡°Teacher Che, how long does it take to fully charge a Spirit Stone?¡±


    Yunyang Bing asked.


    ¡°Half a year. But the academy only requires you to complete it within a year.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that something was off, what kind of spirit stone requires so long.


    He took a closer look and despite the spiritual energy being exhausted, he, due to his long experience with Spirit Stones, noticed something.


    It was actually an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    In other words, one simulation with the Faceless Puppet cost about a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones!


    Upon realizing this, he couldn¡¯t help but gasp.


    Was the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s welfare for new students this generous?


    ¡°Because you are cultivating a divinity transformation technique, the academy will take it more seriously and allow you to use the Faceless Puppet in advance.¡±


    ¡°Typically, this is only possible before Foundation Establishment or when stuck in cultivation where you would have to apply for it and wait in line.¡±


    ¡°However, having used it this time, you won¡¯t be able to apply to use it again for two years.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having given his instructions, Che Yucheng then left the Charging Room.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make a group chat together.¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who seemed to have a lively personality, added everyone as friends and invited them all to a group chat.


    The name of the group was quite awe-inspiring.


    [Metaphysical Class]!

 Chapter 180 - Chapter 180: Open the Book_1

    Chapter 180: Open the Book_1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I suggest that we take turns. Only one person needs to come on a daily basis to help everyone charge their spirit energy. This way we can save time for everyone.¡±


    The first proposal put forth by the small group was unanimously accepted.


    Ming Yuhua, who also agreed to this proposition, was elected as the temporary spokesman for the Metaphysical Class.


    He seemed to be quite happy and immediately stated that he would be the one to assist everyone in charging their spirit energy the next day.


    After leaving Building Number One at the top of Crimson Mountain, everyone went out for a meal. After finishing, Ming Yuhua urged Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing to continue the evening with him.


    ¡°Your advisor is also Master Shaoyang, right?


    When it was just the three of them, Ming Yuhua asked first.


    ¡°Correct, it is said that he has been cultivating in seclusion for ten years, trying to break through from the third level to the fourth level of Gold Core.¡±


    Yunyang Bing seemed to have inquired quite a bit and talked with a hint of worry.


    Among the Dance Tool Dao Academy, only Master Shaoyang has completed Core Formation using the Pure Yang Scroll. If they choose to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, they can only be assigned as his students.


    ¡°I heard that Master Shaoyang has already reached the fourth level of the Gold Core, but he is still in seclusion because the cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body is dragging on. I don¡¯t know if we can meet this master in our ten years at the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Ming Yuhua also wore a face of helplessness.


    ¡°In the future, let¡¯s all be brothers of the same school. Do keep in touch.¡±


    Seeing that the atmosphere had started to sink, Chen Mobai changed the topic and raised his glass. The other two immediately clinked glasses.


    ¡°By the way, what courses do you guys plan on taking?


    Ming Yuhua was the first to ask, then he continued by sharing his own plans.


    ¡°I plan to develop towards becoming an Artifact Refiner, so I will major in ¡®Artifact Refining¡¯ and ¡®Treasure Appraisal¡¯, and minor in ¡¯Spirit Material Identification¡¯, ¡®Original Ore Extraction¡¯, ¡®Metallurgical Engineering¡¯, and


    ¡¯History of Magical Instruments¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s choice, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy offers 18 major courses and 72 minor courses.


    Among them, major courses are worth 3 credits, and minor courses are worth 2 credits.


    The academy requires each student to complete 10 credits each year.


    If Ming Yuhua enrolls in all these courses and passes all of them at the end of the term, he could earn U credits in a year, a feat could be dubbed as a super overachiever.


    Chen Mobai plans to only get 10 credits because he will also have to spend time mingling in the Divine Wood Sect. He does not have as much time for studying. ¡ö¡±Spirit Material Identification¡¯ and ¡®History of Magical Instruments¡¯ are closely related to appraisal, while ¡®Original Ore Extraction¡¯ and ¡®Metallurgical Engineering¡¯ are the basics of artifact refining. My two majors and four minors are all carefully considered. Do you guys want to join me? It¡¯ll be good company during class time.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was quite enthusiastic, but both Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing shook their heads in refusal.


    Yun Yang Bing expressed his thoughts: ¡°I want to study formations, so I probably will choose related courses like ¡®Geology¡¯, ¡®Environmental Studies¡¯, ¡®Atmospheric Sciences¡¯, ¡®Astronomy¡¯, and ¡®Spirit Vein Studies.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai gazed at him in amazement and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Are you planning to study ground and sky arrays simultaneously?¡±


    The method of array formation is divided into heaven, earth, and man.


    The formation is based on people, mountains and rivers, and the spirit veins, and the array formation is based on the heaven, stars, and all kinds of phenomena.


    Among them, the earth array is complicated, the sky array is vast, and the human array lies somewhere in between.


    Many people who learn array formations tend to choose one among heaven, earth, and man initially. It¡¯s only when their progress in formations hits a bottleneck that they think of learning the other two types of arrays to gain insights through analogy.


    That Yun Yang Bing would immediately take on the highest difficulty of studying both the earth and sky arrays from the get-go could only speak for his confidence that was typical of students who have been admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Old Chen, how about you?¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the other two looking at him and hesitated for a moment. He originally just planned to major in one course ¡°Inscription Symbols¡±, and then minor in related courses such as ¡°Ink and Pigments Extraction¡±, ¡°Stabilization Studies¡±, ¡°Rune Paper Manufacturing Technology¡±, ¡°Calligraphy¡±, ¡°Rune Paper Layout¡± etc., hoping to scrape by with 10 credits each year.


    But since the other two were so hardworking, he felt embarrassed to express his intention of just getting by.


    Was this the attitude of students who had been legitimately admitted to the Daoist Academy? They hadn¡¯t even started school and they were already being so competitive.


    ¡°I should be majoring in ¡®Inscription Symbols¡¯, ¡®Puppetry Technique¡¯, and for the minor courses, I¡¯ll choose two that are closely related.¡± ¡°Puppetry Technique? Why would you choose something so unpopular?¡± When they heard his words, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but look shocked. ¡°I¡¯ve loved robots and figurines since I was a kid, and if I use puppets, they can replace me in exploring some dangerous places. Plus, after seeing that amazing Faceless Puppet today, I feel that this subject has a lot of potential.¡± Chen Mobai didn¡¯t lie, he indeed took a liking to the Faceless Puppet, and wondered if he could use it to simulate his own cultivation of the Immortality Technique and the Two Phases Technique.


    In the future, he will definitely delve deeper into the Tianhe Realm. If he learns puppetry technique, he feels it will be incredibly useful.


    The more he thought about it, the better it seemed to Chen Mobai and he couldn¡¯t help but slap the table.


    ¡°Here¡¯s to the hard work we¡¯ll put in over the next ten years at the academy.¡±


    The three men drained their glasses, thus having quite a few rounds.


    ¡°Old Chen, which dorm are you in?¡±


    After finishing their meal, Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing noticed that Chen Mobai was walking in the opposite direction and they couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m used to living alone, so I rented a small house outside the campus.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s also allowed?¡±


    Yunyang Bing was very intrigued upon hearing this. He also preferred quietness, and researching formations required a large area. It would be best if he had his own experiment area.


    After they parted ways, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden shack.


    He looked up to see that the lights in the villa on the mountain where Meng Huang lived were bright. It seemed she had already returned.


    After cleaning himself, he lay on the bed and took out his phone.


    After mentioning that he wanted to study puppetry technique, Chen Mobai suddenly had a brilliant idea.


    Because he didn¡¯t trust anyone in the Tianhe Realm, he was the only one who could chop the logs for business.


    Although it was very profitable and the demand at Bud Hall was high, he also had to cultivate. He had to be careful not to be discovered, and he felt a little overwhelmed.


    What if he used puppets in place of himself to chop the logs? It seems this would perfectly solve the problem.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai became restless.


    He began to search the internet for puppets or robots that could replace manual labor.


    However, this search made him curse the crafty merchants.


    The cheapest puppet robot that can drive a Rank-1 magic artifact and recognize simple commands was almost 100,000 Good Deed Points.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have that much money, but the thought of investing so much all at once made Chen Mobai feel reluctant.


    He couldn¡¯t understand why the puppets were so expensive.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unable to hold himself back, he directly sought consultation from the shop. After chatting, he found out that it¡¯s because he had added the keyword ¡°recognizable commands¡± to his search.


    The puppet robots were not expensive, but those capable of recognizing commands contained artificial intelligence core chips. These components were integrated onto spirit stones, and they were definitely not cheap.


    So, it¡¯s the spirit stones that are expensive!


    Chen Mobai understood.


    But after understanding, he felt it was even less worth it..

 Chapter 181 - Chapter 181: Arrangementl

    Chapter 181: Arrangementl


    Translator: 549690339


    Since Chen Mobai had a good amount of Spirit Stones, he felt this puppet robot was overpriced.


    Moreover, it was easy for him to earn Spirit Stones now, but Good Deed Points were the complete opposite: the more he used, the fewer he had.


    The main point though was because Bud Hall had a limited demand for Red Sun firewood. Those willing to spend Spirit Stones to get it might only be Liu Wenbo, the Luo siblings, and Yu Lian.


    After all, most Loose Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm couldn¡¯t amass many Spirit Stones, and any small bit of resources they had they would immediately use to exchange for Magic Artifacts or talismans that could enhance their combat capability.


    After working hard for a while to earn Spirit Stones from these four people, Chen Mobai reckoned he could stop the firewood business.


    After doing the calculations for the potential profit, he felt that spending one hundred thousand Good Deed Points to purchase a log-chopping puppet was not worthwhile.


    He further looked up the ¡°Formless Puppet¡±.


    However, there was no such thing directly shown on the Immortal Gate network.


    As expected of the peak work of Puppetry Technique, there was actually none available on the market.


    That night.


    After teleporting back to Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai barely showed his face before he was approached by Yu Lian.


    ¡°Sell the Red Sun firewood to me next time.¡±


    His tone was calm, but it didn¡¯t allow for objections, making Chen Mobai frown.


    What¡¯s with these cultivators at Tianhe Realm being so aggressive?


    At the slightest inconvenience, they began to show their displeasure.


    Both Luo Yixiu and Yu Lian acted this way.


    ¡°It depends on whether or not that senior still needs to chop firewood for sword training.¡±


    Chen Mobai said leisurely, but Yu Lian just took out a bag of Spirit Stones and walked away without a word.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need a deposit here.¡±


    He took the Spirit Stone Bag to the door, but Yu Lian had already disappeared without a trace.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat bewildered by his forceful acquisition behaviour. He weighed the bag in his hands and was slightly taken aback.


    There were actually one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    According to market price where 500 pieces of Red Sun firewood equal one Spirit Stone, this bag could buy a total of fifty thousand pieces. This was practically double the price.


    Was the small sect that Yu Lian inherited really that rich?


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t figure it out. Back at Green Light Island, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, both of whom were the direct disciples of a small sect, were also together worth just one Flying Sword.


    Could it be that Yu Lian was a main character and had some other opportunity?


    Just as he was deep in thought, a girl in palace attire with smooth white skin came to his door.


    ¡°Is Brother Chen here? Luo Yixuan pays her respects.¡±


    The door isn¡¯t closed, you can see me directly from the entrance, why are you asking if I¡¯m here?


    Chen Mobai was somewhat speechless at Luo Yixuan¡¯s actions. Perhaps it¡¯s some kind of sect tradition.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    After Luo Yixuan sat down, she first apologized for what happened with Luo Yixiu before and then got straight to the point. She also wanted to buy enough Red Sun firewood for her and her brother to use over the next couple of months.


    ¡°Not to hide from you, but Yu Lian just dropped off this big bag of Spirit Stones and has already reserved the next thirty thousand Red Sun firewood from that senior. You guys may have to wait until he¡¯s done.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t like the strong purchase approach, with this heavy bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, he chose to forgive Yu Lian.


    One simply can¡¯t bear grudges against Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you can look at our price first.¡±


    Luo Yixuan also took out a bag of Spirit Stones with a smile. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it, but by the look of its bulging shape, he estimated it to be around a hundred as well.


    ¡°Junior Sister, there is always a first-come, first-serve rule.¡±


    He still wanted to hold back a bit, after all, he was a principled merchant.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you can totally be fair and square with everyone, just like with Brother Liu, give us each ten thousand Red Sun firewood first. For the rest, within a month¡¯s time, I believe Brother Chen should be able to gather the quantity slowly.¡±


    What Luo Yixuan said struck a chord with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior sister makes a fair point.¡±


    It was simple once he took it to heart.


    After Chen Mobai received Luo Yixuan¡¯s Spirit Stone Bag, he personally saw his junior sister out of the room, then enthusiastically went out to cut firewood.


    But this time, to his surprise, as many as twelve people followed him out.


    Twisting and turning the whole way, when he was close to the tree hole where he hid his electric saw, six people were still tailing him.


    Chen Mobai, however, wasn¡¯t blinded by the Spirit Stones and chose to give up. He retraced his steps back to Bud Hall.


    ¡°Senior brother Chen.¡±


    Liu Wenbo greeted him at the entrance.


    ¡°That elder didn¡¯t come out to cut firewood today.¡±


    Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Liu Wenbo also wanted to buy the Red Sun Wood logs.


    ¡°This is my tribute to that elder, please help me pass it on.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed over a bag of Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai, who measured it and found it to be a hundred stones as well.


    But after hearing his words, Chen Mobai finally realized why both Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan were so willing to part with them.


    Turns out, in their minds, these Spirit Stones weren¡¯t for him, but for the elder he made up who cuts firewood.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accept these three on behalf of the elder, but you don¡¯t need to give yours.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai liked Spirit Stones, he was unwilling to accept Liu Wenbo¡¯s, as he still remembered the favor of receiving the Immortality Scripture from the latter.


    Liu Wenbo wanted to say more, but Chen Mobai had already knocked on Yuan Chiye¡¯s door.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai enter Yuan Chiye¡¯s room, Liu Wenbo could only take his bag of Spirit Stones and leave.


    ¡°What elder have you met? Why am I not that lucky?¡±


    Yuan Chiye sounded rather sour when he saw Chen Mobai enter.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m poorer.¡±


    Chen Mobai joked, then took out the bag of Spirit Stones from Yu Lian and placed it in front of Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye was heavily in debt to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill, he wasn¡¯t blinded by the bag of Spirit Stones and calmly asked.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t senior brother mention you have an extra storage bag? I¡¯ve always wanted one. Now that I have some Spirit Stones, I want to buy yours.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yuan Chiye¡¯s face revealed understanding. He laughed and took the Spirit Stone Bag.


    ¡°I keep my word, I¡¯m selling it to you for eighty Spirit Stones. There are a hundred in here, you can keep the extra twenty.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took out a palm-sized sky-blue sachet from his storage bag.


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ll need senior brother to turn a blind eye for this twenty.¡±


    Chen Mobai received the storage bag, but instead of taking back the Spirit Stones, he said something that made Yuan Chiye narrow his eyes: ¡°Elaborate.¡±


    ¡°We work hard every day to chop the Red Sun Wood logs. What do you think, senior brother?¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye had pretended not to know when Liu Wenbo and the Luo siblings had bought the Red Sun Wood logs from the Earth Fire Hall, it wasn¡¯t clear what his attitude would be if the source of the logs was Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai felt it was necessary to smooth things over.

    Besides, he didn¡¯t know when he could break the seal on the storage bag he obtained from Green Light Island, and there might be some complications to its origins, so it was perfect to buy Yuan Chiye¡¯s bag in advance as a cover.


    ¡°You little rascal, your way of doing things truly resembles senior brother Zhou. Don¡¯t worry. Even if you didn¡¯t tell me, I wouldn¡¯t dare offend the Foundation Establishment elder and interfere.¡±


    Upon getting Yuan Chiye¡¯s confirmation, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    In the dead of night, when he was sure no one was following him, he went out to chop firewood again.


    But this time, after he finished chopping, he could put the electric saw and table saw directly into his newly purchased storage bag, no longer worrying about exposure..

 Chapter 182 - Chapter 182 Performance Puppeti

    Chapter 182 Performance Puppeti


    Translator: 549690339


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Mobai worked hard chopping logs until he finally ended the Red Sun Wood business at Bud Hall.


    Yu Lian, Luo Yixiu, and Luo Yixuan each contributed 100 lower-grade Spirit Stones, while from Liu Wenbo, he only received the market price, netting him 50 Spirit Stones.


    Of these, too Spirit Stones were used to purchase Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag. Apart from what Chen Mobai already had, he now totted up a considerable sum of 280 Spirit Stones.


    After getting in good stead with Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai handed over his share of Red Sun Wood, and immediately took two and a half months off to concentrate on the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as the pace of learning was becoming hard to keep up with.


    Chen Mobai chose ¡°Talismanic Runes¡± and ¡°Puppetry¡± as his major courses. He chose to audit ¡°Extraction of Talisman Ink and Pigment¡±, ¡°Calligraphy¡± ¡°Design and Manufacture of Spiritual Instruments and Automation¡±, and ¡¯ ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±.


    Of these, ¡°Calligraphy¡± is the basis for learning Talismanic Runes; if you want to major in Talismanic Runes, this elective must be picked up.


    ¡°Extraction of Talisman Ink and Pigment¡± was chosen as Chen Mobai considered the need for special talismanic ink in Tianhe Realm to depict talismanic runes, hence, he felt the need to learn this subject.


    ¡°Design and Manufacture of Spiritual Instruments and Automation¡± has the same basic requirements as ¡°Calligraphy¡±; it¡¯s a necessity when majoring in ¡°Puppetry¡±.


    As for ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±, Chen Mobai initially didn¡¯t plan on taking it. After all, with two majors and three electives, as long as all of them are passed, it amounts to 12 credits.


    Even if an elective is failed, there would still be 10 credits, allowing one to pass the end-of-term assessment.


    But the issue is all 13 people in the Divinity Transformation class had selected a minimum of two majors and four electives.


    The most extreme one declared three majors and six electives, and only because first-year students are only allowed to declare that many, otherwise, he would have gone for even more.


    And it¡¯s not about showing off by declaring so many electives; they genuinely have the capability.


    All those who can get into the Dance Tool Dao Academy are at least top students, and those who choose Divinity Transformation are considered the best among the best, they¡¯re all study gods.


    In order to fit in, Chen Mobai could only hold back his tears and select ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±, an elective that piqued his interest.


    Originally, he was planning to wait until the second academic year to take this elective; in future, if spare time allows, he would extend his studies to the major of ¡°Spirit Plant¡±.


    One day, he was attending the ¡°Puppetry¡± class.


    On the lecture podium, the silver-haired old man, Che Yucheng, was narrating about the origin of the formless puppets and the Method Acting Puppets.


    As everyone has distinct physical constitutions and talents, the same cultivation technique would yield diverse subtle variations when adopted by different people. To make the technique perfectly adapt to oneself, adjustments would be needed according to personal characteristics.


    However, the ones who can do this are at least Realm Masters at the Golden Core Realm stage.


    As Realm Masters are rare, it¡¯s impossible for them to customize cultivation techniques for each Qj Practitioner.


    But if it¡¯s for their own offspring or close relatives, Realm Masters occasionally do this.                                 y


    During the process of personalizing a cultivation technique for his daughter, a puppet master had a sudden burst of inspiration and created a ¡°Method Acting Puppet¡±.   6


    The puppet master made a puppet identical to his daughter¡¯s physical data, ran the cultivation technique on it, and through continuous trial and error adjustments were made repeatedly, ultimately, the perfect Qi Cultivation technique best suited to his daughter was created.


    Inspired by the Method Acting Puppet, the following generations further innovated to create the Formless Puppet, simulating the Foundation Establishment process.


    Upon this, functionalities like simulating cultivation, breaking through realms, and running cultivation techniques were added.


    Further, after the Foundation Establishment phase, a function to simulate the Golden Core Realm was reserved in the Formless Puppet.


    However, due to the limitations posed by the lack of Spirit Stones, this has not developed to that stage yet.


    But yet, the Formless Puppet which has attained this much has been hailed as the crowning achievement of Puppetry Technique.


    Halfway through listening, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was just filled with the idea of ¡°Method Acting Puppets¡±.


    He recently started cultivating the Longevity Technique, but due to the lack of conditions on this side from the Earth Star, the transition to the new technique was difficult, and he had not even managed to make a start. This led Chen Mobai to contemplate dropping the Two-phased Techniques, focusing solely on Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, the progress of Pure Yang Scroll was also slow, which caused him great vexation.


    After class, Chen Mobai immediately rushed over to Che Yucheng to inquire if there were ¡°Method Acting Puppets¡± that he could apply for use in the academy.


    ¡°These are required to be custom-made; you can¡¯t use the Method Acting Puppets in the academy.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was filled with disappointment.


    ¡°However, I have a student who has a few replicas of the Formless Puppet on hand, which also wield the function of a Method Acting Puppet; as long as your body model data is inputted into it, the effect would be almost similar to a Method Acting Puppet.¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai a phone number and advised him to get in contact himself.


    This senior¡¯s name was Chai Lun!


    He was a year eight student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Because the creation and maintaining of puppets require a considerable investment, he opened an online shop to sell his own work and work from fellow puppetry major students.


    As the Formless Puppet was considered as the crowning achievement of Puppetry Study, it became the graduation challenge for many students in Puppetry Studies.


    Chai Lun had three replicas bequeathed by graduates.


    Although not as effective as the original Formless Puppets, they were more than adequate as Method Acting Puppets.


    Chen Mobai was very interested.


    He then asked about the price.


    Chai Lun said they could either be rented, being rather affordable at 10,000


    Good Deed Points a use, or bought outright.


    The price for outright purchase was high, indeed; it was a whopping 500,000 Good Deed Points.


    As Chen Mobai was unsure of how effectively these replicas worked compared to the Formless Puppets, he wanted to have a look in person, preferably with a trial.


    Chai Lun naturally welcomed this.


    He rented a warehouse outside the academy as a workshop and happened to be heading over that day.


    upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately asked him for the address.


    ¡°You seem to be quite in a hurry.¡±


    Chai Lun, a burly giant, saw Chen Mobai waiting at the entrance to the warehouse when he arrived.


    ¡°I have many queries during my recent cultivation process. The slow progress


    in transitioning to Pure Yang Scroll also weighs on my mind.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked helpless, but it was true.


    Hearing that he had chosen to cultivate Pure Yang Scroll, Chai Lun gave him a thumbs up in admiration.


    ¡°I have three here, two are for refining fire attribute cultivation techniques, one is for refining wood attribute cultivation techniques. The prices are all the same. I presume you need one for fire techniques?¡±


    After entering the warehouse, Chai Lun pointed towards three life-sized cyclopean puppets hanging on the wail.


    ¡°Huh, why is there only one set of number wheels?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that the Formless Puppet had digital rotary switches in both its left and right eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°These three graduates, despite being naturally talented, still can¡¯t compare to Master Che. That they¡¯ve been able to replicate to this extent is already quite commendable.¡±


    Chai Lun explained with a wry smile when he heard Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    The number wheel in the left eye of the Formless Puppet can simulate the cultivation of nine levels of Qi Cultivation, and the right eye wheel represents the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Originally, there should also be a number wheel on the forehead that represents the Golden Core Realm.


    However, here in the Daoist Academy, due to the lack of enough Spirit Stones as a power source, it¡¯s not possible to experiment with the function of the Formless Puppet theoretically simulating the Golden Core stage, and cultivation thereafter..

 Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Custom Made l

    Chapter 183: Custom Made l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Was the Formless Puppet made by Teacher Che Yucheng?¡±


    Chen Mobai managed to seize the key point in Chai Lun¡¯s words.


    ¡°The theory was developed in collaboration by Teacher Che and Master Xin Ji from Jumang Daoist Academy. Unfortunately, Master Xin Ji passed away twenty years ago. Since then, Teacher Che has stopped making Formless Puppets.¡±


    ¡°So, it can¡¯t be purchased elsewhere.¡±


    ¡°With Teacher Che not making them anymore, the remaining thirty-six pieces are absolutely precious.¡±


    There are only thirty-six Formless Puppets in the entire sect; Dance Tool Dao Academy has eighteen, and Che Yucheng has also given eighteen to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have any?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked surprised. Could the Formless Puppet be a privilege solely enjoyed by their two Daoist Academies?


    ¡°They do have it. Teacher Che publicly shared the manufacturing method of the Formless Puppet. Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have masters in Puppetry Technique and have made puppets with similar functions, but they refer to them as ¡®Unlimited Puppets¡¯.¡±


    ¡°What about the top ten academies?¡± Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°They probably don¡¯t have it. Anyway, Pure Yang Academy applies to borrow Formless Puppets from our academy every year.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to enroll in the Daoist Academy was absolutely correct.


    There would be no such benefits if he had gone to the Academy.


    ¡°These three can only simulate up to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and cannot simulate the Foundation Establishment process. That¡¯s why they are so cheap.¡±


    Chai Lun began to introduce the three one-eyed puppets hanging on the wall.


    ¡°If I use it many times, can I get a discount?¡±


    While Chen Mobai was certain he could not afford to buy it, he still found the price of ten thousand Good Deed points per use to be somewhat expensive.


    ¡°Each use drains the spirit stone completely. Even though it uses only lower-grade spirit stones, my device for energizing is crude, and combined with the mediocre level of Spirit Vein here, recharging takes a month. The price of ten thousand per use is already at cost.¡±


    Chai Lun shook his head, refusing to discount the price.


    ¡°Can this Formless Puppet imitation complete the simulation of all my Qi Cultivation techniques and identify all the problems and difficulties?¡±


    If this were the case, Chen Mobai would decide to grit his teeth and rent it twice, even if the function for the ¡®Union of Differences¡¯ could not be used for simulation.


    ¡°Junior brother, let me be frank with you. The current result of the Formless Puppet imitation simulation is definitely the most suitable for you,¡±


    ¡°But everyone changes every moment. For example, we cultivators, every time we break through a realm, it is actually a process of evolution and transformation. At that time, it would be best to adjust the previous simulation results.¡±


    ¡°Generally, it is recommended to update your body model data and redo the simulation every time you break through a minor realm. For your case, it may be better to custom-make a simulation puppet.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was his own junior, and also introduced by Professor Che Yucheng, Chai Lun advised him sincerely.


    ¡°How many Good Deed points are needed to custom-make a simulation puppet?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cheap, only two hundred thousand Good Deed points.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was left speechless for a moment.


    Is this price considered cheap?


    However, having attended several puppet-related courses these days, he knew this technology required such a large investment.


    Each puppet is equivalent to a collection of large Magic Artifact components, precise and intricate.


    Moreover, simulation puppets are custom-made, many parts need to be handcrafted, which is a huge waste of time.


    Chen Mobai checked the money on his card. After his various expenses, the two hundred thousand given by Shen Juanxiu was left with slightly more than one hundred and ninety thousand. He just couldn¡¯t afford to pay the full amount. ¡°Could you lower the price a bit? I can install the Puppet Power Source myself. You just need to reserve a slot for the Spirit Stone.¡±


    Hearing this, Chai Lun did not express any doubt.


    After all, Chen Mobai was a new student of the Puppet Department of Dance Tool Dao Academy and had attended quite a few of Che Yucheng¡¯s classes. As a budding prodigy, he had enough time to master the basics of Puppetry Technique.


    ¡°In this case, one hundred and ninety thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Stone recharging device also doesn¡¯t need matching, I have an old set, I can install it myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no intention to use the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone that required repeated recharging, but to use the ores from the Tianhe realm directly, especially since he had earned quite a bit from chopping logs recently.


    Upon hearing this, Chai Lun slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth, but still lowered the price a bit.


    ¡°One hundred and eighty-five thousand.¡±


    ¡°I will maintain it myself afterwards, after-sales service is not needed.¡±


    ¡°Fixed price, one hundred and eighty thousand Good Deed Points, junior brother, this is really the final price.¡±


    After calculating in his mind, once Chai Lun was sure he could earn a considerable profit with the expected value, he also gave his final bottom price. ¡°Alright, when can this simulation puppet be delivered?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the deal, primarily because he was urgently concerned about his own cultivation.


    During this period, Ming Yuhua had begun the Transfer to Pure Yang Scroll and had made some progress. Two people in the Metaphysical Class who chose to cultivate ¡°The Union of Differences¡± had also sensed their respective Fate-match items.


    ¡°It might take a month. One of the partners in our workshop graduated last year, and another junior is at a crucial moment of breaking through the realm and can¡¯t leave. We are short-handed.¡±


    Chai Lun wanted to extend the delivery time in the contract, but Chen Mobai was in a hurry.


    ¡°Could it be faster?¡±


    ¡°That would be impossible, but I will try to finish it a few days in advance.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai could only nod in agreement. Soon after, Chai Lun immediately printed up a custom-order contract.


    Since it was a personal custom-order, an 80% down payment was required.


    For his cultivation, Chen Mobai was willing to invest a big sum.


    After signing the contract, he immediately transferred the Good Deed Points to Chai Lun. Upon receiving the money, Chai Lun was enthusiastic about taking Chen Mobai for a full body examination at the hospital to collect body model data.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen the Soulful Mirror before, Teacher Che has my data, you can ask him for it.¡±


    Medical examinations cost money too. Chen Mobai wanted to save wherever he could.


    Chai Lun thought that made sense too. The data captured by the Soulful Mirror was definitely more accurate than that of the hospital.


    Professor Che Yucheng had given Chen Mobai a call before, and he saved it.


    After explaining the situation to Che Yucheng, the latter was very understanding. However, he insisted that Chen Mobai himself come over to write an application, and this data could only be handed over to him personally.


    Chai Lun didn¡¯t have much else going on, so he went with Chen Mobai. Before leaving, he also bought a basket of Spirit Fruits. After all, this business deal was introduced by this particular teacher.


    ¡°Take good care of it. Don¡¯t lose it.¡±


    In the office at No. 1 Building, Chen Mobai wrote the application. Che Yucheng took out a flash drive that had been prepared from his drawer.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Che.¡±

    Che Yucheng nodded, then suddenly asked Chai Lun a question.


    ¡°Gan Tao graduated. Your workshop should be short-handed, right.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Teacher Che.¡±


    Chai Lun, unsure why Che Yucheng had asked this, still responded respectfully.


    ¡°He is making his own simulation puppet. You can mentor him..¡±

 Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Recognition !

    Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Recognition !


    Translator: 549690339


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s suggestion, Chai Lun¡¯s mouth fell open, a hint of bitterness in his gaze, and he wanted to refute.


    ¡°Teacher Che, making puppets is most time-consuming. Little Chen has just started first year and has a busy course load. I can¡¯t let this affect his studies. Although he is also a new student specializing in puppet lines, he only has theoretical knowledge at the moment. The actual production, assembly, and even debugging tasks require a lot of hands-on experience¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m simply suggesting.¡±


    Che Yucheng replied with a smile. Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand why he suggested he should help, he knew that the director of the academy¡¯s education system would never harm him and nodded immediately in agreement.


    ¡°I can help for free. This is a rare internship opportunity. Plus, since I am the sample for the humanoid puppet, having me on the side should speed up the production process, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai assumed that Chai Lun was reluctant to lower the price if he helped, so he immediately spoke up.


    ¡°Since Little Chen doesn¡¯t have any objections, you can take him along.¡±


    Che Yucheng gently spoke. If it were anyone else, Chai Lun would not have agreed, but because it was Che Yucheng speaking¡­


    ¡°Alright then.¡±


    In the end, he could only helplessly nod in agreement.


    Now Chai Lun understood why Che Yucheng had referred this business to him ¨C to teach Chen Mobai.


    He understood the hardships of teaching novices, especially ones new to puppetry techniques. For the novice to master it properly, at least a year or two of hard grinding is required.


    Puppetry technique within the Dance Tool Dao Academy is an unpopular major, hence why Che Yucheng is willing to guide every student who is willing to learn this craft.


    ¡°My temperament isn¡¯t great while I¡¯m working. If you can¡¯t stand it, feel free not to come.¡±


    After they left the first block, Chai Lun abruptly said.


    Chen Mobai voiced that it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    However, he regretted it a bit the next day.


    Chai Lun¡¯s temper is more than problematic, when he¡¯s making puppets, it¡¯s like he¡¯s a completely different person.


    The originally polite and gentle man transforms into a fanatic. Chen Mobai¡¯s work had a deviation of just half a millimeter, which led to a half-hour rant from Chai Lun.


    ¡°Do you know that a life-size puppet is composed of a minimum of 12,000 parts?¡±


    Chen Mobai did indeed know, as he had learned about it in class.


    ¡°So, if every part deviates by half a millimeter, what would this humanoid puppet you¡¯re assembling end up looking like in the end?¡±


    When Chai Lun said this, Chen Mobai gave it a thought, scratching his head.


    ¡°Maybe, probably¡­ it would turn into a slightly fatter version of myself.¡±


    ¡°Slightly fatter!¡± Chai Lun¡¯s voice suddenly rose by five tones, then he continued his rant, ¡°More than slightly fatter, I tell you, the final result would be a deformed monstrosity. Any performance would deviate, and eventually, if one were to lose control and die in the Cultivation Room, it would all be because of this part you made that was half a millimeter too large¡­¡±


    After ranting, Chai Lun snatched the tool in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, pointed to a small stool in the corner with a look of revulsion.


    ¡°Just sit there and rest, don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll consider you the supervisor, don¡¯t add to the chaos.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also annoyed. He was a novice, and it was normal to make mistakes the first time, couldn¡¯t Chai Lun simply teach him?.


    However, once settled on the little stool, after observing Chai Lun¡¯s movements for a while, he realized that he needed to learn from his dedication to every single part.


    Even when a part was seemingly perfect, if the spiritual power it transmitted was half a second slower than usual during testing, Chai Lun would remake it three times until the data showed no deviation.


    Chen Mobai, who originally planned to watch for a while and then leave, unconsciously stayed till it was nighttime.


    As Chai Lun was about to turn off the lights to leave, he saw the takeaway box on the table and was startled.


    ¡°I saw you hadn¡¯t eaten, so I ordered some for you.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chai Lun vaguely felt that having another person in the studio wasn¡¯t entirely a bad thing.


    At least someone could help order takeaway.


    After eating, the two of them exited the studio.


    The next day, Chen Mobai attended his main class in the morning, and two electives in the afternoon, before rushing back to the studio.


    Chai Lun was already there, holding the blueprint of a finished right index finger, comparing it with Chen Mobai¡¯s body data model, checking for adjustments.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, Chai Lun glanced at him, and pointed to the little stool in the corner.


    Seeing the warning in his senior¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai who wanted to showcase his skills, could only obediently sit down.


    At this moment he finally understood why Chai Lun looked so bitter when Che Yucheng mentioned that he should mentor him.


    It¡¯s genuinely hard to master puppetry techniques.


    Without someone leading, even if he wasted lots of materials, there was no guarantee he could learn the basics.


    After delivering takeout for seven days straight, Chen Mobai finally got a chance to help.


    Some materials Chai Lun ordered had arrived, Chen Mobai was asked to sign and bring them into the studio.


    Once inside, it was certain that he had to break things apart. Some had been covered in class, such as the mana flexible pipes that replaced the meridians, organic synthetic material replacing the bones, and the gears within the joints. But others hadn¡¯t been covered yet, such as a square green piece the size of a fist, engraved with countless array prohibitions, which made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes cross, and he couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    He had to modestly ask for guidance: ¡°What¡¯s this, senior?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the central controller. This is the most expensive thing. The ones produced by the Repairing Heaven Institute are the best quality.¡±


    After periods of take-away deliveries, as long as Chai Lun wasn¡¯t agitated, he¡¯d give detailed explanations to Chen Mobai¡¯s questions.


    After all, it was a junior asked to be looked after by Che Yucheng.


    Once Chen Mobai knew the name, he immediately researched related content online.


    Turns out that this tiny square controlled the entire puppet. It embodies the essence of puppetry techniques used by the immortals and the price accounts for more than half the cost of the puppet.

    The production of Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet gradually began under the guidance of experienced hands like Chai Lun.


    Half a month later, it seemed as if Chai Lun had forgotten about before and he allowed Chen Mobai to begin filing parts again.


    This time, Chen Mobai was completely respectful, following the blueprint precisely down to the millimeter.


    Even still, after checking, Chai Lun found three flaws. However, he didn¡¯t rant this time. Once Chen Mobai produced a piece that satisfied him, he gave Chen Mobai twenty more part blueprints to work on.


    The moment Chen Mobai received the blueprints, he felt a sense of recognition. This made him happier than when he ranked in the top three for the monthly puppetry technique exam..

 Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Sleeper_l

    Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Sleeper_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the classroom of the Talisman course, Chen Mobai was sitting in a corner by the window, feeling a little distracted.


    After the class bell rang, the teacher placed a stack of corrected talismans on the rostrum, then began to announce the grades.


    ¡°The first place in this Qi Absorbing Talisman test goes to Zhuang Jialan.¡± The bespectacled woman sitting in the front row stood up and claimed her submitted talisman when her name was called.


    When she turned around, Chen Mobai glanced at her briefly.


    She was quite pretty.


    Dainty nose, dimples formed by her light smile, exquisite skin as clear as jade, and spectacles, along with eyebrows specially drawn for a gentle and charming look, she looked demure but exuding an aura of innocence.


    ¡°Second place, Si Guanyu.¡±


    The next one to go up was another of the top students in their grade majoring


    in talismans.


    There are gains and there are losses. Thanks to the tutoring he received from Chai Lun, Chen Mobai consistently ranked in the top three in the Puppet Lines course. His practical assembly lessons have consecutively ranked first seven times, earning him the reputation of a budding prodigy in puppetry.


    However, the flip side of this was that because he didn¡¯t invest much energy in his other major-the talismans course-and coupled with the fact that his talent for drawing talismans was quite average, he¡¯d been consistently among the last since the beginning of the semester.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the three who came in through the backdoor and always ranking last, Chen Mobai would have been the last in this year¡¯s class.


    ¡°Twenty-third place, Chen Mobai.¡±


    Upon hearing his name, he hurriedly went up and collected the ¡°Qi Absorbing Talisman¡± he had drawn from the teacher.


    This is a Rank-1 superior talisman. Using it can guide spiritual energy to a specific location. It¡¯s typically used during meditation. One would place it on a mat to assist with cultivation.


    At a lower level, it was capable of enhancing one¡¯s spiritual energy level by a small stage.


    Because Chen Mobai had a good foundation during his time at the Cinnabarite Institute, he was able to keep up with the progress of the talisman course at Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    This ¡°Qi Absorbing Talisman¡± was fairly standard, and the instructor gave him


    a passing score of 60 points.


    Just as he was about to leave having collected his work, the teacher called him back.


    The teacher was Gao Yu. Though he was only at the Foundation Establishment level, he was a Rank-3 Talisman Maker. In terms of his achievements in talismans, he could be called an expert among immortals.


    He glanced at Chen Mobai and spoke with a tone of disappointment.


    ¡°1 know you¡¯re obsessed with puppetry, but you must know that the real major way lies in the talismans.¡±


    ¡°You are a smart boy, you got into the Daoist Academy on your own merit and have made some progress in the unpopular puppetry technique. Of course, your talents are inarguable. But I hope you would spend more time on the study of talismans.¡±


    ¡°The pinnacle of puppetry in the immortal field is only the peak of Rank-3. In contrast, the talismans passed down in our Daoist traditions can achieve up to Rank-5, capable of moving the stars and the moon. It¡¯s far more than what a mere puppet can achieve.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only lower his head and agree. He couldn¡¯t very well say that it wasn¡¯t because he wasn¡¯t trying hard, but that this was his actual talent limit.


    This Qi Absorbing Talisman was the best result he chose after drawing a hundred of them. If it were back in Tianhe Realm, it would already be considered a fine product.


    Little did he know that in the first-grade class of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, all it was worth was a passing grade.


    Because his fame was rising in the Puppet Lines course, everyone attributed his poor performance in the Talisman course to his lack of dedication, instead of his lack of talent.


    Everyone thought he was engrossed in puppetry and chose the Talisman course out of perfunctory intent, and only studied it during class, never practicing afterwards.


    Even so, his grades were able to keep up with the majority of the class, and he understood all the basic knowledge points.


    Both Teacher Gao Yu and the rest of the class believed that as long as Chen Mobai focused on the talisman course, his grades could soar at any time, and he might even surpass Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, the two geniuses.


    It is for this reason that despite consistently ranking amongst the last in the Talisman course, no one dared to look down on Chen Mobai.


    Some people even gave him a nickname.


    The Sleeper.


    After receiving his criticism, Chen Mobai returned to his seat in a daze, unaware of the thoughtful gazes from the two top students in the class.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu consistently ranked first and second in the Talisman course, but while they were competing against each other, they were also keeping an eye on Chen Mobai.


    They even believed that it was the pressure of this sleeper who could wake up at any time that allowed them to progress so quickly.


    They wanted to use this time to elevate themselves to a level that even if Chen Mobai decided to focus on talismans, he would not be able to catch up.


    But all of Chen Mobai¡¯s attention was now focused on the Practise Puppet that was about to be completed.


    After labouring for twenty-five days, only final assembly, uploading his data model, and adjusting the features were left under Chen Mobai¡¯s careful assistance.


    Finally, the day was here.


    Chen Mobai had had enough of his slowly progressing Longevity Sutra technique.


    After class, even though he was still feeling a little dazed, he quickly gathered up his textbooks, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and bolted out of the classroom.


    Both top students, who had wanted to exchange a few words with him, couldn¡¯t help but look at each other in surprise.


    ¡°Honestly, I wanted to ask him for this month¡¯s class fee.


    Zhuang Jialan stomped her foot a little annoyed as she watched Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s front him the money for now.¡±


    Si Guanyu, a boy who was as mild-natured as his name implied, also served as an officer along Zhuang Jialan. They were like unofficial spokespeople for the Talisman class of new students of this batch.


    Chen Mobai had absolutely no idea about all this. As soon as he arrived at Chai Lun¡¯s workshop, he skillfully picked up a wrench and helped the latter assemble the last limbs and head of the Practise Puppet.


    Time quickly passed as he focused all his attention on the task.


    Unbeknownst to him, the sky has already darkened outside, and the Practise Puppet had reached its final step.


    ¡°I will demonstrate this once so you can adjust it later when there is a problem.¡±


    Chai Lun placed the assembled faceless puppet onto a cleared partition, then took out a U-disk containing Chen Mobai¡¯s body data and inserted it into the left slot.


    The Practise Puppet still had its head open, with wires extending from the central controller linked to a twenty-centimeter-square screen.


    Chai Lun¡¯s fingers moved so swiftly they left afterimages. He quickly completed the data transfer.


    Then, he instructed Chen Mobai to input the Qi Cultivation technique from the Pure Yang Scroll and started the first debugging.

    The result was perfect.


    The half-hour-long practising technique showed all the potential problems Chen Mobai might encounter during the process on the screen.


    For example, when reaching Qi Cultivation stage six, the two meridians in the left hand were not strong enough. Before the breakthrough, a need for nurture and expansion is needed, which can then enable the condition to break through to Qi Cultivation stage seven in one go.


    Then there was the shortest, and longest time it takes to complete the Three Yang Body. He could set his own conditions to change within this range. With Chai Lun there, Chen Mobai did not dare to set the condition for full spiritual stone cultivation, which could substantially reduce the time taken. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard during this period, senior.¡±


    After practicing the Pure Yang Scroll once and confirming there were no issues, Chen Mobai was excited. He thanked Chai Lun and paid the remaining balance. As Chai Lun watched Chen Mobai carry the Practise Puppet away, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes..

 Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Performance Method 1

    Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Performance Method 1


    Translator: 549690339                    ¡ª


    Inside the wooden hut.


    Chen Mobai opened the puppet¡¯s head, inserted a Spirit Stone, and then initiated the cultivation simulation of the Longevity Sutra.


    A series of code flashed across the screen embedded on the forehead, which then transformed into an information stream flowing from the central controller to the whole body.


    With a nervously beating heart, Chen Mobai began to watch as the simulation puppet¡¯s body turned transparent.


    Wisps of spiritual energy poured down from the Spirit Stone, simulating the cultivation scene of the Longevity Sutra, where spiritual energy was drawn in. It then passed through the twelve levels, fell into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, and was distributed along the twelve meridians to the vital points and veins throughout the body.


    When circulating to the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, the spiritual power suddenly halted.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to observe closely. About five minutes later, the spiritual power finally painfully emerged from this meridian. But he found that compared to the initial abundance, it had lost about a third of its spiritual energy.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He pressed the pause button, made a mark at this point, and planned to review it after the simulation.


    Then, the spiritual power reached the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming and encountered the same problem as before. Once again, it stalled for five minutes and by the time it emerged, another third of the spiritual power had decreased.


    Chen Mobai frowned and immediately marked it again. One of the advantages of using his own invention was that he could pause whenever he wanted.


    The spiritual power flowed along the twelve meridians within the body to the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming and the Spleen Meridian of Foot-Taiyin. Here, the circulation was exceptionally smooth. In fact, the power even seemed to have slightly increased when it emerged.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai had a hunch about the answer in his heart.


    According to the theory of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, the intestines and lungs contain metal. When the wood-attribute spiritual force cultivated by the Longevity Sutra passes through the meridians of these two organs, it may have been intercepted by the hidden Metal Spirit Root.


    The stomach and spleen nourish the earth, and earth nourishes wood. So when the Longevity Spiritual Power passed through the stomach and spleen meridians, it was nourished by the Earth Spirit Root, leading to some augmentation.


    To verify his hypothesis, Chen Mobai pressed the simulation button again.


    As he expected, when the Longevity Spiritual Power passed through the Heart Meridian of Hand-shaoyin, it had probably been scorched by the Fire Spirit Root, thereby losing another fifth, but the spiritual power became even purer as a result.


    Next, it passed through the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin and the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, and the Wood Spiritual Power was nurtured by the Water Spirit Root, replenishing the part that had been reduced by the heat of the Fire Spirit Root.


    Finally, when the spiritual power entered the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin and the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, where the Wood Spirit Root was located, it neither increased nor decreased. But Chen Mobai felt that the Longevity Spiritual Power, which was initially refined from spiritual energy, began to truly transform into his own power at this point.


    Once again, it converged into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, and the spiritual power turned into a small whirl of Qi.


    This represented the completion of one cycle of the Grand Circulation for the Longevity Sutra.


    After watching it once, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t linger. He directly fast-forwarded the simulation puppet¡¯s training cycle for all nine layers of the Longevity Sutra.


    All one can say is, expensive things have their reasons for being expensive.


    During this complete simulation, Chen Mobai discovered many small issues that he would never have considered while cultivating.


    But these small issues had become key factors hindering his cultivation progress.


    He didn¡¯t know whether there was a problem with the Longevity Sutra that Liu Wenbo had given him or if his spiritual root was not suitable for this cultivation technique.


    Compared to the slow but smooth cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, if he cultivated following the standard route of the Longevity Sutra, it might result in a situation where he would make great efforts but achieve little.


    He would have to adjust every minor realm, and even more changes would need to be made to the cultivation paths of the beginning, middle, and end stages to make it more suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s physique and spiritual roots.


    Being cautious by nature, Chen Mobai decided to make a trip back to the Tianhe Realm to verify his thoughts.


    After making an appearance at Bud Hall to show his existence, he went to the Book Pavilion and didn¡¯t hesitate to spend Spirit Stones to purchase the Longevity Sutra from the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, it turned out he misunderstood Liu Wenbo. The content of the two versions of the Longevity Sutra was exactly the same, except that the version from the Divine Wood Sect included some annotations and examples to make it easier for new disciples to understand.


    After returning to his wooden hut, Chen Mobai looked at the results displayed by the simulation puppet and fell into deep thought.


    After the simulation, nearly one-tenth of the content of the Longevity Sutra had to be changed in order to perfectly adapt to Chen Mobai¡¯s physique and spiritual root.


    He was eager to start cultivating according to this result, but he felt that the technique from the Divine Wood Sect, which had been passed down for hundreds of years through the Five Elements Sect, surely couldn¡¯t be wrong.


    The simulation puppet had made many changes, which made Chen Mobai somewhat uncertain.


    He didn¡¯t sleep all night.


    When Chen Mobai woke up the next day, he had already made a decision.


    Crimson Mountain, Building One.


    Che Yucheng was somewhat stunned as he watched Chen Mobai carry the simulation puppet into his office.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying, back in your hometown, you accidentally found two ancient books in a cave and found them interesting, so you decided to test them using a simulation puppet based on yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai kept nodding. As a student, he would naturally consult his teacher when faced with a difficult decision.


    Also, over these days, Che Yucheng, the professor of the Puppet Lines, had taken good care of him, the puppetry prodigy.


    Chai Lun even said that as long as he maintained his current rate of progress, as long as he achieved Foundation Establishment, he could ask to become a ¡¯ disciple, and Che Yucheng would definitely agree to accept him.


    Consulting his future teacher about this question seemed perfectly reasonable.


    As for potentially exposing the existence of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai had thought about it.


    But for now, he crafted a story about finding treasure in a cave, after all, there have been such miracles in the world of cultivation.


    Mainly, he had learned and seen more in the Dance Tool Dao Academy than at any other time in his life.


    He is willing to trust his teachers here.


    Che Yucheng took out a blank USB drive and skillfully copied the simulation result from the memory of the puppet Chen Mobai brought, inserted it into his own computer, and began to view it.


    At first, he was somewhat distracted, but after reading two pages, interest appeared on his old face.


    After reading the information, he closed his eyes. About ten minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes again.


    ¡°These two techniques seem a bit like a combination of the ancient evil sects


    Shrine of Life and Death¡¯ and ¡®Flower Bloom Courtyard.¡¯ Where did you get them?¡±


    ¡°From the Taixu Mountain Range¡¯s¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a story about accidentally falling into a cave as a child.


    After hearing it, Che Yucheng nodded.


    ¡°Teacher Che, what are the ancient evil sects?¡±


    This was the second time Chen Mobai had heard this term. When he previously searched for the ¡°Devour God Technique,¡± the national library of the Immortal Gate also had this keyword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The ¡°Devour God Technique¡± is a forbidden technique!


    Could all forbidden techniques originate from the ancient evil sects?


    Or, were these techniques classified as forbidden because they were from the ancient evil sects?


    ¡°Have you cultivated the Limit Techniques?¡±


    Instead of directly answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Che Yucheng asked something seemingly unrelated..

 Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Chapter 187 All Included_l

    Chapter 187: Chapter 187 All Included_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I borrowed the original from the library, but haven¡¯t had time to cultivate it.


    Chen Mobai told the truth. Given how miraculous the Edge Technique was, he had long ago incorporated it into his cultivation plan.


    However, he hasn¡¯t even achieved perfection in Qi Cultivation yet, and is far from Foundation Establishment, so there¡¯s no need to waste time on the Edge


    Technique just yet.


    ¡°The Two Phases Technique seems quite innovative, if you really want to cultivate it, I suggest you temporarily give up cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll while cultivating Qi, and focus on the Immortality Sutra.¡±


    Che Yucheng said a sentence which left Chen Mobai puzzled.


    ¡°Master Che, doesn¡¯t the Two Phases Technique require me to cultivate two mutually engendering attributes from the Five Elements? If I only cultivate the Immortality Sutra, wouldn¡¯t it be pointless?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s realm is not high enough, but Che Yucheng patiently explained to him, even taking out an Attributeless Puppet to demonstrate.


    ¡°Come, I¡¯ll show you.¡±


    As he spoke, Che Yucheng imported Chen Mobai¡¯s body data model into the Attributeless Puppet. Then, to Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishment, he simultaneously inputted the Immortality Sutra, the Two Phases Technique, and the Pure Yang Scroll.


    No one knew how Che Yucheng set it up, but the spiritual power cultivated by the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll interlocked within the transparent dantian Qi sea, forming a shadow of a green cyclone with a spark of flame in the middle.


    ¡°This is the Two Phases Technique simulated by the Attributeless Puppet, combining the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly nodded his head. Although he still didn¡¯t understand Che Yucheng¡¯s meaning, it didn¡¯t stop him from pulling out his notebook and start taking notes.


    A demonstration puppet can only run one technique. Only a high-end product like the Attributeless Puppet can run three techniques simultaneously.


    However, running three techniques at the same time requires Che Yucheng s personal manipulation and cannot be fully automated.


    Then, the Attributeless Puppet started demonstrating the cultivation of the Immortality Sutra, from Qi Cultivation all the way to the ninth layer and finally attempting Foundation Establishment.


    But this time it failed.


    ¡°As I thought.¡±


    Che Yucheng seemed to have expected this result, while Chen Mobai could only take photos and take notes, recording his doubts in his heart. He¡¯d wait until the demonstration was over to ask for clarification.


    ¡°Do you know why the Foundation Establishment failed?


    But at this moment, Che Yucheng hit the pause button and began to guide him directly.


    ¡°Could it be that this technique is not compatible with my physique? Or the Immortality Sutra is problematic?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s the other two techniques that hindered your Foundation


    Establishment.¡±


    After looking through Chen Mobai¡¯s Immortality Sutra and Two Phases Technique, Che Yucheng seemed to have a clear understanding.


    ¡°The Two Phases Technique links the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang


    Scroll together, and if the Pure Yang Scroll wants to establish a foundation, it needs to cultivate the Three Yang Body. The Puppet demonstrated that all the conditions for Foundation Establishment for the Immortality Sutra are met, but due to the impediment of the Three Yang Body, Foundation Establishment cannot be achieved.¡±


    At this point, Che Yucheng began to adjust the conditions again.


    Under the conditions of achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation of the Immortality Sutra, the Attributeless Puppet also brought the Pure Yang Scroll and the Three Yang Body to perfection, then simulated Foundation Establishment. Just like when the Pure Yang Scroll was run individually, it was successful.


    ¡°If you establish a foundation with any one of the techniques alone, there¡¯s more than a fifty percent chance of success.¡±


    Che Yucheng was very satisfied with this aspect of Chen Mobai, but he pointed at the screen on the head of the Attributeless Puppet, which showed the youngest age at which Foundation Establishment could be successfully achieved with the Two Phases Technique linking the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll.


    52!


    ¡°This is too slow. If you establish a foundation at this age, you¡¯ll only have one


    chance.¡±


    ¡°Though the Attributeless Puppet shows you have over a fifty percent chance of a successful Foundation Establishment, it¡¯s not a hundred percent. If you fail, your life is ruined.¡±


    On hearing this, realisation dawned on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He understood what Che Yucheng meant.


    ¡°Master, I understand, from now on I will focus on one technique.


    As for which one to focus on, he would definitely choose the Pure Yang Scroll, the broad avenue of the Immortal Sect.


    But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Che Yucheng was shaking


    his head.


    He was wrong.


    ¡°Actually, this Immortality Sutra is quite interesting too, extending lifespan to provide more time for cultivators of the Two Phases Technique to progress and break through. But due to a lack of understanding, it¡¯s not utilised to its full potential.¡±


    ¡°Master Che, so what do you suggest?¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely confused, scratching his head. Then he saw Che Yucheng give a slight smile and start operating.


    He originally thought that running three techniques at once was the limit of the Attributeless Puppet. But Che Yucheng showed him the terrifying potential of the Attributeless Puppet, touted as the peak of the Puppetry Technique of the Immortal Sect.


    The silver-haired old man¡¯s fingers clicked continuously on the screen.


    Between the Immortality Sutra and Pure Yang Scroll, which were connected by the Two Phases Technique, he forcefully inserted another technique.


    This technique directly broke the link between the Immortality Sutra and the


    Pure Yang Scroll.


    But it did not break the Two Phases Technique.


    It was like a seal, or a lock.


    The link between the two techniques through the Two Phases Technique still existed, but it was no longer effective.


    Then the Immortality Sutra, without the perfection of both the Pure Yang Scroll and Three Yang Body, simulated a successful Foundation Establishment.


    After that, the seal of the Two Phases Technique was released. The Pure Yang Spiritual Power, which was originally rooted in the Immortality Sutra, began to constantly draw upon the Wood Spirit Power, growing rapidly to reach the level of Foundation Establishment.


    After that, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was continuously refining and absorbing the essence of the Longevity Spiritual Power. But when it evolved to the realm above Foundation Establishment, the Spirit Stone of the Attributeless Puppet was depleted.


    After Chen Mobai watched this, he widened his eyes, remembering the question that Che Yucheng had asked at the beginning.


    His breathing began to quicken.


    ¡°Unlike you youngsters, who are limited in their abilities and choose to give up one choice when facing situations where you cannot handle two things at once, we old folks are different.¡±


    Che Yucheng said this, copying the results of the Attributeless Puppet s demonstration into a USB flash drive and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°With our knowledge and abilities, we can achieve the best of both worlds.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the flash drive with an excited expression, bowed deeply to Che Yucheng in gratitude.


    Che Yucheng sat down in his chair, pointed at the Attributeless Puppet whose spiritual energy was depleted, and Chen Mobai nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he would come over every day to recharge it.


    Che Yucheng nodded in satisfaction, and then began to give instructions. ¡°Actually, with your talent, you are not suited for cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll. I should have advised you to quit cultivating it right after the demonstration by the Attributeless Puppet concluded. But now, it¡¯s also a good opportunity.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You just focus on cultivating the Immortality Sutra for now. You should be able to establish a foundation around the age of thirty by following the cultivation method deduced from the demonstration by the Puppet.¡±


    ¡°You can link the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll with the Two Phases Technique when you reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, or you can do it now. Anyway, the cutoff is at age thirty. If you can master the Edge Technique before thirty and fulfill the preconditions I put forth during the Puppet¡¯s demonstration, then you can keep this seed of Pure Yang Spiritual


    Power.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, just give up the Pure Yang Scroll and concentrate on cultivating the Immortality Sutra.¡±


    ¡°Only with Foundation Establishment do you have a future..¡±

 Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Farming l

    Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Farming l


    Translator: 549690339


    After returning from Building One, Chen Mobai spent an entire night reflecting alone at home.


    In the end, he decided to fully accept Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance.


    He looked at the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll on his phone, sighing.


    It would have to be set aside for now.


    However, the Pure Yang Daoist Body could carry on with the continuous induction of Spirit Stones.


    Once the decision was made, his cultivation progressed very smoothly.


    Chen Mobai directly converted the spiritual power vortex of Five Elements Cultivation into the spiritual power of the Endless Life Sutra, and within two short months, he had practiced the technique up to Rank-3 QI Cultivation.


    He was keen on advancing to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation in one fell swoop.


    Unfortunately, the leave of absence from the Divine Wood Sect came to an end.


    The three-month-long stint of log chopping at the Bud Hall was over, and they could choose to develop their own cave dwelling or go to one of the three Halls and twelve Divisions to deepen their studies, earning Spirit Stones and building connections in the process.


    The others were all worrying about how to get into a good department.


    Such as the Alchemy Department, the Artifact Refining Department, and the Talisman Making Department, the three hottest departments.


    As long as one could get in, even as a menial worker, the cost of purchasing necessary cultivation materials would be much cheaper, even at cost price.


    But compared to the rest who were agonizing over gains and losses, Chen Mobai was calm and collected.


    Ever since he was given advice by Che Yucheng, he had made up his mind to let go of all distractions and focus on cultivating the Endless Life Sutra, with Foundation Establishment as his primary goal.


    Joining one of the three Halls and twelve Divisions was to learn a skill and earn Spirit Stones for cultivation.


    But he was not short of ways to make money.


    As for building connections, Chen Mobai believed that as long as he became stronger, he would eventually become the one that others needed to ingratiate themselves with.


    So, he did not submit applications to any Division, and after discussing with Yuan Chiye, he claimed three mu of Spirit Field at the Spirit Plant Division of the sect.


    The Divine Wood Sect has plenty of Spiritual Lands so long as disciples are willing to cultivate them, the sect will even subsidize with Sect Contribution Points.


    Harvesting a catty of Spirit Rice yields one Sect Contribution Point.


    On average, a mu of Spirit Field matures in one year and produces one hundred catties of Spirit Rice, which is considered satisfactory.


    The following year, the sect will continue to freely entrust you with the cultivation of the Spirit Field, and you may even claim more mu to cultivate.


    Chen Mobai felt that the ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± he had chosen as an elective at Dance Tool Dao Academy, would prove to be highly rewarding here.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, living a reclusive life in the countryside is a good way of life, but sometimes, cultivation requires competition!¡±


    When packing up to leave the Bud Hall, Yuan Chiye made a point to come and see him off.


    Chen Mobai knew he always expected great things from him.


    He was a direct subordinate of E Yun, who lived up to everyone¡¯s expectations by returning to the sect two months ago, took the Foundation Building Pill, and succeeded in one fell swoop.


    After Foundation Establishment, E Yun was consolidating his realm, but probably within a year, he would be dispatched to Yun Meng Ze to reopen the market destroyed by the Demonic beasts, thereby creating a new source of revenue for the sect.


    This task would undoubtedly require a substantial number of personnel.


    Disciples like Yuan Chiye, who had been by E Yun¡¯s side from the beginning, would undoubtedly continue to follow him to Yun Meng Ze.


    Chen Mobai was originally seen as a promising force among the younger generation. After several interactions, his handling of affairs greatly satisfied Yuan Chiye, but his temperament was too indifferent. At the age of twenty, he was already thinking about retiring to a rural life.


    Still, he had spent some time nurturing him, so Yuan Chiye came over to persuade once more.


    ¡°Senior brother Yuan, for the time being, I have enough Spirit Stones and don¡¯t need to compete for more. However, I will always remember the kindness of you and senior brother E. If there is ever a need for me, please don¡¯t hesitate to ask.¡±


    Chen Mobai also knew that it was E Yun who had helped him escape from the pursuit of the South Mountain Thieves, and he remembered this life-saving grace.


    ¡°To each their own aspirations, then, take care, junior brother.¡±


    Yuan Chiye did not say more, gifting Chen Mobai a small, delicate hoe as a parting gift.


    This was a small magic artifact for weeding, and seemed to have been used by him.


    However, Chen Mobai was still extremely grateful.


    ¡°Brother Chen, keep in touch.¡±


    When he left, many new disciples from South Creek also came to see him off. Liu Wenbo was still polite and respectful.


    ¡°Disciple Liu, you handle things well. I will leave them in your hands after I go farming.¡±


    The new disciples from South Creek, during the three months when Chen Mobai was retreating, basically all found their own paths and had already left Bud Hall.


    For example, Zhuo Ming, due to her outstanding symbol-making skills, became an apprentice in a symbol shop in the sect¡¯s Fang Market. While applying to the Symbol Making Department, she was also slowly learning and improving.


    Apart from fighting, the remaining new disciples of the sect who have no other skills proficiencies, also decided to follow Liu Wenbo. The latter also chose to follow E Yun and, under his management, joined the Spirit Beasts Department.


    A year later, Liu Wenbo will be taking this group of disciples from South Creek to Yun Meng Ze to open a new market with E Yun.


    After learning about this, Chen Mobai immediately renounced his position as the leader of this generation of South Creek to fully concentrate on Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, also to lend some help to E Yun.


    After the handover was complete, he left feeling much lighter.


    Giant Tree Ridge was sparsely populated on its vast terrain.


    With a Godspeed Talisman attached to him, Chen Mobai travelled for two hours before finally reaching the three-acre Spirit Field assigned to him by the sect.


    This Spirit Field was opened in the woodland, and Chen Mobai could still see twenty odd tree stumps in the field that had not been completely cleared away.


    The boundary was marked by a circle of Red Sun Trees that had not been cut down.


    After walking around and measuring the spiritual energy value with his phone, he found that in the very center of the Spirit Field, there was surprisingly a lower-grade Rank-2 Spirit Vein Aura.


    ¡°What a waste.¡±


    Generally, a lower-grade Rank-2 Spirit Vein could nourish a ten-acre Spirit Field, but the Divine Wood Sect had only casually opened up three acres here.


    Additionally, the previous claimant left unknowingly, and now the Spirit Field was overrun with weeds. The distribution of spiritual energy was uneven, and even some snakes and insects had taken over several spots where the spiritual energy was strong.


    Chen Mobai immediately activated the Needle box. The flying golden needles killed all the snakes and rats, and then, at the point where the spiritual power was most vigorous, he released a Wooden House Talisman.


    He was about to enter the house when he noticed the sound of buzzing mosquitoes. Swarms of them were flying out of the woods towards his wooden house.


    ¡°Just in time to test this magic artifact.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up, and he took out a pair of white jade bells strung together with a red rope from his storage bag and gently shook one of them.


    Ding ding dong dong!


    The sound waves spread out, and all these mosquitoes fell onto the Spirit Field as if they had lost their souls before they could even get close.


    After ringing six consecutive times, no more insects or mosquitoes came out of the Red Sun Forest.

    Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, then entered the house and closed the door, returning to the Land of Yuan Star.


    The following day, after the agricultural studies course at the Dance Tool Dao Academy ended, Chen Mobai took his notebook to the teacher to ask about farming problems.


    ¡°Oh, you mean you want to plant a few small things for practice. That¡¯s excellent, come, come with me to the Daoist Academy¡¯s experimental field. I¡¯ll explain slowly there.¡±


    This teacher named Lin Wenkang was a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.


    Seeing that Chen Mobai, a student who usually performed poorly, suddenly started working hard, he felt that his teaching had had an effect, so he enthusiastically led Chen Mobai to the classroom outside..

    Translator: 549690339 |


    In the wooden cabin, Chen Mobai was sitting on a cushion, veins throbbing on his forehead, his face a picture of pain.


    Just then, a melodious and pleasing divine sound rang from the white jade bell placed by his side, falling into his ears like heavenly music. Subsequently, his pained expression began to ease and gradually he looked as usual.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his pupils flickered with a sharp light, slowly retracting after quite a while.


    This was a phenomenon of his divine sense breaking through again, something he was not yet able to fully control.


    ¡°The Fire Clearing Pill is indeed powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai swayed the white jade bell in his hand, the sound of subduing God constantly ringing.


    After his breakthrough, his surging divine sense began to relax, gradually merging into the Green Paulownia seedling in his Dantian. It had already grown five leaves and there was even a bud floating on top.


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai has left the Red Sandstone City for five months


    now.


    After receiving instruction from the best teachers in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had cleared all the doubts before Foundation Establishment.


    With the help of the puppet that performed magic, his cultivation of the ¡®Eternal Life Sutra¡¯ was extremely smooth. Furthermore, his original Five Elements Cultivation could transform into any Five Elements technique without hindrance. Along with the ample spiritual energy and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he quickly advanced to the realm of Qi Cultivation six-layer.


    If he wanted to, he could easily break through to the Qi Cultivation seven-layer with just seven days of closed-door cultivation, based on the results of the puppet performing magic.


    However, at this time, his ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± reached the grand achievement realm.


    Although the main benefit was from taking one ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± every seven days and the calming effect of the white jade bell, which helped him control his surging divine sense, it was still the first cultivation technique that Chen Mobai had cultivated to a grand achievement realm. He was very happy.


    Today, he took the 22nd Fire Clearing Pill and successfully broke through to the divine sense realm of Qi Cultivation Nine-Layer.


    From now on, although the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique can continue to increase his divine sense, if he wants to go further, to let his divine sense out of his body, he needs to cultivate other higher-level techniques.


    As he listened to the sound of the white jade bell calming his divine sense, waiting for the Green Paulownia seedling brought forth by his contemplation in his Sea of Consciousness to fully form on top, Chen Mobai felt that he had gained control over the divine sense increased by taking the pill.


    ¡°The number of pills Qing Nu made for me is quite alright, with just one more.1


    Chen Mobai picked up the jade vial beside him, which still contained the last


    Fire Clearing Pill. However, for him, it was no longer of much use.


    After putting the pill and the white jade bell into the storage bag, Chen Mobai teleported to the Tianhe Realm.


    It was also a wooden cabin.


    Upon opening the door, he saw green and properly arranged rice seedlings.


    Looking around, the three acres of Spirit Field, which had once been covered with weeds, were now filled with Spiritual Rice seedlings.


    Although it was Chen Mobai¡¯s first time sowing seeds, having often been taken to the terraces by his mother when he was young, he was familiar with the process.


    He also consulted the academy¡¯s teachers on agricultural studies, so the seedlings this time grew very well; their leaves were tender and lush with straight and slender stems. It was clear that they would produce full-bodied Spiritual Rice in the near future.


    In addition to these three acres of Spirit Field, Chen Mobai also developed additional Spirit Fields in his spare time during cultivation, according to the knowledge he learned in class.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, only he would do such a thing.


    It would have taken at least a year for any other disciple to open up a field.


    Agriculture was the most advanced in the immortal sects, wherever it was possible to cultivate, it was all developed into Spirit Fields. Not only was the technology advanced, but there were also various tools for ploughing and


    cultivating.


    Being financially tight after custom making the puppet for performing magic, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford to buy farming tools, but luckily, the Daoist


    Academy had some.


    He sent an application to Lin Wenkang.


    The latter was very pleased with his focus on agriculture after puppetry, and directly approved his application to borrow the academy¡¯s farming tools.


    The quality of the farming tools in the academy is much better than those sold in the market, but they consume a bit of spiritual power.


    Before opening a spirit field, the nearby Red Sun Trees must first be chopped down.


    For Chen Mobai, chopping logs was a rather easy task.


    The creation of a Spirit Field depends mainly on the grade of the Spirit Vein.


    According to the methods of the Immortal Sect, the Rank-2 lower-grade Spirit Vein here can be evenly distributed into ten mu of Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Fields.


    Chen Mobai needs to plant Jade Bud Spirit Rice, a Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Plant, for the Divine Wood Sect.


    In the beginning, the three mu of spirit field, which was cleared, ploughed and covered with soil, had already been fully sown.


    As for the newly opened seven mu of spirit field, because the aura of the Spirit Vein was just transferred over, it would need another half a month to be conditioned before it can be sown.


    After checking the seedlings and confirming there were no diseases or pests, he pulled out several dead seedlings.


    As it was his first time farming in the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to plant rice varieties that had already been cultivated by the Immortal Sect. He could only receive the Jade Bud Spirit Rice given out by the Sect.


    As he had no choices in the type of seeds, even though he had done a very good job in the entire process from sunning the seeds, soaking them, promoting germination and sowing them, about one-tenth of the seedlings he pulled out were not satisfactory.


    However, because Chen Mobai used the spiritual fertilizer potion from the Immortal Sect, he didn¡¯t need to worry about the fertility of the soil in the Spirit Field or pests. Plus, having a fully developed Divine Sense, he could easily see those seedlings that had turned slightly yellow.


    After plucking and replacing them, in these three mu of spirit field, only the good rice varieties were left.


    Chen Mobai was confident that when the Jade Bud Spirit Rice matures, he would be able to harvest at least one hundred and fifty jin per mu.


    If he had a few more years to select superior types, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to harvest two hundred jin per mu.


    Chen Mobai took out the spirit fertilizer that he bought from the Immortal Sect from his storage bag and took out the only tool he didn¡¯t borrow from the academy.


    It was a small disc with a diameter of about half a meter, a flying puppet tool he made himself.


    It can fly for ten days and nights by placing a lower-grade Spirit Stone in the groove in the middle.


    Chen Mobai inserted a transparent plastic hose into the large water tank at the door of the wooden house, the other end was plugged into a pipe protruding from the top part of the flying fertilizer spreading puppet disk.


    After injecting spiritual power to start it, the disc began to rotate and fly, drawing water mixed with spiritual fertilizer from the tank while spraying it everywhere in the Spirit Field following the route set by Chen Mobai.


    Having confirmed that the fertilization was without issues, Chen Mobai went back to his cabin to continue his cultivation.


    Seemingly due to his fully-developed Divine Sense, he made a direct breakthrough to the seventh level of the Immortality Scripture this time during meditation.


    At this moment, the Spiritual Power Vortex in the Qi Sea, which originally represented the Five Element Cultivation, was left only as a silhouette.


    Chen Mobai had an intuition that as soon as the Immortality Scripture absorbs the entire Spiritual Power Vortex, it would be the time when he breaks through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.

    This was probably another benefit of having a fully-developed Divine Sense.


    At this thought, he remembered that he still had a storage bag that had not been opened.


    Today, with the completion of the ¡°Nourishing Thoughts and Casting God¡± cultivation technique, he could try again.


    Chen Mobai took out the flying puppet that just finished fertilizing from his storage bag. He activated the set of formation from the sect to protect the Spirit Field, preventing wild beasts from Giant Tree Ridge from feeding on these seedlings.


    Then he returned to his place on Planet Diyuan and pulled out the storage bag he had acquired from Green Light Island from his backpack..

 Chapter 190 - Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Opening the Storage Bag 1

    Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Opening the Storage Bag 1


    Translator: 549690339    0   b¡ª


    Inside the room.


    Chen Mobai stared at over eight hundred Spirit Stones which had just spilled out from the storage bag onto the floor, leaving him stunned.


    After successfully mastering the cultivation technique ¡°Nourishing Thoughts and Casting God¡±, he effortlessly removed the previous owner¡¯s imprint from the storage bag. Although he hoped for some gain, such a massive reward still caught him off guard.


    He was never one to have particularly good luck.


    Who would have known that the storage bag he¡¯d picked up amongst the ruins on Green Light Island would yield such an astounding fortune?


    Snapping back to his senses, Chen Mobai excitedly stacked the Spirit Stones one by one.


    Counting as he stacked, he finally ended up with a small hill-like pile of 867 lower-grade Spirit Stones, making him dizzy with joy.


    After setting aside the Spirit Stones, the rest of the items inside the storage bag came into Chen Mobai¡¯s view.


    There were three cultivation technique books.


    Upon checking, they turned out to be the ¡°Sutra of Eternal Life¡±, ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, and ¡°Dual Phase Technique¡±!


    Could this bag have belonged to a disciple of Divine Wood Sect?


    A hint of suspicion flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he saw the three cultivation techniques.


    In Green Light Island Market, few could hold such many Spirit Stones.


    Before the attack of the demonic beasts, the Divine Wood Sect had handed out multiple Spirit Stones to sect disciples like Wang Yuanwu to hire loose cultivators on the island.


    These three techniques perfectly matched the standard kit of a true disciple from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Besides the techniques, there were also two sets of clothes, which suggested the owner was a male cultivator, and over a hundred taels of gold.


    There weren¡¯t any pills or talismans inside the storage bag. Probably the previous owner had consumed all the pills and expended all the talismans while fighting until the last moment on Green Light Island. Only these Spirit Stones and techniques, which were of no use in battle, were spared.


    The owner might have hidden this storage bag in a concealed spot in the market before dying in battle, where it was later discovered by Chen Mobai, who left no stone unturned.


    Upon realizing this storage bag might belong to a true disciple of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai became convinced that his decision to buy Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag was absolutely right.


    If it had been recognized, having the 867 Spirit Stones reclaimed would be the least of his problems; If he were accused of harming fellow disciples by the Divine Wood Sect, he might have to go on the run.


    Chen Mobai stowed the Spirit Stones into the bag he had bought from Yuan Chiye, and coupled with his savings, he now had 1097 lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    It was enough for him to cultivate the ¡°Three Suns Body¡±.


    Perhaps it was all in his head, but he felt as if the sky-blue silk pouch had become somewhat heavier.


    It took him quite a while to come back to his senses from the jubilation of this sudden wealth.


    He finally calmed down after half a moment of browsing through the three techniques before him.


    Upon browsing through ¡°Sutra of Eternal Life¡± and ¡°Dual Phase Technique¡±, it turned out to be the same book he had exchanged from the sect¡¯s Book Pavilion.


    But, he had heard of ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± several times, yet he hadn¡¯t seen it before.


    However, he was very familiar with this fire attribute technique.


    After all, in Green Light Island, irrespective of Qi Hou, Qi Rui, or even Wang Yuanwu, he knew each Divine Wood Sect disciple cultivated this technique. Qi Rui had even given him his notes on refining the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±, it¡¯s just a shame it was not easy to find someone in the Tianhe Realm, unlike the Immortal Gate where a simple phone call will suffice.


    Chen Mobai also asked Yuan Chiye about how many people the Divine Wood Sect had withdrawn after the battle on Green Light Island, and if these familiar faces were among them.


    However, Yuan Chiye found it too troublesome and told him to find out for himself after he left Bud Hall.


    Unfortunately, as time passed, Chen Mobai was too busy chopping logs, cultivating, and farming, and he gradually forgot about it.


    Now, seeing the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, he was immediately reminded of his time on Green Light Island.


    It was his first time facing the dangers of the cultivation world in Tianhe Realm, and also a crucial period of growing from an inexperienced youth into a mature individual.


    This fire attribute technique unexpectedly includes both talisman and sword dual cultivation.


    Other areas are fine. After all, Chen Mobai has already mastered the ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡± recorded above.


    After his studies at the Daoist Academy, he is confident he can draw the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±. However, he hasn¡¯t had the opportunity to do so yet due to the specific type of talisman ink required.


    As for the subsequent ¡°Two Sword Talisman¡± and ¡°Three Sword Talisman¡±, he might need to further refine his talisman scripting ability.


    However, this Red Flame Sword Jue also documents the first three realms of sword cultivation.


    Sword Training to become Gang, Sword Gang transforming into Qi, and Rainbow Sword Qi!


    Among them, Sword Training to become Gang involves condensing spiritual power into Sword Gang, which can be attached to anything, cutting iron like mud.


    Previously, the loose cultivators who wanted to rob Chen Mobai¡¯s Casting Sword Ring belonged to such a realm. They attached Sword Gang to their longswords, who, thus, become as sharp as flying swords.


    Sword Gang transforming into Qi is a higher realm.


    At this stage, the Sword Gang is condensed into Sword Qi, which can attack from a distance. The more refined the Sword Qi, the farther the attack range and the stronger the attack power.


    Usually, those who can ¡°transform Sword Gang into Qi¡± are considered unblockable killers among their peers at the same Qi Cultivation level, because they can¡¯t use the technique of Divine Consciousness Leaving Body to avoid it.


    Finally, ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± can only be practiced after the Foundation Establishment.


    In such a realm of sword cultivation, the emergence of Sword Qi can pull the nature¡¯s spiritual energy, just like terrifying tidal waves and long rainbows in the sky.


    Chen Mobai recalls the Casting Sword Ring that is buried in the bottom of his storage bag.


    Since this was also a thing that he found, and because it is exclusive to the true disciples of the Golden Cliff, Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t dare to ask Yuan Chiye about it, and he also doesn¡¯t have the time to look it up at the Book Pavilion.


    However, it seems to be very helpful for sword training?


    Chen Mobai thought about the loose cultivators who wanted to snatch this brass ring, and became thoughtful.


    However, he simply glanced at the Red Flame Sword Jue and put the technique book back into his storage bag.


    Now the main goal is to break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation then try to establish the foundation. He also needs to improve his Spiritual Root in his spare time. Currently, he doesn¡¯t have the time to spare for sword training. Moreover, if he wants to practice sword in the future, he will certainly follow the path of Immortal Sword Technique.


    Because the way of sword cultivation would certainly be researched more deeply in the Immortal Door than in the Tianhe Realm.


    One of the seven Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques of the Immortal Door, which is not taught in the Daoist academies and can only be cultivated by three masters of the Immortal Door, is called ¡°Immortal Sword Technique,¡± and it is known as the first in killing.


    For example, Yuan Yang, this true monarch of Divinity Transformation, is a grandmaster of sword cultivation.


    At his peak, he wielded the Primordial Yang Sword, demonstrating the brilliance of one sword breaking all laws.


    While thinking, Chen Mobai took out the Casting Sword Ring.


    This ring has been appraised by Wu Wan before, but Chen Mobai now knows that Wu Wan¡¯s appraisal was incomplete, and some hidden functions have not been identified.


    He thinks it is necessary to fully understand the functions of this magic artifact.


    He gets up.


    He doesn¡¯t go to the Divine Wood Sect for answers, but makes a phone call instead.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother, I found a fascinating magic artifact at the second-hand market. Do you have time to help me appraise it?¡±


    On the other end of the phone is Ming Yuhua, who has also made a big splash in the Artifact Refining Department in the past six months.


    Unlike Chen Mobai, who is somewhat unreal in his talent, Ming Yuhua is a genuine genius.


    Not only did he pass the Rank-t Treasure Appraiser exam in his first month of enrollment, he also recently passed the Rank-1 Artifact Refiner exam. He is known as the most talented refining genius in the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the past decade.


    Ming Yuhua agreed very simply, asking Chen Mobai to come to the artifact room in Building 6 to find him..

 Chapter 191 - Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Same Participator !

    Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Same Participator !


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°This ring is a sword training implement.¡±


    ¡°Those who have achieved Sword Gang can inject their Sword Qi into it, creating a corresponding form, saving time on the cultivation of Sword Qi by Sword Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°However, the primary function is similar to the Puppet Technique. It can help those in the first Realm understand the condition of Sword Gang Transforming Qi in the second realm, giving them a sense of direction.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s description, Ming Yuhua toyed around with various equipment in the Daoist Academy¡¯s appraisal room. After a thorough examination, he finally discovered its real use.


    No wonder it is called ¡®Casting Sword Ring.¡¯¡±


    Understanding this, Chen Mobai then figured out why South Mountain thieves recognized it and couldn¡¯t help but steal it.


    One of the Golden Cliff¡¯s apprentices might have fallen in the battle against the demonic beasts in Green Light Island, leaving behind this Casting Sword Ring.


    If he manages to establish a successful foundation in the future, he could use the Casting Sword Ring to cultivate the Red Flame Sword Qi, offering a defensive cover to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Where did you dredge up a treasure like this?¡±


    After the appraisal, Ming Yuhua returned the Casting Sword Ring to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai simply mentioned that he bought it at Crimson City¡¯s Antique Street.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that place full of fakes? You truly have a golden touch to find a gem like this.¡±


    As a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser and Artifact Refiner, and a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Ming Yuhua often helps people authenticate their so-called ancient treasures and artifacts. Most of them usually turn out to be counterfeits, contemporary knock-offs of ancient artifacts.¡±


    ¡°I just got lucky. Speaking of which, have you been in touch with Yunyang Bing? I haven¡¯t seen him in a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic.


    ¡°A while ago, he was busy helping his professors install a Spiritual Gathering Array in a research institute. He probably got back today.¡±


    Upon this, Ming Yuhua immediately gave Yunyang Bing a call. As expected, he was at the Daoist Academy.


    There wasn¡¯t much to talk about. Chen Mobai invited them for a meal, and the three of them had a good time.


    ¡°By the way, Chen, I¡¯ve heard about your reputation as a farming and puppetry genius. You used to be into talismans, why the sudden change?¡±


    Ming Yuhua teased while enjoying his meal.


    All Chen Mobai could do was shake his head bitterly. Both puppetry and agriculture were considered minor disciplines at the Daoist Academy, the number of their students was even less than half of the talismanology department.


    Only eleven students in their year chose puppetry.


    Agriculture attracted even fewer students, only seven.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the seniors who chose these minor disciplines for the sake of credits, they wouldn¡¯t even have enough students to form a class.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai stood out. Through hands-on practice, he managed to integrate and understand the theoretical knowledge, barely securing the title of ¡®genius¡¯ in these two fields.


    ¡°Perhaps I¡¯m not gifted in talismans. Come on, let¡¯s change the subject. Let¡¯s drink.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic again, asking about Yunyang Bing¡¯s Formation cultivation progress.


    However, Yunyang Bing just sighed.


    ¡°I¡¯ve overestimated myself. Next year, I might have to focus on Ground Array cultivation. After I pass the Rank-2 Ground Array, I will start considering Sky Array cultivation.¡±


    Yunyang Bing also took the exam for a Rank-1 Ground Array Master last month, at which Chen Mobai could only express envy.


    The two of them are true prodigies. Even though Yunyang Bing failed at simultaneously practicing ground array and sky array, being able to complete an assessment of Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal at the age of twenty virtual years may seem ordinary at Dance Tool Dao Academy, but when compared to the whole Immortal Sect, they are indeed the most brilliant talents in array techniques.


    While accompanying them for drinks, Chen Mobai also thought about finding a time to take a certification exam.


    However, because he has recently focused on practicing the longevity sutra, his knowledge in puppetry technique and spirit plants has not been fully perfected. If he takes the exam now, he might fail.


    For other universities, failing the exam a few times is considered normal.


    But for students of the four great Daoist academies, getting a rank-1 certificate should be accomplished at the first try. Otherwise, it¡¯s a disgrace.


    Thinking about this, Chen Mobai felt he should spend more time studying and improving before going for the exam when he was more confident.


    ¡°I heard that Zhongli Tianyu broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment a while ago.¡±


    Ming Yuhua brought up another matter, which Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing were also aware of.


    Those students in the Metaphysical Class who practice ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and Zhongli Tianyu have the same tutor. When the latter broke through, discussions in the group were heated, with envy, determination, and even despair leading some to choose to give up.


    ¡°His object for The Union of Differences is the Bagua Mirror of his ancestor Zhongli, so he doesn¡¯t need to waste time searching. After successfully practicing The Union of Differences, he benefits from the Rank-4 Magic Artifact of the same bloodline, and his cultivation speed won¡¯t slow down before Nascent Soul Formation. It is estimated that he will achieve perfect Foundation Establishment and attempt Core Formation before his hundredth birthday.¡±


    At this point, even the usually cheerful Ming Yuhua was somewhat bitter.


    To practice ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, one needs to find an object that matches the cultivator¡¯s life fate. A good example of this is Zhongli Tianyu, who directly got an artifact from his bloodline ancestor. His cultivation progresses half the work, double the results, and he basically will not be stuck in a bottleneck when he breaks through realms.


    But if the choice is not good, it will hinder the cultivator¡¯s progress, doing twice the work for half the results.


    The prodigies of the Metaphysical Class have all forcefully practiced ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ relying on their strong talents, but they all want the best for their objects of the same fate, at least a Rank-3 magic artifact or a spirit plant.


    So in this class, the only one who has determined his object for the Union of Differences is Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Finding an object for The Union of Differences is not as easy as it sounds. One of my grandfathers had amazing talents, but he spent so much time on the object for The Union of Differences that he ultimately failed in Core Formation.¡±


    Yunyang Bing chose the Pure Yang Scroll because he had this example in his family.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We first practice the Pure Yang Scroll, and after reaching Foundation Establishment, we can try the Spirit Artifact Cultivation Method derived from The Union of Differences. This way, we can at least reach the door to Core Formation. As long as I can reach Core Formation in this lifetime, I will have lived up to my parents and friends.¡±


    Ming Yuhua has a very clear plan for his cultivation path, which is also one of the reasons he chose the Refining Implement Department.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel comfortable stating that he had temporarily put aside the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, with only the Pure Yang Daoist Body still progressing steadily by consuming spirit stones.


    The three of them, a small Pure Yang circle, chatted for a while on their way home after finishing their barbecue and beer.


    ¡°Once the spirit rice I planted is ripe, I will personally brew a pot of wine for you guys to taste.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    When they parted ways at the school gate, Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing full of anticipation.


    This spirit rice is not the Jade Bud Spirit Rice planted in the Divine Wood Sect, but the spirit rice in the half-acre experimental field allocated to the new students of agricultural studies.


    Chen Mobai planted Water Clear Rice from his old home in Taixu Mountain Range.


    The wine made from this rice has a sweet and pure taste, is refreshing, and like drinking sweet dew. Regular consumption also purifies the body and rejuvenates the marrow.


    Because he was familiar with it from an early age, the Water Clear Rice in his half-acre experimental field grew well, with full rice ears, and was highly appreciated by his mentor Lin Wenkang. The mentor praised him for his talent in farming..

    Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Reaping l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, have you ever learned the legacy of the Spirit Plant Master?¡±


    ¡°Never, I have just been interested in farming since I was a child.¡±


    At the edge of a Spirit Field in the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai was chatting with two disciples from the spiritual plant division of the Divine Wood Sect. In front of them were three acres of fully mature Yubud Lingmi.


    The air was filled with a heart-warming aroma of rice.


    Looking around, it was a sea of golden grain.


    The full rice ears looked like grains of gold naturally hanging low, with a perfect curve. As the breeze blew through the woods, they swayed steadily, like golden waves rolling in succession.


    This scene of abundant harvest satisfied the two Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, who had come to inspect the harvest of the Spirit Field.


    One of the disciples plucked a rice ear, and held it in his hand, feeling the fullness of the grain shell, and smiling at the corners of his mouth.


    ¡°Chen Senior Brother, would you like to join our spiritual plant division?¡±


    ¡°Well, actually, I enjoy farming, and there are seven acres of Yubud Lingmi in my Spirit Field about to mature too, and to prevent pests, I can¡¯t leave.¡±


    Now that Chen Mobai joins the Divine Wood Sect, his only aim left is to get the Foundation Building Pill. He does not wish to waste time elsewhere.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chen Junior Brother, our spirit plant department doesn¡¯t micromanage. You¡¯ll be quite free after you join.¡±


    ¡°Also as long as you¡¯re a disciple in our spirit plant department, you can freely obtain the Lingzhi Husband¡¯s legacy from the Book Pavilion.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also an annual allowance of a hundred Spirit Stones. This can be stacked with the sect¡¯s benefits.¡±


    After hearing the words of this senior brother named Lu Jun, Chen Mobai was somewhat tempted. He had no interest in the Lingzhi Husband¡¯s legacy because the immortal gate has better ones.


    The key point was the additional income of a hundred Spirit Stones a year.


    Although he was indeed rich now, with thousands of Spirit Stones, one could never have too many of this resource.


    ¡°Lu Senior Brother, does the spirit plant department have any other duties besides these benefits?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided it was better to ask first, there¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch after all.


    ¡°Occasionally, there are some issues in the spirit fields and medicine fields within the sect, and we need the help of the disciples from the spirit plant department. Looking at your farming skills, Junior Brother, I dare say that you will be among the top in the spirit plant department.¡±


    Lu Jun put it quite clearly: he valued Chen Mobai¡¯s farming skills, and wanted him to guide the other farming disciples within the sect to see if they could increase the yield.


    ¡°Well, I am currently at a critical point in my cultivation, and may not be able to multitask.¡±


    If it¡¯s just guiding one or two people, Chen Mobai could accept that. But if he were expected to go around the entire Divine Wood Sect, then he¡¯d rather decline.


    ¡°Junior Brother, take your time to think about it.¡±


    Lu Jun merely made a casual mention. Since Chen Mobai was not very enthusiastic, he didn¡¯t say much more about it.


    ¡°Teng Junior Brother, let¡¯s harvest this three acres of Yubud Lingmi.¡±


    Lu Jun and another disciple from the spirit plant department took out two sickles, and started harvesting the three acres of fully mature Spirit Field with their magic artifacts.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, disciples could claim the Spirit Field and get seeds and formation, but when it was time to harvest, the people from the spirit plant department had to come and do it.


    At this time, the people from the spirit plant department would calculate the harvested yield on the spot and immediately settle the contributions to the sect.


    Lu Jun and his partner seemed to be well versed in this matter, since they completed it very quickly, in just two hours.


    However, Chen Mobai still felt they were too slow. If he could use the harvester from the Dimensional Cultivation, he could have finished harvesting these three acres by himself within half an hour.


    ¡°A total of 458 jin, and a yield of 150 jin per mu. This has already broken the sect¡¯s record.¡±


    After weighing, another spirit plant division disciple named Teng Jie was shocked.


    The price of this Yubud Lingmi in the market is 10 jin for one lower-grade Spirit Stone. That is to say, the three acres harvested here, combined with the seven acres of Spirit Field that is about to mature, total to a crop worth 150 Spirit Stones.


    And what did the Divine Wood Sect pay for it?


    Just some inexpensive rice seeds and a lower-grade Rank-1 Azure Light Formation.


    The Azure Light Formation is worth 50 Spirit Stones, but its ownership is still with the spirit plant department, and they could take it back at any time.


    That means they only paid a few Spirit Stones¡¯ worth of seed costs.


    This man was born to be part of their spirit plant department.


    The two exchanged glances. Lu Jun, who only casually invited Chen Mobai to join the spirit plant department earlier, felt that he might not have shown enough sincerity just now.


    ¡°Junior Brother, did you open up these other seven acres of Spirit Field yourself?¡±


    In terms of the claiming procedure, only three acres were claimed. So theoretically, the crops from the remaining seven acres of Spirit Field belong to Chen Mobai himself.


    Lu Jun clearly remembered this, because it was him who came to harvest this three-acre Spirit Field last time, although the yield was very average, only about 80 jin per mu.


    ¡°Indeed, farming is only busy during sowing. Other times it¡¯s just killing bugs with the Spirit Needle Technique and watering. In my spare time from cultivation, I just took a hoe and opened up the wasteland nearby. It¡¯s also a way to subsidize my cultivation needs.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered truthfully.


    The spirit plant department of the Divine Wood Sect managed thousands of acres of medicinal fields, so how could they be interested in his tiny seven acres of Spirit Field?


    But he didn¡¯t realize that the spirit plant department, while managing thousands of acres of medicine fields and focusing mainly on spiritual medicine, had also abandoned several hundred acres of Spirit Fields due to lack of manpower.


    If Chen Mobai could manage these barren Spirit Fields, even just sowing the basic Yubud Lingmi, he could still harvest thousands of Spirit Stones a year.


    Excluding what had to be handed over to the Three Halls of the Sect, their spirit plant department could still get half.


    Even after being exploited layer by layer to get to these disciples, they could still gain at least a few dozen Spirit Stones.


    This farming genius must be in their spirit plant department.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, we¡¯ve been harvesting for half a day and are a bit thirsty.


    I wonder if we could ask for a cup of water?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was wondering why these two hadn¡¯t left yet, Lu Jun suddenly wiped his forehead, pretending to be sweaty, and asked for water.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately scooped two large bowls of water from the big water tank at the door for them.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, let¡¯s be frank. Someone like you definitely needs to join our spirit plant department. If the Sect Leader finds out and we don¡¯t recruit you, our Division Leader will surely be blamed for leaving a talent like you in the wilderness.¡±


    ¡°Whatever request you have, just tell me. Whatever I can satisfy, I will.¡±


    ¡°What I can¡¯t satisfy, I can apply to the Division Leader.¡±


    After hearing the sincere words of Lu Jun, Chen Mobai found it a bit strange, was he so popular just because he was good at farming?


    But since the other party had already said so, he might as well make a request.

    ¡°I want the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nearly suffocated.


    This demand was something not even the three Foundation Establishment elders of the spirit plant department could satisfy, let alone him.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, if you want the Foundation Building Pill, then you really ought to join our spirit plant department.¡±


    Just as Lu Jun was about to shake his head and leave, Teng Jie on the side suddenly spoke up..

 Chapter 193 - Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Contribution of the Cultivation

    Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Contribution of the Cultivation


    Sect to Farming¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Oh, Brother Teng, please do elaborate.¡±


    Chen Mobai was instantly interested.


    ¡°Brother Chen, your Spiritual Root Talent is exceptional, and at such a young age, you have already reached the late stage of Qi Cultivation. I assume you¡¯ll also contend for the position of True Disciple, as only by becoming a True Disciple, one gains eligibility to exchange for Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    What Teng Jie said made sense, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, didn¡¯t conceal anything and just nodded.


    ¡°With Brother Chen¡¯s age and talent, you certainly have a promising future. Brother Liu from our Spirit Plant Division failed his Foundation Establishment last month and his realm dropped, he should be stepping down from his position as a True Disciple in the next few days.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jun slightly furrowed his eyebrows, but thinking of the three hundred sect contributions that Brother Liu had borrowed from him for the Foundation Building Pill, he chose to remain silent.


    ¡°Out of the twenty-four True Disciples of our sect, our Spirit Plant Division is assured of having at least one spot. After Brother Liu¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure and his significant depletion of Elemental Energy, plus owing everyone a lot of sect contributions, it¡¯s certain that he won¡¯t return to the ranks of True Disciples until he settles his debts.¡±


    ¡°After Brother Liu, the one to take his place as a True Disciple from the Spirit Plant Division should be Brother Li Li. However, he¡¯ll occupy the position for a bit, his actual talent and skills are even inferior to Brother Liu¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Chen were to join our Spirit Plant Division and work diligently for ten years, by the time the next batch of Foundation Building Pills is ready and if you reach the Perfection of Qi Cultivation, whether it¡¯s competing with Brother Li Li or earning another True Disciple spot for our Spirit Plant Division, it would be much better than being alone out in the wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai was greatly moved by these words.


    Indeed, although the Divine Wood Sect only requires ten thousand sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill on the surface, there are many unwritten rules in reality.


    For example, True Disciples are given priority.


    In the ranks of True Disciples, one¡¯s place on the roster also matters.


    And within the roster, those who haven¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment have a higher priority than those who have failed once.


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to challenge a True Disciple with no backing in the sect¡¯s grand comparison after a few years of achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation, aiming to take their place.


    However, now that he had heard Teng Jie¡¯s words, he realized that even if he succeeded in doing so, wouldn¡¯t he then become a True Disciple in the eyes of other disciples, one with no background and thus could be challenged?


    If he joined the Spirit Plant Division, even though he might be a bit busier, at least he would have a tree to shelter him from the wind and rain in the Divine Wood Sect.


    But, isn¡¯t it too early to join now?


    Chen Mobai was still hesitating, as his current focus was extending towards achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation, he really didn¡¯t want to waste time on other things.


    ¡°Brother Chen, there is another key factor in exchanging for a Foundation Building Pill, I wonder if you have considered it.¡±


    Just then, Teng Jie spoke again.


    ¡°It must be about sect contribution points.¡±


    Chen Mobai was quick to grasp the key and immediately stated it.


    Teng Jie nodded and explained the details to him, this new sect disciple.


    ¡°The setting of sect contribution points is related to Spirit Stones. For most sect tasks, the number of Spirit Stones the task is worth is equivalent to the contribution points given to the person who completes it. This means we need to earn ten thousand Spirit Stones for the sect in order to accumulate enough sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°However, among all sect tasks, there are a few exceptions. Some tasks, being too small in scale, having too little harvest, and no one willing to do them, yet being indispensable to the sect, lead the Reward Virtue Hall to adjust the proportion of contributions to guide sect disciples to carry out these tasks.¡±


    ¡°Farming is one of these.¡±


    ¡°While other tasks provide one sect contribution point for each Spirit Stone, farming requires almost a year to harvest. During this period, pests must be exterminated using the Spirit Needle Technique, irrigation must be done using the Falling Rain Technique, and attacks from birds and beasts must be fended off. The output doesn¡¯t match the input, which has led to the abandonment of hundreds of acres of Spirit Fields in our Divine Wood Sect. All disciples who know about Spirit Plants have applied to take care of medicine fields.¡±


    ¡°Because the value of a single top-tier Rank-1 medical plant is equivalent to the yield of an acre of Spirit Field.¡±


    ¡°After Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, in order to avoid contamination from ordinary grains, cultivators who have reached the Qi Cultivation stage and above usually consume Spirit Rice apart from the Fasting Pill. If no one farms, should we let Foundation Establishment elders or even the two ancestors do it in person?¡±


    ¡°Therefore, in order to encourage disciples to farm, the sect specifically adjusted the conversion ratio of farming contribution to ten times. Even so, many disciples choose to give up after a year, feeling that they put in too much and get little in return.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Chen is willing to showcase his skills, even if you can¡¯t look after too many Spirit Fields by yourself, guiding some newly joined disciples and taking a tenth of the contribution at harvest time.¡±


    ¡°If you do this for a decade, you probably won¡¯t need to borrow from fellow disciples when exchanging for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai was completely swayed.


    So, farming brings such high returns?


    However, this was mainly because he came from Xianmen where his farming technique is superb, coupled with the ample Spiritual Energy of Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Since Brother Teng is so sincere, I will gladly accept.¡±


    At this statement, the three of them shared a chuckle.


    Thus, Chen Mobai went with the two of them to the Divine Wood City at the center of Giant Tree Ridge.


    This was also the only place in Giant Tree Ridge where mortals could survive, as the vast medicinal fields of a thousand acres outside the city constituted the heart of the Divine Wood Sect.


    There were numerous Spiritual Medicines, but the manpower of the Spirit Plant Division wasn¡¯t sufficient, so some ordinary Spiritual Medicines were entrusted to the mortal descendants of sect disciples.


    All three halls and twelve divisions had offices in Divine Wood City. Almost eighty percent of the disciples from the Spirit Plant Division took care of medicine fields here.


    Lu Jun and Teng Jie handed over the Jade Bud Lingmi in their storage bags to the overseer in charge of intake, completing a division task.


    After the intake was confirmed by the Spirit Plant Division, Chen Mobai took his Divine Wood Sect disciple nameplate to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to swipe, and he would find an additional 458 sect contribution points.


    Although a sect contribution point is equivalent to a Spirit Stone, in private transfers, the price tends to float about twenty percent higher.


    ¡°Brother Chen, please wait here for a moment with Brother Teng.¡±


    While they were invited, it was necessary to inform the leadership above.


    Lu Jun went in with a smile, but came out almost immediately with a strange expression on his face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Please, both of you, come in.¡±


    They arrived at a big hall with many chairs, and saw that quite a number of people were already sitting inside.


    The three leading figures sat in a line under a giant map, sipping tea with varying expressions.


    Beneath the three of them, seven or eight Divine Wood Sect disciples were sitting on either side. The one on the left had a pale face as if he was severely drained of his Elemental Energy. The one leading on the right had yellowish skin with rough hands and feet, appearing like an old farmer.


    Following the entry of Chen Mobai and the others, one chubby Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed to some empty seats in the corner. Lu Jun immediately led them to sit there and listen silently..

 Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Spirit Plant Department_l

    Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Spirit Plant Department_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Those three are our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s Director, Deputy Director, and Inspector.¡±


    ¡°The one on the left is Brother Liu Guilong, and the one on the right is Brother Li Li.¡±


    After sitting down, Lu Jun introduced them to Chen Mobai through a voice transmission spell.


    ¡°Director, although I failed in Foundation Establishment, my realm has not fallen. I believe it¡¯s best for me to continue holding this true disciple position.¡±


    The pale-faced Liu Guilong, who is the true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department, had just finished speaking when Li Li stood up to refute him from across the table.


    ¡°Brother Liu, you know the rules of our sect; the capable ones should hold the position. I¡¯m not trying to take your true disciple¡¯s place, but the annual sect competition is approaching. Although you haven¡¯t fallen in realm, you failed to establish the foundation, which greatly reduces your magic duel capabilities. If you lose in the competition, wouldn¡¯t it disgrace our Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯m not very talented, at least I¡¯m confident that I can win over many within the sect, except for a few extraordinarily gifted disciples.¡±


    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Brother Liu focus on healing first? After your injuries heal, you can perform some sect tasks to return the contribution points you owe us. After that, I will immediately return your true disciple¡¯s position to you.¡±


    As soon as Li Li said this, many fellow disciples around him nodded in agreement, even some disciples beside Liu Guilong showed hesitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s rather unwise of Brother Liu to cling so desperately to his position. It doesn¡¯t align with his usual character. Could it be that his mind is disturbed due to his failure in Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Teng Jie murmured to himself and Lu Jun, who was beside him, couldn¡¯t help but nod, feeling that it must be so.


    Afterward, the two of them each had their own arguments. Chen Mobai sat quietly in the corner without saying a word. When the two of them wrapped up their arguments, the three leaders had finished their tea.


    ¡°Reasoning is something that can¡¯t be clearly argued out.¡±


    The chubbily built elder who was sitting on the far right laughed and then proposed a simple solution.


    ¡°Two nephews, why not settle it with a magic duel, according to the sect¡¯s rules? Whoever wins will be our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s true disciple representative.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Li held back his laughter, nodding his head at the three leaders to indicate his agreement.


    Despite Liu Guilong¡¯s pale face, a ruthless look flashed through his eyes. But just as he prepared to teach Li Li a lesson, his ear twitched and his eyes flashed with resentment. But in the end, he sighed.


    ¡°Never mind. We are all fellow disciples, there¡¯s no need for hostility. Nephew Liu, it¡¯s best if you focus on healing your injuries for now.¡±


    The one sitting in the center of the three Foundation Establishment stage elders suddenly spoke up.


    Lu Jun introduced him as Lu Zhiwen, the Director of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°The position of true disciple will be temporarily taken by Nephew Li.¡±


    Once Lu Zhiwen spoke, the resolution was immediately settled. The two Foundation Establishment elders on either side had no objections and nodded in agreement.


    And so, Liu Guilong could only leave dejectedly.


    When he left, only a Qi Cultivation stage disciple followed him.


    The remaining four people all gathered around Li Li, the newly appointed true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Come, follow me.¡±


    Seeing the three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators each get up to leave, Lu Jun immediately brought Chen Mobai with him to follow the chubby elder and arrived in a courtyard.


    ¡°This is Elder Sun Gaochang of the Reward Virtue Hall, who is also our Spirit Plant Department Inspector.¡±


    As Teng Jie walked alongside Chen Mobai, he introduced the identities and backgrounds of the people they met.


    The Spirit Plant Department is a crucial department in the Divine Wood Sect, which controls thousands of acres of medicinal fields. Its three Foundation Establishment elders come from three different halls.


    The inspector comes from the Reward Virtue Hall who oversees the produce of spiritual medicines and Spirit Rice to prevent corruption. Although his position and power may not be as high as those of the Director or Deputy Director, no one dares to take him lightly.


    Lu Jun and Teng Jie are his subordinates.


    ¡°Sit.¡±


    After crossing the courtyard, the three of them came to a study. Sun Gaochang motioned for them to sit down and then started reading the document handed up by Lu Jun.


    It was the task report for their harvesting trip to the three acres of Spirit Field planted by Chen Mobai.


    When Sun Gaochang saw the yield per acre, he couldn¡¯t help but brighten up.


    ¡°Nephew Chen just joined this year?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to say more but only nodded in response, pretending to be frightened.


    Sun Gaochang then asked about who guided him into joining the sect, his Spiritual Root Talent, his current cultivation progress, and even some highly specialized knowledge about Spirit Plant Farming.


    Chen Mobai answered each question; when it came to the farming questions, he carefully thought about his answers to avoid revealing cultivation techniques beyond the Tianhe Realm¡¯s knowledge of Spirit Plant cultivation. The answering process was quite difficult for him.


    Even so, after hearing it, Sun Gaochang was quite satisfied.


    Indeed, he was talented in the field of Spirit Plant cultivation, particularly in farming, exhibiting unique insights that even caught Sun Gaochang¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Hmm, if your talent can be fully utilized, it would be substantially beneficial to our sect. But since you¡¯ve only just joined, I can¡¯t give you too heavy a workload.¡±


    Sun Gaochang¡¯s tone was gentle, and then he led the three of them to a wall in the study where a detailed leather map hung.


    ¡°Nephew Chen, these are the seven acres of the Spirit Field you¡¯ve developed.¡±


    Sun Gaochang pointed to a brown triangle mark on the southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge map. Chen Mobai took a closer look and noticed this place was marked as ¡®Small Yang Ridge.¡¯


    ¡°Inspector, we are a bit further from Small Yang Ridge, right here.¡±


    Lu Jun immediately pointed to the three small red dots on the right side of Small Yang Ridge.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s there. That¡¯s perfect because there¡¯s a Rank-2 top-grade Spirit Vein in Small Yang Ridge, two acres of medicinal fields at the foot of the mountain, and scattered Spirit Fields covering more than ten acres nearby. How about we assign all of these to Nephew Chen to develop?¡±


    After taking a look at the map, Sun Gaochang immediately circled the brown triangle, including two small green dots nearby and a large number of scattered small red dots.


    Chen Mobai followed his fingers looking at the circled areas, not uttering a word.


    Such a large area, and furthermore, the Spirit Fields were not in the same location. If he were to farm it all by himself, he would have no time to cultivate every day.


    This was not what Lu Jun and Teng Jie had earlier mentioned.


    ¡°Does Nephew Chen have any objections?¡±


    However in the face of Sun Gaochang, the Foundation Establishment elder¡¯s decision, he could only nod in agreement.


    ¡°Inspector¡¯s arrangement is very good, I have no objections.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, Lu Jun, handle the paperwork for Small Yang Ridge for Nephew Chen. I recall that there¡¯s a sect disciple currently overseeing the two acres of medicinal fields there. Just tell them that the harvest yield was not satisfactory and replace him since the year is almost over.¡±


    Upon finishing his sentence, Sun Gaochang waved his hand to signal for the three of them to withdraw.

    Accompanied by Lu Jun, Chen Mobai returned to the main hall of the Spirit Plant Department. Before he could speak, Teng Jie preemptively apologized and explained.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Liu Guilong is under the Director and Brother Li Li is under the Deputy Director. Only under Inspector Sun, no True Disciple has yet emerged. If you work hard, who¡¯s to say the position couldn¡¯t be yours after Brother Li Li¡¯s?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth. He decided not to believe them again.


    In the end, he was still too naive, but since he had been tricked into joining the Spirit Plant Department, he could only put up with it for now.


    If it really impedes his cultivation, he could always give in and quit farming..

 Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Treasure Pavilion 1

    Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Treasure Pavilion 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    However, having obtained a Rank-2, top-grade Spirit Vein ward for cultivation was an unexpected gain.


    ¡°Brother Chen rarely visits Divine Wood City, let brother Teng show you around. I need to handle the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge as well as the nearby medicinal and spiritual fields,¡± said Lu Jun before promptly leaving.


    With Teng Jie¡¯s enthusiastic invitation and Chen Mobai¡¯s desire to visit the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, they exited the Spirit Plant Bureau Hall together. The Divine Wood Sect comprises three Halls and twelve Departments.


    The most prominent amongst these Halls is the Divine Wood Hall where the Sect Leader resides, followed by Penalty Evil Hall which is responsible for law enforcement, punishment, and warfare, and Reward Virtue Hall, which manages resource distribution within the Sect.


    The Spirit Treasure Pavilion serves as the mission hall for the Divine Wood Sect.


    While the assignment of jobs is officially the responsibility of the Divine Wood Hall, the rewards for these tasks, such as Spirit Stone contributions, are audited and granted by the Reward Virtue Hall.


    Under the guidance of Teng Jie, Chen Mobai set foot in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for the first time.


    He held up his identity nameplate in front of a large jade plate where a ray of light landed and instantly verified him, bringing up Chen Mobai¡¯s account information.


    He saw that he had 458 contribution points in the sect and a balance of 77 Spirit Stones.


    The Divine Wood Sect provides Spirit Stone welfare to its disciples every month, varying amounts depending on the cultivation realm.


    As Chen Mobai was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, he would be granted 7 lower-grade Spirit Stones per month.


    Unbeknownst to him, he had almost spent a year in the Divine Wood Sect. Previously, since he was preoccupied with farming and had enough Spirit Stones in his storage bag, he never visited the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to collect his share.


    Brother Chen, the Spirit Plant Department grants 100 Spirit Stones annually which is distributed by our department. It¡¯s the end of the year, you¡¯re quite lucky,¡± said Teng Jie.


    The Spirit Plant Department¡¯s welfare is a yearly benefit. Chen Mobai had just joined but the timing was just right.


    This was indeed good news.


    Chen Mobai withdrew the 77 Spirit Stones from his account and browsed through the variety of elixirs, Array Disks of Magical Instruments, and such, that he could exchange for contribution points in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    He saw the familiar Crimson Flame Sword Talisman and Dark Water, among others.


    The Foundation Building Pill was naturally listed at the top.


    ¡°Is the Foundation Building Pill listed here? Could it be that there are surplus pills?¡± Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help asking Teng Jie.


    ¡°Definitely not, no matter how many there are, as soon as it¡¯s listed, it will immediately be exchanged,¡± he said.


    ¡°It is listed there to offer all sect disciples a glimmer of hope. If your account has ten thousand contribution points, you can join the queue.¡±


    ¡°As for the order of exchange after queuing, it would depend on individual prowess.¡±


    After finishing, Teng Jie couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Both he and Lu Jun had passed the prime age of sixty, and neither of them had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. They had lost hope of building their foundation in this lifetime.


    Now, they were just hoping to accumulate some Spirit Stones in hope that among their disciples or descendants, there would be a talented individual with an exceptional Spiritual Root who could continue their immortal cultivation journey.


    Of the twenty-four true disciples in this generation, who would be willing to trade the Foundation Building Pill?¡± Chen Mobai asked, as his father had less than half a year left till he reached the age limit of sixty. When the time came, even if he hadn¡¯t achieved a complete ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he would definitely strive to build the foundation.


    As a son, Chen Mobai hoped that he could help his father acquire a Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°It would be simpler to kill them than to make them trade the Foundation Building Pill,¡± said Teng Jie a matter of factly, rendering Chen Mobai speechless.


    The cultivators in the Tianhe Realm placed the importance of the Foundation Building Pill far above their own lives.


    ¡°However, there¡¯s one person who is not a true disciple but possesses an extra Foundation Building Pill. If you have a good relationship, it¡¯s possible to make an inquiry. You might just be able to purchase it,¡± he added.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to give up, Teng Jie made a comment that brightened his eyes.


    ¡°Brother Teng, are you referring to¡­¡±


    ¡°That Sister Yin with the Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that Qi Rui had once told him about this, but she has already been designated by Elder Fu to be the successor. Although she is currently in the Qi Cultivating Realm, she practices in a rank-4 Spirit Vein, which ordinary people can¡¯t reach at all.


    Brother Teng, do you have any way to get in touch with her on my behalf?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary disciple of the Spirit Plant Department. How could I reach that prodigy? In our department, only Brother Liu who was a True Disciple might have had some relations with her.¡±


    Liu Guilong.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all, but speaking of the True Disciples, he did know two of them.


    ¡°Does Brother Teng know Yuan Chiye and Sister Ding Ying?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan is a True Disciple from the Formation Department, and Sister Ding Ying is a True Disciple from the Talisman Creation Department. Wait, do you know them?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide the fact that it was these two who had introduced him to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I see, if you want to find them, you can buy a Message Talisman here at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion using a Spirit Stone, ensuring it gets delivered to any disciple of the Divine Wood Sect at Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Teng Jie taught Chen Mobai how to communicate with fellow disciples within the sect. This was the first time he had heard of such talisman, which was similar to a pager in the world of immortals.


    Since he had enough Spirit Stones, he sent a Message Talisman to Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying, and also to Qi Rui, Wang Yuanwu, and Qi Hou, whom he had met on Green Light Island.


    However, two of them were returned almost immediately.


    This indicated that the Nameplates of these two people were not in Giant Tree Ridge.


    Upon checking, Chen Mobai found that these were from Yuan Chiye and Wang Yuanwu.


    ¡°Brother Yuan might have already gone to Yun Meng Ze to take control of the situation. As for Wang Yuanwu, he couldn¡¯t have¡­¡±


    The worst-case scenario was that he had died in battle. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to think about it any further.


    However, the good news came quickly after.


    Both Qi Rui and Qj Hou responded. They were both in the sect, but not in Divine Wood City.


    The last one was Ding Ying¡¯s reply, with only three simple words: ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai could only shake his head with a bitter smile.


    This senior sister had a forgetful nature, worthy of her status.


    Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a line of text on the back.


    ¡°Zone B, Spirit Talisman Street, N0.127 Courtyard! Come see me here.¡±


    It was an address. Chen Mobai thought it over and decided it would be good to pay a visit, so he asked Teng Jie about the location.


    Upon arrival, he sent a voice talisman inside.


    After a while, the main gate opened.


    A curvaceous woman in a red long dress with a stunning body walked out.


    She had almond eyes and peach cheeks, and her beautiful face stood at the doorway just as tall as Chen Mobai, giving a strong sense of oppression.


    You are Chen Guixian. I am sure I don¡¯t know you. Why did you contact me with a Message Talisman? Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s taboo?¡±

    Chen Mobai was stunned when the woman in front of him said she was Ding


    Ying. His mouth gaped open, flabbergasted.


    She was just a young girl around thirteen or fourteen when he met her in Southstream Market, so how did she suddenly mature?


    However, Chen Mobai quickly realized that this Ding Ying was not the same person he had met in Southstream Market.


    He vaguely guessed a possibility. Seeing the woman at the door growing more and more impatient, he didn¡¯t dare to hesitate any longer and quickly relayed the whole story..

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°You said, Yuan Chiye and I initiated you into the sect at the Southstream


    Market?¡±


    After hearing this, Ding Ying stood in silence, her expression altering from a daze to understanding.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ve got it now. Do not mention this matter anymore in the future.


    ¡°Yes, Senior Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in comprehension.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else going on, please refrain from seeking me out?¡±


    ¡°It seems so¡­¡±


    Seeing Ding Ying about to shut the door, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and with


    a touch of boldness, spoke his request for his father.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying you want to buy the Foundation Building Pill from Sister Yin?¡± After hearing this, Ding Ying displayed a peculiar expression. She scrutinized Chen Mobai from tip to toe and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a mocking smile.


    ¡°Junior Brother, sometimes you must recognize your place. Some things are beyond your grasp.¡±


    After saying this, she shut the door.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly as he took in the sight of the courtyard before finally turning to leave.


    He stayed in Divine Wood City for two more days, waiting for Lu Jun to complete the transfer procedure for Small Yang Ridge. Also, Qi Rui had sent word that he wanted to meet him here.


    Qi Hou and Chen Mobai were not close, and with the addition of his own Foundation Building Pill, he couldn¡¯t spare the time as he was honing his spiritual power.


    However, he sent Brother Xi over to communicate with Chen Mobai.


    That night at an agreed-upon tavern, Chen Mobai reunited with the long-absent Qi Rui and Brother Xi.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, I knew with your talent, entering the Divine Wood Sect would be a breeze.¡±


    Qi Rui and Chen Mobai shared a bond forged through life and death. A man of hearty temperament, Qi Rui greeted Chen with a big hug upon spotting him.


    ¡°My name is Xi Jinghuo.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s name was quite interesting. After introducing himself, he quietly took his assigned seat.


    ¡°Where is Brother Wang?¡±


    ¡°Alas, during the demonic beast invasion, he and a dozen other brothers volunteered to stay behind and guard the Teleportation Array, allowing us to escape. He lost his life on Green Light Island.¡±


    The joy from reuniting dimmed as Qi Rui recounted this, his expression turned somber.


    ¡°When we have the chance, let¡¯s go to Green Light Island to pay homage.¡± Chen Mobai could only sigh, before asking about the status of the other squad members.


    ¡°During the demonic beast invasion, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin got separated from the group, and Brother Wu died alongside Brother Wang¡­¡±


    Qi Rui spoke of what he knew, and Chen Mobai could only pray that Shi Pengyi and Sister Luo Lin survived. However, considering the circumstances on Green Light Island, their prospects seemed bleak.


    ¡°Right, I advanced to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Finally, Chen Mobai heard some good news. After the life-and-death battle on Green Light Island, Qi Rui had finally reached the last step of Qi Cultivation:


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo, who¡¯d been silently listening, couldn¡¯t help but congratulate Qi Rui. ¡°I hope to rank within the first hundred in the year-end grand competition, and strive to become a true disciple within five years. But I should also start working towards getting the 10,000 Good Deed Points needed to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Qi Rui had devised a steady progression plan for himself.


    The Divine Wood Sect held a grand competition annually. Only cultivators at the Qi Cultivation stage and under sixty years of age could enter. This was their method of picking future stars for the sect and determining who would become the true disciples.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t planned to participate. It was a waste of time.


    Moreover, he was aware of his prowess in magical duels. In Yuan Realm, he was known as ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, but in Tianhe Realm, without sufficient talismans or Magic Artifacts, he was basically a pushover.


    His Good Deed Points from the Immortal Path were almost depleted, so the talismans in his storage bag were mostly remnants and assignments from his days at the Dance Instrument Dao Academy.


    Every talisman used was one less, he couldn¡¯t afford to be wasteful. Although participating in the grand competition of the sect could improve his magical combat skills, Chen Mobai felt it better not to subject himself to the humiliation. He would wait until he reached the final stage of Qi Cultivation before honing himself.


    There was a saying from Qing Ping that Chen Mobai would always remember. ¡°As long as your realm significantly surpasses your opponent¡¯s, you will never lose.¡±


    The topic of the Foundation Building Pill had come up, so Chen Mobai naturally mentioned the one in the hands of Tianhe.


    ¡°If you want to purchase the Foundation Building Pill from Sister Yin, I¡¯m afraid it might be too late.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai bring this up, Xi Jinghuo couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    ¡°Those of you who don¡¯t rub shoulders with the circle of true disciples may not know this, but we¡¯re clear about it. The Foundation Building Pill that Elder Fu bestowed upon Tianhe was meant to be passed from her hands to his own blood relative.¡±


    Being a relative of a Foundation Establishment elder, and also a member of the second generation of immortals within the Divine Wood Sect, Xi Jinghuo knew some secrets that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui did not.


    Among the last batch of true disciples, there was one named Fu Xingzhou who was Elder Fu¡¯s direct descendant.


    Even though he had Elder Fu¡¯s backing and had exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill, he still failed at Foundation Establishment.


    However, Fu Xingzhou was fortunate to have powerful backing and a bountiful arsenal of Magic Artifacts. Despite failing to build his foundation, he didn¡¯t lose his place among the true disciples. Originally, he was waiting for the next batch of Foundation Building Pills to be refined so he could exchange for one using another batch of Good Deed Points.


    Unfortunately, the Spirit Messenger of the previous generation luckily snatched Tianhe. As a result, Elder Fu instantly used this as an excuse to give the Foundation Building Pill, which should¡¯ve been exchanged by the next true disciple in line, to Tianhe.


    ¡°Five years ago, Fu Xingzhou successfully built his foundation. On the surface, it was said that Elder Fu bought one Foundation Building Pill from Tongbao Merchant Guild, but we know that Tianhe transferred the one in her possession to him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Qi Rui and Chen Mobai fell silent. Chen Mobai frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this unfair to the disciple who was originally supposed to receive the Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    ¡°Fairness? In the Divine Wood Sect, Elder Fu going to the lengths of using Tianhe as an excuse to take this Foundation Building Pill was already his way of maintaining fairness.¡±


    After hearing this, Xi Jinghuo issued a statement that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    ¡°Only by becoming a true disciple can the Foundation Building Pill be guaranteed.¡±


    After a long while, Qi Rui spoke. His typically determined face seemed even more resolute, making it clear that he had set his mind on battling hard in the sect competition.


    ¡°It seems that in the short term, there¡¯s no way to buy the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai could not help but sigh in resignation. He made up his mind to buy a portion of Spirit Ascension Powder for his father, to complete the Foundation Establishment trio, and to be the best filial son he could be.


    ¡°There might be a chance.¡±


    At that moment, Xi Jinghuo suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Even though the Divine Wood Sect suffered a great defeat at the Battle of Green Light Island, some spoils were still retrieved.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and Qi Rui looked at each other, their eyes brightening simultaneously.


    A Foundation Building Pill concocted from the inner core of Demonic Beasts!


    ¡°Has Elder Rong already refined it?¡±


    ¡ö¡öI wouldn¡¯t know about that. If you have connections with the Herbal Department, you can enquire about whether any auxiliary medicine used for refining the Foundation Building Pill has been taken from the medicinal fields recently. From this, you might be able to infer how far along the Foundation Building Pill has been refined..¡±

    Chapter 197: Chapter 197 End of Term_l

    After the three parted ways, Chen Mobai returned to the Spirit Plant Department.


    Lu Jun had finished the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge just in time. Starting next year, Chen Mobai had two acres of medicine fields and sixteen acres of spirit fields under his name.


    In addition to the three acres claimed this year and seven acres he had opened up, he now owned a total of twenty-six acres of spirit fields, making him a small landowner.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, feel free to make any requests. If you need the Azure Light Formation, you can get a few more sets,¡± Lu Jun said generously.


    Sun Gaochang, as the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, had to handle all spirit stones and various materials. And Lu Jun, being his subordinate, had good control over these resources.


    Chen Mobai directly received five sets of Azure Light Formation and a bag of Dew Grass seeds.


    This Dew Grass is a Rank-1 intermediate category spiritual medicine, a supplementary ingredient for making many elixirs. It is also required in large quantities in the Foundation Building Pill.


    The excess medicine fields in Giant Tree Ridge were all used to grow this spirit grass.


    Normally, he should have received rice seeds as well, but Chen Mobai knew the average quality of the rice seeds in the Spirit Plant Department. He decided to use the Yubud Lingmi produced in his seven-acre spirit field as seeds.


    If it weren¡¯t for fear of exposure, he would have liked to use the rice seeds from the Celestial Sect.


    However, the minimum yield per acre for the Daoist Academy experimental fields is three hundred catties, which is a bit too advanced for the Tianhe Realm.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai also inquired about Elder Zeng from the Alchemy Department making the Foundation Building Pill.


    It was not a secret; many people were keeping an eye on this matter.


    Lu Jun directly told him that the auxiliary medicines were indeed being prepared, but since Elder Zeng was currently refining a furnace of ¡°White Jade Spirit Ginseng Pills¡±, he might not start making the Foundation Building Pill until after the New Year, or even later.


    As for when exactly it would be made, they, the lower-level disciples, could only wait.


    Hearing this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh.


    He had done all he could at this point.


    That night, he left Divine Wood City and returned to the vicinity of Small Yang Ridge, where his ten-acre spirit field was located.


    Time passed quickly.


    At the gate of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing hired a car to the train station.


    ¡°See you next year.¡±


    The three of them had to part ways at the train station because they came from different blessed lands of the Celestial Sect.


    After boarding the train, Chen Mobai sat alone in first class, reading an ancient manuscript on boundary laws: the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret.


    His first year at Dance Tool Dao Academy was fulfilling.


    The main courses ¡°Puppetry¡± and its related ¡°Spirit Artifact Automation¡±, as well as ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± all ended with high scores, maintaining his persona as a hands-on genius.


    However, every silver lining has a cloud. His other major course, ¡°Talisman¡±, could not withstand the final exam.


    The task was to draw a Rank-1 high-grade spirit talisman similar in difficulty to the Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman. Chen Mobai failed all three attempts due to inadequate learning and flunked the course.


    Fortunately, the elective ¡°Talisman Ink Extraction¡± saved him. He used the Cinnabarite Spirit Sand he got from Shen Juanxiu to blend an almost Rank-2 talisman ink because of the good materials, earning him a high score.


    The Calligraphy teacher was kind-hearted; as long as you signed up, didn¡¯t skip classes, and submitted ten pieces of calligraphy as a final project, everyone could pass.


    At the end of the semester, Chen Mobai completed 11 credits, narrowly passing all his courses.


    It was also at the end of the term that Chen Mobai learned that school credits could be used to exchange for many elixirs and magic talismans that were not available on the market.


    For example, the Foundation Building Triad can be exchanged with 5 school credits by students in the Daoist Academy.


    Another example is Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, a Spirit Water that can nourish and expand the meridians, increasing the success rate of foundation establishment, which is valued at 15 school credits.


    Usually, students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy save their credits for use after successfully establishing their foundation.


    Those who cultivate with the ¡°Union of Differences¡± use them to exchange for top-ranked spiritual treasures compatible with their spiritual roots.


    Even those who do not use the ¡°Union of Differences¡± can also exchange for Rank-2 spiritual objects they need.


    For example, those in the Talisman Line would exchange for Rank-2 talisman paper and ink to breakthrough; those in the Puppet Line exchange for precious parts to make higher-grade dolls; those from the Refining Implement Department exchange for the materials they need; credits can also be used to apply for opportunities to use the Soulful Mirror or other top-ranked magic artifacts, and so on.


    However, to prevent profiteering, the Daoist Academy has regulations stating that exchanges can only be made at the end of the academic year, and each person¡¯s credits can only be used by themselves and cannot be traded.


    Chen Mobai was not particularly concerned about saving his credits.


    He used his credits immediately, exchanging for a batch of Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid.


    The Spirit Ascension Powder was intended for his father, while the Solidifying Qi Liquid was to be sold to Shen Juanxiu.


    Before he made the exchange, he first called this wealthy senior sister, who had acquired Vein Protection Pills this year. Adding the Spirit Ascension Powder that Chen Mobai had obtained previously, she only needed a batch of Solidifying Qi Liquid to complete the Foundation Building Triad.


    Chen Mobai was short on money and Shen Juanxiu needed the exchange, so they quickly came to an agreement over the phone.


    Once back in Red Sandstone City, he took care of this significant deal.


    Since he had notified in advance, Shen Juanxiu was prepared this time with enough Good Deed Points. For each type of the Foundation Building Triad, the Celestial School market price is 800,000 Good Deed Points, but due to high demand, the price tends to be 20% higher.


    Shen Juanxiu directly gave Chen Mobai 1 million Good Deed Points, not only because they have a good relationship, but also because she intends to maintain this connection.


    After all, the last person from Red Sandstone City to enter Dance Tool Dao Academy is now the real person in the red robe.


    Chen Mobai did not refuse, but as he was late in returning, Luan Jingsheng, who he knew from Cinnabarite Institute, had already left the school to go home, so they couldn¡¯t catch up.


    He also brought a basket of Spiritual Fruits to visit the real person in the red robe, but the latter was in seclusion, so they could not meet.


    Not long after returning home, Chen Mobai realized that he probably shouldn¡¯t have come back.


    He had underestimated the impact of being a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Looking at even more reporters outside his window than when he was accepted into the academy, Chen Mobai sighed.


    He had wanted to invite his high school classmates for a meal, but under the circumstances, he decided not to trouble them.


    So, after two days in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai decided to lay low in Green Mountain Village for a while.


    Of course, before leaving, Chen Mobai made a detour to Red Dawn Institution to give the Spirit Ascension Powder he had exchanged from the Daoist Academy to Chen Xinglan.


    The father and son were naturally overjoyed to see each other.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you too, but I didn¡¯t expect such a pleasant surprise.¡±


    Upon receiving the Spirit Ascension Powder, Chen Xinglan felt a deep sense of emotion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had decided that after seeing his wife and son, he would immediately go into closed-door cultivation.


    The family reunion did not last long. To prevent Chen Xinglan¡¯s emotions from fluctuating drastically, Chen Mobai and Tang Panchui quickly took their leave.


    After arriving at Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai contacted people like Lu Hongsheng, Song Zheng, and Yan Bingxuan to catch up.


    Initially, the high school group had planned to have a meal together, but he could only apologize due to the circumstances.


    At night, Chen Mobai made a call to the last person he hadn¡¯t yet contacted, Qing Nu..

 Chapter 198 - Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Divine Manipulation Technique,

    Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Divine Manipulation Technique,


    Soul Awakening Dao Pill l


    Translator: 549690339


    Qing Nu, however, did not return. She was at the Jumang Daoist Academy with her mentor, involved in the development of a Rank-3 Spiritual Water pond and could not leave.


    At first, Chen Mobai thought that he and she would have nothing to discuss, but as they were chatting, he noticed that it had unexpectedly become late.


    From discussing their cultivation levels to their schoolwork, they eventually spoke of their own circumstances.


    Chen Mobai boasted over the phone about his talent in puppetry and agricultural studies, and talked about how his progress in runes was lagging due to lack of energy.


    He also mentioned how after taking the Fire Clearing Pill she had crafted, his Divine Sense had greatly improved and his Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique had reached completion. Feeling grateful for this, he thanked Qing Nu over the phone.


    In the end, Chen Mobai even admitted that he had tried to comprehend a certain technique, but had gained nothing from it.


    ¡°That technique, huh! It¡¯s indeed a bit difficult to cultivate.¡±


    Qing Nu echoed him on the other side of the call, but Chen Mobai knew she was just trying to comfort him, knowing well that among the four Great Dao Academies, almost 80 to 90% of the students have mastered this technique.


    With Qing Nu¡¯s Blue Female Celestial Spirit talent, even if she didn¡¯t master the technique, it would be effortless for her to establish a foundation.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s so late. You should go to sleep, we can continue the chat when we¡¯re free.¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was past 3 in the morning.


    ¡°By the way, I have a small gift for you, remember to check it.¡±


    Qing Nu suddenly said this sentence before hanging up the call.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about it then, but after waiting a few days without receiving anything,


    He remembered that he had not told Qing Nu that he was in Green Mountain Village; she may have sent it to his home in Danxia City.


    Just as Chen Mobai planned to call Qing Nu that night, he received a call from a strange number.


    ¡°Where are you?¡±


    The voice on the phone was somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a while, Chen Mobai realized who it was.


    ¡°Kong Feichen?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. My sister asked me to bring a package for you, I¡¯m downstairs at your house.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that Kong Feichen had gone to the Imperial Medical Academy, which was located in the same place as the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    He didn¡¯t expect Kong Feichen to come back when Qing Nu had not.


    He wondered if Yang Jing had returned.


    ¡°I¡¯m not home, I¡¯m farming in the countryside.¡±


    ¡°I need to give you this thing personally or I won¡¯t be at ease. Send me your location.¡±


    Kong Feichen didn¡¯t seem very happy, and Chen Mobai felt bad about him having to drive all the way from Danxia City to his current place.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you wait for me at the Red Dawn Institution, I¡¯ll come to you.¡±


    In the end, the two agreed on a place to meet.


    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled, wondering why the object required face-to-face delivery. Couldn¡¯t it just be sent by mail?


    ¡°Here.¡±


    At the entrance of the Red Dawn Institution, Kong Feichen handed a well-packaged box to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Can I open it now?¡±


    ¡°Whatever.¡±


    Kong Feichen rolled his eyes. Chen Mobai felt he was a bit upset, but he couldn¡¯t help his excitement as he unraveled the small gift from Qing Nu.


    Inside, he found a book and a bottle of medicine.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the book and saw that it had no title. Opening it, there was content inside. He skimmed through it, and it seemed to be a cultivation technique for improving Divine Sense.


    ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique, Soul Awakening Dao Pill!¡±


    Kong Feichen mentioned two terms which Chen Mobai had never heard of before.


    ¡°The package has arrived at your hands, I have to go, so I will take my leave now.¡±


    ¡°Since we have met after a long time, how about I treat you to a meal?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit guilty, after all, for this package, Kong Feichen had to come back from the Linwu Cave and travel from Danxia City to the Red Dawn Institution, surely it was quite troublesome.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    Kong Feichen rejected the offer and left immediately.


    After returning to Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai first checked out the Cultivation Technique ¡°Divine Manipulation¡± in the National Library of the Immortal Gate, learning about its origins.


    It indeed was a cultivation technique that improves Divine Sense, and seemed to have been specially selected for him.


    Not only could it stabilize his rapidly increased Divine Sense, but it could also seamlessly connect with the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.


    If mastered, it is said to bring about an out-of-body state of Divine Sense, even before the establishment of the foundation.


    This technique was available on the National Library, but only Rank-3 users could download it.


    Chen Mobai did not know where Qing Nu got it from, but since she could hand it over to him, there must be no restrictions of Dao Heart pledge, it may be issued by the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Still a bit anxious, he checked it again on the auxiliary cultivation app.


    Then, he found the problem.


    The title of a post read ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique: An improved version of the Devour God Technique, it has been experimented and proven to increase the successful rate of foundation establishment, should it be promoted widely?¡±


    This was an improved version of a forbidden technique.


    Chen Mobai thought of Qing Nu¡¯s teacher and thought of Lan Haitian.


    However, after he was accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Lan Haitian seemed to have completely forgotten about assigning Chen Mobai the task of observing Qing Nu.


    Although the Divine Manipulation Technique suits him quite well, knowing it might involve a forbidden technique made Chen Mobai uncertain whether he should cultivate it.


    In the end, he decided to put it aside and wait until the next semester when he returns to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to ask Che Yucheng about it.


    He then picked up the bottle of pills, which contained only one pill.


    Kong Feichen had said it was the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill.¡±


    Chen Mobai searched for it online, and although the information was limited, he still found out about its origins.


    It turned out to be a Rank-2 Spirit Pill that can stimulate a lucid state of mind for a day after consumption.


    In this state, the efficiency of practicing techniques or learning knowledge could be significantly enhanced. Even the most obtuse person would have deep understanding and clarity.


    Just like having a spiritual awakening or attaining enlightenment.


    Therefore it is called the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill.¡±


    This spirit pill was exclusive to the Jumang Daoist Academy and could only be exchanged using academic points. One pill cost 15 academic points, making it as precious as the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°The gift you sent me is too precious.¡±


    After understanding the origins of the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill,¡± Chen Mobai felt guilty. He called Qing Nu to see if he could return it.


    ¡°Once exchanged, this thing can¡¯t be returned. If you don¡¯t want it, then I¡¯ll have to give it to my younger brother.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s younger brother? Kong Feichen?


    Then I might as well keep it for myself.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t refuse any further.


    But at that moment, he finally understood why Kong Feichen was a bit upset with him.


    ¡°How about I also send you a small gift?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Eventually, Chen Mobai still felt that the gift from Qing Nu was too precious and felt obliged to respond with a gift of his own.


    ¡°Sure, my dorm address in school is¡­¡±


    Qing Nu cheerfully gave him her dormitory number. They chatted a bit more before Chen Mobai reluctantly hung up the phone.


    He took out all the items he had in his storage bag, figuring out which one was suitable for a girl and should also be of reasonable value.


    In the end, he chose the pair of white jade bells..

 Chapter 199 - Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Thorough Realization !

    Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Thorough Realization !


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai had a number of items in his possession, but the only ones suitable for a woman were a white jade bell and a blue scarf handkerchief.


    However, compared to the gifts that Qing Nu had given him, the blue scarf handkerchief seemed a bit too insignificant.


    After selecting the gifts, Chen Mobai wrapped them up and and was ready to return to Red Sandstone City to send them off.


    Then Cling Nu suddenly sent over a message.


    Kong Feichen was planning to return to the forest cave dwelling ahead of schedule, and he could help to deliver the gifts.


    Although it was a bit embarrassing, it wouldn¡¯t do to trouble multiple people for one task.


    Chen Mobai made another trip to Taixu Mountain, arriving at Red Dawn Institution to hand over the white jade bell to the increasingly impatient Kong Feichen. Kong Feichen didn¡¯t even greet him or thank him but left right away after receiving the bell.


    ¡°Thank you,¡±


    Chen Mobai could only shout at Kong Feichen¡¯s departing back, who didn¡¯t pause for even a single step.


    After returning the gift, Chen Mobai wanted to immediately consume the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, but unfortunately, it just so happened to coincide with the maturity of the Jade Bud Spirit Rice in his seven-acre Spirit Field. He could only postpone it for two more days.


    Using his grandfather¡¯s handheld wheat-harvesting machine, he spent half a day harvesting all the Spirit Rice from his seven-acre field, and then meticulously selected the rice seeds for next year¡¯s cultivation and stored them away.


    As for the rest, he was planning to use it all to brew liquor.


    The brewing yeast has already been prepared, and it was his grandfather¡¯s secret recipe.


    Every family in Green Mountain Village had been farming for generations and brewing liquor, with each family having a unique yeast recipe. However, the yeast of Tang family, the village head¡¯s family, was recognized as the best of them all.


    Once he had chosen a spacious area to lay out the rice for drying, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t wait to return to the Land Yuan Star.


    He was about to consume the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    To keep people from disturbing this critical stage in his cultivation, he notified his grandparents and mother that he needed to go into isolation for a while. Strangely enough, they were even more anxious than Chen Mobai was and assured him they wouldn¡¯t even allow a mosquito to enter his room.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to choose a special place and simply swallowed the pill on an empty stomach with warm water¡ªas instructed by Qing Nu¡ªright in his own room.


    The effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill were truly extraordinary.


    As soon as he consumed it, an inexplicable cleansing stream emerged into his conscious sea, washing over his entire body in the most mysterious organ: the brain. It was as if a gate to the Purple Palace had been opened, triggering an explosion of inspiration, a leap of thought, and an unprecedented lively activity in his Divine Sense.


    He didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately picked up the book on the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits that he had borrowed from the Dao Academy Library.


    The first thing he read, naturally, was the original text of the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits.


    The formerly obscure and hard to decipher text was now revealing its hidden secrets behind the veil of mystery.


    After understanding the essence of the text, Chen Mobai was like a man starved for knowledge and quickly read through the entire book.


    After finishing the book, he closed his eyes to recall the words and understanding of the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits, all of which were clear as a mental imprint.


    Taking a deep breath, he sat cross-legged on his bed.


    Chen Mobai felt he was ready to engage in successful Cultivation, but since his Realm was not yet high enough to attempt Foundation Establishment, he didn¡¯t know whether his understanding was correct or not.


    However, he could try it with the Two Forces Technique.


    Under the influence of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts were remarkably active.


    He closed his eyes and recollect his memory of the Two Forces Technique, which he had embedded in his mind. The archaic text, that he previously only partially understood, was now translated by his brain into the simplest and most easily understood language, which he fully comprehended.


    He then recalled the Immortal Longevity Technique and the Qi Cultivating Chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    The two Qi Cultivation Techniques, which he thought he had thoroughly understood before, had deeper layers of understanding in this state.


    He found that although he had previously used the practicing human puppet to deduce the most suitable route for his Spiritual Root constitution, he didn¡¯t understand why he had to change it like that.


    He had just been passively using the results of the practice human puppet¡¯s deduction.


    But now, Chen Mobai had completely understood it all.


    So that¡¯s how it is.


    Chen Mobai had a moment of realization. The vortex of Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power in his Qi Sea, which he had originally thought would take half a year to completely transform, dissolved in a split second, transforming into strands of extremely pure spiritual power that integrated into the green spirit force of the Longevity Cultivation Technique.


    Qj Cultivating Eight!


    Although this realm breakthrough was early, it happened naturally as if water was flowing into a canal.


    At the same time, he could clearly see every single detail of his two Qi cultivation techniques at this realm before foundation establishment.


    The same happened with the Dual Phase Cultivation Technique as well.


    This secret technique from the Five Elements Sect had been thoroughly understood by him word by word and sentence by sentence.


    In his Qi Sea, the green spirit force of the Longevity Cultivation resided where the vortex of the Five Elements Cultivation used to be, with the flame of the Pure Yang spiritual power enclosed at its center, similar to the picture Che Yucheng had


    demonstrated with the Identityless Puppet.


    The Wood Fire spiritual powers were clearly distinguished but formed a clear connection under the control of Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense.


    With a movement of his divine sense, the Dual Phase Cultivation Technique operated.


    Suddenly, a streak of the Longevity Spiritual Power¡¯s green vortex infused into the Pure Yang flame.


    In a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll realm, which he had intentionally stopped cultivating before, also broke through to Qi Cultivating Six.


    The Dual Phase Cultivation Technique was also accomplished!


    Feeling the decline in his the Longevity Cultivation Technique¡¯s realm due to the birth of the Pure Yang spiritual power, Chen Mobai immediately took a dose of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    He didn¡¯t waste any time afterward and immediately began to disconnect the connection between the two, using his latest understanding of the Limit Technique.


    However, he found that his theoretical understanding and practical application were somewhat different.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t panic. Being in the state of ¡°Soul Awakening and Dao Enlightenment,¡± he was unprecedentedly calm.


    After recalling all the details, he thought he¡¯d found the reason for the errors.


    The Limit Technique was created for foundation establishment after all. If he wanted to disconnect the Dual Phase Technique, he needed to make some corresponding modifications, just like when he used the performing puppet to adapt the Longevity Cultivation Technique to himself.


    Che Yucheng must have known this, but he didn¡¯t anticipate that Chen Mobai would master the Dual Phase Technique and the Limit Technique within a year, so he didn¡¯t mention it in advance.


    Chen Mobai began to recall everything he had read about the Limit Technique in the Dao Academy Library.


    Soon, he thought of the borrowed ¡°Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡± book.


    An hour passed, and Chen Mobai showed a look of thorough comprehension on his face.


    He took a sigh, and opened his eyes with a vacant look.


    The left eye was shining with green light, and the right eye was golden.


    He had also accomplished the original framework of the Limit Technique, ¡°Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡±.


    He had disconnected the Longevity Cultivation Technique and the Pure Yang Scroll that were originally linked.


    Looking out the window, it was already completely dark outside.


    The clock on the wall showed that it was 434 am.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had taken the Soul Awakening Dao Pill at 12:00 noon, and unbeknownst to him, half a day had already passed.


    There were still seven hours left before the medicine took effect, so he couldn¡¯t waste it.


    Having achieved his goal in advance, Chen Mobai took out the Divine Manipulation Technique which he had prepared and set aside.


    Next to the Divine Manipulation Technique, there was a thick stack of textbooks from the first to the tenth grade of the Dance Tool Dao Academy talisman and inscription course.


    A total of thirty books, from rank-1 to rank-3 knowledge of talismans and inscriptions, were all included..

 Chapter 200 - Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Return to Daoist Academy 1

    Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Return to Daoist Academy 1


    Translator: 549S909RQ               J¡ª


    At twelve o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Chen Mobai, looking utterly fatigued, put down his third-grade talisman textbook.


    Then his vision blurred, nearly passing out.


    He had never realized studying could be such a painful task.


    If it weren¡¯t for not wanting to waste the medicinal power of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he would never have forced himself to study for an entire day and night.


    After a full twenty-four hours of high-intensity brain activity, Chen Mobai felt entirely drained.


    His brain felt empty, his body powerless, and even the spiritual energy circulation in his Dantian Qi Sea started to slightly lag.


    Chen Mobai immediately stamped himself with a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±.


    After quite a while, his physical fatigue finally recovered.


    However, the emptiness of his sea of knowledge made Chen Mobai hallucinate, causing him to see mirages.


    Since he had told his grandparents that he would be in seclusion for several days, sensing that something was wrong with himself, Chen Mobai no longer held back and directly went to bed, falling into a deep sleep.


    He slept like the end of the world, waking up to see it was still dark outside.


    He picked up his phone and checked the date.


    Turned out, he had slept for a full seven days and seven nights.


    Chen Mobai massaged his still bulging temples, got up from the bed and couldn¡¯t help but phone Qing Nu.


    The effect of this ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill¡± was just too good.


    In comparison to his gains, the minor after-effects of this seven-day sleep were practically non-existent.


    However, Qing Nu carefully asked about Chen Mobai¡¯s experience taking the pill, and when she found out he had slept for seven days, she quickly hung up to consult her mentor.


    Only after confirming this was normal did she finally relax.


    However, through this consultation, she realized that each student could only exchange for one of these pills, and after taking it, they couldn¡¯t take another for ten years.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t care about the first half of this rule because she didn¡¯t need the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill¡±.


    But as for the second half, she quickly warned Chen Mobai not to take a second one within ten years.


    Chen Mobai felt a bit regretful after hearing this.


    Though the emptiness and fatigue after the state of Soul Awakening made him uncomfortable, the feeling of comprehending everything was simply superb.


    Deep down, he was considering whether he should take several more to develop himself into an all-round cultivator.


    Under the effect of this pill, Chen Mobai had not only fully grasped all the knowledge regarding rank-i talismans, but he even understood some about the rank-2 ones.


    If he was now asked to draw a Red Flame Three Sword Talisman, he felt that as long as he experimented a few times, he would be successful.


    ¡°For the next half a year, you¡¯d better not use up your Divine Sense too much.¡±


    Qing Nu advised, and because it was time for her to guard the medicinal pool, she had to hang up.


    ¡°Alright, did you receive the thing?¡±


    ¡°I did ¨C a beautiful bell. I really like it.¡±


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡±


    ¡°If only¡­¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s final words went unsaid as she herself hung up.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about it. His brain was still foggy from the after-effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, barely awake, he lay down and fell asleep again.


    When he awoke from this sleep, he finally felt energized.


    After stepping out from seclusion, he demonstrated his Qi Cultivation level of rank eight in front of his grandparents and Tang Panchui, indicating a tremendous success of his seclusion.


    The three family members were, of course, extremely happy. Grandma even killed an old hen, and Grandpa brought out a jar of aged yellow wine that he had buried five years ago.


    As for Tang Panchui, she could not help but show off in the village, telling everyone about their son¡¯s achievements.


    Auntie, you wouldn¡¯t believe my son¡­¡±


    By the time Chen Mobai and his grandfather were enjoying a small drink, news of him breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation at the age of twenty had already spread throughout Green Mountain Village.


    Soon, Chen Mobai found it difficult to stay in Green Mountain Village any longer.


    This was because many neighbors were bringing their children along with fine wines and rice, hoping that Chen Mobai would take their children as disciples.


    He himself was only in the Qi Cultivating Realm, he didn¡¯t dare to mislead others.


    But the villagers were too enthusiastic. Even after he refused, they still brought their children to him every day, making Chen Mobai feel like he had returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Hence, Chen Mobai told his grandparents. While keeping his mom back to divert attention, he immediately bought a ticket back to Crimson City Grotto.


    One night, without letting his grandfather drive him, he drew two Godspeed Talismans and left Green Mountain Village directly.


    In this way, he stayed at home for less than half a month before returning to the Daoist Academy.


    As soon as he returned, Chen Mobai found that Ming Yuhua had returned even earlier than him.


    About half of their class had already returned.


    At the school gate, several people from the Metaphysical Class got together for a meal, and they discussed their homecoming experiences, which were all very similar.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why most of the students at Dance Tool Dao Academy chose to stay in Crimson Mountain during the holidays.


    The reason was not that they were hardworking, but because it was quiet here.


    ¡°Old Chen, this wine tastes good.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was drinking the yellow wine that Chen Mobai¡¯s grandfather had given him before he left.


    Although this jar had only been aged for two years, due to the excellent yeast used and the quality of Water Clear Rice, the wine was very satisfying to drink, even though it wasn¡¯t fully aged.


    The wine was clear and transparent, with a rich aroma and sweet, delightful flavor. Plus, it didn¡¯t make you drunk instantly. After a while, a robust flavor spread in the stomach, making one slightly tipsy.


    However, this yellow wine had quite a punch, but the next day you would feel extremely refreshed and comfortable.


    It felt as if all the muscles and bones had been activated and the blood was flowing smoothly.


    The efficiency of refining Spirit Qi even increased by one percent.


    This yellow wine, if sold in Tianhe Realm, would cost at least five spirit stones a jar.


    Chen Mobai had tried Qi Rui¡¯s Jade Bud Spirit Wine, which cost one spirit stone for a small jar. It was not as good as his own.


    He thought that once he achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, he could consider farming, brewing wine, and selling it to earn spirit stones.


    Of course, first, he needed to improve his brewing skills.


    Even though he had his grandfather¡¯s yeast, he was not using Water Clear Rice, but Yubud Lingmi rice from Giant Tree Ridge, so the taste of the wine might be different.


    However, Chen Mobai believed that with the abundant Spirit Qi in Giant Tree Ridge, even if his skills were a bit lacking, the brewed wine would still not be too bad.


    ¡°By the way, Old Wang, aren¡¯t you from the Alchemy Department? Do you have any extra Qi-replenishing Spiritual Water that you can sell to me?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai asked a young man named Wang Xingyu in the Metaphysical Class.


    ¡°As much as you want, it¡¯s simple to make.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, after drinking Chen Mobai¡¯s wine, was flushed and confidently guaranteed.


    The Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that Qing Nu had made for Chen Mobai before going to Jumang Daoist Academy was all used up. Now she was following a good mentor and had many opportunities to improve her Alchemy, so she didn¡¯t need to rely on selling Spirit Water.


    Of course, even if Qing Nu agreed, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to disturb her time anymore..

 Chapter 201 - Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Wine Brewing_l

    Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Wine Brewing_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Wang Xingyu was proven by the No-Form puppet simulation to be a novice who was unsuitable for Cultivating Participating Together.


    However, he was a man of strong resolve and relying not only on his talents managed to enter the preliminary stage of Cultivating Participating Together, but also following Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s example, transformed a Rank-3 magic artifact handed down in his family into his own object of participation.


    The artifact was a copper bowl, capable of containing all the waters of the world.


    Furthermore, it could be used as a medicine pool to refine Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, which was doubly efficient.


    But according to the result of the No-Form puppet simulation, the best object of participation for Wang Xingyu should be the Flying Sword Tool. However, this was his own choice, as a Rank-3 magic artifact was more tantalizing compared to a Rank-2 flying sword which he could have obtained.


    Chen Mobai who had just secured a million Good Deed Points from Shen Juanxiu, had plenty of funds on hand so he approached Wang Xingyu and reserved a hundred bottles of high-grade Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    If it weren¡¯t for the product¡¯s expiration date, he would have been tempted to purchase an entire year¡¯s supply.


    ¡°Chen, don¡¯t embarrass yourself in the makeup exam.¡±


    Upon parting, Ming Yuhua teased Chen Mobai.


    Of the entire Metaphysical Class, only Chen Mobai failed one subject, making him the butt of the joke for the entire vacation.


    ¡°I was careless last year and did not revise, but this year, I devoted myself to studying the textbooks on talismans at home. I can assure you there will be no problems.¡±


    Chen Mobai was brimming with confidence as he spoke.


    ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s good, but if you still fail the makeup exam, you¡¯ll probably be the laughing stock of the seniors for a whole year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua laughed heartily as he patted Chen Mobai on the shoulder, after which they all parted at the school gate.


    Like Chen Mobai, two others had rented separate cave dwellings outside the school.


    After returning to the little wooden hut he had been away from for a long time, Chen Mobai made a trip to the Tianhe Realm.


    After checking on the grain he had dried, and verifying that it hadn¡¯t been poached by birds and insects, he returned, well satisfied.


    In two more days when the drying was just right, he could remove the husk.


    He had already bought the tool needed for husk removal, a versatile version valued at 2000 Good Deed Points.


    The Daoist Academy had this tool too and with his standing with Lin Wenkang, borrowing it would have been easy.


    However, he considered that he might establish his future in the Tianhe Realm and decided it would be better to own one.


    Apart from the husk removal tool, he had also bought various tools for brewing wine.


    After placing an order for the necessary items, Chen Mobai began to focus on his studies.


    In university, those who fail a subject have one chance to retake the exam at the beginning of the next semester. Having failed the Talisman course, Chen Mobai had become a laughing stock and his title of ¡°The Sleeper¡± was barely holding up.


    He had planned to diligently revise the Talisman course during the vacation, even without the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    Now, though he had thoroughly understood all textbook knowledge from the first and second grades, and had learnt parts of the third grade¡¯s content, he feared the examiner might set a tricky question on a talisman that was not in the textbooks.


    As he was revising, he experienced how much his classmates cared about him.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu, both Talisman course toppers, after learning that he had returned, actually took the initiative to bring him their notes and even offered him tutoring.


    This moved Chen Mobai and he opened another jar of wine he had brought from Green Mountain Village and had a good drink with them.


    ¡°Class Leader Si, Member Zhuang, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely pass the makeup exam.¡±


    ¡°I had a deep realisation during the vacation that I took the Talisman classes too lightly. This year, I will definitely buckle down and work hard. I won¡¯t be dragging the class behind anymore.¡±


    Hearing the sincere words from Chen Mobai, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu remained skeptical.


    It¡¯s because they had also begun to question Chen Mobai¡¯s actual abilities.


    ¡°Alright, if you have this motivation then we have nothing to worry about. There are still five others who failed, we also need to check on them.¡±


    After emptying their bottles, Si Guanyu did not forget his duties as the class leader.


    The questions from last year were quite difficult. Apart from three who had pulled strings and failed, including Chen Mobai, two others also faced the same predicament and had to retake the tests.


    Since a lot of people in their class had failed, Chen Mobai¡¯s failure wasn¡¯t as conspicuous. Otherwise, his reputation as ¡°The Sleeper¡± would have been exposed long ago.


    The failing students were all from their class, so Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan said they would show concern to all who needed it, before they took their leave.


    As Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy in advance, with half a month left until the makeup exam, when studying, he first dehusked the Spirit Rice crop he had planted on the Giant Tree Ridge and brewed wine from it.


    In the meantime, under the leadership of Lu Jun from the Spirit Plant Department, he took charge of the Spirit Vein at Small Yang Ridge.


    Last year, the fellow disciple who had cultivated the medicine field here, after Lu Jing had settled the contribution points for the two acres of Dew Grass, took a hint from Lu Jing¡¯s implied dissatisfaction with the lack of yield and tactfully packed his tools and left.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the surroundings within twenty miles is now your territory.¡±


    Lu Jun, who had played the bad guy, cheerfully handed over the former cultivator¡¯s Mountain Formation to Chen Mobai on the spot.


    This was a Rank-2 Formation. In combination with the Spirit Vein of the Small Yang Ridge, it could hold back attacks from a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a while.


    ¡°Thank you Elder Brother Lu. This jar of spirit wine is brewed by me before I joined the sect. You can take it back and give it a try.¡±


    The wine that Chen Mobai gave as a gift was naturally from Green Mountain Village.


    All the wine his grandfather brewed, as long as it was for sale, bore the signature of its maker. He cleared it completely, benefiting from having two storage bags.


    After buying his family¡¯s wine, he also picked some good ones from other families in the village and bought them. A hundred jars in total, they filled the storage bag.


    The wine given to Lu Jun was naturally one of the good ones.


    Like the one he had drunk with Ming Yuhua a few days ago, it was a two-year-old yellow wine.


    This was the best Chen Mobai could buy. The others with more years of age, the villagers kept for themselves or for when guests came to visit.


    The ones they sold were newly brewed in the most recent two years.


    ¡°Alright, thank you, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    Lu Jun thought Chen Mobai was just being polite and cheerfully left with the jar of wine.


    After two days, Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo, who had received a message, also came to Small Yang Ridge.


    Upon meeting, Chen Mobai was naturally generous.


    He directly opened five jars of good wine and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.


    ¡°Good wine, Junior Brother Chen is really generous.¡±


    Qi Rui was a wine lover. As soon as the jar was opened, he knew from the aroma that this wine was special. It was not at all in the same league as what he usually drank.

    ¡°You¡¯re about to participate in the sect¡¯s grand competition. This meal is to wish you success. I hope you can make it into the top 24 and be promoted to the true teachings.¡±


    There¡¯s a grand competition in the Divine Wood Sect every year, and all Qi Cultivation disciples below sixty years of age can participate.


    Qi Rui was already at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and as part of the Talisman Production Department¡¯s structure, naturally he wouldn¡¯t give up the chance to become a student of the true teachings in view of the batch of Foundation building pills ten years later.


    Xi Jinghuo also signed up to participate for self-improvement.


    Only Chen Mobai felt that his level was not enough and didn¡¯t want to waste talismans and time, and directly chose to give up..

 Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Awakening of the Sleeperi

    Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Awakening of the Sleeperi


    Translator: 549690339 1


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take your word for it.¡±


    Qi Rui cheerfully gulped down more than half a jug of wine.


    ¡°By the way, Qi Brother, is there a platform for betting on the Sect¡¯s Grand Competition within the sect?¡±


    Qi Rui, halfway through his drink, choked on Chen Mobai¡¯s question. Both he and Xi Jinghuo widened their eyes, looking at the latter.


    ¡°What are you planning?¡±


    ¡°Just asking.¡±


    From their reaction, it was clear there wasn¡¯t such a place. Chen Mobai was a little disappointed.


    After this round of drinks, the three marveled at Small Yang Ridge. Even for a true disciple, the sect only assigned Rank-2 high-grade Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings.


    The fact that Chen Mobai was assigned such a spiritual land just by joining the Spirit Plant Division showed how much emphasis was put on him.


    The Sect¡¯s Grand Competition was coming soon.


    Despite being at the 9th level of Qi cultivation, Qi Rui had newly advanced. His sword techniques and talismans were not as good as the other seasoned cultivators at the peak of Qi Cultivation. Though he fought hard and made it into the top fifty, he still fell before reaching the True Disciples.


    As for Xi Jinghuo, he didn¡¯t even make it into the top three hundred.


    Having carefully observed the Sect¡¯s Grand Competition, Chen Mobai was in awe of the duel techniques of the Tianhe Realm cultivators. If he participated, even among those in the same realm, he would probably rank at the bottom. ¡¯ Once the new year had passed, it was time for the Daoist Academy to start school.


    There was one thing left to do before the term: the resit exam.


    Chen Mobai relaxed as soon as he saw the exam questions.


    The question setter seemed to have shown mercy, simply asking them to draw a Rank-1 high-grade ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talisman¡±.


    This was a talisman that had been emphasized in the first-grade textbook.


    Chen Mobai picked up his Green Bamboo Pen, spread out the Rank-i talisman paper provided in the examination hall, and closed his eyes to recall the details. After about three minutes, he drew the talisman in one go with his pen confidently immersed in ink.


    After drawing, he injected spiritual power into the talisman to confirm that it could be activated.


    To avoid any mishaps, he took another two pieces of Rank-1 talisman paper and drew two more ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talismans,¡± all of which were successful.


    Teacher, can I hand in my paper now?¡±


    The invigilator, who had just sat down, checked his watch¡ªit had only been ten minutes.


    In universities, especially the top four Daoist academies, handing in papers early was normal.


    After all, some geniuses are just too extraordinary to waste their precious time. The two invigilators came over to Chen Mobai, checked the three ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talismans¡± he had drawn, and found that their quality was just as good as the ones they could draw.


    They checked the student¡¯s information in the top left corner.


    So, he was that Chen Mobai!


    These two teachers also taught talisman-related elective courses. They naturally heard of this name and initially thought it was just a rumor. But now it seemed that he really was a genius.


    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no problem. You¡¯ve passed the resit exam.¡±


    Since the number of people was small, the talisman course resit exam was graded on the spot. After the two invigilators agreed unanimously, Chen Mobai completed the resit exam with full marks.


    His academic points increased by three points.


    However, these three points could only be used to exchange for spiritual objects at the end of this semester.


    The other students in the exam room were surprised at Chen Mobai. Of the five students from their grade who failed, and those from higher grades who had been failing until now, all of them felt the gap in talent when they saw the handsome young man leaving casually.


    They all studied during the holiday break, so why did he become so impressive?


    Could this be the ¡¯¡¯Sleeper¡± after awakening?


    After seeing the resit exam results, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan felt a bit of pressure.


    Perhaps it¡¯s just that the predicted test question was spot on.¡±


    Seeing the slightly nervous Zhuang Jialan, Siguanyu couldn¡¯t help trying to comfort her.


    Then, as the results of the first monthly test for this term¡¯s Rune class came out, he too started to feel uneasy.


    The top scorer in the Gathering Dust rune test is Chen Mobai.¡±


    The teacher of their Rune class was Xu Xiu. He handed the perfect score Gathering Dust rune to Chen Mobai with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.


    Very good. Last year I assessed your level accurately. Choosing that specific question to fail you was indeed the correct move. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have studied so hard this term.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was in high spirits after scoring first, was taken aback by Xu Xiu¡¯s words, staring at his teacher in disbelief.


    How could a teacher behave like this!


    However, Xu Xiu, believing in his high teaching skills, gave a wave of his hand, signaling Chen Mobai to leave.


    ¡°Second place, Siguanyu.¡±


    ¡°Third place, Zhuang Jialan.¡±


    The class president and the student committee member still had close scores, but they were no longer alternating first and second places and even throughout the entire term, they never achieved the top score again.


    Under the provocative teaching methods of Xu Xiu, Chen Mobai, under the watchful eyes of all his classmates, took the first place in all six-month exams in the first half of the year.


    In fact, he could have continued to top the list until the final exam, leading with twelve straight wins.


    But something happened at home, forcing him to take leave and return home.


    Upon reaching sixty years old, Chen Xinglan had no choice but to mobilize his spiritual power and start Foundation Establishment.


    The Alchemy department of the Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t yet come out to refine Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai even made a quick trip back to the Water Mansion and brought back the Array Plate inlaid with a high-grade Spirit Stone, intending to exchange it once a Foundation Building Pill became available, but things didn¡¯t go as planned.


    In the end, he still couldn¡¯t wait.


    After reaching the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, Chen Mobai used the


    Foundation Establishment treasure to help his father predict the success rate of the Foundation Establishment, which was just 14.5%.


    The reality proved that this prediction was accurate.


    Chen Xinglan failed in his Foundation Establishment.


    However, the good news was that Chen Xinglan did not risk everything to try.


    After the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process, he felt that his ability to Condense Qi into Liquid was already difficult. He thought of his family and decisively chose to give up the transformation.


    At the cost of harming himself, he stopped the Foundation Establishment process.


    When the door of the Cave Dwelling opened from inside, Chen Mobai saw his father looking weak but still alive and well, without serious damage to his Elemental Energy.


    ¡°Alright, stop crying. There are many ups and downs in life, but having Mobai as my son is enough to make me satisfied.¡±


    After Chen Xinglan came out, seeing Tang Panchui crying uncontrollably, he couldn¡¯t help but console her gently.


    ¡°Older brother, I¡¯m glad you¡¯re okay.¡±


    Aside from Chen Mobai¡¯s family, second Aunt Chen Yulan and Chen Baolan, his younger uncle, also came.


    After gathering for two days at their home in Red Sandstone City, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui went to Green Mountain Village.


    He hadn¡¯t visited his in-laws in two years because of the Foundation Establishment process.

    ¡¯¡¯Son, once I¡¯m healed in Green Mountain Village, I¡¯ll take your mom on a trip around various Immortal Sects. You focus on studying hard at Dance Tool Dao Academy and don¡¯t worry about us.¡±


    Seeing his father being so open-minded, all Chen Mobai could do was nod.


    But seeing his father¡¯s stooping figure as he left, he resolved in his heart that he had to succeed in establishing his Foundation.


    When he returned to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai began to study even more diligently.


    For the remaining Rune class monthly exams and the final exam, he ended the second grade with all top scores..

 Chapter 203 - Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Another Year’s Harvest_l

    Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Another Year¡¯s Harvest_l


    Translator: 549690339


    By the second year, the caliber of new students in Chen Mobai¡¯s batch had become pretty clear.


    Although they were prodigies produced by the 36 celestial caves and 72 blessed lands of the Immortal Sect, there was a hierarchy among them as well.


    Most people initially thought that Chen Mobai, a student from a minor blessed land who only made it into one of the four major Daoist Academies by barely meeting the score cut-off due to the expanded enrolment, would be the bottom of the barrel. Unexpectantly, however, he managed to make quite an impressive reputation for himself among this group of geniuses.


    Aside from the calligraphy and talisman course in the second semester, Chen Mobai also ranked first in all the other Puppetry Agriculture Studies courses.


    As a result, his moniker ¡®the awakened sleeper¡¯ started to echo amongst his batch and even came to the knowledge of the seniors and faculty members.


    Besides Chen Mobai, other students also outshone the crowd by displaying their extraordinary talent and brilliance.


    For instance, Ming Yuhua, who ranked first in artifact refining, Yunyang Bing, the top-ranked formation master, Wang Xingyu, the top alchemist, Lu Zixuan, the leading beast tamer, and Zhai Jianbai, who held the first place in sword training, etc¡­


    Chen Mobai was also included among these, being collectively referred to as one of the ¡°Top Ten Dancers¡± of their Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s class of 5012. To this, Chen Mobai only responded with a dismissive laugh.


    These were mere reputations. Only reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could be considered a real achievement.


    Even combining all the reputations of the ¡°Top Ten Dancers¡±, it wouldn¡¯t amount to a fraction of Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s formidable standing. Once you mentioned you are a classmate of Zhongli Tianyu within the Immortal Sect, most people would look at you in awe.


    It was in this year that Zhongli Tianyu had another breakthrough, reaching the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    In his hands, ¡°The Union of Differences¡± was radiating luminosity it had never before, leading some to speculate that he might approach the threshold of Core Formation before hitting sixty.


    Some of the seniors and older students who were cultivating in seclusion in the back mountain of Crimson City could not help but come out to witness this prodigy from the Daoist Academy, potentially the most outstanding Real Path Seed in hundreds of years.


    While everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to Zhongli Tianyu entering the back mountains, Chen Mobai quietly picked up his end-term report card and left the Daoist Academy.


    He did not return to Red Sandstone City.


    Since his parents were out traveling, although he longed to catch up with close friends like Lu Hongsheng, after not seeing them for two years, Chen Mobai could feel their figures gradually fading from his memory.


    He made a call to Qing Nu who he was still in touch with and finding out he would not be returning to Red Sandstone City that year, she felt relieved.


    She was busy preparing for the Rank-2 Alchemist certification exam and had to self-study at least a dozen related books during the holidays. After learning that Chen Mobai would not return, she had no reason to return to Red Sandstone City and could focus on studying.


    ¡°Wishing you all the best and success in your examination.¡±


    Chen Mobai ended the call with Qing Nu smiling, but inwardly, he was amazed at how fast the Heavenly Spiritual Root progressed.


    He knew that thanks to the effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he had managed to pass the Rank-1 Talisman Maker exam in one go this year. However, to pass the Rank-2 exam, he would probably need to study for several more years, or probably even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, before he could confidently pass.


    In contrast to the strict examinations of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, the Tianhe Realm was widely regarded as being lenient and having almost no threshold.


    As long as you could refine any Rank-2 talisman, you could call yourself a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    According to these standards, Chen Mobai was already a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, he had suffered a lot and did not reveal this fact.


    That year, Chen Mobai primarily focused his energies and attention on his studies at the Daoist Academy. However, thanks to the effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he saved a lot of study time and did not slack off at the Divine Wood Sect.


    He cultivated the two acres of medicinal fields and twenty-six Spirit Fields under his name excellently.


    After all, contribution points from the sect are needed to exchange for Foundation Building Pills in the future. The contribution from these fields is tenfold the rewards of regular missions. While Chen Mobai has enough resources and time, he also puts this matter in mind.


    It is naturally impossible for one person to take care of so many Spirit Fields alone, but Chen Mobai has not forgotten that he is part of the Spirit Plant Division.


    He launched a mission through the Spirit Plant Division to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to recruit three people to care for the Spirit Fields. Their Cultivation Level was irrelevant; all they needed was to have cultivated Spiritual Power to activate the Azure Light Formation and ward off birds and animals.


    After all, the main tasks of plowing, sowing, fertilizing, rainfall, bug removal, and harvesting will all be completed by him.


    He offered a compensation of 15 Spirit Stones for this task, which is considered low. Nevertheless, two Rank-2 Qi Cultivation and one Rank-3 Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect took it up.


    Chen Mobai himself took care of the two acres of medicine field and two acres of spirit field at Small Yang Ridge. The remaining twenty-four acres of spirit fields are just distributed in three places, with one disciple taking care of each. He was not selfish either. When it came to sowing, transplanting seedlings, and even during rainfall and insecticide, he always held the attitude of guiding them and generously demonstrated it in front of the three Divine Wood Sect disciples.


    However, he kept the key piece of information about the fertilizer, which was brought from the immortal gate, a secret from them.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, another year of good harvest.¡±


    With the guidance of Chen Mobai, Lu Jun and Teng Jie have harvested all the two acres of the medicinal field and nineteen acres of the spirit field under the name of the Spirit Plant Division. Due to the large yield, both of them were busy for three full days before they finished the task.


    ¡°Both Senior Brothers have worked hard. Come, have a drink before you leave.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Teng, this is the Spirit Wine that Inspector Sun couldn¡¯t stop praising after he drank it last time. We are in for a treat.¡±


    The jar of wine that Lu Jun took from Chen Mobai last time, after tasting it, he was ecstatic and immediately forwarded it to his superior, Sun Gaochang. The latter was also a wine lover; after drinking, he directly sought Chen Mobai to buy all his stock.


    But Chen Mobai was also aware that scarcity adds value. He only took out ten jars of wine and was not thinking about Spirit Stones, but directly gave it to this inspector of the Spirit Plant Division.


    However, Sun Gaochang was particularly serious. After taking the wine, he directly gave one intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    ¡°We from Reward Virtue Hall value clean accounts the most. If this account is not cleared at the beginning, it will become increasingly difficult to clear in the future. If it turns into a debt of gratitude, it might even cost lives, so I must give this Spirit Stone.¡±


    After he said this, Sun Gaochang took away the ten jars of wine and left.


    It is through this that Chen Mobai feels that Sun Gaochang, this Foundation Establishment Elder who looks like a smiling tiger, is a good backing to seek.


    In the Tianhe realm, Spirit Wine is not developed at all.


    The Green Mountain Yeast from Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown can brew Rank-2 Spirit Wine at the most.


    When used on Jade Bud Lingmi in the Divine Wood Sect, due to its abundant spiritual energy, although the variety is unexceptional, the brewed Spirit Wine barely diminishes in comparison to Green Mountain Wine.


    The one Lu Jun and his companion were drinking was the Jade Bud Spirit Wine he brewed at the beginning of the year.

    After the two had finished drinking, they opened another jar of Green Mountain Wine. After comparison, they found that each had its own flavor.


    Jade Bud Spirit Wine is strong, Green Mountain Yellow Wine is mellow.


    After the reception, the three of them settled the yield of Lingmi, and there were 3,000 more contribution points in Chen Mobai¡¯s account.


    Among them, there are 2650 points for Jade Bud Spirit Rice and 350 points for the two acres of Dew Grass.


    Comparatively, indeed, the harvest from planting Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine is more. No wonder even with tenfold contribution from farming in the Divine Wood Sect, everyone is still flocking to the medicine fields, and almost no one cares about the Spirit Fields..

 Chapter 204 - Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Qi Cultivation Level 9 1

    Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Qi Cultivation Level 9 1

    ¡°Teacher Luo, I want to exchange for a ¡®Qi-Breaking Pill¡¯.¡±


    In the treasure house office of building one on Crimson Mountain, Chen Mobai handed over his student card to the squinty-eyed, short, and fat teacher in front of him.


    ¡°It¡¯s three credits per pill, do you want to exchange for anything else? You only get one chance per semester.¡±


    At the end of the term, students can exchange their credits for items from the treasure house of Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Last year, Chen Mobai exchanged for two items from the three treasures of Foundation Establishment. This year, since he doesn¡¯t lack Good Deed Points and Chen Xinglan failed in her Foundation Establishment, he only intended to exchange for the ¡°Qi-Breaking Pill¡± that he had set his sights on long ago. ¡°That¡¯s it, thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    After swiping his student card, Chen Mobai took a medicine pill wrapped in foil that looked rather shabby.


    After leaving Building one, he headed directly to Building nine.


    This is a cave dwelling specially set up by the Dance Tool Daoist Academy for students to cultivate.


    Chen Mobai reluctantly paid for a room with a lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein. The door of one of the cave dwellings instantly opened, and he immediately went in.


    Sitting cross-legged on a dull-looking cushion, he took a deep breath as he felt the surrounding unprecedented rich spiritual energy washing over him. However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately took out his modelling puppet from his storage bag.


    After inserting a Spirit Stone, he skillfully entered various conditions. Then he pressed the start button to begin the simulation of his breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    After confirming for the second time that there were no issues, he put away the puppet and opened the packaging of the Qi-Breaking Pill.


    This pill is the best breakthrough pill for the Qi Cultivation stage. After taking it, there is an 80 to 90 percent chance of breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, and a 50 percent chance of breaking through to the ninth level.


    Thanks to Wang Xingyu¡¯s unlimited supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai finally reached the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Cultivation a few days ago.


    Most people at this point would certainly polish for a while, preferably to break through naturally.


    In technical terms, this means laying a solid foundation, which ensures a better chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment in the future.


    However, Chen Mobai strongly believes in Qing Ping¡¯s words- once you reach a bottleneck, you should try every means to break through as soon as possible.


    A solid foundation and profound realm are just comforting words for those who can¡¯t break through.


    The bottleneck is the weakest at the beginning. Once it drags on, it will become more and more solid and harder to break.


    Qing Ping is a great master of the Nascent Soul realm, his words couldn¡¯t be false.


    Therefore, as soon as Chen Mobai perceived that he had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, he immediately looked for a method to breakthrough, and the simplest one was naturally medication.


    Conveniently, the Treasure House of Dance Tool Daoist Academy had a Qi-Breaking Pill¡±, so he directly exchanged it with his own credits.


    After running the Longevity Invocation for one cycle and confirming that he was in peak state, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately swallowed the Qi-Breaking Pill in his hand.


    Three days later.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.


    He had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    The result from the puppet model was correct. Due to the medicinal effect of the Qi-Breaking Pill and his already peak Divine Sense within Qi Cultivation he was able to easily control the suddenly increasing spiritual power after the ¡¯ breakthrough and smoothly refine the thick Rank-3 Spirit Energy in the cultivation room.


    After three days of circulating, Chen Mobai confirmed that his breakthrough realm wouldn¡¯t drop anymore before he finally stopped.


    So this is the ninth level of Qi Cultivation?


    Feeling the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, which was one time stronger than before and almost took up all the space in his Dantian, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but stand up.


    He injected his Spiritual Power into the Casting Sword Ring, and in an instant nine flashes of Sword Light flashed out, incredibly sharp.


    This is the maximum power of this Casting Sword Ring. In the past, Chen Mobai needed to gather spiritual power for ten minutes to launch nine swords at the same time, but now he could do it in one go.


    Although the change in the amount of spiritual power between the eighth level and the ninth level of Qi Cultivation is only double, in actual combat, the fighting capacity can be increased by three to four times.


    If it were those true disciples at the peak of Rank-9 Qi Cultivation, the gap would be even greater, akin to the difference between clouds and mud when compared to those at Rank-8 Qi Cultivation.


    Overjoyed after his experiment, Chen Mobai sat down again and began to ponder his next plan.


    After reaching the peak of Rank-9 Qi Cultivation, one can already attempt Foundation Establishment.


    But definitely, with Rank-9 Qi Cultivation reaching perfection, the chances of success are greater.


    The next main goal is to exchange for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Building Pill.


    Chen Mobai recalculated his contribution points.


    After two years of farming, especially the hard work of this year, he now has 3458 sect contribution points in his Divine Wood Sect account.


    If he continues with the scale of his Spirit Field this year, by the fourth year, he would be able to gather the ten thousand sect contribution points needed to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Even though it is gathered, I would still need to wait eight years for the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom to mature.¡±


    After laughing self-mockingly, Chen Mobai was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something.


    Doesn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect have a Foundation Building Pill that uses a demonic beast¡¯s inner core as its main ingredient?


    After Chen Xinglan¡¯s attempt at Foundation Establishment failed, Chen Mobai had stopped paying attention to this matter.


    IS it not known whether Elder Zeng of the Alchemy Department has started to refine it?


    If he has indeed done so, should Chen Mobai exchange it?


    Chen Mobai pondered for a while, and then immediately had an answer in his mind.


    Exchange it!


    This is the Foundation Building Pill!


    Although it is different from the orthodox Foundation Building Pill refined using the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, and its effectiveness might be only 80%, the pill¡¯s toxicity is definitely beyond the limits compared to the Immortal Sect¡¯s, but, anyway, it is a genuine Foundation Building Pill.


    It could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by up to 30% Even if the effectiveness is not sufficient, at the very least, it could increase the probability by 24%.


    The best spiritual plant for Foundation Establishment in the four grand Daoist Academies of the Immortal Sects can only increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%.


    Having confirmed this belief, Chen Mobai began thinking about the feasibility of exchanging for this batch of Foundation Building Pill.


    Firstly, he needs to confirm if Elder Zeng from the Alchemy Department has started the refinements?


    This is Simple. As a disciple of the Spirit Plant Department, and someone who had begun to be recognised as one of Sun Gaochang¡¯s men in the past year he wouldn¡¯t even need to check it himself. He could find out by simply asking Lu


    The Foundation Building Pill is a lower-grade Rank-3 elixir, and the least time required for refining it is half a year.


    If it is already being refined, it could be ready by next year.


    Although Chen Mobai has a fair amount of sect contribution points now, he is still far from ten thousand.


    The most urgent task is to earn sect contribution points as quickly as possible. However, if push comes to shove, he could also find someone to borrow from.


    But he doesn¡¯t know many people in the Divine Wood Sect, even if Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, Lu Jun, and others are willing to lend, they probably can only lend a few hundred at most.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among them, Qi Rui himself was also competing for the position of a true disciple. He might even have to borrow from Chen Mobai in turn.


    As for others, the only person Chen Mobai could think of was Sun Gaochang As he considers himself one of Sun Gaochang¡¯s men now, if the Foundation Establishment elder of Reward Virtue Hall was willing to lend, it is estimated that even borrowing ten thousands directly would be possible.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that he might not yet carry such a huge weight before him.


    First, he must become a true disciple!


    Chen Mobai was full of thoughts, his expression, however, was calm..

 Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Out of the Mountain 1

    Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Out of the Mountain 1


    Translator: 549690339                   ¡ª


    To become a true disciple, one must participate in this year¡¯s Sect Grand Competition.


    Chen Mobai had been a spectator last year, but he still felt it necessary to consult those with experience.


    Junior Brother, you¡¯re finally leaving the mountain.¡±


    On top of Small Yang Ridge, Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo broke into laughter upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    With your cultivation level, you will certainly shock everyone when you step out.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo sipped some spiritual wine and expressed confidence in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Although I have a good cultivation realm, my dueling experience and techniques are far from yours. Being in the top hundred in this Sect Grand Competition would already be a great achievement.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re being much too modest.¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words could only invite a bitter smile from Chen Mobai.


    For some reason, both men were very confident in him, believing that as long as he participated, even if he couldn¡¯t become a true disciple, entering the top hundred would be as easy as reaching out.


    But Chen Mobai himself estimated that with his duelling skills, being able to enter the top hundred would already be a great accomplishment.


    Last year, a total of 1600 Qi Cultivation disciples participated in the Sect Grand Competition. As he had been watching all along, he made detailed notes on some notable individuals.


    Of these, there were 176 at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Among the twenty-four true disciples of the previous session, eight bitter cultivators had obtained Foundation Building Pills and no longer participated. With their hearts set on seclusion, they honed their energy, prepared to grasp the opportunity for transformation, and breakthrough at any time with a Foundation Building Pill.


    Among the remaining sixteen true disciples, E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and Hong He, the three top disciples, had all successfully built their foundations and, under the arrangement of the sect, led their own teams to the Yun Meng Ze to establish a Fang Market.


    Six individuals, including Liu Guilong from the Spirit Plant Department, had failed the foundation establishment. Aiming to vie for the position of true disciple to get a second Foundation Building Pill, Liu Guilong fell short, with no support from the Spirit Plant Department and his injuries not yet healed. He was defeated by a dark horse when they had narrowed down to the top hundred.


    Besides Liu Guilong, three others also lost the position of true disciple.


    Seven individuals including Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying, although having received Foundation Building Pills, did not plan to give up their positions as true disciples due to their Incomplete Dual Cultivation Technique.


    Nevertheless, last year¡¯s Sect Grand Competition had put the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s twenty-four true disciples through a significant reshuffling.


    Fourteen new people ascended to the position of true disciple, becoming the influential figures of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Yuan Chiye, a friend of Chen Mobai, advanced even further, securing the third place among the true disciples, replacing the previous E Yun.


    I hope my luck in drawing lots will be as good as it was last year.¡±


    Qi Rui expressed his hopes as he drank.


    Last year, he did not encounter any strong opponents along the way and made it to the top forty-eight. Unfortunately, in the final round for the top twenty-four true disciples, he was thoroughly defeated by the current sixth disciple.


    Chen Mobai then asked about what matters to pay attention to during the Sect Grand Competition, and both Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo gave detailed answers. However, all details boiled down to one thing ¨C strength.


    If one is strong enough, the position of a true disciple won¡¯t be out of reach.


    The next day, Chen Mobai made another trip to Divine Wood City, bringing two jars of freshly brewed Jade Bud Spiritual Wine as a gift for Inspector Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Hmm, I know. Go find Lu Jun.¡±


    Upon learning that Chen Mobai intended to participate in the Sect Grand Competition and had the idea to compete for the position of true disciple, Sun Gaochang nodded slightly. After accepting the two jars of wine, he uttered only one sentence, allowing Chen Mobai to leave.


    A confused Chen Mobai exited and found Lu Jun, who shook his head slightly after hearing the news.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it seems Inspector Sun doesn¡¯t think highly of you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, why¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you should have reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t think about competing for the position of true disciple.¡±


    ¡°Elder Brother, your eyes truly see all.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not deny this.


    Then you should also know that there¡¯s a huge gap between the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and the true disciples. Li Li, who cultivates the Rain Sword Technique, along with the support of a Rank-2 Flying Sword from our Spirit Plant Department, just barely made it into the top twenty-four.¡±


    Lu Jun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai understand why Li Li suddenly possessed a Rank-2 Spring Rain Sword last year. It was the Spirit Plant Department, aiming for its own prestige, that had provided support.


    ¡°Our Spirit Plant Department members usually get a magic artifact from the backend when participating in the Sect Grand Competition. Those we need to ensure become true disciples, like Elder Brother Li, are given Rank-2 artifacts.¡±


    ¡°But that requires the consent of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators. If I were to go talk to them, at most I could borrow a Rank-1 high-grade magic artifact for you.¡±


    ¡°But don¡¯t be disheartened, Junior Brother. First, go and experience the atmosphere of the Sect Grand Competition. Once you improve your rank in a few years and have hopes of entering the ranks of true disciples, Inspector Sun will certainly arrange a suitable Rank-2 magic artifact for you.¡±


    As Sun Gaochang¡¯s confidant, Lu Jun going to the Spirit Plant Department¡¯s backend was already considerable coverage for Chen Mobai¡¯s two jars of wine. Consequently, Chen Mobai chose a Rank-i high-grade Green Wood Sword.


    The Elixir of Longevity¡¯s development direction is extremely vast, allowing one to advance in both spell and sword techniques.


    Since Chen Mobai intended to use the Red Flame Sword Charm to veil Pure Yang Scroll, it was time to practice Sword Control Technique now that his realm couldn¡¯t advance any further.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai presented Lu Jun with a jar of Jade Bud Spiritual Wine as a thank you gift, which the latter accepted without reservation.


    He enquired once again about the start of the Foundation Building Pill formulation.


    As before, he advised them to always leave some spirit grass prepared to concoct a batch of Foundation Building Pills.


    This implied that formulation hadn¡¯t begun yet but they were considering it.


    It was estimated to be within a year or two.


    Participating in the Sect Grand Competition for the first time reminded Chen Mobai of when he participated in the enrollment trial in Red Sandstone City. Fortunately, compared to his previous easy and calm demeanor, this time he was a little nervous.


    Fortunately, those arranging the lineup for the Divine Wood Sect did not jumble it haphazardly, and the first few rounds separated those at Qi Cultivation¡¯s ninth level.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents in the first two rounds were all cannon fodder below the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, and even with his poor duelling skills, he easily defeated them with the sheer gap in spiritual power.


    In the third and fourth rounds, however, his opponents were in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nonetheless, under Chen Mobai¡¯s ninth level of Qi Cultivation and the Rank-1 high-grade Flying Sword from the Spirit Plant Department, none of them could withstand even one blow.


    Through these four rounds, Chen Mobai finally understood the pleasure of outclassing someone in terms of cultivation realm, as Master Qing Ping once said.


    It was only in the fifth round that he finally met a decent opponent, an array maker at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    However, the opponent seemed not to have obtained the magic artifact resources from their array maker department. Relying on the green wood sword and his superb understanding equivalent to a Rank-2 Talisman Maker of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai spotted the fatal flaw in his opponent¡¯s formation and narrowly defeated them.


    After this round, Chen Mobai advanced to the top forty-eight..

    Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Jade Marrow Pill_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Are you sure you want to apply for your Foundation Establishment treasures?¡± In Building One of Crimson Mountain, it was still the same teacher Luo who, frowning, looked at the handsome young man in front of him.


    If he remembered correctly, this individual was just a third-year student, already intending to attempt Foundation Establishment?


    Although most freshmen of the Dance Tool Dao Academy were at the peak of Qi


    Cultivation when they entered, the majority of students would only try


    Foundation Establishment after their sixth year.


    Though it wasn¡¯t unheard of for a third-year student to try it, Chen Mobai was the first in his grade.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher Luo, I feel that I¡¯ve reached a bottleneck, and it¡¯s time to take the


    next step.¡±


    ¡°Have you mastered the Borderline Technique?


    ¡°Mmtn, I was lucky enough to comprehend it.


    Hearing this, Luo Hezheng showed a look of approval.


    This child really was a genius, possibly becoming the first in their grade beyond Zhongli Tianyu, to successfully establish their foundation.


    Knowing that the student before him had mastered the Borderline Technique, Luo Hezheng no longer delved into it, directly giving him a full set of three Foundation Establishment Treasures-benefits every student of the Daoist Academy is entitled to.


    ¡°Teacher Luo, I also want to exchange my credits for two portions of Profound


    Fire Spirit Liquid.¡±


    ¡°Two portions?¡±


    Luo Hezheng confirmed once again, showing no surprise that Chen Mobai wanted to exchange for two portions. After Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, Luo Hezheng swiped his student ID, then fetched two fist-sized bottles of dark red spiritual liquid.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    After receiving his three Foundation Establishment treasures and two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Chen Mobai returned to his rented cabin outside and made a phone call to Qing Nu.


    ¡°How much longer will your brother take to arrive?


    ¡°Probably two days; I just gave him the Jade Marrow Pill yesterday.¡±


    ¡°I really can¡¯t thank you enough, wasting your precious credits.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m willing to help. Besides, didn¡¯t you trade the Profound Fire Spirit


    Liquid with me? It¡¯s an equal exchange.¡±


    Though she said this, Chen Mobai knew that as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Qing


    Nu didn¡¯t need these items for Foundation Establishment.


    After hanging up, Chen Mobai was pondering how to repay Qing Nu¡¯s kindness in the future.


    ¡°Jade Marrow Pill¡± is a spirit supplement from Jumang Daoist Academy that assists with Foundation Establishment. Like the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%.


    Taking this pill can help a cultivator to complete the marrow washing process. The ¡°jade Marrow Pill¡± alone isn¡¯t much, but if taken in conjunction with the ¡°Profound Fire Spirit Liquid¡±, the first step of Foundation Establishment, Changing Tendons and Washing the Marrow, can be 100% successful.


    Chen Mobai had heard from Wang Xingyu of the Alchemy Department that ¨C most of the elder school brothers and sisters usually contact Jumang Dao Academy to trade their academy¡¯s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for their ¡°Jade


    Marrow Pill¡±.


    As it pertained to Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had no choice but to thicken his face and mention the matter to Qing Nu. After hearing about it, she agreed without hesitation.


    Originally, Qing Nu planned to give the pill to Chen Mobai as a gift, but he couldn¡¯t accept it without offering something in return. He insisted on giving her the equivalent amount of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid.


    Considering his feelings, Qing Nu hesitated but then agreed.


    Although she didn¡¯t need the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, she could give it to her younger siblings.


    Kong Feichen had also reached Qi Cultivation Perfection this year and was prepared to attempt Foundation Establishment. Qing Nu had exchanged a Jade Marrow Pill for him too.


    If they had the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, given his Different Spiritual Root talent, plus the three Foundation Establishment Treasures, he was virtually guaranteed of success.


    The two days passed in a flash.


    The moment Kong Feichen knocked on the door, Chen Mobai had just put his pen down from drawing the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    ¡°Here we are.¡±


    ¡°This is a Jade marrow pill, please have a look.¡±


    As soon as Kong Feichen entered, he immediately placed a milky-white pill encased in ice on the table.


    ¡°As Qing Nu¡¯s brother, I naturally trust you.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t check and accepted the Jade marrow pill directly. He handed over a bottle of prepared Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Kong Feichen took it without a glance, put it into his breast pocket and walked away.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you stay for dinner?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll treat you after I have established my foundation.


    Kong Feichen¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless. It seemed like this guy always wanted to surpass him.


    Looking at the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, as well as the three treasures for Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help thinking back to last year¡¯s big competition in the sect.


    in the crucial battle between the top 48 and 24, he met Mu Yuan, the fourth-ranking true disciple, and had no power to resist.


    After the event, when he thought about it in accordance with Qing Ping¡¯s theory, he felt that the main reason was that his realm was not high enough. But he had already achieved the ninth level of Qi cultivation and any higher level would require Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai was very flexible in his thinking and was not bound by the idea that only Foundation Building Pills could be used to establish the foundation in the Tianhe Realm.


    At the end of the third semester, he felt he could not waste the law practice he had gained from consuming the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    He needed to keep the status quo.


    Even if his Foundation Establishment failed this time, he could push his ninth level Qi cultivation to its peak.


    With the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he could definitely complete the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process. Adding the three treasures of Foundation Establishment and the vortex of spiritual power painstakingly cultivated over the years, he should also be able to reach the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    Because he hadn¡¯t achieved perfection in his ninth-level Qi cultivation, the Foundation Establishment tool predicted that he only had a 26% success rate in Foundation Establishment. However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan on succeeding in one go.


    He intended to stick to the Critical Law.


    in professional terms, it is called ¡°a half-step in Foundation Establishment.¡± Participating in the sect¡¯s big competition with this realm this year, he could definitely trounce everyone.


    ¡°Mu Yuan, just you wait!¡±


    Although he knew his fighting skills were somewhat mediocre, the fact that he couldn¡¯t fight back at all against Mu Yuan last year still made Chen Mobai unhappy.


    After getting an assurance from the teacher in the Dance Tool Dao Academy that there¡¯s nothing wrong with the Jade marrow pill, Chen Mobai applied for an intermediate-grade Rank-3 Cultivation Room with a spirit vein and started his first Foundation Establishment.


    First, he took the ¡°Vein Protection Pill¡±. Once the medicinal effect spread throughout his body, he took the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and drank it all in one gulp.


    Instantly, it felt like a hot surge fell into his Dantian and merged into his Longevity Spiritual Power, circulating through the twelve meridians during the Qi circulation.


    Chen Mobai started to sweat, but he knew it was normal when consuming the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Then he took the Jade marrow pill, and soon he could feel the slight numbness in his bones, especially his spine, even feeling mild pains¡­


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, this is your magic artifact for this year.¡±


    In the Spirit Plant Department, Lu Jun smilingly handed a Rank-2 lower-grade Divine Wood Sword to him.

    ¡°Oh, has Inspector Sun given his blessing this year?


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised as he took over his first ever Ranked-2 magic artifact, even though it was loaned by the department.


    ¡°Originally, the deputy head was in disagreement since Brother Li Li is his man. But due to last time¡¯s incident involving Brother Liu Guilong, the head harbored a grudge against the deputy head. The moment Inspector Sun mentioned it, the head immediately agreed. As the ratio was two votes to one, Junior Brother Chen, your application for the Divine Wood sword was approved.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the wine he gifted was not wasted. After taking the sword, he flicked it with a finger and the sound was like a dragon¡¯s chant.


    ¡°Brother Lu, do you think if I manage to seize first place among the true disciples this year, will there be a share for me in the Foundation Building Pills that Senior Uncle Zeng is refining?¡±

    ¡°If you are the top of the true disciples and Grand Uncle Zeng has succeeded in making some Foundation Building Pills, then you should get one.¡±


    Although Lu Jun didn¡¯t understand why Chen Mobai was so confident, thinking about his age, he felt that the youth should have such a sharp spirit.


    ¡°Please give these two jars of spirit wine to Inspector Sun, Brother Lu.¡±


    Sun Gaochang had to carry out his duties at the Reward Virtue Hall today, reporting on the spirit stone resource expenditure of the Spirit Plant Department this year, so Chen Mobai did not meet him.


    After receiving his 100 spirit stone benefits from the Spirit Plant Department this year, he returned to Small Yang Ridge.


    Chen Mobai completed the harvesting of the spirit rice on his personal spirit field, then had the three disciples he hired from the Divine Wood Sect dry it in the sun separately.


    The sect¡¯s farmlands had been harvested by Lu Jun and Teng Jie a few days ago, granting Chen Mobai¡¯s account an extra 3100 contribution points. The reason it was more than last year was because 20 more Dew Grass plants had grown in the medicinal field.


    This Dew Grass, as a top-rank-1 spirit grass, can be sold for 5 spirit stones per plant in the market.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have any experience when he grew them for the first time, so the yield was mediocre.


    This year he specially visited the Book Pavilion to learn about the cultivation knowledge inherited from the Divine Wood Sect on Dew Grass. In addition to taking an elective course on ¡°Spirit Grass Planting¡± from the cultivation sect, the harvest of Dew Grass increased by nearly 20% this year.


    The contribution of Dew Grass to the sect is normal, but even without the tenfold effect of spirit rice, the yield of 80 plants from two acres still added 400 contribution points to Chen Mobai¡¯s account. In terms of spirit stones alone, the yield per acre is far higher than that of spirit rice.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s plan to make spirit wine for spirit stones in the future, given the excellent harvest of spiritual medicine and spirit grass, he might also change the spirit field to a medicinal field, and, like other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, would focus on growing precious herbs, waiting for a sudden fortune after ten or twenty years of harvest.


    ¡°Brother Chen, all the rice has been dried.¡±


    A young man with an ordinary face came into the wooden house of Small Yang Ridge and respectfully reported to Chen Mobai who was about to draw symbols.


    You¡¯ve worked hard, Brother Liang, here is your compensation for this year.¡±


    Two other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were outside the door. The three of them were the ones Chen Mobai had hired from Spirit Treasure Pavilion through the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡±


    After receiving 15 spirit stones as a reward, the leading Brother Liang hesitated for a moment but summoned the courage to voice his plan.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I don¡¯t plan to come back next year.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Why is that? If it¡¯s not enough spirit stones, Brother Liang, we can increase it.¡±


    Chen Mobai put down the green bamboo pen in his hand in surprise when he heard Liang Xinhuo¡¯s words.


    Compared to the two other False Spirit Root disciples, who had reached the Qi Cultivation Rank-2 level and had no prospect for improvement, this Liang Xinhuo, although a four-Spirit Root, was still young and ambitious.


    Over the past two years, thanks to his dedicated service, Chen Mobai was able to spare some time to study at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, research talismans, and improve his cultivation technique realm.


    If it had been the other two leaving, Chen Mobai would have shown them out without a second thought.


    But with Liang Xinhuo, he felt it necessary to try to retain him.


    Upon hearing this, Liang Xinhuo expressed his own thoughts frankly.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you have superior spiritual-root talent and are one of the Sect¡¯s favored sons. In a few years, there¡¯s even hope of you becoming a true disciple. You are very kind and I am happy to work under you.¡±


    ¡°However, I feel that since I was given the opportunity to join the Divine Wood Sect, even though my spiritual roots are not that good, I would like to seize this chance for immortal cultivation.¡±


    ¡°With the fields I¡¯m farming under your command and the subsidies from the sect, I can get around 50 spirit stones a year. However, after I advanced to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, these spirit stones were no longer sufficient to support my daily cultivation efforts. To walk further on the path of immortal cultivation, I have decided to participate in the sect¡¯s expedition to Yun Meng Ze and take a chance for myself.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that he couldn¡¯t possibly keep Liang Xinhuo.


    Even if he was able to offer a high amount of spirit stones, how could he possibly outbid people like E Yun?


    Moreover, the opening up of Yun Meng Ze is a major strategic move by the sect for the next ten years. With the endorsement of the Gold Core elder, the spiritual stone resources of the Reward Virtue Hall are essentially supplied to this group first and foremost.


    Almost all ambitious members of the Divine Wood Sect, under the leadership of the newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun, are flocking to Yun Meng Ze.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t made a fortune from selling storage bags, he might have been tempted as well.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I wish Junior Brother Liang a smooth journey. You can take this talisman.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai took a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman that he had just drawn on a piece of silver-edged bamboo leaf as the talisman paper from the table.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. If I can return from this expedition, I will repay your kindness.¡±


    Liang Xinhuo knew how much this high-grade Rank-1 talisman could fetch in the sect¡¯s Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He might not be able to afford two of them even with a whole year¡¯s worth of farming, so despite the fact that it was drawn by Chen Mobai himself, he was extremely excited.


    After seeing off his capable farming assistant, Chen Mobai was a bit irritated about having to recruit new people next year.


    However, this was a matter for later. His main focus now was the upcoming big competition in the sect.


    He picked up a bright red block of talisman ink, a unique ¡°Vermilion Talisman Ink¡± from Giant Tree Ridge, and began to carefully grind it. Thanks to three years of learning ¡°Ink Color Extraction¡± at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the various ink-making tools in the immortal sect, Chen Mobai was able to blend this ¡°Vermilion Talisman Ink¡± to perfection.


    The whole block was Rank-2, bright vermilion in color, with only a thin layer of impurities settled at the bottom and froth on the top affecting the quality.


    However, if he were to sell this talisman ink in Divine Wood City, everyone would consider it as Rank-2. The reason being, only the cultivator with the deepest understanding of ink-making can make such high-quality talisman ink, and that too only when the state of the material is perfect.


    After grinding, Chen Mobai lifted his green bamboo pen with his right hand and dipped it in the talisman ink.


    Finally, he began to draw on the silver-edged bamboo leaf laid on the table. Just like a bundle of crimson flames cutting across, it illuminated the entire bamboo leaf and completed a full talisman in one stroke.


    Crimson Flame Sword Talisman!


    Chen Mobai, with his skills equivalent to a Rank-2 talisman maker of the Tianhe Realm, found no problem in producing the Crimson Flame Single Sword and Dual Sword Talisman. Only the Triple Sword Talisman, which was equivalent to Rank-2 in difficulty, maintained a success rate of only 50%.


    Since he had only eight sheets of Gold-Edged Bamboo Leaves, he would only attempt to draw it when he was in his best state.


    As he was about to participate in the sect¡¯s great competition for the second time, Chen Mobai decided to complete the drawing of all the bamboo leaf talisman papers he had accumulated for some additional insurance in his hand.

    The Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, as one of the hallmarks of the Divine Wood Sect, could also serve to reveal some of his talisman-making skills. After he becomes a true disciple in the future, he can then sell it just like the Jade Bud Spirit Wine to earn spirit stones.


    Time passed quickly, and he drew all the twenty-six Silver-Edged Bamboo Leaves he had collected in the past two years into Crimson Flame Sword Talismans.


    He used half of the eight Gold Edge Bamboo leaves.


    He had made two of them into Crimson Flame Triple Sword Talisman.


    Two of them failed, but he managed to keep the power of the Crimson Flame Dual Sword Talisman using his immortal sect skills..

 Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Surge i

    Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Surge i


    Translator: 549690339


    There were only four sheets of rank-2 golden-edged bamboo leaves left.


    Chen Mobai intended to use them to draw the rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman he had been learning diligently for the past two years.


    This particular talisman is the one he has studied most proficiently. This is not only because he had used it previously, but because his cultivation technique of eternal youth is also of the wood attribute, making it an especially good match. Even though it has been a long time since he returned to Red Sandstone City, he still remembers vividly the talismans sold in the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop.


    After all, the shop¡¯s talismans were the primary reason for his initially outstanding performance in the Tianhe Realm and during the entrance examination for the magical duel at the academy.


    After Chen Mobai was certified as a Rank-1 Talisman Maker, he chose to specialize in the wood talismans.


    Within the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was very easy for him to learn these talismans. However, learning the rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman held him back for two full months.


    It was not until Chen Xinglan¡¯s Foundation Establishment when Chen Mobai took leave to go back to Red Sandstone City and paid a visit to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop. With the latter¡¯s careful instruction, he finally made a breakthrough in drawing this talisman.


    Now, out of the three rank-2 talismans he can draw, the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± has the highest success rate. It is also the one he is most confident with.


    Drawing a talisman consumes a tremendous amount of spirit and spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai only began drawing the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± again after a night¡¯s rest.


    His condition was superb and he successfully drew three out of the four bamboo leaves.


    However, when he finished drawing, Chen Mobai discovered a faint crack on the shaft of his green bamboo brush.


    After all, it was a Rank-i superior-grade talisman brush. After continuous use over the past couple of days and being used to draw rank-2 talismans, it was showing signs of wear and tear.


    It appears that he needs to get a better talisman brush.


    As for how to obtain it, Chen Mobai already had an idea in mind.


    Purchasing one would definitely be unaffordable. The finished rank-2 magic artifacts from the Immortal Sect generally cost around one million good deed points.


    Due to the single functionality of the talisman brush, it would be slightly cheaper. A standard rank-2 talisman brush only costs five to six hundred thousand, but even at this price, Chen Mobai could hardly afford it.


    On the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s side, the price for a rank-2 talisman brush is around one to two hundred spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai felt that it was too expensive and not worth it.


    So, his plan was to buy the raw materials for crafting a brush in the Tianhe Realm and then ask someone to help him make it in the Immortal Sect.


    Appropriately, there is a peerless refining genius from his own class within Chen Mobai¡¯s circle of friends.


    ¡°Brother, I want to order a rank-2 talisman brush. Do you know any artifact refiners who are good at crafting brushes?¡±


    ¡°Crafting brushes? That is somewhat uncommon, I¡¯ll have to ask around.¡±


    The Refining Implement Department where Ming Yuhua resides mainly focuses on combat and defense magic artifacts. No one really researches auxiliary artifacts like the talisman brush.


    Brother, thank you for the effort. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when you find someone.¡±


    ¡°Alright, but don¡¯t get your hopes up too high, I doubt there is anyone in our Daoist Academy who has studied this.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai took another two days of rest. After completely recuperating from the mental and spiritual consumption of making talismans, he returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    The sect-wide competition was about to begin.


    Within the Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai, Qi Rui, and Xi Jinghuo sat by a window in a tavern, watching the preliminary stages of the competition take place on the ten huge platforms in the center of the city below.


    Generally, only 1536 Qi Cultivation disciples are needed for the sect-wide competition. After six rounds of dueling, the remaining 24 will become the elite disciples.


    However, due to the large number of recruits by the Divine Wood Sect in these years, the number of Qi Cultivation disciples participating in the sect-wide competition exceeded the limit. But it was not enough to add another round.


    To maintain the configuration of the 24 elite disciples after six rounds, the Divine Wood Sect conducted a preliminary contest to eliminate some of the Qi Cultivation disciples.


    Naturally, those in the late stages of Qi Cultivation like Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to participate in the preliminary contest. This year, Xi Jinghuo had advanced to the 7th level of Qi Cultivation, making things a bit easier for him.


    The three of them watched the Fight Duels among the disciples at the 3rd and


    4th Qi Cultivation stages below, feeling completely unenthused.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you are going to shine brightly this year.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo suddenly uttered a statement that Chen Mobai did not understand.


    ¡°Oh? Brother Xi, why do you say that?¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Plant Department has applied for a rank-2 Divine Wood Sword for you. This news has already spread widely.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    It must have been Brother Li Li who spread the news.¡±


    ¡°The reason that each of the Twelve Departments can secure a position among the elite disciples each year is because the sect allows them to lend rank-2 magic artifacts to promising disciples. While this helps maintain the face of the Twelve Departments, such a practice is common knowledge. Therefore, during the yearly sect-wide competition, those who have connections will always inquire about which artifacts are lent out.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo naturally belonged to those with connections.


    Qi Rui was not aware of this. He only understood after hearing it and wore a regretful expression on his face.


    ¡°Does your Spirit Plant Department really have such good benefits that they could lend out two rank-2 flying swords? Our Talisman Division only has one set of rank-2 armor for Elder Sister Ding Ying.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only answer with silence. However, when Qi Rui mentioned Ding Ying, his eyes flashed subtly.


    This outstanding disciple from the previous class had not taken the Foundation Building Pill because she practiced the two-phase method, just like Yuan Chiye. Last year, she ranked sixth among the elite disciples and was considered a talent likely to succeed in the Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°If you fail to become one of the elite disciples this year because of the open conflict regarding the three Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Spirit Plant Department, you may be left out for a long time. It¡¯s likely that you won¡¯t be able to borrow a rank-2 magic artifact in the next decade or so.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words were somewhat chilling. Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t noticed this before, but after being prompted by Xi Jinghuo, his face suddenly registered comprehension.


    Indeed, that would be the case.


    In the Spirit Plant Department, Liu Guilong, the original elite disciple, had lost his position to Li Li last year due to failing the Foundation Establishment.


    This year, Liu Guilong¡¯s injuries healed, and if he had a rank-2 magic artifact, he would have a high chance of reclaiming his position as an elite disciple.


    But obviously, Li Li isn¡¯t willing to back off. Behind both of them are the Spirit Plant Department¡¯s dean and vice-dean, two Foundation Establishment Elders, and they all need a reason to meddle.


    Whether Chen Mobai was proactively involved or was selected as a formidable piece in their game by Sun Gaochang, the three Foundation Establishment Elders tacitly agreed that he should receive a rank-2 flying sword.


    If he cannot become an elite disciple this year, the distribution of spirit swords in the Spirit Plant Department will have been established, and the other sword will definitely go to Liu Guilong.


    Therefore, in this sect-wide competition, many people might be watching Chen Mobai from the sidelines.


    ¡°Thank you for your warning, Brother Xi.¡±


    Having understood the hidden implications behind his obtaining a Rank-2


    Divine Wood Sword, Chen Mobai sincerely toasted Xi Jinghuo.


    ¡°This wine is not as good as the one you brew.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After finishing his drink, Xi Jinghuo shook his head, critiquing the spiritual wine served at the tavern.


    I have long finished the liquor I brewed last year, but this year I brewed a hundred jars. When they are opened, I will treat you all to a feast.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s face lit up with joy.


    Time passed quickly. With the preliminary contest over, the main competition of the sect-wide competition was about to begin.


    Chen Mobai encountered his first-round opponent, who turned out to be someone he knew..

 Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Recruiting_l

    Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Recruiting_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Brother Chen.¡±


    On the platform, Zhuo Ming respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought my first round opponent would be Sister Zhuo. It¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    The girl who left Southstream Market with him to join the Divine Wood Sect, had lost contact with him after they left the Bud Hall.


    Being able to meet during the massive sect competition with thousands of participants was quite a coincidence.


    ¡°I hope Brother Chen can progress courageously, so that he can become a true successor in this competition.¡±


    Zhuo Ming knew that she was no match for Chen Mobai. Once she stepped on the platform, she didn¡¯t waste any of her talismans and spiritual power, and after saying a courteous phrase, she directly admitted defeat.


    ¡°Sister, we haven¡¯t seen each other in two years, if by chance let¡¯s have a drink together.¡±


    After stepping off the platform, Chen Mobai invited Zhuo Ming, who was excited to hear this and immediately came over.


    Due to his excellent performance in last year¡¯s competition, Chen Mobai had gained a certain prestige in the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    Many people believed that once the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured, he was likely to become one of the true successors.


    And Zhuo Ming had the most confidence in Chen Mobai becoming a true successor.


    After all, at the Southstream Market back then, Yuan Chiye had determined that he had the most top-notch True Spirit Root.


    ¡°Brother Chen, long time no see.¡±


    But before the two of them had a chance to sit down, another acquaintance came to greet them.


    It was another three-spiritual-root prodigy from Southstream Market, Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°It¡¯s you, since you¡¯re here, join us for a drink.¡±


    The three of them sat in a restaurant overlooking some of the platforms and began recounting their experiences in the Divine Wood Sect over the past two years.


    Out of the three, Zhuo Ming¡¯s career was the most simple. The difficulty of her transformation into the Art of Immortality was extraordinary, and she barely achieved Qi Cultivation level six.


    She usually apprenticed in a talisman shop in Divine Wood City. The owner was a disciple from the Talisman Division, and a rank-one Talisman Master.


    However, Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t learn anything from him. The Master closely guarded his talisman creation techniques, only allowing her to handle some talisman paper and ink work.


    ¡°I have average talent. If I want to reach the Qi Cultivation level nine before the age limit of sixty, I might have to join the team exploring the Cloud Dream Lake.¡±


    After Zhuo Ming finished speaking, her face showed bitterness. Joining the sect-wide competition was essentially a chance to showcase her abilities.


    She had originally saved two top-quality rank-one talismans in hopes of winning the first round and finding an opportunity to trade her life for a good price.


    Who could have expected such bad luck, encountering Chen Mobai ¨C a true successor candidate ¨C in the first round, and losing the courage to compete.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a bit miserable.¡±


    After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s account, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but empathize.


    If he hadn¡¯t stumbled upon the turtle shell, his situation in the Divine Wood Sect probably wouldn¡¯t be much better than Zhuo Ming¡¯s.


    ¡°How about you, Brother Liu? Weren¡¯t you following Yuan Chiye to explore the Yun Meng Ze?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, I had several close brushes with death. Most of the brothers and sisters who came with me didn¡¯t make it, though there¡¯s now a glimmer of hope for the future.¡±


    While Liu Wenbo was speaking, he did not hide his cultivation level, which had actually reached Qi Cultivation level eight.


    Chen Mobai took a closer look at him and compared to when he was at Bud Hall, Liu Wenbo, who was originally gentle, had gained a bit of tenacity. It seemed that the life-and-death battles had really shaped him, giving him a total transformation.


    ¡°Well, not bad. After Brother E Yun ¡°Foundation Establishments¡±, Brother Yuan will take over. By the time Brother Yuan ¡°Foundation Establishments¡±, you should be at Qi Cultivation level nine. With their support, you¡¯ll surely rank among the top of the True Successors in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Liu Wenbo feeling flabbergasted, he never expected himself to receive such praise from a senior brother as sublime as an exiled Immortal.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to entertain such extravagant hopes, I would be grateful just to be listed among the direct disciples.¡±


    The three of them chatted for a while, more so it was Chen Mobai asking questions, and the other two answering respectfully.


    Although Chen Mobai had already let go of his position as the leader of the disciples at Southstream Market when he left Bud Hall, the two still held great respect for him.


    This respect deepened even more when last year Chen Mobai made it to the top 48. He was merely a round away from becoming an official disciple.


    In the eyes of Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai was already seen as an official disciple.


    They firmly believed that it was only a matter of time.


    ¡°I have quite a few medicinal and spirit fields in my Small Yang Ridge that need tending to. If disciple sister Zhuo doesn¡¯t mind, would you be willing to help me?¡±


    Looking at Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that she too completed her chores by chopping logs at Bud Hall. Thus, fostering those farming skills should be more useful than training under Liang Xinhuo.


    ¡°So, what would be the remuneration for this?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, coming from a Loose Cultivator background, was quite pragmatic and asked the most crucial question straight away.


    ¡°For now, it will be 30 spirit stones per year. If disciple sister agrees, you¡¯re welcome to watch me preparing talismans and ink sketches. If you don¡¯t understand some part, you can write it down and ask me after I finish.¡±


    Hiring a 6th layer Qi cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect at this price could not be considered high. However, upon hearing the latter half of his sentence, Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes brightened and she immediately agreed.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the legacy of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal is even more precious than the books on cultivation techniques in some aspects.


    Without officially being a master and disciple, it¡¯s impossible to receive the teachings.


    Although it was possible to purchase these from the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect using spirit stones, it was only limited to disciples in the Talisman division.


    Zhuo Ming had already spent years of savings in the Fang Market to buy the legacy of a rank-1 Talisman Master, but due to her weak foundation, her learning was severely hindered.


    While in Southstream Market, she had known that Chen Mobai was an exceptional talisman maker. His glyphs were concise with intricate constructions, much better than the items sold in the large sect establishments.


    If she could learn under him, she might be able to make up for her weak foundation and there¡¯s a chance she might become a bona fide Talisman Master in the future.


    So, the moment Zhuo Ming heard that Chen Mobai was willing to instruct her, she immediately agreed enthusiastically.


    ¡°Secluded in the mountain, free from the disturbance of carriages and horses, if possible, I really wish to learn from Brother Chen how to farm and brew wine leisurely. Unfortunately¡­¡±


    As Liu Wenbo spoke, his face fell as if he remembered the brothers who died in Cloud Dream Lake. He sighed woefully.


    Carrying the expectations of his family and being responsible for many junior brothers and sisters, he has no way to retreat now.


    ¡°Liu Wenbo, with great power comes great responsibility.¡±


    Chen Mobai consoled him briefly and then left with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°First, resign from your apprenticeship at the rune store, then wait until the grand sect competition ends and come back to Small Yang Ridge with me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, senior brother Chen.¡±


    The sect¡¯s grand competition ended quickly today, and both Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo advanced to the next round successfully.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The three agreed to meet for a drink in the evening. Zhuo Ming, who had already packed her things, came over and quietly sat pouring wine for them.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re a bit unfortunate. If you pass the fifth round, you¡¯re to face senior sister Ding Ying.¡±


    The match-up list for everyone came out today.


    After looking at his match-up, Qi Rui also arranged Chen Mobai¡¯s and found this weird coincidence.


    ¡°On the contrary, I think I am very fortunate..¡±

 Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Liquid Spiritual Power_l

    Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Liquid Spiritual Power_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Mobai put down the wine glass in his hand, his tone calm.


    Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo looked at each other, not knowing where the ¡°good¡± is in


    this situation.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, although you have a rank-2 flying sword, you may win against some weaker True Disciples. However, Sister Ding Ying has occupied the position of a True Disciple for thirteen years now. Even without using the symbolic flower armor from our talisman making department, she has a solid prospect of advancing into the True Disciples,¡±


    As a cultivator in the same talisman making department, Qi Rm understood


    Ding Ying¡¯s strength best.


    In the past ten years, Ding Ying had been filling the number.


    But after E Yun and his group of people either established their foundations or retreated, she was now considered the first level in true lineage.


    ¡°Actually, the person I want to face is Mu Yuan.¡±


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s words made even Xi Jinghuo, the immortal second generation, unable to resist taking a cold breath.


    Who is Mu Yuan?


    The true disciple put forward by the leading hall of the three, Shenmu Hall, is a prodigy meant to succeed Zhou Wangshen, who has already established his foundation.


    It is said that his spiritual root talent is better than Zhou Wangshen¡¯s. If it wasn¡¯t for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Mu Yuan would be the most talented disciple in the Shenmu sect in the past decade.


    in last year¡¯s sect competition, if it weren¡¯t for his young age and lack of experience in magic duels, he probably wouldn¡¯t have settled for fourth place.


    Even so, in order to defeat him, Yuan Chiye played all his cards, resulting in him being unable to compete with the other two in the final round of the competition for the sequence of the three true disciples, ranking third.


    In this year¡¯s sect competition, Mu Yuan is widely acknowledged as a seed candidate who can progress to the last round, the top three.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, I know you were a bit unwilling to admit defeat last year, but sometimes a person has to face their fate. Mu Yuan is too strong, backed by Shenmu Hall and with two rank-2 magic artifacts. Even the previous number one, Uncle Hong He, may not necessarily be able to suppress him in the Qi Cultivating Realm,¡±


    Qi Rui seriously advised.


    in the previous batch of true disciples, Hong He from the Penalty Evil Hall held the position of the first true disciple for a full ten years, with Zhou Wangshen and E Yun from Shenmu Hall alternating in the second and third positions.


    And Mu Yuan, already has the potential of Hong He.


    Many people believe that he would be able to suppress all the true disciples and lead the three thousand Qi Practitioners of Shenmu sect in the next ten years.


    ¡ö¡öIf I can make it to the 9th round, I will inevitably encounter him. We have to have a duel, otherwise, I won¡¯t feel satisfied,¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile. He had already seen the competition chart, the key battle of the 48 to 24 true disciples. As long as Ding Ying was not defeated beforehand, the two of them would face off.


    And if he could beat Ding Ying and defeat the next opponent, then if Mu Yuan really was as invincible as they said, Chen Mobai would meet his old rival in the eighth round of the six to three key battle.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, but Younger Brother Chen, you mustn¡¯t act forcefully when the time comes. Like last year, if you can¡¯t win, just admit defeat,¡±


    Hearing Qi Rui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say anything more. He simply lifted the wine glass in his hand to signal a toast.


    Xi Jinghuo looked at his expression, and felt a bit stunned, but after he was overwhelmed by the alcohol, he put it out of his mind.


    Only Zhuo Ming, because she didn¡¯t drink, had a clear view of the situation.


    There was no laughter in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    [Brother Chen is serious!?]


    After a long half month of the first round, the trio who were drinking finally


    had their second round.


    Chen Mobai and Qi Rui, as ninth-level Qi cultivators, were subdivisions of True Disciple seeds defeated their enemies in one move.


    Xi Jinghuo met a sixth-level Qi cultivator with rich magic dueling experience, and it took quite some time to finally defeat his opponent using the Crimson


    Flame Sword Talisman.


    In the third and fourth rounds, Chen Mobai faced opponents in the late stages of Qi cultivation, but he let them do their best in order to test the power of the Divine Wood Sword. Unfortunately, the opponents were too weak, and none could withstand his attacks for more than ten moves.


    Finally, in the fifth round, he encountered a decent opponent, a True Disciple candidate named Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng was a student from the sword training department and practiced the Golden Light Sword Art ¨C outside of Mu Yuan, he was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had encountered in the sect competition so far.


    Unfortunately for him, Guo Sheng had come across Chen Mobai, and without access to a Rank-2 Flying Sword, he chose not to use his Flying Sword altogether after a few clashes with Chen Mobai¡¯s Golden Light Sword and the Divine Wood Sword that dimmed his spiritual light.


    in the subsequent portion of the match, Guo Sheng chose to use his Sword Gang to battle, while Chen Mobai stayed defensive with his Divine Wood Sword, gradually learning about all attributes of this Rank-2 Flying Sword during the battle.


    As long as spiritual power was channeled into it, the attack executed by the Divine Wood Sword was equivalent to the ¡°Sword Gang Transforming Qi¡± of a sword cultivator ¨C essentially an unstoppable finishing move against Qi Practitioners.


    Only a Rank-2 defensive talisman or magic artifact could resist it.


    Guo Sheng exhausted all his means, relying on his thirty years of rich sword duel experience, and barely dodged seven attacks from Divine Wood Sword Qi, attempting to exhaust Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power and turn defeat into victory.


    Unfortunately for him, Chen Mobai had surpassed the Qi Cultivating Realm by utilizing the Jade marrow pill, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, and Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment cultivated from the immortal gates.


    Although he hadn¡¯t succeeded in Foundation Establishment,


    Chen Mobai had completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, and also begun Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    in the vortex at the core of his Dantian Qi Sea, two drops of liquid spiritual power had already formed.


    Each of these drops of liquid spiritual power was equivalent to the total spiritual power of a Qi practitioner at the peak of the ninth level. According to The Undying Scripture¡¯s take on Foundation Establishment, this second step of ¡°Condensing Qi into Liquid¡± required ten drops of such liquid spiritual power.


    During his time of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was not able to further develop due to not having reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, despite using elixirs and practicing in a Rank-3 Cultivation Room. He could only condense into two drops before reaching his limit, forcing him to hold this progress in a standstill with a last resort technique.


    Despite this, he had already surpassed the realm of Qi cultivation.


    As long as he was willing, he could spend these two drops of liquid spiritual power on casting a Rank-2 spell or fully activating the strongest power of the Divine Wood Sword.


    This was the force of the Foundation Establishment level, capable of crushing all Qi Practitioners.


    After Guo Sheng struggled to dodge four Divine Wood Sword Qi, he found an opportunity to attack up-close, but he was halted by a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman from Chen Mobai at the instant of his move.


    Hardly blocking the Red Flame Sword Qi with his last defensive talisman, Guo Sheng was struck with another Divine Wood Sword Qi from Chen Mobai before he could react.


    With no other options left, a desperate Guo Sheng conceded defeat just as the Sword Qi reached him. He had no means left.


    Not conceding would result in serious injury, even risking damage to his source.


    ¡°The victor, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Upon hearing the elder¡¯s announcement from the stage, Chen Mobai smiled, storing his Divine Wood Sword in his storage bag, and left the stage, gesturing to a sweaty and pale Guo Sheng before leaving.

    ¡°Chen, do you have a moment?¡±


    After stepping off the stage, he was greeted by an unexpected person.


    ¡°If Brother Yuan extends an invitation, of course, I have time.¡±


    Yuan Chiye smiled and turned around. Chen Mobai followed him into a private courtyard, and they sat in a pavilion by a pond where food and drinks were already prepared.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard you made an attempt to visit Sister Ding, but was turned away..¡±

    Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Successor_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I was too rash, mistaken the wrong person.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not understand what Yuan Chiye was implying, but indeed, he had recklessly approached Ding Ying.


    ¡°Actually, the one with me last time at the Southstream Market was Junior Sister Yin, but her identity is special. If the opposing sects find out, it could stir up trouble. If anything happens to her, our Divine Wood Sect could even start a sect war. Hence, we borrowed the identity of Junior Sister Ding.¡±


    Junior Sister Yin?


    So, she¡¯s really the one rumored to have the Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai confirmed his suspicion, yet he presented an expression of ¡°shock.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep this secret and will not let anyone else know.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. In the end, if Junior Sister Yin does not establish her foundation, she won¡¯t be expelled by Elder Fu.¡±


    Yuan Chiye seemed to trust Chen Mobai very much, even revealing such sect secrets to him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, in another two years, I plan to retreat and take the Foundation Building Pill. However, our faction does not have any successors in the True Disciples. If you¡¯re willing, I can talk to Junior Sister Ding and let you become a True Disciple this year.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes shifted slightly, surprised at the conditions that Yuan Chiye was willing to offer to recruit him.


    ¡°Senior Sister Ding might not agree.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing, Uncle E would personally persuade Junior Sister Ding. After she obtains the Foundation Building Pill, holding the position of a True Disciple no longer makes sense.¡±


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai fall silent. It seemed that the position of a True Disciple, which was of great importance to them, wasn¡¯t really that significant in the eyes of their superiors.


    That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t the main purpose of a True Disciple position to get the Foundation Building Pill?


    Those who have already obtained the Foundation Building Pill have indeed become somewhat annoying by continuing to hold onto the position.


    ¡°What do I have to do to join you? And what can I gain from it?¡±


    ¡°You would receive the care of our faction, but correspondingly, you would need to undertake some of my tasks in Yun Meng Ze when I retreat to take the Foundation Building Pill. The group of people from Southstream Market would be reassigned to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    He would indeed be willing, if he only had to stay in the Divine Wood Sect. However, the risk in Yun Meng Ze was too big. Without establishing his foundation, he didn¡¯t feel the need to take such risks.


    ¡°I owe Uncle E a favor; as long as I become a True Disciple, I¡¯ll claim to be belonging to your group.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai surprised Yuan Chiye; he hadn¡¯t expected that answer.


    ¡°You mean, not join us, but still claim to be one of us?¡±


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°Without our help, it would take you at least five or six years to become a True Disciple. Plus, if you lose this time, the Spirit Plant Department won¡¯t lend you a Rank-2 Magic Artifact anymore. You might have to wait another decade for the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom to mature.¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye¡¯s words were quite cold, they were very realistic.


    ¡°What if I beat Senior Sister Ding?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question that made Yuan Chiye burst into laughter.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡±


    After this statement, the two stopped discussing the matter. They chatted on other topics and seeing the day getting late, Chen Mobai excused himself.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, our meeting today was delightful, but the wine was merely average. Once the Spiritual Wine I have made is ready, I¡¯ll invite you to another drink.¡±


    In the pavilion, Yuan Chiye watched Chen Mobai leave. He put down his wine cup and frowned, finishing the remaining half pot of wine in one gulp.


    This wine was worth three Spirit Stones, and was already among the better selections in Divine Wood City. It couldn¡¯t be wasted.


    ¡°You have such high hopes for him.¡±


    A shadow descended, an average-looking man with bright eyes ¨C E Yun was looking at Yuan Chiye, using his chopsticks to finish up the leftovers.


    ¡°Among the talented ones who emerged from Yun Country, Yu Lian was taken as a disciple by Elder Shan, the Luo siblings are the descendants of Uncle Luo, only he is the most innocent.¡±


    ¡°Although Liu Wenbo is also doing well, his Spiritual Root is somewhat lacking. Even with our help, the best he could do is to become a True Disciple.¡±


    ¡°After us, if we want to command respect among the True Disciples, I think he¡¯s the most suitable.¡±


    Yuan Chiye spoke honestly.


    During the previous Ferrying Spirit Mission, among the four countries under the Divine Wood Sect, excluding Jian Country where the sect was, the remaining Yun Country, Rain Country, and Lei Nation were given to E Yun, Hong He, and Zhou Wangshen respectively.


    Unfortunately, among the four talents selected from Yun Country, three were predestined.


    Yu Lian was okay as she was a lone ranger.


    Just like Chen Mobai, after leaving Bud Hall, she concentrated on cultivation.


    But the Luo siblings led away quite many people, making E Yun shortfall in manpower while developing Yun Meng Ze, lagging behind the other Foundation Establishment Elders.


    ¡°Let him hit walls for a few years, by the time the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom is nearing maturity, he will come to us.¡±


    E Yun said this after finishing his wine and food.


    ¡°Should we notify Junior Sister Ding? She seems to have some small grudges against Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°One must always suffer a bit before learning to bow. Junior Sister Ding knows what she¡¯s doing.¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Chiye kept quiet.


    When Chen Mobai returned, he found Qi Rui drowning his sorrows in wine at the inn where they were staying.


    ¡°Did you lose?¡±


    He asked Xi Jinghuo, who was sitting aside. Jing Huo had been eliminated in the fourth round.


    However, Jing Huo believed he has a promising future and was confident that he could become a True Disciple before the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matured.


    So, being eliminated in this sect competition did not bother him. He accepted it calmly.


    On the other hand, Qi Rui, after reaching the Qi Cultivation nine ranks, except for the first year when he breezed into the top 48 due to good luck, was eliminated in the fifth round during the past two years. This had dealt quite a blow to him as he had planned to make a name for himself.


    ¡°I encountered last year¡¯s True Disciple and couldn¡¯t beat her.¡±


    Qi Rui replied and sorrowfully drinks another mouthful.


    ¡°It seems like the three of us will conclude this competition together tomorrow.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words made Chen Mobai shake his head. This guy had already given up on him defeating Ding Ying.


    ¡°I need to rest now. I should take tomorrow¡¯s match seriously.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai left.


    Xi Jinghuo and Qi Rui looked at each other, both left speechless.


    There was no way to win against Ding Ying, so how was he supposed to prepare?


    Prepare to lose gracefully?


    Today, the sect competition finally reached the battle for the twenty-four spots of True Disciples.


    ¡°Junior Brother Mu Yuan, please.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai sat in a tavern, watching the first match below.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s opponent was a True Disciple who had already obtained the Foundation Building Pill. Xi Jinghuo explained that it was the sect¡¯s initiative to encourage those who had obtained the Foundation Building Pill last year and were still occupying their positions to leave.


    Unfortunately, Yuan Chiye suppressed Mu Yuan last year, who was sent by Shenmu Hall to clean up the field.


    But he might not be able to suppress him this year.


    Chen Mobai looked at Mu Yuan emotionlessly knocking his opponent off the stage, pondering to himself..

 Chapter 212 - Chapter 212: Chapter 212 – One Sword_1

    Chapter 212: Chapter 212 ¨C One Sword_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai stood on the stage, bowing to the voluptuous woman in red in front of him.


    ¡°I¡¯m surprised you had the courage to come up here.


    Ding Ying¡¯s face was relaxed, her right hand held two green and yellow talismans. She was slowly approaching Chen Mobai, gradually exerting pressure.


    ¡°After all, we¡¯re now in the sixth round. Passing this stage would mean becoming a True Disciple of the Sect. Regardless of how strong the opponent is, I still want to give it a try.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke humbly, expressing his determination not to give up and his desire to fight for victory.


    ¡°Do you think you can defeat me?¡±


    Upon hearing his words, Ding Ying couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth with a surprised laugh, as if she had just heard an uncontrollable joke.


    ¡°Hmm!¡±


    To this, Chen Mobai only responded with one word.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Ding Ying widened her eyes, unable to understand where his confidence came from.


    Sensing this, she snorted, and threw the yellow talisman from her hand. With a loud noise, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter suddenly appeared and fell onto Chen Mobai¡¯s head. It was about to engulf him completely.


    A pure green Flying Sword soared into the sky, circling around the fireball and transforming it into a rain of fire.


    The entire stage seemed to be showered with fire rain, but Chen Mobai blocked it all with a Defensive Talisman.


    ¡°Without this Divine Wood Sword, you won¡¯t even be able to withstand one of


    my attacks.¡±


    In the midst of Ding Ying¡¯s cold laugh, another green talisman ignited a Spiritual Light and fell to her feet.


    Immediately afterwards, a tree sapling burst forth from the earth and in the blink of an eye grew into a tree two meters high.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai found this move somewhat familiar, but Ding Ying¡¯s next move made him understand why it looked familiar.


    He saw her slap a talisman into the tree. A clear and pure light emanated, transforming into a green aura that made the entire stage tremble. This aura was condensed into a fist-sized pillar of light at the tip of Ding Ying¡¯s right hand.


    ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light!?¡±


    Back on the Green Light Island, their team could only withstand the flock of Black Plague Birds and even repel the Rank-2 Bird King due to the Spirit Tree s assistance.


    However, if Ding Ying could activate the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± by herself, likely no one within the True Disciples could compete against her.


    After calming down, Chen Mobai analyzed and found the difference between this green light and the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.


    It seemed like a degraded version of Heavenly Wood Divine Light.


    ¡°Losing to my Rank- 2 Heavenly Wood Talisman is something you should be proud of.¡±


    Although Ding Ying¡¯s words were dismissive, her actual actions were very cautious. After all, Chen Mobai was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and had a Rank-2 Flying Sword at hand.


    This Heavenly Wood Talisman was one of her trump cards. She lifted her head, her right fingers pointed at Chen Mobai, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light began to rotate, forming a spiraling spearhead.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai pressed his sword finger, the Divine Wood Sword hummed. He was ready to give Ding Ying an unforgettable defeat.


    A drop of Liquid Spiritual Power flowed out from the Qi Sea of his Dantian, running through his fingertips into the sword.


    In an instant, the Divine Wood Sword, like pure green silk, shot out from his fingers.


    At the same time, Ding Ying also launched her Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Spear.


    In the midst of the piercing noise, the spiraling green spearhead, akin to a cannonball, distorted the air and even split open the platform it passed by. Possessing a terrifying strength that could crush all protective spiritual lights, it collided with the tip of the Pure Green Flying Sword controlled by Chen


    Mobai.


    After a sharp boom, under the unbelieving gaze of the crowd, the Pure Green Flying Sword bloomed with an even clearer spiritual light, exploding with a horrifyingly powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi. It managed to break through Ding Ying¡¯s Heavenly Wood Spirit Light in a direct confrontation.


    After the Sword Qi split open the spiraling spearhead formed by Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, it continued its momentum, slashing straight towards Ding Ying.


    Petals of vibrant flying flowers spontaneously appeared out of thin air, forming into a robust talisman armor, and miraculously blocked the powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi in the nick of time.


    In the midst of the loud ¡°bang¡±, the reinforced platform shuddered violently. Ding Ying¡¯s body involuntarily drew back, again and again, and the protection of the flying flower talisman armor began to fade. It seemed on the verge of complete collapse. Her face drastically changed, and she used a secret technique that allowed her to boost her spiritual power at the expense of elemental energy.


    Blue and red halos intertwined and flickered on her beautiful face. In an instant, the green spirit force was swallowed up by the red spirit force.


    This was a method of using the ¡°Two Phased Technique¡±. Using Wood Attribute Spirit Force to sate the Fire Attribute Spirit Force, causing the latter to triple its power in an instant.


    With this as her trump card, Ding Ying had been able to keep her position as a True Disciple for over a decade.


    In a thought, the flying flower talisman armor that was on the verge of collapsing under the strike of the Divine Wood Sword Qi burst into an even brighter red light. The disappearing runes began to reappear, reassembling into a complete set of defensive talisman armour.


    And at that moment, the Divine Wood Sword Qi fully exploded. The clear Spiritual Light spread out, attracting nature¡¯s spiritual energy from the surroundings, transforming into a surge of Sword Qi which violently bombarded the flying flower talisman armor.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Rows of petal-shaped runes dimmed under the impact of the Sword Qi, breaking up and disappearing.


    Ding Ying could no longer sustain it. She spat out blood and got thrown out of the ring.


    ¡°This, this is impossible!¡±


    Disregarding the blood trickling from her mouth, she widened her eyes, struggling to get up from the ground and staring at Chen Mobai who recalled his flying Sword back to his side.


    She had faced the Divine Wood Sword before, how could it possibly be this strong?


    Even her prided ultimate attack, along with the flying flower talisman armor, were unable to deflect this powerful Sword Qi.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t sheathed his sword at the end, she might have lost her life on the spot.


    What on earth is this power?


    ¡°Sister Ding, thank you for the lesson.¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared calm, with a flick of his Sword, the Divine Wood Sword trembling slightly, like a swimming fish, flying into the storage bag at his waist.


    Defeating the enemy with a single blow and seeing Ding Ying¡¯s unwillingness, fear, and disbelief, Chen Mobai felt satisfaction seeping away at the frustration in his heart.


    But after that, he was left with a sense of emptiness and disillusionment.


    After a long wait, it seemed the elder presiding over this round was still in shock. Only after a while did he announce that Chen Mobai was the winner. As he stepped down the ring, he saw the astonished Qi Rui, with his mouth wide open, the shocked Xi Jing Huo, with a hand covering his mouth, and the stunned Zhuo Ming.


    Also, on top of the neighboring tavern, holding a wine glass in a daze, was Yuan Chiye along with the greatly shocked Liu Wen Bo standing beside him. ¡°Chen, from today onwards, your name will echo through the entire Divine Wood Sect just like Elder Hong He.¡±

    Qi Rui was overcome with emotion. He remembered the naive boy who was fumbling around when faced with the demonic beast¡¯s attack on Green Light Island.


    Back then, he did envision Chen Mobai becoming a part of the Divine Wood Sect, and maybe even a True Disciple. But he absolutely didn¡¯t think that in less than four years this innocent youth would grow so much.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to celebrate today, let¡¯s drink.


    Chen Mobai smiled and called out to Qi Rui and the others, planning to comfort him after his expected defeat, leading them towards their regular tavern.


    Luckily, Yuan Chiye was also there..

 Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Sword Training Part__l

    Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Sword Training Part__l


    Translator: 549690339


    However, by the time Chen Mobai and his group ascended to the second floor, Yuan Chiye had already left, apparently not through the front door but flew straight out of a second-story window.


    Really, how could the leader of a faction be so thin-skinned?


    Chen Mobai shook his head, only to realize that Liu Wenbo had not left yet.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Yuan said that Uncle E wants to see you after the sect¡¯s grand competition.¡±


    E Yun!


    Was he here just now?


    Chen Mobai nodded gently. Whether in terms of courtesy or reason, he wanted


    to express his gratitude to E Yun in person.


    ¡°Brother Chen, congratulations on becoming a true disciple.


    After delivering Yuan Chiye¡¯s message, Liu Wenbo respectfully bowed to Chen


    Mobai.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, let¡¯s all sit down.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately gestured for him to rise, then invited the four of them to sit.


    ¡°You have already reserved a Foundation Building Pill in the next batch. I just don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll get the chance.¡±


    Qi Rui sighed. He had quite a bit of confidence in himself, but the crushing defeat in the sect¡¯s grand competitions these last two years had truly shaken him.


    Regarding this, all Chen Mobai could do was console him.


    Honestly, those true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were all quite skilled.


    If he hadn¡¯t suppressed them solely based on his realm, and if he hadn¡¯t had the Divine Wood Sword, capable of displaying its full power, in his hand, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat Ding Ying in one sword blow.


    Qi Rui¡¯s realm was sufficient, and his Magic Duel experience rich, but he was missing a powerful killer move.


    Ding Ying, for example, had the dual-phase rotation, Heavenly Wood Talisman, and even the Flying Flower Talisman Armor-three powerful techniques. Most true disciples had one or two, and with such strength, she was already at the top among them all.


    Unfortunately, she met Chen Mobai, who suppressed others purely based on his realm. Facing the power of Core Formation, all three powerful techniques were broken and she was completely defeated.


    ¡°After Ding Ying was defeated by Brother Chen this year, the rune production department will naturally follow the flow and will no longer lend her the Flying Flower Talisman Armor. You¡¯re also part of the rune production department, so you might want to think about making a move.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo gave a suggestion. Hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.


    After Ding Ying was defeated, though there were still eight or nine individuals at Qi Cultivation Rank-9 in the rune production department queue, he at least had the chance to apply for a second-ranking rune formation.


    Unlike before, as long as Ding Ying did not step down, everyone else could only stare in van.


    ¡°Jing Huo, you¡¯re right. I wonder if you could help me out here. I¡¯ve been in the sect for twenty-three years and have accumulated some spirit stones and contributions.¡±


    Although Xi Jinghuo¡¯s cultivation level was ordinary, he had a Core Formation grandfather and pretty good Spiritual Root Talent, which made him one of the heavenly favored ones in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I have a bit of influence in our Sword Training Department, but I don¡¯t know anyone in your rune production department.¡±


    ¡°How about I transfer to your Sword Training Department?


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to transfer in, but our Sword Training Department¡¯s true disciple positions are first decided through internal sword duels each year. Even my senior brother Qi Hou, who is my grandfather¡¯s disciple, couldn¡¯t defeat senior brother Feng and thus couldn¡¯t obtain a second-tier flying sword.¡± Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words caused Qi Rui to sigh once again. Chen Mobai was helpless in this situation.


    In the end, the true disciple position hinged mainly on strength.


    ¡°However, next year our Sword Training Department is planning to organize a group to exchange studies at Golden Cliff. I¡¯m part of the group, and if you¡¯re willing to pay some spirit stones, we can go together.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been there once, but my path in the Red Flame Sword technique tends more towards rune techniques, so it doesn¡¯t align well with Golden Cliff¡¯s pure sword path.¡±


    ¡°Why not try training in dual-phase rotation?¡±


    In the end, Xi Jinghuo suggested another plan.


    Generally speaking, the strength disparity among those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation wouldn¡¯t be large. With secondary-rated talisman magic weapons, it could virtually determine the outcome of a match.


    But without considering external factors and judging based only on the spiritual power realm, those who practiced the dual-phase rotation technique undoubtedly had the advantage over those who specialized in one area.


    However, the benefits and drawbacks of the Dual-phase technique are quite evident.


    Only those with ample Spirit Stone resources and gifted Spiritual Root Talent can cultivate both techniques to the peak of Qi Cultivation.


    Qi Rui¡¯s Spiritual Root is decent, and he has also managed to save up some Spirit Stones over the years. If he wanted to cultivate the Dual-phase technique, he would have to invest all of these resources, even using his hard-earned contributions intended for the exchange of Foundation Building Pills on these cultivation resources.


    Moreover, while the resources needed during the Qi Cultivation phase of the Dual-phase technique are barely manageable, once one reaches Foundation Establishment, without the support of a sect or a prestigious family, it would be almost impossible for the cultivator to persist until Core Formation. Bear in mind that the previous generation¡¯s True Disciple, E Yun, did not practice the Dual-phase technique for this very reason, focusing solely on The Scripture of Everlasting Life.


    Having successfully established his Foundation, he is now regarded as having the potential to reach Core Formation.


    Thanks to not having the burden of the Dual-phase technique and the added century of life granted by The Scripture of Everlasting Life, as long as he doesn¡¯t experience a premature collapse, he can essentially be assured of reaching the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    As for whether he can reach Core Formation or not, that¡¯s entirely up to fate. ¡°Thank you for your advice, Brother Xi. I will give it some serious thought.¡± The words of Xi Jinghuo touched Qi Rui¡¯s heart, and he decided to withdraw and contemplate it further after finishing his drink.


    ¡°Brother Xi, I wonder if there are any restrictions for the Sword Training Department¡¯s quota for going to Golden Cliff?¡±


    The one asking this question was Liu Wenbo. Chen Mobai knew that he was also cultivating the Dual-phase technique, probably both The Scripture of Everlasting Life and the Red Flame Sword Jue. He too was on the path of a Sword Cultivator.


    ¡°The limit is one hundred people. Cultivators in the late stage of Qi Cultivation from our Sword Training Department are given priority. If there are any vacancies, they will be opened up to other departments.¡±


    -If you want to go, you can first give Brother Wen from our Sword Training Department a hundred Spirit Stones to reserve a spot.¡±


    ¡°If there is no place for you later on, these hundred Spirit Stones will be refunded back to you.¡±


    After hearing this, Liu Wenbo stood up and thanked Xi Jinghuo.


    ¡°Brother Chen, are you interested? I have noticed you practicing your sword skills, and it seems your achievements are quite impressive.


    Xi Jinghuo implied.


    Although his defeat of Ding Ying with one strike of the sword was seen by outsiders as the merit of his Rank-2 Magic Artifact, the Divine Wood Sword, as a disciple of the Sword Training Department, Xi Jinghuo knew that without a solid foundation in Sword Dao, even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage couldn¡¯t strike such a formidable sword blow.


    ¡°I will see, if there is a chance, I would like to visit Golden Cliff.


    This was, after all, the top sword sect in the Eastern Wilderness and the best ally of the Divine Wood Sect. The disciples of the two sects referred to each other as brothers.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s sword foundation, it was entirely elevated by the Casting Sword Ring.


    It was very unstable.


    The five of them drank until the end of this round of the True Disciple competition.


    The last one on stage was Yuan Chiye, who won quite effortlessly.


    However, after watching the competition, Chen Mobai knew that this time¡¯s sect competition was going to be a breeze for him.


    No one could match him!

    in the seventh round, his opponent was another True Disciple from last year. However, his secret body-forging technique, which was claimed to be invulnerable during the Qi Cultivation stage, ended up knocked unconscious on the ground, bleeding from all orifices, after withstanding seven consecutive strikes of the Divine Wood Sword Qi from Chen Mobai.


    In the eighth round, during the attention-grabbing twelve-to-six heats. Chen Mobai encountered the seventh ranked True Disciple from last year, from the Artifact Refining Department. Apart from a Rank-2 Magic Artifact borrowed from his department, he also had a Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon of his own.


    This battle was the most difficult one that Chen Mobai had encountered in the competition. He couldn¡¯t break through the opponent¡¯s Defensive Magic Weapon with conventional means.


    He could only use the Liquid Spiritual Power again to unleash the strongest attack of the Divine Wood Sword with the force equivalent to the Foundation Establishment level, and forcibly blast his opponent along with his Defensive Magic Weapon off the stage.


    He advanced to the ninth round..

    ¡°It¡¯s basically confirmed now.¡±


    After Chen Mobai defeated the true disciple of the Artifact Refining Department, two young men standing at the window of the restaurant, who had watched the entire battle, nodded slightly and said.


    ¡°He has reached the realm of Rainbow Sword Qi!¡±


    Hearing this, Ding Ying, who sat behind them, looked pale. She was initially considering revenge again in the next event.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the rumors to be true. Indeed, only a peerless genius could understand the third realm of sword cultivation before even establishing their foundation.¡±


    The other man, with a broad and robust physique and bearing high spirits, watched Chen Mobai casually stepping off the stage after defeating his opponent, his eyes sparking with a strong fighting spirit.


    ¡°Nephew Feng, what are your chances if you cross swords with him?¡± Zhou Wangshen asked Feng Hongxue who was sitting beside him. Feng


    Hongxue, the elder brother of the Sword Training Department, closed his eyes and recalled the sword strike dealt by Chen Mobai just now.


    After a long time, he opened his eyes and shook his head.


    ¡°I have no chances at all. In the Qi Cultivating Realm, nobody can withstand his sword!¡±


    After saying this, Feng Hongxue faced Ding Ying apologetically.


    ¡°Junior Sister Ding, I intended to help you take your revenge, but I can¡¯t beat this man.¡±


    Hearing this, Ding Ying still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up.


    ¡°Uncle Zhou, my dispute with him is all because of Sister Yin. With his current momentum, if he truly succeeds in Foundation Establishment, I may not be able to stay in the sect for the rest of my life.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will personally help you resolve this.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen nodded, his eyes fixating on Chen Mobai below while he continued to ask Feng Hongxue.


    ¡°His next opponent is Mu Yuan, the treasured disciple of our Sect Leader. Who do you think will win?¡±


    As last year¡¯s number one true disciple, Feng Hongxue answered without any hesitation.


    ¡°Regardless of how strong Mu Yuan is, I have confidence in defeating him, but against the realm of Rainbow Sword Qi, I don¡¯t even have the courage to challenge.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhou Wangshen wore a smile on his face.


    ¡°Indeed, our Divine Wood Sect is blessed.¡±


    ¡°Since we parted ways from the Five Elements Sect, we not only have Elder Fu¡¯s Core Formation but also a shocking genius like Brother Hong He, and a Heavenly Spiritual Root disciple. Now, we even have a peerless Sword


    Cultivation Genius.¡±


    ¡°When I succeed as the Sect Leader in the future, I¡¯ll have plenty of talents under my command. Maybe we can reunify the Five Elements under the name of Divine Wood.¡±


    Hearing Zhou Wangshen¡¯s words, Ding Ying knew that in the future days in Divine Wood Sect, she would probably need to avoid Chen Mobai.


    Compared to a peerless genius who grasped Rainbow Sword Qi within the Qi Cultivation Realm, she, as a mere true disciple, may not even be one-tenth as important as Chen Mobai in the eyes of the sect¡¯s upper echelon.


    Unless, she succeeded in Foundation Establishment!


    It appeared that she couldn¡¯t delay any longer. Originally hesitant about taking the Foundation Building Pill, Ding Ying finally made up her mind after hearing Zhou Wangshen¡¯s words.


    [Maybe, this is the opportunity for me to establish my foundation.] Ding Ying thought so, and at this moment, Zhou Wangshen took out a Talisman and handed it to Feng Hongxue.


    ¡°This is¡­ the Spirit Leaf Talisman!¡±


    As the elder sister of the Talisman Maker¡¯s Department, seeing this Talisman, Ding Ying couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes.


    This was a precious talisman made from the leaves of the sect¡¯s Rank-3 Golden Yang Wood. Its highest potential rank was Rank- 3, making it one of the most potent defensive talismans in the lineage of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Makers.


    ¡°The talisman I created had a defect, it¡¯s only intermediate grade Rank-2. But it should be enough to withstand Chen Guixian¡¯s sword.¡±


    After receiving this talisman, Feng Hongxue, whose eyes were initially half-closed, instantly opened them, his fighting spirit ignited.


    ¡°Sword Qi Long Rainbow is a level that only Foundation Establishment sword cultivators can achieve. Even if he¡¯s a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, at the Qi Cultivating Realm, he can only release one sword strike at most. If I can manage to handle his attack, I might be able to defeat him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Ying started to get excited. Indeed, Zhou Wangshen, with his proud spirit, wouldn¡¯t stand by and let Chen Mobai oppress him for ten years like Hong He did.


    However, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s next words sent chills down her spine. ¡°After you defeat him, raise your hand and forfeit, and let him have the first position among the true disciples.¡±


    Even Feng Hongxue, who held the Spirit Leaf Talisman in his hand, hadn¡¯t expected Zhou Wangshen to say such a thing, and his hand holding the talisman suddenly stiffened.


    ¡°Uncle Zhou, is this really proper?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s improper about it? You can only win against him if you have my talisman. Based on true power, the first position among the true disciples should have been his in the first place, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    As Zhou Wangshen said these words, his eyes, like bronze bells, looked at Feng Hongxue who met his gaze stubbornly. But after pondering for a while, he had to admit that he was right.


    Indeed, considering their true power, in the Qi Cultivating Realm, Chen Mobai can indeed be said to be unrivaled.


    ¡°I understand,¡± vouched Feng Hongxue.


    After hearing this, Zhou Wangshen nodded in satisfaction, then got up and left. When Chen Mobai was stepping off the stage, he felt many eyes watching him, one of them even gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    It must be a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    But having defeated Ding Ying, he had already become accustomed to these kinds of gazes.


    The next round was the battle he was looking forward to the most in this sect tournament.


    He walked to the bottom of another arena, and the Divine Wood Sect disciple who recognized him immediately made way for him.


    Chen Mobai thanked him and then went to the bottom of the stage.


    The two fighters on the stage were Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye.


    Chen Mobai was sure that the person who arranged this battle chart must have confirmed this fight first before arranging for others.


    Before he burst into the scene, the magic duel between Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye was without a doubt, the most anticipated one by the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    Last year, Mu Yuan narrowly lost to Yuan Chiye, but this year, after a year of intense cultivating, both his spiritual power and his spells are more refined, almost a perfect copy of E Yun.


    It¡¯s still uncertain whether Yuan Chiye can suppress him this year.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen, who do you think will win?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who had been following Chen Mobai these days, couldn¡¯t help but ask as she watched the duel.


    ¡°I hope Mu Yuan wins.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother Yuan is not bad, I was originally hoping that he would win.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. ¡°I just said that I hope Mu Yuan wins, because I don¡¯t want to knock Brother Yuan off the stage, and also hoping to shake off the regret of last year¡¯s defeat.¡± As Chen Mobai had predicted, the outcome was just as expected.


    Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye contributed the most exciting duel of this sect tournament. Both of them were EQUAL in strength and their understanding and utilization of their Cultivation Techniques and spells were at their peak. Even rank-2 Magic Artifacts were at their command.


    It was a pity that Mu Yuan¡¯s sharpness was superior. In the end, Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t want to deplete his elemental energy to perform the Dual-phase Rotation. After the final spell duel, he voluntarily stepped off the stage.


    This meant that in the ninth round, Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent would be Mu Yuan. The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived; just before Foundation Establishment, this sect tournament was the perfect opportunity to address all the regrets in his heart..

 Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Sword Raising _1

    Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Sword Raising _1


    Translator: 549690339


    The head of the Divine Wood Sect is Meng Hong, a seemingly kind-hearted elder with white hair.


    He particularly likes fishing. There is a Rank-3 water vein lake in the middle of Giant Tree Ridge where he regularly goes.


    Today, Mu Yuan was planning to participate in the ninth round of the Sect¡¯s competition, but Meng Hong unexpectedly called him over.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, your opponent today is powerful, if you feel you can¡¯t hold on, concede directly.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Mu Yuan, who had originally lowered his head, immediately looked up, his face showing absolute disbelief.


    In Mu Yuan¡¯s mind, he thought,[I have already defeated Yuan Chiye. The only ones who pose a threat are Feng Hongxue and Mo Yingyang. What can Chen Guixian, who couldn¡¯t withstand even a single move from me last year, do?] Of course, he could not voice these thoughts out loud. Mu Yuan merely frowned and muttered one sentence.


    ¡°I will never lose!¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Hong didn¡¯t feel like explaining further and just waved his hand, signaling Mu Yuan to leave.


    ¡°This boy is talented, only his pride is a bit of an issue. After this Sect competition, should I send him out for some experience?¡±


    After Mu Yuan left, another grey-haired elder appeared. He was the leader of the mysterious witchcraft division, and his name was Cang Qi.


    He sat with Meng Hong, both of them holding fishing poles and enjoying their favorite pastime.


    ¡°That was the original plan, but with the Foundation Building Pill anticipated to be ready in two months, I was thinking of giving him an opportunity after he becomes the first True Disciple.¡±


    ¡°Originally? So, you are not thinking of doing so now?¡±


    Upon hearing Cang Qi¡¯s query, Meng Hong just chuckled and didn¡¯t respond directly. Instead, he asked another question.


    ¡°I asked you to investigate Chen Guixian¡¯s background. What do you reckon?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a diligent cultivator. After entering Giant Tree Ridge, apart from cultivating, he focuses on farming and brewing wine. He visits Divine Wood City a few times a year at most to consult on spirit plants and have a drink with a few of his friends from the Sect. However, it¡¯s strange that during his first year after joining the Sect, he didn¡¯t participate in the grand competition.¡± After listening to Cang Qi, Meng Hong nodded, then picked up his fishing pole and caught a carp with red scales. It was released back into the water after which, Meng Hong began to speak about another matter related to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°He¡¯s seen as Sun Gaochang¡¯s man. I also made some inquiries a few days ago. It seems he has always been very interested in the Foundation Building Pill that has been under process.¡±


    ¡°Ah, so you mean if it were not for this queue for the Foundation Building Pill, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have even taken part in the Sect¡¯s competition for the last two years?¡±


    ¡°Most likely, if we didn¡¯t have this catalyst, we might have to wait for the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to mature before we discovered the hidden Sword Cultivation Genius within the Sect.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s conversation made Cang Qi ponder. In the entire history of the Eastern Wilderness, there have only been a handful of extraordinary talents who understudied the third realm of Sword Cultivation Technique and could utilise it without suffering major injuries to their elemental energy, before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°So, you mean, the Foundation Building Pill that the elder brother is preparing should be reserved for him?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see how it pans out. After all, with a stroke of luck, the pill could yield two to three pieces. Also, we are merely speculating here. What if this Chen Guixian desires perfection in Foundation Establishment and prefers to wait for an orthodox Foundation Building Pill rather than the Demonic beasts¡¯?¡± Hearing this, Cang Qi understood that, in reality, Meng Hong was slightly biased towards Mu Yuan.


    The fact that the Demonic beasts¡¯ Foundation Building Pill is still in preparation is indeed fortuitous for the Divine Wood Sect. If Mu Yuan ingests it, and it leads to direct success in Foundation Establishment, then all the better.


    Even if it fails, he can wait seven years for the orthodox Foundation Building Pill from Back to Sky Valley and try Foundation Establishment for the second time.


    Generally, dual Spiritual Root geniuses have more than a fifty percent probability of success after two attempts at Foundation Establishment.


    It was indeed a good plan at first.


    However, Chen Guixian emerged halfway and caused disruption.


    According to the Sect¡¯s rules, if the First True Disciple needs a Foundation Building Pill, he needs to be supplied first.


    There¡¯s nothing even the Sect Leader can do.


    Unless there are private negotiations to make him voluntarily give up.


    But, according to the information Cang Qi collected on Chen Guixian, it is clear that this man is completely dedicated to his cultivation practices.


    Even before he reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he had already been asking Ding Ying and other True Disciples whether they were selling Foundation Building Pills.


    Now, he has reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and has comprehended Rainbow Sword Qi, a Foundation Establishment level power. No more needs to be said.


    Even if the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple blocks his path, he probably wouldn¡¯t show any respect.


    ¡°Chen Guixian is originally from Yun Country, and it seems like E Yun has some ties with him.¡±


    Cang Qi reminded Meng Hong indirectly, but Meng Hong just shook his head.


    ¡°I asked him as well, but it¡¯s just rumors. E Yun tried to recruit him, but a man of ¡®iron-hearted Sword Dao¡¯ like him would never agree to live under someone else. He flatly refused, leaving no room for discussion.¡±


    ¡°Having such a genius as him in our Sect is fortunate, but shouldn¡¯t we investigate his background to ensure he isn¡¯t sent by another sect?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong nodded and pulled out another file to hand to the grey-haired elder next to him.


    ¡°When E Yun recruited him, he had already launched an investigation. Although he¡¯s a lone cultivator, based on some details he unwittingly revealed, we were able to trace his path to Immortal Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°E Yun found a Water Mansion, and I had my eyes and ears at Kunyuan Mountain investigate it. They confirmed it was an offshoot of the Five Elements Sect before the family split. They also found the town guard of the mansion beforehand, a man named Liu Yanpei who practiced Blackwater Cultivation. Unfortunately, it seems he fled out of fear during our family¡¯s split. Later, when he resurfaced, the Five Elements Sect regarded him as a traitor and chased him down to kill him.¡±


    ¡°Chen Guixian stumbled upon his immortal fate. He got separated from his family amidst the chaos of change of regime and entered the Water Mansion whose formation was weakened due to Liu Yanpei¡¯s escape. He acquired Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation technique and commenced his journey of Immortal Cultivation. He used to sell the Black Water Cultivation Technique in South Creek Fang Market in order to attain Spirit Stones. He also revealed his Cold Ice Technique when defending against Demonic beasts on Green Light Island. All these clues match.¡±


    After reading this background check, Cang Qi couldn¡¯t help but nod his head.


    Compared to other lone cultivators, Chen Guixian could be considered innocent.


    ¡°Most importantly, if he was a spy sent by another sect, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cultivate such an excellent Sword Dao Realm.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s words made sense to Cang Qi.


    Most Sword Cultivators reflect their Dao heart in their Sword hearts.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Those with conspiracies and calculations in their hearts will never be able to master Rainbow Sword Qi at the Qi Cultivation Realm.


    Chen Guixian is simply an earnest cultivator devoted to Sword Cultivation.


    ¡°He may surpass Hong He in the future, but he may also fall more easily than Hong He.¡±


    Cang Qi sighed. Most Sword Cultivators won¡¯t give in easily. As Chen Guixian progresses on his Sword Dao, his character might become even more radical. ¡°He probably knows this, which is why he engages in farming and brewing, to temper his Sword heart. Unless something major crops up in the Sect in the future, let him continue his strenuous cultivation in Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this sword should be well nurtured within the sect. When it¡¯s unsheathed, it will definitely shock the entire Eastern Wilderness..¡±

 Chapter 216 - Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Domain Expansion_l

    Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Domain Expansion_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai had no idea that his mere application of liquid spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment level to wield the maximum strength of the Divine Wood Sword had led the Divine Wood Sect to acclaim him as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation.


    There was just one thing on his mind right now.


    Defeating his current opponent to avenge his humiliating defeat last year.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re capable of, but against me, you have no choice but to lose.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could even reply, Mu Yuan took the initiative to speak. After he finished speaking, he directly activated a light-blue talisman.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman!


    But unlike Ding Ying, he activated this talisman in conjunction with a lightly gray-green seed.


    The moment the seed hit the ground, it immediately sprouted, instantaneously transforming into a three-meter-high tree with a crown as radiant as the morning clouds.


    Since Chen Mobai had previously only exchanged for the cultivation method of the Scripture of Longevity and had not exchanged for any corresponding spells, he was unaware that this Heavenly Wood Talisman was the corresponding talisman for the most powerful ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± of the Scripture of Longevity. It is also the most perfect and robust magic system in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Above Green Light Island, Chen Mobai had already witnessed the prowess of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±. It includes cultivation of the spirit veins, gathering spiritual energy, attacking with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, defending with a Spirit Leaves Light Shield, and can be regarded as the most all-rounded formation with no blind spots.


    The highest culmination of the Scripture of Longevity¡¯s cultivation leads to becoming the formation itself.


    Wherever you are, you become a ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±, covering heaven and earth with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, sweeping through all directions.


    However, cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm certainly cannot achieve this.


    Therefore, before the Divine Wood lineage split from the Five Elements Sect, the Hun Yuan ancestor developed the ¡°Heavenly Wood Talisman¡± to assist Qi refining disciples in using the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman seals within it a spirit of wood which can make the prepared ¡°tree seed¡± grow instantly, transforming into the spirit tree array eye needed for the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    While the grade of this Heavenly Wood Talisman varies, most of its power still depends on the quality level of the tree seed.


    Although Ding Ying had a Rank-2 Heavenly Wood Talisman, the tree seed was only at Rank-1 peak. Naturally, it was incredibly powerful when facing the Qi Refining level, but against genuine Rank-2 Sword Qi, it could only end in devastation.


    However, the aura of Mu Yuan¡¯s tree seed was different. The luxuriantly verdant spirit tree that blossomed radiated a faint presence, reminding Chen Mobai of the spirit tree he had defended on Green Light Island.


    A Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree!


    Because Mu Yuan had used this move in his battle against Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai had already thoroughly investigated his moves.


    Even though he was quite confident in his own half-step Foundation Establishment realm, being confident does not mean being arrogant. He made it a point to ask about anything he didn¡¯t understand.


    As a second-generation immortal cultivator and practitioner of the dual-phase technique, Xi Jinghuo is very knowledgeable about the Scripture of Longevity.


    When Chen Mobai asked, he explained everything about the Heavenly Wood Talisman and tree seeds to him.


    Cultivators outside the Eastern Wilderness call the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s move¡ª ¡°Domain Expansion¡±.


    Once the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± is activated in the right spirit vein, even the formidable sword cultivators dare not fight head-on with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the formation cannot be moved once activated, the Divine Wood Sect would have long dominated the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, this weakness is perfectly compensated for in this kind of competition held in a ring with defined borders.


    It was precisely by relying on this move that Mu Yuan defeated Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°I hope that this time, you can withstand ten moves.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the words of Mu Yuan, he recalled last year¡¯s disastrous defeat where he was utterly powerless to fight back.


    ¡°Junior brother, that¡¯s exactly what I wanted to tell you.¡±


    But this time, Chen Mobai¡¯s confidence was entirely different.


    A mere peak Qi Refining Realm, under the suppression of the half-step Foundation Establishment Realm, could he actually go against the heavens?


    At this moment, Mu Yuan sneered and plucked two leaves from the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him.


    He flicked his finger, and a clear layer of Sword Attack Fly Flower appeared on the leaves, akin to two streaming lights, emitting a sharp whistling sound as they shot in front of Chen Mobai.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s understanding of the Sword Dao was also commendable, his move of Sword Training to become Gang, as shown in his Leaf Picking technique, reveals his exceptional talent.


    Seeing this move, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect watching the battle under the stage couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise.


    However, those who knew Chen Mobai¡¯s true abilities, like Zhou Wangshen on the second floor of the restaurant, couldn¡¯t help but sneer.


    In their opinion, Mu Yuan was like a beginner making a fool of himself before a unique sword cultivation genius.


    But it seemed that junior brother Chen did not want to be too harsh on Mu Yuan, he chose not to use his Rainbow Sword Qi realm but instead unleashed a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    Two fiery red sword auras burst forth, just enough to resist Mu Yuan¡¯s Sword Attack Fly Flower, causing a huge burst of sparks in mid-air.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Crimson Flame Dual Sword Talisman!¡±


    Seeing a talisman bursting with two bright red sword auras, the crowd below the stage was shocked. This kind of talisman, with its extremely low cost-effectiveness, was almost unsellable on the market.


    Did he refine it himself?!


    Just as this thought flashed through the minds of Zhou Wangshen and others, Chen Mobai took out eight Crimson Flame Sword Talismans with both hands.


    The brilliant red sword aura erupted, like a weaving of flowing light, covering Mu Yuan and his Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    A green leaf fell, conveniently landing in Mu Yuan¡¯s palm. His potent Longevity Spiritual Power surged out, and he immediately unleashed the ¡°Spirit Leaves Technique¡± in an instant.


    A huge light shield shaped like a giant leaf covered both him and the entire spirit tree, blocking in the incoming net of Crimson Flame Sword Qi.


    ¡°My spiritual power is being depleted rapidly. I need to end this quickly.¡±


    After stopping Chen Mobai¡¯s talisman bombardment, Mu Yuan felt that there was only about 80% of his spiritual power left in his body and felt he couldn¡¯t fall into his opponent¡¯s rhythm.


    His face shone with a green spiritual light. He stretched out his hand to pat the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him, then strands of green light were drawn out from the tree by him, converging into a clear, green spiritual light in his palm.


    It was the simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light previously used by Ding Ying ¨C the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light!


    Just then, Chen Mobai took out a gold bamboo leaf-shaped Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. As Mu Yuan¡¯s expression slightly changed, a purple flame sword aura appeared, like a thread of fire, bursting instantly before his forehead.


    It was the Crimson Flame Triple Sword Talisman!


    This strength was equivalent to the Rank-2 level. With no other choice, Mu Yuan could only take out a green spiritual pearl from his storage bag.


    Chen Mobai identified it as a grade-2 Azure Spirit Bead which, once filled with Spiritual Power, could form a phenomenal light shield.


    While battling Yuan Chiye, Mu Yuan had already completely exposed his trump cards.


    And Chen Mobai was waiting for precisely this moment. He intended to break through all of Mu Yuan¡¯s ultimate techniques and magical treasures, letting him experience the most complete defeat!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Just as Mu Yuan expelled a pure breath of Longevity Spiritual Power, morphing the Azure Spirit Bead into a light curtain that blocked the impressive Purple Fire Sword Aura, Chen Mobai also opened his storage bag.


    A vibrant green flying sword sprang out, like a lively spirit fish.


    ¡°He¡¯s finally getting serious!¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai finally unsheathed his sword, Zhou Wangshen and the others who knew his ¡°true skills¡± couldn¡¯t help but sigh for Mu Yuan.


    They knew that their Sect Leader junior brother¡¯s journey in the tournament had come to an end..

 Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Change in Attitude 1

    Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Change in Attitude 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Mu Yuan blocked the Purple Fire Sword Aura with the Azure Spirit Bead Without missing this opportunity, he burst out with a divine thought, and the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light condensed into a crescent shape amidst his ten fingers.


    It was his most powerful killing move that helped him victorious over Yuan Chiye in the previous round.


    Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade!


    In response, Chen Mobai also put forth his most powerful sword!


    This sword was hailed by Zhou Wangshen and others as the epitome of the Qi Cultivating Realm, the Sword Qi Long Rainbow!


    Two slender fingers stretched out, gently sliding over the green flying sword. The ordinary Divine Wood Sword, after being infused with a drop of liquid spiritual power, seemed to have been liberated entirely, inciting a vast amount of pure spiritual energy.


    It was like the dawn just breaking, initially, it was but a point, but before you knew it, it had pervaded the whole sky, transforming into boundless rainbow clouds, dazzlingly magnificent.


    The Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade, which Mu Yuan was proud of, held on only for a breath under the oncoming Sword Qi Long Rainbow. It then shattered into a large cluster of green light strands, which were then instantly dissolved by the sword qi.


    ¡°How can it be so powerful!!¡±


    Mu Yuan couldn¡¯t believe it, but he wanted to struggle again.


    This powerful sword qi must be his opponent¡¯s trump card, and he could not possibly have a second one.


    If he could hold on, he had the hope of turning defeat into victory.


    Not daring to hold back anymore, Mu Yuan swallowed a pill and spat out most of his spiritual energy, pumping it into the Azure Spirit Bead, pushing the defense of this Rank-2 magic artifact to its limit.


    Next, he took out a talisman, which transformed into a golden light shield covering his whole body.


    Finally, he slapped the trembling Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him while chanting, conjuring a strong defensive magic.


    The once vibrant, cloud-like towering tree suddenly withered and condensed in that moment. All the spirit of the wood transformed into a patch of lush green spirit leaves, forming another layer of defense behind the light curtain of the Azure Spirit Bead.


    However, be it the Azure Spirit Bead, the golden light shield, or even the Spirit Leaves Technique!


    When faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s dazzling sword, they were like waves hitting the shore, stirring up countless beads and sprays of water, and causing ripples.


    In the end, under the powerful power of the Sword Qi Long Rainbow, they calmed down.


    Mu Yuan vomited blood. His whole body couldn¡¯t hold once the triple defense was shattered and was thrown off the platform, falling heavily onto the ground.


    At this moment, Mu Yuan finally understood why the sect leader said that statement.


    [Today your opponent is a bit powerful, if you feel you can¡¯t hold on, just concede.]


    Is this being a bit powerful?


    This guy, he is a complete monster!


    It¡¯s completely unfair for the sect competition to let such a monster compete against them, a group of Qi practitioners.


    But for Mu Yuan, it was too late for regrets.


    He struggled to his feet, feeling the emptiness of his dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, but the fact that his body was unharmed showed that his opponent had held back.


    He looked up to see the young man on the stage who was weak last year, smiling at him and retrieving the once again ordinary Divine Wood Sword back into his storage bag with a sword-shape fingers.


    Had he not experienced it himself, Mu Yuan would never have believed that this fellow, in the Qi Cultivating Realm, could unleash such a terrifying sword.


    At this point, he thought of the Sword Cultivation Realm he first came across when he started to practice sword techniques.


    Comparing with the text in his memory, Mu Yuan recognized it.


    It was the third stage of sword cultivation, Sword Qi like a rainbow!


    [So, they recognized it long ago, and I was just too arrogant¡­]


    At this thought, Mu Yuan¡¯s pride from defeating Yuan Chiye was gone entirely. Compared to Chen Mobai, who had understood the Sword Qi like a rainbow in the Qi Cultivating Realm, they, all of them, were a joke.


    ¡°I lost!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Mu Yuan solemnly conceded to him.


    ¡°I know you lost.¡±


    ¡°From now on, you will be my second rival.¡±


    Leaving these words behind, Mu Yuan bowed to Chen Mobai, then turned and left looking pale.


    ¡°This guy, at least he can accept defeat.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow, watching Mu Yuan¡¯s retreating figure, thinking that this complete defeat he was dealt might actually do him some good.


    But even if Mu Yuan had made further progress after this battle, he was still just an outsider to Chen Mobai.


    That¡¯s because Chen Mobai was about to become the top core disciple and get the Foundation Building Pill.


    Once he completes the Foundation Establishment, he will be considered an elder of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Only the final round remained.


    Despite Chen Mobai¡¯s composure, he could not help but feel some fluctuation in his thoughts at this point.


    That night, they were at the usual tavern.


    The only difference was that Yuan Chiye had joined them.


    ¡°I never even considered that you could grow this powerful in less than four years.¡±


    Raising his glass of wine and sighing, Yuan Chiye vividly remembered how he had initially introduced Chen Mobai to the sect.


    The kindness of Yuan senior leading the way, I keep in mind.¡±


    Chen Mobai toasted Yuan Chiye, who, while relaxed days before, seemed a bit restrained now.


    After all, the handsome young man in front of him was basically certain to successfully establish his foundation.


    Even if the pill produced by Elder Zeng did not help him achieve Foundation Establishment, his unrivaled Qi Cultivating Realm meant he could hold the top core disciple position until he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, or until he exceeded his sixties.


    But thinking about it, with this man¡¯s heaven-defying comprehension ability, coupled with his almost dual attribute top-tier True Spirit Root talent, there ¡® was a high probability of him successfully completing the Foundation Establishment on the first try.


    After all, the current talk of the Divine Wood Sect was all about Chen Guixian¡¯s unparalleled talent, surpassing even Hong He, who had suppressed the previous generation of core disciples for ten years.


    ¡°Elder E Yun said that he will discuss meeting with you whenever you have time.¡±


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s words left Chen Mobai surprised. Were the core elders of the


    Divine Wood Sect so generous to the top core disciples, even offering to arrange their meetings?


    But Chen Mobai still understood his position.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to thank Elder E Yun personally. Just like we agreed before,


    we¡¯ll meet after the sect¡¯s grand competition.¡±


    ¡°Very good, very good. I¡¯ll report this to Elder E Yun right away.¡±


    After conveying his message rather awkwardly, Yuan Chiye put down his glass and stood up. He signaled Liu Wenbo to continue drinking with Chen Mobai as he excused himself.


    Is Elder E Yun very scary? Why did senior Yuan look so constrained just delivering a message?¡±

    Chen Mobai asked Liu Wenbo in curiosity. Not knowing how to answer, the latter could only manage a stiff smile and took a drink to hide his uncertainty.


    Xi Jinghuo, who was at the side, rolled his eyes, but after interacting with Chen


    Mobai for the past two years, he knew that Chen Mobai was always like this.


    To the matters he was less concerned about, he appeared incredibly obtuse.


    However, it was perhaps this pure and simple nature that allowed him to achieve such a formidable Sword Dao Realm while in the Qi Cultivation stage!

 Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Second Sword l

    Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Second Sword l


    Translator: 549690339


    The grand tournament of the Divine Wood Sect had finally reached the last round that Chen Mobai eagerly anticipated.


    The three True Disciples had taken their positions in the arena.


    Apart from Chen Mobai, there was also last year¡¯s champion, Feng Hongxue, from the Sword Training Branch.


    The last competitor was Li Yixian, last year¡¯s tenth place but had surged into the top three this year as a True Disciple of the Puppet Branch.


    After the trio had stood there for a while, Meng Hong, the Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect, descended from the sky with two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Very good, you all did well,¡± Meng Hong commented after a glance at the three, then chuckled and took his seat. On his left, Cang Qi announced the start of the final round.


    ¡°Each of you will face off against each other. If the results are all one win and one loss, then the three of us old fellows will decide the ranking of the True Disciples.¡±


    The importance of the ranking of the twenty-four True Disciples lay in the top three positions. As long as one ranked among the True Disciples, they would be guaranteed a Foundation Building Pill, one Rank-2 quality Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, and an extra benefit of 200 spirit stones each year.


    ¡°Both of my seniors are people I greatly admire. It¡¯s a blessing that I¡¯ve made it this far. I¡¯ll take the third position,¡± said Li Yixian.


    Li Yixian was a tall, chubby young man with a gentle demeanor.


    His jump from last year¡¯s tenth to the final round this year was due his mastery of a peak Rank-1 Red Sun Puppet, in addition to a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    However, in the top six round, he faced a True Disciple from the Spirit Beasts Branch. Despite a hard-won victory, his Puppet sustained significant damage from the opponent¡¯s counter-attacks, greatly reducing its power.


    Still, he knew very well that even if his puppet was intact, he would have a twenty to thirty percent chance of victory against Feng Hongxue.


    Yet, after witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishing swordplay that defeated Mu Yuan in the previous round, Li Yixian knew he¡¯d only stand a chance if he upgraded the Red Sun Puppet to a Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet.


    Otherwise, even ten Red Sun Puppets wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Qi Long Rainbow¡ªthey would only end up as junk metal and broken wood.


    Since he had no way of winning against Chen Mobai and felt no need to fight Feng Hongxue, he chose to concede directly.


    Li Yixian¡¯s sense of timing earned an approving glance from Meng Hong, who had just settled down.


    ¡°This youngster knows when to advance and retreat. If he can reach Foundation Establishment in the future, we should prioritize cultivating him,¡± said Meng Hong.


    Cang Qi nodded in agreement, taking note of this True Disciple from the Puppet Branch.


    ¡°You two may begin.¡±


    After Li Yixian exited the arena, Chen Mobai and Feng Hongxue took their positions upon hearing Cang Qi¡¯s words, each nodding in acknowledgement.


    [Win as quickly as possible.]


    After defeating Ding Ying and Mu Yuan, Chen Mobai, who no longer held any regrets, strategized for a quick and decisive victory. He opened his storage bag and pulled out the Divine Wood Sword, holding it carefully by his fingertips.


    [So this is the demeanor of a Sword Cultivator ¨C straightforward and decisive. Are you planning to defeat me with a single move? That¡¯s just what I want.] Witnessing the pure green Flying Sword leap and harness the sprinkling pure Elemental Energy, transforming into a beautiful sword rainbow that blanketed the sky, Feng Hongxue¡¯s countenance remained unchanged, but his heart stirred with joy.


    If Chen Mobai relied on his superior Sword Dao Realm to break down each of his moves, giving him the same comprehensive defeat as he did to Mu Yuan, Feng Hongxue might really be unable to withstand it.


    However, seeing that Chen Mobai¡¯s first move was the Ultimate Killing Sword Technique, Feng Hongxue was confident that the Spirit Leaf Talisman given by Zhou Wangshen could perform flawlessly.


    Even though he had to admit defeat in the end, Feng Hongxue hoped to leave a lasting impression in the eyes of this unparalleled Sword Dao genius.


    Who knew whether a casual bit of guidance from Chen Mobai in the future could help him break through the longstanding bottleneck in his Sword Training?


    The dazzling Sword Rainbow shot at him, like a sunrise falling. Yet, just when everyone thought Feng Hongxue was about to be defeated, he pulled out a golden leaf.


    After the injection of spiritual power, the veins on the leaf began to emit a powerful spiritual light. They transformed into a translucent shield in the shape of a leaf, blocking the Sword Qi Long Rainbow unleashed by Chen Mobai. A Qi Refining Realm simply could not withstand such a powerful attack.


    ¡°Spirit Leaf Talisman!¡±


    Seeing this, Meng Hong¡¯s aged eyes flickered. Recalling Feng Hongxue¡¯s personal dossier, he quickly understood.


    ¡°Using such a talisman for the battle of true disciples is somewhat wasteful.¡±


    The head of the power-transfer department on the right, Lu Yi, grumbled thus. Regardless of whether it is a magic artifact or a talisman, the price of defensive ones always exceeds that of offensive ones. This Spirit Leaf Talisman, if sold outside in the Fang Market, could fetch thousands of spirit stones.


    Some impoverished true disciples may not even earn this much in a year.


    ¡°However, in doing this, Feng Hongxue may have a chance to win.¡±


    With an unchanged complexion, Cang Qi began to analyze the situation on the field.


    He and Zhou Wangshen thought the same; even if Chen Mobai was extraordinarily talented, he was still only at the Qi Refining Realm. It was estimated that this Sword Qi Long Rainbow could only be used once, pushing him to his limit.


    If this strike did not defeat his opponent, he was likely to lose due to massive energy loss.


    In this case, the ownership of the batch of Foundation Building Pills made by their junior brother might be in jeopardy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if my guess is correct, Feng Hongxue will eventually concede.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s statement took Cang Qi and Lu Yi by surprise, but they soon frowned, especially Lu Yi, who seemed not to agree with this course of action.


    ¡°It¡¯s too deliberate. Although Zhou Wangshen is a descendant of Elder Zhou, his tactics are somewhat crude. Trying to win over someone like a sword cultivators like this might backfire.¡±


    ¡°If it were anyone else, that might be the case. However, he is, after all, a descendant of Elder Zhou. Even if Chen Mobai knows, he would still want to save some face.¡±


    As Cang Qi and Lu Yi disagreed, on the ring, Chen Mobai calmly sheathed his Divine Wood Sword after seeing Feng Hongxue use the Spirit Leaf Talisman to block the Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, although it may seem a little underhanded, I still would like you to critique my swordsmanship.¡±


    Facing Feng Hongxue¡¯s respectful request, Chen Mobai was slightly anxious inside.


    This guy shouldn¡¯t have a second Spirit Leaf Talisman, right!


    [Forget it, I don¡¯t care. I can still strike one more time. If he can handle it, I¡¯ll admit defeat. Hopefully, by then, Senior Uncle Zeng will have two successful Foundation Building Pills.]


    Chen Mobai felt at ease.


    However, the others didn¡¯t know his internal thoughts and assumed he was just putting on a straight face.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this sword technique of mine is called ¡®Flying Swans in Snow¡¯¡­¡±


    Just as Feng Hongxue was about to perform his proudest technique, he saw the serious-looking youthful opponent on the opposite side flicking his Divine Wood Sword. Then, again, an extraordinarily pure elemental energy was drawn in, transforming into a brilliant Sword Rainbow, rushing towards him.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    Without the Spirit Leaf Talisman, Feng Hongxue couldn¡¯t resist at all. His sword broke, he vomited blood, and he was knocked unconscious.

    Chen Mobai had decided that this sword would determine victory or defeat. He injected all his remaining spiritual power, except for the last drop of liquid spiritual power, into the Divine Wood Sword.


    The power was stronger than the first time!


    He hadn¡¯t controlled it well.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Cang Qi who, always vigilant, guided the residual power of this sword strike towards the sky, Feng Hongxue might have been severely injured, if not killed.


    Indeed, those of sword cultivators are known for their fiery tempers..

 Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Chapter 219 The Weight of Being the Number One Inherited Disciple _1

    Chapter 219: Chapter 219 The Weight of Being the Number One Inherited Disciple _1


    Translator: 549690339


    The day after the sect¡¯s grand competition came to a close.


    Chen Mobai was taken by Yuan Chiye to a courtyard in the Divine Wood City.


    Though the courtyard was not large, there was a towering tree at its center, so large that it would take two people to fully embrace it. Despite it being winter, the tree was lush with dense branches and numerous leaves.


    A youth clad in a black robe, with ordinary features, sat on a bench beneath the massive tree. He had already prepared a pot of tea, and welcomed Chen Mobai with a smile as he entered.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master E Yun.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had met this well-known disciple of the sect leader.


    The reigning leader of Divine Wood Sect ¨C Meng Hong, had six private disciples. Apart from the eldest disciple who passed away early due to his lack of talent, the rest were all exceptionally talented.


    The second and third disciples had already achieved Foundation Establishment.


    The fourth disciple was none other than Zhou Wangshen, the fifth disciple being E Yun. The two complemented each other, for the past decade, they traded seats as the number one true disciple if not for the sudden emergence of Hong He.


    The sixth disciple was Mu Yuan, who likely would have been the leading Qi cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect for the next decade if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Please take a seat.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye sat down. E Yun looked fairly ordinary in the crowd.


    His stature was average, his appearance and demeanor were all exceedingly ordinary. ¡ãy


    While conversing with Chen Mobai, it felt as if they were talking as two passengers on a bus, enjoying a chat to pass the time during a long journey. They spoke about everything: from various places to personal lives, nothing was left undiscussed.


    They felt like travelers on a road trip, enjoying tea and chatting until the day turned into dusk before they knew it.


    The entire experience was extremely comfortable.


    ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t had the chance to thank Uncle Master E Yun for saving me before.¡±                              5


    Chen Mobai was referring to the time when he was pursued by the South Mountain Thieves in the territory of Yun Country.


    ¡°At that time, you had already joined our Divine Wood Sect. If there were rogue cultivators chasing our disciples, naturally, I couldn¡¯t ignore it.¡±


    E Yun brushed it off as a minor matter.


    ¡°I Still have to thank you in person. If there are any tasks in the sect in the future, feel free to delegate them to me.¡±


    Whether or not he would agree, he would decide when the time comes. That was what Chen Mobai was thinking at the time.


    He figured, anyhow, he would have to pick a side in the Divine Wood Sect To avoid further complications, he might as well stick with the person before him.


    At the very least, E Yun truly had been kind to him.


    And it was moreover due to their efforts that he managed to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Our sect leader has achieved perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, and is about to prepare for Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°Before he enters secluded cultivation, he hopes that we disciples can compete With each other to cultivate a leader who is most suitable to guide the Divine Wood Sect for the next hundred years.¡±


    ¡°The second and third brothers are not interested in this, their hearts are set on cultivating the Dao, therefore he is grooming Brother Zhou, me, and little brother Mu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not particularly interested, but if I wish to further my cultivation, being the sect leader is indeed a good shortcut, hence I am obliged to compete with my brothers.¡±


    ¡°Chen brother, you are an unparalleled genius, and you are a sword cultivator who is most dedicated and pure in pursuing the Dao. You probably would not take interest in such matters.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you just need to cultivate your sword at your own pace in the sect. After all, the growth of your astonishing sword, is for me the greatest achievement.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel slightly confused.


    He had achieved first place among the true disciples, barely fitting the label ¡öunparalleled genius,¡¯ but when had he become a dedicated and purely dao-oriented sword cultivator?


    Moreover, being a sect leader was something he also took interest in.


    However, even though he didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai wisely didn¡¯t ask, instead posing a question about the matter he was most concerned about.


    ¡°I heard that Uncle Master had been refining a batch of Foundation Building Pills. May I know if I can exchange some contributions for one?¡±


    This was his primary motivation to become the top true disciple. However, after the Sect competition, Meng Hong and the two elders flew away aughing, which made Chen Mobai, who had intended to ask the sect leader about this matter, had to hold his patience until now.


    If it succeeds and at least one pill is formed, if you want it, it will be yours.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words were resolute and decisive, which eased Chen Mobai¡¯s worries.


    It seems that his hard work to become the first true disciple wasn¡¯t in vain.


    The internal atmosphere of the Divine Wood Sect was pretty good, amazingly there were no hidden rules, they just followed the order of exchange as stated.


    However, Chen Mobai, who was thinking this way, didn¡¯t know, if he hadn¡¯t shown his unparalleled swordsmanship talent in the sect competition, things wouldn¡¯t have been so smooth, and E Yun wouldn¡¯t have been so certain.


    ¡°Today, I have just received my Spirit Rice. Let¡¯s taste it together.¡±


    E Yun took out some precious rank-2 Spirit Rice, which was Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice specifically provided by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Plant Department to the Foundation Establishment elders.


    Chen Mobai tasted it and found it to be truly extraordinary. Besides being soft fragrant, and glutinous, it even carried a hint of bamboo aroma. Once ingested, it transformed into cool energy that merged with his vital energy, nourishing ¡¯ his essence. His mind even felt slightly clearer.


    Upon inquiring, he learned that this Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was an upgraded variant of Yubud Lingmi. However, the seeds needed to be buried in the joints of mature Jade Bamboo for it to grow.


    After the Spirit Rice matured, the elemental energy within an acre of rank-2 Jade Bamboo would be completely drained, turned into nourishment for the growth of Spirit Rice.


    Such method was indeed curious as it resulted in wasted bamboo.


    Chen Mobai made a mental note of this, planning to look for related knowledge about Spirit Plants in the Book Pavilion after achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.


    After all, once he established his foundation, the rank-1 Spirit Rice wouldn¡¯t be of much use to him. Only continual consumption of rank-2 Spirit Rice could enhance his vital energy and strengthen his physique.


    Even though it was possible to purchase from the Immortals¡¯ side, homegrown always taste better.


    After finishing the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye bid their farewells and left.


    ¡°In the future, in the sect, you can just focus on sword training, no matter who asks you to do anything, you can just push it all onto me.¡±


    E Yun personally saw them to the door, before leaving he turned to Chen Mobai and said these words with a serious expression.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply thought that since he had become first true disciple, and was seen as the future Foundation Establishment cultivator, this was why he was valued so much.


    After talking with E Yun, Chen Mobai proceeded to the Spirit Plant Department.


    He hadn¡¯t forgotten that the Divine Wood Sword was borrowed and needed to


    be returned after the sect competition.


    However, as soon as he entered the Spirit Plant Department, he noticed a complete change in the attitudes of the people there towards him.


    ¡°Brother Chen¡­no, Senior Brother Chen, you¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    ¡°Brother Teng, there¡¯s no need to be so formal.¡±


    Teng Jie, who was on duty at the Spirit Plant Department, saw Chen Mobai entering. His attitude was beyond courteous, leaving Chen Mobai completely unprepared.


    Before they could exchange much conversation, Lu Jun, who had received the news, rushed over, his attitude even more respectful.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Inspector Sun knew you were coming and he has been waiting


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    for you since early morning. Please, this way.¡±


    Sun Gaochang?


    A lofty elder at Foundation Establishment stage, the official in charge of the Reward Virtue Hall, the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department-why was he behaving like this?


    It was beyond Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding.


    Was the weight of being the first among the true disciples this heavy?

 Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Foundation Building Pill l

    Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Foundation Building Pill l


    Translator: 549690339


    After all, he was his immediate superior, so Chen Mobai dared not to be negligent and promptly went with Lu Jun to see Sun Gaochang.


    The latter¡¯s chubby face was brimming with smiles today. After chatting with Chen Mobai for a while, he praised him for securing the first position in the legacy race on behalf of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°When you return the Divine Wood Sword later, you will receive an extra three hundred spirit stones. I¡¯ve already notified the logistics department.¡±


    Upon leaving, Sun Gaochang also asked Chen Mobai if he had enough sect contributions to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill. If not enough, he could lend him ten thousand.


    Chen Mobai was indeed short, immediately thanking him. He planned on borrowing some if he still didn¡¯t have enough contributions after the Foundation Building Pill refined by his elder martial uncle was ready.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai felt that Sun Gaochang was overly enthusiastic.


    He was more accustomed to Sun Gaochang¡¯s previous indifferent attitude.


    After all, since he frequently travels between two realms, it would be better not to draw attention.


    But that¡¯s probably the trouble of being the number one true legacy disciple.


    Well, there was no other way; he had to bear with it for the sake of the Foundation Building Pill.


    There were many people in the logistics department. Upon seeing Chen Mobai, they all wore looks of admiration.


    When returning the Divine Wood Sword, Chen Mobai ran into another true legacy member of the Spirit Plant Department, Li Li.


    ¡°Chen¡­ elder brother.¡±


    Li Li awkwardly called Chen Mobai ¡®elder brother¡¯, something he¡¯d never imagined doing towards this colleague of his whom he had never paid attention to before.


    ¡°You¡¯re too polite, Elder Brother Li.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t put on airs. After greeting him, he returned his Divine Wood Sword to the logistics sister, who gave him three intermediate-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, this is your departmental benefit for becoming a true legacy disciple.¡±


    ¡°Why do I only get one?¡±


    Li Li, who was standing at the side, couldn¡¯t help but complain.


    ¡°This is Inspector Sun¡¯s decision. If Elder Brother Li Li has any objections, he can go and talk to him.¡±


    The sister in charge of logistics heard him, but she didn¡¯t give Li Li any face and replied directly without courtesy.


    ¡°Why not? Elder Brother Chen is the number one true legacy disciple and has enhanced the prestige of our Spirit Plant Department. What¡¯s wrong with giving him two more than you, who is at the bottom of the ladder among true the legacy disciples?¡±


    The one who said this was Liu Guilong, the former true legacy disciple of the Spirit Plant Department who happened to be here handling affairs.


    Li Li¡¯s face turned red in anger, but he dared not say anything in front of Chen Mobai.


    Without a Rank-2 flying sword, he wasn¡¯t necessarily Liu Guilong¡¯s opponent, let alone the exceptional sword cultivation genius.


    He could only huffily shake off his sleeves and leave.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, the department head said that if you have any free time, you can go and visit him.¡±


    After Li Li left in a huff, Liu Guilong relayed this message to Chen Mobai, who could only laugh bitterly and went to the department head¡¯s office.


    After visiting the head, he had to visit the deputy head as well to be polite. Surprisingly, Li Li was also there.


    Chen Mobai only exchanged a few words before immediately excusing himself and left.


    Once he left the Spirit Plant Department, he returned to his lodgings at the inn, only to find Zhuo Ming with a worried expression, having received a load of invitational cards. In addition to the true legacy disciples, there were plenty from Qi cultivation disciples too.


    Luckily, none were from Foundation Establishment elders, or else he would have to socialize again.


    And the moment he returned, there were many Divine Wood Sect disciples waiting at the inn with fiery eyes. A number of them even knelt down to request apprenticeship, eager to learn the unparalleled swordsmanship.


    Chen Mobai was reminded of himself back in Danxia City when he had just been accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    He had no choice but to sigh, delivered a voice transmission message to Zhuo


    Ming to meet at Small Yang Ridge, and then turned and left immediately.


    Finally, he found some peace when he reached Small Yang Ridge.


    While teaching Zhuo Ming about farming and symbol creation, Chen Mobai also kept an eye on the situation of the Alchemy Division.


    But after only a quiet month, many disciples with wide-ranging divine skills from the Divine Wood Sect had found this place.


    They dared not intrude, but they waited and watched at the foot of the mountain every day, still making Chen Mobai quite annoyed.


    He was so troubled that he didn¡¯t dare to travel between the two realms at night.


    Luckily, at this time, a Message Talisman arrived.


    It was a message from E Yun.


    The batch of Demonic beast Foundation Building Pills had been successfully cultivated.


    Good luck, two pills were successfully formed.


    Upon hearing this news, Chen Mobai was immediately invigorated.


    After so many years in the Divine Wood Sect, he was finally reaching this goal.


    He directly left all the matters of Small Yang Ridge to Zhuo Ming, and then hurried off to Divine Wood City.


    With the help of E Yun, without any mishap, Chen Mobai exchanged for his own Foundation Building Pill in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    ¡°Please take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai received a white porcelain bottle. He opened it to see a blood-red pill inside.


    Just upon smelling it, he felt his own Qi and blood that were originally locked by the boundary law starting to churn, showing faint signs of breaking through.


    It was indeed the Foundation Building Pill!


    Suppressing his inner excitement, Chen Mobai put the stuff into his storage bag, followed E Yun out of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and arrived at his courtyard.


    ¡°This is the accumulation of insights from past elders which I had prepared when I was cultivating for Foundation Establishment. It¡¯s oriented towards the Immortality Sutra, you can have a look.¡±


    E Yun pushed a stack of preparatory books to Chen Mobai, about a dozen or so. ¡°Thank you, who took the other Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    After storing the Foundation establishment insights into his storage bag, Chen Mobai asked a question.


    ¡°The Sect Leader wanted to give it to the junior Brother Mu Yuan, but Brother Zhou stepped in and gave it to Feng Hongxue, who ranks second among True Inheritors.¡±


    E Yun did not conceal anything and told Chen Mobai directly.


    ¡°To avoid any complications, Feng Hongxue secluded himself for cultivation as soon as he got the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°He is indeed a bold character.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in approval.


    ¡°Even though no one is coveting your Building Foundation Pill, it¡¯s best to be careful.¡±


    E Yun gave a reminder, and Chen Mobai immediately stated that he would rent a cultivation room from the transmission department right away, and won¡¯t give anyone any chance.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pill is extremely precious. It¡¯s best to be in the most perfect state of mind, Qi, and spirit before taking it.¡±


    ¡°Also, if you have any regrets, it¡¯s best to resolve them before Foundation


    Establishment. This would increase the success rate a bit.¡±


    ¡°If successful in Foundation Establishment in our Divine Wood Sect, you could go to the treasure realm of the Three Divine Trees and have a chance of encountering great fortune. Junior Brother, you mustn¡¯t act rashly and miss this opportunity.¡±


    E Yun shook his head and shared some of his experiences. Upon hearing it, Chen Mobai had an idea.


    ¡°I obtained the Blackwater Cultivation in the Water Mansion and stepped onto the path to Immortality, but being separated from my family at a young age has always been a knot in my heart. Just before Foundation Establishment, I would like to untie this knot.¡±


    Of course, that was an excuse.

    Chen Mobai planned to leave the Divine Wood Sect and immediately find a deserted place to return to the Earth Realm.


    Even if he was unlucky and failed to Establish Foundation with this pill, he could still utilize the resources of the Celestial Region, wait until the Foundation Establishment is successful, and then return to Divine Wood Sect. After returning, he would say that during his search for family outside, he had an epiphany and directly took the Foundation Building Pill and succeeded.


    As long as the Foundation Establishment is successful, in the Divine Wood


    Sect, he would be known as a genius who succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt.


    Anyway, in the Tianhe Realm, it¡¯s not easy to find people, it would be reasonable for him to delay outside for a few years..

 Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Foundation Establishment !

    Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Foundation Establishment !


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai, who disappeared back to Crimson Mountain immediately after leaving the Divine Wood Sect, had again attended two months of classes. Although it seemed like he won the Sect Tournament effortlessly, every drop of Liquid Spiritual Power he used represented his full effort.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for his fundamental understanding of the Divine Manipulation Technique, and his Divine Sense being stronger than that of a regular Qi


    Cultivation Level 9 practitioner, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to control


    the power of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    With Spirit Stones in hand, his depleted Spiritual Power recovered swiftly.


    However, the recovery of his Divine Sense took some time.


    Opportunely, during these two months, Chen Mobai read all sixteen volumes of


    E Yun¡¯s Foundation Establishment insights from the Everlasting Life Method, as well as some Foundation Establishment books on Wood Attribute


    Cultivation Techniques from the Daoist Academy.


    Only after he fully understood all of it, did he call the Academy¡¯s teacher to ask for leave, to apply for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just try it at the end of last year?


    Che Yucheng asked in surprise when he heard.


    At that time, Chen Mobai had requested his own set of Foundation


    Establishment Three Treasures and exchanged two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid with his student points. The final result was that he completed the first step, ¡°Change Tendons and Wash Marrow,¡± but was stuck at the brink of the second step, ¡°Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    ¡°I woke up this morning with a feeling of serendipity, a deep sense of mystery.


    I believe this is the perfect time for my Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai had to make up an excuse because he certainly wouldn¡¯t say that he immersed himself surreptitiously in a sect in a different world for over three years and strenuously obtained an extremely precious Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll approve your leave. If you succeed in Foundation


    Establishment, all will be fine. But if you fail again, you can¡¯t miss a single one of this year¡¯s 10 credits. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for punishing you.¡± Che Yucheng couldn¡¯t refute Chen Mobai¡¯s metaphysical inspiration. When cultivators have this kind of feeling when breaking through a realm, they often succeed.


    But conventionally, it¡¯s best to attempt Foundation Establishment again only a


    year after a failed attempt.


    However, with the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, Chen Mobai felt that


    he truly could succeed this time.


    This wasn¡¯t a profound feeling.


    But it was based on scientific evidence.


    In the lobby of the Cultivation Room Building No.9, two girls in school


    uniforms sat.


    They were students working there part-time. Chen Mobai recognized one of the short-haired girls, who seemed to be a year senior to him, so fairly a school senior. The other long-haired girl looked somewhat unfamiliar, probably a freshman who had just enrolled this year.


    Chen Mobai handed his student card to the younger girl who proactively approached. She had a round face and was smiling.


    ¡°Hello, senior. Are you here to book a room?¡±


    ¡°Yes, a Rank-? High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the girl who was processing the paperwork showed a surprised look, and turned to look at her senior.


    ¡°Is it a Rank-3 High-Grade?¡±


    The senior who was originally playing with her phone, took the student card and confirmed. This is the highest rank of Spiritual Vein that a student can apply for, which requires a teacher¡¯s signature from the Academy.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, showing them the photo of the document sent to him by


    Che Yucheng on his phone.


    Upon seeing the reason for application on the document: Foundation


    Establishment.


    The short-haired senior looked dumbfounded as she examined this ordinarily handsome junior student of hers.


    ¡°You¡¯re just in the fourth year, yet you have already cultivated to the brink.¡±


    ¡°I was lucky to have a comprehension.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. Under the admiring eyes of the junior student, he opted for an unlimited time renewal for a Rank-3 High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.


    In other words, as long as he remains within the Cultivation Room and the Good Deed Points in his student card hadn¡¯t been completely deducted, he can cultivate indefinitely.


    ¡°Please keep your key, senior.¡±


    After inspecting the documents, the short-haired senior handed the matter back to the junior student. Chen Mobai nodded and accepted it.


    Entering his room, he sat on his cushion, took out his phone, and opened the Foundation Establishment App.


    [Foundation Establishment Success Rate: 31%!]


    Chen Mobai had already used this app while he was in the Tianhe Realm, and


    the results had already come out.


    He clicked on the small arrow to pull the screen down and view the detailed calculation results.


    [Perfection reached at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, completed Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, a small part of Condensing Qi into Liquid accomplished, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 16%] [Reached critical state of Cultivation Technique training, no danger if Foundation Establishment fails, good mental state, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 1%]


    [Novice at Divine Manipulation Technique, Divine Sense has been trained, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 5%]


    [Rank-3 Superior Spiritual Vein, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 9¡ã/¡ã]


    He did not add in the Foundation Building Pill, because the formulation of this pill is prohibited in the Daoist Sects, adding it might draw the attention of the app¡¯s developers.


    However, according to statistics from Tianhe Realm, a single Foundation Building Pill has a 30% chance of success.


    His Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pill was only 80% as potent as a traditional Foundation Building Pill, he calculated it would give an additional 24%.


    Adding it all up, his Foundation Establishment Success Rate was 55%-


    It was enough.


    Although Chen Mobai is usually cautious, he becomes extremely decisive at critical moments.


    Even though he knew that the toxins inside this Foundation Building Pill exceeded the acceptable limit, as long as he could successfully establish his foundation, he would have enough time to slowly neutralize it.


    He took out the storage pouch from his bag, pouring the Foundation Building


    Pill into his palm.


    Gazing at the pill that appeared as red as blood jade.


    His eyes fiercely stared, gulping down the valuable Spiritual Medicine he had spent over three years to earn.


    As the pill slid down his throat, a strong surge of medicinal power exploded out.


    However, since Chen Mobai had already completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process, his body was able to perfectly accommodate the powerful medicinal surge. It flowed through his twelve primary meridians across his organs and bones where, finding no areas left to bolster, the medicinal power transformed into a surging heat wave that directly rushed into the Qi Sea of his Dantian.


    If he had not completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process to consume some of the medicinal force of the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Power Vortex would have been unable to bear such a sweeping rush of energy.


    Sweat trickled down from his forehead as he activated his Divine Manipulation Technique.


    While operating his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai repeatedly activated the tenth level mental method of the Longevity Sutra, while in his mind, he was recalling the enlightenment on Foundation Establishment that he had read before. Such a situation had been encountered by others before, those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots or even Innate Taoist Bodies naturally complete Change Tendons and Wash Marrow.


    When faced with a powerful medicinal force, one needs to only let the part that can be refined enter the Dantian, letting the rest circulate slowly in the meridians, organs, and bone marrow, gradually increasing the body¡¯s strength while buying time.


    The Spiritual Power Vortex started spinning. A clear, radiant light emerged on Chen Mobai¡¯s face. The dense third-grade superior Spiritual Energy transformed into a cloud of mist and entered his orifices, neutralizing the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill. Aided by the Longevity Spiritual Power, it began to condense into the third droplet of Liquid Spiritual Power, then the fourth droplet, the fifth droplet¡­


    He soon condensed the ten droplets of Longevity Spiritual Power required for Foundation Establishment.


    At this point, only 70% of the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill had been used, however Chen Mobai dared not continue the conversion.


    He felt a heavy sensation in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, indicating he had reached his current limit.

    Only one final step remained.


    With a rush of spirit, the remaining 30% of the medicinal power transformed into a warm stream that surged into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace. With a boom!


    A deafening sound like muffled thunder echoed in his mind!


    Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense being abruptly pushed beyond his Tianding!


    This was his Divine Sense leaving his body!

    Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Becoming an Apprentice 1


    Translator: 549690330 r r  ¡ª


    Chen Mobai was floating in the middle of his room.


    He saw himself sitting on the cushion, his whole body radiating with a translucent glow.


    This feeling of observing himself was very peculiar, making him joyfully rotate around his body.


    He then permeated his out-of-body divine sense into his own body, the experience was even more wonderful.


    He saw every detail of his body operating the Immortal Cultivation Technique, and also noticed the slightly damaged water and wood organs-his kidneys and gall bladder-due to cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    However, his heart and the Triple Burner were like oil in a blazing fire, exuding vigorous and robust energy.


    Just when he wanted to delve deeper to verify the hidden Five Elements Spiritual Root within him, a wave of exhaustion rushed over him.


    After all, he had just completed his Foundation Establishment, and his divine consciousness intensity couldn¡¯t support a long out-of-body experience.


    Chen Mobai calmed his excited emotions and returned his divine sense to his body.


    After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the fivefold increased Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qj Sea, he couldn¡¯t help but clench his fist.


    The final stage of Foundation Establishment, the out-of-body divine sense, was much simpler than he had imagined.


    It seemed like he had already reached the threshold of this stage, and the effects of the Foundation Building Pill merely gave him a gentle push, enabling him to easily cross this barrier, overcoming what was supposed to be the most difficult phase of Foundation Establishment.


    After the out-of-body divine sense experience, his body and spiritual power were unified under his control.


    With the unity of essence, Qj, and spirit, Chen Mobai easily advanced to the tenth level of the Immortal Cultivation Technique, successfully establishing his foundation.


    The rest of the Foundation Building Pill¡¯s effects were not wasted. He directly guided them with his divine sense into his kidney and gall bladder, giving them a good boost.


    To be on the safe side, Chen Mobai waited for three more days, making sure his realm was stable, before finally standing up contentedly.


    ¡°Checkout!¡±


    At the front desk of Building 9, the same diligent student sisters saw Chen Mobai, brimming with vitality, put his student ID on the table. Their faces showed surprise.


    ¡°You, did you succeed!?¡±


    ¡°I managed to break through by sheer luck.¡±


    Chen Mobai remained modest as ever, but the joy and pleasure in his eyebrows clearly told the two girls about his inner happiness.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior brother.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, senior brother!¡±


    Hearing this, the two girls simultaneously stood up, lifted their right hands to their chest level, and bowed halfway in an ancient ritual.


    This was a tradition passed down by Yunya Daoist, the founder of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, a ceremony to congratulate a disciple on their successful Foundation Establishment, officially entering the path of Immortal Cultivation.


    When Chen Mobai first joined the academy, he was taught this ancient ritual and the method to return the gesture.


    ¡°I hope that the next one to establish the foundation will be my senior sisters.¡±


    He opened his left hand, placed it flat on his chest, and slightly lifted it with a smile in return.


    ¡°Thank you, senior brother.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had checked out, under the admiring gaze of the two girls, he walked out of Building 9 into the sunlight.


    He had successfully established his foundation!


    This had been his dream since childhood, as well as the dream of his father, mother, maternal grandparents, and even his faintly remembered paternal grandparents.


    The whole Chen family had a True Cultivator who had established his foundation over a hundred years ago, who was Chen Mobai¡¯s paternal grandfather.


    Unfortunately, he died in a state of cultivation deviation during one of his seclusion sessions.


    After the six offspring of this great grandfather Chen separated, the-third-in-line eventually became Chen Mobai.


    If he wished, he could instantly reorganize the Chen family.


    But that would be too boring. Besides, in modern society, families are already quite rare. Usually, once the old master dies, they choose to split up.


    Right, he hadn¡¯t informed his family of the good news yet!


    Standing on the steps of Building 9, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the most important thing and couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself.


    He took out his phone and dialed Chen Xinglan¡¯s number.


    ¡°Hello, son, why did you suddenly think of calling me?¡±


    It had been a while since he heard his father¡¯s voice on the phone. Ever since he failed Foundation Establishment, his father and Tang Panchui had been traveling all over the country.


    They knew that Chen Mobai had reached a crucial point in his training, so they wouldn¡¯t usually make the call themselves unless it was truly necessary.


    ¡°Hello, hello, hello, son, why aren¡¯t you speaking? Your father and I are currently in Rotten Ax City. The wishing talismans here are said to be very effective. Your father and I plan to buy one to wish for your successful Foundation Establishment¡­¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could answer, Tang Panchui¡¯s voice was already heard from the other end of the line, as if she had snatched Chen Xinglan¡¯s phone.


    ¡°Mom, Dad, I¡¯ve established my foundation!¡±


    His straightforward sentence made Tang Panchui, who had been chattering nonstop, immediately fall silent as if she had been muted.


    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.


    After a long pause.


    ¡°You ¡­ you¡¯re not joking¡­¡±


    Her trembling words indicated disbelief.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    His resounding reply caused Tang Panchui to let out a scream on the other end of the phone!


    ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but move the phone away from his ear; her voice was just too loud.


    ¡°Son, where are you? We¡¯re coming to find you right now.¡±


    Once her excitement had passed, Chen Xinglan immediately asked. Chen Mobai could also hear Tang Panchui¡¯s cries of joy on the other end of the line.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m on Crimson Mountain. But you don¡¯t need to come. I¡¯ll go back to Red Sandstone City when there¡¯s a vacation at the end of the school year. By the way, please notify my grandparents, uncles and aunts. We¡¯ll have a gathering then.¡±


    After ending his call with his parents, Chen Mobai¡¯s elation still had not yet fully subsided.


    He thought of Qjng Nu.


    ¡°Congratulations¡­¡±


    As the two chatted, time flew by unnoticed.


    By the time he hung up the phone, Chen Mobai had already received congratulatory text messages from his uncle and sister.


    After replying to each one, he finally remembered his main task.


    The Tianhe Realm wouldn¡¯t check when someone establishes their foundation, but the Immortal Gate would need it to be recorded and registered.


    First Floor.


    Che Yucheng sat in his office, looking with satisfaction at the handsome young man in front of him.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡±


    He said admiringly.


    ¡°I owe my progress today to Teacher Che¡¯s guidance.¡±


    ¡°Are you interested in becoming my student?¡±


    Naturally, this was not referring to being a student in the classroom but an actual direct disciple. Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai accepted on the spot.


    After all, without Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance, he wouldn¡¯t have come this far.


    ¡°Greetings, Teacher!¡±


    Very good, this is a gift I have prepared for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng helped Chen Mobai up with a smile then pulled a long square box from under his desk. It seemed to have been prepared beforehand, and judging from its shape, it most likely contained a puppet.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher, what¡¯s this?¡±


    ¡°An Unseen Puppet!¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s casual words made Chen Mobai¡¯s hand go soft. The gift was so valuable that he was hesitant to accept it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unseen Puppets, known as the peak of puppetry artistry, were worth at least tens of millions of Good Deed Points.


    ¡°Teacher, this is too valuable.¡±


    ¡°Accept it since I¡¯m giving it to you. Good. I¡¯ve updated your cultivation level in the system. You can apply for a new student ID, which will allow access to the back mountain.¡±


    Acting as though he¡¯d merely given a piece of paper, Che Yucheng signed for Chen Mobai to accept the gift. He then registered his disciple¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment in the records and sent out a notice on the campus network.


    [Congratulations to our school¡¯s student Chen Mobai from batch 5012 for successful Foundation Establishment]

 Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Real Genius_l

    Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Real Genius_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    A simple announcement in the 5012th cohort caused a significant uproar.


    Ding, ding, ding!


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t even stepped out of his office yet when his phone wouldn¡¯t stop ringing. His classmates, including Ming Yuhua, Yunyang Bing, and Wang Xingyu, called almost simultaneously.


    He had no choice but to answer each call one after the other.


    Those unable to reach him via phone call all began to chat in the Metaphysical


    Class group chat.


    Ming Yuhua: [Wow, Chen is awesome!]


    Lu Zixuan: [So impressive ah w(71 )w]


    Gong Ranran: [Treat us, Chen, time for a treat]


    Wang Xingyu: [I should mention that one-third of his achievement is due to me. Without the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water I made for him, he wouldn¡¯t have improved so quickly.]


    Li Zimo: [I¡¯ve never seen anyone as cheeky as you.]


    Wang Xingyu: [Don¡¯t you want my concocted elixirs in future?]


    The crowd:¡­


    Chen Mobai: [Tonight, same spot, let¡¯s all get together.]


    Just then, Chen Mobai had finished his call and said a word in the chat, instantly garnering a wave of approval and cheers.


    Inside the library.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu, who were gathering data to restore an ancient talisman, saw the popup notification on their phone screens. They showed shocked expressions and stopped their work.


    ¡°He actually established his foundation so quickly?


    Zhuang Jialan, touch gently on her glasses, raised her brows slightly. Her words were laced with a hint of disappointment she herself did not notice.


    ¡°Last semester we caught up to his grades, even surpassing him this semester, we thought he¡¯d reached his limit. Little did we know it¡¯s because he was concentrating on his Foundation Establishment.


    Si Guanyu sighed.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that after Chen Mobai took the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he only completed the third grade content for his talisman course.


    Thus, near the end of last term, his grades were comparable to those of two high-achieving students in his class. In the nick of time, with one more point, he managed to secure the first position in the third grade.


    However, upon entering the fourth grade this year, Chen Mobai¡¯s grades began to plummet, and he fell to the bottom in the past two monthly exams.


    At this point, some people were doubting Chen Mobai¡¯s talent.


    Especially Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who passed Rank-2 Talisman Maker exams this year.


    The Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam in the Daoist Academy is notoriously strict. Upon enrollment, each and every candidate will be given randomly generated ten Rank-2 talismans, they are then required to practice on their own and then make the talismans on the spot at the official test site a year later.


    The test lasts for 24 hours, and if a candidate can successfully make eight out of the ten talismans, they pass the exam.


    Over eighty percent of Rank-2 Talisman Makers are in the Foundation Establishment realm.


    Those who can be Rank-2 Talisman Maker in the Qi Cultivating Realm are generally considered geniuses in the field of talisman making.


    Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan applied for the exam last year, and after passing the examination this year, they completely overshadowed Chen Mobai in the talisman sector.


    Some people had even begun to remove Chen Mobai from the list of ¡°Top io Talents of the 5012nd Cohort¡±. They had claimed the top spots in the talisman rankings.


    ¡°He sees more clearly than all of us,¡± stated Zhuang Jialan. Even though she was once proud of passing the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, after seeing the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment, she felt her achievement was absurdly minuscule and insignificant.


    ¡°After we fix this ancient talisman, I¡¯ll devote myself entirely to the cultivation of threshold techniques,¡± Si Guanyu stated, who also seemed to understand something. The average level of mastering these techniques is generally during the sixth year of the Dao Academy. Hence, they previously thought they had time to understand it and didn¡¯t need to rush.


    But after Chen Mobai became the second student to establish foundation successfully in the 5012nd cohort, they started to feel the pressure. After all, Zhongli Tianyu is far beyond their reach, so even if the former made unprecedented progress, they haven¡¯t felt any substantial comparison or sensation.


    However, Chen Mobai has been with them day and night over the past four years, attending classes together every week.


    The enormous impact of this person beside them achieving such a success stirred up their spirit to compete.


    I must be the third person to establish my foundation in our cohort! At this moment, Chen Mobai also appeared in the talisman class group chat and sent a location.


    He is hosting a dinner tonight to celebrate his successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Are we going?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going to eat him out of house and home!¡± Zhuang Jialan said, clenching her small fists, appearing a little unsatisfied.


    On the Sword Control Department¡¯s training ground, two bright swords struck each other with repeated, deafening clashing sounds, controlled by two young boys and flashing with scintillating sparks.


    After about 20 or 30 strikes, one of the training swords let out a mournful whine, falling from mid-air to impale the ground.


    ¡°You¡¯ve got the basics of swordsmanship down pat, but your Divine Sense is a bit weak and your sword control techniques lack flexibility. Additionally, your offensive and defensive judgment needs work. You need more real combat practice.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, senior Zhai.¡±


    A second-year genius swordsman respectfully bowed to a young man with a horse-like face after retrieving his sword. This horse-faced young man is Zhar Jianbai, who is ranked alongside Chen Mobai as one of the Top 10 talents of the 5012nd cohort. He is acknowledged as the best swordsman, and is considered the character most likely to establish his foundation after Zhongli Tianyu.


    It¡¯s said that, during one of his training sessions, he entered a god-like state and executed the ¡®Sword Qi Long Rainbow¡¯, a level-three state of swordsmanship.


    Although it took him three months to recover after executing the move, he was personally recognized by the head of the Sword Control Department, left Gong Zhenren, who is a Core Formation swordsman, as a ¡°once-in-a-hfetime swordsmanship genius¡±.


    ¡°OK, let¡¯s have another round of sword play. This time, I¡¯ll use 50% of my power¡­¡±


    Just as Zhai Jianbai was preparing to guide his junior again, a female swordsman with a hair bun ran over with her phone.


    ¡°Senior Zhai, there¡¯s a pop-up notification on the campus network.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai almost commented that there¡¯s nothing to look at when it comes to campus network notifications, that it¡¯s all meaningless talk from the leaders.


    But then, thanks to his keen eyesight from practicing sword play, he saw the content on the phone display.


    [Congratulations to our school¡¯s 5012nd student, Chen Mobai, on his successful Foundation Establishment]


    Chen Mobai?


    Isn¡¯t he ranked first in the Talisman Department?


    Did he beat me to it?


    I always thought I was the first in our cohort to comprehend the threshold techniques.


    ¡°Senior?¡±


    Seeing Zhai Jianbai¡¯s odd expression, the two juniors next to him gently called out to him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. I¡¯m going back first.¡±


    After saying that, Zhai Jianbai retrieved his training sword and left the field. ¡°It¡¯s said that every once in a while, during a golden age, numerous heroic figures and talented youths come together in one cohort. It seems this 5012nd cohort is the golden age of our academy.¡±


    Establishing the foundation in the fourth year, such achievement can be ranked in the top 3¡ã/¡ã throughout the history of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I believe in Senior Zhai, he definitely can catch up to this Chen Mobai!¡± The tone of the young swordsman from Sword Control Department trembled slightly when he said these words.


    That¡¯s the person who is ranked first in Talisman Making, Puppet Making, and Agricultural Studies. The real genius..

 Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Posting on the Friends Circle t

    Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Posting on the Friends Circle t


    Translator: 549690339


    After the meal, Chen Mobai took a big group photo.


    Then, under the influence of alcohol, he couldn¡¯t resist posting on his social media.


    [Into my fourth year at Dance Tool Dao Academy, I¡¯ve finally achieved Foundation Establishment. I¡¯m the second-fastest in my year, need to keep pushing myself]


    After posting, Ming Yuhua next to him dragged him into a second round of drinks.


    In the end, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even remember how he got home.


    The next morning, he woke up feeling slightly groggy.


    But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, cultivating the Immortality Technique for a Grand Circulation cycle expelled all alcohol from his body, leaving him charged with energy, at peak state.


    This technique of the Divine Wood Sect was considered the best rejuvenating method in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Oh right, I remember hearing that achieving Foundation Establishment gives me an extra lifespan of sixty years, wonder if it¡¯s true¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai mused to himself, changing into a set of new clothes, then tying his carefully cultivated long black hair to fit his ancient-style outfit into a simple ponytail.


    Looking at the neatly dressed youth in the mirror, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, picked up his phone, slung his school bag on his shoulder and picked up a long box containing the Faceless puppet.


    There was a puppet class today, and Che Yucheng said he¡¯d give him extra coaching after school.


    As he did not want to reveal his storage bag, Chen Mobai had to lug around this inconvenient box to school.


    Leaving the wooden house, he headed towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.


    ¡°Eh, good morning!¡±


    Just after stepping out, he found he was lucky today, bumping into Meng Huang at the foot of the mountain path.


    Over the past four years, Chen Mobai and her had been mere acquaintances.


    As Meng Huang was a year senior and focused on music and nationwide performances, they had virtually no interaction.


    Embarrassingly, even after four years, Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t have her contact information.


    ¡°Good morning.¡±


    After greeting him, Meng Huang stood on her skateboard, but didn¡¯t proceed forward alone as usual.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t notice this. He slung his school bag over his shoulder, took a deep breath, and cast a Rank-2 spell that he had long known by heart but could only cast now.


    A flying technique!


    From his Dantian Qi Sea, a drop of liquid spiritual power surged out, permeating his entire body down to the marrow.


    Chen Mobai felt his body become as light as a feather, thereafter lifting off the ground to his delight, he flew.


    Is this the feeling of flying?


    A sense of intoxication surged in his heart. Looking at the ground that was getting farther and farther away, he held on to the puppet box with both hands, maintaining his balance.


    With a light shout, Chen Mobai flew through the air towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.


    Of course, the speed wasn¡¯t fast. Meng Huang, on the skateboard on the road below him, maintained the same speed towards the school.


    One was in the air, the other on the ground.


    Meng Huang, on the ground, looked enviously at Chen Mobai in the sky.


    She remembered this school junior who helped her out at the train station in the past, and found him quite impressive.


    But when he moved next to her on the first day of college, she was somewhat uncomfortable.


    After all, being a superstar, she had dealt with her fair share of aggressive fans. Even though she knew that students of Dance Tool Daoistry Academy wouldn¡¯t be such people, she deliberately kept her distance to avoid any potential scandals.


    In the four years since, apart from the first day of school, the two hadn¡¯t walked to school together again.


    Apart from the rare occasion of bumping into each other at school.


    Meng Huang had deliberately avoided it.


    But, yesterday, when she saw that update on the campus website and the familiar name, Chen Mobai, she was genuinely shocked.


    He had actually¡­ achieved Foundation Establishment!


    She had reached the Perfection of Qi Cultivation in the ninth layer early, but because she had not cultivated the border technique, she did not dare to take that step.


    And this junior, who was a year younger than her, had actually caught up from behind and succeeded in establishing his foundation.


    Should she ask him if he had any tips for cultivating the border technique?


    Thinking these thoughts, Meng Huang, today for some inexplicable reason, was observing the wooden cabin in the valley below from her villa on top of the hill.


    Although she couldn¡¯t clearly see what was happening inside the cabin, she could clearly see when Chen Mobai left the house. This was why, over the past four years, she had been able to avoid possibilities of going to school together with Chen Mobai.


    But today, she intentionally waited for that chance and only sped down to the road junction at the foot of the hill on her skateboard as fast as she could after Chen Mobai left his house, then pretended to bump into him by accident.


    Yet after their chance encounter, she didn¡¯t know how to start a conversation.


    And then, this junior schoolmate of hers just said hello and flew off immediately!


    Didn¡¯t he think that walking to school together along the mountain road might be a very romantic thing!?


    Hovering on her skateboard behind Chen Mobai, who was flying awkwardly in the sky, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help feeling jealous.


    No matter how clumsy or ungraceful he looked, he was still flying by his own power!


    How come she had never noticed before that this junior schoolmate was pretty attractive?


    Meng Huang watched Chen Mobai flying in the sky and felt a twinge of jealousy.


    At the school gate, she finally waited for the fascinating Chen Mobai to land.


    ¡°Junior, shall we be friends?¡±


    Meng Huang didn¡¯t hold back any longer and actually took the initiative to take out her own phone.


    ¡°Eh, sure.¡±


    Chen Mobai found it a bit strange, he could feel that the big star usually avoided him, why was she so proactive today?


    Oh, it must be because I reached Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai, who understood the reason, couldn¡¯t help feeling that the three years he spent at Divine Wood Sect to obtain the Foundation Building Pill was worthwhile.


    Only a higher realm can earn respect from others.


    This is another proof of Taoist Master Qing Ping¡¯s theory.


    Thinking like this, Chen Mobai opened his own phone, and was immediately taken aback.


    99+ unread messages on his social media.


    What is going on?


    But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, after recalling for a moment, he immediately remembered everything.


    He seemed to have posted something on social media last night.


    Damn, it was a bit too ostentatious.


    After adding Meng Huang as a friend, Chen Mobai was preoccupied with this matter.


    He greeted the big star and went straight towards the teaching building.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    He heard Meng Huang¡¯s voice from behind, Chen Mobai turned around, looking puzzled.


    ¡°Is there something else?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ nothing¡­¡±


    Meng Huang was a bit shy to ask about the cultivation tips of the affective limiter realm technique from her new friend.


    She planned to wait for some time to become more familiar with him, then naturally ask for advice.


    ¡°Oh, then I¡¯m going.¡±


    After finishing his words, Chen Mobai turned around, but unexpectedly ran into another familiar face at the fork in the stairs.


    Ma Xiaoming.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy student he ran into at the train station waiting room some time ago. That time, he ridiculed Chen Mobai for being lucky to be admitted to school due to the expansion policy. Now, he stood there, looking quite embarrassed.


    He wanted to turn around, bow his head, and quickly run in the opposite direction.


    But he was a good student who abides by the school rules and regulations. In the end, he could only stand there, grit his teeth, and congratulate Chen Mobai on his success in Foundation Establishment, with a traditional salute from afar.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Chen Mobai never thought that Ma Xiaoming would be so forthcoming. But since he was, there was no need for him to hold a grudge about it anymore.


    He extended his left hand at chest level, slightly raised it, and returned the salute.

    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I hope the next one to build their foundation will be you.¡±


    This scene was clearly seen by Meng Huang at the bottom of the steps. Having experienced this before, she felt a strong sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.


    Heeheehee!


    Her laughter rang out like a silver bell, making Chen Mobai surprisingly curious.


    This was clearly him putting someone in their place, what was there for her to be excited about?

 Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Treasure Trove 1

    Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Treasure Trove 1


    Translator: 549690339 ¡ª


    After arriving in class, there was still some time before the lesson started. Chen Mobai took a seat by the window, pulled out his phone and prepared to check the unread 99+ messages in his friend circle.


    But before he could even start reading, two fellow students came over to him and congratulated him on his Foundation Establishment with an ancient ritual. Being left with no choice, Chen Mobai had to stand up and return the gesture. At that moment, he truly felt the burden heavy fame brings.


    Just as he was about to sit down, another student who had just entered the classroom raced over enthusiastically upon noticing him.


    It was only when class started that Chen Mobai finally got a break.


    Dividing his attention, he was listening to the lecture given by Che Yucheng earnestly while also playing with his phone.


    Since his Foundation Establishment was successful, his Divine Sense increased threefold. Even when he was multitasking, his learning efficiency was still far better than when he was in the Qi Cultivation phase.


    When Chen Mobai usually checked his friend¡¯s circle, many familiar contacts appeared.


    Lu Hongsheng: [Lu Hongsheng boasted about their friendship: ¡°Congrats to my best bud on his successful Foundation Establishment in the fourth year at the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡±] Chen Mobai was in a fake photo with him that was taken back in high school.


    Chen Mobai was speechless at Lu Hongsheng¡¯s blatant bragging, but he couldn¡¯t help but like the post.


    Mo Simin: [Impressive, don¡¯t forget to treat us this year.]


    Kong Feichen: [?]


    Shi Yuanqing, Shi Jingjing, and other classmates from the same school all sent their congratulations.


    His friends Shen Juanxiu, Luan Jingsheng, and others also sent congratulatory messages.


    After going through the posts by family and friends, Chen Mobai finally found Yan Bingxuan¡¯s response: ¡°As expected, you¡¯re the fastest.¡±


    When they had gone their separate ways in the past, they had made a promise to have reached Foundation Establishment the next time they met.


    Yan Bingxuan mentioned she¡¯ll first need to promote her Ice Spirit Root, implying it may take up to ten years before they meet again.


    Seeing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s reply, Chen Mobai was reminded of the old joke and he couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about his high school days, which felt beautifully simple and naive.


    [Will you come back this year?]


    At the thought of this, Chen Mobai could not help but send her a private message.


    He realized their last conversation was nearly two years ago, when Yan Bingxuan returned to Danxia City and invited him out for grilled fish with Mo Simin.


    Unfortunately, that year Chen Xinglan failed the Foundation Establishment, forcing Chen Mobai to stay.


    Time seems to pass quickly in the world of Immortal Cultivation.


    [I don¡¯t know yet, I might.]


    Yan Bingxuan replied with a very delicate statement. A small grin formed on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    When it came to matters he was interested in, his Emotional Intelligence (EQ) shot up.


    [I¡¯m going back this year. It¡¯s been quite a while since we last met, let¡¯s all get together.]


    [Sounds good.]


    After those simple exchanges, Chen Mobai¡¯s happiness hit another high note. [Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Senior Chen. Do you remember me?]


    At this time, a message popped up from a girl with a pink pig avatar.


    Chen Mobai looked at the note, it was from Wanyu.


    He immediately remembered the beautiful girl he had met on the train during his first year of school.


    [Thank you, of course I remember you, Wanyu¡­ It¡¯s a beautiful name.] After responding, Chen Mobai went back to chatting with Yan Bingxuan. However, he was unaware that after receiving this message, Teacher Wanyu¡¯s heart was pounding, her fair, cute face turned rosy, and she gripped her phone, not knowing what to do due to the surge of excitement.


    He still remembers me!


    After a while, she couldn¡¯t help but compose and send another message.


    Chen Mobai spent the whole morning¡¯s puppet class constantly checking his messages and replying to them.


    By the end, Qing Nu even chimed in, asking him to explain the specifics of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai multitasked and fully disclosed the problems he encountered during his Foundation Establishment and the essential techniques of the Critical Law to Qjng Nu, who seemed very curious and asked in great detail.


    ¡°Class dismissed!¡±


    Only when Che Yucheng yelled this heavy line from the podium did Chen Mobai snap back to reality. This teacher was supposed to give him a special lesson today.


    Seeing that quite a few classmates were coming over to chat, Chen Mobai quickly grabbed his stuff and followed Che Yucheng off the podium under the excuse of asking for guidance, thus making his exit swiftly.


    ¡°No wonder I¡¯ve attended classes at the Daoist Academy for four years and rarely seen senior students who have reached Foundation Establishment. If every class is this enthusiastic, it may become a bit unbearable.¡±


    In Che Yucheng¡¯s office, Chen Mobai placed the Faceless Puppet on the table and handily made some tea.


    ¡°The reason they don¡¯t show up is not because they¡¯re anti-social, but because they don¡¯t want to miss the opportunities in the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Treasure Trove?


    What is that place?


    If you don¡¯t understand something, ask. Especially now that Che Yucheng is officially his mentor.


    ¡°It¡¯s the core area of the spiritual vein of Crimson Mountain, also known as the ¡®Back Mountain¡¯ that you students refer to.¡±


    ¡°Within the Treasure Trove, there are over ten thousand Rank-2 or higher magical artifacts, formed from the donations of all the students who have graduated from Dance Tool Dao Academy over thousands of years after they passed away, making it the number one treasure house in the Immortal Cultivation World.¡±


    ¡°Aside from the Rank-2 ones, there are over a hundred Rank-3 ones, and even a few Rank-4 ones. The Academy Master¡¯s Soulful Mirror was picked from the Treasure Trove. It was with the assistance of this tool that he achieved ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, leading to Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    Back at the Divine Wood Sect, he wreaked havoc among the three thousand Qi


    Cultivation disciples just by borrowing a Rank-2 flying sword.


    There¡¯s more than ten thousand of them in the back mountain of Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    ¡°Teacher, now that I¡¯ve reached the Foundation Establishment, can I go to the


    Treasure Trove to select a magic artifact?¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy has rules. If you meet three requirements, you can go in and choose one based on your luck.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly served the brewed tea to Che Yucheng. After taking a sip unhurriedly, he finally began to speak, seeing the anticipation on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    First, you need to be a student of the academy. Second, you need to have reached Foundation Establishment. And third, you need to have accumulated 100 credit points.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly calculated his own credit points. In the first semester, he accumulated 11 points; the courses he passed in the make-up exam didn¡¯t count towards the points.


    In the second and third semesters, thanks to the Soul Awakening Dao Pills he passed every course, accruing a total of 28 points, and he could reliably obtain 14 more points this semester.


    In total, he only has 53 points, far from enough.


    Teacher, can there be any leniency about this?¡±


    Chen Mobai began to regret his laziness over the past two years, wishing he had taken a few more elective courses.


    ¡°Principles are principles. As the Head of Discipline, I absolutely cannot break them.¡±


    Che Yucheng wore a helpless expression.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Ah, I see now why most Daoist Academy students only reach the Foundation Establishment after their sixth year. It turns out the 100 credit point limitation is there.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. Even if he took a dozen courses next year to earn credit points, he would have to wait until the end of the fifth grade, that is, during the sixth grade, to be able to enter the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°You fool, didn¡¯t you realize that Zhongli Tianyu went to the back mountain last year?¡±


    Che Yucheng saw that Chen Mobai was not catching on and glared at him while bringing this up.


    ¡°Eh, that¡¯s right, teacher that¡¯s not correct, how did he manage to get in? Did he earn 100 credit points in two semesters? That¡¯s impossible!¡±

 Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Puppet Dao 1

    Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Puppet Dao 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°Time is the most precious thing for a cultivator, a difference of one or two years might be the reason somebody missed a major realm breakthrough,¡± ¡°Such cases have happened several times within the immortal sects, which is why the third principal of our Daoist Academy implemented a rule that a tutor can recommend a student, whose total accumulated credits are less than loo, to enter the Treasure Trove early.¡±


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu perfectly fulfills this condition. Yet, his tutor still held him back for two years before submitting a recommendation letter,¡±


    Aftrer hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai clapped his hands impulsively.


    ¡°Teacher, I have been stuck in the Daoist Academy for nearly four years now, I believe it¡¯s time for me to be recommended to enter the Treasure Trove,¡± However, Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Che Yucheng roll his eyes and he shook his head, indicating there was nothing he could do.


    ¡±1 am your teacher, not your tutor,¡±


    ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    ¡°Not really. To avoid the abuse of this privilege, a teacher can only recommend one student to enter the Treasure Trove early every ten years. I used this opportunity on your senior brother eight years ago. If you¡¯re waiting for my recommendation, you might be able to accumulate loo credits on your own by then,¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai thought quickly and immediately considered two other teachers who favoured him.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll look for teachers Lin Wenkang and Xu Xiu. They should not have used this yet. After all, someone like me who reaches Foundation Establishment in his fourth year can be counted on one¡¯s fingers,¡± ¡°Only teachers who are at Core Formation can recommend, they are both only at Foundation Establishment, they can¡¯t recommend,¡±


    Upon hearing this, even if Chen Mobai was slow, he would understand why Che Yucheng had emphasised the term ¡®tutor¡¯,¡±


    ¡°Has Master Shaoyang come out of seclusion?¡±


    In his four years at the academy¡¯s automatic tutor arrangement, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t seen his tutor once.


    ¡°No, he hasn¡¯t. However, his cultivation of the Pure Yang body does not require complete isolation. I have some face, I can send the message in,¡±


    While he was speaking, Che Yucheng opened Chen Mobai¡¯s Puppet Box that was on the table.


    ¡°When can I go to the Treasure Trove, teacher?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Although I have sent the message of your successful Foundation Establishment, he won¡¯t see it until after he has completed his cultivation session. Don¡¯t worry, Shaoyang was also my student, you just prepare to enter the Treasure Trove,¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai managed to calm his slightly agitated emotions.


    ¡°Teacher, this Formless Puppet is too precious and it¡¯s quite wasteful for me to use. Please take it back,¡±


    After he received this puppet, Chen Mobai had used it according to his understanding.


    However, he could only use it as a cultivation puppet and as he had not been to the Divine Wood Sect to exchange the Longevity Sutra¡¯s Foundation Establishment scroll, he could only simulate the cultivation process of the Pure Yang scroll from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I have made quite a few of these. In a few decades, I will reach my ultimate limit. If I don¡¯t give it to you, it will just be left in the Daoist Academy,¡± He said this, but when Che Yucheng touched the Formless Puppet that was folded in the Puppet Box, his old face was filled with nostalgia.


    ¡°Do you know why the Formless Puppet, although initially based on a cultivation puppet, finally became the peak of the immortal sect¡¯s Puppetry Technique after forming?¡±


    ¡°Its comprehensiveness. The Formless Puppet can almost perfectly simulate a real cultivator,¡±


    Chen Mobai was a true genius in puppetry. In this major course, he had truly put in a lot of hard work. The moment Che Yucheng asked, he immediately gave the answer from the textbook without hesitation.


    You little scamp, using what I wrote to answer my question,¡±


    The compiler of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s puppetry textbook was Che Yucheng. Chen Mobai was just being smart.


    ¡°The Formless Puppet can simulate a cultivator¡¯s cultivation, simulate the breakthrough of realms, so can it be used as a real carrier of the soul, as a second physical body?¡±


    Upon hearing this question, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown, and after thinking for a while he was covered in cold sweat.


    ¡°This is the next step for the Formless Puppet, which is also key to advancing to Rank-4. Unfortunately, Master Xin Ji who proposed this idea has passed away, and I¡¯m too old. I can only pass this question down to the next generation,¡±


    After finishing these words, Che Yucheng closed the Puppet Box and gave it back to Chen Mobai, who received it solemnly.


    At this moment, what he received was not just the Formless Puppet.


    But Che Yucheng¡¯s puppetry inheritance!


    ¡°In the history of immortal sects, Rank-4 puppets have been made at all costs,¡± -However, that is not Puppet Dao suitable for the Immortal Sects. What we need to initiate is the infinite evolution path with renewable materials, starting from Rank-i and advancing to Rank-4, or even Rank-5,¡±


    ¡°The Formless Puppet carries this idea of mine and Master Xin Ji¡¯s. If you get


    the opportunity in the future, try walking down this path,¡±


    When he said this, Che Yucheng¡¯s face was gentle, and he didn¡¯t force Chen Mobai to complete this path.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teacher, even if I can¡¯t complete it, I will continue your puppetry inheritance,¡±


    Hearing these words, Che Yucheng nodded and smiled.


    Then he detailed the method for controlling the Formless Puppet and its functions to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This puppet requires an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to operate because of


    its high rank. That¡¯s the only drawback,¡±


    ¡°However, cultivation is just its simplest function. In reality, a lower-grade Spirit Stone can simulate the entire process of Qi cultivation. Only involves Foundation Establishment is an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone needed. The Formless Puppet is mainly created to simulate human body cultivation and unlimited evolution,¡±


    ¡°Since it can cultivate, it can naturally fight. However, there is still that flaw.


    An intermediate-grade Spirit Stone is needed to bring out the power of the ninth level of Qi cultivation,¡±


    ¡°I once applied for a top-grade Spirit Stone for an experiment. It can let the Formless Puppet simulate the realm of Core Formation and it can also exert the power of Foundation Establishment in battle. However, after considering various factors, it can only exert the power of ranking at the third level of Foundation Establishment at most,¡±


    ¡°The energy source problem is also key to shackles on the Formless Puppet¡¯s progress. Unfortunately, the top-grade Spirit Stones of the Immortal Sects are in the hands of Divinity Transformation elders. With my qualifications, I can¡¯t apply for them. Otherwise, I could try to take a step further,¡±


    Chen Mobai reviewed the puppetry manual given by Che Yucheng, taking in all the functions of the Formless Puppet he had explained.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The deeper he listened, the more he understood how formidable his teacher was.


    The material of this Formless Puppet was closer to a synthetic human-like material compared to precious resources. Although it was also extremely precious, it was a renewable resource in the Immortal Sect. It only required cutting-edge technology and knowledge to synthesise


    But if this path of puppetry can be pursued, then the Immortal Sects will have an additional peak art at Rank-4.


    ¡°Alright, after you go back, think about how to get an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone. All the ones I have are resources of the Daoist Academy and I can¡¯t give them to you,¡±


    Although Che Yucheng had given the Formless Puppet, he had no solution for the intermediate-grade Spirit Stone needed to start it up..

 Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Slash 1

    Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Slash 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Upon returning to his own wooden house, Chen Mobai took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone from his storage bag right away. Unlike those Xianmen Spirit Stones of Che Yucheng that are repeatedly recharged and used, having only 60-70% of spiritual energy left, this Spirit Stone he got from the Divine Wood Sect had never been used and it was full of spiritual energy.


    Chen Mobai had six of these intermediate grade Spirit Stones in total. All were hard-earned in the past four years at the Divine Wood Sect. Two were welfare from his Spirit Plant division, one was given by Sun Gaochang for buying spiritual wine, and the other three were rewards from Sun Gaochang after topping all competition and ranking first.


    This way, it seemed that the Spirit Plant division was indeed not bad. As long as you focus on farming, not only will no one cause trouble, various benefits and rewards have never been lacking either.


    After placing an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone in the energy slot of the Formless Puppet, according to the mental control method passed down by Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai linked his Divine Consciousness with the core chip controller of the puppet.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he had switched bodies.


    Through the visual capture of the Formless Puppet, he saw himself sitting with eyes closed on cushion, after his Divine Consciousness had departed from his body.


    Stretching out his hand, he touched his own cheek through the puppet¡¯s palm, a very strange sense of touch.


    This is the deepest method of Puppetry, named ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡±. As the name suggests, it is to integrate one¡¯s Divine Consciousness into the puppet. In this way, the puppet can be perfectly controlled for fighting and tasks using the Puppetry Technique.


    The only drawback is that, after using the ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡±, one can¡¯t control their own body.


    But there¡¯s also a solution to this.


    Just ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± is enough.


    These techniques for training Divine Consciousness are in the ¡°Divine Control Technique¡± that Qing Nu gave him.


    This Divine Consciousness method has four levels. Qing Nu had taken great pains in choosing this Cultivation Technique. It was most suitable for Chen Mobai at that time.


    After asking Che Yucheng, the latter also said that this technique is very helpful for cultivating the Puppetry Technique.


    The first level of the Divine Control Technique is called ¡°Divine Consciousness out of the body¡±. Once achieved, it is equivalent to the Divine Consciousness intensity at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The reason Chen Mobai was able to complete the final step of Foundation Establishment easily was all thanks to this.


    The second level is called ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡±. It requires dividing the Divine Consciousness, and after splitting it into two, the two parts of consciousness could progress and enhance at the same time. This is equivalent to double efficiency.


    And the third level, ¡°Integrating Consciousness into One¡±, is when the divided consciousness becomes strong enough to match the main consciousness. At that time, the two consciousnesses can be re-integrated, thus doubling the consciousness.


    The steps of the second and third levels can continue until the Divine Consciousness becomes strong enough to fill the entire Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, which means the mastery of the Divine Control Technique.


    The final fourth level is called ¡°Travelling Spirit Controlling Energy¡±. With the mere strength of Divine Consciousness, you can do anything, and it can implement a powerful technique called ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    Claiming to be able to kill within ten miles in an instant.


    This ¡°Divine Slash¡± can overwhelm opponents who are not as strong as him in the realm of Divine Consciousness. It is touted as a devastating technique of realm suppression.


    Chen Mobai is the number one follower of the ¡°Realm Suppression Theory¡±, and he thinks it¡¯s necessary for him to learn this ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    But for now, the main thing is to master ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡±. By doing so, he will be able to control the Formless Puppet to launch an attack while fighting his opponent at the same time.


    After his Foundation Establishment, he had already reached perfection in the first layer of the ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡±.


    Now, he could proceed to the second layer¡¯s ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± at any time.


    However, the ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡± specifically noted that when splitting the Divine Consciousness, one would experience intense pain and discomfort. It advised those who lack strong willpower to not cultivate this step, recommending instead to switch to some gentler techniques for increasing Divine Consciousness.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± and the ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. The former was gentle, whilst the latter was intense.


    At the time, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, he wished to try the faster ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t afford nor find any Rank-2 Mind Incense, so he had to settle for the slower ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, he was considered a middle-rank member of the Immortal School and was qualified to purchase certain elixirs which help to stabilise the Divine Consciousness and nourish the mmd. He considered giving it a try.


    He logged out and then re-entered his Immortal School online account named


    ¡°If I Will be Blue Emperor in the Future¡±.


    Upon refreshing, two rings appeared, indicating that he had been upgraded from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment. He was now able to unlock all Rank-2 Spiritual Objects for purchase on the Immortal School¡¯s online platform.


    Compared to the Rank-1 items which were often in short supply due to the three hundred million cultivators vying for them, Rank-2 items were much easier to purchase.


    Chen Mobai looked on the official Immortal School website and found that there were still 34 boxes of Rank-2 Mind Incense in stock.


    However, the price was a bit high, requiring 120,000 Good Deed Points per box. But with no other choice, as it was a necessity, he had to buy it.


    After purchasing the Mind Incense, Chen Mobai looked at the Spirit Pens for drawing talismans.


    He needed a Rank-2 Talisman Brush, but found that the cheapest one required 390,000 Good Deed Points. He could only shake his head and decide to seek out raw materials from the Divine Wood Sect and have someone custom make it for him.


    The craftmanship fee for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush was inquired by Ming Yuhua, which only required 20,000 Good Deed Points. It was quite affordable. He had everything planned.


    For the brush handle, he would use the Rank-2 Gold Edge Bamboo from the Water Mansion. After his Foundation Establishment, this object was not of much use to him. After removing the Array Plate embedded with high-grade Spirit Stones, the spiritual energy of that place would only become weaker over time, resulting in the bamboo¡¯s increasing withering.


    As for the brush tip, he had also inquired about it. The Beast Division of Divine Wood Sect had six Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbits. As he was now considered an elder-level figure after his Foundation Establishment, getting a few bundles of rabbit fur should not be a problem.


    Because the delivery of the Mind Incense would take two days, Chen Mobai started to mess with the faceless puppet again.


    After his Foundation Establishment, the two cultivation techniques he practiced needed to be upgraded.


    The ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± was easier to handle. It was one of the two heritage cultivation techniques of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The library had chapters from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Divinity Transformation stage. However, each could only be exchanged with the corresponding authority to prevent students from aiming too high.


    After leaving Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai went directly to the library and got the Foundation Building chapter of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    But practically, this was of little use to him now.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was because he used the Longevity Scripture to establish a foundation, concentrating on this wood-attribute technique for years. He barely practiced the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±, only managing to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation naturally with the improvement of his Pure Yang Daoist Body. Speaking of which, his Pure Yang Daoist Body had been cultivating with the use of Spirit Stones over the years. Based on the efficiency of one Spirit Stone every three days, the Two-Yang Body was already accomplished.


    However, the Three-Yang Body was a bit behind. 900 Spirit Stones required 2700 days, or more than seven years.


    Up to now, he had only advanced less than halfway through the Three-Yang Body.    6


    It was fortunate that he followed Che Yucheng¡¯s advice to first establish a foundation with the Longevity Scripture. Otherwise, he might have had to wait until his eighth grade to complete the Three-Yang Body and move to the next step.


    However, after his Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai discovered that he was able to transform his Spiritual Root into Spirit Stones at a faster rate..

 Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Superior Spirit Stone_l

    Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Superior Spirit Stone_l


    Translator: 549690339


    The higher the cultivation level, the faster the Spirit Stone can transform the spiritual root.


    Chen Mobai can now consume three spirit stones a day while cultivating his Pure Yang Body.


    According to this rate, within less than a year, he will be able to cultivate the Three Yang Body.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 38, Earth 10]


    Chen Mobai felt relaxed after testing his current spiritual root.


    Since his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body is entirely dependent on the Spirit Stone, every time his spiritual root improves, it is in the most perfect state. The upgrade of his Three Yang Body has already been completed once. When he finally reaches perfection, his fire spiritual root will be able to be improved by another 6 points.


    With a score of 44, though he might not surpass Ming Yuhua, he will be close to catching up with Yunyang Bing¡¯s fire spiritual root attributes.


    However, compared to their initial fire spiritual root, Chen Mobai is a little upset since they can further increase their attributes after practising Pure Yang Body; for instance, Ming Yuhua, after successfully cultivating the Three Yang Body, can improve to the level of a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    Well, he needs to continue working hard.


    He continues to play with the Faceless Doll.


    He didn¡¯t use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones to derive the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, but input the Red Flame Sword Charm into it.


    Having decided to cover the Pure Yang Scroll with this cultivation technique, Chen Mobai did not stint on the Spirit Stones.


    The Faceless Doll¡¯s ability to perform spells far surpasses the Spell Mage doll he ordered. Since it also uses intermediate-grade Spirit Stones as an energy source, it easily extrapolates to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    The Red Flame Sword Charm can be followed by talisman or swordsmanship.


    During his time at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai engaged in several exchanges with E Yun and others, and chatted with Qi Practitioners like Zhuo Ming and Lu Jun. He realized that they regarded him as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    For the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai had to pretend to be one.


    His original plan was to slowly make up his foundation in this area after building the foundation. With the sword casting ring, it would be no problem to practice the first two realms of the sword practitioners.


    However, he didn¡¯t have much confidence in reaching the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    But there are many sword training books in the immortal gate, and the Sword Control Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a major department.


    Chen Mobai felt that if he started enrolling for this main course from next year, and he studied hard under the foundation building realm, it should be possible to achieve the Rainbow Sword Qi within two or three years.


    The reason why he returned to the Divine Wood Sect for such a long time, he¡¯d already laid out in advance with E Yun.


    However, with the Faceless Doll, it wouldn¡¯t be that troublesome.


    Under the abundant intermediate-grade Spirit Stones as the energy source, the Faceless Doll, which has been input with Chen Mobai¡¯s personal attribute panel, has easily succeeded in foundation establishment. Under the conditions he set in advance, it started to focus on the extrapolation of sword techniques.


    Soon Chen Mobai saw the process of his sword training becoming Gang, and Sword Gang transforming Qi.


    Then, the puppet lifted its right hand, the index and middle finger closed into a sword gesture, and gently pointed at the window.


    The spiritual energy wandering in the wooden house converged in an instant, a spark burst out from the fingertips, and in a flash, it turned into a touch of crimson rainbow radiance.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s complexion changed; he activated a protection talisman with his left hand and used a green kerchief with his right, and his body also activated a shield spell, preparing to block the Sword Rainbow before it exploded and destroyed the mountain top. Then, a wisp of blue smoke rose.


    The Red Flame Sword Rainbow flickered like a suddenly unplugged light bulb at the puppet¡¯s fingertip, and after two flashes, it went out completely.


    The condensed spiritual energy collapsed, but this was not enough to pose a threat to Chen Mobai as a foundation building cultivator.


    He gently manipulated the green kerchief in his hand to suppress all the remaining sword Qi ripple and gradually wiped it out.


    After all this was done, he opened the head of the Faceless Doll.


    Sure enough, the intermediate-grade Spirit Stone had been completely depleted.


    This was precisely why the Red Flame Sword Rainbow transformed into rootless wood and sourceless water, unable to explode.


    While feeling relieved, Chen Mobai remembered what Che Yucheng had said.


    If this Non-Entity Puppet wants to exert the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level, it needs high-grade Spirit Stones as the energy source.


    The third realm of a sword cultivator, Sword Qi as Rainbow, is the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level.


    Because of this, Chen Mobai¡¯s ability to manifest this level of ability in the Qi Cultivating Realm is highly valued by the Divine Wood Sect, and they all believe that once he grows up, he will be unbeatable among his peers.


    Chen Mobai took out a USB stick and copied all the data of his own practice of the Red Flame Sword Jue that the Non-Entity Puppet had just deduced.


    As long as he cultivates this way, Chen Mobai can go straight to achieving ¡°Sword Qi as Rainbow¡± without any detour.


    But he definitely won¡¯t waste time on this now.


    After thinking for a bit, Chen Mobai took out the Azure Water Formation array plate embedded with a high-grade Spirit Stone from his storage bag.


    In the past, he had taken this out from the Water Mansion to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill for his father, Chen Xinglan. Unfortunately, it ended up not being used.


    Although this high-grade Spirit Stone is bound by the Array Plate, it has actually been activated, and its spiritual energy is depleting slowly every moment.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care about it before, but now he plans to put it in the Non-Entity Puppet.


    Aside from allowing this puppet to exert combat power at the Foundation Establishment level, the energy system within the Non-Entity Puppet is far superior to the Azure Water Formation Array Plate.


    Once the high-grade Spirit Stone is placed in it, the spiritual energy will not deplete as long as the puppet is not activated.


    Chen Mobai is already well-versed in the Azure Water Formation, so he has prepared no less than three plans to remove the high-grade Spirit Stone.


    Using a set of prepared jade tools, Chen Mobai spent nearly two hours to finally remove the high-grade Spirit Stone from the Array Plate and quickly placed it into the energy slot in the Non-Entity Puppet¡¯s head.


    Click!


    The energy slot made by Che Yucheng can adapt to any shape of the Spirit Stone, freely expanding and contracting.


    Once the high-grade Spirit Stone was locked in perfectly, strands of spiritual energy started to circulate. Within a breath, the joints of the Non-Entity Puppet lit up with an unprecedented light.


    Chen Mobai immediately used the ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡± to infuse his Divine Sense into it.


    ¡°What a powerful force!¡±


    Although he had not used it, the Red Flame Sword Jue, the realm of the Sword Qi like a Rainbow, was reflected in his Divine Sense.


    If he is willing, at the expense of this high-grade Spirit Stone, he can exert the power of a Foundation Establishment level sword cultivator using this Non-Entity Puppet.


    No, the Red Flame Sword Jue is a cultivation technique of the Tianhe Realm, and there is no such thing as Foundation Establishment level third layer.


    In professional terms, it should be the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage!


    After the excitement, Chen Mobai retracted his Divine Sense and put the Non-Entity Puppet, which was filled with high-grade Spirit Stone, back into the Puppet Box.


    He felt that he could return to the Divine Wood Sect now.

    Besides reporting his successful Foundation Establishment, he also wanted to exchange for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Longevity Sutra.


    If possible, also collect some fur from a Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbit.


    And then return Yun Country.


    The Bamboo Fruits on the Gold Edge Bamboo should also be mature by now.


    After the Bamboo Fruits are picked, all the Jade Bamboo in the Water Mansion can be harvested..

    Chapter 229: Chapter 229: This Person¡¯s Sword Qi is


    Overly Domineering_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had taken control over the territories of four countries after splitting from the Five


    Elements Sect.


    Although these four countries were originally under the influence of the Five Elements Sect, many cultivator clans still maintained ties with the Five Elements Sect, given that it had been less than a hundred years since the separation. Thus, while the Divine Wood Sect was nominally seen as the ruling sect over these four countries, their control was not absolute.


    In Jian Country, there was a Foundation Establishment clan named Yuan. The founder of the Yuan clan, a cultivator named Yuan Hongyuan, initially had no Significant affiliation. However, thanks to his exceptional talent and deep set of opportunities, he managed to pass the threshold of life and death without a Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in foundation establishment a hundred years ago.


    However, there were hidden secrets behind this achievement.


    The residence of the Yuan clan was named Black Cloud Mountain, where the spirit vein was most vigorous at the mountain peak, reaching the lower-grade of Rank-3.


    Yuan Hongyuan, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, lived here, overlooking the mountain.


    ¡°Find a way to kill this one,¡± he ordered.


    That day, an unexpected guest arrived at Black Cloud Mountain, who landed back to Yuan Hongyuan and threw down a portrait.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    upon receiving it, Yuan Hongyuan found that it was a young teenager who looked quite young.


    ¡°He¡¯s the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    The arrival didn¡¯t hide anything and conveyed the truth.


    ¡°If I make a move, whether successful or not, I fear the Yuan clan won¡¯t be able to stay in these four countries any longer,¡± Yuan Hongyuan fretted, crumpling up the portrait and knitting his brows.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that your growth today is because our sect granted you a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Having said this, the visitor sneered, without any further delay, directly turned into a beam of spiritual light, and disappeared on top of Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan stood under a spirit tree laden with peaches, pondering for a long time, then let out a long sigh and descended from the mountain where he hadn¡¯t left for ten years.


    ¡°Ancestor, why didn¡¯t you notify us when you left seclusion?¡±


    Inside the hall of the Yuan clan, the current clan head, Yuan Shaoyuan, expressed his surprise upon seeing the incoming Yuan Hongyuan and immediately offered him his seat.


    ¡°Find out about this year¡¯s number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. I need to know all his information.¡±


    As the founder of the Yuan clan and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yuan Hongyuan was the de facto emperor. Upon his order, Yuan Shaoyuan immediately set out personally, ran to Giant Tree Ridge, and asked about the condition from several disciples of his clan who had joined the Divine Wood


    Sect.


    Two days later, after learning about Chen Mobai, the worry on Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face deepened.


    If he were to kill this man and the truth were to be revealed, even if he took the Yuan clan and fled the four countries, they would likely still be tracked and hunted down by the Divine Wood Sect for their extermination.


    -Ancestor, this person is recognized by all in the Divine Wood Sect as a Sword Cultivation Genius. He is unparalleled among his peers. If he establishes his foundation in the future, and a Gold Core isn¡¯t out, he will be an invincible existence under the heavens,¡± said Yuan Shaoyuan with a hint of hidden worry in his words.


    As the clan head, he naturally understood that there was a manipulating hand behind the Yuan clan. It was because of this manipulator that they had managed to root themselves in Jian Country, and even gain Black Cloud Mountain with its lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    On ordinary days when Yuan Hongyuan was in seclusion, he, the clan head, would be the one to communicate with the manipulating hand.


    Now that the pillar of their family had suddenly descended from the mountain and was inquiring about Chen Mobai¡¯s news, he, as the clan head, could guess why.


    ¡°You, Little Si and Little Liu, go and watch closely at Giant Tree Ridge. As soon as this person leaves Jian Country, immediately inform me.¡± After long consideration, Yuan Hongyuan had no choice but to follow the manipulator¡¯s orders.


    After all, over the past hundred years, he had done quite a few things in Jian Country that were detrimental to the Divine Wood Sect, and he had already crossed the line too many times.


    ¡°Yes, ancestor, but although this person is the top true disciple, he is only one person. The three of us at Qi Cultivation Perfection, along with that Three-Smoked Cloud Formation, should be able to take him, and there¡¯s no need for you to personally make a move,¡± Yuan Shaoyuan suggested. He felt that Yuan Hongyuan, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was too high profile, and might likely be discovered by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s investigators once he took action.


    ¡°Hmph, when hunting a rabbit, the lion still uses its full power. The reason I, Yuan, have been able to cultivate to this day is my caution. I always ensure complete preparation and am able to eradicate the root of any problem, leaving no future trouble. This is why my Yuan clan has what it has today,¡± said Yuan


    Hongyuan.


    ¡°Moreover, not to put too fine a point on it, but if this person is recognized by the Divine Wood Sect as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, even if the three of you together with the formation can take him down, it¡¯s likely that one or two of you may die in the process,¡± added Yuan Hongyuan.


    Hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but feel horrified.


    ¡°Could this person be even more amazing than Hong He!


    Hong He was previously the most famous number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, holding this position for a full ten years, leaving Zhou Wangshen and E Yun to alternate in the second and third places. His formidable fighting talent was well-known even outside the Eastern Wilderness to those from the major sects.

    ¡°The last one recognized as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, is the current Gold Core cultivator at Golden Cliff,¡± concluded Yuan Hongyuan. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan felt that it was better to proceed with caution, in accordance with the ancestor¡¯s wish.


    However, he also felt pity for Chen Mobai.


    Such talent and potential, yet before he could make his name known to the world, he was about to die from a secret attack


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-foundation stage, had once fought off three early foundation stage invaders single-handedly at Black Cloud Mountain.


    No matter how exceptional Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was, he was merely at Qi Cultivation level at the moment. Under the personal suppression of Yuan Hongyuan, there was surely no chance of escaping alive..

    Chapter 230: Chapter 229: This Person¡¯s Sword Qi is too Dominant_2


    Translator: 549690339


    After bidding farewell to the family elder, Yuan Shaoyuan excused himself to discuss important business matters, taking his two brothers with him. They left Black Cloud Mountain and, disguising their faces, hid outside Giant Tree


    Ridge.


    It seemed as if fortune was favoring them.


    They only waited half a month before Chen Mobai surprisingly left the Divine Wood Sect.


    As he passed through a forest, they activated a Cloud Mist Talisman. This talisman wasn¡¯t offensive, but anyone who passed through its mist would be marked by an almost imperceptible smoky residue.


    This colorless, odorless residue could linger for a month undetected, and only their specially crafted lens from the Yuan family could perceive it.


    The trio observed the movement of the smoke from ten miles away. After following for half a day, they found that Chen Mobai had gone to a Fang


    Market.


    This market was guarded by Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and also had their family¡¯s shops.


    However, they didn¡¯t want to expose themselves, so when Chen Mobai rented a cave dwelling, they also rented a nearby available one.


    ¡ö¡öIt¡¯s strange. This is their Divine Wood Sect¡¯s property. As long as he shows his sect¡¯s nameplate, he can stay for free. Why spend spirit stones?¡±


    All three were puzzled by Chen Mobai¡¯s behavior, but more mystifying behavior was yet to come.


    They waited for two whole months without seeing Chen Mobai leave the house.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t look good. Have we been exposed and he¡¯s run away?¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan had vast assassination experience and immediately sensed something was not right.


    But the cave dwellings in the market were Divine Wood Sect¡¯s properties, so they didn¡¯t dare break the formation and intrude to investigate.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait a bit longer. If still no sign, we¡¯ll report back to headquarters.¡±


    One month went by since they deployed this strategy.


    just when Yuan Shaoyuan decided to give up and leave with his two brothers¡­


    Squeak!


    The door of Chen Mobai¡¯s cave dwelling was opened.


    The long-awaited assassination target was right before their eyes.


    ¡°Damn brat, he¡¯s prepared so many fasting pills.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan cursed under his breath, but his years of assassination experience helped him remain calm during this critical moment.


    He asked his fourth brother to track the smoke at the market exit, while he and his sixth brother waited inside the cave dwelling, so they wouldn¡¯t be discovered by the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Damn, his direction¡­ He seems to be heading back to Giant Tree Ridge!


    After Chen Mobai left, they followed the smoke, but after half a day they noticed something was off.


    ¡°If he returns to Divine Wood Sect, we¡¯re out of options.¡±


    Even with a hundred times more guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare to kill someone at


    Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ll inform the elder immediately.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan is a decisive person. He knew that they might not have a chance to see Chen Mobai leave Jian Country, but he didn¡¯t want to lose this rare opportunity, so he activated a valuable Rank-2 Concentric Talisman. This talisman is part of a pair. Once one is activated, the other one will get the message sent by the activator.


    Black Cloud Mountain.


    After receiving the message, Yuan Hongyuan pondered for a moment.


    Then, his expression hardened, and he decided to activate the other Concentric Talisman.


    [You three stop following him, I¡¯ll set an ambush on his inevitable path back to Giant Tree Ridge.]


    Upon receiving this message, Yuan Shaoyuan sighed in relief. He pulled his two brothers with him, and after conveying the elder¡¯s message, the three of them headed toward Yun Country.


    They were supposedly going to negotiate a sale of Spirit Beasts with the Luo family, a cultivator family from Yun Country. To avoid suspicion and investigation by the Divine Wood Sect after the elder kills Chen Mobai, they had to play their roles convincingly.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware that someone was following him.


    After leaving the market, he headed straight for Giant Tree Ridge.


    His mind was preoccupied with how to maintain his reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword Dao after he returned to the sect. He planned to say that he had successfully established his foundation, but during the breakthrough process, he had a sudden epiphany and understood an immensely domineering sword technique. He was involuntarily overcome with this understanding and injured his meridians, internal organs, and Divine Sense. He would need two to three years of recuperation.


    After all, he was registered with the Divine Wood Sect for practicing a two-fold Technique.


    At some point in the future, after the Art of Eternal Life, he still needed to have a Red Flame Sword Jue to reveal.


    But he was on the edge of the limit. He had to wait until the Melting Sun Body was completed before he could mimic the Flame Sword Charm¡¯s cultivational level with the Pure Yang Scroll.


    If there was a chance when nobody was around, he could use an unrefined puppet to apply the Foundation Building Realm¡¯s Flame Sword Charm. If someone analyzed the battlefield afterward, they would find traces of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    But currently, there was no one who could test an unrefined puppet¡¯s power after being set with high-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    While he was thinking about this, Chen Mobai had arrived at a barren hill.


    It was about one hundred miles past here, where one could see Giant Tree Ridge again.


    Previously, Chen Mobai could only trek over mountains and ridges to cross this barren hill.


    But things were different now.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had established his foundation.


    He could fly!


    The effectiveness of the two Godspeed Talismans had just run out, so he stopped and started to fly.


    His entire body transformed into a green light, suddenly rushing into the sky. Like a green flying sword streaking across the sky, it sliced a clear path across the clouds, revealing the blue sky.


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was lying in ambush in the middle of the barren hill, was holding a prearranged Array Flag. Seeing Chen Mobai flying across the sky, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief..

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°[He¡­ has reached Foundation Establishment!?]¡±


    Realizing this, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face revealed a twist of conflict. The Formation he had set up was intermediate grade Rank-2, designed specifically for opponents at the Foundation Establishment level; it could even bring down cultivators flying in the sky.


    If used against Qi Practitioners, even if a hundred of them fell into the Formation, Yuan Hongyuan could slaughter them all one by one.


    However, Chen Mobai had reached Foundation Establishment!


    He remembered the appraisal given to Chen Mobai by the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    An unparalleled genius in Sword Dao!


    Invincible among peers!


    Although Yuan Hongyuan was very confident in himself, believing his magical duel abilities to be among the upper echelons of his rank, and fortified by the Formation he had set up in advance, he dared to battle even those in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    But, Chen Mobai was a Sword Cultivator!


    Moreover, he was an unparalleled genius among Sword Cultivators. Yuan Hongyuan truly lacked confidence in himself to win against such a prodigy.


    ¡°The information I gathered earlier indicated that Chen Mobai was invincible among Qi cultivators during the Sect competition. After that, he obtained the Foundation Building Pill refined by Zeng Woyou. I didn¡¯t expect that in less than half a year, he would have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.¡±


    After piecing together all the clues in his mind, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s evaluation of Chen Mobai was sky-high.


    This man was the first genius of the Divine Wood Sect after the family was divided!


    Joined the Sect for three years, the first true disciple.


    In a place like Yuhu Market, merely a Rank-2 Spirit Vein land, he dared to ingest the Foundation Building Pill, and even succeeded in establishing his foundation.


    This revealed his unparalleled talent. It might even be possible that he had already comprehended a higher realm of Sword Dao at that time, which would explain why he chose to seclude himself in a place of average spiritual quality. Without the Foundation Building Pill, he might have been able to break through this stage with his sword alone.


    Thinking of having to face off against an unparalleled prodigy like this, risking life and death, Yuan Hongyuan no longer held any confidence.


    And, if he wasn¡¯t certain of success, he would absolutely not take risks.


    Thus, he clenched his teeth.


    Finally, he chose to conceal his aura, allowing Chen Mobai to fly past overhead without initiating the Formation.


    [In any case, this information was wrong. If I think of an excuse, I should be able to muddle through.]


    Almost half a day after Chen Mobai had disappeared, Yuan Hongyuan only then collected his Formation and stealthily returned to Black Cloud Mountain.


    Half a month later, Yuan Shaoyuan and the others, pretending that their business talks had fallen through, returned. When they asked about their Patriarch, the latter feigned a sword injury, coughing weakly twice before recounting the ¡°life-or-death¡± struggle that day.


    ¡°That Chen Mobai, as expected of a Sword Dao genius, has already established his foundation. Unaware of this, I used the Five Clouds Binding Formation to detain him. However, his Sword Qi was too overpowering, after dueling for a day and a night, both my protective Magic Artifact and the Large Formation were consecutively shattered by his domineering Sword Qi. In the end, only after sacrificing a life-preserving talisman was I able to barely escape from his sword.¡±


    Hearing how intense the battle had been, Yuan Shaoyuan and the others gasped.

    It was fortunate that they hadn¡¯t risked ambushing him outside of the market.


    Otherwise, they might already be dead and cold now, and after death, disguises would be useless. The Divine Wood Sect had many means to identify their origin from their corpses.


    If that were the case, Black Cloud Mountain would probably be flooded with blood from the massacre by this Number One True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect by now.


    Who would have thought that he would establish his foundation in such a place, and wonder why he¡¯d been missing for two whole months!


    Truly deserving of being recognized as an unparalleled Sword Dao genius by the whole Divine Wood Sect. Even their patriarch, who was almost at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and had the advantage of the Formation and the terrain, was no match for him, only managing to escape in disarray..

 Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Benefits of Foundation Establishment!

    Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Benefits of Foundation Establishment!


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually succeeded in your Foundation Establishment!¡±


    Inside the Divine Wood City, Yuan Chiye looked at Chen Mobai, who was drinking tea with E Yun, with a face full of shock.


    ¡°After leaving the sect, I contemplated the mountains, rivers, and the blooming and wilting of flowers. I came to understand the principles of growth and decay, and felt that the opportunity for breakthrough had arrived. So, I secluded myself in a market and took a Foundation Building Pill,¡± Chen Mobai replied, feigning a weak state by softly coughing a few times.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you are a cherished prodigy destined to succeed in Foundation Establishment. Next time, do not rush so. Attempting to establish one¡¯s foundation when one¡¯s spiritual energy is insufficient can likely lead to a failure to complete the step of condensing Qi into liquid,¡± E Yun advised, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    ¡°Establishing one¡¯s foundation by understanding the Dao is the most orthodox method of Foundation Establishment. I did not expect that in my lifetime, I would encounter an unprecedented genius like Junior Uncle Chen. I have a premonition that bringing you into the Divine Wood Sect will be the greatest contribution I have made to the sect in my life,¡± Yuan Chiye said with a face full of emotion.


    Initially, in the South Creek Market of the Cloud Country, he had already taken a liking to the ¡°extraordinary¡± genius Chen Mobai due to his outstanding Spirit Root Aptitude. He felt that if he nurtured Chen Mobai in the sect for at least ten years, the latter would undoubtedly become a direct disciple.


    However, he had not expected Chen Mobai¡¯s talent to far exceed his initial estimation.


    This was no longer just extraordinary ¨C establishing a foundation through understanding the Dao is a trait possessed only by those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Before the Foundation Building Pill formula was researched, ancient cultivators relied on themselves to establish their foundation.


    The earliest breakthrough among this was understanding the Dao at once, achieving a resonance with the elemental energies of heaven and earth, and directly forming a perfect foundation most suited to oneself: essentially, one¡¯s future cultivation progress would be smooth sailing.


    The reason why the Heavenly Spiritual Roots are highly valued by all major sects is because such geniuses, when they cultivate to the peak of Qi cultivation, would naturally resonate with the corresponding elemental energies of Heaven and Earth due to their extraordinary Spirit Root Attributes, enabling them to understand the Dao during the foundation establishment.


    After establishing one¡¯s foundation through understanding the Dao, is to establish it through force.


    This is done by forcibly stimulating the spiritual energy that has been refined to its limit within the Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, triggering the transformation of spirit, qi, and essence. Unfortunately, this process is extraordinarily difficult due to the lack of resonance with the elemental energies of Heaven and Earth.


    Nearly ninety percent fail, and those who fail often meet a grisly end: their body shatters, their divine sense is destroyed.


    These two methods of establishing a foundation do not classify as high or low, but the former is a natural breakthrough, occurring as easily as water flowing into a canal, while the latter is akin to seeking life in the face of death.


    However, correspondingly, cultivators who have succeeded in establishing a foundation through force, having survived their tribulations, are undoubtedly the most ruthless of individuals.


    ¡°For instance, that old ancestor of the Yuan Family from Black Cloud Mountain is one such ruthless character.¡±


    The conversation then turned to Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°To fend off three opponents of the same realm with only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, even I may not be capable of it. If Yuan Hongyuan didn¡¯t have such capabilities, the Black Cloud Mountain and the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree at the top of the mountain wouldn¡¯t belong to them,¡± E Yun praised as he spoke of Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°Uncle Master, you are being too modest. Yuan Hongyuan only managed to do that by taking advantage of the situation and setting up formations. If you had enough time to set up the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and reach the peak of the early foundation stage, you could do the same.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head at these words. He admired those of Yuan Hongyuan who had managed to establish their foundations through force, but within the Divine Wood Sect, it was commonly acknowledged that the top three true inheritors of the previous generation ¨C Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun ¨C could possibly establish their foundations through sheer force, even without foundation building pills.


    In comparison, no matter how powerful a loose cultivator might be, the disciples of a major sect like them could not be compared.


    ¡°Enough about that. Junior Brother Chen just completed his Foundation Establishment, but due to insufficient spiritual energy during the breakthrough and comprehending an incredibly domineering sword strike, he injured his spirit and needs some healing elixirs,¡± E Yun then steered the conversation back to its original purpose, explaining why he had called over Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°There are still a few bottles of Rank-2 God Nourishing Pills in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Junior Brother Chen used all of his sect contributions to exchange for Foundation Building Pills, you take my identity nameplate to exchange for the pills, and also fetch a Heart Stabilizing Talisman.¡±


    ¡°I remember that there is a set of Rank-2 Nurturing Formations in your department¡¯s warehouse. Inform Minister Niu that the newly established market at Cloud Dream needs it, take it into account for the year-end calculations and collect it now.¡±


    ¡°Also, a Foundation Establishment elder can select a courtyard and a shop in the Divine Wood City, as well as a Rank-3 Spirit Vein. You should also inquire about those that are vacant to see which one has the best location and can rent for the highest price.¡±

    Hearing E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hands, indicating that there was no need for such trouble. For a minor injury to his spirit, he only needed to recuperate for two or three years.


    ¡°Consider these sect contributions as a loan from me. Besides, since you¡¯re officially my person, if I didn¡¯t handle these things for you, wouldn¡¯t it make outsiders suspect our relationship?¡±


    With the conversation going this far, all Chen Mobai could do was smile bitterly and nod.


    He should have made up a different excuse. The Rank-2 spiritual objects E Yun was purchasing for him to recover his spirit were worth at least a thousand sect contributions. The debt from the Foundation Building Pills hadn¡¯t been repaid yet, but now he had racked up another debt.


    ¡°By the way, now that I¡¯ve established my foundation, can I go and gain the true heritage of the Divine Wood Sect? As for the Cultivation Techniques for the Undying Scripture and the Red Flame Sword Jue at the foundation stage, do I simply go fetch them from the Book Pavilion?¡±

    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai began asking about what mattered most to him upon returning to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°You have to go to the Witchcraft Division for that. It¡¯s also time for you to report your Foundation Establishment to the Sect Leader. Come with me.¡± The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s three divisions govern twelve departments. Among them, the Shenmu Hall directly oversees only two departments, Witchcraft and Cultivation Technique, managing the sect¡¯s hidden strength and heritage respectively.


    He followed E Yun to meet with the Sect Leader, Meng Hong.


    ¡°Very good!¡±


    The old man who was fishing swiftly returned when he heard the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s successful foundation establishment, laughing heartily.


    ¡°The sect is flourishing under my leadership, greatly gratifying me.¡± Meng Hong stood in the middle of the hall, chatting with E Yun and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Master, Junior Brother Chen has successfully formed his foundation, he is eligible to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could politely broach the topic, E Yun was already saying it outright.


    As it should be, Lu Yi, who is in charge of opening the secret realm, has been away handling some affairs. We might have to wait until he returns.¡±


    Meng Hong agreed without hesitation.


    Afterward, the Sect Leader continued talking with them for a while, before suddenly asking Chen Mobai a question.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been cultivating till now without a master, are you interested in becoming my disciple?¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai hesitated.


    He had heard that the Sect Leader had reached the Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment and was about to retreat to attain Core Formation. Now he is focused on cultivating the next Sect Leader.


    Taking on a disciple is definitely because he has recognized Chen Mobai¡¯s talents and wants to catch as many fish as possible.


    ¡°I prefer individual cultivation.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai refused.


    Although having Meng Hong as his master had many benefits, Chen carried too many secrets to avoid exposure-it would be better to cultivate solo.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Meng Hong could only sigh, shaking his head and signaling for them to leave.


    ¡°How is it?¡±


    After Chen Mobai and E Yun left, Meng Hong suddenly turned to look into the shadow of the hall, where Cang Qi emerged, handing him a scroll.


    ¡°We¡¯ve heard from our insiders in the Five Element Sect that Chun Yusu has been putting out assassination contracts on the black market.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s the target? What happened?¡±


    Meng Hong lifted his head abruptly with narrowed eyes, causing the temperature in the Shenmu Hall to seemingly drop several degrees, which made Cang Qi shiver.


    Someone took the contract, but up until now it hasn¡¯t been called off.¡±


    If it hasn¡¯t been called off, it means the mission has not been completed yet.


    ¡°What about Lu Yi¡¯s side?¡±


    ¡°Chen Guixian has not left Jian Country. He investigated all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the country, and found that a total of five people have left their residing places recently. The most suspicious one is Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain. Yuan Shaoyuan and his two brothers said they went on a business trip to Yun Country with the Luo Family. However their time of disappearance coincides with Chen Guixian becoming a true successor. Due to the delay in intelligence from Yun Country, we can¡¯t confirm if this is true. But Yuan Hongyuan mysteriously left Black Cloud Mountain yesterday and returned seriously injured.¡±


    ¡°Seriously injured? Are you sure?¡±


    Although he knew that Yuan Hongyuan might potentially be a spy implanted in Jian Country by an opposing sect, Meng Hong also knew this man achieved Foundation Establishment through force, and has astonishing battle power. Even a Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator could only hold their ground against him.


    ¡°Yes, Lu Yi reported that today, Yuan Hongyuan sent his men to buy elixirs for sword wounds in various Fang Markets. He was likely pitted against a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator and had a hard time.¡±


    ¡°A Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator!¡±


    Meng Hong and Cang Qi exchanged a glance. Thinking about the injury that Chen Mobai had earlier, an answer immediately emerged in their hearts.


    ¡°If it was really Chen Guixian, why didn¡¯t he say anything?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t had much contact with this kid, but he left a deep impression on me. He has a fiery temper and probably wants to fully recover before personally seeking revenge.¡±


    Cang Qi believed he was beginning to understand Chen Mobai, this simple-minded Sword Cultivator. Meng Hong thought for a moment, considering the explanation quite reasonable.


    Since he¡¯s not mentioning it, let¡¯s pretend we don¡¯t know either. Let¡¯s keep


    Yuan Hongyuan around as his sharpening stone.¡±


    ¡°However, this kid is really savage. He just broke through and picked a fight with Yuan Hongyuan, a renowned Foundation Establishment expert. He won against the odds, reminding me of Master Mo back in the old days.¡± Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff was known as the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness before his Core Formation, having managed to slain a Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator during his Early Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°It¡¯s been four years since the last batch of Foundation Building Pills were distributed in the Back to Sky Valley. Issue a notice in the name of Shenmu Hall, stating that the Divine Tree Secret Realm will open in a month. That should quicken the pace of those brats.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was unaware of the conversation that took place in the Shenmu Hall after he left.


    He followed E Yun to the Book Pavilion.


    The key to opening the Divine Tree Secret Realm has to be arranged by the Cultivation Technique Department, but the Foundation Building versions of the techniques ¡®Eternal Youth Sutra¡¯ and ¡®Red Flame Sword Jue¡¯ only require the corresponding identity nameplate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai took out his newly upgraded Foundation Establishment nameplate. The guardian of the Book Pavilion was still the elderly Hu surname cultivator.


    He clearly remembered Chen Mobai and was visibly shocked to see that the latter had achieved Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°A young genius indeed!¡±


    With a sigh, he felt his aging body and couldn¡¯t help but regret not fighting till the end to achieve Foundation Establishment through force in his youth.


    The Book Pavilion, naturally, is a treasure trove for other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect..

    However, Chen Mobai took the Foundation Establishment chapters of the Immortal Life Scripture and the Red Flame Sword Jue and left without any hesitation.


    ¡°Younger brother Chen¡¯s heart is as firm as a sword!¡±


    E Yun watched as Chen Mobai selected two books and returned within the time it took an incense stick to burn. He thought that in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, there was nothing beyond the sword.


    Chen Mobai could not explain himself and had to accept the assumption.


    What he was really thinking was to explore the Divine Tree Secret Realm before revealing his true capabilities and see the profound secrets of the much-praised heritage of the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, he had already achieved his two goals for infiltrating the Divine Wood Sect.


    The first was the Foundation Building Pill, which greatly facilitated his success in Foundation Establishment.


    The second was the Dual Aspect Skill to improve the chances of Core Formation. After obtaining the Immortal Life Scripture, which could be cultivated to the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, this goal could also be considered fulfilled.


    He was now ready to escape at any time.


    However, he had gained a reputation in the Divine Wood Sect, and if he could maintain his profile as a peerless genius in the Sword Dao without breaking it, he would still like to keep mingling here.


    After all, he liked the atmosphere here very much.


    No one disturbed his farming and cultivation.


    The two of them returned to E Yun¡¯s courtyard in Divine Wood City, where Chen Mobai would soon have a building of his own, a shop, and a Rank-3 Spirit Vein Cave Dwelling.


    Thinking of this made the idea of leaving the Divine Wood Sect even less appealing.


    Yuan Chiye was already waiting for them.


    ¡°There is only one bottle of God Nourishing Pills left, no Heart Stabilizing Talisman, but I did get the Nurturing Formation. But that¡¯s only because I¡¯m a True Disciple from the Formation Division and got there early.¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun frowned. Although his appearance was ordinary, his anger was quite formidable.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Ding Ying and Feng Hongxue failed in Foundation Establishment. They each exchanged for one bottle of God Nourishing Pills and a Heart Stabilizing Talisman. Not long after you left, the Shenmu Hall announced the impending opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm. The other dozen or so True Disciples who obtained the Foundation Building Pills were a bit impatient and exchanged for every Spiritual Object that could potentially improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The Heart Stabilizing Talisman and Nurturing Formation could calm the mind and were somewhat helpful during the out-of-body experience for those with insufficient Divine Sense.


    ¡°What about you? The Divine Tree Secret Realm needs to rest for a while before it can be opened again. If you miss this opportunity, even if you succeed in Foundation Establishment, you¡¯ll have to wait another three years.¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun realized that this was Meng Hong urging those senior True Disciples, who had obtained Foundation Building Pills but were hesitant to take the next step, to proceed.


    The last time the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened was when he, Hong He, and Zhou Wangshen all successfully established their Foundations.


    ¡°I was just about to discuss it with you. Should I use this Nurturing Formation first?¡±


    Hearing this, E Yun turned to look at Chen Mobai. The latter did not hesitate and immediately nodded.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, go ahead, and I¡¯ll wish you success in Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your good words, then I¡¯ll enter closed-door cultivation.¡±


    After saying this, Yuan Chiye showed a relieved expression on his face. If it were not for the command from Shenmu Hall, he might not have had the courage to take this step.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, this is a ¡®Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡¯ I obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm last time. I¡¯m still exploring its functions, but wearing it can clear your mind and resist external temptations. It¡¯s somewhat helpful for Foundation Establishment. You can use it first.¡±


    E Yun took out a leaf as thin as a cicada¡¯s wing and about the size of a palm from his storage bag.

    Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye were taken aback. This was the opportunity E Yun had obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Master.¡±


    Yuan Chiye accepted it without any ceremonial pretense.


    Chen Mobai also gave a high-quality Rank-1 Resurrection Talisman, which could help recover quickly in case of a failed Foundation Establishment.


    It was also a token of his goodwill..

 Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 231 Xiao Nanshan l

    Chapter 235: Chapter 231 Xiao Nanshan l


    Translator: 549690339


    After Yuan Chiye went into seclusion for his Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai inquired E Yun about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°This is a secret passed down orally in our Divine Wood Sect, now that you¡¯ve reached Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s no harm in telling you.¡±


    ¡°It is said that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was left behind by an ancient cultivator. The True Monarch Yuanyuan once entered it and, after acquiring the greatest opportunity, it should have collapsed and disappeared.¡±


    ¡°However, the True Monarch, out of compassion for all beings, felt that future cultivators should be given an opportunity. Hence, he painstakingly transplanted three Divine Trees and connected them to the Spirit Vein of the Giant Tree Ridge, reinforcing this Secret Realm, and even left behind an entrance that can be opened.¡±


    ¡°After you enter, there will be three paths, each representing a different type of test. The opportunity you get depends on this.¡±


    E Yun no longer treated Chen Mobai as an outsider, revealing the secrets passed down from the foundation of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai had no idea about ancient cultivators, Secret Realms or Divine Trees.


    However, True Monarch Yuanyuan was quite well-known.


    He was the most recent Ascended Monk in the Tianhe Realm. Since the Divine Tree Secret Realm had some association with him, the things inside must be extraordinary.


    ¡°What exactly are the three tests?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, the more he knew, the better prepared he could be.


    E Yun chuckled.


    ¡°Dao, Legal treasures, Talent!¡±


    ¡°Can you explain each of them?¡±


    E Yun didn¡¯t know the exact answer to this question, so he shook his head and simply shared his own experience.


    ¡°After entering the Secret Realm, all you need to do is show your true nature and advance in any of the three directions.¡±


    ¡°I fainted in front of the Dao tree, obtained the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf from the Legal treasures tree and from the Talent tree, I got an Ancient Method scroll.¡±


    ¡°Back then, when the three of us brothers entered the Secret Realm, Zhou Wangshen and I quickly passed out in front of the Dao tree. But when we passed out, our senior brother Hong He was still marching forward steadily, he may know something.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai thanked E Yun.


    In a competitive environment like the Tianhe Realm, E Yun¡¯s ability to generously share his experience and insights showed immense generosity.


    ¡°Is Senior Brother Hong He at the Giant Tree Ridge? Would it be inconvenient for me to visit him?¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai naturally asked a question.


    As for this outstanding head disciple of the previous generation, who was deemed as his equal, Chen Mobai always wanted to meet him.


    ¡°Well¡­after Senior Brother Hong He¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he¡¯s been in the Yun Meng Ze and hasn¡¯t returned. If you want to see him, you might have to look for him in Yun Meng Ze yourself.¡±


    Hong He is vastly different from Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. His temperament is solitary, but his talent is extraordinary, proficient in Body Forging, Sword Training, Formations, and Puppets.


    Just like Chen Mobai, they both are focused on cultivation.


    Yun Meng Ze is regarded as the most precious land in the Eastern Wilderness. Confident cultivators will choose to stay there for a long period of time.


    After all, the major merchants from Central State permanently station themselves near Fengyu Pass, ready to spend large sums of money to buy inner cores of demonic beasts.


    ¡°That¡¯s a shame.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only sigh. Then, pretending to be still recovering from his injury, he coughed a few times.


    Yun Meng Ze was too dangerous. Without a compelling reason, he would definitely not consider going there.


    Although Yuan Chiye was in seclusion, he arranged all the matters that E Yun requested before leaving.


    The benefits of the Elder of Foundation Establishment in the Divine Wood Sect were also claimed for Chen Mobai.


    Among the twelve departments, there is a Spiritual Vein Department.


    This department might sound like it controls the sect¡¯s Spirit Vein, but in reality, apart from the Spirit Vein, it also governs the property shops in the Giant Tree Ridge and the retail outlets of the Divine Wood Sect in the major Fang Markets of the Eastern Wilderness.


    After Chen Mobai was promoted to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his benefits were distributed by this department.


    However, he first needs to complete some procedures at the Reward Virtue Hall.


    With E Yun, the sect leader¡¯s disciple stepping in, all official procedures were handled in less than a day for Chen Mobai.


    In the grand hall of the Spirit Vein Department, there was a miniature model of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°The two elders, the ones that are lit up already have a owner. The rest, you can choose as you like,¡±


    A tall and mediocre-looking female Qi Practitioner escorted E Yun and Chen Mobai here, pointing at the floating, slightly transparent model in mid-air and said.


    Chen Mobai nodded his head slightly, looking closely.


    He found out that most of the courtyards and shops in the Divine Wood City were already taken, especially the busiest central street, which had none left at all.


    ¡°Our sect does not have this many Elders of Foundation Establishment, right?¡±


    E Yun frowned upon seeing that all of the 300 shops on the busiest street were taken.


    He himself had rented out his shop directly to one of his senior brothers, receiving an annual rent of a thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Indeed we do not have that many established elders, but there¡¯s no issue with the property rights of these 300 shops. If Elder E Yun has time, he can have a talk with our department head.¡±


    The Qi Practitioner from the Spirit Vein Department wiped the sweat off her forehead, answering E Yun¡¯s question a bit unconfidently.


    ¡°Are there any larger shops?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth, helping her out of the predicament.


    ¡°Yes, the larger the shop, the more remote the place is, Elder Chen you can look here.¡±


    The female Qi Practitioner let out a sigh of relief, quickly pointing to the south of Divine Wood City.


    ¡°This won¡¯t work, this place is inhabited by mortals. Even if the shop is big, it won¡¯t make much Spirit Stone profits.¡±


    E Yun immediately shook his head upon seeing this..

 Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: Chapter 231: Xiao Nanshan 2

    Chapter 236: Chapter 231: Xiao Nanshan 2


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Divine Wood City was originally an area inhabited by ordinary people. After all, many cultivators have descendants, and there are some tasks that require ordinary people to carry out. So, the sect decided to open a plain here. However, as time went on, the population gradually flourished and it became today¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s pick the largest one, I might open a rice shop or a tavern in the future, and I need a warehouse. It doesn¡¯t matter if the place is a bit remote.¡±


    Chen Mobai ended up selecting the largest shop in the southern part of the city, which was nearly a thousand square meters.


    ¡°Uncle Master has good vision, this place was originally a granary. But later to maintain hygiene, the Sect Leader promoted the use of Fasting Pills among mortals, and this granary became vacant and then was transformed into a shop.¡±


    After choosing the shop, Chen Mobai also selected a courtyard-house. Using the excuse of needing to manage the shop, he selected a two hundred-square-meter house in the south of the city.


    The main reason was for tranquility. After all, he was someone who would disappear at any time. Even though he would only stay at this house occasionally, if his neighbors were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, it could potentially expose him over the years.


    Although E Yun didn¡¯t think Chen Mobai¡¯s choices were good, he didn¡¯t intervene either.


    It wasn¡¯t until the final selection of the cultivation place, which was a Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, that he began to take it seriously.


    ¡°Junior Brother, the Rank-3 Spiritual Veins can be divided into upper, middle and lower grades. For the sake of convenient cultivation, you absolutely can¡¯t¡¯ be careless.¡±


    ¡°Elder Uncle, the upper-grade Rank-3 Spirit Veins were already picked clean twenty years ago.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator who said this started to sweat profusely again.


    Everyone wanted the best Spirit Veins. The disciples of the Spirit Vein Department depended on this privilege to gain high status within the sect.


    E Yun, as the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple, had his own upper-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein Cave Dwelling granted by Meng Hong after his Foundation Establishment. As for Zhou Wangshen, being a descendant of Elder Zhou, he didn¡¯t even need to be mentioned.


    Although Chen Mobai was praised as a peerless genius, if he wanted an upper-grade Rank-3 Spiritual Vein, he could only ask one of the Foundation Establishment elders to give up theirs.


    The Spirit Vein Department couldn¡¯t dare to offend people with such a major matter.


    ¡°If there are no upper-grade ones, there should still be middle-grade Rank-3 ones, right?¡±


    E Yun clearly knew the ins and outs as well. This Chen junior brother of his was simple-minded, only thinking about sword training and farming. He felt that if he didn¡¯t come along, the Spirit Vein Department might send him off with a lower-grade Rank-3 Cave Dwelling.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. There are still seven Rank-3 middle-grade Cave Dwellings. I¡¯ll mark them for the two Elders. You can see which one is suitable.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator immediately extended her index finger, cast a Bright Light Technique, and marked out the seven middle-grade Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings scattered around Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Huh, how come there are so many Spirit Fields here?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked again and again, discovering that large areas of open plains surrounded one of the spiritual veins. It seemed like they were all abandoned Spiritual Lands.


    The previous head of the Spiritual Planting Department tried to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice here and opened up sixty acres of Spirit Fields. After he passed away, this place was abandoned.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator, able to stay on duty in the Spirit Vein Department, was indeed competent and was able to answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question immediately.


    ¡°Rank-3 Spirit Rice? Could it be that this Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling was not just a middle-grade Rank-3 one before?¡±


    To open up a Rank-3 Spirit Field, some essence of the Spiritual Vein needed to be consumed. If these sixty acres were all Rank-3 Spirit Fields, the grade of this Spiritual Vein must not have been low before.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen is indeed from the Spiritual Planting Department. This Xiao Nanshan originally was a Rank-4 Spirit Vein, but its grade dropped to a middle-grade Rank-3 after the cultivation of the sixty acres of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai thought that this name sounded very pleasant and fit his low-profile personality.


    He looked again and again, feeling that this Spiritual Vein was just perfect for him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s choose this one.¡±


    E Yun also knew Chen Mobai¡¯s character, with his heart only set on sword training and farming. Although the Spiritual Vein level of this Xiao Nanshan ranked low among the seven middle-grade Rank-3 ones, who can resist so many Spirit Fields next to it!


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, we¡¯ll allocate Xiao Nanshan to you, but the cultivation rights to the sixty acres of Spirit Fields, you still need to go to the Spiritual Planting Department to process.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator reminded him beforehand, and Chen Mobai expressed his thanks.


    The Spiritual Planting Department, that much face he still had.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you on a trip. I am acquainted with Vice-Minister Jin of your Spiritual Planting Department.¡±


    E Yun saw Chen Mobai to the end. After helping him secure Xiao Nanshan, he again accompanied him to the main hall of the Spiritual Planting Department. Upon arrival, E Yun went to find Jin Shanping, while Chen Mobai went to pay his respects to Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Master¡­Uncle Chen!¡±


    Sun Gaochang was also here with Lu Jun, who almost didn¡¯t manage to switch his address when he saw Chen Mobai.


    With the announcement that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was about to open, almost everyone knew that a True Disciple had successfully established his Foundation.


    And a bit of inquiry revealed who it was.


    However, when Lu Jun actually saw that Chen Mobai had established his Foundation, he still had a look of astonishment on his face.


    The image of that boy, who had just graduated from Bud Hall, receiving seed downcastedly and cultivating his Spirit Field, was still in his mind.


    In the blink of an eye, that boy had accomplished a breakthrough that he could never complete in his lifetime.


    ¡°Brother Lu, long time no see.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t accustomed to addressing people based on their cultivation level, so he still affectionately addressed them as brothers. Nobody else cared, it¡¯s common to be like this just after breaking through, but after a decade or two, you¡¯d get used to addressing people based on their cultivation level.


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve returned in glory, at last, you¡¯ve stopped by. I thought you wouldn¡¯t want to stay in the Spirit Plant Department any more after you established your Foundation?¡±


    The plump Sun Gaochang was really happy that Chen Mobai came to visit him first. He especially prepared a pot of wine to entertain him.


    This wine, in fact, was bought from Chen Mobai himself.


    ¡°No way, in my entire life I¡¯ve had no other interests than farming and brewing.


    Even if I were to become the Sect Leader, I wouldn¡¯t leave the Spirit Plant Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words surprised Sun Gaochang slightly, but he took them as a metaphor by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Have you chosen a Spirit Vein yet? I know a place, a Rank-3 Lower-grade Cave Dwelling. Although it doesn¡¯t seem much, at the foot of the mountain, they¡¯ve opened up twenty acres of medicinal fields. If you take it over, I¡¯ll put in some good words for you so you can get the Cave Dwelling and medicinal fields completely. Even if you don¡¯t manage them yourself and lease them to Sect Disciples, you could earn at least a thousand sect contributions every year.¡±


    That¡¯s precisely what I wanted to discuss with you, Inspector Sun¡­¡±


    Since Sun Gaochang brought it up, Chen Mobai honestly told him his purpose of coming.


    ¡°Xiao Nanshan, it really is the most suitable place for you.¡±


    As the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, Sun Gaochang naturally knew about the abandoned Spirit Field near Xiao Nanshan. He understood immediately why Chen Mobai chose that place, and he couldn¡¯t help but applaud.


    ¡°Lu Jun, issue my order and get this matter taken care of. Before Brother Chen and I finish this pot of wine and he leaves, transfer the rights to farm that sixty-acre Spirit Field for the next ten years over to him.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Inspector.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed by Sun Gaochang¡¯s quick agreement.


    Previously, when he was exchanging for Foundation Building Pills and was short on Sect Contribution, he borrowed from him to make up the shortfall.


    Now, he harbored no more grudges about being talked into joining the Spirit


    Plant Department by Lu Jun. Even though Sun Gaochang¡¯s attitude improved only after he had revealed his talents, Chen Mobai owes him credit for becoming a True Disciple and obtaining the Foundation Building Pills that quickly.


    He decided to do his best in farming for the Spirit Plant Department and create even better profits.


    ¡°By the way, Brother Chen, our Spirit Plant Department is part of the Reward Virtue Hall. After your foundation establishment, if you¡¯re willing, you could also join the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    At the end of the drinking session, Sun Gaochang suddenly brought up this.


    Chen Mobai was originally going to agree offhand, but he remembered E Yun and though he should consider him since he officially belonged to E Yun.


    He told Sun Gaochang the truth, and the latter was still smiling and politely saw him off.


    By the time he left, Lu Jun had already completed the transfer of the rights to farm the sixty acres of Spirit Field.


    That evening, he discussed the matter with E Yun, who responded with a guess after a slight smile.


    ¡°The Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall and my master are the only two cultivators who¡¯ve perfected their Foundation Establishment in the Divine Wood Sect. If my master retires to form his core, the calls for him to take over as sect leader will be high.¡±


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If he becomes the sect leader, the Reward Virtue Hall will need a successor. I guess he has his eye on you.¡±


    Chen Mobai fell silent.


    He was worried.


    What should he do?


    Seems like his genius persona is becoming more and more deeply ingrained in people¡¯s minds..

 Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 232: Taking Disciples l

    Chapter 237: Chapter 232: Taking Disciples l


    Translator: 549690339


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 581]


    Chen Mobai stood atop a mountain peak, shrouded by cloud and mist, looking at the Spirit Vein Level displayed on his phone screen and subtly nodded.


    Even though Xiao Nanshan was considered to be on the verge of falling from Rank-3 intermediate grade, it still had quite a bit of leeway. Aside from the main peak where he was, there were five shorter peaks nearby.


    Standing on the mountaintop, looking down.


    A winding path stretched from the base of the mountain all the way up here. Perhaps it hadn¡¯t been maintained for a long time; the entire mountain was filled with rain-eroded, slightly rounded rubble.


    However, there were resilient Red Sun Trees growing amongst the stones. Chen Mobai also spotted some wild weeds haphazardly growing in the cracks of the stones, and even saw two bright red flowers.


    Going over for a closer look, he found that they were a type of Spirit Grass called Gold Lamp Flower. Consuming it could supplement Elemental Energy and treat venomous bites and stings.


    ¡°Uncle Chen.¡±


    At this moment, two people were walking up from the path at the foot of the mountain.


    A man and woman, specifically Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect from Yun Country¡¯s Southstream Market with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Not only had Liu Wenbo come himself, but he had also brought over many mortals. These were all workers hired by Chen Mobai to re-cultivate the sixty-acre Spirit Field around Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, the Yubud Lingmi at Small Yang Ridge will take some time before they can be harvested. I¡¯ve instructed Wang Junior Brother and Feng Junior Brother to keep a constant eye on rainfall and pest control. I will also go and check from time to time.¡±


    Zhuo Ming spoke with an excited look on her face as she regarded Xiao Nanshan.


    Even though the mountain wasn¡¯t high, the abundant Spiritual Energy was definitely palpable. She increasingly believed that siding with Chen Mobai was the most correct decision she had made in her life.


    She knew that she should have pledged herself back at the South Creek Market. Maybe by now, she would already be a direct disciple.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, you¡¯ve just established your foundation. There¡¯s a lot of space up here in Xiao Nanshan with few people. You need a disciple to manage these odds and ends. I wonder if I could have the honor of becoming your apprentice.¡±


    While Zhuo Ming hesitated on how to broach the topic, Liu Wenbo, who was more experienced, boldly asked to become an apprentice.


    ¡°Well¡­¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such audacity, and he was slightly at a loss.


    He was still a student himself and hadn¡¯t even graduated. The idea of taking on an apprentice seemed premature given his lack of experience and ability.


    However, he also thought about the fact that the master-disciple relationship in the Tianhe Realm differed from that within the Immortal Sect. Here, besides imparting skills and knowledge, it was more of a traditional, supportive relationship.


    Liu Wenbo also had a point ¨C managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field by himself in the future would indeed be quite challenging, so cultivating some capable disciples was necessary.


    But compared to Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming would be more suitable.


    After all, following the previous Sect-wide competition, she came to Small Yang Ridge with him. Her professional knowledge had already been thoroughly taught by Chen Mobai. Over the past half a year, she had become quite adept at growing Yubud Lingmi.


    However, since Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t take the initiative to ask, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t willing to invite her.


    ¡°You¡¯re currently working under Senior Brother E Yun. If I were to accept you as a disciple, I should at least give him a heads up.¡±


    ¡°This is actually Senior Brother E Yun¡¯s suggestion. He says that someone as talented as yourself should concentrate on cultivation, and your disciples can handle the trifling matters.¡±


    After hearing these words, Liu Wenbo knew that Chen Mobai had agreed and delight filled his face as he bowed in submission.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, why don¡¯t you accept me too?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face blushed in urgency. If she had known it was so easy, she would have asked to become his disciple after the sect competition half a year ago.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, whether I accept one or two students. Consider yourselves provisional disciples for now. When I return from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, the Jade Bud Spirit Wine I brewed last year should also be ready. At that time, I¡¯ll invite Senior Brother Qi and other friends to come. Then you can officially become my disciples.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to just go with the flow.


    ¡°We pay respects to our Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming immediately bowed in unison, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship.


    ¡°These two Crimson Flame Sword Talismans can serve as your welcome gifts.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed out two talismans he had drawn himself. Both disciples accepted them with delight, contemplating what they should prepare as gifts for their official discipleship ceremony.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take this opportunity to discuss any doubts you have about your cultivation. Although I haven¡¯t cultivated for much longer than you, I do have some unique insights on the Scripture of Eternal Life.¡±


    These words were humble.


    Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, among those of equal level, Chen Mobai had the deepest understanding of the Scripture of Eternal Life.


    After all, with deductions from the puppet and the effect of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, his understanding of this cultivation technique at the Qi Cultivation stage was almost on par with the sages who created it.

    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming spoke in unison, then glanced at each other, realizing they hadn¡¯t yet determined who was the senior or junior among them.


    ¡°Wenbo, you go first. From now on, you¡¯ll be the eldest brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming made a mortified face. The opportunity to be the elder sister had just slipped from her hands.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m simultaneously practicing the Scripture of Eternal Life and Flame Sword Charm. The former is already at Qi Cultivation Level 8, but the latter is stuck at Qi Cultivation Level 6. This is why I can¡¯t master the Dual-phase Rotation..¡±

 Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Chapter 232: Taking a Disciple_2

    Chapter 238: Chapter 232: Taking a Disciple_2


    Translator: 549690339


    To master the Dual-Phase Technique, the discipline must achieve the seventh layer of Qi cultivation for both phases.


    If the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± and ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± have both reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, invoking the Dual-phase Rotation could harness the power of the ninth layer in a short period.


    Of course, it merely elevates minor realms. The bottleneck between Qi cultivation and Foundation Establishment cannot be overcome by this technique.


    ¡°Inject into me one of your spiritual energy.


    Even though Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t understand why, he obediently did as instructed.


    Chen Mobai held up the Spirit-Testing Instruments he had hidden in his palm and inspected his disciple¡¯s Spiritual Roots.


    Liu Wenbo: [Gold 13, Wood 27, Water 28, Fire 22, Earth 10]


    ¡°How old are you this year?¡±


    ¡°I will turn thirty by year¡¯s end.¡±


    Liu Wenbo answered honestly. It¡¯s indeed commendable that at his age, he could cultivate the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation while simultaneously practicing the Dual-Phase Technique.


    ¡°You have time to switch cultivation techniques. The ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± doesn¡¯t suit you, but you can practice the Dual-Phase Technique that combines the cultivation techniques of water and wood. However, since this impacts your life, the decision must ultimately be yours.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished these words, he asked Liu Wenbo about his confusion in cultivating the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡±.


    He discovered that, although he had reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation in this technique, it was mostly due to forcefully using Spirit Stones and pills. His understanding of the essence of the cultivation technique was limited to a few spells suitable for magical duels.


    Chen Mobai again asked Liu Wenbo to circulate his spiritual power. Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t use the Formless Mannequin to predict, his own experience and discernment helped him point out more than ten areas where Liu Wenbo could improve.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo circulated the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± again according to Chen Mobai¡¯s tips, to find that both his speed and Spirit Qi refining efficiency had increased by half. This greatly surprised him, spurring deeper respect and more profound obeisance towards his newly consecrated teacher.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the inheritance of knowledge and experience is highly valued. Only to direct disciples or close blood relatives is such candid guidance given.


    This deed of Chen Mobai made their disciples feel that they were not just laborers, but real inheritors.


    ¡°Hmm, you can temporarily stop practicing the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, and raise the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. Then, you can try competing for the position of a true disciple.


    As for Liu Wenbo, E Yun and Yuan Chiye initially planned to nurture him to follow their faction as the successor of the True Discipleship. After all, it was indeed very quick for Chen Mobai, who had been confirmed as their symbol, to succeed in establishing his foundation just after being a True Disciple for half a year.


    If Yuan Chiye also succeeds in his foundation building next, there would only be one other true disciple left in their faction from the Spirit Beast Department. That would be too few.


    ¡°Teacher, what about me? I am of average aptitude and don¡¯t wish to cultivate the Dual-Phase Technique. I just hope to obtain a Foundation Building Pill in my lifetime.¡±


    Zhuo Ming passed her spiritual power over and noticed Chen Mobai looking at it with a serious face. She thought her practiced spiritual power was too inferior and it displeased the teacher.


    ¡°When you tested for spiritual roots back in the Fang Market, you were a three spiritual root cultivator, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    ¡°Correct, I remember it clearly, there were three colors: green, black, and


    yellow.¡±


    Zhuo Ming would never forget the scene of testing her spiritual roots at the Southstream Market.


    While her aptitude is not as peak as the teacher¡¯s nearly two spiritual roots, she was extremely pleased with her ordinary three spiritual roots as a loose cultivator.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at the results shown on the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his hands with a bizarre expression.


    Zhuo Ming: [Gold 3, Wood 20, Water 21, Fire 9, Earth 471


    The attribute points of her Earth Spiritual Root nearly filled half of the screen. To avoid measurement errors, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming transfer another ray of spiritual power to him.


    However, the results were exactly the same. Perhaps there was a slight fluctuation in her emotions-the Gold attribute had reduced a little, and the Fire attribute had increased slightly.


    Yet, the Earth 47 remained wholly unchanged.


    This child is born for farming.


    ¡°Have you ever considered switching to Earth Attribute Cultivation


    Techniques?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Zhuo Ming had been practicing her father¡¯s ¡°Classic of Materia Medica¡± since she was a child and switched to the same attribute ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± when she entered the sect. She believed that her constitution was suited for Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    But now Chen Mobai was telling her she should practice Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques. This took her by surprise.


    ¡°Your Three Spiritual Roots aptitude is already above average, yet you have been stuck at the Rank-6 Qi Cultivation stage for four years, I believe it¡¯s because your constitution is not suitable for the Longevity Spiritual Power cultivation technique.¡±


    Chen Mobai was being completely honest, as for whether Zhuo Ming, this disciple, was willing to give up the wood attribute cultivation technique that she had practiced for nearly twenty years, it was something she had to decide for herself.


    Just like Liu Wenbo, he again pointed out some things about Zhuo Ming¡¯s Longevity Power Cultivation and found that although her realm is low, her foundation is quite steady.


    Running through her spiritual power cycle, Chen Mobai found only five or six problems, which, although few, made Zhuo Ming¡¯s Longevity Spiritual Power flow more smoothly, even offering traces of loosening the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation layer that she had been unable to break through.


    However, this only twisted Zhuo Ming¡¯s thoughts further.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, she felt that with just another year or so of cultivation, she could break through to the Rank-7 Qi Cultivation.


    If she chose to switch to earth attribute cultivation techniques, due to her not having the same attribute spiritual power, it¡¯s uncertain how many years would be delayed.


    ¡°Master, I¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just giving a suggestion, just like with Wen Bo, this affects your entire life and requires you to make the decision.¡±


    After instructing two disciples, Chen Mobai saw the originally rising sun was now directly overhead. It was midday.


    He intended to comprehend the Longevity Spiritual Power cultivation technique for Foundation Establishment and Red Flame Sword Jue, so he waved his hand, releasing the two pondering disciples.


    ¡°Disciple takes his leave.¡±


    The two immediately turned around to leave.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    But at this time, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something and called to his two disciples.


    ¡°Master, any orders?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting in our sect for the Divine Tree Secret Realm to open, and I happen to have two things at hand that need to be done. Can you two help me handle them?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming exchanged glances, nodded their heads in unison, seemingly quite happy.


    A disciple is ready to lend a hand when needed.


    In the Tianhe Realm, being given work by one¡¯s master indicated that one was a highly regarded disciple.


    ¡°Before I joined the sect, I had a Water Mansion in Yun Country where some Spirit Plants are just about to mature. Can you help me harvest them?¡± Chen Mobai took out a piece of white paper and drew a simple map.


    Anyway, the most valuable high-grade Spirit Stones in the Water Mansion have already been taken by him, and that Green Paulownia Seedling was being raised by him in Crimson Mountain.


    The remaining Jade Bamboo was originally intended for sustainable development. But now that Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level is higher, he felt it wasn¡¯t worth his concern and decided to harvest everything instead.


    ¡°Wen Bo, I remember you¡¯re in the Spirit Beasts Department, I need some


    Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbit Fur for my Talisman Brush. Can you find out for me how many Spirit Stones it would cost or which elder I need to contact? Let me know when you have news.¡±


    After assigning the two tasks, Chen Mobai finally got some peace.


    He activated a Wooden House Talisman at the top of Xiao Nanshan and entered. Sitting on a cushion inside, he began reading the subsequent chapters of Longevity Spiritual Power that he had just received from the Book Pavilion. There are four stages, starting from the nth stage up to the 14th stage. These represent the early, middle, late, and final stages of foundation establishment respectively.


    This last 14th stage, in addition to the perfection of foundation establishment, also contains the cultivation method from foundation establishment to core formation. Theoretically, this version of the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands should allow him to reach core formation using the Dual-phase Rotation.


    According to E Yun, this cultivation technique has twenty stages in total, which could theoretically allow cultivation to mid Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, the highest cultivation level in the Divine Wood Sect was held by Elder Zhou, who had only cultivated to the 17th stage.


    After reconciling with the Five Elements Sect, this elder had been in seclusion, trying to break through to the 18th stage of Gold Core Perfection and then attempting to transition to Nascent Soul Formation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he was already a Foundation Establishment elder, the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s possession also has a matching cultivation spell.


    What he was most interested in was the so-called Domain Expansion, the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation .


    However, to cultivate this formation, a ¡°tree seed¡± is required.


    This Tree Seed is made by refining a Spirit Tree. The most complete system within the Divine Wood Sect begins with the Rank-1 Red-sun Spirit Tree, followed by the Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree, and the Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    As for the Rank-4 Spirit Trees, there are only three Divine Trees throughout Giant Tree Ridge and neither of the two Gold Core elders could refine them..

 Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: Chapter 233: Cultivation Technique_l

    Chapter 239: Chapter 233: Cultivation Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Giant Tree Ridge was originally not home to so many spirit trees.


    After the True Monarch Yuanyuan planted three divine trees, over six thousand years passed before the current flourishing scenery came to be.


    The three divine trees are known as the Everlife Wood. Because the spirit vein of the Giant Tree Ridge contains both earth and fire attributes, they proliferate and form the unique tri-yang Spirit Trees of Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai was most familiar with the rank-1 Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    When he first joined the Divine Wood Sect, he has even earned a fortune in Spirit Stones from chopping and splitting wood in the Bud Hall.


    This type of spirit tree grows quickly and the general usage is for firewood, while its bark and leaves can be used to make talisman paper.


    The rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree, however, is very valuable. Generally, only one out of ten thousand red-sun spirit trees could possibly advance to become a Green-sun Spirit Tree.


    This type of Spirit Tree has many significant uses. Aside from burning and making talisman paper, the tree juice also serves as a second-grade spiritual medicine.


    Moreover, because of the transformation and absorption of enough earth and fire energy, the tree¡¯s spiritual power is balanced and harmonious, making it an on-demand material for artefact refining.


    The Divine Wood Sword that Chen Mobai borrowed before was made from Green-sun Spiritual Wood, and most rank-2 puppets made by the Divine Wood Sect also use this material.


    Even mortal humans who wear a piece of Green-sun Wood could potentially be invulnerable to chills and free from all diseases.


    The Green-sun Spirit Tree¡¯s next evolution is the rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    The transformation of this type of tree is extremely harsh. It comes from the imbalance of its body¡¯s three attributes of earth, wood, Qi and fire, resulting in the fire spiritual power absorbing and swallowing the other two, ultimately transforming into Green-sun Fire, which then burns itself.


    A Green-sun Spirit Tree that can withstand this calamity can then transform into rank-3.


    However, in the thousands of years of Giant Tree Ridge¡¯s existence, Green-sun Spirit Trees capable of nurturing fire seeds without being turned to ash are very rare.


    ¡°Green-sun fire? Spirit fire generated inside the tree! Could this be the ¡®Fire in Wood¡¯!?¡±


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai remembered an TV show he watched as a child, in which a young deity, who resided in his mother¡¯s womb for three years, became the disciple of a sage after causing trouble.


    The young deity collected three fire types: Fire in Wood, Fire in Stone, and Fire in Air and cultivated a terrifying Immortal Technique ¨C ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡±.


    This True Fire can burn stones and hills, nothing can escape it, dominating everything.


    However, because the extraction of the ¡°Fire in Wood¡± requires burning a lot of forest resources and is very harmful to the environment, it has been explicitly prohibited by the Immortal Gates for practice for thousands of years.


    But here in Giant Tree Ridge, because the Red-sun Spirit Trees grow prolifically, the Divine Wood Sect frequently assigns woodcutting missions in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    Chen Mobai immediately took out his mobile phone.


    He uses his alternate account, Tortoise Immortal, to log on to the proxy ¡°Dao Cultivation Technique Library¡± and typed in ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡±, surprisingly yielding a result.


    It¡¯s a pity, this Immortal Technique is a divine skill derived from the Tian Shu, to prevent those from the Immortal Gates from wasting time on it, downloading and checking it requires rank-4 permissions. The software of the Immortal Gate, which the Tortoise Immortal operates, is only a rank-3 user. Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    Even if he could download the Samadhi True fire, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cultivate it with his current realm.


    With this matter put to the back of his mind, Chen Mobai went back to looking at the crux of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation ¨C the tree seed.


    Condensing tree seeds is also a major business in the Divine Wood Sect, as the disciples who practice the longevity scriptures are most common.


    If there is no tree seed to accompany, to bring out the full power of this cultivation method, one cannot leave the land of the spirit tree, making it quite inflexible.


    The rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is the cheapest. The lower grade ones only need 20 Spirit Stones to purchase.


    After all, Red-sun Spirit Trees are ubiquitous, and even when condensing tree seeds fails, there is not much loss.


    However, the rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree is different.


    Back in the day on the Green Light Island, the Spirit Tree that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were guarding along with Wang Yuanwu, was a Green-sun Spirit Tree.


    This type of Spirit Tree is a major resource of the Divine Wood Sect to open the market and even for battle, the complete transplantation of thirty-six of them can establish a large-scale ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    The large formation draws in the essence of the earth¡¯s veins and connects the heaven and earth¡¯s elemental energies to condense the formidable ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± of the Longevity Scripture.


    Chen Mobai has witnessed the power of the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±


    The rank-2 Demonic Beasts, when hit directly, are instantly vaporized.


    As such, every Green-sun Spirit Tree is considered a strategic resource of the Divine Wood Sect. It would not be considered for condensing any tree seeds, and losing any one of them could result in responsibility being pursued by the sect.


    But Chen Mobai is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator. For him, the rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is just a practice.


    On the other hand, the Green-sun Tree Seed of rank-2 has prices ranging from two thousand to over ten thousand Spirit Stones in the sect, depending on the quality.


    After all, there is a huge difference between each level of rank-2.


    The top rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree can even attempt to condense the Green-sun Fire.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, there are long-standing tasks to acquire Fire-Green Sun Seeds with prices starting at ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    Even though it¡¯s expensive, every time Green Sun Tree Seeds or Green-sun Fire Seeds go on sale, they are immediately snapped up.


    Chen Mobai remembered the Sect¡¯s competition, his adversary Mu Yuan seemed to have a rank-2 Green-sun Tree Seed, but under Chen¡¯s overwhelming Rainbow Sword Qi, he was soundly defeated.


    Looking back now, Mu Yuan, being the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple, had he not been overshadowed by Chen Mobai¡¯s dazzling emergence, he would have likely been the champion of the Sect competition last year.


    Chen Mobai realized he was still too poor..

 Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: Chapter 233 – Cultivation Technique_2

    Chapter 240: Chapter 233 ¨C Cultivation Technique_2


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai tapped the spirit stones in his storage bag, and after subtracting the ones needed for cultivating the Triple Yang Body, he was left with 5 intermediate-grade spirit stones and 107 lower-grade spirit stones.


    Indeed, his next step would need to involve earning more spirit stones apart from cultivation.


    Or should he cultivate the Condensing Tree Seed Method?


    After careful consideration, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    After the Foundation Establishment, his first goal would undoubtedly be to enhance his realm.


    Next, he would devote his main efforts to farming. After all, he couldn¡¯t let the sixty acres of Spirit Field in Xiao Nanshan go to waste.


    Moreover, the Eternal Life Sutra also mentioned that when cultivating this technique, if coupled with farming or spirit plants, an associated phenomena would occur, where the two would promote each other, making the work half as hard for twice the result.


    If there is any energy left after farming, Chen Mobai decided to work hard on improving his Sword Dao Realm.


    After all, his current persona is that of an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius. He should strive just in case this persona becomes a reality.


    After Sword Dao, there is the Puppetry Technique.


    Although Che Yucheng said that it¡¯s enough to just pass down the technique, since Chen Mobai has become a disciple, he felt that he couldn¡¯t let his teacher down.


    Aside from these, there was also the making of talismans and brewing wine to earn spirit stones.


    After all, everything is incomplete without spirit stones.


    Cultivation, farming, Sword Dao, puppetry, talisman making¡­


    Having managed the accounts, he felt fortunate that he had successfully established his foundation. With the life span of four centuries plus the life span added by the Eternal Life Sutra for a century, he had at least three hundred years of life.


    Otherwise, with such distractions, it would be unlikely for him to cultivate both techniques to Perfection at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Above the Eternal Life Sutra, besides the strongest Heavenly Wood Divine Light, there were also defensive techniques such as the ¡°Spirit Leaf Technique¡±, ¡°Life Technique¡±, and offensive techniques like ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder¡±, ¡°Sky Rotation Wooden Arrow¡±, ¡°Boundless Falling Wood¡±, ¡°Divine Wood Sword Slash¡±, ¡°Alpha Wood Soldier¡± and so on.


    Without exception, these spells could be incorporated into the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, where their power could be increased when used in conjunction with the formation.


    He still needs to find ways to get a tree seed.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading the Eternal Life Sutra, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    If he couldn¡¯t afford to buy rank-2, then he would go for a rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed first.


    He took out a Message Talisman, wrote a few lines, and then sent it to Liu Wenbo.


    He didn¡¯t want to waste this bit of time. Since his disciple happened to be outside on business, he might as well take care of this at the same time.


    At this moment, he felt that taking a disciple seemed to be a really good idea.


    Next, he opened up the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±.


    This Fire Attribute cultivation technique was much simpler compared to the flashy Eternal Life Sutra.


    It also requires cultivating to the fourteenth layer of perfection at the Foundation Establishment before entering Core Formation.


    Besides the realm, it contains talismans and sword techniques, which are interrelated.


    After the ¡°Red Flame Sword Talisman¡±, there is the intermediate-grade rank-2 ¡°Purple Fire Sword Talisman¡±, and the top-grade rank-2 ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    Among them, if the ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡± is cultivated to the extreme, it can possess the power of a rank-3 lower-grade talisman.


    Above that, there are the intermediate-grade rank-3 ¡°Golden Flame Sword Talisman¡± and the top-grade rank-3 ¡°Great Sun Sword Talisman¡±.


    However, these two talismans are written in the Core Formation Section, and only their names are in the Foundation Establishment Section that Chen Mobai has.


    The Foundation Establishment Section of Red Flame Sword Jue also records the two Sword Cultivation Realms following Sword Light like a Rainbow, which are ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± and ¡°Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡±.


    Red Flame Sword Rainbow, Purple Fire Sword Light, Green Flames Sword Slaughter!


    The steps for upgrading and improving are clearly shown. One can¡¯t help but admit, the cultivation tools used for fighting in the Tianhe Realm were so well organized that even Chen Mobai found them impressive.


    The cultivators here put basically all of their energy into this aspect.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivated Pure Yang Spiritual Power has all the characteristics of fire attribute Spiritual Power, hence he could easily use Pure Yang Spiritual Power to operate all talisman techniques and sword techniques of the Red Flame Sword Jue, even possibly with greater power.


    He decided to spend some time learning this technique, at least to practice it to the Red Flame Sword Rainbow.


    After all, he is currently the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius.


    After reading these two Divine Wood Sect cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then took out a box of Mind Incense.


    This was the rank-2 Mind Incense that he bought on Xianmen Net, used for cultivating the second layer of Divine Manipulation Technique.


    He didn¡¯t know what kind of trials await him in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It¡¯s better to practice ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± first in case there¡¯s a fight, so he can control the Formless Puppet and launch a pincer attack.


    With two against one, he shouldn¡¯t lose under the same realm conditions!


    Because it was inconvenient to leave Xiao Nanshan during this time, Chen Mobai requested another month of leave from Che Yucheng, using the cultivation of Divine Manipulation Technique as an excuse. After Che Yucheng asked about it, he immediately approved it.


    He only had one requirement, don¡¯t fail at the end of the year.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai had no worries at all. Because after the Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense had already surpassed that of Qi Practitioners.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He would gain an understanding after thinking once about the related knowledge of rank-1, and although rank-2 is slightly difficult, as long as he was serious, he wouldn¡¯t have the difficult understanding situation like before, and would understand after reading it two-to-three times.


    Becuase of this, after Foundation Establishment, the teachers at the Dance Tool Dao Academy weren¡¯t so insistent on having them attend classes.


    But since credits can be exchanged for many precious things in the Taoist Academy Treasure House, many senior Foundation Establishment students would sign up for several major and elective courses each year, although they wouldn¡¯t go to classes and only appear during the final exams.


    The academy also implicitly allows this.


    After all, many teachers only possessed the Foundation Establishment realm themselves..

 Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Chapter 233 Cultivation Technique_3

    Chapter 241: Chapter 233 Cultivation Technique_3


    Translator: 549690339


    Evening.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s two new disciples had returned.


    ¡°Master, here¡¯s the rabbit fur you asked for. I spoke with Brother Zhou from the Spirit Beasts Department. Turns out they had some in stock. They gave me a box for 10 Spirit Stones.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed over a box made of Red Sun Wood. After Chen Mobai opened it, he found it was filled with slender, straight, white rabbit hairs that faintly shimmered with Spiritual Light.


    ¡°Well done.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the spiritual quality of the fur and found it to be of excellent quality. It could have been cut from a Rank-2 superior-grade Mysterious Spirit Rabbit.


    ¡°We¡¯re just doing what¡¯s expected of us. Oh, I remembered that you also needed Rank-1 tree seeds. I happen to have two. Tell me if they¡¯re what you¡¯re looking for. If not, I¡¯ll purchase some more from The Divine Wood City Spirit Plant Store.¡±


    ¡°Huh, tree seeds are sold by the Spirit Plant department?¡±


    After hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was surprised. But then it made sense that such things would fall under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Plant Department.


    Had he known, he would have directly asked Sun Gaochang or Lu Jun.


    ¡°Creating tree seeds requires knowledge in Spirit Plants, Talisman Making, Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Anyone in the sect can make Rank-1 tree seeds, but the making of Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed requires permission from the Spirit Plant Department. The quality of privately made tree seeds can¡¯t compare to those sold by the department.¡±


    After explaining this, Liu Wenbo offered a dark red lump of wood about the size of a thumb ¨C a Rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed.


    Once Chen Mobai took hold of it and felt its vitality, he was convinced that with his spiritual power, he could grow it into a towering tree in an instant.


    ¡°Master, combining the tree seed and the Heavenly Wood Talisman can save a lot of time and spiritual power.¡±


    At this point, Liu Wenbo handed over a ¡°Heavenly Wood Talisman¡±. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give his apprentice a mental thumbs up.


    This disciple was tactful and reliable, far more so than Zhuo Ming who was standing aside.


    ¡°Well done, Wen Bo. Here¡¯s an intermediate grade Spirit Stone for your trouble.¡±


    The quality of this Rank-1 tree seed was good. Coupled with the Heavenly Wood Talisman and the rabbit fur, the total cost came to about 100 Spirit Stones. Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t let his disciple spend this much money. He reimbursed him on the spot.


    Liu Wenbo tried to refuse, but ultimately accepted under Chen Mobai¡¯s insistence.


    ¡°Master, Sister and I discussed it. You can¡¯t be without someone attending to your needs. I haven¡¯t been home since I joined the sect two years ago. I¡¯ll go to Yun Country, while Sister remains at Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai agreed with his logic and nodded in approval.


    ¡°Alright, after Wenbo departs, Zhuo Ming you will need to work hard. I¡¯m going to retreat and cultivate a new spell, you¡¯ll manage the affairs at Xiaon Nanshan.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who finally gets a chance to shine, stepped forward with enthusiasm, answering loudly.


    Once the two departed,

    Chen Mobai set up a Rank-2 Formation obtained from the Spirit Plant Department atop the mountain before he began to cultivate the second layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique.


    Inside his Sea of Knowledge, the jade-green paulownia tree that had emerged from the successful cultivation of Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, had now blossomed and borne fruit.


    He lit the Mind Incense, feeling a cool sensation surge into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion through his mouth and nose.


    Chen Mobai started to apply the Diverging Divine Consciousness Technique, planning to split the jade-green Paulownia tree in two. Suddenly, there was a flash of Spiritual Light.


    He severed the root and stem of the blooming Paulownia flower atop the tree..

    The second layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, Diverging Divine Consciousness, requires one to split their own Divine Sense.


    Chen Mobai researched this topic online and, based on what cultivators described, the degree of pain was more than most humans could bear.


    It feels as if one¡¯s head was struck heavily with a stick, and even with the aid of Mind Incense, one would need a month to recover from the weakness brought about by the fracturing of one¡¯s Divine Sense.


    Even though Chen Mobai had great confidence in himself, he was still somewhat apprehensive about this unknown and severe pain.


    Thus, before he formally split his Divine Sense, he thought it¡¯d be better to perform a little experiment first.


    Splitting the Divine Consciousness Forming of the Green Paulownia Seedling into two must be painful, but plucking a bloom or fruit from it shouldn¡¯t hurt as much, right?


    As Chen Mobai thought this, his Divine Sense slightly moved and he felt as if a thin needle gently pricked his forehead, the pain was almost imperceptible.


    Then, the bloom or fruit fell from the top of the Green Paulownia Seedling and planted itself at the edge of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    The Divine Manipulation Technique was activated, and the nurturing effects of Mind Incense began to display.


    Chen Mobai saw the flower or fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling rapidly transform into a seed before beginning to sprout and grow one, two, three tender buds.


    This indicated that the consciousness he had divided in such a short period, had grown to a realm equivalent to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.


    The principal Divine Consciousness hasn¡¯t suffered any notable damage, only weakened by about ten to twenty percent.


    It remained at the Foundation Establishment level.


    Compared to what others described after practicing Divine Manipulation Technique¡ªsevere damage to elemental energy, clouded consciousness, unbearable pain¡ªhe felt like he¡¯d just done a workout and broken into a sweat.


    Although he didn¡¯t know the reason for this, Chen Mobai stopped his splitting Divine Sense and continued to observe the seedling that had grown from the fruit of the original Green Paulownia Seedling.


    Half a month later.


    Chen Mobai sat in his wooden house, facing an imageless puppet.


    Looking at oneself was a completely new experience.


    He had mastered the second layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Divide Mind into Thoughts¡±.


    Although he didn¡¯t know the reason, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t probe further since the outcome was positive and there was no period of weakness.


    He speculated that the blossoms and fruits of the Blue Jade Paulownia were originally Spirit Medicines used to augment Divine Sense. For instance, Fire Clearing Pill was mainly refined from this ingredient.


    Therefore, his inadvertent division of Mind into Thoughts with the fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling had instead led to a trick to cultivate the Divine Manipulation Technique.


    Next, he just needed to nurture the new seedling that just sprouted again, and when its flowers bore fruit, he could cultivate the third layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Merge Divinity into One¡±.


    Since he was originally at the Foundation Establishment level, and his main Divine Sense was not weakened, he only needed to devote energy to enhance the Divine Sense of the new seedling, and estimated that this could be completed within two to three years at most.


    If he took the help of some pills, he might even be able to halve the time.


    Just as he prepared to try practicing the tactic of attacking with his imageless puppet and his own body, a message token flew to his door.


    His apprentice Zhuo Ming was knocking on his door.


    Since he had said before the retreat that he was going to practice spells, Zhuo Ming wouldn¡¯t disturb him unless there was something important.


    So Chen Mobai immediately stopped practicing, took back the Divine Sense attached to the imageless puppet, stood up, and opened the formation.


    ¡°I apologize for the disturbance, Master.¡±


    ¡°No harm done, is there something you need?¡±


    ¡°Senior brother Yuan¡­ No, Uncle Master Yuan Chiye has successfully Foundation Establishment, Uncle Master E Yun sent a message and invited you to celebrate together.¡±


    That was good news. As a member of the same faction, Chen Mobai should indeed go.


    ¡°Alright, go to Small Yang Ridge and dig up the Spiritual Wine I buried last year, and come with me.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Master.¡±


    That night.


    Chen Mobai came to Divine Wood City with his disciple.


    They were still in E Yun¡¯s courtyard.


    Under the big tree at the center of the yard, the three of them sat around a small square table, drinking and making merry.


    ¡°My successful Foundation Establishment is due to Senior Brother E¡¯s Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, unfortunately¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai arrived late, and only after hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s explanation did he understand the reason.


    It turns out that when he was trying to solidify his Foundation Establishment into Condensing Qi into Liquid, even after being fully prepared, he could only concentrate six drops of Liquid Spiritual Power before losing strength.


    Just when he was about to fail, the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf that E Yun had given him suddenly flew up and merged into his Dantian. It released a large amount of pure Wooden Spiritual Energy, helping him complete Condensing Qi into Liquid, and then rushed into the Purple Palace, protecting Yuan Chiye¡¯s Divine Sense from wandering, completing the transition of spirit, energy, and vitality, and advancing to Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Since this ¡®Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡¯ shines in your hands, it shows that it is fate for you. There¡¯s no need to feel guilty. It¡¯s alright if you use it.¡±


    Although there was a bitter smile on E Yun¡¯s face, he still generously gave Yuan Chiye his opportunity from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    There was no other choice. After Foundation Establishment, this ¡°Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡± seemed to be a Legal Treasure of his life, integrating with Yuan Chiye¡¯s spirit, energy, and spirit.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If E Yun forcibly takes back this Spiritual Object, it would destroy Yuan Chiye¡¯s Dao foundations.


    Even if he was reluctant, he knew how to weigh the importance of the issue.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother. I¡¯m willing to do my utmost.¡±


    For Yuan Chiye, the kindness E Yun showed him was truly great.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, he would not have been able to succeed in this Foundation Establishment. Although he was old enough to fight for the next batch of Foundation Building Pills refined from Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, he would definitely not be able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm..

    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°This Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf is actually so miraculous? If paired with a Foundation Building Pill, wouldn¡¯t that guarantee a successful Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought in a different direction, bringing up a key point unnoticed by E Yun and Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°I will write a report on this matter to the Sect Leader. It might even be placed in the Book Pavilion for future generations to reference,¡± E Yun said. Since everyone¡¯s chances in the Divine Tree Secret Realm vary greatly, and he seemed to be the only one who had obtained a Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, the feasibility of his idea still required more samples for validation.


    On the side, Zhuo Ming, who was serving wine, had his eyes gleaming, absorbing everything about this Spiritual Object.


    Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf!


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that Junior Brother Niu failed to establish his foundation,¡± they talked about another True Disciple from their faction, Niu Longyuan from the Spirit Beasts Department. Despite his preparations, he was unlucky and failed to pass this threshold.


    ¡°By the way, Chen junior brother, little sister Ding came to me a few days ago. She said there was a misunderstanding with you before and wanted me to clarify it.¡±


    This Little Sister Ding was, of course, Ding Ying.


    After the sect competition, she immediately secluded herself and took the Foundation Building Pill. Regrettably, due to inadequate groundwork and lack of opportunities, she failed.


    ¡°I have long forgotten about it,¡± Chen Mobai casually shrugged off the incident that had happened earlier. With his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Realm, those little troubles had faded away.


    Moreover, there wasn¡¯t really any deep grievances between him and Ding Ying.


    In fact, it was him who had initially approached her. At that time, he was a low-ranker and it was normal for someone like her to underestimate him.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Sister Ding heard that you¡¯re looking for materials to make Talisman Brushes. Fortunately, she had collected some wolf hairs earlier, and there were some leftovers after she made her brushes. She asked me to give them to you.¡±


    E Yun handed over a box of wolf hairs, the quality of which was even better than the Mysterious Spirit Rabbit Fur Chen Mobai had.


    Ding Ying had been the chief of the talisman-making department for many years, so whatever she saved must be of top quality.


    ¡°There¡¯s no real grudge between me and Sister Ding. As long as we clarify things, it¡¯s good. I can¡¯t take this,¡± Chen Mobai, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, thought to display a broader perspective and he pushed back the box of wolf hairs.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it would be better if you just accepted it. Sister Ding would feel more at ease then. She¡¯s talented, and she¡¯ll likely succeed in establishing her foundation if she gets another Foundation Building Pill next time. I can¡¯t bear to see her living in fear every day.¡±


    E Yun softly broke the ice, pointing out the issue.


    Chen Mobai understood his point and laughed bitterly, shaking his head. If he didn¡¯t accept this box of wolf hairs, Ding Ying would be stuck thinking he still held a grudge against her for mocking him in the past. As a True Disciple, the thought of having a grudge with a promising Foundation Establishment elder would definitely terrify her, making her extremely anxious.


    If she had a weak mentality, her cultivation might be ruined forever.


    ¡°Well, since Brother E Yun put it that way, I¡¯ll accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai took E Yun¡¯s advice and accepted the wolf hairs, regarding it as settling another karma.


    Next, the three of them discussed the results of the True Disciple group who attempted the Foundation Establishment with the pills.


    Apart from Yuan Chiye, five others had succeeded in establishing their foundation, but three of them were taking the Foundation Building Pill for the second time. In other words, four people would enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    When Chen Mobai calculated the success rate excluding his and Yuan Chiye¡¯s exceptions and the three others, Hong He, Zhou Wangshen and E Yun, who had already successfully established their foundation, there were only eight successful True Disciples.


    This amounted to a success rate of just over 30% for the Foundation Establishment. It just proved the worth of the Foundation Building Pills as top-tier spiritual medicine. It was a pity the main ingredient was not abundant enough on the immortal side for pill production.


    ¡°These are records in the Book Pavilion about the Divine Tree Secret Realm. However, many senior brothers and sisters didn¡¯t want to disclose the opportunities they got, so the records are only about well-known Spiritual Objects,¡± E Yun handed two prepared scrolls to Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye when they were about to leave.


    After thanking him, they each returned to their residences in Divine Wood City.


    Chen Mobai, with Zhuo Ming, arrived at the property he had received when he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Despite its location in a populated area, it still contained Rank-1 high-grade spiritual energy. It was a testament to the rich Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge.


    He sat in his courtyard on a reclining chair and pulled out the record of the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    The book was thicker than he expected, and contained not only the records from the Divine Wood Sect but also those from the time before the split ¡ª the Five Elements Sect¡¯s cultivators¡¯ experiences when they entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

    Having read it through, Chen Mobai found many desirable goodies such as the Azure Wood Spirit Heart which could expand the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the defensive spirit leaf capable of blocking a Rank-3 spell attack once, and tree sap which was exceptionally beneficial for Body Forging Techniques, etc.


    The most famous among these was a branch obtained by Mo, the True Man of Golden Cliff, in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. He refined it into his lifebound Flying Sword and became the foremost Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Next was the top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect twenty years ago, who had eaten a ¡°Long-Life Tree Fruit¡±. After consuming it, he directly progressed from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the mid-stage, saving several decades of effort.


    Chen Mobai coveted the ¡°Long Life Tree Fruit¡± the most.


    As a disciple of the Realm Suppression Doctrine, he wondered if the ¡°Long Life Tree Fruit¡± had any side effects when used for advancing realms, because such effects were simply heaven-defying..

    Moreover, since it¡¯s possible to go from the early Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, then can one also advance from the middle stage to the late stage?!


    Or even that, proceed in one step, to the perfection of Foundation Establishment?


    The more he thought, the more he wanted it.


    Compared to this ¡°Everlife Tree Fruit¡±, all other magic artifacts seem meaningless.


    The next day.


    He visited E Yun again, inquiring about details of this ¡°Everlife Tree Fruit¡±.


    ¡°You are talking about this. I guess if you have seen the current circumstance of Brother Yue, you would not want it. Coincidentally, he is also in Divine Wood City. Let¡¯s go visit him.¡±


    E Yun didn¡¯t waste any words and took Chen Mobai directly to the courtyard next door.


    A youthful-looking youth with white hair was leisurely drinking tea on a bamboo chair. In his yard, Chen Mobai saw a variety of talisman papers, talisman ink, and some broken magic artifacts, and even a pill furnace.


    ¡°Oh, why do I have the honor of Junior Brother¡¯s visit today?¡±


    This young man, leaving aside his youthful appearance and behavior, Chen Mobai could still sense an aging aura from him.


    ¡°This is the current chief disciple of our sect, I brought him to visit you.¡±


    E Yun introduced Chen Mobai, then Yue Zutao got two chairs from inside his house, indicating them to sit.


    ¡°I know him, he¡¯s about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, isn¡¯t he? So you brought him here to see the consequence.¡±


    Brother Yue mocked himself a bit. His name was Yue Zutao. Although he was not even sixty years old in reality, his body was already a hundred years old in terms of biological age.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked when he palpated Yue Zutao¡¯s bone age at his signal.


    ¡°The Everlife Tree Fruit, its effects are amazing, but in truth, it converts your lifespan into realm and power.¡±


    ¡°Before I took it I didn¡¯t know, I thought I had received an extraordinary opportunity. But these past twenty years, I found that not only was I unable to break through the realm, but my lifespan has been reduced by a good forty years.¡±


    ¡°To warn the junior brothers and sisters who come after, every time a new junior brother or sister is about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I let them feel my bone age, advising them not to use the Everlife Tree Fruit unless absolutely necessary.¡±


    After Yue Zutao had spoken, Chen Mobai finally understood.


    This tree fruit, in addition to consuming one¡¯s lifespan, also stagnates the user¡¯s realm advancement.


    In the past twenty years, Yue Zutao had tried every means, taken countless pills, but except for a slight increase in spiritual power, he could never break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. It was as if he was stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°This matter had even alarmed Elder Zhou, and he took me to Back to Sky Valley for medical consultation. Master Yan said that after I had consumed the fruit which took forty years of my lifespan, it was equivalent to overnight gaining forty years of cultivation, breaking through the realm.¡±


    ¡°After that, in addition to paying forty years of lifespan, I also need to stay in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment for forty years. Only then could the bottleneck to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment be broken.¡±


    ¡°No matter what pill I take to increase my cultivation level, within the forty years after consuming the fruit, I could only at most advance to the peak of Foundation Establishment stage unless I consume a Spiritual Object of a higher grade than the Everlife Tree Fruit to break the fruit¡¯s effects.¡±

    Upon uttering this, Yue Zutao looked helpless. Divine wood was a Rank-4 spirit tree; thus, its fruit was naturally also Rank-4. It already stood at the top tier of spiritual objects in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Not to mention whether there was a Rank-5 spiritual object that could counteract the fruit¡¯s side effects, even if there was, let alone Yue Zutao, even the Divine Wood Sect might not have the resources to acquire it.


    That¡¯s why he stopped cultivating these years and was engrossed in Spirit Planting, Talisman Preparation, Pill Refining, Artifact Refining, etc.


    He achieved some success and is now the Spirit Plant Master with the highest success rate in refining Rank-2 tree seeds within the sect.


    As the three were chatting, a new visitor arrived..

    ¡°Brother E is here too, what a coincidence.¡±


    One of the men who entered the door exchanged greetings with Yue Zutao and then waved to E Yun.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.¡±


    Although he had never met him, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this grizzly bear-like young man with a hawkish nose and a tiger-like build was.


    ¡°Brother Chen, we are meeting for the first time, but I have heard much about you.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen finally greeted Chen Mobai with a smile. Pretending not to recognize him, Chen Mobai looked surprised after E Yun¡¯s introduction and got up to respond. &


    ¡°This is Wu Zeyang, who was not part of the twelve divisions, but was lucky enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment this year.¡±


    The young man who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three people present one by one.


    ¡°Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother¡­ Chen.¡±


    Finally, when facing Chen Mobai, he hesitated. After all, he was a True Disciple of the same generation as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. But thinking about the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the achiever leads, he finally called him Brother.


    ¡°You two are too kind, please sit down.¡±


    As the host, Yue Zutao prepared two more chairs, and the five of them sat in his¡­

    Brother E Yun, it¡¯s such a coincidence that you¡¯re here too.¡±


    One of the people who entered the gate greeted Yue Zutao, then greeted E Yun.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.¡±


    Although they haven¡¯t met before, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this young man with a high nose and a sturdy body was.


    ¡°Brother Chen, although this is our first meeting, I have long heard of your name.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen then laughingly greeted Chen Mobai, who pretended not to recognize him. Only after E Yun¡¯s introduction did he express surprise and greeted him back.


    ¡°This is Wu Zeyang, he is not a part of the twelve parts, but he successfully established his foundation this year.¡±


    The youth who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three present one by one.


    ¡°Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother¡­ Chen.¡±


    When it came to Chen Mobai, he hesitated a bit. After all, he was a true disciple from the same batch as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. Nonetheless, given the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the superior rank prevails, he decided to address him as a brother in the end.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind. Please have a seat.¡±


    The host of the gathering, Yue Zutao, brought over two more chairs. The five of them sat in his cluttered yard, starting their friendly chat.


    The reason Zhou Wangshen brought Wu Zeyang here was the same. They hoped that Yue Zutao, being an experienced hand, could dissuade young disciples who wanted to choose the Longevity Technique fruit.


    ¡°Brother Chen, if you can acquire the Longevity Tree sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I¡¯d be willing to exchange a thousand Spirit Stones for each drop.¡±


    As they left, Chen Mobai was still perplexed about why Zhou Wangshen had made this offer. E Yun, however, looked surprised and murmured to himself.


    ¡°It seems he has begun cultivating the ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯!¡±


    What is the Taoist Body of Longevity?¡±


    E Yun brought Chen Mobai to his court, where Yuan Chiye was already waiting. After the three sat down, he began to explain the concept of the ¡°Taoist Body of Longevity¡±.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s scripture of Immortality was actually evolved from an ancient spell, called the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯, that even a True Monarch had to cultivate diligently for centuries to master.¡±


    ¡°Once this Technique of Long Life is mastered, not only you can maintain your youth forever, but you also can extend your lifespan by one-third at your current realm. The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan added.¡±


    ¡°The most astonishing aspect of the Technique of Long Life is that once it is mastered, even if your head is chopped off or your heart is shattered, you will not die as long as there is a breath of elemental energy left within you. It is said that if this technique is mastered at its highest realm, one can regenerate from a drop of blood and become immortal.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye were both taken aback as they did not know this secret before.


    ¡°But what does this have to do with the Taoist Body of Longevity?¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun took a sip of his tea and sighed lightly.


    ¡°We, the successors, do not have the astonishing talent of the True Monarch so we are unable to practice the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯. Therefore, some wise predecessors split it into the ¡®Scripture of Immortality¡¯ and the ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The former is for Qi Cultivation, the latter for Body Forging. Once these two are practiced to the highest realm simultaneously, one can attempt to merge them and recreate the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯.¡±


    ¡°However, this is just a speculation. After all, no one in our Divine Wood Sect even practiced the ¡®Scripture of Immortality¡¯ to its highest realm, let alone the more difficult ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that the Scripture of Immortality has twenty realms. The highest achiever of the Divine Wood Sect, Old Ancestor Zhou, only reached the seventeenth realm.


    ¡°Does the Taoist Body of Longevity also have twenty realms?¡±


    E Yun shook his head and held up three fingers.


    ¡°The Taoist Body of Longevity is divided into three realms: Ageless, Immortal Eternal, corresponding to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul respectively.¡±


    This was a simple and clear explanation, but Chen Mobai suspected that those who divided the Technique of Longevity probably had a deeper understanding of Qi Cultivation, but a relatively weak understanding of body forging, so they hastily divided it this way.


    ¡°The sap of the Longevity Tree is the best spiritual object to assist in the cultivation of the Taoist Body of Longevity. Wu Zeyang succeeded in building his foundation this time, Zhou Wangshen probably offered his support so that he could enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and help him get the Longevity Tree sap.¡±                               y


    After hearing E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai now fully understood.


    However, he shook his head. Although he was very fond of Spirit Stones, opportunities like the Divine Tree Secret Realm weren¡¯t to be squandered for others.


    ¡°In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone can get a spiritual object under the Magic Treasure Tree. The Talent Tree and the Dao Tree depend on your own luck. Although all those who enter are sect disciples, if you meet each other, you should look after each other.¡±


    In conclusion, E Yun shared his own experiences. Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye nodded, promising that if they encountered each other inside, they would stick together.


    Time flew by quickly.


    The opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm approached in an instant.


    On that day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to E Yun and Zhuo Ming, and he and Yuan Chiye arrived at the Shenmu Hall to wait.


    Wu Zeyang had also arrived early.


    Another newbie who had just completed his Foundation Establishment was a true disciple in the alchemy division of the previous batch named Yan Jinye, who seemed a bit carefree sister.

    It appeared that she and Wu Zeyang were on good terms. After arriving at the


    Shenmu Hall, they started talking together.


    ¡°Presumably, Brother Zhou has also asked her.¡±


    Yuan Chiye guessed, given that as an alchemist, Yan Jinye was even more likely to obtain the Longevity Tree sap.

    Chapter 246: Chapter 235: Magic Treasure Tree 2


    Translator: 549690339 ,    ¡ª


    After a while, the sect leader, Meng Hong, came with Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department. Without wasting any time, he led the way towards the back of the Shenmu Hall, towards the three divine trees that soared into the sky.


    Chen Mobai and the others followed immediately.


    Like six rays of green light, the group rose from the ground and quickly arrived at the very center of Giant Tree Ridge, right at the three Everlife Trees, after flying over Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong led them to one of the divine trees that would take ten men to wrap their arms around. He landed gently in front of it.


    Chen Mobai and the rest stopped as well, landing at the same time.


    ¡°After the Divine Tree Secret Realm is opened, you will see three Heaven-reaching Divine Trees. Each tree offers different opportunities. What you can gain depends on yourselves,¡± Meng Hong said and handed a wooden sword to Lu Yi next to him.


    The latter bowed, received it with both hands, looking very serious.


    ¡°Next, I will open the portal to the secret realm. Enter as soon as possible and don¡¯t waste time. Once it ends, you will appear here. The two of us old men won¡¯t wait for you. At that time, come find me at Shenmu Hall,¡± Lu Yi said. After finishing talking, he sat on the ground, held the wooden sword to his chest, muttered a spell, and initiated a ban-breaking technique.


    A pitch-black light burst from the wooden sword and landed in the empty space between the three divine trees.


    Zila! Zila!


    Like the sound of a tearing cloth, a vertical crack about two meters long appeared in the void.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    By this time, Lu Yi had already filled the wooden sword in his hand with spiritual power. He seemed to be struggling, sweat broke out on his forehead. He flung the sword in his palm, and it went straight into the void.


    Then the wooden sword jammed into the crack. With a twist and a turn, a door just large enough for a person to pass through opened in the crack.


    ¡°Quickly, the door won¡¯t be open for long.¡±


    Meng Hong urged immediately. With no hesitation, Yuan Chiye and the others turned into green light and shot towards the void. They almost collided in mid-air.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before following Yan Jinye into the portal. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Once all four had entered, Lu Yi immediately withdrew the wooden sword and sat on the ground, gasping for air.


    ¡°Opening the door once exhausts my spiritual power. Luckily, it only opens once every few years. Otherwise, whoever likes to be the Minister of the Transmission Department can have it.¡±


    Lu Yi grumpily threw the wooden sword to Meng Hong. The key to the secret realm was kept by the sect leader, but the task of opening the door was assigned to the Transmission Department.


    Let¡¯s go, I caught a black mud loach. You¡¯ve worked hard today, let¡¯s treat you well.¡±


    After Meng Hong took back the wooden sword, he smiled, pulled Lu Yi, the two old men left the three divine trees laughing and talking.


    ¡°I wonder what opportunities they can find inside.¡±


    The other three getting a magic treasure or spiritual object would be just about right. But that Chen Guixian, maybe he could get an extra cultivation technique.¡±


    With so many openings of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone in the Divine Wood Sect had a clear understanding of the three Divine Tree¡¯s patterns.


    The Magic Treasure Tree is the baseline, the Talent Tree is up to one¡¯s aptitude.


    The Dao Tree is mysterious and difficult. As there were too few who had gained anything under this tree, or most kept their gains secret, no pattern had been discovered yet.


    After Chen Mobai crossed the portal, he only felt a moment of darkness before a sky full of green light engulfed him.


    As he opened his eyes, he found himself suspended in mid-air, hurtling straight towards the ground.


    With a swift invocation of spiritual power to perform the flying technique, he stopped his fall.


    Then he floated in the air, scanning in all directions.


    To his surprise, it was another endless forest.


    Lofty trees flourished in the mist, a sea of green as far as the eye could see. Chen Mobai landed on the ground, took a soft step, and found the soil here covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.


    He landed in front of a large tree, and found it to be a Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    Could he still be in Giant Tree Ridge?


    With this doubt in mind, Chen Mobai flew to the highest tree nearby. From its crown, he finally saw what was different.


    In the far distance, there were three divine trees reaching into the sky. Compared to the three divine trees grouped together in the center in Giant Tree Ridge, each tree here stood alone, far in the distance.


    Chen Mobai estimated the distance and found the divine tree to the east seemed closer. So he flew towards it first.


    As he was flying, he suddenly remembered something.


    How does one leave the Divine Tree Secret Realm?


    Would it be the same as with E Yun? You faint and when you wake up, you find yourself in the Giant Tree Ridge?


    The Divine Tree seemed not too far from him, but Chen Mobai had been flying for three full days and nights before he could finally see the true face of the Divine Tree.


    The bark was a dark grey, the tree¡¯s aura was imposing, and the trunk reached straight into the clouds. Looking up at it, you couldn¡¯t see the top, as if it truly reached into the heavenly palace.


    Chen Brother, what a coincidence.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai landed, Yan Jinye also flew over. She greeted him, then circled the Divine Tree, eyeing a crack in the bark. She took out a medicine hoe and started digging in.


    ¡°Junior Sister, are you trying to collect the tree juice?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    Yes, it seems Brother Zhou has already talked to Brother Chen.¡±


    Yan Jinye was working as she replied, but immediately shook her head and gave up.


    Her medicine hoe could not break the spiritual light of the Divine Tree¡¯s body. Not to mention extracting tree juice, she couldn¡¯t even scrape off a piece of the bark.


    ¡°It seems this trade won¡¯t work out. Brother Chen, I¡¯ll go up first.¡±


    After saying that, Yan Jinye waved at Chen Mobai, then reached out her right hand to touch the Divine Tree and started injecting her spiritual power.


    A flash of silvery light glistened, and she suddenly disappeared.


    Chen Mobai rushed over to where she had disappeared, feeling that it was similar to the trace of a teleportation array.


    After circling the Divine Tree twice and finding no other way, he also reached out his right hand, touched the bark and injected spiritual power as described in the book.


    A familiar sensation came over him. When he opened his eyes again, he felt the howling wind and the sudden thinness of the air around him.


    Looking down, he found himself standing on a branch, seemingly at the crown of the Divine Tree.


    At the tip of the branch he was standing on, there was a green fruit the size of a fist.


    Chen Mobai looked around again and found that not only his own branch, but most of the branches at the top had a fruit of a different color.


    Based on his past experience, the opportunity he was looking for was in this fruit.


    He had a closer look and sure enough, he saw Yan Jinye who had come up before him. She was already in front of her yellow fruit, joyfully picking it.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll go down first.¡±


    After getting her reward, Yan Jinye said to Chen Mobai from afar, then once again put her hand on the branch and injected her spiritual power.


    With a sparkle of silver light, she vanished from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Chen Mobai tried his flying technique, but found himself unable to leave the branch beneath him. It seemed that there was a force forbidding flight here.


    Which meant, he could only take his own fruit.


    However, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t willing to give up. He took out a glass bead used for practicing spiritual power from his storage bag, hoping to control it to pick the fruit from the neighboring branches.


    But as soon as the glass bead left his palm, it and the spiritual power injected into it lost contact with him and fell from the high altitude.


    Chen Mobai finally gave up.


    He shook his head, picked his own green fruit, then imitated Yan Jinye to leave the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the same spot, his hand


    still touching the bark of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Chen Mobai tried injecting spiritual power again, but unfortunately it seemed his spiritual power had already left a record in the Magic Treasure Tree and didn¡¯t teleport him back to the top of the tree.


    Sighing, Chen Mobai was about to leave when a thought struck him.


    Aside from his Longevity Spiritual Power, he also had Pure Yang Spiritual


    Power in his Dantian Qi Sea.


    He immediately turned back and tried again.

    With a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai was back at the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    He looked at the purple fruit in front of him and fell into deep thought.


    Most of the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect practiced the Two-element


    Technique, possessing two kinds of spiritual power.


    He s probably not the first one to discover this bug, right?

 Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Chapter 236 – Jadewood Spirit Heart, Qingyang Fire Seedl

    Chapter 247: Chapter 236 ¨C Jadewood Spirit Heart, Qingyang Fire Seedl


    Translator: 549690339


    However, upon further consideration, Chen Mobai felt that he might actually be the first.


    Because the other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, cultivating the dual-phase technique, have already linked the two cultivation techniques together. The two distinct spiritual powers, after transformation, have each acquired their specific characteristics.


    Unlike them, he utilized a borderline method to segregate the Longevity Spiritual Power and Pure Yang Spiritual Power. In reality, it was two different spiritual powers cultivated from distinct cultivation techniques.


    After realizing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t harbor any more doubts.


    After plucking this purple fruit in front of him, he once again left the crown of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Had it not been for the limited time in entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would¡¯ve genuinely wanted to try cultivating other distinct spiritual powers to see if he could ascend again to get another fruit.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s go check out the other two Divine Trees. If there¡¯s extra time at the end, come back here to experiment.¡±


    After making up his mind, Chen Mobai then observed the other two Divine Trees.


    Having confirmed that his tree was a Magic Treasure Tree, based on the records left by the previous generations of his sect, he had already discerned the remaining two Divine Trees.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai first flew towards the Talent Tree.


    The examination of the Dao Tree is far beyond something an average person could pass, generally those going there directly faint, and when they wake up, they find themselves already in Giant Tree Ridge.


    The Talent Tree and the Magic Treasure Tree are almost identical, reaching straight into the sky, the top invisible to the eye.


    However, the way to obtain destiny was slightly different than the Magic


    Treasure Tree.


    Other than injecting his spiritual power into it, Chen Mobai also dropped a drop of blood, and finally let his own Divine Sense stroll around within the


    Talent Tree.


    After injecting his essence, energy, and spirit into it, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged under the tree, waiting quietly.


    About after an incense stick¡¯s worth of time, a green light descended from the sky, falling into his Sea of Knowledge located at his brow, this was the Talent Tree¡¯s evaluation of him, as well as the destiny it bestowed upon him.


    [Practicing Wood Spirit Power, faint traces of Danless Poison in the spirit power, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.]


    [Four types of mixed spiritual roots, Innate Yuan Qi more abundant than ordinary people, Fire Spirit Root being the best, suggested to switch to cultivating fire attribute cultivation technique, overall evaluation


    ¡®Lower-grade¡¯.]


    [Divine Sense surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment stage, Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion stable, and not because stimulated growth of Divine Sense through violent means, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.]


    [Overall assessment, middle high-grade talent, awarded a secret technique.] After interpreting the message in his mind, a secret technique to open the Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge abruptly surfaced in his thoughts. It came without a name, like it was severed from an enormous classic text and directly imprinted in his mind to comprehend.


    ¡°To cultivate this secret technique, you need a Jade Wood Spirit Core¡­¡± After going through this secret technique in his mind, Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows.


    He opened his storage bag, and cracked open the emerald fruit that he had plucked from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Indeed, inside was a walnut-sized jade-green gem. According to the literature he had studied before entering, this was what a ¡°Jade Wood Spirit Core¡± looked like.


    ¡°I wonder if that senior sister who obtained the spiritual object thirty years ago got this secret technique.¡±


    Amidst his mumbling, Chen Mobai stored the Jade Wood Spirit Core in a jade vial, then took out the purple fruit.


    However, while opening it, he was caught off-guard and his right hand¡¯s skin got burnt.


    A strand of purple flames was seen burning in mid-air, giving off an astonishing heat.


    You should know that Chen Mobai has already established his foundation, his flesh body having undergone metamorphosis, ordinary flames simply cannot burn the spiritual light of his body.


    That this purple flame could cause him harm, meant that it was already at the minimum, over a thousand degrees.


    ¡°Could this be¡­¡±


    Upon seeing the purple flames, Chen Mobai already had a guess growing in his heart. Then he pressed his burnt hand against the Talent Tree, repeating the steps he had just taken.


    However, this time the injected spiritual power was changed to Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    The previously used Longevity Spiritual Power had traces of poison due to ingesting the Foundation Building Pill. As there wasn¡¯t enough time, the poison had not yet been eliminated. However, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was different.


    It had been earnestly cultivated without ever ingesting a pill to increase its strength.


    As predicted, the first evaluation regarding spiritual power instantly skyrocketed this time.


    [Practices Fire Spiritual Power, extremely pure with no Danless Poison, a deep foundation, evaluation ¡®Immortal-grade¡¯.]


    [Four types of mixed spiritual roots, Innate Yuan Qi more abundant than ordinary people, Fire Spirit Root being the best, matching with the cultivating technique, overall evaluation ¡®intermediate grade¡¯.] [Divine Sense surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment stage, Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion stable, and not stimulated growth of Divine Sense through violent means, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.] [Overall assessment, high-grade talent, awarded a set of secret techniques.] Another green light descended again, infusing into Chen Mobai¡¯s brow, the Sea of Knowledge. This time, however, the information he received was slightly massive, and it took him a while to process everything.


    The secret technique he received this time finally had a name, known as ¡°Pure Qingyang Jue¡±, a spell that could continuously enhance the power and grade of the fire seeds.

    It was through this that Chen Mobai realized the purple fruit he obtained from the Magic Treasure Tree contained the seed of the Qingyang Fire.


    However, this seed has not yet matured. Only when the purple flame transforms into a green flame, will it truly become the near Rank-3 power ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    The ¡°Pure Qingyang Jue¡± is a set of secret techniques that could promote the purple fire seed to a complete ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    ¡°This Talent Tree is quite intelligent.¡±


    Chen Mobai, after reading the two secret techniques, murmured to himself..

 Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Chapter 236: Jade Wood Spirit Heart,

    Chapter 248: Chapter 236: Jade Wood Spirit Heart,


    Qingyang Fire Seed_2


    Translator: 549690339


    From the Talent Tree, he withdrew his burnt hand, then employed the Extinguishing method from the Pure Qing Charm to seal the Qingyang Fire Seeds anew, storing them in his bag.


    Just as he was about to stand up and leave, Chen Mobai hesitated a bit.


    Checking the time, he felt that he could make it to the Dao Tree on time, so he sat back down again.


    From beneath the layers of his storage bag, he pulled out a Wood Spirit Talisman that he had shelved, assuming he would never use it in his lifetime.


    Wood Spirit Talisman!


    Once activated, Chen Mobai could transform into a Heavenly Spiritual Root within an hour.


    Just as he was about to try again, he suddenly furrowed his brow and looked towards the eastern sky.


    He could sense a spiritual light approaching, causing fluctuations in the surrounding elemental energies.


    Not wanting to risk exposure by continuing with the Wood Spirit Talisman, Chen Mobai put away the talisman and waited for about a quarter of an hour until a familiar spiritual light descended from the sky.


    ¡°Eh, Brother Chen is even faster than me.¡±


    The person who arrived was none other than Yan Jinye. Although she left the Magic Treasure Tree earlier than Chen Mobai, her spiritual power was not as profound as his and she was delayed along the way, so she arrived later.


    ¡°Junior sister, have you encountered the other two?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood there with a relaxed smile.


    Since only the four of them were in this Secret Realm, each with their own fortune, there was no need for them to compete with each other, so everyone was quite generous.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t run into them on the road, they should have gone to the Dao Tree first.¡±


    Yan Jinye gave an honest answer. She noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s burned right hand and couldn¡¯t help but show a surprised expression on her face.


    ¡°I obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed from the Magic Treasure Tree. I got like this because I was careless when opening it.¡±


    The Qingyang Fire Seed could be combined with the Red Flame Sword Jue to greatly enhance its power. It would certainly not be possible to hide it in the future, and every single flame seed born from the spontaneous combustion of the Qingyang Spirit Tree in the Giant Tree Ridge is recorded, which Chen Mobai could not afford to buy.


    He decided to simply inform the sect that he had obtained a strand of Qingyang Fire Seed in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Brother is truly fortunate.¡±


    Hearing this, Yan Jinye looked at him with a face full of envy. This Qingyang Fire Seed was worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°May I ask what fortune the junior sister has come across?¡±


    Chen Mobai ventured to ask a question, but Yan Jinye only smiled faintly without answering. The former didn¡¯t continue to press the matter and tactfully bid her farewell and left.


    Only after she confirmed that this Sword Cultivation Genius, who along with Hong He was known as the Twin Pearls of the sect, had left, did Yan Jinye let out a sigh of relief.


    She had come across a rather tricky spiritual object.


    It was because she had opened the fruit halfway and was shocked by what she saw inside that she had been delayed on the road for quite some time.


    ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know if this is a blessing or curse.¡±


    After sighing, Yan Jinye reached out to touch the Talent Tree.


    After a long while, she stood up and flew towards the location of the Dao Tree.


    Initially, Chen Mobai had planned to return to the Talent Tree after half a day, use the Wood Spirit Talisman to transform himself into a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and then try to exploit another bug to gain two secret techniques.


    However, he later thought that the secret techniques given by the Talent Tree seemed to complement the fruits gained from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Since he had gained corresponding secret techniques for both Bi Mu Ling Heart and Qingyang Fire Seed, it would be a waste to use the Wood Spirit Talisman without having any corresponding spiritual objects, even if his spiritual root underwent a qualitative change and he gained more secret techniques through another attempt.


    Moreover, should he be noticed by Yan Jinye when he hastily returned, wouldn¡¯t she suspect that he was up to something?


    After weighing the options, Chen Mobai decided to head towards the Dao Tree first.


    As long as he didn¡¯t demand too much from the Dao Tree and didn¡¯t pass out, he should have time to make another trip to the Talent Tree and try again.


    Having settled his thoughts, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and flew towards the last Divine Tree at maximum speed.


    When Yan Jinye landed, there was no one by the Dao Tree.


    She hesitated a moment before heading towards this last and most mysterious Divine Tree.


    One step, two steps, three steps¡­


    Her consciousness began to feel an inexplicable pressure, as if she had been laden with a thousand pounds. Her consciousness grew fuzzy, her eyelids drooping slightly as an overwhelming fatigue surged in her heart.


    Finally, as she took the fifth step towards the Dao Tree, she lost all consciousness and collapsed on the spot.


    Afterward, a flicker of silver light appeared, and she completely disappeared from the spot.


    Probably around two days later, Yuan Chiye and Wu Zeyang also descended.


    They glanced at the Dao tree, nodded simultaneously, and headed towards the immense trunk.


    Yuan Chiye also fell unconscious on his fifth step, Wu Zeyang stepped onto the sixth step, but he only lasted one step longer before collapsing.


    Witnessing the disappearance of all three people, a puppet jumped down from a nearby tree.


    It was the Faceless Puppet controlled by Chen Mobai.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm were always cautious. If Chen Mobai himself was peeping nearby, they could possibly reveal him.


    However, a puppet with no life heartbeat, especially a Faceless Puppet made using techniques from the immortal realm, went completely undetected by the three when Chen Mobai put his Divine Sense into it.


    ¡°Probably need to take thirteen steps to reach the Dao tree¡¯s body.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s real body flew over, estimating the range of the Dao Tree¡¯s unconscious-inducing field.


    According to E Yun, he had taken seven steps, and Zhou Wangshen had taken seven and a half. And before the two of them fainted, they saw that Hong He had taken the ninth step.


    It¡¯s just not known what the judging standard of this Dao Tree is, to what extent one has to reach, in order to gain related opportunities.


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile, first checking the spiritual energy value in the area.


    Upon discovering it was not very high, only a Rank-2 Spirit Vein.


    However, he guessed this might be because most of the Spirit Energy in the Secret Realm was suppressed by the three Divine Trees.


    ¡°I¡¯ll test it again with the Faceless Puppet.¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself. Earlier, he himself tried to approach it, but by the fourth step, he already felt like he couldn¡¯t endure anymore.


    Knowing that if he took one more step, he might faint. He directly had the Faceless Puppet, which was outside the Dao Tree¡¯s range, drag him out when his body was numb and unable to move.


    Then he found a place to recover, only to see Yan Jinye flying over.


    He used his remaining energy to control the Faceless Puppet to observe, wanting to see if they could obtain the Dao Tree¡¯s opportunities while he recovered.


    Unfortunately, the test of this Divine Tree was somewhat harsh, no one was favored by it.


    He used a portion of his divided mind to control the puppet to cross himself, and stepped into the Dao Tree¡¯s range.


    Instantly, a bizarre, inexplicable touch emerged on his divine sense. He barely managed to resist its collapse and lose control.


    ¡°Activate Spiritual Barrier.¡±


    However, this puppet was Che Yucheng¡¯s peak work, naturally had means to resist a Divine Sense Attack, Chen Mobai directly activated all these functional parts.


    An invisible layer suddenly appeared on the puppet¡¯s head, wrapping the divine sense where Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness was attached.


    In an instant, he felt an immense relief, as if a burden had been removed, leaving him feeling invigorated and refreshed.


    Delighted, Chen Mobai maneuvered the Faceless Puppet to take another step forward.


    The transparent spiritual barrier slightly distorted, but remained intact.


    Two steps, three steps¡­ all the way to the seventh step, the spiritual barrier started to show signs of strain and began to deform violently.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that if he took one more step, the spiritual barrier would shatter.


    However, in order to save the spiritual energy from high-quality Spirit Stones, he had been operating the Faceless Puppet at minimum efficiency. Now, for the opportunities from the Dao Tree, he didn¡¯t care about the consumption of Spirit Stones.


    He glanced at the spiritual energy progress bar at the top right corner of the screen, which displayed the number sixty-seven percent.


    That represented the amount of unused spiritual energy within the high-quality Spirit Stone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although the progress bar was not full, Chen Mobai knew that this corresponded to 67 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, which was a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°Full power consumption, activate the Spiritual Barrier!¡±


    After transmitting the command, Chen Mobai saw the previously 67% Spiritual Energy bar instantly decreased by 2%, dropping down to 65%.


    However, the effect was indeed amazing. The spiritual barrier that was about to shatter was restored to normal, and he managed to take another two steps forward.


    Then, the tenth step was taken!

 Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission_l

    Chapter 249: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    With a ¡°boom!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was shocked as he took his tenth step.


    It felt as if the Spiritual Barrier of the Formless Puppet had been battered by a ferocious storm, constantly distorting and transforming, as if it would shatter at any moment.


    However, under the steady supply of spiritual energy from the high-grade


    Spirit Stone, it managed to hold on.


    Chen Mobai wanted to push further, but he saw a yellow warning coming from the Formless Puppet.


    This meant that the restriction on the Spiritual Barrier had reached the warning range. Although it wasn¡¯t at the shattering red stage yet, it symbolized that it was close to the critical point.


    Chen Mobai waited for two seconds, but the Pathway Tree, which was right at his fingertips, remained unresponsive.


    Could it not respond even after ten steps?


    Standing on the periphery, Chen Mobai looked disappointed. However, he didn¡¯t plan on risking further damage to the Formless Puppet and started to manipulate the puppet to retreat.


    However, just as he took a step back, the Pathway Tree, which had been as silent as a mountain before, began to emit a faint green glow.


    Just as Chen Mobai was at a loss, a piece of green leaf fell and blended into the Formless Puppet.


    The divine sense within Chen Mobai, who was attached to the puppet, immediately came into contact with a vast and imposing heavy thought. It felt like his vision blackened, and he almost passed out.


    [Ten steps taken before the Pathway Tree. Result: High-grade. You have qualified for the status of True Disciple in the Immortal Dao Sect.] [True Disciples are bestowed with a higher realm of Grand Spells, please choose the Grand Spell you wish to comprehend.]


    Upon hearing this, only one thought crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    Why won¡¯t you tell me how to choose?


    Seemingly sensing his thoughts, another piece of information surfaced in his mind.


    [You may directly cast a Defensive Great Technique, or you may launch an


    Attack Great Technique at the main body of the Pathway Tree.]


    At this moment, Chen Mobai noticed that the yellow warning on the Formless Puppet¡¯s Spiritual Barrier screen had suddenly escalated to red. Knowing that he couldn¡¯t waste any more time, and that the puppet had no choice, he raised his right hand and formed it into a sword gesture.


    The red Sword Rainbow began to condense. A spark of flame burst out and then exploded completely, enveloping the sky with dazzling radiance before falling onto the body of the Pathway Tree right in front of him.


    It was only then that Chen Mobai noticed the numerous traces of sword slashes and even imprints of fists and claws on the bark of the Divine Tree close at hand.


    The newest one was a fingertip mark.


    With a ¡°hiss¡±!


    His Red Flame Sword Rainbow left a faintly charred mark on the Pathway Tree, like a rain of laser swords.


    It seemed a bit too weak.


    But he had no choice. This was already the strongest attack Chen Mobai could muster.


    If his main body were here, it wouldn¡¯t even match up to the capabilities of this Formless Puppet.


    Chen Mobai unleashed a slash. He felt the Spiritual Barrier shatter. As he prepared to retreat, feedback from the Pathway Tree was received. [Among the twenty-four Grand Spells of the Immortal Dao Sect, there is no such Sword Qi.]


    What did that mean?


    Did I take these ten steps for nothing?


    just when Chen Mobai was feeling a little frustrated and the Formless Puppet was about to retreat, another piece of information finally came from the


    Pathway Tree.


    [Bestowing upon you the realm of ¡®Sword Rainbow Fission¡¯!]


    Afterward, the green leaf that had integrated into Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet¡¯s Divine Sense suddenly radiated infinite brightness. It instantly burned into a Purple Fire Sword Talisman and blended into it.


    Linked through their divine senses, Chen Mobai¡¯s main body, who was watching the show from the outside, also let out a scream at the same time.


    He felt as if his Jade Plane Tree, which had formed from his Divine Sense, was being scorched by flames. This caused Chen Mobai, who was already unable to tolerate pain and had to be very careful with his Dividing Mind into Thoughts, to fall unconscious due to the intense burning sensation.


    [The Avenue of Immortal Dao has ended. Disciple, return.]


    Before losing consciousness, Chen Mobai heard the final message from the Pathway Tree.


    Silver-white radiance began to flicker around him, the power of space fluctuated, ready to transport him back to the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Beep Beep Beep¡±!


    At this moment, the Turtle Treasure, which had been silent after being integrated into the phone, suddenly started sending pop-up notifications. The piercing sound was even audible to the unconscious Chen Mobai.


    In his dazed consciousness, Chen Mobai just wanted to shut off the annoying phone alert.


    [Detected that the host is crossing the embryonic membrane of heaven and earth and leaving this world. Do you need to anchor this new world for future transportation?]


    Then, the words of the Turtle Treasure made Chen Mobai, who was unconscious, instantly sober. He mustered a little strength.


    Amid the intense pain of being scorched by flames, he forced his divine sense to become excited and issued the ¡°Yes¡± command.


    After that, he could no longer hold on and fell into unconsciousness once more. When Chen Mobai woke up, it was already ten days later.


    He was lying in a room in the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Senior Brother is awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡±


    The one speaking was Yan Jinye. As a true disciple of the Alchemy Department, she had some achievements in medical skills. After the grandmaster confirmed that Chen Mobai had no life-threatening conditions, she, as his junior, was left behind to take care of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister. My consciousness is a bit muddled, but overall, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having just woken up, Chen Mobai was a bit confused and replied cautiously.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll go notify the Sect Leader.¡±


    Yan Jinye breathed a sigh of relief and then turned and left.


    Shortly after, Meng Hong, along with a skinny middle-aged man with a clear and thin face and a goatee, came in.


    ¡°Hmm, his vitality is robust, and his spiritual power is steady. Judging by his pulse, he seems to have fully recovered..¡±

 Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Sword Rainbow Fission_2

    Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Sword Rainbow Fission_2


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The middle-aged man was Master Zeng from the Alchemy Department, the one who had concocted the Foundation Establishment Pill for Chen Mobar which was derived from demonic beasts. He was also the master of Yan Jinye.


    ¡°Boy, you must have gained something from the Divine Tree, these three fellows merely fainted for a day, then woke up on their own, and came to report to the Shenmu Hall. But you, you fainted for a whole of ten days, almost at par with Hong He.¡±


    Meng Hong pointed to Yan Jinye and said, making the latter lower her head in


    shame.


    ¡°Indeed, I gained something.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, thinking it was better to preserve his genius image. After all, at this point, he was regarded as one of the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect, together with Hong He.


    Hong He might have also taken ten steps, that imprint should be his.


    Since the two are equally renowned, Chen Mobai naturally can¡¯t hide his


    capabilities.


    ¡°How many steps did you take?¡±


    upon hearing this, Meng Hong, who was initially calm, couldn¡¯t help but rush to Chen Mobai¡¯s bedside, asking in an excited manner, which greatly surprised the latter.


    Did he perhaps overstate his achievements?


    -Only up to the tenth step, it¡¯s regrettable that I couldn¡¯t touch the Divine Tree.¡± But there was nothing he could do, having already spoken, he had to continue and play along.


    Everyone in the room gasped in astonishment.


    Even Master Zeng, who had been cold-faced since he came in, showed an astonished expression upon hearing that Chen Mobai had taken ten steps in front of the Divine Tree.


    During the time before the Five Elements Sect was divided, he too had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm but could only take six steps in front of the Divine Tree.


    It was precisely because he had experienced it that he knew how hard it was to


    take ten steps.


    This was not as simple as one plus one but a huge disparity of many folds, even tenfold.


    No doubt, this man is truly a Sword Cultivation Genius!


    Only this kind of person with a sword heart made of iron could resist such a terrifying Divine Sense Attack that resembled a raging storm.


    This little guy might even be more talented than Hong He.


    Seeing the astonished gazes of Meng Hong and Master Zeng, Chen Mobai felt he might have bragged a bit too much.


    However, at this point, he had no choice but to keep up the facade.


    ¡°Chen senior brother, you are truly formidable!


    Yan Jinye looked at the handsome young man lying on the sickbed with a slightly pale face, full of admiration.


    She felt that even if this person was seriously injured and could only lift a finger, he could easily annihilate a mediocrity like her.


    Because she had just experienced the Divine Tree¡¯s test, the terrifying pressure that was like the dark clouds covering the sky, omnipresent, yet inescapable, was still fresh in her mind.


    Compared to Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou who could only rely on their memories, she was more familiar with the difficulty and pain right now.


    ¡°You are the first True Disciple since our sect was divided from the Five Elements Sect, to take ten steps toward the Divine Tree. Can you share in detail?¡±


    Meng Hong asked Chen Mobai solemnly.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt dizzy.


    Why was he the first?


    Is Hong He so incompetent that he couldn¡¯t take ten steps?


    Originally, when he heard from figures like E Yun and Zhou Wangshen highly regarded Hong He, and Meng Hong mentioned that he and Hong He had similarly fainted for about the same duration, he had thought that this person had also taken ten steps. He was even considering that Hong He was indeed worthy of being called the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect with him, a sword cultivation genius.


    Who knew he had been deceived.


    If it weren¡¯t for the gains he last obtained from the Divine Tree, he probably could have had his persona collapse today.


    ¡°This should have been my extraordinary fortune, even within the sect, I don¡¯t want to leave any traces.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong understood what he was implying.


    ¡°Rest assured, your gains from the Divine Tree will only be shared orally within the transfer department and won¡¯t be recorded as text in the Book Pavilion.¡± ¡°Moreover, regardless of whether this fortune is useful to our Divine Wood Sect, I, as the sect leader, will privately compensate you with a Rank-2 Magic


    Artifact.¡±


    ¡°Master Zeng is a direct disciple of elder Zhou, this matter needs to be reported to him when Elder Zhou comes out.¡±


    Upon hearing these three sentences, Chen Mobai knew that even if he had decided not to disclose his gains in front of the Divine Tree, it probably wouldn¡¯t have worked out.


    Elder Zhou was involved after all.


    Since that was the case, Chen Mobai began to use his imagination, combined with the characters he liked from the TV shows he had watched, promptly made up an improvisational story which was half real, half fake, yet it left Meng Hong and the others startled.


    ¡°I took the tenth step, but realized that even with my talent, I could just stop here, not daring to cross the line.¡±


    ¡°However, as a Sword Cultivator, we would rather break than bend, even knowing that I might die if I take the eleventh step, I remained fearless. I took the next step and also swung the most brilliant sword of my life towards the


    Divine Tree.¡±


    -Once this sword was swung, I felt as if I had shattered into pieces and fell into a long sleep. I don¡¯t know for how long, but when I woke up in the darkness, I saw an extremely tall figure.¡±


    -This person was facing away from the world, had hair as black as ink, and held a Rotten Wood Sword in his right hand.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°He spoke a sentence and swung a sword.¡±


    -With that sword, space shattered, even the Dao was slashed away, but finally, a new world was born, I guess it was the origin of the Divine Tree Secret


    Realm.¡±


    ¡°After opening the world with one sword, he asked if I saw it clearly.


    ¡°I shook my head, he sighed, then slowly disappeared. Later, I woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Yin junior sister..

 Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission 3

    Chapter 251: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission 3


    Translator: 549690339 |


    After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Meng Hong and his two comrades were astounded beyond words.


    Given their knowledge and experiences, they truly couldn¡¯t conceive of the majestic being described by Chen Mobai. It had completely surpassed anything written in the ancient texts, even the celestial beings in myths and folklore.


    Remember that even the True Monarch who achieved ascendance, his greatest feat was to shatter the Yunmeng River, transforming it into thousands of water ponds.


    But the power to destroy continents, in the eyes of Meng Hong and his companions, was already the pinnacle of power.


    The supreme being Chen Mobai described, capable of creating a world with a single sword stroke, could likely only be paralleled by the Mother of Water, a primal force at the creation of the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Did that honorable being leave a Taoist name?¡±


    Meng Hong asked, cautiously.


    ¡°Of course, he did. Just before he swung his sword, he said: ¡®I am the Blue Emperor. Here, I manifest the Sword of Everlife. Whoever masters this sword may be considered my disciple.¡±


    Listening to these words, Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou exchanged a glance, their expressions turning even more solemn.


    The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a vestige left behind by the great ancient faction, the Everlife Sect. According to the legend, the origins of the Everlife Sect are so ancient, they¡¯re traced back to the time when the Mother of Water created the continents and oceans. It seems that this lineage belongs to the Blue Emperor.


    ¡°Are there any more?¡±


    Seeing Meng Hong and his comrades¡¯ hopeful gaze, Chen Mobai could only shake his head.


    He had already woven a tale involving the creation of the world, going any further would delve into the primal chaos and the formation of the elements.


    ¡°How unfortunate that you didn¡¯t master the Sword of Everlife. If you had, you might have gained the full approval of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which could potentially grant you free access and control over all its resources.¡±


    As Meng Hong sighed in regret, Chen Mobai was stirred.


    He remembered the notification Turtle Treasure had sent just before he passed out. He wondered if the anchoring had been successful.


    ¡°The Divine Tree Secret Realm¡¯s spiritual energy is passable; its Spirit Trees, Dao Tree, Magic Treasure Tree, Talent Tree could benefit new Foundation Establishment practitioners at the most. Its resources are probably no better than those in the Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Chen Mobai remarked tentatively.


    ¡°Only the environment of the Divine Tree Secret Realm can cultivate Everlife Wood.¡±


    Meng Hong commented, before looking at Chen Mobai keenly.


    ¡°Honghe has taken nine steps and has become the True Disciple of the Everlife Sect, gaining some benefits. Aside from seeing the Blue Emperor¡¯s Sword of Everlife, did you gain any other benefits?¡±


    Here it comes!


    Chen Mobai knew that Meng Hong, as a seasoned veteran, would not believe him unconditionally unless he saw some substantial proof.


    But it was better for them to be sceptical, it would provide the perfect opportunity to reveal his newly mastered Sword Dao Realm.


    ¡°Although I didn¡¯t grasp the Blue Emperor¡¯s Sword of Everlife, I have made ¡®minor¡¯ achievements in the Sword Dao. As a natural progression, my Sword Dao Realm has reached another level. It was a blessing in disguise.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai extended his right forefinger casually.


    Then, a trace of purple flame ignited at his fingertip, in an instant, all the unbound spiritual energies in the room were drawn away by his fingertip.


    The concentrated spiritual power then coalesced, manifesting as a rainbow-like sword rain, brimming with immense power.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While it should have dispersed in all directions, it was firmly tethered at Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertip, turning into a transparent purple jade sword light, which resembled flowing lava.


    Seeing this, Meng Hong¡¯s visage turned serious, and he brought out a Rank-2 Spirit Leaf Talisman.


    However, the defensive talisman, which could easily deflect Rainbow Sword Qi, couldn¡¯t endure even a moment in the face of the Purple Jade Sword Light, it was cleaved in two and burned to ashes, scattering on the ground.


    ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission!¡±


    Witnessing the sight, Meng Hong and his comrades gasped in astonishment, yet again..

 Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: Chapter 238: Ceremony of Acknowledging a Master 1

    Chapter 252: Chapter 238: Ceremony of Acknowledging a Master 1


    South Mountain.


    Chen Mobai sat in front of his wooden cabin, idly tossing a wisp of purple flame in his palm.


    After demonstrating the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± at the Shenmu Hall, Meng Hong immediately had Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear on their Dao heart that they would never divulge this matter.


    Sword Cultivators are known for their unrivalled combat prowess within their own rank, which mainly relies on the powerful single strike power after cultivating sword light.


    The first three realms of sword cultivators-Sword Training to become Gang Sword Gang Transforming Qi, and Rainbow Sword Qi-are indeed formidable but are not invincible within their rank.


    Only after cultivatation of Sword Light, harnessing all spiritual power focused into one point, can a sword cultivator truly rise above the rest.


    Rainbow Sword Qi draws multiple times more elemental energy from a single point of spiritual power, forming a sky-covering sword Qi long rainbow to suppress opponents.


    Despite its power, this attack can be defended against with a defensive magic weapon or a spirit talisman due to its lack of concentration.


    As an example, during the grand competition of the sect, the Spirit Leaf Talisman that Zhou Wangshen gave to Feng Hongxue easily blocked Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    To remedy this shortcoming, the fourth realm of sword cultivators is ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±.


    Tying the sky-full-of sword rainbows into a string, it collects all the power and transforms into an extreme terrifying sword light. Its power is more than ten times that of the sword rainbow.


    Generally speaking, those who are able to cultivate sword light are at least mid-stage foundation sword cultivators and even then, they are considered extraordinarily talented.


    In the history of the Eastern Wilderness, it¡¯s recorded that more than 80 percent of sword cultivators who could achieve Sword Rainbow Fission were in the late foundation stage.


    Having reached this realm of sword Dao at the early foundation stage Chen Mobai was, according to the records of the Divine Wood Sect, the first one in the Eastern Wilderness to do so.


    It¡¯s precisely because of this that Meng Hong, staking his position as a sect leader, made Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear a Dao heart oath after seeing the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    This is akin to drawing a divine sword, which when unsheathed must not unleash destruction lightly, and absolutely must not run the risk of exposure to opposing sects.


    After cultivating the sword light, those who can stand up to Chen Mobai are only those in the late foundation stage and a few remarkably talented individuals in the mid foundation stage.


    After Chen Mobai recovered, Meng Hong had him return to South Mountain.


    The Sect Leader only had one directive.


    Keep on practicing your sword!


    The realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±, being the starting point for a sword cultivator¡¯s peerless ability among peers, is also broad and profound Cultivating sword light is just the beginning, sword light differentiation is when one truly gains mastery.


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s current level, he can only condense a Purple Fire Sword Light, and that¡¯s only with the aid of the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    When he is capable of differentiating hundreds or thousands of sword lights, he will truly be an invincible force when pitted against individuals or a horde. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind moved and he ignited the Qingyang Fire Seed in his palm, which absorbed the free spiritual energy from the peak of South Mountain, and instantly condensed into a jade-like, flowing molten sword light.


    This was the ¡°Purple Fire Sword Light¡± from Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Through the manipulation of his divine sense, a second small Purple Fire Sword Light sprouted from the top of the Purple Fire Sword Light floating in his palm, much like a branch from a tree.


    This newly differentiated sword light burst forth and landed on a rock at the peak of the mountain.


    The sword light sank into the rock, silently melting it into molten lava, scorching a large swath of green grass. This was ¡°Sword Light Differentiation¡±.


    The divine tree had empowered him with the complete understanding of this realm. With a mere thought, it was as if the practice and realization of many years came to him, and he could execute it with ease.


    It¡¯s a pity that his divine consciousness strength is not sufficient. While it¡¯s considered decent at his current level, it only allows him to differentiate a second Purple Fire Sword Light.


    Naturally, he didn¡¯t demonstrate this level at the Shenmu Hall.


    This was to maintain his persona of an unparalleled sword Dao prodigy. A few years later, he could casually use it, giving the impression it was of his own understanding.


    The main reason he fabricated the story of the Blue Emperor was for this reason.


    Firstly, it portrayed that he ascended to the realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± by observing the Blue Emperor¡¯s Immortal Sword, showcasing his authentic natural gift for sword Dao.


    To further consolidate his persona.


    Secondly¡­


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and opened ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    The single teleportation button that was originally there had become two.


    [Teleportation 1], [Teleportation 2].


    He named Teleportation i ¡°Tianhe Realm¡±, and Teleportation 2 ¡°Divine Wood Realm¡±.


    The Turtle Treasure was indeed amazing. Even though its master had been unconscious, it still successfully anchored the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Chen Mobai planned to develop this secret realm later when his cultivation level was high enough for him to be in control of the overall situation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As just one person, he might not be able to fully utilize all the resources of the Divine Tree Secret Realm and may need the assistance of the sect or the Immortal Gate in the future.


    However, compared to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai believed the Divine Wood Sect would make better partners.


    He felt that if he stayed here for a few decades, he might even become sect leader. If the two Gold Core Elders died, wouldn¡¯t he have the final say?


    Moreover, he didn¡¯t want to expose the existence of the Turtle Treasure. He wouldn¡¯t be able to fool the Immortal Gate, so it would be best to deepen his roots in Tianhe Realm first.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai laid the groundwork in the Divine Wood Sect by fabricating the story, so when the time comes, he could claim that he had comprehended the Immortal Sword and can freely enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm..

 Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 238: The Ceremony of Accepting a

    Chapter 253: Chapter 238: The Ceremony of Accepting a


    Master_2


    ¡°Master, Brother Liu is back.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming called from outside the formation.


    Chen Mobai withdrew the Qingyang Fire Seed, and the Purple Fire Sword Light disappeared instantly.


    He rubbed his eyes, which were slightly sore and swollen from staring at the flames for a long time, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh that he needed to buy some eye drops.


    At the same time, an entrance was opened in the thick fog of the formation that enveloped the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    It was a Rank-2 Cloud Mist Array acquired from the Spirit Plant Division. Besides defense, it could also gather cloud and fog from the sky. When it reached a certain level, it could transform into a Spirit Rain and moisten the earth.


    Chen Mobai placed the core of the formation on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, considering he had many secrets, and he couldn¡¯t let his disciple stumble upon some matters.


    After the Cloud Mist Array opened, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming entered with respectful expressions.


    ¡°Master, as per your expectation, I brought all the spirit plants from the Water Mansion.¡±


    While speaking, Liu Wenbo took out three jade boxes of various sizes from his storage bag.


    These are tools used in the Tianhe Realm to preserve spirit plants and medicinal herbs, capable of preserving spiritual energy for the longest time.


    Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in the Immortal Sect, there is also a specific division for ¡°Jade Masters¡±, which includes knowledge like jade hunting, jade nurturing, jade cutting, jade carving, jade repairing, etc. This is considered a relatively high-end profession.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, it is simply classified under Artifact Refiners.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found that the three jade boxes were prepared with care, and even had some patterns on them.


    He first opened the long jade box, inside which were four slender bamboos, all uprooted with their branches and leaves untrimmed, taken out completely. However, the Gold edge bamboo seemed to have been drained of spiritual energy and had wilted.


    ¡°Huh, why is this?¡±


    Chen Mobai intended to use this bamboo as a pen shaft, and now in this condition, he didn¡¯t know if it could still be used.


    ¡°I beg your pardon, Master. After I plucked the Bamboo Fruit, this Gold edge bamboo wilted. I consulted with my family and learned that to harvest this Bamboo Fruit, the entire bamboo plant¡¯s spiritual energy must be drained for it to mature.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about this, but he understood that his disciple wouldn¡¯t deceive him on such matters. He nodded his head, accepting his explanation.


    Then, he opened the smallest box, and pure Wood Spiritual Energy rushed out. Inside was a smooth and fist-sized, deep green fruit.


    This was the Bamboo Fruit.


    After Chen Mobai confirmed it, he immediately closed the box to prevent the loss of spiritual energy.


    The Bamboo Fruit, which had been nurtured for sixty years to maturity, had reached the high-quality of Rank-2. If it¡¯s sold in the market, it could sell for at least several hundreds of Spirit Stones.


    However, he already had a plan for this fruit and didn¡¯t want the Alchemists of the Tianhe Realm to waste it.


    In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, his pill was underrated due to the poison in the Longevity Spiritual Power.


    So, it¡¯s better to let Alchemists of the Immortal Sect handle it.


    Chen Mobai opened the final jade box, which was full of crimson soil and six or seven Jade Bamboo shoots peeping out, wrapped in red soil.


    ¡°Wenbo, you¡¯ve worked hard. Take these two bamboos.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave his eldest disciple two Silver-edge Bamboos from the long jade box. The latter refused at first but accepted them after some persuasion.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, take one too.¡±


    The Rank-1 Jade Bamboo was useless to Chen Mobai, but it was a spiritual object for Zhuo Ming. After all, the bamboo leaves could be used as talisman paper, and the bamboo body could be made into a Talisman Pen Shaft.


    After thanking their Master, the two disciples were about to leave.


    ¡°In two days, I have invited a few friends to officially take you two as disciples.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming both showed delighted expressions.


    Although the three of them had already set their roles, only after the official master-disciple ceremony Chen Mobai would become their support.


    From then on, when the two of them acted outside, they could act under his name.


    ¡°Hahaha, I have to call you Uncle Master now.¡±


    Qi Rui was the first to arrive on the day of the ceremony.


    He was Chen Mobai¡¯s death-defying friend, and even though Chen Mobai is now the first of the true disciples and even a Foundation Establishment Elder, Qi Rui was still carefree and made jokes.


    ¡°In a few years, this title will have to change back. This rule isn¡¯t good.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qi Rui showed a face full of happiness. This was him saying that Qi Rui could get the next batch of Foundation Building Pills and successfully complete Foundation Establishment in one attempt.


    ¡°This has been the rule since ancient times, and it can¡¯t be changed.¡±


    The two chatted for a while, then Xi Jing Huo arrived, and not just him, but also Qi Hou came.


    ¡°Qi Brother, it¡¯s rare to see you.¡±


    Chen Mobai personally welcomed him up the mountain.


    Qi Hou squeezed out a smile. After receiving the Foundation Building Pill, he had been in seclusion. Because of the incident in the Divine Tree Secret Realm some time ago, he forced himself into Foundation Establishment but failed.


    Seeing Chen Mobai and recalling the young man who used to need his protection when going to Cloud Dream Field for cultivation, Qi Hou couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of desolation. Now that young man was already a successful Foundation Establishment cultivator, and together with Hong He, was acclaimed as the peerless twin pride of Divine Wood Sect, Qi Hou could only address him as Uncle Master.


    ¡°Here, this is our gift.¡±


    Compared to them, Xi Jinghuo, like Qi Rui, casually handed a jade box to Chen Mobai.


    South Mountain was rather simple.


    Chen Mobai straightly set up the Master-Disciple ceremony outdoors, outside the wooden house.


    Cultivators are generally free-spirited and saw no issue in this. Xi Jinghuo and Qi Hou directly sauntered to Qi Rui¡¯s side and sat together, forming a circle.


    The next ones to arrive were E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and Yan Jinye.


    The first two were Chen Mobai¡¯s buddies, and the latter had taken care of him for a long time at Shenmu Hall. After learning about Chen Mobai¡¯s background, he sought to form a close relationship, and they had grown fond of each other over time.


    Their arrival rounded up most of the attendees.


    After all, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know many people in the sect.


    Two invitations were also sent to Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang, but the former, who preferred staying at home, sent a Spirit Talisman through E Yun.


    Chen Mobai accepted it with thanks.


    After a while, Sun Gaochang also arrived, bringing Lu Jun and Teng Jie.


    Once everyone had arrived, Chen Mobai invited Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming to introduce themselves to the crowd.


    His two disciples were presentable, an attractive man and woman, receiving compliments from the crowd.


    Then came the Master-Disciple ceremony.


    There was no such red tape in the Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai sat at his designated spot, had the Master-Disciple tea presented by the two, and thus the Master-Disciple relationship was established.


    From here on, the three of them will share weal and woe.


    ¡°Master, this is the Master-Disciple gift from our Liu family¡¯s Great Elder.¡±


    After Liu Wenbo presented the tea, he gave Chen Mobai a jade box.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised by this gesture. Upon inspecting the contents, he found it to be a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, an arm guard covered with scales.


    ¡°Please thank the Great Elder for me.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai decided to accept the Magic Artifact.


    He was aware of the Liu family, who had made a fortune by breeding Azure Blood Carps. Apart from their Great Elder, they also had a Foundation Establishment cultivator under the wings of the Five Elements Sect.


    Now, Liu Wenbo was rising rapidly within the Divine Wood Sect and was expected to become a disciple of a core lineage. The resources the family provided were growing accordingly, resulting in a particularly generous Master-Disciple gift.


    Rank-2 Magic Artifacts, especially defensive ones, were even more valuable. This arm guard could be worth thousands of Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Master, this is my Master-Disciple gift.¡±


    Zhuo Ming might not have a cultivation family supporting her like Liu Wenbo, but she also presented her cherished possession, the most valuable item she had.


    A yellowing Taoist book called the ¡°Classic of Materia Medica.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re kind-hearted.¡±


    Without checking inside, Chen Mobai accepted it with a smile.


    He knew about this disciple¡¯s wealth. This Taoist book was her heirloom. Giving it as a gift indicated the sincerity of her intention.


    ¡°Hahaha, it seems like I¡¯ve come at just the right time.¡±


    An familiar voice sounded from mid-air as the Master-Disciple ceremony was coming to an end.


    Meng Hong descended from the sky, walked over laughing merrily.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader.¡±


    ¡°Get up, get up, no need for formalities.¡±


    Meng Hong signaled everyone not to come over and to make themselves comfortable. Then he took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Here are the things I promised you, and I added a little extra.¡±


    After handing over the items, Meng Hong took out two bottles of elixirs from his pocket and gave them to Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming. Then, without a shred of modesty, he sat down.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your wine? Little Yun told me that your brewed wine is unparalleled, just like your swordsmanship.¡±


    At these words, E Yun became a bit embarrassed.


    He wasn¡¯t keen on people knowing his nickname.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, open a jar.¡±


    Today, Chen Mobai was naturally not stingy. Zhuo Ming, who also participated in the making of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine last year, distributed each guest a jar of the pleasantly sealed miniature jars of wine.


    ¡°The wine will not run short today.¡±


    At these words, Sun Gaochang¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    That night, the guests were merry..

 Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Inventorying the Gains l

    Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Inventorying the Gains l


    After seeing off the guests, Chen Mobai sorted the gifts he had received.


    Pills or Spirit Talismans, suitable for Qi Practitioners, were the presents given by E Yun and the rest. He divided them equally between Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.


    The former immediately tucked them into his storage bag while the latter held them in her hands.


    ¡°This is the storage bag I used to use. You can have it.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the storage bag he had bought from Yuan Chiye to Zhuo Ming. Besides not wanting his disciple to look too shabby, it was also because today Meng Hong had gifted him a larger storage bag.


    The space in this bag was ten cubic meters, ten times the size of the one he had previously used.


    Adhering to the principle of allocating resources where they would be of most use, he gave the replaced one to his disciple.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming excitedly received the storage bag, something she had long coveted.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, this artifact was priced at a hundred Spirit Stones. Today, by becoming a disciple, she¡¯s harvested the most.


    ¡°How are you doing with your Cultivation Techniques?¡±


    Now that they had officially become disciples, Chen Mobai naturally had to show some concern and asked about their progress in their cultivation.


    ¡°Master, after I halted the cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Jue, as expected, there were signs of improvement in the longevity sutra. Within two years, I am hopeful of attaining the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    Liu Wenbo talked about his progress in cultivation, with a face full of admiration.


    Originally, he felt that becoming a true disciple before the next batch of Foundation Building Pills was ready would be great. Now, it seems that he might secure his position as a true disciple three to four years earlier.


    ¡°In the next two years, besides improving the Longevity Sutra, I also plan to gradually convert the Red Flame Sword Jue into the family¡¯s secret Azure Water Cultivation. According to Master¡¯s idea, I will alternate between water and wood cultivation techniques.¡±


    Liu Wenbo still listened obediently, probably because he had also consulted with the elders of his family.


    The Liu family¡¯s inherited technique is also of water attribute, which may suggest their intent on having him inherit the family clan in the future.


    ¡°Excellent. Given your resources, plus the backing of E Yun and others, you should at least be able to wait for two batches of Foundation Building Pills to be ready. Spiritual attainment, however, depends on your future opportunities.¡±


    Between his words, Chen Mobai has already arranged the future path for this oldest disciple of his.


    Upon hearing this, even the normally composed Liu Wenbo was visibly excited.


    You have to understand that even with the Liu family¡¯s resources, they could not easily afford a Foundation Building Pill.


    It¡¯s not something that can be measured in Spirit Stones, it is a strategic resource used by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness to contain all cultivation forces.


    But after becoming a disciple of Chen Mobai, Liu Wenbo has at least two opportunities to strive for this.


    Moreover, the first Foundation Building Pill was basically a sure thing. But whether he could get the second one depended on the attitude of the sect¡¯s upper echelons at that time.


    Even so, Liu Wenbo was already very excited.


    He had become the most likely prospect in his generation to establish a foundation with the Liu family¡¯s support.


    It is precisely because of this that the Liu family was willing to present a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, and more than that, a preciously rare defensive Magic Weapon.


    ¡°Master, I have also decided to switch to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming also revealed her choice.


    She had also been practicing Earth Spiritual Energy during this period, and sure enough, compared to the difficult practice of Wood Spiritual Energy, which required extra focus to refine into her body, Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy seemed to rush eagerly into her body in great numbers.


    And although she has become a disciple under Chen Mobai, she knows that to strive for the Foundation Building Pill, her ability to duel with magic must also be improved. It is obvious that it is not possible to compete for the position of true disciple with the difficult-to-cultivate Wood Attribute Spells.


    ¡°Have you decided which cultivation technique you are switching to?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite satisfied with his obedient disciples as compared to the unique students of his immortal sect. The cultivators here were more open to advice.


    ¡°I have read a few in the Book Pavilion, but I am not sure how to choose. Could Master please give me some advice?¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt a bit troubled.


    In Divine Wood Sect, he had only studied the Longevity Sutra, Red Flame Sword Jue, and Two Phases Cultivation with focus. When it came to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, he was utterly ignorant.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Book Pavilion together tomorrow.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai was somewhat confident in his ability to appraise cultivation techniques, after all, they were not valued very highly over at the immortal sect.


    In Tianhe Realm, these secret manuals considered as treasures whereas, on Dinyuan Star, they were shared knowledge.


    Many cultivators in Divine Wood Sect could only peruse a few cultivation techniques in their lifetime. However, Chen Mobai had examined several, in addition to the influence of TV shows, films, and novels, there were at least hundreds if not thousands.


    Moreover, he could spend the night giving himself a crash course.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo thanked him and retreated.


    Chen Mobai began to examine the large storage bag that Meng Hong had given him.


    Pouring it directly, it was accompanied by the clatter of precious stones.


    A heap of luminous jade, shimmering with spiritual light, made him squint his eyes.

    So many Spirit Stones.


    A sweep of his Divine Sense, and Chen Mobai had already counted them all.


    The Sect Leader¡¯s generosity was indeed impressive, a full hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    Equivalent to normal units, that was ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    When Meng Hong left after the drink, he said that considering the value of the information on the Daoist Trees Chen Mobai had contributed, in addition to the promised Rank-2 Magic Artifact, he gave him a bit more as a reward for Chen¡¯s ¡°openness and honesty¡± and his ¡°loyalty¡± to the sect..

 Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: Chapter 239 Tallying the Harvest_2

    Chapter 255: Chapter 239 Tallying the Harvest_2


    It just so happened that Chen Mobai recently felt that he almost accomplished his cultivation of the Trithereal Body, and could now begin the next stage for the Sixthereal Body.


    The intermediate grade Spirit Stone came at just the right time.


    It would be enough to complete his cultivation of the Fourthereal and


    Fifthereal.


    And inside the storage bag, apart from the Spirit Stones, there was the Rank-2


    Magic Artifact that was mentioned at the beginning.


    However, it wasn¡¯t just one, but two pieces.


    Both were Flying Swords.


    One of them was the Divine Wood Sword that Chen Mobai was most familiar with, which was the standard Flying Sword of the Divine Wood Sect available from Rank-1 to Rank-3.


    The Flying Sword given to him was the one he had used during the sect¡¯s competition. It was perhaps because they thought he was familiar with it, so they directly called for it from the storage of the Spirit Plant Department. However, a lower-grade Rank-2 Flying Sword naturally does not suit the status and the level of the Sect Leader.


    Chen Mobai picked up a hairpin.


    This hairpin was jade green, the end carved into the shape of a sparrow showing hints of dark gold. The moment he held it, he felt a chilling Sword Qi.


    This was also a Flying Sword.


    But its grade had reached upper grade Rank-2, a proud creation of the head of the Artifact Refining Department, named ¡°Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡±.


    It was carved from a branch of Rank-3 Golden Yang Wood. It can perfectly withstand the super high temperature of the Qingyang Fire Seed. Even more so, it complements each other. If this hairpin were to stimulate Purple Fire Sword Light, its power could rise to another level.


    Chen Mobai immediately conducted some tests.


    Upon seeing the originally pure purple fire seed, when he channeled it into the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and reached the realm of the Sword Rainbow Fission, a trace of cyan emerged in the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    The color between purple and cyan indicated the thriving nature of the fire seed.


    Once the pure purple completely changed to pure cyan, it implied that ¡°Qingyang Fire¡± was accomplished. If he further cultivates ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±, then it would mean he truly became invincible below Gold Core.


    Meng Hong had chosen this Magic Artifact for Chen Mobai with deep consideration.


    It suits him very well.


    In line with the Divine Wood Sword and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, two corresponding Refine Treasure Techniques were also included.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading them, he directly used his Divine Sense and Spirit Qi to refine these two large and small Flying Swords.


    It was just right since his hair grew longer. He¡¯d always let it down before, but now with the hairpin, it could be styled.


    Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t proficient in this area, and eventually ended up simply coiling up his hair and attaching the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    As for the Divine Wood Sword, he toyed with it for a while and then set it aside.


    Then, Chen Mobai took out the Green Scale Arm Guard that Liu Wenbo had gifted him.


    There was a corresponding Refine Treasure Technique for it as well, and he found this Magic Artifact extremely interesting and ingeniously designed.


    It was a Defensive Magic Weapon made from cold iron and the scales of the Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp.


    Upon infusing Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai saw the green scales on the surface of the armguard flying off like a shower of falling blossoms, forming a scale shield in front of him.


    He used his Divine Sense to strike the shield with the Divine Wood Sword, but could only leave a white mark on it.


    Even a Sword Rainbow cut only managed to shatter two or three scales, entirely unable to break through the dense scale barrier.


    The most mystic part about this scale shield was that it could continually change its shape and move its position with Divine Sense, very similar to the Water Elemental Shield, only its defense ability was vastly different.


    Chen Mobai found it very interesting, at his will, the scales on his face turned into a mask, covering the lower half of his face, making his originally handsome face look both mysterious and powerful.


    He had the scales form the shape of a skateboard, which he then stood on, discovering that it could also be used for flight.


    The Senior Elder of the Liu family, known as the top Artifact Refiner in Yun Country, truly lived up to his reputation.


    Chen Mobai really loved this Green Scale Arm Guard.


    In the Tianhe Realm, a Rank-2 Magic Artifact was valued at least a hundred Spirit Stones, with the highest quality ones even selling for several thousand Spirit Stones.


    Although the grade of this Green Scale Arm Guard was only Rank-2 lower-grade, as a defensive Magic Weapon its price could match a Rank-2 intermediate-grade Flying Sword. Additionally, with its multiple functions, it could probably sell for nearly thousand Spirit Stones in the market.


    The gift for accepting a disciple was a bit too much.


    It seemed that he had to pay more attention to his senior disciple Liu Wenbo in the future.


    Considering that he had the Divine Wood Sword and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin for attack, and the Green Scale Arm Guard for defense, along with the realm of the Sword Rainbow Fission and the Qingyang Fire Seed, Chen Mobai felt somewhat secure for the first time.


    Now that he was prepared for both offense and defense, he should be able to put up a fight against cultivators at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, right?


    Chen Mobai, who had no clear concept of his own combat power, thought so. Wearing the arm guard, it perfectly covered the part of his body that had been burnt by the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    The Wood Fire has a characteristic that prevents wound from healing, and it continually burned the body¡¯s Qi and Blood. However, his injuries had been treated by Senior Master Zeng, the negative effects of Blood Combustion were eliminated, but even so, it would still take a month for complete recovery.


    After stowing the Divine Wood Sword in the storage bag, Chen Mobai started to examine the gift from Zhuo Ming.


    Classic of Materia Medical


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was a book of Wood Attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, which could be cultivated up to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. However, it did not record corresponding Spells, instead, it appended two Elixir recipes at the end.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai knew that Zhuo Ming had indeed given him her most precious possession.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the value of Elixir recipes surpassed that of Cultivation Techniques.


    These two Elixir recipes were known as the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup respectively, both of which were Rank-1 Elixirs.


    The Hundred Herb Elixir was suitable for cultivators in the mid and late stage of Qi Cultivation to consume, which could enhance the efficiency of refining Spiritual Qi..

 Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: Chapter 239: Tallying Harvest s

    Chapter 256: Chapter 239: Tallying Harvest s


    The Restoring God Soup, as its name suggests, can nourish divine sense. If consumed for a long time during the mid-phase of Qi cultivation, one will sense divine sense ahead of time. Those who have already cultivated divine sense can also enhance it by taking this medicine.


    For Qi practitioners, if these two formulas can be successfully concocted, they can be considered invaluable treasures.


    Unfortunately, Zhuo Ming never thought about Alchemy in this life. She clearly remembers that her father went through years of hardship to gather the medicinal materials for the Hundred Herb Elixir. He started the concoction process himself, but the furnace just ended up in ashes.


    Even if one were to hire an Alchemist among the loose cultivators to concoct it, not only would he need to provide the formula and spirit stones, but he would also need to collect the medicinal materials himself. Moreover, the success rate isn¡¯t guaranteed, and there is a two to three percent chance that the furnace would turn into ashes.


    Given these experiences, even though Zhuo Ming knew the immense value of the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, she never intended to concoct them herself.


    Chen Mobai, after a glance, didn¡¯t care either.


    As for the formulas, immortal sects always print them on the packaging box of each spiritual medicine.


    After finishing the Classic of Materia Medica, Chen Mobai finally took out the ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡± he obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    This spiritual object, which looked like a green gemstone, felt icy cool and comfortable in his palm. It felt so comfortable that even his burned areas seemed to heal faster.


    He recalled the cultivation technique he got from the Talent Tree to refine this ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡±.


    This spiritual object has been brought back several times since the Divine Tree Secret Realm was recorded. After the Divine Wood Sect separated from the Five Elements sect, only one senior sister got it.


    After she consumed it, her Purple Palace expanded, her divine sense increased greatly, and she could even control a Rank-3 puppet. She became quite famous in the Divine Wood Sect.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he felt it was not very good to take the ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡± directly.


    The Expansion of the Purple Palace technique states that how much one¡¯s Purple Palace can expand after consuming this spiritual object depends entirely on one¡¯s own foundation.


    If the foundation is solid and divine sense is not illusory, the Purple Palace can open more; otherwise, it opens less.


    A Foundation Establishment practitioner who can refine seven or eight percent of the power of the Green Wood Spirit Heart is considered to have a solid foundation.


    However, don¡¯t worry about wasting its power. After the Purple Palace is opened to its limit, the remaining power will also be integrated into the divine sense, enhancing the user¡¯s divine sense realm.


    But Chen Mobai felt that this was very wasteful.


    The relationship between the Purple Palace and divine sense is like a container and water.


    Divine sense is like water. No matter how much it can be increased, if the container cannot hold it, any excess is waste.


    On the contrary, if the container is expanded, even if the divine sense is weak for a while and cannot fill the container, with the accumulation over time, it will eventually be filled.


    It¡¯s easy to increase divine sense, but it requires an opportunity to enlarge the container.


    One should know that spiritual medicines to open the Purple Palace are scarce even in immortal sects, and only those above Gold Core are qualified to purchase.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and put the Green Wood Spirit Heart into the jade box.


    I wonder if Qing Nu can concoct such an elixir?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He returned to the immortal sect, first looked for Che Yucheng to report his return, and then called Qing Nu.


    But it seemed that she was concocting elixir, so she was transferred directly.


    After sending a text message, Chen Mobai went to the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy to search for basic information about the Earth Attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, and then returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Before going to the Book Pavilion, he used a small number to input Zhuo Ming¡¯s spiritual root information into the National Library of the Immortal Sect to simulate it.


    After being surer, Chen Mobai opened the Cloud Mist Array and led his apprentice, who was already waiting at the door, down the mountain..

 Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Chapter 240: Another Year_l

    Chapter 257: Chapter 240: Another Year_l


    Book Pavilion.


    Chen Mobai was sitting on the first floor, sipping tea while the disciple in charge of the pavilion, Brother Hu, was keeping him company.


    Meanwhile, Zhuo Ming had already begun selecting the cultivation technique she needed for her path transition. After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s requirements, Brother Hu directed her toward a section where he had meticulously arranged most of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    ¡°Uncle has good judgment. You have a disciple with an inherent elegance, and she should be successful in Foundation Establishment in the future.¡±


    Brother Hu, whose name was Jinshan, poured Chen Mobai a cup of his cherished tea while watching Zhuo Ming browsing through the bookshelves in Area B. Rubbing his white beard, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration.


    ¡°Oh, is Brother Hu an expert in physiognomy?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised. Although Zhuo Ming looked delicate, everyone who met her for the first time found her very ordinary, like a common stone or grass by the roadside.


    Her potential was average, and her cultivation level was also ordinary.


    She was quite diligent, though. She always completed any task assigned by Chen Mobai meticulously.


    Like E Yun and others, he thought that Chen Mobai only accepted her as a disciple because there were no other suitable candidates around, and they also shared the bond of being from the same hometown. So when Liu Wenbo became a disciple, Zhuo Ming was also conveniently accepted under his guidance.


    After all, Liu Wenbo was seen as the future True Inheritor they all held high expectations for. He would surely not stay with Chen Mobai for long. At that time, there will be many fertile lands in Xiao Nanshan that need someone to manage. Zhuo Ming was lucky. She was the only choice at that time.


    A countless number of Qi Cultivating disciples in the Divine Wood Sect envied her.


    From being an ordinary, low-level Qi Cultivating sixth level disciple, she leaped to the top, becoming a disciple of the Chief True Inheritor and a Foundation Building elder.


    No matter if she becomes a True Inheritor or not, after joining Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming will no longer be lightly insulted or bullied by others.


    For dangerous missions such as opening up Yun Meng Ze, as long as she does not wish to, nobody can force her to go to the battlefield and fight.


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, but I¡¯m unable to achieve Foundation Establishment. And since I¡¯ve already surpassed the critical age of sixty, there¡¯s no need to waste time on cultivation, so I naturally read various books.¡±


    ¡°Although Disciple Zhuo looks very ordinary, her features are well-proportioned. With a round forehead and moist jaw, she is endowed with a very auspicious bearing. If she hadn¡¯t embarked on the cultivation path, she would definitely have led a life of wealth and happiness in the mundane world until the end.¡±


    ¡°Others may not notice, but I can see the innate elegance hidden in her brows. And with you, at the very least, you can shelter her for two hundred years, enough for her to grow.¡±


    After listening to Hu Jinshan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    This little round face has so many interpretations? Why didn¡¯t he see them?


    If he hadn¡¯t known from the Spirit Testing Instrument that Zhuo Ming had an excellent Earth Spirit Root, he would never have thought that she could eventually reach Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I hope Brother Hu¡¯s insights are accurate. This way, I will have a disciple to look after me in my old age.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really want people to know about Zhuo Ming¡¯s talent. After all, she had not even cultivated her Divine Sen


    ¡°Teacher, which of these four books do you think is good?¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming had come down, holding four blue books and seeking Chen Mobai¡¯s opinion.


    ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation,¡± ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree,¡± ¡°Wu Earth True Method,¡± ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll.¡±


    ¡°Brother Hu, What do you think?¡±


    As Chen Mobai began to look at these four cultivation techniques, he asked Hu Jinshan, who was seated in front of him, for his opinions.


    He had been in the Book Pavilion for decades, after all. Despite being only in the Qi Cultivating Realm, he surely knew about the various cultivation techniques and their exchange situations.


    ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree has the most practitioners. It starts with cultivating a magic artifact called Mountain Flipping Seal from the Qi Cultivating Realm. It is a magical artifact cultivating technique. It¡¯s astonishingly powerful among peers and practitioners and, if the magic artifact is cultivated well, it will accelerate the cultivator¡¯s progress. However, it consumes a lot of resources, too much for the average person to cultivate.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Wu Earth True Method is the most comprehensive. As the Earth Vein Qi Cultivating Technique of the Five Elements Sect, it¡¯s profound and extensive. In theory, once it¡¯s perfected, it can even be linked with the supreme method of the Five Elements Sect, the Primordial Dao Fruit. This is usually chosen by disciples who have some ambition and confidence in themselves.¡±


    ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll is a Qi cultivating technique that originated from the Flying Sand Sect in the Ten Directions Hall. Although it¡¯s the most ingenious of the four techniques, the version collected by the Divine Wood Sect only includes instructions up to the Foundation Building Realm. If you choose to cultivate this, you need to consider this point carefully.¡±


    ¡°Finally, we have Mother Earth Cultivation. It¡¯s not very popular compared to the other three because it requires a secondary cultivation skill, the Spirit Plant Master. Its fighting power is average, but if you have expansive fertile fields or medicinal fields to apply the techniques, it¡¯s the fastest method to cultivate instead. Due to our numerous medicinal fields in the Divine Wood Sect, this cultivation technique has many buyers. Many of them acquire it for its knowledge and most of them primarily cultivate the Longevity Sutra.¡±


    While Hu Jinshan was explaining each technique, Chen Mobai had already gone through the four cultivation techniques and naturally had no doubts in his heart.


    But this decision concerned Zhuo Ming¡¯s lifelong path, so he still gave her a choice in the end..

 Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: Chapter 240 Another Year_2

    Chapter 258: Chapter 240 Another Year_2


    ¡°Since you have joined my school, as your master, I can promise you that as long as I¡¯m in the Divine Wood Sect, you don¡¯t need to go to battle and fight if you don¡¯t want to,¡± Chen Mobai told Zhuo Ming after finishing his sentence.


    He then pulled out the ¡°Wu Earth True Method¡± and ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± and placed them on the table.


    ¡°These two cultivation techniques are whole within the sect; you need not worry about cultivation techniques before reaching the Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he said.


    ¡°If you feel that you can cultivate fully and are determined to climb to the peak of Immortal cultivation, then choose the ¡®Wu Earth True Method.¡¯


    ¡°If you decide to peacefully spend your life as my disciple, choose ¡®Mother Earth Cultivation.¡¯ I will give you the 60 acres of good farmland under Xiao Nanshan for cultivation practices,¡± he added.


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming was stunned, her mouth open wide in surprise.


    ¡°Master, my greatest wish in life is to establish a Foundation. I don¡¯t even dare to dream of Core Formation,¡± she admitted.


    ¡°We should have dreams,¡± Chen Mobai replied, shaking his head, somewhat disappointed at the modesty of her dreams.


    Those on the immortal path, even children, dream of ascending and roaming the universe.


    ¡°Choose this one then,¡± Chen Mobai said, picking up the ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± technique and using 50 spiritual stones to exchange for this Qi Cultivation technique.


    ¡°Foundation establishment elders can exchange three Qi Cultivation techniques for free each year.¡±


    Hu Jinshan laughed, pushing the spirit stones back. Chen Mobai truly didn¡¯t know about this rule.


    However, considering that there must be several Qi practitioners under the Foundation establishment elder, the Divine Wood Sect probably implemented this rule for the better development of the younger generation.


    ¡°Excluding ¡®Mountain Chasing Decree,¡¯ give me a copy of the remaining three,¡± Chen Mobai said, knowing the rule, he didn¡¯t plan to waste it. Hu Jinshan nodded, registered it, swiped the former¡¯s sect nameplate, and gave all three techniques to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Why are you giving her these? Her realm is too low now, it¡¯s better for her concentrate,¡± he reminded her.


    Chen Mobai remembered when he was studying, wanting a good looking Qi cultivation technique, how his parents ruthlessly refused him with the same reason.


    Now he tried relishing the role of a good teacher.


    He took the ¡°Wu Earth True Method,¡± and ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll¡± from Zhuo Ming¡¯s hands and put them into his storage bag.


    Zhuo Ming pursed her lips, not daring to counter him.


    She quickly shoved ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± into her storage bag, afraid that if she was too slow, her teacher would want to teach it to her layer by layer, and confiscate everything.


    Back at Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai decreed that she should manage the sixty acres of farmland below the mountain and to take care of the Yuba Lingmi in the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge.


    ¡°I am going to retreat to cultivate the ¡®Supreme Sword Dao.¡¯


    Unless it is a very important matter, even if the sect leader comes, do not disturb me.¡±


    Zhuo Ming felt both fearful and excited. She worried that she may not handle all these farmlands well, but was exhilarated at the trust her master placed in her.


    The ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± required her to manage these fields. Through the process of farming and nurturing seeds, she could gather a type of spiritual power known as the ¡°Mother Qi of All Things.¡±


    ¡°Right, there¡¯s also a shop and courtyard in Divine Wood City belonging to me that you need to manage. You can start selling the spirit wine and spirit rice. The price is same as in the market. If you have troubles, ask your big senior brother,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    After leaving this statement, he returned to the mountain, activated the cloud mist array, and shut off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Returning to the school of immortals, the carefree Chen Mobai had only one thought in mind.


    The feeling of being a hands-off store manager was great.


    Now that he didn¡¯t need to worry about the Divine Wood Sect, he concentrated on Dance Instruments Daoist Academy¡¯s courses. As he had already established his Foundation, his divine sense significantly exceeded that of the other Qi practitioners.


    Despite taking almost half of the year off for his Foundation establishment, he still scored almost full marks in all his subjects during the end-of-year exams.


    He came first in all six subjects ¨C two majors and four electives.


    Everyone thought it was only to be expected since he was the first one of his batch to establish his Foundation.


    Zhongli Tianyu doesn¡¯t count in their minds.


    ¡°Really envious of you. With just two months of casual studying, you can score first,¡± said the others.


    After the exams, the little circle of metaphysical class resumed their gatherings. Ming Yuhua sighed while holding a cup of wine and looking at Chen Mobai; he had thought he would be the first to establish his Foundation in their circle.


    ¡°How did you cultivate your boundary technique? We¡¯re at a loss.¡±


    Yunyang Bing and Wang Xingyu also came over. The people of their batch, after four years in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and benefiting from the abundant spiritual energy of Crimson Mountain, had basically all reached the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.


    However, due to the influence of the God Transformation Cultivation Technique, after extrapolating the formless puppet, to ensure a successful foundation establishment, they all followed the guidance of the successful Chen Mobai to grasp the boundary technique.


    But only two people had achieved success, one was Ming Yuhua and the other was named Lan Yufan.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s the difference in innate talent.¡±


    The one who said this was Ming Yuhua. He had already felt the trick to break through the bottleneck and had applied for his own three treasures for foundation building at the end of the year. Adding a bottle of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he planned to rent a cultivation room in Building 9 during the holiday, waiting for the mysterious opportunity to challenge the Foundation Building Realm.


    Seeing Ming Yuhua being so provocative, the rest of the group naturally refused to admit defeat. They immediately picked up their cups and swarmed over to get him drunk.


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡±


    When the party was over, Ming Yuhua coughed several times on the side of the road to get all the alcohol in his stomach out.


    ¡°Why did these bastards target me?¡±


    ¡°Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan were sitting together, a little couple with a girlfriend as a shield. We couldn¡¯t bring ourselves to target them.¡±


    Speaking was Yunyang Bing, and responding to him was a middle finger from Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°Here, this is a specially crafted Spirit Gathering Array I made. It can increase your Spirit Vein Level by a small grade. You open up a Rank-3 top-grade, it can help you improve to Rank-4 lower-grade.¡±


    ¡°Awesome, Old Yun, how did you do this?¡±


    Ming Yuhua grabbed the canvas bag from Yunyang Bing¡¯s hand, took out an array plate and eight array flags from it, and couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    They knew that students could apply for a Rank-3 top-grade spirit vein cultivation room at most, and that also needed the teacher¡¯s signature. Only when applying for foundation establishment for the first time would it be approved.


    They had been in the Daoist Academy for four years, but they had never experienced a Rank-4 spirit vein.


    ¡°You simply can¡¯t tell anyone about this. You should just know for yourself. Don¡¯t spread it. Once the academy knows about it, I guess we both will be punished.¡±


    ¡°Is there something wrong with your array? Did you find a bug in the formation of Building 9?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re overthinking. This special Spirit Gathering Array is only useful for a very short time. You can only use it at the crucial moment.¡±


    The three sat down on the roadside, talked for a while and in the end Yunyang Bing sighed.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m the last one.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, it¡¯ll be your turn next year.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could say was that as he asked Ming Yuhua about the task he had entrusted to him.


    ¡°How is my Talisman Brush coming along?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s done. He¡¯ll deliver it himself in a couple of days. But have you prepared the ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯ to exchange for it?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go exchange it tomorrow. After all, academic points are not that easy to earn.¡±


    Due to the fact that the fruit of the Golden-Edged Jade Bamboo had matured and absorbed all the spiritual energy, causing the bamboo body to wither. After sending it for inspection, it was found that it could not serve as the pen body for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush.


    So the Talisman Brush maker introduced by Ming Yuhua added his own materials and used rabbit and wolf hair to help Chen Mobai make two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes, one large and one small.


    In exchange, Chen Mobai needed to exchange a portion of ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯ for the Talisman Brush maker.


    After two days.


    The Talisman Brush maker arrived. He was also a teenager, a former high school classmate of Ming Yuhua with excellent grades, who had entered the Tian Shu Academy, one of the top ten colleges.


    The transaction completed, Ming Yuhua showed him around for two days.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As for Chen Mobai, he had already boarded the train home.


    When he left, he followed Qing Nu¡¯s request and used 20 academic points to exchange a ¡®Vermillion Fruit¡¯ from the academy¡¯s treasure house to bring back home.


    The Vermillion Fruit Tree is a special divine tree unique to Crimson Mountain. Each mountaintop has one planted, and it is a key research object in Spirit Plant classes.


    The grades of the Vermillion Fruit Trees vary. The highest-grade Rank-4 Vermillion Fruit, Chen Mobai obviously could not afford.


    The Vermillion Fruit he brought home was only Rank-2, but even so, it almost used up all his academic points..

 Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Chapter 241: Winner of Life_l

    Chapter 259: Chapter 241: Winner of Life_l


    ¡°Indeed, the Vermillion Fruit is surely a specialty of the Crimson Mountain; it¡¯s Fire Spirit energy is gentle and nourishing.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room of Danxia City¡¯s Elixir Store, Qing Nu took the jade box handed over by Chen Mobai, opened it, and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    ¡°After confirming the exchange, this fruit can be picked. As soon as I heard your request, I brought Wang Xingyu, the top alchemist in our year, with me. We scoured every hill on the Crimson Mountain for a Vermillion Fruit Tree and picked the best quality one among the Rank-2 Intermediate Grade.¡±


    In order to make this happen, Chen Mobai specifically took out a week¡¯s time during the end of the term to tutor Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°Let me take a look at your Bamboo Fruit.¡±


    Qing Nu opened another jade box on the table, and the pure clear spiritual energy made her narrow her eyes and gently nod.


    ¡°We have both primary ingredients, but we still need twenty-four auxiliary herbs, have you prepared them all?¡±


    The elixir they were preparing to refine was called ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew,¡± a type of spiritual water for eye refinement and divine sense enhancement.


    Due to Chen Mobai¡¯s continuous gazing at the Qingyang Fire Seed while cultivating Crimson Flame Sword Decree, his eyesight had slightly declined.


    Thus, he consulted Qing Nu if there was any specific spiritual elixir for this situation.


    Luckily, Bamboo fruit had the effect of clarifying vision, and Qing Nu delved into numerous sources from the Jumang Daoist Academy to find the recipe for this ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡±.


    Bamboo Fruit has a cold nature, hence, another mild and yang-filled spiritual fruit is needed as a primary ingredient to provide balance.


    The Vermillion Fruit, a specialty of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, fits this requirement perfectly.


    As for the twenty-four auxiliary herbs, these were even simpler.


    The disciples were called upon to do the task.


    For this purpose, Chen Mobai specifically returned to the Tianhe Realm and summoned his main disciple to handle it.


    Liu Wenbo did not disappoint. Despite the different names for spiritual herbs in both realms, he successfully gathered eighteen of them relying on Chen Mobai¡¯s hand-drawn patterns and descriptions of their medicinal attributes.


    As for the remaining six, if given more time, they could probably be purchased.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t further complicate this task for his disciple.


    He himself went back to the internet in the Immortal Gate and spent two hundred thousand Good Deed Points to acquire the remaining six types.


    To refine this ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew,¡± Chen Mobai invested over a hundred Spirit Stones and two hundred thousand Good Deed Points in purchasing the auxiliary herbs. Thanks to the unexpectedly obtained Bamboo Fruit and the Vermillion Fruit that could be swapped with his scholastic points, he managed to save a great deal. Making one bottle of this elixir in the Tianhe Realm would have cost at least a thousand Spirit Stones for the ingredients.


    ¡°Extracting the medicinal properties from these two main ingredients will take about half a month. Looks like I¡¯ll be occupied over the holidays.¡±


    Qing Nu complained, prompting only a sheepish smile from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I appreciate your help.¡±


    ¡°No trouble at all. Just help guide my younger brothers and sisters in their cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai patted his chest, promising to complete the task.


    Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had also returned this year, probably called back by Qing Nu.


    ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the best way to deal with this ¡®Azure Wood Spirit Core¡¯?¡±


    Having finished discussing trivial matters, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu began discussing the main event.


    The ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± is a Rank-2 spiritual water. After her second semester at Jumang Dao Academy, Qing Nu passed the Rank-2 Alchemist Assessment. Refining this spiritual water is basically a surefire success as long as she is careful.


    However, the ¡°Azure Wood Spirit Core¡± is different. According to Chen Mobai¡¯s research, in the Immortal Gate, any spiritual object that can open up the Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace is at least Rank-3.


    Although Qing Nu has been learning how to become a Rank-3 Alchemist, there is still the possibility of failure in refining a Rank-3 Elixir.


    ¡°I checked the documents. The core should ideally be refined in its original form. However, with your current Foundation Establishment Realm, it is indeed impossible to completely absorb the Azure Wood Spirit Core¡¯s effectiveness at once.¡±


    ¡°Luckily, you have an old classmate who cultivates Ice Spirit Power, right? You can absorb a bit of the core¡¯s power first, then let her perform a spell to reseal the awakened Azure Wood Spirit Core.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll prepare some Primordial Spirit Water and buy a sealed container. Triple-sealed and nurtured, the spiritual essence of the Azure Wood Spirit Core will be preserved.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give Qing Nu a thumbs-up.


    She truly was a professional.


    Deciding a date can wait, but striking while the iron is hot cannot. After hearing Qing Nu¡¯s plan, Chen Mobai immediately picked up his phone and called Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Hello there, old classmate, have you returned yet?¡±


    ¡°I arrived yesterday! Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I would¡¯ve picked you up at the station.¡±


    ¡°No worries. It¡¯s been a while since we last met, why don¡¯t we get together for a meal?¡±


    ¡°No one else, just a bunch of old friends.¡±


    ¡°Alright, see you tonight.¡±


    Having set up the date with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai flashed a ¡®mission accomplished¡¯ sign to Qing Nu. He was oblivious to the slight twitch of Qing Nu¡¯s mouth in front of him.


    ¡°Speaking of which, where are your younger brothers and sisters? Do they want to join us? I just brought back two Azura Blood Carps from home. These are undoubtedly the most delicious thing you¡¯ve never tasted.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s main disciple¡¯s family¡¯s main business was fishing. At the end of the year, as his mentor, he confessed he missed the taste of Azura Blood Carp.

    When Liu Wenbo came to deliver New Year gifts, he purposely brought nine of them.


    One of which was even a Rank-2 Azura Blood Carp King.


    Qing Nu, although still slightly irritated, couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva at the thought of the delicious fish that Chen Mobai brought before. She nodded involuntarily.


    [At least he still remembers I like to eat fish!]


    With two fish and five people, Chen Mobai felt it was just enough. Hence, he did not invite anyone else..

 Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: Chapter 241 Life Winner_2

    Chapter 260: Chapter 241 Life Winner_2


    ¡°Huh, how come you¡¯re here, class monitor?


    When Yan Bingxuan came over, she brought Mo Simin with her. Chen Mobai wondered in his heart whether there would be enough to eat.


    ¡°On the way here.¡±


    Mo Simin saw Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, who had already sat down, and her mouth twitched at the sight. However, since she didn¡¯t trust her innocent friend, Yan Bingxuan, to venture into the battlefield alone, she had decided to come over with a ¡®if I don¡¯t go to hell, who will¡¯ mentality.


    ¡°Alright, then. Boss, serve the dishes.¡±


    Since they were old classmates, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t drive them away. It was the same restaurant they ate in when they parted ways four years ago. He had sent two Azure Blood Carps to the restaurant earlier in the day and they were just perfectly grilled now.


    ¡°Where are your little brother and sister? Why haven¡¯t they arrived yet?¡± When the food was served, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu where Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were, as they hadn¡¯t arrived yet.


    ¡°They¡¯re a bit delayed, they¡¯ll be here soon.


    They ended up waiting for half an hour until Chen Mobai and the others had finished eating one of the carps before the two of them arrived.


    ¡°Hurry up, we¡¯re waiting on you. Fortunately, I had the foresight to save one.¡± Kong Feichen had matured greatly over the year. He wore a white coat and a middle-parted hairstyle. Upon arriving, he greeted everyone before sitting down.


    Yang Jing, on the other hand, sat down without a word and began to eat.


    ¡°Come to think of it, isn¡¯t it said that the success rate of Foundation


    Establishment is high for those with Different Spiritual Roots? How did you manage to fail?¡±


    Chen Mobai brought up the awkward topic, making Kong Feichen glare at him.


    The delicious food in his mouth lost its taste immediately.


    -He has a knot in his heart, or in ancient terms, he has a Heart Demon. Unless


    he breaks through this Demon, he cannot advance.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t hide anything, she quickly picked at the fish meat while talking about her brother¡¯s situation.


    ¡°A Heart Demon?¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at Yang Jing who had been eating non-stop since he sat


    down.


    ¡°It¡¯S pretty much what you¡¯re thinking, so we might need your help.¡±


    ¡°How can I help?¡±


    Regardless of his relationship with Qing Nu, Kong Feichen had been running errands for the two of them over the past two years, so it was only right for him to help.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it another time, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    After saying this, Qing Nu bowed her head and resumed her onslaught on the


    fish.


    ¡°The fish tastes even better than last time.


    Yan Bingxuan elegantly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth after


    she finished eating.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a specialty of my hometown, you can¡¯t find it anywhere else.¡±


    -I¡¯ve been to your hometown before, but I didn¡¯t see any such fish there.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked surprised. He stared blankly at Yan Bingxuan, unable to comprehend that she would travel such a distance just to eat fish.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    All those present were astonished upon hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, and couldn¡¯t resist asking more questions.


    ¡°During the holiday of our second year, I came back as you guys weren¡¯t here. Not knowing how to pass the time, I took a spontaneous trip to Green . Mountain Village. The alcohol there is good, but they don¡¯t have this fis .¡± Yan Bingxuan looked straight at Chen Mobai, who swiftly averted his gaze but quickly came up with an excuse.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t explain correctly. Taixu Mountain Range is vast. Actually, three mountains away from Green Mountain Village, there¡¯s a lake connected to an underground river. The fish living there is the kind we¡¯re eating.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll have to show me the place when you¡¯ve time.


    ¡°Sure¡­ But I¡¯ll be busy creating the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew with Qing Nu over the next few days, so perhaps sometime after half a month.¡± As Chen Mobai spoke, he pretended to be pressed for time, shaking his head and sighing.


    ¡°Oh, I see.¡±


    When Yan Bingxuan responded, her tone didn¡¯t fluctuate, but Chen Mobai felt inexplicably guilty.


    ¡°Seriously, I¡¯m not lying. I also need a piece of Spiritual Medicine that you¡¯ll


    have to help freeze.¡±


    ¡°Oh, alright then, I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t tell if it was an illusion, but he sensed a different emotion in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s last sentence.


    Right now, Qing Nu simply wanted to say:


    [What does Alchemy have to do with you two? I alone is enough. Are you guys here just to mess things up?!]


    But considering that Chen Mobai might face difficulties, she pouted and continued eating her fish.


    Kong Feichen clenched his fists rigidly, the only thing stopping him from making a move was knowing he wouldn¡¯t win.


    After settling the bill, everyone went their separate ways.


    When Chen Mobai returned home, both his parents were watching television in the living room.


    -Son, your uncle will arrive tomorrow night. You¡¯ll go pick him up. Then invite your aunt¡¯s family so we can all have dinner together.


    ¡°Alright, mom, are you thinking of going back to Green Mountain Village anytime soon?¡±


    ¡°No, why do you ask?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai shook his head, indicating it was nothing. After all, he couldn¡¯t tell them he needed to prepare the stage to prove that the Azure Blood Carp was truly a specialty of Taixu Mountain Range.


    Let¡¯s take one step at a time. If all else fails, he could always say he had a school event and had to return early due to being busy.


    With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai went back to his room. It¡¯s strange When he returned to his hometown after Foundation Establishment, the previously annoying reporters disappeared without a trace, not even one appearing before his eyes.


    Perhaps this is what leveling up feels like.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on his bed, clutching a Spirit Stone and began Cultivating his Pure Yang Body..

 Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: Chapter 241: Winner of Life 3

    Chapter 261: Chapter 241: Winner of Life 3


    Today is the day he completes the cultivation of his Three Yang Physique.


    When midnight comes, and the Spirit Stone in his palm has dried up, Chen Mobai completes his spiritual practice. The tricoloured spiritual light within his body recedes and he opens his eyes.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 21, Fire 44, Earth 10]


    Looking at the results displayed on the Spirit-Testing Instruments, Chen Mobai cannot help but sigh.


    Finally, something worth acknowledging.


    Due to ingesting Jade Bamboo Shoots, his Wood Spiritual Root had increased yet again.


    However, after his Wood Spiritual Root reached 33 points, the Jade Bamboo Shoots had no further effect on him, seemingly reaching a bottleneck. Having lost two points in the process of attaining the Three Yang Physique, he wasn¡¯t sure if he could regain the points by consuming more shoots.


    As for the Water Spirit Root, there was no hope. The Azure Blood Carp had become ineffective a long time ago. After forming the Three Yang Physique, the value of his Water Spirit Root plummeted.


    Upon reaching the Four Yang Realm, it would fall under 20.


    However, this brought him back within the realm of True Spirit Roots, a silver lining of sorts.


    But the best news was that he could now attempt to establish the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    With his current Foundation Establishment Realm, returning to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll Qi Cultivation chapter was incredibly easy. In just half a year, he had perfected the ninth level of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    If it weren¡¯t for the completion of the Three Yang Body, he could have already broken the threshold law and started the Dual-phase Rotation.


    But it¡¯s fine as well. This was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how to achieve the Foundation Establishment directly.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went to the airport to pick up Chen Baolan, then joined up with his aunt¡¯s family. They celebrated his successful foundation establishment.


    After the family celebration, the principal of Immortal Door High School N0.5 came to visit.


    Of course, he wanted to invite the well-known alumnus, Chen Mobai, back to take some photos and request a piece of calligraphy to hang on a banner.


    Unable to delay any further, he could only go along with a bitter smile.


    With the principal¡¯s arrangements, reporters finally dared to take pictures.


    A photo of Chen Mobai gazing into the distance was added to the wall of the corridor in Immortal Door High School N0.5.


    Upon hearing the news, old classmates learned that this top student who was admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy had successfully established his foundation, and would be honored in his hometown this year. This prompted them to invite Chen Mobai to catch up.


    Reluctantly, he asked the class leader, Mo Simin, to organize a gathering.


    In the same restaurant they¡¯d celebrated graduation, Chen Mobai and his group coincidentally ran into Gong Xiangyu¡¯s group. Both were having a reunion, naturally revolving around Qing Nu, the Heavenly Spiritual Root from Jumang Dao Academy.


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence.¡±


    With his face turning from white to red, Gong Xiangyu realized he couldn¡¯t confront Chen Mobai, a true cultivator who had successfully established his foundation. But with so many classmates behind him and it being his own arrangement, he absolutely couldn¡¯t back down.


    ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t forget to come tomorrow, I¡¯ll wait for you at the old place.¡±


    Just as he was about to respond, he heard a clear voice from behind.


    Without needing to turn around, he knew it was Qing Nu¡¯s voice.


    At that moment, Gong Xiangyu realized he no longer qualified to talk with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Do you want me to help you with something tomorrow?¡±


    The one asking was Yan Bingxuan, who was next to Chen Mobai. A few days ago, he had mentioned having something for her to help with.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I guess so.¡±


    Chen Mobai seemed to agree with some reluctance.


    Everyone watching this scene could only think of one thing.


    Is this what a winner in life looks like?


    Damn, I¡¯m so envious!

 Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit

    Chapter 262: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit


    Heart_i


    This meal didn¡¯t sit well with Gong Xiangyu.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was downstairs, chatting and laughing with Lu Hongsheng and others, reminiscing about various embarrassing incidents from their high school days.


    ¡°You¡¯re really amazing, Yuanqing tried to follow your lead and proceed to Foundation Establishment, but he failed,¡± Shi Jingjing, looking at the radiant Chen Mobai, couldn¡¯t help but express her admiration.


    ¡°Oh, is he okay?¡±


    Chen Mobai had a strong impression of Shi Yuanqing. After all, he was the second-best talent in their high school year at Fifth High School, only after Chen Mobai. When he was dueling, he advanced to the ninth level of Ql cultivation, causing representatives from Daoist Academy to marvel. -He suffered a minor loss of Qi and blood. Xu Yuan rushed over to take care of him, fortunately, he didn¡¯t fall from his realm.


    Seems he failed to cultivate the Critical Technique.


    After hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a pity for Shi Yuanqing. He was admitted to Primordial Elemental Academy, so he certainly had the opportunity to learn about Critical Technique. However, this feat was extremely dependent on talent. Even within the Four Daoist Academies, there were some who couldn¡¯t comprehend it.


    ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t Cao Yaling say she was going to come with you? Why is she not here?¡±


    Chen Mobai walked around, clinked glasses with Song Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, and after realizing he couldn¡¯t find this old classmate, he asked Shi Jingjing once he returned to his seat.


    ¡°She felt she has an opportunity to break through in her Void Spirit Eye cultivation and didn¡¯t want to miss it, so she didn¡¯t come.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered.


    These two top female students of their year both practice Spirit Eye cultivation, and he was just about to refine the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew. Could this also be an opportunity to refine their cultivation skills in this aspect.


    ¡°You want to cultivate this too? Not that it¡¯s impossible, but we cultivate this primarily to inherit the Jade Stone Shop. It won¡¯t be much of a help for cultivation.¡±


    Shi Jingjing advised Chen Mobai hesitantly, after all, she didn¡¯t want her ambitious and talented old classmate to waste time on this not-so-useful technique.


    ¡°I guess I¡¯ll be able to enter the back mountain of the Dance Tool Dao Academy next year and pick out a magic artifact that suits me from the Treasure Trove.


    If I master this technique, it will definitely come in handy at that time.¡±


    ¡°Treasure Trove?¡±


    Many people were not familiar with this place.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to explain, Song Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, spoke up.


    He was admitted into Heavenly Book Academy, and he happened to have read about Treasure Trove in the school¡¯s books.


    After he finished talking, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with even more envious eyes.


    ¡°Mobai, are you going to pick a Rank-3 legal treasure since you¡¯re so incredible?¡±


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? How could a mere Rank-3 be enough?


    At least Rank-4!¡±


    ¡°When we enrolled as freshmen, I knew Mobai was extraordinary. A purple halo encased him, and he had an astonishing destiny. I think he might get an unparalleled Rank-5 Legal Treasures!¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt a headache coming.


    These guys are overexaggerating as they drink more. Among the thousand students who enter the Treasure Trove, more than 99% get only a Rank-2 Magical Artifact.


    On average, only one lucky student gets a Rank-3 artifact every twenty years. As for Rank-4, the last person who got one is the current Dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy, and that was more than six hundred years ago.


    Rank-5?


    It seems Treasure Trove didn¡¯t even have a legal artifact of this level at all! As he watched his friends grow increasingly absurd in their flattery, Chen Mobai quickly raised his glass to change the subject.


    -You should come to my place when you¡¯re free. Given your current realm, only my father can converse with you about Spirit Eye cultivation.¡± When they were wrapping up, Shi Jingjing left this message.


    Her father was a grand master of jade, antique, and magic artifact identification in Red Sandstone City, and also a foundation establishment True Cultivator.


    After thanking her, Chen Mobai also shared his wishes for Cao Yahng¡¯s breakthrough.


    The next day.


    in the elixir refining room of the Baoping Medicine Shop, Chen Mobai introduced ¡°Bimu Lingxin¡± to Yan Bingxuan.


    She didn¡¯t bring Mo Simin this time. With no idlers hanging around, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    On the side, Qing Nu was focusing on preparing the Primordial Spirit Water.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    After explaining what he wanted Yan Bingxuan¡¯s help with, she nodded, understanding what she needed to do and promised to deliver.


    ¡°Is this where you usually work?¡±


    Since it would still take some time for Qing Nu to prepare the Primordial Spirit Water, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan watched her work and chatted.


    ¡°in high school, the reason I was able to make rapid progress in my cultivation right before the college entrance exam was because of the Qi-replemshing spirit Water prepared by Qing Nu. You could say that she was my biggest help in getting into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°There are countless people who have entered the late-stage Qi cultivation in high school, but only more than two hundred people can make it into the four major Daoist Academies. What you have achieved is all due to your own efforts.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan with her serious personality, shook her head and rejected Chen Mobai¡¯s humility.


    ¡°Hahaha, if you say so, I¡¯m going to start getting proud.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With a ¡°pah¡± sound!


    The glass container Qing Nu was preparing in her hands suddenly shattered, making a crisp noise that startled Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing serious. The refining of the Primordial Spirit Water has completed, but the normal container can¡¯t withstand its sealed medicinal power, so I¡¯ll just replace it with the Sealing Spirit bottle that you bought.


    Turning around with her eyes squinted and a smile, Qing Nu captured the glass fragments in her hand and threw them into the designated trash can. Meanwhile, she used her superb spiritual power to control a lump of blue solution floating in mid-air and poured it into a square bottle that had been prepared..

 Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit

    Chapter 263: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit


    Heart 2


    ¡°That¡¯s great, let¡¯s get started.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately said happily. Then, with a spirited look, he took out the Green Wood Spirit Heart and sat in the corner of the Elixir Refining Room, starting to absorb and refine this spiritual object.


    Qing Nu took a deep breath and approached him with a bright smile.


    Yan Bingxuan also silently walked over.


    The two women each stood to one side of the young man, who was kneeling and holding Green Wood Spirit Heart, watching as strands of blue-green light, like the fuzz of willow trees, drifted into Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    They waited quietly.


    What kind of Spirit Eye do you want to cultivate, nephew?¡±


    In the biggest jade and jewellery palace in Red Sandstone City, inside the hall of Qingyu Zhai, a middle-aged man with refined facial features and a mustache chatted with Chen Mobai with a smile.


    ¡°Uncle Shi, the thing is, because I¡¯m cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, I have to stare at flames for a long time, and recently I¡¯ve noticed a decline in my eyesight.¡±


    ¡°Also, I¡¯m about to go into the Treasure Trove. There are many magic artifacts in there, and I want to choose one that suits me. To be honest, of course I hope to choose a Rank-3 item.¡±


    ¡°So I wanted to ask you, as a professional, if there is a Spirit Eye that allows me to stare at flames without strain, and can see through the reality of magic artifacts.¡±


    This middle-aged man was the father of Shi Jingjing, named Shi Qujin, and he was one of the few Rank-3 Treasure Appraisers in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Generally speaking, Spirit Eyes tend to focus on certain specific functions. For example, the Void Spirit Eye I cultivated is mainly used to perceive the spiritual energy contained within an object. If you are trying to select a magic artifact, you could cultivate it.¡±


    ¡°As for Spirit Eyes related to flames, there are indeed several. The topmost one I can think of is the ¡®Zulong Divine Eye Technique¡¯ of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.¡±


    ¡°Once cultivated, it can control the Great Sun Fire, Dark Moon Fire, and Star Fire. I don¡¯t know whether your Dance Tool Daoist Academy has this collection or not.¡±


    As expected from a professional Foundation Establishment True Cultivator specializing in cultivating Spirit Eyes, Shi Qujin promptly resolved Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion.


    ¡°Thank you, uncle. I will ask my teacher when I return to the academy. But just to be on the safe side, besides the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, are there any other options?¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai poured Shi Qujin a full cup of tea.


    Besides these two, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling were also present. The latter had reached a higher level of the Void Spirit Eye, but since she had just made a breakthrough, her eyes were radiating with spiritual light and she couldn¡¯t control it.


    Chen Mobai poured a cup for his two old classmates as well, and they both said thanks instantly.


    ¡°The Observing Stars Technique of the Astral Observation Academy, the Heavenly Phenomena Eye Technique of the Nature Studies Academy, the Fiery Eyes Technique of the Pure Yang Academy, and the Heavenly Vision Technique of the Heavenly Book Academy can also suit.¡±


    ¡°You can go to the technique library of the Immortal Sect and read the introductions of these techniques, then compare them. However, the best one is certainly the Zulong Divine Eye Technique.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, if you just want to see the flames directly, cultivating the Void Spirit Eye would be enough as long as you¡¯re not directly gazing at those high grade Heavenly Spiritual Fires.¡±


    Chen Mobai firmly recorded Shi Qujin¡¯s words in his mind.


    He had already begun refining the ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± and did not want to waste the efficacy of the Spiritual Water.


    Furthermore, he believed that he would certainly be able to gain a bargain in the Tianhe Realm in the future. Thus, it felt necessary to cultivate the Void Spirit Eye.


    As for the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, it sounded too advanced and didn¡¯t suit him, so he decided to leave it out for now.


    ¡°Thank you, uncle. This is the Spiritual Wine made in my hometown. You can try it.¡±


    Of course, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t visit empty- handed. But Shi Qujin still politely refused a couple times before reluctantly accepting his gift.


    ¡°Nephew, you should come often.¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Shi Qujin turned to his daughter and disciple and asked them.


    ¡°Does your classmate have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s had one for a while now, they¡¯ve been dating since high school.¡±


    Shi Jingjing, knowing the implications of her father¡¯s question, preemptively cut off the conversation he was about to start.


    ¡°What a pity. Why didn¡¯t any of you hold on to him?¡±


    In response to Shi Qujin¡¯s regret, Shi Jingjing grumbled about Chen Mobai¡¯s romantic past.


    ¡°He has two girlfriends! One with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and the other with an Ice Spirit Root¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not good. Polygamy is illegal in the Immortal Sect. You should persuade him more. A great future cannot be destroyed by such a mistake.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Qujin was taken aback.


    He really couldn¡¯t see that Chen Mobai was that kind of person!


    ¡°But isn¡¯t he not married yet?¡±


    Suddenly, Cao Yaling said something that rendered Shi Qujin and his daughter speechless.


    ¡°Disciple, it¡¯s better not to pursue this person.¡±


    After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°romantic history¡± from his daughter, Shi


    Qujin retracted his previous words and advised gently.


    ¡°Master, what are you thinking!¡±


    Realizing her previous remark could be easily misunderstood, Cao Yaling rushed to explain.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai got on a bus intending to go to the apartment rented by Qing Nu.


    However, he frowned as soon as he boarded the bus.


    He saw someone who shouldn¡¯t be there.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    At the back of the bus, Lan Haitian waved at Chen Mobai.


    After hesitating for a moment and considering that he was already at the Foundation Establishment stage and a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, he decided to find out what Lan was up to and walked over.


    After getting off the bus, Chen Mobai frowned again. However, he quickly put this matter out of his mind and took the elevator up to the apartment.


    Kong Feichen, who opened the door, looked at him expressionlessly..

 Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: Chapter 242 Refining the Azure Wood Spirit Heart_3

    Chapter 264: Chapter 242 Refining the Azure Wood Spirit Heart_3


    ¡°How is your sister?¡±


    Chen Mobai entered as if he was no stranger to the place.


    Ever since he refined half a heart of Bi Mu Ling, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion expanded by more than twice, along with a slight increase in his Divine Sense.


    The remaining half was frozen by Yan Bingxuan, and was conserved inside a container of Primordial Spirit Water.


    Likewise, Qing Nu mentioned something that she wanted his help with.


    Yang Jing, being forced by her foster parents to cultivate Twofold Divine Technique, developed a second personality when she was young.


    But this personality, owing to her childhood fantasies, turned into a snake, causing her to sleepwalk and wriggle uncontrollably each time she fell asleep.


    After Yang Jing¡¯s foster parents were arrested, the Law Enforcement Cultivator from Xianmen sealed her second personality. However, this Sealing Skill needs constant reinforcement and cannot be slackened.


    In order to help her, Kong Feichen cultivated this Sealing Skill.


    However, his Cultivation Level was too low. By the time Yang Jing developed Divine Sense, his Sealing Skill could no longer control it.


    Luckily at that time, Qing Nu took Gu Changfeng as her teacher. As a cultivator of Foundation Establishment, he easily generated a strong seal.


    But Gu Changfeng has been imprisoned for labor reformation for four years, and the seal he set up originally is no longer effective.


    Practicing Forbidden Technique is unacceptable to Xianmen, and Yang Jing transforming into a wriggling snake is indeed unpleasant to see. So Qing Nu and Kong Feichen do not want others to know about this.


    Originally they thought that once they succeed in Foundation Establishment, they can resolve this matter easily.


    However, Qing Nu wasted a lot of time before starting university. She has only achieved the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation even now. She could surely succeed in Foundation Establishment if she took the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, but Jumang Daoist Academy did not allow her to do this given her Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude.


    Her tutor wished Qing Nu to hear the Dao teachings to build the Foundation so that she could cast the most perfect Dao foundation naturally when water flows into the channel.


    Doing so would make the Core Formation equally smooth, combined with the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, the success would be almost guaranteed.


    So this issue fell onto Kong Feichen, however, the more anxious he got, the less successful he became.


    Qing Nu exchanged for him a jade marrow pill, Chen Mobai also swapped for the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, along with a full set of the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, but Kong Feichen still failed.


    Just as Qing Nu was about to confide in her tutor in desperation, they saw the circle post sent by Chen Mobai.


    Success in Foundation Establishment!


    Qing Nu felt that even heaven was helping her. This boy would step forward every time she needed help most.


    ¡°Why are you so slow at practicing the Sealing Skill? You call yourself a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy?¡±


    Kong Feichen and Chen Mobai arrived at the living room. Yang Jing was sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV. She raised her head to greet them when she saw them coming in.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing it this way to ensure it¡¯s foolproof. After all, she¡¯s your and Qing Nu¡¯s sister, so I have to be extra cautious. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m now fully confident. I¡¯ll reinforce her seal today.¡±


    Chen Mobai would never admit that he wasn¡¯t naturally gifted in Sealing Skill, and that was why it took him nearly ten days to learn it.


    ¡°Thank¡­ thank you.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he heard wrong, he turned to see Kong Feichen¡¯s blushing face, trying to listen again, the latter directly turned his head away.


    This guy, why had he never noticed before how awkward his personality was?


    Chuckling silently, Chen Mobai also sat down on the sofa and extended his right index finger to Yang Jing who was looking over.


    ¡°Just relax, I¡¯ll try to be as quick as possible.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡±


    Yang Jing nodded, then closed her eyes.


    Chen Mobai drew a complex pattern in the air with his index finger, then Divine Sense surged out, forming a dazzling, golden diamond seal following his finger and landed on Yang Jing¡¯s smooth forehead.


    ¡°Ding!¡±


    The seal fell, and Chen Mobai was about to withdraw his finger when all of a sudden, Yang Jing¡¯s eyes snapped open, revealing a strange smile..

 Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect l

    Chapter 265: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect l


    What?


    Just when surprise furrowed Chen Mobai¡¯s brow, a dark, long shadow, akin to a spirit snake, shot out from Yang Jing¡¯s open mouth.


    A blazing, scorching energy erupted, and a strand of purple flame rose from Chen Mobai¡¯s palm. It incinerated the dark shadow, but the invisible divine consciousness residing within it penetrated through the Purple Fire Sword Aura and infiltrated Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Divine Consciousness Forming!


    Has Yang Jing reached the foundation establishment stage?


    Chen Mobai frowned at this unanticipated development but, as this pertained to his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, he remained vigilant and decided to meditate immediately to investigate.


    Meanwhile, the extremely quiet Yang Jing was now widely gaping, her eyes sparkling with a beastly, sinister glow as she laughed chillingly and lunged at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What is going on? Is there a problem with the seal?¡±


    At this moment, Kong Feichen, who was observing this scene from the side, wanted frantically to intervene.


    ¡°Could it be, that guy was telling the truth?¡±


    While he muttered to himself, a sharp snap was heard.


    Mysterious cyan lights peeked out from under the sleeve of Chen Mobai¡¯s right arm, then suddenly shot out in the blink of an eye, turning into small, finely shattered cyan scales, constricting the hands and feet of both Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, rendering them suspended in mid-air.


    ¡°Until I figure out what the situation is, the two of you stay still for me.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai sat on the couch and closed his eyes.


    He immediately plunged his mind into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Next, he saw a Shadow Snake coiled around his split-off Divine Consciousness in the form of the Green Paulownia Seedling¡ªthe snake¡¯s two blood-red eyes flickering with unconscious chaos.


    Without saying, Chen Mobai drove his Divine Consciousness to directly crush the Shadow Snake.


    If it were about spiritual power, he still had deficiencies since he only established his foundation half a year ago and was still recovering from a pill toxicosis.


    However, his Divine Sense was his strongest fortification.


    The firm foundation laid by the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, his self-created Pain-Free Diverging Divine Consciousness, plus his recently refined Green Heart broadening his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion by more than twice its original size.


    Purely in terms of Divine Consciousness, he was already among the top cultivators at the early foundation stage. Even compared to middle-stage cultivators who only improve their Divine Consciousness through raising their cultivation levels without any specific training, he was not inferior.


    After his Divine Consciousness, transformed into the Green Paulownia Seedling, tore the Shadow Snake into shreds, Chen Mobai carefully inspected his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion one more time. After he confirmed there were no threats, he finally opened his eyes with ease.


    ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡±


    Kong Feichen, who was suspended mid-air by the Green Scale Arm Guard, was still fiercely struggling.


    He was wide-eyed, trying to call forth his Wind Spiritual Power to cut off the bonds that constrained his hands and legs. However, the power of a rank-2 Magic Artifact wasn¡¯t something he, a mere Qi Practitioner, could break free from.


    As soon as he attempted to release his spiritual power from his body, it would be immediately crushed by a magical scale, preventing him from forming his Wind Blade technique.


    On the other hand, Yang Jing, who was initially opening her mouth and squirming, slumped abruptly, fainting immediately as the Shadow Snake was shattered.


    ¡°Stay quiet.¡±


    Chen Mobai snapped his fingers, and five cyan scales flew out, adhering to Kong Feichen¡¯s lips and dropping him gently on the floor to alleviate his discomfort.


    Then, bending his finger, he made the cyan scales on the unconscious Yang Jing¡¯s limbs to light up. Guiding her with his spiritual power, she flew over and landed on the couch.


    Looking at the unconscious girl breathing evenly in her sleep, Chen Mobai reached out his fingers, touching her forehead.


    A golden diamond-shaped mark lit up, representing the seal he had just set¡ªit was successful.


    ¡°Wuu wuu wuu!¡±


    Kong Feichen was still struggling on the floor. Chen Mobai found it annoying, so with a wave of his left hand, a dozen golden needles flew out from his sleeve.


    The golden light shimmered, and the chilling needle points pressed against Kong Feichen¡¯s skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.


    He stopped moving abruptly.


    ¡°Qing Nu is refining the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, I won¡¯t call her now, to avoid distracting her.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai pulled his finger off Yang Jing¡¯s forehead, then rose to his feet and headed for the balcony.


    He took out his phone, hesitated with a frown, but finally sent a text message to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s unlike what you predicted, something unexpected indeed happened.¡±


    Beep beep beep, a message arrived immediately in reply.


    ¡°Can you explain in detail?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not very convenient right now, let¡¯s meet somewhere tonight.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s meet where we first met then, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    After they made an appointment, Chen Mobai remembered what Lan Haitian had told him on the bus.


    Yang Jing¡¯s foster parents were once part of a heretical cult. Gu Changfeng in his youth was also a follower of this cult.


    Furthermore, the fact that Qing Nu, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing, three individuals with extraordinary Spiritual Root Aptitude, were in the same orphanage is clearly suspicious.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Lan Haitian investigated the orphanage but found no irregularities.


    Standing on the balcony, Chen Mobai pondered over every bit of information. Finally he realized, the exposed problem lay with Yang Jing.


    Her foster parents had her Practice Forbidden Techniques, but it was discovered by a Law Enforcement Cultivator.


    Then Gu Changfeng appeared, took on Qing Nu as a disciple and, consequentially, put the seal on Yang Jing¡¯s second personality ¡°Snake¡±.


    Furthermore, for the years that passed, it was Gu Changfeng who reinforced Yang Jing¡¯s seal until he himself was also suspected of practicing forbidden techniques and arrested by Lan Haitian..

 Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect_2

    Chapter 266: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect_2


    Then, why did a problem arise when he tried to enforce the seal himself?


    After sifting through all the clues, Chen Mobai found himself back at square one.


    He pondered for a moment, then took out his phone, opened the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library, and started to look for this sealing spell.


    With his current rights as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, it was easy for him to find the sealing spell named ¡°Tao¡±.


    After spending 600 points to download the complete content, Chen Mobai finally discovered the problem.


    The sealing spell that Qing Nu and Kong Feichen taught him was different from the one in the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library. Although the differences were minor, a precise spell like a sealing spell could not tolerate a single mistake.


    So, he was taught the wrong sealing spell, no wonder it took him so long to grasp.


    Coming to this realization, Chen Mobai put down his phone and walked to the center of the living room.


    With a snap of his fingers, the blue scales on Kong Feichen¡¯s mouth and limbs transformed into pieces of azure light and flew back to his right sleeve, reattaching themselves to his arm guard.


    ¡°Who taught you this sealing spell?¡±


    Chen Mobai started to inquire, and due to the flying needles still being in place, Kong Feichen dared not move. He only stared at Yang Jing impassively, without uttering a word.


    With another snap of his fingers, the green-scaled chains binding Yang Jing were also retracted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just because I¡¯m not interested in you two. Plus, if it weren¡¯t for Qing Nu¡¯s referral, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to get me, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, to be here.¡±


    Even though they were both geniuses with Different Spiritual Roots, under the difference in realm, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had no room to counter.


    Now that Chen Mobai knew what the problem was, he had lost interest.


    He retracted the flying needles, edited a text message about the current situation, and sent it to Qing Nu.


    Qing Nu should have finished brewing her Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the day, and could now be called over to take control of the situation.


    Beep beep beep!


    His message had just been sent when Qing Nu immediately made a call back.


    After Chen Mobai picked up, he heard her frantic voice.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    After listening to his description, Qing Nu said only these words before hanging up the phone.


    About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open with a ¡°bang¡±. Qing Nu came in, rushed to the couch first, and checked the condition of the unconscious Yang Jing. Only after she confirmed that he was fine did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Here is the ¡®Tao¡¯ downloaded from the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library. There are six different patterns compared to the one you two taught me.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted the couch next to him, indicating to Qing Nu that she could rest for a while. Then he sent her a link about ¡°Tao¡±.


    Ignoring her wasted points, Qing Nu downloaded the spell using her own account and looked it over. She then recalled the sealing spell inside her mind and found that it did indeed deviate from what Chen Mobai had said, with a difference appearing in six patterns.


    This would indeed lead to a faulty seal. However, why hadn¡¯t there been any problems with Yang Jing before?


    ¡°Gu Changfeng was the one who sealed her before. It¡¯s possible he was using the correct seal on Yang Jing all along, but he held back when teaching you two.¡±


    Chen Mobai proposed his theory, but this brought up another question.


    Why did Gu Changfeng do this?


    ¡°The sealing spell we learned was taught to us by the Law Enforcement Cultivator who arrested Yang Jing¡¯s parents. After initially helping to seal Yang Jing¡¯s second personality, she talked about the potential impact in the future. To protect Yang Jing, we insisted on learning this seal from her. She was kind. When we took Yang Jing away, she taught us.¡±


    Now that Qing Nu was back, Kong Feichen finally spoke. He cooperatively disclosed crucial information.


    ¡°What¡¯s her name? Do you remember?¡±


    ¡°Not anymore. We only remember other people addressing her as Captain Gan.¡±


    Upon hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai noted down the surname. With Lan Haitian¡¯s influence, he should be able to access the records of those involved in arresting Yang Jing¡¯s parents.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think she has any problems. I can feel that the pity she showed Yang Jing back then was genuine.¡±


    In the middle of this, Qing Nu suddenly spoke.


    She gently touched the still frowning, unconscious Yang Jing, and her face was filled with worry.


    ¡°There is one person who would definitely know the truth.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°My master.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the resolute Qing Nu and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    ¡°It seems that he was transferred out of the Danxia City Prison in the year we entered university. We don¡¯t know where he is serving his sentence now.¡±


    ¡°I will apply to visit him as a disciple. Whether it works or not, at least I can try to get a chance to contact him by phone.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Yang Jing¡¯s second personality¡¯s influence has entered my Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace and was defeated by me. For at least the next half a year, she doesn¡¯t need to worry about this. However, it only takes me about three days to re-cultivate ¡®Tao¡¯. Once I apply the correct Ssealing Spell, as long as she doesn¡¯t succeed in Foundation Establishment, she won¡¯t be able to break through my seal within two or three years.¡±

    Chen Mobai comforted Qing Nu. At least they discovered the problem at the scene, compared to Yang Jing returning to school and having the problem arise thereafter, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.


    ¡°Thank you. I really troubled you.¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t need to talk about these things.¡±


    Hearing this, a rare smile emerged on Qing Nu¡¯s sad face.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, I should go back. I¡¯ll come back in three days..¡±

 Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect 3

    Chapter 267: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect 3


    Chen Mobai glanced at the sunset outside and excused himself.


    Qing Nu asked Kong Feichen to take care of Yang Jing, and she personally escorted Chen Mobai downstairs.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have everything under control.¡±


    After uttering these words, Chen Mobai boarded the bus.


    Evening.


    At a bus stop not far from his home, Chen Mobai checked the time and hadn¡¯t seen Lan Haitian yet.


    He frowned, then remembered that their formal conversation had taken place at the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°You¡¯re late, and I thought you were not coming.¡±


    As expected, in the backyard of the pharmacy, Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of a medicine vat, looking up at the moon, and greeted Chen Mobai descending from the sky.


    ¡°Our first meeting was at the bus stop on the road outside.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so? Maybe there¡¯s a problem with my description.¡±


    Lan Haitian said with a smile and then threw a document to Chen Mobai. The latter didn¡¯t need to open it, his Divine Sense scanned it in a flash, and he immediately handed it back after reading its content.


    [Gan Rongxia, retired four years ago, currently a housewife teaching her children at home.]


    [ After checking, there is no trace of her involvement with the Ascension Sect.]


    [However, the head of law enforcement who caused her to retire died of demonic possession a month ago. The autopsy is still ongoing, but it is essentially confirmed that he cultivated a Forbidden Technique.]


    ¡°Ascension Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai extracted the main information from the document.


    ¡°A heretical cult founded by a group from the ancient Dao lineage, the current Sect Hierarch is the hall master of the Ascension Sect. So it¡¯s called the Ascension Sect, he practices the art of the Corpse Disposal Immortal, and has undergone two reincarnations, his cultivation Realm is profound, you can view him as a very powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.¡±


    ¡°View him? With so many Nascent Soul practitioners in the celestial sect, can they not handle one tiny heretical cult?¡±


    Chen Mobai was perplexed. How dare a mere cult leader behave so recklessly in the celestial sect!


    ¡°But he needs to be within the celestial sect¡¯s territory, right? This Ascension Sect Hierarch has been refining stars and galactic energies outside the earthly realm ever since he established his sect.¡±


    Lan Haitian was also helpless. The celestial sect indeed had profound strength.


    They¡¯ve eradicated twenty-eight ancient Dao lineages in the past six thousand years.


    Nine grandmasters of the Divine Sect were killed three thousand three hundred years ago.


    A few centuries ago, just after the Real Sun Master had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, he was shattered by two ancestors of the celestial sect who had undergone Divinity Transformation.


    Now, these ancient successors have directly avoided confronting the celestial sect, and many have surrendered.


    Stubborn ones, like the Ascension Sect Hierarch, have even created a Starship and fled from the earthly realm. They have left seeds in the Divine Senses of some of their followers, ready to descend and possess them for preaching at any time.


    ¡°So, does that mean Gu Changfeng is a part of the Ascension Sect?¡±


    ¡°It is preliminary assessed to be so, and he¡¯s likely one of the core disciples within the sect. According to my observations over the past four years, a God Seed has been planted in his Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°Whose? Is it from that Ascension Sect Hierarch?¡±


    ¡°If he has cultivated the Devour God Technique, it should be from another formidable figure from the ancient grandmasters, one of the vice Hierarchs of the Ascension Sect, Shen Yu Xuan Master.¡±


    ¡°Are there many vice Hierarchs in the Ascension Sect?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve confirmed three: Shen Yu Xuan Master, Flower Bloom Courtyard


    Master, and Shrine of Life and Death Master.¡±


    ¡°Are they all outside the earthly realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words, an indescribable emotion rose in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    If it were pride, the celestial sect had intimidated these ancient grandmasters to such an extent they dared not set foot in the earthly realm, and this indeed seemed a little prideful.


    But when he thought about how there was a hidden evil force like the Ascension Sect within the tranquil celestial sect, he felt as if the many Nascent Soul practitioners and the two Qivinity Transformation ancestors of the celestial sect were somewhat negligent.


    The task of removing evils should be carried out thoroughly!

    ¡°Why are you telling me all this out of the blue?¡±


    He asked Lan Haitian again.


    ¡°What is your identity now? A disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, a rightful direct descendant of the Celestial Sect. Like me, you have the duty to suppress the ancient Dao lineages.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was dumbfounded. He pointed at himself, his face filled with confusion.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a student..¡±

 Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: Chapter 244: Repairing Heaven Group_l

    Chapter 268: Chapter 244: Repairing Heaven Group_l


    Red Sandstone City¡¯s train station.


    A woman wearing sunglasses strolled out with two teenagers in tow.


    ¡°Is this the little place?¡±


    One of the bald teenagers glanced around, his tone slightly dismissive.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the Vice Sect Hierarch hasn¡¯t descended from the sky in a long time, since he ordered us to pick someone up, we must do this matter skillfully.


    The other square-faced teenager, carrying two large luggage trunks, led the way out of the station.


    ¡°Be discreet, there are Law Enforcement Cultivators patrolling at the entrance.¡± The woman with the sunglasses used a secret telepathic technique to relay her observations to her two companions.


    The previously nonchalant boys quickly sobered up, playing the part of law-abiding citizens schlepping their own baggage, they checked their tickets and exited through the gateway.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t we fly?¡±


    After exiting the train station, the bald boy seemed puzzled. Although the fare on the train was not bad for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it seemed a bit time-consuming.


    ¡°Each airplane is covered with Rank-3 prohibitions, once our identities are exposed, we won¡¯t even be able to escape. But trains are different, they¡¯re only shrouded by Rank-2 formations. If the three of us all go all out, we could blow a hole and run.¡±


    The lady with the sunglasses explained. Although all three of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had all practiced ancient secret techniques.


    Even though they could hide their energy without leaving any leak, it was always better to be safe than sorry. Several individuals who cultivated forbidden techniques have been exposed every year.


    in the face of the relentless pursuit from the ¡°Heaven Mending Group¡± of the immortal sects, the first thing they had to consider before each operation was their escape route.


    ¡°Remarkably, this small city has two Gold Core experts settled here.¡± The square-faced boy pulled out his phone and checked out the upper echelons of Red Sandstone City, seeing True Man Chi Robe and True Man Shi Qing, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    You see, among the seventy-two blessed places of the immortal sects, some even lacked Core Formation experts.


    -It does seem a bit extravagant. However, The Sect Hierarch Shen Yu said that we don¡¯t need to worry about these two Gold Core experts, we just need to fetch the target person.¡±


    The sunglasses woman slowly buffered the target¡¯s picture that had just been sent on her cellphone, and after she took a look at it, she let her two companions also take a glimpse, then she quickly deleted the photo.


    ¡°Remember it, let¡¯s act separately now. I¡¯ll go to connect with the underground network in the city and check out the target¡¯s whereabouts.¡±


    The bald-headed boy nodded after hearing her words, then called his pre-scheduled supplier to confirm that everything he needed was ready.


    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll go collect the weapons.¡±


    Only the square-faced teenager was left, he seemed to be searching for something on his phone, and finally found a tourist attraction he wanted to visit.


    -There¡¯s a zoo outside the city. I¡¯m going to kill some time there. Call me when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Hearing this, the woman with sunglasses frowned but, considering his Dao sect, had no choice but to nod.


    ¡°Keep a low profile, don¡¯t draw attention. The main purpose of this mission is


    to train you.¡±


    The square-faced boy¡¯s name was Tuoba Wanyi. Despite his young age, he¡¯s already at the third stage of Foundation Establishment-a figure the Ascension sect is diligently cultivating from amongst its Dao sects.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If there¡¯s no one from the latter stages of Foundation Establishment in this Red Sandstone City, and those two Gold Core experts aren¡¯t going to act, then I¡¯m invincible.¡±


    Even though he¡¯s only at the third stage of Foundation Establishment, Tuoba Wanyi was very confident in his abilities.


    He had previously escaped after a face-to-face fight with a vice-captain of the Heaven Mending Group-who was a sixth-stage Foundation Establishment expert, superior to him by three realms.


    ¡°Never disclose the Ascendance!¡±


    After the three of them said that, they went their separate ways.


    Chen Mobai retracted his finger from Yang ling¡¯s forehead.


    A golden light, strand by strand, opened up to finally form an equilateral rhombus mark, carved into the sea of her consciousness.


    ¡°Done. As long as her Divine Sense realm doesn¡¯t exceed mine, this seal can ensure that she becomes a normal person.¡±


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Chen Mobai, with his dedicated focus, easily learned ¡°Tao,¡± fulfilling the promise he¡¯d made to Qing Nu.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    On the side, Kong Feichen, having witnessed this, also gratefully thanked him. ¡°But, I feel like I might reach Foundation Establishment next year. Since I cultivated Twofold Divine Technique, my Divine Sense grows twice as much every time I progress a realm.¡±


    At this time, Yang Jing, who was sitting on the couch, raised a question.


    ¡°Huh, how can you be so certain that you can reach Foundation Establishment next year?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. He had strived for three years in the Divine Wood Sect just to reach Foundation Establishment, plus his cultivation techniques and resources from the immortal sect. It was only through the combination of both forces that he was able to reach Foundation Establishment at such a young age.


    Even Hing Nu, who had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, didn¡¯t dare to claim she would reach Foundation Establishment next year.


    ¡°Actually, I could have reached Foundation Establishment this year, but I intentionally broke the process of Enlightenment.¡±


    Yang Jing said something that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    Are you even human?


    ¡°Keep suppressing it for now. If you really can¡¯t hold back, I¡¯ll concoct a pill for you to suppress your realm.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°After all, we have ten years in university. Once either of us advances to the second level of Foundation Establishment, you can proceed.¡±


    ¡°We always need to ensure that the realm of one of us is higher than yours.


    This way, we can suppress your second personality.¡±


    Big Sister Qing Nu made the decision, and Yang Jing obediently nodded.


    On the side, Kong Feichen opened his mouth, wanting to say this might be a bit too much..

 Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group_2

    Chapter 269: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group_2


    He thought about how both he and Yang Jing belonged to different spiritual roots. The latter had already realized the path, and while he himself had consumed so many foundation establishment spiritual objects, he still faild to establish his foundation. He couldn¡¯t help but feel despondent and could speak no more.


    ¡°Will your doubled divine sense strength benefit my Divine Manipulation Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed something else and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes, it will be useful. Both the ¡®Divine Manipulation Technique¡¯ and ¡®Twofold Divine Technique¡¯ are modified versions of the ¡®Devour God Technique¡¯.¡± ¡°However, the ¡®Twofold Divine Technique¡¯ was modified in the wrong direction and was classified as a forbidden technique.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the ¡®Divine Manipulation Technique¡¯ is a successful modification. As long as one does not exceed the limit of one¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, every time one has a realm breakthrough, the strength of one¡¯s divine sense can be doubled.¡±


    Yang Jing nodded and cleared up Chen Mobai¡¯s doubts. The latter¡¯s eyes brightened and he immediately sat down to listen attentively.


    However, after listening, he looked somewhat troubled again.


    In the Immortal Sect, the Foundation Establishment stage is divided into nine levels. This means that from the first to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, there would be a total of eight realm breakthroughs, during which the strength of divine sense could be enhanced sixteen times.


    Yet, the issue was that Chen Mobai is currently using the Longevity Sutra to increase his foundation establishment progress.


    This cultivation technique from the Tianhe Realm only has early, middle, and late stages ¨C at most there would be two breakthroughs.


    Although reaching the perfection of foundation establishment is considered a realm, it is actually the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    The part of the Longevity Sutra that relates to reaching the perfection of foundation establishment mostly discusses core formation.


    It seems that he could only think of ways through the Two-Phase Gong and Critical Laws.


    After all, it was too much to expect Chen Mobai to create a technique for the Longevity Sutra for Foundation Establishment stages from the first to ninth levels.


    Although the Void Puppet has the feature of deducing techniques, it can only evolve the technique to be the most suitable for one¡¯s own spiritual-root constitution and can¡¯t create techniques on its own.


    At least it would require an upper level of Core Formation to do so.


    Fortunately, he still has the Pure Yang Scroll as a backup.


    This is a supreme technique that has been revised by the founders of the Immortal Sect. It ranges from the nine levels of Foundation Establishment, the nine levels of the Gold Core stage, to the nine levels of the Nascent Soul stage.


    If he progresses step by step, his divine sense may incredibly reach an unprecedented powerful realm.


    ¡°Remember, your divine sense must not exceed the limit which the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion can tolerate, otherwise, your head will explode and you will die.¡±


    Seeing his strange expression, Yang Jing emphasized again to keep him from going astray.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my purple palace is very empty right now.¡±


    Qing Nu did not tell her younger siblings about the matter of the Green Wood Spirit Heart, therefore, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing wore strange expressions.


    ¡°The Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is almost ready, I also need some spiritual extract.¡±


    Qing Nu changed the subject, and Chen Mobai immediately understood, promptly offering to get it from home.


    After ordering Kong Feichen to take good care of Yang Jing, the two of them left and walked towards the Elixir Refining Room of the Treasure Bottle Medicine Shop.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Not at all, I should be the one thanking you. If it wasn¡¯t for you, Yang Jing would definitely have to suffer a lot more.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, skillfully crushing the dried spirit stones, and after measuring out the required dosage, poured it into the medicine pool.


    ¡°Oh right, have you ever heard of the Repair Heaven Group?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question, and Qing Nu frowned and nodded.


    ¡°This is a special power agency under the Dharma Temple. They recruit people from the four major Daoist academies every year. My alchemy skills are pretty good, so I also received an invitation from the fours groups last year, but my tutor helped me reject it. Why, have you also received an invitation?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. Three days ago Lan Haitian invited him to join the sixth group of the Repair Heaven Group.


    He explained the benefits; a year¡¯s work in the group is equivalent to ten years for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. They also receive a full set of Rank-2 magic artifacts, have the right to command law enforcement departments in blessed lands and cave heavens in special circumstances, and even mentioned the annual spirit stone allocation from the Immortal Sect.


    About spirit stones, Chen Mobai sneered inwardly.


    But Lan Haitian also said that the Repair Heaven Group can allocate all resources from the Immortal Sect, such as the sacred medicine for aiding the core formation, ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±.


    As long as one serves the Repair Heaven Group for sixty years, one can directly receive it.


    This was very tempting to Chen Mobai. Even the Dance Tool Dao Academy could not gather the six hundred and sixty-six types of spirit grasses necessary to brew a batch of ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±. Only the Immortal Sect could afford to do that.


    Lan Haitian stated that his sole reason for being in the Repair Heaven Group was for a ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±.


    Now that he was close to serving sixty years, he was looking for a successor. He felt that Chen Mobai was a very good fit, especially seeing his talent for magic duels four years ago during the admission test in the city of Danxia.


    Over the years, as the representative of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Lan Haitian had watched three admission tests and watched several impressive magic duel videos online. However, everyone seemed immature to him.


    They were not as good as Chen Mobai!


    With generous salary and benefits, plus the promise of a future leadership position and the sacred pill ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡± for core formation, Chen Mobai almost accepted on the spot.


    Luckily, he asked a couple more questions in the end.


    ¡°What does the Repair Heaven Group do?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Well, you must¡¯ve seen the Jinyiwei, Liufanmen, and Dongchang on TV. The functions are basically the same.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately sobered up.


    ¡°Does it involve fighting?¡±


    ¡°Occasionally. The security of the Immortal Sect has improved a lot in recent twenty years. The last time I had to act was in Huayang Cave Heaven two years ago.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll pass. I¡¯m not good at fighting, let alone fighting against the cultists..¡±

 Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group s

    Chapter 270: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group s


    ¡°Suppressing the heretical cult, it is our duty. Even if it¡¯s not for ourselves, we should protect everyone in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    However, as soon as Chen Mobai heard about the fight, he immediately shook his head and refused.


    He held the Tianhe Realm, and now he had another Divine Wood Realm, he was not short of resources, and there was no need to risk fighting with the cultists.


    Although he coveted the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, Chen Mobai had just begun his Foundation Establishment stage. It would be at least decades before he could reach the Core Formation stage. He would think about it then.


    What if his business in the Tianhe Realm became bigger and stronger by then?


    Maybe, he could collect enough Spirit Grass to make a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.


    [Qing Nu, you need to learn Alchemy well.]


    If he were successful in collecting them, Qing Nu would have to be the one refining them. Seeing her busy figure by the medicine pool, he couldn¡¯t help but bewail in his heart.


    ¡°Why are you looking at me? You haven¡¯t answered my question. Which team from the Restoration team invited you?¡±


    ¡°Team Six.¡±


    ¡°Ah, it turns out to be Hell Team Six that kills without blinking, and is always fighting at the most dangerous places.¡±


    Seeing Qing Nu suddenly covering her mouth in surprise, Chen Mobai felt that Lan Haitian was really something. This guy never mentioned that Team Six¡¯s reputation was that bad.


    [As expected, I was right not to join. Stay away from danger and develop secretly.]


    As Chen Mobai thought so, Qing Nu had just completed the extraction of the first bottle of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    In two plastic bottles the size of fingers, filled with clear Spiritual Water, the bottle mouth was shaped like a pen tube, with a round opening. Just twist the cap, aim at the eye, and it will drop the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    He tried it on the spot.


    Chen Mobai felt the cool liquid drip into his eyes. His eyes that had been sore from staring at the flames for a long time suddenly felt refreshing and cool, like a dry land that had been parched for a long time and had finally met a sweet dew.


    The small Green Paulownia seedling grew a green bud in an instant, and the larger one, from which the top flowers and fruits had initially been plucked, seemed to be growing back.


    The second-order Spiritual Water indeed was different.


    Chen Mobai once again activated the ¡°Void Spirit Eye¡± he had exchanged from the Immortal Gate spell library.


    The remaining potency of the ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± was fully absorbed by his eyes, and his eyes even sent him a signal of hunger.


    It wasn¡¯t until he had dripped six drops that he felt a feeling of saturation in his eyes and stopped.


    ¡°How does it feel?¡±


    Qing Nu asked. Chen Mobai lowered his head and looked at her, then quickly shifted his gaze away with embarrassment.


    ¡°Huh¡­¡±


    Qing Nu was a little confused at first, but then she saw the extra layer of Spiritual Light in his eyes and thinking about Chen Mobai saying that he wanted to cultivate a Spirit Eye, she couldn¡¯t help but think of something.


    She spat and immediately performed a shielding technique.


    ¡°Well, I just practiced it, I haven¡¯t controlled the power well, it won¡¯t happen next time.¡±


    Chen Mobai swore. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he turned his head away immediately. He didn¡¯t see anything.


    He was a gentleman.


    ¡°There are probably about twenty more bottles that can be extracted from the pool. If you don¡¯t use it to improve your Divine Sense and justuse it to cultivate your Spirit Eye, it should be enough for you to use for a year.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, but she deliberately changed the topic.


    Chen Mobai took a sneak peek at her shoulder, he didn¡¯t have to force himself to look through her shielding technique unless he forced himself.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been able to control it yet, but it will be fine in a couple of days.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to his eyes that were still radiating Spiritual Light, and nodded in thanks.


    Drip, drip, drip.


    At this time, Kong Feichen sent a message.


    He and Yang Jing had finished cooking and they were ready to eat.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    To reward Chen Mobai for his hard work in sealing, they said they would cook a meal for him personally. Chen Mobai was also very much looking forward to it.


    ¡°Buy a pair of glasses before going back.¡±


    Qing Nu pointed to Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes which were still emitting Spiritual Light and said.


    ¡°I remember there is a glasses store here.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed behind Qing Nu without looking sideways, because he could not see things casually now because his eyes could see too much.


    ¡°Found it.¡±


    When the words of Qing Nu came, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to follow in, a bald teenager with a bag on his back cut in between the two of them.

    The bald teenager didn¡¯t care. After all, there was a three- or four-person gap between Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    He was in a hurry to cross the road and went straight through between them.


    But because of this, Chen Mobai saw that in his bag, there was a Gun Magical Weapon that the Immortal Door had banned.


    Chen Mobai casually walked into the glasses shop with Qing Nu and while she enthusiastically helped him choose glasses, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lan Haitian.


    Such a dangerous thing should be left to the professionals to solve..

 Chapter 271 - Chapter 271: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body 1

    Chapter 271: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body 1


    [Received]


    Chen Mobai saw the two-word reply from Lan Haitian and felt slightly relieved.


    This guy claimed to be the cultivator closest to Core Formation within the Daoist realm. He was also a top disciple of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and the leader of some Heaven Repairing Hell Group Six. He should have no problem dealing with a small terrorist, right?


    ¡°Why are you daydreaming? Try these glasses and see how they fit.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s voice came over, and Chen Mobai saw a pair of gold-rimmed thin-framed glasses in her hand. They looked like the type worn by successful people.


    Your taste is really good, sir. These glasses were designed using the latest research from the Heavenly Eye Academy. The frame is made of Spiritual Titanium Alloy, and the lenses are synthesized from the latest Spirit Detecting Glass. After wearing them, you can see traces of Spiritual Energy flow and directly measure Spiritual Energy Values.¡±


    In order to make the best sales in the world of cultivation, everything had to be associated with the cultivation of spiritual energy, and the common commodity of glasses was no exception.


    Ordinary glasses could only be used as glasses, but once they became Magic Artifacts, they came with a variety of gimmicks.


    However, not many people would buy them.


    As expected, upon hearing these fancy features, Qing Nu figured they must be expensive and quickly turned them down, opting instead for a pair with no special features, only used for blocking spiritual light.


    But Chen Mobai was stirred ¨C in the world of cultivation, since all spiritual energy was centrally managed, not many people cared about glasses that could observe spiritual energy. But it was different in the Tianhe Realm.


    He could buy a pair.


    The Void Spirit Eye could see things in a small range. If he were to use it to examine the entire sixty acres of the Spirit Field, he would probably exhaust himself to death.


    However, the pair Qing Nu had chosen wouldn¡¯t do ¨C the design was too showy. Even after Qing Nu picked out a silver, semicircular pair, Chen Mobai still shook his head.


    In the end, he chose a pair of black-framed glasses that Qing Nu found extremely unflattering.


    Too ugly.


    Seeing that Qing Nu was somewhat upset, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but buy the two pairs she had liked as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s too wasteful, one pair is enough.¡±


    However, he had just bought three pairs of glasses, and Qing Nu instead reminded him to spend wisely.


    ¡°Next year, I want to delve into the cultivation of Rank-2 Spirit Rice in Agricultural Studies. I need to see the distribution of spiritual energy within the Spirit Field. These glasses will come in handy.¡±


    This was the truth. The sixty acres of Spirit Field beneath Xiao Nanshan, after being painstakingly tilled by Zhuo Ming and a group of laborers under his instruction, had been arranged according to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, completing the process of cultivating the soil for the coming year.


    But since the field had been neglected for a long time, it had only recovered to a lower-grade Rank-2 level. It needed to go through several cultivation cycles, along with fertilization and maintenance, before it could potentially reach Rank-3.


    Alright then, nothing will happen after you put them on, right?¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t explicitly ask, but Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that the custom black-framed glasses, had successfully blocked his uncontrollable Void Spirit Eye.


    After paying fifty thousand Good Deed Points, the two of them left the glasses store.


    The gold-nmmed glasses that could measure Spiritual Energy Value were the most expensive, equivalent to a middle-grade Rank-1 Magic Artifact.


    Rumble!


    Just as the two were about to take the bus, they suddenly heard a deep thunderous sound.


    ¡°Is it going to rain?¡±


    Looking up at the clear sky, Qing Nu pouted, remarking how fickle the weather was.


    It might just be a thunder strike, not necessarily rain.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly took off his black-framed glasses and put on the gold-nmmed glasses, looking in the direction of the thunderous sound.


    He could see the spiritual energy in the air crazily gathering there.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the bus is here.¡±


    Qing Nu turned her head and called out to Chen Mobai. Seeing him wearing the pair of glasses she had chosen, she couldn¡¯t help but smile sweetly.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no interest in joining the commotion. He followed Qing Nu onto the bus and left the area.


    Bang!


    Lan Haitian clenched his right fist and slammed the bald youth, who was trying to assault the barrier, heavily into the ground.


    But he immediately withdrew his fist, looking at the red mark on it with a frown, and gently shook it to ease the lingering ache.


    ¡°Golden Stone Nunnery¡¯s Indestructible Concrete Body, are you immobile, or restless?¡±


    Before Lan Haitian could finish speaking, the bald youth he had slammed into the ground suddenly bounced up, and the floating rocks in the sky condensed into a two-meter crisp concrete fist in his palm, swinging hard.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡±


    Lan Haitian looked at the bald youth who dared to attack him, frowned and opened his right hand. His fair and slender fingers lightly pressed down, and the overwhelming Yuan Magnetic Force erupted.


    Boom!


    The huge stone fist swung by the bald youth disintegrated the moment it met


    Lan Haitian¡¯s fingers.


    Immediately after, Lan Haitian¡¯s fair fingers turned from claws to palm, and lightly patted the chest of the bald youth.


    Black streams of energy appeared, spreading over the youth¡¯s body like tattoos, trying to resist Lan Haitian¡¯s palm thrust.

    ¡°Your Indestructible Concrete Body training is not bad, it¡¯s just a pity about the difference in realms.¡±


    Lan Haitian looked at the youth, whose veins stood up on his forehead, his skin was flushed red, and his meridians looked like thick black earthworms, suddenly transformed into a two-meter giant man. Lan Haitian withdrew his fingers and clenched his fist.


    The sound ¡°clang¡± rang out as if a bronze bell was struck.


    The giant man¡¯s Indestructible Golden Body was broken, like a cannonball rebounding from Lan Haitian. After drawing a red, broken trail on the ground, the man spat blood up into the sky.


    ¡°You¡­ Butcher, why¡­ are¡­ you¡­ here?¡±

 Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body_2

    Chapter 272: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body_2


    He struggled to stand up, but he felt his strength waning along with the blood loss. His originally expanded body slowly shrunk, becoming extremely hunched and thin.


    ¡°Hmm, how should I explain it to you? It¡¯s simply a coincidence, right?¡±


    Lan Haitian stroked his chin, gradually approaching the unmoved one while simultaneously the hazy sky with his footsteps began to shrink, gradually enclosing the two of them.


    ¡°As expected, there are¡­ traitors within¡­the ranks¡­¡±


    Seeing the Yuan Magnet Domain starting to shrink, the unmoved one knew he could no longer escape today. He attempted to rotate his Immortal Body, only to find that in just three moves earlier, Lan Haitian had already shattered every bone and meridian in his body.


    This injury, basically had rendered him useless.


    He only felt that his luck was extremely bad. He had already reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, trained an Immortal Body, within the vast Immortal Gate, there were a few True Cultivators who could render him absolutely defenseless.


    But the person in front of him, is just one of those few.


    ¡°Tell me why you are here, and I will spare your life.¡±


    Lan Haitian arrived in front of the unmoved man and looked directly into his eyes which were bloody due to the rupture of his Immortal Body.


    ¡°Cough cough cough¡­ I won¡¯t be a traitor¡­¡±


    The unmoved man was also quite tough, immediately closing his eyes.


    ¡°Tsk, what a pity, you prefer to suffer.¡±


    Sighing, Lan Haitian reached out his finger and touched the unmoved man¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea, directly crippling his cultivation level.


    Beep beep beep!


    After finishing his job, Lan Haitian called the leader of the third group responsible for extracting memories from the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    ¡°I understand, I¡¯ll send someone over to receive him right away.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Lan Haitian looked down at the unconscious unmoved man and suddenly became curious.


    ¡°Could it be possible, that behind Gu Changfeng¡¯s line, there¡¯s a big catch.¡±


    As he was thinking this way and preparing to search the body for potential leads, sudden warnings erupted in his Divine Sense.


    Yuan Magnetic Force exploded and the unmoved man was abruptly lifted into the air. Six pitch-black dark gold grenades then appeared before his eyes.


    This bastard!


    Lan Haitian cursed angrily, activating the Six Control Sutra with all his might.


    Boom boom boom!


    Chen Mobai, who was dining with Qing Nu and the other two, felt a sudden minor earthquake. He put down his chopsticks and looked in the direction where the spiritual energy was continuously gathering.


    Is this guy capable or not!


    Just when he was contemplating whether or not to call and ask, a text message came in.


    [It¡¯s done]


    It was sent by Lan Haitian, succinct and to the point.


    He really is quite capable.


    Chen Mobai saw the reply and couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    It must be said, the cooking skills of Yang Jing and Kong Feichen were quite good, he had eaten very well.


    According to Qing Nu, when they were in the welfare house, the three of them would secretly sneak into the kitchen and practice their culinary skills.


    ¡°By the way, I found two alchemy formulas in an ancient book in the Dance Tool Dao Academy Library, I don¡¯t know if we can improve them, what do you think?¡±


    After eating, Chen Mobai sat with Qing Nu on the sofa while Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were cleaning up the dishes.


    ¡°Hundred Herb Elixir, Restoring God Soup?¡±


    Qing Nu looked at the two formulas that Chen Mobai had sent over very seriously.


    ¡°The formula is fine, but the materials are a bit wasted, these seven herbs can be replaced by¡­¡±


    These two formulas from the Classic of Materia Medica, Chen Mobai planned to prepare them for his disciples.


    Liu Wenbo has his family¡¯s support, hence it¡¯s almost certain that he would be recognized as a true disciple once the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature. But it¡¯s a bit harder for Zhuo Ming, as she herself had her eyes set on the next but one batch.


    But Chen Mobai feels that since he took her as a disciple and made her change her cultivation technique, which will delay her cultivation progress as she would be administering the sixty acres of Spirit Field at Xiao Nanshan in the future, hence it¡¯s necessary to compensate her.


    He didn¡¯t want to get the Immortal Gate¡¯s elixirs over to the Tianhe Realm. Moreover, even if they did have elixirs, they only dared to eat the ones they recognized the branding, so even if a new elixir or spirit water was suddenly produced and claimed as unique, no one would dare try.


    This is because every alchemist would claim that the elixir they concocted is unique.


    So, Chen Mobai thought to incorporate the techniques from the Immortal Gate side to improve the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, and then train another alchemist in the Tianhe Realm.


    This was to lay the foundation for him collecting elixirs for his Jade Return Pill from spirit grasses and spiritual medicine in the future.


    After all, if he himself didn¡¯t practice alchemy but occasionally bought spirit grass for cultivation, it would easily raise suspicions with time.


    However, Zhuo Ming had already taken over the responsibility of his farming, wouldn¡¯t it be a bit too much to also assign her the task of alchemy?


    As Chen Mobai was thinking of this, Zhuo Ming who was at the Tianhe Realm selecting rice varieties, suddenly sneezed out of nowhere.


    She unconcernedly wiped her nose and continued to pick out the good rice grains for planting, and began to water the nursery.


    ¡°The unmoved one is dead.¡±


    The woman in sunglasses and Tuoba Wanyi met in a closed stairwell in the mall, their faces grave.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a word that Red Robed Man and Shi Qing will not make a move?¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi frowned, he knew the unmoved man¡¯s capability. In Red Sandstone City, aside from the two Gold Core True Men, no one could kill this high-ranking disciple of the Gold Stone Nunnery.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t them.¡±


    ¡°Then who? The Sky Patch Group?¡±


    ¡°The covert operation has not yet obtained information, but since the unmoved one is dead, our mission might have been exposed..¡±

    Chapter 273: Chapter 245 ¨C Indestructible Concrete


    Body_3


    After the woman in sunglasses finished speaking, she ignited a talisman.


    This was the only Descending God Talisman she had to contact the Divine Manipulation Hierarch. Although she felt it was a bit of a waste, she decided to use it for caution¡¯s sake.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    A silver flame rose after the talisman was completely burned, transforming into a silver fire ring two meters in size, resembling a round mirror, revealing a vague figure holding a seven-color treasure tree.


    ¡°Greetings to the Divine Manipulation Hierarch¡­¡±


    After the woman in the sunglasses finished explaining the situation, the Divine Manipulation Hierarch let out a sound of acknowledgment.


    ¡°Please guide us on how to proceed next, Divine Manipulation Hierarch!¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi stealthily glanced at this Vice Sect Hierarch of the renowned Ascension Sect, known as the Divine Manipulation Hierarch who is said to have devoured a god.


    ¡°I have a hidden card, which I originally didn¡¯t plan to use.¡±


    The Divine Manipulation Hierarch spun around as he spoke, stretching forth a finger which passed through the silver fire ring and landed on the eyebrow of the woman in sunglasses, lightly tapping it.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    After leaving his last words, a gentle breeze blew by, and the silver sparks swiftly extinguished, as beautiful and brilliant as fireworks.


    ¡°Thank you, Divine Manipulation Hierarch.¡±


    The woman in sunglasses raised her head, and a silver flame mark was now apparent between her snowy white brows.


    Tuoba Wanyi could feel that the already powerful woman seemed to have exceeded the limits, reaching a terrifying realm that he couldn¡¯t comprehend.


    ¡°What did you receive?¡±


    He could not help but ask.


    ¡°A formidable power, with this mark, I can have unrivaled strength below the Gold Core, as long as I don¡¯t come across the strongest Foundation Establishment power like Lan Haitian from the Immortal Sect, I have confidence that I can emerge victorious.¡±


    The stunning face of the woman in sunglasses radiated an unprecedented aura of confidence. Tuoba Wanyi¡¯s face showed a hint of envy, but he consoled himself that such strength was illusory and unstable at its roots.


    ¡°We¡¯ve identified the person, let¡¯s finish this quickly.¡±


    Having said that, the two of them disappeared on the spot.


    At night, Evergreen Pharmacy.


    As soon as Chen Mobai flew in, he saw that Lan Haitian was already waiting.


    ¡°What¡¯s the origin of that terrorist?¡±


    ¡°A follower from the Ascension Sect, a descendant from the ancient path of Gold Stone Nunnery, their dharma name is ¡®Immovable.¡¯


    ¡°Is he powerful?¡±


    ¡°At the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he has also trained the Indestructible Concrete Body, previously matched the vice-captain of the seventh team for three hundred moves without winning or losing.¡±


    ¡°Why would such a shocking character come to Red Sandstone City?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Lan Haitian¡¯s forehead furrowed. All his emphasis on the strength of Immovable was to showcase his own power in defeating the opponent in just three moves.


    But Chen Mobai did not finish his question, which left Lan Haitian feeling a bit choked.


    ¡°I originally wanted to extract information from his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but he self-destructed using six Geng Metal Hand Grenades.¡±


    ¡°But I traced his journey, there were three people in total that exited the train station.¡±


    ¡°I have identified the locations of the other two as well. Tonight, I will deal with all of them.¡±


    When Lan Haitian mentioned this, his tone was relaxed, as if it was as simple as going for a meal.


    ¡°Well, thanks for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not take the bait, leaving only those words behind before flying away.


    ¡°Wait, don¡¯t you want to see the dark world hidden within the Immortal Sect?¡±


    ¡°With me taking action, your safety is assured.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Not everyone has this opportunity.¡±


    As soon as Lan Haitian finished speaking, Chen Mobai was already out of sight.


    When he arrived home, he chatted with Yan Bingxuan for a while, then he started cultivating the Four Yang Body with a Spirit Stone in one hand, and in the other hand, he released the Qingyang Fire Seed, using the Pure Qing Technique to enhance the power of the fire seed.


    The skill of multitasking was taught to him by the Admiring Landscape Sect, this perfectly matched his current level of Divine Manipulation Technique ¨C Dividing Mind into Thoughts, and he picked it up immediately.


    With his unwavering Dao heart, Chen Mobai was entirely unswayed by any temptations. He stayed true to his heart and continued improving his strength in his own way..

 Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: Chapter 246: One Sword_l

    Chapter 274: Chapter 246: One Sword_l


    Lan Haitian stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking down at the murky sunglasses woman and Tuoba Wanyi walking along the streets below, an inexplicable smile playing on his face.


    ¡°Are those two the ones?¡± he asked.


    He turned and posed the question to a middle-aged man who was bound by


    Yuan Magnetic Force and collapsed on the roofs concrete.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, she was the one who contacted me.


    The middle-aged man was the leader of Ascension Sect in Red Sandstone City.


    He had located the target as requested by the woman in sunglasses.


    However, he had no idea that he would be captured by Lan Haitian that very night.


    His job was gathering intelligence, not combat. Just thinking about Lan Haitian¡¯s fearsome reputation terrified him enough to confess everything.


    ¡°Hmm, I didn¡¯t expect it to be her.¡±


    Lan Haitian looked down at the woman wearing dark sunglasses who was slowly walking towards the apartment building in the early morning, and could not help but express his amazement.


    ¡°Group Leader Lan, is it too late for me to abandon the dark and embrace the light?¡±


    The middle-aged man, pinned to the rooftop by the Yuan Magnetic Force, cautiously posed the question.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m very merciful. Basically, as long as you don¡¯t resist, I¡¯ll spare my opponents¡¯ lives,¡± said Lan Haitian with a smile. Yet this only frightened the middle-aged man more, as he trembled with sweat soaking his clothes.


    ¡°Group Leader Lan, please spare me!¡±


    Bang!


    Finding the man too annoying, Lan Haitian knocked him out.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Downstairs, the woman in sunglasses seemed to hear something and looked up


    at the sky.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing, just suddenly feeling a little oppressed.¡±


    She clutched her chest, following Tuoba Wanyi into the elevator.


    Soon after, Qing Nu¡¯s screams and Kong Feichen¡¯s furious shouts could be heard.


    But under the suppression of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, even if they were geniuses, they had no chance of breaking free.


    ¡°Good, it¡¯s confirmed it¡¯s a Dark Spirit Root.


    The woman in sunglasses held Yang Jing down, drew a drop of blood from her fingertip for testing, and gave a satisfied nod.


    ¡°What about these two? Shall we kill them?


    Tuoba Wanyi¡¯s right hand shot out white spider-silk, bundling Qing Nu and Kong Feichen into two white cocoons, hanging upside down from the ceiling. -We aren¡¯t the crazy ones from the Heretical Cult. We don¡¯t need to cut off new disciples¡¯ worldly ties.¡±


    Shaking her head, the woman in sunglasses made her way to the door.


    Despite Yang Jing¡¯s struggles, it was as if she had been picked up by an invisible person. The woman in sunglasses reached out a finger and touched Yang Jing s slender, white throat, causing her to fall unconscious.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Set up your spider silk to bind them for three days.¡±


    Three days would be enough time for them to escape the territory of the sect with Yang Jing in tow.


    ¡°This is a nuisance.¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi clicked his tongue.


    Even so, he flicked his palm and two balls of spider silk shot out, cocooning


    Qing Nu and Kong Feichen, whose heads were previously visible.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to make a move?¡±


    A slightly magnetic female voice sounded next to Lan Haitian ¨C as if an invisible figure was standing there.


    ¡°I was originally planning to, but my Dao-heart is giving me a warning.¡¯ ¡°Oh, is there a Core Formation Cultist from the Heretical Sect lurking in the shadows?¡±


    ¡°Whether there is or not, a little probing will reveal the truth.¡±


    Lan Haitian watched the woman in sunglasses and Tuoba Wanyi leaving the lobby on the first floor with Yang Jing in tow. A mysterious smile graced his features.


    -The same old rules. I¡¯ll handle the weaker one, and you take care of the


    stronger one.¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t make a move this time.¡±


    Lan Haitian said something that bewildered the hidden figure.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡ö¡öI just feel that the duo from the Ascension Sect picked an excellent target,¡± Lan Haitian replied, taking off a button from his sleeve as he smiled.


    He jumped down from the rooftop, abruptly dropping over thirty meters. He hovered outside the window of Qing Nu¡¯s apartment, flinging the button. The spider silk that was originally supposed to bind Qing Nu and Kong Feichen for three days suddenly dimmed.


    ¡ö¡öWhat¡¯s the purpose of doing this?¡± asked the female voice.


    Lan Haitian laughed and replied with a phrase that confused her further,


    ¡°It can make someone who doesn¡¯t want to act, act.


    Beep,beep,beep!


    In the dead of night, Chen Mobai was cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist body and Qingyang Fire Seed, contemplating whether he could utilize Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s spells to control Qingyang Fire. Suddenly, he heard the ring of his phone.


    ¡°Who could it be at this late hour? A prank call?¡±


    just as he was about to hang up, he noticed the name of the caller.


    Qing Nu!


    What¡¯s wrong?


    He picked up immediately.


    ¡°What, Yang Jing was taken by two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators?¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but hearing Qing Nu¡¯s tearful voice, he could no longer remain detached.


    ¡°Stay at home and wait for me, I¡¯m on my way!¡±


    Having said that, he grabbed his storage bag and jumped out of his room¡¯s window.


    The Sect had rules prohibiting cultivators from flying over the 36 Cave-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands.

    However, moving along rooftops was not prohibited.


    As Chen Mobai rushed towards Qing Nu¡¯s apartment, he called Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Hello!¡±


    ¡°Two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators have taken one of my friends. I suspect it¡¯s the doing of people from Ascension Sect.


    ¡ö¡öOh, that¡¯s a major incident, but I¡¯m currently chasing after the two companions of that Gold Stone Nunnery disciple from this afternoon. 1 can¡¯t leave..¡±

 Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Chapter 246 – One Sword_2

    Chapter 275: Chapter 246 ¨C One Sword_2


    ¡ö¡¯Weren¡¯t you supposed to be capable, how come those two have been killing for


    so long?¡±


    There was a hint of doubt in Chen Mobai¡¯s tone. Considering what Qing Women said about two people carrying Yang Jing away, a thought flashed through his mind abruptly.


    ¡°You, you weren¡¯t just standing by watching this whole thing happen, were


    you?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t just shoot off your mouth. I was busy trying to kill the cultists. As powerful as I am, I¡¯m only one person. I killed one of them, but the other one managed to escape. I¡¯m not good at tracking, so it has taken me this long.¡± Lan Haitian immediately denied it. Chen Mobai had no evidence to further accuse him, and after all, he needed Lan¡¯s help.


    ¡°Could you come help me first?¡±


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t work, the members of the Ascension Sect are all fanatics. I¡¯m afraid that the other one who escaped might hurt the public. I should continue to seek him out and eliminate him.¡±


    -The individual on my side could also be a cultist. We have known each other


    for some time, aren¡¯t you going to help me out?¡±


    Chen Mobai could only play the emotional card. Although he had reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission and acquired the Qingyang Fire Seed, and Meng Hong stated that he could fight anyone bar later stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Yang Jing was kidnapped by two True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment stage.


    What if they were higher-level cultists in the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment stage or above?


    To ensure safety, it would be wise to get Lan Haitian, a well-known figure, involved.


    ¡°So, about joining the Sky Patching Group ¡­¡±


    From the other end of the call came Lan Haitian¡¯s tactful proposal. Chen


    Mobai¡¯s eyebrows twitched as he weighed his options.


    ¡°There¡¯s always an interview process for joining a group. I haven¡¯t seen the awesomeness of the Sky Patching Group yet, so you should give me a chance to broaden my horizons.¡±


    Lan Haitian hung up the phone with a speechless expression on his face.


    ¡°Is this kid really worth all the trouble you¡¯re going through?¡±


    A feminine, magnetic voice sounded again, laced with bewilderment.


    ¡°When I retire, the higher-ups are likely to appoint you as the leader of the sixth team. He¡¯s meant to be your deputy.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is he as outstanding as me?¡±


    ¡°In terms of killing, probably not as good as you. But when it comes to the talent for magic duels, he is almost on par with me.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words left the unseen woman silent.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    After quite a while, this phrase echoed in the empty air.


    ¡°He¡¯s here.¡±


    Lan Haitian watched as a dark shadow leaped across several tall buildings onto the rooftop, covering his body and erasing his presence from the rooftop.


    Chen Mobai rushed into Qing Women¡¯s room and saw the two yet enwrapped in the snow white spider silk cocoon. Qing Women had managed to get her head half-free.


    In the humming of swords,


    Two scarlet sword energies sliced through the cocoon.


    immediately thereafter, the snow white spider silk, which neither Qing Women nor Kong Feichen could snap with their full spiritual power, was dyed in the flame of the sword energy, glowed red, and disintegrated into fragments.


    In the blink of an eye, it fell to pieces.


    Chen Mobai caught Qing Women as she fell from the split-open cocoon, while Kong Feichen crashed heavily onto the floor.


    ¡°Do you have a way to track down Yang Jing?¡±


    ¡°Her phone¡¯s probably been located. Let me try.


    Qing Women, pale-faced, took out her own phone, but found that Yang Jing¡¯s phone had been left at the door.


    ¡°What about the Aura Chain Technique and the Bloodline Curse?¡±


    Chen Mobai then remembered these tracking spells from the immortal gate.


    The blood of relatives, objects used by the missing person, all could be used for tracking.


    ¡°The Bloodline Curse won¡¯t work. We don¡¯t share a blood relation.


    Kong Feichen spoke up, producing a rag doll from the couch.


    ¡°This is her favourite. You can try the ¡®Aura Chain Technique¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, then opened the immortal gate¡¯s spell library and immediately downloaded the tracking spell.


    ¡°Judging from your situation, the enemy would have long fled by the time you learned the spell.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came from outside the window, giving Qing Women and Kong Feichen a scare. Kong Feichen even instinctively activated the Wind Blade Technique, but it was easily crushed by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°He¡¯s a friend I asked to help.¡±


    ¡°I asked the Sky-Patching Team to check the local sky-eye cameras, and they found footage of them leaving.¡±


    ¡°Take me with you!¡±


    Kong Feichen rushed to the window, right in front of Lan Haitian, and pleaded with wide eyes.


    ¡°You two are too weak.¡±


    Lan Haitian shook his head and pointed at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°There are two of them, and two of us. That s enough.


    At this point, Chen Mobai also found himself backed into a corner,


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    He came to the window, preparing to leave with Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Please, you need to bring her back.¡±


    Kong Feichen implored both of them solemnly.


    Chen Mobai looked at Qing Women, whose eyes were filled with hope and worry. She wanted her sister to return safely, but was also concerned about the dangers Chen Mobai might face. Eventually, this translated into a single sentence,


    ¡°Both of you must return safely.¡±


    ¡°You take care of her, we¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    After instructing Kong Feichen, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian disappeared from the window.


    ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t fly?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As Lan Haitian¡¯s Yuan Magnetic Force carried them, they flew through the sky towards the suburbs.


    ¡°We are the Sky Patching Group. In special circumstances, we can ignore some of the immortal gate¡¯s rules. We only need to submit a report afterward.¡±


    Lan Haitian said nonchalantly.


    ¡°Tell me the truth, our opponents are those two Ascension Sect disciples who came to Danxia City with the bald guy, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked..

 Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Chapter 246: One Sword_3

    Chapter 276: Chapter 246: One Sword_3


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, but I can assure you that I did catch a cultist from the


    Ascension Sect today.¡±


    [Even though that spy was a bit weak, he was indeed a genuine cultist.]


    Lan Haitian was careful with his words.


    ¡°Thank you for helping me.¡±


    Seeing that he couldn¡¯t get any more information, Chen Mobai could only express his gratitude first.


    ¡°About joining the Restoring Heaven Team¡­¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss it after we bring back Yang Jing. I¡¯ll consider it.


    Chen Mobai continued to dangle the bait, while Lan Haitian did not press too hard. After all, as long as Chen Mobai began to consider it, there was a possibility of success.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to speed up.¡±


    He intended to display his strength. With the full explosion of the Yuan Magnetic Force, Chen Mobai could feel the buildings and streets beneath them blur, leaving a trail of afterimages.


    in merely three minutes, Lan Haitian had left Red Sandstone City with two people.


    Then there was a streak of rapid movement, as if the earth was propelling them forward, and within half an hour, they saw two figures flying in the sky.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the initiative to rescue the hostage. You are responsible for providing support and protection. They will definitely scatter and run when they see me. You don¡¯t need to chase, just protect yourself and the hostage.¡±


    Lan Haitian simply stated the tactics, and Chen Mobai felt for a moment as if the vast earth was waking up, with the earth trembling in sync with the breathing of the leader of the Restoring Heaven Team.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡±


    The two figures in mid-air turned their heads to look. The woman in sunglasses felt a portion of her Divine Sense being severed, and Yang Jing, whom she previously had control over, suddenly became uncontrollable.


    It seemed like instant teleportation, as Chen Mobai saw Yang Jing, who had disappeared from the woman in sunglasses, fall from the empty space in front of him. Chen Mobai quickly stretched out his hands to catch him.


    ¡°What kind of spell is this? A pickpocket¡¯s trick?¡±


    Lan Haitian, who planned to showcase his Foundation Establishment¡¯s top strength, nearly lost control of his breath when he heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    He sensed his vice leader¡¯s anger.


    Using a thief¡¯s term to describe her proud unique technique.


    ¡°Damn, it¡¯s Lan Haitian. Why is he here?¡±


    The woman in sunglasses who was angry turned her head and saw Lan Haitian, the one man from the Daoist Academy that she wasn¡¯t sure she could defeat, her face turned pale.


    ¡°You have the imprint of the Master of Divine Mastery. How far can you fight


    with Lan Haitian?¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi suddenly asked beside her.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t have confidence of defeating him, I can definitely escape.


    The woman in sunglasses was a master at the 7th tier of Foundation Establishment. After receiving the technique transfer from the Master of Divine Mastery, she could elevate her secret technique to the Core Formation level.


    If her opponent was another Foundation Establishment level opponent, even if it was Qiongzhi Fairy from the Nature Studies Academy, she was confident she could defeat them.


    But only Lan Haitian!


    This was a magical combat genius who had practiced one of the Six Commands and formed a Gold Core Domain before reaching Core Formation.


    However, even though she may not be able to defeat him, she felt she could hold him off.


    ¡°I will kill that lad and grab the target before escaping. Before I disappear, do your best to hold off Lan Haitian.¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi said this, waved his hands, and transformed into wings. He turned into a streak of black light and rushed towards Chen Mobai who held Yang Jing in his arms.


    ¡°Agreed, even if it costs my life, I will hold off Lan Haitian!¡±


    After formulating the battle plan, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a terrifying pair of eyes with only an iris and no pupil.


    ¡°The will of heaven is with me!¡±


    She executed her supreme technique, and in an instant, the sky flashed and thundered, the stormy winds roared around her, as if she was the master of everything, the living will of heaven and earth!


    ¡°Oh, you think you can block me?¡±


    Lan Haitian himself was still a hundred meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself pulled into the illusion.


    ¡°You¡¯ve become the Heart Demon of many in our Ascension Sect. If I can drag you down into the abyss with this life of mine, I will die a worthy death!¡± After saying this, the silver flame mark on the woman with only whites in her eyes began burning fiercely, and her aura escalated moment by moment. Peak of the 7th tier of Foundation Establishment, 8th tier of Foundation Establishment, 9th tier of Foundation Establishment, Perfection of Foundation Establishment¡­


    Next, there was even a dazzling Gold Core brilliance emanating from her Dantian Qi Sea, and the frantic scene around her multiplied in its intensity, gushing towards Lan Haitian like the end of the world.


    ¡°This is a bit troublesome. If I don¡¯t try my best, I might not be able to defeat her.¡±


    Upon seeing the state of his opponent, Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.


    Once he had to go all out, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold off reaching the Core Formation stage, and might have to retire from the Restoring Heaven Team ahead of schedule.


    ¡°Do you need my help?¡±


    Hearing the Vice Leader¡¯s voice in his ear, Lan Haitian glanced at Tuoba Wanyi who had turned his arms into wings and his legs into giant claws, he sighed slightly.


    ¡°Stay near and protect him, step in when he can¡¯t keep up. I might not be able to take care of you guys.¡±


    Lan Haitian initially thought his trip to Red Sandstone City was a vacation. Unexpectedly, it ended up being the push he needed to reach the Core Formation stage.


    ¡°If I step in, your lie will be exposed.¡±


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s no other way. I can¡¯t just watch him get killed by cultists, right?¡±


    Lan Haitian sighed, he was no longer uncertain.


    He closed his eyes momentarily, then opened them again.


    With a resounding roar, the illusion was pierced and torn apart by his gaze.

    The most powerful technique of Kunpeng Daoist Academy¡¯s dominance over thirty-six blessed lands, the Six Commandments, was about to be executed. Just then, a brilliantly blinding purple Sword Light rose into the sky not far away. Quietly cracking open the vast sky, the rain and thunderstorm, frost and chilly winds under this purple Sword Light were all somewhat dispersed and half melted.


    All three turned their heads simultaneously to see Chen Mobai holding the now conscious Yang Jing in his left hand, and reinserting a wooden hairpin into his hair with his right hand.


    In front of him, a purple flame Sword Light split Tuoba Wanyi from his brow to his chest, slowly burning him from the inside, splitting his body in two, and turning him into two burning torches. He fell from the sky in disbelief. However, before he even hit the ground, he was turned to ash by the purple flames and scattered by the violent winds.


    ¡°Should I help?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, feeling bad about doing nothing, and asked Lan Haitian, who seemed to be about to begin a fierce battle not too far away..

 Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Chapter 247: Ambition of the Bird_l

    Chapter 277: Chapter 247: Ambition of the Bird_l


    The people present fell silent in an instant.


    Although Lan Haitian knew that Chen Mobai was a naturally born battle immortal, with amazing skills in magic duels, in his understanding, the latter had not yet experienced a Foundation Establishment level battle. He would need to join the Repair Group, go out on a few missions, and then be eligible to be promoted to a member of the six groups.


    However, the current situation was greatly unexpected.


    That guy, the sword just now was ¡°Sword Light¡±, right?


    Isn¡¯t he just at the Foundation Establishment stage?


    How many years has it been since a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment has comprehended such a sword cultivation realm?


    It must have been a thousand years, right!


    ¡°Or, you should do it for another ten or twenty years, and after you retire, let him be the team leader, I can be the vice team leader.¡±


    Hearing the tentative words from his vice captain, Lan Haitian could not help but chuckle.


    Suddenly, the woman from the Ascension Sect who had been eager to fight, once witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s instant kill of Tuoba Wanyi, didn¡¯t hesitate any more.


    With a sudden sound.


    She instantly transformed into a silver current and shot away toward the sea.


    ¡°She ran away. Shall we chase?¡±


    As the feminine voice sounded in his ears, Lan Haitian nodded and glanced at Chen Mobai, signaling her to deal with things below.


    ¡°After all, she¡¯s a Cultist, and while I scared her, I still need to see her leave the Sects¡¯ territory with my own eyes before I can be at ease.¡±


    After saying that, Lan Haitian followed the silver current using the Yuan Magnetic Force.


    Chen Mobai saw the two who had a powerful aura and whose confrontation was so intense that it caused an upheaval in the heavens and earth and turned them into a thunderstorm suddenly disappeared before his eyes. He couldn¡¯t help scratching his head.


    [They must be afraid that the aftermath of the battle would hurt us, so they want to have a great fight; that¡¯s why they went offshore to a barren land.]


    While he was thinking about this, a pair of soft arms hugged his neck, and a warm breath hit his face.


    ¡°Brother in law, you¡¯re amazing!¡±


    On Yang Jing¡¯s pale cheeks was a hint of pink, her eyes were wide open, and she looked relieved to have survived, hugging Chen Mobai tightly with all her might.


    She woke up just in time to see Chen Mobai draw out his hairpin, strike casually in the air, and cut the half-beast monster that easily restrained Qing Nu and Kong Feichen in two with a single sword.


    Girls always idolize heroes.


    But Yang Jing¡¯s experience as a child made her turn into a snake and hide in the shadows.


    Today, the invincible posture of Chen Mobai¡¯s one-sword kill rekindled the warm breath of life in her frozen heart.


    She felt a warm current flowing all over her body, causing her to tremble.


    The deep purple Sword Light, in the moment it killed the enemy, seemed to break the shell that had confined her for over twenty years, allowing her to feel an emotion called excitement once again.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had been this close to a girl. Although Yang Jing usually liked to wear hats, long sleeves, and long pants, wrapping herself tightly, she was actually a very beautiful girl.


    Feeling the softness and fullness against him, he realized that Yang Jing¡¯s figure was much more attractive than Qing Nu¡¯s.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Qing Nu and I are just good friends.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he immediately let go of his left hand that was hugging Yang Jing¡¯s slender waist, signaling her that the danger was over and she could come down.


    ¡°Brother-in-law, I can¡¯t fly.¡±


    Yang Jing, however, was unwilling to let go, but she was a little shy after all. She let her legs, which were wrapped around Chen Mobai, loose, and leaned in his arms, hugging his neck tightly.


    Chen Mobai also reacted. After all, she hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation level was not enough either. He couldn¡¯t fly with spiritual power like Lan Haitian, so he could only let Yang Jing hang around his neck.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay. Qing Nu is worried about you. Call her first to tell her you¡¯re safe.¡±


    At these words, Yang Jing finally came to her senses. She held onto Chen Mobai¡¯s neck with one hand and took the phone with the other to dial the number she knew by heart.


    The two sisters talked on the phone, and there was more crying. Qing Nu on the other end of the phone kept thanking Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I just made a little effort, it¡¯s nothing to be mentioned.¡±


    Chen Mobai said these words sincerely. He didn¡¯t mention that he easily killed the ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for the woman with white eyes who could stand against Lan Haitian and caused a great upheaval, he was definitely no match for her.


    He felt that if he hadn¡¯t brought Lan Haitian, a notorious guy, they would have been able to save their lives at most when facing these two cultists from the Ascension Sect.


    There was no way he could have saved Yang Jing.


    [Brother-in-law is so strong, yet so humble. My sister is so lucky.]


    When Yang Jing returned the phone to Chen Mobai, this was what she was thinking.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait here for a while.¡±


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai felt that it wasn¡¯t very appropriate to go back like this. After all, Lan Haitian came over to help. They had to wait at least until dawn.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, although it was self-defense just now.


    But they did kill people after all.


    This was in the Sect. They didn¡¯t know how to handle it.


    He wanted to ask Lan Haitian.


    The deputy team leader of the sixth group, who was hiding not far away, thought it unnecessary for Chen Mobai to waste time like this. After all, they didn¡¯t know when the team leader would come back from driving away the man from the Ascension Sect..

 Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Chapter 247 Aspiration of the Flying Bird_2

    Chapter 278: Chapter 247 Aspiration of the Flying Bird_2


    Ding ding ding!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s phone rang.


    He thought it was Qing Nu calling again due to her worry, but it turned out to


    be Lan Haitian¡¯s.


    ¡°You guys go back first, I¡¯ll probably take a few more days before I can come back.¡±


    Is this guy that powerful?


    He can still send text messages while fighting?


    Chen Mobai was shocked, feeling that he had underestimated the power of cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment realm. Indeed, there were many areas where he needed improvement.


    To avoid distracting Lan Haitian during his peak battle with the powerful opponent, he didn¡¯t reply the text, planning to discuss in more detail upon the latter¡¯s return.


    However, at this moment, Chen Mobai realized that he had begun to slacken off since reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    It seemed that his dream from childhood had been realized and he had lost some motivation.


    Then let¡¯s set another small goal!


    Strive to reach Lan Haitian¡¯s realm as soon as possible!


    Reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment realm would allow him to perfectly harness the most powerful state of the Sword Rainbow Fission technique. By then, should he encounter formidable opponents like the white-eyed woman from the Ascension Sect again, he would be able to fight side by side with Lan Haitian!


    Chen Mobai, who didn¡¯t want to become a burden, secretly made up his mind.


    ¡°Hold on tight, I¡¯ll take you home.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Jing immediately clung on tighter, with her slender legs looking as though they were ready to spring up. But Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze stopped her, and embarrassed, she lowered her head.


    Watching the two disappear, a short, gray-haired female figure appeared in mid-air. She had snow-white skin and brown eyes, but wore a black mask over the lower half of her face, making it difficult to make out her features.


    Behind her head, a right hand appeared clutching a cell phone.


    It was indeed her who had logged into Lan Haitian¡¯s number and sent Chen


    Mobai a message to return first.


    It was a bizarre sight, a solitary head and arm floating in mid-air. It could be mistaken for some practitioner of a forbidden technique that allows for airborne corpses.


    ¡°Where does our group leader find such monsters!


    Lin Yin, as the deputy leader of the Sky Patching Team Six and a veteran of countless battles, found this particularly dangerous. His most dangerous battle was against an evil sword cultivator of the Ascension Sect. The latter, while fighting Lan Haitian, exhibited the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, splitting a streak of sword light toward her.


    It was this very streak of sword light that almost caught her off guard, almost separating her body into two halves, just like what almost happened to Tuoba Wanyi.


    Just at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai has managed to manipulate the Sword Rainbow Fission. He couldn¡¯t simply be described as a genius anymore!


    ¡°Monster¡± would be a more accurate term!


    But this was better in a way, at least it ensured the leader of Team Six was always a ¡°monster¡±.


    Lin Yin was completely unaware that Chen Mobai had no intention of joining the Sky Patching Team.


    By the time Chen Mobai and Yang Jing returned to Red Sandstone City without


    Lan Haitian¡¯s Yuan Magnetic Force assistance, it was almost dawn.


    After reaching the apartment, the sight of Qing Nu and the Yang sisters embracing was such a beautiful scene that Chen Mobai and Kong Feichen made their way to the balcony.


    ¡°Thank you, I owe you my life.¡±


    On the balcony, Kong Feichen earnestly spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°It was nothing more than a lift of a hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that he didn¡¯t need to be so serious about it.


    ¡°Do you want to know the story of the three of us?


    At this moment, Kong Feichen suddenly asked.


    Well, since you¡¯ve brought it up, I am a bit curious.


    Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    The two of them sat on the small sofa on the balcony, Kong Feichen opened a bottle of beer, and began his story as he drank.


    ¡°The three of us grew up together in a laboratory. There were hundreds of children like us, and from the moment we became conscious, each of us was shut inside room-size boxes like bugs.¡±


    ¡°Every once in a while, someone would be taken out to undergo all sorts of experiments. Some kids never came back once they left.¡±


    ¡°As you may have guessed, the purpose of those experiments was to create superior Spiritual Roots. We are their most successful experiments.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. These stories, which he had only seen on television, actually existed in reality?


    Kong Feichen lifted his sleeve, revealing a dark tattoo on his chest: [E2] ¡°I am a second-level Spiritual Root. As it turned out, our experiments were exposed, and a bunch of people from the Immortal Sect came to clean up.¡± ¡°The three of us were then sent to a welfare institute in Red Sandstone City.¡± ¡°But before we left the lab, we were all cursed with a mark that prevents us from talking about anything happening there.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt very strange.


    ¡°Then how are you able to tell me?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t spend my years at the Imperial Medical Academy in vain. I unsealed it when I was in the stage of Foundation Establishment, but because of this, I failed.¡±


    ¡°No wonder, despite your talent, and us providing you with so many spiritual objects, you still haven¡¯t successfully establish your foundation.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai seemed to understand, it finally answered one of the questions in his heart.


    ¡°There is another thing, even my sister and Yang Jing don¡¯t know about.¡¯ At this moment, Kong Feichen suddenly put his cup down, and said something that made Chen Mobai very concerned.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I also practiced the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Kong Feichen looked at Qing Nu and Yang Jing sleeping soundly on the couch after crying, tenderness flickering in his eyes.


    ¡°When Yang Jing was a kid, he dreamed of being a snake so he could crawl out of the square room to observe the green grass and fresh flowers.


    ¡°And I, I dreamt of being a bird that could freely soar in the sky. ¡°The Sealing Skill given to us by Captain Gan was right, but I made some changes to the Sealing Skill I gave you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face dramatically changed, he got up and was about to make a move, only to find himself unable to move.


    ¡°Did you poison the beer? What did you do to Qing Nu and Yang Jing?¡±


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai realized something was wrong.


    With the cultivation level of Qing Nu and Yang Jing, no matter how tired they were, it couldn¡¯t be like this.


    At a time when Kong Feichen was telling such an important story, there were no interruptions.


    ¡°It¡¯s not poison, but a medicine that can enhance the quality of spiritual power. In the past four years, I am the top medicinal student at the Imperial Medical Academy, and my tutor regards me as a genius who can change the future of Immortal Sect¡¯s pharmacology.¡±


    Kong Feichen took out an empty glass vial from his bosom, explaining as he spoke.


    ¡°This spiritual medicine is named ¡®Solid¡¯. You can regard it as an advanced edition of Solidifying Qi Liquid, it solidifies the spiritual power of the cultivator. As everyone knows, the process from liquid spiritual power to solid is the process of Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°The medicine I am referring to simulates this process. Though, it only carries a ten-thousandth of the spiritual effect of Liquid Gold Return Pill, it can allow you to experience higher-quality spiritual power in advance.¡±


    ¡°But since your body and Divine Sense are still at the foundation stage, you can¡¯t use such high-quality spiritual power. But the effects of the drug can only sustain for half a day.¡±


    After Kong Feichen had finished speaking, he placed the empty glass vial on the table in front of them. He then finished the rest of his beer.


    ¡°Oh, yes, this medicine only works on liquid spiritual power, so for a Qi Practitioner like me, this is really just beer.¡±


    ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to think about a solution while also trying to gauge Kong Feichen¡¯s true intentions.


    ¡°Nothing, I just can¡¯t let go of my past.¡±


    Kong Feichen touched his tattoo on his chest, he laughed self-mockingly, his face slightly distorted, and suddenly, his pupils turned dark gold.

    -I practiced the Twofold Divine Technique. I thought I could bury my past hatred, pain, and despair. But, I overestimated myself; I couldn¡¯t do it.¡± Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai understood that Kong Feichen was already controlled by the other personality within his body.


    Or maybe the two personalities reached an agreement in their shared hatred. ¡öTve been searching for the answer to undo the Twofold Divine Technique at the Imperial Medical Academy in the past few years. The only solution I found was the source of this forbidden technique, the Devour God Technique.¡± Kong Feichen walked into the living room saying this. He lifted Yang Jing who was sleeping in Qing Nu¡¯s arms, covered Qing Nu with a blanket, returned to the balcony and activated a talisman.


    A silver fire ring tore a portal out of thin air on the balcony.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave my sister to you, I am taking her to get cured.


    After saying this, Kong Feichen stepped into the silver fire ring with Yang Jing. At this moment, a grey, short-haired head emerged in mid-air. Lin Yin silently wielded a dagger, aiming it at Kong Feichen¡¯s neck..

 Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Chapter 248 Behind the Scenes Person_l

    Chapter 279: Chapter 248 Behind the Scenes Person_l


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Upon witnessing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but cry out in alarm.


    Even though Kong Feichen had plotted against him, after their conversation, Chen Mobai understood his motives, because it was all to cure the mental illness of Yang Jing.


    So when Kong Feichen left with Yang Jing, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be a good resolution for the siblings.


    The moment Lin Yin appeared abruptly, Chen Mobai wanted to stop her. But the influence of Kong Feichen¡¯s ¡°binding¡± was too powerful, and even his potent Divine Sense could not mobilize an iota of the spiritual power within his Qi Sea in the Dantian.


    A flicker of inexplicable sorrow flashed in his eyes. He closed them, unwilling to watch the scene of Kong Feichen getting killed.


    At that very moment, his Divine Sense sensed an unprecedented mighty aura that he had never felt before.


    A faint sound of cutting through the air echoed, and a withered, yellow leaf shot down from the roof across. It gently landed on Lin Yin¡¯s dagger that had already drawn blood on Kong Feichen¡¯s neck.


    A sharp ring!


    The crystal-clear sound of the shattering echoed. After breaking the dagger with the falling leaf, the momentum of the shot continued and grazed past Lin Yin¡¯s outstretched right shoulder.


    Blood splashed, and Lin Yin let out a muffled grunt. Holding her injured joint, she disappeared into thin air once again.


    Who was it?


    Chen Mobai was unsure. That blood-stained, withered yellow leaf fluttered down and landed on the table in front of him, next to an empty glass bottle.


    He looked up and saw Kong Feichen also looking surprised. Apparently, he hadn¡¯t expected someone to be lying in wait nearby. He didn¡¯t know who had made the move, let alone who had saved him.


    ¡°Get going!¡±


    A synthesized electronic sound rang out. Chen Mobai looked over and saw a figure in a black hoodie. He couldn¡¯t see the figure or face clearly. Only the pair of bright pupils indicated that it was a human being.


    ¡°Thank you, senior.¡±


    Kong Feichen felt the injuries on his neck. Not wanting to delay any further, he thanked the mysterious person, and with Yang Jing in his arms, he directly stepped into the silver fire ring.


    After watching them disappear, Chen Mobai looked back to the rooftop across the street only to find that the person was gone.


    He took a deep breath and struggled to lift his palm, gently touching the withered yellow leaf on the table.


    It was a commonplace leaf, one that could be easily plucked from the cypress trees planted all over the city.


    However, this ordinary leaf, right before Chen Mobai, had defeated a high-powered cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, whom not even he was aware of.


    Who was this person?


    Undoubtedly stronger than him, as Chen Mobai¡¯s most powerful Sword Rainbow Fission, if it were to accomplish its full power, must be used in combination with a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, such as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    But this person had used merely a common withered leaf.


    Plucking leaves into flight, flicking enemies away with a snap.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that this person seemed to be more formidable than both the earth-shattering Lan Haitian and the eye-commanding woman from the Ascension Sect!


    But Lan Haitian was already the strongest cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage in the Sect.


    Stronger than him¡­


    Could it be the Gold Core cultivator!


    Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.


    After a long while, when he felt that his hands could move freely again, he took out his mobile phone and located the number of his teacher, Che Yucheng, in the contacts list.


    Just as he was about to make the call, a faint cough sounded in his ear.


    ¡°You¡¯re still here?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know who Lin Yin was, but he immediately realized it was her.


    ¡°Every move of a Gold Core cultivator in the Sect must be reported to the Xianwu Hall in advance.¡±


    Lin Yin appeared before Chen Mobai, holding her shoulder. She sat in the spot where Kong Feichen was just now. While she spoke, she took out two pieces of white plasters and applied them crosswise on the wound.


    In no time, Chen Mobai saw that her wound stopped bleeding, healed rapidly, and started forming a scab.


    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±


    ¡°There were no other Gold Core cultivators visiting Red Sandstone City recently. There are only two that hold the city.¡±


    Lin Yin looked up, her brown pupils meeting Chen Mobai¡¯s, revealing shocking news.


    ¡°Do you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°If the Gold Core cultivators are indeed involved, the palace entrusted with upholding the law in the Sect may not necessarily be able to handle it. The matter needs to be escalated to the Xianwu Hall.¡±


    The Sect is governed by three halls. While the Xianwu Hall is in charge of administrating the three billion cultivators as per the law, including birth, old age, sickness, and death, the judicial hall is committed to upholding the law and eliminating any heretical elements who disrupt it and the happiness of the people.


    The final hall, the originator, is responsible for mandating the laws of the Sect.


    Admission to the originator hall is simple.


    Any cultivator who is a Gold Core and hasn¡¯t been deprived of his political rights by the Sect can join.


    That implies that each Gold Core cultivator is a manager of the Sect.


    And the two Gold Core cultivators of Red Sandstone City are listed in the originator hall. If they are indeed involved, the judicial hall has no jurisdiction over them.


    First, the originator hall needs to oust them, and then only can the laws of the Sect be applied to them.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that the two true men are like this.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and declared his disbelief, but he didn¡¯t directly mention the names of the two real men of Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Simply on my suspicion, the originator hall certainly won¡¯t start an investigation.¡±


    While Lin Yin spoke, her brown pupils met those of Chen Mobai, who shook his head immediately.


    ¡°Whether the culprit is a Gold Core cultivator is merely your speculation, I cannot testify for you..¡±

 Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: Chapter 248: The Person Behind the

    Chapter 280: Chapter 248: The Person Behind the


    Scenes_2


    ¡°As you wish.¡±


    Lin Yin said no more, made a gesture with one hand, and began to vanish again.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t even know who you are.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll know in due time.¡±


    Due to their combat roles, members of the Patching Six Group usually kept their identities hidden. Though Lin Yin knew that Lan Haitian wanted to pull Chen Mobai into Patching Group, she wasn¡¯t her colleague yet, so she did not reveal her name.


    Although she didn¡¯t say her name, Chen Mobai had a guess based on the few words she had just spoken.


    She must be a person from the Justice Hall, and the only one he had contact with recently from the Justice Hall was Lan Haitian.


    Therefore, there is a high probability that she is a member of the Patching Group.


    In that case, the credibility of Lan Haitian¡¯s words earlier is questionable now.


    However, at this point, these are minor details.


    If it was a Gold Core True Cultivator who let Kong Feichen go in the end¡­


    Pondering this, a worrisome expression flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    After thinking it over, he recorded this incident in a detailed document and sent it to his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    This Dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, who is also a Gold Core True Cultivator and once served on a standing committee of the Kaiyuan Hall, must certainly have more experience in such matters than he does.


    However, he did not reply immediately, seemingly not by his phone.


    By mid-morning, Chen Mobai finally felt that he could regain control of the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea.


    He took a deep breath, feeling the more substantial spiritual power, and couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    This medicine is quite potent. It seems that the pill toxicity accumulated from taking the Foundation Building Pill disappeared. At the very least, it saved him the grueling task of detoxifying the toxins for half a year.


    Beep,beep,beep!


    At this time, Che Yucheng finally responded with a message.


    Just one sentence.


    [I see. After you¡¯re done with your affairs, come back as soon as possible. Before the truth comes out, don¡¯t rashly investigate a Gold Core True Cultivator.]


    Seeing this message, Chen Mobai promptly replied two words: [Okay],


    Actually, when he had just returned to Red Sandstone City, he had visited the Red Robed True Man at the Red Dawn Institution. However, he was in seclusion and could not be seen.


    Given the current situation, Chen Mobai may not return to Red Sandstone City for a few years.


    Once sure his spiritual power was unharmed, Chen Mobai walked into the living room.


    Seeing Qing Nu sound asleep on the sofa, he sighed, reached out, and touched her smooth, white forehead.


    ¡°Hmm¡­What happened¡­ Where is Jing¡¯er?¡±


    When Qing Nu woke up, she was not yet clear about the situation, she rubbed her eyes and looked for her younger sister, who in her confused state, should¡¯ve just been rescued.


    ¡°Kong Feichen took her to a faraway place for treatment.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, and then told her everything that happened.


    After listening, Qing Nu fell into a daze.


    After what felt like a long time, her eyes welled up with unstoppable tears, and she cried to the point that Chen Mobai was at a loss about what to do.


    In the end, he had no choice but to hold her and comfort her.


    Two days later.


    Chen Mobai received a call from Lan Haitian, and they agreed to meet at the same place.


    ¡°It was burdensome for you last time.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted Lan Haitian, who was sitting above the medicine vat, as soon as he landed in the courtyard. After all, Lan Haitian had come to rescue Yang Jing at his request. Even though Kong Feichen had taken her away in the end, he should still be grateful.


    ¡°How are you considering joining the Patching Group?¡±


    Lan Haitian asked with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.


    ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it and believe I¡¯m not made for combat. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±


    Originally, after killing Tuoba Wanyi of the Ascension Sect with a single sword strike, Chen Mobai felt that joining wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. At least his abilities seemed capable amongst the cultivators.


    However, his confidence wavered after a mysterious expert broke his offense with a simple leaf when Kong Feichen was leaving.


    He was still too weak and needed to cultivate and progress further.


    ¡°Kong Feichen of the Imperial Medical Academy colluded with the Ascension Sect, seriously violating the laws of the cultivators. He¡¯s been listed as a Rank-2 wanted criminal of the cultivators. Any cultivator who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Lan Haitian suddenly stated.


    Chen Mobai stood still, unaffected.


    What does Kong Feichen matter to him? Since he chose this path, whether he lives or dies is all down to his own luck.


    ¡°An announcement was issued from the Hall of Orthodoxy, saying that whoever kills Kong Feichen will be rewarded with a Barrier Breaking Pill and six hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°A Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill?¡±


    The Barrier Breaking Pill is one of the most popular Rank-2 spirit medicines in the Immortal Sect. As the name suggests, it helps cultivators break through their bottlenecks.


    The Small Barrier Breaking Elixir is meant for the small bottlenecks from Foundation Establishment Rank-1 to Rank-2, or from Rank-4 to Rank-5.


    On the other hand, the Big Barrier Breaking Pill is aimed at the bigger bottlenecks of Foundation Establishment from Rank-3 to Rank-4 and from Rank-6 to Rank-7.


    But whether it¡¯s a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill, it¡¯s the most valuable medicine for the true cultivators in the Immortal Sect working on their foundation establishment.


    Because even though the Immortal Sect has a variety of complete and mature spiritual medicine and spiritual water systems to boost spiritual power, the obstacles between each realm can only be tackled by two or three kinds of rare elixirs.


    Even at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, every time the end-of-term score exchange is held, any Barrier Breaking Pill that appears is sure to be snapped up instantly.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Big one.¡±


    With a smile on his face, Lan Haitian gave Chen Mobai an impressively intriguing answer.


    ¡°He¡¯s actually worth that price.¡±


    ¡°What, you want to capture him and exchange him for a Barrier Breaking Pill?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it, but I mainly find it unbelievable that a mere Qi practitioner like him could warrant such a rich reward from the Hall of Orthodoxy.¡±


    Lan Haitian initially held the same sentiment, but after hearing Lin Yin¡¯s report and giving it some thought, he realized that the person hidden behind all this would be terrifying.


    Which was not hard to comprehend.


    ¡°If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, you will be the first to know if Kong Feichen¡¯s trace is found within the Immortal Sect.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°You and his sister are close, aren¡¯t you? You should be looking to save him and the girl who has practiced the Forbidden Technique. If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, I could turn a blind eye.¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He shook his head.


    ¡°Seems like you still don¡¯t understand me.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai lifted his phone, turned around and bid farewell.


    ¡°If I reach Rank-9 Foundation Establishment and cannot acquire the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill by any other means, then I might consider joining the Heaven Replenishing Group. But for now, I value my freedom.¡±


    ¡°Freedom? You would still be free in the Heaven Replenishing Group, you would just need to complete five missions a year.¡±


    Lan Haitian tried to convince him one last time.


    However, Chen Mobai was not at all interested.


    ¡°I owe you a favor. If you need my help near Crimson Mountain in the future, feel free to give me a call.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai jumped up and left the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°Team leader, I thought you had already recruited him?¡±


    Lin Yin emerged behind the drug vat where Lan Haitian was standing.


    With a black mask on her face, her body tall and slender, her skin as white as snow; the only flaw being her flat chest, showing no curvature.


    ¡°After all, I¡¯m just a man, and I can¡¯t get everything my way.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian simply shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a sigh.


    ¡°No, but that other person, as you predicted, team leader, when I told her the purpose of my visit, she immediately agreed to join the Heaven Replenishing Group.¡±


    Upon hearing Lin Yin¡¯s words, a smile crept onto Lan Haitian¡¯s face.


    ¡°While I may not have increased the manpower of our group six, at least group four gained a new member. So, this trip wasn¡¯t a total loss.¡±


    ¡°Team leader, her only requirement for joining the Heaven Replenishing


    Group, was to be assigned to our group six.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Lan Haitian was taken aback upon hearing this, but then soon realized.


    ¡°Deny her request. Our group six doesn¡¯t need her.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°But team leader, she¡¯s a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°A Heavenly Spiritual Root only has a faster cultivation speed and no bottlenecks. Our group six needs ruthless individuals.¡±


    ¡°From what I¡¯ve seen, she seems highly determined, and with training, she could become an eligible member of group six.¡±


    Lin Yin objected, thinking it a shame to overlook someone of her potential, trying to persuade him. But Lan Haitian remained unmoved.


    ¡°Group six only needs those naturally ruthless people, just like Chen Mobai.¡±

 Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: Chapter 249 Farewell_l

    Chapter 281: Chapter 249 Farewell_l


    ¡°Thank you both for your hard work.¡±


    Within Wu Wan¡¯s workshop in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai puts down his Rank-2 Talisman Brush and expresses his gratitude to Luan Jingsheng and Wu Wan.


    ¡°Oh no, not at all. We are quite happy to lend you a hand.¡±


    Wu Wan began to tidy up the scattered bits of paper in his workshop with a smile.


    On the other hand, Luan Jingsheng seemed to be immersed in a state of deep comprehension, his eyes closed as he sat in his spot.


    ¡°This Five-Phase Umbrella might even evolve into a Rank-2 Magic Artifact in the future.¡±


    Picking up the wooden umbrella on his workbench, a product of the combined efforts of the trio, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help feeling sentimental.


    He was a man of nostalgia.


    Having been through numerous battles with him during the demonic beast invasion on Green Light Island, this Five-Phase Umbrella had suffered considerable damage, both to the umbrella surface and talismans drawn on it.


    If any other Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in the Tianhe Realm had encountered this, they would have discarded it and replaced it with a better defensive magic artifact.


    But Chen Mobai instead considered whether it could be repaired.


    Although he now possessed a Rank-2 Green Scale Arm Guard, this simple Rank-1 intermediate grade defensive talisman wasn¡¯t of much use to him. Yet, it was a very nice gift for his disciples.


    With his family¡¯s backing, Liu Wenbo already had one attacking and one defending Rank-1 magic artifact. But as a Loose Cultivator, Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t even afford a storage bag with a lifetime accumulation of Spirit Stones, let alone a magic artifact.


    Fortunately, he still had quite a few artifacts that he was no longer using. He thought to sort them out and give them to his two disciples.


    He had all planned out: sharing evenly.


    The Needle Box and the Five-Phase Umbrella would go to Zhuo Ming, and the Green Kerchief and Casting Sword Ring would go to Liu Wenbo. That way, each disciple would receive two items, a Rank-1 intermediate grade, and a Rank-1 superior grade.


    The Five-Phase Umbrella was previously degraded and just a Rank-1 intermediate grade, but Chen Mobai was not deterred.


    As a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator and a registered Rank-1 Talisman Maker of the Immortal Sect, he was more than capable of redrawing the defensive talismans on the Five-Phase Umbrella.


    However, casually redrawing wouldn¡¯t upgrade a talisman artifact, it required precise preliminary design and calculations.


    To repair the Five-Phase Umbrella and upgrade it to Rank-1 superior grade, Chen Mobai specially invited its original creator, Luan Jingsheng.


    Wu Wan, a treasure appraiser, was also invited by Chen Mobai for assistance.


    With more hands to help, they quickly designed an upgrade plan for the Five-Phase Umbrella based six revisions on Luan Jingsheng¡¯s original blueprint.


    Luckily, Wu Wan had his own Artifact Refining and Treasure Appraisal workshop, so Chen Mobai started the formal work there with new paper and ink for talisman making.


    However, when they started, they encountered some issues that were not reflected on the blueprints.


    Nevertheless, with Chen Mobai being a Foundation-Based True Cultivator and a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, he overcame all difficulties after consulting with his talisman drawing teacher, Xu Xiu, and the artifact refining genius, Ming Yuhua. He successfully upgraded the Five-Phase Umbrella after seven days of work.


    During the process, Luan Jingsheng, who was assisting, greatly benefitted and seemed to have entered some realization state.


    Not disturbing him, Chen Mobai and Wu Wan decided to wait for him in the tea room outside.


    When Luan Jingsheng finally emerged, he thanked Chen Mobai heartily.


    ¡°I was the one who taught you the basics of talisman drawing. No need for formalities,¡± Chen Mobai replied, which evoked overwhelming emotions for Luan Jingsheng.


    Back in the old days at Red Dawn Institution, the student who received even the three basic sets of talisman drawing from him, was now a successful Foundation Establishment Cultivator.


    Upon realizing that Chen Mobai was a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, everything made sense to Luan Jingsheng.


    After all, he was a genius.


    The three enjoyed a meal together in the evening. Although Chen Mobai initially intended to pay, Luan Jingsheng insisted on covering the bill.


    Having learned so much from assisting Chen Mobai this time, he believed that he could pass the Rank-1 Talisman Maker¡¯s exam next year.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai met up with Shen Juanxiu and Chan Si again.


    Shen Juanxiu didn¡¯t look too well. Her attempt at the Foundation Establishment this year had ended in failure again.


    Besides, she had over-exerted herself, causing a downgrade in her cultivation state and decline in her vitality. As a result, she¡¯d have to wait another ten years before attempting the Foundation Establishment for the third time.


    ¡°Maybe I genuinely don¡¯t have any talent for cultivation,¡± lamented Shen Juanxiu, looking at Chen Mobai, who had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his skin glowing. She took another sip of her drink with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Chan should be preparing for her attempt at the Foundation Establishment soon, right?¡± Chen Mobai consoled Shen Juanxiu and added after a short chat with Chan Si, who subtly nodded.


    She had also prepared a full set of ¡®Foundation Treasure¡¯, but Shen Juanxiu¡¯s setback made her lose her courage to take the next step.

    ¡°There¡¯s a cultivation technique called ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ in the National Library. It might help.¡±


    As Chen Mobai shared the cultivation technique that could enhance the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the two women listened with awe.


    ¡°Such cultivation techniques exist in the Immortal Sect; how come we were unaware of it?¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ is highly demanding; about 70-80 percent of the students in the Four Great Daoist Academies can master it. Only the top students of the Ten Colleges can achieve it.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention the success rate of Foundation Establishment students practicing the ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ because the sample size was too small to make a general conclusion..

 Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Chapter 249: Farewell_2

    Chapter 282: Chapter 249: Farewell_2


    It was only after their thoughts on the Qi Cultivating Realm were fully formed and Shen Juanxiu had no other methods to offer, finding time to ponder on the border methods, that Chen Mobai gave them a hint.


    Not only them, but all the old classmates around Chen Mobai who had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he also had given them some advice.


    Song Zheng, Shi Jingjing, Cao Yaling and others in their own Xuegong had come into contact with the border method, but it was a pity that they were still


    stuck at the entrance.


    This border method was really difficult to cultivate successfully!


    They asked Chen Mobai for tips on it, but he could only shake his head and sigh, telling them they could only understand it by themselves.


    Everyone could only lament their lack of talent.


    In the last few days of the holiday, Chen Mobai returned to Green Mountain


    Village with his parents to visit his grandparents.


    He found a suitable place, arranged the scene a bit, and released the Azure


    Blood Carp.


    Originally he planned to just invite Yan Bingxuan over to play, but considering that it would affect her reputation, he also invited all his old classmates.


    It was like saying goodbye to his youthful self.


    ¡°The scenery here is really nice.¡±


    Shi Jingjing admired the green mountains and crystal-clear nature scenery while collecting wildflowers with Cao Yaling.


    Not far away, Song Zheng sat with a fishing rod on the water, while Mo Simin and Yan Bingxuan were starting a fire to grill fish; Lu Hongsheng was busy courting Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu¡­


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you invite your girlfriend?¡±


    Mo Simin asked inquisitively, she originally thought Qing Nu would be there too.


    ¡°She had some matters at Jumang Daoist Academy, so she left first.¡±


    Chen Mobai said as if nothing had happened.


    The day after Kong Feichen left, Qing Nu called to say she planned to improve herself and decided to return to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Chen Mobai sent her to the train station. Though Qing Nu looked a bit haggard, she was still normal. She wanted to consult her mentor about how to save her siblings from the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Let me know if there¡¯s anything I can help with.¡±


    After thanking him, Qing Nu turned and walked into the train station.


    Watching her figure disappear in front of his eyes, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡± it seems like something¡¯s on your mind?


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. Chen Mobai caught her clear gaze, hesitated for a moment, and nodded faintly.


    ¡°Can I help with anything?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan tilted her head and asked in her comforting manner.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I feel like I¡¯m lacking in strength. It would be great if I were at


    the Core Formation stage now.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mo Simin¡¯s face froze stiffly.


    She had never realized before how good he was at pretending to be humble.


    ¡°A cultivator is never satisfied, always pursuing higher realms, my aunt said


    SO.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded her head in agreement, causing Mo Simin to open her mouth wide in shock, uttering a word: ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yes, when I was practicing Qi cultivation, I thought about reaching Foundation Establishment. Now that I have reached Foundation Establishment, I look forward to Core Formation. Maybe when I really become a Gold Core cultivator, I would then worry about Nascent Soul Formation¡­


    Chen Mobai laughed and shook his head, feeling a bit greedy.


    However, this was also because he had felt the power of the genuine Gold Core cultivators. Compared to them, he was indeed too weak.


    He would take it one step at a time and strive for the small goals first.


    ¡°I believe you can do it.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan suddenly declared this, surprising Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Core Formation, Nascent Soul Formation, I believe you can reach these two realms.¡±


    ¡°You have so much faith in me?¡±


    ¡°The book says that agreeing with a friend like this generates positive


    feelings.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was honest, causing both Chen Mobai and Mo Simin to burst into laughter.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to agree with others. Just be yourself and act according to your feelings. In this way, you are the most beautiful, and the one who attracts us


    the most.¡±


    Unable to bear it, Mo Simin hugged Yan Bingxuan and said this to her good friend.


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan frowned a little, seeming surprised as she asked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    After she got the affirmative answer, she nodded, then gave a very nice smile.


    ¡°Although I was just agreeing with you, my intuition tells me that you really can reach these two realms.¡±


    ¡°What about Divinity Transformation?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan shrugged, causing a surge of competitiveness in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What if I do make it?¡±


    ¡°Then I will apologize to you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s insincere.¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡±


    Mo Simin on the side found that the conversation between the two had become strange again. She quickly pulled Yan Bingxuan away to continue grilling fish.


    ¡°The fish needs to be flipped. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Watching their graceful departing backs, Chen Mobai suddenly found his mood lightened considerably.


    The fear of the Gold Core cultivator in his heart began to dissipate, and his face brightened again.

    It seemed that it was worthwhile to release the five Azure Blood Carps this time. Thinking this, Chen Mobai came to the water¡¯s edge and sat next to Song Zheng, helping him catch one fish after another.


    He then opened two jugs of Green Mountain wine that his grandfather treasured.


    Grilled fish with wine, everyone had a great time.


    [Will you come back this year?]


    Chen Mobai, who was on the train back to Dance Tool Dao Academy, saw the message Lu Hongsheng sent him in the class group, shook his head and replied. [I am going to enter the Treasure Trove this year, it¡¯s a rare opportunity. I might spend a lot of time cultivating in the back mountain, so I won¡¯t be coming back.]

 Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Chapter 249 Farewell_3

    Chapter 283: Chapter 249 Farewell_3


    After saying this, he sighed in the solitude of his compartment.


    Not just this year, but likely for many years to come, he wouldn¡¯t be returning to Red Sandstone City.


    To buy osmanthus flowers and carry the wine, it¡¯s not the same as the adventures of youth!


    After returning to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai first went to visit Che Yucheng.


    The latter indicated that he had gotten in touch with Master Shaoyang who confirmed that a trip to the Treasure Trove should pose no problem. However, he would have to wait until after the start of school when the relevant teachers were present to be processed accordingly.


    Having waited half a year, a little bit more time didn¡¯t matter to Chen Mobai.


    After thanking Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had assumed the teacher would ask him about the Ascension Sect in Red Sandstone City, but he simply waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.


    It appeared that the Gold Core cultivator indeed could not act rashly. Even when colluding with the Ascension Sect, there had been no immediate response from the immortal sect.


    Or perhaps, the Sky-mending Group had not reported it?


    Full of curiosity, Chen Mobai enrolled in many courses for the new year. After all, he had already established his foundation, and the Daoist Academy allowed them to skip classes, requiring students only to take exams at the end of the year.


    Chen Mobai considered his energy and time, he chose three main courses: Talisman, Puppetry, and Sword Control.


    Talismans and Puppetry were standard, whereas Sword Control was aimed at improving the basic knowledge of his Sword Dao.


    Embarrassingly, even though he had already mastered Sword Rainbow Fission, he was still clueless about the first three realms of Sword Cultivation.


    In terms of Sword Dao, he was essentially building a castle in the air.


    So, he needed to enroll in the Sword Control Department.


    In addition to the three major courses, he also registered for Agricultural Studies, Herb Distinguish, Treasure Appraisal, Mineral Identification, Ink Extraction for Talisman, and Calligraphy as elective courses.


    Among these, Agricultural Studies would be crucial for his future. Whether he could make a fortune in the Tianhe Realm would depend on his mastery of this subject.


    ¡°Herb Distinguish¡± and ¡°Mineral Identification¡± were in preparation for the future production of his Liquid Gold Jade Elixir.


    After all, Giant Tree Ridge was famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness for its medicinal fields. If he wanted to collect resources in the Tianhe Realm for pill-making, he couldn¡¯t always allow his disciples to find herbs based on images.


    He needed to familiarize himself with various kinds of spirit grass in the immortal sect, translate their names into those used in the Tianhe Realm, and then instruct his disciples accordingly to avoid any risks of exposure.


    ¡°Treasure Appraisal¡± was chosen due to the thriving market for magic artifacts in the Tianhe Realm. He couldn¡¯t always rely on Wu Wanming for every new magic artifact acquisition.


    Moreover, Wu Wan was merely a rank-1 treasure appraiser, no longer able to assist him in any meaningful way.


    Ming Yuhua was always willing to help, but Chen Mobai felt he shouldn¡¯t rely on him all the time. He decided to delve into the knowledge of treasure appraisal when he had time.


    With his cultivation of Void Spirit Eye, he would be able to pick up the necessary skills in half the time.


    As for ¡°Ink Extraction for Talisman¡± and ¡°Calligraphy,¡± he chose them purely because they were easy for him.


    Even if he didn¡¯t study for a whole year, he would still be able to pass the exams and earn credits.

    If he passed all of the three major courses and six elective courses, Chen Mobai would earn 21 credits.


    There were no other requirements, he could simply exchange them for a Vermillion Fruit.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai once again dropped a drop of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew into his eyes, feeling the cool sensation as it surged into his consciousness. The two Green Paulownia Seedlings in his Purple Palace began to sway excitedly.


    However, instead of letting his divine sense absorb the power produced by the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew immediately, he waited until his Void Spirit Eye was satisfied and then allowed the Green Paulownia Seedlings to absorb it.


    After practicing his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai, with Spirit Stone in hand, promoted his Pure Yang Daoist Body. During this process, he multitasked by browsing through the Foundation Establishment section in the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll.¡±

 Chapter 284 - Chapter 284: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword

    Chapter 284: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword


    Control Department 1


    Since successfully establishing his Foundation in Longevity, Chen Mobai has devoted part of his energy to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After all, the cultivation techniques in the Tianhe realm, aren¡¯t as detailed in the Foundation Building Realm as they are in the immortal sects.


    If he wanted to advance from the early foundation stage to the mid-foundation stage, it would usually take about twenty years according to the experiences in the Tianhe realm.


    Given that the breakthrough in the Longevity would take some time, and he still had pill toxicity in his system from the Foundation Building Pill he took during his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai spent most of his time after his foundation establishment on improving his understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Under the vast knowledge of the Foundation Building Realm, he easily and thoroughly mastered the Qi Cultivation part of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, his three yang bodies had not been fully established, so even though he reached the ninth-level of Qi Cultivation, he never tried to take the step into the foundation establishment stage.


    Now, after returning from Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai felt that both his cultivation level and spiritual power have reached perfection and he was ready to take that step.


    So after he returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had Che Yucheng sign a request to exchange books for the Pure Yang Foundation Building Scroll in the library.


    However, although Che Yucheng signed the request, he proposed an intriguing suggestion.


    ¡°You¡¯re at the Foundation stage already, so you won¡¯t be called up for war unless it¡¯s a major conflict. You have enough time to cultivate. Why not try to establish your Foundation through enlightenment?¡±


    Establishing one¡¯s foundation through enlightenment!


    This was the original method of foundation establishment. In the absence of foundation building pills and other auxiliary items, ancient cultivators listen to the rhythm of nature, resonate with the elemental energy of heavens and earth, and connect their divine sense to the pulsation of the Dao, creating a perfect foundation.


    It¡¯s said that this method of building a foundation has unexpected benefits.


    As for what these benefits are, they aren¡¯t recorded in the Tianhe realm.


    But there is plenty of information about it in the Immortal sects.


    Some managed to elevate a common technique to almost a Rank-3 level during the process of foundation establishment.


    Others received a kind of permission bestowed by Heaven and Earth, capable of entering any place with water ¡ª the unparalleled Water Escape.


    Even more extraordinary cases managed to awaken the powerful bloodline of their ancestors, gaining invulnerability to fire and ice and indestructibility like a diamond. After advancing to the Gold Core stage, they even became capable of growing extra limbs, with a broad range of divine skills.


    In summary, establishing the foundation through enlightenment definitely has its benefits.


    However, the size of these benefits depends on the individual cultivator¡¯s luck. Yet even the common ones offer a powerful method capable of being used until the Gold Dan Level for foundation establishment cultivators.


    For other Qi Practitioners, unless they carry a heavenly spiritual root, they generally don¡¯t push to establish their foundation through enlightenment, as it¡¯s often unattainable.


    But Chen Mobai is different; he has the conditions for it.


    Since he was determined to use Bilateral Cultivation to increase the probability of reaching the Gold Dan stage, he was sure to cultivate the Longevity to perfection for his foundation establishment. Now that his pill toxicity had been cleansed by Kong Feichen¡¯s medicine, he could continue advancement.


    He planned to focus mainly on improving his level in the Longevity while also cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, hoping to seize an opportunity one day to establish his foundation through enlightenment.


    This was Che Yucheng¡¯s suggestion. After listening, Chen Mobai found it very reasonable.


    Whether the Pure Yang Scroll reaches foundation establishment or not wouldn¡¯t affect his position in the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, he is portrayed as a sword cultivation prodigy.


    However, Chen Mobai still spent two days reading through the Foundation Building part of the Pure Yang Scroll to get a clear understanding.


    When the term started.


    Forty-seven students from the Sword Control Department were led to the training field by their instructor.


    Among the forty-seven, nineteen were freshmen and the rest were upperclassmen who signed up for the course to earn credits. Since they hadn¡¯t taken the sword Control course before, they were all assigned to freshman classes to conserve educational resources.


    ¡°Good day to all the new students of the Sword Control Department, I am Zuo Gong.¡±


    A square-faced man of average height stood at the front of the field. Standing beside him were three other individuals. This man was the head of the Sword Control Department, a Gold Core sword cultivator, the real Zuo Gong.


    He greeted the twenty-seven new students with a gentle tone.


    ¡°As I am quite busy, courses for the first and second year students will be taught by your senior students.¡±


    ¡°The Assistant Professor of the Daoist Academy, Wu Shizheng, will be hosting the classes for third to sixth graders.¡±


    ¡°If there are any doubts that they can¡¯t answer, you can come directly to the office and askme.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the Sword Control Department¡¯s courses to be conducted in such a manner.


    In the Puppet Lines Department, Che Yucheng personally took care of the classes for all ten grades.


    But the total number of people in all ten grades of the Puppet Lines Department was probably just over a hundred, and after the seventh grade, it mainly revolved around self-study.


    Hence, Che Yucheng could easily manage it all by himself.

    The Sword Control Department was different. It¡¯s one of the top three domains in the Dance Tool Dao Academy. With the influence of popular dramas, where the protagonists were often depicted as soaring swordsmen and incredibly cool.


    Everyone wanted to be stylish, so even if they didn¡¯t sign up for the Sword Control Department at first, many would choose to study here to acquire extra credits, when they¡¯ve finished simple elective courses.


    If they truly had a talent for sword training, they would continue their studies or even skip grades.


    Because of these factors, Zuo Gong could not do as Che Yucheng did and take care of everything from start to finish by himself; hence, he had to come up with this method.


    The senior students had the opportunity to review what they had learned by teaching, allowing them to truly understand the knowledge they had learned and make it their own.

 Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword

    Chapter 285: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword


    Control Department_2


    By an uncanny coincidence, Zha Jianbai, who was in the same cohort as Chen Mobai, was assigned by Master Zuo Gong to teach the first grade this year.


    The top sword practitioner of the class of 5012!


    ¡°I will observe the first class.¡±


    After saying these words, Master Zuo Gong, with his hands behind his back, walked over and sat down on the concrete steps at the edge of the training field.


    ¡°Little Zha, don¡¯t be nervous, just follow your lesson plan.¡±


    After Wu Shizheng, the Vice Dean of the Sword Control Department and Master Zuo Gong¡¯s teaching assistant, said these words with a smile and patted Zha Jianbai on the shoulder, he paused for a moment as his gaze landed on Chen Mobai in the crowd before he chuckled, grabbed a bottle of water, and joined Master Zuo Gong.


    Zha Jianbai had a long face and, due to years of sword training, held an aura of coldness.


    He had complete confidence in himself, not at all plagued by the nervousness that Wu Shizheng had mentioned.


    ¡°As new students, I need to understand each of your foundations in Sword Dao. Grab a standardized practice flying sword and perform your proudest sword technique in front of me so I can evaluate.¡±


    Zha Jianbai carried out his planned lesson smoothly.


    One by one, eager-to show-off students stepped forward, demonstrating their well-practiced swordsmanship in the order they were called, in front of Zha Jianbai.


    When it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn, he held the standard flying sword in his hand, his expression full of hesitation.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t know any sword techniques? Then perform some beginning-level sword-wielding exercises.¡±


    Zha Jianbai mistakenly thought that Chen Mobai had solely focused on his Foundation Establishment previously and hadn¡¯t practiced any sword techniques, so he offered what he thought was a great suggestion.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just¡­ do I really need to show my most skilled sword technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, seeking further confirmation.


    Zha Jianbai frowned, what was up with this guy, how had someone so indecisive managed to establish his foundation?


    ¡°Hurry up, there are still quite a few students waiting.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, can you step back a bit?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zha Jianbai¡¯s expression turn displeased. However, considering that this guy in front of him had already achieved the Foundation Establishment, and might actually be able to demonstrate some formidable sword qi, he decided to take a couple of steps back.


    But still, Chen Mobai just looked at him, making no movements to perform his sword technique.


    ¡±What¡¯ s wrong now?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not far enough!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s far enough! No matter how powerful your sword qi, it absolutely won¡¯t be able to affect me.¡±


    Zha Jianbai finally lost his patience. Raising his voice, he gestured impatiently for Chen Mobai to stop wasting time. Yes, you¡¯ve established your foundation, but there are limits to showing off!


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll try to control my strength a bit.¡±


    Chen Mobai had always been a good student and agreed with his head nodded when his teacher asked him something.


    Grasping the standard flying sword in his hand, under the indifferent gaze of the students and the teacher, he slashed out, creating a dazzling deep purple sword light.


    ¡°Why did you come over here? Aren¡¯t you helping your disciple?¡±


    Master Zuo Gong questioned when he saw Wu Shizheng sitting down next to him.


    ¡°Although little Zha is only at the Qi Cultivation stage, his master achieved the Rainbow Sword Qi, so you can treat him like a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°As for Chen Mobai, he may have achieved Foundation Establishment, but in a real fight, he might not necessarily be a match for little Zha.¡±


    ¡°Also, the first class is only to let the students understand the divisions of the sword cultivator¡¯s realm, and to measure their swordsmanship talent on the spot. With little Zha¡¯s Rainbow Sword Qi, it should be enough to hold the fort.¡± Just as Wu Shizheng finished speaking and was about to open the bottle to take a few sips, a deep purple sword light entered his line of sight, causing him to stand up abruptly.


    My disciple has achieved Sword Rainbow Fission!


    No, wait, didn¡¯t he just comprehend Rainbow Sword Qi at the end of his vacation after failing in his attempt at Foundation Establishment?


    Upon closer look, Wu Shizheng realized that the person holding the practice flying sword and producing deep purple sword light wasn¡¯t his disciple Zha Jianbai, but Chen Mobai.


    What¡¯s going on?


    What is this guy trying to do?


    Coming here to study as a first-year?


    Is that necessary?


    With your level, you could directly skip to the seventh year of Master Zuo Gong¡¯s class, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to teach you.


    As Wu Shizheng was being stunned, Master Zuo Gong, who was originally sitting down, had a sparkle in his eyes, and disappeared from his spot.


    The head of the Sword Control Department pointed a finger at the Purple Fire Sword Light cast by Chen Mobai with his academy standard training sword.


    A sizzle sound was heard!


    Chen Mobai only felt a numbness in his wrist, the sword light he had cast was no longer under control, it turned into a string of purple flame light, caught between the fingers of Zuo Gong.


    It seemed like a fiery little snake, continuously twisting and struggling, but unable to break free.


    ¡°Not bad, this is Sword Light.¡±


    After Master Zuo Gong confirmed that what Chen Mobai had cast was indeed the Sword Light only available to the fourth realm of Sword Cultivator, he immediately frowned and criticized Chen Mobai with a displeased face.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already learned to manifest Sword Light, is there any need for you to waste time as a first-year student? Are you showing off?¡±


    ¡°Master, you misunderstood. I had requested to assess each student¡¯s swordsmanship skills, and only after much insistence did Chen Mobai manifest this Sword Light.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai quickly explained. He was left completely stunned when Chen Mobai had cast the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    At that moment, he finally understood the gap between ordinary people and geniuses!


    Compared to the real ¡°genius¡± in front of him, his so-called swordsmanship talent was just like an ordinary person.


    Although Zhai Jianbai was cold in nature, he greatly admired the strong.


    Having seen the formidable power of the Purple Fire Sword Light firsthand, he immediately saw Chen Mobai as a model to pursue.


    So upon hearing Zuo Gong¡¯s words, he immediately spoke out to explain for him.


    ¡°You, young man, tell me why you came to attend a first-year class with your Foundation Establishment realm. For the year-end exam, all you need to do is show up and you¡¯ll still get the three credits.¡±


    When Master Zuo Gong spoke, the other forty-seven newcomers found out that their senior was actually a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Many of the male and female juniors immediately looked envious, some were in awe, and others thought they could reach Foundation Establishment when they were in the fifth year, they managed to keep cool faces, but could not hide the envy in their eyes.


    ¡°Well, Teacher Zuo, although I have reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, my foundation in Sword Dao is actually unstable, like a structure built in the air. Therefore, I have to come to class to strengthen my foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that sword cultivators were notoriously grumpy. This Zuo Gong often quarreled with the principal and Che Yucheng, so he immediately told them about his situation.


    ¡°What? ¡®Achieved¡¯? You mean to tell me you got the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission when you were establishing your foundation?¡±


    Zuo Gong imagined an answer with a surprised face. This is not unprecedented, just like Yuan Yang, who had comprehended the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission when he was establishing his foundation.


    However, the reason Yuan Yang had this opportunity was that he had already developed his Rainbow Sword Qi before establishing his foundation, and then he seized the opportunity to understand Sword Rainbow Fission.


    Chen MoBai hesitated for a while and then nodded.


    After all, since the Great Dao Tree had directly given him the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, it would be better not to mention it if he could avoid it.


    He was prepared with a similar explanation, and since Zuo Gong proposed it, he simply admitted it directly.


    [Yes, I received Sword Rainbow Fission upon Foundation Establishment! ]


    After listening, Zuo Gong said with a very sour tone.


    ¡°Why wasn¡¯t God watching during my Foundation Establishment!¡±


    The opportunities during Foundation Establishment are varied and numerous. Although it was strange for a cultivator to directly receive the Sword Rainbow Fission realm without practicing sword cultivation methods, none of the people present cared about this small detail.


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste too much time below the seventh year, try to advance to my class within this year.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After knowing Chen Mobai¡¯s predicament, Zuo Gong didn¡¯t bother anymore.


    After saying this, he ended his observation for the day.


    He was quite satisfied with his grandson Zhai Jianbai, thinking that if he could achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, he might let him watch the video of the ¡°Immortal Sword Technique¡± treasured in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Now that he sees Chen Mobai, he knows that Zhai Jianbai will definitely not get this chance.


    Why did such a good seedling get taken by the sculptor?

 Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Chapter 251: Sword Destruction Collection !

    Chapter 286: Chapter 251: Sword Destruction Collection !


    Finally, after Zuo Gong¡¯s departure, Chen Mobai was able to attend his classes with peace of mind.


    However, the gaze of the junior students around him was fiery. In response, he had no choice but to speed up his learning progress.


    Under Zha Jianbai¡¯s careful guidance and the effect of his casting sword ring, Chen Mobai broke all records of the Dance Tool Dao Academy1 s Sword Control Department.


    Mastering the sword to establish Gang in one day!


    Transforming Sword Gang into Qi in three days!


    Rainbow Sword Qi in ten days!


    In just two weeks, he went from nothing to mastering the first three realms of a sword cultivator.


    Although this was partly due to his existing comprehension of Sword Rainbow Fission, regardless, he had now added ¡°Best at Sword Training¡± to his existing titles of being first in talisman and puppet cultivation, and Agricultural Studies.


    Regarding this, Zha Jianbai, the previous champion of Sword Training, had no complaints.


    After all, it is fitting that conversation amongst sword cultivators is conducted via their swords.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao Realm was stronger than his, it was natural that Chen Mobai would take the first place.


    The Sword Control Department consists of ten classes in total, varying from low to high. The first year mainly teaches ¡± Sword Training to become Gang,¡± and the second year teaches ¡°Sword Gang Transforming Qi¡±.


    Because Chen Mobai mastered the sword to establish Gang in one day, he graduated on the same day he attended the first class of the first year.


    The rest of the forty-six classmates in the same class were astonished at this, but they also merely felt that it was expected since Chen Mobai was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. They all believed it was only natural for him to achieve such feats standing on a higher plane.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai skipped to the second year and graduated in three days¡­


    Then came ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi,¡± equivalent to the strength of a foundation establishment, which was set by Zuo Gong to be taught over four academic years from the third to the sixth year. The one teaching this section was his disciple cum teaching assistant, Wu Shizheng.


    It is from this realm that one starts to distinguish whether or not they have a talent for sword cultivation.


    Generally, only a few among a hundred people can pass and successfully earn the credits for this course.


    Even those who managed to cultivate the ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± have gone through failure at this stage, reaping the results after much accumulation and preparation.


    Because of this, when Zha Jianbai managed to cultivate the ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± during his fourth year, he was seen as a sword cultivation genius by everyone in the Sword Control Department.


    The subsequent ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± belongs to the seventh-year curriculum. The assistant professor of the Sword Control Department, Wu Shizheng, has only attained this level.


    For a sword cultivator at this level to improve further, only Zuo Gong was qualified to teach them.


    In other words, within just two weeks, Chen Mobai had jumped from the first year of the Sword Control Department to the seventh year.


    For those first-year students who had witnessed Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light, although they had braced themselves, they were still incredibly shocked when they heard the news.


    However, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too thrilled about this.


    If it weren¡¯t for Zuo Gong¡¯s promise that he would be credited for his skip-levels at the end of the term, he would have opted to enjoy his six years at the Sword Control Department.


    After all, as long as he appeared for the end-term examinations, he was confident of securing the credits.


    However, since he had the opportunity to acquire credits for six academic years of the Sword Control Department in advance, Chen Mobai also agreed not to waste time in the lower years. He immediately skipped to the seventh year of the Sword Control Department.


    However, he did not stay in the seventh year for long and was directly kicked out of the Sword Control Department by Zuo Gong.


    That¡¯s because the Sword Control Department mainly instructs on the realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± from the seventh to the tenth year.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of this realm was no less than Zuo Gong¡¯s.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything left to teach you. You¡¯ve graduated.¡±


    With a sigh, Zuo Gong inspected Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao foundation, and gave him his graduation certificate.


    ¡°Wait, Teacher Zuo, aren¡¯t you a Gold Core sword cultivator? Your Sword Dao realm is far above mine; there must be something you can teach me.¡±


    Chen Mobai, scratching his head as he looked at the Diploma from the Dance Tool Dao Academy for the Sword Control Department, was hesitant to leave the office. He stared at Zuo Gong, thinking about the tuition fees he had paid this year and hoping not to waste them.


    ¡°You¡¯ve mastered Binding Sword and Solidifying Light, Sword Light Differentiation, becoming one with the sword, and Sword Control to become immortal; you just need to practice more and gain more experience with these techniques.¡±


    ¡°However, there has been peace for the past hundred years in the immortal world without any wars. Even I don¡¯t have anywhere to sharpen my sword skills. What you have learned is already sufficient.¡±


    ¡°Beyond this is the fifth realm of sword cultivation, Sword Light Solidifying Demons.¡±


    ¡°This depends on which sword technique you¡¯re cultivating, what direction you plan to develop in the future, and then spending a substantial amount of Good Deed Points or joining relevant departments in the immortal world to find suitable demonic qi.¡±


    ¡°I cultivated Geng Metal Sword Sha, which doesn¡¯t match your cultivation technique or Spiritual Root. At most, I can give some suggestions based on experience. Here, add my contact info, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions about sword cultivation.¡±


    Zuo Gong also felt that neglecting the guidance of a sword cultivation genius like Chen Mobai would be a shame. Hence, he accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s friend request and sent over his insights and experiences from his sword cultivation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon receiving it, Chen Mobai scrutinized it carefully, only to realize that these were just the textbooks from the first to the tenth year of the Sword Control Department!


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, considering I graduated under your guidance, if Teacher Che asks me what I learned in your class, what should I say?¡±


    Chen Mobai, holding his graduation certificate and sighing, thought about Che Yucheng¡¯s previous advice. He made a long face and refused to leave.


    Upon hearing this, Zuo Gong¡¯s eyebrows twitched.


    He pondered that indeed, if this kid went around the academy claiming that he learned nothing in the Sword Control Department, wouldn¡¯t it make it seem as if Zuo Gong had nothing important to impart?

    In the end, Zuo Gong sent him an electronic version of a book called ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±, containing all the Sword Sha techniques he had collected from the immortal sects.


    Chen Mobai glanced at it, slightly disdainful.


    The sequel development of his Red Flame Sword Jue is ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±!


    So this stuff is of no use to him, moreover, due to the lack of resources in the immortal sect, only thirteen of the seventy-two types of Evil Qi of the earth can be collected.


    Among the thirteen types of Evil Qi of the earth, six are on the verge of extinction and are not allowed to be mined and extracted for refining spells or Sword Sha.


    In other words, the Evil Qi that the immortal sect can use for refining is only of seven types.


    Although the Evil Qi of the earth can be combined with different Sword light to generate thousands of Sword Sha, in fact, the highest cost-effective and strong fighting ones are those that can be counted on fingers.


    ¡°Go to the last section.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s undisguised expression, Zuo Gong irritably told him to directly look at the results of his lifelong research.


    Chen Mobai oh¡¯d and turned to the last section:


    [The feasibility of multiple Sword Sha complementing each other and forming a Sword Devil Array]


    Surprised by the beginning, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but read on.


    Generally speaking, sword cultivators only condense one kind of Sword Sha, because they need to specialize in one, so that they can cultivate the ultimate realm of sword Dao, ¡°one sword shatters all laws¡±.


    For many sword cultivators, especially those in the immortal sect, only a few can actually cultivate Sword Sha.


    Generally speaking, out of ten Gold Core sword cultivators, only one or two have enough resources and strength to get the Evil Qi of the earth, and condense all their sword light into Sword Sha.


    The rest of the sword cultivators can only buy one or two Sword Sha to symbolize that they have entered the fifth realm of sword cultivation.


    Under these circumstances, Zuo Gong thought about whether they could use these one or two Sword Sha to play a might as strong as that of the full Sword Sha.


    In addition to being a sword cultivator, Zuo Gong himself is also a Rank-3 array master. He studied ground arrays deeply, collected all Sword Sha techniques circulated in the market of the immortal sect, and finally wrote this ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±.


    Two Rites Sword Devil, Triple Interplay Sword Devil, Four Poles Sword Devil, Five Elements Sword Devil, Six Controls Sword Devil, Seven-Star Sword Devil, Desolated Eightfold Sword Devil, Ninty Heavens Sword Devil.


    From one to nine, all have corresponding ideas and a substantial theoretical foundation, but now Zuo Gong only completed the simplest Two Rites Sword Devil and Five Elements Sword Devil.


    In addition to those, due to a lack of corresponding Evil Qi for experiments, others are still in paper form.


    ¡°Since the publication of the Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill, apart from a few old friends who have discussed it together, you are the first student I have ever given it to. I hope that one day you will complete all the Sword Devil arrays I have envisioned.¡±


    When saying this, Zuo Gong also sighed deeply.


    If possible, he really wanted to personally complete all the theories in the Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have enough funds, and those above him were not willing to allocate the budget.


    Zuo Gong understood very well. After all, there were many more important experiments ahead of this one.


    Perhaps, when war breaks out, the theories in the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± will be valued by the immortal sect.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Zuo.¡±


    After reading, Chen Mobai happily left Zuo Gong¡¯s office with his diploma, went upstairs and arrived at Che Yucheng¡¯s office.


    ¡°How was it?¡±


    Che Yucheng asked.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo really gave me his final powerful technique.¡±


    Chen Mobai happily told Che Yucheng about the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±.


    ¡°You, you¡¯re still too young.¡±


    Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Che Yucheng sighed deeply.


    ¡°The Sword Destruction Collection is not even necessary to prove in the immortal sect. Zuo Gong has an image of a sword technique of the immortal sect, which is the most valuable thing in the Sword Control Department of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I originally wanted you to take a look at this, who knows, you might even comprehend some mysteries of ¡®one sword breaks ten thousand laws¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked regretful, as if he had truly been fooled by Zuo Gong.


    In fact, he was thinking that there could be many kinds of Evil Qi in the Tianhe Realm. Later, he would go to the Book Pavilion to check some information, or ask in the Technique Transfer Department.


    After all, he is now a peerless sword cultivation genius under the attention of the sect leader. It is a very normal thing to prepare for Sword Sha in advance.


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t it said that only the three Hall Masters can practice the sword technique of the immortal sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai skillfully changed the subject.


    He was well acquainted with the ¡°Immortal Gate Sword Technique,¡± one of the seven Divinity Transformation Techniques.


    This is the symbol of the Immortal Gate¡¯s master, embodying the strongest breakthrough, combat, and killing force.


    ¡°The third-generation Kaiyuan Hall Master hailed from our Dance Tool Dao Academy. During his return visit to his alma mater, he demonstrated the Immortal Gate Sword Technique atop Crimson Mountain,¡±


    explained Che Yucheng. Chen Mobai acknowledged this with a sound of understanding.


    However, he felt that with his current realm, observing the Immortal Gate Sword Technique wouldn¡¯t yield much benefit.


    The ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± might be more useful, possibly even allowing him to shine in the Tianhe Realm.


    Maybe when he reaches Core Formation in the future, he could ask Zuo Gong to see the Immortal Gate Sword Technique. Zuo Gong wouldn¡¯t refuse him, right?


    If Zuo Gong refused, Chen could always attempt to contend for one of the three Great Hall Master seats.


    His biggest childhood dream was to become the master of the Immortal Gate, after all!


    Right now, his short-term goal was to attain Perfection in Foundation Establishment, the long-term goal, for the time being, was set on this.


    Thinking this to himself, Chen Mobai asked Che Yucheng about entering the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°You¡¯re lucky, all procedures are already complete. Take this, Shao Yang will be waiting at the rear mountain¡¯s entrance tomorrow.¡±


    As Che Yucheng spoke, he handed Chen Mobai a recommendation letter stamped with the official seal of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡±


    Chen Mobai genuinely thanked the old man before him, knowing that without Che Yucheng¡¯s intervention, he wouldn¡¯t have been recommended so easily, and he would¡¯ve also been delayed by the Academy¡¯s related procedures.


    ¡°Prepare some clean clothes and toiletries. The Treasure Trove has a Rank-5 Spirit Vein. Although most of the spiritual energy is used to cultivate Magic Artifacts, if you¡¯re lucky, you might find a lower-grade Rank-4 Cave Dwelling for cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng reminded Chen Mobai about what he needed to pay attention to in the Treasure Trove. Chen listened attentively, taking mental notes.


    When he returned home in the evening,


    He put his belongings in the storage bag, then put the bag into his backpack. He stuffed some clothes in there as camouflage before transporting himself to the Tianhe Realm.


    Standing atop Xiao Nanshan, a place he hadn¡¯t visited in a long time, Chen Mobai felt supremely relaxed as he inhaled the fresh, natural air.


    He activated the array and arrived halfway up the mountain.


    With his gold-rimmed glasses bought from Red Sandstone City, he looked down at the overturned and re-graded Spirit Fields, nodding in satisfaction.


    Zhuo Ming was quite competent. Some Spirit Fields were even fully sown already.


    Some fields had been planted with Gold Edge Bamboo ¨C the only Rank-2 Spirit Rice planting method known to the Divine Wood Sect.


    First, bamboo is grown. Once the bamboo sprouts, the grains are sealed inside using a special method. Ten years later, when the bamboo is split open, the mature Jade Bud Lingmi absorbs the bamboo¡¯s fragrant spiritual energy, transforming it into Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    The only downside is that the bamboo withers after the Spirit Rice is harvested.


    This is essentially the same concept as picking bamboo fruits.


    This planting method was acquired by the Divine Wood Sect in a heavy cost auction at a grand bazaar event before they separated from the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai felt there should be a better way.


    The Rank-2 Water Clear Rice from his old home, Green Mountain Village, only took six years to mature.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice had a complicated planting process and a long maturation time of ten years. It definitely needed improvement.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare bring out mature cereal seeds from the Immortal Gate that had been improved over thousands of years.


    Because in the Tianhe realm, the high-ranked Spirit Rice was the lifeline of the major trade guilds. If it suddenly appeared, it would likely be targeted.


    The only Grade-3 Spirit Rice seeds in the Eastern Wasteland could be purchased and planted only with permission from Back To Sky Valley.


    Even though Back To Sky Valley purchases cereals from the Star Heaven trade guild every year at great expense, the returns after the harvest are even greater. Moreover, the trading of this Rank-3 Spirit Rice only accepts high-grade Spirit Stones.

 Chapter 288 - Chapter 288: Chapter 252: Dividing the Treasure_l

    Chapter 288: Chapter 252: Dividing the Treasure_l


    Just as Chen Mobai was watching the flow of spiritual energy in Xiao Nanshan¡¯s sixty acres of fertile land, Zhuo Ming, who had received his sound transmission talisman, had already arrived.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming came with a straw hat on her head, a bamboo basket slung over her right arm, and bare feet. Despite her feet being fair and clean, Chen Mobai could see that the hems of her trousers were speckled with mud.


    It seemed that when she came over, she was barefoot in the field, checking the newly planted seedlings.


    After receiving his summon, although she had washed her feet, the rolled up hems of her trousers were still wet, indicating the signs of her recent busyness.


    ¡°Stand up, you have been working hard these days.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very pleased with his disciple. Although many in the Divine Wood Sect could not understand why this promising genius had chosen an ordinary Qi Cultivation disciple, had he chosen someone with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and asked him to plough the soil and nurture seedlings, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have found such an obedient and diligent disciple as Zhuo Ming.


    Putting all else aside, if he had asked his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, to farm, although he would not refuse, he would certainly have his reservations.


    Sometimes, disciples like Zhuo Ming, who come from a hardship-borne Loose Cultivator background, are better behaved and more understanding.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard work, especially since it helps my cultivation.¡±


    Zhuo Ming got up and showcased her cultivation of the Mother Earth Scripture. In half a year, she had reached the third level of Qi Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai nodded, asked her some questions concerning cultivation. Having twice undergone the process of changing the Qi Cultivation Technique, he was very familiar with it.


    Although converting Wood Attribute spiritual power into Earth Attribute entails first transforming it into Fire Attribute spiritual power, thereby inevitably resulting in partial loss of spiritual power.


    However, Zhuo Ming, due to her excellent Earth Spirit Root, and the earth energy from the sixty-acre Spirit Field, had compensated for the lost Longevity Spiritual Power and even made her experience a rapid increase in levels and a breakthrough for the first time.


    The reason why she only managed to recover to the third level of Qi Cultivation in half a year is not because she lost too much during the transition but because she deliberately suppressed her progress.


    In actual fact, there is still 70% of the unconverted Longevity Spiritual Power in Zhuo Ming¡¯s Dantian Qi sea.


    ¡°Mmm, the fact that you can maintain a calm and steady attitude will increase your chances of successful Foundation Establishment in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming¡¯s pulse, probed the state of the spiritual power in her body, and nodded with satisfaction.


    Even though all cultivators are at Qi Cultivation Perfection and have the aid of Foundation Building Pills, why is it that of the 24 true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, only a handful can successfully establish their foundations?


    The gap is in these details.


    Understanding of Cultivation Technique, refinement of spiritual power, nurturing of the spirit and so forth. If there is a flaw in any of these aspects, it may prevent successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    As the Teacher and Disciple were discussing about sowing and transplanting seedlings, Liu Wenbo, who had received the news, arrived.


    ¡°Come, follow me up.¡±


    With both disciples present, he could proceed with the division of treasures.


    Arriving at the wooden house at the peak of the mountain, Zhuo Ming immediately went in and brought out a chair. Chen Mobai took the seat without delay.


    ¡°During my retreat, I made some progress in Sword Dao¡­.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Master.¡±


    Without Chen Mobai completing his sentence, both disciples were already beaming with joy, more excited than he was.


    However, this was understandable as in the Tianhe Realm, the master-disciple bond is even more intimate than the blood bond.


    A high-ranking cultivator lives for hundreds or even thousands of years. The longer one lives, the distant their relatives and descendants become, and disciples who remain by their side often become closest.


    ¡°These Magic Artifacts were used by me during my Qi Cultivation period. I no longer need them, so I am giving them to you guys.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t beat around the bush. He was going to the Treasure Trove tomorrow and time was running out so he got straight to the point.


    With a sweep of his large sleeve, four spiritual lights flew out, landing in front of each disciple.


    Zhuo Ming received a dark golden needle box and a wooden umbrella, while Liu Wenbo was presented with a green kerchief and a brass ring.


    Both disciples were even more delighted, but they seemed somewhat embarrassed.


    ¡°You can both have them.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s words, both disciples gleefully accepted the Magic Artifacts in front of them.


    ¡°Wen Bo, your Green Kerchief is a Rank-1 intermediate grade Defensive Magic Weapon. It can be controlled by a very simple method, all you need to do is inject it with spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°However, this brass ring is one of the things that contributed to my success in the Sword Dao Realm.¡±


    ¡°Today, I am giving it to you in hopes that you too will achieve success in Sword Dao.¡±


    With that, Chen Mobai explained the history of the Casting Sword Ring to the two.


    Learning that it was a secret treasure for Sword Training passed down by Golden Cliff, Liu Wenbo could not help showing a moving gesture, and excitedly paid his respects to Chen Mobai.


    This was a lineal inheritance!


    Chen Mobai really regarded him as a true disciple.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Stand up, however, one¡¯s progress in Sword Dao depends on their talent. Your main goal now is still to achieve Perfection in Qi Cultivation and strive to get a good ranking in this year¡¯s sect competition.¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Chen Mobai pulled Liu Wenbo up using his spiritual power.


    During the sect competition at the end of last year, although Chen Mobai was meeting with friends and relatives in Red Sandstone City, he took two days off to watch the competition in Divine Wood City and had a few drinks with Qi Ruiyuan and Chi Ye, his old friends.


    Unfortunately, Liu Wenbo¡¯s accumulation was not enough, and he was eliminated before the final two rounds of the competition.


    Since the disciples who were deemed true disciples by the previous generation all took the Foundation Building Pill when the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened. The ones who failed had no choice but to go out and fight for the position of True Disciple once again. That is why last year¡¯s Sect competition was more intense than the previous ones.

 Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: Chapter 252 Divide the Treasure 2

    Chapter 289: Chapter 252 Divide the Treasure 2


    But without Chen Mobai, an extraordinary being capable of suppressing all heroes with a single sword, Mu Yuan took the first place without any dispute. As for his other disciple, Zhuo Ming, her participation was for gaining experience.


    She was eliminated in the first round.


    However, her opponent knew that this chubby-faced junior sister at Qi cultivation third stage was last year¡¯s top real-world student and the new Foundation Establishment elder Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple, and was lenient, just pushing her off the stage.


    The most regrettable was Qi Rui.


    He, along with Liu Wenbo, followed Xi Jinghuo to the Golden Cliff for further training. He felt that his swordsmanship had improved, and he believed he was at the peak of Qi cultivation in both talisman and swordcraft, but unfortunately, he ran into Feng Hongxue, who had failed the Foundation Establishment and had to start again, and still fell before reaching the real- world stage.


    However, after this battle, Qi Rui was full of confidence.


    Because Feng Hongxue also lost in the next round to Qi Hou after a life-and- death struggle with him, this means that he indeed has the strength of the real world.


    There are still five years left. He is confident that he can achieve the real-world status and obtain a Foundation Building Pill in the year when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures.


    Teacher, I will not disappoint you, this year I must become a real-world practitioner.¡±


    Liu Wenbo put on the brass ring, injected his spiritual power according to the method taught by Chen Mobai, and felt the evolution of the Sword Qi, full of confidence.


    His Longevity Spiritual Power has shown signs of breaking through to Qi Cultivation¡¯s 9th stage, at which time, combined with the casting sword ring, he can complete the family¡¯s secret skill, the BiBo Sword Qi.


    Even if he can¡¯t suppress all the real-world practitioners with one sword like his teacher Chen Mobai, he must at least occupy a real-world position and not disgrace his teacher.


    Liu Wenbo, who believes he has inherited Chen Mobai¡¯s mantle, quietly resolved his decision in his heart.


    Zhuo Ming also looked envious on the side. Who would like to farm if they can defeat the enemy with one sword?


    This needle box¡¯s magic artifact refinement technique is¡­¡±


    After telling Liu Wenbo about the refinement methods of his two magic artifacts, Chen Mobai turned to talk about Zhuo Ming¡¯s two artifacts.


    Zhuo Ming, who received such precious magic artifacts for the first time, had all of her attention drawn by the needle box and the five-phase umbrella¡¯. When she heard that the five-phase umbrella was a rank-1 top-grade defense magic weapon, she was shocked and opened her mouth wide.


    ¡°Master, this is too valuable.¡±


    Defense magic artifacts of the same grade are at least one level higher in price than attack magic artifacts and must be at least one-third higher.


    If you put the casting sword ring and the five-phase umbrella together for a cultivator to choose from, everyone except the sword cultivators would choose the five-phase umbrella.


    ¡°Among my disciples, you are the weakest, so take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s truthful words did not discourage Zhuo Ming at all.


    She joyfully held the wooden umbrella in her hand, inserted her spiritual power into the handle using the new refinement method she had learned, and opened the umbrella with a ¡°pap¡± sound.


    ¡°Wen Bo, give it a try.¡±


    Upon the master¡¯s order, Liu Wenbo raised his thumb, where he just put on the casting sword ring, and conjured a gush of blue Sword Qi, slashing at the surface of the five-phase umbrella.


    A rustling noise, like the sound of rain falling on the umbrella, resonated. Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t feel the pressure of the Sword Qi, but her face turned pale.


    Her spiritual power was about to be drained.


    Chen Mobai immediately helped her to close the five-phase umbrella.


    ¡°You should be barely able to control it when you reach the sixth stage of Qi cultivation.¡±


    Zhuo Ming took a moment to rest. Holding the five-phase umbrella, her face was crimson and filled with joy.


    ¡°When you have a chance in the future, get familiar with the refining techniques of these two magical tools. Both the needle box and the five-phase umbrella are magical tools that require much experience to use.¡±


    In the past, Chen Mobai had displayed quite a few tricks using these two magical artifacts.


    Zhuo Ming, a cultivator born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, had also experienced many magic duels and had spent several years coming and going in the cloud dream marsh.


    She should be able to break through to the latter stage of Qi cultivation after her Longevity Spiritual Power is completely transformed. At that time, with these two magic tools, she might make it to the third round of the sect competition. ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After the two disciples thanked him again, Chen Mobai earnestly asked if they had any confusion in their cultivation.


    Liu Wenbo was ready to ask for advice on breaking through to the ninth stage of Qi cultivation, and Zhuo Ming, who was practicing earth spiritual power for the first time, had also accumulated many questions.


    After Chen Mobai finished answering all the questions, he discovered that it was already dusk.


    Knowing their master¡¯s fondness for food and drinks, Zhuo Ming went down the mountain to pick up some fresh bamboo shoots, and Liu Wenbo caught some Spirit Fish kept in the paddy fields. They both showed off their skills by making a lot of dishes.


    Chen Mobai even opened a jar of last year¡¯s Jade Bud Spirit Wine.


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence.¡±


    Just as the three disciples were about to start eating, a green light fell from the sky, and Yuan Chiye descended from the heavens, smiling at the lavish banquet before him.


    ¡°Come on, we were just missing a drinking buddy.¡±


    On seeing Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately invited him over.


    Though his two disciples were pretty good, their status was a generation lower, making them a bit restrained when drinking with him. The arrival of Yuan Chiye was perfect.


    I thought of catching up with you before leaving the sect, but didn¡¯t expect to make it in time for such a good meal.¡±


    ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re going back to Yun Meng Ze?¡±


    Not exactly. A Sapphire vein within the territory of Lei Nation was found to have accompanying Spirit Stones. This could be a miniature Spirit Stone mine. The six major cultivation families in the area had been keeping it a secret, not reporting it. Several people died when they divided the benefits unequally amongst themselves and the local sect¡¯s town guard discovered their plot.¡± Yuan Chiye explained his mission briefly.


    Although he had already achieved Foundation Establishment, he still had not paid off all the contributions and Spirit Stones he owed to the sect, so he accepted this task given out by the Spirit Vein department.


    ¡°Are you going alone?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a little worried, since all families who are treated as cultivation families by the Divine Wood Sect had Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there.


    ¡°I¡¯m just going to assist the town guard of Lei Nation¡¯s sect and investigate the production output of that Spirit Stone mine. The sect has already informed Brother Zhou about this matter. He will also depart from Yun Meng Ze with some people and head to Lei Nation. The worst-case scenario would be the sect taking action and wiping out the six cultivation families.¡±


    Yuan Chiye spoke casually while discussing all this.


    For cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, annihilating sects seemed to be an everyday occurrence.


    However, according to the rules of Immortal Sects, every resource, above and below the earth, is national property and must be reported immediately upon discovery.


    As Lei Nation is a secular force of the Divine Wood Sect and they discovered a


    Spirit Stone Mine, it naturally belongs to their sect.


    ¡°Then I wish you a successful journey.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m borrowing your good luck. Oh, Sister Yan discovered a Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling, but she can¡¯t break the array by herself. She wants to invite three fellow sect members to help. She came to me, but I just accepted this task in Lei Nation. If you¡¯re interested, you can invite her for a talk.¡±


    As Yuan Chiye left, he gave Chen Mobai some information.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, but deep down he didn¡¯t want to leave at all.


    He was very comfortable staying here in Giant Tree Ridge, and he was just about to enter the Treasure Trove. Whoever wants to go to a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling can go.


    After Yuan Chiye left, the two disciples had already tidied up the mess of plates and cups on the mountain top.


    ¡°I have come to some realizations and need to seclude myself for a short period. Unless it¡¯s really necessary, don¡¯t disturb me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming looked at each other.


    Why did their master have another realization?


    Up to now, neither of them had experienced such profound insights.


    Obviously, they, being ordinary humans, could not compare to their master who was an exceptional genius.


    After the two with respectful expressions left down the mountain, the Cloud Mist Array started again, blocking off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The next day, when Yan Jinye, who came for a visit, heard Zhuo Ming¡¯s words, she could only regretfully go find another senior sister, while looking at him with admiration.


    At the back mountain of Crimson City.


    Chen Mobai, carrying a backpack, handed over the recommendation form in his hand to a tall young man with sword-like eyebrows and a robust physique.


    ¡°I am Qin Beichen.¡±


    The man who spoke was none other than Chen Mobai¡¯s official mentor at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the Real Man of Shaoyang, Qin Beichen.

 Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: Chapter 253: The Real Shaoyang l

    Chapter 290: Chapter 253: The Real Shaoyang l


    ¡°Hello, Master Qin.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted politely.


    ¡°Follow me. The Formation in the Treasure Trove is quite powerful. It requires a Gold Core Master to lead the way in order to enter.¡±


    Qin Beichen sized up Chen Mobai, nodded slightly, and turned to lead the way. The two arrived at the back mountain of Crimson City, one after the other.


    Here lies a canyon among the mountains. One could see streams flowing down from the tops of the mountains and lush trees amongst it, surrounded by green grass with multicolored flowers.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Qin Beichen led Chen Mobai to the center of the canyon.


    Looking down, it was a massive pit of unknown depth.


    The entrance of the hole was about a hundred meters in diameter with a steep wall. Numerous tunnels were dug into the sides, though their destination were unknown.


    ¡°So, this is the Treasure Trove?¡±


    The place only existed in legends with no images or videos for reference online. Seeing it for the first time, Chen Mobai found it quite ordinary.


    ¡°This place was originally an abandoned Spirit Stone Mine left over from the prehistoric Daoist regime. Despite its rich Spiritual Energy, it initially only had Rank-3 Spirit Veins.¡±


    ¡°One of the five ancestors of the immortal Dao, Ancestor Yunya, discovered this place. He perceived the mystery under the Spirit Stone Mine, used the Heaven Reaching Great Method to penetrate through the layers of the mine, and found the first Vermillion Fruit Tree within the underground currents.¡± ¡°Below the currents, he discovered the Red Iron Mine. Unsatisfied, Yunya kept drilling through the earth crust until he finally reached the core of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein and found a Rank-5 Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.¡±


    ¡°Later, Yunya established the Dance Tool Dao Academy here to pass down his Daoist Lineage and Great Method.¡±


    As Qin Beichen spoke, he stretched out his hand and unfolded a misty cloud. It encircled the both of them, and they levitated, descending towards the underground cavern.


    At that moment, a red glow rose from the depths of the Treasure Trove. Chen Mobai felt a horrifying temperature that could potentially turn him into ashes.


    ¡°This is Fire Godlight, the inheritance of our Dance Tool Dao Academy, a defensive prohibition laid by a Divinity Transformation Elder. Even a Nascent Soul Master wouldn¡¯t dare to trespass rashly.¡±


    As Qin Beichen spoke, Chen Mobai watched as the red divine light descended upon them.


    Qin Beichen flashed his teacher ID, while Chen Mobai promptly took out his student ID stored in his bag.


    After the Fire Godlight scanned their proof of identity, it halted before them.


    Qin Beichen quickly produced the official, stamped recommendation letter. The Fire Godlight, seemingly sentient, scanned the document. After verifying its authenticity, it slowly dissipated.


    A sparkle of fire came to life.


    Chen Mobai watched as the recommendation paper in Qin Beichen¡¯s hand suddenly ignited. Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    This meant that his identity had been registered into the Fire Godlight and, within this year, he could come and go from the Treasure Trove freely with his student ID.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to meet the manager of the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Wrapping them in his misty light, Qin Beichen began to descend. Chen Mobai felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy get denser and denser. After descending about three hundred meters, he peeked through his gold-rimmed glasses; they were already at Rank-3.


    And this was just the beginning.


    As they kept descending, around one thousand meters deep, Chen Mobai found that energy shown on his glasses had reached Rank-3 of the intermediate grade¡­


    When they hit three thousand meters, the Spiritual Energy Value had reached the lower level of Rank-4.


    The temperature outside was increasing. Even with Qin Beichen¡¯s misty light to shield him, he could not help but sweat.


    And they were yet to reach the bottom. Not until they were twenty-eight thousand meters deep, did Chen Mobai¡¯s right lens suddenly crack from the middle.


    The glasses could only measure Spiritual Energy Value up to the upper levels of Rank-4.


    Apparently, the concentration of Spiritual Energy here had exceeded Rank-4, reaching Rank-5.


    Chen Mobai did not dare to act rashly and stayed under Qin Beichen¡¯s protection, watching the crack on the lens grow longer.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Finally, Qin Beichen¡¯s voice echoed.


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh of relief and stopped to take off his glasses when¡­ There was a ¡®snap¡¯!


    Unable to bear the pressure, the lens shattered. Half of it flew out of the cloud of misty light.


    Then, Chen Mobai watched as the lens instantly vaporized.


    The temperature outside was so high that a human couldn¡¯t possibly endure it.


    Hovering mid-air, he looked down to see a lava flow beneath him. The scorching atmosphere filled his surroundings.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why one needed a Gold Core Master to come here.


    If one were to be careless at the depths of the Treasure Trove, even a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment could face danger.


    Qin Beichen used his misty cloud to take Chen Mobai toward the center of the lava. Soon, they arrived above a dark red island in the middle of the lava.


    Strangely enough, Chen Mobai, who had been feeling quite hot, felt a sense of coolness as soon as he set foot on the island.

    Looking around, the island was not very large, about two to three thousand square meters.


    The center of the island was dominated by a fiery red Vermillion Fruit Tree, laden with plump Vermillion Fruit. Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Was this the only Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree in the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    He followed Qin Beichen to a stone house under the tree.


    A red-haired woman stood there..

 Chapter 291 - Chapter 291: Chapter 253 True Man of Shaoyang_2

    Chapter 291: Chapter 253 True Man of Shaoyang_2


    Qin Beichen beheld her and made an extremely respectful bow.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu, it¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    The woman with fiery red hair was average in terms of facial features, with slightly darkened skin, but her curvaceous figure, thin waist, long legs, and exceptional height (almost comparable to Qin Beichen) made her stand out.


    She was Duanmu Longrong, the caretaker of the Treasure Trove, as well as the deputy principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Hmm, this is your student, right?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong turned her head, sized up Chen Mobai, and he immediately bowed in greeting.


    ¡°Take this.¡±


    A small, dark, red iron piece, about the size of a thumb, flew out of Duanmu Longrong¡¯s hand and fell in front of Chen Mobai, who immediately accepted it with thanks.


    It was a ¡°Device Piece¡±.


    As a key, it could be used to unlock magic artifacts nurtured in the Treasure Trove.


    A ¡°Device Piece¡± could unlock one magical artifact.


    As for the type of magic artifact that can be unlocked, it would all depend on one¡¯s luck and fate.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Duanmu. I¡¯ll take him up now.¡±


    After Qin Beichen had completed his duty, he did not linger. He activated his cloud energy once more, wrapping Chen Mobai and himself within, and swiftly returned to the cave entrance at the back of Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Since I¡¯m your mentor, I should take this rare opportunity to fulfill my responsibilities.¡±


    Qin Beichen led Chen Mobai to a pavilion at the back of the mountain. After they sat down, he initiated the conversation by asking if Chen Mobai had any doubts.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that the Treasure Trove nurtures over 10,000 magic artifacts? Why didn¡¯t I see any?¡±


    Before arriving, Che Yucheng had only told Chen Mobai the most basic details, such as the ¡°Device Piece¡± and the ¡°Fire Godlight¡±. It would be a missed opportunity not to ask questions of his mentor who was obviously a long-time resident of the back mountain.


    ¡°Do you know the origins of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    After receiving an affirmative answer from Chen Mobai, Qin Beichen conjured a white jade sphere, about the size of a human skull, and passed it over to him.


    It seemed that this mentor also possessed a storage space of at least the sphere¡¯s dimension.


    He was just curious whether it was a magic artifact, or perhaps a personal void space refined directly from a Void Stone.


    While his mind was on other matters, Chen Mobai asked about the origin of the white jade sphere in a curious manner.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°This is a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. It is made from crushed Spirit Stone mixed with other spiritual mineral materials to cultivate magic artifacts. After it is filled with specially made Spiritual Water, a magic artifact can be placed inside. This ensures that the artifact will not decay or decline in grade even when not cultivated by a cultivator.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such an artifact. He held it in his hand and turned it around. Indeed, he found a groove about the size of a fingernail on one side of the Device Nurturing Sphere, perfectly designed to fit a Device Piece.


    ¡°The artifacts in the Treasure Trove were sealed and placed there by graduates of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Those cultivators returned here before their imminent death to personally place their proudest artifacts inside.¡±


    ¡°As for the specific location of an artifact within the Treasure Trove, the Daoist Academy does not deliberately search for them. And so, over thousands of years, it¡¯s become possible to find a Device Nurturing Sphere anywhere within the Treasure Trove.¡±


    ¡°The way to unlock a Device Nurturing Sphere is through a ¡®Device Piece¡¯. Throughout the year, as long as your body can bear it, you can search the Treasure Trove countless times. However, you only have one chance to choose and take away a Device Nurturing Sphere for unlocking.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face reflected enlightenment.


    However, another question soon arose in his mind.


    ¡°Looking at this ¡®Device Piece¡¯, it doesn¡¯t seem difficult to forge. Has no one tried it?¡±


    According to the previous experience of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, a true cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could find four or five Device Nurturing Spheres in the Treasure Trove over a year. Most people would wait until the end of the term, then choose to unlock the one they were most confident in.


    So, had anyone ever cracked the code of the ¡®Device Piece¡¯?


    ¡°Do you think that a Device Nurturing Sphere is opened with this ¡®Device Piece¡¯?¡±


    Qin Beichen shook his head. Suddenly, an additional ¡®Device Piece¡¯ identical to Chen Mobai¡¯s appeared in his hand, and then he inserted it directly into the Device Nurturing Sphere in front of him.


    With a crisp crack!


    A red glow ascended from afar, resembling a long dragon of flames which flew into the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    Subsequently, the white jade sphere the size of a skull turned into ashes in an instant, scattering across the ground, revealing a palm-sized red mist.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually another ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯.¡±


    When Qin Beichen shook his head and sighed, Chen Mobai was already shocked.


    ¡°Master, was that just now¡­¡±


    If he hadn¡¯t seen wrong, the Device Piece he just touched was real, which implies that the Device Nurturing Sphere he played with before was also real?


    ¡°As a full professor of the Daoist Academy, I can get twenty credits every year. Saving for five years allows me to exchange for a Device Piece. Unfortunately, my luck seems to be average and I got a duplicate magic artifact.¡±


    In order to let Chen Mobai understand the principle of Device Pieces, Qin Beichen demonstrated it on the spot.


    In the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Device Pieces can also be exchanged with credits, costing too credits each.


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere is one of the masterpieces of our Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department. However, most of the restrictions inside are set by cultivators who seal the magic artifacts themselves, and they can be very unpredictable. Therefore, after inserting the Device Piece, they will attract the Fire Godlight from the back mountain to sweep away the restrictions inside.¡±


    Having said this, Qin Beichen reached out to pick up the red mist, then directly threw it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Take it. I already have a better one.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t possibly take it!¡±


    Even though he said that, Chen Mobai¡¯s hands had already involuntarily reached out to take the red mist, but the heat forced him to withdraw his hands.


    ¡°¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ is also considered one of the signature artifacts of our Dance Tool Dao Academy. It is refined using the spiritual energy steam ejected from the magma at the bottom of the Treasure Trove, red iron blocks, fire jade shavings and magma. Apart from being used as a flying tool, it also provides impressive defense, especially against fire spells, which it can block most of.¡±


    When Qin Beichen finished speaking, Chen Mobai remembered the smoke he had brought down to the bottom of the Treasure Trove.


    More than 20,000 meters below the earth¡¯s crust, it could isolate the terrifying high temperature, causing him to only break out in a slight sweat. This showed just how powerful this artifact is.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    His words, calling him ¡®Master¡¯, echoed surely and vividly.


    Qin Beichen nodded and gave a few more words of caution.


    ¡°When you go down, you should be able to see the tunnels carved into the cave walls. These were dug by ancient cultivators when this place was a Spirit Stone Mine. The tunnels are intricate, spanning throughout the top 3,000 meters of the Treasure Trove like a spiderweb.¡±


    ¡°Generally, this where students like you will operate. If you go deeper than 3,000 meters, you will need to do your own digging and might not necessarily find anything of worth.¡±


    ¡°You can select a tunnel as your resting place. If you¡¯re thirsty, come up and drink some mountain spring water; if you¡¯re hungry, eat some fasting pills.¡±


    ¡°The spiritual energy here is the most vigorous in all of Crimson Mountain. The headmaster signed a contract to lease the Treasure Trove for another 600 years from the immortal gate a hundred years ago. Since you are cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, don¡¯t waste this place¡¯s powerful Fire Vein spiritual energy.¡±


    After finishing his words, Qin Beichen got up to leave.


    ¡°Master, let¡¯s become good friends.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone, saved Qin Beichen¡¯s contact information, and the latter disappeared from the spot.


    He was set to seclude himself for his Cultivation of the Pure Yang Body again.


    Chen Mobai looked at the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± in his hand and felt a little guilty.


    After all, he was currently using the Eternal Life Sutra to establish his Foundation, and his Pure Yang Scroll was still stuck at Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    Luckily, the Immortal Gate highly respects personal privacy, they won¡¯t actively inquire about someone¡¯s cultivation level and cultivation technique. Thus, Qin Beichen still believes that Chen Mobai established this foundation through the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Speaking of the Pure Yang Scroll, at the end of last year, Ming Yuhua attempted to establish his foundation by condensing ten droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power, but he had to stop breaking through because he had to use a critical technique card.


    In comparison, Chen Mobai acknowledged that Ming Yuhua indeed had excellent aptitude.


    You should know when Chen Mobai first tried to establish his Foundation, he only condensed two droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power.


    To establish a Foundation via the Pure Yang Scroll, one needs to condense fifteen droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power, which means they have then finished the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.

    Compared to Chen Mobai, if Ming Yuhua wasn¡¯t cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, a Divinity Transformation technique, he could at least have reached the stage of Divine Sense Ascending, perhaps even have succeeded in one attempt. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai gave Ming Yuhua a call.


    He explained to him the situation at the Treasure Trove. After hearing what he said, Ming Yuhua was eager to check it out for himself. As an Artifact Refiner, he couldn¡¯t wait to find a Device Nurturing Sphere and open it.


    Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t get in.


    ¡°By the way, Brother, how do you practice the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ artifact?¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai raised the main reason for his call..

 Chapter 292 - Chapter 292: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 531

    Chapter 292: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 531


    Chen Mobai stood at the entrance of the Treasure Trove, taking a deep breath. The faint red cloud of smoke in his hand dispersed, fragmenting into myriads of jade crystal fragments, forming a faint red cloud suspended half a meter above the ground.


    Chen Mobai took a gentle leap and found himself standing on this ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±.


    The sensation was like stepping on a soft rug, incredibly comfortable.


    ¡°It¡¯s just like the flying nimbus in the TV shows I watched as a kid.¡±


    Receiving his own exclusive vehicle for the first time, Chen Mobai was a bit excited.


    He applied spiritual power under his feet, and the Red Misty Cloud Silk immediately radiated a faint red light, then lifted him into the sky.


    The easiness and satisfaction, entirely different from using a flying technique, made Chen Mobai involuntarily indulge in the experience.


    Yesterday he had asked Ming Yuhua how to refine this Red Misty Cloud Silk; she simply sent over a book detailing everything from material extraction, smoke refinement, to the final refining process.


    Chen Mobai selectively flipped to the end of the book.


    After reading the refining mantra, he practiced it all night and finally today, he was able to control this iconic cloud-like magic artifact of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If he felt like riding a bicycle, exerting his entire body when he was using the flying technique previously,


    Then now, controlling the Red Misty Cloud Silk was more akin to steering a vehicle.


    All it required was infusing spiritual power and then controlling the direction with Divine Sense.


    Chen Mobai navigated through the air with the faint red cloud, carving one colorful arc after another. Gradually, his movements became more flamboyant, ascending and descending, rolling and turning.


    After a good while, his enthusiasm finally diminished.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk, carrying him like a red cloud, drifted into the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai spotted the tunnel entries on the cave wall, put on his gold- rimmed glasses with only one lens left, and started measuring the spiritual energy value of each entrance.


    Many were wide open, but some had restrictions set up, indicating they were owned by someone.


    Following the generally accepted rules, of course, he wouldn¡¯t intrude without permission.


    First, he tested his limit.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk continuously descended, swiftly dropping a thousand meters in height.


    By this point, just his physical body could barely endure the heightened temperature around him, he had no choice but to enshroud himself with the Misty Cloud Silk.


    Depending on this Rank-2 magic artifact¡¯s excellent resistance to fire spiritual power, Chen Mobai descended another twelve hundred meters. Here, he felt the consumption rate of his inner spiritual power was a bit too fast.


    Although he felt he could still descend a bit more, Chen Mobai thought there was no need for it.


    With a slight stamp of his foot, he started to turn the Red Misty Cloud Silk around, lifting towards the upper direction.


    As he had already observed the spiritual energy density of most entrances during his descent, he drifted into a pre-marked tunnel entry after ascending eight hundred meters.


    Upon setting foot on the solid ground, Chen Mobai stowed away the Red Misty Cloud Silk.


    The magic artifact transformed into a red jade bracelet, worn on his left wrist, perfectly complementing his pale and glowing skin, appearing extremely beautiful.


    The tunnel maintained its original natural state, dim and narrow, twenty meters ahead there was no light source.


    Well-prepared, Chen Mobai took out an illumination pearl from his backpack.


    This Rank-1 lower-grade magic artifact only required a bit of spiritual power to provide more than seven days of light, the highest-grade illumination pearl can reportedly shine for a thousand years without extinguishing.


    However, the one Chen Mobai had was merely the most common type.


    He manipulated four illumination pearls using the Object Capturing Technique to levitate ten meters ahead of him, two pearls floated behind him, and two floated on his sides. He did not proceed into the depth of the tunnel until the area within the fifty-meter radius was well-lit.


    Recording every step he took, measuring the distance he had covered.


    At the three hundred and sixty-seventh meter, Chen Mobai suddenly came to a halt.


    He looked up above his head.


    A Device Nurturing Sphere was embedded there.


    Under the light of the shine pearl, the pearl-like outer shell emitted a glittering jade glow.


    Under the contrast of the surrounding red iron ore, it glowed with a faint blush, tempting like the skin of a beauty.


    Chen Mobai levitated, closely observing this Device Nurturing Sphere.


    The gold-rimmed glasses could only observe the broad flow of spiritual energy, which was useless at this moment.


    Chen Mobai removed his glasses, his originally pitch-black pupils began to emit a faint clear glow.


    In an instant, the vision in his eyes started changing.


    The surface of the Device Nurturing Sphere of the size of a human skull gradually became transparent, Chen Mobai saw the spiritual liquid filling it up, and a bar-shaped magic artifact at its center.


    It seemed to be a flying sword?


    Chen Mobai thought secretly, infusing his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power into his eyes in a certain proportion, pushing the power of the Void Spirit Eye to the bearable limit of his eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The scene his eyes saw further improved, he vaguely understood why each Device Nurturing Sphere was placed differently.


    The red iron ore surrounding the white jade sphere had strands of Essence of Iron slowly and uniformly integrating through the outer shell of the Device Nurturing Sphere. After being filtered by the spiritual liquid, they were absorbed by the magic artifact at the center.


    Chen Mobai observed the blush on the outer shell of the Device Nurturing Sphere, his face revealing realization.


    This was the impurity of the essence of iron filtered out by the spiritual liquid.


    Waiting over many years, when the effect of the spiritual liquid had completely dissipated, this magic artifact would cease to grow. Worse, because the interior environment of the Device Nurturing Sphere was no longer pure, it might start to decay and even drop in quality.

 Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: 254 Fire Spirit Root 53_2

    Chapter 293: 254 Fire Spirit Root 53_2


    No wonder when opening with a Device Piece, the sphere and spiritual liquid must be completely obliterated by the Fire Godlight.


    They have become useless now.


    Yesterday, while chatting with Ming Yuhua, he mentioned that the efficacy of this nurturing spiritual liquid generally lasts from one hundred to a thousand years.


    The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, a treasure for the Foundation Establishment at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, was actually an unexpected by-product when this nurturing spiritual liquid was initially made.


    No wonder the academy allows students after Foundation Establishment to select magic artifacts here and even use academic credits to exchange for ¡°Device Pieces¡±.


    Because many of the magic artifacts in these Device Nurturing Spheres become junk if no new cultivators develop them for more than a hundred years.


    However, there are two modes to the Device Nurturing Sphere, one being like the one now, placed within the range suitable for the growth of magic artifacts, openly absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world.


    It is for this reason that they could easily be seen through by Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, which he has just entered the gate of.


    The other mode is a completely enclosed one.


    In this mode, the spiritual liquid inside the Device Nurturing Sphere will not be consumed. Under the circumstances where it does not interact with the external spiritual energy, it can maintain the initial state of magic artifacts even after a thousand years like just sealed.


    Which way to choose depends on the mood of the last owner of the magic artifact just before his demise.


    Or whether a suitable environment for the continued growth of the magic artifact is found in the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai already has the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and Divine Wood Sword and has no desire for magic artifacts such as the Flying Sword.


    So he chose to give up on this Device Nurturing Sphere, did not pluck it, and left it to grow by drawing upon the Essence of Iron here.


    However, before leaving, he still left a mark.


    Wearing glasses again and following the traces of the flow of spiritual energy, Chen Mobai walked another 300 meters in this tunnel until he reached the end.


    There was no way ahead.


    After scanning around with his Void Spirit Eye to confirm that there were no sealed passages, he retraced his steps.


    When he came out of the tunnel entrance, it was high noon outside.


    Half a day had passed.


    Feeling that his spiritual power and divine sense were still full, Chen Mobai once again rode on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and rose to another entrance to a tunnel with a higher concentration of spiritual energy.


    However, his luck this time was worse. After spending most of the day and exploring all three intersections inside this tunnel, he did not find a single Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After coming out empty-handed, it was completely dark outside.


    The first day in the Treasure Trove passed just like that.


    He did not return to the rented wooden house outside, but directly set up a prohibition in front of this fruitless tunnel entrance, reminding people there, took out a zabuton from his storage bag, held two Spirit Stones and started cultivation.


    Time flew like running water.


    In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had stayed in the Treasure Trove for half a


    year.


    Because he found a Device Nurturing Sphere on the first day, Chen Mobai enthusiastically explored the caves for treasures every day for the first half month.


    But it seemed like all his luck was used up on that one day. All his actions afterwards ended in disappointment.


    With time, he began to focus on cultivation.


    With diligent efforts, plus the abundant fire spiritual power here, he finally made a breakthrough in his Pure Yang Daoist Body again, forming a Four Yang


    Body.


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 28, Water 19, Fire 53, and Earth 10] Seeing that his Spiritual Root finally looks like that of a genius, Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was filled with joy.


    Although his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots each lost 3 points again, seeing his fire spiritual root grow to 53 points, Chen Mobai decisively decided to selectively ignore these facts.


    At the very least, according to the judgment standards of the Immortal Sect, he is now a true genius of both wood and fire attributes, a True Spirit Root!


    in the Tianhe Realm, that would be considered a super prodigy second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root and Different Spiritual Root.


    With the increase of his spiritual root, when he is free, he can go to the Divine Wood Realm and try his luck.


    In fact, his Water Spirit Root should have dropped to 18 points. However, eating the Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp offered by his eldest disciple surprisingly increased his Water Spirit Root by 1 point, despite his resistance to such spiritual objects.


    Upon discovering this, Chen Mobai made a special trip out of his seclusion to check on Liu Wenbo¡¯s cultivation status and asked about the pillar industry of their family.


    After asking, he realized that even though their family were famous for breeding Azure Blood Carp, they actually only bred twenty-six Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp.


    These Rank-2 fish seedlings could only be purchased from the Water Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    What Liu Wenbo¡¯s family has mastered is just the feeding method of Rank-1 Azure Blood Carp, which can hatch from the eggs laid by Rank-2 female Azure Blood Carp.


    For this reason, the two female Azure Blood Carp capable of laying eggs are the lifelines of their family. Buying the fish seedlings at the time cost them thousands of Spirit Stones.


    Giving Chen Mobai one male Azure Blood Carp was an incredibly generous gesture.


    After getting it clear, Chen Mobai realized that if he wanted to freely eat Azure Blood Carp, he would have to go to the Wind and Rain Pavilion of the Water Vein from the Five Elements Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Wind and Rain Pavilion is located near the central area of Cloud Dream Lake.


    That place is considered one of the most dangerous places in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to put this matter aside for now. Anyway, his remaining 19 points of Water Spiritual Root were enough for him to cultivate to the Nine Yang Body.


    After his Fire Spiritual Root increased to 53 points, Chen Mobai finally felt the speed of cultivation that a genius should have.


    In the advantageous environment of the Treasure Trove, since his Pure Yang Spiritual Power has already perfected and his realm could not be further improved, he spent the remaining time after daily meditation cultivating fire- related techniques.

 Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 533

    Chapter 294: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 533


    Within half a year, Chen Mobai has mastered all the techniques recorded in the Qi Cultivation section of the Pure Yang Scroll, including the ¡°Ignition Technique¡±, ¡°Flame Manipulation Technique¡±, and ¡°Fireball Technique¡±, as well as the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡±, ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±, ¡°Fire Stabilization Technique¡±, and ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡± from the Foundation Establishment section.


    The Pure Yang Scroll embodies the Grand Method of Divinity Transformation, which is the fundamental cultivation method of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If one wishes to master the powerful Primordial Yang Sword Secret, which complements the Pure Yang Scroll, it is best to refer to the Pure Yang Academy.


    Of course, if you have enough points, you can also spend hundreds of millions to download and redeem it from the celestial national library.


    Another significant benefit within the Daoist Academy is the wealth of books and knowledge available in the university library, all of which are provided free to students once they have reached a certain realm.


    Although the Dance Tool Dao Academy does not have a copy of the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, it does possess the Mysterious Sun Needle Secret, Departing Fire Sword Song, and Burn Heaven Great Method, which are derived from the Pure Yang Scroll. These powerful techniques can all be practiced up to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Even the spells within the Pure Yang Scroll itself are very useful to Chen Mobai.


    Consider the three techniques from the Qi Cultivation section ¨C at a basic level, these cultivate a cultivator¡¯s affinity for flames.


    They can ignite sparks from the void, control sparks, and shape the flames.


    However, the four spells from the Foundation Establishment section are different.


    They fully embody the mysteries of the Grand Method of Divinity Transformation.


    Among them, the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡± can purify oneself and eliminate impurities.


    For example, if Chen Mobai takes medicinal pills from the Tianhe Realm and there is pill poison in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he can quickly eliminate the poison by using the Flame Lighting Technique.


    But that¡¯s not all.


    The ¡°Flam Lighting Technique¡± not only works on spiritual power, but also can work on physical vitality and even divine sense.


    Long-term practice of this technique can make a cultivator¡¯s body as solid as steel, spiritual power as clear as glass, and spirit as brilliant as a gem.


    Moreover, this technique has no grades. After Yuan Yang Ancestor cultivated the Flame Lighting Technique to Rank-5, he discovered there were even higher realms to explore.


    The ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±, which follows the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡±, can cause flames to explode, enhancing their power based on the spiritual fire used.


    If Chen Mobai triggers the explosion of the Qingyang Fire Seed in his hand, the power can increase threefold. This technique can be combined with any type of fire and is regarded as the strongest booster technique for Fire Essence Cultivators.


    The only drawback is that the spiritual fire will extinguish and disappear after the explosion.


    It might be fine with ordinary flames, but if Chen Mobai were to detonate the precious Qingyang Fire Seed, he wouldn¡¯t be willing unless it was a matter of life and death.


    The ¡°Fire Stabilization Technique¡± is the opposite of the Flame Explosion Technique.


    This technique can stabilize burning flames, making it one of Xianmen¡¯s top fire repellent techniques.


    Meanwhile, the ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡± is the second most profound technique in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes after the Flame Lighting Technique.


    Only cultivators who have yet to break Primordial Yang can use this technique. By stimulating the innate Primordial Yang within the body and combining it with any flame, the flame level can be elevated.


    Not only does this enhance the flame¡¯s power, but during the process, you can comprehend the innate mystery of the flame returning to its source.


    The Yuan Yang Ancestor was once able to use the Sun Raising Technique to elevate a piece of common flame directly to the Innate True Fire realm of the Sun Golden Flame, capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and destroying stars, tremendously powerful.

    Chen Mobai has tried it with the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    After employing the Sun Raising Technique, what was originally a mere flame sprout transformed into fist-sized purple-green flames.


    Once the purple color in the flames disappears and transforms into pure green, it signifies that the ¡°Pure Green Fire¡± has been fully cultivated.


    This also means that the ¡°Pure Green Technique¡± for refining the Qingyang Fire has reached Perfection.


    With this, Chen Mobai can use this spiritual fire to cultivate the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.

 Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual Talismanl

    Chapter 295: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual Talismanl


    In the Treasure Trove.


    After practicing the skills listed in the Pure Yang Scroll for a while, Chen Mobai then began training with the techniques of immortality.


    However, compared to his rapid progress in fire attribute spells, his advancement in this cultivation technique was lackluster.


    This was due not only to his Wood Spirit Root being nearly half as strong as his Fire Spirit Root, but also his lack of dedication.


    But it wasn¡¯t entirely his fault; after all, once a cultivator reaches the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, the technique will be integrated with and become the nourishment for the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Core Formation process.


    By then, the power of the spells he practiced will dramatically decrease due to different spiritual power attributes.


    So there wasn¡¯t really a need for diligent practice.


    Chen Mobai just familiarized himself with the use of tree seeds and the Heavenly Wood Talisman because, after all, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation is the trademarking technique of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, the environment within the Treasure Trove wasn¡¯t suitable for practicing the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    He usually chose another small world for this purpose.


    Taking out his phone, he selected the teleport function.


    Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    With a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure emerged.


    Since Turtle Treasure anchored this miniature world, Chen Mobai only came here to practice his technique of immortality whenever he hadn¡¯t fully digested his previous gains.


    Raising his head, he saw a towering tree in front of him.


    This was the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Training wood attribute techniques in this small world, full of trees, was not as efficient as being in the Treasure Trove bolstered by the Pure Yang Scroll, but it was still decent.


    After placing a tree seed onto the Heavenly Wood Talisman, Chen Mobai infused it with the Longevity Spiritual Power within his body.


    A Red-sun Spirit Tree sprouted beside him, forming a domain, protecting him inside.


    Chen Mobai reached out and touched the tree trunk, a strand of Heavenly Wood Spirit Light was extracted, and under his Divine Sense reshaping, it transformed into swords, spears, cars, airplanes, and so on.


    This was the ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± from the technique of Immortality. Once practiced to the top tier, it becomes ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    If any other monk from the Divine Wood Sect had seen him freely shaping the spirit light, they would have been astounded.


    Even Mu Yuan, the top of the Sect¡¯s true disciples with extraordinary talent, could only transform the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light into six forms. But even that made the sect monks regard him as a marvel.


    Yet, in the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had completed ten forms transformation of the Spirit Light.


    This was not because Chen Mobai¡¯s talent surpassed Mu Yuan¡¯s, but mainly because of his gains from this miniature Divine Wood world.


    After the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, he then practiced the Spirit Leaf Technique, Wood Arrow Technique, and so on.


    After completing his routine training, he sat down to cultivate in the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation for half a day. This small domain could also gather Wood Spiritual Energy to assist in cultivation, proving to be quite versatile.


    Although the Spirit Vein Level of this small world wasn¡¯t high, because it was full of Wood Spiritual Energy, the speed of cultivating Longevity Spiritual Power was faster compared to the Treasure Trove and Xiao Nanshan.


    When he finished his cultivation, feeling the 11th drop of Liquid Spiritual Power that has formed inside him, Chen Mobai opened his satisfied eyes.


    The feeling of progress was intoxicating.


    According to the 11th layer of mental state description in the technique of immortality, after condensing 35 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power, one can attempt to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    However, due to the huge differences among individuals, this number was just a reference.


    It was said that Zhou Laozu, due to his substantial foundation, had to condense 50 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power for a natural break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Yet, Chen Mobai thought the earlier the breakthrough, the better.


    After all, all of his Longevity Spiritual Power would eventually be absorbed and merged by the Pure Yang Spiritual Power; even a profound foundation would be useless.


    He was clear about his own cognizance.


    He wasn¡¯t going to wait for the Spiritual Power to overflow for a natural breakthrough.


    Given his average talent, he didn¡¯t cultivate quickly anyway.


    As soon as he met the breakthrough conditions, along with various kinds of breakthrough elixirs, he would first elevate his realm before anything else.


    Having clarified this plan, Chen Mobai collected the tree seeds beside him and glanced again at the towering tree not far away.


    He went over to the Magic Treasure Tree and reached out to try again.


    He injected the newly condensed drop of Liquid Spiritual Power into the tree trunk. However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no reaction.


    ¡°As expected.¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself.


    In the past six months, he had experimented many times with this Magic Treasure Tree.


    As long as the spiritual power that was previously injected into it did not change, despite his improvement or degradation in his realm, he wouldn¡¯t be drawn to pick fruits from the tree crown again.


    Unless, he practiced new techniques.


    Chen Mobai had also experimented with this idea.


    After he realized this method, he specifically practiced the Blackwater Cultivation, cultivating a strand of Dark Water Spiritual Power.


    And it worked!


    He was once again teleported to the crown of the Magic Treasure Tree, where he received a black fruit.


    However, when he opened it, there was just a drop of Tree Juice.


    He tried a few more times and finally reached a conclusion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The fruit given by the Magic Treasure Tree is primarily influenced by the injected spiritual power and supplemented by factors like the Spirit Root, to provide the cultivator with the most suitable Spiritual Object for their growth.


    For instance, when Chen Mobai cultivated the technique of immortality and his Divine Sense was strong, he was given a very valuable ¡°Bimu Spirit Heart¡±.


    The quality of his Pure Yang Spiritual Power was exceptionally high, and it practically covered all properties of fire spiritual power; thus the Magic Treasure Tree gave him a ¡°Qingyang Fire Seed¡±.


    In the history of the Divine Wood Sect, he was the first one to have received it.


    But Chen Mobai speculated, if he had injected Pure Yang Spiritual Power of the Foundation Establishment realm, the Magic Treasure Tree might have directly given him a real ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.

 Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: Chapter 255 Using the Wood Spiritual Talisman_2

    Chapter 296: Chapter 255 Using the Wood Spiritual Talisman_2


    Rather than a spark of flame, he needed to figure out a way to elevate it on his own.


    The Blackwater spiritual power that he had cultivated overnight, although of decent quality, in the eyes of the Magic Treasure Tree, it was the weakest spiritual power that had ever been infused into it.


    Hence, it only rewarded him with a drop of ¡°Tree of Longevity Juice¡±.


    Even though this was still something good, an unsurpassed spiritual object for body forging, which could strengthen any part of the body, it was really too little.


    Chen Mobai subsequently attempted once more. It took him three days to cultivate the Black Water Cultivation Technique to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, hoping to gain something additional from the Magic Treasure tree.


    But since the spiritual power had already been injected, there was no reaction at all.


    After reaching this conclusion, he could only regretfully abandon his grand plan of practicing Qi cultivation technique more often and harvesting all the fruits from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Compared to this, the Talent Tree was much more sensitive.


    Any slight change in the spiritual root, and it could provide you with different things.


    In the process of cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai went to the Talent Tree every time his spiritual root changed, from three Yang bodies to four Yang bodies.


    The previous two times, he had obtained the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue, the Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method, the Fire Repelling Technique, and the Fire Snake Technique.


    Of these, the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± was used in conjunction with the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light of the unaging sutra.


    Regarding the shaping and changing of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light inside the Divine Wood Sect, it relies on the individual Cultivator¡¯s own experience and their experience with magic duels. Although there are past experience records on this aspect in the Book Pavilion, they are basically tailored to the individual Cultivator, and the next generation can only refer to it.


    But the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± that Chen Mobai obtained was different; it was an official version from the Church of Life Extension.


    Perhaps, in ancient times, the ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± was supposed to be combined with the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± to cultivate and unleash its full power.


    The ¡°Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method¡± is a technique for using Divine Sense.


    In theory, under the premise of unlimited Divine Sense, every speck of dust in the sky-earth mountains and rivers of one realm can be found, making it an essential technique for hunting down enemies.


    Of course, this is assuming that the other party has no means of shielding against divine sense.


    The Fire Repelling Technique and the Fire Snake Technique, on the other hand, were much simpler. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current spiritual root and realm, just one glance was enough to learn it all.


    He wondered, what would he gain from this change in his spiritual root?


    Holding that thought, Chen Mobai rode the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± into the sky, like a fiery cloud.


    On the Talent Tree¡¯s side, he had also conducted many experiments.


    He once tried to inject the minuscule Black Water spiritual power from his body into it, but the Talent Tree didn¡¯t react at all.


    It seemed to be saying that such mediocrity is unworthy of inheriting the great techniques of the Church of Life Extension.


    After descending, Chen Mobai directly and familiarly injected his own essence, qi, and spirit into the talent tree.


    In a short while, he once again received two techniques from the Church of Life Extension.


    Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, Fire Chain Technique.


    After reading them with his eyes closed, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    The Church of Life Extension, which was a great sect in ancient times, truly had an innumerable number of ingenious and marvelous techniques.


    This ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡± offers another avenue for improving the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.


    It uses the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light to absorb the essence of various wood attribute magic artifacts, transforming them into the cultivator¡¯s magic treasure. As the cultivator¡¯s realm improves, in theory, it can be infinitely upgraded.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of a prehistoric Daoist lineage from the Immortal Sect.


    After he finished Foundation Establishment, he had the privilege to look up some prehistoric Daoist lineage information in the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Among them, there is a Daoist lineage called the ¡°Ruyi Sect¡±.


    Cultivators of this lineage refine a Primordial Heavenly Essence, collecting the elemental energy of heaven and earth, constitute of all the gold and stones in the world, and the essence of all living beings. They can transform it into any magic treasure, which can be regarded as the number one strange technique.


    The idea behind ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡± is similar to that of the Ruyi Sect.


    However, in comparison with the wide-ranged Ruyi Sect, it seems that this can only absorb the essence of wood -based magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai took out the Divine Wood Sword, intending to try it, but in the end, he didn¡¯t.


    Because he felt that if the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light absorbed the Divine Wood sword, the resulting power might not even be as strong as the original Divine Wood sword.


    Moreover, he doesn¡¯t have many Rank-2 magic artifacts on him now. The Divine Wood Sword acts as his disguise so it should not be wasted.


    He took another look at the Fire Chain Technique. It¡¯s a spell that twists flames into rope or chain-like shapes to ensnare an enemy.


    After practicing it once, he felt that he could master it and Chen Mobai begin to tackle today¡¯s main topic.


    He pulled out the Wood Spirit Talisman from the storage bag.


    He had been wanting to test it for a long time.


    But he was always busy. Now that he had completed the Four Yang bodies, it was the perfect opportunity to explore.


    Without any hesitation, as he infused his spiritual power, the Wood Spiritual Talisman turned into a verdant light that enveloped his entire body.


    In that instant, he gained a new understanding of the Unageing Sutra. It seemed that his previous understanding was too superficial, it should be like this¡­


    Also, regarding the spells related to this technique, Chen Mobai realized that there might have been a problem with the direction of his practice. He seemed to have taken some wrong turns.


    Is this the Heavenly Wood Spirit Root!?


    This is unimaginable.

    While Chen Mobai marveled at the function of this talisman, he also remembered to take out the Spirit-Testing Instruments to check his current spiritual root attributes.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood too, Water 19, Fire 53, Earth 10]


    According to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spirit Talisman Store, after using this Wood Spirit Talisman, it directly grants the user 80 wood spiritual root points. Since Chen Mobai originally had 28 points, it should be 108 in total when added up.


    But the maximum number that this spirit-testing instrument can display is too, so it is shown as Wood too.


    Even though he knew that the effect would only last an hour.

 Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual

    Chapter 297: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual


    Talisman_3


    But when he actually saw the Wood Spirit Root fully displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai could not help but feel satisfied.


    However, he had not forgotten the task at hand.


    He once again reached out and touched the Talent Tree.


    [Wood Spirit Power without Danless Poison, top grade.]


    [Single attribute Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, Immortal grade.]


    [Stable Divine Sense and vast Purple Palace, top grade.]


    [Overall Evaluation, top grade, eligible to be Holy Sons and Daughters candidate, rewarded with the complete set of the ¡®Dual-Phase Rotation Skill¡¯.]


    A ray of emerald light descended from the sky and landed on Chen Mobai¡¯s brow.


    When he saw that the reward was the Dual-Phase Skill, he almost could not help but swear.


    He had already exchanged for this thing in the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, as his realm was high, his state of mind had improved.


    He noticed that there were two extra words and thought that it might be slightly different from the Dual-Phase Skill of the Divine Wood Sect, so he carefully read it.


    After finishing reading, Chen Mobai opened his eyes with a bright look, radiating vitality.


    It was indeed different.


    This ¡®Dual-Phase Rotation Skill¡¯ had an additional volume compared to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ¡®Dual-Phase Skill¡¯, supplementing a crucial key point.


    It was about how cultivators could cultivate both Foundation Establishment techniques to perfection even when their lifespan is limited and before their vital energy peaked.


    According to the research of the immortal sects, the chances of breaking through the great realm are the highest before half of one¡¯s lifespan has passed.


    Take Foundation Establishment for example, which has a limit of sixty.


    And correspondingly, Core Formation is the same.


    Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of four cycles of sixty years, which means it is best to form the core before one hundred and twenty years old, so that the vital energy is at its peak and the probability of breakthrough is the highest.


    However, this ultimate mysterious technique of the Dual-Phase Skill, which can increase the probability of forming the core, is only valued and practiced by true disciples in the Divine Wood Sect among the Five Elements Sect.


    Because after Foundation Establishment through the Immortality Sutra, the extra cycle of sixty years added to one¡¯s lifespan is too crucial.


    If not for this extra cycle of sixty years, basically no cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness would be able to cultivate both Foundation Establishment techniques to perfection while their vital energy is at its peak.


    Even so,


    From the Five Elements Sect to the Divine Wood Sect, there are still only a handful of people who can cultivate both techniques linked by the Dual-Phase Skill to Foundation Establishment Perfection before one hundred and eighty years old.


    The Longevity Sect, as an ancient major sect, naturally discovered this issue as well.


    It also included the solution to cultivation in the first volume of the Dual-Phase Rotation Skill.


    Or to put it another way, what is recorded in this first volume is the prerequisite for cultivating the Dual-Phase Skill.


    This was the same line of thought as Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    First of all, use all means to enhance the technique that will eventually be assimilated and used as a resource, regardless of lack of solid foundation or shallow spirit power, since it would be consumed by the other rotation technique anyway.


    And how did the Longevity Sect rapidly enhance it?


    By consuming the fruits of the Longevity Tree!


    But there¡¯s a problem. After consuming the fruit of the Longevity Tree, although you break through the realm, your lifespan is consumed by the power of this spiritual object and you are even shackled at the breakthrough realm for a long period of time.


    The solution of the Longevity Sect is straightforward.


    If lifespan is consumed, then consume elixirs that prolong life.


    If the spiritual power realm enhanced by consuming the tree fruit is shackled, then consume higher grade tree fruits to overlay it.


    This is what is recorded in the first volume of the Dual-Phase Rotation Skill.


    From Early Foundation Stage to Middle Foundation Stage, break through by consuming small Longevity Tree Fruits.


    From Middle Foundation Stage to Late Foundation Stage, consume medium Longevity Tree Fruits again.


    From Late Foundation Stage to Perfect False Golden Core Realm, consume large Longevity Tree Fruits.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Small fruits, medium fruits, large fruits.


    The progression route is clear and concise.


    Finally, when forming the core, the spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm achieved through the shortcut of the Longevity Tree Fruit will be assimilated by the spiritual power properly cultivated through the other technique of the Dual-Phase Skill.


    When the spiritual power is no more, the shackles of the Longevity Tree Fruit on the realm naturally disappear as well.


    Chen Mobai could not help but deeply admire the Longevity Sect for coming up with this method.

 Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: Chapter 256: The Harvest of the Secret Realm by All 1

    Chapter 298: Chapter 256: The Harvest of the Secret Realm by All 1


    But admiration aside.


    Chen Mobai immediately thought of a major issue.


    Where could he possibly find three Longevity Tree Fruits, in small, medium and large sizes too?


    The Divine Wood Sect noted that Yue Zutao was recently recorded as the one who had obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    However, the size of the Longevity Tree Fruit that he obtained, whether it¡¯s small, medium, or large, was unknown.


    Therefore, the Magic Treasure Tree was the only known method to definitively obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    But Chen Mobai himself was no longer able to enter the Divine Tree to obtain the fruit.


    His hope now lies on his younger brothers and sisters who succeed in establishing their cultivation base once the Divine Wood Sect is in the rear to gain access to this Secret Realm.


    But then another problem arises.


    The type of fruit one could obtain from the Magic Treasure Tree was a matter of luck, and no one could guarantee that they could certainly obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit.   ¡¯


    Besides, even if one did obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit, why would they want to give it to you?


    Walking back and forth in front of the Talent Tree, Chen Mobai was pondering how to solve this problem.


    Soon, he clapped his hands, and thought of his two apprentices.


    If he fully supports their cultivation foundation, under the condition of obtaining the Longevity Tree Fruit, they could exchange it for enough Spirit Stones or Cultivation Technique.


    However, even if both of them are extremely lucky and get two Longevity Tree Fruits from the Magic Treasure Tree, it would still be one short.


    The first part of the Dual-phase Rotation Technique would require a full set of small, medium, and large Longevity Tree Fruits. After breaking through the realm by consuming the Longevity Tree Fruits, they would need to consume the complete set to achieve Foundation Establishment Perfection, which could be used as the foundation for their Core Formation.


    No, it doesn¡¯t have to be a complete set.


    He could break through to the middle stages of the Foundation Establishment and then take the medium and large fruits.


    But in that case, time would be wasted.


    Before getting this Dual-phase Rotation Technique, he could patiently cultivate Longevity Spiritual Power to breakthrough, step by step.


    However, knowing now about this shortcut makes him reluctant to slowly condense the Liquid Spiritual Power, consuming twenty years to breakthrough. There isn¡¯t a better solution right now, so he can only plan accordingly. The first priority is to help his two apprentices in Foundation Establishment. At least they must succeed in Foundation Establishment once, giving them a chance to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm¡­ eh, can he help them sneak in? Or maybe he could help core forming cultivators from the Immortal Sect sneak in to pick fruits?


    However, Chen Mobai immediately dismissed this thought as soon as it sprang He would rather slowly cultivate and ascend step by step than risk exposing the secret of Turtle Treasure.


    Isn¡¯t it just time?


    At the age of 24, with the extended lifespan from the cultivation of the Undying Technique, he still has at least 150 years to reach Core Formation.


    Next, he would think of ways to take in more disciples who are credible and trust-worthy. Then collect data on cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect, or even the Five Elements Sect who have entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm. This is to see if anyone other than Yue Zutao has obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    Chen Mobai believes there should be.


    The culture in the Tianhe Realm are different from others. Many cultivators prefer to withhold their cards and not reveal their gains.


    Meanwhile, he should also start collecting some elixirs that can extend his lifespan.


    This is because one of the side effects of consuming Longevity Tree Fruit is that it consumes lifespan to breakthrough realms.


    Chen Mobai was once again calm after planning out what needed to be done. At this time, he remembered that after using the Wood Spiritual Talisman he still had one more chance to pluck from the Talent Tree.


    After injecting the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, another Secret Technique entered his mind.


    Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique!


    A powerful attacking technique benefitting the most from becoming a talisman, with a power level that can reach Rank-3.


    Moreover, being the utmost robust and buoyant, it is the nemesis of all evil spirits and demons.


    However, with the huge surprise from the Dual-phase Rotation Technique


    Chen Mobai barely noticed this technique.


    While the power of the Wood Spiritual Talisman was still present, he was comprehending the Wood Attribute Technique while flying towards the Dao Tree.


    Last time, he managed to take ten steps with a shorter route. This time, he wanted to rely on himself to see how many steps he could take.


    The next day, at Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai, while his two disciples had yet to arrive, was pondering the refinement method of the Wood Spiritual Talisman.


    This talisman costs 5000 Good Deed Points to purchase. He planned to give one each to his two disciples when they enter the Divine Tree Secret realm, reminding them to use it in front of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Because it¡¯s so expensive, he felt it would be more economical to draw it himself.


    Shortly after, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, arrived.


    This surprised Chen Mobai a little.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhuo Ming should be watching over the Spirit Field at the foot of the mountain and logically, she should be the first to arrive.


    ¡°Junior sister Zhuo went to deliver goods to the shop at Divine Wood City yesterday. If she received a Message Talisman there, she would be a bit late.¡± Liu Wenbo, knowing that his master¡¯s heart was only focused on the Supreme Sword Dao and not so much on these trivial matters, immediately started to explain for his junior sister.


    ¡°Oh right, I forgot I assigned her that task.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly realized, as a core elder of the sect, apart from his own territory at Xiao Nanshan, he also has a courtyard and a shop in Divine Wood City, which he had previously entrusted to Zhuo Ming to manage.


    According to his arrangements, she should be selling Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine, but how is the business going?

 Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm Gains_2

    Chapter 299: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm Gains_2


    ¡°Let¡¯s not wait for him then. As your mentor, this is a rare chance that I come out of seclusion. Tell me about the obstacles you have encountered in your cultivation¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, dismissing all thoughts of his mere seven steps under the Dao Tree from the day before.


    After listening to these words, Liu Wenbo respectfully spoke about his doubts when attempting to break through to the ninth level.


    Chen Mobai carried the Formless Marionette on him, and had already gone through the process of Liu Wenbo¡¯s Foundation Establishment using an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone the night before, so he was well-prepared for any issues that might arise.


    After answering a few questions posed by Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai took the initiative to ask about issues that were present during the cultivation but he himself had failed to notice.


    By the time Zhuo Ming arrived at Xiao Nanshan, she discovered Liu Wenbo drenched in sweat but with an enlightened look on his face, sitting in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s wooden cabin, meditating in seclusion.


    ¡°You¡¯re late, Wen Bo has had some revelations under my guidance. He should be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation when he wakes up.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was instantly filled with envy.


    Over the last half year, she had only managed to cultivate up to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation. She had no idea when she would achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    However, having grown up in hardship, Zhuo Ming, although envious of Liu Wenbo¡¯s progress, knew the importance of stable and solid cultivation and wasn¡¯t in a rush to break through.


    She was very clear that as long as she clung onto her current Master, she could at least secure a Foundation Building Pill in the future.


    ¡°Master, this is the account book for the South Mountain Shop. Please take a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the book offered by Zhuo Ming and skimmed through it. He noticed that the Spirit Rice was selling really well.


    In just half a year, all Spirit Rice from the thirty mu of land harvested at Small Yang Ridge the previous year, excluding the portion taken by the Spirit Plant Department, had been completely sold out.


    In total, they had earned 150 lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Then he took a look at the sales of Spiritual Wine. Half a year had passed and only eighteen jars had been sold.


    ¡°Did I set the price too high?¡±


    After putting down the account book, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming with a hint of confusion.


    He had set the price of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine at five lower-grade Spirit Stones per small jar.


    Although this price was five times higher than the general market price of one Spirit Stone, his Spiritual Wine was at least ten times better in both taste and mouthfeel.


    This certification had been given by people like Sun Gaochang and others, confirming that it was indeed overwhelmingly delicious.


    Logically, the price wasn¡¯t expensive.


    ¡°Master, most of the disciples in the Divine Wood Sect are like me. Every day, we have to painstakingly scrape together Spirit Stones for cultivation.¡±


    ¡± Even those few who are wealthy are saving Spirit Stones to buy Magic Artifacts or Cultivation Techniques. Why would they be willing to spend Spirit Stones on luxuries?¡±


    ¡°With these five Spirit Stones, wouldn¡¯t it be better to buy a pill that boosts Spiritual Power!¡±


    After spending a few years together, Zhuo Ming knew that Chen Mobai, although slow in some aspects, was easygoing and didn¡¯t put on the airs of a mentor, so she wasn¡¯t as reserved when speaking to him as she had initially been.


    ¡°I see, it seems my wine can only cater to the high-end market.¡±


    After hearing her, Chen Mobai completely understood.


    He looked at the account book again and found that most of the eighteen jars sold had gone to his good friends, mostly Foundation Establishment elders.


    Only cultivators of their standing had sufficient wealth to buy a few jars of Spiritual Wine for the sake of indulgence.


    ¡°Although drinking Master¡¯s Spiritual Wine can aid in cultivation, it clearly can¡¯t compare with real elixirs. If we can improve this aspect, our wine may become popular in the lower-class market as well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming held a different opinion and planned to create a new brand of wine that tasted good, aided in cultivation, and perhaps even helped in breaking through realms. This idea was completely different from Chen Mobai¡¯s intention to cater to the high-end market.


    What did Qi Practitioners value most? Wasn¡¯t it the advancement of their cultivation realm?


    So, elixirs had the highest demand and sold the best.


    ¡°Disciple, by that you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Master, I was thinking if we could combine the Hundred Herb Elixir or Restoring God Soup with the Spiritual Wine to create a unique new wine that not only tastes good, but also aids in cultivation and even helps to break through realms.¡±


    Chen Mobai, of course, remembered the two formulas in the Classic of Materia Medica that Zhuo Ming had gifted him when she became his disciple.


    He had no objections to her idea.


    ¡°Do you have a plan?¡±


    ¡°A little bit. We need a trusted Alchemist to help. Otherwise, your wine brewing secret recipe might get leaked.¡±


    Zhuo Ming made a small request.


    Before Zhuo Ming became his disciple, Chen Mobai had already involved her in brewing wine.


    After she was accepted as his disciple, their relationship grew even closer. To save himself some trouble, he had directly passed on to her the yeast for brewing the wine.


    Now, there was no need for Chen Mobai to make the Jade Bud Spirit Wine with his own hands; Zhuo Ming could manage it perfectly well.


    In a few years, the flavor of the wine she brews might even surpass his.


    ¡°A trustworthy Alchemist? I don¡¯t know of any.¡±


    [There is one in the Immortal Gate.] But there was no way to bring Qing Nu over.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai shook his head under his disciple¡¯s expectant gaze.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you on good terms with Elder Yan?¡±


    Zhuo Ming reminded Chen Mobai.


    Yan Jinye was the Chief Alchemist, and a disciple of Zeng Woyou. In Tianhe Realm, she was considered an outstanding Alchemist.


    ¡°We¡¯ve only crossed paths a few times, but we can certainly get in touch. However, she¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and probably wouldn¡¯t be able to help you.¡±


    By the end, Chen Mobai thought of this and felt it wasn¡¯t very feasible.

 Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm Gains_3

    Chapter 300: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm Gains_3


    ¡°You could ask uncle Yan to introduce some reliable seniors from the alchemy division. It would lend more prestige if you, Master, were to make the request. That¡¯s certainly more effective than me running around.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. This was simply a matter of making a small mention.


    It had been quite a while since he had met with E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and others. He could take this opportunity to invite Yan Jinye. She should be willing to provide this courtesy.


    ¡°All these matters are minor. Although I have entrusted you with managing the Spirit Field and the shop, all these should take a back seat to your own cultivation level. After all, for us cultivators, the pursuit of longevity is the most important.¡±


    The implication of these words was that Chen Mobai was not taking Zhuo Ming¡¯s proposal seriously.


    As for that shop, he was just reluctant to waste it. Hence, he kept it running selling spirit rice and spirit wine. The income of a few hundred spirit stones a year was, for him now, merely better than nothing.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming showed a teachable demeanor, indicating that she would prioritize cultivation in the future.


    Next, Chen Mobai performed his duties as a teacher.


    Compared to Liu Wenbo, the still unformed Zhuo Ming had much more that could be molded. Furthermore, Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation was still low, and considering she hadn¡¯t encountered a teacher during her time as a loose cultivator, she had accumulated a great many questions.


    Usually, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s infrequent appearances, she could only select the most important questions to ask.


    Yet now, Chen Mobai, contrary to his usual behavior, indicated that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation recently and planned to give them thorough guidance. They could feel free to ask anything.


    A question asked would be answered.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes lit up. She pulled out a thick notebook from her storage bag. This was a compilation of all the questions she had accumulated since she entered the world of cultivation.


    There were questions related to cultivation, talisman making, and various miscellaneous topics about elixirs and magic artifacts.


    Every once in a while, she would flip through this notebook. If she could answer a question herself, she would cross it out.


    However, up until today, she still had this thick book filled with unresolved queries.


    Although Chen Mobai felt slightly bitter, having declared so, he couldn¡¯t very well back out.


    As a result, the teacher and student, from sunrise to sunset, from nightfall to daybreak, spent three full days and nights, going through all the questions in Zhuo Ming¡¯s notebook.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level and the knowledge he had gained as a top student at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was able to answer almost all of the questions.


    There were a few such as, how strong is the Gold Core Elder? How many Gold Core Realm cultivators could a Nascent Soul person fight? Can those who ascended return?


    These were questions he genuinely could not answer.


    All he could say was that his disciple, though she appeared simple and naive, had quite an imaginative mind.


    At that moment, the two spirit stones held in Liu Wenbo¡¯s hand suddenly shattered. He opened his eyes, his face beaming with delight.


    Feeling the breakthrough within his body and a stronger spiritual power, he was tempted to let out a loud roar.


    But, seeing his master and junior sister opposite him, he held back.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master.¡±


    ¡°Haha, all I hope is that you can be successful in achieving the Foundation Establishment stage in one go and make the most out of the opportunity to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his sincere hope. His two disciples took this as a blessing.


    ¡°By the way, are senior brothers E and Yuan in the sect?¡±


    ¡°Senior brother E went to Cloud Dream Marsh to oversee an event. Senior brother Yuan just returned from a mission last month.¡±


    ¡°Arrange a meeting for me with them.¡±


    Hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately went off to make arrangements.


    That evening, the two old friends who hadn¡¯t seen each other in a long time had a merry drink up.


    ¡°You rarely come down from the mountain. The last time we had a drink was half a year ago.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took the spirit wine brought by Chen Mobai, smelt it, and poured himself a full glass with satisfaction.


    ¡°Is the issue with the spirit stone mine in Lei Nation resolved?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou and Brother Luo, the town guard of Lei Nation, put pressure on them together. I was there to back them up in the sidelines. And we managed to suppress the six immortal cultivation families of Lei Nation and dissected 40% of the spirit stone mine for ourselves.¡±


    Yuan Chiye simply stated the result, but Chen Mobai understood the undercurrents of conflict associated with it.


    Snatching food from the tiger¡¯s mouth, and that too nearly half the cake at once, wouldn¡¯t have been an easy task even though they were representing the Divine Wood Sect.


    The allied and forced friendships, the threats and manipulations, Yuan Chiye elaborated on all this over drinks. Initially, his tone was calm, but the more he talked, the more excited he became. Especially when he talked about Zhou Wangshen¡¯s secret midnight meeting with the two biggest families, his combat with the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of Lei Nation, and how he deterred the prowling town guard of Shake Mountain¡­


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou is truly divine.¡±


    Although he was E Yun¡¯s man, after their cooperation in Lei Nation, Yuan Chiye had nothing but praise for Zhou Wangshen.


    He stated that if Zhou were to become the sect leader, the Divine Wood Sect might reunite with the Five Elements Sect and unify the Eastern Wilderness within his lifetime.


    Chen Mobai just listened quietly. When Yuan Chiye finished speaking, he subtly shifted the topic.


    ¡°Has senior sister Yan been in the sect lately? My little disciple wants to experiment with making two types of medicinal drinks and needs a trustworthy alchemist to assist. Yan, as the former chief of the alchemy division, should have someone in mind, right?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having promised, Chen Mobai naturally brought up the matter.


    ¡°As for Senior Sister Yan, she hasn¡¯t returned since her last visit to that Foundation Establishment cave dwelling. She might be trapped by the dwelling¡¯s array prohibitions. We can go to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later and check if the alchemy division has issued any rescue missions.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Indeed, he had made the right choice by staying put and not following them to treasure hunt.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, previous cave dwellings were usually filled with traps. Some loose cultivators specialized in setting up these traps.

 Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm

    Chapter 301: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm


    Gains_4


    ¡°What a pity, I hope Junior Sister Yan is safe and sound.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai put Yan Jinye out of his mind.


    He felt this person was a bit unlucky, so it would be wise to avoid her if she returned to the sect in the future.


    As for Zhuo Ming¡¯s medicinal liquor, she could take her time to research on it herself.


    ¡°By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, I don¡¯t know what you got from the Divine Tree Secret Realm? I was pretty lucky, I got the seed of the Green-sun Fire.¡±


    Chen Mobai started to talk about the real reason why he had invited Yuan Chiye for a drink today.


    He laid his cards on the table first and talked about the yield he had from the fruit.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s you asking, I won¡¯t hide it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a gourd of longevity tree juice, which doesn¡¯t have much use to me, so I sold it to Senior Brother Zhou when I was in Lei Nation.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t disclose the price to you, but it not only cleared all my debts but also provided enough to buy all the alchemy needed for my cultivation until the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Yuan Chiye trusted Chen Mobai a lot, and he openly shared his chance encounter on the Magic Treasure Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Oh, congratulations on that. Do you know what the other senior brothers and sisters got in the Secret Realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to probe the information, he didn¡¯t expect much initially, but Yuan Chiye surprisingly gave him some interesting news.


    ¡°I will tell you, but you must not disclose this to others.¡±


    Yuan Chiye hesitated for a while, but under a full glass of Spiritual Wine poured by Chen Mobai, he revealed what he knew.


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou Wangshen traded with Wu and Yan in order to cultivate the Taoist Body of Longevity. The latter two managed to establish their foundations, and Zhou also played a part in their success.¡±


    ¡°Before they entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they made an oath that if they found the juice of the longevity tree, they must sell it to Senior Brother Zhou.¡±


    ¡°So, Senior Brother Zhou was aware of their gains in the Secret Realm, and he revealed it to me when he made a deal for the longevity tree juice.¡±


    ¡°Just like me, Senior Brother Wu also obtained a gourd of longevity tree juice and sold it directly to Senior Brother Zhou.¡±


    ¡°But Yan Jinye¡¯s luck was very bad, she surprisingly found a longevity tree fruit.¡±


    Speaking of this, Yuan Chiye was filled with regret.


    Everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knows the huge drawback of the longevity tree fruit.


    These disciples who had successfully reached the foundation establishment phase also saw themselves having a slim chance of reaching Core Formation, naturally, they would not take the fruit, which would limit their lifespan and future prospects.


    Therefore, no one in the Divine Wood Sect wanted to buy the longevity tree fruit Yan Jinye got, and she herself was reluctant to use it.


    If it was put on sale outside, there might be some ignorant people who would snatch it.


    But those people didn¡¯t have much family wealth.


    If it were to be auctioned in a big syndicate, all the positive and negative effects of the longevity tree fruit would have to be written clearly, and an oath would have to be taken that there was no deception.


    After all these, it¡¯s sure that the selling price would not be good.


    It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Chiye, who earned 100,000 Spirit Stones from Zhou Wangshen, felt very sorry for Yan Jinye¡¯s results in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°That is truly¡­ bad luck¡­¡±


    After listening to the story, Chen Mobai had to grit his teeth to utter the last four words.


    His expression was a bit weird, but Yuan Chiye just thought that he had drunk too much and was a bit dizzy.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s have another drink. In a few days, I¡¯m going into closed cultivation. I probably won¡¯t come out until the end of the year, so let¡¯s drink to our heart¡¯s content today.¡±


    Yuan Chiye had bought enough elixirs for his use for a year, it was a coincidence that Chen Mobai came looking for him today, if it were a couple of days late, they might not have met each other.


    When Chen Mobai left after drinking, he asked for the location of the Alchemy Department.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, after I came out of the Secret Realm and fell into a coma, Junior Sister Yan took care of me for some time. Now, she has not been back for half a year, and I am really worried about her. So, I thought about asking her master, Elder Zeng, to see if I could help her.¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Chiye felt puzzled.


    I didn¡¯t see any changes in your expression when I talked about it before.


    Why suddenly so concerned after drinking?

 Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: Chapter 257 Lonely Spirit Ridge l

    Chapter 302: Chapter 257 Lonely Spirit Ridge l


    After bidding farewell to Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai first went to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    As an elder of Foundation Establishment, he naturally did not need to verify his cultivation realm like those Qi Cultivation disciples who needed to do so when accepting tasks in the hall.


    ¡°The task concerning Sister Yan from the Alchemy Department? That¡¯s unfortunate, it was just accepted by an elder.¡±


    The Qi Cultivation disciple specially assigned to serve Chen Mobai checked the request, and alerted him with a surprising result.


    So there actually was a task already active, and someone else was paying attention?


    ¡°Oh, which brother is this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not at liberty to disclose that. If you really want to know, Uncle, you can ask the Pavilion Master.¡±


    The Qi Cultivation disciple in front of him apologized. Due to a number of incidents of scheming among fellow disciples, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion has strict controls in place regarding information of this nature.


    If Chen Mobai wanted to know, he could explain the situation to the person in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, who would then report it up for approval.


    Such a troublesome matter, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t entertain.


    After leaving Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he returned to his courtyard in Divine Wood City.


    Liu Wenbo had originally followed him, but considering he had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming instead.


    The little disciple was not resting, but was drawing talismans in the moonlight.


    After giving her a few pointers, Chen Mobai told her about Yan Jinye¡¯s situation, assuring her that he would find a way to help.


    If it had been before, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have been bothered with Yan Jinye¡¯s safety, yet after learning from Yuan Chiye about the Sacred Tree Fruit she possessed, Chen Mobai felt the need to figure out a way to rescue her.


    Although the task was already accepted, it can be confirmed that the task was published by the Head of the Alchemy Department.


    Chen Mobai, having acquainted with Zeng Woyou, left the latter with a deep impression on him as an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius.


    The next day he submitted a formal visit request.


    Chen Mobai easily met the top Alchemy Master of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Speaking of little Yan, she left her Life Plaque with me, so she¡¯s not in danger yet. However, I¡¯ve been quite worried because she hasn¡¯t returned for quite a while, so I posted a task.¡±


    Zeng Woyou trusted Chen Mobai. After all, as the unprecedented genius who took ten steps in front of the Dao Tree in the history of the Divine Wood Sect, this junior brother has the potential to form a Core Formation.


    Hence, even though he, a Rank-3 Alchemist, was a top figure within the Divine Wood Sect, he was incredibly courteous towards Chen Mobai, a junior who had just started his Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Sigh, I missed Sister Yan¡¯s invitation due to my closed-door Sword Dao cultivation, and now I greatly regret it. If I had accompanied her at that time, perhaps with my strength added, this wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were filled with regret and remorse.


    Upon hearing this, Zeng Woyou was inwardly puzzled. Had the relationship between his disciple and this junior brother really been that good?


    ¡°Brother Bi Yiyuan and Brother Shan Hongyi have taken up the task issued by the Alchemy Department. If you, Brother Chen, also wish to help, I will not refuse.¡±


    Zeng Woyou told Chen Mobai about those who accepted the task, and it turned out to be two people.


    He didn¡¯t know Bi Yiyuan, but he had met Shan Hongyi once. Back then, he even took his Floating Airship to Giant Tree Ridge from South Creek Market in the Cloud Country.


    ¡°What are the cultivation levels of these two brothers?¡±


    Chen Mobai directly asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°Brother Bi Yiyuan is at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. However, he¡¯s a Body Refining Cultivator, and his strength is enough to fight against someone in the mid Foundation Establishment stage. Brother Shan Hongyi is a genuine mid Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Had he not wanted me to refine a furnace of pills for him, he wouldn¡¯t have been persuaded to leave his seclusion.¡±


    In other words, it¡¯s equivalent to two mid Foundation Establishment stage cultivators going to rescue her.


    It must be said, Zeng Woyou, being the top Alchemy Master of the Divine Wood Sect, was quite influential.


    ¡°Brother Chen, although your cultivation level is not as high as theirs, the fighting power of a Sword Cultivator at the fourth realm surpasses them. If you¡¯re willing to help, I¡¯ll reward you with a hundred-year-old Swordgrass from my medicinal field.¡±


    Swordgrass? What is that?


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, it might be a very helpful item for a Sword Cultivator, but he did not really want it.


    After all, he had no doubts about his Sword Cultivation realm. As soon as his Qingyang Fire Seed was refined to perfection, he could start forming his ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.


    If he didn¡¯t want the Swordgrass, could he choose other spiritual medicines or spirit grasses as a reward?


    At the moment, Chen Mobai needed a specific kind of spiritual medicine fruit.


    ¡°Bamboo Fruit?¡±


    Zeng Woyou was slightly surprised at the request of Chen Mobai.


    This rarely used alchemical medicinal plant is usually the main ingredient for detoxification pills, or is directly consumed to enhance the Divine Sense.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But if one wanted to detoxify and enhance the Divine Sense, there were better substitute spiritual medicines.


    In addition, there were very few people who grew century-old Jade Bamboo just to see the Bamboo Fruit.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any in my medicinal field, but there are plenty of sufficiently aged Jade Bamboo plants in the sect¡¯s Green Bamboo Mountain. If the special secret technique were used to speed up its maturity, it could grow Bamboo Fruits.¡±


    As an Alchemy Master, Zeng Woyou was quite familiar with what kind of spiritual medicine and grass were grown in which medicinal field in Giant Tree Ridge.


    He was also an expert in spiritual plants, and knew the methods to stimulate the birth of Bamboo Fruits.

 Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Chapter 257: Lonely Spirit Ridge_2

    Chapter 303: Chapter 257: Lonely Spirit Ridge_2


    ¡°Is it possible?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai asked.


    Half a year had passed, and due to his diligent cultivation of Void Spirit Eye, only less than half a bottle was left of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, and it was about to be used up.


    This spiritual liquid could also be used to enhance Divine Sense. During this period, another green paulownia seedling in his sea of knowledge had sprouted two green buds, making rapid progress.


    For Chen Mobai, Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was undoubtedly the most suitable spiritual medicine for him at this stage.


    Therefore, he still hoped to be able to continuously consume the medicine. Unfortunately his request for bamboo fruits on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion had been hanging for half a year, and there were still no takers.


    He casually mentioned it today and didn¡¯t expect there to be a harvest.


    ¡°No problem, I will arrange for Green Bamboo Mountain. The price of a bamboo fruit is usually 350 Spirit Stones. I probably paid about 1000 Spirit Stones as compensation for the other two disciples. I can count that as three bamboo fruits, how does that sound?¡±


    Upon hearing Zeng Woyou¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded.


    So it was settled.


    Lonely Spirit Ridge!


    A very ordinary mountain in the eastern part of the Rain Country.


    If it wasn¡¯t for confirming that Yan Jinye¡¯s Life Plaque pointed here, the three of Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare to believe that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling hidden here.


    ¡°Master, the Qi Pointer Disk is starting to spin chaotically.¡±


    High above Lonely Spirit Ridge, a black-robed youth held a bronze plate on a floating airship. The bronze spoon on it started to spin wildly as if the target was rapidly moving in all directions.


    ¡°Hmm, it seems that there should be natural geographical patterns here. Coupled with the exoteric array plate, all the spirit energy of the land veins has been sealed off, turning this place into a terrifying forbidden area.¡± The middle-aged man who spoke was Shan Hongyi, whom Chen Mobai had previously met.


    The black-robed youth next to him was Yu Lian, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect along with Chen Mobai.


    It was heard that after he left Bud Hall, he had become a disciple of Shan Hongyi and seemed to have been cultivating diligently. He was not seen in the grand sect competition a few years ago.


    Today, he has reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and it doesn¡¯t seem like he just broke through. It is likely that in one or two years, he would be able to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    ¡°So, do we go in directly?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan, another cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm, asked.


    His face was rough, bald, and without eyebrows. The entire person stood there like a source of heat with his vitality running high.


    ¡°Junior sister Yan left the mountain gate with Sister Mei from the Spirit Vein Department. If this Foundation Establishment cave dwelling could trap the two of them, we¡¯d better be a little more careful.¡±


    As Shan Hongyi spoke, he took out a Message Talisman, injected spiritual power into it, and shot it towards Lonely Spirit Ridge below.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found out it¡¯s a Message Talisman.


    Upon a brief thought, he couldn¡¯t help but admire Shan Hongyi¡¯s seasoned experience.


    This Message Talisman can track the nameplate of a divine wood sect disciple within a certain range.


    If Yan Jmye is really trapped under this Lonely Spirit Ridge, this would be the most convenient and fastest way to get in contact with her.


    Sure enough, the Message Talisman was unaffected by the surrounding geomagnetic spiritual energy and the array, it flew directly towards Yan Jinye¡¯s Divine Wood Sect nameplate, and disappeared into a hidden cave on the southern side of Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    ¡°What¡¯s next? Do we just barge in?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan asked, a little reckless in his words.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that a person who could cultivate to such a realm wouldn¡¯t be so foolhardy. This was probably just a ruse.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan suddenly asked Chen Mobai.


    All three of them had introduced themselves under the introduction of Zeng Woyou.   5


    After getting on the floating airship, Chen Mobai kept quiet as much as he could, indicating that he¡¯d follow the two senior brothers¡¯ decisions.


    ¡°Whatever Senior Brother Shan decides.¡±


    Chen Mobai clearly knew himself. Although he had decent fighting abilities, he was still lacking in experience in places like the Tianhe Realm, where danger lurked everywhere. It was better to follow Shan Hongyi¡¯s instructions.


    Let¡¯s wait for Junior Sister¡¯s response.¡±


    After the two finished speaking, Shan Hongyi finally spoke.


    The Message Talisman can reply once, and if it could indeed be delivered to Yan Jinye¡¯s hands, then it was necessary to ask what exactly was going on in her cave dwelling.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The three of them reached a consensus.


    Yu Lian, you go around and ask if there are any legends or strange stories about the Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    Shan Hongyi instructed his disciple to gather information, and Yu Lian immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with him, it¡¯ll be faster.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up, causing everyone present to be slightly taken aback.


    But considering that Yu Lian had not yet reached Foundation Establishment and could not fly, it would be more convenient if Chen Mobai were with him. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, junior brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with a smile, activated his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. A wisp of pale red cloud appeared in mid-air, and he stepped on it first.


    Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, then carefully followed him onto the cloud.


    Junior brother, this magic artifact of yours is quite intriguing.¡±


    Shan Hongyi and Bi Yiyuan had never seen a cloud artifact like the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, which could gather and disperse at will. They couldn¡¯t help but admire it.


    Chen Mobai just chuckled lightly, not saying anything.¡±


    He then flew with Yu Lian towards the nearby areas rich in spiritual energy. ¡°Senior Uncle Chen¡­ do you have something to say to me?¡±


    While standing on the cloud of mist, Yu Lian looked at Chen Mobai and spoke hesitantly.


    ¡°After all, we both come from the same place, and bear a hometown friendship. Plus, there¡¯s not much common ground between me and my two senior brothers on the Floating Airship, so I¡¯d rather go out with you.¡±


    ¡°Senior Uncle Chen, you¡¯ve managed to suppress three thousand Qi Cultivation disciples in the sect with a single sword, and achieved Foundation Establishment just four years after joining. You¡¯re like the sun and the moon in the sky. I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯d remember a mere hometown fellow like me.¡± What Yu Lian meant to say was that he was surprised and flattered, but his face showed no expression and his tone was calm, leaving Chen Mobai at a loss for words.


    Initially, our group was assigned to Senior Brother E Yun by the sect. However, I went to the farm to avoid trouble after leaving Bud Hall. It¡¯s good that you became a disciple of Senior Brother Shan. The Luo siblings in the sect have the backing of their clan¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators.¡± Upon hearing this, Yu Lian furrowed his eyebrows, unclear about what Chen Mobai was trying to say.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t established my foundation first, I would probably have to risk my life for the sect at Yun Meng Ze, even while farming. You¡¯ve reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, why didn¡¯t you participate in the sect competition?¡± ¡°To make a name for myself.¡±


    Yu Lian said something that slightly surprised Chen Mobai, then he laughed.


    ¡°With your abilities, it could be possible.¡±


    ¡°I could do that initially, but with you in the picture now, no matter how much I stand out, I can¡¯t reach your level.¡±


    Yu Lian sighed.


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai was at a loss for words.


    Indeed, he had set a benchmark in the sect¡¯s true education that was virtually unattainable, and certainly unsurpassable for others.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Cultivator over there.¡±


    The bronze plate in Yu Lian¡¯s hand suddenly pointed in a certain direction.


    Chen Mobai promptly flew towards it with him.


    ¡°In the future, if you can enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and obtained something good that you don¡¯t need, you could sell it to me.¡±


    The two of them asked several nearby Cultivators about the Lonely Spirit Ridge


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    and on the way back, Chen Mobai subtly dropped a hint.


    Upon hearing this, Yu Lian looked surprised.


    ¡°Do you think I can succeed in Foundation Establishment on the first try?¡± ¡°Among those who have joined the Divine Wood Sect with us, your talent is widely acknowledged to be the best. If I can do it, you certainly can too.¡± Chen Mobai said something that caused a change in Yu Lian¡¯s expression. ¡°Here¡¯s the reply from Yan Jinye, Junior brother Chen, you should take a look at it.¡±


    After the two of them returned to the Floating Airship, Shan Hongyi handed a piece of paper to Chen Mobai.


    [The owner of the cave dwelling has turned himself into a Silver Armored Corpse. Sister Mei and I cannot leave its side in order to suppress it. Please, brothers, bring some extremely yang and extremely hard artifacts or talismans when you come in.]

 Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Chapter 258: Feiming Taoist 1

    Chapter 304: Chapter 258: Feiming Taoist 1


    ¡°Have you made any findings?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was looking at Yan Jinye¡¯s reply, Shan Hongyi also asked his disciple.


    Master, Chen Uncle Master and I asked some cultivators nearby. They claimed that the Lonely Spirit Ridge was, a hundred years ago, the Cave Dwelling of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named ¡®Fei Ming Daoist¡¯.¡±


    ¡®He was adept at formations and techniques of corpse manipulation. Before his mysterious disappearance, he had a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment and even had a record of battling late-Foundation Establishment and retreated intact. He was indeed a rather notorious figure among Loose Cultivators.¡±


    Though this area has Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it was once an ancient battlefield tomb, and the corpse¡¯s Qi polluted the Earth Vein. Therefore, after the disappearance of Fei Ming Daoist, not many Cultivators were willing to explore.¡±


    After Yu Lian finished reporting the information he¡¯d gathered, Shan Hongyi nodded and turned to Chen Mobai and Bi Yiyuan.


    ¡°Any suggestions, junior brothers?¡±


    ¡°We will follow your lead, elder brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai repeated his usual statement, and Bi Yiyuan nodded in agreement. ¡°Hmm, if Fei Ming Daoist was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime, becoming a zombie after death, even after a century, he might have restored only to the Foundation Building Realm. The three of us working together should be more than enough to suppress him.¡±


    The implication of Shan Hongyi¡¯s words was that their next step would be to break in.


    Right. There are also our two Junior Sisters inside. The five of us in the Foundation Establishment stage should be able to handle it, unless this Fei Ming Daoist has evolved into a golden zombie. Otherwise, he will forge my


    Bi Yiyuan was also very confident.


    Among the three, only Chen Mobai smiled without comment.


    ¡°You stay outside. If there are any unexpected situations, such as our inactivity for a long time, report straight back to the sect about this situation.¡±


    Before going in, Shan Hongyi asked Yu Lian to stay behind, to which the latter naturally agreed.


    After all, he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment. If he is impacted by the residual energy from the clashes between Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he might be harmed.


    ¡°I¡¯ll lead the way.¡±


    Bi Yiyuan decisively took the lead and plunged into the cave. Chen Mobai followed in second.


    Here m the Tianhe Realm, they used Luminous Pearls for illumination, which although considered a top treasure for mortals, is just a regular spiritual object for cultivators.


    As soon as Chen Mobai entered the cave, he felt a chilling aura.


    With a slight frown, Chen Mobai unfolded his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± from his wrist, transforming it into a faint mist that enveloped the three of them.


    Seeing this, both Bi Yiyuan and Shan Hongyi were slightly taken aback.


    ¡°Junior Brother, since none of us are completely familiar with each other¡¯s Divine Skills or Magic Artifacts, it will be best if you look after yourself first.¡± Only then did Chen Mobai realize that this was the custom among the Tianhe Sect.


    He could not help but feel internally moved: even among fellow disciples, there was a distinct lack of trust.


    Of course, he was more than willing to oblige, and so withdrew the Red Misty Cloud Silk to his side.


    A copper sheen spread across Bi Yiyuan¡¯s skin and a faint warmth radiated from his body. The chill in the air around them dissipated as Bi Yiyuan passed by, leaving the trailing Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi feeling much more comfortable.


    The three quickly reached a fork in the road.


    Under normal circumstances, they might have split up here.


    But Shan Hongyi once again launched a Message Talisman.


    Follow this talisman, and it will lead us to Junior Sister Yan.¡±


    Without waiting for his response, Bi Yiyuan already dashed into the cave entrance on the left. Chen Mobai¡¯s brow briefly furrowed as he started smelling a faint, foul odor.


    Could they be getting close to the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s lair?


    ¡°Outrageous beast!¡±


    As he followed into the cave, he suddenly heard Bi Yiyuan yell, followed by a flash of copper light. A rotten, helmeted skull flew past them.


    Red light flashed, and with a thought from Chen Mobai, the Red Misty Cloud


    Silk around him transformed into a cover that swatted away the undead skull knocked flying by Bi Yiyuan.


    It seems that this place is a natural breeding ground for zombies.¡±


    Shan Hongyi¡¯s voice echoed from behind him. At the same time, a streak of fire flared up, transforming into a crimson flame serpent that reduced three resurrecting zombies from the cave¡¯s walls to ashes.


    ¡°Did Junior Sister Yan really pass through here?¡±


    Using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai scanned the surroundings of the cave and found no recent signs of battle.


    ¡°We have to be careful from now on. This Fei Ming Daoist was skilled at formations in his lifetime, so he may have rerouted his lair¡¯s passages. The Message Talisman only flies in the shortest path towards Junior Sister Yan. This rigid weakness can easily be exploited.¡±


    As Shan Hongyi spoke, Chen Mobai also launched another couple of ¡°Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman¡±. The crossfire of six Sword Qi, together with the glistening purple Sword Glow, swept clean the zombies rising back to life from both sides of the cave.


    ¡°What should we do next? Advance or retreat?¡±


    Meanwhile, at their front, Bi Yiyuan was not to be outdone, having somehow produced a Fine Iron Wolf-teeth Mace from his storage bag. As he swung it around, several zombies were smashed into fragments.


    ¡°Charge! With our powers, we can easily take down this cave dwelling!¡±


    Upon seeing the Message Talisman¡¯s faint glow about to disappear before them, Shan Hongyi made a swift decision.

    ¡°Good, you two, keep up!¡±


    Upon hearing the words, Bi Yiyuan struck out with his Wolf Fang Club, sending six zombies in their path flying. Copper light bristled around him as he charged forward like an unstoppable copper figure.


    Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi activated talismans simultaneously. After quickly mopping up the area with their fire serpent and Sword Qi, they hurriedly closed the gap.


    Bam Bam Bam!


    They advanced and fought their way through.

 Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: Chapter 258 Flying Ming Taoist _2

    Chapter 305: Chapter 258 Flying Ming Taoist _2


    The piercing sound of fractures permeated the air as flames and Sword Qi intertwined¡ªmixing the stench of corpses, the aroma of charred flesh, and the sickly smell of mud. The smell overwhelmed the three of them, forcing them to breath internally.


    Having slain an indefinable number and traversing a distance of roughly a hundred meters, at last, the zombies did not appear anymore.


    Chen Mobai exhaled slightly. Although the job was done just using talismans, implying minimal Spiritual Power loss, the sheer number was undeniably excessive.


    He estimated that he had aided the passing of at least fifty to sixty of them.


    ¡°These are Iron Corpses, the lowest in rank among zombies. They are created by burying strong malefactors in corpse raising grounds. A Qi Cultivation cultivator at level seven can effortlessly dispose of them.¡±


    Just as Shan Hongyi began to speak, and Chen Mobai pondered why he was explaining this to him, a monotonous rumbling sound echoed.


    With a sudden thud!


    The Wolf Fang Club that Bi Yiyuan had tossed out rebounded back, hitting the top of the cave, making the entire mountain seem to vibrate slightly.


    Chen Mobai discharged the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± blocking the falling dust and rocks.


    ¡°Huh, this Bronze Armored Corpse has been well cultivated. It has a powerful force.¡±


    The voice of Bi Yiyuan rang out. Afterward, two crimson eyes lit up in the dust, followed by an explosion of golden light. Accompanied by a cacophony of collision sounds as if copper and iron were fiercely colliding, the noise attacked Chen Mobai¡¯s eardrum.


    A sudden slashing noise!


    Accompanied by the sound of a mass of meat and bone being torn apart, Chen Mobai used his Void Spirit Eye. Through the dust, he saw Bi Yiyuan tearing a Bronze Armored Corpse in half.


    ¡°Generally speaking, a Bronze Armored Corpse is equivalent to the end of Qi Cultivation phase, coupled with an unyielding body and immense strength, immune to ordinary spells, it¡¯s not guaranteed that even the Qi Cultivation peak disciples of sects can overpower it.¡±


    The voice of Shan Hongyi echoed, as Chen Mobai nodded lightly.


    Given that the Bronze Armored Corpse could engage several moves with the Foundation Establishment cultivating Bi Yiyuan before getting torn apart, it was indeed a formidable foe.


    And just at that moment, two more blazing crimson eyes lit up in the dust.


    There was another Bronze Armored Corpse!


    On Chen Mobai¡¯s right side, sensing his weakest aura, the Bronze Armored Corpse rushed forward, with hands like claws, charging at him.


    Gently patting the storage pouch at his waist, a blue Flying Sword sprang out like a fish, effortlessly severing the grotesque creature¡¯s neck.


    In almost an instant, the Bronze Armored Corpse charging towards Chen Mobai had its head separated from its body.


    Its body continued forward through inertia onto the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± colliding with the hot Fire Jade Crystal fragments, causing sparks to explode, and then ignited, which gave off an intense stench of the corpse.


    On the other side, Shan Hongyi released a Clear Wind Talisman, converging the dust within the cave into a clump, clearing the obstruction in their field of vision.


    Seeing the reality, his heart sank.


    Before they could figure out when it happened, ten Bronze Armored Corpses had already surrounded them. Their eyes ¡ª ablaze with crimson light ¡ª were filled with a longing for flesh and blood, looking coldly at the trio.


    ¡°Both of you should go all out now; junior sister Yan might be in danger.¡±


    Upon seeing this, the casual demeanor of Shan Hongyi hardened slightly. From his storage bag, he retrieved a red Flying Sword.


    If the Daoist Mystic had twelve Bronze Armored Corpses, then he would definitely have had Silver Armored Corpses when he was alive.


    Considering his transformation into a Silver Armored Corpse, even with the combined strength of Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun being at the Early Foundation Establishment stage, it would have been impossible for them to survive half a year in this place.


    A series of rumbling echoes!


    When the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect moved to attack at the same time, even the ten Bronze Armored Corpses that had formed a defensive formation and been empowered by the Earth Evil Yin Qi were eventually completely destroyed after the three cultivators brought out their Magic Artifacts.


    Bi Yiyuan, who had regrasped his Wolf Fang Club, smashed three Bronze Armored Corpses chunks. Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi, employing their two Flying Swords to execute the Red Flame Sword Jue, overwhelmed the remaining zombies with their fiery Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    After the pouring of Sword Rainbow, only gray-black traces were left on the cave wall.


    Once the trio revealed their full prowess, there was no longer anything that could obstruct them. Guided by the most recently activated Message Talisman, busting through three cave walls, slaying minimal hundreds of Iron Corpses, finally, they stormed into a cavernous hollow about four to five hundred meters deep underground.


    ¡°Senior brothers, over here!¡±


    As soon as the three landed, they heard a voice filled with surprise.


    Upon looking, they realized that at the center of this enormous hollow was an astonishing, translucent pool.


    In the center of the pool was a white jade sacrificial altar with a Black Wood Coffin placed on it.


    Normally, a coffin would be nailed shut, yet this one seemed to have been opened by someone. The lid was partially lifted, revealing a figure, clad in a brilliant silver robe with his eyes shut tight¡ª a corpse.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    An artefact resembling a talisman, marked with cinnabar and made of yellow paper, was resting on the corpse¡¯s forehead. It was presumably a Corpse Suppression Curse. Beside the head of the corpse, there was a multicolored lotus lamp. Unfortunately, the wick seemed to have burned out, leaving no visible flame.


    ¡°This is the corpse of Daoist Mystic. He trained himself to become a zombie. Thankfully, Mrs Guo has a Rank-2 Golden Axe. Otherwise, we would probably be in quite some danger.¡±


    At the side of the coffin on the altar, three Foundation Establishment female cultivators were seated. The voice was coming from Yan Jinye.


    She, along with another female cultivator, stretched out their hands and poured their Spiritual Power into the talisman situated on the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s forehead, suppressing the corpse¡¯s awakening.


    A veiled, amply endowed beauty among them manipulated an artifact, interrupting the Yin-Evil Qi flowing to their location.

 Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Chapter 258: Daoist Feiming_3

    Chapter 306: Chapter 258: Daoist Feiming_3


    Only after Chen Mobai and his comrades landed did they see a jade axe embedded in the chest of the Silver Armored Corpse. However, there was no sign of fresh blood from the wound, only shining white bones and torn flesh.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, take care of this Silver Armored Corpse. Leave the rest to Brother Bi and me,¡± Shan Hongyi said, organizing the tasks, to which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    ¡°The rest? Are there more Silver Armored Corpses?¡±


    Those who had cultivated to the Foundation Building Realm weren¡¯t ordinary. Just from a single phrase, the wife inferred their suspicion.


    ¡°Yes, in this Cave Dwelling, besides Daoist Feiming himself, there should be another Silver Armored Corpse, which he cultivated during his lifetime.¡±


    As he was speaking, a sneer came from within the coffin.


    The faces of Chen Mobai and his comrades changed as they simultaneously attacked Daoist Feiming.


    However, the Lotus Lamp turned into a light barrier, blocking all their attacks.


    ¡°I never expected that my humble Netherworld Mansion would be graced by the presence of five Foundation Builders.¡±


    Once again, a voice echoed from above. Silver-grey rays of light descended from the sky, condensing into zombies that surrounded a towering commander wearing a helmet and brandishing a broadsword.


    Undoubtedly, this was a Silver Armored Corpse.


    Only a Silver Armored Corpse could retain the rationality akin to a normal person.


    ¡°Who are you? Do you honestly believe that you can defeat the six of us?¡±


    Shan Hongyi stroked his beard, attempting to dig out more information, all while pulling out a compass-like magic artifact from his storage bag.


    ¡°Me? You came to my Cave Dwelling and you don¡¯t know who I am?¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse, wielding a war sword, spoke, causing everyone to frown.


    ¡°You¡¯re Daoist Feiming? That¡¯s impossible!¡±


    ¡°Hehehe, nothing is impossible. You know nothing about the Yellow Springs Dharma.¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse trapped in the Black Wood Coffin spoke. Despite its inability to move, it managed to laugh, sending chills down everyone¡¯s spine.


    ¡°Damn, let go now!¡±


    Just then, Shan Hongyi noticed something and shouted at Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun, who were channeling spiritual power into the Corpse Suppression Talisman on the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s forehead.


    But it was too late, the Corpse Suppression Talisman burst into flames and turned into ashes in an instant.


    The Silver Armored Corpse within the coffin laughed triumphantly, its closed eyes opening to reveal a faint golden glow in its pupils, which stunned everyone.


    An incredibly frightening aura erupted from the coffin!


    Yan Jinye and the two women, already on the brink of exhaustion, spat out blood and were blown away.


    ¡°Damn! When he was alive, he must have swallowed a corpse pearl from a Golden Armored Zombie. That¡¯s why he could transform his body within a hundred years, developing some qualities of a Golden Armored Zombie,¡± said the experienced Shan Hongyi, his face changing dramatically.


    ¡°An old man who knows quite a bit, huh!¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse, floating midway in the air, brandishing its war sword, looked at Shan Hongyi with a hint of surprise.


    ¡°Junior Sisters, retreat!¡±


    Shan Hongyi, without hesitation, threw two bottles of elixirs to Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun. Then, flinging a talisman toward the direction of the White Jade Sacrificial Altar, he flew directly upward.


    But he had barely taken off when he was stopped by a war sword that swooped down from the sky.


    Bi Yiyuan, however, did something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect.


    He swung the Wolf Fang Club, aiming a fierce attack at Mrs. Guo, whom he had just rescued from the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    With a clang!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although the Jade Handle Golden Axe flew out and blocked Bi Yiyuan¡¯s attack, Mrs. Guo spat out blood, staining a large part of her veil red.


    ¡°Brother Bi, what are you doing?¡±


    Yan Jinye looked shocked and was about to persuade Bi Yiyuan not to go all out, when Mei Jingjun held her back.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you see? Something¡¯s wrong with her.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai was baffled, but after hearing Mei Jingjun¡¯s words, he furrowed his eyebrows and snuck away in search of an escape route.

 Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: Chapter 259: Underworld Array l

    Chapter 307: Chapter 259: Underworld Array l


    ¡°Is that how the Divine Wood Sect, despite being a major faction in the Eastern Wilderness, plans to kill me as an excuse to plunder the spiritual resources of my Guo family?¡±


    After blocking Bi Yiyuan¡¯s attack with her Golden Jade Axe, Madame Guo spat out fresh blood. Her usual gentle demeanor instantly sharpened. She took two lead pellets colored purple-gold from her belt, and as she channeled her spiritual power into them, faint golden arcs of electricity began to dance around them.


    ¡°Purple-gold God Thunder!¡±


    Seeing the two lead pellets in Madame Guo¡¯s hand, Bi Yiyuan, who had been planning to launch another attack, immediately halted.


    Although ChenMobai didn¡¯t know what those things were, he could sense the tremendous spiritual power contained within these small pellets. They were likely similar to the ¡®hand-thunder¡¯ used by the immortal factions.


    ¡°Madame Guo, after the three of us entered here, you used your Golden Jade Axe to wake the Silver Armored Corpse and induced Yan Jinye and me to inject our spiritual power into the Corpse Suppression Curse, aiding the Silver Armored Corpse in breaking its seal. How do you explain this?¡±


    Mei Jingjun was a woman with slightly yellowish skin and a well-proportioned figure.


    Everyone present turned their suspicious gaze to the pale-faced Madame Guo after hearing Mei Jingjun¡¯s words.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, you were the ones who invited me.¡±


    Although Madame Guo¡¯s gaze was icy, she maintained her composure, rebutting each of Mei Jingjun¡¯s accusations with careful precision.


    Chen Mobai could understand her predicament. After all, everyone present, apart from her, belonged to the Divine Wood Sect.


    If they all agreed that she was problematic, they could effortlessly dispose of her, then split the contents of her storage bag amongst themselves.


    She had no choice but to tread carefully.


    ¡°Let¡¯s move on. It¡¯s not worth wasting time on her.¡±


    At this moment, Bi Yiyuan turned his grave gaze towards Feiming, who was slowly rising from Wumu Hall.


    Feiming, whom the transformation had turned completely into a Silver Armored Corpse, seemed to shimmer with a silver powder light. In the underground cavern, he appeared as bright as the moon, incredibly conspicuous.


    The tinkling sound of fighting resounded in the air above.


    Shan Hongyi, using his full firepower, controlled his crimson Flying Sword like a flaming serpent, engaging in a heart-stopping battle with the Silver Armored Corpse, who had monopolized the only upward passage.


    ¡± Indeed, one of you was arranged to come here to disrupt the Corpse Suppression Curse.¡±


    Feiming, with silver powder applied to his face, held up the five-colored Lotus Lamp in his right hand and laughed sinisterly. His statement made everyone present exchange uneasy looks.


    ¡°It¡¯s really you!¡± Yan Jinye exclaimed, her eyes filled with anger. She glared at Madame Guo, who sneered coldly in return. Madame Guo didn¡¯t offer a counterargument. She simply held the two lead pellets in her hand, her icy gaze sweeping over everyone present.


    ¡°Be careful. This could be an attempt by the enemy to create discord amongst us.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally spoke. He had been observing for a while and had not found any problems so far. However, compared to the unknown truth about a possible mole, the current main goal was to leave this cave dwelling.


    ¡°In any case, we need to get out of here first.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai finished his sentence, everyone nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Which way did you two sisters come from?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan took out a full suit of armor from his storage bag and quickly dressed himself in it, fully armed.


    ¡°There is an underground passage at the bottom of this lake. We can reach another cavern through the undercurrent. After traversing for several kilometers, we can leave Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    Upon hearing Yan Jinye¡¯s words, Feiming chuckled coldly and landed heavily on the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    At that moment, the earth shook violently.


    Stalactites fell one after another, forcing Chen Mobai and the others to use various means to defend themselves or dodge them.


    ¡°Oh no, he¡¯s trying to collapse the underground passage!¡±


    Yan Jinye instantly understood Feiming¡¯s intention.


    She summoned her magic artifact¡ªa Medicine Hoe that Chen Mobai had seen before¡ªto try to stop Feiming.


    However, the five-colored Lotus Lamp set off a burst of flames, and an invisible light barrier appeared again, freezing Yan Jinye¡¯s Medicine Hoe in mid-air.


    Next, Feiming raised his hand and a gray deathly aura instantly enveloped the Medicine Hoe.


    Accompanied by the crisp sound of falling, the Medicine Hoe lost all its spiritual light and fell into the lake.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sharp sound of three Sword Qi shattering the air resonated. The three Sword Qi lined up in the air, forming a ¡°H¡± character. They pierced into Feiming¡¯s forehead, neck, and heart like startling sparks of lightning the moment the wick of the Lotus Lamp went out.


    However, the potentially lethal Red Flame Sword Qi was only able to leave a trace of charred tailings on Feiming¡¯s silver-gray skin.


    This was due to the fire attribute of the Red Flame Sword Talisman used by Chen Mobai; had it been something else, it probably wouldn¡¯t have even left a mark.


    Boom!


    Before Chen Mobai made his move, Bi Yiyuan, who had also seized the opportunity just as the light of the Lotus Lamp went out, swung his Wolf Fang Club heavily towards Feiming.


    However, his body couldn¡¯t move as swiftly as the Sword Qi, so his attack reached Feiming only after the Red Flame Sword Qi had been blocked.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Faced with the Wolf Fang Club¡¯s impressive might¡ªdistinctly different from his previous strikes¡ªFeiming didn¡¯t seem to want to take any chances. He opened his mouth and spat out a golden bead that ricocheted like a marble, effectively stopping Bi Yiyuan¡¯s all-out attack.


    Feiming¡¯s dark golden pupils constricted, and the Lotus Lamp in his right hand reignited.


    The invisible light barrier flickered, as if it was endowed with enormous strength. It forcefully repelled Bi Yiyuan.


    Whistle!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for this opportunity, controlled his Divine Wood Sword. Like a fish swimming through water, he slipped through the gap as the barrier disappeared when the lamp wick extinguished. He lightly circled Feiming¡¯s neck with his sword.

 Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Chapter 259 Underworld Array_2

    Chapter 308: Chapter 259 Underworld Array_2


    A screeching sound!


    With a deafening noise, the Divine Wood Sword landed on what seemed like a chunk of pure iron. It slightly pierced the outer layer, but was then firmly seized by the left hand of Feiming Daoist, unable to advance further.


    ¡°Interesting, he is actually a sword cultivator.¡±


    Feiming Daoist¡¯s dark golden eyes moved onto Chen Mobai off in the distance. Of all the six Foundation Establishment cultivators present, he had paid the least attention to this handsome young man.


    Because he could sense that the young man¡¯s cultivation level was only just starting to establish a foundation.


    However, the swordsmanship displayed in these two rapid attacks, expertly capitalizing on the gaps in his magic artifact¡¯s defenses, reflected an impressive visual prowess and Sword Dao Realm. It even surpassed the older man in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    As Feiming Daoist turned his attention to Chen Mobai, Bi Yiyuan, who had initially been repelled by the Lotus Lamp, launched his Wolf Fang Club. Seizing the moment when his opponent was stalled by the Divine Wood Sword, he struck him heavily on the forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Feiming Daoist¡¯s head cracked open like a baseball being hit, revealing an empty scalp. He was smashed heavily into the wall of the cave, leaving a human-shaped hole.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Having landed a hit, Bi Yiyuan did not hesitate and took back his magic artifact before flying upwards.


    Remaining underground in the hidden current tunnel was too risky, and since he did not know the Earth Escape Technique, he decided to follow Shan Hongyi¡¯s example and head upwards.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate either. Summoning back the Divine Wood Sword, he merged with it and started running at full speed.


    Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun also decisively followed them.


    ¡°Attack together!¡±


    Shan Hongyi yelled out, and the five Divine Wood Sect cultivators who had never collaborated before simultaneously unleashed their most powerful fire-attribute spells on Feiming Daoist¡¯s Silver Armored Corpse!


    In an instant, flames filled the sky, immersing the Silver Armored Corpse. There were flame serpents, fireballs, Purple Fire Sword Aura, and rolling thunder, engulfing like a meteor shower and melting more than half of his wide-bladed war sword.


    The five people of the Divine Wood Sect did not care about their battle achievements and rushed straight for the exit that the Silver Armored Corpse had left unguarded before, flying into it.


    As they were leaving, Chen Mobai caught a glimpse of Lady Guo. She was flying across the lake on escaping light.


    ¡°She chose the opposite direction.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no use. This is my Netherworld Mansion, all spatial dimensions are within my control.¡±


    With the sound of Feiming Daoist¡¯s voice, Chen Mobai and the others suddenly felt a surge of silver mist obscuring their vision, and they could no longer discern the direction.


    Upon extending their divine senses and identifying the exit, the cultivators attempted to leave. However, they soon discovered that they had been transported back to their original location.


    Then, a silver fog carrying a cold and sinister aura rose from below, filling the cave and blocking their sight.


    ¡°Fellow disciples, don¡¯t panic!¡±


    Shan Hongyi¡¯s voice echoed as a light lit up in the silver mist, dispersing all darkness and bringing them back into the light.


    It was one of Shan Hongyi¡¯s magic artifacts, perfectly suited for this kind of situation.


    Chen Mobai retracted his Void Spirit Eye, stood on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, and took his place in four corners with the other members of his sect, all showing solemn expressions.


    Above the two of them, Feiming Daoist¡¯s Silver Armored Corpse reappeared at the cave entrance, having unknowingly healed the injuries that they had inflicted.


    His body was charred all over, one of his arms was missing, but the silver mist swirled into his wounds and in the blink of an eye, the wounds healed at a visible rate.


    ¡°lam beginning to get familiar with this new body.¡±


    Feiming Daoist emerged from the cave wall, the wound on his forehead inflicted by the Wolf Fang Club quickly healing. The smoke emitted from his Lotus Lamp turned into beneficial silver mist for the Silver Armored Corpse.


    ¡°Netherworld array, activate!¡±


    Once familiarized with his new body, Feiming Daoist started manipulating the formation of the cave dwelling he had set up in his previous life.


    Then, a portal in the void opened, and Lady Guo, who should have escaped, rushed out with a panicked expression on her face.


    So, that¡¯s how it is!


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai and the others realized that they were teleported back here in the same manner.


    What was the origin of this Netherworld array that it could be so mysterious?


    After landing next to Feiming Daoist, Lady Guo tried to attack with her Jade Handle Golden Axe, but was repelled by the colorful Lotus Lamp, which caused her magic artifact to stagnate. She was heavily smashed against the cave wall.


    But Lady Guo wasn¡¯t as resilient as the Silver Armored Corpse, and she nearly shattered on the spot.


    Even so, her vision blackened, and though she managed to barely maintain her form lodged in the cave wall, her breath was feeble.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t she one of yours?¡±


    Watching this unfold, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°One of mine? I never said it was her.¡±


    Having said this, Feiming Daoist grabbed the Jade Handle Golden Axe that Lady Guo had been holding in front of her and threw it at her. It penetrated straight through Lady Guo¡¯s chest, avenging his corpse that had been previously cut by this axe.


    Upon seeing such a gruesome sight, Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye frowned slightly, while the other three seemed used to it.


    At this moment, Feiming Daoist pulled the Jade Handle Golden Axe from the lifeless body of Lady Guo, and threw it towards Bi Yiyuan in the air.


    Clang!

 Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: Chapter 259: Underworld Array 3

    Chapter 309: Chapter 259: Underworld Array 3


    Bi Yiyuan used his Wolf Fang Club to smash open the golden jade axe, but to his surprise, he discovered that his weapon was lighter, the three spikes on it having been severed, revealing a shimmery cut surface.


    This golden jade axe is indeed sharp!


    No wonder it was able to cut open the body of the Feiming Taoist.


    ¡°Junior Brother Bi and I will join forces to cut down this silver-armored corpse above. Junior Brother Chen and two Junior Sisters, can you hold off the Feiming Taoist for a while?¡±


    Seeing this, Shan Hongyi quickly proposed a strategy.


    Everyone understood the current situation. Although Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun looked uncomfortable, they had no option but to agree.


    Chen Mobai remained silent, everyone took that as his agreement.


    ¡°One of my men is still among you.¡±


    At this moment, the Feiming Taoist added another psychological warfare tactic, Shan Hongyi and Bi Yiyuan exchanged a look and simultaneously attacked the silver-armored corpse in the air.


    The two of them released a terrifying spiritual power in an instant that shook the entire cave dwelling. Within just five or six moves, they crushed their opponent, then plunged into the cave entrance and vanished.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡±


    Yan Jinye, pulling Mei Jingjun along, followed the path cleared by the two men.


    They turned into a green light, rapidly ascending.


    ¡°Huh, aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±


    Feiming Taoist looked curiously at Chen Mobai who had stayed put.


    ¡°Can they escape?¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a strange question.


    ¡°They probably can¡¯t.¡±


    The Feiming Taoist¡¯s response was also intriguing and ambiguous.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Although my Underworld Array is deployed based on the local conditions here, the array plate has defects, and an Array Master above Rank-3 can find a way to break it.¡±


    ¡°How unfortunate. It seems we don¡¯t have a Rank-3 Array Master among us.¡±


    Shan Hongyi had some knowledge of formations, but Chen Mobai appeared to be mainly relying on his long years of experience.


    Bi Yiyuan was a body cultivator, Yan Jinye was an alchemist, and Mei Jingjun, whom he had no contact with, did not seem to be a Rank- 3 Array Master either.


    ¡°You guessed right. Indeed, there¡¯s none.¡±


    The multi-colored Lotus Lamp in the hands of the Feiming Taoist flickered, reflecting images of Shan Hongyi and the other three flying endlessly within the passage but never making it outside of Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ve split the four of them up, you can go and chase them down one by one. I want to play with this sword cultivator slowly.¡±


    The silver-armored corpse, which had recovered under the effects of the silver mist, nodded. Since its weapon was destroyed, it picked up the golden jade axe. Chen Mobai watched as it disappeared, pursuing his fellow disciples to execute them.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t you going to stop it?¡±


    The Feiming Taoist felt a bit disappointed seeing Chen Mobai still standing on the cloud, believing that his mind game had failed.


    ¡°No, dealing with you alone will be much easier.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with a sentence that made the Feiming Taoist raise his eyebrows.


    ¡°Are you aware of what you¡¯re saying?¡±


    The Feiming Taoist¡¯s face darkened, he lifted the multi-colored Lotus Lamp in his hand, preparing to use this magic artifact to torment this presumptuous boy, when a green flying sword shot out of Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    The overwhelming Sword Qi Long Rainbow descended, carrying ostentatious flames, which were easily condensed, immobilized, and dissipated by the colorful firelight¡­


    Too weak!


    Just as the Feiming Taoist was sighing and ready to eliminate this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, a dazzling purple light like a shooting star appeared in his vision, such as he had never seen before.


    He looked up, only to see Chen Mobai pulling out a hairpin and drawing it lightly downwards.


    The Feiming Taoist turned grim, planning to spew out a golden pearl, but the speed of purple sword light was far beyond his expectation.


    He wanted to rely on the tough body of the silver-armored corpse to resist it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As long as there was no fatal injury, he could swiftly recover with the aid of the magic artifact.


    But when he finally came to his senses, he found his head flying in the air, his eyes could see his headless body still holding the multicolored Lotus Lamp. How is this possible?


    Could a mere Sword Rainbow break my defense?


    It was not until the Feiming Taoist¡¯s bewilderment that he found something wrong.


    The thing that just struck him, it didn¡¯t seem to be a Sword Rainbow!

 Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: After a fierce battle of 260, he was killed _1

    Chapter 310: After a fierce battle of 260, he was killed _1


    It was a sword light!


    Finally, the Daoist Flying Spirit reacted.


    However, at this time it was already too late. Even for a zombie, being beheaded was a fatal injury.


    However, before he died, there was at least one more thing he had to do.


    After Chen Mobai had killed Daoist Flying Spirit with all his might, he was about to burn this silver armored corpse using the Qingyang Fire Seed. However, he spotted a golden pearl emerging from the neck of the headless corpse like a dazzling, dark golden sun.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who felt the intense fluctuation of the spiritual power, immediately realized that this was the opponent¡¯s final struggle before his death.


    Without daring to take risks, he unleashed all his defensive methods and quickly retreated.


    Chixia¡¯s Red Misty Cloud Silk cloaked his whole body, lifting him rapidly with a faint red light, like a cloud.


    Then, dark green scales flew out from his right hand sleeve, forming a shield covered in scales, protecting him from the Chixia.


    Even after these two defensive measures, Chen Mobai was still a little uneasy.


    He bit his left finger and painted a symbol in the air, setting up a ¡®Spirit Leaf Technique¡¯.


    Although he could not initiate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation in time, it was still the most potent defensive magic he currently knew and could perform.


    Finally, he took out a defensive talisman from his storage bag. If the three layers of defenses in front of him couldn¡¯t withstand the terrifying force of the golden pearl¡¯s explosion, this talisman would provide him a fraction of time to recede further.


    Of course, before retreating, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget to retrieve his ¡®Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯.


    It was the most valuable thing he owned now.


    A Rank-2 high-grade attack magic artifact, it was worth over a thousand spirit stones in value.


    Moreover, it was a fire attribute flying sword, which is most suitable for Chen Mobai to execute the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Since Chen Mobai obtained the artifact, he had used it twice. Coupled with the Qingyang fireseed boosted by the Sun Raising Technique, he killed two laymen who were in the Foundation Establishment Phase with just a single shot. It is indispensable for him.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, already in sync with his divine sense, burst into a pure purple flame as soon as the golden pearl emerged from the headless corpse. It deflected its direction akin to a dexterous sparrow.


    However, at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye noticed the multicolored lotus lamp that the headless corpse was holding.


    His divine sense directed the Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯s tail fire to elongate and transform into a chain of fire. It pulled the Lotus Lamp and the separated hand towards Chen Mobai, who had retreated to the entrance of the cave, right when the explosion was about to occur.


    However, Chen Mobai, who had already fled, didn¡¯t notice that a small, pure and quintessential spirit had flown out from the wick of the Lotus Lamp as he took it.


    Boom!


    The terrifying spiritual force that erupted from the golden pearl swept across the entire underground cave like a tsunami in a snap.


    Despite retreating at his fastest speed, Chen Mobai still felt the overwhelming spiritual energy fluctuations mixed with the cold, evil corpse energy. They struck his triple-layer defense like a tempest.


    The external green scale shield disintegrated first, scattering into fragments.


    It was deprived of all its spiritual power during the airborne shuffle and was subsequently sucked back by the chitin armguard worn on his right hand.


    At this moment, a touch of deep purple light flew towards Chen Mobai from afar. He took out his storage bag and accepted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Lotus Lamp.


    In the midst of the vibrating and thunderous explosion, the faint red glow from the Red Misty Cloud Silk started to warp and fade.


    Chen Mobai, however, had already ascended to a considerable height with the help of his Divine Wood Sword. He was expending his spiritual power lavishly to break the rocks and make his way.


    The attack that Daoist Flying Spirit had inflicted before his death was rather easy to fend off after withstanding the initial turbulence and maintaining a safe distance.


    Chen Mobai halted his actions, waited for the aftermath to fade while simultaneously crushing the falling rock debris.


    About the time it took to brew a pot of tea later, the terrifying surge of spiritual energy finally started to dissipate.


    The earthquake ceased.


    After waiting for a while, Chen Mobai took out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Five-colored Lotus Lamp from his storage bag, confirming there was no danger.


    He placed the jade-green hairpin back into his hair before looking at his gains: an exquisite Five-colored Lamp.


    The only eyesore was the severed hand attached to it.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai used the Qingyang Fire Seed to burn it into ashes. He then reached out and took the Lotus Lamp, which was obviously not an ordinary magic artifact.


    While Chen Mobai did not dare to hastily inject his spiritual power into it, he felt that this artifact might rank above two.


    However, it appeared incomplete, and he didn¡¯t know how to ignite it.

    It seemed he needed to return to the Celestial Gate and ask his dear friend to identify it.


    Thinking so, Chen Mobai put the Five-colored Lotus Lamp back into his storage bag and continued to dig with his flying sword.


    He had nearly hundreds of intermediate-grade spirit stones, enough to keep the flying sword running and to hollow out the entire Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, two days later, when Chen Mobai had tunneled through a mountain wall and thought he had struck an undamaged tunnel, he found the scene in front of him extremely familiar.


    This was the cave where he had killed Daoist Flying Spirit, wasn¡¯t it?

 Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: Chapter 260: After a fierce battle, he was

    Chapter 311: Chapter 260: After a fierce battle, he was


    killed _2


    However, the original underground lake had long been filled in by stalactites and other debris scattered by explosions. The White Jade Sacrificial Altar, along with the headless corpse, had also turned into dust under the explosion of the


    Golden Pearl.


    Chen Mobai flew around, confirming several signs of battle, and his expression


    became grave.


    What had happened?


    Could it be that Daoist Fei Ming had died, yet the Underworld Array was still


    active?


    Was he still within the range of this formation?


    Or was it possible¡­Daoist Fei Ming wasn¡¯t dead!?


    Or else, perhaps that Silver Armored Corpse who pursued Shan Hongyi could manipulate the Underworld Array as well?


    Chen Mobai pondered all the possibilities, cross-legged on the Red Misty Cloud Silk, pulling out an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to replenish his exhausted spiritual power.


    In the situation where a fight might break out again, he needed to maintain his


    peak condition.


    Half a day later, he opened his eyes, operating the Void Spirit Eye.


    This Art of Spiritual Eyes, touted as the most comprehensive among immortal sects, was something Chen Mobai, with relentless cultivation for half a year using Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, had already mastered.


    Now exerting its full power, he immediately saw residual traces of differently colored Spiritual Power in the air.


    He compared them to his memories, first identifying the the most vibrant red glow.


    That was Shan Hongyi¡¯s!


    Among the five people from the Divine Wood Sect, only he was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, thus, without concealing, the residual traces of Spiritual Power left behind would naturally be the most noticeable.


    Chen Mobai instantly followed in the direction that he disappeared.


    However, halfway through, he found that the traces of Spiritual Power abruptly vanished.


    He immediately recalled the scene where Lady Guo, who had originally escaped, was teleported back by Daoist Fei Ming. It must have been the Underworld Array that teleported Shan Hongyi to another place in the Lonely


    Spirit Ridge.


    However, such a Large Formation with the potential to teleport at any time would surely have rigorous activation conditions.


    Chen Mobai recalled the knowledge about array techniques he had learned and quickly figured out the key point.


    The Teleportation Array required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy to activate.


    He had once used the Teleportation Array in the Southstream Market to reach Yun Meng Ze, which not only drained the Spiritual Energy from the Market¡¯s earth veins but also required Spirit Stones as an energy source during activation.


    The Array Plate for the Underworld Array must be in a place with the most abundant Spiritual Energy.


    Either at the core of the earth veins, or a place stacked with numerous Spirit


    Stones.


    Chen Mobai revoked the Void Spirit Eye and put on his gold-rimmed glasses with newly replaced lenses.


    Although this Magic Artifact was fragile, its functionality was reliable.


    After expanding the range to its maximum, Chen Mobai flew towards the place where the Spiritual Energy Value flared up the most.


    With a bang!


    He punched through a mountain wall and entered a cave. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn¡¯t help but be slightly taken aback.


    He saw Bi Yiyuan with his eyes wide open, a large hole in his chest, heart entirely gouged out, already dead.


    However, the ground beneath his corpse did not have a single trace of blood. With a single glance, Chen Mobai knew the reason, it was because not a drop of blood, from head to toe, remained in his body.


    Was it done by that Silver Armored Corpse?!


    Speculating inwardly, Chen Mobai gently closed Bi Yiyuan¡¯s eyes. In such a dangerous place, he dare not travel with a corpse.


    Furthermore, the space in his storage pouch was limited, so this was the only help he could offer.


    Surveying the surrounding battle traces, Chen Mobai found a Wolf Fang Club with only its iron handle remaining, and armor that had been cut through.


    Touching the cut on the armor plate, smooth as jade, he immediately thought of that Gold Jade Axe.


    This Magic Artifact was probably not inferior to his own Flying Sparrow Hairpin. It¡¯s a pity that Lady Guo was not lucky. It was not known where this Artifact came from, but it tragically fell on this Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    Chen Mobai searched around but didn¡¯t find anything like a storage bag, so he didn¡¯t waste any more time.


    He pursued the location where the spiritual energy fluctuations were the most intense once again.


    He was getting closer and closer.


    He could even faintly hear the explosive sound of flames roaring.


    After the Divine Wood Sword flew out and cut open a mountainside, Chen Mobai rushed into another large underground lava cave.


    What came into view was Shan Hongyi, who was casting the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    One look revealed that this Cultivator who was a foundation establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect, had one side of his face green and the other red, the spiritual powers of wood and fire were continuously revolving inside his body. When they clashed with each other, they transformed into a vast and boundless ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± and ¡°Red Flame Sword Qi¡±.


    And at his oblique sides, two Red-sun Spirit Trees rose from the ground, which were Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun.


    The three of them opened their hands, using their divine sense and spiritual power with all their might, manipulated the three Heavenly Wood Spirit Lights to merge into a huge ball of light, trapping the Silver Armored Corpse inside.


    The three foundation establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had jointly cast the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, setting up a formation within the Underworld Array of the Netherworld Mansion, suppressing the flow of the spiritual energy of the Earth Veins in the Lonely Spirit Ridge. They used this method to demonstrate and shield the power of the Underworld


    Array.


    ¡ö¡¯Brother Chen arrived just in time. We four can join hands to refine it.¡± In the center of the three was the Silver Armored Corpse of the Flying Nether Daoist.


    He was holding a gold jade axe and continually assaulted the cage formed by the three Heavenly Wood Spirit Lights, but with Shan Hongyi using fire attribute Red Flame Sword Qi to resist from the front, he maintained a stalemate.


    Without a doubt, the arrival of Chen Mobai made the faces of the three from the Divine Wood Sect light up with joy.


    On seeing Chen Mobai burst in, the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s face also dramatically changed.


    Immediately afterward, as if he had made some decision, without any hesitation, he directly spat out a silver pearl.


    He actually imitated the Flying Nether Daoist and self-detonated his Corpse Pearl.


    The three from the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t expect this, and were immediately severely injured. A green shield in Shan Hongyi¡¯s hand cracked open, his face turned pale, as if his spiritual power was depleted excessively, his originally black hair started to turn half grey and half white.


    The most tragic one was Yan Jinye. Her cultivation level was the weakest, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light that was connected to her heart and mind exploded when the Silver Armored Corpse spit out the pearl, she directly turned pale as golden paper, blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth and she collapsed on the ground.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay attention to Mei Jingjun. After the Silver Armored Corpse self-detonated its Corpse Pearl, it unexpectedly escaped unscathed, on the contrary, it used this powerful strength to break through the cage of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.


    He held the gold jade axe and directly cut into the Green Iron Shield in Shan Hongyi¡¯s hand. Then, he extended his sharp claws towards the latter¡¯s heart. Shan Hongyi let go of the shield in his hand, together with the axe on it, he tossed it into the air. His complexion turned fiercely red, intending to use a secret technique that would result in mutual destruction. A green flying sword flew past his cheek from behind, striking straight into the brow of the Silver Armored Corpse.


    With a ¡°ding¡± sound!


    The Silver Armored Corpse which was already in front of Shan Hongyi was instantly pushed back, pinned to the opposite mountainside by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Wood Sword piercing through its forehead.


    ¡°Brother Shan, are you alright?¡±


    The voice of Chen Mobai came from behind. Shan Hongyi, who had been desperately holding on, couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. He sat his rear down on a stone in the lava cave, took out a spirit stone, and began to recover while gasping for breath.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m fine, but it¡¯s a shame that Brother Bi didn¡¯t cultivate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, so he couldn¡¯t shield the teleportation power of the Underworld Array like us. Not long ago, he was killed by the demonic corpse.¡±


    With each word Shan Hongyi spoke, his expression became more somber.


    His mission this time initially seemed to be a simple task. He never imagined that they would lose a fellow sect member along the way.


    ¡ö¡öAh it¡¯s all my fault for not discovering the operating rules of the Underworld Array sooner. Perhaps if I had come earlier, I might have been able to save Brother Bi.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed, and Mei Jingjun, who was not far away, walked over with a weak Yan Jinye.


    ¡°How did Brother Chen manage to escape the pursuit of the Silver Armored Corpse?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mei Jingjun asked curiously. After all, she only realized that they could use the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation to block the Underworld Array in a moment of life and death crisis.


    This was made possible because the Silver Armored Corpse was delighting in the notion of slowly killing and feeding on them one by one, and had teleported Bi Yiyuan away from them first. When it was killing this physical cultivation cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, it inadvertently bought Mei Jingjun thinking time, finding a slim chance to survive.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and saw Yan Jinye¡¯s gaze. He knew that this woman was aware of his Sword Dao Realm.


    When they return to the sect, it would probably be impossible to hide it. So, he might as well tell the truth.


    ¡°I had a bitter battle with that Flying Nether Daoist and managed to kill him..¡±

 Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Chapter 261: Void Stone_1

    Chapter 312: Chapter 261: Void Stone_1


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, everyone was stunned.


    They all knew how terrifying Fei Mingdaoren was.


    His cultivation level was ordinary, roughly similar to his in life, foundation establishment mid-stage.


    However, since he had transformed into a zombie, and even possessed some of the unique features of a Golden Armored Zombie¡¯s body, the toughness of his corpse far exceeded that of an ordinary Silver Armored Corpse. It could not be breached without a Rank-2 superior attack magical artifact or sword qi equivalent attacks. It would be tough to even scratch his skin.


    Furthermore, the mysterious lotus lamp, the Rank-3 Corpse Pearl, and the cover of the large formation of the Netherworld Mansion at Lonely Spirit Ridge, probably even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator could only manage to self-preserve here.


    However, such a powerful enemy was eliminated by this handsome junior brother of theirs!


    Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun.


    In contrast, Yan Jinye, who knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Cultivation Realm, showed an expression of ¡°as it should be¡±.


    Condensed to the extreme, the Sword Light was sharp and unbeatable, the bane of the tough-skinned zombies.


    Moreover, there was this junior brother¡¯s Qingyang Fire Seed, obtained from the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree, which had strong yang energy.


    Combining the two, it was understandable to have struggled to kill Fei Mingdaoren.


    ¡°Worthy of being Senior Brother. It¡¯s normal that you could achieve this,¡± Yan Jinye said, which silenced Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun, who were initially somewhat dubious.


    They recalled the name Chen Mobai had earned in the sect as a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    A peerless Sword Cultivation Genius!


    Could this man be another Hong He?


    The two, thinking thus, looked at Chen Mobai differently.


    In the previous generation of True Disciples, Hong He was the most famous. He was strong when weak, killing three Rank-2 demonic beasts at the early foundation stage, hailed as the most brilliant genius of the Divine Wood Sect in a century, a Gold Core cultivator.


    Chen Mobai was able to kill Fei Mingdaoren at the early foundation stage, an accomplishment no less impressive.


    ¡°I am indebted to Junior Brother Chen for saving my life this time. When we return to the sect, I must properly thank you,¡± Shan Hongyi said, his tone completely different from before.


    ¡°This Jade Handle Golden Axe is a Rank-2 peak magic artifact. Junior Brother, you have contributed the most this time, you should take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the Jade Handle Golden Axe that Shan Hongyi handed over and didn¡¯t react at first. But then considering the customs of the Tianhe Realm and seeing Mei Jingjun and Yan Jinye¡¯s matter-of-fact expressions, he accepted it graciously.


    Compared to the Lotus Lamp, which he didn¡¯t know how to use, this Jade Handle Golden Axe was very straightforward. Even with his basic treasure appraisal skills, he could deduce the practice method for it.


    Simply input spiritual powers into it.


    ¡°Since this place was the nest of Fei Mingdaoren, maintained for hundreds of years, there might be hidden treasures inside. Now that the greatest danger has perished under Junior Brother Chen¡¯s hand, we should look around,¡± said Shan Hongyi, slightly envious at Chen Mobai accepting the Golden Axe. He had personally experienced the power of this artifact; it even broke through his Rank-2 defensive magic weapon, pointing to its strength.


    As he couldn¡¯t acquire the Jade Handle Golden Axe, he hoped to scour this place to take some sort of compensation for the loss of his Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°You two go ahead. I¡¯m unable to move, so I¡¯ll wait here,¡± said Yan Jinye with a bitter smile. Her face was pale and her vitality at its lowest point. It was feared that if she didn¡¯t recover, it would cause damage to her source.


    ¡°Then I will go to deal with Elder Brother¡¯s body, and at the very least, should bring his corpse back to the sect,¡± Mei Jingjun didn¡¯t fare much better, and since they owed their survival to Chen Mobai and the other¡¯s rescue, they tactfully gave them all the spoils.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s regroup here in an hour,¡± said Shan Hongyi before rushing off in the direction indicated by the bronze plate in his hand after he had finished speaking.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to go with the flow.


    After notifying Yan Jinye and the others to ensure their safety, he headed toward where he had sensed the most spiritual energy.


    Soon, he came to a cliff side.


    His sword qi burst out, and he carved through the rock disguise.


    He saw a cave dwelling that had been meticulously carved out. Before entering, he already felt a surge of rich spiritual energy.


    He looked closer and saw a small white jade sacrificial altar in the center of the dwelling¡ªidentical to the one he saw earlier with the Wumu Hall on it.


    Except, what was placed on this was a twenty-or-so diameter silver-gray disc.


    At one glance, Chen Mobai recognized it as an Array Plate.


    This Array Plate had three cracks, dividing it into four parts. Fei Mingdaoren seemed to have collected three of these already, and now it lacked a corner.


    After Chen Mobai ascertained it was safe, he reached out and took down the silver-gray Array Plate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, the rich spiritual energy became even stronger, as if he were in a mist of spiritual energy.


    The familiar sensation caused Chen Mobai¡¯s face to change slightly.


    He activated his Void Spirit Eye and looked down at the small white jade sacrificial altar, only to find that it was made of Spirit Stone, and of a not low quality at that¡ªit met the standard of an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Spirit Stone in the ore state.¡± Due to Yuan Chiye serving as the town guard for the Spirit Stone Mine in the past year, Chen Mobai had heard him mention Spirit Stone mining conditions over drinks.


    In the world of Immortal Cultivation, the Spirit Stones in circulation were all cut to standard shapes and weights, to serve as the most basic unit of currency in circulation around the world..

 Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Chapter 261: Void Stone _2

    Chapter 313: Chapter 261: Void Stone _2


    The rough spirit stone just mined is an unnatural shape nurtured in the earth. But after Yuan Chiye had overseen the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation for half a year, the largest raw Spirit Stone he had ever seen was just the size of a skull.


    The one in front of Chen Mobai was already nearly the size of his chest.


    A rough estimate would put its value at around two to three hundred intermediate-grade spirit stones.


    All the Spirit Stone mines in the Eastern Wilderness were under the supervision of the seven major Sects.


    Loose cultivators were absolutely unable to trade for raw Spirit Stones.


    Is there a possibility¡­


    That the Daoist Feiming had a Spirit Stone mine, and he had mined it himself during his lifetime?


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and scanned the entire cave dwelling from top to bottom.


    He finally found a hidden hollow.


    After opening up, he found several books within.


    Without examining them, he put the White Jade Sacrificial Altar, the Array Plate and these books into his storage bag. After confirming that he had not missed anything, he stepped out of the cave.


    After the collapse of the cave dwelling, Chen Mobai went back to where the Daoist Feiming¡¯s Wumu Hall was originally located.


    We dug out the huge White Jade Sacrificial Altar with great effort, but found that it was not a raw Spirit Stone. Disappointed, he was about to leave.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    Chen Mobai stopped in his tracks, looking at a place.


    That was a human-shaped wall that had sunk in. If he remembered correctly, that was where Madam Guo was killed by the Daoist Feiming.


    Chen Mobai looked around, but didn¡¯t see any bodies.


    Did they disappear in the aftermath of the Golden Pearl¡¯s explosion?


    But why couldn¡¯t he see even a drop of blood or a bit of bone remains?


    Perhaps the center of the explosion was a high temperature, which turned the corpses into fly ash.


    Chen Mobai, thinking thusly, estimated that it was about time, and with his doubts, returned to the place he had left before.


    Upon his arrival, he found that Shan Hongyi had not yet returned.


    Yan Jinye¡¯s face was much better. After all, being an alchemist herself, she had various pills in her storage bag.


    Mei Jingjun had also split a stone sarcophagus with a magic artifact, and Bi Yiyuan¡¯s corpse was placed inside.


    ¡°My storage bag space is almost full as well as Sister Yan¡¯s, we can only carry it out.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that his own storage bag was also full. However, since Shan Hongyi had the Floating Airship, as long as it was carried outside, it should be fine.


    After a while, it was getting close to the agreed time, but Shan Hongyi still had not returned.


    The two women were a bit anxious and Yan Jinye, who had been healing her injury all along, couldn¡¯t sit still anymore and began pacing back and forth.


    Just as Chen Mobai was pondering whether or not Shan Hongyi was in danger and whether or not he should escort the two junior sisters out first and go back to the sect for help, Shan Hongyi finally returned.


    His expression was excited, and in his hand he held a silver-gray ore. ¡°junior brothers and sisters, this place is actually a vein of Void Mysterious Stone. It¡¯s no wonder Daoist Feiming could lay down a large formation to transfer space.¡±


    Upon hearing Shan Hongyi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face jumped with surprise. The Void Stone, also known as the ¡°Void Stone¡±, was an essential material for the refining of storage bags.


    In the Immortal Gate, this ore was even one of the nine rare treasures, and even a Golden Core True Human might not be able to get one.


    in the Eastern Wilderness, only the Five Elements Sect and Shake Mountain headquarters had discovered two veins of Void Stone.


    The reason why the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff were divided at the beginning, and the reason why they fought with the Five Elements Sect for fifty years, was to include the Void Stone vein in their own territory, but the other three veins of the Five Elements Sect would not agree.


    The value of a Void Stone vein was immeasurable, and even a Golden Core ancestor would be alarmed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, report to the sect right now.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Shan Hongyi put the Void Mysterious Stone into his own storage bag after he finished speaking.


    This harvest was too big, even for the four of them who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was too much to digest.


    Chen Mobai nodded.


    After leaving Lonely Spirit Ridge, they made their way back to Giant Tree Ridge without stopping.


    Because the Void Mysterious Stone vein was too precious, the four of them went directly to Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong, who was fishing at the time, got the news and promptly went to report to Elder Zhou in his closed-door cultivation.


    After waiting for about half a day, Meng Hong followed a young boy with white hair and a youthful face into the hall.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder.¡±


    Shan Hongyi immediately bowed to the young boy with white hair.


    The three of them, Chen Mobai, who had never seen the Golden Core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect, didn¡¯t know until that moment that the boy was the Supreme Elder of the sect, and the head of the Shenmu Hall, with a faint reputation as the number one person in the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder Zhou.¡±


    Chen Mobai, Yan Jinye, and Mei Jingjun also bowed in reverence.


    ¡°You¡¯re all young talens of our sect, there¡¯s no need for such formality.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s skin was smooth and delicate, his skin was faintly emitting a gem-like glow. Although he was over three hundred years old, he looked younger than Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Golden Core ancestor spoke gently. After finishing, he did not waste time and directly asked them about all the details of their journey to the Lonely Soul Ridge.


    At first, of course, he asked Shan Hongyi.


    The piece of Void Mysterious Stone was held by Zhou Shengqing. After confirming that it was real, he asked Yan Jinye how she had discovered the cave dwelling.


    ¡°It was at a small trading fair. I exchanged a bottle of pills that are useful for breaking through the early Foundation Establishment stage for a fragment of a treasure map. After studying the maps in the Book Pavilion, I filled in the information on the map and found the location of Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    -By the way, Madam Guo, who led me into this trading fair, is the Foundation Establishment elder of the Guo family..¡±

 Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: Chapter 261: Void Stone 3

    Chapter 314: Chapter 261: Void Stone 3


    ¡°Before I went to explore the Solitary Soul Ridge Cave, for safety¡¯s sake, after Mei sister agreed to go with me, I also sought out Mrs. Guo from the Guo family.¡±


    After Yan Jinye finished speaking, Zhou Shengqing asked a few more questions, all of which Yan answered one by one.


    ¡°What is the background of the Guo family?¡±


    Hearing the ancestor¡¯s question, Meng Hong on the side immediately answered.


    ¡°They are one of the immortal-cultivating families of Jian Country. They have two Foundation Establishment cultivators and are considered one of the top forces outside our sect.¡±


    ¡°Would wiping out their clan have any impact?¡±


    Upon hearing this sentence, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. The customs of Tianhe Realm were quite ruthless.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t work. There is another Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Guo family called Guo Boyear.¡±


    ¡°Who is Guo Boyear?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing looked puzzled. He did not have this name in his memory.


    ¡°He is a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Five Elements Sect. Even though it has been a long time since he returned to the Guo family, he still has to consider the influence of that side.¡±


    Upon hearing the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s expression seemed to understand.


    It¡¯s not that he was scared, but if he had to fight with the Five Elements Sect again over this trivial matter, it would surely affect his solitary cultivation. He still has some hope for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and can¡¯t waste any more time.


    ¡°Alright then, you let Cang Qi and Lu Yi pay attention to this Guo family. If anything happens, then we will act.¡±


    After saying these words, suddenly two Foundation Establishment cultivators whom Chen Mobai had never seen before came in.


    ¡°Pay respects to Elder Zhou.¡±


    One of them was dressed in a luxurious robe with a Jade Crown on his head, had a regular face, and his mustache was extremely symmetrical.


    The other one was neither tall nor fat, had a waxen complexion, and looked like an old farmer.


    The two have completely different temperaments, but after they came in, they first paid homage to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Hmm, Meng Hong, you tell them the situation.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke and threw the Void Dark Stone Vein in his hand to the mustached cultivator. After the latter looked at it, his face became solemn and he handed it to the old farmer next to him with utmost seriousness.


    ¡°Tell me your thoughts. The mine vein is under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Vein department, and the Spirit Vein department is under the jurisdiction of your Reward Virtue Hall. There must be a rules and regulations.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai already knew the identities of the two.


    They must be the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°This mine vein belongs to our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    The Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall stated his position as soon as he spoke.


    ¡°Other veins, probably the other sects will let it go. However, because the Void Dark Stone Vein is necessary for setting up the Teleportation Array, even if it is in our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s territory, a dispute may need to be initiated.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s face showed worry. As the Sect Leader, he had to consider the whole picture.


    ¡°I think we first need to ascertain the yield of the mine vein. If it is just a minor vein like the one at Shake Mountain, the other sects probably won¡¯t risk battling with the two old ancestors.¡±


    The Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department spoke maturely.


    ¡°What if the vein is big?¡±


    The one who asked this question was Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to share some of it with Golden Cliff.¡±


    The one who answered was the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall.


    ¡°Sigh, the Void Dark Stone Vein, I really don¡¯t want to give it up.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing say this, everyone present looked at each other.


    From the old ancestor¡¯s words, does he want to fight?

    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. The Divine Wood Sect could secretly mine this vein without letting others know.


    But he knew that if the idea was so simple, everyone in the hall would certainly know it, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.


    ¡°Ma Gang, first go and ascertain the size of the mine vein.¡±


    Finally, Zhou Shengqing made a decision and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department took his leave after taking the assignment.


    Mei Jingjun, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Spirit Vein department and familiar with the Solitary Soul Ridge, also followed him out..

 Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Chapter 262: Harvest—1

    Chapter 315: Chapter 262: Harvest¡ª1


    Shan Hongyi discovered the Void Dark Stone Vein, a significant achievement.


    Upon hearing that he lost a defensive magic weapon in the Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou compensated him with two Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talismans that he had personally crafted.


    Each of these talismans can be used three times to defend against any attack from cultivators under the Gold Core realm.


    In terms of value, they are even more precious than some enchanted treasures.


    Placed for auction in the Fang Market, each one would fetch a value of at least three or four thousand spirit stones.


    For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is indeed a lifeline.


    When Shan Hongyi received the two talismans, Chen Mobai saw his hands trembling slightly.


    Despite his envy, he felt balanced as the original mineral spirit stone he received was of much more value.


    ¡°Both of you have made contributions too. I¡¯ll reward you with some spirit stones and sect contribution points.


    Before Zhou Shengqing left, he pointed to Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye and left these words behind.


    ¡°Yes, ancestor.¡±


    As the sect leader, Meng Hong immediately responded respectfully to the place where Zhou Shengqing had disappeared.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chu, what do you think would be an appropriate reward?


    After Meng Hong got up, he asked Chu Zuoshu, the hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, who hesitated slightly.


    Normally, he would certainly hold back a bit, but since it¡¯s the ancestor¡¯s orders, he should be more generous.


    ¡°Six hundred for Sister Yan each. Chen Mobai slain two Silver Armored Corpses which is a great achievement, how about three thousand?


    ¡°Agreed.¡±


    Upon hearing these numbers, Meng Hong didn¡¯t say much else.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye followed Chu Zuoshu to the Reward Virtue Hall, swiped their sect nameplates, and received their rewards.


    Seeing the three thousand spirit stones and three thousand sect contribution points that Chen Mobai received, Yan Jinye looked very envious.


    However, she considers herself lucky just being able to return alive this time.


    Shan Hongyi came along with them to the Reward Virtue Hall, and then the three of them went to the Alchemy Department together.


    The rewards from Zeng Woyou were yet to be collected.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Yan Jinye gratefully saluted Zeng Woyou. If he hadn¡¯t posted the task and invited Chen Mobai and the others to save her, she would certainly be a corpse by now.


    ¡°It¡¯S nothing, the spirit stones for the task and the expenses are all on your account. I just advanced them for you.¡±


    After Zeng Woyou finished speaking, he took out a bottle of elixir and a jade box from his storage bag.


    The elixir was the ¡°Return the Jade Pill¡± he helped Shan Hongyi refine. It¡¯s very helpful for mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to enhance their realms, and only Zeng Woyou in the entire Divine Wood Sect is confident enough to produce it.


    Of course, since it was Zeng Woyou who asked for help, it was him who provided all the ingredients for the elixir, the Medicinal Materials Spirit Grass.


    Shan Hongyi made a huge gain from this journey.


    After receiving the elixir, he didn¡¯t stay any longer and immediately excused himself to leave.


    He was eager to return, to count this time¡¯s losses and gains.


    ¡°Brother Chen, this is yours.¡±


    Zeng Woyou handed over another jade box to Chen Mobai. Chen opened it and saw inside.


    As expected, there were three bamboo fruits, still with some crystal-clear dew, seemingly freshly picked.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    His primary goal this time was Tree Fruit, but considering the current situation, it¡¯s not good to discuss too much with Yan Jinye.


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with receiving three Bamboo Fruits.


    After all, he will only consume the Tree Fruits once a complete set is collected. As long as Yan Jinye has it, there will always be opportunities in the future. ¡°Brother Chen, I shall pay a visit to express my gratitude for saving my life once my injuries are fully healed.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was about to leave, Yan Jinye specially escorted him out the door, expressing her gratitude in her words.


    After all, despite Shan Hongyi¡¯s significant contribution of discovering the Void Dark Stone Vein to the sect, their safe return from the Lonely Spirit Ridge was thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s formidable Sword Dao.


    ¡°By the way, junior sister, I have a little disciple¡­


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought it would be too blunt to directly mention the Tree Fruit, so he used Zhuo Ming as an excuse to invite Yan Jinye to visit Xiao Nanshan and give some guidance when she¡¯s free.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    Yan Jinye promised without hesitation. After all, she had always wanted to make friends with promising senior brother Chen Mobai, but hardly had the chance.


    Now that they share a bond forged in life and death, and being proactively invited by him, she promised to visit in a few days.


    After returning to Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai began to count his gains.


    He had learned quite a bit from this year¡¯s Treasure Appraisal course and quickly deduced most of the usage techniques for the golden jade axe. Although the practice method was simple, the power of this magic artifact was far from insignificant.


    After trying it, Chen Mobai found that without the reinforcement of the Qingyang Fire Seed, his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, in terms of pure attack, might be slightly inferior to it.


    This Golden Jade Axe could be classified as a top-notch Rank-2 magic artifact. In the market, such an artifact could sell for up to sixteen to seventeen hundred spirit stones. If auctioned, it might even exceed two thousand spirit stones with enough demand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, after testing its power, Chen Mobai felt that the Flying Sparrow Hairpin was more suitable for him.


    The artifact Meng Hong gave him was quite insightful as it could perfectly combine his Qingyang Fire Seed and Purple Fire Sword Light to enhance its power.


    Combined, those surpassed the power of the Golden Jade Axe by far.


    Putting down the axe, he took out the five-colored Lotus Lamp, used his Appraisal knowledge to deduce its functionality, and merely found out that after injecting spiritual power, it could emit a defensive flame.


    However, Chen Mobai felt he could use this mysterious artifact to hone his appraisal abilities..

 Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: Chapter 262: Harvest 2

    Chapter 316: Chapter 262: Harvest 2


    Once he could fully understand the function and the training methods of this magical artifact, then his treasure appraisal skills can be said to have reached a professional level.


    Moreover, he is going to reside in the Tianhe Realm for a long time, and since Mmg Yuhua has also started focusing on secluded cultivation and Foundation Establishment after mastering the boundary law, he might not have any spare time to help him with appraisal.


    After storing the two appraised magical artifacts in his storage bag, Chen Mobai took out all his spirit stones.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, cultivators at Foundation Establishment stage are entitled to receive eight hundred spirit stones every year for their cultivation purpose.


    Chen Mobai also has the identity of a member of the Spirit Plant department, but since all the main positions are already filled, he can only receive six hundred spirit stones annually, which is the department¡¯s elder benefit.


    Adding these all up, he had received a total of one thousand four hundred spirit stones last year.


    If you add the ones given by Meng Hong, minus the ones used for cultivation and for the Formless puppet, Chen Mobai had 93 intermediate grade spirit stones left.


    Today, he collected 30 intermediate grade spirit stones from the Reward Virtue Hall, which is equivalent to more than two years of sect benefits.


    However, these added up are still less valuable than the original ore spirit stone from the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    This could probably be equivalent to three to four hundred intermediate grade spirit stones. Just in terms of value, it could be enough to buy ten Rank-3 Lingye Talismans.


    However, what excited Chen Mobai the most was this block of silver-grey array plate in his hand.


    The books that he had plundered from that cave dwelling were all records of the Underworld Array.


    All twelve volumes, from selecting a suitable terrain, forging Array Flags, Array Plates, to setting up the formation, activating, maintaining, and using the formation, were all described in detail.


    But that wasn¡¯t what shocked Chen Mobai.


    The content noted in the final three volumes seemed unbelievable even for him as a person from the Immortal Sect.


    This Underworld Array can actually integrate with the human body. If one refines Array into the body, they can teleport within a certain range.


    This teleportation distance depends on the realm of the cultivator who refined the array into their body, as well as the quantity of Void Stone absorbed by the array plate.


    Chen Mobai felt that this formation suits him very well.


    After all, he shuttles between two worlds every day, inherently giving him a connection with these spatial techniques.


    The unfortunate thing is that Array Refining into Body requires maintaining the array first.


    The array plate needs to be whole at least.


    Looking at the three-quarters assembled silver-grey array plate in his hand, Chen Mobai nodded.


    Only the final corner piece is missing; perhaps one day he will see it at a stall in the Fang Market of the Tianhe Realm.


    Once the array plate becomes complete, the cultivator¡¯s body needs to be robust, because only those with strong bodies can shuttle freely in the void.


    This would be a bit tricky.


    After all, Chen Mobai is just a Sword Cultivator, famously known for high offense and low defense.


    The other cultivation technique for gaining immortality also focuses on a broad application of spells.


    There are a lot of body training techniques in the Divine Wood Sect, the most famous of which is certainly the ¡°Longevity Taoist body.¡± However, when Chen Mobai thought about how this technique requires Elixir of Longevity to be fully accomplished, he felt he wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate it.


    The ¡°Mixed Gold Copper Body¡± practiced by Bi Yiyuan is also excellent, but this technique is best for those with metal spiritual roots.


    The rest, like ¡°Wood Spirit Body,¡± ¡°Water Elemental Body,¡± and so on, are most powerful for assisting the corresponding attribute of spiritual energy refinement and improvement. It¡¯s unclear if the strength of the physical body can meet the requirements of the Underworld Array.


    The Pure Yang Daoist Body he is cultivating only enhances spiritual roots and the pre-natal Yuan Yang.


    As for the body refining technique, he could look in the Immortal Sect.


    After all, in terms of cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai still feels the Immortal Sect is more mature.


    Although due to the cost of many resources, very few people in the Immortal


    Sect practice body refining techniques, at least the system of cultivation techniques in the Immortal Sect is much more complete than in the Tianhe Realm.


    After thinking about this, Chen Mobai carefully put the array plate away.


    This trip to the Lonely Spirit Ridge had granted him the Underworld Array, which might even be valued above the tree fruit of long life.


    Indeed, the fixation of cultivators in the Tianhe Realm on exploring ancient cave dwellings does make sense.


    If one stays in their own sect every day, it might be safe, but surely there wouldn¡¯t be such huge gains.


    Emotionally charged, even Chen Mobai¡¯s normally cautious demeanor began to waver.


    He had to drop a few drops of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to calm his mind.


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai was having a pleasant conversation with Yan Jinye, while Zhuo


    Ming was serving at the side.


    There were also two male and female Qi Cultivation disciples in Alchemist


    Department uniforms who respectfully stood by.


    ¡°That¡¯s the general idea, but if you want to turn the Hundred Herb Elixir and the Restoring God Soup into medicinal liquor, you still need lots of trials ¡±


    After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s idea, Yan Jinye quickly proposed a solution based on her Rank-2 Alchemist abilities.


    However, as she is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, she probably wouldn¡¯t spend too much time on such trivial matters.


    These two are disciples from my Alchemy Department. You can exchange ideas with them in the future.¡±


    The two disciples that Yan Jinye brought immediately stepped forward and greeted them. They were also excited about this matter because they could get two Rank-i elixir formulas for free.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Tianhe Realm, elixir formulas are the most precious inheritance among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    Zhuo Mmg, under Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, took the two Alchemy Department¡¯s disciples to the wine cellar for a trial run.


    ¡°I heard, junior sister, that you got a Tree Fruit of Longevity in the Divine Tree Secret Realm?¡±


    After the two were left alone, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and felt it¡¯s better to ask directly.


    ¡°This¡­ did brother Zhou tell you?¡±

 Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Chapter 262: Harvest_3

    Chapter 317: Chapter 262: Harvest_3


    Only Yan Jinye¡¯s mentor Zeng Woyou and Zhou Wangshen knew about her harvest in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, with the latter being more likely to leak the information.


    ¡°It seems so, Sister Yan, don¡¯t get me wrong. I¡¯m just curious.¡±


    ¡°Brother Chen, you flatter me. Indeed, I have acquired a Tree Fruit of Longevity that I dare not use. Since you brought it up, could it be that you are interested in this Fruit of Longevity?¡±


    As one of the selected Foundation Establishment geniuses of this generation, Yan Jinye was also perceptive. With just one sentence from Chen Mobai, she understood his meaning.


    ¡°To be honest with you, Sister Yan, I obtained an alchemy technique before joining the sect. Apart from practicing the Sword Dao, I also attempt to refine some elixirs in my spare time. The Tree Fruit of Longevity is undoubtedly a very precious spirit fruit. I was wondering if I could use the alchemy technique to remove its side effects, so upon hearing that you have one, I presumptuously asked.¡±


    ¡°Oh, does Brother Chen¡¯s alchemy technique come with elixir formulas?¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Jinye¡¯s eyes lit up.


    You must know, the key factor for an alchemist to grow is the number of elixir formulas they have at hand.


    The reason why Zeng Woyou is the number one Alchemy Master of the Divine Wood Sect is because he is a disciple of the Elder Zhou, and he obtained twenty-four elixir formulas from the Sect.


    Although Yan Jinye is his disciple, she could only assist him with the herbs before he passed away.


    If she wanted to have access to the Sect¡¯s elixir formulas, she had to rely on her own contribution points to exchange for them one by one.


    Up to now, she had only exchanged for four elixir formulas from the Sect.


    All her previous contribution points were spent buying Foundation Building Pills.


    In addition to these two, she has three other formulas that she acquired herself by buying or trading in the outside market.


    Unsightly as it might seem, she, as a Rank-2 Alchemist, can only concoct five types of Rank-1 elixirs and one type of Rank-2 elixir.


    Being able to get the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup for free today, not to mention those two Qi-Cultivation disciples, even she, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was very pleased.


    ¡°I do have a few elixir formulas.¡±


    Chen Mobai, pretending to be hesitant, gave a small hint.


    ¡°If the elixir formula provided by Brother Chen is valuable enough, I am willing to exchange this Fruit of Longevity for it.¡±


    Yan Jinye, being a generous woman, on seeing things come to this point, directly took out the jade box containing the Fruit of Longevity from her storage bag.


    ¡°May I know what kind of elixir formula Sister Yan needs?¡±


    ¡°Oh, does Brother Chen have many elixir formulas from his alchemy technique?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Jinye¡¯s eyes lit up and she became excited.


    ¡°Not too many, but not too few either.¡±


    While Chen Mobai said this, he was thinking about the countless elixir formulas that could be downloaded from the Immortal Sect Network.


    All knowledge within the Immortal Sect is shared. Unlike the Daoism books and cultivation techniques, which require points to read or watch, most of the elixir formulas are free.


    In addition to the Immortal Sect requiring the elixir formula to be attached to each bottle of spiritual water, giving the elixir formula alone to an ordinary cultivator would hardly lead to the concoction of a Danless Poison Elixir that meets the Immortal Sect standards.


    ¡°You are well aware of the value of an elixir formula, Sister Yan. Even the most ordinary lower-grade Rank-2 elixir formula sells for two to three thousand Spirit Stones on the market. Although our relationship is quite strong, your Fruit of Longevity has too many side effects, so at most, I can only exchange it for two or three formulas.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai looked at the Tree Fruit of Longevity with a hesitant expression, as if he was not too keen on making the exchange.


    Seeing him like this, Yan Jinye got anxious.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I have saved up 3,200 Spirit Stones. Along with this Fruit of Longevity, could you please give me three formulas? If you ever need any elixirs concocted in the future and I am available, I will definitely not delay.¡±


    [Who needs you to concoct elixirs, I have already trained Qing Nu!]


    Although these thoughts were crossing the mind of Chen Mobai, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh, still appearing somewhat unwilling on his face.

 Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Chapter 263: Exchanging Pill Prescription for Tree Fruit_1

    Chapter 318: Chapter 263: Exchanging Pill Prescription for Tree Fruit_1


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I will forever remember your immense kindness and grace,¡±


    After receiving the alchemy recipe from Chen Mobai, Yan Jinye, her face flushed with excitement, emptied all the spirit stones in her storage bag.


    Chen Mobai looked distressed as usual.


    He accepted Yan Jinye¡¯s spirit stones ¨C over a dozen intermediate-grade ones and a pile of lower-grade ones ¨C placing them into his own storage bag as if he had suffered a great loss.


    ¡°Junior Sister, since this alchemy recipe is so precious, you must study and practice it on your own. You must absolutely not share it with anyone else,¡± Chen Mobai sternly warned.


    As a professional in the field, Yan Jinye immediately made a solemn Daoist vow. Her teacher, Zeng Woyou, had obtained all of the alchemy recipes from the Divine Wood Sect, but he could only study and comprehend them on his own.


    So, if Yan Jinye wants a certain alchemy recipe, she can only buy or trade for it herself.


    In the Tianhe realm, knowledge is extremely precious.


    After seeing off Yan Jinye, who had gained a lot and left with an empty bag of Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai turned to the Jade Box on his table with a smile.


    Inside, a fist-sized fruit with a grey shell and a white mark caught his eyes. It was a Tree Fruit.


    Picking up the fruit, Chen Mobai felt like he was holding an extremely massive and profound clump of energy.


    According to the description in the Dual-phase Rotation technique, a white mark signifies a small fruit, which is perfect for him.


    If he consumed it right away, he could rapidly break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    But of course, Chen Mobai would not act rashly. As long as the shell of the fruit remains intact, it can be preserved for a long time.


    He put the Tree Fruit back into the Jade Box with satisfaction.


    A high tower rises from the ground. Having obtained the first fruit is a good start.


    If he could really collect a set of three fruits, he would consider consuming them. If not, he could treat it as a collection of a rare and exotic treasure.


    However, now that he had the first fruit, he began to consider replenishing his lifespan.


    This was not something he would attempt to solve within the Tianhe realm.


    The Crimson City Cave Sky hosts a Life-Extension Cultivation Institute ¨C a university specialized in this field. Luckily, there seemed to be an event in the second half of the year that all universities in the cave sky will participate in.


    As a representative of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could take this opportunity to exchange ideas with students from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    It¡¯s a pity that Kong Feichen has joined the Ascension Sect. Otherwise, he could have asked him to check some relevant information in the Imperial Medical Academy.


    However, the origin of alchemy in the Immortal Sector comes from the Jumang Daoist Academy, maybe he could ask Qing Nu about it too.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai left a Message Talisman for Zhuo Ming, stating that he was closing down, before he sealed off the peak of Xiao Nanshan again.


    Now that he had obtained the Tree Fruit from Yan Jinye, his purpose for staying in the Tianhe Realm had been fulfilled. He could return to the Immortal Sector to handle the matters he had been pondering.


    Amidst the shimmering silver light, Chen Mobai, having returned to the Treasure Trove, opened his eyes.


    First, he called Qing Nu to deepen their relationship and ask if she was available at the end of the year.


    The Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was almost depleted, and he wanted to ask Qing Nu to help brew two more portions.


    Since Vermillion Fruit could only be exchanged with credits at the end of the year, he was just trying to arrange a time with Qing Nu for then.


    By the way, during the call, he would inquire about replenishing his lifespan.


    However, the call was not connected, and an automated text message was returned.


    As it turned out, Qing Nu had sensed an opportunity and got a glimpse of the Dao. She was now in seclusion, working on her Foundation Establishment.


    Not just Chen Mobai, everyone was unable to reach her.


    After reading the message, Chen Mobai was genuinely happy for Qing Nu.


    After all, throughout his journey, he didn¡¯t have many friends.


    And Qing Nu was one of his best friends.


    In the long future, if he could indeed reach the Core Formation stage, the only friend who could accompany him would probably be Qing Nu, who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    [You will definitely succeed.]


    After sending a message back, Chen Mobai left the Treasure Trove.


    Since Qing Nu couldn¡¯t be counted on for the time being, Chen Mobai had another good friend ¨C Wang Xingyu.


    As the top alchemist of the class of 5012, he had passed the examination for a Rank-2 Alchemist¡¯s certificate and was a genuine genius.


    Moreover, last year, it was Wang Xingyu who had helped Chen Mobai select a high-quality Vermillion Fruit. His contribution to the success of Qing Nu¡¯s Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was undeniable.


    However, thinking that he currently had three Bamboo Fruits but not enough credits to exchange for three Vermillion Fruits at the end of the year made Chen Mobai feel a bit gloomy.


    A Vermillion Fruit of Rank-2 cost 20 credits. If he had not mooched ten semesters of credits from the Sword Control Department this year, he could probably only exchange for one at the end of the year.


    Immediately after exiting the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°Old Chen? What a surprise!¡± came Wang Xingyu¡¯s surprised voice from the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Bro, the merchant who cultivates bamboo has matured three more Bamboo Fruits this year. Could you help me choose three high-quality Vermillion Fruits again?¡±


    ¡°No problem, but do you have enough credits?¡±


    ¡°Enough for two.¡±


    Wang Xingyu was a man of his word. After ending the call, he immediately guided Chen Mobai to a robust, luxuriant Vermillion Fruit Tree in Building Three.


    On the thickest brown branch, there were three fiery red fruits. From a distance, they looked like red jade, brimming with elemental energy.

 Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: Chapter 263 – Trading Pills for Tree Fruits_2

    Chapter 319: Chapter 263 ¨C Trading Pills for Tree Fruits_2


    ¡°These three fruits are definitely of excellent quality.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and then asked Wang Xingyu if he was confident about producing Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    ¡°I can try, but I wouldn¡¯t say I¡¯m a hundred percent confident. This stuff is a bit offbeat, any Rank-3 alchemist or specialist who tried to produce it would likely end up with an excessive amount of pill toxicity.¡±


    As good brothers, Wang Xingyu told the blunt truth.


    ¡°What about if there were Spiritual Extracts?¡±


    ¡°If you add this gem to the mix, I might just barely manage to try, but there would still be a fifty percent chance that the pill toxicity would exceed the limit.¡±


    Meaning, he wasn¡¯t particularly confident about it.


    That wasn¡¯t like Qing Nu, she had succeeded on her first attempt.


    Chen Mobai quietly made a comparison in his heart.


    However, even if there was pill toxicity, as long as it wasn¡¯t too high, he wasn¡¯t afraid of it.


    His newly developed Flame Lighting Technique would be put to good use.


    ¡°I happen to have some Spiritual Extracts on me. Could you help me refine it? You can name the price.¡±


    Chen Mobai was always straightforward¡ªhe laid it all out on the table.


    ¡°You have them? This stuff is really rare. Our instructor says it is to force us to improve our alchemy under harsh conditions, so he doesn¡¯t give us any Spiritual Extracts. But isn¡¯t he basically just keeping our share for himself?¡±


    Wang Xingyu complained, suggesting that the instructors of their Alchemy Department were not as affectionate towards their students as those of other departments.


    ¡°By the way, where did you get this Spiritual Extract? Don¡¯t they distribute it exclusively to our Alchemy Department every month?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai calmly gave the excuse he had prepared earlier.


    ¡°You know I¡¯m in the Puppet Lines department. Spirit Stones are used as the energy source, and after many recharges, they easily wear out.¡±


    ¡°That makes sense.¡± Wang Xingyu agreed, then asked, ¡°By the way, old Chen, do you have a lot of Spiritual Extracts?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated at this question.


    He had an overabundance of the stuff.


    The formulas from the Immortal Door, and the Spiritual Extracts from Tianhe Realm, all provided him with a virtually inexhaustible wealth.


    But one shouldn¡¯t brag about his wealth, even in front of his best friend. There are certain things he needed to keep hidden.


    ¡°I have some, but not much.¡±


    After hearing this, Wang Xingyu shook his head regretfully.


    ¡°If you had more, I would help you make connections.¡±


    ¡°One of the seniors in our Alchemy Department exchanged for a Vermillion Fruit at the end of last year. He wanted to refine a Fire Origin Pill, but because of the poor cultivation of one of the key ingredients by the supplier, the medicinal efficacy didn¡¯t meet the standards, and the Vermillion Fruit is still lying around.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing to trade with Spiritual Extracts, I¡¯m sure he¡¯d be interested.¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai¡¯s tone immediately changed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a lot, but my teacher has saved quite a bit.¡±


    ¡°Director Che!?¡±


    Everyone knew that Chen Mobai had become a disciple of Che Yucheng.


    Wang Xingyu didn¡¯t doubt it.


    ¡°Brother, can you ask about it first? A Vermillion Fruit can only be stored for one or two years after being picked. I can take over, and he can pass it on¡ªit would be a win-win.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a persuasive argument, and Wang Xingyu immediately made a call.


    Both sides were interested, and the deal was immediately struck.


    Chen Mobai pretended to go to Che Yucheng¡¯s office, then came back with a bag full of Spiritual Extracts and gave it to Wang Xingyu. Holding the bag of Spiritual Extracts, the latter left as a confident middleman.


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai looked at the Vermillion Fruit that was brought back, feeling very satisfied.


    Now, he wouldn¡¯t run out of medicine.


    He could use the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew till the end of the year. Then, he could exchange for two Vermillion Fruits, which would last for another year.


    However, while he had both key ingredients, he still needed to buy the auxiliary ingredients from the Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai simply didn¡¯t expect to get the Vermillion Fruit so quickly.


    Since he had gone through the experience once and had learned how to identify medicinal herbs this year, he managed to translate all twenty-four auxiliary medicinal names into those of the Tianhe Realm.


    He gave this task to his biggest disciple, Liu Wenbo, who had just solidified his Rank-9 Qi Cultivation and confidently claimed he¡¯d complete the task within three days.


    Soon, Chen Mobai handed over the complete set of two main drugs and twenty-four auxiliary drugs required for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to Wang Xingyu.


    On Wang Xingyu¡¯s strong insistence, the reward for alchemy was switched from Good Deed Points to two pieces of Spiritual Extracts.


    Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t trick his good brother. He promptly handed over three pieces of Spiritual Extracts, delighting Wang Xingyu immensely.


    After accomplishing this task, Chen Mobai took a basket of fruits and visited his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    Having spent a long time in the Treasure Trove, he hadn¡¯t attended Puppetry Technique class in a while. Fortunately, the knowledge was already his, so there was no fear of forgetting it.


    Che Yucheng had essentially passed to him all of his Puppetry Technique traditions, leaving only practice and manufacturing exercises for Chen Mobai to work on.


    This is generally how things go on the Immortal Cultivation side.


    After Foundation Establishment, due to the powerful Divine Sense, knowledge could basically be self-taught. The difference lay in whether or not time was spent for focused improvements.


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat remorseful. He was busy honing his spells, but indeed he did not put much heart into Puppetry Technique.


    But Che Yucheng didn¡¯t reproach him. After all, Chen Mobai had just started his Foundation Establishment, with more than two hundred years ahead.


    Typically, Foundation Establishment cultivators would commit time to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal only when their cultivation level reached a standstill.


    Though Che Yucheng didn¡¯t mention anything, Chen Mobai made a firm decision to practice Puppetry Technique whenever he had a chance.


    ¡°By the way, teacher, I hear there¡¯s a cross-university exchange event in Crimson City at the end of the year?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the event he had heard of.


    ¡°Right, are you interested?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t my Pure Yang Scroll stuck in Qi Cultivation Perfection, struggling to seize the chance of Foundation Establishment? I thought I might exchange ideas with talents from other universities to find some inspiration.¡±


    In reality, he wanted to communicate with students from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, but he couldn¡¯t reveal that he might need to consume lifespan, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to make his purpose clear.


    ¡°This year¡¯s Crimson City cross-university exchange is a bit different. Our Daoist Academy may send out more senior students.¡±


    ¡°How is it different?¡±


    Chen Mobai was curious.


    ¡°It happens to be the six thousandth anniversary of Crimson City. Heavyweights from the celestial realm would be coming and apart from our Dance Tool Dao Academy, the other three major Daoist Academies might also send people to join the celebration.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai sensed a potentially troublesome situation.


    He figured he might as well give it a miss, after all, he hadn¡¯t gathered all the Tree Fruits. He could wait for the next one.


    ¡°However, since you are interested, I, as your teacher, will surely arrange it for you. Rest assured, our Academy is bound to have a place for you.¡±


    But to his surprise, Che Yucheng misunderstood his intentions thinking he was genuinely seeking opportunities to reach Foundation Establishment and decided to take matters into his own hands.


    At this point, it would be awkward for Chen Mobai to refuse, he would end up slapping his own face.


    He could only grit his teeth and smile at Che Yucheng while expressing his thanks.


    After leaving the office, Chen Mobai, who had inadvertently backfired his own plans, felt somewhat depressed.


    Considering that it had been a while since he caught up with his friends, he invited Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing out for a drink.


    Unfortunately, Ming Yuhua didn¡¯t pick up the call.


    After calling Yunyang Bing, he found out that Ming Yuhua had gone into closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment.


    Since mastering the Law Body at the threshold, Ming Yuhua had been solely focused on Foundation Establishment. Once he tuned his mental and physical state to its peak, he dove back into the cultivation room.


    Although he knew other people from the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai usually communicated more with Wang Xingyu, who was now switched off his phone to concentrate on refining Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    Consequently, Chen Mobai could only go drinking with Yunyang Bing.


    It was a good opportunity to ask about the Array Refining into Body technique.


    He discovered that there were similar Cultivation Techniques in the celestial realm.


    ¡°Look.¡±


    Yunyang Bing showed Chen Mobai his right pinky finger.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The fingernail was black and stood out.


    ¡°You got a manicure?¡±


    ¡°Nonsense. This is the Array Refining into Body. I can only try out the Spirit Gathering Array on this little spot because of my weak cultivation level. Don¡¯t underestimate this small fingernail. It¡¯s capable of enhancing a Rank-1 Spirit Vein to Rank-2.¡±


    Listening to Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    There really were all kinds of Cultivation Techniques in the celestial realm.

 Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: Chapter 264: Map of Treasures_1

    Chapter 320: Chapter 264: Map of Treasures_1


    In the history of Immortal Gates, there was a brilliantly talented Rank-5 Array Master who proposed the ultimate conjecture for formations.


    That a person can become a formation, encompassing the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, skys, and seas, omnipresent and all-encompassing.


    However, to refine a formation into the body truly requires a body suited to the formation and a sufficiently strong Divine Sense.


    Yunyang Bing passed the Immortal Gate¡¯s Rank-2 Array Master test, but he only dared to refine a small Spirit Gathering Array on his own thumbnail, just to give a small trial to this path.


    Even so, he barely managed to finish under the guidance of his formation lesson teacher.


    However, it was precisely because he had refined a Spirit Gathering Array into his body, that Yunyang Bing¡¯s attainment on this path began to progress by leaps and bounds. Last year, he even developed a special Spirit Gathering Array that could raise a Rank-3 top-grade Spirit Vein to Rank-4.


    Ming Yuhua was able to condense ten droplets of liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power during her first Foundation Establishment attempt because she borrowed this array.


    Chen Mobai provided Yunyang Bing with some introductory books, all of which could be borrowed from the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Half a month later, he received from Wang Xingyu, who looked ashamed, the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew that had exceeded the Dan Poison standard by 0.6%.


    Wang Xingyu, an honest person, wanted to return the spiritual extract, and compensate for Chen Mobai¡¯s loss, but the latter treated him like a brother and would never accept it.


    ¡°Inviting someone to do alchemy means taking on some risk of failure. Don¡¯t worry about it, after all, I chose you to do the alchemy.¡±


    Chen Mobai comforted the guilt-ridden Wang Xingyu, carrying what was already very pure-quality Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the Tianhe realm, he returned to the Treasure Trove.


    He first tried out a droplet.


    The effect of the Spirit Dew was almost indistinguishable from what Qing Nu had previously refined.


    After all, it¡¯s only 0.6% Dan Poison. In Chen Mobai¡¯s view, it can already be considered Danless.


    But after using it, when he exerted the Flame Lighting Technique, he felt a subtle warmth in the eye he had dripped.


    He then dripped it again, this time sending the medicinal effect into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    After the Green Paulownia Seedling received the irrigation of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it became more lush and vibrant.


    When the Flame Lighting Technique was applied to the Divine Sense, there was just a warm feeling as usual.


    After confirming that there was no problem with the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu, Chen Mobai began to use it with peace of mind.


    Just as the one Qing Nu had refined was almost depleted.


    After half a year of cultivation, the Void Spirit Eye had made great progress.


    Before the Device Nurturing Sphere that Chen MoBai had found when he first entered the Treasure Trove, he floated in the tunnel, with a clear spiritual light emerging from his eyes.


    He could now see the specific shape of the elongated magic artifact that he could only previously see a blurred outline of.


    He had guessed correctly before, it was indeed a flying sword.


    However, it seemed like the flying sword was broken, so it was constantly absorbing the Essence of Iron to repair itself.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could even clearly see that the wound where the flying sword broke into two parts had already healed halfway.


    But he still couldn¡¯t determine the grade of the flying sword.


    After all, the Device Nurturing Sphere, as one of the masterpieces of the Dance Tools Dao Academy, is an isolated inner and outer world once sealed, almost a complete mini world.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this flying sword needed to absorb the Essence of Iron from the Red Iron Mine to repair itself, and adopted an open seal, unless Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye reached a high level, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to see even its shape.


    Despite this, Chen Mobai was not discouraged.


    He still steadily cultivated according to his own rhythm, the abundant Fire spiritual power of the Treasure Trove, combined with his now exceptional Fire Spirit Root, enhancing the proficiency of all the Fire Attribute techniques he knew.


    One day, while Chen Mobai was practicing the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique, suddenly a strange spiritual power came from the tunnel wall next to him.


    Then a head popped out from within it.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand trembled and a crimson flash of lightning suddenly shot out, just like playing whack-a-mole, it fell onto the head that had mysteriously appeared.


    Boom!


    At a critical moment, Chen Mobai remembered that this area was the Immortal Gate and all who could appear in the Treasure Trove were definitely students of the Dance Tools Dao Academy.


    He activated his Divine Sense, shifting the crimson lightning by an inch, and the head also quickly retreated at the same time.


    The Bing Fire Divine Thunder just grazed past his scalp, leaving a deep mark as large as a fist on the tunnel wall.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the tunnel wall was all Red Iron Mine, this lightning could have caused a collapse.


    ¡°Huff.¡±


    The head poked out from the wall again. Chen Mobai saw clearly this time, it was a short-haired, round-faced youth, still sporting a look of near panic on his face.


    ¡°Senior, my Earth Escape Skill disturbed you, I¡¯m sorry, but you didn¡¯t have to go that hard, did you?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The round-faced youth rubbed the bald patch on his scalp, spoke with a relieved expression, and Chen Mobai listened with a look of apology.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior. I was practicing a technique, and when I got startled, I couldn¡¯t control it and I shot you with electricity¡­¡±


    The two called each other seniors.


    Chen Mobai did this because he knew that he was the latest Foundation Establishment student in the Dance Tools Dao Academy. Anyone in the Treasure Trove who had reached Foundation Establishment, except for Zhongli Tianyu, had to be older than him.


    The round-faced youth, on the other hand, had sensed the power of the lightning just now, and knew he was absolutely no match for it. He thought Chen Mobai was a True Cultivator who was in the highest grade of Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: Chapter 264 Map of Treasures_2

    Chapter 321: Chapter 264 Map of Treasures_2


    After exchanging names, Chen Mobai learned that the man standing before him was Mi Yudao, a student from the 5009th cohort, and was a Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    He specialized in the Earth Escape Technique and was currently one of the teaching assistants in the field of mineral studies.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, everyone from your 5012th cohort has left a deep impression on me.¡±


    Learning that Chen Mobai was only a fifth-grade student, Mi Yudao sighed. He was also surprised by how the incoming generations could surpass the previous ones. But then he said something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You¡¯ve also met Zhongli Tianyu?¡±


    ¡°Ah, I happened to accidentally enter the area where he was cultivating last year. I ended up getting a bump on my head due to his Technique of transforming earth into steel.¡±


    Mi Yudao pointed to the bald spot on his head with slight embarrassment. It was the spot where Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s spell had hit him last year, causing a swelling.


    ¡°Senior Brother Mi, using the Earth Escape Technique so recklessly does seem to be inappropriate.¡±


    Chen Mobai said it tactfully.


    Qin Beichen had told him about the rules of the Treasure Trove. If someone had set up an Array Prohibition, other students should not disturb it.


    After all, the place was vast and the tunnels were nearly infinite for all the Foundation Establishment students of the Daoist Academy, so why create conflict in just one place?


    ¡°I was simply following the Student Association¡¯s instructions to find the Device Nurturing Sphere. I didn¡¯t know that you already claimed what¡¯s here. Had I known, I wouldn¡¯t have come¡­¡±


    Mi Yudao murmured, glancing at the white jade sphere embedded in the red iron ore above Chen Mobai¡¯s head. He sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°Oh, so the Student Association can also manage the affairs of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    This was news to Chen Mobai. The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Student Association was practically non-existent in their first to sixth years, but it was undoubtedly a major force within the academy.


    As one of the ¡°Top Ten Talented Students¡± of the 5012th cohort, Chen Mobai had received an invitation to join the Student Association.


    However, he was busy acquiring the Foundation Building Pills at that time and didn¡¯t even respond.


    Apart from him, others from the Metaphysical Class such as Ming Yuhua, Wang Xingyu, and Yunyang Bing had also received invitations, but they declined because of their high self-esteem.


    Even individuals with a mild temperament such as Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan stated that they wouldn¡¯t consider this matter until they established their Foundation.


    ¡°Not exactly. The Student Association has many talented and unique individuals. They compiled the documents left by the previous senior brothers and sisters, combined them with their own exploration results, discoveries, and deductions to create a Map of Treasures.¡±


    ¡°The map indicates over a thousand specific locations of Device Nurturing Spheres in the Treasure Trove. They offered rewards, and they were willing to transfer 5 credit points to anyone who could find a Device Nurturing Sphere outside of the Map of Treasures.¡±


    ¡°Like me, those who help the Student Association improve the information about the Device Nurturing Sphere recorded on the Map of Treasures can also get 1 credit point.¡±


    Mi Yudao didn¡¯t hide anything. He found Chen Mobai here by following the instructions on the Map of Treasures from the Student Association.


    ¡°So, does that mean the Student Association considers this Device Nurturing Sphere as their own?¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned, looking somewhat discontented.


    Although he didn¡¯t need this flying sword much, it was still the only thing he had gained in the past six months. To be told now that this thing had already been marked by someone else, it was hard not to feel somewhat indignant.


    ¡°Not exactly. Opening a Device Nurturing Sphere requires 100 credit points, and even if all the credit points of the students in the Student Association are added together, they can only exchange at most for 10 Device Pieces.¡±


    ¡°The creation of the Map of Treasures has been a task passed down by the Student Association from generation to generation to prevent some Device Nurturing Sphere seals from exceeding their time limit, leading to the degradation of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and the decay of the magic artifacts inside.¡±


    ¡°Any member of the Student Association can freely view the information on the Map of Treasures, find the information of the magic artifact they need, and thus greatly save everyone¡¯s time.¡±


    Upon hearing this, there was an expression of sudden enlightenment on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He had been wondering before, since the effectiveness of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid only lasts a hundred years. If some Device Nurturing Spheres were deeply hidden and never discovered by anyone, wouldn¡¯t they decay for nothing?


    Obviously, the upper echelon of the Daoist Academy must have realized this point as well, and thus assigned the Student Association to handle this matter.


    ¡°What about non-members of the Student Association? Can we also view the Map of Treasures?¡±


    ¡°You can, but there is a fee of 2 credit points for the information.¡±


    Having heard Mi Yudao¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that he could afford to pay this much in credit points.


    ¡°How do I make the payment?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Mi Yudao naturally couldn¡¯t use the Earth Escape Technique with Chen Mobai in tow. He exited from the mountainside and led Chen Mobai to fly out of the cave opening.


    They then ascended to a height of about a kilometer and flew into a wide cave entrance with a diameter of nearly thirty meters.


    The two continued onward, and Chen Mobai soon heard the sound of rushing water.


    This was an underground stream; he didn¡¯t expect it to be here.


    Looking at the clear and transparent water before his eyes, and the hollow space across the stream that had been excavated, roughly over two hundred meters wide, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    In that massive hollow space across the stream, there were quite a few stone houses, as well as a square that looked like a market place.


    Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao across the stream, and saw a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, similar to white jade, hanging at the entrance of many of the stone houses.


    ¡°These are dead seals, so it¡¯s not an issue to take them out. At the end of the year, everyone will place these on the square, choose one to open, and that sight is truly spectacular.¡±


    After hearing Mi Yudao¡¯s words, Chen Mobai imagined a dazzling scene of over a dozen magic artifacts flying out from the white jade spheres, and nodded.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a dead seal, then there¡¯s no way to know what kind of magic artifact is sealed inside. Could there be a decayed magic artifact?¡±


    ¡°There might be, it¡¯s all about luck. Have you heard of stone gambling? This is the highest-end stone gambling in the celestial door.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, then his face showed realization.


    It can¡¯t be denied, the phrase ¡®stone gambling¡¯ is quite fitting.


    He activated his Void Spirit Eye to look at a dead sealed ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, but found it chaotic and completely unreadable.


    He couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    ¡°Eh, have you also practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes? Does that mean you can see clearly what¡¯s inside the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±?¡±


    Mi Yudao saw the clear luster flashing in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, and his eyes lit up.


    ¡°You could say that, why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°You can exchange the information from that ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ for school credits at the student association, isn¡¯t that the reason I came here for that 1 school credit?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately remembered what Mi Yudao had said earlier and nodded.


    Fortunately, he had plenty of flying swords and had no interest in broken ones.


    They arrived at a three-story house in the middle of the square. Mi Yudao introduced it as the student association¡¯s location.


    The person on duty inside was a stern-looking young man.


    ¡°Tiansuan, why are you the one on duty?¡±


    It seemed that Mi Yudao recognized the stern young man, and greeted him with familiarity.


    ¡°Get to the point.¡±


    The young man¡¯s last name was Lu, and his first name was Tiansuan, a very domineering name. He and Mi Yudao were from the same class.


    ¡°This is Chen Mobai from the 5012 class, also the youngest True Cultivator of Foundation Establishment in our Daoist Academy¡­¡±


    Mi Yudao, with his mild temper, introduced Chen Mobai to Lu Tiansuan, whose expression didn¡¯t change upon hearing this, as if that was always his face.


    ¡°Checking the Map of Treasures once equals 2 school credits.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and handed over his student ID.


    ¡°The Academy originally doesn¡¯t allow the exchange of school credits between students, but the Map of Treasures is one of the few channels that can conduct school credit transactions.¡±


    While Mi Yudao was talking, Lu Tiansuan deducted the school credits and took out a tablet. He opened a software program with a ¡°treasure¡± icon.


    ¡°State your requirements for the magic artifact as specifically as possible. I¡¯ll help you search.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood, so the Map of Treasures was a search engine, with 2 school credits for one search opportunity.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Turtle Treasure seems to have found a place to shine again.


    ¡°I would prefer a Rank-3, suitable for Fire Essence Cultivators to use as a companion item.¡±


    Unfortunately, he found out too late, he already paid the school credits, and it was too embarrassing for Chen Mobai to change his mind, so he could only state his requirement.


    Upon hearing him, Lu Tiansuan and Mi Yudao both rolled their eyes simultaneously.


    If the Map of Treasures could determine which ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± contained a Rank-3 magic artifact, they wouldn¡¯t just charge you these few school credits.

 Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Chapter 265: Using the Elixir from the Tree of Life_1

    Chapter 322: Chapter 265: Using the Elixir from the Tree of Life_1


    ¡°Six-yang Divine Fire Mirror, Luminous Fan, Green Flame Band, Red Jade Silks, Brahman Crossbow, Departure Fire Bell, Great Sun Gold Needle.¡±


    Looking at the names and images of the seven magic artifacts displayed on the tablet, Chen Mobai felt that the two credit points were well spent.


    ¡°No one knows for sure how many Rank-3 magic artifacts are in the Treasure Trove, even the Principal doesn¡¯t have a clear idea. The Map of Treasures inherited by our Student Council only lists those that are known for sure to exist.¡±


    Lu Tiansuan took down Chen Mobai¡¯s contact details and sent him a file containing the search results.


    ¡°That means, these seven Rank-3 magical artifacts are definitely somewhere in the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Upon receiving the file, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hide his excitement.


    He knew that in the Tianhe Realm, even the cheapest Rank-3 magical artifacts would cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.


    These artifacts, meant for Golden Core Cultivators, were of high quality and could even serve as embryos for their destined magical treasures, thus their value was immeasurable.


    ¡°We can only confirm that these seven devices were once sealed in the Device Nurturing Sphere and placed into the Treasure Trove. Whether they are still there now, we cannot guarantee that.¡±


    Lu Tiansuan was meticulous, his words watertight and free of loopholes.


    ¡°After all, some students, even if they find something good, would not readily declare it. So, we can only try our best to perfect the information and contents on the Map of Treasures.¡±


    These were the words of Mi Yudao, who usually earned some credit points by updating information on the Map of Treasures.


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere I found earlier likely contains a broken Flying Sword with a gold attribute¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai sold the details about the Device Nurturing Sphere he had discovered to the Student Council. It was worth one credit point, nothing to be sneezed at.


    ¡°Alright, thank you for the information provided.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s description, Lu Tiansuan, referring to the data maintained by the Student Council from graduates, already had four or five guesses about the origins of this sword.


    Once everything was finished, Mi Yudao left with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior, are you interested in partnering with me?¡±


    Being skilled in the Earth Escape Technique, Mi Yudao thought that if he could pair up with Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes, they could both easily earn some credit points.


    After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai found the idea rather reasonable.


    Finding the Device Nurturing Sphere would prove most difficult. After that, using various methods to discover and examine the sealed devices inside was uncomplicated by comparison.


    Perfectly, Mi Yudao had found eight Device Nurturing Spheres unrecorded on the Map of Treasures that year: four dead-seals and four live-seals.


    The four live-sealed ones were also examined by another True Cultivator from the Student Council who cultivated the Art of Spiritual Eyes. He had to share the one credit point fee earned for the information.


    ¡°Since the senior said so, naturally, I am willing. There is no need for any credit points, given that you are the one doing all the hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai just wanted to broaden his horizon.


    Furthermore, finding a Rank-3 artifact himself would probably take an indeterminate amount of time, it would be more effective relying on Mi Yudao, who was more experienced.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao to a Device Nurturing Sphere hanging at a tunnel entrance.


    Activating his Void Spirit Eye, he saw inside a bell-shaped artifact as though guarding the cave tunnel, absorbing Fire spiritual power.


    Next, they visited three more sites with live-sealed artifacts.


    He saw inside a Pagoda, a Jade Page Book, and a Water Divider Fork.


    ¡°Excellent, excellent. Junior, your Art of Spiritual Eyes is no worse than Vice President Ming. The items you saw are identical.¡±


    After testing Chen Mobai¡¯s mettle, Mi Yudao nodded approvingly.


    He then took Chen Mobai to inspect the remaining four dead-seal Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Despite all his efforts, Chen Mobai was unable to see the shape of the devices inside.


    ¡°In this Device Nurturing Sphere, Vice President Ming saw a square shadow. He suggested it might be a box.¡±


    Pointing to a Device Nurturing Sphere placed in the underground stream, Mi Yudao said something that took Chen Mobai aback.


    Considering this Device Nurturing Sphere was dead-sealed, being able to peer through the seal meant that Vice President Ming¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes exceeded his own.


    ¡°Not necessarily so, it¡¯s just that his Art of Spiritual Eyes leans towards the water attribute. So if the sealed device also has a water attribute, he can see a vague image.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s exclamation, Mi Yudao, shaking his head, explained the reason.


    ¡°What about you? What attribute does your Spirit Eye possess?¡±


    ¡°Fire, I guess.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated briefly before offering a hypothetical attribute.


    In fact, the Void Spirit Eye does not lean towards any particular attribute, it is the most popular and adaptable Art of the Spirit Eye in the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. If only it were Gold or Earth attributes.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Wearing a face of regret, Mi Yudao lamented. His True Spirit Root bore dual attributes¡ªGold and Earth. For this reason, he could cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, freely traveling under the earth¡¯s surface.


    This is why he spent so much time in the Treasure Trove, in search of a Rank-3 magic artifact suitable for him.


    However, no Rank-3 magical artifact has been unearthed in the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy for nearly two decades.


    After bidding him farewell, Chen Mobai randomly chose a tunnel entrance, set up an Array Prohibition to claim the area, and perused the data on the seven Rank-3 magical artifacts given to him by Lu Tiansuan.


    Not only were there appraisal reports of the magic artifacts, but there were also biographies of their previous users, and even records of the year they were placed in the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: Chapter 265 Using the Tree of Longevity Juice_2

    Chapter 323: Chapter 265 Using the Tree of Longevity Juice_2


    Most unexpectedly, there were even incantations provided for the use of the magic artifacts.


    One could only say that these 2 credits were worth it, or perhaps the intention of the Dance Tool Dao Academy student council was intentionally for them to use more of the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After all, once the incantation was obtained, there would be this intriguing notion that only an artifact was missing.


    After reading through the presentations of the seven Rank-3 magical artifacts, Chen Mobai was a little restless.


    He took out his Device Piece, eager to open one to test his luck.


    However, in the end, he regained his calmness.


    ¡°As long as I keep practicing the Void Spirit Eye persistently, one-day I will be able to see through the Dead Seal Device.¡±


    With that thought, Chen Mobai droplets of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew on himself again.


    After completing the fire attribute spell practice in the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai was transferred to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to continue practicing the wood attribute spells from the method of Immortality.


    After all the spells of the two systems were practiced, Chen Mobai was about to visit Xiao Nanshan again.


    Looking at the towering Magic Treasure Tree before him, he suddenly remembered that he still had a drop of ¡°Longevity Tree Juice¡±.


    Can this stuff be used to cultivate the Void Spirit Eye?


    Rashly using his own body for experiments is not Chen Mobai¡¯s style.


    So he went to the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect.


    With his status as a Foundation Establishment elder, he can take three Qi Cultivation Techniques every year for free.


    Last year, he took the Earth Mother Cultivation and two other techniques, whose names he had forgotten, for Zhuo Ming. This year, he had not yet used this privilege, so he could just exchange for a Qi Cultivation Manual of the Taoist body of longevity to take a look.


    After greeting Brother Hu, he found that the Taoist body of longevity does not have a Qi cultivation manual.


    It starts with Foundation Establishment as the prerequisite for cultivation.


    Having no choice, he gave an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and took a hardcover edition.


    Returning to Xiao Nanshan, he first patrolled the 60-acre rice field.


    Under Zhuo Ming¡¯s careful care and the aggregation of earth qi during the practicing of Earth Mother Cultivation, which condenses the Mother Qi of All Things, the Spirit Rice in these spirit fields was thriving, better than what Chen Mobai planted in Small Yang Ridge last year.


    However, this was not because Zhuo Ming¡¯s agricultural knowledge had surpassed him, but because the spirit fields in Small Yang Ridge were only Rank-1, while the 60 acres of spirit fields beneath Xiao Nanshan, after their tilling and fertilizing last year, had already reached Rank-2.


    The ten acres with the most vigorous spiritual energy were planted with Jade Bamboo, preparing for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s only Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    It looks like there will be a good harvest this year.


    Chen Mobai grabbed a handful of soil, put on his golden-rimmed glasses, and observed the wide range of spiritual energy. Looking at the initially barren spirit field that was now increasingly vibrant, even gathering the spiritual energy of Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai was very satisfied with Zhuo Ming¡¯s achievements.


    Going at this rate, perhaps after a few decades, Xiao Nanshan will be upgraded to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein again.


    Speaking of spirit veins, Chen Mobai thought of Yunyang Bing.


    Didn¡¯t this good brother of his have a special spirit gathering array that can enhance spirit veins? Putting one on the mountaintop, at least he could enjoy it first.


    Even if it doesn¡¯t rise to Rank-4, Rank-3 is still very good.


    Chen Mobai was still considering whether to set one up for his two disciples. But after thinking about it, Giant Tree Ridge was not a sect, and Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t lack spiritual energy.


    Moreover, if their realm was hastily elevated, their foundation would be unstable, and it would become a hidden danger when establishing their foundation in the future.


    After all, not everyone was like him, combining the cultivation techniques of the sect and the resources of Tianhe Realm, to forcefully establish their foundation successfully.


    Soon, Zhuo Ming also came by.


    She was followed by those two disciples from the Alchemy Department, who greeted Chen Mobai as soon as they came over.


    ¡°Master, how come you didn¡¯t call me when you came out?¡±


    ¡°In stillness lies motion, you don¡¯t need to worry about me. I¡¯m just taking a look around.¡±


    Chen Mobai scattered the soil in his hand, dusted his hands, turned around and went back to Xiao Nanshan.


    Zhuo Ming, who was about to report on the progress of spiritual wine development, saw her master flying into the sky. She could only shake her head helplessly, leading the two Alchemist Department disciples back to the wine-making workshop.


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming had built many wooden houses, not only for ordinary people who were tilling and sowing seeds, but also for storing Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine.


    At first Chen Mobai attempted to intervene, but seeing how efficient Zhuo Ming was, he completely hands-off this year.


    After reading about the Daoist Body of Longevity, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The juice of the Tree of Longevity could affect any part of the body.


    According to the exploration of the ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect, it is the best Body Forging Spirit item in the whole Eastern Wilderness. It not only has no side effects, but also can break away from the shackles of talent and continue to advance if there are enough amounts.


    There are only three realms in the Daoist Body of Longevity: Ageless, Deathless, and Eternal Life.


    The orthodox method of practicing this body training technique requires that all of the 206 bones in the human body should be fused with a drop of Tree of Longevity juice to form an indestructible skeleton. Then the power of the Tree of Longevity juice is permeated from inside to outside, soaking the five viscera and six bowels, muscles and skin, meridians and acu-points, etc.


    This means if you want to cultivate the Spirit Eye, you can start by fusing the bones around the eye socket with the Tree of Longevity juice.


    It is said that the Body Refining Technique is a Cultivation Technique that develops the original power of the human bloodline.


    Some cultivators, who are as normal as Spiritual Root, can awaken their innate Divine Skills by practicing the Body Refining Technique, and step into a broader and easier path.


    However, after reading it, Chen Mobai had no intention of cultivating the Daoist Body of Longevity.


    Because if this method does not have the Tree of Longevity juice, it is almost impossible to achieve it just by Refining Spirit Qi and absorbing Spirit Stone.


    The Divine Wood Sect here uses 206 drops of Tree of Longevity juice to fuse into the bone marrow, and then spread throughout the body through the bones. This is already the most economical method.


    Moreover, this is just the first realm of ¡°Ageless¡±.


    Chen Mobai took out a drop of Tree of Longevity juice and dropped it onto his left eye bone.


    In an instant, he felt a gentle and immense vitality melt into it.


    Operating the Flame Lighting Technique to refine vitality, he manually spread the power of the Tree of Longevity juice to the left eyeball, surrounding blood vessels, muscles, and eye socket skeletal system.


    Chen Mobai multitasked, also operating the method of the Void Spirit Eye, and began to rapidly absorb the vitality of the Tree of Longevity juice.


    After an unknown amount of time, he lifted his head.


    There appeared a halo of blue light around the pupil of his left eye, like a sun¡¯s halo, incredibly mysterious.


    Because the Void Spirit Eye is the most common Spirit Eye method in the immortal sect, there isn¡¯t even a specific realm division. It is only known that it can be improved continuously, so Chen Mobai does not know exactly what level this left eye is after absorbing part of Tree of Longevity juice.


    However, he had a way to verify it.


    After returning to the Treasure Trove, he came to the place where the sealed ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± that Mi Yudao brought him to before was placed.


    It was the branch of the underground dark flow, and this Device Nurturing Sphere was a square box according to them.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes glowed clear, with a mysterious deep green light gleaming in his left eye, as he focused his gaze on the white jade sphere at the bottom of the water.


    Suddenly, he saw a double vision in his eyes.


    In his right eye, he still couldn¡¯t see clearly and there was only the surface glow of white jade.


    But in the vision of his left eye, he had seen through the shell and Spiritual Liquid, and saw a blurred four-sided Magic Artifact occupying most of the space.


    It seems that while the left eye has absorbed some of the effect of Tree of Longevity juice and the Void Spirit Eye has been practiced to a higher level, it still couldn¡¯t completely see through the true face of this sealed Device Nurturing Sphere.


    His left eye¡¯s technique of Spirit Eye should now be almost the same as that of the vice-president of the student council.


    But to be precise, it¡¯s the same level when looking at the Device Nurturing Sphere that seales the Magic Artifact with a water attribute.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye can see all the attributes of the sealed Device Nurturing Sphere.


    To verify this idea, Chen Mobai went to the other three sealed Device Nurturing Sphere that Mi Yudao had taken him to see.

    However, he only saw through one that sealed a round Magic Artifact, while the other two sealed spheres could see through the shell, but not the specific shape.


    Maybe it¡¯s because they haven¡¯t been sealed for a long time, and the isolation effect of the Spiritual Liquid has not worn too much.


    It seems that more Tree of Longevity juice is needed to continue to enhance the Void Spirit Eye.


    After reading the information, Chen Mobai found that the eye socket had seven bones.


    If he has 6 more drops of Tree of Longevity juice, he should be able to enhance his left eye to the utmost, right?

 Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Tree of Life Juice_1

    Chapter 324: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Tree of Life Juice_1


    However, in the entire Divine Wood Sect, only Zhou Wangshen possessed the Tree Juice of Immortality.


    Although Chen Mobai only wanted six drops, turning up uninvited was likely to result in embarrassment.


    After all, the more Tree Juice of Immortality one has for cultivating the Immortal Taoist Body, the better. Zhou Wangshen, who wanted to use it all for himself, would probably find it insufficient.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai and Zhou Wangshen were not familiar with each other. They had only met once at Yue Zutao¡¯s place. If he really wanted to buy Tree Juice of Immortality, he might need a significant middleman to help him.


    After thinking it over, among the people he knew, it would be E Yun.


    Both of them were disciples aspiring to become the Sect Leader, so at least they had a higher status than himself.


    However, after thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to give up the idea.


    These two were clearly vying for the position of Sect Leader. If E Yun owed Zhou Wangshen a favor owing to his request, it would bring even more trouble in the future.


    Besides, if E Yun were unwilling, the good relationship that Chen Mobai currently shared with him might be ruined from then on.


    Chen Mobai could push himself, but he would not force others for his own sake.


    If he didn¡¯t consider the Tree Juice of Immortality that Zhou Wangshen possesses, then there was only one other method.


    Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Magic Treasure Tree in front of him, picked up his phone, and downloaded Water Moon Skill, a water attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, from the National Library of the Immortal Gate.


    After three days of hard practice, he upgraded the Water Moon Skill to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Then he injected this newly cultivated water attribute spiritual power into the Magic Treasure Tree.


    As the silver light twinkled, he vanished.


    A quarter of an hour later, holding a black fruit, he reappeared in front of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Inside the fruit, a drop of shiny, milky white Tree Juice of Immortality appeared on his palm.


    Sure enough, the method was feasible.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai clenched his fist in joy.


    He had received a drop of Tree Juice of Immortality in the Magic Treasure Tree after practicing the Blackwater Cultivation last time. This time, using the same method but with a different Qi Cultivation Technique, he managed to obtain the same result.


    Although there were still many fruits on the Magic Treasure Tree, Chen Mobai deduced that when met with the weak spiritual power of the third or fourth level of Qi Cultivation, the Magic Treasure Tree would only yield low-quality fruit.


    Clearly, within the Magic Treasure Tree, the value of Tree Juice of Immortality was comparable to such heavenly treasures as Green-sun Fire and Tree Fruit, but one would need as much as a gourd full to be efficacious.


    In the face of Chen Mobai, a disciple with weak Cultivation Level, the Magic Treasure Tree algorithmically gave out the least valuable thing in its treasure trove.


    Which was one drop of Tree Juice of Immortality.


    Unfortunately, having wasted three days time, he got one drop of Tree Juice of Immortality after one night practicing Blackwater Cultivation.


    But after figuring out this basic rule, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dwell on it.


    He took out his phone again, but he didn¡¯t waste points to download from the National Library this time. The downloads there were of complete first to ninth level Qi Cultivation Techniques, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need that many.


    He directly found a store on the Immortal Gate Internet that mainly sells Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques wholesale, and spent 50 Good Deed Points to buy a hundred books containing only the first three levels.


    A month later.


    Chen Mobai looked at the full vial of Tree Juice of Immortality and left the Divine Tree Secret Realm satisfied.


    Since he had found the method, the more, the better.


    He immediately opened thirty drops of Tree Juice of Immortality, preparing to refine all the twenty-three bones in his head.


    Time flies the fastest during cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s annual grand competition began as usual.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he had little interest in these competitions among Qi Cultivators.


    However, this year, his disciple might become a true successor. Moreover, he hadn¡¯t met with friends like Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo for a long time, so he also came to Divine Wood City to watch.


    ¡°Look quickly, your senior brother is on stage now.¡±


    In the same tavern, Chen Mobai sat by the window. Besides Qi Rui and his other friends, Zhuo Ming was also present.


    Since Zhuo Ming was always eliminated in the first round every year, he didn¡¯t sign up this year.


    Chen Mobai was indifferent to this. As long as he had Liu Wenbo to hold the fort, it was good enough, and it was perfectly fine for this small disciple to farm and brew wine.


    Having reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and fully equipped with Magic Artifacts, Liu Wenbo lived up to expectations and defeated his opponent, advancing to the round prior to becoming a true successor.


    ¡°Greetings sect uncle.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was planning to leave with his two disciples, he ran into two familiar faces at the stairway.


    It was Luo Yixiu and Luo Yixuan who had joined the Divine Wood Sect from Southstream Market with him.


    After leaving Bud Hall, the siblings became disciples of a Foundation Establishment elder from their own family in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Since this elder was the guard of the Lei Nation, the siblings had also left Giant Tree Ridge and had been practicing in Lei Nation ever since.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about them but didn¡¯t expect to run into them here today.

    ¡°It¡¯s rare for old friends to meet. Among us who joined at the same time, it¡¯s quite remarkable that we are all alive in this world.¡±


    Among those disciples who joined the Divine Wood Sect back then, the ones Chen Mobai remembered were his two disciples, the Luo siblings, and Yu Lian.


    ¡°We are not qualified to be the sect uncle¡¯s friends.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, who had blossomed beautifully, looked fresh and charming. She was dressed in an elegant palace-style long skirt, adding to her sophistication. She was as pleasant as ever, being humble in speech.


    On the other hand, Luo Yixiu, who was standing beside her, looked incredulous when he saw Chen Mobai, with a hint of defiance in his eyes.

 Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Elixir Tree Juice_2

    Chapter 325: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Elixir Tree Juice_2


    Luo Yixiu had always believed that if he hadn¡¯t followed his uncle to Lei Nation from among that group of people back then, he should have become a true disciple two years earlier.


    However, to his surprise, within a span of just five years, the Loose Cultivator whom he had dismissed as insignificant had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment.


    The severe hierarchical system of the Tianhe Realm and Luo Yixiu¡¯s own pride conflicted. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s teasing gaze and his sister¡¯s continual gestures, in the end, Luo Yixiu had no choice but to bow his head and call Chen Mobai uncle teacher.


    ¡°Are you participating in this year¡¯s sect competition?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. He had only been following the tournament events of his apprentice and a few friends, spending his usual time busy cultivating the Void Spirit Eye with Tree Juice.


    ¡°We are participating, and fortunately, we haven¡¯t been eliminated yet.¡±


    The answer was still from Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai nodded, feeling that it was almost time for his cultivation, so he did not continue catching up with them.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome to visit Xiao Nanshan whenever you have time. You both know Wen Bo and Zhuo Ming.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai let his two apprentices stay and chat with the brother-and-sister duo, and departed directly.


    Luo Yixiu stared at Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure, his face full of unwillingness.


    On the other hand, Luo Yixuan had a gentle conversation with Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, reminiscing about old times.


    In the next round of the competition concerning the true disciples, Chen Mobai made sure to watch the whole procedure.


    Unfortunately, Liu Wenbo met a powerful opponent and was eventually defeated.


    Chen Mobai had been mentally prepared for this eventuality. After comforting his senior apprentice, he turned his attention to the performances of Qi Rui and the others.


    This friend, who had failed to become a true disciple several times, finally had a stroke of luck this year. He did not encounter any formidable opponents and managed to secure a place among the twenty-four true disciples.


    Ironically, Qi Hou and Xi Jinghuo, the pair of senior and junior brothers, both met strong opponents. The former encountered Mu Yuan while the latter met Li Yixian from the Puppet Department, all of them unfortunately defeated.


    The remaining siblings from the Luo family ended their matches in defeat as well, a fact Chen Mobai noted when he cast his eyes their way.


    He looked at Luo Yixuan, who had fallen off the stage, and he pondered.


    This one could be worth investing in.


    ¡­


    Inside the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai opened his eyes. His eyes shone with a clear glint in the dark, exceptionally striking.


    Looking up, he saw the Device Nurturing Sphere buried in the Red Iron Mine above his head as if it were transparent, revealing everything inside it to him.


    He saw the broken Flying Sword inside, every pattern on its surface, and every nick on the blade appearing clearly in his vision.


    Chen Mobai also noticed two small characters engraved on the hilt of the sword.


    Red Copper!


    This must be the name of this Flying Sword.


    Searching online at school, he discovered that more than two hundred years ago, there had been a genius in The Sword Control Department whose Flying Sword bore this name.


    This genius had reached the 9th Realm of Foundation Establishment before he passed away. Unfortunately, his lifespan was not long, and he joined the war for a last-ditch attempt at survival.


    Unfortunately, all that was sent back to the Immortal Gate after he passed was this broken Flying Sword.


    If it was intact, this would be a Rank-2 top-grade Flying Sword, even mightier than the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt regret.


    He withdrew the Void Spirit Eye, and according to the description of this Cultivation Technique, he should have reached the intermediate accomplishment stage.


    This was even more profound than what Shi Qujin had reached after a lifetime of cultivation.


    Through this experience, Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the advantages he held became even clearer and more profound.


    Within just a half-year period, he had enhanced the Void Spirit Eye to a level beyond what Shi Qujin had achieved in decades of laborious cultivation, all with the help of the Tree Juice.


    He was reliant not on talent, understanding, dedication or hard work.


    It was resources!


    He must maintain this advantage, ensuring that he stays ahead by utilising the resources from the Tianhe Realm and Divine Wood, within the Immortal Gate.


    After firming up his resolve, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the eight Dead Seal Device Spheres Mi Yudao had found.


    The completed Void Spirit Eye allowed him to see the sealed Device Nurturing Spheres as clearly as the lines on his palm.


    Using the vast information in the Map of Treasures, he recognized the bell magic artifact as the Soul Capture; a rank-2, intermediate-grade weapon designed for mental attacks.


    Of course, the most valuable was the pagoda, surprisingly a Rank-2, high-grade defensive artifact. If he couldn¡¯t find a Rank-3 artifact, then Chen Mobai thought he could open this one with a device piece.


    There was no detailed information on the Jade Page Book in the Map of Treasures, but according to the student council¡¯s calculations, it should be a rare Formation Device.


    However, he had no idea which formation was sealed inside, so its grade and value could not be deduced.


    Even his Void Spirit Eye was helpless, the only way to confirm it was to cut it open.


    The Water Divider Fork, on the other hand, was a Rank-2 high-grade, but such a magic artifact required long-term training to use, which Chen Mobai naturally had no interest in.


    After examining the four seals, Chen Mobai viewed the four dead-sealed Device Nurturing Spheres.


    One in the underground undercurrent, he could now clearly make out its contours¡ªit was a box. He tried to peer further into it with his Void Spirit Eye but found it was still chaotic.


    As expected, it seemed a bit difficult to see through the dead seal completely.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t discouraged, after all, the potency of the Tree Juice he had fused into his skull, although it had fully integrated with his bone marrow, had not yet fully released to permeate both his Spirit Eyes. In time, his Void Spirit Eye would reach a higher level.


    Then he examined the other three.


    The round magic artifact seemed to be a ball. He searched the Map of Treasures and found six similar artifacts, but none were Rank-3, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power.


    The other two were a pot and a flute.


    Chen Mobai found that among Rank-3 magic artifacts, one was shaped like a pot, called the ¡°Saro Pot¡±. It absorbed the fiery energy from the depths of the Treasure Trove and when released, it could transform into a hundred-meter-long fire mist, powerful enough to melt gold and boil stones.


    There were also two flute-shaped Rank-3 artifacts, but Chen Mobai had no interest in the sound path, so he didn¡¯t bother comparing the information in the Map of Treasures.


    But that pot, he¡¯ll have to look at it again in the future when his Void Spirit Eye upgrades to the next level.


    If he could confirm that it¡¯s a Rank-3 Saro Pot, he would definitely choose it.


    After looking through eight Device Nurturing Spheres, Chen Mobai felt a novel sensation. He wanted to go and look at the dead-sealed spheres hanging around the student council¡¯s place, but the moment the thought arose, he felt a heavy sense of fatigue in his head.


    After the enhancement of the Void Spirit Eye, each activation required more Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. As he intensely observed the Device Nurturing Spheres, he was unconsciously drained of over half his Divine Sense.


    He laid down a formation on the spot and meditated to recover. Just as Chen Mobai was about to go to the student council¡¯s place in the Treasure Trove, his phone lit up with a message.


    It was from Che Yucheng.


    He said that arrangements for the Alliance Exchange Meeting at Crimson City Cave were done and asked him to come over to take care of the procedures.


    He almost completely forgot about it.


    Chen Mobai rode his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± out of the Treasure Trove and headed to Building No. 1.


    To his surprise, another familiar face was in Che Yucheng¡¯s office.


    ¡°Long time no see, Professor Bian.¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Bian Yiqing smiled and nodded, saying hello.


    He was a music professor, and since Chen Mobai didn¡¯t enroll in any elective courses in that field, it was the first time they had met in Daoist Academy after parting ways in Red Sandstone City five years ago.


    ¡°For Crimson City¡¯s 6000th anniversary, a VIP from Xianwu Hall will be attending. The City Lord of Crimson City invited Professor Bian to arrange for the program, so he took on the responsibility of leading our school as well, saving us the trouble of appointing two people,¡± Che Yucheng quickly explained. Naturally, Chen Mobai¡¯s name was also on the attendance list for the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s celebration.


    ¡°Thanks for your hard work, Professor.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai just stood on the spot.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Since he was the one who brought up the idea of participating, he could only face the music now.


    ¡°Although I¡¯m leading in name, the management of you students will be the responsibility of the student council, and they might contact you later.¡±


    Bian Yiqing mentioned, and Chen Mobai nodded.


    ¡°Alright, you can go now.¡±


    It seemed Che Yucheng still had things to talk about with Bian Yiqing, so he waved his hand to signal that Chen Mobai could leave.

 Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Chapter 267: Merging with God and Returning to One_1

    Chapter 326: Chapter 267: Merging with God and Returning to One_1


    During the following days, Chen Mobai was waiting for the student council¡¯s contact while continuing to swipe on the Magic Treasure Tree.


    After he got the Longevity Tree Juice from the water attribute cultivation technique, he attempted to see what low guarantee fruits the other four types of spiritual power could produce.


    After constant attempts, gold attribute spiritual power could produce a grain of metal, wood attribute a dried leaf, earth attribute a clump of earth, and fire attribute a spark.


    Among these, the metal was identified to be pure iron.


    Being a Rank-2 material, it is a basic requirement in most magic artifact crafting.


    If refined using alchemical fire, it could even reach Rank-3 quality, and when mixed into a flying sword, it would not only increase its power but also upgrade its rank.


    Unfortunately, the fruit that Chen Mobai grew yielded only grains the size of rice. If he wanted to gather a sufficient quantity of pure iron, he didn¡¯t know how much gold attribute cultivation technique he would need to practice.


    The dried leaf turned out to be a normal Qingyang Spirit Tree leaf, which can be used to make Rank-2 talisman paper.


    The clump of earth was rather peculiar, containing a strong vitality, even surpassing the most vigorous Rank-2 fertile land in Xiao Nanshan, he guessed it could be the spirit soil of a Rank-3 or higher spirit field.


    Regrettably, when spread out it was only a thin layer in his palm, not even enough to plant a flower. Chen Mobai dumped this clump into the pot of his green paulownia seedling that he had been nurturing for several years, and didn¡¯t bother with it anymore.


    Finally, there was the spark which he felt was the most useful.


    At the moment the fruit was produced, this spark flickered, nearly extinguishing.


    Chen Mobai immediately swallowed and absorbed this spark with his own Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Because it was the same source of fire, it easily merged as one.


    This spark was also Qingyang Fire.


    However, compared to his fist-sized fire seed, this spark was merely like a burning matchstick, insignificant.


    But no matter how little, it was still Qingyang Fire.


    After he absorbed it using the Pure Qing Talisman, he felt his Qingyang Fire Seed improved slightly.


    Chen Mobai roughly estimated that if he could absorb another hundred Qingyang Fire sparks, then his fire seed should be able to fully upgrade to ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    You must know, he had refined the Qingyang Fire Seed in the Treasure Trove using the Pure Qing Talisman to absorb the fire spirit energy of Crimson Mountain, it was about equivalent to refining five Qingyang Fire sparks in a year.


    One Qingyang Fire spark could save him more than two months of hard work.


    Looking at the towering Magic Treasure Tree in front of him, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes inexplicably shone.


    This was truly a treasure tree.


    Compared to the Talent Tree which only provides cultivation techniques, the Magic Treasure Tree was a massive treasure trove waiting for him to exploit.


    Regrettably, it was too miserly, only giving one thing at a time.


    With a complaint in his heart, Chen Mobai once again practiced the spell from the Scripture of Longevity, then returned to the Treasure Trove.


    Today was the official end of the term.


    Chen Mobai successfully passed all the course exams with high scores, earned all the credits, plus the ones he scrounged from the Sword Control Department, a total of 48 credits.


    He didn¡¯t have the habit of hoarding. After exchanging for two Vermillion Fruits that he had set his eyes on, he used the remaining 8 credits, plus the 2 leftover credits from previous years, a total of 10 credits to exchange for a Rank-2 ¡°God Returning Pill¡±.


    This was Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Alchemy Department¡¯s creation, specifically used for healing damage to divine sense.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense was naturally not injured, but he had cultivated the Divine Manipulation Technique, and after a year of continuous use of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, the separate Qingyang seedling that he previously split from his divine sense forming had finally borne fruit.


    This indicated that the second layer ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± of Divine Manipulation Technique had been mastered, and he could now attempt the third layer ¡°Unifying Spirit into One¡±.


    Honestly, he had initially estimated that even with Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it would take two years to reach this step.


    But after blending the Longevity Tree Juice into his 23 skull pieces, he discovered that the efficiency of his divine sense cultivation had greatly increased.


    Even under the bolstering effect of the Lamp Technique, the combination of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and Longevity Tree Juice produced a magical effect that was greater than the sum of its parts.


    Not only did his Void Spirit Eye improve tremendously, but his divine sense intensity also reached the level suitable for ¡°Unifying Spirit into One¡± within a year.


    He searched the auxiliary cultivation software for the advancement experience of this cultivation technique, among many elixirs recommended by people, ¡°God Returning Pill¡± ranked third. Since the Dance Tool Dao Academy had it in stock, Chen Mobai directly exchanged it with his credits.


    The best two elixirs were ¡°Five Mushrooms Hundred Flower Cream¡± and ¡°Heavenly Fragrant Eight Treasure Pill¡± respectively, both of Rank-3 level.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among them, ¡°Five Mushrooms Hundred Flower Cream¡± was the signature product of Jumang Daoist Academy and the Imperial Medical Academy. It required five kinds of hundred-year-old spirit mushrooms, plus a hundred different kinds of spirit flower essences. Not only for divine sense, it could even instantly restore any injury to vitality and life force.


    And ¡°Heavenly Fragrant Eight Treasure Pill¡± was a spirit pill specifically for healing divine sense injuries. For any divine sense-related problems below the Core Formation, consuming it would cure the illness and restore peak condition immediately.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had made some six years ago under the guidance of the head of the Alchemy Department, there were still three in stock now. But when Chen Mobai saw the number of credits needed to exchange, he immediately gave up.


    This thing actually needed 120 credits per pill.


    After finishing the exchange for his credits this year, Chen Mobai promptly handed the two Vermillion Fruits to Wang Xingyu along with the auxiliary ingredients and two additional Bamboo Fruits. Wang Xingyu guaranteed that he could definitely make Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew without Danless Poison this time.

    Chapter 327: Chapter 267: Unity of Spirit_2


    Chen Mobai could only laugh at this. The slight poisoning posed no threat to him, given the aid of the Flame Lighting Technique, it was as if it was nonexistent.


    This year, he naturally didn¡¯t return to Red Sandstone City. After making calls to his parents, grandparents, and other relatives, Chen Mobai set up a ban in a place in the Treasure Trove, then teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    In this world where he was the only one, Chen Mobai sat under the towering Magic Treasure Tree and took the ¡°God Returning Pill¡±.


    Three days later, he opened his eyes, a hint of regret flashing in them.


    The ¡°God Returning Pill¡± indeed had a good effect, but it was a pity that it was not potent enough to completely fuse his two divided divine senses together.


    If he had one more pill, he would surely succeed.


    But even so, he had already fused a large part.


    After using the power of the God Returning Pill to begin, the rest was down to painstaking work.


    The difficulties in performing the Divine Manipulation Technique were a bit beyond his expectations, but the effects were amazingly surprising.


    His Divine Sense has grown by 1.6 times. Using the ¡°Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method¡± he gained from the Talent Tree, he could cover a radius of twenty meters from the previous twelve meters after his Divine Sense went out of his body.


    If he could completely fuse it, he felt he should be able to reach thirty meters.


    Chen Mobai began to look forward to that day.


    Because after he completed the first fusion of his divine senses, he could start practicing ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    This move was a killer against those whose realm was inferior to his own.


    It was after his return from the Treasure Trove, after a habitual glance at his mobile phone, that a flash of joy suddenly appeared on his face.


    Ming Yuhua has succeeded in his Foundation Establishment.


    His good brother had spent nearly the entire year in seclusion. Under various favourable conditions, he finally emerged victoriously at the end of the year.


    Being the second person in the Metaphysical Class to successfully establish a foundation, he was even more excited than Chen Mobai. When treated to drinks, he was generous and high-spirited, full of inspiration, almost to the point of announcing it across all the teaching buildings of the Daoist Academy.


    This year four more persons achieved insight into boundary magic spells in the Metaphysical Class: Gong Ranran, Li Zimo, Fan Yuanpu, Jin Shuwei.


    Daring to practice the Divine Transformation Technique, except for Chen Mobai who had loopholes, the rest were exceptionally talented and had extraordinary confidence in themselves. Being able to comprehend boundary magic spells in the fifth grade was above average within the Daoist Academy.


    They pledged on-the-spot to practice in seclusion upon returning and said they would not drink next year¡¯s New Year¡¯s wine if they had not established their foundations.


    Last year¡¯s other successful practiser of the boundary magic spell, Lan Yufan, sat in the corner, quietly drinking without a word. If not for Ming Yuhua¡¯s success, he could still be calm, but now he was a bit anxious.


    He glanced at his girlfriend, Lu Zixuan, and felt that dating might have affected his cultivation progress.


    At this point, the exultant Ming Yuhua floated off the ground and began to fly slowly, displaying the unique flying technique of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    In the end, his classmates couldn¡¯t take it anymore, they pulled him down and took turns toasting him, directly to the point of making him drunk.


    This semester, other than Ming Yuhua, one more student from the class of 5012 also successfully established their foundation.


    However, that person was not part of the Metaphysical Class group.


    That one is Zha Jianbai from the Sword Control Department, a true Sword Cultivation Genius, who is extremely dedicated to cultivation.


    After serving as a teaching assistant for a year, his foundation was perfection. With a sword in his arms for seven days in the school field, the moment he opened his eyes, his pupils were like meteors, indicating his successful Foundation Establishment.


    Following the end of the year small gathering of the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai returned to his own cabin outside the school, rarely allowing himself a day of relaxation.


    That night, while reading a book on the Underworld Array, a clear voice as refreshing as spring water suddenly resonated from above, sweet as honey, delicate and sublime.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes, indulging in the enchanting melody.


    To think that since joining the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he and Meng Huang have been neighbors for five years, yet it was the first time he had indulged in the celestial-like clear voice of this superstar.


    He had to admit, the voice of a music prodigy who was recognized and trained by the immortal world to master the Shocking God Sonata was truly enthralling and extremely comforting.


    After a long while, the clear notes dissipated from his ears, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented lightness and contentment in his Divine Sense.


    His face was filled with joy.


    In the interlude of this musical aria, the third layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Blending Divine into One¡±, had actually made some progress.


    If he could listen to it a few more times, he might reach Perfection directly.


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai was reminded of the dream he had when he first saw the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe¡¯s performance.


    [Listen to Meng Huang sing for him every day.]


    Five years ago, when he rented this wooden house, besides the fact that it was secluded, part of it was this desire.


    Unfortunately, in these five years, he had been busy cultivating during the Qi Cultivation phase, busy gathering Foundation Building Pills. After the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was busy gathering resources to cultivate various spells. Only today, he had barely made a start on this dream.


    Chen Mobai took out his cell phone. He had run into Meng Huang once after his Foundation Establishment, and she had taken the initiative to add him as a friend.


    [Meng, elder sister, your ¡®Linjiang Immortal¡¯ sounds really good.]


    He tentatively sent a compliment in a message.


    However, after two minutes, there was no response.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking that this star might not have seen it, the sound of an incoming message rang out.


    [Thank you. Are you at the bottom of the mountain?]


    [Yes, I am. Today, my good friend successfully established his foundation. We had a drink to celebrate, so I did not plan to return to the Treasure Trove for cultivation. I am staying here for the night.]


    When chatting with women, Chen Mobai had an instinctive talent. Soon, the two of them started chatting back and forth for half an hour.


    Meng Huang expressed her envy towards their younger schoolmates who have successively built their foundations. As a seventh-year senior, she has not yet grasped the Threshold Technique, hesitant to take that step forward.


    Chen Mobai immediately comforted her that it was only a matter of time given her talent.


    Then, he wanted to share his own experience and tips for understanding the Threshold Technique. But he realized that he had no insights since he had understood it while under the influence of a potion.


    Well then, switch topics.


    Chen Mobai talked about recently running into Meng Huang¡¯s teacher, Bian Yiqing, in Che Yucheng¡¯s office. The teacher is responsible for leading this year¡¯s students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy to participate in the University Alliance Exchange in Crimson City. He was fortunate to be part of the team.


    [I will be performing on stage during the Millennial Celebration and also on the Dao Academy¡¯s list, so we are teammates, I guess.]


    The topic switch was very successful, Meng Huang immediately started talking about her hardships in daily rehearsals and tours.


    When she first enrolled, she was not proficient in Qi Cultivation, so she was distracted. She had to balance her classwork, cultivation, and touring all over the country to open her spirit. She failed two elective courses and was laughed at by her peers for a long time.


    Once the topic was opened, Meng Huang became an automatic chatterbox, no longer sending text messages, but directly sending big chunks of voice messages.


    Chen Mobai clicked it open and listened to her clear, unique voice. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.


    Early the next morning, he was planning to visit his neighbor on the mountain after five years, to ask about Meng Huang¡¯s singing and vocal practice habits, preparing to camp regularly in the future.


    However, before he had left his door, a red spiritual light descended from the sky.


    This small wooden house had never been visited by a Cultivator who had accomplished Foundation Establishment before. Early in the morning, Chen Mobai almost thought he was back in Xiao Nanshan.

    Upon closer look, he realized it was Ming Yuhua.


    After the effects of the alcohol wore off, he directly came over, saying he wanted to go to the Treasure Trove.


    Unlike Chen Mobai, who had accumulated over 100 credits in the Dao Academy over the past five years and met the conditions.


    However, since his mentor, Qin Beichen, was currently in seclusion, Ming Yuhua had no choice but to come to Chen Mobai, a ¡°Senior Brother¡± who had been stationed in Treasure Trove for a year.


    Since his good friend rarely needed him, Chen Mobai had to give up visiting his neighbor with a heavy heart and took him to get familiar with the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_1

    Chapter 328: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_1


    It¡¯s indeed a coincidence that Ming Yuhua¡¯s Foundation Establishment took place at a perfect time.


    It happened exactly at the end of a semester, senior students at the Treasure Trove who had worked hard for a year on their Foundation Establishment would typically open their ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± at this time every year.


    However, Ming Yuhua¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t great.


    Because Master Shaoyang was in seclusion, no one took him to the deeper part of the Treasure Trove to get the highest authority device piece meant for new Foundation Establishers from Duanmu Longrong.


    But as an Artifact Refiner, Ming Yuhua was extremely attracted to the Device Nurturing Sphere after hearing about it from Chen Mobai.


    Although he was quite disappointed he didn¡¯t have the device piece, just being able to come and have a look was already very fortunate for him.


    ¡°You¡¯re too slow.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been waiting at the entrance of the tunnel, complained as he watched Ming Yuhua leisurely descend from the sky.


    He could have descended using Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± but Ming Yuhua, who had just established his foundation and had not had enough fun flying, insisted on flying himself, wasting quite a lot of time.


    Ming Yuhua, who underestimated the height of the Treasure Trove, arrived there with a rather pale face.


    ¡°How was I supposed to know flying consumes so much spiritual power?¡±


    After landing in the tunnel, Ming Yuhua sat down, caught his breath and immediately began condensing the dense fire spiritual power around him.


    All Chen Mobai could do was wait with a helpless expression, but it also provided a good opportunity for him to observe the circumstances of Foundation Establishment through the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Although he couldn¡¯t directly observe it with the Void Spirit Eye, he gained a lot by watching the spiritual energy around him rush into Ming Yuhua¡¯s seven orifices.


    Actually, Chen Mobai had long accumulated enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power. If he chose to directly establish his foundation, he was 99 percent sure he could succeed.


    However, waiting for the perfect opportunity to establish his foundation after hearing the Dao, he held himself back.


    This time, observing the operation of Ming Yuhua¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll during his Foundation Establishment, comparing with his own comprehension, he seemed to have a hint of an idea.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Half an hour later, Ming Yuhua, who had recovered most of his spiritual power, was full of energy and stood up.


    Chen Mobai led him through the tunnel, bypassed the underground undercurrents, and quickly reached the underground cavern plaza where the student union was located.


    Compared to usual, today there were about 60 to 70 people, all of them true cultivators who had established their foundation.


    Quite a few people had set up stalls and were presenting their Device Nurturing Spheres with dead seals.


    Chen Mobai spotted someone familiar, it was Qu Hongyu, a senior who had been in charge of reception when he first enrolled.


    If he remembered correctly, she should have graduated, right?


    ¡°Senior Sister, what a coincidence.¡±


    Of course, he had to greet her after encountering her. Qu Hongyu also recognized Chen Mobai and responded with hearty cheerfulness.


    ¡°It¡¯s you, I really didn¡¯t expect the first one to establish foundation from your grade would be you.¡±


    ¡°Senior sister is mistaken, Zhongli Tianyu is the first one.¡±


    Chen Mobai was still rather modest. Compared to Zhongli Tianyu, who broke through as if drinking water after enrollment, he was merely an ordinary person.


    ¡°You¡¯re as modest as ever. By the way, both of you are new Foundation Establishers. You should have the device piece, right? I know of two active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres. Interested?¡±


    Qu Hongyu established her foundation in her junior year and applied for a delay in graduation after succeeding. Now, she was an assistant teacher for the spirit flower cultivation course under the Spiritual Plant Department.


    For real cultivators who established their foundation, aside from teaching, they had loads of time. And since the Spiritual Energy in the Treasure Trove was dense, most of their cultivation time was spent here.


    Upon finding two active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres, Qu Hongyu didn¡¯t have enough school credits, so she came over to see if anyone needed it.


    She wasn¡¯t there to trade Device Nurturing Spheres.


    After all, the device piece was the most important thing. So here in the Treasure Trove, if you accept other people¡¯s information and extract something good, you need to transfer a sum of Good Deed Points as information fee afterwards.


    If the item extracted is ordinary, or of the lowest, lower-grade Rank-2, or a fragment then, they¡¯d just have to accept the bad luck.


    Generally speaking, if you extract a mid-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact, you have to transfer a symbolic 10,000 Good Deed Points as information fee.


    Extracting a high-grade Rank-2 undamaged Magic Artifact, the information fee is 100,000 Good Deed Points.


    And if a Rank-3 Magic Artifact is extracted, this information fee can be as high as millions.


    However, it has been nearly twenty years since a Rank-3 Magic Artifact was extracted in the Treasure Trove.


    Active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres can¡¯t be moved, so the person providing the information needs to take you there. Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were both interested, but they haven¡¯t finished browsing the stalls in the plaza. So they agreed to go have a look when they had time in the next few days.


    ¡°The student council seems to be opening a dead sealed Device Nurturing Sphere at noon. Don¡¯t miss it.¡±


    After Qu Hongyu added the contact information of the two junior students who had established their foundation, she shared a piece of news.


    Chen Mobai took Ming Yuhua around the dead seal Device Nurturing Spheres at the stalls again. This thing was much simpler compared to the active seals.


    If you like what you see and the two sides can agree on terms, it can be directly transferred, and no information fee needs to be transferred afterwards no matter what is extracted.


    Although Device Nurturing Spheres were technically property of the Dance Tool Dao Academy before they were opened, students painstakingly digging them out from various parts of the Treasure Trove, charging a hard-work fee has become the default.

    Chen Mobai stopped at another familiar stall.


    ¡°Huh? Is he also a junior?¡±


    Mi Yudao looked at Ming Yuhua, asking curiously.


    ¡°Correct, my good brother here happens to be the leading figure of our year¡¯s Refining Implement Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, introducing Ming Yuhua. The latter, when in front of strangers, was not unassuming and introduced himself modestly.

 Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_2

    Chapter 329: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_2


    ¡°Interested? I¡¯ve got four Dead Seal Device Nurturing Spheres here.¡±


    Mi Yudao pointed to the spheres on his stall, signalling Ming Yuhua to reach out and have a feel of them.


    As for Chen Mobai, he had already seen everything. However, as Ming Yuhua curiously picked up one of the Device Nurturing Spheres, Mi Yudao claimed that he had found another functioning Sphere sealed under a Fire Spirit Tree in the last six months.


    ¡°Oh? There are spirit plants in this Treasure Trove?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai became quite curious.


    His current major cultivation technique, the Wood Technique for eternal life, would greatly benefit from a wood attribute magic artefact of Rank-3.


    ¡°The Treasure Trove is the most powerful fire spirit vein of the Immortal Realm. Apart from the Vermillion Fruit Tree, only this Fire Spirit Tree can survive here. However, this tree bears no fruit and is only able to detoxify fire poison. Based on its location under the root system of the tree, I suspect the magic artefact is not of the wood attribute, but of the fire attribute.¡±


    Mi Yudao, drawing on his experience, made a guess that diverged from Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Sounds reasonable.¡±


    Ming Yuhua, standing by, gave his verdict, agreeing with Mi Yudao.


    He was a Rank-2 artifact refiner and treasure appraiser. If it weren¡¯t for his focus on Foundation Establishment this year, he¡¯d be preparing for his Rank-3 examination.


    Chen Mobai trusted in his good friend¡¯s professional competence.


    With the possibility of a fire attribute, Chen Mobai¡¯s interest was well and truly piqued.


    ¡°Did you get anyone to look at it?¡±


    ¡°With you here, why would I need to find anyone else?¡±


    Mi Yudao shook his head¡ªhaving Chen Mobai look at things with his Spirit Eye saved him a credit.


    ¡°After today¡¯s dead-sealed sphere is opened, let¡¯s go and have a look.¡±


    Once they made their agreement, Chen Mobai, accompanied by Ming Yuhua, began browsing through other dead-sealed spheres at other stalls.


    The prices varied wildly, from low to high, a complete mess.


    These were all cultivated by students after all, and the student council seemed too lazy to manage such things. Thus, the highest asking price was an outrageous 800,000 Good Deed Points, whilst the lowest was merely 10,000.


    Chen Mobai picked up the sphere with the highest asking price of 800,000 while wearing his glasses that blocked the Spiritual Light emitted by his Void Spirit Eye.


    Compared to the rest, this sphere was peculiar. It seemed that due to the large volume of the sealed magic artefact inside, one could vaguely make out its general shape through the surface of the white jade shell.


    ¡°Looks like a furnace.¡±


    Ming Yuhua examined it for a while before hesitantly making a comment.


    Chen Mobai nodded. Through his Void Spirit Eye, he easily saw through the dead-sealed sphere to the artefact within¡ªa tripod-shaped magic furnace.


    ¡°A furnace¡± has always been one of the most popular shapes for magic artefacts.


    It can be used for alchemy, artifact refining, defense, and attack. Occasionally it can also act as the Array Eye when laying out arrays. It¡¯s considered an all-purpose magic artifact shape.


    Ming Yuhua owns a lower-grade furnace-shaped Rank-2 artifact, his work when he passed the Rank-2 artifact refiner examination.


    ¡°I want 800,000 Good Deed Points for this dead-sealed sphere. It could possibly yield a Rank-3 Flame Dragon Cauldron, hence the hefty price tag.¡±


    The one who spoke was a slightly yellow-skinned youth who had unshakeable confidence in his sphere.


    ¡°That¡¯s too expensive. There are dozens of furnaces in the Treasure Trove. The sealing force of this particular dead-sealed sphere might have weakened over time, and the nurturing spiritual liquid within it started to lose its effect, hence the exposure of the artefact¡¯s power.¡±


    Chen Mobai began to haggle immediately, having gained expertise from previous Fang Market dealings. His swift repartee left Ming Yuhua astounded.


    ¡°Humph, the price is set at 800,000. If you¡¯re not buying then others will. At least I can guarantee that a furnace can be opened from my dead-sealed sphere.¡±


    The yellow-skinned youth was hot-tempered. Two other true cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage were also interested in the most expensive dead-sealed sphere in the plaza, and looked impatient to negotiate.


    ¡°Why not just say it¡¯s a Rank-4 True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. The moment he touched the sphere, he felt a unique warmth different from other device nurturing spheres¡ªa warmth that exuded from the magical device that even the seal couldn¡¯t contain.


    ¡°Senior, I just established my foundation this year, and I¡¯m about to open a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. This one you have is not bad, why not give it to me?¡±


    Ming Yuhua playfully made a statement that almost made the pale-looking young man turn red.


    Compared to other people who use 100 credits to exchange for device pieces, the newcomers who have established their foundation, like Duanmu Longrong who initiated the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, have the highest authority in the Treasure Trove and can open any Sphere in there.


    So basically, unless the fair-skinned young man also takes out a device piece and decides to open this special ¡®Dead Seal Device¡¯ sphere himself, the newcomer at the foundation establishment stage can directly acquire the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯.


    After all, all the ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ in the entire Treasure Trove belong to the Daoist Academy.


    Originally, selling ¡®Dead Seal Devices¡¯ spheres in this place was just because the academy couldn¡¯t be bothered.


    Ming Yuhua learned about this during his conversation with Mi Yudao earlier. So, upon seeing the fair-skinned young man charging such a high price and maintaining a bad attitude, he deliberately made such a remark.


    ¡°Kind brothers, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to make a bit of Good Deed Points, please, could you both let me be?¡±


    Only at this moment did the fair-skinned young man realize that Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were very unfamiliar, and they were seeing each other for the first time here. He was pretty sure they were indeed newcomers at the foundation establishment stage and immediately started pleading pitifully with a wry smile.


    ¡°With a price of one million Good Deed Points, I feel like you might want to keep it and open it yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua could have used the academy¡¯s rules to forcibly open the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, but doing so might result in being boycotted by many established students. Hence, they were only safe to make such a statement, with no action behind their words.


    They put down the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ that had sealed the furnace-shaped magic artifact and started browsing other stalls.


    ¡°I feel that the ¡®ding¡¯ could be a good thing.¡±


    After they had walked a distance, Ming Yuhua confided to Chen Mobai, who was slightly surprised, thinking that the former had spotted something he wasn¡¯t aware of.


    ¡°I established my foundation with the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯. The moment I touched it, I felt warmth in my arm, and my Pure Yang Spiritual Power even became slightly more active. It might be a fire attribute magic artifact that¡¯s very suitable for our lineage.¡±


    ¡°Do you plan on opening it?¡±


    ¡°I intend to, but isn¡¯t Senior Shao Yang in seclusion now? I haven¡¯t got my device piece yet.¡±


    After Ming Yuhua finished speaking, Chen Mobai remained silent for a while, then led him straight to the three-story building of the Student Council.


    The person standing guard there wasn¡¯t the familiar Lu Tiansuan, but another fair-skinned boy with squinted eyes and a smiling face.


    Chen Mobai had brought Ming Yuhua here, naturally intending to use the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯


    ¡°I can see with the ¡®Void Spirit Eye¡¯ that the ding looks like this. If you want to open it, it¡¯s best to first search it in the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯.¡±


    Since Ming Yuhua had such an idea, Chen Mobai would surely assist with all his might.


    The search fee of two credits was definitely something Ming Yuhua could afford. They watched as the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯ searched out for all the ¡®ding¡¯ shaped magic artifacts, and deciphered them one by one. Chen Mobai finally settled upon a Rank-2, high-grade magic artifact, the ¡®Mysterious Yang Cauldron¡¯.


    Upon searching, they discovered that the previous owner of this artifact was also a cultivator of the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯, and even a master who had cultivated to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    Unfortunately, they ultimately stagnated at the ¡®Pure Yang Daoist Body¡¯, and failed to reach the Core Formation stage, even until the end of their lifespan.


    No wonder Ming Yuhua¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power reacted when he touched it.


    After understanding this, both of them seemed relieved.


    The Rank-2 high-grade artifact was very good. In recent years, when no Rank-3 artifact had been opened, Ming Yuhua would, for sure, be willing to open it with his own device piece.


    However, he is somewhat unwilling to spend an additional million Good Deed Points.


    Although he could use the rules of the academy to forcibly open it, he preferred to negotiate if it was possible.

    When they were about to leave, the squint-eyed boy from the Student Council stopped them.


    ¡°Are you two the newcomers at the Foundation Establishment level this year?¡±


    ¡°Yes, we are.¡±


    ¡°I like the ¡®Mysterious Yang Cauldron¡¯. What about letting me have it?¡±


    Hearing his words, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua both frowned.

 Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_1

    Chapter 330: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_1


    ¡°Senior Brother, taking things that others enjoy is not a gentleman¡¯s behavior.¡±


    Chen Mobai has experienced a lot and has a knack for polite speech. Ming Yuhua, who had intended to retort, chose to keep her mouth shut when he spoke.


    ¡°Two younger brothers, I am about to participate in the millennium celebration of the Crimson Mountain Sanctuary. At that time, I will compete with the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other Dao Academy schools. If I have this Mysterious Yang Cauldron, I can bring glory to our Dance Tool Dao Academy. If you could give it to me, it would be a contribution to our academy.¡±


    At these words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give a cold laugh.


    ¡°Senior Brother, it is always better to have some shame.¡±


    Ming Yuhua began speaking sarcastically, causing the young man with squinted eyes to flash a momentary look of embarrassment and annoyance.


    Chen Mobai chose to ignore him further and directly left the student council.


    ¡°That is a pity, my device piece hadn¡¯t yet come into my possession, maybe in an instant, this Mysterious Yang Cauldron will be confiscated by this guy.¡±


    Once they had left the Western-style building, a hopeless Ming Yuhua sighed sorrowfully.


    ¡°You can also fork out 800,000 Good Deed Points first, which could land you that Dead Seal Device Nurturing Sphere.¡±


    ¡°Forget it, if I win, it¡¯s my fate, if I lose, it¡¯s my fortune. Without the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, I might find a better Magic Artifact, let¡¯s just leave it at that.¡±


    Neither was Ming Yuhua willing to part with that many Good Deed Points, nor was he willing to owe a favor to folks of the student council, it was just in his nature.


    Chen Mobai too was aware, so the two walked around the stalls in the square once again.


    Through the cover of his black-rimmed glasses, he utilized the Void Spirit Eye and thoroughly scrutinized all the Dead Seal Device Nurturing Spheres, memorizing all discernable outlines and details in his mind.


    Planning to cross-check the information in the Map of Treasures at a chance later in the night, to see if he could snatch up a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Time quickly approached noon, and the two met up with Mi Yudao at a chosen location to sit down and take a break.


    ¡°The person you guys encountered should be Yuan Jinjun, among the student council he¡¯s the most unprincipled, though his talent for cultivation is astonishing, he is one of the few top hand Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Exactly what level is this expert at?¡±


    As for the worthiness of the expert powerhouse here at the fairy gate, Chen Mobai expressed much skepticism.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage, anyone who can cultivate to this stage before graduation is among the top of the top.¡±


    Despite his disdain for Yuan Jinjun, the respect in Mi Yudao¡¯s voice for his cultivation level was quite significant.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage? Who within the Daoist Academy students holds the highest realm?¡±


    Upon listening, Chen Mobai eased up, kept silent; however, Ming Yuhua, was interested and began to inquire.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t count those who have applied for an extension for graduation, the highest cultivation level is naturally the student council president Zuo Qiushi, who is at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage.¡±


    At this point, there was a look of admiration on Mi Yudao¡¯s face.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage? What grade is he? If he hasn¡¯t graduated yet, then he isn¡¯t even 30 years old yet?¡±


    In the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the usual age for a freshman starting school is around 20 years old.


    A decade of university, and being able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage before graduation, the talent that this mirrors is terrifyingly fabulous.


    ¡°President Zuo Qiu happens to be a tenth grader, and he was already at Foundation Establishment Second Stage when he started school.¡±


    In other words, in ten years at the Daoist Academy, he broke through five stages, averaging one minor realm every two years.


    Just that, not as good as Zhongli Tianyu.¡±


    Such thoughts ran in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, while Ming Yuhua listened in awe.


    ¡°So, the president also practices the divine method of Divinity Transformation?¡±


    ¡°Of course, if it wasn¡¯t for Cultivating Participating Together along with the objects to be used that were prepared in advanced, who could cultivate so quickly?¡±


    Mi Yudao nodded, though still, Zuo Qiushi managing to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage before graduation has been the most remarkable talent in the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the past 30 years.


    ¡°What is Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s current realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked. For this elusive legendary figure from the 5012 batch, he always had an inexplicable expectancy. This person had only shown himself once at enrollment and then, he was heard of, but not seen.


    The only news he received was the shocking message that he was breaking a realm every year.


    ¡°From the last time he demonstrated his technique ¡®Transform soil into firmness,¡¯ one could ascertain he should be at Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage.¡±


    Even Mi Yudao didn¡¯t dare to confirm and was very cautious with his words.


    The reason why the 5012 batch is greatly valued by most of the seniors and senoritas in Dance Tool Dao Academy is that they have Zhongli Tianyu, a genius who exceeds all norms, amongst them.


    He is the next Zuo Qiushi.


    ¡°Are there only ones at Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage in the Academy?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question, after two battles, he now understood that only an existence in the latter stages of the Foundation Establishment could pose a threat to him.


    ¡°There are two more. They are senior brothers and sisters who have extended their graduation. However, they have not shown their faces for several years.¡±

    Although Mi Yudao¡¯s cultivation level wasn¡¯t advanced, his understanding regarding the setup of true Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Daoist Academy was on his fingertips. This allowed Chen Mobai to get a rough idea of the current composition of personnel in the Crimson Mountain after the Q&A session.


    Totaling all ten grades of students, and the repeating students who applied to extend graduation, there were about six to seven hundred people.


    Among them, half were at the Foundation Establishment stage and the rest at Qi Cultivation stage.


    ¡°Our Dance Tool Dao Academy, the average time to reach Foundation Establishment stage is midway through the seventh year, and I just happen to be average.¡±


    ¡°Both of you, one made Foundation Establishment in the fourth year, the other in the fifth year. You have far exceeded the average line. Even in the Treasure Trove, you are considered geniuses. As for those who were already establishing their foundation when they started school like Zuo Qiu and Zhongli Tianyu, we usually call them ¡®monsters¡¯.¡±

 Chapter 331 - Chapter 331: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_2

    Chapter 331: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_2


    ¡°Most of the senior brothers and sisters who have deferred their graduation have become teaching assistants. There¡¯s also a small group who secluded themselves here in the Treasure Trove, waiting to reach Perfection in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and then use the accumulated credits to exchange for a ¡®Fire Gold Core Pill¡¯ from the Daoist Academy, so they rarely come out on normal days,¡±


    After Mi Yudao finished speaking, he was filled with emotion. This would be his future life.


    Although he has already successfully established his foundation, and could even be considered a local hero if he returned to his hometown, if he wanted to form his core, his best chance would be at the academy.


    The ¡°Fire Gold Core Pill¡± is a unique Rank-4 pill coined by the Alchemy Department on the Dance Tool Dao Academy side, which can increase the success rate of a cultivator who practices fire attribute cultivation techniques by 10% when forming his core.


    For Foundation Establishment Practitioners with other attributes, the effect of this pill would be discounted by half.


    Although Mi Yudao was not of the fire attribute, as long as he could exchange it, he could completely find cultivators from the Repairing Heaven Institute and Jumang Academy to exchange for his suitable ¡°Earth Gold Core Pill¡±.


    As for the best sacred medicine for core formation, the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±, only the immortals can afford it.


    So, that batch of top talents from the four academies who had a way within, would all try to join the three halls of the immortal realm after graduation. They hoped to serve the country or participate in the exploration wars, accumulating and exchanging for spiritual pills that could assist in core formation.


    ¡°It is said that Brother Zuo Qiu will go to the Law Enforcement Bureau after graduation,¡±


    Mi Yudao mentioned another piece of gossip that he had heard.


    Chen Mobai was not interested in this.


    He asked about the names of the other two people who were deferring their graduation and were at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.


    [In other words, currently in the academy, apart from the teachers, among the students, I only need to keep an eye on these three people.]


    After Chen Mobai memorized the names of Zuo Qiushi and three other Foundation Establishment level seven, he thought to himself.


    ¡°It has started.¡±


    While they were chatting, the long-awaited highlight has finally arrived.


    A capable-looking woman wearing a white shirt, black suit trousers, tall, with her short hair tied into a ponytail, walked onto the balcony of the three-story building owned by the student council.


    ¡°That¡¯s Hua Zijing, she¡¯s the second-hand of the student council. Zuo Qiu has been making fewer appearances this year, and it¡¯s estimated that after his graduation, she will take over his position as president,¡±


    Mi Yudao, the know-it-all, immediately introduced.


    Chen Mobai took a look at Hua Zijing, a very unique beauty, her clothes were a bit conservative, but that might be deliberate.


    Behind her, there were two people familiar to Chen Mobai.


    They are Lu Tiansuan and Yuan Jinjun, both members of the student council.


    Among them, Yuan Jinjun was holding a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, which is probably what they were going to open today.


    Chen Mobai took a look with his Void Spirit Eye and found a bottle-shaped Magic Artifact inside.


    Hua Zijing took out a Device Piece. Without any extra bullshit, she directly called on the power of the Fire Godlight.


    The red brilliance, like a stream of fire, quickly fell into the Device Nurturing Sphere. In an instant, the seal and the Spiritual Liquid inside were dissolved into nothingness, revealing the true face of the concealed Magic Artifact.


    It was a Bronze Pot, with an empty spout and a slender handle, looking like a long snake. It had a very good exterior.


    However, Chen Mobai shook his head slightly after looking at it.


    This Spiritual Energy fluctuation seemed to be only a lower-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    However, at this time, Chen Mobai noticed that the expressions of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators around were a bit off, very shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually the Cyan Treasure Pot!¡±


    Mi Yudao looked at the Bronze Pot in Hua Zijing¡¯s hand, his face filled with envy.


    And at this moment, many of the students in the academy who knew the name of this Bronze Pot were also exclaiming in surprise, causing an uproar.


    ¡°What is the Cyan Treasure Pot?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand why a lower-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact could cause such a huge stir and reaction.


    ¡°It¡¯s one of the very few Storage Artifacts from the Immortal Realm. Even though it is only a lower-grade Rank-2, in the eyes of some people, its value is almost comparable to that of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact,¡±


    As an outstanding student in the Refining Implement Department, Ming Yuhua obviously knew the origin of the ¡°Cyan Treasure Pot¡±, and immediately explained it to Chen Mobai.


    [Oh, it¡¯s essentially a storage bag!]


    Even though he thought this way internally, Chen Mobai still cooperatively showed a ¡°shocked¡± expression after hearing this.


    In the Tianhe Realm, this sort of thing was the basic equipment of a core formation cultivator.


    In the near future, if the Void Dark Stone mine of the Lonely Spirit Ridge was mined, it was estimated that even the Qi Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect could have one each.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai covered his storage bag, which was stitched into the wide sleeve of his garment.


    Hua Zijing, who unveiled the ¡°Cyan Treasure Pot,¡± was delighted. She cradled the bronze pot in her snow-white palms to show off to the sixty-seven Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered in the square.


    Stimulated by this, students who originally planned to wait directly took out the device pieces they had prepared for a long time and opened the Device Nurturing Sphere they had set their sights on at their stalls.


    In an instant, the Fire Godlight flashed continuously, like a splendid red firework display in this underground cave.


    Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai suddenly had a feeling.


    This Hua Zijing wouldn¡¯t happen to be a shill, would she?


    The whole point was to stimulate these guys to open the Device Nurturing Spheres, thereby depleting a batch of Device Nurturing Spheres that may have been sealed for over a century.


    The more he pondered, the more it made sense, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t rant about it.


    He just quietly watched the rising and falling Fire Godlight.


    In the blink of an eye, thirteen Device Nurturing Spheres were opened. Among the flashing spiritual lights of the Rank-2 magic artifacts, some people looked ecstatic while others seemed regretful.


    One cut to heaven, one cut to hell.


    No wonder it¡¯s called ¡°high-end gambling stones.¡±


    After the Cyan Treasure Pot was unveiled, the entire afternoon saw the consumption of nineteen device pieces on this plaza. The two best magic artifacts were top-tier Rank-2, namely, a Flowing Light Dagger and a Red and Black Robe.


    Among them, the Black Robe with Red Patterns represents the uniform style of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and it¡¯s also one of the traditional costumes passed down.


    Each of the four Daoist Academies has its own unique uniforms.


    The Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    The Kun Peng Flying Fish Suit.


    The Repairing Heaven Colored Cloud Suit.


    The Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt.


    Wearing any of these could draw envious glances from the people of the Immortal Door.


    Chen Mobai can also apply for one after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, the Daoist Academy only issues Rank-1 level robes, and also everyone here is from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so they don¡¯t show off superior feelings, thus he was too lazy to pick them up.


    But this unearthed Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was carefully woven and cultivated by Artifact Refiners, and have already reached the top-tier of Rank-2 level.


    Hua Zijing immediately referred to the Map of Treasures and found out it was left by a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Besides the Cyan Treasure Pot, this Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was the next most valuable. The senior sister who got this defensive magic artifact was both excited and torn.


    She was excited because she had made it big, and torn because the Red and Black Robe didn¡¯t quite fit her size.


    ¡°Look, there¡¯s a shameless one trying to open that one.¡±


    Ming Yuhua pointed at that Device Nurturing Sphere which was priced at 800,000 Good Deed Points. Yuan Jinjun, along with another ordinary faced youth, walked up to the stall. The latter¡¯s eyes lit up with a yellow glow, and he carefully picked it up for inspection.


    ¡°That is Ming Yu, the vice president of the Student Council. His Bright Mirror Method Eye has the third highest accuracy rate for appraising Device Nurturing Spheres in the entire Treasure Trove.¡±


    As expected of a man of many knowledge, there¡¯s nobody Mi Yudao doesn¡¯t know.


    ¡°Huh, why did he put it down?¡±


    However, to their surprise, after inspecting this Device Nurturing Sphere, Ming Yu shook his head.


    Subsequently, Yuan Jinjun, who originally held a device piece and was excited to open it, instantly lost interest and left with Ming Yu.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask.¡±


    Having connections everywhere, Mi Yudao sneaked into the three-story building to inquire about the situation from Lu Tiansuan. He soon learned what had happened.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°After hearing from you guys that there may be a Mysterious Yang Cauldron inside that Device Nurturing Sphere, Yuan Jinjun wanted to snap it up and open it.¡±


    ¡°However, he is a suspicious man. Before opening it, he asked Ming Yu to appraise it. Ming Yu using his Bright Mirror Method Eye could only see a blurry pot-like shape but couldn¡¯t see any patterns that could prove it was the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.¡±


    Because Ming Yu himself considers his Bright Mirror Method Eye as the best in the Daoist Academy, he couldn¡¯t see the pot patterns and so concluded that you two, in collaboration with the stall owner, were setting a trap for Yuan Jinjun ¨C intending to make him spend 800,000 Good Deed Points to purchase that Device Nurturing Sphere and be the ¡®fool¡¯.¡±


    After hearing Mi Yudao¡¯s words, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua exchanged glances.


    Those people from the Student Council, why are they so confident!

 Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Chapter 270: Ming Yu_1

    Chapter 332: Chapter 270: Ming Yu_1


    Things suddenly started to look up.


    After the self-proclaimed expert students evaluated it, the Device Nurtifying Sphere sealing the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, which was initially in high demand, instantly became an object of mockery.


    The yellowish young man wore an even more bitter expression, wanting to limit his losses in time.


    The price dropped from eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points and continued to fall.


    Six hundred thousand.


    Three hundred thousand.


    One hundred thousand.


    And finally, it was reduced to fifty thousand Good Deed Points, but still, no one was interested.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s my turn.¡±


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s eyes lit up as he witnessed this and was about to step forward to buy the Device Nurtifying Sphere that had been identified by the student association as a rip-off scam.


    ¡°Wait a bit longer. Let¡¯s go check out the one that Senior Brother Mi found.¡±


    Chen Mobai stopped him. Mi Yudao paused slightly, but he quickly caught on and nodded with a smile.


    The trio left the square, rode on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, descended 800 meters, flew into a tunnel entrance about two meters in diameter, travelled another five to six hundred meters where the narrowest part only allowed one person to fly flat, and finally made it to the Fire Spirit Tree.


    A scorching breath rushed towards them. Chen Mobai looked at the dark red Spirit Tree rooted between the fiery red rocks with the Void Spirit Eye activated.


    The Device Nurtifying Sphere, buried between the roots and the rocks, instantly lost its misty covering, clearly descending into his sight.


    In his Void Spirit Eye, the sealed Device Nurtifying Spheres were basically unhidden.


    However, upon closer inspection, he noticed another Device Nurtifying Sphere sealed inside the Fire Spirit Tree, and found that he could not penetrate the seal.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Array Plate.¡±


    Wearing glasses in black frames, Chen Mobai kept his emotions well hidden from his companions.


    After he identified the Device Nurtifying Sphere that Mi Yudao had found, he used his mobile phone¡¯s drawing software to outline the magic artifact he had seen in his penetrative monochrome vision.


    ¡°Thanks. I¡¯ll look for a few more and send them to you all at once at the end of next year.¡±


    Looking at the drawing of the magic artifact sent over by Chen Mobai, Mi Yudao was full of admiration for his excellent drawing skills.


    ¡°Old Chen is the chief of our generation in the Symbol Department, his drawing skills are almost at par with mine¡±


    While saying this, Ming Yuhua also praised himself.


    But it was the truth. An Artifact Refiner also needs impressive design skills.


    Prior to the mechanical diagram, one needs to learn hand-drawing skills.


    Though Ming Yuhua¡¯s realistic-style drawing was different from Chen Mobai¡¯s elegant minimalist style, both of them were highly regarded and imitated by their classmates and even their juniors.


    After examining the Device Nurtifying Sphere, they returned to the square.


    At this point, only three to four dozen people remained.


    The Device Nurtifying Sphere of the Mysterious Yang Cauldron was still unsold.


    The trio of Chen Mobai pretended to be very surprised, walked up, and asked for the price.


    ¡°Twenty thousand Good Deed Points, do you want it?¡±


    The yellowish young man, who had initially insisted on a fixed price of eight hundred thousand, was no longer putting on airs and called out a price listlessly.


    All he wanted was to sell it off at this point and then fully dedicate himself to his cultivation, no longer wasting time looking for Device Nurtifying Spheres.


    ¡°Alright, should I pay using QR code or bank transfer?¡±


    Ming Yuhua also stopped mocking and pulled out his cell phone to pay.


    The yellowish young man was taken aback, as he hadn¡¯t held much hope at this point.


    After all, one Device Piece could be exchanged for a hundred school credits, and everyone was extremely careful when opening a ball.


    A Device Nurtifying Sphere, which had been determined by the student association to be ordinary, was basically unsellable at this point.


    He had already planned that if he couldn¡¯t sell it by tomorrow morning, he would just randomly throw this Device Nurtifying Sphere into a tunnel.


    So, any money he could make now was pure profit.


    Without any hesitation, he added Ming Yuhua as a friend and received his payment.


    ¡°Good luck.¡±


    After giving Ming Yuhua the Device Nurtifying Sphere from his stall, the yellowish young man left with these parting words.


    But just as he was leaving the square, about to cross the undercurrent, he felt a surge of unwillingness in his heart.


    However, having already sold the item, what use was his unwillingness?


    With a sigh, he disappeared at the end of the tunnel.


    On the other side.


    Ming Yuhua held the white jade ball, which faintly revealed the shape of a cauldron from its case, and he was enamored.


    ¡°I wonder when my Device Piece will arrive.¡±


    If Ming Yuhua had a Device Piece now, he would want to open this Device Nurtifying Sphere on the spot.


    ¡°You trust me this much?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard his mutterings and asked with a smile.


    After all, that was an item worth 100 school credits. Chen Mobai had practiced the Void Spirit Eye, but his cultivation time was admittedly short. According to logic, his Daoist skill in this aspect was definitely inferior to the vice president of the student council, Ming Yu.


    ¡°Of course. And this is not me boasting, but at the same stage, you and I are definitely better than Ming Yu.¡±


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s words made Chen Mobai chuckled, following which he handed over a Device Piece to the former.


    ¡°Old Chen, what do you mean by this?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You go ahead and use it first. Just return your Device Piece to me when you get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Ming Yuhua pause for a moment, and he couldn¡¯t resist asking.


    ¡°What if there¡¯s something you like, won¡¯t that delay your plans?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I haven¡¯t seen anything I like yet.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you. At most, by the beginning of next year, I¡¯ll ask Teacher Yan to take me deep into the Treasure Trove to return your Device Piece.¡±

 Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: Chapter 270 Ming Yu_2

    Chapter 333: Chapter 270 Ming Yu_2


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s Foundation Establishment happened to fall at the end of the term. Otherwise, given his status in the Refining Implement Department, under True Master Shaoyang¡¯s retreat, True Master Yan, the head of the department, would surely be willing to make the effort.


    With that said, Ming Yuhua accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s device piece.


    Then, he opened his ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± on the spot.


    A red gleam like a galloping dragon suddenly stripped off the white jade sphere in Ming Yuhua¡¯s hand, revealing its true form.


    Indeed, it was a blackish-green round cauldron with three legs and two handles.


    The treasure light was hidden, but as one¡¯s eyes fell on it, they felt a sudden weight and heat.


    ¡°It really is the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.¡±


    Seeing the round cauldron, Mi Yudao at the side couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    The spectacle of opening the nurturing sphere attracted the attention of the remaining thirty or forty people.


    Suddenly, the news that they had gotten a Rank-2 top grade magic artifact was known to everyone.


    In the conference room on the second floor of the Student Council, Yuan Jinjun was expressing his gratitude to Ming Yu.


    ¡°If not for you, I would have been duped by these three devious juniors for eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, they¡¯re playing tricks with us, the Student Council. These juniors clearly lack the respect for their seniors.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright, if you weren¡¯t so greedy, this trick wouldn¡¯t have worked on you.¡±


    As the person seated at the head of the conference table, Hua Zijing¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed, a look of disdain on her beautiful face.


    Yuan Jinjun listened, looking embarrassed, not daring to retort.


    On the other hand, Ming Yu frowned and was about to retort.


    A red light shone outside the window.


    ¡°Someone else has opened one.¡±


    The scene of the Fire Godlight had been witnessed more than twenty times today. Lu Tiansuan immediately changed the subject to prevent the two vice presidents from arguing.


    ¡°Go and find out what they got.¡±


    Ming Yu gave an order to Yuan Jinjun, who immediately complied and left.


    A quarter of an hour later, he walked in with a pale face, looking at Ming Yu strangely.


    ¡°What are you looking at me like that for?¡±


    Seeing Yuan Jinjun, who had always respected him, looking at him with suspicion, anger, doubt¡­.all sorts of emotions. Ming Yu frowned.


    ¡°It¡¯s that nurturing sphere you appraised. It¡¯s been opened.¡±


    Yuan Jinjun said one sentence, and Ming Yu hadn¡¯t reacted yet.


    Aside, Hua Zijing and Lu Tiansuan looked shocked, they glanced at each other, thinking of something.


    ¡°The two new Foundation Establishment students opened the sphere, and the artifact inside is the Mysterious Yang Cauldron!¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    After Yuan Jinjun finished speaking, Ming Yu stood up in surprise and anger.


    He even forget about his usual poise, he jumped out of the window, turned into a yellow spiritual light, and landed in front of Chen Mobai and the others.


    Seeing Ming Yuhua holding a blackish-green round cauldron with both hands, treasuring it like it was invaluable, Ming Yu was stunned.


    Having seen it with his own eyes, no matter how much denial, the fact was right in front of everyone.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes indeed surpassed his own.


    How could a new Foundation Establishment student in his fifth year¡­!?


    At this moment, Ming Yu became aware of the gazes around him.


    The fact that he had appraised this eighty-thousand nurturing sphere had already spread everywhere in half a day.


    He had previously promised confidently that with his Bright Mirror Method Eye, he could not confirm the cauldron pattern. Thus, no one could be sure that the artifact inside was a top-grade, rank-2 Mysterious Yang Cauldron.


    Because they believed his judgement, this originally hot-selling, sky-high nurturing sphere, was nowhere near as popular as it was in the evening, being sold to Ming Yuhua by a youth in light yellow clothes for almost a giveaway price of twenty thousand Good Deed Points.


    The surrounding skeptical glances made the usually arrogant Ming Yu¡¯s face flush red.


    ¡°Damn student council, did you intentionally collude with these two guys, trying to trick me out of my Device Nurturing Sphere that I painstakingly fished out of the magma all at a low price?¡±


    A voice filled with anger rang out, and everyone turned their heads to see the wheatish young man.


    He had already left, but the news about the Mysterious Yang Cauldron that Ming Yuhua had revealed was passed on to him by people on the square who knew him.


    The feeling of a knife being stabbed in his heart almost made him vomit blood, he hurriedly rushed back only to see Ming Yu and Chen Mobai standing together, and naturally assumed that the student council had found two unfamiliar faces to trick him out of his treasure.


    ¡°Watch your words, slandering the fair student council, do you want to be criticized by the whole school?¡±


    Ming Yu also happened to be angry, and he couldn¡¯t bear to be slandered by the wheatish young man. His face turned gloomy as he yelled angrily.


    ¡°Damned dog, do you really think your student council is the dean¡¯s office?¡±


    The anger in the heart of the wheatish young man was accumulating wave by wave. After being appraised by Ming Yu at noon, his Device Nurturing Sphere that could have been sold at a sky-high price was ultimately sold at a loss and it even attracted much ridicule from his fellow Daoist Academy students on the square.


    But at that time, he thought that his Device Nurturing Sphere was merely starting to fail to nurture the spiritual liquid, and the sealed magic artifact was just ordinary, so he bore with it.


    After all, charging eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points for an ordinary Rank-2 magic artifact was indeed a bit over the top.


    However, now the misunderstanding was resolved ¨C the magic artifact inside was a very good one indeed, and it was a versatile Rank-2 top-grade Mysterious Yang Cauldron. The market price was at least ten million Good Deed Points. All his anger surged up, the wheatish young man directly disregarded Chen Mobai and the two others, and rushed towards Ming Yu with clenched fists.


    ¡°How dare you!¡±


    A burst of yellow light erupted, and the clothes Ming Yu was wearing turned out to be a Rank-2 magic robe, which directly repelled the young man.


    However, the fact that someone dared to attack him, the vice-president of the student council, made his face flush with anger, who always thought highly of himself.


    He took out a golden wooden stick and couldn¡¯t help but slam it down on the wheatish young man, who was rushing up again.


    This golden wooden stick was also a Rank-2 magic artifact which he proudly made using his Bright Mirror Method Eyes. It was a top-grade Rank-2 Nine Raging Woods.


    The light of the magic artifact bloomed, and the wheatish young man¡¯s protective Spiritual Light dissolved in an instant at the moment of contact.


    Just as he was about to be hit by Nine Raging Woods, a sword light burst out from mid-air, precisely hitting the side of Nine Raging Woods, deflecting this magic artifact.


    Thud!


    The Nine Raging Woods fell to the ground, creating a large hole.


    Ming Yu turned his head and glared at Chen Mobai who controlled the Divine Wood Sword. An idea flashed in his mind to clear his name.


    ¡°I see, your targets are me, not Yuan Jinjun.¡±


    ¡°You used this Device Nurturing Sphere, the result of which you knew long ago, to trick me and tarnish my reputation, right?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, it must be that bastard¡¯s doing. But I have seen through it in the end¡­¡±


    Just as Ming Yu was halfway through his sentence, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t listen any longer, he simply disapproved.


    Moreover, he felt a bit guilty towards the wheatish young man. Although picking up a bargain was his own ability, the mood of having been picked upon was definitely bad. Seeing the latter¡¯s mental breakdown, as a fellow Daoist Academy student, he didn¡¯t have the heart to let his body suffer another blow.


    ¡°Only after I¡¯ve exposed and hit the nail on the head did you get angry in embarrassment? I¡¯ll first restrain you guys, and then invite the teachers from the dean¡¯s office to come over to investigate the truth and clear my name.¡±


    As Ming Yu spoke, he sneered at Chen Mobai and his group.


    He had already observed the cultivation levels of the three of them using his Bright Mirror Method Eyes ¨C they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even in a three-on-one fight, he could easily win.


    Thinking this way, he clenched the Nine Raging Woods in his hand, subconsciously ignoring the scene where Chen Mobai¡¯s lower-grade Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword had effortlessly deflected his high-grade Rank-2 magic artifact, thinking that it was because he hadn¡¯t taken it seriously.


    ¡°Stop blabbering.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s language was still quite gracious. If it were Ming Yuhua, she would probably say directly: what are you barking at?

    Five red and yellow halos emerged at the top of the wooden stick, turning into wave-like ripples, engulfing the fire spiritual power above the square. It quickly formed a bright yellow vortex ripple, forming a domain that made people feel heavy.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Stage 5.¡±


    Since Ming Yu had used his Bright Mirror Method Eyes to probe his cultivation level, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to use his Void Spirit Eyes in return, and saw the former¡¯s realm with one look.


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s not too late for you to surrender now.¡±


    Ming Yu didn¡¯t plan to hide anything either; he was openly flaunting his ¡°great¡± cultivation level.

 Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: Chapter 271: You moisten your throat first_1

    Chapter 334: Chapter 271: You moisten your throat first_1


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators watching from the sidelines showed anger on their faces, they didn¡¯t like Ming Yu¡¯s actions.


    However, some of them believed in Ming Yu¡¯s imagination, thinking he was really tricked by Chen Mobai and these freshmen.


    Mi Yudao felt bitter in his heart, but if he disassociated himself at this time, the reputation of abandoning his friends would follow him for a lifetime.


    ¡°Senior Ming, there must be some misunderstanding. How about we stop and find a place to discuss this, and sort out the whole situation?¡±


    He could only step forward, hoping to alleviate the situation.


    ¡°Humph! You¡¯re in the same group as them, trying to muddle the waters, pretending to be a mediator in front of me.¡±


    But Ming Yu did not even give him a proper look. Believing that he had exposed Chen Mobai and the others¡¯ plot to slander him, his body illuminated with spiritual power. Nine Raging Woods ripples surged out, emanating a powerful aura of restraint.


    Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao felt their bodies getting heavier, each blink of the eye consuming spiritual power.


    [It¡¯s hard, but the only thing we can do is explain to the student council through Lu Tiansuan afterwards.]


    Mi Yudao felt bitter in his heart yet did not plan to resist, directly surrendering.


    However, it was Ming Yuhua whose face turned red, as he began to mobilize the Pure Yang spiritual power in his body, attempting to break through the constraint of the Nine Raging Woods.


    ¡°You actually strike me, merely a Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, are you overestimating yourself?¡±


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai said something that shocked everyone present.


    Why was he so outrageous?


    It was understandable that the yellowish youth lost control and attacked Ming Yu.


    But this handsome young student, who seemed very calm, how could he say such absurd things that provoked laughter?


    Who was it that was truly overestimating himself?


    Although many people disliked Ming Yu for bullying the new students, they had to acknowledge his cultivation level.


    Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, plus the Nine Raging Woods, only a few students in the entire Daoist Academy could defeat him head-on; otherwise, he would not be able to hold the position of vice president.


    ¡°Resisting futilely.¡±


    Ming Yu sneered; he no longer wanted to exchange words with Chen Mobai.


    He exerted 80% of the power he could control from the Nine Raging Woods in his hand, planning to showcase his terrifying strength in front of these dozens of people as a way to intimidate everyone and pave the way for his vindication.


    Red and yellow ripples emerged around Chen Mobai and others, as if the three were about to be completely restrained.


    Ming Yuhua gritted his teeth, preparing to launch the Flame Explosion Technique from the Pure Yang Scroll, stimulating his innate spiritual fire for artifact refining. A dazzling purple glow suddenly shone beside him.


    He turned his head to look, and saw in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, a ball of purple flames, with a hint of green in the center, pulsing like a heart.


    Although the flame was only the size of a fist, everyone felt a piercing brightness and heat the moment their vision touched it.


    Rank-2 Spiritual Fire!


    But to defeat Ming Yu, it was simply impossible.


    Just when everyone thought that Chen Mobai was just trying to struggle, the fist-sized purple and green flame in his palm suddenly burst out with a spectacular deep-purple Sword Light.


    No Flying Sparrow Hairpin was used, he merely launched the Purple Fire Sword Light with the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    The Sword Light was like silk.


    The moment it burst forth, it entered the invisible ripples of the Nine Raging Woods in front of him, creating streaks of currents, rapidly and irresistibly bursting out of the restraining whirlpool, then its momentum remained unstoppable, going straight above Ming Yu¡¯s head.


    ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission!¡±


    Disbelieving eyes emerged ¨C are there students in the Daoist Academy who have this level of sword cultivation?


    But it was too late for regrets; Ming Yu¡¯s Divine Sense exploded, the yellow treasure light emerging from his robe to form a hard barrier, blocking this deep purple dazzling Sword Light for a breaths¡¯ time.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The yellow treasure light shattered, creating a beautiful firework display.


    Taking advantage of this moment, Ming Yu kept retreating; he no longer dared to hold back, he releases twelve times his spiritual power and Divine Sense, maximizing the power of the Nine Raging Woods.


    However, the six golden-yellow light rings had just formed, then one by one they were defeated by the deep-purple dazzling Sword Light that followed.


    ¡°Junior Stooge¡­ Spare me!¡±


    ¡°Show mercy!¡±


    Along with his blood-spitting, Ming Yu¡¯s pleading voice sounded.


    In another small western style building of the student council, Hua Zijing¡¯s angry shout came, along with a turquoise light that rushed towards Chen Mobai, trying to block this sword for Ming Yu.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai specifically paused the sword light bursting from his palm.


    Waiting until Hua Zijing¡¯s turquoise light hit the ground before striking out again.


    ¡°Splashing!¡±


    The moment the turquoise light touched the Sword Light, it shattered like mercury, turning into multitudes water droplets falling to the ground.

    Under the disbelieving eyes of everyone, this deep purple dazzling Sword Light stopped at the center of Ming Yu¡¯s forehead, circled his scalp like a dragon,While burning his hair at the same time, it reversed and returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s palm as if time was flowing back.


    ¡°The two vice-presidents of the student council, is this your level?¡±


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh after retracting his Sword Light, and said to Ming Yuhua beside him in a dispirited manner.


    ¡°Junior fellow student, may I ask for your distinguished name?¡±


    Hua Zijing descended with Lu Tiansuan and Yuan Jinjun, their faces were shocked. She greeted Chen Mobai with the ancient courtesy of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and asked.

 Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: Chapter 271: You First Moisten Your Throat_2

    Chapter 335: Chapter 271: You First Moisten Your Throat_2


    ¡°Enrollment Class 5012, Chen Mobai.¡±


    Since I¡¯ve taken action, there is no need to hide any longer.


    After revealing his name, he retracted the Qingyang Fire Seed he had been holding and put his hand behind his back, his face filled with boredom.


    ¡°Class of 5012! He¡¯s in the same class as Zhongli Tianyu! I didn¡¯t expect there would be another terrifying monster besides that freak.¡±


    True Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage surrounding them were visibly taken aback upon hearing of Chen Mobai¡¯s background.


    Everyone regarded Zhongli Tianyu as a monster primarily because of his promising future. All believed that his potential would surpass Zuo Qiushi, the current top student, by the time he reached grade ten.


    But now, Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius who has mastered Sword Rainbow Fission, has entirely surpassed the realm¡¯s limitations.


    Ming Yu and Hua Zijing, the two vice-presidents of the Student Union, couldn¡¯t withstand a single sword strike from him.


    Only if Zuo Qiushi, takes action, is there any chance of challenging this guy.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, Ming Yu was wrong first in this matter. I apologize on his behalf.¡±


    Hua Zijing cast a sharp glance at Ming Yu. At that moment, the latter didn¡¯t dare say a word. He hung his head, pretending to reflect upon his actions, fearing that Chen Mobai might notice him and strike him with another sword.


    ¡°Hmm, should I accept?¡±


    Chen Mobai pretended to consider, then turned his head to ask Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao beside him. The latter swallowed nervously, his face blank, too stunned to speak.


    ¡°I feel his apology lacks sincerity,¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who was naturally bold, agreed.


    ¡°If you two juniors agree, I can allow you to use the Map of Treasures for free ten times.¡±


    Hua Zijing misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were trying to take advantage of the situation.


    ¡°No, I mean your apology lacks sincerity.¡±


    Chen Mobai stretched out his hand and pointed at Hua Zijing. Although she was beautiful and the vice president of the Student Union, after his last sword attack, she no longer had the courage to confront him again.


    ¡°Ming Yu, come and apologize.¡±


    Hua Zijing yelled immediately. At this point, Ming Yu no longer cared about face-saving. When Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light threatened his life, he had felt the threat of death for the first time.


    A young man who grew up in a comfortable and safe environment now had his Dao heart shattered by the sword.


    ¡°Juniors, I was wrong in this matter. I hope you can forgive me.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Ming Yu immediately came forward and bowed, performing an ancient apology gesture to the three of them.


    ¡°This is reluctantly some show of sincerity. Don¡¯t forget the ten uses of the Map of Treasures.¡±


    Ming Yuhua watched all this with a satisfied face, nodding as he held the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s it for you,¡±


    But clearly, this time, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were not on the same wavelength.


    ¡°What else do you want? Should we also make him apologize?¡±


    Ming Yuhua, somewhat at a loss, indicated towards Yuan Jinjun, who was white-faced. As the latter broke into a cold sweat, Chen Mobai shook his head with a helpless look.


    ¡°I originally wanted Zuo Qiushi, the president, to apologize. And see if my Sword Light could win against a seventh-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.¡±


    Hiss!


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s statement, everyone, including Ming Yuhua, took a sharp breath.


    [Bro, I know you¡¯re strong, but challenging Zuo Qiushi directly seems a bit too fierce.]


    Ming Yuhua slipped over stealthily, indicating that it was enough and that there¡¯s no need to go too far.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, let¡¯s call it a day.¡±


    Chen Mobai was willing to listen to advice, but his original plan also wasn¡¯t bad. After all, in Tianhe Realm, the life-and-death dividing line is crossed upon reaching late Foundation Establishment stage.


    In the Immortal Sect, sparring is primarily done in the name of exchanging moves. He could use this rare opportunity to gauge the gap between him and those in the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    After all, following two battles, he has got a basic understanding of his strength¡¯s lower limit.


    He can instantaneously kill cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage and most of those in the middle stage.


    But he hasn¡¯t yet fought those in the late stage. Those on the seventh floor of the Foundation Establishment stage are their weakest. It¡¯s perfect to test his sword skills against them.


    But it seems Zuo Qiushi is not here. If he continues to humiliate others, it would appear disrespectful.


    Chen Mobai shook his head feeling bored and pulled back the Qingyang Fire Seed held in his palm.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, if you really want to spar with the president, you can leave your contact information.¡±


    But at this point, Hua Zijing was a little dissatisfied.


    Even though Chen Mobai mastered the Sword Rainbow Fission and could instantly kill the two vice presidents, Zuo Qiushi had also forged an invincible belief in their hearts over the years.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had belittled the Student Union president in front of so many people with his almost contemptuous tone. As vice president and director of the Secretariat, who had been following Zuo Qiushi all the way, Hua Zijing felt insulted.


    ¡°Okay, set up a time and place when he¡¯s free. But I¡¯m going to participate in the Crimson City University Alliance Exchange very soon, so you better arrange it quickly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t show the worry that everyone expected. Instead, he took out his phone excitedly, added Hua Zijing as a friend.


    ¡°Alright, please wait, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    After adding a remark ¡°Madman¡± gritting her teeth, Hua Zijing decided to immediately inform Zuo Qiushi about this matter.

 Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: Chapter 271: You First Moisturize Your Throat_3

    Chapter 336: Chapter 271: You First Moisturize Your Throat_3


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any more time here, he left with Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao.


    ¡°Junior, if there¡¯s any way I can help in the future, don¡¯t hesitate to contact me.¡±


    After flying out of the tunnel, Mi Yudao looked at him with awe, then bid farewell and left.


    Chen Mobai laughed and said goodbye to him, then took the satisfyingly fruitful Ming Yuhua and flew away from the back mountain.


    ¡°Brother, thank you.¡±


    Holding the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, Ming Yuhua was completely satisfied. He hadn¡¯t expected his first visit to the Treasure Trove would yield such a precious magic artifact.


    ¡°There is no need for formalities between us.¡±


    The two separated on campus, with Ming Yuhua still living in the campus dormitory.


    Chen Mobai returned to the small wooden house he was renting.


    Having given Ming Yuhua a Mysterious Yang Cauldron, ensuring he would spend a long time on treasure appraisal and refining incantations, and wouldn¡¯t bother him again about going to the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai intentionally adjusted his flying light to its brightest setting as he flew home.


    There was even a breaking sound accompanying the flight, to notify his neighbor Meng Huang, that he was back.


    Upon returning to the small wooden house, Chen Mobai waited about half an hour before taking out his phone and tentatively sent a very direct message.


    ¡°Can I hear you sing?¡±


    ¡­


    The Student Association.


    Hua Zijing and the others sat in the previous meeting room, the atmosphere was extraordinarily gloomy and depressing.


    ¡°Vice President, I suddenly remembered that it¡¯s been a while since I went home. I suddenly want to go back this year.¡±


    Yuan Jinjun carefully said to Hua Zijing.


    ¡°Going home? Hmm, you heard that the little junior is also participating in the exchange event, scared to be in the same team, right?¡±


    Hua Zijing sneered and saw through Yuan Jinjun¡¯s careful thinking.


    The exchange meeting of the Crimson City Cave Sky University Alliance is always organized by the student associations of all participating universities. Hua Zijing has been in charge of this for three consecutive years. Yuan Jinjun is responsible for liaising with Pure Yang Academy and is always enthusiastic about this.


    Because the students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy are always highly esteemed in the exchange meetings.


    After all, they are young and enjoy being looked up to and admired by others.


    But after Yuan Jinjun heard that Chen Mobai would also be participating this year, he thought it would be better to avoid the limelight and suddenly started to miss home.


    ¡°Alas, the fundamental error is mine. Over the past few years, as the vice president of the student association, I¡¯ve been so arrogant and complacent that I can¡¯t admit that someone is superior to me in the Art of Spiritual Eyes. So I caused this, and I am willing to resign.¡±


    At this time, Ming Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone was shocked.


    ¡°I can¡¯t make the decision. When the president arrives, you can tell him yourself.¡±


    Although Hua Zijing didn¡¯t like the arrogant Mingyu on ordinary days, when he heard that this long-time colleague was about to leave, he was a little bit emotional.


    ¡°No need. I have heard.¡±


    Suddenly, a heavy voice sounded.


    Everyone in the meeting room heard it and looked overjoyed, then a tall young man dressed in a Red and Black Robe appeared at the end of the table.


    ¡°President.¡±


    ¡­


    Night time.


    Chen Mobai was discussing music styles with Meng Huang, just about to persuade her to sing a few lines, when a call came in and hijacked the chat app.


    It was Hua Zijing who called.


    [Really annoying, especially at this time.]


    But Chen Mobai still patiently answered, without any small talk, Hua Zijing represented Zuo Qiushi in challenging him to a duel.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Alright, wait for me!¡±


    After grinding his teeth and saying this, Chen Mobai sent an apologetic voice message to Meng Huang.


    ¡°You moisten your throat first, I¡¯m going to have a duel with Zuo Qiushi, I¡¯ll come back soon to hear your singing.¡±


    In the villa on the hilltop, Meng Huang who had just heard this voice message opened her eyes wide.


    She naturally knew who Zuo Qiushi was!

 Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 272: All Techniques Used_1

    Chapter 337: Chapter 272: All Techniques Used_1


    Chen Mobai stepped over the underground currents and flew to the square where the student council was located.


    It was a place that was bustling with people just yesterday, but it was now eerily deserted.


    There was only one person waiting for him.


    Chen Mobai landed and took in the sight of Zuo Qiushi. He was sturdy, had a square face without eyebrows, half red and half black hair down his shoulders, and was dressed in the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    He had a Ring-headed Broad Sword embedded in the ground, supported by his right hand. His whole figure seemed strong and formidable.


    ¡°You have arrived.¡±


    Contrary to what Chen Mobai had imagined, Zuo Qiushi did not start talking in an aggressive or insulting manner, he just said calmly.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about the president. I only made this challenge because I wanted to test my abilities and see where I stand.¡±


    Watching Zuo Qiushi¡¯s tone, Chen Mobai naturally treated him in kind, laying out his reasons at the start.


    ¡°Oh, you want to know your own strength? Could it be that you also know the ¡®Little Red Sky¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Little Red Sky! What¡¯s happening?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mentioning of a mysterious term startled Chen Mobai. Could this be an earth-shattering event?


    ¡°It is something that the Crimson City Sky Hole will reveal during its millennium celebration. The major figure from Xianmen is here to host the ¡®Little Red Sky¡¯ event. According to my teacher¡¯s guess, it could be related to another world.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Due to the scarcity of resources on the Ground Origin Star, wars were launched regularly by Xianmen, in order to sustain the large number of cultivators.


    And the highest level of such war was to ¡°conquer a new world¡±.


    The last world-conquering war took place two thousand years ago. Xianmen had lost half of its population and almost got invaded by creatures of the other world.


    Although they won in the end, it was a hard-fought victory.


    ¡°Is there any other news?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask. Zuo Qiushi was taken aback.


    ¡°I asked you here for a fight, not a chat.¡±


    ¡°Oh, sorry, since I was a kid I¡¯ve been a little obsessed with wars over new territories. I couldn¡¯t help but excited hearing about the possibility of conquering a new world.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk anymore, he drew his Ring-headed Broad Sword.


    The moment the sword left the sheath, it was glinting chillingly, about a meter long and sharp. The blade¡¯s tip formed an arc, and when swung around, illuminated half of the square.


    ¡°Why is it just you? Where are the rest of the student council members?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai noticed something. On this square, there were only the two of them.


    ¡°To avoid anyone knowing the exact result of our fight, it¡¯s easier with just the two of us.¡±


    After these words from Zuo Qiushi, he swung his sword and a sharp Sword Light broke out, like a crescent moon tearing through the sky, its sharpness echoing in the air.


    Zing!


    Chen MoBai didn¡¯t say anything more. Drawing the Divine Wood Sword from his sleeve, he crushed the Sword Light. As if a fish swimming through the water, the Sword Qi Long Rainbow overcame the adversary¡¯s Sword Light landing


    Sword Rainbow, as if a heavy rain, covering the sky.


    However, Zuo Qiushi only needed to swing the big sword horizontally and vertically. The intersected cross Sword Light had already cut through the incoming Sword Rainbow.


    ¡°Should I try first?¡±


    From what he learned from Hua Zijing and others, Zuo Qiushi was well aware that Chen Mobai was a powerful Sword Cultivator who mastered the Sword Rainbow Fission. But the Sword Rainbow he used as a first move seemed quite an underwhelming choice, which made Zuo Qiushi slightly frown.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make the first move.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi gripped the sword with his right hand and made a strange seal with his left. Suddenly, Chen Mobai felt the Fire Spiritual Power around him become active. In the blink of an eye, a sea of fire erupted around him.


    The Fire Stabilization Technique was used, and the dark red sea of fire about to engulf him suddenly stopped in place. Then it seemed to be under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, concentrated in his palm, into a reddish lightning bolt.


    Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique!


    After some time of cultivation, Chen Mobai has mastered this thunder method. However, this was the first time he used it against someone. Good thing his opponent was up to the task.


    In the thunderclap, a rain of Divine Thunder crossed the sky, leaving behind a hint of charred smell, and landed on top of Zuo Qiushi¡¯s head. It broke through the three layers of his Defensive Magic, but was eventually blocked by the Spiritual Light of his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, before vanishing silently.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    After three moves, he had a rough idea of his opponent¡¯s strength.


    Given his brief period of cultivation, the power of his spells is not very strong and basically poses no threat to Zuo Qiushi.


    Indeed, the only thing that can disregard the realm difference, is his Sword Rainbow Fission.


    Thinking that he¡¯ll soon have to return and listen to Meng Huang¡¯s singing, Chen Mobai decided not to hold back anymore, and directly took out his strongest techniques.


    Brilliant deep purple Sword Light, with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin at its core, fired from his hand, like a laser cutting through the air. It cut through Zuo Qiushi¡¯s twelve Sword Lights and even penetrated the Spiritual Light of his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This is the first time that Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light has been blocked by someone.


    He didn¡¯t know if it was because Zuo Qiushi was really strong, or the Dancing Device Defensive Robe is powerful.


    Sword Light shone, Zuo Qiushi, blocking the Sword light, was already in front of Chen Mobai.


    The Green Scale Arm Guard lit up and countless dark green spots flew out from his sleeves, transforming into a sturdy shield, to block the opponent¡¯s sword.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai¡¯s left hand behind his back extended. Somehow he was holding a golden ax, seemingly awaiting Zuo Qiushi¡¯s approach.

 Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: Chapter 272: All Methods are Exhausted_2

    Chapter 338: Chapter 272: All Methods are Exhausted_2


    The axe fell, facing the slash of the two offensive magic artifacts, the protective spiritual light on the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe finally reached its limit.


    Zuo Qiushi swung his blade to block the golden jade axe.


    But he found that his wrist was tight, and he couldn¡¯t withdraw his sword for a moment.


    Looking down, he saw blue scales adhering to his bronzed skin from his wrist to his elbow without him noticing when they appeared. The scales released a paralyzing spiritual power at the critical moment, causing him to show flaws.


    Seeing the golden jade axe about to fall, Zuo Qiushi had to spit out a fiery red bead from his mouth.


    With a ¡®pop¡¯!


    Chen Mobai only felt that his palm, which was holding the axe, seemed to have suffered a huge impact. The palm stung and he couldn¡¯t help but let go. The axe flew up into the sky and struck the top of the cave wall.


    At this time, he was exposed.


    Zuo Qiushi shouted, his abundant spiritual power bursting out far beyond Chen Mobai¡¯s. While shattering the blue scales on his arm, he flipped the blade with both hands and struck out toward Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulders and chest.


    At the crucial moment of victory or defeat, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly burst out with clear light, and his divine sense operated to its limit.


    Zuo Qiushi, a seventh-rank Foundation Establishment cultivator and the long-term top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, proved to be the most powerful opponent Chen Mobai had ever met with his three magic artifacts and extraordinary magic duel skills.


    If he had already integrated his spirit at this time, he could use the divine sense to cast ¡°Divine Slash¡±, disrupting the opponent¡¯s mind and dodging this blade.


    Unfortunately, his relationship with Meng Huang was not yet mature, and he did not have enough practice.


    Even so, Chen Mobai still has an ace up his sleeve.


    A streak of red fiery sword qi burst behind him, as if another powerful Foundation Establishment true cultivator was ambush, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stab at Zuo Qiushi¡¯s brow.


    Although this blade can incapacitate Chen Mobai, Zuo Qiushi will also be severely injured under this sword.


    This was just a friendly spar, and Zuo Qiushi naturally made the most prudent choice.


    He flicked his wrist, turning the blade to deflect the fiery sword qi. At the same time, he kicked towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    His shoes were also a Rank-2 magic artifact called ¡°Stepping on Cloud Shoes¡±, which provided not only flight capability but also significant power.


    If this kick landed, even the Body Cultivators could bleed heavily.


    But Chen Mobai had regained control of his body at this opportunity. His right hand stretched forward, and the arm guard he was wearing absorbed more scales and perfectly blocked the Stepping on Cloud Shoes.


    A ¡®clang¡¯ sound.


    After the dull sound, both of them retreated.


    At this time, under Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense control, the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and Divine Wood Sword were once again transformed into sword light and sword rainbow.


    The Sword Qi Long Rainbow of the Divine Wood Sword interwove into a sword net and slashed towards Zuo Qiushi.


    The latter was retreating in mid-air, and the Stepping on Cloud Shoes flickered with spiritual light. Along with the attack of the Divine Wood Sword, it drove his body to constantly adjust his posture and wave the long sword in his hand in a very short time, leaving no opening at all.


    ¡°This guy is tougher than I thought.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai finally made up his mind and launched the ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡±.


    He spat out his own Yuan Yang¡¯s Qi toward the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in the mid-air, and the Qingyang Fire Seed, which was originally integrated with this small flying sword, instantly burned like oil. The color also changed from deep purple to half purple half green.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, endowed with the purple-green fire seed, increased the sharpness of the Purple Fire Sword Light, enhancing to another level.


    Bright light arose!


    In this giant cave, which has existed for thousands of years, a round of purple sunlight suddenly appeared. It cleared all the darkness and flew towards the just-landed Zuo Qiushi with a terrifying sword intent that can cut everything.


    The latter changed his face drastically as he saw this.


    He first turned pale, then flushed, seemingly using a technique to stimulate his potential. His abundant spiritual power was elevated to the next level in a flash.


    Then, the fiery red spiritual pearl that had blown away the golden jade axe and made Chen Mobai¡¯s body out of control was spit out by him again. However, this time it revealed its true power.


    The fiery red brilliance shone, carrying a bit of Dao¡¯s true meaning, and collided with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    In the rumbling sound.


    As the center of the collision of the two forces, Zuo Qiushi was flung back again, a streak of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.


    Chen Mobai launched the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± with the little spiritual power left in his body, and wrapped himself with the power of this magic artifact to block the aftermath while starting his divine sense.


    The hidden mannequin burst out from the darkness like a shadow.


    ¡°Cough cough¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After about half an hour, the aftermath of the collision between the spiritual pearl and sword light finally dissipated. Zuo Qiushi waved his wide sleeve, wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth while clearing the smoke around him.


    Gradually, the figure of Chen Mobai appeared in his sight.


    The strand of mists and clouds dissipated, revealing his untouched and calm posture.


    Compared to this, although Zuo Qiushi wiped off the blood from his mouth in time and his Red and Black Robe remained stain-free, his overall demeanor was somewhat disturbed.


    However, as the top student of the Daoist Academy for all these years, he had no intention of admitting defeat just like that.

 Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: Chapter 272: All Means Used _3

    Chapter 339: Chapter 272: All Means Used _3


    Although using a Rank-3 magic artifact might seem overbearing, compared to the prospect of failure, Zuo Qiushi was willing to temporarily set aside his pride.


    ¡°You lost.¡±


    But as Zuo Qiushi was about to unleash the true power of his Fire Spirit Pearl, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Lost? Impossible¡­¡±


    As Zuo Qiushi refuted, he felt a piercing chill at his back, as if a sharp sword was pressing against his heart, leaving him immobile.


    [Did he resort to trickery? Did he call for reinforcements?]


    This was the first thought that flashed through Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mind.


    Immediately, he recalled how he had previously forced Chen Mobai into a corner, only for a mysterious blaze of sword light to strike from behind, forcing him to return his blade to defend, costing him the crucial victory.


    ¡°I admit defeat, what happened?¡±


    At this point, Zuo Qiushi wasn¡¯t a sore loser. Once he put down his long knife and dispelled the accumulated liquid spiritual power, he stared straight into Chen Mobai¡¯s clear ¡®Void Spirit Eye¡¯.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you inquire about my reputation before we fought?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked back with curiosity.


    ¡°I did. Besides Zhongli Tianyu, you¡¯re the best in the 5012th class. First in Rune Mastery, Sword Training, and Puppet Mastery¡­¡±


    Zuo Qiushi suddenly stopped as he said the last three words.


    His eyes slowly widened as he understood.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Ignoring the flying sword pressing at his back, Zuo Qiushi turned around to find Chen Mobai¡¯s anonymous puppet holding the Divine Wood Sword, and he couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh.


    ¡°Who would have noticed that you, a sword cultivator, were also a puppet master.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re pretty impressive, had you not underestimated me at the beginning, you might have been able to defeat me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice came from behind Zuo Qiushi. He snapped his fingers and the anonymous puppet holding the Divine Wood Sword jumped up and landed beside him.


    ¡°I thought very highly of you, and put in all my effort. Why do you think I underestimated you?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi turned around again, faced Chen Mobai, and asked in confusion.


    ¡°That bead of yours is a Rank-3 magic artifact, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the unmoving Fire Spirit Pearl in mid-air, which had collided with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    At first, he didn¡¯t notice it. But now thinking about it, the artifact that could directly confront a top-tier Rank-2 Golden Jade Axe and cause him to lose control, if not Rank-3, then what could it be?


    Moreover, everyone in the Dance Tool Dao Academy knew that Zuo Qiushi was practicing ¡°The Union of Differences¡± that incorporates a Rank-3 Co-participation Legal Device.


    ¡°Correct, but a loss is a loss. Your anonymous puppet is also a Rank-3 Mech. Even if I had used the true power of the Fire Spirit Pearl from the beginning, I would have likely been at a disadvantage against you.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi¡¯s demeanor was even better than Chen Mobai had imagined, as he candidly admitted his defeat.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the same, my anonymous puppet, due to the nature of the spirit stone, only has the power for three attacks. If we were to do it again, you would probably win.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, although the truth was mixed in his statement. The intermediate-grade spirit stone within his anonymous puppet indeed only possessed three attacks worth of power.


    If he ignored the damage to the precious spirit stone, the power that could be manifested by this anonymous puppet probably wouldn¡¯t be weaker than Zuo Qiushi¡¯s Rank-3 artifact.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a sore loser. I¡¯m graduating this year and I¡¯ve been wondering who would succeed me. Are you interested?¡±

    After losing, Zuo Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief and offered an invitation that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Me? Student Council President? Isn¡¯t that a bit casual?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, once you agree, I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t interested in joining the Student Council as he didn¡¯t want to deal with trivial matters.


    But if they let him become the president directly, it seemed worth considering.

 Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away From Responsibilities_1

    Chapter 340: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away From Responsibilities_1


    ¡°Do you know why I moved everyone away so they won¡¯t see the results of our magic duel?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi asked a strange question that Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know the answer to.


    ¡°The presidents of the student unions in the four Daoist academies are representatives of their own institutions and are often compared by all university students in the Immortal Sect. I think I¡¯ve done an adequate job without letting Dance Tool Dao Academy down. So, the successor naturally can¡¯t be weak.¡±


    As Zuo Qiushi said this, he pointed to Chen Mobai, suggesting he was suitable.


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu is good. He was my first choice, but he is only at the fifth tier of Foundation Establishment, and he needs two more years of cultivation to handle this position.¡±


    ¡°You are good, although your cultivation realm is low, your talent for magic duels is unmatched. I checked your data, and you were able to join our academy because you won against all contenders at the same generation in Red Sandstone City.¡±


    ¡°I was thinking if I win over you, I would publicly announce that we were equal matches. It would be a hype for you since you achieved the Sword Rainbow Fission, and no one would easily contradict this record.¡±


    Unfortunately, Zuo Qiushi lost.


    But because of this, what was initially just a thought in his head, he made up his mind instantly after witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s terrifying talent in magic duels.


    It would be you.


    Chen Mobai was a bit tempted, but he wondered if his frequent absences would affect his exploration of the Tianhe Realm once he takes on the role of student union president.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this, when I was president of the student union, I was also a laissez-faire boss, and I left all the work to Hua Zijing. After I graduate, it may even be better if you, as president, don¡¯t want to manage affairs.¡±


    After listening to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded and then asked the most important question.


    ¡°What are the benefits of being the student union president?¡±


    ¡°What kind of benefits are you referring to?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi was a bit uncertain as to what Chen Mobai referred to as ¡°benefits.¡± His imminent entry into public service gave him a profound understanding of these two words, and he instantly thought of several implications. To avoid misunderstandings, he simply asked directly.


    ¡°Something substantial, such as potions, magic artifacts, academic credit, Vermillion fruit, etc. Are there such benefits for being the president of the student union?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still quite innocent, asking for these things put Zuo Qiushi at ease.


    ¡°Since the student union helps the academy connect with students and maintain order, the academy will grant us five credits a year.¡±


    ¡°As for magic artifacts, since the president is the face of the academy, you will receive a set of Rank-2 Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.¡±


    ¡°And you can freely use the Map of Treasures. The academy takes half of the credits acquired from the Map of Treasures, and the rest counts as benefits.¡±


    These are the overall benefits of the student union. Everything else is related to various responsibilities, obligations, and associated powers.


    After hearing about this, Chen Mobai felt somewhat let down.


    ¡°Just five credits a year?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a small number. These five credits are only available to ten members of the entire student union, all of whom are my trusted aides. Our main source of credit income is still from the Map of Treasures. Although half of it will be taken by the academy, if you are lucky, you can accumulate enough in one or two years to exchange for a Device Piece. If a magic artifact emerges, you, as the president, have the priority to choose.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai showing some dissatisfaction, Zuo Qiushi had to disclose some of the hidden benefits of the student union.


    Sure enough, when he heard about this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Accumulating credits on his own would take a long time, which isn¡¯t as fast as earning rent directly.


    At the end of each year in the Daoist Academy, people would open the Device Nurturing Sphere. Each person who does so spends 100 credits to exchange for a Device Piece and will not hesitate to pay the small two-point fee for the information query on the Map of Treasures.


    And with the influence of the student union, his search for Device Nurturing Spheres that probably seals Rank-3 Magic Artifacts will certainly be more efficient.


    ¡°In that case, I think it¡¯s worth considering.¡±


    Upon hearing this from Chen Mobai, Zuo Qiushi assured him that he would immediately vacate his position for him.


    ¡°Why so suddenly?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve graduated this year, and after handing over the student union affairs, I will be starting my new job in the enforcement bureau. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have given the position to Zijing to serve as an interim for two years before handing it over to Zhongli Tianyu or other more talented candidates.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi didn¡¯t hide anything and directly told Chen Mobai why he was in such a hurry to step down.


    Indeed, compared to the promising career in the Immortal Sect and the potential of gaining the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±, being the president of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s student union is also a vital position for accumulating credits to exchange for the ¡°Fire Elemental Knot Golden Elixir¡±, but having a better option, one should strive to get the best.


    Presumably, Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Daoist Institute feels the same way.

    ¡°You just trust me like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai still feels a bit like he¡¯s dreaming. How did he win over the whole student union after winning over Zuo Qiushi?!


    ¡°I¡¯ve personally experienced your talent in magic duels, the best I¡¯ve ever seen in my life. What we need for the foremost representatives of the four Daoist academies is strength, and aren¡¯t you the most suitable?¡±


    Upon Zuo Qiushi¡¯s counter-question, Chen Mobai felt the reasoning was still a bit far-fetched.


    ¡°Moreover, you are a disciple of Supervisor Che. Even if you can¡¯t manage the student union properly, he can pick up after you. Anyway, once I hand this position over to you, I will have fulfilled my responsibility to the academy.¡±

 Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away from Responsibilities_2

    Chapter 341: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away from Responsibilities_2


    It was only after his final words that Chen Mobai understood.


    So Che Yucheng¡¯s reputation was also at stake here.


    Upon saying this, Zuo Qiushi finally revealed his true thoughts, leaving no doubt in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    Influenced by his grandfather, he had longed to hold an official post since he was a child.


    Although it was only a small office in a school, it was still an office after all!


    In no time, the members from various student council departments arrived after receiving the news.


    ¡°After I graduate, he will be the next chairman.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi acted swiftly and decisively, recognizing Chen Mobai as his predecessor in front of everyone present, and then he submitted the job handover application in the system of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Wait, why is this¡­¡±


    ¡°We need a reason.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Chairman, can you please tell us the reason?¡±


    Yuan Jinjun, who was originally waiting for Zuo Qiushi to teach Chen Mobai a lesson, could not comprehend, he opened his eyes wide and looked at them.


    The rest of the people naturally disagreed too, but Zuo Qiushi carried weight in their hearts and they didn¡¯t dare to oppose it openly. They could only subtly express their slight protest.


    ¡°I lost, he is the most talented student in magic duel in the Daoist Academy in the past century, he is strong enough to be the face of the Daoist Academy, is this reason enough?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi pointed to the traces of the magic duel in the cave, admitting his defeat.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you would lose.¡±


    The person who said this was Hua Zijing, she regards Zuo Qiushi as a deity.


    Ever since she joined the student council and followed Zuo Qiushi to attend several joint activities with representatives from other Daoist faculties, she had never seen him lose.


    ¡°I also didn¡¯t believe that I would lose, but once I lost, it is still loss, it isn¡¯t something to be proud of, do you think I am the kind of person who would tarnish my own name to benefit someone else?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi retorted with a question, and Hua Zijing and the others were left speechless.


    Indeed, Zuo Qiushi was strong, but he was not grand.


    ¡°Starting from tomorrow, Chen is the president of the student council, I have already submitted my application, you guys need to assist him well in future.¡±


    ¡°The application has just been submitted, can the Daoist Academy¡¯s academic affairs office approve it this quickly? And there¡¯s a chance that the Daoist Academy might not agree.¡±


    Hua Zijing and others were a little unwilling, after all, after Zuo Qiushi graduated, she was supposed to inherit his role.


    Although she didn¡¯t have any ambitions for this role, she still found it hard to accept the fact that a junior who had just denounced her yesterday was about to take over.


    ¡°No problem, the head of the academic affairs office is Chen¡¯s teacher, if he is still handling academic affairs, he will likely approve it by tonight upon seeing the application.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi said something that left Hua Zijing and others dumbfounded.


    So there was this kind of relationship!


    At this moment, a new email came to the student council¡¯s computer, it was an acknowledgement of Zuo Qiushi¡¯s resignation as the student council president and a recommendation for Chen Mobai to take over.


    There were only two words:


    [Agreed!]


    Ding ding ding!


    At the same time, a mass notification was sent to everyone¡¯s phones through the campus network of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    [After a period of internal selection, our academic affairs office agrees to have Chen Mobai from 5012 batch take over as the president of the Daoist Academy¡¯s student council for the new session. We hope under his leadership, the student council can continue to be the bridge and hub connecting all students, always keeping in mind the purpose of serving students, assisting teachers, and collaboratively building a beautiful campus.]


    Once this notification was released, it indicated that the matter was settled and even if Zuo Qiushi wanted to come back as president, it was impossible.


    Chen Mobai felt as if he was dreaming.


    It¡¯s all set?


    ¡°Zijing, Ming Yu, Renyou stay back, I have a few words to say to you.¡±


    At this moment, Zuo Qiushi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He introduced the three deputy presidents of the student council to Chen Mobai, and the other heads of departments had no choice but to leave reluctantly.


    Zuo Qiushi, being the most respected student council president in the Daoist Academy all these years, made a heartfelt speech. After that, the three people, Hua Zijing, promised not to let down the student council they had fought for over these years, and would assist the junior Chen Mobai well, continuing to play the role of the student council in the Daoist Academy.


    Among them, Ming Yu, who was beaten up by Chen Mobai once, seemed to be the most enthusiastic, as if he had completely accepted the situation.


    Hua Zijing was a bit unwilling at first, but she was a loyal follower of Zuo Qiushi, and when he asked her for help, she could only agree helplessly.


    The last one, Shen Renyou stood out a little less, with small eyes, big mouth, and a turned-up nose, his face looked a bit peculiar, his cultivation level was six levels of Foundation Establishment, second only to Zuo Qiushi.


    He hadn¡¯t been beaten up by Chen Mobai, and he was still a bit skeptical about Chen taking over, his eyes showing caution and hesitation.


    But he joined the student council only for the academic credits and benefits from the Map of Treasures. Since the matter was already settled, he just drifted with the current and acknowledged Chen Mobai¡¯s succession.


    ¡°Soon, you will know how correct my choice was.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing that the three vice presidents agreed not to make trouble under his persuasion, Zuo Qiushi said these words while laughing and then got up and walked towards the exit.


    His era finally came to an end.


    It was tough to get to this point.


    At last, he didn¡¯t have to face those three monsters anymore.


    Thinking about this, Zuo Qiushi¡¯s footsteps got brisker and he disappeared at the door in a blink.

 Chapter 342 - Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Showing No Mercy_3

    Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Showing No Mercy_3


    ¡°For now, let¡¯s leave it at that. I do like holding an office, but I¡¯m not fond of managing things. Let¡¯s operate the student council as per his previous rules.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very straightforward. Hua Zijing and the other two nodded their heads. This is what was agreed upon before Zuo Qiushi left.


    ¡°By the way, Chairman, here is the big list and schedule for attending the exchange meeting. Please check it.¡±


    Hua Zijing handed over a document, originally intended for Zuo Qiushi¡¯s approval. However, the latter had made a run for it and left the decision to Chen Mobai.


    He glanced at it and noticed that some names were highlighted in red.


    ¡°These are the candidates that the Daoist Academy decided on. They must be included.¡±


    Hua Zijing¡¯s words were very tactful, and Chen Mobai spotted both his and Meng Huang¡¯s names in the document.


    In other words, these were people with connections, and the student council couldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    Initially, Chen Mobai, who had little interest in the matter, perked up at the sight of the page with the performance schedule.


    ¡°Is this the program list for the millennial celebration? How did you guys get it?¡±


    ¡°The overall director of the program is our academy¡¯s team leader, Teacher Bian. He asked us to help maintain order during the performance. At that time, the majority of our student council will be deployed.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care about that. He wouldn¡¯t object to the entire student council being deployed.


    What piqued his interest was seeing that the start of the millennial celebration program featured Meng Huang¡¯s solo performance of ¡°Like a Dream Order.¡±


    ¡°Is rehearsals happening every day?¡±


    He asked.


    ¡°Recently, it¡¯s every day, but as we approach the millennium celebration of Crimson City, the frequency may gradually decrease to prevent accidents.¡±


    ¡°As the newly appointed student council president, this is the first order of business. The millennium celebration involves the upper echelons of the immortal gates and student groups from the other three Daoist Academies. It concerns the overall image of the Daoist Academy. I believe it¡¯s necessary to do this as well as we can.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he closed the document in his hand and spoke with gravity.


    ¡°What¡­ does the president mean?¡±


    Hua Zijing seemed uncertain and asked, frowning.


    ¡°During the program rehearsal, I will personally lead the team to maintain order.¡±


    Chen Mobai disclosed his plan. With a few more listens to Meng Huang¡¯s song during his ¡°Merge Spirit Into One¡± practice, he should be able to master it.


    Hua Zijing and the others didn¡¯t overthink it. They felt that their new leader was setting an example, first showing himself in the most challenging and tiring positions to win their favor.


    ¡°I was originally in charge of this, but since the president is interested, I can take a rest.¡±


    Shen Renyou nodded and immediately handed over his position.


    When Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house, it still dazzled with rainbow lights.


    By that time, Meng Huang had completely let go of her reserve and had immediately sent a message over.

    [You said you were going to have a magic duel with Zuo Qiushi. How did you end up being the student council president?]


    [He lost to me in a magic duel and was defeated by my demeanor. He believes that among Daoist Academy students, only I am eligible to succeed him. I was initially not planning on taking over, but his constant persuasion made me change my mind. He said that without me, no one in the Daoist Academy could compete against the chiefs of the other Daoist Academies. Alas! With the reputation of the academy resting on me, how could I ignore such a heavy burden? Wouldn¡¯t that betray the kind teachings of our esteemed teachers? I had to step up. ]


    Chen Mobai spoke based on facts, slightly exaggerating his own achievements.


    However, Meng Huang¡¯s response made him feel cheated, as if he was stuck in a scheme by Zuo Qiushi.


    [Certainly, the previous years Zuo Qiushi managed to suppress Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy, Ling Dao teacher from Repairing Heaven Institute, and Taishi Shu from Kunpeng Daoist Institute using his higher realm. However, this year, it is said that all three have broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment while he has shown no progress. He would definitely not win. Seeing you as a magic duel prodigy, he made a strategic retreat and removed himself from the situation.]

 Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Chapter 274: Playing Gods and Controlling Qi_1

    Chapter 343: Chapter 274: Playing Gods and Controlling Qi_1


    Crimson City¡¯s Great Theater.


    In the center of the front row, Chen Mobai clasped his right hand into a fist and rested it on his cheek, his eyes half-closed as he listened to the celestial-like voice of Meng Huang rehearsing on stage.


    Next to him were Bian Yiqing, Hua Zijing, and other student council members.


    Chen Mobai was a man who kept his word.


    Even after chatting with Meng Huang and realizing that he might have been manipulated by Zuo Qiushi, he still held onto his words, never retreating from his commitment.


    Consequently, he spent the past few days personally leading the student council¡¯s key personnel, responding to Bian Yiqing¡¯s call, and coming to the cave in Crimson City to help.


    As expected, his integration with the Divine, which was slightly deficient, under the healing power of Meng Huang¡¯s song, completed its final stage of unity.


    In the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, a green paulownia with two branches and over twenty buds took root.


    This signified the formation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Consciousness, which was considered his personal destiny.


    If he were cultivating the ¡°Union of Differences¡± and using the non-physical puppet to infer, this would be the form of his integrating object.


    Unfortunately, the Rank-4 green paulownia in the Red Sandstone City was taken by Master Shi Qing; otherwise, he would really consider switching to ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    After all, Zhongli Tianyu served as a great example. If he could truly transform the green paulonia to his integrating object, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t need the Tree Fruit and could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection in a short time.


    But this was merely wishful thinking, as cultivating the ¡°Union of Differences¡± required even stricter criteria than the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Chen Mobai tried inferring it once with the non-physical puppet and found his compatibility with this divine transformation technique average.


    The Pure Yang Scroll suited him better. As long as he was armed with a Spirit Stone, it could step by step elevate his Fire Spirit Root to a Heavenly Spirit Root. There was no need to worry about elusive compatibility or chance.


    After merging the Divine into One, the Divine Manipulation Technique was trained to its final level¡­ ¡°Steering Ether with Wandering Mind¡±.


    At this realm level, reality and virtual space can be affected with Divine Consciousness.


    As a result of division and fusion, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Consciousness seemed to have undergone a transformation, elevating in quality.


    With a thought, a bud from the Green Paulownia rooted in the central Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion broke off from the branch, transforming into an intangible thought knife.


    This was the ¡°Divine Slash¡±!


    Against opponents with Divine Consciousness below his own, he could deliver a decisive kill in a split second.


    Even for opponents with higher Divine Consciousness levels, he could use this move to disrupt the opponent¡¯s mind and find the key to victory.


    If he had developed this move earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have been forced to reveal all his cards against Zuo Qiushi in order to win.


    Chen Mobai carefully counted; the green paulownia now had two branches, each bearing twenty-three buds, suggesting he could launch twenty-three ¡°Divine Slashes¡±.


    On two branches, apart from buds, there were two paulownia fruits.


    If Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to use up the source of his Divine Consciousness and utilized the fruits to perform ¡°Divine Slash¡±, even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to withstand it.


    But his first thought was to continue to divide the Green Paulownia.


    After all, ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡± could be practiced repeatedly.


    Chen Mobai decided that after a while, when he adapted to the sudden doubling of his Divine Consciousness after integrating it into one, he would continue to split the Green Paulownia Seedling and divide his mind into thoughts.


    Moreover, with the increase in Divine Consciousness, he could consider refining the remaining half of the Green Wood Spirit Heart.


    ¡°President ¡­¡±


    Just as he was considering how to further enhance his abilities, a familiar voice from outside snapped him out of his thoughts.


    ¡°Hmm, has the rehearsal finished?¡±


    Chen Mobai woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at the stage, only to see that the performers were already tidying up various props.


    ¡°Yes, you said you would be leaving the rehearsal for another date with a superstar.¡±


    Hua Zijing said grumpily.


    Originally, she wasn¡¯t on the list for this exchange meeting. But Chen Mobai, feeling that he wasn¡¯t familiar with the student council members and would be exhausted if he led the team personally, specifically called her for help.


    He also enlisted Shen Renyou, who was originally in charge of this.


    Bian Yiqing was overjoyed to see Chen Mobai, the newly elected president of the student council, bring along two vice-presidents to help in person.


    But when Chen Mobai came backstage after rehearsal ended and had a brief chat with Meng Huang, Bian Yiqing realized that things weren¡¯t as straightforward as he thought.


    However, he was just a teacher and wouldn¡¯t attempt to forcefully interfere.


    Yet considering Chen Mobai¡¯s unclear relationship with that Heavenly Spirit Root in Danxia City, Bian Yiqing subtly reminded Meng Huang to see a man¡¯s true colors before making any commitments.


    Over this period, the relationship between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang gradually warmed, and two days ago, they even started dining out together.


    However, during the first dinner, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.


    Meng Huang brought along her senior fellow, Jiang Yuyuan, and Chen Mobai brought Hua Zijing as a cover.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The cautious interaction over the past few days between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang had left both Jiang Yuyuan and Hua Zijing feeling quite uncomfortable.


    Seeing that it was nearly time for lunch, Hua Zijing was rather unwilling.


    She didn¡¯t want to be the third wheel, and if it hadn¡¯t been for the chance to see the handsome Jiang Yuyuan, she would never have agreed to this.


    ¡°I have something to do today, so I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    After merging the Divine into One, Chen Mobai¡¯s control over the latest realm of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Steering Ether with Wandering Mind¡±, was still slightly unstable, so he felt returning and closing himself off for a few days would be the better option.

 Chapter 344 - Chapter 344: Chapter 274: Traveling God Controls Qi_2

    Chapter 344: Chapter 274: Traveling God Controls Qi_2


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hua Zijing had already done her make-up and even let loose her ponytail. She styled her hair to look beautiful, hoping to leave a good impression on Jiang Yuyuan.


    But then Chen Mobai said he wouldn¡¯t go for their meeting.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. Just then, he noticed that Hua Zijing looked quite attractive today. She wore a black dress that accentuated her tall and fair figure. Her long and black hair draped over her shoulders. She was looking much more beautiful than the serious and dignified image she maintained during the student council meetings.


    ¡°Nothing¡­¡±


    Hua Zijing was forced to utter these three words through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Well then, I should leave now. After these few days of personal observation, I feel both of you are quite capable of maintaining the order,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    While Shen Renyou couldn¡¯t comprehend his words, Hua Zijing intuited what he meant and widened her eyes to ask him.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be coming from tomorrow. Inform me on the day of the official exchange meeting. I will show up to meet the representatives of the Daoist Academy,¡± Chen Mobai bluntly explained his plans.


    The entire student council was flabbergasted.


    What just happened?


    Wasn¡¯t he pursuing Meng Huang?


    How could he suddenly retreat when he was about to succeed?


    Is this a case of a new broom sweeps clean? But it happened too soon!


    No matter what they thought, Chen Mobai simply resumed his cultivation, shuttling only between the Treasure Trove and Xiao Nanshan after achieving his objective. He didn¡¯t even return to the small cottage he had rented.


    ¡°What happened? Did you reject him?¡±


    Two days later, Jiang Yuyuan, who hadn¡¯t seen Chen Mobai at his usual spot, asked Meng Huang with a puzzled expression. Meng Huang had the most complicated expression on her face that he had ever seen. There was resentment, grievance, distress, confusion, regret, and so on¡­


    She didn¡¯t understand why he suddenly gave up on her after only a few days of pursuit.


    Was it because she didn¡¯t make enough progress?


    If she had known, she would have agreed to meet him alone at the beginning.


    Why was he so impatient!


    Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to the complex thoughts of Meng Huang and her group. He happily took out the half of the sealed Emerald Wood Spirit Heart from his storage bag after solidifying his realm in the ¡°Wandering Spirit Qi Control¡±.


    The blue solution inside the glass bottle was frozen by Yan Bingxuan into a stone resembling a giant sapphire.


    Centred in the sapphire was the half piece of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.


    Chen Mobai rented a cultivation room from the Daoist Academy to ensure that no one would disturb him.


    With his previous experience of absorbing the spirit, he was not worried about refining it.


    However, due to the triple sealing and the need to maintain the effect of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart without damaging it, he had to be extremely careful.


    Being proficient in the Divine Manipulation Technique and with increased level of his Divine Sense Realm, he meticulously worked on unsealing the seal.


    Following the seal breaking mantra left by Qing Nu and Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai began to dissolve their sealing power one by one on the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.


    Time passed quickly.


    After fully absorbing the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, Chen Mobai opened his eyes. If there was someone in the cultivation room, they would have seen an invisible and shapeless sword in his eyes, extremely captivating.


    He felt his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace. The space that was originally occupied by the Green Paulownia Seedling had expanded again, taking up only one sixth of his Sea of Knowledge. This happened after the absorption of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, which had initially occupied about a quarter of the space.


    Chen Mobai checked his data and found that the space of his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already reached the level of cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    To put it in other words, when he was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, due to the refining of the entire Bimu Spirit Heart to open up the Purple Mansion, he was able to enhance his Divine Sense to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Right now, he only expanded the container of the Purple Mansion, and his Divine Sense has not been upgraded to the extreme.


    But soon, Chen Mobai picked a flower fruit from his Divine Wood Bimu WuTong which has started Divine Consciousness Forming, and divided his mind into thoughts and planted it on the other side of the Purple Mansion.


    The drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew fell, and a tender shoot slowly sprouted.


    Once this Green Paulownia Seedling grows up, he can repeat the process of integrating the divine self into the whole to greatly increase his Divine Sense.


    Just as expected, the two batches of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu this time contained no Danless Poison. He handed them over to Chen Mobai with a sigh of relief, stating that if he failed again this time, he would have a Heart Demon even if he were to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Chen Mobai believed that Wang Xingyu¡¯s attitude was wrong. The alchemists in the Tianhe Realm always boldly claimed that the employer should bear all the losses of the failed alchemy, and if they succeeded, they would take another 20-30% as refining fees.


    However, because of this, the alchemists in the Tianhe Realm were bolder and braver than one another.


    They dared to refine any pill without worrying about the amount of Danless Poison. As long as it did not kill people, it was considered to have fulfilled the commission and the alchemy was successful.


    At Xiao Nanshan, if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s intervention, those spiritual wines experimented by Zhuo Ming and the two disciples from the Alchemy Section would have been sold in their shop by his little disciple.


    With much persuasion, stern looks and some scolding, Zhuo Ming finally felt a bit reluctant to feed these spiritual wines to the spirit mice bought by Liu Wenbo from the Spirit Beast Section.


    After this incident, Chen Mobai set a rule.


    All newly produced spiritual wines needed to be fed to spirit mice for over a year to confirm their safety before they could be sold in his shop in the Divine Wood City.


    Although Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t understand, the master in the Tianhe Realm is equivalent to heaven, and they could only obey the orders.


    After dealing with this matter, Chen Mobai was concerned about the issue of the Void Dark Stone Vein, but this was kept top secret in the Divine Wood Sect, so he had to visit Yan Jinye.


    As expected, Yan Jinye knew some inside information. After all, she was the discoverer of Lonely Spirit Ridge, and also the direct lineage of Master Zhou. Many things were not hidden from her.


    ¡°Although the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge is not as good as the one in the Five Elements Sect, it greatly surpasses the one in Shake Mountain. It should be a small to medium mine. Master Zhou even took the time to visit personally.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more curious.


    ¡°Is the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge already under excavation now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t really know about this. Master Zhou is paying great attention to this matter and Hall Master Reward Virtue is personally in charge. However, many elders of the Foundation Establishment Stage in our Divine Wood Sect have broken away from the Five Elements Sect. There are probably many hidden spies from the other realms. If there is too much movement, it simply cannot be concealed. It should be the head of the Spirit Vein Section leading a few trusted people to mine on a small scale.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    This matter could be told to him, which shows that within the Divine Wood Sect, he was truly considered as one of their own.


    However, this is understandable. After all, his origin is clear.


    From Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, he had been advancing all the way under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect, coupled with his extraordinary talent, at least in the future, he would be invincible under the Gold Core Realm, so the upper echelons of the sect already regard him as one of the future helmsman.


    After chatting with Yan Jinye for a while and learning the information he wanted, Chen Mobai bid farewell and left.


    After cultivating the Divine Slash, his cultivation had no short-term goals.


    Apart from practicing spells daily, he was using Spirit Stones to propel the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Sometimes, he really thought about directly taking the three treasures for Foundation Establishment and activating the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment.


    He didn¡¯t know if he had the opportunity to successfully cultivate his foundation through enlightenment.


    Just when Chen Mobai was bored enough to start using the Map of Treasures to compare all the Dead Seal Device Balls he had seen, Hua Zijing finally sent him a message.


    The big people of the fairy gate had arrived.


    This meant that this year¡¯s Crimson City Skyhole University League Exchange Conference had finally begun.

    ¡°You actually look quite impressive in this outfit.¡±


    In the three-story villa of the Student Union, in the president¡¯s office on the third floor, with Hua Zijing¡¯s help, Chen Mobai put on the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe that the Artifact Refining Department had urgently woven during this period.


    Since he was often in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai usually dressed in ancient style, and his black hair had long been grown out.


    Paired with this black bottom red stripe wide sleeve robe, he looked like the villainous young masters in ancient dramas. His entire person was elegant and solemn within his elegance, but these two contrasting temperaments perfectly merged into one in him, making the eyes of Hua Zijing, who was used to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s powerful bearing, light up.


    This person looks kind of good in formal wear!

 Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_1

    Chapter 345: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_1


    The important figure from the Immortal Sect was named Gongye Zhixu.


    He was one of the two Vice Hall Masters of the Xianwu Hall, and he may even become the Lord of the Immortal Sect in the future.


    The overall system of the Immortal Sect was interesting.


    Among the three Halls, the Xianwu Hall with general management of everything was the highest institution of the Immortal Sect.


    The Master of the Xianwu Hall was known as the Lord of the Immortal Sect.


    Therefore, the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall could be considered the most important person in the Immortal Sect, second only to the three Hall Masters.


    Gongye Zhixu was born in the Primordial Elemental Academy and his cultivation level was Gold Core. He was not even two hundred years old, and was at the peak of his youth. If he succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, it was highly probable that he could succeed the present Xianwu Hall Master, who was nearing retirement at nearly continuous eight hundred years of age.


    Unfortunately, in a resource-poor place like Deyuan Star, achieving Nascent Soul Formation could be described as extremely difficult.


    Gongye Zhixu was a prodigy and, because the Primordial Elemental Academy was near his home, gave up the opportunity to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    At thirty-three, he reached Perfection of Foundation Establishment. To acquire resources for Core Formation, he joined Xianwu Hall. After moving between various departments and serving people at the grassroots level for sixty years, he finally received a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, and achieved Core Formation with one attempt.


    However, after Core Formation there was still Nascent Soul Formation.


    In Immortal Sect, the three kinds of Infant Forming Spirit Medicines¡ªInfant-Feeding Elixir, Infant-Accumulating Elixir, and Infant-Transforming Elixir¡ªwere extremely valuable, and could not be bought using Good Deed Points, thus making them invaluable treasures.


    The orthodox way to acquire them was to serve the people; if your governance was recognized by the Immortal Sect, then you could procure the Infant Forming Spirit Medicines from the treasury of the Immortal Sect.


    Gongye Zhixu was a practitioner of this orthodox path.


    However, he gradually realized that there wasn¡¯t enough time.


    Gold Core had a lifespan of eight Jiazi, which was 480 years. Establishing a nascent soul before the decline from peak vigor would undoubtedly have the highest success rate.


    Gongye Zhixu had already passed his two hundredth birthday. Although he had many longevity elixirs, the time left for Nascent Soul Formation was at most only a hundred years.


    Despite serving the Immortal Sect for over a hundred years, he had only obtained an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    The remaining two types of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine weren¡¯t achievable in time if he continued to pursue the orthodox way.


    Albeit in the history of the Immortal Sect, there had been the rare fortunate ones who succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation with just an Infant-Feeding Elixir, Gongye Zhixu still wanted to be more prepared.


    Five years ago, fluctuations began in the ¡°Realm Gate¡±, the supreme treasure of the Immortal Sect heritage.


    This indicated that a different world was approaching Deyuan Star.


    Therefore, after consulting with the three Hall Masters, Gongye Zhixu began preparing for a conquest war.


    The Immortal Sect didn¡¯t have enough resources to refine the Infant-Accumulating Elixir and the Infant-Transforming Elixir, hence they had to pin their hopes on the newly discovered parallel world.


    Regrettably, although the ¡°Realm Gate¡± had detected the existence of the different world, the passage could not yet be opened due to the vast distance between the two realms.


    According to the calculations by the Astral Observation Academy, it would likely take a century for the two realms to draw close.


    A century was precisely the last peak period for Gongye Zhixu.


    Not only him, many Gold Core cultivators within the Opening Origin Hall who were stuck due to the lack of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, also saw this as an opportunity to go further.


    Even a few Nascent Soul rankers sitting at the peak of the Immortal Sect had been awakened by the fluctuations of the Realm Gate.


    After all, above the Nascent Soul, there was the realm of Divinity Transformation.


    Everyone wanted to ascend further.


    However, regarding the strength of the different world caught by the Realm Gate, it was necessary to confirm it as soon as possible before the two realms drew close.


    If it was excessively powerful, the Immortal Sect could only conceal its trace and hope to remain undiscovered.


    If it had average power and sufficient resources, then they would certainly wage a conquest war.


    So, five years ago, the peaceful Immortal Sect started to consciously train the combat consciousness of the next generation.


    Over these years, Gongye Zhixu had gathered the best prodigies from hundreds of fields within the Immortal Sect to reopen the closed Little Red Sky in preparation for this event.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s team departed for Crimson City Cave, he specifically visited Che Yucheng, who told him about the main policy directions of the Immortal Sect in recent years.


    When he heard terms such as ¡®different world¡¯, ¡®Realm Gate¡¯, and ¡®capture¡¯, there was an undeniable shock in his eyes and expression.


    However, it was normal for anyone to be more stunned than Chen Mobai when exposed to these secrets, so Che Yucheng didn¡¯t take any notice.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help wondering, would the different world captured by the Realm Gate happen to be the ¡°Tianhe Realm¡±?


    If so, hadn¡¯t he successfully infiltrated in advance?


    Nevertheless, he had done quite well in Tianhe Realm. If a war between the two realms was forthcoming, wouldn¡¯t all his efforts in these years be in vain?


    Additionally, there were a few monks who had ascended in Tianhe Realm before, so no one knew if there was any connection between the lower and upper realms.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If those ascended monks intervened at the critical moment of the conquest of a new world, the Immortal Sect might suffer greatly.


    He needed to find a way to ascertain whether the world caught by the Realm Gate was the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°What is Little Red Sky?¡±


    His thoughts and words were completely contradictory. In order to prevent Che Yucheng from noticing his anomalies, Chen Mobai asked another question he was interested in.


    ¡°It¡¯s a virtual reality world, a masterpiece of the first generation of Immortal Sect¡¯s founder when he was Cultivating Void. You can project your power into it. While experiencing various trials, you can also interact and practice against each other to enhance your combat awareness and ability.¡±

 Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_2

    Chapter 346: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_2


    ¡°Does the Immortal Sect have this kind of thing? Why didn¡¯t they take it out before?¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed great confusion about this.


    ¡°This object is equivalent to a rank-6 spiritual treasure, once activated it consumes huge amounts of nature¡¯s spiritual energy every moment. It¡¯s only before wars of the scale of world creation that the Immortal Sect would power it up, using it to enhance the overall magical duel level of the sect.¡±


    Che Yucheng, as an experienced Gold Core of the Immortal Sect, once acting as a revolving commissioner of the Open Yuan Hall, is one of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect himself.


    So he is very clear about Gongye Zhixu, Little Red Sky, and the Realm Door.


    When his disciple, Chen Mobai came to ask, he did not hide anything, but told him everything he knew.


    ¡°After Little Red Sky is activated, the spiritual energy supplied to the masses of the Immortal Sect would be lowered by a rank, but the most pitiable is our Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng sighed, he had already received the notice that the opening of Rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain was prohibited from now on.


    Because operating Little Red Sky requires a large amount of nature¡¯s spiritual energy, and only the energy from the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain, among the four rank-5 Spirit Veins of the Immortal Sect, meets its requirements.


    So when he heard that Gongye Zhixu was coming, he had already guessed this point.


    But when he received the formal document from the Immortal Sect, Che Yucheng still felt a little heavy-hearted.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked indignant.


    But he immediately thought that Rank-5 Spirit Vein wouldn¡¯t be available for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to use anyway, so he simply lambasted the Immortal Sect verbally.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the Dean object to it?¡±


    The rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain undoubtedly belongs to the Dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If he, as a Nascent Soul elder, dissent, the Immortal Sect presumably would not forcibly requisition the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°The dean is already past half his lifespan, he may have a chance of Divinity Transformation by initiating the opening of the world. Although slim, it¡¯s still higher than vainly waiting for the ephemeral Shocking God Sonata.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai seemed to understand.


    It turns out the Dean also supports this war of opening the world, no wonder when Gongye Zhixu requisitioned the rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain, he didn¡¯t explicitly show any disapproval.


    ¡°What do I need to do within Little Red Sky?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, Che Yucheng nodded, laying down a requirement for him.


    ¡°In Little Red Sky, the magic duel shows rankings. As the current premier representative of our Dance Tool Dao Academy, you can only aim to be number one.¡±


    ¡°Master, I won¡¯t say I don¡¯t have confidence in myself, but after all I¡¯ve only just started my Foundation Establishment, I might be able to beat Zuo Qiushi, but if I encounter Lan Haitian or a Gold Core and Nascent Soul, even ten of me together wouldn¡¯t be their match.¡±


    Chen Mobai grimaced, indicating his inability to achieve the task.


    ¡°Rest assured, Little Red Sky has a perfect matching system, you will only encounter opponents of similar levels, it won¡¯t let you challenge levels above yours.¡±


    ¡°That means, the strongest opponent matched to me would be at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, isn¡¯t that bullying!¡±


    Chen Mobai widened his eyes, looking utterly incredulous.


    It¡¯s not that he wanted to brag.


    He couldn¡¯t believe that there is any third-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Immortal Sect who can withstand his sword!


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Of course, if your number of victories is too many, Little Red Sky will raise your hidden score, and you might encounter opponents from the fourth to sixth stages of Foundation Establishment. However, at this point even if you lose, you would have already brought honor to our Daoist Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng knows the magical duel capabilities of his disciple. Under the Sword Rainbow Fission, he stands undefeated across stages of early Foundation Establishment.


    It indeed seems a bit like bullying.


    But in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, there are indeed some extraordinarily talented figures with deep foundations that his Sword Light might not necessarily overcome.


    But just as Che Yucheng said, as long as Chen Mobai can show his usual strength, even if he loses to someone from the sixth stage of Foundation Establishment, he would have already brought honor to the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Master, I feel that there is no challenge in facing opponents below the seventh stage of Foundation Establishment, which is not conducive to refining my skills in magical duel. And since I became the student council president, part of it is for the purpose of interacting and learning from the number ones of the other three major Daoist Academies, now that the realm separates us, I feel a bit regretful about not being able to test myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai said something that left Che Yucheng speechless.


    ¡°First, beat all the opponents at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, and besides, after they enter Little Red Sky, they might not have time to bother with you.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words left Chen Mobai very puzzled.


    But when he arrived at the Crimson Sky Cave with Hua Zijing and the other student council members, he immediately understood the reason.


    On the gigantic screen in the center of the cave¡¯s main square, nine separate panels were displayed. Some showed rankings, while others showed magic duels taking place in the Little Red Sky.


    In the center, the screen was divided into three panels that displayed the chiefs from the three major Daoist Academies.


    In the upper right corner of the tri-screen magic duel displays, a number of 100+ in matching was shown.


    This meant that at least three hundred cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage who got the internal test quota had initiated ranked challenges against the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies.


    In this, no one knew how many were at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. It was estimated that there were also cultivators at the perfection of the Fake Core Realm.


    Everyone seeks fame.


    Challenging the chiefs of the four major Daoist Academies is no doubt the most attention-grabbing. If one could defeat them, it would boast their superiority and even cast doubts on the worthiness of the four great Daoist Academies.


    No wonder Che Yucheng said the other three chiefs of the Daoist Academies did not have the time to acknowledge him, because there were just too many people lining up to challenge them.


    ¡°Mobai, you¡¯re finally here?¡±


    Bian Yiqing, Jiang Yuyuan, and Meng Huang came over. When they saw him, they visibly sighed in relief.


    Gongye Zhixu had arrived. Bian Yiqing led Meng Huang and other artists to perform at the grand theatre as a welcoming gesture. Chen Mobai was not interested in this event and had stayed home in quiet cultivation.


    When Little Red Sky opened, the chiefs of the other three major Daoist Academies were present and were each given a place by Gongye Zhixu on the spot.


    The three leading figures did not shrink away and had already begun to face the large-scale multiplayer assault.


    As the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Yiqing received twenty places from Gongye Zhixu.


    Many from the student council had entered, including Zuo Qiushi who had already graduated and managed to get a place.


    However, whether they have it or not doesn¡¯t matter, because the only academy left from the Four Daoist Academies was the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Because Chen Mobai didn¡¯t show up yesterday, and someone with ulterior motives found out that he had just reached the first level of Foundation Establishment last year, whispers had already begun to circulate.


    Fear of war, retreat, cowardice, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s five-thousand-year reputation is going to be ruined by his hands¡­


    Hua Zijing selectively mentioned some rumors, originally hoping to stimulate Chen Mobai, but he remained completely unmoved.


    Compared to the comments he used to receive online, these words seemed quite childish.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Senior Zuo Qiu also enter? How has he performed?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t rush to enter the Little Red Sky but instead asked about Zuo Qiushi¡¯s performance.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, he competed in five rounds, with three wins and two losses, barely maintaining a positive record.¡±


    Hua Zijing was absolutely loyal to her previous leader. Not only did she give Zuo Qiushi¡¯s internal test account, but she also kept a close eye on his performance since he entered Little Red Sky.


    As soon as Chen Mobai asked, she knew everything.


    Who he fought against, which level of Foundation Establishment they were, what cultivation methods they were good at, reasons for winning or losing, etc., she explained everything in precise detail.


    ¡°Alas, it¡¯s good that he fled quickly. Otherwise, as the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, this performance would not be presentable, losing the majesty of our academy.¡±


    Hua Zijing was enthusiastically talking when she heard Chen Mobai¡¯s comment, her complexion changed from pale to a bluish-white.


    Ming Yu, Shen Renyou, and other student council members who were nearby looked elsewhere, pretending not to hear.


    Chen Mobai dared to talk like this, they didn¡¯t dare to respond.


    However, in their hearts, the student council members agreed with Chen Mobai¡¯s comment.


    After all, the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies have fought ten battles since yesterday, every fight ending with a crushing victory. Their performance was extremely satisfying.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Compared to them, Zuo Qiushi¡¯s performance was indeed a bit embarrassing.


    ¡°Chairman, why don¡¯t you give it a try? After all, as the current Chief, the academy needs you to honor us!¡±


    By the time Hua Zijing said the last two words, her teeth were gritting.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was full of determination.


    ¡°Defending the honor of the academy is a duty we cannot decline.¡±

 Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: Chapter 276: Orthodoxy of Crimson City in Pure Yang_1

    Chapter 347: Chapter 276: Orthodoxy of Crimson City in Pure Yang_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s righteous demeanor left officials like Hua Zijing from the student council feeling ashamed.


    Even Bian Yiqing, the veteran musical dao grandmaster, was extremely impressed.


    The deep sense of proud honor that this young man had for the Dance Tool Dao Academy made him, as a teacher, feel a bit inferior.


    Behind Bian Yiqing, Meng Huang looked at Chen Mobai with traces of resentment in her eyes. However, upon hearing his words, she couldn¡¯t help but think that maybe it was the immense pressure of carrying the honor of the Daoist Academy that made him give up on their romance.


    ¡°Quick, look, Daoist Mentor Ling lost.¡±


    At that moment, whispers swept across the square.


    Chen Mobai and the others immediately looked up at the big screen. In the center grid, representing the top student of the Repairing Heaven Institute, daoist mentor Ling took a hit to the chest and slowly faded away, his brow furrowed.


    In magic duels within Little Red Sky, because both sides are projections, there¡¯s no need to worry about casualties, and one can freely use their most powerful and ruthless spells.


    Of course, it¡¯s limited to spells.


    Because magic artifacts from the outside world cannot be brought into the illusory world of Little Red Sky.


    ¡°It seems that there are still capable people in Academies from other Immortal Sects. And here I thought that I would only be able to bestow defeat on the top students from the three great Daoist Academies after my arrival.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words, unveiled, immediately drew the attention of the rest of the academy¡¯s students in the square.


    Many wanted to know who possessed such arrogance to speak such words.


    But when they saw a youth surrounded by members of the student council, dressed in the red and black robe of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, they all couldn¡¯t help but gasped in shock.


    ¡°The last top student from the Four Daoist Academies has finally appeared.¡±


    ¡°Is it Zuo Qiushi?¡±


    ¡°Zuo Qiushi is a thing of the past. The newly appointed top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a newcomer who has only been enrolled for five years and is at the foundation establishment stage.¡±


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be a disaster? After all, when Little Red Sky opened in our Crimson City, without Zuo Qiushi, won¡¯t the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as the local snake, be dominated by the top students from the other three great Daoist Academies?¡±


    ¡°What do you know? Even though Zuo Qiushi graduated, he entered Little Red Sky just yesterday. Without the aid of the Co-participation Legal Device, he¡¯s merely a middle-grade foundation establishment cultivator.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s even worse, there¡¯s not even an excuse.¡±


    Hearing the words of the bystander, veins bulged on Hua Zijing¡¯s snow-white forehead.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she represented the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold back her rebuttal on the spot.


    Didn¡¯t they see that the top student from the Repairing Heaven Institute just lost?


    It was normal for former president Zuo Qiu to lose.


    ¡°What is the background of this person?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai pointed at the person who defeated Daoist Instructor Ling with great interest. The man wore a calm expression, his sharp eyes under his unibrow were full of unprecedented confidence.


    Indeed, anyone who faced down the top student from the Repairing Heaven Institute and defeated them in front of an audience would unquestionably feel a sense of supreme honor.


    And this honor could bring the winner confidence that surpassed everything.


    ¡°He¡¯s the top student from the Pure Yang Academy seven years back, Sima Xingyu.¡±


    The one who answered him was Ming Yu.


    ¡°You know him?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised.


    ¡°Seven years ago, I had just joined the student council. I accompanied the then-president to that term¡¯s exchange meet. This Sima Xingyu was already shining brightly, only falling short of the top students from the Four Daoist Academies at that time.¡±


    Listening to Ming Yu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    The screen showed Sima Xingyu¡¯s cultivation level: eight layers of Foundation Establishment.


    This person was also based on Pure Yang Scroll and was a sword cultivator. He should be practicing ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Secret,¡± which is considered second only to the Immortal Sect¡¯s sword secret.


    Daoist Instructor Ling had just broken through to the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment stage this year. Although he was already dazzling as the top student of the Repairing Heaven Institute, it was understandable that he was defeated facing Sima Xingyu, who had higher cultivation and stronger cultivation techniques.


    ¡°Taishi Shu also lost.¡±


    At this moment, another focal point, the top student of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, a plain-looking but elegantly mannered young girl, looked at her right arm, which had been chopped off at the elbow, in disbelief.


    Across from her was a man with a bald, eyebrow-less head and a red face covered in wiry facial hair.


    With a look of arrogance, he stood tall in mid-air, made a chopping motion with his don juan sword, and Taishi Shu¡¯s Yuan Magnet force field completely collapsed under the extremely overbearing Yuan Yang Sword Qi. She was split in two.


    Her defeat was even more complete than Daoist Instructor Ling¡¯s.


    After defeating Taishi Shu, the bearded bald man laughed boastfully, basking in arrogance.


    ¡°Who is this mighty warrior?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with interest.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t met him, but I heard legends about him when I was a kid. If my memory serves me right, he should be the top student from the Pure Yang Academy twenty years ago, known as ¡®Xiahou Weihuan of the Crimson Sword¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan¡­ a good name.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered, and looked at Xiahou Weihuan, now at the center of the screen, with admiration.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The top-left corner of the screen displayed his cultivation level: ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    However, based on what Chen Mobai saw just now when he defeated Taishi Shu, this man seemed to have already achieved the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Although being at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment during one¡¯s term as a top student of a Daoist Academy is already an extraordinary achievement.


    But when faced with the people from Pure Yang Academy who bullied the weak, they could only swallow their defeat.


    After all, with the combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret, even in the Four Daoist Academies, it would be considered top-tier.

 Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Chapter 276 Crimson City Orthodoxy in Pure Yang_2

    Chapter 348: Chapter 276 Crimson City Orthodoxy in Pure Yang_2


    ¡°So, the only one left is Zong Zi of Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he turned to look at the chief student idol of the academy, taking up the gazes of everyone on the big screen in the square.


    His opponent was from Pure Yang Academy as well, but Zong Zi¡¯s cultivation technique, the Spring Divine Cultivation, was known for its endurance. Even if his opponent¡¯s realm surpassed his, they were unable to finish the battle quickly.


    This resulted in a stalemate.


    Despite this, the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies lost face in front of Pure Yang Academy, forfeiting their previously invincible aura.


    In a flash, everyone in the Thirty-Six Celestial Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, who were witnessing the grand opening of Little Red Sky, were lost in vigorous discussion.


    At this moment, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s comment on the big screen caused many people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy to blush with shame.


    He said: ¡°The orthodox lineage of Crimson City is in Pure Yang!¡±


    The look of admiration Chen Mobai had previously given him turned into dislike.


    ¡°Nice name, but unfortunate character.¡±


    After this remark filled with disgust, Chen Mobai asked Bian Yiqing how he could join Little Red Sky.


    ¡°I have twenty places gifted by Gongye Zhixu, and I¡¯ve already registered you as chief.¡±


    Bian Yiqing said this, asking Chen Mobai to take out his student badge for activation.


    ¡°Little Red Sky has just launched and is currently in its testing phase. Everyone entering will have their real names verified. Once you¡¯re in there, like them, you will have the status of Dance Tool Daoist Academy Chief. You¡¯ll be the target of everyone¡¯s enmity.¡±


    After the activation, there was a worrying look in Bian Yiqing¡¯s eyes.


    The former unbeatable chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies had already suffered two losses and one draw. And this was only because Little Red Sky just started open sessions for the Daoist Academies.


    If access to Little Red Sky was granted to everyone within the Thirty-Six Celestial Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed lands, countless late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators might emerge from universities and various organizations.


    In order to prove themselves and gain fame, the first opponents these people would choose to challenge would surely be the chiefs of the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage won¡¯t be matched with me.¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared completely unfazed.


    Upon hearing his words, Bian Yiqing was momentarily shocked before finally understanding the matchmaking mechanism of Little Red Sky. An understanding glow appeared on his face,


    Soon, though, he felt a twinge of annoyance.


    Among the Four Major Daoist Academies, the chief of their Dance Tool Daoist Academy was not a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If this got out, it would be quite embarrassing.


    If Zuo Qiushi hadn¡¯t graduated yet¡­


    The moment this thought crossed Bian Yiqing¡¯s mind, he considered how Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mediocre performance due to his lack of Magic Artifacts would have looked had he projected himself into the event. He then felt that having Chen Mobai as chief wasn¡¯t so bad after all.


    After all, Chen Mobai could easily sweep the ranks of early to mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    As long as he wasn¡¯t matched with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and he didn¡¯t lose, he would always have an excuse.


    While Bian Yiqing was thinking, Chen Mobai had already completed his projection.


    He was physically standing in the square of Crimson City, but felt as if his senses had split in two. It was as if another version of himself had entered a dream. Although he couldn¡¯t feel his physical body, he could use any cultivation technique or spell he had learned.


    Not long after his projection, the middle screen that had gone dark due to Ling Daoshi¡¯s loss suddenly displayed an image of Chen Mobai dressed in the Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s Red and Black Robe.


    The top right corner displayed his identification and basic information.


    [Certified incumbent Chief of Dance Tool Daoist Academy!]


    [Foundation Establishment First Level!]


    This was like a lighthouse in the night or a star in the dark, instantly capturing the attention of all the early and middle-stage Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who had projected themselves into Little Red Sky, but had not been matched due to insufficient cultivation levels.


    In a flash, Hua Zijing noticed the matching number at the upper right corner of the screen, which was initially zero, skyrocket to over 100, similar to the other three chiefs of the major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Did Dance Tool Daoist Academy run out of people? They¡¯ve sent someone who is barely in the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    ¡°Having a Rank-5 Spirit Vein conscripted by the celestial flower shrine, they might actually be surpassed by Pure Yang Academy and fall out of the top four.¡±


    ¡°I wonder who the first lucky person is?¡±


    The lively discussions among the spectators in the square filled Meng Huang with mixed feelings. She was angry at the audience¡¯s disregard for Chen Mobai, yet hoped he would embarrass himself, punishing the jerk who had toyed with her feelings.


    At this time, Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy, hailed for his substantial health and spiritual power, managed to grind down his opponent from Pure Yang Academy, emerging as the only chief with a flawless record.


    Following this magic duel, Zong Zi decided against matching with another opponent, instead choosing to exit Little Red Sky.


    Unlike the ten opponents who were easily defeated yesterday, today¡¯s were obviously prepared.


    He needed to carefully consider his tactics and strategies to maintain his unbeaten record.


    Thus, within the Little Red Sky, only one chief of the Daoist Academy remained.


    Chen Mobai.


    In the dormitory of Starlight Institute, Wanyu, who was watching the highlight reel of Little Red Sky with her roommates, blushed slightly at the sight of Chen Mobai.


    [He actually became the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.]


    Soon, under the gaze of cultivators from all over the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai clicked the match button in the top right corner.


    A flash of fire flickered, and the first lucky one appeared in front of everyone.


    Looking at this opponent, Chen Mobai showed a surprised expression.


    It was actually someone he had seen before.


    ¡°It¡¯s me! Hahaha, heaven has eyes, I didn¡¯t expect to have this opportunity to inflict the most painful defeat on you, the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, in front of billions of beings in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    With a buzz cut, black vest and pants, revealing muscular arms and shoulders, along with tattoos, the whole person looked extremely strong and dangerous.


    ¡°Congratulations, lucky one, what¡¯s your name again, Bra?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Wen Xiong!¡±


    The buzz-cut youth was Wen Xiong, who was slapped in the face by Chen Mobai on the train using the admission letter from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. He had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, considering that he was a student of Pure Yang Academy, his talent must be excellent. It¡¯s understandable that he could reach Foundation Establishment stage after five years.


    ¡°Alright, I remembered. After all, you will be the first to be defeated by me in the Little Red Sky. Your name will be remembered by history, along with my legend.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai raised his right hand.


    Actually, he could use Divine Slash to silently crush Wen Xiong¡¯s divine sense, but that would lack sound and visual effects.


    What was he here for?


    He was here to make his name known all over the world and restore the glory of the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Every Magic Duel should not only be won cleanly, but also astonish all spectators.


    So that everyone knows that Chen Mobai, the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is invincible in the early and mid Foundation Establishment stages!


    ¡°Just be stubborn, I will turn you into ashes under the Burn Heaven Great Method!¡±


    But Wen Xiong was even more confident in himself. Either the whole Pure Yang Academy had already decided to replace the Dance Tool Dao Academy, or he just didn¡¯t like Chen Mobai and wanted to defeat him in front of the public to wash away his shame from his Heart Demon.


    ¡°Die! Burn Heaven¡­¡±


    Wen Xiong¡¯s words were contemptuous, but his actions were very serious. He used his most powerful Sky-burning Linghuo from the start.


    Then, he only saw a brilliant deep purple sword light.


    When the sword light slashed across, his avatar in Little Red Sky turned into ashes.


    He was unable to withstand even a single blow!


    How is this possible?


    Wen Xiong, standing on the other side of the square, widened his eyes in disbelief.


    When Wanyu from Starlight Institute saw this, she clenched her small, snowy white fist in victory.


    At this time, Chen Mobai had clicked the match button again.


    The second opponent had arrived.


    The first impression is always the most impactful.

    For this opponent, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even bother to ask his name.


    As the opponent was about to speak, he was met with a brilliant deep purple sword light.


    Another one-shot!


    After seeing the second opponent turn into ashes, the entire Immortal Gate was stunned.


    ¡°Those who can withstand my single blow may leave their names.¡±

 Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Chapter 277: Superior Tactics_1

    Chapter 349: Chapter 277: Superior Tactics_1


    A sword.


    A sword.


    Still a sword.


    After twenty battles, Chen Mobai left Little Red Sky with an indifferent expression on his face.


    Among the true cultivators who paired up with him for the Foundation Establishment, some were from the two hundred and twenty houses, some were from the Top Ten Academies, and there was even one from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Yet, none of them could withstand his strike.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at the same time tomorrow.¡±


    After saying this sentence, Chen Mobai turned and left the square.


    The dozens of students in the student council immediately followed.


    Since half of them were wearing the Daoist Academy¡¯s red and black long robes, they looked like a red and black sunset cloud when walking together, exerting an incomparable oppressive feeling.


    ¡°Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s red and black robe, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw this scene.¡±


    On the rooftop of a building to the right of the square, a middle-aged man with gray-black hair and a kind face stroked his long beard, expressing his nostalgia.


    He watched the bustling crowd on the street below involuntarily part to make way for the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s students.


    ¡°This kid is not bad.¡±


    Across from him sat an old man dressed in the red and black robe of Dance Tool Dao Academy. A beautiful woman dressed as a court lady was diligently making tea for the two of them.


    The middle-aged man was none other than the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, Gongye Zhixu.


    And the old man was the Cave Master of Crimson City, Hong Mengkui, who also graduated from Dance Tool Dao Academy and had Golden Core Cultivation. Although he was older, he was of the same generation as Che Yucheng.


    ¡°What do you think of Pure Yang Academy¡¯s actions?¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai leave, Gongye Zhixu asked a question.


    ¡°Before wanting something, there is always some fuss.¡±


    After saying these words, Hong Mengkui took a sip of his tea, squinting his eyes as if to savour the taste.


    ¡°How will you handle it?¡±


    The question from Gongye Zhixu made Hong Mengkui look at him in surprise.


    ¡°Do you still care about such trivial matters?¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu has been looking for me.¡±


    The current principal of Pure Yang Academy is none other than Nangong Xuanyu, who is reputed to be the number one person of the Golden Core Cultivation.


    Once relying on the Pure Yang Scroll and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, he had challenged Qing Ping, a Nascent Soul master, and although he lost, he held his ground.


    Many people said that if Nangong Xuanyu were to use the ¡°Primordial Yang Sword¡±, even a Nascent Soul master might fall under his sword.


    ¡°Is he preparing for Nascent Soul Formation?¡±


    Gongye Zhixu barely mentioned it, and Hong Mengkui immediately understood the implied meaning.


    ¡°If the realm gate wasn¡¯t fluctuating, he might have already closed himself off to the outside world.¡±


    Resources on the Earth Elemental Star were scarce. Gongye Zhixu, who was second only to the top three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, only had one infant forming spiritual medicine. Although Nangong Xuanyu was the principal of Pure Yang Academy, if he sought to form a nascent soul, he could only rely on his brute strength.


    However, the fluctuation of the realm gate changed everything.


    After all, the approaching foreign world contained resources that no one knew the extent of.


    If there were no other choices, Nangong Xuanyu, as the top cultivator of the Golden Core, naturally had to close himself off to seek the slightest chance of forming a nascent soul.


    If there is hope now, who would be willing to risk their life to form a nascent soul?


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try to dissuade the chiefs of the Dance Tool Dao Academy who have already graduated?¡±


    Since Gongye Zhixu had spoken to this extent, although Hong Mengkui was a bit unhappy, he had to give him face.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After finishing his greetings, Gongye Zhixu laughed and left.


    ¡°Master, if we don¡¯t take action, I fear that none of the true cultivators in the Daoist Academy will be able to match Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    The beautiful woman in court lady attire, who had been diligently making tea, raised her delicate chin after only Hong Mengkui was left, frowned slightly, and handed him a new cup of tea with her snow-white hands.


    ¡°Let him show off for a while.¡±


    ¡°Master, the millennium reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy can¡¯t be ruined in our hands.¡±


    The beautiful woman in the court lady outfit was a bit dissatisfied. She pouted her mouth and poured out the tea leaves from the pot.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I just took a look, and this year¡¯s chief has got some ability. I estimate he could set an unprecedented record.¡±


    Hong Mengkui thought of the sword that Chen Mobai had used to beat twenty people earlier.


    With his discerning eye, he naturally saw through Chen Mobai¡¯s abilities at a glance.


    The Sword Rainbow Fission could resist even the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and the protective mechanism of the realm in Little Red Sky would only match Chen Mobai, who is at the first level of Foundation Establishment, with opponents up to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment.


    Frankly speaking, Hong Mengkui felt that Che Yucheng had bullied people by letting Chen Mobai, his disciple, fight.


    However, acting hypocritically had always been Che Yucheng¡¯s style.


    He thought that Che Yucheng would become less cunning with age, but it turned out that it¡¯s difficult to change one¡¯s nature. He was still as devious as ever.


    But it was precisely because of this that Hong Mengkui agreed to Gongye Zhixu.


    Because he knows Che Yucheng¡¯s style of doing things, after Xiahou Weihuan shouted ¡°Crimson City¡¯s orthodox is in Pure Yang¡±, there were at least three batches of obvious or hidden means about to be deployed.


    From now on, we just sit and drink tea, watching how your master suppresses Pure Yang Academy.¡±

    The next day.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bring a large group of people from the student council out.


    Apart from him not liking being surrounded by people, it was also because after activation, he could project himself into Little Red Sky from any location covered by the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain through his mobile phone.


    The same time, the same result.


    Facing the beautiful female student in front of him, he regretfully had to uphold his persona of defeating the enemy with one sword strike.

 Chapter 350 - Chapter 350: Chapter 277 Superior Tactics_2

    Chapter 350: Chapter 277 Superior Tactics_2


    What a pity, Chen Mobai was quite curious about the name of this senior sister from the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    But even when he went easy on her, the moment she saw him entering the match, she seemed to have lost all her fighting spirit.


    With just one slash of his sword, she only put up a symbolic shield before turning into ashes.


    This beautiful senior sister with her fair, snowy complexion seemed to be quite popular among some groups. After defeating twenty opponents one day, Chen Mobai searched online for a while and found many people criticizing him for his lack of mercy or affection towards women.


    Chen Mobai immediately logged into his second account and began to troll under the post.


    The protectors of the Flower, who were initially calming down, started criticizing the Dance Tool Daoist Academy as being full of rude people under his lead.


    While the rhythm was flying high, his experience kept climbing step by step.


    Very soon, Chen Mobai had already completed a terrifying record of consecutive victories in the Little Red Sky in just five days.


    A hundred percent win rate wasn¡¯t unheard of.


    Before Chen Mobai, Yuan Yang had left a record of a hundred percent wins in the Little Red Sky with 119 fights.


    In the 120th fight, Yuan Yang, who was then only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, was defeated by a Cultivator at the Fake Pill stage from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    Could Chen Mobai break this record?


    If someone had proposed this topic five days ago, even the students of the Dance Tools Dao Academy would have ridiculed it.


    119 fights with a 100% win rate.


    If Yuan Yang were to be reborn, even he would probably not be able to do it.


    But today, everyone is looking forward to this day.


    ¡°You were sent to break the things that the Pure Yang Academy takes pride in, one by one. That is one of the reasons I sent you out,¡± Che Yucheng said to Chen Mobai in the office in the No. 1 building of the Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Teacher, did you know from the start that the Pure Yang Academy wanted to challenge the status of our Dance Tools Dao Academy?¡± Chen Mobai asked in surprise, thinking that he was able to become the student council president just because of a series of fortunate accidents ¨C an incident involving Zuo Qiushi wanting to escape, and a teacher who just happened to be the director of academic affairs.


    ¡°More or less,¡± answered Che Yucheng. ¡°The fluctuation of the gates between worlds means that people need to be sent to investigate the situation before an official transition between the two worlds.¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu is the closest to Nascent Soul Formation, he certainly will not miss this opportunity. Gongye Zhixu, who he gets along with, would also follow.¡±


    ¡°As long as the Pure Yang Academy gets excellent results in the Little Red Sky, they can justify including people from the Pure Yang Academy in their team that will be sent to explore the other world.¡±


    After hearing what Che Yucheng had to say, Chen Mobai patted his chest, showing that he understood what he needed to do.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teacher, I¡¯ve already cut down about twenty Pure Yang students these five days. As long as I¡¯m in the Little Red Sky, nobody at the early to middle Foundation Establishment stage can outshine me.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai remembered Xiahou Weihuan and other Pure Yang Academy veterans who have graduated many years ago.


    ¡°I might lose to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and they won¡¯t be matched up with me, so I can¡¯t target them.¡±


    Just as he was fretting, Che Yucheng responded with a smile.


    ¡°We also have several former chief graduates from the Dance Tools Dao Academy. They are all busy exploring the Gold Core Way. Even if I call them, they may come out of their seclusion, but if our previous chief graduates deliberately step in to suppress the Pure Yang Academy, it seems a bit too deliberate, and the act is somewhat demeaning.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood, but he was also a little confused.


    ¡°So, Teacher, what exactly should I do to not only perform excellently but also suppress those like Xiahou Weihuan who rule without rivals in the late Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Not hiding anything from his disciple, Che Yucheng made two phone calls in front of Chen Mobai.


    He called the Academic directors of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and the Repairing Heaven Institute. First, he made some small talk, then he subtly mentioned the recent events in the Little Red Sky.


    I heard that your chief graduate was beaten!


    Who did that?


    It was the chief graduate of the Pure Yang Academy?! Does that mean your academy¡¯s students are no match for Pure Yang¡¯s students?


    Oh, so it turns out it was several former chief graduates of the Pure Yang Academy who have graduated several years ago? Well, no wonder Ling Dao Teacher had a hard time, it¡¯s understandable that they lost.


    After the two phone calls, Che Yucheng had a beaming smile on his face as the call was hung up.


    ¡°If I called them a few days earlier and used this to provoke them, they will definitely retort that our Dance Tools Dao Academy is dwindling and full of cowards. They will laugh at you, a first level Foundation Establishment cultivator becoming the chief graduate because those rightfully with higher seniority decided to abandon the place.¡±


    Now that wouldn¡¯t happen, as Chen Mobai had won every contest. He was the most popular figure in the Little Red Sky and had brought immense glory to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Che Yucheng observed his apprentice, Chen Mobai, with growing satisfaction. He beamed, his elderly face radiant.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve earned so much honor for you and the academy. Shouldn¡¯t the academy give me a few extra credit points?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he pretended to be massage his hand as if it were sore, suggesting that it took quite the effort to release those hundred swords in the past five days.


    ¡°Credit points are the essential system of the academy. No teacher has the authority to give extra credit points to students.¡±


    Che Yucheng refused Chen Mobai¡¯s request in a very serious manner.


    ¡°I was just saying. By the way, teacher, when will True Lord Shaoyang come out of seclusion? My classmate, Ming Yuhua, also studies the Pure Yang Scroll, and he has reached Foundation Establishment, but we have never seen our mentor.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic. He knew that while Che Yucheng was a great teacher, he tended to be conservative and a stalwart defender of the Daoist institution¡¯s laws.


    Only this way, could the world of cultivation of the immortal gateway maintain its civilization.


    As cultivators increase their cultivation level and power, they tend to despise worldly law and order. This will result in a situation like that in the Tianhe Realm, where courtesy and music are lost, and the strong are respected.


    Judging seniority based on cultivation level shows how the order in the Tianhe Realm has collapsed.


    However, from top to bottom in the Immortal Gateway, a system of heavenly rules and commandments is upheld to ensure the orderly civilization and heritage of Di Yuan Star, where everyone is treated as equal.


    The biggest difference between the Tianhe Realm and the Immortal Gateway is this:


    Order!


    ¡°Speaking of which, I recalled that Sister Duanmu had stored a few ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± with Rank-3 magic artifacts. You haven¡¯t used your device piece, have you? You did contribute to the academy, so I¡¯ll take you to the depths of the Treasure Trove when school starts next year.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t it said that the magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove¡¯s Device Nurturing Spheres are random?¡±


    ¡°They are random, but the Device Nurturing Spheres on Sister Duanmu¡¯s island randomly produce a Rank-3 magic artifact.¡±


    Che Yucheng solemnly reiterated, hinting at what he didn¡¯t need to make explicit.


    Chen Mobai gave him a thumbs-up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t celebrate too soon. The Rank-3 magic artifact might not suit you. Besides, whether Sister Duanmu agrees to this is still unknown.¡±


    However, the fact that Che Yucheng dared to make this suggestion indicated that he had some confidence that it would be possible.


    After all, this time Chen Mobai had earned the Dance Tool Dao Academy quite a bit of glory in the Little Red Sky.


    If the academy didn¡¯t reward anything, where would the motivation for future students come from?


    That evening, as Chen Mobai was looking at the introduction and diagram of the Rank-3 magic artifact in the Map of Treasures, a person he hadn¡¯t contacted for a long time called.


    It was Lan Haitian.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Considering they had cooperated once and he had helped him with the Yang Jing incident, Chen Mobai decided to answer the call.


    ¡°Can we meet in person? I¡¯m at Crimson Mountain.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came through the phone.


    At the entrance of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai looked strangely at Lan Haitian whom he found both familiar and unfamiliar.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did some heretical cult members mix in this time when Little Red Sky was opened?¡±


    The only explanation Chen Mobai could think of was Gongye Zhixu being a target of a cult attack. Perhaps in the shadows unseen by ordinary people, the Heaven Repair Group and the Ascension Sect had already started a bloody battle.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Director Nan of the academy ordered me to come over, to seize first place for Kunpeng Dao Academy in the Little Red Sky.¡±


    Lan Haitian casually said this.


    A thumbs-up immediately arose in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart for his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    The method used was indeed superior!


    Maddeningly smart!

 Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_1

    Chapter 351: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_1


    Lan Haitian is the most reputed Foundation Establishment true cultivator of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, and his strength is widely recognized as the best within this realm.


    Chen Mobai fulfilled his duties as a host to the best of his ability.


    ¡°Does the avatar projected into the Little Red Sky possess unlimited spiritual power?¡±


    During their meal, Lan Haitian didn¡¯t forget to discuss important matters with Chen Mobai. Although he was confident in his abilities, he always prepared thoroughly before taking any actions, a practice he always adhered to.


    ¡°At the start of the Magic Duel, the avatar you project in is assumed to be the same as your physical self outside. Using spells and the like will consume your spiritual power. Once your spiritual power is exhausted, Little Red Sky will declare automatic surrender.¡±


    ¡°However, after a match, regardless of victory or defeat, if you re-enter the duel, your spiritual power will be restored to its peak state.¡±


    ¡°As long as your mind can withstand the stress, theoretically, you could keep finding opponents within the Little Red Sky.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Lan Haitian nodded slightly, signaling his understanding.


    Projecting into the Little Red Sky doesn¡¯t consume spiritual power, but it does drain the mind.


    Because of this, many people can only participate in ten matches per day at most.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents were unable to pose a threat to him, he won each duel with a single sword strike, making twenty matches in a day a breeze.


    ¡°Before I came here, Director Nan advised me to pay a visit to Director Che of your academy after I clinch first place.¡±


    As he was leaving, Lan Haitian suddenly said these words. Chen Mobai immediately pretended not to know.


    ¡°Oh, is there something going on?¡±


    Lan Haitian glanced at Chen Mobai and simply laughed.


    ¡°A good show is about to begin.¡±


    Having fought alongside Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai clearly understood the weight of his reputation.


    Xiahou Weihuan of Pure Yang Academy, however, was a fellow of the same cultivation level at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he was armed with the premium combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret. Even though his abilities were halved in the Little Red Sky as he couldn¡¯t carry his Destiny Flying Sword, Chen Mobai felt that he might give Lan Haitian a fierce competition.


    Chen Mobai immediately reported this development to Che Yucheng.


    Upon hearing it, Che Yucheng was taken aback for a moment as he hadn¡¯t expected Kunpeng Daoist Academy to dispatch Lan Haitian.


    ¡°It seems Taishi Shu¡¯s loss has also greatly infuriated that guy, Nan Dou.¡±


    The dean of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy is named Nan Dou and among the four major Daoist academies, his fame rings the loudest in the last hundred years. Despite being only a Gold Core cultivator, he owned a Rank-4 companion beast which made him acknowledged as an equal to those at the Nascent Soul level within the immortal gate.


    ¡°And what about the Repairing Heaven Institute? Why is it so quiet?¡±


    Chen Mobai then asked. After all, the initial defeats of Ling Daoshi and Taishi Shu were made public and these two academies had lost face in a grand scale.


    Pure Yang Academy, propelled by these two, and Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s proclamation that ¡°Crimson City¡¯s righteous lineage lies in Pure Yang,¡± has led to several forum discussions about whether Dance Tool Dao Academy, which has always ranked last among the four major Daoist academies, should shift its position.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Oh, by the way, I have asked Sister Duanmu, she has permitted you to open a Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. Do you have time now? I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Upon hearing another piece of good news, Chen Mobai nodded with excitement.


    ¡°Master, I have loaned my device piece to Ming Yuhua.¡±


    But immediately, Chen Mobai remembered this problem and his brows furrowed.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, let¡¯s call him. I can take him to meet Sister Duanmu at the same time.¡±


    Arriving once more at the depths of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai still felt a bit hot along the way.


    When they were in front of the stone house, Ming Yuhua immediately handed the device piece he received from Duanmu Longrong to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°These two are the new Pure Yang Taoist seeds?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong suddenly asked, catching Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua by surprise.


    ¡°Correct, sister.¡±


    Che Yucheng lightly nodded.


    ¡°A bit weak.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong looked at them, shaking her head expressionlessly.


    ¡°They can still grow. Perhaps a hundred years from now, they will be the ones to replace you, sister.¡±


    Che Yucheng replied with a smile, causing Duanmu Longrong to shoot him an annoyed glare. He did not say any more, and immediately took Ming Yuhua up first.


    When only Chen Mobai was left, he looked nervously at this Core Formation cultivator standing in front of him. However, she didn¡¯t show him any prejudice because he was Che Yucheng¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°You wait here, don¡¯t move.¡±


    As she spoke, Duanmu Longrong pointed at the large Vermillion Fruit Tree next to her, then got up and entered the stone house behind her.


    Chen Mobai sneaked a glance and saw several cabinets inside, some empty, some holding ordinary-looking white jade spheres.


    Are these all Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯?


    Chen Mobai wanted to count them but found Duanmu Longrong had already closed the door.


    He had no choice but to wait under the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    ¡°There are four, whose sealed spiritual liquid is of the fire attribute. What you can open depends on your own fate.¡±

    When Duanmu Longrong emerged, she waved her red-black sleeve, and four ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ appeared in front of Chen Mobai.


    He immediately activated his Void Spirit Eye. The clear glow in his pupils allowed him to see past the surface and get a general understanding of the contents.


    They were each a circle, a blur, a bell shape, and a straight long shape.


    With the Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, the effect of the sealed spiritual liquid is much stronger. Even his Void Spirit Eye couldn¡¯t see through everything.


    Despite this, the moment Duanmu Longrong caught sight of the shimmer in his eyes, she revealed a look of surprise.

 Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_2

    Chapter 352: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_2


    ¡°You¡¯ve practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes well.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Teacher Duanmu. This is the shape that I see, could you perhaps point out which are the Rank-3 Magic Artifacts?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng had a good relationship, so he started familiarizing himself, describing the shapes he saw in the four Device Nurturing Spheres using his Void Spirit Eye.


    ¡°The round one should be the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror; the blurry one is probably a Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk refined by someone, although it doesn¡¯t rule out the possibility of it being a higher grade artifact that you can¡¯t see clearly; the bell-shaped one should be the Departure Fire Bell; as for the elongated one, it could either be a flying sword, a ruler, or a Flying Needle.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong didn¡¯t put Chen Mobai in a difficult position and told him everything she knew.


    Among them, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell are Rank-3 magic artifacts recorded in the Map of Treasures, Chen Mobai could easily get the mantra for their cultivation.


    Chen Mobai also found himself drawn to the Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk, after all, when cultivated to the highest realm, it could allow the cultivator to freely roam amongst the stars in the universe.


    However, considering that he had already received Rank-2 Red Misty Cloud Silk from True Yang Sage, he temporarily excluded this option.


    As for the higher-grade artifact mentioned by Duanmu Longrong, Chen Mobai did not even consider it.


    He was always cautious in his approach. The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell were both very suitable for him, especially the former, which could be used to cultivate the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±. There was no need to take risks for an extremely slight possibility.


    As for the last elongated artifact, since even Duanmu Longrong was not sure, Chen Mobai was definitely not going to choose it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    After contemplating for a long time, Chen Mobai chose the first Device Nurturing Sphere.


    The previous owner of this artifact was also a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, but unfortunately debido to the constraints of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, he was stuck at the sixth level of Gold Core.


    However, he was also an outstanding Artifact Refiner. According to the record in the Map of Treasures, this mirror had a maximum grade of intermediate grade Rank-3. After the Pure Yang Scroll cultivator¡¯s death, he had basically invested all his lifelong essence into the artifact, making this piece a suitable choice for him.


    Seeing his choice, Duanmu Longrong didn¡¯t argue but directly put away the remaining three Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Chen Mobai activated the Device Piece in his hand. Fire Godlight of the fire element emerged from the infinite magma outside the island, as if a fire dragon had been summoned.


    ¡°So the source of the Fire Godlight is here.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai saw the Fire Godlight break through the magma, it appeared to enter a dark artifact. He only had a glimpse and did not know what shape it was, let alone its grade.


    He wisely didn¡¯t look further, lowering his gaze to the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand, which was activated by the Fire Godlight. After the shell and the Spiritual Liquid turned into ash and disappeared, an ancient bronze mirror was revealed.


    The mirror was flawlessly smooth, reflecting Chen Mobai¡¯s figure like a placid lake.


    However, it was strange that it not only displayed the skin, but also the internal bones and meridians of the body appeared one by one on the mirror. Even his skull, which had been refined with the glowing Tree Juice, was reflected.


    ¡°This mirror was refined in imitation of the Soulful Mirror and probably has about one percent of the Soulful Mirror¡¯s power.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong said a sentence that moved Chen Mobai.


    The Soulful Mirror was a Rank-4 artifact and the co-cultivating object of Cheng Xuan, the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The latter relied on it to cultivate ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and even achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Although it was a simplified version, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.


    He was currently the Student Council President and could use the Map of Treasures at will. Therefore, he directly checked the mantra for cultivating the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and refined this Rank-3 artifact into his Dantian in front of Duanmu Longrong.


    Magic Artifacts of Rank-3 and above could serve as a cultivator¡¯s lifebound artifact.


    However, many cultivators do not initially decide on their lifebound artifact, because the spiritual energy provided by the Daoist Academy is limited. They barely have enough for their own cultivation, let alone extra spiritual energy to cultivate and enhance the power of the artifact.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s ¡°The Union of Differences¡± is a reversal of this approach.


    It utilizes the artifact¡¯s surpassing grade to drive the cultivator¡¯s enhancement, realizing the true meaning in the artifact, constantly breaking the mirrors, and participating in Heavenly Creation.


    The academy has a ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    It is the unparalleled method to upgrade a cultivator¡¯s realm.


    For example, if Chen Mobai refines a Rank-3 artifact as his lifebound artifact, during cultivation he will draw on the power of the artifact to elevate himself until his realm is on par with the artifact, at which point the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± is considered to be successful.


    The next step is that if a cultivator wants to advance, he must promote the artifact and himself together to break the mirror.


    Moreover, when cultivating the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, one can only select a magic artifact that exceeds their own realm by one rank. If the rank is surpassed, the individual would explode and instantly die upon the artifact entering their body, without exception.


    Many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, when they estimate that their lifespan would not permit them to advance to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, would risk practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, utilizing the power of high-grade artifacts, forcefully breaking the mirror, and attempting Core Formation.


    In contrast, the ¡°Union of Differences¡± is different.


    Not only does it possess all the advantages of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, but one can also refine Rank-4 or even Rank-5 artifacts across realms, and can sever this co-cultivation connection at any time.


    Lets say, for instance, one day Zhongli Tianyu feels that his ancestors¡¯ Bagua Mirror does not meet his preferences, he can discard this mirror and swap it for something else to join him.


    The condition could be explained with a simple example.


    Practicing the ¡°Union of Differences¡± is like a playboy, while practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± is like the embodiment of loyalty and commitment.


    Chen Mobai felt that he was very suitable for practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±.


    When he first started school, Ming Yuhua mentioned this. After he checked it out, he kept it in mind ever since.


    However, due to the lack of a suitable Rank-3 magic artifact, he had put it aside.


    Because the requirements for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method are too restrictive, and once a life magic artifact is chosen, it cannot be changed, and it is the only chance in one¡¯s life. Therefore, many people are extremely careful.


    There are even some Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who think about relying on their own talents to form the core, and then find a Rank-4 magic artifact to practice the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, to reach the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation.


    Chen Mobai is not one of these ambitious people; he has a clear understanding of himself.


    As long as he advances a step faster, he can gain more resources in the Tianhe Realm.


    After all, in that world, it is strength that commands respect.


    If he could form the core, perhaps he could implement new policies within the Divine Wood Sect, making all Foundation Establishment cultivators go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to seize opportunities, such resources and secret techniques obtained could elevate the Divine Wood Sect to a higher level.


    Unfortunately, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now.


    After leaving the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai went to Building One to thank Che Yucheng. Without him, Chen wouldn¡¯t have had the opportunity to get the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror that perfectly matched his Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method so soon.


    ¡°You can watch the ups and downs of the Little Red Sky in the next few days and wait for the right opportunity to break the winning streak of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s choice, Che Yucheng gave an approving look.


    In this way, at least he can try to advance to Foundation Establishment using ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ with the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.


    After Chen Mobai left Building One, he went to Building Nine and obtained a Cultivation Room.


    He had stalled in the Pure Yang Scroll for over a year. If it wasn¡¯t to advance to Foundation Establishment via Enlightenment, he would have already impatiently used the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures to break through.


    Hopefully, with the pure Yang Truth in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, he can enter the realm of legend.


    Inside the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, the green jade phoenix tree which had taken form using his divine sense, dropped a flower and fruit from the top of a branch. It transformed into a ray of light, and entered the ancient bronze mirror in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he were entering a world of flames.


    The six True Fires conveying different Dao rhymes seemed like six spirit snakes coiling around his divine sense. In just a blink of an eye, he felt a sharp pain in his divine sense, as if his entire being were being burned and gradually turning into ashes.


    Is this what my opponents, whom I killed with one stroke, felt?


    At this moment, Chen Mobai was contemplating this question.

    However, his powerful divine sense eventually got the upper hand. Although the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was a Rank-3 artifact, with no one controlling it, he was able to subdue it after surviving the initial wave.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai also introduced his Pure Yang spiritual power from the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Yet, it was devoured by the Six Yang Divine Fire in an instant.


    According to the theory, Pure Yang Scroll cultivators at the level of Qi Cultivation cannot refine Rank-3 artifacts for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.


    But he was different.

 Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_1

    Chapter 353: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_1


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level was only at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation according to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, due to the existence of the Dual-phase technique, his realm was essentially that of the Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he could perfectly refine the Rank-3 Six Solar Divine Fire Mirror.


    Under the dual-phase rotation, the dense and unending Longevity Spiritual Power, similar to timber, was devoured by the normally insignificant Pure Yang Spiritual Power. Chen Mobai spared no expense in consuming his origin, and soon the pure Yang energy, which was only gaseous, began to liquefy.


    He then infused this drop of liquid Pure Yang spiritual power into the Six Solar God Fire Mirror. The ancient bronze mirror, which had been restlessly turbulent, began to slowly stabilize after sensing the power identical to its previous owner.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense, which originally seemed to be caught in a sea of fire, now began to feel relaxed and comfortable.


    As if he were immersed in a hot spring, his body felt warm and light.


    He had an illusion that the flames seemed like hot water.


    Vague as it was, Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense began to lose itself in the infinite expanse of flames. He seemed to be transformed into a spirit of flames, freely soaring within them.


    By the time he emerged from this state, five days had already passed.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes, looked at his right hand, snapped his fingers, and a spark appeared on his fingertips.


    This was a benefit he gained during the Taoist Revelation process, and it also delivered him a formidable physique.


    Named ¡°Fire Spirit Body.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why he was aware of this name. It felt like it naturally popped up within his divine sense.


    Since he knew the name, it was easy to handle.


    He took out his phone, conducted a quick internet search, and sure enough, he found relevant information.


    It turned out that this Fire Spirit Body was an extremely rare and powerful physique that might be born with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    Individuals with the Fire Spirit Body, depending on their level of awakening, could possess various talents such as Fire Affinity, Mastery of Flames, and Flame Resistance.


    When cultivating spells and techniques of the fire attribute, their efficiency could be exponentially increased.


    Usually, a cultivator with a Fire Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root could possibly possess a Fire Spirit Body, but the probability was only one percent.


    Inversely, a cultivator with a Fire Spirit Body is always a cultivator with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root. This is a law derived by the Immortal Sect.


    After reading all this, Chen Mobai was dumbfounded.


    He took out the Spirit-Testing Instruments to re-examine his Spirit Root Attribute, and indeed his Fire Spirit Root had increased by ten points in the process of Foundation Establishment, changing to ¡°Fire 63,¡± which could be regarded as entering the realm of genius.


    But he still didn¡¯t have a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root? Why?


    After much thought, Chen Mobai could only attribute this Fire Spirit Body to a gift from the Heavenly Way, which allowed him, who was not a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, to possess it directly.


    After suppressing the random thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai took out his Qingyang Fire Seed.


    He operated his Sun Raising Technique with his newly acquired Fire Spirit Body, and soon, what was originally just a purple-tinged fire seed almost instantaneously changed into a flame that was half purple and half green.


    Just a little more, and this fire seed could completely ascend and become ¡°Qingyang Fire.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel invigorated. A complete Qingyang Fire, an absolute peak of Rank-2 Spiritual Fire, possesses traits of some Rank-3 Spiritual Fire. With this as its foundation, once he had mastered the Green Flames Sword Slaughter Technique, he would be able to contend even with a Golden Core Real Person.


    Because the Sword Slaughter Technique could only be refined by a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Regrettably, he had obtained this Qingyang Fire Seed only recently. Although he had repeatedly refined it with the Pure Qingyang Technique and the fiery Spiritual Energy of the Treasure Trove, only slightly more than half of it had been advanced under the augmentation of the Sun Raising Technique and the Fire Spirit Body.


    After his cultivation level had improved, Chen Mobai visited the Divine Tree Secret Realm at the first instance.


    Unfortunately, the Magic Treasure Tree had already been fed with Pure Yang Spiritual Power. Even though he had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment level, he was unable to obtain any special fruits from it.


    Chen Mobai then went to the Talent Tree.


    The tree was more sensitive and, after he elevated his Fire Spiritual Root due to Foundation Establishment, it bestowed upon him another technique known as ¡°Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique.¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care much about it, but after going through it, he couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    This ¡°Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique¡± required the use of Qingyang Fire and Tree Juice of Longevity. By using the former to instill fire into wood, the powerful and dynamic tree juice could dissolve and immerse one¡¯s entire body. It significantly accelerated the pace of refining the Longevity Taoist Body.


    This Talent Tree is too intelligent, isn¡¯t it?


    Chen Mobai looked at the towering and enormous Divine Tree in front of him in disbelief. Despite owning such profound heritage, the Ancient Longevity Sect had still vanished in the river of history. It really demonstrated how terrifying the concealed power of the Tianhe Realm was.

    Within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he practiced the spells from the Pure Yang Scroll with his newly acquired Fire Spirit Body and, without exception, all of them were enhanced and elevated.


    Chen Mobai cultivated using the Flame Lighting Technique and Precious Fire Forging Physical Techniques in combination, and in a short period of time, he had completely fused all the Longevity Tree Juice, which was originally infused into his skull but hadn¡¯t been completely refined yet.


    The Void Spirit Eye was influenced and saw some improvement, but he didn¡¯t test it and was unsure about how much it had enhanced compared to before.


    Once all the Longevity Tree Juice was completely merged into his skull, Chen Mobai felt his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Mansion expand slightly, causing the operation speed of his divine sense to increase.


    He only wondered if the Divine Slash had also increased in power?

 Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_2

    Chapter 354: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_2


    At this thought, Chen Mobai could hardly contain himself.


    He returned to the Xianmen and logged onto Little Red Sky.


    Soon, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were always watching him began to click on the matching request.


    Before the first opponent could even say a word, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes seemed to slash out with an icy sharpness, forming an invisible heavenly sword that exploded his opponent¡¯s head.


    It was another simple defeat of the enemy.


    ¡°Just a Rank-4 Foundation Establishment level, not very impressive.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then clicked the match button again.


    Three seconds later, a handsome male, donned in the uniform of Pure Yang Academy, appeared before him.


    His unfettered aura made Chen Mobai¡¯s face glow with joy.


    ¡°Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, you¡¯re not bad.¡±


    After identifying the opponent¡¯s cultivation level using the Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai did not immediately use his Purple Fire Sword Light to defeat the opponent. Instead, he cast a fire attribute spell that he had been practicing for a long time.


    The opponent obviously knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s powerful magic duel ability, and did not dare to slack off.


    After a burst of Finger Swords Qi broke Chen Mobai¡¯s Fireball Technique, he was about to rush forward.


    But he realized that his opponent had clenched his right fist, and the fireball, which had been split by him, was ignited at once.


    ¡°Flame Explosion Technique!? He¡¯s also from the root of the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the True Cultivator from Pure Yang Academy, but his hand movements did not stop. He drew out ten Sword Lights with his fingers and turned on his toes. Like a top, he spun blocking all the explosive forces from the Flame Explosion Technique.


    However, in doing so, he had made himself a target.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai would not miss this opportunity, and with a slash of his sword, the magnificent deep purple Sword Light hit heavily, colliding with the opponent¡¯s spinning Sword Qi, but was silently nullified.


    There was a ¡°puff¡± sound.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light was eventually blocked by his opponent, the opponent spewed out blood and retreated backward, spinning in the air a few times before half-kneeling on the ground.


    ¡°How interesting.¡±


    Chen Mobai had fought hundreds of battles in Little Red Sky, facing different opponents. Naturally, he encountered those who couldn¡¯t be defeated in one hit.


    However, nobody had quite caught his eye like the opponent in front of him now.


    ¡°After taking your one hit, I should be able to leave my name behind.¡±


    The handsome man from Pure Yang Academy stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth and looked somewhat proud in defeat.


    ¡°Pure Yang Academy Ninth Grade, Chang Zhengyang.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re good. Since I¡¯ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation, let¡¯s spend some more time together.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a flash of red lightning appeared in his right hand, like a whip swung towards Chang Zhengyang. Chang Zhengyang did not expect this, and even though he had proudly taken a hit from Chen Mobai of Dance Tool Dao Academy, he wasn¡¯t prepared this time and was taken away.


    ¡°Still lacking in magic duel experience.¡±


    Seeing Chang Zhengyang blasted into dust by the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Over in the Tianhe Realm, even facing a dead opponent, one must not let their guard down.


    The Little Red Sky may be a place to increase their magic duel capabilities and hone their skills, but after all, it¡¯s not a life-or-death battle, the mentality naturally falls short.


    Chen Mobai clicked the match button again.


    His third battle of the day was against a formidable opponent, the topmost Rank-6 Foundation Establishment student of Spiritual Treasure Academy, named Dai Shiqing.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Chen of the superior academy.¡±


    However, when Dai Shiqing arrived, he first respectfully greeted Chen Mobai with an ancient salute, adopting the etiquette of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    All top ten academies basically originate from the four Daoist Academies, and this Spiritual Treasure Academy is a branch of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    They primarily practice ¡°Unity of Self and Tool Technique¡± and ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± that evolved from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    The latter is something that Chen Mobai has been practicing, while the former is a Treasure controlling spell, which can integrate the caster and the Magic Artifact in a short period, maximizing their power.


    The dean of Spiritual Treasure Academy, is also the only Rank-5 Treasure Appraiser in Xianmen.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, Magic Artifacts cannot be used here.¡±


    After returning Dai Shiqing¡¯s salute, Chen Mobai, taking a look at the latter with his Void Spirit Eye, could not help but shake his head in regret.


    He has decent cultivation. If he had an associated Magic Artifact, he might have been able to duel with me.


    As the top student of the Spiritual Treasure Academy, Dai Shiqing could probably have already refined a Rank-3 artifact and practiced the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s already an honor to spar with the top senior of the superior academy, let alone having any regrets.¡±


    Dai Shiqing was nonchalant. After the salute, he executed a movement technique, and his full person split into two, then four, launching attack spells from all directions at Chen Mobai.


    But with the operation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, he quickly identified the real body.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Divine Slash shot out, and the real Dai Shiqing on the right suddenly froze for a moment. Chen Mobai seized this opportunity and slashed out with his sword.


    ¡°Treasure Light Technique!¡±


    Dai Shiqing was after all the top student of the Spiritual Treasure Academy. Although his Divine Sense was out of control, his body sensed the crisis and the powerful defensive magic etched in his Dantian came out in response, transforming into a treasure bell that firmly ensnared him.


    The brilliant Sword Light fell, and together with the Treasure Light Technique, it created a deafening explosion.


    Under this commotion, Dai Shiqing woke up, his face full of terror.

 Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter 279 Fire Spirit Body_3

    Chapter 355: Chapter 279 Fire Spirit Body_3


    However, when Chen Mobai¡¯s first strike was blocked, he immediately launched another, With two consecutive strikes, the bell formed by the Treasure Light Technique began to teeter, showing thin cracks.


    ¡°Breaking Treasure Dismantling Great Technique!¡±


    Anyone capable of reaching the level of the head of the ten academic palaces would be above the simple Foundation Establishment Stage. Although Dai Shiqing lacked a Magic Artifact, he also had a desperate spell.


    Seeing that the Treasure Light Technique was about to be broken, he boldly capitalized on the characteristic of the Little Red Sky where one does not fear death. He directly abandoned his defense. As he destroyed the Treasure Light Technique, he also made all the Spiritual Power in his Dantian explode, forming a misty surge of Spiritual Energy, like a towering tidal wave rushing toward Chen Mobai.


    But at the same time, Dai Shiqing himself, due to the disappearance of the Treasure Light Technique, was struck in the chest by the Purple Fire Sword Light, barely holding onto his last breath.


    And it was this last breath that allowed him to see Chen Mobai use a defensive technique for the first time since entering the Little Red Sky.


    As a spiritual leaf just started to bloom, Dai Shiqing was already unable to hold on and turned into ashes.


    Chen Mobai felt the huge white wave that hit him before it suddenly vanished, his face showing a trace of melancholy.


    After he mastered the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±, whether it was Meng Hong, Che Yucheng or Master Zuo Gong, they all said that such power would be unmatched unless one was against an opponent above the late Foundation Establishment Stage.


    But they also warned him to be wary of some outstanding talents in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment. Their strengths have already surpassed their own realms and should be able to fight against those in the late stages of Foundation Establishment.


    In the words of the Tianhe Realm, these were all prodigies.


    Chen Mobai had not met one before, but today he finally encountered one.


    Since entering Little Red Sky, Dai Shiqing was the only opponent that made him feel threatened.


    Even though his opponent used a desperate spell under the rule of the Little Red Sky where there was no fear of death, regardless of his own safety, it was clear that due to his high winning percentage, which was nearing breaking Yuan Yang¡¯s winning record, the ones he would encounter next would all be at Dai Shiqing¡¯s level who were heads at the Foundation Establishment Stage.


    However, because of this, Chen Mobai could feel a surge of excitement unconsciously welling up from the depths of his heart.


    Although instant killing was impressive, it was indeed too boring.


    He hoped to fall to a powerful opponent in a peak duel, rather than always catching fish in muddy waters.


    He clicked to match again.


    Very quickly, his third opponent of the day entered the room.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised when he saw her.


    ¡°Long time no see,¡±


    Qing Nu greeted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me when you succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s last contact with Qing Nu was when she said she was going to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Also because of this, he handed over the matter of refining Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a very ordinary event, not worth mentioning.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and calmly replied.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°All right, then.¡±


    On hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what to say. After Kong Feichen left with Yang Jing, she seemed to have closed herself off a bit. He was not very good at giving advice, and it wasn¡¯t appropriate in this situation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a good match.¡±


    Out of sight, out of mind. After saluting, Chen Mobai directly raised his right finger and pointed at Qing Nu.


    With one slash, Qing Nu disappeared from his sight.

 Chapter 356 - Chapter 356: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_1

    Chapter 356: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_1


    Qing Nu¡¯s real self awakened in a high-tech chair.


    She was breathing lightly, releasing her tightly clenched hands.


    ¡°You¡¯re really unlucky, encountering that monster after ten consecutive victories.¡±


    A cup of boiled water was handed to Qing Nu. A mature woman in glasses and a white lab coat looked at the combat scene playing on the screen on the wall across from her.


    This is one of the benefits of being in the Repair Group.


    After each battle, the supercomputers help analyze the reasons for their wins and losses, detailing all the aspects they didn¡¯t consider. It¡¯s to enhance everyone¡¯s magic duel abilities while nurturing their higher level combat consciousness.


    ¡°I knew he was strong, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be this strong.¡±


    Qing Nu took the water and drank it all in one go, seemingly wanting to drive away the burning sensation caused by her projected avatar¡¯s annihilation by the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    ¡°This man is a once-in-a-millennium Sword Dao prodigy. He comprehended Sword Rainbow Fission at the Foundation Establishment Rank-1. I wonder how Dance Tool Dao Academy cultivated him.¡±


    The mature woman was Zhongli Yi, deputy leader of the Repair Group 4; she too had an account in Little Red Sky, but her expertise in medical treatment and poisons didn¡¯t help in that environment where combat relies solely on spiritual power and spellcasting, leading to her lower achievements.


    Once, she was fortunate enough to be matched against Chen Mobai, but she was instantly killed by a single sword strike.


    ¡°He probably comprehended it himself, right? I wonder if he can break Yuan Yang¡¯s record.¡±


    Qing Nu, having drunk the water and calming down for a good while, finally managed to rid the burning sensation sparked by the annihilation of her projected avatar in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. She got up, clicked on the screen and watched Chen Mobai¡¯s subsequent battles.


    ¡°It might be a little difficult now; they¡¯ve matched him up with this guy.¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s next opponent at this moment, Zhongli Yi couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes and let out a sigh.


    It was a man with rough and coarse features, his skin faintly yellow, and his hands and feet were thick.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    Qing Nu knew that even though Zhongli Yi was average in magic duels, because her background was from the Zhongli Clan and she was part of Repair Group, she was very familiar with the genius standout talents of the Immortal Sects.


    She had personally experienced Chen Mobai¡¯s strength, but upon seeing the man, she felt that Mobai could lose.


    So clearly, this man¡¯s origin and strength must be outstanding.


    ¡°He¡¯s Lu Qiulong!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes in surprise.


    It¡¯s actually him.


    ¡­


    After sending Qing Nu off, Chen Mobai let out a long sigh.


    This obstacle could only be crossed by Qing Nu herself.


    He shook his head, cleared his thoughts, and clicked the pairing button again.


    A man who looked somewhat old appeared in front of him.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was active, and he had already seen through his opponent¡¯s cultivation level.


    Foundation Establishment Rank-5.


    His vitality was more vigorous than normal people¡¯s, almost like it was burning. When Chen Mobai tried to look closer, he found the opponent¡¯s vitality suddenly transform into a mighty, colourful big bug with its mouth wide open, rushing into Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion through his gaze.


    Roar!


    Caught off guard, a tiger materialized in front of the Green Paulownia Seedling that Chen Mobai had just divided his consciousness into.


    Its white teeth were poised to snap up the Green Paulownia Seedling.


    Clang!


    The sound of metal singing as swords were unsheathed rang out, a green sprout fell and transformed into an invisible blade whistling down, cutting into the middle of the roaring character on the tiger¡¯s forehead in the blink of an eye.


    Under the Divine Slash, the illusionary bloodthirsty tiger formed by the condensation of vitality instantly dissipated within Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    But that attack had still taken Mobai by surprise and his previously somewhat relaxed spirit was immediately reinvigorated.


    At this time, because of his horrifying combat record, the only individuals that could be matched with him were those also undefeated or the peak individuals among those at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    These individuals all had terrifying dueling capabilities, having carved out their own impressive reputations within Little Red Sky.


    ¡°Lu Qiulong.¡±


    The man stated his name, and Chen Mobai nodded to indicate he remembered him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s calm expression after hearing his name, Lu Qiulong was puzzled and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Are you famous?¡±


    Chen Mobai actually hadn¡¯t heard of the name Lu Qiulong before. He was sincerely immersed in his cultivation within the Immortal Sects, collecting resources in the Tianhe realm, and practicing cultivation in the Crimson Mountain.


    He didn¡¯t concern himself with events outside his window.


    ¡°Oh no, how could the president run into this guy!¡±


    Meanwhile, the members of the Dance Tool Dao Academy Student Union who had been paying close attention to Chen Mobai saw his opponent, and even Ming Yu, who had always respected him like a god, couldn¡¯t help but frown.

    ¡°I saw he¡¯s just at Rank-5 Foundation Establishment; old Chen has killed about a dozen or so Rank-5 opponents under his sword. Is this man really so terrifying that you¡¯re afraid of him?¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who had come to watch on the big screen, saw the Student Union members react as if they were on the brink of a crisis and scratched his head, expressing his confusion.


    ¡°This man is the best graduate from the True Spiritual Academy. Although his cultivation level isn¡¯t high, his companion beast is an Extremely Wicked Tiger at the peak of Rank-2. Its combat strength is so strong, it even ranked among those at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Hua Zijing looked extremely worried.


    ¡°Then there¡¯s even less to fear. Artifacts aren¡¯t allowed in Little Red Sky, let alone spirit beasts. Old Chen is sure to win.¡±

 Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_2

    Chapter 357: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_2


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s view, however, was different from those of the student council members.


    ¡°The True Spirit Academy is different. If they know their opponent is strong, they can absorb the power of their spirit beast in advance, regardless of the spiritual consumption,¡± he said.


    Lu Tiansuan voiced out everyone¡¯s concern. Upon listening, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.


    If it were indeed the case, Chen Mobai might truly not stand a chance.


    Now, all they could do was hope that Lu Qiulong had not done so.


    Chen Mobai was oblivious to this.


    After knowing that his opponent was Lu Qiulong, all the cultivators watching the Little Red Sky livestream diverted their attention to watch their fierce competition.


    At this moment, this magic duel topped the trending list on every portal website and forum.


    ¡°Do you belong to the Kunpeng Daoist Institute or the True Spirit Academy?¡± Chen Mobai asked Lu Qiulong. The famous beast tamers were from these two institutions.


    ¡°True Spirit Academy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what a pity.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the pity?¡±


    ¡°Most of the power of you beast tamers lies with your spirit beasts. In this Little Red Sky, you can¡¯t fully exert your strength and fight at your best.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he retracted his Void Spirit Eye.


    Undoubtedly, Lu Qiulong had reached deep into spiritual cultivation. His bloodline and beast tamer aptitude combined, bearing the fierce and evil Qi of the Extremely Wicked Tiger. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s counteracting Divine Slash, he might¡¯ve already been defeated at first glance.


    ¡°No pity, because I knew I would face you today. Hence, I borrowed some power from my spirit beast in advance,¡± said Lu Qiulong. As he spoke, his fists clenched.


    With a boom!


    A magnificent surge of blood and evil aura burst out from all over his body, tearing his upper body clothes apart and revealing his muscular and perfect physique.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes locked onto Lu Qiulong!


    Beyond his sight, Lu Qiulong disappeared all of a sudden. A terrifying fist force, indescribable in words, loaded with ferocious evil Qi, aimed right at Chen Mobai¡¯s right cheek.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    This pure physical speed was the fastest that Chen Mobai had encountered in his over a hundred fights.


    Fortunately, his sword light had reached the level of reacting as swiftly as his thoughts.


    He lifted one finger on his right hand, a brilliant deep purple sword light erupted, perfectly intersecting with Lu Qiulong¡¯s punch before it could hit his cheek.


    Sword light and fist force!


    From the very beginning, they clashed directly with their powers!


    In the midst of a thunderous boom, after Lu Qiulong¡¯s left fist was blocked by the sword light, he wore a wild grin. Without advancing, he retreated, and his right fist-force, loaded with explosive blood force, heavily smashed towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chin.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai raised his left index finger and pointed a sword at him.


    With a bang!


    A massive impact spread from the center where the two were, and Chen Mobai immediately flew backward.


    While retreating, he clasped his palms together, and dazzling red electricity had already begun to form in his palm.


    On the other hand, Lu Qiulong grounded his feet and, like a cannonball, counterattacked and sprinted towards Chen Mobai.


    Amidst the roaring sound!


    Lu Qiulong crashed directly into the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique. His whole body hair ignited, his bronze skin radiated streaks of red lightning, but he forcefully disrupted the powerful spell.


    He was getting close to Chen Mobai once again.


    At this point, a pair of fireballs formed in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm along with the exhalation of sword light.


    With a swing of both fists, the fireball and Sword Light shattered simultaneously.


    But in the face of a strong adversary, Chen Mobai started to display his talent in Magic Duel. His hands moved again, his Divine Sense started to operate, wielding the Fire Chain Technique from the Eternal Life Sect.


    Flames and Sword Light, scattered by Lu Qiulong, rapidly consolidated under his control. They transformed into large fire chains, seemingly rooted in the void and firmly bound Lu Qiulong, who had already made it to Chen Mobai¡¯s front.


    After control was established, a shimmering light sparkled in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, he opened his right hand, and within his palm, a cluster of purple-green flames began to burn, an awe-inspiring and terrifying Sword Light was about to burst forth.


    Lu Qiulong felt the power of his Spirit Beast within him rapidly depleting while also being astonished at Chen Mobai¡¯s terrifying power, but the equation for victory was already in his hands.


    Roar!


    After a thunderous roar, his blood surged, and his entire body transformed into a three-meter-high fierce tiger, breaking free from all the fire chains, and lunged towards Chen Mobai.


    At the same time, Purple Fire Sword Light, aroused by operating Sun Raising Technique with Fire Spirit Body, extended from the palm of Chen Mobai, directly piercing the center of the huge mouth of the fierce tiger that Lu Qiulong transformed into.


    ¡°Who won!¡±


    On the outside, under the dazzling purple-green firelight intermingled with an impressive burst of Qi and blood, everyone was prevented from seeing the scene clearly where the two of them locked in combat.


    Just as Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua were clenching their fists tightly in tension, the Spiritual Light surrounding the two of them began to fade away.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light was held by Lu Qiulong with his left hand, redirecting what would have been a fatal injury piercing his heart, to his left shoulder.


    Although his left hand was rendered useless, he managed to avoid death and being disqualified. At the same time, Lu Qiulong¡¯s right hand turned into a claw, holding Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, looking as if he was about to decapitate him.


    However, a cluster of clear Spiritual Light transformed into an invisible barrier, akin to an aura, protecting Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, preventing his right hand from advancing further.


    This was ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡±, that Chen Mobai had worked hard on for nearly two years after his Foundation Establishment!


    As an immature version of ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±, the supreme secret technique of the Divine Wood Sect, this Heavenly Wood Spirit Light may not possess much offensive power, but with the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue that Chen Mobai learned from the Eternal Life Sect, its form could vary, making it his most powerful defensive technique.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to perform Foundation Establishment using Pure Yang Scroll?¡±


    Lu Qiulong looked surprised as he glanced at the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light that was defending against his right claw. He could sense that it was transformed from a Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, which perfectly countered his Earth Spiritual Power.


    ¡°Your Earth Spiritual Power counters my Fire Attribute Sword Qi, indeed, you are the most suitable opponent to face me.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai wanted to pull his right Sword Finger out of the blood hole in Lu Qiulong¡¯s shoulder, but the latter held it tight, immobilizing him.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your previous hundred or so opponents were too weak, they didn¡¯t push you hard enough to reveal your trump cards.¡±


    Lu Qiulong expressed his sentiments as the nails of his right hand, under his Spiritual Power, transformed into five sharp blades. They slowly yet firmly pierced into Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, almost scratching Chen Mobai¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the True Spiritual Academy stand with the Kunpeng Daoist Institute?¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai said something that caused Lu Qiulong to frown.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Taishi Shu was defeated by the Pure Yang Academy not long ago, Lan Haitian, out of resentment towards Xiahou Weihuan and others for bullying the weak, has already come to Crimson City, I originally thought that you ought to be fighting against the Pure Yang Academy, instead.¡±


    Lu Qiulong¡¯s face changed at Chen Mobai¡¯s words, but soon he shook his head.


    ¡°Although I am a graduate of the True Spiritual Academy, I come first, since I promised to beat you, I will fulfill that commitment.¡±


    As Lu Qiulong finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned into the pupils of a tiger, his left hand firmly gripped Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Finger, and one of the five right claws finally broke through Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, seeming about to slice the latter¡¯s throat.


    ¡°Such a pity, I had hoped to make your surrender honorable.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly let out a sigh. As Lu Qiulong wondered what that meant, the latter¡¯s entire head suddenly exploded into blood and gore.


    To face such a formidable adversary, Chen Mobai used a ¡°Divine Slash¡± evolved from his flower fruit-shaped Divine Consciousness Forming.

    If Lu Qiulong had been in his prime, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have suffered so easily.


    But after a fierce battle with Chen Mobai, along with Lu Qiulong holding his breath while forcefully absorbing his Spirit Beast¡¯s powers just to fight Chen Mobai, he had already been significantly drained, which consequently led to his demise.


    Chen Mobai lifted his right hand with its bending and straightening fingers, and with intersecting Sword Qi, sliced Lu Qiulong, who had been restraining him, into several pieces.


    In the midst of the blood rain, he looked up at the final trace of his adversary and expressed his heartfelt admiration.


    ¡°A formidable opponent indeed.¡±

 Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: Chapter 281: Lan Haitian’s Strength _1

    Chapter 358: Chapter 281: Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength _1


    ¡°He actually won.¡±


    Among the Patch Up Crew, Zhongli Yi seemed astonished at Chen Mobai, who was standing unscathed in the middle of the screen, disbelief in her eyes.


    ¡°It appears that this Lu Qiulong isn¡¯t as splendid as his fame suggests.¡±


    She shook her head as she spoke. As one of the vice team leaders of the Patch Up Crew, she was not only in charge of medical affairs and dispensing medicines, but also for managing all sorts of information and intelligence.


    She had seen a top-tier document about Lu Qiulong once.


    It stated that the Patch Up Crew was focusing on nurturing him. After Lan Haitian retired, they planned to invite him to maintain order, serving as another Foundation Establishment heavyweight.


    Seeing now, he was just so-so.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a possibility that the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy is just too strong?¡±


    Qing Nu calmly commented, leaving Zhongli Yi stumped.


    ¡°If that were the case, he would be too overwhelmingly strong.¡±


    With her eyes fixed on that elegantly-dressed young man in a red and black robe, Zhongli Yi could not help but sigh.


    In the student association of the Crimson Mountain¡­


    Ming Yuhua and others were overwhelmed with joy, while Hua Zijing was astonished in front of the screen, unable to believe her eyes.


    She knew that Chen Mobai was very strong, but she had never imagined that he would win to this extent.


    That was Lu Qiulong!


    He was known as the Ferocious Tiger of the Immortal Doors, a Foundation Establishment powerhouse famous for his formidable fighting ability.


    After watching the results of this battle, Meng Huang felt a great sense of relief.


    She put her cell phone away, finished her break, returned to the broadcasting studio, and continued rehearsing with the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe.


    ¡°Why were you gone for so long?¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan, who had already sweated through his training, noticed the joy in Meng Huang and asked curiously.


    ¡°I watched an amazing show.¡±


    ¡°An amazing show? What kind of show?¡±


    Meng Huang shot a contemptuous glance at Jiang Yuyuan. Unfortunately, he was a natural drama addict. His obsession was the reason he outperformed her, finished his foundation establishment early on and was a prime candidate for mastering the Shocking God Sonata.


    Because she was unable to establish her foundation after two long years, she was about to drag down the average level of Dance Tool Dao Academy. The people who flattered her started to look at her differently.


    [If only I could be as outstanding as him.]


    Thinking of Chen Mobai just now, how he casually defeated Lu Qiulong, Meng Huang became lost in thought.


    In a certain area of the Crimson City square, Lan Haitian looked on in surprise as Chen Mobai chopped Lu Qiulong into pieces on the large screen.


    ¡°This guy seems stronger than before.¡±


    Naturally, Lin Yin was at Lan Haitian¡¯s side. She had witnessed the entire battle between Chen Mobai and Lu Qiulong. Having personally assessed their strengths before, she had originally thought that Lu Qiulong had a better chance of winning.


    She had once encountered Lu Qiulong while on a mission with Lan Haitian.


    They had fought once.


    Faced with Lu Qiulong who had merged with his Rank-2 peak partner beast, Lan Haitian had a hard time winning.


    For this very reason, she thought that Chen Mobai would be slightly inferior.


    Who knew, he ended up winning.


    ¡°If he had prepared in advance, he could only possibly absorb 20% of the Tiger¡¯s Evil Qi. It¡¯s normal for him to lose.¡±


    Lan Haitian instantly saw the reason for Lu Qiulong¡¯s defeat.


    ¡°Oh, so you thought Lu Qiulong would lose before they even fought?¡±


    Lin Yin was a bit puzzled.


    ¡°No, like you, I thought the same.¡±


    Hesitating momentarily, Lan Haitian spoke the truth.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s victory was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    This naturally included the Pure Yang Academy, who had personally arranged this match.


    ¡°If Lu Qiulong was defeated, who can conquer him among the late-stage foundation establishment?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan frowned as he turned to Pure Yang Academy¡¯s top student of this generation, Wenren Zijing. Despite the academy¡¯s investment, the latter had only reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Even when faced with the late-stage foundation establishment, relying on the Pure Yang Scroll and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, there might still be a chance to fight.


    But if he were to have a magic duel with Lu Qiulong, there would certainly be no chance of survival.


    ¡°Senior, although I¡¯m not a match for him, this concerns our ancestor¡¯s record. Even if it means dying once, I must fight.¡±


    With unwavering determination, Wenren Zijing said this as he was about to resolutely project himself into Little Red Sky.


    ¡°If nothing else works, let¡¯s use the strategy we discussed before.¡±


    At this moment, Sima Xingyu blocked him, opening his eyes to speak.


    ¡°Your sacrifice is too great, I won¡¯t agree unless it¡¯s the last resort,¡± Xiahou Weihuan shook his head , rejecting Sima Xingyu¡¯s proposal.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait till he wins one hundred and nineteen battles.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nevertheless, seeing Chen Mobai, the God-like being in the screen who had defeated three powerful opponents again, Xiahou Weihuan eventually wavered. With a sigh, he nodded reluctantly.


    ¡°Let me warm up the battleground then. I¡¯ll try to dig up some information on Chen Mobai for my senior.¡±


    Wenren Zijing volunteered, and the other two agreed.


    ¡°Alas, I¡¯m feeling frustrated. I need to vent it out in Little Red Sky.¡±


    Seeing Wenren Zijing looking as if he was prepared for death, Xiahou Weihuan is no longer able to suppress the pent-up anger he had for the two or three days due to Chen Mobai¡¯s successive victories. He projected himself into Little Red Sky, intending to find a couple of opponents to kill in a fit of rage.

 Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian’s Strength_2

    Chapter 359: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength_2


    In view of this, Sima Xingyu did not stop him. Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, in order to better break through the realm and keep their spells pure and powerful, basically follow the example of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestors, remaining celibate for life to preserve their juvenile purity.


    In such cases, there will be an excessive amount of yang energy in the body, if the spiritual realm is not high, there will often be a situation of intense emotional fluctuations.


    That Xiahou Weihuan could suppress it for two or three days already proved his divine sense realm was high enough.


    But these two chiefs, the most outstanding in the Pure Yang Academy for a century, did not know, that there was a shark hidden in the sea, waiting for his entry.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan has appeared.¡±


    Above the square, Lin Yin couldn¡¯t help feeling thrilled when he saw the image in the upper right corner of the big screen.


    ¡°Lucky me. I didn¡¯t have to wait too long.¡±


    Lan Haitian saw the image of Xiahou Weihuan beheading his opponent with a single sword and a relaxed and satisfied smile crept up his lips.


    Then, he divided his divine sense into two and projected it into the Little Red Sky.


    ¡°They are all trash.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan was matched with a cultivator at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. While it appeared that he had a good chance of winning, he still couldn¡¯t block his sword.


    If only he could be matched with that junior from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy!


    Xiahou Weihuan, who was feeling even more upset, clicked the match button again after slaying his opponent.


    Today, he decided to kill thirty.


    And then, his third opponent of the day appeared before him.


    The first thing that appeared was a blue and white long robe. There was an embroidery of a strange creature with a dragon head, a fish body, and wings on the robe.


    ¡°Flying Fish Python, it also has two horns. It is the Kunpeng Flying Fish Suit, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Taishi Shu again.¡±


    As the opponent¡¯s projected incarnation gradually solidified, a grin spread across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face. Compared to the weaklings, he preferred killing stronger opponents head-on.


    Although Taishi Shu was just at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, as the chief of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, her strength was so formidable that probably only he and Xingyu could say with certainty that they could win against her among the True Cultivators of Foundation Establishment who had graduated from the Pure Yang Academy.


    That¡¯s perfect. Another loss should help him vent much of the anger in his heart.


    Xiahou Weihuan thought with his hands behind his back, waiting arrogantly for the appearance of Taishi Shu.


    But soon he felt something was wrong.


    Only those who projected into the Little Red Sky for the first time would be this slow.


    Could it be that it¡¯s not Taishi Shu, but some other True Cultivator of Foundation Establishment from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy?


    Could it be they are sore losers and have called for reinforcements?


    After this thought flashed through his mind, Xiahou Weihuan frowned slightly. But he was extremely confident in himself. Except for Lan Haitian, he was not afraid of any other graduated chiefs from Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    However, it was exactly what he feared that came.


    When the incarnation of his opponent finally took shape, not only Xiahou Weihuan but everyone in the Immortal Sect who was watching him had their eyes wide-open.


    What¡¯s going on!


    How come this guy is here!


    Can¡¯t the Kunpeng Daoist Academy bear to lose?


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of your reputation, saying that you are the most likely genius to become invincible within the realm of Foundation Establishment after me.¡±


    Lan Haitian said with a gentle smile to Xiahou Weihuan.


    ¡°You have been invincible for sixty years and are about to reach Core Formation. If you lose to me, you might have a flaw in your Dao¡¯s heart. Is it worth it?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan, being one of the most outstanding graduates of the Pure Yang Academy in the last century, was only fifty years old, and faced Lan Haitian, who was almost seen as a legendary undefeated myth in the Foundation Establishment realm, was still thinking of ways to break his opponent¡¯s will.


    ¡°Not losing is the solution.¡±


    Lan Haitian said nonchalantly, then raised his right hand.


    Clang!


    Seeing this, Xiahou Weihuan didn¡¯t dare to neglect and immediately displayed his proudest Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    ¡­


    After the Purple Fire Sword Light flashed past and mutually neutralized his opponent¡¯s Yuan Yang Sword Qi, Chen Mobai blinked.


    Upon launching the Divine Slash, Wen Renzijue, who was already exhausted, could no longer hang on. His head burst open, he collapsed on the ground and disappeared from the field.


    One hundred and nineteen victories!


    Chen Mobai looked at his record. He needs only one more round to surpass Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor and enjoy the longest winning streak in the Little Red Sky.


    The feeling of personally breaking something is indescribably delightful.


    Just as Chen Mobai decided to go for it and match again, he suddenly stopped.


    His external physical body saw the push notifications on the phone.


    [Peak confrontation, Foundation Establishment unbeatable legend VS First Foundation Establishment of the Pure Yang Academy]


    [Shocking, Lan Haitian and Taishi Shu have such a relationship]


    [Bursting with anger for the sake of a beauty, why did Lan Haitian not mind bullying the weak to stand up for Taishi Shu, please click the following link]


    [Xiahou Weihuan is only one battle away from the throne of Foundation Establishment King, becoming the second Yuan Yang ancestor.]


    If he didn¡¯t know the ins and outs of Lan Haitian¡¯s visit to the Crimson City Cave, Chen Mobai almost believed these eye-catching headlines just by looking at them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this battle, there is no doubt, is extremely important.


    So, he decided to wait.


    Wait until Lan Haitian defeats Xiahou Weihuan, then seize the opportunity to go beyond the winning streak of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor, deal a double blow to the Pure Yang Academy.


    So, he exited the Little Red Sky and put his full attention on live streaming.


    Meanwhile, Sima Xingyu, who had scrapped his cultivation level of Foundation Establishment 8 layer and dropped his realm to Foundation Establishment 6 layer, was waiting for Chen Mobai to rematch, his face turned red, waiting left and right, but to no avail.

 Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian’s Strength_3

    Chapter 360: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength_3


    ¡°What¡¯s happening, could it be that someone else has queued up?¡±


    Simaxingyu asked anxiously, and the person in charge of technology at the Pure Yang Academy immediately contacted the operator of Little Red Sky to confirm the backend connection was not interrupted, ensuring that as long as Chen Mobai clicked to match, his next opponent would be him.


    ¡°He seems, he has withdrawn!¡±


    Soon, the manager of Little Red Sky sent a message. After seeing it, Simaxingyu could no longer hold back his injuries and vomited blood.


    ¡°There¡¯s bad news, senior.¡±


    Just then, another piece of bad news arrived.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Simaxingyu activated Pure Yang Scroll to suppress his Spiritual Power, then asked with patience.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou got matched with Lan Haitian!¡±


    Bang!


    Simaxingyu jumped up, knocking over the table in front of him, he immediately switched channels to observe Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s.


    As soon as he switched, he saw his idolized senior getting beaten.


    ¡°The Primordial Yang Sword Secret is indeed outstanding.¡±


    In Little Red Sky, Lan Haitian moved his hands, suppressing and tearing apart the sword light unleashed by Xiahou Weihuan. Then his whole person seemed to become a phantom, suddenly shifting in front of the latter.


    A heavy punch was thrown, although Xiahou Weihuan timely used sword technique to defend, he still heard the sound of his right hand fingers snapping.


    Like being hit by a heavy steel hammer, even if his sword light could cut open a mountain, at this moment, his sword was still broken.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a chance!¡±


    However, Xiahou Weihuan was also a peak practitioner of the Foundation Establishment realm, and the combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret enhanced his strength, allowing him to break free of the Yuan Magnetic Force of Lan Haitian in an instant.


    His eyes began to burn with blood, like two blazing red suns, his whole body seemed to burn with qi and blood, his already powerful aura broke through the boundary of the Foundation Establishment realm in an instant, reaching a terrifying realm.


    ¡°Burning Blood and Opening Sun Sword!¡±


    This was Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s desperate move, which required burning half of the essence blood in his body. If it weren¡¯t for the exemption in Little Red Sky, he would rather admit defeat than use this move.


    But at this moment, this became his only opportunity to shake things up.


    Feeling the vastly more majestic Spiritual Power than his peak state, Xiahou Weihuan extended his burning hands, revealing his skeletal fingers. He pretended to hold a bloody light sword and slashed heavily in the direction of the chasing Lan Haitian.


    With this sword thrust, the void trembled, the space twisted.


    A Core Formation expert¡¯s move would be no more than this.


    ¡°I might be able to win!¡±


    The thought just flashed across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s mind, he saw Lan Haitian stretching out his fair and slender right hand, gently grabbing his emitted bloody sword light.


    Then, Lan Haitian tightened his fingers.


    Crack!


    The bloody sword light was shattered.

    ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got?¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s sighing voice reached Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s ears, then his whole body swept past, and the latter¡¯s half body was crushed into blood mist and bone fragments under the sweep of his right hand.


    ¡°Is this guy really just at Foundation Establishment level?¡±


    After watching Lan Haitian cleanly and decisively defeat Xiahou Weihuan, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help widening his eyes.


    He had never seen anyone from the Tianhe Realm who was invincible at the Foundation Establishment level, but he imagined that even those who had grown up in bloody battles would not be as good as Lan Haitian.

 Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_1

    Chapter 361: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_1


    After Lan Haitian¡¯s victory over Xiahou Weihuan, he continued to compete in the Little Red Sky for thirteen matches.


    With his strength, he naturally had no rivals.


    The reason for only thirteen consecutive victories was not due to Lan Haitian being exhausted or uninterested in fighting.


    Rather, there were no late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in Little Red Sky who dared to compete.


    Although he could still get matched with some mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lan Haitian felt quite indifferent towards this. After defeating a Rank-5 sword cultivator in the thirteenth match, he chose not to engage in another match and exited the Little Red Sky.


    ¡°Zijing, is there any interesting place to visit in our Daoist Academy?¡±


    In the student council, Hua Zijing, who had watched two consecutive battles, received a call from Chen Mobai, who asked a rather peculiar question.


    ¡°Visit? Do you have a friend coming over?¡±


    As the vice-president and the head of the secretary¡¯s office of the student council, Hua Zijing instinctively thought of this upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    ¡°Yeah, you can set up the schedule and write up the itinerary for me, including lunch. The food should preferably be the characteristic delicacies of our Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°I am the head of the secretary¡¯s office in the student council, not your personal secretary. You should arrange for your own friend¡¯s visit.¡±


    Hua Zijing responded, sounding quite disgruntled.


    Ming Yu and a few others on the side were constantly winking at her, suggesting that it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to act as the president¡¯s secretary, as none of the student council members had an issue with it.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. My friend is technically coming on a private visit, but in reality, he¡¯s been invited by our Daoist Academy as a helper. Apart from visiting Crimson Mountain, we also plan to show him a great time to express our Daoist Academy¡¯s gratitude.¡±


    The words that came over the phone from Chen Mobai confused Hua Zijing a little.


    ¡°Our academy¡¯s gratitude? Who is it? This person must be quite an important figure.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lan Haitian!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Hua Zijing¡¯s hand trembled and her phone almost slipped out of her hand onto the floor.


    ¡°Lan¡­ Mr¡­ Are you¡­ friends with him?¡±


    Hua Zijing, who was usually decisive, calm, and collected, suddenly discovered that she was quite stuttering.


    ¡°Yes, during my entrance exam to the Daoist Academy, the representative from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute was him. We hit it off well and became friends-cum-confidants.¡±


    ¡°When Pure Yang Academy crossed the line this time, he heard about Taishi Shu¡¯s defeat and as he was nearby, he came to help us out.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a shame that Sima Xingyu did not dare to enter the Little Red Sky for a match, otherwise we would¡¯ve made short work of those from Pure Yang Academy today.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s regretful voice came through the phone, causing Hua Zijing and the rest of the student council to open their mouths wide in shock.


    ¡°I understand now, Mr. President. Don¡¯t worry, I will make sure everything is arranged perfectly, you¡¯ll be utterly satisfied.¡±


    In the end, Hua Zijing responded seriously.


    After hanging up the phone, she immediately started giving orders to the student council members to start preparing and purchasing ingredients.


    Ming Yuhua was just about to leave when he was caught by her sharp eyes. She ordered him to go with her to invite the master chef.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit too grand?¡±


    That day, Lan Haitian, who had just visited Che Yucheng, was brought around Crimson Mountain by Chen Mobai for half a day. After that, they came to the student council¡¯s dining room arranged by Hua Zijing.


    In the face of the lavish spread of food and the man and woman in black suits serving on either side, Lan Haitian was somewhat overwhelmed.


    ¡°You stood up for our Daoist Academy, no amount of grandeur is excessive. Here, this is the Transparent Spirit Fish grown in the underground currents of the Treasure Trove, I heard the taste is exquisite. I¡¯ve never tasted it before.¡±


    Seeing the dish being served, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but swallow.


    This Spirit Fish was something he had only heard of, rumored that a student had spent 1 academic credit to exchange for this delicacy.


    Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua on the side immediately helped to cut up the half-transparent crystal-like steamed fish and placed it in front of the two of them.


    After tasting it, both Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t stop praising it.


    There was no need for any added seasoning, the original taste after steaming was better than the Azure Blood Carps that Chen Mobai had eaten before.


    However, this fish only had taste, it could not enhance the Spiritual Root.


    After a series of dishes, Chen Mobai also brought out his own brewed Jade Bud Spirit Wine.


    Lan Haitian took a few sips.


    Everyone at the feast was pleased.


    After dinner, Che Yucheng came again.


    He took them to the core of the Treasure Trove where Duanmu Longrong was.


    ¡°Pick one.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong had already prepared five ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m truly unworthy of such treatment.¡±


    Lan Haitian felt a bit embarrassed. He had heard about the Treasure Trove from Chen Mobai in the morning and knew how precious these ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± were. Plus, he was merely following Nan Dou¡¯s orders, the Dance Tool Dao Academy did not really owe him anything.


    ¡°Heh, just take it, otherwise, Nan Dou will definitely say we¡¯re stingy when you go back.¡±


    Che Yucheng smiled and indicated for Lan Haitian to accept.

    ¡°Right, it¡¯s the give-and-take principle. This way, the bond between us can deepened. The four major Daoist Academies share a common lot. As you¡¯ve helped us this time, it¡¯s natural to present you a Rank-3 Magic Artifact as a sign of appreciation.¡±


    While Duanmu Longrong was speaking, she took out a Device Piece and handed it to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Well then, I will not decline any more.¡±


    Lan Haitian picked up all five ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± and played around with them. He also tried to inject his Spiritual Power into them to sense the attributes of the artifacts within.


    Chen Mobai was initially a bystander, but Che Yucheng gave him a meaningful look. The master-student pair shared an understanding, and he immediately understood his master¡¯s intention. This was to go all out for the occasion, to be thoroughly kind to the guest.

 Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_2

    Chapter 362: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_2


    It would also grant him a personal favor.


    ¡°The seal on this item blocks divine sense and spiritual power. Only the Art of Spiritual Eyes can see directly through it.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and then described what he saw in detail.


    ¡°You possess a True Spirit Root with dual attributes of earth and metal. This Star Concentrating Stone or this Sky Spider Hand is more suitable for you.¡±


    In front of Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai compared the images from the Map of Treasures, asked about Lan Haitian¡¯s spiritual root, and then gave his own opinion.


    ¡°If it¡¯s for combat, naturally the Sky Spider Hand is more suitable.¡±


    After Lan Haitian said this, he chose the Star Concentrating Stone.


    ¡°But in fact, I am not someone who enjoys battle. The reason I joined the Heaven Patching Group before was merely to obtain resources for Core Formation. After retirement, I probably will be casually fishing and gardening, so I choose this.¡±


    The Star Concentrating Stone is a Rank-3 lower-grade magic artifact, mined from the extremely northern lands of the immortals.


    The place naturally attracts meteor falls over time. After millions of years of impact, the permafrost layers have absorbed the power of the celestial stars. It was also nurtured at a yuan magnet pole, and then further refined by an artifact refiner from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which made it a Rank-3 item just based on the material alone.


    Most importantly, this Star Concentrating Stone is just an embryo of a magic artifact, which can be refined by anyone into their own legal treasure.


    If Lan Haitian reaches Core Formation, he can use his own elixir fire to refine the Star Concentrating Stone into the magic artifact shape he likes.


    For this reason, even though the Sky Spider Hand is a Rank-3 intermediate-grade magic artifact, Lan Haitian still chose the Star Concentrating Stone.


    Apart from him saying that he does not wish to battle anymore, this reason is probably also included.


    ¡°Thank you for your academy¡¯s gift.¡±


    Although Lan Haitian has used many Rank-3 magic artifacts from the immortal doors in the Heaven Patching Group over the years, as a cultivator on the verge of Core Formation, his desire for his own legal treasure is incomparable to any Rank-3 item.


    The Star Concentrating Stone contains the power of celestial stars and earth magnets, very suitable for his spiritual root. When Lan Haitian felt it for a while after getting his hand on it, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of joy due to his realm.


    ¡°With your foundation, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, you might join us soon enough. Consider this as establishing good karma beforehand.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke his mind.


    Lan Haitian once again expressed his thanks, bid farewell to Duanmu Longrong, and the three of them returned the way they came, leaving the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°When you visit the Huayang Dongtian one day, I will properly entertain you.¡±


    At the entrance to Crimson Mountain, Lan Haitian sincerely said this when saying goodbye.


    ¡°Certainly.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded with a smile.


    Next to him were Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua who followed him over. At this moment, they finally couldn¡¯t help themselves and went forward to ask Lan Haitian for an autograph.


    In the eyes of these proud sons of heaven from the four major Daoist academies, being a celebrity meant nothing.


    Only someone like Lan Haitian, a True Cultivator, was worthy of their admiration.


    After saying goodbye, Chen Mobai returned to the first building.


    ¡°Has he left?¡±


    ¡°He said he is still going to stay in the vicinity of the Crimson City cave for a while to guard against Xiahou Weihuan projecting back into the Little Red Sky after he leaves.¡±


    Che Yucheng listened, then nodded.


    ¡°He can probably reach Core Formation. This Star Concentrating Stone is just right for him.¡±


    ¡°Master, I feel with his talent, shouldn¡¯t his success rate of reaching Core Formation be 100%?¡±


    ¡°What do you know? There is no such thing as 100% in this world. Moreover, reaching Core Formation is not the same as Foundation Establishment, which can be assisted by Critical Techniques. If it fails, even though there are pill powers, your life can be saved, but your realm will drop, there will be a significant loss of elemental energy, and there may not be a second chance for Core Formation.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head, uttering a statement that caused Chen Mobai to worry.


    Even someone with a foundation like Lan Haitian who also received the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, there is still a possibility of failure.


    Then if he with such a weak foundation, wouldn¡¯t his future be even more uncertain.


    ¡°Master, then what do you think. What are the chances for him reaching Core Formation?¡±


    ¡°About fifty percent.¡±


    ¡°That little?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s already at a high level, his Technique of Turning into Gold has cultivated to the Heavenly Spiritual Root realm, and combined with the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill and the solid foundation of his Six Defense Sutra, they are almost comparable to those innate Heavenly Spiritual Roots.¡±


    With Che Yucheng saying so, Chen Mobai was reminded.


    The Heavenly Spiritual Root for Core Formation has a success possibility of 50%, is there a difference between this posterior cultivation and the prior one?


    ¡°Of course there is, or else why would the Heavenly Spiritual Roots get an exemption to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies? The Heavenly Spiritual Roots that are innate have the favor of the Heavenly Way, which not only can easily help in Foundation Establishment, but also during Core Formation, there¡¯s a high probability of Enlightenment.¡±


    Enlightenment?


    It should be similar to the state after taking the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was thinking this way in his mind, but he was also pretending to be a genius, so he dared not ask this question in front of Che Yucheng.


    ¡°The Heavenly Spiritual Roots promoted in the acquired way, although not as good as the innate, still have the advantage for Core Formation, and are even more friendly with the corresponding attributes of nature¡¯s spiritual energy.¡±


    Che Yucheng did not notice the change in Chen Mobai¡¯s expression and kept on speaking.


    ¡°That¡¯s why the cultivators who have reached Perfection in Foundation Establishment from the Immortal Sect, if their lifespan is long enough, will generally try to enhance their spiritual roots corresponding to their Cultivation Techniques to over 80 points, which can increase the probability of Core Formation by about 20%.¡±


    After listening to Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but express that he had learned something new.


    He had just completed his Foundation Establishment and had not looked for Core Formation resources yet. Today, he learned about this thing because of Lan Haitian, and he couldn¡¯t help but praise himself for his self-discipline, dedicating extra time every day to the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body by using Spirit Stones.


    Moreover, he also had to thank Che Yucheng for reminding him. If he hadn¡¯t urged him to build up his base, he probably wouldn¡¯t have gotten this opportunity to obtain the Fire Spirit Body.


    Because of this, his Fire Spirit Root was elevated to 63 points. Just by completing the Body of Five Yangs and the Body of Six Yangs, his Fire Spirit Root can be elevated to 81 points, just stepping into the threshold of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    By calculating this way, just through the Dual Attribute Technique and the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he could have a 50% probability of Core Formation, which is comparable to Qing Nu, who has the innate Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    If he could get the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pills from the Immortal Sects again, then it would basically be a sure shot for him towards his Core Formation.


    The more he thought, the more excited he became.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but wish to catch up with Lan Haitian, complete Foundation Establishment, then make a Core formation in one go, and reach the peak.


    ¡°By the way, you can start preparing to break the record of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor¡¯s straight wins.¡±


    At this time, Che Yucheng¡¯s words brought Chen Mobai back to reality.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this an easy task? I¡¯ll probably just have to fight one more round with Lu Qiulong.¡±


    Chen Mobai shrugged his shoulders, and he had to say, of all the battles he had in Little Red Sky, Lu Qiulong was the most threatening. If Lu Qiulong could fully control Ling, he might be a tough opponent.


    ¡°No, your opponent will be Sima Xingyu.¡±


    But Che Yucheng smirked and named a person Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect.


    ¡°He¡¯s only at the 8th level of Foundation Establishment, how could he be matched with me?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked confused.


    ¡°He self-funded his cultivation level to the 6th level of Foundation Establishment, then the operators of Little Red Sky can match you with him.¡±


    ¡°So what if he wins? Pure Yang Academy would lose all its face.¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned, if he were from the Pure Yang Academy, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold his head up on the Internet for the rest of his life because of this.


    Probably everyone in the Hundred and Twenty Mansions could taunt the students of the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Saving the face of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor is one thing, the main reason is that Nangong Xuanyu was provoked by me previously and made a bet with me.¡±


    ¡°A bet?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. What bet had led the Pure Yang Academy to such a shameless state?


    ¡°The operation of Little Red Sky can only cover the territories that the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain passes through, but Gongye Zhixu wants to fully activate this Spiritual Treasure and cover all the blessed lands and caves. In addition to Rank-5 Spirit Veins, a Rank-5 Magic Artifact is needed as a core to rely on.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Previously, Gongye Zhixu¡¯s intention was not to trouble two with the same matter, to borrow our Daoist Academy¡¯s Nine Dragon Cauldron, which was also of suitable attributes. The Dean initially agreed, but he still wanted to discuss it with us, so he did not agree on the spot.¡±


    ¡°After I came to know about it, I indicated to the Dean to let me deal with this matter completely.¡±


    ¡°When Pure Yang Academy revealed its ambition, I called Gongye Zhixu and said that the Primordial Yang Sword of Pure Yang Academy was also Rank-5. It had been sustained by the Spirit Stones of the Immortal Gate for years to keep it from falling in grade. This was also a huge expense, and the three major palaces had always had grumbles about it. If the Primordial Yang Sword could be used for Little Red Sky, then this financial expenditure of the Immortal Gate would also be justified.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he blinked his eyes.


    He needed to learn more from the methods of his teacher.

 Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_1

    Chapter 363: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_1


    ¡°Did the Pure Yang Academy agree?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Although no one dared to use the Primordial Yang Sword at this present moment, it was one of the rank-5 flying swords that the cultivator sects could count on and was also a symbol of Pure Yang Academy.


    It was precisely because of owning this flying sword that the Pure Yang Academy could confidently rank in the top three among the ten major academies.


    ¡°Of course they didn¡¯t agree, but sometimes you just can¡¯t win against the odds.¡±


    ¡°Although Gongye Zhixu is the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall, if our Daoist Academy doesn¡¯t cooperate, this Little Red Sky won¡¯t be able to start.¡±


    ¡°I just proposed it once, but he must have thought it was the dean¡¯s idea, so he invited Nangong Xuanyu and me to discuss it. Just at that time, you were consecutively winning in Little Red Sky, so he proposed to use you as a wager.¡±


    ¡°If you can break the winning streak record of the ancestor Yuan Yang, then the Primordial Yang Sword will be used as the core of Little Red Sky; if not, we will still take the Nine Dragon Cauldron from the depths of the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained with a slight smile, revealing some hidden aspects to this. Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    He never expected that he would determine the ownership of a rank-5 legal treasure.


    ¡°With Sima Xingyu self-crippled his cultivation level, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be my match.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very confident in himself.


    During Sima Xingyu¡¯s peak period, he was considered to be the most talented person in Pure Yang Academy for a hundred years, second only to Xiahou Weihuan. He was also the top configuration of the Pure Yang Secret and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, and he even defeated the Chief of the Repairing Heaven Institute in a direct confrontation.


    If he were to duel with this kind of opponent, the chances of winning indeed would not be high.


    However, at the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage Six, sudden changes to his realm would certainly cause problems in controlling his spiritual power and sword qi. If he had these flaws when facing Chen Mobai, there was a high likelihood that he would lose.


    ¡°You¡¯re oversimplifying things.¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai a bewildering response.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, master?¡±


    ¡°In the cultivator world, Sima Xingyu willingly crippled his cultivation level back to Foundation Establishment Stage Six. However, due to the uniqueness of the Little Red Sky and the existing character template of Sima Xingyu, he will be able to use his peak strength at Foundation Establishment Stage Eight when he faces you.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but gasp.


    How is he supposed to fight this!


    Although he did have some tricks up his sleeve, facing this kind of opponent, his odds of winning were likely to be one or two out of ten.


    After all, Sima Xingyu was not an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition to having a top configuration of cultivation techniques and sword secrets, he, like Xiahou Weihuan, had also reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission.


    The biggest trick up Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve when he could defeat opponents above his cultivation level was his sword light, but his opponent also possessed this, perhaps even at a deeper realm.


    Although he could use Dual-phase Rotation to temporarily elevate Pure Yang Scroll to Foundation Establishment Stage Two, in face of Sima Xingyu, a peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage Eight, it was utterly insufficient.


    ¡°Master, doesn¡¯t that mean things look bad for me?¡±


    Chen Mobai started to panic. He didn¡¯t care much about his win-loss record, but if this could affect the important matters of Che Yucheng and Daoist Academy, he would definitely feel guilty.


    ¡°Relax, now that I know this, how could I let Nangong Xuanyu have his way?¡±


    Che Yucheng calmly brewed a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.


    ¡°What¡¯s your plan, master?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, eager to learn more.


    But Che Yucheng simply shake his head, refusing to say more.


    ¡°You just go on fighting your matches, I¡¯ll take care of the rest. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but only three people know about this situation. It¡¯s better this way to avoid attracting Nangong Xuanyu¡¯s attention and make him fall into the trap.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was eager for knowledge, he stopped questioning since Che Yucheng had said so.


    ¡°Can I enter Little Red Sky now and start matching directly?¡±


    Curiosity prompted Chen Mobai to think of the fastest way to find out the truth.


    Che Yucheng nodded, signaling that it was not a problem.


    Lan Haitian, who had just left Crimson Mountain, was on his way. Suddenly, with a subtle smile, he instructed Lin Yin, who was driving, and then leaned back on the rear seat to close his eyes, entering Little Red Sky at the same time.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and clicked on the match button at the top right corner.


    Instantly, his log-in message was forwarded to the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s side through the operators of Little Red Sky.


    ¡°We¡¯ve been waiting for this.¡±


    In the room, the pale-faced Sima Xingyu stood up, facing Xiahou Weihuan, whose face was tense.


    After losing to Lan Haitian, Xia Hou Weihuan, the strongest cultivator of Foundation Establishment of Pure Yang Academy for the past hundred years, no longer appeared as arrogant and confident as at the beginning.


    ¡°The future of the Academy is entrusted to you.¡±


    However, at this time, Xiahou Weihuan, who was in charge of the situation, could only forcefully cheer up. He led the others over to Sima Xingyu who had injured himself by self-crippling his cultivation level.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sima Xingyu took a scarlet pill which Pure Yang Academy had kept as a secret medicine. It could restore him to his peak state in a short time and even surpass his previous self, reaching Foundation Establishment Stage Nine.


    Plus the manual adjustments by the operators of Little Red Sky, once he entered, he would be matched with Chen Mobai to complete this final sniping mission.


    ¡°Leave it to me, I must win!¡±


    After definitely stating these words, Sima Xingyu projected himself into Little Red Sky.


    The power of the pill began to function. He could feel that the spiritual power in his Dantian and Qi sea was growing stronger and soon it filled his whole body. He even felt a sense of swelling as if he was about to burst.

 Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_2

    Chapter 364: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_2


    ¡°Such formidable power, is this the normal state of Senior Xiahou?¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve crippled my cultivation level this time, if I slay Chen Mobai, I can then use the academy¡¯s elixirs to heal my wounds. Perhaps this will allow me to break through the bottleneck to complete the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s a blessing in disguise.¡±


    With these thoughts, the depression accumulated in Sima Xingyu¡¯s heart due to his self-crippling cultivation dissipated.


    The pair of sword-like eyes under his brow became resolute, overflowing with a torrent of sword intent that was about to burst out from his body, urgently needing an opponent to vent.


    ¡°Prepare to die, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Soon, the fog in front of him cleared, and the opponent arranged long ago by Little Red Sky appeared in front of Sima Xingyu.


    Then, his eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai widened his eyes, looking at the tall and thin young man with dark circles under his eyes in front of him. He clicked on his avatar, checked his information, and found he was merely at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Where is the promised Sima Xingyu?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect I would be matched against a Battle Law Victory from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. But according to your rules, should I receive your first sword strike before I reveal my name?¡±


    The young man with dark circles looked at Chen Mobai. He didn¡¯t expect this either and rubbed his hands a bit excitedly.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally understood why Che Yucheng was so confident and sure about letting him in to break the record.


    The Pure Yang Academy side thought everything was settled, believing that as long as Sima Xingyu was guarding the final stage, no matter how many wins were accumulated before, in the end, there would only be one outcome ¨C defeat.


    But they did not expect that Gongye Zhixu might have already negotiated a deal with Che Yucheng in private, selling out the Pure Yang Academy early on.


    However, one cannot blame Nangong Xuanyu too much. He underestimated the Gold Core cultivators standing at the top level of the immortal gate.


    Even if he knew about it beforehand, he probably would be helpless to resist. After all, if Gongye Zhixu and Dance Tool Dao Academy joined forces to pressure, the Pure Yang academy still needed to give up the Primordial Yang Sword.


    Yet, even facing such a scenario, at least they would go down fighting. Moreover, they would not let Chen Mobai easily break the record by continuously winning all the way.


    Perhaps Sima Xingyu had already made an early appearance after a hundred consecutive victories, disregarding any shame.


    Although the master of Little Red Sky was Gongye Zhixu, if the end result was to give up the Primordial Yang Sword, Nangong Xuanyu would undoubtedly fight to maintain at least the winning streak record of his own ancestor under the worst result.


    Unfortunately, the reveal of this game arrangement only came to light at this stage.


    As Chen Mobai was realizing how much more he needed to learn, he thought about Sima Xingyu, the formidable opponent he was supposed to face.


    He wondered who Sima Xingyu was matched with now?


    But regardless of the opponent, after the joint efforts of Che Yucheng and Gongye Zhixu, everything was already destined.


    Even if Sima Xingyu hacked his opponent to pieces, it wouldn¡¯t change the fact that he was about to break the Primordial Yang Ancestor¡¯s winning streak in Little Red Sky.


    At this moment, he finally remembered that someone was still in the magic duel against him.


    ¡°As the opponent in my record-breaking match, I will allow you to leave your name first.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, the young man opposite with dark circles under his eyes solemnly performed an ancient etiquette, then stated his name.


    ¡°Graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, Tian Wenguang, I seek guidance from the Battle Law Victory!¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai gently nodded.


    Then, he widened his eyes again, scrutinizing the tall, thin, and seemingly depleted opponent in front of him, showing a face of understanding.


    ¡°Do you know me?¡±


    Seeing the look on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, Tian Wenguang was a bit surprised.


    Although he was a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, had successfully cultivated to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment, and served as an andrologist in a big hospital in a certain cave world, only people in a specific field knew him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about you.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t mention that he had seen the post about special training method for the boundary spells that Tian Wenguang set up initially. If he said it out loud, it would probably embarrass the other party immensely.


    ¡°I know I¡¯m not your opponent, but as a very meaningful battle, I still hope to give it my all to live up to the luck of being matched with you.¡±


    After earnestly saying this, Tian Wenguang¡¯s hands crossed, his spiritual power formed into surgical knives held in his palms, and he began to deploy his most formidable attack spell.


    Chen Mobai knew that the person in front of him was a genius who managed to cultivate to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment and matched him in Little Red Sky surely had a good winning rate.


    It was probably to avoid the pressure of public opinion, so the opponent that was matched with him this time should be randomly selected as normally.


    It¡¯s good this way. If the opponent had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even if I broke the record, people would doubt its authenticity.


    The five surgical knives emitting cold light are as fierce as five strands of sword qi.


    Chen Mobai extended his five fingers, transforming the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light into a light shield in front of him.


    It was like stabbing into cotton, the five Spiritual Power surgical knives slowed down gradually after entering the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light, eventually coming to a complete stop right in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    With a flick of his hand, the purple fire flickered, burning them to nothing.


    At that moment, Tian Wenguang approached him from the right hand side, his right hand palm shining with a golden light and transforming into a longsword with a side slash.


    ¡°His speed is not bad, almost as fast as Dai Shiqing.¡±


    Chen Mobai appraised internally, then extended his left sword finger, the Purple Fire Sword Light burst forth, clashing with Tian Wenguang¡¯s golden longsword.


    Crack!


    The longsword in his palm shattered, and his whole body was sent flying backwards.


    After two moves, Chen Mobai had already sized up his opponent¡¯s strength.


    While he might stand a chance against Dai Shiqing, compared to Lu Qiulong, he fell short of the mark. Had he crossed swords with him before he established his foundation, perhaps it would have been somewhat challenging.


    But in his present eyes.


    The man just seemed a bit weak.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hold back anymore. To prevent further complications, he immediately applied his strongest method.


    Through the amplification of the Sun Raising Technique, the Fire Spirit Body made the Qingyang Fire Seed blaze vehemently, transforming into a ball of Purple Green Flame, a dazzling Sword Light bursting forth from his palm.


    He also had an ace up his sleeve.


    In the Little Red Sky, items with physical forms can¡¯t be projected, but the Qingyang Fire Seed, a pure earthly energy, could be represented perfectly.


    Spells with huge side effects can be used unrestricted here, so Chen Mobai can use the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡± to detonate the power of the Qingyang Fire Seed to set off the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    This technique, even if it were to meet Sima Xingyu, he would probably be wounded if caught off guard.


    But now it was used on Tian Wenguang.


    The effect was much better than he had imagined.


    With a swipe of the Sword Light, Tian Wenguang, who had constructed a seven to eight-layered golden light shield with his spirit power, was vaporized along with his projected form under the defense.


    ¡°Ding!¡±


    The sound was automatically produced by the system after a victorious Magic Duel in the Little Red Sky.


    After Chen Mobai broke the record, he felt emptied seeing the blank virtual field ¨C nothing was left after it was swept by his Sword Light.


    After all, his opponent was a bit weak.


    The excitement of breaking the record diminished.


    But, it still felt awesome!


    Feeling the genuine satisfaction and accomplishment surging from deep within, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Everyone from the thirty six heavens and seventy two fortunate lands of the Immortal Sect watched as the young chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy broke a two thousand year old record. Even though they predicted it, they were still greatly awed by the sight.


    Could this be the start of a new legend?


    ¡­


    ¡°Boss, did you help that kid block Sima Xingyu and the others? Does he know?¡±


    Driving the car, Lin Yin saw Lan Haitian open his eyes and couldn¡¯t help asking.


    The screen in her car, plus her own mobile phone, captured the scene ¨C Chen Mobai had broken the record of the Primal Yang Ancestor and Lan Haitian killed everyone daring to enter the Little Red Sky.


    After the image of Chen Mobai¡¯s match appeared, seeing that his opponent was not Sima Xingyu, Xiahou Weihuan, or any other Pure Yang Academy cultivators who have achieved Foundation Establishment, they went wild.

    They spared no expense and sacrificed their cultivation levels to try to correct this error.


    But Lan Haitian was waiting in front of them.


    With each person from the Pure Yang Academy that entered, he slaughtered them, killing them in endless rounds until Xiahou Weihuan, Sima Xingyu, and the rest were driven to despair.


    ¡°Consider it returning a favor. Besides, sometimes when you volunteer, it becomes overly deliberate.¡±


    Playing with the Star Concentrating Stone in his hand, Lan Haitian said with a smile.

 Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: Chapter 284: The Reaction of Former Classmates_1

    Chapter 365: Chapter 284: The Reaction of Former Classmates_1


    Mountain Sea Academy.


    On top of a sword peak, Yan Feng was sitting in front of a stone sword several meters high, putting down his cellphone with a thoughtful expression.


    ¡°Feng, during your entrance exam, did you really fight evenly with this Magic Duel Champion from the Dance Instrument Dao Academy?¡±


    Next to Yan Feng sat a man and a woman, one of whom asked in disbelief.


    Today it was their turn to come in front of the stone sword and cultivate their internal Sword Qi. After their cultivation was over, they were watching the Magic Duel live broadcast on Little Red Sky that was just pushed on their phones.


    ¡°Believe it or not, you can search online for the entrance exam video of Danxia City¡¯s cohort, look for the semifinals, it¡¯s my peak showdown with him.¡±


    At first, Yan Feng was very unconvinced of his loss to Chen Mobai. With a strong determination, he came to the number one mountain-sea academy for sword cultivators, aiming to master earth-shattering swordsmanship and prove that he should have been the top of Danxia City¡¯s cohort.


    You should know, at that time, Yan Feng¡¯s scores were enough to get into any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, as long as he could rank first in the Magic Duel during the entrance exam.


    Not only him, but also Gong Xiangyu, even Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing.


    Any of those four cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, could have replaced Chen Mobai and become the favored prodigy of the Four Great Daoist Academies, had they reached the end.


    This is precisely why every genius who fell at the hands of Chen Mobai in that cohort was full of resentment, unwillingness, and refusal to concede defeat.


    They all believed that they lost to Chen Mobai not because the opponent was too strong, but because they made serious mistakes during the Magic Duel, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity and reverse the situation.


    If they had the chance to do it again, both Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu believed they could win one hundred percent.


    Even Kong Feichen was thinking a few years ago that if Yang Jing hadn¡¯t insisted on going to the finals and it had been him who faced Chen Mobai in the duel, he had several strategies that could have won him the match.


    However, when the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Foundation Establishment was received, this idea made them all waver.


    Although they were students of the top ten academies, they were all enrolled with Daoist Academy score lines and thus received core treatment upon admission. The edge method was also passed down to them. Before the Foundation Establishment, their resources and cultivation techniques were nearly the same as the students of the Daoist Academy.


    That¡¯s exactly why they knew how difficult it is to establish a foundation.


    Kong Feichen, who had the greatest talent, had a heart demon which led to his initial failure in establishing a foundation.


    As for Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu, they only comprehended the edge method last year, and by now they have reached the Condensing Qi into Liquid stage. Even though it is as such, their progress is already very close to the average of the four Great Daoist Academies.


    According to Yan Feng¡¯s own estimation, he should be able to successfully establish his foundation by next year.


    Knowing the difficulty of the Foundation Establishment, their inner assessment of Chen Mobai, who has successfully established a foundation, begins to change.


    Perhaps, he is the real genius.


    Yan Feng even wondered if during the entrance exam, because his talent was better and his resources were more abundant, he was able to just barely duel evenly with Chen Mobai due to him being at a higher realm.


    At that time, he began to doubt himself.


    Not long ago, when Little Red Sky started up, and Chen Mobai, as the chief of Dance Instrument Dao Academy, swept through the cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, Yan Feng confirmed his thoughts.


    Yes, it¡¯s exactly that!


    Gong Xiangyu, who refused to accept defeat the most and thought that his love had been snatched away, lost all his arrogance after seeing the footage of Chen Mobai defeating Lu Qiulong.


    As a student of the True Spiritual Academy, he knew very well what the name Lu Qiulong stood for.


    That was their academy¡¯s most promising genius to reach Core Formation stage in the past hundred years.


    As for the others, they didn¡¯t even need to be mentioned.


    And after Yan Feng saw Chen Mobai officially break the winning streak record of Elder Yuan Yang, his inner thoughts changed again.


    [I was actually able to force that Magic Duel Champion into a corner, making it so that he could only barely beat me by one move!]


    If before Yan Feng felt humiliated because he lost to Chen Mobai and couldn¡¯t go to any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, then now he only felt relieved.


    ¡°It¡¯s really there.¡±


    At this time, his female classmate had found the entrance exam video of Danxia City¡¯s cohort, the peak showdown between Yan Feng and Chen Mobai during the semi-finals.


    ¡°You actually used a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, you wastrel!¡±


    The female classmate was Yan Feng¡¯s girlfriend at Mountain Sea Academy. After watching the video, her eyes widened in disbelief. She was so hurt that she couldn¡¯t catch her breath and almost fainted.


    ¡°What, you used a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman and still didn¡¯t achieve invincibility under Qi Cultivation?!¡±


    The other male classmate couldn¡¯t help exclaiming when he heard this, looking at Yan Feng with disbelief.


    ¡°What do you know? That¡¯s the Magic Duel Champion. His talent in combat is monstrous. Any small mistake will be seen through by his piercing eyes, leading to defeat,¡± Yan Feng retorted, starting to talk tough.

    ¡°It seems to be the case, after all, your opponent then was him.¡±


    The male classmate¡¯s gaze turned to the young man in a red and black robe, who was at the center of the Little Red Sky¡¯s live broadcast screen on his phone. After seeing him, he couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The title Magic Duel Champion was a nickname that Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents during the entrance exam in Danxia City spread out.


    They were distributed among the major academies of various sects, and now, when Little Red Sky was at its hottest, the news spread quickly and soon everyone knew.


    The Crimson-robed True Person who was sitting in Danxia City could not have imagined that a nickname that he casually bragged about has now become Chen Mobai¡¯s title.

 Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: Chapter 284 Reaction of Classmate from the Past_2

    Chapter 366: Chapter 284 Reaction of Classmate from the Past_2


    The canteen of the Nature Studies Academy.


    Yan Bingxuan, who was eating alone in a corner, put down her chopsticks after seeing Chen Mobai break the record. Her normally indifferent face flashed an incredibly beautiful smile with a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth.


    This made many male students watching the scene from the next table, absolutely amazed.


    She was so stunning when she smiled!


    The Repair-the-Sky Group.


    Qing Nu looked at the youthful and ambitious young man on the screen. After Kong Feichen and Yang Jing left, a trace of pride that even she herself did not notice appeared in her indifferent eyes.


    Next to her, Zhongli Yi watched with a thoughtful look on his face.


    Chen Mobai knew nothing about all of this. After he broke the record, he logged out immediately.


    ¡°Teacher, I haven¡¯t disappointed you.¡±


    After opening his eyes in the office, he said to Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Good, you can take a good rest for a while and concentrate on improving the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s cultivation level using the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. The Alchemy Department has just made a whole pool of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water during the holiday. Go and receive 100 units of it. I¡¯ve already given Luo Hezheng a heads up.¡±


    Che Yucheng looked at his disciple with satisfaction.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also very happy to hear it.


    When it comes to Immortal Dao Alchemy, the water method is supreme, and ¡°Qi-replenishing Spirit Water¡± is the best-selling spiritual water in all Immortal Dao pharmacies.


    The formula for this kind of spiritual water is simple, and the three main medicinal spirit plants are easy to find. Depending on the grade of the main and auxiliary medicinal materials, it can be refined into Rank-3 at its highest.


    However, the four auxiliary materials are industrialized spiritual materials, and Rank-1 can be produced by small workshops, but those above Rank-2 can only be produced by large pharmaceutical factories.


    By coincidence, among the six largest pharmaceutical factories of Immortal Dao: Golden Cup, Lingxiao, Wide White, Cicada Clothing, Shang Lu, and Sky Blue.


    ¡°Wide White¡± belongs to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The person in charge of running the Wide White Pharmaceutical Factory is none other than the head of the logistics department of the academy, Luo Hezheng.


    Every student in the academy has dealt with Luo Hezheng. At the end of each year, they find him to exchange their study points for the spiritual objects they need.


    Generally speaking, the students of the academy can only receive rewards and make exchanges at the end of the term.


    However, it¡¯s different since Che Yucheng has already spoken to him.


    ¡°Take it and sign here.¡±


    Luo Hezheng¡¯s office is also in Building 1. Chen Mobai went straight down to his office, where Luo Hezheng was waiting for him. As soon as he walked in, Luo Hezheng handed him a large bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that had a capacity of one litre.


    Each bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water has about 10 millilitres. Chen Mobai is taking a lot, so Luo Hezheng didn¡¯t bother to fill the small glass tubes and directly gave him a large volume bottle. Chen Mobai weighed it and felt that it should be more than 1 litre.


    It might have been a generous act on Luo Hezheng¡¯s part.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Chen Mobai happily took the bottle and signed his name on the receiving form.


    He glanced at the reason for receiving, which read: ¡°Reward for bringing honor to the academy by completing the task assigned by the dean.¡±


    How did it involve the dean again?


    Chen Mobai had never seen the Nascent Soul Senior in person in his life. Although he had seen his image in video material, he wanted to see him in person if he had the chance.


    After all, Cultivators at the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± realm are comparable to Demi Immortals.


    They are almost at the end of the Immortal Cultivation journey in the Mortal World.


    ¡°You should drink a bottle¡¯s worth once every three days at most, and use it sparingly. If this pool of Spirit Water was not freshly made, it would have been grabbed up a long time ago.¡±


    Luo Hezheng reminded him. The pure spiritual energy contained in the Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water far exceeds that of Rank-1. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current cultivation realm, he could only refine it once every three days.


    ¡°Teacher Luo, can I buy some more myself?¡±


    After putting away the large bottle, Chen Mobai thickened his skin and asked.


    ¡°No, I pride myself on being fair in all my dealings. If all the resources are taken away by you geniuses, wouldn¡¯t the lower-ranked cultivators have no chance.¡±


    Luo Hezheng shook his head, refusing adamantly.


    Chen Mobai brought honor to the academy in Little Red Sky, and Che Yucheng¡¯s requisition for a reward of one hundred bottles of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was only natural. Luo Hezheng had no objections about that.


    But apart from Chen Mobai, there are also some hardworking teachers in the academy waiting for this pool of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Once these reserved allocations are distributed, the remaining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water won¡¯t be kept for students to exchange at the end of the term. Instead, it will be sold at the flagship store of the Dance Tool Dao Academy at the start of the academic term, as well as in the Wide White pharmacy offline.


    Only when there is an excess stock will students be allowed to exchange at the end of the term.


    However, this is unlikely, as these things sell out within two or three days as soon as they¡¯re listed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The main reason is that all Foundation Establishment cultivators can use it, and the price is not expensive ¨C 20,000 Good Deed Points for a lower-grade Rank-2 bottle ¨C hence it¡¯s affordable.


    Let¡¯s not talk about the other academies, but at least the Dance Tool Dao Academy has always adhered to the principle of allocating some resources to the lower-ranked cultivators over the past five thousand years. This ensures that there is room for mobility between the upper and lower levels of the Immortal Gate.


    If the students of the academy want Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, the most they can do is collect materials and let the Alchemy Department refine them, or know the listing date in advance and wait to snap them up.


    Luo Hezheng can only turn a blind eye to this, at least each flagship store of immortality on the Immortal Gate¡¯s website has restricted the purchase quantity for individuals, ensuring that at least some of it can flow into the market.


    After thanking Luo Hezheng once again, Chen Mobai left Building 1 with a large bottle of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water in his arms.

 Chapter 367 - Chapter 367: Chapter 284: Reaction of Former Classmates_3

    Chapter 367: Chapter 284: Reaction of Former Classmates_3


    The value of the bottle is not expensive, it¡¯s probably worth about 10 credits.


    However, most of the items that can be exchanged for credits in the Daoist Academy are cheap and good quality. Most students deeply regret not having enough credits.


    After all, there are numerous items stored in the Academy vault that have better cost performance than the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, especially the Elixirs.


    Like the ¡°God Returning Pill¡± that Chen Mobai exchanged at the end of last year.


    It was also priced at 10 credits, but it almost perfected his Divine Manipulation Technique, its value was definitely higher than that of the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Earlier, since Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll was still not at the Foundation Establishment, and he had a quicker way to advance in the method of Immortality, he did not focus on enhancing his Spirit Power Breakthrough.


    Now, having reached the Foundation Establishment in understanding Dao, and having acquired the Fire Spirit Body and Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, he could surpass the bottleneck between realms more easily than average people, making this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water particularly crucial.


    His Magic Duel experience with Little Red Sky made Chen Mobai deeply realize his low cultivation level.


    He felt like he was letting down his kind mentor, Qing Ping.


    If he were presently on the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, he wouldn¡¯t need to bully nobodies, but could move straight to the higher-ranked battles.


    He wouldn¡¯t need Lan Haitian to step in to suppress Pure Yang Academy¡¯s Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    Thoughts swirling, Chen Mobai finally remembered the original reason he wanted to attend the exchange meeting.


    ¡°The exchange? It¡¯s going on as usual, right on the square where we first arrived. In addition to the Crimson City Dongtian¡¯s fourteen universities, three Great Daoist Academies and nine Great Cultivation Institutes are also invited. Do you want to go check it out?¡±


    In the three-story Western-style building of the Student Council, Chen Mobai called over Hua Zijing to ask, and she gave him the good news.


    ¡°Of course, my original intention was to interact with the geniuses from other universities, to learn more knowledge by drawing analogies.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention that his main intent was to find someone from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to ask about rejuvenating his lifespan.


    ¡°Then you go ahead.¡±


    Hua Zijing left him with that and turned to leave, but Chen Mobai called her to stop.


    ¡°I¡¯m not too familiar, how about you come with me.¡±


    [Why should I?] If this happened a few days ago, Hua Zijing might have straight up asked why she had to accompany him to the exchange. How come chasing dramas with her spare time isn¡¯t a better choice.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go change my clothes.¡±


    In the end, she didn¡¯t even know why she agreed.


    [Never mind, after all, he worked hard for the Daoist Academy¡¯s honor and it¡¯s also my duty as the Student Council¡¯s Secretary to guide our guests while touring the Crimson City Dongtian.]


    With that in mind, Hua Zijing went to change into her Dancing Device Red and Black Robe that she had custom made by a senior from the Refining Implement Department. The wide-sleeved long robe was cinched at the waist, perfectly highlighting her tall and exquisite figure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up at her attire, admiring it before he stood up to leave with her.


    ¡°Are you going out in broad daylight just like this?¡±


    But Hua Zijing, wide-eyed, stopped him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem? Can¡¯t I be seen by people?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know how popular you are? The recent hot searches on the Celestial Gate website are all about you and Lan Haitian. If you show up, I fear you¡¯ll be surrounded by everyone at the exchange.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai realized he hadn¡¯t considered this, he humbly asked:


    ¡°So what are you suggesting¡­?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Disguise yourself a bit, some slight concealment, maybe wear a mask or something. In that way, people will only think you¡¯re from the Dance Device Dao Academy.¡±


    Hua Zijing thought she gave good advice, but was met with weak opposition from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Won¡¯t they fail to recognize me then?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing widened her eyes, somewhat unable to keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thought process.

 Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Chapter 285 – Alleyway_1

    Chapter 368: Chapter 285 ¨C Alleyway_1


    In the end, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t go against Hua Zijing¡¯s desires, and made a small disguise to his appearance.


    The scales of the Green Scale Arm Guard flew out, gathering on his face to form a slightly transparent Black Crystal Mask, which conveniently covered half of his face, revealing his eyes, forehead, and chin.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Hua Zijing looked at the mask, and her face showed surprise.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out and touched the mask. Like crystal, its scales were cool and slightly hard to the touch.


    The mask¡¯s style was taken from the dark alter ego of the main character in a TV show he had watched as a child. Its aesthetics were top-notch. Upon wearing it, his originally calm and slightly immature temperament suddenly took on a mysterious and dignified aura.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this the mask of the villainous Demon Teachings male lead from ¡®Legend of the Heavenly Sword¡¯? His name was King Abilo, right?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Hua Zijing had also seen the show. Chen Mobai immediately felt that he had found a kindred spirit. The two of them immersed themselves in discussions and debates about the tragic fate of the characters in the series.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget his main task.


    He activated his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, taking both of them away from Treasure Trove and towards Crimson City Celestial Cave.


    When they arrived at the city¡¯s entrance, the two of them got off.


    Private flying is not allowed within Celestial Caves and Blessed Lands.


    ¡°President, if you were the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Teachings and ended up with the Heavenly Sword, invincible in the world, at the grand finale, what would be your choice? The world or love?¡±


    After getting down from the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Hua Zijing asked a question.


    ¡°Impossible, I had received Immortal Gate teachings from childhood. Throughout my life, I have been a good person and could never be part of the Demon Teachings.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with righteousness and confidence, answered from a different perspective, prompting Hua Zijing to roll her eyes at him.


    ¡°I meant hypothetically.¡±


    ¡°Then I guess I would choose the world.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but felt that love was too elusive. He hadn¡¯t experienced it, so he made this choice.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Hearing this, Hua Zijing coldly huffed and walked past him, leading the way into the Crimson City Celestial Cave.


    Chen Mobai scratched his head. He knew that girls probably liked boys to answer with ¡°love,¡± but he chose to follow his heart.


    Both of them were wearing the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe. True to their expectations, they did attract some surprise and attention from some passers-by. However, because Chen Mobai was wearing a mask, no one recognized him. It was like getting to experience life as a ¡°regular person¡±.


    As he looked around the entire Crimson City Celestial Cave, he could see students from various other universities.


    However, the most eye-catching ones were those from the four major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°That row over there are all stalls from Jumang Daoist Academy. They are the most popular in this exchange meeting because they have a lot of rare pills and Spiritual Water for sale, and at cheap prices.¡±


    Hua Zijing pointed at a row of wooden stalls located at the best spot on the east side of the plaza. Around seventeen or eighteen students from the Repairing Heaven Institute, wearing the Fairy Qing Shan robes, were busy selling pills and tubes of Spiritual Water to the young people from various universities lined up in front of their stalls.


    Chen Mobai even saw two familiar figures from the Dance Tool Dao Academy within the crowd.


    ¡°Class Leader Si, Member Zhuang.¡±


    He immediately waved at the two, completely forgetting that he was wearing a mask and needed to keep a low profile.


    Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who heard Chen Mobai¡¯s greeting, looked back in shock. They had been classmates in the Talisman Script department with Chen Mobai for two to three years, and were naturally familiar with his voice.


    As soon as they heard it, they knew who was calling them.


    ¡°I told you to¡­¡±


    Zijing started nagging Chen Mobai at his side. It was only now that he recalled that he needed to keep a low profile. Yet, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who were queueing, had already walked over. It would be rude to just turn around and leave.


    ¡°Chen¡­ classmate, what brings you here?¡±


    With a beautiful face shape and pear vortex-like thin eyebrows, Zhuang Jialan adjusted her glasses. Upon seeing Chen Mobai wearing the mask, she instantly knew she couldn¡¯t say that name out loud in public.


    Otherwise, they would surely be swarmed. Given they couldn¡¯t fly, the crowd could potentially block traffic.


    ¡°Our Student Council has the annual responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Daoist Academy¡¯s stalls during the exchange meeting. Since we were busy fighting in the Little Red Sky earlier and had some free time today, the Vice President and I came over to take a look and do some inspection.¡±


    Chen Mobai used a ready-made excuse to respond, and carefully looked at the two of them. He noticed a slight difference in their auras¡ªthey seemed a bit thicker. However, those from the Immortal Gate would never actively probe others¡¯ cultivation level, so he could only guess that the two might have comprehended the Threshold Law and were trying to establish their Foundation.


    ¡°The Alchemists from the Repairing Heaven Institute will be refining a batch of Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pills here today. Once ready, there will be a draw for a chance to buy them, so we came to try our luck.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Class Leader Si took the initiative to explain why they came. Upon hearing this, Chen confirmed his guess.


    The Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pill was an alternative to the Jade Marrow Pill, with about one-tenth of the latter¡¯s effect.


    ¡°Are you both going to establish your Foundation?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked directly. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan nodded.


    ¡°We wasted a few years earlier trying to get our Talisman Maker certificates. But it was only after seeing you establish your Foundation that we realized no matter how brilliant our skills are, they cannot compare to our personal Realm.¡±

 Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: Chapter 285 Alley_2

    Chapter 369: Chapter 285 Alley_2


    ¡°These past two years, I¡¯ve been reducing my study time and focusing on cultivating the Threshold Method. I¡¯m finally making progress. It¡¯s just a pity that my attempt to establish the Foundation was hampered at the very first step last year.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯ve already prepared another set of three treasures and some Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for Foundation Establishment. Now, it¡¯s just a matter of whether we can purchase a Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pill.¡±


    After hearing what Si Guanyu had said, Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you buy a Jade marrow pill?¡±


    ¡°When the people from the Repairing Heaven Institute came over to set up their stall, they only brought ten Jade marrow pills. These were all sold on the first day to the senior students from the other Daoist Academies. By the time we got the news, it was already too late.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan gave a bitter smile. Both of them have talked to the students from the Repairing Heaven Institute attending the exchange meeting, trying to see if they might exchange some Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for a Jade marrow pill.


    However, due to the decrease in Big Tree¡¯s sap production over the past two years, the number of Jade marrow pills available at Jumang Daoist Academy has also been dwindling. Without a firm relationship, it has become less likely for others to agree to a swap.


    ¡°I see. I have a friend at Jumang Daoist Academy, I¡¯ll ask for her help later on.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered the Qing Woman he had defeated with a single stroke in the Little Red Sky. He still hadn¡¯t apologized for it, so he decided to call her when he had time that night.


    ¡°Is it that Heavenly Spiritual Root Qing Woman?¡±


    Zhuang Jialan abruptly asked after hearing him.


    ¡°Huh? How did you know?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been the hottest topic in the Cultivation world lately. Many of your classmates from your days in Red Sandstone City have been spilling the beans online. They claim that you were openly dating the Heavenly Spiritual Root from Jumang Daoist Academy in high school, while also having a covert affair with the class beauty in your own class. They¡¯re painting you out to be a total jerk.¡±


    ¡°Slander, defamation, smear campaigns¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was almost jumping in anger. He swore that his relationships with them were nothing but wholesome friendships. He had never even held their hands, he was absolutely pure.


    ¡°In my opinion, it¡¯s probably your jealous high school classmates who are fabricating these things to defame you. For the past five years at the Daoist Academy, aside from your cultivation, you¡¯ve shown little interest in anything else. We¡¯ve all seen this directly.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan showed understanding, patting Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder to comfort him. Hua Zijing, standing beside her, nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, Chen Mobai¡¯s actions over his five years at the Dance Tool Dao Academy have been clear for all to see.


    He¡¯s never had a girlfriend, let alone invited a female classmate to dine with him alone.


    The only time they¡¯d see him relax was during their annual end-of-year gatherings with their Cultivation group.


    Outside of these, he was always either cultivating or studying. An absolute cultivation maniac.


    Because of this, most people at the Dance Tool Dao Academy recognized Chen Mobai¡¯s achievements. After all, he was the one who¡¯d put in the hardest work over his five years at the Academy.


    ¡°Damn it! If I find out who¡¯s spreading rumors about me, I¡¯ll hire a lawyer to sue them for defamation and have them locked up for a few days.¡±


    Still fuming, Chen Mobai seethed violently.


    Meanwhile, in Red Sandstone City, Lu Hongsheng, who was busily keyboard-warrioring on some online forum, suddenly sneezed. Shrugging it off, he continued to ¡°drop bombshells¡±.


    After saying goodbye to Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai and Hua Zijing went on to visit the stalls of the Repairing Heaven Institute and the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, both of which were brimming with people.


    Lastly, they visited the area that belonged to their own Daoist Academy.


    Ming Yu from the Student Union was in charge of maintaining order. He recognized Chen Mobai straight away ¨C after all, the only one Hua Zijing would accompany like this was the Student Union President.


    ¡°Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Replenishing Blood Spirit Water, Spiritual Liquid, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Nourishing Spirit Water¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the various items displayed on the stall of his Academy, all familiar to him.


    A second-rank Alchemist from the Alchemy Department at the two-level Foundation Establishment was demonstrating Water Method Alchemy, refining Nourishing Spirit Water, a type of spiritual water that could nourish the Divine Sense and stabilize the Purple Palace. Its primary ingredient, the Vermillion Fruit, was present.


    Hua Zijing introduced the alchemist as Ying Sizhen from the eighth grade. He was a Second-Rank Alchemist, the head of the Alchemy Department in Student Union, and was a highly probable candidate for the position of Deputy President after Shen Renyou graduates next year.


    Though fully engrossed in his Alchemy demonstration, Ying Sizhen still managed to momentarily turn around and nod at Chen Mobai as a greeting.


    ¡°You guys focus on your work, I¡¯m just here to have a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt like an extra wheel and promptly left with Hua Zijing after he finished talking.


    After the four major Daoist Academies, there were the top ten university palaces.


    On the booth of the True Spirit Academy were all sorts of fluffy and cute pets like puppies, kittens, and rabbits. Hua Zijing immediately took a liking to a white cat with big eyes and flawless white fur that was soft and smooth to the touch.


    However, these pets were not for sale; they were simply brought there to experience the outside world.


    ¡°You go pet the cat for a while, I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s time to go back.¡±


    Seeing that Hua Zijing was unable to move due to her fascination with the cat, Chen Mobai took the opportunity to split up with her and act alone.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Chairman.¡±


    After hearing that, Hua Zijing hugged the white cat, ordered a portion of cat food, and sat down without looking back.


    The forgotten Chen Mobai was not bothered. He walked through the booth of the True Spirit Academy and into a small alley, planning to take a shortcut to the corner booth of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute in the western part of the square.


    However, when he reached the end of the alley, he saw a girl wearing sunglasses who had set up a stall in that spot.


    A black cloth was spread on the table with eight words written on it.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth, Mystical calculations of machines!¡±


    A fortune teller? From Astral Observation Academy?


    Among the top ten academies, Taiyuan, Pure Yang, and Astral Observation rank just below the four Daoist Academies. The dean of the Astral Observation Academy is a stage-one Nascent Soul individual, whose technique of Joseon fortune-telling has never been wrong.


    Even the big three Hall Masters of the immortal gate sometimes seek guidance from him.


    Generally, those who set up fortune-telling stalls on this side of the Immortal Gate are assumed to be from the Astral Observation Academy.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Mobai sized up the girl with sunglasses sitting on the folding stool. Unlike him, who wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face, her large black sunglasses covered both her eyes and the upper half of her face, revealing only her fair cheeks and the elegant lines of her chin and jaw.


    Although he didn¡¯t get a good look at her, the delicate snow-white chin he saw made Chen Mobai think she must be very attractive.


    However, it seemed she was not adept at conducting business, having chosen such a location to set up her fortune-telling stall with hardly any potential customers passing by.


    Furthermore, she didn¡¯t even try to attract him as a potential client when he walked past.


    He guessed she must be an apprentice fortune teller, too nervous to show off her skills.


    While thinking this, Chen Mobai was about to step out of the shadow of the alley, the bright light outside just a step away.


    Suddenly, a whim crossed his mind.


    Why not get a prediction?


    ¡°Hello, how much do you charge for fortune-telling?¡±


    Turning around, Chen Mobai asked the girl with sunglasses sitting on the folding stool.


    Was it his imagination or had her figure appeared a bit ethereal, like a TV picture with poor signal, half-existent and half-absent?


    However, as soon as he¡¯d opened his mouth, it was as if the signal had suddenly improved, the girl with the sunglasses, whose body had been slightly ethereal, suddenly became clear and solid.


    ¡°Fortune-telling is for fate, not for profit.¡±


    A hoarse voice, almost electric, came from behind the girl¡¯s sunglasses, with no way to tell what expression was hidden behind them.


    Chen Mobai, standing in front of her stall, was full of curiosity.


    ¡°Free of charge? Are you a student at Astral Observation Academy? Are you practicing fortune-telling techniques by setting up this stand?¡±


    ¡°I only tell three fortunes per day, and you are today¡¯s first.¡±


    The sunglasses girl didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question; her raspy voice was very distinctive.

    ¡°How does it work?¡±


    ¡°You write down a word and then ask your question.¡±


    A sheet of white paper and a ballpoint pen were taken out from under the table and handed to Chen Mobai.


    Having received them, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment.


    Should he ask about love? Or about his cultivation level?

 Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: Chapter 286: Ascending to Another World, Tread the Path into the Void_1

    Chapter 370: Chapter 286: Ascending to Another World, Tread the Path into the Void_1


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment, then wrote down the character for ¡°pill¡±.


    Compared to marriage, he still felt that the cultivation realm was more substantial.


    ¡°Can I form the Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the paper and pen he had used to write, simultaneously asking the question he wanted to ask.


    The sunglasses-wearing girl reached out with her pale right hand, her slender fingers taking the paper. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze hidden behind the sunglasses was unclear. Chen Mobai suddenly had an impulse to take off her sunglasses and see her true face.


    Very strange.


    He considered himself a person who could control his own emotions very well, especially when cultivating with the Thought Casting Divine Technique during Qi Cultivation, he was accustomed to dissipating distractions and transforming them into divine senses.


    Since the Foundation Establishment, such unusual impulses that emerged from his heart had been absent for a long time.


    ¡°In the world of cultivators, any cultivator has the opportunity to form the Core Formation.¡±


    At this moment, the sunglasses-wearing girl answered.


    After Chen Mobai heard this, he lost interest in listening to her further.


    Just like those unskillful fortune tellers, they never answer the question directly, always using vague and ambiguous language.


    ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll borrow your well-wishing words.¡±


    But Chen Mobai was a very polite person. Even though he didn¡¯t want to listen anymore, he still smiled and responded, then got up ready to leave.


    ¡°If you form the Core Formation, you must go through three tribulations.¡±


    The hoarse voice of the sunglasses girl came from behind. Chen Mobai heard it but didn¡¯t care, shaking his head nonchalantly. This is modern society, why do you fortune-tellers still stick to these old clich¨¦s?


    First, they say nice things, then they exaggerate the danger.


    Chen Mobai, who thought he had seen through her, felt disgusted and no longer wanted to pay attention to this unskilled fortune-telling girl. His steps did not stop, and he was about to leave the alley.


    ¡°These three tribulations correspond to Essence, Energy, and Spirit. The tribulation of the Essence means that if you want to form the Core Formation, you have to shorten your lifespan by one hundred and eighty years.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step forward, he heard these words and immediately turned around and walked back to the stall.


    ¡°Master, may I ask how to overcome this tribulation?¡±


    The sunglasses girl looked at Chen Mobai, who was now even more polite than before. Her expression and tone did not fluctuate in the slightest as she continued speaking.


    ¡°The Energy tribulation is the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, which theoretically shouldn¡¯t exist among cultivators in this day and age. Your ¡®pill¡¯ character manifested this tribulation, which is very strange.¡±


    Although she admitted it was strange, her tone remained as steady as ever.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked puzzled. However, he didn¡¯t dare interrupt the divination of the master in front of him. He simply made a mental note to look up information about the world of cultivation or ask Che Yucheng when he had time in the future.


    ¡°The tribulation of the spirit signifies your unstable foundation. The cultivation for forming the Core Formation is not solid enough. It is possible that you might lose control of the drastic increase in cultivation level after forming the Core Formation, thus failing at the last hurdle.¡±


    After hearing about his three tribulations for Core Formation, Chen Mobai took out his phone, intending to transfer the payment by scanning the QR code.


    However, after scanning the entire stall, he only saw words implying profound and divine calculation ability. He did not see any payment codes.


    ¡°Master, how should I counteract these tribulations?¡±


    Seeing that the sunglasses girl stopped speaking after finishing describing the disasters, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and asked again.


    ¡°The Immortal Toon Fruit from the Jumang Daoist Academy can increase one¡¯s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.¡±


    After pondering for a long time, the fortune teller finally gave a solution for overcoming the first tribulation. However, upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly lost for words.


    The single sixth-order Spirit Tree in the world of cultivation, namely, the ¡°Big Tree¡± of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    This tree bears fruit once every eight hundred years. Even if a mortal consumes it, their lifespan will be increased instantly. It is even capable of turning dead bones into flesh, bringing the dead back to life, and thus it is referred to as the number one divine fruit of the cultivation world.


    But this item is exclusive to those who have completed the Divinity Transformation, and even the three Hall Masters of the cultivation world do not have the privilege of consuming it.


    Although he had seen many dramas in his childhood where the male lead died accidentally, the female lead went through all sorts of hardships to get an Immortal Toon Fruit from the elder and revived the male lead.


    But that was just television. Chen Mobai even felt that even if half the people in the world of cultivation died, the two elders who had completed their Divinity Transformation would not even blink an eye.


    ¡°Master, is there a simpler method to dissolve the tribulation?¡±


    Chen Mobai continued to ask.


    The sunglasses girl, however, continued speaking as if it was a programmed response.


    ¡°The Energy Tribulation should no longer exist for cultivators. If you go to a place in the cultivation world to form the Core Formation, you can resolve it.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Tribulation is due to your unstable foundation. You need to refine your internal energy or prepare corresponding ¡°dan¡± medications as support, which could also have miraculous effects.¡±


    After saying these words, the sunglasses girl folded up the paper Chen Mobai had written the character ¡°pill¡± on and placed it in the sleeve of her right hand. After that, she no longer spoke, no matter what Chen Mobai said, remaining silent as if she were mute.

    ¡°Master, I have some savings and quite a few magic artefacts and spiritual objects. Can these be used as the fee for your divination?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought it was because of his lack of sincerity, but the sunglasses girl continued to remain silent.


    ¡°Alright, master, don¡¯t you divine three trigrams a day? If you give me two more pieces of paper, I can cover all the business for today.¡±


    These words from Chen Mobai did catch the attention of the seemingly daydreaming sunglasses girl in front of him. She raised her head, her eyes hidden behind the sunglasses looking straight at him. Her tone fluctuated for the first time.


    ¡°Only the destined will receive divination. Although no fee is charged, it creates a causal connection with my Divine Machine Mansion. One trigram forms a shallow connection, but three trigrams form a deep connection, intertwined and connected. In the future, you might not be able to break free.¡±

 Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: Chapter 286: Ascending the World, Treading the Dao in the Void_2

    Chapter 371: Chapter 286: Ascending the World, Treading the Dao in the Void_2


    Huh, this person really isn¡¯t after money!


    While Chen Mobai was surprised, he was also wondering about the background of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    In front of the girl with sunglasses, he didn¡¯t feel right to directly search it on the internet with his phone.


    ¡°We, the cultivation community, don¡¯t believe in karma. The education we received from a young age has always been that mighty powers are gathered within ourselves, and might breaks rules. Do your fortune-telling.¡±


    But Chen Mobai knew that this fortune-teller must be an expert.


    After all, no one in his entire Cultivation sect knew about the Tree Fruit affairs, only he himself knew.


    This person was able to see his Core Formation¡¯s calamity at a glance, which must be a sign of true skill.


    ¡°Alright, but I can only cast one more divination for you.¡±


    The girl in sunglasses hesitated and drew out another piece of white paper. She was about to hand it along with the retrieved ballpoint pen to Chen Mobai.


    Thump, thump, thump!


    Footsteps echoed, sounding like dress shoes hitting the ground, crisp and pleasant to hear.


    Chen Mobai turned his head to look at the alley¡¯s exit. He couldn¡¯t see the face against the light, but he could see a slim woman with a full chest. She wore a tight-fitting pink plaid shirt, which accentuated her slender waist. Below, she had on a striped pleated skirt, revealing a pair of slender and beautiful legs clad in black knee-high stockings and rounded toe shoes.


    ¡°Excuse me, can I pass by?¡±


    As she came in, she noticed Chen Mobai and the girl in sunglasses doing fortune-telling.


    Because the alley was not large, with two people sitting down and the stall in the middle, there was basically no space for others to pass.


    Chen Mobai looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was someone he used to know.


    It was Wanyu, whom he had met on the train when he first came to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Despite the five years that had passed, time seemed to have left no mark on her. She was still as pure and beautiful as before. Between her speech, the corners of her mouth were always curled into a smile. The way she gently stroked the strands of hair by her ear was even more charming than before.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately stood up to let her pass and she thanked him with a smile.


    ¡°Fortune-telling is for those who are destined, miss, do you want a love divination?¡±


    However, as Wanyu walked past the stall, the girl in sunglasses who had been indifferent to Chen Mobai, took the initiative to ask her if she wanted her fortune told.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t believe in these things.¡±


    Although a bit surprised, Wanyu politely declined and turned to leave. However, Chen Mobai had a thought in mind.


    The people of The Divine Machine Mansion only cast three divinations a day. He had already had two, and the remaining one could be used to see the truth.


    ¡°This fortune teller here is an expert. Since we¡¯re fated to meet, don¡¯t let it pass.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke up, causing a hesitant Wanyu, who had been preparing to leave to pause. After all, Chen Mobai¡¯s Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was very persuasive.


    ¡°Forget it, my friend is waiting for me in front of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s stall. I heard Battle Law Victory is coming today, I don¡¯t want to miss it.¡±


    Wanyu¡¯s words caused a slight twitch in Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    How can the news of his arrival have leaked out? It must have been a loose-lipped student who let it slip. Had he known this, he wouldn¡¯t have gone there in the first place.


    ¡°It won¡¯t delay you.¡±


    Seeing Wanyu turning to leave, Chen Mobai replied and removed the mask from his face. Pieces of black crystal-like scales flew from his cheeks into the arm guard of his lifted right sleeve.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­why are you here¡­¡±


    Wanyu saw Chen Mobai, covered her mouth in surprise, her pretty face flushed with surprise and disbelief.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a bit popular now, so I have to do some disguising when I go out.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized to Wanyu, who shook her head repeatedly, indicating that it was all right.


    ¡°If you want to see me, just contact me directly. Don¡¯t we have ways to get in touch?¡±


    Hearing this, Wanyu lowered her head in embarrassment.


    It was not easy for a girl to actively reach out. It was only when Chen Mobai had just established Foundation Establishment and expressed his heartfelt happiness for him on social media, that she mustered up the courage to send a message.


    Although they talked through the night afterwards, for the next two years, unless Chen Mobai took the initiative, she could only bury her feelings deep in her heart.


    This was especially true after Chen Mobai became the top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, swept through Little Red Sky, and his fame reached its peak.


    Feeling the substantial gap between them, she dared not take the initiative to contact him anymore, afraid that Chen Mobai would mistake her for someone who was insensible and drawn to his fame and fortune.


    ¡°If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly. I¡¯m usually cultivating, but I¡¯ll reply when I see it if I¡¯m free. Plus, I think I still owe you a lipstick.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered when he was on the train and Master Wanyu gave him a lipstick to use for autographs. He had clearly promised to buy one as a replacement after getting off the train but forgot about it when he later moved to first class and ran into Meng Huang and Ma Xiaoming.


    ¡°You still remember.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Master Wanyu¡¯s face brightened with joy. She squinted her lightly made-up eyes and smiled, looking extraordinarily beautiful.


    ¡°This lady is a master from another world, able to divine with extraordinary accuracy. She only makes three predictions a day. Since you¡¯ve run into her, you might as well ask her about the thing you¡¯re most curious about.¡±


    As Chen Mobai introduced the girl in sunglasses, Master Wanyu listened attentively while focusing her gaze on him.


    ¡°What are the charges?¡±


    As she asked this question, it became clear that Master Wanyu intended to have her fortune read. However, she remained rational and didn¡¯t lose her sense because of her reunion with her good friend Chen Mobai, and asked about fees in advance to avoid any embarrassment if she didn¡¯t have enough Good Deed Points.


    ¡°There¡¯s no charge, only causes and effects.¡±


    After the girl in the sunglasses answered Master Wanyu¡¯s question, she took out another piece of white paper, picked up a pen from the table that was meant for Chen Mobai, and handed it to him. Although perplexed, he didn¡¯t overthink, knowing that Chen Mobai was the one who introduced her.


    There¡¯s no way he would deceive her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll choose this one.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Master Wanyu¡¯s fair skin flushed slightly. She quickly wrote a character, folded the paper without letting Chen Mobai see it, and handed it over to the girl in the sunglasses.


    ¡°Miss, what do you want to ask? Is it about marriage?¡±


    The girl in sunglasses, after opening it and taking a look, asked with a meaningful glance.


    ¡°No, no, I want to ask about the course of my future life.¡±


    With Chen Mobai right beside her, Master Wanyu felt embarrassed and could only subtly change her question to be about marriage.


    ¡°Your life will be blissful.¡±


    The reply from the girl in sunglasses made Master Wanyu very happy, but Chen Mobai furrowed his brow slightly. This standard answer is exactly the same as the one he received earlier¡ªlacking any depth or meaning.


    ¡°How will it be blissful?¡±


    Master Wanyu asked further.


    ¡°You will die a peaceful death.¡±


    The girl in the sunglasses replied with such a killjoy phrase that the initially elated Master Wanyu slightly hardened her expression. She opened her mouth to say something but felt embarrassed to ask in front of Chen Mobai and fell silent.


    ¡°To die a peaceful death is also my dream.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai spoke. He defused the awkwardness and picked up a blank paper from the table. He wrote down the second character representing his fortune for today.


    [Turtle]!


    Everything he had now was due to the turtle shell. Now he got a chance, he might as well ask a question.


    ¡°What do you want to ask?¡±


    ¡°About life.¡±


    Chen Mobai also wanted to know how far he could go in his life.


    ¡°Most people ask about life, and yours is one I¡¯m unable to decipher.¡±


    The girl in the sunglasses suddenly remarked. Then, from under the table, she withdrew a thick stack of cards.


    ¡°Draw one. These are the treasures of The Divine Machine Mansion. The phrase written on them will be your future life.¡±


    Chen Mobai slightly knitted his brows but still followed her instructions and drew a laminated card.


    The back of the card had an image of a bronze trigram wheel spiraling in the star-studded sky. When he turned the card over to look at the front, sure enough, there was a line of text.


    [Ascend and step into the world, tread on the path over emptiness.]


    ¡°Master, how should I understand this?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled and asked the girl in the sunglasses, whom he thought this was very fitting to his life.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Miss, since you have also asked about life, draw a card as well. Although I saw the end of your life, there¡¯s some haze covering the path leading up to it.¡±


    Instead of answering Chen Mobai, the girl in sunglasses turned to Master Wanyu, who drew a card with a clueless expression.


    When she opened and looked at it, it was a different line of poetry.


    [Burst of stars beyond brushing dawn, falling ashes before the stairs.]


    Chen Mobai and Master Wanyu looked at each other, both of them didn¡¯t understand. As they turned to ask the girl in the sunglasses, her face suddenly turned pale, and she coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

 Chapter 372 - Chapter 372: Chapter 287 About Longevity_1

    Chapter 372: Chapter 287 About Longevity_1


    ¡°Master, are you alright?¡±


    Chen Mobai was about to ask how the poem on their cards came about when he turned to see the sunglasses-wearing girl spitting out blood, which shocked him greatly.


    He was inclined to reach out to the master in front of him, but remembering that they had female company, he quickly sent Wanyu over to see to her instead.


    ¡°No need, my fate here today is already fulfilled. I will take my leave.¡±


    The sunglasses-wearing girl waved her hand, stopping Wanyu who was approaching her.


    After saying this, she wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, then swept all items like card cloth from the table to the floor. Suddenly, she seemed like a phantom, retreating rapidly and retreated into the wall behind her, disappearing from their sight.


    Chen Mobai released his Divine Sense, searching high and low, but all he caught sight of was the girl¡¯s heel disappearing into another wall.


    He hesitated for a moment, but didn¡¯t forcefully follow her.


    ¡°I wonder what this line of poetry means?¡±


    Once the sunglasses-wearing girl left, Wanyu glanced at the card in her hand and muttered to herself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s look it up on an ancient text website when we have some time.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually suggested, which Wanyu agreed to happily. She then slid her card into the compartment of the little black bag she was carrying around her waist.


    ¡°Are you well-versed in the exchange fair?¡±


    Chen Mobai once again checked his drawn card, stashed it inside the pocket of his sleeve after understanding the general literal meaning, then posed a question.


    ¡°Pretty much, I¡¯ve been to most of the stalls with friends.¡±


    Wanyu said excitedly.


    ¡°Shall we walk around together? I want to go to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to ask some professional questions.¡±


    Chen Mobai courteously invited Wanyu, already mentioning his intended destination. She could easily steer the conversation elsewhere if she had other things to do.


    ¡°Mm-hmm!¡±


    However, Wanyu blushed and eagerly agreed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave it no further thought, glanced at where the sunglasses-wearing girl had been sitting, which was now empty, adjusted his mood and said to Wanyu, before turning around and heading towards the end of the alleyway.


    At the moment his foot stepped into the outside sunlight, he wiped his face with his right hand and black crystal-like scales flew out, covering his face once more like a half-faced mask.


    Wanyu happily followed him out, her black shiny round-toed shoes on her feet.


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai put the mask back on, she felt as though she had him all to herself, her heart bursting with joy and her radiant face radiating sheer happiness.


    Some passers-by stopped in their tracks when they saw the stunningly attractive Wanyu emerge from the alleyway with a joyous expression on her face.


    However, when they saw her rushing to join the young man dressed in a Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, there was a hint of regret on their faces.


    So the beautiful lady¡¯s heart already belongs to someone.


    Damn it! Who was this Dancing Tools Dao Academy guy, acting mysterious with a mask on?


    Can¡¯t he see that we are here?


    Even the Magic Duel victor probably wouldn¡¯t act this pompously.


    Two male students watched as Wanyu, who was genuinely smiling by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, found their hearts souring and couldn¡¯t help disparaging him.


    ¡°The Life-Extension Cultivation Institute has four stalls: one for life extension, one for health preservation, one for medical consultation, and the most popular one, is the beauty preservation. It¡¯s crowded every day.¡±


    Listening to the cheerful voice of Wanyu next to him, smelling her scents wafting from her body, Chen Mobai found himself at peace.


    It was so much better than shopping with Hua Zijing.


    This vice-chairman, even though he¡¯s good-looking, never smiles, always acting detached, which makes this handsome boy who enjoys admiring beauty feel pressured.


    In contrast, Wanyu was a breath of fresh air. The two walked together, her face with light luxurious makeup was not only radiant with smiles the whole time, Chen Mobai could also feel her genuine joy and excitement. The cheerful rhythm of her elegant legs in her little leather shoes filled the atmosphere with her youthful vigor. It even seemed to affect him, whose mood was a bit down due to the Core Formation Tribulation, making him smile unconsciously.

    ¡°Why are there four stalls? I thought there¡¯s just one for life extension.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked while smilingly jabbering as if in response to Wanyu¡¯s sprightly chatter.


    ¡°I know this. Our Starlight Institute and the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute are in the same campus and we interact quite often. Although they said they¡¯re studying the secret of eternal life, in reality, only those True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and the teachers could participate in the life-extension project.¡±


    ¡°Though the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute was spun off from the Jumang Daoist Academy, the cut-off points for admission are just average each year. Hence, most people who study here do not have the interest or talent to invest time in the ¡®life-extension¡¯ course which takes a long time to yield results. They typically select health preservation and beauty maintenance courses.¡±


    ¡°Among these, many Cultivators would practice Health Preservation Techniques in their later years and after mastery, they would open a tutoring class. If they manage to establish a good reputation, it could be lucrative. As for beauty maintenance, needless to say, many female cultivators would go to great lengths to achieve it.¡±

 Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 287 About Life Extension_2

    Chapter 373: Chapter 287 About Life Extension_2


    As she said this, Miss Wanyu clenched her small fist, indicating that she was also part of this. This motion was quite adorable.


    As they were speaking, the two had already arrived at the stall of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    True to what Miss Wanyu said, their stall, which offered aging reversal services, was crowded with people.


    However, the second most popular wellness stall didn¡¯t seem to have many visitors.


    Perhaps this was because the expo was mainly attended by students ¨C young people full of vitality who did not yet feel the need for wellness services.


    ¡°Wanyu, didn¡¯t you say you were going to watch the Magic Duel Victory at the Dance Tool Dao Academy? Why did you come over here?¡±


    At this time, it seemed that Miss Wanyu had run into acquaintances. Two young girls waiting in line at the anti-aging stall were surprised to see her and immediately called out to her. One of them, seeing Chen Mobai in his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, looked puzzled.


    ¡°These are my roommates. Let me say hello to them first.¡±


    Caught unexpectedly by friends, Miss Wanyu fought the urge to flaunt the person by her side, and softly spoke those words.


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll go over there to ask about something I¡¯ve been wondering about.¡±


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want Miss Wanyu to know what he was about to ask. But right after they split up, he had just taken a seat at the Life-Extension Institute¡¯s stall when he felt two burning gazes looking his way.


    He didn¡¯t need to turn around. With a flicker of his Divine Sense, he knew it was Miss Wanyu¡¯s two roommates. One of them seemed to have guessed his identity and looked slightly excited.


    ¡°Esteemed senior student, a consultation at our booth will cost 100 Good Deed Points, to fund the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s research on prolonging human life.¡±


    Seated at the Life-Extension booth was an attractive young man with dyed white hair, presenting himself as of juvenile appearance despite his white hair, and gestured to the payment QR code beside him.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and took out his phone to pay the consultation fee.


    ¡°If you have any questions, please ask. My name is Yu Rulin, I am the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute. I established my Foundation just last year.¡±


    The young man with white hair introduced himself with an air of grace. Compared to the standards for chiefs at the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Great Schools, the requirements for the chiefs of the 120 Institutes were much lower. Any student who could establish their Foundation during their school years could become a chief.


    ¡°My father joined the Trench War when he was young. He faced an extremely dangerous situation and used a technique that consumed lifespan in exchange for temporarily raising his cultivation realm. I want to ask if there¡¯s any way to replenish the lifespan he consumed?¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a reason he had thought of beforehand; his words were full of a son¡¯s regret and an earnest desire to help his father.


    ¡°Oh, what technique did he use, Wildfire Spring Wind Technique? Starfire Scorched Earth Technique? Shocking God Ringing Bell Technique? Dry Wood Fierce Fire Technique? Holding Fire Accumulating Technique¡­¡±


    Yu Rulin named a great many techniques, all of which seemed to burn lifespan to increase cultivation or break through realms in the short term.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t heard of them and didn¡¯t want to search on his phone in front of others or blindly choose one, so he tried to guide the conversation in the direction he wanted.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly ¨C he didn¡¯t want me to worry, so he never mentioned it. I only discovered this after investigating some clues on my own. What I really want to know is whether lifespan lost to techniques or pills can be restored?¡±


    Yu Rulin didn¡¯t show any suspicion and nodded with certainty.


    ¡°That¡¯s the simplest. But my research focuses on lifespan extension. If you need to restore consumed lifespan, you should go to the medical stall over there.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the difference?¡±


    Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know, so he asked in a puzzled tone.


    Seeing the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe on Chen Mobai, Yu Rulin patiently started explaining.


    ¡°In the professional field of lifespan, we refer to the lifespan of a person under normal circumstances, without accidents or diseases, as ¡®Destined Life¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Everyone may have slight differences, but the general lifespan doesn¡¯t differ much. It¡¯s formed innately in the womb. Only the breakthrough of cultivation realm or heaven-defying spiritual objects like Immortal Toon Fruit can increase or prolong it.¡±


    ¡°To give you a simple example, imagine your body as a container that can hold a liter. No matter what you fill it with ¨C water or beverages ¨C it can¡¯t exceed the volume of the container itself. Consuming lifespan is like emptying some of the liquid from a full container in advance. Once the liquid in the container runs dry, it means that the lifespan is exhausted, or in other words, that the person has died a natural death.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai easily grasped the concept and couldn¡¯t help but praise Yu Rulin¡¯s professional expertise as the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, to replenish lifespan, we need to refill the container with water?¡±


    He asked, and Yu Rulin nodded in affirmation, then pointed to a medical stall opposite them.


    ¡°Our lifespan extension study mainly deals with various methods to increase the container capacity beyond the limits of cultivation realm. It is about extending one¡¯s innate lifespan, which is among the top ten difficult problems in Daoist cultivation. The consumption of lifespan is just due to premature overdraft of the body and mind, or perhaps damage to the container itself. This is a problem distinct from life extension research. In simple terms, if you were sick, you would need treatment.¡±


    Though bluntly put, these words resonated deeply with Chen Mobai.


    Because the implication from Yu Rulin was clear: replenishing lifespan is an easy task, not worth calling out the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    Following his instruction, Chen Mobai stepped into the neighboring medical stall.


    The stall owner was merely at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, named Le Chengwei. Chen Mobai¡¯s concern wasn¡¯t about disrespect, it was just that his level of expertise compared to the chief, Yu Rulin, was quite inferior.


    Clinician Le insisted Chen Mobai to disclose which exact spell he had used, only then would he prescribe the right elixir to replenish his lifespan.


    Seeing his obstinacy, Chen Mobai decided to return to Yu Rulin¡¯s stall, as it was clear that convincing him would be futile.


    ¡°Senior from the upper academy, although my stall isn¡¯t busy, professionalism is essential. If you wish to extend your lifespan, I can still discuss it with you, but I suggest not asking me to replenish your lifespan.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai in his mask return, Yu Rulin couldn¡¯t help but frown a little and put down his book.


    He had already mentioned that he¡¯s involved in lifespan research, not competent in treating patients.


    Only because he was from Dance Tool Dao Academy did Yu Rulin elaborate. Had it been any other university, even the top ten colleges, he would have directly referred them to a clinic.


    ¡°Brother Yu, how about we find a coffee shop and have a thorough chat?¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, Yu Rulin uttered a sigh. With a face full of impatience, he was just about to reject, when Chen Mobai¡¯s black crystal mask began to peel away and revealed his true identity.


    Once Yu Rulin recognized him, he was struck speechless, his face filled with disbelief.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Meanwhile, Wanyu, Chen Mobai¡¯s roommate, who had been consistently observing him also caught a glimpse of his real face and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim shockingly.


    Luckily, in a split second, Chen Mobai reached up to his face and recovered his mask, hiding half of his face again.


    The surrounding onlookers, not having noticed anything amiss, stared curiously at Wanyu¡¯s roommate who just exclaimed in surprise. She didn¡¯t say anything, just covered her mouth and looked excited.


    ¡°Senior Chen, I know an excellent maid caf¨¦. Let¡¯s head over.¡±


    Yu Rulin¡¯s attitude had completely changed. He stood up to lead the way, and also signaled a junior from the next stall to take care of the lifespan extension stall for him.


    ¡°Please wait, I need to check in with a friend.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then turned towards the ever-observant Wanyu and waved at her. She quickly moved apart from her two excited roommates and trotted over to him.

    ¡°I have some professional matters to discuss with Chief Yu, would you like to join us or explore around on your own?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very tactful, his meaning was clear.


    Wanyu¡¯s radiant face fell a little. Nodding, she indicated that she¡¯d shop around with her roommates and wouldn¡¯t join them.


    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s plan for another day. I still owe you a lipstick, I¡¯ll buy you one then.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then left with Yu Rulin, who had been waiting for a while.

 Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: Chapter 289: The First Industry_1

    Chapter 377: Chapter 289: The First Industry_1


    In the world of immortals, for a true cultivator at the foundation establishment stage, earning money is not a difficult task.


    After all, every true cultivator at the foundation establishment stage can obtain a rank-2 professional certificate of Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal as long as they are willing to spend time.


    It¡¯s a bit embarrassing to say, Chen Mobai, who is the number one talisman prodigy of the 5012 cohort, despite having successfully established his foundation, is still only a rank-1 talisman maker.


    His peers, Siguanyu and Zhuang Jialan, had studied hard and utilized their extracurricular time to pass the rank-2 talisman maker exam back in the fourth grade.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s fast advancement in realm, he would probably have lost the title of ¡°Number One in Talismans¡± by now.


    An arduous cultivator at the foundation establishment stage can basically earn over a million Good Deed Points per year.


    Chen Mobai calculated the amount of Good Deed Points he would need to purchase life-extending elixirs from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to replenish 180 years of his lifespan.


    The life-replenishing elixir, priced at 8800 per pill, would cost 264000 points of Good Deed Points for 30 pills.


    The longevity pill, priced at 128000 per pill, would cost 115200 points of Good Deed Points for 9 pills.


    Since the turtle longevity pill is unavailable, he might need to endure drug resistance, continuing to consume longevity pills even after the 9th pill.


    Yu Rulin mentioned an experiment conducted by the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute: For the same person, the 10th longevity pill would only replenish 9 years of lifespan.


    After that, each pill would decrease by one year. By the time of taking the 20th pill, the effect of the longevity pill would be the same as the life-replenishing elixir.


    However, there would be an effect if one continues to consume it. Each longevity pill would continue to add 1 year of lifespan until the 30th pill, after which it would finish.


    If both the life-replenishing elixir and longevity pill are consumed 30 times each, it will replenish 177 years of lifespan, almost perfectly offsetting the side effects of the tree fruit.


    After doing the mental arithmetic, a precise number came up soon.


    4,104,000 points of Good Deed Points.


    Four million¡­


    A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    It¡¯s a bit pricey. The fastest way is to sell the foundation establishment treasures bought with academic credits, which is in high demand throughout the whole immortal world. As long as there is stock, there will be no lack of buyers who are willing to pay extra.


    However, this method could only be used in emergencies. After all, Chen Mobai would graduate someday and could not always exploit the Daoist Academy.


    He still needed to think of a way to generate a stable income. After all, though resources were scarce in the immortal world, there were still a lot of good items. Having some Good Deed Points stocked up would undoubtedly be useful at some point.


    After some thought, and upon reading through the legal terms of the immortal world, Chen Mobai discovered that all possible means of earning money in the immortal world have been monopolized by others.


    The most lucrative industry was, of course, elixirs.


    But the six major pharmaceutical factories in the immortal world dominate most of the market, and the remaining areas are almost monopolized by certain sectors like the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    The elixir areas overlooked by the six pharmaceutical factories and the major universities of the immortal world have unfathomably intense competition. After a brief consultation with Wang Xingyu, Chen Mobai immediately dismissed the idea of making money from elixirs.


    He originally thought about smuggling herbs from the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm to sell here, but Wang Xingyu mentioned that every piece of spiritual medicine that enters the market in the immortal world needs to be stamped by the Immortal World Drug Supervision Bureau.


    If one procures some for personal use, these regulations can be disregarded. However, if one wishes to engage in large-scale selling, it is impossible to get around the bureau.


    The origin of every herb needs to be accounted for, from cultivation to harvesting and storage. If any step is missing, the bureau will not issue the stamp.


    Medical stores will not purchase any herbs that are not endorsed by the Immortal World.


    After elixirs, the next lucrative businesses are talismans and magic artifacts.


    Talismans have deeply penetrated all aspects of life in the immortal world and are considered consumables. The competition here is pretty stable. As long as one can produce these, and there is a certified professional talisman maker to stamp the professional seal, buyers will exist.


    However, this field relies heavily on reputation. Even if Chen Mobai gains his rank-2 talisman maker certification immediately, it probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for the factories run by rank-3 or even rank-4 talisman makers.


    When it comes to the magic artifact industry, the most profitable items are various life utensils, but Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have any connections in this field.


    He shouldn¡¯t even consider array law infrastructure, as he knows nothing about it.


    After turning it over in his mind, he finally ended up going back to studying elixirs and talismans.


    He is familiar with talismans, whereas for elixirs, he has connections in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, at this stage, Chen Mobai is only considering his options and has not made a final decision.


    He decided to consult an expert in the field.


    After turning on his phone, he sent a private message to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop in Red Sandstone City, which he had frequented in the past.


    As expected, the shopkeeper remembered him, the large customer, and spoke warmly to him.


    However, when Chen Mobai asked for advice on how to run a good talisman shop, the shopkeeper immediately replied with a speechless expression.


    Who would ask their competitors?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But this shopkeeper didn¡¯t have any grand ambitions, and his shop was merely a personal workshop. He shared his experiences and insights from running his shop over the years.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai realized it¡¯s not as easy as it seems.


    As there¡¯s no professional equipment or machinery, the shopkeeper has to mix his own talisman ink painstakingly. Fortunately, there are some small tools that can help crush cinnabar, infuse spiritual objects, and control the fire with a timer and thermometer.


    If he were in the Tianhe Realm, where everything relies on experience and manpower, Chen Mobai would probably give up immediately.


    The advantage of a small workshop is the lack of maintenance costs for large equipment and costs for hiring cultivators. Talisman paper can be purchased, and a well-made talisman brush can be used for several years.

 Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: Chapter 289: The First Industry_2

    Chapter 378: Chapter 289: The First Industry_2


    However, the downside is, it can¡¯t scale up.


    The profit margin in talismans is already thin, and with everyone capable of becoming a Talisman Maker, competition is fierce.


    The entire Cultivation industry has industrialised, which saves on labour costs. The talisman industry only has a profit margin of about 5%.


    Even so, every year at least a hundred newly registered talisman shops end up closing and filing for bankruptcy.


    The fact that Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop has been able to operate online in the cultivation world for ten years, even turning a slight profit every year, is already an industry success story.


    [Generally for us Qi Practitioners, even achieving Rank-2 as a talisman maker only enables us to scrape by. However, it¡¯s different for those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment. They just need to settle locally, places like our Red Sandstone City are willing to give them a piece of land for free to start an industry, and there are also various tax incentives.]


    [So in the cultivation world, only the realm truly matters. Unfortunately, I failed at establishing my foundation and still owe the bank a large loan. Though I have managed to cultivate back to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, I guess there¡¯s no chance for me to move up in this lifetime.]


    [Right now, the only thing I can hope for is that my younger siblings who are in college will successfully establish their foundation, so that our family will have a chance to escape our debts.]


    At the end of the conversation, the Shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop seemed to be touched and sent over a string of long texts, reflecting on his struggles over the years.


    Chen Mobai comforted him for a bit, added his real-life contact details, and then called his mother.


    ¡°What, you want to start a talisman factory?¡±


    After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, Tang Panchui yelled in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, I heard there¡¯s a policy in Red Sandstone City that gives free land to those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment. I recently achieved my Foundation Establishment, so it¡¯d be a waste not to take advantage of this,¡± explained Chen Mobai.


    When Chen Mobai was at university, his residence registration was changed to Crimson City.


    Now that he found out about these benefits upon returning, he naturally wouldn¡¯t let it slip by.


    ¡°Son, your entrepreneurial spirit makes me very proud, but starting a business is not a simple matter. After getting the land, you need to build a factory, where is the startup capital coming from? Even if you get the factory up and running, managing the operation team is another big issue. Even if all this is completed, there¡¯s the problem of how to distribute and sell the talismans you manufacture¡­¡±


    Tang Panchui, who had been a worker in a talisman factory for over twenty years, was deeply versed in the complexities of the industry.


    ¡°How about opening a small shop first to accumulate some experience?¡± Chen Mobai suggested after the lecture, feeling that he had not considered things thoroughly, though his entrepreneurial spirit remained undaunted.


    As a trader between the two worlds, he felt that it was necessary to open a proper factory on the cultivation side to act as a cover for his large-scale reselling activities in the future.


    ¡°That¡¯s a much better idea, and if you truly plan to start a business after graduation, I do have an opportunity for you,¡± Tang Panchui suddenly proposed, surprising Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Mom, you¡¯re a worker, do you have a startup opportunity?¡±


    ¡°Our boss is said to be close to reaching the sixth rank in Foundation Establishment. If he wants to progress further, he definitely cannot stay in a small place like Red Sandstone City, he has to venture to the larger Heavenly Caves. When he leaves, he will have to handle these factories. I¡¯ll talk to him, if you¡¯re genuinely interested, he might be inclined to sell to you,¡± Tang Panchui explained.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but recall his childhood days playing in the talisman factory where his mother worked.


    He had met the boss several times, a very mild-mannered man.


    His name was Wu Shangru, a graduate of Cinnabarite Institute. He successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment during his school years, and was adopted by Red Sandstone City as a prospective talent. After years of hard work in talisman crafting and business, he set up his now-existing industry.


    However, every gain comes with a loss. The resources and spiritual energy in Red Sandstone City could not compare to those larger Heavenly Caves. Despite having earned tens of millions of Good Deed Points, his cultivation level had undoubtedly been progressing slowly.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, Wu Shangru should be around 80 years old. If he could not reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment within the next forty years, and miss the peak of his physical and spiritual energy, it would basically be hopeless for him to achieve Core Formation.


    If Wu Shangru had more ambitious goals, he indeed should head towards the Great Cavernous Heaven.


    Obviously, this head graduate from the Cinnabarite Institute still retained his pride.


    In the evening, he personally made a phone call to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai respectfully addressed him as uncle, considering he watched him grow up, the latter was quite pleased with this address.


    Wu Shangru actually planned to leave Red Sandstone City a long time ago, but he had established his footing there with the help of the city government. The current city lord considered it a personal favor, and was reluctant to see him, a talent, leave.


    Even though the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the 72 Blessed Lands in the Immortal Sect had mostly migrated to the 36 Great Cavernous Heavens, the Red Sandstone City Lord would delay Wu Shangru¡¯s departure for as long as he could.


    Moreover, his Flying Sky Talisman Factory was one of their pillar industries. Although Wu Shangru promised when leaving that he would hand over the factory to local businessmen, ensuring no massive unemployment.


    But without a renowned Foundation Establishment True Cultivator taking over, the talisman factory, with its annual output value of millions, would only decline until it finally declared bankruptcy.


    For this reason, Wu Shangru, who should have left Red Sandstone City five or six years ago, was held back.


    He had already found his way out, as long as he could move his residence to Huayang Cavernous Heaven, and coupled with sixty years of experience and dedication to the prefecture¡¯s number one talisman factory, he would qualify to purchase a Water Elemental Gold Core.


    Wu Shangru actually joined the factory twenty years ago, now he just needed to change his residence.


    Now that Chen Mobai had approached him, it was a perfect fit for Wu Shangru.


    With the most popular current chief of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy taking over, it was estimated that Red Sandstone City would send him away with drumming and cheering, so that Chen Mobai¡¯s residence could be moved back as soon as possible.


    ¡°Dear nephew, you have indeed helped me out. How about this? I hire you as the spokesperson for my Flying Sky Talisman Factory. I won¡¯t give you a spokesperson fee, but after you graduate in four years, I¡¯ll give you my business here in Red Sandstone City, how¡¯s that?¡±


    Wu Shangru proposed very sincere terms at the beginning, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and agreed immediately.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll start arrangements for your mother to take over the Talisman Factory from tomorrow. If you have time, you can come back and sign the contract, if not, I¡¯ll come to Crimson Cavernous Heaven to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it and felt it would be better to go himself.


    After all, he was getting a huge bargain. For four years he was getting a reputable talisman factory, which has been around for fifty years, for free.


    Although the land belonged to Red Sandstone City, the factory building and equipment were at least worth nearly ten million Good Deed Points.


    Even if he put himself at risk, he had planned to find a quiet, low-key place to practice and improve his cultivation after graduating.


    His hometown, Red Sandstone City, was just perfect.


    Before heading back, Chen Mobai called Qing Nu first, but unfortunately, she was busy improving herself and didn¡¯t plan to return as Red Sandstone City would remind her of Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    ¡°By the way, since you could appear in Little Red Sky, are you also in Crimson Cavernous Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly thought of this question, but Qing Nu said she wasn¡¯t.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The spiritual vein of Crimson Mountain is actually one of the prehistoric dragon pulses, theoretically, it can flow through most of the Immortal Sect. That¡¯s why we chose to open Little Red Sky here.¡±


    ¡°The four main Daoist Academies and the ten universities all have internal projection lines distributed by the Immortal Sect to enter Little Red Sky. However, it¡¯s not as stable as in Crimson Cavernous Heaven, and the number of people who can enter is limited.¡±


    ¡°But after this period of beta testing, Little Red Sky has become stable. Once the core Rank-5 Spiritual Treasures are put in, the Crimson Mountain Dragon Pulse will immediately be activated, covering the whole Immortal Sect. At that time, our Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the four Daoist Academies, who have graduated long ago, will be able to enter one after another. Your unbeatable winning streak may be in jeopardy.¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai simply laughed.


    ¡°I have always been waiting for someone who can defeat me to appear.¡±

 Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 290: Returning Home in Glory_1

    Chapter 379: Chapter 290: Returning Home in Glory_1


    Qing Nu did not answer, and Chen Mobai then called Yan Bingxuan.


    Since it was agreed last year that everyone would not return, Yan Bingxuan did not return to Red Sandstone City either. She dedicated herself to enhancing her Ice Spirit Root at the Nature Studies Academy.


    However, there was good news. Her close friend, class president Mo Simin, had returned. Although Chen Mobai was only somewhat familiar with her, she was at least someone he knew.


    After greeting Hua Zijing and handing the student council matters to her, Chen Mobai bought a plane ticket overnight and returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Wu Shangru had already arranged everything, and when the City Lord of Red Sandstone City learned that Chen Mobai was transferring his household registration back, he personally came to witness the contract transfer between the two.


    The City Lord of Red Sandstone City, named Qin Baipeng, was a graduate of the Heavenly Book Academy. He had a refined appearance, bright eyes, and his upright posture gave people a feeling of strength and rectitude.


    ¡°After achieving in your cultivation, you still want to return to your hometown, you will become the second True Red Robe Cultivator.¡±


    After witnessing Chen Mobai and Wu Shangru sign the two contracts, Qin Baipeng spoke with satisfaction.


    ¡°I am honored to meet the City Lord. I wonder if the right to use this industrial land can be renewed?¡±


    The land for the Heavenly Talisman Factory was allocated to the True Cultivator Wu Shangru by the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City. In four years, Chen Mobai would officially obtain the factory. Due to the change in ownership of the land, the use right of this land is automatically voided.


    It requires Chen Mobai¡¯s name to renew a land use agreement with the government of the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°No problem, once you transfer your household registration back, I will immediately designate this land in your name.¡±


    Qin Baipeng was a decisive man who promptly clarified matters.


    ¡°Can I then transfer my household registration out?¡±


    Wu Shangru immediately asked, receiving a negative nod from Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°We can spare a little time. Little Chen still needs to study at Crimson City for four years before graduating. When he transfers his household registration back, you can then transfer out. You already work there, so four years won¡¯t matter much.¡±


    Wu Shangru had already anticipated this. He planned to ask the two Gold Core Cultivators for help if Qin Baipeng indeed refused.


    Although he now had a confirmation and felt somewhat disappointed about waiting for another four years.


    ¡°In fact, I can transfer my household registration back now if that¡¯s okay.¡±


    Seeing Wu Shangru sigh, Chen Mobai felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he was getting the Talisman Brush Factory which Wu Shangru had managed diligently for fifty years. He proposed his idea.


    ¡°Oh, if that¡¯s the case, it would certainly be best.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Baipeng burst into laughter.


    There is an Immortal Sect rule that after enrolling in a local university, students can choose whether to transfer their household registration based on their willingness.


    When Chen Mobai enrolled, he chose this option wanting to experience life as a resident of Great Heaven City.


    Since returning now has such benefits, he decided it¡¯s better to return early and help Wu Shangru.


    Sure enough, when he expressed this, all three present were overjoyed.


    To avoid delay, Qin Baipeng personally helped Chen Mobai with the procedures to transfer his household registration. On receiving the reply from Red Sandstone City, Crimson City also agreed without any delay.


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is in Great Heaven City. For those who want to move out, they barely do any review. But for those moving in, unless they are students of the Daoist Academy with rules set by the Immortal Sect, they will almost examine the past three generations.¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s change of household registration had been completed, Qin Baipeng said the above with a touch of mockery, and then also approved the transfer of Wu Shangru¡¯s household registration.


    ¡°My Taoist partner is a resident of Huayang City. If it weren¡¯t for your blockade, I would have already changed my household registration there.¡±


    To this, Wu Shangru complained a bit. If it hadn¡¯t been for Qin Baipeng¡¯s obstruction for all these years, he would have already left Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°With the wealth you have today, all thanks to the support of the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City. Now that you have reached a high cultivation level, you want to take your tens of millions of assets and leave with a clap of your hands. It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    Qin Baipeng was of a strong character and didn¡¯t mince his words.


    Knowing he was in the wrong, Wu Shangru didn¡¯t comment but gave a reluctant smile.


    ¡°Ensure a smooth transition of the Heavenly Talisman Brush Factory, otherwise, even if you go to Huayang City, I can influence your reputation.¡±


    The three of them had a meal together, then Qin Baipeng left after advising Wu Shangru. He didn¡¯t need to say that as Wu Shangru would ensure it anyway.


    In the end, on this star, all cultivators are bound to the Immortal Sect.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai followed Wu Shangru to familiarize himself with the operation of the Heavenly Talisman Brush Factory.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He finally got a look at the fully automated talisman ink production equipment he had been dreaming of. As long as the raw materials are fed and the machine is operated by the staff, high-quality talisman ink, nearly impurity-free, can be obtained after a certain period.


    There are three such devices in the entire factory, all left for Chen Mobai by Wu Shangru.


    Besides the talisman ink machine, there are also paper making machines and printing machines.


    Chen Mobai even found a device for making talisman brushes.


    However, according to Wu Shangru, this machine was a second-hand product he had acquired and could only produce Rank-1 Talisman Brushes.

 Chapter 380 - Chapter 380: Chapter 290: Return to Hometown in Glory_2

    Chapter 380: Chapter 290: Return to Hometown in Glory_2


    Though this Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory was not large, it was fully equipped. All the equipment and machinery required for making talismans were available here, the result of Wu Shangru¡¯s fifty years of painstaking efforts.


    Yet, for the sake of reaching Core Formation, he had resolutely decided to abandon everything.


    After giving Chen Mobai a tour, Wu Shangru convened all the factory workers and announced the transition. Apart from Tang Panchui and a few top-level executives who were already aware, most were shocked but prepared.


    After all, Wu Shangru had mentioned this matter several years ago.


    In the world of cultivation, the cultivation realm has always been the top priority.


    Compared to the possibility of attaining Core Formation, this factory had indeed become an obstacle to Wu Shangru¡¯s further advancement.


    ¡°I will stay here for another half year, ensuring a smooth transition of the factory to your mother.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was still studying, he naturally couldn¡¯t manage the factory for an extended period. Wu Shangru had taken this into account and willingly offered his assistance.


    Tang Panchui, who was usually quite carefree, was a little apprehensive at this point.


    After all, she had been a worker all her life, and suddenly becoming the boss was a bit overwhelming.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Wu.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Wu Shangru. With his promise, at least some of the load was lifted off Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulders.


    When he returned home that night.


    He informed his father, Chen Xinglan, of the matter, hoping he too would resign from his job and help out at the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory.


    Chen Xinglan naturally agreed.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Red Sandstone City for half a month, helping his parents take over the factory and visiting the True Man in Red Robe whenever he got a chance.


    Regrettably, the True Man had been in deep cultivation since last year and Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t gotten a chance to see him.


    However, he took this opportunity to catch up with Chansi, Shen Juanxiu, and Luan Jingsheng.


    Among them, Shen Juanxiu had failed Foundation Establishment again and had completely given up. She had begun to consider marriage under her family¡¯s arrangement, after which she would manage their family business.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai could only provide encouragement and remind her not to abandon her ambition to reach greater heights in cultivation, even after getting married and having children.


    Because of Shen Juanxiu¡¯s continuous failures, Chansi had also developed a bit of a shadow around Foundation Establishment, despite being ready for it. Now, she was devoting herself to studying the Lore of Thresholds, hoping to understand this Foundation Establishment divine skill before she took the next step.


    She was still young, and Chen Mobai was very supportive of her decision.


    Luan Jingsheng was still accumulating Good Deed Points to purchase the Foundation Establishment three treasures. He was able to obtain one of them from the institute, but he had to arrange for the other two himself.


    Thus, he had obtained the Rank-1 Talisman Maker certificate and was studying hard in the hope of qualifying as a Rank-1 Artifact Refiner.


    These old friends from Cinnabarite Institute all had a bright future.


    Shen Juanxiu lit up when she heard that Chen Mobai had acquired the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory. Her family¡¯s Spirit Sand mine mainly served various talisman factories in Red Sandstone City, as well as some individual buyers with demand.


    The Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory hadn¡¯t previously sourced their Spirit Sand from her family, but with Chen Mobai taking over, she felt it was a business opportunity she should pursue.


    ¡°Given our relationship, I would naturally prioritize you. However, I¡¯ve just taken over and will need to maintain the current mode of operation for the first couple of years. Once I understand the situation better, I¡¯ll switch to your family as the supplier of Spirit Sand.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai had reached Foundation Establishment in the cultivation world, most of his start-up capital came from Shen Juanxiu¡¯s generosity, so he naturally agreed to her request.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll graduate next year and formally join the family business. By then, clinching your order would reflect well on my performance.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu was delighted at this.


    In the cultivation world, there¡¯s a rule that if a female cultivator becomes pregnant, she can be exempted from military service.


    This was why Shen Juanxiu was in such a hurry to marry. But generally, female cultivators who make this choice essentially give up the possibility of reaching Foundation Establishment. It was for this reason that Chen Mobai had previously advised her to hold on to her dreams.


    ¡°Brother Luan is a Rank-1 Talisman Maker. If you¡¯re willing, you can join my Feitian Symbol Factory. The talisman industry has more or less reached saturation, but there¡¯s still plenty of room for movement in the area of talisman devices. That¡¯s what I plan to focus on in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Luan Jingsheng again. The latter being able to produce the Five Transformation Umbrella, a type of Talisman Artfact, even before graduation, was undoubtedly a talent.


    Luan Jingsheng was willing, of course. He hadn¡¯t earned enough Good Deed Points, and compared with working small-time with Wu Wan, joining a big company for development was clearly more promising.


    ¡°So I¡¯m the only one being left out by this Foundation Establishment true cultivator.¡±


    With a joking remark from Chen Sike, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare agree, and laughed as he raised his cup to toast her.


    ¡°If Professor Chen is willing to come to our company, I would naturally be more than happy to welcome her.¡±


    ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ve gathered my three Foundation Establishment treasures and now I¡¯m only interested in creating my own Foundation. If I fail in the future, I¡¯ll come to your company to earn some Good Deed Points.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai wished her success in her Foundation Establishment.


    After arranging for Luan Jingsheng to join the company, Chen Mobai went to visit Shi Qujin.


    ¡°Nephew, you really are worthy of being the top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Your Void Spirit Eye is probably no worse than mine.¡±


    In the Jade Utensil Hall, two true cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were chatting over tea. Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling were listening on the side. Shi Qujin, with his years of experience cultivating the Void Spirit Eye, was astounded to see Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze deep within his eyes, pure and jade-like, as clear as the empty void.


    ¡°I was lucky. I got some spiritual objects suitable for cultivation in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention that his Void Spirit Eye was already superior to his. He modestly changed the subject, speaking about moving his household registration back and taking over the Feitian Symbol Factory.


    ¡°Ah, I really envy Xiao Wu. At least he has the option to give up everything and pursue Core Formation.¡±


    Shi Qujin had known about this long ago. After all, there were only about fifty true Foundation Establishment cultivators in Red Sandstone City, and those who had the hope of Core Formation would try to go to those big cave heavens.


    It was expected that Wu Shangru, who had the hope of Core Formation, would leave.


    What they didn¡¯t expect was that it would be Chen Mobai who took over.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t expect Nephew to be willing to return.¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy can exchange for Fire Element Gold Core Pills. It doesn¡¯t matter where my household registration is. If there is a chance to obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, I might be more eager than Uncle Wu.¡±


    Chen Mobai said in self-deprecation, but Shi Qujin couldn¡¯t laugh.


    He probably wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment in his lifetime and had given up many years ago.


    ¡°Nephew, you¡¯re welcome to visit whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    After visiting Shi Qujin and expressing his friendly stance towards the other Foundation Establishment true cultivators in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai bid his leave.


    In the following time, Chen Mobai invited classmates like Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, and Cao Yaling for a meal, but unfortunately, many made excuses to not come.


    He didn¡¯t mind and started to focus on managing his first business.


    Feitian Symbol Factory has an annual output of about twenty million Good Deed Points. Last year¡¯s profit was 1.2 million Good Deed Points. Chen Mobai found this puzzling. A Foundation Establishment true cultivator working for a salary also has an annual salary of a million Good Deed Points. It seemed Wu Shangru had wasted his effort in setting up the factory.


    Wu Shangru personally explained that he had another personal talisman shop on the Fairy Door Network. All the talismans sold there were Rank-2 or higher boutique talismans, and the profit from that part also equated to a million Good Deed Points.


    The raw materials were all from the Feitian Symbol Factory, and he considered the sales pure profit.


    No wonder Wu Shangru gave up his business in Red Sandstone City so resolutely. He had already set up his own brand.

    Chen Mobai could only admire this and couldn¡¯t blame him. However, Wu Shangru promised to pay with Good Deed Points for talisman paper and talisman ink from the Feitian Symbol Factory from now on.


    Chen Mobai humbly asked Wu Shangru for business advice, and the latter answered all his questions.


    ¡°Uncle Wu, if I want to get four million Good Deed Points in a short period, do you have any good suggestions?¡±


    ¡°This is simple. The talisman factory I left for you is a high-quality asset without any debts or loans. You can use the property and land use rights as mortgage at the Fairy Door Bank. They will easily loan you not just four million, but even eight million.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was enlightened.

 Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_1

    Chapter 381: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_1


    After spending half a month in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai had no choice but to return to Crimson City.


    Because the new school term had begun.


    This year he officially became a sixth-grade student.


    However, for Chen Mobai, the division of grades no longer held any meaning.


    After all, after Foundation Establishment, he would barely attend classes. He would appear only at the year-end examinations to earn credits.


    This year, Chen Mobai, as usual, chose three main courses: Talismans, Puppetry, and Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    He just replaced Sword Control from last year with Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    The main reason being that he had completed all the knowledge related to ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± offered by the academy, having a firm grasp of everything from the cultivation of Rank-1 to Rank-2 Spirit Rice, to the maintenance of the Spirit Field.


    To progress further, and dive into the knowledge regarding Spirit Fields and Spirit Rice above Rank-3, he had to join the major discipline of Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    After his three major courses, he had some elective courses. After completing all credits for the most burdensome Agricultural Studies, he started to focus on ¡°Herb Distinguish¡± and ¡°Treasure Appraisal¡±.


    These two courses were crucial to becoming a major merchant in the future.


    However, to earn credits, he still chose courses like Mineral Identification and Extraction of Pigments from Talisman Ink.


    Having completed the Calligraphy course, Chen Mobai also selected other Spirit Plant related subjects such as Geo-survey, Mining Geology, and Protection and Cultivation of Spiritual Medicines.


    After registering, Chen Mobai arranged a time to meet Yu Rulin, who informed him that the reserves of Life-replenishing Elixirs and Longevity Pills were quite abundant. Thus, he did not rush to pawn the Talisman factory he owned in Red Sandstone City.


    He decided to wait until he had accumulated a set of Immortal Fruit before dealing with this issue.


    After all, pawning also required interest. Saving a bit here and there could lead to accumulated savings.


    The next few days returned to the normal rhythm.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment, he began to concentrate on improving the Cultivation Level and Realm of this Divinity Transformation Technique.


    After all, even if he successfully completed his Foundation Establishment using the Immortal Fruit in the future, he would still need to elevate this technique to the same realm if he wished to use the ¡°The Union of Differences¡± for Core Formation.


    Fortunately, the Immortal Cultivation side had Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. As long as the realm was achieved, he could use this elixir to replenish his Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai earned glory for the Dance Tool Dao Academy in Little Red Sky, and as an academy reward, received one hundred vials of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, which was sufficient to complete the first layer of Foundation Establishment of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s ability to break through one realm per year was due to the wonders of ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, and the function of the high-grade Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Upon comparing the circumstances of Immortal Cultivation in the Tianhe Realm and the Earth Yuan Star, Chen Mobai felt that on the Immortal Cultivation side, the most remarkable Spiritual Medicine should be this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Although not every cultivator in the Immortal side can afford Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai, at least, had the means to procure it.


    Furthermore, after consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, a corresponding amount of Spiritual Energy was required to manifest its effects. The thing that Chen Mobai was least lacking in, whether in Crimson Mountain or the Tianhe Realm, was Spiritual Energy.


    This year, Chen Mobai honed his Fire and Wood attribute Spells in Little Red Sky while using Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to boost his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Without a doubt, as time progressed, the level of duels between True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in Little Red Sky was becoming increasingly fierce.


    In the beginning, Chen Mobai was able to easily suppress and defeat Cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment using his rich combat experience and spells. By the start of the new semester, however, some Cultivators, to his surprise, were already capable of pushing him to the point where he had to utilize Sword Light to achieve victory.


    The Cultivators in the mid stages of Foundation Establishment progressed even faster.


    When facing the top individuals among them, Chen Mobai sometimes had to go all out to ensure his victory.


    However, this was also a significant grind for him.


    After expanding his rule into half of the academy¡¯s territories in Little Red Sky using the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and the Primordial Yang Sword, the opponents Chen Mobai encountered became increasingly numerous. There was even a time when his legendary invincibility was almost broken.


    The challenger was a rising star of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, named Nangong Xiu. Although his Cultivation Level was only at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, he had partially cultivated the Six Controlling Technique and was hailed as the second Lan Haitian.


    The match between Nangong Xiu and Chen Mobai still ranks first in the video on demand of Little Red Sky.


    Fortunately, in the end, Chen Mobai ended up winning, using the Sun Rising Technique Flame Burst Technique Triggering Green Yang Fire Sword Light to penetrate Nangong Xiu¡¯s Six Controlling Technique, and securing his victory.


    In addition to Nangong Xiu, Chen Mobai also encountered the Divine Transmuting progenies of the other two Daoist Academies.


    In addition to Qing Nu, the Jumang Daoist Institute also had an Innate Heavenly Spiritual Root. However, his mastery over the ¡°Eight Wildernesses and One Qi Technique¡± was still quite shallow. Since he was not good at Magic Duels, the pressure he gave Chen Mobai was far less than that given by Nangong Xiu.


    Apart from the four major Daoist Academies, there were hidden dragons and tigers among the remaining ten major academies, with several talents similar to Lu Qiulong.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Luckily, they generally lacked fighting spirit and hadn¡¯t fully amassed their Magic Duel skills, allowing them to calmly accept the result of failure when facing Chen Mobai.


    But Chen Mobai had a feeling that in a few years, after they had become familiar with their own power in Little Red Sky, it wouldn¡¯t be as easy for him to secure victories.


    For Cultivators, time flew the fastest.


    Divine Wood Sect.


    It was once again time for the year-end Sect Competition. For Qi Cultivation disciples, this was a battle that could change their destiny.

 Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_2

    Chapter 382: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_2


    For Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was a rare period of leisure after a busy year.


    ¡°What a pity that Senior Brother Yuan is still in seclusion; he will not get to taste this Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.¡±


    In his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai sat on the ground, opening a large jar of spiritual wine brewed from Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice harvested last year. The rich and mellow scent of the wine permeated the air, causing everyone present to narrow their eyes in intoxication.


    ¡°It seems I came back at just the right time this year.¡±


    E Yun, sitting next to Chen Mobai, spoke.


    This year, there weren¡¯t many battles at Yun Meng Ze. E Yun transported the inner cores of demonic beasts and other precious items back to the sect. He also took the opportunity to apply for resources like Spirit Stone Arrays for the coming year.


    Besides the two of them, Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao were also present. The former had been quite close to Chen Mobai ever since the event at Lonely Spirit Ridge ¨C after all, they could be considered friends who had gone through life and death together.


    As for Yue Zutao, he was someone Chen Mobai had always wanted to befriend. After all, he was the only one who had sampled the Tree Fruit beverage.


    Before, when he was invited to Xiao Nanshan, Yue Zutao didn¡¯t come because he felt it was too far. Today, he was in Divine Wood City and when he heard that Rank-2 spiritual wine was going to be opened, he gladly attended.


    This Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine did not disappoint the four Foundation Establishment true cultivators present.


    After each of them had a taste, their faces flushed, and a faint white mist ascended from their foreheads. A long while later, everyone sighed in relief, relishing the satisfaction of their vitality and spirits. They couldn¡¯t help but praise it.


    ¡°I did not expect that this Spiritual Wine made from Rank-2 Spirit Rice, just one sip, has an effect almost comparable to taking a Rejuvenation Elixir.¡±


    The Rejuvenation Elixir is a Rank-2 lower-grade elixir, used by Foundation Establishment cultivators at the early stage to nourish their bodies and invigorate their vitality. If taken long-term, it can also help in cultivating spiritual power and enhancing divine sense.


    Even though it¡¯s not too expensive, at ten Spirit Stones each, the sheer quantity needed is daunting. Basically, any Foundation Establishment cultivator in a good condition would keep hundreds of them on hand.


    And those body refining cultivators would take it day and night.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, when will this Rank-2 spiritual wine be available in your shop?¡±


    After drinking, Yue Zutao couldn¡¯t help but inquire about placing an order.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that will have to wait ten years.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made everyone on the scene gasp in surprise.


    ¡°Junior Brother, why does it take so long?¡±


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, could you explain to Elder Brother E and the others?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately called on his little disciple who was serving at the side. Her cultivation level had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. In these two years, she had been focusing on cultivating Spirit Rice and concocting Medicinal Wine. Her originally fair skin had developed a slightly jade yellow color, making E Yun almost fail to recognize her.


    ¡°Two elder uncles, this is how it is. The maturation of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes ten years. The Spirit Rice used for brewing this wine was ripened using a special method by my master; its quality is actually not up to Rank-2.¡±


    E Yun and Yue Zutao looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.


    On the other hand, Yan Jinye, who had been frequently visiting Xiao Nanshan this year, already knew about this. In fact, she even participated in the process of brewing the wine.


    ¡°But that¡¯s not right, this jar of Spiritual Wine is a genuine Rank-2.¡±


    The difference between Rank-1 and Rank-2 was something that these Foundation Establishment cultivators could discern. The Elixirs and Spiritual Wine of Rank-1 were of no use to them now, only a Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could let their bodies and minds be intoxicated and circulate their vitality efficiently.


    ¡°That¡¯s because the ripened Spirit Rice retains some of the characteristics of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. Besides, during the brewing process, with the help of Elder Sister Yan, we integrated the formula of the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, and brewed it using medicinal wine techniques. Yet even so, out of 26 jars, only two were successful.¡±


    As Zhuo Ming said this, she took out another jar of Spiritual Wine from her storage bag. Although it also gave off a tempting aroma of wine when opened, it wasn¡¯t nearly as intoxicating as the one they were drinking.


    ¡°This one failed. Although it can be considered Rank-1 Spiritual Wine, it¡¯s completely useless for elder uncles.¡±


    E Yun and Yue Zutao filled a large bowl and took a sip. Although the taste was not bad, it was as Zhuo Ming said, of no use to them Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    ¡°It¡¯s still considered a success. After all, for Qi Practitioners, this Spiritual Wine is definitely a great tonic.¡±


    Yan Jinye, who was sitting on the side, spoke up. Without her, a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help, it would have been basically impossible to brew Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    Therefore, to thank her, Chen Mobai gave her a Rank-2 Elixir formula, earning Xiao Nanshan the exclusive right to brew this Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    At this, Yan Jinye was extremely delighted. She even told Zhuo Ming privately that she should feel free to notify her if she encountered any problems while brewing new medicinal wines. As long as Yan was free, she would come to help.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, there¡¯s still one jar, so hurry up and open it.¡±


    Having understood the reasons, E Yun immediately turned his attention to the other jar of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°Elder Brother, let¡¯s finish this jar first.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai patted the jug by his side that was almost half his height. With their drinking capacity, it would be good if they could finish half.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I was reserved in drinking because the wine wasn¡¯t up to par. For this jar of wine, I could finish it on my own.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai burst into laughter.


    ¡°If Elder Brother E can truly drink that much, I will gladly offer the other jar I have been saving.¡±


    ¡°Good. Add my portion, and I guarantee we will finish both jars today.¡±

 Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_3

    Chapter 383: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_3


    Suddenly, another familiar voice echoed in mid-air, and a green light flashed. Yuan Chiye, with a smile, stood atop the roof.


    ¡°Huh, have you caught a whiff? I thought you said you were in seclusion and won¡¯t have time?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked even more pleased upon seeing this old friend who had led him into Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The Sect Leader summoned me, so I came out from seclusion. I just so happened to notice the Message Talisman you sent, isn¡¯t that a coincidence?¡±


    Yuan Chiye came down laughing and sat opposite to Chen Mobai. Liu Wenbo standing on the side immediately filled a bowl and served him.


    ¡°You, always there when good things are happening.¡±


    E Yun couldn¡¯t help but laugh upon seeing this.


    In the end, Chen Mobai managed to save another jug of his wine.


    Because E Yun and the others never had Rank-2 Spiritual Wine before, they didn¡¯t expect the alcohol content to be so strong. Halfway through, they all found it hard to keep up.


    Yan Jinye, being a woman with more delicate manners, left early.


    The other four, however, got utterly inebriated till dawn.


    Upon waking up, Chen Mobai filled a small jug for each of them to take away. E Yun and Yuan Chiye took theirs without hesitation, but Yue Zutao felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to pay with a Spirit Stone, but felt it wasn¡¯t a suitable occasion.


    ¡°Brother Yue, just visit us more often in the future.¡±


    ¡°Absolutely! Chen Mobai, do drop by my place whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    Their bond of friendship seemed to have taken its first step.


    After seeing his guests off, Chen Mobai was about to sit down for his practice, to dissolve the remaining alcohol in his body.


    Suddenly, he noticed Zhuo Ming sitting in the corner, her skin glowing red, her body emitting clouds of mystic energy, almost like an immortal from the clouds.


    Liu Wenbo was standing beside her, serving as her protector.


    Chen Mobai glanced over and immediately understood what was happening.


    Zhuo Ming had broken through to Qi Cultivation Level Seven.


    She was at the sixth level of the Eternal Life Scripture before she switched her Cultivation Technique. After joining Chen Mobai for over two years and practicing the Mother Earth Scripture, she finally overcame the bottleneck issue that had plagued her for a long time.


    It seemed that she had drunk half a glass of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine last night. Along with her already accumulated energies, it was naturally conducive to her breakthrough.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior sister.¡±


    After Zhuo Ming regained her senses, her flushed round face was filled with excitement. Liu Wenbo waved at her.


    ¡°Thank you, senior brother, for your protection, and thank you, master, for the wine.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought back and remembered that he did say something last night about letting both his disciples taste the wine.


    Liu Wenbo, being at Qi Cultivation Level Nine, could easily process it after meditating for several rounds.


    Zhuo Ming, on the other hand, managed to break through her bottleneck just by chance. You could only say she was well-prepared.


    ¡°Both of you should have a jug as well. During each practice, Ming, take a sip to aid your advancement.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the jug filled with a quarter of the wine left and said this to his two disciples.


    Neither of them refused. Having experienced the potency of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine, they naturally knew it was superior to any Rank-1 elixir.


    ¡°Also, those failed batches of Rank-1 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine are just right for you two to consume in the long run. Take two jars each, and leave the rest for sale at the South Mountain Shop. It¡¯s about time we made our investment back.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having set his mind on becoming an inter-realm trader, established a talisman factory in the immortal realm and naturally, he should have some business on this side of the Tianhe Realm as well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The South Mountain Shop, which he hadn¡¯t put much attention into before, was also about time he started doing business again.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    After his two disciples took their leave, Chen Mobai gave some guidance to his elder disciple Liu Wenbo, who was about to participate in the sect¡¯s grand tournament. There was hope this year that he could become a true disciple, so Chen appropriately imparted some Magic Duel experiences to him.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t sign up before as she was only at Qi Cultivation Level Six and was busy with the harvesting of Spirit Rice in South Mountain at the end of the year.


    Although she had now broken through her confines, she also had little confidence in Magic Duel and didn¡¯t take Chen Mobai¡¯s words to heart. She was totally focused on expanding and strengthening the South Mountain Shop.

 Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter 292 Divine Wood Sect Changes_1

    Chapter 384: Chapter 292 Divine Wood Sect Changes_1


    After hosting a banquet for E Yun and others, Chen Mobai invited friends like Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and Qi Hou within the sect the next day.


    After making each of them taste a cup of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, they all praised it effusively.


    Before departing, Chen Mobai instructed Zhuo Ming to gift each person a jar of Rank-1 wine.


    On the third day, Chen Mobai went to visit the three Foundation Establishment leaders of the Spirit Plant Department with the wine.


    Inspector Sun Gaochang, the senior leader, was given two jars, and although he wasn¡¯t familiar with the other minister and deputy minister, he personally gifted each of them a jar of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°Do you have more of this wine? I¡¯ll buy all of it,¡± he said.


    Sun Gaochang was a heavy drinker. After taking a sip, he couldn¡¯t stop and quickly finished a jar with Chen Mobai. After the drink was finished, he wanted more but still had some sense left. He saved the remaining jar and didn¡¯t open it.


    ¡°I have some more, but I haven¡¯t delivered any to the Sect Leader yet. I also need to ask a favor from Minister Zeng of the Alchemy Department, so I need to deliver two jars there as well.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered honestly, indicating that the Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could only be internally tasted at this time. Bigger production and selling would have to wait until the first batch of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice matures.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Sun Gaochang sighed, then immediately pre-paid a deposit of a thousand Spirit Stones and reserved a large barrel once he heard that Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was well stocked.


    Chen Mobai accepted without hesitation, promising to have it delivered by his apprentices.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, you¡¯re still within our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s organization, right?¡±


    After the gifts had been delivered and Chen Mobai was about to say goodbye and leave, Sun Gaochang stopped him and spoke abruptly.


    ¡°Yes, I wouldn¡¯t have been so easily victorious in the sect competition if Inspector Sun hadn¡¯t given me the Divine Wood Sword. If I hadn¡¯t won, I probably wouldn¡¯t have received the Foundation Building Pill and might still be at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, waiting hard for the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to mature.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand what Sun Gaochang meant, but being familiar with the superficial language from the time he spent every year living at his grandfather¡¯s house, he expressed the gratitude he owed the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Well, Chen, you know, among the twelve departments in the sect, each only has a position for three Foundation Establishment cultivators. If we three won¡¯t leave, you¡¯re permanently stuck with the benefits of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Elder, haven¡¯t you thought about progressing further?¡±


    Sun Gaochang had also nurtured Chen Mobai and recognized his character, so he spoke frankly.


    ¡°Do you mean, Inspector, for me to leave the Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    ¡°Ah, not at all. I¡¯m suggesting you should be promoted. Chu Zuoshu, the Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, looks highly on you. There would be some changes in the upper layer of the sect in a few years, some positions would be open and you can become an Inspection Envoy in the Reward Virtue Hall, and get promoted again when a position for Inspector in one of the twelve departments is open.¡±


    Sun Gaochang¡¯s words were intriguing. Changes were to happen in the upper levels of the sect? Chen Mobai exchanged a look with him and knew there would be no further explanation.


    Although Chen Mobai was nominally mentored by Sun Gaochang, they¡¯re, in fact, like water and gentlemen. Unlike the solid friendships with E Yun and Yuan Chiye which had started from nothing, Sun Gaochang had his own circle and was much older than Chen Mobai. Unless he completely committed to him, both of them would not be able to fully confide in each other.


    His sudden talk was not Sun Gaochang¡¯s idea. It should be that something was going to happen in the upper layers of the Divine Wood Sect, and someone wanted to involve him in the upfront battle power.


    The person was also hinted at by Sun Gaochang, the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu.


    Among the three halls and twelve departments in the Divine Wood Sect, the Spirit Plant Department was under the Reward Virtue Hall.


    If Chu Zuoshu brings Chen Mobai up, it would conform to the rules, although Sun Gaochang had mentioned it first. The tactic was at least not offensive to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Inspector Sun and Hall Master Chu for your kindness, I¡¯ll think about it carefully when I go back.¡±


    Chen Mobai dedicated himself to cultivation most of the time. He spent most of his time with the Divine Wood Sect in Xiao Nanshan, so he was confused about the upper situation and dared not hastily answer.


    ¡°Very well, Chen, don¡¯t forget my barrel of wine.¡±


    Sun Gaochang personally sent Chen Mobai out. With a wide smile on his plump face, the two of them seemed like true bosom friends in front of others.


    ¡°Surely.¡±


    After greeting his familiar friends in the Spirit Plant Department, Chen Mobai went to Shenmu Hall.


    Because E Yun had given Meng Hong a heads-up in advance, he didn¡¯t go fishing today and waited for Chen Mobai¡¯s visit.


    ¡°Hmm, this wine is good. Didn¡¯t you say you still have a barrel of it? Why did you only give me two jars?¡±

    Meng Hong was not shy about accepting the opened jar. After a sip, his face turned rosy, and his whole demeanor became radiated. He looked like he had even younger by two years.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader needs, I will dig out that barrel and have it delivered to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had a high regard for Meng Hong. After all, when he just established his Foundation, he gifted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Divine Wood Sword, and ten thousand Spirit Stones. He kept this kindness in his heart.


    ¡°Forget it, just saying. Just send over five jars.¡±


    Meng Hong shook his head, then motioned for Chen Mobai to leave. He was going fishing.

 Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Chapter 292 Changes to Divine Wood Sect_2

    Chapter 385: Chapter 292 Changes to Divine Wood Sect_2


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is how it is¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai too, did not dare to waste Meng Hong¡¯s time and repeated what Sun Gaochang said to him. The man in front of him was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, the top core player. He definitely understood the implications.


    Chen Mobai was still his disciple E Yun¡¯s man, asking him wouldn¡¯t be wrong.


    ¡°That Chu Zuoshu, he was suppressed by me for a lifetime, and now upon hearing that I am stepping down, he¡¯s getting impatient.¡±


    Meng Hong listened and chuckled helplessly.


    ¡°Oh, Sect Leader is stepping down?!¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, his face was shocked. Although he had heard about this matter a long time ago, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.


    E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and others had only established their foundations a few years ago. If Meng Hong stepped down at this time, they were probably unable to take the position of Sect Leader due to their insufficient cultivation levels.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to be 180 years old soon, if I don¡¯t form a core, I guess there¡¯s no chance in this lifetime.¡±


    Meng Hong said regretfully about the reason.


    As long as anyone calculated his age, they could basically know this. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to form a core, the best age naturally is before their lifespan is half over, that is, 120 years old.


    However, Meng Hong has practiced the Immortality Art, which has added 60 years to his lifespan, allowing him to survive until the age of 180.


    For this very reason, when he reached perfection in foundation establishment twenty years ago, many people had already thought of this.


    After all, compared to Core Formation, the position of Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect seemed too trivial.


    The other six major factions in the Eastern Wilderness were actually also paying attention to this matter.


    They originally thought that Meng Hong would immediately step down from the position of Sect Leader after reaching perfection in foundation establishment to prepare for Core Formation, but who knew that he still held on for another twenty years.


    ¡°I have already reported this matter to the two elders. I will officially step down in two years.¡±


    ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Zuoshu should take over. But he is also at foundation establishment perfection, he is Sect Leader only to get the Core Formation spiritual medicine. Once your group matures, he will step down to prepare for Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°However, his desire for power is stronger than mine. Among the next generation, Hong He and Yin Qingmei are Elder Fu¡¯s disciples, Zhou Wangshen and E Yun are my disciples, his direct disciple Yue Zutao wasted his potential after ingesting the divine tree fruit. Therefore, he probably intends to train you as the representative of his camp.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to hear this, he did not expect that Yue Zutao was Chu Zuoshu¡¯s disciple.


    After Meng Hong decided to retire and form the elixir, he let go and told Chen Mobai about the personnel relationships of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    ¡°Your move to the Reward Virtue Hall is good, it just balances the power of the three main halls, which will prevent the Reward Virtue Hall from collapsing after Chu Zuoshu steps down.¡±


    With Meng Hong¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was reassured.


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, he went to the Alchemy Division next.


    Through Yan Jinye, he had already made an appointment with Zeng Woyou in advance, and the latter had even prepared dinner in advance.


    Chen Mobai brought two jars of Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, although Zeng Woyou did not drink alcohol, he still praised this rank-2 spiritual wine that his own disciple improved.


    However, in the Tianhe realm, it¡¯s common to secure the best things for oneself first, so Zeng Woyou did not mention the recipe of this medicinal wine.


    ¡°Chief Zeng, this is the situation. I am practicing a Divine Consciousness technique that requires Bamboo Fruit as the main ingredient to concoct a type of elixir. The spiritual effectiveness of the three Bamboo Fruits last time was very good. I wonder if you could arrange to give me a few more.¡±


    After a satisfactory meal, Chen Mobai made his request.


    Both batches of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew made by Wang Xingyu at the end of last year have been used up this year. He could use academic points to exchange for Vermillion fruits, but Bamboo fruits are very rare in the immortal door, and purchasing it would require at least millions of Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai now had more Spirit Stones and fewer Good Deed Points, so he turned his attention to Tianhe Realm.


    Last time Zeng Woyou asked him to save Yan Jinye, it cost three Bamboo Fruits, Chen Mobai, with a try-it-out mentality, delivered two jars of wine.


    ¡°How many do you want?¡±


    ¡°Three per year.¡±


    With the improvement of his cultivation level, especially the progress of the Divine Manipulation Technique, Chen Mobai¡¯s demand for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is also increasing. However, three bamboo fruits would be enough for him.


    ¡°Only spiritual bamboo over 60 years old can produce bamboo fruits upon ripening. There are only 46 such bamboos left on Green Bamboo Mountain. I can only get six more bamboo fruits for you at most. Any more, and I, as the head of the Alchemy Division, would not be able to cover for it.¡±


    Zeng Woyou was telling the truth. He could use alchemy as an excuse to catalyze the Spiritual Bamboos into Bamboo Fruits, but there were limits to what he could do.


    After all, he was not the two old elders who could control and hide everything within the sect.


    ¡°I¡¯m extremely grateful, Elder Brother Zeng.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied. At least he could ensure a supply of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the next two years.


    In two years, the sect leader position would change hands, and they would see how the situation evolves then.


    Anyway, he had his sights set on the forty Rank-2 Spiritual Bamboos on Green Bamboo Mountain.


    The next day, Yan Jinye personally visited and delivered a jade box.


    Inside were three freshly ripened bamboo fruits.


    Spiritual Medicines were most potent immediately after picking, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask for all six fruits at once. He gave the one thousand spirit stones that Sun Gaochang had paid for the alcohol to Yan Jinye as payment for the bamboo fruits.


    After Yan Jinye sat for a while, E Yun and Yuan Chiye also came over.


    ¡°Then I will take my leave first.¡±


    Though Yan Jinye and Chen Mobai were close, he didn¡¯t want to label himself as part of E Yun¡¯s faction.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, do you want to go to the Reward Virtue Hall?¡±


    After the three of them were left alone, Yuan Chiye opened the conversation with this question. Chen Mobai had informed them of his plans through a Message Talisman and had summoned them to discuss it further.


    ¡°The sect leader thinks it¡¯s a good idea for me to go.¡±


    With these words, Chen Mobai hinted at his intention to go.


    ¡°Good, if Chen Junior Brother can take control of the Reward Virtue Hall in the future, I will have more clout in the Shenmu Hall.¡±


    After understanding his hint, E Yun didn¡¯t object but just nodded lightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s also good for Chu Zuoshu to take over as sect leader. Zhou Wangshen¡¯s Taoist body is likely to reach the first level of perfection after getting enough Tree Juice from the Divine Tree. By then, I¡¯m afraid only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be able to deal with him.¡±


    As soon as Yuan Chiye¡¯s words fell, E Yun gave him a displeased look. Zhou Wangshen could reach perfection with his Taoist Body because of the Divine Tree Juice that Yuan Chiye gave him.


    ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. The sect leader hinted that it would be better to focus on creating one complete long-lived Taoist Body rather than two half-power ones.¡±


    Yuan Chiye defended himself, and his every uttered word was the truth.


    The Divine Wood Sect still had some sense of unity. Zhou Wangshen got a Gourd full of Divine Tree Juice from the Divine Tree Secret Realm on his own, in addition to that from Yuan Chiye. Combined, it was just enough for one person to cultivate a Long-lived Taoist Body.


    As the sect leader, Meng Hong would naturally favor his disciple, Zhou Wangshen.


    As Yuan Chiye needed spirit stones, he just went along with it.


    E Yun could not blame him for this. After all, in his heart, he too agreed with Meng Hong¡¯s view. Although he had competition with Zhou Wangshen, he couldn¡¯t let their rivalry escalate to the point of internal strife.


    ¡°What did the sect leader call you out for this time?¡±


    After discussing the matter of Chen Mobai going to the Reward Virtue Hall to become an Inspection Envoy, the topic turned back to Yuan Chiye. He had planned to seclude himself for ten or eight years after selling the Divine Tree Juice out of guilt towards E Yun. However, he was summoned by the sect leader after just over a year.


    ¡°There has been some trouble with the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation. There¡¯s a deficit of eight thousand spirit stones, and I need to go investigate.¡±


    ¡°Eight thousand spirit stones? I recall that mine only produces about twenty thousand spirit stones a year. With such a large deficit, could it be that the local immortal cultivating families are colluding to deceive us, the Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun sensed where the problem lay.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This is the reason why I was sent to investigate. The report submitted by Elder Brother Luo is somewhat vague. There¡¯s a possibility that he might have been bribed. That¡¯s why my movements this time may need to be discreet.¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai remembered another matter.


    Last year, Luo Yixuan, who he had an eye on, he wondered if she could become a true disciple in this year¡¯s sect-wide competition.


    Although she had been concealing her brilliance, allowing Luo Yixiu to stand out, Chen Mobai spotted that her talent and realm were above Luo Yixiu¡¯s.


    Among those who joined the Divine Wood Sect at the same time, Luo Yixuan was second only to himself, comparable to Yulian Cha.

 Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments _1

    Chapter 386: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments _1


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Isn¡¯t Lei Nation Zhou Wangshen¡¯s territory?¡±


    Yuan Chiye: ¡°He was taken by Zhou Laozu. The Sect Leader can¡¯t just go to Divine Wood and ask Zhou Laozu for him.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly stunned.


    If that was the case, then Meng Hong stepping down early was actually a good thing. With Zhou Wangshen¡¯s background and talents, if he cultivated the Taoist Body of Eternal Life, indeed no one in the sect could compete with him for the position of Sect Leader.


    Now, thanks to Chu Zuoshu acting as a buffer, Chen Mobai might even have a chance in a few decades.


    E Yun: ¡°When are we leaving?¡±


    Yuan Chiye: ¡°I was initially thinking of leaving after the grand sect competition, but last night the sect leader had the witchcraft division send over related documents. He probably wants me to set off as soon as possible.¡±


    Hearing this, E Yun and Chen Mobai furrowed their brows. The two looked at each other and sensed something was off.


    E Yun: ¡°Junior Brother Yuan, this matter might be suspicious, so be careful.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The Sect Leader is not such an impatient person.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye nodded slightly. He had already felt that there was something wrong, and now after hearing the two¡¯s words, it confirmed his suspicions.


    E Yun: ¡°If I remember correctly, Brother Luo should be returning to the sect this year after his tenure as a town guard.¡±


    Under the Divine Wood Sect, they command four countries. Every ten years, a Foundation Establishment cultivator is dispatched to guard the territories. This is considered one of the tasks within the sect that is not given much attention. While it provides a significant amount of contribution points and Spirit Stones, there is no place as abundant in spiritual energy as Giant Tree Ridge for cultivation.


    However, precisely because not many people are willing to go but cannot be left unattended, the Divine Wood Sect has a rule.


    Every Foundation Establishment cultivator who wishes to hold a key position among the three Halls and twelve divisions within the sect must have the experience of guarding the four countries.


    After Shan Hongyi returned to the sect, E Yun had already taken over the position of town guard of Yun Country.


    Yun Country borders Yun Meng Ze, and he spends a lot of his time supervising the development of the number one spiritual realm in Eastern Wilderness. As long as he doesn¡¯t encounter a catastrophic loss due to a beast tide, E Yun could greatly increase his strength, influence, and even Spirit Stones after saving up for ten years.


    By the time his duty as the town guard ends and he returns to the sect, E Yun can use these ten years¡¯ savings to attempt to break through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.


    If he succeeded, he would be in contention for the position of Sect Leader. If not, he might at most end up as one of the heads of the twelve divisions or vice hall master of one of the three main halls.


    Before Meng Hong stepped down, he had at least arranged a path of ascension for his disciples.


    Lei Nation also borders Yun Meng Ze and was assigned to Zhou Wangshen. Last year, a Spirit Stone Mine was discovered. Before Luo Shupin¡¯s tenure as town guard ended, Zhou Wangshen was already eagerly going there to negotiate with the local Immortal Cultivation families and establish his presence.


    ¡°About the deficit in Spirit Stones, Brother Luo definitely knows the inside story. The reason he did not reveal it to the Sect can only mean one of two things, either the higher-ups are suppressing it, or he has encountered a problem in Lei Country.¡±


    Yuan Chiye was not entirely without preparation. After receiving the Sect Leader¡¯s order, he had already begun investigating related people and affairs.


    ¡°You mean¡­ betrayal.¡±


    E Yun directly mentioned that term, while Chen Mobai remained silent after hearing it.


    ¡°Or he could have been controlled by opposing forces. After all, Brother Luo is only in the early Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, however, was not in a position to make such a judgement, and his comments were more discreet.


    Either way, Luo Shupin, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s town guard of Lei Nation, had most definitely run into issues regarding the Spirit Stone deficit.


    ¡°Brother Luo comes from a cultivation family in Yun Country, which is just under my command. After the grand sect competition, I plan to visit the Luo family to probe for any information.¡± E Yun broke the silence, however, he seemed to suddenly recall something, turning to Chen Mobai, ¡°In recent years, due to Brother Luo, the Luo family has sent quite a few people to the sect. At least two who tested with Chen Junior Brother back then have shown good promise.¡±


    When the Divine Wood Sect was conducting Spiritual Realm testing in Yun Country, although E Yun did not show his face and Yuan Chiye was in charge, E Yun was observing behind the scenes and remembered a few individuals with extraordinary Spiritual Roots.


    This was precisely why E Yun was able to rush to the scene when Chen Mobai was being robbed by South Mountain Thieves.


    ¡°The Luo siblings, they reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation last year. Luo Yixiu has a deep pool of spiritual power, and his spells are well-practiced. If he hadn¡¯t met a True Inheritor, he might have been considered for the twenty-four sequence, while Luo Yixuan is slightly inferior.¡±


    Yuan Chiye was well-informed and began to explain all this in detail as soon as E Yun asked. Before Chen Mobai could say anything, Yuan Chiye had already explained everything.


    ¡°After the grand sect competition, you, using my token, invite them to drink tea in my courtyard.¡±


    E Yun nodded his head and instructed Yuan Chiye.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai remained unmoved and did not say anything.


    ¡°By the way, Brother E Yun, you obtained a demonic beast inner core last year in Yun Meng Ze. Does it represent that our sect is preparing to cast the demonic beast Foundation Building Pill once again?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai asked about another matter. Last year, the Divine Wood Sect reaped massive rewards in Yun Meng Ze, particularly when E Yun and Hong He, two Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, jointly hunted down a Rank-2 Peak Pig Baolong.


    ¡°Indeed, the Sect Leader has already ordered the head of the alchemy division to put aside other alchemy duties and fully concentrate on casting Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    ¡°It seems, the Sect Leader wants to pave the way for your Junior Brother Mu Yuan before stepping down.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said teasingly.


    After Chen Mobai reached Foundation Establishment, Mu Yuan had been holding the top position among the True Inheritors for three consecutive years.

 Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments_2

    Chapter 387: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments_2


    A Beast Foundation Building Pill was completed; regardless of how many pills were made, Mu Yuan would certainly have one.


    In response to this, E Yun just gave a faint smile without expressing any opinion.


    The three went on to discuss how the situation would change after Meng Hong¡¯s abdication until it was getting dark. Liu Wenbo returned from participating in the Sect Competition, and then E Yun and Yuan Chiye took their leave.


    ¡°Master, did elder brother easily achieve victory today?¡±


    Zhuo Ming contributed eagerly to Liu Wenbo¡¯s victory report. The siblings had set out early in the morning. Even though she did not participate, she got a great joy out of watching Magic Duels.


    ¡°Good, be sure to remind me to watch before the True Disciple stage.¡±


    Chen Mobai was interested in watching the Sect Competition in the two years just after his Foundation Establishment. But now, the level of the Qi Cultivation disciples¡¯ Magic Duels, can no longer attract him.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the critical True Disciple stage and his own disciples and several friends participating, Chen Mobai probably wouldn¡¯t even go watch the last few rounds of battles among True Disciples.


    ¡°Master, are you going out this late?¡±


    Zhuo Ming was about to prepare some Spirit Delicacies and warm a pot of wine when she saw Chen Mobai heading towards the door.


    ¡°I have an old friend to meet.¡±


    Chen Mobai sent out a Message Talisman before leaving. Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t dare to ask whom he was going to see, they just watched him leave.


    About an hour later.


    On a slope outside Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai stood there basking in the fresh wind, utterly at ease.


    He saw a stern young man dressed in black clothes flying over from a distance, and in no time at all, he was at the bottom of the slope. After seeing Chen Mobai, he sprung up and landed right next to him.


    ¡°Chen Uncle, why did you call me out so late? Is there something important?¡±


    Yu Lian asked with a puzzled look.


    This being within the Divine Wood Sect, if it was anywhere outside Giant Tree Ridge, he would not have come alone.


    ¡°With your talent and Cultivation Level, becoming a True Disciple should be as easy as lifting your hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question to which Yu Lian was puzzled, as they both had a brief conversation last time.


    ¡°Becoming a True Disciple is for obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, and the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom will mature in four years. If I become a True Disciple before then, it would only expose my spells and Magic Artifacts, which I do not want to.¡±


    Yu Lian provided a reasoning consistent with Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding.


    Indeed, although becoming a True Disciple would bring more Spirit Stone salaries each year, and decent Spiritual Land for cultivation.


    But for Yu Lian, who was already under the tutelage of Shan Hongyi, practicing Qi Cultivation in a Rank-3 Spirit Vein land, and already possessed plentiful Spirit Stone savings before joining the Divine Wood Sect, these benefits didn¡¯t matter much.


    What could truly attract him to become a True Disciple was just the Foundation Building Pill.


    In order to ensure a moment of glory in the Sect Competition when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature, also the most heated competition year, it is indeed best to remain unmoved as a mountain now.


    ¡°What if I said that the Sect is already preparing to refine a batch of Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated a sentence that made Yu Lian¡¯s eyes widen.


    ¡°Is this true.¡±


    Without Chen Mobai reminding him, Yu Lian already thought of the Beast Foundation Building Pill. After all, the most dazzling Chief for the past century in the Divine Wood Sect accomplished his Foundation Establishment this way.


    This successful example has caused other True Disciple who originally doubted the Beast Foundation Building Pill to lump it in with the orthodox Foundation Building Pill in their minds.


    If he had the opportunity to obtain a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Yu Lian felt that there was no need to hide anymore.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Sect Competition has already begun this year and you didn¡¯t sign up.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and sighed again.


    ¡°After the True Disciples are determined, the disciples who did not register have the right to challenge the twenty-four True Disciples.¡±


    Yu Lian spoke coldly. Although he wasn¡¯t interested in True Disciples, he was very aware of the rules of the Sect.


    ¡°But True Disciples also have the right to refuse a challenge.¡±


    Chen Mobai countered, after all, even True Disciples could get hurt in the Sect Competition. To prevent others from taking advantage of their weakness, the Divine Wood Sect had given True Disciples the power to refuse a challenge.


    ¡°I will challenge those True Disciples who won easily and are in good condition. If they don¡¯t want to be laughed at by the Sect¡¯s people, they will surely accept.¡±


    Yu Lian had already figured out his plan upon hearing about the Beast Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Hmm, a Beast Foundation Building Pill can yield only two or three pills per batch. If you want to compete for it, you¡¯ll have to work hard.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai left with a smile.


    ¡°Why has Uncle Master Chen told me about this?¡±


    Yu Lian immediately asked. Although he was somewhat of a fellow townsman with Chen Mobai, they never had any interaction during their time in the Bud Hall. Their only exchange had been when buying Red Sun Wood for firewood and Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude had been quite aloof.


    As a Loose Cultivator who had already experienced plenty of bloodshed before joining the sect, the unexpected cordiality from Chen Mobai made him somewhat uneasy.


    ¡°I¡¯m a person who values the camaraderie of our hometown greatly. You have potential, so I thought I¡¯d share this with you.¡±


    ¡°If Uncle Master Chen needs anything in the future, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse?¡±


    Facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yu Lian could only make such a promise.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss that when you achieve Foundation Establishment.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke these words, he had already stepped onto a cloud of smoke and mist, flying away from this hillside.


    Seeing this, Yu Lian clenched his fists tightly.


    Foundation Establishment, he must achieve Foundation Establishment.


    Only by achieving Foundation Establishment could he avenge the annihilation of his sect.


    The sect¡¯s grand competition soon reached the crucial battle to become a True Disciple.


    On the dueling platform, Luo Yixiu, with an arrogant expression, defeated a True Disciple from last year and proudly displayed his ¡°mighty¡± cultivation level.


    While in the tea house next door, in one of the elegant rooms on the second floor.


    Dressed in a white palace costume, with a scholarly demeanor and fair skin, Luo Yixuan knelt in front of two Foundation Establishment elders of the sect, a look of anxiety on her face.


    ¡°To avoid affecting your mood during the sect¡¯s grand competition, we didn¡¯t inform you and your brother in time. Now that you¡¯ve been eliminated this round, we thought it was a good time to tell you about it.¡±


    Across from Luo Yixuan, Yuan Chiye sipped his tea, informing her about the incident at the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation and the possible mishap involving Luo Shupin.


    ¡°Please see reason, our great-uncle would never betray the sect.¡±


    All Luo Yixuan could say was this. The Luo family¡¯s foundation in the Yun Country was solidified not only by their patriarch who had achieved Foundation Establishment, but also by Luo Shupin in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Anyway, once the crime of betrayal was confirmed, not only the Luo family disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, but all of the Luo family in Yun Country could be implicated.


    After all, the large sects in the Eastern Wilderness, despite the decades of peace, all had bloody pasts to their beginnings. The methods to extinguish cultivating families and minor sects were numerous.


    ¡°It¡¯s because we trust Senior Disciple Luo that the sect wants to send someone to investigate the truth.¡±


    After Yu Chiye uttered these words, he took out a letter from E Yun and handed it over to Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°After the grand sect competition, Senior Disciple E would like to invite you and your brother over for tea. Expect you to relay everything you¡¯ve seen and heard in Lei Nation during these past few years without omitting any details. We are informing you in advance so you can recount everything accurately when the time comes.¡±


    After saying this, Yu Chiye waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yixuan could leave.


    Chen Mobai had been sitting on the side drinking tea, silent throughout the entire conversation.


    Before she left, Luo Yixuan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but eventually bowed her head and withdrew due to the silent pressure from the two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Oh, Luo Yixiu has become a True Disciple.¡±


    At this moment, Yuan Chiye opened the window and saw Luo Yixiu stepping down from the dueling platform.


    ¡°Among our generation, his talent could be ranked within the top five. He deserves such an achievement.¡±


    Chen Mobai uttered a sentence that confused Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Top five? He¡¯s the second to become a True Disciple after you. How did you calculate this top five?¡±


    When faced with Yuan Chiye¡¯s doubts, Chen Mobai pointed to himself.


    He was ranked first, an assertion Yuan Chiye had no objections to.


    ¡°Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, my disciple, then Luo Yixiu ¡ª he is fifth.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I can accept Yu Lian, but didn¡¯t Luo Yixuan get eliminated before him?¡±


    Yuan Chiye remained confused.


    ¡°She has cultivated a peculiar technique that conceals her cultivation level and Divine Sense, but it couldn¡¯t fool my eyes.¡±


    Chen Mobai gently began to speak.


    After hearing these words, Yuan Chiye looked surprised. He stared at Luo Yixuan, who had just left the tea house, and approached the smug-looking Luo Yixiu. With the reminder from Chen Mobai, he observed more carefully and as a cultivator who had achieved Foundation Establishment, he indeed noticed something.

 Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 294 Comments_1

    Chapter 388: Chapter 294 Comments_1


    In the Tianhe Realm, due to the unique environment, many Qi Practitioners love to conceal their true cultivation levels to confuse potential enemies and flip the table at critical moments.


    Even when Yuan Chiye was training his Qi, he had made use of such mechanisms to hide his true cultivation level.


    He hadn¡¯t paid much attention before, but now, with the keen sight of the Foundation Building Realm and past experience, he unhesitatingly discovered the fact that Luo Yixuan had hidden part of her cultivation level.


    To the eye, it seemed as though she had recently entered the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, but in truth, she was almost at Qi Cultivation Perfection, at par with the senior disciples of true lineage.


    If she had a Rank-2 magic artifact and didn¡¯t conceal her abilities, she would likely not defeat the true disciples handpicked by the twelve department heads of the three halls. However, there wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to rank within the top twenty-four.


    ¡°What is she trying to achieve with this?¡±


    Yuan Chiye scratched his chin, commenting curiously.


    The Luo Family is a practitioner¡¯s family in Yun Country, and she has the backup of Luo Shupin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, in the Divine Wood Sect. Typically, only those without backing in the Tianhe Realm will practice such techniques to hide their cultivation levels.


    ¡°Perhaps, she doesn¡¯t want to overshadow Luo Yixiu.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a casual guess, but the real reason could only be known by understanding the Luo family¡¯s intentions in Yun Country or hearing from Luo Yixuan herself.


    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s not important. The key point now is the situation with Lei Nation. I wonder if Luo Shupin is alive or dead?¡±


    Before the end of the year, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect delivering the spirit stones found a discrepancy in the amount. After a count, nearly eight hundred spirit stones were missing.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples had personally received the bag from Luo Shupin, they should have counted it then. But the disciple was hesitant to count in front of the master cultivator and trusted Luo Shupin¡¯s character, so he filled in the reported amount in the handover document.


    Upon discovering the discrepancy, the Reward Virtue Hall naturally wanted to investigate.


    Generally, for assignments requiring foundation establishment cultivators, the Divine Wood Sect would assign two or three people to ensure full clarity about the truth of the situation.


    The case of missing spirit stones from Lei Nation¡¯s mine, in theory, should have been led by Zhou Wangshen, with one person from each the Reward Virtue Hall and Penalty Evil Hall.


    Like Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye was once a chief of the Formation Division. After establishing his foundation and finding no available position, he stayed in the Formation Division as a wandering elder.


    While the Penalty Evil Hall did invite him over as an inspector, Yuan Chiye wasn¡¯t interested. He wanted to join Shenmu Hall and help E Yun, who lacked support.


    However, due to big plans, the Reward Virtue Hall didn¡¯t send anyone to do the task and had the Shenmu Hall arrange for it.


    Not surprisingly, a mere loss of eight hundred spirit stones was insignificant to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Meng Hong reviewed the files of the Lei Nation spirit stone mine, he found that Yuan Chiye had participated in it. So it was decided, at the time when Zhou Wangshen couldn¡¯t intervene, Yuan Chiye was the only choice.


    So, the secluded Yuan Chiye was called over to represent Shenmu Hall, fully responsible for handling this situation.


    Perhaps the Sect Leader made a promise, if this matter is handled well, he will let him into Shenmu Hall.


    Hence, Yuan Chiye poured his heart and soul into this.


    ¡°Who was dispatched by the Penalty Evil Hall?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked this key question after hearing the story.


    ¡°I am not sure, the tasks of the three halls are generally carried out separately, and the final truth and results are concluded by comparing the reports of the three people¡¯s archives by the sect.¡±


    The system of the Divine Wood Sect was quite interesting, but if the matter were to be investigated, it would not be possible to keep it under wraps.


    After all, there are only so many cultivators who have established foundations within the sect, just by looking at who is not in their usual place, basic deduction can guess who took the task.


    ¡°Right, you are going to take up your post in the Reward Virtue Hall, right? Why don¡¯t you inform Chu Zuoshu, come with me to Lei Nation and investigate this matter.¡±


    Yuan Chiye suddenly suggested something, but Chen Mobai had an instinctive reluctance to travel.


    What he liked best was to stay peaceful in his small piece of land, farming, cultivating, practicing techniques, and experiencing the slow rate of improvement and evolution.


    But since Yuan Chiye said so, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t refuse.


    ¡°I can report to Reward Virtue Hall only after the end of the year, but I can pay a visit to Master Chu and see if I can get the appointment letter in advance, and go with you to Lei Nation.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry, I estimate the investigation will take several months. It¡¯d be best if we can get approval from Master Chu, but if not, it doesn¡¯t matter. Though I¡¯m average at magic duels, my survival skills are top-notch.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said with a smile, to which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    Later on, the two of them saw the twenty-four true disciples of this year advancing one after another on the second floor.


    Mu Yuan remained dominant, unbeatable.

    Next were familiar faces like Feng Hongxue, Li Yixian, Ding Ying, Guo Sheng, as well as new faces making a name for themselves.


    For example, Luo Yixiu, Lian Maozhi, Jiang Zongheng, Gu Yan, and others.


    ¡°Your batch finally started to grow.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Chiye commented with a sigh.


    Six years ago, when E Yun and Zhou Wangshen were assigned the task of guiding the spirits and recruiting new disciples, the Yun Country batch attracted attention due to the emergence of Chen Mobai, a rare sword cultivation genius, thus believed to be the most gifted batch.

 Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: Chapter 294 Review_2

    Chapter 389: Chapter 294 Review_2


    However, among the group of new disciples from the Rain Country, Jian Country, and Lei Nation, there are quite a few astoundingly talented individuals.


    Lian Maozhi from Lei Nation, Gu Yan from Rain Country, and Jiang Zongheng from Jian Country have already become true disciples last year.


    It should be known that they managed to secure their position among the twenty-four ranks in spite of the absence of Rank-2 magic artifacts and against the competition of fifteen contenders from the three halls and twelve divisions, demonstrating their talent and proficiency in magical duels.


    ¡°This year Luo Yixiu has been added, and these four are likely to be considered as the leading candidates for the next generation of true disciples.¡±


    Yuan Chiye implied as he spoke, and currently, a magic duel that was extremely crucial for Chen Mobai was taking place on the fighting stage.


    One of the participants was Liu Wenbo, and his opponent was a true disciple from the Body Forging division.


    Though Liu Wenbo tried hard, his opponent was stronger; they managed to knock Liu Wenbo off the stage with relative ease, without even using a Rank-2 magic artifact.


    ¡°Truly, the reputation of Yun Country¡¯s immortal cultivation world still has to rely on me.¡±


    Beneath the stage, Luo Yixiu, who was waiting for the results of the bout, saw Liu Wenbo knocked off the stage and squinted his eyes as he spoke with a smile to his sister, Luo Yixuan, who was walking over.


    ¡°Big Brother is like a fallen heavenly immortal. Only you can inherit Master Chen¡¯s reputation.¡±


    Luo Yixuan knew that two elder cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were watching them from above, so her words were somewhat more respectful than usual, but Luo Yixiu showed displeasure after hearing her words.


    ¡°If I had received a Foundation Building Pill, I would have reached the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago. I am myself, I don¡¯t need to inherit anyone¡¯s reputation.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan could only lower her head and give a bitter smile, not daring to say more, so as to not irritate her proud and conceited older brother even further.¡±


    ¡°Wen Bo, after I become a true disciple, I want to gather the Qi Cultivation disciples from the Yun Country within the sect. If you are willing to be my assistant, after my Foundation Establishment, I will give you my position as the true disciple.¡±


    But contrary to her expectation, Luo Yixiu took the initiative to approach Liu Wenbo instead.


    Seeing Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming standing together, their faces filled with confidence and pride, it seemed as if they did not put any true disciple in their eyes.


    ¡°Frogs at the bottom of the well.¡±


    At this, Liu Wenbo only spoke four words, then turned around to leave with Zhuo Ming¡¯s assistance.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Luo Yixiu, who had never been treated this way, had a flash of anger in his eyes, but he was rational enough to know that while Liu Wenbo was ordinary, he had at least three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yun Country behind him, so he could only swallow his anger.


    ¡°Hmph, when I become the sect leader, I¡¯ll make him realize that he missed out on an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in a single bound.¡±


    Hearing her brother¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan¡¯s beautiful eyes filled with even more anxiety. She glanced surreptitiously at a window on the second floor from the corner of her eyes, but Luo Yixiu did not notice this at all, as he was already thinking about his opponent in the next round.


    Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye, naturally, saw all this.


    ¡°This chap¡¯s attitude will cause him a great deal of trouble in the future. However, your disciple¡¯s spiritual root and talent seem to be inferior to his, you might want to revise your ranking a bit.¡±


    Yuan Chiye sharply critiqued Luo Yixiu, but he did recognize the latter¡¯s talent and naturally shifted the topic to Chen Mobai¡¯s previous comments.


    ¡°I was speaking about my little disciple.¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured to Zhuo Ming, who was helping the injured Liu Wenbo. Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye¡¯s eyes widened, he looked at Zhuo Ming, but he couldn¡¯t see anything extraordinary in her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see again in ten or twenty years, and see if my judgement today holds up.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was not a professional educator, he had undergone nine years of mandatory education and had studied for six years in the top Daoist academy. He believed that his methods of teaching disciples were far superior to anyone else¡¯s in the Tianhe Realm.


    Zhuo Ming had a weak foundation and had chosen the wrong cultivation technique, which delayed her for twenty years and made her seem average and ordinary.


    But under Chen Mobai¡¯s tailored guidance, along with her own hard work and the appreciation for this rare opportunity, diligently farming and practicing the Earth Mother Cultivation, the hopes for her to reach Foundation Establishment stage in the future might even surpass Liu Wenbo¡¯s.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s bet a jar of wine. However, this year¡¯s true disciples are still the old faces. If you were to bestow a powerful Rank-2 magic artifact, your disciple might also become a true disciple.¡±


    ¡°Even if she enters the top twenty-four true disciples this year, how does it matter? There are many big fish lurking beneath the surface. If you don¡¯t believe me, just wait until the round before the Foundation Building Pill is perfected. By then, a Rank-2 magic artifact could be the standard.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai felt regret about Liu Wenbo¡¯s defeat, it was only normal for his main disciple, Liu Wenbo, who had only recently reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and whose spiritual power and spell control were far from perfect, to lose. It was essential that he practiced diligently over the next four years.


    ¡°To strike iron, one must be strong himself. Currently, due to the lack of Foundation Building Pills, many people are not interested in the position of a true disciple.


    But after four years, those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation who have prospects to become true disciples will borrow a Rank-2 magic artifact as a last resort, even if it means getting into debt.


    ¡°There will be Foundation Building Pills next year too, but not many people seem to have gotten that news,¡±


    Yuan Chiye looked at the familiar twenty-four true disciples, and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, feeling dispirited and ready to leave.


    ¡°I informed someone, perhaps there will be a good show.¡±


    Chen Mobai told Yuan Chiye about his notifying Yu Lian, the latter¡¯s eyes lit up immediately.


    ¡°This kid Yu Lian, when he joined the sect, he seemed to have already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. However, after he became a disciple under Elder Shan, he has been diligently cultivating, even more indifferent to fame and fortune than you. If he¡¯s willing to make a move, there might be a good show this year.¡±


    Right after the last true disciple was confirmed, an elder who was presiding over the sect¡¯s competition was about to announce to resume the fight tomorrow when Yu Lian jumped out.


    ¡°I want to challenge a true disciple.¡±


    When he landed on the stage, he did not conceal his cultivation level. The fluctuation of spiritual power of complete ninth level Qi Cultivation caused all remaining disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, numbering in the thousands, to look at him.


    ¡°Who do you want to challenge?¡±


    The presiding elder, after confirming that Yu Lian had not registered this year, nodded and asked.


    ¡°Him.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Yu Lian pointed at Luo Yixiu, who was sitting below the stage watching the show.


    ¡°Me?¡±


    Luo Yixiu opened his eyes wide, incredulously pointed at himself, then a surge of anger rushed to his heart. Before the elder could ask him if he was willing to accept the challenge, he immediately guided a flying sword onto the stage.


    ¡°Yu Lian, you came at just the right time. Since we were in Bud Hall, I¡¯ve had my eyes on you. If it weren¡¯t for the rules that new disciples can¡¯t duel, I would have shown everyone that I¡¯m the rightful first place in our batch.¡±


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s attitude left the elder presiding over the sect competition speechless. Following the sect¡¯s rules, he asked again.


    ¡°Are you willing to accept his challenge? You have the right to refuse.¡±


    ¡°I accept. I want him to know that he¡¯s picked the most impossible opponent to defeat.¡±


    In Luo Yixiu¡¯s cold smile, he held another defensive magic weapon in his hand. He also had a Rank-2 treasure given by his family to ensure his position as a true disciple.


    However, he felt that, to deal with Yu Lian, two Rank-1 magic artifacts would be enough.


    ¡°Then let it begin.¡±


    After the elder announced, he flew down from the stage. At the same time, a gleam of light shone in Yu Lian¡¯s eyes. He then drew a sharp long knife with a silver glow from his sleeve.


    The dazzling light of the blade seemed like a surging sea of snow, covering half of the stage in an instant.


    This long knife was actually a Rank-2 magic artifact.


    Yu Lian didn¡¯t hold anything back with his first move. His years of life and death battles made him understand the importance of taking the initiative.


    In just an instant, Luo Yixiu wore a shocked face and hastily brought out his secondary Rank-2 magic artifact. The artifact was a bowl, a defensive weapon.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But due to inadequate preparation, the bowl hadn¡¯t absorbed enough spiritual power and the defensive aura failed to function. The moment it made contact, it was knocked away by the silver long knife.


    Fortunately, Yu Lian knew that he was currently a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. When his knife reached Luo Yixiu¡¯s neck, he reversed the knife and knocked Luo Yixiu¡¯s chest with the back of the knife.


    Even so, the chilling knife aura invaded his body, causing Luo Yixiu to spit out blood while he was knocked off the stage.


    ¡°If he calls himself second rank, I would agree.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Chiye nodded, acknowledging Chen Mobai¡¯s previous assessment.

 Chapter 390 - Chapter 390: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_1

    Chapter 390: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_1


    The sect¡¯s grand competition ended with an unexpected outcome.


    Although Mu Yuan still ranked first with his profound base in the Immortal Life Scripture, the Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed in his hand, and his Rank-2 Magic Artifact. He was still able to withstand a few moves even when faced with cultivators in the state of Foundation Establishment.


    But the second place was surprisingly taken by the suddenly appeared Yu Lian.


    If it wasn¡¯t for him becoming a True Disciple through challenges, and being targeted by all during the last few rounds, with almost all of his cultivation technique cards exposed by the time he entered the finals, perhaps Mu Yuan would have had a fierce fight with him.


    Nonetheless, Yu Lian becoming the second True Disciple still caused a huge sensation within the Divine Wood Sect.


    As the stepping stone of Yu Lian¡¯s rise, Luo Yixiu was secretly complained about by quite a few True Disciples.


    If he had refused Yu Lian¡¯s challenge in the first place, the latter wouldn¡¯t have been able to become a True Disciple due to not having signed up, and all these troubles wouldn¡¯t have occurred.


    While the grand competition was progressing to the last two rounds, the news that the Alchemy division was preparing to refine a furnace of a Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pill was finally spread and was known to all the True Disciples.


    Following Chen Mobai, Mu Yuan, who had held the first position among True Disciples for three consecutive years, would undoubtedly receive one.


    According to the pill formation rate of Zeng Woyou three years ago, there would be at least two pills.


    The second Yu Lian, instantly became the object of all True Disciples¡¯ jealousy.


    The two True Disciples who ranked third and fourth found their respective department heads in a bid to invalidate this year¡¯s performance of Yu Lian.


    Despite knowing that such an act would lead to them being ridiculed by other True Disciples and even all the Qi Cultivation disciples, in the face of the Foundation Building Pill, they had no other choice than to abandon any notion of shame.


    After all, the good example of Chen Mobai suppressing the entire sect¡¯s three thousand Qi Cultivators with one sword strike three years ago, obtaining the Demonic Beast Foundation Establishment Pill, and then catapulting overnight to become the sect¡¯s youngest Foundation Establishment elder was right in front of their eyes.


    As long as they could drive Yu Lian away, they would have the hope of obtaining the Foundation Building Pill.


    When the department heads of the Puppet division and the Artifact Refining division came to meet him, Sect Leader Meng Hong naturally showed a bit of interest. Once he learned about the whole story, he also became a bit curious. He let his subordinates from the Witchcraft division and the Technique Transmission division investigate Yu Lian¡¯s background.


    Upon investigation, they found some surprises.


    Thus, on the second day of the sect¡¯s grand competition, Meng Hong convened the upper echelons of the Reward Virtue Hall and Punishment Hall to discuss, and finally decided to temporarily freeze Yu Lian¡¯s second place results.


    The news reached Chen Mobai, surprising him.


    ¡°Oh, why would the Sect Leader do that?¡±


    Chen Mobai was in the Reward Virtue Hall. He was led by Sun Gaochang to visit Chu Zuoshu. The latter was dressed in brocade and had a straight-looking face. Visually, he could beat Meng Hong ten times over.


    The news of Yu Lian¡¯s results being frozen was told to Chen Mobai by Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°He seems to be an orphan of the Silver Sky Sect. Although he used a knife as a sword during the sect competition, traces of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture were still discovered by the Witchcraft Division. The Sect Leader consulted me and the Vice Hall Master and we decided, just to be safe, to freeze his results.¡±


    ¡°Silver Sky Sect?¡±


    This was an unfamiliar term to Chen Mobai, as he had never heard of it. However, he didn¡¯t bother understanding the forces in Tianhe Realm or even Eastern Wilderness. The time may be better spent cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    ¡°The Silver Sky Sect is the inheritance of the Wangu Sect. The Wangu Sect was the overlord of Eastern Wilderness before the Five Elements Sect. They were wiped out by the seven great sects in Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°The Silver Sky Sect was established by disciples of the Wangu Sect who conceded to our Five Elements Sect back in those days. It¡¯s a pity that the Silver Sky Sect made some minor moves during the split of our Five Elements Sect and was expelled from their original place in Yun Country by the Ancestor of the Fire Vein.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s unexpected though, that after the Silver Sky Sect relocated to the neighboring Snow Country, it quickly began to decline. After the sect¡¯s three Foundation Establishment cultivators each passed away, the sect was raided by a group of mysterious cultivators twenty years ago. All inheritances and foundations obtained from the Wangu Sect were completely looted.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was very pleased that Chen Mobai was willing to come to the Reward Virtue Hall, with Yue Zutao accompanying them and brewing tea. They sat together, all at the Foundation Establishment realm, discussing the origins of the Silver Sky Sect and the Wangu Sect.


    ¡°So, the fall of the Silver Sky Sect has nothing to do with my Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled as he opened his mouth. The fall of the Silver Sky Sect, although it originated from the infighting of the Five Elements Sect, was in the final analysis due to their own lack of strength, holding the foundation of the Wangu Sect, and the sin of harboring precious things.


    ¡°True as it may be, who knows what the descendants of the Silver Sky Sect think. If they harbor resentment, wouldn¡¯t giving him the Foundation Building Pill be inviting a wolf into the house.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words made sense, and both Sun Gaochang and Yue Zutao nodded in agreement.


    Chen Mobai merely took a sip of his clear tea and said nothing.


    ¡°Does Junior Brother Chen have a different opinion?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Chu Zuoshu also noticed this and asked.


    ¡°A little bit. Yu Lian became a True Disciple completely according to the rules and laws of the Divine Wood Sect. If today his achievements are stripped away due to such unfounded resentment, then in the future, could the upper ranks of the sect use the same excuse to strip other True Disciples of their Foundation Building Pills?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s words weren¡¯t explicit, everyone present was quick-witted and understood what he meant.


    This precedent must not be set.


    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t really have any opinion on this matter. After all, I¡¯ve agreed with the Sect Leader that I¡¯ll support whatever he wants to do for the next two years.¡±

 Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_2

    Chapter 391: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_2


    ¡°As long as he gives me the position of the sect leader after he steps down.¡±


    ¡°However, Quan Shanlin believes that we should eliminate any potential threats in advance, not only deprive that disciple of the second rank in the true inheritance but also make him work in the Penalty Evil Hall for constant supervision.¡±


    Chen Mobai sitting here today signifies that he is now allied with Chu Zuoshu, so the latter speaks very directly.


    Although he doesn¡¯t pay much attention to matters outside his cultivation progress, Chen Mobai is still aware of Quan Shanlin.


    The Vice Hall Master of the Penalty Evil Hall.


    Although he is the vice hall master, he is essentially the acting hall master, as the nominal hall masters of the Shenmu Hall of the Penalty Evil Hall are the two Gold Core elders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    These two naturally wouldn¡¯t manage trivial matters on a daily basis, so the vice hall master of Shenmu Hall is Meng Hong, the sect leader, and the vice hall master of the Penalty Evil Hall is Quan Shanlin, the cherished disciple of old master Fu and also a high-level expert at the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    Among the three halls of the Divine Wood Sect, only the Reward Virtue Hall is led by Chu Zuoshu, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he and Meng Hong are both disciples of elder master Zhou, so this hall master role is stable and secure.


    ¡°The sect leader has a kind heart and just plans to freeze the disciple¡¯s score this year and hone him. After four years when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, if he truly has the talent, he will still get a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu reveals the decision they agreed upon when they discussed this matter among the three major halls. Now, Chu Zuoshu fully supports Meng Hong. With the two of them in agreement, Quan Shanlin can¡¯t object.


    ¡°With such action, even without resentment, I¡¯m afraid it would emerge.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. If it were him and the recognition he earned through his hard-earned efforts were frozen due to such circumstances, even the most open-minded person would harbor resentment.


    When the Divine Wood Sect is prominent, Yu Lian certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to show it, but if an accident happens in the future, this bit of resentment might become a seed, ready to sprout rapidly.


    ¡°Indeed, this person must be talented compared to his peers considering he has achieved the second rank in true inheritance on his first attempt. If he harbors resentment and reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, this would present a great risk for the sect.¡±


    After being reminded by Chen Mobai, Chu Zuoshu also realizes this.


    Meng Hong only has a couple of years left, and given Yu Lian¡¯s ability, obtaining a true Foundation Building Pill in four years would be a breeze. But by then, he would likely harbor resentment because of today¡¯s matter.


    In that case, Chu Zuoshu, being the leader at that time, would have to pay for the mistake Meng Hong made today.


    After all, if Yu Lian successfully reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, his own position as a sect leader would be very awkward.


    He is an elder of the Divine Wood Sect, but he might not be faithful! If he advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, thousands of spiritual stones need to be granted each year, in addition to providing him with the appropriate spirit veins and duties, and Yu Lian and the sect will likely harbor mutual suspicion due to this.


    ¡°The sect leader¡¯s edict has not yet been issued, I will go to the sect leader again and see if we can discuss this again.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu thought it through, he put down his tea cup, stood up, and decided to go to Shenmu Hall.


    Chen Mobai did not expect that Chu Zuoshu was such a vacillating leader who is easily influenced, and also impulsive when it comes to taking action.


    Upon reaching this conclusion, he left his guest behind and left on his own.


    ¡°Brother Chen, have some tea.¡±


    Yue Zutao can only act on behalf of his master and entertain guests like Sun Gaochang and Chen Mobai.


    After finishing a pot of tea, the two immediately took their leave.


    ¡°Brother Yue, it¡¯s getting late. Today I have to send off Brother Yuan. I originally planned to ask the hall master if I could represent the Reward Virtue Hall in investigating the deficit of the spirit stone mine in Lei Nation, but it seems I can only discuss it another day.¡±


    In fact, deep down, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to travel, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to mention it. Now that Chu Zuoshu has gone to Shenmu Hall, he¡¯ll have to bring it up the next time they meet.


    ¡°That should be easy. However, it might have to wait till next year when your assignment officially shifts from the Spirit Plant Department to the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    As one of the inspection envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall, Yue Zutao is very knowledgeable about the process.


    ¡°That would be a great help, Brother Yue.¡±


    They were in the Reward Virtue Hall in the Divine Wood City. After they left, Sun Gaochang returned to the Spirit Plant Department, while Chen Mobai headed directly to E Yun¡¯s mansion.


    Interestingly, he ran into the Luo siblings at the entrance.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master Chen.¡±


    Luo Yixuan elegantly lifted the hem of her palace dress and respectfully greeted Chen Mobai. On the other hand, Luo Yixiu standing beside her took a step back as soon as he saw him.


    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s all go in together.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally knew why they had come but what he didn¡¯t expect was that Luo Yixiu, who was full of vigour and arrogance after becoming a true disciple after the sect competition, would end up like this after being defeated by Yu Lian.


    He noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s glancing in his direction but dared not meet his eyes, staring at the ground with a frightened and timid look. It seemed as though he had completely lost his confidence, as if he had been thoroughly crushed.


    ¡°Chen¡­ Uncle¡­ it¡­ has nothing to do with me¡­ the issue of Uncle Luo¡­ I¡­ I returned to the sect last year¡­ The deficit in the spirit stone mine, certainly, has nothing to do with me¡­¡±


    The words stuttered out from Luo Yixiu, fear in his voice as he muttered a string of excuses in his defence.


    Chen Mobai finally understood after hearing this.


    It wasn¡¯t Yu Lian¡¯s defeat that caused it but rather the downfall of Luo Shupin, the man he had relied on, who might even face the accusation of betraying the sect. This substantial change had caused Luo Yixiu to lose all his spirits.


    ¡°if your confidence is rooted in your family or elders, you will never truly become a powerful cultivator in this lifetime.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t particularly fond of Luo Yixiu, seeing a once proud young man become so discouraged overnight was unbearable.


    However, after reassuring him, he noticed that Luo Yixiu¡¯s head hung even lower, even hiding behind Luo Yixuan, making Chen Mobai shake his head and turned to walk into E Yun¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°Thank you for your advice, Uncle Chen.¡±


    The voice of Luo Yixuan attempting to defuse the situation came from behind as the siblings trailed into the mansion.


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s legs shook as if he was walking to the execution grounds, in the end, it was Luo Yixuan dragging him into the courtyard.


    ¡°Greetings to the three Uncles.¡±


    E Yun and Yuan Chiye had already set up a banquet, even if a pot of wine had been opened. Chen Mobai took a seat and sniffed, finding that it was rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine. He wondered whose it was.


    ¡°Sit, there are some things we need to ask you, just answer truthfully, the sect won¡¯t wrong you.¡±


    E Yun pointed at the two long tables in the courtyard, naturally on top of which were empty and devoid of food and wine.


    ¡°Yes, Uncle E.¡±


    After Luo Yixuan sat down, Luo Yixiu had composed himself, sitting across her.


    Chen Mobai remained silent, just focusing on eating and drinking.


    ¡°Mm, we understand the general situation. In the upcoming days, you siblings should concentrate on cultivating within the sect, I will also make a trip to Yun Country and talk to the head of your Luo family.¡±


    After asking, E Yun nodded his head and waved his hand, signaling that the two could leave.


    ¡°Three uncles, I believe that my great uncle would not betray the sect. And even if he did make a small mistake, it doesn¡¯t mean that the entire Luo family is guilty.¡±


    When Luo Yixiu got up to leave, upon hearing that E Yun was intending to go to the clan in Yun Country, worried that his last stand may be implicated, he gathered the courage to speak up.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t have time to stop him. She could only pull at her brother¡¯s clothes, trying to take him away quietly.


    ¡°Whether there¡¯s a crime, whether it¡¯s a big or small mistake, it¡¯s not you and I who get to decide; the sect will find out the truth.¡±


    As expected, E Yun, who had been facially expressionless all along, heard Luo Yixiu¡¯s words. He frowned, his tone significantly harsher in response.


    ¡°Uncle¡­¡±

    Luo Yixiu, hearing that E Yun wasn¡¯t pleased, instantly lost the courage he had gathered. He stood there helpless and not knowing what to do.


    At this point, Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t dare make any moves. She could only stand there alongside her brother, waiting for words from the Foundation Establishment elder in front of them.


    ¡°Alright, you may leave.¡±


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai spoke up.


    This mundane phrase, when heard by Luo Yixuan, was as if a heavenly sound had sounded.

 Chapter 392 - Chapter 392: Chapter 296: Rank-3 Herbs_1

    Chapter 392: Chapter 296: Rank-3 Herbs_1


    Luo Yixuan had never imagined that having her dismissed could be such an effortless task.


    Once Chen Mobai spoke, E Yun naturally stopped applying pressure and lifted his hand, indicating the Luo siblings could leave.


    ¡°The person from the Penalty Evil Hall going to Lei Nation this time is Fu Xingzhou.¡±


    When only the three of them were left, E Yun shared the information he had gathered in the last few days.


    ¡°Is it really him?¡±


    Yuan Chiye was a bit surprised.


    Chen Mobai also knew this person. In the past, Chen Mobai wanted to acquire a Foundation Building Pill for his father, so he thought about buying one from the Heavenly Spiritual Root Yin Qingmei. However, he later found out through Xi Jinghuo that the pill she owned had long been transferred to Fu Xingzhou.


    This man is the direct descendant of one of the other Gold Core ancestors of the sect, and his Spiritual Root Talent stands out as well.


    However, Fu Xingzhou kept a low profile. Since establishing his foundation, he constantly secluded himself to practice his cultivation technique. He seems to avoid creating any negative influence on Fu the Gold Core ancestor.


    ¡°He set out half a month ago, so I did not get a chance to communicate with him.¡±


    After E Yun finished speaking, Yuan Chiye waved his hand carelessly.


    ¡°Following the sect¡¯s rules, it¡¯s better that he and I don¡¯t interact. I finished my drink too, so I¡¯ll be leaving.¡±


    After saying this, Yuan Chiye put down his wine glass, transformed into a green light, took off into the sky, and disappeared over his seat.


    ¡°Elder brother Yuan is really a carefree man.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a laugh. Finishing the last of his drink, he bid farewell and left.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I am going to Yun Country to guard the place tomorrow. I¡¯ll count on you to look after the sect.¡±


    E Yun sincerely said.


    ¡°Of course, but I might have to go to Lei Nation along with elder brother Yuan to investigate the shortfall in the Spirit Stone Mine on behalf of the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    ¡°He said that casually, you don¡¯t need to pay it any mind.¡±


    E Yun shook his head. Chen Mobai was not interested in going out, so this reply would serve as an explanation to Yuan Chiye in the future.


    However, he still pretended to hesitate a little before agreeing.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After Yuan Chiye and E Yun left, Chen Mobai suddenly found himself in possession of a lot of free time.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, the one with whom he had the deepest friendship was Qi Rui.


    The two of them used to endure bloody battles against demonic beasts together on Green Light Island, that¡¯s true comradeship.


    However, since Qi Rui is a person from Tianhe Realm and Chen Mobai had established his foundation, he felt a disparity between their statuses.


    Now, unless Chen Mobai takes the initiative to invite him, Qi Rui seldom visits of his own accord. Not to mention the Qi Hou brothers and Xi Jinghuo.


    Because of this, after E Yun and Yuan Chiye left the sect one after the other, Chen Mobai had been enjoying a few peaceful days in Divine Wood City.


    One night,


    He invited Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye over for a drink.


    After they had their fill of good food and wine, Chen Mobai proposed that he was cultivating a technique for absorbing spirit and needed different cultivators¡¯ spiritual power for his understanding.


    Despite being puzzled about why they hadn¡¯t heard of this technique before, Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye trusted Chen Mobai and gave him a strand of their cultivating spiritual power without any hesitation.


    After the two left, Chen Mobai wrote down the results shown on the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his palm.


    [Yue Zutao¡¯s Spiritual Root: Gold 6, Wood 57, Water 27, Fire 12, Earth 8]


    [Yan Jinye¡¯s Spiritual Root: Gold 3, Wood 40, Water 10, Fire 35, Earth 12]


    As one of the only two Foundation Establishment cultivators who managed to obtain the Tree Fruit from Divine Tree Secret Realm in the recorded history of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had long wanted to explore and study both their spiritual roots and associated cultivation techniques to understand the pattern behind it.


    However, he wasn¡¯t close enough to Yue Zutao to do so before. Now that he had shared a drink and joined the Reward Virtue Hall, they had become good friends.


    However, the result from the Spirit-Testing Instruments was astonishing for Chen Mobai.


    Yan Jinye¡¯s result seemed normal; all his attributes added up to an exact 100. Regardless of how it was counted, he was a genuine True Spirit Root cultivator with Wood Fire dual attributes which are very suitable for the Dual Phase Technique. If his lifespan permitted, he had a hope for Core Formation.


    But there was something odd about Yue Zutao¡¯s spiritual root.


    The total amount of his Five Elements Spiritual Root added up to 110, with Wood Spirit Root reaching an astonishing 57. If he were to practice the cultivation technique for Spiritual Root in the Celestial School, he might even be able to upgrade to Heavenly Spiritual Root after spending a decade or two.


    Could it be that Yue Zutao, like Chen Mobai, had consumed some sort of spiritual object which could enhance the Spiritual Root? Or was it an enhancement after consuming the Tree Fruit?


    In response to this, Chen Mobai could only make a guess for now and confirm it through further communication later.


    After comparing the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, he found that their Wood Spirit Roots were both exceptionally high.


    This must be the key to producing the Tree Fruit on the Magic Treasure Tree!


    With this discovery, a surge of energy enveloped Chen Mobai.


    As he possessed the Wood Spiritual Talisman, he could artificially create a Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root.


    If he could send the chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators into Divine Tree Secret Realm and give them the Wood Spiritual Talisman to use while obtaining the Tree Fruit from the Magic Treasure Tree, wouldn¡¯t the likelihood of getting a Tree Fruit greatly increase?!

    However, this was just Chen Mobai¡¯s conjecture. Whether it could succeed or not still needed validation.


    Or maybe, the key was not the Wood Spirit Root, but the cultivation technique?


    Both Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye practiced the Dual Phase Technique, albeit the former practiced Water Wood while the latter Wood Fire. However, they both have practiced Eternal Life Sutra.


    This line of thought was also worth thorough investigation.


    Just when Chen Mobai wanted to continue pondering on these issues, a slight fluctuation of spiritual power fell into the courtyard. His mind stirred, and he cast the Ignition Technique to turn the paper where he had written down the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye into ashes.

 Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: Chapter 296 Rank-3 Herbs_2

    Chapter 393: Chapter 296 Rank-3 Herbs_2


    After completing all of this, he pushed open the room door and walked out.


    A youth in black clothing was standing in the courtyard, waiting for him.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see Yu Lian.


    ¡°I came to thank you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, if you¡¯re talking about informing you about the Foundation Building Pill being produced in the Alchemy Department, didn¡¯t you already thank me before?¡±


    ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I¡¯m referring to.¡±


    Yu Lian spoke without any expression. Chen Mobai was a bit surprised upon hearing this. In the past few days, no decree had been issued by Shenmu Hall under the sect leader¡¯s name to cancel Yu Lian¡¯s genuine pass mark for this year, indicating that Chu Zuoshu¡¯s persuasion had been successful.


    But this should have been something that only a few people knew about.


    ¡°You knew?¡±


    ¡°Yes, my master serves as the Inspection Envoy of the Reward Virtue Hall. He mentioned this matter when he visited Hall Master Chu yesterday, so I came to thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really know that Shan Hongyi was also from the Reward Virtue Hall, but finally, his doubt was cleared up. He was under the impression that those few had loose lips and was reminding himself to be cautious about what he says in the future.


    ¡°I simply stood up for basic order and rules. For a sect to develop and become stronger, rules are the foundation. If they are broken in your case, who else would respect the genuine achievements of the sect in the future?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yu Lian felt enlightened but puzzled at the same time.


    After all, in Tianhe Realm, the weak are prey to the strong. Order only serves the privileged. The interests of the lower echelons are only ensured and perpetuated when they do not conflict with the upper echelons.


    ¡°In the future, you can come to me whenever you have something you can¡¯t handle.¡±


    Although Yu Lian did not fully understand Chen Mobai¡¯s Immortal Cultivation mindset, he knew that he should return the favor. He gave Chen Mobai his own pledge.


    ¡°You should focus on your cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Although Yu Lian¡¯s cultivation level was already supreme in Qi Cultivation, for Chen Moyai at the moment, Yu Lian could be crushed at a finger¡¯s touch. Plus, Yu Lian has ties with the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s Wang Gu Gate, and even if he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in the future, he would likely not be at peace.


    Moreover, his two disciples were very conscientious, and he currently didn¡¯t need to use Yu Lian.


    ¡°Alright, then I will come to find you again after my Foundation Establishment next year.¡±


    After leaving these words behind, Yu Lian left Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard.


    After his departure, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming came out of the corner. Yu Lian did not hide himself, so they also felt unusual spiritual power fluctuation entering the courtyard from their own rooms.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I will return to Xiao Nanshan tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Mobai had long detected the presence of the two, and now that he had finished all his tasks in Divine Wood City, it was time to return to the Immortal Cultivation world.


    ¡°Master, we should come back with you.¡±


    ¡°No need. Wen Bo¡¯s wound has not fully healed, so stay here to recuperate. As for Zhuo Ming, isn¡¯t the business at the South Mountain Shop quite booming recently? You stay here to oversee the whole operation. After the wine is sold out then you can return.¡±


    Because the Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine had such good effects before, it has been gaining popularity among Foundation Establishment cultivators recently. However, after Chen Mobai sent it to Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong and had them send ten jars to the two Gold Core elders, only half a vat was left.


    He did not keep any for himself to drink, leaving it all for Zhuo Ming, instructing her to put a small jar in the South Mountain Shop every once in a while.


    There are approximately 100 catties in a vat and 2 catties in a small jar, Chen Mobai left his little disciples with 20 jars of Grade-2 Spiritual Wine.


    Each jar of Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was priced at 100 Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai originally thought the price was already extremely high, but after leaving the South Mountain Shop, it was auctioned off for a price of 150 Spirit Stones.


    As for this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh. It¡¯s always faster to make money by selling things related to boosting one¡¯s cultivation level.


    ¡°Master, doesn¡¯t that mean I might not be able to come back at all next year?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s small round face immediately showed a bitter expression.


    While the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was selling well, there was still a stock of ordinary Jade Bud Spirit Wine made two years ago in the shop.


    The spiritual wine isn¡¯t very beneficial to cultivation, and no one usually buys it. If Zhuo Ming really needs to sell all the wine in the Xiao Nanshan Shop¡¯s cellar before he can return, it¡¯s very possible that he might be selling them until the annual Sect competition next year.


    ¡°You can come back anytime you want, you¡¯re a grown man with your own legs, am I going to stop you?¡±


    Only after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words did Zhuo Ming feel reassured, promising that he would fulfill his task.


    Early the next day.


    As Chen Mobai was preparing to eat the simple breakfast prepared by his disciples, another guest arrived.


    ¡°Oh, coming early isn¡¯t as good as coming at the right time, would you like to join us for a meal?¡±


    When Zhuo Ming led Luo Yixuan in, Chen Mobai was eating boiled spirit chicken eggs.


    These eggs are not generally available to the public. Liu Wenbo, who works in the Spirit Beasts Department, managed to get them. They came from a kind of spirit chicken domesticated by cultivators, rated the same grade as the Azure Blood Carp.


    Ever since he improved his spiritual root by eating the Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai had developed a keen interest in tasting the various and bizarre spirit meals and spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm.


    Liu Wenbo knew about this, and whenever he had the chance, he would bring some of the poultry meat bred in the Spirit Beasts Department to let Chen Mobai taste.


    However, so far, they had not yet found a third item that could enhance the spiritual root.


    It can only be said that Liu Yanpei¡¯s luck was against heaven. After eating the fish and bamboo he bred in the Water Mansion, they were found to be beneficial to the spiritual root.


    ¡°I came specifically to thank Uncle Master Chen, this is a little token of appreciation from our clan leader, I hope you will accept it.¡±


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t dare to take Chen Mobai¡¯s politeness literally. She shook her head and untied a golden storage bag from her waist, holding it with both hands and handed it over with her head bowed.


    Zhuo Ming immediately took it and happily placed it on Chen Mobai¡¯s dining table.


    ¡°You this child, I didn¡¯t say I will accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, but since the item was already in front of him, it was only polite to take a look.


    The storage bag had no seal. After Chen Mobai projected his divine sense into it, he saw a dazzling array of items, which turned out to be six hundred Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This should be prepared by you, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question, Luo Yixuan¡¯s body trembled, and then she revealed a bitter smile.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, please forgive me. It will take some time for my clan to mobilize resources. When I heard that you would be leaving Divine Wood City tomorrow, I used the Spirit Stones at hand to prepare a gift.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded after listening, indicating that he understood.


    Such a test is bearable for him.


    For him back in his Qi Cultivation days, six hundred Spirit Stones were a great fortune, but for him now, it was simply dispensable.


    Seeing that he didn¡¯t express acceptance, Luo Yixuan thought that the gift was too light. She bit her lip and took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Ming.


    However, at this time, Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t take it, but rather, he looked at Chen Mobai first.


    ¡°Bring it over.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also a bit curious. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the stuff that Luo Yixuan presented with such gravity must be no ordinary item.


    He opened the jade box to take a look, and it was instantly met with a refreshing and fragrant scent.


    In the box, a small herb with five yellow and white round leaves and an exquisite stamen in the middle made its appearance. It seemed like the herb had been plucked for quite some time, but because it was well preserved, it retained eighty to ninety percent of its medicinal properties.


    ¡°Camelweed!¡±


    Chen Mobai had not learned the herb identification courses in the academy for nothing over the past two years, he immediately recognized the origin of the herb.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, what he said was the term used in Tianhe Realm. In the Immortal Cultivation world, this herb was called the ¡°Ancient Duduo Lotus¡±. It was a rank-3 spirit grass that could be used to concoct Spirit Pills increasing strength and purifying Qi and blood, and was one of the main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill.


    The ¡°Camelweed¡± presented by Luo Yixuan should have medicinal effects for two to three hundred years, and had just entered rank-3.


    Even so, if it were put up for sale, it would be worth at least two to three thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This item is the most precious one in our Luo family¡¯s herbal fields.¡±


    Luo Yixuan gently mentioned the origin of this item.

 Chapter 394 - Chapter 394: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1

    Chapter 394: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1


    ¡°This item is indeed precious, but it should have been given to the sect, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he picked up the third-ranked medicinal herb to verify the knowledge he had learned about medicinal herbs over the past two years.


    ¡°Elder Chen indeed possesses keen eyes. Our Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel Mountain is very suitable for the growth of this herb, so we deliberately allocated a garden to plant it. The family has planted it for over three hundred years, and now it has become a considerable scale. Every ten years we would provide the sect with a Camelweed.¡±


    Luo Yixuan did not hide anything and told the truth upon Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s meant for the sect, isn¡¯t gifting it to me jeopardizing the sect¡¯s crucial task of formulating the Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke again, and Luo Yixuan laughed softly, uttering a thought-provoking statement.


    ¡°In fact, every ten years, a few Camelweeds mature in our family¡¯s medicinal garden. Besides supplying to the sect, we are willing to sell the rest to other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness should they need it.¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, cultivator families are mostly affiliated with major sects, but each has its unique means of support.


    For instance, Liu Wenbo¡¯s family fish farming technique in South Creek, where Chen Mobai originated from, and the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel cultivation.


    No matter which family it is, if they can secure a piece of Spiritual Land for survival, they would typically establish a medicinal garden to cultivate spiritual medicines.


    After all, everyone in the Tianhe Realm knows that the best way to enhance one¡¯s cultivation is by consuming pills.


    Moreover, once a cultivator has reached a high level of achievement, Spirit Stones will no longer attract top-ranked cultivators, and centurial medicinal materials and millennial medicinal herbs would become the main currency for transactions.


    The seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness are supportive of this.


    Everyone knows that if you want to catch a net full of fish and shrimp, you must first feed them well.


    However, the seven major sects understand the principle of sustainable development. As long as the Cultivator families are law-abiding, they would purchase the high-age medicinal materials they cultivated based on the prevailing market values.


    At least a hundred different varieties of primary and auxiliary herbs are needed for the formulation of Rank-3 and higher pills.


    As for herbs, they are very dependent on the quality of the Spirit Soil and climate. Although Giant Tree Ridge boasts thousands of acres of medicinal fields, some herbs simply cannot be cultivated and grown here. The sect has established many secondary manors for cultivation in various parts of the four kingdoms. Due to the lack of manpower, many tasks are delegated to the lower cultivator families, resulting in better outcomes.


    This Luo family¡¯s ¡°Camelweed¡± is one such case.


    Every time the Divine Wood Sect wants to formulate the Foundation Building Pill, they would purchase one Rank-3 Camelweed from Luo¡¯s family.


    ¡°So, this one is supposed to be sold to the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, Luo Yixuan nodded in approval.


    ¡°Last night, my brother reported the current situation within the sect to our family patriarch through the Concentric Talisman. The patriarch will instruct our family to urgently transport one Camelweed to the sect for pill formation. This one is given to Elder Chen as a thank you for your fair words.¡±


    As the Divine Wood Sect was going to process the Foundation Building Pill, even though most of the primary and auxiliary herbs can be picked from Giant Tree Ridge, there are also some that need purchasing from other cultivator families and merchant groups. Therefore, this Camelweed from Luo¡¯s family, being delayed for just two days, was not a big deal.


    Even though Luo Yixuan reassured him, Chen Mobai put the valuable Rank-3 herb back into the jade box and closed the lid after hearing her words.


    ¡°I have accepted the gratitude from Luo¡¯s family. As for this Camelweed, it¡¯s best to leave it for the sect.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he signaled Luo Yixuan to take back the item, the latter, slightly startled, hesitated and dared not to approach.


    ¡°Although it would only cause a two-day delay as you mentioned, matters of the sect definitely take precedence over my personal affairs, so this herb must first be given to the sect.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was somewhat puzzled by his words, but Luo Yixuan understood, her face initially puzzled then enlightened, and finally, wore an enlightened look. She respectfully collected the jade box.


    ¡°I should learn from Elder Chen¡¯s attitude of prioritizing the sect.¡±


    Once Luo Yixuan finished her words, she picked up the box and stood by his side.


    ¡°I have something I want to ask you. If it¡¯s inconvenient for you to answer, you don¡¯t have to.¡±


    Seeing the beautiful girl in palace attire right in front of him, Chen Mobai remembered the matter of the sect competition and asked her. Luo Yixuan nodded, signifying that he could ask whatever he wanted.


    ¡°Why do you hide your cultivation level? Are you afraid of overshadowing your brother?¡±


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic flashed through Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes, but then she gave a bitter laugh and shook her head.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Indeed, I cannot hide my Returning Essence Secret Technique from Foundation Establishment cultivators.¡±


    ¡°No, you¡¯ve practiced it quite well. Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators you¡¯ve encountered, probably only I can see through your disguise.¡±


    Luo Yixuan stood still for a long time. Just when Chen Mobai thought she didn¡¯t want to answer, she sighed and began to speak.


    ¡°In the family, females are always married out. If you perform too brilliantly and your reputation spreads, other cultivator families nearby will send people to marry you, treating you as a breeding tool. Or, you might be favored by a top-ranked cultivator from the upper sect and treated as a medicinal furnace. Although my brother and I share the same father, we have different mothers.¡±


    ¡°My mother was a female cultivator from a small family in the Yun Country. Due to her beautiful looks and decent spiritual root talent, she was taken as the sixth Daoist partner by my father at the age of eighteen for a hundred spirit stones and two rank-1 magic artifacts.¡±

 Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_2

    Chapter 395: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_2


    ¡°My father practices a cultivation technique of Yang-attribute, and he has contributed greatly to the expansion of our family. He has a total of twenty-seven children, however, only five of us have spiritual roots. Among them, my two sisters have already been used as tools for marriage alliances, married off to two other cultivation families.¡±


    ¡°I was supposed to be the third to be married off, but my spiritual root is suitable for cultivating the Art of Eternal Life. On average days, I flatter and mix up with my brother, who happened to be heading for the Divine Wood Sect and was a bit upset about going alone. So, he let me accompany him.¡±


    ¡°I knew this was my only chance to change my destiny, so I tried desperately to cultivate. However, I also knew that if I surpassed my brother, the family would see me as an uncontrollable factor and might even cut off my spirit stone resources. I might end up with the same fate as my mother.¡±


    ¡°So, I carefully controlled my cultivation progress, ensuring I remained a step behind my brother. But I also needed to secure my position as a true disciple in the Sect¡¯s grand competition four years later.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan finished speaking, Zhuo Ming, who was by her side, widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn¡¯t believe that this beautiful young lady from a noble family was carrying such a heavy psychological burden from a young age.


    ¡°It seems that your relationship with your father is mediocre.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was also somewhat surprised by the customs of the cultivation families in the Tianhe Realm. Despite being cultivation practitioners, their thoughts were still so feudal and traditional.


    ¡°If I become a true disciple and acquire the Foundation Building Pill, my father will surely ask me to give it to my brother.¡±


    With an expressionless face, Luo Yixuan coldly uttered a sad sentence.


    ¡°Will you give it to him then?¡±


    ¡°No, this is my only chance to change my destiny. Even if I die, I will take it.¡±


    As she said this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes were resolute. Amid her pair of clear, dark eyes, there was a touch of defiant determination.


    ¡°Well, with such a determined spirit, there¡¯s a 30-40% chance of you building your foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded satisfiedly. He indeed didn¡¯t misjudge these people. Both Yu Lian, and Luo Yixuan were geniuses second only to him.


    On the other hand, Zhuo Ming¡¯s spiritual root was also not bad, but she didn¡¯t have the same ruthless mentality as these two.


    Perhaps because of her impoverished childhood, she didn¡¯t harbor any deep hatred or oppressive fears, allowing her to have a normal childhood.


    ¡°Master Chen, if my family found out about what I said today, my life would be over.¡±


    Suddenly, Luo Yixuan appeared on the verge of tears, with a faint sheen moistening her eyes. She hung her head in a seemingly defeated manner, revealing a sorrowful expression that Chen Mobai could just see.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, I promise I won¡¯t let them know. As for Zhuo Ming, you can also rest assured, she is not a tattler.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately made a promise. However, it was only a verbal promise. He would certainly not let himself and his disciple be sworn to oath over this matter.


    ¡°Master Chen, what do you think of me?¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    But at this time, Luo Yixuan said something ambiguous that caused confusion.


    Zhuo Ming immediately widened her eyes and looked at Luo Yixuan as if she were a vixen, rolling up her sleeves preparing to cast her out.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows.


    He was a man of integrity and could absolutely withstand such questioning. If he wasn¡¯t considering the girl¡¯s face in front of him and pitied her unfortunate childhood, he would probably turn his face immediately.


    ¡°Master Chen, I also possess a True Spirit Root with three attributes. I wonder if this qualifies me to become your disciple?¡±


    Suddenly, Luo Yixuan knelt before Chen Mobai. This action and her words left both master and disciple sighing a breath of relief.


    [So, that¡¯s what she meant.]


    ¡°Master Chen, both my brother and I have been cultivating under our sub-uncle for the past few years, but we have never formally acknowledged him as our master. Right now, our sub-uncle might be involved in a matter about betraying the sect. If I can acknowledge you as my master, our family will surely be ecstatic, and I can free myself ahead of time. Furthermore, if I become your disciple, I will be sincere and absolutely loyal to you. After all, my family has only ever given me negative emotions since I was a child.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan spoke, she started to perform the ritual of three kneels and nine prostrations towards Chen Mobai, who instantly waved his large sleeves, and a gentle, dense surge of Longevity Spiritual Power transformed into an invisible cushion, preventing her from performing the ritual.


    ¡°Master Chen, are you unwilling to accept me?¡±


    Luo Yixuan saw this scene, the teardrops finally fell from the corners of her eyes, traversing along her smooth and fair cheeks and dropping to the ground. The sight of her vulnerability even stirred up some heartache in Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that¡­never mind, please transfer some of your spiritual power to me first.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Throughout his life, he had never seen such posturing, and at first thought to refuse. But soon after, he considered that Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming already did, so accepting another one wouldn¡¯t be such a big deal. Moreover, having a mentor-student relationship would be beneficial in the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future.


    Most importantly, given this disciple¡¯s determination and potential, she could probably enter the top ten of the true transmission disciples. As long as there were no accidents, she had a good chance of reaching Foundation Establishment, which would greatly enhance his reputation.


    Luo Yixuan did not understand why but obediently held the jade box with one hand, and offered her fair, slender right hand, transferring a thread of spiritual power she had cultivated to Chen Mobai.


    [Gold 21, Wood 22, Water 37, Fire 10, Earth 10]


    The spiritual root is indeed good, especially the Water Spirit Root, these numbers could already be considered above average.


    ¡°Well then, you¡¯ll be my registered disciple first.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment. Seeing the dried tear stains on Luo Yixuan¡¯s fair cheeks, he nodded his consent.


    ¡°Disciple pays respects to Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately performed a grand salute. This time, Chen Mobai did not stop her.


    ¡°Hmm, after you go back, tell your clan leader about this matter. You should also stop trying to please your brother, just move into Xiao Nanshan and live with Zhuo Ming.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Two voices answered.


    In Luo Yixuan¡¯s tone was a joy unlike any she had known before, and at that moment, Zhuo Ming finally came to a realization.


    From now on, she was no longer the youngest disciple.


    Unexpectedly, she felt a sense of loss.


    [Everyone says that adults pay the most attention to the youngest child. I wonder if Master will stop paying as much attention to my cultivation progress.]


    Zhuo Ming thought so, but as the respect for a teacher is paramount in the Tianhe Realm, and with her gentle personality, she could only smile and welcome Luo Yixuan, her new junior sister, to the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    ¡°These spirit stones were your personal property; take them with you. Your Master doesn¡¯t lack them.¡±


    Chen Mobai motioned towards the storage bag full of six hundred spirit stones that Luo Yixuan had earlier offered. She hesitated at first, but noticing the serious look in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, she took them back. However, she returned the jade box she had been holding onto her chest.


    ¡°Master, now that I¡¯m your disciple, you should take this medicinal herb. In two days, I will deliver the herb that the clan elder sent to the sect. Nobody will know.¡±


    Luo Yixuan had good intentions, but Chen Mobai still shook his head and pushed back the jade box.


    ¡°You don¡¯t tell, I don¡¯t tell, and Zhuo Ming won¡¯t tell either. But the people in your clan know about this as well. As long as I¡¯m in the Sect, the Luo Family won¡¯t dare to publicize this matter. Nonetheless, it remains a potential problem. If someone with ill intentions learns about this, they might report it to the Sect Leader.¡±


    ¡°If this matter is brought up in the future when I am competing for key positions in the twelve divisions of the three halls of the sect, it could cause a great deal of trouble, accusing me of disregarding the sect¡¯s well-being and prioritizing my own interests.¡±


    ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t really care about what your Luo family has sent, you came today, and you brought offerings, they¡¯re valuable enough, so that will do.¡±

    This principle was something Chen Mobai learned from his grandfather when he was a child. Every New Year, his grandpa, the village chief, would bring special fruits, vegetables, Spirit Rice, and Spiritual Wine from Green Mountain Village to the town leaders. Even if they didn¡¯t accept the modest gifts, he would still offer them every year.


    One of his phrases left a deep impression on Chen Mobai.


    Even if the leaders don¡¯t accept, you still have to offer.


    After sending Luo Yixuan, who was listening attentively, out of the front door, Zhuo Ming smacked herself in the forehead.


    If she had known a younger sister would come along today, she wouldn¡¯t have opened the door!

 Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Chapter 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1

    Chapter 396: Chapter 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1


    Chen Mobai, who originally should have returned to South Mountain, stayed in Divine Wood City for two more days because he accepted Luo Yixuan as his disciple.


    One day, an elderly figure from the Luo family, who was at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, came to visit with the Luo siblings.


    This elder was named Luo Yuanxian. He was a figure second only to the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Luo family. He presented a Rank-3 Camelweed and two thousand Spirit Stones as Luo Yixuan¡¯s gifts to her teacher. Chen Mobai did not decline and accepted it without a second thought.


    However, Luo Yuanxian, having lived for a long time with thick skin, proposed after Chen Mobai accepted the gifts that Luo Yixiu also be accepted under South Mountain.


    The reason Luo Yuanxian mentioned made Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He said that the two siblings had been very close since they were young. At first, it was Luo Yixiu who didn¡¯t want to separate from his sister, so the family arranged for both of them to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    Now that Luo Yixuan had the chance to be taken under the wing by Chen Mobai, why not fulfill the siblings¡¯ affection and let them not part ways on the path of future cultivation.


    Zhuo Ming who knew about the situation, barely maintained his composure.


    ¡°I myself am usually busy with my own cultivation, I¡¯m struggling to teach three disciples already, I wouldn¡¯t want to impede nephew Luo¡¯s future.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai did not directly reject the suggestion, Luo Yuanxian, an old and cunning man, immediately caught the refusal. All he could do was sigh and didn¡¯t dare to bring it up again.


    At this point, Luo Yixiu¡¯s handsome face turned red. After being repeatedly insulted, he didn¡¯t dare to argue back. He could only lower his head and keep his humiliation to himself.


    Fortunately, Liu Wenbo had been healing his injuries in seclusion since the sect competition, not present today, otherwise Luo Yixiu might have felt even more awkward.


    ¡°What does the sect think of my second uncle?¡±


    At last, Luo Yuanxian asked the matter he was most concerned about. Luo Shupin was his second uncle.


    The reason for the current status of the Luo family, apart from the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the family, was Luo Shupin, the foundation establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect. The latter was more important.


    Without the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s support, their Luo family would just be a regular Foundation Establishment family.


    ¡°The sect doesn¡¯t have an official stance on this matter yet, and I shouldn¡¯t comment too much. However, the Sect Leader and the two Hall Masters are all fair and just. As long as elder Luo has not betrayed the sect, they will certainly clear his name.¡±


    A shortfall of eight thousand Spirit Stones is not a major issue. The Luo family could bear the loss with some gritted teeth.


    The key problem was that when the sect found out about this matter and sent a letter to Luo Shupin for explanation, the latter sent back an ambiguous and confusing report. When the Sect Leader asked him to return for questioning, he agreed in writing, but he stayed put in the Lei Nation.


    Therefore, he showed a lack of respect for the sect authority, ignoring the rules.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Divine Wood Sect lost contact with Luo Shupin later, fearing that something strange was going on, the inspectors of the Penalty Evil Hall would have gone to the Luo family long ago.


    Luo Yuanxian felt quite satisfied to get this response from Chen Mobai.


    Before his visit, the clan head had already made up his mind. If Luo Shupin really had issues, then the Luo family would have to find ways to distance themselves from him.


    In the end, Luo Yuanxian left with Luo Yixiu.


    Of course, Luo Yixuan stayed behind.


    After becoming a disciple, she was like a married daughter.


    Although the Luo family was a little reluctant to let go of a relative with good looks and exceptional Spiritual Root Talent, linking up with the talented Foundation Establishment genius like Chen Mobai was ten times more beneficial to the family than marrying her off for an alliance.


    This was precisely why the Luo family would give two thousand Spirit Stones as a gift to Chen Mobai, after the Rank-3 medicinal herb.


    ¡°Xuan, you can take these Spirit Stones.¡±


    After Chen Mobai stowed the Camelweed inside his sleeve, he pointed to another storage bag. Naturally, Luo Yixuan declined, saying that this was the family¡¯s gift to the teacher, how could she take it.


    ¡°Take it. Your master is content with the herb. Consider this set of talismans a welcome gift from me.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai waved his hand at the table, and three Crimson Flame Sword Talismans landed neatly in Luo Yixuan¡¯s sight. She initially thought they were all the same type of talisman, but upon receiving them she discovered the difference.


    They were in fact a set of first, second, and third order talismans.


    This set of talismans totalled over a hundred Spirit Stones. Luo Yixuan¡¯s most prized possessions were only two Rank-2 talismans equivalent to the third order talismans.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    ¡°Now that your affairs are sorted out, if you don¡¯t want any connections with the Luo family in the future, just follow me back to South Mountain and focus on your cultivation. As long as your master is around, they dare not mess around.¡±

    Once Chen Mobai had said this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes turned slightly red and she sobbed quietly. However, she quickly bowed and spoke in a previously unheard crisp voice.


    ¡°I will follow Master¡¯s arrangement.¡±


    Before leaving Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai first went to report to Chu Zuoshu, his direct superior, and got permission. Then he took Luo Yixuan to see familiar faces Yue Zutao, Yan Jinye and even Zeng Woyou. They generously gave talismans or elixirs as gifts.


    ¡°Xuan, your master believes that you are more competent than your senior sister in social interactions. In the future, you may need to socialize more with these few friends of your master.¡±


    The disciple and master were standing on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, flying to South Mountain, and Chen Mobai¡¯s words surprised Luo Yixuan a little.

 Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Chapter 298 Incandescence Transforms into Spirit_2

    Chapter 397: Chapter 298 Incandescence Transforms into Spirit_2


    ¡°Senior Sister Zhuo has managed the South Mountain Shop with utmost meticulousness. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do as well as her. Besides, isn¡¯t there still Senior Brother?¡±


    ¡°In front of me, there is no need for such caution.¡±


    Chen Mobai glared at her. Luo Yixuan lowered her head a little guiltily, squeezing the hem of her skirt pitifully.


    ¡°If Wen Bo advances in his cultivation level, I plan to let him venture outside our sect more often.¡±


    ¡°Zhuo Ming has become increasingly simple-minded over the years in the sect, and managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field along with the South Mountain Shop has been arduous for her. Let¡¯s not add more tasks to her load.¡±


    ¡°Mainly because all of these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the sect are not simple. With your astuteness, you can understand the true meaning behind their words; this puts Master¡¯s mind at ease.¡±


    Upon hearing those words, Luo Yixuan could only nod in agreement. Still, she hesitantly said,


    ¡°Master, actually, I can be simple-minded, too.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai just shook his head.


    What he was impressed with was Luo Yixuan not being naive, but astute. If this newly accepted disciple were simple-minded, she would not have made it through the gates of his South Mountain.


    ¡°Here we are. The wooden house at the foot of the mountain belongs to Zhuo Ming. You can live there, or you can build your own. I will be at the mountaintop during my meditations, and a Cloud Mist Array will usually seal the mountaintop. If you need me for anything, you can use the Message Talisman.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai, bringing Luo Yixuan along, landed on the peak of South Mountain. He then took out a packet of Message Talismans that he had made himself from his storage bag and gave them to her.


    The sect sells these for one Spirit Stone each. However, since he is a Talisman Maker, naturally, he would not allow the sect to profit off him and his disciples.


    ¡°Tell me when you run out. By the way, what cultivation technique are you practicing?¡±


    After briefly introducing the situation around South Mountain, Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan about her cultivation practice.


    After all, as her master now, he needed to be concerned about these matters.


    ¡°I¡¯m practicing the Longevity Scripture and the Black Water Technique. Thanks to the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Stones and resources, I have already reached the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    Luo Yixuan was around his age, but her cultivation level was even more robust than Liu Wenbo¡¯s. She was probably not worse off than the top direct disciples. If she didn¡¯t hide her brilliance, she¡¯d likely have become a direct disciple two years ago.


    ¡°Water-Wood Techniques¡­dual-phase techniques, huh¡­¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai became contemplative. It was similar to Liu Wenbo¡¯s situation, albeit different. If Luo Yixuan continued to cultivate like this based on her Spiritual Root, she might have strayed onto the wrong path.


    ¡°Does Master feel something is inappropriate? Do I need to change Cultivation Techniques? I will fully comply with Master¡¯s advice.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai like this, Luo Yixuan was quick to guess, and spoke out even before Chen Mobai could open his mouth.


    ¡°You girl, you¡¯re too shrewd.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and gave a wry smile. Advising someone to discard a technique that had been diligently cultivated to the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation was hard to bring up, even for a master. But Luo Yixuan understood on her own and saved him from the trouble.


    ¡°You¡¯re a True Spirit Root of the Gold, Wood, and Water attributes. The Gold and Wood attributes are just about passable, but your Water Spirit Root is excellent. If you focus on cultivating the Black Water Technique, not only will you achieve more with less effort, but your chances of reaching Foundation Establishment will also be higher.¡±


    ¡°I understand. I will abandon the Longevity Scripture.¡±


    Having heard this, Luo Yixuan nodded, looking obedient.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to think it over? After all, training the Longevity Scripture to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation must have cost you a lot of time and resources. Besides, dual-phase techniques are significantly beneficial for Core Formation. If you focus solely on the Black Water Technique, you will face Core Formation on your own.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somehow surprised, advising his new disciple to reconsider her choice.


    ¡°Master, I sensed this quite some time back. When I practiced the Black Water Technique, I felt rejuvenated, and the breakthroughs were smooth and straightforward.¡±


    ¡°When cultivating the Longevity Technique, although I can feel myself improving every moment, there¡¯s a certain satisfaction that does not quite match the comfort felt with the Dark Water spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°And the Core Formation stage you mentioned, I¡¯ve never considered it. For me, the greatest hope in this lifetime is merely the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed after hearing these words from Luo Yixuan, who spoke with such seriousness. At a time when the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm could only dream about such things, his respect for his disciple increased even more.


    Despite her obedient nature, she had her own opinions.


    Her future was promising!


    ¡°If you choose to rotate between wood and water, the Longevity Spiritual Power will devour the Dark Water spiritual power. However, your Spiritual Root is compatible with Dark Water so I advise focusing on the Dark Water Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Alternatively, you can abandon the Longevity Power and practice a gold attribute cultivation technique, rotating between gold and water.¡±


    ¡°But without the longevity added by the Longevity Technique, Core Formation with the two-phase technique is just a wishful thinking. So, I suggest that you focus on the Dark Water Cultivation which might lead to higher achievements.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts clearly. Listening to his perspective, Luo Yixuan was deeply moved.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the master-disciple inheritance has always been dictated by the master, with no explanations required.


    The premise here is that the masters¡¯ directives are absolute. The disciples merely have to follow them.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gentle and sincere guidance was a new experience for Luo Yixuan, something she had never encountered growing up.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, master, I will remove my Longevity Spiritual Power.¡±


    If her previous agreement was merely to please Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan¡¯s current commitment was sincere.


    ¡°Mm, having such a well-behaved disciple makes a teacher¡¯s job easier. By the way, with your current cultivation level, you must have consumed quite a lot of concoctions, right?¡±


    Compared to the students in the cultivation schools, Tianhe Realm cultivators are incredibly obedient which made Chen Mobai¡¯s job easier, but also led him to ask the question he was most worried about.


    Tianhe Realm cultivators have a tung tunnel vision towards the pursuit of power, often neglecting the importance of overdosing on concoctions. They believe that as their cultivation level increases, the body will naturally metabolize these overdoses.


    ¡°Master, I honestly relied heavily on concoctions to achieve my current cultivation level.¡±


    Luo Yixuan honestly admitted. Besides her own talent, her current cultivation level of nine layers also relied heavily on the Spirit Stones and concoctions provided by the Luo family.


    ¡°In the future, it would be better if you refrain from consuming concoctions whenever possible. Give me your hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a reminder, but he also knew that consumption of concoctions was inevitable in the Tianhe Realm, thus he did not mandate it.


    However, since Luo Yixuan was now his disciple, he planned to give her a small assistance.


    Without any hesitation, she extended her right hand immediately, thoughtfully rolling up her thin, palace-style sleeves to expose her arm, fair and gracefully rounded like lotus roots.


    Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to activate the Longevity Technique, and then he used two of his fingers to check her pulse. He placed his fingers accurately on the key points of the Longevity Technique¡¯s circulation.


    Luo Yixuan felt a warm energy flowing from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips into her Longevity Spiritual Power. The energy began to spread, gently dissolving and transforming her Spiritual Power, just like a slowly burning source of heat.

    After a full cycle of the Longevity Technique, she felt an unprecedented pure spiritual force integrating into her Dantian and Qi Sea, and gradually merging with her Dark Water spiritual power. The feeling was one of thorough invigoration as if a great load had been lifted off her.


    Back then, when Chen Mobai was converting his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll, his mentor gave him the Flame Lighting Technique, which became the initiating spark inside his body.


    Not only did this aid Chen Mobai¡¯s technique transformation, but it also helped him refine his spiritual power previously buoyed by conjurations. Although it caused his spiritual capacity to shrink slightly, the resulting Pure Yang spiritual power was extremely pure and solid at its core.


    In the end, he even used this technique to achieve Foundation Establishment, receiving the Fire Spirit Body.


    Since Luo Yixuan had quite a bit of toxicity from the concoctions in her spiritual power, and also needed to remove her Longevity spiritual power, Chen Mobai decided to try his Flame Lighting Technique. As expected, it worked wonders.

 Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_1

    Chapter 398: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_1


    With the help of Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique, Luo Yixuan sat with her eyes closed on the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    She cultivated the Water Wood Technique, connecting the two elements in her dantian¡¯s Qi Sea. The Black Water Spiritual Power transformed into a ripple-like pool, and the Longevity Spiritual Power turned into a piece of green wood rooted on the edge of the ripple.


    The green wood absorbed water, but at this moment, a point of light resembling a miniature sun landed within the wood.


    This was the manifestation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique, and it would serve as the fire seed.


    While it slowly consumed the Longevity Spiritual Power, it also refined out the deeply ingrained toxicity from the Dan, leaving only the purest Wood Attribute Spiritual Power to be absorbed by the Black Water Spiritual Power. This process furthered enhanced Luo Yixuan¡¯s foundation.


    Chen Mobai sat on a wooden chair at the top of the mountain and took out a teapot. By using water condensation and ignition techniques, a pot of boiling water was quickly prepared.


    Watching Luo Yixuan sitting on the grass, her creamy skin glowing in aqua and crimson hues, he nodded with satisfaction.


    This signified the successful implantation of his Flame Lighting Technique into his disciple¡¯s dantian.


    However, his cultivation level was not as advanced as the man in the red robe, so this technique could only last for about seven days. After seven days, the fire seed of the Flame Lighting Technique in Luo Yixuan¡¯s dantian would be exhausted.


    By then, he would have to replant it, which could prove troublesome for him.


    He couldn¡¯t help but admire the man in the red robe who had simply planted a flame that lasted in his dantian for six months when he initially cultivated the Five Elements Technique.


    The gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation was indeed vast.


    Just as he was about to finish his pot of tea, Luo Yixuan finished circulating her energy and opened her eyes, shining brightly.


    ¡°Thank you, Master, for bestowing me this technique.¡±


    Rising, she felt as invigorated as if she¡¯d enjoyed a refreshing bath. She was about to bow deeply to Chen Mobai in gratitude, but he stopped her.


    ¡°Stand up. I¡¯m quite casual. No need for such formalities.¡±


    After lifting Luo Yixuan up out of thin air, Chen Mobai motioned for her to extend her hand over for a pulse check, intending to see if he could stack the Flame Lighting Technique to avoid administering it every seven days.


    However, halfway through the test, Luo Yixuan¡¯s normally translucent and smooth complexion suddenly turned very red. She started to break out in sweat. Large beads of perspiration seeped from her pure white skin, soaking her white palace dress. The damp clothing clung to her body, revealing her delicate and charming curves.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were feeling unwell?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai withdrew the spiritual power of the Flame Lighting Technique that had just entered Luo Yixuan¡¯s body, then immediately took his fingers off her wrist.


    ¡°Receiving the grace of my master, how could I refuse due to some minor discomfort?¡±


    Luo Yixuan breathed lightly, her sweaty face glowing with jade-like radiance. As she spoke, she couldn¡¯t help using her long sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead and cheeks.


    ¡°Alright, as your master, I will take you down the mountain. Rest well. Once the effect of the Flame Lighting Technique dissipates, come up the mountain again.¡±


    Observing alert by Luo Yixuan sweating profusely, Chen Mobai unfurled a ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± from his wrist. It spread into mist, obscuring her sweat-drenched body from sight except for her head.


    The mist then lifted them both, transforming into a cloud and flying down from Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You stay with Zhuo Ming for now.¡±


    After Chen Mobai delivered Luo Yixuan to a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, he pointed to the house of his second disciple. Once Luo Yixuan jumped off the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, she instinctively began to show deep respect again.


    ¡°Your esteemed presence, Master, fills this disciple with trepidation.¡±


    However, remembering Chen Mobai¡¯s words, she switched her deep bow to a slight curtsy. Still, her words were as respectful as ever.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cultivate these few days, take care of your health first. After the effect of the Flame Lighting Technique has worn off, resume cultivating. If anything happens, use the Message Talisman to tell me, and don¡¯t hesitate.¡±


    After leaving these words, Chen Mobai turned and flew up Xiao Nanshan on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±.


    Luo Yixuan watched his retreating figure. The obedient expression on her face dissipated, replaced with a slightly bewildered look.


    This teacher was unlike any other she had ever encountered.


    He seemed different from the Immortal Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. He didn¡¯t have the imposing aura of oppression that normally accompanied a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Despite being the most outstanding genius in the Divine Wood Sect for the past hundred years, he did not exhibit the overbearing pride of Mu Yuan and his brother. He was as warm-hearted and tranquil as jade, nothing seeming to disturb his tranquillity.


    Perhaps, this was the mark of a true Immortal.


    Compared to her master, the other True Disciples in the Sect were like stones compared to fine jade.


    Luo Yixuan watched Chen Mobai, who was now just a tiny spot in the sky. Silently, she clenched her fist, thinking that she had indeed chosen the right person to rely on this time.


    Ever since Luo Shupin¡¯s mishap, the Luo family had been beset with difficulties. Whether the family would survive depended on the ruling of the higher-ups in the Divine Wood Sect. Luo Yixuan¡¯s initial reaction had been to abandon ship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, she had been part of the Luo family since birth, and that label was as much a part of her as her surname.


    As long as the deficit in the Spirit Stone Mine in the Lei Nation was not resolved, no one in the Divine Wood Sect would risk linking themselves to her or her brother.


    In this crucial moment, Chen Mobai appeared.


    She cleverly seized this lone opportunity and successfully aroused his sympathetic heart with her tale of woe.


    Interestingly, Luo Yixuan had initially been planning on revealing her true cultivation level to Chen Mobai, but it turned out he had already seen through her from the beginning.

 Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_2

    Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_2


    That would be better; after all, deliberate actions often leave traces and might end up revealing her intentions, resulting in repulsion.


    Initially Luo Yixuan only wanted to find a backer to avoid being affected should the Luo family collapse.


    But after honestly becoming a disciple and interacting, she wondered if her unhappy childhood was actually destined for this turning point.


    She could hardly believe that such a talented and responsible mentor exists in this world.


    If she had known earlier, she would have implored him back at Bud Hall, no, at Southstream Market. That way, she would have been the eldest disciple now.


    [Eh, wait a minute, mom once told me that men prefer younger ones, being the youngest disciple might be even better.]


    Luo Yixuan thought to herself, determinately resolving not to be expelled from Xiao Nanshan. She would demonstrate her worth!


    The behaviour of concealing her abilities for half of her life should change now. She will aim to attain a true disciple position in the sect¡¯s annual competition next year to honour her master.


    However, Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to his youngest disciple¡¯s inner turmoil.


    After climbing the mountain, he activated the Cloud Mist Array to seal the peak and then returned to the Immortal Gate through the Turtle Treasure.


    He traded this year¡¯s study points for a Vermillion Fruit which he gave to Wang Xingyu, along with three Bamboo Fruits and Spiritual Extracts he acquired from Zeng Woyou. However, he still needed two more Vermillion Fruits and ran out of study points.


    But Chen Mobai had a plan. He couldn¡¯t let his power as the Student Council president go to waste.


    Treasure Trove, Student Council¡¯s central square.


    Nearly half of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy had gathered.


    As it was the end of the year, they could exchange study points for Device Pieces to unlock the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    However, this year many students looking to unlock spheres went stirring relationships trying to get Chen Mobai¡¯s help.


    At the end of last year, he helped Ming Yuhua unveil a Mysterious Yang Cauldron which made him famous. After all, Chen Mobai outshone Ming Yu, the vice-president of the Student Council who was rumored to be the top Spirit Eye in the Daoist Academy.


    Because of this incident, the Student Council¡¯s reputation plummeted.


    If it were not for the previous president, Zuo Qiushi, who selflessly convinced Chen Mobai to take his position and become the Student Council president, there would hardly be any Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy taking the Student Council seriously now.


    And this year, the opening of Little Red Sky, with Chen Mobai, the undefeated chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, known as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, made his reputation soar.


    It¡¯s for this reason that the True Cultivators seeking favors from Chen Mobai offered quite decent gifts.


    ¡°This Short Teleportation Talisman is from Senior Jing Zuyin. He was also in the Student Council, but he graduated several years ago and wants you to help with a few Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    In the president¡¯s office on the third floor, Chen Mobai patted the little white cat in his arms, his desk full of gift boxes. Hua Zijing, seated opposite, unwrapped one of them and took out a silver, shining talisman, introducing with a look of envy.


    ¡°You¡¯re still lacking professional experience. If we really need to help senior Jing Zuyin, you should have started by showing me a few very ordinary things that I wouldn¡¯t be interested in. When I became disappointed, reveal this Short Teleportation Talisman. This way, the mission would have been practically accomplished.¡±


    Seeing Hua Zijing¡¯s full-of-traces speech, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but think of his own little disciple. The comparison just showed how enormous the gap was.


    But he can¡¯t blame Hua Zijing, after all, she has only gained experience in the small group of the Student Council for five to six years only. On the other hand, Luo Yixuan had spent more than twenty years in the cruel Immortal Cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm in fear.


    The knack she cultivated in that environment certainly outmatched Hua Zijing¡¯s.


    ¡°Just tell me if you can help.¡±


    Being looked down upon by Chen Mobai, Hua Zijing was frustrated and slapped the Short Teleportation Talisman on the table, grumbling.


    Seeking help from others is indeed not her forte. If it wasn¡¯t for Jing Zuyin treating her well when she just joined the Student Council, she wouldn¡¯t have done this.


    ¡°Of course I will help. This Small Teleportation Talisman is the most popular talisman in the Rank-2 class. It deals with the Space Path. Since senior Jing gave out this, it¡¯s not just a few Device Nurturing Spheres. Even if it were ten of those spheres, I¡¯ll help him appraise them.¡±


    The Small Teleportation Talisman is the best-selling Rank-2 talisman at the Immortal Gate. When used, it would teleport the user to a previously set location.


    Moreover, it¡¯s not a one-time thing¡ªit can be used repeatedly.


    This is akin to a simplified version of the Turtle Treasure; first, mark a place, then use the Short Teleportation Talisman, and you can teleport there anytime, anywhere.


    However, the distance is limited, generally only within a hundred kilometers.


    Even so, it¡¯s the favorite of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Because there are always occasions when urgency is met, using the Short Teleportation Talisman at these times can allow them to quickly return home, to work, or to school.


    After all, a hundred kilometers is already enough to encompass half of the Crimson City cave sky.


    After receiving it, Chen Mobai set it up on the spot in this office. He planned to go back to his wooden house tonight and try this Short Teleportation Talisman and Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation difference tomorrow morning.


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing immediately said that Jing Zuyin was already waiting in the meeting room on the second floor, and the Student Union officials like Ming Yu were also there. They said they wanted to observe the president¡¯s great skills and learn a lot.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t afraid of them stealing his techniques, after all, this Void Spirit Eye was purely cultivated by resources with no tricks.


    Jing Zuyin has a scraggly beard. It seemed he had been secluded in the Treasure Trove for a bit too long, as two holes were worn in his clothes. But his personality was similar to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s, being direct and straightforward. Upon seeing Chen Mobai enter the room, he immediately placed the six Device Nurturing Spheres he brought onto the table.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any time. After checking all of them for him, he compared them with the image data in the Map of Treasures and confirmed four of them.


    The other two were not in the Map of Treasures, but based on the shape of the magic artifact seen by the Void Spirit Eye, the Student Union compared it with the records of the graduating classes and still came up with results, effectively supplementing the Map of Treasures with information on two artifacts.


    Jing Zuyin was also astounded by this, acknowledging that hearing about something is not as good as seeing it. Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes could even rank among the top level of Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Immortal Gate.


    Eventually, Jing Zuyin chose a Rank-2 top-grade Pine Stone Inkstone Stage. He came to the balcony of the Student Union¡¯s Western-style building with the Device Nurturing Sphere. According to the annual tradition, he inserted the Device Piece in front of everyone in the square.


    The result was naturally identical to what Chen Mobai saw with his Void Spirit Eye.


    After the Fire Godlight disappeared, a green inkstone stage with exquisite stone quality, silky texture, and refined ink color landed in Jing Zuyin¡¯s hands.


    He is a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. This inkstone stage complements his abilities perfectly.


    After this great start, Chen Mobai was ready to reap the benefits.


    The True Cultivators of the Daoist Academy who had exchanged for the Device Pieces this year had all spent a hundred study points and naturally wanted to make the best use of them, not wanting to waste the large investment that had taken so hard to accumulate over the years.


    This was a sunk cost.


    Chen Mobai instructed Hua Zijing to return all the gifts except for the Short Teleportation Talisman to the givers. It¡¯s not because he is upright and doesn¡¯t want to accept gifts, but because he believes it should be a long-term transaction, allowing it to flow continuously at a slow pace.


    ¡°Would they agree to this?¡±


    Hua Zijing looked sceptical after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°You can convey my intentions. Those who agree will naturally be willing to come to us.¡±


    The condition for Chen Mobai to help people see Device Nurturing Spheres with his Void Spirit Eye was simple, just like the Map of Treasures. As one of the symbols of the Student Union, each use costs one study point.


    It was fortunate that he was now the president of the Student Union and controlled the Map of Treasures, and held the authority to trade study points. Otherwise, even if the Void Spirit Eye technique was cultivated to the top level, he would not be able to trade for study points from other True Cultivators.

    As expected, after the news that Chen Mobai would examine one Device Nurturing Sphere for one study point was released, the doors of the Student Union were soon trampled flat.


    At the entrance to Chen Mobai¡¯s office, the True Cultivators who had exchanged Device Pieces this year lined up in an orderly fashion despite Hua Zijing¡¯s disbelief. Some held two or three Device Nurturing Spheres, while others carried a whole sackful, probably around a dozen or more.


    Hua Zijing counted; there were sixteen people, equivalent to the number of Device Pieces exchanged by the academy this year.


    That is to say, apart from a few people who just established their foundation this year, the rest were all here.


    The President is going to make a fortune!

 Chapter 400 - Chapter 400: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_1

    Chapter 400: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_1


    After exhausting an entire day, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes had turned red from inspecting every single one of the 16 Device Nurturing Spheres.


    However, his effort was rewarded.


    Seeing the additional 86 credits deposited into his students¡¯ account, Chen Mobai rubbed his sore, tearful eyes and dropped a couple drops of freshly made Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew into them.


    After producing a considerable amount of this spiritual water, along with the effects of the Spiritual Extract, Wang Xingyu had already mastered the art of concocting it.


    Just as Chen Mobai was closing his eyes to rest, a brilliant, flaming red light shone from outside the window, reminiscent of the brilliant fireworks on New Year¡¯s Eve.


    This was the scene of one of the true cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level, after identifying the Magic Artifact within the Device Nurturing Sphere, couldn¡¯t wait to activate it.


    Chen Mobai turned his chair in the direction of the window, enjoying the annual spectacle within the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°The Divine Wind Sword! It really is the Divine Wind Sword, hahaha¡­¡±


    A chilling sword Qi roared into the sky and along with the green light that coiled like a dragon, transformed into a clear, water-like flying sword, held in the palm of a puny-looking youth.


    He was a tenth grader from the Sword Control Department, known as Zou Siliang. Since his admission, he had diligently practiced swordsmanship, saving up credits for ten long years, all for the purpose of acquiring a decent sword.


    The Device Piece given to him by the academy upon reaching the Foundation Establishment level turned into an Iron Wing Staff due to his lack of experience at the time.


    Later, he saved up a hundred credits to exchange for another Device Piece. He sought advice from Mingyu Palm Eye. Unfortunately, at that time, the latter had just started studying the Art of Spiritual Eyes. Although he saw it was long in shape, he still accidentally activated a Suppression Ruler.


    This year, Zou Siliang had once again accumulated enough credits. After exchanging for another Device Piece and still having some leftover, he directly brought five Device Nurturing Spheres to ask Chen Mobai for help in inspecting them.


    What¡¯s more, after two previous disappointments, the Device Nurturing Spheres he collected this time surprisingly contained three flying swords, a stick, and a hook-shaped magic artifact.


    After Chen Mobai finished inspecting them, Zou Siliang spent another 2 credits to consult the Map of Treasures, indirectly also generating revenue for the student council.


    All three flying swords were listed on the Map of Treasures. Among them, this Divine Wind Sword was ranked the highest, being the life-bound flying sword of a genius swordsman from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who had the wind Spiritual Root.


    This genius swordsman had attempted Core Formation twice, and although he failed both attempts, his Divine Wind Sword was still considered top-notch among Rank-2 artifacts.


    Zou Siliang¡¯s validation of Chen Mobai¡¯s keen eyes instantly convinced the remaining hesitant cultivators to make their decision.


    One after another, the Fire Godlight lit up, revealing magic artifacts exuding radiant spiritual light and interwoven with spiritual patterns.


    The Red Phoenix Shield¡­


    The Purple Mu Robe¡­


    The Tornado Spear¡­


    The Qing Ruyi¡­


    The Wind Breaking Ring¡­


    The No Light Cover¡­


    The Thousand Sounds Fan¡­


    The cultivators on the square who recognized the origins of the Magic Artifacts each called out the names of the Magic Artifacts that emerged from the Device Nurturing Spheres, their voices full of envy.


    These were mostly upper-tier Rank-2 artifacts, and one of them was, like the Divine Wind Sword, a top-tier Rank-2 artifact.


    Only that Qing Ruyi was of intermediate quality within Rank-2, but it was also due to the choice of the Device Piece¡¯s owner. This senior, named Ren Yuanjun, needed an artifact to nourish his Purple Palace because he encountered problems with his Divine Consciousness while practicing a certain Art of Divine Consciousness.


    However, his Device Nurturing Sphere did not contain such an artifact. Fortunately, the Qing Ruyi was present in a Device Nurturing Sphere that Chen Mobai had identified earlier.


    In line with the principle of providing full service, Chen Mobai called back the female student who owned the Qing Ruyi, explained the situation, and the latter very understandingly gave her Device Nurturing Sphere, which sealed the Qing Ruyi, to Ren Yuanjun for a nominal exchange of ten thousand Good Deed Points.


    Because this student was certain that she would activate a Rank-2 upper-grade Purple Mu Robe, she would never activate the Qing Ruyi in her lifetime.


    However, the reality was that Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation was vast indeed. Otherwise, anyone else desperately in need of the Qing Ruyi would probably have to pay a hefty transfer fee.


    This matter, following the activation of the Qing Ruyi, was soon spread by Ren Yuanjun. In no time, that female student earned a reputation for generosity and goodwill.


    Moreover, besides the label of being invincible in magic duels, Chen Mobai also added the new image of being enthusiastic, kind-hearted, and helpful.


    A myriad of magical artifacts bathed in radiant light rose into the sky once the red divine light faded, held in the hands of the overjoyed Foundation Establishment cultivators, weaving a stunning spectacle of spiritual light fireworks¡ªutterly brilliant and beautiful.


    Meanwhile, the seven cultivators who hadn¡¯t activated their Device Nurturing Spheres even after identification all looked at them with longing eyes.


    After Chen Mobai had examined the Device Nurturing Spheres they brought with his Void Spirit Eye, he realized that the artifacts sealed within were not what they wanted nor suited them. Therefore, they still held on to their Device Pieces, waiting until they found suitable Device Nurturing Spheres before coming back for identification.


    However, regardless of whether or not they activated the spheres, Chen Mobai had already earned his credits.

    When the riotous celebration in the square finally subsided, Chen Mobai greeted Hua Zijing before leaving the Treasure Trove, finding Luo Hezheng to exchange for two Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    ¡°Don¡¯t advance your cultivation too quickly. With your talent, you¡¯re practically guaranteed to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. A steady foundation will increase your chances of successful Core Formation.¡± warned Luo Hezheng seriously, as he exchanged a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, thank you for the reminder, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Even though he said that, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    Within the immortal path, both the Steady Foundation Faction, and the Realm Supremacy Faction have stoked numerous debates throughout cultivation¡¯s long history.

 Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment 2nd Level_2

    Chapter 401: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment 2nd Level_2


    The Foundation Faction believes in taking steady steps to reach the peak.


    However, the Realm Faction believes in limited lifespan, and expects to elevate their realm within the shortest possible time. After all, the higher the realm, the longer the lifespan. And when the realm can¡¯t be further elevated, they slowly make up the foundation and cultivate other skills later, creating breakthroughs.


    Without a doubt, Chen Mobai is a supporter of the Realm Faction.


    After all, he has ample resources to build up his realm first. And when he just about hits the bottleneck of advancing into the major realm, he would cross the widespread obstacles of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and other stages considered mountainous to cultivators.


    Anyway, this is how Chen Mobai successfully crossed the Foundation Establishment stage. So he plans to elevate himself to the Perfection of foundation first, then find ways to collect Golden Elixir spiritual medicines and use them in combination with the Dual-Phase technique.


    Even if his own foundation is somewhat weak by then, the five-percent probability to complete the Core Formation through the combined use of liquid gold jade rebirth pill and Dual-Phase technique should be good enough, especially if the first attempt fails, he should succeed on the second try according to probability theory.


    After leaving Luo Hezheng¡¯s office, Chen Mobai went upstairs to meet his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    The meetings between this mentor and his disciple decreased over the year.


    Mainly because Chen Mobai spent most of the past year cultivating in seclusion, with the stable expansion of his Little Red Sky, his Yuan Yang sword has also been requisitioned by Gongye Zhixu according to Che Yucheng¡¯s plan.


    As the Dance Tool Daoist Academy had no problems, Che Yucheng didn¡¯t have to guide Chen Mobai, leaving him to comfortably cultivate with the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°Given your annual improvements, you actually look like a top student now,¡± Che Yucheng said with restrained satisfaction after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation progress. Chen Mobai laughed awkwardly, he had initially thought his pace of cultivation was quite fast.


    However, among the four major Dao academies, most of those from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy are from the Realm Faction, notoriously known for quickly elevating their realms.


    The main reasons for this are ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method that sprang from this divine metaphysical method. And the multitude of magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove added to their mastery.


    By making use of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, Chen Mobai continuously draws on the pure yang essence within the Hexayang Divine Fire Mirror, coupled with an ample supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he advances one realm every year. This is just barely catching up with the average level achieved by the top students in the history of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been toiling away in the Little Red Sky for the academy this year, and brought glory back to our Dance Tool Dao. I heard from Wang Xingyu that in a few days, the alchemy department will have a pool of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water ready. Do you think you could speak to Master Luo for me¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai revealed the main reason for his visit, of course, Che Yucheng agreed to this small but totally legal and legitimate request.


    After all, the Dance Tool Dao had scored the highest points in Little Red Sky this year, thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s Battle Law Victory, which held the top position for the longest time. This merit can easily be converted into some Qi-replenishing Spirit Water exchange quota even if it were brought up with the principal; it¡¯s reasonable.


    ¡°Once the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is ready, look for Luo Hezheng. I¡¯ll let him reserve a liter for you. But this time, you need to exchange it with your own points.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    A liter of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is worth 10 points. After Chen Mobai exchanged two Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir, he will still have 16 points left on his student card, more than enough.


    After leaving Che Yucheng¡¯s place, Chen Mobai went to see his good pal, Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°Here, be sure to return it when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Yunyang Bing handed a cloth bag to Chen Mobai. It was a special spirit gathering array he meticulously researched, capable of elevating a top-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein to lower-grade Rank-4.


    This spirit gathering array was one of the factors in Ming Yuhua¡¯s success in achieving Foundation Establishment last year.


    ¡°Thanks, brother. I¡¯ll buy you a drink when I break through.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Like I said, if I don¡¯t achieve Foundation Establishment, I¡¯m not touching alcohol in this lifetime.¡±


    Yunyang Bing declined with a cold face.


    In the Metaphysical Class, two more individuals achieved Foundation Establishment this year. Among the three cultivators of the 5012 Pure Yang Scroll, Yunyang Bing was the only one yet to have done so, causing him considerable pressure recently.


    He made up his mind to put his research on formations on hold, and dedicate himself solely to achieve Foundation Establishment from next year onwards.


    However, he had already understood the Edge Method this year, so Chen Mobai felt that even without trying hard, Yunyang Bing should be able to achieve Foundation Establishment quite easily next year.


    The annual gathering of the Metaphysical Class was canceled this year because most of them felt the pressure. When Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua achieved Foundation Establishment, they were still comforting themselves that they would catch up.


    But earlier this year, after Lan Yufan successfully achieved Foundation Establishment by severing his lingering romantic attachment, everyone started to panic.


    The remaining four who understood the Edge Method all rented rooms in Building No.9 for a year and took an oath in the group that they wouldn¡¯t come out unless they had succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But when the end of the year arrived, not one of them had come out.


    Instead, after breaking up with her boyfriend, Lu Zixuan, who drastically changed her temperament, forced herself to break into the Foundation Building Realm without understanding the Edge Method and succeeded.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only remark how extreme the two of them were. The fact that strong emotional stimulation was needed for them to achieve Foundation Establishment made their progress less steady than his own natural process.


    After receiving the Spirit Gathering Array from Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai also checked into Building No.9.


    Sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet, he cast his Divine Sense out of his body, placing the Array Plate and the eight Array Flags at the appropriate positions. In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if the originally dense spiritual energy had been sucked out in the blink of an eye, becoming extremely rarefied.

 Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_3

    Chapter 402: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_3


    This Spirit Gathering Array works by storing the spiritual energy that would normally be released over a long period of time, and then detonating it all at once, creating the illusion of being in a vein of higher rank spirit.


    Therefore, before it is activated, it needs some time to absorb spiritual energy.


    Taking advantage of this time, Chen Mobai took out his Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    He held up his phone, silently snapping a picture of the formula on the bottom of the package. If he were to sell this thing in the Tianhe Realm, he reckoned it would cause a bidding war amongst all the major factions.


    But at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, this pill was only worth 30 academic credits.


    Among Rank-2 elixirs, the Barrier Breaking Pill and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water were the bestsellers. As a result, the Alchemy Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would make them every year, ensuring there were always some Barrier Breaking Pills in the storeroom to prevent students from being unable to exchange them when needed.


    It was a pity that the academy only had the materials to make Small Barrier Breaking Elixirs, not the Big Barrier Breaking Pill.


    However, unlike the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, it wasn¡¯t as valuable. If the medicine factories of the four main Daoist Academies combined efforts, they could still make it.


    Back when there was no Little Red Sky, the top ten colleges of the four Daoist Academies would engage in friendly exchanges and sparring sessions every three years.


    If the talks were successful, there would be occasions where they would cooperate to produce elixirs.


    In the past twenty years, the Big Breakthrough Pill had been successfully produced three times under these circumstances.


    Chen Mobai calculated the time. The last occasion was just two years ago. Zuo Qiushi represented the home team and challenged representatives from these three major Daoist Academies. With his Rank-7 Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, he barely maintained the reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    This meant that the next event would be the following year, but it was still unclear which Daoist Academy would host.


    At this thought, Chen Mobai felt invigorated.


    As the chief of the Dao Academy, he must lead the team in participation. Given his current fame, he would be in the spotlight no matter which Dao Academy he went to.


    He hoped it would be at the Jumang Dao Academy, where he intended to support his friend, Qing Nu.


    At this moment, the Array Plate of the Spirit Gathering Array before him lit up with spiritual light, signalling that it was fully charged and ready to be activated.


    Chen Mobai wasted no time, pointing a finger to activate it.


    As the dense spiritual energy rushed towards him, he tore open the plastic seal of the Small Barrier Breaking Elixir and swallowed the small black pill.


    The pure and concentrated spiritual energy was like a solid substance, absorbed bit by bit through Chen Mobai¡¯s seven orifices. His eyes closed, and his whole body began to radiate a rosy glow. The Pure Yang Spiritual Power, boosted by his Fire Spirit Body, turned into waves and began to assault the bottleneck in his Dantian.


    Usually, the Realm bottleneck would gradually loosen under constant impact, from being rigid to loose, until it is completely broken through.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first attempt, so his bottleneck was still very rigid. Faced with the incoming Pure Yang Spiritual Power, his Dantian barely wavered and showed no signs of loosening.


    However, at that moment, the potency of the Barrier Breaking Pill began to permeate the surroundings of his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea.


    In an instant, the rigid bottleneck started to slowly dissolve, like snow under the sun or lumps of soil falling into water.


    Chen Mobai seized this opportunity. Using his Divine Sense to control the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he quickly broke through to Rank-2 Foundation Establishment.


    His Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea expanded by one third, allowing him to store more spiritual power.


    After his breakthrough, he didn¡¯t relax. His Divine Sense remained taut, repeatedly operating the Pure Yang Scroll. The Dao Academy Library contained many records of failed breakthrough experiences.


    The most common mistake was not sufficiently reinforcing a new Realm after a breakthrough, resulting in the opening in the bottleneck closing again and a fall in the Realm.


    By this time, the spiritual energy stored in the Spirit Gathering Array was depleted during the breakthrough process, and the pressure of the Rank-3 top-grade spiritual energy in the room even began to decline.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the Achilles¡¯ heel of the Yunyang Ice Formation.


    But Chen Mobai was prepared. He shattered the two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones that had been placed on the Array Plate earlier.


    In an instant, the Spirit Gathering Array glowed even brighter, even more so than when it started.


    Three days later.


    A refreshed and stable Chen Mobai walked out of his room, shouting ¡°checkout¡± very loudly to the two student workers at the front desk.

 Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: Chapter 301 Separation_1

    Chapter 403: Chapter 301 Separation_1


    After breaking through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was eager to share the good news with his friends.


    However, despite searching throughout the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he found himself uncertain who to share it with.


    This year, Ming Yuhua joined a major project, working alongside the top students of the Refining Implement Department to refine a Rank-4 large equipment magic artifact under an order from Gongye Zhixu, effectively a mission from the Immortal Sect.


    He had left the Daoist Academy in the middle of the year and has not returned up to present.


    After receiving two more Vermillion Fruits from Chen Mobai, Wang Xingyu had started refining pills in his medicinal pool while Chen was secluded for cultivation advancement. It was estimated that it would take some time before the refining process was completed.


    The other students of the Metaphysical Class has also been stimulated by stress, choosing to go into reclusive cultivation during the break.


    Only Yunyang Bing could be reached, but Chen Mobai felt it would be inappropriate to show off in front of him. After all, his Spirit Gathering Array has been of great help in Chen¡¯s breakthrough.


    After returning the Array Plate and Array Flag, Chen Mobai walked through the academy, looking at the youthful and spirited path filled with students, and felt a sincerer sense of loneliness.


    Posting on the friend circle was something that Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t bring himself to do unless drinking.


    He opened the friend page on his phone, scrolling up and down, and paused when he saw a few avatars of friends he hadn¡¯t contacted in a long time.


    He remembered that he still owed Wanyu a tube of lipstick.


    He immediately sent her a message asking if she was at school during the break.


    Wanyu replied immediately with great surprise.


    But sadly, she had gone home this year and was not in Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    In response, Chen Mobai could only regretfully shake his head. However, the message he sent back was very polite, stating that he would ask her out when he was free.


    On the other side of the phone, Wanyu, who was lying on her bed with her long, beautiful legs crossed, was playing with her phone in annoyance.


    ¡°Damn, why did I have to go home this year!¡±


    Unaware of this, Chen Mobai contacted a few other friends. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the cabin he rented.


    Lifting his eyes, the villa on the mountaintop was still deserted.


    Meng Huang has not returned for half a year. No one knows what motivated her this semester, but she attempted to achieve Foundation Establishment without understanding the Boundary Law.


    Unfortunately, she wasn¡¯t Lu Zixuan, who had gone through a deep emotional shock from a breakup, and ultimately failed.


    Chen Mobai only learned of this later from the student council members.


    During that time, he returned to Red Sandstone City as the half-year agreement with Wu Shangru drew near. The Feitian Talisman Factory was to be officially handed over to him.


    Once this matter was taken care of, Wu Shangru could formally leave Red Sandstone City. He was extremely keen on this, always urging Chen Mobai to return.


    Under the witness of Qin Baipeng, Chen Mobai officially took over the Feitian Talisman Factory. The media reported on this for several days.


    Of course, all the news was positive.


    Return home with honor, make the family proud¡­


    In that period, Chen Mobai was the hottest topic in Red Sandstone City.


    But because he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, no media dared to harass him, allowing him to stay peacefully at home and at the factory for some time.


    After the carefree departure of Wu Shangru, Chen Mobai had to stay and manage the factory for a month.


    Thankfully, Chen Xinglan, Tang Panchui, and even Luan Jingsheng, had all become proficient at their respective tasks. After the change in management, suppliers and channels gave face to Chen Mobai, the Chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. They were even willing to yield a point or two in profits, wanting to sign longer-term contracts.


    With a smooth transition in mind and considering his youth and the more than two hundred years he had to run the talisman factory, Chen Mobai renewed the contracts for four years. After his official graduation from the Daoist Academy, he would make further adjustments.


    However, he fulfilled his promise to add Shen Juanxiu¡¯s family to the list of Ling Sha suppliers for the Feitian Talisman Factory as a way to repay her for her previous support.


    In return, Shen Juanxiu and her newlywed husband invited him over for a meal.


    After dealing with matters in Red Sandstone City, he returned to Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    However, on the first day he returned, Chen Mobai heard the news of Meng Huang¡¯s failed attempt at the Foundation Establishment.


    He wanted to visit and comfort her as a friend, however, the villa on the mountain was empty, and she did not pick up his calls.


    It was only after he asked Bian Yiqing that he found out Meng Huang has gone on a national tour with him to heal her injuries, temper her heart, and hopefully comprehend her path amid the bustling world.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this time there was no Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe as Jiang Yuyuan has achieved Foundation Establishment. He was taken away by a higher up from the Immortal Sect.


    Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s guess, Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s cultivation progression should not be slower than his. The Shocking God Sonata, being dependent on Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s cultivation level, is one of the hopes for Nascent Soul elders to achieve Divinity Transformation.


    Jiang Yuyuan definitely wouldn¡¯t lack items like Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Barrier Breaking Pill.


    There were times when Chen Mobai wondered if Meng Huang deliberately failed her Foundation Establishment because she didn¡¯t want to live a life of being reared by the higher-ups.


    But he only thought of it. After all, they had several warm conversations. From texts and voice messages, he could feel her longing for Foundation Establishment and frustration at her inability to comprehend Boundary Law.

 Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Chapter 301: Separation _2

    Chapter 404: Chapter 301: Separation _2


    Meng Huang¡¯s failure in her Foundation Establishment had returned Chen Mobai, the ever-optimist, to the ruthless reality of Immortal Cultivation.


    The last failure he witnessed was from his own father¡¯s attempt in Foundation Establishment.


    He wondered how many of his friends would be forced into military service to participate in wars, due to their inability to establish their foundation, at the time of graduation.


    With an indescribable sense of melancholy, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    Two Message Talismans were blocked outside the Cloud Mist Array.


    Upon reading them, he found out that they were from Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan.


    Zhuo Ming had returned. Although the Jade Bud Spirit Wine from the South Mountain Shop hadn¡¯t all been sold yet, a part of the Spirit Field needed to be harvested by the end of the year, so she put her business aside and came back first.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, had written a long list of her insights when she used the Flame Lighting Technique, as well as various changes to her body, and wanted to ask if her condition was normal.


    Indeed, Chen Mobai had experience in that area.


    After all, he had been planted with the Flame Lighting Technique by the Crimson Robed True Man, which had transformed his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After reading the Message Talismans, Chen Mobai opened the Cloud Mist Array.


    The dispersing cloud and mist on the mountain top signaled his exit from seclusion.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan joined him.


    ¡°Greetings, master.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve had some insights during my retreat, and have somewhat advanced in my cultivation. Today, I will teach you some techniques.¡±


    Since taking on apprentices, Chen Mobai had rarely given formal lessons, because he was still a student himself and felt he wasn¡¯t qualified to teach.


    However, today, his emotions got the better of him and he suddenly felt like teaching a class.


    ¡°Congratulations on your advancement, master. Should we call senior brother to listen to your lecture?¡±


    Zhuo Ming looked eagerly surprised, but Luo Yixuan, while congratulating him, smoothly suggested inviting their senior brother. She was always thoughtful in words and deeds.


    ¡°He¡¯s still recuperating from his injuries. When he¡¯s recovered and comes to South Mountain, I¡¯ll give him an individual lesson.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan nodded in understanding. Zhuo Ming, on the other hand, scratched her head awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty as she had not thought about Liu Wenbo.


    Although Zhuo Ming was cultivating the Mother Earth Scripture and Luo Yixuan was practicing the Blackwater Cultivation, which differed from Chen Mobai¡¯s Wood Fire Duality, once they reach the Foundation Establishment, learning Qi Cultivation techniques becomes as easy as solving elementary school math problems.


    The lesson lasted until sunset, and both apprentices were both amazed and pleasantly surprised. They even took out pen and paper to take notes on parts they didn¡¯t understand, intending to ponder over it later.


    Chen Mobai felt like he still had more to say, but his teaching also helped him solidify his understanding of the realm he just broke through.


    After the lesson, he planted the Flame Lighting Technique in Luo Yixuan again.


    This time, due to his advancement, Chen Mobai found that the flame he gave through the Flame Lighting Technique could now last as long as nine days.


    That could be considered good news.


    After his disciples left, Chen Mobai contacted Yue Zutao through a Message Talisman to inquire about the investigation into the loss of the Lei Nation¡¯s Spirit Stone Mine.


    The latter informed him that there was still no news, but the materials for the Foundation Building Pill had been arranged by the Reward Virtue Hall. Zeng Woyou would start refining it after a month of quiet cultivation. This was also good news.


    He hoped that Mu Yuan and Yu Lian would be successful in their Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai had always been confident in them. After all, he didn¡¯t feel any difficulty when he was establishing his foundation.


    He wasn¡¯t planning to succeed the first time, and the second time he took the Foundation Building Pill, he succeeded with his eyes open and shut.


    But after witnessing Meng Huang¡¯s failure, he began to feel a bit apprehensive.


    After showing his presence at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Mr. President, congratulations on breaking through. Let me wish you a Happy New Year in advance.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, same to you.¡±


    In the small western-style building of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai greeted a few resigned student council members. After they finished their tasks, they too were going to leave Crimson City and return home.


    Fortunately, Hua Zijing chose to stay.


    In this way, even without Chen Mobai, the student council could still operate.


    ¡°You have to work hard in the coming days.¡±


    While Hua Zijing was petting a cat, she suddenly heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words. She turned around somewhat puzzled to find that Chen Mobai, who was sitting in the president¡¯s seat, had disappeared. His voice came from outside the open window.


    ¡°I¡¯m bored at the academy. I¡¯m going home.¡±


    Hua Zijing was speechless, but as the secretary-general of the student council, she was used to it.


    It was just like when Zuo Qiushi was there; she was always left in charge.


    ¡°Next year when I graduate, I¡¯m curious to see who you¡¯ll find to do all these things.¡±


    Hua Zijing looked at the window from where Chen Mobai had left, voicing her frustration.


    She was in ninth grade this year, and she would be a tenth grader when school started next year. She was set to graduate by the end of the year and did not plan on wasting time at the Daoist Academy. Instead, she aimed to join the Immortal Gate and obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, like Zuo Qiushi.


    Chen Mobai was fully aware of her plan, and he was already searching for someone new to be his secretary.


    Many classmates did not come back to Red Sandstone City this year.


    Among these included Qing Women, Yan Bingxuan, Song Zheng, Shi Yuanqing, Mo Simin, and so on.


    Only Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling would come back almost every year. After Chen Mobai had visited Shi Qujin, he had taken them out for a meal.


    He received some good news during the meal.


    Cao Yaling had apprehended the boundary technique and had tried to take the three Foundation Establishment treasures this year. Although she had failed, she was essentially halfway through the threshold of Foundation Establishment.


    At the same time, he heard regrettable news.


    Chen Si hadn¡¯t been successful in establishing her Foundation.


    She and Shen Juanxiu graduated in the same year, and in an attempt to avoid military service, Chen Si had no choice but to try to build her foundation. But ultimately, she failed.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that before leaving, even the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would come to see me off.¡±


    At the gates of the Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai saw Chen Si, who was dragging a small suitcase. Seeing him, she smiled slightly, seeming quite cheerful.


    Chen Mobai greatly respected her decision after her failure to establish her Foundation.


    Chen Si did not choose to marry like Shen Juanxiu. Instead, she bravely faced the military service by choosing to enlist.


    Along with Chen Mobai, Shen Juanxiu had also come over.


    They left the institute gate and arrived on a wide road.


    Shen Juanxiu wept like rain, making Chen Si, who was initially quite composed, unable to hold back the tears welling in her eyes.


    ¡°Take care.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave Chen Si a set of Crimson Flame Sword Talismans and a rabbit puppet he had made. It was not only cute, but it could also serve as a companion for conversation. She accepted with a smile.


    ¡°Thank you, we¡¯ll meet again someday.¡±


    Watching Chen Si¡¯s beautiful figure retreating, Chen Mobai thought back to their first encounter at the Immortal Gate High School. At that time, she walked in with a smile, and the sunlight outside the window poured onto her long black hair, as if it was coated with a thin layer of golden sheen.


    Her elegant posture and the warmth in her eyes at that time were a beautiful scene Chen Mobai would never forget.


    He wished he could reach out and ask her to stay, but he couldn¡¯t find a valid reason.


    Moreover, joining the military was Chen Si¡¯s decision, and in her heart, there was still a flame burning, yearning for higher realms.


    In the end, all Chen Mobai could do was watch her figure fade away under the grey sky.


    Before this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite comprehend the feeling of separation. Now, he understood.


    It was indeed very bitter.


    Establishing one¡¯s Foundation was already so challenging. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder if any of his friends could walk with him to the realm beyond Foundation Establishment.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai had dreams every day. He dreamt that after a long period of seclusion, when he woke up and opened the door, the world had changed, and a millennium had passed.


    All his friends had turned to dust, dissipated between heaven and earth.


    The dreams were so frequent that he thought he might be obsessed with it.


    He immediately called Che Yucheng for advice. But to his surprise, Che told him that this was a sign of an epiphany and a symptom of realm improvement.


    Generally, those who are cultivating the Divine Manipulation Technique would experience such situations.


    Of course, if one couldn¡¯t surpass this hurdle on their own, then they would indeed fall into obsession.


    But Che Yucheng also reassured Chen Mobai. The Immortal Gate had plenty of medicine that could treat these situations, but it would be best if he could overcome it on his own, as it would result in greater rewards.


    If he were to medicate, he would miss the rare opportunity to enhance his state of mind.

    ¡°You can choose to do something that makes you focus.¡±


    On the phone, Che Yucheng shared some of his experiences.


    He had also experienced this situation in the past. It was only when he engrossed himself in building an aircraft carrier puppet model that he could finally surpass this hurdle.


    ¡°What should I do?¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai started to ponder.

 Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_1

    Chapter 409: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_1


    The new semester began, and Chen Mobai made a special trip to the Talisman Department for some matters.


    By the time he was in class, he heard a piece of good news.


    Zhuang Jialan had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai, she and Si Guanyu would have been the leading figures in the Talisman Department.


    Even so, she still showed off her talent.


    Si Guanyu also understood the critical law, but he was a bit unlucky. He failed at the critical moment where Divine Sense was about to leave the body. If he had not used the critical law to retrace, he would have scattered his mind, and his Elemental Energy would have suffered significant damage.


    Even so, he still needs to delay for half a year before he can establish foundation.


    ¡°Congratulations, committee member Zhuang, Class Leader Si shouldn¡¯t be discouraged. With your talent, you¡¯ll definitely be able to establish your foundation within this year.¡±


    After the first class of the new semester ended, Chen Mobai sat in the center of the front row. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan walked over to greet him, the chief of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hope your words bring me luck. However, I originally made an agreement with Zhuang to restore a Rank-3 ancient talisman this term. But now, it has to be postponed.¡±


    Si Guanyu said with a bitter smile. He and Zhuang Jialan had passed the Talisman Maker¡¯s Rank-2 examination given by the immortal gate when they were in the fourth grade. Their next goal is naturally the Rank-3 position.


    And restoring an ancient talisman is a way they improve their learning.


    There are many high-rank ancient talismans in the Talisman Department that are damaged and cannot be used, all of which contain rudimentary and profound knowledge about talisman-making.


    Restoring each ancient talisman is an enhancement and refinement of one¡¯s knowledge base.


    This is because during the restoration process, various modern talisman knowledge needs to be used to supplement those incomplete patterns of the dao and traces of spirits in the ancient talisman.


    Using this method, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan improved their talisman making skills significantly and also developed the ability to think and solve problems independently.


    This was also mentioned by Xu Xiu, the Talisman Department¡¯s teacher, in the classroom. However, only a few among the entire class did it, and the ones who achieved results were these two.


    Chen Mobai focused on elevating his realm and cultivation level. Although Xu Xiu had suggested several times that he join Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan¡¯s team to restore ancient talismans, he promised but had never participated in this ancient talisman restoration group.


    ¡°That¡¯s the case, Class Leader Si, Committee Member Zhuang, I also registered for the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam this year. Thinking about your experiences, I came today to draw on your wisdom.¡±


    After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai got straight to the point.


    Upon hearing this, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan exchanged glances. Later, the latter nodded and spoke.


    ¡°Class Leader Si will focus on establishing foundation this year and probably won¡¯t have much time. If you have any problems in talisman-making, you can directly ask me.¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t that be too much trouble for you?¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked her politely.


    Zhuang Jialan shook her head, indicating that she alone could hardly restore the Rank-3 ancient talisman. As Si Guanyu was working on his foundation, she also had no other things to do. She felt honored to be able to help Chen Mobai, the academy¡¯s chief, improve. As a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she was more than willing to help.


    ¡°Thank you. By the way, Committee Member Zhuang, after establishing the foundation, you must have received a device piece, right? Have you thought about what type of Magic Artifact you want? As the student union president, there¡¯s not much I can help you with, but I do have some skills in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    Chen Mobai originally wanted to give some Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink, but that seemed a bit common. Thinking that Zhuang Jialan had just established her foundation and likely hadn¡¯t opened a Device Nurturing Sphere yet, he offered to find a suitable Magic Artifact for her from the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°That would be great. I¡¯ve heard about your reputation as the No.1 Spirit Eye from the senior students who have established their foundations.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a reputation.¡±


    Chen Mobai modestly downplayed the compliment, then invited Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu to have lunch in the cafeteria.


    It must be said that people who concentrate on studying talismans have indeed more outstanding professional knowledge than Chen Mobai, who has divided attentions.


    Zhuang Jialan tutored Chen Mobai for seven days, and the latter finally made some progress on the Water Mirror Talisman, which he had been unable to draw.


    ¡°Your two talisman brushes, the rabbit hair one is softer and can carry more ink, suitable for drawing round and thick strokes; the wolf hair one is stiffer, powerful and vigorous, suitable for those lines.¡±


    ¡°The outer contour of the Water Mirror Talisman can be drawn with the wolf hair brush, and the mirror surface is best drawn with the rabbit hair brush. Use the firm and direct lines of the wolf hair brush to envelop the shadow and light and dark of the mirror surface.¡±


    ¡°This golden paper is very good, particularly suitable for the Water Mirror Talisman. The talisman ink is also not bad, although it is not the most suitable water pattern ink, it is still the best-selling standard Rank-2 talisman ink in the immortal gate¡­¡±


    Generally speaking, although there are many types of talisman papers, there are only a few suitable for the Five Elements. So Chen Mobai¡¯s Flying Heaven Talisman Factory can basically manufacture them all.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But talisman ink is different. With various types, Chen Mobai, not being that meticulous, simply took some of the best quality and most versatile Rank-2 talisman ink from his factory.


    ¡°But the talisman brushes are a bit inadequacy. In addition to the two main talisman brushes, it¡¯s better to purchase a set of good auxiliary talisman brushes. Rank-1 is enough. This will be of great help for the exam.¡±


    At last, Zhuang Jialan gave her opinion after the training.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been using these two talisman brushes for several years, and I feel their feel is not bad. It¡¯s no problem to draw any talisman or line.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes made of rabbit hair and wolf hair by his side. After he established the foundation, he had been using these two brushes for drawing any talisman, spiritual patterns, lines, even coloring and his success rate was quite high.

 Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_2

    Chapter 410: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_2


    Tianhe Realm occasionally taught Zhuo Ming how to make talismans, and let her use these two talisman brushes. After each use, she would clean them thoroughly with mountain spring water, cherishing them greatly.


    ¡°Without wasting hundreds of brush tips, one can¡¯t become an outstanding Talisman Maker.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan quoted a famous saying from the most famous talisman maker in the immortal world: there are no shortcuts to success, only the cycle of diligent study and practice.


    Since Chen Mobai started learning to make talismans, he had only wasted one talisman brush, which was far from enough.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned my lesson, so what kind of talisman brush should I buy, in your opinion, Zhuang?


    Zhuang Jialan unzipped the brush pouch hanging from her slender waist and took out the talisman brushes she used most often.


    There were needle-tube brushes designed for fine lines, graphite pencils for sketching, colored pencils for simple coloring, as well as a rainbow brush filled with seven colors of ink, in addition, she had brushes made of wolf hair, goat hair, rabbit hair, purple hair, rat whiskers, and so on.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened at the sight of Zhuang Jialan taking out a full eighteen different types of talisman brushes from her palm-sized brush pouch. He deeply felt that his attitude towards making talismans was flawed.


    ¡°In my dormitory, there are another fifty or sixty talisman brushes of different thicknesses and colors,. What I carry here are just the most common ones.¡±


    After Zhuang Jialan finished introducing her talisman brush tools, Chen Mobai memorized them in his heart and then asked where he could buy such a complete set of tools.


    ¡°The best ones are from the Heavenly Book Academy in Weiyu Dongtian, but their stuff is too expensive. A complete set of Rank-1 talisman brushes, encompassing a variety of lines and colors with a total of seventy-two brushes, would cost 108 million Good Deed Points. I only bought the seven most commonly used ones.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan pointed to the seven rainbow brushes as she spoke. Due to her limited Good Deed Points, most of her other auxiliary talisman brushes were still cheap lower-grade Rank-1 talisman brushes, or unbranded ones with good reputations that were middle to high grade Rank-1.


    ¡°I see, I¡¯ll order them right away.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, looking serious.


    He finally knew why his study of talisman engraving was so slow. The key was the lack of proper tools.


    ¡°Mom, is there still more than a million Good Deed Points in profits left in the company¡¯s account?¡±


    After sending Zhuang Jialan away, Chen Mobai immediately called Tang Panchui. She was the one managing the finances of Flying Sky Talisman Factory at the moment.


    ¡°Yes, why?¡±


    ¡°Please buy a set of auxiliary talisman brushes from the Heavenly Book Academy in the name of the company for me. I realized after consulting with a master today that the tools I use are too simple and have been negatively impacting my efficiency in learning to make talismans.¡±


    ¡°No problem. That money was originally intended for you anyway. Whether you buy it in the name of the company or not, it¡¯s still for your use. This way, we not only avoid paying taxes, but can also get an invoice for tax deduction.¡±


    If it were anyone else asking to spend Good Deed Points from the account of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, Tang Panchui wouldn¡¯t have agreed so readily.


    Only for Chen Mobai, who, in order to take the Rank-2 Talisman Master Examination, needed to use up all the profits the factory made last year, was Tang Panchui generous, and even asked him if it was enough. After buying a set of auxiliary talisman brushes from the Heavenly Book Academy, there were still more than 50 million Good Deed Points left in the company account. Tang Panchui wanted to know if he wanted to buy more tools.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan if there were any other areas where he lacked in terms of tools.


    Zhuang Jialan stated that other areas could be compensated by technique and practice but the area of talisman brushes could not be spared. The more wasted, the higher the technique.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t have enough Good Deed Points, you can do like me and just buy the seven key colors first. These should be sufficient for making talismans.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm, I understand. Thank you, Committee Member Zhuang.¡±


    After getting a definite answer, Chen Mobai immediately instructed the company¡¯s finance department to place the order.


    Under the personal supervision of Tang Panchui, the order was successfully placed that day at Heavenly Book Academy¡¯s flagship store. Since the transfer of millions of Good Deed Points required a trip to the bank, she personally accompanied the accountant to complete the transaction before the end of the workday.


    Three days later.


    When Zhuang Jialan came to the student council to tutor Chen Mobai again, she was stunned to see a complete, brand-new Heavenly Book Talisman Brush Set on the table. She was so shocked that her rosy lips were agape.


    ¡°This is¡­.¡±


    She extended a hand excitedly, touching each one to confirm its authenticity. After confirming they were genuine, her pale cheeks turned rosy and were at a loss for words.


    ¡°Committee Member Zhuang, I don¡¯t really know how to use these auxiliary talisman brushes. Could you teach me?¡±


    ¡°Alright, but I¡¯ve only seen this on the Internet. In order to truly grasp it, I need hands-on experience to be able to teach you.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan had finally calmed her emotions down a bit at this point.


    She couldn¡¯t help but touch the two talisman brushes that she had planned to save up for, which were currently tucked inside her Heavenly Book Collection. Her dainty eyes, framed by delicate glasses, looked at Chen Mobai, seated in his office chair, with a peculiar gleam.


    Is he so rich even after Foundation Establishment because he¡¯s the Student Council President?


    As Zhuang Jialan thought of it, she asked. Having been classmates with Chen Mobai for seven years, she knew him well. He was a student with excellent behaviors and temperaments.


    ¡°You misunderstand, Miss Zhuang. Didn¡¯t I make quite a name for myself last year in the Little Red Sky? A talisman factory from my hometown invited me to be their spokesperson. Due to local policy support¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai explained everything about how he managed to get his household registration transferred and the opportunity with the Flying Talisman Factory. After hearing his story, Zhuang Jialan looked at him with envy.


    She didn¡¯t have Chen Mobai¡¯s fame. Even if she transferred her household registration back to her hometown, the most she could hope for, she thought, was probably a piece of land, relevant policy support, and maybe a complete talisman factory, but she dared not even imagine it.


    ¡°What¡¯s your family factory¡¯s online store name? Will it be cheaper if I place an order there?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely! Just mention my name to the customer service, I will ensure you get a good deal.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted his chest confidently, implying that he will take care of her talisman paper and talisman ink needs for the rest of her life.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jialan blushed again. She adjusted her round-framed glasses, her slender eyebrows and eyes flickered toward him. Combined with a smile that appeared on her dimpled cheek, it was a type of enchanting demeanor that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s forget it. I am just teaching you how to make talismans. There¡¯s no need for such generous payback.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered he was looking for a new secretary candidate for the student council after Hua Zijing graduates. Would the person in front of him be suitable?


    ¡°Miss Zhuang, are you interested in joining the Student Council?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t embarrass himself by asking her to help him manage trivial matters right from the start, but he asked her first.


    ¡°Are there any benefits?¡±


    If she asked such a question, it means she was interested.


    Chen Mobai quickly repeated the pitch that Zuo Qiushi initially used to woo him. Zhuang Jialan listened attentively, and her eyes lit up a bit when she heard that she could look at the Map of Treasures for free.


    ¡°If you join the Student Council, you¡¯ll be my confidante, and you¡¯re guaranteed a minimum of 5 credits per year.¡±


    ¡°The credits earned from the Map of Treasures, after giving half to the Daoist Academy, the rest is shared equally among the members of the Student Council. Last year, each person got 2.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t promise much else, but as long as I¡¯m the president, you can count on getting 7 additional credits per year.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was somewhat tempted by Chen Mobai¡¯s words. After all, she understood the benefits of these credits very well.


    For Chen Mobai, 7 credits were trivial, but for her, they were equivalent to nearly half of a year¡¯s hard-earned results.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be too busy, right? I mainly want to improve my talisman-making skills.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I personally invited you, so you are my confidante. Who would dare to assign work to you? All you need do is to help me manage some simple paperwork, just as a gesture.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure if Zhuang Jialan could take over the work of Hua Zijing, so he didn¡¯t make it clear. His plan was to assign her some simple work after she joined the Student Council.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If she could handle it well, he would continue to train her.


    If she was just average, then he would consider it as a reward for helping him with his studies, and let her be a little invisible presence in the Student Council.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue with the talisman-making first. I¡¯ll think carefully about joining the Student Council when I go home.¡±


    Although Zhuang Jialan was tempted, she didn¡¯t let her mind wander.


    Chen Mobai nodded, then he took out the True Void Talisman he failed to draw last night to humbly seek her advice.

 Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Chapter 305: Sowing in Spring_1

    Chapter 411: Chapter 305: Sowing in Spring_1


    The days seemed to fly by when there were things to do.


    Under the guidance of Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai quickly mastered the drawing of the three Rank-2 talismans for his examination.


    In addition to this, there was one more piece of good news: Zhuang Jialan agreed to join the Student Council.


    Without him having to command anything, Hua Zijing¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight of Zhuang Jialan, and she took the initiative to help her adjust.


    For such attention, Zhuang Jialan felt somewhat flattered.


    She naturally knew Hua Zijing, regardless of whether Zuo Qiu or Chen Mobai was the president, she was undoubtedly the second-ranking figure in the Student Council.


    It was surprising that the prestigious Vice President and Secretary, would take time out to guide her, a newbie, with great dedication. It could only be said that Chen Mobai¡¯s face was big enough.


    After some time of guidance, Hua Zijing stated that although Zhuang Jialan was not as capable as her, she had high potential, plenty of room for improvement, and strong learning skills.


    Hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s assessment, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about the underlying implications of this comment. He nodded satisfactorily, feeling relieved that one worry was out of the way. He could now focus on the planting of this year¡¯s spring rice in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Master, these are the rice grains we selected last year.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, wearing a straw hat, took out several bags of plump rice grains from the storage bag at her waist.


    They were now at the foot of Xiao Nanshan, in the core ten acres of Spirit Field, where the spiritual energy of the earth veins was most abundant, and Jade Bamboo was growing strong and sturdy.


    For each joint that the jade bamboo grew, Zhuo Ming would cut an opening with a pinching knife, then seal carefully selected Jade Bud Rice Grain into it.


    After cultivating for ten years and when the jade bamboo was fully grown and ripe, one could cut off the topmost bamboo joint with a sickle, which would then be filled with fragrant Rank-2 Spiritual Rice.


    When all the bamboo joints of a whole piece of jade bamboo were cut off, it meant that a cycle of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice had matured.


    It was time to sow the second round.


    Each spring, these Jade Bamboos, which are specially grown to nurture Spiritual Rice, would grow one more joint, and today Chen Mobai had descended from the mountain specifically for this matter.


    In addition to Zhuo Ming, Luo Yixuan had also come along.


    She had even changed into a coarse hemp shirt suitable for farming, with all her sleeves and trouser cuffs tied up with a red silk ribbon. She wore straw shoes on her feet, and in her fair right hand she held a crescent sickle, wearing a straw hat on her head, mimicking Zhuo Ming¡¯s method of sowing seeds.


    Although her actions seemed very clumsy to Chen Mobai, he was very pleased with her attitude as a teacher.


    Seeing Luo Yixuan stumbling along, doing exactly as Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai who was also busy cutting bamboo joints and sealing Spiritual Rice, gave a slight nod of approval.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm had a kind of determination that the students of the Immortal Sect did not have.


    Perhaps they all knew that opportunities for Immortal Cultivation were hard to come by and were unusually cherished.


    After the teacher and his two students had spent five or six days sealing all the newly grown Jade Bamboo joints with carefully selected premium Jade Bud Rice Grain, Chen Mobai felt that Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation level seemed to have increased a bit.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation truly suited her.


    ¡°Xuan, for the next month, use the Falling Rain Technique that your master has taught you to irrigate these ten acres of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Luo Yixuan obediently nodded, while also expressing a little embarrassment that she had never used the Falling Rain Technique before. She was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t do it well and would delay the most precious ten acres of Spiritual Rice in Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, if you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask Ming. She has a natural talent for Spirit Plants. She has learned about one or two of master¡¯s achievements in this area. There should be no problem in taking care of this Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡±


    ¡°My sister is so amazing. This is the only Rank-2 Spirit Rice of our Divine Wood Sect. When these ten acres of Spirit Rice mature, she will be a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan admiringly spoke to Zhuo Ming who was at her side. The latter, who was praised by her, felt somewhat embarrassed and repeatedly waved her hand, indicating that it was just a matter of proficiency.


    ¡°Coincidentally, your master is free today. If you have any questions about cultivation, just ask.¡±


    By the Spirit Fields, Chen Mobai chose a stone and sat down, while his two disciples stood on his left and right, each raising the confusion they had encountered in their cultivation during this period.


    Luo Yixuan, having already reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, had only a few questions about Foundation Establishment, but she still managed to squeeze out a few to show her presence.


    Unexpectedly, Zhuo Ming had more questions about Spirit Plants compared to her cultivation.


    ¡°Master, I feel that the cultivation method for Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice is incomplete. Aren¡¯t the other 20 plus types of Spirit Rice you made me plant aimed at improving this point?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised that Zhuo Ming could raise this question.


    This child was naturally suited for farming.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I am pleased that you noticed this. Later, take my nameplate and go to the Department of Cultivation to read all the data related to the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai had long discovered that as the only method of breeding Rank-2 Spirit Rice in the Divine Wood Sect, there was a significant defect.


    Mature seeds on the Celestial Gate side, are directly sowed and irrigated, naturally absorbing earth energy to grow. Once they break through the soil, they open tender buds and can absorb nature¡¯s spiritual energy, and essence of the sun and moon.


    During the maturation process of the seeds, the Spirit Plant Master merely needs to regularly irrigate and fertilize, and pay attention to pests. There was no need for complicated and troublesome operations such as planting Gold Edge Bamboo first, waiting for the Jade Bamboo to grow, and then sealing the seeds into it.


    As a core Foundation Establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai naturally had access to all the secret scrolls about the ¡°Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡± within the sect.

    Chapter 412: Chapter 305 Planting in Spring_2


    The technique for cultivating this Rank-2 Spirit Rice was acquired by Zhou Shengqing at a great price in an auction held by a large trading union during the time when he was traveling in the territories outside the Eastern Wilderness and the Five Elements Sect had not yet split up.


    In the Tianhe Realm, there are two ways to trade the Methods of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.


    One is licensing, and the other is outright purchase.


    The former is akin to Back to Sky Valley¡¯s Rank-3 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice. Each year, they purchase rice seeds from the Star Heaven Trade Union. This fee is for the licensing, which grants them the exclusive rights to cultivate and sell within the Eastern Yi Territory.


    The latter method of outright purchase is exemplified by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. This was a Secret Technique inherited from a Sect within the Eastern Yi Territory. If it wasn¡¯t for the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment elder being grievously injured and needing Spiritual Medicine in exchange for treatment, this technique would not have been auctioned off.


    After Zhou Shengqing acquired this inheritance and brought it back to the Sect, he was praised by the then-living Hun Yuan elder.


    According to this inheritance specifically for Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, it¡¯s possible to raise ordinary Yubud Lingmi to Rank-3 if Rank-3 Spiritual Bamboo can be found.


    The value of Rank-3 Spirit Rice is vastly different.


    From the experience of the Tianhe Realm, if a Gold Core cultivator wishes to advance to ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, strengthening their qi and physical body can increase their rate of success.


    And only Spirit Rice of Rank-3 and above can be beneficial to these Gold Core cultivators.


    The Xiao Nanshan was an experimental ground for raising Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to Rank-3. Unfortunately, the cultivation method for this kind of Spirit Rice was too complicated and required a full ten-year cycle to mature.


    By the time the third trial cycle was underway, the Hun Yuan elder had passed away.


    After the splitting of the Five Elements Sect and Zhou Shengqing busying himself with seclusion to advance to Perfect Core Formation, he no longer had time to pay attention to this matter.


    It wasn¡¯t until Chen Mobai successfully established his foundation and chose Xiao Nanshan as his own Daoist training ground.


    The Sect Leader, Meng Hong, naturally knew about the origins of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. He also knew that Chen Mobai, aside from sword training, had a love for farming. Thus, he gave all the data on the Sect¡¯s experiment on cultivating Rank-3 Spirit Rice to Chen Mobai.


    However, this data was incomplete.


    Originally, in order to cultivate Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, the Spirit Plant Masters of the Earth Vein, Water Vein, and Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect tilled sixty acres of Spirit Field in Xiao Nanshan of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    After the big event of the sect¡¯s splitting, the Spirit Plant Masters of the three veins naturally each chose their own sides. The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s version was written from the memories of their vein¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters, kept only for passing down.


    It is said that they actually succeeded in cultivating two stalks of Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, but it was unknown whether it was by chance or they had truly mastered the trick. Moreover, this key technique was held by the core Earth Vein Spirit Plant Master and the Divine Wood Sect did not have it.


    This is why the Divine Wood Sect showed no interest in raising Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to Rank-3. They knew it would consume a huge amount of resources and success was not guaranteed.


    The inheritance of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivation is accessible even to cultivators who have established their foundation.


    Only the scrolls pertaining to Rank-3 Spirit Rice are treasured in the transmission department. Chen Mobai, considered to be at the core of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s future, naturally had easy access to this kind of information.


    Even so, Sect Leader Meng Hong specifically reminded him.


    He told him to prioritize sword training. While Rank-3 Spirit Rice is important, the sect¡¯s stockpile of Spirit Stones is adequate, and they can still purchase Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice for the two Core Formation elders. Most importantly, he must not delay his main cultivation due to this.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat touched by this.


    At least, Meng Hong, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, truly treated him as a future leader of the sect, and his treatment was no different from his fellow disciples.


    For this reason alone, Chen Mobai set a small goal.


    He wanted to apply his talent for farming to the Divine Wood Sect, so that everyone in the sect could have access to Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    This is also why Chen Mobai has been extremely diligent in agricultural studies for the past two years.


    Lin Wenkang, his Agricultural Studies teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy, was extremely pleased with this and imparted all his knowledge, believing Chen Mobai would become a leading figure in the cultivation farming field.


    Having completed reading the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s treasured data on Rank-3 Spirit Rice and combining it with the extensive knowledge available from the cultivation schools, Chen Mobai now understood all the concepts behind the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivation inheritance.


    The Spirit Plant Master who initially created the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was a genius.


    The Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice seed is actually a Rank-1 Yubud Lingmi, a type of spirit rice which is considered the most widely sown and technologically advanced spirit rice in the Tianhe Realm.


    The seven major factions of the Eastern Wilderness, as well as various immortal cultivating families and small sects, all have extensive experience in cultivating Yubud Lingmi and are able to harvest a significant amount each year.


    However, this spirit rice has one weakness¡ªit can¡¯t withstand the spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins.


    So, it can only be sown in Rank-1 Spirit Fields.


    The creator of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, however, had a whim. He wondered if he could filter the spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins in some way to make it bearable for the Yubud Lingmi, thus promoting its rank.


    After decades of grafting and sowing experiments, Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was created.


    The spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins is absorbed and transformed by the Jade Bamboo, becoming incredibly pure and gentle.


    And the seeds enshrined within the sections of the Jade Bamboo, under the nourishing effects of bamboo dew and bamboo spiritual energy, will undergo peculiar changes. After ten years of nurturing, these seeds will upgrade to Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    Following this theory, if there¡¯s a Rank-3 Spiritual Bamboo suitable for Yubud Lingmi, it is indeed possible to cultivate Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    It¡¯s no wonder that Hun Yuan was thrilled that Zhou Shengqing could buy this spirit plant legacy.


    However, from the Immortal Sect¡¯s perspective, it is indeed a wrong approach.


    To cultivate Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, the initial process requires the consumption of earth- and spiritual energy to nourish the Jade Bamboo¡¯s growth. After the spirit rice seeds are sealed inside, it needs to absorb the essence of Jade Bamboo. After two transformations, the energy consumption is one and a half times that of the Sect¡¯s Rank-2 Spirit Rice, and the maturation time is rather long.


    For the Spirit Plant Masters of the Immortal Sect, who meticulously cultivate every inch of the land and spiritual energy, Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice is naturally seen as the wrong path.


    After discovering this, Chen Mobai specifically consulted the Agricultural Studies teacher from the Daoist Academy, Lin Wenkang, and received several suggestions.


    Softening earth energy, maturing in stages, and improving the rice varieties, and so on.


    However, to definitively solve this problem, the best method is to improve the rice varieties.


    That is, by cross-breeding the Yubud Lingmi with another spirit rice that can endure Rank-2 earth energy. The combined seed variety, after several rounds of practical planting and cultivation, should select the most suitable, the fullest, and the most vigorous seeds.


    The process and methods are relatively simple. With Chen Mobai¡¯s top-class agricultural foundation from the Daoist Academy, he does not need Lin Wenkang¡¯s help to write a full thesis and method for improving rice varieties.


    However, the most difficult yet tedious and detailed part is the subsequent practical planting and cultivation.


    To obtain accurate and comprehensive experimental data and samples, and eventually derive the most suitable variety, the more types of cross-bred rice varieties, the better.


    During this process, it is necessary to have many people to record data and supervise them.


    The more seeds are planted, the more Spirit Fields are needed, and the more Spirit Plant Masters are welcomed.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s dream of improving rice varieties using the power of the Agricultural Studies Class could not be realized as the Daoist Academy¡¯s experimental fields were full of more precious Rank-3 and 4 medicinal herbs, leaving only a tiny piece for Spirit Rice.


    As a second-best option, he could only experiment at Xiao Nanshan.


    Luckily, Zhuo Ming was talented. After Chen Mobai explained the knowledge of cross-breeding and cultivating different rice varieties once, she understood everything.

    Seeing as all the major firms in the Tianhe Realm pay great attention to high-quality Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai chose local rice varieties from the Eastern Wilderness to cross with Yubud Lingmi.


    After Chen Mobai secured Xiao Nanshan, he, under his own name, had for the past two years consistently posted tasks in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to acquire all kinds of Spirit Rice varieties.


    With the power of the sect, apart from the ten core acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivated following the standard method, the other fifty acres were all sown with various kinds of Spirit Rice bought by Zhuo Ming, as arranged by Chen Mobai.


    These varieties of Spirit Rice varied in terms of rank, some mature in half a year, some take a full year, and some even take two to three years.


    Last year, Chen Mobai¡¯s Rank-2 Spiritual Wine made from Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was crossbred with a Rank-1 Premium variety called Precious Ginseng Spirit Rice. After adding in Rank-2 yeast from his hometown, and fermenting it with over a hundred ingredients from Hundred Herb Elixirs and Restoring God Soup, he was incredibly lucky and successfully brewed two jars.

 Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Chapter 306: Gold Core Makes a Move_1

    Chapter 413: Chapter 306: Gold Core Makes a Move_1


    After bringing the hybrid rice varieties to the cultivator¡¯s lab and inspecting them with the most advanced Magic Artifacts, Chen Mobai eliminated thirteen types.


    Among the remaining twelve, six were merged with the merits of Jade Bud Spirit Rice to create more vigorous Spirit Machines in the rice seeds, with hopes of developing a new Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    One of those was indeed the gem ginseng rice variety, the source of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    However, these hybrid rice varieties still had to be sown and further inspected after they matured. At the same time, their cultivation process needed to be observed to see if they were suitable to be grown in normal Spirit Fields.


    The spectrum results of the other six new types of rice showed a positive trend during inspection, but still needed to be planted to determine their uses.


    When Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming were sowing the new rice varieties, Liu Wenbo had recovered from his injuries and came to see him.


    An extra helping hand was naturally a good thing.


    Although Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were not as good as Zhuo Ming, they were still Cultivators and had both practiced water-related cultivation techniques, so they were assigned to irrigate the newly sown rice seeds with the Falling Rain Technique.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, began brewing Spirit Rice wine from last year¡¯s harvested Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming.


    Probably because the success of their Rank-2 Spiritual Wine had surprised the master and disciple, they decided to brew wine from every variant of hybrid Spirit Rice this time.


    While making the wine, Chen Mobai specifically invited Yan Jinye, who was already very familiar with the process of adding medicinal herbs into the brewing process just like Alchemy.


    When Yan Jinye arrived, she not only brought the two named disciples who had helped her last year but also brought along six disciples from the alchemy department.


    Because they needed to brew various types of wine, some were suitable to be brewed with added medicinal herbs, while others were not. Each needed to be tested and tasted separately.


    Zhuo Ming was delighted with this process.


    After all, her South Mountain Shop had basically transformed into a wine store, but there were only two types of Spiritual Wine.


    If they could brew a different type of wine from each of the twenty-five types of Spirit Rice, South Mountain Shop could firmly hold the title of the top wine store in Divine Wood City. They might even become the top shops in the Eastern Wilderness through Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Fang Markets.


    After about three busy months, the busiest spring of South Mountain¡¯s year had finally ended.


    After thanking Yan Jinye, Chen Mobai invited her and Yue Zutao to try some of the Rank-2 Spiritual Wine that they still had from last year.


    ¡°At Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou arranged for personnel from the Spirit Vein department to mine the Void Stone. It was indeed this unexpected windfall that allowed Elder Zhou to secure the Core Formation Spiritual Material from outside the Eastern Wilderness for the Sect Leader,¡± Yue Zutao revealed something he learned from his master Chu Zuoshu, while they were half through their drinking.


    ¡°No wonder the Sect Leader is in such a hurry to abdicate,¡± Chen Mobai remarked, having realized why the Sect Leader was eager to step down. If he were Meng Hong, he would choose Core Formation over the sect without hesitation.


    ¡°Our Alchemy and Spirit Plant departments have recently joined forces to capture the ¡®Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡¯ from our medicine field. Apparently, it¡¯s also being prepared for the Sect Leader¡¯s Core Formation ¨C they plan to turn a slice of the mushroom into Spirit Emptiness Tea,¡± Yan Jinye revealed, confirming that Meng Hong was about to prepare for Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai did know about the ¡°Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡±.


    In the four years that he had spent in the Spirit Plant department, he had learned that the most precious among the medicine fields of Giant Wood Mountain were the seventeen types of Rank-4 Thousand Year Medicine Herbs.


    The ¡°Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡± was one of them and was among the top three in terms of value.


    It was something that Elder Hun Yuan personally acquired from a large stockade in the Eastern Wu Region. The mushroom had already achieved spirituality, whizzing everywhere along with the earth Qi from the Spirit Vein. If not for the prohibition seal on the medicine field, the mushroom would probably have escaped.


    During Core Formation, drinking a slice of mushroom brewed into Spirit Emptiness Tea could reportedly provide continuous vigorous lifeblood and essence, thus increasing the success rate a little.


    Chen Mobai could only grumble inwardly about such a waste.


    This mushroom was one of the main ingredients for a sect¡¯s Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, and could also serve as the main ingredient for a Fire Elemental Gold Core and a Gold Elemental Gold Core.


    If a group of sect Alchemists saw the Divine Wood Sect discarding the potential of the mushroom by casually brewing it into tea, they would probably pop their eyes out in anger.

    After noting down this information, Chen Mobai asked Yue Zutao about the deficit of the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost ready to be wrapped up. Fu Xingzhou found out that two local Cultivator clans have pledged allegiance to Mountain Shaker Peak, jointly imprisoned Brother Luo, and forced him to ingest some kind of poisonous insect, leading to this farce,¡± Yue Zutao, who was Chu¡¯s disciple and had almost been guaranteed the next Sect Leader post, had access to almost all the high-level information.


    ¡°And what about Brother Yuan? Also, isn¡¯t this method too crude?¡± After hearing this, Chen Mobai found some contradictions. It was too risky for the local Cultivator clans in Lei Nation to imprison Luo Shupin, even if they had Mountain Shaker Peak as their backer.


    For any forces that have long been struggling to survive between the two major sects, they wouldn¡¯t resort to such extreme measures, even in desperate situations.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan¡¯s report is similar. But like you, he is planning to investigate why these two Cultivator clans are so desperate to betray the Divine Wood Sect,¡± Yue Zutao replied. Chen Mobai was still frowning, as he still could not figure out the meaning behind this incident.

 Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Chapter 306: Gold Core Takes Action_2

    Chapter 414: Chapter 306: Gold Core Takes Action_2


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Mountain Shaker Peak want to go to war with our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    From the simplest perspective, Yan Jinye voiced her understanding.


    ¡°Mountain Shaker Peak only has one Gold Core elder, how could they dare to go against our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Yue Zutao didn¡¯t understand at all, and Chen Mobai knew even less.


    They could only wait for news from Yuan Chiye.


    After finishing their drinks, the two of them bid their farewells and left with heavy hearts.


    After exchanging the news, they both sensed a storm brewing.


    The Eastern Wilderness, which hadn¡¯t seen conflict in over fifty years, might once again be on the brink of war.


    Chen Mobai could only sigh.


    If it were possible, he would prefer to just farm, practice his swordplay, and paint his talismans.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, these aspirations were a luxury for most cultivators.


    The last prolonged era of peace in the Eastern Wilderness was when the Hun Yuan elder was alive. The Five Elements Sect then reigned supreme for five hundred years, with all cultivation forces bowing their heads in deference.


    Now, in the Seven Great Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, the one with the most promising chances of Nascent Soul Formation was Zhou Shengqing from the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, moving into the Nascent Soul Formation stage is considered a life-and-death situation for Eastern Wilderness cultivators. Therefore, Zhou Shengqing might need to cultivate another Golden Core cultivator for the Divine Wood Sect before attempting it.


    When he was alone, Chen Mobai speculated about the thinking of the higher-ups in the sect and the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The more Golden Core cultivators the Divine Wood Sect had, the worse it would be for the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, during the peak of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s prominence, they only had one Nascent Soul and six Golden Core members.


    If the Divine Wood Sect had three Golden Core cultivators, they might even be able to challenge the remaining three branches of the Five Elements Sect alone.


    So, did the Five Elements Sect have a hand in all this?


    Chen Mobai felt as though he had grasped a hint of the truth when he thought up to this point.


    However, as far as he was concerned, the best thing would be to avoid conflicts.


    To avoid missing out on the latest news from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai spent most of the year in Xiao Nanshan.


    Hua Zijing still had a year left in the Daoist Academy, so it wouldn¡¯t be a waste of her talent.


    One day.


    While Chen Mobai was explaining laws to Liu Wenbo on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the very center of Giant Tree Ridge.


    A surge of great and vast spiritual power emerged from the top of an Everlife Wood, turning into a Qingyang green sun, breaking through the sky and heading north.


    ¡°Master, this is¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo voice trembled. He had never felt such a powerful spiritual machine. It was like a tremendous wave sweeping half the sky. Faced with this spiritual power, he felt like an ant facing an elephant, liable to be crushed at any moment.


    ¡°It should be Elder Zhou.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had encountered many Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal Sect, the only time he truly faced one was back in Red Sandstone City when dealing with the mysterious person from the Ascension Sect.


    He had the same feeling this time round.


    Even though his cultivation level had improved, facing the vast spiritual power of the Golden Core cultivator, he still felt a sense of unstoppable power.


    ¡°Master, are we going to war?¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan also hurriedly rushed up from the bottom of the mountain. With looks of panic on their faces, they had nearly the same thoughts as Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Wen Bo and Xuan, prepare yourselves. If the Divine Wood Sect goes to war with another sect, Ming will stay at Xiao Nanshan. You two will come with me into battle.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was reluctant to fight, he has, over the years, come to see himself as a part of the Divine Wood Sect and had long since made up his mind about what he would do in such a situation.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t hesitate at all. As cultivators born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, they saw this kind of situation as a matter of course.


    On the other hand, Zhuo Ming looked a bit hesitant. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to volunteer, but at this moment, Chen Mobai had already mounted his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and left Xiao Nanshan, heading for Reward Virtue Hall.


    After all, he was currently part of the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s organization. Plus, why would Elder Zhou suddenly leave the sect in what seemed like a fit of rage?


    As the next sect leader, Chu Zuoshu certainly knew about these matters.


    ¡°They are here.¡±


    Unexpectedly, when Chen Mobai arrived, most of the people he recognized from the Reward Virtue Hall were already there. Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang greeted him, and Chen Mobai joined them.


    Chu Zuoshu sat calmly in his own seat, nodding in acknowledgment as he saw Chen Mobai enter.


    On his left and right, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman, who were strangers to him.


    Through Yue Zutao¡¯s voice transmission introduction, Chen Mobai found out that these were the Vice Hall Masters of the Reward Virtue Hall, Luo Xue¡¯er, and the Inspector, Fu Huakun.


    Luo Xue¡¯er was from the Shenmu Hall, and Fu Huakun was from the Penalty Evil Hall, both were late stages of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Sometime later, six more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived.


    One of them was Shan Hongyi, who Chen Mobai knew. They exchanged greetings through eye contact.


    ¡°Jiang Shougang and Xu Gongming are not in the sect and He Ruping is in closed-door cultivation, so we don¡¯t need to wait for them.¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu spoke up.


    There were twelve Inspection Envoys of the Foundation Building Realm in the Reward Virtue Hall, and Chen Mobai, Yue Zutao, and Sun Gaochang were among them.


    Some of these inspection envoys also belonged to the factions of the vice hall masters and inspectors.


    If it weren¡¯t for the grand spiritual sense of Elder Zhou coming out of seclusion that startled them, even Chu Zuoshu might not have been able to summon them all so easily on a normal day.


    ¡°Our elder has gone to fight Ji Zhenshi, we should also prepare, we may have to go to war with Shake Mountain.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s speech was very straightforward, getting right to the point.


    Luo Xue¡¯er and Fu Huakun, who were next to him, seemed to have known this in advance, and their expressions were serious.


    ¡°I will ask for the leader¡¯s permission to lead a team to Lei Nation. You will be in charge of the things in the hall, and Inspector Fu will accompany me.¡±


    The three of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and as Chu Zuoshu gave his orders, Fu Huakun, who usually liked to argue a bit, immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°You two arrange the following matters, Inspector Yue and Inspector Chen will accompany me to the Shenmu Hall.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu waved his sleeve and rose from his seat. Yue Zutao immediately pulled Chen Mobai, and it took him a moment to realize that he was the ¡°Inspector Chen¡± being referred to.


    On the way, Chen Mobai finally learned what had happened.


    It turned out that today, the soul lantern of Luo Shupin, the town guard of Lei Nation stationed inside the Shenmu Sect, had shattered. This signified that he had been killed.


    Moreover, the soul lanterns of Yuan Chiye and Fu Xingzhou had started to dim, indicating that their divine senses had suffered serious damage and were in a very dangerous situation.


    For this reason, Fu Huakun was eager to go to war, because Fu Xingzhou was his grandnephew.


    The soul lanterns of the Shenmu Sect corresponded to the nameplates of the sect. The sect could sense the general situation and location of its disciples through this.


    ¡°Both of them have already fled from Lei Nation, but they did not come to Giant Tree Ridge. One entered the territory of Shake Mountain in Rock Country, and the other ran to Snow-blowing Palace in Frost Country.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Cang Qi of the Witchcraft division opened his eyes, put down the soul lanterns of the two in his hands, and asked with a pale face.


    ¡°It seems that Shake Mountain really wants to go to war.¡±


    The always kind Meng Hong had a cold face at this time. In the hall, Chen Mobai had just arrived with Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°You are about to reach the Core Formation. I will go this time.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took the initiative to speak up, showing great responsibility. Among the Shenmu Sect, besides the two elders, he and Meng Hong had the highest cultivation level. They would have the most confidence if they took action.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Elder Fu is not here, otherwise the two elders would join hands. Ji Zhenshi would not die, but he would have to lose a layer of skin¡±


    The other Core Formation elder of the sect had been stationed at Yunmeng Ze Windy Rain Dock for the past ten years. Now only Zhou Shengqing could take action.


    Ji Zhenshi was the Core Formation elder of Shake Mountain.


    Although he was only in the middle stage of Core Formation, he was a body cultivator. His cultivation of the Void Law Body combined with Shake Mountain Fist made him almost invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.

    When Zhou Shengqing was still in the Five Elements Sect, he had fought Ji Zhenshi three times. He could only trap Ji Zhenshi with the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and could not kill him.


    However, without the threat of the Core Formation, the two who were perfect in the Foundation Establishment, Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong, were not afraid of anyone from Shake Mountain.


    As the Sect Leader could not act lightly, and Meng Hong was preparing for Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu was the most suitable person to lead the team to this battle.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin might take action, you still have to be careful.¡±


    Shake Mountain also had a Body Cultivator whose cultivation was perfect at the Foundation Establishment stage. He was the offspring of Ji Zhenshi¡¯s family. Although he no longer has the chance to reach Core Formation, it was his very reason for being feared by others.

 Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Chapter 307: Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_1

    Chapter 415: Chapter 307: Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_1


    ¡°We are old opponents, after all. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses. Fast-acting is the key to warfare. I will lead the people from the Reward Virtue Hall first, and then you will assemble the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators within our sect to launch towards the Lei Nation border. We might even have to charge into the territory of the Rock Country and have a fierce showdown with the folk of Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu laughed confidently and then began to lead Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai back to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    [I initially wanted you to focus on your cultivation, wait until you perfected your skills, and then surprise the entire Eastern Wilderness.]


    The voice of the Sect Leader Meng Hong came sighing with sensation in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears just as they were about to leave.


    [The timing couldn¡¯t be more perfect!]


    Chen Mobai just smiled back at Meng Hong, turned around, and left the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°A true temperament of a Sword Cultivator indeed!¡±


    Cang Qi, standing on a side, commented with a sigh. He seemed to have overheard the conversation between the two.


    ¡°Publish my order, highest priority, summon all the sect¡¯s cultivators!¡±


    Watching the trio from Reward Virtue Hall leave, Meng Hong said word by word to Lu Yi from the Transmission Department.


    ¡°Your orders!¡±


    In no time, an order from the Sect Leader was issued from the Divine Wood Hall, calling upon all the cultivators who were not in deep seclusion.


    In just the duration of a single incense stick burning, dozens of strands of spiritual light descended from the sky, coming over in response.


    By half a day later, all the three Hall¡¯s and twelve Departments had started full-scale mobilisation.


    After being prepared for three days, Xie Yuntian, the head of the Sword Training Department, led a thousand Qi Practitioners on twelve large Magic Boats, setting off to the Lei Nation in great battle array.


    This movement from Divine Wood Sect could not escape the notice of other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In a while, numerous Message Talismans were sent out from the Giant Tree Ridge using various methods.


    ¡­


    The Shake Mountain Peak, one of the Seven Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, while having an inheritance of thousands of years, was simply a common first-rate sect quite a while ago.


    Before Ji Zhenshi reached Core Formation, the most prosperous time for Shake Mountain Peak was when they had four Foundation Establishments.


    Within the Rock Country, there were also some Immortal Cultivation families and sects whose strength was not inferior to Shake Mountain Peak, the Ji family was one of them.


    The turning point came three hundred years ago.


    The Ji family found a Void Dark Stone Vein. The location was at the border between their family and the Shake Mountain Peak.


    At that time, the Foundation Establishment elder from the Ji family was a visionary. Knowing that they could not hide this from Shake Mountain Peak, he went to the door himself and talked with the four Foundation Establishments of Shake Mountain Peak openly revealing this matter.


    Afterwards, the entire Ji family was incorporated into Shake Mountain Peak.


    Ji Zhenshi was the most promising genius of the Ji family at that time. He was taken in as a disciple by the Sect Leader of Shake Mountain Peak, with the resources from his sect and family, he successfully reached Foundation Establishment and began to gradually emerge.


    In the next hundred years, he cultivated to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and then used the mined Void Dark Stone Veins to exchange for Gold Core Spiritual Materials in regions outside the Eastern Wilderness.


    Ji Zhenshi was also a prodigious genius, he succeeded in forming his core on his first attempt.


    And then, he gradually developed and strengthened Shake Mountain Peak, he suppressed and acquired the remainder of the Immortal Cultivation families and small sects within Rock Country, becoming a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    And even fifty years ago, taking advantage of the internal strife and splitting of the Five Elements Sect, he occupied the Sky Country connected to Rock Country, a territory formerly under the power of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi swallowing his own family to encompass the whole Shake Mountain Peak, he is truly a ruthless and ambitious man. But the current setup is being completely supported by him alone, the moment he dies, everything will fall apart.¡±


    On the Magic Boat, Chen Mobai was asking Yue Zutao for insights on Shake Mountain Peak, this force.


    After consuming the Tree Fruit for eternal life, his cultivation level was locked. Apart from various miscellaneous knowledge, he had also spent time deeply studying about the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness. He eloquently recounted the history of the rise of Shake Mountain and Ji Zhenshi.


    On this Magic Boat, there were in total eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all from their Reward Virtue Hall.


    Apart from Chu Zuoshu being the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, there was also Fu Huakun, the supervisor.


    The rest were six Inspection Envoys. Among them was a familiar face to Chen Mobai, Shan Hongyi. He and Yue Zutao were the only ones in mid Foundation Establishment.


    Before leaving, Chu Zuoshu, as the manager of the sect treasury from the Reward Virtue Hall, had taken a lot of good stuff from the Meritorious Hall Treasury and let Luo Xueer, the Vice Hall Master, handle the procedures.


    Among them was a set of Azure Light Formation, an intermediate grade Rank-3 Formation Method, requiring eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators to operate together. It contained three layers of transformation and when combined with the Array Flag and Array Plate could exert complete power. It might even be able to resist Gold Core Cultivators for a short period of time.


    The Array Flag of this Formation Method, when combined with Tree Seeds, was even more powerful. As Chu Zuoshu was the Hall Master in charge of the sect treasury, when he took the Formation Method, he naturally wouldn¡¯t forget about the Tree Seed.


    He not only took a Rank-3 Gold Sun Tree Species for himself but also gave each of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying him a Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed.


    When they set off, seeing the Green Sun Tree Seed in his hand, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional.

    He had been considering how he might get Yue Zutao to snag one for him in the future, but he hadn¡¯t expected to get hold of one this easily.


    Although it was officially distributed by the sect as supplies for a magic duel, it had to be returned after the war ended. But at least for now, it belongs to them.


    With the Tree Seed in their hands, those who travelled with Chu Zuoshu were more motivated. They were exceptionally active while practicing the Azure Light Formation.


    While the group of people were resting on the Magic Boat after practicing the Formation, they formed two circles.


    ¡°The forces of Shake Mountain Peak alone will not be able to withstand our Divine Wood Sect. Is it possible that the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness will assist Ji Zhenshi directly or indirectly?¡±

 Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: Chapter 307: The Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_2

    Chapter 416: Chapter 307: The Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_2


    Chen Mobai voiced his concerns, and Yue Zutao nodded, outlining the key issue.


    ¡°In the past, when the Five Elements Sect was dominating, Back to Sky Valley, Mountain Shaker Peak, Snow-blowing Palace, and Liu Jia Mountain banded together for survival. The Gold Core ancestors of these four families can be regarded as friends who have braved life and death together.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying our Divine Wood Sect may possibly face the four largest sects in the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the worst-case scenario. However, Back to Sky Valley has always remained neutral, backed by the large business association Star Heaven, and is solely interested in making Spirit Stones, so they basically won¡¯t involve themselves in such matters. If we are only dealing with three sects, joining hands with Golden Cliff, we should be able to withstand them.¡±


    In other words, the Divine Wood Sect had already prepared psychologically for a major battle against the other three sects.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh at how common battles have become in the Tianhe Realm.


    The cultivators here, right from their early days of Qi Cultivation, seem imbued with the idea that only by fighting can they progress to the next level.


    The shortest route from Jian Country to Lei Nation passes through Yun Country and Snow Country, naturally crossing Snow Country.


    However, that is the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace, and with the possibility of the three sects joining hands, Chu Zuoshu would naturally not walk into the trap. He detoured through Yun Country and then went to Lei Nation.


    Fortunately, they had the magic boat for the journey, and they also needed time to familiarize themselves with the Azure Light Formation. Only after five days and five nights did they finally arrive in Lei Nation.


    The first stop in Lei Nation, and the frontline of the battle with Mountain Shaker Peak, was the location of the Spirit Stone Mine.


    Phoenix Wave State, Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    The Foundation Establishment elders of the four major cultivating families in Lei Nation led hundreds of Qi Practitioners in respectfully welcoming the magic boat of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Eight streams of spiritual light descended from the sky, and Chu Zuoshu and his seven companions alighted onto the open ground.


    ¡°I, Lian Chenghai, pay my respects to Hall Master Chu. I did not expect you to personally come here. Your presence truly graces our humble Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    A tall and upright male cultivator with wide cheeks, big ears and a purple-colored face stepped forward.


    It seemed that he knew Chu Zuoshu as he came forward with the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators to greet him.


    ¡°Two town guards from our Divine Wood Sect were murdered in your Lei Nation, and two patrol members disappeared here. If you can¡¯t give me a satisfactory answer, I fear there might have to be a change in the immortal cultivation families of Lei Nation.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu calmly stated something that caused all the Lei Nation cultivators present to turn pale.


    No one doubted the truth in his words, knowing that the Divine Wood Sect could indeed make it happen.


    ¡°Bring them forward!¡±


    Lian Chenghai immediately signaled to the family¡¯s cultivators behind him, who then brought ahead several dozens of captives.


    ¡°After receiving the news, we led people to surround the Gong family and Zheng family, intending to rescue the members of your sect. However, the old devil from the Gong family and Zheng Wulyu had already fled Lei Country with a group of people via the Teleportation Array. Still, we managed to capture thirty-six cultivators from both families who had blood relations, along with the Spirit Stones and treasures they didn¡¯t manage to take.¡±


    While speaking, Lian Chenghai took out a large storage bag and presented it in front of Chu Zuoshu, who nodded. Yue Zutao on his side immediately stepped forward to accept it.


    ¡°These thirty-six people can first be kept to mine. If we start a war with Mountain Shaker Peak, they can atone for their crimes.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu announced the fate of these people from the Gong and Zheng families. He did not choose to exterminate them directly but opted for a more ruthless path.


    ¡°Yes, we will have our family members personally guard them.¡±


    While speaking, Lian Chenghai began to introduce the three Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him.


    They were the supreme emperors of the other three major families in Lei Nation. These venerable ancestors, who wielded great authority within their families in the past, now dared not make a peep in front of the eight people from the Divine Wood Sect, remaining obsequious.


    Chu Zuoshu: ¡°How did my fellow disciples Fu and Yuan go missing?¡±


    Lian Chenghai: ¡°The two immortal masters from your sect infiltrated the Gong family and found the missing Luo Town Defender. But they were discovered by the old devil from the Gong family. He decisively killed Luo Town Defender and then joined forces with Zheng Wulyu and others to chase down Masters Fu and Yuan. Upon receiving a message from your sect, we, the four families, immediately led our family¡¯s cultivators to surround the two families. But we were one step too late, and the core cultivators of the two families managed to escape via the Teleportation Array.¡±


    While speaking of this, Lian Chenghai appeared ashamed.


    However, without the actions of their four families, Fu Xingzhou, and Yuan Chiye wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape so easily. All in all, they had done what needed to be done.


    ¡°A hundred miles past this Rolling Thunder Mountain, it falls into the territory of the Rock Country right?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu stood at the highest point of Rolling Thunder Mountain, looking towards the rugged hills not far away, and spoke.


    ¡°Correct. When the Spirit Stone Mine was discovered here before, Shake Mountain wanted to muscle in, but was repelled by your Sect¡¯s Elder Zhou.¡±


    ¡°How large is this Spirit Stone Mine?¡±


    ¡°Approximately one hundred lower-grade raw Spirit Stones can be dug out each day. According to an investigation by your Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Department, mining should last around sixty years.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who heard this on the side, calculated silently in his heart. That meant this small Spirit Stone Mine was worth two to three million Spirit Stones.


    In this case, it was indeed possible to arouse the covetousness of Shake Mountain.


    However, mining a Spirit Stone Mine is tedious. After all, the number of cultivators is limited, and having them mine would also delay their cultivations.


    Typically, one sends a team to be stationed, and then have physically strong mortals labor. These are good at by the local immortal cultivation families. They are basically local tyrants, able to summon tens of thousands of mortals at a command.


    For this reason, although the Lei Nation is the territory of the Divine Wood Sect, they could monopolize this Spirit Stone Mine with their military force. But they still have given six-tenths of the profits to the six major families of cultivators locally.


    After all, this Spirit Stone Mine¡¯s total output per year is only around thirty-six thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, it¡¯s simply not worth mobilizing forces for such a small profit.


    However, for local Cultivator families, over three thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones per year is a huge fortune.


    For them, mortals can be dismissed with food and copper money, a deal that promises a great return without any capital.


    But there are some who are never satisfied.


    The Gong family and Zheng family are examples of this. Especially the old ancestor Gong Wanshan of Gong family who is at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. Always comparing himself to Ji Zhenshi, he also aspires to reach Core Formation.


    The Spirit Stone Mine was originally discovered by him, but once this thing is mined on a large scale, the leakage of Spiritual Energy will cause a rain of Spiritual Energy and it¡¯ll be hard to hide.


    Lian Chenghai is also at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. After discovering this, the six major families of Lei Nation first had a good internal fight, but nobody wanted to suffer losses. Gong Wanshan even teamed up with his in-law¡¯s family, the Zheng family, asking for half of the profits.


    Nobody was willing to submit to anyone. Since Lian Chenghai couldn¡¯t beat Gong Wanshan, in a fit of anger, he turned to Luo Shupin.


    After the Divine Wood Sect entered the battlefield, Gong Wanshan was still unwilling to give up, he even went so far as to reveal this matter to the Town Guard of Shake Mountain next door.


    Unfortunately, Sect Elder Zhou Wangshen was a formidable Cultivator and nobody could get the better of him. In the end, Shake Mountain retreated, and the Gong family could only endure.


    However, the development of events ultimately went beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    The Gong family and Zheng family resented the Divine Wood Sect for this matter and completely shifted their loyalty to Shake Mountain.


    It seemed that Shake Mountain wasn¡¯t prepared for this either.


    Seven days after Chen Mobai and others arrived at Rolling Thunder Mountain, only then, in the sky of the Rock Country, did five or six Shake Mountain cultivators in golden robes and two Foundation Establishment cultivators in brown brocade clothes fly over.


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu, come out and see me!¡±


    The lead cultivator from Shake Mountain had white hair but held an aura of authority around him. His high nose made him dignified; he had two black Iron Gall nuts were rotating constantly in his palm. After his arrival, he stood in mid-air, his words resounding like thunder, echoing across the entire mountain peak.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin, you¡¯re still not dead yet.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chu Zuoshu also took seven cultivators of the Reward Virtue Hall and flew out of Rolling Thunder Mountain straight at the group of people from Shake Mountain.


    ¡°I have protected the Gong family and Zheng family. Hand over the cultivators of their families, and we¡¯ll call it quits. We Shake Mountain won¡¯t compete with your Divine Wood Sect for this Spirit Stone Mine.¡±


    Ji Dingjin seemed uninterested in arguing with Chu Zuoshu. He pointed to the two cultivators beside him, presumably Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu.


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, ran a hand over his own mustache, and with a smile uttered a sentence that prompted an uncontrollable outburst from the other side.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s awkward, because I wish you were dead.¡±

 Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 308: Bead that Breaks Meridians_1

    Chapter 417: Chapter 308: Bead that Breaks Meridians_1


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Ji Dingjin was a fiery character in his youth, but as he aged, he considerably mellowed down. However, constant verbal provocations from Chu Zuoshu pushed him past his limits.


    From the palm of his right hand, two Iron Gall sparkled with brilliant sparks. In an instant, a flash of lightning erupted, striking at Chu Zuoshu¡¯s head.


    However, as the heir apparent of the Divine Wood Sect, Chu Zuoshu was heralded as a cultivator on the verge of the Core Formation Realm.


    Without panic, he simply adjusted the jade crown on his head, and a crystal clear spiritual light surged outwards, transforming into distinct, lushly green leaves.


    It was the signature ¡°Spirit Leaves Technique¡± of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The Iron Gall Thunderbolts fell on the leaves, causing a slight ripple before dissipating into nothingness.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    However, Ji Dingjin, the oldest Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, had sparred with the monks of the Divine Wood Sect many times, losing count himself. Therefore, he had already developed a countermeasure to the Spirit Leaves Technique.


    With a cold snort, he immediately threw one of the Iron Gall from his hand, the sound akin to wind thunder, scattering sparks and lightning along the way.


    As expected.


    When the Iron Gall fell, the originally distinct leaves started to blur, finally disappearing with a ¡°pop¡±.


    Chu Zuoshu saw that this was a golden magical artifact, the nemesis to his cultivation technique, furrowed his brows, and activated a blazing red talisman.


    In an instant, the fire transformed into a dragon and snake, but Ji Dingjin summoned back his Iron Gall at this moment, causing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s powerful talisman to miss its target.


    However, Chu Zuoshu was not one to fall behind; he immediately sent the fire-like dragon and snake charging at the monk from the Shake Mountain who stood beside Ji Dingjin. The latter cursed but had no choice but to block the talisman.


    Attaining full Foundation Establishment was tantamount to entering the Fake Core Realm. If Ji Dingjin refused to step in, even if the group beside him could defend, they would be greatly damaged.


    ¡°Your artifact is not bad. I initially thought that you are old and had just taken up such playthings, but it seems it is specially made to deal with me,¡± Chu Zuoshu, looking at the two Iron Gall in Ji Dingjin¡¯s hand, which turned red due to the fire dragon and snake, touched his mustache and chuckled.


    ¡°Stop flattering yourself. It seems you are itching for a beating.¡±


    Ji Dingjin was also fired up. He put the two Iron Gall in his storage bag, then wore a black arm guard and boxing gloves. His vigour exploded, and his already large physique expanded even further, like a giant.


    ¡°Set up the array!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chu Zuoshu instantly shouted and took out a silver array plate shaped like an octagon.


    Chen Mobai and the other six were already waiting for this command. In an instant, they set up their array flags and moved their feet to set around Chu Zuoshu, forming the well-practiced Azure Light Formation.


    The void started to fluctuate, clouds and mist formed and expanded, conjuring up eight gateways. Hundreds of azure lights flickered within them.


    With Chu Zuoshu¡¯s control over the array plate, the hundreds of azure lights turned into flying swords, blanketing the sky as they lunged at the monks from Shake Mountain.


    Amidst the buzzing sound.


    Having lost the initiative, Ji Dingjin roared furiously, took out a human-sized brass shield, and positioned himself at the forefront. Simultaneously, he shouted at the monks behind him, ¡°Set up the array.¡±


    Seeing the five Foundation Establishment monks from Shake Mountain, along with Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wuxie, siding with Ji Dingjin who shielded them, the eight Foundation Establishment monks also set up the ¡°Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array¡±.


    Under the traction of the array and the divine sense control of the Foundation Establishment monks, nature¡¯s spiritual energy transformed into a giant rolling stone phantom, akin to a meteorite, barreling towards the cloud gates on the opposing side.


    However, amidst the ever-changing eight gates, azure lights that shot out like flying swords continually swerved, not only resisting the impact of the rolling stones but also enabling Chu Zuoshu to control another cloud gate to sidestep and shoot azure light at the monks from Shake Mountain.


    However, the ¡°Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array¡± was both offensive and defensive.


    The vast yellow sands rolled in and instantly dissolved the azure light that had entered into the earthly spiritual energy.


    ¡°Lian Chenghai, when are you going to act?¡±


    Seeing both sides locked in a stalemate in mid-air, Chu Zuoshu immediately yelled at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This Spirit Stone mine was a joint venture between the Divine Wood Sect and six immortal cultivation families; and a Rank-3 Large Array, different from the Azure Light Formation, had also been set up. Since it was connected to the spiritual energy of the earth¡¯s veins, its power exceeded the former by far.


    Just as Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, golden rays appeared below on the mountaintop, condensing in the sky above into a giant golden knife phantom. Seeing that it was about to slash at the yellow sand around the Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array, Ji Dingjin surprisingly led his people to retreat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu, just you wait.¡±


    Leaving behind a harsh remark, the monks of Shake Mountain, like a yellow cloud, chased after the Azure Light Formation¡¯s flying swords, retreating towards Rock Country without looking back.


    Chu Zuoshu led Chen Mobai and the others to chase after them for a while, stopping only when they were about to cross the border of Lei Nation and return victoriously.


    ¡°Hahaha, Ji Dingjin, that old guy was always relying on being one realm higher than me and being senior to me. Seeing him get beaten up today is truly satisfying.¡±


    After returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s initially stiff expression finally couldn¡¯t hold back and erupted into hearty laughter.

 Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Chapter 308 Bead that Breaks Meridians_2

    Chapter 418: Chapter 308 Bead that Breaks Meridians_2


    At his laughter, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation who were originally worried also let go of their concerns.


    At least, they don¡¯t have to worry about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°The battle with Mountain Shaker Peak is inevitable. This is also an opportunity for your four major clans to redeem yourselves through meritorious deeds. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance.¡±


    After laughing, Chu Zuoshu began to tap into the cultivation families of Lei Nation again.


    ¡°Yes, please rest assured, Elder Chu. As part of the Divine Wood Sect, we have always followed the sect¡¯s commands with absolute respect over the past decades and will not fear the battle.¡±


    Lian Chenghai spoke on behalf of the four major clans.


    ¡°Hmm, prepare some rooms for us. Later the four of you will come together to discuss how to defend against Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s attack.¡±


    At Chu Zuoshu¡¯s command, Lian Chenghai naturally carried it out at the earliest opportunity.


    Even though the scenery of Rolling Thunder Mountain was not particularly spectacular, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the spiritual energy gathered underground for millions of years surged upwards, forming an almost Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a few short years.


    It should be known that among the six cultivation families in the entire Lei Nation, the highest spirit vein level in their Spiritual Land is only Rank-3 Top Quality.


    This was also why, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the Foundation Establishment practitioners of Lei Nation all stationed themselves at Rolling Thunder Mountain for a long period under the pretext of guarding the Spirit Stones.


    Their clan ancestors naturally all had their own dwellings, but now they had all been given to the members of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Lian Chenghai was the first to offer his cave dwelling, and Chu Zuoshu had no qualms about accepting.


    However, there were eight people from the Divine Wood Sect this time, and there weren¡¯t enough rooms.


    But the cultivators of Tianhe Realm were all accustomed to living in the open air, which they didn¡¯t mind. They each found a spot rich in spiritual energy, set out a meditation mat, and just sat on it.


    ¡°Because it¡¯s expected that we will be later than Mountain Shaker Peak which is directly mobilizing troops from Rock Country, we have to rely on the advantages of the formations and geographical features of Rolling Thunder Mountain to resist for a while before our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army arrives.¡±


    After the first victory, Chu Zuoshu, as the commander, analyzed the situation very calmly.


    Inside the room, apart from the eight people from the Divine Wood Sect, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation were present as well.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain, the Earth Gold Knife Array, was constructed by a member of your sect¡¯s formation division. It holds the dual attributes of earth and gold and has already connected with the local spirit veins. If Ji Zhenshi does not take action, it should be able to hold out for a while.¡±


    Lian Chenghai immediately offered up a square Array Plate, which was the core of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Formation.


    Chu Zuoshu nodded, but let Fu Huakun beside him take it. He had to control the Azure Light Formation and might even have to engage Ji Dingjin in battle from time to time. If he had to handle the Earth Gold Knife Array as well, it would be too much.


    ¡°We need to consider the possibility that Mountain Shaker Peak has a Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    After taking over the Array Plate of the Earth Gold Knife Array, Fu Huakun brought up a point.


    The Bead that Breaks Meridians is a magic artifact in the Tianhe Realm specifically used to destroy spirit veins. It is formed by the condensation of the ancient and toxic gas extracted from the earth veins. Once triggered, it can quickly penetrate into the earth veins along the connection with the formation and disrupt the spiritual mechanisms of the earth veins within a radius of a hundred miles.


    ¡°The Bead that Breaks Meridians is invaluable. When our Divine Wood Sect separated from the Five Elements Sect, we only obtained three such beads. I don¡¯t believe that Mountain Shaker Peak would have any.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, uncertain whether it was true confidence or if he was trying to instill confidence into the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation.


    However, at his words, the four people from Lei Nation looked at each other, feeling exposed. Their mountain protection formations, which took more than a hundred years to construct, were even more formidable than the Earth Gold Knife Array and were their greatest reliance.


    Upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect actually had three Beads that Breaks Meridians, they instantly felt disquieted.


    They felt as if their family was naked in front of the Divine Wood Sect, leading to a chill down their spines.


    Immediately, their attitudes became even more respectful.


    ¡°Each of your clans will provide 100 Qi practitioners. I don¡¯t care if these practitioners are hired from loose cultivators or if you have to reveal your cards to your subordinate clans. Within three days, I want to see at least 400 cultivators.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu started to assign tasks. Upon hearing this, Lian Chenghai and the others looked bitter, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.


    It should be known that although the four major clans were practically imperial rulers in Lei Nation, even the largest clan, the Lian family, had in total only a little over 200 cultivators between old and young.


    As for the smallest clan, the Bao family, they barely numbered above 100 cultivators.


    Now, Chu Zuoshu had straightforwardly assigned a hundred Qi practitioners to each family, almost draining their power by half.


    However, under the eave, and considering the Divine Wood Sect still held the Bead that Breaks Meridians, a powerful weapon, the four of them pledged that within three days, Qi practitioners who would satisfy Chu Zuoshu¡¯s requirements would arrive at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    After all, Chu Zuoshu had made it quite clear.


    It only mattered if there were enough people, not whether they were part of their clans or not.


    If they had known this earlier, the Gong family and the Zheng family wouldn¡¯t have handed them over, and spread the load evenly, then they could substitute the places of nine people.


    ¡°Senior brother, how come I didn¡¯t know there are three Beads that Break Meridians within the sect?¡±


    After Lian Chenghai and the others had left, Fu Huakun asked somewhat doubtfully.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t said so, how could the four of them agree so easily to dispatch cultivators from Lei Nation to come over.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu spoke plainly when faced with his own people,


    Everyone respectfully nodded in approval.


    ¡°We still need to consider the possibility of Mountain Shaker Peak having a Bead that Breaks Meridians. Before Ji Zhenshi¡¯s Core Formation, he used Void Stones in the Eastern Wilderness to exchange for many goods, perhaps he has one.¡±


    Even after digesting this, Fu Huakun was still slightly concerned.


    ¡°The Spirit Vein Level of Rolling Thunder Mountain is nearing Rank-4, meaning Mountain Shaker Peak would require a Rank-4 Bead that Breaks Meridians to completely rupture the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array. The Five Elements Sect only has two such items, I find it hard to believe Ji Zhenshi would waste resources to acquire such things.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, but now, even if the enemy truly had one, they could only let it be.


    Considering that the opponent would automatically destroy and contaminate the spirit veins once it¡¯s thrown into the formation, there is almost no solution.


    ¡°Hall Master, we should still consider this possibility. If the spirit veins of Rolling Thunder Mountain were to be polluted, we could manually disconnect the formation from the earth¡¯s veins, and use spirit stones as the power source for the formation. After all, what¡¯s most plentiful here are spirit stones.¡±


    At this moment, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s disciple, Yue Zutao, stepped forward to advise. The latter often took advice to heart, and after thoughtful consideration, found it sensible, hence he had Fu Huakun practice the plan of cutting off the earth¡¯s veins with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array¡¯s Array Plate.


    ¡°If we really run out of spirit stones and Mountain Shaker Peak breaks through Rolling Thunder Mountain, we also need to be prepared to retreat.¡±


    Yue Zutao spoke again. He had locked his cultivation level all these years which gave him ample time to dabble in various fields of study. On top of that, he was primarily trained to be the next head in the Reward Virtue Hall, hence he was excellent in both literary and military strategies.


    ¡°Hmm, once those Qi practitioners arrive, we can practice the battle array. If anything goes wrong, we can also use these people as cannon fodder to cover for our retreat.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu nodded, and then everyone discussed responses for all kinds of situations.


    Listening to the conversation from the side, Chen Mobai was intrigued and taken aback.


    Finally, he was about to witness a large-scale war among the cultivators of Tianhe Realm.


    He wondered how many people would die this time.


    The three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    On Rolling Thunder Mountain, various makeshift camps have been fully established. More than four hundred cultivators gathered together, they even created a simple Fang Market.


    Chen Mobai inquired about it and found out that less than a hundred cultivators from the four great families have arrived here. The majority were Loose Cultivators and Guest Elders, but once they climbed up Rolling Thunder Mountain, they could receive 2 spirit stones from the four families each day.


    For high-level cultivators, such as those in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, it would be even more.


    This sight reminded Chen Mobai of the scene when the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster attacked the island, he too had accepted the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recruitment then.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He wondered how the sibling disciples of the small sect he was with at that time were doing now?


    He heard from E Yun that Green Light Island had been rebuilt, but it was not overseen by Senior Brother Zheng Deming, but instead, the latter reportedly went to Fengyu Pavilion with Elder Fu.


    ¡°They are here!¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai was practicing a battle array with Yue Zutao, when Chu Zuoshu suddenly flew into mid-air and shouted to everyone.


    All they could see were flying boats from Rock Country transporting hundreds of cultivators, coming towards Rolling Thunder Mountain in a grand manner.

 Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_1

    Chapter 419: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was activated and he looked up.


    He saw a total of twenty flying boats heading from Shake Mountain Peak. The leaders on the first eight flying boats were all cultivators dressed uniformly in golden robes, all of them from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    As for the rest of the twelve flying boats, some were orderly and some were in complete disarray, they must be cultivator clans from within Rock Country and loose cultivators they recruited.


    When cultivators wage war, especially top sects like Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak in the Eastern Wilderness, they naturally mobilize all usable resources.


    Chu Zuoshu, for example, was able to mobilize the Lei Nation¡¯s four major clans and gathered a force of four to five hundred people in a short time.


    The opposite side, Rock Country, is the base of Shake Mountain Peak, which has been operated for hundreds of years and is solid as iron.


    Even without Ji Zhenshi taking action, it managed to quickly gather the cultivator clans nearby and the other big sects, along with the hired loose cultivators, they managed to gather over a thousand cultivators, making a grand march towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This time, Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t engage in any unnecessary speeches.


    Each of the twenty flying boats was adorned with an Array Flag, forming a massive battle array, appearing like dark, endless clouds, advancing in a formidable manner.


    ¡°Gentlemen, the main forces of my Divine Wood Sect have already reached the borders of Yun Country and Lei Country. If we hold out for three more days, support will arrive.¡±


    ¡°If we win this battle, I can assure each of your four families a place to purchase a Foundation Building Pill. Whenever you need it, as long as the Divine Wood Sect has them, we will supply.¡±


    ¡°If one of you should perish, I guarantee in the name of the Divine Wood Sect, we will compensate your family with a Foundation Building Pill and ensure its safe consumption.¡±


    ¡°Also, tell the cultivators, whoever beheads an enemy cultivator will receive corresponding rewards of Spirit Stones and medicine. The expenses will be covered by our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Prior to the battle, Chu Zuoshu made promises to the four Lei Nation families.


    The initially reluctant foursome of Lian Chenghai immediately brightened up and stated their commitment to defending the honor of the Divine Wood Sect.


    One should know that even though the Divine Wood Sect produces a batch of Foundation Building Pills every decade, there is never enough for the disciples within the sect and there is rarely an external supply.


    For these cultivator families seeking Foundation Building Pills, they either need to exchange them with thousand-year-old medicinal herbs or use substantial amounts of Spirit Stones to bid for them during auctions.


    Alternatively, they can send their disciples with excellent Spiritual Root Talent to the Divine Wood Sect to become true disciples and obtain Foundation Building Pills.


    For instance, Lian Maozhi, who had distinguished himself during last year¡¯s sect competition, was a nephew of Lian Chenghai.


    Those exceptional individuals from cultivator families, who join the sect, naturally progress faster than ordinary disciples.


    Not only do they have abundant resources, but they also have outcompeted others within their families.


    But as a result, the cultivator families are sending their best bloodlines into the sect, making the sect stronger over time.


    After all, cultivators tend to prioritize themselves, and even those from families who have succeeded in Foundation Establishment usually won¡¯t return to their families after being protected by the big tree that is the Divine Wood Sect. They end up being confined to a corner.


    Because in the Eastern Wilderness, the families of cultivators only have cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage at most.


    But within the Divine Wood Sect, there¡¯s a chance of Core Formation.


    However, clear as they were about this, all the major cultivator families are still willing to send their outstanding disciples into those big sects.


    Not only because they don¡¯t have a steady supply of Foundation Building Pills, but also because it would be a major boon for their families if someone successfully establishes their foundation within a sect.


    Who¡¯s to say they can¡¯t follow in Ji Zhenshi¡¯s footsteps, swallowing an entire sect just with the power of one family or one clan?


    Moreover, this wouldn¡¯t interfere with the future of those with talent in the family.


    For all the major cultivator clans, Foundation Building Pills are a sought-after rarity.


    Many disciples in Qi Cultivation Perfection from these families only attempt to establish their foundations forcefully without consuming a Foundation Building Pill before they reach the age of sixty.


    Over the past centuries, successful cases have been rarely seen, most of them ended up as giblets in their caves. This is a history written in blood and tears by the cultivator families.


    Now with Chu Zuoshu¡¯s such promise, not only did Lian Chenghai and other cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage breathe rapidly, but also those cultivators from families who were originally reluctant to come to Rolling Thunder Mountain to participate in the battle are now filled with excitement.


    While this Foundation Building Pill may not necessarily end up on their heads, what if it does?


    Seeing that everyone was getting excited about the upcoming battle, Chen Mobai gave Yue Zutao a thumbs up.


    Over the past few days, the two of them had been leading cultivators on Rolling Thunder Mountain in practicing their battle arrays, but they found that most people were not very enthusiastic. After inquiring, they naturally found out the reasons.

    Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that these people needed some reward as encouragement.


    With no experience in this matter, he could only consult Yue Zutao.


    Yue Zutao had a deep understanding of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯ cultivator clans and even loose cultivators. Cultivator clans are after Foundation Building Pills, whereas loose cultivators want Spirit Stones and medicines.


    The two of them mentioned this to Chu Zuoshu, who obviously agreed, and with a clap of his hands, he asked them to discuss the specifics of how many Spirit Stones and which pills should be rewarded for defeating cultivators of what ranks.


    As for the matter of Foundation Building Pills, he personally spoke to the four families of Lei Nation, because as the Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu represented the Divine Wood Sect here.

 Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_2

    Chapter 420: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_2


    Just as expected, once the hired Loose Cultivators below heard about this, their once slackened attitudes instantly changed.


    With solid morale, the Rank-3 large formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain displayed unprecedented formidable power.


    A gigantic golden knife, around ten meters tall appeared in mid air. Possessing a terrifying spiritual suppressive aura, it ferociously cleaved towards the twenty flying boats from Shake Mountain Peak that formed the yellow cloud battle array.


    Under the fierce eruption of dazzling spiritual light, the yellow clouds began to dispel, yet they constantly reformed like an endless sea of clouds.


    The Earth-Metal Golden Knife cut through eight yellow clouds consecutively, finally it ran out of spiritual power and dissipated in mid-air.


    In an instant, Fu Huakun, who controlled the Array Plate, commanded the twenty Qi practitioners who were holding Array Flags to furiously absorb earth vein spiritual energy, immediately causing two more giant golden knives to appear and condense in the air.


    However, at this time, on the twenty flying boats shone a stream of earth-yellow rays, transforming into giant rolling stones, plummeting towards the skies of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Amid the sound of clanging noises,


    The two newly formed Earth-Metal Golden Knots had a hard time shattering six giant stones, and subsequently their spiritual power was exhausted, causing them to dissipate.


    Fu Huakun¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but the seal of Array Plates in his hands started to shift. A fist-sized raw spirit stone by his side was sucked dry by the Array Plate in an instant. Following this, the formation evolved, and a grey light shield appeared, covering the whole of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This was the defensive changes of the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array, the Earth-Metal Armor!


    Boom!


    Giant stones with a diameter of ten meters fell, hitting the Earth-Metal Armour and caused a huge dull sound.


    The entirety of Rolling Thunder Mountain started to shake, some cultivators with faint hearts turned pale, believing the large formation was about to break.


    However, after the first round of twenty giant stones, twenty flying boats from Shake Mountain Peak came for two more rounds.


    In the final round, the Earth-Metal Armor finally couldn¡¯t withstand it. It was smashed open by a giant stone. Chu Zuoshu, who was on the mountain peak, immediately led two Foundation Establishment cultivators to block this giant stone.


    Despite this, two more giant stones smashed the defense and fell. Chen Mobai and the other foundation Establishment cultivators didn¡¯t hesitate at all. They casted all kinds of talismans and magic artifacts to protect the Qi practitioners from being wiped out by this large-scale lethal spell.


    Fortunately, after three rounds, it finally came to a halt.


    After dozens of giant stone bombardments, even though the earth-metal shield was distorted and twisted with several cracks, it still barely maintained its completeness.


    ¡°Quickly replace the one maintaining the formation, bring the spare Spirit Stones over.¡±


    After a round of probing hand to hand combat, Fu Huakun¡¯s face turned pale. Two of the four cultivators, who were holding Array Flags died, with blood flowing from all orifices.


    The remaining Array Masters, who were scattered around Rolling Thunder Mountain, had also depleted their spiritual power and divine senses.


    However, Lian Chenghai, who had come prepared, immediately commanded another group of cultivators knowledgeable in formations to take over the Array Flags of the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array. At the same time, the light of the flying boats in the sky from Shake Mountain Peak began to dim.


    This mode of attack was the limit for the flying boat artifacts after three rounds.


    But at least the Earth-Metal Armour was blasted open with three holes, allowing the cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak to enter Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    In the sky, Ji Dingjin had already put on a full set of Armor. His deep vision met Chu Zuoshu on the mountain peak through a hole in the Earth-Metal Armor. Raising his right hand, he coldly yelled a word.


    In an instant, twenty flying boats landed on Rolling Thunder Mountain, and twelve hundred Qi practitioners all descended towards the holes in the Earth-Metal Armor.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    At the same time, Chu Zuoshu on the mountain peak also spoke the same word. He then adjusted the Jade Crown on his head. A clear spiritual light enveloped a grey-green Tree Seed, which flew out and instantly turned into a lush Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    He flew in mid-air, standing tall under the Spirit Tree, single-handedly blocking a hole in the Earth-Metal Armor.


    The dozen or so unlucky Qi practitioners who landed there were instantly skewered into a gourd by the light spikes transformed by the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, spraying blood all over the side of the mountain.


    The commander naturally had to face a corresponding commander.


    Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t hesitate at all, directly charging at Chu Zuoshu, he swung his right fist, and a terrifying fist energy broke through the air, causing the gap in the already cracked Earth-Metal Armour to widen.


    But Chu Zuoshu¡¯s spiritual power surged, and the branches and leaves of the Qingyang Spirit Tree by his side became more luxuriant, solidly covering this gap.


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s Shake Mountain Punch came down, a piece of Lingye that the Qingyang¡¯s Spirit Tree stretched to block shattered, but immediately two, three pieces, a whole branch of Lingye flew out, transforming into a six-layer defense.


    Boom!


    But under the full force of Ji Dingjin¡¯s punch, this entire branch and leaf was broken and flew away. Chu Zuoshu¡¯s jade crown on his head trembled slightly, and his hair scattered somewhat.


    ¡°The old fellow is indeed a Body Cultivator; he¡¯s almost two hundred years old, but his punch is still powerful.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu felt it for a moment, then slightly shook his head. Next, he adjusted the jade crown on his head.


    Another clear spiritual light emerged, but this time it was cuddling a golden tree seed.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman was activated, a Golden Sun Spirit Tree with only trunk and sparse leaves rose from the ground, standing on the left and right of Chu Zuoshu along with the Qingyang Spirit Tree from before.


    Seeing this Golden Sun Spirit Tree, Ji Dingjin¡¯s expression became slightly serious.


    After the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s domain expansion, using flexibility to overcome strength, it was most restraining for him, a Body Cultivator.


    If it were not by the general attack of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, facing Chu Zuoshu who had two tree seeds opened, he might have to stake half his life to win.


    But on the battlefield, no matter how hard it is, Ji Dingjin, as the commander of Shake Mountain Peak, still had to set an example for all the cultivators from the Rock Country.


    He took a deep breath, and his whole body suddenly swelled a bit.


    The vigorous and vast Qi and blood made the leaves of the Qingyang Spirit Tree on the left of Chu Zuoshu a little withered.


    Chen Mobai saw the two commanders enter the peak state of going all out from the beginning. He and Yue Zutao also immediately took action to welcome the Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing in from the gap of the Earth-Metal Armour.


    This time Shake Mountain Peak mobilized all the families and sects on the frontier of Rock Country and added in their Sect¡¯s own Foundation Establishment cultivators coming to a total of twenty.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s revealed cultivation level was only at the early foundation stage, as soon as he flew up, a sword light immediately slashed towards him, seemingly wanting to pick on the weak.


    And two Foundation Establishment cultivators also surrounded Yue Zutao. They were acquaintances¡ª they were Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu who had defected from Lei Nation to their side.


    Among them, Gong Wanshan was at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and was hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in Lei Nation, his cultivation level was even above Yue Zutao¡¯s.


    But if it was a one-on-one, Yue Zutao wasn¡¯t too afraid. Because his cultivation level was locked, he had enough time to hone all the techniques of the Longevity Scriptures to perfection. Also, after the second-rank Green Sun Tree Seed was activated, even if there were people who could defeat him in the same realm, they definitely couldn¡¯t kill him.


    However, it was different when Zheng Wulyu was added. This person was a Sword Cultivator and also had a second-rank high-quality flying sword. After the Qingyang Spirit Tree was opened, it became a target instead.


    After only a few exchanges, Yue Zutao was forced to take out a blue flag magic artifact that transformed into a stream surrounding him. With the power of this magic artifact, he barely managed to withstand Zheng Wulyu¡¯s flying sword attack.


    But at this time, Gong Wanshan took a dark green talisman from his storage bag. He even bit his tongue to activate it with his own blood essence.


    A terrifying black Xuan Guang shone through the talisman, and a threatening sense that made Yue Zutao¡¯s divine sense tremble came up on the sea of consciousness.


    His face changed slightly, and he also took out his trump card¡ªa Rank-3 attack talisman. But just as he was about to activate it, Zheng Wulyu operated his flying sword desperately to stop his action.

    [Damn, I hope the old ancestor¡¯s Spirit Leaf Talisman can resist this wave of attack.]


    Yue Zutao flung the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman he had exchanged from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion out from his sleeve.


    Defensive spirit talismans were generally set to automatically activate upon attack, and he now only hoped that when Old Ancestor Zhou refined this spirit leaf talisman, he put his heart into it, so its defensive power could be greater.


    At this time, a dazzling and brilliant purple sword light lit up not far away.


    The sword light was like a shooting star. As it swept across the sky, the head of a Shake Mountain Peak foundation cultivator wearing a golden robe flew up.

 Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: Chapter 310 Nine-Jo Law Body_1

    Chapter 421: Chapter 310 Nine-Jo Law Body_1


    ¡°Daoyuan!!!¡±


    With one sword swing, Chen Mobai decapitated the Foundation Establishment cultivator from Mountain Shaker Peak before him, and heard a sorrow-filled shout not far off.


    He lifted his gaze, seeing a somewhat short but muscular man, in a yellow robe with a big beard, manifesting disbelief.


    As their eyes met, Chen Mobai clearly saw the boundless rage and a slight regret in the other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Did I just kill his son?¡±


    This thought quickly flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he reached out with his Flying Sword to collect the storage bag from the waist of the headless body in front of him.


    Meanwhile, the big-bearded cultivator waved both hands, letting out a pressure like a collapsing mountain and bursting sea. It was like shocking waves, one after another. While suppressing the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the four major families who were fighting him, he still had the power to spare and smashed a palm towards Chen Mobai¡¯s direction.


    After putting the storage bag away, Chen Mobai lifted his right hand.


    A series of green lights spilled out from his Arm Guard, forming a dazzling fish scale defense in front of him.


    Bang!


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, the following unfolded.


    Although the palm seemed singular, in reality, it was infused with seven layers of Spiritual Power. The moment it touched, it shattered Chen Mobai¡¯s fish scale defense in front of him.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was formidable, and he had a backup plan. With a flicker of a thought, three defensive Spirit Talismans flew out, managing to offer resistance for just three breaths.


    Nonetheless, this momentary respite allowed him to fully unleash the power of the Green Scale Arm Guard.


    The remaining 320 scales were all released, and under his Divine Sense control, they once again formed five defenses.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three successive fish scale defenses were shattered under the heavy palm strike, with many scales broken and no longer usable, even if collected back.


    At least, he managed to block the enemy¡¯s move.


    It turned out to be a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Through this exchange, Chen Mobai discerned the Cultivation Realm of the big-bearded man, and frowned at his right hand that now lacked a small piece of the green scaled Arm Guard.


    I hope this can be fixed.


    He had grown rather fond of this Defensive Magic Weapon.


    Chen Mobai looked back at the ongoing battle where Lian Chenghai and the others from the four major Foundation Establishments of Lei Nation had formed a small Array, pooling their strength to hold back the big-bearded cultivator from the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Had Yue Zutao not been at the edge of life and death at the moment, Chen Mobai would have rushed in with his sword drawn, cooperating with Lian Chenghai and others to first take down the big-bearded cultivator who obviously harbored vengeance against him.


    [Forget it, I¡¯ll let you live for now.]


    Chen Mobai thought those words, but he didn¡¯t have the time to concern himself with the damage to his Green Scale Arm Guard.


    He controlled another Divine Wood Sword and swooped towards Gong Wanshan who was focused on launching a Rank-3 Talisman, aiming to stage a flank attack.


    However, every Cultivator in Tianhe Realm was greatly experienced in Magic Duels.


    Facing his offensive, Gong Wanshan flung a piece of shimmering silver gauze from his sleeve.


    In a flash, the silver light brightened like a waterfall, blocking the Divine Wood Sword.


    Yet, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Wood Sword was merely a feint.


    From his own storage bag, he whipped out the Golden Jade Axe. As he channeled his inner Spiritual Power, this apex Rank-2 Magic Artifact shimmered an intimidating edge, heading straight for Zheng Wulyu who was wholeheartedly manipulating his Flying Sword.


    During a cultivator¡¯s fight, their Divine Sense extends everywhere around them. As the Golden Jade Axe took aim from behind, Zheng Wulyu detected it.


    All Zheng Wulyu could do was to draw out a black shield from his storage bag.


    But his momentary distraction gave his opponent Yue Zutao, who initially had no chance to breathe, the opportunity he needed.


    In addition to the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman, he waved a blue flag conjuring a turtle out of water to shield himself, while illuminating the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s light, shedding its vibrant green leaves and initiating the Spirit Leaves Technique.


    Juts as he completed the triple defense, Gong Wanshan¡¯s Profound Breaking Divine Talisman was activated!


    The pitch black and deep light was like a Poisonous Dragon erupting from the mark in his palm. It clashed instantly with the outermost Spirit Leaf Talisman, causing a thunderous noise.


    Several Qi Practitioners who couldn¡¯t dodge in time were caught in the aftershock. Their faces turned pale instantly, as if their spirits had been obliterated, they collapsed silently to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Zutao¡¯s face changed slightly. What he feared most had happened.


    This Spirit Leaf Talisman was unexpectedly unable to withstand the black light akin to the Poisonous Dragon. The lush green leaf illusion began to slowly lose its vibrancy, eventually vanishing.


    Gong Wanshan¡¯s talisman seemed a bit unusual.


    But at this point, Yue Zutao could only wave his Black Tortoise Flag, unleashing the full defensive power of this intermediate-grade, Rank-2 Defensive Magic Artifact, encountering the dark light that was almost upon him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meanwhile, the branches from the Qingyang Spirit Tree sheared off under Yue Zutao¡¯s Divine Sense manipulation, transforming into wooden arrow after arrow, each radiating an intense Heavenly Wood Spirit Light. They were shot towards Gong Wanshan like a barrage of tens of hundreds of arrows.


    Amid the roaring sound.


    The Black Tortoise Flag¡¯s watery turtle shadow could not hold any longer and burst into countless water droplets, a crack appeared in the middle of the flag.


    Luckily, after successively breaking through the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman and the Black Tortoise Flag, the pitch-black light had its power reduced to merely one-fifth.


    Yue Zutao wasn¡¯t stingy with his Qingyang Spirit Tree. He almost turned the tree¡¯s entire foliage into the Spirit Leaves Technique. He finally managed to completely neutralize Gong Wanshan¡¯s talisman¡¯s power when he was left with no more than a dozen of leaves.

 Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Chapter 310 Nine-Ren Law Body_2

    Chapter 422: Chapter 310 Nine-Ren Law Body_2


    The arrow he shot out did not pose a threat to Gong Wanshan either, as it was easily blocked with Gong Wanshan¡¯s silver light veil.


    Their gazes locked, once again they began to circulate their spiritual power, ready for another magic duel.


    A scream of agony resonated through the air.


    Recalling his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. Across him, Zheng Wulyu had only lost an arm at his hand, his head still intact.


    Just now, he had split his opponent¡¯s black shield with the Golden Jade Axe and had activated the Sword Light once more.


    He originally wanted to catch Zheng Wulyu off guard without the Qingyang Fire Seed, yet unexpectedly, the latter had a life-saving artifact that automatically flew out and deflected his Sword Light, saving him from the brink.


    ¡°This kid from the Divine Wood Sect has mastered the Sword Light. There¡¯s no way I can defeat him.¡±


    Dragging his severed arm, Zheng Wulyu flew to Gong Wanshan¡¯s side, his face pale with fright as he spoke.


    He himself was a sword cultivator, and if it hadn¡¯t been for the near-death experience moments ago, he would hardly have been able to believe that the cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect standing before him, who was merely in the early phase of his Foundation Establishment, had actually achieved the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± realm ¨C something even many cultivators at the late phase of their Foundation Establishment could not attain!


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Gong Wanshan instinctively disbelieved it. But then, in his line of sight, he saw the decapitated body of a cultivator on Shake Mountain Peak slashed through by Chen Mobai.


    If he was not mistaken, the dead Foundation Establishment cultivator was Ji Dao Yuan.


    Ji Dao Yuan was the youngest cultivator in the Shake Mountain Peak to reach Foundation Establishment. He was hailed as the greatest genius in the Ji family after Ji Zhenshi, having achieved the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡± during his Qi Cultivation stage. With his vigorous Qi and blood, and robust physique, he could be said to be as tough as a rank-1 top defense magic weapon.


    Ji Dao Yuan had once dueled with the Nine Great Disciples of Golden Cliff.


    He naturally lost at swordsmanship, but even the flying swords of the Nine Great Disciples of Golden Cliff got nicked, and none of them could harm him to any degree.


    After this battle, Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s reputation skyrocketed. After his Foundation Establishment, he depended on the resources of his sect and family, even attaining the second layer of the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡±. His physical strength was comparable to that of a rank-2 defensive weapon.


    During this grand showdown between the two sects, Ji Dao Yuan just came out of his closed-door cultivation. Thinking it was a chance to make a name for himself, he immediately rushed over upon hearing the call of sect.


    Ji Dingjin knew of his junior¡¯s cultivation level, and even if they ran into cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect who were at the late phase of their Foundation Establishment, he thought that Ji Dao Yuan could keep himself safe with the second layer of the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡±.


    After all, the Longevity Scripture, which they were proficient in, was good at defense and endurance. To the body cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak, it was tantamount to just bearing a beating.


    Ji Dingjin believed that as long as he could confront Chu Zuoshu, Ji Dao Yuan wouldn¡¯t face any imminent danger on the battlefield of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    That is what Ji Dao Yuan thought himself as well.


    Upon stepping onto Rolling Thunder Mountain, he was cautious. After all, it was his first battle since the Foundation Establishment stage. So, he chose an opponent who also seemed to have been in the Foundation Establishment stage for only a few years from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Who knew he would directly hit the jackpot?


    He stumbled upon a sword cultivation prodigy.


    Achieving the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s forceful physique that he was so proud of, despite being tough like a copper wall in the face of Sword Light, was still beheaded by Chen Mobai.


    The disbelief on Gong Wanshan¡¯s face turned into silence as he spotted Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s headless corpse.


    What followed was a bout of excitement and fear.


    He was excited because the death of Ji Dao Yuan meant that there would definitely be no reconciliation between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak in the near future.


    He was afraid because as the instigator of the conflict between the two sects, he might be blamed by the elders of Shake Mountain Peak.


    But it was too late to ponder all this now.


    Bearing his flying sword in hand and slashing out at the midair Gong Wanshan, Chen Mobai was about to strike again!


    This was the Purple Fire Sword Aura!


    Gong Wanshan instantaneously threw out a defensive talisman, but the talisman only managed to form a silver light shield against the Sword Light before it shattered like porcelain hitting the ground.


    Such a terrifying Sword Light!


    Gong Wanshan, having witnessed such horrific destructive power, his face turned graver.


    No wonder Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s Nine Rens Law Body couldn¡¯t resist it.


    He immediately activated his silver light veil, a defensive magic artifact, forming a silver waterfall that descended from the sky, standing in the path of the imminent Purple Fire Sword Light. At the same time, Gong Wanshan also put a defensive talisman on both himself and Zheng Wulyu before they started running in opposite directions.


    ¡°Ji Dao Yuan was killed by a man from the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    Gong Wanshan shouted loudly as they ran, quickly drawing everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°This old guy, always thinking of wicked schemes.¡±


    Unable to resist, Yue Zutao spat a mouthful of saliva and cursed at Gong Wanshan¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Who is Ji Dao Yuan?¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai flicked his finger and shot out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. It burst out like a beam of light, or a silver galaxy crossing the pitch-black void, dazzlingly brilliant.


    Not far in front of him, Zheng Wulyu, who had managed to run just a few steps, looked down at the hole through his heart. He wanted to say something, but his body began to burn with purple-green flames. He was turned to ashes by the Qingyang Fire Seed in a blink of an eye.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Zheng Wulyu¡¯s storage bag was brought into Chen Mobai¡¯s hand by the flying sword before it was incinerated.


    Collecting spoils of war was a tradition among cultivators in the Tianhe Realm.


    This was also why the cultivators here were so enthusiastic about magic duels.


    ¡°He was the chief disciple of the previous generation in Shake Mountain Peak. He was known as the second only to Ji Zhenshi and known for his robust physique.¡±


    Yue Zutao looked at the decapitated head not far away. He had seen the portrait of Ji Dao Yuan, and it indeed looked very similar.

 Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Chapter 310 Nine-foot Law Body_3

    Chapter 423: Chapter 310 Nine-foot Law Body_3


    Despite his certainty, his voice trembled slightly.


    ¡°No wonder after beheading him, the Qingyang Fire Seed couldn¡¯t burn his body to ashes, so he was a Body Cultivator after all.¡±


    Upon hearing the name Ji Dao Yuan, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became clear.


    He was well aware that battles among Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm resulted in life or death in an instant, so he didn¡¯t hold back.


    Facing Ji Dao Yuan who attacked him, he immediately used the Flying Sparrow Hairpin combined with Qingyang Fire, and instantly boosted his Purple Fire Sword Light to its peak under regular circumstances.


    Average Foundation Establishment cultivators, like the Sword Cultivator Zheng Wulyu, were reduced to ashes under a single sword from Chen Mobai.


    Although Ji Dao Yuan had been beheaded, his body was left intact.


    At first, Chen Mobai doubted whether he had overestimated his own strength. But after hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s words and seeing Zheng Wulyu¡¯s ashes scattered over the sky, he was relieved.


    He was still formidable, it was just that his first opponent was an adept, whose physical strength could withstand the heat of Qingyang Fire Seed.


    ¡°Younger brother Chen, this Ji Dao Yuan is as famous as your senior brother Hong He, together with Huangfu Gan of Liu Jia Mountain, Bai Cai of the Snow-blowing Palace, Ban Zhaodan of Golden Cliff, they are known as the Five-colour Immortal Seeds of the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai had not fully understood the weight of Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s identity, Yue Zutao drew a very vivid comparison.


    ¡°Five-color Immortal Seeds?¡±


    Chen Mobai had never heard of this term, but he understood the intention of Yue Zutao¡¯s explanation.


    In other words, the guy whom he beheaded was equivalent to his senior brother Hong He from Divine Wood Sect.


    If Hong He was killed by the people of Shake Mountain Peak, the Divine Wood Sect would definitely not give up.


    In simple terms, the person he had killed had a high standing, and the treasures in his storage bag must be plentiful.


    Yue Zutao admired Chen Mobai¡¯s calmness, but he did not know that the latter was already thinking about opening the storage bag after the battle ended.


    At this moment, an extremely strong spiritual pressure rushed towards the two of them.


    Chen Mobai immediately became stern and looked up at the big-bearded cultivator who was stepping forward from the sky not far away, his palms stained with blood.


    ¡°No good, it¡¯s Mu Hanxiong, one of the Nine Peak Masters of Shake Mountain, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator. We are no match for him.¡±


    Upon seeing who it was, Yue Zutao¡¯s face turned pale.


    The path of Body Cultivation is difficult and consumes a lot of Spirit Stones, but once successful, they become a headache for all Cultivators.


    Only a top-ranked Sword Cultivator who has trained to the point of Sword Rainbow Fission can penetrate their defense¡­.


    Wait, Sword Light!


    Reminded of this, Yue Zutao suddenly recalled what Gong Wanshan had shouted earlier.


    Because he had just managed to survive, he hadn¡¯t reacted in time.


    Now he returned to his senses!


    He suddenly turned to look at Chen Mobai, who was calm and controlling two Flying Swords.


    ¡°Senior brother Yue, I need to concentrate fully to fight this person, I may not be able to pay attention to you after this.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he spoke, the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on Chen Mobai¡¯s wrist scattered, turning into a mist-like cloud of gas carrying him into the sky.


    Upon hearing these words, Yue Zutao swallowed nervously.


    He had been thinking about how to run away a moment ago.


    This younger brother Chen was too courageous.


    Perhaps only this kind of unyielding spirit can form Sword Rainbow Fission at such a realm.

 Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_1

    Chapter 424: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_1


    Yue Zutao first heard of Chen Mobai when he demonstrated his Sword Qi Long Rainbow at the Qi Cultivating Realm, dominating the sect¡¯s grand competition.


    His reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation spread throughout the Divine Wood Sect, reaching the ears of all cultivators.


    However, at that time, to those at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was merely seen as a potential fellow cultivator of immense talent.


    Little did they know that within just one year of becoming a formal disciple, Chen Mobai would successfully establish his foundation.


    So, when E Yun proposed to bring Chen Mobai to pay him a visit, Yue Zutao readily agreed.


    The first impression Chen Mobai left on Yue Zutao was a positive one.


    He was a genius, but unlike arrogant figures like Hong He and Mu Yuan, he was gentle and elegant in his speech and manners, not at all like the fervently devoted sword cultivators often portrayed in tales.


    In retrospect, Yue Zutao realized that he had judged Chen Mobai solely by his appearance.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s true personality as a sword cultivator was hidden deep within him, not displayed falsely on the surface like others.


    His sword path had reached the stage where he could wield it at will.


    The sharpness, straightness, and essence of his sword were engraved deeply in his heart, erupting passionately in the moment his sword left its sheath, charging forward fearlessly amid a sea of opponents.


    Chen Mobai was unaware of the admiration that arose in Yue Zutao¡¯s heart when he saw him fly into the air to confront Mu Hanxiong.


    Even though he had fought and won against hundreds of foundation establishment cultivators in Little Red Sky, this was the first time he was facing someone in the late stages of foundation establishment.


    If he had the choice, Chen Mobai would certainly not want to engage in a life-or-death battle with Mu Hanxiong.


    However, the reality was that he had killed Ji Dao Yuan, and the foundation establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain were bent on avenging him.


    After Gong Wanshan roared, three foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country stepped up to help Mu Hanxiong break free from the formation laid out by Lian Chenghai¡¯s quartet. Taking advantage of the chaos, Mu Hanxiong managed to kill one of the cultivators, releasing some of his pent-up rage caused by Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s death.


    ¡°I will claim your life to pay respects to Dao Yuan.¡±


    Mu Hanxiong spoke coldly. Now, he had donned full body armor, surrounded by a rust-colored aura, appearing like a deity of iron.


    ¡°You could be the first late foundation establishment cultivator I kill, and I will remember you.¡±


    As Chen Mobai uttered these words, he was about to use the Heavenly Wood Talisman to activate the Green Sun Tree Seed that Chu Zuoshu had given him.


    Suddenly, a green spirit light flew towards him, shielding his front.


    It was Fu Huakun, the Reward Virtue Hall Inspector of the Divine Wood Sect, who was second only to Chu Zuoshu at the late Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Leave him to me, you deal with the other foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country.¡±


    Fu Huakun had been unable to take action before due to the need to restore the Earth Gold Knife Array. Now that he was in the air, it became clear that the array had been fully repaired.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked up and indeed, the Earth-Metal Armour, which had previously been split into three sections, was now slowly being repaired and augmented by the abundant spiritual energy from the earth veins.


    However, if Fu Huakun was now dealing with Mu Hanxiong, then who was controlling the Earth Gold Knife Array?


    Now wasn¡¯t the time to worry about that. Since Fu Huakun had sprung into action, arrangements must have been made.


    ¡°Be careful, Inspector Fu. This man is not to be underestimated.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had not engaged Mu Hanxiong in combat, their clash of auras allowed him to glimpse the immense vitality within his opponent¡¯s body through his Void Spirit Eye. Indeed, he was a formidable adversary, not at all inferior to Lu Qiulong.


    Fu Huakun nodded in response. With the activation of his Heavenly Wood Talisman, the seed in his palm blossomed into a twelve-meter-tall Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll kill you.¡±


    Seeing Fu Huakun expanding his domain, Mu Hanxiong realised that unless he killed this man, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get to Chen Mobai.


    Taking a deep breath, his body was engulfed in a surge of rust-colored energy.


    At the same time, three similar lights flew towards him and landed beside him.


    ¡°Peak Master, we will hold him off. You go after that Sword Cultivator from Divine Wood Sect. If that man is not eliminated, he will remain a continual threat.¡±


    Mu Hanxiong¡¯s eyes narrowed, but without voicing any objections, he turned around to bypass Fu Huakun and charged towards Chen Mobai.


    Fu Huakun, upon seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows. Reaching into his storage bag, he released a green-black glow which instantly transformed into a wooden puppet.


    The wooden puppet, brandishing a two-meter-long wooden spear, maneuvered agilely atop the Qingyang Spirit Tree and lunged straight at Mu Hanxiong.


    ¡°First get past us!¡±


    However, one of Shake Mountain¡¯s foundation establishment cultivators intercepted the puppet with his ring-headed broad sword. The slash of his sword was akin to a boulder crashing into calm waters.

    The grandeur of his sword radiance was such that both the puppet and its spear were knocked back to Fu Huakun.


    However, at this moment, three more green-black glows emerged from Fu Huakun¡¯s storage bag ¡ª another three Rank-2 wooden puppets materialized, each wielding a different weapon: a wooden knife, a wooden sword, and a wooden shield. They formed a small square-shaped battlefield around Fu Huakun and the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°We¡¯re here to help.¡±


    Two more foundation establishment cultivators flew over ¡ª one of them was Gong Wanshan, and the other was an elder from a Rock Country foundation establishment family. Along with the three cultivators from Shake Mountain, the five of them launched an attack on Fu Huakun. Even though Fu Huakun had a higher cultivation level, he was forced to focus entirely on deploying his Longevity Sutra to the maximum at this moment.


    From his storage bag, eight more Rank-1 wooden puppets emerged. Along with the previously summoned four Rank-2 puppets, they arranged a simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation around the Qingyang Spirit Tree.

 Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_2

    Chapter 425: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_2


    Upon witnessing this spectacle, Gong Wanshan and the other four exchanged glances, instantly feeling a headache brewing.


    If the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators began to deploy this formation, even if the five of them collaborated, they might not be able to break through this realm.


    However, they had no room to retreat on the battlefield. If they didn¡¯t stop Fu Huakun here, the latter could easily act. Whether it was dealing with Mu Hanxiong or attacking the Qi Practitioners from Rock Country, it would be a significant issue.


    If Mu Hanxiong were held back, then the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s young man, who had perfected the Sword Rainbow Fission technique, could challenge any of them individually and ensure a fatal outcome.


    On the other hand, if they avoided Fu Huakun¡¯s strongest attack now, then the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation would show the Qi Practitioners of the Rock Country what it means to mow the grass.


    The harm caused by the Immortality Skill was average, relevant only to cultivators of the same realm.


    If a Qi Practitioner was up against this skill, even ordinary wooden arrows, which were unblockable Rank-2 spells, would pose a problem.


    Rock Country attacked Rolling Thunder Mountain with a force of twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators and twelve hundred Qi Practitioners.


    The strongest among them, Ji Dingjin and Chu Zuoshu, battled fiercely in the air above the mountain peak, but everyone knew that Ji Dingjin holding on was their biggest victory.


    Fu Huakun, the second most potent cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect after Chu Zuoshu, didn¡¯t show himself earlier due to his preparation of the Earth Gold Knife Array. Nevertheless, Mu Hanxiong had been vigilantly anticipating his arrival.


    However, growing impatient during the wait, Mu Hanxiong plunged into the battle array of Qi practitioners from Lei Nation.


    Lian Chenghai and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation, who were initially idle, had to join forces to pull Mu Hanxiong out of the Qi Practitioner battlefield, to save their kinsmen from more casualties.


    It was during this time that Ji Dao Yuan sought Chen Mobai and was confidently beaten by a single strike.


    ¡°Today, even an Immortal from the Upper Realm couldn¡¯t save you!¡±


    Mu Hanxiong flew to Chen Mobai¡¯s face, glanced at Fu Huakun, who was fighting against five others, and spoke coldly.


    In response to him, a splendid Purple Fire Sword Light flared.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to waste words with him.


    The abundant combat experience in Little Red Sky made him acutely aware of his strengths and weaknesses.


    Although his spiritual power was comparable to that of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator due to the practice of Two Phases Technique, he knew he could not compete with the late-stage cultivators. Hence, a quick battle resolution was imperative.


    Of course, Mu Hanxiong understood the formidable power of the Sword Light.


    The Body Cultivators of the Shake Mountain, fear such top-ranked Sword Cultivators who have mastered the Sword Light.


    In fact, during the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages, the Body Cultivators could claim to be the strongest among their peers.


    Aside from a few cultivators who had practiced unique Cultivation Techniques, even Sword Cultivators found it impossible to breach their defenses.


    However, a Sword Cultivator who had mastered Sword Rainbow Fission was another story.


    The extremely refined Sword Qi could cut through even pure iron, let alone the body of a Body Cultivator.


    Nonetheless, having completed Foundation Establishment over a hundred years ago and having battled with Golden Cliff Elders who have cultivated Sword Light, Mu Hanxiong had his unique experiences and techniques for battling top-ranked Sword Cultivators.


    ¡°Iron Armor Cultivation!¡±


    With a fierce shout, the swirling black-red energy streams around him merged with his armor instantaneously, further fortifying the Rank-2 Magic Artifact with another layer of energy shield.


    Add to that his robust physical body.


    With three layers of defenses, he was able to grasp Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light, despite his palm being ripped open and smoke rising from it. He could undoubtedly endure the Sword Light.


    Amid a roaring sound.


    Mu Hanxiong swiftly moved in mid-air, lunged at Chen Mobai, and launched a powerful palm strike.


    Sword Cultivators were generally offensively strong but defense-wise weak¡ªthe polar opposite of Body Cultivators.


    As long as they landed one close-range attack, they could crush their foes¡¯ fragile bodies.


    However, Chen Mobai, who had experienced countless battles in Little Red Sky, was quite familiar with this tactic due his peers in the four major Daoist Academies and the top ten universities coming up with various strategies against it.


    With the rapid operation of his Divine Sense, the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± around him condensed into a dark-red fire gas¡ªlike an incredibly soft cotton cloth, dissolving most of the powerful force in Mu Hanxiong¡¯s palm.


    Then, spots of green light flew out as the full power of the Green Scale Arm Guard was unleashed, transforming into a six-fold scale shield.


    Mu Hanxiong¡¯s left palm fell, dispersing the misty cloud gas and breaking three shields. Although his palm lost its force, his right hand was already swinging down.


    Even more terrifying, his powerful right palm cleared all the clouds and mist around Chen Mobai, and the remaining three scale shields scattered into hundreds of pieces that filled the air.

    Yet, what met Mu Hanxiong¡¯s strike was a golden jade axe.


    This top-ranked Rank-2 Magic Artifact, after being instilled with five drops of liquid spiritual power by Chen Mobai, exploded with an unprecedented jade-like glow. It exhibited its sharpness to the fullest, not only breaking Mu Hanxiong¡¯s robust palm force but also shattering his energy shield, armor, and three-layer defense.


    Amid the sudden burst of bloody light, almost half of his palm was sliced off. However, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    After trapping the golden jade axe with the bones of his right hand, the fully recharged left palm was violently slammed down on Chen Mobai, who was fully devoid of any protective energy.


    But at that moment, Mu Hanxiong saw Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flash a clear lustrous gloss.

 Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: Chapter 311: The Power of Rank-3 Magic Artifact_3

    Chapter 426: Chapter 311: The Power of Rank-3 Magic Artifact_3


    Then a burst of Purple Fire Sword Light erupted, seeming like a purple meteor that was shot towards Mu Hanxiong¡¯s forehead.


    A faceless puppet, controlling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, bursts out with a spiritual power fluctuation that was not inferior to the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and it flew from Chen Mobai¡¯s back.


    ¡°A puppet?¡±


    Seeing the exquisite faceless puppet took Mu Hanxiong by surprise. Although he was confident in his triple-layered defense, he didn¡¯t dare to take a risk about his eyebrows and his sense of the sea was similarly important.


    His left palm, which was originally smashed towards Chen Mobai¡¯s face, was raised, as he gripped the Purple Fire Sword Light. Then, the black and red spirit streamed around as he eradicated the Purple Fire Sword Light with his Iron Armor Cultivation.


    Both of the spiritual power explosions separated the two, letting Chen Mobai escape from the continuous attacks of his opponent.


    Using this time, Chen Mobai unfolded the tree seed with the Heavenly Wood Talisman. While he has been focusing on the Pure Yang Scroll over the years, he often practiced the spells from the Longevity Scripture within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Mu Hanxiong once again rushed over, and the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light formed a large spiral-like spearhead under Chen Mobai¡¯s control of his divine sense, knocking his opponent away.


    However, the attack power of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light was indeed a bit underwhelming. Mu Hanxiong¡¯s outer Qi Armor was only broken, the person himself took off unscratched, and once again charged towards Chen Mobai.


    Chirp sound resounds.


    Chen Mobai finally initiated the ready Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique. The red electricity, like a spirit snake, gushed out from his palm and heavily struck Mu Hanxiong¡¯s body.


    As the thunder and lightning continued to strike, Mu Hanxiong widened his eyes. After taking a bottle of Qi restoration elixir, he pushed his Iron Armor Cultivation to its extreme. Surprisingly, he resisted the Bing Fire Divine Thunder and the arrows raining from the sky, once again forcefully rushing to Chen Mobai¡¯s front.


    Hummmmm!


    But at this time, Chen Mobai took the fully charged Flying Sparrow Hairpin from the hand of the faceless puppet.


    He opened his mouth and spat, infusing the tiny and exquisite Flying Sword with his own Qi of Yuan Yang.


    In an instant, the sword light was blazing like a sun that had escaped the darkness, under the horizon¡¯s restraint, it erupted with an unprecedented blinding brilliance.


    Mu Hanxiong who had just rushed up, received Chen Mobai¡¯s strongest sword strike, bolstered by his own Fire Spirit Body, the Sun Raising Technique, and Qingyang Fire Seed.


    With the swing of this sword, another sun seemed to emerge over the entire Rolling Thunder Mountain!


    Mu Hanxiong widened his eyes, outside of his triple defenses of Qi Armor, Physical Armor, and his Physical body, he also took out a Rank-2 defensive Spirit Talisman.


    Yet, even so, under this sword, all of them were broken.


    Amidst the emergence of the blood, Chen Mobai frowned slightly.


    He felt that this sword couldn¡¯t completely slaughter Mu Hanxiong.


    After hesitating for a moment, he took out the ultimate Magic Artifact he had been saving.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror ascended behind his head, injecting 12 drops from the remaining 15 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power housed within his Dantian Qi sea, into this Rank-3 Magic Artifact.

    A semi-transparent, golden color flash of fire vomited out from the face of the mirror, landing on Mu Hanxiong who just survived the Sword Light.


    Mu Hanxiong was seen to have a deeply visible wound that could be seen directly into his bone on his chest from the Sword Light, blood was all over the place. Based on his four-layered defense, he survived Chen Mobai¡¯s strongest sword strike.


    ¡°Hahaha, the Sword Rainbow Fission is nothing special, after this battle, I can see the path to the perfection of Foundation Establishment. Boy from Divine Wood Sect, to thank you, I will leave your body intact¡­ Ah¡­ What¡¯s this¡­¡±


    As the golden flames fell, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s prideful Qi Armor, Physical Armor, and his flesh turned into flying ashes in an instant.


    The Peak Master of Shake Mountain Peak, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, turned into flakes of ashes under everyone¡¯s horrified gazes, scattering across the sky.

 Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Chapter 312: Post-War Spoils_1

    Chapter 427: Chapter 312: Post-War Spoils_1


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Up in the sky, the voice of Ji Dingjin sounded.


    But there was no need for him to say it. After witnessing Chen Mobai turn Mu Hanxiong into flying ashes, the cultivators from Rock Country who came to attack Rolling Thunder Mountain had already lost their will to fight.


    Some Foundation Establishment cultivators had guessed the grade of that mirror, their eyes full of fear and a hint of greed.


    However, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s ashes still floated in the sky, and no one dared to step further in the direction of Chen Mobai.


    Even when the retreat order was given, everyone was eager to leave.


    They were afraid that if they left too late, they too would be dispersed by this handsome boy from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chu Zuoshu did not stop them. After all, they were even fewer in number. That they were able to hold off this attack on the mountain was an extraordinary feat.


    You must understand that, before the battle, Chu had even hinted at Chen Mobai and the others that if the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array was broken, everyone should scatter and flee.


    Before Ji Dingjin left, he gave Chen Mobai a significant look. The latter, with his powerful divine sense, naturally noticed this glance.


    At the moment of their eye contact, Chen Mobai saw a deep murderous intent in Ji Dingjin¡¯s eyes.


    He had a feeling that this old man might risk his own life to take him down.


    If Chu Zuoshu was not present at the moment, Ji Dingjin might have attacked long ago.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pursue a desperate enemy.¡±


    The cultivators from Rock Country escaped through the hole in the Earth-Metal Armour which hadn¡¯t completely repaired itself. More than three hundred cultivators who were still alive on Rolling Thunder Mountain were about to break out to chase them, but Chu Zuoshu stopped them.


    Three flashes of spiritual light rose into the sky. It was the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation, Lian Chenghai and others. Initially, there were four of them, but the eldest from the Bao family was unlucky and died in Mu Hanxiong¡¯s hands.


    The three of them joined forces, halting the Qi practitioners on Rolling Thunder Mountain who were about to pursue their attack.


    Chu Zuoshu also gathered the people from Divine Wood Sect and looked at the numbers, his face turned gloomy.


    The battle at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Rock Country lost six Foundation Establishment cultivators, and over two hundred Qi Practitioners.


    On the Lei Nation¡¯s side, one of the Foundation Establishment elders of the four major families died, two of the eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Reward Virtue Hall of the Divine Wood Sect also died, and the other Qi practitioners suffered a loss of nearly one hundred.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t killed Mu Hanxiong with his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, causing the cultivators of Rock Country to be terrified, and if the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array hadn¡¯t started to repair and close, trapping Ji Dingjin in fear, this battle would not have ended so quickly.


    The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Divine Wood Sect who died were named Feng Feixiong and Liu Mingjing. They were both cultivators at the early Foundation Stage, both died in the midst of the siege.


    Chen Mobai had become acquainted with them along the way. It¡¯s a pity that they didn¡¯t get to know each other well before they had closed their eyes forever.


    Chu Zuoshu cremated the two bodies directly on Rolling Thunder Mountain, but their storage bags had been seized by the cultivators from Rock Country.


    ¡°Record the achievements of the two younger brothers. If they have descendants or disciples who achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection in the future, the sect will prioritize the supply of Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    Yue Zutao listened to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words and nodded solemnly.


    At this moment, Lian Chenghai and the other two came over. They were accompanied by a grieving-looking boy of fifteen or sixteen and presented a storage bag.


    ¡°Master Chu, this is the most outstanding member of the Bao family¡¯s current generation. Let him consume the Foundation Building Pill. If possible, we hope that he could become your disciple. This is the tribute to the master from the Bao family.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu nodded in agreement to the first half of Lian Chenghai¡¯s words.


    ¡°I have not accepted any disciples for a long time. However, the Foundation Building Pill is my commitment. As soon as the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matures, as long as he achieves Qi Cultivation Perfection, the first one will be supplied to him.¡±


    Since he didn¡¯t agree to accept a disciple, naturally, Chu Zuoshu did not accept the storage bag.


    ¡°After the elder Bao died, the three veins of the Bao family have already started to fight internally. Although QiYuan was the successor appointed by Elder Bao in advance, I¡¯m afraid that even if the Foundation Building Pill comes down, it may not reach QiYuan¡¯s hands.¡±


    Lian Chenghai sighed and handed the object to the young man of the Bao surname.


    ¡°Great Immortal Chen, I want to acknowledge you as my master to learn swordsmanship.¡±


    After receiving the storage bag, QiYuan took a firm bite and directly turned around and knelt in front of Chen Mobai, his hands held high.


    ¡°For the elders of our sect to accept a disciple, one must first become a disciple of our sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback but refused tactfully.


    At the same time, he held out his hand, and his soft Longevity Spiritual Power pulled QiYuan up.


    Indeed, there was such a rule in the Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai had learned this from Yuan Chiye during his time at the Bud Hall.


    Foundation Establishment cultivators who were traveling around, seeing those with exceptional Spiritual Root Talents, would first have the disciples join the Divine Wood Sect before accepting them as disciples.


    The reason for this additional step was because this was a rule passed down from the time of the Five Elements Sect. It was set up by Hun Yuan Grandmaster.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect had split up, they still recognize this Grandmaster.


    ¡°Why not acknowledge the Divine Wood Sect first? I wonder if this is okay.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing this, Lian Chenghai immediately intervened.


    Meeting this small request, Chu Zuoshu naturally agreed.


    The battle with Shake Mountain Peak had been planned by the high-levels long ago, expecting that the number of Qi cultivation disciples in the sect would decrease substantially after the battle. They predicted that the normally every-decade crossing of the boundary to accept disciples might have to be shortened.


    Chu Zuoshu, as the future sect leader, still had the right to accept a disciple into the Divine Wood Sect in advance.


    ¡°The Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array has been fully repaired, but too much spiritual energy from the earth veins has been extracted. The next time Shake Mountain attacks, the power may not be as great as it was today.¡±

 Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_2

    Chapter 428: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_2


    After arranging for Bao Qiyuan to leave, Lian Chenghai returned to consult with the Divine Wood Sect on the next course of action.


    When Fu Huakun made his move, it was Lian Chenghai who was controlling the Array Plate and repairing the Large Formation.


    Before the two sects engaged in a war, he was the one presiding over the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array, so he was very familiar with it.


    ¡°Thanks to Junior Brother Chen¡¯s sword light deterrence, after this battle, Mountain Shaker Peak would certainly not dare to come over,¡± said Fu Huakun, prompting expressions of relief from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    All of them looked at Chen Mobai in astonishment. He simply shook his head modestly, implying that the victory was due to everyone¡¯s joint effort.


    ¡°No wonder the Sect Leader was a bit reluctant when I said I wanted to bring you out,¡± Chu Zuoshu said, recalling the moment before they had left Shenmu Hall.


    He had noticed the communication between Chen Mobai and Meng Hong, initially assuming the Sect Leader had given them some secret assignment, but now he understood Meng Hong¡¯s regretful expression.


    It seemed like a bit of a waste to use this unparalleled Divine Sword on the battlefield.


    However, if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai, Rolling Thunder Mountain might have knocked a few teeth out from Mountain Shaker Peak, but they would¡¯ve likely suffered heavy casualties.


    Moreover, being able to kill Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong, the future and present of Mountain Shaker Peak, was already a significant gain.


    ¡°We still need to be careful of any additional support from Mountain Shaker Peak, Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong¡¯s deaths here wouldn¡¯t be taken lightly by Ji Zhenshi,¡± said Yue Zutao, who was the most calm among them and raised the worst possibility.


    After all, Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s stronghold is right across the Rock Country. With Mu Hanxiong, one of the nine Peak Masters dead but with six Foundation Establishment Cultivators remaining, they could not hold their ground even with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array if Mountain Shaker Peak roused the forces of two countries under it.


    ¡°The sect¡¯s main forces will arrive in two days, but given Junior Brother Chen¡¯s astonishing swordsmanship talent, I fear Mountain Shaker Peak will spare no effort to stop him,¡± Yue Zutao said worriedly. If he were Ji Zhenshi, he would certainly do so upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect had a prodigy who had practiced Sword Rainbow Fission in the early foundation stage.


    ¡°If Mountain Shaker Peak acts on this, they might lose half of the sect¡¯s power.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu laughed, then delivered some good news.


    ¡°Quan Shanlin has already led twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators from our sect here in advance, they will likely arrive tonight.¡±


    Qi Practitioners can¡¯t fly, so they rely on the sect¡¯s Flying Boat or Floating Airship for transport, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators are different. Even at the expense of Spiritual Power and Magic Artifact, it only takes four to five days to get here from Giant Tree Ridge.


    Of the Divine Wood Sect, it¡¯s Penalty Evil Hall that goes to war.


    But it was necessary for Quan Shanlin to wait for the Sect Leader¡¯s order to gather Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Due to the preparation of Legal Treasures, talismans, and arrangements of aftermath prior to battle, it took three days to prepare before setting off.


    Fortunately, Mountain Shaker Peak was also unprepared, enabling Chu Zuoshu to stall until this day.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the mirror you used to kill Mu Hanxiong doesn¡¯t seem to be a regular Rank-2 Magic Artifact.¡±


    That night, while Chu Zuoshu and others were secretly welcoming Quan Shanlin and other sect cultivators, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao were drinking tea. Suddenly, the latter posed a question.


    ¡°Right, it¡¯s the Rank-3 Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    After hearing this, Yue Zutao sighed in relief, then proceeded to say earnestly.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, Rank-3 Magic Artifacts are extraordinarily precious. Only the two elders and the Sect Leader in our sect own them. It¡¯s better not to reveal them when you¡¯re alone outside.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yue. I used it today because it was a matter of life and death, and I felt safe amongst my fellow brothers.¡±


    Earlier, while discussing strategies, Chen Mobai sensed that everyone¡¯s gazes were often on him. Even Chu Zuoshu seemed to want to speak but ended up keeping silent. He probably wanted to inquire about the Rank-3 Magic Artifact, but it was considered a taboo in the Tianhe Realm to probe others¡¯ Magic Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, even among fellow sect members.


    It took a lot of determination for Yue Zutao to bring it up. It also meant that since Chen Mobai had saved him today, he now regarded him as a true friend.


    ¡°After the conflict on Rolling Thunder Mountain, Junior Brother Chen¡¯s reputation will probably echo throughout the Eastern Wilderness. However, once the battle is over, Master will succeed the Sect Leader, so it¡¯s better for you to focus on practicing and raising your Realm in the sect. If you form the Core, our Divine Wood Sect will be truly secure. It might even return to the Five Elements Sect and dominate the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    In Yue Zutao¡¯s words, a lot of information was revealed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If I could, I¡¯d love to keep practicing my swordsmanship and drinking wine in Xiao Nanshan. Unfortunately, Elder Brother Yuan was the one who brought me into the sect. If he¡¯s in trouble and I don¡¯t come, I won¡¯t feel at peace.¡±


    What Chen Mobai said was from the bottom of his heart. His bond with the Divine Wood Sect was due not just to his disciples but also to E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and even Sect Leader Meng Hong treating him sincerely.


    Given Yuan Chiye¡¯s unknown fate, he couldn¡¯t just sit idly in Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Fortune smiles upon the blessed. By the way, Junior Brother Chen, you killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, did you get a great haul?¡±


    Yue Zutao swiftly changed the topic to lift the mood by bringing up some good news.

 Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_3

    Chapter 429: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_3


    Chen Mobai shook his head and placed two storage bags in front of him. He first emptied out the one on the left, which contained over two hundred of lower-grade spiritual stones, a cultivation technique manual, an armor set, and five bottles of pills of unknown purpose.


    ¡°Mu Hanxiong¡¯s storage bag turned to ashes together with his corpse by the Rank-3 magic artifact. Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s storage bag only contains these spirit stones and this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯ manual, along with this Rank-1 superior armor. It¡¯s quite surprising for him being a famed disciple of Mountain Shaker Peak to be less wealthy than Zheng Wulyu.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a look of disgust as he shook the right storage bag.


    A small mountain of over two thousand lower-grade spiritual stones poured out. This pile included fifty translucent intermediate-grade spiritual stones, a Rank-2 flying sword radiating spiritual light, a damaged Heart Protecting Mirror, and, of course, an array of different pills.


    Zheng Wulyu, as the patriarch of a family, was far wealthier than Ji Dao Yuan, having over seven thousand spiritual stones alone.


    This Rank-2 superior flying sword is worth nearly two thousand spiritual stones; it¡¯s just a pity that the Rank-2 lower-grade protective magic artifact, the Heart Protecting Mirror, has been damaged while blocking Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, haven¡¯t you heard the saying, ¡®Among the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemists are the richest, while body cultivators are the poorest¡¯?¡±


    Yue Zutao laughed and remarked.


    Among cultivators, alchemists are the richest, while body cultivators are the poorest. The latter needs to constantly purchase blood and flesh of spirit beasts, spirit rice and spirit vegetables, combined with all kinds of pills that strengthen their Qi-blood and refine their bones. Essentially, no matter how many spiritual stones they have, they are bound to spend them all.


    Even if Mu Hanxiong¡¯s storage bag had not been burnt to ashes by the Six Suns Divine Fire Mirror, the items inside would probably not exceed those of Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s.


    It is well known that amongst the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness, the cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak are the poorest.


    Ji Zhenshi had to sell himself to the Xuan Xiao Corporation as a bodyguard to acquire a set of Rank-3 armor after his Core Formation. He is still working there, having to escort goods from time to time.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt slightly better knowing that Mu Hanxiong was also poor, therefore, his own loss was minimal.


    ¡°Junior brother, you can let Lian Chenghai deal with these pills. The cultivators from Lei Nation are gathered here already, so it should be easy to sell them. As for this flying sword, the value of magic artifacts has risen a lot due to the war between our two sects. If auctioned, it could probably fetch over two thousand spiritual stones.¡±


    Yue Zutao¡¯s suggestion resonated with Chen Mobai. However, this flying sword is of the earth-attribute, which is not compatible with his own. If kept for his disciples, it might have to be kept for a long time. It would be better to exchange it directly for resources that could enhance his combat abilities.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yue, do you have a Qingyang Fire Seed?¡±


    Yue Zutao, one of the most outstanding Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect, was among the few Foundation Establishment cultivators who could take care of the sect¡¯s Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Trees. These spirit trees might burst out Qingyang Fire Seeds under certain conditions during their promotion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A Qingyang Spirit Tree that failed to level up successfully and a Golden Sun Spirit Tree that did level up successfully both have a chance to produce Qingyang Fire Seeds.


    Being natural Spiritual Fire, the Divine Wood Sect would assign specific Spirit Plant Masters to collect them during the spirit tree¡¯s promotion process. If lucky, they could collect a Qingyang Fire Seed from every ten Qingyang Spirit Trees that got promoted.


    ¡°I understand what Junior Brother Chen means. I see that your fire seed is about to advance to become a complete ¡®Qingyang Fire.¡¯ You want to merge two fire seeds to shorten this process, right?¡±


    While saying this, Yue Zutao took out a clay pot from his own storage bag.


    Upon opening and looking inside, Chen Mobai saw a Qingyang Fire Seed burning.

 Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_1

    Chapter 430: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_1


    Chapter 313: Mysterious Frost Yin Sha


    In the more than twenty years since Yue Zutao¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he had only managed to gather two Qingyang Fire Seeds, one of which he had handed over to the sect. The one he currently held was his own harvest.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion owned by the Divine Wood Sect, the price tag for the Qingyang Fire Seed was 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, due to its high demand, it was usually overstated by about twenty percent.


    Chen Mobai gave all the items from the two storage bags he had obtained this time to Yue Zutao, which was equivalent to just over 10,000 spirit stones.


    Yue Zutao really wanted to show his gratitude to Chen Mobai. If it were someone else, he wouldn¡¯t even think of giving away the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    ¡°Disciple, you should make a copy of this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯. Our sect doesn¡¯t have this cultivation technique. I will submit it to the Transmission Department when I return, and it could be exchanged for some contribution points.¡±


    In the Divine Wood Sect, contribution points were akin to the Good Deed Points of the Immortal School. They could be directly exchanged for spirit stones, as well as all kinds of herbs and foundation building pills required by the sect, which was why many sect disciples would take on tasks to accumulate them.


    As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai could also post tasks in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He could choose whether to pay in contribution points or spirit stones, as the sect didn¡¯t enforce this.


    ¡°Many thanks to senior brother Yue. I happen to have a disciple with a good Earth Spirit Root, this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯ can be brought back for her to refer to.¡±


    In truth, Chen Mobai did not regard the Nine Slaying Technique highly. After all, he could download as many of such techniques as he wanted from the Immortal School.


    However, he could not share the techniques from the Immortal School with his three disciples. Compared to this, the Nine Slaying Technique was already one of the most renowned Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.


    This was a Body Forging technique, with a total of nine levels.


    It¡¯s challenging to get started with the Nine Slaying Technique, but the complete version can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    However, Ji Dao Yuan only had the first six levels.


    After Chen Mobai finished copying it, he sketched out a plan and found that while practicing this technique, one would not only need to consume various types of Spirit Rice and Meat over a long period of time, but they would also need specially formulated blood and energy replenishing pills at each stage. It was very detailed and far superior to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ¡°Earth Spiritual Body¡± technique.


    The Nine Slaying Technique could perfectly fill the void in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s high-grade Earth Attribute Body Forging Techniques.


    It was a pity though, that it wasn¡¯t the complete version, but perhaps the Shake Mountain Peak only had this much.


    After all, in the Eastern Wasteland, only the Hun Yuan old ancestor had managed to reach the Nascent Soul Formation in the last thousand years. The techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Level were even rarer than Rank-3 Magic Artifacts.


    It was said that after Ji Zhenshi formed his core, he had to mortgage twenty percent of the profits from the Void Dark Stone Mine to Xuan Xiao Corporation, in order to purchase a Body Forging technique that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, each Qingyang Fire Seed contains a different spiritual nature. When you are fusing and refining it, don¡¯t be too hasty.¡±


    Just before leaving, Yue Zutao reminded him again.


    The Qingyang Fire Seed is a heavenly spiritual fire, born during the process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree evolving into a Golden Sun Spirit Tree. As the divine souls of each Spirit Tree are different, every Fire Seed also has different spiritual natures.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, besides the two old Nascent Souls, only three or four people have managed to cultivate the complete ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    Yue Zutao had read their notes left in the Transmission Department, so he knew that the refining of Qingyang Fire Seeds also had to be done step by step, slowly.


    ¡°Thank you for your reminder, senior brother Yue.¡±


    Chen Mobai had obtained the pure Qingyang technique from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which could quickly fuse and refine Qingyang Fire Seeds, but Yue Zutao was kind-hearted, so he thanked him very politely.


    ¡°After cultivating the Qingyang Fire, you can improve the realm of your Red Flame Sword Jue, and then, you can start condensing the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. However, the amount of Green Wood Evil in our Giant Tree Ridge is not much after being refined by the two Core Formation ancestors, and it has always been considered a taboo by the Sword Training Department. Brother Chen, if you want to condense the Sword Sha, you might need to plan for it in advance.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t aware of this until now.


    It was only because Yue Zutao considered him as a close friend that he revealed these matters.


    The next day.


    Chu Zuoshu arranged for Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived at night to hide in the cave of Rolling Thunder Mountain. He intentionally increased the power of the Earth Gold Knife Array to misguide Shake Mountain Peak into thinking that they intended to hold out till the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reinforcements arrived.


    After hesitating for a long time, Ji Dingjin, finally decided to attack when the other three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak arrived with their sect¡¯s reinforcements.


    When they had spent a vast amount of spirit stones to activate the battle array and break through the Earth Gold Knife Array, Chu Zuoshu laughed heartily, and Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect rushed out.


    Even with the number advantage still favoring the cultivators from Rock Country who had received support from Shake Mountain Peak¡¯s headquarters, they had fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    When Ji Dingjin saw Quan Shanlin and the others, he didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately ordered a retreat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But this time, Chu Zuoshu did not miss the great opportunity to pursue them.


    He led twenty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, plus three from Lei Nation, along with the remaining three hundred Qi Practitioners, to chase after the twenty flying boats of Shake Mountain Peak.


    Ji Dingjin, however, was not unworthy of his reputation. He led the three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak, as well as the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Rock Country, and withstood the pursuit of the Divine Wood Sect without collapsing.


    This chase and retreat were extremely fierce.


    A late-stage Foundation Establishment peak master of Shake Mountain Peak, in order to block Chu Zuoshu, challenged him despite the difference in their levels. His fate was miserable. Although his sturdy body withstood seven rounds of Qing Light Impact, he was ultimately shot into a sieve and died, with his Qi and spiritual power exhausted.

 Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_2

    Chapter 431: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_2


    However, the Divine Wood Sect also lost three Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Without Chu Zuoshu blocking, Ji Dingjin, at the risk of severely injuring his elemental energy, exhibited the Void Law Body, shattering the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation that besieged him. The three Penalty Evil Hall Inspectors who were involved in arrays of warfare that had their realms expanded were torn in two on the spot by Ji Dingjin.


    Apart from these three, another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, who was unlucky, was slain by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Rock Country who had concealed his cultivation level.


    The losses on Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s side were even more severe.


    In addition to the Peak Master who was slain by Chu Zuoshu, five Foundation Establishment cultivators also perished.


    The flying boats, bereft of the protection of Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with the over 300 Qi Practitioners from Rock Country inside, naturally also turned into scattered bones and flesh on the vast earth when they were shot down.


    This pursuit continued until it reached the Lei Nation¡¯s territory, and only stopped in front of a third-rank Spiritual Land where Ji Dingjin had already set up a defensive array.


    Chu Zuoshu then, along with cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect and Lei Nation, blocked the entrance to this third-rank Spiritual Land and the large formation for a whole day, until it was completely dark before calling the retreat and returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    ¡°This time we reaped benefits.¡±


    ¡°I killed three late-stage Qi Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re remarkable, I only killed two. Let¡¯s show each other what good stuff we¡¯ve got.¡±


    During the night at Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao sat outside, drinking and listening to the intermittent cheers of less than 200 cultivators from Lei Nation who were excited by the significant spoils of war, their faces each showing different expressions.


    ¡°Even though we won, we lost three senior brothers and one senior sister.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed, drinking all of the newly brewed spiritual wine made by Zhuo Ming in his cup. This was just matured before the expedition, and Zhuo Ming dug it out for him to bring along.


    It just so happened that today¡¯s victory was significant, so Chen Mobai directly opened the whole jar of wine and distributed it to the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.


    This spiritual wine was even more intense than the regular Jade Bud Spirit Wine. The moment it hit the throat it felt like a knife was rolling down, but the exhilaration of blood boiling and the drunkenness surging up immediately after was praised by many.


    Of course, there were also cultivators who abstained from alcohol.


    However, Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai both found a place where they drank happily. After three rounds of wine, they began to speak their true feelings.


    ¡°I can understand my junior brother¡¯s feelings. I didn¡¯t understand war at first either. You might not know this, but when I was accepted as a disciple by the Master, it was done under the name of the Five Element Sect. Even though I was merely a young boy at that time, I witnessed and experienced the bloody carnage of intra-sect battles for twenty years.¡±


    When Yue Zutao said this, there was no change in his expression. During the twenty years of the intra-sect war of the Five Element Sect, his best friend and seven out of the nine disciples from the Chu Zuoshu branch who were higher in rank than him also died.


    From the initial crying, to the subsequent hatred, then to numbness, and finally to the confusion after reconciliation.


    Listening to Yue Zutao recounting his life experiences, Chen Mobai could not help but have another cup of wine.


    ¡°One day, I will put an end to the chaos in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    For the first time in his life, Chen Mobai expressed his aspirations in this world.


    Having lived in the Immortal Gate since childhood, he had never been accustomed to the Tianhe Realm environment, which involved fighting and plundering resources everywhere. If possible, he wanted to use his abilities to end this chaotic era and bring unprecedented peace and tranquility to this disorderly foreign world territory.


    Listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s drunk confession, Yue Zutao¡¯s long quiet heart stirred slightly.


    He looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s serious face, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his wine cup.


    ¡°No wonder your level of understanding in the Sword Dao is so high. Your dao heart, ambition, and aspiration align perfectly with the Way of the Sword Cultivation: brave, diligent, and unstoppable. If you truly achieve your heart¡¯s desire, you may be able to reach the highest realm that Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor regretted not achieving in his lifetime.¡±


    Why the True Monarch of the Past was able to ascend, was because he had quelled the Yellow Dragon monster that had been causing disaster in Yunmeng River for a millennium and hence accumulated great merits.


    The upper echelons of the Five Element Sect know that Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor was actually able to become the first Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness in the last millennium due to his inheritance.


    Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor¡¯s greatest regret before his Nirvana was that he was unable to repay his birthplace by establishing merits like his ascendant master and he was confined to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    The environment of Tianhe Realm makes all the immortal cultivators selfish from the start.


    The Five Element Sect upholds the teachings of the Hun Yuan Ancestor and tries its best to change this trend.


    For this reason, although there are occasional frictions and competitions among the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, in actuality, they are relatively harmonious.


    During Yue Zutao¡¯s time in the Five Elements Sect, his nine senior brothers and sisters took great care of him, the youngest among them. That period was the happiest childhood of Yue Zutao¡¯s life.


    Unfortunately, the joy of those days now only served to amplify the pain of his memories.


    ¡°I drank too much and said things I don¡¯t mean. Brother Yue, please don¡¯t take it to heart,¡± said Chen Mobai who had finally come back to himself.


    The wine Zhuo Ming made seemed to amplify the different emotions in a cultivator¡¯s heart. He drank too much and started to be mumbling about the intensity of the battle and the sacrifices made in the daytime.


    However, Chen Mobai, due to his formidable Divine Sense, had already managed to control the influence of the alcohol. He laughed it off, making Yue Zutao believe that he had merely been babbling due to his drinks.


    ¡°Haha, please, brother,¡± said Yue Zutao, not pushing the matter any further. He presumed Chen Mobai had simply had too much to drink.


    After he put down the wine cup, Yue Zutao couldn¡¯t have enough and reached out for a small jug beside him, pouring it down his throat.


    Chen Mobai stood still, watching in astonishment as Yue Zutao finished the entire jug. Then, flushing deeply, he leaned on a side table and began to sing a nursery rhyme. His eyes were half dreamy, half drunk, and he seemed to be lost in memories. His gaze was vacant.


    ¡°Damn it, did Zhuo Ming make a mistake during the brewing? Is this actually poisoned wine?¡± Chen Mobai thought.


    Heaven forbid! This alarmed Chen Mobai into sobriety. He quickly rushed to Chu Zuoshu and the others. Luckily, they had not lost all reasons despite drinking some.


    Only a few of them seemed to be indulging unreservedly, probably because they were drowning their sorrows over the loss of their fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivator.


    ¡°Come over here. This is a good wine. Let¡¯s have another cup together.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu lifted his wine cup when he saw Chen Mobai, but he and Fu Huakun by his side merely took one sip.


    It seemed that as long as one didn¡¯t drink too much, there wouldn¡¯t be any problem.


    Chen Mobai then realized that this new wine Zhuo Ming brewed was at most of Rank-1. As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could just suppress the alcohol by using their Divine Sense if they didn¡¯t want to get drunk.


    Perhaps Yue Zutao had been overwhelmed with emotion.


    The next day when Chen Mobai woke up sober, he was thanked by many people.


    Because most of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt refreshed after a bout of heavy drinking, they seemed to experience a slight growth in their Divine Senses.


    According to Yue Zutao¡¯s personal testimony, this wine would awaken prematurely some depressing matters in one¡¯s mind, allowing the cultivators to handle them in advance. This significantly reduced the probability of awakening the Heart Demon during a realm breakthrough.


    Chu Zuoshu and the others who knew about this thanked Chen Mobai and ordered the new wine.


    ¡°Junior brother, what is this wine called?¡±


    ¡°This was just a casual brew, without a specific name yet. Brother Yue, do you have a name for it?¡±


    ¡°I now realize it is but a dream, and once awakened, what more to seek? Let¡¯s call it ¡®Realization Wine¡¯.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a good name,¡± Chen Mobai agreed, feeling the name to be apt so he adopted it.


    At this point, Chen Mobai noticed the gourd Yue Zutao was holding. Chen Mobai felt a chill as he looked at it and out of curiosity, he asked, ¡°What is this?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I had great luck this morning. I went to the Qi practitioners¡¯ stalls and saw this gourd of Mysterious Yin Sha. It was what I needed for my Mysterious Yin Thunder Child. Therefore, I spent a hundred Spirit Stones to buy it.¡±


    Mysterious Yin Sha!


    These substances were already protected within the immortal gates and extraction was prohibited.


    Could you really buy it at the stall of a Qi practitioner here!?


    Chen Mobai felt he ought to make the most out of his hard-trained Void Spirit Eye and give consumption in the Rolling Thunder Mountain Fang Market a boost.

 Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Chapter 314: Earth Master_1

    Chapter 432: Chapter 314: Earth Master_1


    As soon as Chen Mobai heard about the Mysterious Yin Sha, he was reminded of the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± he had received from Master Zuo Gong, the head of the Sword Control Department at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    In the Immortal Sect, due to the scarcity of Earth Sha Qi, divine skills like Sword Sha have basically become mere decorations.


    Exactly for this reason, the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± compiled by Zuo Gong and several experts from the Sword Dao Association was purely a display of skill, with no possibility of realization.


    Chen Mobai had been so busy advancing his Pure Yang Scroll cultivation for the past two years that he had almost forgotten about it.


    The Earth Sha Qi is sparse in the Immortal Sect, but it is not the same in the Tianhe Realm.


    Hearing that Chen Mobai was interested, Yue Zutao, who happened to be free, took him for a stroll at the newly opened Fang Market of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Although more than a hundred cultivators of Lei Nation were lost in the two wars, those who survived made quite a fortune.


    Sane loose cultivators were already thinking about opting out of this war, as selling all the magic artifacts, pills, and materials they had would yield enough spirit stones for them to cultivate for several or even ten years.


    The two sect wars had too many uncertainties. When a loose cultivator was faced with poverty, they would dare to risk everything.


    But now that they have accumulated a small fortune, they have started to value their lives and think about exchanging all the resources gained from the war into spirit stones and fleeing from the mountain.


    However, because of this, starting from last night, many good things that the Qi Practitioners at Rolling Thunder Mountain had put up for sale attracted many Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Yue Zutao was a bit late, but he still bought the valuable Mysterious Yin Sha.


    By the time Chen Mobai started shopping, most of the Rank-2 spiritual objects had been snapped up.


    After all, no matter how much a Qi Practitioner earned, it couldn¡¯t compare to what a Foundation Establishment cultivator got.


    While strolling in the market, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao bumped into two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect who had also received the news. The four of them greeted each other with a glance and then began to look for bargains on their own.


    None of them revealed their identities, as being known as a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the Qi Practitioners would certainly lead to a price increase for the goods they were eyeing.


    Chen Mobai also noticed that many Qi practitioners wearing masks, large bamboo hats, or other things to conceal their faces were for sale or browsing. Some even used a disguise technique to disguise themselves as entirely different people.


    However, this is just the way of loose cultivators. The core principle is not to flaunt wealth.


    If wealth is to be flaunted, change your face and name.


    If wealth has been revealed, run away immediately.


    Reminded by Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai also wore a fish scale mask, which reminded him of the scene when he swept across the four major Daoist academies in Little Red Sky and then battled in Crimson City.


    All of this was due to the troubles of fame.


    The two mixed with the crowd, looking at the stalls on both sides filled with various magic artifacts, pills, and unknown spiritual objects. Each Qi Practitioner would stop, pick up something they were interested in, compare it with others, negotiate a little, and then make the transaction.


    ¡°Now each Qi Practitioner has some nice things and a pretty good fortune. They are eager to leave the battlefield, so if they see something they need, they usually don¡¯t waste time and buy it directly.¡±


    Yue Zutao whispered to Chen Mobai, who was next to him.


    As they walked along, they saw many magic artifacts and spirit talismans being sold at low prices.


    However, the pills were the most popular commodities. Those produced by Back to Sky Valley were all snapped up, and those marked with the logos of the seven major factions in the Eastern Wilderness also attracted a number of people.


    However, it takes some experience to buy good pills, so the loose cultivators were still carefully identifying them.


    ¡°The prices of magic artifacts and spirit talismans have dropped a lot, haven¡¯t they?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the prices. Due to the two sect wars, the prices of these two items had been rising and were usually sold at a premium of twenty to thirty percent.


    But now, the situation had completely reversed.


    Probably because so many people had died, everyone had more magic artifacts than they were allowed and thought of using them to secure spirit stones, pills, and other resources.


    An influx of sellers naturally brought the prices down.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found they were all Rank-1 magic artifacts. Occasionally, there were some high-quality ones, but they were all useless to him and Yue Zutao.


    ¡°I found the Mysterious Yin Sha over there.¡±


    At this moment, Yue Zutao suddenly stopped. He pointed at a stall not far away, whispering to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai nodded, understanding his hint, and walked over there alone.


    The stall owner was a seemingly honest middle-aged man. He had a yellow skin gourd, a jade vial, a bronze kettle, and other objects containing various Sha Qis on a blanket. He also had several books, six or seven pieces of mineral rocks, and two ordinary lower-grade Rank-1 magic artifacts, barely filling the entire stall.


    Surprisingly, there were even price tags in front of each item.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mysterious Yin Sha, Fire Yang Sha, Clear Wind Sha, Tao Hua Sha, Grey Boulder, Ice Blue Jade, Fiery Copper Mine, Green Mist Stone¡­


    However, the place marked for Mysterious Yin Sha had been vacated, apparently bought by Yue Zutao.


    Earth Sha Qi is actually a higher-level spiritual energy, but because it contains some essence of the universe, ordinary cultivators could not refine it into their bodies.


    Only those who practice special cultivation techniques or require it for artifact refining could refine, extract or use it.


    Yue Zutao purchased it because Mysterious Yin Sha could be used to refine a kind of Yin Thunder.

 Chapter 433 - Chapter 433: Chapter 314: Earth Master_2

    Chapter 433: Chapter 314: Earth Master_2


    As for the remaining types of Evil Qi, as they were of no use to him, he naturally wouldn¡¯t buy them.


    After all, the use of Earthly Qi is limited, and Yue Zutao¡¯s cultivation level has been locked, so he couldn¡¯t make use of these things for the time being.


    [This person must be an Earth Master.]


    Chen Mobai took a look at the items on the stall and made a judgement.


    Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, Earth Masters were the fewest in number. Not only was this craft extremely difficult to master, but also, the mineral spirit veins and Earthly Evil Qi within the immortal sects had been fully explored, leaving no future prospects.


    However, in the vast and abundant Tianhe Realm, Earth Masters still played significant roles.


    Ji Zhenshi, the elder of Mountain Shaker Peak, was the only Rank-4 Earth Master in the Eastern Wilderness. Probably due to the fact that he started with a Void Mysterious Stone Mine, he went to the big commercial association for further study in this skill after Core Formation, hoping to discover more valuable mineral veins.


    The Divine Wood Sect established a special agency for Earth Masters too.


    In addition to finding Spirit Stone Mines, they also searched all over the Eastern Wilderness for various rare mineral veins. So when Void Stone Mine was found, Zhou Shengqing immediately sent Ma Gang, the head of the agency, over.


    ¡°What are these things? How much do they cost?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°These are Earthly Evil Qi and some mineral crystals. I killed an Earth Master on the battlefield and picked up his storage bag. There¡¯s also this set of Earth Master heritage books. If you need it, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price.¡±


    The owner of the stall spoke the truth, leaving Chen Mobai speechless for a moment.


    However, he quickly realized that it was normal for things to be acquired this way. There was no Earth Master who would specifically come to the battlefield to do business.


    It was a pity that the Earth Master who was killed by the stall owner was probably a key training target of Shake Mountain.


    Being able to refine Mysterious Yin Sha and Fire Yang Evil, according to the local standard, he was already a Rank-2 Earth Master. But he died on this battlefield, his skills and savings taken advantage of others.


    ¡°Friend, Fire Yang Evil is a hundred spirit stones, Clear Wind Evil and Peach Blossom Evil are twenty each. If you buy Fire Yang Evil, I¡¯ll give you a piece of mineral for free. You can pick it yourself.¡±


    The stall owner seemed anxious to dispose of these items, and pointed at the various colored ores on the stall during the conversion.


    For Earth Masters, these things were worth studying, but for loose cultivators, they were just ordinary materials for Artifact Refining.


    Placed in other markets, they might only be worth a few spirit stones.


    ¡°Hmm, let me take a look first.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the things and opened his Void Spirit Eye to take a casual look. He was somewhat surprised.


    How come the spiritual light contained in these ores is so lush?


    He used his three years of ore recognition skills learned in Dance Tool Dao Academy to identify a few ores on the stall, and he immediately spotted something off about four of them.


    ¡°How much for the Earth Master inheritance?¡±


    After Chen Mobai put down the ores, he picked up the Yellow Skin Gourd containing the Fire Yang Evil. But suddenly, he asked about the three books on the stall.


    ¡°This one, as you know, in the Eastern Wilderness, the value of cultivation techniques and Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal are untold treasures. Moreover, this is a complete inheritance book for a Rank-1 to Rank-2 Earth Master¡­¡±


    ¡°Just name your price. I¡¯m in a hurry to leave.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately interrupted, seemingly ¡°impatient¡±. The stall owner immediately stretched out a finger.


    ¡°One hundred spirit stones?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in surprise. But the stall owner just smiled and shook his head.


    ¡°One thousand! Why don¡¯t you just rob me? Earth Master is only nurtured by Shake Mountain and I¡¯m just curious and want to expand my skills. If you¡¯re not sincere, forget it. I¡¯ll take these three types of Evil Qi. Give me this ore, that¡¯s it.¡±


    The stall owner was a bit surprised to hear that Chen Mobai wanted to buy so much. Fearing he might lose a big customer, he immediately stood up, indicating that the price could still be negotiated.


    ¡°All these things are bundled together for 140 spirit stones, I don¡¯t want any others.¡±


    Chen Mobai just shook his head forcefully, indicating that he couldn¡¯t afford the Earth Master inheritance.


    ¡°900 spirit stones, if you buy it, I will give you these Evil Qi and ores for free. Consider it funding for your Earth Master inheritance study.¡±


    ¡°200.¡±


    ¡°800, can¡¯t be less.¡±


    ¡°300, that¡¯s all I have on me.¡±


    ¡­n


    After some bargaining, Chen Mobai eventually purchased everything on the stall except for the two magic artifacts for 650 spirit stones.


    After receiving the Spirit Stone, the stall owner, apparently afraid that Chen Mobai would change his mind, immediately packed up his stall and left the Fang Market.


    ¡°Is Junior Brother Chen actually interested in the Earth Master¡¯s inheritance?¡±


    Yue Zutao, who was not far away, witnessed all this and couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly surprised.


    ¡°I just want to learn a bit about the Shake Mountain Peak. Besides, I will need to understand the knowledge of the evil Qi of Earth Sha in the future when I am practicing the Green Flames Sword Sha, so I bought it.¡±


    The two people continued to stroll around the market, and Yue Zutao found a pair of ox horns and bought them. They were made of Rank-2 material. If an outstanding Artifact Refiner were to refine them, it might be possible to create a Rank-2 magic artifact.¡±


    As Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye, he also discovered some good items, but they were all useless to him.


    However, he was already very satisfied with his harvest today.


    After parting with Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai returned to his room and started to closely examine the things he bought today.


    First, he opened the Yellow Skin Gourd, which contained the Fire Yang Sha, already identified. Strands of dark red Qi were revolving within the gourd, giving off a faintly discernible wave of heat.


    The Primordial Yang Sword Secret in Pure Yang Academy contains a method for condensing the Fire Yang Sha. The resulting ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Sha¡± is powerful and one of the highest-quality Sword Shas in the Immortal Sect.


    However, within the Immortal Sect, even Nangong Xuanyu, the principal of Pure Yang Academy, has managed to condense only nine forms of Primordial Yang Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai weighed the Fire Yang Sha in the gourd and felt that it should be enough to condense one form of the Primordial Yang Sword Sha.


    He planned to download the Primordial Yang Sword Sha¡¯s condensation method once he returned.


    If it¡¯s simple, he would spend some time condensing one.


    The method of Sword Sha is a genuine Rank-3 technique.


    Therefore, if one can condense Sword Sha at the Foundation Building Realm, only a Gold Core could subdue it, otherwise, no one could.


    Compared to Fire Yang Sha, the Clear Wind Sha and Peach Blossom Sha are just Rank-1 Earth Sha Qi, and their values have greatly decreased.


    However, his Red Misty Cloud Silk can be refined with Clear Wind Sha to upgrade.


    As for the Peach Blossom Sha, could it be refined into Zhuo Ming¡¯s Five Transformations Umbrella and enhance the power of the magic artifact?


    He didn¡¯t know when Ming Yuhua would be back. Among Chen Mobai¡¯s friends, only this good brother was an Artifact Refiner, and he was very skilled, capable of accomplishing this task.


    After inspecting all three kinds of Evil Qi, Chen Mobai took a deep breath.


    Then, he took out those seven pieces of differently colored ores.


    Activating his Void Spirit Eye, he began to examine them closely.


    Three of them turned out to be normal, which he selected and put aside.


    But the other four- the Grey Boulder, Ice Blue Jade, Fiery Copper Mine, and Green Mist Stone, under the view of his Void Spirit Eye had their surface disguises stripped away.


    Chen Mobai saw the rich Spiritual Light deep within.


    They were actually four Evil Qi Crystals!


    If the Earth Sha Qi becomes extremely dense and refined, it will form crystals, this is something that only Rank-3 Earth Masters can do.


    Which Rank-3 Earth Master did that stall owner kill?


    Chen Mobai wondered in his heart. Rank-3 Earth Masters are well-known and most of them are Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Qi Practitioners should not be able to kill them.


    But now is not the time to think about these things. Chen Mobai reached out with his fingers and touched the surface of the five Evil Qi Crystals.


    Once the surface seal of these things is broken, the originally stable Evil Qi will gush out and need to be thoroughly refined and fused in a short period of time.


    He doesn¡¯t need them now, so naturally he won¡¯t break the seal.


    However, he should be able to sense what kind of Evil Qi it is. After all, he had studied it deeply in the Daoist Academy for credits.


    Thousand Rock Sha, Profound Ice Sha, Red Copper Sha, Jade Green Sha.


    After identifying them, Chen Mobai¡¯s face seemed to slightly change.

    The Mysterious Yin Sha and Fire Yang Sha are both Yin and Yang properties.


    And these four types of Evil Qi Crystals, are nearly a complete set of the Five Elements.


    Although it¡¯s very common for Earth Masters to gather Earth Sha Qi and ores, the collection of seven Rank-2 Earth Shas Qi, coincidentally of the Yin Yang and Five Elements is a bit abnormal.


    Who exactly did this stall owner kill?


    Holding onto this question, Chen Mobai started studying the three Earth Master inheritance books.

 Chapter 434 - Chapter 434: Chapter 315: Yield to None_1

    Chapter 434: Chapter 315: Yield to None_1


    After reading the book of Earth Master¡¯s legacy, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nodded subtly in approval.


    The Shake Mountain lineage, renowned for their body forging and Earth Master techniques in the Eastern Wilderness, indeed held unique merits.


    Although they couldn¡¯t compare to the Immortal Sects, they had, under limited conditions, clarified various terrain veins, speculated on the mysterious origin of natural spiritual objects, and the chi of Earth Sha. They even provided accompanying illustrations, depicting the geographical features and water element veins.


    Unfortunately, these three books of Earth Master¡¯s heritage only encompassed the content from rank-1 to rank-2, with only conjectures regarding the subsequent advancement course.


    Branded with the Dao of the earth onto the Purple Palace, augmented by the mountains and rivers, standing atop the vast earth, I am the nexus of the earth¡¯s veins. My spiritual power is boundless and inexhaustible.


    Doesn¡¯t this feel a bit like refining arrays into the body?


    Upon finishing the book, Chen Mobai thought of the Underworld Array he acquired back in the Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, Earth Masters and Array Masters have always had similar professions. There is a saying in the sects that the ultimate goal of an Earth Master is to become an Array Master.


    After reading the three books of Earth Master¡¯s heritage, Chen Mobai found a line of small print in the corner.


    [Disciple Song Xishun pays his respects and thanks to his master.]


    Who is Song Xishun?


    Chen Mobai did not recognize the name.


    However, at least he now had a lead to follow. If given the opportunity in the future, he could investigate this name.


    Finishing the last page, Chen Mobai closed the book.


    ¡°Master, your disciple seeks an audience.¡±


    It was just a coincidence. At that time, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan arrived with the army of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Upon landing, they naturally came to meet their teacher, Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Seeing his two disciples, Chen Mobai revealed a smile.


    ¡°Master, you wielded your sword¡¯s might brilliantly, cutting down the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak. We have heard all about your heroics as the sect¡¯s greatest sword cultivator on our journey here. It stirred our blood.¡±


    Upon entering, Luo Yixuan¡¯s refined little face was filled with admiration and respect. The brightness in her eyes shone with adoration and pride, instilling a sense of vanity in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s just a mere title. Brother Xie from the Sword Training Department also became a master of Sword Light. He is even attempting to condense Sword Demons. The title of number one sword cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect shouldn¡¯t belong to your master.¡±


    Despite being young, Chen Mobai remained calm, refusing to be blinded by his disciples¡¯ praise, and stayed humble in his speech.


    ¡°Master, this is the letter Uncle E Yun sent to you.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed a letter to Chen Mobai, who took it and gave a subtle nod after reading it.


    With the war between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, it was natural to consolidate their forces to avoid being ambushed by other hidden enemies. E Yun and other Foundation Establishment cultivators who had initially opened offices in Yun Meng Ze were most likely to be reassigned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    In E Yun¡¯s letter, he briefly mentioned the overall situation within the sect, and subtly said at the end.


    Old Ancestor Fu has also left Yun Meng Ze.


    Whether he has returned to Giant Tree Ridge or joined Elder Zhou to fight Ji Zhenshi, no one knows.


    After reading the letter, Chen Mobai immediately burned it.


    Information about a Core Formation cultivator capable of changing the battlefield dynamics is better known by fewer people.


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous on the battlefield. Even though you are my disciples, it would be hard for me to take care of both of you during fights. Use these two magic artifacts to protect yourselves. My only requirement is that you keep yourself safe and then find a way to contribute to the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the Divine Wood Sword from his storage pouch and removed his own Green Scale Arm Guard. These two artifacts were no longer of much use to him.


    Moreover, after revealing the rank-3 magic artifact, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Shake Mountain were avoiding him. For this reason, in the previous pursuit battle, he only assisted a fellow sect cultivator in killing one opponent.


    ¡°Master, these are too precious.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were reluctant to accept. After all, both the Divine Wood Sword and the Green Scale Arm Guard were rank-2 magic artifacts.


    ¡°They¡¯ll help protect your lives. Take them for now, and return them to me after the war.¡±


    Although he said that, Chen Mobai had already decided to give the two artifacts to his disciples.


    He gained fame during this war and The Divine Wood Sword was no longer a deceptive trick to his opponents.


    Although Chen Mobai liked the Green Scale Arm Guard, a defensive artifact, to be honest, it was slightly behind his current stage.


    The arm guard was destroyed by Mu Hanxiong during the fight in Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Furthermore, Chen Mobai possessed the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, a rank-3 magical artifact. Although it was more offensive, it also provided a defensive Profound Yang Divine Light Shield.


    Chen Mobai also had the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. From a defense perspective, the Green Scale Arm Guard was indeed of little use to him now.

    ¡°Disciple dreams of becoming a sword cultivator like Master, I¡¯ll take the Divine Wood Sword.¡±


    Luo Yixuan spoke first, choosing the Divine Wood Sword. She was clever and knew that the Green Scale Arm Guard was a gift from Liu Wenbo¡¯s family to Chen Mobai as a teacher¡¯s gift. It made sense for her older disciple brother to take it back.


    Moreover, for the same grade of magic artifact, the defensive ones are pricier than the offensive ones. Liu Wenbo, as the eldest disciple, had to show magnanimity in front of Chen Mobai, their teacher. He would most likely offer the Green Scale Arm Guard to his newly entered junior sister.


    So, Luo Yixuan simply chose the Divine Wood Sword to prevent Liu Wenbo from facing a difficult choice.


    After listening, Chen Mobai immediately nodded at his clever and beautiful little disciple with an approving look.

 Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Chapter 315: Unyielding Generosity_2

    Chapter 435: Chapter 315: Unyielding Generosity_2


    ¡°The Green Scale Arm Guard was damaged and some of the scales shattered when you clashed with Mu Hanxiong. Wen Bo, you need to exercise some caution when using it. Do you have the method to nurture and practice it?¡±


    ¡°I am in need of your instruction, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo truly had no idea how to nurture and practice the Green Scale Arm Guard. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head at the insular nature of knowledge in the Tianhe Realm.


    It must be remembered that Liu Wenbo is a member of the Liu family.


    ¡°Master, I will take my leave now.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to impart the method of nurturing and practicing, Luo Yixuan, a habitually obedient disciple, began to excuse herself.


    In the Tianhe Realm, when a master imparts teachings to one disciple, other disciples are not allowed to be present. Being present would be considered stealing knowledge.


    ¡°Xuan, stay behind. I need to teach you the method to nurture your Divine Wood Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, did not hold such reservations.


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan lifted her little delicate face in surprise, but she was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.


    This indicated that her master truly considered her as one of his own, treating her the same way as Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.


    The method to nurture and practice the Green Scale Arm Guard was quickly grasped by Liu Wenbo, as their family constructed the magic artifact. Chen Mobai also shared some of his own experiences in using it.


    The Divine Wood Sword was even simpler. After all, it was a standard rank-2 magic artifact of the Divine Wood Sect.


    If the disciples in the artifact refining section want to become Rank-2 Artifact Refiners, the simplest way is to refine a Divine Wood Sword.


    The method is simple, and the raw materials are plentiful.


    However, as the most famous Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had his own techniques for using the Divine Wood Sword.


    In the course of teaching them the nurturing method, he also gave a lesson to his two disciples.


    After listening, both Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbo found their enlightenment.


    ¡°Master, are you studying the heritage of the Earth Master?¡±


    After the teaching was finished, upon seeing the Earth Master¡¯s heritage book on the table in front of Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t help but ask out of curiosity.


    ¡°I am somewhat interested. Ming has a decent Earth Spirit Root. If she has time in the future, she can dive deep into it.¡±


    As Chen Mobai said this, noticing his younger disciple¡¯s apparent interest, he gave her the three Earth Master heritage books without further thought.


    ¡°You can take a look first, and give it directly to Ming after going back to Xiao Nanshan. If she is interested, she can use it as a reference for study. If she doesn¡¯t have time, she should cultivate the Mother Earth Cultivation by focusing on farming.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Luo Yixuan immediately took the three Earth Master heritage books into her hands and began flipping through them. Her eyes sparkled with unprecedented joy.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the thirst for knowledge among cultivators even surpasses their desire for magic artifacts.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s family, the Luo family, is a prominent cultivator household, but only the heritage of the Spirit Beasts Master and the Spirit Plant Master have reached Rank-2, which are the top secret techniques of the family. Only a few elders and core male members of the family are allowed to cultivate it.


    In the eyes of cultivator families, females are meant to be married off and absolutely cannot be taught the family¡¯s core cultivation arts.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, if one wants to obtain a Rank-2 cultivator¡¯s art heritage, they need to first join the twelve divisions, then accumulate contribution to the sect. After passing the relevant tests, an Establishment Foundation cultivator from the upper echelons has to sign for approval before they can access the Book Pavilion.


    Now, Luo Yixuan was able to obtain the Rank-2 Earth Master¡¯s heritage as if she was dreaming.


    She deeply felt that joining Xiao Nanshan was the best decision of her life.


    ¡°By the way, these Earth Master heritage books are spoils of war, and you could help me to check this Song Xishun. Find out if there is such a person in Shake Mountain and his master¡¯s lineage.¡±


    ¡°If there is any task at hand, let the disciples take up the labor. Luo Yixuan took the Earth Master¡¯s heritage book with her, so let her do this small task as well.¡± Naturally, Luo Yixuan nodded quickly.


    Liu Wenbo, who was at one side, also promised to pay attention.


    Chen Mobai then told them that there were many good things in the Fang Market, and the two of them could buy the items they needed according to the situation.


    Once the two disciples left, Chen Mobai also went out to participate in the mobilization meeting which was held after the arrival of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s main force.


    Chu Zuoshu naturally took the lead, seated in the top position. On either side of him were Quan Shanlin from the Penalty Evil Hall, and Xie Yuntian, the head of the sword training division.


    When Chen Mobai entered, he noticed Xie Yuntian assessing him. When he looked back, the latter nodded slightly.


    Xie Yuntian was neither tall nor thin, nor fat nor short. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were sharp and his posture upright, conveying an imposing sense of mastery not unlike a deep sea or an imposing peak.


    Before Chen Mobai, he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect who had formed a Sword Light, making him referred to as the third person of the Divine Wood Sect.


    This third person could either refer to the third Foundation Establishment cultivator behind Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu or the third powerhouse of the Divine Wood Sect after the two old ancestors.


    At a mobilization meeting, Chu Zuoshu outlined the upcoming battle plans.


    That is to break into Rock Country and plunder their Spirit Stone Mines.


    Although Rock Country had scant forest vegetation, it was rich in various mineral resources and spiritual objects.


    In addition to the precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine, there are five Spirit Stone Mines of different sizes.


    Presumably, due to the Earth Veins, there are two mines not far from the border of Rock Country that is close to Lei Nation.


    It was also for this reason that even though Mountain Shaker Peak struck Spirit Stone Mine at Rolling Thunder Mountain and initially coveted it, they did not lose their reason and attacked directly.


    Because a hundred miles away, they were mining another small mine whose scale was ten times greater.


    This Spirit Stone Mine could provide over a million Spirit Stones in revenue for Mountain Shaker Peak each year.


    It was also one of the lifelines of Mountain Shaker Peak, and if it could be captured, then it would be a complete victory for the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin¡¯s gang has retreated to that miniature Spirit Stone Mine. If we want to attack the small Spirit Stone Mine behind them, we must first clear out these cultivators.¡±


    In the simple house of Rolling Thunder Mountain, Weng Chuanyou, deputy head of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Department, used his magic artifact to display the nearby mountainous terrain, pointing at the spiritual land that Ji Dingjin and other cultivators from Rock Country were defending.


    ¡°Their number of cultivators is not much different from ours. If we force to attack a Rank-3 Large Formation, we can¡¯t do it without a Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    Quan Shanlin analyzed the power of both sides calmly.


    ¡°I remember there¡¯s a Rank-3 Bead that Breaks Meridians in the sect.¡±


    Fu Huakun spoke up, as keeper of the sect¡¯s treasury in Reward Virtue Hall, he was very clear about the sect¡¯s resources.


    ¡°The Bead that Breaks Meridians is precious, and it¡¯s unnecessary to use it here.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was the one speaking this time, although conquering Mountain Shaker Peak was a great achievement, once the Bead that Breaks Meridians was activated, the Spirit Stone Mine would essentially be abandoned. Even if it were to be conditioned by an Earth Master, it would take decades to recover.


    ¡°If we try to grind it down, it will probably take a few months to break the formation.¡±


    Xie Yuntian frowned and spoken, long-term warfare would be extremely challenging for the sect¡¯s logistics.


    This time he led 1,200 Qi Cultivation disciples, driving fifty airships. Among the airships, fifteen were fully loaded with consumables such as spirit stones, talismans, medicinal pills, and Spirit Rice, but they would only last for up to six months at best.


    If they could conquer the two Spirit Stone Mines, the income would naturally offset the expenses. However, if they were unable to succeed, not only would the sect¡¯s resources be wasted, but many cultivators might also lose their lives.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the sect has made plans for this. Brother Weng is here for this very reason.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was nonplussed, speaking out the decision that the upper echelons had discussed before the war began.


    ¡°We¡¯ll send a small team deep into Rock Country, where Brother Weng will set up a Small Teleportation Array. Our army will then bypass Ji Dingjin¡¯s defense and go straight for the Spirit Stone Mines.¡±


    When Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, everyone praised the idea.


    ¡°Setting up the Teleportation Array requires a Rank-3 Array Master, a considerable amount of Void Stones, and some time to connect to the Earth Veins. Therefore, Brother Weng is key here. We can¡¯t have many people to guard him, they must be the best.¡±


    When he said this, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Chen Mobai.


    Among the Divine Wood Sect cultivators present, they were reluctant to admit that the youngest junior brother who had a Rank-3 Magic Artifact and had formed a Sword Light was the most elite Foundation Establishment cultivator in the room.


    ¡°Is Junior Brother Chen willing to do it?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu asked very politely.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai glanced at the sand table of the terrain, guessed that the small Spirit Stone Mine where the Teleportation Array was to be set up was no more than a hundred miles away from Rolling Thunder Mountain, and was within the range of the Short Teleportation Talisman.


    Knowing that his retreat could be guaranteed, he decisively said four words.


    ¡°I found it amenable!¡±


    When everyone heard it, they all admired him.


    They thought, indeed, such is the character of a Sword Cultivator, fearlessly forging ahead.

 Chapter 436 - Chapter 436: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_1

    Chapter 436: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_1


    Soon, the team¡¯s roster was finalized.


    In addition to Chen Mobai and Weng Chuanyou, there was Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall, and Xi Yisheng from the sword training department, all of whom were cultivators at the intermediate Foundation Establishment stage.


    Among them, Xi Yisheng was the grandfather of Chen Mobai¡¯s good friend Xi Jinghuo. However, Xi Jinghuo and other friends did not come this time. They were led by another Foundation Establishment cultivator of the school, and went to the border area near Snow Country and Wind Country to avoid being attacked from behind by Liu Jia Mountain and Snow-blowing Palace.


    After they had bid farewell to the three team members, they went back to prepare. They agreed to enter Rock Country by a roundabout route when Chu Zuoshu led the Divine Wood Sect army to attack Ji Dingjin the next day.


    After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators could fly. As long as they were willing to spend time, a small group could easily infiltrate in.


    ¡­


    In the small western-style building of the student council, Hua Zijing was leading Zhuang Jialan to process various documents. Compared with the former¡¯s smooth actions, the latter was in a mess, but this was due to a lack of experience. Mistakes would naturally correct themselves over time.


    Ding Ding Ding!


    Just then, the telephone on the table began to ring. The type they used between their offices was still the old-fashioned landline.


    Hua Zijing picked it up and heard Chen Mobai¡¯s voice, her face full of surprise.


    ¡°What a rare visitor, I haven¡¯t seen you for two or three months.¡±


    Three minutes later, she went upstairs and knocked on the door of the president¡¯s office. Seeing Chen Mobai sitting in the boss¡¯s chair, stroking a white cat with squinting eyes and an unwilling face, she made a tsking noise.


    ¡°Here I am. By the way, can you contact senior Jing Zuyin? I want to buy an unused Short Teleportation Talisman.¡±


    ¡°Okay, is this why you¡¯re here?¡±


    Hua Zijing nodded, raising her brows slightly with a hint of dissatisfaction. Her displeased tone as she crossed her arms over her chest emphasized her curves, causing Chen Mobai to feel a little awkward as he looked at her leaning against the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind Hua Zijing¡¯s expressions, and lowered his head to continue stroking the cat, asking directly.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the director tell you? At the end of the year, you are going to lead a team to the Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°What for¡­ Ah, it should not be for the exchange meetings managed by the Daoist Academy, we already have the Little Red Sky, why waste manpower and materials to go offline!¡±


    Chen Mobai replied halfway before he realized, somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°Humph, isn¡¯t it because you are so domineering in the Little Red Sky. But those in the late Foundation Establishment stage couldn¡¯t catch up with you. Because some people hate you too much, they want to suppress our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s score in the Little Red Sky. Under the promotion of Pure Yang Academy, the majority agreed to hold this offline exchange meeting.¡±


    When Hua Zijing mentioned this, her face was full of resentment. She felt disdain for the other Daoist Academy¡¯s way of dealing directly with physical confrontations offline since they could not win in Little Red Sky.


    ¡°In the Daoist Academy exchange, people like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu who have graduated long ago shouldn¡¯t be able to participate, right?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was also somewhat shocked, and he immediately inquired about his two biggest enemies within the sect.


    He could rule the realms of the early and mid-Foundation Establishment, but he didn¡¯t have any confidence when it came to dealing with these two former chiefs of Pure Yang Academy, who had also cultivated the Divinity Transformation Method.


    Offline exchanges are unlike those in Little Red Sky. When Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have the advantage in the magic artifact and cultivation realm, even if he confronts the chiefs of the other three Daoist Academies, it would be a tough fight.


    ¡°According to past rules, they cannot participate. However, they hate you so much that they will definitely find ways to get in. Only by defeating you can they achieve an inner perfection and reach a higher realm.¡±


    Hua Zijing shrugged, and her fluctuating curves made Chen Mobai, who had just raised his head, lowered it again to stroke the cat.


    ¡°However, since you brought so much glory to our Daoist Academy in Little Red Sky, even if you fail in the offline exchange, the teachers and students of our Daoist Academy will understand.¡±


    Upon hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s seemingly comforting words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes showed a bit of unwillingness.


    Although he had little chance of winning against the chiefs of the other three Daoist Academies,


    But they have not fought yet, and you all take it for granted that I will lose. This made Chen Mobai, who had not tasted defeat in the same realm since his debut, extremely unconvinced.


    Who knows, at the end of the year, the president here will use the perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation level to suppress all the chiefs of the Daoist Academies and make them unable to lift their heads.


    ¡°By the way, I heard that you have a girlfriend in Jumang Daoist Academy. If you lose in front of her, you might feel a bit embarrassed. Do you want to think of a way to get her out of there in advance?¡±


    At this point, Hua Zijing said something that made Chen Mobai confused.


    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®a girlfriend¡¯? It¡¯s as if I have many! Are you talking about Qing Nu? She and I are just friends.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Chen Mobai is aware of the false rumors circulating online that he¡¯s an irresponsible man. He never expected that even Hua Zijing, who is usually calm and wise, would be affected by these rumors. He felt it necessary to clarify things.


    ¡°I wish to formally announce that I am single, devoted to cultivating my Pure Yang body, and am a pure and sincere sword cultivator dedicated to Sword Dao. Until I have achieved success in Dao, I will definitely not be distracted by love.¡±


    After finishing these words, Hua Zijing made a face, indicating that she understood.


    But from her expression, Chen Mobai knew that she definitely didn¡¯t believe him.


    In that moment, his heart was icy cold. There was nothing he could say to change her mind, leaving Chen Mobai feeling disappointed and continuing to stroke the cat.

 Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_2

    Chapter 437: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_2


    Luckily, Jing Zuyin arrived at that moment.


    Chen Mobai offered him two hundred and fifty thousand Good Deed Points, which was the market value of the Short Teleportation Talisman, but Jing Zuyin didn¡¯t accept them. Instead, he wanted to exchange them for an equal value of Rank-2 talisman paper and ink.


    Jing Zuyin had heard that Chen Mobai owned a talisman factory where the quality of the talisman paper and ink was quite good. As he was a dedicated monk who concentrated on cultivation in the Treasure Trove, he had not been willing to go out since he created a Rank-2 top-grade inkstone at the end of last year.


    However, the talisman paper and ink were consumables that needed to be replenished, so he planned to seize this opportunity to stock up in one go.


    As for this, Chen Mobai naturally agreed.


    He pulled out from the drawer, which in fact meant taking out the talisman paper and ink from his storage bag, and even gave some extra to Jing Zuyin.


    With the guests now pleased, Hua Zijing, who acted as the intermediary, also displayed a smile.


    Having obtained the Short Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai, taking advantage of her not having reacted yet, quickly made his escape.


    When Hua Zijing came to the third floor again with Zhuang Jialan, who held a stack of documents, intending to have Chen Mobai sign them, she found the president¡¯s office was empty. She was so mad that she broke the pen in her hand.


    Because of this, Chen Mobai felt a bit sorry for Hua Zijing.


    However, given that he was currently on a battlefield and the situation there was even more urgent than at the Daoist Academy, he had no other choice.


    When he returned, Chen Mobai was about to set the Short Teleportation Talisman at the Rolling Thunder Mountain, but then he thought that if it really needed to be used, his sudden appearance without an explanation for Chu Zuoshu and others would not do.


    He did not want to reveal any traces of the Immortal Gate.


    After considering all that, Chen Mobai went down the mountain and set the teleportation point of the Short Teleportation Talisman in a deserted hill a few kilometers away from the Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    For concealment, he used his flying sword to create a cave dwelling inside the deserted hill, where the teleportation point was set.


    The next day.


    As he watched the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners stepping onto the massive airships floating mid-air, Chen Mobai waved to his two disciples beside him, gesturing for them to follow.


    ¡°Disciple will certainly not disgrace Master.¡±


    Both disciples had resolute expressions as they prepared to leave, but Chen Mobai once again instructed them to prioritize their safety.


    Seeing the overwhelming Qi army of the Divine Wood Sect and the spectacular fleet of airships floating mid-air, the Loose Cultivators of Lei Nation, who were originally planning to sell their spoils of war and then leave, were enticed by this sight. Gritting their teeth, they surprisingly also stepped onto the ships.


    Chu Zuoshu was pleased to see this. However, in order to prevent the Loose Cultivators from causing chaos and disrupting order, he had Lian Chenghai and two others lead the Lei Nation cultivator army onto two airships that were empty after transporting materials.


    ¡°Let¡¯s set off too.¡±


    As the thirty-eight airships disappeared from their sight, Weng Chuanyou turned to Chen Mobai and the others next to him and said.


    Of course, Weng Chuanyou, the Deputy Head of the Spirit Vein Department and a Rank-3 Array Master, was leading the group.


    Whether in terms of identity, qualifications, or cultivation level, Weng Chuanyou was the undisputed leader.


    He pulled out a leaf, which, in the wind, transformed into a small flying artifact.


    After the four of them got on, they concealed their figures and flew towards the Rock Country.


    On the frontline battlefield.


    Standing within the Rank-3 Large Formation, Ji Dingjin looked through the protective shield at Chu Zuoshu in the air outside. When their gazes met, sparks seemed to burst in the void.


    In an instant, thousands of spells, working in tandem with the Battle Array, came pouring down.


    Dozens of thick and clear light columns, like divine swords reaching the sky, erupted from the airships, engulfing the spiritual energy in the sky. It was as if Immortals were waving their swords, aiming their attacks at the earthen-yellow cloud layer shield that enveloped the entire Rank-3 Spiritual Land.


    The thirty-six airships could perfectly demonstrate the power of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, which the Divine Wood Sect was particularly proficient in.


    The attack of the ¡°Everlasting Life Sutra¡± was general, but the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± was an exception.


    After a round of twelve Sacred Tree Divine Lights, a breach was opened in the Rank-3 Yellow Earth Sand Dance Formation.


    However, Chu Zuoshu did not rush to send people to attack. Instead, he signalled to the other twelve airships to absorb more Spirit Stones and once again solidify the Sacred Tree Divine Light. It seemed that he planned to completely break this Large Formation before facing the nearly one thousand Rock Country cultivators below head-on.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Seeing the Sacred Tree Divine Light slashing from the sky, triggering earth-shaking tremors, Ji Dingjin felt a tightening in his heart.


    He had an ominous premonition.


    However, he thought it was because the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army before him might cause their elite cultivators from the Rock Country to lose most of their strength once the formation was broken.


    Ji Dingjin was prepared, even ready to stake his own life, in order to inflict heavy losses on the Divine Wood Sect.


    Even if he couldn¡¯t drag Chu Zuoshu to death, he would still pull some Foundation Establishment seeds that had the potential to reach the Core Formation stage.


    The primary target was the young cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage who had mastered the sword light.


    Thinking about Chen Mobai, Ji Dingjin looked up to the sky. Each of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect controlled a flying ship rigged with the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, so they stood tall above the flying ship, clearly visible.


    But, he couldn¡¯t find Chen Mobai among them.


    Could it be that the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had increased and he was resting?


    Ji Dingjin thought so, but it didn¡¯t feel right.


    But before he had time to think carefully, the twelve beams of the third round of Heavenly Wood Divine Light had already fallen.


    Amid the booming rumble, the Rank-3 upper-grade large formation, known for its defense, was breached in seven or eight places, and even hundreds of Qi Practitioners within the formation couldn¡¯t avoid it and were directly vaporized.


    ¡°Hurry up, Earth Masters and Array Masters come and replace the ones who are exhausted.¡±


    Ji Dingjin listened to the loud call from a junior brother controlling the array plate by his side. He slowly closed his eyes, and after inhaling deeply, he who had already put on full body armor, flew out of the formation first.


    Together with the other six Peak Masters who had come to support from Shake Mountain Peak yesterday and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sky Country, a total of twenty-eight Foundation Establishment cultivators flew up like rocks pulled out of the ground towards the thirty-eight flying ships of the Divine Wood Sect in the sky.


    ¡°The time to establish merit is now.¡±


    Mid-air, Chu Zuoshu saw this scene, and said coldly. He then adjusted his jade crown, and two tree seeds evolved and went to meet Ji Dingjin who was in the front.


    Next to him, Xie Yuntian unsheathed his sword without saying a word. The sharp edge shot towards the sky, shattering the clouds and clearing the sky, his momentum was even more terrifying than Chu Zuoshu.


    The remaining members of the Quan Shanlin, Fu Huakun and other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect late stage, also each found their own opponents.


    The two sect¡¯s large armies, without the protection of formations, began the most direct war.


    As for this, Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know.


    They had already taken a detour into the territory of Rock Country and were twenty miles away from the target Spirit Stone Mine. Weng Chuanyou found an uninhabited Rank-1 Spirit Vein and began setting up a teleportation array.


    ¡°If there was a Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it would be even better, but given our limited conditions, we can only use more spirit stones.¡±


    While Weng Chuanyou was talking, he directed Chen Mobai and the other two to bury twelve fist-sized Void Stones in corresponding positions.


    He, on the other hand, solemnly held a circular array plate with a hollow center and placed it in the centermost position. He then took out several Array Flags and planted them into various parts of the Spirit Vein.


    Huge amounts of spiritual energy like white mist rose from the ground and resonated with the Void Stones placed by Chen Mobai and the others. In an instant, a circular outline was formed on the ground. Immediately afterward, intricate and complex Dao runes generated from the inner edge of the outline, stretching like spirit snakes towards Weng Chuanyou at the center.


    This process lasted three days and three nights.


    Chen Mobai saw Weng Chuanyou use more than a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, and even used a translucent Spirit Stone that was glowing with colorful light when he finished, placing it in the center of the array plate.


    This was a top-grade Spirit Stone.


    The cost of setting up this small teleportation array was twenty thousand in spirit stones alone.


    No wonder only the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness have the ability to set it up.


    If the Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t happened to discover a Void Mysterious Stone Mine, they probably wouldn¡¯t have made this plan.


    After all, these twelve Void Stones were worth thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones, and they were priceless.


    But precisely because of this, Shake Mountain Peak didn¡¯t consider the possibility that the Divine Wood Sect would set up a teleportation array within the borders of Rock Country.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s test it first.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou wiped the sweat from his forehead, then activated the teleportation array and tossed in a prepared rabbit.


    Two breaths later, a disciple who was left on Rolling Thunder Mountain brought the rabbit to them through the teleportation array in a flash of spiritual light.


    ¡°It succeeded.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai let out a sigh of relief and a slight relaxation.

 Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_1

    Chapter 438: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_1


    Initially, they assumed that setting up the Teleportation Array would be a dangerous task, but they finished effortlessly.


    However, Chen Mobai and his team couldn¡¯t leave right away.


    They had to stay here until the troops from the Divine Wood Sect were transferred over.


    Since it was a small Teleportation Array, it could only transport ten people at a time.


    Moreover, most of the forces guarding the Spirit Stone Mine were sent to the frontlines, thus it wasn¡¯t necessary for all of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s troops to be transferred at once.


    Weng Chuanyou secretly implemented some secret technique or magic artifact, confirming that there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators and thirty Qi Practitioners managing this large formation.


    Using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai found that although he could barely penetrate through the defensive large formation outside the Spirit Stone Mine, he was unable to perceive the actual situation inside.


    It can be said that the Divine Wood Sect, being recognized as a Major Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, indeed has profound resources.


    What followed was quite simple.


    Chu Zuoshu led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army and surrounded Ji Dingjin¡¯s force for seven days, handling them from close combat at the start to a siege later.


    Ji Dingjin thought that his hardline strategy had inflicted pain to the Divine Wood Sect, but in reality, he was just unable to recognize the withdrawal of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and a hundred elite Qi Practitioners from the frontlines.


    After Chen Mobai and his team joined forces with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s troops coming from the Teleportation Array, they directly led by Weng Chuanyou, a Rank-3 Array Master, and swiftly cracked the defense of the small Spirit Stone Mine.


    Despite the fierce resistance from the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak, they were outnumbered and even with the support of the large formation, they were still quickly defeated by the Sacred Tree Divine Light in half a day.


    Once the formation was broken, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak ordered all the cultivators to scatter, each carrying a storage bag and flee.


    To prevent the raw Spirit Stones in the mine from being carried away, Chen Mobai and the others had to divide their forces to pursue everyone.


    Luckily they had foreseen this, and the number of people they had teleported over was sufficient.


    However, not everything went exactly as planned; two Qi Practitioners from Mountain Shaker Peak erupted with great power and managed to escape under the assault of six to seven people from the Divine Wood Sect.


    According to feedback from the surviving Divine Wood Sect monks, these two Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators had attained the first level of Nine Ranges Law Body, and their physical strength surpassed theirs.


    But these unexpected incidents did not hinder the overall victory of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s strategy.


    Chen Mobai and seven other Foundation Establishment cultivators personally exterminated the two fleeing Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak, yielding a haul of raw Spirit Stones worth over two hundred thousand within their storage bags.


    This was the monthly yield of the Spirit Stone Mine, and besides them, by adding up the Spirit Stones present in all the Qi Practitioner disciples¡¯ storage bags, they made an additional gain of fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones.


    From this raid, they brought back a total of nearly three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Such is the nature of small Spirit Stone Mines. After a little processing, the raw ores will become intermediate grade Spirit Stones,¡± Weng Chuanyou declared with a smile, holding a piece of the raw ore.


    The Spirit Stone Mines in the Tianhe Realm are classified into micro, small, medium, and large.


    The Rolling Thunder Mountain is a miniature Spirit Stone Mine and only produces lower-grade Spirit Stones, with a total yield of several million Spirit Stones.


    The small mines¡¯ core ore veins can actually produce intermediate grade Spirit Stone raw ores, producing over a million Spirit Stones annually, with a total yield of several tens of millions.


    A medium mine is even more impressive, with upper-grade Spirit Stones in the core ore veins, and only four have been discovered all over the Eastern Wilderness.


    Two belong to the Five Elements Sect, one belongs to the Snow-blowing Palace, and one to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Of these, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s mine was taken from the Five Element Sects¡¯ hands with help from Golden Cliff during a split in the clan.


    Thus, half of the annual yield of Spirit Stones needs to be afforded to Golden Cliff.


    Although the Mountain Shaker Peak does not have a medium mine, it has two small mines and three micro Spirit Stone Mines.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s occupation now almost cut off half the source of the Spirit Stone for Mountain Shaker Peak.


    So when Ji Dingjin heard the news brought back by the two escapees, his eyes turned red.


    He immediately led all his surviving cultivators, ready to abandon the micro Spirit Stone Mine and recapture the small mine occupied by Chen Mobai¡¯s team.


    But Chu Zuoshu, who had already predicted this, immediately led his army to intercept.


    Although Ji Dingjin was furious, he had not lost his sanity. After failed attempts to break through, he had to retreat back to the micro Spirit Stone Mine under the circumstances.


    He was at his wits¡¯ end.


    His only hope now was the old ancestor of their sect.


    Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s sect is located in a valley between two plateaus.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Apparently, the old ancestor of the sect had split the valley by shaking the mountains with a single fist, and hence the sect was named after this legend.


    In the plateau on the left of Mountain Shaker Peak, a towering Golden Sun Spirit Tree stood erect with cloud-like branches and leaves, reaching into the clouds and covering most of the valley.


    This was the area unveiled by the Immortality Sutra of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Old Ancestor, Zhou Saintly Pure.


    On the top of the plateau on the right, a thick black long spear stood on the mountain peak, and a young man in a golden robe stared coldly at Zhou Saintly Pure with his hands behind his back.


    This person was naturally the Core Formation real person of Shake Mountain, Ji Zhenshi.

 Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_2

    Chapter 439: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_2


    A month ago, Zhou Shengqing came to blockade the gate.


    Ji Zhenshi naturally couldn¡¯t bear this and directly suited up for combat, clashing with Zhou Shengqing.


    However, there was no choice, the Immortality Sutra was too taxing. Coupled with Zhou Shengqing being slightly higher in cultivation level, although Ji Zhenshi was able to resist by relying on his strong physical body and defensive Legal Treasures, he was still blocked inside the sect for a whole month.


    Other Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation disciples from the Shake Mountain Peak were allowed to come and go as they pleased by Zhou Shengqing, but not Ji Zhenshi.


    Yet even if Ji Zhenshi could leave, under the circumstances of Zhou Shengqing blocking the main gate, he wouldn¡¯t dare to take a single step away from Shake Mountain Peak.


    Thus, the two began a stalemate.


    The state of the border warfare was constantly reported to Ji Zhenshi. At first, this elderly ancestor of Shake Mountain Peak was able to accept it.


    After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many separations of life and death. The nine peaks¡¯ masters had all changed three or four times over.


    But today, when Ji Zhenshi learned that his small Spirit Stone Mine was occupied by the Divine Wood Sect, he could no longer bear it.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing, do you want to go to full-scale war with my Shake Mountain Peak?¡±


    Ji Zhenshi gripped the black long spear at his side, an awesome aura of blood burst forth, causing the void to twist. The two mountains beside Shake Mountain Peak started to tremble, as if an earthquake was about to occur.


    ¡°The first to act was your Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing remained calm and casually waved his sleeve. The golden light from the Sun Spirit Tree at his side blossomed, instantly suppressing the trembling mountain ridges beneath his feet.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see through such ham-fisted tactics?¡±


    In the past, Ji Zhenshi had been able to consolidate the power of the whole Shake Mountain Peak by himself and develop it into one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, using many dark and complicated strategies.


    The current conflict between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak was clearly stirred up by someone. He couldn¡¯t believe Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t see it.


    Usually, such matters would be settled by some verbal sparring, followed by letting it go to save face.


    If it comes to a large-scale war between the two sects, it could drag the entire Eastern Wilderness into the chaos, causing death and suffering for hundreds of years.


    ¡°Of course, I saw it. But last year, you killed our sect¡¯s Administrative Elder sent to the Eastern Yi Territory, and took Void Mysterious Stone worth nearly a million Spirit Stones, which went a bit too far.¡±


    When Zhou Shengqing said this, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s pupils harshly shrunk. He stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at the young man with the demeanor of an ageless youth on the other side.


    ¡°Were they your people?¡±


    ¡°Heh, don¡¯t you know they were mine?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sneered in response. Last year, in order to assist Zhou Wangshen in his Immortal Cultivation of Taoist Body, he had sent a disciple of his to the Eastern Yi Territory to exchange some newly mined Void Stones for another type of Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    Who would have expected that just after completing the transaction with a large pharmacy, and barely stepping out of the city, Ji Zhenshi would slaughter them.


    Unfortunately, the location where the Administrative Elder exchanged the Gold Core Spiritual Material was the headquarters of Xuan Xiao Chamber of Commerce, where Ji Zhenshi had some influence.


    This is the cultivation world of Tianhe Realm. Even a large sect like Divine Wood Sect could accidentally fall prey to local bullies or crossing over fierce dragons.


    For Zhou Shengqing, the loss of Spirit Stones was a small matter, but delaying Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation and revealing the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was a big deal.


    ¡°The Divine Wood Sect found the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, yet you did not share it with Golden Cliff. It¡¯s only natural us to become greedy for a slice of the pie.¡±


    After Zhou Shengqing revealed the underlying cause, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s face calmed down. He drew the black long spear in front of him. The overwhelming sea of qi within his body suddenly burst through its limit, materializing into a river of blood qi, dyeing half of the sky.


    ¡°Oh, have you broken through to the late stage of Core Formation?¡±


    This was somewhat unexpected to Zhou Shengqing, causing him to frown slightly.


    ¡°Heh, there¡¯s much more you haven¡¯t expected.¡±


    A cold laugh echoed in the void, and a faceless man in a black robe with a white cloth covering his face appeared next to Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Nan Shidao!¡±


    Seeing this Core Formation elder from Liu Jia Mountain, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s brows furrowed more deeply. He unexpectedly and unhesitatingly joined forces with Shake Mountain Peak.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Fu Zongjue, that old decayed wood smell can be detected from a long distance, aren¡¯t you hiding and waiting for me?¡±


    The lips behind the white cloth of Nan Shidao trembled, and he mockingly derided.


    ¡°This might disappoint you. My junior brother Fu is still over at Wind Rain Shelter suppressing the demonic beasts and hasn¡¯t come here.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was facing two alone, but his expression remained unchanged, still calm and confident.


    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t come, you would probably have died at our hands today,¡± said the Southern Teacher, and with a gesture, a blade without a handle shot from his palm. The blade shimmered faintly blue, and as it appeared, the surrounding air suddenly chilled several degrees.


    ¡°I¡¯m quite confident in my own defensive abilities. I doubt you alone could kill me.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke with an indifferent look on his face.


    ¡°Oh, it seems like you are too conceited and have not directly faced his Void Law Body power in the late Gold Core stage.¡±


    The Southern Teacher, who seemed to have had some experience, peered at Ji Zhenshi next to him, a tremor of unease appearing in his eyes.


    It was precisely because he had experienced his power, in addition to the presence of that person, that the Southern teacher had decided to ally with the Shake Mountain Peak against the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I guess today¡¯s as good a day as any to learn about it.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke with a calm demeanor, flicking his fingers and sprouting two more tree seeds.


    Three towering Golden Sun Spirit Trees encased him in the middle, at the same time suppressing the part of the terrain below the Mountain Shaker Peak, causing the originally targeted Mountain Protection Array to operate slowly.


    ¡°Ever since I reached the late Gold Core stage, I haven¡¯t encountered an opponent who could stop me head-on.¡±


    Ji Zhenshi slowly opened his mouth. The black long spear in his hand pointed towards Zhou Shengqing.


    The void seemed to open a vortex that sucked in the tip of his spear.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s facial expression changed slightly. He tilted his head, and saw the black spearhead appearing out of nowhere in front of him, leaving a streak of blood on his fair cheek.


    ¡°Void Law Body, truly the number one Body Forging technique in Eastern Wilderness,¡± said the Southern Teacher, recalling how he was defeated by this technique.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing on the other side, however, gently touched the wound on his cheek, a green light flashed and the wound had already healed.


    Then a beam of Sacred Tree Divine Light burst from his fingertips, half of it in the air, blasting towards the Southern Teacher and Ji Zhenshi.


    Ji Zhenshi, without moving his feet or swaying his body, shook his spear and deflected the Sacred Tree Divine Light into the sky, as if he had propelled a beautiful, green meteor into the sky.


    The Southern Teacher extended his left hand, and its five fingers ingeniously reassembled into a shield, blocking the Sacred Tree Divine Light. Yet under the impact, he involuntarily retreated a dozen meters before managing to dissipate Zhou Shengqing¡¯s attack.


    ¡°I¡¯ll assist you. We need to finish him off quickly. If Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang come over, it would be troublesome,¡± the Southern Teacher said, subtly pressuring Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°He¡¯s right, we might not be able to kill him,¡± Ji Zhenshi suddenly said.


    ¡°I believe your Void Law Body will be able to do it,¡± the Southern Teacher expressed confidence in Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°If I go all out, it may not coincide well with your efforts,¡± said Ji Zhenshi, Zhou Shengqing did not object, seemingly waiting for his opponents to finish their discussion.


    The Southern Teacher asked, ¡°Then you mean to say¡­¡±


    Ji Zhenshi said, ¡°Since my true cultivation level has already been exposed, I naturally have to have a good fight with him. Since you came, please go to the trouble of clearing all the monks from the Divine Wood Sect in the Rock Country for me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s facial expression finally changed.


    However, the Southern Teacher burst into laughter, rose into the sky and headed towards the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Zhou Shengqing was about to fly up to hinder the Southern Teacher¡¯s departure, but he was stopped by the sudden appearance of the spearhead in front of him.


    ¡°I want you to feel the same pain I felt days ago, hearing about the death of the disciples of my sect and being powerless to do anything.¡±


    Ji Zhenshi looked at Zhou Shengqing and said, word by word.

 Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_1

    Chapter 440: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_1


    After taking over the Spirit Stone Mine, the Divine Wood Sect wouldn¡¯t simply pillage and leave.


    Under Weng Chuanyou¡¯s command, the Qi practitioners that they had transported via the Teleportation Array, began mining the stones, one after the other.


    Although none of them were professionals, under the lure of the Spirit Stones, everyone was using their magic artifacts to dig, sparing no effort.


    With a hundred Qi practitioners and the assistance of eight cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm, they could mine raw ores worth seven to eight thousand spirit stones a day from this mine.


    During this time, Ji Dingjin led his team in two field charges but was repelled back by Chu Zuoshu, who relied on superior manpower and meticulous battle arrays.


    Inside the mine tunnel, Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± scattered from his wrist.


    Under his Psychic control, the mist transformed into strands of Sword Qi, it smoothly cut the surrounding stone walls into large squares like slicing tofu.


    With his divine sense scanning over, which stones contained spirit stones and which were ordinary stones were clearly imprinted into his mind.


    As the misty cloud turned into a whirlwind-like dragon and swept up the cut-off stones, under Chen Mobai¡¯s meticulous operation, all the ordinary stones were quickly crushed into rubble, revealing only irregularly shaped spirit stones of varying sizes among the debris on the ground.


    Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, beckoned with his hand, and the dozen or so spirit stones on the ground flew into the storage bag tied around his waist.


    Compared to the others, his mining efficiency was quite high.


    Even so, not even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm were give up rest and continuously practice their psychic control round-the-clock.


    Not to mention the Qi practitioners.


    Hence, the usual practice of mining a Spirit Stone Mine is to use mortal miners to slowly excavate the entire vein. Mortals lack the strength to damage the spirit stones which, although slow, ensures that nothing is wasted.


    While cultivators mine more efficiently, their limited psychic control might damage the integrity of the spirit stones during violent excavations.


    But given that Chen Mobai¡¯s team were not in their own spirit stone mine and feared a counterattack from the cultivator army of Rock and Sky Countries marshalled by Mountain Shaker Peak, they made full use of this time to mine as much as they could, ignoring any wastage or damages.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai, whose psychic control far exceeded that of a cultivator at the early foundation stage, and who had the Void Spirit Eye that could see Spiritual Light, did not have this worry.


    In the ten days he spent in this Spirit Stone Mine, he had mined raw ore worth nearly four to five thousand Spirit Stones.


    The other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm had also gained two to three thousand Spirit Stones.


    Weng Chuanyou stipulated that each cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm had to submit two hundred Spirit stones to the sect daily, but he turned a blind eye to the rest of their earnings, letting them store it in their own storage bags.


    For this reason, every cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect was happily mining away.


    However, these good times would inevitably come to an end.


    One day, while Chen Mobai and the others were mining, an oppressive, terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky. Accompanied by a cold snort, the entire mine began to vibrate and shake.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t good, it¡¯s a Golden Core Cultivator!¡±


    Chen Mobai had confronted such an entity before in Red Sandstone City, when he sensed this being¡¯s aura, his face immediately turned pale.


    But just as he was going to flee using the short-range teleportation talisman, the terrifying aura suddenly moved away, seemingly occupied with other important matters.


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s face turned pale again.


    The Golden Core Cultivator just now was openly hostile to them and being at his realm, he probably would need less than a day to annihilate them all.


    Despite this, he still gave up on the Spirit Stone Mine. The only explanation was that there was a more worthwhile target for him to pursue.


    Compared to their small group, the only thing that could be of main concern to a Golden Core Cultivator was the Divine Wood Sect army led by Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°This is bad!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately rushed out of the underground tunnel, not alone, but with the other seven foundation establishment cultivators who had also sensed the aura of the Golden Core cultivator earlier.


    Weng Chuanyou, with a gloomy face, announced some bad news.


    The teleportation array was destroyed.


    The choice of the Golden Core cultivator sure was swift, accurate, and ruthless.


    If he could seriously damage or even kill a few key cultivators at the foundation establishment realm in his own army, he would be able to disband and annihilate them completely.


    He hadn¡¯t spared their small group, having infiltrated the Rock Country either.


    After cutting off the teleportation array, there would be time to surround and kill them, once the Divine Wood Sect army besieging Ji Dingjin was defeated.


    ¡°Can it be repaired?¡±


    ¡°No, the Golden Core cultivator has cut off the earth vein. However, I had taken two sets of small Teleportation Array materials from the sect as a precaution, which we can use to set up another one.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The first half of Weng Chuanyou¡¯s words caused everyone to look serious, but fortunately, there were good news following it, else they might have already been thinking about how to escape.


    ¡°Setting up the teleportation array takes three days. If the Golden Core Cultivator takes action, Hall Master Chu there might not be able to hold out for even a day.¡±


    Xi Yisheng said with a worried look on his face.


    ¡°Previously, due to the low Spirit Vein Level, it would take three days as we needed to infuse Spirit Stones to enhance the Spirit Vein. But this time, if we do it here, it will take only two days.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou brought another piece of good news and everyone¡¯s expressions eased slightly.

 Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_2

    Chapter 441: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_2


    ¡°There is a safer alternative. We can find another deserted Spirit Vein nearby and set up a Teleportation Array. Even if the front lines are breached, it will take time for the people of Shake Mountain to find us. I believe three days would be enough for us to re-establish the Teleportation Array and return to Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall suddenly put forth a suggestion.


    Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present became thoughtful. Indeed, compared to staying in this Spirit Stone Mine, which will undoubtedly become a focal point of dispute after the war, finding another Spirit Vein seems a better option.


    ¡°But what about the disciples of our sect who are Qi Practitioners?¡±


    Weng Chuanyou worriedly asked. It¡¯s easy for the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hide, but if they leave, the hundred Qi Practitioners in the Spirit Stone Mine will surely be unable to stand their ground.


    ¡°If we encounter a Golden Core Cultivator, we wouldn¡¯t be able to resist even if we were all present. However, if we only face the army from Shake Mountain, we should be able to hold out for three days with the help of our formations.¡±


    Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator named Yue Tianheng calmly analyzed the two scenarios. Afterwards, everyone turned their eyes towards Weng Chuanyou who, in name, was the leader of this troop.


    It was up to him to make a decision.


    ¡°If we abandon this Spirit Stone Mine and slip away silently, the eight of us can mostly ensure our safe return. But if we choose to stay, we can only hope that after the Golden Core Cultivator has decimated our main force, we may be able to hold out for three days with the help of our formations.¡±


    With two choices and given the urgency in setting up the Teleportation Array, they didn¡¯t have much time to deliberate.


    Weng Chuanyou was indecisive. If he, as the leader, chose to abandon the disciples of the sect, regardless of whether the Divine Wood Sect won or lost the war, his prospects within the sect would be over.


    However, the matter concerned his own life and the murderous intent of that Golden Core Cultivator was still imprinted in his heart. Instinctively, Weng Chuanyou leaned towards the first option.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Weng Chuanyou asked Chen Mobai. Though he was the nominal leader of the team, Chen Mobai was their strongest combatant, so everyone¡¯s gaze immediately turned towards him.


    ¡°I will absolutely not abandon the disciples of my sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai resolutely stated, showing the fearless and straightforward character of a Sword Cultivator.


    Upon hearing this, Xi Yisheng nodded in approval.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s put it to a vote.¡±


    Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall suddenly suggested, and everyone thought he disagreed with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I agree with Chen.¡±


    As the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, although Xi Yisheng knew that leaving would ensure his survival, he did not want to go against his conscience.


    The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators showed hesitation upon hearing this.


    Although fear of death is instinctive, the Divine Wood Sect had indeed treated them well. If they abandoned the Qi Practitioner disciples to protect themselves now, they would likely live with guilt, even if they survived and returned to the sect.


    If everyone else chose to abandon them, they would naturally follow the crowd. However, Chen Mobai¡¯s righteous words and determination filled them with shame.


    In the end, six people raised their hands to decide to set up the Teleportation Array here, at least giving those disciples a glimmer of hope for survival.


    The only ones who hadn¡¯t expressed their opinions were Weng Chuanyou and Liao Shiying.


    However, after the rest had agreed, Weng Chuanyou, as the leader, would surely follow the majority.


    Only Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall remained.


    But when everyone¡¯s gazes turned to him, he suddenly burst into laughter.


    Then a powerful aura erupted from him, and Liao Shiying¡¯s face suddenly changed, turning into a dignified visage that everyone was very familiar with.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder Fu!¡±


    To Chen Mobai¡¯s surprise, this man turned out to be another Golden Core elder from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Although E Yun had warned him earlier, no one had expected that this Elder would be hiding among this small troop.


    ¡°Chen Guixian, you did well.¡±


    Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai with admiration, then waved his hand to signify that no one needed to be overly courteous.


    ¡°I¡¯m only a puppet body here, my true body is still with Chu Zuoshu. Master Nan¡¯s cultivation level is above mine, if I confront him, I¡¯ll also have to recall this Rank-3 puppet body.¡±


    Due to the urgency of the situation, Fu Zongjue revealed his identity and immediately began to command the next strategy.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen has already arrived in Rock Country, and if he joins forces with Senior Brother Zhou, they will surely kill Ji Zhenshi on the spot. I was originally here to prevent any accidents, but meeting Master Nan is also rewarding.¡±


    ¡°On one hand, set up the teleportation array and prepare to retreat, on the other hand, guard against Mountain Shaker Peak calling on cultivators from the other two countries for a siege.¡±


    ¡°All disciples are part of the sect, but if you really can¡¯t hold on, I allow you seven to retreat first.¡±


    With this statement from Fu Zongjue, everyone seemed to have found their central pillar and responded loudly.


    ¡°Elder Fu, this is the harvest of these days, it is safest with you.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou put the more than 300,000 spirit stones collected after occupying the Spirit Stone Mine into a large storage bag and respectfully handed it to Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body. The latter was not polite and accepted it directly.


    Afterward, he transformed into a green light, rising to the sky, disappearing in front of everyone.


    ¡°Junior Brothers, let¡¯s get to work.¡±


    With Fu Zongjue gone, Weng Chuanyou began to energetically direct operations. Inwardly, though, he wiped a bead of sweat off his brow. If he had abandoned the Qi Practitioners and left earlier, his future in the sect would surely be gloomy.


    Speaking of which, he still had to thank Chen Mobai. If it weren¡¯t for this sword cultivator junior brother insisting on his own views, not abandoning or giving up, Weng Chuanyou and the others would undoubtedly have prioritized their own lives.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we owe you a favor today. If there¡¯s anything you need in the future, just give the word.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou expressed his gratitude to Chen Mobai, and the others also nodded in agreement.


    If they all run away today, even if Elder Fu gives them a pass because of the war, they will certainly be unwelcome when they return to the sect in the future.


    ¡°I was just following my heart.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very elegant, but in reality, he felt that if Chu Zuoshu¡¯s army was defeated, Rolling Thunder Mountain might not be a safe place, and going there by teleportation array might be walking into a trap.


    Moreover, he had a Short Teleportation Talisman in his hand. If a Golden Core Cultivator really came knocking, it would be easy to escape.


    Not long after, they felt two terrifyingly powerful surges of spiritual energy erupt from the location of the miniature spirit stone mine where the two sects¡¯ large armies were stationed.


    It should be that Fu Zongjue and Master Nan, the two Golden Core cultivators, have started their confrontation.


    At this point in the war, one could say that the battle was fully engaged.


    But bad news soon arrived.


    As expected, Fu Zongjue, who was in the early Golden Core stage, was no match for Master Nan. However, because of his appearance, he had ensured that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army did not collapse and orderly withdrew from Rock Country.


    But in doing so, the large army of Ji Dingjin was now liberated and able to move freely.


    Luckily, Fu Zongjue had bought enough time for them to set up the teleportation array.


    However, more bad news followed. The army of Mountain Shaker Peak, after driving back the Divine Wood Sect, did not rest and headed directly towards them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. I hope that half of these disciples can safely return to the sect.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou gave the final order to Chen Mobai and the other six.


    Outside of these seven people, the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, many of whom were carrying storage bags, looked anxious and had an uncertainty about their future in their eyes. However, most people still gritted their teeth and left the spirit stone mine in all directions.


    The teleportation array takes some time to activate each time. After the Qi Cultivation completion, those who can seize the opportunity are definitely the late-stage Qi practitioners. Those Qi practitioners who know they can¡¯t wait for the teleportation array choose to leave early.

    Seeing that most of the Qi Practitioners had left, Weng Chuanyou calculated the time and designated the order of the remaining Qi Practitioners to use the teleportation array. He then nodded to Chen Mobai and the others and was the first to step into the teleportation array.


    Their group of seven, plus three disciples who had reached Qi Cultivation perfection, made up the first batch of ten people.


    However, after a flash of spiritual light, the ten of them were still standing in the same place.


    ¡°Not good, the teleportation array in Rolling Thunder Mountain has been closed or damaged. It must have fallen.¡±


    The color drained from Weng Chuanyou¡¯s face as he considered the worst possibility.

 Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Chapter 319 Return to the City_1

    Chapter 442: Chapter 319 Return to the City_1


    In the Spirit Stone Mine, Chen Mobai and the other six watched all the Qi Practitioners leave before saying their goodbyes.


    If the Teleportation Array couldn¡¯t be used, then their last resort would be to escape by other means.


    Everyone departed in different directions. In the end, it all came down to who had the best luck.


    After bidding farewell, the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators turned into streaks of Spiritual Light, disappearing into the sky.


    One fled towards Sky Country, another towards Rainbow Country in Liu Jia Mountain, while Weng Chuanyou and Yue Tianheng chose to head for Frost Country, under the jurisdiction of Snow-blowing Palace.


    Another person, surprisingly headed directly towards the heart of Rock Country.


    It seemed that the mindset was: the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be.


    ¡°Chen, where will you go?¡±


    Only Xi Yisheng and Chen Mobai were left. The former asked the latter.


    ¡°I¡¯m headed for Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    That meant straight into the arms of Ji Dingjin¡¯s large army. But Xi Yisheng did not voice his confusion. Instead, he just waved his hand, transforming into a Sword Light and heading toward Frost Country.


    Once everyone had disappeared, Chen Mobai stood alone in the now deserted Spirit Stone Mine and sighed deeply.


    The Short Teleportation Talisman could only be used by a single person. He could only wish the rest of the Divine Wood Sect disciples safe returns to the Sect.


    He pulled out a sealed jar of wine from his storage bag and popped it open with a strike. It looked as if a sharp sword had cut open the seal.


    After taking a big gulp, Chen Mobai turned to leave the place.


    Suddenly, a yellow Spiritual Light descended from the sky like a meteor and hurled violently towards him.


    With a loud rumbling sound¡­


    The entire Spirit Stone Mine seemed unable to withstand the impact and began shaking violently.


    Chen Mobai retreated to mid-air, standing above the clouds, watching the dust fill the sky below him.


    A towering figure clad in full armor appeared before him¡ªJi Dingjin.


    ¡°Oh, only you are left it seems.¡±


    Ji Dingjin looked around and seeing that the place was deserted, his brow furrowed unconsciously.


    ¡°You arrived fast. It seems this Spirit Stone Mine is indeed very important to your Shake Mountain Top.¡±


    As Chen Mobai said this, he raised his wine jar, took another swig, then sat on his Red Misty Cloud Silk¡ªby all appearances, intending to have a chat with Ji Dingjin.


    ¡°Preserving your lives is the most important thing to us.¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s fist clenched, a powerful surge of qi exploded out from it.


    But an Ancient Bronze Mirror materialized and blocked in front of Chen Mobai.


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s horrifying fist strength, enough to shatter a small mountain, only managed to make the Rank-3 Magic Artifact tremble slightly before dissipating.


    ¡°It¡¯s very brave of you to stay behind, to cover your Sect member¡¯s escape. But if I were you, I would have been the first to flee.¡±


    Ji Dingjin, noting that Chen Mobai was the only one left and considering his status and position, inferred that he had voluntarily stayed behind.


    Even though he admired this, as an enemy, Ji Dingjin reluctantly knew he had to kill this genius from Divine Wood Sect who represented the greatest chance of reaching Core Formation.


    ¡°Even without the help of Elder Nan, I doubt you can kill me all by yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very confident that he could escape from this body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, thanks to his Short Teleportation Talisman¡ªa spatial tool that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not block.


    ¡°Overconfident! I admit you are very talented and have a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, but if I¡¯m willing to risk my life, I can still drag you down to Huangquan with me. Moreover, I only need to hold you off. Once my Shake Mountain Top cultivator army arrives, we can use the Large Formation and numerical advantage to seal your fate.¡±


    Ji Dingjin bloviated, but Chen Mobai, holding all the aces, just laughed and took another long drink from his jar.


    This audacious and carefree attitude of Chen Mobai, who seemed ready to die, made Ji Dingjin sigh inwardly, thinking how great it would be if this young man was a disciple of their Shake Mountain Top.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi is nearing death. You still have the mood to besiege me here?¡±


    However, the next words out of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth made Ji Dingjin explode with fury.


    ¡°Even if Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang join forces, they still don¡¯t understand the terror of the Void Law Body. Moreover, after Elder Nan of Liu Jia Mountain breached the Rolling Thunder Mountain, he already went to Shake Mountain Top. Your schemes from Divine Wood Sect will never succeed.¡±


    ¡°Go to Shake Mountain Top? I think he should try to escape back to Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Despite his mocking tone, Chen Mobai was worried about his two disciples.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that Elder Nan could breach Rolling Thunder Mountain. Fu Zongjue should have been able to hold up.


    Or perhaps there were unexpected changes that he was unaware of.


    But now was not the time to think about these things.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai finished the last bit of wine in his jar, wiped his mouth with his sleeve¡¯s edge, and then laughed heartily as he threw the empty jar at Ji Dingjin.


    With a ¡°pop¡±!


    The jar was directly crushed by Ji Dingjin¡¯s palm. Then, the body cultivator from Shake Mountain Top at the peak of Foundation Establishment, expanded both his eyes and body. He channeled black and red Spiritual Power, which surged dramatically as he dashed quickly into the air.


    Looking up at his opponent close by, Chen Mobai stared with intense eyes. Two invisible blades formed from Divine Sense erupted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, they cut into Ji Dingjin¡¯s Sea of Consciousness.


    Although Ji Dingjin was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he had focused so much on increasing his physical strength that his Divine Sense was his weak point.

 Chapter 443 - Chapter 443: Chapter 319: Return to the City_2

    Chapter 443: Chapter 319: Return to the City_2


    This was exactly why Ji Dingjin had always been unable to take the crucial step into the Core Formation stage.


    As the Divine Slash struck into his sea of knowledge, it was like two fine needles stabbing into his forehead, causing Ji Dingjin to frown inadvertently.


    Seizing this opportunity, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his bun.


    Utilizing his Fire Spirit Body, Qingyang Fire Seed, and Sun Raising technique combined with this Rank-2 top-grade Flying Sword that could best manifest his Red Flame Sword Jue, Chen Mobai unleashed the most powerful Sword Light he could presently manifest.


    Although Ji Dingjin¡¯s Divine Sense was his weakness, his realm was still higher. He forcibly suppressed the two Divine Sense Notions that had invaded his sea of knowledge using his vast Divine Sense.


    Then, facing the dazzling Sword Light that had already descended upon him, he glared angrily and spat out a strong surge of vital energy.


    A pitch-black vortex emerged seemingly out of nowhere before the Sword Light, swallowing Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light like a black hole. Then, it exploded in mid-air not far away, landing on the ground and creating a deep trench several hundred meters long.


    Amidst the whistling air current, Chen Mobai saw that after Ji Dingjin had redirected his Sword Light, he had pulled out a Black Mace as thick as an arm from the void. With a terrifying force that could crush Pure Iron, he heavily smashed it towards Chen Mobai.


    The ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± turned into streamlets of air current. While it took Chen Mobai backward, it was also gradually damping Ji Dingjin¡¯s attack.


    However, the defensive power of this magic artifact was still somewhat lacking in front of a body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment stage, and it immediately exploded into a sky full of clouds.


    Chen Mobai could only activate the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror by his ear. A ray of radiant golden light fell from the mirror surface, transforming into a spherical shield, which protected him from all angles without any blind spots.


    The Black Mace smashed onto the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, bursting out with a very dull noise,


    But the power of a Rank-3 magic artifact was still something Ji Dingjin couldn¡¯t break through.


    Though Chen Mobai was repelled over a dozen meters, he only suffered from mild tinnitus and suffered no injuries.


    After he probed with a gesture, Chen Mobai estimated his own strength.


    If he was fighting against someone at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment, with the help of a Rank-3 magic artifact, he might be able to achieve a surprising victory. However, against Ji Dingjin, a cultivator with rich battle experience at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he basically stood no chance.


    ¡°Was that what shifted my Sword Light just now, the famous ¡®Void Law Body¡¯ of the Shake Mountain?¡±


    Although he had figured out that his Sword Light might be unable to breach Ji Dingjin¡¯s defenses, Chen Mobai had not expected it to be so easily countered.


    Even Mu Hanxiong had to rely on layered armor to withstand it.


    But the method Ji Dingjin used just now had made Chen Mobai feel a bit creepy.


    It wasn¡¯t because of the weird ability of the Void Law Body.


    It was because he remembered the Underworld Array he had encountered on Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    The abilities of the two were very similar.


    Could there be a connection between them?


    But one was used by a Corpse Cultivator and the other was the town¡¯s cultivation technique of the East Wilderness Major Sect. They shouldn¡¯t be connected, should they?


    ¡°Today, you will die here.¡±


    Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question directly, instead, he pulled out another Black Mace from the void.


    This time, Chen Mobai noticed. When the Black Mace appeared, a pitch-black vortex appeared in mid-air, exactly the same as when the Underworld Array was activated.


    At this very moment, streaks of Escaping Light lit up in the distance and started heading in this direction.


    When Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye, he naturally saw that it was the rest of the cultivators from the Shake Mountain.


    And behind them, there were numerous Flying Boats; clearly, the army of cultivators from Rock Country was on the way.


    It was time to leave.


    However, he still needed to deliver the necessary parting words; he couldn¡¯t let the Divine Wood Sect lose face.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t find today¡¯s battle satisfying, so let¡¯s call it a draw. If we have the chance in the future, let¡¯s have a good fight again.¡±


    In reality, Chen Mobai had already exhausted all his means. His last resort was to use the Flame Explosion Technique to ignite the heavenly and earthly might of the Qingyang Fire Seed all at once, and unleash the Sword Light.


    But that would mean losing the fire seed that took years to cultivate, and he definitely wouldn¡¯t do that.


    ¡°Although I¡¯d very much like to go all out and fight one-on-one with you, to experience the battle fervor that hasn¡¯t boiled in a long time, the interests of the sect are paramount. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to die under the onslaught of our battle array.¡±


    Ji Dingjin said these words with regret. Chen Mobai was the strongest sword cultivator he had ever seen, with an astonishing level of talent and destiny, possessing even a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Given some time, he was sure to achieve great deeds.


    But unfortunately, he was an adversary, and Ji Dingjin had to leave him here today.


    Even if he let the rest of the Divine Wood Sect members escape, he would undoubtedly kill this young man.


    ¡°We¡¯ll have a chance, next time we meet, I¡¯ll show you how unstoppable I can be when I put my all into it.¡±


    Chen Mobai faced the Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators, who were beginning to form a battle array at a distance, without fear. Right when Ji Dingjin thought him to be out of his mind, he saw him take out a silver talisman.


    ¡°Is it a Rank-3 or Rank-4 talisman? Is he risking his life?¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s heart tightened. For someone who possessed a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, having a Rank-4 talisman was possible.


    His Void Law Body had not been fully cultivated. Facing the power of a Rank-4 talisman, it was very likely that he would die on the spot.


    Just as Ji Dingjin stepped back, Chen Mobai initiated the Short Teleportation Talisman in his hand.


    Silver light flared up like a thin veil, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye. His figure slowly faded, eventually turning into particles of light that disappeared without a trace!


    ¡°Escape Sky Talisman! This is impossible! How could he have such a talisman!¡±


    Ji Dingjin watched this scene, dumbfounded.


    In his experience, only a Rank-4 Escape Sky Talisman could instantly teleport a person away.


    But no one in the Eastern Wilderness could create such a talisman. Even if the Core Formation elders had them, they were treasured life-preserving trump cards.


    ¡°Could it be that he has obtained the inheritance of some hidden major sect?¡±


    This thought suddenly surfaced in Ji Dingjin¡¯s mind, causing his expression to change dramatically. But by this time Chen Mobai had left and all he could do was stamp his foot in frustration and direct the cultivators of Rock Country who had cornered him to spread out and chase the remaining disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However many spirit stone mines they could recover would be a bonus. Even if they couldn¡¯t recover them, they would kill all of them out of spite.


    ¡­


    Within the twinkling silver light.


    Chen Mobai felt a sensation different from Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation. Compared to Turtle Treasure¡¯s effortless method, this Short Teleportation Talisman was a little dizzying.


    Even though he had tried it twice before, he was still not quite used to it.


    Opening his eyes, everything around was pitch black. He carved an entrance in the sealed mountain cave with his sword for people to pass through.


    After coming outside, Chen Mobai looked in the direction of Rolling Thunder Mountain. Even though it was far away, after activating his Void Spirit Eye, he faintly saw strands of indescribably black fire, which gave him a slight sting in his eyes.


    This black fire made him instinctively feel fear, as if once tainted, his foundation would collapse and his divine sense would disintegrate.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not fly towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    He returned to the desolate mountain, resealed the cave entrance, and then took out his phone.


    He decided to return to the Immortal Gate and hide for a while.


    After all, the key to the current battle lay with the three Core Formation elders of the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff. If they could kill Ji Zhenshi and the Dao Master of South, then they would surely have a big victory.


    As a cultivator in the early foundation stage, he could not play a significant role in such a battlefield.


    Moreover, he had successfully occupied Ji Dingjin¡¯s attention in the Rock Country for a while, buying time for the other sect disciples to escape. He had already done his best.


    He would peek his head out again when the time was right and see what the result was.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If the Divine Wood Sect won a great victory, he would say he had covered the sect disciples¡¯ retreat, had a big battle with Ji Dingjin, barely escaped, but was seriously injured and had to recuperate for a while before he could return to the sect.


    If they lost¡­


    Chen Mobai clenched his fist. He had feelings for the Divine Wood Sect.


    He made up his mind that once his cultivation level was high, he would surely kill Ji Zhenshi and the Dao Master of South to avenge their Sect and the fallen Sect members.


    With a clear mind, Chen Mobai pressed ¡°Return to City¡±.

 Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Chapter 320: Face _1

    Chapter 444: Chapter 320: Face _1


    After returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai naturally first visited the student council.


    This time, Hua Zijing didn¡¯t hold back and directly made him handle the accumulated paperwork.


    Chen Mobai also reflected for a moment, feeling it wasn¡¯t right to delegate everything to subordinates. Given that Zijing was graduating this year, he felt a need to be more engaged, to understand what exactly needed to be done in the student council.


    His decision delighted Hua Zijing, who promptly began to transfer her burdens onto Chen Mobai one by one.


    It was during these days that Chen Mobai understood the true meanings of the comments that Zijing had made about Zhuang Jialan before.


    ¡®High potential for growth¡¯ meant she didn¡¯t yet have any usable skills.


    ¡®Large room for improvement¡¯ meant she was starting from the bottom.


    ¡®Great learning ability¡¯ meant she didn¡¯t know anything.


    The matters the student council handled were actually very complex. As a bridge between the teachers and students of the Daoist Academy, they needed to communicate with all the instructors of the 18 major specializations and 72 electives, and even the students.


    Zhuang Jialan was good at most things, but her communication and coordination skills were lacking somewhat. However, these were skills that could only be developed with long-term experience.


    Hua Zijing also had her share of stumbling when she first began, always relying on her seniors.


    Moreover, Zhuang Jialan did have her strengths. She used to be a study committee member in her class, and along with class president Si Guanyu, was responsible for coordinating the entire class¡¯s learning plan. Having liaised with the student council before, she had a foundation to build on.


    For this reason, it was somewhat easier for Zijing to guide her. After three months, Zijing even handed over to her the task of coordinating with the teachers and students of the Runes Department and its four elective courses.


    Since Zhuang Jialan was most familiar with the Runes Department itself, she was able to handle the task quite well.


    ¡°Why is everything dumped on our student council?¡±


    ¡°What on earth are the teachers of the Taoist Academy doing?¡±


    ¡°I think we need to reform the system of the Taoist Academy, and let the teachers participate in its administration again.¡±


    Only a week¡¯s workload had made Chen Mobai feel that the student council was dealing with too many matters. He suggested reducing the workload.


    But Hua Zijing just shot him a look and told him not to even dream about it. The teachers, having successfully shaken off these tasks, would not possibly take them back.


    The most arduous task of the Student Council within the Daoist Academy was formulating the teaching plan and coordinating interdepartmental courses to prevent conflicts.


    As the number of students choosing each major field and elective differed each year, the Academy needed to devise a new teaching plan and assign teaching resources according to the number of students.


    This involved a large outlay of credits, which were directly connected to the resources within the Taoist Academy Treasure House, and therefore required utmost caution.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy has a tradition, that after graduation, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, given that they don¡¯t need to serve in the army, and still want to enjoy the benefits of the Rank-5 Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and exchange for Gold Core spiritual material, would directly convert to assistant teachers at the Academy.


    All four Dao Academies reserved a chance for their students to reach Gold Core.


    Generally, after a ten-year study, those successful at Foundation Establishment would become teaching assistants, continue their cultivation while waiting for the Academy¡¯s arrangement to grind out their seniority, and accumulate the necessary credits to exchange for Gold Core spiritual material. This was the average life of most Daoist Academy students.


    A teacher of an elective course could receive 10 credits after a year of teaching in the Academy.


    If they were teachers of a major course, they would get double the amount.


    With 18 major and 72 elective courses across ten grades in the Academy, if fully staffed, that would mean an annual nominal expenditure of 10800 credits on the Academy¡¯s teachers. The Academy would have to shoulder this expenditure itself.


    Compared to that, even though the annual expenditure on students¡¯ credits was also substantial, for this part, the Dao Academy could apply for reimbursement from the Immortal Gate.


    The Immortal Gate, in fact, would be more than happy to see the Academy apply for more.


    Bigger applications indicated a greater number of new students admitted to the four major Dao Academies, which in turn signified a brighter future for the Immortal Gate.


    However, the four major Dao Academies were not enticed by the subsidies from the Immortal Gate. Even though they had been expanding enrollments over the years, they always kept them within a reasonable range.


    The reason the Immortal Gate didn¡¯t subsidize the Academy¡¯s teachers was actually to nudge this group of talents stuck on the campus to venture into society and play a more active role in various fields.


    Indeed, the Daoist Academy also hoped these people could leave.


    But these cultivators didn¡¯t have much desire for material things. Some didn¡¯t even need magic artifacts, focusing only on refining Spirit Qi, upgrading their own realm, and aspiring to have Core Formation or even Nascent Soul Formation.


    For these True Cultivators, both the Immortal Gate and the Daoist Academy were on the same page, left helpless.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai thought of his batchmate Zha Jianbai, who was actually the top swordsman of the 5012 batch. He had begun to undertake auxiliary teaching tasks in The Sword Control Department quite early on. He seemed determined to become a teacher at the Taoist Academy after graduating.


    Even Qu Hongyu, the senior who welcomed new students, and Mi Yudao, the senior he¡¯d encountered at the Treasure Trove, had chosen the same path.


    After all, as long as you worked there for sixty years and accumulated enough credits, you could exchange for a Five Elements Gold Core in any of the four great Dao Academies.


    Qing Ping was the best example, who achieved Core Formation and even Nascent Soul Formation this way.


    Because of this, the burden of supporting so many assistant teachers and teachers placed heavy pressure on the Daoist Academy. As the number of teachers increased, a competition for teaching assignments also began to emerge.

 Chapter 445 - Chapter 445: Chapter 320: Face_2

    Chapter 445: Chapter 320: Face_2


    Besides those senior professors from all major departments who have already reached Core Formation, the Daoist Academy hires annually, allowing them to choose the major and elective courses they want to teach. The rest of the Foundation Establishment teaching assistants even need to tap into their connections to get teaching assignments.


    Zha Jianbai, for instance, was already assisting with teaching during his student days. After graduation, True Cultivator Zuo Gong could naturally recommend him to become a teacher for the lower grades.


    For those like Qu Hongyu and Mi Yudao, who are of average talent and without the care of a Golden Core Cultivator, they can only bide their time, waiting for a vacancy in the courses they are good at and then step in to become a teacher.


    If they teach well and receive unanimous praise in subsequent student surveys, they will receive more and more teaching tasks, and they might even become teachers of primary courses in the future.


    These aspects such as survey questionnaires, course arrangements, etc., would require the assistance of the student council.


    Of course, the student council certainly doesn¡¯t have the authority to arrange teachers¡¯ courses. That lies with the academic affairs office.


    Hua Zijing told Chen Mobai that due to resource constraints, the Daoist Academy usually controls the amount of academic credit they spend on teachers each year to around three to four thousand. If a course has fewer registered students, several grades may be combined into one class to save credit and teaching resources.


    The tasks of combining classes, and dealing with all sorts of trivial matters in communicating with students and teachers, also fall on their student council.


    To enable a purer environment for teaching and learning, to allow teachers to focus on teaching and students to concentrate on learning, the Daoist Academy from a very early time delegated virtually everything other than core assignments such as arranging teachers to the student council.


    Partly for this reason, after being involved for only a week, Chen Mobai as the student council president was already feeling the headache.


    After all, communication and coordination are not tasks that can be completed by individual effort alone. It requires making call after call, even setting up face-to-face meetings, and not everyone¡¯s schedule can necessarily be neatly arranged together.


    ¡°The academic affairs office needs to arrange a trial class for the elective course ¡®History of Magical Instruments¡¯ in the Refining Implement Department, and they want us to coordinate the time and course details,¡± Hua Zijing announced the latest issue that needed to be resolved.


    She and Zhuang Jialan had already spent half a month discussing this issue, but had not yet made a decision.


    Having no choice, Chen Mobai had to personally take action.


    Since it was his first time handling such an issue, Hua Zijing didn¡¯t pin much hope on him; she just wanted him to experience the difficulties they faced.


    But that day, Chen Mobai left in the morning, and by the time he went to eat lunch, he phoned in to say that he had already resolved the issue.


    The class would be held tomorrow.


    ¡°How did you manage to do it?¡±


    Upon returning, Chen Mobai, who was in the office stroking a white cat, looked at Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, who had rushed in with wide eyes in disbelief, and pointed at his own face.


    ¡°You have such influence?¡±


    ¡°Not exactly, while I do have a bit of reputation, the reason why the teacher of History of Magical Instruments, Mr. Liu, was willing to accommodate me, it was because I invited him to discuss the matter in Teacher Che¡¯s office in Building One.¡±


    Hearing this, Hua Zijing couldn¡¯t help giving Chen Mobai, who had discreetly used his resources, a big thumbs up in admiration.


    All course arrangements in the Dance Tool Dao Academy were decided by the academic affairs office, and the director of the academic affairs office was Chen Mobai¡¯s teacher, Che Yucheng.


    By inviting people for discussions in Che Yucheng¡¯s office, no matter how difficult the issue, it would no longer be a problem.


    ¡°Both of you work hard. Teacher Che happens to be free tomorrow, and he wants to sit in on this trial class too.¡±


    With sincere admiration, Hua Zijing took Zhuang Jialan to arrange for this.


    On the academy side, since there are quite a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators lingering around Crimson Mountain, but the number of primary and elective courses available each year is limited, while they need to cater to newcomers by giving them a chance to test the waters, they have the concept of trial classes.


    Such trial classes involve choosing a curriculum for the new teacher to teach, where students normally attend the class, but in the end, a row of professors and senior teachers from the Daoist Academy will sit in as observers to evaluate the teaching level of the new teacher.


    After the trial class, the student council will conduct a questionnaire survey. If the professors and students are both satisfied, then the following year they will start arranging for him to become a lower-grade teacher for this elective course. If his teaching level improves subsequently, they will start scheduling him to teach higher grades.


    Next, it would be the main course teacher.


    However, the competition in this field is even more intense, as each teacher¡¯s teaching level is already very high. The Daoist Academy can only distribute opportunities evenly: this year you, next year him, the year after it¡¯s someone else, and so on¡­


    Since cultivators¡¯ lifespan extends to 240 years after reaching Foundation Establishment, and there is a new batch of graduates every year, it is unavoidable to be stuck in such an ¡®involution¡¯ situation.


    But even under such circumstances, the higher-ups at the Dance Tool Dao Academy still offer opportunities for young Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to distinguish themselves.

    If you receive unanimous praise in the trial class, you will be given a chance to teach an elective course for a year.


    ¡°With the realm of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, it should be quite simple to meticulously prepare a class that can satisfy most people, right?¡±


    On the day of the trial class, Chen Mobai, as a representative of the student council, was reporting to Che Yucheng, the director of teaching, and asked about some doubts in his mind.


    ¡°If they can be prepared for a class to make people satisfied, they should be able to prepare for every class. As long as they are willing to put forth effort, we at the Daoist Academy are willing to give opportunities.¡±


    ¡°And besides, while putting forth effort, they will get used to this rhythm of meticulously preparing for class. In fact, these new teachers might be more responsible and focused than those older teachers, at least for the first few years.¡±

 Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Chapter 320: Face_3

    Chapter 446: Chapter 320: Face_3


    ¡°It is precisely for this reason that we are willing to give each newcomer a chance, not only to eliminate some teachers who have lost their motivation and original aspiration, but also to ensure the egalitarianism of opportunities.¡±


    ¡°The reason why Immortal Path can maintain its long-term stability is because it allows every cultivator to see the hope of ascension. Even if this glimmer of hope is extremely faint, but at least, when they lift their heads, they can see that ray of light in the darkness.¡±


    If everything around is completely dark, then cultivators would easily fall into despair and self-doubt.


    Fairness and justice, everyone has an opportunity, this is also the foundation of Immortal Path¡¯s governance over the Yuan Star.


    After listening to Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance, Chen Mobai was thoughtful.


    On the Immortal Path¡¯s side, as long as you have talent and are willing to work hard, even if you can¡¯t enter the top four Daoist Academies, you can still establish your foundation in places like the top ten academies, or even the 120 Manors.


    After Foundation Establishment, choose one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal to study. As long as you can become top-class in your chosen field, then you have the chance to join various big businesses, to earn the chance to exchange for a Five Elements Gold Core.


    Take Wu Shangru for example, his talent in rune creation is outstanding, so he was recruited by the number one talisman factory of the Immortal Path.


    After the trial class ended, members of the student council immediately came in to distribute questionnaires to each student.


    And the long-serving professors at the end of the line received their forms from Chen Mobai directly. Out of respect for Che Yucheng sitting in the middle, they filled them out on the spot.


    After collecting them, Chen Mobai handed them over to Hua Zijing, then followed Che Yucheng who stood up and left first.


    ¡°Sir, at the end of the year, I will lead a team to Jumang Daoist Academy. Do you have any instructions?¡±


    On the school¡¯s mountain road, master and apprentice walked one after the other.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°What plans do you have?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Well, not anything specific. Like Little Red Sky, just promote the reputation of our Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Offline, that might not be enough for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke frankly. Although Chen Mobai had mastered the Sword Light, a rank-2 Foundation Establishment against the rank-7 Foundation Establishment from the other three great Daoist Academies, who are all top-class, he had basically no chance of winning.


    ¡°Then what is your thought, master¡­¡±


    ¡°The Pure Yang Academy wants to let Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu participate too. They say that it¡¯s to let the graduated seniors guide the juniors in school. I¡¯ve already taken the opportunity to get the other three great Daoist Academies to agree.¡±


    What Che Yucheng said left, Chen Mobai a little confused. Even if he was a good fit, coming up against these two former chiefs of the Pure Yang Academy, who had the absolute advantage of possessing the Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret, he wasn¡¯t sure of winning.


    ¡°Could it be that you want to let Lan Haitian participate again using the pretext of guiding the juniors at the offline workshop?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this possibility, presuming that the Dance Instrument Dao Academy was going to repeat an old trick.


    ¡°Lan Haitian has already taken the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill and has gone into closed-door cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head and said something that made Chen Mobai feel disappointed. When would he be able to reach this stage?


    ¡°As Lan Haitian can¡¯t come, Xiahou Weihuan is confident that as long as he can participate, he can win against anyone. Since that¡¯s the case, I have also informed the three rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates of our Academy. This time when you lead the team, they will follow you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel curious.


    ¡°Master, can these three seniors defeat Xiahou Weihuan?¡±


    ¡°To tell you the truth, they might not definitely win. But I¡¯ve arranged something. Hong Mengkui¡¯s disciple has studied ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ I¡¯ve sent her to Duanmu sister.¡±


    ¡°Vice-principal Duanmu? Going there¡­¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai was a little confused, but halfway through he got the point and couldn¡¯t help sucking in a breath of cold air.


    Duanmu Longrong is in charge of the Treasure Trove where the highest things one can get are rank-4 magic artifacts.


    Remembering that Che Yucheng had specifically mentioned that this senior was cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ Chen Mobai instantly understood what his master¡¯s arrangements were.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a bit forced for a rank-9 Foundation Establishment true cultivator, even at the Perfection realm, to control a rank-4 magic artifact.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai felt it very strenuous to control the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a magic artifact that he had cultivated as his life¡¯s spiritual artifact using the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. He could stimulate it at most three times.


    After the third time, he felt his spiritual power being drained. He was dizzy, and his vitality and blood were fading.


    As for the rank-4¡­


    He felt that even if he was completely drained, he might not be able to activate it.


    ¡°You¡¯re underestimating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯¡­¡±

 Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_1

    Chapter 447: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_1


    Although the Dance Tool Dao Academy possesses two techniques of Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai, who has focused on the Pure Yang Scroll, is still not very familiar with ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    He only knows that this technique is a tool cultivator¡¯s technique, and is one of the fastest tactics to cross realms in the cultivator¡¯s world.


    But the key to success lies entirely on the ¡°tool¡±.


    For instance, Zhongli Tianyu, who has a Rank-4 Bagua Mirror, cultivates at such a swift speed that it even made Chen Mobai envious.


    ¡°By the way, teacher, since I am leading the team, could I designate the students of the Daoist Academy to participate in this offline exchange and competition?¡±


    Upon thinking of this, Chen Mobai suddenly raised a question, which caught Che Yucheng by surprise.


    ¡°Who are you thinking of bringing?¡±


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu. He also has a Rank-4 Magic Artifact, and his cultivation level is not weak. He can be considered a useful combat power.¡±


    ¡°As for him, it¡¯s better to give him a heads-up in advance. I have a good relationship with the patriarch of the Zhongli family and I promised to look after him.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded.


    The master and disciple chatted for a while before parting at the fork in the road of the main building.


    Before leaving, Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai the contact information of three people.


    They are the three Foundation Establishment ninth level graduates that he invited to assist, named Sun Daoji, Chi Shicheng, and Bian Jingchun.


    Among them, Bian Jingchun is the senior who cultivated ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, she is the disciple of Hong Mengkui, the master of Crimson City, and she is currently refining a Rank-4 magic artifact in the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai contacted all of them.


    Sun Daoji answered the call instantly. After introducing themselves, they had a friendly conversation and got to know each other.


    Chi Shicheng returned the call after a while. After graduation, he had joined a scientific research department under the immortals through the Academy¡¯s connections. He was quite busy with his current project, so he was not able to answer the call immediately.


    But he stated that his project will end at the end of the year, and has already taken time off in advance for the Daoist Academy offline exchange and competition.


    Both of them knew Chen Mobai.


    After all, as Little Red Sky expanded over the past two years, Chen Mobai, who has consistently led the ranking by a significant margin, has become a widely known figure.


    Everyone considers him as having a high probability of reaching Core Formation and even sees Chen Mobai as the next Lan Haitian.


    After a friendly exchange, Chen Mobai called Bian Jingchun.


    However, it seemed that the senior student was in closed-door cultivation, and she did not respond even after two days.


    Chen Mobai simply sent her a text message and put the matter at the back of his mind.


    After all, she is currently in the Treasure Trove. Once she finishes her cultivation, it would be easy to arrange a meeting with the Student Council.


    Of course, the main reason is that Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique has reached a critical breakthrough point again.


    Actually, it should not have happened so soon, but at the beginning of the year, due to Meng Huang and Chan¡¯s failures in reaching the Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai fell into a state of entering tranquility.


    After he came out of his confusion on his own, his divine sense greatly improved.


    Moreover, with the continuous supply of Spirit Dew from Clear Eyesight Bamboo and the intense battles in the Tianhe Realm not long ago, his perspectives and state of mind have broadened.


    Finally, today, the Green Paulownia Seedling which has differentiated grew robustly and bore flowers and fruits.


    With the experience of the first fusion of divine sense, this time Chen Mobai completed the unity of the divine sense very easily, without even taking the God Returning Pill, simply by listening to the opera singing of Meng Huang in the chat records.


    After completing the Divine Manipulation Technique once again, Chen Mobai¡¯s realm of divine sense astonishingly reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The improvement of divine sense is like a tiger with wings added for cultivation.


    Chen Mobai felt that he could control spiritual power, run cultivation techniques, and refine spiritual qi more swiftly and smoothly.


    Moreover, he distinctly perceived that his divine sense could grow further again.


    Because he took the heart of the divine wood, although his realm is currently only the second level of Foundation Establishment, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion is as expansive as a sixth-level cultivator¡¯s.


    The so-called bottleneck in cultivation refers to the limitations of the Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    When the Qi Sea in the Dantian is filled with spiritual power, it needs to be expanded again to accommodate more; the Sea of Knowledge works the same way. When the divine sense fills up the Purple Palace, it cannot grow anymore, and if it continues to grow, the head would explode.


    The immortals divide the two original expansions of the Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge into eight times, naturally greatly reducing the difficulties of breakthrough.


    Despite his low current realm, Chen Mobai can grow his divine sense without concerns, because his Purple Palace has been cultivated to the equivalent of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    It still has a lot of space now, it is far from reaching its limit.


    That¡¯s why after merging the divine consciousness for the second time, his divine consciousness doubled, jumping past the third level of Foundation Establishment, and directly increased to the equivalent of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Observing the jade green Plane Tree, which has grown four fruits, in his Sea of Knowledge, Chen Mobai felt that he had completely mastered the Divine Manipulation Technique.

    Therefore, he decided to cultivate two Green Paulownia seedlings after the fused divine sense fully blended in.


    One would be used for fusion, and the other would be used solely to control the Faceless Puppet.


    As the situation in the Tianhe Realm becomes increasingly tense, he might need to stay in the Divine Wood Sect for a long time, but he needs to cover both the immortal world and the Daoist Academy, so it¡¯s necessary to create a clone.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body gave Chen Mobai inspiration.


    It was clear that this older generation¡¯s expert also divided his mind into thoughts. His real body stayed with Chu Zuoshu to protect the main forces of the sect, while his puppet body stayed with them, possibly to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, or maybe for some other protective purpose. All this was done without anyone noticing any flaws.

 Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 448: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_2


    Chen Mobai was taught by Che Yucheng, and learned the art of puppet mastery, although he hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it earlier due to his focus on cultivating the basic Pure Yang Scroll.


    Therefore, he dedicated these two days to learn more. While Che Yucheng found it a bit strange, he was nonetheless delighted to see his disciple willing to learn the puppetry technique.


    Under the careful guidance of a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai learned the trick quickly.


    His real body and the faceless puppet looked at each other. Following the techniques taught by Che Yucheng, the puppet¡¯s face and skin transformed until it resembled another Chen Mobai.


    The feeling of looking at oneself was very novel.


    After the puppet body was successfully created. Chen Mobai even let it attend the student council on his behalf. Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan didn¡¯t notice that the person they¡¯ve spent the entire day with was just a puppet.


    Chen Mobai was very pleased.


    In the future, his real body and the faceless puppet could separately oversee the student council and the Divine Wood Sect. When his real body was busy, the puppet could manage things on its behalf.


    After finishing most of the preparations, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm for a while.


    His real body stayed in a desolate mountain, while his divine sense controlled the faceless puppet on a trip to the Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    The whole place was charred black. The spiritual energy was mixed with a putrid smell. Fortunately, as it was a puppet body that didn¡¯t need to absorb spiritual energy and relied solely on the superior spirit stone in its body for energy, it did not get affected.


    ¡°Could this be the¡­ Bead that Breaks Meridians!¡±


    Although Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t seen this situation before, he had heard about the Bead that Breaks Meridians from some in the Divine Wood Sect. The current status of Rolling Thunder Mountain looked like the aftermath of a blast by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, where the veins of the earth were tainted by ancient poison.


    If the clan of Nan Shi truly used such a lethal weapon, it was no wonder that Fu Zongjue could not hold them off.


    With the Spirit Vein of Rolling Thunder Mountain contaminated, no cultivator could be found in the vicinity anymore.


    Chen Mobai could only feel regretful and then issued a few message talismans to his two disciples, Chu Zuoshu, Yue Zutao, and other acquaintances.


    However, after waiting for two days, he received no response.


    He could only leave the puppet body there and have his real body retreat back to the cultivation institute.


    But upon his return, Chen Mobai felt something was amiss.


    Being just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the sensation of having his divine sense split across two realms caused him to feel a disconcerting dizziness.


    He felt as if his mind had been stretched across the ends of the earth. His instinct was to merge back into one, but due to the immeasurable distance, he could do nothing.


    Thankfully, although his divine sense was divided across two realms, it did not disappear or get damaged.


    During episodes of weakness and dizziness, Chen Mobai forced himself to get accustomed to the sensation.


    After all, if he wanted to manage both the cultivation institute and Tianhe realm in the future, his real body and puppet body would have to remain separated in the two realms for a long time.


    Luckily, the dizziness was bearable for Chen Mobai.


    He opened up his chat history with Meng Huang and repeatedly played her melodious opera recording. Initially, it did offer some relief.


    However, after a few plays, Chen Mobai realized that the opera no longer had any effect on him.


    But he had already known this.


    The songs and voices of cultivators practicing the Way of Music contained unique spiritual power fluctuations that were as melodious as the music of nature. Although the records and videos available online were pleasant to the ears, they didn¡¯t have the same spiritual effects as hearing them live.


    It was because of this that Bian Yiqing had to bring Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang to travel throughout the whole cultivation institute and its blessed lands to enlighten the young cultivators. Only by hearing it directly could they potentially stimulate their minds and understand the divine sense.


    Of course, an immersive record bought back home initially does have some kind of spiritual effect.


    However, as time passes and with each play, this spiritual effect would eventually disappear.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice chat history with Meng Huang has been used multiple times when he was trying to merge his divine sense into one for the first time.


    But now, its spiritual effect had all been drained.


    Thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn¡¯t contacted Meng Huang in a long time.


    He wondered whether she had found any opportunity to reach the threshold of laws after failing her Foundation Establishment during her tour around the cultivation institute.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai sent Meng Huang a long overdue message.


    [Are you there?]


    He waited for a long time, but there was no response.


    She must be busy, maybe singing a song.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai felt his head slightly alleviate from dizziness after listening to Meng Huang¡¯s opera. He didn¡¯t want to bother her further and had to distract himself.


    He opened his friends list.


    Chen Mobai was surprised to see that Qing Nu, who he¡¯d marked as special, was online. He sent her an emoji out of curiosity.


    [What¡¯s up?]


    Qing Nu promptly replied with three words.


    Chen Mobai: [Are you at school at the end of the year?]


    Qing Nu: [I should be.]


    Chen Mobai: [What do you mean you should be (question face)]


    Qing Nu: [I recently joined a department of a Dao sect under the recommendation of my advisor to prepare to obtain the Jade Return Pill after graduation. The department occasionally assigns me urgent tasks, and I just finished assisting in the creation of a large batch of Golden Wind and Dew Cream, so I¡¯m currently free. But I can¡¯t say the same about the end of the year. Why do you ask? Are you looking to visit me during the holidays instead of returning to Red Sandstone City?]


    Qing Nu and Chen Mobai have a deep friendship. They met at a time when they were insignificant, and know each other well through incidents involving Kong Feichen and Yang Jing. Hence, Qing Nu¡¯s speech is casual and direct.


    Chen Mobai: [Exactly, I¡¯m bringing a team to attend the offline exchange forum organized by your Daoist Academy at the end of the year. I thought we haven¡¯t met for three years, we might be able to gather this year.]


    Qing Nu:[I almost forgot you are now the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I¡¯ll try my best, but the department I joined has strict rules, so I can¡¯t promise I¡¯ll be available.]


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai responded with a ¡°Okay¡± emoji.


    Then he inquired about the three kinds of longevity elixirs offered at the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute and asked if she could prepare them if he provided the medicinal herbs.


    Qing Nu: [Probably not, these specialized elixirs typically require dedicated cultivation pools and pill furnaces to prepare. In other words, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute orders pill-refining magical instruments from large equipment factories to refine the elixirs in a way that minimizes failure rates and potential toxicity.]


    Qing Nu:[If I were to refine these myself without the tailor-made instruments, I¡¯d probably have to fail a few times before finally getting it right. Even then, the toxin content would likely exceed the limit.]


    Qing Nu:[It would be too wasteful. For these specific elixirs, it¡¯s better to just buy them directly. By the way, why do you need to replenish your life span?]


    Chen Mobai:[It¡¯s not for me. It¡¯s for a friend who did some misguided things when they were younger¡­]


    Since Qing Nu also lives in Red Sandstone City and might meet Chen Xinglan in the future, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided not to use his father as an excuse again.


    Qing Nu: [Oh.]


    After chatting a little more, Chen Mobai shared his experience of the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, expressing his gratitude to Qing Nu once again.


    After all, the Divine Manipulation Technique was specially selected by Qing Nu for him, and it indeed perfectly fit his needs.


    Qing Nu: [It¡¯s because of your exceptional talent.]


    This comment warmed Chen Mobai¡¯s heart. Praises from others didn¡¯t feel as genuine as this simple compliment from Qing Nu.


    After all, apart from the resources in the Tianhe Realm, his current success could also be attributed to the Soul Awakening Dao Pill given to him by Qing Nu.


    If not for this pill, he might still be struggling like Meng Huang, worrying all day about how to establish his foundation and comprehend the critical Daoist techniques.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai wondered if Qing Nu could exchange another Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    It wasn¡¯t for his own use but for Meng Huang. He wondered whether he could ¡°buy¡± some time at her opera house with it and solve the Divine Consciousness problem.


    But after thinking it over, Chen Mobai chose not to ask.


    He felt a little embarrassed and couldn¡¯t bring himself to ask the question.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Perhaps he could hint this information to Meng Huang and let her figure out how to obtain a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    After chatting with Qing Nu for a while longer, they wished each other goodnight.


    Chen Mobai stayed up until the next transmission time and returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    Withdrawing his Divine Sense from his Puppet, Chen Mobai felt a long lost sense of clarity and refreshment.


    He even sensed an increase in his Divine Sense, as if this had been a good method for Divine Consciousness growth. However, it made him a bit dizzy and didn¡¯t suit him very well.

 Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: Chapter 322 The Outcome of War_1

    Chapter 449: Chapter 322 The Outcome of War_1


    Chen Mobai estimated the time and felt that the battle between the Core Formation elders should have had a result, so he left the barren mountains.


    Rolling Thunder Mountain¡¯s Spirit Vein was polluted and there were no longer any cultivators.


    Chen Mobai had no intention of heading to Rock Country. The most urgent matter was to find out the result of the battle between the two sects.


    After thinking for a moment, he headed towards a local Fang market in Lei Nation.


    However, just as he began to fly into the sky, a message talisman flew towards Chen Mobai.


    Upon looking at it, he couldn¡¯t help but show a relieved expression.


    It was sent by Yue Zutao. Though Rolling Thunder Mountain was broken, Fu Zongjue managed to save most of the people from the Divine Wood Sect.


    They were now recuperating in the Luyang Mountain Market closest to Rolling Thunder Mountain. Chu Zuoshu had taken the severely injured sect disciples back to Giant Tree Ridge and left Yue Zutao in charge of gathering the scattered survivors of the war.


    Chen Mobai had his sect nameplate with him and happened to be within the range of the message talisman, so he received Yue Zutao¡¯s message intended for all the missing Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    He immediately drove the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± towards Luyang Mountain Market.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re safe.¡±


    Yue Zutao was personally waiting at the entrance of the market. Seeing Chen Mobai unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°What¡¯s the outcome of the battle among the higher-ups?¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Yue Zutao into a Divine Wood Sect store in the market. The two sat in the topmost loft, and after exchanging some pleasantries, he directly asked the most critical question.


    If the two Core Formation elders were defeated, their Divine Wood Sect would likely return to the Five Elements sect.


    ¡°With Elder Zhou and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff making their moves, even if Ji Zhenshi broke through to the late stage of Core Formation, he would still meet a dead end. However, when Ji Zhenshi was about to die, Kong Lingling of Snow-blowing Palace and Yan Shaoyin of Back to Sky Valley proposed reconciliation. In addition, Nan Shidao hurried over too, leaving the two elders no choice but to spare his life.¡±


    In other words, all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, except the Five Elements Sect, became involved in this war.


    Although it was expected, both Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace used to rely on Mountain Shaker Peak of Liu Jia Mountain to survive in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Core Formation elders were well aware of the phrase ¡®When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.¡¯


    If the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff joined forces to destroy the Shake Mountain and kill Ji Zhenshi today, their two sects might also meet the same fate tomorrow.


    Hence, no matter how unwilling they were, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley had to intervene and at least save Ji Zhenshi¡¯s life.


    But there seemed to be something missing in all of this.


    After discussing with Yue Zutao, both of them found the war very strange. Although Meng Hong, the sect leader, and the two elders could clearly see the signs of provocation, they still initiated the war, even involving all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness except the Five Elements Sect.


    It seemed as if they were deliberately stirring things up, trying to change the layout of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the Five Elements Sect made a move?¡±


    Yue Zutao figured out the crux of the matter, and Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    Theoretically, if the Five Elements Sect were to cooperate with the other sects, they could potentially reabsorb the separate Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff, but they showed no signs of intervention.


    They allowed the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff to join forces and again pressured the other four major sects to unite.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Master Chu know?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. Chu Zuoshu, as the next sect leader, was already the highest-ranking person under the two elders. He was also the chief commander in this attack on Mountain Shaker Peak. If he didn¡¯t know anything, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic.


    ¡°Master said that the Sect Leader wanted to clear things inside and outside the sect before his retirement, so as to leave Master an easier control of the three halls and twelve branches. The war against Shake Mountain was roughly planned last year, and after the Spirit Stone Mine started to lose money, the Sect Leader took advantage of the situation and planned to use this as an excuse to attack Rock Country.¡±


    Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment, but felt that Chen Mobai was trustworthy, and then revealed what he knew to him.


    ¡°What about Brother Yuan and Fu?


    ¡°The Sect Leader just wanted them to casually investigate, but who would have expected them to discover a mysterious force behind Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu, after which things got a bit out of control.¡±


    ¡°Apart from the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, are there any other forces?¡±


    ¡°The various chambers of commerce, and the grand leaders of areas outside the Eastern Wilderness, even the Five Elements Sect has to tread lightly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai did not ask any more questions. At least their Sect elders had won, which was the best news.


    ¡°Brother Weng, Brother Xi, have they responded?¡±

    Of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who occupied the Spirit Stone Mine, to avoid being pursued by the army of Shake Mountain, they all fled in different directions.


    Chen Mobai had fought Ji Dingjin and bought them some time, but even so, their chances of survival were slim.


    ¡°Elder Brother Wang¡¯s corpse was found at the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation. He seems to have been caught up with by the army, and there has been no news from the others. You are the first to respond to the message talisman.¡±


    When Yue Zutao said this, his expression was gloomy.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect had triumphed in this war, their losses were severe, with eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators dead.

 Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: Chapter 322 War Outcome_2

    Chapter 450: Chapter 322 War Outcome_2


    Furthermore, seven are still unaccounted for and whether or not they are alive is unknown.


    Even though the Divine Wood Sect is strong, this incident could be likened to a crippling wound.


    ¡°May the blessings of heaven keep them all safe and sound,¡± Chen Mobai exclaimed, before inquiring about the current situation between the two sects.


    ¡°As victors, our Divine Wood Sect should naturally recover our losses from the Shake Mountain Peak. Our two founding ancestors are currently negotiating with the Core Formation ancestors of the remaining four sects, with the aim to have Shake Mountain Peak compensate us with a small Spirit Stone Mine and two Miniature Lingshi Mines.¡±


    This accounts for nearly half of the Shake Mountain¡¯s assets. No one would willingly accept this.


    However, Yue Zutao remarked that Dudan ancestors from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, who had no intention of participating in the war, only wanted to save Ji Zhenshi¡¯s life. Therefore, this matter was still negotiable.


    ¡°So basically, the war is over?¡± Chen Mobai asked. Yue Zutao nodded in agreement.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader can successfully establish his core, then even if Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace enter the war, our Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff would surely annihilate Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    After chatting for a while, suddenly, two Qi Cultivation disciples came up from downstairs.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a relief to know you are well,¡± they said.


    The visitors were Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan. Under Yue Zutao¡¯s care, although they had experienced several major battles, they had been able to safely survive.


    However, their faces were very pale. Chen Mobai could tell that something was not right with them.


    ¡°The two disciples were affected by the strength of the Bead that Breaks Meridians. The toxic gas entered their bodies and may have damaged their foundation. The Alchemy Department is already preparing the antidote Spirit Pill. All sect disciples who participated in this war can get it for free.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression also darkened.


    He signaled for his disciples to extend their arms so he could check their pulses. After inspection, he found that Luo Yixuan was only slightly weak and otherwise fine.


    On the other hand, it seemed that Liu Wenbo¡¯s vitality had been blunted, as if he had lost several years of his lifespan.


    ¡°Master, it may be because of the spell you maintained within me for a long time. When the toxic gas entered my body, my meridians instinctively produced a harmonizing yang energy, neutralizing some of it. So, I was not as badly affected as my fellow disciple,¡± Luo Yixuan quietly informed Chen Mobai through a sound transmission spell. Upon hearing this, light dawned on Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Yue, I will take them back to the sect.¡±


    Yue Zutao did not object and even personally escorted them out of Fang Market.


    ¡°Bear with it.¡±


    Above the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Chen Mobai extended his fingertips and incorporated the Flame Lighting Technique into Liu Wenbo¡¯s body.


    A trace of dark energy suddenly surfaced on Liu Wenbo¡¯s originally pale face, and then slowly seeped out, eventually dissipating into thin air.


    ¡°Thanks, Master.¡±


    After the toxic gas in his body was expelled by the Flame Lighting Technique, Liu Wenbo coughed up a mouthful of black blood. However, his face instantly looked much better. He struggled to salute Chen Mobai, but was stopped.


    ¡°Rest well, this is a good opportunity for you. You previously consumed pills to improve your cultivation, making your foundation unstable. Now that this toxic gas has taken away two of your realm levels, it might end up being a blessing in disguise.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, being born into a prestigious family, has basically been relying on medicine to practice cultivation till now. When he pledged allegiance to Chen Mobai, the foundation of his body was already fixed and the damage done by pills was deep. It was not easy to change this.


    If things continued this way, even if he had the Foundation Building Pill, the chance of success would be very low.


    However, the entry of toxic gas this time removed his level nine Qi cultivation, dropping him to level seven. There is a chance that this misfortune could be transformed into a blessing.


    There are still three years before the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature. He should have enough time to become a True Disciple.


    ¡°Master, I heard that brother Yu Lian also got your help, which allowed him to get the second place in the real transfer.¡±


    On the way, Liu Wenbo sat cross-legged at the edge of the misty cloud, holding two Spirit Stones in his hand, trying to recover his cultivation level as soon as possible. After detoxification, Luo Yixuan took the opportunity to ask Chen Mobai various questions.


    ¡°The main reason is that he was able to rank among the top in the True Disciples. I wonder how many Foundation Building Pills Brother Zeng could prepare this time?¡±


    At the beginning of the year, the alchemy department had already collected all the main and auxiliary ingredients needed to refine the foundation building pills. By now, the pills should be ready to come out of the oven. Last time, Zeng Woyou successfully made two of them. Here¡¯s hoping this time wouldn¡¯t be any lesser than the previous one.


    ¡°Had I known the sect would be making Foundation Establishment Pills this year, I wouldn¡¯t have held back last year.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan said this, her pale little face was full of regret.


    ¡°Even if you had gone all out, you still wouldn¡¯t have been able to beat Yu Lian and Mu Yuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai told her the truth. Initially, he thought that Luo Yixuan would argue back, but she just nodded seriously, a look of relief flashing across her face, as if she would believe anything he, her mentor, said.


    The trio of master and disciples flew on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± for half a month before they finally returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Upon returning to the sect, Chen Mobai received some great news.


    Zeng Woyou has succeeded in producing three Foundation Establishment Pills.


    Mu Yuan, Yu Lian, and Li Yixian, the three true disciples, didn¡¯t hesitate at all, rushing to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to make requests for the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills.


    ¡°I hope at least one of them would be successful. The sect has lost quite a few foundation establishment cultivators this time.¡±


    Within the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu and Chen Mobai sat facing each other, the former sighed as he spoke.


    As the inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai naturally had to report to Chu Zuoshu as soon as he returned to the sect. It was through him that he got the good news about Zeng Woyou¡¯s success in refining three pills.


    ¡°Mu Yuan¡¯s contribution points for the sect have been prepared by the Sect Leader; Li Yixian, as a true disciple of the puppet department, has also managed to scrape together enough somehow; only Yu Lian who has been cultivating at Shan Hongyi¡¯s mountain gate for the past few years, hasn¡¯t accumulated much. He gave the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture to the sect in exchange for enough contribution points.¡±


    Listening to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was very surprised.


    Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm view the inheritance of cultivation techniques as more important than their own lives.


    For Yu Lian to give up the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s cultivation technique for a Foundation Establishment Pill, not only did it help him earn contribution points, but it probably also expressed his loyalty to the sect.


    Although Yu Lian¡¯s second place standing among the true disciples wasn¡¯t suspended thanks to Chen Mobai, the underlying potential problem still persisted.


    After all, even though three Foundation Establishment Pills have been produced, none of them have been placed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion yet. Until they are actually in someone¡¯s hands, the situation can always change.


    Recently, the disciple of the artifact refining department who ranked fourth among the true disciples has been trying to find ways to pull Yu Lian down from his position.


    At this time, Yu Lian trading the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture for contributions to the sect was undoubtedly a smart move.


    According to Chu Zushu, the Sect Leader had already decided who would receive the three Foundation Establishment Pills.


    It would be the top three True Disciples.


    ¡°Hall Master, do you know how many people in the sect can practice the Green Flames Sword Slaughter by using the sect¡¯s Green wood evil?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question. After the war, he deeply felt that his cultivation level was still too weak. If he could master the Sword Sha, he would not have to use a short teleportation talisman to escape when he encounters Ji Dingjin next time.


    ¡°Oh, has your Qingyang fire technique been fully developed?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu had already witnessed Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light on the battlefield. In order to master the Green Flames Sword Slaughter which is a part of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Red Flame Sword Charm, beside being in the sword light realm, one also needs to fully develop the Qingyang fire technique. With this, they could condense the Green wood evil and eventually burn the evil with fire, bringing the power of the sword light to a higher realm.


    ¡°It should happen in the next few days.¡±


    During his time in the immortal sect, Chen Mobai had not wasted any time. Using the spiritual energy of fire vein from the Treasure Trove, he had integrated Yue Zutao¡¯s Qingyang fire seed into his own Qingyang fire.


    In addition to getting the Pure Green Technique from the Talent Tree and making a breakthrough in his divine sense, the enhancement of his fire seed which originally would have taken several months has now nearly completed.


    ¡°Ever since Elder Fu condensed the evil, the quantity of Green wood evil has recovered over fifty years. It should currently be enough to condense twenty-one swords evil. However, Xie Yuntian has already reserved all of it, and I¡¯m afraid it might be difficult to ask him to give some up.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chu Zuoshu was truthful and let out a sigh.


    ¡°Well, it seems I¡¯ll have to find a way outside of the sect.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai had no choice. After all, in terms of seniority, cultivation level, and even contributions to the sect, Xie Yuntian, the head of the sword training department, surpassed Chen Mobai, who had only established his foundation four years ago.


    ¡°But you¡¯re mine, so I¡¯ll find a way.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai had given up all hope, Chu Zuoshu gave a mysterious smile, resurrecting his hopes once again.

 Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: Chapter 323 Intimate Disciple_1

    Chapter 451: Chapter 323 Intimate Disciple_1


    One day, Chen Mobai was observing the hybrid spiritual rice sown in the spring with Zhuo Ming.


    Some are double-cropping and now we can observe the adaptability of the finished product.


    ¡°Focus on these five in the future. After the rest are harvested, you can use them to brew wine.¡±


    After looking at all the spiritual rice, Chen Mobai confirmed that the five hybrid spiritual rices were within the feasibility range of adapting to Rank-2 earth qi, and asked Zhuo Ming to remember them.


    The ones used to make wine are the failed products of cultivating Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Over these years, besides the spiritual rice contributed to the sect, Zhuo Ming uses the remaining to brew wine. Because the price of selling it directly is too low and it¡¯s not as popular as fasting pills.


    Thanks to the excellent yeast Chen Mobai brought from his hometown, the wine he brewed was quite good, each with a unique flavor. Infused with various herbs, it has now become a unique local flavor of Divine Wood City.


    When people mention South Mountain Shop, even those keen on cultivating in the sect know that the wine from this shop is exceptional.


    At this time, a young girl in a moon-white gown, with a delicate figure and exquisite face, but somewhat pale, walked over.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Luo Yixuan with slight surprise. Although the poisonous gas from the Bead that Breaks Meridians did not affect his disciple¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique much, it still damaged her vitality. After returning to the mountain, he asked both her and Liu Wenbo to focus on healing.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to rest? Why are you here again?¡±


    ¡°Five green wood evils have been put up at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Master, you asked me to keep an eye on it. So, as soon as I got the news, I rushed over.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a trace of joy. Chu Zuoshu lived up to his position as Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall and presumably the next sect leader, for he actually managed to get Xie Yuntian to give up five green wood evils.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, prepare some good wine. I will go to thank Hall Master Chu.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming was not quite certain why Chen Mobai was so delighted, she obediently went to the wine cellar and fetched a small jug of precious Rank-2 Spiritual Wine, as well as five jugs of different types of Rank-1 Spiritual Wine.


    Luo Yixuan carried the wine and followed Chen Mobai as he flew towards Divine Wood City.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mobai showed his own sect nameplate, and a familiar Foundation Establishment cultivator came out.


    This person¡¯s name is Chen Zhenwu. He is also one of the Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall. On the battlefield of Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mo Bai and he assisted Chu Zuoshu in practicing the Azure Light Formation together. They chatted a bit because of their shared surname.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s great to meet you again in our sect.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu is also one of the rotating head elders of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. This month is his duty, and he needs to handle the exchange of precious items such as Foundation Building Pills in person.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. As long as everything has been arranged by Chu Zuoshu, the Evil was up for sale and the person who could handle the exchange was in front of him, then it meant these five Greens Wood evils were for him.


    Many Qi Cultivation disciples were in the main hall, and their faces showed respect when they saw the two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Brother Chen, let¡¯s talk inside.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu led Chen Mobai and his disciple into a partition on the second floor of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, where a pot of tea was already brewing.


    ¡°Although the sect possesses Green Wood Evil, it has always been regarded as taboo by the Sword Cultivation Division, so it has not been on sale in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to avoid being exchanged out. Chu Hall Master had to ask Fu Inspector specially to act as the middleman, and they both invited Xie Division Head for tea, with multiple pleas to reluctantly agree to let go of the five Green Wood Evil. Brother Chen, you should remember this favor.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu is not really Chu Zuoshu¡¯s man, but a direct subordinate of Fu Huakun, inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Chu Zuoshu has been confirmed to be the next Sect Leader, the position of Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall has naturally become the goal of those who have ambitions.


    The most likely candidates are Vice Hall Master Luo Xue¡¯er and Inspector Fu Huakun.


    Among them, Fu Huakun has the support of Elder Fu, but doesn¡¯t have as much experience as Luo Xue¡¯er.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, being a Shenmu Hall native and a direct descendant of the Sect Leader, has once served as the inspector of the Alchemy Division and the head of the Spirit Plant Division, and thus has a wide network of connections.


    However, as the final battle on the frontline has not yet ended, both people are restrained and are only secretly trying to win over those who have the voting power.


    As one of the inspectors of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai also has a vote.


    ¡°Inspector Fu stood up for me during the Rolling Thunder Mountain Battlefield. Naturally, I lean towards him.¡±


    Even though it was ultimately Chen Mobai who faced off against Mu Hanxiong, this favor is certainly worth remembering.


    Also, if Fu Huakun truly helped with the matter of Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai would support him even more.

    Even though Luo Xue¡¯er is more likely to succeed the Reward Virtue Hall, in politics, even if you have mistaken positions, you cannot give people the impression of being mean and ungrateful.


    Chen Zhenwu mentioned the key points of the matter.


    Xie Yuntian, as the head of the Sword Cultivation Division, has great prestige due to his strong fighting power, and is considered the first among the twelve divisions. However, although he has practiced Sword Light, another key to Condensing Sword Demons, Qingyang Fire, has not yet fully integrated.


    The Qingyang Fire Seeds that have been placed on sale by the sect in recent decades have all been exchanged by Xie Yuntian.


    As the only Sword Cultivator in the sect who has practiced Sword Light besides Chen Mobai, it is only a matter of time before Xie Yuntian completes Qingyang Fire Seed. If he wanted to monopolize Green Wood Evil, no one would dare to disrespect him.

 Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2

    Chapter 452: Chapter 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2


    Just for this reason, there was always no Green Wood Evil on the shelves in Spirit Treasure Pavilion, as it was generally accepted as belonging to Xie Yuntian.


    Previously, Yue Zutao had also reminded him of this matter.


    Thus, when Chen Mobai expressed his intention to cultivate Sword Sha, the first person he needed to convince was Xie Yuntian.


    Although Chu Zuoshu could use his blue blood with the Reward Virtue Hall to forcibly have the Green Wood Evil put on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion shelf, this would no doubt provoke animosity with Xie Yuntian.


    This would definitely be detrimental to his future control of the sect.


    If it were not for the fact that Chen Mobai is already considered Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct descendant, and has a great future ahead of him, being the most likely young genius to achieve Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu would have feigned ignorance and let Chen Mobai figure out a solution on his own, regardless of who came to him.


    Even so, Chu Zuoshu decided to enlist Fu Huakun¡¯s help in finding Xie Yuntian.


    The Sword Training Department falls under the jurisdiction of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the master of the Penalty Evil Hall is Elder Fu. Xie Yuntian, even if he doesn¡¯t give face to Chu Zuoshu, would still give face to Elder Fu.


    During their time on Rolling Thunder Mountain, both Fu Huakun and Xie Yuntian, who rank only below Chu Zuoshu in terms of status, had personally heard Elder Fu¡¯s profuse praise of Chen Mobai.


    After the two of them found Xie Yuntian together, even though Elder Fu was currently out of town, Xie Yuntian had already figured out their purpose for coming.


    While he could refuse outright, Xie Yuntian ultimately wasn¡¯t so oppressive.


    In the end, even if he practiced his Red Flame Sword Jue to the point of Foundation Establishment Perfection, at most he could only condense fifteen Green Flames Sword Sha. Right now, both Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun meant to leave him with enough to condense sixteen Sword Sha, sacrificing five for Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Respecting the face of Chu Zuoshu, the future sect leader, Xie Yuntian agreed to this the next day.


    After that, the Green Wood Evil was put on the shelves.


    Before it was listed, Chen Zhenwu, the rotating elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, was naturally notified in advance to avoid it being exchanged by others in the sect.


    ¡°Each Green Wood Evil costs 1000 sect contributions. Are you ready, junior brother?¡±


    After finishing his tea, Chen Mobai proposed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. Chen Zhenwu chuckled as he accepted his Sect Nameplate, deducted 5000 points with a mild shock after seeing the amount it held.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you truly are a dark horse.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit weird hearing Chen Zhenwu¡¯s response. After checking for himself, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a mild surprise.


    After deducting the sect contributions needed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil, it turned out he still had 16950 points left.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming has done a good job managing the spiritual fields of Xiao Nanshan in the last two years. I didn¡¯t realize I had accumulated so many sect contribution points.¡±


    Upon thinking it over, Chen Mobai knew what was going on. However, he still found it strange.


    Out of the sixty mu of spiritual fields on Xiao Nanshan, all of it is used to grow Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and experiment with various hybrid spiritual rices. Only six mu of the spiritual fields can grow Jade Bud Spirit Rice and are supplied to the sect because their spiritual energy is thin and only Rank-1.


    Even if it yields 200 jin per mu, it would only be a select 3600 sect contribution points over the past three years.


    Adding to the contributions he had previously saved himself, and the sect¡¯s 1000 points awarded for the war, according to his estimate, would be just enough to exchange for five Green Wood Evil.


    But he didn¡¯t expect that he had accumulated so many points unnoticed in his sect account.


    ¡°Master, in addition to the spirit fields of Xiao Nanshan, Elder Sister Zhuo also manages those on Small Yang Ridge. She hired a few disciples to take care of it. Last year, I accompanied her there to give rain and fertilize the soil,¡± Luo Yixuan, who was at Chen Mobai¡¯s side, noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion and promptly moved over to clue him in on what was happening while Chen Zhenwu went to fetch the Green Wood Evil.


    ¡°Did the Spirit Plant Department not reclaim the fields there?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was somewhat stupefied. Logically, when he had moved to Xiao Nanshan, the fields manipulated by the Small Yang Ridge for him should have been reclaimed by the sect and reassigned to other disciples.


    ¡°Inspector Sun from the Spirit Plant Department gave Elder Sister Zhuo the spirit veins of Small Yang Ridge, with nearby two mu of medicine fields and twenty-six mu of the spirit fields. Officially, she has taken on the task of caring for the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge. However, all the yearly yields are credited to you by the Spirit Plant Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai was unaware of this. However, after brief consideration, he understood the motives behind this.


    Even though there were many spirit fields on Giant Tree Ridge, not many disciples planted Spirit Rice. Xiao Nanshan¡¯s rice growers are amongst the best in the Divine Wood Sect. If other disciples started working the fields in Xiao Nanshan after Chen Mobai had left, it would definitely result in waste and delays.


    So, Sun Gaochang simply handed these over to his disciple. Zhuo Ming, this child, probably tried her level best to show filial piety and, most likely, harbored feelings for Small Yang Ridge. After all, prior to his Foundation Establishment, she had learned the methods of sowing, rendering the rain, exterminating pests, and harvesting Spirit Rice alongside him.


    Thus, unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, the harvest of the two-acre medicinal field and the twenty-six acre spirit field at Small Yang Ridge were all recorded under his account.


    In three years, he had unknowingly amassed quite a bit.


    It was enough to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    This disciple, she was too considerate and sensible.


    Although not as tactful as Luo Yixuan, she was practical and needed to be prioritized for future development.


    Chen Mobai felt his affection for Zhuo Ming had not been in vain. In return for her efforts, he had ventured out and brought back to her a Nine Ren Law Body and an Earth Master Heritage Book.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, these are five Green Wood Evils, please check them.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Zhenwu came out, carrying a wooden tray with all five jade vials sealed with charm strips.


    ¡°Thank you, Chen senior brother. I need to go thank Chu Zuoshu and Inspector Fu, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±


    After confirming there were no problems, Chen Mobai put the five Green Wood Evils into his storage bag.


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk you out.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu laughed and led Chen Mobai and his disciple down the stairs, where they unexpectedly ran into someone.


    ¡°I want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Standing at the door, Mu Yuan¡¯s usually calm demeanor fluctuated slightly ¡ª after all, this was a matter of his life¡¯s dao, even he couldn¡¯t avoid feeling a bit restless.


    ¡°I also want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    From outside the door, two voices echoed simultaneously; Yu Lian and Li Yixian from the Puppet department came in.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pill isn¡¯t available until tomorrow, you guys are early.¡±


    Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Zhenwu stepped outside to speak to Mu Yuan and the others.


    Chen Mobai observed the three men standing in the main hall of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, seemingly set on waiting until the next morning. A thought crossed his mind and he greeted them with a smile.


    ¡°Yu nephew, I¡¯ll be in Divine Wood City for the next few days. If you¡¯re not too busy after you¡¯ve exchanged for the Foundation Building Pill, you could come visit me. I have some insights about Foundation Establishment. Although they might not exceed those of our predecessors, they might still help you avoid some detours.¡±


    The moment Yu Lian heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, his face lit up as he thanked him earnestly.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will certainly come.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Mu Yuan and Li Yixian reacted differently.


    Li Yixian especially, scratched his head, looking like he wanted to come listen as well. However, in the Tianhe Realm, such matters were deeply frowned upon. Unless directly invited by Chen Mobai, he wouldn¡¯t dare to bring it up for fear of being seen as trying to steal knowledge.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but Chen Mobai could see a slight conflict in his eyes ¨C a touch of eagerness, mixed with hesitancy.


    Because of Chen Mobai¡¯s success, they both took the Beast Foundation Building Pill very seriously.


    As the only cultivator in recent decades to successfully establish his foundation by taking a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s experience could certainly light the way for them.


    Even if Li Yixian did not dare to ask, let alone Mu Yuan who had fought with Chen Mobai twice in the Sect Tournament and thought there was some animosity.

    Luo Yixuan, who left Spirit Treasure Pavilion with Chen Mobai, observed their reactions, her brow furrowed in contemplation. She carefully pondered the deeper meaning behind her master¡¯s words, quietly learning on her own.


    Next, she followed Chen Mobai to thank Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun for their role in acquiring the Green Wood Evil.


    As it happened, the three of them were already together. They immediately opened the fine wine brought by Chen Mobai and enjoyed a hearty round of drinks.


    Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan served the wine, carefully noting every word exchanged among these senior Sect members.


    This was her unique way of navigating life, quite different from Zhuo Ming¡¯s approach.

 Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: Chapter 324: All Laws Persona_1

    Chapter 453: Chapter 324: All Laws Persona_1


    In the evening, Chen Mobai sat in the courtyard of his residence in Divine Wood City.


    Luo Yixuan stood by his side, serving him wine. The wine was a new brew made by Zhuo Ming, created from a mix of Jade Bud Spirit Rice and Mysterious Frost Rice. This rice variety demanded a significant amount of water during its growth and was specific about the water¡¯s quality, requiring Spirit Rain. Therefore, the resulting wine was exceedingly pure and cooling, providing a refreshing sensation as it went down.


    After Chen Mobai finished drinking, he felt invigorated. If Qi Practitioners consumed this wine regularly, it could enhance their Divine Sense.


    As for practitioners at his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, it merely satisfied the taste buds.


    ¡°A guest is arriving, go welcome them,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing his words, Luo Yixuan dutifully put down the wine cup in her hand and went to the door to let Yu Lian in.


    ¡°Chen Shishu, greetings.¡±


    ¡°Did you receive the Foundation Building Pill? Has anyone troubled you on it?¡±


    It had been two days since the trade for the Green Wood Evil. Chen Mobai had heard about how Zhen¡¯s disciple Pang Yun of the Artifact Refining department in Spirit Treasure Pavilion was quite unhappy. He wanted to fight with Yu Lian to determine the ownership of the Foundation Building Pill.


    However, Yu Lian handled it calmly. Despite his confidence, he didn¡¯t accept the challenge.


    After all, the sect¡¯s laws were there. As the second top disciple of the previous year, he rightfully deserved a Foundation Building Pill.


    Even if someone wanted to contest it, they should take it up with third place Li Yixian according to the order.


    Yu Lian¡¯s handling of the situation caused admiration from Chen Zhenwu.


    In the end, right in front of everyone, Chen Zhenwu traded the Foundation Building Pill to Yu Lian.


    True-transmission disciple Pang Yun from the Artifact Refining department was extremely reluctant, yet he dared not violate the sect¡¯s rules, so he could only watch with his own eyes as Yu Lian took away the Foundation Pill.


    According to his cultivation level, even if he failed to get this current Foundation Building Pill, he could definitely secure the traditional Foundation Pill available three years from now. If he were to fight for it now, not even the chief of the Artifact Refining department could protect him. He might even be directly discarded and removed for damaging the unity of the sect.


    ¡°The rules of the sect are paramount. I obtained the Foundation Building Pill lawfully and reasonably, no one gave me any hardship.¡±


    Yu Lian replied with a calm tone. Chen Mobai only chuckled at his words and motioned for him to sit with a gesture.


    ¡°Xuan, refill the cup so Apprentice Nephew Yu can taste Ming¡¯s Jade Frost Wine.¡±


    Luo Yixuan moved in front of Yu Lian, frowned her skirt corners slightly and tilted the wine cup in her jade-white palm, pouring him a small glass.


    Although Yu Lian didn¡¯t enjoy drinking much, since Chen Mobai was being so courteous, he drank it all in one gulp.


    After finishing the drink, he found a refreshing chill rushing straight into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, making him shudder, yet it left his mind feeling more alert and refreshed than ever before.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai said something that made him ponder deeply.


    ¡°For a sect to be stable and powerful, a unified code and standard from top to bottom are vital. Your ability to exchange for this Foundation Building Pill is also due to the upper echelons of the sect being willing to uphold these rules. After your Foundation Establishment, I hope that you¡¯ll protect the sect¡¯s rules from the bottom of your heart so that the sect can become stronger.¡±


    ¡°Chen Shishu, while the sect has rules, the Eastern Wilderness outside the sect is still chaotic. My master, senior brothers and sisters, and even all of my loved ones died before my eyes, crying out for help but receiving no answer. Since then, I¡¯ve understood that only your own strength is the most reliable,¡± Yu Lian replied.


    After drinking, Yu Lian seemed to loosen up a little and in a burst of emotions, he expressed thoughts that he had been hiding for a long time, knowing that his status was no longer a secret to the senior cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°What if the sect¡¯s rules were to cover the whole Eastern Wilderness? Would that be able to prevent tragedies like that of the Silver Sky Sect from happening again?¡± Chen Mobai counter-questioned.


    After hearing this, Yu Lian fell silent.


    ¡°Are you suggesting that the Divine Wood Sect should rule the entire Eastern Wilderness?¡± Yu asked.


    ¡°Consider it a goal I set for myself. After all, achieving the Cultivation Broken Mirror is not too difficult for me. To challenge myself in this simple lifestyle, I think this is a worthy aspiration.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan were taken aback. The latter looked at Chen Mobai with wide, bright eyes. She knew her talented young master was ambitious, but she never expected his ambitions to be this grand.


    ¡°As long as I can avenge my loved ones, I¡¯m willing to help you achieve this goal,¡± declared Yu Lian.


    He thought that Chen Mobai valued his talents, and after giving it some thought, he felt that if he could take advantage of Chen Mobai¡¯s instruction and establish his foundation to fulfill his obsession, he wouldn¡¯t mind working for Chen Mobai in the future.


    ¡°I¡¯ve looked through the files of the Silver Sky Sect. If you intend to seek revenge, your power as an established foundation might not be enough,¡± Chen Mobai shook his head lightly and started discussing the main reason for inviting Yu Lian over that day.

    ¡°If there¡¯s anything you¡¯re uncertain about regarding Foundation Establishment, feel free to ask me. I¡¯ll tell you what I know.¡±


    Hearing this, Yu Lian bit his lip, pulling out two book scrolls from his storage bag and handed them over to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai was surprised as he looked at them.


    ¡°Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture¡±!


    ¡°Myriad Law Body¡±!


    Yu Lian: ¡°Chen Shishu, these are two of the main techniques passed down by the Silver Sky Sect from the ancient Wan Gates. Please accept them.¡±

 Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: Chapter 324 All Laws Persona_2

    Chapter 454: Chapter 324 All Laws Persona_2


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The reason I am instructing you is because I feel that you¡¯re a person of character. Moreover, no matter how powerful the techniques of the Eternal Gate are, my foundation has already been set, so to me, these are merely useless books.¡±


    Yu Lian: ¡°The All Laws Persona is compatible with any cultivation technique. It was the ultimate technique that the Eternal Gate used to dominate the Eastern Wilderness. But because it¡¯s extremely difficult to practice, it has always been kept in the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s treasury. Uncling Chen, your talents are astonishing. You comprehended the Sword Rainbow Fission during the early stages of foundation establishment. This technique might be able to regain its glory under your cultivation.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    However powerful the All Laws Persona might be, could it possibly be more formidable than the Fairy Gate¡¯s Divinity Transformation method?


    Moreover, he still hadn¡¯t mastered his Pure Yang Daoist Body. How could he have time to distract himself with the All Laws Persona?


    Even if he wanted to practice body forging, it would be better for him to practice the Taoist Body technique that only needed resources to achieve greatness. It better suited someone of his average talent.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re so considerate, I will accept it. I can also take this opportunity to examine the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture that you¡¯re practicing and speculate about your potential for foundation establishment.¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai only wanted to verbally share some of his experience in foundation establishment. After all, he had succeeded after two attempts at foundation establishment and had direct experience of the subtle changes in spirit, energy, and consciousness.


    He believed that he understood the process of foundation establishment more thoroughly than anyone else who succeeded in the Tianhe realm.


    But since Yu Lian was so considerate, he felt that if he were to ask him to help retrieve the tree fruit from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would need to invest some resources as well.


    ¡°Wait here for a moment; I will go and get a magic artifact.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he went back to his room. Then, he took out the Featureless Puppet from his storage bag, took out the high-grade spirit stone inside, and replaced it with an intermediate-grade spirit stone.


    Although it had been a while since he had used the Featureless Puppet¡¯s prediction function, as Che Yucheng¡¯s direct disciple, a master of adjusting the modes and restarting it on the fly.


    After feeding the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture into the puppet, all that was needed was Yu Lian¡¯s body data model, and Chen Mobai took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and returned to the courtyard.


    ¡°Relax and don¡¯t use your spiritual power to resist the light from my mirror.¡±


    The moment he finished speaking, the powerful spiritual light from the ancient bronze mirror was so intense that Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t directly look at it and both had to lower their heads.


    [What kind of artifact is this? During the Sect Grand Competition, the rank-2 artifacts compared to this mirror were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.]


    Yu Lian was shocked.


    Contrarily, Luo Yixuan had heard during her time on the Rolling Thunder Mountain that her master possessed a rank-3 mirror artifact, so she was not surprised.


    Yet even though she knew this fact, the first time she saw the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in person, she was still stunned.


    She felt as if she were completely exposed under the radiance of the mirror, her cultivation realm concealed by the Returning Essence Secret Technique was thoroughly discovered.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was a rank-3 artifact crafted after the model of the Soulful Mirror and could also examine a cultivator¡¯s physical data thoroughly.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s activation, Yu Lian¡¯s body model data was all reflected into his sea of consciousness via the artifact.


    He then remotely transferred this through his divine sense into the Featureless Puppet to start the simulation of Yu Lian¡¯s foundation establishment scenario.


    To his surprise, it was successful on the first attempt.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, but the Featureless Puppet would display success if the probability of foundation establishment was over 50%, even though there would still be a chance of failure in reality.


    After reviewing the entire simulation process with his divine sense, he paid special attention to the glowing parts of the Featureless Puppet where spiritual power was circulating.


    He already had the answer in mind.


    ¡°Have you injured your right hand before?¡±


    Upon hearing this question, Yu Lian looked surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then gently nodded.


    ¡°When I was practicing the Silvery Sky Sword Qi initially, I injured my hand channel due to the lack of guidance. However, I think I¡¯ve recovered.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve only recovered on the surface. Your sword qi is of the orthodox Gold attribute, which is most damaging to the Wood qi. So your liver and gallbladder are a bit weaker compared to the other organs. During foundation establishment, the circulation of spiritual power will likely get blocked at this point and fail to completely carry out the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    Chen Mobai used the mirror to examine his complexion again. His face was slightly yellowish, a contrast to Luo Yixuan¡¯s delicate, almost pale white skin next to him.


    This was a sign of a weak liver and gallbladder.


    ¡°Though you feel that the meridians of your hand are fine, the part that was originally cut by the sword qi has not fully healed. It¡¯s best that your body has no flaws when you reach Foundation Establishment. This will increase the success rate of marrow washing.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yu Lian touched the wound on his right hand that was initially cut by the sword qi with his left hand. He channeled his Silvery Sky Sword Qi there fully, and indeed felt a slight sting as if being pricked by a needle.


    He had never considered this in the past, assuming that it was just the way his cultivation technique worked.


    Only now did he realize that his old wound had not healed fully.


    ¡°Uncle Master, how should I treat it?¡±


    This honest call of ¡°Uncle Master¡± by Yu Lian was sincere.


    Chen Mobai was reminded of the incident when he first encountered the girl from Divine Machine Mansion in Crimson City. Switching roles, he now appeared as a master in others¡¯ eyes.


    ¡°My knowledge on medicine is only superficial. However, the two types of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming happen to be suitable for your situation.¡±


    Chen Mobai had tasted the twenty new wines brew made from different hybrid spiritual rice by Zhuo Ming lately. Relying on the powerful Flame Lighting Technique, he figured out all their effects.


    Each new wine had a stockpile in the warehouse behind the South Mountain Shop; Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan to fetch some.


    ¡°This is Blood Activating and Meridian Connecting Wine, it¡¯s quite strong. Qi Practitioners can¡¯t drink it. Every day, moisten a handkerchief with it, then apply it to your hand wound. Continue this for a month. Within this period, don¡¯t channel your sword qi to this meridian, then you should be able to fully recover.¡±


    ¡°Liver Nourishing Wine, you can drink this. However, you need to take it with this Precious Ginseng Spiritual Rice. Cook and eat this Rank-1 top grade spiritual rice three meals per day, followed by a cup of wine. Similarly, continue for a month. In this period, don¡¯t cultivate and let your liver and gallbladder rest and recuperate.¡±


    Chen Mobai also found that Yu Lian¡¯s heart was beating especially strong, and there was a strand of untamed and pure spiritual energy in his three burners.


    ¡°Have you consumed a fire attribute spiritual medicine?¡±


    After hesitating, Chen Mobai directly asked. Yu Lian was indeed surprised. However, at this point, he was wholeheartedly convinced by Chen Mobai, and honestly revealed his past experience of eating a fiery red lotus in an underground heavenly pool in Snow Country when he was a child.


    It was after this incident that his body started to transform, and his cultivation became smoother.


    ¡°Hmm, no wonder your sword qi is quite pure. Fire refines metal, your Gold Spiritual Power is refined by this fire spirit energy each time it cycles through your three burners and heart. This is rather beneficial for your Foundation Establishment, since your spiritual power has less waste and dan poison. As long as your liver and gallbladder restore, there are basically no problems in condensing Qi into liquid.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for your advice, Uncle Master Chen. If I can reach Foundation Establishment, I will not refuse any tasks in the future.¡±


    When saying this, Yu Lian was sincere. He didn¡¯t hold the guard and vigilance he had when first entering the door.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yu Lian felt that there was a forty or fifty percent chance of reaching Foundation Establishment. In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators regard this as a great favor.


    While the two didn¡¯t have the name of master and disciple, after tonight, their relationship had indeed become that of master and disciple.


    ¡°Upon reaching Foundation Establishment, I will need your help to retrieve something from the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡± stated Chen Mobai, finally revealing his true intentions at that time.


    ¡°What exactly is it?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it after you reach Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Keeping matters pertaining to his own Foundation Establishment perfection, even Core Formation in mind, Chen Mobai still hasn¡¯t revealed it, remaining careful as Yu Lian has not yet successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Master, can you check what I need to pay attention to when I reach Foundation Establishment?¡±


    After Yu Lian left politely, Luo Yixuan appeared hesitant to speak. Eventually, upon Chen Mobai¡¯s encouragement, she timidly expressed her wish.


    ¡°Come over here.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As her disciple made a request, and the Unseen Marionette had been adjusted to the simulation mode today, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse her.


    He raised the Six Solar Divine Fire Mirror in his hand, signaling Luo Yixuan to stand in front of the mirror.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    To his surprise, Luo Yixuan first expressed deep gratitude before walking in front of the ancient bronze mirror in measured steps.


    She looked composed, but her eyes betrayed unconcealed nervousness.

 Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_1

    Chapter 455: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_1


    Luo Yixuan left with a disappointed expression on her face.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, most cultivators view Foundation Establishment as their ultimate goal.


    Daring to think about Core Formation is beyond their wildest dreams.


    Chen Mobai simulated Luo Yixuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment process with the help of a No Form Puppet, and found that she couldn¡¯t succeed in one go. In other words, her chances of achieving Foundation Establishment did not exceed fifty percent.


    The problem remained the same. She had consumed too many pills to boost her cultivation level. Although the Flame Lighting Technique had transformed her Longevity Spiritual Power, some traces of pill toxicity remained in her Black Water Spiritual Power.


    However, the result of the No Form Puppet¡¯s simulation was not absolute. After all, the chance of success with just one Foundation Building Pill was thirty percent. Luo Yixuan, as his disciple, was almost guaranteed to acquire one of these pills after three years. Maybe she could successfully advance to the next stage if luck was on her side.


    The master and disciple returned to Xiao Nanshan the following day.


    Thereafter, Chen Mobai, using the excuse of a breakthrough in his cultivation level, announced a closed-door cultivation and sealed off the mountaintop.


    Since he needed to immerse himself in the cultivation of his Qingyang Fire and the condensation of his Sword Demons, he did not dare to leave his puppet body behind in the Tianhe Realm, to avoid a dizzy spell at a crucial moment that could make him miss his cultivation goal.


    Before he sequestered himself, he had already informed the sect leader and Chu Zuoshu. Unless it concerned the survival of the sect, no one was likely to disturb him.


    After returning to his sect,


    To avoid being nagged by Hua Zijing, Chen Mobai chose not to make an appearance in the student union. Instead, he quietly slipped into the Treasure Trove. In a cave, where the strength of the Fire Vein¡¯s spiritual energy was nearly Rank-4, he focused wholeheartedly on his cultivation. Using the Pure Green Art and Spirit Stones, he enhanced his Qingyang Fire Seed which was almost perfect.


    With the powerful Fire Vein Core of spiritual energy close to Rank-5, backed by an Original Mine Spirit Stone, he had acquired from the Lonely Spirit Ridge. In just one short month, he managed to fuse two ¡°Qingyang Fire Seeds¡± and successfully cultivate his highly-desired ¡°¡±Qingyang Fire.¡±¡±


    Looking at the Pure Green Fire, about the size of his palm, and then at the Original Mine Spirit Stone beside him, which had nearly half of its spiritual energy depleting, Chen Mobai felt a twinge of distress.


    This Qingyang fire had consumed the equivalent of over a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    If Xie Yuntian knew this method could quickly enhance Qingyang Fire, he would part with a thousand Spirit Stones, let alone a hundred.


    But, this required cultivation of the ¡°Pure Green Art¡±.


    This secret technique, from the Talent Tree of the Eternal Teaching, is used specifically to enhance the ¡°¡±Qingyang Fire.¡±¡±


    Xie Yuntian had collected four Qingyang Fire Seeds over the years but could only just manage to fuse them together by relying on his own powerful cultivation level and Divine Sense. He still couldn¡¯t control it as easily as he wanted.


    That¡¯s why, despite having cultivated the Sword Light and Qingyang Fire, and having enough Green Wood Evil, he still hadn¡¯t condensed the first ¡°¡±Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±¡±.


    Even the younger generation from the sect managed to catch up with him.


    Chen Mobai injected the Qingyang Fire in his palm into the cave wall next to him. Soon, the extremely hard rock and the Red Iron Mine inside it were both melted into magma and molten iron. They flowed down the wall, forming a spectacle that resembled a crimson waterfall.


    In terms of temperature alone, this Qingyang Fire could boil stone and incinerate iron.


    If it is fed with Green Wood Evil and upgraded to Green Flames Sword Slaughter, its power would be unimaginable.


    By then, he would be invincible under the Gold Core stage.


    With that excited thought in mind, Chen Mobai took out five Jade Vials he had exchanged from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion from his storage bag.


    He opened one of them. As he peered inside, he saw strands of dark green gas rotating within the vial but not escaping.


    This happened because the air and spiritual energy in the vial was denser than the outside, causing the phenomenon.


    Chen Mobai slightly tilted the mouth of the vial towards the Qingyang Fire in his palm. When the first wisp of dark green gas trickled out, he quickly pulled it back.


    Suddenly, he felt the already hot Qingyang Fire surge up like oil being poured on fire as soon as the Green Wood Evil was dropped in. In an instant, it shot a flame high into the air. The cave ceiling above Chen Mobai¡¯s head was instantly melted, forming a pit.


    The falling magma was blocked by the already deployed ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. This Dance Tool Daoist Academy material was inherently resistant to lava currents, making it perfect for this situation.


    At this point, Chen Mobai was fully engrossed in condensing his Sword Demons.


    In his left palm was the Qingyang Fire, and in his right hand was a jade vial with Green Wood Evil. His eyes were half-closed as his Pure Yang Spiritual Power began to circulate along the path of the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Under the control of the Red Flame Sword Jue, the Qingyang Fire quickly transformed into Purple Fire Sword Light under the manipulation of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    However, this Purple Fire Sword Light, in comparison to the previous one, had an additional streak of deep, dark green in the middle.


    In the Sea of Knowledge at Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Mansion, his Divine Sense, which was visualising a jade green phoenix tree, left his body and merged into the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In an instant, he felt as if he had plunged into a sea of lava.


    If it was him from before, he would have been in unbearable pain by now.


    Theoretically, a robust Divine Sense that only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has, is required to withstand the scorching heat of Qingyang Fire.


    But ever since Chen Mobai used the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror for his Foundation Establishment and acquired Fire Spirit Body, his rapport with flame has been extraordinary.


    When his Divine Sense fell on the Qingyang Fire, he did not feel any pain or heat. On the contrary, it felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring; warm and weightless.

 Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_2

    Chapter 456: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_2


    A sense of comfort and satisfaction nearly intoxicated him.


    Fortunately, he remembered that he was currently refining the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and quickly sobered up.


    After his Divine Sense merged with the Green-sun Fire, he capitalized on his Fire Spirit Body¡¯s talents to effortlessly devour and refine the deep green evil Qi at the center of the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    After this step, the originally rich purple flame sword light dimmed somewhat.


    It was as if the purple hue had been dyed green, beginning to turn gray.


    Then, turning his right hand upside down, Chen Mobai let another stream of Green Wood Evil fall.


    The Purple Fire Sword Light, nourished by the evil Qi, blazed even more fiercely.


    But under Chen Mobai¡¯s mental manipulation, it didn¡¯t shoot into the sky as before, but instead burned and fluctuated gently, refining and devouring one strand after another of the Green Wood Evil that was poured out from the vial.


    According to the standards of the Immortal Sect, one stream of evil Qi is divided into ten parts, one part into ten strands, and one strand into ten strands.


    Although Chen Mobai possessed a Fire Spirit Body and could perfectly control Green-sun Fire with his divine sense, he still spent half a month integrating all the Green wood Evil in the jade vial into the sword light.


    A beam of cinnabar green light extended from the Green-sun Fire in his palm, like the dawn breaking through the dark when the sun first rises, bringing endless warmth and heat.


    However, Chen Mobai had a feeling that if this cinnabar green beam touched him, his life force would be extinguished instantly, turning him into ash.


    This is the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±!


    Chen Mobai pulled two cracked green scales from his storage bag.


    These were fallen from the Green Scale Arm Guard. Because they were damaged and could not be collected, he kept them and did not throw them away. Today, he could test the power of the Sword Slaughter on them.


    Since it came from a Rank-2 water-attribute demonic beast, the scales contain pure water spirit Qi, perfect for resisting fire-attribute spells and magic artifacts.


    Though they¡¯re cracked now, their material is still Rank-2.


    Chen Mobai removed the Green Flames Sword Slaughter from the Green-sun Fire and threw a cracked green scale into the Green-sun Fire.


    The next thing he saw was that the originally shiny, smooth, water-lustrous scale turned scorched and cracked within five seconds, and finally turned into carbide and collapsed into ash, scattered on the ground.


    After the first experiment, Chen Mobai threw another scale onto the Sword Sha. But the moment it made contact, it instantly vaporized into a puff of smoke.


    The difference in power was just too immense.


    Chen Mobai repressed the excitement in his heart, using his Divine Sense to roll that condensed Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a thumb-sized ¡°Sword Pill¡±, and then swallowed it.


    It was because he was a Fire Spirit Body. If it were Xie Yuntian, he would need to use many medicinal herbs to refine the Sword Slaughter even after forming the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, daring then to condense it into a Sword Pill and swallow it into the Qi Sea in his Dantian.


    After refining the first Sword Slaughter, Chen Mobai looked at the Green-sun Fire and found that it had shrunk a bit.


    But according to his estimates, it could form five Green Flames Sword Slaughters, which perfectly matched the quantity of Green Wood evil qi. This was why he didn¡¯t feed all the raw Spirit Stones to the Green-sun Fire.


    He still had one more to spare.


    The limit of his Divine Sense was to control four Sword Slaughters.


    But his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace had already been opened due to the Green Heart Spirit. Under the continuous supply of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it would only take half a year to grow another fruit.


    After refining the remaining three Sword Slaughters into Sword Pills and swallowing them, Chen Mobai felt a warm sensation in his stomach, as if he was carrying four little heaters.


    He couldn¡¯t help but touch it, but then he felt the move was so amusing and he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    However, this laughter was more because of his joy in having finally created the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.


    Most of the Core Formation Sword Cultivators in the Immortal Sect only condense a Sword Slaughter as a token gesture.


    Unlike him, he not only possessed a heavenly spiritual object like Green-sun Fire but also had the support of the Sect to extract and refine the evil Qi. He just needed to control the Sword Technique and condense the Spiritual Fire and Evil Qi into the Sword Light, and he could easily succeed.


    He also had the Fire Spirit Body, the physique most suitable for fire-attribute Sword Techniques, saving him from the complicated steps of using medicinal herbs to refine the Sword Slaughter.


    Chen Mobai now was confident that even if he faced Xiahou Weihuan or Sima Xingyu from the Pure Yang Academy, he could still win the battle.


    [So what if you¡¯ve achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection? Wait for me!]


    Chen Mobai was full of confidence.


    His Sword Sha technique was a Rank-3 method. In a fair battle, he was now even eager to fight with Lan Haitian, to test if the so-called invincibility of Foundation Establishment was all hype.


    Unfortunately, Lan Haitian had gone into seclusion to reach his Core Formation and couldn¡¯t spar with him in Little Red Sky anymore.


    A real shame!


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to exit seclusion to visit the student council that he had missed for so long, he noticed a bunch of notifications on his newly turned on phone.


    In particular, he had more than 99 unread messages in the group chat of the Metaphysical Class.


    Upon seeing them, Chen Mobai discovered quite a few pieces of good news.


    Among them, the successful Foundation Establishment of Yunyang Bing made him the happiest.


    In addition to him, Gong Ranran and Li Zimo also came out of seclusion in high spirits.


    Fan Yuanpu and Jin Shuwei seemed to be slightly stuck at the Divine Sense breakthrough, but they also announced in the group that they were sure to complete the Foundation Establishment by the end of the year.


    With this development, more than half of the students in the Metaphysical Class have reached the average line of the Daoist Academy.


    But among them, Chen Mobai¡¯s good friend Wang Xingyu remained silent.


    Apparently, he hadn¡¯t reached the end yet, but since he had already comprehended the critical Spell, even if he didn¡¯t succeed this year, he would certainly reach it before graduation.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he also made an appearance in the group and made a few comments.


    [Dear brothers and sisters, hold off on using your Device Pieces. Let me take a look for you first. You can also check the Map of Treasures in the Student Council in my name for free.]


    Upon seeing his message, those like Yunyang Bing who had succeeded in Foundation Establishment all gave a thumbs up.


    Everyone agreed to a meeting at the end of the year in the Treasure Trove to open their Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Chen Mobai agreed to wait for them at the Student Council at that time.


    Finally, Ming Yuhua showed up.


    He lamented that he had to spend all his time making a large Magic Artifact, so busy that he didn¡¯t even have time to cultivate. He missed the brothers and sisters in the group terribly and wished he could teleport right over to spend quality time with them.


    Chen Mobai immediately teased him, saying that his disciple had brewed several types of excellent wine and they were just waiting for Ming Yuhua to come and unseal them.


    Ming Yuhua replied with a drooling emoji¡­


    As everyone was joking and laughing in the group chat, Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan, who had recently broken up, remained silent, and no one brought them into the conversation.


    After chatting for a while, Chen Mobai left the group and proceeded to check his other unread messages.


    After replying to all his friends and relatives¡¯ messages,


    He saw a surprising one,


    Meng Huang had replied to his message from a month and half ago: [I¡¯m here!]


    Her response was quite delayed. Chen Mobai had asked her if she was there two months ago.


    Feeling a bit ignored, Chen Mobai did not reply to her again, and just pretended not to see it.


    After joking around with Yan Bingxuan the Green Maiden and the others for a while, he finally emerged from seclusion.


    First, he made a trip back to the student council. Under the deadly gaze of Hua Zijing, he dealt with all the piled-up official documents, and only three days later did he finish everything.


    After that, Chen Mobai visited his teacher Che Yucheng. The teacher and student spent the afternoon drinking tea and confirmed the team list for the end of the year trip to the Jumang Daoist Institute.

    Last of all, Chen Mobai made a phone call to his mother asking her to take a mortgage out on the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory from the bank and withdraw five million Good Deed Points.


    Naturally, this money was to be used to purchase the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s elixirs.


    After handling all the affairs on the Immortal¡¯s side, Chen Mobai returned to Tianhe Realm full of confidence.


    As soon as he returned, the first thing he heard was some great news.


    Yu Lian had successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: Chapter 326: Guidance_1

    Chapter 457: Chapter 326: Guidance_1


    A stream of silver spiritual light descended from the sky, landing at the foot of Xiao Nanshan. It was Yu Lian.


    Out of respect, he didn¡¯t fly directly to the peak.


    Chen Mobai immediately signaled to Luo Yixuan standing beside him to bring Yu up.


    The aura around Yu Lian was no longer as deep as before, now it resembled a sharp sword, its chill shimmering freely after being freshly sharpened.


    However, this was because he had just successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn¡¯t fully control his drastically increased spiritual power.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master Chen.¡±


    Upon arrival, Yu Lian bowed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°According to the sect rules, in the future we should address each other as brothers.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai felt awkward about the Tianhe Realm¡¯s custom of ranking based on cultivation level, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Therefore, he changed addressing Yu Lian to junior brother. The latter hesitated for a moment, then immediately addressed him as senior brother.


    ¡°I have already established my foundation, what spiritual object should I retrieve for Senior Brother from the Divine Tree Secret Realm?¡±


    ¡°Take this talisman, when you reach the Magic Treasure Tree, use it. Then you will obtain a fruit, bring this fruit back for me and I will pay you a hefty amount of spiritual stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t beat about the bush. During their previous venture into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Zhou Wangshen had already made transactions with people such as Yan Jinye and Yuan Chiye beforehand, so he just followed their example. Even if it was known by the Sect Leader and the two elders, they wouldn¡¯t mind.


    ¡°I owe my successful foundation establishment to Senior Brother Chen¡¯s guidance. I will bring you the fruit and I do not need extra spirit stones.¡±


    Yu Lian, being a man clear about gratitude and grudges, accepted the Wood Spiritual Talisman and decisively made a promise.


    ¡°The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a benefit granted by the sect to each newly established Foundation Disciple. Each of the fruits it bears are rare treasures. If you do not accept the spirit stone, I would feel indebted.¡±


    Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t fully adjusted his perspective to align with the Tianhe Realm, for the cultivators here, the most precious entities are cultivation techniques and knowledge.


    His guidance brought Yu Lian to successful foundation establishment¡ªan enormous favor.


    This type of chance encounter could not be measured with spirit stones. In Yu Lian¡¯s heart, the importance of Chen Mobai was quickly surpassing his official master Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°I cultivate the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture and also follow the Sword Cultivation path. Senior Brother Chen is the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, could you possibly provide me with some guidance on Sword Dao.¡±


    Yu Lian refused to accept spirit stones, yet respectably lowered his head and asked Chen Mobai for guidance in Sword Dao.


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan lifted her head and looked at the seemingly aloof Yu Lian, feeling that she had underestimated him before. Unexpectedly, just like her, he dared to put his pride aside at a crucial moment.


    Ever since Mu Hanxiong was killed at Rolling Thunder Mountain, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect had been attributed to Chen Mobai.


    However, at that time, there were still differences among the sect¡¯s disciples as Xie Yuntian, a well-established sword cultivator, was still around, many believed that the sword training department head at the late Foundation Establishment stage was a tad stronger.


    But during Chen Mobai¡¯s ongoing seclusion for the consolidation of sword demons, news started gradually trickling in about his evenly-matched duel with Ji Dingjin at the location of the Rock Country Spirit Stone Mine, where many cultivators from both Yanxiao and Rock Country nations had been present as witnesses. Although Mountain Shaker Peak wanted to suppress the news, they couldn¡¯t suppress the voices of those loose cultivators who were caught in the crossfire.


    When this news spread, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect became undisputed.


    Therefore, the current goal of all disciples who were practicing sword techniques and sword secrets within the Divine Wood Sect was to be accepted into Xiao Nanshan¡¯s tutelage and receive guidance from Chen Mobai.


    Although Yu Lian had established his foundation, he was extremely self-aware. His aptitude in Sword Dao was decent, but when compared to the prodigious Sword Cultivation genius standing before him, he felt utterly average.


    At the very least, Yu Lian was only at the second stage of Sword Dao at the moment.


    Whereas Chen Mobai, during the Qi Cultivation stage, was already at the third stage of Sword Dao.


    Currently, in the early Foundation Establishment stage, he had already practiced and manifested his sword light, making him unparalleled within his realm.


    Additionally, according to Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he had exchanged his Green Wood Evil, seeming to be climbing towards the fifth stage of Sword Dao: the condensation of Sword Demons!


    If the Sword Demons were to solidify, probably no Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire Eastern Wilderness would dare show their face before him.


    Because regardless of who it is, even if it were Ji Dingjin who possessed a forged body, they would be defeated in a single sword strike against the Sword Demons, unless a rank-3 defensive magic weapon was used.


    Yu Lian, with the status of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, asking for guidance from Chen Mobai, who was on the same Cultivation Realm as him, was extremely rare in the Eastern Wilderness.

    Thereby, Luo Yixuan¡¯s opinion of him significantly improved. This person was not as arrogant as he seemed, and his scheming mind was no less than her own.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, show me the Sword Scripture you cultivated, I¡¯ll see if I can give you some guidance.¡±


    With his Immortal Sect¡¯s mindset, Chen Mobai believed that knowledge was meant to be shared, imparting knowledge was a precious achievement. Therefore, when Yu Lian asked for guidance, after some thought, he agreed.


    Of course, unbeknownst to others, he had once again activated the Computational Puppet¡¯s simulation feature, using Yu Lian¡¯s data template to simulate the cultivation of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.


    Soon, when Yu Lian held a wooden sword, and performed the entirety of his Sword Training to become Gang and Sword Gang Transforming Qi, Chen Mobai had already simulated the subsequent aura of the Silver Sky Sword Rainbow.

 Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Chapter 326 Guidance _2

    Chapter 458: Chapter 326 Guidance _2


    ¡°Indeed, your foundation in the Sword Dao is strong. Clearly, you¡¯ve practiced extensively.¡±


    ¡°However, if you aspire to reach the Rainbow Sword Realm, you need to comprehend more about nature¡¯s spiritual energy. After all, the so-called Sword Qi Long Rainbow is about using the strength of one-third sword qi to stimulate seven-tenths of nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Thus, your opponent isn¡¯t just battling with your sword qi, but against the universe itself.¡±


    ¡°My suggestion is to prioritize stability after your Foundation Establishment. Don¡¯t use Spirit Stones to enhance your spiritual power anymore, but use cultivation techniques to naturally absorb and cultivate nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Once you¡¯ve grasped the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi, start thinking about raising your cultivation level.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he motioned for Yu Lian to use the Silvery Sky Sword Qi.


    ¡°Yes, elder brother.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Yu Lian immediately raised his sword-holding right hand and exercised his cultivation techniques to circulate the sword qi on the sword blade.


    The sword qi shone with a silvery light, reminiscent of snow-capped mountains, like a Milky Way Waterfall, giving a sense of purity, yet coldness.


    ¡°I¡¯ll use my Divine Sense to enter your body and temporarily control your spiritual power and sword qi, so you can experience the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi. Don¡¯t get nervous, just relax.¡±


    When Chen Mobai mentioned this, Luo Yixuan, who was standing by, was completely flabbergasted.


    Generally, this is a privilege only core direct disciples enjoy. It couldn¡¯t be that her master was about to take another disciple, if so, wouldn¡¯t her position as the youngest one be lost?


    While she was lost in her wild thoughts, a stunningly brilliant silvery light burst forth from the wooden sword held by Yu Lian. As it was a silver meteor flying towards the sky, bearing a brilliant tail, it ascended from the peak of Xiao Nanshan and painted a beautiful arc under the clear sky.


    Zhuo Ming, who was tending to the Spirit Field at the foot of the mountain, saw this scene and thought something had happened. She immediately dropped her hoe and headed for the mountain peak.


    Such a beautiful Sword Rainbow!


    The moment Luo Yixuan saw the Silvery Sky Sword Rainbow, she was dazzled and mesmerized.


    This was more beautiful than all the fireworks she had ever seen. A phrase popped into her mind: trees ablaze and flowers of molten silver.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Brother, for your guidance. If you don¡¯t mind, I am willing to recognize you as my mentor.¡±


    After Chen Mobai lifted his sword finger from Yu Lian¡¯s wrist, the latter immediately showed his gratitude with a deep bow.


    ¡°You have already sworn allegiance to Elder Brother Shan. Besides, given your talent, you¡¯ll be able to comprehend sword rainbow sooner or later.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Although the rules of Divine Wood Sect stated that individuals of the same generation could call each other ¡®elder brother¡¯, he still felt that accepting Yu Lian as his disciple was a bit too much.


    ¡°If you have any questions about Sword Dao in the future, feel free to send a message to me. As long as I¡¯ve finished my cultivation regimen and have some spare time, I¡¯ll do my best to answer. However, keep in mind that my own cultivation level is limited, and there might be some questions I can¡¯t answer.¡±


    ¡°You are truly too modest, Elder Brother.¡±


    Yu Lian responded with heartfelt sincerity then asked some questions that he had amassed while practicing the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.


    Zhuo Ming arrived at this point. She saw Chen Mobai and Yu Lian deep in conversation, and was confused. Luo Yixuan immediately beckoned her sister to come over and explained the situation.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked on with envy.


    ¡°Amongst us, Yu Lian was the strongest from the beginning. It seems that the first to establish the foundation after our master was bound to be him.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan felt a minor prick of dissatisfaction. She believed that if she had sworn allegiance to Chen Mobai when she first met him in the Southstream Market, her achievements might not necessarily be worse than Yu Lian¡¯s.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I will take my leave now.¡±


    In the span of two cups of tea, what Yu Lian had learned from Chen Mobai far exceeded what he had gained from seven years under the mentorship of Shan Hongyi.


    After all, Shan Hongyi wasn¡¯t a Sword Cultivator nor did he practice the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture. Unlike Chen Mobai who knew Yu Lian¡¯s body data and technique more clearly than Yu Lian himself.


    ¡°If my guess is correct, Yu Lian should be able to get a Tree Fruit using the Wood Spiritual Talisman. Even so, he will still lack one. It seems I have to invest more in the other two disciples. However, it would be best if they took the initiative to ask me for help.¡±


    After sending away Yu Lian, while contemplating these matters, Chen Mobai waved at Luo Yixuan, who promptly came over with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Elder Brother, you called me.¡±


    ¡°What is the situation with the other two Junior Brothers who exchanged for Foundation Building Pills?¡±


    ¡°There is no news yet. They do have backup, not like Brother Yu¡­Uncle Yu, who is desperate to take the Foundation Building Pill as soon as possible. They may delay it for a year or two.¡±


    As required by Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan also kept an eye on Mu Yuan and Li Yixian, but there was no news of them taking the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°By the end of the year at the latest, they should take it, but it would be better to take it now.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, uttering a sentence that puzzled Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°In three years, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms will mature. If they take the Foundation Building Pills now, even if they fail at Foundation Establishment, they can recover within three years and compete again for these orthodox Foundation Building Pills. If they delay for a year or two, a serious injury from failure of Foundation Establishment might prevent them from recovering completely and they might miss the opportunity to exchange for the second Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    At these words, Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming both nodded in enlightenment.


    Zhuo Ming had no thoughts about this as she had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and if she could reach the eighth level in three years, she would be very happy. She had given up on Foundation Establishment long ago.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, expressed full confidence that she would succeed in Foundation Establishment at her first attempt and bring honor to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, Ming, you two go to Divine Wood City in the next few days.¡±


    ¡°Master, is there anything we need to do?¡±


    The two disciples asked in unison.


    ¡°Ming, you go to South Mountain Shop to stack a batch of new wines, saying that I opened it personally. Xuan, you take the new wine to some of my friends. If they ask about my condition, just say that I broke through in my seclusion and very happily exited it.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t understand Chen Mobai¡¯s intention, they both agreed obediently by nodding.


    Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Chu Zuoshu received the new wine delivered by Luo Yixuan and was about to open it, Fu Huakun and the Puppet Department head An Jinghui suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Rare guests. It just so happens that Junior Brother Chen sent a jar of new wine through his disciple today, let¡¯s taste it together.¡±


    The Puppet Department is under the control of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the previous Puppet Department leader was Elder Fu himself.


    An Jinghui is a direct disciple of Elder Fu, and he seldom has any association with Chu Zuoshu in daily life. Seeing him come in with Fu Huakun today, Chu Zuoshu was very curious.


    ¡°Brother Chu, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. My disciple would like to ask Brother Chen for some insights on Foundation Establishment, but I don¡¯t know Brother Chen well, so I have to ask Brother Fu to bridge the gap for us.¡±


    An Jinghui sat down with a bitter smile, proactively took up the jar of wine to pour for Chu Zuoshu, while Fu Huakun was silently drinking his wine. After he made the introduction, his task was accomplished.


    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t there a collection of all kinds of sect Cultivation Techniques insights on Foundation Establishment in the Book Pavilion? Even though Brother Chen is a genius, everyone is different. It¡¯s more reliable to learn from various sources if you ask me.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t know about Yu Lian¡¯s Foundation Establishment. An Jinghui immediately explained the whole story.


    ¡°Brother Chen is the first person in our Divine Wood Sect to successfully reach Foundation Establishment stage by taking a demonic beast Foundation Building Pill. Yu Lian succeeded at Foundation Establishment at his first attempt with his guidance. There must be some key tips. But it would be too presumptuous to ask for these secrets directly, so I can only ask for your help, Brother Chu, who is the future Sect Leader.¡±


    When An Jinghui said this, he was very polite. But Chu Zuoshu was very calm, and wasn¡¯t confused by the flattery.


    ¡°I see, I can only help you to mention this to Brother Chen. After all, it involves secret techniques, and even if he doesn¡¯t agree, no one can force him, not even the two Elders.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Tianhe Realm strongly protects the transmission of Cultivation Techniques and knowledge. Sometimes, even if the sect is destroyed, it won¡¯t be passed down.


    So Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t dare to make promises. If the one asking for help wasn¡¯t the Puppet Department head, Elder Fu¡¯s disciple, and didn¡¯t have Fu Huakun¡¯s face to save, he might have directly refused.


    ¡°Exactly, Brother Chu, I am very grateful that you are willing to help. This really matters to my disciple¡¯s Foundation Establishment, so I have no choice but to be thick-skinned.¡±


    The same situation occurred in Shenmu Hall.


    Just after cleaning up the fishing gear with Cang Qi, Meng Hong, who was preparing to go fishing, found that his youngest disciple, Mu Yuan, surprisingly took the initiative to help him carry the fish basket. He couldn¡¯t help but marvel.

 Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: Chapter 327: Sects Reward_1

    Chapter 459: Chapter 327: Sect¡¯s Reward_1


    It has been less than a hundred years since the Divine Wood Sect split from the Five Elements Sect, and the Foundation Building Pills made from demonic beasts have not been made many times.


    Among the successes, only Chen Mobai and Yu Lian have succeeded.


    In this, everyone, even including Yu Lian himself, claimed that the success of the Foundation Establishment was all thanks to Brother Chen¡¯s guidance.


    Because of this, even though they have not taken the Foundation Building Pill yet, they dare not delay. Mu Yuan and Li Yixian, who are afraid that failure of Foundation Establishment will affect the sect competition in three years when Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, have sought their master¡¯s help since they heard that Chen Mobai finished his cultivation.


    Among them, Mu Yuan, as the youngest disciple of the Sect Leader, was definitely the easiest. His hurdle was just in his heart.


    Once he stepped out, Meng Hong would naturally help him.


    Knowing the cause of the matter, Meng Hong originally planned to go to Xiao Nanshan in person.


    But at this moment, two magnificent Spiritual Lights opened up the protection array of Giant Tree Ridge, fell into the Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong and Cang Qi, who originally planned to go fishing, immediately dropped their belongings and hastily went to the front hall to meet the two elders.


    Shortly afterwards, Chu Zuoshu, who received the edict of the Sect Leader, also hurried over.


    Chen Mobai on Xiao Nanshan naturally also noticed that the two Core Formation elders of the sect had returned. After all, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue did not hide their Qi, perhaps they did it on purpose.


    [It should be because they had a big victory on the frontline, so they showed off like this.]


    Chen Mobai speculated in his heart and felt that it was very likely to be the case.


    After all, according to what Yue Zutao said before, Ji Zhenshi was almost beaten to death and only survived with the help of the two elders from Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.


    Everyone understood the truth of having firewood as long as the green hills stand, let alone Ji Zhenshi, a Core Formation elder.


    At the last moment, even if Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, he would probably choose to save his own life.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to guess anymore, because soon after, the Message Talisman of the Divine Wood Sect flew to him.


    The two elders came back victorious, and the sect gained two Spirit Stone Mines and a pure iron mine in Rock Country, as well as a cave that could produce Evil Qi.


    With this, the war between Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak can be said to have come to an end.


    Next is the awarding of merits.


    However, this matter has long been decided, after all, the size of merit on the battlefield is the clearest.


    Chen Mobai killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Rock Country. One was the pride of Mountain Shaker Peak, and the other was the famous Mu Hanxiong. In addition, there was the traitor Zheng Wulyu, making him undisputedly the one who killed the most enemies.


    However, Chen Mobai could only be ranked fourth in the merit list.


    The first and second places went to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Without their suppression of Core Formation elders like Ji Zhenshi, no matter how many Foundation Establishment cultivators Chen Mobai killed, it would be useless.


    The third place went to Chu Zuoshu.


    After all, he was the leading general. Although he couldn¡¯t hold Rolling Thunder Mountain in the end, it was not his fault as the opponent had used the Bead that Breaks Meridians.


    Moreover, from the beginning when he defended Rolling Thunder Mountain against Ji Dingjin¡¯s army to the encirclement after the arrival of reinforcements, his series of strategies and decisions were commendable, and most of them were recognized as deserving of third place.


    But there were also some who disagreed.


    During the war, the Divine Wood Sect was united, but after the victory, the internal factions began to stir. But they all received Meng Hong¡¯s attention and wouldn¡¯t jump out at this time.


    By now, many people had tasted the flavor. This war between the two sects might have been started just to get Chu Zuoshu to rightfully sit in the Sect Leader position.


    Chen Mobai being ranked fourth was undisputed.


    After all, he killed the most.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai is now Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciple. When the latter asked Reward Virtue Hall to reward the Foundation Establishment cultivators who fought this time, he put Chen Mobai in the first place.


    Before the two elders returned, no matter if it was Meng Hong or Chu Zuoshu, they could only give each of the outgoing Foundation Establishment cultivators 1000 contribution points as a basic reward. Although most of the big chunks were practically determined, a reward of nearly several hundred thousand Spirit Stones still needed the elders to nod their heads.


    Now the rewards could finally be distributed.


    Chen Mobai received ten thousand sect contribution points, ten thousand Spirit Stones, five Rank-2 pills which can enhance the Spiritual Power of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a high-end Rank-2 Defensive Magic Artifact as well as a Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman personally crafted by Elder Zhou.


    If converted into Spirit Stones, it would be close to thirty thousand in number.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among the whole sect, only Chu Zuoshu received more. But as the Sect Leader Elect, the two elders did not grant him any more Dan or Magic Artifacts, and directly recorded a hundred thousand sect contribution points for him.


    There is an unnoticeable rule in the Divine Wood Sect that if you want to take over as the head of the three main halls or Sect Leader, you need to make a hundred thousand contributions to the sect.


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s hard work for over a hundred years has contributed far more than a hundred thousand to the sect, but the two elders still awarded this amount of contribution points when they awarded merits. Basically, it was a clear signal to the rest of the Divine Wood Sect that he is the next Sect Leader.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that Chu Zuoshu actually only received thirty thousand sect contribution points, ten thousand was just what was written on the surface. The latter mentioned this matter to him when he spoke of Li Yixian.


    After Chen Mobai, the fifth place went to the Minister of Sword Training, Xie Yuntian. He received sixteen Green Wood Evil, equivalent to sixteen thousand sect contribution points.

 Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: Chapter 327 Sects Reward_2

    Chapter 460: Chapter 327 Sect¡¯s Reward_2


    The Sect was satisfied with this outcome, and Xie Yuntian was also satisfied himself.


    Weng Chuanyou ranked sixth, safely returning to the Giant Tree Ridge, earning ten thousand contribution points from the Sect and three Rank-2 medicinal pills.


    After the top six, the rewards given by the Sect dropped a notch.


    It was basically a few thousand contribution points or Spirit Stones, and only a single bottle of medicine.


    However, every Foundation Establishment cultivator was quite content. After all, including the previous one thousand contribution points, it was equivalent to several years of benefits in the Sect.


    They could even use these contribution points to exchange for a good set of Magic Artifacts in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion within the Sect.


    But Chen Mobai found that most of them spent their Spirit Stones on purchasing medicinal pills.


    Because the two elder ancestors and other major Sects in the Eastern Wilderness signed a contract, it guaranteed that, at the very least, there would be no wars for another twenty years.


    Therefore, the cultivators¡¯ desire to purchase Magic Artifacts dropped significantly, and many people even tried to get rid of the spoils of war in their hands.


    After receiving the Message Talisman, Chen Mobai arrived in the Divine Wood City, and received his own rewards at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    The Magic Artifact was an upper-grade Rank-2 Divine Wood Shield, which complemented his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, and both were refined using Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    Purely due to the good quality of the material, a Rank-3 Spirit Wood was used to refine a Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon. If a refiner from the Immortal Sect did this, no one would ask him to refine another one ever again.


    However, Chen Mobai was quite thrilled. Even though he already had the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror, this Rank-3 Artifact would require too much Spiritual Power to activate each time.


    A higher-grade Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon would be virtually impenetrable at the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was appropriate for his early stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.


    As for the five bottles of Rank-2 medicinal pills, they were called ¡°Yuan Enhancement Pills,¡± which was one of the best pills to enhance spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment Realm. To exchange for a bottle of this from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion would require 280 Sect¡¯s contribution points.


    Last was the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman refined by Elder Zhou.


    This could save lives, as it was known to be able to resist any Rank-2 spell below the Gold Core level.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, please sign here.¡±


    The one on duty inside the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was still Chen Zhenwu. After he gave Chen Mobai the Sect¡¯s rewards, he pulled out a receipt for him to sign.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡±


    After putting everything into his storage bag, Chen Mobai checked his Sect¡¯s account, satisfied, he then bid farewell and left.


    However, at the entrance, he ran into another person he knew.


    It was Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°Senior Brother Shan, are you here to collect your reward too?¡±


    Chen Mobai saw him, greeted him, but the latter just frowned and nodded slightly in response, then walked right past him, going upstairs to collect his items with Chen Zhenwu.


    Chen Mobai sensed dissatisfaction in Shan Hongyi¡¯s eyes when he looked at him, but he knew he was restraining himself. Possibly because he was now a direct disciple of Chu Zuoshu, with astonishing fighting prowess, he did not directly conflict with him.


    [Is it because of Yu Lian?]


    Chen Mobai quickly thought of the key point. After all, Yu Lian was formally a disciple of Shan Hongyi. Although his own guidance led him to successfully establish his foundation, it also spread a rumor in the Sect that Shan Hongyi was poor at teaching.


    This was something Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t explain well, so he figured when he had the chance, he would need to find a way to resolve it, to avoid any grudges in the future.


    Carrying his thoughts, Chen Mobai slowly left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    He found the entrance was filled with various stalls, very similar to when he was at the Rolling Thunder Mountain Fang Market. The price of Magic Artifacts and Spirit Talismans had completely fallen compared to before, and all kinds of medicinal pills were extremely popular.


    Involuntarily, Chen Mobai thought of the five bottles of Yuan Enhancement Pills in his storage bag. Even though he had the Flame Lighting Technique, if he could avoid consuming the medicinal pills from Tianhe Realm, he would certainly do so. He thought it would be better to find a way to get rid of these pills.


    ¡°Senior Brother Shan, all the medicinal pills suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion have already been exchanged. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to try your luck elsewhere in the marketplace.¡±


    At this moment, Shan Hongyi, who had just received his rewards, was sent out by Chen Zhenwu with a look of helpless wry smile.


    Shan Hongyi could only sigh, and when he turned to leave and saw Chen Mobai, he walked away expressionless.


    Chen Zhenwu pretended as if he hadn¡¯t seen it.


    Chen Mobai, however, fell into contemplation.


    ¡°Xuan, I want you to take this and five bottles of pills to visit Elder Brother Shan Hongyi.¡±


    Having returned to his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai personally wrote a letter and handed five Yuan Enhancement Pills to Luo Yixuan. Although she had no idea what the matter was about, she nodded and went off.


    [I heard that Elder Brother is purchasing pills to enhance Cultivation Level. By chance, I have five bottles that I received from the sect. I would like to sell them to Elder Brother at the original price in exchange for Spirit Stones, is it acceptable?]


    After reading the letter, a frown that had been on Shan Hongyi¡¯s face turned into a smile.


    He indicated for Luo Yixuan to sit down, then picked up the five bottles of yuan Enhancement Pills to look at them, then gave a barely noticeable nod.


    ¡°Please help me thank Brother Chen. Here are the Spirit Stones for the purchase of the Yuan Enhancement Pills.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately took the fourteen intermediate-grade Spirit Stones handed over by Shan Hongyi, exchanged a few more words, and then excused herself and left.


    After hearing Luo Yixuan¡¯s report, Chen Mobai nodded in approval.


    At present, the market price of pills had inflated by two to three percent, so selling the Yuan Enhancement Pills that he did not need to Shan Hongyi at the original price was a gesture of goodwill. Clearly, Shan Hongyi was quite pleased with Chen Mobai¡¯s gesture.


    This eased the slight unease he had been feeling.


    ¡°Master¡¯s way of doing things is truly ingenious. I have learned something.¡±


    At this moment Luo Yixuan, who had been standing to the side, experienced a moment of realization.


    This scene reminded Chen Mobai of his time with Che Yucheng. He had learned many life principles from his old master as well.


    ¡°The Sect Leader has invited me for a drink tonight. Please go and get two pots of new wine from Ming¡¯er.¡±


    Luo Yixuan took the order and left.


    Chen Mobai had an idea about why Meng Hong had invited him. Yesterday, Chu Zuoshu had already told him that the head of the Puppet Department had interceded for him. Chen Mobai had naturally agreed, as this was his intention to begin with, and it also allowed him to buy favor with his superior.


    Meng Hong sought him out today presumably about Mu Yuan.


    However, when Chen Mobai arrived at the Divine Wood Sect and sat at the wine table, he perceived something amiss.


    He could not quite pinpoint what was wrong, but he felt an indescribable pressure within the hall.


    ¡°I sought you today because I have a favor to ask.¡±


    Meng Hong opened a pot of second-rank Spiritual Wine that Chen Mobai had given him at the beginning of the year, he even poured the wine himself.


    ¡°The Sect Leader has been as gracious as a mountain to me. Whatever it is, just command it.¡±


    ¡°Mu Yuan is about to take the Foundation Building Pill soon, and I would like you to share your experience and tips.¡±


    ¡°Not a problem.¡±


    So it was this matter.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to relax, Meng Hong seemed to casually mention another matter.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Magic Artifact you used to deal with Mu Hanxiong on Rolling Thunder Mountain Battlefield was quite powerful.¡±


    Upon hearing this, a chill ran down Chen Mobai¡¯s spine.


    Since his background was very clear and he had never ventured beyond the Eastern Wilderness in his lifetime, mysteriously having a Rank-3 Artifact was a regrettable matter.


    Moreover, in the Eastern Wasteland, for thousands of years, it was well known which Core Formation Elder had a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    All the Divine Wood Sect had to do was to check, and they would know that the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had never appeared in the recent history of the Eastern Wasteland.


    Although he was a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, if he did not explain this matter clearly, the upper echelons would definitely have doubts.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, when he used it, he already intended to use the reasoning he previously prepared and the foreshadowing that was laid down.


    ¡°I dare not deceive the Sect Leader, I obtained this Magic Artifact in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong was so surprised that he put down the wine cup in his hand.


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai finally understood why he had been feeling a sense of oppression.


    Somebody within the Shenmu Hall, likely a Core Formation Elder, was eavesdropping on their conversation.

 Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Eternal Life Sect_1

    Chapter 461: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Eternal Life Sect_1


    ¡°If I remember correctly, you obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, correct?¡±


    Meng Hong pondered for a moment before asking.


    ¡°Sect Leader, do you remember when I took ten steps in front of the Dao Tree and saw the ¡®Eternal Life Sword¡¯ in the broken void?¡±


    Meng Hong was, of course, deeply impressed by this event, and even when he reported it to the two ancestors, they were astounded.


    Subsequently, they opened the Secret Realm again under the condition of no disciples establishing a foundation, but neither the two ancestors nor Meng Hong could have such an opportunity in front of the Dao Tree.


    ¡°What does this have to do with it?¡±


    Meng Hong knew that Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t bring up unrelated matters, and faintly grasped something critical, so he asked directly.


    ¡°The reason I was able to make rapid progress in the Sword Dao Realm is because the ¡®Eternal Life Sword¡¯ was imprinted in my sea of consciousness.¡±


    ¡°After that, I often closed myself off to comprehend this astonishing Sword Dao, and finally, on a particular day, I had an epiphany and entered a mysterious state of divine enlightenment.¡±


    ¡°But when I woke up, I found myself not in Xiao Nanshan, but in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong¡¯s expression changed slightly: ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I have a deep impression of the three Everlife Woods there. To verify, I went to the Magic Treasure Tree next to me, and it was then that I obtained the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai took out his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and calmly handed it over to Meng Hong.


    ¡°The method of refining this magic artifact is completely different from ours here in the Eastern Wilderness, Sect Leader can have a look.¡±


    Meng Hong hesitated for a moment and casually took over the ancient bronze mirror in his hands. He carefully examined it up and down, finding that the lines and patterns were exquisite and the material was perfectly integrated. The refining technique was extremely sophisticated and ingenious, which was simply incomparable to those in the Eastern Wilderness.


    What shocked him most was the prohibition array applied to the magic artifact, which integrated perfectly.


    ¡°Three spells are added.¡±


    Typically, many magical artifacts could add one spell to them, and it¡¯s considered a high-quality item if it is valuable.


    A magic artifact with two additional spells could only be refined by Sheng Zhaoxi, the top artifact refiner in the Eastern Wilderness.


    There are only two artifacts with three additional spells that Sheng Zhaoxi has completed in his lifetime, and both are due to chance and coincidence.


    With that said, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, who were behind the Shenmu Hall, no longer concealed themselves and came out directly.


    ¡°Greetings to the two ancestors.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought there was only one, but didn¡¯t expect both would be present. He and Meng Hong immediately paid their respects.


    ¡°Rise, may we appreciate this magic artifact?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing asked politely, and Chen Mobai naturally nodded.


    After Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue looked it over, they exchanged glances and reached a conclusion.


    ¡°The refining method of this magic artifact far exceeds the artifact refining heritage of the Eastern Wilderness. It might be the work of a Rank-5 Artifact Master. It could possibly be something left in the Secret Realm by the Church of Eternal Life or the Yuan Ancestor.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Yuan Ancestor?¡±


    After hearing the words of the two ancestors, Chen Mobai looked puzzled.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Primordial Ancestor received part of the True Monarch Yuan¡¯s inheritance. When the Five Elements Sect was established he called himself a Yuan disciple. After I formed my core, I also went with the old ancestor to pay respects to True Monarch Yuan¡¯s ascendance card, so we should honor him as an ancestor.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing explained to Chen Mobai, but Fu Zongjue hadn¡¯t paid respects to True Monarch Yuan¡¯s ascendance card that was enshrined in the Five Elements Sect headquarters when he formed his core because the Primordial Ancestor had passed away and the Divine Wood Sect had separated from the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a look of sudden understanding. In that case, the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± is the inheritance of True Monarch Yuan.


    The cultivation technique left behind by an ascended immortal must be taken a good look in the future if there is a chance, and compared with the Immortal Sect¡¯s Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, to see which is superior and which is inferior.


    ¡°However, the reason why Yuan Ancestor was able to ascend is that he obtained some treasures left by the Church of Eternal Life. This Divine Tree Secret Realm is one of the places of inheritance of the Church of Eternal Life. Therefore, this magic artifact of yours might be left by the Church of Eternal Life, or it might be left by the Yuan Ancestor for his junior disciples.¡±


    While speaking, Zhou Shengqing returned the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to Chen Mobai, who took it over smoothly. In his heart, he was wondering whether the lie he told would be exposed.


    ¡°Can you control entering and leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm yourself?¡±


    Fu Zongjue suddenly asked, to which Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.


    ¡°Reporting to the two ancestors, I can only occasionally travel to the Divine Tree Secret Realm when I have a breakthrough in my realm. Afterward, I just have to undergo the so-called ¡®Eternal Life Questioning Road Test¡¯ in front of the Dao Tree to return to Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai can use this to explain the possible sudden disappearance in the future, claiming that he went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After all, he indeed could go there.


    ¡°Were there any other gains besides this magic artifact?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meng Hong asked this question, and Chen Mobai nodded. Then he spoke out the two secret techniques he got from the Talent Tree.


    ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± and ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡±.


    These two secret techniques were excellent teachings for those who primarily practiced the Eternal Life Scripture, but for him, they were of little use. It was better to offer them up to reinforce the authenticity of his previous statements.


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Then, right in front of the three of them, he immediately sat down cross-legged. Approximately half an hour later, he opened his eyes, and a green lightning bolt flickered in his pupils.

 Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Immortality Cult_2

    Chapter 462: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Immortality Cult_2


    ¡°Indeed, our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivation techniques originated from the Ascension Sect¡¯s legacy, but they are incomplete. If I could¡¯ve obtained the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue and Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue during Foundation Establishment, I might¡¯ve mastered the Sacred Tree Divine Light twenty years earlier!¡±


    Upon standing up, Zhou Shengqing opened his right hand. A stream of deep-green energy curled around his palm, morphing into the phantom of a lightning bolt.


    ¡°Congratulations, elder brother, on advancing your Longevity True Qi. You must be one step closer to Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Among those present, only Fu Zongjue was aware of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s realm. Seeing the deep-green energy in his palm, he was quite envious.


    ¡°After Meng Hong establishes his foundation, I will also leave the sect to seek my opportunity for Nascent Soul Formation. It all depends on my destiny in the last years of my life.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sighed, and the nearby Meng Hong immediately respectfully bowed his head.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Chen Guixian, you were probably recognized as an inheritor of the Ascension Sect when you met the standards of the Dao Tree during your first visit to the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡±


    Having confirmed that Chen Mobai¡¯s magic artifacts and cultivation techniques all came from the Secret Realm, Zhou Shengqing had already inferred a ¡°very reasonable¡± answer.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect is truly fortunate to have a genius like you join us. You should know that during our time, elder brother Zhou and I only managed to reach the ninth step of the Dao Tree. We couldn¡¯t pass the Ascension Dao questioning. Indeed, the tenth step is a major hurdle,¡±


    Fu Zongjue agreed with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s judgment. With both regret and relief, he nodded at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°After the two elder ancestors established their foundation, didn¡¯t you try testing again in front of the Dao Tree?¡±


    Chen Mobai voiced his doubt. The key to the Divine Tree Secret Realm lies in the Divine Wood Sect. If they wanted to enter, no one would stop them.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t hide this from you. After hearing about your Ascended Sword Stroke, we initiated it once.¡±


    ¡°But each realm has its own level of trials at the Dao Tree. The trials we Golden Core Cultivators face at the Ascertainment Dao page are terrifying. Although Meng Hong forcibly lasted till the final step by relying on his advanced foundation establishment realm, his age was too great. He was directly teleported out,¡±


    ¡°Regarding the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree, our spiritual power marks have already been recorded in them, so there was no response.¡±


    Upon hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, Chen Mobai secretly broke out into a cold sweat. It was fortunate that the rules of the Ascension Sect¡¯s inheritance site were meticulous towards those from the Tianhe Realm. Only he, who came from the Immortal Sect, could take advantage of the Divine Tree.


    ¡°The Five Elements Sect has another secret realm left by a Primordial Ancestor. It may also be related to the Ascension Sect. If you have the chance in the future, you can meditate and practice there.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing suddenly muttered a statement that made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widen.


    ¡°Elder Ancestor, would that be effective?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no harm in trying. The Primordial Dao Fruit lies in that secret realm. If you can acquire this cultivation technique, I will give you ten million sect contribution points.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, sweat trickled down Meng Hong¡¯s forehead. He carefully reminded, ¡°Elder Ancestor, the sect¡¯s storage doesn¡¯t have ten million spirit stones.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter; we can owe it. Doesn¡¯t the sect already owe me several million contribution points? Owing me another ten million is no big deal.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words left Meng Hong with no other choice but to laugh along. Once one reaches Core Formation, the sect offers little help. Mostly, it¡¯s the individual with the Core Formation protecting the sect.


    Especially Zhou Shengqing, who is about to attain Perfect Core Formation and preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. Only the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the thousand-year medicinal herbs can pique his interest.


    ¡°When the opportunity comes, I will give it a try.¡±


    Chen Mobai was now also curious about the Primordial Dao Fruit. After all, no Ascended Monks have ever emerged from the Immortal Sect. But in these ancient sects, there¡¯s talk of ascendance.


    The Ascension Sect is indeed very famous.


    He wants to know why the cultivators here can ascend after practicing to the very brink of perfection.


    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s best if you also successfully form your Core. Then, we, along with disciple Mo, will go back to the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were as direct as always. It seems he was still resentful about the initial splitting of the family.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s time for Meng Hong¡¯s Foundation Building.¡±


    Fu Zongjue reminded him.


    ¡°The Spirit Void flower and Break Void Mushroom have been prepared for him. It¡¯s a pity that the Rank-4 Dragon Blood Pill was snatched by Ji Zhenshi. That old man took it himself and broke through to the late stage of Core Formation. Otherwise, there would be more confidence.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said irritably. He had prepared two types of Gold Core Spiritual Material for Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation. He even auctioned off a Dragon Blood Pill in the Eastern Yi Territory, which could enhance the physique and vitality. Unfortunately, it was killed and snatched away by Ji Zhenshi in an unguarded moment.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai twitched his mouth slightly. He didn¡¯t know what the Dragon Blood Pill was, but the Spirit Void flower and Break Void Mushroom were the main ingredients of the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill. According to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s meaning, they were not to be made into pills, but to let Meng Hong swallow them raw.


    What a waste of resources.


    But he could only pretend he didn¡¯t hear. After all, even if these two types of spiritual medicine were given to him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to transform them into Immortal Gate¡¯s Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°You better cultivate diligently in the sect from now on.¡±


    At last, Fu Zongjue instructed Chen Mobai in a serious and heartfelt manner. In their view, his probability of Core Formation was much higher than that of Meng Hong and Chen Guixian.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    When responding, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.


    This meant that his words today had convinced the two old ancestors.


    When he left Shenmu Hall, Meng Hong saw him off and reminded him not to forget about Mu Yuan¡¯s matter.


    As this related to his Core Formation, Chen Mobai was naturally committed.


    The next day, he let Luo Yixuan go to Mu Yuan and Li Yixian. The two were waiting in Divine Wood City, and arrived at Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard within half an hour.


    With Yu Lian¡¯s successful experience, Chen Mobai once again imparted his knowledge and solved their problems.


    Through the simulation of the formless puppet, Mu Yuan was able to succeed in Foundation Establishment at once, while Li Yixian failed. The gap between their Spiritual Roots was a bit large.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s Wood Spirit Root was surprisingly high at 57 points, while Li Yixian¡¯s was only the ordinary three attribute True Spirit Root. However, his puppets were powerful, so he had been ranking in the top three in the Sect¡¯s big competitions these years.


    For this, Chen Mobai could only do his best to help, detailing the problems they would encounter in the simulation, and also guiding them on how to solve them.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to have any doubts. As long as you are confident in your heart that you can successfully establish the Foundation, take the pill and take that step.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this to Mu Yuan. Upon hearing this, the latter¡¯s eyes lit up. The confidence he had shown in sweeping the disciples of the Sect in these years was back.


    Mu Yuan was originally a very confident person, but he couldn¡¯t find that confidence in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Your Spiritual Root is average, and you have consumed too many pills when upgrading your Cultivation Level. Your Spiritual Power is not pure enough, so you will stop at condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    As for Li Yixian, Chen Mobai also spoke the truth. Upon hearing this, the latter couldn¡¯t help but hang his head in disappointment, but still thanked him for his guidance.


    ¡°When you reach the point of being unable to condense Liquid Spiritual Power, don¡¯t try to be strong. Just give up naturally. Your chance of success in taking the second Foundation Building Pill is still very high.¡±


    The last sentence from Chen Mobai made Li Yixian perk up a bit. Although he couldn¡¯t enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, as long as he could establish the foundation, he would have the opportunity to climb to higher realms.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen.¡±


    The two bade him goodbye and left.


    They both trusted Chen Mobai¡¯s diagnosis and went back to hone their spiritual power and took blood and Qi replenishing medicine as required.

    But the truth proved that whether they could succeed or not was decided during the process of their cultivation journey.


    Thanks to Mu Yuan¡¯s excellent Spiritual Root, the efficiency of refining spirit Qi was twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, he rarely took pills to improve his cultivation level, and there was almost no Danless Poison in his Spiritual Power. Coupled with the nourishment of Longevity Spiritual Power to his body and Divine Sense, he indeed completed the transformation of spirit and qi once he took the Foundation Building Pill, leading to successful Foundation Establishment.


    As for Li Yixian, he stopped at the step of condensing Qi into liquid. Due to the impact of the Danless Poison, during the formation of the fifth drop of liquid Spiritual Power, he faltered and couldn¡¯t continue.


    However, he took Chen Mobai¡¯s encouragement to heart, and chose not to force himself further but naturally gave up.


    The failure at Foundation Establishment didn¡¯t cause any major damage to his spirit and qi. Not only did it cleanse his marrow, but it also expelled some Danless Poison due to experiencing condensing Qi into liquid once. This laid a solid foundation for him to take the second Foundation Building Pill in the future.

 Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend..._1

    Chapter 463: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend¡­_1


    After Mu Yuan had established his Foundation, Chen Mobai breathed a small sigh of relief.


    At least he had secured two fruits, although he had discovered the pattern of the Tree of Longevity and Wood Spirit Root himself, he felt it was generally correct.


    Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao, both possessing astonishing Wood Spirit Roots, had each obtained a fruit of Longevity from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    As for Mu Yuan, his Wood Spirit Root was not inferior to Yue Zutao. According to previous experiences, he was definitely able to obtain a fruit of longevity, but it was unknown whether it would be a small or medium one.


    If it were a small one, it would repeat for him, causing a waste.


    Yu Lian, who possessed his Wood Spirit Talisman, was guaranteed at least one big fruit.


    If he were also to give a Wood Spirit Talisman to Mu Yuan, then that would mean two big fruits, which would also be a repetition¡­


    Chen Mobai was quite troubled. After considering his options, he decided to consult a professional.


    The foremost in the field of spiritual plants within the immortal sects was undoubtedly the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Fortunately, he had a good friend who was an excellent student from the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Qing Nu: [What¡¯s the matter?]


    Chen Mobai: [A friend of mine at the Academy has hybridized a very interesting Spirit Fruit. If you take a set of three, it can enhance one¡¯s realm. However, these three fruits need to be ingested and refined in the order of small, medium, and large to be effective. But despite his best efforts, he has only harvested three fruits: small, large, and large. I would like to ask if reducing the efficiency of one of the large fruits could allow it to substitute for a medium one.]


    Qing Nu: [In theory, it¡¯s possible, but you need high-end Magic Artifact equipment to observe It. First, determine the spiritual power contained in the small fruit and the big fruit, then establish a growth model, determine the curve range of the medium fruit, and finally reduce the efficiency of the big fruit to within this curve.]


    Chen Mobai: [Is this difficult?]


    Qing Nu: [It¡¯s not too difficult. If you have a sample, you should be able to create the model curve in two or three days. But the Magic Artifact equipment is hard to find, I don¡¯t know if your academy has it.]


    After she finished speaking, Qing Nu sent over a link. It was a paper from Jumang Daoist Academy on determining the maturity level of Big Tree fruits, detailing not only the procedure but also the required Magic Artifact equipment.


    Chen Mobai: [Thanks, I¡¯ll go ask my academy¡¯s teacher.]


    After replying with a grateful emoticon, Chen Mobai immediately called his familiar Agricultural Studies teacher, Lin Wenkang.


    What¡¯s pleasing is that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, being one of the top academies within the immortal sects, had all the necessary Magic Artifact equipment, despite not being as advanced in spiritual plants as the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°These were all discarded by the agricultural academy of the immortal sects. But for our academy, they are more than enough.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Lin Wenkang into the laboratory for determining the maturity of various agricultural products like seeds and fruits. There was a complete set of equipment and a specific instruction manual, hundreds of pages long.


    With his authority as the student council president, applying to use this laboratory was naturally quite easy. When there was no class in the Spiritual Plant Department at the academy, he could come over.


    After completing the procedures and processes, Lin Wenkang directly gave the keys to Chen Mobai, who also took away the instruction manual.


    Chen Mobai was very motivated to learn.


    However, he did not forget the important matters. After returning to the Giant Tree Ridge, he gave the Wood Spirit Talisman to Mu Yuan, as promised at the time of guidance.


    An arrogant person like Mu Yuan would naturally not break his promise.


    Luckily, the Magic Treasure Tree wasn¡¯t a Talent Tree, otherwise, after Mu Yuan used the Wood Spirit Talisman, he would have noticed a change in his Spirit Root.


    However, to be on the safe side, Chen Mobai decided that after the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened, he would also enter it to watch over Yu Lian and Mu Yuan to avoid any accidents.


    ¡°The fruits of the Magic Treasure Tree could be of great use to me, but this is your opportunity after all. This Rank-2 top quality Divine Wood Shield and Spirit Leaf Talisman can be considered as my compensations to you.¡±


    Yu Lian, who could establish his foundation, was greatly indebted to Chen Mobai, so he refused the compensation.


    But Mu Yuan, with his profound roots, would likely be successful in establishing his foundation even without Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance. Therefore, he felt it was necessary to give something in return.


    ¡°I agreed to this, you don¡¯t need these.¡±


    However, given Mu Yuan¡¯s personality, he would refuse any offer. He took the Wood Spirit Talisman and left straight away.


    ¡°With his attitude, he¡¯s bound to suffer in the future.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, watching Mu Yuan leave, mumbled this sentence.


    ¡°You should call him Uncle Master now, not ¡®this guy¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai tapped on his apprentice¡¯s forehead. After years of interaction, Luo Yixuan had begun to understand his personality better and had become livelier, treating him with less formality.


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, he was thinking that he needed to compensate Mu Yuan in some way when the chance came up in the future.


    Good things come in pairs.

    After Yu Lian and Mu Yuan had both established their foundations, Yuan Chiye, who had vanished before the battle between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, returned.


    ¡°You probably don¡¯t know this, but I first ran to Rock Country. But then I felt that a battle between our sect and Shake Mountain was inevitable, so I hurried non-stop to Sky Country and eventually rushed into Cloud Dream. I encountered many formidable demonic beasts, but luckily, I¡¯m good at escaping. After overcoming many difficulties, I eventually found the island Fang Market established by the sect there.¡±


    E Yun brought Yuan Chiye back personally. The three of them sat in his courtyard, drinking heartily after a long time apart.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re back safe.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile.

 Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend..._2

    Chapter 464: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend¡­_2


    ¡°Has Elder Brother Fu returned? In the end, we both went our separate ways. Life and death are fated, it seems he went in the opposite direction to Frost Country.¡±


    Yuan Chiye asked with concern. Fu Xingzhou had not yet returned, but Elder Ancestor Fu had reached an agreement with the Snow-blowing Palace. If they found him, they agreed to send him back.


    ¡°I hope he is also safe and sound.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who had also collaborated with Fu Xingzhou, sighed.


    However, on the second day, Yuan Chiye was called to Shenmu Hall by the Sect Leader.


    It was said that Elder Ancestor Fu was also there.


    Basically all the Cultivators who were mobilized by the sect in this war and survived have returned, only Fu Xingzhou was missing.


    After Yuan Chiye reported truthfully all he knew, he only received a thousand basic contributions, but he was admitted into the Shenmu Hall and became an inner hall senior manager, which is what he wished for.


    Then, Meng Hong officially announced his resignation from the position of Sect Leader.


    Chu Zuoshu was designated as the next Sect Leader, however, according to the rules, he still needed to decline the position three times.


    But everyone knew that he was about to become the Sect Leader.


    Invitations to the seven major sects were being prepared.


    And after Chu Zuoshu took over Shenmu Hall, the position of the Reward Virtue Hall Master would be vacant, Luo Xue¡¯er and Fu Huakun both started to make their own moves.


    During one of his duties, Chen Mobai was called over by Luo Xue¡¯er for a chat. This Sister who was in the late stages of Foundation Establishment was eloquent and gentle, and she tactfully asked a question in the end.


    ¡°Brother Liu, the Guard of the Founding Nation, his term will end next year. Brother Chen, are you interested?¡±


    Guard of the Founding Nation?


    Chen Mobai was surprised at her words.


    The Divine Wood Sect ruled over four nations, and since Giant Tree Ridge was in Jian Country, the so-called Guard of the Founding Nation was essentially a titular position. Even if one stayed within the sect for ten years, it would still count as completing the task.


    Therefore, the position of Jian Country¡¯s Guard had always been highly competitive.


    After all, if one wanted to hold important positions in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the sect, one needed the experience of being a Guard.


    Compared to Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Rain Country, Jian Country was undoubtedly the easiest and best choice.


    Also, the spiritual energy in Giant Tree Ridge was abundant, other places could at most have Rank-3 Spirit Veins.


    ¡°If possible, that would indeed be the best.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded, feeling that with his abilities, even if he were to become Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect in the future, he would be more than capable.


    To become Sect Leader, one definitely needed to progress step by step, and a ten-year term as a Guard was a hurdle that couldn¡¯t be bypassed. If he could complete it within the sect, without even needing to leave, that would definitely be the best.


    ¡°I will mention this matter when the Three Halls and the Twelve Divisions discuss matters, Brother Chen, you should also prepare in advance.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er said with a smile, then she left.


    Chen Mobai pondered for a while, still uncertain, he wanted to find someone to discuss it with.


    Unfortunately, Chu Zuoshu had already taken over Shenmu Hall recently, busy with the succession of the Sect Leader, and he was surrounded by all sorts of bystanders.


    Yue Zutao was also still in Lei Nation, acting as Guard there.


    After E Yun sent Yuan Chiye back, he went back to Yun Meng Ze the next day. He was the Guard of Yun Country, still in the process of accumulating experience.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai could only go to look for Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°I support Inspector Fu, but I am quite tempted by Vice Hall Master Luo¡¯s proposal. I wonder what Brother Sun would suggest?¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, Brother, just go ahead and support Inspector Fu. Even if your vote is added, it won¡¯t affect the overall situation.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what do you mean by this, Brother Sun?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a little confused, but Sun Gaochang just laughed, took a sip of the new wine Chen Mobai brought.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Master Chu will take over as Sect Leader, but the position of Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall should be vacant.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Sun Gaochang stretched out two fingers indicating the sky, and then stretched out a third.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, showing a look of realization.


    In the sect, the Hall Master of Shenmu Hall was Elder Ancestor Zhou, the Hall Master of Penalty Evil Hall was Elder Ancestor Fu. Only the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, previously Chu Zuoshu, was because there was no third Golden Core Cultivator in the sect.


    The saying goes ¡®No tiger on the mountain.¡¯


    And now after Meng Hong¡¯s resignation, because he was getting old, he would definitely reach the Golden Core stage in a short time.


    If he succeeds in Core Formation, then all three hall masters will be Golden Core cultivators, which would elevate the stature of the Divine Wood Sect. It would also pave the way for Meng Hong to assume the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master.


    Therefore, the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master is likely to be held open until Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    If he fails, Meng Hong, as previous Sect Leader, definitely won¡¯t take up this position and would likely fade away, serving as an elder behind the scenes.


    ¡°Furthermore, whether Master can take up the position of the Guard of Jian Country largely depends on the Sect Leader. Vice Hall Master Luo may have proposed it, but she is not the one to make the decision,¡±


    Sun Gaochang added, as both he and Chen Mobai were Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciples, they could now speak more openly.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Brother Sun.¡±


    With a look of enlightenment, Chen Mobai left the Spirit Plant Department.


    Three days later, Chu Zuoshu officially took over as Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, issuing edicts and official documents to every Cultivator in the Sect.


    However, the official ceremony would take place at the beginning of next year, giving time for the other East Wilderness Major Sects to react.


    After becoming Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu became even busier.


    But the war was over and the mess created by Meng Hong had been cleared up before his resignation, so all Chu Zuoshu had to do was distribute the compensation to the injured disciples, which was the most troublesome task.


    Especially those who were poisoned with the Broken Pulse Bead Poisonous Gas. Despite the Alchemy Department¡¯s full force treatment, many people¡¯s foundation were damaged and cultivation could be delayed by two to three years.


    This wasn¡¯t a big issue for the younger Cultivators, but for those aiming to compete for the true teachings of the sect, they might miss out on the Foundation Building Pill.


    Xie Yuntian from the Sword Training Department suggested delaying the production of the Foundation Building Pill by three years.


    Chu Zuoshu thought this made sense, but there were many objections. He was unsure whether to take this decision or not.


    As a result, a dispute began among the three halls and twelve departments over this issue.


    During the war between two sects, the disciples of the Sword Training, Body Forging, and Formation Departments were almost completely out on the field in Lei Nation. The impact of Broken Pulse Bead was severe on them. To secure their disciples¡¯ future, the department heads didn¡¯t hesitate to argue publicly.


    It¡¯s interesting when cultivators start a fight.


    However, Chen Mobai heard about this from Xi Yisheng. As the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, he had the privilege to attend and listen to the discussions.


    Meanwhile, as the high-ups of the Divine Wood Sect were arguing, Yu Lian, and Mu Yuan had finally been able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Lu Yi from the Transmission Department had used this opportunity to excuse himself from the argument.


    Chen Mobai, who had been eagerly waiting for this day, arrived at the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree in advance to wait.


    His real body was in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and his Avatara puppet was in front of the Talent Tree, to avoid any unforeseen accidents.


    In the sky, the silver light was flickering. Then there was a crack in the void, like a black lightning, splitting a jagged gap.


    Two people descended from this gap in the void.


    It was Yu Lian and Mu Yuan.


    After entering, the two of them immediately controlled their magic artifacts to stop the freefall and landed in the dense forest below.


    Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for three days, finally welcomed the arrival of Yu Lian.


    As obedient as ever, he took out the Wood Spiritual Talisman in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and ignited it, then disappeared on the spot.


    When he reappeared, he was holding an unopened yellow fruit.


    There was curiosity on Yu Lian¡¯s face, but he didn¡¯t open the fruit in the end, instead, putting it into his storage bag.


    Then he flew toward the direction of the Talent Tree.


    Chen Mobai nodded, but in his mind, he wondered why Mu Yuan hadn¡¯t come over yet.


    He waited for five long days, but neither in front of the Magic Treasure Tree nor the Talent Tree, did Mu Yuan appear.


    [Did he go to the Divine Dao Tree and tried the trial, only to be directly teleported outside?]


    Chen Mobai thought of this possibility, and he broke into a cold sweat.


    He felt that it¡¯s not beyond Mu Yuan¡¯s character to do this.


    Hopefully, he wouldn¡¯t fall short of success here!

    Chen Mobai grit his teeth and took out a Message Talisman to find Mu Yuan.


    He discovered that it was working, which meant that Mu Yuan was still inside the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree.


    What on earth was he doing?


    Chen Mobai, who let out a sigh of relief, noticed Yu Lian at the Talent Tree.


    With this mystery, he followed the Message Talisman and flew towards where Mu Yuan was.

 Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Chapter 330 Getting the fruit of the Tree of Longevity_1

    Chapter 465: Chapter 330 Getting the fruit of the Tree of Longevity_1


    When Chen Mobai found Mu Yuan, the latter was standing in front of a large tree that would take four to five people to encircle.


    This large tree seemed to have experienced a long span of time, its cyan-brown bark had slightly yellowed, its branches were vigorous like dragons. Yet strangely, it didn¡¯t bear any leaves.


    In order to avoid being noticed, Chen Mobai stood two kilometers away and then activated his Void Spirit Eye.


    With one glance, he realized what was happening.


    This was a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergoing transformation.


    It was unsure how Mu Yuan had discovered this, considering that during Chen Mobai¡¯s many years in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had only ever witnessed Red-sun Spirit Trees and never discovered a Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    However, this could also be because he was not on a specific search for it.


    The tree before his eyes was the legendary transformation process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree ¨C its three spiritual energies of earth, wood, and fire were imbalanced, triggering its transformation into a Qingyang Spirit Tree before it started to burn its own body with Qingyang Fire.


    It was unknown how Mu Yuan managed to find this place. Witnessing this extremely rare scene, he stood still involuntarily.


    Through his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai saw that the Qingyang Spirit Tree seemed to have undergone half of its transformation.


    The surrounding ground was covered with leaves wilted and fallen note after being burned by the Qingyang Fire. From the vigorous dragon-like branches, tiny red flames had begun to ignite at the tips.


    Like a chain reaction, the red flames began to rise in temperature gradually with the help of the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s main body.


    When all the branches had been burnt, the red flames had turned a faint purple.


    Subsequently, the faint purple flames began to heat the main body of the Qingyang Spirit Tree, a process that started slow but soon quickened.


    By the time the flames turned deep purple, there was only a stump of the Qingyang Spirit Tree left that was about as tall as half a person.


    All the flames gathered on top of the stump, which began to condense into form, but it seemed to lack a key force and hence could not form into a fire seed.


    ¡°For a plant to become spiritual, it¡¯s ultimately quite challenging,¡±


    Mu Yuan sighed, injecting his pure Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames.


    Soon after, the purple flames consumed the remaining stump and even swallowed up all signs of the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s existence down its roots, leaving behind a deep pit layered with ashes and wilted leaves.


    Yet even so, the formation of the Qingyang Fire Seed was incomplete and it was unable to take shape.


    Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan took out a Spirit Stone to absorb before continuously injecting Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames burning within the pit.


    Squeak! Crack!


    Accompanied by the sounds of trees snapping, Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan felled nearly a thousand Red-sun Spirit Trees within a half-kilometer radius, then swung each one of them into the tree pit like one would throwing firewood into a fire.


    Originally waning, the deep purple flames were revitalized by Mu Yuan¡¯s spiritual energy and the seemingly endless Red-sun Spirit Trees as fuel. Ultimately, an hour later, they solidified into a palm-sized ¡°fire seed¡±.


    This was the origin of the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Having seen the entire process, a look of sudden understanding appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    In the Giant Tree Ridge, Yue Zutao must have also used this method to create a fire seed after a failed transformation attempt by a Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Mu Yuan was indeed fortunate, being able to witness a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergo transformation within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It would have been great if the transformation was successful.


    In his heart, Chen Mobai sighed. After all, the Divine Tree Secret Realm was now practically his. If this Spirit Tree had successfully advanced to a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree, it would be a treasure either kept alive or harvested in the future.


    But failure is the norm, with success being an occasional incident.


    It served as a reminder for him to possibly find other Qingyang Spirit Trees, or even Golden Sun Spirit Trees, in the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai then directed his gaze towards the three Heaven-reaching Divine Woods at the core of the Secret Realm.


    He wondered if these three Divine Woods could grow into tree seeds.


    By this time, Mu Yuan had stored the newly born and still weak Qingyang Fire Seed into a pot.


    Watching him bring out two Spirit Stones to meditate and replenish the spiritual energy he¡¯d lost, Chen Mobai quietly let out a sigh of relief.


    You should finally head towards the Magic Treasure Tree now.


    Since he¡¯d found Mu Yuan, the guardian puppet at the Talent Tree didn¡¯t need to stay there any longer.


    Chen Mobai instructed his Divine Sense to follow Yu Lian, who had seemingly gained some Cultivation Techniques, and moved towards the Divine Tree.


    He wanted to see how many steps Yu Lian could take.


    A day later, Mu Yuan, who had recuperated his spiritual power, indeed did as he had anticipated and flew towards the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Being a man who kept his promises, he took out his Wood Spiritual Talisman and after activating it, entered the tree crown and also picked a yellow fruit.


    After that, Mu Yuan visited the Talent Tree.


    With his Wood Spirit Root, naturally, he obtained a Secret Technique that seemed extremely useful to him, causing the usually cold him to show a hint of pleasure.


    Lastly, it was in front of the Divine Tree.

    Yu Lian took seven steps, which was already a highly commendable feat.


    Knowing that E Yun also only managed seven steps.


    Without using the puppet, Chen Mobai alone also managed to stop at seven.


    But for the trial set by the longevity religion, seven steps were far from enough, the divine tree would not even notice.


    Chen Mobai wondered what Hong He, who had taken nine steps, managed to achieve here.

 Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Chapter 330: Obtaining the Fruit of Longevity_2

    Chapter 466: Chapter 330: Obtaining the Fruit of Longevity_2


    As Chen Mobai was lost in thought, Mu Yuan had already stood in front of the Dao Tree, taking a deep breath.


    Before they entered, Meng Hong had specifically mentioned that if he could take ten steps, he could obtain a startling opportunity.


    The Chen Brother whom Mu Yuan begrudgingly respected had taken ten steps in front of the Dao Tree. If he was to catch up in the future, this would be the best chance to gauge the gap between them.


    Ensuring he was at his peak, Mu Yuan took his first step¡­


    By the seventh step, Mu Yuan felt his divine sense becoming chaotic, like a hammer was jammed into his mind, shattering his soul and slowly sinking him into an eternal abyss.


    And yet, Mu Yuan still stubbornly took the eighth step.


    However, before this foot touched the ground, he had already lost consciousness and was then teleported away from this place.


    After watching both Yu Lian and Mu Yuan¡¯s performances, Chen Mobai was somewhat itching to test himself.


    Chen Mobai wanted to know how many steps he could take in front of this Dao Tree.


    The Tree Fruits were of utmost importance to him.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the Dao Tree, took out his phone, and returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Three days later.


    Chen Mobai stared at the two yellow fruits in his hand, revealing a satisfied smile.


    Yu Lian and Mu Yuan, after awakening, had each sent their fruits over in unopened condition. Their character was indeed trustworthy.


    After unsealing the two yellow fruits, as expected, they contained the Tree Fruits he needed.


    He also pulled out the little fruit he had obtained from Yan Jinye.


    The small fruit had a greyish-brown outer shell with one white mark.


    The two new fruits revealed three white marks, evenly distributed, covering their entire outer shells.


    They were undoubtedly big fruits.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was filled with excitement as he picked up one of the big fruits, feeling its immense energy. He couldn¡¯t wait to return to the Immortal Sect immediately.


    However, he hadn¡¯t finished the model for the fruit¡¯s growth cycle. His hands-on knowledge wasn¡¯t as practiced as Qingnu¡¯s.


    If the Tree Fruits weren¡¯t so important, Chen Mobai would have gone straight to Qingnu for help with downgrading the big fruits.


    But having thought about it, he¡¯d already managed for several years, now with three fruits in hand, he could afford the time.


    So, Chen Mobai learned how to use the medical instrument that evaluates fruit maturity while waiting for the unrest after the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s succession.


    In the end, Chu Zuoshu agreed to delay the Foundation Building Pill refining process by three years. After all, they couldn¡¯t disappoint the true disciples who fought for the Sect, but for fairness, the second next refining wouldn¡¯t be delayed.


    Which meant that the next harvest of the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms would be postponed to six years later, but the one after that would be seventeen years later, ensuring it¡¯s done before the new disciples join every ten years.


    This gives Ming¡¯er a chance.¡±


    In Xiao Nanshan, after reading the Sect¡¯s decree, Chen Mobai smiled and said to his two disciples.


    Zhuo Ming had barely broken through to Qi Cultivation rank seven last year. Considering her pace, she definitely couldn¡¯t achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection in three years. But with a three-year delay, Chen Mobai was confident that she could become a true disciple.


    I¡¯m not very good at Magic Duels. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll achieve the necessary cultivation realm, but still lose to the famous true disciples on the dueling platform.¡±


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t have much confidence in herself, her round face full of worry.


    You¡¯re being modest, Sister. Magic Duels rely mostly on actual combat. You just need to participate in the Sect¡¯s annual competition each year, and by the time six years pass, you¡¯ll definitely be no worse than any true disciple.¡±


    However, Luo Yixuan encouraged Zhuo Ming. She¡¯s been hiding her strength in every Sect competition, but managed to proceed to the round just before becoming a true disciple, gaining abundant combat experience.


    Furthermore, she participated in the two Sect battles with Liu Wenbo, gaining a fair amount of experience. She had the confidence that as long as she was performing normally, she¡¯d enter the ranks of true disciples.


    Ming¡¯er, there are six years left. Practice more spells.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Nine Ranges Law Body Technique that I gave you isn¡¯t bad. You need to continuously consume Spirit Rice daily to practice this technique. We have plenty of this here on Xiao Nanshan. There are also recorded auxiliary spiritual medicines that you can distill into medicinal wine and take them when you have time.¡±


    ¡°If you can master the first layer in six years, your physical strength will be equivalent to that of a top rank-1 magic artifact. By then, I will give you one or two Rank-2 magic artifacts, which will ensure your strong standing among the true disciples.¡±


    Among the three disciples, Chen Mobai is slightly more inclined towards Zhuo Ming currently.


    Mainly because the operation at Xiao Nanshan has grown larger and he is busy cultivating. She is responsible for managing nearly 100 acres of spirit field. If Zhuo Ming could reach Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai feels that she can fully inherit his real mantle in farming.


    Even now, Zhuo Ming brings Chen Mobai a profit of several thousand spirit stones every year.


    This second disciple, casually accepted, is like a treasure trove.


    Moreover, in the foreseeable future, once a mature Rank-2 Spirit Rice seed is developed, it will not be a harvest of patches of Spirit Rice but individual Spirit Stones.


    ¡°The Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine are all master¡¯s assets.¡±


    Zhuo Ming quietly said a sentence. According to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, the work done by a disciple for their master is all unpaid, and in return, masters are happy to impart some techniques and give some Spirit Stones.


    Although Chen Mobai is different from others, Zhuo Ming, who has grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since childhood, believes that being able to worship on Xiao Nanshan is the greatest opportunity. So she has always been diligent and adhered to the rules.


    Usually Chen Mobai does not speak, so she stores the harvested Spirit Rice in the warehouse and buries Spiritual Wine in the wine cellar, like a landlady, managing it diligently, never using it privately.


    ¡°I order you to cultivate the Nine Ranges Law Body. You can use any resources available in Xiao Nanshan, as well as Spirit Stones from the shop¡¯s account. If it¡¯s not enough, tell me.¡±


    After spending these years together, Chen Mobai had completely understood Zhuo Ming¡¯s character.


    If he spoke kindly, Zhuo Ming wouldn¡¯t dare, but she would obey and execute direct orders.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    As expected, after hearing the order, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face flushed slightly and she nodded happily.


    ¡°Master, can I cultivate it too?¡±


    Luo Yixuan also spoke up enviously from the side, but Chen Mobai shook his head.


    ¡°The Blackwater Cultivation you practice contradicts the path of the Nine Ranges Law Body. If you really want to forge your body, you can look for something in the Book Pavilion. As for Spirit Rice, we have no shortage of it at Xiao Nanshan. Whether you or Wen Bo need it, just take it.¡±


    On the surface, of course, Chen Mobai treats everyone equally. Speaking of Nine Ranges Law Body, he thought of another matter.


    ¡°Right, how¡¯s your learning from the Earth Master Heritage book I gave you last time?¡±


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a bit difficult.¡±


    Luo Yixuan said a little embarrassedly.


    She and Zhuo Ming were studying the Earth Master Heritage together, but the entry to a Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal was tough. They still haven¡¯t caught on.


    ¡°Focus on your personal cultivation, practice more combat-suitable spells, and study the Earth Master Heritage book in your spare time.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed, telling them not to neglect the essentials.


    Becoming a true disciple and obtaining a Foundation Building Pill is the main thing.


    He is a supporter of the realm-focused path, believing that it¡¯s best to boost the realm first, then enhance skills.


    After the two disciples withdrew, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of another technique he had on hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Myriad Law Body.¡±


    This was given to him by Yu Lian, who said it was the invincible technique used by the ancestor of the Wangu Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The ancestor of the Wangu Sect was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. Before the Hun Yuan ancestors, he was the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness, known as ¡°Not bound by all laws, merging with the vast sky¡±. When he used his Nascent Soul¡¯s form, it was like he had the blue dome of the sky above his head and yellow springs beneath his feet. He integrated body forging and Spell cultivation and was a peak existence.


    Previously, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have time to read it. Now that he has the fruit in hand, he is figuring out the growth model. It happens to be a means to use his time efficiently.


    With such an idea, Chen Mobai started reading ¡°Myriad Law Body¡±.

 Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Chapter 331: Consuming the Tree Fruit_1

    Chapter 467: Chapter 331: Consuming the Tree Fruit_1


    The so-called All Laws Persona!


    It is a condensation of a spiritual energy body, but this body is not an ordinary one. It requires the cultivator to utilise their innate talents and divine sense, constantly incorporating various technique laws and divine skills.


    In the beginning, this cultivation technique seems slightly innovative, but as it progresses it becomes extremely powerful.


    Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Formation, it is as though you possess a second nascent soul. When fighting against others of equal realm, the odds are substantially in your favor.


    But that¡¯s where the problem lies. The experiences of predecessors in cultivating All Laws Persona are completely ineffective. Each person needs to evolve according to their own constitution and talent, supplementing it with divine sense to bestow spirit.


    This has led to an irreversible decline of the Wan Gu sect after their ancient ancestor¡¯s nirvana.


    Because All Laws Persona is a late-stage technique. Even if cultivated in the early stages, it would not greatly enhance a combatant¡¯s capabilities.


    After the Wan Gu Sect was exterminated by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, its inheritance was dispersed among the stars. Every major sect possessed a part of it, including the basic cultivation method for All Laws Persona.


    Although some disciples later foolishly thought of recreating the invincible might of ancient Wan Gu ancestors in the Eastern Wilderness by diligently cultivating All Laws Persona, none of them made a splash.


    Gradually, the All Laws Persona was shelved.


    The copy of ¡°All Laws Persona¡± gifted to him by Yu Lian was an original version, hence slightly more complete than those confiscated by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. However, it mainly contained notes and cultivation insights of later generations from the Wan Gu Sect.


    Still, individuals possess different bodily constitutions, so these insights served only as a foundation for beginners. Once cultivation began, they were of no use.


    This instance of the All Laws Persona was a handwritten copy left behind by the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s ancestor, also the disciple of the ancient ancestor of the Wan Gu Sect. It outlined their lineage¡¯s experience in cultivating the All Laws Persona.


    Starting with a simple palm, the spiritual body is condensed into a single digit, much like the way a human body is gestated. From an ethereal skeleton to meridians and flesh, extended gradually to the whole body, this is a time-consuming process.


    The ancient ancestor of the Wan Gu Sect reportedly spent five hundred years to fully cultivate his unique All Laws Persona. Upon its debut in the Eastern Region, it established a grand reputation listed among the ¡°Seven Extremes of Tao¡±.


    At this point, Chen Mobai lost all interest.


    Given the time, he might as well improve his realm to a higher degree. After all, he feels he has no time to waste in cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    However, just as he was about to set aside All Laws Persona, he noticed the Formless Puppet on the side.


    Compared to the Eastern Wilderness, he had substantial advantages in cultivating All Laws Persona because he could use the Formless Puppet to deduce every step involved in cultivating this technique.


    For a cultivator of All Laws Persona, the most difficult part is to consolidate the spiritual energy body based on an individual¡¯s own constitution and talent. It¡¯s akin to extrapolating a body-transformation technique that¡¯s ideal for oneself from scratch right after becoming a novice.


    Even for individuals with mind-boggling talent, this would be a massive headache.


    After all, even Qi cultivators at the foundation-establishment stage require a long period of trials and exploration to deduce a new Qi cultivation technique. Considering this, how could someone deduce a cultivation technique as top-tier as All Laws Persona, a technique from the Eastern Wilderness to the Nascent Soul Realm, in a short period of time?


    Yet, Chen Mobai was different. His Formless Puppet could automatically deduce everything. Given ample Spirit Stones, he did not need to worry at all.


    He felt like he would regret it if he didn¡¯t cultivate All Laws Persona!


    With these strange feelings, Chen Mobai fed All Laws Persona into the Formless Puppet asking it to deduce the cultivation route.


    However, he found that this process was very slow.


    [Please set up a main route, should certain features be prioritised?]


    This prompt suddenly popped up on the Formless Puppet¡¯s screen. Without an order of entry into the technique, even this omnipotent puppet was a bit dumbfounded.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such a situation and he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    It seemed that even the heavens did not want him to cultivate All Laws Persona.


    The Formless Puppet couldn¡¯t even deduce it.


    But this outcome did not bother Chen Mobai much.


    He still favored techniques such as Pure Yang Daoist Body and Immortal Body that only required resources to reach fruition. All Laws Persona, which relied on comprehension and talent, wasn¡¯t suitable for his average talent.


    Having set this matter aside, Chen Mobai began to fully immerse himself in the growth model curve of the large fruit.


    Although he had average talent, being a foundation-establishment cultivator, he could learn some knowledge very quickly when he concentrated.


    After spending half a month¡¯s time, he had finally completed all the theory and was only left with practice.


    At this point, Chen Mobai was already a bit impatient.


    After all, consuming these three tree fruits would save him hundreds of years of hard work and directly elevate Chen Mobai¡¯s longevity sutra from the early foundation stage to foundation perfection.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It was a bit embarrassing that, although it had been over three years since he reached the foundation establishment, the progress in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s signature longevity sutra was terribly slow.


    From ¡°10 drops¡± of liquid spiritual power at the time of the foundation establishment, it had only increased to ¡°15 drops.¡±


    According to the cultivation experience of many seniors in the Divine Wood Sect, at around 35 to 50 drops, one can attempt to break through to the middle foundation stage. The exact amount varies from person to person, depending on how deep their foundations are.


    One can start breaking through to the late foundation stage with 100 to 120 drops of longevity spiritual power.


    At foundation perfection, the Divine Wood Sect recorded that the minimum amount of spiritual power was 150 drops, while the most was 180 drops by Zhou Laozu.

 Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Chapter 331 Consuming Tree Fruit_2

    Chapter 468: Chapter 331 Consuming Tree Fruit_2


    Compared to the countable liquid spiritual power at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment mentioned in the Pure Yang Scroll, the Divine Wood Sect uses approximations.


    Basically, when you feel that your Dantian Qi Sea has been filled with spiritual power and can no longer condense and elevate, you can start breaking through.


    Whether the breakthrough will be successful depends entirely on fate.


    If you overcome the bottleneck, your Dantian will expand, allowing you to condense and store more spiritual power. If not, one must heal the damage to the Dantian and try breaking through again after nourishment and recovery.


    In contrast, the experts of the Immortal World have standardized the pattern and the amount of spiritual power required for each breakthrough.


    These are outcomes of endless experiments, and they represent the easiest way to break through and the way that minimally damages the body and divine sense, even if the breakthrough fails.


    Take the Pure Yang Scroll as an example.


    15 drops of liquid spiritual power signify the successful foundation establishment, and when you accumulate 30 drops, you can begin the breakthrough to the second level.


    45 drops correspond to the third level.


    However, the bottleneck between the third and fourth layers is relatively harder. A slight increase requires 70 drops of liquid spiritual energy.


    But as the Dantian Qi Sea has expanded twice at the second and third levels, the original major bottlenecks have already been broken twice, making the breakthrough much easier.


    At 70, 90, and 110 drops correspond to the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment, respectively.


    At 150, 180, and 210 drops correspond respectively to the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Upon reaching perfection in Foundation Establishment, unless one is innately physically weak or suffers from early Yuan Yang leakage, everyone will have 240 drops of liquid spiritual power.


    In comparison, the level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll is equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s current cultivation speed of 5 drops every 3 years, if every breakthrough is successful, he could theoretically reach the fourteenth level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll in about 100 years.


    His Wood Spirit Root is still somewhat inadequate.


    This is because he has the luxury of abundant spirit stone resources of the Divine Wood Sect. If he adds the time spent on Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai feels that his current lifespan of 300 years may just allow him to attempt Core Formation once at the peak of his physical energy and blood.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai was so excited about obtaining the Tree Fruit of Longevity, which could save him time.


    This fruit could save him a hundred years of hard work.


    First, he wants to reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment of the Longevity Scroll, then use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method to boost the realm of the Pure Yang Scroll. In this way, he is confident that he can attempt core formation before he turns 100.


    Even if the first attempt fails, he will have another hundred years at his peak to keep trying.


    If he¡¯s short on resources in the Immortal World, he can think of a solution in the Tianhe Realm. Worst case scenario, he could eat Spirit Void flowers and Break Void Mushrooms raw, just like Meng Hong.


    As long as he tries enough times, he¡¯ll eventually succeed.


    With a clear plan in mind, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal World.


    First, he visited the Crimson City Cave.


    He and Yu Rulin had agreed on the purchase of Longevity Elixirs. A business transaction worth over four million Good Deed Points was no small matter, even for two Foundation Establishment cultivators who are heads of their own Daoist Academies. They both needed to be cautious.


    However, as per Chen Mobai¡¯s request, he didn¡¯t need an invoice for this transaction.


    In other words, he didn¡¯t want any points. This way, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute didn¡¯t need to pay taxes, saving a considerable amount of Good Deed Points.


    Yu Rulin wasn¡¯t surprised by this, as many who purchased the Longevity Elixir from their institution didn¡¯t wish to let others know they were shortening their lifespans. Some were on the brink of death, trying desperately to extend their lives by wasting Good Deed Points. To keep their families from finding out, they also requested confidentiality in the transactions and didn¡¯t publicize their accounts.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mass purchase of such life-extending elixirs might not have been possible if he hadn¡¯t given the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute a heads-up to start producing the Longevity Pills in advance.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen, here are your elixirs. Please take care of them.¡±


    Yu Rulin handed a two-layered long wooden box to Chen Mobai. Upon opening, he found thirty Lifespan Extension Pills on the top layer and thirty Longevity Pills on the bottom.


    Each pill was individually packaged, very simple.


    Chen Mobai carefully opened one Life Extension Pill and Longevity Pill to inspect.


    ¡°The transaction is complete, you should check,¡±


    After confirming that there was no issue with the pills, Chen Mobai also instructed his mother to transfer the Good Deed Points to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s account.


    Yu Rulin waited a moment before receiving the deposit confirmation sent by the institute¡¯s finance manager. He wore a pleased expression, having benefited considerably from this large transaction. More so because it did not count towards his points total, allowing him to receive more.


    That being said, Chen Mobai was not at a disadvantage, as without invoice, the original total of over four million Good Deed Points was now just over three million six hundred thousand.


    If the Life Extension Cultivation Institute had to pay tax, then Chen Mobai would earn points, but he would also have to shoulder the payment¡¯s overhead.


    By not going through official channels now, neither party needed to pay tax to the Immortality Gate.


    It was a win-win situation.


    In truth, were it not for his desire to keep his purchase of Longevity Elixir a secret, Chen Mobai would be more than willing to pay tax in exchange for points. After all, he could exchange those points for good things from the Immortality Gate.


    After having coffee with Yu Rulin, the two contentedly parted ways.


    Chen Mobai pondered a moment, and took the box of Longevity Elixir with him back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After all, he didn¡¯t know exactly what would happen when he used the Tree Fruit to make his breakthrough. If any unusual signs or fluctuations exposed him back at the Immortal Gate, it would be difficult to explain.


    He decided to first try the small fruit from Yan Jinye.


    Xiao Nanshan also had a Rank-3 high-grade Spirit Vein, combined with the Spirit Gathering Array he borrowed from Yunyang Bing, it could be enhanced to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a short time, not inferior to the environment at the Daoist Academy.


    Moreover, the whole Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Spirit Vein belonged exclusively to him, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about the Spirit Energy supply being cut off by the Academy¡¯s administrator, should they notice that the Gathering Array was drawing too much energy.


    Before using the Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai thoroughly examined the situation of his breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage through the Eternal Life Sutra with his formless puppet. After confirming that there would be no problems, he took a deep breath and bit open the outer shell of the fruit.


    In that instant, an indescribable overflow of vitality burst from within the fruit like a galaxy pouring into his body. Brought along with it was a tremendous energy flow that surged throughout his entire body.


    Chen Mobai felt as if his five viscera, six bowels, and twelve normal meridians were being steeped in a warm current, undergoing a rapid transformation. The circulating longevity spiritual power in his body was forming like dewdrops. For each complete Grand Circulation, a drop would form in his Dantian Qi sea.


    The two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones in his hand were quickly drained, turning into white powder and dispersed.


    But Chen Mobai had prepared for this, the Spirit Gathering Array specially made by Yunyang Bing was activated. The spiritual energy density at the top of Xiao Nanshan was immediately elevated to Rank-4 lower-grade.


    Streams of extremely pure spiritual energy, like colorful rays of light, flowed into Chen Mobai¡¯s body, where he transformed them into drops of longevity spiritual power.


    Zhuo Ming, who was weeding at the foot of the mountain, felt a slight decline in earth energy and looked up in confusion.


    Then, she saw a white vortex emerge suddenly over the mountain peak that was always enshrouded in mist. It devoured and swept away the surrounding spiritual energy, faintly emitting colorful lights. It seemed like a pool of colorful clouds was surging on the mountaintop, or a colorful sun was slowly rising, casting rainbow glimmers. It was incredibly dazzling and beautiful.


    At this time, Luo Yixuan also returned.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s seclusion, he had asked her to bring the hired mortals and lower-level Qi Cultivators cultivating in Xiao Nanshan to Small Yang Ridge to avoid anyone finding out about any unusual signs during his breakthrough.


    However, this was always the custom here in the Tianhe realm. When Ji Zhenshi made a breakthrough to the late-Core Formation stage, he was also very secretive, intending to surprise his opponents. However, he didn¡¯t expect to encounter Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang and almost got killed.

    Before his seclusion this time, Chen Mobai told Luo Yixuan that there might be some disturbances. She was very happy, thinking that the master trusted her the most since he entrusted such an important task to her.


    In fact, it was because Zhuo Ming was good at farming but not proficient at handling such matters, so he entrusted the task to Luo Yixuan.


    On the mountain peak, Chen Mobai¡¯s longevity spiritual power quickly increased to 35 drops, but that wasn¡¯t close to enough.


    Having grown up consuming Spirit Rice, his Innate Yuan Qi was plentiful, and the minimum standard clearly wasn¡¯t enough.


    At this point, Chen Mobai could feel his lifespan starting to dwindle.

 Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence_1

    Chapter 469: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence_1


    For a young man like Chen Mobai, there was barely any noticeable feeling in the slight depletion of his lifespan.


    But the effects of longevity tree fruit were overwhelmingly profound. Drop by drop, as spiritual energy took form, his once robust vitality and essence started to stabilize, as if he had suddenly bypassed his youthful days and transformed into a mature man.


    Gradually, his long, jet-black hair started to grow grey, indicating a significant depletion of his lifespan.


    Simultaneously, the amount of Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea reached 50 drops, pushing him to his absolute limits.


    The decrease in his lifespan was now clearly perceptible to him, manifesting in various aspects of his existence.


    Chen Mobai felt his divine consciousness fluctuations smooth out. His Essence and Blood Energy seeped out from secret corners of his body, one bit at a time, blending with the warm flow within his vital organs, acupoints, and meridians, morphing it into a mysterious yet potent force that expanded his Dantian Qi Sea, saturated with Longevity Spiritual Power, inch by inch.


    Days passed one by one.


    As Chen Mobai consumed the tree fruit to break through his realm, his opponents were also making their moves.


    ¡­


    Pure Yang Academy.


    Xiahou Weihuan respectfully ushered a rugged man with yellowish complexion into a Spirit Energy Synthesis Room.


    ¡°Min Master, I¡¯m burdening you once again.¡±


    The rugged man, named Min Fangheng, was a famed Rank-4 Earth Master in the world of Immortal Cultivation. At a time when the cultivation profession was in decline, he was a top expert in his field.


    ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. After all, Nangong Xuanyu has generously rewarded me with Good Deed Points.¡±


    With a faint smile that revealed his pearly white teeth, Min Fangheng moved towards the magical devices in the Spirit Energy Synthesis Room. He began to skillfully operate and fine-tune the equipment.


    ¡°Min Master, actually it¡¯s not the Principal who requested the ¡®Fire Yang Evil¡¯. It¡¯s me,¡± Xiahou Weihuan said something that stopped Min Fangheng in his tracks. Min Fangheng turned around and scrutinized him up and down, asking with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Bespoke Evil Qi from me is expensive.¡±


    Due to scarcity, the majority of Evil Qi is classified as spiritual objects under control and prohibited from being extracted.


    However, a lot of advanced spells, like Sword Sha, can¡¯t do without it. Hence, under these circumstances, the Repairing Heaven Institute developed an artificial synthesis method for Evil Qi.


    Sometimes, the artificial kind is more suitable for cultivators compared to the wild one.


    Since the former is manmade, it takes the user¡¯s requirements into full consideration during synthesis. This ensures that shortly after the Evil Qi is synthesized it can be refined rapidly and easily.


    The Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s Yuan Xu, was awarded the ¡°Flying Immortal Award¡±, the highest accolade in the world of Immortal Cultivation, issued only once in a thousand years for his revolutionary synthetic Evil Qi technology.


    This award honours epoch-making transcendental techniques.


    After receiving the award, Yuan Xu graciously published his research paper on synthetic Evil Qi for public view.


    He studied every type of Evil Qi possessed by the world of Immortal Cultivation and came to a basic conclusion.


    Every type of Evil Qi can be broken down into the five basic elements of essence.


    The Five Element Essence is divided into Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements. In theory, these are known as the Ten Heavenly Stems in the world of Immortal Cultivation: Jia and Yi Wood, Bing and Ding Fire, Wu and Ji Earth, Geng and Xin Metal, Ren and Gui Water.


    Yuan Xu started here, breaking every pattern of Evil Qi down to its irreducible essence.


    For instance, a strand of Fire Yang Evil consists of 2 parts Jia Wood Essence, 3 parts Bing Fire Essence, 1 part Ding Fire Essence, 2 parts Wu Earth Essence, 1 part Geng Metal Essence, 1 part Ren Water Essence. Then, using a special environment created by the ordered magical apparatus, the Evil Qi is diligently refined, and eventually, a synthetic Evil Qi is produced.


    The ones capable of this in the world of Immortal Cultivation are the ¡°Earth Masters¡±.


    Min Fangheng is a specialist in the artificial synthesis of Evil Qi, most proficient in refining Fire Yang Evil. In addition, thanks to the substantial investment by the Pure Yang Academy in buying magical equipment, it made it possible for Nangong Xuanyu to cultivate as many as nine Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the particular environment of Immortal Cultivation.


    ¡°Min Master, rest assured. It¡¯s the Principal who asked me to invite you here. We will pay you a consulting fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, a commission fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, and an additional ten thousand for expenses. A total of two hundred and ten thousand Good Deed Points will be credited to your account upon completion.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, considering your background in the cultivation of Five Element Essence, instructing you won¡¯t be too tiring.¡±


    After suffering a crushing defeat against Lan Haitian in Little Red Sky, Xiahou Weihuan, spurred on by his pain, resolved that the only way to redeem his humiliation was to cultivate the Primordial Yang Sword Sha before Core Formation.


    The cost of creating synthetic Evil Qi wasn¡¯t high for Xiahou Weihuan, but the issue was the Five Element Essence.


    The so-called Five Element Essence is the spiritual power gained by cultivators practising a single attribute of Five Elements cultivation, and then reversing it back into spiritual energy by dispersing their power.


    What resulted was a pure and unadulterated Five Elements spiritual energy.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Cultivators practising Five Elements techniques can¡¯t cultivate Five Element Essence.


    Five hundred years ago, when Yuan Xu had just released his paper on synthetic Evil Qi, many Earth Masters hired base level Qi practitioners to cultivate it.


    Back then, a cultivation of Five Element Essence could fetch a price of 1000 Good Deed Points.


    For many cultivators who had no hopes for Transcendence, it became a golden path to earning a side income to support their families.


    Consequently, most average cultivators who were practising Five Elements techniques switched en masse to cultivate various single-attribute Qi practices, with the aim of dispersing their cultivated spiritual energy into Five Element Essence for selling.

 Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence Qi_2

    Chapter 470: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence Qi_2


    Cultivators in the later stage of Qi Cultivation can refine one strand of the Five Elements Essence every three to four days.


    For cultivators who have given up on the prospect of reaching Foundation Establishment, releasing the spiritual power they¡¯ve cultivated in exchange for tens of thousands of Good Deed Points is an attractive option.


    But soon, as more and more cultivators started to sell their refined Five Elements Essence, the price dropped, hitting a low of only 100 Good Deed Points at its worst.


    The immortal sects soon realized that this behavior was damaging the foundations of society and quickly issued a ban on it.


    They even equated the act of selling one¡¯s Five Elements Essence to blood selling in their public announcements, urging cultivators not to trade their future for temporary Good Deed Points.


    Once the massive machine that was the immortal sect got going, no one could stop it.


    However, the immortal sect did not prohibit the artificial synthesis of Earth Sha Qi.


    With the maturation of technology, not only could all thirteen types of Earth Sha Qi recognized by the immortal sect be artificially synthesized, but explorations into the remaining fifty-nine types of Earth Sha Qi were also ongoing with new research paper surfacing every few years and causing a sensation.


    The question then is ¨C


    If the immortal sect forbids the sale of Five Elements Essence, how are cultivators supposed to artificially synthesize Earth Sha Qi?


    The answer is to refine it themselves.


    The nine Fire Yang Shas that Min Fangheng synthesized for Nangong Xuanyu were the result of painstaking refinement by Nangong Xuanyu himself, achieved through the cultivation of Five Elements techniques.


    The sect ignores cultivators who refine it for their own use, viewing it as a part of the cultivation process.


    Of course, many Core Formation Professors claim to refine their essence but actually have their students do it for them.


    Nangong Xuanyu was fairly principled in this regard. Of the nine Fire Yang Shas, the first five were refined from his own Five Elements Essence. The remaining four were refined by others like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    That¡¯s why Min Fangheng said that Xiahou Weihuan had experience.


    According to the standards of the immortal sect, one Sha Qi is divided into ten strands, and each strand is further divided into ten threads, and each thread into ten fibers.


    If Xiahou Weihuan was to refine the Five Elements Essence by himself, even though he has achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment and cultivates Qi quickly, he would need a thousand days at a rate of ten strands a day. He definitely wouldn¡¯t make it in time for the year-endDaoist Academy Conclave.


    But given that they had already brought the person here, they must have planned for this.


    Xiahou Weihuan opened a cabinet on the wall and took out ten large, colorful glass bottles, laying them out in front of Min Fangheng.


    ¡°You¡¯re sure you refined all of this yourself?¡±


    Min Fangheng looked at the glass bottles full of Five Elements Essence with disbelief, but Xiahou Weihuan simply nodded with a calm expression.


    ¡°This is the result of my hard work over the years.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Min Fangheng rolled his eyes. However, he was only there for the money, and if the client said the materials were legitimate, it would not be his problem if any issues arose later.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just take your word for it then.¡±


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Sha, I¡¯ll first defeat Doufa Sheng of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who¡¯s nothing more than an overrated scholar, then challenge Lan Haitian to avenge my previous disgrace.¡±


    Seeing Min Fangheng start setting up the apparatus to synthesize Fire Yang Sha, Xiahou Weihuan clenched his fists, already tallying up a list of opponents in his mind.


    But then he recalled Sima Xingyu, who had his cultivation restored and said that he would defeat Doufa Sheng of Dance Tool Dao Academy personally.


    The battle in which he sabotaged his cultivation, unable to take down Chen Mobai, who wanted to break the record of the Primordial Yang elder in Xiao Red Sky, had become Sima Xingyu¡¯s Heart Demon.


    ¡°Well, in that case, I¡¯ll leave Chen Mobai to Sima Xingyu. To think that a mere youngster would dare to claim the title of Doufa Sheng. At the end of the year, I¡¯ll show you what a real Sword Cultivator is!¡±


    As a fellow practitioner of Sword Light and the exceptional Primordial Yang Sword Secret, the second-best sword technique in the immortal sect, Xiahou Weihuan was confident that Sima Xingyu could manage Chen Mobai as easily as a cat catching a mouse.


    ¡­


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and lifted his hand to sense the liquefied Spiritual Power deep within his body. He couldn¡¯t help but execute a technique he seldom used.


    Yi Wood Divine Thunder!


    He had developed a preference for this technique ever since he escaped from the South Mountain Thieves with a Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    The first Rank-2 talisman Chen Mobai learned was the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    Of course, he needed to master the technique before he could begin drawing talismans. Although he had mastered the technique, his mediocre Wood Spirit Root meant that it wasn¡¯t as powerful as his Sword Rainbow.


    But, things had changed now!


    A radiant green thunderbolt shot out from his palm, much like a sword cleaving the heavens, slicing through the misty clouds atop the mountain, unveiling the clear blue sky.


    Chen Mobai discovered that the power of this spell had reached nearly three-quarters of the intensity of his own sword light.


    So this is the increased potency of spells driven by the ascent in realm!


    Indeed, the realm is of utmost importance.


    Chen Mobai deepened his understanding of the importance of the realm even further.


    Just then, a strand of grey caught his attention.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror appeared before his eyes. Upon seeing his own grey hair reflected in the mirror, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of heartache.


    He had lost several decades of lifespan just like that.


    Although breaking through the realm felt exhilarating, seeing himself suddenly transition from his youthful prime to middle age was indeed a melancholic experience for him, given his young mindset.


    Luckily, the lifespan he had expended could be replenished.


    Chen Mobai promptly swallowed a life-replenishing elixir that he had unsealed earlier. After waiting for a while, he didn¡¯t feel anything.


    After all, it could only replenish a year¡¯s worth of lifespan ¨C a mere drop in the bucket compared to the several decades he had lost.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry, as longevity elixirs could only be consumed once a day. He began to experience the sensations that followed his breakthrough to the middle phase of Foundation Establishment.


    The Qi Sea in his Dantian had more than doubled its size, and under his divine sense inspection, he noticed white patterns resembling the husk of the Longevity Spirit Fruit on the outer rim of his Dantian. These looked like some sort of natural barrier.


    Only by consuming more Longevity Spirit Fruits could such barriers be breached.


    After the breakthrough, the liquid longevity spiritual power, which was initially packed in Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian, turned into a deep pool sinking in the lower half of his Dantian. Meanwhile, the upper part contained a small sun formed by thirty-eight drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Surrounding this small sun were four Sword Pills nurtured by indigo flames.


    They formed a configuration like a pentagram containing one large and four smaller components.


    Once longevity spiritual power surged, it would be ignited by the Qingyang Fire, transforming into Pure Yang spiritual power and fuel for powering up the Green Flame Sword Sha.


    While connecting both powers via Dual Phase Technique, Chen Mobai also isolated wood and fire spiritual power using the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. The longevity spiritual power was not mature enough to be consumed yet.


    Next, Chen Mobai practiced various spells from the Eternal Life Sutra, and even unfolded the tree seeds using the Heavenly Wood Talisman.


    A pity that the Green Sun Tree Seed he had gotten during the war last time had been returned. Now, he could only experiment with the Red-Sun Spirit Tree. Despite this, Chen Mobai could perceive the essence of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s magic duels.


    The Heavenly Wood Spirit Light changed unpredictably under the control of his two cultivation techniques. Chen Mobai even gained a flash of inspiration about developing the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±.


    It seemed that the words of Elder Zhou were not unfounded.


    A pity that just when he was about to evolve along this line of inspiration, the Red-Sun Spirit Tree next to him split open suddenly.


    A Rank-1 spirit tree simply couldn¡¯t withstand such evolutions.


    In his contemplation, Chen Mobai decided to consult Yue Zutao on how to condense tree seeds when he returned.


    Purchasing directly would be too expensive.


    After being reminded by Mu Yuan, Chen Mobai realized that mature Qingyang Spirit Trees must be in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Since he had them in his backyard, why should he buy them?


    Calculating the time, it seemed like a day had passed. Chen Mobai took out another longevity pill which he had previously unsealed and swallowed it.


    Finally, he felt the effects of a spirit pill that replenished ten years of lifespan.


    He felt a refreshing coolness flow throughout his body, giving Chen Mobai the illusion that he had turned young again.


    However, his grey hair wouldn¡¯t turn back to black.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    To avoid attracting attention, Chen Mobai considered asking Luo Yixuan to help him manage his hair¨C perhaps shave it off completely so that no one could deduce the loss of his lifespan from his hair.


    However, most cultivators in the Tianhe Realm had long flowing hair. If he became bald all of a sudden, it would be hard to explain.


    After some consideration, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate and found a high-end hair salon to dye his hair black again.


    As he was unsure of just how much lifespan he had lost and didn¡¯t dare to undergo a checkup at a hospital to avoid leaving traces, he swallowed only two longevity pills and ten life-replenishing elixirs to avoid wastage.


    While replenishing thirty years of his lifespan, he finally began the process of downgrading a big fruit.

 Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Chapter 333: Foundation Establishment Perfection_1

    Chapter 471: Chapter 333: Foundation Establishment Perfection_1


    Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan has been sitting under a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree for four years.


    Streams of pure spiritual energy from all directions poured into his body. His spiritual power fluctuated stronger each day, nearing a certain threshold, breaking through barriers.


    His eyes opened, and within the two dark depths were eyes akin to a black cloud, captivating, yet instilling reverent awe. It was as if layers of cloud rested deep within his eyes, concealing formidable power.


    Since pretending to be seriously sword-wounded, Yuan Hongyuan made a show of having his family collect healing elixirs, while he tucked himself away here to cultivate.


    It¡¯s unknown how the organization verified his story, but they indeed believed Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s excuse.


    It seemed he truly fought the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Sword Dao Genius, was severely injured, and even accepted the consoling gift of several spirit pills.


    Yuan Hongyuan played dumb, sighing and coughing from time to time. After taking the pills, he never left Black Cloud Mountain.


    Aside from that, the medication from the organization had also loosened his stagnant cultivation realm.


    Joyful, Yuan Hongyuan had his family purchase breakthrough spiritual objects.


    Today, he finally overcame the bottleneck that troubled him for more than twenty years and advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    Although renowned in the outside world as unbeatable within the same rank due to his cultivation through force¡­


    But in reality, he knew it was because of cautiousness. Details about his opponents¡¯ techniques were always learned in advance, resulting in his impressive undefeatable record.


    The most significant victory was one against three, but that was just leveraging the geographical advantage and setting up a formation in advance. Even then, it was hard to repel three enemies of the same realm with the united effort of his clan¡¯s cultivators.


    Stuck in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment for hundreds of years, he had already given up ambition, intending to live the rest of his life peacefully.


    If there were promising talents in his clan, he would be willing to assist them fully, in hope of continuing the lineage of the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain that he painstakingly created.


    But after advancing to mid-Foundation Establishment, a hint of excitement stirred within Yuan Hongyuan.


    Could he still strive for a higher realm?


    However, Yuan Hongyuan quickly shook his head with a bitter smile.


    He was already over a hundred years old. He had been severely wounded several times competing for resources when he was young, and estimated that his lifespan was only a hundred years.


    He spent a hundred years advancing from the early to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.


    The opportunity for the next breakthrough probably wouldn¡¯t come until on his deathbed.


    Moreover, the cultivation technique he practiced, the ¡°Black Cloud Wave Technique,¡± could only be cultivated up to the late Foundation Establishment stage. The following part for Foundation Establishment Perfection and Core Formation stages were held in the hands of the organization¡¯s higher-ups.


    However, advancing to mid-Foundation Establishment was, after all, a good thing.


    Yuan Hongyuan used a special talisman to inform his liaison about this breakthrough.


    The higher one¡¯s realm in the organization, the more benefits one can receive. He had nearly exhausted the family¡¯s coffers for this breakthrough, so he planned to take on more tasks to earn spirit stones and resources.


    Three days later, as Yuan Hongyuan was consolidating his realm, a paper talisman flew over.


    After reading the message, his face became solemn, and he immediately switched on the mountain¡¯s large protective formation.


    A familiar figure descended from the sky.


    ¡°Congratulations on your breakthrough.¡±


    The man still faced away from Yuan Hongyuan, but his tone was much more polite than before.


    ¡°Thank you for the Yuan Enhancement Pills you delivered last time. Why did you come personally today? Any new assignments?¡±


    Standing behind the visitor, Yuan Hongyuan had a calm expression but was constantly muttering inside, worrying that it would be another assassination assignment on the chief of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Do you remember your fight with Chen Guixian?¡±


    The question startled Yuan Hongyuan. Those with less experience might have thought their made-up story was exposed, but Yuan Hongyuan had a well-prepared story about his ¡°great battle¡± with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The pain and injuries inflicted by his domineering Sword Qi, I will never forget it in my life. If I get the chance, I would love to experience his moves again.¡±


    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll give you that opportunity!¡±


    As soon as the visitor replied, a stunned Yuan Hongyuan nearly lost his composure.


    [I was just saying it, don¡¯t take it seriously!]


    News about the grand battle between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had already spread throughout Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai, the most eye-catching person in the war who slew three Foundation Establishment experts, one of which was Mu Hanxiong, a famous Peak Master from Shake Mountain, as well as bravely dived into the territory of Rock Country to duel Ji Dingjin, the second-in-command of Shake Mountain, resulting in a draw.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All these remarkable achievements had elevated Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as the second sword of Eastern Wilderness.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s fame on the rise, Yuan Hongyuan, who once drew a fight with him and was mutually wounded, also found his status in the organization following suit. Even though they knew he did not rely on strength for cultivation, they acknowledged his outstanding battle skill.


    The organization had insiders in Divine Wood Sect and learned that Chen Mobai might become the Town Guard of Founding Nation. He would surely need to patrol the neighboring markets around Giant Tree Ridge.


    They wondered if they could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate this most brilliant talent the Divine Wood Sect had produced since its split.


    However, when others in the organization learned who the target was, they all found excuses to avoid it.

 Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Chapter 333 Foundation Establishment Perfection _2

    Chapter 472: Chapter 333 Foundation Establishment Perfection _2


    It wasn¡¯t a lack of time, but the critical moments of seclusion, or the moments when crafting artifacts or refining pills made leaving impossible.


    After finding no other choices, the organization could only assign personnel.


    Among them, Yuan Hongyuan was the key powerhouse.


    ¡°Rest assured, the organization has arranged for you four other Foundation Establishment cultivators this time. Moreover, an ambush will be set up in advance with formations. As long as you can kill Chen Guixian, all the cultivation methods for the subsequent practice of the ¡®Black Cloud Mist Technique¡¯ till the mid-stage of Core Formation will be given to you.¡±


    After the condition was stated, Yuan Hongyuan still remained silent.


    He was thinking of a tactful way to decline.


    Although he yearned for the subsequent cultivation techniques, what Yuan Hongyuan wanted more was his own life and the preservation of his Yuan family at Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan himself would not be easily swayed. He knew that if he really faced Chen Mobai, he would probably be defeated in a single sword strike by the latter.


    He felt that the wisest decision he made in his life was to abandon the plunder at that time.


    Otherwise, he would probably have been a corpse four years ago.


    Given that it concerned his own life and the lives of his entire clan, Yuan Hongyuan gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.


    ¡°Well, actually¡­¡±


    ¡°I know that Chen Guixian is extremely formidable. Even if you break through, you do not have complete confidence. However, the organization has taken your predicament into consideration and specially allowed me to bring you a Huangquan Holy Fruit.¡±


    ¡°Huangquan Holy Fruit!? Is it a medium fruit?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was about to lay his cards on the table, froze upon hearing this. The words that were about to come rushing out of his mouth were swallowed back.


    ¡°That¡¯s correct, the Huangquan Holy Fruit given to you by the organization is naturally taking into consideration that it would be most effective once you¡¯ve broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The organization they belonged to was known as ¡°Huangquan¡±. Aside from Foundation Building Pills, the Huangquan Holy Fruit was what attracted loose cultivators the most.


    This holy fruit came in three grades: small, medium, and large, which after consumption could directly cause a breakthrough in one¡¯s cultivation realm.


    Yuan Hongyuan was currently at mid Foundation Establishment. If he took the Huangquan Holy Fruit that was of medium grade, he could directly break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, saving a hundred years of Qi cultivation practice.


    Therefore, upon hearing that he could actually obtain such a spiritual object, Yuan Hongyuan immediately retracted his idea of backing down.


    Additionally, a long-slumbering ambition deep within his heart slowly began to revive.


    After consuming the holy fruit, he would be at late Foundation Establishment stage. With a lifespan of a hundred years to come, was there not a glimmer of hope for Core Formation?


    Yuan Hongyuan, who had previously intended to lie low and protect his family¡¯s legacy, suddenly felt that he might not hesitate to take a gamble.


    ¡°The organization treated me as if I am owing it a great debt of gratitude. It was thanks to the support of the organization that I was able to establish my family on Black Cloud Mountain. Now that there is such a difficult task at hand, I naturally shall spare no consideration of my own safety.¡±


    As he reached here, Yuan Hongyuan began to put on an act again. He stroked his black beard, his face full of confidence.


    ¡°Once my cultivation has reached its peak, that evenly-matched battle four years ago can finally be decided in a life-or-death showdown.¡±


    The Huangquan¡¯s contact person listened to this and nodded in satisfaction. He then took out a sealed box from his storage bag and handed it to Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°Peacefully cultivate, await my command.¡±


    With that, the person transformed into a spiritual light and disappeared into Black Cloud Mountain.


    After listening to the taboos concerning the consumption of Huangquan Holy Fruit, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face changed slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation.


    ¡­


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes. His bright and clear vision shimmered like two sharp swords, cutting open the surrounding clouds and mists.


    He raised his right hand. Five fingers gently clenched, the fingertips flashing with green bright thunder light, condensing into a thunder light glow in his palm.


    As Chen Mobai raised his hand, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, like a green light pillar, pierced through all the fog at the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Looking from afar, it was as if a giant light tree connecting heaven and earth had sprouted from the top of the mountain. It swept through the colorful misty clouds, shattered the thick clouds into steam, yet suppressed all the snow and ice flowers. All atmospheric phenomena dissipated into smoke around the green thunder light tree.


    The power of this Yi Wood Divine Thunder had surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s usual Purple Fire Sword Light and even faintly exhibited the might of a Rank-3.


    Is this the power of a technique deployed after reaching Perfect Foundation Establishment?


    Indeed, the realm forms the basis of everything.


    After feeling this, Chen Mobai revealed a satisfied smile.


    He clenched his right hand into a fist, wanting to withdraw this Yi Wood Divine Thunder, but found it somewhat difficult to control.


    Inout of no other choice, he slowly dissipated the power of this spell, and it took about half a moment before the green bright thunder light in his palm obediently shrank back, like flowing water, it returned to the Qi Sea of his Dantian through his fingertips.


    He closed his eyes again and carefully felt the 180 drops of liquid Longevity Spiritual Power that filled the Qi Sea in his Dantian. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but curl his mouth into a grin and burst out laughing.


    After downgrading a large fruit with the help of the magical artifact equipment in the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai wasted no time and immediately packed everything and returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Having had the experience of taking the Longevity Tree Fruit for the first time, the energy of the second fruit was even more surging and torrential, but he still controlled the balance very well.


    However, when he took the last large fruit, Chen Mobai felt his power inadequate.


    After all, his Divine Sense realm is only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment, controlling the power of the late Foundation Establishment was indeed hard work.


    Fortunately, he had anticipated such a situation, having simulated it in advance with the No-Phase puppet.


    Therefore, he used his life¡¯s magical artifact, Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, as a transfer point in his Dantian Qi Sea. It took nearly two months to gradually refine the energy of the tree fruit, and finally today he cultivated the Longevity Immortality Scripture to the fourteenth realm.


    That is, Perfection of Foundation Establishment, 180 drops of liquid spiritual power.


    This seemed to be the limit of this cultivation technique, and even the abundant Innate Yuan Qi of Chen Mobai could not exceed it.


    But for him, this was enough.


    After all, it saved a hundred years of painstaking cultivation.


    Next, he just needed to concentrate on the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Once the Pure Yang Scroll reached the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he could attempt Core Formation.


    Speaking of which, it seemed that he could also start preparing to obtain the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    The Immortal School had too many rules and regulations, but it was not the same in the Tianhe Realm. As long as there were enough Spirit Stones, it was basically possible to gather one or two.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, there is the ¡°Void Rushing Immortal Ganoderma.¡± Meng Hong had cut a piece to eat raw when forming his core.


    If he wanted to form his core, and applied, the two elders should be willing to give it to him.


    But what Chen Mobai wanted was more, he wanted to collect a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill materials in the Tianhe Realm. If that¡¯s not possible, then both Wood Element Gold Core and Fire Element Gold Core are also acceptable.


    In the past, he felt that Core Formation was still far from him, and he was not yet accomplished in the realm, so Chen Mobai only thought about it in his mind and did not put it into action.


    But now, he could give it a try.


    However, before that, there was one more thing to do.


    Chen Mobai took out a Message Talisman and called for the two disciples below the mountain to come up.


    In no time, Zhang Ming and Luo Yixuan walked through the Cloud Mist Array and arrived.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the look of surprise in their eyes and thought of something. He stroked his hair and saw that it had lost all of its lustre. He pulled out a strand, and the roots were already all white.


    He took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and saw that he looked much older, and that there were faint wrinkles on his forehead.


    Moreover, all the new hair growing from the roots was already all white. Only the part that was dyed two months ago was still black, which showed that the dye used by the hair salon was fine, and the colour didn¡¯t fade.


    ¡°Your master has been practicing a forbidden technique in seclusion. You must keep secret about what you see during this period.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    ¡°Ming, go to Small Yang Ridge and bring back all those ordinary people and Qi Cultivation disciples of the sect. The batches of Spirit Rice at the foot of the mountain are about to mature, and you can¡¯t handle it alone.¡±

    Zhao Ming received the order and left immediately.


    Luo Yixuan stood obediently in the same place, not asking why he hadn¡¯t sent her. She was the one who had originally moved those people from Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, your master remembers that you have a secret technique to hide your cultivation level.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai spoke, Luo Yixuan swiftly took out a small booklet from her storage bag and respectfully handed it to him.


    ¡°Master, this is the ¡®Returning Essence Secret Technique¡¯ that I accidentally obtained at the Yun Country Fang Market.¡±

 Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_1

    Chapter 473: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_1


    Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness tend to be mature and independent at an early age.


    Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, Luo Yixuan spent some time in her family¡¯s shop in the Fang Market, which was a bookstore. The store primarily sold books on the customs, catches, introduction to various cultivation powers in the immortal cultivation world, as well as a small amount of mainstream cultivation techniques, hundred arts of immortal cultivation, and techniques.


    This Returning Essence Secret Technique was brought in by a destitute loose cultivator who wanted to exchange it for some spirit stones.


    Luo Yixuan happened to be on duty at that time. After reading it, she found it good, so she purchased it with the five spirit stones she had privately saved. She made the destitute loose cultivator take a vow not to sell it to anyone else.


    Since she was the only one in the store at that time, Luo Yixuan kept the booklet of the Returning Essence Secret Technique and cultivated it in secret.


    Chen Mobai found this secret technique rather interesting.


    Initially, Luo Yixuan concealed her cultivation level, and all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had contact with her did not see through it.


    Chen Mobai, due to the achievement of his Void Spirit Eye, just happened to feel that Luo Yixuan¡¯s use of spells during the competition was strange and out of sync. After careful observation, he saw through her.


    After finishing reading the booklet, he discovered that there were three layers to the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    The first layer was Luo Yixuan¡¯s level, concealing one¡¯s own spiritual energy fluctuations, revealing cultivation level that could mislead others.


    However, if one encounters cultivators with spirit eyes or are extremely mindful with powerful divine sense, they can still see through the disguise and perceive the real cultivation level.


    The second layer, however, was different. It involved leaving only the amount of spiritual power in one¡¯s dantian and Qi Sea that corresponds to the cultivation realm one wants to reveal. The rest of the excess spiritual power is hidden in one¡¯s own magic artifacts.


    In this way, unless one exposes oneself or one encounters those with special secret techniques that can sense cultivation realms, no one can see through it.


    The final third layer was a bit mysterious.


    It spoke of hiding the spiritual power one did not want to reveal in the heaven and earth outside of one¡¯s body. In this way, no one can see through it, but to accomplish this layer, one first needs to establish a small void.


    It¡¯s like carrying a spiritual power pool with you, drawing it out and returning it to the dantian and Qi Sea when you need it, and hiding it in the small void when you don¡¯t.


    [This is very similar to the JinDan Domain in the Immortal Sect.]


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Sect have a significant achievement of refining their own small space.


    This small space can be used for storage, fighting, and even dwelling.


    The reason for this Golden Core Domain is said to be because during the earliest period of the boundary war, Di Yuan Star was connected to a different world. However, the living environment there was completely different from that of the ordinary spiritual world, and the spiritual energy contained in the void was deadly poison for the cultivators.


    As a result, when the doors in between the two realms were opened, the powerful forces of the Different World could brazenly enter Di Yuan Star; however, the cultivators of the Immortal Sect could only guard their homeland, which was very passive.


    Therefore, while resisting the intrusion of the Different World, the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect gathered all the top talents to study how to solve this problem.


    The power of the collective is strong, and soon, ¡°Domain¡± was studied and discovered.


    By refining a small space, cultivators could set the air and environment in this domain to their advantage. It could also be used to store items and magic artifacts. Then they could wrap themselves in the domain to isolate the deadly poison of the Different World.


    However, not everyone could refine the Domain. It required strong spiritual power to open it and then enough divine sense to control it.


    Moreover, it must be in a void environment because the void is the purest there and easier to open. It also required the assistance of the highest inheritance treasure of the Immortal Sect, the ¡°Domain Door.¡±


    Generally, only Golden Core cultivators can open a Domain.


    That¡¯s why people in the Immortal Sect call it the ¡°Golden Core Domain¡±.


    Of course, there are also occasional rare exceptions. Some can establish a Domain before core formation.


    Such a person is one in a million and truly an exceptional genius.


    In this generation in the Immortal Sect, there were only two.


    One was Lan Haitian, and the other was Yan Bingxuan¡¯s aunt.


    However, because Lan Haitian was the face of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and due to his numerous achievements, and having never tasted defeat since his debut, his reputation is greater. Therefore, he is hailed as the first Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Sect.


    And Yan Qiongzhi is more low-key, so her fame is not as prominent, but those in the high ranks of the Immortal Sect know her.


    However, unlike Lan Haitian, who has served as a cultivator for the Immortal Sect toiling away for sixty years and now has a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, Yan Qiongzhi has always been at the Nature Studies Academy. Therefore, she could only obtain a Water Element Gold Core Pill.


    If she were to form the core, there might be risks.


    Chen Mobai thought of this after finishing reading the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Golden Core cultivators in the Tianhe Realm don¡¯t have this kind of Domain.


    Therefore, when he saw the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique, which seemed to have the same goal by a different route, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Indeed, the thoughts of geniuses are similar. The cultivator in the Tianhe Realm who created this secret technique was extraordinary.


    It¡¯s just a pity that the small book is so vague about the cultivation method of the third layer. It only talks about the situation after practicing it.


    Chen Mobai was once again infuriated by the way knowledge was passed down in the Tianhe Realm. The person who created this secret technique must have been able to practice the third layer and even wrote it down. Hence, there must be a unique method of cultivation, but it is not written down.

 Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_2

    Chapter 474: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_2


    How to practice? Figure it out yourself!


    ¡°Xuan, could you find out the origin of this Returning Essence Secret Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked his young disciple, Luo Yixuan, who nodded and shared her speculation.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation. Although now it¡¯s in decline, it had produced Golden Core cultivators a thousand years ago. I suspect this secret technique might have originated from them.¡±


    Ming Nation, among the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, is under the jurisdiction of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°If you have time, gather some information about this Guiyuan Sect.¡±


    After instructing Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai dismissed her.


    He was about to start practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    Initially, he only wanted to learn it for reference. Because cultivators from the immortal world highly value their privacy, they do not practice spells that could hide their cultivation levels.


    This kind of cultivation technique for hiding cultivation level is rare because they don¡¯t usually worry about it.


    On the contrary, in the Tianhe Realm, those who can, often practice such a spell, using it as a mean of fishing and counter-fishing.


    So there are many such spells; the Divine Wood Sect itself has collected several.


    Unexpectedly, this Returning Essence Secret Technique brought by Luo Yixuan is excellent and very suitable for Chen Mobai.


    Although he is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he possesses a magic artifact tied to his life.


    He could hide the Longevity Spiritual Power within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.


    With his current realm, practicing such a secret technique is easy as pie.


    After ten days, he, who has been taking Longevity Elixirs while practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique, quickly mastered the first layer.


    However, just as he was preparing to smoothly master the second layer, he ran into a minor obstacle.


    The Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror is fire-attributed, it finds the wood-attributed spiritual power delicious. After the liquid Longevity Spiritual Power was injected, there was an instinctive eager reaction, as if it wanted to consume it.


    After employing the bodiless doll for deduction and trial-and-error, Chen Mobai found a solution. Using his divine sense to suppress the fluctuations of the magic artifact, he wrapped the Longevity Spiritual Power with it, similar to a domain, and then hid it within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.


    Luckily, as all these powers belonged to him, only a tiny bit of his divine sense was needed for this operation.


    With his current divine sense, he could maintain this for two to three months.


    But such long-term depletion is not ideal; he pondered if he could have another wood or water-attributed magic artifact tied to his life.


    Generally, only Golden Core cultivators could create life-bound magic artifacts, referred to as ¡°Legal Treasures¡± in the Tianhe Realm.


    Of course, there are some special methods to attain this.


    The Immortal Sect side has a series of artifact cultivation techniques derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    In Tianhe Realm, while Chen Mobai was choosing cultivation techniques for Zhuo Ming, he had come across the ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree¡±, the spell used to cultivate ¡®Overturning Stamp¡¯, which counts as a magic artifact tied to one¡¯s life.


    However, Tianhe Realm¡¯s artifact cultivation techniques are slightly different from those of the Immortal Sect.


    While the Immortal Sect¡¯s ¡°The Union of Differences¡± line advocates using artifacts to cultivate people, the Tianhe Realm, due to the value of magic artifacts, practices people cultivating artifacts. This method has a reputation for being wasteful, forcing cultivators to nurture their magic artifacts¡¯ progression while also advancing their own cultivation. It could become extraordinarily troublesome.


    However, Chen Mobai isn¡¯t worried about wastage. As his status within the Divine Wood Sect continues to rise, resources like Spirit Stones are increasingly accessible. Now that he¡¯s fully accomplished at the Foundation Establishment level with the Immortality Cultivation Technique, he could afford to cultivate another life-bound magic artifact.


    But it¡¯s a decision for another day.


    As a life-bound magic artifact is of grave importance, if its embryo is not chosen carefully in the beginning, and it could only reach a low rank due to the initial limitations of the materials, it would have been better not to cultivate it.


    Hence, the cultivation technique for magic artifacts in Tianhe Realm puts significant importance on leaving enough room for growth while creating the magic artifact¡¯s embryo.


    It shouldn¡¯t say Rank-4, Rank-5, but at least it should ensure the capability of upgrading to Rank-3.


    But Chen Mobai, who believes he has a bright future, thought that Rank-3 might not be his limit.


    But he¡¯s not too demanding either, he just wants a magical treasure embryo that can be upgraded to Rank-4.


    Of course, if one could reach a higher rank, that would be better.


    After another ten-day period and ingesting all the Longevity Elixirs, Chen Mobai finally stores 130 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power into the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and officially announces the end of his reclusive training.


    He stands atop the mountain, full of vigor and enthusiasm, overlooking the bustling Xiao Nanshan below.


    As it¡¯s already autumn, Zhuo Ming has started leading ordinary people and low-level Qi Cultivation disciples in the harvest of various types of Spirit Rice. Not only is Luo Yixuan helping, but even Liu Wenbo, who is recuperating his elemental energy, is present.


    Everyone in Xiao Nanshan knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s importance he places on farming. Every time the Spirit Rice was harvested, as long as he wasn¡¯t in reclusive training, he would personally partake in it.


    So, in the past few years, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming have never missed this Spirit Rice harvest season. Even Luo Yixuan, who is quite shrewd, quickly picked up on this after becoming a disciple and has been present every time.


    Witnessing this scene from atop the mountain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel greatly satisfied.


    At least he has influenced those around him to appreciate agriculture, and his talent for farming was not wasted in this world.


    After going back to his immortal abode to dye his hair again, Chen Mobai descends the mountain.


    ¡°Wen Bo, if your elemental energy hasn¡¯t fully recovered, you don¡¯t need to come over for the harvest.¡±


    After Chen Mobai descended the mountain, the three disciples came to greet him without delay.


    ¡°As a disciple, I tend to grow sluggish after long periods of secluded training. I thought this would be a good time to be active.¡±


    Liu Wenbo replied respectfully. His complexion had returned to its usual rosiness, but Chen Mobai sensed that his vitality and cultivation realm had not yet fully recovered.


    ¡°Ha ha, that¡¯s fine. The four of us haven¡¯t gathered together for quite a while. Today after the harvest, let¡¯s all go to the mountain to keep me company over a drink.¡±


    Over the years, Chen Mobai has increasingly embodied the poise of a master.


    Laughing heartily after he finishes speaking, he walks over to a field of golden rice. He picks a heavy bundle of rice stalks and, with a face full of satisfaction, plucks a grain of Spirit Rice.


    Feeling the abundant elemental energy within the full grain, he knows it¡¯s another good harvest this year.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, you did a good job.¡±


    Chen Mobai compliments Zhuo Ming, which makes her a bit bashful and blushes, but she doesn¡¯t forget to be modest.


    ¡°Big brother and little sister also helped a lot. If they hadn¡¯t summoned the rain, we wouldn¡¯t have this great yield.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan immediately refused the credit, saying that they merely made a slight contribution, and that Zhuo Ming was the one who really worked hard.


    ¡°Very well, seeing you three have such a good relationship makes me very happy.¡±


    Chen Mobai shakes the bundle of rice stalks in his hand with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, an invisible Sword Qi whips out, sweeping across the Spirit Field in front of him.


    The Sword Qi precisely avoids all living creatures, only cutting the rice stalks.


    With his help, the harvest of all the Spirit Fields is quickly completed. However, the subsequent processes of collecting, hulling, storing, and even brewing need to be done manually.


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t do everything by himself and leaves the arrangement to Zhuo Ming.


    In the evening, the four disciples enjoy drinks and merriment on the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Even the always modest Liu Wenbo gets drunk and ends up collapsing onto the table and falling asleep.


    A rosy flush covers Luo Yixuan¡¯s delicate and exquisite face, making her beautiful eyes even more bewitching. She suddenly transforms from a reserved lady of nobility into a charming young girl, radiating charm.


    Apparently, the new wine is strong. Luo Yixuan stood up, bit her luscious lips, and walked towards Chen Mobai intending to propose a toast, but suddenly her eyes glazed over and she fell.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, I never expected you to hold your liquor the best.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai stretches out his hand to catch his young disciple, turns his head, and sees that Zhuo Ming¡¯s cheeks are slightly flushed, but her eyes remain clear.


    ¡°Master, let me handle it.¡±


    Normally seated behind her own table, Zhuo Ming quickly gets up upon seeing Luo Yixuan¡¯s drunken state and comes over to take Luo Yixuan from Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s call it a night. Take Yixuan down with you. Wen Bo can stay and rest on the mountain tonight.¡±


    The more Chen Mobai looks at Zhuo Ming, the more he feels she¡¯s suited to inherit his mantle. He smiles and praises her a few times.

 Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Chapter 335: Secret_1

    Chapter 475: Chapter 335: Secret_1


    After the harvest, Yan Jinye, accompanied by a group of disciples from the alchemy division, paid a visit.


    Over the past two years, her reputation skyrocketed within Divine Wood Sect, all thanks to the elixir recipe she acquired from Chen Mobai.


    For an alchemist, a strong start would launch them into a virtuous cycle.


    After experimenting with over a dozen batches of medicinal herbs, Yan Jinye finally discovered the knack and produced mature pills.


    Given the Tianhe Realm¡¯s indifferent attitude towards elixir toxicity, the pills Yan Jinye had refined, aimed at increasing one¡¯s cultivation level, quickly promoted throughout the Divine Wood Sect via the alchemy division.


    The elixir formulas of immortal cultivation sects, perfected through countless modifications and clinical tests, were undoubtedly far superior to common elixirs available in the market, showing an effectiveness around 20-30% higher.


    Every batch of elixirs refined by Yan Jinye was promptly sold out.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior sister. You¡¯re now known as the top female alchemist in our sect. I heard that Director Zeng is considering retiring and letting you take over his position,¡± Chen Mobai said cheerfully on the top of Xiao Nanshan, pouring Yan Jinye a cup of white wine.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t that easy. I do not have the experience of guarding four nations as he does. Besides, my master has been devoting to refining two batches of Foundation Building Pills for years, which has taken a lot of his cultivation time. He¡¯s complaining about it to the new sect leader currently,¡± Yan Jinye shook her head, explaining the situation. At this moment, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan also arrived.


    Zhuo Ming was there to take the alchemy division disciples, brought by Yan Jinye, to brew medicinal wine. Being already familiar with her, the two leaders didn¡¯t need to say much. After seeing her, they took leave from Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye immediately.


    Luo Yixuan stayed to serve by the side, mainly to help pour wine.


    ¡°Indeed, refining a batch of Foundation Building Pills requires a whole year of devotion. Director Zeng has worked hard indeed,¡± Chen Mobai understood it as he had previously heard the differences between the orthodox and demonic beast Foundation Building Pills, their only commonalities being the required steps and various medicinal herbs. Zeng Woyou lost at least two years of cultivation time due to alchemy.


    Chu Zuoshu had just assumed office. His prestige wasn¡¯t as high as Meng Hong¡¯s yet. It was no wonder that Zeng Woyou took this opportunity to strike.


    ¡°Actually, my master isn¡¯t really considering retirement. He¡¯s negotiating terms with the new sect leader. He wants to refine the orthodox Foundation Building Pills,¡± once they were alone after Zhuo Ming had taken the miscellaneous disciples down the mountain, Yan Jinye naturally revealed Zeng Woyou¡¯s real plan.


    Luo Yixuan, standing beside them, was slightly surprised to hear this news.


    ¡°Huh, weren¡¯t all previous batches handed over to the Back to Sky Valley for refining?¡±


    The medicinal fields of Divine Wood Sect could harvest ten Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, essential for refining Foundation Building Pills, every decade. Subtracting the three provided to Golden Cliff, the remaining seven, along with other supplementary medicines, would be assigned to Back to Sky Valley for processing.


    As the top alchemy faction in the Eastern Wilderness, Back to Sky Valley could guarantee five or six successful pills per batch.


    Even if Back to Sky Valley took one pill per batch as refinement expenses, Divine Wood Sect could still ensure approximately 30 Foundation Building Pills fell into their hands.


    These pills would be provided first to the descendants of Foundation Establishment cultivators who died in battle for the sect or to cultivating families that contributed to Divine Wood Sect.


    For instance, in the recent war against Mountain Shaker Peak, Bao from Lei Nation died in battle. Chu Zuoshu promised a compensation of one Foundation Building Pill.


    This related to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reputation. Even if it meant not providing it to sect disciples, that pill must be personally handed to Bao Qiyuan, the successor of Bao family.


    Besides Bao Qiyuan¡¯s pill, Chu Zuoshu also promised Lian Chenghai and other three major cultivating families in Lei Nation that they could purchase a Foundation Building Pill from Divine Wood Sect anytime. If they demanded after this batch was manufactured, they would certainly receive priority.


    After all, it was about the new sect leader¡¯s reputation.


    Five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect died in the recent war against Mountain Shaker Peak. The five-pill expense must be considered to boost morale.


    Therefore, it was highly probable that not all True Disciples could exchange a Foundation Building Pill this time when Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms ripened.


    Those ranked at the bottom could potentially miss out if their luck wasn¡¯t favorable, and might have to wait for the next batch.


    ¡°With the advancement in age, master isn¡¯t hoping for any breakthrough in his cultivation level now. He¡¯s mainly thinking about refining different types of pills. Having refined four batches of Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pills already, he feels he has grasped the skills to refine Foundation Building Pills and wants to try an orthodox batch,¡± Yan Jinye explained. After listening, Chen Mobai nodded intuitively.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°What¡¯s the sect leader¡¯s opinion on this?¡±


    ¡°No response yet, which is why master is a bit upset. He proposed that since he¡¯s getting old, he wants to retreat and focus on understanding the path to form a Gold Core, along with the previous Sect Leader. The rumour that I was taking over his position as the head of the alchemy division spread from there,¡± Yan Jinye revealed the truth about the situation after which Chen Mobai subtly shook his head.


    Having just assumed the role of Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu got into a slightly irretrievable situation because of Zeng Woyou¡¯s actions.


    ¡°Senior brother, the sect leader certainly won¡¯t back down, and my master finds it hard to back off after saying those words. Looks like we need someone to mediate between the two,¡± Yan Jinye suddenly said something that surprised Chen Mobai while he was pondering.


    Luo Yixuan, on the side, also picked up the implications in Yan Jinye¡¯s words and looked up in surprise.

 Chapter 476 - Chapter 476: Chapter 335: Secret_2

    Chapter 476: Chapter 335: Secret_2


    ¡°Junior Sister, even though I used to be under the Sect Leader, I am still a part of the Reward Virtue Hall. Without the Sect Leader¡¯s summons, it would not be appropriate for me to ask him for an audience.¡±


    After all, he is a sword cultivator known for his aloof personality.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I have no choice. The former Sect Leader has closed himself off, and the Master is unwilling to find someone he is familiar with to negotiate with the Sect Leader. As his disciple, I am the one who has to worry about this.¡±


    Yan Jinye said ruefully. With neither Chu Zuoshu nor Zeng Woyou willing to back down, she came to Chen Mobai for help under Lu Yi¡¯s guidance from the Transmission Department, using the brewing process as an excuse.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Senior Brother Yue is still in Lei Nation as a substitute Town Guard. Otherwise, he would be the best candidate.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of Yue Zutao. As Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciple, even though his cultivation realm was locked in by the Tree Fruit, he had always been Chu Zuoshu¡¯s closest disciple and most trusted aide.


    ¡°Have you tried reaching out to Senior Brother Sun from the Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    Sun Gaochang was also Chu Zuoshu¡¯s person, and Chen Mobai felt that he was more qualified for this task.


    ¡°Inspector Sun met me, but he hinted that it would be best if my Master took the initiative to apologize.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face revealed understanding. Sun Gaochang had clearly made his alliance apparent ¨C he was on the new Sect Leader¡¯s side.


    ¡°Minister Zeng gave me a hand before. I can try testing the waters at the Sect Leader¡¯s place, but I will not make things difficult for him. You should be prepared for this.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Jinye nodded in understanding.


    ¡°I will also go back and persuade the Master again. Senior Brother, this is a small token of appreciation.¡±


    Before she left, Yan Jinye handed him a jade box.


    When Chen Mobai opened it, he saw three ripe Bamboo Fruits.


    ¡°Junior Sister is thoughtful, however, since the matter is not yet resolved, it would be inappropriate for me to accept such a reward. Consider these Bamboo Fruits as something I¡¯ve purchased.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out a thousand Spirit Stones from his storage bag, but Yan Jinye shook her head and did not accept them.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I initially wanted to give you some pills that enhance cultivation, but I just finished repaying my Master¡¯s Spirit Stones this year. I also spent a lot on materials to practice new alchemy formulas, hence I traded all the pills I refined for Spirit Stones to pay off my debt. Next year, when I finish refining the batch of Beneficial Yuan Pills, I will thank you again.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head even faster. He wasn¡¯t interested in these pills.


    ¡°Well, for now, I will accept it. By the way, Junior Sister, when Xuan became my disciple, the Luo family gave me a Camelweed. How can this Rank-3 medicinal herb be used most effectively?¡±


    Although the Rank-3 medicinal herb was well preserved, Chen Mobai was worried that its efficacy would diminish over time.


    He hadn¡¯t had the time before, but now that he had completed the Foundation Establishment of the Immortality Scripture, he had time to deal with it.


    ¡°If it¡¯s just one plant, you can grind it with some adjuvant herbs into a paste to strengthen certain parts of the body. I heard that some Senior Brothers from the Sword Training Department use it to enhance the flexibility and strength of their fingers. The Symbolization Department apparently has a recipe to make a very vivid red ink with this herb.¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai had some inappropriate thoughts after hearing this, which made Luo Yixuan blush and lower her gaze.


    ¡°I see, it is mainly used for Body Forging.¡±


    [It¡¯s not much different from the Immortal Sect methods.]


    The Immortal Sect¡¯s Camelweed is known as the Ancient Duduo Lotus. Chen Mobai had asked Qing Nu about it before. It could be used to refine pills that improve stamina, vitality, and physical strength.


    After Yan Jinye left, Chen Mobai finished the wine in his hand. Just as he was about to leave to visit the new Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu, Luo Yixuan suddenly refilled his empty cup of wine.


    ¡°Master, judging from Uncle Yan¡¯s words, to secure the Foundation Building Pill this time, it seems necessary to enter the top twenty of the real transmission,¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s small face looked worried, and Chen Mobai naturally started to give advice without noticing his disciple¡¯s concern.


    ¡°You have already reached the perfection of Qi Cultivation rank nine. As long as your experience in Magic Duel is sufficient, there¡¯s no problem entering the top ten. Well, there are six years left. Whenever I¡¯m free, you can come to the mountain, and I¡¯ll teach you some techniques of the Magic Duel.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately changed her worries into happiness. Her bright eyes were suddenly shining, just like a sunny day after rain.


    ¡°When you come up, bring Wen Bo and Zhuo Ming along. This way, I can teach the three of you at the same time.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s following words greatly diminished Luo Yixuan¡¯s joy.


    After Chen Mobai, driving the Red Misty Cloud Silk, disappeared into the sky, Luo Yixuan, somewhat displeased, stomped her foot and raised the jug in her hand directly to her red lips, emptying it with a ¡°gulp-gulp¡±.


    After drinking, she wiped the wine stains at the corner of her mouth. Her white, chubby cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were crystal clear. Her mouth slightly pouted, as if reproaching herself for being too clever for her own good.


    ¡­


    ¡°Your family makes really good wine.¡±


    In a side hall of Shenmu Hall, Chu Zuoshu, with a tired face, let out a long sigh of relief after finishing the clear wine Cheng Mobai brought.


    ¡°If Sect Leader wants to drink in the future, just give a heads up. I¡¯ll have a disciple bring it.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt as if his wine shop mirrored an Immortal Cultivation teashop. Due to the hybrid Spirit Rice varieties, each type of Spirit Rice Brew varied in taste depending on the weather and medicinal materials used. So, every time a new wine was introduced, it felt like opening a mysterious box.


    Whenever he brought new wine to others, it was basically a new flavor. This novelty was appealing to those like Chu Zuoshu in the Eastern Wilderness, who were used to just a few tastes of mild yellow wine.


    However, among Qi Cultivation disciples, the most popular was the classic one that enhanced Cultivation Level and Divine Sense.


    ¡°I see, I understand brother Zeng¡¯s concern. Foundation Building Pill is one of the lifebloods of the sect, and it¡¯s best to keep it in our own hands.¡±


    After hearing the reason why Chen Mobai came to him, Chu Zuoshu sighed and voiced another reason, not the most honorable one.


    ¡°Being an Alchemist is the richest among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, and over the years, Back to Sky Valley has relied on alchemy and the cultivation of rank-3 Spirit Rice to accumulate spirit stones and wealth. If all these are used to enhance the overall power of Back to Sky Valley, even the biggest Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness may not necessarily surpass them.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, our Divine Wood Sect gives Foundation Building Pill and other elixirs to Back to Sky Valley to refine. Besides their high success rate, we also aim to impede Yan Shaoyin and others¡¯ cultivation by involving them in alchemy.¡±


    ¡°This was actually the policy of the Five Elements Sect back then. At that time, the Hun Yuan Ancient Ancestor was there, so we forcefully allocated the task of refining the Foundation Building Pill to Back to Sky Valley, and made them guarantee six Pills per batch. If not, Back to Sky Valley would have to compensate. This was done to pressure Yan Shaoyin, the best alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness in the last two centuries, into alchemy himself, so that his potential for further advancement would be hindered.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t treat Chen Mobai as an outsider, disclosing the real reason for letting Back to Sky Valley make the alchemy.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire the blatant law of survival of the fittest in the Immortal Cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm. It was impressive that Yan Shaoyin could put up with such conditions.

    ¡°In that case, why is Back to Sky Valley still willing to refine the Foundation Building Pills for our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu gave a cold laugh and disclosed another secret.


    ¡°This was something Yan Shaoyin himself promised the Hun Yuan Ancient Ancestor. Although our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff have separated from the Five Elements Sect, we still maintain a tacit understanding on suppressing other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°After the Ancient Ancestor¡¯s demise, Yan Shaoyin wanted to tear up the treaty. Even joining forces with the Snow-blowing Palace, Liu Jia Mountain, Shake Mountain Peak, and even enlisted the support of the big business firm in Star Heaven. But, the five Core Formation real people of our Five Elements Sect fought them in five battles, with three wins and two losses.¡±


    ¡°However, since our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff have separated from the Five Elements Sect, and we no longer have the support of the Nascent Soul Ancient Ancestor. It¡¯s impossible to impose such stringent conditions on Yan Shaoyin anymore. So it turned into the current situation: the Foundation Building Pill is still refined by Back to Sky Valley, only guaranteeing at least five successful pills per batch.¡±

 Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: Chapter 336: In Front of the Dao Tree-1

    Chapter 477: Chapter 336: In Front of the Dao Tree-1


    ¡°Sect Leader, if we had asked Back to Sky Valley Alchemy to produce Foundation Establishment Pills before, truly it would have hindered Yan Shaoyin¡¯s cultivation. But now under these conditions, I¡¯m afraid it is probably of little consequence to him.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew Chu Zuoshu was receptive to advice, so he directly expressed his thoughts.


    When the Hun Yuan ancestor was alive, the Five Elements Sect demanded a harsh quota of Foundation Establishment Pills from Back to Sky Valley. Yan Shaoyin had to personally handle this, but now there are no more Nascent Soul Cultivators and the conditions have become much looser, so they can even use the materials they provide to nurture their own disciples.


    ¡°Indeed, since we split from the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley in just a few decades, has nurtured two Rank-3 Alchemists. If this continues, they might eventually surpass us.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chu Zuoshu brought out the Back to Sky Valley scroll and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head after reading it.


    ¡°However, suppressing Back to Sky Valley and agreeing to Zeng Woyou¡¯s request to concoct orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills are two different things. If I concede on this matter, in the future will I have to step back every time any one of the people from the three halls or twelve departments tries to pull this kind of stunt?¡±


    The reason is still the same. Compared to suppressing Back to Sky Valley, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s top priority is to establish his prestige.


    Though he had held the Reward Virtue Hall for decades, he did not have as many flourishing disciples as Meng Hong. He held the position of sect leader because there were no other suitable candidates.


    At this crucial moment, Zeng Woyou suddenly stepped forward to challenge Chu Zuoshu, which naturally did not sit well with him.


    ¡°We only have Elder Brother Zeng as a Rank-3 Alchemist in the sect now. He even has to handle many tasks such as refining the elixirs for the two ancestors¡¯ daily use. If matters were to drag on and the two ancestors were to inquire about it, it could be disadvantageous to you, Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai worded his thoughts very tactfully, but Chu Zuoshu understood and couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows.


    The reason the two ancestors chose him to be the successor was mainly for smooth transition. If Chu Zuoshu does well, he can accumulate contributions like Meng Hong, obtain Gold Core Spiritual Material with the power of the sect when the time is ripe, and then vacate his position for someone more capable.


    But if internal unrest were to occur from the start and disturb the two ancestors, even if he manages to resolve the issue later, his reputation in the Divine Wood Sect would probably take a significant hit.


    ¡°I can¡¯t possibly back down. If he¡¯s willing to admit his mistake publicly, I wouldn¡¯t mind giving him two furnace loads of orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills.¡±


    Upon hearing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai knew that the words he planned to say next should resonate well.


    ¡°For the sake of the Sect Leader¡¯s dignity, the Seven Furnace loads of orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills that our sect asked Back to Sky Valley to refine should not be given to Elder Brother Zeng. However, if we can find other materials for several furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills and give them to Elder Brother Zeng, I believe he would be more than willing to admit his mistake at the meeting of the three halls and twelve departments.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant, so he took a drink with a puzzled look on his face.


    ¡°Are you implying that we buy Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom and other medicinal materials in the name of the sect? Would that not be redundant, and I¡¯d actually be seen in an even worse light if we did that.¡±


    ¡°Sect Leader, don¡¯t we always have to give three Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to Golden Cliff in each batch?¡±


    Chen Mobai gently reminded him, Chu Zuoshu was taken aback at first, then his expression cleared.


    ¡°Would Golden Cliff agree to this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard Brother Sun Gaochang mention that whenever the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, the Spirit Plant Division always prepares enough auxiliary medicine for ten furnaces to refine Foundation Establishment Pills at the same time and sends them to Back to Sky Valley. We collect the Foundation Establishment Pill and then deliver it. So long as the quantity isn¡¯t off, even if they find out, they won¡¯t say anything.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff, being sibling sects, always back each other in a fight. Whenever one is in trouble, the other essentially responds.


    For instance, in the war against the Mountain Shaker Peak this time, if Mo Douguang hadn¡¯t intervened, the Divine Wood Sect might have really lost.


    Thus, even though the Divine Wood Sect only needs to give Golden Cliff three Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms every ten years, because the sword cultivators of Golden Cliff only know how to fight and aren¡¯t proficient in farming or alchemy, the Divine Wood Sect helps them with the preparation of auxiliary medicine.


    Of course, Golden cliff also gives Spirit Stones, but considering the good relationship between the two sects, their exchanges are essentially half trade, half gift.

    Chen Mobai¡¯s idea is to let Zeng Woyou refine the three furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills that were meant for Golden Cliff. Regardless of how many pills are successfully refined, they would make up for the shortfall in quantity.


    With these conditions, the latter would surely concede to Chu Zuoshu in the meeting.


    ¡°I understand your intention. However, we should first clear things up with Golden Cliff, as any trust can start to crumble from the smallest oversight. The disciples who are visiting Golden Cliff for exchange study will return next month. Jia Songyang, who is one of the twelve sword bearers of Golden Cliff and a pretty responsible individual, should be escorting them. I¡¯ll discuss this matter with him first.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai looked at Chu Zuoshu with renewed admiration. No wonder the two ancestors unanimously chose him as the sect leader. His management of interpersonal matters was certainly at an expert level.


    Then again, Chu Zuoshu also had similar thoughts about Chen Mobai, considering his understanding of human nature outstanding. The more Chu thought about it, he felt that this plan was extremely clever. It would not only enhance his prestige in the sect but also slowly liberate them from their reliance on Back to Sky Valley Alchemy.

 Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: Chapter 336: In Front of the Great Dao Tree_2

    Chapter 478: Chapter 336: In Front of the Great Dao Tree_2


    Suppressing the Back to Sky Valley was indeed the policy of the Five Elements Sect in the past, but after the death of the respected Hun Yuan, it was practically impossible to continue.


    The reason why the Divine Wood Sect still adheres to this practice is simply because when they initially branched out, they didn¡¯t have a Rank-3 alchemist, so they had to rely on the Back to Sky Valley for support.


    Now that the development of the sect has officially begun, instead of using alchemy to distract Yan Shaoyin¡¯s energy and cultivation, they should shift their focus to nurturing their own top-ranked alchemists.


    ¡°Golden Cliff doesn¡¯t have a Rank-3 alchemist, but compared to Back to Sky Valley, they would certainly trust our Divine Wood Sect more. By analyzing this matter thoroughly, I believe Brother Jia would also agree with the Sect Leader¡¯s views.¡±


    ¡°As long as we ensure that Golden Cliff can get more than twelve Foundation Building Pills, considering the relationship between our two sects, this matter is sure to succeed. Let me handle the following.¡±


    Having now addressed a long-standing concern, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s previously tired face brightened instantly.


    After having a couple of drinks with him, Chen Mobai also asked to take his leave.


    ¡°Junior Brother, there has been a suggestion for you to take up the position of Guard of Jian Country, what are your thoughts?¡±


    ¡°If the Sect needs me to go there, I will certainly not refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s main reason for visiting was due to this matter. Liluo Xue had mentioned it to him almost three to four months ago, but there had been no progress on it.


    The duty of the Town Guard would contribute to his future ascension to the upper echelons. The sooner it¡¯s decided, the better.


    But he didn¡¯t want to push the matter himself, after all, within the Divine Wood Sect, he held the reputation of a genius swordsman and needed to maintain an air of aloofness.


    So now, he conveniently used the matter of Zeng Woyou to remind Chu Zuoshu.


    As expected, Chu Zuoshu remembered.


    ¡°There was a proposition for this matter earlier, but it got shelved temporarily due to not receiving enough support. I will push for it again in a few days.¡±


    Although there was no definite promise in his words, Chen Mobai knew with certainty, that becoming the Guard of Jian Country should be a sure thing.


    After all, Chu Zuoshu was now the Sect Leader. If he truly wants to make something happen, there are not many who would overtly block his way.


    Two days after returning to Xiao Nanshan, Yan Jinye visited again.


    ¡°Senior Brother, Inspector Sun came looking for Master some last night. Today, Master apologized in person to the Sect Leader.¡±


    Although the matter of the three furnaces of Foundation Building Pills at Golden Cliff hadn¡¯t been confirmed yet, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s promise to Zeng Woyou was enough to guarantee the Sect¡¯s credibility.


    That¡¯s why, as soon as Zeng Woyou heard this proposal, he immediately complied without a second thought.


    However, considering that they don¡¯t have their hands on the materials needed for the Foundation Building Pills yet, Zeng Woyou didn¡¯t mention the matter to Yan Jinye. Chen Mobai, uncaring, explained the reason but also instructed her to keep it a secret and not spread it.


    ¡°Not only is Senior Brother extraordinarily talented, but he also has a thorough understanding of human interactions. It can be seen that his Sword Dao cultivation has reached the point where can act as he pleases and reach an enlightening state.¡±


    ¡°If possible, I just want to cultivate, but unfortunately in this world, if I didn¡¯t wield a sword, I wouldn¡¯t be able to keep my territory peaceful.¡±


    Chen Mobai said these words while pointing to Xiao Nanshan and the sixty acres of the Spirit Field at the bottom of the mountain.


    ¡°I am far from reaching Senior Brother¡¯s realm.¡±


    Having resolved matters with Zeng Woyou and Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai accepted the three Bamboo Fruits without any guilt.


    As the realm of his Divine Sense keeps climbing higher, this Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew has started to become less effective for him. This is happening because he used it to water the Divine Sense seed when he was dividing his mind into thoughts. If used directly on the main Divine Sense, it no longer improves his strength.


    Because of this, he has been using it mainly to enhance his Void Spirit Eye while focusing less on Divine Sense cultivation.


    However, after reaching perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Mobai felt that another body refining technique will improve himself.


    He previously used 23 drops of the Divine Tree juice to refine his skull. While using Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique for refinement, much of the life and spiritual energy were still hidden inside his bones. This energy will form a perfect cycle and gradually infiltrate the whole body¡¯s flesh and blood vessels after all of his bones are refined with this tree juice.


    Now, Chen Mobai could use the Longevity Sutra to stimulate the sleeping Divine Tree juice energy within his bones. This will improve his Void Spirit Eye, and even slowly help him form his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace.


    The thing to say here is that this technique and the Divine Tree juice originate from the same source. The Longevity Sutra naturally possesses the controlling power over the Divine Tree juice.


    His Void Spirit Eye showed signs of nearing completion.


    After sending Yan Jinye away, Chen Mobai finally received the Sect Leader¡¯s decree from Divine Wood Hall.


    He was asked to take over the position of Town Guard of Jian Country from Li¨² R¨³zh¨°ng next year.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai accepted it.


    Even though as the Town Guard of Jian Country he can slack off within the Giant Tree Ridge, he will initially need to inspect all six Fang Markets within the borders of Jian Country and the nine inferior medicine fields and fourteen other mineral-producing locations of the Divine Wood Sect.


    But, that is a matter for next year.


    After teaching his three disciples the Magic Duel, Chen Mobai announced that he had gained new enlightenment and needed to retreat for cultivation. He then again sealed off the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The offline exchange and discussion event of the Daoist Academy of the Immortal Sect were about to begin, he needed to first go there and confirm the representatives of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Yet, Chen Mobai did not directly return to Immortal Sect. Instead, he took a ¡°detour¡± and went to Divine Tree Secret Realm first.


    Now that he is at perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, he believed that he could reach the very end in front of the Divine Tree.


    The divine tree reached the sky.


    The grey-brown tree bark bore the traces of time, yet also possessed the depth of the transcendent blue sky and the heaviness of dominating the vast world, appearing majestically towering.

 Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: Chapter 336: Before the Dao Tree_3

    Chapter 479: Chapter 336: Before the Dao Tree_3


    Chen Mobai recalled the two occasions on which he had ventured before the grand Dao tree. The first time he had cunningly used the Asura Puppet, borrowing the power of this Rank-3 puppet, to reach the tenth step. This secured his unsurpassed reputation in the Magic Duel that spanned two realms and allowed him to obtain the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission.


    The second time was more spur-of-the-moment, using his own true power to test the boundaries.


    Regrettably, he only made it as far as the seventh step. Although it was a decent accomplishment, he felt somewhat humiliated, having squandered so many resources.


    Today, he once again stood before the grand Dao tree.


    When he stepped onto the seventh platform, although he felt pressure on his Divine Sense and physique, compared to the exhausting weariness he had previously felt, it now merely seemed like warm-up exertion after exercise, causing him to break out in a slight sweat.


    It was even somewhat comfortable.


    Thus, he took the eighth step.


    The faint humming sound in his ears caused a momentary blurring of his vision and an intensity threefold stronger attacked his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. Chen Mobai was forced to stop and digest the aftershock of this trial.


    Not only was his Divine Sense being attacked, but also the spiritual power within his Dantian Qi Sea and his bodily vigor were depleting simultaneously.


    Only at this moment did Chen Mobai understand that this longevity-seeking method is a comprehensive trial on a cultivator¡¯s spirit, vigor, and Divine Sense. However, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm, compared to Divine Sense, focus more on elevating their Spiritual Power Realm. Therefore during previous trials, they often display an inability to stand the pressure, losing consciousness each time.


    The capacity of a barrel is determined by its shortest stave.


    Since the Asura Puppet is a puppet, trials on its spiritual power and physical body prove ineffective. Only the Divine Sense Chen Mobai poured into it reached its limit, therefore he could only take ten steps.


    Compared to that time, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense has improved significantly. However, when it comes to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the Longevity and Immortality Sutra, it was still the weakest link.


    At this eighth step, he even felt a slight ringing in his ears.


    But this side effect was completely dismissible to him.


    He glanced at the grand Dao tree that was now within arm¡¯s length and took the ninth step.


    The impact on his Divine Sense was more terrifying than before, and he felt a faint sense of dizziness.


    However, it was still within his tolerance level.


    The tenth step.


    The instantaneous headache caused Chen Mobai to clench his teeth involuntarily, and the perfect Longevity Spiritual Power within the Dantian Qi Sea began to drain wildly.


    At this moment, the effect of refining the Longevity Tree Juice into his skull was revealed. A warm and gentle spiritual energy enveloped his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, which quickly helped him recover his senses.


    Then, he took the eleventh step!


    ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. The bloodstained palm caused him to furrow his brows, and the intense pain in his head was almost unbearable.


    If it were not for the continuous warmth flowing in his skull, soothing his Purple Mansion¡¯s Sea of Knowledge and easing the headache, he would have fainted by now.


    For this reason, he felt he hadn¡¯t yet reached his limit and could take one more step.


    Without hesitation, while the spiritual power of the longevity tree¡¯s juice had not yet been exhausted, Chen Mobai moved forward again, taking the twelfth step!


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    His vision was abruptly filled with crimson. He knew it was due to blood filling his eye sockets, or more accurately, from blood flowing from his seven openings.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon reaching this step, even with the protection of the spiritual power from the longevity tree¡¯s juice, he had reached his limit.


    So be it, he would try again next time.


    Just as Chen Mobai was turning around, a piece of green leaf floated down and landed on his forehead.


    The scene he had once experienced, commanding the Asura Puppet, was played out once again.


    [Twelve steps before the Dao tree, an excellent result. You are qualified to be the Saint Heir of my Longevity Sect.]

 Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_1

    Chapter 484: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_1


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, how should I practice the Sword Slaying Array?¡±


    Chen Mobai treats it as if nothing had happened, still humbly seeking guidance.


    ¡°Ahem, since you have mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting, you can also practice one or two techniques from the Sword Destruction Collection. It appears that you have chosen the Five Elements Sword Sha. This is simple, it¡¯s one of the two Sword Sha Large Formations we have experimented with and completed.¡±


    Due to the limited resources of the Immortal Sect, Zuo Gong and the Sword Cultivators from the Sword Dao Association had only managed to complete the practice of two¡ªTwo Rites Sword Devil and Five Elements Sword Sha.


    ¡°Watch carefully as I demonstrate.¡±


    As he spoke, Zuo Gong opened the palm of his right hand towards Chen Mobai. A silver Sword Seal in the shape of a droplet appeared, then under his control, using his Divine Sense, it transformed into a bright Sword Sha that flowed like mercury.


    As soon as this Sword Sha appeared, Chen Mobai felt the air around him become stagnant in an instant, making it difficult for him to breathe and move.


    Luckily, Zuo Gong was only giving a demonstration.


    After the Mercury Sword Killing, Zuo Gong rolled up his right sleeve to reveal a withered yellow leaf Sword Seal glowing at his wrist.


    This is the Wood Attribute Withered Glory Sword Killing, which can render any living creature it comes into contact with into desolation.


    After the Withered Glory, a Flame Sword Seal appeared on Zuo Gong¡¯s forearm.


    Then on his elbow, a Mountain Sword Seal.


    Finally, the Geng Metal Sword Demon, which Zuo Gong himself cultivates, was transformed into a sword-shaped seal on his upper arm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was working to its full capacity as he looked at Zuo Gong¡¯s right arm. He saw a stream of spiritual power, stronger and purer than all of his own combined Longevity Spiritual Power, flowing from the latter¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea. It ran like a thread along his meridian, linking the Five Elements Sword Sha in sequence, forming a perfect cycle of the Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°Since I cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Demon myself, if I want to unleash the power of the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation, I must start with Geng Metal, then proceed to evolve it following the sequence of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.¡±


    ¡°However, after one complete cycle of the five elements, you can adapt based on the spells and magic artifacts used by the opponent.¡±


    ¡°But having a fixed starting point could be a disadvantage in front of a powerful enemy. They could disrupt your Sword Slaughter Formation before it is fully deployed, eliminating all subsequent variations.¡±


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting is beneficial in this aspect, as the starting point isn¡¯t fixed, leaving no room for opponents to exploit.¡±


    When Zuo Gong got to this point, he sounded somewhat sentimental. The new generation surpasses the old. This was the first time he felt the weight of the word ¡°genius¡±.


    Every student admitted to Dance Tool Dao Academy was exceptional among the myriad creatures of the Immortal Sect. They were the cream of the crop, hence Zuo Gong was not particularly impressed with the term ¡®genius¡¯.


    Among all the students, only a select few could impress him.


    Zhongli Tianyu indeed did a good job by establishing the foundation before entering the Academy, but it was merely due to inheriting the magic artifacts from his ancestors. If others were as fortunate, they might not lag behind.


    Zhai Jianbai enlightened the Sword Dao and established the foundation upon hearing about it, becoming the first in the Sword Control Department in hundreds of years. But this only affirmed Zuo Gong¡¯s belief that Zhai would be a worthy successor.


    As for the Chen Mobai before him, Zuo Gong had originally thought it was just good luck.


    Although he got to the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission during his Foundation Establishment, his understanding of the sword was not as good as Zhai Jianbai¡¯s. Plus, being a disciple of Che Yucheng, after Zuo Gong taught Chen what he needed, he sent him off to graduate.


    He hadn¡¯t expected any further interaction with Chen, let alone such a pleasant surprise at their next meeting.


    Among the geniuses who could outshine the others, Zuo Gong had seen many. But the one who astounded him the most was the Chen Mobai before his eyes.


    If this man were to become his disciple, he would certainly surpass Zuo Gong and enhance the prestige of the Sword Control Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. He might even surpass the Pure Yang and Mountain and Sea Schools, becoming the top sword lineage in the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°Little Chen, have you ever considered taking on another teacher?¡±


    On hearing Zuo Gong¡¯s suddenly amiable tone, Chen Mobai was instantly alert.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, I have only scratched the surface of the Puppet Dao and truly do not have the energy to learn other things.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Your talent is wasted on Puppet Dao; you should focus on Sword Dao. Join my Sword Control Department. Once I retire, I can ensure you take my place as the director. I can even permit you to study the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique. I could also help you apply to the Daoist Academy for access to the Mo Bao Sword Scar, left behind by Old Ancestor Bai Guang.¡±


    The terms laid out by Zuo Gong tempted Chen Mobai greatly. Both the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique and the Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor¡¯s Sword Scar could not be bought with money. These precious artifacts of the Earth Origin Star were supreme inheritances of the Sword Dao. Countless Sword Cultivators had coveted these two items from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Now, as long as Chen Mobai agreed, he could essentially guarantee access to them.


    But after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still shook his head in refusal.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, I think your words earlier were correct. One should not be overly ambitious. I have only just mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting and my realm is still low. These two treasures, used on me, would not fully display their effects. Let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    ¡°What I said earlier was nonsense. Your talent in Sword Dao is the strongest I have ever seen. The Sword Control Department is most ideal for you. However, viewing the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique and Mo Bao¡¯s Sword Scar now indeed seems wasteful as they can only be used a limited number of times. Moreover, the Sword Intent they contain is too profound. It would be more suitable for you after Core Formation.¡±

 Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_2

    Chapter 485: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_2


    After advising a couple of times, Zuo Gong knew that without Che Yucheng¡¯s approval, Chen Mobai would probably not become his disciple. Annoyed, he withdrew his right hand that was demonstrating the Five Elements Sword Sha.


    ¡°To cultivate Sword Sha, one must first possess a strong body. My right arm has been specially strengthened through a Body Training Technique. In addition to the Five Elements, there are also Yin and Yang. In theory, the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Sha could form a composite sword array which would be even more formidable.¡±


    As he spoke, Zuo Gong slightly rolled up his sleeve to reveal his right shoulder, indeed bearing the marks of both Yin and Yang Sword Sha.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Teacher Zuo to have already cultivated both the Two Rites Sword Sha and Five Elements Sword Sha. Even the four great Sword Cultivators like Nangong Xuanyu may not match up to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zuo Gong shake his head, he sighed and revealed the hidden truth.


    ¡°After I theoretically finished the Sword Destruction Collection, in order to verify its practical operability and cultivatability, I proposed to test it on myself.¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu and the other three each condensed the other four Elemental Sword Sha apart from the Geng Metal Sword Demon, and then injected them into my right arm. But even after the extrapolation through the Emptiness Puppet, they only barely succeeded after failing three times.¡±


    ¡°I managed to cultivate the Five Elements Sword Sha, but the other four Sword Sha are not my own strength. Once they are activated, they will be exhausted and unable to recover, merely a spectacle.¡±


    ¡°The Two Rites Sword Sha is in the same situation. But due to the overpowering strength of Nangong Xuanyu¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the Xuan Yin Sword Sha condensed by the other three barely balanced with it to form a formation. Hence, I won¡¯t demonstrate it again, in case I harm my arm even more.¡±


    While talking, Zuo Gong covered up the Two Rites Sword Sha on his shoulder.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo has truly made a great contribution to the world of Sword Dao.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but respect Zuo Gong even more.


    The extrapolation of the Emptiness Puppet assumes under the most perfect conditions, but during actual practice, many unexpected errors can occur.


    With Zuo Gong¡¯s Core Formation realm, he still needed to specifically practice a Body Forging Technique to strengthen his right arm. This indicates how severe the physical damage could be if the Sword Sha Formation fails.


    ¡°So even though you¡¯ve attained the realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, if you really want to condense the Sword Slaughter Formation, you still need to specifically cultivate a Body Training Technique.¡±


    ¡°I suggest waiting until your Foundation Establishment is complete, then slowly attempt this. By that time, you will also have time to prepare and condense the Five Elements Essence Qi for artificial synthesis of the Earth Sha Qi.¡±


    ¡°However, the foundation of Sword Sha is Sword Light. You can first practice with the Five Elements Sword Light Formation.¡±


    ¡°I will first pass on to you my Body Training Technique, but everyone¡¯s physique is different, you can use it as a reference, just don¡¯t strictly follow my method.¡±


    When Zuo Gong previously passed on the Sword Destruction Collection, he had already added Chen Mobai as a friend, so very quickly he passed on his self-created Body Training Technique for condensing the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Array.


    Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Stars Sword Arm!


    This name is so tacky.


    After seeing the title of the ebook, Chen Mobai restrained his impulse to ridicule and continuously thanked Zuo Gong.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t understand something, feel free to ask me. After all, I am three hundred years older than you, so my experience in Sword Dao is more abundant.¡±


    Zuo Gong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai too overwhelmed to respond fortunately, the bell for the end of class rang at that moment and Zha Jianbai walked over.


    ¡°Director, President.¡±


    Zha Jianbai called out to both Zuo Gong and Chen Mobai. Since he had begun working as a Teaching Assistant, he had frequently interacted with the student council over the past two years and had a few exchanges with Chen Mobai. Being from the same year, they accommodated each other¡¯s schedules.


    ¡°Oh yes, the offline peer exchange meeting of the Daoist Academy is about to begin. The participant list is not yet confirmed. Would you be interested, Old Zha?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly remembered this matter. As he along with three other Foundation Establishment Nine Layer graduates were participating, they had enough top-level competitors, so he thought about cultivating more talented students for the Daoist Academy.


    Out of all the students of year 5012, apart from Zhongli Tianyu and himself, Zha Jianbai was actually the most talented.


    He was a true Sword Cultivation Genius, and was also at the Foundation Establishment stage just by hearing the Dao.


    It¡¯s a pity that he was in the same year as Chen Mobai. Otherwise, if he were chosen as the next Student Council President, Chen Mobai would not have to worry about Dance Tool Dao Academy falling back into last place after his graduation.


    ¡°What does the Director think?¡±


    Zha Jianbai hesitated a bit, then turned to Zuo Gong to ask. The latter just nodded without comment.


    ¡°It¡¯s good to go have a look. One has to get hit to grow.¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed. He had never been hit.


    ¡°Then I will take my leave first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, come to the Sword Control Department whenever you have time. Or you can drop by my office and campus for tea when you are free.¡±


    Zha Jianbai was puzzled as he saw Zuo Gong bid Chen Mobai farewell with a friendly face.


    Previously when he heard Zuo Gong discuss Chen Mobai, it was with a tone of displeasure. How come he is so amiable now?


    After leaving the campus, Chen Mobai visited Che Yucheng again.


    He originally thought this teacher was still upset, but Che Yucheng appeared as usual. The two discussed the upcoming offline exchange meeting¡¯s participant list. Then Chen Mobai skillfully asked a few questions about automatons replacing manual labor.


    ¡°I believe this is the future trend for the Immortal Cultivation World. It¡¯s just that the population of cultivators is still high, making human labor much cheaper than automatons. That¡¯s why it hasn¡¯t been heavily developed. When human labor becomes scarce and expensive in the future, automatons will replace human labor.¡±


    As expected, Che Yucheng¡¯s expression became lively when discussing automatons, and his tone was also filled with passion.


    ¡°Teacher, as you know I own a talisman factory. So I was thinking about conducting an experiment in my factory to create an entirely automated production line.¡±


    ¡°Theoretically, there is no problem. In the cultivation world, there are several high-end Magic Artifact alchemy labs that use entirely automated processes. I have been involved in the design and construction of two of these labs. I will grant you access so you can look up relevant papers.¡±


    As one of the leading figures in the Puppet Dao, Che Yucheng had taken part in almost every major project related to puppets.


    Even though he knew that Chen Mobai was saying this just to please him, it was the thought that counts.


    However, Chen Mobai indeed had been considering this.


    He had been pondering how to safely and efficiently transport resources from the Tianhe Realm and Divine Tree Secret Realm to the Immortal Cultivation World to convert it into his assets, without revealing it to anyone.


    After plenty of consideration, using automatons was the only option.


    Luckily, he now owned a talisman factory, creating a base to start trading between the two realms gradually.


    ¡°By the way, have you solved the issue you sought Zuo Gong about?¡±


    Finally, Che Yucheng asked, concerned.


    ¡°I have. I completed the Sword Light Shapeshifting recently, and it turned out to be a path of ¡®one sword generates countless methods¡¯. So, I couldn¡¯t find any information online. After receiving guidance from Teacher Zuo, I am planning on practicing his Sword Destruction Collection. If things go well, I should be able to complete at least one of the Swords Slaughter Formations before the exchange meeting.¡±


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s good¡­wait, what¡­Sword Light Shapeshifting!¡±


    Che Yucheng was initially just making polite talk to show his deep attachment as a mentor. But halfway through his sentence, his centuries-old mind suddenly caught up.


    ¡°What did you say you¡¯ve mastered?¡±


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Che Yucheng¡¯s eyes widened as he rose from his chair, staring straight at the disciple before him, unable to believe what he¡¯d heard.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher. Is something wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai initially intended to keep it a secret, but he felt that revealing it would be consistent with his ¡°genius¡± persona. Moreover, it would inevitably be exposed in the future. Since he¡¯d already told Zuo Gong, he might as well lay his cards on the table here.


    Che Yucheng sat down again with an uncertain look on his face. After a long time, he appeared to have made some decision, then said with some reluctance.


    ¡°Your talent in swordsmanship is somewhat wasted in my Puppet Lines. Why not switch over to the Sword Control Department?¡±

 Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Chapter 340: Breakthrough_1

    Chapter 486: Chapter 340: Breakthrough_1


    Regarding Che Yucheng¡¯s proposal, Chen Mobai promptly shook his head in refusal.


    ¡°Teacher, although I have achieved some accomplishment in Sword Dao, I prefer Puppet Dao at heart. I¡¯d rather not switch to the Sword Control Department.¡±


    The fact is, Chen Mobai understood where his proficiency in ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± and ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± came from.


    Compared to Zha Jianbai, he was but a hollow Sword Cultivation Genius. Being around Zuo Gong, the Jiedan Sword Cultivator, for prolonged periods might give him away. It was best to keep him at arm¡¯s length.


    ¡°Alright then, it was just a suggestion.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s rejection, a relieved expression appeared on Che Yucheng¡¯s face.


    This disciple was so outstanding that he found it somewhat disconcerting .


    If he was genuinely impeded in Puppet Lines, he would feel somewhat remorseful.


    After Chen Mobai took his leave, he went to the Student Council.


    Under the looming gaze of Hua Zijing, he forced a smile and settled some matters that necessarily required his presence or signature.


    ¡°Alright, I can only accompany you till here. The rest is up to you.¡±


    After wrapping up all the business of the year, Hua Zijing stretched lazily and announced her resignation.


    Currently, they were in the conference room, and most of the Student Council members were present.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard these past two years.¡±


    After receiving the documents, Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude to Hua Zijing deeply. Without her help as the Vice President and Secretary-General, he would have been a complete mess at first.


    ¡°Those were just my due duties.¡±


    Hua Zijing waved her hand, then picked up the white cat lounging on the conference table, entering relaxation mode.


    This semester would end in two more months.


    After Chen Mobai became president, of the three vice presidents, Shen Youren had graduated last year.


    He was replaced by Ying Sizhen from the Alchemy Department, who was now in charge of liaising with the departments of Alchemy and Spiritual Plants. He was doing quite well.


    After Hua Zijing¡¯s resignation, only Ming Yu remained of the three Vice Presidents initially left behind by Zuo Qiushi. However, he was in ninth grade this year and would likely have to step down at this time next year.


    ¡°After Zijing graduates, let Zhuang Jialan take over the secretariat. As for the Vice President, how about Lu Tiansuan?¡±


    Chen Mobai knocked on the table and announced the nominations they had previously discussed.


    Hua Zijing was Vice President and concurrently Secretary-General. Zhuang Jialan¡¯s tenure was not enough, promoting her directly to Vice President would make folks in Daoist Academy talk. They would think she had nepotism going for her.


    Lu Tiansuan was the first Student Council member Chen Mobai had known. Like Ming Yu, he would graduate next year.


    He was experienced enough, and while his communication skills were lacking, he was a practical person.


    Most of the Student Council members voted in favor of him as the third Vice President.


    Thus, at this meeting, the new Student Council team was formed.


    However, this team could only hold for a year.


    Thinking that he wouldn¡¯t graduate for another three years, Chen Mobai felt that he needed to recruit more people.


    [Brothers and sisters, the Student Council is recruiting this year. If anyone is interested, as your president, I guarantee full benefits.]


    In the chat group of the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai started to draw in the people he was closest with in the Daoist Academy.


    [Brother, wait for me. I¡¯ll join as soon as I¡¯m back at the end of the year.]


    The first to respond was naturally Ming Yuhua. He spent the whole year outside with Daoist Academy¡¯s main crew refining large-scale magical instruments, but the end was finally in sight. The project would be completed soon.


    [What benefits are there?]


    The chat group immediately came alive as Chen Mobai used the same words he had used to cajole Zhuang Jialan, and soon three people expressed their interest in joining the course.


    Gong Ranran, Li Zimo, and Fan Yuanpu were the ones who responded.


    After their Foundation Establishment, they found that their credits were not sufficient, and were worried about this issue. Given that legal credit benefits could be obtained from the Student Council, they agreed readily.


    Yunyang Bing approached Chen Mobai privately and explained that he intended to start traveling around with his teacher to various Immortal Gates from next year, exploring the great landscapes while completing the mapping of a specific area, so he would not join the Student Council anymore.


    Chen Mobai understood this. Apart from Yunyang Bing, Jin Shuwei was also an Array Department student, who had also received the task of mapping. Both of them had to follow their mentors off-campus for practical courses.


    The three major faculties in Dance Tool Dao Academy, Array, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, all emphasized practical work and encouraged their studies to be applied, so they all had courses similar to internships.


    However, if one truly wanted to improve, participating in such activities was necessary. Isolation was not advisable.


    Aside from these people, Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan had also successfully completed their Foundation Establishment.


    However, since their breakup, they had never spoken in the group again.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to stop messaging, Lan Yufan suddenly asked him privately: [Is Lu Zixuan joining the Student Council?]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    [No? What¡¯s up, do you want to avoid her?]


    Chen Mobai was an intuitive person and immediately guessed Lan Yufan¡¯s thoughts when he saw her message.


    [Yes, if she doesn¡¯t join, I¡¯ll hang out in the Student Council.]


    [Okay, I will post the membership application form in the group later, you can download it, fill it, and send it directly to the Student Council¡¯s email.]


    Now Chen Mobai just wanted as many council members as possible, so that they could share the bulk of the work that had fallen on him after Hua Zijing¡¯s graduation.

 Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Chapter 340 Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 487: Chapter 340 Breakthrough_2


    After he posted the application form and email address in the group, he instructed Zhuang Jialan, who was managing the mailbox, about the matter, and then he left it be.


    Because he started busy helping others to identify the ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡±.


    Since he was about to lead a team to the Jumang Daoist Academy very soon, he would probably not be in the Treasure Trove at the end of the year, so he moved this process ahead of time.


    Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter if they are identified first before being opened.


    Once he set up his ¡°gold-sign¡± with his Void Spirit Eye, the news was published, and many who missed out last year were crowding at the entrance of the student union, each with a sack of ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯.


    Initially, those to be identified were the people from the Metaphysical Class who had some connections.


    They were all newly established Foundation Establishers and could receive a device piece for free.


    This year, they found several nurturing spheres in the Treasure Trove after looking for a long time. Plus, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s connections, they could freely consult the Map of Treasures. Each person successively found three to four nurturing spheres to present.


    After Chen Mobai had identified each one, both Gong Ranran and Fan Yuanpu had beaming faces on the spot, unsealing Rank-2 superior Magical Artifacts.


    The remaining four people, however, did not use the device pieces on Chen Mobai¡¯s advice as the goods they found were very ordinary.


    After identifying them for the Metaphysical Class fellow students, Chen Mobai began to open doors for regular business.


    However, the doorkeeper changed from Hua Zijing to the current Zhuang Jialan.


    One by one, True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment came in, some were overjoyed while others were gloomy and upset.


    But compared to directly opening and getting a common and incompatible Rank-2 magical artifact, at least they all have a chance to choose again.


    Since the exchange of the device pieces was not until the end of the year, even those True Cultivators who had identified the magical artifacts they wanted had no way to open them now.


    After all the people had finished the identification, Chen Mobai organized another exchange meeting, picked out some well-identified magical artifacts that were not appropriate for the owners and introduced them to other suitable people.


    After this round of discussion, basically most people got the magic artifacts they were satisfied with.


    The remaining few had to accept their bad luck. They again went to the Treasure Trove to search everywhere, to see if they could find the suitable ones before the end of the year.


    After this identification conference, Chen Mobai¡¯s account was directly credited with 186 school points, a full 100 more points than last year.


    One school point for identifying one ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±. After making a name for himself last year, he finally had a good harvest this year. And it will be more and more in the visible next three years.


    But it is also exhausting.


    Continuous operation of the Void Spirit Eye consumes a great deal of Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. Only because of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and the warm flow of Life Tree Juice, he could finish all the identification within three days.


    When Chen Mobai had no school points, he felt extreme pain.


    But when he had school points and couldn¡¯t spend them, he felt even more pain.


    Chen Mobai felt that this was not good. Since Wang Xingyu was in closed-door cultivation for his Foundation Establishment, the three bamboo fruits in his possession should be refined by Qing Nu. That means, it was better to exchange the other medicinal materials before going to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    But as it was not the right time, Luo Hezheng, who was in charge of the Academy¡¯s storage, would not make exceptions for anyone.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to turn to Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Teacher, I believe that those who are representing the Daoist Academy to participate in offline exchanges and matches should exchange some elixirs and spiritual objects in advance. After all, we are the facade of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Once we could make a breakthrough with these elixirs, perhaps we could bring honor to the Daoist Academy during the exchange.¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally apprehensive to say that he wanted to exchange the vermillion fruit. Thus, he found an impressive excuse and even obtained signatures of approval from most people.


    Seeing the application form signed by all members of the student union and many in-school Foundation Establishment cultivators, Che Yucheng had a smile in his eyes.


    ¡°I will discuss this matter at the teachers¡¯ meeting this week. If the vote passes, Luo Hezheng will not stop you anymore.¡±


    Che Yucheng always handles things reasonably in a respected manner.


    Although he could force Luo Hezheng to obey with his position as the director of the academic affairs office, he won¡¯t do that. To avoid bias, he might even vote against it.


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused. However, Che Yucheng¡¯s next sentence brightened his eyes.


    ¡°If you are doing this on behalf of your team, it may be hard to pass the meeting. But if you use your team as a pretext to allow the Academy¡¯s storage exchange to be open to all students in advance, I think no one will refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately understood the hint in Che Yucheng¡¯s words.


    Raising hands to cast votes is essentially adopting what the majority wants!


    If this benefits the majority, then it will obviously succeed.


    Once back in the student union, Chen Mobai quickly told them about the situation and had the True Cultivators who had identified valuable items from each major department persuade their respective tutors and directors.


    So, at the weekend teachers¡¯ meeting, Luo Hezheng looked perplexed as nearly seventy percent of the teachers in the conference room raised their hands in approval, passing the application to open the Daoist Academy¡¯s treasury for exchange earlier this year.


    ¡°Director Luo, I would like three Vermillion Fruit, one Small Barrier Breaking Pill, and one liter of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally the first one to hear the news and come to exchange.


    ¡°You kid¡­¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, Luo Hezheng could only shake his head, then he opened the storeroom and took out what Chen Mobai wanted.


    Later, under Luo Hezheng¡¯s supervision, Chen Mobai picked three Vermillion Fruit from the Daoist Academy.


    After preparing the two main ingredients for the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai quickly made a trip back to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, help me gather three sets of these herbs. Your elder brother usually handles this, but he¡¯s currently in seclusion healing, so I¡¯ll leave this matter to you.¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s efficiency is even faster than Liu Wenbo¡¯s.


    She left with the list of herbs in the morning and came back with three large bags in the afternoon.


    ¡°How did you do it so quickly?¡±


    Chen Mobai checked the three sets of auxiliary herbs, confirmed that they were all top-quality, and couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    It usually took Liu Wenbo about a week to purchase and collect everything in Divine Wood City.


    ¡°Master, I went to Inspector Sun of the Spirit Plant Department and explained the situation to him. He gave me a note to give to a sister in charge of the inventory in the Spirit Plant department. She quickly gathered up the materials according to my list. Of course, I used my own sect contribution to purchase, I didn¡¯t use your name to get them for free.¡±


    After listening to Luo Yixuan¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Compared with the modest and gentlemanly Liu Wenbo, she was indeed more astute and capable.


    The Spirit Plant Department oversees all the fields on Giant Tree Ridge, and also continuously purchases Spiritual Medicine cultivated by various Immortal Cultivating clans under Divine Wood Sect from the four countries. Outside of Back to Sky Valley, their inventory of medicinal herbs is the most abundant in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    That¡¯s how Zeng Woyou was able to become a Rank-3 Alchemist.


    In the past, in order not to expose himself Chen Mobai would always have Liu Wenbo collect materials from the market. This line of thinking had become a habit and he didn¡¯t think to change it.


    Right now, he is the red-hot new direct disciple of the Divine Wood Sect leader, buying some herbs from the Spirit Plant Department is a completely normal thing. Even if he reveals his elixir recipe, what¡¯s the point? He has already planted the seed of him having an Alchemist heritage through Yan Jinye, and he suspects many people already know.


    Let it be known that besides sword training and farming, he also wants to develop towards becoming an Alchemist.


    After praising Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai took the herbs and went into seclusion again.


    He returned to Dance Tool Dao Academy, symbolically rented a room, and faked taking a Small Barrier Breaking Pill.


    Since his Dantian Qi Sea was already unblocked to the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection, breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Rank-3 of Pure Yang Scroll was as simple and smooth as drinking water.


    The important thing was to have enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    After the breakthrough, Chen Mobai put the Small Barrier Breaking Pill in his storage bag.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had only broken through to Foundation Establishment Rank-2 of Pure Yang Scroll at the end of last year, just ten months ago. Although breaking through one level in a year is a normal speed, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to reveal too much.


    Taking a Barrier Breaking Pill to break through in advance would indeed cause some surprise, but it was still within the normal range.


    After all, Sword Light Shapeshifting could be explained by astonishing comprehension, but going from Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Foundation Establishment Perfection in one year could not be explained even by an old Divinity Transformation ancestor.


    As long as his Spiritual Power Realm progression speed is the same as Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s, it wouldn¡¯t attract any attention.


    Speaking of Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai happened to have arranged a meeting with him.

 Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_1

    Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_1


    This time, it was a face-to-face discussion at the Daoist Academy.


    This was a showcase of the future exchange between the top universities of the Immortal Sect, and it was only natural to bring out the most outstanding talents in the school.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in his unrivaled Magic Duel skills, his realm was still a bit low.


    The principals of the other three Daoist Academies were monsters who had already reached Foundation Establishment before entering the academy, and they had all reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment two years ago, which was the exact reason why Zuo Qiushi felt unable to compete and chose to step down.


    But Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy and a Daoist master from Repairing Heaven Institute were both in their tenth year, along with Hua Zijing ¨C they all needed to graduate this year.


    These monstrous figures would naturally seek ways to acquire the Jade Return Pill in preparation for the highest probability of Core Formation, rather than wasting their years in the Daoist Academy.


    This was precisely why both of them had readily agreed when Pure Yang Academy proposed this off-line exchange.


    At the very least, they wanted to suppress the Dance Tool Dao Academy again before they graduated.


    Of course, the offline discussion was also a chance to introduce the next generation of academy principals to the world.


    Chen Mobai was in his prime and wouldn¡¯t graduate for another three years, but that didn¡¯t stop him from bringing along another prospective principal for the next generation of the Daoist Academy.


    After spending two years in the Student Council, what began as a fascinating endeavor had become a bit tedious, especially now given Hua Zijing¡¯s upcoming graduation. Considering that Zhuang Jialan hadn¡¯t grown up yet, Chen Mobai knew he would be busy for the next three years. Hence, he had also started considering stepping down and letting someone else take over.


    But, he wouldn¡¯t let the prestigious title of Academy Principal be tarnished under his chosen successor. He had to choose someone strong enough to hold back the fierce characters of the other Daoist Academy.


    In the end, Zhongli Tianyu was the clear choice.


    His progress was astounding, and he had already broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment this year.


    With the Divinity Transformation Legacy and ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± plus the wide array of resources from the Daoist family, Zhongli Tianyu breaks a layer each year. His progress was even more monstrous than the other three.


    Among the rest of the students at the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the highest realm was occupied by Hua Zijing and Ming Yu, both at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Besides their innate Spiritual Root talent, it was their ability to secure more credit points than other students, thanks to the resources of the Student Council.


    In particular, Ming Yu, who had learned the Art of the Spiritual Eyes and helped others identify the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, had made a fortune from these Good Deed Points.


    However, both of them were stuck after the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Or to say, ninety-nine percent of the students couldn¡¯t reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment before graduation. Only one or two do so every ten years.


    These people are the real seed of the Path and it¡¯s because of this, Zuo Qiushi easily ended up in the law enforcement department of the Immortal Sect after graduation.


    It was Che Yucheng who told Chen Mobai about Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s breakthrough to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.


    According to Che Yucheng, this achievement should be announced campus-wide.


    After all, this suggests that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy is on the rise, with one prodigious student after another popping out, promising a bright future.


    But Zhongli Tianyu didn¡¯t agree. He didn¡¯t care to show off.


    The reason he had informed Che Yucheng was that Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s family head and Che Yucheng had always shared a good relationship. Before coming to the academy, his family head had told him to go to Che Yucheng if any issues arose.


    Another reason was that three pieces of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror were hidden in the Treasure Trove.


    Zhongli Tianyu could seek clues from Che Yucheng, every time he achieved a breakthrough to the fourth, seventh level of Foundation Establishment, or when he graduated.


    A few days ago, Che Yucheng had just informed Zhongli Tianyu of the second mirror piece.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai knew where to find Zhongli Tianyu.


    He had been there before.


    Using a Short Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai returned to the Treasure Trove. He greeted Zhuang Jialan, who was standing at the entrance.


    ¡°Are you going deep into the Treasure Trove, Chairman?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to see someone.¡±


    ¡°Do you need me to accompany you?¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured that he could go alone.


    Seven years after entering school, he had only seen Zhongli Tianyu once during registration. He knew that this man had a peculiar temper, and it might escalate to a fight. If Zhuang Jialan accompanied him, it might restrict his actions.


    Moreover, he felt that the scene of him and Zhongli Tianyu engaging in a duel shouldn¡¯t be witnessed by a third person. That would save him from feeling embarrassed.


    Upon entering the main cave of the Treasure Trove on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Chen Mobai called Mi Yudao.


    ¡°Mi, that Device Nurturing Sphere you found in the Fire Spirit Tree might be opened today.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mi Yudao agreed to go immediately.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Initially, beneath the roots and rubble of a Fire Spirit Tree, Mi had found a Device Nurturing Sphere. After Chen Mobai identified it, they found it was an Array Plate, but there was also another Device Nurturing Sphere within the trunk of the Fire Spirit Tree.


    Even Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye couldn¡¯t penetrate that Device Nurturing Sphere, initially attributing it to the interference of multiple powers. They were now aware that it sealed a piece of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror.


    At its peak, this Magic Artifact was Rank-5. His Void Spirit Eye might have been practiced to a good level, but even for a shard of this rank, he couldn¡¯t see through it.


    After waiting for Mi Yudao at the cavern entrance, both of them went together inside.


    After traversing five to six hundred meters, they once again ended up in front of the Fire Spirit Tree.

 Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_2

    Chapter 489: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_2


    A young man with a bob cut and bangs covering his eyes, dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, stretched out his hand and reached into the trunk of the tree, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that sealed a piece of the Bagua Mirror.


    Naturally, Mi Yudao recognized Zhongli Tianyu. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, then hesitated, and ultimately just sighed without saying a word.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you two know the rules? I¡¯ve already claimed this cave.¡±


    After taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere, Zhongli Tianyu turned his head towards the two of them, speaking in a cold tone.


    ¡°That Device Nurturing Sphere is registered to Senior Mi in our Student Association¡¯s ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯. It only seals an Array Plate, unrelated to your Bagua Mirror, and it¡¯s a live seal at that. I hope you won¡¯t disturb the flow of the surrounding Spiritual Energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the Device Nurturing Sphere nestled between the roots and broken stones of the Fire Spirit Tree, and then pointed to Mi Yudao, indicating that he was the first to discover it. According to the rules, if Zhongli Tianyu wanted to take it as well, he should compensate them with some Good Deed Points.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that.¡±


    However, after Zhongli Tianyu got the fragment of the Bagua Mirror, he didn¡¯t even glance at the other Device Nurturing Sphere which contained the Array Plate.


    Just as Mi Yudao let out a sigh of relief, Zhongli Tianyu pointed towards the direction of the cave entrance, indicating they could leave.


    ¡°Now that we¡¯ve settled the public matters, I have a personal matter. I was wondering if you¡¯d be interested in participating in the Daoist Academy¡¯s offline exchange meeting?¡±


    Chen Mobai started the conversation with the Device Nurturing Sphere and promptly moved on to the main subject.


    ¡°Not interested. Since I¡¯m in a good mood today, disappear from my sight immediately. Don¡¯t make me kick you out.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu didn¡¯t even pay full attention to either of the two. His eyes, hidden under his flat bangs, were fixed on the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand. A fragment of the Bagua Mirror, which seemed to have been reassembled after being shattered and falling to the ground, appeared on his palm.


    As soon as the Mirror appeared, the previously quiet Device Nurturing Sphere began to emit streaks of firelight. Then it floated out of the sphere¡¯s surface, forming a Li Gua (Separation Symbol).


    At this moment, the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror in Chen Mobai¡¯s Qi Sea suddenly began to tremble, as if it had encountered a source of power that greatly attracted it.


    In the Immortal Sects, and especially in the Daoist Academy, one doesn¡¯t have to worry about stealing treasures.


    So, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hold back and let his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror out directly.


    This bronze mirror instantly emitted a radiant flame of Yang, seemingly wanting to pull in the Li Gua on the Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Are you seeking death?¡±


    Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to have misunderstood.


    However, he finally looked up at Chen Mobai.


    He brushed his bangs aside, revealing a pair of eyes as black as ink, as deep as the starry sky. In them, the Bagua was faintly rotating, evolving into wind and thunder.


    ¡°Sorry, it seems that my innate artifact has some connection with your Bagua Mirror, so I couldn¡¯t control it for a moment.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this and stretched out his hand to stop his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror, but his goal had already been achieved.


    ¡°Senior Mi, why don¡¯t you go back first?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly turned to Mi Yudao and said. The latter hesitated for a moment, but considering his friend¡¯s combat capabilities, he finally nodded.


    ¡°Be careful. I¡¯ll wait for you at the Student Association. If you don¡¯t come back by tonight, I¡¯ll report this to Director Che.¡±


    Words from Mi Yudao caused Chen Mobai to chuckle involuntarily.


    Although Zhongli Tianyu had already reached the Foundation Establishment Level Seven, he definitely wasn¡¯t a match for him.


    But Mi Yudao was worried about him, so he didn¡¯t explain further. He waved his hand to indicate that he should leave first to avoid disturbing their spar.


    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t worry. At most, I¡¯ll just teach him a lesson.¡±


    As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he raised his right hand, and a green current of air condensed in his palm. It turned into a crescent moon-shaped blade in a blink of an eye and slashed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Student Zhongli, don¡¯t you recognize me?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised. Now in the Immortal Sects, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator would dare to use such a probing move against him.


    He didn¡¯t use his Sword Light, but the Yi Wood Divine Thunder from his palm erupted, turning into a flicker of green lightning. It shattered the air current arc blade and struck Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s forehead.


    Zi la la!


    However, a purple thunder abruptly appeared and flashed in front of Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s forehead, absorbing all of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°Your lightning-based method is not bad, but, I am the Thunder Emperor.¡±


    As he was talking, Zhongli Tianyu clenched his right hand in the air, a purple thunderbolt taking shape like a sharp blade in the center of his palm. It was like a long spear, which he hurled right towards Chen Mobai.


    A roaring sound echoed through the ancient cave that was unknowable in age, quaking because of this Thunderbolt Spear.


    Chen Mobai frowned; he also intended to leave a deep impression on Zhongli Tianyu by thoroughly defeating him in Thunder method, the very thing he excelled in.


    He ramped up the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to Rank-2 Peak.


    A cyan-colored electric light condensed and stretched across his palm, morphing into a Spider Web of Thunder and Lightning.


    With his flawless understanding of this Thunder method, the strength was just right, exactly what was required to trap the purple Thunderbolt Spear.


    After experiencing it firsthand, Chen Mobai realized that Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s Thunder method seemed grander than his own, emphasizing destruction and annihilation with terrifying eradicating power. Could it be the legendary Purple Sky God Thunder?


    While he pondered, the power of both Thunder methods, under his meticulous control, dissolved into nothingness simultaneously.


    It signified that the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Thunderbolt Spear perfectly balanced each other out.


    Zhongli Tianyu, seeing this, widened his eyes in disbelief.


    [Coincidence?]


    He certainly didn¡¯t believe that it was all under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, but at that moment, he realized that this cultivator, seemingly not as powerful as him, seemed a little formidable.


    ¡°You¡¯re lucky to witness my full strength.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu finally got serious; the ¡°Xun Hexagram¡± and ¡°Zhen Hexagram¡± appeared in his pupils hidden beneath flat bangs.


    Suddenly, he disappeared from sight.


    ¡°Impressive speed.¡±


    Chen Mobai, a veteran of numerous battles, had gained ample experience dealing with swift opponents during his intense fight with Lu Qiulong.


    After praising, he flicked his thumb towards his back.


    A cyan-colored electric light, like a drill, burst forth abruptly. Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s face, behind Chen Mobai, turned ashen, then the Yi Wood Divine Thunder hit him, but a flash of purple thunderbolt quickly emerged to block the electric light.


    The electric and thunder lights unleashed the most dazzling radiance in a flash. Just when Zhongli Tianyu was expecting a massive explosion, the two forces suddenly melted into thin air again.


    [What kind of monster is this man!]


    After consecutive occurrences, Zhongli Tianyu finally understood the danger of Chen Mobai.


    This man¡¯s Magic Duel ability was all too capable of making a complete fool out of him.


    But the prideful man that he was, the real body of the Bagua Mirror appeared on his forehead, the two symbols of Wind and Thunder in his eyes materialized, and his entire body exploded into six to seven purple thunderbolt beams. Then, he cupped his hands which formed into a giant Thunder Ball, and smashed it heavily towards Chen Mobai before him.


    This Thunder Ball was so powerful that it had far surpassed the Rank-2 level.


    Only by utilizing the power of the Bagua Mirror could Zhongli Tianyu barely manifest this thunder force.


    He didn¡¯t believe Chen Mobai could dissolve it as perfectly as before after this attack.


    By this point, Zhongli Tianyu knew he was no match for the monster before his eyes, but he wanted to break his humiliating streak of being manipulated.


    Even if it just made this guy step back¡­


    Just as Zhongli Tianyu, with wide eyes and flying hair, was slamming down his most powerful Thunder Ball, Chen Mobai finally turned around.


    And their eyes met.


    Chen Mobai suddenly smiled; then under the incredulous gaze of Zhongli Tianyu, he lifted his right hand again. The cyan lightning condensed into a mirror-like water in his palm, then it was poured out like a sprinkler, transforming the Lightning-Water into a clear and transparent barrier.

    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s Thunder Ball dramatically fell onto the Lightning-Water barrier. It was like a stone falling into the deep sea, made huge waves but returned to tranquility soon.


    Finally, the light and shadow faded away, revealing his open hands and Chen Mobai¡¯s slender right palm.


    Chen Mobai, extending his right hand, gently patted the forehead of Zhongli Tianyu who stood there shocked and numb, announcing his victory in the friendly match.


    To be honest, it didn¡¯t feel like a significant achievement.


    He felt like he was a bit of a bully.

 Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: Chapter 342: Prominent Family_1

    Chapter 490: Chapter 342: Prominent Family_1


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Only at this moment did Zhongli Tianyu finally react. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, looking at the fine-looking young man in front of him and asking.


    ¡°I¡¯m Chen Mobai, we enrolled at the same time. We¡¯ve met before, but at that time you were on the stage and I was below it, so you might not have noticed me.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile.


    During the enrollment ceremony, Zhongli Tianyu was on stage giving a speech as a representative of the new students while he watched from below.


    ¡°So you¡¯re Chen Mobai!¡±


    Apparently, Zhongli Tianyu was familiar with that name. Even though he spent these seven years cultivating in Treasure Trove, he still came out for the exams to obtain credits at the end of each year. Naturally, he had heard of this most well-known classmate in these last two years.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, as you know I¡¯m currently the Student Council President, but I may have to go on an internship in a couple of years. Looking around the entire Daoist Academy, you seem to be the only one capable of taking over my position, so I¡¯d like to take you with me this time.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯re in the same grade.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu couldn¡¯t help but interject. He was already in his seventh year and in two years¡¯ time, at most, he would only serve as President for a year.


    ¡°That¡¯s okay, even holding the position for a one year still counts.¡±


    In the next couple of years, Chen Mobai decided to focus on trade between the two realms. The student council was no longer of much help to him. He planned to follow in the footsteps of Zuo Qiushi, finding a suitable replacement to step down and pass the torch.


    ¡°If you can defeat me, I¡¯ll agree. But I demand that you fight me once a year.¡±


    After some thought, Zhongli Tianyu, for reasons known only to himself, made this rather self-abasing condition.


    ¡°Sure, meet me at the Student Council residence in half a month, and we¡¯ll set off together.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where the Student Council¡¯s residence is.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly made a surprising comment.


    ¡°During those seven years in the Treasure Trove, were you just cultivating?¡±


    ¡°Pretty much. When there was thunder, I would leave the Treasure Trove to comprehend the evolution of thunderbolts.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu answered honestly. Chen Mobai looked at his clear, innocent expression and couldn¡¯t help but marvel that there was such a person in this world.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have any other hobbies besides cultivating?¡±


    ¡°Does reading manga count?¡±


    ¡°It does.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai understood why Zhongli Tianyu had developed such a personality. Turned out he was quite the homebody.


    ¡°Do you want to open this Device Nurturing Sphere?¡±


    Before leaving, Zhongli Tianyu pointed at the one between the root system of the Fire Spirit Tree and the broken stones. His comment made Chen Mobai wonder if he had missed out on some treasure.


    After activating his Void Spirit Eye to give it another look, he confirmed his previous appraisal result was correct. It was a triangular array plate.


    ¡°It¡¯s of no use to me, let¡¯s just leave it here.¡±


    ¡°The array plate sealed within this Sphere has absorbed quite a bit of the power from the Li Gua, the Separation Symbol. If your mirror could absorb it, it could be very beneficial.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words brought Chen Mobai to a halt.


    ¡°Can you also see through Device Nurturing Spheres?¡±


    ¡°Before, I could only see the natural energy condensed from ¡®Wind Thunder¡¯, now there¡¯s also ¡®fire¡¯.¡±


    As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he brushed aside his bangs to reveal his right eye. In his pupils, a Separation Symbol faintly appeared and disappeared.


    ¡°Even though you haven¡¯t opened this Device Nurturing Sphere, you can already use the power of a Separation Symbol fragment?¡±


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere sealing the Bagua Mirror was made by someone in our clan, so I don¡¯t need a Device Piece to summon Fire Godlight and can open it already. After obtaining the item, the seal was essentially already unsealed.¡±


    The Device Nurturing Sphere that was sealing the mirror fragment ignited in Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s palm and melted into a white jade liquid, revealing an irregularly shaped mirror fragment with a faintly visible Separation Symbol on the mirror surface.


    Zhongli Tianyu held his Bagua Mirror and fit the fragment into it like a puzzle piece in a corner. Soon, the Bagua Mirror emitted a fiery red Spiritual Light, transmitting a wave of joyful fluctuations.


    ¡°Your clan sealed the Bagua Mirror fragments in the Device Nurturing Spheres and placed them all over the academy, aren¡¯t they afraid other students might happen upon them?¡±


    ¡°If someone really does take it, then retrieving it becomes part of my cultivation.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu spoke in a calm tone, saying something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite understand.


    ¡°What do you think of my cultivation speed?¡±


    ¡°Very fast, throughout the whole Immortal¡¯s Door, I doubt you¡¯d find anyone faster.¡± Chen Mobai spoke truthfully but in his mind, he thought: [Apart from me, of course.]


    ¡°With the Bagua Mirror, ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, and the resources of the Daoist Academy, my speed will remain this way until I make a breakthrough in my major cultivation realm. But it has been a thousand years since our family¡¯s ancestor passed away, and not a single one of us has managed to complete ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. The reason is that our cultivation speed is too fast, and we lack refinement.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    By the time Zhongli Tianyu finished speaking, Chen Mobai had already reached the Fire Spirit Tree and taken the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    ¡°So a hundred years ago, the clan nurtured the shattered and downgraded Bagua Mirror fragments in various places in the Immortal¡¯s Door. They also chose me as the host for the Bagua Mirror, starting a process of cultivation called ¡®recombination¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The clan demands that I gather all the Bagua Mirror fragments, believing it would slow down my cultivation speed and also refine my foundation. It¡¯s agreed that no matter what difficulties or hardships I encounter, I should solve them by myself.¡±


    ¡°Besides this, they also want me to figure out a way to obtain the spiritual objects required for Core Formation on my own.¡±


    When he finished speaking, Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s expression did not change. Chen Mobai¡¯s first thought after listening to him was: [Is this what they call a prominent family?]

 Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: Chapter 342 Big Family_2

    Chapter 491: Chapter 342 Big Family_2


    ¡°Are you implying that your family has pills that assist with Core Formation?¡±


    ¡°Before our ancestor passed away, he crafted a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pills, a furnace of Infant-Transforming Elixirs left as heritage for our family.¡±


    ¡°Are you selling them?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked very bluntly.


    ¡°They can¡¯t be used by anyone outside the clan, and now there¡¯s only one left.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai regretfully shake his head. However, upon thinking about it, if they were available for purchase, all the big shots from the immortal sects would have bought them from the Zhongli family a long time ago.


    Take Gongye Zhixu for example, in order to obtain baby-forming spiritual things, he even became the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, yet he only managed to get one Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have any Device Pieces to exchange, otherwise I could open this Device Nurturing Sphere on the spot.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could see through the surface layer, if he wanted to verify the true origins of the magic artifact, he would still need to open it.


    This year he earned 186 credits through the appraisal of Device Nurturing Spheres. Buying three Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir took 90 of them, leaving him with 96.


    As the final examinations for this year haven¡¯t begun yet, he hasn¡¯t received the credits from the courses he enrolled in. Therefore, he won¡¯t be able to exchange for a Device Piece until the end of the year.


    Considering that he would soon be going to the Jumang Daoist Academy, it might be better to open this Device Nurtifying Sphere prior to his departure. Thus, he took Zhongli Tianyu and headed toward the Student Union.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be looking for Teacher Duanmu in the depths of the Treasure Trove to exchange Device Pieces?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, who followed him flying upward in the cave, asked curiously.


    ¡°Only Golden Core Cultivators can descend to the place where Teacher Duanmu resides. So, in order not to delay the opening of the Device Nurturing Sphere, we generally go to Teacher Luo Hezheng for exchanging Device Pieces.¡±


    Chen Mobai was patient in explaining to Zhongli Tianyu who, aside from cultivation, had little knowledge about anything else.


    ¡°I see. It¡¯s a shame that I¡¯ve just drawn the power from the Li Gua in my Bagua Mirror; I¡¯m not yet proficient in using it. It only works on me. Otherwise, I could have taken you to see Teacher Duanmu.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu regretfully said, causing Chen Mobai to ponder.


    Soon, both of them arrived at the three-story building of the Student Union.


    Unexpectedly, all three vice presidents were there, along with the resigned Hua Zijing. They were on the first floor, looking serious as if about to go out.


    ¡°President.¡±


    Everyone was thrilled at the sight of Chen Mobai walking in.


    However, when they saw Zhongli Tianyu following in, their expressions turned strange.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    Mi Yudao asked from one side.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? We only had a friendly match, and you all act as if we have had a severe fight.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw their expressions and knew what was happening. He laughed and shook his head.


    ¡°Did you win or lose?¡±


    Only the bold Zijing, who had already resigned and was probably used to this place, would ask this question. She would come over from time to time to spend time with the cat.


    ¡°You could say I had a half point advantage. The power of Zhongli student¡¯s Thunder method is so strong that even the top students from the other three Daoist Academies wouldn¡¯t have too much advantage over him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zhongli Tianyu, who was acting stiff behind him, relax a bit.


    ¡°I knew it. You don¡¯t have to worry at all about magic duels, but they were scared you might get hurt.¡±


    Hua Zijing¡¯s words made the others feel a little awkward. Mi Yudao, in particular, lowered his head in embarrassment as he was the one who had exaggerated and made the group think that Zhongli Tianyu was very angry and that this duel might turn bloody, causing others to worry as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s rare to hear you praising me.¡±


    Hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai playfully responded, earning him an eye roll from the latter who was busy with a cat.


    ¡°Tiansuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured to Lu Tiansuan, this year¡¯s promoted vice president who managed the Map of Treasures credit check system.


    ¡°President, what can I do for you?¡±


    Lu Tiansuan walked over with confusion on his face.


    ¡°I remember that the Student Union¡¯s annual 5-credit grant hasn¡¯t been issued yet?¡±


    ¡°Right, the names are usually confirmed after the final exams, and then sent to the academic department for approval.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m just short of some credit points to exchange for a device piece, so you might as well give me my five now.¡±


    ¡°This¡­alright, president.¡±


    Although Lu Tiansuan is upright, he¡¯s not pedantic. Every year, the students¡¯ union presents an award of five credit points to 10 excellent members, but no matter what, the president and the three vice presidents are always on the list.


    And who doesn¡¯t know that the director of Academic Affairs is Chen Mobai¡¯s teacher?


    Chen Mobai receiving his award in advance can be considered reasonable.


    His help in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres over the last two years has stimulated many to actively consult the Map of Treasures. After all, once the external identification is completed, a comparison to the design is still needed to determine the grade and function of the magic artifact.


    Thanks to this, other union members have also benefited from Map of Treasure credit points over the course of these two years.


    Especially recently, Chen Mobai had identified 186 Device Nurturing Spheres for people. A single consultation of the Map of Treasures would translate into two credit points, resulting in an overall net benefit of 372 credit points. After deducting half for the Daoist Academy, it translates to each of the 36 student union members receiving five credit points.


    It¡¯s precisely for this reason that, although Chen Mobai was often absent from the students¡¯ union during these two years, everyone recognizes him as the rightful president.


    No surprise there, as the benefits under him have greatly exceeded those during Zuo Qiushi¡¯s tenure.


    ¡°You guys carry on as usual. In the next few days, we may have a couple of graduating seniors coming over. Zijing, could you please attend to them?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already resigned.¡±


    Hua Zijing, who was busy petting a cat, grumbled. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smack his forehead. He had gotten used to her presence.


    ¡°Then Jialan will have to make do for now. Tianyu and I are going to meet another senior sister.¡±


    After hearing this, the confused Zhongli Tianyu, who had been standing by the door since they entered, looked up.


    When did they discuss meeting a senior sister?


    Chen Mobai, having accumulated 100 credit points, left the students¡¯ union with Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°I¡¯m not particularly interested in senior sisters.¡±


    While crossing the Nether River, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly said something that almost made Chen Mobai trip.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we were going to meet a senior sister? Isn¡¯t it an introduction?¡±


    ¡°The way your mind works¡­I am going to exchange for a device piece from Teacher Duanmu. Coincidentally, there¡¯s a senior sister there who will be participating in the offline exchange meeting with us. We might as well get to know her.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that was a misunderstanding.¡±


    When Zhongli Tianyu said this, he didn¡¯t seem embarrassed at all.


    Chen Mobai was very curious about the environment in which he grew up. Just what kind of place was the Zhongli Family to have cultivated such an unusual character?


    Zhongli Tianyu: ¡°The temperature in the depths of the Treasure Trove is very high. My Bagua Mirror can only protect me. Can your mirror protect you too?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°No worries, I have a special constitution that can withstand high temperatures. By the way, since you don¡¯t use a device piece to open Device Nurturing Spheres, is this done with the approval of the Daoist Academy? Wouldn¡¯t you save 200 credit points by just using two pieces?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu: ¡°These were originally sealed by the members of our family. I just took them back. Now that you mentioned it, do I need to pay additional credit points?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°We¡¯re going to meet with Teacher Duanmu shortly, let¡¯s ask about this later.¡±


    One has a separating symbol for protection, and the other has a Fire Spirit Body, both quickly descended to the space above the underground magma flow.


    In this furnace environment where even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be burned, they were effortlessly positioned in front of the dark red island at the center.


    Just as they were about to land, a sky-shaking dragon chant echoed, making the surrounding magma boil and explode. A white dragon flew out of the magma, with a terrifying momentum, it soared directly into the sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face subtly changed, five fingers on his right hand shone in five colors, and a terrifying sword array was ready to be launched between the rotations of the Five Element Sword Lights.

    Zhongli Tianyu, standing next to him, also held his Bagua Mirror tightly, the Zhen Hexagram appeared, covering his entire body, and the purple thunder flashed.


    However, the white dragon had no intentions towards them. It seemed to be weak after being baptized in the magma and after taking a glance at them, flew into the island.


    ¡°You two can come over now.¡±


    About a quarter of an hour later, Duanmu Longrong¡¯s voice sounded in their ears.


    Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu dispelled their respective spiritual powers and landed.

 Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_1

    Chapter 492: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_1


    Chen Mobai and his companion landed on the island and met Duanmu Longrong.


    Alongside her, stood a woman dressed in a lady¡¯s dress, tall and graceful, with a slightly pale face and almost translucent skin.


    ¡°Greetings, Teacher Duanmu. This must be Sister Bian.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted the two. In this offline exchange, Che Yucheng rallied three Rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates, Bian Jingchun being the most highly anticipated, and even granted her a Rank-4 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Hello, my two junior brothers.¡±


    She was indeed Bian Jingchun and after a slight nod, she politely bowed to Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°That white dragon earlier was yours, wasn¡¯t it? Surprisingly, there¡¯s still someone who practices the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was pondering how to start the conversation, Zhongli Tianyu, who was by his side, was staring directly at Bian Jingchun and asked a very straightforward question.


    ¡°The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, evolved by our ancestor Zhongli from the Six Divine Skills mentioned in the Six Divine Beast Sutras, is a great boon to us, the less talented cultivators. Its value is no less than that of teachings.¡±


    Between her words, Bian Jingchun gave another bow to Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°The ancestor is the ancestor. You don¡¯t have to bow to me. I can¡¯t bear it.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shook his head and dodged to the side.


    ¡°What is the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai, not understanding, asked. Although he could consult the internet on his phone, there were two knowledgeable individuals beside him, so he preferred to ask directly.


    ¡°The Six Divine Beast Sutras of Kunpeng Daoist Institute are the six innate divine skills of the mythical Candle Dragon. Even the most talented among us humans can only pick one from these to practice, and to integrate all six would require a transformation into a Candle Dragon.¡±


    ¡°However, the blood of the Candle Dragon was used up within a thousand years of the founding of the Daoist sects, thus no subsequent disciples were able to fully master the Six Divine Beast Sutras. It wasn¡¯t until our ancestor Zhongli found an alternative, using the Six Divine Beast Sutras as the foundation to create the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, that the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was evolved, and thus the complete six parts of the technique could be controlled through the principles of the Later Heaven Bagua.¡±


    ¡°Only a drop of Black Tortoise blood is required for practicing the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, which significantly lowered the barrier for entry. However, to revert the ordinary turtle essence blood back to its origin and cultivate the Xuanwu Phenomenon takes a thousand years.¡±


    At this point, Zhongli Tianyu looked puzzledly at Bian Jingchun. Although she also followed the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, she seemed to have not used the turtle essence blood.


    ¡°I used a drop of Rank-3 white snake essence blood.¡±


    ¡°The Xuanwu taught in the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique is a combination of turtle and snake. In my family, there was a senior named Baiyun who also learned this technique when he entered the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, but his constitution was more suited to transform into a snake.¡±


    ¡°It was already a monumental task for our ancestors to master the Sky Snake form, let alone dream of achieving the Xuanwu state. Therefore, they focused on the Sky Snake Transformation, and based on the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, they created the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, which evolved into the white dragon form I had just used.¡±


    Bian Jingchun disclosed her cultivation technique without hesitation.


    ¡°The Spiritual Control Technique!¡±


    Chen Mobai had an epiphany after hearing this.


    He remembered Gong Xiangyu¡¯s method of magic duel back in Red Sandstone City.


    The Beast Tamer, one of the three major professions in the sect, has the Spiritual Control Technique, which although is the most difficult, can also lead to the highest achievements.


    Ordinary Beast Taming involves forming an understanding between the cultivator and the spirit beast, making it a two-against-one situation in battle.


    However, the Spiritual Control Technique involves absorbing the essence blood of spirit beasts and evolving various abnormal transformations that exceed human capacity, mimicking the law of nature.


    The highest achievers in this field were Zhongli¡¯s Ancestor, with his Dragon Tortoise Primordial Spirit, and the founder of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute with his Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit. Once their respective Phenomena Primordial Spirit manifested, they could command all phenomena in the universe, controlling all elemental energy transformations, and were thus known for their endless divine abilities and boundless magical power.


    ¡°Despite the name ¡®Dragon Transformation,¡¯ in my ancestor¡¯s scripture, the Sky Snake form does not actually lead to dragon transformation.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu knew the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in his family quite well. Despite their tribe no longer practicing this technique, he was quite familiar with it. He pointed out the error in Bian Jingchun¡¯s previous words.


    ¡°The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique does comprise both the turtle and snake forms. However, due to the scarcity of resources in this realm, the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was the only form that our ancestor was able to cultivate.¡±


    ¡°Your ancestor Baiyun must have received the annotations of the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique that were written by our ancestor Zhongli when he taught at Kunpeng Daoist Institute.¡±


    ¡°According to our ancestor¡¯s inference, only when both the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit and the Sky Snake Primordial Spirit were fully cultivated, would he have attempted to combine the two, transform into Xuanwu, and ascend beyond Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Beyond Divinity Transformation!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a jolt in his heart, his face showing admiration.


    Of course, he knew what lay beyond Divinity Transformation. After one reached Perfection of Spirit Transformation in the Tianhe Realm, the next step was Ascendance.


    He had initially thought that the Daoist sect was far inferior in strength to the Tianhe Realm, but now he learned that someone had indeed touched the threshold of Ascendance.

    It was a pity that even the astoundingly gifted Zhongli¡¯s Ancestor had not survived to progress the Spiritual Control Technique into the Xuanwu Phenomenon.


    ¡°So, the path of transforming into a dragon via the Sky Snake form, is it a wrong path?¡±


    After hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun was momentarily stunned.


    The official Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique focuses on cultivating the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit, while the annotations focus on cultivating the Sky Snake Primordial Spirit. The subsequent combination of the turtle and snake forms into Xuanwu is only treasured by the Zhongli family, hence even the Daoist sects don¡¯t have it.


    ¡°We can¡¯t exactly say it was a mistake. Your lineage¡¯s Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture has carved out its own path, transforming from snake to dragon, which I think is quite cool.¡±

 Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_2

    Chapter 493: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_2


    Upon hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, everyone present displayed peculiar expressions. If it were any other members of the Zhongli family, they would be filled with indignation upon seeing the founder¡¯s Daoist technique being altered. But instead, he seemed somewhat excited.


    ¡°Only the Zhongli family¡¯s founder has managed to cultivate his Primordial Spirit through the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique. The rest of the immortality seekers in the Immortal Sect could only reach the Nascent Soul stage at most. Moreover, due to the enormous resources and time consumed to revert the essence blood of turtles back to their origin, no one has practiced it in the last three hundred years.¡±


    At this moment, Duanmu Longrong suddenly spoke, drawing Bian Jingchun¡¯s attention back.


    All members of the Immortal Sect are educated from a young age that the best cultivation technique is one that fits them best.


    The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique was uniquely created by the founder of the Zhongli for his six mastery skills. His achievement of the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was possible largely due to the abundance of resources from a different world obtained during the initial war.


    Even if the Zhongli family¡¯s founder reincarnated and tried to practice the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in today¡¯s Immortal Sect environment, he would probably find it difficult to attain the Primordial Spirit stage again.


    ¡°You¡¯re doing well in your practice of the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, just keep going.¡±


    After hearing Duanmu Longrong¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun became resolute and thanked her for her guidance.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu, I came here to exchange a Device Piece this time. Also, I wanted to let Senior Bian know that we¡¯re going to the Daoist Academy of Jumang in half a month.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he handed his student card to Duanmu Longrong. After her verification and deduction of 100 credits, she returned the card and a Device Piece to him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be there on time.¡±


    Bian Jingchun nodded with a smile.


    ¡°No, you should leave with him now.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong suddenly spoke, leaving Bian Jingchun stunned and a little at a loss.


    ¡°After your Dragon Transformation this time, you will need about ten days to recover your Elemental Energy. I wouldn¡¯t let you do another Spirit Control here anyway, so it¡¯s about time for you two to leave.¡±


    After hearing Duanmu Longrong¡¯s words, both Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy has given her the True Dragon Ding. Since it was made from the Dragon Pulse of a different world during the war, it suits her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture technique perfectly. But her Cultivation Level is still low, and she can barely refine it using the power of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, but only to the extent of one strike.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Duanmu Longrong suddenly stopped him. Pointing at Bian Jingchun next to him, she said earnestly.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu suggests that we shouldn¡¯t let Senior Bian use the True Dragon Ding for the second time during the exchange.¡±


    ¡°Yes, you have managed the student council well for two years. Everything in and out of the Daoist Academy has been in order. I am reassured by your steady work. However, she is a bit stubborn. In order to maintain the reputation of the Daoist Academy, she might impulsively use the True Dragon Ding regardless of her ability to handle it.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong nodded, while Bian Jingchun looked a little embarrassed, her nearly transparent white skin flushing.


    ¡°Lan Haitian has gone into seclusion, and Yan Qiongzhi isn¡¯t interested in such matters. Perhaps there isn¡¯t a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Daoist Academy who could force Senior Bian to use the True Dragon Ding?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, and Duanmu Longrong thought about it and found it quite true.


    Bian Jingchun, having reached the power nearing Rank-3 with the Dragon Transformation Technique, not even graduated chief students from long ago may be her match among the students in the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s just an exchange. Even if you lose, it doesn¡¯t matter. What matters to us cultivators is who lives the longest.¡±


    After saying this to them, Duanmu Longrong waved her sleeve. The three of them just felt a lightness in their body, a flash of rainbow light before their eyes and they were no longer on the island.


    When they came to their senses, they had already left the underground lava area.


    Admiring the power of a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai returned to the Student Council on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± along with Bian Jingchun and Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡±


    Just as they stepped onto the plaza, Hua Zijing, who was sitting on the second-floor balcony petting her cat, noticed them and looked curious upon seeing the elegant lady, Bian Jingchun.


    She had a sense of familiarity about her.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, when I was the President of the Student Council, I used to enjoy sunbathing here.¡±


    Bian Jingchun looked at Hua Zijing on the balcony, covered the lower half of her face with her long sleeve, and gave a slight smile.


    ¡°Hello, senior!¡±


    After hearing the introduction from Chen Mobai and learning that Bian Jingchun was the chief graduate from the Daoist Academy 20 years ago, Hua Zijing immediately stood up on the balcony to salute her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, when I graduated, my cultivation level was about the same as yours.¡±


    Seeing that the two women knew each other, Chen Mobai was able to comfortably delegate, handing Bian Jingchun over to Hua Zijing.


    When he and Zhongli Tianyu walked into the office, Hua Zijing finally reacted. Despite having already stepped down, she was still helping, but seeing the elegant Bian Jingchun next to her, she could only grit her teeth and continue with the reception.


    ¡°Do you recognize this array plate?¡±


    In the chairman¡¯s office on the third floor, after activating the Device Nurturing Sphere with a device piece, Chen Mobai stared at the triangular array plate in his palm, posing the question to Zhongli Tianyu in a slightly puzzled manner.


    This array plate surprisingly had no information on the Map of Treasures.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shook his head straightforwardly.


    ¡°Then why did you make me open it?¡±


    ¡°Because this array plate has withstood the influence of the Li Gua for a hundred years, it¡¯s obvious that their powers share the same origin. It will definitely be useful for your mirror.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu stated confidently. Given his understanding of the Bagua Mirror, he was certain he could not go wrong.


    ¡°Bro, are you at school? I have an array plate that I want you to help me examine.¡±


    With Zhongli Tianyu being unreliable, Chen Mobai could only make a call to his good buddy Yunyang Bing. Soon, his buddy came over, bringing along another genius of the Array Department from the Metaphysical Class, Jin Shuwei.


    ¡°It seems like this is the ¡®Three Yang One Breath Array¡¯.¡±


    Yunyang Bing specialized in ground array. whereas Jin Shuwei concentrated on the Sky Array. After examining the triangular array plate, they reached a conclusion.


    Chen Mobai then gave up his seat to them. Using the student council¡¯s computer on the desk, they quickly began searching the database for alumni who had crafted the ¡°Three Yang One Breath Array¡±, rapidly narrowing their options down to sixteen graduates.


    After a thorough comparison and review, they finally confirmed their conclusion beyond any doubt.


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of this formation?¡±


    ¡°Combined with three flying swords, it can establish a Sword Array, which can transform Sword Qi into Primordial Yang Sword Light.¡±


    After their inspection, jointly activating the array plate, a surge of soothing Yang energy effused from it, making everyone in the room feel a wave of warmth and comfort.


    ¡°And without the flying swords, the array plate alone can also maintain temperature within a certain range at the level most comfortable for the human body. The range depends on the spiritual power and spiritual energy infused.¡±


    The ¡®Three Yang¡¯ represented the Sword Array, and the ¡®One Breath¡¯ represented the Constant Temperature Field.


    Chen Mobai only drew the array plate, not the flying swords.


    Which meant, if he wished to use the Three Yang Sword Array, he¡¯d need to match it with three suitable flying swords of his own.


    And even if he manages to do so, the power reached would just be of the Sword Light level.


    Chen Mobai had already trained the Sword Sha by now. For a mere Sword Light, it seemed nowhere near impressive.


    This was a total loss.


    He lost 100 credits just like that. Chen Mobai shot a glance at Zhongli Tianyu, who was sitting on the chair.


    ¡°This array plate has absorbed some power of the Li Gua. You could try extracting it to infuse into your mirror. There¡¯s no way you can lose.¡±


    ¡°Doing so would just give a minuscule boost to the power of a Rank-3 magic artifact, and this array plate would definitely be ruined in the process.¡±

    Yunyang Bing and Jin Shuwei both advised against it.


    At this point, Chen Mobai also thought of taking the Constant Temperature Formation to South Mountain and see whether it could be used in conjunction with Yimu Thunder Water to promote the maturation of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and shorten the growth cycle.


    Though Constant Temperature Formations are commonplace in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai had not seen them in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The cultivators there would warm up or cool down themselves when it was too cold or hot.


    Moreover, speaking of Yuan Yang Sword Light, he had a Gourd Huoyang Sha in hand, which could be used to forge a ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Evil¡±.

 Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_1

    Chapter 494: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_1


    After confirming his attendance to the offline exchange meeting at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai once again went into closed-door cultivation.


    He intends to cultivate another Sword Sha.


    According to Zuo Gong, if he wanted to withstand the power of Sword Sha with his physical body, he would need to undergo special enhancements, such as his Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm.


    The main reason Chen Mobai was able to cultivate the Azure Flame Sword Sha and nourish it within his Dantian Qi Sea is because he now possesses a Fire Spirit Body, and as such, is basically immune to the majority of fire-attribute powers.


    However, outside of the fire element, if he also wanted to physically withstand the other four elements, it would be impossible.


    Chen Mobai had seen Zuo Gong¡¯s Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm. Its cultivation surprisingly required the assistance of four other experts to balance the five elements. However, Zuo Gong also said that it was a result of his joint deduction with several Sword Dao experts based on his own constitution and is mainly suitable for him.


    Chen Mobai extracted the thoughts from it, then imported it into the No Form Puppet, placed the Spirit Stone and began to deduce.


    With Zuo Gong¡¯s successful direction, the No Form Puppet¡¯s deduction had a core. Even though the speed was not fast, at least there was progress every moment.


    After spending nearly twenty intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, the No Form Puppet deduced the Five Element Sword Qi, most suitable for Chen Mobai.


    This Five Element Sword Qi is to strengthen his five fingers and then use the method of Array Refining into Body to build the Five Element Sword Sha into five fingers. Finally, the sword array is formed with one hand, and the enemy is defeated.


    Chen Mobai checked the deduction process and found that some of the random contents that had been imported before were integrated.


    When he got the Underworld Array, he asked Yunyang Bing to teach him Array Refining into Body and was obsessed with this knowledge for a while.


    He later imported Array Refining materials given by Yunyang Bing and those he collected himself into the No Form Puppet for deduction, but the result showed that he needed to cultivate a powerful Body Refining Technique.


    Chen Mobai knew the importance and naturally focused on increasing realm, putting the Underworld Array and Array Refining into Body to one side.


    However, these data were still stored in the No Form Puppet, and they got used this time.


    And this time, as the No Form Puppet deduced the Five Element Sword Qi, it simultaneously included a Body Refining Technique.


    It also used the previously imported body data and related materials. Under its deduction, the remaining Tree Juice could be used to strengthen the fingertips of the five fingers separately. Combined with the vitalizing power of Camelweed, the theoretical enhancement of finger strength could withstand the Five Element Sword Sha.


    Originally, Chen Mobai obtained 30 drops of Tree Juice from the Magic Treasure Tree. After refining into the skull, there was still some left.


    According to this method, Chen Mobai had previously refined five drops of Tree Juice into the fingertips bones of his right hand. Under the Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique, he easily completed the cultivation of Longevity Dao Body Finger Bones.


    However, because the physical strength of his fingers was not enough, he could not bear the Sword Sha entering his body.


    But the second-rank Five Element Sword Qi Array Formation was no problem.


    Chen Mobai was aware of his own comprehension level, he did not cultivate those high-end and difficult Sword Techniques. In addition to his own Purple Fire Sword Light, Divine Wood Sword Light, and Black Ice Sword Light, he chose Zuo Gong¡¯s Geng Metal Sword Qi for the gold attribute and Earth Sword Glow for the earth attribute.


    The Gengjin Sword Art was the most popular in the Immortal Gate. It focused on speed and sharpness, highlighting the two characteristics of sword cultivators. It was also the most practiced, and all the difficult levels had been crossed by others.


    As for the Earth Sword Glow, it came from the ¡°Wu Earth True Method¡± which he obtained when he went to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion with Zhuo Ming to choose a main cultivation technique. This dirt vein technique of the Five Element Sect contained everything, just like the Longevity Sutra.


    Chen Mobai practiced a bit and quickly cultivated its Sword Light.


    The reason for choosing this technique to cultivate the Sword Light was also due to another important reason. Once this Earth Wuxu True Method is perfected, it can connect to the Supreme Technique of the Five Element Sect ¨C Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Chen Mobai believed that he is now in a position to aspire to the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    He will study it now, perhaps in the future the Divine Wood Sect will counterattack the Five Element Sect and replace the Earth Vein to become the orthodox Five Element Sect.


    With this idea, Chen Mobai quickly cultivated the Five Element Sword Light, then transformed the Sword Light into an array and refined it into the fingertips.


    Subsequently, as long as the physical strength is improved, he can try to form Sword Sha with Five Element Sword Light.


    However, the Rank-3 medicinal herb, Camelweed, needs a professional Alchemist to make medicine paste. Since Wang Xingyu hasn¡¯t left the closed-door cultivation, Chen Mobai had to ask Qing Nu again, then went to Xiao Nanshan again and asked Luo Yixuan to collect additional auxiliary medicines.

    In addition to deducing the Five Element Sword Qi, the No Form Puppet also deduced another method for condensing Sword Sha.


    If the body can¡¯t withstand it without forging, then condense the Sword Sha outside of the body and don¡¯t take it into the body after it is formed, as if refining an external Magic Artifact that can store Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai originally wanted to try it after he cultivated the Five Element Sword Sha, but after activating the Three Yang One Qi Array Plate today, he thought of the Gourd Huoyang Sha in his storage bag.


    I can use the Three Yang Sword Array to generate Yuan Yang Sword Light, saving the time it would take for him to cultivate and transform.


    Although Sword Light Transformation can condense attribute-less Sword Light, if he wants to transform into Yuan Yang Sword Light, he still needs to be familiar with the Yuan Yang Sword Secret and at least learn the method of condensing Sword Light.

 Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_2

    Chapter 495: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_2


    For this reason, the Five Elements Sword Light, chosen by Chen Mobai, apart from the three he naturally possesses, the remaining Geng Metal and Wu Earth are easy to start with, but difficult to master.


    In order to utilize the Array Plate to generate Yuan Yang Sword Light, three Yang-attribute Flying Swords are required.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s extensive network came into play. After calling out in the Metaphysical Class and student council groups, the people in the groups helped to ask around in their respective circles, and before long, three Rank-2 Flying Swords that met the requirements were borrowed.


    Once the items were assembled, Chen Mobai immediately rented a Rank-3 Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room at the Ninth Building of Crimson Mountain.


    The triangular Array Plate was held in his palm, while three Flying Swords were levitated in the air with their hilts pointing downwards under the manipulation of his Divine Sense. The extremely pure Pure Yang Spiritual Power surged from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, continuously infusing into the Array Plate.


    The Array Plate started, brightly lighting up with yellow Spiritual Light, which ascended like a rainbow and infused into the hilt of the Flying Sword closest to Chen Mobai.


    After the first Flying Sword had absorbed enough Spiritual Power, it began to hum, whereupon the Lesser Yang Sword Qi exhaled from the tip and fell back into the Array Plate below.


    The Array Plate transformed and ascended another rainbow light, infusing into the hilt of the second Flying Sword. After the cycle of Middle Yang Sword Qi was complete, it was time for the Old Yang Sword Qi.


    Once all three Yang Sword Qi were formed, they finally converged again on the Array Plate.


    A clear and bright yellow Sword Light formed under the surround of the three Flying Swords at the center of the Array Plate.


    The Sword Light was unfathomable and upright.


    This was the Yuan Yang Sword Light!


    Within the Immortal Sect, it could be said to be one of the highest quality Sword Lights.


    Only because Chen Mobai was practicing the Pure Yang Scroll of the same origin, and had the assistance of this Three Yang Sword Formation, could he produce it so effortlessly.


    After the Yuan Yang Sword Light was generated, it could be considered to condense the Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai took out the Gourd Huoyang Sha that he had prepared in advance from his storage bag.


    He looked carefully at the Yellow Skin Gourd again.


    When he first bought the Qi of the Land of the Dead on Rolling Thunder Mountain, he did not notice it. It was only after playing with it several times later that he realised that this gourd was not ordinary, but a Rank-2 Spirit Plant.


    Only items of this grade can contain Rank-2 Evil Qi for a long time without damaging its spirituality.


    If other Rank-2 Evil Qi want to be stored for a long period of time, they must be refined into Evil Qi Crystals.


    For instance, the Green Wood Evil that Chen Mobai obtained before, which was not used by Xie Yuntian, was intact and nurtured in the Land of the Dead by the sect.


    Since this Yellow Skin Gourd can hold Huoyang Sha, if he pays a little attention, it might be able to cultivate Yuan Yang Sword Sha.


    After Chen Mobai confirmed that the external Sword Sha method deduced by the Nothingness Clan was okay, he recalled the content of the Yuan Yang Sword Secret¡¯s Condensing Sha that he downloaded from the National Library of the Immortal Sect. Then, he used his Divine Sense to fly the Yuan Yang Sword Qi generated by the Three Yang Sword Array in front of him. After changing the direction, he slowly fell into the Yellow Skin Gourd.


    Under the observation of the Void Spirit Eye, dark and red Qi flow in the gourd began to diverge after the Yuan Yang Sword Light was infused, forming a hollow vortex flow of Sha.


    But Chen Mobai was keen to have Sword Light condense to Sha.


    He immediately released his Divine Sense, and a leaf from the jade green parasol tree branch snapped off, transformed into an invisible blade and surged into the Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    With his control, the Yuan Yang Sword Light slowly retracted its edges, and the previously avoided Huoyang Sha, like retreating tide followed by an incoming tide, rushed towards the bright yellow Sword Light in the center of the gourd.


    The dark red Qi stream gradually seeped into the bright yellow Sword Light, dyeing it with a layer of rainbow light. It became even brighter and golden yellow, forming an orange-red color reminiscent of the dawn of the sunrise.


    This was the Yuan Yang Sword Sha!


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel joy inside.


    It was truly worth spending twenty intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, as the Five Elements Sword technique pointed out and the external Sword Sha method deduced by the Nothingness Puppet was indeed feasible.


    After ten days, when he had condensed all of the Gourd Huoyang Sha into Yuan Yang Sword Sha, Chen Mobai went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to test its power.


    He held the Yellow Skin Gourd in his hand, gave it a gentle shake towards a patch of forest before him. A magnificent orange light burst from the mouth of the gourd. All the places it went by, the Red-sun Spirit Trees were cut in half at the waist.


    Chen Mobai swung the gourd left and right, there was not a single intact Red-sun Spirit Tree within a thousand-meter diameter around him.


    Looking at the once lush forest around him that turned into a barren logging field in an instant, he felt that he had been late in practicing this gourd. If he had this thing when he just joined the Divine Wood Sect, why would he need to laboriously cut trees with a chainsaw.


    After testing the power of the gourd a few times, Chen Mobai satisfiedly retracted the orange radiance.


    He had already given this external Sword Sha technique a very appropriate name.


    Gourd Sword Art!


    He has just cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Evil. If he has the chance in the future, he could include the Xuan Yin Sword Evil as well, by then, he will be able to hold Yin and Yang in this gourd, achieving the Two Rites Sword Evil formation of the Sword Destruction Collection.


    He didn¡¯t know if the gourd would still be able to bear it by then.


    Chen Mobai weighed his options. The Yellow Skin Gourd was able to handle the current Primordial Yang Sword Evil without any problems due to its high quality material.


    However, as his cultivation level becomes stronger, the power of his Sword Sha will also increase day by day. If he adds the Xuan Yin Sword Sha to form the Two Rites, the current gourd may not be sufficient.


    Nevertheless, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Ming Yuhua will return by the end of the year, he can ask him if he could solve this problem from the perspective of artifact refining.


    After cultivating the Gourd Sword Art, Chen Mobai tied it to his waist with a piece of hemp rope.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t expose his storage bag when exchanging skills offline, but he might need to use the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, so he simply hung it openly on his waist.


    Just when he was about to leave the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something.


    It had been a long time since he last tested his Spirit Root Attributes.


    He had previously checked the spiritual roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, finding that the former¡¯s Spiritual Root Value had exceeded 100. He guessed that after consuming the fruit of the Spirit Tree, he might improve his Wood Spirit Root.


    However, after reaching the state of Perfection in Foundation Establishment, he had been busy with various matters and had forgotten about this.


    Fortunately, while he was in the Divine Tree Secret Realm today, he remembered the Talent Tree, which is highly sensitive to changes in spiritual roots.


    Chen Mobai took out his Spirit-Testing Instruments and injected a stream of spiritual power into it.


    ¡°Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 46, Water 17, Fire 69, Earth 10¡±


    Seeing this value, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    After many years, he had finally turned himself into a true top-grade True Spirit Root.


    His Fire Spirit Root at 69 points was due to his Five Yang Body being close to completion.


    For over two years, he had been continuously using Spirit Stones to progress the Pure Yang Daoist Body, increasing his Fire Spirit Root by 6 points from the previous 63 points after having the Fire Spirit Body to 69 points now.


    However, correspondingly, both his Water and Wood Spirit Roots had lost 2 points.


    But his previously 26-point Wood Spirit Root has now become 46 points, which means that consuming three Spirit Tree Fruits has increased his Wood Spirit Root by 20 points.


    He wasn¡¯t exactly sure about how this increase came about, as he didn¡¯t use the Spirit-Testing Instruments every time he consumed a fruit, thus, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have a clear understanding.


    However, based on his many years of experience and Yue Zutao¡¯s example, he was able to come to a rough conclusion.


    Probably, after consuming the first fruit, his Wood Spirit Root increased by 10 points.


    Subsequently, while consuming the second and third fruit, his body developed resistance and the increased Wood Spirit Root continued to decrease, two fruits combined only increased by 10 points.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay much attention to the exact situation, after all, his gain was real and tangible benefits.


    No wonder he felt relaxed and happy practicing the techniques in the Longevity Sutra after reaching Perfection in Foundation Establishment.


    He originally thought it was because his realm had improved and everything appeared simpler. It turns out it was because his Wood Spirit Root had improved.

    On reaching the Talent Tree, Chen Mobai felt that he had lost out.


    He had consumed the fruits three times and experienced a change in his Spirit Root Attributes three times, which could have given him three gifts from the Talent Tree, but now he only got one.


    However, this feeling was only fleeting since he wasn¡¯t eager for the Daoist techniques of the Longevity Sect given his current realm and possession of the entire knowledge system of the Immortal Sect.


    He had previously received two fire attribute techniques for the two times his Fire Spirit Root had changed due to cultivating his Five Yang Body, but they were practically useless for him, as he hadn¡¯t even mastered the C Fire Divine Thunder yet.


    The reason why he came here each time his Spirit Root changed was simply out of habit.

 Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Chapter 345 I will make a move_1

    Chapter 496: Chapter 345 I will make a move_1


    Chen Mobai was savoring a newly acquired wood-based spell from the Talent Tree, feeling fairly odd.


    The spell was called ¡°Jia Wood Jue.¡±


    It seemed to be of the same kind as the ¡°Pure Qing Jue¡± he had used previously to enhance the Green-sun Fire, which was also used for enhancing spiritual objects.


    It¡¯s just that the Pure Qing Jue was for enhancing fire, while the Jia Wood Jue was for enhancing wood.


    This spell allowed one to select an ordinary Rank-1 Red Sun Wood, absorb the essence of about ninety-nine similarly ranked Red Sun Woods, and upgrade it to a Rank-2 Green-sun Wood.


    However, the Jia Wood Jue seemed to be incomplete.


    Logically, there should be subsequent Parts for upgrading Green-sun Wood to Golden Yang Wood and then Golden Yang Wood to Everlife Wood.


    However, what Chen Mobai received only included the method to upgrade Red Sun Wood to Green-sun Wood.


    That seemed less appealing to him.


    Although Green-sun Wood is indeed a precious spiritual object for Qi Practitioners and many Rank-2 magic puppet artifacts within the Divine Wood Sect were made from it, for Chen Mobai, it was not much use anymore.


    Had there been a part of the technique that entailed upgrading Green-sun Wood to Golden Yang Wood, he would have been much more excited.


    That¡¯s not to say it¡¯s completely useless.


    He had cut down quite a few Red-sun Spirit Trees in the Divine Tree Secret Realm using the Gourd Sword Art; now, those could be upgraded without being wasted, potentially producing tens of Green-sun Woods.


    Of course, he will postpone dealing with this until after he travels to the Jumang Daoist Academy, as the journey was impending.


    Luckily, leaving the wood exposed to the weather for a while wouldn¡¯t hurt.


    But then Chen Mobai thought that synthesizing the thousands of felled Red-sun Spirit Trees on his own would inevitably be a vast waste of his cultivation time.


    It seemed necessary to plan ahead and create puppets for processing.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and returned to the Immortal Gate.


    After he stepped out of Building Nine, he was bombarded with messages.


    It was Zijing reminding him to hurry up. They were about to leave for the Jumang Daoist Academy and he, as the core member and student council president, was still out of sight.


    ¡°Senior Sun, senior Chi, you¡¯re here too.¡±


    Within the student council¡¯s residence, Chen Mobai saw the other two Foundation Establishment rank-9 graduates that Che Yucheng had invited.


    This included Sun Daoji, who graduated at the top of his class twenty-five years ago and worked with Bian Jingchun in the student council for two years, making them quite familiar with each other.


    The other, Chi Shicheng, was the oldest in their batch, having graduated thirty-five years ago. He was not top of his class and, because he didn¡¯t like socializing, he focused on technology and is now a fellow at the Immortal Gate¡¯s Ancient Biology Research Department.


    Chi Shicheng agreed to go to the Jumang Daoist Academy because he needed to observe the Big Tree for a project he had piled up, which totally coincided with the trip.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve visited Crimson Mountain, and it¡¯s not changed at all.¡±


    Sun Daoji, a tall young man with a rugged face, quickly mingled with the members of the student council, unlike Chi Shicheng, who was quieter behind his rectangle glasses. As a former top student of the Daoist Academy, he got used to socializing quickly.


    ¡°I heard senior Sun went to Wangwu Cave Sky to establish a Gold Core domain five years ago. How did it go?¡±


    In the midst of conversation, Bian Jingchun asked a question she was very concerned about.


    In the Immortal Gate, Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators with no criminal record could apply to relevant Immortal Gate departments for the opening of a Gold Core domain, using a realm portal.


    Despite there being hundreds of Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators, the realm portal is very valuable, and every activation requires a personal intervention from a Nascent Soul cultivator.


    As top-level beings of the Immortal Gate, they naturally cannot be constantly on call for opening realms to establish a Gold Core domain.


    Thus, applications from Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators are temporarily put on hold by the Immortal Gate until a sufficient number have accumulated, at which time they are reported to the three Hall Masters. A free Nascent Soul cultivator is then invited to activate the realm portal.


    This process could take as little as ten years, or it could span two or three decades.


    Of course, there is one other scenario. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator successfully forms a Core, such a person could quickly arrange to use the Realm Portal to establish a Gold Core domain through the Immortal Gate¡¯s application process. In this case, Foundation Establishment cultivators who were already in line for realm establishment could take advantage of the situation.


    For this reason, once Immortal Gate cultivators reach rank-9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, they will immediately submit an application, knowing that they will have plenty of time to reach the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment while they wait.


    Bian Jingchun had just broken through to Foundation Establishment rank-9 three years ago, and she missed the opportunity five years previous when the Law Hall Master opened the portal.


    ¡°If I were successful, the Immortal Gate would have publicized it, and the whole world would know by now.¡±


    Sun Daoji joked, causing Bian Jingchun to let out a subtle smile.


    ¡°Out of the ten of us in the same batch, my performance was okay at best. I just managed to comprehend the Power of Void. The subsequent step of Shattering True Void to establish a domain, however, was completely beyond my reach.¡±

    ¡°Xia Hou Weihuan was the closest to succeeding, followed by Tao Mingqing from the Primordial Elemental Academy, and Lou Fengcheng from the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    ¡°They had all comprehended enough Power of Void, but failed in Shattering True Void. Even with the assistance of the realm portal, they couldn¡¯t establish and congeal the Gold Core domain.¡±


    After hearing Sun Daoji¡¯s words, the always silent Chi Shicheng chimed in.


    ¡°The key to creating a Gold Core domain lies in the first step. Only by absorbing sufficient Power of Void with your divine sense, can you shatter the True Void in the next step and create enough Void Fragments to congeal a domain.¡±


    Chi Shicheng graduated the earliest among those present, and his realm was already complete in the Foundation Establishment stage. He went to Wangwu Cave Sky to open the Gold Core domain using the realm portal before even Sun Daoji did.

 Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Chapter 345: I Will Take Action_2

    Chapter 497: Chapter 345: I Will Take Action_2


    ¡°Considering what Brother Chi has said, could it be that you have stepped into the latter two steps?¡±


    Sun Daoji¡¯s eyes sparkled, only those who had personally experienced the establishment of the Gold Core Domain could understand the meaning behind Chi Shicheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°My accumulation is insufficient, and I stopped upon reaching the Shattering True Void step, unable to glimpse the mystery of the final establishment.¡±


    Chi Shicheng sighed, this matter had always been a regret in his heart.


    ¡°Yes, I feel that even if I were to experience it a few more times, I probably won¡¯t be able to achieve that final step of establishment. I don¡¯t know how Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi managed to do it.¡±


    Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators that are still alive in the Immortal Sect, only Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi have opened the Gold Core Domain.


    It was precisely because he understood the difficulty of this, it made Sun Daoji respect them even more.


    ¡°Lan Haitian is incredibly talented, he has cultivated both the Yin and Yang parts of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique. The vibration of his Yuan Magnetic Force could naturally perceive the movement of the void. I estimate he had undergone relevant training and preparation long before opening the Gold Core Domain.¡±


    ¡°Due to Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s low key personality, there is not much information about her. Based on my theoretical analysis over the years, however, she could have temporarily elevated her Ice Spirit Power to the Vacuum Frozen Estate Realm, thus leading all others in the Shattering True Void step, establishing enough Void Fragments.¡±


    As a researcher, Chi Shicheng became more eloquent when speaking about these.


    ¡°Does that mean that Taishi Shu might also be successful in establishing the Gold Core Domain when she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing, also present in the room, expressed her surprise. After welcoming Bian Jingchun, it seemed she accepted Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng¡¯s arrivals and helped them arrange accommodations and meals.


    Therefore, during Chen Mobai¡¯s discussion and exchange, Hua Zijing also sat to the side and listened, cuddling her white cat.


    Apart from her, Zhongli Tianyu and Zhuang Jialan were also present. The former, being the designated next president, had already set up a mascot at the student union under Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement.


    ¡°Taishi Shu only cultivated the Yang part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique. If the bipolar Yuan magnet only becomes a single pole, I do not know whether it is helpful for opening the Gold Core Domain. However, as Kunpeng Daoist Institute is the number one Immortal Sect with the most heritage, it is not unlikely she might succeed.¡±


    Over the years, Taishi Shu had used her powers often in Little Red Sky, and her Cultivation Technique was easily scrutinized.


    She used the power of the Yuan Magnet but it wasn¡¯t as domineering and mature as Lan Haitian¡¯s. Even so, she was already invincible except for veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    Even if only one part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique is cultivated, it is extremely formidable.


    Chen Mobai barely managed to use Sword Light when he was nearly caught off guard by Nangong Xiu, who had merely cultivated the Rain part.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if the Gold Core Domain is not cultivated. Worst comes to worst, just try it after reaching Core Formation.¡±


    Sun Daoji laughed heartily, comforting himself.


    Chen Mobai immediately changed the topic and started discussing potential formidable opponents they might encounter at the offline exchange meeting.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang from Mountain Sea Academy passes with flying colors in Sword Dao Realm and has even inherited Hao Cao¡¯s teachings. It is rumored that even Lan Haitian wouldn¡¯t dare to confront her directly.¡±


    ¡°Wen Renshui from Jumang Daoist Institute, a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, is as low-key as Yan Qiongzhi. Although she reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment at graduation, it¡¯s been said that she has been cultivating the remaining two Spirit Root Enhancement Techniques these years, intending to gather and cultivate the three Heavenly Spiritual Roots of Lasting Spring Cultivation. It¡¯s unclear as to her current status.¡±


    ¡°In addition to these two female cultivators, Qi Huanzhi from Kunpeng Daoist Institute has cultivated the Light part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique and should not be underestimated. He has only ever lost to Lan Haitian.¡±


    The list of participants from all the major Daoist Academies attending this offline exchange was announced two days ago. While Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know many of the people on the list, Bian Jingchun and the others were quite familiar with them.


    They are all top-tier masters ranked in the top twenty among their circle of ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°If I were to face them in battle, I assume I could only hold out for a few dozen moves, enough to force out some of their abilities. If we want to win glory for our academy, Brother Chi and Sister Bian might be needed.¡±


    Sun Daoji was very self-aware. He clearly knew where he stood among the ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators and admitted that he wasn¡¯t too confident about facing off against opponents like Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°I am a researcher. My battle capability is average.¡±


    Meanwhile, Chi Shicheng sitting next to him opened his hands, indicating he was mainly there to observe the Big Tree and shouldn¡¯t be expected to battle.


    ¡°Brother Chi is being too modest. You have achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment and have the highest realm among us.¡±


    Sun Daoji looked unconvinced.


    ¡°What I¡¯m saying is true. If we¡¯re really talking about magic duels, I suspect I wouldn¡¯t even measure up to you.¡±


    Hearing Chi Shicheng¡¯s words, Sun Daoji was puzzled. Based on what he knew about Che Yucheng, he was sure that a capable expert should have been arranged to control the situation.


    If he had no confidence, and Chi Shicheng was a researcher, then there was only one option left.


    Everyone turned to look at Bian Jingchun who nodded and spoke honestly.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy lent me the True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Hearing this, Sun Daoji took a long breath of relief. As long as someone could handle things, it was fine.


    Chi Shicheng, on the other hand, started to sparkle. The Rank-4 True Dragon Ding was also related to a backlog of his department. He hoped to take this opportunity to research it well.


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally understood why Duanmu Longrong said those words to him when he was leaving.


    The Daoist Academy this time, in order to win a good reputation in the offline exchange, and not to be suppressed by the academies such as Taiyuan, Pure Yang, and Shanhai, might really need Bian Jingchun to harness the power of the True Dragon Ding.


    ¡°Sister Bian, the power of the True Dragon Ding is too domineering. If you encounter an opponent that you can¡¯t defeat, it¡¯s okay to give up. You can¡¯t harm your foundation because of the rankings of an offline exchange.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke to Bian Jingchun after he understood the matter.


    ¡°I know you are entrusted by Teacher Duanmu, but the Daoist Academy has nurtured me and lent me the True Dragon Ding to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique. If I can trade a few years of foundation for the title of being the first in the Daoist Academy, I would be more than happy.¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had been weak among the four for a long time. Although in the past two years, because of Chen Mobai¡¯s exaggerated undefeated record in Little Red Sky, it had regained some of its past glory.


    But in the eyes of some, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had merely produced a promising Chen Mobai.


    In terms of real strength, it fell short of the other three major Daoist Academies, and it might even be inferior to the top three academies among the top ten, such as Taiyuan.


    Bian Jingchun was proud to be a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. She wanted to take this opportunity to claim the first place for the Academy.


    Step by step, when Chen Mobai reaches the Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the future, he can once again support the academy.


    If the Dance Tool Dao Academy can maintain the first place in successive exchanges among the Daoist Academy, it can reestablish its glory and recover its status at its peak time.


    ¡°As for ranking, some people think it¡¯s important, but in my opinion, it¡¯s just a number.¡±


    ¡°In this exchange, no matter what our ranking in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, we will always be one of the four major academies, the Holy Land in the hearts of a million cultivators.¡±


    ¡°Dropping in rank for a few years is not a problem at all. After all, we only recruit a few tens of new students each year. Moreover, given the choice between the Daoist Academy and academies, ten thousand would choose the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Sun Daoji very satisfied.


    Indeed, the graduates of the Daoist Academy and other schools were at completely different levels.


    In the hearts of countless cultivators, the Four Major Daoist Academies were sacred places.


    Perhaps some sacred places were higher than others, but even the combined allure of the Ten Major Academies could not equal their Dance Tool Dao Academy.

    ¡°Since you said that, little brother, I¡¯ll agree to it. I will only call on the power of the True Dragon Ding once.¡±


    Bian Jingchun had no other option when she heard this and could only shake her head helplessly.


    ¡°No, sister, what I¡¯m saying is, you shouldn¡¯t use it at all.¡±


    ¡°In this offline exchange, you all just need to perform according to your normal level. Regardless of who comes from the academy this time, our Dance Tool Dao Academy will always be the first.¡±


    ¡°Because, I will take action!¡±

 Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Chapter 346: The First Appearance of Sword Sha_1

    Chapter 498: Chapter 346: The First Appearance of Sword Sha_1


    When Sun Daoji and the others heard Chen Mobai¡¯s confident words, they were all completely befuddled.


    ¡°Junior brother, although you¡¯ve been wreaking havoc within Little Red Sky, facing those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, especially those who have reached perfection at the ninth level, isn¡¯t something that can simply be resolved by generating Sword Light. Many of them have even gone farther than you on the path of Sword Light,¡±


    Bian Jingchun cautioned him in good intention. For instance, Xiahou Weihuan from Pure Yang Academy, whose Primordial Yang Sword Light has reached its peak and can only be suppressed by Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Yes, younger brother, in this offline exchange, maybe you can just participate a bit. If you meet those who are in the late stages of the Foundation Establishment challenging you, it¡¯s okay to admit defeat. Your talent is the strongest the Daoist Academy has seen in a century. The future holds great promise for you. You can always wait ten or twenty years to win.¡±


    Sun Daoji also joined in the persuasion.


    The current top disciple of the Daoist Academy has a cultivation level at only the third layer of Foundation Establishment, but his talent for Magic Duels is well-known throughout the Immortal Gate. Everyone believes that, given time to grow, Chen Mobai is invincible among his peers at the same cultivation level.


    The most fiercely debated thread on the Immortal Gate Forum in recent years is titled: ¡°If Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian are both at the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment level and the latter doesn¡¯t use the Gold Core domain, who would win?¡±


    This thread has sparked thousands of debates over the years.


    Thirty percent of people believe Chen Mobai can win, fifty percent believe Lan Haitian is invincible, and twenty percent believe that it would end in a draw.


    This result shocks many in the Immortal Gate.


    Lan Haitian has an illustrious reputation and is undeniably the top figure of the Foundation Building Realm. Chen Mobai is only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet thirty percent of people believe that at the same level, Chen Mobai can win!


    But these thirty percent have their reasons. Many have analyzed hundreds of Magic Duel videos where Chen Mobai ran amuck in Little Red Sky, which can all be found online.


    Most agree that despite this first disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy chiefly relying on his unbeatable Sword Light, many of his opponents have been at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. His easy and comfortable wins against stronger opponents demonstrate his far superior Magic Duel skills and awareness.


    His battles against Lu Qiulong and Nangong Xiu were hailed as peak battles, in which he defeated these geniuses of magic duels from the Immortal Gate despite being at a disadvantage in cultivation level, his Sword Dao, Technique Law, decisions, and on-the-spot judgments were all excellent, which is why he is referred to as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±.


    ¡°Although there is a saying that ¡®power shifts from one side to the other in thirty years, never underestimate the young and poor,¡¯ I don¡¯t want to wait that long. I want to restore the glory of the academy this year.¡±


    Chen Mobai lightly laughed while speaking, and then, under the frowning and about-to-persuade-again faces of Sun Daoji and others, he spit out a ray of emerald-blue light from his mouth towards the window.


    At the moment when the light was flickering, everyone present felt their scalps tingle.


    The terrifyingly hot aura made them all feel their blood boil at the sight of the emerald-blue light. It felt as though they had fallen into a high-temperature furnace, and their whole bodies were drenched in sweat.


    ¡°This is ¡ª Sword Sha!¡±


    Chi Shicheng was the first to recognize it. He cried out in shock and stood up.


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly and retracted his Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°As you know, I come from Red Sandstone City. There, forests of jade-green phoenix trees abound. There¡¯s a Green Wood Evil Cave that the resource department of the Immortal Gate and the Red Dawn Institution have jointly revived. Although the price was steep, they sold me some Green Wood Evil because I¡¯m a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Among the seven types of earth sha that the Immortal Gate is allowed to mine, five represent the Five Elements.


    Because the essence of the Five Elements is the source of everything, it¡¯s easiest to break down and revive the Five Element Earth Sha.


    This is why Zuo Gong chose to cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Demon, because this sha can be purchased, and there¡¯s no need to artificially synthesize it by condensing the essence of the Five Elements themselves.


    Thanks to its unique conditions, the Red Dawn Institution does indeed have Green Wood Sha to collect, centered around that rank-4 jade-green phoenix tree.


    Every once in a while, the flagship store of the Red Dawn Institution on the Immortal Gate website will also put Green Wood Sha on sale.


    This is why Chen Mobai dared to reveal his Green Flames Sword Sha.


    ¡°Looking at the appearance of junior brother¡¯s Sword Sha, is it the Qingyang Sword Jue that evolved from the Pure Yang Scroll?¡±


    Chi Shicheng stared at Chen Mobai, his eyes shining brightly. The Sword Sha is typically cultivated by Jiedan Sword Cultivators, and among those at the Foundation Building Realm, only a few people have been able to cultivate it in a thousand years.


    The most famous of them is the one deeply associated with their Dance Tool Dao Academy, the old ancestor Bai Guang.


    This makes for a great research subject!


    ¡°Indeed, it is the Qingyang Sword Jue. However, I felt that this sword technique doesn¡¯t fully match my temperament, so I used the No-form Mannequin to re-enact the technique, making it perfectly aligned with my intentions. As a result, in practical training, my Sword Sha is slightly different from the orthodox Qingyang Sword Sha.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Green Flames Sword Sha may look similar to Qingyang Sword Sha, but they are completely different.


    But he¡¯d already come up with an excuse beforehand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Junior brother is indeed extraordinarily talented. With his talent in Sword Dao, I imagine he surpasses even Pei Qingshuang from the Mountain and Sea Academy.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Sun Daoji didn¡¯t doubt at all but believed him completely.


    Not just him, Bian Jingchun and Chi Shicheng also nodded and began praising Chen Mobai¡¯s exceptional Sword Dao talent.


    As for Hua Zijing, Zhuang Jialan, and Zhongli Tianyu, they¡¯re even more so.


    The first two have watched Chen Mobai¡¯s battles in Little Red Sky over the past two years. Although they had complaints about him frequently disappearing and not acting as the club president, they had blind faith in their club president¡¯s Magic Duel and Sword Dao talents.

 Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Chapter 346: The Initial Power of Sword Sha_2

    Chapter 499: Chapter 346: The Initial Power of Sword Sha_2


    Zhongli Tianyu was slightly puzzled, wondering wasn¡¯t Chen Mobai a master of the Thunder method?


    How come his Sword Dao was even stronger than the Thunder method!


    [It seems that during our last fight, he didn¡¯t want me to lose too quickly, too miserably, so he switched to the Thunder method, which he¡¯s not as good at.]


    Chen Mobai had no idea that Zhongli Tianyu was mentally praising him for being so powerful, yet so gentle.


    When facing the praises from the three elder graduates, he humbly responded, explaining that he had to mortgage his own factory to earn the Good Deed Points to purchase the Green Wood Evil. However, for the reputation of the Daoist Academy, he considered this sacrifice necessary.


    ¡°After you¡¯ve learned your Sword Sha, you probably haven¡¯t had any opponents to test it out on, right?¡±


    Bian Jingchun suddenly said with a light smile.


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Just so happens that my Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture has also made progress under the True Dragon Ding. I need a suitable opponent to test it out.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai struggled for a response.


    ¡°The power of my Sword Sha is hard to control, if it hurts senior sister¡­¡±


    ¡°President, you two can fight in a customized room within the Little Red Sky. This way, you can fully enjoy the sensation of exerting your full power without having to worry about injuring each other.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, who had been helping pour tea all along, offered a great suggestion.


    ¡°Right, right, I¡¯ve forgotten about that.¡±


    Chen Mobai, accustomed to the chaotic killing in the Little Red Sky rankings, had forgotten about this new feature that was brought about with the addition of the Primordial Yang Sword.


    ¡°Junior brother, please go full force.¡±


    When Bian Jingchun said this, she was full of fighting spirit. She felt that if she fully utilized the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, she would be able to fend off the Sword Sha attacks.


    Inside the Little Red Sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s projection gradually solidified. Opposite him, the tall and slender Bian Jingchun slightly bowed to him and then suddenly lit up in bright later. In an instant, she transformed into a white dragon, hovering in the sky.


    At the same time, others like Hua Zijing who knew the room password also entered to watch the match.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect that, even though senior sister Bian hasn¡¯t reached Core Formation, she has already reached Transform into a Dragon state. The True Dragon Ding is really extraordinary.¡±


    Chi Shicheng, a researcher of ancient life forms for whom dragons are a major topic, couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the sight of Bian Jingchun turning into a white dragon.


    Normally, the Transform into a Dragon state for a Foundation Establishment cultivator would only involve growing a pair of horns. If the cultivator¡¯s Demonic Beast blood level was higher, they might grow a couple of whiskers.


    But the way Bian Jingchun turned into a nearly fully-formed dragon is very rare.


    ¡°I remember when she was in the Daoist Academy, apart from the Transform into a Dragon technique, she also practiced Jade Bone Heavenly Vessel, Jade Muscle Immortal Body, and the Jade Dragon God¡¯s Mind Picture. With this foundation of three techniques, she can manifest this White Dragon form under the Qi of Dragon Vein of the True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Sun Daoji was student union president at the Dance Tool Dao Academy when Bian Jingchun joined. The Transform into a Dragon technique is a mystery, so he specially paid attention to it.


    It was because she divided her time between two Body Training Techniques and one Art of Divine Consciousness that Bian Jingchun only just reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment at the time of her graduation.


    But she was steadily improving, and now with her Transform into a Dragon technique completed, she could rank among the top twenty at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    If she leverages the power of the True Dragon Ding, it¡¯s estimated that apart from Lan Haitian, no one can be certain to win against her.


    ¡°It¡¯s starting.¡±


    Hua Zijing shouted.


    In the center of the battlefield, the slender white dragon opened its mouth and breathed out a stream of jade white air. It seemed like a cold frost wave, making all five of the spectators shiver involuntarily.


    In the face of such an attack, Chen Mobai, who did not have to worry about casualties or losing spiritual power, felt an exhilarating sense of freedom.


    Even he himself didn¡¯t know just how powerful he could be when giving his all.


    Today is a good day to try it out.


    He hope that Bian Jingchun could hold on a bit longer.


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, then opened his mouth to spit out a cyan streak of light. It shimmered like a raging mountain fire, and in an instant turned into a sweeping sky fire.


    As the Green Flames Sword Slaughter passed by, the jade white frost wave was cleaved apart, spilling to the sides.


    In a short while, a thin layer of frost snow covered the terrain beside Chen Mobai.


    But the Green Flames Sword Slaughter had also reached the white dragon at this time.


    It seemed like Bian Jingchun wanted to test the power of this Sword Sha, as she didn¡¯t avoid it. Her eyes emanated a crystalline jade light, and her entire body suddenly turned transparent, looking like a dragon sculpture made entirely of white crystal.


    Jade-colored scales shimmered to life, clearly visible.


    ¡°After transforming into a dragon, the strongest Dragon Scale defense can be compared to that of Rank-3.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu knew the Transform into a Dragon technique well, and upon seeing this, his eyebrows raised in surprise.


    The Qi of Dragon vein of True Dragon Ding could actually reach this level!


    ¡°The power of Sword Sha is truly of Rank-3, and as it comes from a Sword Cultivator, it is the strongest in offense. I¡¯m afraid Dragon Scales might not be able to withstand it.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sun Daoji didn¡¯t miss any detail of their confrontation as he expressed his opinion.


    By this time, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter had already intruded between the eyes of the white dragon.


    A series of diamond-shaped dragon scales lit up. Between the scale gaps, golden lines appeared, outlining a net that covered the entire body.


    This is the Dragon Scale defense, regardless of where the opponent¡¯s attack hits, it would have to contend with all the dragon scales.


    Only after bypassing the defense of all the dragon scales could one injure Bian Jingchun.

 Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: Chapter 346: Sword Shas Initial Display of Power_3

    Chapter 500: Chapter 346: Sword Sha¡¯s Initial Display of Power_3


    However, it was clear that the power of Sword Sha greatly exceeded Bian Jingchun¡¯s expectations.


    A pang of pain arose at her brow, Bian Jingchun felt that her dragon scale defense had barely resisted the sharpness of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. But as time went on, her dragon scales, under the assault of Sword Evil Slash, were being slowly worn down. Worse still, an invisible heat seeped through the external dragon scales, striking at her physical form.


    So hot!


    In no time, Bian Jingchun felt as if the blood in her body was starting to boil.


    Meanwhile, the pain in her brow began to feel intensely hot.


    Chen Mobai extended two fingers of his right hand and executed the Sun Raising Technique to enhance the power of flames. In an instant, the power of Green Flames Sword Slaughter was heightened to its peak.


    The Green Flames Sword Slaughter burned, eroded, and ignited, its triple power unleashed simultaneously. The white dragon transformed by Bian Jingchun barely held on.


    A layer of dragon scales guarding her form began to crack, the golden Scale Net also started to dim and shrink.


    The moment the Scale Net retracted to her brow, it would mean the absolute defeat of Bian Jingchun.


    But at that instant, Chen Mobai remembered they were in the Little Red Sky.


    This meant, he could disregard the damage to his opponent and his own loss.


    So, he performed the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±.


    The desperate method recorded in the Pure Yang Scroll, which exploded flames, was a destruction technique that exceeded his limits.


    If it were outside Little Red Sky, he would definitely refrain from performing Flame Explosion Technique, as it would mean the permanent loss of his painstakingly refined Green Flames Sword Slaughter, an irretrievable loss.


    But here, with Bian Jingchun¡¯s admirable Dragon Scale defense, Chen Mobai was curious to see the extent of Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡¯s power at full force.


    At this moment, under the shocked expressions of the onlooking spectators such as Hua Zijing, all with open mouths in disbelief.


    The white dragon, which was struggling mid-air, was caught in a dazzling light, as though mirrored, and in an instant, was cut in two.


    The left and right halves of the white dragon, cleaved by Sword Sha, had flames combusting at the wound, evaporating its blood and turning its flesh and scales to ashes, leaving only a skewered dragon skeleton that fell to the ground, in just two to three breaths.


    With a ¡°crack¡±, the dragon-shaped skeleton enveloped in green flames scattered across the ground, projecting a faint illusion of Bian Jingchun¡¯s shocked expression amidst the radiance.


    Suddenly, the scene changed for the spectators, finding themselves back in the office.


    After the duel was decided, the self-customized room in Little Red Sky disappeared, and the spectators were naturally brought back.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡±


    The moment they returned, a sound of painful groaning was heard from Bian Jingchun, her skin reddened, fell onto the sofa, appearing as if she just came out from a sauna.


    ¡°Bad luck, junior brother was too harsh. The sensation of dying and losing in the Little Red Sky followed her out.¡±


    Sun Daoji frowned upon seeing this scene.


    As Hua Zijing was about to call for the campus doctor, Chen Mobai also came out.


    Seeing the state Bian Jingchun was in, he was somewhat at a loss.


    He never expected that the full force of Green Flames Sword Slaughter would be so formidable, and it even seemed to have damaged the Divine Sense.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just tired, I just need some time to recover.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, panting, stopped Hua Zijing. She then closed her eyes, and the shadow of a square blue cauldron appeared above her heart. An unseen and vast dignity spread out, slowly suppressing her body¡¯s stress response.


    ¡°Junior brother, I am a girl after all. Couldn¡¯t you have been a bit more gentle?¡±


    A quarter of an hour later, although Bian Jingchun¡¯s face was still flushed, her body had recovered to normal. She opened her eyes and said in an annoyed voice.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say not to hold back?¡±

 Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments_1

    Chapter 501: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments_1


    Before leaving for Jumang Daoist Academy, Bian Jingchun challenged Chen Mobai to a duel in the Little Red Sky.


    But in their subsequent encounter, she behaved honestly, no longer stubbornly resisting Sword Sha.


    Even so, she could only stand her ground for a little while longer.


    After losing ten out of ten duels, Bian Jingchun still persisted. She wanted to continue sharpening her newly accomplished Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique through battle. But Chen Mobai, who had by now nearly mastered the Green Flame Sword Slaughter, made an excuse about conserving energy and stopped pummeling her.


    At this time, Zhuang Jialan announced that the entire team for the offline exchange had finally gathered.


    Among them, aside from Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai arranged by Chen Mobai himself, there was another familiar face ¨C Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°Jiang, are you coming to this event alone?¡±


    Chen Mobai curiously asked. After catching sight of him, Chen Mobai remembered that Meng Huang had seemingly sent a message earlier. What did it say?


    ¡°Yes. I will graduate next year then head to Xianwu Hall¡¯s Arts Division for further studies. For the near future, apart from cultivating, I will be participating in various performances organized by the officials. So, I want to take advantage of this little bit of freedom to explore different places.¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan was a handsome man, appealing to both sexes. His impeccable physique, handsome face, and slightly tanned skin blended to embody a male charm of gallantry and bravery.


    As a promising Gold Core Daoist who could potentially cultivate the Shocking God Sonata, Jiang Yuyuan gradually pulled out of Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe after his Foundation Establishment, with prominent individuals already arranging his path towards Core Formation.


    ¡°Sixty years of performances will just meet the minimum required tenure of Xianwu Hall, and I will receive a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill.¡±


    Hearing Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s words, everyone looked at him with envy.


    Even the top graduates of Dance Tool Dao Academy like Sun Daoji and Bian Jingchun couldn¡¯t guarantee receiving a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill after sixty years of public service.


    Because there were too many people in line.


    On the contrary, Chi Shicheng possessed a relatively greater chance of getting the pill since he was a valuable researcher who had completed some challenging projects over the years.


    Upon serving the minimum sixty years in Xianwu Hall¡¯s Arts Division, Jiang Yuyuan would receive a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, naturally eliciting envy from everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. I guess Meng Huang doesn¡¯t stand a chance. I heard she still hasn¡¯t cultivated the threshold method.¡±


    A member of the student association expressed regret. Hearing this, Jiang Yuyuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    ¡°Yeah, but she¡¯s always had limited talent. Unlike us who got in by passing exams. Her failing to establish her foundation is quite normal.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s demeanor showed a hint of displeasure. He glanced at the speakers, and one of them who was about to speak instantly fell silent.


    ¡°President, Teacher Luo is here.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, seeing the gloomy atmosphere, rushed over to inform them.


    ¡°Jialan, please entertain Senior Jiang and give him the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe.¡±


    For this trip, they were representing the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so they had to wear uniform clothing. Once the participant list was confirmed, the student association collected each person¡¯s measurements and sought help from the Refining Implement Department to make the robes.


    After nodding apologetically to Jiang Yuyuan, whose expression remained unchanged, Chen Mobai headed towards his office.


    Although he was technically the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy team, the Academy would certainly assign a teacher to support them.


    Luckily, this year, the Academy¡¯s collection was open ahead of schedule, and Luo Hezheng had completed his duties early, so he volunteered for the task.


    ¡°My main purpose for this trip is to exchange some precious medicinal herbs and elixirs at Jumang Daoist Academy. You can handle the arrangements for the offline exchange.¡±


    The first sentence Luo Hezheng uttered upon meeting stunned Chen Mobai a little, but it was good news to him.


    ¡°Understood, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Before long, it was time for their departure.


    On the third floor of the student association building, Chen Mobai, with Zhuang Jialan¡¯s assistance, put on his Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe in the president¡¯s office.


    By his side, Hua Zijing held a comb, helping him to tie his lush black hair, that had regained its vitality, into a high ponytail.


    ¡°This might be the last time you help me do my hair.¡±


    As Chen Mobai sat in front of the mirror, observing his composed demeanor in the long-sleeved robe, he suddenly said this to Hua Zijing, who was standing beside him.


    ¡°Of course, from now onwards, Jialan will be the one helping you.¡±


    Hua Zijing, her face tinged with a hint of nostalgia, picked up the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from the table and gracefully inserted it into the bun she had made.


    ¡°Which department of Xianwu Hall did you choose?¡±


    Standing up, Chen Mobai asked.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t my choice. I¡¯ve been assigned to a bureau under the civil and political affairs department of Xianwu Hall. I may be sent to a blessed land or a cave dwelling realm for a ten to twenty year initial practice. After which, I will slowly accumulate seniority with hopes of advancing my position through connections.¡±


    Given Hua Zijing¡¯s abilities, becoming a public servant was quite easy. As a disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she had more networking opportunities than the average individuals for getting a vacancy, which was the toughest part of the journey. However, she was uncertain about her final posting.


    She would have to wait for the retirement, or forced retirement, of an existing civil servant in one of the bureaus this year.


    ¡°In that case, I hope you get assigned to Danxia City.¡±


    Chen Mobai stroked his chin as he said this. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t intend to become an official after graduation. Instead, he planned to engage in business to earn Good Deed Points. If Hua Zijing were assigned to his hometown, it would indeed be a joyful meeting of old friends.

 Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments _2

    Chapter 502: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments _2


    ¡°No way, I also have ambitions. I want to make some achievements in the Great Hollow Heaven.¡±


    Hua Zijing spoke with disdain.


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily.


    ¡°It¡¯s time, President.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, standing by, reminded him, and upon hearing this, the three of them, including Chen Mobai, headed towards the outside door.


    In this trip, a total of ten people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy joined the team to participate in this offline exchange meeting.


    Apart from Bian Jingchun, there were Chen Mobai, Zhongli Tianyu, Zha Jianbai, Jiang Yuyuan, Zhuang Jialan, and two other tenth graders in the foundation establishment stage. Just like Hua Zijing, they were all graduation candidates this year. But having fewer achievements than Hua Zijing, they were eager to participate in this offline exchange meeting of the Daoist Academy to enhance their credentials.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the flight path has been applied.¡±


    Just when the three of them walked to downstairs, Luo Hezheng put down the phone and spoke to them.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had its own flying artifact.


    But to fly over the territory of the Heavenly Dao, all flying artifacts needed to apply for a flight path from the aviation authority.


    Chen Mobai gave instructions to the three vice-presidents, asking them to facilitate communication and exchange between teachers and students during the end of the term, and to stand their last class of the year firmly.


    ¡°Zijing, if you have time, come and help.¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai said to Hua Zijing, who was on the side. Although she had resigned, he still thought she should step up at this time.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll handle things here, Jialan, this guy can be a bit slow sometimes, take care of him on this trip.¡±


    Hua Zijing, who didn¡¯t argue for once, nodded her head, and then gave instructions to Zhuang Jialan, who was leaving with the team.


    As the secretary general, Zhuang Jialan had to assist in arranging accommodations in the Jumang Daoist Academy for the accompanying group, so she was also included in the team.


    ¡°Okay, senior.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan nodded solemnly.


    Vroom!


    When Chen Mobai led everyone to the area above the Treasure Trove, a flying artifact was already floating mid-air, making a tremendous noise while stirring up the air currents.


    It was a bullet-headed, elliptical flying artifact with wings near the tail.


    Luo Hezheng flew up first, opened the cabin door and entered.


    After Chen Mobai led the team in, they found that there were sofas and seats enough for twenty people to ride.


    ¡°Everyone, find a seat. Due to the flight speed limit in the Heavenly Gate, we cannot fly at the maximum speed. It will take three days to arrive at the Linwu Hollow Heaven.¡±


    As Luo Hezheng spoke, he took out a card and inserted it into a groove on the flying artifact¡¯s workstation. He then entered the flight path password authorized by the Heavenly Gate Aviation Authority onto the control panel. Soon, Chen Mobai and the others felt a strong pushing sensation at their backs.


    Linwu Hollow Heaven.


    As the location of the Jumang Daoist Academy, it is one of the most alpha green hilly areas in the Heavenly Gate.


    Sitting in the Daoist Academy¡¯s flying artifact, Chen Mobai and his team looked through the windows and saw that the mountainous landscape below was covered in green. Looking from the sky, it was like a green ocean covering the vast earth.


    As their flying altitude decreased, towering trees started to emerge into view, their golden leaves signifying a season of harvest. Through the lush foliage, they could see various flowers in red, white, purple, pink, and other colors blooming on the ground.


    As the landing cabin door opened, Chen Mobai was immediately greeted by an unprecedentedly fresh breeze. The refreshing scent of the leaves, the fragrant smell of the fresh flowers, and the grace of the vegetation made him feel revigorated.


    After exiting the cabin, they saw an endless ocean of trees beyond the airport. With excellent eyesight, Chen Mobai was able to see the joyful birds singing in the forest, and even hear the faint sound of flowing water.


    If they could live in such a place all the time, it would be quite healthy.


    ¡°Are you friends from the Dance Tool Dao Academy?¡±


    At this moment, a clear voice sounded. Two teenagers dressed in Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt stood on the open ground, greeting them.


    ¡°I¡¯m Song Yuexin, and this is Wang Meng Yuan. We are in charge of hosting you.¡±


    The girl spoke again, Chen Mobai nodded and smiled at them, and then followed them towards the outside of the airport.


    Inside the terminal of the Lingwu Cave Sky.


    Thousands of people waiting for their flights suddenly stood still in place, staring blankly at the twelve men and women dressed in pure white and colored clouds, who majestically passed through the exit and walked over.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Repairing Heaven Cloud Robe!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re from the Repairing Heaven Institute and have probably come to participate in the offline exchange competition to recalibrate the rankings of the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Which one is Ling Dao, he reportedly mastered the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ of the Repairing Heaven Institute. He is the only talent who has cultivated a complete Divinity Transformation technique among all the chiefs of the four major Daoist Academies.¡±


    ¡°But he can only stand in the second row, who are those two standing in front of him?¡±


    People waiting at Lingwu Cave Sky were buzzing, naturally, their discussion reached Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s ears.


    Lou Fengcheng glanced at Ling Dao behind him and made a suggestive remark.


    ¡°The outside world has high expectations for you, you better not lose again.¡±


    ¡°Yes, senior.¡±


    Ling Dao responded expressionlessly, when Little Red Sky just started beta testing, he lost to Sima Xingyu. Even though it was comprehensible, he lost anyway, which in their institute that highly values capability, led to some criticism.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go, the vehicle of Sentence Mang Daoist Academy has arrived.¡±


    The teacher leading the Repairing Heaven Institute spoke, just as they were about to leave, the students from Sentence Mang Daoist Academy who came to receive them looked surprised.


    At the same time, the attention of thousands of people in the waiting hall turned to another exit.


    They saw ten men and women dressed in wide-sleeved red and black robes marching out in unison, led by a handsome young man with a high-bun and a long ponytail.


    With the expansion of Little Red Sky over the past two years, many people recognize this face.


    Since his debut, Chen Mobai, the chief of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy, who has always held the first place in the Little Red Sky ranking and has never faltered.


    ¡°Why is he the first?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng furrowed his brow slightly when he saw Chen Mobai walking in front, and Sun Daoji he knew was actually in third place.


    According to the tradition of their Repairing Heaven Institute, the strong ones naturally should be in front.


    But while Chen Mobai might rampage in Little Red Sky, he is, after all, simply at the early foundation stage, what qualifies him to rank before Sun Daoji at the ninth level of foundation establishment?


    It utterly disregards the order of the hierarchy!


    Lou Fengcheng, who saw this scene, was quite dissatisfied deep down. But, the rules of the Dance Tool Dao Academy are indeed different from theirs at the Repairing Heaven Institute, so he didn¡¯t go to criticize.


    At this moment, it seems like the other side has also seen the people of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The leading Chen Mobai shockingly had his eyes fixated on them, then pointed at them and turned to ask the people behind him something. Sun Daoji immediately went to Chen Mobai¡¯s side and seemed to have said something.


    Just as Lou Fengcheng was puzzled, Chen Mobai surprisingly nodded, then took the initiative to walk towards their side.


    When Chen Mobai moved, the remaining nine people from the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy naturally followed.


    The ten young men and women dressed in wide-sleeved red and black robes seemed like a swath of sunset clouds moving towards the twelve people of Repairing Heaven Institute.


    In a flash, the originally noisy waiting hall fell silent.


    Everyone was looking at the handsome youth who walked in the front.


    Many people recognized this Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s chief, who had gained the most reputation in recent years.


    [Could he be eager to demonstrate his power and provoke a conflict right here in the airport?]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Many had this thought in mind, some even took out their phones and started recording, ready to capture the ¡°intense confrontation¡± that might happen next.


    In this silence, even the people from the Repairing Heaven Institute felt an invisible pressure watching the Sunset Clouds from the Dance Tool Dao Academy walking towards them.


    Lou Fengcheng knitted his brows, as the actual leader of their expedition, he couldn¡¯t show any retreat.


    As he took a step forward, ready to face the pressure from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the leading handsome young man surprisingly showed him a seemingly friendly smile.


    ¡°So you are Senior Lou, back in Red Sandstone City, you, representing the Repairing Heaven Institute, had witnessed my entrance test. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here again, it¡¯s such a coincidence.¡±

 Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden_1

    Chapter 503: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden_1


    [There¡¯s this matter?]


    Although Lou Fengcheng knew about Chen Mobai, he had no idea that he had personally witnessed this man pass the admission test in Red Sandstone City and get admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Every year there are new students, and he has overseen too many admission tests in various heavens and blessings, these unimportant memories were stored in a corner of his mind, to be recalled only when needed.


    After being reminded by Chen Mobai, Lou Fengcheng recalled that it was indeed true.


    He was representing the Repairing Heaven Institute at that time, coincidentally at Red Sandstone City with that annoying Lan Haitian.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you.¡±


    After reviewing the memory like a series of images flashing in his mind, Lou Fengcheng recalled the incident from that year, his face suffused with surprise and realization.


    It was him, no wonder he had gained such fame in seven years since joining the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Wasn¡¯t the title of ¡°Battle Law Victory¡± also given by the man in the red robe?


    It has to be said, the vision of a Golden Core Cultivator is far-reaching compared to their Foundation Establishment stage peers.


    ¡°Are we going along with the alumni from Repairing Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai turned his head and asked Song Yuexin and Wang Meng Yuan who came to receive him. Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook their heads.


    ¡°Every Daoist Academy has its separate bus.¡±


    ¡°What a pity. I was hoping to communicate more with my senior.¡±


    After listening to Song Yuexin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai replied with a regretful expression. Then he prepared to leave with the people behind him.


    ¡°Oh, right, this is Senior Ling the Earth Master, right? Almost forgot to greet you, I hope we can have an exciting contest during this offline exchange.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and reached out his right hand towards the silent Earth Master behind Lou Fengcheng.


    Upon hearing this, the four students from the Jumang Daoist Academy, including Song Yuexin, couldn¡¯t help but twitch the corners of their mouths, looking at Chen Mobai in astonishment.


    Shouldn¡¯t this sentence have been said by Earth Master Ling?


    We know you wreaked havoc in the Little Red Sky, but this is an offline exchange. You are in the early stage of foundation establishment, and the person in front of you is the principal of Repairing Heaven Institute and amongst the four largest breakthroughs, he has advanced to the seventh layer of foundation establishment!


    ¡°Interesting!¡±


    Earth Master Ling seemed stunned for a moment, but then he quickly responded with a peculiar smile, extended his right hand, and shook Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    In an instant, several hundred mobile phone cameras in the waiting area were pointed at the handshake between the two.


    But contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, Earth Master Ling did not seem to have the intention to embarrass Chen Mobai. After their palms touched, they gently let go.


    ¡°Before I challenge you, don¡¯t lose to those people from Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Just as he let go, Earth Master Ling whispered. Everyone in the immortal world knew that after the incident in Little Red Sky, the Pure Yang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy, both located in the Crimson City, regarded each other as enemies.


    ¡°I understand what you¡¯re saying, Senior Ling. Rest assured, since you¡¯ve said that, I¡¯ll leave the Sima Xingyu who once defeated you to you. I¡¯ll only cause trouble for Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left everyone present wide-eyed and disbelieving.


    Does he have a more audacious attitude than the sky itself?


    Does he think it¡¯s the same as in the Little Red Sky where he could wield his sword recklessly?


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such an arrogant man in my life.¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai leave with the people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Earth Master Ling murmured to himself.


    ¡°Even Lan Haitian wasn¡¯t this arrogant!¡±


    These words were uttered by Lou Fengcheng. He himself, a cultivator at the perfection stage of the foundational establishment, felt oppressed by Chen Mobai.


    He couldn¡¯t understand how this mere cultivator in the early foundation stage, who only mastered the Sword Light, dared to make such audacious claims in public, practically disregarding the Pure Yang Academy and their Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. The bus is at exit C.¡±


    At this moment, the two Jumang students who came to receive the Repairing Heaven Institute members called Lou Fengcheng and the others to leave the waiting area.


    After both the Dance Tool and Repairing Heaven groups vanished, the previously silent hall suddenly became noisy.


    ¡°I would call him the greatest lunatic in the immortal world!¡±


    ¡°I feel he is the most insane person in history.¡±


    ¡°Even Divinity Transformation Elder Ancestors weren¡¯t as mad as him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were not at all concealed and were easily heard by all the cultivators in the hall, many also recorded the ¡°exchange¡± between the two institutes.


    In just a short span of ten minutes, numerous videos from various angles had circulated on the internet.


    The representatives of the other Daoist Academy merely frowned after watching it.


    But the people from Pure Yang Academy had dark expressions after watching it. Those of a more volatile temperament were even prepared to draw their swords to challenge Chen Mobai.

    ¡°Let him bark like a dog. When the contest takes place, I¡¯ll let him know what pain and despair are.¡±


    With an icy tone, Xiahou Weihuan stopped the others. With the help of Earth Master Min Fangheng, he finally synthesized Fire Yang Evil half a month ago.


    Due to the time being too short, his Primordial Yang Sword Evil hadn¡¯t reached its full potential.


    He would need a few more days to fully complete the ¡°Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡±. After his bitter defeat in Little Red Sky, Xiahou Weihuan had learned a virtue known as tolerance.


    Just a few more days, once he masters the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, no one in the Daoist Academy would be his match.

 Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden _2

    Chapter 504: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden _2


    Bear with it a bit longer!


    Although the others from Pure Yang Academy were annoyed deep down, Xiahou Weihuan held a superior standing in their hearts. Since he had spoken, they had no choice but to endure.


    ¡­


    ¡°We have arrived. This here is our Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai and the rest followed Song Yuexin to a gigantic lake. Right in the center was a vast Big Tree, so wide it would take ten people to encircle it. With the rustle of fresh winds, the tree¡¯s lush leaves swayed, exuding a refreshing fragrance.


    Everyone felt a purifying feeling wash over them as they caught the scent, cleansing them inside out.


    ¡°This is the number one Spirit Plant of the immortal world, the Big Tree!¡±


    Many people were witnessing this rank-6 Spirit Plant for the first time. According to rumors, it was brought and planted here by the founder of hermit Jumang from outside the corelands, where, over thousands of years, it had put down roots in the entirety of Land Elemental planet.


    This Big Tree bore fruit every eight hundred years.


    The Immortal Tree Fruit could extend anyone¡¯s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.


    In addition to the fruits, the Big Tree¡¯s leaves, roots, bark, and sap were among the most treasured Alchemy ingredients in the immortal world.


    Chen Mobai remembered something Yu Rulin had shared ¨C one of the primary ingredients of the Turtle Longevity Pill, the most refined work from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, was the bark of the Big Tree.


    The Soul Awakening Dao Pill that the Qing Ladies had administered to him also used the Big Tree¡¯s flower as its primary ingredient, thereby contributing to its extraordinary spiritual potency.


    Pill production of the Jade marrow pill, the Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine of Jumang Daoist Academy, had to be reduced in recent years due to the scarcity of Big Tree sap.


    ¡°Everyone, you will be staying on Small Leaf Island.¡±


    Song Yuexin signalled to them from the lakeside. With a wave of her hand, water waves transformed into an invisible bridge under her feet. She led in the front while Wang Meng Yuan brought up the rear, with Chen Mobai¡¯s group in between, as if an invisible water bridge was paving the way for them towards an island to the right of the Big Tree.


    The Jumang Daoist Academy was located over the largest wetlands lake in the immortal world, and only the rank-5 Water Vein present here could support the flourishing growth of the Big Tree.


    The lake, reportedly spanning thirty thousand acres, was dotted with one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight islands, extolled as ¡°a tree, a water body, thousands of peaks casting shadows¡±.


    Each island appeared like a star scattered across the beautiful lake.


    This lake was named ¡°Wan Shui Lake¡±.


    And thus, the Jumang Daoist Academy held the elegant title of ¡°A Thousand Hills and Wan Shui¡±.


    Chen Mobai and his entourage soon arrived on a picturesque island. Wooden houses studded the cliffs, overlooking the rippling turquoise Wan Shui Lake. The island was flushed with green trees and fresh flowers ¨C the view alone was enough to match any location on Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Thank you, but Mei Shuan and I had planned to meet today. Could you kindly arrange a ride to Wood God Island?¡±


    After everyone chose a wooden house to stay in, Luo Hezheng, who was a teacher, sought out Song Yuexin. He had acquaintances in hermit Jumang, including the instructor of Sky Blue, one of the six major medicine factories.


    Primarily, Luo Hezheng was here because the medicine factories from each of the four Daoist Academies had a batch of mature spiritual medicines ready, and he wanted to see if they could be combined to concoct a batch of Five Elements Gold Core Pills.


    ¡°I will take you there immediately.¡±


    Song Yuexin nodded. Wang Meng Yuan stayed back on Small Leaf Island to take care of and welcome the group from Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I happen to have a friend to see too. Let¡¯s head to Wood God Island together.¡±


    After Chen Mobai chose a wooden house, he overheard Luo Hezheng¡¯s conversation with Song Yuexin and decided to join them.


    Wood God Island was the largest among all, hosting the Big Tree and forming the core of the Jumang Daoist Academy campus.


    Not knowing where he would be located, Chen Mobai had scheduled his meeting with the Qing Ladies over there.


    ¡°Please follow me.¡±


    Song Yuexin again demonstrated her water bridge technique and ushered both of them towards the Big Tree.


    ¡°Chen Elder Student, you have an incredibly distinguished reputation. However, it might be best for you to lay low when you¡¯re on your own.¡±


    On their way, Song Yuexin suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh, why is that?¡±


    ¡°Many of our seniors from Jumang Daoist Academy have suffered defeat at your hands in Little Red Sky. They couldn¡¯t wait to challenge you in this offline meet. If you have the Dance Tool Dao Academy graduates by your side, I¡¯m afraid some might not hold back,¡±


    Upon hearing Song Yue Xin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai chuckled. He remembered when he and Hua Zijing went to the cave in Crimson City, disguising themselves using a mask formed by the Green Scale Arm Guard. It was indeed a unique experience.


    It was then that he met a mysterious girl with sunglasses who told fortunes at the Divine Machine Mansion, and a former schoolmate from Starlight Institute named Shi Wanyu with whom he had not been in contact for a long time.


    His mood that day seemed extraordinarily pleasant.


    Perhaps it was because the girl with sunglasses had resolved a dilemma for him. Or it could have been the youthful and beautiful girl by his side, radiating vigor.


    Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai felt an increased sense of anticipation for today.


    After all, the Qing woman he was about to meet today was also a beautiful girl and could be considered his best friend.


    ¡°Which friend is Brother Chen going to meet?¡±


    Song Yue Xin, seeing Chen Mo Bai¡¯s smiling face, couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. In her mind, he was a man of pride. Seeing his cheerful disposition probably meant he was meeting a friend he was anticipating.


    ¡°We graduated high school in the same year from Red Sandstone City. Unfortunately, each Daoist Academy only admits one new student. We had to part ways. She had to cross a thousand mountains and rivers to come here, while I was assigned to Crimson Mountain.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Song Yue Xin, who was used to watching TV dramas, couldn¡¯t help but imagine a complicated romance between a boy and a girl.


    ¡°How nice it is. Both of you were admitted to the four major Daoist Academies, which is a perfect match. If you happen to be together in the future, you can help each other on the path of cultivation without holding each other back.¡±


    Song Yue Xin had also experienced a relationship during high school. Unfortunately, after the entrance exam, she enrolled in Jumang Daoist Academy, and her boyfriend could only go to Bai Er Shi Mansion. For the first two years, they would go back to their hometown every year and share their love for each other.


    But after that, Song Yue Xin comprehended the brink law and found that he couldn¡¯t walk with her to the end.


    After reaching the Foundation Establishment, the naive and sweet love had ended.


    She had been savoring this experience in her heart, but if she could start over, she would still choose to break up.


    Because she didn¡¯t want to see her lover growing old.


    ¡°Admitted? No, she did not get admitted to Jumang Daoist Academy. Qing woman was invited.¡±


    After listening to Song Yuexin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai shook his head and said something that surprised her.


    Invitation?


    Could it be the intervention of a Golden Core Cultivator, which might lead to a breakup in the future?


    Wait, what did he just call her?


    Qing Woman!!


    Muttering that familiar name, Song Yue Xin suddenly realized that this invitation was not a backdoor entry. Instead, it was an invited admission by Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you reach the airport early? Why are you arriving now?¡±


    By this time, they had reached Wood God Island. A clear voice was heard from the shore. Looking up,


    They saw a girl in a white shirt and black shoes leaning against a tree on the shore, waving at them. She had a beautiful smile on her face and her clear eyes sparkled with happiness. Her tight jeans outlined her perfect waist and hip curve, revealing her slender long legs. With her slightly curly hair reaching her waist, the entire scene was a beautiful landscape painting in harmony with the lake and trees.


    ¡°I brought the people from the Academy to Small Leaf Island first before coming to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved to the Qing Woman who he had not seen for a long time. He then bid farewell to Luo Hezheng and Song Yue Xin on the bridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead then, I also know the direction to Small Leaf Island, and I will go back on my own later.¡±


    Luo Hezheng nodded in agreement. Song Yue Xin still had her mouth open, not responding.

    She did not expect Chen Mobai¡¯s friend to be Qing Woman, and it looked like they had a closer relationship than she had imagined.


    ¡°Thank you for guiding me, Miss Song. See you.¡±


    Seeing her still not responding, Chen Mobai called out again.


    ¡°Uh¡­okay, take care, brother Chen.¡±


    Is this what they call a match made in heaven?

 Chapter 505 - Chapter 505: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_1

    Chapter 505: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_1


    Watching Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leave the shore, Luo Hezheng felt nostalgic for the vigor of youth.


    ¡°The Kong Qingge should be this way, right?¡±


    Luo Hezheng wasn¡¯t a first-time visitor to the Jumang Daoist Academy, yet he asked Song Yuexin symbolically, and she nodded in response.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Just as the two were about to step in another direction, Luo Hezheng suddenly let out a yelp and looked in a certain direction.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Teacher Luo?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Luo Hezheng shook his head, not mentioning the unusual feeling of being watched.


    This was a port, and once onshore, one could see several two or three-story houses scattered along the road ascending in steps. The arrangement seemed to follow a particular formation, exuding a harmonious beauty of man and nature.


    In one such modest building, a girl in sunglasses sat on a window ledge, her feet swinging in the air, looking in the direction of the port.


    On the wall behind her, a large screen was displaying the scene at the port.


    ¡°It seems we¡¯ve been spotted.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses turned her head and said a sentence, then heard slight coughing from behind her.


    ¡°This is Jumang Academy¡¯s surveillance. We¡¯re just borrowing the feed. Even if caught, other martial arts academies won¡¯t care. They¡¯ll assume it¡¯s necessary vigilance for the upcoming offline exchanges.¡±


    In the room¡¯s farthest corner away from sunlight, a man with gray hair sat in a wooden chair, watching the screen and lightly pressing buttons on a remote control in his hand.


    Soon, the screen divided into nine small parts.


    One of them flashed the images of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu passing by.


    ¡°I heard you did a divination for him?¡±


    The gray-haired man pointed at Chen Mobai and began using various surveillance feeds from around Wood God Island to continuously track this chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Yes, it was coincidental, I wasn¡¯t waiting for him.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses turned her head and, upon seeing the screen, spoke in a calm tone.


    ¡°Oh, so even the Karmic Doctrine of The Divine Machine Mansion can get it wrong?¡±


    Upon hearing her words, the gray-haired man looked surprised. Speaking too hastily, he coughed a couple of times as if in poor health.


    ¡°My cultivation still needs work, but it¡¯s also likely that crossing paths with him is better than meeting the person I was waiting for.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, the bond between you and him is stronger.¡±


    The gray-haired man was Ding Chundzhi, the previous chief of the Astral Observation Academy. He was a Foundation Establishment perfectionist, albeit average in magic duel ability. However, his Observing Stars Technique was advanced to a high level. It¡¯s said he saw through everyone he observed.


    ¡°Probably.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses responded calmly, not revealing the truth from the day she read Chen Mobai¡¯s fortune.


    ¡°Interesting. With you saying this, I suddenly want to inspect his fortune.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi¡¯s intrigue piqued. He closed his left eye, and a silver starlight shimmered in his right eye. Simultaneously, he pressed incessantly on his remote control to capture the screen image of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The people from Kunpeng Daoist Institute have arrived.¡±


    Just as Ding Chundzhi was about to read Chen Mobai¡¯s fate, the girl in sunglasses suddenly spoke.


    ¡°What a coincidence.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi paused, sighing. He had to switch the screen view back to the port with his remote control.


    A youth with golden curls and a cold face arrived on Wood God Island, closely followed by a handsome youth with melancholy eyes: Taishi Shu, the current chief of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    ¡°Qi Huanzhi, Nangong Xiu, Taishi Shu, any one of these chaps has the potential of Gold Core, yet all belong to Kunpeng Daoist Institute. It truly deserves to be the number one institution amongst the celestial academies.¡±


    Seeing the trio disembark, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Despite being the most talented student of the Astral Observation Academy in the last hundred years, he could only rival these three at best.


    Thankfully, he had mastered the Observing Stars Technique!


    Within the twinkling starlight of his right eye, Ding Chundzhi watched the trio on the screen. He seemed to already see their fates and the ranks they might attain during this offline exchange.


    ¡°Nangong Xiu is currently third, Taishi Shu second and Qiu Huanzhi first.¡±


    After reading the trio¡¯s fortunes, Chundzhi took up a brush and wrote down their names on a large piece of paper.


    ¡°The people from The Divine Machine Mansion have arrived.¡±


    Sitting on the window ledge, the girl with sunglasses reminded again.


    Following the trio from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi arrived on Wood God Island.


    Ding Chundzhi didn¡¯t dare to rest and once again performed the Observing Stars Technique. After glancing at the duo on the screen, he wrote their names between Qi Huanzhi and Taishi Shu.


    This changed the rankings to Lou Fengcheng second and Ling Daoshi third.

    Taishi Shu dropped to fourth and Nangong Xiu to fifth.


    After consecutively reading the fortune of top professionals from two Daoist Academies, Ding Chundzhi drew a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he opened a bottle of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew kept on the table and dropped two drops into his right eye.


    A refreshing sensation, he felt relieved.


    The Observing Stars Technique was powerful, but it consumed much of his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense. The better the person he was watching, the more violently he experienced backlash.


    Thankfully, the members of the ¡®Four Great Daoist Academies¡¯ and the ¡®Top Ten Learning Palaces¡¯ had not all arrived at once. Otherwise, he definitely could not stand it.

 Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_2

    Chapter 506: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_2


    Moreover, among the top ten academies, there aren¡¯t many formidable individuals ¨C only two or three whom he could count, could make him feel pressured.


    In the mid-afternoon, Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu also came ashore.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    After using the Observing Stars Technique, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but utter a sound of surprise.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t see through Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi slightly furrowed his brows, then subsequently opened the left eye he kept shut. Both eyes sparkled with starlight as he observed the two individuals on the observation screen.


    After fully employing the Observing Stars Technique, he finally pierced through the hazy red mist surrounding Xiahou Weihuan and was able to see his destiny.


    ¡°The guy truly lives up to his reputation. His rank is surprisingly above Qi Huanzhi.¡±


    After previously witnessing Lan Haitian¡¯s crushing victory over Xiahou Weihuan in the Little Red Sky, Ding Chundzhi assumed that the latter was all bark and no bite. However, after observing him closely today using the Observing Stars Technique, he discovered that it wasn¡¯t that Xiahou Weihuan was weak; it was just that Lan Haitian was simply too strong.


    Instantly, Xiahou Weihuan made it to the number one spot on his list.


    As for Sima Xingyu, he ranked tenth.


    ¡°No wonder the Pure Yang Academy dared to challenge the Dance Tool Dao Academy. These two also have a high chance of achieving Core Formation. If Nangong Xuanyu can reach the Nascent Soul Formation, they could indeed compete with the weakened Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    After observing Xiahou Weihuan, Ding Chundzhi once again used two drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    ¡°Why has she come?¡±


    Suddenly, the girl in sunglasses seemed surprised.


    Ding Chundzhi could only open his eyes again. Looking at the beautiful woman in the blue dress on the big screen, he frowned. After contemplating for a moment, he sighed, and didn¡¯t use the Observing Star Technique to see her destiny.


    Aside from the two from the Pure Yang Academy he just predicted, due to the heavy consumption, it was also because this person was too formidable to be predicted.


    Thankfully, an unexpected situation like hers was an exception.


    Although the following were all chiefs and graduates from the top ten academies, none of them gave Ding Chundzhi any pressure; they were all seen through by him.


    By evening, the white paper was nearly filled with names from top to bottom.


    ¡°Lu Qiulong is here.¡±


    Hearing the reminder, Ding Chundzhi braced himself for it. Although Lu Qiulong¡¯s cultivation level was inferior to his own, due to his long-term fusion with his partner beast, his Essence and Blood Energy were tainted with the beast¡¯s dominance, so he had to be extremely cautious to avoid backlash.


    ¡°Phew, alright, he can be ranked tenth.¡±


    After predicting Lu Qiulong, Ding Chundzhi breathed a sigh of relief and wrote his name above Sima Xingyu, causing the latter to drop to the eleventh place.


    ¡°That¡¯s about it for the day, it¡¯s also nearly the closing time for the school. We¡¯ll check out the remaining people tomorrow. Only the Daoist Academy¡¯s three and Primordial Elemental Academy¡¯s Tao Mingqing are left, as well as¡­ Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    As he mentioned the last name, Ding Chundzhi¡¯s expression became unprecedentedly grave.


    Despite being a graduate of the Shanhai Academy, Pei Qingshuang, as the top-ranking sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, is someone Lan Haitian is unwilling to face. It is unclear why she became interested in participating in this offline friendly competition.


    Just when the girl in sunglasses pushed off her swing with both hands and prepared to retrieve her feet she had been dangling all day, she saw a robust woman clad in a tight dark green suit and a white cloak approaching the shore.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang is here too.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, who was about to pack up his things, could only sigh and once again opened his eyes to look at the big screen.


    Hisss!


    A cry of pain rang out from Ding Chundzhi. The girl in sunglasses¡¯ face changed slightly as she noticed Pei Qingshuang suddenly raising her brows and glancing over here.


    She disappeared from the window sill and hurriedly retreated into the room.


    She then went to Ding Chundzhi¡¯s side, took the remote control, and turned off the big screen.


    ¡°This woman, it seems like she noticed us.¡±


    While the girl in sunglasses was speaking, a hint of interest appeared in her usually calm voice.


    After observing the whole day, a truly interesting person had finally arrived.


    ¡°This woman, I will definitely never look at her again.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi released the grip on his right eye. As he did, a red mark appeared on his eyelids that looked just like a sword cut.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan is also a sword cultivator, but he¡¯s not this terrifying.¡±


    The girl in sunglasses looked at the sword mark on Ding Chundzhi¡¯s right eye and spoke quizzically.


    ¡°Among sword cultivators, there are also high and low levels.¡±


    After saying this, Ding Chundzhi again used two drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and then began packing up his things, ready to leave.


    ¡°Eh, the school is on lockdown, how come that guy from the Dance Tools Dao Academy hasn¡¯t left the island yet?¡±


    While helping with the clean-up, the young lady with the sunglasses suddenly felt that something was off.


    Most of the people from other Daoist academies, after strolling around Wood God Island once more, basically all left before dark, returning to the island where the Jumang Daoist Academy had arranged accommodations. However, they haven¡¯t seen Chen Mobai, who was the first to arrive, at all.


    Could he have stayed overnight on Wood God Island?


    ¡°He probably has relatives living here like Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi voiced his thoughts. Pei Qingshuang¡¯s original name was Pei Cui, her mother was an influential figure in the Jumang Daoist Academy, so it¡¯s understandable for her to have come before dark.


    But Chen Mobai, a student from another academy, despite receiving a well-arranged island villa, why would he want to stay at a small guesthouse on the island?


    ¡°Could he actually be in a romantic relationship with the Heavenly Spiritual Root?¡±


    As a male, Ding Chunzhi came up with a thought and blurted it out involuntarily.


    ¡°Impossible. I have already seen his fortune when I read his palm last time. Although he has good luck with romance, he¡¯s determined in his cultivation. All of the beauty combined in the world wouldn¡¯t compare to a small advancement in his cultivation path. He wouldn¡¯t indulge in the color of women at such a young age.¡±


    The young lady with sunglasses, having full confidence in her palm-reading skills, was sure Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t that kind of person.


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll observe him tomorrow.¡±


    Ding Chunzhi didn¡¯t dispute the words of the heir of the Divine Machine Mansion in front of him, but Chen Mobai was becoming increasingly intriguing to him.


    The next day.


    Both of them waited at the old place, but Chen Mobai¡¯s figure was still nowhere to be seen leaving the island.


    On the third day, Ding Chunzhi finally couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, and scrolled back on Wood God Island¡¯s surveillance, finally locating traces of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°They stayed in the Elixir Refining Room for three days?!¡±


    After watching the scene from three days ago when Chen Mobai and Qing Nu went in and have yet to come out, Ding Chunzhi and the young lady with sunglasses exchanged looks in disbelief.


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s ready.¡±


    The Elixir Refining Room of Jumang Daoist Academy was of top-notch standards.


    Wiping sweat off her smooth forehead, Qing Nu handed the three portions of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew that had been extracted from the medicinal pool to Chen Mobai. Then, she hurried to a sand furnace, taking over Chen Mobai who had been burning his Pure Yang Spiritual Power for three days, and started to condense medical properties.


    It goes without saying that Chen Mobai sought Qing Nu¡¯s assistance in alchemy.


    Wang Xingyu was going into seclusion for Foundation Establishment. As he was meant to come to Jumang Daoist Academy, he had already requested Luo Yixuan to gather the main and auxiliary medicine for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and Camelweed Ointment in advance.


    Among these, Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is easy to refine, given that Qing Nu has experience.


    Yet, as a Rank-3 medicinal herb, most Camelweed in the Eastern Wilderness can only be refined into Rank-2 ointment. However, on the immortal sect¡¯s side, as long as the Alchemist¡¯s skills are high enough, it can be refined into Rank-3 ointment.


    Luckily, this year Qing Nu had passed her exams and received the certificate of a Rank-3 Alchemist.


    Thus, she was more than qualified.


    Chen Mobai had already discussed with Qing Nu about the prescription for enhancing blood energy in the meridians before coming to the Jumang Daoist Academy, and had purchased another Rank-3 medicinal herb¡ªWater Heart Lotus Seed, along with eighteen types of Rank-2 auxiliary medicine¡ªin the Eastern Wilderness as per her requirements.


    Thanks to the abundance of medicinal resources at Giant Tree Ridge, most of them were available.


    Additionally, Luo Yixuan, who is diligent at work, had specifically gone to the markets outside of the sect to buy two other types of Rank-2 auxiliary medicine that were not available at the Spirit Plant Department.


    For this batch of ointment, Chen Mobai had contributed five thousand sect contribution points and two hundred Spirit Stones.


    Apart from these, he had also spent about thirty thousand Good Deed Points on some of the industrial auxiliary medicine from the immortal sect, but compared to the major investments, these could be neglected.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn now. It will take me about half a month to finish refining this batch of ointment, which should be when your offline exchange meeting ends.¡±


    Qing Nu sat in front of the sand furnace with a smile, carefully adjusting the prime minister and ministers among the various medicinal materials in the furnace with her Spiritual Power. From time to time, she would take a piece of the Spiritual Extract Chen Mobai had brought, crush a corner into powder, and scatter it to extract the dan poison.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯m leaving it in your hands.¡±


    Feeling that he was interfering with Qing Nu¡¯s alchemy, Chen Mobai nodded and left the Elixir Refining Room as he did in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡­

    ¡°He finally came out.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, who was leaning on a surveillance system aimed at the Elixir Refining Room, saw Chen Mobai, who had just walked out stretching in a leisurely manner, closed his left eye, and began to use the Observing Stars Technique.


    Cutting through the air with a hiss!


    Like Sword Qi cutting through the air!


    Soon after, the sound of agonized restraint echoed throughout.

 Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_1

    Chapter 507: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_1


    Ding Chundzhi originally thought that no matter how powerful Chen Mobai was, he was merely at the early foundation stage and he only needed to observe him with his right eye.


    Little did he know, upon observing with his right eye, he encountered the same situation as when he looked at Xiahou Weihuan. He merely thought that Chen Mobai had an artifact that could block his spying attempts.


    Having no choice, he opened both eyes to observe life.


    However, after seeing through a layer of hazy green fog, he discovered there was yet another layer.


    Ding Chundzhi initially thought that due to the heavy usage of the Observing Stars Technique in the previous days, his energy was insufficient. Thus, he forcibly roused his divine sense and spiritual power, pushing the power of Observing Stars Technique to its limits.


    The number one life-observing technique of the Immortals is naturally not empty talk.


    He finally saw through the second layer of green fog covering Chen Mobai¡¯s body.


    Then came the third layer!


    Ding Chundzhi slightly furrowed his brows, thinking that this artifact was quite formidable.


    If it were any other time, he reckoned he wouldn¡¯t continue looking.


    However, entrusted by others and in front of the sunglass-wearing young lady, as a person who has communicated with The Divine Machine Mansion for years, he felt he could not lose face.


    Believing that a mere early foundation stage had no retaliatory power, Ding Chundzhi decided to withdraw half of the divine sense and spiritual power used to resist the backlash from the Observing Stars Technique and focus it on observing life.


    Now, the green fog from the four Sword Sha could no longer obstruct him, all were completely seen through by him, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his field of vision.


    A rank-3 artifact!


    After a moment of hesitation, Ding Chundzhi dared not continue looking at the Six Yangs Divine Fire Mirror fearing retaliation. He shifted his gaze to Chen Mobai¡¯s sea of knowledge at the Purple Mansion and saw a flourishing jade-green phoenix tree phantom.


    ¡°His divine sense cultivation is not bad. Even though he is merely at the third level of the foundation, his divine consciousness intensity is even higher than his spiritual power realm¡­ Eh¡­ That¡¯s odd¡­¡±


    Just when Ding Chundzhi thought he understood Chen Mobai¡¯s abilities inside out, he noticed a patch of grey shadow entwined around the jade-green phoenix tree. When he looked closer at the grey patch, he could not discern its implied meaning.


    Interest arose in Ding Chundzhi, as an observer of life who had just mastered his skill, he wouldn¡¯t allow any fog that he couldn¡¯t see through.


    He focused his eyes, narrowing his field of vision to the grey mark. He powered up his Observing Stars Technique and started to minutely observe.


    Gradually, he noticed the origin of the grey mark.


    Next, his gaze met a pair of blood-red pupils.


    At that very moment, an invisible shapeless thought knife had already followed the unseen connection, slashing into his gaze.


    Ding Chundzhi felt his Observing Stars Technique being severed by the Divine Slash. It had even invaded his sea of knowledge.


    He immediately destroyed the big screen displaying Chen Mobai, severing their visual connection. He then crushed a talisman in his cuff, transferring the retaliatory power from his sea of knowledge to his physical body.


    With a ¡®shh¡¯ sound!


    Unexpectedly, an oblique wound appeared on his right eye, which he used previously to observe Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Sword Sha. Drops of bright red blood slowly seeped out.


    The two scars on the eyelid crossed to form an X, but the unbearable pain for Ding Chundzhi was the feeling as if his right eye was slashed.


    But given that someone was observing him, he could only grit his teeth and suppress the pain.


    After a long while, Ding Chundzhi finally suppressed all the backlash and sighed a breath of relief.


    ¡°What did you see?¡±


    The sunglass-wearing young lady sat by the window as before, only this time she turned her back to the port, looking straight at Ding Chundzhi. As she spoke, she released the five fingers of her right hand that were forming a seal behind her back.


    ¡°Spiritual power realm at the third level of the foundation, divine consciousness intensity at the fifth level of the foundation, possesses a rank-3 artifact which seems to harbour hidden powers. However, I focused all my power on his sea of knowledge in order to observe his divine consciousness forming in the Purple Mansion¡­¡±


    After selectively bragging about what he had seen, Ding Chundzhi removed his hand from his right eye. The sight of his blood-soaked half-eye socket made the sunglass-wearing girl fall silent.


    ¡°I was careless this time, but I won¡¯t be observing this fellow the next time.¡±


    What Ding Chundzhi thought was that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, the next time they met, his divine consciousness intensity would definitely be stronger. Having been wounded by his sword intent just this once, if his cultivation improves even further, his eye would probably be blinded.


    ¡°Do you need to treat the wound first?¡±


    The sunglass-wearing girl pointed at the cross-shaped sword scar on Ding Chundzhi¡¯s right eye. Although it had stopped bleeding, the sight of it was still rather alarming.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make a call, after all, I¡¯m doing this for Jumang Daoist Academy, they should help out.¡±


    Not long after, a nondescript yellow-faced student in a blue clothes came here with a medical kit.


    ¡°It¡¯s surprising that the top student like you came here personally, I¡¯m quite flattered.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing Zong Zi, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help express his astonishment. The latter merely gave a small smile, after treating his wound, he even placed a verdant Tree of Heaven leaf on his right eye. It seemed like a peculiar eyepatch.


    ¡°It was hard on senior Ding, the promised Tree of Heaven flower has been picked.¡±


    Feeling the cool sensation coming from the Tree of Heaven leaf and hearing Zong Zi¡¯s words, Ding Chundzhi felt that his hard work these past few days was not in vain.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised that my right eye got injured?¡±


    ¡°The Immortal realm is vast, concealing countless uncommon individuals. Perhaps among the participants this time, there are some master-level figures that surpass our imagination.¡±

 Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_2

    Chapter 508: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_2


    Zong Zi nodded slightly, having accurately guessed the truth.


    ¡°Guess who is the cause of these two injuries of mine?¡±


    Sitting on a wooden chair, Ding Chundzhi twirled a pen in his hand and posed a question to Zong Zi.


    ¡°I saw that both were sword wounds when I treated them earlier. One should be from Senior Sister Pei Cui of the Mountain Sea Academy, but I cannot guess who gave the other wound.¡±


    Zong Zi, as the chief disciple of the Sentence Mang Dao Academy this year, was clear about the capabilities of the genius from Astral Observation Academy in front of him. He knew that only a few other individuals could injure Ding Chundzhi with the backlash power.


    Lan Haitian didn¡¯t come, so the only ones left were Pei Qingshuang and Yan Qiongzhi. But Yan Qiongzhi was not skilled in the Sword Dao.


    ¡°It¡¯s this year¡¯s Chief disciple from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi named a person that shocked Zong Zi.


    Of course, he knew about Chen Mobai, but it was precisely because he knew about him that he was more surprised.


    ¡°Has he already reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage!?¡±


    ¡°No, but a mysterious power capable of severing the Observing Stars Technique is hidden within his Divine Sense. I was careless and was injured by him.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, while speaking, raised his pen, pondered for a moment, and then slowly wrote Chen Mobai¡¯s name down after a long time.


    ¡°Take it, this is what I promised you.¡±


    He handed the white piece of paper full of rankings to Zong Zi. The latter showed a surprised look, shook his head, and did not take it.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t there still some people who haven¡¯t come ashore? Shouldn¡¯t Senior Brother Ding wait until he sees them before confirming the rankings?¡±


    ¡°Only Tao Mingqing and the three people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy are left. Even though they are at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, their combat strength won¡¯t exceed my expectations. I can determine their ranks even without watching them. Moreover, the most important thing is that I can¡¯t use the Observing Stars Technique anymore.¡±


    As Ding Chundzhi spoke, he pointed to his well-bandaged right eye.


    If he observes someone¡¯s fate under such an injury, he might lose his life¡¯s Elemental Energy. As precious as the Dalit Flower is, it¡¯s not worth him going to those lengths.


    ¡°In that case, Senior Brother Ding, please rest well.¡±


    Zong Zi, upon hearing this, no longer hesitated and took the paper filled with names from Ding Chundzhi.


    After getting his hands on it and taking a glance, he immediately froze on the spot.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ding, do you think this list of rankings needs to be reconsidered?¡±


    Setting down the piece of paper in his hand, Zong Zi frowned and spoke.


    ¡°I understand what you mean, but I choose to trust the rules that have been passed down in our profession since ancient times.¡±


    ¡°Using the Observing Stars Technique, I¡¯ve looked at everyone who made it ashore, and only the backlash power from Pei Qingshuang and Chen Mobai cannot be resolved.¡±


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang gave me pain, Chen Mobai made me bleed.¡±


    ¡°So, putting them both at the top seems only fair.¡±


    After expressing his reasons, Ding Chundzhi sat back down in his wooden chair, a smile on his face as he gently placed his pen on the table.


    ¡°I see. Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Zong Zi met Ding Chundzhi¡¯s remaining eye, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently. After another polite salute, he rolled up the piece of paper, tucked it into his sleeve, picked up his medicine box, and left.


    ¡°We should also go.¡±


    After watching Zong Zi leave, Ding Chundzhi crumbled the remote control in his hand and rose to his feet, addressing the girl in sunglasses.


    After taking a moment to watch his retreating figure, the girl in the sunglasses also hopped off the window sill and followed him out of the wooden house.


    ¡­


    ¡°Strange.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had just left the Elixir Refining Room, was puzzled and massaged his temples.


    Just now, his Divine Sense had suddenly formed a Divine Slash on its own, aiming at a certain spot in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    However, it lasted only an instant. He regained control over all his Divine Sense quickly, so quickly that it felt like an illusion.


    Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t convenient to meditate here, so Chen Mobai suppressed his doubts and made plans to inspect his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion more carefully when he returned to his own home on Small Leaf Island.


    Chirp Chirp!


    Just as Chen Mobai was leaving, loud bird chirping suddenly rang in his ears. He looked up to see a grey-green bird perched lazily on the branch of a tree nearby, languidly spreading its wings.


    What a lovely day!


    As the sun just rose above the Azure Waves Lake in the distance, Chen Mobai stretched lazily in the intoxicated morning light and headed towards the port.


    However, he missed the black snake coiled in the shadow under the green tree.


    After Chen Mobai left, the bright-eyed gray bird chirped at the small black snake hiding in the shadows.


    The initially restless black snake reluctantly quieted down.


    Chen Mobai, returning to his Small Leaf Island, ran into Bian Jingchun and the others who were planning to go to Wood God Island.


    ¡°President, is Wood God Island fun?¡±


    Everyone thought that Chen Mobai must have had a blast on the island as he was there for three days.


    ¡°I hadn¡¯t had the time, Qing Nu kept me busy for three whole days, I didn¡¯t even get outside.¡±


    Chen Mobai yawned, waved, and walked into his room.


    Seeing this, the team leader, Song Yuexin, was taken aback.


    After leaving the island with the Dance Tool members, she secretly told Zhuang Jialan about Qing Nu coming to pick up Chen Mobai at the shore that day.


    ¡°I heard a rumour that our president was dating the Heavenly Spiritual Root of your Daoist Academy in high school. But because the president and the class flower had an on-and-off relationship, they had to part ways to think about what they truly wanted. It seems that the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Daoist Academy still holds the charm.¡±


    While on their way to Wood God Island, Zhuang Jialan and Song Yuexin chatted non-stop at the forefront of the ship. Unable to resist, Bian Jingchun joined their discussion.


    As the conversation went on, they began to criticize Chen Mobai¡¯s behaviour.


    The faces of Sun Daoji and the others behind them were weird, with envy clearly visible in the eyes of some of the Daoist Academy students who hadn¡¯t graduated yet.


    After landing, the three women went to visit the Dan Medicine Street of the Jumang Daoist Academy hand in hand. However, after visiting only two shops, they discovered a list that was being circulated all over the streets.


    [The most authoritative off-site sparring ranking of the Daoist Academy!]


    [Jumang Daoist Academy invited a heavenly genius for life examination to compile the official expectation list.]


    [This list is named the Foundation list, signifying the deep foundation and strong combat power, and the most probable of reaching Core Formation within the Foundation Establishment Realm.]


    Just seeing these three headlines attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and Bian Jingchun immediately bought a copy from a student wearing a Jumang Daoist Academy shirt.


    Then, she immediately saw her ranking.


    Exactly at tenth place.


    Ranked last amongst all in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.


    For a moment, Bian Jingchun felt a little angry.


    She felt that she could at least advance two places, and if the power of the True Dragon Ding is considered, making it to the top six wouldn¡¯t be impossible.


    Ranked above her were Chi Shicheng and Sun Daoji. However, they were both at the Perfect stage of ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Given Ding Chundzhi had not predicted, and based on previous intel, the ranking was not unreasonable.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang from Shanhai Daoist Academy is only ranked second!¡±


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan is third, Qi Huanzhi fourth, Tao Mingqing fifth, and Lou Fengcheng sixth.¡±


    ¡°The first place is actually him!?¡±


    ¡°The top six include three from the Daoist Academy and three from the Daoist Academy Schools. As of today, there¡¯s not much difference between the Daoist Academy and the Schools. However, I personally think the first place on this list is debatable.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s there to debate? This is unfair¡­¡±


    The Foundation List started printing since the morning, and it only took half a day to spread throughout the entire Jumang Daoist Academy. Virtually everyone visiting the academy had a copy.


    The first place had been a point of strong doubt for everyone.


    Bian Jingchun moved her gaze upwards to see who could be in first place, even overshadowing Pei Qingshuang.

    At that moment, she felt her right hand tighten. Turning to look, she saw Zhuang Jialan gripping her hand tightly. The other one was shaking as she pointed at the name in the first place.


    Not just her, even Song Yuexin was standing dumbstruck in surprise.


    ¡°Could it be Yan Qiongzhi, the number one female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    With this thought in mind, Bian Jingchun finally saw the first place.


    [Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai!]

 Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Sides_1

    Chapter 509: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Sides_1


    On Wood God Island, three unique and elegant female cultivators were seated around a pavilion floating atop a lake, sipping their tea.


    ¡°I can¡¯t accept that Chen Mobai is ranked ahead of me on the list.¡±


    Having finished reading the Foundation List, Pei Qingshuang, a woman of heroic and elegant bearing, furrowed her sharp brows and slapped the piece of paper onto the tea table.


    ¡°I heard from our junior brother Zong that Ding Chundzhi insisted on his opinion, so nobody at the Daoist Academy changed anything. They simply printed it according to his ranking.¡±


    A woman in a green dress, with hair cascading down like a waterfall and a seductive posture, was fiddling with the teaware in her hand. The burgeoning tea leaves shimmered in the teacup, releasing a faintly pleasant aroma as they combined with the boiled water.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t your name on here? If you are first, I would have accepted it, wouldn¡¯t I?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang accepted a cup of clear tea handed to her by Wenren Xuewei, and puzzlingly asked the other female cultivator.


    ¡°Because I didn¡¯t participate.¡±


    The cold, snow-skinned Yan Qiongzhi muttered in a low voice.


    The three of them, poised on the brink of Core Formation within the upper echelons of the Foundation Establishment realm, maintained an excellent relationship.


    ¡°What are you here for, then?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was slightly taken aback ¨C she initially thought Yan Qiongzhi was here for the same matter.


    ¡°I feel that I¡¯ve accumulated enough experience, and I¡¯ve decided to give Core Formation a try, so I came to borrow the rank-5 Water Pulse Spirit Qi from Jumang Daoist Institute.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi said, leaving Pei Qingshuang furrowing her brows.


    ¡°Amongst the three of us, indeed you are the first to take this step. Let me congratulate you in advance.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m only about forty or fifty percent certain.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi shook her head, not accepting Pei Qingshuang¡¯s congratulations.


    ¡°At least you have the courage to take that step. Unlike me, I have to painfully wait for the Jade Return Pill.¡±


    While Pei Qingshuang was confident in her dueling ability, she wanted to be absolutely certain when it came to Core Formation. Hence, she had also taken up a position in the Immortal Sect and would need to put in sixty years of service.


    ¡°What about you? Why are you only ranked seventh? If you used your Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, I probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for you.¡±


    Upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s puzzled question, Wenren Xuewei gave a slight smile and elegantly picked up the teapot, pouring more for her two good friends.


    ¡°It¡¯s just temporary fame. I don¡¯t care about these things.¡±


    ¡°But your fiery personality¡­ This time, the Dance Tool Dao Academy came on strong, sending in three rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates. Obviously, they are gunning for the first spot.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang pointed at Chi Shicheng, Sun Daoji, and Bian Jingchun, who were ranked in the eighties and nineties on the Foundation List, hinting something.


    ¡°Even though the Daoist Academy ranks by overall scores, the world only cares about the person who ranks first. Even if the Dance Tool Dao Academy wins first place in team scores this time, it still cannot change the fact that they are considered weak under certain people¡¯s public opinion manipulation.¡±


    The offline tournament at the Daoist Academy employed a rule where individual scores contributed to team scores.


    Each person could choose ten opponents to duel with ¨C each victory adds one point, each loss deducts one point, and a draw scores zero.


    Each Daoist Academy forms a team of ten, meaning the maximum score they could accumulate was one hundred points.


    The final team rankings were decided by the total team score.


    This rule was implemented because even if an exceptional talent like Xiahou Weihuan emerged from another academy, he wouldn¡¯t be able to compensate for the points his teammates lost due to defeat.


    The reason for this rule was because the Dance Tool Daoist Academy had a poor run previously, having their individual scores surpassed by the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy, hence ending up last in rank.


    From then on, the offline exchange tournament became a team competition.


    If the quality wasn¡¯t enough, they made up with quantity.


    As one of the Four Great Daoist Academies that corralled all the genius cultivators, even the weakest among them had an average strength surpassing that of an academy cultivator.


    This invitation for past graduates to join suited Che Yucheng just fine.


    Even though the three rank-9 Foundation Establishment cultivators, Sun Daoji, were just average among high-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were more than capable of defeating weaker opponents.


    If these three used their tactics properly, they could secure at least twenty points.


    There¡¯s a possibility they could even get first place in an Inter-Sect College rankings, an honor they hadn¡¯t won in a long time.


    However, since the team scores depended on the overall capacity of the Daoist Academy, there had been hardly any fluctuation over the past few decades. Therefore, the public mainly focused on the individual scores.


    The Daoist Academy where the person who ranks first in the individual score list belongs to will be considered the number one university in reality.


    For instance, the title of first in Kunpeng Daoist Academy was obtained by the previous generation of chiefs like Lan Haitian and Qi Huanzhi.


    And this is why other Daoist Academies only send the past year¡¯s chief to make an appearance.


    For the Dance Tool Daoist Academy to send three at once, it seemed like they¡¯re showing signs of weakness.

    ¡°Should this require a follow-up maneuver?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang glanced ardently at Chen Mobai, the top of the Foundation List, and spoke up.


    ¡°If you¡¯re upset about it, just express your feelings. I only need to ensure my individual ranking stays within the top four.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei casually stated her goal for this duel. Jumang Daoist Academy never cared much about rankings. They sought out Ding Chundzhi to establish this list to prepare some prizes in advance.


    ¡°I heard from my mother that they have Enlightenment Tea as a prize this time, are you sure you don¡¯t want to aim for it?¡±

 Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Parties - Part 2

    Chapter 510: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Parties ¨C Part 2


    Upon revealing a piece of news in jest, Pei Qingshuang made the expressions of Wen Renshu and Yan Qiongzhi change slightly.


    ¡°Enlightenment Tea?!¡±


    ¡­


    In the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s stronghold.


    A cold smirk spread across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face when he finished viewing the Foundation List in his hand before he skimmed it with his hand.


    An orange high-end badge flickered between his fingers. Within the blink of an eye, it became ashes that scattered across the lake, carried by the island¡¯s fresh wind.


    ¡°Congratulations Senior on achieving the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, unbeatable in the Foundation Establishment realm!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Si Ma Xingyu revealed a face of joy.


    ¡°Hmph, this time I will challenge everyone of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy one by one. I will thoroughly defeat them, turning this offline discussion into a disgrace that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy cannot wash off even after ten or one hundred years.¡±


    With the pride and vigor of someone who had achieved Sword Sha, Xiahou Weihuan had broader words than his might.


    The Foundation cultivators accompanying him from the Pure Yang Academy were full of confidence.


    ¡°Our Pure Yang Academy is finally about to achieve first place in individual ranking.¡±


    Si Ma Xingyu, who was closest to Xiahou Weihuan, was very clear about the power of Primordial Yang Sword Sha. Witnessing the latter achieving such power, he eagerly foresaw the first ever ranking of Pure Yang Academy as the actual first place since its establishment.


    ¡­


    The Kunpeng Daoist Institute is located on Da Ye Island, which is on two sides east and west across Wood God Island from the Small Leaf Island of Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Sitting on top of the highest cliff of the island, Qi Huanzhi was absorbing the morning purple qi. He glanced at the Foundation List given by Nangong Xiu, put it aside without expression, and continued to practice the ¡®Six Superintendency Bright Part¡¯ diligently.


    His disregard had Nangong Xiu¡¯s admiration.


    ¡°Although Chen Mobai can also be considered a prodigy, your ¡®Six Superintendency Rain Part¡¯ perfectly restrains his fire attribute sword light. This offline exchange of learning can give you a chance to seize victory by defeating him and skyrocket your reputation. So naturally after I graduate next year, you will assume my role as the Institute¡¯s Head.¡±


    Taishi Shu spoke in such a way after seeing Nangong Xiu.


    ¡°Yes, I will definitely not let you down, President.¡±


    After getting Taishi Shu¡¯s encouragement, Nangong Xiu who usually has a shy demeanor was full of confidence for once.


    ¡­


    Over at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    After Lou Fengcheng finished reading, he put the table-list aside and began to arrange the matchups.


    ¡°This time, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy will undoubtedly be the target of everyone¡¯s arrows. The team from Jumang Daoist Academy lacks fighting spirit, so we must aim for second place and strive for first. I don¡¯t stand much chance of going against Qi Huanzhi, so you must overcome Taishi Shu. That way our Repairing Heaven Institute can legitimately surpass Kunpeng in public face and become the number one Sect.¡±


    Upon finishing speaking, Ling Daoist teacher nodded in silence.


    Zong Zi of Jumang Daoist Academy practised the ¡®Immovable Cultivation¡¯ method, which made him possess massive blood vitality and spiritual power, and extraordinarily strong defense. But his offense capacity was mediocre, so Ling Daoist teacher could only fight him to stalemate.


    Therefore among the chiefs of the four Daoist Academies, only Taishi Shu would be his opponent who had to be dealt with all his might.


    As for Chen Mobai from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, this number one on paper was not a real challenge. He knew just to look at him and pass.


    Even some of the academy chiefs in the top ten were not even at his realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°The person who made the ranking list seems to quite understand!¡±


    On Small Leaf Island, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show admiration after seeing the Foundation List brought by Zhuang Jialan.


    Isn¡¯t he the number one in the Foundation realm!


    ¡°President, according to the original plan, you should keep a low profile. So, let the three senior sisters like Bian Jingchun lead the charge. They can probe the graduates from the other Daoist Academies on your behalf. Finally, you can then make the final decisive strike.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was frustrated. As soon as this Foundation List came out, Chen Mobai, who was ranked first, could no longer keep a low profile. He was destined to receive attention from start to finish.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Under absolute power, there won¡¯t be any changes in the result. Our Academy will return to the position where we belong.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s confident words moved Zhuang Jialan, who nodded lightly in response.


    ¡°Right, at the beginning of next year, I need to take the Rank-2 Talisman Maker test. Now that I have some spare time, can you help me review the drawing of those ten talismanic scrolls?¡±


    There were still two days left for offline Daoist Academy communications. After quietly sitting for half a day, Chen Mobai had regained his peak state. He felt that there was no need to be so tense in front of these opponents, so he wanted to use talisman-making to relax his mood.


    ¡°Alright, President.¡±


    Upon hearing that she could be of some assistance, Zhuang Jialan couldn¡¯t help but show a happy expression on her elegant face, framed by her glasses.


    ¡­


    The time for the offline exchange and competition quickly arrived.


    With Zhuang Jialan¡¯s help, Chen Mobai donned his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, tied up his long black hair, and headed out to the shore.


    The other eight, including Bian Jingchun, were already waiting for him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and get a glimpse of the talented individuals from the immortal schools,¡± Chen Mobai said, leading the group to the water bridge formed by Song Yuexin and Wang Mengyuan over the lake.


    As he moved, the remaining nine from the Dance Tool Dao Academy followed.


    The ten individuals, like a continuous sheet of fiery red and black clouds, quickly advanced over the lake. Before long, they arrived at Wood God Island.


    ¡°What a coincidence, Senior Lou,¡± Chen Mobai greeted Lou Fengcheng with a big laugh as he saw ten people dressed in the colorful clothes of the Repairing Heaven Institute approaching from across the lake.


    Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him, but out of politeness, he nodded in response.


    At that moment, another ten individuals dressed in red and yellow robes flew over from the lake¡ªit was Xiahou Weihuan and his group from the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave them a cold look. With a snort and a flick of his sleeve, he ignored them, heading directly for the shore.


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes were icy, but he did not flare up at that moment.


    The others from Pure Yang Academy, having borne with this for so long, could hold on a little longer.


    ¡°Just wait!¡±


    This thought filled the hearts of all those from Pure Yang Academy. Once the contest began, they would enjoy the desolate expressions on the faces of the Dance Tool Dao Academy members after Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s victorious one-against-ten match.


    ¡°Sima Xingyu, we still have a score to settle,¡± Ling Daoist suddenly challenged Sima Xingyu. He had been defeated by Sima Xingyu back when Little Red Sky had just opened. But Chen Mobai¡¯s words at the airport had reminded him about it.


    Although he didn¡¯t care much about the defeat, as a first seat, he had to clear away this stain from the reputation of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°I¡¯m always ready. But I¡¯ll challenge Chen Mobai from Dance Tool Dao Academy first. You can wait for my second round,¡± Sima Xingyu replied.


    Sima Xingyu had thrown away his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment tier-6 to target Chen Mobai, but he got tricked and matched up with Lan Haitian, resulting in a disastrous defeat. He had taken healing pills for the past two years to recover his strength, but the resentment in his heart had never been vented.


    Xiahou Weihuan was aware of this, hence, before his ten-to-one competition, he let Sima Xingyu take his rage out on Chen Mobai. After which, he¡¯d step in and have another round.


    This way, they could completely trample over the reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Ling Daoist initially wanted to tell Sima Xingyu that Chen Mobai had been passed on to him.


    But upon second thought, it seemed laughable. How could a mere rank-3 Foundation Establishment tier dare to say that he ¡°yielded¡± someone? It was obviously an excuse because he dared not face them directly.


    Well, he would let Sima Xingyu get rid of his inner demon first, then he would defeat Sima Xingyu to show everyone the power of the ¡°Guidance Book¡±.


    Thinking of this, Ling Daoist didn¡¯t bother saying anything more to Sima Xingyu.


    Lou Fengcheng and Xiahou Weihuan exchanged glances, a touch of astonishment flashing across their eyes as they seemed to sense something. But Lou didn¡¯t say anything. After all, everyone knew that the target of Pure Yang Academy was only Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°See you soon.¡±


    After bidding Xiahou Weihuan farewell, Lou Fengcheng led his team from Repairing Heaven Institute, following behind the disappearing figures of the ten from Dance Tool Dao Academy, towards the venue of the competition.


    Xiahou Weihuan wore a smile. Just now, in their silent exchange, he had slight upper hand over Lou Fengcheng in their contest of divine senses.

    As expected, having cultivated the Sword Sha, he was indeed unmatched among those at the same stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Unfortunately, each person could only participate ten times. He had decided to use these ten opportunities to carry out a one-against-ten match against Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Should he leave a slot for Pei Qingshuang?


    To prove that he is the no.1 sword cultivator in the Foundation Building Realm!


    With this in mind, Xiahou Weihuan confidently led his team onto Wood God Island.

 Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Chapter 352: If You Use the Sword, I Admit Defeat_1

    Chapter 511: Chapter 352: If You Use the Sword, I Admit Defeat_1


    The venue for this contest is located at the heart of Jumang Daoist Academy, where the Grand Camphor Tree stands.


    Surprisingly, it is a lake on an island.


    The center of the lake is where the number one spirit plant in the immortal world is located, and their battlefield is this very lake.


    Chen Mobai had thought he arrived early enough, but he was surprised to find that the Kunpeng Daoist Institute arrived even earlier, with ten people wearing flying fish suits standing on a platform, suspended by a huge branch of the Grand Camphor Tree.


    As the hosts, Jumang Daoist Academy was, of course, already present.


    ¡°Friends from Dance Tools Dao Academy, please come this way.¡±


    A young man, dressed in blue robes and possessing a steady aura, called out to Chen Mobai and his group.


    ¡°Chen Senior, this is the chief of our Jumang.¡±


    Song Yuexin, who led the team, quickly introduced to Chen Mobai, but Chen Mobai had already seen Zong Zi¡¯s magic duel video in Little Red Sky and recognized the chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you all, friends from Jumang and Kunpeng.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted the twenty people from the two major Daoist Academies standing on the platform and subsequently led the people behind him towards their branch platform.


    But the moment his feet left the ground, he felt a slight tug of pressure on his shoulders.


    ¡°This Azure Fall Lake is the territory of the Grand Divine Tree, and the higher you fly, the more pressure you face. It is said that only those who have achieved Divinity Transformation can reach the top of the tree.¡±


    As the host, Song Yuexin immediately reminded them. Chen Mobai glanced at the locations of the platforms of the other two Academies. All were close to the surface of the lake, about three meters in height.


    The platform where Dance Tool Daoist Academy was located was a little lower, about two meters high.


    ¡°It is just above the height they can handle.¡±


    Sun Daoji felt the pressure and glanced at the weakest cultivators, Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and Zhai Jianbai, and softly spoke.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, get on my ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, not minding this at all. The red bracelet on his wrist turned into a cloud of mist, bringing along not only the ten of them, but also Song Yuexin and Wang Mengyuan, flying them up to the platform belonging to their Academy.


    ¡°President, did we drag everyone down?¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan asked somewhat embarrassedly, and Zhuang Jialan also wore a face full of guilt. With this opening, the contest had effectively begun.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. After all, we will be the ones winning first place in the end.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand nonchalantly, not forcing the platform to rise any higher. He just stood on the edge of the platform, observing the clear and green lake below. The massive, sprawling roots of the Grand Camphor Tree could be clearly seen through the water surface.


    This number one spirit plant in the immortal world was rooted in the center of Azure Waves Lake, which is the core of the rank-5 Water Vein.


    ¡°Buto is here as well.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was observing the Grand Camphor Tree, Sun Daoji spoke.


    Perhaps there was some unspoken rule, or it was arranged by the Jumang Daoist Academy in advance, the ten major academies started making their appearance one by one only after all four Daoist Academies were gathered.


    Following right after Buto, naturally, was the Pure Yang Academy led by Xiahou Weihuan.


    Then came Taiyuan, Shanhai, Guan Xing, True Spirit, Natural, Tian Shu, Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi, Wulei, all arriving one after another.


    ¡°This time, the attendees are all at the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Sun Daoji took an unobtrusive look at the fourteen branch platforms and the 140 cultivators from the Daoist Academies and couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    ¡°Oh, were there Qi Practitioners participating in the past? Could it be that they couldn¡¯t gather ten at the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it hard to believe.


    ¡°Yes, the academies ranked towards the bottom occasionally have a few generations of talent at a lower level. When there was no choice, they could only send Qi Disciples to make up the numbers.¡±


    Chi Shicheng, the oldest of the group, took out a monocle, stepped off the platform, stood on a branch of the Grand Camphor Tree, and carefully examined the surroundings while answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    His main reason for coming was to observe this number one spirit plant in the immortal world.


    Upon hearing that, Chen Mobai nodded with a realization.


    Even though Dance Tools Daoist Academy is at the bottom among the top four, an average success rate of seventy or eighty percent for Foundation Establishment had given him the illusion that Foundation Establishment was easy.


    He had completely forgotten about the example of Meng Huang who was still struggling at the threshold of Foundation Establishment.


    Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the immortal world spend their entire lives stuck at the Qi Cultivation stage.


    ¡°This time, graduated disciples are allowed to participate. Even if it¡¯s the academies on the lower ends, they can muster up a full team at the Foundation Establishment stage. If this contest is successfully held, it may become the norm in the future.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, a civil servant from Crimson City, had a keen sense and vaguely sensed that this might be a trial from the higher-ups.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea. The future path and rankings should be left to the future junior disciples to decide. If we win everything for them, they will have no room to grow in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and expressed his opinion.


    His words met with the agreement of most people.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this contest could not be changed anymore.


    Feeling that the gaze of more than ninety percent of the people on the fourteen branch platforms of the Grand Camphor Tree had fallen on himself, Chen Mobai gently smiled and stood at the front, letting everyone see him more clearly.


    ¡°If everyone is present, isn¡¯t it time to begin? I¡¯m already a bit impatient.¡±


    Nobody expected the first to speak would be Chen Mobai.


    [Did this guy really think of himself as number one?!]

 Chapter 512 - Chapter 512: Chapter 352: If I Use the Sword, Consider Me Defeated_2

    Chapter 512: Chapter 352: If I Use the Sword, Consider Me Defeated_2


    Sharp gazes, akin to swords, were directed at the platform where the Dance Tool Dao Academy was established, and what made Chen Mobai feel most perturbed was a valiant woman from the Mountain and Sea School wearing a dark green fitted dress, a sword at her waist, and having well-rounded, lengthy legs.


    This must be Pei Qingshuang.


    [Not bad, she¡¯s worthy of being next in line to me on the list.]


    Feeling the tangible sword intent within Pei Qingshuang¡¯s gaze, Chen Mobai suddenly had an urge to spar and learn from her.


    The exchange of glances between the two naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Ahem, ahem!¡±


    Seeing the discussions arise, Zong Zi, acting as the host under the prompting glances from Wenren Xuewei, had to clear his throat, draw everyone¡¯s gaze to himself and recall the past, envisioning the present.


    ¡°The offline discussions of the Daoist Academy originated 5,000 years ago. Initially, only the four of us from the Daoist Academy participated, with the aim of facilitating exchanges and promoting competition among talented individuals to bring out the best in themselves.¡±


    ¡°Subsequently, Taiyuan, Mountain and Sea, Guan Xing, Natural, Tian Shu, and Five Lei, the six major schools, joined.¡±


    ¡°Today, it has become the biggest event encompassing all the young generations within the Daoist Academy. Moreover, for this edition, to allow us to witness the most outstanding cultivators within the same realm, many graduated senior students have been specially invited to participate. As the hosts, we feel immensely honoured¡­¡±


    After a lengthy speech from Zong Zi who then reiterated the rules of the competition, he finally declared the start.


    ¡°The contest¡¯s stage is this Azure Waves Lake. We¡¯ve designated ten areas, all differently shaped. Everyone can choose one as their stage and choose the opponents they want to contest. Of course, your opponents also have the right to refuse.¡±


    ¡°All representative students of the Daoist Academy are required to at least participate in one match every day.¡±


    ¡°This will last for a total of ten days. In the end, individual points accumulated will form the team points, determining the rankings of the Daoist Academies for the upcoming years.¡±


    After finishing his speech, Zong Zi bowed slightly towards the remaining thirteen branch platforms and then scattered a symbol into the Azure Waves Lake below the platform.


    The initially clear lake water began to glow with golden light, forming around the Big Tree, dividing half of the lake into ten varying shaped stages. There were quadrilaterals, triangles and hexagons, among others.


    ¡°Since I have the honour of being the host, let me start¡­¡±


    No sooner had Zong Zi finished speaking than a fiery sword light from the Pure Yang Academy descended first onto the lake¡¯s surface just as Zong Zi was halfway off the Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s branch platform.


    ¡°I, Sima Xingyu from the Pure Yang Academy, wish to learn from the dance weapon academy chief¡¯s expertise.¡±


    Sima Xingyu landed on a rhombus-shaped lakeside platform, holding a broad-bladed longsword in both hands and raising his head to bellow at the site of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Once he stood forward, many True Cultivators from the Daoist Academy, who initially intended to challenge Chen Mobai, halted their steps.


    [What a pity. The chance to make a name has been preempted.]


    This was the thought in most people¡¯s minds at that moment.


    ¡°I refuse.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s terse response made these people¡¯s eyes light up, followed by contemptuous glances.


    Although they knew that the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s cultivation level was merely at the third layer of Foundation Establishment and he had brought three graduates as bodyguards to ensure the academy¡¯s ranking, it was still disillusioning to see Chen Mobai, who had swept across the competition in Little Red Sky, being so evasive. It felt like a myth being shattered.


    They could understand, though, considering Sima Xingyu was at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment and was also a Sword Cultivator who had practiced sword light.


    ¡°What, are you scared?¡±


    Sima Xingyu tilted his head, mocking.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I promised Ling Dao Shi to leave you to him.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated his reason, for he was always a man of his word and would fulfill any promise he made.


    ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you leave today¡¯s battle to me, Senior Brother Chen? I have been displeased with the outcome of our confrontation in Little Red sky.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, Nangong Xiu from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, who had long targeted Chen Mobai as his prime opponent, spoke up.


    ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so popular. I wasn¡¯t satisfied with our battle in Little Red Sky either. If you don¡¯t want to fight them, you can come to me.¡±


    These words came from Lu Qiulong of the True Spiritual Academy. He sat on the platform with his Rank-2 Peak Spirit Beast, the Extremely Wicked Tiger, by him, so formidable that the companion beasts of the other nine Foundation Establishment cultivators from the True Spiritual Academy all shrank to the corners of the platform.


    ¡°Hmph, if you¡¯re scared, just admit it. Using Repairing Heaven Institute as an excuse. It¡¯s because of cowards like you that Dance Tool Dao Academy has been stuck at the fourth rank for so long. The great banner of Crimson City should be held up by us of the Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Seeing someone trying to take his opponent, Sima Xingyue became slightly anxious, worried that Chen Mobai might really choose them to avoid his challenge. He immediately started to verbally attack, his words almost like a curse pointing at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Those with tempers would not


    take such provocations lightly.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Bian Jingchun¡¯s face turned cold, she took a step forward and was about to give Sima Xingyue an unforgettable defeat.


    But Chen Mobai raised his right hand, stopping her.


    If this was one year ago, Bian Jingchun certainly wouldn¡¯t have hesitated at all. But after being defeated by Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha ten times, she began to get used to following the commands of this handsome young man.


    So, she stopped in her tracks.


    ¡°Brother Ling, I¡¯ll defeat him once today, and you can defeat him once tomorrow. That wouldn¡¯t count as me going back on my word, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked towards the Repairing Heaven Institute not far away and calmly asked Ling Daoshi.


    ¡°Whatever you want.¡±


    Ling Daoshi couldn¡¯t be bothered to get involved in the grudge between Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for maintaining his decorum, he actually wanted to challenge Chen Mobai directly.


    ¡°It seems that your status as the number one on the Foundation List has garnered much hatred towards him. Is this your revenge?¡±


    On the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi listened to the words of the girl beside him, and touched his right eye that was healed but still scarred, with a faint smile.


    With a splash sound,


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure descended from the platform, his toe touching the surface of the lake, causing small ripples to spread out.


    ¡°Draw your sword. I want to destroy you in your proud territory, giving you a defeat you will never forget!¡±


    Sima Xingyue saw that Chen Mobai was indeed unable to withstand provocation. He laughed loudly, lifting the wide-bladed longsword in front of him, its fiery red sword light flaring up and creating a dense and hot sword light on the broad blade.


    As the sword light pulsed, Azure Waves Lake began to spread out ripples with Sima Xingyue as the center. All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Daoist Academies felt a sense of oppression when they saw the Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    ¡°Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard Sima Xingyue¡¯s words and showed a puzzled expression. He had no intention of drawing his sword at all.


    He held out a finger and lightly shook it at Sima Xingyue.


    ¡°To deal with you, if I use a sword, consider it as my loss.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, Sima Xingyue¡¯s face turned pale, and the watching Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, aside from those from Dance Tool Dao Academy, were all shocked. Some people even thought Chen Mobai was planning to throw back the earlier insults before his defeat.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna tear your mouth off.¡±


    Sima Xingyue roared in anger, his giant Yang Sword swung up, a glaring Yuan Yang Sword Light accompanied his hands as they slashed down, like a thunderbolt from the sky, bringing a terrifying power which threatened to cut everything in its way, heavily falling towards the top of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Then, in front of everyone¡¯s incredulous eyes,


    Two slender fingers reached out and trapped the giant Yang Sword, filled with faint green electricity.


    ¡°It seems I¡¯ve been keeping a low profile, a character of your caliber even dared to challenge me.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his thumb and forefinger twisted lightly, the swirling Yimu electricity accompanying his words exploded in an instant, like a thunderbolt from his fingertip.

    The lightning was like a tree, the terrifying power of the thunder directly shattered the giant Yang Sword.


    With his two fingers holding the broken blade, Chen Mobai flung it towards the lake on his right, raising massive waves like an electromagnetic cannon.


    If this strike hit Sima Xingyue, it could probably pulverize him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even have the qualification to have me point my sword at you.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai kicked Si Ma Xingyue right off the diamond-shaped lake platform.

 Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_1

    Chapter 513: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_1


    The entire field was silent!


    All the young Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on the platform opened their eyes wide, looking with disbelief at the young man standing on the lake, dressed in a red and black wide-sleeved robe, with high ponytail hair buns, and a handsome face.


    Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking they might be hallucinating or misseeing.


    The face of Nangong Xiu, who had previously said he wanted to challenge Chen Mobai, immediately collapsed. He sighed, his eyes filled with melancholy.


    Lu Qiulong also slightly furrowed his brows, once resting comfortably on the soft fur of his Spirit Beast on the platform, his demeanor was relaxed, but at this moment, his brows creased, his expression serious.


    Behind him, among the nine Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the True Spiritual Academy, Gong Xiangyu, who had only just successfully established his Foundation this year and managed to join the offline friendly matches, used to secretly scoff at Chen Mobai for becoming everyone¡¯s target, being pointed at by others.


    But he couldn¡¯t laugh now.


    He looked at his peer standing on the lake, strong like a thunder god, and felt an emotion akin to frustration welling up in his heart.


    Back in Red Sandstone City, when he lost to Chen Mobai, he totally didn¡¯t accept it, believing it was just because he wasn¡¯t good at fighting. If he wasn¡¯t so arrogant and had learned some dueling before the entrance exam, he was sure he would¡¯ve won.


    On their second encounter, Chen Mobai had just successfully established his foundation. Gong Xiangyu thought it was only good luck. If he had the faculty strength and resource techniques of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could have reached Foundation Establishment at that time too.


    This was their third meeting, and it was exactly this time.


    For the first time, Gong Xiangyu realized that he lost to Chen Mobai in all aspects of cultivation and dueling just because he wasn¡¯t as good.


    Compared to Chen Mobai, he felt as if he was completely worthless.


    No wonder at that time even a person with the blue female celestial spirit root would choose a guy who didn¡¯t seem special at all.


    During the entrance exam, when facing the broken Dao Heart of Chen Mobai, Gong Xiangyu had barely healed over the last seven years, but at this moment, it broke open again, and the crack was much larger than before.


    This time, Gong Xiangyu didn¡¯t even have the thought of catching up or surpassing him.


    ¡°Really, I didn¡¯t expect my opening duel to be against an eighth layer Foundation Establishment, such a weak opponent.¡±


    After Chen Mobai kicked Sima Xingyu away, he lamented in dissatisfaction.


    His words caused the fists of everyone at Pure Yang Academy to tighten, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face turned furious. With a ¡°Peng¡± sound, he landed on the surface of the lake, instantly forming an intent to attack, his right hand swiftly forming a sword and aimed directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    A soft shout was heard, a girl in a green dress had already appeared in front of Chen Mobai. She swung her hand lightly, an invisible, staggering pressure dropped from the sky, and seemed to petrify Xiahou Weihuan, who froze in an instant.


    With a bang, the orange-red glow flickered in Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes, he forced himself free from the stagnation, but he dared not stand in front of the girl in the green dress and retreated ten steps.


    ¡°Wenren Xuewei!¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan looked at the girl in the green dress with a hint of fear. If he hadn¡¯t developed Sword Sha, he would probably have been slaughtered by her just now!


    ¡°Junior brother Chen has just fought a match, and you violate the rules by attacking him without declaring a challenge,¡±


    As Wenren Xuewei spoke, her bright white fingers waved subtly, like undulating water currents. Rings of invisible ripples carrying a terrifying pressure swept towards the fourteen platforms.


    ¡°I¡¯ll remind one last time, if anyone breaks the rules again, I will see it as a challenge to the dignity of Jumang Daoist Academy. Although I¡¯m not fond of fighting, suppressing any of you is not a problem.¡±


    In between her speaking, a vast spiritual power that made everyone tremble with fear exploded from the Divine Tree behind her. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators felt an involuntary sense of prospective death in that instant.


    ¡°The Lasting Spring Cultivation!!!¡± Gasped Chi Shicheng when he realized this. Only cultivators who had mastered this Divinity Transformation technique could borrow the power of the Divine Tree. Wenren Xuewei¡¯s ability to do this was undoubtedly a proof that she had mastered one of the supreme mystical techniques that had the highest threshold in this Daoist sect.


    ¡°Although I appreciate you stepping in, Sister, why do I feel like you¡¯re helping him?¡±


    At the moment when all the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were silenced under the pressure of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, Chen Mobai¡¯s somewhat unsatisfied voice came from behind Wenren Xuewei.


    She turned her head after hearing this, her face carrying a hint of annoyance.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°Sima Xingyu is such a minor character, he can¡¯t even let me warm up. Xiahou Weihuan attacked me without regard for the rules, and I can also go against the rules to defeat him seriously. You stopped my move, I can¡¯t act angrily and do heavy moves.¡±


    When Chen Mobai finished, everyone took a deep cold breath.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Can such words be spoken in front of a grand audience?


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan was also enraged by Chen Mobai¡¯s contemptuous attitude. However, at this time, he finally remembered Sima Xingyu and quickly turned around to chase after the junior who was kicked away to an unknown place by Chen Mobai.


    He was deeply afraid that Chen Mobai, the tricky top student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, had seriously injured him during their brief confrontation.


    Sima Xingyu had already damaged his foundation by wasting his cultivation level. If he was heavily injured again this time, his path to the Gold Core might became bleak.

 Chapter 514 - Chapter 514: Chapter 353 Tallying Up the Opponents_2

    Chapter 514: Chapter 353 Tallying Up the Opponents_2


    Therefore, despite his anger, Xiahou Weihuan was clear-minded enough to prioritize. He instructed the chief of Pure Yang Academy to handle the situation here, while he himself went to find Sima Xingyu who had been kicked away.


    ¡°Has he run away? Alas, I was hoping to warm up.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw the disappearing figure of Xiahou Weihuan turned into a light of fire, he dissipated the thunderbolts flickering in his hand with a regretful tone.


    ¡°Chen Mobai of Dance Tool Dao Academy wins, earning 1 point.¡±


    At this moment, Zong Zi on the platform finally reacted and immediately announced the result of the first match.


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s momentum was too strong just now. Thankfully Wen Ren Xuewei intervened. Otherwise, had he and Chen Mobai the monster irresponsibly started to fight each other, this offline match of the Daoist Academy could have lost control from the start.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you have already won, why not go up first?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei tried to persuade Chen Mobai with patience.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t everyone have the chance to spar ten times? Since I¡¯ve already stepped down, I should at least stretch my muscles.¡±


    Chen Mobai said cryptically, looking at the green-clad girl in front of him with slightly gleaming eyes. The reputation of Lasting Spring Cultivation was indeed great. On the rare occasion that someone managed to cultivate it, he longed to try it himself.


    ¡°You mean you want to spar with me?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    ¡°Would Senior Sister please offer me guidance?¡±


    ¡°I refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought Wen Ren Xuewei was challenging him, but he didn¡¯t expect an outright refusal.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°There are ten days of offline matches. To ensure that all ten days will be exceptional, you, who draws the crowd the most, are better off fighting one match a day.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei said something quite playful, an excuse that Chen Mobai did not anticipate.


    ¡°Then when would Senior Sister be willing to offer guidance?¡±


    ¡°Anytime you like, as long as it¡¯s not today, I will spare one out of my remaining nine days for you.¡±


    This sentence of Wen Ren Xuewei earned the admiration of everyone present.


    The terrifying power that Chen Mobai demonstrated in defeating Sima Xingyu far exceeded that of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even Qi Huanzhi and Lou Fengcheng, who were always haughty, were silenced by Chen Mobai¡¯s Thunder Method that shattered a sword with a mere snap of his fingers. They were considering how they would deal with such a spell.


    Even Nangong Xiu had started to hide behind Taishi Shu. He was already lacking confidence and deeply feared that Chen Mobai would remember his ignorant words and pull him out for a beating.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯ve decided.¡±


    After hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai brightened up, snapped his fingers, and began selecting his opponents for the following days.


    ¡°Although one of my ten rounds has been wasted by a clueless fool, the remaining nine rounds must provide me with worthy opponents.¡±


    If Chen Mobai had said this before defeating Sima Xingyu, everyone would have thought that he was making excuses not to fight.


    But now, the True Cultivators on the fourteen platforms all had grave expressions. Some averted their eyes, fearing that Chen Mobai might pick them.


    ¡°Jialan, give me that thing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shouted at the Dance Tool Dao Academy platform, and Zhuang Jialan immediately pulled out the Foundation List from her bag and tossed it over the lake.


    ¡°Let¡¯s follow this, those ranked below me come one by one.¡±


    As he unrolled the Foundation List, Chen Mobai turned to face the platform of Shan Hai Academy. His eyes met with the fierce gaze of Pei Qingshuang. The latter¡¯s left hand was steadying the trembling sword hilt at his waist, calming the impulse of the renowned sword to leave its sheath.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang of Shan Hai Academy, since you are ranked just below me, be my opponent on the last day.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Pei Qingshuang stepped forward and nodded assertively.


    ¡°I hope your sword will not disappoint me.¡±


    Then, Chen Mobai replied: ¡°You are worthy of me drawing my sword.¡±


    After saying this, he did not wait for Pei Qingshuang to respond. He turned and faced the platform of Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan, you should be ready on the penultimate day.¡±


    His disdainful attitude made the remaining eight Foundation Establishment true cultivators of Pure Yang Academy feel humiliated, but they dared not retort.


    With Xiahou Weihuan absent, the current chief of Pure Yang gritted his teeth and agreed. However, his previous unbeatable confidence bred from the Sword Sha was gradually fading.


    He even began to wonder if the Sword Sha could break Chen Mobai¡¯s Thunder Method.


    ¡°The fourth on the Foundation List is¡­ Qi Huanzhi.¡±


    Chen Mobai seemed to only remember the top three, upon reaching this point, he had to flip the list to confirm that it was from Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    This action made Taishi Shu and others frown, feeling that Chen Mobai was looking down on Qi Huanzhi.


    But at this point, no one dared to speak up in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    On the side of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, the only one qualified to respond to Chen Mobai was Qi Huanzhi. He said a word calmly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Fifth place, Tao Mingqing!¡±


    Chen Mobai did not know him, but since he could rank here, and received high praise from Sun Daoji, he must be a person of extraordinary talent.


    Tao Mingqing had a scholarly appearance, but despite his young age, he sported a beard. His whole person exuded an air of transcendent elegance.


    ¡°I am ready at any time.¡±


    In response to Chen Mobai¡¯s call-out, he waved his hand with a smile.

 Chapter 515 - Chapter 515: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_3

    Chapter 515: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_3


    ¡°The sixth rank belongs to you, Senior Lou. I hold you in high esteem, but since you have this rank, I fear that if I don¡¯t challenge you, people might gossip about your Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused Lou Fengcheng¡¯s eye to twitch, making it seem like he¡¯d already defeated him.


    Yet, the terrifying memory of the Rank-3 Thunder Method made him suppress the retort that threatened to burst forth. In the end, he simply said one word.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°As the seventh, you¡¯ll be my opponent on the fifth day. Are you okay with that?¡±


    After challenging everyone, Chen Mobai turned back to Wenren Xuewei beside him and politely asked her opinion.


    ¡°I suggest you save me for the last day, so you don¡¯t lose your invincibility by losing to me, which might affect your future battles.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words lit up Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    She has a similar personality to mine.


    ¡°Placing you at the seventh rank would discredit this Foundation List.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words rendered Ding Chundzhi of the Astral Observation Academy somewhat restless upon their platform.


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s strength was undoubtedly the best among those present. She wasn¡¯t inferior to Pei Qingshuang in any way.


    However, since she didn¡¯t allow divination, Ding Chundzhi had no choice but to place her seventh.


    The subsequent eighth to tenth ranks belong to Chi Shicheng, Sun Daoji, and Bian Jingchun from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Of course, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t going to challenge them; he immediately turned his gaze to the eleventh rank.


    Ding Chundzhi.


    ¡°I¡¯m not good at Magic Duels. If you challenge me, I¡¯ll concede today.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes landed on the Astral Observation Academy¡¯s platform, Ding Chundzhi immediately waved his hands. Ignoring his own stature of Foundation Establishment Perfection, he straightaway conceded.


    ¡°So there are three matches left.¡±


    Chen Mobai, too, was not the kind to keep pressuring. Seeing Ding Chundzhi¡¯s response, he decided to let him go, muttering to himself as he reassessed the rankings.


    ¡°The eleventh is me.¡±


    Lu Qiulong took the initiative to speak. He stood up, looking directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Senior Lu, your cultivation level is a bit low. Why don¡¯t we skip our duel? I¡¯ll reserve the last three matches for the chiefs of the three major academies.¡±


    Recalling the time when Lu Qiulong had given a white cat to Hua Zijing in Crimson City, Chen Mobai decided to show rare leniency and suggested skipping their duel.


    However, his remarks caused Lu Qiulong¡¯s mouth to twitch. What does he mean his cultivation level is low? Isn¡¯t Chen Mobai only at Foundation Establishment Third Layer?


    Compared to the other opponents, all at Foundation Establishment Perfection, the seventh level Foundation Establishment Lu Qiulong was indeed inferior.


    But he has a Rank-2 Peak companion beast. His combat power with the Imperial Soul Combination Strike was highly praised by Lan Haitian.


    The Repairing Heaven Group even invited Lu Qiulong to replace Lan Haitian as the leader of Group Six, demonstrating his formidable combat capabilities.


    ¡°During our fight at Little Red Sky, I didn¡¯t get to exhibit my full power. This opportunity is rare, and I want to witness your swordsmanship.¡±


    Lu Qiulong, also a man of honor, didn¡¯t accept Chen Mobai¡¯s offer and directly challenged him instead.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said it this way, Senior Lu, I¡¯ll make an exception again.¡±


    Chen Mobai had initially planned not to use his sword against opponents who hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection level, as it seemed too overbearing.


    I¡¯ll consider it as returning the favor for the cat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°So, there are two matches left¡­ It would have been perfect to distribute them among the chiefs of the three Daos if not for Sima Xingyu provoking me. Then, I could have completed the feat of overpowering my peers.¡±


    Just like a pleasant nap being disturbed by a mosquito, Chen Mobai looked at the Pure Yang Academy with dissatisfaction again.


    Ling Daoshi, Taishi Shu, and Zong Zi¡¯s brows furrowed.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide his voice, making them feel like there was a sword hanging over their heads. They wanted to fight back, but recalling the Rank-3 Thunder Method left them pessimistic about their chances.


    Why is this Head of Disciples so strong amongst the others?

 Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_1

    Chapter 516: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_1


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen is very powerful, I admit that I am inferior. The remaining two rounds can be left to Senior Brother Ling and Junior Sister Taishi.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was perplexed, Zong Zi, who was the host, stood up, voluntarily acknowledged defeat, and solved his worries.


    ¡°Very good, very good!¡±


    You Ling and Taishi Shu listened and didn¡¯t know if they should say something in their hearts.


    But they didn¡¯t have the same thick skin as Zong Zi and had to reluctantly accept Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation to spar.


    ¡°Same time tomorrow, I¡¯ll be waiting for you here.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at Taishi Shu, and after saying these words, threw the Foundation List in his hand to Zhuang Jialan on the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute. He then turned around, walking towards the direction outside the lake with his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai walking past her, Wenren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me to fight once a day? My quota for today is used up, there¡¯s no use staying here, I might as well go find a friend.¡±


    Chen Mobai retorted curiously instead.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to watch the duel of your opponent? Like me, I might have a spell as powerful as your Thunder method!¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words earned a shake of the head from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Either way, the result is the same, what difference does it make to watch or not watch.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai moved his toes and landed by the lake, disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight in two flashes.


    [This guy¡­]


    Seeing this, Pei Qing Shuang¡¯s hand tightened on his sword, if not for Wenren Xuewei calming things down, he probably couldn¡¯t resist drawing his sword and chasing after him.


    Qi Huanzhi continued to wear an expressionless face as usual, while Lou Fengcheng showed signs of unhappiness.


    The remaining opponents all clenched their fists tighter, but when they thought of the astonishing Thunder method earlier, they quietly loosened their grip.


    Only after Chen Mobai left did the heated discussions amongst the hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators begin.


    ¡°So this is the Magic Duel winner who has dominated the Little Red Sky ranking for two years in a row!¡±


    ¡°I originally thought he was unbeatable because of his Sword Light and his low realm level, but it seems like I was wrong. Luckily, his realm level is low, or else he might have already swept through the entire Foundation Building Realm.¡±


    ¡°What nonsense, there¡¯s still Lan Haitian!¡±


    A True Spiritual Academy cultivator couldn¡¯t help but retort when he heard his Spiritual Treasure Academy peer say this.


    ¡°Indeed, Lan Haitian is invincible at the Foundation Establishment level, but I think if this Magic Duel winner from the Dance Tool Dao Academy was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, Lan Haitian might not be his match.¡±


    ¡°Any Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to challenge the number one cultivator in the immortal gate Foundation Building stages. If you said Yan Qiong Zhi, it might be somewhat possible. The power of the Gold Core domain is beyond the imagination of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Hearing such ignorant words, a student from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute couldn¡¯t help but join in, sneeringly saying.


    ¡°If you need to use the power of the Gold Core Domain to be able to defeat the Magic Duel winner, then Lan Haitian is already defeated.¡±


    The Spiritual Treasure Academy cultivator¡¯s words left both the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and True Spiritual Academy speechless, wanting to refute but unable to find a comeback.


    Over at the Dance Instrument Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun and others naturally heard this argument, and couldn¡¯t help but smile at the Spiritual Treasure Academy¡¯s direction.


    After all, it was a school spun off from their own academy, and they were naturally supportive.


    Dai Shiqing, the chief of the Spiritual Treasure Academy, had previously competed with Chen Mobai in the Little Red Sky. He was convinced in his defeat, and after today, Chen Mobai¡¯s status in his mind was already the number one person in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    [Indeed, worthy of being the chief senior brother of the upper court, I am about to graduate, I hope I can pass the application to continue my studies at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The more contact I have with geniuses like Chief Chen, the faster I can progress.]


    Thinking of this, Dai Shiqing waved at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and under Bian Jingchun¡¯s invitation, naturally conversed with them, building relationships early.


    In the meantime, the second duel had already started.


    The two involved also happened to be the very popular chief cultivators of their respective academies.


    Taishi Shu seemed a bit angry, and after Chen Mobai had left, she directly called out Zong Zi.


    The current chiefs of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Jumang Daoist Institute were competing. Had it been before, this certainly would¡¯ve been viewed as the most peak duel.


    Although many Perfection stage graduates were added now, it still attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Jialan, record this match for our fellow student to see when we return. After all, he will compete with Taishi Shu tomorrow, and it¡¯s always good to be more prepared.¡±


    Bian Jingchun reminded Zhuang Jialan, who immediately nodded, took out her mobile phone, and started filming the two chiefs fighting above the lake surface.


    ¡°Since he left early, I¡¯m guessing even if you put it in front of him, he wouldn¡¯t watch.¡±


    Sun Daoji sighed, comparing how the old wave will eventually be surpassed by the new one, he felt old even though he was still young.


    ¡°Record it anyway, other people can also take some pictures of the valuable Magic Duel spars, although Chen Junior Brother appears to be boastful in his words, he¡¯s actually very measured in his actions, a very reliable younger generation.¡± Chi Shicheng, who was observing the Big Tree through a monocle, suddenly spoke.

 Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_2

    Chapter 517: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_2


    He is the eldest and the most experienced. He saw the calm and reliability behind Chen Mobai¡¯s rampant facade.


    Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and others from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, nodded in confusion.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s also select our opponents now. After all, we have to fight once a day, and we should accumulate points in the early days. If we manage to secure the first place, we will challenge Qi Huanzhi and others to identify our shortcomings.¡±


    Bian Jingchun clapped her hands gently, calling Zhongli Tianyu and others over.


    Chen Mobai was not present, and as Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng were older and did not wish to meddle in these matters, the remaining Daoist Academy students came under Bian Jingchun¡¯s management. After all, she had been the chief before graduating.


    ¡°I have already chosen my opponent.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was the first to express his opinion. He looked at Nangong Xiu, the one who had just challenged Chen Mobai, with a cold gaze.


    Since Chen Mobai had already defeated Nangong Xiu and slots to spar with him were valuable, he chose to ignore him.


    However, Zhongli Tianyu thought that it was necessary to teach Nangong Xiu a lesson.


    To let him know that everyone must take responsibility for their words.


    ¡°With your strength, you could even give the other three top students from the Daoist Academy a run for their money. But Nangong Xiu has mastered the Six Sovereigns Rain Technique, so be careful when you spar.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu responded proudly to Bian Jingchun¡¯s reminder.


    ¡°Torrential rain is just the prelude to thunder. When I, the Thunder Emperor, arrive, he will have no choice but to bow down to me!¡±


    Bian Jingchun didn¡¯t bother with the brat anymore; instead, she began guiding the three who had weaker cultivation levels.


    Although Zha Jianbai was at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, as a Sword Cultivator and a genuine Sword Dao genius, he basically ranked fairly high in the sparring matches, unless he encountered the chief students or graduates of the academies.


    Jiang Yuyuan was at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, and Zhuang Jialan was at the first.


    Their participation was just for the sake of it.


    Bian Jingchun only asked them to soak in the atmosphere. If they felt unmatched in strength during the sparring matches, they should immediately concede.


    Now that the Dance Tool Dao Academy had sent three cultivators at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, along with the monster-like Chen Mobai, they were essentially guaranteed to secure the first place for the group scores.


    Even if these two lost all ten matches, they would still technically contribute.


    While intense discussions about strategizing were happening here, Chen Mobai had already arrived at the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be at the Divine Tree?¡±


    Looking at him walking in, Qing Nu asked with surprise. Her right hand never left the sand furnace where she was refining the Camel Fat Ointment, using her extremely pure Wood Spirit Power to control the flame¡¯s temperature. Simultaneously, she used her Divine Sense to adjust the integration and reaction of the primary and auxiliary medicines.


    ¡°My opponents are too weak. That Cameo girl from your academy saw the massive traffic I naturally attract and wouldn¡¯t let me finish all ten matches in one day, so I came to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai walked up to Qing Nu with a smile and reached out his right hand to take over control of the flame¡¯s temperature from her.


    The two of them often cooperated while refining elixirs, and their coordination was remarkable.


    Once Chen Mobai injected his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Qing Nu slowly withdrew her Wood Spirit Power.


    ¡°At the beginning, the temperature of the flames needs to be constantly changed due to the various medicinal properties, so we manually control it. But when it comes to mid-stage of medicine fusion, we can use the temperature control formation that this sand furnace naturally possesses for mechanical operation. I just need to check the fusion conditions of the medicine ingredients daily to ensure they are within normal limits.¡±


    After withdrawing her hand, Qing Nu did not stop to rest. Her Divine Sense remained detached and resided within the sand furnace, orchestrating the order of the ingredients¡¯ refinement.


    ¡°Actually, I can manage it on my own. If you have free time, you can explore this place. Both Ten Thousand Waters and the Forest House Cave have the most beautiful natural scenery within the Immortal Gate. It¡¯s rare that you¡¯re here, don¡¯t miss it.¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai shook his head without thinking.


    ¡°I don¡¯t enjoy sightseeing. If I have time, I usually stay home to meditate and cultivate Qi. I prefer the feeling of mastering spells and improving myself.¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s lips curled up slightly.


    It was still him, utterly unchanged.


    She remembered clearly that in Red Sandstone City, as a high school student, he exhibited an ambitious spirit far beyond his peers. Every Good Deed Point was spent on concocting elixirs for enhancing spiritual and divine senses.


    Apart from discussing alchemy, their most common shared pastime was eating fish, as far as she could remember.


    The thought of eating fish brought even more joy to Qing Nu¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s up? Did you think of something happy?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I thought of something delicious.¡±


    ¡°Roasted fish?¡±


    ¡°How do you know?¡±


    ¡°In all the years we¡¯ve known each other, there aren¡¯t many things you¡¯ve expressed a fondness for. Roasted fish is one of them and is the one you seem to enjoy the most, as far as I recall.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qing Nu let out a small laugh.


    ¡°Now you tell me, what else do I like besides roasted fish?¡±


    ¡°Alchemy, identifying medicinal ingredients, collecting Good Deed Points, your younger siblings¡­ Those are all I can recall.¡±

    With each point Chen Mobai listed, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes sparkled brighter, all until he mentioned ¡°younger siblings¡±.


    In an instant, the light in her eyes faded, and she looked lost in thought.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bringing up your painful past.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s all in the past.¡±


    After that, a silence fell between the two of them.

 Chapter 518 - Chapter 518: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_3

    Chapter 518: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_3


    Outside the Elixir Refining Room.


    The gray-green bird perched on the tree held a hint of gloom in its yellow-bean-sized eyes.


    Below its feet, on one of the tree branches, a petite black snake coiled around the twig, its pure gaze locked on the bird above. Suddenly, it stuck out its red tongue and opened its snake mouth, aiming for the bird¡¯s neck.


    But the bird, with its delicate claws lifted, moved so quickly it seemed to leave afterimages. In an instant, it pressed down on the snake¡¯s vulnerable spot, pinning it to the twig, immobilizing it.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m sorry for upsetting you. However, I¡¯ve resolved the issue of the Twofold Divine Technique; I believe you¡¯d be happy with this news.¡±


    Kong Feichen, transformed into a bird perched on the tree, was looking at Qing Nu and the bothersome Chen Mobai inside the Elixir Refining Room. He muttered to himself.


    He lifted his claw, allowing the pretending-to-be-dead Little Black Snake to take a breath of relief.


    After taking another look at the petite snake and then Chen Mobai, an idea formed in Kong Feichen¡¯s mind.


    ¡°I¡¯ll come back and keep you company later.¡±


    Early the next day, Chen Mobai, with his impending duel with Taishi Shu on his mind, bid Qing Nu farewell and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll wait for your return.¡±


    Qing Nu was sitting by the side of the sand furnace; controlling the temperature of the Spiritual Fire with one hand while using the other to gently wave at Chen Mobai.


    The Island in the lake.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, some students were already sparring on top of the ten lake stages.


    However, the moment he showed up, everyone shivered involuntarily; even a True Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment phase who was concentrating on casting a spell almost failed because of this.


    Chen Mobai chose an empty hexagonal stage and gradually walked in.


    ¡°President, do you want to watch the video of Taishi Shu¡¯s duel from yesterday? Her Yuan Magnetic Force form the Six Controlling Meridians is quite powerful; even Zong Zi lost to her.¡±


    On the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute, Zhuang Jialan whispered this secret information to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m already on the stage, and she¡¯s preparing to go down the stage.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand towards the platform where his own Daoist Academy was and expressed his gratitude to Zhuang Jialan. He then saw Taishi Shu, who was at the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, stepping into empty space. Her tall figure descended lightly onto the surface of the lake, not causing a single ripple.


    ¡°Your academy¡¯s students went too far yesterday. Isn¡¯t a duel meant to stop when one makes their point?¡±


    After landing in front of Chen Mobai, Taishi Shu made a slightly annoyed remark.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai, with a perplexed expression, looked up at the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute. Zhongli Tianyu puffed out his chest and pointed at himself and then at Nangong Xiu.


    With the Void Spirit Eye activated, he could see through the shield of the platform and noticed Nangong Xiu, with a swollen face and hair and eyebrows scorched and standing on end, sitting in a corner emitting the scent of burning and green smoke.


    ¡°After defeating you, I¡¯ll talk to them and ensure that they avoid the face in future duels.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately apologized to Taishi Shu, but this remark made Taishi Shu so angry that her chest swelled.


    ¡°Do you really believe you are bound to win?¡±


    Taishi Shu shouted angrily. Although she was a woman, she possessed a boldness not inferior to men.


    Even if she knew she had little chance of winning, she wanted to display the demeanor and honor of the chief disciple of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute today.


    A strong Yuan Magnetic Force exploded from her body, and then streaks of pitch-black iron fell from the sky, shaping themselves into a body-hugging armor around her limbs and front and back torso.


    With a ¡°thud¡±!


    Using the Yuan Magnetic Force coupled with the power of the Magic Artifact, Taishi Shu unleashed a powerful punch towards Chen Mobai. This was her strongest punch, honed over an entire day and night since defeating Zong Zi.


    This punch encapsulated all her rage, unwillingness, diligence, and desire!


    With her at the center, the water from the entire stage and the three nearby stages began to rise, forming numerous waves, like a flood bursting out or a sea inverting.


    The terrifying atmosphere of a natural disaster was depicted through her Yuan Magnetic Fist.


    Just with this punch alone, even the ten graduated Foundation Establishment Completers on the Foundation List had to use their trump cards to dare to receive it head-on.


    Even Sun Daoji was thinking about avoiding her initial momentum and waiting until Taishi Shu was exhausted.


    However, against the terrifying punch that resembled a violent wave, Chen Mobai merely extended a single finger.


    He lifted his right hand and, amidst the flickering sparks, pointed with his index finger.


    It landed right in the center of Taishi Shu¡¯s fist, which was covered in pitch-black iron.


    Subsequently, green sparks spread from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertip, running all over Taishi Shu.


    The pitch-black armor, which was adhered to her body with Yuan Magnetic Force, disintegrated swiftly, like it had been demagnetized, once again turning into blocks of pitch-black iron that fell into the lake.


    Amid the splashes of water,


    The lake water lifted by Yuan Magnetic Force just reached Chen Mobai¡¯s side when it seemed to lose all strength, splattering into countless droplets.


    Yet not a single drop splashed onto Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Why? My diligent cultivation and integration of Yuan Magnetic Force despite my physique¡¯s resistance¡­ they are not even worth a single finger of yours!¡±


    Taishi Shu couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. If she had lost to Lan Haitian or Wenren Xuewei, she could accept it.


    Because they had been cultivating for longer than she had.


    But losing to Chen Mobai, who was younger than her and who had crushed her without giving her a chance to fight back, was something Taishi Shu, always prideful and considered the top genius among her peers, could not accept.


    ¡°You¡¯re already very powerful, don¡¯t doubt yourself.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai only said this.


    ¡°However powerful, it¡¯s still nothing compared to just a single finger of yours.¡±


    ¡°I can see that you¡¯ve been working hard. I know the pain of defeat, but as long as you don¡¯t compare yourself to me, you¡¯re still the top among your peers.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After comforting her with this remark, Chen Mobai, worried about Qing Nu¡¯s medicinal concoction, sent a signal to the Platform of the Dancing Instrument Dao Institute and left once again.


    The duel between the two of them lasted only an instant.


    When Chen Mobai first arrived, the duelists on the other stages hadn¡¯t even finished their matches.


    But by now, they had all stopped their spells mid-action, stunned, staring at Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    So powerful, so dazzling!

 Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_1

    Chapter 519: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_1


    After the day of sparring ended, Qi Huanzhi was about to lead the members of Kunpeng Daoist Academy to leave.


    ¡°Do you have some time?¡±


    The voice of Lou Fengcheng suddenly came into his ear. Qi Huanzhi emotionlessly looked toward the platform where the Repairing Heaven Institute was located, where Lou Fengcheng gave him a slight smile.


    After some thought and looking at the somewhat dazed Taishi Shu next to him, Qi Huanzhi nodded his head.


    Night time.


    The Great Ye Island where the Kunpeng Daoist Academy was located, welcomed the arrival of Lou Fengcheng and his companion, Master Ling Dao.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Qi Huanzhi stood at the top of the highest island of the Great Ye Island, calmly watching the two arriving figures, and asked his question.


    ¡°Please wait for a moment, I also invited others.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng played coy, while Qi Huanzhi also didn¡¯t say much more and closed his eyes to wait.


    [This man¡¯s state of mind truly lives up to his reputation, no wonder he was able to cultivate the Six Mastery Enlightenment Part.]


    This was Ling Dao Master¡¯s first direct interaction with Qi Huanzhi. This man, after Lan Haitian, was the most famous chief of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, a genius who was just one step away from cultivating into a Gold Core Domain. Lou Fengcheng was five years younger than Qi Huanzhi, but barely considered of the same generation. He only took the lead to sweep the other three great Daoist academies after Qi Huanzhi graduated.


    Not much later, another spiritual light shone, falling from above the lake surface to in front of the three men.


    ¡°Sorry for being late.¡±


    Tao Mingqing from the Primordial Elemental Academy said with an apologetic face.


    ¡°No, we arrived early.¡±


    The Primordial Elemental Academy and the Repairing Heaven Institute have a very good relationship, and their current principal, Monk Qing Ping, was actually transferred from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Tao Mingqing was from the same generation as Qi Huanzhi, but he was unremarkable in his early foundation stage. However, he made a breakthrough after graduation, and he currently ranks even higher than Lou Fengcheng on the Foundation List.


    ¡°Who else is there?¡±


    Qi Huanzhi, who already guessed why Lou Fengcheng invited them here, asked directly.


    ¡°Apart from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, I invited everyone I could.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of the Dance Tool Dao Academy finding out?¡±


    A loud voice accompanied by the sound of a monstrous beast treading on waves resonated, Lu Qiulong riding his Extremely Wicked Tiger landed on the cliff, still holding a skewered meat in his hand and eating enthusiastically with oil smeared all over his mouth.


    ¡°Considering his personality, he might even be pleased that we are thinking about how to deal with him in our meeting.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng spoke, he called these people over today to brainstorm on how they could suppress the already seemingly invincible Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The chief from your academy is up next, what are you planning?¡±


    Lu Qiulong tossed the meat he had partially consumed into the mouth of his mount, the Extremely Wicked Tiger, wiped the oil stains on his hand with its soft fur, and jumped down beside Qi Huanzhi.


    The True Spiritual Academy split from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy. After Lan Haitian retired, Lu Qiulong replaced his position in the Repairing Heaven Group with the push of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy behind him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ling is definitely not his match, but we absolutely can¡¯t afford to be defeated with one move without probing anything out like we did today.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng no longer hid anything and directly answered Lu Qiulong¡¯s question, expressing his plans.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to wait for people from other academies?¡±


    Suddenly, a question from Qi Huanzhi arose.


    If he had invited all except those from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, then there should still be Wenren Xuewei of Jumang Daoist Academy, Pei Qingshuang, and Xia Hou Weihuan.


    Compared to the people present, these three might be more important.


    ¡°Wenren Xuewei from Jumang Daoist Academy subtly refused, so did Pei Qingshuang, they are both too confident.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng shook his head regretfully, sometimes women care more about face than men.


    ¡°What about Xiahou Weihuan, he should be the person who most wants to defeat him.¡±


    Tao Mingqing asked in surprise.


    At some point, they stopped calling Chen Mobai by his name and instead referred to him as ¡°that person¡±.


    ¡°He is treating Sima Xingyu¡¯s injuries, but he fully supports our actions.¡±


    As Lou Fengcheng spoke, he took out his phone and made a video call.


    Sometime later, Xiahou Weihuan appeared on the screen.


    He was sitting behind Sima Xingyu with one hand pressing on his chest, gentle pure yang spiritual energy flowing into him, suppressing the power of thunder and lightning that remained in his body.


    No wonder he was unable to leave.


    ¡°How is Brother Sima¡¯s injury?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng asked with pretended concern.


    Xiahou Weihuan nodded lightly, indicating that he had gotten it under control and in the process of healing Sima Xingyu, surmised that Chen Mobai¡¯s thunder method was the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°His thunder method has undoubtedly reached the Rank-3 level, Yi Wood is yin, if you want to counter it, it¡¯s best to prepare a Rank-3 magic artifact with Geng Metal attribute.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Geng Metal is Yang Metal, which just happens to restrain Yi Wood.


    After Xiahou Weihuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.


    ¡°I have already asked Teacher Liu who accompanied us this time to communicate with the academy¡¯s headquarters, but even if we deployed a flying artifact overnight, it would still take at least two days to deliver from Xi Xuan Cave Heaven to this Lin Wu Cave Heaven.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng sighed ruefully. If Ling Dao had a Rank-3 magic artifact at his disposal tomorrow, they might be able to force out Chen Mobai¡¯s famous sword light, thereby discovering more information for their subsequent moves.


    ¡°Are you eyeing my Big Light Shield?¡±

 Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: Chapter 355: Guidance Book_2

    Chapter 520: Chapter 355: Guidance Book_2


    At this time, Qi Huanzhi finally realized why Lou Fengcheng would approach him, and specifically chose his place for their meeting.


    ¡°Brother Qi¡¯s Great Light Shield could provide a Rank-3 Defensive Magic Artifact. Even though it might not be the most suitable, if it happens to be in the hand of Junior Brother Ling tomorrow, it could compel that person to show more of his abilities, at least enough to make clear the limit of his Thunder method. This could lay a solid foundation for Brother Lu¡¯s subsequent spar with that person.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi¡¯s eyes flickered slightly at Lou Fengcheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry for me. With my Taibai Golden Tiger Bloodline, I could resist that Thunder method. If he wants to beat me, he has to draw his sword.¡±


    Lu Qiulong seemed unconcerned, but, fearing that Qi Huanzhi might be affected, he spoke deliberately.


    ¡°My Great Light Shield will not be touched by a mediocre.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi said something that caused Lou Fengcheng and Master Ling¡¯s facial expressions to subtly change. Just as they thought they would part on bad terms, the former suddenly spread the fingers of his right hand.


    A round of light, like the sun, brightened his palm and illuminated the lake¡¯s surface in the night, driving away the surrounding darkness and the cold wave.


    ¡°Attack me with all your might, I want to see your strength.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi said calmly to Master Ling, who was momentarily taken aback before his eyes brightened and his aura suddenly increased, breaking through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment in a short time.


    ¡°Tsk, worthy of being the Chief Cultivator.¡±


    Lu Qiulong felt the fluctuation of Master Ling¡¯s spiritual power at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and he couldn¡¯t help but sound a little sour.


    He had graduated almost ten years ago and had only broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment in the last two years. Although he was considered to be at the Peak of Foundation Establishment with the help of his companion beast, he had not actually entered the circle of Perfection Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    Those in the upper classes of the Immortal Gate don¡¯t care about your combat power.


    What¡¯s the use of being able to fight? Can you challenge someone higher ranked?


    Although the Immortal Gate emphasizes equality for all beings, in fact, everyone knows that there is a distinct difference in status between each Realm.


    Only those who have high realms are everything.


    Because of this, until Lu Qiulong reaches Perfection in Foundation Establishment, he doesn¡¯t even consider joining the Sky Mend faction.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you invite that guy, Ding Chundzhi?¡±


    As Qi Huanzhi and Master Ling were engaged in a contest, Tao Mingqing suddenly asked Lou Fengcheng this question.


    ¡°He said he didn¡¯t want to get involved and declined me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Qiulong couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He was somewhat dismissive of the only person on the Foundation List who had deliberately conceded.


    ¡­


    ¡°This is a great opportunity, if you guys team up with Lou Fengcheng and others, no matter how strong that person is, he will certainly lose under the aim of all the top True Cultivators at the Daoist Academy.¡±


    In the pavilion on the lake of Wood God Island, Ding Chundzhi was sipping tea brewed by Wenren Xuewei and gave an ambiguous suggestion.


    ¡°You should know that our Jumang Daoist Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy have been brother academies since our foundation. Moreover, that person¡¯s mentor is Mr. Che, who gave our Jumang Daoist Academy eighteen Identityless Puppets.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei shook her head gently, and poured another cup of tea for Pei Qingshuang beside her.


    ¡°Sister Pei could go, couldn¡¯t she?¡±


    Ding Chundzhi asked again. Although Jumang and Dance Tool get along well, they have no relationship with the Shanhai Daoist Academy.


    ¡°I can defeat him fairly.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said coldly. Being a Sword Cultivator that even Lan Haitian was reluctant to fight, her combat capability was considered the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    ¡°It seems like you really want to see that person defeated?¡±


    Wenren Xuewei looked at Ding Chundzhi and asked, implying something.


    ¡°After all, Guanming got hurt due to backlash, I am a little upset.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi said frankly, pointing to the sword scar that was about to heal and disappear above his eyelid.


    The scar left by Pei Qingshuang was gone, only the one left by Chen Mobai remained.


    ¡°By entrusting the task of observing fate to me, I will handle this matter and give you a satisfactory outcome.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei spoke with a smile. Her confident manner caught Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eye.


    It¡¯s a pity I can¡¯t read her fate.


    ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I only received the Dalit Flower. Your academy and Sister Wenren don¡¯t owe me anything. Just proceed with our normal exchanges.¡±


    Regardless, Ding Chundzhi wasn¡¯t daring enough to accept her offer, for fear that Chen Mobai would truly misunderstand and think that he had Wenren Xuewei helping him freshen up.


    ¡°You¡­your problem is that you¡¯re too timid.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang saw that Ding Chundzhi was like this and couldn¡¯t help but hum indifferently.


    In response, Ding Chundzhi just smiled faintly without responding, simply sipping his tea.


    ¡­


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll be going.¡±


    The third day, Chen Mobai bade goodbye to Qing Nu again and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Remember to bring me back some Vegetable Dumplings from the East Street Small Restaurant on Wood God Island.¡±


    Qing Nu was refining medicine, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head and shouted towards Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Sure!¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his right hand and turned the corner at the end of the road without looking back, disappearing from Qing Nu¡¯s view.


    The little grey bird saw this and immediately took Xiao Hei, the Little Black Snake, and followed from behind by flying.

    On the lake island.


    After arriving this time, Chen Mobai went to the platform of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy first.


    ¡°How is the score now?¡±


    ¡°Our academy is at the top of the list, the only one with double digits.¡±


    Bian Jingchun said proudly. Although it seems easy to gain points, in reality, due to deductions for team losses, only the Four Great Daoist Academies and the two Taiyuan Chunyang academies are positive because of their high overall quality of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

 Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_3

    Chapter 521: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_3


    Moreover, the Spirit Treasure Academy and Mountain Sea Academy both had zero points.


    The other six major academies were in the negatives, making the invited graduates who were there to maintain order lose face.


    But even they struggled to gain points.


    Because apart from Bian Jingchun and other Rank 9 Foundation Establishment cultivators, Taishi Shu and other chiefs of major Daoist Academies could suppress them in the fight. Even Zhongli Tianyu, during the two days of matches, won four rounds consecutively, and as he wished, assumed the title of ¡°Little Thunder Emperor¡± and ¡°The next Chief of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡±.


    The reason why the Spirit Treasure Academy and Mountain Sea Academy had no negative points was mainly because every person from the Spirit Treasure Academy had received a top-tier Rank-2 magic artifact to bolster their chances before they came over.


    As for the Mountain Sea Academy, all their students were sword cultivators, and even though they were low in their realm, their combat power was truly astonishing.


    Currently in the group points, Dance Tool Dao Academy remained 10 points ahead from the remaining thirteen schools.


    Following them was the Kunpeng Daoist Institute with 7 points, Repairing Heaven and Jumang Institutes each had 5 points.


    The Primordial Elemental Academy had 3 points while Pure Yang Academy had 2 points, which was also quite good.


    ¡°They all know that they can¡¯t compete with our Dance Tools Dao Academy in terms of group points, so they don¡¯t deliberately pick weaker opponents for the sake of points. They all try their best to spar with individuals of similar realms, which can be considered a successful and meaningful result of this offline exchange.¡±


    Bian Jingchun opened her mouth to speak, and at this time, the final pair of opponents on the lake stage below had also determined a winner.


    After Chen Mobai arrived, no more true cultivator with established foundations appeared, all of them were awaiting his match with Master Ling Dao today.


    Surprisingly, after all ten lake stages were cleared, Master Ling Dao voluntarily stepped into the battlefield first.


    ¡°I am going to score 1 more point.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to the multitude of Dance Tool Daoist Academy individuals and then gently landed on the surface of the lake.


    ¡°Zong Zi and Taishi Shu are no match for me.¡±


    Master Ling Dao started speaking first, indicating that he was the strongest among the three major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai displayed a strange expression.


    If it came to being the leader, four major academies would be taken into consideration. As long as he was present, the strongest would have to be Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then let me show you the difference between me and them!¡±


    While Ling Dao was talking, he stretched out his right hand towards Chen Mobai. Then, golden lines began to outline the palm of his hand, instantly forming an image of Chen Mobai, which he then quickly grasped.


    ¡°Guidance Book!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Bian Jingchun and the rest on the Stage of Dance Tools Institute, their expressions turned a bit solemn.


    This was the most mysterious Skill of Divinity Transformation from the Immortal Gate, famous for its slogan: ¡°controlling the universe within the span of a finger.¡±


    ¡°I remember that when using this technique against an opponent, you have to find their flaws. So, have you found my flaws?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite familiar with the seven magic methods of the Immortal Gate. Looking at the image that Master Ling Dao had created, he was genuinely curious.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you know if you try?¡±


    As Ling Dao spoke, a series of golden lines suddenly appeared in his right eye. A three-dimensional model of Chen Mobai seemed to emerge in his pupils, as if converting all the information about his opponent into model data.


    Shhh!


    A bluish dazzling electrical light suddenly burst from Chen Mobai¡¯s right index finger, like a laser it aimed at Master Ling Dao¡¯s left shoulder.


    With a sizzling sound!


    A golden shield appeared, blocking this Yi Wood¡¯s Divine Thunder. The electric essence kept dissolving with the power of light, throwing out intermittent bright radiance.


    ¡°Oh, a Rank-3 defensive magic weapon.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that this Big Light Shield belonged to Qi Huanzhi, he did know that for an established cultivator, utilizing a Rank-3 magic weapon would consume a lot of spiritual power. Even if he could use his perfect longevity spiritual power to control the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirrors, it could only be used about a dozen times.


    So, while his record of defeating enemies in one strike was broken, Chen Mobai¡¯s face remained calm. He raised his left hand so that his five fingers pointed towards the sky.


    Rumble!


    Thunder roared in a clear sky; bluish dazzling electricity began to form on his fingertips, converging into a thunderbolt as thick as an arm, seemingly ready to strike at Ling Dao.


    Suddenly!


    Ling Dao suddenly pulled off a phantom, momentarily closing the previous distance between him and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    This speed even surprised Lu Qiulong. Last night, after Ling Dao passed Qi Huanzhi¡¯s test, he shared his experience of fighting with Chen Mobai in Little Red Sky and indicated that the latter¡¯s speed and physical strength were his weak points. If he could exploit these two areas, he might be able to create a miracle.


    That very night, Lu Qiulong had a trial match with Ling Dao, even then his speed was not so fast.


    Ling Dao had made such progress in just one night that it was surprising.


    As expected from the chief of the Repairing Heaven Institute, if Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t present, he might have become the strongest person in their generation, just like Qi Huanzhi and Lou Fengcheng.

    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised. He raised his right hand; the thunderlight was already formed, but couldn¡¯t be unleashed.


    Because Ling Dao¡¯s left hand landed on his neck.


    Chen Mobai loosened the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on his wrist, turning it into a wisp of smoke, like a soft sword cutting between his neck and Ling Dao¡¯s palm.


    At the same time, he swung his right wrist, and the huge thunderbolt came crashing down fiercely at Ling Dao in front of him.


    In the midst of the thunderous roar, Big Light Shield shone golden once again, blocking the impact of this thunder method completely.

 Chapter 522 - Chapter 522: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_4

    Chapter 522: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_4


    Meanwhile, the three-dimensional human figure in Ling Daoshi¡¯s right eye, which represented Chen Mobai, transformed from a simple sketch to something more detailed. It seemed as though he had obtained some vital intelligence from their exchange in the battle.


    The power of the Guidance Book would continue to strengthen with the progress of battle.


    However, it took an extreme toil on a cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense and computational abilities.


    In preparation for dealing with Chen Mobai, Ling Daoshi had thrown all caution to the wind from the start just to gather enough information. It was precisely this point that swayed Qi Huanzhi and Lu Qiulong¡¯s attitude last night.


    In a split second, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled crystal clear as he saw through Ling Daoshi¡¯s situation.


    The Guidance Book was exhausting his Divine Sense, while his Spiritual Power was constantly being drained to sustain the Big Light Shield, maintaining it at full power.


    Moreover, under the coordination of the Guidance Book, all his internal energy was harmoniously integrated, attaining a state of super-extreme performance where the sum was greater than its parts.


    Despite being only at the Foundation Establishment eight level, if Ling Daoshi, in his current state, were to battle against Bian Jingchun¡¯s trio without considering the True Dragon Ding, he would have a likely chance of winning more than half the time.


    ¡°Oh, are you looking for my intelligence?¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared to understand the moment his Void Spirit Eye unveiled Ling Daoshi¡¯s true and apparent statuses. He now had an inkling of why Ling Daoshi was striving so desperately.


    Is he paving the way for the opponents who will follow?


    With a sudden sound, the air was torn apart by the super-extreme state of Ling Daoshi. He split into three figures and attacked Chen Mobai from three directions.


    ¡°In comparison, speed is indeed my shortcoming.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could keep track of Ling Daoshi¡¯s movements, his body was unable to keep up.


    But for him, as long as his eyes could keep track, it was enough.


    Within the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Mansion, two leaves of the jade-green parasol tree fell, transforming into two invisible Divine Slashes that sprang forth from his gaze.


    Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eyes widened as he watched this scene intently.


    The three figures of Ling Daoshi suddenly quivered, and the ones on the left and right vanished into thin air.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes moved again, and two more Divine Slashes sprang forth from his eyes. The Big Light Shield could not defend against the Divine Sense Attack.


    But Ling Daoshi seemed to have a Magic Artifact that could protect his mind. His Divine Slashes had indeed struck into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, yet within a blink of an eye, it was suppressed.


    However, taking advantage of Ling Daoshi¡¯s momentary stiffness, Chen Mobai formed a thunder ball the size of a fist in his palm, bypassed the Big Light Shield, and pressed it on Ling DaoShi¡¯s right shoulder.


    With a loud bang, Ling Daoshi was sent flying backwards,


    Driven by the power of the Guidance Book, he seemed to abandon all emotions outside of the fight. He ignored his bloody and mangled shoulder as if he felt no pain, exhausting all his spiritual power and Divine Sense in a desperate outburst even discarding the Big Light Shield just to muster enough spiritual power to land his final strike on Chen Mobai.


    The airborne Ling Daoshi suddenly split into five figures and unleashed five different palm techniques. Like surging waves, flames, hurricanes, slashing blades and radiant swords, the forces of different Five Elements elements roared towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Using the Five Elements for the final probing, trying to determine exactly which attribute will suppress him.¡±


    The golden lines in Ling Daoshi¡¯s right eye became more tangible, as if he had glimpsed Chen Mobai¡¯s weaknesses.


    ¡°Very well, I admit you are different from the other two chiefs.¡±

    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show admiration for Ling Daoshi.


    Then, to the disbelief of everyone present, he pointed his right hand to the sky, fingers spread.


    One could see that five different colored Sword Lights representing the Five Elements burst from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips, and as per the attributes of the Five Elements, they countered and nullified Ling Daoshi¡¯s Five Thunderous Palms, which were evolved from the Guidance Book.


    When the final palm was defeated, Ling Daoshi had been utterly depleted by the Guidance Book. He fell limply, his face expressionless as he sank into the bottom of the lake.


    That guy¡­ he¡¯s a monster!

 Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_1

    Chapter 523: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_1


    ¡°You should be proud since you forced me to draw my sword. You have performed brilliantly.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the Daoist master who had fallen into the lake and gently said.


    This duel was set up to force him to reveal his tactics beyond the Thunder method.


    Theoretically, the Sword Light Shapeshifting is less noticeable than the ultimate Sword Sha.


    After all, there are genius swordsmen who can practice multiple sword techniques simultaneously, mastering all of them.


    When most people saw Chen Mobai release the Five Element Sword Light for the first time, they did not associate it with ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡±. The concept of one sword giving birth to countless methods is too obscure, and only Core Formation sword cultivators in immortal world would actively tap into this knowledge.


    ¡°Could he be practicing five kinds of sword techniques, each embodying one of the Five Elements, to avoid weaknesses being exploited?¡±


    Lao Fencheng looked at the scene and muttered to himself.


    ¡°Could he, like Master Qing Ping, primarily focus on the Five Elements Cultivation at the Foundation Building Realm?¡±


    Upon hearing Lao Fengcheng¡¯s speculation, Tao Mingqing pondered for a moment but came up with no answer.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. His Rank-3 Thunder method is wood attribute. Yet, according to the news from Red Misty Cloud Silk, as well as his earlier rampage in the Little Red Sky, he seems to follow the Pure Yang Scroll. Now he¡¯s demonstrating Five Element Sword Light, I¡¯m not sure what to believe.


    ¡°I need more information to find his flaws.¡±


    After hearing Tao Mingqing¡¯s words, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s golden three-dimensional figure in his right pupil dissipated, and he looked at Lu Qiulong who looked serious not far away.


    ¡°Meet me at the old place tonight. I¡¯ll share the information I gained from this battle with you. His Yi Wood Divine Thunder was countered by Extremely Wicked Tiger. I hope you can force out his deeper level of swordsmanship.¡±


    While Lou Fengcheng and Lu Qiulong were exchanging glances, a stream of Red Misty Cloud Silk suddenly rose before him.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    After saying these words, Chen Mobai, using his own Red Misty Cloud Silk, gently lifted a drenched figure from the lake and placed him on the platform of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The Daoist master was a respectable opponent, so he fished him out of the lake and sent him back up.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng glanced at the Daoist master who was completely exhausted from invoking the ¡°Guidance Book¡±, and cupped his hands towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I enjoyed the fight, at least it warmed me up. Also, Senior Lou, do you also practice the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯? ¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked. Lou Fengcheng nodded slightly in a reserved manner.


    ¡°Great, I hope when I face you, I won¡¯t have to suppress myself anymore.¡±


    Hearing these words from Chen Mobai, the Daoist master, who was nearly depleted of his spiritual power and divine sense, and needed people¡¯s help to sit up, couldn¡¯t help but cough violently.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, it¡¯s not what you think. You have done very well. You¡¯re the first to make me draw my sword in this fight; you should be proud.¡±


    Chen Mobai comforted the Daoist master, both he and Taishi Shu represented the future of the Immortal World.


    They can¡¯t let their belief be troubled by the tragic defeat at his hands.


    And indeed, the Daoist master did perform remarkably well, exceeding everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but praise him sincerely.


    In response, the Daoist master, who had no strength left even to speak, just weakly looked at Chen Mobai without shifting his gaze, as if he wanted to imprint the image of the handsome young man before him deeply in his memory.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t reveal too much of your abilities when facing Wenren Xuewei, otherwise, you¡¯ll likely lose under my ¡®Guidance Book¡¯.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng said something that caused Chen Mobai to glance at him.


    ¡°Senior Lou, do you think Wenren Xuewei can¡¯t beat me?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that whether you win or lose, our duel is already set, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    This rhetorical question made Chen Mobai laugh out loud; he nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Correct, no matter what, I have to have a bout with you. I¡¯m looking forward to your ¡®Guidance Book¡¯!¡±


    After exchanging greetings, Chen Mobai turned around and left, returning to his team¡¯s platform.


    ¡°As expected of the president, you decisively defeated the opponent.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan clapped her hands in excitement as she caught sight of him.


    ¡°Just now that Five Element Sword Light¡­¡±


    Zhajianbai, however, still looked incredulous. As an exceptional talent in the Sword Control Department, he had only touched the threshold of the Sword Rainbow Fission till now.


    But Chen Mobai had already mastered four additional kinds of Sword Light besides the fire one.


    This kind of swordsmanship talent made Zhajianbai feel like mediocre talent in comparison.


    ¡°There is a trick, once you master Sword Light, I¡¯ll teach you.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t bear to let down Zhajianbai. After all, he¡¯s really a Sword Cultivation Genius, who painstakingly practices at every realm of swordsmanship. Unlike him, Chen Mobai just received everything through Empowerment without any effort or diligence.


    ¡°Yes, president, I must strive to master Sword Light.¡±


    But at this point, Zhajianbai had already regarded Chen Mobai, second only to Zuo Gong, as a swordsmanship giant. Upon hearing that he was willing to impart his knowledge, he felt like he was being taught by an elder, with a face full of awe and eagerness to learn.


    ¡°By the way, do you know the way to the East Street Small Restaurant?¡±


    At this time, seeing the regular exchanges and challenges restart on the platform over the lake, Chen Mobai felt that he had fulfilled his duties as the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy by staying here for about fifteen minutes. He then asked the most important question that brought him here.

 Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_2

    Chapter 524: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_2


    ¡°Land on the east bank, walk straight for two kilometers, then turn right into a tree-lined path, go through it and then turn left for two hundred meters, and you will see the archway of East Street. The small cafeteria is at the end of the street¡­¡±


    It was precisely pointed out by Bian Jingchun, who had been taken around by Song Yuexin.


    ¡°Thanks, I¡¯ll go ahead. I¡¯m leaving this place to you.¡±


    After getting the address, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay there.


    ¡°President, here are some videos of your next few opponents sparring in the last couple of days. I¡¯ll forward them to you. Take a look when you have time.¡±


    Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhuang Jialan promptly took out her phone and forwarded the videos she had captured and collected to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I appreciate it. I¡¯ll bring you the ¡®Vegetable Balls¡¯ from the small cafeteria tomorrow morning. They¡¯re said to be quite delicious.¡±


    After waving to the people of the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai left the Branch Platform riding his ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯, leaving the island amidst the awed gazes of many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s quickly sort out today¡¯s quota then, and then go back early to discuss tomorrow¡¯s tactics.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai leave, Lou Fengcheng sent a message to Qi Huanzhi, Tao Mingqing and the others, then descended first.


    Standing on the rectangular ring, no one dared to stand opposite him.


    So he could only choose his opponent.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s gaze swept back and forth several times over the trio from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but ultimately, he felt that he should not choose an evenly matched opponent for now. Although he was confident of victory, it was also possible for him to reveal his trump cards.


    These three graduates from the Dance Tool Dao Academy were undoubtedly meant to gather information on their competition for Chen Mobai.


    After made up his mind, Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t stoop to choosing a weaker opponent. He chose a Foundation Establishment Seventh Level graduate from the Five Thunder Law School.


    This specialist was in Thunder Law. It was a good way to adapt in advance.


    Zhuang Jialan on the platform watched their duel and took out her phone to film once again.


    ¡°Are Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei also quite good?¡±


    Chen Mobai, on his way back after buying vegetable balls, was watching the sparring videos sent to him by Zhuang Jialan. The opponents of Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei didn¡¯t even have the strength to fight back.


    Pei Qingshuang even didn¡¯t take out her sword, she simply used her fingers as swords, and the Sword Qi at the entrance stage of the Sword Dao Realm, easily defeated the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level leader of Tian Shu Academy.


    Especially for Wen Ren Xuewei, all those who stood in her way couldn¡¯t even move under Lasting Spring Cultivation, let alone force out her real strength.


    However, Chen Mobai also noticed that the opponents of these two girls weren¡¯t serious.


    It¡¯s not to say that they took it easy, but they didn¡¯t push Chen Mobai to the limit like Ling Dao did, knowing they could not beat him, and forcing him to reveal something other than Thunder Method.


    The opponents of Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei tried a few moves, rolled out all their Techniques,they felt they couldn¡¯t win, they didn¡¯t try harder, they just surrendered without a fight.


    Comparing like this, why does he feel like he is against the world?


    Chen Mobai reflected on his recent actions and indeed, it seemed a bit hateful.


    But that¡¯s okay.


    It¡¯s just a fight in the Immortal Cultivation world, at most embarrassing, it wouldn¡¯t involve anyone¡¯s life.


    If this were in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai definitely would not have been so high-profile, as cultivators there would really kill when they got vicious.


    Walking along the tree-lined path, eating vegetable balls and about to flip through the next sparring video of Qi Huanzhi, a clear chirping of a bird rang out above him.


    Chen Mobai pretended not to hear it.


    There were quite a few birds on this island. When he was with Qing Nu, they often saw gray-green sparrows circling on the tree outside the entrance.


    Having seen a lot of them, he had habitually ignored them.


    However, the chirping sounds of the bird suddenly became more and more urgent, and the pitch became sharper, as if it was being hunted.


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows, quickened his pace, and planned to leave the tree-lined path, avoiding this noisy sparrow.


    However, unexpectedly, the sound seemed to be going after him.


    Chen Mobai finally couldn¡¯t help it, he looked up and he was about to use some means with his Divine Sense, when he noticed something was wrong.


    The bird perched above caught a little black snake, and that bird seemed to be the one always staying at the entrance of the Elixir Refining Room.


    As Chen Mobai wondered, he suddenly locked eyes with the green beans-sized pupils of the little bird.


    A familiar wave of divine consciousness contacted him. Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    However, immediately afterwards, he seemed to have received some information. Frowning, he slowly nodded after a long while.


    Then, just like before, Chen Mobai started eating his vegetable balls and watching videos on his phone. But after leaving the shaded path, he did not go to the Elixir Refining Room but left Wood God Island. He turned the Red Misty Cloud Silk into a cloud boat, drifting alone over Wan Shui Lake.


    It wasn¡¯t until he had distanced himself substantially from Wood God Island and was almost back to Small Leaf Island that the ash-grey bird descended from the sky, clutching the little black snake.


    ¡°You dare show up in the Immortal Gate again, aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll turn you in to the enforcement department for the reward?¡±


    Chen Mobai stared at the bird in front of him. If it weren¡¯t for the familiar divine consciousness fluctuation of Kong Feichen, he would never believe that this bird was Qing Nu¡¯s little brother.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a bird incarnation controlled by my God Seed. Even if you capture me, I would instantly destroy this God Seed without giving the Immortal Gate anything to gain.¡±


    Although the bird couldn¡¯t speak, the divine consciousness fluctuation enabled unobstructed communication between Kong Feichen and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Why are you looking for me? Does Qing Nu know you¡¯re here?¡±


    ¡°My sister doesn¡¯t know. The reason I came is to tell her that the disaster of Yang Jing¡¯s Twofold Divine Technique has been resolved by the Devour God Technique. But I didn¡¯t know how to face her or how to broach the subject.¡±


    After Kong Feichen¡¯s divine consciousness finished speaking, it released the little black snake it had been holding onto. The snake landed on Chen Mobai¡¯s cloud boat and started slithering towards him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this is Yang Jing?¡±


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brow. With a flicker of divine consciousness, a white fog cage formed from the cloud mist, trapping the miniature slender black snake inside and preventing it from approaching.


    ¡°Yes, precisely speaking, it¡¯s the malicious part peeled off from Yang Jing¡¯s divine consciousness. I turned it into a real snake.¡±


    As Kong Feichen spoke, he suddenly spat out a green pill.


    ¡°Give this to my sister.¡±


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pill that can break the prohibition planted in us when we were kids.¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard Kong Feichen talk about this before; they were used as spirit root research materials in a mysterious research institute when they were young. Although they were later rescued by some division of the Immortal Gate and placed in the orphanage in Red Sandstone City, they were cursed to never speak of this incident.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you give it to her yourself?¡±


    ¡°Because of Yang Jing and me, she had no choice but to join a mysterious branch of the Immortal Gate and voluntarily be monitored. Maybe she¡¯s been prohibited. The moment I contact her, that mysterious branch might discover.¡±


    ¡°The mysterious division you¡¯re talking about, it wouldn¡¯t happen to be the ¡®Mending Heaven¡¯ group?¡±,


    ¡°How do you know!¡±


    ¡°Lan Haitian wanted me to take his place as the leader of Team Six after his retirement, but I refused.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s nonchalant comment left Kong Feichen speechless for a moment.


    ¡°If you were to become the leader of the ¡®Mending Heaven¡¯ Group Six, couldn¡¯t you take care of my sister?¡±


    ¡°I am quite busy, you know, and I did not study hard for ten years to become a hired thug for the Immortal Gate.¡±


    The real reason was that Chen Mobai considered the fact that he needed to travel between the two worlds for a long time. If he were to truly join the Mending Heaven group, what would he do if he got an emergency assignment while he was in the Tianhe Realm?


    [Scumbag!]

    Kong Feichen cursed silently in his heart, but did not express it out loud in front of Chen Mobai since he still needed his help.


    ¡°I can¡¯t touch my sister. Send her this Prohibition Refining Pill under some pretence and tell her to stop investigating the matter from twenty years ago. I already know the full truth.¡±


    ¡°The truth? What is it?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the green pill but was vaguely curious about Kong Feichen¡¯s words.


    ¡°The mastermind behind our tragic childhood is one of the three hall masters of the Immortal Gate.¡±

 Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_1

    Chapter 525: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_1


    At the words of Kong Feichen, Chen Mobai¡¯s face changed.


    The three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, they are all Nascent Soul experts, and are all in the late stage of their Nascent Souls, even existing at the Perfection level.


    With the two Divinity Transformation Elders in hundreds of years of closed-door cultivation on this planet, they hold the most power and can even be considered the rulers of the thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two bless lands of the Immortal Gate which rules over three billion beings.


    ¡°I¡¯ll pretend I didn¡¯t hear what you just said, and I won¡¯t tell it to Qing Nu either.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.


    ¡°My sister being in a place like the Heaven Mending Group, surely wouldn¡¯t give up a chance to investigate the truth. If she ends up angering the highest authority in the Immortal Gate, even Tao Hua from the Jumang Daoist Academy, might not be able to protect her.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head at Kong Feichen¡¯s concerns.


    ¡°You clearly don¡¯t understand the strength of the four Daoist Academies. Of the fourteen Nascent Soul experts in the Immortal Gate, three belong to the Jumang Daoist Academy. In addition to our alliance with the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, we might be unable to kill someone, but it¡¯s still more than enough to protect someone.¡±


    ¡°Three Nascent Soul experts from the Jumang Academy, two of them aren¡¯t at the academy right now, and the Dance Tool might not necessarily side with my sister.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see about that when the time comes.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel like explaining the top-level relationship between the Daoist Academies to a defector like Kong Feichen. It was his instinct to stay out of this matter.


    However, he could consider delivering the Prohibition Refining Pill to Qing Nu.


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude, Kong Feichen felt helpless. After all, he didn¡¯t dare to contact Qing Nu directly, and Chen Mobai was the only person around her he could trust.


    ¡°Is there any side effects after taking this pill?¡±


    ¡°No, it just makes the body feel a lot lighter.¡±


    Hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded his head, and placed the pill in the box of colorful vegetable balls he was bringing for Qing Nu. If not given a closer look, it would go unnoticed.


    ¡°You¡¯re just going to give it to her like this?¡±


    On seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s action, Kong Feichen¡¯s bird-like mouth trembled a little, seemingly in disbelief.


    ¡°What else should I do?¡±


    That Chen Mobai was willing to help was already due to his friendship with Qing Nu.


    ¡°Alright then.¡±


    Kong Feichen was the one asking for a favor, so he didn¡¯t dare to say much more.


    ¡°Could you help me to keep this snake?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Kong Feichen suddenly brought up another matter.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible.¡±


    Chen Mobai was constantly traversing between two worlds, he didn¡¯t even have time for romantic relationships, let alone pets.


    ¡°Do you know about the Dharma Gate?¡±


    Kong Feichen suddenly asked a confusing question.


    ¡°I do. It¡¯s an ancient Daoist lineage. It absorbs and refines everything in the universe into one Primordial Heavenly Essence. It¡¯s reputed to be the best at performing miraculous Techniques.¡±


    ¡°This snake was struck by the Devouring Heaven Technique of the Dragon Tiger Ancestor. It can consume Spiritual Objects containing Spiritual Machine to refine. If it eats enough Spiritual Objects, it can reverse its lineage.¡±


    ¡°What does this have to do with me?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very perplexed.


    ¡°This Devouring Heaven Serpent is one of the masterpieces of ancient biology research by the Ascension Sect. The Dragon Tiger Ancestor encoded all the lineage of dragons and snake species that have appeared in the star¡¯s history into its genes. When its gene reverses back, if it doesn¡¯t collapse and die, it can condense a bit of the highly valuable True Spirit¡¯s Blood.¡±


    ¡°Is this true?¡±


    Chen Mobai, having stayed in the Dance Tool Daoist Academy for so many years, though he never took a course related to biological Spirit Beasts, he was still aware of the term ¡°True Spirit¡±.


    The only living True Spirit of the Immortal Gate is the Kunpeng of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, which is equivalent to the sixth-order Divinity Transformation.


    However, it¡¯s said that even this Kunpeng¡¯s True Spirit Body is incomplete.


    Are the Ascension Sect¡¯s achievements this impressive?


    Chen Mobai expressed doubt about this.


    ¡°If such a precious creature is handed over to me to keep, aren¡¯t you afraid of the Ascension Sect investigating this?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s plenty of this thing. After completing the gene encoding, the Dragon Tiger Ancestor cloned tens of thousands of them, released them onto a suitable planet in the universe, and allowed them to evolve by devouring each other. According to the Ascension Sect¡¯s plan, the final evolved Devouring Heaven Serpent would swallow all its kind and the planet, and there might be a chance for it to evolve into a perfect True Spirit.¡±

    After hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze completely changed. He lifted the miniature black snake encased in his Misty Cloud Prison to his eyes.


    ¡°When I learned about this, I went to the snake star to catch one. Then I put the impurities of the Divine Sense that Yang Jing had separated from into it. After all, it¡¯s also a part of my sister, I cannot bear to let it return to the snake star, it might be eaten by its kind. But this thing is too well-known in the Ascension Sect, it¡¯s not good for me to carry it around, so I was thinking if there was an opportunity to release it in an uninhabited place without any Spiritual Machine activity and leave it to its fate.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the Devouring Heaven Technique inside this snake?¡±


    Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and, sure enough, he found something different inside the belly of the little black snake. It was the most complex and precise prohibition he had ever seen, but he did not sense any Spiritual Power fluctuation from it.


    ¡°The Devouring Heaven Technique is derived and evolved from the Dharma Gate¡¯s great Law by the Dragon Tiger Ancestor. The Dharma Gate absorbs and refines all Spiritual Machines into a single Primordial Heavenly Essence, while this technique is used to devour Spiritual Machines and refine all the legendary dragon and snake bloodlines in the genes, hoping that one day it will reverse its lineage and transform into a True Spirit Body.¡±

 Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_2

    Chapter 526: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_2


    This Dragon-Tiger Ancestor is a real talent!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but applaud after hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s explanation.


    He refined a strand of pure Water Spirit Qi on the surface of the lake and projected it into the mouth of the Little Black Snake who swallowed it directly. Subsequently, his Void Spirit Eye perceived a slight fluctuation in the restrictions within its belly. After that, an invisible force surged throughout the snake¡¯s body, as if cleansing its bloodline.


    ¡°Can I choose which True Spirit¡¯s Blood eventually congeals?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not, it all depends on luck.¡±


    ¡°Does your Ascension Sect have any successful cases?¡±


    ¡°On that Snake Star, there was a serpent that has condensed a trace of White Dragon¡¯s Blood, and another that has condensed Bashe¡¯s Blood, but both were taken by the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor for research. He wants to cultivate a True Spirit Body to see if it can serve as a reincarnated body for the third body disintegration of our sect¡¯s hierarch.¡±


    After hearing these words, Chen Mobai looked at Kong Feichen differently. Given that he had access to such information, it seemed that he had a good standing within the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Bloodline Reversion is like winning a lottery then, but there must be certain categories for the True Spirit¡¯s Blood that ultimately congeals, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s probably only known to the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor, God knows how many dragon-snake genes he has incorporated.¡±


    Kong Feichen shook his head, suggesting that Chen Mobai can imagine as many dragon and snake species that had appeared in the myths and legends as possible, including the ones whose fossils have been excavated.


    ¡°The Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood should be included too, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, and Kong Feichen hesitated.


    The Six Rulers Sutra of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute can only be fully cultivated with the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood, and he knew that.


    Since anyone can download the cultivation techniques of the Immortal Sects and even the Techniques at the Divinity Transformation Level, the Ascension Sect also has copies of Six Rulers Sutra¡¯s Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment sections.


    If they have included the Devouring Heaven Serpent, then it¡¯s certain that the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor would have also incorporated the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood into the gene pool.


    After all, if a serpent managed to transform through the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood, it would be almost certain to complete the Six Rulers Sutra which is one of the topmost methods of Divinity Transformation in the Immortal Sects.


    This method significantly surpasses the ancient methods practiced by these ancient sects.


    ¡°I¡¯m not certain about that, but I think it should be included. After all, the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood was available in the Kunpeng Daoist Institute thousands of years ago. Stealing some ashes of cultivators who had refined the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood can still extract the corresponding gene segments.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to reluctantly stick with raising the Little Black Snake, in consideration of Qing Nu and also because his impression of Yang Jing was pretty good.


    ¡°I want to clarify beforehand that the Devouring Heaven Serpent needs to devour a lot of Spiritual Mechanisms for its evolution. If you want the True Spirit¡¯s Blood, it might take hundreds of years of raising it to have a chance for transformation. What¡¯s more, evolution might not even be successful. In a place like the Immortal Sects where resources are strictly controlled, be careful not to catch the attention of the relevant departments.¡±


    Kong Feichen spoke just to avoid being held accountable by Chen Mobai in the future.


    Being as capable as the Ascension Sect, they were only able to cultivate two successful Devouring Heaven Serpents over hundreds of years. Kong Feichen did not believe that Chen Mobai could accomplish the same feat.


    He only revealed the details of the Devouring Heaven Serpent to make Chen Mobai interested, intending for him to keep the Little Black Snake as a pet for life.


    The resources required for the Bloodline Reversion and achieving True Spirit are too much for the Ascension Sect to handle. They slaughtered the chickens for the eggs and directly captured the only two successful snakes on the Snake Star for research.


    ¡°I got it. You should hurry and leave the territory of the Immortal Sect. Otherwise, if the relevant departments catch you, Qing Nu probably won¡¯t be able to avoid being implicated.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, signaling Kong Feichen that they could leave.


    ¡°Remember this forum¡¯s URL. If you need to contact me, just leave a message here. Just say you¡¯re looking for Flying Bird.¡±


    Kong Feichen left after giving Chen Mobai a URL. Chen Mobai memorized it, but he would not use his main account to visit.


    Given the strength of the Immortal Sects, he had reason to suspect that this forum was unsafe and had been under surveillance, waiting for the number of visitors to increase before rounding them all up.


    However, while he can¡¯t visit with his main account, there was no issue with his sub-account.


    If Chen Mobai wanted to contact Kong Feichen in the future, he could log in with the account ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± within the Tianhe Realm. No matter how powerful the Immortal Sect¡¯s network information department was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to check the water meter at the Giant Tree Ridge, would they?!


    After watching Kong Feichen leave, Chen Mobai refined the Five Element Spiritual Energy and fed them to the Devouring Heaven Serpent, but found that it doesn¡¯t eat just anything.


    It was a bit picky and only eats Wood Spirit Qi and Water Spirit Qi.


    Perhaps its bloodline isn¡¯t strong enough to consume everything just yet.


    He then took out a lower-grade Spirit Stone. The serpent didn¡¯t refuse it, even quickly swallowing it whole, but immediately choked on it as if it was having a hard time digesting it.


    Its throat swelled up, mirroring the exact shape of the Spirit Stone.


    With a flick of Chen Mobai¡¯s fingers, he helped it break the stone. Then the Devouring Heaven Serpent began to curl up because of the excessive Spiritual Energy entering its body, staying immobile as if it was hibernating.


    He glanced at the time, then at the Little Black Snake, recalling that he didn¡¯t have a Spirit Beast Bag on hand and it also wouldn¡¯t look good to carry this creature around where others could see it.


    After some thought, he returned to Small Leaf Island, then used the Turtle Treasure to teleport into his room within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, where he left the snake.


    However, to prevent it from running amok when it woke, Chen Mobai took out a Mysterious Fog Talisman and activated it. A hazy white mist began to cover and encircle a five-mile radius area.


    This talisman was one of the examination topics for his rank-2 Talisman Maker exam. With the help of Zhuang Jialan, he had mastered this quite well; he could successfully generate the talisman seven or eight times out of ten.


    The purpose of this talisman was to establish a prison within the region covered by the fog. Besides obscuring perception, it could even obstruct Divine Sense.


    ¡°I wonder if I can obtain a drop of any True Spirit¡¯s Blood.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. Within the Immortal Sect, the most precious was definitely the Candle Dragon¡¯s blood. For this, he suspected the Kunpeng Daoist Institute might even be willing to trade it for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    However, even if the Devouring Heaven Serpent truly evolves to have the Candle Dragon¡¯s blood, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t reveal it to others. That would be an outright exposure of his communication with the heretical sect!


    Then again, if the Ascension Sect can craft a Devouring Heaven Serpent using biological technology, why can¡¯t the Immortal Sect do the same!


    Is it because they lack talents like the Dragon and Tiger Ancestors?


    That wouldn¡¯t be right either. The Immortal Sect has Yuan Xu, their pool of talents definitely surpasses that of the heretical sect. Perhaps there¡¯s a factor that they can¡¯t speak of that¡¯s preventing them from proceeding, or they may be doing it secretly, unbeknownst to the public.


    Right, isn¡¯t Senior Chi Shicheng from the Immortal Sect¡¯s ancient biology research department? When the competition concludes and I start to return, I can act as if I¡¯m interested and ask about these matters.


    After coming to a conclusion, Chen Mobai left Small Leaf Island.


    Fortunately, the other individuals from the Dance Tool Dao Academy hadn¡¯t returned yet, and Luo Hezheng was nowhere to be found either. It seemed like the four Daoist academies had gathered the materials for refining a rank-3 elixir, and were currently discussing the refining and distribution process.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t particularly care about that; after all, he was still far from reaching the Perfect foundation establishment phase with his Pure Yang Scroll.


    Once again taking out his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to transform it into a cloud boat, Chen Mobai returned to Wood God Island.


    ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s something different about the taste of these vegetable balls.¡±


    Qing Nu consumed all of the balls Chen Mobai had brought her without any suspicion. Meanwhile, Chen ate the Prohibition Refining Pill whilst her slim eyebrows furrowed slightly as she chewed, mumbling to herself.


    ¡°This is a new flavor that their place just came out with today.¡±


    Chen Mobai uttered a white lie without even blinking. Qing Nu heard him and simply responded with an ¡®Oh¡¯, nodding her head before finishing the entire box of colorful veggie balls using her chopsticks.


    ¡°Although this new flavor is mediocre, I feel refreshed after eating it.¡±


    Hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai chuckled, then immediately asked her to help control the temperature of the medicine refining flames, thereby changing the subject.


    ¡°Remember to bring me another box of vegetable balls like the ones from yesterday.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t keep eating vegetables all the time. Look at how thin you are, it¡¯s not attractive. I¡¯ll bring you some meat today.¡±

    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t conjure up any more Prohibition Refining Pills, but he had his ways. He took a good look at Qing Nu¡¯s slender yet well-proportioned body, outright saying she was too thin and didn¡¯t look good.


    ¡°Really? Do you really think I would look better if I put on some weight?¡±


    Qing Nu seemed to value this assessment greatly, touching her own cheeks. She felt she was not as plump as Yan Bingxuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Yes! Trust my aesthetic sense, I have seen many beautiful women.¡±


    Chen Mobai thumped his chest, emphasizing that his aesthetic judgement was professional.

    Chapter 527: Chapter 338 All Flaws_1


    Island in the lake.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, those who were exchanging ideas on the stage consciously began to speed up their progression, wanting to end their turn quickly and give up the stage.


    Every match hereafter would be a showdown at the peak level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Immortal Gate.


    If they could learn a thing or two from these exchanges, they would undoubtedly achieve significant progress.


    ¡°President, Lu Qiulong¡¯s opponents these past three days have been rather ordinary. He hasn¡¯t even used the Spirit Fusion Technique.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan from Dance Tool Dao Academy said with a look of shame.


    In the meantime, Sun Daoji had even challenged Lu Qiulong proactively to probe for information, but he had been rejected by the latter.


    In order to maintain his peak form for Chen Mobai, Lu Qiulong didn¡¯t care about saving face anymore.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make him use it today, so pay close attention.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, leaving Zhuang Jialan at a loss for words.


    Wasn¡¯t the purpose of this just to gather more information about the opponent?


    Now, the two top Daoist Academies, Kunpeng and Botian, along with several other well-ranked spiritual academies, had openly formed alliances to target Chen Mobai. They had been shameless from the start, from the time of Master Ling Dao.


    In previous days, Lu Qiulong had only chosen three ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight against him. He had just warmed up.


    But now, not only had he shaved his beard, but he had also switched to a tight, white tank top and black trousers and cloth shoes. His muscular shoulders and arms were exposed. He stood at the very front of True Spiritual Academy¡¯s platform, like a furnace full of vitality.


    Just standing there gave an impression of robustness, magnificence, and masculine intimidation.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this day for a long time,¡±


    Lu Qiulong addressed Chen Mobai. A colorful old tiger slowly rose from his feet. This enormous beast, nearly two meters tall, emitted a terrifying, beastly aura that chilled the cultivators of True Spiritual Academy on the platform.


    ¡°A long time? Hasn¡¯t it been just two days?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a puzzled expression. He had only challenged Lu Qiulong two days ago.


    ¡°My loss in the Little Red Sky was my second one since graduation. The first was against Lan Haitian, to whom I lost willingly.¡±


    ¡°In other words, you¡¯re not satisfied with your loss to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai tilted his head slightly, indicating that he didn¡¯t quite understand Lu Qiulong¡¯s remark.


    ¡°Correct, very much, utterly resentful!¡±


    Lu Qiulong used three adjectives to emphasize his mood.


    ¡°I see, you¡¯ve been waiting a long time since you lost to me in the Little Red Sky. What a petty man,¡±


    Chen Mobai sneered. At this, Lu Qiulong¡¯s eye twitched. He had a feeling that the word ¡°petty¡± would plague him for a long time.


    ¡°Enough talk, let¡¯s get down there!¡±


    Realizing he wasn¡¯t Chen Mobai¡¯s match in banter, Lu Qiulong immediately interrupted their verbal sparring.


    With a boost from his powerful legs, he launched off the platform. The supporting branches bent under his pressure before he shot into the air. After completing two somersaults, he came down hard onto the lake.


    Boom!


    When Lu Qiulong landed, the triangular stage rattled and lifted from the lake, revealing a network of large tree roots at the bottom. A colorful, giant shadow descended from the sky and lazily stood beside Lu Qiulong.


    ¡°Your realm is still lacking. You can¡¯t even handle things with ease,¡±


    Chen Mobai slowly flew down and paused in mid-air, waiting for the lake water stirred by Lu Qiulong to settle back down. He didn¡¯t forget to comment along the way.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it. I just want to give my all against you, so I don¡¯t want to waste even a bit of my Divine Sense,¡±


    After finishing his sentence, Lu Qiulong held up his right fist toward Chen Mobai.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, he disappeared from sight. The tree root, which had been supporting him, was sprung aside as if it had been affected by a tremendous force.


    Chen Mobai blinked, his vision blurring. Lu Qiulong¡¯s body, along with his huge fist, was filling his entire field of vision.


    A faint, red, misty cloud exploded on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead during the clash between Lu Qiulong¡¯s fist and the cloud shield formed by the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. Although it deflected the punch, it was a lower-grade, Rank-2 Magic Artifact. Against a power that surpassed its limit, it was bound to fail eventually.


    Lu Qiulong¡¯s second punch was on the way. Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flashed as he launched an invisible Thought Knife, targeting his opponent¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this technique had already been exposed when dealing with Ling Dao, so Lu Qiulong was well-prepared for it.


    Roar!


    A tiger¡¯s roar, sounding like a thunderclap, shattered the Thought Knives just as they were about to invade Lu Qiulong¡¯s Purple Palace.


    Chen Mobai slightly frowned as he watched the Extremely Wicked Tiger wagging its tail nearby. An electrical glow flickered between his fingers, condensing into a Thunder Ball to confront Lu Qiulong, who was about to strike again.


    But at that moment, a giant tiger paw enveloped in the strange white-gold airflow manifested on Lu Qiulong¡¯s chest, helping him to resist Chen Mobai¡¯s Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

 Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: Chapter 338 All Full of Flaws_2

    Chapter 528: Chapter 338 All Full of Flaws_2


    ¡°Such a fast big cat!¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see this. Within his view, the afterimage of the Extremely Wicked Tiger was still at its original spot, but its real body had already rushed between him and Lu Qiulong, helping Lu Qiulong block the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    It even swung its tail that seemed like a whip at Chen Mobai, but it was knocked back by a sword light.


    At the same time, the dazzling Qingyao electric light collided with the platinum air current, creating a blinding glow. The power of the glow gradually weakened as if restrained and was gradually pushed back by the tiger¡¯s palm.


    With a whistling sound, Lu Qiulong¡¯s fist hammered again.


    Despite it being two against one, Chen Mobai was very calm. His eyes flashed, using the Void Spirit Eye to capture the opponent¡¯s movements. Guiding the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± with his Divine Sense, he blocked another fist.


    Yet, he was at a disadvantage on the battlefield.


    This scene incited excitement on the faces of hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.


    Indeed, as long as his Rank-3 Thunder method could be blocked, even the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy was merely an ordinary genius, incapable of overpowering the top warriors of the same realm.


    Lu Qiulong had pushed his speed to its limits. It seemed like there were three or four people beating up Chen Mobai.


    If the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± hadn¡¯t been refined as per his wish, enabling it to change shape at will, Chen Mobai would have been seriously injured by now.


    ¡°President!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jialan, who was at the platform of Dance Daoist Academy, showed a worried expression. Although she knew that Chen Mobai still had Sword Sha at his disposal, its exposure here might make the battles against future opponents even tougher.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything is within his control.¡±


    Bian Jingchun voiced, and both Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng were calm and collected. The three of them at Foundation Establishment Rank-9 clearly saw that although Lu Qiulong¡¯s offensive was aggressive, he was holding back a bit.


    As for Chen Mobai, he was merely probing the opponent¡¯s attack power, with most of his energy focused on the Extremely Wicked Tiger.


    The occasional sword light emitted casually was mixed with bright green thunder light, showing his ease in handling the situation.


    ¡°My patience is limited. If this is your level, I¡¯m afraid today might end in your reluctant defeat.¡±


    After twenty moves, Chen Mobai suddenly broke the silence.


    Following that, he spat out a wisp of Green-sun Fire.


    Without using Sword Sha, he merely refined the ¡°Green-sun Fire¡± into a Sword Light. Like a green, shimmering fireline, it broke through the defense of the platinum air current and slashed a deep, charred wound on Lu Qiulong¡¯s crossed arms.


    Roar!


    A huge shadow with a stench of blood and evil aura pounced towards Chen Mobai. A peak Rank-2 Spirit Beast with its powerful bloodline controlling the Golden Wind dual attributes. The power of its Spiritual blood gas was stronger than any of the Foundation Establishment Rank-9 cultivators present.


    Chen Mobai, however, remained unreactive towards the Extremely Wicked Tiger pouncing at him.


    After spitting out the Green-sun Fire, he raised his right hand and touched the Flying Sparrow Hairpin fixed in his high ponytail.


    Just as he was about to release an earth-shaking sword strike, the Extremely Wicked Tiger suddenly stopped its advance. Its face had a very human-like look of apprehension as it retreated back to Lu Qiulong¡¯s side.


    ¡°Your Sword Light¡¯s color has changed?¡±


    Lu Qiulong looked at the injuries inflicted by the Green Sun Fire Sword Light on his arms. His Spiritual Power and blood gas rumbling, he forced out wisp after wisp of green-colored flames.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made a slight advancement in my Sword Dao.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the truth, but Lu Qiulong took it to mean his Sword Light had become more powerful.


    ¡°As you said, probing is just a waste of time for us.¡±


    Within the duration of their conversation, the injuries on Lu Qiulong¡¯s arms had healed substantially. Chen Mobai floated in the air with his hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for his opponent to recover.


    ¡°Does he seek to crush his opponent at their strongest and most confident? Indeed, it is like him.¡±


    Seeing this scene, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were watching had this thought in their minds. Their impression of the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy, a model of hubris, deepened.


    ¡°Because my realm is inferior to this old fellow, when in Spirit Fusion, my body will be filled with its evil aura and my Divine Sense will also be affected. Only when its power is exhausted to a point lower than my Spiritual Power can I stop.¡±


    Lu Qiulong spoke while, at the same time, the Extremely Wicked Tiger lightly shook its head. It seemed to be persuading him not to use this move.


    ¡°Old fellow, just let me act willfully one more time.¡±


    Lu Qiulong touched the black ¡°king¡± mark on the forehead of the Extremely Wicked Tiger, and the Spirit Beast shook its head again. It had already sensed the terrifying Sword Light of Chen Mobai during their previous exchange, which was extremely restrained towards its Fire Attribute.


    There was not a high chance of winning this battle.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me a liar.¡±


    Lu Qiulong said these words. His face turned pale as a sheet in an instant, then flushed hard. His body grew bigger and veins bulged all over.


    Seeing this, the Extremely Wicked Tiger let out a sky-shattering roar. Once this move was used, there was no turning back.


    With an earthshaking roar, Chen Mobai saw the Extremely Wicked Tiger turn into a large puff of platinum airflow, mixed with black and red blood gas, and attach itself to the surface of Lu Qiulong¡¯s body.


    At the same time, the remaining Green Sun Fire on Lu Qiulong¡¯s arms was completely removed. The wounds healed, leaving only faint charred traces of the sword wound.

 Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 338 Full of Flaws_3

    Chapter 529: Chapter 338 Full of Flaws_3


    And his aura kept soaring, in a blink of an eye broke through Rank-8 of Foundation Establishment, then Rank-9, eventually reached Perfection, and was even still rising, reaching the very ceiling of the Foundation Building Realm.


    As the platinum current dissipates, a completely transfigured Lu Qiulong emerged into Chen Mobai¡¯s sight.


    He had swelled significantly, his skin sprouted sparse hair and a row of sharp tigers teeth glinted coldly, making him appear like an upright striding tiger.


    ¡°Impressive, this power makes even me tremble.¡±


    Chen Mobai observed that Lu Qiulong, in this state, almost equated to the level of spiritual power at the Perfection of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment, which was already the peak power attainable in the Foundation Building Realm.


    This sense of oppression was something he had never experienced in the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Ready to embrace the failure?¡±


    Lu Qiulong muttered this with a muffled voice, then in almost an instant, he rushed to Chen Mobai¡¯s front and threw a heavy punch.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s body was sent flying like being impacted by a high-speed train, smashing into the surface of the lake from midair, causing huge splashes.


    Amid the concussive sound, Lu Qiulong instantly reappeared before Chen Mobai, his massive hand, sharpened like claws, was pressing against Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, seemingly about to press him to the bottom of the lake.


    ¡®Hiss¡¯!


    A wisp of green-blue sword light lit up like a line in the palm of Lu Qiulong, accompanied by the bright red blood, half of Lu Qiulong¡¯s hand pressed against Chen Mobai¡¯s face was sliced off.


    Chen Mobai slightly turned his head, already shaking off the remaining half of Lu Qiulong¡¯s hand.


    In the throes of severe pain, Lu Qiulong seemed to have his animalistic fury fully stimulated, he clenched his other intact hand into a fist, and with terror-inducing force which could upheave the entire island in the lake, smashed heavily towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Facing such an onslaught, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled brightly, remaining cool-headed, his right hand extended, Five Elements Sword Light intertwined creating a rain of sword strikes, piercing towards all parts of Lu Qiulong¡¯s body.


    However, a surge of platinum current seemed to form a Blood and Chi Armor, covering Lu Qiulong¡¯s entire body.


    Just as Lu Qiulong thought his defenses could easily block the rain of Five Element¡¯s sword light as they did the Rank-3 Thunder method, a series of needle-like pains spread throughout his body.


    ¡°Too bad, this isn¡¯t your own power.¡±


    Chen Mobai said calmly, under the opened Void Spirit Eye, he could clearly see at least a dozen overloading points in Lu Qiulong¡¯s physical body due to the uncoordinated fusion of spiritual power, monstrosity, and Divine Sense.


    Spread among his five internal organs and twelve meridians.


    His Five Elements Sword Light rain targeted these areas specifically, particularly the restraining organs and parts.


    With a bang, the platinum current that enveloped Lu Qiulong completely dispersed like the smoke mists burst by his fist.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, at least we¡¯ll both be damaged!¡±


    Seeing his own defenses was completely stripped away, Lu Qiulong, with nothing left to defend, only focused on avoiding, he took a deep breath to suppress the severe pain generated by the disorder of his Five Elements, channeling the remaining power he could mobilize into his intact right hand.


    The already massive arm swelled once more at this moment, several earthworm-like veins bulged out, and even a trace of blood mist seeped out from his pores, clearly demonstrating the massive power of Lu Qiulong¡¯s punch.


    Even the air was punched into rings of waves.


    However, there was another ¡®hiss¡¯!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, holding the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in his left hand, unknown when he had plucked it out, made a light swipe in front of him.


    The Green-sun Fire Sword Light shimmered like a thread.


    This huge fist of Lu Qiulong was cut off by him at the wrist.


    Chen Mobai initially thought this would be a thrilling duel of true men, however, the big-named Lu Qiulong, albeit with the strongest power on the scene after Spirit Fusion


    ¡°Full of weaknesses!¡±

 Chapter 532 - Chapter 532: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation_1

    Chapter 532: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation_1


    ¡°How¡¯s your hand?¡±


    On Da Ye Island, Qi Huanzhi turned to ask Lu Qiulong.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just can¡¯t exert any strength.¡±


    Lu Qiulong sat on his own spirit beast, looking at his hands that were bandaged by the Imperial Medical Academy and hung around his chest, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh bitterly.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s sword is terrifying.¡±


    The one speaking was Lou Fengcheng. In his open right palm, gold lines flickered continuously, forming a three-dimensional image of Chen Mobai. A green lightning and a small flying sword also turned into symbols, flickering around the image.


    ¡°The Thunder Method has been taken care of. Now, once we resolve the Sword Light, we can completely defeat him.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan wore a frosty expression. He had come over today. Even though he watched the videos of Chen Mobai easily defeating four people, he was still full of confidence in himself. However, after two failures, he had gained something called patience, so he came here to participate in the ¡®Defeat Chen Mobai¡¯ alliance held by Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°The Sword Light is of fire attribute, and it seems to be refined with a powerful spiritual fire as the foundation of the Sword Light. Defensive techniques and magic artifacts of water attribute are the best, earth attribute is also okay, as long as it¡¯s not metal or wood attribute.¡±


    It was on this matter that Lu Qiulong met his defeat. He had assumed that after merging with the Extremely Wicked Tiger, he would be able to manipulate the platinum air streams to block the Rank-3 Thunder Method, allowing him to fight Chen Mobai on equal grounds.


    Who could have known that he would run into the Green Sun Fire Sword Light and get completely outdone.


    His heavily armored blood Qi and strength, touted to be at the ceiling of the Foundation Establishment Realm, hadn¡¯t even been brought into play, and he was defeated in just two strikes. This was an even more humiliating and quicker loss than back when he was at Little Red Sky.


    ¡°For the next match, Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Lasting Spring Cultivation precisely counters his fire attribute Sword Light. If she also has a defensive artefact that can counter the Thunder Method, the two of them should be in for a fierce Dragon Phoenix Duel.¡±


    Tao Mingqing was the most calm in the room. He didn¡¯t have an obsession in his heart regarding winning or losing against Chen Mobai. He joined this union because the Primordial Elemental Academy had a good relationship with the Repairing Heaven Institute, and he thought it would be interesting if he could defeat Chen Mobai.


    For Tao Mingqing, who now only harbored hopes of Core Formation, during the long period of waiting for the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment, keeping himself busy with something, or having a goal, would make life more interesting.


    ¡°There¡¯s also his Spirit Eye Technique.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi opened his mouth. He had cultivated the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, and when Chen Mobai had accurately shattered Lu Qiulong¡¯s overloaded pressure points after the Spirit Fusion through Five Elements Sword Light, Qi Huanzhi quickly grasped this detail yet critical information.


    ¡°In that case, when confronting him, we need to use a talisman to hide Qi and spiritual power beforehand.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng nodded his head. After further refining Chen Mobai¡¯s 3D model with the Guidance Book, he set a strategy to block the Spirit Eye Technique.


    ¡°Should we send the information we¡¯ve collected to Wenren Xuewei?¡±


    Tao Mingqing suddenly suggested an idea.


    ¡°No need, let those two have a peak duel first. Whether it¡¯s victory or defeat, it will be advantageous for us.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan suddenly spoke up, revealing the chill in his eyes.


    ¡°I would rather hope that the kid wins. This way, I can personally defeat him thoroughly in front of everyone.¡±


    Everyone quickly reached a consensus.


    After all, Wenren Xuewei rejected them voluntarily, they naturally didn¡¯t need to persist.


    Moreover, Dance Tool and Jumang were originally part of the same group.


    They didn¡¯t really trust Wenren Xuewei either.


    It should be a cause of joy for them that the two were having inner disputes now.


    ¡­


    ¡°Good luck.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Qing Nu squinted and smiled, holding her fist she cheered for Chen Mobai who was about to leave.


    ¡°What do you want to eat today?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood at the door, stretching his body, and asked.


    ¡°Yesterday¡¯s barbecue was pretty good.¡±


    ¡°Alright, but I might return a bit late today.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem, my Cultivation Technique naturally comes with a fasting feature, I can endure hunger.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll only be a bit late, I won¡¯t let you go hungry.¡±


    Chen Mobai cheerfully left, exuding strong confidence.


    Although the Lasting Spring Cultivation is indeed mighty, his Pure Yang Scrolls were on par with those reaching the Divinity Transformation. If it doesn¡¯t work out, he¡¯ll just use an explosive Green Flames Sword Slaughter, anyway, the remaining Green Sun Fire could still condense another Sword Sha.


    The offline competition lasted for ten days, and today was the fifth day.


    And it was on this day that over a hundred true cultivators of the Daoist Academy and the Ten Great Schools around the Center Lake Island had all gathered, but not a single person went up for a match.


    Everyone was waiting for the confrontation between possibly the two strongest competitors in this offline competition.


    Wenren Xuewei of Jumang Daoist Academy, who in the past five hundred years, was the first to have cultivated the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    And, Chen Mobai, who restored the glory of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who is unstoppable among his peers, and is even about to clear through the entire Foundation Building Realm, Battle Law Victory.

    If it was earlier, most people would definitely think that Wenren Xuewei would win.


    This was because the reputation of Lasting Spring Cultivation is overwhelming.


    However, Chen Mobai in this last five days, demonstrated his extraordinary prowess, convincing many true cultivators of this generation that he will be one of the peaks of the immortality seeking path in the future.


    Moreover, up until now in the offline competition, Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t shown his true strength.


    At this time, everyone acknowledges him as the well-deserved first on the Foundation List.

 Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation _2

    Chapter 533: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation _2


    Today, Xiahou Weihuan also naturally came.


    Having already helped Sima Xingyu stabilise his injuries, he didn¡¯t want to miss this top-notch duel.


    Although he considers that his Pure Yang Scroll combined with the Primordial Yang Sword Secret is not less significant than the Lasting Spring Cultivation method, Xiahou Weihuan respects Lan Haitian¡¯s strength. If Wenren Xuewei can hold him to a draw, she is obviously at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Maybe they even possess Rank-3 methods.


    As per usual, Chen Mobai arrived elegantly at nine in the morning.


    Upon seeing that not a soul stood above the ten ring platforms on the island in the lake, he was mildly surprised, but soon figured out the reason.


    ¡°Did everyone eat breakfast?¡±


    Chen Mobai first arrived at the platform of Dance Tool Dao Academy, handing out the breakfast he had bought to Zhuang Jialan, intending her to distribute it to the rest of their academy peers. Jumang Dao Academy¡¯s food was excellent, although it was light, it still had an exquisite elegance to it.


    Under the guidance of Qing Nu, he practically ate all over Wood God Island, and naturally didn¡¯t forget to bring food back for his own academy members.


    Although cultivators¡¯ desires diminish as their cultivation realm increases, Chen Mobai still retains this habit.


    ¡°Do you need me to wait for you?¡±


    The voice of Wenren Xuewei came. She stood on the platform of Jumang Dao Academy, with a faint smile on her face.


    ¡°No need, I already ate on my way here.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, then waved goodbye to Zhuang Jialan and the others, joining Wenren Xuewei as they descended towards the surface of the lake.


    Nor stirring up a single ripple, the two stood in a pentagonal ring platform.


    ¡°Your Rank-3 Thunder Method is very terrifying, so I borrowed a Rank-3 Defensive Magic Artifact.¡±


    While Wenren Xuewei was speaking, she raised her own jade-like right hand. A wooden ring sat on her slender middle finger.


    The ring was golden all over, yet it brimmed with ripples as if beneath the blue sky, one sees the sparkling sea.


    ¡°This ring is called ¡®Sea Passage¡¯. It is made from the wood of a big tree. It has both water and wood attributes.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei had briefly introduced it, and Chen Mobai, with the accumulated knowledge about treasure appraisal over these years, assessed it to be a lower-grade Rank-3 defensive artifact.


    Although they, who are top cultivators at Foundation Establishment, can handle a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, if its grade is higher, then trying to use it would feel like a weak youth waving a large hammer, extremely difficult.


    Therefore, Foundation Establishment cultivators typically select lower-grade Rank-3 items as they are easier to handle and drain significantly less spiritual power.


    Wenren Xuewei is indeed confident, but in the face of a Rank-3 Thunder Method, she doesn¡¯t want to resist directly with her own power and physical body.


    ¡°This sword is called ¡®Gliding Sparrow.¡¯ It¡¯s also made from a type of Spirit Wood, with both fire and wood attributes.¡±


    Given the honest way his opponent was behaving, Chen Mobai returned the favor by displaying the same respect. This was the first time he willingly extracted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his topknot ponytail in public, pinched it with his thumb and forefinger, presented it and called out the name of this exquisite flying sword for the first time in public.


    ¡°Although this Gliding Sparrow is just a Rank-2 flying sword, it is the ideal match for you.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei seemed to also have knowledge in treasure appraisal, her eyes brightening at the sight. She had already read through the real and false ins and outs of the Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯s level and quality.


    However, when Chen Mobai had used this flying sword against Lu Qiulong before, perhaps it was recorded and then identified by others.


    Compared to Wenren Xuewei, who had no choice but to use a Rank-3 Magic Artifact in defense against the Rank-3 Thunder Method, Chen Mobai¡¯s flying sword was a higher-grade second-rank weapon, perfectly matched to his cultivation level, and able to maximize its power potential to the fullest.


    With a hiss!


    Without exchanging any more words with Wenren Xuewei, Chen Mobai directly raised the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in his hand and drew a Green Sun Fire Sword Light at her.


    This sword light had easily defeated the incredibly powerful Lu Qiulong just yesterday. Although Wenren Xuewei had achieved Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had no plans to resist it directly.


    She reached out her hand and lightly clenched toward the lake within inches of it. Several strands of water twisted like a spiral, gathering in her palm into a long whip, which she swung against the Green Sun Fire Sword Light.


    With a ¡°bang¡±, water splashed and the high temperature turned Wenren Xuewei¡¯s water whip into a mist of water vapor, enshrouding half of the lake in a hazy water mist.


    Chen Mobai and Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s figures flickered simultaneously in an instant.


    Sounds of water dragons humming sounded in the lake, the lake¡¯s water seemed to have sprung to life, transforming into partially transparent water dragons that emerged from the mist. With the wild and vast power of waves, they attacked the figure in the mist, who was shrouded in reddish-black color, just like breakers crashing against the shore.


    In the surging sound, a bright arc of sword light swiftly slashed around the reddish-black figure. The moment it came into contact with the sword light, the three water dragons that had just rushed in were evaporated into a cloud of mist.


    Yet the water dragons seemed endless. Under the control of Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s hands, they rose one after another like puppets on strings, continuously plummeting down on Chen Mobai.


    Zizzling!


    A faint sound of electric current echoed in the ears of the spectators, followed by a thunderclap out of the blue. A thick, green thunder pillar shot into the sky, resembling a huge thunder sword. With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand, it completely evaporated about twenty or thirty water dragons that Wenren Snow Veil had accumulated.


    The lightning, like a pillar of a sword, annihilated the group of water dragons, then slanted and fell like a collapsing tower, slashing towards the hazy girl standing in the mist of the lake.


    However, a clear wave of water lit up on her golden ring at the tip of her fingers, giving off a shimmering bluish light as if the sea was glistening under the morning sun.


    The Yi Wood Divine Thunder fell on the wave, and the ocean swallowed it up without a trace in an instant.


    At this moment, a greenish-gold point of light lit up at the very center of the mist, and then like a bullet being shot out, crossed the entire circle of the arena in a blink of an eye. Just as Wenren Snow Veil had just controlled the Rank-3 magic artifact and the internal spiritual power operation had slightly lagged, it pierced into the right shoulder of the girl in the green dress.


    As this sword penetrated, Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s body, as if hit by a huge impact, abruptly plunged into the bottom of the lake, causing a spray of water.


    Without the enhancement of the Lasting Spring Cultivation¡¯s spiritual power, the mist covering the stage could no longer be maintained, revealing the figure of Chen Mobai who has just flicked his flying sword with his right hand at the center.


    However, after landing this penetrating strike, his expression did not show the joy of victory.


    There seemed to be confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Did he defeat his opponent so quickly again?¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. If he had won, Battle Law Victory would not hide his emotions.¡±


    ¡°So he hasn¡¯t won yet? But that sword obviously pierced Wenren Snow Veil, could it be that there was some protective charm blocking that sword?¡±


    While the spectators were discussing heatedly, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s Guidance Book was already in motion, simulating the mysterious exchange between Chen Mobai and Wenren Snow Veil with his left eye on Chen Mobai, and his right eye on Wenren Snow Veil.


    Out of everyone present, only Ding Chundzhi seemed surprised and enlightened.


    ¡°So this is the Lasting Spring Cultivation!¡±


    Next to him, the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion, who had changed into Astral Observation Academy uniform, muttered to herself. She too saw a trace of what¡¯s happening.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up. He looked at Wenren Snow Veil, who was sent to the bottom of the lake by his sword stroke, and beckoned with his right hand.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin, refined by him to respond to his will, lit up with a greenish-gold light, slowly bringing a intact Wenren Snow Veil out of the water surface.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin indeed stabbed into Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s right shoulder. Her green dress on the shoulder was burned by the Green-sun Fire carried by the sword light, exposing a section of her white, round, and smooth shoulder.


    But there was no blood.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin is visibly still stuck in Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s shoulder!


    ¡°My Lasting Spring Cultivation is only at the first level, so I can only maintain a state in which my body remains unchanged and unharmed.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While Wenren Snow Veil was speaking, she reached out to pull out the ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin stuck in her right shoulder, and at this point, everyone finally saw the bloody glow from the wound after the hairpin was pulled.


    However, it immediately seemed as if time was reversing, the wound disappeared, and the area where the sword mark had appeared, the skin returned to its sleek and delicate state.


    If it wasn¡¯t for witnessing it with their own eyes, no one would believe that she was stabbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s sword earlier.


    ¡°If my sword just now was stuck in your head, could you recover as well?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai asked with curiosity.

 Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_1

    Chapter 534: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_1


    ¡°That¡¯s for you to discover.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled faintly, and with her right hand clenched in thin air, arches of flowing water rose from the surface of the lake and solidified into a crescent-shaped water-edged weapon in her palm.


    In the splashing sound.


    The water blade rushed forward as if the water was roaring, and in a moment, it had slashed to within an inch of Chen Mobai¡¯s sight.


    Faced with such an attack, Chen Mobai merely lifted his right little finger, and Earth Sword Glow erupted, easily smashed the water blade, and continued with grandeur, split into three, stabbing at Wenren Xuewei¡¯s forehead, heart, and dantian ¨C three vital areas of the human body.


    However, representing the wood attribute, a green spiritual light lit up on the surface of Wenren Xuewei¡¯s body, transforming into a phantom tree branch that spiraled and wrapped around the three Earth Swords, eventually shattering them.


    But after the Earth Sword Glow was restrained, Chen Mobai had once again driven the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. The Green Sun Fire Sword Light, resembling a line of fire from far and near, burnt the phantom branches and once again stabbed towards Wenren Xuewei.


    However, this time, it was aimed at the Sea of Knowledge at the center of her eyebrows.


    ¡°So ruthless!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a friendly fight, don¡¯t use such deadly moves!¡±


    ¡°Someone stop them. If it really causes a fatality, there will be big trouble.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the surrounding audience all changed their faces when they saw Chen Mobai¡¯s ruthless moves.


    Even Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face changed slightly at this moment, she didn¡¯t expect that the man in front of her was not joking.


    The Tonghai ring emitted a blue water light, transforming into a water shield that covered Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face, blocking the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Hisss Hisss Hisss!


    At this moment, golden sword lights rushed over like a storm, stabbing into various parts of Wenren Xuewei¡¯s body with a thunderous momentum. They were supposed to be the crucial points of the human body.


    The internal organs, twelve meridians, and the most crucial Dantian Qi Sea¡­


    ¡°This guy¡¯s sword glow, it¡¯s flowing a little too smoothly between transformations.¡±


    On the platform of the Mountain and Sea Academy, Pei Qingshuang watched Chen Mobai use earth, fire, and gold attribute sword lights to probe for weaknesses in her friend Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Long Lasting Cultivation. Her moves flowed flawlessly, causing Pei Qingshuang to show a puzzled face.


    ¡°As expected of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s top student, I guess in the past hundred years, you and senior sister Pei have the strongest swordsmanship talents in the immortal path.¡±


    Linghu Xian, the top student of this term in the Mountain and Sea Academy, is also a sword cultivator who practices Geng Metal Sword Technique. Seeing how smoothly Chen Mobai¡¯s three attributes of Sword Light transformed, even the typically arrogant Linghu Xian couldn¡¯t help but admire.


    ¡°How does his Geng Metal Sword Light compare to yours?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang suddenly asked Linghu Xian this question, to which he immediately shook his head, indicating he was inferior.


    ¡°I have only just begun to grasp my Geng Metal Sword Light. I can only use it and I¡¯m not at all able to compare with this battle law victor.¡±


    Linghu Xian was a tenth grader, with a cultivation level of the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. But because he mastered the Sword Light, he was regarded as the Sword Cultivation Genius of the Mountain and Sea Academy in the past sixty years, second only to Pei Qingshuang.


    With the powerful attack power of the Sword Light, even in the Little Red Sky, Linghu Xian soared to fame. Some people even thought he might become the second Battle Law Victor.


    Originally, Linghu Xian still had a bit of wild hope, feeling that with some effort, he might be able to replicate Chen Mobai¡¯s invincible record in the Little Red Sky.


    After all, they both were sword cultivators who had mastered the Sword Light, and his cultivation level was even a bit higher.


    But today, he finally understood.


    There is indeed a difference between one genius and another.


    While he was complacent because he had mastered one type, this Battle Law Victor of the Dance Tool Dao Academy had already mastered five types. Moreover, they were of five different attributes, and he had no flaws in his Sword Dao, making him a perfect sword cultivator.


    ¡°No, this Sword Dao realm has already transcended the word ¡®genius¡¯.¡±


    However, Pei Qingshuang noticed the discord in this. She was known as the most outstanding genius in the Mountain and Sea Academy for the past hundred years. Even Sword Dao Grandmaster Hao Cao had nothing but praise for her talent.


    He believed that she could surpass him in the future and become the first sword cultivator to reach Nascent Soul Formation in the past several hundred years.


    But even with her swordsmanship talent, she had only mastered two types of Sword Light to date.


    Chen Mobai, who has a lower realm than her, has mastered five types of Five Elements Sword Light. This kind of talent can¡¯t be described as a genius anymore. I¡¯m afraid even the White Light Ancestor of the immortal path, a Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator, was like this when he was the same age.


    Could it be, he is truly a Divinity Transformation person!?

    Or is there some yet undiscovered key point?


    As Pei Qingshuang pondered, her eyes narrowed, and she watched the battle scene on the lake surface even more attentively.


    Chen Mobai looked at Wenren Xuewei, whose green dress had been pierced by his Geng Metal Sword Light but her body did not have a single wound. Her skin remained snow-white, smooth and delicate, even her vitality did not show any signs of weakness and was at its peak.


    ¡°You blocked the flying sword aimed at your Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but you didn¡¯t care about the Geng Metal Sword Light stabbing at other parts of your body. It seems that the only weakness of your Great Spring Cultivation is the head.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, Wenren Xuewei gave a faint smile. She lightly stroked her Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt, and the parts of it cut open by the Sword Light began to mend themselves like extending branches.

 Chapter 535 - Chapter 535: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_2

    Chapter 535: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_2


    In a flash, her skirt was left undamaged.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would figure it out all at once, but there¡¯s one thing you got wrong. Although my Lasting Spring Cultivation is just at the beginning stage, and my Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion can¡¯t remain stable and unharmed, the reason I blocked your Flying Sword is because there is a powerful Spirit Talisman within my Divine Sense. If your Sword Light invaded and triggered the backlash of this talisman, leading to your defeat, it would make this spar rather pointless.¡±


    Hearing Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai thought of the Rank-5 Wood Spiritual Talisman mentioned by Qing Nu and was somewhat taken aback.


    However, he never intended to truly harm Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, as this was just a spar after all.


    Even if Wen Renxue Wei hadn¡¯t used the Tonghai ring to block the Flying Sword earlier, he would have redirected it towards another part of her body.


    ¡°I believe that the state of being unharmed maintained by your Lasting Spring Cultivation can¡¯t last long, right?¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai summoned the Flying Sparrow Hairpin back to the palm of his hand with a wave.


    ¡°You can try again, maybe I won¡¯t last a few more minutes.¡±


    While Wen Renxue Wei said these words with a smile still on her face, Chen Mobai¡¯s fighting instinct could sense that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.


    [Should I use the Sword Sha technique?]


    [I wonder if the sustain blood effect of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter could break her constant state created by the Lasting Spring Cultivation?]


    [No, let¡¯s test again.]


    Within a moment, numerous thoughts and tactics flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, but in the end, he decided not to rashly use his best card before fully understanding the limits of the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    Then, Chen Mobai was sure.


    Wen Renxue Wei, was indeed the fiercest rival he had ever faced within the same realm.


    No wonder Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t subdue her. After mastering Lasting Spring Cultivation, Wen Renxue Wei was invincible against any opponent she faced.


    However, what Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t achieve, Chen Mobai might be able to.


    Facing an unbeatable opponent, Chen Mobai could finally stop restraining himself.


    With a sizzling sound, a red lightning burst out from his left hand.


    Upon seeing the sight of the Thunder method, Wen Renxue Wei instinctively activated the Tonghai ring, and a surge of water light solidified into a barrier. But after taking action, she suddenly realized that this was not the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, but the Rank-2 Bing Fire Divine Thunder.


    However, once the Rank-3 Magic Artifact was activated, she couldn¡¯t call it back, so she gritted her teeth and used the water light barrier to block the red lightning.


    As this Magic Artifact was not her own, there would be a gap after each use by Wen Renxue Wei.


    Boom!


    After using the Bing Fire Divine Thunder to exhaust the Rank-3 Magic Artifact, Chen Mobai activated the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    The wild Thunder Essence in his palm was as gentle as water, being condensed into a fierce Thunder method that suddenly burst out, piercing Wen Renxue Wei who had no other option but to resist with her physical body.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai showed mercy.


    The fierce Thunder method slightly deviated, avoiding the originally targeted Qi Sea in the Dantian, and instead opened a hole in the graceful curve of Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s right waist and abdomen.


    Then, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder exploded, spreading through Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s body from the wound on her waist and abdomen.


    With such an injury, even a foundation establishment expert focused on Body Forging at the state of Perfection would likely lose their fighting ability on the spot.


    However, the power of the Lasting Spring Cultivation surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s expectation.


    Although Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s physical body was rendered a mess by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, she managed to endure until the activation gap of the Tonghai ring. A clear water light lit up from the golden ring surface, pouring into her body, suppressing and expelling all the raging Thunder Essence outside of her body.


    Amid the sizzling sounds!


    Chen Mobai was unyielding. He raised three fingers on his right hand, and the Divine Wood, Geng Metal, and Green-sun Fire Sword Qi were shot out in parallel.


    Among them, the Green Sun Fire Sword Light was attached to the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. Alongside the support of the Spiritual Fire, its power was at the peak of Rank-2.


    Alone, it could collapse Lu Qiulong. Among those present, few could confidently withstand it.


    Wen Renxue Wei had just driven out the Rank-3 Thunder method, and the fist-sized hole in the waist and abdomen area had only recovered by half. Once again, she was pierced by Chen Mobai¡¯s three Sword Lights into the spleen, liver, intestines, and lungs.


    In an instant, the Five Elements within Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s body started to imbalance.


    However, she remained incredibly calm. Her right hand crystallized a thin layer of Water Essence, acting like a transparent glove. At this critical moment, she was able to grab the Flying Sparrow Hairpin which was aimed at her liver and gallbladder.


    Even though the Green Sun Fire Sword Light still penetrated a part of her body, she managed to minimize the physical damage.


    Chen Mobai once again maneuvered his right hand. The remaining Green-sun Fire in front of him suddenly spread and burned, forming several green-red Flame Chains stretching out from the void, each binding Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s neck and limbs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, his Divine Sense exploded, wielding the Fire Chain Technique, trying to pull Wen Renxue Wei off the duel platform.


    Splash!


    As expected, Wen Renxue Wei couldn¡¯t stand up to Chen Mobai¡¯s entire set of tactics. Her not yet fully recovered delicate body was dragged as though being towed behind a water motorbike, leaving a trail of white foam on the lake surface. It appeared as though she was about to leave the dueling platform.


    ¡°Wood God, assist me!¡±


    With a soft shout, Wen Renxue Wei formed a seal with her left hand, a complex and precise restriction spreading in her palm.

 Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_3

    Chapter 536: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_3


    Immediately following, two thick roots extended from the bottom of the water. The strong Wood Yuan Force surprisingly surpassed the suppression of properties, forcibly crushing the chain of flames formed by the Green-sun Fire. Afterwards, it grasped Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s slender legs, pulling her back to the center of the stage.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai finally realized what he had overlooked.


    The Void Spirit Eye lit up, and under the circumstance that Wen Ren Xuewei did not conceal anything, he saw the connection she had established with the Big Tree to transport energy.


    With the influx of pure and powerful Wood Yuan Force, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s body, which was full of wounds caused by Chen Mobai, seemed as if time was rewinding. The fist-sized hole at her waist slowly shrunk and eventually became smooth, snow-white skin again.


    As Wen Ren Xuewei lightly waved her hand, the Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt also returned to its original state.


    The two branches released her legs, and she gracefully landed, standing atop the lake¡¯s surface while frowning slightly. She rubbed her waist and abdomen, where she¡¯d been wounded earlier. It seemed that the pain hadn¡¯t completely faded yet.


    At this time, all the watching True Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage were looking at Wen Ren Xuewei as if watching a monster.


    Just now, any person would probably need emergency aid with that kind of injury.


    Bian Jingchun estimated that if she were beaten up by Chen Mobai like that, she would probably be left with a last breath.


    But Wen Ren Xuewei was like in Little Red Sky, as if she was going back in time.


    She looked as if she¡¯d just gotten off the platform to fight with Chen Mobai: elegant and clean, not showing the terrible injury she¡¯d just sustained, which was almost half of her physical body.


    ¡°So, your constant state is not consuming your own power.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the energy link between Wen Ren Xuewei and the Big Tree and knitted his eyebrows.


    He could understand the Lasting Spring Cultivation Technique¡¯s constant state of immunity to physical harm, but he judged that this state must consume a tremendous amount of spiritual power.


    He had previously thought that with Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s Real Cultivation at the Perfection stage, even if she was practicing the Divinity Transformation Technique, she would have at most 300 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power. As long as he injured her physical body multiple times, he could wear her down until she could no longer maintain this state.


    Besides, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s use of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact would consume a significant amount of spiritual power.


    But he didn¡¯t anticipate that the energy source for Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s constant immunity to physical harm would be this Big Tree.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit too cheeky.¡±


    Chen Mobai extended his hand and called to retrieve the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s palm. But a tree branch flew out from the lake, wrapping around and suppressing the Flying Sword.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s because I have the geographical advantage that I can do this. Once the Lasting Spring Cultivation is achieved, I have already formed a link with the Wood God. Even in the farthest place from the Immortal Gate, or even in the outer space, I can use the power of the Wood God to maintain my constant state of immunity to physical harm.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei explained with a smile, saying even more astonishing words that shocked everyone present.


    ¡°Lan Haitian and I didn¡¯t fight here, but he still couldn¡¯t do anything about my Lasting Spring Cultivation. This is the reason.¡±


    [I wonder if the link between the Lasting Spring Cultivation and the Big Tree will still work if there is a world¡¯s distance between them?]


    This question flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, though he was certain he wouldn¡¯t ask it.


    He looked at Wen Ren Xuewei. Under the Void Spirit Eye, he was looking for possible flaws and finally found something different about his opponent than before.


    ¡°The power of the Big Tree can maintain your state of not being physically harmed, but controlling the Rank-3 Magical Artifact or even maintaining the link between you and the Big Tree still needs to consume your own spiritual power and divine sense.¡±


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve figured it out.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s face showed surprise, but she stood in the middle of the stage, her demeanor still relaxed.


    ¡°That is to say, the key to this exchange of pointers lies in whose spiritual power and divine sense will be exhausted first.¡±


    After seeing through it, Chen Mobai nodded, approving his correct choice of not using the Sword Sha.


    Because the use of Sword Sha consumes too much spiritual power.


    Wen Ren Xuewei has an unlimited health bar, but her attack and defense spells are average.


    In other words, as long as he adopts the correct tactic, he can exhaust her spiritual power and divine senses.


    His Five Elements Sword Light won¡¯t be restrained by any attribute, it can even counter Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s earth, water, and wood spell.


    It¡¯s not impossible to win this duel.


    Despite pondering a lot, only a moment had passed. After reconfirming his tactics, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any more spiritual power and divine senses on controlling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin to escape.


    He stood on the surface of the lake, the Five Elements Sword Light on his right fingertip ready to go, but he didn¡¯t make a move first.


    ¡°Never mind. How about we call this a draw between us?¡±


    After Chen Mobai took a defensive counterattack stance, Wen Ren Xuewei was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing that the current Battle Law Victory had grasped the key to their duel, she thought about it and didn¡¯t make another move. Instead, she proposed an approach that everyone found both surprising and sensible.


    A draw is permissible in an offline duel.


    And it¡¯s the best choice under the current circumstances.


    ¡°So be it.¡±


    With both sides in agreement, the duel ended in a draw.


    But no one thought the draw was questionable.


    While Wen Ren Xuewei had completed the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she certainly did not want to experience that kind of injury, filled with wounds, again.


    And Chen Mobai, unable to break this, the most difficult entry level cultivator¡¯s technique of the Immortal Gate, could only accept the draw.


    ¡°Your Sword Dao realm isn¡¯t one where one sword breaks all techniques, is it?¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai turned around to leave, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s voice rang out from above.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect someone to be able to notice.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked up and smiled slightly.


    The realm of ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± was what he deliberately wanted to reveal, in order to solidify his standing as an exceptional Sword Cultivation Genius.


    It¡¯s just that there weren¡¯t many connoisseurs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It was only after going through Ling Daoist Master, Lu Qiulong, and fighting with Wen Ren Xuewei today that Pei Qingshuang, the person with the highest Sword Dao Realm on the scene, noticed something.


    ¡°No wonder with such a realm, you have such a formidable combat power.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s confirmation, Pei Qingshuang, who had always been haughty, looked serious for the first time.


    But their conversation left everyone else at the scene confused.


    Only Lou Fengcheng seemed to have thought of something, his face turning pale.

    Chapter 537: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_1


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting! I should have thought of it earlier!¡±


    During the conversation between Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang, Lou Fengcheng finally ascertained the crucial piece of information. He started, his face aghast, drawing curious glances from those at his side from the Repairing Heaven Institute who were in Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°What is Sword Light Shapeshifting? Is it a sword technique?¡±


    At the neighboring platform of the Primordial Elemental Academy, Tao Mingqing asked outright.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Sword Dao Realm!¡±


    ¡°Realm? Among the Nine Realms of Sword Dao, there doesn¡¯t seem to exist ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯?¡±


    As one of the most popular professions in the immortal world, the Nine Realms of Sword Dao are well-known to most. Tao Mingqing had never heard of ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ before.


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting is not part of the Nine Realms of ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws¡¯. Instead, it lies on the route of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws¡¯.¡±


    ¡°One Sword Spawns All Laws? It seems familiar.¡±


    Although in the immortal world, only Jiedan Sword Cultivators would come into contact with and understand the information about ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws,¡¯ Lou Fengcheng and Tao Mingqing, who were among the most elite students in the Daoist Academy, had heard about this content from extensive extracurricular reading.


    In particular, for Lou Fengcheng, the cultivation of the ¡°Guidance Book¡± involves a lot of knowledge accumulation. The more he learns, the more powerful this Cultivation Technique.


    When he was exploring the practice of sword cultivation, he delved into the Nine Realms of ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws.¡¯ By association, he learned about the obscure ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws¡¯ and remembered this formidable sword path proven to reach the pinnacle of achievement, albeit extremely arduous.


    ¡°¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ represents the entry point of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws.¡¯ If one gets the chance, they can venture further along this path. The Elder Bai Guang succeeded by treading this path and used his Primordial Spirit to Accompany the Sword.¡±


    At the moment when everyone was brimming with doubt, Lou Fengcheng calmly voiced a sentence that drastically changed their expressions.


    ¡°The path of Divinity Transformation!¡±


    ¡°This guy is terrifyingly powerful.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he, with only third-tier Foundation Establishment, can overpower all of us. It turns out he has Elder Bai Guang¡¯s talent.¡±


    ¡°His talent is the best in Sword Dao in the last thousand years in the immortal world!¡±


    Listening to Lou Fengcheng, the more than a hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were already apprehensive about Chen Mobai¡¯s combat strength, entirely accepted the reality of being inferior.


    It would be normal for them to lose. If they could beat him, wouldn¡¯t that mean that Elder Bai Guang¡¯s reputation was unearned?


    However, while these Foundation Establishment True Cultivators accepted it, Xiahou Weihuan and others from the Foundation List, Chen Mobai¡¯s potential opponents in the next few days, couldn¡¯t.


    Although they were also the prides of their respective schools, they had only hoped to achieve Core Formation up till now, with the more ambitious ones merely aspiring to the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± stage.


    But now, the guy in front of their eyes had the Deity Form.


    No wonder he dared to challenge the most elite Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the immortal world alone. Without such a spirit, he really couldn¡¯t achieve Divinity Transformation.


    [Although ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ merely signifies stepping onto the path of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws,¡¯ the combat ability of this realm is not as good as that of ¡®Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡¯ of the same realm. I can still win!]


    Xiahou Weihuan consoled himself inwardly in this manner. As the only swordsman on stage second to Pei Qingshuang and Chen Mobai, he too was aware of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws,¡¯ but he just hadn¡¯t considered it earlier.


    But now, even if Chen Mobai was formidable, Xiahou Weihuan wouldn¡¯t admit defeat.


    And besides, he had practiced the top-tier Primordial Yang Sword Evil. In a face-to-face battle, unless he were against Wei Ni Xuewei, a monster with Unlimited health, he was confident he could beat any opponent in the same realm.


    ¡°Next, it¡¯s your turn to spar with him. Do you want to admit defeat?¡±


    Tao Mingqing, noticing that Lou Fengcheng looked somewhat troubled, jokingly asked.


    ¡°¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ just indicates that he has stepped onto the path of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws.¡¯ In the thousands of years of the immortal world, there have been numerous sword cultivators of this realm, but in the end, only Elder Bai Guang managed to attain the Primordial Spirit Accompanying the Sword.¡±


    Under Tao Mingqing¡¯s tease, Lou Fengcheng actually felt calmer, and he regained his usual demeanor.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, even if he has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, what¡¯s the big deal? Brother Lou, you have practiced the ¡®Guidance Book,¡¯ and Elder Qian Xing also reached Divinity Transformation with the ¡®Guidance Book.¡¯ By comparison, Brother Lou also has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation.¡±


    A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Repairing Heaven Institute flattered.


    Amongst the Dual Sages of the Immortal World, Qian Xing and Bai Guang,


    Qian Xing descended from the Primordial Elemental Academy and was admitted to the Repairing Heaven Institute for further studies after graduation.


    During this period, he acquired the heritage of the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ that established his foundations for Divinity Transformation.


    Therefore, saying that Lou Fengcheng, who practiced the ¡®Guidance Book,¡¯ had the qualifications for Divinity Transformation was not problematic.


    However, Lou Fengcheng himself was clear-headed. He knew that he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to win this fight.


    But to pave the way for his allies, he decided to step up.

    Even if he were to lose, he would drag the fight out as long as possible.


    The longer the duel, the more information the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ could gather, making it easier to deduce the opponent¡¯s weaknesses.


    [You must have achieved Sword Sha, right?]


    Xiahou Weihuan was still glaring at Chen Mobai, when he abruptly heard Lou Fengcheng¡¯s utterance. His eyes widened.


    [The ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ is indeed extraordinary. You even managed to spot that.]

 Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_2

    Chapter 538: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_2


    After all, they are now allies. Without hesitation, Xiahou Weihuan agreed.


    ¡°Meet me at the usual place tonight. I¡¯ll revise our tactics. Mingqing and I will pave the way for your duel. I hope your Sword Sha won¡¯t disappoint us.¡±


    Upon hearing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s words, Xiahou Weihuan confidently clenched his fists and declared with an assertive tone.


    ¡°If I lose, I will never use a sword again!¡±


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai knew nothing about the alliance between his opponents. However, even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care.


    After all, there wouldn¡¯t be another Wen Renuxue.


    The power of the ¡°Guidance Book¡± lies in information. Although he had already made moves five times, his biggest trump card Sword Sha had not been revealed. Lou Fengcheng was doomed to fail against him.


    Although Tao Mingqing ranked fifth on the Foundation List, Chen Mobai thought his actual strength might not be better than Lou Fengcheng¡¯s. Only his foundation might be a bit stronger that¡¯s why Ding Chundzhi ranked him above Lou Fengcheng.


    Qi Huanzhi had also practiced a part of the ¡°Six Sovereign Scriptures,¡± but Chen Mobai was confident he could break it with his Sword Sha.


    Xiahou Weihuan couldn¡¯t defy his Sword Sha either.


    Only Pei Qingshuang gave Chen Mobai a bone-piercing sensation of Sword Intent during their eye-contact. Given that even Lan Haitian was unwilling to fight with her, it was clear that she is another strong enemy who can force him to go all out.


    He just didn¡¯t know if she was as resilient as Wen Renuxue. He hoped she wouldn¡¯t shatter at the first touch.


    After considering all the opponents to come, Chen Mobai and Wen Renuxue left the stage and returned to their academy¡¯s platform.


    ¡°Wen Renuxue had held back.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai arrived, Chi Shicheng spoke out.


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Here, she could utilize the power of the Big Tree, but she didn¡¯t. Maybe she thought the victory would be unmerited if she used it. Or perhaps she wanted a fair battle with you.¡±


    After hearing Chi Shicheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai realized that seemed to be the case.


    At the beginning of this offline skirmish, Wen Renuxue stated that she could suppress anyone with the power of Big Tree.


    However, during the battle with Chen Mobai, she only commanded this power when she was about to get dragged off the lakeside platform, and crushed the ¡°Fire Chain Technique¡±.


    ¡°Jialan, ask Sister Wen Renuxue when she¡¯s free. I want to invite her for dinner.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that this matter could be discussed in person.


    But as a man, abruptly inviting a woman and being refused would damage his pride. So, he asked Zhuang Jialan to test the waters first.


    ¡°No need to ask now, do it when I leave.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai watched two more duels of his Academy¡¯s contestants on the platform.


    Zhongli Tianyu effortlessly won, but Jiang Yuyuan faced an opponent from the Five Thunder Academy who is a fourth-tier foundation establishment. Although she was his fan, she didn¡¯t hold back during the duel and decisively defeated him.


    As Zha Jianbai was preparing for his turn, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay to watch and as per his routine, withdrew early.


    After a while, he received Zhuang Jialan¡¯s message.


    Wen Renuxue was having tea at the Qu Shui Pavilion in the evening; Chen Mobai could find her there if needed.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Qu Shui Pavilion?¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu.


    ¡°On the west side of Wood God Island, there are many pavilions extending from the island. These act as our cultivation rooms. Qu Shui Pavilion is one of them. However, it seems to be exclusively reserved by Sister Wen Renuxue. You¡¯re going there today?¡±


    Halfway through, Qing Nu suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Chen Mobai with wide eyes.


    ¡°Yes, when I dueled with Wen Renuxue today, her Lasting Spring Cultivation was indeed powerful, forcing me to a stalemate. However, I have some doubts about that match, so I want to seek advice from her.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide anything from Qing Nu and told her the truth.


    ¡°You drew with Sister Wen Renuxue!?¡±


    Qing Nu found it hard to believe. As someone who once experienced the intricacies of Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had a clear understanding of the power of this Divinity Transformation.


    With an unbeatable stand from the start and fighting next to the Big Tree, even Lan Haitian would likely not be a match for Wen Renuxue.


    ¡°It was something like a draw. However, Chi Shicheng suggested she might have held back. That¡¯s what I¡¯m intending to ask tonight.¡±


    Qing Nu took a deep breath, looking up and down at the handsome young man before her once again.


    Although she knew he was capable back in Red Sandstone City, she never would have thought that even Wenren Xuewei, who had mastered Lasting Spring Cultivation, couldn¡¯t suppress him.


    The title given to him by the Red Robe Daoist was indeed accurate.


    Battle Law Victory!


    ¡°Make it a quick trip.¡±


    Qing Nu couldn¡¯t think of a reason to dissuade Chen Mobai from seeing Wenren Xuewei, so she could only say these four words.


    ¡°What do you want to eat for late night snack? I¡¯ll bring it back for you.¡±


    ¡°Bring more barbecued meat. I think I¡¯ve been too thin lately.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit stunned by Qing Nu¡¯s words.


    ¡°Oh, alright.¡±


    He was just saying, but she actually took it seriously.


    Qu Shui Pavilion.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, he found it wasn¡¯t just Wenren Xuewei there.


    ¡°Greetings to the two senior sisters.¡±


    In addition to Wenren Xuewei with her waterfall-like green tresses and long green robe, there was also a cool, exceptionally beautiful woman with snow-white skin.


    Both were sitting drinking tea, likely of the same rank; hence, calling them senior sisters was surely correct.


    ¡°Originally, Cui¡¯er was here too, but she worried that if she met with you in advance, the Sword Intent she¡¯d been nurturing might be triggered by you, so she didn¡¯t come.¡±


    ¡°Cui¡¯er¡­ who is that?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked when he didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°Cui¡¯er is Pei Qingshuang. Her original name was Pei Cui. After she got possession of Qing Shuang Sword, she changed her name to Pei Qingshuang for a perfect fit with the sword.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled and spoke up, then pointed to an empty seat indicating for Chen Mobai to sit down.


    ¡°I see. After fighting with Senior Sister Wenren, the only one I look forward to fighting against among the remaining opponents is Senior Sister Pei.¡±


    Once Chen Mobai sat down, he spoke his mind.


    ¡°What do you want from me?¡±


    ¡°Did Senior Sister hold back today?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wenren Xuewei, who was pouring tea, paused her motion and looked at him with a puzzled eye.


    ¡°Why do you think so?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke of Chi Shicheng¡¯s judgment and Wenren Xuewei nodded her head in understanding.


    ¡°You could say that. But don¡¯t assume I have perfect control over the Big Tree. The constant state of Lasting Spring Cultivation is an agreement between our Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s ancestor and the Big Tree. I can passively use its power, but if I want to actively harness the Big Tree¡¯s power, I need to actively consume my own Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°After fighting with you, I¡¯ve already experienced the pain of almost being riddled with holes. Even if I barely suppressed you with the power of the Big Tree, I¡¯d probably have to lay low for a year or so afterward.¡±


    ¡°If you were a mortal enemy, I would be willing, but it isn¡¯t necessary for just a competition. Moreover, Jumang and your Dance Instruments Academy are brother schools with thousands of years of friendship.¡±


    Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai was enlightened.


    At this moment, she handed him a cup of green tea, which Chen Mobai immediately accepted.


    ¡°However, considering the friendship between the two academies, you, as a junior brother, did not show any mercy to me. When I was pierced on the stage, I was so angry that I almost couldn¡¯t help but fight back.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only laugh awkwardly in response, took a sip of his tea and changed the topic, while still complimenting her.


    ¡°Senior Sister is wise and just, far beyond my reach. By the way, I haven¡¯t heard the name of this senior sister yet?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I¡¯m Yan Qiongzhi, I often hear Xuan¡¯er talking about you.¡±


    Before Wenren Xuewei had introduced her, Yan Qiongzhi had already spoken up.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you, senior. Back in Red Sandstone City, you were veiled. Today, I have seen your astounding beauty, I didn¡¯t recognize you at first ¨C my apologies.¡±


    At this, even Wenren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°You little fellow, why do you talk in the same tone as those old officials?¡±

 Chapter 539 - Chapter 539: Chapter 363 Sword Sha Takes Action_1

    Chapter 539: Chapter 363 Sword Sha Takes Action_1


    Listening to Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai gave an embarrassed smile.


    It¡¯s just a family education.


    ¡°Did you know that Butian and Kunpeng have teamed up with many experts from various academies, and they seem to be targeting you?¡±


    Wenren Xuewei mentioned the invitation from Lou Fengcheng, although the latter did not specifically say what it was, but thinking carefully, she could guess what it was about.


    ¡°It¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a faint smile, had some tea and chatted with the two older senior sisters for a while before taking his leave.


    Having met for the first time and getting to know each other, this friendship might have room to develop if they have the chance to meet again in the future.


    Of course, Chen Mobai did not forget to exchange contact information with the two women.


    ¡°How do you feel about him?¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Wenren Xuewei suddenly asked Yan Qiongzhi.


    ¡°A good junior.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi nodded lightly, a symbol of approval.


    ¡°If you fight with him, can you win?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll only find out after we fight, but after watching his last two magic duels, I can say he has a chance to beat me.¡±


    Her words caused Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face to become slightly serious.


    Others may not know how terrifying the Gold Core Domain is, but she clearly understood from her own battles with Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi. Although she was able to withstand them by using the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, she could only maintain it to avoid defeat.


    ¡°Younger generations will do better than us. But with such outstanding juniors, I can now focus on Core Formation.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei sighed and made a decision.


    Hearing her words, a look of envy appeared in Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Congratulations on your upcoming Core Formation.¡±


    As the most difficult Divinity Transformation technique to master in the Immortal Door, the key feature of Lasting Spring Cultivation is not for fighting, but for utilizing a constant force to repeatedly explore and cross major realms.


    For other cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, attempting Core Formation not only requires them to adjust their essence, qi, and spirit to their peak condition, but also to find a suitable Spirit Vein that matches their cultivation technique and prepare Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine before they dare to take this step carefully.


    Even so, the majority of them end in failure.


    The consequences of a failed core formation are even more terrifying than a failed Foundation Establishment. Most of them would end up with a Fake Pill collapse, with the lighter injuries falling back to the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and the more severe ones possibly resulting in broken meridians, shattered Dantian, and being critically injured.


    Even for those with light injuries, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to recover.


    However, practitioners of Lasting Spring Cultivation don¡¯t have such worries.


    As long as they maintain their unharmed state before the breakthrough, even if they fail at Core Formation, their physique would not suffer any damage. The most that could happen is a drop in their realm.


    However, for Immortal Door cultivators, rebuilding spiritual power is the simplest task, as long as there¡¯s an ample supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Lasting Spring Cultivation is essentially a critical method for Foundation Establishment.


    But compared to methods that only work for Foundation Establishment, Lasting Spring Cultivation can be used at any breakthrough, whether it¡¯s a minor realm or a major realm, it ensures that the body remains unscathed even after a failed breakthrough.


    Therefore, after Wenren Xuewei mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, everyone considered her unimpeded in Nascent Soul Formation.


    While Yan Qiongzhi needs to plan meticulously for Core Formation and even borrow the powerful Water Vein from the Jumang Daoist Academy, Wenren Xuewei can choose anywhere to conduct Core Formation.


    However, those who have mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique strive for perfection during realm breakthroughs.


    Failing this time is not a problem, as long as they discover the reason for failure.


    They don¡¯t fear death, and after several attempts, they can achieve successful Core Formation naturally, just like Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Foundation Establishment, and thus achieve the highest quality Gold Core.


    Wenren Xuewei has tried Core Formation twice before, but both attempts were unsuccessful.


    Originally, she planned to wait another ten years for Zong Zi to grow up and succeed her as the figurehead of the Jumang Daoist Academy at the Foundation Building Realm.


    But seeing Chen Mobai, who is such a genius, she felt that grinding in the current realm was meaningless.


    After all, Jumang and the Dance Instruments are intertwined, and Chen Mobai can also be considered a representative of Jumang.


    ¡°I¡¯ve estimated that I¡¯ll need one or two more attempts at Core Formation to succeed.¡±


    Hearing this, Yan Qiongzhi looked at Wenren Xuewei with eyes full of envy, and the latter realized that saying this in front of her best friend might have been showing off a bit.


    She couldn¡¯t help but stick out her tongue in a playful manner and suggested.


    ¡°You can ask Ding Chundzhi to predict your luck to see the success rate of your Core Formation. Although he is timid by nature, his skills in divination are indeed the true teachings of the Astral Observation Academy.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi thought for a while and nodded.


    Even she, a distinguished person who has achieved the Gold Core Domain, felt a subtle lack of self-confidence when facing the huge obstacle of Core Formation.


    Under such circumstances, many cultivators of the Immortal Door would choose to have their fortune told.

    The next day.


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the lake-island, he found that the ten arenas were still empty.


    ¡°You did a good job yesterday.¡±


    While on the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai first complimented Zhuang Jialan, but pointing at the empty lake below, he looked confused.


    ¡°Ever since your duel with Wenren Xuewei, no one dares to enter the arena before you¡¯ve completed your match each day,¡± she explained.

 Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 363: Sword Sha Acts Out_2

    Chapter 540: Chapter 363: Sword Sha Acts Out_2


    Bian Jingchun shrugged his shoulders, revealing something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to do that. I might just be a few hours late one day. There is only so much time in a day, and it doesn¡¯t make sense to waste it waiting for me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made the people of Dance Tool Daoist Academy exchange glances. It was rare to see someone shirking responsibilities so openly.


    But Zhuang Jialan was used to it.


    In the student union, they barely saw this president throughout the year.


    ¡°Lou Fengcheng is watching you.¡±


    Sun Daoji reminded him, Chen Mobai nodded, then locked eyes with Lou Fengcheng. Both of them flew down from the platform and landed on the lake surface.


    In the midst of the rumbling sound,


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother with pleasantries, he directly cast a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder at Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face.


    Faced with such an attack, Lou Fengcheng activated his Guidance Book. Golden threads of light in his left eye traced a three-dimensional image of Chen Mobai.


    He then gently waved his Colorful Cloud Sleeve with his left hand. A rainbow of light rose and formed a shield against the green bright sky thunder, casting it into mid-air.


    ¡°Eh, a Rank-3 magical robe!¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed that the robe worn by Lou Fengcheng has actual-like cloud patterns at the cuffs and collar. Emerging from his white robe, they floated leisurely around him, forming a strong defensive power.


    ¡°First, seal the Thunder method, then let¡¯s see if I can break through his Sword Light!¡±


    After activating the Guidance Book, all distractions and emotions in Lou Fengcheng dissipated, and he started to calmly work towards his pre-fight goal.


    That was to defeat his current opponent!


    With his Rank-3 Colorful Cloud Robe in a pre-activated state, Lou Fengcheng drew a long, thin blade from his sleeve. The blade¡¯s radiance was clean and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed an invisible blade momentum dozens of meters long, which fell towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Upon recognizing the gold effect from the sword light using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai quickly cast a Green Sun Fire Sword Light.


    Fire defeats metal. The moment the blade light came in contact with the sword light, it began to shatter inch by inch.


    But Lou Fengcheng, holding the blade, had already rapidly rushed in front of Chen Mobai. With a horizontal slash, he drew a brilliant streak of cold brightness along the lake surface.


    With a ding sound,


    Chen Mobai pointed his Flying Sparrow Hairpin at the blade, and sparks began to sputter.


    In a mere instant, both of them backed away.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s body seemed to have no recoil at all. By the time Chen Mobai had adjusted his position, he had already picked up his blade and lunged once more.


    In a hissing sound, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye captured the trajectory of Lou Fengcheng, the hairpin was shot from his fingertips, the green-sun fire sword light¡¯s power surged dramatically, and after crushing the blade¡¯s light, it also plunged into his opponent¡¯s shoulder.


    But the studded Lou Fengcheng instantly split into four, much like Ling Daoist¡¯s final strike against Chen Mobai earlier. The four figures crisscrossed with their blades, rushing toward Chen Mobai standing in the center from all sides.


    Moreover, these four blade lights each had different attributes.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, knowing his Sword Light Transformation realm, with the subtlety of the Guidance Book, he shouldn¡¯t be making such ineffective attempts.


    Just blade lights.


    He had a bad feeling and didn¡¯t use his routine Five Elements sword light. Instead, he launched the Yi Wood Divine Thunder once more.


    However, this time he didn¡¯t increase its power to Rank-3.


    Although this move might fool Wen Renxuewei, it couldn¡¯t fool Lou Fengcheng who had activated the Guidance Book. But just as the latter¡¯s four figures lifted their blades intending to obliterate this Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Chen Mobai smiled slightly.


    Before the thunder roared and lightened, the three-dimensional figure of Chen Mobai in Lou Fengcheng¡¯s left eye suddenly brightened up.


    The Guidance Book had caught on to this key point.


    The power of Yi Wood Divine Thunder rose from Rank-2 to Rank-3.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s emotions remained unchanged. He immediately halted, and the figures merged into one, the Rank-3 Colorful Cloud Robe triggered, once again completely blocking the Green Bright Thunder Light which Chen Mobai had abruptly escalated.


    At the same time, Lou Fengcheng swung the blade on his right hand backward.


    With a tingling sound,


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, carrying the Green Sun Fire, was deflected by the blade. Like a shooting star, it drew a beautiful arc in the air and returned in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So this is the Seamless Book of Square Inches!¡±


    Amidst his admiration, Chen Mobai compared Lou Fengcheng to his previous opponents.


    He might not be as powerful as Lu Qiulong, not as advanced as Wen Renxuewei, but he did a better job than both of them when facing Chen Mobai.


    You could even say that he is the first one to make Chen Mobai feel a sense of difficulty.

    When Ling Daoist used the Guidance Book previously, it was the same. However, his power and realm were inferior to Chen Mobai, resulting in his defeat.


    But Lou Fengcheng, who had already achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment, might be somewhat inferior to entities like Lu Qiulong and Wen Renxuewei in terms of power and realm but still superior to Chen Mobai.


    After activating the Guidance Book, relying on the data he had collected from Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Five Elements Sword Light in the previous battles, he truly demonstrated flawlessness, without any loopholes.


    Should I resort to using Sword Sha?


    Chen Mobai contemplated this question. At this time under the absolute focus state of the Guidance Book, Lou Fengcheng had already drawn his blade to attack again, and this time he surprisingly used another different blade technique.

 Chapter 541 - Chapter 541: Chapter 363 Sword Sha makes a move _3

    Chapter 541: Chapter 363 Sword Sha makes a move _3


    The blade¡¯s aura swept across the lake, transforming into a myriad of water-hued sword edges that enveloped the entire battlefield where the two were clashing.


    Chen Mobai spread out the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on his wrist to protect himself, in the face of this extensive attack.


    At the same time, Lou Fengcheng split into five, slashing out bright blade flashes. He attacked from five directions¡ªfront, back, left, right, and underneath the lake¡ªtoward Chen Mobai¡¯s body.


    Fortunately, although Chen Mobai¡¯s agile movements were not up to par, the flexibility of his fingers, refined with five drops of Tree Juice, was faster than Lou Fengcheng¡¯s blade flashes.


    The Five Elements Sword Light burst forth, precisely crushing the five blade flashes, and pierced into the five clones of Lou Fengcheng.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly looked up.


    He saw the sixth Lou Fengcheng, like a transparent water man amidst the myriad of water-light, slowly appearing in the vacuum under the sunlight. The tender long sword transformed from transparent to sparkling and crystal-clear, carrying a bone-chilling cold, thrusting towards Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrow¡¯s Sea of Knowledge.


    ¡°Well, under the Guidance Book¡¯s state, all battle consciousness is tilted towards the fastest victory over the enemy.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai witnessed an opponent attacking his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion during a spar. Earlier, only he knew that Snow Willow could not be killed and had dabbled in this area.


    Compared to the gentleness of other Cultivators, Lou Fengcheng, after using the Guidance Book, completely turned into a ruthless battle machine.


    This attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless. There wasn¡¯t enough time to redirect the Sword Light.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly contracted. He did not resort to his most potent tactics, instead employed Divine Sense to unleash the fastest ¡°Divine Slash¡± with his gaze.


    If the Divine Slash could stall the opponent¡¯s Divine Sense, even if just for a moment, he could redirect the sword, and have the five-colored Sword Light stab towards the semi-transparent opponent above him.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin chirped and also under the control of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, it ignited a clear streak of fire, ready to unleash the next wave of attack.


    However, for these tactics to work, it was imperative that the Divine Slash took effect.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s semi-transparent figure was entirely visible under Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, and two invisible, formless mind-blades also cut into the former¡¯s gaze.


    But as soon as the Divine Slash cut halfway, strands of golden lines lit up in Lou Fengcheng¡¯s eyes, tying up the invisible mind-blades like a sky net.


    Information about the Divine Slash had been revealed during previous spars.


    In the Guidance Book state, Lou Fengcheng was ready for all of Chen Mobai¡¯s tactics.


    Unable to execute Divine Slash within Lou Fengcheng¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the following maneuvers naturally became ineffective.

    Seeing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s sparkling and clear transparent long sword almost touching Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows, the spectators gasped, faces wrought with disbelief.


    Could it be that this undefeated Battle Law Victory was really going to lose?!


    Then, they saw a thumb-sized Sword Pill radiating a splendid light, flying out from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    It was like a sun erupting on the lake surface, causing all Foundation Establishment True Cultivators¡¯ eyes to go blind in that instant, forcing them to close their eyes.


    But before they closed their eyes, they all saw a beam of brilliant light soaring into the sky. After annihilating Lou Fengcheng¡¯s transparent long sword, it effortlessly pierced through the defense of the Celestial Cloth, and aboard Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder, which could not maintain its transparency, it burned a fist-sized bloody hole.

 Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 364: Everyone Bows Down_1

    Chapter 542: Chapter 364: Everyone Bows Down_1


    ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s injured body fell from the sky. Under the effects of the Guidance Book, despite his expressionless face, his body¡¯s instinct still made him cough up blood.


    [My Heavenly Resplendence Garment is a Rank-3 magical robe, it can even block a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, why couldn¡¯t it block his sword light just now?]


    Because Chen Mobai had not exhibited the Green Flames Sword Slaughter in the past, Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t have this information in his database. He still saw the azure light as sword light, only that it had elevated to the Rank-3 level.


    But even powerful sword light should not be able to breach my Rank-3 magical robe easily!?


    [Fortunately, he avoided my vital organs. My injuries are not severe, and I can still maintain my peak state using the power of the Guidance Book¡­]


    Lou Fengcheng raised his hand to cover the bloody hole in his right shoulder, with colorful lights pulsating in his palm. He intended to stop the bleeding first, and then forcibly stimulate his body¡¯s potential through the Guidance Book for the final attempt.


    A hissing sound!


    The palm that had just been placed on his shoulder was suddenly pierced by an azure light.


    Under the effect of the Guidance Book, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face and gaze remained unchanged.


    He lifted his palm, and the strand of azure light, like a spark of flame, started burning at the wound. It turned into a scorching heat wave that flowed through his blood vessels, making his whole body boil in an instant!


    At a sudden sound.


    A clear flame ignited on Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder and palm, making it seem as if his body was burning from the inside. His flesh and blood became fuel, and the fiery heat began to gush out from his wound.


    The Guidance Book, which had been suppressing the various negative states of his weakened body, pain, burning sensation, and so on, suddenly deactivated at this moment.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s left eye, in which the three-dimensional golden model of Chen Mobai had collapsed, twisted his face in an instant. He collapsed onto the surface of the lake in agony, opening his mouth to gulp down the lake water as if he was a dragon sucking water.


    ¡°Oh, the Guidance Book is quite smart, right? Did it detect that you would die if you continued to maintain the ¡®Seamless State¡¯? ¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai used the Sword Sha against an opponent in reality, and Lou Fengcheng was the first victim of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    It appears that the Sword Sha¡¯s power is much stronger than he had imagined.


    The Rank-3 Heavenly Resplendence Garment was pierced, which was the effect of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡¯s ¡®Burning¡¯ and ¡®Armor-Piercing¡¯. In addition, this magical robe seemed to be primarily of the water attribute, which probably made it extremely vulnerable.


    After the Sword Sha entered the body, Lou Fengcheng initially felt that his injuries were not serious. However, under the continuous effects of ¡®Blood Burning¡¯ and ¡®Searing Heat¡¯, he soon felt his blood boil.


    If it weren¡¯t for the exceptional Guidance Book, which removed the Seamless State at a critical moment, Lou Fengcheng probably wouldn¡¯t stop fighting until all his internal organs were cooked and his vitality was depleted.


    ¡°Is this¡­ Sword Sha!?¡±


    On the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi, who had been idly observing, could not help but exclaim in shock.


    Upon hearing his words, the hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, who were still in awe of the power of Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light, were all dumbfounded, looking at the handsome young man standing in the center of the lake with disbelief.


    On the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s side, their Chief was stunned, his rigid face turned to look at Xiahou Weihuan, whose face was ashen.


    He was the first person in the field to recognize the Sword Sha.


    But he didn¡¯t want to admit that there was a second Foundation Establishment True Cultivator who could cultivate Sword Sha besides him.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who had always been confident in herself, shook her head. Her eyes were also filled with disbelief.


    No one knew better than her the difficulty of condensing Sword Demons.


    Not to mention the Qi of the Sword Sha, just refining one¡¯s sword light to perfection, giving it a spiritual nature, and the consciousness and body being able to withstand the backlash of the Sword Sha, are not things that a Foundation Building Realm Sword Cultivator can achieve.


    Pei Qingshuang could do three of them, but her body¡¯s strength was not adequate to take the hit of Sword Sha entering the body.


    After all, the power of Sword Sha was Rank-3, and although she was a rare genius and never lacked resources, managing to cultivate a Rank-3 Body Training Technique at the Foundation Building Realm was still beyond her ability.


    On the Big Tree Academy platform, Wenren Xuewei¡¯s mood was uncertain as she confirmed that it was Sword Sha.


    [If he had used this Sword Sha against me, could I withstand the pain of my body burning and my blood boiling?]


    Although Wenren Xuewei was confident that she could ignore the destructive power of Sword Sha with the help of Lasting Spring Cultivation, she knew that her Divine Consciousness was limited. If the physical pain from multiple injuries exceeds her limit, she might also faint.

    [If I truly activate the power of the Big Tree¡­]


    Wenren Xuewei imagined a scene where she was fighting against Chen Mobai, who was using Sword Sha to his full potential. She found that, fortunately, she had taken the initiative to make a truce yesterday, otherwise, they might actually have ended up in a stalemate.


    Even if she could use the power of the Big Tree to suppress the power of the Sword Sha, her Divine Consciousness would definitely exceed its limit and she would faint.


    Little did she know that Chen Mobai actually had more than one Sword Sha.


    After the Guidance Book stopped running, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s reason returned. He drank a layer of lake water, relieving the internal burning sensation. However, the terrible burning feeling that seemed to consume his life made him feel weak all over.

 Chapter 543 - Chapter 543: Chapter 364 All Bow Down_2

    Chapter 543: Chapter 364 All Bow Down_2


    ¡°Doctor!¡±


    Upon seeing the withered appearance of Lou Fengcheng, even the skin began to dry and crack, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from Repairing Heaven Institute could no longer bear it. Two of them jumped off their platforms and yelled loudly towards the Imperial Medical Academy.


    ¡°The contest hasn¡¯t finished. According to the rules, we can¡¯t interfere yet.¡±


    But the two people from the Imperial Medical Academy, though standing on the edge of the platform, looked hesitant. After glancing at Chen Mobai, they said something that made the True Cultivators from the Repairing Heaven Institute frustrated yet helpless.


    ¡°I¡­surrender¡­¡±


    The hierarchy within Repairing Heaven Institute was strict, Lou Fengcheng knew that the two juniors would not dare to admit defeat on his behalf. However, after regaining rationality, he no longer clung onto his dignity, raised his hand with the last bit of his strength, and gave in.


    Upon hearing this, the two students from the Imperial Medical Academy breathed a sigh of relief. They descended to Lou Fengcheng¡¯s side, quickly checked his condition, only to awkwardly ask Chen Mobai for help.


    ¡°Chief Chen, we need you to expel the power of this Sword Sha, only then can we help.¡±


    At these words, Chen Mobai gave a light nod, his right hand slightly clenched, streaks of transparent yet red flames emerged from the wound on Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder. It was as if threads of fire coalesced in his palm.


    The strands of blood-red mist that accompanied the Sword Sha disappeared over the lake, evaporating. The resulting Sword Pill was once again transparent like pure jade, emitting a danqing-colored brilliance.


    Then, in front of everyone¡¯s astounded eyes, Chen Mobai opened his mouth and swallowed the Sword Pill!


    ¡°This competition winner, could he be a Rank-3 Body Cultivator!?¡±


    It is common knowledge that Sword Sha is a Rank-3 power and among the most formidable of Sword Cultivator techniques. To endure and nourish it with one¡¯s body, the minimum requirement would be the Rank-3 Body Forging Realm.


    ¡°No, his body is not that strong. Compared to his thunder method and sword dao, one might even say it is a weakness.¡±


    Lu Qiulong, who had had a bout with Chen Mobai, slowly shook his head, giving a conclusive answer.


    ¡°It¡¯s due to a perfectly compatible spiritual body with the power of Sword Sha! It should be a ¡®Fire Spirit Body¡¯. Having a constitution like this, the power of Sword Sha isn¡¯t a burden, but rather nourishes the Fire Spirit Body. As the Fire Spirit Body becomes stronger, it can in turn nourish the Sword Sha, making it even more powerful.¡±


    The one who said this was a cultivator at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment from Five Thunder Daoist Academy.


    Being renowned for body forging in the Cultivation World, they were the most scholarly in the understanding of different spiritual bodies.


    After witnessing Chen Mobai swallowing the Sword Sha with no change in expression, and even looking slightly ruddy, as if he was replenished with vitality, after a moment of contemplation, they arrived at the most accurate conclusion.


    ¡°Chief Chen, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for our spar tomorrow. I am no match for you. I admit defeat.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to turn and leave, Tao Mingqing¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. This genius from Primordial Elemental Academy showed a bitter smile. Standing on the platform, he clasped his hands at Chen Mobai, conceding defeat.


    ¡°Oh, sparring with me is a rare opportunity. After all, there is no risk to life, are you really going to give up?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect that upon the release of his Sword Sha, not only did he defeat the seamless Lou Fengcheng, but even made Tao Mingqing willingly admit defeat.


    Though winning without a fight is good, he had intended to use his upcoming opponents to hone his practical application of Sword Sha in battle. Tao Mingqing, being ranked above Lou Fengcheng, would surely have been a worthy opponent.


    ¡°I practice the Five Elements Cultivation, merely having a solid foundation. When it comes to magic duels and real fights, even the two opponents you previously had would surpass me.¡±


    ¡°Originally, I thought I could support myself for a while relying on the comprehensive Five Elements Techniques and thus raise the prestige of Primordial Elemental Academy. But once your Sword Sha was out, I went through all the techniques that I have practiced and found none that could withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Since I¡¯m going to lose anyway, why should I suffer more pain on the stage? I might as well give up in advance.¡±


    Tao Mingqing said with a helpless look. If he could fight, or if there was even a glimmer of hope, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to concede at this stage.


    But the problem is, that was Sword Sha!


    And it clearly carries the power to pierce through armor. Although he also had borrowed a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, he wasn¡¯t confident that it could withstand the Sword Sha.


    Even if he could protect himself from it, what if the Magic Artifact suffered damage from the Sword Sha attack? Wouldn¡¯t that be even worse?


    Even if he managed to repair it and returned it, he would probably be chastised by the academy¡¯s administration.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I accept your concession.¡±


    Seeing Tao Mingqing speak thus, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t exactly force him to fight. He could only regretfully nod.


    Truth be told, he was quite interested in testing the Five Elements Cultivation of the Foundation Building Realm.


    The fact that Tao Mingqing could be listed fifth in the Foundation List due to his cultivation technique suggests the depth of his skill in it, likely learned directly from his idol, Senior Qing Ping.


    However, it seemed that he inherited the character as well. As soon as he realized he couldn¡¯t win, he shamelessly conceded right away.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze then shifted towards the Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    After Tao Mingqing¡¯s resignation, Qi Huanzhi would be his next opponent.


    Should he fight, or also surrender?


    All eyes followed Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze towards Qi Huanzhi. Standing on the platform, Qi Huanzhi calmly pondered for a moment, finally let out a sigh, and shook his head.


    Though he had the confidence to resist the power of the Sword Sha to some extent, his major restriction was that his Big Light Shield was suppressed by Chen Mobai¡¯s fire attribute Sword Sha.


    To withstand the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, he must use the Big Light Shield.


    Over the past few days, they had been present at all of Chen Mobai¡¯s magic duels and knew that his application of thunder methods and sword laws was masterful and refined, as if tempered through a thousand hammers and hundreds of trials, allowing for seamless transitions that were smooth and fluid.


    If he used the Big Light Shield to resist the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, and Chen Mobai suddenly unleashed the Green Flames Sword Sha, even if he could resist somewhat with the mysterious six Yu Jingming parts, the ultimate outcome would still be defeat.


    Moreover, his beloved Big Light Shield, which he had practiced with for a long time, would probably suffer significant damage under the devastation of the Sword Sha.


    After considering all the circumstances, despite Qi Huanzhi¡¯s desire to confront Chen Mobai in order to experience the terror of this Battle Law Victory himself, he ultimately chose to withdraw.


    It was just a friendly competition. If he loses, it¡¯s no big deal to concede the title of Academy champion.


    In any case, the Daoist Academy would lose to the Daoist Academy. It¡¯s not shameful.


    The reason he chose to join forces with Lou Fengcheng before was because Qi Huanzhi could still see a chance to defeat Chen Mobai. He believed that by all-out effort, the Six Yu Jingming parts plus the Big Light Shield might not be without hope of victory.


    But now, with the emergence of the Sword Sha, everything has changed.


    This was the power of a Rank-3 Sword Cultivator!


    His and Tao Mingqing¡¯s thoughts were alike, it was not necessary to risk their lives for Xiahou Weihuan.


    ¡°I¡¯m no match for you.¡±


    As soon as Qi Huanzhi said this, although most people had anticipated this, hearing it for real still left them stunned.


    ¡°However, I still want to fight you once. After this time, if you have time, would you accept an invitation for a private magic duel in the Little Red Sky?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was somewhat taken aback by Qi Huanzhi¡¯s surrender, the latter suddenly made another proposition.


    Hearing this, Bian Jingchun cast a pitying look at Qi Huanzhi.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Without any constraints in the Little Red Sky, Qi Huanzhi stood even less of a chance, but since he saved face, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, considering the numerous kindnesses he had received from Lan Haitian.


    ¡°I won¡¯t surrender. Kid, don¡¯t think you¡¯re the only one who has cultivated the Sword Sha!¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze reached the Pure Yang academy, Xiahou Weihuan laughed haughtily.


    At the same time, a striking orange light flashed in his eyes. An overwhelming sharpness and heatwave spread out, making everyone on the platform unable to stand and retreat one after another.


    Sword Sha!


    Xiahou Weihuan, indeed, was the only genius comparable to Nangong Xuanyu in the Pure Yang Academy over the past three hundred years, and he too, had cultivated Sword Sha.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Sha!¡±


    Seeing the familiar orange light in Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Your Sword Sha should be Qingyang Sword Sha, right? Qingyang Sword Jue is a subordinate sword technique evolved from Primordial Yang Sword Secret. I¡¯ll show you how weak your Sword Sha is in front of my pure and orthodox Primordial Yang Sword Sha.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s confident words made Chen Mobai look puzzled.


    He could not help but lower his head and stroke the yellow skin gourd at his waist.

 Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Chapter 365 Two Sword Shas_1

    Chapter 544: Chapter 365 Two Sword Shas_1


    ¡°Senior Sister Wen, since my opponents have given up, there¡¯s not much left. How about we finish the two remaining matches today so I don¡¯t have to run back and forth every day?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it and, to avoid being discovered by the Guidance Book over the next two days about the weak points of his Sword Sha, decided to settle the matches against Xiahou Weihuan and Pei Qingshuang today.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have enough confidence right now to overpower you. You can do as you wish.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Wenren Xuewei responded with a smile, saying something that took everyone by surprise.


    Reflecting back on the beginning, the confident words from Jumang, the face of Foundation Establishment from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai¡¯s remarkable prowess far exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°However, you¡¯ve just experienced an intense Magic Duel. You should rest a while and recuperate your Spiritual Power and vitality.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei gave another suggestion. Chen Mobai was confident of defeating Xiahou Weihuan, but he knew that any tiny detail could change the outcome, so he nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Our battle will still be on the last day.¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°I need two days to awaken the sword.¡±


    As Pei Qingshuang spoke, he lifted the Qing Shuang Sword from his waist. The longsword, which looked very ancient and elegant, showed no signs of being a Rank-4 sword from its exterior.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in acknowledgment. He had heard of the Qing Shuang Sword, and he was intrigued by its power.


    The Sword Tower of the Dance Tool Dao Academy housed over half of the top-notch Flying Swords in the Daoist world.


    Apart from the Rank-5 Sea-settling Sword, the most famous are Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang, the paired Rank-4 Flying Swords.


    In fact, a TV series was made to tell the story of the owner of these swords.


    These are Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators¡¯ main swords, and combined, their power is incomparable, making it an unbeatable combination in the Nascent Soul stage.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s agreement, Pei Qingshuang nodded and greeted Wenren Xuewei, then surprisingly left the stage in advance.


    ¡°President, once today¡¯s matches are over, why don¡¯t I give you the True Dragon Ding first?¡±


    After Chen Mobai returned to the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun worriedly suggested. The Qing Shuang Sword had such a famous reputation that if Pei Qingshuang could truly master the power of this Rank-4 Flying Sword, she would pose a challenge even to Chen Mobai, despite his Power of Sword Devil.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t mastered ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ yet, so even if you give me the True Dragon Ding, I can¡¯t use it.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head in denial. He felt somewhat challenged to control his own Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. If Pei Qingshuang really could control the Qing Shuang Sword, she¡¯d probably be like Bian Jingchun, only able to manifest a single sword strike.


    Moreover, this strike would definitely not reach Rank-4 power, probably only the peak of Rank-3 at most.


    If that¡¯s the case, it would actually be advantageous.


    However, given Pei Qingshuang¡¯s reputation over the years, things wouldn¡¯t be that simple.


    Among all the opponents encountered during the offline showdown, she¡¯s the only one that made Chen Mobai feel unsure.


    One can only hope for an evenly matched sword fight on the final day.


    After pushing thoughts of Pei Qingshuang out of his mind, Chen Mobai sat on the platform and began to meditate to recover the Spiritual Power and Divine Sense lost during the fight with Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°Fengcheng, are you okay?¡±


    On the platform of the Repairing Heaven Institute, Tao Mingqing came over and transferred his highly purified Five Elements Water Spiritual Power into Lou Fengcheng, aiding him in recovering from the heavy injuries caused by the burn of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°Your decision was wise.¡±


    Although Lou Fengcheng looked weak, thanks to the assistance from the Imperial Medical Academy and Tao Mingqing, he was able to whisper a reply.


    [I am dueling with him this afternoon, did your Guidance Book find any flaws?]


    At this moment, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s message arrived. Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face twitched slightly, as if he did have some insights on countering the Sword Sha.


    But after considering for a while, Lou Fengcheng shook his head. Because of his severe injuries, he couldn¡¯t use the Messaging Technique and hinted Tao Mingqing to pass on the message on his behalf.


    Tao Mingqing was a little surprised upon hearing the message but still nodded.


    He then delivered Lou Fengcheng¡¯s message to Xiahou Weihuan.


    [The four major Daoist Academies are all part of the same tree, we would never work against each other.]


    [What do you mean?]


    Xiahou Weihuan was confused after hearing this.


    [Our cooperation ends here. You should bury the idea of an alliance in your heart, and do not mention it to anyone.]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Tao Mingqing passed on another message. Realizing that Lou Fengcheng had backed off, Xiahou Weihuan was enraged. He huffed coldly and cursed ¡°coward¡± under his breath.


    ¡°This matter, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t hide from that person.¡±


    While treating Lou Fengcheng, Tao Mingqing asked, puzzled.


    ¡°For thousands of years, the four major Daoist Academies have been keeping the Daoist world in check through competition and compromise. Losing a round didn¡¯t bother me, admitting defeat is okay, and the Dance Tool Dao Academy won¡¯t hold me accountable.¡±


    ¡°But if I continue to meddle in the affairs of the Pure Yang Dao Academy, that would be disrespectful. On returning, the senior members of the Repairing Heaven Institute might find an excuse to kick me out of the academy in order to smooth over their relationship with the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±

 Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Chapter 365: Two Sword Sha_2

    Chapter 545: Chapter 365: Two Sword Sha_2


    ¡°However, it¡¯s a pity that, after this year, for the next sixty years until that person reaches Core Formation, Dance Tool Dao Academy will occupy the position of the top college in the Immortal Sect.¡±


    As Lou Fengcheng said this, his face was filled with regret.


    Lan Haitian had suppressed the Immortal Sect for sixty years at the Foundation Building Realm, allowing the Kunpeng Daoist Institute to enjoy its top spot until now.


    But now, Lan Haitian had gone to Core Formation, and suddenly there was Chen Mobai!


    They originally thought they from the Repairing Heaven Institute would have a chance.


    Now it seems, they are likely to be at the bottom for a while.


    At least, even in front of Wen Renxuewei who had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, Lou Fengcheng had no confidence in victory, he could only maintain a stalemate at best.


    On the Kunpeng Daoist Institute side, although Lan Haitian had gone to Core Formation, there was also Qi Huanzhi, whom Lou Fengcheng also had little confidence in defeating.


    Among the four major Daoist Academies, their Repairing Heaven Institute was unexpectedly at the bottom.


    ¡°Why think so much about it, let¡¯s both put all our energy into Core Formation.¡±


    Seeing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s melancholic mood, Tao Mingqing laughed and made a remark.


    The Primordial Elemental Academy didn¡¯t care about rankings at all. After Qing Ping became the principal, he upheld the philosophy of cultivation realm. Duels like Magic Duel were secondary. The only real principle was to live long.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, Let¡¯s leave the rest to the younger generation.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng, one of the proud figures who once led the Repairing Heaven Institute, quickly got over the bitter defeat.


    If there is no hope of victory, then one should try to make progress and give up one¡¯s position.


    In this regard, Ling Dao is still hopeful, it¡¯s just a pity that he and Chen Mobai are from the same generation, and can only compete for the second place at most.


    ¡°It¡¯s starting.¡±


    At this time, Tao Mingqing said excitedly.


    Lou Fengcheng opened his weary eyes and discovered that Chen Mobai and Xiahou Weihuan had both stepped onto the stage.


    ¡°The sword¡¯s name is ¡®Dancing Sun¡¯, which I personally cast from read copper.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan raised his red copper sword. The sword handle was round, carved with flame patterns. Though the sword body wasn¡¯t long, only half a meter, it gave people a sense of solemnity and respect.


    In the Immortal Sect, duels between sword cultivators were very ceremonial. Even though Xiahou Weihuan hated Chen Mobai so much that he gritted his teeth, he still followed this traditional sword-chime ceremony.


    ¡°The Sword¡¯s name is ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯, a gift from my elders!¡±


    Chen Mobai held the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in front of him. Everyone believed that this flying sword¡¯s origin was from the Treasure Trove, and every magic artifact sealed inside the Device Nurturing Sphere in the Treasure Trove was left by the graduates of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy before they passed on.


    It was perfectly acceptable to say that it was a gift from elders.


    What they didn¡¯t know, however, was that this elder was not from the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°Let me show you the real use of Sword Sha!¡±


    After the sword chime, Xiahou Weihuan said this in a cold tone, then with a clang, he unsheathed his sword.


    In an instant, the red copper of the sword was coated with a layer of orange-red light, as if a layer of clear oil had been splashed on the edge of the sword. Under sunlight, it released a dazzling, blinding light that people couldn¡¯t look at directly.


    With a bang!


    Facing the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Chen Mobai first used his Yi Wood Divine Thunder as a probe.


    The same Rank-3 power, the green thunder boomed from his palm, and Xiahou Weihuan simply sliced it in half with his sword.


    The thunder column was split in two, making an arc along Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s body, and on the surface of the lake, it evaporated into a series of hazy mists of water.


    With the sound of the sword piercing the air, Xiahou Weihuan had already rushed up to Chen Mobai with his sword in hand.


    With an icy look, he raised his sword and hacked again.


    The red copper sword imbued with Primordial Yang Sword Evil was invincible, slicing open ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, ¡°Fire Chain Technique¡±, and the Five Elements Sword Light.


    It seemed that nothing could stop it.


    Chen Mobai, who was fully aware of the destructive feature of the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, brought out his spirit weapon.


    An ancient bronze mirror emitted a reddish mirror light, as it made contact with the Wuyang Sword.


    The supposedly unstoppable sword suddenly halted.


    ¡°He does indeed have a Rank-3 magic artifact!¡±


    ¡°After all, he¡¯s the top student at the Dance Tool Daoist Academy. It¡¯s normal, only that his previous opponents couldn¡¯t push him to use his magic artifacts,¡± someone remarked.¡±


    ¡°Forget about a Rank-3 magic artifact, given his talent, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if the Dance Tool Daoist Academy prepared a Rank-4 magic artifact for him.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators watching the battle saw that Chen Mobai took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, and all their expressions showed that it was expected.


    Upon hearing the discussion, Bian Jingchun couldn¡¯t help squeezing her fingers.


    Her True Dragon Ding was of no use here at all.


    But who could help it if the top student of their Dance Tool Daoist Academy was so formidable.


    ¡°The sword augmented by the Sword Sha is as powerful as a Rank-3 flying sword. Each of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s sword strikes is equivalent to a Rank-3 attack, and the consumption of the Sword Sha is greatly reduced because of the sword¡¯s adherence,¡± Chi Shicheng commented, having the most insight and quickly recognizing Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s combat style.


    ¡°Under prolonged attack, this Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, even if it can block the attacks, is likely to hurt the power of its source. And a Foundation Establishment cultivator operating a Rank-3 magic artifact, the consumption of spiritual power is too much. Chen junior brother may be proficient in magic duels, but after all, his realm is lower, and his spiritual power is not enough. He may have to think of other ways,¡± said Sun Daoji, showing concern. Their Foundation Establishment Perfection spiritual power could operate a Rank-3 magic artifact for at most half an hour.


    Xiahou Weihuan clearly understood this, and kept waving his longsword to clash forcefully with the light shield of the mirror.


    Accompanied by a chorus of ¡°ding, ding, ding,¡± Chen Mobai felt the Longevity Spiritual Power he had stored in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror with the Returning Essence Secret Technique being crazily consumed. Although he could support it for half an hour, he was currently only showing the third layer of the Foundation Establishment, and therefore couldn¡¯t overexaggerate it.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time.¡±


    So, after estimating the time, Chen Mobai spewed out his Qingyang Sword Sha.


    The cyan and green light burst forth like a thunderbolt, shooting directly towards Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face.


    But Xiahou Weihuan had long been on guard for this move. He swung his sword to block, and the wide sword blade blocked the Qingyang Sword Sha by a hair¡¯s breadth. At the same time, the orange-red Yuan Yang Sword Sha erupted. In this instant, the two powerful but different fire attribute Sword Sha¡¯s started an all-out direct confrontation.


    Clash of Sword Sha!


    In the absence of attribute suppression, it was a competition of which Sword Sha had a higher level and contained more breadth of power.


    Although the Red Flame Sword Jue of the Divine Wood Sect was also one of the perfected and powerful Sword techniques in the hundreds of magic duels, compared with the top-notch Sword Secret of Yuan Yang, which was derived from the Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, it appeared a bit weaker.


    Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers with widened eyes, the cyan and green radiance confronted the orange-red streamer, then the Yuan Yang Sword Sha gradually went over it. It even started to gradually absorb and transform the power of the Qingyang Sword Sha.


    ¡°Ha-ha-ha, the Yuan Yang Sword Sha is the supreme in fire. How can your mere Qingyang Sword Sha compete with me!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xiahou Weihuan couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. Just as he gripped the sword with both hands, ready to increase his effort to absorb Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Qingyang Sword Sha¡± and bestow upon the annoying fellow before his eyes a thorough defeat, he saw Chen Mobai suddenly smile.


    How can you still smile at this!


    ¡°The Yuan Yang Sword Sha is stronger than the Qingyang Sword Sha. I know this better than you, and you don¡¯t need to tell me,¡± Chen Mobai said, in a tone that Xiahou Weihuan found baffling.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai made a strange movement. He dropped his right hand and unscrewed the lid of the yellow gourd bound to his waist.


    An orange-red radiance rose up, gently sweeping over Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s hands.


    Amidst the sudden appearance of blood, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s arms that held the sword, and the Wuyang Sword, had flown into the sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s left hand held two fingers like a sword, as if sword controlling, he sealed off the orange-red light that had severed his opponent¡¯s arms back into the yellow skin gourd. Then he used his right hand to put the lid back on.

    At the same time, he opened his mouth, recondensed the Qingyang Sword Sha into a Sword Pill, and swallowed it back into his belly.


    ¡°Because, I have also cultivated the Yuan Yang Sword Sha.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai said something that made Xiahou Weihuan widen his eyes in disbelief.


    Two Sword Sha!


    What kind of monster am I battling against!?

 Chapter 546 - Chapter 546: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_1

    Chapter 546: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_1


    Xiahou Weihuan reflected on the hardships he had endured to master the technique of Sword Sha.


    Although he had accomplished the task of condensing the Five Elements¡¯ vital energy with the help of many students from the Pure Yang Academy, the rest of the body forging process was still entirely up to him.


    Originally, he thought as long as he mastered the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, he would be invincible among his peers, leading the academy to victory against the other nine academies and even the Four Daoist Academies, just like his teacher, Nangong Xuanyu.


    But who would have thought that Chen Mobai, whom he had never regarded seriously, would have surpassed even Lan Haitian, mastering not only the Qingyang Sword Devil but also the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    Xiahou Weihuan, who knew full well the difficulty of cultivating Sword Sha, felt a sense of despair for the first time.


    Why do such anomalies always appear among the Four Daoist Academies?


    Lan Haitian before, and Chen Mobai now!


    Could it be that the status quo of the Four Daoist Academies is really unchangeable?


    With this profound sense of despair, Xiahou Weihuan collapsed onto the surface of the lake, lost in a trance.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou ¡­Senior¡­¡±


    Suddenly there was a burst of shouting in his ears. Xiahou Weihuan turned his head to see a few students from the Pure Yang Academy. One of them found his severed arms cut off by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, another held his Wuyang Sword, and someone else was beckoning a student from the Imperial Medical Academy to come over.


    ¡°Senior, please admit defeat,¡± the Chief of Pure Yang Academy spoke with a grieving expression. According to the rules, if Xiahou Weihuan didn¡¯t admit defeat, the medics from the Imperial Medical Academy couldn¡¯t treat him.


    If his severed arms weren¡¯t reattached quickly, it could potentially affect the flexibility of his meridians.


    ¡°Admit defeat!?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan muttered to himself. He looked up at Chen Mobai, who was still standing opposite him, finally pulling himself from his despair.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to admit defeat!¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s statement somewhat surprised Chen Mobai, who looked up.


    ¡°Oh, so you want to continue fighting? After all, we both come from Pure Yang. I won¡¯t pull any fatal moves in an exchange. If you admit defeat, we can consider this matter settled.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached again for the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist. Hands trembling, a few of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Pure Yang Academy stepped in front of Xiahou Weihuan, casting him in their shadow.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou, if your arms are not treated promptly, there could be lasting repercussions.¡±


    Two students from the Imperial Medical Academy also started offering advice. After all, everyone could see now that Xiahou Weihuan was no match for Chen Mobai. To continue the bout was nothing short of seeking his own humiliation.


    ¡°I made a promise that if I lose, I will never wield a sword again in my lifetime. These cut-off arms are perhaps Heaven¡¯s will.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan glanced at his arms that were severed by Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword evil, shook his head, and without even looking at his own Wuyang Sword, turned around and left the island in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°Senior¡­¡±


    The Chief of Pure Yang Academy immediately followed with a few others, but Xiahou Weihuan walked even faster and disappeared at the edge of the lake in a blink of an eye.


    ¡°Quite a man of character.¡±


    Atop the Repairing Heaven Institute platform, Lou Fengcheng, whose vitality was slowly returning, spoke with a hoarse voice.


    ¡°What a pity. With his arms ruined, his chances of achieving Core Formation will likely drop by half. All this anger over a mere match just doesn¡¯t seem worthwhile.¡±


    Tao Mingqing looked in the direction of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s departure, speaking with incomprehension.


    ¡°You and I have no particular attachment to winning or losing, but Xiahou Weihuan is different. His Sword Dao is permeated with a strong faith. It is precisely because of this that he was able to progress by leaps and bounds. If his faith collapses, his path in this life will also come to an end. By upholding his vow, he has retained a glimmer of hope for reaching Core Formation.¡±


    The Guidance Book was most adept at discerning opponents. During the time when Lou Fengcheng was looking for Chen Mobai¡¯s weaknesses, he also had not forgotten to watch those people on the Foundation List who ranked above him. Xiahou Weihuan, who had achieved Sword Sha, was naturally a key observation target.


    Although Lou Fengcheng was not confident of defeating Xiahou Weihuan, he had a pretty clear understanding of Xiahou¡¯s Sword Dao.


    That¡¯s why, of all the people present, he was the one who understood Xiahou Weihuan the best.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t people see through the illusion of fame?¡±


    After hearing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s explanation, Tao Mingqing was even less able to understand and shook his head in disappointment.


    If Xiahou Weihuan had spent a little more time breaking through his realm, ensuring his dominance in the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages, wouldn¡¯t it have been a better option to settle this grudge later on?


    ¡°The final match is coming up. Do you fancy Pei Qingshuang or him?¡±


    Tao Mingqing gestured towards Chen Mobai who had just landed on the Dance Tool Dao Academy platform and asked Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°If it was before, I would definitely back Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying now it¡¯s the other way around.¡±


    Seated weakly on the platform, Lou Fengcheng glanced at Chen Mobai and slowly nodded.


    ¡°The Qing Shuang Sword is a Rank-4 sword, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Tao Mingqing said incredulously.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a hunch.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°A hunch? I thought you guys at the Repairing Heaven Institute always relied on data, dismissing hunches and intuition as being illusory?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng smiled faintly, then closed his eyes and drifted back into unconsciousness.


    ¡­


    ¡°Chairman, you seem to have gone a bit overboard.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan noticed the cries from the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s side, saw Lou Fengcheng slumped over Tao Mingqing and the two students from the Imperial Medical Academy rushing over with their medical box, and couldn¡¯t help but whisper.

 Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_2

    Chapter 547: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_2


    ¡°I¡¯ve already shown mercy.¡±


    If this were in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would have already turned them into dust.


    As for here in the Immortals Gate, he was really restraining himself.


    ¡°But this time, it seems we¡¯ve made quite a big enemy with the Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Sun Daoji sighed. As a fellow Gold Core Daoist who went to experience the wonders of the sect gates, he was well aware of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s strength and accepted that he was not his opponent.


    He was originally thinking about how he could lose gracefully during this competition.


    But who would have thought that the chief of their Daoist Academy was a monster. Not any of their so-called elder brothers and sisters were needed to step in; all the opponents were already taken care of.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, our Dance Tool Dao Academy has an even greater background. Pure Yang Academy can¡¯t afford to mess with us.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.


    The Four Major Daoist Academies are transcendent within the Immortals Gate.


    More than half of the top cultivators in the Immortals Gate come from the academies. Unless Nangong Xuanyu had achieved Nascent Soul Formation, the Pure Yang Academy would not be able to have an equal conversation with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, let alone stir up any trouble.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to leave first, see you on the last day.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at Lou Fengcheng who was being carried away by Imperial Medical Academy and Repairing Heaven Institute. After confirming with his Void Spirit Eye that he had only fainted due to a lack of essence caused by the overburning of his blood by the Sword Sha, he decided not to linger here.


    ¡°Alright. Oh, by the way, President, teacher Luo says to contact him when you¡¯re free; he seems to have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have my number¡­ Oh, maybe he doesn¡¯t¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai mumbled. He realized that he had never asked for Luo Hezheng¡¯s number. Fortunately, Zhuang Jialan had saved it and forwarded it to Chen Mobai.


    [Teacher Luo, I heard that you¡¯re looking for me?]


    [Yes, there¡¯s a spirit plant that needs some Pure Yang fire spiritual power to mature. But there¡¯s no hurry. We can talk about it after your match.]


    [Alright.]


    The two quickly finished their conversation.


    Chen Mobai made a note of this in his mind and then returned to the Elixir Refining Room and told Qing Nu about it.


    ¡°Mature a spirit plant? Could it be asking you to go to the Medicine Realm to mature the Fire Lingzhi?¡±


    ¡°Medicine Realm? Where¡¯s that?¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard of Fire Lingzhi, one of the easiest spirit plants to cultivate in the Immortals Gate. They range from rank-1 to rank-4, but ordinary people could only cultivate up to rank-2. Only those major pharmaceutical factories had rank-3 and above.


    ¡°Each of the six major pharmaceutical factories has a miniature world left by a Divinity Transformation True Monarch to use as a medicinal field, which we in the Alchemy business usually refer to as the ¡®Medicine Realm¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The Medicine Realm of Jumang Daoist Academy is known as Qingyou Miniature World, and Yangping Miniature World is for the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°Spirit plants that have existed in the Immortals Gate for over a thousand years are basically planted in the six major Medicine Realms.¡±


    Chen Mobai was hearing about this for the first time and was amazed.


    No wonder there were only six big pharmacies in the Immortals Gate. It turned out they needed to have their own Medicine Realm to support and grow into a major pharmacy.


    ¡°Can each Divinity Transformation True Monarch open up a miniature world? Wouldn¡¯t there be more than six Medicine Realms considering the large number of Divinity Transformation elders throughout the history of the Immortal Gate?¡±


    ¡°I am not sure about that; maybe other miniature worlds hold even more precious things than thousand-year-old spirit medicines.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, indicating that such knowledge was beyond her scope.


    In the Immortals Gate, due to the possession of the treasure-like sect gate, research into the Power of Void was very advanced. Golden Core cultivators could have domains, Nascent Soul cultivators could condense them into territories. These territories were so vast that any of the Immortal Gate¡¯s great cave heavens could be accommodated within them.


    This is why the domains of Nascent Soul cultivators are called cave heavens.


    And for Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, it¡¯s even more incredible¡ªtheir domain cave heavens are said to be indistinguishable from a miniature world.


    ¡°Oh, and I heard from my mentor that the department head has ordered our Alchemy Department to make Enlightenment Tea. This might be the reward for the winner of this competition.¡±


    ¡°Enlightenment Tea? What¡¯s that?¡±


    Due to the assistance of Qing Nu and Wang Xingyu in alchemy for a long time, Chen Mobai was not very familiar with the final product pills and elixirs.


    He had specifically studied herbs, but only to find the equivalent ones in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Do you remember the Soul Awakening Dao Pill?¡±


    ¡°Of course I remember; it¡¯s something I will never forget in my life.¡±


    Chen Mobai would not forget that divine pill, which allowed him to overcome numerous difficulties and become a genius. To be honest, if not for the assistance of this pill in comprehending the threshold technique, he may still not have achieved Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°The Soul Awakening Dao Pill is only useful for Qi Practitioners, while the Enlightenment Tea is an upgraded version of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, as it is effective for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai, who was getting a little tired of the discussions, instantly perked up.


    ¡°How long does the effect of this Enlightenment Tea last?¡±


    ¡°Three days.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai already began to arrange the order of the cultivation techniques he needed to comprehend in his mind.


    The effects of the last Soul Awakening Dao Pill were slightly wasted, so this time he was determined to perfectly utilize the three days of sage-like time provided by the ¡°Enlightenment Tea¡±.


    The Pure Yang Scroll, Puppet Factory, content related to a Rank-3 Talisman Maker, All Laws Persona, and the road behind ¡°One Sword Gives Rise to All Laws¡±¡­


    If arranged in such a way, it might turn out that three days are not nearly enough.


    ¡°You Daoist Academy is too stingy, can¡¯t you provide more of this Enlightenment Tea?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu roll her eyes and she began to explain to him how precious the raw materials used to make Enlightenment Tea are.


    ¡°It requires the leaves of the Big Tree to be stir-fried using a special method, then cold brewed using Return to Spring Dew, and goes through forty-nine procedures. Numerous alchemists have to consistently supervise it day and night to brew a pot of Enlightenment Tea.¡±


    ¡°A pot? For just three days?¡±


    ¡°Your three days will definitely be a sip of tea, do you really think they¡¯ll give you a pot of Enlightenment Tea? If you drink this for a long time, it can even permanently improve your insight. It¡¯s generally exclusively for the three major Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, and any extras are reserved by other superior individuals.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai realized that Enlightenment Tea of this level could only be generally drunk by Nascent Soul individuals.


    As for cultivators at Foundation Establishment getting to drink Enlightenment Tea, either they have a profound background or¡­ they have a profound background.


    ¡°It is said that when Senior Sister Wenren drank three sips of Enlightenment Tea, she comprehended the mystery of Lasting Spring Cultivation and successfully practiced this grand Divinity Transformation technique. The reason Pei Qingshuang could communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword is also because of the Enlightenment Tea.¡±


    When Qing Nu said these words, her tone was slightly longing.


    This is considered one of the most against-the-heaven medicines in the Jumang Daoist Academy, and its annual output is limited. After the Nascent Soul individuals of the Immortal Gate have taken their share, basically there is none left.


    ¡°Are there any special precautions to be taken when drinking Enlightenment Tea?¡±


    Chen Mobai had already claimed this reward to be his.


    ¡°Just find a quiet place where you won¡¯t be disturbed to consume it. Enlightenment Tea also has the effect of enhancing Divine Sense, so be careful not to waste the medicinal effect.¡±


    When Qing Nu first received the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, she also researched Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°By the way, other than Enlightenment Tea, are there any other rewards?¡±


    ¡°The second prize seems to be a Dalit Flower; the third prize is a pot of Return to Spring Dew.¡±


    Chen Mobai was still unsure about the effects of these two rewards, so he continued to ask Qing Nu.


    The Dalit Flower, when refined into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, can stabilize the mind spirit. It can effectively fend off attacks like Divine Sense backlash and also suppress Heart Demons, etc.


    ¡°This is also a good thing.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire after hearing this.


    Return to Spring Dew is a type of Spiritual Water that enhances Divine Sense.


    The effect is similar to Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, but it is much more focused. Apart from late stage Foundation Establishment practitioners, even early-stage Gold Core cultivators can benefit from it.


    He wanted all of them.


    With such feelings, Chen Mobai spent two days in the Elixir Refining Room.


    When he arrived at the island in the lake, Pei Qingshuang still hadn¡¯t arrived.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He planned to finish the fight as quickly as possible.


    However, as it was still early morning, he could only wait.


    To his surprise, almost evening had arrived, and Pei Qingshuang still hadn¡¯t shown up.


    Without Chen Mobai having to express anything, other True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who had also been waiting all day, already started to discuss among themselves.


    ¡°Today is the last day, could it be that Senior Sister Pei still hasn¡¯t awakened the Qing Shuang Sword?¡±

 Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: Chapter 367: The Last One_1

    Chapter 548: Chapter 367: The Last One_1


    On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi looked concerned and asked Wenren Xuewei beside him.


    ¡°No, I just wanted to form a positive connection.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s puzzling statement was left unanswered by Zong Zi. If it was not for other reasons that they couldn¡¯t arrive, then it was not a concern for them as the organizers.


    ¡°President, the time is almost up.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words in his ear, Chen Mobai took out his phone to check the time.


    It was four fifty in the afternoon.


    The discussion was set from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, and there was only ten minutes left for the final day.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, he did not believe that Pei Qingshuang was avoiding the battle, but why was she not coming?


    However, now was not the time to think about these things. Since he was here today, he had to do something. Without Pei Qingshuang, he could directly challenge the previously overlooked chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Elder Zong, I wonder if you could come down for some guidance?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still concerned about the achievement of suppressing the chief students of the three main Daoist academies. Seeing no sign of Pei Qingshuang, he simply challenged Zong Zi directly.


    ¡°I am not a match, consider this my loss.¡±


    Zong Zi did not care about his reputation. After accepting Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation, he simply admitted defeat, perfectly completing Chen Mobai¡¯s series of offline discussions in the Daoist Academy.


    The time soon came to the last minute.


    But Pei Qingshuang still did not appear.


    ¡°This competition officially ends here. The first place in the group category goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    When the five o¡¯clock bell rang, Zong Zi, as the host, stood up and announced the ranking scores.


    With Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun, all at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, Dance Tool Dao Academy would be doing something horribly wrong if they didn¡¯t secure the first place.


    Except for the group first, the individual first place, which carries the most weight and acknowledgment in the door of the immortals, still goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°The individual first place will receive a cup of Enlightenment Tea provided by my Jumang Daoist Academy. Chen, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, I will come to pick you up for your reward tomorrow.¡±


    When Zong Zi¡¯s voice fell, everyone was discussing with envy in their voices.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Magic Duel capabilities were indeed unparalleled, and everyone agreed that giving the Enlightenment Tea to him was a fair move.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s Enlightenment Tea, I didn¡¯t expect that Jumang Daoist Academy could offer such a great thing this time.¡±


    Bian Jingchun showed a longing look upon hearing about the reward.


    Even a Gold Core Real Person would covet this. There were still many places in her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture where minor modifications were needed to make it more suitable for her Spiritual Root and constitution. If Enlightenment Tea could assist her, it would save her at least a decade.


    At this moment, Zong Zi also announced two other awards, the Dalit Flower and Return to Spring Dew, which also fueled envy.


    The Dalit Flower was originally for Pei Qingshuang but because she didn¡¯t come today and her discussions were less than ten, she lost her eligibility, and the item was given to Wenren Xuewei who came in second.


    The third place goes to Qi Huanzhi of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    Among the top ten in the Foundation List, Xiahou Weihuan and Lou Fengcheng stopped participating in the discourse after losing to Chen Mobai, like Pei Qingshuang, and they automatically gave up the reward.


    However, Jumang Daoist Academy also prepared another consolation prize for the remaining real cultivators in the top ten.


    Everyone received a Rank-2 Wood Spiritual Talisman.


    This Wood Spiritual Talisman, once worn, can work continuously, adding 5 points to the user¡¯s Wood Spirit Root.


    ¡°The effect of the talisman can be maintained for approximately thirty years.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, examined the Wood Spiritual Talisman in Bian Jingchun¡¯s hand and gave her verdict.


    ¡°That¡¯s still pretty good.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered casually, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Wenren Xuewei. A Rank-5 talisman might let the cultivator possess a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang is here!¡±


    Just as everyone was about to leave, a tall and slender figure slowly walked over. With sharp eyebrows and a vigorous pace, it was Pei Qingshuang.


    Seeing her approaching, everyone gasped with surprise.


    Why does she arrive only after it¡¯s over?


    While people were discussing, Pei Qingshuang landed on the surface of the lake, stepped into a circular ring, and then unlocked her Qing Shuang Sword from her waist.


    Her hand loosened the grip on her sword, and the sword miraculously stood erect in the air.


    ¡°I apologize; the time it took to lift the seal exceeded my expectations.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was dressed in a dark green military uniform. The tight, deep green pants matched the knee-high black boots, accentuating her round and long legs.


    ¡°Pei, the time is already up.¡±


    On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi had to remind her politely. As the host, he needed to make sure everything followed the rules.


    ¡°I know; since I didn¡¯t catch up with the time, let¡¯s consider that I lost the discussion.¡±


    Many people silently agreed with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s statement. In the immortal door, everyone respects the rules.


    ¡°Now, I want to challenge Chen, the Chairman of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, in my personal capacity.¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang suddenly made a statement that shocked everyone.


    Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    They all believed that with his confidence and pride after winning the Magic Duel, he would surely accept this challenge.


    So, they could still witness the peak duel today.


    ¡°I decline.¡±


    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Chen Mobai flatly refused.


    ¡°Why?¡±

 Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 367: The Last Game_2

    Chapter 549: Chapter 367: The Last Game_2


    Pei Qingshuang evidently had not expected this, his eyes widening in shock as his long legs pushed off, swiftly taking him onto the platform of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner, Qing Nu is waiting for me to feed her, I¡¯m afraid she might be hungry.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s casual words left Pei Qingshuang speechless.


    ¡°If you want to fight, wait until I had my dinner.¡±


    ¡°What time?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see, you just wait.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai, ignoring the gaping mouths and admiring looks of the crowd, calmly descended from the platform and left the island in the lake.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, grab a quick bite and hurry back, we can¡¯t miss this duel.¡±


    ¡°Who needs food, us True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment, can go on without food for days, I¡¯ll just wait right here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but I didn¡¯t expect Battle Law Victory to still be enslaved by such earthly desire.¡±


    ¡°What do you know, didn¡¯t you hear him? The key point is someone¡¯s waiting for him to eat.¡±


    ¡°Who is this Qing Nu he was referring to?¡±


    ¡°I happen to have heard about her, gleaned while understanding Battle Law Victory¡¯s past. She¡¯s a Heavenly Spiritual Root of Jumang Daoist Academy¡­¡±


    Before long, the remaining hundreds of True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment stage began to gossip.


    Upon hearing that Chen Mobai and Qing Nu have been in a relationship since high school, they couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, indeed, geniuses do attract each other.


    Of course, many of them also noticed Pei Qingshuang, this genius swordsman from Mountain Sea Academy, with his head lowered, his fists clenching and loosening, only to helplessly watch Chen Mobai leave in the end.


    However, he immediately descended to the lake surface, standing in the center of the circular ring.


    The Qing Shuang Sword floated with him, hanging in the air.


    ¡­


    In the Elixir Refining Room.


    Chen Mobai and Qing Nu were dining on a delicate meal of three dishes and a soup when they suddenly noticed an uninvited guest arriving outside the door.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect it to be Senior Wenren, would you like to join us?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he pointed to the empty seat.


    ¡°No more chopsticks.¡±


    Qing Nu chimed in.


    ¡°Thanks for the invite, I just wanted to explain why Cui was late today.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is there a story behind this, didn¡¯t Pei Senior say it? The unsealing of the sword took longer than expected.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei shook her head gently, then, under Qing Nu¡¯s gaze, she sat down and began her narration.


    ¡°Actually, she had partially unsealed the power of the Qing Shuang Sword last night. The reason she intentionally arrived late today is because she heard my advice and wanted to create a good relationship with you, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°Good relationship?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked confused, still not understanding.


    ¡°Your battle with her is unpredictable, but the Enlightenment Tea has the best effect on those who have never drunk it. If she¡¯s late, the first-place reward is certainly yours.¡±


    Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood her intention.


    ¡°My reward, she doesn¡¯t need to give it up!¡±


    Chen Mobai put down his bowl and chopsticks, speaking with a calm expression.


    Upon hearing this, Wenren Xuewei was slightly taken aback, but then she smiled wryly, shaking her head, and explained.


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea is more beneficial for you than her. You are Qualification of Deification, and the Immortal Gate is already preparing to open a new realm. Given your talent in magic duels, you¡¯re very likely to make a huge leap forward during this war of realm opening. Our request today indeed has selfish motives, hoping it could bring us bigger returns in the future.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was finally somewhat surprised and taken aback.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to hold such high expectations for me.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai often dreams of becoming the Lord of the Immortal Gate, and Ascend to become Immortals, he has a very clear self-awareness. He knows that just to reach Core Formation will require all of his accumulated resources and power from both realms. Nascent Soul formation is too far-fetched even to think about.


    Unexpectedly, Wenren Xuewei and the others seemed certain about his future success, and wanted to place their bets on him ahead of time.


    ¡°Well, I should get going.¡±


    After Wenren Xuewei finished speaking, she got up and left.


    Before she turned around, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qing Nu, who was quietly eating her meal.


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    When there were only two of them, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu. She blinked and then chewed and swallowed the Spirit Rice in her mouth before finally speaking.


    ¡°It¡¯s always better to assume good intentions than bad ones. When cultivating in the vast system of the Immortal Sect, unless you¡¯re a Divinity Transformation elder, everyone needs to build connections to make their cultivation smoother.¡±


    ¡°Makes sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded approvingly, indicating that their thoughts were in high agreement.


    Anyway, he had already secured his Enlightenment Tea, no matter how you looked at it.


    Originally, he didn¡¯t want to fight with Pei Qingshuang since there was no benefit, and there was a chance he could get hurt.


    But since Wenren Xuewei had taken the trouble to explain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t exactly stand her up.


    Well, he might as well get a little exercise.


    ¡°Be careful, Pei Qingshuang is no ordinary cultivator.¡±


    After finishing eating and clearing away her bowls and chopsticks, as Chen Mobai was getting ready to leave, Qing Nu spoke up, reminding him.


    ¡°I know, anyone who can make Lan Haitian wary is bound to be strong.¡±


    ¡°No, I mean she¡¯s no ordinary person. Her mother is Tao Hua.¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled by these words.


    No wonder she had a Rank-4 Qing Shuang Sword and could drink Enlightenment Tea, she was a descendant of a Nascent Soul!


    With a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai slowly made his way to the island in the lake.


    He immediately saw Pei Qingshuang standing on the lake surface with her sword suspended in midair, causing him to gather all his distracting thoughts and land in the round arena.


    ¡°The sword¡¯s name is Qing Shuang, inherited from the Sword Tower of the Shanhai Xue Palace, a top grade of Rank-4.¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai, Pei Qingshuang started the sword ceremony according to the rules of a sword cultivator.


    She reached out to hold the hilt of the Qing Shuang Sword suspended in the air. Then, a grand and majestic Sword Intent burst out, like a divine sword rushing into the sky, cutting open the lake surface under her feet and revealing the twisted tree roots and sludge at the bottom of the lake.


    Facing a Rank-4 Flying Sword, Chen Mobai drew his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, as usual.


    Although there was a huge gap between Rank-2 and Rank-4, he was already about to unsheathe his sword.


    However, it seemed that Pei Qingshuang was unable to fully control the power of the Qing Shuang Sword. In a short while, her cheeks began to turn red. The Sword Intent emanating from her body seemed to have reached a pinnacle, and she soon let go of the sword hilt, promptly retracting the majestic Sword Intent. She became as ordinary as a sword in a scabbard.


    ¡°My cultivation level is limited. I can only absorb four strands of the Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s Sword Qi. If you can block four attacks, I admit defeat.¡±


    Above the lake, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s body floated. Her skin was as cold and white as ice, and a bone-chilling Sword Intent began to spread with her words, like a cold wave attacking in the middle of the night. No matter how thick your clothes were, they couldn¡¯t stop the chill that numbed your bones.


    ¡°This is the first one, Frost White!¡±


    As the onlookers began to shudder in the cold, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s right hand, as white as jade, opened, and a stream of pure white coldness condensed into a white Qi Sword in her palm.


    The Qi Sword hovered in the air, and wherever it passed, the entire lake surface began to freeze, and it even started to spread around.


    In an instant, snowflakes began to float in the sky.


    This sword could actually influence the weather!


    Chen Mobai keenly sensed that this was Sword Qi, but its strength was not inferior to his own Sword Sha.


    Opening his mouth, he spat out a Sword Pill, which had already absorbed ten drops of Liquid Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea. When the Sword Pill was spit out, it exploded immediately, and the green light transformed into a small, golden sun and shot out to meet Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Qing Shuang Sword Qi.


    Although the Sword Sha was two ranks higher than the Sword Qi, Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha surprisingly found itself on the back foot in the clash of the two forces.


    The light in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flickered as he activated the Sun Raising Technique to increase the temperature of his Sword Sha again.

    Then he held his hands in the air, and bright green sparks burst from his fingers, which quickly condensed into a thunder ball the size of a skull and suddenly bombarded Pei Qingshuang¡¯s unstoppable white Qi Sword.


    In the rumbling noise,


    The eruption of three Rank-3 powers half froze and half evaporated the arena in an instant.


    In the midst of this miracle, the light in Pei Qingshuang¡¯s eyes became even colder. She seemed to transform into an emotionless divine sword, flying high with the Qing Shuang Sword. The chilling Qi in her left hand began to condense again, but this time it turned into a pitch-black Sword Qi.


    ¡°Dark Frost!¡±

 Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 368: Im Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_1

    Chapter 550: Chapter 368: I¡¯m Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_1


    A pure black sword aura descended from the sky, like a scene of night, obscuring all light. With a terrifying chill that could freeze divine senses, it dropped onto Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    An ancient bronze mirror flew out, and the shiny mirror surface lit up with a golden divine light, which instantly turned into a spherical light shield, enveloping Chen Mobai.


    This was the defensive magic technique that came with the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    The Frost¡¯s Dark Slash hit the top of the Divine Light Shield, triggering a horrifying spiritual power fluctuation that made one tremble instantly.


    In front of everyone at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, whose faces changed, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield was pierced by pure black sword aura, slowly caving in, seemingly on the brink of splitting apart.


    But the power of defensive magic weapons resides in their resilience. As long as the strength has not exceeded its limit, it can endure under the continuous supply of spiritual power.


    Despite the continuous crumpling under the relentless onslaught of the pure black sword aura, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield persisted after Chen Mobai lifted the restrictions and allowed it to consume the 130 drops of liquid longevity spiritual power stored within it.


    Having been sufficiently supplied with spiritual power, the previously concave light shield became smooth and round again, even rebounding the pure black sword aura back.


    After absorbing the sword aura into her body, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s state became strikingly similar to that of the Guidance Book. However, where Lou Fengcheng was extremely calm, she seemed to embody the sword, with a heart as cold as frost, the person led by the sword.


    Upon seeing her Frost¡¯s Dark Slash being stopped by the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, Pei Qingshuang clenched the left hand that controlled the sword aura.


    Chen Mobai felt that the pitch-black sword light in front of him disintegrated in an instant, like the night curtain being torn apart, and also like a pitch-black icy current pouring and covering downwards along the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield.


    instinctively feeling bad, Chen Mobai retreated quickly and issued an order to the artifact. Before the pitch-black icy flow covered the entire Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, he slipped out from behind the protected area of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    By the time he landed on the lake surface, a gigantic black sphere that had been sealed fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the half-frozen lake surface, causing cracks to form in the ice with the black sphere at the center.


    Chen Mobai wanted to control his life-bound magic artifact, but found that there was no response at all. The black sword aura enveloped the entire mirror, forming a perfect seal, cutting off his divine senses and perception.


    [Frost¡¯s White is the power of freeze, targeting Sword Sha; Frost¡¯s Dark primarily focuses on sealing one¡¯s consciousness, therefore it was meant to counter my Divine Slash, perhaps?]


    After the two moves, Chen Mobai instinctively started thinking continuously within the fight. Meanwhile, he had already uncapped the yellow gourd on his waist. The orange glamor, like a rising mist, went with the terrifying power which could reduce everything into ashes, towards Pei Qingshuang floating in mid-air.


    But facing the attack of Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Pei Qingshuang actually stood erect in mid-air, unmoving.


    Just when Chen Mobai widened his eyes and wanted to redirect the attack direction of Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the ancient sword tool floating beside Pei Qingshuang seemed to sense the danger of the sword master, and actually unsheathed automatically.


    With a clanging sound!


    The blade was hardly half unsheathed, and the invisible sword light flickered, but the Primordial Yang Sword Evil that Chen Mobai rushed in front of Pei Qingshuang was severed into two beams of glamor at this moment.


    Chen Mobai was gripped by a searing pain in his forehead, feeling his divine senses attached to the Primordial Yang Sword Evil suffering severe damage.


    The severed orange glamor disintegrated into Fire Yang Evil all over the sky.


    Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s bare body slashed, and it directly obliterated Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword Evil, even demolished the divine senses, and returned to its origin.


    [Although she can¡¯t control the Qing Shuang Sword, the sword tool will decimate any force that threatens her. I need to avoid the Qing Shuang Sword.]


    Chen Mobai endured the pain in his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but under this situation, he entered into a mysterious combat state. The details of this battle flashed in his mind, and he began to ponder his path to victory.


    ¡°Frost Green!¡±


    At this time, Pei Qingshuang had taken advantage of the momentum to chase, slashing out her third sword aura!


    This sword aura was pure green, but it carried a terrifying sharpness that made Chen Mobai¡¯s divine senses shudder.


    He had a feeling that if he were hit by this sword, his physical body would lose all sensation.


    A spirit talisman shaped like a leaf flew out. Under the infusion of Chen Mobai¡¯s extremely pure longevity spiritual power, it turned into a verdant leaf, blocking the pure sword aura that Pei Qingshuang had swung out with both hands.


    This was the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman refined by the ancestor Zhou of the Divine Wood Sect.


    This talisman was claimed to be able to block all attacks below the Gold Core, but Pei Qingshang¡¯s sword aura was undeniably Rank-3, so it only blocked for three breaths before it disintegrated into Wood spiritual power.

    But by making use of this time, Chen Mobai had already lifted the seal of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    A strand of pure white flame broke through the seal of Frost¡¯s Dark, like a chain reaction, instantly shattering the whole black sphere.


    Before fleeing from the seal, Chen Mobai launched the attack spell of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, Pure Yang Fire.


    If it were any other time, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror would naturally be unable to break through Frost¡¯s Dark. However, this mirror contained Chen Mobai¡¯s extensive longevity spiritual power stored for the purpose of concealing his level of cultivation.


    When he lifted the divine sense barrier, allowing the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to absorb and devour freely, coupled with the external binding of Frost¡¯s Dark, the power of the Pure Yang Fire exploded to its extreme.

 Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 368: Im Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_2

    Chapter 551: Chapter 368: I¡¯m Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_2


    Even if he got a Gold Core cultivator to wield it, the power would probably be the same.


    After breaking through the Dark Frost, the pure white flames hadn¡¯t entirely burned out yet. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense control, they transformed into a long flame serpent. With the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror at its core, it came alive, seemingly opening its giant jaws, dashing across the gap, and intercepting Pei Qingshuang¡¯s pure Sword Qi before swallowing it.


    However, as the third Sword Qi, the power of the Frost Green was even stronger than the previous two combined.


    The flame serpent conjured by the Fire Snake Technique started to disintegrate inch by inch from the head after absorbing the pure Sword Qi, scattered into sparkles, flames, and hot sparks all sprinkling in mid-air.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that this was definitely not the moment to retreat.


    He soared into the air, his right hand pressed on the back of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, injecting all of the remaining 35 drops of liquid Longevity Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea into this life Magic Artifact. Plus the unburned 50 drops inside, the vast and pure Longevity Spiritual Power served as fuel, making the Pure Yang Fire even more vigorous.


    The ancient bronze mirror seemed to be doused in oil, bursting into fierce flames instantly, like a spark streaking through the sky, staunchly resisting the descending pure Sword Qi.


    Among the thumping sounds, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror gradually descended under the pressure of the Sword Qi, the flame snake also broke inch by inch into fire stars scattered into nothingness. Chen Mobai¡¯s body also continuously fell.


    Still, at his relentless expenditure of spiritual power, the power of this Rank-3 Magic Artifact was brought to its utmost limit. Until only the last 16 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power were left burning, it finally stopped the pure Sword Light from falling further.


    Accompanied by the dissipation of the clear brilliance, Chen Mobai had already sunk into the muddy ground on the island in the lake. His right hand, which was pressing on the surface of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, had already started to burn through his sleeve.


    This Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe of rank-2 could not withstand the Pure Yang Fire of this temperature.


    Chen Mobai retracted the fully-stretched Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, then lifted his head to gaze at the mid-air.


    The fourth Sword Qi, which was also the last one, was already being formed in the pale-faced Pei Qingshuang¡¯s palm.


    ¡°Frost Purple!¡±


    Bang!


    Even without this sword strike, thunder was already rumbling in the overcast sky.


    However, compared to the other thunder explosions, the thunder now emerging was exuding a chilling aura.


    Considering the title of Purple Lightning Qingshuang, Chen Mobai guessed that this should be Ice Thunder.


    The purple Sword Qi fell from Pei Qingshuang¡¯s palm, moving very slowly, but it made every spectator feel oppressed. It seemed as if this one stroke had locked all of them, and no one could escape it.


    Chen Mobai felt he had been targeted by the Sword Qi the moment the ¡°Frost Purple¡± executed, no matter where he escaped to, even to the Ends of the Earth, this stroke would chase him and strike him down.


    Rumble, rumble!


    The purple Sword Qi had not yet arrived, but the thunder that rumbled across the sky had already taken the lead. The Ice Thunder triggered by the Sword Qi had turned into a huge ice-ball, which was three or four times bigger in diameter than the Thunder Ball previously formed by Chen Mobai.


    Before dealing with the fourth Sword Qi, he must first deal with this Ice Thunder.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes glimmered with clear radiance, seeing through the power composition of this Ice Thunder at this instant.


    It was indeed a Rank 3 Thunder method, but this Ice Thunder was a naturally formed phenomenon of energy manipulated by Sword Qi, so Pei Qingshuang could only roughly control it.


    With a swish!


    Chen Mobai tore off the right sleeve of his robe, which was still aflame, with his left hand. His right hand, covered with burns from the flames, clenched, and sparkling green lightning condensed in a blink of an eye.


    However, compared to the previous explosive lightning, this time it was as gentle as water.


    Lightning transformed into a long spike in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm and pierced directly into the falling Ice Thunder, just like a lightning rod.


    These two disproportionate Thunder methods caused a shocking change in the eyes of all the spectators who couldn¡¯t believe it.


    The Frost Green Ice Thunder instantaneously disintegrated into countless small ice balls across the sky, while the Yi Wood Divine Thunder struck like a bamboo shoot, rising straight into the sky, directly hitting the slowly falling purple Sword Light.


    But compared with Ice Thunder, the power of the fourth Sword Light from Pei Qingshuang was stronger than the previous three combined.


    The Yi Wood Divine Thunder was pressed back inch by inch until it finally collapsed completely.


    Is it over!?


    This thought flashed through the minds of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators at Daoist Academy who were watching this.


    Regret appeared on some people¡¯s faces.


    Could it be that the undefeated Battle Law Victory was going to be defeated after all!?


    But if his opponent were the Qing Shuang Sword, to withstand the fourth Sword Qi before being defeated with his mere Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level was already a quite remarkable achievement.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought, that following my mastery of the Observing Stars Technique, my first mistake would occur with him.¡±


    Atop the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply as he observed the scene in front of him.


    Chen Mobai was his chosen number one on the Foundation List, but surprisingly, he had lost to number two.


    He couldn¡¯t blame himself, though, considering he dared not look at the Qing Shuang Sword, only considering Pei Qingshuang¡¯s strength multiplied by a factor¡ª only to find he¡¯d still underestimated it.


    Ding Chundzhi had estimated that Pei Qingshuang could at most strike two and a half times with the sword!


    ¡°It¡¯s not over yet.¡±


    Just then, the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion spoke four words that surprised Ding Chundzhi.


    It¡¯s not over!?


    Could it be that Chen Mobai would rather die under the Qing Shuang Sword Qi than admit defeat?


    Boom!


    Just at that moment, a startling Green Flames Sword Slaughter lit up in front of Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eyes, and he quickly turned to look across.


    Chen Mobai had once again invoked the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, seemingly exhausting all his spiritual power. The cyan radiance was even more bright and dazzling than the first time he¡¯d used it, the light increasing explosively by thirty percent.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless. The Primordial Yang Sword Evil was extinguished. This green sword slaughter, however¡­¡±


    Just as Ding Chundzhi was shaking his head and sighing, he realized something was amiss. His eyes widened as he carefully observed the swelling sword slaughter in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Young brother, risking a permanent Sword Sha for the sake of victory in a friendly match isn¡¯t worth it!¡±


    On the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun, who had been devastated by this move, widened his eyes. He called out to Chen Mobai, trying to get him to stop using the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique.¡±


    ¡°The glory of the academy is in this sword; let me be the one to recast it!¡±


    That¡¯s all Chen Mobai said.


    Then, he lightly pushed the Qingyi Sword Sha, which had reached its peak in front of him, towards the purple sword light falling down.


    The moment the two forces met, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter was thoroughly ignited!


    The desperate magic of the Pure Yang Scroll is not simply cumulative, but multiplicative!


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Wen Renxuewei also sensed something was wrong at this point, so she immediately connected with the divine tree beneath her at the cost of her own source.


    An overwhelming force, as vast as the earth, surged out, forming fourteen huge light shields around all the True Cultivators of the Daoist Academy.


    Boom Boom!


    At this moment, the entire center island of the lake had boiled to the point where only a purple-green color remained in the sky.


    In the face of the terrifying heat, the purple sword light was slowly dissolved, and in front of Chen Mobai, it shattered completely.


    The aftermath of the sword light and sword slaughter spread out, and the water of the entire island evaporated, but a deep chill condensed the water vapor into snowflakes.


    On that day, it snowed on Wood God Island.


    The students of Jumang Dao Academy, who had never seen this kind of weather, were thrilled and started a joyful snowball fight.


    Qing Nu, in the Elixir Refining Room, watched the falling snow outside the window with a grave look.


    ¡­.


    With a thud, Pei Qingshuang fell. If not for the Qing Shuang Sword supporting her, she might have fallen into the muddy bottom of the lake.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I lost.¡±


    She said, panting for breath.


    ¡°But isn¡¯t this expected?¡±


    Chen Mobai said this, then collected the extinguished Fire Yang Evil into the yellow skin gourd on his waist, before turning around and leaving the dried-up island in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°However, you are the first opponent I had to go all out against. This friendly match, I¡¯m very satisfied.¡±

 Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: Chapter 369: Secluded Small World_1

    Chapter 552: Chapter 369: Secluded Small World_1


    It was only after Chen Mobai left that everyone came to their senses.


    Did Pei Qingshuang actually lose!?


    That was the Qing Shuang Sword, one of the top-notch Flying Swords in the Immortal Sect.


    However, it was this spar that revealed to them just how formidable a full-force magic duel victory could be.


    Rank-3 Thunder method, Rank-3 Magic Artifact, and two Sword Shas!


    Apart from the difference in realms, this was basically the configuration of a Gold Core expert.


    Even if Lan Haitian was here, he might not necessarily be a match.


    Looking at the departing figure of Chen Mobai, Wen Renshuwei had this thought in her mind.


    [However, Cui Er has caused him to lose a Sword Sha. This needs to be remedied.]


    Regardless of the commotion from the Daoist Academy students after the spar, Chen Mobai routinely returned to the Elixir Refining Room after his fight.


    ¡°Did you win?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Qing Women was waiting at the door. The ointment refining had reached the latter stage and she no longer needed to constantly control the temperature of the spiritual fire.


    ¡°Of course, have you ever seen me lose?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Qing Women, whose face was slightly worried, and spoke with a light smile filled with confidence.


    ¡°That was the Qing Shuang Sword!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Women looked shocked. Although she knew that Chen Mobai was talented in magic duels, she still found it hard to believe that he had defeated Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°It¡¯s merely a Rank-4 sword. In fact, our Daoist Academy also has a Rank-4 Magic Artifact. However, with me here, there¡¯s no need to use this last resort.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke nonchalantly but he soon remembered something.


    ¡°Strange, the fact that the true cultivators in our Daoist Academy can wield Rank-4 Magic Artifacts is because of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, why can Pei Qingshuang wield a Rank-4 sword? Could it be that Shanhai Academy has a similar sword cultivation technique to ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Qing Women shook her head slightly. Chen Mobai, unable to figure it out, dismissed the thought. After all, the Immortal Sect is filled with countless magical arts and techniques.


    Moreover, considering Pei Qingshuang¡¯s status as a Nascent Soul descendant with deep backing, possessing a Rank-4 sword is normal.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to drink the Enlightenment Tea tomorrow. I can¡¯t wait.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had experienced the magic of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, had been eagerly anticipating the Enlightenment Tea, which was even more incredible, ever since he first heard about it.


    The next day.


    By the time Zong Zi came looking for him, Chen Mobai, who had waited all night, had become calm.


    ¡°Junior sister, I¡¯ll take Chen Mobai with me first.¡±


    Zong Zi seemed to have a good relationship with Qing Women and informed her before taking Chen Mobai away.


    The two of them traveled across Wood God Island and surprisingly ended up leaving Jumang Daoist Academy for a place above Wan Shui Lake.


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea is in the tranquil secret realm. Your academy¡¯s Teacher Luo is also there.¡±


    As he spoke, Zong Zi took out a wooden token. With a gentle wave, it created a serene green halo, gradually revealing a circular portal large enough for someone to pass through.


    Chen Mobai curiously observed the different sights on either side of the portal.


    The outside of the portal was the vast Wan Shui Lake, while inside the portal was a pastoral green land. Rows of spirit-filled herbs grew, appearing like ripe grains during the harvest season. A gust of wind brought along an intoxicating fragrance of herbs.


    Zong Zi stepped in first, followed by Chen Mobai. The portal then gradually shrank until it disappeared.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression had changed slightly.


    ¡°Chief Chen, this way please!¡±


    Zong Zi was already calling out to him from up ahead. Chen Mobai nodded, suppressed his inner turmoil, and followed him to their destination.


    [Detecting that the host has crossed world barriers, do you need to anchor this new world for future teleportation?]


    Turtle Treasure, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly displayed a new notification.


    This reminded him of his departure from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which had been similar.


    [In other words, Turtle Treasure can differentiate between worlds. This tranquil realm of the Jumang Daoist Academy triggered its reaction.]


    Chen Mobai thought to himself and, after thinking for a while, he dismissed Turtle Treasure¡¯s attempt to anchor this place.


    The Daoist sects here aren¡¯t as backward as the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although Turtle Treasure appeared to be a very powerful Legal Treasure, this tranquil realm of the Jumang Daoist Academy had been managed and passed down for thousands of years. Surely they must be aware of every inch of this place. If anchoring it triggered a hidden prohibition, his secret could be exposed.


    Chen Mobai knew that the Four Daoist Academies had the foundation of the Transformation God Level.


    Before he had grown up, it would be better not to expose the existence of the Turtle Treasure.


    Once he was clear about what to do, Chen Mobai ignored Turtle Treasure and calmly followed Zong Zi through the acres of medicine fields.


    As one of the Six Medicine Realms in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai finally got to witness the profound foundation of the Four Daoist Academies in this tranquil realm.


    He actually saw Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, thousands of them in a large stretch of medicine fields, with hundreds of them ripe and ready for harvest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Among the Six Medicine Realms, our tranquil realm has the best spiritual energy conditions for the growth of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, so most of them are grown here. When Five Elements Gold Core pills or Liquid Gold Jade are needed for Alchemy, they are picked by the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai in a daze in front of an acre of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, Zong Zi stopped and voluntarily explained as if he were a tour guide.


    ¡°Are herbs used from our own Daoist Academy drug realm also subject to the permission of the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously.


    ¡°Not just this tranquil realm, all the herbs grown in the Six Medicine Realms are registered with the Immortal Medicine Supervision Bureau. Each one can only be picked with the approval of this department.¡±

 Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: Chapter 369: Serene Small World_2

    Chapter 553: Chapter 369: Serene Small World_2


    ¡°Of course, the medicinal herbs planted in this tranquil minor world nominally belong to our Jumang Daoist Academy. But, if we want to refine a batch of rank-3 or above elixirs, we first need to submit an alchemy application to the Drug Bureau, along with a list of required herbs.¡±


    ¡°Once the Drug Bureau approves and stamps our application, we can then pick the medicinal herbs according to the list provided in their reply.¡±


    ¡°Normally, we report a slightly higher number of herbs than needed in our application. If you have connections, they¡¯ll simply approve without checking. However, the applications from herb shops and non-academy alchemists would undergo a more meticulous review, and they make sure to eliminate any potential ¡®padding¡¯ in the listed herbs.¡±


    ¡°So, as long as our alchemy process succeeds, we can always refine a few surplus herbs per furnace batch. Over time, these surpluses accumulate, and some elixirs that are not on the record can enter circulation.¡±


    As the chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy and a rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, Zong Zi frequently visits this tranquil minor world to improve his spirit plant technique, making him very familiar with the ins and outs here.¡±


    Of course, if it were someone else today, he certainly wouldn¡¯t say these things.


    But Chen Mobai is the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Like him, he is an orthodox lineage of the academies, and with his talent, he might even steer a sect in the future, so Zong Zi provided a more detailed explanation.¡±


    ¡°I see, thank you for the explanation, Chief Zong.¡±


    Chen Mobai enlightened after listening.


    Indeed, even within the immortal sects, not everything can be perfectly controlled.


    But that¡¯s normal. If there wasn¡¯t some wiggle room, this world would probably have perished a long time ago.


    ¡°There is one more thing, when we sow new medicinal herbs, although the Drug Bureau will send someone to count the quantity on the spot, after we finish registering and completing all formalities, we can sow more. They generally turn a blind eye.¡±


    Zong Zi revealed another fine detail, pointing to the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, indicating that only 95% of the quantity here is officially registered with the Drug Bureau.¡±


    So this implies that they can control and use the excess 5% that matures freely.


    ¡°However, you shouldn¡¯t be too outrageous. The Drug Bureau checks the types and quantities of medicinal herbs grown in each major medicinal field from time to time. If the discrepancy is too big, even our stronghold amongst the four great academies can¡¯t cover it. After all, each medicinal herb requires spiritual energy and other resources to be cultivated, and all these belong to the immortal sect.¡±


    Everyone ensures a certain manoeuvring space within a certain range without crossing the red line.


    Chen Mobai remembered a saying from his grandfather when he was a child. He understood it only superficially then, but now, combining it with the real case of this tranquil minor world, he finally understood.


    So, could this unwritten rule be used in the talisman industry?


    Chen Mobai thought about the abundant resources in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and Tianhe Realm. If he could open up relevant channels, could he slowly convert the resources from different worlds into legal and regulated products on this side of the immortal sect?


    Just as he was pondering over this, Zong Zi introduced him to the various facilities in the tranquil minor world¡¯s herbal field.


    ¡°This is a constant temperature and humidity herbal field, and it is planted with some herbs that are very sensitive to sudden environmental changes and spiritual energy, such as this Jade Dew Grass¡­¡±


    ¡°This one changes with the seasons, and the spirit plants here don¡¯t require much care, as long as they are regularly watered with Spirit Rain to ensure there are no pests.¡±


    ¡°Because the tranquil minor world is situated above the Ten Thousand Water Lake Spirit Vein, it ranks second only to the cloud-dominated minor world of the Immortal Sect in terms of the variety of medicinal herbs planted among the six major medicinal fields.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened and nodded, these were the most critical things in the alchemy industry of the immortal sect.


    If he weren¡¯t the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zong Zi certainly wouldn¡¯t tell him these things and probably wouldn¡¯t bring him to this tranquil minor world to get Enlightenment Tea, but would just ask him to wait outside.


    ¡°Chief Zong, if I were to open a pharmacy, could I possibly get stock from your Sky Blue Drug Factory?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about how he could use the alchemists from this side of the immortal sect to legitimize the herbs from the Tianhe Realm, and opening a pharmacy would be the best way to do it.


    And one of the first things a pharmacy in the immortal sect needs to obtain before registering with the relevant departments is the drug factory¡¯s supply certificate.


    Although he has the backing of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, who would refuse to have more support?


    ¡°I can¡¯t make that decision, generally, a drug factory can supply many pharmacies, but a pharmacy is only allowed to list one drug factory.¡±


    Zong Zi shook his head. Although he was the chief of the current Jumang Daoist Academy, the Sky Blue Drug Factory was one of the lifelines of the academy, and he, with his shallow seniority, still couldn¡¯t speak on such matters.


    His last sentence revealed something.


    It¡¯s probably not possible.


    Chen Mobai was just asking, after all, the pharmacy idea was still a concept.

    In the months leading up to Core Formation, he would first work to grow and strengthen his talisman factory, then venture into alchemy and artifact refining sectors, striving to become a major trader between the two realms.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    By this time, they had already reached the center of the tranquil minor world.


    It was a terraced field.


    There were already five or six people on top of the terraces, each standing by various magic artifacts, seemingly refining elixirs.

 Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 369: Tranquil Little World_3

    Chapter 554: Chapter 369: Tranquil Little World_3


    Chen Mobai followed Zong Zi up the terraces and saw Luo Hezheng from their academy, who waved at him.


    ¡°Chief Zong, I¡¯m going to greet Master Luo first.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go together. Master Mei is right by Master Luo¡¯s side.¡±


    Zong Zi took Chen Mobai to Luo Hezheng. Standing next to him was the head of Sky Blue Pharmacy, Mei Shuan, a man with a peaceful expression and white hair.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about what you¡¯ve done. Well done.¡±


    Luo Hezheng spoke first, looking at Chen Mobai with satisfaction.


    It¡¯s been a long time since Dance Tool Daoist Academy has ranked first amongst the Immortal University. This time, Chen Mobai¡¯s overwhelming performance in the top ten colleges of the three main Daoist Academies made Luo Hezheng really proud.


    ¡°I was only doing what I was supposed to do.¡±


    Having spoken these words, Chen Mobai saw Mei Shuan tap on a teapot-shaped magical instrument in front of him, causing clear tea to flow out of its spout and fall into a transparent glass tube.


    ¡°This is your reward.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately accepted this ¡°Enlightenment Tea¡±, which shared a similar package to Qi-replenishing Spirit Water but was actually completely different.


    ¡°Thank you, Master Mei.¡±


    ¡°Although the effect of Enlightenment Tea can be preserved for many years, it¡¯s best when consumed soon after it¡¯s brewed.¡±


    Luo Hezheng added, prompting Chen Mobai to excuse himself, wishing to find a quiet place to drink the Enlightenment Tea immediately.


    ¡°No need to rush. The effect stays the same within a month.¡±


    As he spoke, Luo Hezheng uncovered a pot-like magical artifact in front of him, which contained an unknown spiritual water showing a cold and blue sheen. In the center of the spiritual water was a scarlet spirit plant with a diameter of half a meter.


    ¡°During the cold extraction of this Fire Lingzhi, I added a little too much cold spiritual water. I need your help to inject a bit of Pure Yang Fire Spiritual Power, for water-fire mutual assistance and Yin-Yang balance.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and asked how to do it.


    ¡°You need to inject your Pure Yang Spiritual Power into this Pure Yuan Spirit Water. Not too much, about one and two-third droplets of liquid spiritual power per unit of water.¡±


    Mei Shuan handed over a dozen glass tubes filled with Pure Yuan Spirit Water that he had prepared in advance. Zong Zi immediately took and stood by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    Pure Yuan Spirit Water refers to the spiritual water in the Immortal Alchemy industry void of any Five Elements.


    Injected with Fire Spiritual Power, it becomes Pure Fire Spirit Water; injected with Wood Spiritual Power, it becomes Pure Wood Spirit Water¡­


    In alchemy, these technique finely adjusts the micro differences in the medicine properties to achieve excellence.


    It seemed that the group was working on a high-grade Elixir. After giving some instructions, Mei Shuan went to check the extraction process of the others.


    ¡°We¡¯ve managed to gather enough materials to refine a Rank-4 Elixir this time, but it seems there was an issue with the storage of the Fire Lingzhi, resulting in some leakage of its medicinal properties. Since the Fire Lingzhi is from our academy, we asked for your help. Your Pure Yang Spiritual Power is also most suitable for this kind of work.¡±


    Luo Hezheng was straightforward with Chen Mobai about their work. In addition to representatives from the four major Daoist Academies, there were also two Rank-4 Alchemists specially invited for alchemy.


    Chen Mobai nodded, and under the guidance of Zong Zi, started to dissolve strands of his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, slowly injecting it into the Pure Yuan Spirit Water.


    What seemed like a simple task took Chen Mobai three attempts before Zong Zi finally nodded with satisfaction at the fourth tube of Pure Yuan Spirit Water.


    The originally pure and transparent spiritual water, displayed a golden-purple color, and was warm to the touch.


    Mei Shuan came over, tested the nine tubes of golden-purple Pure Yuan Spirit Water one by one, and took three of them.


    He opened one tube and poured it into the alchemic instrument in front of Luo Hezheng, which immediately displayed a virtual balance scale.


    The left side of the balance was blue and tilted slightly downward, and the right side was red, slanting upward.


    After two tubes of Pure Yuan Spirit Water were poured in consecutively, the red side slowly descended, nearly reaching balance with the blue side.


    Mei Shuan opened another tube and this time added the water drop by drop carefully. Only after the balance scale was completely balanced did he heave a sigh of relief.


    After witnessing this, Zong Zi left the secluded small realm with Chen Mobai.


    Before leaving, Luo Hezheng told Chen Mobai to lead the team back to the academy first and not to wait for him.


    ¡°I wonder what elixir they are refining?¡±


    As they left the secluded small realm, Chen Mobai, seemingly curious, asked Zong Zi, ignoring Turtle Treasure¡¯s vibrations.


    ¡°Having taken a brief look around, I can confirm that it¡¯s a Five Elements Gold Core Elixir, but I don¡¯t know which kind among the Five Elements.¡±


    As a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, even though Zong Zi had not seen the medicinal plants being extracted in the Alchemic Instruments, he had already guessed what elixir it was by observing the various additives placed on the shelf.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly shocked.


    Five Elements Gold Core Elixir!


    However, he shook his head shortly afterwards. Anyone in the Immortal Gate must follow rules to exchange for Core Formation Elixirs.


    Even if it¡¯s a genius like Lan Haitian, didn¡¯t she have to work for the Patching-Up Group for sixty years before obtaining the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill?


    Although this Five Elements Gold Core Elixir is one grade lower, the shortest period to exchange it is still sixty years of service. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t know which attribute it had.


    Chen Mobai remembered Che Yucheng saying that if he took the Five Elements Gold Core Elixir, it would be best to choose two pills with Fire and Wood Elements, and Fire Element as the second choice.


    Given that the elixir was being refined in the Secluded Small Realm atop the Water Vein, it¡¯s likely to be a Water Element Gold Core Elixir, which doesn¡¯t correspond to his cultivation technique.


    Speaking of Core Formation, Chen Mobai remembered the Divine Wood Sect.


    He wondered how Meng Hong, who had been in seclusion, was doing. As the former sect leader, he had been very kind to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai genuinely wished for his successful Core Formation.

    After parting with Zong Zi, Chen Mobai returned to the Elixir Refining Room.


    Qing Nu said that in about five days, the batch of ointment would be ready.


    Chen Mobai immediately called Zhuang Jialan and informed her that everyone should return to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy in five days.


    He was anxious to return and drink the Enlightenment Tea.


    However, that night, Wenren Xuewei sent a message inviting him for tea.

 Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_1

    Chapter 555: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_1


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the Qu Shui Pavilion, the three women were already there.


    ¡°Please, take a seat.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei gestured to the seat opposite her. There were four seats in total in the pavilion. With Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, all seats were filled.


    ¡°I have had the pleasure of meeting you three senior sisters.¡±


    Whether it was Wen Ren Xuewei, Yan Qingzhi, or even the youngest Pei Qingshuang, all of them were more than twice Chen Mobai¡¯s age. Calling them senior sisters was already making them sound younger.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, please accept this.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei gave a faint smile and handed over a jade box from the stone table.


    Upon opening the box, Chen Mobai was met with a refreshing scent that cleared his mind. After a closer look, he found a palm-sized flower that looked freshly picked!


    It was a Great Toon flower!


    No need to ask further, Chen Mobai immediately recognized the gift.


    This should be the reward for being the runner-up in the spar with Wen Ren Xuewei, he didn¡¯t expect her to give it to him.


    ¡°One does not accept reward without making a contribution.¡±


    Even though he wanted it, Chen Mobai, maintaining his self-control, closed the jade box, and pushed it back.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you lost a Sword Sha in the spar with Cui. We could consider this as Cui¡¯s compensation since this was originally hers to begin with.¡±


    Based on ranking, Pei Qingshuang would have been in second place if she hadn¡¯t been late, and lost to Chen Mobai. It made sense for Wen Ren Xuewei to say this.


    ¡°In the arena, we all rely on our own capabilities. It was my decision to win, losing a Sword Sha is my own responsibility.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied, shaking his head repeatedly. In the Daoist Academy, he had begun to deliberately establish his character as a sword cultivator.


    Mainly because the Great Toon flower was of little use to him.


    This spiritual object, when refined into one¡¯s consciousness sea, can stabilize the Purple Palace, prevents the divine sense from rebounding and suppresses a troublemakers¡¯ heart demons, but he had no such troubles.


    He certainly didn¡¯t owe anyone a favor for something unnecessary like this.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen is truly as proud as a blue bamboo.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but praise him.


    Yan Qingzhi and Pei Qingshuang, having heard this, looked at Chen Mobai with strange gazes. They had never met a cultivator in the Daoist Academy who could face the Great Toon flower without a change in expression and decisively reject it.


    Once refined, the immature form of the Immortal Toon Fruit, the Great Toon flower, cultivators can increase their innate lifespan by twenty years.


    Even a Gold Core Seeker begging at Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s gate might not be able to get one.


    [Such strong-mindedness in this person is seldom seen in the world.]


    As the three women thought about this, they didn¡¯t realize that Chen Mobai had no idea that the Great Toon flower could extend one¡¯s lifespan by twenty years.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, this time you¡¯ve gained great fame for sweeping the top ten students of the three major Daoist Academies. In the Foundation Establishment level, both your reputation and strength has reached its peak. Your next step should be the preparation to get a Core Formation Spiritual Object, right?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei was not unpleasant to be around. Upon seeing Chen Mobai refusing the Great Toon Flower, she immediately laughed and changed the subject to another topic.


    ¡°I wonder which department of the Daoist Academy is fortunate enough to admit you, a heaven-sent genius.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head after hearing this and did not conceal his intention: ¡°I do not intend to take a public exam, I intend to go into business and get rich.¡±


    Businessman!?


    The three women looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.


    ¡°With your abilities, Junior Brother Chen, and the support of Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the Daoist Academy would certainly assist you if you are willing. You can obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill in the shortest possible time, as Gongye Zhixu and Lan Haitian did.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei spoke softly and persuasively.


    ¡°I suppose it¡¯s because I dislike being bound by nature.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered an excuse. He would naturally not say that he needed to handle affairs in two worlds and if he works a desk job in public office, it would be easy for his secrets to be revealed.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you should really consider this carefully. I have the Lasting Spring Skill, and even without the Core Formation spiritual object, I could still find the key to successful Core Formation. Cui can spend people¡¯s accumulated contributions, and as long as she accumulates sixty years of service, she can redeem the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill. In addition, because of her physique and special cultivation technique, Qingzhi is slightly similar to consuming the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.¡±


    ¡°The rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators are better off using the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, even though you practice the Pure Yang Scroll which is the easiest way to breakthrough, you still need to learn the Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei knows all the great divinity transformation techniques of Dao Academy. Because of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she has the deepest understanding of Core Formation among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in this batch.


    Even with her arrangement, she failed to form a core twice, which indicated the difficulty of Core Formation.


    In the Daoist Academy, more than 80% of the Real Gold Core cultivators succeeded in Core Formation by consuming the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.


    Do not underestimate the difference between Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill and Five Elements Gold Core Pill, which is only 10% success rate. Sometimes, this 10% can end up making a big difference in the final results.

    ¡°Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Wen Ren knows about Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. The Pure Yang Purple Qi is a technique from the Gold Core chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll. It uses Pure Yang spiritual power to blend with Big Sun Purple Gas, then refining them with the Flame Lighting Technique to obtain a strand of Innate Primordial Yang Purple Gas.


    The process is similar to artificially combining the Five Elements¡¯ essence qi to form Earth Sha Qi. However, only those cultivators who have reached Core Formation level with the Pure Yang Scroll can condense this ¡°Pure Yang Purple Qi¡±.


    The higher the level of cultivation, the shorter the time required to condense it.


    In addition to its function to break through demons, the Pure Yang Purple Qi is also known to enhance the chances of breaking through to a higher level of cultivation.

 Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_2

    Chapter 556: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_2


    The prototype of the Barrier Breaking Pill is the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    A strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi can increase the probability of breaking through by 20%.


    However, this Pure Yang Purple Qi, because it is the essence harmonized with the spiritual power of a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, is generally only usable by the cultivator. If it¡¯s to be transferred to other cultivators, a special method must be used to erase the imprinted traces within it, and the effect would be considerably reduced.


    That is why, after being revised by the Old Ancestor Yuan Yang, the Pure Yang Scroll has the lowest entrance threshold among all cultivation techniques, and the simplest, capable of guiding cultivators directly to the ultimate goal of cultivation: Divinity Transformation.


    When Chen Mobai chose this cultivation method, it was precisely because of this advantage, as his talent and comprehension are average.


    The only worry for cultivators practicing this technique is that their lifespan may not be sufficient.


    Apart from the Pure Yang Daoist Body, if you want to successfully break through, you still need to spend time condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    All these require time.


    For the Gold Core first level, it takes roughly sixty years to condense a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, while for the Gold Core Perfection, it takes another ten to twenty years.


    ¡°In the future, if Cui and Qiongzhi fail to reach core formation, they might need to ask you for Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei said with a smile, she has Lasting Spring Cultivation, which allows innumerable failures.


    The barrier-breaking function of Pure Yang Purple Qi is also effective for the bottleneck of major realms.


    ¡°I¡¯m still a long way from Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment Perfection, and I don¡¯t even know if I can reach core formation.¡±


    As Pure Yang Scroll cultivators themselves don¡¯t have enough time for cultivation, who would be willing to give Pure Yang Purple Qi to others, Chen Mobai thought for a while and then tactfully refused.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I encouraged junior brother to get the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill. With your talent, as long as you succeed in core formation and condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, combined with the spiritual medicines and Gold Core Nine Revolutions technique of the Immortal Sect, there¡¯re high hopes for Nascent Soul Formation. It¡¯s been a long time since a Pure Yang Scroll Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared in the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei speculated regretfully. A Nascent Soul Cultivator can condense Pure Yang Purple Qi in just two to three years.


    For the Immortal Sect, this is an endless supply of Barrier Breaking Pills.


    ¡°Senior sister, this tea is not bad.¡±


    Chen Mobai changed the topic, Wen Ren Xuewei saw that he was unwilling to continue and couldn¡¯t do anything but pour him another cup.


    ¡°Junior brother, the Enlightenment Tea was attained through your own strength, let¡¯s consider this Dalit flower as accumulating good karma.¡±


    After finishing the tea, when Chen Mobai made his excuses to leave, Wen Ren Xuewei again pushed the jade box towards him.


    ¡°You Pure Yang Scroll cultivators are most in need of time. Although junior brother¡¯s talent is outstanding, having an extra twenty years from this Dalit flower isn¡¯t bad, consider as a deposit for a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, how about it?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was about to refuse again, hesitated when he heard this. This Dalit flower can also increase lifespan.


    Hearing frequent exchanges between Yu Rulin from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, Chen Mobai naturally understands how precious spiritual objects that can increase innate lifespan are.


    If this additional twenty years of innate lifespan were converted into replenishing lifespan, it was estimated that it would be enough for him to consume Rejuvenation Spirit Pills for four hundred years.


    ¡°In that case, I respectfully comply.¡±


    Chen Mobai pretended to hesitate for a moment, then reached out and took the jade box off the table.


    ¡°Is he truly worth such an investment?¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Pei Qingshuang, who had been silent, voiced out. Although she accepted her loss to Chen Mobai, she never felt that she would need to ask him for Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    As the daughter of Tao Hua, she could never be reduced to such condition.


    ¡°Because I might need it. This has caused the two of you to spend quite a sum.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi, who was on the other side, spoke. Her cultivation technique is extremely cold and Yin-based, to advance further, she would need Pure Yang Purple Qi as a fuse, Yin produces Yang.


    When Pei Qingshuang heard this, she nodded in comprehension.


    As the first Yang attribute grand method in the Immortal Sect, the Pure Yang Scroll indeed can match all Yin attribute cultivation techniques.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just this, I noticed his accomplishments in Sword Dao and Thunder method are also rarely seen in the world. Have you considered the possibility of him controlling the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Today, Wen Ren Xuewei gave out this Dalit flower to create good karma, paving the way for her two best friends.


    After hearing this, Pei Qingshuang widened her eyes in disbelief and instinctively began to resist.


    ¡°I had struggled incredibly to control the Qing Shuang Sword and drank quite a lot of Enlightenment Tea. I don¡¯t think he can handle it.¡±


    For a Foundation Building Realm cultivator to wield the power of a Rank-4 Sword, in addition to having deep background, a great deal of effort is required. Pei Qingshuang being able to control the Qing Shuang Sword is in itself a remarkable achievement.


    ¡°Others might not be able to do it, but he is the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who comprehended the three-stage Thunder method and even mastered sword light shapeshifting in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He can be said to be the most suitable holder of the Purple Electric Sword. After the results of this period of discussion are released, I¡¯m afraid the upper echelons will consider this matter.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang wanted to refute Wenren Xuewei once again, but after thinking about it, she really couldn¡¯t find any reason to refute.


    Born from the Dance Tools, Three-stage Thunder method, Sword Light Transformation!


    Adding up these three, it seems that her background is just a bit deeper than him.


    In this way, Chen Mobai is indeed the providential holder of the ¡°Purple Electric Sword¡±.


    As long as he himself is willing and the Dance Tool Dao Academy gives a little push, this matter is likely to be resolved.


    As for Pei Qingshuang, she felt that with Chen Mobai¡¯s extraordinary talent, the toughest part of communicating with the sword would be effortlessly easy.


    It is expected that after the Purple Electric Sword sensed his potential to become a deity, it would cheer and celebrate, producing a clear and bright sword sound!


    Thinking of this, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t help but become gloomy.


    She has always been proud of her control over the Rank-4 sword in the Foundation Building Realm, but now it seems that this pride will soon be shattered by Chen Mobai.


    However, deep down, Pei Qingshuang felt a small, unspeakable excitement rising.


    If he became the holder of the Purple Electric Sword, it would feel very good.


    Because he is a highly qualified, stronger than her!


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how loudly the calculations of the three women were reverberating.


    He took the Big Tree Flower back to the Elixir Refining Room and threw the jade box onto the table.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°A gift from Wenren Xuewei, she said she wanted to form a good relationship with me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu responded, recalling the previous scheme by Wenren Xuewei for Pei Qingshuang to intentionally arrive late to secure the Enlightenment Tea for Chen Mobai.


    But she clearly didn¡¯t expect Chen Mobai to be able to defeat Pei Qingshuang, who possesses a Rank-4 Sword.


    This good relationship didn¡¯t come to fruition, but they sent another gift.


    ¡°Is it tea? Sister Wenren¡¯s cultivation of the famous Snow Mist Tea is quite noteworthy. It is said that the parts grafted on to the Big Tree branches have reached rank-3. The department heads in the Daoist Academy who have tasted it have nothing but good things to say.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, she opened the jade box to take a look.


    Then, she just stood there, her eyes wide open in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Big Tree Flower; if it wasn¡¯t for the potential to increase lifespan by twenty years, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to accept it.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai woke up Qing Nu from her daze, she quietly closed the jade box and looked at Chen Mobai with a strange gaze.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked down at his clothes and attire. Because his Dance Device Red and Black Robe had been damaged in the fight with Pei Qingshuang, he changed into one of Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s spares. The two had similar body types and the fit was perfect; there was no difference from before.


    ¡°No, nothing. I just didn¡¯t expect that they would see your potential just from a few days of sparring.¡±


    Qing Nu said so, but she secretly felt bitter in her heart.


    It was she who discovered it first.


    It could only be said that Chen Mobai is too excellent that he can¡¯t hide his talent anymore, it would be strange if they didn¡¯t notice.


    ¡°What are your plans for the future, core formation?¡±


    Qing Nu and Chen Mobai sat together. The former used his Pure Yang spiritual power to inject into the Pill Furnace to raise the temperature, and the latter sent his Divine Sense out of the body to harmonize and refine the medicinal ointment in the Pill Furnace, forming a fluid. They were refining the pill together while talking.

    ¡°Yes, core formation is the first goal.¡±


    ¡°However, it will take some time for my Pure Yang Scroll to reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment. In the meantime, I will improve my realm and advance my Pure Yang Daoist Body to Six Yang. Then I will use my spare time to do business and earn some Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°After graduation, I want to open a pharmacy. It¡¯s a pity that you entered the immortal gate, otherwise I would have wanted to hire you as the chief Alchemist of my pharmacy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu smiled.


    At least, in the aspect of alchemy, he still considers her as the first choice.

 Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword suits me_1

    Chapter 557: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword suits me_1


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard this time.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Chen Mobai sincerely thanked the stunning young girl standing in front of him as he received a jar of sealed ointment from Qing Nu.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing; you¡¯ve helped me a lot more.¡±


    Qing Nu smiled and cleaned the Magic Artifact equipment used in the Elixir Refining Room. She always remembered Chen¡¯s kindness in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°I must leave now.¡±


    After putting away the ointment, Chen Mobai checked his phone. The afternoon was the scheduled time for him to leave Linwu Dongtian with Dance Tool Dao Academy. It was already noon.


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu paused in her sorting of Magic Artifacts, but she still turned around, squinting and smiling, saying, ¡°Safe journey.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, turned around and was just about to leave.


    But his steps suddenly felt heavy, like he had other words he needed to say.


    ¡°What is it? Is there something else?¡±


    Qing Nu, noticing him standing in place, curiously asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t investigate the matters from our childhood anymore in the Reconstruction Group.¡±


    For some reason, Chen Mobai suddenly blurted out these words.


    Although he had already rejected Kong Feichen, at the moment of parting, he felt that if he didn¡¯t say this, he might regret it in the future.


    When Qing Nu heard this, her previously smiling face instantly froze.


    Her bright eyes seemed to suddenly lose their glow, and she slowly lowered her head.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to be late. You should go.¡±


    Hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai scratched his head in annoyance, waved at the girl in front of him, and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    At the shore of Wood God Island.


    Zhuang Jialan and Bian Jingchun, holding a lot of local products, were chatting gossip with Song Yuexin on the water bridge. Seeing Chen Mobai approached, the three girls immediately fell silent and stared at him.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look at himself again: was he unsuitable for Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s Dancing Device Red and Black Robe?


    ¡°Junior, I heard that the academy is already preparing for you to wield the Purple Electric Sword. Is it true?¡±


    Although Bian Jingchun also admired Chen Mobai, being older, she was direct and asked about the gossip she had just heard.


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and denied the rumor right away.


    He really wanted to own Rank-4 sword after seeing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s, but the matter was not even under consideration; probably because he and Pei Qingshuang had an intense fight, he had advanced to the Rank-3 in both the Thunder Method and Sword Dao, which led them to put together a pair.


    Once Chen Mobai boarded the water bridge, Song Yuexin immediately transported the four of them towards Small Ye Island.


    ¡°When the wind comes from an empty hole, there must be a reason. I think the news was released intentionally to encourage you to strive for it.¡±


    Since graduating, Bian Jingchun has been honing her skills in the public service and was sensitive to these matters. She spoke words that slightly swayed Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You have done such a great service for the academy, and you¡¯re Chief Che¡¯s disciple. Just tell him how hard it was for you to fight against the Rank-4 Qing Shuang Sword and expressing how nice it would be to have a Rank-4 sword yourself. You don¡¯t have to say it too directly, Chief Che will understand and surely help you.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai, who was not blinded by the Rank-4 sword, voiced his worries.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword is the Rank-4 sword of Shanhai Academy, why would they give it to an outsider like me?¡±


    ¡°The Sea-setting Sword was also forged by our Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡± Bian Jingchun shook her finger and started to explain why the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy had almost half of the top-notch Flying Swords of the Daoist Academy. ¡°Most of the swords in the Sword Tower are kept by others. In addition to being famous for their Sword Cultivation, Shanhai Academy¡¯s casting, maintenance, and repair of swords are also among the top in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Who currently owns the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai was intrigued and began to ask more questions.


    ¡°I have already asked a colleague to inquire. The Qing Shuang Sword belongs to the Nature Studies Academy, but the Purple Electric Sword is a bit complicated. This sword belonged to Qing Shi from the Five Lightning Daoist Academy. After his death, he left this sword to Qing Jing in his will. When Qing Jing also passed away, due to the dispute between the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and the Nature Studies Academy, the Daoist Academy sent both the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang swords to the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy.¡±


    The story of Purple Lightning Qingshuang is widely known amongst the Daoist Academy.


    Qing Shi and Qing Jing were arguably teacher and friend. Their beautiful story of breaking through societal norms and becoming Daoist partners touched Chen Mobai when he saw it on TV as a child.

    However, as there were content restrictions when the TV show aired, the roles of the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and Nature Studies Academy were negatively portrayed. As a result, the show was censored with the combined forces of the two academies.


    Thus, Chen Mobai did not know the true story of the ownership of Purple Lightning Qingshuang.


    Qing Shi was from the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and Qing Jing was from the Nature Studies Academy.


    The Purple Electric Sword was the main sword of Qing Shi. It was made with the help of the academy, so it indeed belonged to the Five Lightning Daoist Academy. However, in Qing Shi¡¯s will, he decided to leave the sword to Qing Jing.


    Qing Jing was respected during his lifetime, so the Five Lightning Daoist Academy did not dare to say much.

 Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword Suits Me_2

    Chapter 558: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword Suits Me_2


    However, after Master Qing Jing passed away, the Five Thunder Academy immediately wanted to reclaim the Purple Electric Sword from the Nature Studies Academy, which they, of course, were reluctant to part with.


    Both academies were equally powerful, and the dispute grew so large that the Hall Master of the Orthodox Law had to intervene, sending the pair of top-notch swords to the Sword Tower of the Mountain and Sea Academy.


    Watching the drama unfold, the Mountain and Sea Academy could not help but laugh merrily as they accepted the swords.


    ¡°The ownership of the Qing Shuang Sword is clear, it belongs to the Nature Studies Academy. However, the Mountain and Sea Academy, following the command of the Hall of the Orthodox Law, has painstakingly nurtured it for over a hundred years, thus they hold the custody rights of the sword.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, Pei Qingshuang first entered the Mountain and Sea Academy, then the Jumang Daoist Academy intervened to resolve things with the Nature Studies Academy. In addition, she is extremely talented, so she was able to wield the Qing Shuang Sword.¡±


    ¡°If you want the Purple Electric Sword, it will be a bit more troublesome. You not only need to deal with the Mountain and Sea Academy and the Nature Studies Academy, but also the Five Thunder Academy, which has been eyeing the sword.¡±


    After hearing what Bian Jingchun had found out over the past two days, Chen Mobai thought of his close friends Wenren Xuewei, Yan Qiongzhi, and Pei Qingshuang. He showed a look of sudden realization.


    Isn¡¯t Yan Qiongzhi from the Nature Studies Academy? So that¡¯s how they formed this connection.


    ¡°Listening to your analysis, sister Bian, I feel like I¡¯m getting farther and farther from this Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was becoming quite famous now, his title as the top Foundation Establishment cultivator of Immortal Cultivation wasn¡¯t enough to make the three major academies approve him as the wielder of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Even if he reached the Core Formation stage right now, the three major academies would still not grant him this honor.


    Unless, the Daoist Academy is willing to intervene!


    ¡°Master, I went all out this time to restore the glory of the dance instruments, painstakingly getting a loan from my own talisman factory to purchase the Sword Sha for condensing evil qi, which resulted in its permanent loss¡­¡±


    After receiving guidance from Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai quickly led everyone onto their Flying Artifact and returned to Crimson City.


    Upon arriving at the Daoist Academy, he handed over the formalities of receiving the guests to Hua Zijing while he himself hurried to Che Yucheng¡¯s office. Wearing a heavy expression, he started recounting how diligently he had worked during the Daoist Academy exchange event and how significantly he had sacrificed for the glory of the academy.


    He was so close to shedding Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew tears to express how heartbroken he was for losing a Sword Sha!


    ¡°Hmm, indeed, that was a significant loss for the sake of the academy. In order not to discourage all the students and to set an example for future generations, I think the academy should not only compensate you for your losses but also greatly reward you.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words that made his heart bloom with joy after his complaints, Chen Mobai felt obliged to maintain a fa?ade.


    ¡°Master, it is my duty to bring glory to the academy.¡±


    ¡°Ah, that shouldn¡¯t be the attitude. Reward and merit go hand in hand. I will propose this issue in the teacher¡¯s meeting this week and see if we can apply to compensate you with a Fire Yang Evil.¡±


    Ah, there¡¯s a Fire Yang Evil in the Daoist Academy?


    Chen Mobai was not even aware of this. But then, he quickly came to his senses.


    What did a Fire Yang Evil count for? He wanted the Purple Electric Sword!


    ¡°Master, you don¡¯t need to reward me too much. A token of appreciation would suffice.¡±


    Chen Mobai tactfully added another sentence.


    ¡°Then what do you think would be an appropriate reward?¡±


    Che Yucheng asked in a democratic manner, kindly asking Chen Mobai for his opinion.


    ¡°I heard online that the Mountain and Sea Academy has a Purple Electric Sword, and they all say it goes well with me.¡±


    Che Yucheng was momentarily speechless as he saw Chen Mobai actually had the audacity to say this.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Rank-4 sword.¡±


    ¡°Master, didn¡¯t you also give sister Bian a Rank-4 True Dragon Ding? Not only did I successfully complete the task she should have accomplished, but I also surpassed expectations by bringing the Daoist Academy back to the top spot.¡±


    Chen Mobai subtly expressed his reasoning, implying that he had made such significant contributions and thus the Daoist Academy should consider giving him a Rank-4 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°That was lent to her. After coming back this time, she will have to return it to Senior Sister Duanmu before leaving the Daoist Academy.¡±


    With a helpless look, Che Yucheng spoke,


    ¡°Ah, I see.¡±


    Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s face, feeling his dreams of wielding the Purple Electric Sword were likely over.


    ¡°However, since you¡¯ve made significant achievements this time, I¡¯ll see if I can arrange something but I can¡¯t promise anything.¡±


    In the end, it was these words from Che Yucheng that rekindled a glimmer of hope in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    The master-disciple pair spoke a little more in detail afterwards. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t withhold anything and revealed that Wenren Xuewei had gifted him the Big Tree flower to form good karma.


    ¡°Just keep it. Jumang and our Dance Instruments have navigated countless years together as allies. During my 200 years of oversight, the relationship has been very good.¡±


    With Che Yucheng¡¯s reassurance, Chen Mobai finally felt at ease.


    After some hesitation, he chose not to utter a word about Kong Feichen and the Devouring Heaven Serpent, not due to any distrust in Che Yucheng but rather, Chen Mobai felt such things were better left unsaid.


    ¡°You should drink the Enlightenment Tea as soon as possible.¡±


    Worried that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, Che Yucheng gave him a reminder.


    ¡°Alright, Master, I plan to rest tonight and then find a place in Building Nine to drink it tomorrow.¡±


    Apart from hurrying back, another major reason for Chen Mobai¡¯s rush was to drink the Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Hmm, you are an adult now, I won¡¯t tell you how to live your life. Foundation Establishment cultivators drinking Enlightenment tea can glimpse their future Dao journey while in this profound realm. Remember not to waste this opportunity.¡±


    There is a limit to what a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage can see, such that many perceive their own cultivation technique realm as flawless when in fact, at a higher level, it is full of holes.


    But in the Enlightenment Realm, you can see further and more clearly.


    Even considering the entire Immortal Sect, the Enlightenment Tea is among the rarest spiritual objects.


    ¡°Master, if the Enlightenment Tea is so powerful, why not use it to enhance some exceptional talents like Meng Huang, who is a Sound Dao genius in cultivating the Shocking God Sonata? If she could use this for foundation establishment and Core Formation, wouldn¡¯t that be great?¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought of his good friend. It had been more than a year since he last saw her, and he missed her voice.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Do you know how many cultivators there are in the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai:¡±Three hundred million!¡±


    This number is always being advertised. Due to the longevity of cultivators, the population has been increasing since the last war of expansion. Recently, the Immortal Sect has even started to implement family planning.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Of three hundred million cultivators, the last thing we lack is talent. The oldest Nascent Soul masters in the Immortal Sect are nearing a thousand years old. In this millennium, they have cultivated hundreds of talents who hoped to master the Shocking God Sonata, but only a handful of them, three to be exact, have been able to achieve Core Formation. If Jiang Yuyuan manages to establish his foundation through his own talent, that indicates his worth in further cultivation. Meng Huang, if she needs Enlightenment Tea just to establish her foundation, then it¡¯s definitely impossible for her to succeed in Core Formation.¡±


    Despite not having been clearly put, Chen Mobai already understood Che Yucheng¡¯s intentions.


    The Immortal Sect is indeed short in resources but not in talent.


    Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root appears every once in a while, let alone a mere Sound Dao genius.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If Meng Huang can succeed in her foundation establishment through her own talent and determination, the Nascent Soul masters in the Immortal Sect, who are eager for the Shocking God Sonata, will undoubtedly spare no resources and will exhaust all efforts to cultivate her to Core Formation and even Nascent Soul Formation.


    But if she can¡¯t even get past this first checkpoint to the Cultivation path, it¡¯s better to give up early and save resources.


    ¡°Of course, prodigies like you are indeed quite rare. Let me see if I can get word of your achievements to the principal. If he¡¯s willing to intervene, getting the Purple Electric Sword will be no problem.¡±


    Seeing the dazed look on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, Che Yucheng thought he might have come on a bit strong with his previous words and added in a more pleasant tone.


    ¡°Master, you are overestimating me. I just work a little harder and happened to have a bit of fate on my side,¡± Chen Mobai replied humbly before bidding goodbye and leaving.

 Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: 372

    chapter 559: 372


    before he left, chen mobai made sure che yucheng got him a pass so he could go to the library and redeem the gold core and core formation insights from the pure yang scroll.


    although he was still far from reaching the core formation stage, enlightenment tea could allow him to see the process in advance.


    after picking up the corresponding cultivation techniques and resources from the library, chen mobai also downloaded some papers on puppet factories from the campus network before going to the student union.


    leading the triumphant return of the dance tool dao academy team naturally called for a proper celebration.


    hua zijing had already adeptly organized a celebratory banquet.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t forget to change his clothes in his office, as the dancing device red and black robe he was wearing, in fact, belonged to jiang yuyuan.


    ¡°junior brother, please guide me a lot in the next few years.¡±


    mid-drinks, bian jingchun flushed slightly and toasted to chen mobai.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t quite grasp the meaning of her words, but respectfully clinked glasses with her.


    after everyone had eaten and drank their fill, the gathering dispersed.


    sun daoji and chi shicheng set off together for crimson city. both had booked their departure for the next day, and had bid chen mobai farewell before leaving.


    ¡°when you come back to wangwu heaven, you can look for us.¡±


    both worked at the central hub of the fairy gate and wanted to get liquid gold jade rejuvenation pills for their core formation.


    ¡°very well, journey safely, brothers.¡±


    chen mobai had originally wanted to ask chi shicheng about the devouring heaven serpent, but then thought about how he was completely clueless about the subject. just in case this was exclusive technology of the ascension sect, it would be like exposing his collusion with the heretical cult.


    so, upon careful consideration, he decided to put it on hold for the moment.


    friend or not, he would have opportunities to talk to him later.


    after all the guest had left, chen mobai returned to his little cottage.


    looking up, he was surprised to see the lights on in meng huang¡¯s villa up the hill.


    but considering it was the end of term and exams were around the corner, it was normal for her to return.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t put too much thought into it, he transported himself to the tianhe realm from within his room.


    things in xiao nanshan were still the same, but after opening the cloud mist array at the top of the hill, he found two message talismans.


    they were from his two apprentices.


    now was the time for the sect competition. his eldest apprentice had been injured in the big battle with the mountain shaker peak, and although he had recovered, his cultivation level had dropped by two stages, so he did not participate this year.


    zhuo ming and luo yixuan, on the other hand, had signed up.


    zhuo ming participated to gain more magic duel experience and also because the business at south mountain shop in divine wood city needed tending to by the end of the year.


    luo yixuan¡¯s reasons were different. she was aiming for one of the twenty-four true transmission spots this year, with a determination to make her master proud.


    before departing, both of luo yixuan and zhuo ming sent message talismans to the closed-off chen mobai.


    after reading the contents, chen mobai nodded, estimated the time, and if luo yixuan became a true transmission, he figured he would be able to make it to the last few rounds.


    after replying to both apprentices, chen mobai saw that there wasn¡¯t much happening on the divine wood sect¡¯s side, so he returned to the daoist academy.


    that night, he didn¡¯t meditate. instead, he turned off the lights, went to bed, and had a good night¡¯s sleep.


    atop the hill, inside an elegantly designed villa¡¯s second-floor living room, an attractive figure with a great body and long, slim waist stood in front of the window. she watched as the lights in the cabin at the foot of the hill went out, her beautiful face slightly stunned.


    [think about it carefully, you only have one chance.]


    the colorful silhouette on her phone screen slowly faded, leaving behind a message.


    it was only after the text disappeared that meng huang slowly came back to her senses.


    [a chance, only one¡­]


    the next day.


    chen mobai woke up naturally, feeling his spirit, qi, and health had reached their peak.


    he didn¡¯t waste any time, and after using the short teleportation talisman to get to the daoist academy, he went straight to building 9 to book a cultivation room for the week.


    although the enlightenment tea only lasts for three days, he had to leave extra room for himself.


    while he was scanning to pay his good deed points, chen mobai noticed several unread messages.


    they were all from his good friends in the academy who had heard he had returned in glory and sent their congratulations.


    while casually scrolling through the messages, chen mobai found one from meng huang mixed in as well.


    [do you have time recently?]


    chen mobai glanced at it and immediately ignored it.


    the end of the year was always his busiest time. right now, in addition to his main task of taking the enlightenment tea, the student union also needed to pre-schedule the curriculum for all majors in the academy for the next year.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    these tasks involved communication with various teachers and students and, with hua zijing graduating, if chen mobai didn¡¯t step in, it was estimated it could drag on until the beginning of next year before being completed.


    in addition, if his apprentice in the divine wood sect truly got into the final rounds, he, as the master, should be there to watch, both in emotion and in reason.


    once these three tasks were completed, he needed to go to crimson city to audit and file taxes for their symbol factory by the end of the year. since it involved the factory¡¯s mortgage loan, he, as the legal representative, had to be present; otherwise, it was doubtful if the accounts would be approved by the bank and the academy.


    chen mobai neatly listed the tasks he needed to do after consuming the enlightenment tea in his mind. compared with these, maintaining friendship with meng huang quite simply fell to the bottom of the list.


    after replying to the congratulatory messages from his good friends such as ming yuhua, chen ran his finger across his phone screen and essentially pretended he hadn¡¯t seen meng huang¡¯s message.

 Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Chapter 373 Thousand Swords Dharma Body_1

    chapter 561: chapter 373 thousand swords dharma body_1


    after studying the pure yang scroll and the art of puppetry, chen mobai realized that he had already spent two days on the enlightenment tea.


    he took a fasting pill, then looked at the stack of textbooks on symbol-making left on the floor.


    he had originally estimated that he should have had half a day left over, but now it seemed that things were going even better than planned.


    instead of picking up the symbol-making textbooks, he removed the ¡°myriad law body¡± given by yu lian from his storage bag.


    under the effects of the enlightenment tea, his thoughts were entirely different from usual.


    this art of embodiment from the tianhe realm, which he normally found very powerful, now seemed utterly incredible.


    the mystery of the myriad law body was no less profound than the topnotch divine techniques at the immortal gate.


    it even surpassed them somewhat.


    considering the situation in the tianhe realm, chen mobai had reason to believe that this cultivation technique was not created by the ancestor of eternity, but was a secret technique passed down from his predecessors.


    like how the ancestor honoring unifying element of the five elements sect received the inheritance of yuan true monarch, it was possible that the ancestor of eternity also received a similar chance from an ancient sect like the ascended monk or the eternal way, which allowed him to cultivate the myriad law body.


    in the sage state, chen mobai became aware of the extraordinary nature of myriad law body.


    after the pure yang scroll and the art of puppetry, he temporarily moved this cultivation technique to the third place for comprehension.


    it was at this moment that he understood why the formless puppet previously had failed during the operation and required a core direction to be set.


    after finishing reading the handwritten copy of myriad law body from the silver sky sect, chen mobai nodded thoughtfully.


    began with the most straightforward palm, and then gradually formed the entire myriad law body.


    he immediately thought of the yin and yang five elements seven stars sword arm given by zuo gong and the five elements sword finger deduced from the formless puppet combined with his own circumstances.


    in the cultivation room, under his divine sense control, the spiritual energy began to slowly gather towards his right, and slowly, a semi-transparent phalanx made purely of spiritual power emerged on the back of chen mobai¡¯s raised right hand.


    then all the liquid longevity spiritual power emerged from the six yang divine fire mirror, fused with the longevity spiritual power in his qi sea, and in a flash he was back in the state of foundation establishment perfection.


    under the operation of his most powerful longevity and immortality scripture, he used the sword light shapeshifting to evolve the divine wood sword light.


    as the five elements sword finger was functioning, the huge semi-transparent phalanx floating in the void of the room was also covered with the green divine wood sword light, lush and dripping, as if the fingertip enveloped a piece of nature.


    after the index finger, the spiritual energy in the room converged again, and under chen mobai¡¯s divine sense control, it condensed into another semi-transparent ring finger phalanx.


    during the operation of red flame sword jue, because the green-sun fire was not added, only the red flame sword light lit up. but this was just for practicing myriad law body, so being more delicate in strength was better.


    then came the gengjin sword light, black ice sword light, and wu earth sword glow, all coming out one after another as he exercised his divine sense with the cultivation technique.


    in an instant, five phalanges longer than his height emerged in the void of the room, like a claw from the underworld, with the tips of the fingers shining in the five elements color of sword light, which looked very mysterious.


    using the five elements sword finger, he entered the myriad law body in a comprehensive way.


    next, he just needed to use the formless puppet for deduction, set the all contents of sword destruction collection to be introduced, and perhaps he could cultivate a thousand swords dharma body.


    after the myriad law body was understood, chen mobai looked at the time again and found that there were only two hours left.


    he calmly picked up a book on the content of talismans and started reading.


    it seemed like the last bit of time during the previous soul awakening dao pill was also used to digest the talisman textbook, and now it was the same.


    after finishing the rank-2 textbook, chen mobai began reading the rank-3 one.


    he did not look at specific talisman drawing methods, but started reading some commonly used basic knowledge in it to solidify his foundation.


    by the time he had finished half of the second book, a wave of fatigue that was indescribable came over him.


    in the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion, the azure jade parasol tree that evolved from his divine sense seemed to have wilted at this time, as if it was lacking moisture and has lost its luster.


    chen mobai knew that the effect of enlightenment tea had passed, so he immediately took out the clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew and dripped it into his eyes again and again.


    only after nearly two tubes of clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew were refined into the sea of knowledge did the feeling of tiredness slowly disappear.


    then, chen mobai took out the big tree flower given by miss snowy veil.


    the refining of this spiritual object was very simple, he took it out of the jade box and placed it on his forehead.


    his divine sense came out and enveloped the big tree flower.


    then the green-white petals began to disappear one after another. this meant that they were being absorbed into his divine sense. for every petal that disappeared from his physical body, another appeared in his sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    after a while, the entire big tree flower had been refined into the sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    streams of freshness emerged from the petals, blending into various parts of the sea of knowledge at the purple palace. chen mobai¡¯s brain, which had been fatigued due to overuse, began to feel light and relaxed.


    meanwhile, the two small azure jade parasol trees separated by his god controlling art was also quickly absorbing the clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew in the sea of knowledge, like inflating a balloon, completed their growth quickly.


    chen mobai no longer forced himself to stay awake, naturally closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.


    he slept continuously for three days and three nights.


    when chen mobai woke up, he couldn¡¯t help stretching himself. he felt his mind was clearer than ever before, and his body seemed to have gotten younger.

 Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Chapter 373 Thousand Swords Dharma Body_2

    chapter 562: chapter 373 thousand swords dharma body_2


    this must be the reason why my lifespan has increased by twenty years after refining the dalit flower.


    he felt his divine consciousness and could not help but showed a look of surprise.


    after successively taking the enlightenment tea and the dalit flower, the intensity of his divine consciousness had actually reached the sixth level of foundation building, which was the limit of the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion he established using the verdant heart.


    a large, lush branch occupied the central position of the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion. the two branches split for the cultivation of divine manipulation technique have disappeared.


    thinking back to when the two branches of the jade-colored paulownia grew rapidly to perfection before he fell asleep, chen mobai suspected that he may have completed a god merging in his dreams.


    reflecting on what qing nu said about the ability of enlightenment tea to increase divine consciousness, chen mobai couldn¡¯t help but be amazed. he didn¡¯t expect the effect to be so great.


    no wonder it¡¯s the number one spirit plant of the immortal sect, when it¡¯s made into tea with leaves from the dalit tree.


    but after the surprise, chen mobai felt his rapidly increasing divine consciousness and new worries flooded his mind.


    the qi sea in his dantian had been shattered by the fruit of the everlife tree and he got rid of all the bottlenecks before the core formation. cultivating pure yang scroll only required a gathering of spiritual power, and he could directly reach the pinnacle of the foundation building.


    but the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion was different. the current sixth level of foundation building was already the limit after he developed it with the verdant heart. if he wanted to make further breakthroughs, he could only rely on his own efforts.


    however, it was well-known that even though the immortal sect divided the foundation establishment realm into nine levels, the bottleneck from the sixth to the seventh level was still the most difficult in this realm.


    who knows how long it will take to break through?


    but after sighing for a while, chen mobai pulled himself together.


    he believed he would break through someday. if he really could not rely on his internal forces, he would think of borrowing external forces when the time came.


    although the spiritual objects used to open the purple mansion are extremely rare and expensive, chen mobai believed that as long as his position in divine wood sect keeps rising, there must be a way.


    after all, the resources in the tianhe realm are abundant, and even if they are not in the eastern wilderness, they must exist in the vast world outside of the eastern wilderness.


    after tidying up the books and draft papers scattered around the room and putting them into his storage bag, chen mobai found something good.


    the calyx and stem of the dalit flower.


    the petals were already refined into the sea of knowledge at his purple mansion for consolidating his spirit and suppressing his heart demons. but the flower calyx and the stem did not work the same way.


    chen mobai opened his phone and called qing nu to ask how to deal with it.


    [i¡¯m not sure about that. after all, the dalit flower is extremely rare and i¡¯ve never had direct contact with it. you should ask elder sister wenren, she should know.]


    after listening to her, chen mobai asked wenren xuewei about it.


    [the biggest use of this is to graft other spirit plants, such as my snow mist tea, which is grafted onto the dalit tree after the branches are refined from the dalit flower to absorb the wood energy, and then planted in the quiet small realm for nurturing. of course, using it as material for alchemy is also possible. there are numerous alchemy formulas in the immortal sect that use it.]


    asking the right person this time, wenren xuewei informed chen mobai in detail on how to utilize the dalit flower stem and calyx, and finally sent chen mobai the link to her thesis on tea cultivation.


    however, this method is hard to replicate by others, after all, chen mobai couldn¡¯t possibly run to jumang daoist academy again for the sake of mere grafting.


    the jumang daoist academy might not even be willing to help.


    wenren xuewei was able to use the dalit tree to cultivate tea because she had formed her lasting spring cultivation. if chen mobai wanted to graft the stem to the dalit tree, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to break the bark of this number one spirit plant of the immortal sect.


    after chen mobai finished reading wenren xuewei¡¯s thesis on tea cultivation, he put the stem and calyx of the dalit flower back into the jade box, planning to use them for alchemy in the future.


    but just then, he suddenly thought of the three trees of everlife wood in the divine tree secret realm.


    could the stem and calyx of the dalit flower be grafted onto the everlife wood?


    or onto his own green paulownia seedling that had been cultivated for a long time?


    the three trees of everlife wood in the divine tree secret realm were rank-4 spirit wood. although they were far inferior to the dalit tree, they were equivalent to the jade paulownia of danxia city.


    perhaps he could harness the wood energy of the everlife wood, successfully graft it, and cultivate tea seeds?


    with this thought, could the rank-4 jade paulownia in danxia city also work¡­


    as chen mobai¡¯s thoughts towed the line of divergence, the stirrings within him seemed like a runaway horse. his thoughts became more profound and agile, much like how the residual effects of the enlightenment tea worked their magic in the sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    it was said that regular consumption of enlightenment tea would permanently enhance one¡¯s understanding. was this indeed why?


    his thoughts turned to the divine tree secret realm!


    chen mobai suddenly remembered he had released the devouring heaven serpent, inflated from devouring too many spirit stones, into the realm. he wondered how the creature was faring now.


    though keen to pay the realm a visit, the seven-day room rental he had was drawing to a close. moreover, the place he was in didn¡¯t feel like home, making it unfitting for him to vanish abruptly.


    after checking out, chen mobai made his way to the student council office.


    ¡°oh, you say that senior sister bian did not leave but has been in the treasure trove cultivating all this while.¡±


    inside the council office, chen mobai grew pensive upon hearing zhuang jialan¡¯s report. he remembered the words she had uttered during the dismissal dinner.


    ¡°yes, she had initially made a deal to return the true dragon ding to vice principal duanmu before her departure. nevertheless, the magic artifact has been incredibly beneficial to senior sister bian¡¯s training in the dragon transformation scripture technique. thus, she decided to temporarily step down from her duties at crimson city, planning to stay within the treasure trove for a few years.¡±


    ¡°did the daoist academy give an implicit agreement?¡±


    it felt as if bian jingchun was blatantly taking advantage of a loophole. in principle, the daoist academy definitely wouldn¡¯t tolerate it.


    ¡°if a teacher addresses the matter, then naturally it must be dealt with. but if no one brings up the issue, then everyone can pretend they know nothing about it.¡±


    the one who spoke was hua zijing. although she was no longer part of the student council, she frequented its office almost every day during her final moments at the daoist academy, claiming she was accustomed to the atmosphere.


    upon hearing her words, chen mobai recalled that bian jingchun¡¯s teacher was hong mengkui, the master of crimson city. before his tenure, he was the head of the taoist institute¡¯s artifact-refining department, a man with an extensive network.


    it was rumored that if it weren¡¯t for his voluntary departure from the academy, he could have landed a vice-principal position by now.


    ¡°if senior sister bian needs help, our student council should lend a hand.¡±


    chen mobai had gotten on rather well with bian jingchun. having one more powerful person in the treasure trove was good news for the student council.


    ¡°by the way, president, this is the list of new members who want to join us next year.¡±


    zhuang jialan handed chen mobai a prepared list of names. she had profoundly changed since she first joined the student council, showing a knack for official tasks.


    ¡°eh, how did these two get in together?¡±


    chen mobai skimmed the new list, glancing over the majority being from the metaphysical class and including zhongli tianyu, the future poster child of the council.


    however, the names of lan yufan and lu zixuan left him slightly miffed.


    ¡°is there a problem with these two? i find their resumes quite impressive, and they are geniuses from the 5012 class. lu zixuan was once considered your equal as the top beast tamer.¡±


    zhuang jialan, not of the metaphysical class circle, was unaware of the love-hate relationship between lan yufan and lu zixuan. but chen mobai knew fully well.


    ¡°wait a minute; i need to make a call.¡±


    he wouldn¡¯t want to place his good friend in an awkward spot. to avoid further awkwardness within the council in the future, he turned and walked over to the window to call lan yufan, informing him of the situation.


    ¡°ah, you¡¯re talking about that. i guess i forgot to inform you ¨C zixuan and i are back together. but she can¡¯t get past the embarrassment, so we didn¡¯t announce it. when she heard i was joining the student council, she insisted on joining too. now that you know, please don¡¯t let word get out.¡±


    chen mobai hung up, a speechless expression on his face.


    did the couple think they had discovered the ultimate path to cultivation?

    ¡°mr. president, should we revise the list?¡±


    zhuang jialan asked as he approached the window.


    ¡°no need, let¡¯s leave it as it is.¡±


    after saying this, chen mobai reviewed and approved the rest of the documents. by the time he returned to his small wooden hut, the sky had darkened.


    he clicked on turtle treasure and teleported to the divine tree secret realm to check on the devouring heaven serpent.

 Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_1

    chapter 563: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_1


    amidst the flickering silver light, chen mobai had already arrived at the divine tree secret realm.


    after skillfully activating the mysterious fog talisman, the sight in front of him made him somewhat stunned.


    in the area previously shrouded by fog, nearly half of the red-sun spirit trees had become bare, with only branches and trunk remaining.


    where were the leaves?


    just as he wondered this, a ray of xuan guang rushed towards chen mobai. he casually waved his hand, and the long-unused heavenly wood spirit light transformed into a light ball, enveloping the xuan guang.


    upon closer look, it was indeed the devouring heaven serpent.


    it was just that the corner of the serpent¡¯s mouth still held half a leaf that hadn¡¯t been fully consumed. the serpent was trapped within the heavenly wood spirit light, twisting and coiling around restlessly, but it couldn¡¯t break free at all.


    a vegetarian snake, it was the first time chen mobai had come across such a thing, and he couldn¡¯t help but marvel at it.


    putting the palm of his heavenly wood spirit light in front of him, he engaged his void spirit eye, examining this masterpiece of the ascension sect up and down carefully.


    after consuming the spirit stone he provided, the devouring heaven serpent had evolved into a true demonic beast. the fluctuation of its spiritual power had already reached the level of qi cultivation.


    perhaps due to its hunger during this period, and the fact it had eaten a significant amount of leaves, the flesh, blood and spiritual power of the devouring heaven serpent now contained traces of wood attribute.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t interfere. after confirming that the devouring heaven serpent could survive in this divine tree secret realm, he once again drew up an even broader mysterious fog talisman before releasing the slightly green serpent from his hand into it.


    ¡°i need to find a way to make a beast tamer contract with the devouring heaven serpent.¡±


    watching the white mist constantly generated and enclosed the area he had delineated, chen mobai was considering how to establish a mental connection with the devouring heaven serpent he had raised.


    however, he did not consider the beast tamer contracts within the immortal sects as the beast protection forces led by the kunpeng daoist institute advocate for the equal and harmonious coexistence of cultivators and spirit beasts. hence, there are no master-servant contracts.


    when lu qiulong fought chen mobai back then, in order to use his full strength, he was instead dissuaded by his spirit beast. this is because their relationship was one of equal friends.


    if this were in the tianhe realm, where there wasn¡¯t much nonsense, with a single command from the cultivator, the spirit beast would directly start fighting.


    given the dubious origins of the devouring heaven serpent, chen mobai thought it was better to use the spirit beast contract system from the tianhe realm.


    with this thought, he made his move.


    he clicked on his turtle treasure again and teleported to xiao nanshan.


    it was also time to go to divine wood city to watch his junior disciple¡¯s sect competition. chen mobai first sent a message talisman to chen mobai and other familiar friends, inviting them to gather.


    then chen mobai called over his senior disciple.


    ¡°wen bo, i remember that you are a disciple in the beast tamer department.¡±


    ¡°yes, teacher.¡±


    ¡°what does the sect say about entering a contract with spirit beasts?¡±


    liu wenbo immediately began to elaborate on the three types of contracts within the beast tamer department.


    ¡°normally, qi cultivation disciples would only sign the blood curse contract. as long as the spirit beast¡¯s strength doesn¡¯t exceed a big realm compared to the beast tamer, the contract can always be effective.¡±


    ¡°then there¡¯s the divine consciousness contract. this requires the cultivator to infuse a wisp of their divine consciousness into the sea of consciousness of the spirit beast. even if the realm exceeds, they can still have control.¡±


    ¡°the highest grade contract is the soul contract, but that requires the spirit beast and the cultivator to establish a mental connection and hold mutual trust. this is an unbreakable contract. however, both parties share triumph and defeat.¡±


    after listening, chen mobai immediately ruled out the soul contract, inquiring about the methods of the blood curse and divine consciousness contracts.


    liu wenbo immediately explained the key points of the blood curse contract, which was something he had learned from his family when he was young. however, because the divine consciousness contract was exchanged from the sect¡¯s book pavilion, it couldn¡¯t be disclosed according to the rules.


    however, this was a small matter for chen mobai.


    he immediately piloted the ¡°red misty cloud silk¡± and took his senior disciple to the book pavilion. with his foundation establishment cultivator status, he easily got the content of the divine consciousness contract.


    once he got what he wanted, chen mobai did not rush to return to the divine tree secret realm.


    he watched luo yixuan¡¯s sect competition in divine wood city with liu wenbo. just in time, he witnessed her using the dark water in combination with ice breath, defeating a fellow ninth-ranked qi cultivation sect disciple.


    ¡°not bad, you¡¯ve got some of my old flair.¡±


    seeing this scene, chen mobai looked pleased.


    when he used to cultivate qi, he fought demonic beasts on green light island and participated in the entrance exam in red sandstone city, he relied almost exclusively on his proficient cold ice technique.


    now, luo yixuan had inherited his true teachings of the cold ice technique. under the condition of not using rank-2 magic artifacts, she defeated her opponent, advancing into the twenty-four true transmissions ranking.


    at this moment, he couldn¡¯t help remembering how he had practiced the ice breath diligently under guidance of yan bingxuan.


    seeing luo yixuan on stage commanding the dark water to shape ice, moving as gracefully as a startled swan, chen mobai felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction as a mentor.


    ¡°teacher.¡±

    in no time, liu wenbo led zhuo ming and luo yixuan over. both girls showed surprise and delight at seeing him.


    ¡°xuan¡¯er, you did very well.¡±


    chen mobai commended her, and luo yixuan beamed, bowing slightly. pleasure was evident in her eyes.


    ¡°even though you were eliminated ming¡¯er, don¡¯t be too discouraged. aim to become a true transmission disciple within six years.¡±


    zhuo ming nodded, but she wasn¡¯t perturbed by the loss. having made it through three rounds before losing was already an improvement from her previous performances.

 Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_2

    chapter 564: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_2


    the group of four, master and disciples, didn¡¯t continue to watch the sect¡¯s grand competition, instead, they returned to chen mobai¡¯s courtyard in divine wood city.


    ¡°master, my next opponent is my brother,¡± luo yixuan randomly stated on the way back.


    ¡°luo yixiu?¡±


    chen mobai had almost forgotten about him. after the great battle at mountain shaker peak, luo shupin was proven to have not betrayed the sect, so luo yixiu was allowed to continue his cultivation within the divine wood sect.


    ¡°yes, our family will support him with at least one foundation building pill, they seem to be betting on his successful foundation establishment.¡±


    according to the customs in the tianhe realm, once luo yixuan became a disciple of xiao nanshan¡¯s lineage, it was as if she had gotten married. although she still had some emotional bonds with the luo family, they were far less than those with luo yixiu, the legitimate direct male descendant of the family.


    therefore, the luo family still invested resources in luo yixiu, hoping that after his successful foundation establishment, he could replace luo shupin and provide support for the family within the sect.


    ¡°in this competition, you don¡¯t need to hold back like before. give it your all and let everyone see how remarkable you are.¡±


    chen mobai understood luo yixuan¡¯s inner turmoil and told her not to worry, assuring her that he had her back.


    ¡°yes, master!¡±


    as expected, this made luo yixuan more cheerful.


    for the first half of her life, she had suppressed her own cultivation progress and compromised in everything for the sake of luo yixiu. the frustration of needing to pretend to be less competent than her brother had caused her character to become slightly distorted.


    fortunately, she met chen mobai, a good teacher, and under the simple and unpretentious influence of xiao nanshan¡¯s gate, she gradually turned into a normal female cultivator.


    however, luo yixiu had always been a thorn in her side.


    now, she could take advantage of this sect grand competition to finally resolve it.


    that night, chen mobai invited yuan chiye and yan jinye to reminisce about the past.


    e yun and yue zutao were still outside the sect, one guarding yun country and the other lei nation, neither had plans to return this year.


    another familiar new foundation establishment owner, yu lian, had also been sent on a secret mission by the sect. chen mobai had a vague idea of his task but didn¡¯t interfere.


    in addition to the three foundation establishment owners, chen mobai also invited qi rui, xi jinghuo, and other friends he had made during his qi cultivation period. everyone respected him greatly and all attended.


    zhuo ming brought out five jars of new wine. although they were all rank-1, the tastes were different, and everyone was satisfied.


    the next day, chen mobai led his two disciples to a teahouse to watch the match between luo yixuan and luo yixiu.


    at first, luo yixiu was full of confidence, because he had never lost to luo yixuan since childhood.


    even before the match, he was trying to persuade luo yixuan to admit defeat, so he wouldn¡¯t accidentally hurt her.


    in response to this, luo yixuan only had one thing to say.


    ¡°brother, actually, i¡¯ve been holding back all this time.¡±


    however, this truthful statement angered luo yixiu. he attacked first, wanting to prove that he was better than his sister with his strength.


    but reality was cruel. without using the divine wood sword, luo yixuan used the cold ice technique guided by chen mobai and broke through the three spells that made luo yixiu proud.


    ¡°how is this possible¡­¡±


    on the martial arts platform, after being defeated by luo yixuan, luo yixiu was left in disbelief. he gave a dazed look and mumbled to himself, unable to believe that his position as the first in the family for over two decades was actually due to his sister¡¯s leniency.


    ¡°brother, from now on, i won¡¯t let you win again.¡±


    after saying these words, luo yixuan simply turned around and left the martial arts platform.


    at that moment, luo yixuan felt that the dark cloud that had oppressed her since childhood finally dissipated.


    she had never felt so relaxed and at ease. it was as if her divine sense and body had been freed, floating leisurely in the clear river, enjoying the freedom of flowing to the endless sea.


    with an unprecedentedly relaxed look, luo yixuan arrived at the teahouse.


    upon reaching the second floor, luo yixuan saw her smiling master sitting by the window.


    he was her guiding light, the sun that dispelled all her darkness!


    ¡°master, i won.¡±


    luo yixuan couldn¡¯t believe her own voice, it was full of a lightness and coquettishness that she had never dared to show in her previous life. it seemed as if she was showing off her achievements to the most important person and eagerly sought his approval.


    the feeling was akin to when she, as a child, proudly told her mother that she had surpassed her brother in terms of cultivation. however, at that time it resulted in a slap from her mother.


    her mother had personally hit her, reducing her cultivation level.


    she even coldly warned her to never surpass luo yixiu.


    even though luo yixuan knew her mother did it for her own good, she could never forget that slap. it didn¡¯t hurt physically, but it hurt her heart deeply.

    ¡°you did very well, i am very pleased.¡±


    chen mobai¡¯s simple words made luo yixuan feel a completely different life.


    here, she was no longer suppressed. she could fully unleash her talent without fear of being targeted for her beauty and exceptional talent, like her mother, as a tool for reproduction and purchased.


    ¡°master, let me pour you some tea.¡±


    luo yixuan happily ran over, picked up the teapot on the table, and filled chen mobai¡¯s cup. of course, she also didn¡¯t forget liu wenbo and zhuo ming.

 Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_3

    chapter 565: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_3


    ¡°little junior sister¡¯s talent far surpasses us both.¡±


    liu wenbo took a sip of tea offered by luo yixuan, and as he recalled her ever-changing cold ice technique on the stage, he couldn¡¯t help but sincerely admire her.


    he felt even in his prime, he might not be a match for luo yixuan.


    ¡°yes, and i wonder when i¡¯ll achieve qi cultivation perfection.¡±


    zhuo ming, who was sitting alongside, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. she always considered herself as the one with the least talent amongst xiao nanshan lineage.


    she was able to become a disciple of chen mobai due to good luck. she pledged herself to him during their time in small yang ridge, and during liu wenbo¡¯s induction, she took the opportunity to kneel and kowtow, which led to chen mobai, who was lacking disciples, reluctantly accepting her.


    she completely agreed with liu wenbo¡¯s words.


    to her, in the xiao nanshan lineage, their master, chen mobai, was a peerless sword cultivation genius. since the divine wood sect splintered, he could even be considered one of a kind in the entire history of the five elements sect.


    next is their little junior sister luo yixuan. not only was she quick-witted, but her talent was also probably second only to their master and yu lian, who had already reached foundation establishment.


    then there¡¯s the senior brother, a genius in cultivation, with a strong family background as support.


    compared with the other brilliant people of xiao nanshan lineage, zhuo ming felt very ordinary, even somewhat inferior, which is why she really devoted herself to the things she was good at¡ªfarming, brewing wine, and looking after the shop.


    in her view, this was the only way to repay chen mobai for his teachings.


    ¡°ming, you should continue your cultivation step by step. i assure you, in six years, you¡¯ll be a true disciple and you¡¯ll receive a foundation building pill.¡±


    seeing zhuo ming¡¯s lack of self-confidence, and knowing that in the xiao nanshan lineage she has the most outstanding innate spiritual root value, chen mobai could not help but reassure her.


    it has to be said, in the eyes of his three disciples, chen mobai had a very high status already. so his reassuring words instilled much confidence in zhuo ming, she clenched her small fists and cheered herself on.


    ¡°wenbo and ming, help me prepare some good wines, after the sect competition is over, xuan and i will pay a visit to the sect leader and others.¡±


    the year was coming to an end, and all aspects needed to be taken care of.


    chen mobai was to assume the role of guard of the founding nation at the start of the next year. although he wouldn¡¯t need to leave the sect, the fact that he had this role was thanks to the effort of people like chu zuoshu, he would certainly need to give them a gift in return.


    in the ensuing main sect competition, luo yixuan, having resolved her internal struggles, made rapid progress. she finished in the top six out of twelve, then in the top three out of the six. after two more rounds, she ranked amongst the top three true disciples!


    regrettably, she lost to the other two in the finals, merely claiming third place.


    however, with this result alone, chen mobai was already very satisfied.


    the reason she achieved this was mainly due to mu yuan and yu lian¡¯s successful foundation establishment, along with li yixian¡¯s failure to reach foundation establishment last year which caused him not to participate after getting injured. this led to a decline in the overall quality of the sect¡¯s competitive performance this year.


    nevertheless, after this competition, luo yixuan¡¯s name became known to all qi practitioners in the divine wood sect.


    she was the only female cultivator in the top three!


    luo yixuan was a beautiful woman, with outstanding cultivation skills, and a strong background.


    all at once, this little junior sister from xiao nanshan became the dream of many qi practitioners in the divine wood sect.


    when chen mobai took luo yixuan to visit chu zuoshu, fu huakun, zeng woyou, weng chuanyou, xi yisheng, and sun gaochang, surprisingly, these senior figures of the three halls and twelve departments all pleasantly exchanged a few words with her.


    xi yisheng even secretly sent chen mobai a message asking if he could arrange a matchmaking between xi jinghuo and luo yixuan.


    in response, chen mobai tactfully suggested letting it happen naturally. he wouldn¡¯t interfere with the younger generation¡¯s choices, as long as they agreed on the matter themselves.


    xi jinghuo was also a good friend of chen mobai. however, based on his understanding of his friend, he was a person dedicated to sword training.


    approximately half a month later, chen mobai finished visiting all the foundation establishment cultivators he was friendly with along with luo yixuan.


    in that time, zeng woyou was in seclusion helping two ancestors concoct a batch of pills and didn¡¯t get to meet him, but the fact that chen mobai had visited was a gesture in itself.


    for those he was not familiar with, such as the sword training department leader xie yuntian, although he didn¡¯t visit personally, he had luo yixuan make a trip to each and deliver two jars of fine wine.


    no one dislikes receiving gifts.


    after making the rounds, just as chen mobai was planning to return to xiao nanshan, an unexpected guest arrived for a visit.


    ¡°i am li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng. i have long admired your reputation, brother chen. having just completed my duties at the shenmu hall, the sect leader asked me to visit and discuss with you regarding the handover of the town guard position of jian country.¡±


    li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng was a scholarly-looking individual with an impressive goatee on his chin.


    ¡°so it¡¯s brother liu, i should be the one to visit you.¡±


    this man was the current town guard of jian country, and anyone who could hold this position must have an extraordinary background.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    he was an official disciple of fu zongjue and was going to become the inspector of the spirit beast department after this visit. the previous inspector had been injured in a battle with the shake mountain and felt that his time was running out, so he voluntarily resigned.


    within the divine wood sect, those who could hold senior positions in the three halls and twelve departments were basically astute individuals who understood social settings.


    li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng taking the initiative to visit goes without saying, he wanted to establish a connection with chen mobai.


    luo yixuan immediately went to the xiao nanshan shop, fetched two jars of good wine from zhuo ming, and poured the wine.


    ¡°regarding the seven cultivator families and five fang markets of jian country, this pretty much summarizes their conditions. if you want to make it easier, brother chen, you can just tour each market and inspect the sect¡¯s shops. the people of the seven major families will come forward to express their intentions.¡±

 Chapter 566 - Chapter 566: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_4

    chapter 566: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_4


    liu ruzhong subtly suggested that after all, jian country was the main base of the divine wood sect. the seven major clans had to respect the divine wood sect, but they also had intricately interwoven relationships with various sects. however, each of them would provide annual offerings to the town guard.


    ¡°among them, the fu family belongs to the family of the old ancestor fu, and the wang family was left by the disciples of the old ancestor zhou who passed away. in front of these two old ancestors, they both have certain graces.¡±


    before leaving, liu ruzhong specially reminded chen mobai.


    ¡°thank you, elder brother liu, for clearing up my doubts.¡±


    when chen mobai saw off liu ruzhong, he specifically asked luo yixuan to bring two jars of wine.


    ¡°master, when are you going to inspect the fang market?¡±


    when only master and disciple were left, luo yixuan asked curiously.


    ¡°some time after the beginning of the year, perhaps.¡±


    chen mobai had no regard for the offerings from the seven major clans, as liu ruzhong had mentioned that, according to the rules, each clan would give the town guard a hundred spirit stones every year. but this amount was something he was starting to take lightly.


    chen mobai, who has loved to watch the immortal cultivation riches program since childhood, is well aware that if he wants to be rich, he should engage in commerce.


    he is going to create his own puppet factory and develop the resources of the divine tree secret realm.


    in the beginning of next year, hua zijing is leaving due to graduation and many newcomers have joined the student council. therefore, his presence will be required for a while.


    aside from these matters, he also wants to find a way to cultivate, to see if he can break through the bottleneck of the mid-peak of his divine consciousness foundation establishment.


    fortunately, thanks to the enlightenment tea, he is already well-prepared for the rank-2 talisman maker assessment of the immortal gate. otherwise, he would have to find time to review talisman-making.


    at this time, liu wenbo and zhuo ming also came over. they were cleaning up this year¡¯s account books at the south mountain shop and were also checking the stock of spiritual rice and wine.


    ¡°so, wen bo, next year you will accompany me to inspect the five major fang markets in jian country. you come from a cultivation family and are familiar with the ways here. after the inspection, you will represent me and communicate with the seven major clans.¡±


    ¡°disciple is afraid that he might not be able to do well.¡±


    ¡°just be fair and impartial. you are a reliable person. i believe you can do well.¡±


    his eldest disciple chen mobai doesn¡¯t have significant advantages, but his steady character makes him the most suitable among the three disciples for this job.


    zhuo ming is too naive, while luo yixuan is too clever.


    ¡°yes, disciple will definitely live up to master¡¯s expectations.¡±


    in this way, the three disciples inherited three parts of chen mobai¡¯s power.


    liu wenbo focused on external matters, replacing him in dealing with jian country and possibly other countries in the eastern wilderness in the future; luo yixuan took care of internal affairs, and in these two years, she visited the upper echelons of the three palaces and twelve departments of the sect, and basically everyone accepted her as chen mobai¡¯s spokesperson.


    as for zhuo ming, he was still in charge of xiao nanshan, training him as an heir to farming under his guidance.


    after settling all the matters in divine wood city, chen mobai left his three disciples behind, using the excuse of gaining some enlightenment in his cultivation, he returned to xiao nanshan for closed-door cultivation.


    before leaving, he asked mu yuan about the situation of the former sect leader, meng hong.


    however, since he isolated himself for core formation, no one knew his situation anymore. they could only wait for the sign of successful core formation to get a glimpse of the truth.


    chen mobai could only sigh and leave divine wood city.


    divine tree secret realm!


    chen mobai used the heavenly wood spirit light to confine the devouring heaven serpent in his palm. afterward, with a burst of sword qi from his fingertip, he cut a small wound and a drop of his essence blood fell out.


    the devouring heaven serpent, while munching the leaves, curiously watched chen mobai¡¯s actions.


    after several unsuccessful resistances, it had now developed a conditioned reflex to give up resistance whenever it saw the heavenly wood spirit light, letting chen mobai do as he pleased.

    the essence blood from his fingertip fell, landing on the forehead of the devouring heaven serpent.


    simultaneously, a leaf from the jade-green phoenix tree in the sea of knowledge at chen mobai¡¯s purple mansion emerged, mixed into the essence blood, and seeped into the chaotic and dark sea of knowledge at the purple mansion of the devouring heaven serpent.


    with his foundation establishment realm, forming a blood curse and a divine consciousness contract with a mere qi cultivation stage spirit beast was as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.


    upon completion, he found that he could now decide the life and death of the devouring heaven serpent at a thought.


    this little black snake, whether in body or in consciousness, now bore his marks.

 Chapter 567 - Chapter 567: Chapter 375 Taiyi Wuyanluo_1

    Chapter 567: Chapter 375 Taiyi Wuyanluo_1


    After returning from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai was handling student council affairs while taking exams for his core and elective courses.


    His good friend, Ming Yuhua, also returned two days earlier.


    After the exams, Ming Yuhua immediately gathered everyone from the Metaphysical Class for a drinking party.


    ¡°Old Ming, where did you go to refine your Magic Artifacts this time? We haven¡¯t heard your bragging for a whole year.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, who had just achieved Foundation Establishment, also attended this party. He curiously asked Ming Yuhua, knowing well his friend¡¯s boastful and ostentatious character.


    ¡°I can¡¯t tell, I signed a non-disclosure agreement.¡±


    Ming Yuhua wore a vexed expression, seemingly not wanting to recall his experience of following his tutor this time.


    When everyone heard the words ¡°non-disclosure agreement¡±, they roughly understood what was going on and all tactfully changed the subject.


    ¡°Brother, are you free recently? I managed to grab some Clear Wind Evil from the Celestial Gate website a few days ago. I¡¯m thinking of refining it into the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ to enhance the power of this Magic Artifact.¡±


    After the party, Chen Mobai, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing gathered for another round in their small circle.


    ¡°Clear Wind Evil? Old Chen, you¡¯re lucky, you actually managed to get this item. Is it Rank-1 or Rank-2?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ming Yuhua¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Clear Wind Evil is the most common type of Evil Qi in the Celestial Gate, formed when Spiritual Energy blows through the forest and mixes with the wood element. It is a type of Earth Evil Qi.


    Usually at places rich in forest vegetation, the Celestial Gate sets up formations to cultivate Clear Wind Evil.


    However, since it¡¯s also Earth Evil Qi, the demand always overshoots the supply despite the price being controlled by the Celestial Gate. It¡¯s always snapped up once it goes on sale.


    ¡°Just average luck, I only managed to grab Rank-1.¡±


    Chen Mobai originally obtained Earth Evil Qi from Rolling Thunder Mountain by chance. Among them, he could refine the Rank-2 ones into Five Elements Sword Sha, but he intended to refine the remaining Rank-1 Clear Wind Evil and Peach Blossom Evil into Magic Artifacts to enhance their power.


    Among these, as Clear Wind Evil was extensively circulated in the Celestial Gate, it could be brought out openly.


    Peach Blossom Evil is a type of miasma that¡¯s born only in peach blossom groves. Although there are channels to artificially synthesize it within the Celestial Gate, as its use is narrow, basically no one cultivates it actively. It had not been traded in the market for several years, hence Chen Mobai did not bring it out.


    ¡°This is easy, but I have to return home this year, so it might have to wait till the start of school next year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua confidently patted his chest, saying it was a small matter. He had already passed the examinations for Rank-2 Artifact Refiner and Treasure Appraiser a few years earlier. This year, after going out for training with the major troops of the Refining Implement Department, he had even more confidence to pass the assessment for Rank-3 Artifact Refiner.


    However, since the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ is also a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, re-refining it to upgrade it is more troublesome than creating a new one, hence there was need to make use of various equipment from the Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department. Ming Yuhua¡¯s family did not have these facilities.


    ¡°Thanks, brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not say much more and raised his glass in thanks.


    ¡°We¡¯re brothers, there¡¯s no need for formalities. Just send me a couple more jars of good wine next year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was generous and warm-hearted, and had a good relationship with everyone in the Metaphysical Class.


    ¡°Fine, next year I¡¯ll send you the best wine from my hometown.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that next year, there would be a new batch of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine fermenting in Xiao Nanshan, he could then send some of it to Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ should be one part of our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s most comprehensive Rank-4 Magic Artifact ¡®Taiyi Wuyanluo¡¯. Our Array Department Head had lectured about this during a public class. It uses ¡®Red Mist¡¯, ¡®Fresh Wind¡¯, ¡®Water Mist¡¯, ¡®Jade Dew¡¯, ¡®Smoke Stream¡¯, five different states of the Five Element Spiritual Energy to unify and transform the instrument into a formation, combining offense and defense, with unlimited power.¡±


    Yunyang Bing, who was sitting to the side, remembered a lesson that he had taken after the conversation turned towards the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯, so he couldn¡¯t help chiming in.


    ¡°Given the current situation of the Celestial Gate, it¡¯s basically impossible to refine the complete Taiyi Wuyanluo. At most, it¡¯s just like Old Chen, refining the Clear Wind Evil into it.¡±


    Ming Yuhua knew about this as well, after all, it was one of the signature Magic Artifacts of the Dance Tools Dao Academy. However, as a genius of the Refining Implement Department, he was more familiar with the difficulties involved.


    The refinement of Taiyi Wuyanluo doesn¡¯t just involve the five types of Elemental Spiritual Energy¡¯s transition through different states.


    For instance, if Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ was intermediate-grade Rank-2, by refining in a large amount of Rank-2 Clear Wind Evil, you could upgrade it to a higher-grade Rank-2, or even peak.


    But if you want to upgrade it to Rank-3, not only would you need to find Rank-3 spirit material, Water Mist Ice Crystal, but you would also need to upgrade the existing ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ and Clear Wind Evil to Rank-3 as well.


    That is to say, if you want to refine the complete Taiyi Wuyanluo, you would need at least five types of Rank-4 materials: Red Mist, Fresh Wind, Water Mist, Jade Dew, and Smoke Stream.


    Given the resource situation on Earth Origin Star, not even a Nascent Soul cultivator could necessarily gather them all.

    However, Dance Tools Dao Academy had many talents. Someone thought of decomposing Taiyi Wuyanluo, making it a formation to emulate the power of a Magic Artifact.


    By transforming the five forms of Elemental Spiritual Energy into five Array Flags, the force of the Taiyi Wuyanluo is simulated. The power of this formation depends on the grade of the Array Flags, and it could be made from Rank-1 to Rank-4.


    Chen Mobai had only heard of Taiyi Wuyanluo but did not know that it could be disintegrated into a formation.


    He quietly remembered Yunyang Bing¡¯s words in his heart.


    If he encounters these materials in the Tianhe realm in the future, he can consider gathering them.

 Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: 375

    Chapter 568: 375


    After the Metaphysical Class gathering ended, Chen Mobai¡¯s seven-year tenure at the Dance Tool Dao Academy also came to an end.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be coming next year.¡±


    In the student council, Hua Zijing waved at everyone with a seemingly carefree air.


    ¡°You¡¯ve done a lot for the past two years.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at her, genuinely thanked her from the bottom of his heart. Without her substantial assistance, it would have been impossible for him to take over the student council so effortlessly.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    After saying these two words, Hua Zijing seemed unable to stay any longer and immediately turned to leave.


    ¡°President, will we ever see Sister Hua again?¡±


    Zhuang Jialan¡¯s eyes were brimming with tears. Her emotions were more intense than Hua Zijing¡¯s and she didn¡¯t have the same control. Seeing the senior who has shown her the ropes of the student council for a year graduating, she couldn¡¯t hold back her tears.


    ¡°We will, as long as we live long enough, there¡¯ll always be a day we meet again.¡±


    Chen Mobai cracked a small smile. After calming the emotions of his subordinates, he plunged back into his work.


    ¡°Is there anything I can help with?¡±


    The one asking was Zhongli Tianyu. He thought being the student council president was a cool thing, so he was prepared to strive to become a competent head.


    ¡°Stick with me.¡±


    As soon as Hua Zijing graduated, Chen Mobai felt the work pressure double. So, he planned to quickly groom Zhongli Tianyu and then, like Zuo Qiushi, step down to allow the more capable candidate to take over.


    For the following half month, Chen Mobai led the student council members in various faculties and started collaborating with teachers to prepare for the next year¡¯s teaching plan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be counting on you guys.¡±


    After all the tasks were done, Chen Mobai bid farewell to the student council members who stayed behind in the academy.


    In Red Sandstone City, his talisman factory still had some important documents waiting for his signatures.


    ¡°Mr. Chen, if you have no objections to the terms, please sign here.¡±


    In the Xianmen Bank of Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai signed another loan agreement.


    This time, the Good Deed Points he planned to loan was still 5 million. Coupled with the 5 million used to purchase the Spirit Pill from the Life Extension Cultivation Institute, he was now saddled with a huge debt of 10 million Good Deed Points.


    This loan did not have any collateral. It was only under the name of Chen Mobai.


    If he wasn¡¯t the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the top Rank-2 Foundation Establishment cultivator and had City Lord Qin Baipeng as his guarantee, he may not have been able to get this loan.


    ¡°Thanks for the guarantee, City Lord.¡±


    After leaving Xianmen Bank, Chen Mobai thanked Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°This is just a policy of Red Sandstone City for Foundation Establishment cultivators. When Wu Shangru moved here, he received the same treatment; it¡¯s just that your loan amount is slightly larger.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood what Qin Baipeng meant. After thanking him again, he tried to invite the city lord for a meal, but was politely declined.


    ¡°At the end of the year, there are other Foundation Establishment cultivators applying for loans. I also need to visit several factories.¡±


    Not every Foundation Establishment cultivator who runs a business in Red Sandstone City is successful. There are also quite a few who are losing money.


    However, this loss might be an actual loss, or it might be a case where the factory is losing but the owner¡¯s wallet is getting fatter.


    So Qin Baipeng needed to examine these potentially problematic factories.


    The reason why Chen Mobai¡¯s personal loan of 5 million was supported by Qin Baipeng was because of his high profile.


    As the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy, his match with Jumang Daoist Academy had beaten all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xianmen, this achievement was being recognised as the Qualification of Deification by many people.


    Moreover, this was the first time Chen Mobai asked for Red Sandstone City¡¯s support after settling down. Plus, Qin Baipeng had promised earlier. Considering these conditions, Qin Baipeng agreed to help him secure a loan totaling 5 million Good Deed Points.


    You must know, for other Foundation Establishment cultivators, the maximum limit was only 2 million Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai kept Qin Baipeng¡¯s generous act in his heart.


    With the loan in hand, plus the remaining profit of 800,000 Good Deed Points from this year¡¯s talisman factory, in total, he had startup capital of 5.8 million.


    The preparation for the Puppet Factory could now begin.


    He first dialed Chai Lun who was his senior in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and had guided him in creating performance puppets. After graduation, he opened a puppet factory in his hometown and reportedly made a lot of Good Deed Points in the hobby figurines industry.


    However, what Chen Mobai approached him for was a proper puppet manufacturing contract.


    As one of the geniuses who graduated from the Puppet Lines, Chai Lun was quite interested in a puppet factory. After receiving the call, he agreed to come over in person to negotiate this business deal.


    Next, Chen Mobai started purchasing the core of the Puppet Factory.


    ¡°Hello, Senior Lou, I¡¯m Chen Mobai¡­¡±


    At the Repairing Heaven Institute, Lou Fengcheng, who had just removed his full-body bandages and recovered from his burns, was speechless as he put down the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    How thick-faced can this Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s head be?


    After beating myself up like this, he still had the nerve to call me for help!


    Lou Fengcheng wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but on second thought, it would be better not to hold a grudge against this formidable character. He just happened to help him buy a second rank Heavenly Calculation Bead, which would facilitate resolving potential conflicts in the future.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Shi. I have a ¡®friend¡¯ who wants to buy a Rank-2 Heavenly Calculation Bead, does your academy have one in stock?¡±


    One day later, Chen Mobai saw the link to the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s flagship store¡¯s order payment sent by Lou Fengcheng, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.

 Chapter 569 - Chapter 569: Chapter 375 The Five Smoke Nets of Taiyi_3

    Chapter 569: Chapter 375 The Five Smoke Nets of Taiyi_3


    ¡°What¡¯s going on, you¡¯re smiling so broadly?¡±


    Eating fish, Yan Bingxuan looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°I managed to buy a Heavenly Calculation Bead.¡±


    ¡°Is it the Heavenly Calculation Bead from the Repairing Heaven Institute? The chairperson of our department always wanted to buy one but could never get it.¡±


    The one who spoke these words was Shi Jingjing. Today was Chen Mobai¡¯s high school classmate reunion, though only enough people for one table turned up. Most of them didn¡¯t return to Red Sandstone City; some were there but didn¡¯t come.


    Those who did come were Yan Bingxuan, Cao Yaling, Shi Jingjing, Lu Hongsheng, Pu Jiangxue, Yu Shu, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing.


    Song Zheng and Mo Simin didn¡¯t come back, otherwise, given their relationship with Chen Mobai, they would certainly be here too.


    ¡°I managed to buy it thanks to some connections. I met a friend during a competition at the Jumang Daoist Academy. As the old saying goes, ¡®the more friends, the more paths¡¯. Which really came into play here.¡±


    If people from the Repairing Heaven Institute heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, they definitely wouldn¡¯t believe him.


    During the competition on the island in the lake, Lou Fengcheng was Chen Mobai¡¯s most unfortunate opponent, hit head-on by the Sword Sha. The fiery poison entered his body, and after returning, he lay down for over a month to recover.


    ¡°Cao, today¡¯s event is mainly to congratulate you on your successful Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his drink in his hand, wishing Cao Yaling well. Of everyone from their Fifth High School, time revealed who was truly the best.


    After Chen Mobai, the second to establish his foundation was the most talented.


    ¡°It¡¯s just good luck. Yuanqing has also understood the law of the boundary, so he should be able to establish his foundation next year.¡±


    Cao Yaling spoke with a light smile. She had always been quiet. If she were with Shi Jingjing, she could remain silent the whole day because the latter would say everything for her.


    ¡°Sigh, while everyone is discussing Foundation Establishment, I¡¯m already considering military service.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, with the lowest cultivation level still stuck in the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation without a hint of Divine Sense, had a miserable look on his face. With only three years left, he could never establish his foundation. As a male cultivator, he was obliged to serve ten years of military service.


    ¡°That¡¯s how I feel too. But I¡¯m also considering whether I should just get married after graduation.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s pretty desk mate Yu Shu sighed too. She was at the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation and wanted to progress further in her cultivation, but military service was tough on women, and she was fearful.


    The topic turned to military service, and the rest began discussing their various pieces of information.


    Except for Shi Yuanqing, who was confident he could establish his foundation before graduation, everyone else was somewhat uneasy and had considered the issue of military service.


    Chen Mobai noticed Yan Bingxuan quietly eating the grilled fish he brought over and felt a sudden unease in his heart.


    ¡°Has your Ice Spirit Root not fully upgraded yet?¡±


    After everyone left, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan were on their way back as he voiced his uncertainty.


    Back in the same class, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Spiritual Root Value was the highest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°A Spiritual Root can always upgrade as long as it hasn¡¯t reached 100.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan replied calmly as she they walked.


    ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I meant to ask. Are you confident in establishing your foundation?¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s direct question, Yan Bingxuan stopped walking. She looked up, their eyes met, and she shook her head.


    ¡°I¡¯m not confident, perhaps I¡¯m not talented enough. I still haven¡¯t understood the law of the boundary.¡±

 Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_1

    Chapter 570: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_1


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, within the Immortal Sect, there are not a few cultivators who have successfully undergone Foundation Establishment at the edge of the boundary.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke to comfort Yan Bingxuan, as he had the example of Lu Zixuan by his side.


    ¡°Mmm.¡±


    In response, Yan Bingxuan only nodded her head.


    Chen Mobai saw her calm expression, and was somewhat unable to grasp her thoughts. However, he felt that he should do something for this old classmate. After all, she played an indispensable role in his victory in the entrance examination back then.


    ¡°Send me your personal template, and I¡¯ll use Foundation Establishment Treasure to calculate your success rate.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s eyes flickered, hesitating with her normally cold demeanor, but still nodded in the end, taking out her phone and pushing her panel data to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°By the way, I have a featureless puppet that can simulate the process of a cultivator¡¯s Qi Cultivation for Foundation Establishment. However, your physical model data is needed. When you are free, let me take a shot with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yan Bingxuan¡¯s complexion change slightly, clearly she was aware of the value of the featureless puppet.


    ¡°This is too valuable.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan couldn¡¯t help but speak. Although the opportunities provided by the Foundation Establishment Treasure were limited within the Immortal Sect, she, as a student of the Nature Studies Academy, had managed to apply for a chance three years ago. Unfortunately, the results of the calculation were not ideal, she only had a 28% success rate.


    The featureless puppet compared to the Foundation Establishment Treasure, was currently the most detailed and complete tool for Foundation Establishment. It was the best chance for Qi Practitioners to understand various issues of their own Foundation Establishment, apart from the boundary method.


    However, the number of featureless puppets was limited. Out of the four major Daoist Academies, only the Dance Tool and Jumang Academies could guarantee a usage opportunity for each person, while the other two, Kunpeng and Patching Heaven, required queuing up.


    For the top ten academies, only the core students of the chief talent level could allow the academy to ask the four major Daoist Institutes to borrow a featureless puppet.


    ¡°Compared to you serving in the military, and us not seeing each other for ten years, I would rather see you successfully establish your foundation.¡±


    Listening to these words, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s expression fluctuated a bit and then she asked a question.


    ¡°Are you so sure that if I fail the Foundation Establishment, I would serve in the military and not just get married and have children?¡±


    ¡°You are not such a weak person.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, making Yan Bingxuan¡¯s mouth curve upwards into a smile.


    The two said goodbye at the intersection and parted ways.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai first went to Xiao Nanshan, then logged into the Foundation Treasure with his minor account, the Turtle Immortal. As he entered Yan Bingxuan¡¯s personal panel data, he found that these details were excessively detailed.


    It even included her three measurements!


    No wonder the beautiful Yan was a bit hesitant back then.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t see it coming, she actually has such dimensions¡­¡±


    After reading, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look shocked. If the data is true, this would be the largest size he has ever encountered. How did Yan Bingxuan conceal this size normally? He had never noticed it!


    The results of the Foundation Establishment Treasure¡¯s simulation came out quickly and after selecting the Foundation Establishment Trifecta, Yan Bingxuan had a 32% success rate.


    It¡¯s just a pity that Yan Bingxuan has an Ice Spirit Root, which conflicts with the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, the foundation establishment spirit object of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Without the aid of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, the efficacy of the Jade Marrow Pill is merely average.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then logged into the Auxiliary Cultivation software with his minor account. He used his superior permissions to search for posts about Ice Spirit Root Foundation Establishment.


    He really found quite a few.


    In addition to the Foundation Establishment Trifecta, if you can get either ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± or ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡±, it could further increase the success rate by about 10%.


    Chen Mobai searched these two items.


    ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± is a rank-2, top-grade elixir. As there are not many cultivators with Ice Spirit Root, the Immortal Sect will schedule a production only when there are a sufficient number of reservations. The reason Yan Bingxuan had not attempted Foundation Establishment over the years was because she was waiting for this spirit water.


    ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡± is a spirit material of Heaven and Earth. It can be used in Taiyi Five Smoke Luo and can be synthesized or naturally generated.


    However, the synthesized ones are only of rank-1. For the Foundation Establishment of Ice Spirit Root, rank-2 is the best. Anything higher isn¡¯t suitable, as Qi Practitioners won¡¯t be able to withstand it.


    This material can usually only be obtained in the extremely cold sea territories at the poles of the Earth Origin Star, and to reach these areas, one can either be a Gold Core cultivator or take a scheduled trip once every twenty years on the treasure ship.


    After reading the contents of the posts, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    With his current abilities, obtaining these two materials from the Immortal Sect is near impossible.


    But he could try looking in the Tianhe Realm, to see if there was any ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡± available.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among the seven factions in the Eastern Wilderness, there was the Snow-blowing Palace located in a region of thousands of miles of snow and ice. It might have this material, but it wasn¡¯t clear if it was also referred to as ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡±. He needed to research more related materials when he had the time.


    He hoped that Yan Bingxuan could get the ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± before she graduated.


    As he pondered, Chen Mobai took out the Camel Fat Ointment made by Qing Nu. Using Divine Sense to manipulate the object, he spread five spoonfuls over his right hand fingers.


    The intense burning sensation was like a needle prick, reminding him that the medicated ointment was working, continuously strengthening the tendons, bones, and flesh on his fingers.


    Once he had used up this jar of ointment, the strength of Chen Mobai¡¯s entire right hand and palm would be upgraded to a level that could withstand the Five Elements Slaughter Formation.

 Chapter 571 - Chapter 571: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_2

    Chapter 571: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_2


    Since returning from Jumang Daoist Academy, he had begun to refine and enhance his right palm. By the time school starts, the strength of his five fingers should be about right.


    After today¡¯s refining, Chen Mobai looked at his reddened fingers, where veins beneath the skin were vaguely visible, and a smile crossed his face.


    The feeling of constant improvement always gave him a great sense of accomplishment, no matter when.


    After refining the Five Elements Sword Finger, Chen Mobai took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and began cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Over the years, apart from taking the Tree Fruit at critical times, he would practice the Pure Yang Daoist Body every day as long as he had enough time, tirelessly day and night.


    Experience proved that diligence always pays off.


    Today, as Chen Mobai absorbed half of the Spirit Stone in his palm, a ray of Xuan Guang symbolizing Water Spirit Root and emerald light representing Wood Spirit Root suddenly lit up within him. At the precise moment when these two lights flickered, a wisp of reddish golden flame representing Fire crawled up, engulfing the Wood and Water Spiritual Roots in accordance with the symbiotic sequence of the Five Elements.


    Subsequently, the Fire Spirit Root at his heart dazzled brighter, as if fuel had been added to it.


    Amid the crackling sound!


    A crevice unexpectedly split open on the Spirit Stone in his palm, and the pure spiritual energy contained within it surged into Chen Mobai¡¯s body like a flowing stream, flowing into the internal organs where the Five Elements Spiritual Root was located.


    After several cycles, the glow of Chen Mobai¡¯s Fire Spirit Root at his heart shone brighter than ever before.


    One long breath later, all the Spiritual Root radiances dimmed down, and the light inside the log cabin returned to normal.


    Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes. Two red circles suddenly appeared in his brightly gleaming eyes, like rings of fire encircling his pupils.


    This was a change due to the sudden enhancement of his Spiritual Root. But soon after, the red rings vanished from his eyes.


    With his current realm, he already had control over these changes.


    Chen Mobai took out the Spirit-Testing Instruments and poured in his spiritual power; shortly, his most recent Spiritual Root Value appeared before his eyes.


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 72, Earth 10]


    Seeing the Fire at 72, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily in the deserted mountain-top cabin in Xiao Nanshan.


    Now, he could finally say he was a true genius.


    Only he knew how many resources and efforts it took to reach this step today.


    It had been seven and a half years since Chi Robe of Red Sandstone City pointed him on how to convert the Five Elements Cultivation into Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll. Which meant he had spent that much time on the Pure Yang Daoist Body as well.


    With daily uninterrupted Spirit Stone infusions he finally advanced the Pure Yang Daoist Body to the Five Yang Body Realm.


    Only one more step was needed to reach the Six Yang required for Core Formation.


    Once the Six Yang Body was cultivated, his Fire Spirit Root could break through 80 and become the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root which he dreamed about.


    Although a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivated postnatally is not as good as the Innate one, it¡¯s helpful for Core Formation. More importantly, now whenever Chen Mobai practices any Fire Attribute cultivation technique or spell, it feels like he gets twice the result with half the effort.


    This must be what it feels like to be a genius.


    After the joy, Chen Mobai felt slightly bored. He calculated the time it took for him to move from Four Yang to Five Yang, even with the assistance of Spirit Stones, it took him a whole two years.


    Going by this progress, it might take another five or six years to become a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    That¡¯s a bit slow.


    If other practitioners of Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll in the Daoist gate knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s current mood, many would probably clench their fists at him.


    One must know that Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing were stuck in the stage between Three Yang and Four Yang because they didn¡¯t have Spirit Stones and could only rely on painfully absorbing Fire spiritual power. They felt that if they could complete the Four Yang Body Realm before graduation, it would already be overachieving.


    But Chen Mobai was already thinking about the Six Yang body, and even Core Formation.


    After the Fire Spirit Root increased again, Chen Mobai rode the wave of excitement, and practiced Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll one more time. As expected, the speed of refining spirit qi was a little faster than usual.


    After the Grand Circulation, he teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm and practiced the spells on Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll.


    The power increased by much more.


    However, the main reason was because of his consumption of Enlightenment Tea, which already allowed him to grasp the essence of these spells. It wasn¡¯t the Fire Spirit Root¡¯s enhancement that did the work.


    He took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, an intermediate grade Rank-3 magic artifact, which now possessed a faint spiritual nature. After sensing his Fire Spirit Root value of 72, it trembled and lifted its most inner prohibition, allowing Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense to pour in for thorough refinement.


    From now on, even if the creator of this Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror resurrected in front of him, the artifact would only cooperate with Chen Mobai in attack.


    Having completely refined this Co-participation Legal Device, Chen Mobai felt his control and induction of fire spiritual power rise to a new level. Once again, he practiced the Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll, and found his speed had improved a bit.


    Lastly, Chen Mobai practiced Red Flame Sword Jue, mainly the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, whose power naturally improved a lot. However, compared with the Pure Yang Daoist Body and Pure Yang Scroll techniques, the improvement was limited.


    Touching the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist, Chen Mobai felt a bit regretful that the Primordial Yang Sword Evil that was destroyed by the Qing Shuang Sword had not yet been retrained, otherwise he could have tried the power of this Sword Evil.


    Before leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai went to check on the Devouring Heaven Serpent again, but now he had to actively search for it.


    Having been bound by the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light cage several times, the Devouring Heaven Serpent now hid far away upon detecting Chen Mobai¡¯s aura.


    However, its demonic aura was very conspicuous in the Secret Realm filled with wood energy.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even use his Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method, just opened his Void Spirit Eye, and saw a strand of dark green demonic energy blending into the strong verdant wood energy.


    With a beckon of his finger, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light shot out like a plane, wrapping up the Devouring Heaven Serpent who was hiding in a pile of dead leaves on the ground and brought it in front of him.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, the Devouring Heaven Serpent simply turned around. It was gnawing on a tender leaf, its small tail swaying back and forth. It didn¡¯t resist, and acted as if it hadn¡¯t seen him, just minding its own business and eating.


    ¡°This little guy¡­¡±


    Seeing that the Devouring Heaven Serpent was doing well, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan to bother it any more. He released the shackles of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, bounced it back into the Mysterious Fog Talisman, and went back to the Talent Tree again.


    ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape!¡±


    Opening his eyes and recalling this newly learned fire escape skill in his mind, a surprised look appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    This Eternal Life Sect was indeed an ancient great sect, always able to give him surprises.


    In the competitions at Jumang Daoist Academy, he had felt that his speed was a weak point, but he never had time to find a suitable escape skill. He didn¡¯t expect that just as he achieved Five Yang Body today, he acquired it on the Talent Tree.


    This ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape¡± was an escape skill that used Green-sun Fire as the core, and was in the same line as Pure Green Technique.


    After becoming proficient in it, the instantaneous explosion speed was like a spark flashing, extremely fast. Moreover, if one wanted to maintain it for a long time, as long as there was sufficient spiritual power and the physical body could withstand the high temperature of the Green-sun Fire, it would not be a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.


    But this escape skill had one flaw, which was that it had to be activated with both feet off the ground.


    Once touching the earth qi, the escape skill would be invalid.


    The name comes from this point.


    Chen Mobai had Green-sun Fire at hand, so it would be quite easy for him to practice this escape skill. Moreover, he was a Fire Spirit Body, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about the fire escape technique harming his body.


    Considering these various factors, this Earth Departing Flame Light Escape skill was very suitable for him.


    It¡¯s necessary to delve into it carefully during this period.


    Try to make up for the shortcomings in speed before school starts.


    In the midst of contemplation, Chen Mobai activated Turtle Treasure and returned to Red Sandstone City.

    It was just daybreak.


    He sent the calculation result of the Foundation Establishment to Yan Bingxuan, and she immediately replied with a received emoji.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to ask Yan Bingxuan when she was free to help her deduce the detailed process of the Foundation Establishment using the Unseen Puppet, a phone call came.¡±


    ¡°Brother Chai, you arrived so soon.¡±


    This was about his own puppet factory that was related to his rise in wealth. Chen Mobai immediately answered the phone. Hearing that Chai Lun had arrived at the Red Sandstone City airport, he asked him to wait for a moment, saying that he would pick him up soon.

 Chapter 572 - Chapter 572: Chapter 377 Full of Debts_1

    Chapter 572: Chapter 377 Full of Debts_1


    Chai Lun was a man of swift action, and the two of them started discussing various professional terms related to the puppet factory right at the dinner table.


    ¡°When Master Che helped the Fourth Armament Factory of the Immortal Sect to design weapon assembly automated puppets, I followed along to do odd jobs. I originally thought that something like a puppet factory would only be adopted under the large volume of the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Chai Lun said with a wistful expression on his face, using puppets to replace manual labor was a luxurious thing.


    That¡¯s because within the Immortal Sect, there were many cultivators, and labor was cheap.


    However, even the most ordinary Rank-1 puppet costs at least one hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    The latest data shows that the average salary of Qi Practitioners in the Immortal Sect is 14,750 Good Deed Points per person per year, and it does not even reach this average in the remote city of Red Sandstone City.


    That is to say, the cost of making a puppet is enough for Chen Mobai to employ a Qi Practitioner for almost ten years.


    The usage scope of the puppet is also very narrow. Rank-1 ones can only recognize some common commands, which is far less than human.


    If talking about advantages, it is that puppets absolutely obey, will not make mistakes, and don¡¯t need rest. As long as the energy is sufficient, they will work ceaselessly.


    ¡°I plan to expand and strengthen my factory. After all, I still have at least two hundred years of life. After a one-time investment in the puppet factory, the cost can be recouped in about ten years. Tightening the belt for a while to exchange for the future¡¯s substantial profits, I think it¡¯s quite worthwhile.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were half true and half false. The main reason was that the puppets would absolutely keep secrets and would not expose his resource laundering in the Immortal Sect and Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°But it seems your funds are a bit short?¡±


    Chai Lun put down his cup, his face showing an uneasy expression.


    He had already seen Chen Mobai¡¯s plan before coming. The cost of one hundred puppets would exceed tens of millions of Good Deed Points, and there would need to be an investment of nearly twenty million Good Deed Points for newly necessary equipment and assembly lines to suit the puppets.


    Among these, the item ¡°Heavenly Calculation Bead¡± alone had already cost one million eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    ¡°No problem, I still have a backup funding plan. And what I¡¯m thinking is to complete the overall layout first, there¡¯s no need for a one-time investment. The equipment for making talisman paper and talisman ink can be converted from the old ones first.¡±


    ¡°But the main thing is that I need Senior Chai¡¯s help to make the puppets to cut costs.¡±


    ¡°The main bodies and insignificant parts of the puppets are all made of wood, which can save nearly two million Good Deed Points.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chai Lun couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    ¡°Using wood can indeed lower the cost, but it will also degrade and damage more quickly. Originally, one puppet could be used for twenty or thirty years, but with this method, it may not even last ten years.¡±


    The most expensive part of a puppet is the core chip, also known as the main controller. It¡¯s all about the technique. If you want to use the Heavenly Calculation Bead for recognition and control, you can¡¯t save on it.


    Next is the drive device, but since Chen Mobai himself has Spirit Stones, he can save a lot again.


    The rest of the Spiritual Power Pipelines, moving joints, adjusting gears, etc., are not suitable to lower their standards for the sake of future maintenance.


    But the majority of the remaining puppet bodies, as long as the client has no objections, can use any material.


    The highest-end of course is the bionic material of the Formless Human Puppet, which can perfectly simulate the human body.


    Then comes the hard Spirit Materials like Fine Iron Alloy. Among these, wood is the cheapest.


    Because it¡¯s easy to break.


    But Chen Mobai is now an outstanding Puppet Master himself. As long as the framework of the puppet factory is set up first, he can stay in the factory and maintain and repair it in the future.


    The main reason is that he owns the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and his Spirit Wood resources are almost inexhaustible, which he can use for free.


    Actually, there is another issue. Before using Spirit Wood to make puppets, it is actually necessary to check the relevant documents of the Immortal Sect Forestry Bureau to ensure that these Spirit Woods have been approved and are legally felled and sold.


    But in this case, Chen Mobai himself is the client, and Chai Lun was invited by him to make the puppets. He has already defaulted that the material sources of this junior are all legal, and he won¡¯t do anything superfluous.


    However, for safety, Chen Mobai ordered a batch of Spirit Wood under the name of the Flying Heaven Talisman Factory from a supplier in neighboring Yu Wood City, with whom he had cooperated before.


    In this way, even if the relevant departments come to check in the future, he could show related documents.


    There would only be a problem in terms of quantity, but in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai was confident enough with his own background. The Immortal Sect Bureau wouldn¡¯t inspect to this extent. After all, Qin Baipeng had already provided a lot of policy support in order to have him settle there.

    And once he expands and strengthens his business in the future, Chen Mobai plans to lease a forest in Yu Wood City. By then, he could perfectly solve this problem by controlling both the upstream and downstream sectors.


    ¡°I kind of understand. But some keys still need your guidance when manufacturing.¡±


    After finishing the meal, Chai Lun looked at Chen Mobai with new respect. His tone of speech had even become somewhat polite..


    In their exchange about the puppet factory, sometimes Chai Lun couldn¡¯t even keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking. This showed that his attainments in Puppet Dao were already inferior to the current junior.


    However, Chai Lun didn¡¯t have any extra emotions. He even felt in his heart that Chen Mobai indeed deserved to be the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy, the favored closed-door disciple of Master Che, and the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Immortal Sect. It was only normal for him to surpass himself.

 Chapter 573 - Chapter 573: Chapter 377 In Debt_2

    Chapter 573: Chapter 377 In Debt_2


    He, however, had no idea that Chen Mobai¡¯s accomplishments in the Puppet Dao all came from Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Senior Chai, I¡¯m going to trouble you a bit. Please gather some puppet technicians to complete the rough framework of the puppet factory.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Chai Lun was truly capable, hence he decided to have him handle this business.


    ¡°Leave it to me.¡±


    Chai Lun patted his chest and immediately called his company¡¯s people, asking them to bring all kinds of tools to Red Sandstone City.


    After arriving at the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory, the two signed a custom-made contract.


    The contract stipulated a total price of 2.22 million Good Deed Points. According to Chen Mobai¡¯s specifications, 100 Rank-1 labor model puppets were to be made. In this process, the Chai Lun party was only responsible for production. Chen Mobai, as the buyer, was responsible for procuring all the puppet materials. After the order was completed and approved, the maintenance and upkeep would also be taken care of by the buyer.


    Chai Lun, being aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s financial shortages, generously collected only a million Good Deed Points for the down payment. The remaining 1.2 million balance would be made in installment payments over the next three years.


    To this, Chen Mobai tens of thousands times expressed his gratitude.


    Several days later, after he helped to settle the technicians from Chai Lun¡¯s puppet factory, he personally took a trip to Yu Wood City, where he negotiated with several wood factories, pretending to have purchased a lot of Spirit Wood.


    Because the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory usually only stored ink and paper, it didn¡¯t require a large warehouse, so when the first batch of the truly purchased Spirit Wood arrived later, there was nowhere to put it.


    But this was intentional by Chen Mobai, who used it as an excuse to ask Qin Baipeng for help in renting a large open space outside the city to store the Spirit Wood purchased from Yu Wood City.


    Each time before Chai Lun¡¯s people made puppets, he arranged for workers from the Hairpin Factory to come and cut the Spirit Wood into various lengths as required, then transported it into the city in small carts.


    Most of the time, the open storage space for Spirit Wood was unattended, with only a simple Formation and Defence for protection. Chen Mobai placed a Mysterious Fog Talisman for concealment.


    He then took it upon himself to bundle together the Red Sun Spirit Wood that he had felled with the Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the Divine Tree Secret Realm last time, and transported them here batch by batch through the Turtle Treasure.


    Red Sun Spirit Wood is used for burning in the Divine Wood Sect.


    This kind of Spirit Wood has a gentle aura, and the Spiritual Fire produced during calcination is easy to control, making it very suitable for Alchemy.


    However, in the Immortal Sect, it is considered mid-to-high-grade Spirit Wood. The Qingbai Spirit Wood that Chen Mobai purchased from Yu Wood City is not even as good as Red Sun Spirit Wood.


    ¡°Junior Chen, the quality of the first batch of Spirit Wood isn¡¯t so good, and the resulting puppets might only last two to three years before they are scrapped. I think we shouldn¡¯t try to skimp on this cost.¡±


    In the Fly Sparrow Hairpin Factory workshop, Chai Lun pointed at the first batch of ten puppets made by his technical staff with Qingbai Spirit Wood. His expression was not satisfying.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll follow senior¡¯s advice, refund all the Spirit Wood from this supplier, and replace all future batches of Spirit Wood with that of the second supplier.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been pondering how to naturally stop using Qingbai Spirit Wood and completely replace it with Red Sun Spirit Wood. Chai Lun¡¯s words gave him a chance to go with the flow.


    ¡°The quantity of mana flexible pipes, gear segments, and moving joints are sufficient, but the main controller chips haven¡¯t arrived yet. If we want to debug the puppets, we need to prioritize this material.¡±


    Chai Lun, hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s compliance, showed satisfaction. However, he still made requests concerning the provision of materials.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make another call. If that fails, I¡¯ll make a personal trip to the West Mysterious Cavern.¡±


    Other materials are readily available. Chai Lun¡¯s puppet factory had long-term suppliers who, after his introduction, allowed Chen Mobai to make his purchases at the lowest price, and the materials are being delivered to Red Sandstone City.


    Only the main controller, which needed to be compatible with the Heavenly Calculation Bead, requires a chip manufactured by the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai called Lou Fengcheng again. Although Lou Fengcheng initially didn¡¯t want to get involved, having helped with the first favor, rejecting this small request would be contradictory. It would be better just to have refused when buying the Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Without any other choice, Lou Fengcheng had to help once again, introducing a junior from the chip sales department to Chen Mobai.


    Considering Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as the first one to have Foundation Establishment in his Immortal Gate, the contract for one hundred rank-1 puppet master controller chips was set.


    But the total contract price was only 3.8 million Good Deed Points, which, in Repairing Heaven Chip Factory, can be considered insignificant and, due to its low technical content and profit margin, was largely overlooked.


    Even so, after signing the contract, Chen Mobai needed to pay the full amount before Repairing Heaven Chip Factory would begin processing and manufacturing.


    This was unlike purchasing Spirit Wood, where there was some leeway to delay payment of goods for a small period, and settle it at the end of the next year.


    The Heavenly Calculation Bead cost 1.8 million, Chai Lun¡¯s team¡¯s upfront processing fee was 1 million Good Deed Points, and combined with various other miscellaneous expenses, the initial fund of 5.8 million in the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory account wasn¡¯t enough to cover the full payment for the chips.


    Chen Mobai sighed about not having enough money. The stuff from Repairing Heaven Institute was just too expensive.


    However, even at this price, it was already discounted, only available through the connections of Lou Fengcheng.


    The highest and most advanced technologies of Immortal Gate were always in the hands of Repairing Heaven Institute, and if not for the constraints of Immortal Gate, the pricing would be even more outrageous.


    Chai Lun had already given him a break with the processing fees, allowing him to pay in installments. As for other various material purchases, since they were all first-time collaborations and were introduced by Chai Lun, Chen Mobai paid in full to avoid making it difficult for his senior.


    He had no choice but to activate his backup financial plan. He approached the Immortal Gate Bank in Danxia City again to mortgage his own Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirrors.


    Of course, he only mortgaged the ownership, the right to use was still in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    This means that Immortal Gate Bank, although they gave Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai, did not have possession of this magic artifact and it was still with Chen Mobai for his own use.


    But if one day Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t pay the interest or the loan, the bank would exercise its ownership and the Immortal Gate Law Court would enforce it, taking the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror from him.


    This was the most common type of mortgage loan in Immortal Gate.


    If it weren¡¯t for the clear origins of only this magic artifact in his possession, with clear lines of investigation available for the bank, Chen Mobai would have liked to mortgage others like the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Golden Jade Axe.


    Despite Chen Mobai owning the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror, according to the law, after his death, the ownership of this artifact would still lay with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, that is, he only owned half of it.


    So, when mortgaging it at the Immortal Gate Bank, he required agreement from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai had brought this matter to Che Yucheng¡¯s attention early on. The latter, upon hearing that it was due to a lack of funds for building the puppet factory, reluctantly approved after a moment¡¯s hesitation.


    It was just Chen Mobai, if it were someone else from the Academy, Che Yucheng definitely wouldn¡¯t be so agreeable.


    Half of the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror¡¯s ownership was mortgaged for 13.5 million Good Deed Points at the Immortal Gate Bank.


    Chen Mobai, now steeped in debt, felt a sense of relief. Holding these funds, he planned to personally go to the West Mysterious Cave Heaven to sort out the chip issue.


    ¡°Lou Senior, it¡¯s Chen Mobai. I¡¯ve booked a flight to West Mysterious Cave Heaven the day after tomorrow. I want to thank you in person for your help¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng, who was drinking tea, choked on a sip of tea upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words over the phone, feeling as if ants were crawling all over his body. He couldn¡¯t help but shudder, and he coughed violently.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve been feeling a bit under the weather recently, caught a chill so I might not be able to entertain you. Your thanks are not necessary¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng immediately declined Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation to thank him in person, and he also assured that as long as Chen Mobai transfers the Good Deed Points, the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory would fully commit to producing the chips and deliver them in the shortest possible time.


    ¡°I see, alright then. Next time you come to Crimson City or Danxia City, remember to give me a call. I¡¯ll treat you to a good meal.¡±


    [Damn you, I never want to see you again in my life.]


    Right after hanging up Chen Mobai¡¯s call, Lou Fengcheng immediately rushed to the Chip Factory.

 Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_1

    Chapter 574: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_1


    ¡°Son, there have been some rumors circulating around the factory lately.¡±


    One day, while Chen Mobai¡¯s family was having dinner, Tang Panchui suddenly brought up an issue.


    ¡°Apparently, since you started replacing human labor with puppets, there is talk of a large group of employees being laid off. Many older workers with families have come to me over this.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    The primary reason for using puppets instead of human labor is to maintain secrecy. His main reason for testing and setting up a puppet factory within the Heavenly Talisman Factory was to integrate it with the manufacturing of talisman paper and talisman ink artifacts.


    He had never planned to establish the puppet factory in such a bustling place as the Heavenly Talisman Factory.


    However, Tang Panchui¡¯s words served as a reminder to him.


    If this situation truly causes widespread anxiety and results in numerous layoffs, it is likely that the City Lord, Qin Baipeng, would intervene.


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. Everything will remain the same in the Heavenly Talisman Factory. Once the assembly line artifacts, specifically ordered for the puppet factory, arrive, I will find a separate location for it.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Tang Panchui felt relieved.


    After her military service and giving birth, she had worked in the talisman factory. Even though she has since become the boss¡¯s wife, she maintains deep relationships with many long-term employees in the factory. If she indeed had to replace human labor with puppets and lay off employees, she would find herself in a very difficult position.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai headed out to the Cultivation Mechanism Building in Red Sandstone City to meet with Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that you need a piece of land to build a new factory?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Baipeng opened the virtual map of Red Sandstone City in his office, pointing out several scattered areas glowing in white, indicating that these lands were available for use, and left Chen Mobai to make his selection.


    ¡°The land within the city is too small. The new factory I¡¯m building will implement new technology that allows for fully automated puppet operation, without the need for human labor. However, it may need more land space.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qin Baipeng didn¡¯t quite understand the technical jargon. Nevertheless, he understood that Chen Mobai required a larger industrial land area.


    ¡°That leaves us with options outside the city. Do you see anything you like?¡±


    The virtual map zoomed out, revealing the terrain outside Red Sandstone City. At this point, many large, interconnected white patches appeared, indicating that numerous land options were available in the suburban areas outside the city.


    ¡°How about this piece?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the largest wasteland outside the city, covered by a white glow. Even though the map showed that this area lacked any major transportation routes and appeared to be the most desolate tract within the jurisdiction of Red Sandstone City, its area was significantly vast.


    Using his Divine Sense to calculate the map proportionally, Chen Mobai estimated this land area to be roughly two to three thousand acres, large enough to accommodate twenty Heavenly Talisman Factories.


    ¡°Nephew, are you sure about this piece of land? It seems that you are not aware of its history.¡±


    Upon hearing Qin Baipeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai took a closer look and noticed that the land exhibited a faint red hue under the white glow, indicating some issue. This piece of land was situated at the tail of the Danxia Fire Vein and bordered the realm of the Danxia Blessed Land. Any further from it would be the territory of neighboring Yu Wood City.


    ¡°This piece of land, despite its large area, offers nearly no soil fertility. A few decades ago, when the underground Fire Vein erupted, this land was mostly spared due to suppression by the Green Paulownia and Grandmaster Shi Qing. However, as no one was using this land, the Red Dawn Institution and the Dance Tool Dao Academy have yet to send anyone to clean up the residual fire poison. Cultivators would even struggle to Refine Spirit Qi in such an environment.¡±


    Upon hearing Qin Baipeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai learned the reason for the desolation of this piece of land.


    A few decades ago, even before Chen Mobai¡¯s birth, when his parents were still serving in the army, no one knew about the eruption of the Fire Vein.


    However, to others, what might be called poisoned land sparked joy in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°My puppet factory does not require human labor initially, and solving the fire poison issue is simple ¨C by planting trees. I can go to the Red Dawn Institution and buy some Green Paulownia seedlings, or go to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to transplant a Vermillion Fruit Tree, or even plant some Fire Spirit Trees. These are all methods to transform fire poison into resources. Perhaps, after a hundred years, this wasteland poisoned by fire will become a lush forest.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been looking to convert the abundant tree resources of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, even considering leasing a forest in Yu Wood City. This piece of fire-poisoned land was perfect for his purposes.


    Firstly, he could use this as a pretext not to hire anyone for his puppet factory and operate it entirely with automation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Secondly, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had extensive experience dealing with fire poison. Whether it was the Vermillion Fruit Tree or the Fire Spirit Tree, both could absorb and purify fire poison, not to mention the Green Paulownia, which could also manage earth veins.


    Moreover, the properties of the Red-sun Spirit Tree were not much different from those of the Fire Spirit Tree, and he could later label the Fire Spirit Tree from the Divine Tree Secret Realm as his homegrown brand.


    Since all lands differ, even if future patrons noticed some differences between the Red Sun Spiritual Wood and the Fire Spirit Wood, they would attribute it to the result of growth in lands poisoned by fire.


    ¡°Well, if you put it that way, let¡¯s get the paperwork started to hand over this piece of fire-poisoned wasteland.¡±


    On Planet Dihuan, all natural resources are owned by the Cultivators. Regular inhabitants could only obtain rights to use the land, and even then, such rights were time-limited.

 Chapter 575 - Chapter 575: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_2

    Chapter 575: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_2


    There are two types of land use rights: sale and grant.


    A sale is when the Celestial Sect mechanism sells it off and receives fiscal Good Deed Points. A grant refers to gifting it for use, typically as a policy support to attract investment, or to lure senior cultivators or large factories to establish their operations.


    As the renowned top Rank-2 Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Celestial Sect, Chen Mobai has the maximum policy support permitted from Qin Baipeng now that he¡¯s settled in Red Sandstone City.


    With Qin Baipeng¡¯s personal help, Chen Mobai soon obtained the right to use this plot of Flame Poison Wasteland, but the duration of this right was tied to him.


    If one day he decides to relocate, this land use right will become invalid.


    Originally, Wu Shangru was also tied down to Red Sandstone City in this way, but in the end, he found Chen Mobai to take over, thus securing a satisfactory resolution.


    After signing the grant agreement, under Qin Baipeng¡¯s accompaniment, Chen Mobai visited the Flame Poison Wasteland for an on-site inspection.


    With the help of the Red Sandstone City Celestial Sect Mechanism Land Management Bureau, a Red Line Array Method was set up to establish the boundaries and scope of the granted land.


    ¡°The flame poison is rooted in the earth¡¯s veins. Even if you plant Spirit Wood, it will take about ten years to completely sort it out.¡±


    After looking over the wasteland with his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction. Qin Baipeng, who was with him, was a little puzzled but he had heard that the Vermillion Fruit Tree thrived on flame poison. So, he guessed that Chen Mobai was probably happy because this land was suitable for transplanting that number one spirit plant from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°There might be problems with setting up a new factory, setting up protective arrays, and connecting to the Spirit Vein Aura. Feel free to find me when that happens.¡±


    When everything was finished, Qin Baipeng said this, then led his team back.


    Chen Mobai, however, stayed. He stood on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and inspected every inch of this wasteland.


    The reality will certainly deviate somewhat from the map.


    After the inspection, Chen Mobai chose a small hill with the most concentrated flame poison and decided to set up the formation from there.


    It just so happened that under Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s manipulation, he had come up with a tri-sun Qi Array Plate, which could be used here.


    But setting up an array is a professional field, and the larger the range covered by the array, the more it tests the Array Master¡¯s skill.


    Chen Mobai could set up a tri-sun Qi array within a one-meter range and evolve the Yuan Yang Sword Qi. But when placed on this nearly three-thousand-acre land, he was powerless.


    He could only call in his good brother.


    Yunyang Bing stayed at the Daoist Academy this year because next year he¡¯ll be out mapping with a group of students from the Array Department. So right now, their team was in a preparation and adjustment phase, and Jin Shuwei, another person from the Metaphysical class, was also there.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s call, Yunyang Bing thought for a moment, feeling that this could be a good opportunity for their team to practice. So, after reporting to the team leader, he brought the entire team of seven people over.


    One could only say that professionals sure do things differently. Having understood Chen Mobai¡¯s concept, Yunyang Bing, along with the students from the Array Department, conducted an on-site survey and precisely outlined all the distribution paths of the Fire Vein under this wasteland. They also altered the tri-sun Qi array, removed the restriction of requiring three Yang attribute flying swords, and maximized the power of the array to maintain constant temperature.


    The final ¡°Fire Yang Thousand Wood Qi Array¡± that they set up was only of intermediate grade rank-2, but it left room for upgrading in the future as per Chen Mobai¡¯s requirement.


    All it needed was for Spirit Trees to be planted at the key points of the array. As the Spirit Trees grew over time, the power of the array would increase, making its Spirit Attraction, temperature regulation, and Earth Vein cultivation abilities more potent.


    ¡°Good brother, I cannot thank you enough.¡±


    After the array was set up, Chen Mobai entertained these Array Department folks, even opening up his last small jar of rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°It¡¯s your social capital. When I told them it¡¯s for your factory, they were all willing to come and help.¡±


    Yunyang Bing shook his head, downplaying his contribution.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to succeed Zuo Qiushi as the student union president was indeed wise.


    However, if he hadn¡¯t made a name for himself in the Little Red Sky and the Jumang Daoist Academy, restored the glory of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and earned the title of the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Celestial Sect, there was no guarantee that these gifted students from the Array Department would leave their comfort zones to help him set up the array in this wild wasteland, let alone help him build his factory.


    ¡°Old Chen, this wine is good. Do you have any more?¡±


    After sipping the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, Jin Shuwei¡¯s eyes lit up and he called out.


    ¡°That was the last jar. But there¡¯s a new batch maturing next year, and I¡¯ll send each of you one.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to pay Good Deed Points to these Array Department students, but none of them accepted. However, the offer of wine managed to brighten the eyes of quite a few.


    Mainly because this Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was really good. Brewed from pure natural ingredients, without industrial additives, procured from Giant Tree Ridge, its taste was quite distinct from common wines on the Celestial Sect market.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s settled then. When we return from mapping next year, we¡¯ll come to the student union to find you for wine.¡±


    A freckled boy from the Array Department, who seemed a bit drunk, his face flushed, cheerfully declared to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Definitely, definitely.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted his chest in assurance.


    The next day, Yunyang Bing¡¯s group returned to Crimson City. Chen Mobai originally wanted them to stay and look around for a while, but there weren¡¯t many attractions in Red Sandstone City, and they had been here for half a month setting up the array, which was a bit too long.

 Chapter 576 - Chapter 576: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_3

    Chapter 576: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_3


    Chen Mobai booked their flights and personally sent them off at the airport, thanking everyone profusely before they departed.


    While concentrating on the Bareland Formation, Chen Mobai did not forget to pay attention to the progress of puppet making.


    Chai Lun¡¯s team was quite reliable. After obtaining a steady supply of Red Sun Spiritual Wood and core chips, they quickly completed the production of the second batch of Labor Force Puppets.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s inspection, he pointed out a few minor issues.


    After Chai Lun made improvements, both of them revamped the old equipment line in the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory to be in sync with the Labor Force Puppets. However, using the Heavenly Calculation Bead to control the puppets instead of manual labor was not as efficient as they had hoped; moreover, unexpected errors occurred.


    ¡°We need to specifically custom-make machinery and magic artifact equipment that fit with the Puppet assembly line,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    After Chen Mobai and Chai Lun conducted numerous experiments, they came to a conclusion.


    However, this was expected. Chen Mobai¡¯s loan from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was for this purpose.


    There are many magic artifact factories within the Immortal Gate that produce talisman papers and inks. However, only two or three of them have independent design capability, accept customized orders, and also understand puppets.


    Luckily, one of them is directly under the Dance Tool Dao Academy, named ¡°Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory¡±!


    Just like the relationship between the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory and the Repairing Heaven Institute, although they are private enterprises in name, they are actually controlled by the Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with the person in charge of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory, but he had a mentor.


    After Che Yucheng made a call, the chief engineer of Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory arrived with two technicians.


    The chief engineer spent eight years studying in the Puppet Department before graduating. Although he was poached by the Refining Implement Department in the middle due to his remarkable talent, he still regarded himself as a disciple of Che Yucheng.


    Chen Mobai promptly greeted him as senior brother.


    This senior brother named Zhou Tiangong is a Cultivator who has achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection. At the age of less than sixty, he has led his team to overcome many challenges in large-scale magical instrument machinery equipment. Having accumulated enough contributions, he is only waiting for his sixtieth anniversary to exchange for Core Formation spiritual materials.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen truly deserves to be the most outstanding chief of the Dao Academy in the last hundred years. The design approach to your puppet factory is quite ingenious.¡±


    After communicating with Chen Mobai, Zhou Tiangong complimented him, then he sketched out a blueprint of an assembly line that matched the puppets. Chen Mobai watched and put forward his ideas, calling Chai Lun over. After all, Chai Lun was the one who made the puppets, and he had the clearest idea of what equipment would bring out all the advantages of these puppets.


    Three geniuses from the Dance Tool Dao Academy brainstormed in the room for two days and two nights without sleep, and finally confirmed a set of equipment blueprints that satisfied everyone.


    ¡°Junior brother, the total is 7.8 million Good Deed Points, I won¡¯t charge you for the design fee of the equipment.¡±


    After agreeing on the technical aspects, it was now time to decide on the price.


    Just like the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory, Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory also operates on the principle of full payment before the start of production.


    While Chen Mobai was amazed at how quickly money was being spent, he also understood that high-end technology is the most profitable industry in the Immortal Gate.


    He invested nearly tens of millions of Good Deed Points to establish a puppet factory, all of which went to the Repairing Heaven Institute and the Dance Tool Dao Academy. And this was still at the lowest discount price because of his extensive connections and reputation.


    If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator from Red Sandstone City, the contract price would probably cost an additional two to three million Good Deed Points at least.


    Fortunately, after the equipment contract was signed, Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet factory would not have any other large expenditures.


    Soon, it was New Year¡¯s day.


    ¡°Brother, how do I look in this outfit?¡±


    In the warm living room, Wang Xinying spun around in her Primordial Elemental Academy uniform. The white skirt fluttered, and her sleeves were loose and flowing. Despite her youthful innocence, her petite face and dainty nose, along with her budding figure and the rosy flush on her fair, creamy skin from the warmth indoors, made her look youthful and stunning.


    ¡°My little sister is beautiful, whatever she wears is beautiful.¡±


    Chen Mobai was sitting on the sofa chatting with his friend Qing Nu on his phone and commented without looking away from his phone.


    ¡°Humph!¡±


    Wang Xinying pouted and collapsed next to him, forcing Chen Mobai to look up at her.


    ¡°Alright, stop bothering your brother. Come and help.¡±


    Aunt Chen Yulan, who was carrying dishes out from the kitchen, saw this and promptly pulled Wang Xinying away to help her.


    Relatives like Chen Xinglan and Chen Baolan laughed heartily at the scene.


    Wang Xinying did well in the entrance examination this year. Although she didn¡¯t make it into the four major Daoist Academies, getting accepted into the Primordial Elemental Academy was still something to be happy about for these elders.


    Chen Mobai had talked to Shi Yuanqing and asked him to take care of his sister when school starts next year.

    [Happy New Year!]


    After spending the New Year¡¯s Day joyously, Chen Mobai was planning to visit Xiao Nanshan when he received a New Year¡¯s greeting from Yan Bingxuan.


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai remembered that he had offered to help her simulate the process of Foundation Establishment using the Faceless Puppets but had completely forgotten about it due to getting caught up with setting up the puppet factory.


    [Happy New Year, are you free on the first day of the new year?]


    Chen Mobai promptly covered up his mistake by arranging to meet Yan Bingxuan the next day at the Cultivation Gymnasium where he had previously taught her the Cold Ice Technique tricks.

 Chapter 577 - Chapter 577: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_4

    Chapter 577: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_4


    ¡°I apologize, I¡¯ve been busy with a new factory recently.¡±


    Upon seeing each other, Chen Mobai began with an apology.


    Yan Bingxuan today was still strikingly beautiful. She was wearing a blue inner lining, with a buttoned up black woolen sweater coat, a matching colored short waistcoat skirt and her exquisite black silk stockings wrapped in white knee-high boots. Complemented with her cold gaze and snow-white skin, she emanated a quiet elegance and cold beauty.


    ¡°When a man is young, he should focus more on his career and cultivation.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan shook her head, uttering words that surprised and touched Chen Mobai.


    For some reason, on the way to the spell cultivation room, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t resist sneaking a peek at the upper body of the beautiful woman beside him.


    Isn¡¯t that big, huh?


    ¡°I¡¯ll go first and take a look for you.¡±


    After securing the defense restrictions of the Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai took out the Divine Fire Mirror. Yan Bingxuan bit her lip when she saw it, but still nodded and stood in front of the mirror.


    After the mirror started flickering, the upright Chen Mobai voluntarily severed his divine sense connection with the artifact, then poured the most detailed bodily data of Yan Bingxuan into the featureless mannequin.


    Under the model¡¯s demonstration, the numeric dial in the mannequin¡¯s left eye began to tick from ¡°one¡± and quickly reached ¡°nine¡±.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan stood side by side, watching as her transparent Ice Spirit Power flowed beautifully within the mannequin¡¯s meridians and followed the process of the Foundation Establishment. The qi in the mannequin¡¯s Dantian turned into a vortex and began to solidify. The first droplet of white, liquid spiritual power quickly became visible to them both.


    After witnessing this, Chen Mobai listened to Yan Bingxuan heave a sigh of relief.


    [It seems she¡¯s also very tense about the Foundation Establishment.]


    With that thought, the mannequin¡¯s performance of the Foundation Establishment soon came to the end of the second step, condensing Qi into a liquid form.


    Yet, just after the ninth droplet of Ice Spirit Power solidified, all the spiritual power started to lose control. Coupled with the previous eight solidified droplets of liquid spiritual power, it began to effervesce back into a gaseous state. It then turned into a harsh cold that injured half of her body and internal organs.


    Chen Mobai frowned and stopped the simulation. This indicated that with Yan Bingxuan¡¯s current state, she would not succeed if she attempted Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I guess it won¡¯t work, huh?¡±


    The slightly disappointed voice of Yan Bingxuan sounded and Chen Mobai saw a rare expression of deep loss and sadness on her face.


    If he recalled correctly, this was the first time he¡¯d seen this kind of expression on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s face. It was quite novel.


    ¡°When you establish your foundation using the Xuan Bing Jue, how much liquid spiritual power do you need to condense?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°Twelve droplets.¡±


    ¡°This means you only need to try a little more, and you can easily complete the condensing Qi into liquid phase. After all, the mannequin¡¯s evaluation suggests you can currently solidify up to the ninth droplet.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan forced a smile. Three years ago, she had already reached the Qi cultivation perfection stage, and if she didn¡¯t establish foundation, no matter how hard she tried, there would be no room for improvement.


    ¡°Do you know about Spiritual Power Vortex?¡±


    Chen Mobai posed a question that made Yan Bingxuan tilt her head in curiosity.


    ¡°Spiritual Power Vortex? Is this a type of spell?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a cultivation technique that I learned from watching Master Qing Ping¡¯s Five Elements Cultivation training videos. It¡¯s very helpful for the step of condensing Qi into liquid form. Let me teach you.¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained the principles of the Spiritual Power Vortex, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, realizing a method that would allow her to simulate the process of condensing Qi into liquid form in advance.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled, shook his head, and pointed to the room.


    ¡°When we were here, you taught me the Cold Ice Technique without reservation. If it were not for you, I might not have been admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy. I should be the one to thank you.¡±


    After finishing, Chen Mobai asked Yan Bingxuan to sit cross-legged and began to coach her on how to practice the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    ¡°Relax, continue cultivating as you normally would, refining Spirit Qi into Spiritual Power, then put your divine sense into it. Imagine you are slowly shaking a cup of water in your hand.¡±


    ¡°After the Spiritual Power goes a full cycle, steer it back to the Dantian in a clockwise rotation. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s slow or not entirely circular, just get accustomed to this kind of rotation.¡±


    ¡°Give me your hand; I will infuse my spiritual power into you to help you understand.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan nodded and raised her right hand. Chen Mobai reached out and touched her fair, white wrist with two fingers. Considering the Ice Spirit Power she was cultivating, he chose to use his own Longevity Spiritual Power.


    His cultivation level far exceeded Yan Bingxuan¡¯s, even this thread of spiritual power was of much higher quality than all the spiritual power in her body. So as soon as it entered her body, it took control.


    The Longevity Spiritual Power instantly controlled all the Ice Spirit Power it encountered within Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body.


    When passing through a certain part of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body, Chen Mobai found that the remaining Ice Spirit Power was particularly abundant. But he didn¡¯t think much about it. He thought it was due to flaws in Bing Xuan¡¯s practice of the method and guided his Spirit Power through the Grand Circulation circle in what he believed to be a clockwise rotation into her Qi Sea.


    Chen Mobai was particularly careful during this step. As compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Dantian of Qi Practitioners was like the difference between a small bowl and a large vat. A thread of spiritual power that he might think insignificant might be overwhelmingly powerful for Yan Bingxuan.

 Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_5

    Chapter 578: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_5


    It took almost twenty minutes for Chen Mobai to guide all the Ice Spirit Power into his Dantian in a clockwise direction. He then dismissed his own Longevity Spiritual Power, only inserted his Divine Sense, and again led the Ice Spirit Power to oscillate slowly, gradually constructing the initial form of the vortex.


    This step was not easy, especially for Qi Practitioners with a high cultivation level, it was very challenging.


    However, under Chen Mobai¡¯s meticulous operation and his influence, Yan Bing Xuan¡¯s spiritual power in Dantian, which was originally as calm as the surface of flat water, finally began to ripple and started to take on the initial shape of a vortex.


    ¡°Done. Remember this feeling, once the spiritual power vortex takes form, you will not face any problem in the step of condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished uttering these words, he withdrew his Divine Sense through the same path from Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body and opened his eyes.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Both of them opened their eyes at the same time, and Yan Bingxuan seriously thanked Chen Mobai once more.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you it¡¯s not needed¡­. Eh¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, unconcerned, lifted his hand that was resting on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s wrist, accidently brushing against something soft and plentiful. He looked down in surprise and his eyes widened instantly.


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s black knitted coat which was initially buttoned up, had now torn open at the chest. A couple of buttons had flown off leaving only the broken threads behind.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth hung open. He stared blankly at the tightly stretched blue underlining which had filled his view.


    He felt that his right hand, which he had lifted, had contacted one of these mounds, but he could not see his hand at all. The two mounds were fuller beyond his imagination, blocking all his downward vision.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan also finally reacted, letting out a startled cry, she jumped up, covering her torn black knitted jacket with her hands, but her hands simply could not cover it all.


    Even due to her actions, her knitted jacket, which usually fit her upper body perfectly, had two more buttons fly off the top and the bottom because she was pulling it tightly on her chest.


    Chen Mobai also finally reacted at this moment. He stood still and turned around on the spot.


    ¡°I¡­I didn¡¯t see anything.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke words that obviously intended to cover up. He noticed that his right hand was still raised, and immediately brought it down swiftly.


    Then he remembered that when he was guiding the spiritual power in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body, there seemed to be a lot of residual Ice Spirit Power in the chest area. He initially thought that it was her oversight. Now thinking back, it must have been used for maintaining her transformation with a spell.


    It¡¯s genuinely so big!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face was still in disbelief, unable to see his feet when looking down. Probably because of this reason, Yan Bingxuan must have been using a spell to reduce them every day.


    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was engrossed in his thoughts, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice in a normal tone sounded from behind him.


    He slowly turned around and saw Bingxuan back to her daily look. He couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°I won¡¯t tell anyone about it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. As a kid, I cared a lot about it, often felt inferior when my peers teased me. So, I learned a spell to conceal it. But now, I don¡¯t care anymore, but because I¡¯m used to this form, I transform every day before going out.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s tone had returned to calm, but Chen Mobai could tell from the blush covering her pale skin that she was still a bit flustered.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite inconvenient when they¡¯re so large.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a forced laugh, then both of them lapsed into an awkward silence.


    ¡°Thank you for teaching me about the spiritual power vortex.¡±


    In the end, it was Yan Bingxuan who took the initiative to end the silence. Chen Mobai quickly waved his hands indicating he was glad to help, then the two of them made quick small talk and promptly concluded the encounter.


    What he saw today was a bit too shocking for Chen Mobai.


    So, he decided not to go home but to distract himself with work instead.


    During the Chinese New Year, Chai Lun naturally wouldn¡¯t stay in Danxia City to continue working. He and his team members were all off for seven days.


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the Flying Heavenly Talisman factory, he was the only one there.


    However, now he can be regarded as an outstanding Puppet Master. He activated all the Labor Force Puppets produced and calibrated by Chai Lun and then poured his divine sense into the already refined Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Soon, Chen Mobai felt that his Divine Sense, after going through the Heavenly Calculation Bead, seemed to be divided into thin threads and precisely injected into every activated puppet¡¯s core chip.


    After controlling forty Labor Force Puppets separately, Chen Mobai felt like he was holding forty playing cards in his hand. Although it was a bit too much for him to take in, he did not have the symptoms of dizziness and headaches he used to have when the number of divided minds into thoughts was too much.


    This Heavenly Calculation Bead is really useful!


    Chen Mobai immersed himself in maneuvering the forty puppets, operating machines, moving materials, starting talisman ink making machines, and many more. He stumbled and made errors but continued to experiment with the various functions of the Heavenly Calculation Bead in the process.


    He soon forgot the massive shock he received in his head.

 Chapter 579 - Chapter 579: Chapter 379: Transplanting Vermillion Fruit Tree_1

    Chapter 579: Chapter 379: Transplanting Vermillion Fruit Tree_1


    Three days after the New Year, Chai Lun returned.


    He had only graduated a few years ago, and at this age, his mind was filled with thoughts of career development and improving his cultivation level. Although the puppet factory, because of the acquaintances, the profits were not high, but it was a practical application of the entire puppet Dao system. This was a very rare practical opportunity for him.


    After all, apart from the immortal gate mechanism, private businesses generally do not consider the luxury of replacing human labor with puppets.


    During these few days when Chai Lun was resting at home, he had some more ideas.


    ¡°You can customize some special transportation tools that can be driven by puppets, or directly integrate the main controller chip with the transportation tool to create a transport puppet, which can save labor in the future for loading and unloading goods.¡±


    Although the puppet factory can operate according to established procedures, the raw materials for making talisman paper and talisman ink still need to be obtained and transported from outside. Chai Lun¡¯s idea was to replace this part with puppets as well.


    Chen Mobai thought about it and found it made sense, so he found a company that specifically makes transportation tools within the immortal gate and ordered two large and two small transport vehicles.


    Of course, in order to be compatible with the puppet, Chen Mobai had to make a trip himself. After all, only he and Chai Lun understood the related technical standards.


    Chai Lun had to continue making puppets, so he had to go as the client side.


    The customized transportation tools cost Chen Mobai another 2.3 million Good Deed Points.


    However, Chen Mobai was willing to spend this Good Deed Points. After all, when he increases the output of his factory in the future, these transportation tools will be indispensable.


    Previously, the Flying Talisman Factory did not produce many goods, so they hired logistic companies for bulk goods transportation.


    Aside from the one-time investment in the transportation tools, the labor cost of the driver was also indispensable. However, if Chen Mobai could replace the human labor with puppets, he could save money.


    But if the puppet were to hit the road, it would need to go through a special approval procedure in the Immortal Gate, and could only run on specific routes.


    After Chen Mobai finished the transportation tool order, he immediately asked Qin Baipeng to help open the puppet¡¯s road route between Red Sandstone City and neighboring Yu Wood City. In the future, the Red Sun Spiritual Wood could be legally transported into his own factory nonstop.


    In the midst of busyness.


    The time for the start of school quickly arrived.


    Chen Mobai had to temporarily put aside the puppet factory matters and returned to Crimson City temporarily.


    Aside from registering for the eighth-grade courses, the most important thing was that his Rank-2 Talisman Maker assessment was about to begin.


    Of course, with the start of the new semester, it was necessary for someone from the student council to coordinate between teachers and students for course arrangements. With Hua Zijing having graduated, a lot of things required Chen Mobai to step in personally.


    Fortunately, thanks to the effects of Enlightenment Tea, he was fully confident in the professional exams.


    ¡°Congratulations, from now on you are a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.¡±


    In the exam hall of Crimson City that was specifically for testing talisman making, Chen Mobai, in front of three examiners, under full camera surveillance, brought out his various talisman brushes, and smoothly completed the drawing of ten Rank-2 talismans.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After shaking hands with each examiner, Chen Mobai completed the registration on the spot and received his Rank-2 Talisman Maker¡¯s professional seal.


    ¡°Looking at your success rate and stability, you should have been at the Rank-2 Talisman Maker level for a while, I heard that when you enrolled, you were claimed to be the number one in talisman making, how come you are only now taking the Rank-2 professional examination.¡±


    One of the examiners had graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and his name was Zeng Xingfu.


    Before the exam he didn¡¯t say a word, but after Chen Mobai passed the exam, there was no longer a need to be impartial, so he came over to greet him with a smile.


    ¡°I have had many things to manage and have therefore spent less time on talisman making. It¡¯s only this year that I became confident enough in passing the test.¡±


    Chen Mobai was being truthful, but Zeng Xingfu took it as him being modest.


    Zeng Xingfu and the other two invigilators witnessed the whole process of Chen Mobai drawing ten talismans, his performance surpassed the average level of Rank-2 by far. In fact, in his brush strokes, there were even glimpses of a Rank-3 Talisman Maker¡¯s techniques.


    ¡°In this generation, there are not many who are talented and humble like Little Chen. Not surprisingly, you are indeed the most brilliant chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in a century.¡±


    The other two examiners also came over, greatly praising Chen Mobai. He was young and promising yet unarrogant and composed.


    Zeng Xingfu heard and beamed, patting Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder with a sentiment.


    ¡°I hope I can see another Gold Core True Person from the Dao Academy before I die.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Examiners for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal are generally experts who have retired from the Immortal Gate system after reaching the statutory retirement age, and have been rehired to keep themselves busy.


    For example, Zeng Xingfu was over one hundred and eighty years old. Although his facial features were well-maintained, his hair had turned grey.


    Ten years ago, he exchanged all his working years and Good Deed Points for a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, but unfortunately, he failed to form a core and his Essence and Blood Energy levels were depleted


    Although Zeng Xingfu also took a Lifespan Extension Pill to replenish the lifespan he lost due to his severe injuries, according to the rules of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai could obtain Gold Core Spiritual Material at the earliest after sixty years, so it¡¯s very likely Zeng Xingfu won¡¯t see this day.


    ¡°Senior Chi Shicheng can exchange for a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill in thirty more years. Maybe Teacher Zeng will be able to see the day of his Core Formation.¡±

 Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Chapter 379: Transplanting the Vermillion Fruit Tree_2

    Chapter 580: Chapter 379: Transplanting the Vermillion Fruit Tree_2


    ¡°I hope it¡¯s as you say.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zeng Xingfu burst into laughter.


    Almost half of the successful Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Immortal Gates belong to the four Great Dao Academies. Chi Shicheng is indeed the one with the most potential to advance to the Core Formation level among the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the last sixty years.


    ¡°Little Chen, it seems you haven¡¯t joined the Talisman Maker Association yet. Are you interested? The Association has many true versions of talismans. Aside from a few ancient talismans treasured in the Xianmen Museum, the inheritance of the talisman is arguably the most numerous and complete in the entire Xianmen. Moreover, our president is one of the only two Rank-5 Talisman Makers in Xianmen, Master Yu Yi from the Heavenly Book Academy.¡±


    A middle-aged female examiner named Yan Wanqing gently invited him. All the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in Xianmen have their own associations. Other people who want to join must at least pass the examination of Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    Moreover, besides the Rank-2 Professional Seal, they still need to pass the exclusive examination within the Talisman Maker Association.


    However, as long as there are three formal members in the association who approve, a new Rank-2 Talisman Maker can join the association without examination.


    Chen Mobai, a genius in talisman making and also the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, all three of them on the scene would be happy to serve as his guide into the association as long as he is willing.


    ¡°Well, because I will focus my main energy on the Daoist Academy and Puppet Dao in the next few years, there may not be enough time to spend on the path of talisman making before graduation.¡±


    Chen Mobai honestly stated. With Pure Yang Scroll and perfect Foundation Establishment of Divine Sense, plus a Puppet Factory that just started on the right track, and future trading across two realms, at least in his priority order in the next ten years, the rank of talisman making is relatively low.


    ¡°That¡¯s okay. In fact, our Talisman Maker Association is a loose organization. It merely provides a platform for everyone to communicate and learn from each other. Most Cultivators who are above Rank-3 in the Immortal Gate are in the association. Once you join, as long as you pay an annual fee of 100 Good Deed Points, you can freely browse and download the inheritance of Rank-1 to Rank-4 talismans in the association. Moreover, the task of making talismans issued by the association is voluntary, you don¡¯t have to worry about being constrained or anything.¡±


    Zeng Xingfu seldom persuaded, hearing this, Chen Mobai also stopped refusing the goodwill of the three examiners.


    After filling out an application to join the Talisman Maker Association, Zeng Xingfu and the other two each signed their names and put their Professional Seals on it, and the procedure was completed.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see that Zeng Xingfu¡¯s seal was actually a Rank-3 Talisman Maker.


    But thinking about his age, he understood.


    After the perfect Foundation Establishment in the Xianmen, especially for civil servants, they have lots of free time while waiting for Core Formation. Zeng Xingfu, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is naturally a genius. It is only natural that he has become a Rank-3 Talisman Maker after nearly a hundred years of research.


    Chen Mobai, considering the various matters of the new semester in the Daoist Academy, only had lunch with Zeng Xingfu and the others, added their contact information, and then went straight back to Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°President, how did the exam go?¡±


    Inside the small western-styled building of the Student Council, Zhuang Jialan asked with concern when she saw Chen Mobai return.


    ¡°With the guidance of you, my little teacher, I¡¯m sure I passed.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out his Rank-2 Professional Seal and teased.


    ¡°President is a genius. Even without my advice, he could easily pass.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan sighed with relief when she saw the seal.


    In fact, she was a little worried deep down. After all, Chen Mobai was a bit rusty when he first asked her for guidance last year. However, he learned faster and faster later on, and he had a success rate of 70-80% in each practice even before taking Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Is there any conflict with the new term¡¯s courses?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the work of the Student Council. Zhuang Jialan immediately took out a document and mentioned three courses that were cancelled by the Academic Affairs Office because of the insufficient number of students who had signed up. These students needed to re-select a course to avoid affecting the number of credits at the end of the year.


    The Student Council needs to step in and handle these matters.


    However, some students who reselect courses might not be accepted by the instructors due to overcapacity.


    This is the case this year.


    ¡°I got it. Notify Zhongli Tianyu, the three of us will handle this matter together.¡±


    After the puppet factory started to take off, Chen Mobai had decided to resign from his position as the student council president by the end of this year. Although Zhongli Tianyu was a bit eccentric, his cultivation realm was high and he was the strongest among their generation after the chief.


    His succession could at least ensure that the Dance Tool Dao Academy would remain the number one among all immortal sects in the next three years.


    Anyway, Chen Mobai would definitely not attend any offline sparring in the future.


    He had already cleared all the stages, it was no longer fun for him!


    Moreover, it was unlikely that the other Daoist academies would send graduates like last year because it would limit the opportunities for the younger generation.


    Last year was an anomaly, Chen Mobai¡¯s massacre in Little Red Sky had left many from the Daoist academies unconvinced, hence the incident.


    Now, online and offline, everyone had been beaten into submission by Chen Mobai. Nobody would come court humiliation again.


    Chen Mobai stayed in the Daoist Academy for another month, dealt with the busiest period after the start of the term, and then asked for leave from Che Yucheng. The reason he gave was to put the puppet knowledge he had learned from textbooks into practice.


    Che Yucheng definitely approved.


    ¡°I also heard about your puppet factory from Zhou Tiangong. The factory is in a place with fire poison. You need help from the Earth Masters from the academy to deal with it, right?¡±


    After approving Chen Mobai¡¯s year-long leave from the academy, Che Yucheng asked with concern.


    ¡°Yunyang Bing has already assessed it, he has also passed the Rank-2 Earth Master test. He said that there are no major problems, just need to plant more trees. Speaking of this, can the academy provide me with a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree and Fire Spirit Tree sapling? These would be very suitable for managing the fire poison on my land.¡±


    Che Yucheng didn¡¯t bring it up so Chen Mobai was going to mention it. It fits right in and he quickly moved on with the conversation.


    ¡°For the Fire Spirit Tree, just tell Director Jin from the Spiritual Plant Department. Although the exchange period has passed, it can be treated as a special case. The Vermillion Fruit Tree would be a bit troublesome¡­¡±


    The Fire Spirit Tree is one of the tree species developed by Dance Tool Dao Academy, specifically for planting on fire veins. Due to their tenacity, there are many seeds available, and most first year students in Spiritual Plant Department use these trees for research.


    One study credit in the academy can exchange for 10 Rank-1 Fire Spirit Tree saplings.


    After Che Yucheng made phone calls, a few students from the Spiritual Plant Department soon delivered 100 saplings.


    ¡°As for the Vermillion Fruit Tree, students are not allowed to exchange their study credits for them. Moreover, Rank-2 spirit trees have already matured and transplanting them can be very challenging.¡±


    After Che Yucheng finished, he made a few more phone calls. Finally, his face softened, seemingly having found a solution.


    ¡°Senior teachers and directors in the academy can exchange for the Vermillion Fruit Tree. I¡¯ve exchanged a Rank-2 one in my name for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, teacher. How many study credits did it cost? I¡¯ll transfer them to you.¡±

    When Chen Mobai heard this, he was touched.


    ¡°Never mind, consider it an early graduation gift from me.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke casually, which moved Chen Mobai even more. The value of the Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree must be high, because every year 20 study credits were required to exchange for a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit.


    Afterwards, when Chen Mobai followed the students of the Spiritual Plant Department to transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found that a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree required 300 study credits to be exchanged, equivalent to three device pieces.


    He could only etch this favor in his heart and vowed not to let down Che Yucheng¡¯s mentorship. He would definitely propagate his Puppet Dao.

 Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_1

    Chapter 581: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_1


    The Vermillion Fruit Tree is a spirit plant second only to the Big Tree within the Immortal Gate.


    Despite only being rank-2, the one transplanted by Chen Mobai is a spiritual object that many cultivators during their Foundation Establishment stage can only dream of.


    The Immortal Gate originaly had only one Vermillion Fruit Tree, planted deep within the Treasure Trove at the core of the Fire Vein, it¡¯s a rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    The Vermillion Fruit Trees planted by Dance Tool Dao Academy on various mountains were all cultivated from this original tree.


    The Fire Spirit Tree is a spirit plant that was accidentally cultivated during the study of branches from the Vermillion Fruit Tree. However, compared to how easy it is to grow a Fire Spirit Tree, the Vermillion Fruit Tree is much more delicate.


    Apart from the requisite Fire Vein environment, it also needs things like earth¡¯s energy and steam which are indispensable. Moreover, these three different types of spiritual energy need to maintain a specific proportion. Only then can the Vermillion Fruit Tree feel comfortable enough to bear flowers and fruits.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    After listening to the explanation by the student from the Spiritual Plant Department, Chen Mobai had an enlightened look on his face.


    His research in agricultural studies runs deep, and his understanding of spiritual plants is also notable.


    ¡°Old Chen, you¡¯ll need to finish planting this Vermillion Fruit Tree as soon as possible after it is removed from the soil, so as not to affect its vitality,¡± said Wang Xingyu, a rank-2 Alchemist as well as a rank-2 Spirit Plant Master. Each year, he helps Chen Mobai select mature Vermillion Fruits for exchange. This time, when Chen Mobai transplanted a Vermillion Fruit tree, he had asked this good brother to help.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have arranged for a special transportation vehicle, it will arrive tomorrow.¡±


    Actually, if he could, Chen Mobai really wanted to personally transport this priceless Vermillion Fruit Tree to Red Sandstone City on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. But unfortunately, the Immortal Gate had very strict regulations on personal flights across several realms. Even if you have connections, the process takes half a month.


    Luckily, the transportation vehicle Chen Mobai had ordered was delivered just a few days before, which could be used now.


    ¡°But the academy is really stingy, giving you a tree without any fruits.¡±


    Looking at the fruitless Vermillion Fruit Tree before him, which was over three meters tall and had many branches, Wang Xingyu couldn¡¯t help but complain.


    ¡°Having a tree to exchange is already good. Old Chen, when your Vermillion Fruit Tree is full of energy, give me a small branch in the future. I¡¯ll try to cultivate a small one.¡±


    A petite, fresh-faced and beautiful girl standing next to Wang Xingyu spoke. She was Gong Ranran from the Metaphysical Class¡¯s small circle, and her major course was the Spiritual Plant Department.


    Although she focuses on cultivating and planting flowers, trees, etc., Wang Xingyu is dedicated to cultivating medicinal herbs for alchemy.


    Their interests were similar, so they got along well since their freshman year. However, as geniuses of the academy, they both had self-restraint.


    They only confessed their feelings to each other and officially started dating after Wang Xingyu also successfully completed his Foundation Establishment. Chen Mobai learned about their relationship today when Wang Xingyu brought Gong Ranran over.


    ¡°No problem. Once the first batch of fruits from this transplanted Vermillion Fruit Tree matures, I¡¯ll invite you over for a fruit tasting party. You can cut off a branch and take it with you then.¡±


    Only when the Vermillion Fruit Tree is full of energy will it bear flowers and fruit.


    The first fruits that become after transplantation, however, will only be rank-1 due to the new adaptation environment.


    A rank-1 Vermillion Fruit takes one year to bloom, another to bear fruit and yet another to ripen, totaling a span of three years.


    A rank-2 Vermillion Fruit takes three years to blossom, another three to bear fruit, and another three to ripen, requiring nearly ten years for harvest.


    The fruits of the rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree in Dance Tool Dao Academy are considered one of the rarest treasures in their sect. Consuming it greatly benefits cultivators cultivating a Fire Attribute art, and it can even help in Nascent Soul Formation.


    The present dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Cheng Xuan, is said to have succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation because he consumed a rank-5 Vermillion Fruit.


    Many cultivators in the sect are thus willing to cultivate Vermillion Fruit Trees. Because theoretically, a well-nurtured Vermilion Fruit Tree will eventually reach rank-5 after thousands of years if given enough spiritual energy.


    Although cultivators do not have a long lifespan, planting a Vermillion Fruit Tree today could potentially allow their descendants to enjoy its fruits in the future.


    On the second day, Chen Mobai, Wang Xingyu, and Gong Ranran together left Crimson Mountain using the vehicle carrying the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    The transplantation of a spirit tree requires professionals. Although Chen Mobai also has some knowledge in this area, he also invited Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran, the spirit plant masters, just to be on the safe side.


    On the way, Gong Ranran used the Water Moistening Technique to make sure the Vermillion Fruit Tree stayed healthy.


    ¡°Old Chen, you do have a pretty vast place here.¡±


    After traveling day and night for five days and finally arriving at Red Sandstone City, Wang Xingyu jumped down from the vehicle and looked at the orderly layout and towering puppet factories, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This factory and formation were all set up last year by Yunyang Bing and his team. These spots marked for tree planting will serve as the nodes for the formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the many pits dug in this vast wasteland and then pointed to the foothills at the center of the formation. The Array Plate for the ¡°Three Suns in One Breath¡± formation was buried here. The Vermillion Fruit Tree would also be planted here, serving as the hub connecting the formation and the Fire Vein.


    ¡°Leave it to us.¡±


    Filled with energy, Wang Xingyu said. He and Gong Ranran used the technique of controlling objects to move the three-meter-tall Vermillion Fruit Tree from the transportation vehicle. After triple-checking the measurements, they finally decided on the final position.


    ¡°It¡¯s right here.¡±

 Chapter 582 - Chapter 582: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_2

    Chapter 582: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_2


    Gong Ranran put down the jade disc magic tool used to survey the flow of the earth¡¯s veins in her hand, and pointed out a circle with a diameter of half a meter on the sunny slope of the hill.


    Chen Mobai and Wang Xingyu immediately took out their magic tools and after a short while, they dug out a hole large enough for the Vermillion Fruit Tree to be planted.


    ¡°Next, it will require daily watering and rainfall. Once the spirit tree has adapted to its environment and starts budding, it means the transplantation has been successful.¡±


    Gong Ranran, a genius at Dance Tool Dao Academy specializing in spirit plants, had researched the Vermillion Fruit Tree for two years and was very familiar with the habits of this spirit plant.


    ¡°You might have to put in some additional effort for a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai certainly didn¡¯t understand the Vermillion Fruit Tree as deeply as Wang Xingyu, which was why he had invited them to ensure the successful transplantation.


    ¡°We¡¯ll consider this as a practical application of our spirit plant course.¡±


    However, Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran looked quite pleased and content.


    At this point in their relationship, they were deeply in love. No matter the environment, as long as they were together, everything felt like paradise.


    After Chen Mobai treated them to a meal in Red Sandstone City, knowing that they both were spirit plant masters and loved spirit wood, he took them to Red Dawn Institution to see the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly magnificent. I guess only the Big Tree which suppresses the Ten Thousand Waters and Mountains is more majestic than this Blue Jade Wellingtonia.¡±


    Gong Ranran was mesmerised by the Blue Jade Tree at the apex of the highest mountain peak, towering into the clouds and enveloping in a mist that looked like a bridge from earth to the heavens, as she stood among the Wellingtonia forest at the foot of the mountain.


    Even the Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree at Dance Tool Dao Academy pales in comparison to this Blue Jade Wellingtonia in terms of physical appearance.


    ¡°All the green paulownia seedlings here are branches of the Blue Jade Wellingtonia. I¡¯ve also got one.¡±


    Since the mountain top where the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia stood was the seclusion place for Gold Core Cultivators, they could only tour around Red Dawn Institution at the midpoint of the mountain. Chen Mobai bought two green paulownia seedlings as a token of gratitude for Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran.


    They were both very happy with this gift.


    As flowers, fruits, roots, and stems of Blue Jade Wellingtonia were widely sold in the Red Dawn Institution as prime materials for alchemy, Wang Xingyu, being an Alchemist, bought a large batch. He had far more gains in Red Sandstone City compared to Yunyang Bing.


    For the next month, Gong Ranran helped in looking after the Vermillion Fruit Tree while Wang Xingyu shuttled between the Puppet Factory and Red Dawn Institution, trying to master the alchemy system centering around the Blue Jade Wellingtonia.


    Purple Fire Pill, Fire Clearing Pill, Waterfire Pill, Blue Flame Pill, Jade Fire Pill and so on, he started to refine them one by one according to their formulas by purchasing the materials.


    Whenever he was confused, Wang Xingyu put aside his prideful identity of Dance Tools Dao Academy and humbly asked the teachers at Red Dawn Institution for guidance.


    The teachers at the Hundred and Twenty Mansion, many of them merely at the 9th level of Qi Cultivation, felt honored to be consulted by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from an academy and showed their real skills to him.


    By the time Chen Mobai¡¯s Vermillion Fruit Tree had been successfully transplanted, Wang Xingyu entered a critical phase in learning the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution. Consequently, he applied for an internship outside the Daoist Academy, just like Chen Mobai.


    Gong Ranran, who was idle, helped Chen Mobai plant the hundred Fire Spirit Tree seedlings while caring for the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai went to Red Dawn Institution again to buy some green paulownia seedlings. He also went to the neighboring Yu Wood City, known for its cultivation of spirit wood, to purchase Qingbai Spirit Wood, Purple Pine Spirit Wood, White Willow Spirit Wood, Flowering Pear Spirit Wood and other tree seedlings, totaling a thousand, to be planted on the Thousand Wood Nodes of the Yunyang Ice Array Method.


    Of course, he also mixed in seedlings of the Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    Two months later, when Wang Xingyu finally mastered the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution, Chen Mobai¡¯s previously deserted Puppet Factory started to take shape.


    Chai Lun led his team to complete all puppet production, and the equipment ordered from the Academy of Heavenly Crafts had also arrived. Recently, Chen Mobai had been busily adjusting the final settings of the Puppet Factory.


    The factory merely occupied a very small portion of this deserted land. On the remainder of the vast land, various species of Spirit Wood tree seedlings were planted sporadically.


    Once these seedlings fully grew, they would not only turn this place into a land of grace but also complete the ¡°Fire Sun Thousand Wood Array¡± set up by Yunyang Bing and his team, transforming it into a vast woodland.


    ¡°Chen, I should be thanking you this time.¡±


    Wang Xingyu had a joyful look on his face. After incorporating the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution into his own knowledge structure, his alchemy skills improved significantly, and he was confident about passing the Rank-3 Alchemist examination.


    He had already been a Rank-2 Alchemist during his Qi Cultivation period. However, over the years because of not reaching Foundation Establishment, his Alchemy had hit a bottleneck.


    Originally, he had planned to naturally progress as it comes, but surprisingly, after coming to Red Sandstone City to help transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found the opportunity to take his alchemy to the next level.


    ¡°The key point is that you have now built your foundation. The enhancement of your cultivation level is the key to breaking through in Alchemy.¡±


    As an observer, Chen Mobai had a clearer perspective. Wang Xingyu, being the top alchemist of their cohort and possessing exceptional talent, would have been able to absorb knowledge from other sources even if the Alchemy System of the Red Dawn Institution was absent.


    Breaking through from Rank-2 to Rank-3 in Alchemy, the crux lies in the advancement of the cultivation level.


    After all, in the history of the Immortal Sects, there have been many Cultivators who possess Hundred Immortal Skills beyond their cultivation level, but almost none who can cross two ranks.


    Aside from strict testing in the Immortal Sect, many advancements that require bridging the gap often demand a Divine Sense and Spiritual Power that far surpass the limits tolerated by Cultivators.


    For instance, if Chen Mobai were to draw a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman now, he believes he could accomplish it with some training. However, if asked to draw a Rank-4, he could never do it even if his cultivation level was increased ten-fold.


    ¡°Old Chen, then we should return to the Daoist Academy first.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, after mastering the essence of the Red Dawn Institution¡¯s Alchemy, no longer needed to stay in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°I am grateful to you both for this time. You both can keep these two jars of wine.¡±


    Even though it was primarily Gong Ranran who helped this time, and Wang Xingyu mostly went out to study, Chen Mobai still expressed his gratitude to both of them.


    ¡°There is no need for formalities between us.¡±


    Both of them had previously tasted the Spiritual Wine brewed in Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown, so they accepted it without hesitation.


    After bidding them farewell, the Puppet Factory constructed by Chen Mobai reached its final stages of setup.


    Zhou Tiangong also spent his time here, along with Chai Lun. The three talented Puppet Lines individuals gathered together to address the various issues that arose while operating the Puppet Factory.


    ¡°Phew, it has finally succeeded.¡±


    After three consecutive days and nights of uneventful operation, with no alerts from either the equipment or puppets, Chai Lun heaved a sigh of relief, downing the tea from the table in one gulp.


    ¡°I appreciate the hard work from both of you, seniors.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely thanked Zhou Tiangong and Chai Lun, who just waved their hands indicating that it was their responsibility.


    ¡°Although the Puppet Factory has started successfully, it can only serve the production of talisman paper and talisman ink for now. You¡¯ve claimed such a large land here, do you have plans to expand it to other industries in the future?¡±


    Zhou Tiangong held the talisman paper made by the fully mechanized Puppet Factory in the past two days, observing the difference between it and manually made ones, while asking Chen Mobai for his plans.


    ¡°In the future, once the toxic fires are purged, I plan to develop a forest, a medicinal field, and breed some Spirit Beasts. Maybe I¡¯ll start by opening a pharmacy. If that proves profitable, I may extend to the Artifact Refining industry.¡±


    Chen Mobai briefly stated his industrial intentions. But for the next ten years, his focus would mainly be on talisman paper and ink, capitalizing on the spirit wood resources in the Divine Tree Secret Realm to establish his foothold in the Immortal Sects.


    However, making a profit in Spirit Wood Sects isn¡¯t the main focus, as resources have already assigned clear and stringent classifications and timings. The amount of Good Deed Points earned is secondary.


    The crux is to sell things from here in the Tianhe Realm.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For instance, the Rank-1 superior talisman paper in Zhou Tiangong¡¯s hand is priced at only 80 Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sects market.


    However, at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had seen the price being marked as 1 Spirit Stone for a dozen in the sect shop.


    That is a dozen sheets!


    After conversion, the price difference is more than a hundredfold.


    As long as the Divine Wood Sect can protect it, Chen Mobai is confident about taking over the entire talisman paper and ink market in the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: Chapter 381: Returning to the Divine Wood Sect_1

    Chapter 583: Chapter 381: Returning to the Divine Wood Sect_1


    After all the equipment and puppets have been tuned and adjusted, the puppet factory that had plunged Chen Mobai into a mountain of debt was finally completed.


    After seeing off Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong, Chen Mobai checked his account. With less than a million Good Deed Points left, he couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly pressured.


    Although his status as a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage and having Qin Baipeng as his guarantor meant that his interest rate was at its lowest, the Good Deed Points in his account were barely enough to cover the interest due at the end of the year.


    The urgent task at hand was to open up distribution channels.


    This applied to both the Tianhe Realm and the Daoist Academy world.


    However, Chen Mobai already had a plan in mind.


    Within the Daoist Academy, there were only minimum standards set for the production of talisman paper.


    The talisman papers produced by countless factories in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Realms and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands all meet the minimum standards, with little difference in quality.


    This, in turn, led to much differentiation.


    For instance, some talisman factories, unable to survive the intense competition in the everyday talisman paper market, would start improving the quality of their talisman paper and strive for excellence.


    Practically every factory in the Daoist Academy¡¯s talisman market had its own high-quality products to tout.


    The Feitian Talisman Factory, for instance, had a type of talisman paper called ¡°Biyu¡± researched by Wu Shangru.


    Named after the special product ¡®Biyu Sweetgum¡¯ from Red Sandstone City, this Rank-2 talisman paper was well-known in the talisman market of the Heavenly Realms and Blessed Lands in the east of the Daoist Academy.


    The process of making this Biyu talisman paper was far more complex than that of Rank-1 talisman paper.


    The pulp for Rank-1 talisman paper only required a practitioner-worker to add in the various spiritual elements at the right proportions to the smashed and boiled wood pulp. The subsequent steps such as removing impurities and pulp coagulation were all automatically done by the paper-making machine.


    However, the pulp manufacture for Rank-2 talisman paper was not too different from alchemy. Even though Feitian Talisman Factory had specially made equipment for this, the materials consumed were several times more than that of Rank-1.


    On top of that, experienced papermakers needed to constantly monitor the pulp quality. Excessive or insufficient spiritual element additives would impact the quality of the final product.


    Feitian Talisman Factory, operating at full capacity, could produce about 10 sheets of Rank-2 Biyu talisman paper in a day.


    However, the same factory could produce 100 times that amount, or 1000 sheets a day, of Rank-1 premium talisman paper.


    In the Daoist Academy market, the price of Rank-2 talisman papers ranged from 500 to 5000 Good Deed Points, with top-quality Rank-2 talisman papers fetching prices almost comparable to Rank-3 talisman papers.¡¯


    Unfortunately, even when Wu Shangru himself oversaw the paper-making process, the highest quality of Biyu talisman paper ever produced was just of intermediate grade on the Rank-2 scale.


    Aside from the Biyu talisman paper, the other specialty of the Feitian Talisman Factory was a kind of talisman ink called ¡°Chixia.¡±


    Thanks to the abundant Danzhu Ling Sha resources in Red Sandstone City, it relied on its high-quality materials and successfully produced Rank-3 talisman ink at the Feitian Talisman Factory.


    Chen Mobai had already figured it out. Once the puppet factory was finished, it could work 24 hours a day without stopping. The equipment he paid a hefty sum for from Tiangong Equipment Factory could perfectly utilize the advantages of the puppets. It could produce Rank-1 talisman paper at a rate 10 times faster than the Feitian Talisman Factory.


    The downside was that it could only produce Rank-1 talisman papers and inks.


    So, from now on, the Feitian Talisman Factory would be in charge of the high-end, premium-quality Biyu talisman paper and Chixia talisman ink, while the puppet factory would channel all its might into generating Rank-1 talisman paper and ink. It would strive to snatch a portion of market share in the Tianhe Realm as well as the Daoist Academy.


    On this morning,


    Chen Mobai, who just finished meditating with a Spirit Stone in his hand, opened his eyes, and seeing that the spiritual energy in his Spirit Stone had depleted, he put it back into his storage bag.


    This thing was a Spiritual Extract, which could make both Qing Nu and Wang Xingyu jump for joy.


    He got up and pushed open the main door of the wooden house, which was located at the heart of the puppet factory, on a small hill where the Vermillion Fruit trees were cultivated.


    This place was uninhabitable for ordinary people. But since he directly pushed the Spirit Stone into his Pure Yang Daoist Body, there was no need to absorb the spiritual energy still tainted with fire poison here.


    In addition to his Pure Yang Daoist Body, the cultivation of his Five Elements Finger also only required applying ointment. He didn¡¯t slack off in exercising his Divine Sense either.


    The wooden house on the hill was naturally created from talismans.


    Wooden House Talismans were deemed essential for the Daoist Academy, being extremely useful in both the Tianhe Realm and here.


    Apart from his home, the one thing Chen Mobai was now most familiar with was the wooden house.


    Be it at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, atop Little South Mountain, or here, they were all identical.


    Upon stepping out of the wooden house, Chen Mobai looked towards the sky.


    Far above in the sky, there was a cloud of mist, tinged with green and red, visible yet elusive.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± that had been refined further by Ming Yuhua.


    Earlier in the year, when Chen Mobai was keeping busy with the student council affairs at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and preparing for the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, he used his free time to ask Ming Yuhua to infuse the Clear Wind Evil into the artifact.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk, after further refining, acquired an additional green aura to its original pale red hue hence turning into the current green and red misty clouds.


    Above the green and red misty clouds, a faint silhouette could be seen sitting down.


    It is a puppet which had reached the Golden Core Realm, powered by the energy from a premium-grade Spirit Stone.

 Chapter 584 - Chapter 584: Chapter 381: Return to Divine Wood Sect_2

    Chapter 584: Chapter 381: Return to Divine Wood Sect_2


    Deep in the distant void, an infinitesimal thread of Solar Essence dispersed, which, after being absorbed by the formless puppet upon the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, slowly fell towards here.


    Chen Mobai had already divided his mind into thoughts, entrusting them upon the formless puppet.


    Ever since he deduced the method of evolving the puppet to the Golden Core Realm and refining Pure Yang Purple Qi, he has tried several times, all ending in failure.


    In the previous attempts, either the Solar Essence took no notice, or it noticed but did not yield, or was influenced in the wrong direction.


    After several failures, the top-grade spirit stone energy he got from the Water Mansion was about to drop below 40%. If he failed this time, he planned to give it up for now.


    Fortunately, a thread of Solar Essence perfectly followed the puppet¡¯s attraction this time. From the starry space outside, it fell towards Red Sandstone City¡¯s poisoned land overhead.


    Just as Chen Mobai was concentrating all his thoughts on the puppet, the thread of falling Solar Essence, upon contact with the outermost atmosphere of Earth, seemed to be absorbed like a water droplet falling into a vast ocean, disappearing completely under his perception.


    [What is going on?]


    Chen Mobai was confused. After hesitating several times, he did not call Che Yucheng to ask about this.


    After all, once he brought up this matter, the top-grade Spirit Stone would definitely be revealed.


    Although the teacher was very good to him, top-grade Spirit Stones were considered strategic resources in the cultivation world; even a Gold Core Cultivator would need to apply to use them.


    He was indeed known as the top Foundation Establishment cultivator in the cultivation world, but the origin of the high-grade spirit stone was unexplainable.


    So, thinking it over, Chen Mobai decided to keep this to himself and suspended the refinement of Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Then, with a thought, he moved with the formless puppet to the sky thousands of kilometers high, becoming a red and green swirling mist, like an exotic cloud, rapidly falling towards the ground.


    When it reached the airspace above the puppet factory, a faint red light shield emerged. This was set up by Yunyang Bing. It was a large formation that had formed after a thousand seedlings were planted. Though its power had not yet fully developed, it had basic defensive capabilities.


    Standing beside the Vermillion Fruit Tree, Chen Mobai waved his hand and a hole big enough for the formless puppet to pass through was opened in the protective shield covering the entire poisoned land.


    Chen Mobai watched the scene of the red mist falling from the sky through the formation in awe, a sudden spark igniting in his brain.


    He suddenly looked up at the sky.


    He seemed to be lost in thought.


    He thought of something: All the spiritual energy on the entire Earth, including the stellar lights from outside, were already suppressed and controlled by the sects. So was the Solar Essence drawn down by his formless puppet already absorbed and refined by the large formation that enveloped the whole star?¡±


    Just like if he, the controller of the formation, doesn¡¯t unseal it, the formless puppet would need to have the strength to break the whole formation to enter this poisoned land.


    The Solar Essence that he worked hard to attract while refining Pure Yang Purple Qi within the sect territory was immediately intercepted and refined by the sect¡¯s large formation upon its entry to Earth.


    Although it was just speculation, Chen Mobai, recalling the scene of the Solar Essence falling like water into the sea, felt that this should be the case.


    [I will test it out in the Eastern Wilderness to see if this is really the case.]


    All the spiritual energy on Earth, whether it is underground, from the sky, or in between, was suppressed and controlled by the sect.


    But Chen Mobai had another world for immortal cultivation with a sun.


    But this time, before he teleported, he made a trip to the warehouse of the puppet factory.


    A full one hundred thousand pieces of Rank-1 top-grade blank talismans were neatly stacked on shelves.


    This was the production of the puppet factory in ten days, equivalent to the quarterly production of the Flying Talisman Parchment Factory.


    With the endless supply of Red Sun Spirit Tree materials in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai did not hesitate to expend spirit lightning, maximizing the efficiency of this puppet factory.


    However, these talisman papers, lacking the certification of the spirit trees, would easily draw the attention of the market regulatory department if they suddenly began to circulate massively in the immortal door market.


    Chen Mobai was a patient man. He first released double the usual annual production of the Puppet Factory¡¯s talisman papers, and planned to sell the rest in the Eastern Wilderness.


    He took out twelve thousand talisman papers. Upon scanning them with his divine sense, he found that most of them were top-notch rank-1 specimens. About 2% were of the intermediate grade within rank-1, but there wasn¡¯t a single lower-grade one, also known as defect product.


    Apart from his Puppet Factory equipment being brand new, it was largely due to the abundant spiritual energy of the raw material from the Red Sun Spirit Tree, which naturally resulted in a higher quality paper pulp.


    When Chen Mobai was young and earning pocket money, the talisman papers he cut were defective products from the paper-making process of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory. These were usually purchased by students, and the lower-grade rank-1 talisman papers were perfectly suitable for beginners.


    These defect products were also staff benefits at the Flying Sky Talisman Factory. When Wu Shangru was the boss, he used to give them directly to the employees.


    Chen Mobai, carrying a storage bag filled with talisman papers, teleported to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Before long, the three disciples who had received his message of coming out of seclusion all arrived.


    ¡°Hmm, has there been anything major happening within the sect recently?¡±


    Standing in front of a wooden house, Chen Mobai asked about the situation with familiarity.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, there¡¯s nothing major. But a while ago, the Sect Leader led a team to visit Golden Cliff. He seemed to want to bring you, the sect¡¯s foremost Sword Cultivator too. However, when I mentioned you were in seclusion, he gave up on the idea.¡±


    The one speaking was Luo Yixuan.


    She represented Chen Mobai in the Sect and communicated with the other Foundation Establishment True Cultivators. Any correspondence that Chu Zuoshu sent to Xiao Nanshan on behalf of the Sect Leader, would, in Chen Mobai¡¯s absence due to seclusion, be forwarded to her.


    ¡°Golden Cliff! What a pity. If I had a chance to exchange ideas with the Sword Cultivators of that sect, my Sword Dao would definitely have greatly improved.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but regret a bit.


    As a Sect of the same lineage, every year the Divine Wood Sect would dispatch a group of Sword Cultivator disciples for an exchange to Golden Cliff. When Chen Mobai was still practicing Qi cultivation, he yearned for this opportunity.


    However, at that time, he intended to reach the Foundation Establishment first, and also he found the Eastern Wilderness quite dangerous and didn¡¯t want to venture out.


    As a result, he kept postponing this idea year after year. It was only after he became the chief disciple, then attained the Foundation Establishment, that he finally made up his mind to venture out.


    Although Chen Mobai is currently known in Eastern Wilderness as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s foremost Sword Cultivator and even bears the title ¡°Second Sword of the Eastern Wilderness¡±, he himself knows that his Sword Dao cultivation is purely bullying people with his higher realm.


    Compared with the Sword Cultivators of Golden Cliff, who improved their Sword Dao Realm through constant battles and fights, he felt a little ashamed.


    When Chen Mobai now combats others, he simply uses the power of Sword Light or Sword Sha to overwhelm them. If he could make a trip to Golden Cliff, he was confident that it would certainly address the shortcomings in his technique.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s another matter ¨C you are already the town guard of Jian Country this year. Theoretically, you should visit the five Fang Markets in person.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, the eldest disciple, reminded him.


    ¡°Hmm, I came out of seclusion this time exactly because of this matter. I have already delayed it for nearly three months, and spring is almost over. If I delay it any longer, it would not be proper.¡±

    Chen Mobai initially planned to take some time at the beginning of the year to inspect the markets. After getting acquainted with the leaders of the various Immortal Cultivation families, he had planned to hand over this responsibility to Liu Wenbo.


    However, the matter of the Puppet Factory turned out to be more complicated than he expected. In addition to the Daoist Academy and the Rank-2 Talisman Maker¡¯s examination, everything got delayed until now.


    But now seemed to be the perfect time.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, divide these talisman papers into bundles of 12 each.¡±


    Zhuo Ming stared blankly at the heap of high-quality talisman papers Chen Mobai pulled out of his storage bag.

 Chapter 585 - Chapter 585: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_1

    Chapter 585: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_1


    At Black Cloud Mountain, Yuan Hongyuan opened his eyes, seated beneath the Immortal Peach tree.


    A message talisman descended, which he caught in his outstretched hand.


    After reading the message, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but in the end, he made up his mind.


    ¡°So, the time has finally come!¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan muttered to himself, getting up from his seat.


    Ever since obtaining the Huangquan Holy Fruit, he had been waiting for the order to assassinate Chen Guixian from the organization.


    This wait lasted half a year.


    ¡°Ancestor, we have arranged for the key disciples in the clan, who possess Spiritual Roots, to be dispatched in batches to the territories of the other six major sects.¡±


    The clan head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shaoyuan, promptly reported the situation from atop Black Cloud Mountain after receiving the order.


    ¡°Very good. If we all shift out, we will certainly draw the attention of the Divine Wood Sect and the other cultivating families. You and Little Si take a group of people to the White Moon Market to connect with the organization¡¯s members in advance and arrange the assassination plan and formation.¡±


    In the face of the imminent battle, Yuan Hongyuan felt surprisingly peaceful. He disclosed the location of the ambush to Yuan Shaoyuan, and then turned to look at the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree behind him. With a wave of his hand, he plucked off all the fruit on it, more than a dozen in total.


    ¡°Take these with you and announce that I have made a breakthrough and would wish to exchange them for the Bai family¡¯s Snow Needle Immortal Buds to enhance my state of divine sense.¡±


    ¡°Yes, ancestor.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan took the three peaches handed to him by Yuan Hongyuan, his hands trembling slightly.


    These could be considered the most precious items of the Yuan family since Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment a hundred years ago.


    A hundred years ago, the Yuan family seized this land of Spirit Veins from the declining Liu family. But to ensure the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree wasn¡¯t broken by the Liu family, Yuan Hongyuan not only let go of the Liu family¡¯s descendants but even allowed them to take away all the mature spiritual medicines from the mountain¡¯s medicinal fields.


    That¡¯s because the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree was simply too precious.


    If it were to be broken, firstly, the rank-3 Spirit Vein on Black Cloud Mountain would fall, and secondly, the rank-3 Immortal Peaches produced by this Spirit Tree are renowned Spirit Fruits in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If consumed by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, each one could directly increase their Liquid Spiritual Power by 20 droplets, saving them years of laborious meditation.


    These Rank-3 Immortal Peaches were essentially regarded as Rank-3 spiritual medicines, and moreover, they were pure and natural without any Danless Poison, each one being worth thousands of spirit stones.


    However, although the fruit was good, only when consuming the first one would it provide all of its spiritual effects.


    Upon consuming the second, the effect would be halved; by the third, the effect would be half of the second.


    After consuming five, these Rank-3 Immortal Peaches would become useless to the cultivator.


    Further consumption would merely satisfy one¡¯s palate.


    Yuan Hongyuan had long consumed five peaches, and among the descendants of the Yuan family, there were no other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, so the fruits of this Immortal Peach Spirit Tree have been left untouched for the past hundred years.


    Of course, if other cultivators wanted to exchange precious items for them, the Yuan family would be more than happy to oblige.


    Just awhile ago, the ancestor of Bai family, one of Jian Country¡¯s seven cultivating families, had previously exchanged their rare spiritual tea for three Immortal Peaches. A few years ago, someone in Bai family had successfully completed their Foundation Establishment. The ancestor of Bai family thought to exchange for three more peaches to increase the cultivation level of the junior members.


    However, Yuan Hongyuan was busy with his own cultivation breakthrough and had not paid any attention to the matter.


    Now, it seemed like a good time to raise the issue as an excuse to head to White Moon Market.


    Yuan Hongyuan knew that family cultivators like them who were at the stage of Foundation Establishment were actually under observation by the Divine Wood Sect. As someone who usually held secluded cultivation sessions, leaving Black Cloud Mountain would easily draw attention.


    However, after this planned assassination, the Yuan family wouldn¡¯t be able to remain in Jian Country.


    So, Yuan Hongyuan straightaway plucked all the fruit from the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree, regardless of whether they were mature or not.


    However, he still couldn¡¯t bring himself to cut down the Spirit Tree.


    After all, if the Divine Wood Sect were to be destroyed in the future, his Yuan family might still have the chance to come back here.


    ¡­


    After Chen Mobai ended his closed-door cultivation, he made his three disciples lead the commoners farming below South Mountain in dividing up the talisman papers, while he took control of the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and shot into the sky.


    Dividing his mind into thoughts, he dropped into his puppet. He first glanced at the spiritual energy bar on the top-right corner of his vision, which now showed only 39% remaining.


    If it were any other immortal cultivator, they¡¯d be incredibly distressed by this point, and even hesitant to proceed with the experiment.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind. He had been jumping between two worlds for many years now and had managed to replace the concept of the preciousness of spirit stones in his mind.


    As the spiritual energy bar quickly decreased by 3%, the numbers in the eyes of the puppetry technique¡¯s peak product jumped to ¡°nine¡± simultaneously in a split second. Then, an energy current representative of a Gold Core, albeit a hundred times smaller, burst from the puppet¡¯s forehead.


    However, under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, this energy concentrated and rushed straight into the sky.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As the sun in Tianhe Realm differed from the one back on Earth, Chen Mobai needed to re-explore the frequency to attract and absorb solar essence.


    Two days later, when the puppet¡¯s spiritual energy bar was almost below 30%, finally a wisp of solar essence was drawn down. After passing through the earth fetal membrane of Tianhe Realm, it transformed into Big Sun Purple Gas.


    Seeing the purple gas in front of him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a pleased expression. However, this was just the first step. Whether he could successfully refine Pure Yang Purple Gas depended on the puppet¡¯s performance.


    Under his divine sense¡¯s urging, this masterpiece of immortal cultivation¡¯s puppetry technique began to slowly circulate the spiritual power modeled in the puppet¡¯s Dantian and Qi Sea to move it outside the body.


    Although its size was reduced by a hundred times, it was indeed a real Pure Yang Spiritual Power at the Golden Core Stage. And it was more than sufficient for refining Pure Yang Purple Gas.

 Chapter 586 - Chapter 586: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_2

    Chapter 586: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_2


    Chen Mobai slowly fused his Pure Yang Spiritual Power with Big Sun Purple Gas, and after nearly an hour, he finally completed the harmonization.


    Looking at the shimmering purple glow in his palm, a smile emerged on his slightly tired face.


    Although this Pure Yang Purple Gas still needs to be constantly refined through the Flame Lighting Technique in order to adapt to his physical body, at least he has already saved time in advance.


    If the Immortal Gate indeed requires him to endure sixty years of hard work, then this time can be used to refine a complete Pure Yang Purple Gas using the No-Phase Puppet.


    Although the Pure Yang Purple Gas only contributes ten percent to the breakthrough of the major realm, it is at least equivalent to a Five Elements Gold Core Pill.


    A delighted Chen Mobai rooted around in his storage bag and found the jade box he used to store Rank-3 herbs. He placed the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas into it, and just as he was about to seal it shut-


    Crack!


    The jade box fractured from the middle and spread outwards, finally shattering into jade fragments.


    Chen Mobai looked at the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas that had escaped from the confines of the jade box and fell deep into thought.


    The original form of this object is the explosive Solar Essence from outside the world. Although it had been softened by the Earth¡¯s Fetal Membrane when it fell into the Tianhe Realm, its essence is still an energy of extreme yang and hardiness.


    Jade is of a cold nature and while it is very effective for storing herbs, it has the opposite effect on Pure Yang Purple Gas.


    After understanding this, Chen Mobai rummaged through his storage bag once more yet he couldn¡¯t find a single suitable item.


    After hesitating slightly, he took out the Yellow Skin Gourd from his waist.


    Inside it contained a Primordial Yang Sword Evil that he had re-condensed.


    As a Fire Spirit Body, he can actually absorb the Primordial Yang Sword Evil into his own body, however, since there is already Green Flames Sword Slaughter in his Dantian Qi Sea, he was worried the two types of Sword Sha would conflict.


    Moreover, whether this Yellow Skin Gourd could withstand Pure Yang Purple Gas was still a question.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to toss this strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas inside, he suddenly remembered that he had a better item definitely capable of withstanding Pure Yang Purple Gas on his person.


    He spat out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and it appeared in front of him.


    Once the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas went into the mirror and dyed it a faint purple, the Rank-3 Magic Artifact took it in without any rejection like the jade box had.


    With a face full of satisfaction, Chen Mobai descended onto the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    His three disciples had gone down the mountain with twelve thousand talisman papers, leaving only him here.


    He left the No-Phase Puppet here and cast his Divine Sense into it, preparing to control it in the coming days to condense Pure Yang Purple Gas daily.


    However, this brought up another problem; won¡¯t he have to leave the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror here too?


    This artifact was now one of his trump cards. In a dangerous place like the Eastern Wasteland, it would be best to take it with him even when patrolling within sect territory.


    After some contemplation, Chen Mobai took out the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. He then opened the lid of the Yellow Skin Gourd and let the Primordial Yang Sword Sha float out entirely.


    Using his Divine Sense, he carefully guided the Pure Yang Purple Gas into the empty Yellow Skin Gourd.


    His expression a little tense, the Yellow Skin Gourd really did withstand it without any fluctuations.


    ¡°This thing should at least be a Rank-2 Spiritual Object, no wonder it was used to store Rank-2 Evil Qi.¡±


    Looking at the Yellow Skin Gourd which he had gotten from a Loose Cultivator in Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    He recalled that Yue Zutao also had one and wondered if it he could buy it from him to use.


    Yue Zutao likely didn¡¯t have much use for it, right?


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai carefully absorbed the suspended Primordial Yang Sword Sha into his own Qi Sea, using the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to isolate it from the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    However, having an additional thing within his body felt a bit strange.


    Moreover, because he hadn¡¯t cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, this power felt slightly incompatible with his body.


    But, soon after, Chen Mobai got some good news from Luo Yixuan.


    Apparently, Yue Zutao had returned to the sect.


    ¡°At the beginning of the year, Elder Uncle Zhou Wangshen cultivated the Taoist Body of Longevity, breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; he then confidently emerged from his seclusion,¡±


    ¡°Elder Uncle Zhou was initially the Town Guard of Lei Nation, but due to the factor of Elder Ancestor Zhou¡¯s seclusion, he did not even participate in the major battle with Mountain Shaker Peak. Many within the sect had quite a few criticisms of him.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after his emergence, he did not even celebrate but instantly hastened to the Lei Nation to fulfill his duty as the Town Guard.¡±


    Yue Zutao had merely been there to substitute as the Town Guard. As soon as Zhou Wangshen arrived, he was relieved of his duties.¡±


    Even though the war between the two sects had ended, but the hatred with Mountain Shaker Peak had been formed. The number of cultivators who had died or been injured on the borders of Lei Nation this very year were quite numerous, including a few mysteriously disappeared disciples from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Without much thought, it can be concluded that the odds were relatively grim.¡±


    These matters could not be directly ascribed to Mountain Shaker Peak, there were not only no direct pieces of evidence. There were also many rogue cultivators who took advantage of the friction between the two sects, hiding within the borders, hunting disciples from both sects and blaming their deeds on each other.¡±


    Even though Yue Zutao had fiercely killed quite a few, the Eastern Wasteland was never short on rogue cultivators.¡±


    How could a loose cultivator gain resources without plundering others?¡±


    After all, many rogue cultivators did not have the inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal and could only rely on plundering as a method.¡±


    After the emergence of Zhou Wangshen, his attitude of facing difficulty head-on saved some face for the Sect.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, after my return, I heard that you were in seclusion and did not wish to disturb you.¡±


    At Yue Zutao¡¯s courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai was sitting with him, drinking tea.¡±


    ¡°Have a taste; this was bestowed by the Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally brought two jars of good wine upon his arrival, but since Yue Zutao had already brewed a pot of tea, they didn¡¯t switch to the wine.¡±


    The color of the tea soup was apricot yellow, and the color of the green buds within the teacup were silver-white. They stood within the tea like thin needles. The buds were covered with white fluff, and a light shake emitted glimmers of silver light. A clear aroma pierced the nostrils, making his mind clear of worldly matters.¡±


    Another sip left a fragrant taste on his lips and teeth. As it entered his stomach, it seemed as if all the restlessness in his heart was brushed away, leaving only clarity and purity.¡±


    ¡°What wonderful tea!¡±


    Chen Mobai, after drinking it, opened his eyes and felt that his Divine Sense had risen slightly.¡±


    Knowing that his Divine Sense Realm was already at the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he had spent this half a year trying hard to break through, but was unable to overcome this bottleneck. Perhaps he hadn¡¯t sufficiently accumulated experience, or the opportunity for a breakthrough hadn¡¯t arrived yet.¡±


    But after drinking this tea today, he felt that his Divine Sense Realm, which hadn¡¯t improved in a long time, was starting to fluctuate, which surprised him slightly.¡±


    Maybe he could use this spiritual tea to breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the origin of this tea? Is it cultivated within our sect?¡±


    Yue Zutao shook his head indicating the tea did not originate from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡¯ spiritual tea from the Bai family of the Snow Peak. Their family has three thousand-year-old tea trees. Drinking this type of spiritual tea can enhance one¡¯s Divine Sense Realm, and it even has a short-term effect on boosting one¡¯s understanding.¡±


    ¡°Half of the Snow Needle Immortal Buds harvested from the three thousand-year-old tea trees of the Bai family of the Snow Peak are, every year, offered as a tribute to our two elder ancestors from the Divine Wood Sect. This year, since the Sect Leader just assumed his position, they also presented two ounces of tea leaves.¡±


    ¡°I have made some contributions in guarding the Lei Nation this time, and the Sect Leader gifted me half an ounce to taste.¡±


    It was fortunate that Chen Mobai had come at the right time. The pot of tea brewed today was the last of Yue Zutao¡¯s Snow Needle Immortal Bud supplies. After this there would be none left.¡±


    ¡°If this tea tree is so miraculous, why doesn¡¯t the sect collect tea seeds and cultivate them on the Giant Tree Ridge?¡±


    ¡°We have tried, but these tea seeds are not compatible with the spiritual energy of the earth veins within the sect. The head of the Spirit Plant Department personally cared for them for a year but could not keep them alive.¡±

    Yue Zutao said regretfully. Although his cultivation level was locked by the Tree Fruit of Longevity, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion that was related to his Divine Sense Realm could be normally enhanced and broken through. Hence, he paid special attention to elixirs related to Divine Sense.¡±


    He had tasted this Snow Needle Immortal Bud several times in the past and even bought and cultivated tea seeds from the Bai family of Snow Peak, but the outcome was the same as when the Spirit Plant Department transplantation.¡±


    ¡°I applied to the sect for a survey of the five major markets in Jian Country. I¡¯m also quite interested in this Snow Needle Immortal Bud. I¡¯ll buy a tea tree species and try to see if it can survive on Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the unused Large Tung Flower Root Stem he had.¡±


    This thing could just be used to graft the tea species.¡±

 Chapter 587 - Chapter 587: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_1

    Chapter 587: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_1


    After chatting with Yue Zutao for a while, Chen Mobai mentioned the matter of the Yellow Skin Gourd.


    ¡°If you need it, brother, you can take it,¡± Yue Zutao said.


    Yue had long since refined the Mysterious Yin Sha inside the gourd into God Thunderbolts. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t spoken about it, he would have completely forgotten about this gourd, which he usually kept at the bottom of his storage bag.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Yue,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    He set down the two jars of wine, picked up the Yellow Skin Gourd, and made his excuses to leave.


    ¡°The Wang family of Tiankui was left behind by a deceased senior brother of mine. Now that you¡¯re the town guard of Jian Country, I ask that you please look after them,¡± Yue Zutao said, just before Chen Mobai left.


    ¡°Of course,¡± said Chen Mobai, recalling the history of the Wang family after a brief thought.


    Liu Ruzhong, the previous Town Guard, had once told him about the Wang family¡¯s lineage. The Wang family were the descendants of Jojo Ou¡¯s disciple, and Chu Zuoshu was also one of Jojo Ou¡¯s disciples, which matched up perfectly with what Yue Zutao just said.


    After leaving Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai went to the Reward Virtue Hall to receive the order from the sect allowing him to leave.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to leave the sect when not on a mission, they would have to report to their respective hall and then have the case reported up to the Shenmu Hall.


    Once the order from the Shenmu Hall was approved, it would be sent back to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    ¡°The Luo family of Huanbo Market is my own family, with the current head being my younger brother. I ask that you take good care of them in the next ten years,¡± Luo Xue¡¯er, the acting hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, said with a smile after exchanging a few words with Chen Mobai.


    Coming out of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai deeply understood the meaning of what Liu Ruzhong had said before.


    All seven large families of Jian Country had deep-rooted relationships with the Divine Wood Sect. Even though he was representing the Divine Wood Sect, he would have to be extremely careful in dealing with them.


    However, Chen Mobai had no intention of extorting resources from the cultivator families of Jian Country, so he just needed to abide by the rules and consider the Divine Wood Sect as his backing.


    Chu Zuoshu had taken a group of people to Golden Cliff, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay in the Divine Wood City for long and immediately returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    The Shenmu Hall directly managed two departments: the Transmission Department and the Witchcraft Department.


    The Transmission Department was responsible for all clerical work in the sect, such as maintaining the Book Pavilion where the Cultivation Techniques and the Hundred Arts of the Cultivation Immortal are kept.


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s application to leave the sect and inspect the five markets of Jian Country had been stamped by the Reward Virtue Hall and the Shenmu Hall, a copy of it was delivered to the Transmission Department.


    After checking the document, a cultivator named Du Feng with an average appearance nodded and handed it to a Qi Practitioner who put it on a shelf in the order of the date.


    At the end of the day, Du Feng left the department and returned to his rented house. He carefully set up a Protective Array and then took out a special Talisman paper, on which he wrote down all the details about Chen Mobai¡¯s trip.


    After writing, Du Feng burned the piece of talisman paper.


    In a Cave Dwelling on a small Spirit Vein outside the Giant Tree Ridge, a cultivator who was currently meditating with a Spirit Stone suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up one of the weirdly patterned talisman papers on the stone table which was blank in the middle.


    He injected his Spiritual Power into it and, in a manner akin to a magic trick, the content that Du Feng had written on the paper he burned appeared in the blank part of the talisman paper.


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s here,¡± said the cultivator who had been waiting here for almost a year. His voice was excited.


    Using the same method, he burnt the paper and sent the content to the person in charge of Huangquan in Yuhu Market.


    It didn¡¯t take long for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators involved in the ambush plan to learn about Chen Mobai¡¯s trip.


    After a final check of his five black Array Flags and sensing the roaring Spiritual Power within his body, Yuan Hongyuan confidently walked down from Black Cloud Mountain.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master, the quality of these talisman papers is almost reaching Rank-2,¡± said Zhuo Ming, a Talisman Maker, as she looked at the bound Talisman papers brought by three disciples.


    ¡°You three can each take ten bundles for your personal use,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    On hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately took his words ungraciously.


    Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbo, who came from a family background and devoted themselves to improving their Cultivation Levels instead of learning Talisman-making, were startled because the talisman papers were of no use to them.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, you can take mine,¡± said Luo Yixuan smartly, immediately giving her ten bundles of talisman papers to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°Just take it, sister. We don¡¯t know how to make talismans,¡± Liu Wenbo also said. Zhuo Ming glanced at Chen Mobai and, seeing that he had no objections, happily put them into her storage bag.


    ¡°Ming, take an additional hundred bundles. They will be sold in the Xiao Nanshan Shop in the future.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the three disciples had taken their share, Chen Mobai suddenly gave a piece of good news to Zhuo Ming, making her overjoyed.


    Although the talisman papers were not hers, having them in her storage bag still made her, a Talisman Maker, feel extraordinarily fulfilled.


    ¡°Master, how should we price these talisman papers?¡± asked Zhuo Ming, touching the tough, delicate, and clean talisman papers with smooth Spiritual Power transmission.


    ¡°The same as the market price, one Spirit Stone for a bundle,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    Hearing what Chen Mobai said, Zhuo Ming looked up at him in surprise.

 Chapter 588 - Chapter 588: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_2

    Chapter 588: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_2


    ¡°Master, these beautiful talisman papers must take a lot of effort to refine. Shouldn¡¯t we name a price?¡±


    As a talisman maker herself, Zhuo Ming once worked in a small talisman workshop with her father during her childhood. There, they produced the lowest-grade talisman papers circulated amongst loose cultivators. The papers were dull yellow in color, and you could even see unprocessed tree bark in the paper, signifying their poor quality.


    A slightly more advanced talisman maker who could refine middle and upper-level Rank-1 talisman papers would usually opt to buy spiritual objects to serve as talisman paper substitutes, like bamboo slices, Lingye, or beast skins.


    Even though these substitutes require soaking in specific medicinal solutions, they can ensure smooth transmission of spiritual power and stable solidification of spells.


    Zhuo Ming also once assisted her father in making beast skin talisman papers. It was a strenuous process, taking at least ten days or half a month to successfully produce a single sheet.


    At present, the stack of talisman papers in her hand seemed to be of even higher quality than the best beast skin paper she had ever created. She thought they¡¯d be sold for at least two spirit stones a dozen.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not be too unreasonable to our fellow talisman paper businesses within the sect. We should stick to market pricing,¡±


    Chen Mobai made a somewhat cryptic statement, which left Zhuo Ming puzzled, though Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan seemed to have gained some insights.


    None of his three disciples asked where these talisman papers originated from.


    ¡°Wen Bo, get ready. Tomorrow, you will accompany your master on a tour of the five major markets of the Founding Nation.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo had been anxiously waiting for this day.


    ¡°Master, since I don¡¯t have much to do either, why don¡¯t I accompany you and elder brother?¡±


    At this moment, Luo Yixuan chimed in. After thinking for a bit, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    This trip was primarily to set the distribution channels for his talisman paper and ink. Liu Wenbo alone might not be able to manage it all in the future, so bringing along a clever disciple could be beneficial.


    Zhuo Ming also appeared intrigued. After arriving at the Divine Wood Sect from Southstream Market with Chen Mobai, she had not stepped out of the Giant Tree Ridge, which made her yearn.


    She had spent four demanding years, but after being accepted by Xiao Nanshan, she was extremely content and felt a sense of happiness she would only dare dream of.


    ¡°Ming, you stay home.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming earnestly nodded her head, but she felt a hint of embarrassment in her heart. She blamed her lack of skills in magic duels and her dull social skills. In the future, she pledged to correct these weaknesses and share her master¡¯s worries and difficulties, just like her senior and junior disciples.


    The next day.


    When Chen Mobai descended the mountain, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were already waiting for him at the mountain¡¯s base.


    Zhuo Ming was also present, dressed in coarse linen clothes and a woven bamboo basket tied around her waist, filled with an assortment of farming tools. After sending her master and fellow disciples off, she planned to head to the spirit fields to check on the young seedlings, which she had sown at the beginning of spring.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving everything in your hands. If something arises that you can¡¯t solve, look for Brother Yue in Divine Wood City.¡±


    After instructing Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai, on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, took his two disciples and flew out of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    Their first stop was Yuhu Market, closest to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Before I achieved the Foundation Establishment, I left the sect and went west. I initially intended to return to my hometown in Yun Country. However, during my journey, experiencing the beauty of nature gave me further insight. I ended up renting a cave dwelling in Yuhu Market and consumed a Foundation Building Pill, successfully establishing my foundation,¡± Chen Mobai, while pointing at the Yuhu Market below, began repeating the same words he used to tell scholars E Yun and Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Master¡¯s talent is indeed miraculous. We¡¯re nothing compared to you.¡±


    Liu Wenbo sighed from the bottom of his heart, while Luo Yixuan looked on with admiration.


    Feeling somewhat awkward, Chen Mobai let out an embarrassed chuckle and guided the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± down.


    At the entrance of the market, several loose cultivators and Qi practitioners acting as guides milled around, but they all showed respect and avoided Chen Mobai as he descended from the sky.


    As everyone knew, the only cultivators capable of flying were at the Foundation Establishment level.


    Such characters were not something these Qi practitioners could even approach.


    Furthermore, the three disciples under Chen Mobai were extraordinary in terms of appearance and temperament. Luo Yixuan was especially enchanting, which clearly indicated that they were from a powerful and large sect.


    The survival rule widely circulated among the Loose Cultivators states that it¡¯s best to keep a respectful distance when encountering such important figures to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, if I¡¯m not mistaken, our sect¡¯s administrator has a shop in the center of the market.¡±


    Chen Mobai, recalling his previous experience at Yuhu Market, led his two disciples towards the highest three-story building in the Fang Market.


    ¡°Greetings, Town Guard.¡±


    In the Fang Market, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s administrator named Pang Guangmin, a Qi Practitioner at the ninth level, was now a subordinate of Chen Mobai.


    In the coming ten years, all disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the five major markets of the Founding Nation would fall under Chen Mobai¡¯s command.


    ¡°How many of our sect¡¯s disciples are there in the Market?¡±


    ¡°Twenty-seven.¡±


    ¡°What about the properties?¡±


    ¡°Out of Yuhu Market¡¯s thirty-six shops, our sect controls twelve. Four are used by the sect while eight are rented out at a rate of one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones each. In addition to the shops, there are forty-eight Rank-1 cave dwellings and twenty-four Rank-2 cave dwellings atop the Market¡¯s Spirit Vein, all of which belong to the sect and can bring in about eight hundred Spirit Stones a year. Moreover, the Large Formation protecting the Market is maintained by our sect, and the shops in the Market pay us three hundred and sixty Spirit Stones annually as maintenance fees.¡±


    Pang Guangmin is a pragmatic person, completely familiar with the sect¡¯s assets in Yuhu Market.


    ¡°According to this, our sect can earn more than two thousand Spirit Stones from this market annually.¡±


    Chen Mobai mentally calculated and roughly estimated this income.


    ¡°Town Guard, when Guard Liu went back to report at the end of last year, the total income on the report I made was 4,587 Spirit Stones.¡±


    Pang Guangmin said this cautiously, as he didn¡¯t know whether Liu Ruzhong would eventually report this income truthfully to the sect.


    ¡°Wen Bo.¡±


    Chen Mobai called to his senior disciple. Recently, he had been busy with the puppet factory and had tasked Wen Bo with reviewing various sect materials in the Merit Transmission Department, which the Town Guard of Founding Nation could peruse.


    ¡°Master, the numbers are almost correct.¡±


    With outsiders present, Wen Bo spoke in a more tactful manner. Chen Mobai, understanding his meaning, nodded and didn¡¯t say much more.


    Pang Guangmin, however, was sweating coldly.


    ¡°Master, as for the income of the industries in the Market mentioned by Pang here, since it is fixed, there is less likely to be any discrepancy in accounting. However, in shops run by the sect itself, it¡¯s much easier to be creative with the accounts.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, with a teasing gaze, looked towards the continuously sweating Pang Guangmin. Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, she had spent a few years in Yun Country¡¯s Market and had some knowledge about such matters.


    ¡°Town Guard, I have kept records of the accounts for the sixteen years since my arrival. If you want to check them, I can bring them to you.¡±


    Pang Guangmin didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately started to prove his innocence.


    ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. After all, these things happened during Brother Liu¡¯s term. If I were to investigate them, wouldn¡¯t it be unsettling for the previous Town Guards?¡±


    There were not only Liu Ruzhong among the Town Guards of the Founding Nation, and as the Divine Wood Sect was based here, every Town Guard had a profound background. Chen Mobai sure didn¡¯t want to make enemies with these people.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the sect¡¯s shops. By the way, the eight shops would still be unrented if I hadn¡¯t come this year, correct?¡±


    As Chen Mobai walked and asked, Pang Guangmin immediately followed him and quickly replied.

    ¡°Town Guard, the sect¡¯s rules state that if cultivators who rented the shops the previous year wish to continue and their business doesn¡¯t harm the sect¡¯s reputation, they are allowed to renew the lease.¡±


    ¡°Then, could you arrange a shop for me if I want to lease one this year?¡±


    Pang Guangmin¡¯s forehead was covered in more sweat at Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Those who could rent the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shops were no small figures. They were either from cultivation families or from the merchant powers of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°If the Town Guard wants it, I can arrange a shop right away.¡±


    Being faced with his superior¡¯s demand, Pang Guangmin only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

 Chapter 589 - Chapter 589: Chapter 384 Eastern Region Six Territories_1

    Chapter 589: Chapter 384 Eastern Region Six Territories_1


    The cultivators markets in the Eastern Wilderness generally adopt a form of semi-autonomous governance.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect was a breakaway from the Five Elements Sect, all the forces under its jurisdiction in the four countries originally belonged to the Five Elements Sect. However, in order to gain support of the local cultivation families in the four countries, the Divine Wood Sect yielded the management rights of these markets to cultivation families from the start of their separation.


    Thus, in the first few decades after the separation, these cultivation families in the four countries, even those who had not contributed to the Divine Wood Sect, at least remained silent.


    Those who were restless and harbored ulterior motives were either cleansed or fled.


    For instance, the Silver Sky Sect, where Yu Lian used to be, is an example of the expelled ones.


    Once the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff had reconciled with the Five Elements Sect, the cultivation families that had contributed before naturally obtained the management rights of these markets.


    Among them, Yuhu Market came under the jurisdiction of the Fu family.


    The news that Chen Mobai had arrived at the market quickly reached the Fu family.


    An hour later, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, arrived in person.


    ¡°Greetings, Town Guard.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo, a cultured and refined middle-aged man with a neat and dense black beard, appeared quite rustic.


    ¡°Chairman Fu, you¡¯re too polite. We should simply call each other as fellow brothers.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that this man was the nephew of Elder Fu and was formerly a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, the Fu family had suffered heavy losses in the fight with the Five Elements Sect, all three Foundation Establishment cultivators died in battle, so Elder Fu had Fu Xiuzuo leave the sect and return to the family to recover.


    ¡°Brother Chen.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Fu Xiuzuo quickly adjusted his address with a smile.


    The two men greeted each other on the street of the market. The shopkeepers on both sides all recognized Fu Xiuzuo, the head of Fu family. They were taken aback to see him hurry over.


    Knowing that when the former Town Guard Liu Ruzhong first took office, Fu Xiuzuo didn¡¯t show such respect, and it was Liu Ruzhong who had visited the Fu family to greet him instead.


    Who on earth is the new Town Guard of the Divine Wood Sect?


    The cultivators in Yuhu Market who had seen this scene showed varying expressions, beginning to inquire about Chen Mobai¡¯s background.


    After a while, they got the information from the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Unexpected, it¡¯s actually him!¡±


    ¡°The number-one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Guixian!¡±


    ¡°I heard that his combat power is second only to the two elders in the Divine Wood Sect. We thought it was an exaggeration, but it seems like he lives up to his fame.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Divine Wood Sect is really going to rise? It¡¯s rumored that the former sect leader, Meng Hong, is going for Core Formation. With Chen Guixian, Hong He and other young geniuses of Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s a possibility of them taking over the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo naturally heard these rumors, but they just exchanged smiles. At Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s invitation, they went to the Sky Meal Building in Yuhu Market.


    Sky Meal Building is a well-known establishment claiming to cultivate Qi by eating, swallowing all kinds of spiritual delicacies, and refining a pure Qi in one¡¯s body.


    However, the headquarters of the Sky Meal Building is not in the Eastern Wilderness but located in the distant Eastern Earth Region.


    In recent years, Chen Mobai has come to understand the general situation of the location of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Cultivators collectively call this place the Eastern Region.


    The Eastern Region is divided into six territories: Eastern Wilderness, Eastern Yi, Eastern Wu, East Yu, Eastern Earth, and East Li.


    Among these, the Eastern Wilderness is located in a remote place and is considered ¡°poor¡± in cultivation resources.


    The region adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness is the Eastern Yi Territory.


    Actually, the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness had to migrate here because they couldn¡¯t survive in the Eastern Yi Territory.


    There are three major sects in the Eastern Yi Territory: Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Kong Sang Valley, and Sun Bathing Sea.


    All of them are major forces with Nascent Soul Cultivators in charge, their influence radiating throughout the six territories of the Eastern Region, and they are also quite famous in the Eastern Earth Region.


    In the past, when the Founder of Hun Yuan was still there, Five Elements Sect had a good relationship with the Sun Bathing Sea and was considered a major force.


    Moreover, the Eastern Wu Territory is also adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness, as the boundary between the two is the Yunmeng Great Marsh. Once you cross this Thousands of Water Ponds created by Yuanlijen in the marsh, you reach the realm of Eastern Wu.


    The cultivation sects in Eastern Wu Territory are declining, all being dominated by major cultivation families who occupy the veins of spiritual mines. Among them, the most famous is the Huangwu Sun Clan. It has produced Nascent Soul Cultivators and once ruled the cultivation royal family of Eastern Wu.


    However, the Nascent Soul patriarch of this Huangwu Sun Clan was about the same age as the Founder of Hun Yuan. He also passed away twenty years ago, so the Eastern Wilderness and Eastern Wu have been ¡®unsmiling brothers¡¯ these years. Although they both want to monopolize the abundant resources of Yunmeng Great Marsh, they maintain restraint until they have absolute assurance.

    The two regions mutually recognized the seal of the town in the middle of Yunmeng Great Marsh as the boundary, and tacitly refrained from interfering with each other.


    If you go beyond the Eastern Yi Territory, you will reach East Yu Territory, which is an endless mountain range that is said to be infinite. The cultivators there regard each mountain as a star falling from the sky. There is a superpower called the Star Heaven Dao Sect that rules over it. It is said that there are several Nascent Soul elders within the sect.


    Beyond the East Yu Territory is the center of the entire Eastern Region, the Eastern Earth Land.


    Even the two elders of the Divine Wood Sect had never been there. Only Zhou Shengqing had heard the Founder of Hun Yuan talk about it. There are over a hundred sects and families that have produced Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the Sky Meal Building is one of them.


    The Eastern Earth Land is the essence of the entire Eastern Region¡¯s cultivation world, and it is said that there are True Divinity Transforming Monarchs in the four holy lands of the Eastern Earth.

 Chapter 590 - Chapter 590: Chapter 384: The Six Territories of the Eastern Region_2

    Chapter 590: Chapter 384: The Six Territories of the Eastern Region_2


    However, even with the deep roots of the Eastern Earth Region, they find the annual invasion from Eastern Li Region a headache every year.


    Eastern Li is the northernmost place in the entire Eastern Region, and it is where devil cultivators run rampant. The eighteen sects of the Demonic Cultivation, and various other side sects all have inheritance there, mixing fish and dragons, but hidden among them are extremely formidable figures of evil cultivation.


    Three hundred years ago, an evil cultivator who called himself Ming Zun, reached the perfection of demonic cultivation, and single-handedly invaded Eastern Earth Region, traversing thirty thousand miles with a single sword, destroying sects and exterminating countless doors.


    He even stepped onto the Dao Palace, one of the holy lands of Eastern Earth, and forced the emergence of a primordial spirit incarnation left behind by True Monarch Yuan before his ascendance.


    After this battle, Ming Zun disappeared.


    The Dao Palace then announced its closure, and it remains closed to this day.


    This has caused the Eastern Earth¡¯s four great holy lands to lack one, and many new cultivators even think that there are only three major holy lands.


    All these things were originally heard by Zhou Shengqing from Hun Yuan Founder, and he wrote them down and placed them in the Book Pavilion for the foundation establishment cultivators of Divine Wood Sect to read, in order to let his junior disciples know the vastness of the world.


    At the end of the book, Zhou Shengqing wrote about one more thing.


    Founder Hun Yuan once visited the Dao Palace, intending to join as a disciple of True Monarch Yuan, but because his generation was too high to be properly placed, the situation ended up being a little unpleasant.


    Then he followed with the story of the Founder Hun Yuan returning to the Eastern Wilderness to establish the Five Elements Sect.


    The cost of a meal at the Sky Meal Building is quite high. For Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo, four dishes and a soup; Heavenly Fragrant Silver Fish, Spirit Mushroom Chicken Soup, Braised Pork Ribs, Stir-Fried Shrimp Balls, and Spirit Ginger and Scallion Xuan Vegetable, along with a pot of wine, actually cost them sixty spirit stones.


    However, the expensive price is worth it. After Chen Mobai finished eating, he felt as though his vitality had somewhat strengthened. After being cooked using special techniques, the spirit materials were easily absorbed and refined by the body like elixirs. Even the Pure Yang spiritual power within his Dantian Qi Sea subtly fluctuated. After a few Grand Circulations, a small droplet of liquid spiritual power vaguely began to condense.


    ¡°If I could eat at Sky Meal Building¡¯s treasures regularly, there would be no worries about not making progress in my cultivation.¡±


    After feeling the changes in his body, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I thought initially too, but it¡¯s just too expensive. It¡¯s only because you¡¯ve come to the Yuhu Market this time, little junior brother, that I could rightfully invite you and then put this spirit stone expense on the family¡¯s account.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo humorously replied, causing Chen Mobai to laugh awkwardly.


    ¡°Try this, the Yuhu Spring of Sky Meal Building is exceptional. Consuming it can help digest the spiritual energy contained in the delicacies.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo opened another pot of wine and poured some for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This wine is not bad, not worse than the one brewed by Ming¡¯er.¡±


    After taking a sip, Chen Mobai nodded faintly. Since he had already digested it himself, he didn¡¯t feel the purpose of this wine other than its flavor.


    ¡°Fu Huakun told me a long time ago that you, junior brother, are a gallant in wine, this Yuhu Spring is already the best wine in the Sky Meal Building.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo and the inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall, Fu Huakun, are cousins. He had already heard from the latter that Chen Mobai was highly favored by their own Old Ancestor, so he specially came over to treat Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh? Doesn¡¯t Sky Meal Building have Rank-2 spiritual wine?¡±


    Chen Mobai could tell that this Yuhu Spring was only Rank-1. He thought that Sky Meal Building, with its background, shouldn¡¯t only have this.


    ¡°Of course there is Rank-2 Yuhu Spring, but it needs to have been pre-ordered a month in advance, and it can only be shipped from the Sky Meal Building¡¯s main store in the Eastern Yi Territory.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo responded. He was already past the peak of his age, although he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he had no possibility of advancing further, so he spent most of his time indulging in enjoyment. Sky Meal Building was also a place he frequented.


    ¡°What¡¯s the price like?¡±


    ¡°It depends on the grade, the lowest Rank-2 Lower-grade is a hundred spirit stones per pot, I¡¯ve only tasted this kind.¡±


    Hearing Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh that the Eastern Wilderness was really ¡°impoverished¡±, he couldn¡¯t even enjoy his drinks unabashedly.


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan on the other hand, both had gleaming eyes.


    They both knew that last year, Yan Jinye and Zhuo Ming had jointly brewed Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    Although only two jugs were successful, those were large jugs of twenty catties each.


    The pot of alcohol at Sky Meal Building now had a serving size of 10 taels, implying that the two jars of alcohol from last year were worth 6,400 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This year, my junior apprentice has successfully brewed some Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine. After it¡¯s opened, I¡¯ll ask Wen Bo to send two jars to Brother Fu.¡±


    This jar referred to the small jar, which usually weighs one jin.


    On hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo burst into laughter, expressing that the meal was worth it today.


    After the meal, they discussed some market-related issues. When Chen Mobai mentioned wanting to operate a shop, Fu Xiuzuo promised to arrange for the Fu family to rent out the one leased to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Many thanks to Clan Head Fu for his understanding.¡±


    Pang Guangmin, who was on the side, voiced his gratitude upon hearing Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s words.


    The eight shops leased out by the Divine Wood Sect were actually managed by the Fu family, as market administrators. The Divine Wood Sect received a fixed amount of 1,200 Spirit Stones annually, and whatever price the Fu family leased them out for was beyond their concern¨Cundoubtedly, they made much more.


    Liu Ruzhong was Fu Zongjue¡¯s recognised disciple and Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s junior fellow apprentice, hence, this benefit naturally did not fall into the hands of outsiders.


    Originally, if Fu Xiuzuo had not spoken up, Pang Guangmin would have needed to personally visit the Fu family to negotiate this matter.


    If the Fu family had acted tough, Pang Guangmin wedged in the middle, would have certainly been in a gloomy situation.


    However, it seemed Pang Guangmin had underestimated the influence of Chen Mobai¡¯s name. They hadn¡¯t even gone to the Fu family yet but Fu Xiuzuo had personally come over with a very friendly attitude.


    With Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s assistance, matters regarding the shop were easily settled.


    Of the eight shops of the Divine Wood Sect, the Fu family personally operated two. As soon as Fu Xiuzuo spoke up, they immediately began to clear up the goods in the shop with the best location. By evening, it had been cleared and tidied up.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do you plan to turn this into a liquor store?¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo and Chen Mobai came to this shop in the centre of Yuhu Market after their drink; the shop was small but it lay close to the four shops that the Divine Wood Sect operated personally, indicating a clear history.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sell some general goods and earn some resources for cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said modestly before pointing, the original shop name on the signboard above the door had been erased and ¡°Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Shop¡± was subsequently etched onto it.


    Fu Xiuzuo nodded, his cousin Fu Huakun had told him that this junior brother¡¯s shop in Divine Wood City had the same name and mainly sold Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine of reasonable quality.


    The market for Spirit Rice was relatively stable whereas business for Spiritual Wine was average or rather lacked market, as most Loose Cultivators would only spend their Spirit Stones on increasing their Cultivation Level.


    Loose Cultivators wouldn¡¯t even take a glance at places like Sky Meal Building.


    Given the Spirit Stone, they would rather buy a few pills.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Yuhu Market for three days during which Fu Xiuzuo accompanied him throughout, growing their friendship.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai treated Fu Xiuzuo to a meal at Sky Meal Building in return.


    However, this time they drank the wine that they brought themselves.


    The flavor was entirely different from that of Jade Pot Spring, but it had its unique charm which left Fu Xiuzuo greatly satisfied.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, a meetup for Foundation Establishment cultivators will be held in Tiankui Market in half a month. I¡¯ll also be there then, so after you¡¯ve finished your inspection tour in Green Phoenix Market, you can come over with Old Ghost Liang.¡±

    Following Yuhu Market was Green Phoenix Market. Although it belonged to the Cultivator Liang family there was also another family that Chen Mobai was very wary of ¨C the Guo family.


    This was the family of Madam Guo, who had been killed by Immortal Feiming at Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, after Chen Mobai had killed Immortal Feiming, he suddenly discovered that Madam Guo¡¯s body had disappeared.


    He had mentioned this matter to the then Sect Leader Meng Hong to prevent unexpected incidents when the sect was mining Void Stones. Sect Leader Zhou Shengqing had personally made a trip to Lonely Spirit Ridge, confirmed that there were no problems, and even set up a Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    He might as well take this patrol opportunity to have some exchanges with the Guo family.

 Chapter 591 - Chapter 591: Chapter 385: Sales Meeting_1

    Chapter 591: Chapter 385: Sales Meeting_1


    The Green Phoenix Market is known for its spirit beast trading and is owned by the Liang family.


    This family is most famous for rearing a spirit beast called the Qinghong Bird.


    This spirit beast can carry people into flight at Rank-1, and can even transport objects as it matures.


    In the Tianhe Realm, many loose cultivators dream of possessing a Qinghong Bird because it gives them the ability to fly in the sky as they perform Qi cultivation.


    The Liang family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Divine Wood Sect, one is the Minister of the Spirit Beast Department, Liang Yanyou, and the other is Liang Lingzhen.


    Among them, Chen Mobai has a decent relationship with Liang Lingzhen; they are both Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall and were one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed Chu Zuoshu to battle at Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Liang Lingzhen also participated when the Azure Light Formation was being practised.


    The current patriarch of the Liang family is named Liang Jinggui. He ranks very high in seniority, having lived for two hundred years, making him the oldest Foundation Establishment cultivator within the Jian Country. He is therefore, also known as Old Ghost Liang.


    Chen Mobai naturally treats him with extreme respect, and after Liang Jinggui politely dismissed the formalities, he graciously accepted.


    ¡°Nephew Chen is indeed a young talent, as Lingzhen has previously mentioned. Today upon meeting you, it is clear that this is not an exaggeration.¡±


    Liang Jinggui, with his white hair, spoke with a full and robust voice. He motioned, and immediately, a graceful female cultivator brought forth a spirit beast bag to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°For our first meeting, this is the Qinghong Bird from our recent Liang family¡¯s hatching batch that has the strongest bloodline fluctuation. Consider this as a meeting gift for you, nephew.¡±


    Chen Mobai politely thanked him, and without further delay accepted the gift.


    As the spirit beast bag could not be placed in the storage bag, Chen Mobai found it inappropriate to hang it around his waist at the venue, so he handed it over to Luo Yixuan who was next to him, asking her to learn from the Liang family¡¯s junior female cultivator on how to handle the Qinghong Bird.


    Chen Mobai then discussed with Liang Jinggui about renting a shop in the Green Phoenix Market, accompanied by Liu Wenbo.


    The name of the Divine Wood Sect is indeed very influential within the Jian Country. Chen Mobai, as the Town Guard in the upcoming ten years, is respected even by the Fu Family who directly serves the Ancestor, not to mention the Liang family.


    ¡°Nephew, over at Tiankui Market, there is a sales event hosted by a Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there, and Wang Gongdao has invited me and others to exchange some resources like elixirs and spiritual objects. Would you like to join?¡±


    After making rounds around the shops belonging to the Divine Wood Sect in the Green Phoenix Market and checking on the attendant disciples, Liang Jinggui proposed an idea of accompanying Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed, but he also mentioned that he needs to make a visit to the Guo family before setting off.


    Guo family? Ever since Madam Guo mysteriously disappeared, their situation has only been deteriorating. If it wasn¡¯t for Guo Boyear in Five Elements Sect, they might have already been wiped out by the breakers and loose cultivators.¡±


    Liang Jinggui pays a lot of attention to the neighbours of his own family.


    Chen Mobai knew that when the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was discovered, the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect had already considered exterminating the Guo family. If it was not for Meng Hong¡¯s concern over the repercussions, the Guo family would have been wiped out long ago.


    ¡°Do you know the history of the Guo family?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Liang Jinggui, who was next to him.


    ¡°When we were still part of the Five Elements Sect years ago, Madam Guo became a Dao companion with the Guard of the Founding Nation. This guard of the Founding Nation was named Ying Chang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Vein.¡±


    ¡°When we split off from the Five Elements Sect and took over this area of Jian Country, Ying Chang surprisingly did not leave. Instead, he joined the Wood Vein for the sake of his wife and children.¡±


    ¡°Later, Ying Chang represented the Divine Wood Sect on the battlefield and ran into his fellow cultivator from the Earth Vein. His rival casted a spell that was mutually destructive, killing Ying Chang. Despite dying for the Divine Wood Sect, the Guo family still owns ten shops here in the Green Phoenix Market.¡±


    Liang Jinggui has a thorough understanding of the Guo family.


    Out of the ten shops, the Guo family now only owns six, and even these six are under negotiation for transfer.


    The ones who want to take over are the Liang family.


    ¡°The most valuable property of the Guo family is a jade mine that occasionally reveals some accompanying spirit stones. I recently teamed up with several other major forces in the Green Phoenix Market, to see if we can jointly take over this jade mine.¡±


    After hearing Liang Jinggui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai could not help but feel surprised.


    ¡°Oh, has the Guo family fallen into such poverty that they are considering selling their ancestral property?¡±


    Chen Mobai has certainly heard about the Guo family¡¯s jade mine. The Gold Jade Ax that he holds was made from materials derived from this mine.


    Every year this mine produces some valuable Rank-3 gold jade materials. Its potential could easily last for several decades and has a value of at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding it, the Guo family cannot hold onto such a large fortune. However, this is also Guo Boyear¡¯s idea. By selling all of their properties in Jian Country to obtain a huge amount of spirit stones, the Guo family plans to move to the domain of the Five Elements Sect. It is not necessarily a downgrade.¡±


    After hearing Liang Jinggui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed realisation.


    But according to his conjecture, the Divine Wood Sect probably had a hand in accelerating this situation from behind.


    Since they could not wipe out the Guo family publicly, they might use the fact that there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the place to drive out forces like the Liang family from Jian Country, then find ways to eliminate them. This is highly possible.


    Simply by observing how Liang Jinggui candidly talks about annexing the Guo family¡¯s properties in front of Chen Mobai, it¡¯s clear that he must have received some internal signal from the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: 385

    Chapter 592: 385


    Chen Mobai simply invited Liang Jinggui to accompany him to the Guo family.


    Caught off guard by his arrival, the Guo family was somewhat flustered. It took them a long time before three of the elders with Qi Cultivation on the ninth level came out; their faces filled with respect, welcoming the two.


    ¡°The stability of the Jian Country¡¯s world of Immortal Cultivation cannot be without any of the seven great families. I heard that the Guo family has been facing difficulties recently, so I came over specifically to see if I could help.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke impeccably. The Guo family elder¡¯s face was filled with gratitude as he began sharing the problems that have been plaguing their family recently.


    ¡°Hong Chang from the Loose Repair Alliance and the powerful Dou Ye Wang have challenged our family formation multiple times.¡±


    ¡°One accuses our Guo family of setting our jade prices too high, not leaving any profit for lone cultivators; the other claims that one of his disciples went missing in the vicinity and insists that our Guo family, with our eyes on his wealth, murdered his disciple and demands us to break our formation to allow him to investigate.¡±


    ¡°Heaven knows, aren¡¯t they clearly trying to take over our Guo family¡¯s mines and Spiritual Land now that our family Head has disappeared!¡±


    As the Guo family elder spoke, he could not help but shed tears. When had their Guo family ever had to suffer such humiliations in the past?


    ¡°What are the backgrounds of this Hong Xu and Dou Ye Wang?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know anything about these two people and thus asked Liang Jinggui who was beside him.


    ¡°The Loose Repair Alliance is an organization that originated from the East Land. Its purpose is to provide a sanctuary for lone cultivators in a world dominated by large sects, to prevent all Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine from being monopolized by the powerful forces and freely priced. Although not influential within the Eastern Wilderness, The alliance has attracted a considerable number of cultivators, and this Hong Xu is one of the leaders among the lone cultivators in Jian Country, with a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation level.¡±


    ¡°Dou Ye Wang is a rogue cultivator who got lucky and obtained a Foundation Building Pill after killing a disciple who was cultivating Qi. Even though he did tone down a bit after Foundation Establishment, he has still gathered a group of rogue cultivators under his command and often raids small sects and forces that lack a Foundation Establishment cultivator.¡±


    After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, Chen Mobai slapped his thigh fiercely.


    ¡°Rogue cultivators are a menace! If this Dou Ye Wang continues to make unwarranted trouble, simply let him come and find me at the Divine Wood Sect. As for Hong Xu, I feel that he has already strayed from the initial intention of the Loose Repair Alliance and needs to correct his thoughts. I¡¯ll have a serious talk with him when I meet him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words deeply touched the Guo family elder. When they were saying goodbye, the elder tried to hand Chen Mobai a storage bag.


    ¡°Alas, no reward without effort; after I have dealt with Hong Xu and Dou Ye Wang, if Elder Guo wants to show his gratitude, I will gladly accept.¡±


    Under the incredulous gaze of Liang Jinggui, Chen Mobai declined the Spirit Stones offered by the Guo family, and left together with Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Dear nephew, the Guo family has sold a lot of properties recently, and has accumulated quite a few Spirit Stones. What they tried to give to you could very well be a great gift.¡±


    On the way back, Liang Jinggui reminded Chen Mobai, in case he missed out on such a sizeable extra income.


    ¡°Chief Liang, don¡¯t worry. Though I am of upright character, if I accepted the Guo family¡¯s Spirit Stones, then I must solve this issue for them; otherwise, I¡¯d feel guilty. And the Guo family¡­ They don¡¯t yet have the ability to be a concern.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai was not a cultivator of the Heart Stream, he also valued integrity.


    Since childhood, his grandfather taught him that receiving gifts and accomplishing the task was the most significant deal of trust. If you receive gifts but fail to get the job done, you must return the presents; otherwise, this issue will become your loophole in advancing further in the future, and it could even be the last gift you ever receive.


    Upon hearing this, Liang Jinggui was pensive, and his evaluation of Chen Mobai went up a notch.


    The next day, their group set off for the Tiankui Market.


    Seven members of the Liang family went, seemingly purchasing items from Tiankui Market.


    Chen Mobai and his two disciples accompanied Liang Jinggui, sitting atop a massive rank-2 Qinghong Bird¨Cthere was even a pavilion where they chatted and enjoyed tea amidst the clouds¨Cit did indeed feel like they were Immortals.


    ¡°I heard that, at the Star Heaven Grand Trade Fair this time around, there is a Soft Bone Pill recipe. If one can get their hands on it, even the low-rank Spirit Beasts can be made to speak.¡±


    The Star Heaven Grand Trade Fair is a major sect within the East Yu Territory¨Cthe Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s trade fair. It has long been dealing with the six territories of the Eastern Region, profiting a massive amount of Spirit Stones.


    As for the Trade Fair, it is a unique kind of anonymous auction in the Tianhe Realm.


    That is, the Trade Fair lists out the available resources such as Spirit Pills and Magic Artifacts. After paying the entrance fee in Spirit Stones, all cultivators can visit and participate.


    If you see anything you like, you can contact the representative of the chamber of commerce, and quote your price.


    When the sale ends, the chamber of commerce will compare the prices everyone has offered, and then privately inform the cultivator who offered the highest price, asking them to come and pay the Spirit Stones in exchange for their merchandise.


    The advantage of this method is that some cultivators, in order to ensure they get the spiritual objects they need, will quote a high price. Moreover, the chamber of commerce guarantees its credibility and will not reveal who purchased the goods.


    At least, within the Eastern Wilderness, there is no sect that can subdue the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    Most cultivators are very receptive to these types of sales.


    After all, there are too many rogue cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness; with guaranteed confidentiality, safety has significantly increased.


    The Soft Bone Pill that Liang Jinggui needs is a pill formula passed down from East Li, mainly used to refine the vocal cords of demonic beasts, enabling them to speak at Rank-1 or Rank-2.


    However, this pill formula is truthfully a top-end Rank-2 formula and is quite expensive. Moreover, it is probably highly sought after.


    That¡¯s why Liang Jinggui decided to handle it personally; he wanted to see if there were any competing beast tamers on site, and if they might be able to collaborate rather than compete, copying each other¡¯s formulas after securing the item.


    Of course, if the price is too low, the chamber of commerce reserves the right not to sell.


    ¡°In this sale, cultivators can also submit their own items to the chamber of commerce for appraisal. The chamber of commerce will then offer a price. If a purchase agreement is reached, they will take the spiritual objects collected from the Eastern Wilderness to sell at the next sale in East Wu or the Eastern Yi Territory. It¡¯s a guaranteed profit.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very interested in this sale, so Liang Jinggui explained a bit more.


    The speed of this Qinghong Bird surpasses Chen Mobai¡¯s imagination. They only took two days to reach Tiankui Market.


    Unexpectedly, aside from them, there were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived at the same time.


    ¡°The Tang siblings.¡±


    Liang Jinggui also seems to recognize these two. The man had a gloomy look with a black scarf around his head, and the woman was alluring and flirtatious.


    Seeing the huge Qinghong Bird in the sky, the Tang siblings knew who had arrived. They didn¡¯t greet them, but went straight into Tiankui Market after landing.


    ¡°Are these two loose cultivators?¡±


    Chen Mobai used his Void Spirit Eye and immediately noticed their impressive cultivation level. They were both at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, prompting him to inquire curiously.


    ¡°They¡¯re rogue cultivators from the Snow Country, often coming to our Jian Country markets to sell stolen goods. Seems like they¡¯re using channels from the Loose Repair Alliance.¡±


    After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, he signaled for the Qinghong Bird to land. Someone from the Liang family was already waiting at the entrance of the marketplace. They put the Qinghong Bird into the Spirit Beast Bag and then entered together.


    ¡°First, take us to the sale.¡±


    Although Liang Jinggui is elderly, he still acts swiftly and decisively.


    ¡°Yes, Grand Elder.¡±


    The person in charge of the Liang family in Tiankui Market immediately led them to their destination.

    Star Fallen Square!


    Upon seeing the three words on a stone stele at the entrance to the central street of the Tiankui Market, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod approvingly.


    ¡°For this sale, the Wang family¡¯s Grand Elder has rented out ten central street shops in the market to the Star Heaven Chamber of Commerce. The exhibited spiritual objects in each shop vary in nature.¡±


    Listening to the introduction of the Steward of the Liang family, Chen Mobai entered the Star Fallen Square Street with his two curious disciples.


    Each shop had a hanging plaque at the entrance, each inscribed with one of the following: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Strange, Pill, Beast, Formation, Oddity.

 Chapter 593 - Chapter 593: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand _1

    Chapter 593: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand _1


    After entering Star Fallen Square, Chen Mobai separated from Liang Jinggui.


    ¡°You two feel free to look around, and we can meet up later at the entrance,¡± he said to his two disciples. Even among master-disciple relationships in the Tianhe Realm, cultivators would instinctively maintain some distance.


    So, when he said this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan nodded and separately headed towards stores that matched their spirit root attributes.


    Chen Mobai assessed the ten shops standing in the middle of the street. The gathering was a small-scale one, primarily aimed at cultivators in the Qi Cultivating Realm. Thus, they mostly dealt with Rank-1 spiritual objects. Still, some Rank-2 items were also present to attract more substantial attention.


    Chen Mobai was confident about the resources from the Tianhe Realm. After all, if they had been selected by the Star Heaven Commerce Guild and put on display, they must be top-notch spiritual objects.


    He first stepped into a store marked by the color gold, where he saw translucent boxes flying mid-air, each holding golden spiritual objects radiating bright light.


    No physical contact was needed to perceive their qualities by cultivators¡¯ standards.


    In the store¡¯s center, two cultivators wearing the Star Heaven Commerce Guild attire greeted the crowd with smiles, surrounded by a group of cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness asking various questions.


    When a cultivator wished to make a price offer, a member of the Star Heaven Commerce Guild would retrieve the floating box and guide the cultivator to a specially reserved area for more detailed discussions.


    Pure Gold, Pure Iron, Lung Gold Qi, Five-Element Metal Stones, Thousand Pound Blade, Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, Gold Body Puppet Technique¡­


    Chen Mobai glanced at every floating box and quickly processed the corresponding information displayed in his mind, seemingly a result of a potent binding spell.


    However, the displayed information related to cultivation techniques only provided general descriptions and the highest attainable realm through cultivation.


    The most interesting object for Chen Mobai was the ¡°Lung Gold Qi.¡±


    It was sublime spiritual energy condensed by cultivators specializing in metal attribute cultivation techniques. According to the linguistics in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was one of the Five Elements Essence Qi.


    Surprisingly, something similar could also be found in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, the Lung Gold Qi was commonly used to condense sword Qi and was especially suitable for cultivating the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.


    A cultivator would need to commit many years to initiate Lung Gold Qi synthesis through the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.


    Therefore, the Star Heaven Commerce Guild specifically paired the Lung Gold Qi with the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique. If someone wished to purchase the item, they would have to bid on both items simultaneously.


    Chen Mobai had a keen interest in Lung Gold Qi and thus signaled the cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild.


    ¡°Esteemed senior, please follow me.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide his Foundation Establishment cultivator aura. He was already under special observation as soon as he entered the shop. Seeing his signal, a cultivator immediately brought down three floating boxes and invited him to a private booth for discussions.


    ¡°I am a bit interested in this Lung Gold Qi, so I will give a casual quotation,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    In the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators would usually synthesize this item themselves. Since Chen Mobai had stumbled upon it here, he conveniently set his bid at 100 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Senior, this Thousand Pound Blade is also suitable for the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique; would you like to consider it as well?¡±


    The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild opened up the three transparent boxes, displaying the Lung Gold Qi, the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, and the Thousand Pound Blade, hoping for Chen Mobai¡¯s approval.


    However, Chen Mobai declined straight away. The metal attribute technique was not very useful to him, and the Thousand Pound Blade was merely a Rank-1 premium-grade magic artifact. He had a better option in the form of the Gold Jade Ax.


    Besides Lung Gold Qi, Chen Mobai was also interested in a portion of Golden Light Sha and three taels of Geng Metal.


    Both were Rank-2 spiritual objects. Even if they weren¡¯t immediately useful, there was a chance they might come in handy in the future.


    Chen Mobai considered for a moment and then bid 600 and 900 Spirit Stones, respectively.


    Leaving the gold-colored store, Chen Mobai remembered that his younger cousin had recently been accepted into the Primordial Elemental Academy. He had yet to give her a gift. Given her remarkable Metal Spirit Root, he returned to the store and selected a vibrant Five-Element Metal Stone, bidding a price of 30 Spirit Stones.


    The Five-Element Metal Stone was a material condensed from five different types of metals. It could be shaped into any form an artifact embryo required according to a cultivator¡¯s divine sense. It was typically used for key parts of large-scale magical instruments.


    It was somewhat alike the Ruyi Iron in the Immortal Cultivation world. However, the Five-Element Metal Stone could only be used for Rank-1 magic artifacts. Most of the time, it was simply sufficient for a lower-grade Rank-1, leading to a small number of buyers.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s bid of 30 Spirit Stones was quite high and basically guaranteed the purchase.


    Next, he visited a shop marked by the color ¡®wood.¡¯ The shop had so many previously unheard-of tree seeds, grain seeds, flowers, and plants that Chen Mobai, who loved farming, couldn¡¯t resist the temptation.


    He chose seeds and saplings suitable for the climate and geomagnetic lines of Giant Tree Ridge and listed the prices for all of them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The most precious items of this shop were a Rank-2 Green Lotus Seed and a piece of Rank-2 Pure Bamboo.


    It was said that the Green Lotus Seed came from a Rank-3 lotus in East Yu Realm, and it had the potential to be nurtured into a Rank-3 artifact.


    Meanwhile, the Pure Bamboo was a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley. Reportedly, it could potentially exhibit a Rank-4 cultivation once it fully grows. It could refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Qi, which helps open the Purple Palace, boosts divine sense, and soothes the mind and spirit. Moreover, the bamboo section provided still had roots and thus could be re-cultivated to life.


    Chen Mobai casually filled out a price of 300 Spirit Stones for both items.


    After exploring the ¡®water¡¯ and ¡®earth¡¯ themed shops, Chen Mobai found Void Stones and a Rank-3 Mountain Suppression Stone in the ¡®earth¡¯ shop.

 Chapter 594 - Chapter 594: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_2

    Chapter 594: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_2


    This Mountain Suppression Stone is essential for setting up a formation that connects to the earth veins, and its value for a Rank-3 is over one hundred thousand spirit stones.


    After appreciating various rare and exotic stones, Chen Mobai focused his attention on the Fire Character Shop.


    There were many good things here.


    However, what moved him the most was an intact Fire in Stone, equivalent to refined and sublimated Green-sun Fire, worth fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones.


    After asking the people from the Star Heaven Commercial Union, he learned that this was drawn from authentic fire by their sect¡¯s Gold Core elder, because the East Yu region was dominated by mountains and they could easily find spiritual mountains to refine the Fire in Stone.


    Chen Mobai looked at his own savings and, due to his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body and other expenses over the years, he was left with only slightly over three thousand spirit stones.


    However, he still had a raw spirit stone from the Lonely Spirit Ridge, equivalent to some thirty to forty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. But this wasn¡¯t easy to deal with since all forces were extremely sensitive to spirit stone mines wherever they are.


    With a sigh, Chen Mobai symbolically bid 5000 spirit stones for this Fire in Stone. After that, he lost interest in the other True Fires and turned to leave.


    The Differently Characterized Shop was for spiritual objects corresponding to wind, thunder, ice, and other different spiritual roots. Since cultivators with different spiritual roots were rare, they were merged together.


    Chen Mobai had a friend with an Ice Spirit Root, so he went in and wandered around, originally intending to buy a Cold Jade Snow Lotus that had been frozen after blooming as a spiritual object.


    However, after some careful thought, if he gave Yan Bingxuan a gift and didn¡¯t give one to Qing Nu, it would be somewhat inappropriate. And if he gave a gift to Qing Nu, not giving one to other closely acquainted women would definitely not be acceptable.


    In the end, he decided not to give anyone a gift.


    Equal treatment for all.


    After his thoughts were clear, Chen Mobai nodded and left the Differently Characterized Shop.


    The Pill Character Shop was crowded with people, and there were cultivators bidding on each bottle of elixir. As for the few rare elixir recipes, there was no need to mention them.


    Chen Mobai glanced inside from the entrance and saw Liang Jinggui. He was having a heated argument with someone, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    After watching for a while, he felt it was boring and went straight to the Beast Character Shop. There weren¡¯t many people here, after all, Beast Tamers were not mainstream in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai noticed that the beast guarding the shop was a Black Tortoise. It had just hatched but this Black Tortoise was one of the few spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm that could live for over ten thousand years.


    It was also known as the Millennium Tortoise.


    Affluent Immortal Cultivation families and sects would all keep a Black Tortoise because once this spirit beast grows up, due to its lazy nature, it generally does not wish to change its dwelling place. Even if the tamer died, it would still be willing to protect his descendants.


    Moreover, the first Ascended Monk, Mother of Water, in the recorded history of the Tianhe Realm, had a Black Tortoise spirit beast. It was with the help of this spirit beast¡¯s water control abilities that she was able to finally regulate the three-element water vein of heaven and earth and establish the Tianhe Dao Dynasty.


    So, this Black Tortoise cub was in high demand, and Chen Mobai even ran into Fu Xiuzuo here.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, are you interested in this Black Tortoise too?¡±


    ¡°Not at all, I¡¯m just browsing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew nothing about Beast Taming. The only Sky Snake he had contracted was kept for rearing.


    Moreover, this Black Tortoise grew extremely slowly. If it reached Rank-3, it would take at least a thousand years. In a place like the Eastern Wilderness where conflicts were intense, there was simply no time for it to grow.


    ¡°I¡¯ve bid two thousand spirit stones. If I can buy it, it¡¯s worth it.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo didn¡¯t hide anything from Chen Mobai either. The two chatted in the shop for a while before saying their goodbyes.


    Chen Mobai then went to the Formation Character Shop, but he only had a cursory understanding of formations, so he left after just a quick look.


    Finally, he came to the Strange Character Shop.


    This was where the Star Day Commercial Union appraised their purchases; there were many cultivators lining up.


    Some Loose Cultivators even looked nervous, as if the items they had were extremely valuable.


    Aside from appraisal, there were also some treasures that even the Star Day Commercial Union couldn¡¯t identify on display, and people could bid on these items.


    Of course, if someone could help with the appraisal, the Star Day Commercial Union was willing to give an appraisal fee.


    This feeling of being able to pick up bargains in the hands of the Star Day Commercial Union excited many cultivators.


    However, many Loose Cultivators who spent spirit stones to buy unidentified treasures ended up with useless items. So over time, although there were many people appraising treasures, those who managed to pick up bargains were very few.


    Chen Mobai walked in and casually strolled around. Halfway through, he was standing still, staring at something that looked like a lamp holder in a transparent box.


    This thing seems to be a set with that five-colored Lotus Lamp.


    In the past, Chen Mobai had obtained a mysterious five-colored Lotus Lamp after killing the Daoist Feimeng in the Lonely Spirit Ridge. After his appraisal over the years, he found that it should be an incomplete Rank-3 magic artifact.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It lacked a lamp holder and the method to light the lamp wick.


    If this lamp holder truly matches the five-colored Lotus Lamp, then Chen Mobai will have his second Rank-3 magic artifact.


    Without showing any emotion, he requested a cultivator of the Star Heaven Commercial Union and made a bid of 100 spirit stones for four treasure objects filled with spiritual energy, including the lamp holder.


    ¡°Senior, do you know the origin of these four items? If you are willing to tell, we are willing to pay a fee of 50 spirit stones for each piece.¡±


    The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commercial Union asked routinely, which was met with a shake of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.

 Chapter 595 - Chapter 595: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_3

    Chapter 595: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_3


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, I just felt that these four items were rich in spiritual energy, so they should be good items.¡±


    Even the treasure appraisers of the Star Heaven corporation, who were rich in spiritual energy, could see this, hence their decision to purchase. So, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t reveal anything with his remarks.


    Walking out of Star Fallen Square, Chen Mobai saw Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan waiting at the entrance of the street.


    ¡°Did you find anything that you liked?¡±


    Chen Mobai casually asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s a nice green cow that I plan to buy for Sister Zhuo.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, a scion of a well-off family, lacked neither magic artifacts nor cultivation techniques. Moreover, he was very obedient to Chen Mobai¡¯s words and had recently stopped using medicinal pills to enhance his cultivation level. Therefore, he didn¡¯t need Rank-1 items from Star Fallen Square, and he couldn¡¯t afford Rank-2 items. So he decided to buy a green cow from the Beast Character Shop for Zhuo Ming, who guarded the family home.


    ¡°Very good, Wenbo, you are increasingly assuming the demeanor of a big brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to shower him with praise.


    ¡°Master, I also bought some seeds of spiritual rice grain for Sister Zhuo and several big bags of spirit soil from other realms.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately mentioned that she also bought items for Zhuo Ming. She knew that as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai would not need the spiritual objects she bought. So she decided to curry favour with him by showing love and affection for his disciples.


    However, she didn¡¯t expect that the usually quiet Liu Wenbo would have the same idea.


    For a moment, she felt like she hadn¡¯t been paying enough attention to this big brother.


    However, she didn¡¯t know that after Liu Wenbo saw the green cow, he naturally felt that it was perfect for Zhuo Ming and simply quoted a price on a whim.


    Chen Mobai felt ¡°old¡± and satisfied, believing that his disciples were all like a loving family. He couldn¡¯t help but continually praise his two disciples.


    ¡°Xuan, you should keep the Qinghong Bird that Chief Liang gave you. I have no use for it.¡±


    ¡°It should be given to Big Brother. He will replace you, Master, in traveling outside in the future. He needs this flying spirit beast more than I do.¡±


    However, Luo Yixuan very wisely declined, which left Chen Mobai at a loss for words praising her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will buy another one for your big brother from Chief Liang later.¡±


    Only after Chen Mobai said this did Luo Yixuan accept the proposal with a look of delight.


    After leaving Star Fallen Square, the three master-disciple pairs made their way to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s dwelling place in Tiankui Market. The disciple in charge was named Fu Xingzhong and he was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Halfway through their discussion, Wang Gongdao, the head of Tiankui Market¡¯s Wang family, arrived.


    ¡°Town Guard, sorry for not meeting you earlier.¡±


    Wang Gongdao, a cultivator with a full face of beard, had been briefed by Yue Zutao. Both of them were actually from the same faction within the Divine Wood Sect. After a couple of exchanges, they began to address each other as brothers.


    ¡°Brother Chen, are you looking to rent a shop? That¡¯s easy. Once the auction in Star Fallen Square is over, those ten shops will all belong to my Wang family. You can choose whichever one you like. As for the rent, you can just pay a symbolic one spirit stone per year.¡±


    Wang was generous with his own people, and the Divine Wood Sect still had two shops unrented in Tiankui Market. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to take advantage of them and leave trouble behind, so he tactfully declined Wang Gongdao¡¯s kindness.


    ¡°Brother Chen, as expected of a sword cultivator, you are upright in character.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this, Wang Gongdao just laughed heartily and then invited Chen Mobai to join the Foundation Establishment exchange meeting he was hosting.


    ¡°Most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Jian Country have come, they all have a good assortment of items with them. For example, Yuan Hongyuan brought many Rank-3 Immortal Peach fruits that many people are coveting.¡±


    Upon hearing the name Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    This was the rare power cultivator, whose strength E Yun had not stopped praising.


    I have long admired you, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you today!

 Chapter 596 - Chapter 596: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_1

    Chapter 596: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_1


    Chen Mobai followed Wang Gongdao to a seemingly inconspicuous shop in the Tiankui Market.


    Inside, there were already a good number of Foundation Establishment cultivators either sitting or standing, among them Chen Mobai recognized a man with a refined appearance, Fu Xiuzuo.


    Soon after, the white-haired and elderly Liang Jinggui entered the shop, and the three men naturally formed a small group.


    ¡°That¡¯s Yuan Hongyuan.¡±


    Liang Jinggui pointed to a middle-aged cultivator in a black robe who was in the corner, introducing him to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Such a grand demeanor, he truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful foundation establishment expert.¡±


    With preconceived impressions in mind, Chen Mobai had extremely high praises for Yuan Hongyuan.


    Due to the presence of the Divine Wood Sect in Jian Country, there were fewer conflicts within the country, therefore neither Fu Xiuzuo nor Liang Jinggui had tested Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s abilities. They believed he was a formidable character based on usual rumors.


    ¡°Hong Xu has arrived.¡±


    After a while, a square-faced cultivator with large ears entered the shop, and Liang Jinggui identified him as the leader of the Loose Repair Alliance in Jian Country.


    Apart from Hong Xu, the Tang siblings whom they had encountered at the entrance of the Tiankui Market also entered.


    A while later, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman from Star Heaven Merchant Association, arrived, and Wang Gongdao immediately went up to greet them.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, as the host, I¡¯m fortunate to gather everyone here with the help of this sale. Without further ado, let¡¯s begin.¡±


    When Wang Gongdao saw that almost everyone he had invited had arrived, he no longer wasted everyone¡¯s time and took out a golden fruit.


    ¡°This King Kong Fruit just ripened in my Wang family¡¯s medicinal field. It is a Rank-3 treasure for cultivators who practice Body Forging. If any of you are interested, you can whisper your bids to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai cast a glance around and saw that three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed quite interested and they went up to examine the Rank-3 King Kong Fruit in Wang Gongdao¡¯s hand.


    Eventually, the male Foundation Establishment cultivator from Star Heaven Merchant Association offered a price that satisfied Wang Gongdao the most. The two of them then went to the back hall to complete the transaction.


    ¡°We have some Rank-2 Mountain Suppression Stones and Rank-2 Fire in Stone Seeds. Those interested can speak to us in detail.¡±


    After buying the King Kong Fruit, the cultivator from Star Heaven Merchant Association also brought out his spiritual objects. Mountain Suppression Stones are generally indispensable in the setup of large formations. In large formations, it can make the connection between the formation and the Spiritual Energy of the earth tighter, unleashing its true power.


    A few Loose Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed quite interested in the Mountain Suppression Stones. They had plans to turn their bloodline into cultivator families, so the formations of spiritual lands were key.


    A formation with a Mountain Suppression Stone possessing it is a primary condition for a long-lasting heritage.


    However, the price of this Mountain Suppression Stone was just too astronomical, these Loose Cultivators individually couldn¡¯t afford it, and after discussing with the representative from the Star Heaven Merchant Association, they all were tactfully declined.


    ¡°May I ask fellow Daoist, what is the price for the Fire in Stone Seed?¡±


    Chen Mobai approached and asked, the man from Star Heaven Merchant Association whispered back that it was ten thousand Spirit Stones, or an equal grade True Fire Seed in exchange.


    This was a similar price to Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Chen Mobai nodded his agreement, as this condition was quite suitable for him.


    Although he didn¡¯t have ten thousand Spirit Stones, he did have refined Qingyang Fire.


    Upgrading the Qingyang Fire Seed to a complete Qingyang Fire took him a lot of time and resources, but downgrading the Qingyang Fire back to its seed form was relatively easy.


    For other cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, however, this process would typically take more than a year.


    But under the aid of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai had already grasped the essence of the Pure Yang Ignition Technique, enabling him to ignite the Qingyang Fire from nothing.


    Using the remaining Qingyang Fire after condensing Sword Demons as raw material, he was confident he could ignite a fire seed within a few days.


    ¡°I have a Qingyang Fire Seed in the sect, but it will take a few days to retrieve it. I wonder if Daoist friend can wait for a while.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man from Star Heaven Merchant Association couldn¡¯t help but light up his eyes and asked Wang Gongdao about Chen Mobai¡¯s identity.


    ¡°So it is Daoist Chen from Divine Wood Sect. I¡¯m Lou Xuelong. Your sect¡¯s Qingyang Fire is a famous spiritual object even in the neighboring territories. I¡¯ll reserve this Fire in Stone Seed for you.¡±


    Lou Xuelong, whether out of courtesy or because he really heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, smilingly beckoned to the other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the guest hall, signaling that the Fire in Stone Seed was off the market.


    After leaving each other¡¯s Message Talisman, it was the turn of the third Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°I accidentally obtained a fragment of an Elixir Scripture. It contains two complete formulae that can refine two types of pills, respectively, to increase the cultivation levels at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As soon as Hong Xu of the Loose Repair Alliance spoke, he caught the attention of all Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall.


    In the Tianhe Realm, pill formulas are hard currency.


    Some cultivator families rely on a few pill formulas and refining methods to pass on their legacy. For instance, the Bai family of Snow Peak, their Tea Dan Method can enlighten one¡¯s spirit and increase Divine Sense, making them extremely popular among Qi Practitioners.


    By virtue of this, they even prospered in the White Moon Market. Every spring, when there is a bountiful harvest of spiritual tea leaves, Loose Cultivators from neighboring countries, even those from Snow Country, flock there to buy Tea Dan. They cultivate their Divine Sense with these Tea Dans.


    The Bai family of Snow Peak, by selling Tea Dan, firmly controls a part of the Qi Practitioner market. This makes them one of the richest among the seven major families of Jian Country.

 Chapter 597 - Chapter 597: Chapter 387: Soul Nourishing Wood_2

    Chapter 597: Chapter 387: Soul Nourishing Wood_2


    This time, Hong Xu¡¯s pill formula was one that could boost the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment practitioners, making it priceless.


    The Divine Wood Sect even has a rule that if a monk stumbles upon a pill formula the Sect doesn¡¯t own while traveling, they could purchase it at a reasonable price, and the Sect would reimburse it.


    However, this rule is generally just for show. First, the monks of the Divine Wood Sect wouldn¡¯t bother to keep track of all the pill formulas the Sect owns and hence wouldn¡¯t necessarily know if this was included.


    Even if they definitely knew the Sect didn¡¯t own it, what constituted a reasonable price was highly debatable since there was no clear boundary, and it relied heavily on subjectivity.


    Both Fu Xiuzuo and Liang Jinggui who were at Chen Mobai¡¯s side were greatly interested and approached Hong Xu to check the contents of the two pill formulas.


    ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. If the Loose Repair Alliance intends to establish its business in Jian Country, they won¡¯t put out things with issues,¡± said Fu Xiuzuo after he assessed it, shaking his head before strolling back.


    ¡°It¡¯s too expensive. 30,000 spirit stones for two pill formulas. I just can¡¯t afford it,¡± Liang Jinggui stated. He had brought enough spirit stones, but his main target at the Star Heaven Corporation¡¯s event was the Soft Bone Pill. He was very interested in the two pill formulas that Hong Xu owned, but he valued his priorities more.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, don¡¯t you want to take a look?¡±


    As for pill formulas, if Chen Mobai was willing, he could collect dozens of them every day from the celestial sect. He looked down on those in the Tianhe Realm, but he still maintained modesty in his speech.


    ¡°I have no knowledge about alchemy, so I think I¡¯ll pass.¡±


    Hong Xu¡¯s two pill formulas were ultimately purchased by the Star Heaven Corporation. Only they seemed to have the huge wealth to willingly part with spirit stones for items they fancied.


    Then it was Liang Jinggui¡¯s turn. He pulled out two Beast Spirit Eggs which were laid by their family¡¯s two Rank-2 Qinghong Birds. After hatching, with enough medicinal pills and food, they could swiftly be nurtured to Rank-2.


    Originally, Chen Mobai thought that Foundation Establishment practitioners who could all fly wouldn¡¯t have any need for the Qinghong Birds.


    However, contrary to his expectations, several of those practitioners in the hall eagerly approached the eggs with gleaming eyes.


    ¡°Junior brother, those of us with flying artifacts are actually few. Many Foundation Establishment practitioners who fly through manipulating their Qi find it extremely exhausting on their spiritual power. Therefore, they typically keep a flying spirit beast or a flying artifact,¡± Liang Jinggui explained


    Flying artifacts have limited uses, only for flying. If added to the defense prohibition, the price would become extremely high.


    However, flying spirit beasts are different. Beast Spirit Eggs certainly cost less, plus they grow. The Liang family¡¯s Qinghong birds are famously known far and wide.


    Offspring of Rank-2 Qinghong Birds represent an unhindered advancement to Rank-2. If they¡¯re lucky, it¡¯s equivalent to having a flying handyman of the Foundation Building Realm.


    In no time, several Foundation Establishment cultivators started competing.


    At this moment, Yuan Hongyuan came over. No one knew what he whispered to Liang Jinggui, but soon they both vanished to the back hall.


    Soon, Liang Jinggui emerged with a delighted expression on his face.


    ¡°I hit the jackpot! For my two Beast Spirit Eggs and a hundred doses of the Open-spirit Pill and the Blood Qi-Pill, I¡¯ve traded a Rank-3 Immortal Peach.¡±


    Liang Jinggui didn¡¯t hide anything and told Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo about his transaction with Yuan Hongyuan.


    The Open-Spirit Pill and Blood Qi Pill are the best medicinal pills for nurturing spirit beasts. One dose costs 10 spirit stones. The pill formulas belong to the Divine Wood Sect. However, through his relations with Liang Yanyou, the Liang family can also use those formulas in exchange for an annual fee to the sect.


    Obviously, the value of two Qinghong Bird eggs didn¡¯t equate to a Rank-3 Immortal Peach. So, Liang Jinggui had to make up for it with the Open-Spirit Pill and Blood Qi Pill.


    ¡°Oh, I never would have thought Yuan Hongyuan would be willing to pick an Immortal Peach from Black Cloud Mountain.¡±


    Hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo couldn¡¯t help but glance at his storage bag. Even though he didn¡¯t hold any hope of reaching Core Formation, he still hoped to reach Perfection in his Foundation Establishment stage before his life ended. So when he heard of such a spiritual object, he couldn¡¯t help but want to acquire one.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Immortal Peach has five fruits left. They¡¯re 5,000 spirit stones each. Alternatively, you could exchange them with equivalent precious natural resources or medicinal pills.¡±


    At this point, Yuan Hongyuan stood up. He took out from his storage bag a palm-sized peach fruit, which was brightly red with a slight yellowish tinge.


    As soon as this Rank-3 Immortal Peach was unveiled, the hall was filled with a delicate and refreshing fragrance that was soothing to minds and hearts.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye noticed the extremely powerful and pure spiritual energy condensed into a liquid state within the peach, serene and stable.


    If consumed and refined, it could probably help his Pure Yang Scroll immediately break through to the 4th level of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai sighed, glancing at his spirit stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    I¡¯m really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. I can¡¯t even afford one.


    At that moment, both Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Star Heaven Corporation stepped forth and purchased a Rank-3 Immortal Peach each for 5,000 spirit stones.


    If it weren¡¯t for the rumored reduction of effects by half when consuming a second fruit, Lou Xuelong would have even been tempted to buy all five.


    Then, Hong Xu, who made a huge profit from selling pill formulas, also bought one.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t bring that many spirit stones with me this time. Brother Liang and junior Brother Chen, could you lend me some? I¡¯ll go to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Stone Shop to get them back for you later,¡± Fu Xiuzuo said, looking at the dwindling stack, anxiously flipping through his storage bag before he asked them sheepishly.

 Chapter 598 - Chapter 598: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_3

    Chapter 598: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_3


    Despite being the patriarch of the Fu Family, he only had a little over three thousand spirit stones on him.


    Liang Jinggui and Chen Mobai nodded, each providing him with one thousand.


    Although Chen Mobai actually wanted one too, even without this Immortal Peach, if he were to consume the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from the Immortal Sect, he should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Level Four within a year.


    So after some consideration, he restrained himself and decided not to purchase it.


    Following Fu Xiuzuo, the host, Wang Gongdao, also bought one.


    In a blink of an eye, only the last one was left.


    Quite a few Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were communicating with Yuan Hongyuan in hushed voices, seemingly wanting to make an exchange with other items, but all of their offers were refused.


    Just when the last piece seemed to be unsold, the Tang siblings, who had come with Hong Xu, suddenly made their move, claiming this Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit for themselves.


    Seeing Hong Xu give some spirit stones to Tang¡¯s siblings, Chen Mobai had a rough idea of the wealth of a loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    People like Liang Jinggui and Fu Xiuzuo from large families at the Foundation Establishment Level could mobilize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, however, these were the family properties, and they needed a justifiable cause to mobilize them.


    On the other hand, the regular Loose Cultivators generally had about a thousand spirit stones saved up. Including their magic artifacts and other possessions, their total wealth could amount to about five thousand spirit stones.


    Compared to indulgently spending at the exchange meeting and generously offering up nearly fifty thousand spirit stones, the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness seemed quite poor.


    As a Divine Wood Sect Monk whose status was second only to Lou Xuelong¡¯s, Chen Mobai had barely made any purchases at the exchange meeting.


    If not for reserving a Fire in Stone Seed, the miscellaneous cultivators present would have begun to suspect whether the monks of the Divine Wood Sect were even poorer than they were.


    ¡°This is a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood that we siblings obtained from a Secret Realm. Its grade is absolutely above Rank-2. We would like to exchange it for fifty thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai and others thought that the exchange meeting was about to end, the Tang siblings, who had just bought an Immortal Peach Fruit from Yuan Hongyuan, brought out a section of black, arm-thick, and half a meter long trunk.


    This trunk seemed to have been severed at the waist and the dark branches at the top were still intact, from which thin strands of black smoke could faintly be seen.


    ¡°May I take a look?¡±


    The speaker was another Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Group who seemed to know something about the Soul Nourishing Wood. The siblings knew she was the most likely buyer, hence, they happily handed over the wood to her.


    ¡°It barely qualifies as a Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood and could be helpful for Foundation Establishment cultivators in refining their divine senses and stabilizing their spiritual minds.¡±


    The female cultivator¡¯s name was Qu XiuXian, who was a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master. After inspecting the Soul Nourishing Wood, she offered her candid opinion.


    ¡°What a shame it¡¯s been severed.¡±


    Qu XiuXian sighed and remarked that the Soul Nourishing Wood was a rare treasure. If a Gold Core cultivator were to fail in the Nascent Soul Formation, having a complete Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could help in leaving the body and transforming it into a Legal Body Nascent Soul.¡±


    Although weaker than a regular Nascent Soul, it can still sweep anyone below the Nascent Soul stage.¡±


    However, after the Tang siblings¡¯ Soul Nourishing Wood was severed, it had lost the chance to grow further.


    ¡°If no one else is offering, I am willing to purchase it for ten thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the appraisal, Lou Xuelong had a chat with Qu XiuXian, then turned to the Tang siblings and made his offer.


    Despite the high offer, for the Tang siblings it seemed low. After exchanging a few glances, they eventually shook their heads, refusing the offer.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was pondering a question.


    If he divided his mindfulness into divine sense and guided the formless puppet with it from the Soul Nourishing Wood while his main body returned to the Immortal Sect, could he possibly avoid the dizzy spells and the painful effects of divine sense fragmentation arising from the current dichotomy?


    Or did he need two Soul Nourishing Woods, one acting respectively on the divided divine sense and the Body Sea of Consciousness?

 Chapter 599 - Chapter 599: Chapter 388: Trinity Divine Water_1

    Chapter 599: Chapter 388: Trinity Divine Water_1


    What a pity that the Soul Nourishing Wood was too expensive. Chen Mobai could only keep this in mind, ready to seek this spiritual object for Dividing Mind into Thoughts when he had the chance.


    After the exchange meeting, Wang Gongdao invited Chen Mobai, Fu Xiuzuo, and Liang Jinggui for tea, and they gladly agreed.


    Fu Xiuzuo even took out time to run an errand and later returned the thousand spirit stones that Chen Mobai and Liang Jinggui had sponsored.


    Three days later, Chen Mobai used his downgraded Qingyang Fire Seeds to exchange for the Fire in Stone seeds from Lou Xuelong.


    ¡°Chen Daoist friend, if you have extra Qingyang Fire Seeds in the future, I am willing to buy them at the same price.¡±


    Having obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed, Lou Xuelong seemed very pleased. Chen Mobai laughed and nodded in agreement.


    ¡°I saw a complete Fire in Stone at the exchange meeting. It¡¯s just a pity that I didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones, or I would definitely want to acquire it.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Lou Xuelong started to converse. The latter also seemed interested in making friends and talked about the origins of the Fire in Stone.


    ¡°This true fire was refined by Uncle Mo. He is already in the late stages of Core Formation and has begun preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. Therefore, he has been leading the Star Heaven business association across three territories¨CEast Wu, Eastern Wasteland, and East Barbarians¨Cfor the past decade or so, trying to earn enough contributions to exchange for the Tri-light God Water from the sect.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what is this Tri-light God Water? Is it a baby-forming spiritual object of your sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew nothing about the baby-forming spiritual objects in the Tianhe Realm and took the opportunity to ask Lou Xuelong, a disciple of Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Indeed, the Tri-light God Water is a supreme spiritual object refined by my sect from the essence of the sun, moon, and stars. It can treat all injuries and diseases, even regenerate flesh and bones, and revive the dead. Consuming it during Nascent Soul Formation provides a second chance if the first fails. Even the taoist children from the Holy Land in East Land often seek it from our sect.¡±


    Lou Xuelong spoke proudly. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but yearn for it after hearing this.


    Isn¡¯t this just equivalent to allowing any cultivator to use the Lasting Spring Cultivation once without any conditions!


    If there¡¯s a chance in the future, he must also seek a dose of Tri-light God Water from Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Our ancestor, Zhou, of my Divine Wood Sect is also preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. I wonder if we can purchase a dose of Tri-light God Water from your sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai used the name of the Divine Wood Sect and Zhou Shengqing to probe the price of the Tri-light God Water.


    ¡°Chen Daoist friend, the refining of Tri-light God Water is extremely troublesome. It requires several of our Nascent Soul ancestors to spend decades refining sunlight, moonlight, and starlight from beyond the sky. It¡¯s extremely valuable. Usually, only the Gold Core cultivators who have made significant contributions to the sect are eligible to exchange for it. If outsiders want to buy it, they will only have the chance at the time of the Beidou Conference.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai understood the Eastern Wasteland well now, he only knew the names of the remaining five major regions and the names of the top sects and forces outside of Eastern Wasteland.


    He didn¡¯t understand many of the terms Lou Xuelong mentioned.


    But he had the advantage of asking when he didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°What is the Beidou Conference?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the grandest exchange meeting our Star Heaven Dao Sect holds every cycle of sixty years. It¡¯s a grand event in the Eastern Region. To attract the participation of the major sects from the holy lands in East Land, our ancestors will showcase seven top-grade spiritual objects and magic artifacts. Generally speaking, there¡¯s always Tri-light God Water among them. At that time, it depends on whether your sect can offer a price that can surpass all other sects in the Eastern Region.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai realized that the chances of the Divine Wood Sect obtaining the Tri-light God Water were almost nil.


    Even if they look at the entire Eastern Wasteland, Divine Wood Sect can¡¯t outcompetes the other six major sects in wealth, let alone outcompete all six regions in the entire Eastern Region.


    ¡°Thank you, Lou Daoist friend, for your explanation.¡±


    Chen Mobai chatted for a while longer with Lou Xuelong and then excused himself.


    The Fire in Stone seed was sealed in a grey wooden box. While waiting for the exchange meeting to end, Chen Mobai slowly refined this True Fire in his rented cave dwelling.


    With his experience in refining the Qingyang Fire and his mastery of the Pure Yang Scroll, the process of refining the Fire in Stone was smooth.


    A wisp of grey-white fire lighted on his fingertip. Unlike the burning heat of the Qingyang fire, this Fire in Stone carried just a hint of warmth. Touching it felt like holding a cup of warm water, but unbeknownst to you, it would turn touched tangible objects into powder.


    ¡°This Fire in Stone is an excellent match for alchemy.¡±


    Upon seeing the grey-white fire on his fingertip turning the qing stone into dust, Chen Mobai thought of this.


    During alchemy, it¡¯s necessary to completely align the medicinal properties, and before that, there¡¯s a process of crushing. With this Fire in Stone, it¡¯s easy to achieve this, ensuring no residual substances, and perfect release of medicinal properties.


    For Chen Mobai, acquiring the Fire in Stone was mainly planning for the future.


    He already owned the Fire in Wood, the Fire in Stone; only needing the Fire in Air, then he could try to cultivate the ¡°Samadhi True Fire,¡± a widely known immortal technique.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Fortunately, the Dance Tool Dao Academy also had a collection, so he didn¡¯t need to spend a huge amount of points to exchange it from the Immortal Door Spell Library.


    Because Chen Mobai had the Fire in Wood early on, he had been focusing on the Immortal Technique of ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡± for a while.


    It was a pity that to exchange for this Immortal Technique from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he would have to demonstrate that he had mastered three kinds of True Fire. Chen Mobai still lacked the Fire in Air.


    This Fire in Air, also called ¡°Sky Fire,¡± is a type of True Fire naturally formed in the void.


    For thousands of years, there hasn¡¯t been any naturally generated Sky Fire in the Immortal Door. There are various reasons for this, but based on Yuan Xu¡¯s theory of artificially synthesizing Geomagnetic Qi, artificial synthesis of Sky Fire has been achieved at the Immortal Door.

 Chapter 600 - Chapter 600: Chapter 388: Three-Light Divine Water_2

    Chapter 600: Chapter 388: Three-Light Divine Water_2


    However, Chen Mobai had previously felt that the Samadhi True Fire was quite distant to him, so he had not paid attention to this aspect.


    He made a mental note of this, planning to look up information related to Fire in Air after he finished touring the five major markets in Jian Country at the Daoist Academy.


    After playing with the Fire in Stone seed for a while, Chen Mobai swallowed it. The Fire Spirit Body allowed him, to be immune to the harm of the True Fire.


    With the addition of the Fire in Stone in his stomach, Chen Mobai felt a slight liveliness in the Earth Attribute Sword Smite that had just been condensed on his little finger.


    Three days ago, Chen Mobai had finally refined all the Rank-3 ointments made by Qing Nu into the fingertips of his right hand.


    He could begin to cultivate the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation he has been anticipating for a long time.


    Since the Five Elements are based on earth, it is best to practice the Earth Attribute Sword Smite first, and then cultivate the others one by one in the order of the Five Elements circulation.


    According to Chen Mo Bai¡¯s estimate, if he fully concentrated for a month, he could complete the cultivation of his Five Elements Sword Finger.


    At that time, he would have another great killing move, and his sense of security would rise again.


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to cultivate the Earth Attribute Sword Smite again, a Message Talisman was delivered. It was from his main disciple, Liu Wenbo, reminding him that the sale had already ended.


    It¡¯s finally over?


    As soon as the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s exit was announced, it immediately reached the ears of Yuan Hongyuan and others, who breathed a sigh of relief.


    They planned the assassination in the next White Moon Market; the longer Chen Mobai stayed in Tiankui Market, the more pressure they felt.


    After all, this was the home base of the Divine Wood Sect. Once exposed, none of them would be able to escape.


    Star Fallen Square.


    Chen Mobai paid 630 Spirit Stones and obtained the items he won from the Star Heaven Corporation.


    In addition to the Lung Gold Qi and Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, and the Five Elemental Stones, there were a second rank Pure Bamboo from the Kong Sang Valley and a piece of Beast Skin and an Iron Bead from Strange Character Shop which were bid to confuse the lamp holder.


    But the lamp holder he was most concerned about was auctioned by someone else.


    This is somewhat disappointing.


    Chen Mobai sat in a compartment on the second floor of the Divine Wood Sect Shop, looked at the several Spiritual Objects on the table, and fell into thought.


    After a long time, he sighed and didn¡¯t seek out Lou Xuelong to ask who had taken the lamp holder.


    After all, the reason the sale could attract many Loose Cultivators was because Star Heaven Corporation promised to keep the buyer¡¯s identity confidential.


    Although this is the Eastern Wilderness, and the Divine Wood Sect is well-known, they would definitely not allow Lou Xuelong to damage the reputation of the family¡¯s corporation.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai decided not to engage in such a meaningless act.


    Moreover, even if the Five-Color Lotus Lamp and the lamp holder were intact, he wouldn¡¯t have the method to light the lamp wick, and this Rank-3 Magic Artifact would still be unusable.


    Consider it as having no fate with this lamp holder.


    After understanding this, Chen Mobai was no longer worried. He packed up these Spiritual Objects on the table, notified his two disciples, and planned to leave for White Moon Market tomorrow.


    At a valley outside Tiankui Market.


    Yuan Hongyuan, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings stood in three different directions, silent, seemingly waiting for someone.


    ¡°Strange, the Yinming Messenger has never been late.¡±


    The square-faced, big-eared Hong Xu had a good relationship with both Yuan Hongyuan and the Tang siblings, and he broke the silence first.


    They were all from the Huangquan organization, had received orders to assassinate Chen Mobai, and had all received early rewards from the organization.


    Today was the time for the main commander of the action to come and connect with them. The person who came was a core member of Huangquan, a Yinming Messenger.


    ¡°Maybe something held him up. Let¡¯s wait another hour. If the messenger doesn¡¯t come, we will act according to the original plan.¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan said coldly, Tang Da from the Tang siblings remained silent, while Tang sister giggled and nod, about to liven up the atmosphere, when a chilly, gloomy coldness suddenly protruded from the ground.


    A stream of dark ghost energy drilled out of the ground, transforming in an instant into a tall, thin messenger with a pale face and wearing a high hat.


    ¡°Sorry, I encountered an artifact in Star Fallen Square that the organization had lost for a long time. It took some time to get it.¡±


    The Yinming Messenger spoke feebly. He looked like a piece of paper, wavering as the mountain wind blew, seemingly about to disperse at any moment.


    ¡°When the target is in White Moon Market, I will immediately cut off the Bai family¡¯s teleportation array. After killing the target, I¡¯ll loot the whole market. You guys should head over to the neighboring Snow Country before the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s backup arrives, and teleport to the Eastern Yi Territory via the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s teleportation array. Regardless of how much influence the Divine Wood Sect holds in the Eastern Wilderness, they won¡¯t be able to act recklessly within the Eastern Yi Territory.¡±


    After hearing the Yinming Messenger¡¯s plan, Yuan Hongyuan, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings exchanged a glance, nodding in agreement.


    ¡°We will meet in three days.¡±


    All seemed to be in agreement. The Yinming Messenger nodded with satisfaction, then was whisked away by the mountain breeze and turned into black smoke, disappearing from their sight.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go ahead.¡±


    Hong Xu cupped his fist towards Yuan Hongyuan and the Tang siblings, then turned into a streak of fire and flew away, disappearing from sight in an instant.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, I don¡¯t know if you have any extra Immortal Peach Fruit. We siblings only have one which is not enough to divide, after looting the White Moon Market, we will certainly have enough spirit stones to give you.¡±


    Miss Tang said, smiling coquettishly at Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan simply responded with this, then disappeared from the valley.


    All the members of their Huangquan team had now set out for White Moon Market, each employing their own methods.


    Not long afterwards, Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu surprisingly ended up traveling together again.


    ¡°Where did the Tang siblings get the Soul Nourishing Wood?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan asked Hong Xu directly, indicating the two had a deep relationship.


    ¡°It¡¯s from Huangquan Headquarters. Tang Da voluntarily walked the Huangquan Road in order to break through and brought back that Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    ¡°Huangquan Road!¡±


    At the sound of these three words, fear crossed Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face.


    It was said to be the road to the Underworld. Near the end of a cultivator¡¯s lifespan, those who cross this road can transform into ghost cultivators and gain eternal life, but they would lose all their memories and descend into eternal torment as fierce ghosts.


    And that was the birthplace of the organization Huangquan.


    ¡°So, Tang Da is now a fierce ghost?¡±


    ¡°More or less, but it seems that part of his memory remained. Maybe Huangquan did something or it¡¯s the effect of the Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    Hong Xu nodded, giving his own judgement.


    ¡°Did the organization give you the Huangquan Holy Fruit?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan suddenly asked.


    ¡°Huangquan Holy Fruit! The organization is really willing to make such a large investment to kill this Chen Guixian. You¡¯re a lucky guy!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hong Xu looked surprised. Evidently, he hadn¡¯t been given the Huangquan Holy Fruit, and he looked at Yuan Hongyuan with envy and suspicion.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve taken the Huangquan Holy Fruit, why is your cultivation level only at mid-Foundation Establishment?¡±


    ¡°I used a talisman to conceal my cultivation level. Breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of time would be too conspicuous, so I need to disguise it.¡±


    Hearing Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s explanation, Hong Xu nodded in understanding. He then took out a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit from his storage bag.


    ¡°Here, give me back my spirit stones.¡±


    During the exchange meeting, Hong Xu had been acting on behalf of Yuan Hongyuan. He had already consumed the Immortal Peach Fruit, so it was no longer useful to him.


    After Yuan Hongyuan took the Immortal Peach Fruit and handed back Hong Xu¡¯s spirit stones, he asked another question.


    ¡°The Tang siblings borrowed spirit stones from you to buy a Immortal Peach Fruit. What did they use as collateral?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°No collateral. Anyway, after looting White Moon Market, they will definitely have enough spirit stones to return.¡±


    Hong Xu waved it off unconcernedly. After all, they were all members of the same organization. He had cooperated with the Tang siblings several times and somewhat trusted them.


    ¡°Hopefully.¡±


    With these words, Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu once again separated, moving towards White Moon Market on their own.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai was also leaving Tiankui Market with his two disciples.

 Chapter 601 - Chapter 601: Chapter 389: Sword Sha shows his power_1

    Chapter 601: Chapter 389: Sword Sha shows his power_1


    The White Moon Market was already located at the northernmost part of Jian Country, and beyond it lay the Snow Country, the territory of another major alliance in the Eastern Wilderness, the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Chen Mobai arrived and successfully completed the inspection task without any issues.


    The manager here, Jin Guozhang, appeared to be a reliable cultivator with all accounts in order.


    ¡°Sir Town Guard, this is the Bai family¡¯s ¡°White Mist Spirit Bud¡±, a Rank-2 Spiritual Tea cultivated from a branch of the ¡°Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡±. Tea Pills made from these Spiritual Tea leaves are the best medicines for improving a cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense.¡±


    Upon hearing Jin Guozhang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai raised the transparent bluish-green tea in his hand and gently took a sip. Indeed, a refreshing aura welled up, making his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion utterly clear.


    Unfortunately, he was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his Divine Sense Realm was at a bottleneck. To him, this pot of precious spiritual tea only made him feel invigorated.


    In contrast, after Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan drank the tea, their complexions were rosy and their eyes were bright, obviously benefitting a lot from the tea.


    ¡°Jin, I wonder if this Bai family¡¯s tea is for sale?¡±


    ¡°To answer the Town Guard, the Bai family has a special shop selling tea seeds in the White Moon Market. A Rank-1 tea seed costs 10 Spirit Stones per plant, while a Rank-2 one costs 200 Spirit Stones per plant.¡±


    ¡°What if I want to buy a branch of the Rank-3 ¡®Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡¯?¡±


    ¡°For that, you would have to personally request it from the Bai family¡¯s headquarters at Snow Peak. Given your status as the Town Guard, the Bai family would surely agree.¡±


    No sooner had Jin Guozhang finished speaking than Bai Dingxian, the patriarch of the Bai family, already came to visit.


    ¡°Hahaha, I have long heard from Brother Zeng that the Divine Wood Sect has produced an unrivaled Sword Cultivation Genius. Today, that reputation does not seem to be in vain.¡±


    Bai Dingxian was a rosy-faced old man. He was only slightly younger than Liang Jinggui but remained youthful in appearance. His hair was as white as a crane¡¯s, and his beard glowed brilliantly. He looked spirited, showing no signs of old age.


    ¡°Greetings, Clan Leader Bai.¡±


    Bai Dingxian and the Divine Wood Sect had excellent relationships, especially with the Alchemy and Spirit Plant Departments. Apart from having the largest tea garden in the entire Eastern Wilderness, the Bai family also cultivated several hundred acres of herb fields.


    When the Divine Wood Sect performed Alchemy, they occasionally needed to purchase herbs from the Bai family.


    Even the tea pills produced by the Bai family every year had a portion which they supplied exclusively to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai had seen this on the exchange list of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, but he was not interested in the Elixirs that the Tianhe Realm had to offer, so he was unaware of the prices.


    ¡°Just so happens that a Snow Needle Tea Tree recently had its buds plucked and needs to be trimmed. If the Town Guard could wait a couple of days, I will have someone from my clan deliver it.¡±


    Bai Dingxian readily agreed to Chen Mobai¡¯s request and even asked whether he wanted any other types of tea.


    Because a Rank-3 tea tree branch planted in the Giant Tree Ridge had failed to thrive despite numerous attempts, while regular Rank-1 tea tree had a fifty percent chance of growing successfully.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in gratitude. Afterwards, he inquired Bai Dingxian about the situation in the White Moon Market.


    Just then, Bai Dingxian¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up.


    ¡°Who dares! Who could it be!¡±


    With a thunderous yell, Bai Dingxian shot out of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop like a streak of Escaping Light.


    At first, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t react. But he soon felt a violent surge in the spiritual energy of the earth veins. This was a sign that the town¡¯s Defense Array had been activated.


    ¡°Not good, there¡¯s a powerful enemy attacking the market!¡±


    At this point, several Loose Cultivators outside began shouting, and chaos ensued in the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Both of you, follow Jin¡¯s commands and guard the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone depot here. If the array is broken, have the Sect Disciples scatter and flee with the Spirit Stones, Magic Artifacts, and Elixirs. Remember, safety first.¡±


    Chen Mobai acted immediately. After giving his orders to Jin Guozhang and the two disciples present, he didn¡¯t wait for their response. He immediately hopped on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and flew out after Bai Dingxian.


    Barely reaching the skies above the market, he saw three streams of spiritual light flying in from the east. Each carried a dark talisman, ruthlessly crashing onto the Defense Array of the White Moon Market.


    Simultaneously, two streams of Foundation Establishment spirit light shockingly rose within the market itself. They had already seized the upper hand and destroyed two vital points of the Array.


    With successive flashes of spiritual light, the shield formed by the array flickered on and off¨Cit seemed likely to collapse at any moment.


    With a resonating ¡®Hum¡¯, Bai Dingxian rushed out of a shop in the market that had just exploded. He was furiously wielding the Array Plate, channeling an extremely valuable top-grade Spirit Stone into it to stimulate the Defense Array¡¯s power and resist the five intruders.

    ¡°Damn it. Part of the Spirit Vein¡¯s flow has been changed. Not only has the Array¡¯s power been weakened, even the Teleportation Array has been severed and can¡¯t be activated.¡±


    Bai Dingxian knew that the only one who could save the White Moon Market now was Chen Mobai, the number one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect. So, while stimulating the Defensive Array¡¯s power, he also explained the current situation in the simplest terms possible.


    ¡°External enemies haven¡¯t broken in yet, but chaos has already broken out inside.¡±


    Chen Mobai, hovering in mid-air, sighed as he witnessed various Loose Cultivators exploiting their higher cultivation levels to attack other Cultivators. They brazenly robbed various medicines and talismans, showcasing the worst of human nature.


    He even saw several Loose Cultivators form groups to attack the major shops led by the Divine Wood Sect and the Bai family after robbing some street stalls.

 Chapter 602 - Chapter 602: Chapter 389: Sword Sha Shows Power_2

    Chapter 602: Chapter 389: Sword Sha Shows Power_2


    It seems like they planned on stealing and then fleeing.


    The Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop, which stores nearly half of the spirit stones in the White Moon Market, is now surrounded by various loose cultivators.


    Chen Mobai saw his two disciples guarding the entrance of the Spirit Stone Shop with Jin Guozhang. The twenty disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the White Moon Market were all present, having drawn their magic artifacts to confront the hundreds of loose cultivators that kept swarming in.


    Boom!


    At that moment, the vein of earth was changed. The array, which could not connect to the spiritual energy of the earth vein, could not stand the continuous bombardment from the inside and outside by five Foundation Establishment cultivators. A huge hole broke open.


    The three Foundation Establishment cultivators outside the array immediately entered one after the other. One of them roared ferociously and brought up numerous ghost shadows, dividing into dozens of clones like ghosts directly rolling towards Chen Mobai.


    The rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators released their spells while circling Chen Mobai, aiming to completely destroy the protective array where the spirit vein node of the market was.


    This scene completely triggered the greed in the hearts of the loose cultivators. Upon one man¡¯s shout, many daring rogue cultivators already jumped into the backyard of the Spirit Stone Shop.


    A green sword light raced like a fish, blood splattered, and three heads had flown up.


    It was Luo Yixuan manipulating the Divine Wood Sword. With her pretty face cold and eyes frosty, as a third true disciple, she could basically slaughter these mob loose cultivators.


    Liu Wenbo on the other side was also controlling his own flying sword, guarding the front gate of the Spirit Stone Shop, leading sect disciples to resist dozens of Qi practitioners.


    ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s time to retreat.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sword passed over, and the heads of two loose cultivators who had attacked Liu Wenbo from behind were cut off by Luo Yixuan. After sweeping the area, she saw more and more cultivators rushing over here, and made the decision to give up.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hold on a little longer, Master is here, everything will be fine.¡±


    Liu Wenbo was controlling the Green Scale Arm Guard, protecting himself and Luo Yixuan. In his hand, he held a spirit stone, supplementing the intense consumption of controlling the Rank-2 magic artifact.


    ¡°Alright, but once our spiritual power loss exceeds fifty percent, we should preserve our lives first as Master ordered.¡±


    Luo Yixuan had no choice but to maintain her spiritual power and hold on a little longer as Liu Wenbo was not retreating. Although she had great confidence in her own master, in the face of five Foundation Establishment cultivators, she estimated that they could hardly spare any effort to take care of them.


    Under such circumstances, it would be better to follow the previously agreed upon plan and retreat first.


    At this moment, a dazzling green light lit up in the sky like the sun.


    Accompanied by a sizzling sound!


    All the cultivators in the market couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    They saw green electricity emitting from a tall figure¡¯s palm, transforming into five dazzling electric light columns in an instant, like thunder spears. They penetrated and ripped through the overwhelming ghost shadows and also blocked the spells unleashed by the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Along with a scream and a burning smell, the Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s head who was rushing towards Chen Mobai was burst by the Yimu Divine Thunder. The ghost shadows all over the sky disappeared, leaving only a corpse falling from the sky and heavily hitting the street in the center of the market.


    After penetrating a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the green lightning column still had momentum. It heavily hit the ground, brutally sweeping around the outer perimeter of the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop.


    Accompanied by screams one after another and blood mist, the continuously rushing cultivators in the White Moon Market evaporated seventy to eighty percent due to this Yimu Divine Thunder Technique.


    Since the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were all inside the Spirit Stone Store, they were not affected by this powerful thunder technique.


    But they witnessed how a dozen loose cultivators who were rushing at them with ferocious faces were turned to ashes scattered on the ground after a thick lightning column hit and swept across the ground.


    The terror of such mighty power finally showed these inexperienced loose cultivators how terrifying Foundation Establishment cultivators can be.


    Even those at Qi Cultivation Perfection had no power to resist in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°How was I so blinded, trying to rob the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shops!¡±


    ¡°Damn it, I can only escape to the cultivation world in the Snow Country now!¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Yimu Divine Thunder Technique strike, all the loose cultivators who had lost their rationality and wanted to loot the Spirit Stone Store came to their senses.


    Liu Wenbo and the others, who were still struggling, seeing that three of the Qi cultivation Level-9 cultivators who had escaped the lightning wash turned around and fled, even forgot to chase after them in their shock.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, had a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Her snow-white right hand manipulated a stream, and as she opened her mouth, her Ice Technique began to form three ice arrows, putting a thoroughly chilling end to the enemy trailing furthest behind.


    ¡°Junior Sister, never pursue a desperate enemy. It¡¯s more important for us to hold our position.¡±


    Liu Wenbo thought Luo Yixuan wanted to pursue and kill the enemies, but she shook her head, her face filled with worry as she looked toward the sky.


    The area around Chen Mobai was already filled with Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    By this point, everyone knew that this massacre was aimed at Chen Mobai, the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Before my eyes, all your disguises are worthless.¡±


    All the Foundation Establishment cultivators invading from the White Moon Market were dressed in black robes and black masks, with a prohibition against divine sense overlaid on them, clearly aiming to keep their identities hidden.


    However, as Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eyes swept over them, he could clearly see the true faces hidden beneath the masks.


    ¡°Yuan Hongyuan!¡±


    ¡°Hong Xu!¡±


    ¡°Tang siblings!¡±


    ¡°The only person whose origin I didn¡¯t know has already been killed by me.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the four people surrounding him and accurately called out their names. They all looked at each other, then removed their masks, their eyes cold.


    ¡°Set up the formation and kill him.¡±


    With the Yinming Messenger reduced to charcoal, Yuan Hongyuan was now the person with the highest cultivation level. He let out a stern yell and pulled a huge Array Flag out of his storage bag.


    Hong Xu and the Tang siblings similarly pulled out the same kind of black Array Flags. With the four of them joining forces, a black cloud began to fill the sky immediately, like a continuous mass of dark clouds tumbling down, covering half of the sky above the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Mister Town Guard, I¡¯ll go to the Divine Wood Sect and call for reinforcements!¡±


    Seeing that Yuan Hongyuan and the other three completely disregarded him, Bai Dingxian was both scared and happy. He shouted to Chen Mobai, who was already shrouded in darkness and gradually obscured, took this rare opportunity to break free from the array, boarded a flying shuttle, and fled the White Moon Market without looking back.


    ¡°A miserable coward.¡±


    Seeing Bai Dingxian escape, Yuan Hongyuan disdainfully spoke, and then, within Huangquan¡¯s Large Formation of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he unfolded his own Array of Five Clouds.


    After the two formations were deployed, Yuan Hongyuan confidently unleashed his powerful strength at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Kill him, then loot the resources in the market, and withdraw as soon as possible.¡±


    After Bai Dingxian¡¯s escape, he would quickly inform the Divine Wood Sect about the situation. However, there would still be some time before the sect could send people here, enough time for them to carry out their plan.


    ¡°With the Yinming Messenger gone, we¡¯ll get a bigger share.¡±


    Hong Xu said greedily, then waved the black Array Flag in his hand, continuously injecting his spiritual power into the Large Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Within a blink of an eye, the black clouds had become so dense that nothing could be seen. Within them, shadowy phantom figures of fierce ghosts began emerge, about to devour Chen Mobai who was at the center of it all.


    But at this moment, a golden sun rose at the center of the Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts.


    Above Chen Mobai¡¯s head was the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which exploded with a burst of Pure Yang Fire, incinerating all the shadowy ghost figures and black clouds around him.


    He looked slightly puzzled as he uncorked the lid of the yellow gourd tied at his waist.

    Then, under the disbelieving eyes of Yuan Hongyuan and the others, who were preparing to pour in their spiritual power to trigger the second change in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array, an orange brilliance emerged.


    The orange brilliance quickly extended to become a kilometer long light, swirling around the person at its center, Chen Mobai, perfectly cutting Yuan Hongyuan and the others in half.


    In the midst of the bloodshed, their body-protecting magic items and spirit talismans didn¡¯t even get a chance to be activated. In a mess of scattered light, they felt a severe pain around their waist, and then discovered that their bodies had already been severed into two parts.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand, how did you dare to try to kill me with your abilities?¡±


    With a puzzled look, Chen Mobai retracted the Primordial Yang Sword Evil and closed the lid of the yellow-gourd.

 Chapter 603 - Chapter 603: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_1

    Chapter 603: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_1


    After slaying Yuan Hongyuan and his three allies, Chen Mobai was about to collect their bodies. Suddenly, a bizarre chill arose from behind him, then a terrifyingly sharp aura attacked his head like a blade.


    ¡°A sixth one!?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked. The strength of this sixth attacker significantly surpassed that of Yuan Hongyuan and his group, indicating that he was likely at the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. The timing of his attack was also well-calculated.


    It was exactly at the moment when Chen Mobai had let down his guard after killing all of his adversaries.


    But Chen Mobai had clearly scanned all directions using his Void Spirit Eye and only saw five adversaries at the Foundation Establishment level. From where did this extra one emerge?


    However, there was no time to think about this now. Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense quickly transformed the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± refined by Ming Yuhua into a protective energy barrier that formed behind him.


    But this attacker, who had been waiting for a long time, was very powerful. His frigid sharp blade was briefly stopped by the energy barrier but easily tore through it and was now pointing at the Jade Pillow Acupoint at the back of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Just as he was about to be struck, a huge semi-transparent finger bone appeared out of nowhere and blocked the frigid black blade. With a slight grind, it crushed the attacker into black mist.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    The All Laws Persona was intrinsically connected with Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, this sensation of crushing something intangible startled him, making him turn around in surprise.


    Having seen his ambusher, he finally understood why he hadn¡¯t detected him earlier.


    Because this wasn¡¯t the sixth opponent, but the Cultivator Chen Mobai had first killed with his Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    However, the body that had been struck by Chen¡¯s Yi Wood Divine Thunder remained on the street. The enormous spiritual power within it had fully exited the corpse and transformed into an indistinct human silhouette made of black mist.


    ¡°What are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t encountered such an entity before. This life form was entirely free from the binding of the physical form, all its strength seemed to have merged into this cloud of black fog, shapeless, formless, and unrestricted.


    ¡°To think, your power is this formidable, youngster.¡±


    After the Yinming Messenger left his physical body, he used his spiritual power to vibrate the air to speak. While speaking, he pulled a small black flag from within the black mist and waved it towards the bodies of the slain Yuan Hongyuan and his three allies.


    Along with ear-piercing screams, the black Array Flags held by the four corpses took flight and merged into the flag in the hand of the Yinming Messenger.


    ¡°Why¡­?¡±


    A desperate voice belonging to Hong Xu echoed. Chen Mobai saw Hong Xu¡¯s soul actually being drawn by the black Array Flag, tied tightly to it. He was unable to free himself despite his struggles.


    ¡°If you had been able to kill him, you would still have your uses. Since you¡¯re dead now, why not put your remains to good use and enhance the power of my Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag.¡±


    After the icy voice of the Yinming Messenger ended, Tang Da¡¯s soul was also extracted and merged into the Array Flag. However, Tang Da¡¯s body, which Chen Mobai had cut in half, began to change.


    His upper and lower body began to merge, flesh quickly sprouting from the wound to reattach himself. His body horrifically expanded, his skin turned black, and two ox horns grew from his head.


    Underworld fierce ghost ¡ª Ox Head!


    With the wave of the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag in the hand of the Yinming Messenger, Tang Da, now transformed into the Ox Head ghost, stood up in the street.


    He had already completely lost his reason. With a wave of his hand, he tore open the shop he landed in, then, the saliva drooling from his mouth, slams the ground with his swollen legs and leaps at Chen Mobai like a cannonball.


    ¡°It seems that he has been transformed into a painless monster, and his recovery ability is very strong. I don¡¯t know if he can recover from being cut into pieces by Primordial Yang Sword Evil? Nevermind, I should play it safe!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye detection had already seen the current state of Tang Da.


    Since there was still an unknown strong opponent, he felt that he could not waste too much time on this painless and untiring Ox Head.


    Chen Mobai spat out a small green Sword Pill which flew out and triturated into the Ox Head¡¯s forehead like a spark.


    Subsequently, a green fire started burning on the Ox Head¡¯s skull and soon engulfed his whole body. Chen Mobai had activated the ¡®Blood Burning¡¯ properties of his Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    Although Ox Head didn¡¯t feel pain or the sensation of burning, when he reached Chen Mobai, his body crumbled into ashes because all the blood and water in his body had dried up due to the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter!?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon seeing this, the Yinming Messenger was slightly taken aback.


    He hadn¡¯t seen the Primordial Yang Sword Evil before since it was a sword technique from the Immortal Sect. Hence, he had thought that it was a terrifying magic artifact of Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    However, the scene of Ox Head being turned to ashes by a small green Sword Pill, reminded him of similarly horrifying memories he should have forgotten.


    ¡°Alright, now it really is just you.¡±


    Having dealt with the Ox Head, Chen Mobai turned to the swirling black mist of the Yinming Messenger, with the Mysterious Yang Divine Light Shield ready to form and the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror emerging above his head.

 Chapter 604 - Chapter 604: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_2

    Chapter 604: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_2


    Chen Mobai was somewhat uncertain about the guy standing before him, so he resolved to go all in, seeking to resolve matters as swiftly as possible to avoid complications.


    ¡°Hehe, who would¡¯ve thought that, on a random mission to rob and kill, I¡¯d run into a genius like you!¡±


    After witnessing the Rank-3 Magic Artifact and the Green Flames Sword Evil, the Yinming Messenger, instead of retreating, allowed his black mist form to encase the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, like a long black dragon. He suddenly circled Chen Mobai and then merged into Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s dead body.


    Sizzling!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows knitted and the Yimu Divine Thunder Technique burst forth again ¨C the striking electric light from his fingertips had already condensed into a massive thunder pillar in his palm, crashing heavily onto Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s dead body.


    However, a dark mist surged from the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, surprisingly resisting his powerful Thunder method of Rank-3.


    At this point, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse had been occupied by the Yinming Messenger. There was still an orange-red glow flickering at the wound left by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Slash, reflecting the residue of the Sword¡¯s potent power.


    But the Yinming Messenger seemed not to care, condensing the black mist into a blade and removing another portion of the wound along with the Sword Evil. Then he effortlessly reformed the two separate parts into a new host body.


    ¡°Damn¡­ so it turns out¡­ the primary function of the Huangquan Holy Fruit is this¡­¡±


    Now, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s soul was manifested on the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. Seeing the Yinming Messenger easily invade his body, he finally reacted with a face full of regret.


    ¡°Have you realized it yet? There is no such spiritual medicine in this world that can let people increase their realm in such a short time.¡±


    Without any care, the Yinming Messenger waved the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Flag in his hand, and Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s shadow on the flag immediately dulled.


    Crash!


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai had already pushed the power of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, to his maximum control limit. The pure white and blazing flames of Pure Yang, like a waterfall, showered down on the just parasitic Yinming Messenger.


    With every wave of the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, a surge of dark mist rose, but the power that managed to resist Yimu Divine Thunder began to back down against the Pure Yang Fire, gradually retreating inch by inch.


    ¡°Huh, your artifact is unexpectedly a Pure Yang Demon-refining legal treasure!¡±


    The Yinming Messenger commented somewhat surprisingly. However, with no choice left, he powered up the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag to its full potential. The many fierce ghosts contained within began to materialize under the cover of the dark mist. In the blink of an eye, there were a hundred of them.


    Then, under the Yinming Messenger¡¯s manipulation of the small, black flag, and following their strange steps, these hundred fierce ghosts formed a Hundred Demons Array in the air.


    The ghastly and cold wave began to form within the array, continuously combating the Pure Yang Fire flames, gradually stabilizing its footing.


    With one sweep of his eyes, Chen Mobai understood the situation before his eyes.


    His Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had been restrained by the enemy¡¯s Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. This was not due to his artifact¡¯s inferiority but probably because his opponent¡¯s realm seemed to surpass his own significantly. Plus, employing the formation amplified its power considerably.


    Without any hesitation, he once again uncorked the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist. The orange-red glow that emerged instantly condensed into a kilometer-long fine line. Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it once again split Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse, now occupied by the Yinming Messenger, into two parts.


    However, the corpse bore a pale smile. After brushing off the wound¡¯s residual Primordial Yang Sword Evil, it merged again into one, reverting to its original form.


    Chen Mobai promptly spat out a cyan-colored Sword Pill.


    Facing the Green Flames Sword Evil, the Yinming Messenger dared not pretend.


    He started Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Wuyan Yunluo Large Formation. A water mist covered the sky as he constantly switched positions using the formation.


    While the Green Flames Sword Evil evaporated large pieces of mist every time it fell, the Yinming Messenger dodged ahead of time every time, like a slippery mudfish.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows creased slightly. It was important to note that even when facing Ji Dingjin, a Body Cultivator with Foundational Establishment Perfection, he didn¡¯t find it this hard.


    This Yinming Messenger did not seem to be of merely Foundation Establishment realm.


    ¡°He probably hasn¡¯t noticed that detail yet, it¡¯s almost time.¡±


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, he was planning the death blow against his opponent, while at the same time, the Yinming Messenger was estimating the remaining time the host body could support.


    Even though the Huangquan Holy Fruit was used to refine in advance, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s cultivation level was comparatively lower, only allowing him to demonstrate the strength of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Stage.


    Moreover, because of the intense consumption of Pure Yang Fire from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the time he had originally anticipated for its use had now significantly reduced.


    The most crucial thing was that time was not on his side. If the rescue from the Divine Wood Sect arrived, regardless of him possessing an undying body or not possible, he could be trapped and killed.


    ¡°Quick fight and quick decision, this kid, after all, lacks combat experience.¡±


    Having made up his mind, the Yinming Messenger detonated the full power of Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Five Cloud Luo Large Formation in one go, spreading a misty cold wave in mid-air, giving rise to a vast illusory image.


    At the same time, the body of the Yinming Messenger shockingly charged right in front of Chen Mobai in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s body flickered with flames, seeming to teleport a significant distance backward in mid-air. This was the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape that he had never used since mastering it!


    This skill demonstrated tremendously powerful explosiveness in short distances, akin to teleportation, causing the Yinming Messenger to miss his attack.


    Simultaneously, Chen Mobai spat out the second Green Flames Sword Slaughter, using himself as bait, and finally causing the scorching high-temperature Sword Sha to hit his adversary.


    Enveloped in cyan flames, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse, just like the bull-head, dissolved into drifting ashes amidst struggles.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right; it¡¯s a trick!¡±


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai noticed something was off. He turned around abruptly to sight the sneering sinister fog formed by the Yinming Messenger who had already left Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s body. Like a black snake, it suddenly drilled towards his glabella.


    ¡°Hehe, while I am uncertain how you cultivated, Thunder method, Sword Sha, and Magic Artifacts all wield Third Rank power, but your sense of divine realm is definitely your weakness.¡±


    ¡°I was a Core Formation real person before my transformation into a Ghost Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°Once my raid on your Purple Mansion crashes your divine soul, turning you into my host will compensate for losing four long-embedded chess pieces this time¡­¡±


    ¡°Eh¡­ why is the Sea of Knowledge in your Purple Mansion so robust¡­ Argh¡­¡±


    The Yinming Messenger, who was about to drill into Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Mansion, realized that he seemed to have hit a soft yet resilient barrier and was repelled by a petal of white-green color.


    Chen Mobai did not miss this opportunity. Without any hesitation, his palm¡¯s Yimu Divine Thunder Technique became as bright and clear as flowing water. It carried the most terrifying vitality against Ghost Cultivators and heavily hit the black fog created by the Yinming Messenger, who was repelled by the Dalit Flower.


    Accompanied by a miserable scream from the Yinming Messenger, his originally firm fog began to drastically shrink and was reduced by half in an instant by the Yimu Divine Thunder.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    While the Yinming Messenger was severely injured, the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag which was barely resisting the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror could no longer hold and broke. The Hundred Demons Array also collapsed completely.

    Chen Mobai beckoned, and the Pure Yang Fire flew over, which was also a force of irresistible purity and rigidity against Ghost Cultivators.


    Under the Divine Thunder and the Yang Fire, the Yinming Messenger couldn¡¯t even let out a scream, and in the end, turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing in midair.


    Fearing that his foe might resurrect by occupying another body, Chen Mobai spat out two more Green Flames Sword Slaughter, turning the corpses of Hong Xu and Tong Xiaomei into ashes.


    Then he used the Pure Yang Fire to burn the host body of the Yinming Messenger, who was killed by the Yimu Divine Thunder at the start, into ashes.


    Only then did his heart settle down.

 Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: Chapter 391: Road to Huangquan_1

    Chapter 605: Chapter 391: Road to Huangquan_1


    Looking around, Chen Mobai found a thumb-sized black crystal left by the ghost cultivator, which was burnt by the True Fire but could not melt it.


    Although he didn¡¯t know what it was, he put it into his bag first.


    Then he collected all the storage bags left by Yuan Hongyuan and others, and then landed with satisfaction.


    White Moon Market.


    After a period of chaos, with Chen Mobai ruthlessly killing all the invaders with foundation establishment, order was quickly restored here.


    Of course, there were also many clever Loose Cultivators who had already fled.


    Not long after, several Spiritual Lights came and landed in the market.


    The one leading the way was Bai Dingxian who had escaped earlier. And the six Foundation Establishment cultivators who came with him, Chen Mobai recognized three of them; they were Xie Yuntian from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Sword Training Division, Assistant Division Leader Xi Yisheng, and Fu Huakun from Reward Virtue Hall.


    The other three were another Foundation Establishment individual Bai Qifeng from the Bai family, Luo Jushan from the Luo family and a Foundation Establishment Elder.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, where are the Rogue Cultivators who attacked?¡±


    Seeing some shops destroyed in the White Moon Market, Fu Huakun couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°They have been slain by me.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hearing his words, everyone was greatly surprised.


    ¡°Leader Bai, are you sure there were five Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators?¡±


    Xie Yuntian, the Sword Training Division leader frowned, thinking that Bai Dingxian had exaggerated the number of Rogue Cultivators to get more people from the Divine Wood Sect involved.


    ¡°Absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes! One of them was Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain. I just exchanged Immortal Peach fruit with him for a Rank-3 Spiritual Tea a few days ago. I didn¡¯t expect he had malicious intentions, charging directly at our sect¡¯s Town Guard!¡±


    Bai Dingxian said with a face full of anger.


    At this time, disciples from the Bai family and Divine Wood Sect also came over, and everyone was shocked after confirming the truth of Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°Did Junior Brother Chen condense Sword Demons?¡±


    Xie Yuntian couldn¡¯t help but ask. Facing five opponents alone, even if their realms were inferior to his, he would probably only be able to save his life.


    If he wanted to do as Chen Mobai did, killing five by himself, in his understanding, only by condensing a Green Flames Sword Slaughter, a Rank-3 method, could accomplish this!


    ¡°Yes, I had been closed up for half a year, just to condense the Sword Demons.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that right after I came out, evils came to test the sharpness of my sword.¡±


    ¡°But my sword was quite sharp, and I killed them all.¡±


    The light and understated words of Chen Mobai stunned the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who had just arrived.


    It should be known that one of them was Yuan Hongyuan, a well-known harsh cultivator in Divine Wood Sect and the Bai Family. The Qi Practitioners described that Chen Mobai killed five major Foundation Establishment enemies, and it could even be said that he did it easily, indicating his overwhelming strength.


    ¡°Xi Junior Brother, you go and arrange the Sect Disciples, occupy the Black Cloud Mountain. Don¡¯t leave any of Yuan Family¡¯s remnants.¡±


    After the shock, Xie Yuntian responded and immediately ordered Xi Yisheng next to him, who nodded to Chen Mobai as a greeting before leaving.


    ¡°I will send a message to Fu family and Liang family to deal with the Loose Cultivators¡¯ Alliance. I have long been displeased with this organization. It¡¯s a good opportunity to ruin them.¡±


    Fu Huakun also started speaking. Besides Hong Xu, Jian Country¡¯s Loose Cultivator Alliance had another Foundation Establishment Cultivator. However, after Hong Xu committed such a big thing, this person should also be dealt with.


    ¡°The Tang brothers and sisters are Rogue Cultivators from Snow Country, without relatives and friends. Since they have died under Junior Brother Chen¡¯s sword, it¡¯s considered as retribution. As for the remaining one, do you know where he¡¯s from?¡±


    The custom here in Eastern Wilderness is to pay blood for blood.


    If they dare to kill Chen Mobai, a Divine Wood Sect disciple, they should be prepared for their family¡¯s extermination.


    ¡°This person claimed to be a Ghost Cultivator, wielding a Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, and his cultivation level was profound.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, and still told the truth.


    After all, this person claimed to be a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in his lifetime. With the power of the Divine Wood Sect, they might be able to find out something.


    ¡°A Ghost Cultivator!¡±


    Upon hearing this term, most of the few Foundation Establishment cultivators at the scene were puzzled, seemingly unaware of what it represented.


    Only Fu Huakun and Xie Yuntian¡¯s faces changed drastically, as if it was a forbidden term.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it seems this matter should be reported to the two ancestors.¡±


    Fu Huakun took a deep breath, his expression somber.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why, but he nodded, indicating that there was no problem.


    ¡°Xie Junior Brother, you handle the aftermath here, I¡¯ll take Junior Brother Chen back to Giant Tree Ridge first.¡±


    Xie Yuntian nodded solemnly, immediately took over the power of the Bai and the Divine Wood Sect in the market, and also asked the Luo family from Huanbo Market to send someone to assist.

    Before Chen Mobai left, he waved to his two disciples and told them a few things, then he returned to the Giant Tree Ridge with Fu Huakun.


    Since Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu was on a friendly visit to the Golden Cliff, the normal procedure to see the two ancestors was not feasible.


    But Fu Huakun had a Message Talisman given by Elder Fu which can be used in emergencies.


    In a short time, Chen Mobai saw Fu Zongjue in the Penalty Evil Hall, but he didn¡¯t know if it was his real body or a puppet body.


    Upon hearing the two words ¡°Ghost Cultivator,¡± Fu Zongjue¡¯s face also changed slightly, and without any words, he directly waved his big sleeve, bringing them to Shenmu Hall.

 Chapter 606 - Chapter 606: Chapter 391: Huangquan Road_2

    Chapter 606: Chapter 391: Huangquan Road_2


    Only a moment later, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s figure appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    The two elders of the Divine Wood Sect place far more importance on Ghost Cultivators than Chen Mobai had expected.


    ¡°Tell me about your fight with the Ghost Cultivator,¡± Zhou Shengqing commanded, holding the broken Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. Chen Mobai selectively left out some details, claiming he had used his Rank-3 Magic Artifact, Sword Sha, and his Thunder Method. After several rounds of intense fighting, he had reduced the Ghost Cultivator to ashes with his Pure Yang True Fire.


    ¡°As I thought, those damned ghosts haven¡¯t been wiped out yet.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s account, Zhou Shengqing coldly offered his opinion. Noticing Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion, Zhou Shengqing began to explain some old affairs from their time in the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Our master, Hun Yuan, did not have much life left, but he could have lived another hundred years if he had died of natural causes. However, he encountered a mysterious Netherworld Path. Confident in his skill, he attempted to unravel the mysteries of reincarnation by challenging this path between life and death, only to return heavily injured. He clung to life for a few more years before he died.¡±


    ¡°Before he died, he told us that the Netherworld Path had been occupied by a group of Ghost Cultivators. If not for the extraordinary nature of the Primordial Dao Fruit, he might not have been able to return alive. Fortunately, those powerful Ghost Cultivators couldn¡¯t come to the human world, they could only exist in the area saturated with Huangquan Yin Qi.¡±


    ¡°But just the act of charging through the Netherworld Path punctured the barrier between the Underworld and the world of the living, allowing some Ghost Cultivators to come out with special methods. Before he died, our master directed us to exterminate quite a few Ghost Cultivators, then used his last breath to seal the Netherworld Path.¡±


    ¡°My eldest senior brother died in that battle. After that, I disagreed with my junior behalf on him becoming the Sect Leader, so I collaborated with Mo, another senior brother, and we split from the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing revealed a rare nostalgic look as he spoke. From that point on, his memories weren¡¯t so beautiful.


    Fu Huakun, who was also a disciple of Five Elements Sect at that time, had participated in the battle against the Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators with Fu Zongjue, so he knew something about it.


    ¡°Could the Ghost Cultivator have come from the Netherworld Path?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised after listening to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s account. If even the Elder Hun Yuan could have died from it, then the few Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness would be in grave danger.


    ¡°It¡¯s very likely. However, the Spirit Talisman left by Elder Hun Yuan that can sense the Netherworld Path is in the hands of the Five Elements Sect, and I don¡¯t know what the status of the seal is now.¡±


    Amid Zhou Shengqing¡¯s sigh, he shook the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag in his hand. Pure spiritual power poured in, and in an instant faint images of dismembered fierce ghosts appeared on the surface of the flag, as if they wanted to break free.


    However, because there wasn¡¯t the correct method to cultivate and the Ghost Dao magical instrument was damaged, they didn¡¯t manage to summon the ghosts inside the flag.


    ¡°We¡¯ll need someone to fix this, but I don¡¯t know if it can be repaired.¡±


    Fu Zongjue said after observing the scene. Ghost Dao magical instruments are different from other magical instruments, and regular Instrument Masters would be powerless.


    ¡°Chen, this magical instrument might reveal something about the Netherworld Path. I¡¯ll keep it for now. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said to Chen Mobai, who quickly shook his head, indicating that it was the best if the elder found the flag golden. If it fell into his hands, he reckoned it would just collect dust in a corner.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s your spoils of war. Also, you did a great service to the sect by removing a major threat in our territory. I¡¯ll give you a permit, you can go to the Reward Virtue Hall and collect fifty thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up at Zhou Shengqing¡¯s next words.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to receive so many spirit stones for being ambushed, and he was already thinking about whether he could arrange a few more ambushes.


    After leaving the Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai went straight to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s permit allowed Luo Xue¡¯er to immediately transfer the spirit stones to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sister Luo, fifty thousand spirit stones is way too much. Can I switch them to intermediate-grade or even top-grade spirit stones?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked this when he received the spirit stones, thinking that his Formless Puppet would probably consume one top-grade spirit stone every month if it wanted to cultivate the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    ¡°Chen, based on our relationship, changing the spirit stones to intermediate-grade is not a problem. But, I genuinely can¡¯t do anything about the top-grade spirit stones, they are all in the hands of the elders.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er, aware that Chen Mobai is young, explained to him.


    ¡°Oh, why is that? Are top-grade spirit stones more valuable?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s correct. When one reaches the realm of cultivation as the two old ancestors, the spiritual objects they wish to purchase or exchange are traditionally traded using high-grade spirit stones. For example, rank-3 spirit rice, rank-3 magic artifacts, elixirs and so on. Furthermore, in the Eastern Wilderness, our Divine Wood Sect is willing to pay a 10% premium to exchange for high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    This implies that 11,000 lower-grade spirit stones are needed to exchange for one high-grade spirit stone.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai asked for more details about this exchange.


    ¡°The exchange for high-grade spirit stones by our Divine Wood Sect is relatively restrained, as we have our own spirit stone mine and are able to mine some every year from the core veins.¡±


    ¡°However, loose cultivator families and second-rate sects are willing to pay a high price to purchase the Foundation Building Pills from the big business groups. A single high-grade spirit stone going through their hands for exchange may require a premium of more than 10%.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no choice as if one wishes to participate in the auction for Foundation Building Pills in the Eastern Yi Territory, it is required by all large business groups to use high-grade spirit stones. A few years ago, the Bai family from Snow Peak took advantage of the high demand for Tea Pills, accumulated some high-grade spirit stones, and successfully bid for a Foundation Building Pill from the Xuan Xiao Big Business Group. Nowadays, all big families are following suit and have begun hoarding high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    Having heard Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai thought of the moment at the White Moon Market when Bai Dingxian brought out a high-grade spirit stone to forcibly activate the defense formation, and his face showed a look of realization.


    After leaving the Reward Virtue Hall, he returned to his own Xiao Nanshan.


    Zhuo Ming found it odd that only Chen Mobai came back, but she dared not ask about it.


    ¡°Wen Bo and the others are helping the teacher to rent store fronts in various markets in Jian Country. You should sort out the inventory of spiritual wine, spirit rice, and talisman paper.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want Zhuo Ming to worry, so he left these words and began to sort out what he had acquired this time at the top of the mountain.


    First of all, there was the storage bag of the ghost cultivator who was said to have formed a Golden Core. It was a dull gray bag that was completely unremarkable.


    Then Chen Mobai encountered the same situation as when he obtained his first storage bag.


    He couldn¡¯t open it!


    It seemed that this ghost cultivator did not lie, he might have been a Golden Core cultivator in his lifetime whose realm of divine consciousness was higher than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    However, the current Chen Mobai had gained much more insight than when he was just starting his Qi cultivation. While studying at the Dance Tool Dao Academy in recent years, he had learned many ways to open this storage bag even when his realm of divine consciousness was inferior.


    The simplest way was to use a talisman known as ¡°Space Talisman¡± from the immortal sect.


    The reason why he knew the talisman was because Wu Shangru had used it once when transferring the talisman paper and ink machines from the Flying Sky Talisman Factory to Chen Mobai.


    Because these machines were custom-made and needed a key with Wu Shangru¡¯s divine consciousness fluctuations to start, after the factory was transferred, the ¡°Space Talisman¡± was used to reformat the machines and the key, and match them with Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    What was erased in this process was the traces of divine consciousness frequency.


    Chen Mobai wanted to buy one to directly unlock the storage bag, but because the Space Talisman had extraordinary functions, only registered merchants at the immortal sect¡¯s law enforcement branch could sell it, and the purpose and reasons needed to be stated when purchasing.


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to learn it himself in order to avoid exposure.


    After all, he is now a rank-2 talisman maker, and the storage bag was in his hands, so there was no rush.


    Fortunately, aside from the storage bag of this ghost cultivator, the realms of divine consciousness of Yuan Hongyuan and the other four were inferior to Chen Mobai¡¯s, so he quickly integrated them easily.


    First, Chen Mobai emptied the storage bags of the Tang siblings and found out that Tang Da¡¯s storage bag was empty. However, Tang¡¯s younger sister¡¯s bag contained quite a number of items.


    Opening his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai quickly found his targets.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A piece of Soul Nourishing Wood.


    And an Immortal Peach Fruit.


    With a smile on his face, Chen Mobai then emptied Hong Xu¡¯s storage bag; spirit stones clattered down and piled up into a small mountain next to him, along with more than a dozen different cultivation doctrine books.


    The two pill recipes had been bought out by Star Heaven Big Business Group, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t find them in the bag.


    Finally, Chen Mobai emptied Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag.

 Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: Chapter 392 Huge Harvest_1

    Chapter 607: Chapter 392 Huge Harvest_1


    Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag indeed contained many valuable items.


    The first thing that caught Chen Mobai¡¯s eye was naturally the six Immortal Peach Fruits. He excitedly took the soft white and delicate fruits out and onto his palm. After carefully examining them for a while, he noticed something amiss.


    Out of the six Immortal Peach Fruits, only three were fully ripe, and the other three were still green-skinned.


    It seems that Yuan Hongyuan knew he would not be able to return to Black Cloud Mountain anytime soon after this ambush, so he picked all the fruits from the Immortal Peach Tree.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai happily set aside the three ripe Immortal Peach Fruits, planning to eat them immediately after handling his current affairs.


    Although the other three green-skinned Immortal Peach Fruits were not ripe, they were still valuable spiritual objects.


    Chen Mobai planned to let Zhuo Ming use them to brew some alcohol to see if another Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could be produced.


    Besides the Immortal Peach Fruits, Chen Mobai also saw the items Yuan Hongyuan had exchanged at the Fang Market.


    The Beast Spirit Egg obtained from Liang Jinggui, along with the Open-spirit Pill and Blood Qi-pill for nurturing the Qinghong Bird¡­


    However, what drew the attention of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was a palm-sized wooden box.


    There was a delicate prohibition on the wooden box, which appeared to be used for sealing spiritual energy.


    Upon opening the box, it was packed full with tea leaves that shone bright as gems.


    Snow Needle Immortal Bud!


    Chen Mobai recognized it immediately since he had drunk it recently at Yue Zutao¡¯s.


    He weighed the wooden box in his hand and estimated that there were about two pounds of Snow Needle Immortal Bud inside. If he consumed it conservatively, it should last about half a year.


    Perfect timing, as his divine sense had been stagnating for some time now. The last time he drank this tea, he could subtly sense its effects.


    He hoped that consuming these two pounds of Snow Needle Immortal Bud would help overcome this bottleneck.


    Apart from the Immortal Peach Fruits and Snow Needle Immortal Bud, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag also contained nearly thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    It was just a pity that Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s five flag Magic Artifacts had been detonated by the Ghost Cultivator to stimulate the Large Formation. Otherwise, this set of upper Rank-2 formation artifacts would also have been very valuable.


    In addition to these items, Chen Mobai also found several books.


    A book about the Black Cloud Wave Technique was quite interesting. It could be cultivated until the medium-stage of the Foundation Establishment. While it is exceptionally precious for other cultivators, it doesn¡¯t hold much utility for him.


    After a rough estimation, just the spiritual objects of Yuan Hongyuan alone were equivalent to a quantity of seventy to eighty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    If the contents of the other three storage bags were added, this ¡®storage bag looting¡¯ would ultimately enrich Chen Mobai¡¯s assets with over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    After finishing the inventory, such massive wealth made even the normally calm Chen Mobai¡¯s heart pound uncontrollably.


    He finally understood why the practice of robbing was so common in the Tianhe Realm.


    No one goes poor by accepting gifts, just like no horse gets fat without night feeding.


    From this haul, Chen Mobai felt that he had accumulated enough resources to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Nevertheless, he remained rational.


    After finishing the inventory, Chen Mobai classified and put away all the loot.


    The most precious of all was undoubtedly the Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Next, he picked up the Immortal Peach Fruit given by the Tang siblings and set it aside. Although eating four Immortal Peach Fruits felt a little wasteful, not eating them felt even worse.Update by n0vgo.c0


    Then, the more than fifty thousand Spirit Stones obtained from all the storage bags, with Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu contributing the most, and the Tang siblings not even accounting for their spare change.


    Among these, some were intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, which Chen Mobai stacked together, wondering if he could find a way to exchange them all for higher-grade stones in the future.


    There were also four Rank-2 Magic Artifacts, which Chen Mobai didn¡¯t fancy. However, they could be given to his disciples in the future or gifted to friends.


    Finally, there were all sorts of miscellaneous books, medicinal pills, and other items.


    To him, these items were of no use.


    Later, he planned to present them to the Transfer Department to see if he could exchange them for some contribution points. If the sect already had them, he¡¯d just make a few more copies and sell them at the South Mountain Shop.


    After deciding on how to deal with the useless spoils of war, Chen Mobai contentedly picked up a ripe Immortal Peach Fruit and ate it directly.


    The natural spiritual objects were indeed different. They melted in the mouth and turned into a spiritual liquid that was of a much higher grade than regular spiritual energy. This spiritual liquid was exceptionally mild and was readily absorbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s meridians and internal organs, yet it did not immediately transform into Liquid Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to operate the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Natural energy from Xiao Nanshan¡¯s peak was refined and infused into his body under the guidance of his divine sense.


    The effect of the Immortal Peach Fruit also began to take effect.


    Before, several Grand Circulations were needed to refine external spiritual energy into Pure Yang Spiritual Power. After a hard day¡¯s meditation, probably only one strand of spiritual power could be cultivated. However, now under the harmonization of the Immortal Peach Fruit¡¯s spiritual liquid, a drop of purest Liquid Spiritual Power was directly transformed in one Grand Circulation.

    But with this, the consumption of the spiritual energy was naturally much more significant.


    Chen Mobai felt that the spiritual energy atop Xiao Nanshan¡¯s peak seemed to be inadequate, as a drop of Liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power was formed in his Dantian Qi Sea after just a few breaths¡¯ time.


    There was no choice but to retrieve the original ore Spirit Stone he had treasured for a long time.


    This was because not even intermediate-grade Spirit Stones could withstand his current rate of absorption and refining.


    Chen Mobai placed his right hand on the original ore Spirit Stone shaped like a White Jade Altar obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge. In an instant, a vast and profound pristine spiritual energy poured into his body like a floodgate had been opened.

 Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: Chapter 392 Massive Harvest_2

    Chapter 608: Chapter 392 Massive Harvest_2


    If it were not for the strengthening of his right hand¡¯s fingers, muscles, bones, and skin from the treatment of a Rank-3 medicinal unguent, he might not have been able to withstand such impact.


    With ample Spiritual Energy, Chen Mobai could finally meditate at ease.


    ¡°Has Master not finished his retreat yet?¡±


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, Luo Yixuan, who had already returned, looked at the dense spiritual energy gathering at the top of the mountain, approximately forming a long white fog-like dragon, and somewhat helplessly asked Zhuo Ming beside her.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Master¡¯s one and a half years retreat a halfway normal occurrence?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, inspected the growth of the Spirit Rice plants in the Spirit Field. Meanwhile, she spoke in a normal tone.


    ¡°Bai Dingxian, the head of the Bai family, has been waiting in Divine Wood City for more than half a month. A few days ago, when the Sect Leader returned, he summoned me to inquire about the affairs of the White Moon Market,¡± Luo Yixuan said with a sigh.


    The incident of the Divine Wood Sect disciple being ambushed in the Fang Market within Jian Country naturally was incumbent on the Bai family, which managed the White Moon Market.


    Over the past decades, the Bai family has profited from the backing of the Divine Wood Sect. Their tea pills were in high demand in nearby countries. They even had enough financial capacity to bid on Foundation Building Pills within the Eastern Yi Territory, which aroused the envy of others.


    After Chen Mobai was ambushed, many forces within the Divine Wood Sect were stirring, pondering whether to revoke the Bai family¡¯s managerial authority over the White Moon Market.


    Bai Dingxian personally ran up and down the Giant Tree Ridge. Thankfully, the Snow Needle Immortal Buds that were given to his two elders also contributed. After some effort to reconcile with those above and below him, the matter was basically settled.


    In the end, Chu Zuoshu expressed that as long as Chen Mobai did not pursue the matter, it would be considered settled.


    Regrettably, Bai Dingxian arrived late. Chen Mobai had already begun his retreat to refine the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits. However, the former didn¡¯t dare to leave and could only wait in Divine Wood City.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan had long since been taken care of by Bai Dingxian.


    He didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for them. He just asked them to inform him when Chen Mobai was out of his retreat, at which time he would promptly arrive to admit his faults.


    ¡°This type of Fire Spirit Rice matures early and doesn¡¯t require much in terms of Spiritual Energy. It can be harvested twice in a year, and it will be ready for harvesting in a couple of days.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, engrossed in farming, knew that Liu Wenbo had already moved half of the Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine stored in the warehouse from previous years to the newly opened South Mountain Shop in the five major markets of Jian Country.


    The emptiness of the warehouse and wine cellar gave her an unsettling feeling.


    That¡¯s why she has been busy harvesting some early maturing Spirit Rice crops in order to stock up her inventory.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, I¡¯ll help you harvest when the time comes¡­¡±


    As the two sisters were having a conversation at the foot of the mountain, Chen Mobai, who was on top of the mountain, suddenly opened his eyes.


    After the crystalline brilliance vanished from his pupils, he stood up, full of vigor.


    Unexpectedly, the effect of consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit was excellent. After consecutively refining the spiritual power of four peach fruits, he broke through two ranks. His Pure Yang Scroll progressed from the Foundation Establishment third stage to the Foundation Establishment fifth stage, and now he had a total of 90 drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his body.


    It was just a pity that by the time he had consumed the fourth fruit, the effect of the Immortal Peach Spirit Liquid was no longer of much use to him.


    If that wasn¡¯t the case, Chen Mobai wanted to consume those three green-skinned Immortal Peaches as well.


    While getting used to his increased spiritual power, he examined the content on the message talismans that flew in after he ended his retreat.


    ¡°Come up and see me!¡±


    At the foot of the mountain, the faces of Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan lit up when they heard Chen Mobai¡¯s voice transmission.


    ¡°How has the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain been dealt with?¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Master, most of the core disciples of the Yuan family have already fled the area controlled by the Divine Wood Sect. However, the sect has issued a killing order against them.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, acting as Chen Mobai¡¯s spokesperson within the sect, was naturally very concerned about the aftermath of the White Moon Market ambush incident. When Chen Mobai asked, she promptly answered.


    ¡°What about that Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree?¡±


    This was the most precious item of the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain. Particularly after experiencing the effect of the Immortal Peach Spirit Liquid, even Chen Mobai was somewhat tempted.


    ¡°Two mentors from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Department of Spirit Plants personally went to the Black Cloud Mountain. They expressed that they have no absolute guarantee to transplant the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree to the Giant Tree Ridge. Thus, the Sect Leader¡¯s decision is to establish the Black Cloud Mountain as a branch of the Divine Wood Sect and specifically assign disciples to guard the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree and several dozen acres of Spirit Fields associated with the Yuan family.¡±


    This is akin to using a legitimate excuse to swallow up the property of the Yuan family.


    However, transplanting a Rank-3 Spirit Tree is indeed an extremely dangerous task.


    To transplant a Vermilion Fruit Tree, Chen Mobai had to exhaust all his efforts and even enlisted the help of Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran before he could be sure of succeeding.


    When transplanting Spirit Trees, one must take into consideration geological veins, water elements, spiritual energy, and even factors such as atmospheric conditions, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.


    The higher the rank of the Spirit Wood, the more difficult the transplantation process is.


    For example, no second spiritual land can be found on the entire Earth Element Star that can sustain the growth of the Big Tree, which is the number one Spirit Plant in the immortal gate.


    The same is true for the Rank-5 Vermilion Fruit Tree in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Once these spirit trees are transplanted, not only do they struggle to survive, but the grade of the spiritual energy suppressed by them originally will also drop and suffer damage, possibly even causing fluctuations in the earth¡¯s crust, plate vibrations leading to extremely severe consequences.


    However, despite not being able to transplant the Big Peach Tree over, planting some small peach trees should not be a problem.


    ¡°Ming, take these four fruit cores and plant them on the hillside to see if we can grow an Immortal Peach Forest in a few years.¡±


    Zhuo Ming promptly took the four fruit cores that Chen Mobai handed over.


    ¡°There are also three green-skinned Immortal Peaches here. Find Sister Yan and make some Green Peach Wine with Spirit Rice.¡±


    After turning over the things to Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan, who had her eyes glued on the green-skinned immortal peach, about the situation of the Loose Repair Alliance.


    Luo Yixuan, regaining her senses, instantly reported that another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the organization had already been slain by Xie Yuntian.


    Now, no one within the territory of the Divine Wood Sect dares to call themselves a cultivator of the Loose Repair Alliance.


    In other words, there are essentially no remaining enemies for Chen Mobai to personally take revenge on.


    What a pity, his cultivation level had just improved and he had been looking forward to testing if his sword had also become sharper!


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s regretful expression, Luo Yixuan finally talked about the Bai family¡¯s situation.


    She roughly said Chu Zuoshu¡¯s opinion that a slight punishment should be enough since the Divine Wood Sect just annexed Black Cloud Mountain and, combined with the Yuan family¡¯s shops in various markets, already posed a threat to the security of other immortal cultivation families.


    If they suppressed the Bai family of Snow Peak further, then it would likely lead to disunity among the immortal cultivation families within the Four Nations Territory.


    ¡°I see, if I have time tomorrow, let¡¯s meet this Bai Dingxian.¡±


    Hearing those words, Luo Yixuan immediately made a trip to Divine Wood City.


    ¡°Town Guard, thanks to your amazing cultivation, White Moon Market remained intact. I don¡¯t know how to thank you. All I can do is offer you these humble gifts. Please accept them.¡±


    Bai Dingxian paid a visit to Xiao Nanshan and, without any pretensions, immediately gifted three items.


    The first was a branch of Snow Needle Immortal Bud tea seeds. In order to avoid unsuccessful planting, he also sent ten Rank-2 tea seeds and ten Rank-1 tea seeds.


    The second was a Rank-2 spiritual medicine called ¡°Jade Tea Pill,¡± which was unique to the Bai family. It¡¯s very popular among Foundation Establishment cultivators and is a rare pill that can enhance one¡¯s Divine Sense.


    Seeing the main ingredient of the pill being Snow Needle Immortal Bud, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the wastefulness.


    The third gift was an unremarkable total of ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°As the Guard of Jian Country, it is my duty and responsibility to safeguard all markets within Jian Country, protect cultivation families and all loose cultivators. It would be improper for me to accept these gifts.¡±


    If it were before, Chen Mobai would be very excited about these things. But having obtained a great harvest just a moment ago, he felt that what Bai Dingxian brought was rather plain.


    ¡°¡­ Lord Guard, I am a straightforward person. You can just name a price, and as long as our Bai family can afford it, we will undoubtedly offer it.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Bai Dingxian, experienced and cunning as he is, patted his chest and said something that made Chen Mobai feel a little embarrassed.


    It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to extort, it¡¯s just that he currently lacked top-quality spirit stones and he thought that the Bai family seemed to have saved quite a few.


    ¡°I might have to leave the Eastern Wilderness for a while and travel to other territories of the Eastern Region. But I¡¯m lacking in top-notch spirit stones. I heard the Bai family is wealthy. Could you help me exchange the spirit stones on hand for top-notch ones? We can go with market price plus twenty percent.¡±


    Although Bai Dingxian wore a pained expression on his face, he knew that without the protection of the Divine Wood Sect, the Bai family absolutely couldn¡¯t flourish. And the man in front of him, as long as he doesn¡¯t die prematurely, has a promising future, possibly even reaching the Core Formation stage. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to make a choice.


    ¡°May I know how many you want to exchange? I¡¯m afraid what the Bai family has accumulated might not be enough!¡±

 Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_1

    Chapter 609: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_1


    The Bai family is indeed the wealthiest cultivation immortal family in Jian Country.


    Chen Mobai, looking at the ten transparent, extraordinary high-grade Spirit Stones in his storage bag, finally felt relieved regarding one matter.


    With these, at least the energy source needed for the Armor of Nothingness to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi would suffice for this year.


    However, Bai Dingxian also revealed that this was all the Bai family had.


    He further suggested, if Chen Mobai needed more high-grade Spirit Stones in future, he should go to the Eastern Yi Territory. Large-scale Spirit Stone Mines over there meant high-grade Spirit Stones were not as precious as they are in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai agreed verbally but committed himself to not leave the Eastern Wilderness until he reached the Core Formation stage. Ideally, he wouldn¡¯t even step outside the confines of Divine Wood Sect.


    The ambush at the White Moon Market didn¡¯t threaten him this time, even turning into a boon for him, but that was because the enemies didn¡¯t know of his rapid progress.


    If he didn¡¯t happen upon the opportunity provided by the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would have been just an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator. Yuan Hongyuan and his four companions could easily have killed him multiple times.


    He had become too comfortable in recent years.


    He had forgotten his early lessons from the Southstream Market, where he was almost killed by the South Mountain Thieves. He needed to recall those times and learn from them.


    As Chen Mobai reflected on this, his hand dabbed the slim Talisman Brush with ink, and he marked the last Spiritual Pattern on the Space Talisman placed on the table.


    The moment his brush stroke landed, the originally unremarkable talisman paper instantly lit up with the twinkling of pattern lines, like electricity flowing through a newly activated circuit, looking absolutely splendid in the cabin.


    It was a pity that no one else could witness his exquisite talisman-making technique, mainly because the Space Talismans were from the Celestial Sect, and it was inappropriate to let Zhuo Ming know about this.


    Usually, when Chen Mobai painted talismans, he always called Zhuo Ming over to learn by watching his refined skills under the pretext of grinding ink. This was his way of teaching her both verbally and practically.


    Zhuo Ming felt overwhelmingly grateful for this.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it was extraordinarily rare to find a master like Chen Mobai who was willing to patiently teach with hands-on guidance.


    Most people, after becoming disciples, were made to work hard for a few years before their loyalty and merit could be recognized by their masters. Then they would be allowed to handle the most basic talisman paper or learn the basics of talisman ink making.


    Having access to extensive knowledge of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal right from the beginning was a privilege reserved for designated successors or blood relatives.


    Yet, even in such cases, the masters only guided them until the door; for further progress and learning, disciples were left to their own devices.


    As for a Master as patient as Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming felt that she must have worshipped her ancestors continuously for a lifetime to merit his guidance in this life.


    Therefore, every time Chen Mobai painted talismans and asked her to grind ink or pass him the brush, Zhuo Ming considered it a great honor.


    Not just her, Luo Yixuan also envied this privilege and was recently working hard to master the art of talisman-making. She hoped to replace Zhuo Ming as the designated disciple at Chen Mobai¡¯s side helping him prepare calligraphy.


    Too bad her talent in talisman-making was mediocre at best; it appeared she had little hope.


    Chen Mobai, naturally unaware of his young apprentice¡¯s intentions, praised her for finding something to keep herself busy whilst waiting for the Foundation Building Pills after reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    Space Talismans were extremely simple to use. Once activated, they could erase divine sense traces left on any object.


    Having seen Wu Shangru use it once before, Chen Mobai understood it clearly.


    After a wisp of cyan smoke, the storage bag of the Core Formation Ghost Cultivator was completely accessible to him.


    Filled with anticipation, Chen Mobai gently tipped the bag over.


    With a ¡°thud,¡± the Lotus Lamp that he was so familiar with fell onto the wooden table, making a dull sound.


    ¡°So it was actually bought by him.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback, he reached into his storage bag, pulled out the Multicolored Lotus Lamp, placed it on the stand, and tested it. It was indeed a perfect match.


    He placed the Lotus Lamp on the stand, and as it was touched by the twinkling multicolored light, it seemed as though its extinguished wick lit up. The nature of the magical artifact merged the two separated parts seamlessly.


    After approximately the time it would take to brew a cup of tea, the multicolored light died down.


    Chen Mobai lifted the united Multicolored Lotus Lamp and began to appraise it based on the treasure appraisal skills he learned the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After much effort, Chen Mobai had to reluctantly put down the Multicolored Lotus Lamp around noon.


    This magical artifact was indeed Rank-3, but it seemed to be a Ghost Dao magical instrument. He could do nothing but barely determine that without igniting the wick, this artifact would provide protection to the user¡¯s spirit.


    However, having seen Flying Ming Daoist control an incomplete Multicolored Lotus Lamp was impressive at Lonely Spirit Ridge in the past, so he was greatly looking forward to igniting the wick.


    But this magical artifact can¡¯t be used carefreely in front of the Celestial Sect, so he needs to figure it out on his own.

    Thinking about this, Chen Mobai turned his attention back to the Ghost Cultivator¡¯s storage bag.


    In addition to more than a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, there were many bones of different colors that appeared to have been refined using a Secret Technique. He had no clue if these were the ingredients for a certain magical artifact.


    Chen Mobai was not interested in these, so he piled them on the side of the table.


    He picked up the final item.


    This was a black leather book with the twisted words ¡°Art of Rebirth in the Underworld¡± embossed on the cover.

 Chapter 610 - Chapter 610: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_2

    Chapter 610: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_2


    Chen Mobai, who was interested in the techniques of ghost cultivators, began to read.


    As he did, his expression became somewhat strange.


    It turned out that only a ghost cultivator in the Golden Core Realm could cultivate this technique. After completion, if it was used, it required the integration of one¡¯s essence into a Soul Nourishing Wood, giving birth to a type of spiritual object called the Huangquan Holy Fruit.


    The effects of this Huangquan Holy Fruit were almost identical to the Tree Fruit that Chen Mobai had taken.


    Both could allow a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage to unconditionally break through a realm. However, after consumption, one would become a body of Rebirth in the Underworld. As long as the cultivator who refined the Huangquan Holy Fruit wished, they could possess and parasitize the victim at any time and place.


    But this was not the most powerful aspect of the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld.


    If the Ghost Fetus in the Womb, who underwent the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld, fully consumed all three sizes of Huangquan Holy Fruit, the reborn ghost cultivator could instantly condense a Ghost Pill.


    The Ghost Pill was equivalent to entering the Core Formation stage!


    This was the purpose of the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld, allowing ghost cultivators above the Golden Core Realm to descend from the underworld into the realm of the living.


    And the cultivators who consumed the Huangquan Holy Fruit were known as a Ghost Fetus in the Womb in the underworld!


    After reading all of this, Chen Mobai felt that he could not hide this book and went straight to Shenmu Hall to see Chu Zuoshu. The latter, after listening, immediately handed the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡±


    After finished reading, Zhou Shengqing slightly surprised, and finally understood why the ghost cultivators of the Huangquan Road could descend to the mortal world.


    ¡°Now we just hope that there aren¡¯t many ghost cultivators in the Golden Core stage hiding in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu said solemnly. Although the Ghost Pill cultivators after their reincarnation were in essence not as strong as the real Gold Core cultivators, and because of the limits of Yang world, their cultivation level would also be weakened, they were still of the Golden Core level, and more than enough to deal with those at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    And if the stronger ghost cultivators in Huangquan Road wanted to come out, the Five Elements Sect that originally sealed them would definitely be the primary target.


    They didn¡¯t understand why they weren¡¯t targeting the Five Elements Sect, but their own Divine Wood Sect instead.


    ¡°Next, let the disciples in our Sect increase their vigilance. Those damn ghost guys are willing to show up, so they will definitely take further action. What I fear the most is them mixing with our enemies from Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words fell, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.


    You should know that they, the Divine Wood Sect, just had a battle with Shake Mountain Peak, and Ji Zhenshi, if knowing that Divine Wood Sect had such an enemy, he would definitely be eager to cooperate with the ghost cultivators.


    ¡°Yes, old ancestor, but recently, Brother Meng¡¯s formation of the Gold Core has been getting more and more intense. I¡¯m worried that the enemy will take this opportunity to make trouble.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took the opportunity to report another matter.


    ¡°With both of us here, plus the Large Formation of Giant Tree Ridge, unless the other six major sects of the Eastern Wilderness all come out together, there is nothing to worry about.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing confidently said.


    ¡°The chance to form a Gold Core is rare. Let all the disciples who have hope of forming a Gold Core come back and see if they can understand something.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was on the side, opened his mouth, and Chu Zuoshu nodded.


    Fu Zongjue was referring to the senior disciples in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the Sect, as well as talented disciples like Chen Mobai.


    But Chu Zuoshu, who could sit in the Sect Leader position, was a clever man and naturally knew who Fu Old Ancestor was referring to.


    ¡°I will issue the Sect Leader¡¯s decree and let Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun come back to the sect.¡±


    Among the young generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, these three were always leading the group before Chen Mobai emerged.


    Among them, after Hong He reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he became a disciple of Fu Zongjue, and was considered the next successor of the Penalty Evil Hall.


    Fu Zongjue was speaking specifically to have Hong He come back so that he would not miss the vision of Meng Hong¡¯s formation of the Gold Core.


    Even if he just watched it, it would be a great opportunity for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Because forming a Gold Core was just too difficult here in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among the next generation of the Divine Wood Sect, Hong He and Zhou Wangshen were the most promising Gold Core seeds looked upon by the two old ancestors. But if Zhou Wangshen was not a descendant of Zhou Shengqing, he would actually not be worthy to be on par with Hong He.


    With a genius like Hong He falling into the Divine Wood Sect, it seemed that heaven wanted to make them flourish.


    What made Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue even happier was that besides Hong He, there was also a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, and even an unparalleled cutting talent like Chen Mobai.


    These three people, even if they were placed within the Eastern Yi Territory, were still the top talents.


    If they could reach Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect returning to the Five Elements Sects wouldn¡¯t be a vain hope.


    Am I finally going to meet Hong He?


    Chen Mobai was full of anticipation.


    This person, who had subdued all the Qi Cultivation disciples of Divine Wood Sect before him, was someone he had long admired.


    However, after Hong He reached Foundation Establishment, he took up the role of Town Guard in the Rain Country.


    Although both E Yun and Hong He bordered Yunmeng Great Marsh, unlike the former who often found opportunities to come back, the latter wouldn¡¯t leave Rain Country a single step unless the sect summoned him.


    The task of notifying them fell upon Yuan Chiye.


    As a true disciple from the same batch as Hong He and the others, Yuan Chiye got along well with them.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, I can¡¯t even get a sense of your Cultivation Realm anymore.¡±


    Before he left, Yuan Chiye came to Chen Mobai for a drink, expressing this sentimentfully.


    ¡°There¡¯s been a slight improvement, but I believe senior brother Yuan will catch up soon.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took Chen Mobai¡¯s polite words with a grain of salt. Soon, Yue Zutao also arrived. The three of them chatted about recent events within the sect as they drank.


    ¡°Senior sister Yin has reached Foundation Establishment, are you aware, junior brother Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Senior sister Yin? Which one¡­ you mean Yin Qingmei!¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect had a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator; Chen Mobai knew this even before he joined the sect.


    He had met Yin Qingmei too.


    Back when he was at Southstream Market, Yuan Chiye and Yin Qingmei had come together to recruit new disciples. Pretending to be ¡°Ding Ying¡±, Chen Mobai owed her a small favor.


    If it wasn¡¯t for her finding the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai, who had just escaped from the South Mountain Thieves, had been prepared to cross Yun Country and Jian Country to arrive at Giant Tree Ridge and request discipleship.


    ¡°She just turned twenty, indeed worthy of her Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye wasn¡¯t too old, his sentimentality increased. After reaching Foundation Establishment, he began to realize how average his aptitude was, and even reaching Foundation Establishment was considered extremely fortunate.


    The main reason was he often interacted with top talents of the Divine Wood Sect like Chen Mobai, so the comparisons made him feel slightly mediocre.


    ¡°The Sect Leader asked me to deliver the Foundation Establishment disciple¡¯s uniform and token to senior sister Yin, so I guess it must be her who¡¯s reached Foundation Establishment. Aren¡¯t you on good terms with her?¡±


    With his status rising as the direct disciple of Chu Zuoshu and his cultivation sealed with some time, Yue Zutao had already begun to assume some actual power within the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°We¡¯ve lost contact in recent years.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said somewhat awkwardly. He and Yin Qingmei were from the same town, so they got along well at first. But as they reached Foundation Establishment, they gradually lost touch, partly due to Yin Qingmei being protected, and partly because time seemed to fly faster for those with higher cultivation levels.


    Unconsciously, they hadn¡¯t been in contact for a long time.


    ¡°Senior sister Yin is planning a small celebration party, but it should be after junior brother Hong He returns. You should use this time to prepare a small gift.¡±


    Yue Zutao indirectly gave Yuan Chiye a hint; Chen Mobai was all confused.


    The next day.


    As Chen Mobai was about to go back to Xiao Nanshan, Yin Qingmei¡¯s invitation had already arrived at his residence.


    ¡°I will definitely be there.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded to the Qi cultivation disciple who delivered the invitation in front of him. The latter sighed in relief, bade goodbye, and left.


    ¡°Xuan, what kind of gift should your master prepare?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai put down the invitation and asked Luo Yixuan, who was standing next to him.


    Yin Qingmei had done him a favor and she had a Heavenly Spiritual Root with a promising future. If the gift was too light, he would feel bad about it. But if the gift was too heavy, Yin Qingmei might not accept it either.


    ¡°Master, I heard that senior uncle Yin has a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root. Didn¡¯t you acquire a piece of Pure Bamboo during the auction? I think it would be a great gift.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was thoughtful; her words immediately resolved Chen Mobai¡¯s worry.


    This piece of Pure Bamboo was Rank-2 and was also a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Clan¡¯s (Empty) Mulberry Valley. It was absolutely suitable as a gift for Yin Qingmei, who was a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root cultivator.

 Chapter 611 - Chapter 611: Chapter 394 New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_1

    Chapter 611: Chapter 394 New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_1


    Speaking of Pure Bamboo, Chen Mobai was reminded of several other things he had won at the auction.


    He had integrated the Lung Gold Qi into his Five Elements Sword Finger. As for the Five Elements Ore, which was a gift for his sister, it was still stored in his storage bag.


    The remaining items were an iron bead and a piece of beast skin, both of which were decoys for acquiring the lamp stand.


    After examining the iron bead with his treasure appraisal knowledge, Chen Mobai concluded it was a part of a magic artifact, possibly a bullet for a slingshot. However, all of its prohibitions and energy had been expended, leaving it virtually useless despite some lingering spiritual essence.


    The beast skin probably belonged to an unknown Rank-2 Demonic beast. It bore some innate markings. The auction had claimed that if cultivators could understand these markings, they could master the Divine Skills of the beast¡¯s bloodline, but Chen Mobai thought this was nonsense.


    Believing he lacked such high talent, after examining the beast skin, he casually handed it over to Luo Yixuan who was standing nearby.


    ¡°You can ask the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to post a task for the Artifact Refiner Department to refine this into an inner armor. The quality of this skin is quite good. If made into a Defensive Magic Weapon, it would be more than sufficient for the Qi Cultivation stage.¡±


    Luo Yixuan happily accepted it. She was indeed in need of a powerful Defensive Magic Weapon.


    ¡°By the way, Master, Brother Liu sent a message saying that more than half of the 20,000 talismans you gave him have been sold. What should we do next? Do we risk running out of stock, or should we increase the price?¡±


    Liu Wenbo has been busy managing the South Mountain Shop in Jian Country¡¯s five Fang Markets. This had made Chen Mobai¡¯s shop well-known among the loose cultivators with a little bit of Realm.


    They were drawn in out of curiosity and discovered that the South Mountain talismans were far superior to those available elsewhere in the Eastern Wilderness. And yet, they were priced the same.


    As a result, within just half a month, these ¡°South Mountain Talismans¡± had completely flooded the market.


    Furthermore, many talisman shops had approached them for a partnership, asking if they could supply talismans of this quality, or even if they could exclusively buy out their stock.


    ¡°Keep the prices unchanged. Just tell Wen Bo to pick up the stock,¡± Chen Mobai said casually. In the puppet factory of the Celestial Sect, he could produce 10,000 talismans per day.


    Since he had been away touring Jian Country¡¯s five Fang Markets for over a month, in theory, he should have accumulated nearly 400,000 talismans.


    If these were all sold in the Eastern Wilderness, they could be exchanged for more than 30,000 Lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Despite the enormous wealth he won by killing Yuan Hongyuan and others, Chen Mobai well understood that trading was the most regular way to accumulate wealth.


    After all, trading earned Spirit Stones every day, while there were not opportunities to kill and rob every day!


    However, on his return to the puppet factory to retrieve talismans, Chen Mobai noticed a small problem.


    The puppets in his factory had been operating 24 hours a day. As many of the materials were made of wood, the damage rate was quite high.


    Although he had anticipated this issue and had Chai Lun assist in creating two puppets solely for repairs, they could only handle simple parts replacement.


    Issues involving core chips or fine-tuned joint parts still required him to handle personally.


    During Chen Mobai¡¯s absence, six puppets in the factory had broken down, causing a slight decrease in the talisman production efficiency.


    ¡°It seems best to leave a puppet of mine in the factory,¡± Chen Mobai thought while repairing a puppet.


    Initially, after the battle between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak had just concluded, Chen Mobai had been inspired by Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body. He had also wanted to divide his mind into thoughts and separate the Puppet Void Idol from his actual body, holding both the Celestial Gate and the Tianhe Realm.


    However, due to the separation of the two realms and his own low Realm, his physical body had difficulty bearing it.


    Since he now had a section of Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood, he thought he might as well put it to use.


    After completing the repairs, Chen Mobai began to experiment.


    Soul Nourishing Wood was also a rare treasure in nature. It had appeared a few times in the Eastern Wasteland, so the Divine Wood Sect had related information.


    Chen Mobai removed his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, letting his long, flowing hair fall. Under his Divine Sense, his hair transformed into black whip lashing out and sweeping up the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Afterward, he felt a wave of invisible serenity descending from the Soul Nourishing Wood on his head, falling into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    At that moment, the Dalit Flower that he had long ago integrated emerged spontaneously.


    Chen Mobai promptly pressed down the Dalit Flower¡¯s passive defense power, opened up his Purple Mansion, and let the power of the Soul Nourishing Wood into it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the twinkling of silvery light, his real body was teleported to the Tianhe Realm, while the Puppet Void Idol, which was controlled by his Divine Sense, remained where it was.


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a faint dizziness from his Divine Sense being split between the two realms.


    The Soul Nourishing Wood was effective. At the very least, compared to the previous unbearable feeling of nearing collapse, now it only felt like a mild ailment after a cold, entirely bearable.


    ¡°I just don¡¯t know how long this force of the Soul Nourishing Wood can last.¡±

 Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: Chapter 394: New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_2

    Chapter 612: Chapter 394: New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_2


    Chen Mobai remembered the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s records about Soul Nourishing Wood. This spiritual object is a treasure for ghost cultivators, but for cultivators like them who focus on Qi cultivation, it is but an object that nourishes the heart and spirit and purifies the divine sense.


    Wearing Soul Nourishing Wood for a long time would absorb some miscellaneous elements from one¡¯s Divine Sense and gradually enhance its power.


    However, the effectiveness of the Soul Nourishing Wood would also gradually weaken until it completely lost its spirit effectiveness.


    A Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood was just right to be useful for a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Chen Mobai felt an indescribable change in his Divine Sense under the fluctuations of the Soul Nourishing Wood, revealing a relaxed expression on his face.


    It seemed that there were signs of loosening in the bottleneck of his divine sense.


    If he could use this Soul Nourishing Wood to let his Divine Sense reach the perfection in Foundation Establishment, then his trip to the five markets in Jian Country could be considered a truly perfect action.


    Chen Mobai, who was thinking in such a way, used a simple artifact refining method to resize the Soul Nourishing Wood to the same size as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Then he used the Soul Nourishing Wood as a second hairpin, inserting it crosswise with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin on top of his high bun.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    At this time, his three disciples who had received his message had also arrived.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t know about the Soul Nourishing Wood, so after greeting, seeing an extra dark hairpin that looked like a cut branch on Chen Mobai¡¯s head, she couldn¡¯t help but look at it a few more times.


    ¡°Wen Bo, here are some talisman papers and some sample talisman ink, you take them.¡±


    Chen Mobai passed a storage bag to Liu Wenbo, who immediately reached out with both hands to respectfully receive it.


    ¡°Master, is this the income from the South Mountain Shop in the five big markets of Jian Country for a month?¡±


    After Liu Wenbo took it, he handed over a small storage bag full of spirit stones to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You keep it for now, hand it over to your master at the end of the year. If there¡¯s an opportunity in the markets, try to exchange them for high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who now looked down upon these few hundred spirit stones, waved his hand to indicate that Liu Wenbo was now managing branches in five big markets and the expenditure was high, so he was allowed to use them first.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After Liu Wenbo nodded, he poured his divine sense into the storage bag in his hand, intending to see how he could arrange manpower to divide these talismans into batches.


    Then he stood frozen in place, his mouth wide open, a shocked look on his face.


    ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, seeing Liu Wenbo¡¯s expression, thought he was possessed, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, intending to show her concern.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t there too many talisman papers!¡±


    Liu Wenbo swallowed, and although he was from a prominent family and was quite world-wise, he had never seen such a scene of three hundred thousand high-quality talisman papers piled together.


    This was a property worth tens of thousands of spirit stones!


    He couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    ¡°I can move freely in and out of the Divine Tree Secret Realm. These talisman papers are made by me using the lifegiving teachings secret method with the Red Sun Spirit Tree as the raw material. The production can continue endlessly in the future.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s enough if you three know about this, remember not to leak it.¡±


    ¡°From now on, the talisman papers can be stored in the warehouse at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the rice barn is empty, Ming¡¯er, you¡¯ll have the trouble of looking after it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately nodded.


    She was more than willing to be in charge of things.


    Originally, Liu Wenbo intended to ask the mortals who were cultivating the South Mountain to help divide the talisman papers, as before. But three hundred thousand pieces were just too many.


    After reporting to Chen Mobai, he decided that from now on, the South Mountain Shop would mainly supply other talisman paper stores on a large scale, first securing the Jian Country market with low prices and high quality.


    In this way, even if the supply was large, there was no need to divide it into batches. This part of the manual work could be pushed to the talisman paper merchants.


    Chen Mobai suggested a few minor points about this, as the pattern was more mature on the Immortal Sect side.


    After Liu Wenbo learnt about the distributor model, he was enlightened and rode the Qinghong Bird to Yuhu Market to put it into practice overnight.


    ¡°Master, recently, there have been quite a few talisman shops in Divine Wood City who wanted to buy from us.¡±


    Zhuo Ming also mentioned a minor matter, but at the sect, Chen Mobai had no intention of drawing too much attention.


    As per his usual practice, he let Zhuo Ming sell 100 batches of symbols each month, and once they were sold out, there would be no more stock.


    He would not start establishing a monopoly until he became the sect leader or achieved Core Formation.


    ¡°The Xiao Nanshan shop in Divine Wood City only retails the symbols and does not wholesale them.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai, along with Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, descended the mountain.


    Today happened to be the time when a batch of Spirit Rice matured, and since it was convenient, Chen Mobai was more than willing to go to the fields.


    After a day of busyness, once the Spirit Rice was harvested and stored, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming to see the most precious ten-acre Spirit Field planted with Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    ¡°You can already smell the sweet aroma of the rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai snapped off a piece of the healthiest Jade Bamboo, closed his eyes and sniffed the Spirit Rice inside the bamboo, a satisfied expression on his face.


    Clearly, Zhuo Ming had managed these ten acres of Spirit Rice with care.


    ¡°Master, there are three types of hybrid Spirit Rice that are well-adapted, which one do you think is the best?¡±


    After observing the ten-acre Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Zhuo Ming brought Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan to see the other hybrid Spirit Rice, an experiment that Chen Mobai had initiated to improve the ten-year maturation period of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Over the years, hundreds of trials had been conducted, with many meeting the requirements. Eventually, he selected these three for focused development.


    If the improvement of the rice varieties was successful, their Divine Wood Sect would have a continuous supply of Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    In the short term, it would simply mean one more type of Spirit Rice.


    But what Chen Mobai was thinking of was adding free Spirit Rice to the benefits provided to the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the future.


    The more powerful the younger generation, the stronger the sect would become.


    The reason why all citizens in the Immortal Gate could engage in Immortal Cultivation was that everyone had grown up consuming Spirit Rice, ensuring abundant innate Yuan Qi and flawless Spiritual Roots.


    If every Qi Cultivation disciple in the Divine Wood Sect could eat free Rank-1 Spirit Rice, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators had enough Rank-2 Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai was confident that, a hundred years later, he could lead the Divine Wood Sect to become the top sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°This Fire Spirit Rice can mature twice a year. Although it doesn¡¯t taste as good as Jade Bud Spirit Rice, the spiritual energy it contains is not inferior.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, the Spirit Rice grown using Phoenix Tear Bamboo in place of Jade Bamboo appears promising in terms of growth and contained spiritual energy. It should be able to mature as Rank-2 Spirit Rice, but it doesn¡¯t need ten years¨CI estimate six or seven years will suffice.¡±


    ¡°However, the most suitable for Master¡¯s intentions should be this Qing Kuo Spirit Rice. This is a Rank-1 Spirit Rice that grows on the plateau in Rock Country and has a strong ability to bear Earth¡¯s energy. After hybridizing with the Jade Bud Spirit Rice, it can achieve perfect complementarity. After several rounds of cultivation, if it can consistently mature as Rank-2, then it will be a completely new Rank-2 Spirit Rice!¡±


    After examining the three types of hybrid Spirit Rice one by one, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain his joy and said a phrase.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you remind me of myself!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan, who was following along, looked enviously at Zhuo Ming, who was bashfully lowering her head.


    Among the three disciples, Chen Mobai was not stingy with his praises, but without a doubt, Zhuo Ming, who had the lowest cultivation level, always received the most praise.


    ¡°Remind me of myself¡±¨Cthese words implied the transmission of power in the future.


    It was the highest praise a teacher could give to a disciple!


    ¡°Watch carefully the Art of Life-giving Thunder obtained during my closed-door cultivation.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai reached out and grasped a stalk of Qing Kuo Spirit Rice from the Spirit Field. The ferocious power of thunder seen in the minds of cultivators suddenly became as gentle as water in his palm, condensing into droplet after droplet, seeping through his fingertips into the roots of the rice stalk.


    Afterwards, it was as if time rapidly moved forward. The hybrid Spirit Rice began to rapidly absorb the Earth¡¯s energy, the atmospheric moisture, and the spiritual energy, maturing and producing ears as it transformed into a stalk with full grain.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan were astonished upon witnessing this scene.


    ¡°It only has a Rank-1 level; it can¡¯t serve as the seed for next year.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked the Qing Kuo Spirit Rice that had been matured by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, squeezed it to discern the spirit essence within, and shook his head slightly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, he made another move and matured all the Qing Kuo Spirit Rice in the one-acre field.


    Unfortunately, in the end, only three stalks of rice had matured to just meet the Rank-2 level.


    ¡°Take them and plant them. Notify me once they sprout.¡±


    Zhuo Ming nodded repeatedly. If it hadn¡¯t been for the Yi Wood Divine Thunder speeding up the maturation, she would have had to wait at least until next year to see these results.


    [The master is indeed the master, I still have so much to learn!]

 Chapter 613 - Chapter 613: Chapter 395 Hong He_1

    Chapter 613: Chapter 395 Hong He_1


    After testing the vitality of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Chen Mobai became interested.


    He proceeded to allow all the Spirit Rice planted on Xiao Nanshan to mature at once, finding there were some limits.


    Firstly, this maturation couldn¡¯t disregard the grade of the Spirit Plant itself. For example, a Rank-1 Spirit Plant could only be matured to Rank-1.


    Of course, there were occasional Rank-1s that were particularly robust and could grow to Rank-2, as was the case with the hybrid of Qingkuo Spirit Rice and Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. But even with Zhuo Ming¡¯s attentive cultivation, only three out of a field of Spirit Rice managed to grow to Rank-2.


    This forced maturation, was merely a catalyst of the vitality power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder. The primary energy source for the maturation of the Spirit Rice still came from the Spirit Field¡¯s earth energy at Xiao Nanshan and the Spiritual Energy, etc.


    Chen Mobai matured an acre of the Qingkuo Jade Bud Spirit Rice, which initially was in a Rank-2 Spirit Field, was now rapidly dropping to Rank-1.


    However, Xiao Nanshan was rich in earth energy, and the lost energy could be recovered by changing the crop and applying fertilizers next year.


    The subject of forced maturation also had to have already grown substantially to withstand the irrigation of vitality.


    If a seed was forced to mature, the seed would weaken and decompose, unable to withstand the powerful influx of vitality.


    After several consecutive days, Chen Mobai finally had accurate understanding of the vitality power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    Unless it was a vital spirit plant, using this Technique Law was not advisable because it excessively strained the resources available.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, such practices of damaging the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Vein were not permitted.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, I see you¡¯ve been cultivating the Nine Rampart Law Body. Take this piece of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to replenish your energy.¡±


    That day, Chen Mobai matured a Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. He took a piece for himself to taste and gave the rest to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Master, this is too precious.¡±


    With the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, almost as thick as her forearm and over three meters tall, in her arms, Zhuo Ming shook her head, her eyes wide in astonishment.


    ¡°The most important thing about Body Forging is to have ample Qi and blood. You have spent two years eating Jade Bud Spirit Rice, which has built up your body¡¯s foundation. But to cultivate the Nine Rampart Law Body, you must replenish your body greatly.¡±


    ¡°This Rank-2 Spirit Rice is just right. However, your Realm is still a bit low. Mix it with Rank-1 Spirit Rice for now and eat one piece every seven days. It should be just right for your body to digest. After you finish, come to me for more.¡±


    ¡°According to my estimation, after about five or six years, you should be able to master the Nine Rampart Law Body. By then, even with lacking combat experience, at least no one will be able to beat you.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke those words, Zhuo Ming understood his well-intentioned concern. It was about worrying her ability to perform in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Thank you, master. I certainly won¡¯t disappoint you!¡±


    Holding the large Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice in her arms, Zhuo Ming declared firmly. She promised to work hard and cultivate the Nine Rampart Law Body without fail, not to disgrace the reputation of Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    Listening to this, Luo Yixuan considered whether she should also cultivate a water attribute Body Training Technique, so as not to waste the abundance of varied Spirit Rice in the Xiao Nanshan Warehouse.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing about being disappointed or not, just cultivate normally. Don¡¯t feel stressed and don¡¯t think that the Spirit Rice is precious. After about ten years, I¡¯ll make sure everyone in the sect gets to eat Rank-2 Spirit Rice.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was young, his family was not wealthy. But because Green Mountain Village produced Spirit Rice, his mother would normally mix a handful of Rank-2 Spirit Rice in every meal. Although he had a serious illness in his childhood and his Qi and blood were deficient, he grew up to be full of strength and vigor afterwards.


    ¡°Master, let me cook the rice for you!¡±


    At the foot of the mountain, Luo Yixuan took the piece of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice Chen Mobai had broken off. She started a fire on the spot and took out a flat rock from her storage bag to heat it up. Then she roasted the bamboo piece on it.


    Soon, a faint aroma began to spread.


    Chen Mobai sat on a big rock, while Zhuo Ming fetched a pot of Mountain Spring Water.


    In a short while, the two disciples served him the cooked Mountain Spring Water and Spirit Rice.


    ¡°You two should try too.¡±


    Chen Mobai cut the bamboo piece of Spirit Rice in half with a smile. The roasting released a pleasing mixture of the bamboo¡¯s refreshing scent and the rich aroma of the rice grains. The grains of rice were evenly plump, translucent and glistening, like white jade. The rice was pleasantly soft, fragrant and sticky.


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Spirit Rice was the most gentle spirit plant. Luo Yixuan, who had achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, and Zhuo Ming, who was at Qi Cultivation Level 7 and practiced Body Refining Technique, both were offered a small piece. Chen Mobai cut off the best tasting top end for them.


    Just as the two women were eating the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice with blissful expressions, a Message Talisman lit up in the distant sky.


    Luo Yixuan stood up immediately to receive the Message Talisman and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Elder brother E and elder brother Yuan have returned. Pack up and follow me to Divine Wood City tomorrow.¡±

    Speaking of which, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t seen E Yun for a long time.


    Meeting an old friend brought joy.


    ¡°Master, should we bring some Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice?¡±


    Luo Yixuan reminded him in a whisper. Chen Mobai slapped his forehead, then immediately turned around, matured another piece and handed it to his young disciple to process.


    The next day, Zhuo Ming stayed to guard the house as usual.

 Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: Chapter 395 Hong He_2

    Chapter 614: Chapter 395 Hong He_2


    The master and disciple arrived in Divine Wood City. There were already quite a few people in E Yun¡¯s courtyard.


    It was only late at night, when there were fewer people, that Chen Mobai came to pay a visit.


    ¡°Brother E, try the Spirit Rice I grew in Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    At night, it was the circle of Foundation Establishment cultivators. E Yun, Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye, and Yue Zutao, all tasted the boiled Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and couldn¡¯t stop praising it.


    ¡°I feel inferior to the talents of Brother Chen. Anything you want to do, you do it well.¡±


    In the old days, when Chen Mobai went farming, Yuan Chiye lamented in his heart that this man had no ambition to progress; now he thinks about it, it was his own superficiality.


    Whether it¡¯s farming or sword training, or even cultivation, Chen Mobai has reached the peak. At least among his peers, he is the first.


    ¡°Having a high cultivation realm only means being powerful oneself. I hope that when it is our turn to hold the reins of the Divine Wood Sect in the future, we don¡¯t have to act personally. Any disciple can suppress one side. So I just think, can each disciple eat free Spirit Rice, and that¡¯s why I took a fancy to farming.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made the three people present fall into thought. After a long while, Yue Zutao shook his head, indicating that this was almost impossible to achieve.


    The cultivation of Rank-1 Spirit Rice is supported by the sect with ten times the contribution, which was just barely enough to maintain part of the disciples¡¯ use, and some even need to buy from other immortal cultivation families.


    Except for those in the body forging department, all will ensure they consume Spirit Rice and Meat. The rest of the Qi Practitioners solve the problem of hunger basically by using Fasting Pills.


    It can only be said that the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness are not only ruthless to their enemies, but also to themselves.


    Except for the indispensable pills for cultivation, they won¡¯t skimp; otherwise, for the sake of improving their cultivation, many people have cut off their enjoyment of eating, drinking, and playing, and all are eager to break through the realm, to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Spirit Rice is considered a luxury for many cultivators.


    However, for E Yun and the others, it is clear that if one takes Spirit Rice for a long time, it will also help in reaching Foundation Establishment. At least the process of body transformation would be a bit easier.


    ¡°The success is within people, and I will propose this to the Sect Leader in the future. There are many abandoned Spirit Fields in Giant Tree Ridge, which I find heartbreaking. Let¡¯s see if we can manage to clean them up, and plant all kinds of Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai talked about his wishes, and everyone admired his vision and ideal, and they all wished him success.


    In fact, there are more abandoned Spirit Fields in Giant Tree Ridge than medicinal fields, probably thousands of acres in total.


    After all, this place used to be the logistics base of the whole Five Elements Sect, which needed to supply Spirit Rice for tens of thousands of Qi Practitioners a hundred years ago.


    But now, due to the lack of staff in the Divine Wood Sect, they can only maintain the most core and precious part of the medicinal fields.


    The Spirit Fields are supported by ten times the contribution points. As long as the disciples are willing to farm, the seeds, formations, Spiritual Water, etc. are all provided free of charge by the Spirit Plant Department.


    It¡¯s just a pity that even so, the responders are few and far between.


    Just like Chen Mobai, who is considered an anomaly.


    That day.


    At Yin Qingmei¡¯s celebration, Chen Mobai finally met the famed Hong He.


    He looked like a very gentle young man, wearing a white robe, with a straight stature, handsome features, very thin lips, sitting in his place, constantly smiling with his eyes closed.


    Chen Mobai originally thought he was a very arrogant man, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be so amiable.


    ¡°Pleased to meet you, Brother Hong!¡±


    After Chen Mobai had given Yin Qingmei his gifts, he took the initiative to walk over and greet Hong He.


    ¡°You must be Brother Chen, I¡¯ve heard about you from Brother E, you¡¯re very impressive.¡±


    Hong He squinted and smiled, nodding at Chen Mobai, then pointed to an empty seat next to him, inviting the latter to sit down.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like things that are too lively, but I couldn¡¯t skip Yin¡¯s Foundation Establishment celebration.¡±


    After Chen Mobai sat down, Hong He chatted with him like an old friend.


    The other members of the Divine Wood Sect who came in twos and threes, seeing the scene of the conversation between the two top people in the Sect, their originally brisk footsteps unconsciously became more serious. After sending their gifts, they carefully found a location far away from the two.


    ¡°Master wanted to set up a matchmaking between me and Junior Sister Yin, but in reality, I only feel sibling affection for her. Because of this, there was some misunderstanding with Junior Brother Yuan initially. I have always wanted to clarify things, but I was kept busy with defending the Rain Country and only came back to the sect today.¡±


    As Hong He revealed a secret Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, the latter couldn¡¯t help but be astonished, vaguely understanding why Yue Zutao had said those words back then.


    ¡°Could it be, Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Yin had a romantic past?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it could be called romance. But, Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Yin came from the same place, naturally they became close. Then, some people wanting to curry favor with me tried to give him trouble.¡±


    In conversing with Hong He, Chen Mobai finally understood that Yuan Chiye, after just entering the sect, had close relations with Yin Qingmei, which led to him being oppressed by other True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect. However, his own efforts and connections with E Yun led him to his achievements today.


    By today¡¯s standards, Yuan Chiye has achieved Foundation Establishment. Those True Disciples who oppressed him in the past have either become ordinary Sect Disciples, such as the Rank-9 Qi Practitioners who are the shopkeepers in the Fang Market, or they remain in Giant Tree Ridge, desperately preserving their True Disciple status, striving for the Foundation Building Pill.


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s current achievements are akin to publically slapping their faces.


    At this time, E Yun and Yuan Chiye both came in. Both were taken aback when they saw Chen Mobai and Hong He sitting together.


    After delivering their congratulatory gifts, the two approached.


    ¡°Junior Brother E, Junior Brother Yuan, would you like to join us?¡±


    After greeting them, Hong He enthusiastically invited the two to join, but E Yun and Yuan Chiye quickly declined, saying they had already made arrangements with others.


    [Oh, something seems a bit off.]


    Only now did Chen Mobai notice that since he sat down, no one had dared to approach him.


    What¡¯s going on?


    Did Hong He have a bad reputation?


    Or was his reputation too formidable, making the rest of the Divine Wood Sect disciples afraid to approach?


    ¡°I want to thank all my peers for coming to celebrate today. I have prepared some wine and fruits, please enjoy.¡± At this point, Yin Qingmei came forward.


    Having not seen her for nearly eight years, the little girl from the past had fully blossomed into maturity. Beneath her silver-white dress was a graceful and proud figure. Her beautiful and refined countenance was paired with enchanting brows and eyes, making her stunningly beautiful.


    Chen Mobai sampled the fruit wine and found it better than expected.


    By Yin Qingmei¡¯s side was an old cultivator who was essentially hosting the celebration, as she was just a newly matured girl from a small place, unaccustomed to etiquette and in need of guidance.


    ¡°This is Fu Yuyu.¡±


    As Hong He pointed to the old cultivator beside Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai recognized the name. He was the grandson of Elder Fu, but his Spiritual Root Talent was mediocre and he hadn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment.


    However, Fu Yuyu had an outstanding son, the famous Fu Xingzhou.


    ¡°Speaking of it, after the battle with Shake Mountain last time, only Senior Brother Fu is still missing.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai remembered this matter.


    There were also some missing disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, but all those Qi Practitioners were declared dead a year later.


    Only Fu Xingzhou was still ¡°missing¡±, as the sect could confirm he was still alive.

    ¡°After expressing that I only have fraternal feelings for Junior Sister Yin, Fu Yuyu has always been matchmaking Junior Sister Yin and Senior Brother Fu, hoping to produce outstanding offspring for them. Now that Senior Brother Fu is missing, it¡¯s actually a fortunate thing for Junior Sister Yin.¡±


    Hong He said with a light laugh.


    ¡°It¡¯s surprising that Junior Sister Yin, being Heavenly Spiritual Root, also cannot escape this situation.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that in Eastern Wilderness, female cultivators with excellent Spiritual Root talents were often treated as breeding tools by cultivation families. For instance, his young disciple Luo Yixuan grew up in this shadow.


    However, he never expected that Yin Qingmei, being Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root, would also face such troubles.

 Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: Chapter 396 Im not targeting anyone_1

    Chapter 615: Chapter 396 I¡¯m not targeting anyone_1


    The celebration for Yin Qingmei didn¡¯t just invite young people, like Chen Mobai, who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but many True Disciples also received invitations and attended the event.


    The Divine Wood Sect, due to splitting from the Five Elements Sect less than a century ago, still has a fairly simple hierarchical structure.


    Two elders guard the three major halls, the others who helped establish the sect, each controlling the twelve branches, are Cultivators who established their foundation. Below them, are young people like Chen Mobai from the Red River, who established their foundation after the founding of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among them, the line is drawn at Yue Zutao, who is considered a genius within the sect that emerged during both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s times. He had also been the top head of the Divine Wood Sect for ten years.


    Following Yue Zutao, came people like Fu Xingzhou. However, in those ten years, no one like Chen Mobai or Red River, suppressed and dominated an era with their unstoppable talent.


    Even Fu Xingzhou failed his first attempt at taking the Foundation Building Pill. It took the face-saving intervention of Elder Fu on Qin Mei¡¯s behalf, giving him another pill, for him to narrowly establish his foundation.


    Those like Fu Xingzhou marked a low point for the Divine Wood Sect. After all, at that time, they had just ceased their battle with the Five Elements Sect. Cultivators within their four nations were inherently mistrustful of the Divine Wood Sect, and many Cultivator families were leaning towards the Five Elements Sect, preferring a roundabout journey to send their talents to the Five Elements Sect.


    Fortunately, the incumbent Sect Leader, Meng Hong, identified this problem and lifted restrictions on recruiting disciples.


    Even Loose Cultivators who learned their skills from a variety of sources, so long as they hadn¡¯t committed a great crime, like murder against a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, were welcomed. Everything else was overlooked; the objective was first to bring them in.


    As a result, talents like Red River, E Yun, and Mu Yuan, who were on par with Yue Zutao, came forth.


    Among them, Red River was considered the most gifted talent in the Divine Wood Sect since its establishment, and was almost certainly destined to reach the Core Formation stage.


    Everyone thought Red River was unbeatable, until a few years later when Yin Qingmei, who possessed the Heavenly Spiritual Root, was recruited.


    With the Heavenly Spiritual Root, barring any incidents, core formation was pretty much guaranteed.


    The streak of good luck didn¡¯t stop. The last batch of recruitments brought in Chen Mobai, an unrivalled talent in swordsmanship technique.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual root talent was comparable to that of Red River and others, but the shocking swordsmanship talent he demonstrated allowed everyone in the Divine Wood Sect to see another Mo Douguang in him.


    Even those who knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°true¡± Sword Dao Realm, such as respected elders like Zhou, believed that Mobai¡¯s swordsmanship talents surpassed even those of Mo Douguang.


    Among the older generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, only three or four had a fighting chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    But, the young ones, like Chen Mobai, who had just established their foundation, seemed to have a high chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, a Core Formation Cultivator, was godlike!


    Thus, many older Cultivators of mediocre potential began to hand over their power and authority to these young disciples like Chen Mobai, under the subtle hint of the two senior elders, clearing the path for them to rise.


    If Yue Zutao hadn¡¯t been constrained in his cultivation level by the Tree Fruit, he would probably already be one of the twelve branch inspectors.


    As for Red River, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun, immediately after establishing their foundations, they were appointed to guard three different countries. After ten years of performance, they will get to manage one of the twelve branches of the sect.


    It was a generally accepted consensus within the Divine Wood Sect that the future Sect Leader would emerge from among Red River and the others, following Chu Zuoshu.


    But then who knew that a more monstrous talent, Chen Mobai, would show up.


    Moreover, after Chen Mobai, Yu Lian and Mu Yuan also looked like potential candidates.


    The surge of talent brought both shock and joy to the two senior elders; it also brought dilemmas in choosing a successor.


    However, this was not a pressing matter. Even Zhou Shengqing, the oldest, had two hundred years of life left, and Fu Zongjue was in his prime. They could afford to wait a hundred years to see who was the truest talent.


    The two senior elders had plenty of lifespan and could wait.


    However, some older Cultivators at Foundation Establishment couldn¡¯t wait, and many old Sect members had already started placing their bets on potential successors.


    Among them, Red River was the disciple of elder Fu, and was bestowed with exceptional talent. He was favored by the majority.


    Clashing with Red River¡¯s talent was Zhou Wangshen, the descendant of elder Zhou.


    E Yun was the choice of those in the sect who didn¡¯t want to choose between the two elders, but who were more interested in secluded cultivation. However, these people were not few in number either.


    Today¡¯s celebration for Yin Qingmei was also seen as a display of strength for the Red River branch led by the Penalty Evil Hall.


    However, there will always be those who go against the grain.


    ¡°Brother Red River, I heard that you¡¯ve made a breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment while guarding the Rain Country. This is truly a joyous occasion.¡±


    After Yin Qingmei made her entrance and spoke, a Qi Cultivation True Disciple suddenly stood up, walked over to Red River, and proposed a toast with a look of admiration on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing to be mentioned.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Red River responded with a slight smile, graciously downing his drink.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall began to heat up. Many True Disciples, who hadn¡¯t even successfully established their foundation, were shocked to hear Red River had made another breakthrough.


    ¡°I heard that brother Zhou also made an early breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. It seems that the future of our sect will be in the hands of brother Red River and brother Wang Wangshen.¡±


    At this moment, another True Disciple spoke up. It was one of Zhou Wangshen¡¯s men.¡±


    ¡°My breakthrough was largely due to the help of external factors. Compared to brother Red River, I¡¯m still a bit behind.¡±

 Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: Chapter 396: Im Not Targeting Anyone_2

    Chapter 616: Chapter 396: I¡¯m Not Targeting Anyone_2


    Unexpectedly, Zhou Wangshen exhibited modesty, humbly admitting he fell short of Hong He. Those who knew his character well couldn¡¯t help but show surprise.


    ¡°By the way, it seems Brother E Yun is somewhat lagging. He¡¯s the only one among the three notorious figures who hasn¡¯t broken through yet.¡±


    Finally, another arranged person spoke up.


    Once those words were spoken, Yuan Chiye, who was standing next to E Yun, changed his expression, giving the speaker a chilling stare.


    However, the person who spoke was Wu Zeyang, one of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm alongside Chen Mobai. Facing Yuan Chiye¡¯s cold gaze, Wu Zeyang smiled lightly then lowered his head.


    It was well known that Wu Zeyang was a follower of Zhou Wangshen. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t argue with him, especially since what he said was indeed factual.


    [Are they planning to kick E Yun out of the competition first?]


    Everyone in the hall recognized their intention at this point, as it appeared that the forces of Hong He and Zhou Wangshen had unintentionally established a silent agreement on this regard.


    ¡°In terms of cultivation, indeed, I¡¯m inferior to both senior brothers,¡± E Yun admitted, knowing there was nothing he could do. Arguing at this point would make him seem petty. On the contrary, it was better to admit openly his inferiority.


    However, this would likely mean that the position of the sect leader would be out of his grasp unless Meng Hong successfully achieves Core Formation and decides to support him.


    At this point, most of the neutral disciples had already started to underestimate E Yun, as it became evident in their minds that there was a significant disparity among the once equally notorious trio.


    ¡°But I must say, when it comes to leading the sect, one¡¯s cultivation is not as important as their potential to usher the sect into a more promising future.¡±


    At this point, someone within the hall defied the forces at play and voiced an opinion.


    Wu Zeyang frowned, wondering who was being so obstinate.


    Then.


    He saw Chen Mobai.


    Oh, it¡¯s him!


    Wu Zeyang pretended not to hear, glanced at Zhou Wangshen beside him, and lowered his head.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen makes a valid point. However, if we want to develop in the Eastern Wilderness, the most critical factor is strength. Otherwise, even survival is impossible, let alone talking about development and the future.¡±


    Wu Zeyang not speaking up, Zhou Wangshen had to step forth, expressing the most fundamental survival value in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Most people in the room nodded in agreement to this statement.


    Even Hong He conceded that this was true.


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou, I understand your point, but as long as there¡¯s a higher power present, the cultivation level of the Sect Leader isn¡¯t crucial,¡± Chen Mobai argued.


    ¡°For instance, even if Sect Leader Chu is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he¡¯d still receive the highest hospitality when visiting other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness, all because our Divine Wood Sect has two Golden Core Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°Most of the respect our sect receives from those in the Eastern Wilderness is because of them.¡±


    ¡°Am I making sense?¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, many showed realization, as they found it to be actually true.


    Although Chu Zuoshu¡¯s Foundation Establishment ground completion level was indeed powerful, the reason he was highly respected was because he was backed by Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    Upon consideration, the cultivation level of a Sect Leader didn¡¯t seem that important after all.


    ¡°But if the Sect Leader is also at the highest Realm, our sect¡¯s reputation will be even more profound,¡± Zhou Wangshen retorted, maintaining his belief that cultivation level is paramount.


    ¡°What do you think, Senior Brother Hong?¡± Chen Mobai posed the question to Hong He, who shook his head, uttering a straightforward reply.


    ¡°The Sect Leader is a reflection of our sect¡¯s prestige. If their cultivation level is low, I¡¯m afraid it will be ridiculed by other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    This implied support for Zhou Wangshen.


    Unbelievable! Today¡¯s celebration for Yin Qingmei became a public shaming of E Yun. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head regretfully.


    It seems he has no choice but to step in!


    ¡°If you want to choose a Sect Leader based on cultivation level, no offense to everyone here, but I doubt anyone among you can match me!¡± Chen Mobai declared, letting go of concealing his aura. Using the Pure Yang Scroll to simulate a mid-level Foundation Establishment Red Flame Sword Jue, he demonstrated he was qualified to say such words.


    Upon hearing his words, everyone¡¯s gazes fell on Zhou Wangshen and Hong He.


    No one else in the room could possibly match Chen Mobai.


    His reputation was simply too astonishing.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen is renowned as the number one sword cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect, and his record in the Thunder Nation Battlefield is quite outstanding. I¡¯ve heard about it,¡±


    Zhou Wangshen¡¯s tone hinted at his eagerness to take on Chen Mobai, seeming extremely confident in his own Taoist Body of longevity.


    ¡°You¡¯re not his match. Let me do it.¡±


    However, at this moment, Hong He suddenly intervened.


    ¡°I still want to try.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen stood up confidently and strode towards the center of the hall. A stage originally intended for magic duels during the celebration was right there, used by the host to demonstrate magic.


    And guests engaging each other in sparring was not an unusual occurrence.


    Even though Chen Mobai had a great reputation, Zhou Wangshen believed that with his adept Taoist Body of Longevity, he could stand on the same stage as Chen Mobai, against the same opponent from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then pardon my inadequacy.¡±


    Despite being able to defeat his enemy in one move, Chen Mobai gave due respect to Zhou Wangshen¡¯s ancestor and gracefully stepped onto the stage. His right hand opened, a gleaming lightning column condensed slowly into a head-sized thunderball in the palm of his hand, which he slammed forcefully into the fully armed chest of Zhou Wangshen.


    With the cracking sound, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s Taoist Body armor shattered and he was pushed back more than ten steps, narrowly avoiding being propelled off the stage by the thunderball.


    ¡°Rank-3 thunder method!¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, with a hoarse voice, looked behind him. Only had he taken one more step, he would have fallen off the stage.


    But as one of the duelers, he was well aware that it wasn¡¯t him who blocked the attack, but Chen Mobai had intentionally pulled back.


    ¡°Senior brother Hong, please.¡±


    After defeating Zhou Wangshen in a single move, Chen Mobai then invited Hong He onto the stage.


    ¡°Your Longevity Taoist body is still in its early stages of mastery.¡±


    When Hong He stepped onto the stage, he looked disappointedly at Zhou Wangshen who was in trance walking off the stage. The opponent he expected to pressurize him over the next century is surprisingly weak which made him feel a bit unhappy.


    But it didn¡¯t matter anymore.


    After all, he had another target to drive himself.


    Hong He liked putting pressures on himself. He found that as long as someone was chasing him, his cultivation speed to the Broken Mirror stage would considerably increase. That¡¯s why he loved the Divine Wood Sect.


    Because there he had E Yun and Zhou Wangshen.


    And in the future, he would have Heavenly Spiritual Root Yin Qingmei and the unprecedented sword cultivation genius Chen Mobai.


    The fact that Chen Mobai had progressed too quickly had somewhat taken Hong He by surprise.


    Now, it was time to rectify it!


    Even though Hong He enjoyed pressure, that pressure was of being chased by others and not of chasing others.


    He couldn¡¯t allow the roles to reverse.


    Thinking so, Hong He opened his narrowed eyes. Chen Mobai was shocked by his pair of dark green pupils.


    Hong He had cultivated the Azure Waves Cultivation, a common technique of the Divine Wood Sect dealing with water attribute. This cultivation technique was not even as strong as the Blackwater Cultivation.


    However, it was this technique that helped Hong He to dominate in the Divine Wood Sect for ages.


    As both of them were fellow sect members practicing against each other, they didn¡¯t use any magic artifacts or charms. They purely competed using their cultivation techniques.


    Hong He flicked his five fingers towards Chen Mobai and forcefully outstretched his palm.


    An enormous transparent hand, enveloping half the hall, emerged out of thin air, and the surging tidal waves came with a potential to sweep away everything in its path, fiercely landed.


    Chen Mobai, despite his self-confidence, never underestimated any opponent. When Hong He performed Azure Waves Cultivation, he also decided to give it his all.


    He spat out an azure sword pill from his mouth.


    With a whiz!


    A fleeting light appeared and it looked like a beautiful scene opening up the monotony, pressing pause on the stormy sea, and it immediately turned into a tranquil sunset.


    The sunset glow on the calm sea was curling and uncurling itself, depicting a beautiful yet calm scene.

    Hong He only felt a burning and piercing pain in his hand. He stared blankly at the tiny puncture in the center of his palm.


    Through the hollow in his palm, he saw Chen Mobai across, swallowing the azure sword pill.


    ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter?!¡±


    It was an unbelievable question from Hong He.


    ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t you guys know that I¡¯ve mastered the Sword Sha? I¡¯ve been wondering why you guys dared to challenge me!¡±

 Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: Chapter 397 - Changes of Spiritual Root 1

    Chapter 617: Chapter 397 ¨C Changes of Spiritual Root 1


    Chen Mobai originally thought that his successful practice of Sword Sha was already widely publicized.


    He even thought that Hong He and Zhou Wangshen both possessed strengths equivalent to Sword Sha, which was why they dared to challenge him to a magic duel.


    Who would have thought that ignorance is truly bliss?


    After calming the room, the words spoken by Chen Mobai were finally recognized by everyone.


    ¡°The talent Chen Mobai has for the Sword Dao truly stands out from the ordinary.¡±


    Even after losing, Hong He conceded without reservations.


    ¡°I just happened to be better at duelling.¡±


    When facing his peers, Chen Mobai was rather modest. But the gaze of the crowd was different now ¡ª he was no longer seen as just slightly superior, but as completely invincible.


    If one were to judge by the cultivation realm and magic duels, it was certain that he would be the future sect leader.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I will catch up with you in the future,¡± Hong He said hopefully, expressing his determination. Despite his loss, he believed that it was mainly because his cultivation techniques and magic abilities were lacking.


    At the Foundation Establishment level, this Green Flames Sword Slaughter was invincible.


    However, at least both of their cultivation realms were on par¨Cboth at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Hong He decided to work harder in this aspect, striving to be the first among his peers to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai simply nodded and didn¡¯t say anything more.


    The celebration continued as planned.


    Yin Qingmei took the stage and demonstrated her Longevity Technique. With her Heavenly Wood spiritual foundation, practicing this specific technique from the Divine Wood Sect made her highly advantageous.


    Though she had only just started her Foundation Establishment, her Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light evolved like a spirit snake, demonstrating a proficiency that made everyone feel inadequate.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed traces of the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue in Yin Qingmei¡¯s technique.


    It was a technique he had reported to the two Elders and was likely taught to Yin Qingmei by the Elder Fu, considering her status.


    Later, when Yin Qingmei came to give him a toast, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with her, recalling their first encounter in Southstream Market and once again expressing his gratitude.


    ¡°I was just doing my duty as a messenger,¡± Yin Qingmei said with a smile. Clearly, she remembered the incident from eight years ago. In fact, even if she had forgotten about all the other disciples she recruited in Yun Country, she would not forget about Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I think you seem to have practiced the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue. There¡¯s a companion skill called Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, which I also obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡± said Chen Mobai. He intended to pass it on to Yin Qingmei as gratitude for her help.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen, for passing on the secret technique. I¡¯m also about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm to receive the sect¡¯s real inheritance. I¡¯ve heard that Brother Chen is the person in the sect who is most familiar with the secret realm, so may I ask if you can provide some guidance in the future?¡±


    After Chen Mobai passed on the Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, Yin Qingmei¡¯s eyes brightened. She even paddled the canoe further, asking him about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Not a problem at all. I should be in Divine Wood City for a while, so feel free to visit whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    When Yin Qingmei finished her toast, it signalled that the time was almost up.


    Chen Mobai was the first to excuse himself.


    Once he left, Hong He found the gathering dull, and following him, the newly promoted cultivators at Foundation Establishment like Zhou Wangshen and E Yun also began to excuse themselves.


    In the end, only a few regular Qi Cultivation disciples remained. They took advantage of this rare opportunity to exchange knowledge amongst themselves, and only dispersed in the late hours of the night.


    [Yin Qingmei¡¯s Spiritual Roots: Gold 2, Wood 83, Water 6, Fire 4, Earth 5]


    After looking at the data displayed on his palm-sized Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Sitting opposite him, Yin Qingmei asked nervously. She came to visit today to ask about the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Chen Mobai decided to first check her spiritual root values.


    ¡°With your Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, you should definitely receive the best opportunities in the Secret Realm. The most suitable for you in the Magic Treasure Tree should be the ¡®Verdant Wood Heart¡¯, but if you obtain the ¡®Longevity Fruit¡¯, don¡¯t get discouraged.¡±


    ¡°The Talent Tree will give you a suitable refining technique for the treasures you obtain from the Magic Treasure Tree. But it¡¯s also possible that due to your excellent Spiritual Root, you might stem the real inheritance technique of the Eternal Sect.¡±


    ¡°As for the final Divine Dao Tree, just relax and try your best to move forward.¡±


    Chen Mobai was able to share his rich experiences, but given that Yin Qingmei did not practice Duality Gong, it was relatively easy to speculate the benefits she could receive from the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Brother Chen.¡±


    Hong He shared his experience in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but he believed his level of understanding was not as deep as Chen Mobai¡¯s, hence she decided to come and visit him for more advice.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind if I ask, how far did you manage to step forward in front of the Divine Dao Tree?¡±


    Before leaving, Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t help but ask that question. As many cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect would not publicize their achievements here, because they generally don¡¯t perform well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Try not to have unrealistic aspirations, sister.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai only replied with a light smile.


    He was not one to show off, therefore he didn¡¯t mention that he had recently managed 12 steps, nearly passing the final challenge in front of the Divine Dao Tree.


    ¡°I accept your advice, Brother Chen. I understand.¡±


    Yin Qingmei bowed her head in apology, yet deep down, she felt somewhat unconvinced.

 Chapter 618 - Chapter 618: Chapter 397 Spiritual Root Changes_2

    Chapter 618: Chapter 397 Spiritual Root Changes_2


    She had heard from Hong He that she had taken nine and a half steps. This was already the best result since the establishment of the Divine Wood Sect.


    She always considered herself to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, her talent being above all others. If the Divine Tree Secret Realm truly depended on one¡¯s innate abilities, she believed she could surpass Hong He and even Chen Mobai. She might even become the first newly established Foundation Establishment disciple to come into contact with the body of the Talent Tree itself.


    After seeing off Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai was about to put the Spirit-Testing Instrument from his palm back into its place when he suddenly thought that he hadn¡¯t tested himself for quite some time. Thus, he injected a stream of Spiritual Power into it.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 49, Water 20, Fire 72, Earth 14]


    Huh!


    Chen Mobai thought the Spirit-Testing Instrument hadn¡¯t been cleared properly. He injected another stream of Spiritual Power, but the Spiritual Root values it showed were exactly the same as before, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief.


    He had reached a Cultivation Level where he could easily remember everything at a glance.


    Chen Mobai remembered that when he had just cultivated the Five Yang Body at the beginning of the year, his Spiritual Root Value was [Gold 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 72, Earth 10].


    How could it be that after less than half a year, his Spiritual Root Value had increased?


    Moreover, what had increased were the Wood, Water, and Earth attributes, each by exactly 4 points.


    Had he consumed a rare treasure that could enhance one¡¯s Spiritual Roots?


    A thought flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind and he realized something.


    The Immortal Peach Fruit!


    That was the only thing he had consumed recently.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that this Rank-3 Spirit Fruit would actually enhance his Spiritual Root Value.


    He had truly refined four Immortal Peach Fruits! The Wood, Earth, and Water attributes of his Spiritual Roots had increased by 4 points, which was exactly right!


    ¡°Another loss!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed with regret. Any change in his Spiritual Root Value would lead to an update in his talent tree¡¯s technique law. If he had known beforehand that consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit could enhance his Spiritual Roots, for each fruit he consumed, he would have gone to the Talent Tree straightaway.


    But there was no workaround for this, given that at that time he was just focused on raising his cultivation level and wasn¡¯t paying attention to these details.


    The discovery wasn¡¯t too late, at least he could still pluck something from the Talent Tree.


    And now that he knew that the Immortal Peach Fruit could enhance Spiritual Roots, if he waited until the mother tree on Black Cloud Mountain matured again, he could try to get some more fruits to taste and see if there was an upper limit to the enhancement of Spiritual Roots.


    In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai looked at the Devouring Heaven Serpent happily grazing. He threw some Spirit Stones to it and leisurely walked towards the Talent Tree.


    This time, he obtained a technique law called the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡±.


    This was the Method of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.


    It could turn any mature Spirit Plant into a seed. For instance, if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t consume the Immortal Peach Fruit, he could use the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± to turn it into a seed.


    As long as there was sufficient earth qi energy, a seed transformed through the Kindwood Mantra was guaranteed to sprout and survive.


    The purpose of this Cultivation Technique was to enable the large-scale migration of precious Spirit Plants.


    However, this ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± required Cultivation to be able to work on Spirit Medicines and Plants of the corresponding Grade.


    For instance, right now Chen Mobai could only use the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± to turn Rank-1 Spiritual Medicines and Plants into seeds. If he could cultivate it to Rank-3, then he could turn the Immortal Peach mother tree on Black Cloud Mountain into a seed and move it here, ensuring it survives.


    ¡°The techniques from this Longevity Sect are rather interesting.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that both the Jia Wood Jue and the Kindwood Mantra were more precious than the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Longevity Scripture and Red Flame Sword Jue. Muttering to himself, he took out the treasured Large Tung Flower Root Stem from his storage bag.


    Chen Mobai had used a grafting method to combine it with a Rank-3 tea branch from the Bai family. Whether it could be cultivated into a new type of tea through the method described by Wenren Xuewei was up to fate.


    He brought this stem in front of the Talent Tree.


    This particular Talent Tree was covered with signs of attacks. Chen Mobai carefully chose a sword wound that he himself had inflicted and inserted the grafted tea branch and root stem into it.


    According to Wenren Xuewei¡¯s thesis, a powerful Spirit Tree would nurture the tea branch into a living plant and then cultivate a new tea variety.


    However, while she could use the Big Tree for repeated trials and errors, Chen Mobai could only attempt that method desperately.


    He didn¡¯t hold high hopes for the outcome anyway.


    After all, if he ran out of tea leaves, he could always buy more from the Bai family.


    Before leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai turned around, hoping to find a Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    However, his luck was evidently not as good as Mu Yuan¡¯s. Even after exploring this Secret Realm for several years, he couldn¡¯t find a single one.


    Although he could synthesis Qingyang Spirit Wood artificially using the Jia Wood Jue technique, Chen Mobai felt that it was time to start planning his quest for this spiritual wood resource within the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Master, are you making puppets?¡±


    In the courtyard of Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai combined the parts he had made into a eight-legged spider puppet ¨C something Luo Yixuan had never seen before.


    ¡°Yes, I hope it will be useful. I need to find some things.¡±


    Searching alone in the vast Divine Tree Secret Realm would be time-consuming, so Chen Mobai decided to create a puppet capable of automatically seeking Qingyang Spirit Trees.


    His years under Che Yucheng¡¯s tutelage were not in vain, hence this palm-sized spider puppet was his replicated creation.


    It was also a type of combat puppet used by the Immortal Gate; Chen Mobai made some modifications. The original version could autonomously record patrolling targets and scan every inch within a radius of a hundred miles, transmitting the data in real-time to a controlling host.


    But Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford such a host and core chip, so he set a simple self-destruct program.


    The puppet would be highly sensitive to the scent of Green-sun Fire, and would instantaneously disintegrate upon contact with it.


    Chen Mobai, using rank-1 Heavenly Calculation Bead in place of the host, controlled ten small spider puppets, and began the slow search for Qingyang Spirit Trees within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He just needed to come to the Secret Realm when he had spare time, take out the Heavenly Calculation Bead stored nearby the Devouring Heaven Serpent, and check the data within to see if any progress was made.


    ¡°Master, you are truly versatile, you even understand puppet-making.¡±


    Luo Yixuan expressed her heartfelt admiration. She had been helping at the side for several days, but most of the parts she fashioned had errors, with only one or two being used by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yu Lian is coming over tonight, prepare some good food and drinks.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply responded with a slight smile to his disciple¡¯s praise. After collecting the replaced parts of the spider puppet, he instructed Luo Yixuan on a task.


    Although Yu Lian was also a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, his awkward position within the sect made him close to invisible.


    But Chu Zuoshu has indeed taken Chen Mobai¡¯s advice. Yu Lian was even invited back for Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation opportunity, clearly showing impartiality and intending to highlight the fairness and justice of the sect.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation at Lonely Spirit Ridge?¡±


    After Yu Lian reached Foundation Establishment, he was sent by Chu Zuoshu to guard the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s most precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine. He had visited that place with Shan Hongyi once before.


    Moreover, pretty much everyone with vested interests knew about this Void Mysterious Stone Mine after its battle with Shake Mountain peak.


    So when Chen Mobai asked, Yu Lian didn¡¯t hold anything back and shared some of his experiences over the past year.


    ¡°Sister Mei from the Spirit Vein Department came back with me this time. She has applied for a leave next year, so the sect will probably need to assign another Foundation Establishment cultivator to go there.¡±


    Mei Jingjun was a cultivator who went to Lonely Spirit Ridge to seek opportunity with Yan Jinye. However, in order to keep the matters a secret and due to some suspicion, she was sent to mine in the same place while being kept under surveillance by Grand Elder Zhou.


    But now, as the matter of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine is no longer a secret and Mei Jingjun didn¡¯t seem to have any problems under the department director¡¯s watch within a year, the sect thus agreed to her return request.


    ¡°By the way, just before I returned to the sect, I received this note. You wouldn¡¯t believe who gave it to me.¡±


    Suddenly, Yu Lian handed Chen Mobai a bright yellow talisman paper.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Lady Guo!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand that was holding the talisman paper paused slightly.


    ¡°I saw with my own eyes, she died by the hand of Daoist Feiming.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°She claimed herself as ¡®Lady Guo¡¯!¡±


    Yu Lian had been at the Qi Cultivation stage then, but had also heard about Lady Guo¡¯s affairs.


    ¡°What else did she say?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the talisman paper in his hand, which was adorned with a five-colored lotus lamp, and his face turned strange.


    ¡°She told me to give this to you and said she wants to make a deal with you.¡±

 Chapter 619 - Chapter 619: 398

    Chapter 619: 398


    ¡°Does anyone else know about this matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Yu Lian, as he watched the bright yellow talisman paper, his expression remained usual.


    ¡°No, only I know.¡±


    Yu Lian reassured with a firm expression, stating that no one else saw the talisman paper when he got it.


    ¡°The Void Mysterious Stone Mine is the most valuable resource of our sect. It¡¯s best not to have any unforeseen circumstances.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly said something meaningful that left Yu Lian somewhat confused.


    ¡°Could Chen Senior Brother enlighten me?¡±


    ¡°You are now a part of the Spirit Vein Department. During your performance review, submit this talisman paper as well. The Spirit Vein Department will report this matter, the Sect Leader will undoubtedly meet you. You need not hide anything, just truthfully report everything you know.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke these words, Yu Lian pondered for a moment, then his expression became enlightened.


    ¡°Senior Brother¡¯s foresight is far greater than mine. If not for your guidance, once this matter was exposed, I would be in an extremely difficult position in the sect.¡±


    ¡°We should always act upright and proper. In any situation, our first thought should be to report to the higher-ups of the sect. After all, if the sky were to fall, our two ancestors would be there to hold it up. Be sure not to be too smart for your own good.¡±


    Chen Mobai always behaved upright and proper, after all, he had never done anything dishonest.


    Madam Guo likely tried to tempt him with this Rank-3 Lotus Lamp, but Chen Mobai himself owns a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, and he might even get to control a Rank-4 sword artifact in the future, so he really has no interest in the magic artifacts of the Tianhe Realm.


    If he could thoroughly acquire the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp, Chen Mobai would naturally be willing.


    But if he has to take the slightest risk because of it, it¡¯s absolutely not acceptable.


    This matter also relates to the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, which are assets that the two ancestors care the most about at this stage.


    Furthermore, he found the lamp stand of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp in the storage bag of the Yinming Messenger from Huangquan Road. If this really involves Ghost Cultivators, it¡¯s better to clear himself of this matter.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yu Lian reported the matter about the talisman paper and Madam Guo to the Vice Minister of the Spirit Vein Department, Deng Dajin, during his performance review the next day.


    As the Minister of the Spirit Vein Department, Ma Gang, was leading the disciples to mine Void Stones for the past two years, Deng Dajin was the one in charge of the Spirit Vein Department.


    Since the matter was about the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, Deng Dajin had no hesitation and directly took Yu Lian to Shenmu Hall to report it to Chu Zuoshu.


    Not long after, a spiritual talisman summoning Chen Mobai arrived.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be back tonight.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan, before he himself went to Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do you know Madam Guo?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never met her, but I saw with my own eyes that she was killed by Senior Brother Feiming, however, her corpse mysteriously disappeared after the battle. I have reported this to the previous Sect Leader, Meng Hong.¡±


    Chen Mobai told the truth, Zhou Shengqing himself had personally gone to Lonely Spirit Ridge at that time, but he didn¡¯t find anything unusual.


    ¡°Do you know what is on this talisman paper?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu trusted Chen Mobai, so after asking that, he directly moved on to the main point, unfolding the bright yellow talisman paper that Yu Lian had handed over.


    ¡°I do. It¡¯s the artifact that Senior Brother Feiming used, which I now possess.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the complete Five-Colored Lotus Lamp from his storage bag.


    ¡°Oh, the artifact that Junior Brother Chen has is even more complete than the one drawn on the talisman paper.¡±


    After carefully comparing the two, Chu Zuoshu noticed the difference. The lamp on the talisman paper didn¡¯t have a stand.


    ¡°I found this lamp stand in the storage bag of the Ghost Cultivator I killed. It matched perfectly with the lamp. However, at first, this lamp stand appeared at the auction of the Star Heaven Chamber of Commerce¡­ Could this be related to the Ghost Cultivator from Huangquan Road?¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely loyal to the sect; he reported the matter of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp to Chu Zuoshu without any concealment.


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s face turned solemn after hearing it.


    ¡°I will report this to the ancestors.¡±


    As the matter concerned Huangquan Road, Chu Zuoshu was uncertain and could only report it to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue again.


    Soon, the two ancestors descended in the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°This is¡­ a Soul Summoning Lamp?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Zhou Shengqing recognized the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp and, with a trace of hesitation, said. Chen Mobai immediately respectfully handed it to him for a closer look.


    ¡°No mistake, it should be the Soul Summoning Lamp, a must-have for transforming into Ghost and Corpse Cultivators.¡±


    After both Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue inspected it, they confirmed the origins of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp and nodded in agreement.


    Cultivators at the end of their lifespan, some of them deeply reluctant to undergo reincarnation, decide to tread the path of evil.


    Among these, Ghost and Corpse Cultivation are evil methods that allow one to keep their Divine Sense and forcefully remain in the world.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, the success rate of transforming from a Qi Practitioner into a Ghost or Corpse Cultivator is extremely low.


    After countless experiments by many Cultivators, the artifact, Soul Summoning Lamp was researched and created.


    Before transforming into a Ghost or Corpse Cultivator, one¡¯s soul is hidden in the lamp, maintaining the imperishability of the Heart Flame, Soul Spirit, and Divine Sense.


    For instance, Feiming was able to endure the long process of his flesh transforming into a zombie because of this Soul Summoning Lamp.


    ¡°This thing is invaluable for those old guys.¡±

 Chapter 620 - Chapter 620: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_2

    Chapter 620: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_2


    Zhou Shengqing held the Soul Summoning Lamp, involuntarily marveling at it.


    This item was essentially a Demon Dao artifact, which was prohibited in most parts of the Eastern Region.


    For instance, in the Eastern Land Domain, everyone regards themselves as upright and honorable. Ghost and corpse cultivators are generally shunned by all. Hence, items like the Soul Summoning Lamp can only be bought and sold in secret.


    Outside of the Eastern Land Domain, things weren¡¯t as strict.


    ¡°Many old timers nearing the end of their lifespan would secretly travel to East Li to purchase a Soul Summoning Lamp. There are many Demon Sect artifact refining experts over there who make a hefty amount of Spirit Stones and accumulate resources by selling these artifacts.¡±


    If Zhou Shengqing had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by the end of his lifespan, he had also considered taking this route.


    ¡°Ancestor, since the Soul Summoning Lamp is so precious, why not let the sect keep it.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately spoke up with righteous indignation. After all, he felt that he probably didn¡¯t need the Soul Summoning Lamp anymore.


    ¡°If I were to use a Soul Summoning Lamp, I¡¯d prefer a Rank-4 one. Moreover, the usage method of each Soul Summoning Lamp varies.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing shook his head, handing the Soul Summoning Lamp in his hand to Chen Mobai. He was on the verge of Perfect Core Formation and a Rank-3 Soul Summoning Lamp could not fully accommodate his entire mind and soul.


    ¡°Ancestor, if Mrs. Guo might be involved with the Road to the Underworld, how should we handle it?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about this matter again.


    ¡°You go and meet her. However, what ghosts are best at is creating clones, so don¡¯t hold out too much hope.¡±


    With Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt assured.


    In Shenmu Hall, on a piece of bright yellow talisman paper, he wrote an address and lit it on fire. In no time, the paper was burned to ashes and the content on it was revealed to those who knew how to see.


    ¡°Jade Stone Mountain!¡±


    Chen Mobai chose the location where the Guo family¡¯s Spirit Veins were situated, a place he had visited when he was touring Green Phoenix Market last time.


    Mrs. Guo was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guo family. After she died, the Guo family began to decline sharply. They were already selling their properties, preparing to flee to the Five Elements Sect.


    However, after Chen Mobai killed Hong Xu and the Divine Wood Sect swept the Loose Repair Alliance, the Guo family found that most of their major enemies had disappeared.


    Another enemy, a powerful man named Dou Yewang, seemed to have gotten wind of something and directly fled to the neighboring Snow Country.


    The Guo family had managed to weather the storm but had still sent a portion of their family core to the Five Elements Sect to join Guo Boyear. However, some elders and family branches hadn¡¯t left and were still holding up the name of the Guo family in the Founding Nation.


    Chen Mobai, equipped with a Body-Protecting talisman given by Zhou Shengqing, took a teleportation array to the Green Phoenix Market. After inspecting his shops, he arrived at the Guo family¡¯s Jade Stone Mountain under the cover of night.


    This Jade Stone Mountain had been sold by the Guo family to various powerful forces in Green Phoenix Market, with the Divine Wood Sect holding the largest share.


    As the guard of the Founding Nation from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai easily entered the place.


    However, he didn¡¯t release the restrictions. He wanted to see what this mysterious entity, acting in the name of Mrs. Guo, was capable of.


    When the moon had reached its zenith¡­


    Standing on a peak, Chen Mobai suddenly changed his expression. Facing the white fog seeping out of the ground before his eyes, his eyes sparkled brilliantly.


    Under his Void Spirit Eye, he saw a mysterious divine consciousness fluctuation that transcended physical restrictions. It passed through the large formation of Jade Stone Mountain, drilled into it along the Spirit Vein energy, and consolidated in front of him into a voluptuous, pale-skinned young woman.


    ¡°May I ask your name?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked politely.


    ¡°I¡¯ve forgotten the name I was known by before I went to sleep. You can just call me Mrs. Guo.¡±


    A slightly husky voice with a magnetic quality echoed. Chen Mobai was a bit skeptical if the person in front of him was really a ghost.


    ¡°What do you need from me?¡±


    ¡°I have lost my memory. I suspect that lamp could be of help to me, so I want to take it back.¡±


    After Mrs. Guo finished speaking, she reached out her right hand towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t agree to that. I went through a great deal to collect this Soul Summoning Lamp.¡±


    During this conversation, Chen Mobai took out the fully assembled Five-Colored Lotus Lamp. Mrs. Guo¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately extended her hand towards the lamp.


    With a hiss!


    Chen Mobai swung the finger of his right hand lightly, and a sword light, splashed with the flames of Qingyang Fire, severed Mrs. Guo¡¯s right hand.


    However, even though the severed fog hand was dissipating under the burn of the flame, Mrs. Guo calmly differentiated into ten more fog ghost claws and scratched towards Chen Mobai from all directions.


    Although Chen Mobai had many ways to deal with this, he felt it was better to conserve energy since he had a backer this time.


    He immediately crushed the talisman in his sleeve.


    In a short while, a streak of green light lit up in the sky and Zhou Shengqing, who had been waiting long ago, charged over.


    When the Golden Core Ancestor made his move, it was naturally extraordinary.


    Five fingers splayed, with a move called Drawing Ground into Prison, he directly extracted Mrs. Guo who had turned into white fog and wanted to escape by seeping into the ground.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Mrs. Guo, who was imprisoned in the wood cage, just frowned and broke into pieces of Bone Jade.


    ¡°It was indeed just a clone after all.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had a gloomy face as he dispelled the wooden prison and with a breath of flame, burned the shattered Bone Jade into nothingness.


    ¡°Ancestor, can we confirm that she is a ghost cultivator from the Road to the Underworld?¡±


    ¡°More likely than not. But it¡¯s also possible that it¡¯s some old timer who had a problem during the process of becoming a ghost cultivator. Likely a Golden Core cultivator while alive.¡±

 Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_3

    Chapter 621: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_3


    Zhou Shengqing had only exchanged moves once, but he still acknowledged the strength of Madam Guo quite respectfully. Even though her memories of her previous life were gone, her demeanor and style were extraordinary.


    Chen Mobai mentally estimated it and figured that if he went all out, he should be able to suppress Madam Guo.


    However, the most formidable thing about Ghost Cultivators is that they are no longer bound by their physical bodies. If the key they¡¯re attached to isn¡¯t found, it¡¯s hard to completely obliterate them.


    Last time at the White Moon Market, the Ghost Cultivator was careless. He assumed that killing Chen Mobai, a budding Foundation Establishment cultivator, would be a piece of cake.


    After following Zhou Shengqing back to Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai forgot about Madam Guo.


    Because Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation momentum was getting stronger and stronger.


    Many of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect had already gathered around the Three Divine Trees.


    This is the place in Giant Tree Ridge where the Spiritual Energy is the strongest. Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue each occupied a Divine Tree, and the remaining one, the one key to opening the Divine Tree Secret Realm, was given to Meng Hong.


    ¡°Strange, why is the celestial phenomenon so dreadful during Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai had seen many videos of cultivators at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment stage undergoing Core Formation in the immortal realm, but none of them were like Meng Hong. Over the Divine Tree where he was secluded, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and not only was there a bit of icy rain, but there were also flashes of thunderous flames.


    ¡°Core Formation is seizing the heavens and earth, naturally there is Heavenly Tribulation to obstruct it.¡±


    The one who said this was Hong He. Chen Mobai arrived late, and there was no longer a good location to watch. He saw that the spot where Hong He was had a good view, and only he was there, so he shamelessly went over to squeeze in.


    Seeing it was him, Hong He had no choice.


    ¡°Core Formation also has Heavenly Tribulation?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard his words and was completely baffled.


    ¡°Of course, not only does Core Formation have Heavenly Tribulation, but Nascent Soul Formation, Divinity Transformation, even Ascendance, each stage has Heavenly Tribulation. However, the Three Divine Trees are nature¡¯s Spirit Wood, perfectly compatible with the longevity scripture, they can block most of the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s power.¡±


    Hong He assumed that Chen Mobai was young and hadn¡¯t read any information about Core Formation, so he began to share what he knew.


    Core Formation is already the pinnacle of cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness. It¡¯s an existence that can be revered and referred as an ancestor, and also a peak in the cultivation path.


    Therefore, besides the perfection of one¡¯s internal cultivation, one also needs to endure the test of heaven and earth.


    Generally speaking, cultivators practicing Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques will face Heavenly Fire Tribulation.


    Once they can withstand it, those talented can even comprehend the Dao of Five Elements Reversal, and they don¡¯t need to fear the restraint of fire attributes during Magic Duels.


    ¡°Where does this Heavenly Tribulation come from?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, lining up with his own experiences, he felt like he was getting an idea of the difference between Immortal Realm Core Formation and the Core Formation here.


    ¡°Heavenly Tribulation comes from the heaven and earth, naturally it¡¯s the formation of condensed nature¡¯s spiritual energy.¡±


    Hong He replied with a strange look. This kind of knowledge, even without reading, should be understood from its literal meaning.


    Chen Mobai really is a pure-hearted Sword Cultivator to not know even this!


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in realization, he now roughly knew what the reason was.


    The nature¡¯s spiritual energy of Di Yuan star was all manipulated by the Immortal Realm. Without an energy source, the Heavenly Tribulation naturally couldn¡¯t form.


    So within the Immortal Realm, Core Formation only required perfection of internal cultivation, plus having a peaceful mind and heart, to successfully overcome the interference of Heart Demons.


    In the Immortal Realm, not to mention Core Formation, even Nascent Soul Formation doesn¡¯t have the concept of Heavenly Tribulation.

    As for rther Divinity Transformation had a tribulation, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t looked into it and wasn¡¯t sure.


    But it should probably also not have it.


    It seems, in the future it would be better to undergo Core Formation in the Immortal Realm side.


    While thinking about this, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of another problem.


    If he successfully undergoes Core Formation in the Immortal Realm, then comes to the Tianhe Realm, will it trigger Heavenly Tribulation?

 Chapter 622 - Chapter 622: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_1

    Chapter 622: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_1


    Chen Mobai recalled the words spoken by the girl from The Divine Machine Mansion when she calculated his fortune.


    He would face three tribulations during his Core Formation.


    One of them was the Core Formation Heaven Tribulation, he had been puzzled about what it could be, but now he had come to understand.


    In other words, to avoid this tribulation, he simply needed to form a core in the immortal gate.


    There were three Gold Core tribulations, and he had already passed two of them in this way.


    He only needed to achieve Perfection in his internal cultivation, ensuring that his Divine Sense could control the process of Gold Core condensation, and not being disturbed by the Heart Demon. There would essentially be no big issue.


    While Chen Mobai was thinking, the dark clouds above the Everlife Wood turned into a dark red color, and in the blink of an eye, they had ignited into fierce Flames. This was truly a fire in the sky.


    People like Hong He had already stood up, watching the strands of orange-red flames falling from the sky.


    The figure of Meng Hong emerged, his entire body emanating pure Sacred Tree Divine Light. Using the Rank-4 Everlife Wood beneath his feet as a core, he evolved a Large Formation.


    Beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light shot up into the sky, colliding with the Heavenly Tribulation Fire. Due to their opposing attributes, the Sacred Tree Divine Light began to be ignited inch by inch, disappearing.


    However, Meng Hong used his geographical advantage to borrow from the Everlife Wood and evolved the large formation, as long as his Divine Sense was sufficient, he could constantly generate the Sacred Tree Divine Light.


    What¡¯s more, as time progressed, the beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light had become deep green after being refined by the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, they no longer broke at the slightest touch.


    ¡°It seems that there won¡¯t be any issues crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, right?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°That might not necessarily be the case, this is just the beginning, a typical Heavenly Tribulation lasts for several days and nights. Now is the time when Elder Meng has his most abundant energy, so the Heavenly Tribulation is naturally nothing to worry about, but the problem is whether he can last until the end.¡±


    However, Hong He shook his head and voiced his concerns.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help showing a worried expression.


    At that moment, two startling auras blossomed on the other two Everlife Woods, transforming into two big green suns rising into the sky, shooting outside the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Which fellow practitioner is prying?¡±


    A cold voice from Zhou Shengqing resonated, it seemed like unexpected people had come at this critical moment of Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are here only to watch. We don¡¯t mean anything else.¡±


    Two Spiritual Lights flowered in mid-air, turning into two familiar figures. The one who was speaking was Nan Shidao, while the one beside him was Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Leave immediately, otherwise I will take it as a provocation. After Meng Hong forms his core, our Divine Wood Sect will surely go all-out to flatten your Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were icy cold. A Divine Tree in the Giant Tree Ridge lit up with a green light, wrapping around his body like a stream of deep green air, subtly forming lightning, making him look like a Wood God.


    ¡°Hehehe, alright, alright.¡±


    Nan Shidao just chuckled, without any intentions of actually battling Zhou Shengqing, who was the top master in the Eastern Wilderness.


    He and Ji Zhenshi exchanged a glance, then backed away silently, leaving the range of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t trust them at all. After a brief discussion, the former followed Ji Zhenshi and left, watching them fly away from the territory of Jian Country, while the latter continued to guard the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Though we know it¡¯s a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, we still have no choice but to comply.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed when he saw the strongest disciple of the sect, Zhou Shengqing, being led away by Ji Zhenshi. Yet, as the two who held deep grudges against the Divine Wood Sect, they would, understandably, stop at nothing to prevent Meng Hong from succeeding in his Core Formation.


    Therefore, Zhou Shengqing had to be cautious.


    ¡°The base of our sect is still insufficient. If we had a Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in town, these insignificant clowns would not dare to show up.¡±


    Hong He stated something in a calm tone which left Chen Mobai at a loss for a response.


    ¡°Elder Meng¡¯s Core Formation has been affected by this, and the success rate has probably dropped by another 20%¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a worried expression and sighed when he heard this.


    Fortunately, Ji Zhenshi and the others did not dare to completely turn against the Divine Wood Sect yet, so they stopped in the territory of the neighboring Snow Country rather after they left Jian Country borders.


    Zhou Shengqing didn¡¯t pursue them into Snow Country, as it was the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace. However, Kong Lingling acted as though she didn¡¯t know that two Core Formation old ancestors had come to her territory. She let Ji Zhenshi and Nan Shidao stand at the border between Jian Country and Snow Country, facing Zhou Shengqing.


    [I must seize any opportunity to obliterate these two factions].


    Zhou Shengqing was looking at his two old opponents and calculating on launching the second sect war in his heart.


    At Giant Tree Ridge, however, Fu Zongjue encountered two strange opponents.


    This was a Core Formation Ghost Cultivator, who occupied a Ghost Fetus in the Womb. His body was shrouded in shadow. Beside him was Mrs. Guo, whom Chen Mobai recognized very well.


    Fu Zongjue remained still and directly activated the giant formation¡¯s power.

    But these two Ghost Cultivators didn¡¯t make any move either. They just stood outside the large formation, silently observing the spectacle of Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.


    Meng Hong was condensing his Gold Core on one side, hoping to transform his Fake Core into a True Elixir, while on the other side, he was controlling the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation to resist the Fire and Thunder that fell from the sky. It was very tough.


    Chen Mobai and the others watched Meng Hong swallow one treasured material and Elixir after another into his body, including an Immortality Mushroom among them.


    With the aid of Elixir and geographical advantage, Meng Hong finally made it to the final step of condensing the Elixir. They saw a golden light emitting from the Qi Sea area of his Dantian.

 Chapter 623 - Chapter 623: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _2

    Chapter 623: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _2


    The golden light penetrated his flesh, illuminating the void around him. The heaven-shaking tribulation fire seemed to lose its energy under the thorough illumination of the golden light, and started to extinguish.


    ¡°Did it work?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help expressing his surprise and delight.


    ¡°Half success. There are still the Heart Demon and the final Heavenly Tribulation.¡±


    Hong He sighed. Meng Hong had used all his trump cards, but only succeeded in forming his Gold Core.


    This Core Formation is basically impossible to succeed now!


    As expected, on the fourth day, Meng Hong suddenly turned pale, a wisp of black energy flashed between his brows, and the golden light in his Dantian Qi Sea suddenly dimmed, eventually disappearing.


    And the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, which was originally violent and seemed to be brewing a final powerful attack, seemed to have received a signal, vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye.


    The sky became clear and bright again.


    However, the mood of the Divine Wood Sect was gloomy.


    After Meng Hong failed in his Core Formation, the Ghost Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage did not stay long and immediately left with Madame Guo from above Giant Tree Ridge.


    In a short while, a gloomy Zhou Shengqing came back.


    The two ancestors went straight to Meng Hong¡¯s Everlife Wood, fed him a healing elixir, and then called Chu Zuoshu over.


    Afterwards, Chu Zuoshu dismissed all Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The Sect Leader failed in his Core Formation. His body needs to recuperate. Let me take care of him.¡±


    However, E Yun did not leave, expressing his thoughts to Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°Mu Yuan will take care of Elder Brother Meng. However, since you¡¯re so determined, let you two brothers stay to take care of him for a while.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu thought for a while then agreed, Zhou Wangshen also immediately echoed his opinion.


    Therefore, all three Foundation Establishment disciples of Meng Hong were left behind.


    Chen Mobai, along with Hong He, followed the Sect Leader¡¯s command and left the place.


    ¡°Core Formation is difficult indeed.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who was following them, couldn¡¯t help but sigh heavily half way through, having lost confidence in his own Core Formation.


    ¡°In the East Barbarians, if you give them enough Spirit Stones, the Three Great Sects are willing to protect the Loose Cultivators in their Core Formation. If a chance arises in the future, I may not be forming my Core in Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Hong He suddenly said this.


    The three major sects in the Eastern Yi Territory, each led by a Nascent Soul elder ancestor, provided locations for loose cultivators for Core Formation, which was a major source of revenue for them.


    ¡°The main issue is that there are too many rivals in our sect in the Eastern Wilderness. If all rivals could be swept away, there would be no problem at all.¡±


    Chen Mobai pinpointed the crux of the problem succinctly.


    The Divine Wood Sect had been too smooth sailing recently, neither Meng Hong nor the two ancestors expected that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to doorstep.


    Even though there was no real action taken, it had created enough intimidation for Meng Hong.


    Core Formation is essentially a precarious process. After Ji Zhenshi¡¯s tactic and the disturbance from two ghost cultivators, it was only natural that Meng Hong failed in his Core Formation.


    However, it was likely because they were too high-profile in calling back E Yun and others these days, which led outsiders to know about Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation timing.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, after our Core Formation, do you think it¡¯s better to eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak first or Liu Jia Mountain is easier?¡±


    At this moment, Hong He brought up a surprising topic to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Red Senior Brother has so much confidence in Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°With my talent, there¡¯s a good chance that I¡¯d succeed in Core Formation. If you fail in yours, I¡¯d be very disappointed.¡± Hong He¡¯s bold statement left Yuan Chiye unsure of how to react.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s get rid of Mountain Shaker Peak first.¡±


    Chen Mobai considered for a while before giving this answer.


    ¡°First eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak, then Liu Jia Mountain. By that time, half of the spiritual vein lands of the Northern Eastern Wasteland will fall into the palm of our Divine Wood Sect. Controlling all the Spiritual Land bordering Cloud Dream, your idea indeed coincides with mine.¡±


    ¡°After taking down Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, when should we make a move on the Five Elements Sect?¡±


    As Hong He was talking confidently, Chen Mobai abruptly asked a question that made him choke.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid the Five Elements Sect wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with.¡±


    ¡°If both of us, along with our Heavenly Spiritual Root Junior Sister Yin, succeed in our Core Formation, then our sect will have five Nascent Souls. Moreover, if you include Uncle Mo from Golden Cliff, won¡¯t regaining the orthodoxy of Five Elements be a piece of cake?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in return. Although the Eastern Wilderness was known as impoverished in Eastern Region, the resources of the spiritual veins had far exceeded any Daoist Academy of the Immortal Gate. If one could fully control it, they could cultivate several Nascent Souls.


    If capable, he wishes to unify the entire Eastern Wilderness with the power of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Junior Brother has a point.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hong He hadn¡¯t thought so far initially, but after being pointed out by Chen Mobai, he suddenly felt this arrangement plausible.


    Also, his cultivation requires the tremendous water region of Cloud Dream. If he could truly unify the Eastern Wilderness, not to mention Core Formation, even Nascent Soul Formation would be a possibility.


    ¡°After eliminating Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, why not get rid of Snow Blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley first and then target Five Elements Sect?¡±


    Hong He thought for a while, revised his plan, feeling that the Five Elements Sect was the strongest, and perhaps had the groundwork laid down by the Hun Yuan elder, it would be better to leave it till last.


    ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that after we eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, the Five Elements Sect might attack us before we start on Snow Blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.¡±

 Chapter 624 - Chapter 624: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_3

    Chapter 624: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_3


    Chen Mobai, however, shook his head. If he were the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, and he discovered that the Divine Wood Sect had more than three Golden Core Cultivators, he would definitely start forming alliances and playing politics first. At least, he would support Shake Mountain and Liu Jia Mountain and push the Divine Wood Sect into the mud pit of a sect war.


    ¡°We can only take one step at a time. Or, all the Golden Core Cultivators can go to the outer regions, and when Sister Yin forms her core, Brother Chen and I can return. By then, we can reveal five Golden Cores together and sweep through the Eastern Wilderness with the power of thunder,¡± said Red River, revealing a plot.


    Chen Mobai felt that this strategy was not bad, so he sat down halfway with him, pulled out the map of the Eastern Wilderness, and the two of them began to deduce the fastest and most efficient way to sweep across the Eastern Wilderness given the situation of the Divine Wood Sect having five Golden Cores.


    Yuan Chiye, who was on the side, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.


    He never thought that these two could come to a consensus!


    Over the next few days.


    Whenever Red River had free time, he came to find Chen Mobai. The latter also worried about Meng Hong¡¯s injuries after his failed core formation, so he stayed a few more days in Divine Wood City.


    Half a month later, E Yun brought some good news.


    Although Meng Hong failed in core formation, he didn¡¯t forcibly push through. Coupled with the characteristics of the Everlife Sutra, after two or three years of recuperation, he should basically recover.


    However, after this incident, Meng Hong was getting old and his elemental energy had been greatly damaged. He had no more chances to form a core again.


    If he still insisted on making a breakthrough to form a core, he could only succeed and failure was not an option.


    If he failed again, he would basically die.


    ¡°Master is in a good mood. He said that at least his core forming attempt revealed those people with evil intentions towards the sect,¡± said E Yun, while feeling regretful. Without his core formation attempt, he would never have known that so many financial forces were coveting the Divine Wood Sect in secret.


    ¡°As you are regularly stationed outside, you need to be extra careful,¡± said Chen Mobai. He himself was guarding Jian Country and was mostly on the Giant Tree Ridge or at the Immortal Gate. Having cultivated the Sword Sha, he could resist the Golden Core cultivators and he was safe.


    But it was different for E Yun. They frequently had to go to Yun Meng Ze, the most dangerous and chaotic place in the Eastern Wilderness. If they were targeted by ill-intentioned people, they were likely to face heavy losses.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our Uncle Nu Jiang is at Yun Meng Zhe, and he has a good relationship with Elder Zhou and Elder Fu. If we encounter any danger, we can seek refuge in his Storm Shelter,¡± reassured E Yun.


    Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing that.


    ¡°As I am entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding Yun Country and now that our master is out of danger, I need to leave the sect. In the future, Little Junior Brother will take care of our master, and I hope Brother Chen will also look after him whenever he has time,¡± E Yun said.


    ¡°Definitely!¡±


    Even without E Yun¡¯s request, Chen Mobai planned to visit Meng Hong after a while.


    This former sect leader was quite admirable to him.


    E Yun left with Red River.


    After the two left, no one else came to visit.


    Yu Lian was sent back to the Lonely Spirits Ridge by Chu Zuoshu, but it seemed that Fu Zongjue had given him a puppet body to take with him this time. After all, the Void Stone Mine was incredibly precious, and that place was known to ghost cultivators. It was better to be safe.


    Half a month later, Chen Mobai brought the rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice that he had ripened with Yi Wood Divine Thunder to visit Meng Hong.


    ¡°You came to visit, there was no need to bring gifts,¡± said Meng Hong who had already moved out of where the Everlife Wood was and was now living in the courtyard where he usually went fishing.


    This place was also one of the rank-3 spiritual lands in the Giant Tree Ridge. With small mountains, streams, forests and flower seas, it was considered a scenic spot within the sect.


    ¡°These spiritual rice restore elemental energy. Elder should eat more to get well sooner,¡± said Chen Mobai as he handed over the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice that he had sawed one by one.


    Mu Yuan took it and thanked him before leaving to cook the rice.


    ¡°Oh, you actually managed to grow rank-2 spiritual rice. This thing only matures once every ten years. Except for the spiritual vein part where the sect insists on keeping a hundred acres, the other cultivators in the sect don¡¯t really bother to plant it,¡± said Meng Hong who was very familiar with the scale of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice as a former sect leader.


    The sect has been heavily investing in the cultivation of spiritual rice in order to diversify the supply channels and avoid being choked by the large trading companies. Yet, a few Qi Practitioners are willing to grow it.


    On the other hand, rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, which needs careful cultivation for ten years before it can be harvested, is hardly willingly planted by any Qi Practitioners.


    The reason is that Qi Practitioners, who take on tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, are usually thinking about earning a fortune in a short period of time.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The cultivation of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes too long.


    Besides, they can harvest more by cultivating spiritual medicine in ten years.


    ¡°I have improved some varieties and bred Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice, which also belongs to rank-2, but has slightly worse taste and only takes six years to mature. I also crossbred Qing Kuo Spirit Rice and Jade Bud Spirit Rice. Three of those samples have grown into rank-2. If my cultivation of the latter is successful, I am confident that I can reduce the maturity period of rank-2 spirit rice to three years and thus achieve freedom in spirit rice production.¡±


    Although the sect¡¯s higher-ups, including Chu Zuoshu, also knew the importance of spirit rice, they didn¡¯t know how to change the current situation.


    Chen Mobai wanted to plant spirit rice on the Giant Tree Ridge, but as he was just one person, he could only do so much. Today when he was visiting Meng Hong, as a former sect leader, he knew all the difficulties and could help Chen Mobai analyze whether they could be solved.

 Chapter 625 - Chapter 625: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) \_4

    Chapter 625: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _4


    ¡°Indeed, the variety of rice is key. If you truly managed to improve and develop a Rank-2 variant of Spiritual Rice that matures every three years, in perhaps ten years, every Foundation Establishment cultivator in our sect might be able to partake in consuming Rank-2 Spiritual Rice on a monthly basis,¡± Meng Hong said with a sigh.


    At present, the Divine Wood Sect has 78 Foundation Establishment cultivators, while there are only one hundred acres dedicated to Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    This hundred acres of Spirit Rice are set aside specifically for this purpose without any rotation. Only after the harvest does the cycle reset and rejuvenation begins.


    That means every ten years, the Divine Wood Sect only harvests one hundred acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Each acre yields approximately three hundred jin on average.


    If we distribute it evenly among all members, each person receives roughly forty jin per year.


    Such a yield is far from sufficient to last a Foundation Establishment cultivator ten years. For an average Body Refining Cultivator, it would likely only last a month.


    However, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they become aware of the benefits that Spirit Rice brings to their bodies. Consequently, given the chance, they will include Spirit Rice in their meals whenever possible.


    Once the sect issued Rank-2 Spirit Rice ran out, they would buy more from the market or trading houses outside, switching to Rank-1 Spirit Rice if they couldn¡¯t afford the Rank-2 variety. Cultivators at least wouldn¡¯t find it necessary to resort to skimping by with Fasting Pills like Qi Practitioners do.


    Therefore, companies like the Star Heaven Co. are able to amass copious amounts of spirit stones in the Eastern Wasteland each year, all through selling Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    As for Rank-3 Spirit Rice, there¡¯s no need to mention it, even Gold Core elders don¡¯t scrimp on their consumption. Even if the sect as a whole is in dire straits, the portions for the elders would not be reduced.


    Firms and companies have taken away most superior-grade Spirit Stones from the Eastern Wasteland through the sales of Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    One jin of Rank-1 Spirit Rice costs one low-grade Spirit Stone, Rank-2 Spirit Rice costs one mid-grade Spirit Stone per jin, while Rank-3 Spirit Rice costs one high-grade Spirit Stone per jin.


    ¡°Let¡¯s conquer the challenge of Rank-2 Spirit Rice first. As long as we cultivate more new rice species, individual varieties may evolve into Rank-3, followed by large-scale cultivation of these varieties. This could potentially lead to Rank-3 Spirit Rice infesting the entire Giant Tree Ridge,¡± said Chen Mobai. As a top-tier scholar in the field of agricultural studies at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mo Bai is confident of making breakthroughs in cultivating the Rank-3 Spirit Rice at Giant Tree Ridge, a place brimming with Spiritual Energy.


    However, before running, one must learn to walk. The Divine Wood sect does not even produce enough Rank-2 Spiritual Rice at the moment.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have enough land for growing Spirit Rice. The majority of the Rank-2 and Rank-3 Spirit Land on Giant Tree Ridge is used to cultivate medicinal plants. The sect wouldn¡¯t give up this vast market solely to plant more Spirit Rice,¡± Meng Hong sighed with resignation.


    People can go without Spirit Rice and sustain themselves on Fasting Pills, but if medicinal herbs become unavailable, many people¡¯s cultivation will stagnate, which would result in turmoil in the sect.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the sect possess huge swathes of wasteland? If it can be cultivated, it could potentially add thousands of acres of Spirit Fields,¡± said Chen Mobai. Having served in the Spirit Plant Department for two years, he was well-aware that Giant Tree Ridge was sparsely populated. Apart from the medicine fields in the plains, a lot of Spirit Land was left to waste due to the lack of manpower. When Chen Mobai first joined the sect, he even reclaimed ten acres of Spirit Field by himself.


    A good example would be the land of Xiao Nanshan. If he hadn¡¯t occupied that place, it would still be a wasteland.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have enough manpower. Even if the sect ordered people to reclaim the wasteland, maintaining and managing the land afterwards would require a Spirit Plant Master. For a few thousand acres of Spirit Fields, we would need at least hundreds of entry-level Spirit Plant Masters. The combined strength of the entire Spirit Plant Department wouldn¡¯t suffice,¡± said Meng Hong, shaking his head. He agreed with Chen Mobai¡¯s idea, but saw this obstacle as insurmountable, making the plan merely a pipe dream.


    ¡°Instead of relying on manpower, why don¡¯t we use puppets?¡± Chen Mobai suggested, leaving Meng Hong puzzled.

    On the fairy side, they have long ago mechanized their entire spirit-plant management system. Manual planting and cultivating on a large scale have already become a rare practice.


    The fairy¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters mainly focus their efforts on cultivating and farming new plant species, like Wen Ren Snow Vei¡¯s new form of tea, or Chen Mobai¡¯s hybrid Spirit Rice through agricultural studies.


    Chen Mobai believed it was necessary to apply the successful methods of farming from the fairy side to benefit the Divine Wood Sect.


    Meng Hong, who felt refreshed after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal, was fascinated by the future he had depicted.


    ¡°Tell me more!¡±

 Chapter 626 - Chapter 626: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_1

    Chapter 626: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_1


    On the side of the Immortal Sect, in the great plains, a single person can manage thousands of acres of Spirit Fields.


    The reason this is possible relies on all kinds of powerful Agricultural Mechanic Artifacts.


    From tilling the soil, fertilizing, sowing, to the final harvest, all you need to do is drive the machine, and it can be easily done.


    You don¡¯t need to buy these machines yourself, you just need to apply to the Immortal Sect to queue for renting them.


    Of course, the yield of large-scale planting can¡¯t match meticulous cultivation, and the condition of Spirit Fields must be great plains. In places like hills and mountains, the role of large machines would be greatly reduced.


    Giant Tree Ridge happens to be a hilly region, and the best central plains area has been developed into medicinal fields that plant the most precious drugs of the Divine Wood Sect.


    But for cultivators, altering mountains and changing rivers is not a difficult task.


    ¡°Your idea is to flatten this area on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    After listening to this, Meng Hong pulled out a map from the courtyard and pointed to a large area centered around Xiao Nanshan. There are many abandoned Spirit Fields here, but due to standing hills and mountain ranges, these Spirit Fields are divided into chunks, scattered, and disorganized.


    But if we follow Chen Mobai¡¯s plan and remove all the mountains here to flatten them, indeed, we can reorganize to create vast plains of Spirit Fields.


    ¡°That¡¯s my idea, what do you think, Elder Meng?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be feasible, because flattening a mountain directly can only be barely achieved by the two old ancestors. Moreover, the Spirit Veins in various places of Giant Tree Ridge have been put into the Array Flags of the Mountain Protection Array. If you want to move the mountain, the Large Formation has to be reset, which is too much work, and the three temples and twelve departments will not agree.¡±


    Although Meng Hong was very tempted by the Spirit Rice planted in the plains as described by Chen Mobai, after his own analysis, he felt that this task was almost impossible to complete.


    If it¡¯s just moving one or two mountains, considering Chen Mobai¡¯s status and position, probably both old ancestors and Chu Zuoshu would turn a blind eye.


    But if they want to flatten all hundreds of mountains on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge, that¡¯s going to affect the source of Spirit Veins in the whole Giant Tree Ridge. Even the two old ancestors wouldn¡¯t dare to do that, and they can¡¯t either.


    ¡°In that case, we can only make do, and redevelop the hilly areas into terraces. However, if it¡¯s not a plain, the role of machinery will be limited and we must increase manpower. There is no need for Spirit Plant Masters, just farmers who know how to plant crops will do.¡±


    ¡°You mean, mortals?¡±


    Meng Hong, who has also been the Sect Leader, understood Chen Mobai¡¯s words immediately.


    ¡°Yes, although there are quite a few mortals in the sect, I feel that there are still too few. We don¡¯t need too many people. Each mortal is responsible for three or four acres which is fine. I calculated that approximately one thousand mortals are needed.¡±


    There are mortals in Giant Tree Ridge, most of them are around Divine Wood City, mainly managing all kinds of medicinal fields under the leadership of Sect Disciples, because the number of Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect is insufficient.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s plan for mortals to guard the Spirit Fields and plant Spirit Rice is also learning from others.


    Zhuo Ming hires dozens of farmers every year to help watch over the Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan and Small Yang Ridge.


    These farmers don¡¯t need to know the techniques of Spirit Planting. They just need to watch it every day, notify Luo Yixuan when there¡¯s a lack of water, and notify Zhuo Ming when there¡¯s any disease or pest infestation.


    Zhuo Ming will come over in due course for other tasks like sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.


    ¡°If we use mortals to look after thousands of acres of Spirit Fields, it would solve one problem, but so many Spirit Fields need to be sown at the same time, I¡¯m afraid that just relying on your disciples, it may not be feasible.¡±


    As Meng Hong thought, there are only a few days each year for sowing and harvesting. Relying just on Chen Mobai and his disciples to develop hills into terraces and to sow, he couldn¡¯t figure out a feasible solution.


    ¡°Recently, I obtained three types of puppet blueprints from the Talent Tree of Longevity Sect ¡ª one is a sowing puppet, one is a stone-breaking earth-moving puppet specifically for developing terraces, and the other is a Harvesting Puppet. Just put Spirit Stones in them, and even mortals can operate them freely.¡±


    As a puppet genius, Chen Mobai had thoroughly researched the combination of Agricultural Studies and puppets in the past, and had all the agricultural puppets at his fingertips.


    But as it was too advanced, he decided to attribute it to the name of the Longevity Sect in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After all, the sect¡¯s top management knew about his amazing talent and that he had obtained the true inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper, drawing the rough sketches of the three types of puppets in front of Meng Hong, who was full of admiration after seeing them.

    ¡°This is really ingenious, a masterpiece of the heavens!¡±


    The research on machinery and artifacts from the Immortal Sect far surpasses that of the Tianhe Realm. But due to a scarcity of Spirit Stones, most of these machines and artifacts are only owned by major agricultural societies. In places like Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown, Green Mountain Village, it¡¯s basically meticulous hand cultivation.


    The main reason is that there are too many cultivators in the Immortal Sect and there is an excess of labor.


    But it¡¯s completely different here in the Eastern Wilderness. Although there are many cultivators, basically everyone is busy with cultivation. Very few are willing to farm, so Chen Mobai thought of using Agricultural puppets as a replacement, and then let mortals operate them.


    In this way, the thousands of acres of scattered Spiritual Lands on the south side of the Giant Tree Ridge can be gradually developed. If everything goes according to his plan, in the end, in addition to the original desolate Spirit Fields, about six to seven thousand acres of terraced fields could be developed.

 Chapter 627 - Chapter 627: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_2

    Chapter 627: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_2


    By then, all the spirit fields could be connected to form a continuous stretch, possibly breaking through the ten thousand acres mark.


    If all these spirit fields were to cultivate spirit rice, not to mention Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even if there were three thousand Qi Practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai could allow them to have five meals of spirit rice a day and still be plentiful.


    ¡°That¡¯s a good plan, but the creation of these three types of puppets also requires talented puppet masters. I¡¯m not sure if our sect¡¯s Puppet Department, which is more style than substance, could produce satisfactory puppets.¡±


    Although the Puppet Department is one of the twelve divisions, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s puppetry inheritance only has one complete system which is the combat type puppet based on the Immortality Sutra.


    From the rank-1 Red Sun Puppets to the rank-2 Blue Sun Puppets, and then to the rank-3 Golden Sun Puppets, all use spiritual wood from Giant Tree Ridge as raw materials.


    If Fu Zongjue hadn¡¯t once been the head of the Puppet Department and had a soft spot for it, Meng Hong would have scrapped this lowest ranking department among the twelve a few decades ago.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as the Puppet Department is willing to provide some people to assist, I have a bit of knowledge on puppet creation.¡±


    If Chen Mobai wanted to convert the entire hilly region in the south of Giant Tree Ridge into terraces, he would certainly require a considerable amount of agricultural puppets.


    He alone would definitely be unable to achieve it.


    Luckily, the force behind him is a rather powerful sect.


    Even if the Puppet Department has been lagging behind yearly, at least there are still dozens of puppet masters available.


    Chen Mobai gave advice to Li Yixian and thus owes a favor to the Puppet Department. However, if he wanted to mobilize all the top experts from the Puppet Department to assist in creating puppets, that favor would not be enough.


    Moreover, the task of opening up the whole southern part of the Giant Tree Ridge is a massive one. Despite being the future of the sect, Chen Mobai is still too young and not considered dependable enough in the eyes of the two elder ancestors.


    If he could get Meng Hong to help, things would certainly work out smoothly.


    ¡°You should just concentrate on your cultivation, and strive to achieve Core Formation as soon as possible. That¡¯s the greatest contribution to the sect. Why must you put in all this hard work?¡±


    At this point, Mu Yuan had steamed the Jade Bamboo spirit rice that Chen Mobai brought. Meng Hong picked up a chopstick full, split it and ate while expressing his feelings.


    ¡°Even with individual strength, if one reaches Nascent Soul Formation, at most it would elevate the Divine Wood Sect to the peak of the Five Elements Sect. However, if an endless stream of people like me and Hong He step forward in the future of our sect, then the Divine Wood Sect could forever rule the Eastern Wilderness, bringing permanent governance and peace to this vast land.¡±


    Chen Mobai will never forget the awkwardness he felt when he first came into contact with the Eastern Wilderness, where the worldview shaped by his upbringing within the immortal gate conflicted with the customs of the cultivators here. His wish to transform this vast region of Eastern Wilderness always remained in his heart.


    Previously, if he had said these words, people would only have laughed it off.


    But now he felt, it¡¯s time to take action.


    Starting by improving and changing the sect.


    ¡°I hope I can live to see that day.¡±


    Although Meng Hong knew that Chen Mobai¡¯s grand ambition is very hard to achieve in the Eastern Wilderness, for some unknown reason, his heart, which had been desolate because of his failed Core Formation, felt a long-lost excitement and anticipation after hearing these words.


    It¡¯s as if he¡¯s found a target and gained motivation.


    The next day, Meng Hong went with Chen Mobai to meet An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Department.


    ¡°Without directives from Shenmu Hall and Penalty Evil Hall, it¡¯s hard for me, as the head of the department, to command the disciples.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, An Jinghui revealed an uneasy expression.


    Because the Puppet Department has the least number of people among the twelve departments, every puppet master is basically very busy. Apart from maintaining their own puppets, they are busy collecting various materials for puppet creation.


    Whenever there¡¯s a task, An Jinghui needs to inform them a month in advance, so that the disciples have enough time to arrange their work.


    ¡°Consider it as me hiring them. The spirit stones can be distributed through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    After hearing An Jinghui¡¯s difficulties, Chen Mobai blamed himself for not inquiring in advance. He didn¡¯t expect the puppet masters of the Divine Wood Sect to be so busy.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try to arrange it, but regular spirit stone payment may not be enticing enough.¡±


    An Jinghui looked apologetic. However, he assured that his disciple Li Yixian will definitely follow Chen Mobai¡¯s command. Though he failed in Foundation Establishment, the favor of the advice is significant and needs to be repaid.


    ¡°Thank you, Minister An.¡±


    As he departed, Chen Mobai took along with him three puppet masters, including Li Yixian. This was a testament to the influence of An Jinghui, the Minister. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to secure even a single person.


    ¡°You begin with the puppet production, I will go and coordinate with the Spirit Plant, Spirit Vein, Formation, and Spirit Beast departments.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s plan involved incorporating the entire southern slope of the Giant Tree Ridge, which belonged to the Spirit Vein Department and also had formations set up by the Formation Department, along with various spirit beasts raised and spirit plants grown.


    If he were to coordinate with these four major departments individually, not to mention whether they would cooperate, even if they did, it would likely cause a lot of time-wasting back-and-forth.


    However, if Meng Hong were willing to act as a mediator, things would be different. All twelve departments of the three halls were old subordinates of his, plus, despite his failed Core Formation, Meng Hong was still the second most powerful pseudo-core cultivator in the sect, his influence considerably greater than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    With Meng Hong¡¯s help in liaising with the three departments, Chen Mobai, along with Li Yixian and the other two, began to produce the puppets worry-free.


    Among them, Li Yixian surprisingly turned out to be a Rank-2 Puppet Master.


    With An Jinghui¡¯s help, he had exchanged quite a few pieces of Qingyang Spiritual Wood from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, which he used to build his Rank-2 puppet, and thus, according to the local rules, he was considered a Rank-2 Puppet Master.


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s view, he was barely a Rank-1 Puppet Master.


    As for the other two, it¡¯s needless to say that in the Immortal World, they would only be considered hobbyists, not even formally initiated puppet makers.


    However, even these puppet masters were only willing to take on the assignment because the Minister of the Puppet Department, An Jinghui, had personally stepped in.


    Chen Mobai, with Li Yixian and the other two in tow, arrived at his courtyard, which he had converted into a puppet workshop. After all, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was located within Divine Wood City, so if anything was needed, it was easier to buy.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe Uncle Chen has a whole intact piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood. I wonder if we could hypothetically use the leftover scraps from its usage as a replacement for Spirit Stones as our payment.¡±


    As soon as Li Yixian and the others entered, they saw a piece of Green-Sun Spiritual Wood in the corner and instantly their eyes shone. They rushed to the wood, seemingly wanting to touch it, but they didn¡¯t dare.


    ¡°Oh, are you lacking Qingyang spiritual wood?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then asked his own question.


    ¡°Of course, we are. The sect has only got a limited number of Qingyang Spirit Trees, all of which are closely watched by the Foundation Establishment elders. Apart from using them to make Rank-2 tree seeds, many are waiting for the Spirit Trees to transform and produce Qingyang Fire Seeds. We Qi Practitioners can¡¯t wait for the day when they are available at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    One of the puppet masters, Sui Kun, lamented. Their combat puppets, if they were to be upgraded to Rank-2, would require Qingyang Spiritual Wood to replace all their components.


    But under the entire Puppet Department, it was only Li Yixian who, due to An Jinghui¡¯s influence, managed to exchange enough Green-Sun Spiritual Wood from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    The other puppet masters had mostly only replaced a palm or half a leg.


    Seeing a complete piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood in the corner of Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard made even Li Yixian, who already had a complete Rank-2 puppet, green with envy.


    ¡°If I were to pay the compensation with Qingyang spiritual wood, how many people in the Puppet Department would be willing to come and help?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai asked a question.


    ¡°Not a single person would refuse!¡±


    Sui Kun definitively remarked. If puppet masters of their department knew they could get Qingyang Spiritual Wood scraps as a reward, they would presumably come out in droves.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in acknowledgment, however, he didn¡¯t immediately use Qingyang Spiritual Wood to recruit people. Instead, he planned to first lead Li Yixian and the others in creating the three basic models of agricultural puppets.


    This Qingyang Spiritual Wood was what he had attempted to synthesize using Jia Wood Jue, and it had taken him half a month to complete the process.


    If he recruited too many people, he wouldn¡¯t be able to provide enough Qingyang Spiritual Wood.


    He hoped that his spider puppets exploring the Divine Tree Secret Realm could find an actual Qingyang Spirit Tree quickly.

 Chapter 628 - Chapter 628: Chapter 401 Sowing Seeds_1

    Chapter 628: Chapter 401 Sowing Seeds_1


    Three days later, Meng Hong arrived with Mu Yuan.


    ¡°The two Ancestors highly admire your idea. However, if we proceed exactly according to your plan, the changes will be substantial, which might potentially trigger another war in our sect. Therefore, they resolve not to disturb the Mountain Protection Array,¡± Meng Hong explained.


    Chen Mobai intended to cultivate the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge. This would inevitably cause changes in the earth¡¯s veins, leading to part of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, which had been stable for several decades, to fail.


    Even if the two Ancestors held a high opinion of Chen Mobai, they would not take such a risk at this critical juncture.


    After all, many enemies had emerged when Meng Hong was in the Core Formation stage.


    At this crucial time, stability was their priority.


    ¡°This matter has a long-term benefit. The sooner, the better.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai sighed, understanding the concerns of the two Ancestors.


    After all, not long ago, Ji Zhenshi and Nan came to pressure them, and there were two Golden Core Ghost Cultivators coveting them in the dark. If he were in the Ancestors¡¯ shoes, he would make the same choice.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I said too. So, I have negotiated on your behalf.¡±


    While speaking, Meng Hong took out the map of the Giant Tree Ridge and circled an area with Xiao Nanshan at the center.


    ¡°There are about 500 acres of spiritual land here, but they are separated by four Spirit Mountains,¡± Meng Hong explained.


    ¡°I have discussed with the four department heads of the formation, and they agree to first use this area as a test field. The formation department will slightly modify the Mountain Protection Array here. The spirit plant department will supply you with the necessary crop seeds, and the spirit beast department will take away the spirit beasts cultivated here.¡±


    ¡°If you can successfully cultivate this area as a whole, once the outside powers of the sect stabilize in the future, we can then extend your method to the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge, or even the whole sect.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s strenuous efforts over these three days had paid off. With the two Ancestors not explicitly opposing him, he pulled some strings within the formation departments, securing the rights to use the 500 acres of spiritual land for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Meng.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately thanked Meng Hong.


    The central plains of the sect, its core medicinal field, only had about 1700 acres. Although much of Chen Mobai¡¯s 500 acres were still uncultivated wastelands, having the right to use so much spiritual land was already quite remarkable.


    ¡°Little Chen, you don¡¯t need to work this hard. Given your talent, if you diligently cultivate like Hong He, reaching the Core Formation stage early would be a great help to the sect,¡± Elder Meng advised sincerely.


    Meng Hong had watched Chen Mobai grow from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, and then receiving the legacy of the Longevity Doctrine. He believed that Chen was a true genius who could surpass him and become a Golden Core cultivators.


    Although he supported Chen Mobai¡¯s idea of cultivating for the future development of the sect, he was hesitant to let it impede Chen¡¯s opportunity to rise even further.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it was rare to find someone like Chen Mobai who would forsake their personal cultivation time for the sect¡¯s welfare.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder Meng. Even if I spend every day farming and making puppets, no one in the sect will be able to catch up to my cultivation speed.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke those words with self-assured confidence.


    At this, Meng Hong didn¡¯t know how to persuade him otherwise.


    ¡°If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. If you need extra hands, I¡¯ll send Mu Yuan to help you.¡±


    In the end, Meng Hong could only leave Chen Mobai with these words and the services of Mu Yuan.


    Meng Hong currently held no particular responsibilities within the sect. The only ones he could give orders to were his disciples. With E Yun absent, only Mu Yuan remained.


    ¡°Just take this time to rest, Elder Meng. You have been immensely helpful,¡± replied Chen Mobai graciously, sending off Meng Hong with the document granting the use of 500 acres of spiritual land.


    In the subsequent time, his real body was instructing Li Yixian and the others to make agricultural puppets in the Divine Wood City. Meanwhile, his Clone with the Unseen Puppet was surveying the newly obtained four Spirit Mountains and 500 acres of spiritual lands with Zhuo Ming.


    Since these were all near Xiao Nanshan, it was relatively easy for the master and disciple to explore and contrast with the survey.


    During this time, the cultivators from the formation department visited to discuss with Chen Mobai about changing the earth¡¯s vein formation to be dependent on the four Spirit Mountains.


    If they wanted to develop a spirit field, they would need to disperse the accumulated Spirit Vein Qi to distribute evenly across every inch of land. This would inevitably weaken or even nullify the formations relying on the spirit vein.


    ¡°Are there any formations that use Spirit Fields as array flags?¡±


    Thinking of his future plan of cultivating the entire Giant Tree Ridge into a Spirit Field, which would mean the core Array of Ten Thousand Woods of the Divine Wood Sect would cease to function, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask the cultivator from the spirit vein department this question.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°For that, we need a master of formations to come and help redesign it. The Array of Ten Thousand Woods of our Divine Wood Sect was arranged with the help of Master Jie from Kong Sang Valley.¡±


    The Array of Ten Thousand Woods is actually an upgraded version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation. It is a combination of multiple Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formations, centered around three Rank-4 Everlife Woods, reconstituting into a giant Rank-4 formation.


    The Divine Wood Sect does not have a Rank-4 Array Master. It was Zhou, the old Ancestor, who paid a hefty price to request someone from the Eastern Yi Territory to arrange the Mountain Protection Array.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid this will trouble Brother Duan.¡±


    The person leading the formation department was called Duan Shaojiu, a veteran cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Even though his cultivation level was low, he was one of the four Rank-3 Array Masters in the sect.

 Chapter 629 - Chapter 629: Chapter 401: Sowing Seeds _2

    Chapter 629: Chapter 401: Sowing Seeds _2


    The other three happened to be the head, deputy head and inspector of the Formation department.


    Just his luck, he was the one with the lowest cultivation level, so most of the time he was the one doing all the work.


    Chen Mobai needed to transform the Spirit Vein into a Spiritual Land, and there were two Array Flags of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods close to Xiao Nanshan. These needed to be relocated elsewhere, which was quite a cumbersome task.


    ¡°It¡¯s for the good of the sect. My little bit of hard work is nothing.¡±


    Duan Shaojiu was rather old, basically with no possibility of further progress. However, both his son and daughter had Spiritual Roots, and so he was currently trying to gather resources for his children.


    After Chen Mobai briefly explained the situation to him, Duan Shaojiu even asked him if he wanted to move one of the flags to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    The Array Flag of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods was the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Planted at the top of Xiao Nanshan, occasional branch and leaf pruning didn¡¯t interfere with the Array¡¯s operation, and the Sect usually turned a blind eye to it.


    Chen Mobai was slightly tempted, but after careful consideration, he shook his head.


    Firstly, he highly valued his privacy and was unsure if this Array Flag would expose his secret long-term travels between worlds. Plus, with access to the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had little interest in the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Furthermore, if he planned to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice in the future, he would need to stimulate the Spiritual Vein Core of Xiao Nanshan, which would generate some Rank-3 Spiritual Land.


    In that case, the Array Flag would need to be relocated again, creating even more trouble.


    It was just well off being moved out of his jurisdiction altogether, thus solving it all at once.


    After listening to Chen Mobai, Duan Shaojiu was decisive. Within two days, he had relocated the two Qingyang Spirit Trees to nearby hills.


    The Qingyang Spirit Tree is a Rank-2 Spirit Wood, which only needs a Rank-2 Spirit Vein for growth.


    During the relocation, Sun Gaochang also came to help. This inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, being a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, initially did not need to do it himself. But considering his deep relationships with Chen Mobai, he volunteered to help to avoid any accidents.


    Under the joint efforts of Duan Shaojiu and Sun Gaochang, the migration of the two Qingyang Spirit Trees was smoothly completed without any accidents.


    No longer entangled with the Mountain Protection Array, Chen Mobai was finally at peace to cultivate the Spirit Field.


    ¡°Master, Miao Mountain and Court Mountain are close to Rank-3 Spiritual Vein lands with flat terrain. But places near Wing Mountain and Shuyang Mountain are all hilly and not suitable for cultivation.¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai and his two apprentices were overseeing the five hundred-acre Spiritual Land centred on Xiao Nanshan from the sky. Zhuo Ming pointed to the undulating terrain below, with a worried expression.


    Although it was indeed five hundred acres of Spiritual Land, most of it was barren. Places that were already cultivated like Xiao Nanshan only needed minor tilling before they could be used as high-quality Spirit Fields. Together, they probably only accounted for about one hundred acres.


    The remaining three hundred acres all needed to be cultivated on hillside slopes.


    If an ordinary man were to do this, it would probably take three generations to cultivate into a suitable Spirit Field.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, how long would it take if you were to do it?¡±


    Chen Mobai was standing on Red Misty Cloud Silk, pointing down at Wing Mountain and Shuyang Mountain who had rough surrounding terrains.


    Shuyang Mountain had a hill at its foot known as Small Yang Ridge, which used to be Chen Mobai¡¯s initial homestead and was still under his name.


    ¡°Master, it would probably take about ten years.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Zhuo Ming honestly estimated the time.


    With her cultivation level and the use of various spiritual tools, the complete cultivation of over three hundred acres of terraced fields would be considered quick to be completed in ten years.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ll help Sister.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan thought that Chen Mobai was actually going to assign this Herculean task to Zhuo Ming. After thinking for a while, she stepped forward and pledged, showcasing sisterly camaraderie.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, if Ming¡¯er were to start cultivating, wouldn¡¯t I have to personally take care of the annual sowing and harvesting?¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, indicating that he had other arrangements, but he was very pleased with his two apprentices¡¯ willingness to work hard.


    A cultivator who¡¯s willing to toil like a farmer was a rarity in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Master, if these five hundred acres are truly all cultivated with Spirit Rice, wouldn¡¯t we need to build a large storehouse to store the harvest?.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was already worrying about the insufficient storage capacity at the foot of Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡±


    Chen Mobai planned to benefit the entire Divine Wood Sect. While the five hundred acres of Spirit Rice looked plentiful, when divided among the entire sect, it wouldn¡¯t be much.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s clean up the terraces on the flatlands. It¡¯s also the sowing season for the Fire Spirit Rice in the second half of the year. We mustn¡¯t waste that.¡±


    There are roughly a hundred acres of spiritual land that merely need the weeds and rubble cleared, and some wild animals scared away, before they can be used for planting.¡±


    In this area, Zhuo Ming is an expert.


    However, to be efficient, Chen Mobai personally led her, burning wild grass and trees while applying fertilizer. He also unveiled the Spirit Veins hidden in the hills, converting them into acres of spirit fields.


    ¡°Master, if only three of us are sowing the seeds, we may run short of time.¡±


    Once all the flat terraces were marked, Zhuo Ming discovered a new problem.


    ¡°I have already arranged for the Department of Spirit Plants to help.¡±


    Compared to the scarcity of puppet masters, the Divine Wood Sect has many more spirit plant masters. Chen Mobai is close friends with Sun Gaochang, and moreover, the cultivation of spirit rice has always been encouraged within the sect.


    So Chen Mobai had the Department of Spirit Plants help him cultivate sprouts for a hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice.


    If it were just him and Zhuo Ming, it would undoubtedly be too late.


    The Department of Spirit Plants charges no fee for these hundred acres of sprouts. Their only demand would be that the spirit fields under Chen Mobai¡¯s name must yield at least eighty acres of spirit rice by next year.


    If the harvest is insufficient, he will be fined in spirit stones and contributions to the sect.


    Of course, the proceeds from the spirit rice are all Chen Mobai¡¯s. He can choose to sell them to the sect, which will purchase them back at ten times the contribution value, or he can keep them for sale or brewing wine.


    In this regard, while the Department of Spirit Plants is willing to cultivate sprouts for free, their people won¡¯t assist in the sowing. That would have to be done by Chen Mobai himself.


    ¡°Master, how about we hire some spirit plant masters from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to help us?¡±


    Though Zhuo Ming is not afraid of hard work, with only a few days left, she does not have the means to sow the sprouts for a hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice herself. Therefore, she requests external help from Chen Mobai for the first time.


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry. I have already made preparations.¡±


    The next day, Chen Mobai brought over a newly tested sowing puppet with Li Yixian and his team.


    This puppet comes with two large wheels. Between the wheels is an elongated track with small holes to hold and secure the sprouts.


    Chen Mobai has a powerful divine sense, and within a short period, he managed to pick a thousand sprouts from those provided by the Department of Spirit Plants and plant them into corresponding holes on the puppet¡¯s track. Then, he loaded in a Spirit Stone to activate it.


    After a while, under the disbelieving gazes of Zhuo Ming¡¯s group, the puppet began rolling around over the spirit fields.


    The track was exactly the width of the field. After it rolled through, the sprouts were neatly lined up in the soil as if someone had meticulously measured and arranged them.


    After thirty laps, an acre of land had been sown.


    In one day, fifteen acres of sprouts were planted.


    ¡°Master, this puppet is amazing,¡± observed Zhuo Ming.


    Zhuo Ming, who spends every day farming, immediately recognized the advantages of the sowing puppet. With it, all that she needs is an old farmer to supervise, and the puppet can easily complete the sowing of hundreds of acres of spirit fields.


    ¡°This is the speed on flatland. If sowing on the hilled terraces, the speed will slow by more than half.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed out the flaw in sowing puppet. However, even so, Zhuo Ming still found it very impressive.


    ¡°The three of you, help me make another puppet of this kind, with full efforts.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had hundreds of acres of land needing sowing, and one puppet fell short.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, at best we can complete it in seven days,¡± returned Li Yixian honestly.


    Although they had already mastered the creation method of the sowing puppet under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, it couldn¡¯t be done any faster.


    ¡°If you can deliver it within two days, I¡¯m willing to reward a piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal, the excitement of Li Yixian¡¯s group was palpable.


    ¡°Are you serious, Uncle Chen?¡±


    ¡°We can sign a contract at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    ¡°Guaranteed to complete the task!¡±


    Without saying another word, Li Yixian and his partners allowed Chen Mobai to take them back to Divine Wood City. They were prepared to summon their friends in the puppet department to join them in earning a piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood together.

 Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: Chapter 402: Settlement after Core Formation_1

    Chapter 630: Chapter 402: Settlement after Core Formation_1


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we need more assistance from you for this matter.¡±


    Jin Shanping, the Deputy Head of the Spirit Plant Department, amiably saw Chen Mobai out the door. Chen Mobai nodded and then went to see Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Senior Brother Sun, how do you think we should handle this?¡±


    Chen Mobai sat down in the seat opposite him. Sun Gaochang served him a cup of clear tea and listened with a helpless, bitter smile on his face.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the Spirit Plant Department only has a yearly budget of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and one hundred thousand sect contributions. After your one hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice matures, if we bought all of them, according to the ten times support, we would need two hundred thousand sect contributions. Even if I approve it on my side, I don¡¯t think the Vice Hall Master in the Reward Virtue Hall would agree. The matter will end up being reported to the sect leader, which will put him in a difficult position.¡±


    In truth, it was Sun Gaochang who had invited Chen Mobai over today, but as the Deputy Head of the Spirit Plant Department, he brought up the matter first.


    Half a year ago, through his connection with Meng Hong, Chen Mobai had obtained five hundred acres of Spirit Field to plant the Spirit Rice, a task that everyone deemed impossible to complete.


    Both manpower and spiritual land were far from sufficient.


    But who would have known that Chen Mobai had acquired the Puppetry Technique inheritance from the Eternal Life Sect and utilized Qingyang Spirit Wood to create many Agricultural Puppets in the Puppetry Department, resolving the two most critical issues all at once.


    Subsequently, through various Immortal Cultivation families in the Jian Country, he was able to move a large number of non-spiritual-root descendants from these families to the vicinity of Xiao Nanshan, solving the manpower issue.


    Some days ago, nearly two hundred acres of the Spirit Rice under Chen Mobai¡¯s name matured. He invited the people from the Spirit Plant Department to conduct an early inspection and prepare for the year-end harvest.


    Among these, Chen Mobai planned to keep for himself the produce from the sixty acres of the Spirit Field within Xiao Nanshan.


    The remaining Spirit Rice from the small Yang Ridge, as well as the one hundred acres distributed across the other four Spirit Mountains, he declared to the Spirit Plant Department to be sold to the sect.


    However, when the people from the Spirit Plant Department came for the inspection, they were full of praises for the harvest of these hundred-plus acres of Spirit Rice, complimenting Xiao Nanshan¡¯s lineage for indeed being the best at rice plant cultivation in the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, upon returning and calculating the cost of purchasing this Spirit Rice, the three heads of the Spirit Plant Department began to wear a worried and gloomy expression.


    The Fire Spirit Rice is a hybrid variety researched by Chen Mobai himself. While it is crunchy, it contains the same spiritual energy and nutrients as the Yubud Lingmi and it can be harvested twice a year. Moreover, the yield per acre of this Spirit Rice can reach 150 catties. If Chen Mobai were to sell all a hundred and thirty acres of Spirit Rice to the Spirit Plant Department, the latter would have to pay 210,000 sect contributions to purchase it.


    This large expenditure far exceeds the annual budget of the Spirit Plant Department.


    Even if Sun Gaochang, as the supervisor, approves of it, the deputy head and the head above would definitely disagree. If this were to happen, the Spirit Plant Department would have to tighten their belts for the next two to three years.


    So, after internal discussions, they invited Chen Mobai over and mentioned the issue to him.


    The implication being that the Spirit Plant Department could only purchase the thirty acres of Yubud Lingmi from the small Yang Ridge at most. The remaining Fire Spirit Rice couldn¡¯t be bought by the department due to there not being a precedent for it, so Chen Mobai could only harvest the rice himself.


    If the department were to purchase it, they would send people over to harvest it and directly verify the quantity and yield of the produce.


    Chen Mobai originally thought this would save him some work.


    Who knew that his overproduction would scare off the Spirit Plant Department from purchasing.


    ¡°Does Sect Leader know about this matter?¡±


    After listening to Sun Gaochang¡¯s complaints, Chen Mobai asked. Sun slightly shook his head to indicate that he had not reported this matter to Chu Zuoshu yet.


    ¡°It should still be reported.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and said something that made Sun Gaochang puzzled. However, Sun soon understood what Chen Mobai meant.


    Shenmu Hall.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s request, Chu Zuoshu also felt a headache coming on.


    This was clearly supposed to be a good thing, but the problem was that Chen Mobai had grown too much Spirit Rice. If it were to be bought at market price, the sect could easily digest all of it.


    However, in order to support Spirit Rice cultivation, when the sect had first been established, the old Founder Zhou had set this ten times support policy.


    This is because the ratio of input to yield for cultivating Spirit Rice is disproportionate. Even with this support policy, the sect¡¯s production of Spirit Rice still falls short every year and they have to buy from the external cultivation families.


    But who would have thought that a farming genius like Chen Mobai would appear, and he had increased the yield of Spirit Rice to a level that the sect could hardly afford.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, since you have mentioned it to me, I can approve of this year¡¯s Spirit Rice. But if there is still this much next year, I¡¯m afraid we will have to report it to the two Old Ancestors.¡±


    After some thought, Chu Zuoshu proposed an opinion, feeling that he cannot let Chen Mobai, a direct disciple, feel disheartened. This year the sect can afford this vast contribution. But if it continues like this every year, Chu can¡¯t keep his position as Sect Leader and will have to escalate it to the two Old Ancestors to abolish this policy.

    ¡°Sect Leader, I have a suggestion.¡±


    Chen Mobai believed that he had a win-win solution.


    It would allow the sect to buy the Spirit Rice with ten times the contribution without causing the sect too much distress.


    ¡°Junior Brother, please go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Let the sect make the usual purchase. Because my Fire Spirit Rice is a new variety, this contribution can be held as a quality assurance deposit in the sect¡¯s account. After a few years, when it¡¯s confirmed that there¡¯s no problem with the rice, this contribution can be gradually released to my account.¡±

 Chapter 631 - Chapter 631: 402

    Chapter 631: 402


    ¡°Junior Brother, isn¡¯t that still the same?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal. Even if the Sect¡¯s contribution is not used for a few years, it ultimately still needs to be used, doesn¡¯t it?


    ¡°Sect Leader, I can also make another agreement with the Sect, to only use up to one-tenth of the previous year¡¯s Sect contribution income each year.¡±


    In this way, although the Divine Wood Sect is nominally still supporting the cultivation of Spirit Rice with a tenfold contribution, the actual cost would just be the normal market price.


    ¡°Junior Brother, doesn¡¯t that mean you¡¯ll be at a loss?¡±


    ¡°Sect Leader, if I achieve Core Formation, won¡¯t the contribution points held in the Sect¡¯s account become real?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, a statement that startled Chu Zuoshu into realization.


    Indeed, if Chen Mobai achieves Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect would undoubtedly have to acknowledge the remaining nine-tenths of contributions that were previously impossible to withdraw.


    ¡°Junior Brother, why don¡¯t you just focus on your cultivation and strive for Core Formation? Why do you have to go in circles like this?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, as the Sect Leader, had heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s devotion to farming over the years. His opinion was in line with Meng Hong¡¯s. Why not cultivate with all this time?


    After Core Formation, whatever you want in the Sect can be taken at any time.


    ¡°Sect Leader, my individual strength can¡¯t compare to the overall strength of the Divine Wood Sect. This Spirit Rice is mainly for strengthening the physical fitness of our Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated his ideals again. He understood clearly. If he made the Divine Wood Sect truly buy his Spirit Rice at ten times the contribution rate every year, within two years the two old ancestors would cancel the policy.


    It¡¯s better to agree with Chu Zuoshu that the Sect actually buys his Spirit Rice at the market price, and the remaining ninety percent is temporarily kept in the Sect¡¯s account. Once he achieves Core Formation, it becomes real. If not, the debt is considered nonexistent.


    After considering it for a moment, Chu Zuoshu immediately agreed.


    He then called Luo Xue¡¯er from the Reward Virtue Hall and the head of the Spiritual Plant Department, Shi Fengping.


    With the Sect Leader¡¯s approval, both had no objections and agreed without hesitation.


    In fact, the Spiritual Plant Department picked up a big bargain because now they could buy Chen Mobai¡¯s Spirit Rice at market prices.


    Finally, after the harvest of one hundred and thirty acres of Spirit Fields was accounted for, Chen Mobai¡¯s account was increased by twenty thousand Sect contribution points.


    The Reward Virtue Hall, which manages the Sect¡¯s account, also recorded the debt of owing Chen Mobai one hundred and eighty thousand Sect contribution points.


    ¡°Master, almost all of the cultivable land on Miao Mountain and Court Mountain has been tilled. By next spring, we should be able to plant some simple Spiritual Plants.¡±


    While the people from the Spiritual Plant Department of the Divine Wood Sect were harvesting Spirit Rice with great enthusiasm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming to the terraces that were tilled this year.


    Two of the best mountains in terms of terrain had been levelled tier by tier with the use of puppets led by mortals under Zhuo Ming in the past six months.


    More than a hundred acres of Spiritual Land had been added.


    However, these terraces needed to first be planted with Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens because the fertility is not enough and the soil is not loose enough.


    This was Zhuo Ming¡¯s experience from farming over the years. This kind of crop is a spiritual plant used by the sect to extract oil, and is easy to nurture. After the harvest, a gentle spiritual oil can be extracted.


    The combination of this spiritual oil and Red Sun Spiritual Wood is an excellent configuration for low-ranking Alchemists of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The mustard greens can yield oil after the harvest, and the left-over stems can nourish the earth, making the Spirit Fields fertile.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this matter to you, and take it slow for the rest. Try to fill these five hundred acres of spiritual land with the scent of rice flowers within five years.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been laboriously tilling and sowing with Zhuo Ming over these six months.


    However, once the disciple is set up, things become easier.


    The three types of agricultural puppets are enough for now. After all, the harvest is handled by the Spiritual Plant Department arranged by the Sect. Their Xiao Nanshan lineage just needs to sow and till the land.


    ¡°Master, I feel like I am about to make a breakthrough in my cultivation level. Farming and tilling seem to align very well with my Mother Earth Cultivation practice. But it feels too fast, the foundation isn¡¯t stable. It may affect the condensation of Qi into liquid in the future.¡±


    Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment but still reported this matter to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, extend your hand, let me take your pulse for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai placed his hand on Zhuo Ming¡¯s wrist. After checking her cultivation level, he discovered that she was about to breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi cultivation.


    However, since Zhuo Ming had only just broken through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation last year, she felt a little fearful of her own rapid progress. Therefore, she restrained herself.


    ¡°Hahahaha, this is a natural progression and breakthrough, rest assured, there are no issues.¡±


    Zhuo Ming thought her spiritual root talent was mediocre. Therefore, she felt extremely anxious about breaking through a level within a year. She even believed that she might have entered demonic path, thinking that there was a mistake in her cultivation.


    But Chen Mobai knew that this second disciple of his had exceptional spiritual roots.


    Under his guidance, there was no shortage of spiritual energy, the environment was most suitable for the practice of Mother Earth Cultivation, and spirit rice was eaten every meal. If there wasn¡¯t such a rapid progression, that would be out of the ordinary.


    After hearing the words of Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming finally let go of her worries.


    She couldn¡¯t be happier. She sat down directly, took out a spirit stone from her storage bag, and attempted to breakthrough then and there on the Court Mountain Ground.


    Court Mountain was a Rank-2 top-grade spiritual vein, but Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming had transformed most of it into spirit fields, so it was now only rank-2 lower-grade. However, for Qi practitioners, it was still an excellent place.


    Chen Mobai also drew a Rank-2 spirit gathering talisman to help. Before long, the spiritual energy at the mountaintop began to gather towards the sitting Zhuo Ming.


    About half an hour later, Zhuo Ming, who was enveloped in a thick mist of energy as if she was inhaling and exhaling clouds, broke through her bottleneck and advanced to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Thank you for your protection, master.¡±


    After the breakthrough, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes and paid a big salute to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Rise. Court Mountain is destined to be connected to you. In the future, think of it as your cultivation ground.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his sleeve, a soft breath lifted Zhuo Ming up and pointed at the hill beneath their feet, a gift for Zhuo Ming¡¯s breakthrough.


    ¡°Thank you, master, I will manage the spirit fields here well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming expressed profound gratitude. At this time, Chen Mobai noticed Luo Yixuan, who was on the side, showing an envious expression. So he simply decided to distribute some properties among his three disciples today.


    ¡°The Miao Mountain next door will be for Xuan. Your close relationship with your senior sister will make future visits convenient.¡±


    ¡°Wen Bo can have Wing Mountain. If you ever get too drunk to go back to Divine Wood City, at least you will have a fallback.¡±


    Each of the four people in the lineage of Xiao Nanshan received a Spirit mountain.


    Although Luo Yixuan offered her thanks verbally, she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart.


    Because Miao Mountain was the furthest from Xiao Nanshan.


    But there was nothing she could do. Once the master decreed, she could only bow her head and thank him.


    ¡°Seeing Ming¡¯s breakthrough has led to some insights. I need to go into seclusion for a while. I will not be participating in this year¡¯s sect-wide competition. The three of you should do your best.¡±


    After handling the affairs of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai thought that it had been half a year since he last visited the Daoist Academy. So he decided to return and deal with the backlog of work from the Student Union and his factory.


    ¡°Congratulations, master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. Their master made breakthroughs and revelations as easily as eating and drinking.


    And every time he came out of seclusion, he really made breakthroughs.

    Leaving the two disciples on Court mountain, Chen Mobai returned to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    After activating the Cloud Mist Array, he left the Puppet there as usual to cultivate Pure Yang Purple Qi daily.


    He, himself, returned to the Daoist Academy through the Turtle Treasure.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he received good news.


    After operating for a long time through the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Che Yucheng finally managed to clear all relations related to the Purple Electric Sword.

 Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: Chapter 403: The Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword _1

    Chapter 632: Chapter 403: The Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword _1


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s really happening?¡±


    Chen Mobai rushed to Che Yucheng¡¯s office in building one as soon as he got the news, not forgetting to buy a basket of fruit on his way.


    ¡°There was little hope for this initially. Although Dance Tool Dao Academy is powerful, the three major academies also have some talented figures among the three grand halls of the immortal sect, so simply forcing it wouldn¡¯t work.¡±


    Che Yucheng was casually sipping tea as he slowly shared the secrets of the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Later, Wu Lei Academy approached us, intending to use our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s power to reclaim this Rank-4 sword.¡±


    ¡°Wu Lei Academy owns half of the rights to the Purple Electric Sword. Because they were previously blocked by Nature Studies Academy, they have been unable to retrieve the sword from Mountain-Sea Academy. Now, by uniting with our academy, we can act with rightful cause.¡±


    ¡°Eventually, the Academy Leader emerged from seclusion, I told him about it, and he happens to remember who you are. He personally went to see Master Yunhai from Nature Studies Academy, and then both Masters went to see the Hall Master of Dharma Hall, and the matter was settled.¡±


    The ownership of the Purple Electric Sword involved the four formidable organizations of Dharma Hall, Nature Studies Academy, the Wu Lei Academy, and the Mountain-Sea Academy.


    In the midst of this, because Pei Qingshuang has already gained the Qing Shuang Sword, if anyone were to get the approval of the Purple Electric Sword, it could negatively affect her reputation. Thus the consideration had to include how her mother, Master Tao Hua, would feel.


    That is to say, a total of six major forces needed to be addressed around the Purple Electric Sword.


    Thanks to Chen Mobai being the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and has also re-established the Academy¡¯s prestige at the offline seminar exchange meeting at the end of last year, Che Yucheng, his teacher, managed to bring the matter to the attention of Master Cheng Xuan. Otherwise, it would probably still be at a standstill to this date.


    Even though there were six major forces involved, all decisions were made by a few Nascent Soul ranked individuals.¡±


    After Wu Lei Academy came to us, Dance Tool Dao Academy could legitimately approach Nature Studies Academy on their behalf, asserting half the ownership rights over the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    If anyone else approached them about this matter, Nature Studies Academy would certainly try to delay it.¡±


    But Master Cheng Xuan went straight to Master Yunhai.¡±


    The top two Nascent Soul masters reached an agreement on the ownership of the Purple Electric Sword over a single phone call. They then together went to have early tea with the Hall Master of Dharma.¡±


    After finishing the tea, Dharma¡¯s Hall Master personally called the dean of Mountain-Sea Academy. The latter had no choice but to reluctantly agree, even if he didn¡¯t want to.¡±


    Master Cheng Xuan then informed Master Tao Hua about this matter, who also did not express any opposition, allowing them to deal with it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m getting the Purple Electric Sword just like that!?¡±


    After hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was still filled with joy and surprise, but Che Yucheng shook his head.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been given a chance to claim ownership.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, what does that mean?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not understand, so he immediately poured another cup of tea for Che Yucheng.¡±


    ¡°Given that the Purple Electric Sword has been without a master for hundreds of years, and to prevent the sword from losing its grade due to long periods of having no master to take care of it, the immortal sect accepted the requests from Wu Lei Academy and Nature Studies Academy. They issued a Hero Post, seeking a suitable new master for the Purple Electric Sword among all members of the immortal sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai sort of understood Che Yucheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°Teacher, does that mean I have to compete with everyone in the immortal sect for the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    ¡°This is an excuse to give you a reason to act. Otherwise, only students and graduates from Nature Studies Academy, Wu Lei Academy, and Mountain-Sea Academy would be eligible.¡±


    Che Yucheng sighed. This was the condition Wu Lei Academy had proposed when they first approached them.¡±


    They were willing to give Chen Mobai the opportunity to wield the Purple Electric Sword. But similarly, to silence the critics, they couldn¡¯t give this opportunity solely to Chen Mobai.¡±


    Nevertheless, Wu Lei Academy is the most likely candidate to become the next owner of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    ¡°The complete blueprints for forging the Purple Electric Sword are currently in Wu Lei Academy, and the Purple Thunder Dharma that Qing Shi practiced is also the most popular in Wu Lei Academy.¡±


    With the blueprints for the sword and the Passed Master¡¯s Dharma, Wu Lei Academy has nearly stacked all the conditions to obtain the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    It was for this reason they dared to approach Dance Tool Dao Academy for cooperation, not fearing to give everyone the opportunity to claim the Purple Electric Sword, just to take this gamble.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m good at this ¨C are we going to have a Magic Duel!? Not to brag, but among my peer cultivators in the entire immortal sect¡­ I don¡¯t even know what a suitable opponent is¡­¡±


    ¡°This time there are no restrictions. Everyone from Nascent Souls to Qi Cultivators can participate!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s confident speech was cut off by Che Yucheng¡¯s following words. He was stunned in place with his mouth wide open.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this unfair!¡±


    After a good while, Chen Mobai retorted, frustrated. How was he, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, supposed to compete with the old monsters of the Nascent Soul and Gold Core levels?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even though he currently commands several Rank-3 methods, at most he could struggle a bit with a Gold Core True Person. If they genuinely put their hands to it, he¡¯s undoubtedly not their match.¡±


    What more was there to compare? Just give the Purple Electric Sword to the person with the highest Cultivation Realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat deflated.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, the Nascent Soul Masters have dignity, they would not compete with you for the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a little more hopeful. However, the thought of possibly having to face a Gold Core True Person made him dispirited again.

 Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_2

    Chapter 633: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_2


    ¡°This time it¡¯s not about the magic duel, but entirely up to what kind of master the Purple Electric Sword wants to choose.¡±


    Seeing that look on Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng finally finished speaking. Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up again as he once more helped pour the tea.


    ¡°Teacher, what criteria does the Purple Electric Sword use to choose its master?¡±


    ¡°Nobody knows. A Rank-4 sword already possesses a hint of spirituality. But since the Purple Electric Sword only had one master, undoubtedly it has Master Qing Shi as a benchmark. That¡¯s why the Five Thunder Academy is so confident.¡±


    ¡°However, I believe that the Purple Electric Sword will choose a Sword Cultivation Genius over a Thunder method genius.¡±


    Chen Mobai shared some of his understanding. There are many top-ranked magic artifacts on the Immortal Sect¡¯s side, like the Primordial Yang Sword infamous for being a Rank-5 Sword, but because it would hinder the master¡¯ cultivation, anyone from the Pure Yang Scroll with ambition for higher realms would not become the master of this supreme flying sword.


    Although the Purple Electric Sword is famous and a Rank-4 Sword, there are few in the Immortal Sect that may catch its eye.


    The Qi Cultivators basically do not have to think about it, the Purple Electric Sword would not drain its spirit to help the master grow.


    Unless it is that kind of genius in sword dao who stands out, like Chen Mobai, a renowned peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Compared with that though, the Purple Electric Sword is more likely to favor those who have achieved Foundation Building or Golden Core.


    Among them, if a Golden Core Cultivator is willing, they would be the most likely to become the master of the sword.


    After all, if the Purple Electric Sword wants to maintain its rank, or even continue to grow, it can only hope that its master reaches the Nascent Soul Formation realm.


    Compared to Foundation Building Cultivators, Golden Core Cultivators at least have the hope of Nascent Soul Formation.


    Upon understanding this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel an itch in his scalp. He is confident in himself, but facing the sword heroes of the entire Immortal Sect, and even Golden Core Sword Cultivators, he doesn¡¯t have any sure footing.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy can only help you to this extent. Next, it¡¯s up to you to impress the Purple Electric Sword. Didn¡¯t you once say that the Purple Electric Sword suits you well? Moreover, your talent in sword dao has been acknowledged by Zuo Gong, so your chances of becoming the master are quite high.¡±


    Che Yuching teased, if it wasn¡¯t for Chen Mobai showing an exceptional realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, and being deemed possessing the sword dao talent of Bai Guang by him and Zuo Gong, along with catching the surprise of Cheng Xuan, this matter would not have been so simple.


    However, these words made Chen Mobai even more nervous. Doesn¡¯t he know the reality of his own sword dao?


    It¡¯s all empowerment, all nothing but a sham!


    ¡°Teacher, are any of the Golden Core Cultivators interested in the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    After Chen Mobai calmed down, he asked the most crucial question.


    After all, his spiritual root value is now almost up to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, he is now a true genius, so he still has hopes of wielding the Purple Electric Sword.


    As for the Foundation Building Realm, he has basically flattened it and has no opponents left.


    Among the Immortal Sect, only those in the Core Formation are his doubts.


    ¡°In the Mountain and Sea College, there¡¯s one who achieved the Golden Core ten years ago, named Ruan Zixiu. He previously wanted to have our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Artifact Refining Department help craft a lifebound sword. He had almost collected all the required materials, but now that he has a chance at obtaining the Purple Electric Sword, of course he won¡¯t miss out.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s Huo Xiqing from the Five Thunder College, a mid-term golden core cultivator. He has cultivated the Purple Thunder Dharma to a high realm, and if he can acquire the Purple Electric Sword, he might be able to break through to the later stages of the Golden Core, and there¡¯s even a chance of Nascent Soul Formation. It was him who initially came to me, strongly suggesting to promote this matter.¡±


    ¡°There should also be a Golden Core Cultivator from the Natural Studies Academy, but I haven¡¯t received any information yet.¡±


    ¡°The other Daoist Academies may also join in the fun, but the biggest threats are still Ruan Zixiu and Huo Xiqing.¡±


    The former is a genuine Golden Core Sword Cultivator, while the latter practices the same source of Purple Thunder Dharma as Master Qing Shi.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt discouraged about the future.


    However, since things have come this far, he definitely needs to strive for it.


    ¡°When does it start?¡±


    ¡°Probably not until next year, because nominally anyone in the Immortal Gate who meets the qualifications can participate. Waiting until the end of the year, when the three major colleges jointly issue a notice, there should be a crowd of people lining up in front of Mountain and Sea College. But as a seeded player, you only need to show up on the last day.¡±


    Unless the Purple Electric Sword encounters a once-in-a-millennium Sword Cultivation Genius midway through, otherwise, on the last day, Chen Mobai, Ruan Zixiu, Huo Xiqing and the others will strive for the opportunity to finally wield this Rank-4 Sword.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s alright. It won¡¯t waste too much time.¡±


    Chen Mobai is a very busy person nowadays. His own business in the Immortal Sect and the Tianhe Realm has just started to develop, and he needs to keep an eye on it all the time. He does not have a lot of time to queue and wait.


    ¡°Just remember this matter, don¡¯t forget when the time comes.¡±


    Che Yucheng waved his hand, and after Chen Mobai thanked him again, he took his leave.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Regardless, to reach the current situation, Che Yucheng has spent a lot of effort. There¡¯s nothing to complain about his dedication as a teacher.


    After leaving, Chen Mobai first went online to check, but as for the matter concerning the Purple Electric Sword, the Nascent Soul masters had just reached a consensus the day before. It won¡¯t happen so fast considering the preparations needed below.


    Chen Mobai can be considered to have received some insider news in advance.


    After leaving Building 1, naturally, Chen Mobai headed for the Student Union.


    ¡°President, you¡¯ve finally come.¡±

 Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_3

    Chapter 634: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_3


    Seeing him arrive, Zhuang Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the pile of files she had been accumulating.


    With the end of the term approaching, many things needed to be arranged in advance. Particularly important were the annual event of activating the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± at the end of the year, and scheduling classes for the next year.


    ¡°Where is that kid, Zhongli Tianyu?¡±


    While reviewing the files, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the successor he had appointed. He had planned to retire by the end of the year. Why was he still so busy?


    ¡°He complained about dealing with lots of odds and ends. He quit after half a year.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was so angry that he snapped the pen in his hand.


    ¡°Where is he now? To achieve the great Dao, one can¡¯t be so lacking in perseverance¡­¡±


    ¡°I think he¡¯s deep in the Treasure Trove, cultivating with Senior Bi.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words left Chen Mobai foggy. When did those two become so close?


    After dealing with the accumulated Student Council¡¯s work, Chen Mobai was about to go to the depths of the Treasure Trove to find Zhongli Tianyu, intending to convince him to take over his responsibilities.


    Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the student council.


    ¡°Why is she here?¡±


    From a window, Chen Mobai looked at Meng Huang who just walked into the door, and couldn¡¯t help asking Zhuang Jialan who was standing behind him.


    ¡°Senior Meng has accumulated a hundred credits and exchanged them for a Device Piece. She wanted to create an Ancient Zither Class Magical Instrument, so she came to our Student Council¡¯s Map of Treasures for reference. She has been coming frequently over the past year.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, who replaced the graduating Hua Zijing as secretary, is becoming more and more competent, even aware of these little things.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t she ask me?¡±


    The moment these words came out of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth, he remembered receiving a text message from Meng Huang at the end of last year. But he had been busy consuming the Enlightenment Tea at that time, so he put it to the back of his mind.


    Because of too many things going on afterwards, he completely forgot about it.


    ¡°My oversight. Jialan, invite Senior Meng up¡­ Nevermind, I¡¯ll go greet her myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt guilty for neglecting Meng Huang. He decided to set aside the matter of bringing back Zhongli Tianyu for the moment, and went down to have a chat with his long-lost senior.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the busy person like you would remember me.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai greeted Meng Huang, she couldn¡¯t help but tease him.


    ¡°Not at all. Every time I return to the Daoist Academy, I look up at your home but never dare to disturb you. So, when I saw you here today, I was truly overjoyed.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized politely. Upon hearing his words, the corner of Meng Huang¡¯s mouth lifted slightly, as if she smiled.


    She was already beautiful, but now a faint blush appeared on her face. Coupled with her lovely eyes and her fair skin, she was incomparably stunning.


    ¡°Did you spot any ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ that you like? I¡¯m pretty good at treasure appraisal, I could give you a hand.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was speaking, he invited Meng Huang to his office. She politely nodded in acceptance.


    Zhuang Jialan and Lu Tiansuan, who managed the Map of Treasures, exchanged glances. Thinking of their president¡¯s reputation, Zhuang Jialan couldn¡¯t help but whisper to Lu Tiansuan after they went upstairs.

    ¡°Don¡¯t spread this around. Even though the president¡¯s reputation isn¡¯t great when it comes to relationships, as his subordinates, we should cover for him when we can.¡±


    ¡°Do I look like a gossip to you?¡±


    Lu Tiansuan nodded his head, promising that he would keep it a secret.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware that his image in the minds of his subordinates had already been firmly established. He had a small sofa by the window in his office. After inviting Meng Huang to sit down, he personally brewed a pot of tea for her.


    ¡°Try this, Senior. It¡¯s a specialty I brought back from Jumang Daoist Academy. It¡¯s said to be good for a woman¡¯s skin and helps rejuvenate one¡¯s appearance.¡±

 Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: Chapter 404: Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Fairy Thunder_1

    Chapter 635: Chapter 404: Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Fairy Thunder_1


    ¡°A Rank-2 Spiritual Tea must be something good.¡±


    After taking a sip, Meng Huang¡¯s eyes lit up and she took another sip.


    Although she was a big celebrity, such a thing couldn¡¯t be bought with money in the Immortal Gate. Only Cultivators who had achieved Foundation Establishment had the qualifications to buy it.


    ¡°If senior sister likes it, I have quite a lot here. I¡¯ll pack a box for you later.¡±


    Chen Mobai took a sip himself, feeling it was just so-so.


    After the ambush at the White Moon Market, the Bai family offered Chen Mobai many Rank-1 and Rank-2 tea trees as an apology.


    Zhuo Ming planted these tea trees on the hillside of Xiao Nanshan. When they matured in autumn, Chen Mobai tasted some and kept some of the Rank-2 ones. He gave the rest to his three disciples.


    What they were drinking now was this Rank-2 Spiritual Tea.


    Also, Chen Mobai grafted and transplanted ¡°Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡± using the root stem of the Large Tung Flower. Unfortunately, due to his average level of Spirit Plant skill, plus the possible incompatibility between Everlife Wood and the Large Tung Flower root stem, the Rank-3 tea branch that survived the grafting process had dropped to Rank-1 level.


    Even though Chen Mobai could only regret this, he still planted this tea seedling that survived the grafting on the top of Xiao Nanshan, irrigating it from time to time with the life energy of Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Perhaps in due course, it could be promoted to Rank-3!


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Meng Huang lowered her head and said softly. If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s sharp hearing, he might not have heard her.


    Afterward, there was an awkward silence between the two of them.


    Indeed, they had been out of touch for so long that they were now practically strangers.


    ¡°Ahem, I heard that senior sister is planning to open a Device Nurturing Sphere. Did you bring your stuff? My Art of Spiritual Eyes is quite handy for telling what¡¯s inside.¡±


    ¡°I have five Device Nurturing Spheres, but they¡¯re all kept at home.¡±


    Meng Huang didn¡¯t have a storage bag or anything like that. As a young lady, carrying a sack wasn¡¯t really suitable for her.


    ¡°Oh, senior sister, have you already bought them? What are your requirements for the Magic Artifact you want to open? Let me know.¡±


    Ever since Chen Mobai¡¯s discerning sight, people at the Dance Tool Dao Academy who wanted to open the Device Nurturing Sphere would go to him for confirmation of the true nature of the magic artifact inside before they decided to offer their Good Deed Points.


    However, Meng Huang, as a well-known superstar in the Immortal Gate, surely had plenty of Good Deed Points. She didn¡¯t need to be as calculating as others.


    ¡°A musical type of Magic Artifact would be the best, such as guqin, guzheng, pipa, etc. I am proficient in all of them. The only strict requirement is that the Magic Artifact can only be Rank-2 lower-grade.¡±


    Having heard what Meng Huang said, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback.


    More than ninety-five percent of the Magic Artifacts in the Treasure Trove are ranked as Rank-2, and Rank-2 lower-grade is indeed the lowest level. Many students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy who asked Chen Mobai to help identify their items also requested that the item at least not be Rank-2 lower-grade.


    They could bear with Rank-2 intermediate grade, though they would be joyfully surprised if it was a Rank-2 higher grade or top-tier artifact.


    As for Rank-3, in all these years of Chen Mobai¡¯s identification work, he had never come across one.


    Most Rank-3 magic artifacts required a strong nurturing of spiritual energy to prevent them from falling in rank. So, most of them were under Duanmu Longrong¡¯s control. Only when they encountered top talents like Chen Mobai or Zuo Qiushi would the Daoist Academy consider giving one of them out.


    The fact that Meng Huang specifically asked for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact was a first for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°No problem, senior sister, why don¡¯t you go back first? I have some things to do here. I¡¯ll visit you later when I get home.¡±


    As a qualified seer, Chen Mobai had no objections to his client¡¯s requirements.


    But compared to this matter, he was more worried about Zhongli Tianyu, his successor. If this guy ran away, wouldn¡¯t he have to work tirelessly again at the Daoist Academy for the next two years?


    After hearing this, Meng Huang took a deep breath but still nodded with a smile on her face. She gently put down the teacup in her hand.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home in the evening.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai stood up to see her off.


    This made Meng Huang, who originally wanted to make a bit more small talk, couldn¡¯t help but clench her small fists under the table, but considering her situation, she still managed to smile graciously.


    After personally sending Meng Huang downstairs, Chen Mobai called Zhuang Jialan to take over.


    ¡°President, since you¡¯re going to look for Zhongli Tianyu anyway, and senior sister Meng hasn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment, she needs a Flying Talisman to leave. Why don¡¯t you give her a lift out of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    After Zhuang Jialan came over and learned the situation, she suddenly leaned over to Chen Mobai¡¯s side and whispered something that surprised him a bit.


    [What, she hasn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment yet? How did she get into the Treasure Trove then?]


    Chen Mobai, being a person of some emotional intelligence, hadn¡¯t said out loud what he was wondering. However, at this point, he started to tie together Meng Huang¡¯s requirement for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact and her lack of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Senior sister Meng, I just remembered that I also need to go out. How about I escort you part of the way?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang gently nodded her head.


    Riding on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± Chen Mobai took her away from the Treasure Trove.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Along the way, they both remained silent, seemingly not knowing how to start a conversation.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    At the entrance of the cave behind the Treasure Trove, after Meng Huang gently landed on the ground, she smiled and waved at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°See you tonight then.¡±


    After uttering this sentence, Chen Mobai, watching the departing figure of Meng Huang, once again entered the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: Chapter 404 Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Diagrams Fairy Thunder_2

    Chapter 636: Chapter 404 Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Diagrams Fairy Thunder_2


    However, he did not go to look for Zhongli Tianyu, but instead returned to the student council and asked Zhuang Jialan about Meng Huang¡¯s situation.


    ¡°It was the principal who personally approved Sister Meng Huang¡¯s entry into the Treasure Trove. I¡¯m not too clear about the specifics, maybe Brother Jiang Yuyuan knows.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan shared what she knew.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then called Che Yucheng to ask.


    ¡°Ah, about that, as you know, our principal is one of the oldest among those at the Nascent Soul Formation stage. He¡¯s quite concerned about the Shocking God Sonata. Once he learned of Meng Huang¡¯s situation, he wanted to give her another chance at Foundation Establishment.¡±


    As the manager of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Che Yucheng indeed knew about this matter.


    ¡°Does the Daoist Academy have ways to increase the probability of Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, a bit puzzled, wondering if there was something similar to the critical method.


    ¡°The principal has modified the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. It allows Qi practitioners to refine the essence of a lower-grade Rank-2 magic artifact and use it to increase the chances of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained the reason nonchalantly. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire¨CNascent Soul cultivators truly were extraordinary, even capable of modifying such techniques.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that the success rate of Foundation Establishment in the Daoist Academy will be higher in the future?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his friends and family who were yet to establish their foundation and had not mastered the critical method. If they had this technique in combination with the three treasures of Foundation Establishment, there would be renewed hope.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy. The magic artifact used must have the same origin as the practitioner¡¯s cultivation method, and it only increases the probability by about 10%. For most people with mediocre aptitude, it won¡¯t make a decisive difference.¡±


    However, Che Yucheng didn¡¯t think highly of this technique.


    There are many elixirs in the Immortalists world that can increase the chances of Foundation Establishment by 10%, but only the critical method guarantees a 100% success rate.


    Even if all conditions are met using the Foundation Establishment treasures, one can only infinitely approach a 100% success rate.


    In other words, Meng Huang, who has not grasped the critical method, still has a chance of failing in her next attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    After ending his call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had a general understanding of his neighbor¡¯s situation.


    Since she was a friend, he decided to help her simulate with the Foundation Establishment treasures in the evening, bring the No-Form Puppet back from Xiao Nanshan, and do a full body scan and a complete process prediction.


    After making up his mind, Chen Mobai hastily left the student council.


    He called Zhong Li Tianyu, but the latter seemed a bit uneasy and didn¡¯t pick up.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed, and he called Bian Jingchun. She answered, currently cultivating somewhere in the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°Sister Bian, long time no see.¡±


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the place, he saw a white dragon phantom flying out and transforming into a tall woman, who bowed slightly to him.


    ¡°You¡¯re here for Little Zhong Li, aren¡¯t you? He is currently using the True Dragon Ding for cultivation. He¡¯s not deliberately ignoring your calls.¡±


    Bian Jingchun explained for Zhongli Tianyu. Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised.


    ¡°Does the True Dragon Ding also help him?¡±


    Bian Jingchun trains in the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, so the True Dragon Ding is an unmatched treasure to her. She has even suspended her Immortalist¡¯s official duties to cultivate with this Rank-4 Magic Artifact in the Treasure Trove.


    But Zhongli Tianyu obviously specializes in the Thunder method!


    His practice should not have any relation to the Dragon Transformation Scripture!


    ¡°You¡¯ll understand once you come with me.¡±


    Bian Jingchun turned and transformed back into a white dragon phantom, flying towards an opening. Chen Mobai immediately followed her using the Red Misty Cloud Silk.


    About ten minutes later, they reached a large cave with an underground lake.


    Zhongli Tianyu was sitting in the center of the lake, on top of the Bagua Mirror, with the True Dragon Ding upside down over his head. The two potent artifacts emitted colorful lights, pouring into the person seated between them from above and below.


    Chen Mobai immediately activated his Void Spirit Eye but noticed the overwhelming spiritual light exploding from the two powerful artifacts. He quickly turned off his Spirit Eye to avoid backlash.


    At that moment, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly began to blur under the spiritual light of two magic artifacts and then slowly transformed into a fantastical creature that resembled both a dragon and a horse.


    Is he¡­ a Dragon-horse!?


    Just as Chen Mobai thought of this, a loud roar, similar to that of a dragon¡¯s, echoed.


    He sensed an overpowering force of thunder erupting between the two magic artifacts ¨C Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s current power.


    Chen Mobai, who possessed the power of a Rank-3 Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder, immediately sensed the rank of this thunderous power.


    It¡¯s also Rank-3!


    Is this kid cheating or what!?


    Chen Mobai, being fully aware of how difficult it was to cultivate Rank-3 Thunder techniques, was utterly shocked and stared wide-eyed at Zhongli Tianyu as he transformed into a Dragon-horse, cloaked in a Thunder-Lightning Dharma Robe.


    ¡°Hahaha, it seems that even the heavens want me to erase the shame of losing to you. Today I¡¯ve broken through the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, time to test my newly learned Bagua Divine Thunder¡­¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Zhongli Tianyu, now transformed into a Dragon-horse, burst into hearty laughter.


    Having elevated his cultivation level and mastered Rank-3 Thunder techniques, his confidence surged, prompting him to brag unabashedly.


    But he indeed had the credentials to do so.


    At Daoist academy eighth grade, at the Foundation Establishment¡¯s eighth layer, along with mastering Rank-3 Thunder techniques.


    Even if it was last year¡¯s face-to-face exchange at the Jumang Daoist Academy, he probably would only lose to a few people like Chen Mobai, Pei Qingshuang, Xiahou Weihuan, and Wenren Xuewei.


    At this time, the Dragon-horse, Zhongli Tianyu, clad in the Bagua Divine Thunder Dharma Robe, steps out of the range of the two magic artifacts, raises a hoof, and a Zhen Hexagram image takes form.


    A deep purple thunder takes shape, turning into a massive three-meter-diameter thunderball. The terrifying explosive power sent tremors through the cave and even the underground lake began to boil as the thunderball flew towards Chen Mobai.


    To this, Chen Mobai remained motionless.


    ¡°Huh, after seeing my Dragon-Horse Aspect, do you admit your defeat?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but hesitate as his giant thunderball was already in front of Chen Mobai.


    Just as he prepared to change direction and spare Chen Mobai, his vision suddenly turned dark.


    Following this, he saw one giant translucent finger after another appearing from the void behind Chen Mobai. It was like a giant skeletal creature was emerging from the ground under Chen Mobai¡¯s feet, first extending a giant hand that covered the entire cave.


    Because this giant hand covered the whole Dragon-horse that Zhongli Tianyu had transformed into, his vision turned completely black.


    Even though Zhongli Tianyu immediately used his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings, he immediately felt as though his Divine Sense had fallen into a torture ground of a thousand swords, as wave after wave of intense pain accompanied by the colourful glows of the Five Elements cut into his Thunder-Lightning Dharma spheres.


    With a thunderous explosion, Chen Mobai, manipulating his All Laws Persona¡¯s enormous sword-arm, transformed it into the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation. The Dragon-horse, formed by Zhongli Tianyu, together with the thunderball pushed by his hoof, were both violently pushed to the ground.


    One wave of tremors after another forced Bian Jingchun, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, to transform into a White Dragon and take to the skies to avoid the falling stones.


    As if an earthquake was happening, the ground was seriously unstable.


    ¡°Chen junior, please show mercy, Little Zhong Li, although a bit dumb, is essentially not a bad person¡­¡±


    Bian Jingchun dodged the falling stones while hovering in mid-air and tried to mediate the situation.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai promptly dispelled his Thousand Swords Dharma Body that was pressing on Zhongli Tianyu so he couldn¡¯t move.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After witnessing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s achievements, he was even more reluctant to let him go.


    Apart from himself, this kid is arguably the strongest student from the four Daoist Academies, even trio Taishi Shu, Ling Dao, and Zong Zi wouldn¡¯t be his match.


    Such a genius was surely fit to be Chen Mobai¡¯s successor.


    Chen Mobai composed his thoughts, considering how to convince Zhongli Tianyu to willingly take up his position as chief.


    ¡°Well, he is exceptionally talented, but without proper guidance, he might fall into evil ways in the future. Making him the student council president was my way of guiding him towards a sense of collective responsibility and honor. Who knew he lacked the willpower and couldn¡¯t even make it half a year¡­¡±

 Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _1

    Chapter 637: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _1


    ¡°Damn, I don¡¯t accept this!¡±


    Once Chen Mobai had released the suppression of his Thousand Swords Dharma Body, Zhongli Tianyu got up again. His Dragon-Horse Aspect had been shattered, but the Bagua Immortal Lightning Robe on his body barely maintained its full form.


    Upon getting up, Zhongli Tianyu let his Bagua Mirror fly towards him, ready for another fight.


    He felt that with his Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivation level, together with his Rank-3 Thunder method and his life bound magic artifact, he shouldn¡¯t be losing so terribly against Chen Mobai.


    He should at least fight fiercely for several hundred rounds before losing reluctantly as an acknowledgment to his hard cultivation over the past year.


    With a ¡°Bang¡±!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Thousand Swords Dharma Body suppressed him again, pinning down Zhongli Tianyu.


    The incoming Bagua Mirror was then blocked in mid-air by his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    This powerful Rank-5 magic artifact, although now damaged, would give Chen Mobai a huge headache if it were to fully unleash its power.


    Back then, he had a tough time dealing with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Rank-4 sword artifact.


    ¡°Alright, alright, Little Zhongli, you need to mature. Junior Brother Chen is right too, you are talented, but if you only focus on yourself, it will be easy for you to have problems on passing the Heart Demon¡¯s trial during your Core Formation. I think it would be better for you to settle down in the Student Union for two years. It will also help temper your restlessness with all the mundane issues.¡±


    At this time, Bian Jingchun intervened to mediate.


    During this year, she was planning to refine her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture with the True Dragon Ding. However, she didn¡¯t expect Zhongli Tianyu to have some bizarre idea and started cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture as well.


    The True Dragon Ding is a powerful magic artifact made by a master craftsman from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, using the main Dragon Pulse from a different world. The Dragon Pulse contains the True Dragon Aspect, and everything with dragon attributes can be evolved from it.


    That¡¯s why Bian Jingchun was able to use the True Dragon Ding to train and adjust the White Dragon Aspect to suit her.


    One day, while Zhongli Tianyu was meditating, he suddenly thought of the Thunder method attached to his Bagua Mirror: the innate divine skill of the Primordial Beast, Longma.


    The Longma is also a descendant of the True Dragon in mythology, so could he take this opportunity to master it and turn it into his own divine skill?


    No sooner said than done, Zhongli Tianyu immediately approached Bian Jingchun. Although she was reluctant to give away the usage time of the True Dragon Ding, this artifact was not hers after all. And if it came to the higher-ups of the Daoist Academy, the background of the Zhongli family was not something she could compete with.


    Hence, Zhongli Tianyu had almost monopolized the use of the True Dragon Ding for the majority of the year.


    Compared to Bian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu was indeed a prodigy.


    He really managed to refine his Bagua Immortal Lightning into his divine skill within a year with the aid of the True Dragon Ding, and he even cultivated the Dragon-Horse Aspect with the Dragon Transformation Scripture.


    Unfortunately, despite how powerful Zhongli Tianyu was, he was still suppressed by Chen Mobai at will.


    But to Bian Jingchun, this was good news.


    She just wanted to send Zhongli Tianyu away so that she could focus on using the True Dragon Ding to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture.


    Zhongli Tianyu developing the Dragon-Horse Aspect within a year, although he already had some foundation and was influenced by the Dragon Transformation Scripture from an early age, still greatly stimulated Bian Jingchun. It made her feel a bit mediocre.


    Being beaten twice by Chen Mobai, in addition to the persuasion of Bian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu came to terms with himself.


    Once he confirmed that he definitely couldn¡¯t beat Chen Mobai, he stopped being stubborn to avoid getting beaten again.


    ¡°What was that spell you just used? Is it similar to the Dragon Transformation Scripture or some other spiritual control technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Thousand Swords Dharma Body was indeed intimidating, and indeed powerful. He suppressed the Rank-3 Bagua Immortal Lightning as soon as he made his move.


    Keep in mind, this is one of the six most powerful Thunder methods among the immortals, and the past Ancestor Zhongli built his reputation and opened up the heavens with this technique.


    Chen Mobai suppressed it with a single hand, which was quite excessively powerful.


    ¡°This is the Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm taught by Master Zuo Gong. But I¡¯ve just stepped into the beginner¡¯s threshold, and I can only form a formation with Five Elements Sword Light. I lack enough Sword Sha. If you want to learn, I can teach you.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a slight smile, hiding some truth, and started talking about the Sword Destruction Collection.


    Bian Jingchun and Zhongli Tianyu naturally knew Zuo Gong, the Core Formation Sword Cultivator from the Sword Control Department. After hearing this, they couldn¡¯t help but praise.


    Master Zuo Gong, hailed as the greatest Sword Cultivation Genius in the Immortal World in the past century, truly lives up to his reputation. He has actually created such a terrifying Sword Dao divine skill.¡±


    However, after hearing this, both of them dropped the idea of cultivating the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.


    Because in the Immortal World, Sword Sha is too precious. Although the Seven Sword Sha of Yin Yang and Five Elements can be bought, both of them have chosen their respective paths after establishing their foundations. One is cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture, and the other is cultivating Thunder method. There¡¯s just no time for them to divert their attention to the Sword Dao.


    Unless they are stuck at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment for a long period of time and are truly bored to death.

    ¡°Since this True Dragon Ding is so useful, you two think about it, is there a Dragon Aspect suitable for me?¡±


    After cleaning up the cave, the three of them found a place to sit down and start chatting.


    Chen Mobai acknowledged Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s talent. After all, his Rank-3 Thunder method was achieved entirely through empowerment. If he relied on his own cultivation, he estimated that it would only be possible to improve it after reaching Core Formation.


    Since the True Dragon Ding was so useful and conveniently at his side, it would be a waste not to use it.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the smile on Bian Jingchun¡¯s face, which had been happy about getting rid of Zhongli Tianyu, quickly faded.

 Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _2

    Chapter 638: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _2


    Chen Mobai¡¯s background is well-established. If it comes down to using the True Dragon Ding, she wouldn¡¯t stand a chance.


    ¡°Chen junior studies the Pure Yang Scroll. If he wanted to rely on that, he would only have the Flame Dragon Phase left. However, this Flame Dragon has always only been a legend in the Immortal sect, never been actually proven to exist,¡±


    Bian Jingchun immediately responded, half answering and half persuading.


    The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique also originated from the Spiritual Control Technique. If one wants to fully master it, they still need to refine the corresponding spirit beast blood essence.


    For instance, her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture is based on a single drop of Rank-3 white snake blood essence.


    On the other hand, Zhongli Tianyu is directly based on the source of the Bagua Mirror¡¯s power, considering the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit of the Zhongli ancestral master was already at Rank-5 and had long been integrated into the bloodline of the Zhongli clan.


    Zhongli Tianyu mastered the Dragon-Horse Aspect within a year, not only because of his extraordinary comprehension but also because his bloodline is tied to the Co-participation Legal Device ¨C the Bagua Mirror.


    The Flame Dragon suitable for Chen Mobai is purely a legend, said to be a type of fire dragon born from the heart of the earth, and there is no available spirit beast blood essence within the Immortal Sect that can be relied on.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that there isn¡¯t any, our ancestor once wrote a book called ¡®Ten Thousand Dragons Phase¡¯. It¡¯s only passed down within our clan, which recorded his speculation about various dragon forms in the Immortal Sect and different worlds of the universe, including a chapter about the Earth¡¯s Heart Flame Dragon. He mentioned a fire worm that grows in the mouth of a volcano. The refined essence of it can be used to increase the dragon form,¡±


    The words of Zhongli Tianyu left Bian Jingchun speechless.


    ¡°A fire worm? I¡¯d rather not, it doesn¡¯t conform to my aesthetics,¡±


    However, Chen Mobai shook his head after hearing.


    As someone who cares so much about his appearance, how could he possibly refine the essence of a worm into his body for cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Scripture!


    ¡°The Red Chain Snake would do too. But the essence derived from it leans towards the coiling dragon form, which does not match the Pure Yang Scroll very well,¡±


    ¡°Besides, I think you don¡¯t have to cultivate the Flame Dragon Phase. The evolution paths of the Great Sun Golden Crow, the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, and the Sun Swallowing Divine Ape, which are all fire attribute mythical beasts, are also comparable to the Earth¡¯s Heart Flame Dragon,¡±


    ¡°After all, with your talent, even if you simply cultivate the Spiritual Control Technique, I believe you can reach the pinnacle,¡±


    Upon hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hand modestly.


    ¡°My talent is actually not so great. My achievements are attributed to a combination of some good opportunities and hard work,¡±


    This was the truth. Since he couldn¡¯t use the True Dragon Ding, he had put the idea of cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture behind him.


    As for the Spiritual Control Technique, although it is compatible with any Cultivation Technique if chosen properly, it is certainly not something he would consider at this time.


    However, he did think of the Devouring Heaven Serpent he was raising in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    The creature is said to have the potential to evolve into any dragon or snake essence mentioned in legends, he was not sure if it could evolve into the legendary Flame Dragon.


    ¡°Do you also practice a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique?¡±


    At this time, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly asked a question.


    Everyone knew that Chen Mobai practices the Pure Yang Scroll, but beyond Sword Sha, his other powerful Magic Duel method is the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Therefore, everyone speculated that he might be practicing another hidden Secret Technique besides the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Yes, I practice a Cultivation Technique for longevity,¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide it. After all, within the Immortal Sect, many cultivators practice health preservation in order to extend their lifespan. It¡¯s reasonable for him to use it to comprehend the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°The Yi Wood Divine Thunder is a sub-branch of the Illusory Thunder. You might want to try this path,¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was born on a night of thunder and rain. It is said that he was born with thunder essence, so he has been interested in various thunder methods since he was a child.


    The Illusory Thunder is a life thunder, it is also a terrifying thunder method that can strike the heart and annihilate the soul, which is the Innate Divine Thunder of the ancient mythical beast, Kui Niu, and is the ultimate thunder method for four kinds of thunder methods: Jia Wood, Yi Wood, Water, and more.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand thunder methods too much, but Zhongli Tianyu was utterly familiar with the six major divine thunders of the Immortal Gate, and he couldn¡¯t help but give advice.


    ¡°Though ¡®all spirits can become dragons¡¯, this Kui Niu doesn¡¯t have the dragon form, so it¡¯s no use with the True Dragon Ding,¡±


    But Chen Mobai knew his own talent very well. If he was asked to purely cultivate the Illusory Thunder by his own efforts, he felt that he might not be able to get started in this lifetime.


    Bian Jingchun, who was on the side, promptly nodded in agreement with Chen Mobai¡¯s words, expressing that Kui Niu is not within the dragon phase.


    ¡°Apart from Kui Niu, the Illusory Thunder is also the Innate Divine Skill of another supreme mythical beast.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu hummed in disappointment at their lack of knowledge about thunder methods and reminded them.


    ¡°Which one?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about this, and Bian Jingchun was confused at first, but as someone who had cultivated the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, she had understood this aspect and immediately knew what Zhongli Tianyu was referring to.


    Even in the distant myths, it¡¯s considered the king of top-level mythical beasts!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The Azure Dragon!¡±


    Bian Jingchun announced seriously.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was overjoyed.


    Even as an outsider, he was familiar with the reputation of the Azure Dragon, the excellent among the excellent, even in the myth of all dragons, it is a dragon deity.


    ¡°This Azure Dragon form feels quite suitable for me. Which spirit beast¡¯s blood essence in the Immortal Sect can match this dragon evolution path?¡±

    Chapter 639: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _3


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun¡¯s complexion fluctuated between pale and green. She felt that her three-year leave might not be enough.


    ¡°The Green Snake will do, but don¡¯t get your hopes up too high. At most, you might be able to cultivate to the realm of the Azure Jiao. As for transforming into a dragon, you¡¯ll need to at least reach the realm of my ancestor Zhongli,¡± she cautioned.


    The Azure Dragon is a legend amongst legends. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not have enough power to completely manifest its form.


    Zhongli Tianyu simply suggested a path suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s practice of the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique.


    But that was enough.


    Their conversation opened up a vast new world for Chen Mobai.


    Upon reaching the Core Formation stage with his Dual Aspect Technique in the future, all the Spirit Power from the Longevity Sutra would be consumed by the Pure Yang Scroll. But if his practice of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder was left in the Rank-3 stage, and hence abandoned, it would be a grave wasted potential.


    Even if it¡¯s okay for magical duels, it was still crucial for growing his East Waste Spirit Plant. If he could continue his practice of Yi Wood Divine Thunder using the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique after Core Formation, he would not only retain this powerful Thunder Method but also pave the way for subsequent progress.


    Once he cultivates the Azure Dragon¡¯s form, even with his aptitude, he would definitely be able to understand the Illusory Thunder.


    Illusory Thunder¡¯s vitality-stimulating power surpasses the Yi Wood Divine Thunder. The ¡°Water of Ten Thousand Transformations¡± that it condenses is one of the most valuable Spiritual Waters in the Spirit Plant market. It has the powerful effect of revitalizing all beings and nurturing all things.


    ¡°Does the world of immortals have a Rank-3 Green Snake?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was daydreaming about using the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for his Farming in the Eastern Waste, he couldn¡¯t help but ask the critical question.


    ¡°You should ask an expert about that. I¡¯m only interested in Thunder Methods,¡± Zhongli Tianyu shook his head. Information regarding Spirit Beasts was beyond the scope of his interests, and he never bothered learning about it.


    Chen Mobai then turned to Bian Jingchun, who appeared somewhat dejected and only shook her head in response.


    ¡°Let me check¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.


    In the whole cultivation world, the ones who knew most about Spirit Beasts were the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and the True Spiritual Academy.


    In the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, although Chen Mobai knew quite a few people, he only had Lan Haitian¡¯s contact information. He wasn¡¯t sure how Lan Haitian, who had advanced to the Core Formation stage, was faring.


    After sending a text and seeing no reply from Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai guessed that he was probably still in seclusion and refrained from calling him directly.


    He wanted to ask Lu Qiulong from the True Spiritual Academy, but he realized he hadn¡¯t added him as a friend.


    However, he did have another way to contact Lu Qiulong.


    He logged on to Little Red Sky, searched his battle record, and found the one with Lu Qiulong. He sent a friend request.


    However, it seemed Lu Qiulong wasn¡¯t on Little Red Sky at the time, and he hadn¡¯t responded to Chen Mobai¡¯s friend request after some time.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask Lu Qiulong when I have time, he should know.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t wait any longer. Seeing that it was about time, he prepared to take Zhongli Tianyu back to the student council.


    ¡°Take care, junior brothers.¡±


    Chen Mobai also invited Bian Jingchun, but she had stopped using the True Dragon Ding for cultivation for a while. She wouldn¡¯t waste time here and bid them farewell with a wan smile.


    ¡°Senior Bian didn¡¯t seem too enthusiastic,¡±


    When Chen Mobai left with Zhongli Tianyu, he noticed this but didn¡¯t understand why.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. She¡¯s always like this.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shrugged nonchalantly. Every time he saw Bian Jingchun, she seemed uninterested. He assumed after a while that it was just how she was.


    Chen Mobai nodded in understanding and didn¡¯t dwell on it.


    ¡°Opportunities can be given once or twice but not three times. If you give up halfway again, your temperament won¡¯t pass, and you will suffer greatly in the future.¡±


    Upon returning to the student council¡¯s small Western-style building, Chen Mobai continued to earnestly persuade Zhongli Tianyu in his office. Though the latter appeared somewhat impatient, he didn¡¯t dare to argue after being beaten twice.


    ¡°Jialan, you will supervise him from now on. If he tries to run, notify me immediately.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about his upcoming meeting with Meng Huang. He needed to go back to South Mountain to get Nascent Soul Body and planned to leave early.


    Out of fear that Zhongli Tianyu would keep remembering the beatings but forget his words, he called Zhuang Jialan.


    ¡°Understood, President,¡± She replied eagerly.


    ¡°I¡¯m human too, I need my own regular rest time.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu protested dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Alright, Jialan, you can report to me every half a month. If his overall attendance rate is insufficient, I¡¯ll come to clean up.¡±


    ¡°Do I get a reward for my hard work for the students of the academy?¡±


    Startled by the sudden question from Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai reflexively mentioned school credits.


    ¡°Credits don¡¯t mean much to me. How about this? I just practiced the Bagua Immortal Thunder, and I¡¯m not yet proficient in mastering it. You can suppress your combat power and practice with me a few rounds in Little Red Sky.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at Zhongli Tianyu with some surprise¨Cthis guy had some smarts.


    ¡°Fine, but I¡¯m busy tonight.¡±

    However, Chen Mobai agreed without hesitation. After all, he was eager to cultivate Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal.¡±


    After the agreement, the two slapped their hands together in promise.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that this time Zhongli Tianyu would surpass his usual three minutes of excitement.


    For Zhongli Tianyu, there was only the last piece of the Bagua Mirror in the academy. Training his mentality in the council was indeed beneficial for him.

 Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _4

    Chapter 640: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _4


    After all, once he graduated, he would have plenty of time to cultivate the Thunder method and improve his cultivation level.


    Chen Mobai left the student council with ease.


    After returning to his wooden hut, he looked up, opened his Void Spirit Eye, attempted to confirm whether Meng Huang was there or not, but discovered he could only see a layer of fog.


    As a superstar, Meng Huang seemed to cherish her privacy. This villa was unexpectedly also safeguarded by a formation, which the Void Spirit Eye could not see through.


    Chen Mobai teleported to Xiao Nanshan, opened the Cloud Mist Array to see if there was anything like a message talisman, then picked up the puppet and initiated the return function.


    When he returned, he took out his phone and called Meng Huang.


    ¡°Mmm, I¡¯m here.¡±


    It seemed that Meng Huang let out a sigh of relief after answering.


    ¡°Well, wait a few minutes, I¡¯ll be right up.¡±


    After confirming with Chen Mobai, she hung up the phone. To avoid exposing his storage bag, he manipulated the puppet carrying two boxes of tea leaves and flew towards the mountaintop.


    This was his first time visiting Meng Huang since he rented this wooden hut eight years ago.


    Truthfully, it felt quite odd.


    During his freshman year, he was quite curious about the superstar Meng Huang, and even pondered whether he could become friends with her.


    However, due to his busy studies and his own efforts to obtain Foundation Building Pills, they didn¡¯t have much of an opportunity to get to know each other, and they never saw each other again.


    It was only after he established his own foundation that he added Meng Huang¡¯s contact information during an accidental encounter on his way to school.


    Likewise, because Meng Huang¡¯s voice was beneficial to his cultivation of the Divine Manipulation Technique, thanks to his own initiative, their relationship had somewhat improved.


    But for some reason or another¡­ they lost contact again!


    All Chen Mobai could remember were these interactions with Meng Huang.


    The mountain where they lived was not high, so Chen Mobai, along with the Puppet, arrived in no time.


    In the center of the mountaintop was Meng Huang¡¯s little villa.


    Before the two-story building was a vast flower sea. A green lawn path cut through it, and around it were clusters of Spirit Pines. A small stream that carried the scent of pines, flowers, and grass flowed around half of the mountain.


    But in this beautiful scenery, a beautiful girl commanded Chen Mobai¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    Chen Mobai was originally going to land at the main entrance and walk in, but Meng Huang, standing on the balcony of the second floor, waved to him, so he flew straight towards her.


    Meng Huang¡¯s hands were perched on top of the balcony¡¯s glass railing, supporting her fair, delicate chin. Her long dress swayed lightly with the mountain wind, outlining her slender and graceful figure, which was attractive and charming.


    Looking down from the air, Chen Mobai had Meng Huang as the center of his gaze, which extended to the mountains, flowers, green pines, and green leaves that surrounded them, forming a beautiful picture.


    He couldn¡¯t help taking out his phone and capturing this moment.


    ¡°It¡¯s really beautiful.¡±


    After Chen Mobai flew to Meng Huang¡¯s side, he showed her the photo he took on his phone. Indeed, the composition was perfect; the girl and the surrounding scenery blended perfectly, with her at the center.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Upon seeing the photo, Meng Huang lowered her head, her face slightly reddened.


    ¡°This is Snow Needle Spiritual Tea, which, if consumed regularly, can clear the mind and enhance understanding.¡±


    Chen Mobai, using the puppet beside him, placed the two boxes of tea on the delicate glass table on the balcony, for which Meng Huang thanked him again.


    ¡°After your failed Foundation Establishment, I actually wanted to comfort you, but I didn¡¯t know how to initiate the conversation.¡±


    The two of them sat on the small couch on the balcony. Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    ¡°After my failed Foundation Establishment, I just wanted to hide far away. If you tried to comfort me, it might have made me feel even worse.¡±


    Meng Huang responded understandingly. After her unsuccessful bold attempt at Foundation Establishment, she had switched off her phone and staggered her healing with periods of solitude, which lasted half a year.


    At that time, she was utterly dispirited, not wanting to entertain anyone.


    It was only as time went on and she started to come to terms with her circumstances, that she emerged from her seclusion.


    ¡°Luckily, I have the puppet given by Master Car, it cannot improve your Foundation Establishment probability, but it can help you identify and remedy flaws by simulating your cultivation technique¡¯s Foundation Establishment scenario.¡±


    All the students at Dance Tool Dao Academy can use the puppet once. Meng Huang had used it during her first Foundation Establishment.


    It was because that simulation showed her successfully establishing her foundation that she daringly decided to take the three treasures of Foundation Establishment even without comprehending the critical point law.


    ¡°The puppet is just a puppet, after all, it only has two options; if your success rate of Foundation Establishment is over 50%, it will show successful Foundation Establishment. The main point is to check if there are any defects or loopholes in the cultivation of your cultivation technique.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing Meng Huang complain, Chen Mobai explained the puppet¡¯s operating mechanism and principle with a smile.


    But the probability of Foundation Establishment, in essence, was never 100%, it could only offer some solace.


    Even if you comprehend the critical point law, there would still be a possibility of failure. The only difference was that the critical point law could pause the process of Foundation Establishment, allowing cultivators unlimited attempts to explore and learn from their mistakes.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. I just recently queued up for the Foundation Establishment Baos¡¯s simulation opportunity, and it showed that my probability of successful Foundation Establishment this time is only 46%, which is even lower than the first time.¡±


    Between Meng Huang¡¯s words, she pulled up a screenshot of the Foundation Establishment Bao on her phone.

 Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _5

    Chapter 641: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _5


    As a major celebrity, she exerted some power, enough to cut the line in using fundamental establishment resources.


    After checking out her interface, Chen Mobai noticed she had selected three Foundation Establishment treasures, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Jade Marrow Pill, Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment Technique, and also filled in about her last foundation establishment attempt. Among them was even the Method of Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Despite such preparation, Meng Huang still failed in the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid during her last performance, managing to condense only five drops of Liquid Spiritual Power.


    This also implied that she had theoretically completed the first step of Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and Jade Marrow Pill would have hardly any effect on her.


    ¡°If you attempt foundation establishment again, you will be able to easily complete the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow stage without hindrance, requiring only a Vein Protection Pill.¡±


    It would be a waste to use Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and Jade Marrow Pill, Chen Mobai implied without really saying it.


    ¡°I¡¯m not confident, and besides, eating more has no harm.¡±


    Meng Huang shared her inner thoughts. Although the Sect encourages no waste, they still treated someone of her special talent more leniently.


    ¡°True, but your key problem still lies in the Condensing Qi into Liquid stage. Given your voice can enhance our Divine Sense, you should be able to pass the barrier of Divine Sense easily with your many years of exposure.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai took it for granted. Upon hearing this, Meng Huang pouted, looking wronged.


    ¡°My voice is beneficial to everyone but myself. Only the Heartstring Mystical Sound emanating from my entire body during breakthroughs can benefit me.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai could not help but feel surprised. No wonder she hasn¡¯t managed to establish her foundation with all her aptitude. Turns out she was immune to her own voice.


    ¡°What is Heartstring Mystical Sound?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai asked again, thinking that if it could be useful to Meng Huang, it would be even more useful to him.


    ¡°The Mystic Sound Method I cultivate has various accompanying emotional sounds. When played with the heart, it can initiate resonance from the apertures in a person¡¯s body, transforming into mystic sounds that refine the spirit. These are the ¡®Heartstring Mystical Sounds¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood. No wonder they felt thoroughly cleansed and refreshed after listening to Meng Huang¡¯s songs. It was the resonance from their own apertures, playing the chord that suited them the most.


    These Heartstring Mystical Sounds require the performer to infuse their heart¡¯s power and spiritual power, and hence is most effective when listened to live.


    ¡°How can your Heartstring Mystic Sound be induced then?¡±


    Chen Mobai further queried, and Meng Huang answered that whenever she was breaking through a realm, her Mystic Sound Method would spontaneously trigger the Heavenly Music which in turn would cleanse her spirit.


    ¡°What is the Heavenly Music?¡±


    Chen Mobai, the kind to ask questions when he did not understand, had Meng Huang explaining every point with her fingers coiled like tender spring onions.


    ¡°Music can be divided into Heavenly Music, Earthly Music, and Human Music. Heavenly Music is the sound emitted from the operation of natural laws and the vast universe, reflecting the laws of Dao. The Shocking God Sonata of our Sect performs the Heavenly Music, allowing listeners to hear Dao.¡±


    ¡°Earthly Music is the resonance caused by everything in the world, a frequency that suits their existence. Destroy this frequency, and it can be shattered. This is the attack method of us music cultivators.¡±


    ¡°And Human Music is the resonating sound of a person¡¯s own meridian points, bones etc. What my Heartstring Mystical Sound triggers is this. In this state, anyone can possess the most perfect spiritual cultivation, doubling their cultivation efficiency and even potentially induce a mystical state of Enlightenment!¡±


    Chen Mobai was astounded upon hearing this.


    So, the Enlightenment during Foundation Establishment was also a Human Music, meaning Meng Huang could aid others in the fundamental establishment.


    ¡°After my foundation establishment, a song performed wholeheartedly on average can improve the Foundation Establishment chance of Qi Practitioners by 5%.¡±


    Since everyone¡¯s Human Music is different, Meng Huang can only do her best to trigger resonance with her voice. Based on historic data, this average percentage is 5%.


    But this was already quite impressive. She was like a living, endless source of Foundation Establishment treasure.


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t Jiang Yuyuan established his foundation? If he plays a dance for you, would that be of any help?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, but Meng Huang just shook her head bitterly.


    ¡°Those of us who cultivate the Mystic Sound Method are immune to each other¡¯s sounds. The only thing useful to us is the Heavenly Music.¡±


    This was precisely why in the Sect, cultivators who could afford to, would generally not choose to cultivate the Mystic Sound Method.


    Because this path was simply too unfriendly to the cultivator itself.


    The Mystic Sound Method was a Cultivation Technique that involved sacrificing oneself for others.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I think it would still be possible for you to change your Cultivation Technique before establishing Foundation.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but speak his mind.


    ¡°However, the Mystic Sound Method allows me to play the Shocking God Sonata, which, once performed, offers a chance for us to understand the Mysteries of the Spirit Transforming through the mystical sounds.¡±


    Shaking her head, Meng Huang mentioned the only use of the Mystic Sound Method.


    In the history of the Sect, there was an era with the most dazzling brilliance when four Divinity Transformation cultivators were born within a short hundred years.


    Among the four, three were listeners and one a performer, all owing their success to the Shocking God Sonata.

 Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _6

    Chapter 642: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _6


    The very first who achieved Divinity Transformation was this performer.


    After the Song of Shocking God was played, his heart and mind closely followed the path of heavenly music. His body hum was harmonious with the melody of the heavens, and he had merged with the way. In less than a hundred years, he had ascended from Nascent Soul¡¯s initial stage to the completion of the Way of God Transformation, and he was the fastest to become divinity in the Immortal¡¯s Gate.


    Therefore, although the Mystic Sound Method is a sacrifice for cultivators, these sacrifices could potentially lead to final transcendence. With infinite divine sense released as though a fluttering butterfly, traveling in the waves of the music of the path, always remaining in the state of Enlightenment.


    For this reason, there are still quite a few cultivators within the Immortal¡¯s Gate studying the Mystic Sound Method. They hope that one day they will be able to rewrite the Song of Shocking God again.


    ¡°The choices I made are always correct.¡±


    Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai was able to encourage Meng Huang in the same way.


    Next, he initiated the formless mannequin, but he still needed Meng Huang to provide the most detailed body data.


    ¡°Here is my medical report from a check-up I underwent last year. However, the human body is constantly undergoing subtle changes. I think maybe I should go for another check-up at the hospital.¡±


    In striving for perfection, Meng Huang was about to stand up. Chen Mobai promptly stopped her and took out his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    ¡°What I have here is made in imitation of the Principal¡¯s Soulful Mirror. It has this feature. If you don¡¯t mind, I can help you scan.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Meng Huang¡¯s face turned slightly red. As a normal-minded girl, she thought it was appropriate to blush at this time, showing her embarrassment.


    ¡°Should I stand up?¡±


    After a pause, Meng Huang spoke up first.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°No need. You can sit. Just don¡¯t cross your legs.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately instructed Meng Huang, who was sitting on the opposite sofa. After her right leg, which had been crossed over the other, was placed down, her slender and evenly proportioned legs were straightened under the skirt, like a fine piece of ivory art.


    The scan of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was done in no time. Chen Mobai took a glance and marveled at the perfection of her body proportions. However, he didn¡¯t show any change in expression but quickly transferred Meng Huang¡¯s body data and the entire downloaded Mystic Sound Method into the formless mannequin.


    ¡°I¡¯m starting now. You should record it carefully. Any parts you don¡¯t understand, we can discuss later.¡±


    Meng Huang nodded nervously, and Chen Mobai started the process of Foundation Establishment deduction as if it was second nature to him.


    The facts proved that the Foundation Treasure had no issues, but this Foundation Establishment deduction failed, indicating that the success rate was less than 50%.


    ¡°So, it still doesn¡¯t work!¡±


    Seeing the result, Meng Huang¡¯s face was filled with disappointment.


    Chen Mobai discussed the process of performing the Mystic Sound Method with her and found that there were essentially no problems. After all, as a key development target, she wasn¡¯t lacking in mentorship.


    Chen Mobai stopped the operation of the formless mannequin and could only offer gentle advice.


    ¡°Senior sister, maybe you should wait a little longer. After all, you have one more year. Maybe you will comprehend the threshold technique.¡±


    Meng Huang was one grade higher than Chen Mobai. Next year, Chen Mobai would be in ninth grade, while she would be a tenth-grader. This was indeed her last chance.


    If she still could not succeed in the Foundation Establishment, she could only get married or serve in the military.


    However, as a seed of the Song of Shocking God, Chen Mobai believed that the Immortal¡¯s Gate would give her a few more years of time. After all, the Mystic Sound Method was of great significance to the masses of the Immortal¡¯s Gate.


    ¡°Junior brother, actually there is a skill that I didn¡¯t select on the Foundation Treasure. If it were added, the success rate could be significantly increased.¡±


    At this moment, Meng Huang gritted her teeth and said something surprising.


    ¡°Oh? May I ask what it is?¡±


    ¡°I have a skill of Equaling Heaven Art. It is to borrow the auspicious Qi luck of a Great Qi Luck Holder to enhance my own luck in a short period of time. After using this technique, during the Foundation Establishment, I will get great fortune all the way to heaven and everything will go smoothly.¡±


    ¡°There is such a technique in the Immortal¡¯s Gate!?¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai heard of this ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡±, and he couldn¡¯t help but show a look of surprise.


    Immediately, he realized why Meng Huang told him this.


    ¡°Senior sister, do you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Correct, junior brother. As the top student of the Daoist Academy, your natural talent and speed of cultivation are both top-notch in the Immortal¡¯s Gate. Definitely, you are a Great Qi Luck Holder, or perhaps even a legendary protagonist. If you are willing to temporarily lend your Qi luck to me at the time of my Foundation Establishment, I believe that I can overcome this difficulty.¡±


    Since Meng Huang had already opened her mouth, she didn¡¯t hesitate. She stated all her plans in one go.


    ¡°Senior sister, I think this talk of Qi luck is unreliable. Cultivators from the Immortal¡¯s Gate should always be materialistic.¡±


    Among the Immortal¡¯s Gate, most cultivators believe that attainable power and realms are the most practical existence, while the so-called luck and fortune are feudal superstitions.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having received the most orthodox education at Immortal¡¯s Gate since a young age, Chen Mobai used to believe in power and realms, too.


    However, after obtaining the Turtle Treasure, his perspective slightly changed. He thought that luck sometimes is crucial, too.


    Yet, in front of Meng Huang, he pretended not to believe in Qi luck.


    Because he didn¡¯t want to lend his Qi luck to Meng Huang. Who knew if this ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡± had any after-effects, or whether he could get his Qi luck back once it was lent out?


    ¡°Junior brother, we can be honest with each other. Before performing the Equaling Heaven Art, we can agree to a mutual Dao contract, and you can propose any conditions.¡±

 Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _7

    Chapter 643: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _7


    After Meng Huang spoke openly, she felt as if she had pierced the cover of her own heart and began to talk openly about the transaction.


    ¡°Senior sister, I really have no other demands of you.¡±


    Since Meng Huang had said so, Chen Mobai honestly expressed his own thoughts.


    Although listening to her Heartstring Mystical Sound helped him with his Divine Sense in various ways, Chen Mobai felt that this was not worth letting Meng Huang apply the Equaling Heaven Art on him.


    ¡°If I reach the Foundation Establishment, the Mystic Sound Method can draw a thread of the heaven¡¯s melody to act upon myself. Although I am the only one who can hear it, I can play it through the Heartstring Mystical Sound, which is very beneficial to you. It is said to be particularly useful for breaking through the bottleneck of Divine Sense.¡±


    Meng Huang gave her first condition.


    However, she felt that this would probably not be very attractive to Chen Mobai, given that he is a real genius. Any bottleneck for him would not last long, and he might not encounter any Divine Sense bottleneck at all.


    But after hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    This Rank-6 Foundation Establishment bottleneck had troubled him for a full year.


    Since consuming the Enlightenment Tea, he had tried various methods, whether through meditative sitting or using external objects, and had almost finished the drink made from the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud, but still couldn¡¯t break through.


    However, Chen Mobai was mentally prepared for this as he knew he wasn¡¯t a genius and it was normal to encounter a bottleneck.


    He even felt that if he could break through this Divine Sense bottleneck before graduation, that would already be acceptable.


    But now Meng Huang said that she could actually help him if she successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai suddenly felt that if he set all kinds of limitations in advance to ensure that he would not fail to pay back and would not have any after-effects, this Equaling Heaven Art might be worth considering.


    ¡°And every time I break through a minor realm, the Heartstring Mystical Sound plays to its most intense beat. When I break through from rank-1 to rank-9 of Foundation Establishment, you can be by my side the entire time, which can greatly enhance your divine sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai remained silent for a long time, and Meng Huang thought that the first condition was not very useful for a genius like him. She gritted her teeth and put forward her second bargaining chip.


    To her, this was almost equivalent to offering her youth during her Foundation Establishment period.


    ¡°I need to go back and consider it carefully.¡±


    After hearing these two conditions, Chen Mobai almost couldn¡¯t resist agreeing. Fortunately, he willed himself to resist the temptation and felt that it would be safer to go back and check the relevant information, or consult with Che Yucheng.


    ¡°If that¡¯s still not enough, I have a final condition.¡±


    Meng Huang knew that the previous two conditions were not attractive enough for a genius like Chen Mobai.


    After all, even without her, this chief will eventually complete his Foundation Establishment and may even reach the Core Formation. Even this seemingly impassable barrier will probably only delay an exceptional person like him for sixty years at most.


    So she gritted her teeth and offered her last and most precious offer.


    ¡°When I reach Perfection of Foundation Establishment, I can cultivate the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Body and trigger the process of Core Formation. I can attract the heavenly melody. If you are with me at that time, you can listen to the trajectory of the Dao¡¯s sound through my body in its most intense state.¡±


    ¡°Prevailing records state that Foundation Establishment cultivators have the opportunity to break through the Great Realm bottleneck by listening to the Dao¡¯s sound trajectory and opening the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to the level of Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°If you agree to the Dao Heart Pact with me, I am willing to offer this as well.¡±


    As she said this, Meng Huang¡¯s face became completely calm. She had no other emotions at this moment and only wanted to hurdle over Foundation Establishment.


    Furthermore, if they combined forces, she might be able to break through the Great Realm bottleneck of the Divine Sense with the help of Chen Mobai¡¯s pure Yuan Yang during Foundation Establishment. This would be a case of mutual concession, helping each other out.


    ¡°Senior sister, your words are too shocking. My naive heart can¡¯t quite bear them.¡±


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed for her dedication to the way of cultivation.


    As a pure young man, hearing these words and looking at the beautiful woman standing before him, with her fair skin and slender body, his previously innocent thoughts inevitably drifted to somewhat inappropriate imaginings.


    ¡°These are the only conditions I can offer. If you¡¯re willing, we can make a vow of commitment here and now. If you¡¯re not, please at least leave me some dignity and promise to keep what I said today between us, alright?¡±


    A bitter look crossed Meng Huang¡¯s refined face. Hearing her helpless words and meeting her vulnerable gaze, Chen Mobai finally couldn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°Ah, having said all that, how can I possibly refuse?¡±


    The second he spoke these words, an enchanting glow blossomed within Meng Huang¡¯s initially mournful eyes, shining as if the sun had finally broken through the long-lasting gloomy clouds. Her beauty was stunning.


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss the terms of the contract then.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s externally calm demeanor finally broke. It took all the courage she had to say what she did today.


    Now that she¡¯d received positive confirmation, she was suddenly overcome with unutterable shyness.


    This wasn¡¯t the feigned blush she¡¯d been sporting. This was genuine embarrassment.


    The thought of revealing her true self to the stunning young man in front of her caused all the shame and trembling she thought she could handle to come rushing back, turning her whole body as red as beetroot.


    [Keep calm, this is just a straightforward exchange. We each need something from the other. For the sake of Ascending to become Immortals, all these sacrifices are worthwhile.]


    Meng Huang kept repeating this to herself, reminding herself to stay calm. Looking at the youth in front of her, there¡¯s a possibility that he might become the leader of the immortals if he successfully forms his Nascent Soul.


    She was just selling her most precious resources to the best bidder.


    As of now, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t yet graduated. If he became more familiar with the temptations of the path to immortality, he might overlook the conditions Meng Huang was offering.


    This young man could become her greatest ally in the next few hundred years.


    Meng Huang managed to regain her composure by inwardly chanting that this was merely a transaction.


    She took out a prepared piece of paper with her proposed three conditions and various details about the Equaling Heaven Art. It also included her life assurance that the technique wouldn¡¯t inflict any future impact on Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation path.


    Chen Mobai returned to his senses and inwardly cursed himself for giving in to the temptation.


    However, if he backed out now, he feared that Meng Huang might take her own life out of shame. Besides, this arrangement wasn¡¯t detrimental to him in any way.

    Nevertheless, he still scrutinized every word and underlined certain clauses he found inappropriate.


    By the time both of them agreed on the terms of the contract, the sun had almost set.


    ¡°This place really does have the best view of the entire mountain.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood on the balcony, looking at the lingering glow of the sunset. The faint yellow hue cast upon Meng Huang¡¯s flawless, snow-white face was an enchanting sight. Unable to resist, he reached out his hand to grip her right hand resting on the glass rail.


    Meng Huang quivered!

    Chapter 644: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_1


    Meng Huang quivered and, unable to suppress her body¡¯s instinct, withdrew her hand.


    Chen Mobai did not grip it tightly either, sensing that his action had been somewhat impulsive.


    Having just reached an agreement with Meng Huang, he suddenly felt as if he owned this big star. Under the beautiful sunset, he was somewhat carried away.


    ¡°When are you planning on initiating the Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai was the first to speak, breaking the silence.


    ¡°After the finals, I have already booked a room in building nine with the highest-ranking Spiritual Energy. I will go there first, and you should get a room as cover. Come to my room at night, I¡¯ll let you in.¡±


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a subtle thrill inside him.


    Perhaps all men experience these feelings when they engage in clandestine activities.


    However, both of them were high-profile figures within the Daoist Academy, and if people saw them checking into a room together, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir. Hence, Meng Huang¡¯s consideration is extremely thoughtful.


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you said. Also, what should I prepare if I were to implement the Equaling Heaven Art?¡±


    Having confirmed the time of Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai proceeded to ask another key question.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare anything, I¡¯ve already asked someone to draw the Talisman for the Equaling Heaven Art, and we can simply inject spiritual power to activate it.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s response sparked a deep interest in Chen Mobai. As a Rank-2 Talisman Master of the Immortal School, he was quite curious about this unheard-of method of transforming a spell into a Talisman.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°May I look at this Talisman?¡±


    ¡°The Talisman-Maker is still working on it; they promised to send it to me two days before my Foundation Establishment. That¡¯s why I scheduled it at that time.¡±


    After listening to Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was regretful. But after all, he wouldn¡¯t have to wait much longer. When the time comes, he can carefully examine it and take some photos.


    ¡°By the way, where is your ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere?¡¯ It was the original reason for my visit today.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered the initial motive for his visit, which was digressed by Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art. He almost forgets that matter.


    ¡°It¡¯s in my studio. Please wait here, and I¡¯ll get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, watching Meng Huang¡¯s graceful silhouette enter the hall. She then opened a practice room in a corner, taking a tray out with her.


    There were five ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ on the tray.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sketch the shapes of the Magic Artifacts within the spheres for you, and you can see which one suit you.¡±


    Chen Mobai expertly used his Void Spirit Eye to see through the five Magic Artifacts. Taking the sketchbook and pencil from Meng Huang, he used his exquisite drawing skills to vividly illustrate each Magic Artifact on the paper.


    There were guqin, pipa, jade flute, guzheng, and waist drum.


    ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯re number one in Talismans.¡±


    Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help praising him when she saw the lifelike illustrations Chen Mobai had drawn.


    ¡°This pipa is good. I have seen it in the Map of Treasures before. It¡¯s a lower-grade Rank-2 instrument, and the previous owner was also cultivating the Mystic Sound Method.¡±


    Meng Huang had virtually studied all the music-related Magic Artifacts in the Map of Treasures in anticipation of her meeting with Chen Mobai. So, as soon as she saw the real nature of the spheres, she immediately picked her target.


    ¡°Alright then, I will wait for you in the Treasure Trove tomorrow.¡±


    Opening the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ requires the use of a Device Piece to trigger the fire of the Treasure Trove.


    With all matters settled, an awkward silence fell between them once again.


    Chen Mobai felt that his relationship with Meng Huang was progressing a bit too fast. He needed to go back and cool down, so he proposed to leave first.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Meng Huang responded softly, her head lowered.


    Had Chen Mobai not been fully focusing on her, he might not have heard her at all.


    After flying off the balcony to his own wooden house, Chen Mobai suddenly slapped his head.


    Such a great opportunity, why didn¡¯t he think of asking Meng Huang to sing a solo for him!


    This has been a dream of his since the first time he learned about Meng Huang.


    It should be considered fulfilled now.


    Although he thought so, Chen Mobai still suppressed the urge to fly back. They would have plenty of opportunities to listen to Meng sing in the future, given the progress in their relationship.


    At night.


    Inside the hilltop villa.


    Meng Huang was speaking on the phone with someone: ¡°Yes, the time has been set, let¡¯s hope the Equaling Heaven Art really works.¡±


    [Don¡¯t worry. You know our reputation in this area. We have also made a vow with you to ensure that this Equaling Heaven Art will not cause after-effects to either party.]


    Meng Huang: ¡°If it weren¡¯t so, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed.¡±


    [For us, you are just a piece on the board we occasionally move. Don¡¯t take yourself too seriously.]


    After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meng Huang set down her phone expressionlessly.


    Although in the eyes of outsiders, she is a musical genius who could potentially play the Shocking God Sonata, in the eyes of top echelons, she is just another slightly outstanding cultivator.


    Without successful Foundation Establishment, she would soon join the rank of countless cultivators from the Immortal history who had practiced the Mystic Sound Method, and fade into history as their voices aged.


    Since she failed to establish her Foundation and learned about the Equaling Heaven Art during her national tour, she has been looking for someone to borrow luck from.


    As a big star, she has quite a few connections.

 Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_2

    Chapter 645: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_2


    However, the concept of Qi Luck was vague and elusive. The ancient tradition that provided the Equaling Heaven Art said that the higher a person¡¯s cultivation level, the higher their Qi Luck was.


    But she couldn¡¯t handle Core Formation Cultivators, nor did she have the capital to negotiate. Among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, she had access to many geniuses, but there were only a handful she could trust.


    After much deliberation, her only choice was to select from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The easiest choice would naturally be her old friend Jiang Yuyuan, who had collaborated with her for ten years. But after Meng Huang failed to establish her Foundation, she wanted to make the best out of this new attempt. She wanted to find someone who was blessed with great fortune and had an overwhelming Qi luck.


    She looked through her circle of friends and found the most dazzling person in the Immortal Gate in the past two years.


    If it were him, he should be a Great Qi Luck Holder.


    He dominated the Little Red Sky and remained undefeated through countless battles.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s dominance at the same realm was almost on par with Lan Haitian.


    He was practically the protagonist of this era.


    But at that time, Meng Huang was still hesitating and hadn¡¯t made up her mind. After all, she had to give it her all to seize this opportunity, so she had to be extremely cautious about the object of the Equaling Heaven Art.


    Later, news from Jumang Daoist Academy came that Chen Mobai had swept the top ten academies of the four major daoist institutions.


    Meng Huang initially thought it was a normal beatdown like in the Little Red Sky until she saw the list of Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents.


    Pei Qingshuang, Wen Renxuewei, Xiahou Weihuan, Qi Huanzhi, Lou Fengcheng¡­


    wuxiaworld.site


    Without exception, all of them were the top prodigies in the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Immortal Gate, the most powerful graduates of the Daoist Academy in the Foundation Building Realm in this sexagenary cycle.


    It could be said that excluding Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai had swept all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Immortal Gate.


    Many even believed that if Lan Haitian had not just achieved Core Formation, he would have been defeated had he encountered Chen Mobai.


    If Lan Haitian gave people a vision of Nascent Soul Formation, then Chen Mobai, with the talent he displayed at the Foundation Establishment Realm, was already at the Deity Transformation Level.


    This man must be a Great Qi Luck Holder!


    From that point on, Meng Huang made up her mind to choose Chen Mobai as the object for her Equaling Heaven Art!


    But to her surprise, the message she sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no response from Chen Mobai at all.


    She gritted her teeth, deciding to wait a little longer.


    However, the wait turned out to be nearly a whole semester.


    Chen Mobai did not only not reply to her message, but he also barely appeared in the Daoist Academy.


    On the rare occasion that he did show up, he left abruptly as soon as he arrived.


    Seeing the semester come to an end and realizing she only had one year left, Meng Huang finally couldn¡¯t sit still any longer. She began actively visiting the student union under the pretense of consulting the Map of Treasures.


    She knew the responsibilities of the student union, and at the end of the semester, Chen Mobai, as chairman, had to preside over it anyway.


    Especially with Zhongli Tianyu, the successor, having run away.


    Meng Huang guessed right. Today she ¡°accidentally¡± ran into Chen Mobai while strolling in the student union. According to the script she had rehearsed countless times in her mind, she was thinking of how to naturally find a chance to have a private conversation with him.


    Before she could speak, Chen Mobai proposed visiting her directly.


    This left Meng Huang overjoyed. But she restrained her inner exhilaration, and without any reluctance, she immediately agreed.


    Then came today¡¯s transaction.


    Thinking about the specific content, Meng Huang¡¯s pretty face turned red again.


    At that time, for the purpose of Foundation Establishment, she put everything at stake, so she didn¡¯t care about those embarrassing emotions. But now that she reflected on it carefully, she admired her own courage.


    This time, it will be successful!


    With that thought, Meng Huang, hoping for successful Foundation Establishment, walked to the window and looked towards the small, lit cottage at the foot of the mountain.


    The next day.


    Chen Mobai woke up from meditation, put the dried-up Spirit Stone in his storage bag, and picked up the mobile phone at his feet.


    Meng Huang: [What time should I come over?]


    Chen Mobai looked at the timing of this message ¨C it was sent at five o¡¯clock in the morning. He didn¡¯t expect her to have the habit of getting up early.


    [Come in the afternoon. I need to deal with some things in the morning, including having a couple of bouts with Zhongli Tianyu in the Little Red Sky.]


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s reply, Meng Huang, who hadn¡¯t slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Remembering her past interactions with Chen Mobai, she felt a bit reactionary.


    She deeply feared that this guy wouldn¡¯t reply to her message for another year or so.


    So after seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s reply, her anxiety, which had lasted for over an hour, finally eased up.


    However, she soon gritted her teeth in slight frustration.


    She actually had to wait until the afternoon!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But since she needed Chen Mobai¡¯s help, she had no choice but to send a smiling emoji back, signaling ¡°okay¡±.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much of it.


    When committing to a promise, there is a first-come-first-served rule, and he had already promised Zhongli Tianyu yesterday that he would help him master the Bagua Immortal Thunder, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t break his word.


    He originally thought of using a Short Teleportation Talisman to transport himself directly to the student union, but he suddenly wanted to revisit the feeling of walking to the Daoist Academy, and incidentally, check out the new juniors in the Daoist Academy.


    However, going on his own would be a bit boring.

 Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: 406

    Chapter 646: 406


    Meng Huang was planning to take advantage of the morning to rest and ensure her condition was perfect for when she opened the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± in the afternoon. However, she saw that Chen Mobai had actually called her.


    ¡°School sister, shall we go to school together?¡±


    After a moment of silence, Meng Huang thought a lot, but ultimately responded with just one word.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    On the mountain road, Chen Mobai waited for a while before he saw Meng Huang ride her floating skateboard, flying out from the balcony of the mountain top villa.


    ¡°How nostalgic!¡±


    Watching the gracefully flying young girl, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help reminiscing about the scene when the two of them first encountered each other here.


    Meng Huang seemed not to have changed at all; still wearing the same white shirt, light coat, and skinny jeans outlining her round and slender legs, perfectly presenting her impeccable body proportions.


    It seemed like she had also spotted Chen Mobai, for she twisted her slender waist slightly mid-air and descended towards him.


    Coming closer, Chen Mobai realized how she had changed from the years before.


    Her hair seems to have grown longer, the bright, black tresses reaching her waist. Together with her exceptionally pretty face, delicate makeup, and faintly red lips, she seemed more charming than before.


    More mature!


    ¡°Good Morning!¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    After Meng Huang landed, she showed Chen Mobai a dazzling smile.


    ¡°School sister, good morning.¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled the moment when he had just started school, he had felt a bit excited when he found out that Meng Huang would be his neighbor. The thought of casually meeting and laughing together with her on the way to school crossed his mind more than once.


    The dreamy scene he had imagined in the past had once again become a reality today.


    All sorts of indescribable joy made Chen Mobai feel an unprecedented sense of complete satisfaction.


    A crack!


    Only he heard the cracking noise in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. The Divine Sense bottleneck that had been plaguing Chen Mobai for nearly a year showed signs of breaking under this powerful sense of satisfaction.


    ¡°What is it? We¡¯ll be late if we don¡¯t go.¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai standing on the mountain road, constantly staring blankly at her, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help but laugh a little, thinking that her carefully prepared makeup and outfit had worked; she twisted her waist a bit and led the way towards Crimson Mountain on her skateboard.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind being late, after all, it doesn¡¯t matter whether I go to class or not.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the pulse of the Divine Sense bottleneck loosening and cracking, while also stepping out to keep pace with Meng Huang.


    This celebrity really was his lucky star.


    It seems that his success in the Divine Manipulation Technique was largely thanks to her last time.


    It also appeared that the Divine Sense bottleneck that had troubled him for a year was showing signs of breaking because of her.


    In that case, he needed to help her with the Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai knew how to distinguish kindness from grudges.


    After this incident, he felt that she should be assisted with the Equaling Heaven Art, even if Meng Huang didn¡¯t have those conditions.


    But they agreed upon the contract last night, each making a Daoist oath.


    [Never mind, not to think about these irrelevant things, I should help her establish foundation first.]


    Chen Mobai shook his head, and after emptying his thoughts, he walked together with Meng Huang on the morning mountain road.


    In the woods, the chirping of birds and the clear dew falling from lush leaves, accompanied by the scent of fresh grass, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help humming a pleasant tune.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what she was humming, but he felt his mind was refreshing, and an unprecedented tingling sensation rose in his heart.


    What a beautiful melody!


    He decided never to use the Short Teleportation Talisman to go to the student council from now on.


    This is what it means to go to school!


    However, even if the road was long, it had an end. Especially considering their residence was in the Crimson Mountain range, which was relatively close to the Daoist Academy.


    Even though they intentionally slowed down, they still arrived at the steps of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Does the school sister have any classes this morning?¡±


    Chen Mobai talked with Meng Huang while walking towards the academy on the mountain. As a cultivator who was at the foundation establishment stage, he didn¡¯t need to attend classes regularly, only required not to be absent at the final exams.


    ¡°Me? No class in the morning!¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s words stunned Chen Mobai for a second.


    ¡°No class? If you don¡¯t have classes, why come to school? With this extra time, it would be better for you to meditate and practice Qi Cultivation. The key to successful Foundation Establishment lies in these normal persistences and tiny details¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely hoped for Meng Huang¡¯s success in Foundation Establishment, thus seeing her wasting time like this, he couldn¡¯t help but give some advice, feeling like she was a prodigal.


    Meng Huang¡¯s hands couldn¡¯t help clench into fists behind her back, but she still restrained her strong emotions, squeezed out a smile, and acted as if she was accepting instruction, nodding continuously.


    [You better not ask me for any favor in the future!]

    After the scolding, Chen Mobai saw that Meng Huang seemed to be listening, and stopped with satisfaction.


    ¡°Then accompany me to the student council. You can watch the Magic Duel between me and Zhongli Tianyu and glimpse the peak powers at the Foundation Establishment stage in advance.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were not boastful, but the truth.


    After Zhongli Tianyu mastered the Eight Diagrams Immortal Lightning technique, his strength was so strong that he probably just ranked behind a few people on the Foundation List of Jumang Daoist Academy during his Foundation Establishment stage.


    Of course, he was still somewhat inferior when encountering Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_4

    Chapter 647: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_4


    Within the Student Council¡­


    Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu each logged onto Little Red Sky. Under the watchful eyes of Zhuang Jialan, Meng Huang, and others, with effortless ease, Chen Mobai used the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, instantly killing Zhongli Tianyu with just one move.


    ¡°That¡¯s not fair, didn¡¯t we agree to limit our battling power and go easy on each other?¡±


    After being instantly killed in the first round, Zhongli Tianyu couldn¡¯t help but voice his accusations.


    ¡°I did go easy on you, and besides, my realm is only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, a lot lower than yours. It¡¯s not my fault that you can¡¯t take a beating.¡±


    Chen Mobai argued that he had kept his promise and had not used his Thousand Swords Dharma Body.


    ¡°Fucking hell! Using the Flame Explosion Technique to trigger Sword Sha right at the start, even a Core Formation master would get injured if caught off guard. Do you have no shame?!¡±


    Anger made Zhongli Tianyu quiver all over. Completely forgetting the beating he received the previous day, he jumped up, shouting curses at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alright, fine. I won¡¯t use the Flame Explosion Technique. Is that okay?¡±


    After some thought, Chen Mobai felt he might have been a bit too harsh. His move would have been too much for even Pei Qingshuang, who wields the Qing Shuang Sword, to handle, let alone Zhongli Tianyu.


    However, this kid dared to shout insults at him. He¡¯d have to teach him a lesson, using a different method.


    Petty thoughts like these filled Chen Mobai¡¯s mind. He then accepted Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s invitation for a rematch.


    After they both entered the custom Magic Duel room, Chen Mobai raised his right hand, his five fingers radiated with the sharply defined Sword Sha of five different colors.


    wuxiaworld.site


    He hadn¡¯t tested the power of the Five Elements Finger Techniques without using the Thousand Swords Dharma Body yet.


    Moving as per his thoughts, Chen Mobai firmly confined the Five Elements Sword Sha within his fingertips, not allowing any to leak out.


    It was as if he had mastered an advanced body refining technique. Using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, he instantly blinked to Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s side and gently gripped the air in front of him.


    Clad in the Bagua Fairy Thunder Robe, thinking he was invincible, Zhongli Tianyu let Chen Mobai¡¯s five fingers touch his chest without any guard up.


    Then he felt five sensations ¨C cold, hot, sharp, gentle, and heavy ¨C penetrating the robe made of Fairy Thunder, reaching his chest¡¯s skin through Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips.


    Following a sudden intense chest pain, Zhongli Tianyu felt as if his heart had been grabbed and burst open. Then he once again lost consciousness and plunged into darkness.


    When he regained consciousness, he had already returned to reality due to his death.


    ¡°I protest, don¡¯t use that technique again¡­¡±


    After Zhongli Tianyu came back to his senses, he added more restrictions.


    ¡°Should I just stand there and not attack, letting you use me as a punching bag?¡±


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes and said indignantly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea!¡±


    Surprisingly, Zhongli Tianyu actually agreed.


    Chen Mobai, having none of this, switched to lecture mode again, chastising Zhongli Tianyu for lacking ambition, not being able to endure small setbacks, lacking drive to move forward, and not having any self-improvement spirit¡­


    Before he could finish reprimanding, Zhongli Tianyu had already dragged Chen Mobai back to the custom Magic Duel.


    ¡°Has he always been this strong?¡±


    Among those observing the match, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help asking Zhuang Jialan who stood beside her.


    ¡°Are you talking about the President? The duel with Zhongli Tianyu doesn¡¯t even demonstrate one-tenth of his battle power.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was one of the people who went to the Jumang Daoist Academy last year. She had witnessed every single duel where Chen Mobai cleared the field of the most talented Foundation Establishment freshmen of Daoist Academy.


    Having once seen Chen Mobai¡¯s victorious duels, she now observed his spar with Zhongli Tianyu.


    Zhuang Jialan felt their President seemed as if he were simply playing with a child.


    After hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words, Meng Huang was even more convinced that Chen Mobai was the Chosen One she was after.

    If such a man were not a Great Qi Luck Holder, who else in the Immortal Sect would deserve to be?


    In the course of the morning, under Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s numerous restrictions, he eventually managed to have a matched, exhilarating battle with Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai, without using the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, Five Elements Finger Techniques, or Flame Explosion Technique and instead, relying purely on the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Primordial Yang Sword Sha, and Green Flames Sword Sha, had no way to overcome the Bagua Fairy Thunder.


    Especially when Zhongli Tianyu enveloped his whole body with the Bagua Fairy Thunder, effectively forming a defensive robe. The Yi Wood Divine Thunder attacked and got absorbed instead. While the two Sword Sha could force a small opening, the Fairy Thunder Robe was a continuous source of power that immediately patched it up, completely eradicating the Power of Sword Devil.


    In the end, the duel developed into a stance where Chen Mobai attacked, and Zhongli Tianyu defended.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough for today.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Half a day later, Chen Mobai, out of sheer boredom, didn¡¯t want to continue, so he proposed to end it with a draw.


    *Cough Cough*¡­ Alright.¡±


    After being beaten throughout the match, Zhongli Tianyu coughed up some blood and quickly agreed.


    When he removed the Bagua Fairy Thunder Robe, his body was covered with small Sword Sha wounds. Some even seemed to burn with fresh blood, emitting green smoke.


    The Power of Sword Devil was unrivaled in attack. If not for Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s extraordinary Bagua Fairy Thunder, any third-rank defensive technique would have been pierced through hundreds of times by Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_5

    Chapter 648: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_5


    Struggling to recover after exiting the Little Red Sky, Zhongli Tianyu slumped on the sofa in the office, his face pale and his breaths sharp, as if his body was overheating.


    ¡°Have some tea.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai moved a cup of the Rank-2 Spiritual Tea he had brewed earlier over to him.


    With trembling hands, Zhongli Tianyu took the cup and downed the tea in one gulp.


    The clear and slightly cold tea flowed through Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s body, washing away the after-effects of the Magic Duel in the Little Red Sky.


    His Divine Sense showed no signs of bodily injury, and Zhongli Tianyu was soon feeling okay.


    ¡°Do we need to fight again tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°No, no, let me rest for a while.¡±


    Not a masochist, Zhongli Tianyu shook his head like a rattle drum at Chen Mobai¡¯s question, denying it outright.


    The past two fights ended quickly with him being defeated in a single move, so Zhongli Tianyu barely had any sensations at that time. But in the evenly-matched battle this time, even though he had mastered the Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder, he was suppressed by Chen Mobai¡¯s proficient dual Sword Sha.


    Unfortunately, his Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder Armor was quite robust in defense and could withstand the Sword Sha.


    As a result, it felt like a blunt knife cutting through meat.


    Once he regained his senses, Zhongli Tianyu wished he could slap himself.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    He could have admitted defeat earlier and avoided all this suffering.


    Zhongli Tianyu requested to leave early, saying he needed to heal his physical and mental injuries.


    Chen Mobai thought about it, and since he would be in the student council that day, he granted the leave request.


    ¡°Starting tomorrow, report here every day, understand?¡±


    While handing over the signed leave slip to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai said gently. Looking into his eyes, Zhongli Tianyu felt a burning ache in his body, and although his gaze showed defiance, his body instinctively acquiesced.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After responding, Zhongli Tianyu huffed out of Chen Mobai¡¯s office with the leave slip.


    ¡°This kid still needs a little more refining.¡±


    Once Zhongli Tianyu left, Chen Mobai remarked sagely.


    Zhuang Jialan, who was nearby, was unfazed by this. However, Meng Huang looked at him with a face full of curiosity and admiration, greatly satisfying Chen Mobai¡¯s vanity.


    ¡°Senior sister, did you bring your Device Nurturing Sphere?¡±


    Noticing that the time was almost up, Chen Mobai brought up the matter at hand.


    Meng Huang nodded, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that they had decided upon the previous night from her small bag.


    With Chen Mobai overseeing and guiding, there were no issues in using the Device Piece this time.


    They ended up acquiring the Rank-2 Lower-grade Pipa Instrument.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to familiarize myself with the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique.¡±


    Having obtained the Magic Artifact she needed, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t wait to leave.


    ¡°Sure, if you have any questions during your cultivation, you can ask me. I can help you simulate with the Formless Opponent.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already studied the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique the previous night. Since it derived from the Spiritual Artifact Co-cultivation Technique, and his cultivation level was high, he was able to understand it after reading through it once.


    Meng Huang nodded, and with the Pipa in hand, she turned to leave.


    However, she suddenly stopped, turned back sheepishly, and looked at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment yet.¡±


    Meng Huang exclaimed coquettishly, and Chen Mobai instantly understood.


    This Treasure Trove had a unique environment, and because her cultivation level was inadequate, the Spiritual Energy in her skateboard couldn¡¯t glide this deep.


    ¡°That was careless of me.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized and called over Zhuang Jialan to help her out.


    Suppressing her inner turmoil, Meng Huang maintained her smile, turned her head, and thanked a confused Zhuang Jialan.


    [What¡¯s the relationship between the president and her that he won¡¯t even send her off himself?]


    Despite her confusion, Zhuang Jialan obeyed the president¡¯s orders and took Meng Huang away.


    Once alone in the office, Chen Mobai began sorting out the mountains of documents on his desk, getting ready to tackle the year¡¯s tasks.


    In the days to come, he would guide Zhongli Tianyu to take over his duties while accompanying Meng Huang to the academy every day.


    However, Chen Mobai went to the student council to handle the handover procedures and started the annual Device Nurturing Sphere appraisal for earning academic credits, while Meng Huang headed to her permanent room in Building No. 9 to work hard at her cultivation, preparing for her upcoming Foundation Establishment.


    Whenever he was free at night, Chen Mobai would also go and guide her cultivation of the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique to help her clear up doubts.


    Before he knew it, Chen Mobai¡¯s eighth-grade life at the Dance Tool Dao Academy had come to an end.


    After passing all the compulsory and elective courses with high scores, coupled with his income from appraising, the total academic credits on his student card had exceeded one hundred.


    As per usual, he exchanged his credits for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Vermillion Fruit, and asked Wang Xingyu to help him prepare a year¡¯s worth of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    Even though his Divine Sense had hit a bottleneck and could not improve anymore, the main use of this Spirit Dew was to enhance his Void Spirit Eye.


    Over these years, Chen Mobai had been applying the Spirit Dew regularly and felt that his Void Spirit Eye was still improving, so he had no plans to stop using it.


    However, this year he didn¡¯t ask Zeng Woyou of the Alchemy Department to help with the Bamboo Fruit.


    His first apprentice, Liu Wenbo, was very capable. After he took control of the South Mountain Shop in Jianguo Market under Chen Mobai¡¯s name, he opened a branch in his hometown, Yun Country¡¯s Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai delegated the management to the Liu family and did not interfere.


    In Yun Country, there was a sect known as the Green Bamboo Ridge, which had two cultivators who had undergone Foundation Establishment and were particularly skilled at cultivating Jade Bamboo.


    Chen Mobai had read about this in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes in the past.


    When Liu Wenbo learned that Chen Mobai needed Bamboo Fruit, he immediately made a trip to Yun country to purchase a large amount of Bamboo Fruit from the Green Bamboo Ridge.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In addition to the Bamboo Fruit, Liu Wenbo easily amassed the other auxiliary medicines needed for making Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew through Jianguo Market.


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with this.


    He felt that all three of his apprentices were extremely considerate.


    Once Wang Xingyu had helped concoct the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Meng Huang also sent a message.


    The talisman for the Equaling Heaven Art had arrived.

 Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_1

    Chapter 649: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_1


    Shortly after the charm for the ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡± arrived, Chen Mobai immediately went to appraise it.


    ¡°The spiritual patterns of this thing are quite complex.¡±


    In the great hall of Meng Huang¡¯s little villa on the second floor, Chen Mobai seated on the couch, looked at the pale yellow charm in his hand, tracing the strokes with his fingers while feeling the traces of spiritual power in it, couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Judging by its grade, this charm has already reached the intermediate grade of Rank-2.


    Even for him to study it, it would take some time to fully comprehend it.


    ¡°I will go and exchange the Foundation Establishment triple treasures from teacher Luo tomorrow, also prepare some spiritual objects, and formally start the Foundation Establishment the day after tomorrow.¡±


    Meng Huang, with a resolute face, made her determination. She is a decided person. When things had really come to such a juncture, she actually had no other distractions.


    ¡°That¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll also go and prepare.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally had no objection, as it was already agreed upon.


    His Divine Sense bottleneck began showing signs of breakthrough because of Meng Huang. Even without the aid of her Heartstring Mystical Sound during the Foundation Establishment, he would likely be able to break through normally post year-end and open the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    He kept in mind the favor he owed, though Meng Huang was not aware of it.


    After taking dozens of photos of the charm for the Equaling Heaven Art, Chen Mobai took his leave.


    He went to the Daoist Academy, to borrow the specially designed Spirit Gathering Array from Yunyang Bing, which could upgrade the Rank-3 top-grade spiritual energy of the 9th building to the lower grade of Rank-4 in a short time.


    wuxiaworld.site


    After both Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua used it, they couldn¡¯t stop praising it. So, every time they were to break through a realm or overcome an obstacle, they would borrow it.


    Yunyang Bing had just returned to the Daoist Academy a few days ago. He had been mapping and surveying all over the land of Daoist Academy this past year, completing the measurement and mapping of 16 spirit veins, and he had become significantly darker.


    ¡°Although it was hard work, my study of formations improved tremendously. The remaining two years in the Daoist Academy, and even after graduation, I will persist in surveying every area within the Daoist Academy, completing the full survey of the 10,000 spirit veins.¡±


    The Daoist Academy claims to have 10,000 spirit veins, and these spirit veins supply the cultivation needs of three hundred million cultivators, so they are changing every moment.


    To avoid the exhaustion of the spirit veins, the Daoist Academy sends people to physically measure the spiritual energy storage of all spirit veins every year.


    If signs of exhaustion and inability to regenerate are detected, the extraction of spiritual energy from these spirit veins will be prohibited, and then Earth Masters will use special methods to restore the spiritual energy.


    Most of this work has been subcontracted to students of the Daoist Academy. In addition to the cheaper student labor, it is indeed also a form of cultivation.


    Many great Array Masters have had the experience of surveying the 10,000 spirit veins of the Daoist Academy. After completing the process, Array Masters will have a kind of sublimation. Some extremely talented people can even have sudden insights.


    The current dean of the Xianwu Hall of the Daoist Academy was a student from the Array Department of the Repairing Heaven Institute. After graduation, he joined the Daoist Academy¡¯s Vein Management Bureau, leading students of the Daoist Academy in the measurement of veins for decades.


    After he personally participated in the survey of the 10,000 spirit veins, he had an epiphany on the top of West Xuan Mountain and voluntarily formed a Gold Core even without the presence of a Gold Core spiritual material.


    After the Gold Core formation, he rose rapidly. Under the operation of the Repairing Heaven Institute, he successively got promoted, finally succeeded in the Nascent Soul Formation and became one of the three hall masters of the Daoist Academy.


    Clearly, Yunyang Bing plans to emulate him, or you could say that many Array Masters in the Daoist Academy idolize Hall Master Xianwu.


    ¡°If you go to Danxia city for survey work in the future, let me know in advance, I¡¯ll treat you well.¡±


    After hearing Yunyang Bing¡¯s thoughts, Chen Mobai had great respect for him.


    This is just like his wish to plant spiritual fields in Giant Tree Ridge, both have become his Daoist principles.


    If one day, he can indeed change the whole Eastern Wilderness based on his own ideas, the rewards will probably be enormous.


    After catching up with Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai saw that it was still early, so he went to the first building.


    ¡°Luck? You are a cultivator of the Daoist Academy, how can you believe in such things?¡±


    When Chen Mobai asked Che Yucheng for advice on the matter of luck, the latter immediately shook his head after hearing it.


    The Daoist Academy here believes that luck is objective, but these are trivial to those with real ability.


    A cultivator should always gather great powers within oneself and believe in his ability to overcome Heaven¡¯s designs.


    Only those with inadequate abilities would hope for ambiguous things like luck.


    When Chen Mobai thought carefully about it, it made sense.


    It¡¯s just like those in their Metaphysical Class, all of them are exceptional talents. With their innate talent and ability, they can easily establish their foundation without needing luck.


    Luck can only be decisive when there¡¯s a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

    It¡¯s like a water droplet facing a rolling stone under a huge trend, and it is of no use at all.


    ¡°Teacher, there¡¯s a friend of mine in my hometown. She¡¯s got average spiritual root talent, and her first Foundation Establishment was unsuccessful. She got an art named Equaling Heaven from somewhere. It supposedly allows her to borrow the luck of those with great Qi, do you think it will work?¡±


    After hearing this, Che Yucheng shook his head while sipping his tea.


    ¡°From what you¡¯ve said, it sounds like the dregs of arts of ancient Daoist dynasties. It might have some use, but it¡¯s mostly for fooling people. Whether the Foundation Establishment is successful depends ultimately on oneself.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. Does this mean Meng Huang has been deceived?

 Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_2

    Chapter 650: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_2


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t everyone attacking the ancient sects? Why are there traces of them in the immortal gates?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Ascension Sect that has been classified as an evil force by the official Immortal Gate, some in the ancient sects seized the opportunity quickly and were allowed to spread normally in the Immortal Gate. For example, the Ruyi Gate, the Immortal Gate relies on their Primordial Heavenly Essence to handle trash and recycle Spirit Veins.¡±


    Chen Mobai also knew about the Ruyi Gate. This ancient sect refines a Primordial Heavenly Essence that can melt anything in the universe and transform it into any form of Legal Treasures.


    Previously, Ruyi Gate used it to melt elemental energy and spirit stones, but the Immortal Gate found another use for this extraordinary technique: dealing with all kinds of trash.


    This Primordial Heavenly Essence could refine anything, which made it perfect for this job.


    Some people from the Ruyi Gate felt insulted and swore to resist, which led to their extermination by the Immortal Gate.


    The remaining ones obediently helped with trash disposal. They even redirected the resulting energy streams into depleted Spirit Veins, nourishing the earth.


    Those that couldn¡¯t be recycled by the earth were used as part of their compensation for refining the Primordial Heavenly Essence, allowing them to absorb it.


    Indeed, the obedient members of the Ruyi Gate set up a waste sorting and processing company. They were receiving over 100 million Good Deed Points rewards annually from the Immortal Gate. Although it was hard work handling the trash, they were all earning pots full of money and were very content.


    ¡°The sect that studies the art of destiny seems to be a small ancient sect, known as the Azure Feather Cliff. They tend to cause a stir during the change of ancient dynasties, furthering their own cultivation.¡±


    ¡°When our Immortal Gate was first established, they saw that it would rule the Star of Earth for endless years and decided to ally themselves with us. Although they weren¡¯t of much use, they had good etiquette, so we let them join.¡±


    ¡°However, when the members of this sect were dispatched to explore the Different World, their lack of skill led them to intrude into a mysterious powerhouse¡¯s grave, resulting in the death of two Core Formation cultivators. Their status in the Immortal Gate dwindled after that. Unexpectedly, there are still successors.¡±


    After listening to Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Some of these ancient sects were even certified by the Immortal Gate.


    To avoid future confusion, he asked Che Yucheng which ones were good and which ones were evil forces.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about the others, only the Divine Machine Mansion has something special. Initially, Qian Xing Old Ancestor was able to achieve Divinity Transformation thanks to the guidance of the Divine Machine Mansion.¡±


    ¡°However, all the members of this lineage prefer to be worldly-wise hermits and never work as officials.¡±


    ¡°But the upper echelon of the Immortal Gate all knew to treat any member of this lineage courteously if they encountered one.¡±


    Upon hearing the three words, Divine Machine Mansion, Chen Mobai nodded constantly. No wonder the girl in sunglasses was so strong, she came from a famous sect.


    He then asked about several other ancient sects. Che Yucheng told him that regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they were all somewhat connected. The Immortal Gate was too lazy to interfere as long as they didn¡¯t break any laws.


    After all, the Ascension Sect had already hidden beyond the Star of Earth; they couldn¡¯t go chasing after them across planets.


    After listening to all this, Chen Mobai excused himself and left.


    When he got home, he hesitated for a moment but eventually decided not to tell Meng Huang about what Che Yucheng had said.


    She is now completely committed to the Equaling Heaven Art, if she knew about this, it might affect her Dao heart even before she reached Foundation Establishment.


    Moreover, Azure Feather Cliff is also a sect that has left traces in the Immortal Gate. Che Yucheng also said that the Equaling Heaven Art is somewhat useful. Perhaps she might really succeed with the help of her own destiny.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai sincerely hoped in his heart that Meng Huang would succeed in establishing her Foundation this time.


    He didn¡¯t disturb her for the next few days.


    When the agreed time came, he went to Building Nine and opened an ordinary Cultivation Room.


    [Come over.]


    In the evening, Chen Mobai received a text message from Meng Huang.


    Since he couldn¡¯t show his storage bag, he carried a small backpack with everything he brought with him.


    After Chen Mobai quietly climbed the stairs, he came to the door of Meng Huang¡¯s room.


    He didn¡¯t knock, but just opened the door.


    Meng Huang had already left the door open for him.


    ¡°Have you prepared all the spiritual objects needed for Foundation Establishment?¡±


    After entering, Chen Mobai saw the young girl sitting on the meditation cushion in the center of the Cultivation Room and asked first.


    ¡°Yeah, they are all here.¡±


    Meng Huang opened the small bag next to her and took out the three treasures needed for Foundation Establishment, including Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and various elixirs. Chen Mobai carefully checked them and, after confirming there were no problems, took out the Spirit Gathering Array borrowed from Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°As expected, it befits the title of the top Formation expert at the Daoist Academy in the last decade.¡±


    Meng Huang had indeed heard of Yunyang Bing¡¯s reputation. After Chen Mobai activated the Spirit Gathering Array for her to feel the increase in Spiritual Energy, she couldn¡¯t help but remark.


    Compared to the true geniuses like Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing, she seemed so ordinary.

    While God gave her a beautiful voice, He did not give her a matching Spiritual Root or comprehension ability.


    ¡°Okay, there are no problems. I¡¯m going to lock the door now.¡±


    After the two of them confirmed all the preparations for Foundation Establishment were in order, Chen Mobai said.


    To avoid external interference, these Cultivation Rooms had strong restrictions set up by teachers of the Daoist Academy. As long as you locked the door, they would activate.


    Unless someone could uproot the entire Building Nine, there would be no disturbance to the people inside the room.

 Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_3

    Chapter 651: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_3


    Meng Huang nodded. Chen Mobai got up and bolted the door.


    Afterwards, both of them sat facing each other in the centre of the room, their focus on the talisman of the Equaling Heaven Art.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡±


    Meng Huang took a deep breath, picked up the talisman, and Chen Mobai also stretched out his hand, both of them holding it at the same time.


    ¡°You infuse it with spiritual power, I¡¯ll assist you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s realm far surpassed Meng Huang¡¯s. With his divine sense, he could do this precisely. Following the instructions of the Equaling Heaven Art, the latter began to slowly infuse her spiritual power.


    The spiritual patterns on the talisman began to light up from her snow-white fingertips and spread to half of the talisman. On the other side, Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power was also fed in.


    In a short while, the spiritual patterns lit up by the two had met at the central boundary, then merged into one, igniting the entire talisman into a light form, transforming into two strands of light thread resembling rings, settling on their thumbs.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt an unknown connection formed between himself and the young girl in front of him. It was as if the luck that adhered to both of them had left them at this moment and began to merge above their heads.


    After an unknown period, this fused luck dispersed evenly and fell onto both of them respectively.


    ¡°We succeeded.¡±


    Meng Huang, looking at the light thread merging into her skin, leaving only a red ring mark, couldn¡¯t help but show a look of joy.


    Chen Mobai watched the red ring on his own thumb, which gradually disappeared with time.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Once it completely disappeared, it would signify the decline of the Equaling Heaven Art, and the luck he had lent out would return to him.


    ¡°You should try your best. I will protect you from the side.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and sat in the corner of the cultivation room. After the Equaling Heaven Art had been applied, he wasn¡¯t sure how far the effective range was, so it was best not to leave Meng Huang¡¯s side.


    Moreover, if Meng Huang were to successfully establish her foundation, he couldn¡¯t miss the Heartstring Mystical Sound.


    At the very least, it could save him several months of time and help him break through the bottleneck of divine sense in advance.


    ¡°Thanks for your effort.¡±


    After Meng Huang uttered these words, she took a moment to sit in silence, and once she confirmed that her mind, spirit, and energy were in their best state, she began to consume the foundation establishment spiritual objects according to their order.


    Because she had already completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow step in her first attempt at foundation establishment, this time, she reached perfection in half a day.


    Chen Mobai watched as Meng Huang¡¯s skin, originally so dazzlingly white, took on a glow like a shiny piece of jade. The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, which had not yet been digested, flowed within her meridians. Her glowing, tender skin blushed, making her extremely charming.


    After the effortless completion of Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, the crucial step was Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    Meng Huang¡¯s previous attempt ended in failure at this step.


    The Mystic Sound Method requires the condensation of twelve droplets of liquid spiritual power. Being a middle-to-upper tier cultivation technique in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai felt that with Meng Huang¡¯s previous experience, coupled with his own luck, she should be able to step over this hurdle.


    At this time, Chen Mobai also activated the Spirit Gathering Array he brought, secretly crushing several spirit stones to fill the interior of the room with spiritual energy.


    With the ample supply of spiritual energy, Meng Huang managed to condense six droplets of liquid spiritual power in one go.


    Afterward, the effect of the foundation establishment spiritual object she took had worn off, necessitating the condensation of the remaining six droplets herself.


    The lute at Meng Huang¡¯s feet suddenly lit up with a crystal light, becoming a beam of constant light entering her snow-white forehead, strengthening her divine sense and helping her comprehend the Mystic Sound Method at the foundation establishment level.


    Chen Mobai watched this scene with interest as the room¡¯s spiritual energy flowed towards Meng Huang. A melody originating from the bottom of his heart echoed in his mind.


    Is this the ¡°Heartstring Mystical Sound¡±?


    Chen Mobai slowly realized that the process of foundation establishment was Meng Huang playing a tune of her own transformation with her own vitality, spirit, and energy.


    With her full effort, the Heartstring Mystical Sound was finally played, triggering her human sound to resonate throughout her body.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes, letting his own body¡¯s orifices resonate with the Heartstring Mystical Sound. He felt that the bottleneck in his divine sense, which had originally cracked from Meng Huang¡¯s effort, began to loosen even more.


    The tiny crack began to expand, gradually widening. Then, with a pop, a corner of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion was completely broken through.


    Chen Mobai did not let this opportunity slip. He stirred up the human sound resonance caused by Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound, flowing it into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, and started to expand inch by inch along the broken corner.


    He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed. More than half of Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense bottleneck had been broken through. But just when he was preparing to push through all at once, he found that the Heartstring Mystical Sound from the exterior had stopped.


    Without the source of sound, his own human sound began to fade, reducing the efficiency of expanding the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to one-tenth.


    Feeling something was wrong, Chen Mobai immediately opened his eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He saw Meng Huang, her face pale and blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, fainting on the meditation mat in the center of the cultivation room.


    At her side, the lute was already broken in half, devoid of all spiritual light.


    What happened?


    Could she have failed in establishing her foundation?


    Chen Mobai was shocked at the sight. However, he dared not intervene immediately, fearing she was in the process of spiritual trascendence and any disturbance could disrupt this crucial stage.

 Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_4

    Chapter 652: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_4


    But the way Meng Huang looks now, it¡¯s almost certain that her Foundation Establishment has failed.


    Chen Mobai grits his teeth, no longer able to concern himself with anything else at this point, and directly activates his Void Spirit Eye, looking at Meng Huang¡¯s body.


    His eyes pierce through her clothes and flesh to see the core of her. Seeing this, he doesn¡¯t dare to delay any longer. He immediately rushes to Meng Huang¡¯s side and helps her up.


    Then Chen Mobai picks up a healing pill that Meng Huang had prepared earlier, pinches her chin, and forcefully crams it into her mouth.


    As the pill enters her mouth, Meng Huang¡¯s face turns even more pale.


    Chen Mobai, activating Void Spirit Eye continuously, saw that the pill had stuck in her ¡°Twelve-Storey Building¡±.


    Not even bothering about offending her, he holds Meng Huang with his left hand. Then he places the fingers of his right hand on her long, snow-white neck, uses the Flame Lighting Technique to dissolve the pill into a warm current remotely, then uses his Divine Sense to guide the medicinal power to disperse through the blocked meridians and acupoints caused by the failure of Foundation Establishment¡­


    About fifteen minutes later, Meng Huang, who¡¯s unconscious, can¡¯t help but cough. Shortly after, she comes to, coughs up a mouthful of fresh blood, which lands on Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡±


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t know how to console her and can only say this sentence.


    ¡°Why, I have even borrowed¡­ your¡­ Destiny, how can I¡­ still fail¡­¡±


    Meng Huang is exceptionally weak right now. It seems that she didn¡¯t give up in the end, instead gritting her teeth and trying to break through, resulting in even more severe backlashes from the failure of Foundation Establishment.


    If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s timely intervention, she would probably need at least a year of recovery.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Perhaps my Destiny was insufficient.¡±


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t mention what Che Yucheng said; in this kind of situation, he still has a bit of EQ, putting the responsibility of Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure on himself.


    ¡°Heh¡­ hah¡­ haha¡­¡±


    But at this moment, Meng Huang¡¯s mentality has crumbled, and she starts to uncomfortably laugh, coughing up blood while laughing.


    This is a good sign, it¡¯s the congested blood in her meridians due to her failed Foundation Establishment. After she spits it out, her meridians are cleared, the spiritual power in her Dantian and Qi Sea flows freely through her body, beginning to absorb Spiritual Energy to gradually recover.


    This is the result of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye observing the conditions of her injuries all over her body, then precisely utilizing the Flame Lighting Technique for massage.


    Regardless, Chen Mobai still quietly turns Meng Huang¡¯s body with his left hand so that she won¡¯t spit blood onto his clothes again.


    ¡°I knew it¡­ I should have given up. I¡­ have no talent to begin with, why should I strive to be better¡­¡±


    A look of despair crosses Meng Huang¡¯s pale face. She prepared for the Foundation Establishment process, and probably no one else in the entire cultivation world has as many conditions as her.


    But in spite of that, her Foundation Establishment still failed.


    This utterly crushed Meng Huang¡¯s already frail self-confidence.


    After she finished spitting out blood, she fell into Chen Mobai¡¯s arms and burst into tears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Sister, you still have a full year ahead.¡±


    All Chen Mobai can do is comfort her like this. After his timely treatment using the Flame Lighting Technique, Meng Huang should completely recover in a few months to about half a year.


    If she doesn¡¯t mind her severe damage, she could attempt Foundation Establishment again at the time of graduation next year.


    But even though she has so many conditions in place this time, Meng Huang still failed. There¡¯s not much hope for a third time.


    The Imperial Medical Academy has data on this.


    About sixty percent of all Cultivators who graduate from the top ten colleges are successful in their second attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    That is to say, the second time is the best opportunity for most Cultivators to establish their foundation.


    If she didn¡¯t succeed this time, Meng Huang¡¯s chances of a successful Foundation Establishment in the future would be slim.


    More so when after leaving the Daoist Academy, things like the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and other Foundation Establishment Triad would be hard to obtain as easily as now.


    Thinking of this, Meng Huang cries even more sorrowfully.


    Unable to do anything about it, Chen Mobai can only pat her shoulder and let her cry.


    He doesn¡¯t know how long it took, but Meng Huang¡¯s crying finally stopped.


    It¡¯s lucky that Chen Mobai¡¯s own physical body is also quite sturdy; otherwise, his arm would have gone numb from fatigue long ago.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I lost control of myself.¡±


    After a good bout of crying, Meng Huang has finally calmed down. She lies in Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace, her face pale, looking delicate and tragically beautiful.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t give up until the very last moment. There¡¯s still a year¡¯s time. Perhaps you¡¯ll comprehend the threshold by then.¡±


    All Chen Mobai can do is continue to console her. Then he stands up, carrying Meng Huang towards the corner.


    Although it¡¯s called the Cultivation Room with its primary layout consisting of meditation mats, it still has a bed for resting. Chen Mobai places Meng Huang on the bed, then turns to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to get the school doctor for you.¡±


    He briefly used the Flame Lighting Technique to treat Meng Huang¡¯s injuries but given that he¡¯s not a professional; after the failure of Foundation Establishment involving the three aspects of essence, energy, and spirit, she should be brought to a hospital for a full evaluation with professional equipment, to work out a dedicated recovery plan.

    As he turns to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly notices that Meng Huang is holding onto his sleeve.


    He looks down, meeting her grief-stricken, plaintive gaze.


    ¡°Can you stay with me?¡±


    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t leave until the school doctor arrives.¡±


    Under such circumstances, Chen Mobai shows great gentlemanly courtesy. If not for his grand reputation, leading to any sightings of him in Meng Huang¡¯s room causing damage to both of their reputations, he would have even considered accompanying her to the hospital.

    Chapter 653: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_5


    In a room still faintly scented with the smell of blood, a graceful girl was lying weakly on the bed. Her white shirt was stained with patches of blood, resembling plum blossoms. Her dark long hair was spread out, strands of it stuck to her cheeks due to the fresh blood at the corner of her mouth. This made her pale oval face look even more pitiful.


    Chen Mobai stood by the window, turning his back to Meng Huang while looking outside.


    It wasn¡¯t long before he saw a flying ambulance land at the entrance of building nine. Soon after, two school doctors in white lab coats rushed out with a stretcher.


    ¡°I should leave now.¡±


    After seeing the school doctors disappear from his window view, Chen Mobai gently spoke to Meng Huang who was lying on the bed. She numbly nodded her head.


    Looking at her increasingly hollow and sorrowful eyes, Chen Mobai became a little afraid she would do something impulsive out of despair.


    ¡°Don¡¯t give up. I have a friend in the Imperial Medical Academy who once mentioned a special method to practice the original foundation of the Critical Technique, the Jade Lock Gold Barrier Secret. However, that method only works for men. I will try to find him and research if there could be a way to adapt it for you.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Meng Huang¡¯s sorrowful eyes finally showed a sliver of hope.


    Simultaneously, the front desk of building nine rang Meng Huang¡¯s phone. Chen Mobai stood beside her, answering the call for her and confirming her failure in Foundation Establishment, which required medical attention.


    ¡°Take good care of yourself.¡±


    Upon uttering these words, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure had already disappeared from the room.


    And soon after, sounds of knocking sounded from outside the door.


    Chen Mobai stood by the window of his room on the second floor, watching Meng Huang being taken away by the school doctors, and noticed the red ring around his thumb fade away, indicating that the extent of the Equaling Heaven Art was as large as a mountain.


    wuxiaworld.site


    After some contemplation, he hesitantly picked up his phone.


    He hadn¡¯t thought much while speaking at the time, but now he was a little embarrassed to actually go and ask for help.


    When he initially searched the practice of Critical Technique on Auxiliary Cultivation software, he saw the post by Tian Wenguang of the Imperial Medical Academy using his high-level authority. The post discussed Tian¡¯s successful practice of Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret after multiple attempts.


    This ancient method once mastered, would enable Cultivators to always retain their innocence while engaging in intercourse and never lose their Yuan Yang.


    However, when Chen Mobai decided to comprehend the Jade Lock Golden Secret, he did so for the Critical Technique alone.


    He could swear, he had never harbored any thoughts about it.


    But seeing Meng Huang¡¯s sorrowful expression, and thinking about how his breakthrough in Divine Sense was only possible with her help, he feared feelings of guilt would trouble him later if he ignored her plight.


    So, impulsively, he said those words then.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know Tian Wenguang. Plus, as Tian had hidden his post using high-level authority, it indicated that he was a reserved yet socially anxious person.


    If Chen Mobai rashly approached him for consulting about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, Tian might feel socially dead, and it might also expose Turtle Treasure.


    What a headache!


    Despite his predicament, Chen Mobai started taking action for the sake of Meng Huang.


    He first logged into Little Red Sky and searched for the record of his battle with Tian Wenguang, then he sent a friend request.


    However, similar to Lu Qiulong, his friend request was not immediately accepted.


    Two years ago, Little Red Sky was quite popular. Many cultivators were eager to spar in order to improve their Cultivation Techniques and skills.


    However, their passion cooled down this year when Chen Mobai perpetually topped the leaderboard, leaving the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with no motivation to advance, they started slacking off.


    After sending the friend request, Chen Mobai looked up Tian Wenguang online.


    As it turns out, as a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy and a small-time celebrity, Tian was a male doctor in a level three hospital in Baohzu Cave World and had even risen to the status of an associate director.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment, and booked an appointment with Tian online.


    The online consultation service existed in the Daoist Academies, and booking an appointment with Tian Wenguang was surprisingly challenging. Chen Mobai¡¯s consultation time had been scheduled for after the new year.


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh.


    He was also thinking if he could get Meng Huang a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    However, this pill was extremely rare even at the Jumang Daoist Academy. As it could only be exchanged once, none of the academy students would be willing to give up this opportunity.


    Chen Mobai even thought about the Foundation Building Pill in the Tianhe realm.


    But it was just an idea, as even the Divine Wood Sect treated it as a war asset. The True Disciples could only receive one pill, and Foundation Establishment Elders like them could not interfere.


    Besides, if there were surplus Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai wanted to get one for his dad.


    Even though the chance of Foundation Establishment after sixty is very bleak, it was his concern for his father.


    Moreover, the Foundation Building Pill was prohibited from being refined in the Daoist Academies. His father would definitely help keep it a secret, but if he gave it to Meng Huang, the risk was too high.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking about various methods, a text message suddenly popped up on his phone.


    Lan Haitian:[What¡¯s up? After my Core Formation, I was appreciating the aurora views in the Extreme Northern Cave World and crafting my Destiny-tied Legal Treasure using the Power of Bipolar Magnetism, so I seldom checked my phone. I only saw your message today.]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai was taken aback for a moment, then he was filled with realization followed by astonishment.


    He was fascinated by the Azure Dragon portrayed by Zhongli Tianyu and wished to get a drop of Rank-3 Green Snake Essential Blood, so he wanted to ask professionals about it. Back then, he had texted Lan Haitian:[Are you there?]


    Unexpectedly, he received a reply today.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although he knew that with Lan Haitian¡¯s talent, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, his chances of Core Formation were high. But when he officially learned about Lan Haitian¡¯s Core Formation, he felt emotional.


    Especially after personally witnessing Meng Hong¡¯s failure in Core Formation and Meng Huang¡¯s failure in Foundation Establishment.


    The contrast was too stark.


    Indeed, there is a difference between cultivators and other cultivators.


    Professor Che was right, the capable ones are not affected by destiny.

 Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of the Gold Core_1

    Chapter 654: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of the Gold Core_1


    ¡°[I would like to purchase a drop of Rank-3 Green Snake Essential Blood. Do you happen to know someone, senior?]¡±


    After establishing contact with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and immediately stated his purpose, not daring to waste the time of a Gold Core expert.


    ¡°[Indeed, I do. But I presume this matter might be challenging.]¡±


    As a notable graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute over the past few decades, and having worked in the Heaven Mending Faction for sixty years, Lan Haitian¡¯s network was far broader than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    He indeed knew a senior from his own institute who had bred a Rank-3 Green Snake. However, that senior himself was also a Gold Core master, and had raised the Green Snake like his wife from an ordinary vegetable snake.


    Although the laws of the Immortal Realm forbade interspecies marriages, that Gold Core cultivator named Xu Yanhe still conducted a Daoist marriage ritual with the Green Snake after it had transformed, inviting several friends as witnesses.


    Despite being unlicensed and a Gold Core cultivator himself, the Immortal Gate turned a blind eye to it, pretending they were unaware.


    ¡°[This¡­]¡±


    After hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai felt his youthful spirit being greatly shocked again.


    Compared to these senior cultivators who¡¯ve lived for hundreds of years, he, still a youngster in school, has indeed seen too little.


    This incident couldn¡¯t help but remind him of the various love-hate stories between human cultivators and beautiful spirits that he saw in dramas during his childhood. He had initially thought they were made up, but it turns out they were actually based on reality.


    ¡°[The Green Snake Fairy is Master Xu Yanhe¡¯s Dao partner. I¡¯m afraid it may be impossible to get a drop of her essential blood.]¡±


    After explaining the situation of the Gold Core cultivator, Lan Haitian gently tried to dissuade him.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Thinking about it, if someone came to ask for a drop of your wife¡¯s essential blood, Chen Mobai definitely would not agree either.


    ¡°[Many thanks for the information.]¡±


    After hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai temporarily gave up the idea of pursuing the Green Snake Essential Blood.


    The extreme north and south are the two farthest Fairy Grottos from the Immortal Gate, located at the two poles of the Planet of Primordial Elements, and only the Core Formation cultivators have the ability to travel there freely.


    ¡°[Oh right, I have an Ice Spirit Root friend who hasn¡¯t had his Foundation Establishment yet. Is the Water Mist Ice Crystal, a kind of spiritual object, sold in the extreme north Fairy Grotto?]¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to exit the conversation interface with Lan Haitian, he suddenly remembered Yan Bingxuan¡¯s situation. There are two types of spiritual objects that can increase the success rate of her Foundation Establishment.


    Among them, Water Mist Ice Crystal can be obtained only from the depths of the Extreme Cold Sea Area at the two polar Fairy Grottos. He couldn¡¯t help but shamelessly ask again.


    ¡°[I¡¯m not sure about that, but I¡¯ll ask around when I have the time.]¡±


    In the Fairy Grotto of the extreme north, there are very few cultivators from the Immortal Gate. After all, the conditions are harsh and you need to wait many years to return if you haven¡¯t reached the Core Formation stage.


    Due to this reason, even though the two poles are the widest Fairy Grottos in the territory of the Immortal Gate, there are often no signs of life for millions of miles.


    Lan Haitian was also unsure about the situation of the Water Mist Ice Crystal as he had found a place with rich aurora and Yuan Magnetic Force outside of Heaven, using the Star Concentrating Stone given to him by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to cast his own destiny Magic Artifact.


    Chen Mobai thanked him again and didn¡¯t disturb him any further.


    After finishing his conversation with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai immediately went online to search for information about Xu Yanhe, the one who became Dao partners with the Green Snake.


    Each Gold Core cultivator in the Immortal Gate has a standalone encyclopedia, and he was no exception.


    Xu Yanhe, headmaster of the Spiritual Controlling Institute.


    The encyclopedia proceeded with his career timeline from Qi Cultivation to Gold Core, and it mentioned he possessed a Rank-3 Green Snake Spirit Beast, but not about him being Dao partners with the Green Snake.


    After all, this matter was somewhat disgraceful. Therefore, it was normal to harmonize it off for the sake of a Gold Core cultivator¡¯s dignity.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but think about the Devouring Heaven Serpent that he raised in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It seemed to resemble the other side of Yang Jing. When transformed, would she look like Yang Jing? Wasn¡¯t there a drama named ¡®Under the Qingcheng Mountain¡¯ in his childhood, telling the story between humans and snake spirits?


    As Chen Mobai thought about it and associated it with Xu Yanhe and the Green Snake becoming Dao partners, his thoughts inadvertently diverged to places he shouldn¡¯t be considering, causing him to shake his head vigorously.


    ¡°[Why do I keep thinking about these things that affect my Daoist heart recently?]¡±


    Within his sigh, Chen Mobai felt that his heart was affected because he had opened up such thoughts due to his transaction with Meng Huang.


    However, his breakthrough in the Divine Sense bottleneck this time was indeed thanks to Meng Huang.


    At this thought, Chen Mobai sat in the Cultivation Room.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already been partly opened. Streams of refreshing energy overflowed from the jade-green paulownia manifested by his Divine Sense, starting to surge towards the newly opened part of the Sea of Knowledge.


    These were the Divine Senses he had accumulated over the past year by taking the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Buds. But since he was previously at a bottleneck where there was no room for growth of the Divine Sense, he condensed them into fruits as storage.


    Now that the bottleneck was broken and more than half of the Purple Palace Sea of Knowledge was opened, these Divine Senses finally had a place to utilize.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique, new green paulownia seedlings fell on the fringes of the newly opened Purple Palace.


    The bottleneck of the Divine Sense is just like the bottleneck of the Spiritual Power. It won¡¯t regress until it¡¯s fully broken. In the process of breakthrough, if one¡¯s own foundation is insufficient, or there¡¯s some accidental magical battle, there¡¯s a possibility of failing the breakthrough.

 Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of Gold Core_2

    Chapter 655: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of Gold Core_2


    Especially at the beginning.


    However, Chen Mobai had already opened up more than half of it with Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound, and with the planting of the Green Paulownia Seedling for stabilization, his breakthrough could basically be declared a success.


    After planting six Green Paulownia Seedlings, Chen Mobai opened his eyes in satisfaction.


    Generally speaking, in normal cultivation, the Divine Sense Realm and Spiritual Power Realm progress in tandem, boosting each other during their respective breakthroughs.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s breakthrough was unusual. The power of the Tree Fruit allowed his Qi Sea in his Dantian to open up to the level of Perfection in Foundation Building, which resulted in his Divine Sense Realm suddenly becoming a shortfall.


    Involuntarily, Chen Mobai remembered the prediction made by the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    She said he would face three tribulations during his Core Formation.


    Among them, the tribulation concerning lifespan had already been resolved by him using Good Deed Points.


    And for the tribulation where nature¡¯s spiritual energy congregated to form a Core, as long as he was in the immortal sect at the time of Core Formation, he could avoid it.


    As for whether returning to the Tianhe Realm would provoke it, Chen Mobai thought that if he had successfully formed his Core by then, facing the mere Heavenly Tribulation would serve to deepen his image as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    However, the final tribulation relating to his spirit mind, had no good solutions.


    The heir of the Divine Machine Mansion had mentioned that his foundations were unsteady which could lead to a sudden uncontrollable increase in his cultivation level during Core Formation, thereby resulting in wasted efforts.


    Over the years, Chen Mobai had collected targeted insights about Core Formation and roughly understood what this situation entailed.


    wuxiaworld.site


    There were mainly two situations, one was a breach in his state of mind, which would be broken by a Heart Demon during Core Formation.


    The other was if his Divine Sense was not strong enough to break into the corresponding Realm when Spiritual Power condensed into a Gold Core, causing him to lose control over the sudden surge of power, increasing ten or even several tens of times.


    If this happened, most in the Eastern Wilderness, due to lack of sufficient experience would die as a result, coupled with each Sect¡¯s self-protection, causing their bodies to explode.


    The Divine Wood Sect, on the other hand, would be like Meng Hong, who would choose to shatter their own Gold Core and voluntarily lower their own Realm when they see that they are about to fail.


    Although such a failure in Core Formation would damage their Elemental Energy, it could guarantee that their lives would not be endangered. After several years of recovery, they could fully heal.


    The immortal sect, on the other hand, due to their rich experience and countless Core Formation insights, had various targeted methods for this situation.


    Likewise, they would vent off the Spiritual Power from Core Formation, the four Daoist Academies and the ten academic palaces each had their own related studies and Secret Techniques.


    For example, the Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, would inject the powerful Spiritual Power after Core Formation into a pre-prepared Artifact Embryo. This way, even if they failed in their Core Formation, they could still help forge their own magic artifact.


    With good luck, they could even create a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    The Charm and Talisman Department could take this opportunity to refine powerful charm artifacts and talisman treasures.


    In any case, the immortal sect had methods to minimize the waste of Core Formation Spiritual Power in cases where the Divine Sense could not make a breakthrough.


    Chen Mobai is steady in his actions and believes in a two-pronged approach.


    Whether it was interference from a Heart Demon or the inability of Divine Sense to make a breakthrough, he had to take both into consideration.


    Among them, for the interference of the Heart Demon, the immortal sect had various magic artifacts and Spirit Pills for this specific issue, and even Formation charms, so he could borrow external objects.


    But for the breakthrough of his Divine Sense Realm, he could only rely on himself.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have much confidence in his own talent. He originally wanted to try a small attempt at Core Formation first, similar to Foundation Building. Even if he failed, it wouldn¡¯t matter much, after all, he was young and could accumulate experience in Core Formation first.


    When the time came for the second attempt, he would prepare Liquid Gold Jade to calm the Heart Demon along with all kinds of Spirit Pills, striving to succeed on the second try.


    But now, he had a better option.


    Meng Huang¡¯s third condition had not been taken seriously by Chen Mobai at first, after all it was only a possibility to break through by listening to the Heavenly Sound in a state of fusion, it was not a 100% success rate.


    And he is upright and could withstand tests.


    However, after breaking through the bottleneck of Divine Sense with Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound for Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai felt that he might have underestimated the Mystic Sound Method.


    As the number one auxiliary cultivation method of the immortal sect and even the hope for many Nascent Soul cultivators to transform into Divinities, it indeed had some merits.


    Chen Mobai thought that if he could truly listen to the Heavenly Sound with Meng Huang¡¯s most intense Heartstring Mystical Sound, even if his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion could not directly break through to the level of Core Formation, there would definitely be some reaction.


    Even if it was merely a tiny crack, at least the experience of breaking through would increase his chances of success during the actual core formation.


    This temptation was quite significant.


    So, Chen Mobai wanted Meng Huang to establish her foundation, not just to repay her kindness, but also for his own Gold Core Third Tribulation.


    If he could truly open up the sea of knowledge at the Purple Mansion to the core formation level during the foundation building realm, he was confident that he could easily pass the third tribulation as spoken of by the descendant of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    But how to assist?


    Given Meng Huang¡¯s collapsed mentality after failing to establish her foundation twice, it seems that only mastering a critical technique could give her the courage to continue striking.


    Otherwise, even if he gave her a Foundation Building Pill, she might still fail.


    While Chen Mobai was contemplating, in a high-rise building of the Caelum¡¯s Feathered Heaven, a female employee with glasses saw a string of the latest data sent over.


    ¡°Eh, Customer 021745 has failed.¡±


    This was an information processing company, founded by Azure Feather Cliff specifically to collect various situations after using Equaling Heaven Art.


    Among them, Meng Huang was Customer 021745.


    After using Equaling Heaven Art, the talisman will quantify the two connected people¡¯s fate into modern data, which they can see.


    Before Azure Feather Cliff declined, there was a method to observe Qi, where its status could be inferred from the cultivator¡¯s facial features and other factors through close observation.


    But after the fall of the two core-forming ancestors in the different world, this technique was lost.


    The ancient dao was quite selfish regarding cultivation techniques.


    However, after thousands of years of lurking in the fairy world, Azure Feather Cliff used high technology to write a set of quantitative programs for Qi Luck, combined with the talisman of Equaling Heaven Art, which worked better and more accurately than the Qi observing technique.


    After reading Meng Huang¡¯s data using Equaling Heaven Art, the girl with glasses couldn¡¯t help showing a strange expression.


    Then she printed this report and knocked on the office door of the superior.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    A mature woman in charge of the ancient dao on this side was handed the file by her assistant. After reading it, her eyebrows wrinkled in confusion.


    ¡°Manager Li, this is the client you specifically told me to monitor. However, it seems she doesn¡¯t completely trust our Equaling Heaven Art and has only found a Qi cultivator with very ordinary luck.¡±


    The talisman of the Equaling Heaven Art can quantify the Qi luck of both users, in addition to estimating their cultivation level based on spiritual power; all of this information is transmitted as data to this company.


    The girl with glasses checked the code and found that the fate of the two people who used Meng Huang¡¯s talisman was not significantly different, normalizing them wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference.


    One of them was definitely Meng Huang, while the other, with Qi luck similar to her, was obviously an ordinary foundation building cultivator.


    After hearing the report of her staff and reading the document in her hand, the woman surnamed Li waved her hand without saying a word, and the assistant immediately retreated.


    ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡±


    Before the door closed, the girl with glasses heard her leader¡¯s confusion.


    She seemed a bit skeptical about Meng Huang¡¯s failed foundation building.


    This big star is a high-quality customer who has been tracked by the leader for a year. It was thought that with her wide connections and rich resources, she would easily establish her foundation with the help of great Qi luck using the Equaling Heaven Art.


    Once the foundation was established, realizing the importance of Qi luck, she would purchase talismans for every breakthrough and even introduce those around her to try it.


    But who knew that this high-quality customer would fail.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Such a shame, she was originally a great living advertisement.


    As the girl with glasses was feeling regretful, Manager Li in the office, a beautiful woman, was making a phone call: ¡°Help me look into something¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware of this.


    He bought a bouquet of fresh flowers and a basket of fruits, visiting a hospitalized Meng Huang. Seeing him coming in and sitting down, guilt tinged her pale face.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, despite all that you¡¯ve done for me, I still failed.¡±

 Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_1

    Chapter 656: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_1


    Meng Huang thought she was too useless, hence even borrowing Chen Mobai¡¯s energy did not prevent her failure at the Foundation Establishment.


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai shook his head and comforted her.


    ¡°Right now, your main task should be to recuperate from your injuries, striving to attempt the Foundation Establishment once again before graduation next year.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang¡¯s face reflected a trace of disappointment. She lowered her head, not speaking a word, seemingly lost in her lack of faith in herself.


    ¡°This is the original Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret of the liminal law. You might find it useful for your recuperation. After comprehending this, I was able to grasp all the mysteries of liminal law.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over a book that he had once read in the Daoist Academy Library to Meng Huang who was lying in bed. Upon hearing his words, the light in her previously dull eyes reignited a little. She accepted the book and thanked the handsome young man in front of her.


    ¡°Have you always been this diligent? Few people would bother to read this.¡±


    Meng Huang gently asked.


    Since the cultivation technique of the Immortal Sect can be easily obtained, and the higher-ranking cultivators update it timely with their new interpretations for the benefit of the public, many people choose the version with the most recent update when downloading online.


    Since the inception of the liminal law, the Immortal Sect has updated at least hundreds of versions.


    Many people might cross-reference only a few of the most recent versions, but the fact that Chen Mobai was still practicing the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret from the original source surprised Meng Huang. She had never heard anyone else doing the same.


    ¡°When I was searching for liminal law cultivation experiences on the Auxiliary Cultivation software, I happened upon a post claiming its usefulness, so I started diligently cultivating it and, by pure luck, succeeded.¡±


    Chen Mobai was telling the truth, except he left out the part about his success only after taking a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Oh, is that post still available?¡±


    As software that¡¯s popular among cultivators, Auxiliary Cultivation is relatively well-known. Meng Huang has downloaded it and searched for liminal law cultivation content but hadn¡¯t noticed this post.


    Chen Mobai directed her to Tian Wenguang¡¯s post. Although the most critical part of the post was hidden and inaccessible, the visible parts verified his words.


    This post, due to its privacy settings, had minimal viewings and was thus buried far back. Chen Mobai would not have noticed it if he hadn¡¯t habitually filtered the posts from high to low privacy settings.


    ¡°How can I get in contact with the person who posted this?¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai¡¯s successful experiences, Meng Huang was pinning her hopes of mastering the liminal law on the Jade Lock Golden Secrets. She was extremely interested in the hidden parts after reading the visible content.


    ¡°Send him a private message and see if he replies.¡±


    Chen Mobai, of course, knew Tian Wenguang was a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, but he couldn¡¯t reveal that he had high access rights. So, he let Meng Huang send a private message from her account to the poster.


    Tian Wenguang¡¯s username in the Auxiliary Cultivation software was ¡°Lone Ranger¡±. Meng Huang politely phrased a message, stating she wanted to learn from his successful experience with the Jade Lock Golden Secrets.


    However, as the vice-director of a top-tier hospital, Tian Wenguang obviously couldn¡¯t always be glued to his phone, so the message lying in his inbox remained unanswered.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. You might comprehend the Jade Lock Golden Secrets by yourself after some time.¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Meng Huang¡¯s improved mood and that she seemed to have found a new purpose, was relieved and reassured her with these words.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll look at it myself first. Speaking of which, didn¡¯t you mention that a friend from the Imperial Medical Academy also mastered it? Did he share any tips?¡±


    It seemed Meng Huang hadn¡¯t forgotten Chen Mobai¡¯s comfort to her. She viewed the Jade Lock Golden Secrets as her last hope and asked hastily as he was about to leave.


    ¡°Although we¡¯re friends, it was a pretty casual friendship. I did bring it up to him, but I will have to wait until after the New Year for a detailed discussion.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded truthfully. Meng Huang was disappointed but still maintained a smile and expressed her gratitude.


    ¡°Thank you for your efforts.¡±


    After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai booked a ticket back to Red Sandstone City.


    There were a few issues he needed to address at his hometown¡¯s rune factories at the end of the year.


    The first was related to the loans he took out when he set up the puppet factory. The annual interest needed to be paid by year-end, and one large loan required an extension. Without his presence, these matters would not be resolved.


    After returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai started to tally up his annual income from the Immortal Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Beginning with the Sky Rune Factory, because of the puppet factory, he had instructed them to switch to high-end product production, generating only Rank-2 talisman papers and inks.


    Despite the staff at Sky Rune Factory being skilled, without the leadership of the veteran Talisman Maker, Wu Shangru, the quality of the produced Green Jade Talisman Paper could barely maintain Rank-2.


    Originally, this Green Jade Talisman Paper was priced at 500 Good Deed Points per piece, but due to its mediocre quality, even as the cheapest among Rank-2 talisman papers, it struggled to sell.


    Tang Panchui was very worried looking at the accounts at the end of the year.


    The profit margin significantly decreased compared to the previous year, and if not for the reasonably well-selling Rank-2 Chixia Talisman Ink, they might have been at a loss.

 Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: Chapter 409: Income from Two Worlds_2

    Chapter 657: Chapter 409: Income from Two Worlds_2


    However, despite this, the annual profit shown at the end of the year was only one hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    This made Tang Panchui, the lady boss of the shop, very worried.


    ¡°Son, why don¡¯t you let the workers continue producing Rank-1 talisman papers next year? At least we¡¯ll have something to make money from.¡±


    Chen Mobai was holding his talisman brush, constantly writing and drawing on his workbench. He was parsing the talisman code of the Equaling Heaven Art while Tang Panchui leaned over and suggested this idea.


    ¡°Techniques are reliant on practice. From what I can see, the quality of the talisman papers at the end of the year is significantly improved compared to the beginning of the year. I want to give Director Pan another chance so that the quality of our Jade Talisman Paper will reach Rank-2 by next year.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really care whether their Flying Sky Talisman Factory could make money. He could take the unsold Talisman Papers to the Eastern Wilderness.


    In addition, if stored properly, talisman paper can be preserved for decades.


    His puppet factory ran at full capacity this year. Subtracting the usual efficiency loss from the wear and tear of the puppets, it produced a total of 3.6 million Rank-1 top-grade talisman papers.


    In Eastern Wilderness, Liu Wenbo, his senior apprentice, managed five major markets in Jian Country. This, combined with collaborations with various talisman paper shops, and expansion into the four nations under Divine Wood Sect, achieved a total annual sales of five hundred thousand papers.


    Just this income alone amounted to more than forty thousand spirit stones.


    However, Chen Mobai overestimated the spending power in the Eastern Wilderness. He brought a million talisman papers over there this year and expected to sell them all, only to realize that the market in the four nations of Divine Wood Sect could only absorb half of them.


    Thanks to the fact that the puppet factory produced low-cost and high-quality talisman papers ¡ª and everyone knew that he, the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, stood behind Xiao Nanshan Shop ¡ª its large turnover was not preyed upon by the covetous. Otherwise, all these profits would have been snatched already.


    Despite that, Liu Wenbo did not dare to leave the market area over the past year, fearing that he would be robbed by rogue cultivators.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    On a normal day, he would not hesitate to spend spirit stones to use the teleportation array to travel between the Sect and the market.


    Compared with the hot sales in the Eastern Wilderness, the performance of the shop in the immortal realm was much worse.


    The quality of the talisman papers produced by the puppet factory was just average in the Immortal Realm, and so was the sales volume.


    Flying Sky Talisman Factory originally had a comprehensive ecosystem, producing thirty types of talisman papers, ranging from Rank-1 lower-grade to Rank-2 lower-grade, with various categories including Golden Paper and Rock Paper, and produced according to the orders from dealers.


    However, due to the restructuring of the industry chain by the puppet factory this year, they only produced two kinds of talisman paper: Rank-1 top-grade and Rank-2 lower-grade.


    The dealers would not adjust their requirements due to them, so they only ordered twenty thousand Rank-1 talisman papers and one thousand Rank-2 jade talisman papers as needed in previous years.


    Of these, almost half of the jade talisman papers that did not meet the quality standards were returned by the dealers.


    As a result, the reputation of Flying Sky Talisman Factory had somewhat deteriorated, and most of the contracts for Jade Talisman Paper for the next year have been canceled.


    At the end of the year, only 2.1 million Good Deed Points were credited to the company account, which barely kept them afloat.


    If they were to repay the bank loan and interest, it would certainly not be enough. thus, Chen Mobai used this as an excuse to apply for permission to lower prices from the relevant authorities.


    The Immortal Realm has a guide price for every item on the market. You can price your item higher than this guide price, but not lower, in order not to disrupt the market and cause various chain reactions.


    However, if the company was on the verge of going under with heaps of stock left in the warehouse, they could apply to the Immortal Business Department of the Immortal Realm for permission to lower prices.


    In the warehouse of the puppet factory, there were roughly two million Rank-1 top-grade talisman papers. Thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, the Immortal Realm Department in Red Sandstone City didn¡¯t even send personnel to check and directly greenlit the request.


    With this document, Chen Mobai could sell his products below the market guide price.


    He did not push it too far.


    The official guide price for the Rank-1 high-grade talisman paper was 80 Good Deed Points a piece and he applied for 70 Good Deed Points.


    In any case, over two hundred million ordinary Qi Practitioners in the Immortal Realm had to budget for each Good Deed Point they spent, without having reached the Foundation Establishment phase yet.


    Therefore, the lower price will definitely capture most of the market.


    In just half a month, more than two hundred thousand units were ordered from Flying Sky Talisman Factory¡¯s online shop in the Immortal Realm, which exceeded Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations.


    However, by the end of the year, many businesses had applied for price-reducing permission through connections. While his 70 Good Deed Points was considered a considerable drop, there were still many competitors in the market.


    After this, sales began to fall sharply.


    Even so, the sale of those two hundred thousand talisman papers had already netted Flying Sky Talisman Factory an income of 14 million Good Deed Points.


    Since there were no labor costs, and the pulp materials were the Red Sun Spiritual Wood from Divine Tree Secret Realm, which had no costs, this 14 million was pure profit.

    Tang Panchui was a bit unsatisfied and wanted to stimulate sales with promotions such as ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯.


    However, Chen Mobai considered and then shook his head in refusal.


    Best to keep a low profile in the Immortal Realm.


    Moreover, if they started a ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯ promotion now, customers who bought the previous two hundred thousand would feel like they lost out and could potentially demand refunds, causing even more trouble.


    Although Chen Mobai could issue additional pieces, talisman papers have a long shelf life. If they couldn¡¯t be sold here, he estimated that the stock would not be enough once Xiao Nanshan Shop expanded across the entire Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_3

    Chapter 658: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_3


    Therefore, after making a large fortune, Chen Mobai maintained his price of 70 Good Deed Points undaunted, making it a satisfactory conclusion for the year.


    After receiving this large sum of Good Deed Points, he deducted the tax for the Immortal Gate authorities, just enough to pay off the first two loans from the Immortal Gate¡¯s bank.


    One of them was the five million Good Deed Points Chen Mobai took as a loan from Life-Extension Cultivation Institute using his Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory as collateral to purchase elixirs.


    The latter was guaranteed by Qin Baipeng, considered as the Immortal Gate¡¯s policy support for his settling as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, also amounting to five million.


    After paying off these two loans, Chen Mobai was left with the debt that he had secured with the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    He could likely be debt-free by next year if he had another massive year-end sale like this again.


    At the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai planned to be steady and sure.


    The Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory would continue to research Rank-2 paper and ink talismans. The good quality ones would be sold to the customers here, and those returned would be taken to the South Mountain Shop.


    However, to avoid any leaks, Chen Mobai had the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory sign an order for the raw materials for two hundred thousand talisman papers from the Spirit Wood supplier in Yu Wood City next door.


    After all, it would take at least three or four years for the Spirit Wood in his fire-poisoned land to grow enough for harvest.


    If his puppet factory had no signs of raw material deliveries for a long time, suspicions would inevitably be raised over time. Even if his face could cover it up, it would certainly leave a trace at the relevant departments.


    He would publicly claim that the puppet factory¡¯s annual production was just so much. Each year, the extra three hundred thousand talisman papers would all be dumped into the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Divine Wood Sect could consume five hundred thousand talisman papers within the four countries under its command in a year. If the whole Eastern Wilderness was considered as the market, this output should be just right.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt that these talisman papers would expose the production capacity of the puppet factory if kept at the Immortal Gate. So, he worked hard to move them all to South Mountain.


    Then he called over his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo and pointed to the mountainous pile of snow-white talisman papers, indicating that they were to be his responsibility.


    ¡°Disciple will not let you down, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo was first shocked, then he summoned Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, and the three of them cooperated to move these talisman papers to a warehouse at the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Master, this is the income from the five Fang Markets in Jian Country last year. After deducting the shop rent and market fees, it totals thirty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two lower-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    After moving the talisman papers, Liu Wenbo came up the mountain again and handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai with both hands.


    ¡°Very good, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    After Chen Mobai accepted it, he found that most of them had already been exchanged into intermediate-grade Spirit Stones. He couldn¡¯t help but be even more satisfied with his eldest disciple, and nodded repeatedly.


    He gave a thousand Spirit Stones to Liu Wenbo, who was a bit overwhelmed and didn¡¯t know how to receive them.


    It¡¯s normal for disciples to work for their master without receiving any rewards.


    However, over the years, all three disciples had gotten to know Chen Mobai¡¯s character. After some hesitation, Liu Wenbo accepted the gift excitedly.


    Although he also came from a wealthy family, a thousand Spirit Stones were no small amount to them.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. Oh, by the way, the manager of Sky Meal Building has contacted me. He wants to reach a cooperative agreement on Spiritual Wine supply with our South Mountain Shop.¡±


    In his excitement, Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t forget about another matter. The main products in the South Mountain Shop are talisman papers, spirit rice, and spiritual wine.


    Among these, talisman papers sell the best, but the unique spiritual wine and spirit rice also have many cultivator admirers.


    Sometimes, a loose cultivator would bring the spiritual wine from the South Mountain Shop to dine at the Sky Meal Building, and after multiple occasions, an appreciative manager noticed and contacted Liu Wenbo. After tasting all the spiritual wines, the manager found them to be very good and proposed a cooperation intention to Liu Wenbo.

    ¡°Save some for your master, and discuss the rest of the stock with Zhuo Ming. See what price is suitable.¡±


    If there are Spirit Stones to be earned, he certainly won¡¯t refuse.


    ¡°Master, Sky Meal Building requests exclusive distribution. In other words, if we reach an agreement with them, we wouldn¡¯t be able to sell wine anymore.¡±


    Liu Wenbo said something that stunned Chen Mobai, before he sneered slightly and said one sentence.


    ¡°Reject them.¡±

 Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: Chapter 410 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew_1

    Chapter 659: Chapter 410 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew_1


    Though Chen Mobai knew that cooperating with Sky Meal Building would surely earn him more Spirit Stones.


    But for him, with both his puppet factory and sect supplying him with a steady stream of paper charms and Spirit Rice yield, he was gaining tens of thousands of Spirit Stones annually, which was more than enough for him.


    And it was clear that, as time passed, the annual revenue would only increase.


    The Spirit Wine was originally meant for him to enjoy and entertain friends, and Zhuo Ming would be focusing her energy onto the five hundred mu Spirit Field, so the production of Spirit Wine would undoubtedly decrease in the future.


    If they really signed an exclusive contract with Sky Meal Building, wouldn¡¯t it make Zhuo Ming even more tired?


    Chen Mobai, who always cared for his disciple, declined without a second thought.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo naturally nodded in agreement.


    After all the paper charms were transported, Chen Mobai took a leisurely stroll around his territory.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan were both arranging the harvest of varieties of Spirit Rice Spirit Plants at the foot of Xiao Nanshan.


    The sixty mu here was their own field, with various kinds of Spirit Rice being planted as experimental crops to try out different new varieties of Spirit Rice.


    But what Chen Mobai cared about the most was the new Rank-2 Spirit Rice planted in the middle of the year. This hybrid spirit rice from Qing Kuo and Jade Bud, under Zhuo Ming¡¯s meticulous care, was now fully capable of sustaining the vitality of Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    Soon, the four of them arrived at the Spirit Field.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    It was Liu Wenbo¡¯s first time witnessing the wonders of Yi Wood Divine Thunder, and he was thoroughly amazed, his reverence for his master grew.


    After Chen Mobai used the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to ripen all the Spirit Rice in the field, Zhuo Ming, wearing a straw hat, plunged her hands into the soil, closed her eyes, and used her Mother Earth Cultivation to feel the earth¡¯s energy and the mature rice plants growing on it.


    Soon, she opened her eyes with a delighted expression.


    ¡°Master, more than one-third of them are Rank-2. After a couple more cycles, we should be able to isolate the pure Rank-2 Spirit Rice seeds.¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but smile with joy.


    He plucked a stalk of rice, caressed the plump grains, stripped off the green outer husk and the slender spike of grain, looking at the long Spirit Rice with a milky-white sheen inside, he scattered it satisfyingly into the soil.


    ¡°Master, this new Spirit Rice doesn¡¯t have a name yet, why don¡¯t you give it one?¡±


    On the side, Luo Yixuan saw Chen Mobai happily suggested.


    ¡°This Spirit Rice, a hybrid of Qing Kuo and Jade Bud, let¡¯s call it ¡®Green Jade Spirit Rice¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a casual person, he took a character from each and named this new Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Master is wise.¡±


    The three disciples said in unison as they listened.


    Such was the custom in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai had gotten used to it over time.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you¡¯ll have to work hard again, plant a couple more cycles of the Green Jade Spirit Rice for seed selection, and when all the Spirit Rice that grows out is Rank-2, then promote it to all the Rank-2 spirit fields.¡±


    Zhuo Ming had been working extremely hard this year, apart from the terracing, she had to lead the ordinary people who had recently migrated here to plant Spirit Rice, she had to take care of the sixty mu of hybrid Spirit Rice with distinct characteristics in Xiao Nanshan, and there were also the Rank-1 and Rank-2 Tea Trees on the hillside. She had lost weight, and her small round face was not as round anymore.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    But amidst the busyness, Zhuo Ming felt her own value, no longer felt like a burden to the Xiao Nanshan sect.


    Their sect was respected in the Divine Wood Sect after all.


    Chen Mobai was known as the first genius of the Divine Wood Sect since its inception, known as the topmost Sword Cultivator of the sect, with a fighting strength second only to the two ancestors.


    The eldest senior brother, Liu Wenbo, was a family member, and this year he returned to the core level once again, and also presided over the major Fang Markets outside, being a guest of honor for many forces.


    The little junior sister excelled even more, she was not only beautiful, but also had amazing skills. Since joining Xiao Nanshan, for two consecutive years, she was placed third in the core rankings and was regarded as a fairy by many Qi Cultivation disciples in the Divine Wood Sect.


    In this generation of core disciples, Luo Yixuan was also considered one of the most likely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Her status was somewhat equivalent to that of E Yun in the past.


    Compared to them, Zhuo Ming seemed ordinary. Many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, when discussing the Xiao Nanshan lineage, always mentioned how lucky she was.


    Without a background, without talent, she had surprisingly managed to become a disciple of the topmost Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Especially in this year¡¯s major competition within the sect, Zhuo Ming was eliminated in the fourth round, which caused such talk to become more widespread.


    Some even said Chen Mobai, despite being mighty, had a poor vision when it came to accepting disciples.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As a Loose Cultivator, Zhuo Ming had experienced a lot of hardship. She didn¡¯t care much about what others thought of her, but she couldn¡¯t tolerate them defaming her master.


    However, they were all from the same sect, and most of the comments came from people who were jealous that she could join the Xiao Nanshan sect, not necessarily targetted at Chen Mobai.


    So Zhuo Ming could only keep these grievances to herself, and what she could do was to strive to show her value and improve herself.


    While farming, she was diligently practicing the Nine Zun Law Body, striving to master this Body Refining Technique as soon as possible, so as to vindicate herself and her master in future sect competitions.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about these things, but he still felt that Zhuo Ming had too much on her plate, so he instructed Luo Yixuan to take over the management of the ordinary people who had moved in next year, and also transferred the South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City to Liu Wenbo.

 Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: Chapter 410 Rain and Dew are Shared_2

    Chapter 660: Chapter 410 Rain and Dew are Shared_2


    From now on, Zhuo Ming only needed to focus on cultivating the terraced fields and planting the Spirit Rice, and occasionally making some wine when he had free time.


    This greatly reduced his burden.


    After assigning responsibilities to his three disciples, Chen Mobai took them to inspect the newly opened Spirit Fields.


    Thanks to Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s efforts, coupled with the help of six farming puppets, Miao Mountain and Court Mountain were fully developed this year. However, due to the hard soil of the terraced fields, they were currently filled with vast fields of Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens to improve the soil.


    Standing on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± mid-air, Chen Mobai gazed at the sea of mustard flowers below, which appeared to be like golden waves. He felt exceptionally relaxed.


    With the mountain wind blowing, the sea of flowers mixed with golden yellow and emerald green seemed to be teeming with countless golden waves, emitting a heartening fragrance that left him lightheaded with pleasure.


    ¡°The hundred mu of terraced fields should be able to plant Fire Spirit Rice next year.¡±


    After feeling the earth energy and spiritual power from the soil, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°The terraces on Big Brother¡¯s Wing Mountain have also been almost leveled. If we plant Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens next year, we¡¯ll be able to use it by the second half of the year. Only Shuyang Mountain may have to wait until the end of the next year.¡±


    As Zhuo Ming reported the status of the other two hills, Chen Mobai nodding his head and took them to check out the areas.


    ¡°Wen Bo, are you satisfied with this mountain that your master has given you?¡±


    In mid-air, Chen Mobai pointed at Wing Mountain, which had been terraced like steps up the hill this year.


    ¡°Thank you master for your kindness. I also appreciate my junior sisters¡¯ hard work.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Since Liu Wenbo was usually away, the terraces on Wing Mountain were all due to Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s efforts. The two women made a slight curtsy but did not take credit.


    The terraced farming method usually does not develop the mountain top, only up to about halfway up the mountain.


    In this way, the abundant moisture from the trees on the top of the mountain would circulate and water the terraced fields.


    In the mundane world, people would create a habitation area between the top forest and the terraced fields, forming a more perfect cycle.


    However, for cultivators, these were unnecessary, as they could disrupt the purity of their cultivation.


    The ordinary people who were moved there were arranged by Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan to live at the foot of the mountain.


    Seeing that Liu Wenbo had no place to live on Wing Mountain, Chen Mobai casually drew a Wooden House Talisman and provided his eldest disciple with a luxurious wooden house with three rooms and a hall.


    After surveying all his territories, Chen Mobai found that he now owned 460 mu of spirit fields.


    If more fields were developed on Shuyang Mountain next year, it was estimated to reach around 520 mu, slightly more than the originally projected 500 mu.


    Since there were no cultivators on Shuyang Mountain, it could be further developed upward.


    Deducting the 60 mu on Xiao Nanshan, if all 400 mu were planted with Fire Spirit Rice next year with two rounds per year and an average yield of 150 jin per mu, it could exchange 12,000 lower-grade spirit stones or contributions from the sect.


    Indeed, in terms of pure profits, farming could not compare to trading.


    However, Chen Mobai would not forget that his primary goal was still farming.


    After the inspection, the master and his disciples returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You three have worked hard this year. If you have any doubts about your cultivation, feel free to ask your master.¡±


    Sitting on the ground in front of the wooden house on the mountaintop, Chen Mobai began to give them a rare lesson while the three disciples sat solemnly in front of him.


    As the eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo was the first to express his doubts about the cultivation of duality and his adherence to the two cultivation techniques.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, questions about the disciples¡¯ cultivation were easy for him to answer.


    Even for Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Mother Cultivation and Luo Yixuan¡¯s Blackwater Cultivation, which he had not practiced himself, he could consult the unmanifested puppet in the wooden house.


    He would directly use Spirit Stones to infer what he didn¡¯t know and easily provide the most suitable answers for the three disciples.


    After this session of imparting knowledge and answering queries, the disciples admired Chen Mobai even more.


    ¡°Here are the Purple Fire Sword Talismans drawn by your master, one for each of you. Use them as life-saving tools.¡±


    After the lesson, Chen Mobai took out three purple talisman that he had prepared in advance from his storage bag and handed them to his three disciples.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo and the others didn¡¯t refuse this time. It¡¯s customary in the Eastern Wilderness for Masters to give gifts to their disciples after teaching, and it¡¯s the day that disciples anticipate most every year.


    However, some disgraceful masters go several years without teaching at all.


    ¡°Be careful when using it, don¡¯t get caught up in it yourself.¡±


    After Chen Mobai thoroughly instructed them on how to use the Purple Fire Sword Talisman, he added a warning.


    Publicly, he cultivates the Changsheng Immortality Sutra and Red Flame Sword Jue with his Dual-Phase Cultivation. Therefore, many in the Divine Wood Sect believe Chen Mobai is the most likely to reach Core Formation.


    This is because among the Foundation Establishment prodigies, Hong He, E Yun, and Yin Qingmei have not cultivated the Dual-Phase Cultivation.


    Only Chen Mobai and Zhou Wangshen have, but the latter mainly relied on resources and is generally recognized as having less talent than Chen Mobai.


    The Red Flame Sword Jue is a mystic sword technique, and Chen Mobai often relied on the Red Flame Sword Talisman during his Qi Cultivation. He was able to get into the Dance Tool Dao Academy mainly due to one, the Red Flame Tri-Sword Talisman.


    This Purple Fire Sword Talisman is an upgraded version of the Red Flame Tri-Sword Talisman, an intermediate grade under Rank-2 charm. It¡¯s a big weapon for Qi Practitioners.


    Those given to the disciples were three Rank-2 lower grade talismans, each imprinted with a weakened version of Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light. Only in this way, the talismans could be controlled and used barely by the three disciples.


    A talisman imbued with Chen Mobai¡¯s full-power Purple Fire Sword Light could reach middle-grade Rank-2.


    Further, if replaced with Green-sun Fire Sword Light, the talisman would be an upper-grade Rank-2. If Chen Mobai put his heart and soul into drawing it, it could even achieve a lower-grade Rank-3.


    But Chen Mobai would definitely not do this. Depleting his lifeblood to craft a talisman is not his style.


    He would prefer to directly draw a Rank-3 Green Flame Sword Talisman. Although it would lose a Green Flames Sword Slaughter, Chen Mobai has the Pure Yang Scroll. As long as there is enough spiritual energy over time, he can continually generate Green-sun Fire. He would rather lose some external objects than his lifeblood.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After receiving the Purple Fire Sword Talisman, each disciple solemnly took it with both hands and put it into their storage bags.


    ¡°By the way, Wen Bo, you might want to check out the Fang Market in Snow Country next year. While expanding the market, ask around if there is a spiritual object called Water Mist Ice Crystal. Also, if there¡¯s a chance to exchange for high-grade Spirit Stones, even at a premium of 10-20 percent, please help me exchange it.¡±


    Chen Mobai described the effects of the Water Mist Ice Crystal, as he didn¡¯t know its name in the Eastern Wilderness, and Liu Wenbo took careful note.


    ¡°Ming, do you still have your Five-Transform Umbrella?¡±


    With a puzzled expression, Zhuo Ming nodded and took out the magic artifact Chen Mobai had presented to her from her storage bag, handing it reverently to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I have a Peach Blossom Evil that is of no use to me, so I thought about upgrading your Five-Transform Umbrella. I will return this artifact to you after the New Year.¡±


    This thought had been in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind for a while now, but he¡¯d been a bit busy this past year and had forgotten about it.


    Seeing Zhuo Ming now, thinking how diligent this second disciple had been, reminded him of it.


    ¡°Master, I don¡¯t know how to repay your kindness.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was filled with excitement after hearing that.


    Her Five-Transform Umbrella was already of top Rank-1. If the Peach Blossom Evil were added in, it could essentially be upgraded to the ultimate Rank-1, increasing its power.


    In this year¡¯s Sect Championship, it was her Five-Transform Umbrella that barely got her through to the fourth round.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it could truly be upgraded, she might be able to aim for the top one hundred next year, even possibly becoming a quasi-true disciple.


    ¡°Xuan, give me your defensive leather armor and I will draw a defensive Talisman on it.¡±


    Chen Mobai is naturally fair to his own disciples. Seeing Luo Yixuan standing there looking envious, and thinking how well-behaved she had been this year, he mentioned the Rank-2 Beast Skin he had given her.


    To his surprise, Luo Yixuan¡¯s face turned slightly red after hearing this and she seemed a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m currently wearing that armor. I¡¯ll give it to you tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: Chapter 411: Thoughts_1

    Chapter 661: Chapter 411: Thoughts_1


    Since he had to wait for Luo Yixuan for a day, Chen Mobai took this time to ride the sect¡¯s teleportation array to the White Moon Market.


    He came to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud from the Bai family.


    This type of Spiritual Tea not only increases Divine Sense after consumption, but over time, it also enhances one¡¯s perception.


    After Chen Mobai drank two kilograms, he indeed felt a difference, his thinking became much more agile than before, and he could think of various solutions that he never would have before, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to spend his Spirit Stones.


    As a Rank-3 Spiritual Tea, this Snow Needle Immortal Bud is expensive, costing 500 Spirit Stones per ounce.


    And not just anyone is qualified to buy it.


    Last time, Yuan Hongyuan had to trade three Immortal Peach fruits for two kilograms, but all of it ended up benefitting Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai is definitely a qualified person.


    Bai Dingxian personally welcomed him and after hearing that he wanted to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud, he could only reluctantly bring out one kilogram.


    ¡°Younger brother, it¡¯s not that I won¡¯t give, but there is really only so much stock left.¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to buy more, but Bai Dingxian explained with a bitter smile that their Bai family only has three thousand-year-old tea trees, each year they can produce just over three kilograms of Snow Needle Immortal Bud.


    Among these, they have to offer two kilograms to the two elders of the Divine Wood Sect, the rest is the Bai family¡¯s stock.


    And the remaining stock, the Bai family will exchange for Spiritual Objects not found in the Eastern Wilderness with Star Heaven Commercial Union and others, or even carry them to the Eastern Yi Territory to exchange for Foundation Building Pills.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The stock of Bai family over the years is actually only about three to four kilograms.


    The current kilogram is Bai Dingxian¡¯s own private stock.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked enlightened.


    For this kilogram of Snow Needle Immortal Bud, he paid 8000 Spirit Stones.


    He originally wanted to exchange for more high-quality spirit stones, but Bai Dingxian bitterly said that the Bai family¡¯s account now only has two left, they need to keep them to start the family¡¯s and market¡¯s array, they really cannot exchange them.


    Chen Mobai also expressed his understanding.


    After leaving the Bai family, he did not delay and went straight back to Divine Wood Sect.


    The next day, he took the shyly presented armour from Luo Yixuan and declared that he was closing off from the outside once again.


    ¡°Brother, how do you feel about this upgrade plan?¡±


    In the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, Chen Mobai handed over his upgrade blueprint for the Five Elements Umbrella to Luan Jingsheng to check.


    Luan Jingsheng, as the first maker of this talisman tool, interned at the Flying Sky Talisman Factory last year, and thanks to his solid foundation in talisman crafting, he easily became the backbone of the company¡¯s technology even though he is only a Rank-1 Talisman Maker.


    Even through the talisman tool practice exercises of Flying Sky Talisman Factory, he solidified his foundation and broadened his perspective, and passed the assessment of Rank-1 Artifact Refiner at the end of the year.


    Chen Mobai thinks Luan Jingsheng is a talented person that can be nurtured, if he can cross the threshold of Foundation Establishment, Chen has even thought about giving him some shares of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, so he can oversee the quality control of Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink in the future.


    However, when Chen Mobai used Luan Jingsheng¡¯s personal panel to import into the Foundation Treasure prediction, he discovered that his chances of reaching Foundation Establishment are not high.


    But they¡¯re friends after all, so every time Chen Mobai comes back, whether it¡¯s for drawing talismans or upgrading and refining the Five Elements Umbrella, he would call him over to teach by example.


    ¡°My realm is low and I can¡¯t detect any problems.¡±


    Although Luan Jingsheng is a dual-profession Rank-1 Talisman Maker and Artifact Refiner, he is very humble in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m not good at Artifact Refining and I need your help.¡±


    Chen Mobai studied treasure appraisal at the Daoist Academy, and the Talisman Crafting Department also has content related to talisman tools, so this time he had the confidence to personally start refining the Five Elements Umbrella.


    After all, this Five Elements Umbrella is a Talisman Tool.


    Talisman Tools are Magical Artifacts that carry talismans, and even though they¡¯re classified under Magical Artifacts, their actual power relies heavily on the talismans that are drawn and adhered to them. They are easy to operate and are favored by Qi Practitioners.


    Above Talisman Tools, there¡¯s a powerful type of talisman called ¡°Legal Treasures¡±.


    Talisman Tools rely on the power of the talismans they carry, while Legal Treasures use talismans to contain the essence of Magical Artifacts. Once triggered, they would explode with all the power of the Magical Artifacts in an instant, displaying colossal and magnificent power.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, only the life treasure of a Gold Core cultivator can be refined into a Legal Treasure.


    But in the sect, there¡¯s a special method, as long as it¡¯s a Rank-2 or above Magical Artifact, it can be turned into a Legal Treasure.


    However, every Legal Treasure made permanently loses a Magical Artifact, this wasteful behavior is naturally not allowed in the frugal sect.


    But if a Magical Artifact loses its rank after not being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time after its master¡¯s death, the sect would allow it to be refined into a Legal Treasure.


    For instance, in the Treasure Trove of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, even with the power of the Device Nurturing Sphere and the mighty Fire Vein, every few decades a batch of Magical Artifacts would lose their spiritual light, having been left unchosen.

    After all, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy only takes in so many people each year. Even if each one was able to reach Foundation Establishment and enter the Treasure Trove, there would only be a few hundred artifacts taken every decade.


    And the Treasure Trove contains almost all the Magical Artifacts of thousands of graduates from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, there are tens of thousands of Rank-2 ones alone.


    In fact, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy is doing its best to give out Magical Artifacts.


    Everyone who reaches Foundation Establishment is given one, and for prodigies like Chen Mobai and Zuo Qiushi, they are even given Rank-3 Magical Artifacts.


    Even the Rank-4 True Dragon Ding was very freely lent to Bian Jingchun.

    Chapter 662: Chapter 411: Thoughts_2


    Even with the vast resources of Dance Tool Dao Academy, it is challenging to nurture so many magic artifacts.


    Every now and then, Duanmu Longrong would lead the Talisman Master students to transform those magic artifacts whose spiritual power has become extremely weak, nearing the point of degradation, into talisman treasures.


    However, even so, there are still many magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove that remain untouched and ultimately turn into scrap iron.


    As a genius of the Talisman Department, Chen Mobai also heard about this.


    However, in recent years, due to his Void Spirit Eye, he could accurately scrutinize the reality of the Device Nurturing Sphere, thus making the academy students more enthusiastic about using the device pieces.


    Hence, Duanmu Longrong decided to postpone the time for making talisman treasures by two years due to the substantial consumption of the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After all, the Five-Transform Umbrella is only a Rank-1 talisman device. With the joint effort of Chen Mobai and Luan Jingsheng and the guiding principle of tackling the difficult before the easy, Tao Hua Evil was refined into it in half a month.


    On the umbrella surface, initially filled with numerous spiritual patterns, there is now an additional image of peach blossoms falling.


    When the umbrella is unfolded and spiritual power is infused, pink miasma begins to gush out.


    The spreading miasma can cause cultivators to become dizzy and agitated, and if one stays in it for a long time, their energy can seriously decline and suffer significant damage to their elemental energy.


    ¡°You have worked hard,¡± Chen Mobai said. He is not an actual artifact refiner, so most of the detailed work had been done by Luan Jingsheng.


    ¡°It was a rare opportunity for hands-on practice, I should be the one thanking you,¡± Luan Jingsheng replied.


    After upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella again, Luan Jingsheng gazed somewhat fondly at this artifact of his, seemingly reluctant to part with it.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°By the way, the quality of the Jade Talisman Paper we produced last year wasn¡¯t up to scratch, and half of it was returned. Do you have any good suggestions?¡± Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng about his Flying Sky Talisman Factory.


    ¡°The paper is Rank-2 after all. Director Pan is proficient in his craft, but he used to rely on Boss Wu for quality control. Suddenly entrusting him with such responsibility definitely requires a period of adjustment,¡± was Luan Jingsheng¡¯s reply.


    Chen Mobai remembered Pan Kaiqiang, the workshop director of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, as a committed worker.


    However, they still needed to recruit someone skilled in creating talisman paper and talisman ink.


    Chen Mobai had initially intended to train Luan Jingsheng into a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, but he was set to graduate next year. If he fails in his Foundation Establishment, he will have to serve in the army as per the laws of the immortal sects.


    Chen Mobai has no plans to nurture someone only to utilize them ten years later.


    ¡°Do you know anyone who could be referred to the company, for instance, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker from your institute?¡± Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng again.


    Luan Jingsheng indeed knew a few, but they were all already Chief Advisors in several Talisman Factories or had started their own businesses to earn Good Deed Points for Foundation Establishment resources.


    Regarding the Foundation Establishment cultivators who are talisman makers in Cinnabarite Institute, they were all just like Chen Mobai and had started their own factories.


    After bidding farewell to Luan Jingsheng, Chen Mobai remembered the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop owner he had interacted with previously. The shopkeeper was capable of refining Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismans, implying he was a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. Chen Mobai wondered if he would be willing to give up his online shop business to work here.


    Chen Mobai made an inquiry but was immediately rejected by the shopkeeper.


    After all, the shopkeeper was also a boss and it was understandable that he did not like to be an employee.


    Although regretful, Chen Mobai understood.


    Back in his workshop, he took out the leather armor given by Luo Yixuan.


    Sine his little disciple practiced Blackwater Cultivation, he decided to incorporate the Water Elemental Shield into its spiritual patterns.


    First, he modeled it on the computer, then he applied the spiritual patterns of the transformed spells on the leather armor model. After confirming he could draw it completely, Chen Mobai simulated it twice more in his mind before finally taking out his Tian Shu Talisman Brush set to grind the ink and start drawing.


    It was much simpler than upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella.


    Sealing the Dark Water was a bit troublesome, but under his Rank-2 Talisman Maker skills, it was successfully formed.


    Admiring the shiny, waving-like spiritual patterns on the leather armor, Chen Mobai nodded contentedly.


    The power of this Water Elemental Shield had reached the peak of Rank-1. Even if encountering ordinary Rank-2 Technique Law, it could resist for a moment.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s attainment, it was not impossible to directly upgrade it to the Rank-2 level, especially considering the raw material of the leather armor was a Rank-2 beast¡¯s skin, which could be used as Rank-2 Talisman Paper.


    But once Luo Yixuan activated it, it would consume nearly fifty percent of her spiritual power, which would be a loss for her.


    By keeping the Water Elemental Shield at Rank-1, Luo Yixuan, after practicing several times, could control it at will and the consumption of spiritual power was also minimal.

    For Qi Practitioners, having more Rank-2 talismans was not necessarily better, one or two would suffice.


    Even Chen Mobai had only one Rank-3 magic artifact.


    After upgrading his two disciples¡¯ magic artifacts, it was time for the New Year celebration.


    At the warm New Year¡¯s dinner, Chen Mobai presented the Five Metal Elemental Stones he had previously purchased at the Star Heaven Auction to his cousin, Wang Xinying. It was a belated gift for her admission into the Taiyuan Academy.


    ¡°Thank you, brother. You are so good to me!¡± exclaimed Wang Xinying, her face beautiful and skin white as jade. After receiving the Five Metal Elemental Stones from Chen Mobai, she played with them affectionately. Upon infusing it with her spiritual power, the artifact embryo began to transform according to her Divine Sense.

 Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: Chapter 411 Thoughts_3

    Chapter 663: Chapter 411 Thoughts_3


    In a short while, she began to giggle as she shaped the five-metal elemental stone into tiny statues of their family, creating a happy family scene.


    ¡°How¡¯s Primordial Elemental Academy? Have you had any insights about the threshold techniques?¡±


    After all, she was his younger sister and Chen Mobai cared about her.


    ¡°It is alright. But you know what, brother? You are super famous at our academy. I dare not let them know I¡¯m your sister.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai smiled slightly. He had some inkling of his own reputation at the Daoist Academy.


    In this era, he was undoubtedly the top student in the college.


    In Little Red Sky, he had suppressed a lot of talents from the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    His invincible title had been truly hard-fought and won.


    After the New Year, Chen Mobai left Red Sandstone City.


    Since many old classmates hadn¡¯t returned this year, especially Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai, after dealing with the affairs of his two factories, didn¡¯t waste time there.


    His main concern was Meng Huang, who was laid up in hospital.


    However, before leaving, he had his mother post a job advertisement on Red Sandstone City¡¯s talent website, hoping to find a Rank-2 Talisman Master who could control the quality of the Rank-2 talisman paper in the flying talisman factory.


    Anyway, when it was time for the interviews, if he had time, he would come back. If he didn¡¯t have time, a video interview would do just fine.


    wuxiaworld.site Novts`O.co


    After returning to Crimson City, Chen Mobai visited Meng Huang in the hospital.


    She was looking much better, her facial color had mostly returned to normal. The doctor said she could be discharged in about a week¡¯s time.


    All she needed then was to recuperate at home and recover her elemental energy.


    ¡°You came?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai enter, Meng Huang, who was reading in her hospital bed, greeted him with a bright smile.


    ¡°Yeah, how are you feeling?¡±


    ¡°I feel fine now, but the doctors want to observe me for a few more days.¡±


    After discussing recent events, Chen Mobai noticed that Meng Huang was holding the original copy of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, which he had given her. He couldn¡¯t help but ask if she had had any insights.


    Unfortunately, Meng Huang shook her head sadly.


    ¡°Did the Lone Ranger respond?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about this as well. He still needed to wait another week for the doctor¡¯s appointment he had requested for Tian Wenguang.


    ¡°He did respond, but he said that his method involved personal privacy and couldn¡¯t be revealed to me.¡±


    Listening to Meng Huang, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. Tian Wenguang¡¯s method of practicing the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique certainly shouldn¡¯t be widely shared.


    So he didn¡¯t have much confidence in the subject of the consultation, guessing that the latter might be upset after hearing the question.


    Nonetheless, it was worth a try.


    ¡°However, it seems that this Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique is only suitable for male cultivators like you.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Meng Huang¡¯s face flushed slightly as she said something that surprised Chen Mobai. However, he quickly recovered and began to explain seriously.


    ¡°This technique originally belongs to the ancient Daoist lineage of True Yang Sect. It was created by the founding ancestor of True Yang, and once practiced, one¡¯s vital essence remains unabated, preserving one¡¯s Original Yang forever.¡±


    ¡°The True Yang Sect is a practice sect for men, so there¡¯s no equivalent for preserving Original Yin.¡±


    ¡°However, I think that the theories should be the same. It¡¯s just that the practice may need to be different due to the differences between men and women. But how to modify it precisely would still need consultation with a professional.¡±


    Though Chen Mobai knew Tian Wenguang¡¯s method of practicing the Golden Barrier Secret Technique, he still needed to consult with him, as Meng Huang could not follow his method exactly.

    However, at this time, Chen Mobai suddenly had a bold idea.


    Since he had successfully practiced the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique and no longer had to worry about the loss of original Yang, could he help Meng Huang understand it through multiple attempts?


    Why did he think of that just now?


    Was it because he had drunk too much Snow Needle Immortal Bud and broadened his mind?


    Chen Mobai stared at his sudden idea in utter confusion.

 Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: Chapter 412: Turning over (10k)_1

    Chapter 664: Chapter 412: Turning over (10k)_1


    After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy.


    Zhongli Tianyu had matured a lot. He stayed with the student council last year without going back home, and handled many affairs very capably in Chen Mobai¡¯s stead.


    He is a true genius; there are only things he does not want to do, there¡¯s nothing he cannot do.


    After visiting the student council, Chen Mobai naturally went to greet Che Yucheng.


    Beyond expressing his respect for his teacher, his main aim was to inquire about the progress of the Purple Electric Sword issue.


    ¡°Shan-Hai College has capable people. They actually made the Purple Electric Sword a condition for recruiting new students. They announced that the students enrolling this year will have a chance to obtain this Rank-4 sword artifact,¡± Che Yucheng admired when discussing the matter.


    Because the Purple Electric Sword was originally destined to be given away, Shan-Hai College used this sword artifact to its fullest. This year, the new students¡¯ resources of Shan-Hai College were ranked first among the Ten Great Academies, even far ahead of others.


    The talented individuals who failed to make it into the top four Daoist Academies have basically listed Shan-Hai College as their first choice.


    ¡°Qi Practitioners probably won¡¯t be favored by the Purple Electric Sword,¡± Chen Mobai said aloud after hearing this, but deep down he was slightly worried in case some peerless Sword Cultivation Genius emerged out of nowhere.


    ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily the case. But the principle and several senior council members had a verbal agreement that even if the Purple Electric Sword chooses its master ahead of time, you and several others will be allowed to try it out last,¡± Che Yucheng explained, saying that Chen Mobai and several other Core Formation cultivators related to the ownership of the Purple Electric Sword were guaranteed to be in the final round.


    If the Purple Electric Sword still chose an outsider after comparing, then they would follow the rules of the Immortal Sect; nobody could complain.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt slightly relieved.


    After all, over the years his spiritual root talent has improved to the level of a genius. The value of his fire spiritual roots was just a digit away from becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Moreover, he also possesses the Rank-3 Perfect Yi Wood Divine Thunder, which indeed goes well with the two main attributes of the Purple Electric Sword.


    After leaving Che Yucheng¡¯s, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house.


    He used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to Xiao Nanshan and returned the upgraded Five Elements Umbrella and armor to his two disciples.


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, both felt the powerful change in the magic artifacts, and their faces lit up with joy.


    ¡°Recently, there have been no major events in our sect, right?¡±


    ¡°There has been occasional friction with cultivators from Shake Mountain in Lei Nation. The sect leader sent quite a few of the Foundation Establishment elders to assist Uncle Zhou. This might trigger a major conflict between our sects again,¡± Luo Yixuan discussed a recent, hot topic. Given that Meng Hong failed to form his core lasy year ¨C in part due to Ji Zhenshi exposing his hidden power ¨C it¡¯s certain these elders hold a grudge.


    Considering the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, another conflict is likely.


    But this time, if they formally arrange for a battle, it might not be as easy as catching Ji Zhenshi off-guard that one time.


    The Divine Wood Sect has enemies all over Eastern Wilderness, with Golden Cliff as its only ally.


    If they really go to war with Shake Mountain again, not only do they have to consider Ji Zhenshi and South Dao Master, but also the Five Elements Sect and the elusive Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators.


    Even Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, which have long remained neutral, would likely kick the Divine Wood Sect while it¡¯s down if they notice it¡¯s waning.


    If they go to war, Chen Mobai believes that their best strategy is to fight swiftly.


    However, the sect¡¯s strategy ultimately depends on the two elder¡¯s will, and all Chen Mobai can do is be prepared for war.


    Being recognised as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s top sword cultivator, second only to the two seniors in battle power, and having become a well-known figure in Eastern Wilderness, he certainly couldn¡¯t stay at the sect to defend it.


    Once the war starts, with the Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu unable to go into action, Chen Mobai would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.


    He might even have to lead the entire battlefront directly.


    After all, here in Eastern Wilderness, seniority doesn¡¯t matter; only strength does.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to be ready for war at all times. Of the three disciples, she is the most quick-witted and gives Chen Mobai the most peace of mind.


    If she could get some practical experience on the battlefront between the two sects, it would be very helpful for her last step of forming a foundation, spirit sense leaving the body.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai being present would guarantee her safety.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s also another issue. There are signs of a demonic beast wave at Yunmeng Great Marsh again. Elder Fu took a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Penalty Evil Hall to suppress it,¡± Luo Yixuan added.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but recall his experience at Yunmeng Great Marsh.


    If he hadn¡¯t had the Turtle Treasure to transport him, he would have likely died on Green Light Island.


    As the number one holy land in the Eastern Wilderness, Yunmeng Great Marsh is the Holy Land of countless cultivators, and the burial place for many Loose Cultivators.

    ¡°There is a mysterious ruin discovered within the borders of Snow Country; there seem to be Devil Cultivators active in Mist Country, lots of loose cultivators have died horribly, their bodies drained of all essence; and Back to Sky Valley is about to refine a Rank-4 elixir and is still short of three types of thousand-year-old medicinal ingredients, they are currently collecting from the whole Eastern Wilderness¡­¡±


    Luo Yixuan talked about the major events that happened in different parts of the Eastern Wilderness recently, and Chen Mobai admired her attention to detail.


    However, for the Divine Wood Sect, what they probably care about the most is the war with Shake Mountain.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Xiao Nanshan for two days.


    During this time, he also took Luo Yixuan to visit Divine Wood City, where they paid their respects to the sect leader Chu Zuoshu and a series of other Foundation Establishment elders in the sect, and brought them some newly brewed Spiritual Wine.

 Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: Chapter 412: Turning Back (10k)_2

    Chapter 665: Chapter 412: Turning Back (10k)_2


    During their drink, Chu Zuoshu indeed hinted to him to prepare. If a war began with Mountain Shaker Peak, the older generation like Fu intended for Chen Mobai to be the main general on their sect¡¯s side.


    Many Foundation Establishment cultivators came to visit Chen Mobai too.


    For example, Yue Zutao, Yuan Chiye, Yan Jinye, Mu Yuan.


    After deepening their relationships a bit, Chen Mobai returned to Xiao Nanshan with Luo Yixuan.


    The day for his online consultation with Tian Wenguang arrived quickly.


    As many patients had private issues, the platform allowed for anonymity. Chen Mobai considered this and chose to consult anonymously to avoid potential rejection and ensuing embarrassment.


    Tian Wenguang: [Hello, I am Dr. Tian from Baizhu Hospital.]


    On the consultation chat platform, Tian Wenguang logged in and introduced himself. His profile picture was of him, a tall and skinny man in a white doctor¡¯s coat.


    Chen Mobai: [Hello Dr. Tian, I would like to inquire about some issues regarding Yuan Yang.]


    Research regarding Yuan Yang was indeed categorized under men¡¯s health in the cultivation world. Thus, there was no problem with Chen Mobai¡¯s line of inquiry.


    Tian Wenguang: [Please go ahead.]


    Chen Mobai: [Here¡¯s the thing, I practiced to completion the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets in order to understand the boundary technique. However, I currently have a girlfriend who often insinuates that we could go further. As my Yuan Yang is locked, does that mean I won¡¯t be able to experience sexual pleasure?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, here¡¯s the thing, you probably don¡¯t have a deep understanding of Yuan Yang. Yuan Yang is a type of Innate Qi stored deep within your body. Normally, if you stimulate yourself, it won¡¯t consume Yuan Yang. Only during the process of intercourse, with the correct positioning and postures, will your Yuan Yang be stimulated by the Original Yin. However, since you have cultivated the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, even normal sexual behavior will not cause the Yuan Yang to be stimulated. You can just enjoy the process as normal. To put it simply, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve had a vasectomy. Even though you can enjoy the pleasure of sex, the downside is that you won¡¯t be able to have offspring.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Chen Mobai: [Oh, is that really so? But my parents are pushing us and have mentioned several times that they want to have grandchildren. What should I do?]


    Tian Wenguang: [If you really want to have children, then you either have to ruin your own cultivation or take the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret to the next level, where you can control its activation at will.]


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, here¡¯s the thing. I practice the cultivation of Pure Yang Scroll, and retaining Yuan Yang is more beneficial for my Cultivation Technique. So, is it possible for me to have children without releasing Yuan Yang?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, it seems I need to provide you with a briefing on the knowledge of conception.]


    Tian Wenguang: [Every individual carries Innate Qi within them while in the fetal membrane. However, after being born into the worldly world, they are left with only Innate Yuan Yang and Original Yin. These two types of Innate Qi are key to nurturing life. Yin alone won¡¯t conceive, Yang alone won¡¯t grow. Therefore, it is only when Yuan Yang and Original Yin meet and combine during intercourse, that a new life can be nurtured in the fetal membrane.]


    Tian Wenguang: [So if you want to have offspring, you have to give up your Yuan Yang.]


    After listening to Tian Wenguang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai had an epiphany. Normally, his actions would not consume Yuan Yang.


    It is only during intercourse that Yuan Yang would be attracted by Original Yin and life could be conceived.


    But he was certain that he would not sacrifice his Yuan Yang for Meng Huang, and moreover, he intended to use Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin to help his Divine Sense breakthrough to the Golden Dan Level when he reaches the Perfection stage of his Foundation Establishment.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai articulated another query.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, although my parents desire grandchildren, my girlfriend and I feel that we are still young and want to prioritize our Cultivation Level. I have successfully established my foundation and also mastered the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret to lock my Yuan Yang during intercourse. However, my girlfriend is merely a Qi Practitioner and I¡¯m afraid that her Original Yin might be prematurely stimulated during intercourse. Would this situation prevent us from conceiving in the future when we want a child?]


    Chen Mobai began to lead the discussion gradually. True to his profession as a men¡¯s health doctor, Tian Wenguang provided confident responses.


    Tian Wenguang: [It is possible. Generally speaking, when a female cultivator¡¯s Original Yin is stimulated and fails to merge with Yuan Yang, it returns to the fetal membrane. However, this repetitive process may consume Original Yin bit by bit. So if you have plans for having children, you may want to consider this.]

    In the ancient times, there were numerous crooked cultivators who exploited this principle to practice Yin harvesting Yang and Yang harvesting Yin techniques.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, there is another embarrassing problem. My method of cultivation of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret is a bit special. Initially, I suddenly comprehended the principle of locking while I was manually stimulating myself. I was thinking, can my girlfriend also achieve comprehension in this way so that we can both lock our energies? This way we can enjoy intercourse without worrying about the issues mentioned above.]


    Tian Wenguang: [¡­]


    Upon reading Chen Mobai¡¯s message, Tian Wenguang seemed to be unable to control his emotions and responded with a row of ellipses, dumbstruck.


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret and think no one in the cultivation world would know more than me about this Cultivation Technique. But after meeting you, I realize there are always people who are better.]

 Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: Chapter 412: Turning Over (10k)_3

    Chapter 666: Chapter 412: Turning Over (10k)_3


    Tian Wenguang finally couldn¡¯t resist expressing some of his opinions, and Chen Mobai smiled faintly when he saw his reply. He finally managed to redirect the consultation towards the topics he was curious about.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, do you think my idea will work?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Theoretically, it should work, but given that the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret leans more towards Male Dao Practice, even with your approach, it might not be easy. I recommend putting it into practice for tangible results.]


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, didn¡¯t you say, that with practice, even if I could hold the Original Yang, my girlfriend¡¯s Original Yin might still be depleted in the process over time. Won¡¯t that be a loss given what we¡¯ve achieved?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, I can tell you are quite prudent with your personal life. Since you¡¯ve approached me, it must be fate. I¡¯ll give you a hint. To attract and meld Original Yin and Original Yang, it needs to be done in the right position¡­]


    After the consultation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire Tian Wenguang.


    Indeed, each has his own field of expertise. With his guidance, Chen Mobai finally had a complete idea of how Meng Huang should practice the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret.


    However, he was a bit reluctant to broach the subject.


    While Chen Mobai was thinking, Meng Huang sent him a message.


    She was discharged from the hospital today and had returned to her villa atop the mountain. To express her gratitude to Chen Mobai, she invited him over for a meal.


    After some consideration, Chen Mobai decided to completely reveal this matter to Meng Huang. Whether she wanted to adopt this approach to practice the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret would be up to her.


    He took a pot of spiritual wine newly brewed by Zhuo Ming and leisurely flew to the mountain.


    He flew in from the balcony, Meng Huang seemed to be in the kitchen preparing. Upon hearing the noise, she came out wearing a blue and white apron.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Since she was at home, she was wearing flip-flops, revealing her pearly glistening toes.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, she smiled charmingly and placed the delicate dish in her hand on the dining table in the living room.


    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this is the spiritual wine from my hometown, to celebrate your returning home.¡±


    Meng Huang bent her graceful waist and nodded her thanks to Chen Mobai. After that, she took the spiritual wine and placed it on the glass table on the balcony.


    ¡°My cooking skills are not that great, hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    Soon, the two of them sat down. Meng Huang cooked four dishes and a soup. After Chen Mobai tasted it, he felt they were no less than those of experienced chefs.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, thank you for the hospitality.¡±


    After they finished eating, Chen Mobai put down his chopsticks. Meng Huang blushingly nodded her head, then used the Cleaning Technique to clean up the table.


    The two of them moved onto the balcony and sat down.


    Meng Huang took the initiative to bring out two glass cups. She opened the small pot of spiritual wine that Chen Mobai had brought. The liquor was clear and slightly green.


    This was made by Zhuo Ming using discarded Green Jade Spirit Rice. Although it was Rank-1, it was considered top-notch.


    Due to the Green Jade Spirit Rice being found in the Eastern Wilderness, it was abundant with spiritual energy; it had a rich taste that was rather strong.


    Meng Huang took a sip, and her snow-white cheeks blushed. Her eyes began to blur, and the pupils of her eyes, which were slightly tipsy, were filled with shimmering light and captivating charm.


    ¡°Good wine.¡±


    Although Meng Huang didn¡¯t know much about wine, she could taste the spiritual energy contained within. As a Qi Practitioner, this was the best wine for her.


    ¡°About the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, I have consulted my friend from the Imperial Medical Academy.¡±


    After taking a sip, Chen Mobai felt that the atmosphere was just right for discussing the matter. After choosing his words carefully, he discussed what he had conversed with Tian Wenguang about in the presence of Meng Huang¡¯s expectant gaze.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Meng Huang, being an innocent girl got embarrassed after hearing half of it, her cheeks turned crimson and her eyes were filled with shyness.


    But her eyes were still fixed on Chen Mobai, afraid of missing a single word.


    ¡°Practice leads to true knowledge. Try holding back at the peak of your physical sensations, experiencing the sensation of restraint. If one day you can control it freely, then the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret is almost accomplished.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had finished, Meng Huang was blushing with embarrassment. Even though she had signed a contract to devote herself to him after Foundation Establishment, when the matter of physical intimacy was explicitly discussed, she felt bashful.


    ¡°How could I possibly hold back!¡±


    She couldn¡¯t help but lowering her voice to comment.


    Good heavens! Although she had accidentally seen some related content, she was essentially a diligent student deeply devoted to her cultivation. And should things develop in that way, she felt she would definitely lose her composure.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, nobody can hold back in the beginning. But I can lock up my Original Yang, as long as you do not release the Original Yin, the process for us would merely be normal enjoyment.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai earnestly retold the knowledge he had just learned from Tian Wenguang.


    ¡°How can I not release my Original Yin during that process?¡±


    Meng Huang lowered her head and avoided Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, speaking these words almost in a whisper.


    ¡°Check and balance between Original Yin and Original Yang will definitely happen at the placenta, as long as you avoid making contact there, even if you can¡¯t bear to hold back for a moment, you won¡¯t release the Original Yin.¡±


    After Chen Mobai earnestly imparted the final point that Tian Wenguang had given him, Meng Huang raised her somewhat puzzled head.

 Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: Chapter 412: Turned Around (10k)_4

    Chapter 667: Chapter 412: Turned Around (10k)_4


    Her snow-white skin was set off by her rosy cheeks, made even more alluring after a few drinks, giving off an intoxicatingly charming aura.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Meng Huang was a little confused about the last sentence Chen Mobai said. Chen Mobai quietly cleared his throat, casting a glance at her curvaceous hips slanted on the couch.


    At first, she was baffled, but after a moment her face turned red with sudden understanding.


    When Chen Mobai said his goodbyes, there was still a blush on Meng Huang¡¯s cheeks.


    Because the method he proposed was quite shocking, she needed some time to digest and evaluate it.


    Chen Mobai was understanding of this.


    So, he graciously excused himself, allowing Meng Huang some time to think things over.


    However, he immediately put that matter aside.


    Because his cultivation level was about to break through.


    Last year, when Yuan Hongyuan and the others had tried to ambush him, he had ended up with a bunch of Immortal Peach fruits. After taking them, he broke through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop.


    Since Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea had been expanded to the state of Perfection by the Tree Fruit, there were no bottlenecks to speak of before Core Formation.


    Last year, he had been diligently practicing and consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and finally this year, he had accumulated enough Liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power to be on the verge of another breakthrough.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai rented a room in Building Nine, borrowed Yunyang Bing¡¯s Spirit Gathering Array, with an adequate supply of Spirit Stones, meditated for three days and nights. He easily entered the sixth level of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Originally, according to his estimates, progressing one level per year, he might not have been able to break through to level seven of Foundation Establishment by his graduation.


    Because from level six to seven of Foundation Establishment, the amount of Liquid Spiritual Power required increased by one and a half times. Even with sufficient Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it would still take a year and a half.


    But now, because of the Immortal Peach fruits, he was confident of achieving that.


    Graduating at level seven of Foundation Establishment would do justice to his title as the first Seat of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the premier candidate amongst university students in this era of the Immortal Sect.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai began to wonder how long it would take for Meng Huang to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    If they used Core Formation materials from the Immortal Sect, he would have to wait at least another sixty years. With that much time, Meng Huang would undoubtedly reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    But Chen Mobai felt that given the situation in the Eastern Wilderness, they might not have that luxury of time.


    With an ample amount of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and his help, it should take Meng Huang about twenty to thirty years to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    However, considering she was potentially capable of playing the Shocking God Sonata as a Mysterious Sound Dao Seed, once she successfully establishes her foundation, the Immortal Sect would definitely support her. Even after graduating, things like Barrier Breaking Pills could probably be obtained, she should be able to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment within twenty years.


    If all else fails, he could try to get another set of Tree Fruits, although he wasn¡¯t sure if the Mystic Sound Method was compatible with this type of spiritual object.


    Chen Mobai had indeed been planning to get another set, as he was considering that his first Core Formation attempt might fail, and he would need a second chance.


    But when forming his core, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power would completely consume the Longevity Spiritual Power. If he wanted to attempt the Core Formation again, he would need to re-cultivate the Dual-Phase Technique and Longevity Scripture.


    There¡¯s a shortcut to this ¨C consuming another set of Tree Fruits would allow him to regain the Longevity Spiritual Power at the perfection level of Foundation Establishment.


    In this case, he would need to start considering materials for Core Formation.


    He couldn¡¯t reveal his identity on the Immortal Sect side, so he could only collect medicinal herbs in the Eastern Wilderness and then find someone to refine them.


    But who to ask?


    Creating a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill is a Rank-4 task, which would require at least a True Person after Core Formation.


    During his contemplation, Chen Mobai packed up the spent Spirit Stones and Yunyang Bing¡¯s Gathering Array from around him.


    After coming out of seclusion, as per his habit, he got together with the people from the Metaphysical Class in the Daoist Academy.


    However, fewer and fewer people showed up.


    Ming Yuhua was taken away again by the director of the Refining Implement Department. He said he was going to repair a large-scale magical instrument for the Immortal Sect¡¯s military division.


    Neither Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran had returned. Apparently, they were meeting their parents, the elders on both sides were very satisfied, and they were already discussing about getting married after graduation.


    Chen Mobai found this hard to comprehend.


    How can one establish a household without completing the path of cultivation first?


    He would definitely wait until after he had formed his core, or when there was no further progress in his cultivation before he would consider marriage.


    But on second thought, they were all in their ninth year now, after graduation they would have to endure sixty or even a hundred years of waiting for Core Formation materials. It does seem pretty lonely to be alone in such long years; having a companion doesn¡¯t sound too bad.


    Most of the people in the Metaphysical Class had already succeeded in establishing their foundations, only Jiang Zhenliang, Lu Jiaxin, Leng Weiyi, and Yan Taiwu remained.


    But they had all comprehended the brink method and were certain to succeed in reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment before graduation.

    Even so, the four who had not yet established their foundations felt an immense pressure. They vowed at this gathering that they would go into intense seclusion, and not come out until they had established their foundations.


    After finishing the spiritual wine that Chen Mobai had brought, everyone started to leave in twos and threes.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    With Ming Yuhua absent, Chen Mobai could only split the bill with Yunyang Bing. The latter¡¯s normally aloof face seemed a bit happy today as he showed Chen Mobai his right ring finger. The nail had turned light green in color.


    ¡°Did you refine the array into your body again?¡±

 Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: Chapter 412 Turning around (10k)_5

    Chapter 668: Chapter 412 Turning around (10k)_5


    Chen Mobai knew his friend Yunyang Bing very well and immediately realized what was happening.


    ¡°Exactly, I have refined a Rapid Formation, which will significantly speed up my movements when I am exploring the Spirit Vein.¡±


    Rapid Formation is a technique known to Celestial Sect that can reduce one¡¯s weight and enhance nerve response speed. However, it is very challenging to master, so very few people try to cultivate it.


    The fact that Yunyang Bing can integrate Array Refining into his body shows his mastery of the technique.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was happy to see his friend make progress.


    The two drank all night and only returned home at dawn.


    ¡­


    In ancient Daoist lineage, there is a tradition called Shadowless Valley.


    The disciples of this lineage can cultivate their own shadows into external avatars, making them rulers hidden in darkness.


    However, after the Celestial sect began to rule the world, Shadowless Valley did not dare to go against the trend and retreated into the mundane world.


    Leveraging the mystery of their shadowy lineage, which allowed easy prying into secrets, they established detective agencies specialized in undertaking domestic investigations involving extramarital affairs.


    In Crimson City, there was an agency established by a descendant of Shadowless Valley. The director, Lai Songqiang, was a graduate of the Starlight Institute and also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Last year, he received an assignment from Li Yuejiao at Azure Feather Cliff, who asked him to investigate who celebrity star Meng Huang had been in close contact with during a certain period.


    Lai Songqiang was initially reluctant to deal with anyone from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but Li Yuejiao¡¯s offer was quite generous.


    When he was still hesitating, he read about Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure in a newspaper.


    As a top star of the Celestial Sect, this news quickly spread everywhere.


    With popularity came both fans and haters alike. Upon Meng Huang¡¯s failure, her detractors joyously mocked her, including some students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    They harbored a bias towards students like Meng Huang, who had entered through the back door.


    When Chen Mobai first joined the academy, he was ridiculed by Ma Xiaoming at the station over this issue, and it was because of this that he got acquainted with Meng Huang, setting the stage for future events.


    At that time, the hospitalized Meng Huang was under immense pressure.


    At the time, Chen Mobai was unaware of this; he had returned to Red Sandstone City to manage his business affairs.


    It was for this reason that Lai Songqiang felt that investigating a disgraced star, who had virtually no chance of becoming a Foundation Establishment, wouldn¡¯t pose any problems.


    After a month of thorough investigation, Lai Songqiang was finally able to identify the key person through his own channels, and from his long-term stakeout at the hospital.


    ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s him?¡±


    Through a video call, Li Yuejiao saw the photo Lai Songqiang was holding; it was Chen Mobai, who had been visiting the hospitalized Meng Huang.


    ¡°Absolutely, among the numerous visitors, only when facing him did the star¡¯s face show any sign of pleasure,¡±


    ¡°Moreover, they live close to each other. I saw him flying up from the mountainside and entering the balcony through my shadow.¡±


    ¡°You must be trying to investigate the target of Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art. This chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy seems to be the most suitable candidate.¡±


    As fellow ancient Daoist lineages, they all knew what each other was capable of.


    When Lai Songqiang saw Li Yuejiao¡¯s proposal, he knew what she wanted to investigate. After a brief analysis in Meng Huang¡¯s role, he determined it was Chen Mobai.


    After all, among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and even considering the entire Celestial Sect, the young man was obviously a Great Qi Luck Holder.


    If the Equaling Heaven Art could tie to Chen Mobai, Meng Huang¡¯s chances of Foundation Establishment would greatly increase.


    ¡°If it were truly him, why did Meng Huang fail in her Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Li Yuejiao asked the most critical question. Lai Songqiang shrugged, indicating that he couldn¡¯t explain.


    ¡°How would I know? We don¡¯t emphasize Qi luck in our lineage, do we?¡±


    This rhetorical question left Li Yuejiao speechless. Indeed, even among the ancient Daoist lineages, most did not believe in Qi luck.


    ¡°When I initially chose Meng Huang, I had intentionally guided her towards Chen Mobai, the Great Qi Luck Holder. However, according to the feedback from the Equaling Heaven Art, Meng Huang had tied herself to an average Qi Luck Foundation Establishment cultivator. Where did I go wrong?¡±


    Li Yuejiao was murmuring to herself. The feedback from the Equaling Heaven Art would not be wrong, Chen Mobai was undeniably a Great Qi Luck Holder, so there must be something she didn¡¯t understand.


    Such as, Meng Huang hadn¡¯t chosen Chen Mobai.


    To confirm things, Li Yuejiao specifically asked Lai Songqiang to investigate. But the result he provided was exactly the same as her initial plan.


    The more prosperous the destined partner¡¯s Qi luck, the better the effect of Equaling Heaven Art, Meng Huang, if she wanted to have the best chance of Foundation Establishment, would definitely make every effort to get Chen Mobai.


    With Meng Huang¡¯s conditions, if she wanted to win the heart of the Chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, she would certainly have to offer up her most precious thing.

    Li Yuejiao didn¡¯t care about Meng Huang¡¯s life or death, let alone her success or failure. It did not matter to her.


    However, it was related to her plan of roping Chen Mobai into a trap.


    If Meng Huang were successful in her cultivation, the temptation of breaking through to the Golden Core Level Divine Consciousness by having intercourse with her would definitely lure Chen Mobai into the trap.


    And for Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, once they lose their Yuan Yang, reaching the terrifying realm of the Yuan Yang Ancestor would be impossible.


    Li Yuejiao proudly assumed she had shattered Chen Mobai, the top Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Celestial Sect¡¯s Yuan Yang, with her simple strategy involving the pawn Meng Huang.

 Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: Chapter 412 Turn Around (10k)_6

    Chapter 669: Chapter 412 Turn Around (10k)_6


    However, this perfect plan met all sorts of unforeseen circumstances during its execution.


    The first was that Meng Huang failed her Foundation Establishment. The failure was due to her binding to a cultivator with very ordinary luck.


    But Lai Songqiang¡¯s investigation showed that the target of Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art was actually Chen Mobai.


    This greatly puzzled Li Yuejiao.


    ¡°This is your reward. Remember to keep this matter confidential.¡±


    Though bewildered, she stopped thinking about it. After all, Li Yuejiao felt she had done her best. At least she managed to establish a connection between Meng Huang and Chen Mobai.


    If sparks were to fly between them in the future leading to the loss of the virginity of the first Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Immortal Sect, she could likely gain quite a few resources by claiming credit at the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Thank you for your patronage. Feel free to reach out if you need anything in the future.¡±


    Upon seeing the large sum of Good Deed Points credited to his account, Lai Songqiang could not help but cheer up. He got up, bowed towards Li Yuejiao.


    ¡°If you have the time, keep an eye on these two. I¡¯ll provide new rewards if¡­¡±


    Li Yuejiao wanted to reveal her plan before cutting the video call. Still, thinking that it involved plotting against the leader of one of the four leading Daoist Academies of the Immortal Sect, she decided it would be safer to keep it to herself and did not finish her sentence.


    ¡°What on earth is this woman scheming?¡±


    After the call ended, Lai Songqiang looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s photo on the table and frowned.


    wuxiaworld.site


    If he knew that the investigation might concern the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, he would not have agreed to it.


    But it was too late to back off when he started investigating Chen Mobai. He had put in a lot of effort, after all.


    Luckily, there were no mishaps, and he managed to earn a hefty reward.


    However, Li Yuejiao asked him to monitor Meng Huang and Chen Mobai, something Lai Songqiang firmly decided against.


    If the successors of the ancient Daoist tradition wanted to survive in the Immortal Sect, one key was not to provoke major characters.


    Chen Mobai was hailed as the Deity Form. Although he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator at present, he would at least become a Core Formation master in the future. Undoubtedly, he was a major character for Lai Songqiang.


    Consequently, he had no plans to earn the next stipulated reward.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to these maneuvers of the ancients.


    At this time, he was registering for the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.


    A few days ago, he formally applied to the academy¡¯s administration, saying he wanted to focus on graduation and cultivation. He did not have the time and energy to handle the student council¡¯s affairs. To avoid disruption of the academy¡¯s teaching order, he recommended Zhongli Tianyu to take his place as chief while resigning his position.


    The Dean of Administration was Che Yucheng. After receiving the application, he approved and replied to it.


    He said as Zhongli Tianyu had joined the student council just a year ago, he lacked experience. He could temporarily assume the presidency this year; however, Chen Mobai should remain the public face of Dance Tool Dao Academy until the chief¡¯s position is officially handed over to Zhongli Tianyu next year.


    Usually, the student council president is also the chief, but Che Yucheng cleverly separated the two this time.


    Even though Chen Mobai did not understand why, he knew the teacher meant well and did not complain any further.


    After all, the title of chief was just a formality; it was the president of the student council who had to deal with all kinds of tedious matters.


    Zhongli Tianyu took over, and Chen Mobai¡¯s life became much more relaxed.


    His days were spent in cultivation and watching over the Spirit Rice planted at the beginning of the year in Xiao Nanshan. Even idleness became a frequent occurence.


    Chen Mobai found this leisurely life unsuitable and decided to find something to do.


    So, he chose to take the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.


    When he passed the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, at the recommendation of the three examiners including Zeng Xingfu, he joined the Talisman Maker Association.


    This association owns the most extensive Talisman data bank in the Immortal Sect. Moreover, the head of the association is Rank-5 Talisman Maker, Yu Yi, and it concentrates the essence of Talisman making in the immortal world.


    To put himself under some pressure, after completing the registration, Chen Mobai began to immerse himself in the website forum of the Talisman Maker Association, studying the ten questions for the Rank-3 Talisman test. Whenever he encountered anything he didn¡¯t understand, he would promptly ask the teachers at the academy.


    After all, the Talisman course was one of the major courses at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. As the chief with top-ranking in Talisman, he received more privileges than the average student.


    ¡°Well done. If you had been this diligent about studying, you might have already passed the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.¡±


    After Xu Xiu finished explaining to Chen Mobai, he had a satisfied expression on his face.


    The person who had previously failed Chen Mobai was him. Even though he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had already passed the examination for a Rank-3 Talisman Maker. He was the most attended teacher in the Academy when it comes to fundamental talisman education.


    Seeing Chen Mobai start to study making talismans diligently in his ninth grade, he felt his aged heart comforted.


    ¡°Study hard, ask me anytime if you have any doubts. If I can¡¯t answer, I¡¯ll take you to Director Linghu. He¡¯s interested in you being a genius as well.¡±, he said.


    The director of the Talisman Department was Linghu Yanhui, a Core Formation real person, a Rank-4 Talisman Maker, who was also one of the deputy chairmen of the Talisman Makers Association.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that he also drew attention to himself.


    However, even if he knew, he would not venture in front of this person.


    After all, his real talisman making abilities were average, and facing such a real master of the Tao of Talismans, a few questions would probably reveal that he is not a genius.


    After leaving Xu Xiu¡¯s office, Chen Mobai was planning to take a stroll to Che Yucheng¡¯s side.


    Suddenly, he received a call from Meng Huang.


    ¡°Are you free tonight?¡± she asked.


    Hearing this line, Chen Mobai hesitated in his heart. After telling Meng Huang about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret last time, the two often texted each other, but they were tacitly silent about this matter.


    She suddenly called today, has she reconciled with herself, or is it just a simple exchange of feelings?


    ¡°Sure,¡± Chen Mobai said after thinking about it.


    ¡°Then come tonight. Just come in, I¡¯ll be waiting for you in my bedroom,¡± Meng Huang told him, her breath frantic in between her sentences. It seemed as if uttering those words had required all her strength.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt sure of something.


    But for some reason, his heart was completely calm, and there was no expectancy or excitement as expected.


    It was as natural as water flowing into a channel.


    It seemed that from the beginning, after saying those words to Meng Huang, he had anticipated this day.


    Seeing that it was still early, Chen Mobai went to Che Yucheng¡¯s office for a cup of tea.


    Late evening.


    After arriving at his small wooden house, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a bit of excitement.


    He freshened up and flew to the top of the mountain.


    After landing on the balcony, he found that the lights in the living room and bedroom were off as if Meng Huang was expressing her shyness.


    Chen Mobai slowly stepped into the living room and then walked towards the closed bedroom.


    The door was not locked, he gently twisted it open.


    After entering the bedroom, it was still pitch black, but under his Void Spirit Eye, the slender curve of her charming figure hidden under the pink quilt was easily discerned by him.


    When Chen Mobai approached the bed, Meng Huang was hiding her whole body under the quilt with her hands.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He couldn¡¯t help but grip her fair hand, and in her nervous trembling, he slowly lifted the quilt, revealing Meng Huang¡¯s rosy face.


    In the eye contact, she looked shy, her eyes liquid.


    ¡°You¡­ be gentle¡­¡± she stuttered.


    Finally, at this moment, Chen Mobai felt a surge of emotion in his heart, a curiosity for things he had never tried before.


    He lifted the entire quilt, his gaze went from top to bottom, finally landing on her round and slender fair legs, his eyes slightly red, he patted the crucial part lightly and said, ¡°Turn around.¡±

 Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_1

    Chapter 675: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_1


    ¡°Sister Ma, how about setting up some formations to restrict the movement of these Spirit Beasts within the mountain? This would also save your Spirit Beasts Department disciples a lot of trouble.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai delighted Ma Wuniang.


    Because Spirit Beasts are very fond of Spirit Plants that are rich in spiritual energy, it¡¯s best not to have Spirit Beasts near when planting Spirit Rice. This would help avoid situations where the stalks are eaten by Spirit Beasts attracted by the spiritual energy before they even ripen.


    Setting up formations is a good method indeed, however, it would require help from the Formation Department to create an enclosure.


    Easy Shaoqing, who had yet to leave, was unwilling, as setting up such a restrictive formation over a wide area would require much manpower and resources.


    ¡°After all, this is originally a task for your Spirit Beasts Department, the materials for the formation should be provided by your department, and the arrangement will be done by my people.¡±


    Having already agreed through the vote of the three palaces and twelve departments, Yi Shaoqing obeyed the order of the sect, but still tried to minimize the losses of his own department.


    Upon hearing this, Ma Wuniang immediately objected. The responsibility for the formation is on the Formation Department, not the Spirit Beasts Department.


    ¡°Then you should just move the Spirit Beasts, saving our Formation Department the trouble.¡±


    Seeing that Yi Shaoqing and Ma Wuniang seemed about to argue, Chen Mobai quickly intervened to mediate, stating that he would provide the materials for the formation. He figured that it was fair since he would benefit from the harvest.


    ¡°Since junior brother Chen has said so, I¡¯ll go arrange for manpower.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yi Shaoqing¡¯s face softened. He didn¡¯t dare linger any longer, fearing that more tasks would fall on their Formation Department.


    ¡°Sister Ma, I have a disciple who is practicing the Body Refining Technique and needs a lot of Spirit Beast flesh and blood. I wonder if the task of raising Spirit Beasts on these three Spirit Mountains can be assigned to me.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai wanted to try the Spirit Beasts of Giant Tree Ridge to see if they would help improve spiritual roots. So, he used Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation of the Nine Ren Law Body as an entry point to see if he could take over the husbandry tasks of the Spirit Beasts Department.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the tasks of our Spirit Beasts Department are usually taken up by disciples within our department¡­¡±


    Ma Wuniang was a little hesitant. Raising Spirit Beasts was different from cultivating Spirit Plants. If not handled properly, it could lead to casualties.


    For example, the big nest of mountain cats on Shan Mountain, three of which were at the peak of Rank-1, could potentially kill Qi Practitioners.


    Although Chen Mobai was the peak Foundation Establishment combatant of the Divine Wood Sect, because this has been the rule for a long time, Ma Wuniang couldn¡¯t break it just for him.


    ¡°This is simple, my eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, is still under your Spirit Beasts Department. Why not let him take on the task in his name?¡±


    Ma Wuniang did not remember having a Liu Wenbo in her department, but given Chen Mobai¡¯s stature, he certainly wouldn¡¯t lie about such a thing. Hearing his suggestion, she decisively agreed.


    And with this arrangement, the Spirit Beasts Department would no longer need to be involved in this land transfer.


    Now that the land was given and the beast-rearing task transferred to Liu Wenbo, their department was actually relieved of the burden.


    The only loss was the income from the Spirit Beasts on the three Spirit Mountains at the end of the year, but that was a drop in the bucket and inconsequential to the Spirit Beasts Department.


    Instead, the Formation Department had to be busy because covering the three Spirit Mountains was a large-scale task.


    Although it only required Rank-1 materials, due to its large scale, Chen Mobai still had to pay two thousand Spirit Stones as material fees.


    ¡°This Green Cloud White Fog Formation can be separated and combined. If in the future, Brother Chen wants to include Xiao Nanshan within it, we just need to add a few array plates.¡±


    Yi Shaoqing, from the Formation Department, was somewhat aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s current position in the Divine Wood Sect. Although he himself was also a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, under the current circumstances, he was still trying his best to give face.


    This Green Cloud White Fog Formation included one main formation and two sub formations, which were set up on the three Spirit Mountains given to Chen Mobai.


    The most powerful main formation was placed on Shan Mountain in the middle.


    Since the mountain cats living here were Demonic Beasts, their combat power was fierce. Ordinary Qi Practitioners weren¡¯t their match.


    The beasts on the other two Spirit Mountains were basically common carnivorous animals raised by the Divine Wood Sect.


    The power of the sub formations was enough to restrain them.


    Chen Mobai and Yi Shaoqing chatted in the air, letting Zhuo Ming and the other disciples who came with the Formation Department to set up the Green Cloud White Fog Formation both assist and learn about its activation and control.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yi.¡±


    Although Yi Shaoqing of the Formation Department was low-key, he was a well-known genius in his youth. He had even studied in regions beyond the Eastern Wilderness, and is universally recognized as the most accomplished of the four Rank-3 Array Masters in the sect.


    If it wasn¡¯t for his cultivation level limitation, Yi Shaoqing could set up Rank-4 formations.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen has a bright future. As long as you don¡¯t touch the Mountain Protection Array, I support your actions.¡±


    Yi Shaoqing did not want to feud with Chen Mobai, the peak Foundation Establishment combatant in the sect, so after the decision was made, he immediately mobilized his department¡¯s manpower to cooperate positively and show goodwill.


    Chen Mobai had the same idea, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have willingly paid the Spirit Stones to cover the material costs of the Green Cloud White Fog Formation.


    Both men intent on making friends, they soon hit it off.


    With that, only the Spirit Plants Department remained in opposition from the original four departments.

 Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_2

    Chapter 676: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_2


    Chen Mobai managed to find time to visit Sun Gaochang, the inspector of the Spirit Plant Division. Both belonged to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s lineage, and they communicated frankly.


    ¡°Harvesting thousands of acres of Spirit Fields each year is a tremendous burden on the workforce of the Spirit Plant Division. Furthermore, because the sect is preparing for war, all the Spirit Stones are used in the four major departments of Sword Training, Artifact Refining, Formation, and Body Forging. This year, our Spirit Plant Division budget has also been cut and allocated to them. Shi Fengping is merely using your situation as an excuse to cry poverty to the Sect Leader.¡±


    After hearing Sun Gaochang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why Shi Fengping had such an attitude.


    If he did cultivate a thousand acres of Spirit Fields, and harvested two rounds of Fire Spirit Rice each year, the Spirit Plant Division would need to spend thirty thousand Spirit Stones even at market price.


    The annual budget of the Spirit Plant Division was merely one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and contributions, which this year is additionally cut by ten thousand each. If they were to spend an additional thirty thousand Spirit Stones on his end, it really would put them in a strain.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his understanding.


    At this point, Sun Gaochang on the opposite side showed hesitation. Considering that Chen Mobai was already a Town Guard of Jian Country and certainly one of the high-ranking officials of the Twelve Divisions and Three Halls in the future, he decided to reveal some of the unspoken internal rules.


    ¡°Chen, although I¡¯m the inspector of the Spirit Plant division, most of the authority within the department rests with Shi Fengping and Jin Shanping.¡±


    ¡°Typically, five percent of the budget allocated for the division will end up in our hands through various methods.¡±


    ¡°The release of your thirty thousand Spirit Stones equates to a loss of thousands of Spirit Stones for them, hence the vehement opposition.¡±


    This was an unwritten rule among higher-ups in the Divine Wood Sect; it was the same for all twelve divisions and three halls. These norms were even more extreme when the sect was first established, and it was only after the position of inspector was added that they were controlled at around five percent.


    Therefore, the more Spirit Rice Chen Mobai planted, the more the trio of Foundation Establishment from Spirit Plant Division would lose.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The deputy director of the Spirit Plant Division, Jin Shanping, was very close to E Yun. Chen Mobai often had drinks with him at E Yun¡¯s mansion during holidays and festivals and both of them had quite a friendly relationship.


    However, on this matter, he remained silent and sided with Shi Fengping; it turned out to be because Chen Mobai had taken a slice of their cake.


    What Sun Gaochang said today was indeed reminding Chen Mobai that he too had lost quite a bit of Spirit Stones because of this matter.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Sun.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood immediately after grasping the implications of Sun Gaochang¡¯s words. He intended to meet Shi Fengping and Jin Shanping to see if there was a good solution to this problem.


    However, to his surprise, he was turned away at the door.


    Both of them excused themselves saying they were in retreat due to a breakthrough in their cultivation level.


    To this, Chen Mobai responded with a wry smile. Regardless of whether they were actually in retreat, he was certainly going to remember this incident.


    He thought about the advanced experiences from the Immortal Gate, and in light of the current circumstances of the sect, came up with a plan to bypass the Spirit Plant Division and went straight to Shenmu Hall to find Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°That seems like a good solution.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal regarding alleviating the burden on the Spirit Plant Division, Chu Zuoshu thought it over carefully and found it very appropriate.


    However, because this matter pertained to the channels of sect contributions, he could not make a decision on his own.


    ¡°Anyway, there are still a few months left before your Fire Spirit Rice matures. I will present your plan at the next meeting of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, and invite you to attend at that time.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took good care of Chen Mobai, who was his direct disciple. Judging by today¡¯s situation, if it came to a vote, it was very likely that his proposal would pass.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader.¡±


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    The Formation Division was still setting up the Green Cloud White Fog Formation. Yi Shaoqing had already left, leaving behind Guan Xiaolong, the true disciple of the Formation Division, and Chen Mobai¡¯s two disciples.


    Guan Xiaolong seemed to be quite interested in the enchantingly beautiful Luo Yixuan and took this opportunity to frequently show attentiveness towards her.


    Although Luo Yixuan was repulsed, she couldn¡¯t be rude as they were there to help.


    Zhuo Ming also noticed this and subsequently had Luo Yixuan take care of things at Xiao Nanshan while she handled the Formation Division matters with Guan Xiaolong.


    After the formation was set up, Guan Xiaolong unhappily left.


    ¡°These new spiritual lands ¨C Dishi Mountain and Jishan Mountain terraces need normal cultivation, while just the foot of Shan Mountain will suffice.¡±

    After returning, Chen Mobai led his two disciples to survey the five hundred acres of new spiritual land. They stood in mid-air guided by a ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡¯ pointing at the three spiritual mountains below.


    Shan Mountain was home to a group of ferocious and brave Monster Mountain Civet Cats. If their territory was limited, they could likely engage in internecine slaughter, so the formation here covered almost the entire mountain, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    ¡°On the tops of Shan Mountain and Jishan Mountain, there is a Qingyang Spirit Tree. As one of the nodes for the sect¡¯s Large Formation, a small formation has also been set up for protection. Do not try to break in forcibly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan nodded in agreement.


    ¡°By the way, I heard from Sister Ma that these Mountain Civet Cats like to bare their fangs and claws. Zhuo Ming, didn¡¯t you always think your magic duel skills were lacking? Once you¡¯ve mastered your nine-storey Law Body, you can come into the mountains to practice with these creatures.¡±

 Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_3

    Chapter 677: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_3


    Last year, Zhuo Ming was eliminated in the fourth round of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s annual competition. Chen Mobai knew this wasn¡¯t a reflection of her true abilities and had been thinking about how to improve her magic duel skills ever since.


    Conveniently, this group of Mountain Civet Cats were also demonic beasts, with three of them at the top level of Rank-1, making excellent sparring partners.


    Zhuo Ming had both the Five Element Umbrella and the Purple Fire Sword Talisman for protection, so her safety was guaranteed.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    As the three of them spoke, they landed on Jishan Mountain.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense surged out, quickly locating the Spirit Chickens here. As expected, each chicken had three heads, six eyes, six legs, and six wings, and they were all quite plump.


    ¡°Today, your teacher will show you some cooking skills.¡±


    Ever since Chen Mobai heard about these Spirit Chickens, he had been looking forward to this moment. With so many chicken legs and wings¡­


    He took hold of two chickens, and with a pointer, a pit appeared on the ground.


    At this point, Zhuo Ming had already rolled up her sleeves, cleanly and swiftly helping to slaughter the chickens.


    Luo Yixuan, despite her oppressive upbringing, was still a child of a noble house and had never slaughtered a chicken before.


    So she could only watch from the sidelines.


    Chen Mobai chopped down a Red Sun Spiritual Wood tree and, with a chant, Five Elements Sword Light flickered, splitting the firewood neatly, each piece as if it had been measured with a ruler.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The scene reminded Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming of the time when they had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, chopping logs in Bud Hall.


    At that time, Chen Mobai had made quite a bit of Spirit Stone profit from the Red Sun Spiritual Wood.


    Back then, neither of them could have imagined that they would end up becoming his disciples.


    However, if they could turn back time, they would pledge allegiance to him without hesitation.


    By this point, Chen Mobai had whittled a skewer and began to thread the spitted chicken legs and wings that Zhuo Ming had prepared onto it, roasting them over the crackling fire.


    He took out a tray of seasonings he had bought from a fairy market from his bag. Before long, the two disciples had oily mouths from the delicious chicken.


    After consuming all the chicken legs and wings, the two girls were still somewhat unsatisfied, contemplating catching a couple more chickens.


    ¡°Master, your cooking is the best I¡¯ve ever tasted,¡± Luo Yixuan said a bit shyly as she wiped away the oil from the corners of her mouth with a kerchief.


    ¡°The key is the seasoning,¡± Chen Mobai replied. As he spoke, he took out his Spirit-Testing Instrument to examine his Spirit Root Attributes. Seeing no change, he concluded that the Spirit Chickens were of no use.


    ¡°From now on, we can use the remains of the rice to feed these Spirit Chickens. Ming, in order to cultivate your Law Body, besides Spirit Rice, the flesh of spiritual beasts is also essential. I¡¯m going to give you this mountain, how many Spirit Chickens you can eat depends on you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately knelt, showing her gratitude with a grand bow.


    ¡°No need to be so formal, let¡¯s check out the other two mountains next.¡±


    After gesturing for Zhuo Ming to rise, Chen Mobai gathered the two, heading to Dishi Mountain and Shan Mountain.


    The catfish from Dishi Mountain could serve both as food and medicine. Its taste after being cooked was acceptable, but it was of no use for the Spirit Root.


    Finally, at Shan Mountain, the trio landed only to be met by the stares of a dozen pairs of oily green eyes, belonging to fierce Mountain Civet Cats watching them from all sides.


    However, with a cold snort, Chen Mobai displayed his Foundation Establishment aura, causing all the Mountain Civet Cats to disappear in an instant.


    Only the one with the strongest aura was left. Its body was frozen by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense and was then pulled over to him from a distance.


    ¡°Ming, you should establish a contract with it. It will offer more protection while you practice magic duels,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming nodded and then established a Blood Curse Contract on the spot.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, your cat is so pretty,¡± said Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai looked at the Mountain Civet Cat, now standing by Zhuo Ming¡¯s foot after the contract, with its pitch-black and gray patterns, round head, and large tail. It was a very common Mountain Civet Cat.


    Compared to the white cat he kept in the student council, it was much less attractive.


    The only notable feature was its shimmering green eyes, which were as bright as emeralds.


    ¡°Mountain Civet Cats are said to have the diluted bloodline of the Earth Escape Divine Power. The ancestors of the group on this mountain once achieved Rank-2. Ming, you can spend some effort on this little cat when you have time,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    During his time in Shenmu Hall, Ma Wuniang had told him a lot about the three Spirit Mountains. The Mountain Civet Cat was one of the highlights. He was now advising Zhuo Ming with the original words.


    Within the Giant Tree Ridge, there are many spiritual beasts that can advance to Rank-2. The Mountain Civet Cats are a favorite among earth-attribute cultivators. Not only are they easy to keep, but they¡¯re also strong with great speed, increasing their survival rates when exploring dangerous areas.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A Mountain Civet Cat that has advanced to Rank-2 awakens the Earth Escape Divine Power. Then, when creating underground Cave Dwellings or mining, it would be extremely useful.


    Zhuo Ming was also lucky. If the disciples of the Beast Department wanted to catch a Mountain Civet Cat to be their own spirit beast, they would have to go through many difficulties, as they often had to prepare to face an entire den of them.


    Even with mentors at the Foundation Establishment stage, they would still let their disciples catch their own Mount Civet Cats, to train and improve them.


    This is why many Qi Cultivation disciples could only catch ordinary Rank-1 Mountain Civet Cats. For a disciple like Zhuo Ming who got a top-level Rank-1 beast equivalent to a Qi Cultivation Perfection level spirit beast, it was thanks to having a good teacher like Chen Mobai.


    After visiting the three Spirit Mountains, Chen Mobai roughly discussed his plans for the thousand-acre Spirit Field with his two disciples.

 Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_4

    Chapter 678: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_4


    The cultivation puppets used for land reclamation could be used here again, but it would necessitate the relocation of a portion of the mortal population.


    However, both of his apprentices were capable of handling these matters. They had gained valuable experience last year and even though there were more spirit fields to tend to this year, they both assured him they would manage it properly.


    Over time, Chen Mobai¡¯s affection for his three apprentices in the Eastern Wilderness grew.


    They were respectful and dutiful, performing all tasks assigned to them with utmost dedication.


    No such disciples could be found in the Immortal Sect.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai visited Divine Wood City. He acquired various kinds of spirit beast meat from Giant Tree Ridge through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, hoping to further enhance his Spirit Root Attributes.


    Unfortunately, after only tasting seven or eight kinds, he had to return to the Immortal Sect.


    It was because Meng Huang had ended her retreat.


    She slightly hesitated as she invited him over to visit.


    They were now so close, they could understand each other¡¯s intent instantly. Upon hearing her invitation, Chen Mobai had already guessed the purpose of the visit.


    It must be that she still had not mastered the Marginal Law during her seclusion and she wanted his guidance again, even though it would mean exhausting work for him.


    As for this, Chen Mobai willingly agreed to go.


    As expected, after a candlelit dinner on the balcony, a shy Meng Huang sat down next to him and conveyed her intention.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Feeling indebted to her, Chen Mobai did not refuse and worked tirelessly as she desired of him.


    After several days of hard work, Meng Huang looked glowing. There was a sudden realization during one of the discussions on the living room couch. She seemed enlightened and her eyes sparkled.


    ¡°I will definitely grasp it this time.¡±


    With a wealth of practice, Meng Huang¡¯s endurance had greatly increased. With Chen Mobai¡¯s cooperation, she stubbornly endured many sessions from the beginning to end.


    After this impeccably executed practice session, she confidently isolated herself for retreat again.


    Having fulfilled his role as a helper, Chen Mobai knew he should not disrupt her at this critical moment, so he left the hilltop villa quietly.


    After resting for two days, realizing he hadn¡¯t visited the Daoist Academy for a while, he decided to use the Short Teleportation Talisman, which he hadn¡¯t used for a long time.


    He used to go to school with Meng Huang every day, this talisman had been buried at the bottom of his storage bag and was almost lost.


    Upon reaching the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai naturally went to see Che Yucheng first.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword hasn¡¯t chosen its master yet, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Che Yucheng could guess what Chen Mobai wanted to ask as soon as he saw Chen Mobai carrying a fruit basket, so he spoke in advance.


    ¡°Teacher, as you see, I just came to visit you.¡±


    Chen Mobai, looking completely unaffected, put down the fruit basket and started to brew tea for Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Oh, did you know that the Nature Studies Academy suddenly changed their representative for the last round?¡±


    After hearing this news from Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was completely taken aback.


    Aside from him, those who were guaranteed to advance to the last round consisted of real people in the Core Formation stage from the Nature Studies Academy, Five Thunder Studies Academy, and Mountain and Sea Academy.


    The real person from the Nature Studies Academy, named Yu Shiling, was perceived as a filler candidate. However, since they have replaced her now, it definitely signifies that the newcomer potentially has a higher chance of gaining the approval of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face paled slightly.


    A curveball indeed.


    ¡°Teacher, have some tea.¡±


    Even so, Chen Mobai soon composed himself. No matter how competent the cultivator chosen by the Nature Studies Academy could be, they were unlikely to be closer to the Purple Electric Sword than both the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Academy or the Five Thunder Academy.


    The final outcome still relied on the last round, and would depend on their performances.


    ¡°One of the best things about you is that even while being brave and perseverant, you remain undisturbed by honor or disgrace and maintain a calm mindset.¡±


    Taking the hot tea from Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng nodded appreciatively. It was because of this very quality that he had accepted Chen Mobai as his disciple.


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re being too kind.¡±


    Chen Mobai only smiled at this. He did desire the Purple Electric Sword, but even if he couldn¡¯t obtain it, his reaction would merely be disappointment, not mental unbalance.


    After all, he had an entire world of immortal cultivation that was broader than the Earth Origin Star. Given enough time to develop, he believed he would eventually possess an artifact on par with the Rank-4 Purple Electric Sword.


    The new representative from the Nature Studies Academy for Core Formation was Yan Qiongzhi.¡±


    After finishing his cup of tea, Che Yucheng decided not to keep Chen Mobai in suspense any longer and revealed the name he would be only too familiar with.


    ¡°She managed to achieve Core Formation, too?¡±


    Chen Mobai recalls his interaction at Jumang Daoist Academy with Yan Qiongzhi in Wen Renxue¡¯s pavilion.


    Although that was their second meeting, it was the first time they had engaged in meaningful conversation.


    At that time, she was fearful about not being able to complete her Core Formation, thinking she might have to ask Chen Mobai for Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Little did he know that just over a year later, Yan Qiongzhi had managed to achieve Core Formation.


    Undeniably, she was a genius who was even named alongside Lan Haitian, having established her own Gold Core Domain during the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Her Core Formation was inevitable.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke casually, the majority of geniuses who established a Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment could successfully reach Core Formation in the history of the Immortal Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hence, both Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were already considered as half-real persons of the Core Formation stage right after they established their Gold Core Domains.


    And history did prove this point.


    Once these two obtained Core Formation materials, they both succeeded on their first attempt, true to their reputation of the twin jewels of immortality.


    ¡°Teacher, does a Gold Core Domain also aid Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of something. He was now only one Pure Yang Scroll away from reaching Perfection in the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, after which he could commence preparation for Core Formation.

 Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: Chapter 414 Hard Work (8k)_5

    Chapter 679: Chapter 414 Hard Work (8k)_5


    With enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it should probably take around six to seven years.


    If the Gold Core Domain will aid in the Core Formation, after getting the Purple Electric Sword, he thought he would have to seriously start considering this matter.


    ¡°On average, in the history of the immortal ways, a genius who enters the Foundation Building realm and creates a Gold Core Domain emerges every hundred years, but because the sample is too small, it¡¯s not representative,¡±


    ¡°But to be able to achieve that denotes such a one as a genius amongst geniuses.¡±


    ¡°These people who successfully form the core are generally regarded as a given,¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai an answer that wasn¡¯t exactly an answer.


    The formation of the Core and the Gold Core Domain have no absolute relationship, yet those who can do so signify that in some aspect either their Spiritual Power or Divine Sense has already surpassed the Foundation Building Level.


    These people should find success naturally.


    After finishing tea at Che Yucheng¡¯s, Chen Mobai toured the Student Council.


    After greeting the acquaintances in the lobby like Lu Tiansuan and Zhuang Jialan, he walked into his former office.


    Zhongli Tianyu was diligently at work, but he sat in the chair with one leg propped up, reading a comic book.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already taken care of everything.¡±


    When he saw Chen Mobai enter, Zhongli Tianyu flippantly glanced at him, continuing to stretch and flip through his comic book.


    wuxiaworld.site Novts`0.co


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to check on you. I just came to see you.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, the white cat sunbathing on the windowsill hopped into his lap.


    Initially, when Hua Zijing graduated, Chen Mobai wanted to gift her the white cat since he had asked for it originally from the True Spiritual Academy to make her happy.


    Unfortunately, Hua Zijing declined, believing it would be better left at the Student Council and that after graduation, being busy with perfecting her Foundation Building and finding Gold Core spiritual material, she might not have the time to take good care of it.


    Thus, the white cat became a member of the Student Council.


    Chen Mobai even contemplated that once his batch graduated, this cat would become the member with the longest tenure in the Student Council, and that juniors might have to greet it when they see it.


    ¡°Boring.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu rolled his eyes at Chen Mobai, turned his chair around, and continued reading his comic with his back to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You should be able to reach the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment before graduation. When do you plan to apply for the use of the Domain Gate to create the Gold Core Domain?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind his attitude as this guy was just being himself.


    He took a seat on the couch by the window, drank the hot tea brought by Zhuang Jialan, petted the soft fur of the cat while also asking about the Gold Core Domain matters.


    ¡°Reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment is just the entry requirement. If one wants to create a Gold Core Domain, aside from having abundant spiritual power, one also needs to have a powerful Divine Sense and a sturdy physique. Even if all these three factors reach the apex of the Foundation Establishment level, success still depends on luck.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, as a descendant of the Divinity Transformation aristocratic family, naturally knew more than Chen Mobai.


    As an iconic method in the immortal ways, if one could successfully create a Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment, then one is generally regarded as a future genuine Core Formation immortal.


    If Zhongli Tianyu wants to attempt it, other than spiritual power and Divine Sense, he should best train his Dragon-horse Aspect to exceed the Foundation Establishment level. Only then would he have a better chance.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai asked more detailed questions.


    However, Zhongli Tianyu only knew so much. In his family, only one genius who achieved this left behind these parts of the message.


    ¡°[Only without defects in spirit, can one grasp the Power of Void, to Shatter the True Void with the help of Domain Gate, to open up a Domain.]¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded thoughtfully.


    ¡°There must be more resources about this in the immortal ways. You¡¯re good friends with Lan Haitian, right? Just ask him directly, this successful person, should do it.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s suggestion reminded Chen Mobai. Although there are few examples of creating a Gold Core Domain at the Foundation Building Realm, there are indeed two people in this era.


    And they have both successfully formed their Gold Core, entering the upper echelons of the immortal ways.


    If he could receive their personal explanations, when it¡¯s time for him to attempt, he will surely have more confidence.


    He wanted to call Lan Haitian to ask, but Chen Mobai felt it was a bit presumptuous.


    After all, he rejected joining the Heaven Menders group in the past, so their relationship was just average.


    However, the matter of the Gold Core Domain was important, so Chen Mobai thickened his skin, composed a message, and sent it over.


    He hoped Lan Haitian would respond when he had the time.


    By the way, during Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s trial to wield the Purple Electric Sword, could he also take this opportunity to consult her about it?


    After all, she was Yan Bingxuan¡¯s teacher and loved one, and during their time in Jumang Daoist Academy, they had quite a good time talking.


    After he noted this in his mind and checked his phone again without any reply from Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai decided to leave the Council.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai proposed to Zhongli Tianyu to go to Little Red Sky to practice their Magic Duel skills.


    There was a saying, ¡®A good scab forgets about the pain.¡¯


    Zhongli Tianyu put down the comic book in his hands right away. He claimed that he had a deeper understanding of the Eight Diagram Heavenly Thunder in these past few months and would undoubtedly prevent Sword Sha from breaking through his defense this time.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The two of them didn¡¯t ask others to watch. They just secretly created a private room and battled for three rounds.


    After the battles, Zhongli Tianyu laid on the sofa, yelling and feeling his body heating up.


    Chen Mobai poured him a cup of tea, watched him recover, then left the Council satisfied.


    After staying half a month more in the Daoist Academy, he was again shyly summoned by Meng Huang.


    Helpless because of this, Chen Mobai had to fly up again to continue the effort.

 Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_1

    Chapter 680: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_1


    ¡°Next, let¡¯s have Brother Chen explain this proposal to everyone.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, during the routine Sect meeting, Chu Zuoshu made this sudden remark after the previous matters were discussed.


    Everyone from the three halls and twelve divisions turned their attention to Chen Mobai, who was standing next him.


    ¡°Good day, fellow practitioners, as you may know, I have planted some Spirit Rice, but the amount is a bit too large for the Spirit Plant Division to harvest every year.¡±


    ¡°Also, if the Spirit Plant Division were to purchase this Spirit Rice according to sect requirements, it would cost an amazing amount of Spirit Stones. Therefore, I propose that we separate the Spirit Rice matter from the Spirit Plant Division entirely and establish a new Spirit Rice Division to manage it.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the new Spirit Rice Division would also fall under Reward Virtue Hall, just like the Spirit Plant Division.¡±


    After Chen Mobai briefly outlined his proposal, Shi Fengping from the Spirit Plant Division immediately began to oppose it.


    ¡°Absolutely not! Sect Leader, the three halls and twelve divisions are traditions of our forefathers. We can¡¯t just add a new division over such a trivial matter. If we have too many Spirit Chickens to raise one day, do we establish a Spirit Chicken Division too?¡±


    The annual cultivation and harvest of Spirit Rice, although not too lucrative and even sometimes requiring subsidies, is still one of the privileges of the Spirit Plant Division.


    In addition, Spirit Rice is a vital spiritual object for Body Cultivation. Every year, the Spirit Plant Division can trade Spirit Rice for a considerable amount of Spirit Stones from the Body Forging Division. The higher-ups of the Spirit Plant Division are also profiting from this transaction and naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of it.


    ¡°Sect Leader, Brother Shi is absolutely right, we need to be cautious when considering the establishment of a new division.¡±


    The majority seemed to agree with Shi Fengping, voicing their objections one after another.


    ¡°However, Brother Chen¡¯s thousand mu of Spirit Rice has indeed become a burden on the Spirit Plant Division. I¡¯ve heard that Fire Spirit Rice has matured in patches and is ready for harvest, but the Spirit Plant Division has only deployed a small team to handle it. This could cause a delay.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    At this moment, Zeng Woyou from the Alchemy Division spoke up.


    ¡°Unfortunately, our Spirit Plant Division¡¯s disciples are scattered around to monitor thousands of mu of medicinal fields in Giant Tree Ridge and Eastern Wilderness, making it impossible to split our workforce. But I have been trying to dispatch disciples within the Spirit Plant Division to complete the harvest before the Spirit Rice falls.¡±


    Shi Fengping apologised, admitting fault after giving his explanation since this was indeed an error on their part as the Spirit Plant Division.


    ¡°If the Spirit Rice falls and is tainted by earthly qi, it will lose its effectiveness and become akin to normal rice. If the Spirit Plant Division is unable to handle this, I believe the sect needs to devise a foolproof method.¡±


    Lu Yi from the Discipline Department also spoke up, favouring Chen Mobai with his remarks. If the Spirit Plant Division could not manage, they should not cling to their authority.


    ¡°I am also trying my best. If anyone has good solutions, feel free to suggest.¡±


    Shi Fengping handled the situation comfortably in front of everyone. They knew the Spirit Plant Division had the most disciples, and therefore the most fields to manage. They didn¡¯t feel it was right to blame Shi Fengping.


    ¡°If we can¡¯t establish another division, why not let me sell the Spirit Rice? I can deal with the sale of the Spirit Rice from my thousand mu of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew his initial proposal would certainly not be approved, so his current statement was his main aim.


    ¡°Sell the Spirit Rice? Brother Chen, you can open a shop yourself. Why would you need the sect to permit it?¡±


    Shi Fengping seemed a little confused. However, it would certainly be a good thing for their division if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t let the Spirit Plant Division purchase his thousand mu of Spirit Fields.


    ¡°What I¡¯m saying is, allowing the Sect Disciple to exchange their contribution points for Spirit Rice in my place.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled, revealing his real intention ¨C he wanted a permit to accept sect contribution as payment.


    Although the economic system in the Eastern Wilderness is basic, everyone understands that the sect¡¯s contribution points are tied to Spirit Stones, with one contribution point equal to one lower-grade Spirit Stone.


    To ensure stable contribution points, only three halls and twelve divisions within the Divine Wood Sect can offer disciple contributions under their regulations.


    And if one wants to trade with contribution points, only a select few places, such as the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Spirit Stone Shop, and Book Pavilion, are allowed to do so.


    If Chen Mobai were granted the permit to trade contribution points, he believed that he could establish a small Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    In the Immortal Sect, a trading license is challenging to obtain. Besides the officials, only the four Daoist Academies and a handful of large corporations have it.


    Although intuitively Shi Fengping felt that it might not be suitable to grant Chen Mobai the permit to trade in sect contributions, he couldn¡¯t pinpoint the problem due to his limited understanding.


    Moreover, by ridding themselves of the burden of managing the thousand mu of Spirit Fields, it would be advantageous for the Spirit Plant Division, both emotionally and logically.


    So after a moment of contemplation, he chose not to oppose Chen Mobai, and thus remained silent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the end, eight votes were in favor, and four abstained.


    After the votes from the twelve divisions were returned, there was no need for the three main halls to comment.


    Chen Mobai had the full support of the three main halls, so Chu Zuoshu approved Chen Mobai¡¯s request to trade Spirit Rice for sect contributions.


    Upon leaving the Shenmu Hall, Shi Fengping returned to the Spirit Plant Division and shared this news with Jin Shanping.


    However, after deliberation, they still couldn¡¯t understand the implications of this matter.

 Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_2

    Chapter 681: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_2


    ¡°Let it be, we¡¯re not at a loss. This gives us just the right justification to recall the disciples from the Spirit Plant Department. From this day forward, he can handle the thousand-mu Spirit Field on his own,¡±


    In the end, Shi Fengping clapped his hands, signaling the end of the Spirit Rice harvesting mission for the disciples dispatched to Xiao Nanshan from the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡­


    Above the vast Spirit Field on Court Mountain, Zhuo Ming was steering a harvesting machine in the shape of a carriage that Chen Mobai had ordered from the Puppet Department, managing to harvest hundreds of mu of Spirit Rice in just one day.


    ¡°Master, this Puppet Harvester is really easy to use.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, watching Zhuo Ming¡¯s efficiency, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe.


    ¡°Once these Spirit Rice grains have been hulled, leave a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Let them know that one sect contribution point can be exchanged for 11 catties.¡±


    In the Divine Wood City Market, the price of Spirit Rice is ten catties for one lower-grade Spirit Stone.


    Chen Mobai was offering a ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯ scheme, and he also allowed the exchange to be done using sect contribution points.


    Generally speaking, the disciples of Divine Wood Sect can choose to receive either sect contributions or Spirit Stones when they complete tasks assigned by their departments or the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    Many of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples choose sect contributions, as many cultivation-promoting pills in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion require contribution points for exchange.


    To prevent the excessive proliferation of contribution points, the Divine Wood Sect only allows disciples to exchange them for Spirit Stones in the Spirit Stone Shop, and not the other way round.


    However, this is the official rule. Unofficially, once the price is agreed upon, it¡¯s allowed to transfer one¡¯s own contribution points to someone else under the witness of the Spirit Stone Shop.


    wuxiaworld.site


    As a result, within the sect, the value of contribution points is slightly more precious than Spirit Stones. However, under the management of the sect, this range remains very stable.


    It¡¯s only every ten years, when Foundation Building Pills can be exchanged, that an extraordinary increase occurs.


    That¡¯s because many True Disciples can¡¯t come up with ten thousand sect contribution points on their own, and at that time they need to borrow or buy them, which causes prices to inflate significantly.


    Spirit Rice is not suitable for long-term storage, so Chen Mobai has been considering how to sell his Fire Spirit Rice since the first half of the year.


    ¡®Buy ten get one free¡¯ is a common promo seen in the Immortal Sects. He¡¯ll try this out initially, and if it still doesn¡¯t sell, he will attempt to offer a ¡®buy ten get two free¡¯, or ¡®get three free¡¯, or even consider bundling some gifts.


    The focus right now is to occupy the market.


    The Spirit Field here is free, the labor is almost free, and the only costs are the investment in seeding and fertilizing. But for Chen Mobai, it¡¯s all a guaranteed profit.


    As Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan started harvesting the Spirit Rice in full swing, Chen Mobai visited the Puppet Department again. He hired Li Yixian and a group of Qi Cultivation Disciples with Green Yang Spiritual Wood as payment, and crafted some Spirit Rice hulling machines again.


    After the item was made, everyone admired his ingenious idea.


    With this machine, even a mortal could easily hull several tons of rice in a day.


    Meanwhile, the first customer to visit Chen Mobai, who had just posted a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, was surprisingly Kou Canzhi, the Head of the Body Cultivation Department.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I hope you don¡¯t mind my intrusion.¡±


    Kou Canzhi seemed to come with good intentions, even bringing two catties of excellent black pig meat.


    This was premium meat raised on the Giant Tree Ridge. The pig was free-range for three years before slaughtering. The meat was firm and rich in Spiritual Energy, a favorite of the body cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Brother Kou, have a tea.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit uncertain about Kou Canzhi¡¯s intentions. After personally brewing him a cup of tea, he waited for him to continue speaking.


    ¡°Brother Chen, how about selling all your thousand mu of Spirit Rice to our Body Cultivation Department?¡±


    ¡°If Brother Kou wants it, it¡¯d be a big help to me, but won¡¯t it be too much?¡±


    Chen Mobai was absolutely delighted with the business proposition offered right at his doorstep. However, his thousand mu of Spirit Field yielded a total of 150,000 catties of Spirit Rice, which might be too much for one Body Cultivation Department to handle.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it seems you don¡¯t fully understand our Body Cultivation Department. We have a total of five hundred disciples, of which one hundred are core disciples. They need to consume more than three catties of Spirit Rice each day, which is about one dan every month. They alone would consume nearly all of your 1500 dan Spirit Rice.¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, 100 catties is counted as one dan. The one hundred core disciples of the Body Cultivation Department could consume 1200 dan a year, that is, 120,000 catties of Spirit Rice.


    There were also around four hundred regular disciples in the sect, those with poor Spiritual Root Talent and no resources to learn alchemy or any of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal skills. To establish a foothold within the Divine Wood Sect, they had joined the Body Cultivation department, who accepted anyone willing to join.


    These disciples were also taught the basic Body Training Techniques. Although the monthly Spirit Stones they received for cultivation were barely enough, they occasionally bought some Spiritual Rice and Meat and some pills that boosted blood and energy.


    If these four hundred disciples were taken into account, indeed, the Body Cultivation department could consume the 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice sold by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Kou, would you like to pay in Spirit Stones or contribution points?¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally pleased to sell all his Spirit Rice at once and asked the essential question.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I will pay you in contribution points of our sect.¡±


    Kou Canzhi was an easy-going person. After negotiating the deal, he signed a contract with Chen Mobai and transferred 5000 points from the account of the Body Cultivation department directly to Chen Mobai as a deposit.


    This was a down payment. The remaining 10,000 points would be paid once the Fire Spirit Rice reached the Body Cultivation department.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I heard from the disciples this morning that you put up a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, stating that regular disciples could exchange 11 jin of Spirit Rice at your South Mountain Shop for 1 contribution point. By purchasing the rice at market price, I helped you earn more than a thousand Spirit Stones.¡±


    Before leaving, Kou Canzhi said something with suggestive implications.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite understand his meaning and just showed him out.


    Watching Kou Canzhi leave, Chen Mobai felt that the head of the Body Cultivation department seemed a bit unhappy.


    In the evening, Chen Mobai remembered the words Sun Gaochang once told him and suddenly understood.


    ¡°He wants a kickback.¡±


    Once he understood, Chen Mobai felt both irritated and amused. This situation was quite normal even in Immortal Cultivation sects.


    The Body Cultivation department was indeed a significant customer that should be catered to.


    However, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t do it himself, so he called Luo Yixuan and gave her a gift worth a thousand Spirit Stones, asking her to deliver it to Kou Canzhi.


    When Luo Yixuan returned, she reported that Kou Canzhi was very pleased and would also purchase the 1500 stones of Spirit Rice harvested next year from their Body Cultivation department.


    They could not consume the batch of Spirit Rice maturing at the end of the year, so Chen Mobai needed to figure something out himself.


    The Body Cultivation department with five hundred disciples could consume 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice per year.


    The rest of the demand needed to be filled by the other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Although the South Mountain Shop listed the price at 1 contribution point for 11 jin, there were very few people coming to buy or exchange.


    The cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were used to buying pills with Spirit Stones to increase their cultivation level when they had some. When hungry, they would use Fasting Pills or ordinary food to satisfy their hunger. Only the Body Cultivation disciples, who had a necessary demand, would eat Spirit Rice every meal.


    ¡°Master, do we need to plant the next round of Fire Spirit Rice seedlings?¡±


    With Liu Wenbo absent, Luo Yixuan took over the management of the South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City. Seeing the poor exchange rate for the Spirit Rice these days, she was worried.


    ¡°Keep planting. If we can¡¯t sell it, we¡¯ll brew it all into wine.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t worried at all. He had many successful marketing examples from the Immortal Cultivation realms in mind and already knew how to solve the Spirit Rice sales issue.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan naturally obeyed.

    After selling all the mature Fire Spirit Rice from this season to the Body Cultivation department, Chen Mobai received the remaining 10,000 contribution points. After accepting the gift, Kou Canzhi naturally paid willingly.


    Watching his two disciples and the normal person control the Puppet to complete the planting in the thousand-acre Spirit Field, Chen Mobai originally wanted to share his successful Foundation Establishment experience with Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and other friends.


    Unexpectedly, he received surprising news from the Immortal Cultivation realm.


    Twelve unique Sword Cultivation geniuses caused a resonance with the Purple Electric Sword during the selection phase.


    What did this mean? Does it mean the identity he had painstakingly maintained was not worth much?

 Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_1

    Chapter 682: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_1


    After all, the Purple Electric Sword is a Rank-4 sword. If Chen Mobai could get his hands on it, he would have little to fear in the Eastern Wasteland.


    In the Eastern Wasteland, the highest cultivation realm was only that of the Gold Core. With the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, Chen Mobai felt that even if he was defeated, he could use the sword to buy some time to retreat with the Turtle Treasure.


    So when he heard the news, he excused himself with an excuse of enlightenment and returned to Xiao Nanshan for solitude.


    ¡°Master, have some tea.¡±


    After returning to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai immediately went to see Che Yucheng, making him tea as usual.


    ¡°This situation is a bit strange.¡±


    Even Che Yucheng, who always had good intel, was somewhat puzzled about the Purple Electric Sword resonating with twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s strange about it? Do you mean that Shanhai Xuegong doesn¡¯t want to give up the Purple Electric Sword, so they constructed this doubt?¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword was still in the hands of Shanhai Xuegong, so they were in charge of selecting its master.


    Even if there were a large number of cultivators in the Immortal Sect, it was impossible to produce twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses in just one year.


    Know that in the past ten years, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had only produced a Chen Mobai and a half-developed Zha Jianbai.


    ¡°This matter was approved by several elders. Shanhai Xuegong doesn¡¯t have the guts to deceive.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head. The issue of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was clear to all the Gold Core realm cultivators in the Immortal Sect, even if it seemed unclear to the public.


    wuxiaworld.site


    If someone dared to cheat here, they would have to prepare to be under the scrutiny of the Hall Master, the supreme overseer of the Immortal Sect¡¯s laws.


    ¡°The principal should know about it, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated and asked.


    ¡°I have asked him, but the principal insists that I should not worry or probe too much into it; I should just stay quiet.¡±


    Che Yucheng was considerate towards Chen Mobai. Knowing his interest in the Purple Electric Sword, he promptly messaged Cheng Xuan as soon as he learned about the matter.


    Cheng Xuan¡¯s reply made him feel the oddity in this matter.


    ¡°Master, how about I go to Shanhai Xuegong in advance and check it out.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having relieved himself of the duty of student council president and having completed the sale of Fire Spirit Rice in the Divine Wood Sect, was free for the rest of the year. He decided to utilize this time to get closer to the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°That¡¯ll work, but don¡¯t take the Purple Electric Sword too seriously. After all, your competitors are Gold Core cultivators. Don¡¯t feel discouraged if you lose.¡±


    As Che Yucheng spoke, he was already starting to take the pressure off Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Okay, Master. Who should I contact when I go there?¡±


    In Shanhai Xuegong, Chen Mobai only knew Pei Qingshuang.


    However, since they had a fiery fight in Jumang Dao Institute, Chen Mobai felt that his relationship with her was ordinary, so he didn¡¯t plan on finding her.


    ¡°Hao Cao studied at our academy. After you go to Shanhai Xuegong, you can directly find him.¡±


    Since the Four Great Daoist Academies only enrolled fifty new students each year, there were many aspirants who fell short. They had the chance to pursue continued education in the top ten academies to take advantage of the resources and instruction provided by the Four Great Daoist Academies.


    Last year, Dai Shiqing, the chief student of Lingbao Xuegong, was promoted to Dance Tool Dao Academy by passing the examination.


    When Chen Mobai was still the student council president, he visited him specifically and had a pleasant conversation.


    Hao Cao, the principal of Shanhai Xuegong, was in the same situation. For his work, he collaborated with Deng Daoyun, the current head of the Refining Implement Department and forged a Rank-3 sword fetus, which was widely praised.


    To this day, Hao Cao was recognized as a Sword Dao Master and a big sword cultivator in perfect Core Formation.


    After making a call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t delay it any longer.


    Shanhai Xuegong was in White Stone, the easternmost area of the Immortal Sect, and was a coastal city.


    Chen Mobai checked the route and booked a plane ticket for tomorrow morning.


    The reason he didn¡¯t go back today was that there was one more person who needed to be comforted here.


    In the evening.


    In the villa on mountaintop, Chen Mobai, who had worked all day, cuddled Meng Huang, who was sweating from the heat, and told her that he had to go on a business trip tomorrow.


    ¡°I see, when will you come back?¡±


    Meng Huang seemed a little worried. Even though she had been cultivating diligently for half a year and had gained some understanding of the threshold law, she hadn¡¯t fully learned it yet. She was afraid that her progress would stall as soon as Chen Mobai left, and all her previous efforts would be wasted.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be sure, possibly at the end of the year.¡±


    According to the predetermined schedule, the final round of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was to be held at the end of this year. Chen Mobai was going there to check out the twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses and see what was going on.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If they didn¡¯t affect the final round, he might return right away, or he might stay there for half a year.


    ¡°How about I go with you?¡±


    Meng Huang gave it some thought. She only had half a year left, so she took a deep breath and stepped forward, hoping to stay with Chen Mobai, her excellent teacher, during this time.


    ¡°Well¡­ okay, you can book a ticket too.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai wanted to refuse. But seeing Meng Huang¡¯s hopeful yet anxious eyes, he understood her thoughts. Considering that she was just one step away from mastering the threshold law, he finally nodded his head and decided to take her along in hopes of quickly completing the contract and saving himself from the long-term trouble.

 Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_2

    Chapter 683: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_2


    Upon hearing his words, the worry on Meng Huang¡¯s face immediately brightened. She laughed and smoothed down the stray strands of hair on her snow-white cheek, before continuing to inquire about cultivation from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°We first met at the train station, if I remember correctly.¡±


    After another perfect session of cultivation, Chen Mobai took a deep breath, stroking Meng Huang who, after forcing herself to endure, was slowly calming her shaking body. He reminisced about their past.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you had seen my concert in Red Sandstone City?¡±


    Meng Huang, trying to compose herself, retorted with a question to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, at the Red Sandstone City, I was watching you from below the stage, but you certainly didn¡¯t notice me, so I wouldn¡¯t count it as our official meeting.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated seriously. After hearing this, Meng Huang thought about it and nodded in acceptance.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a train to Mountain and Sea Academy?¡±


    After another intimate moment between them, Chen Mobai suddenly proposed an idea. Meng Huang, a bit puzzled, lifted her head from his chest and looked at him with a confused expression on her face.


    ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, you¡¯re in the process of practicing the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret and you can basically endure it with your own willpower, but there¡¯s still a bit of fine-tuning left in your limit method. I think it¡¯s time to employ some more stimulating scenes to raise your threshold.


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Meng Huang¡¯s beautiful eyes widened, and her breathing started to quicken.


    ¡°Does that mean¡­¡±


    She instinctively wanted to decline, but Meng Huang gave it some thought. Given the effort she poured into the limit method over the past six months, which improved her understanding from nothing to halfway there, she realized Chen Mobai¡¯s method might work.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Thinking about her graduation in half a year, and considering all the efforts made thus far, she shouldn¡¯t give up just before success was within reach.


    After all, accompanying Chen Mobai to the Mountain and Sea Academy was intended to practice well and master the limit method as quickly as possible during this period.


    ¡°¡­is it possible?¡±


    Finally, Meng Huang lowered her head, gently expressing her agreement.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you can bear it under those conditions, then all other difficulties in the limit method would be nothing for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said seriously. He had spent the last six months diligently guiding Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation and was growing a bit tired, having never dedicated so much attention to any of his disciples before.


    Seeing that she still had not mastered the limit method, Chen Mobai was quite concerned. If she really didn¡¯t succeed in the Foundation Establishment before graduation, then they would be seriously disadvantaged.


    If Meng Huang declines to serve in the army by then, would he have to take her place?


    Thinking about all this, Chen Mobai thought it was better to help Meng Huang establish her foundation as soon as possible.


    So he discreetly consulted with Tian Wenguang earlier, who gave him this idea.


    If she could bear normal cultivations scenes, then they should change to a more difficult environment for practice, gradually raising the threshold and increasing her endurance.


    And keep doing it until she fully mastered it.


    As for what kind of difficult environment, Tian Wenguang let Chen Mobai figure it out himself, suggesting it would be best if it brought back good memories for them both.


    Chen Mobai pondered and pondered, but couldn¡¯t make sense of these words.


    Not until after this cultivation session, when it suddenly occurred to him.


    There were only a few places he and Meng Huang had met, so why not just try them one by one? Now that they were about to leave town, being on a train was quite suitable.


    ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯ll book the tickets.¡±


    Meng Huang mumbled a sentence.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately canceled his plane ticket.


    ¡°By the way, wear the outfit you had on when we met at the train station. It will help us reminisce about the good old times.¡±


    ¡°What outfit? It¡¯s been so long, how am I supposed to remember?¡±


    ¡°I think it was a light yellow tight dress. I particularly remember it accentuating your slender figure, along with those white high-heeled shoes.¡±


    That night, this conversation occurred between the man and the woman in their bedroom.


    ¡­


    Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level and students from the four big Daoist Academies were eligible for free upgrades to first-class on the train.


    Chen Mobai and Meng Huang were both qualified.


    Since Meng Huang was a big star, she had to be extra cautious when traveling, hence sunglasses, hats, and scarfs were indispensable. To avoid revealing their close relationship to the public, they purposefully staggered their boarding times.


    The first-class luxury soft sleeper cabin to Mountain and Sea Academy was occupied just by them.


    To avoid suspicion, they naturally stayed in separate rooms.


    But at night, Meng Huang, slipping into her usual outfit, quietly crawled into Chen Mobai¡¯s cabin.


    Cultivating in such an environment was indeed more demanding than in normal circumstances.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But for the sake of helping Meng Huang master the limit method as soon as possible, Chen Mobai had to push himself.


    Due to the slow speed of the train and the fact that the White Stone Cave Heaven, where the Mountain and Sea Academy was located, was at the extreme eastern edge of the realm, their journey lasted four days and three nights.


    Tian Wenguang proved to be an expert. In this tough special environment, Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation progressed rapidly.


    In the final night, while shaking in her white high heels, she had a sudden insight.


    She truly understood all the intricacies of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, and mastered the limit method. The mysteries of confining spirit and blood, closing off energy doors, and the opening and closing of her Purple Mansion were all clear to her at that moment.

 Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_3

    Chapter 684: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_3


    ¡°Finally, I understand¡­ this is how it works¡­¡±


    In that instant of realization, Meng Huang felt that all her hard efforts had paid off. She couldn¡¯t help but shed tears of relief, crying once again.


    Having grasped the boundary law, she no longer needed to endure. Her trembling legs, which had been strained, suddenly gave way.


    ¡­


    In the rest area of the White Stone Cave¡¯s railway station, Chen Mobai and Meng Huang sat in two separate corners.


    [When do you plan to establish your foundation?]


    Although sitting apart, the two were engaged in a relaxed conversation through text messages.


    Even though only half a year was left, it wasn¡¯t certain whether she could successfully establish her foundation before graduation. However, after mastering the boundary law, it wouldn¡¯t be an issue for Meng Huang to apply for an extra year or two.


    Ever since joining Dance Tool Dao Academy, the decade-long cloud over her chest was finally lifted, and Meng Huang felt an unprecedented joy in her heart and soul.


    Everything felt so wonderful to her¨Cthe air was fresh, and the sun was bright.


    A yearning surged up within her. She wanted to buy a return ticket immediately and go back to Dance Tool Dao Academy to establish her foundation.


    However, she was thoughtful and knew that if she acted on her impulse, she would come across as rather mercenary. She decided to stay with Chen Mobai for a while to express her gratitude properly.


    [Once I return to the Academy, I¡¯ll attempt it right away. However, I can only exchange for the three treasures of foundation establishment at the end of term. I hope I can successfully establish my foundation before graduation.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Mastering the boundary law meant having unlimited trial-and-error opportunities. However, a successful establishment of a foundation would still require one¡¯s own foundation to meet the necessary conditions.


    Elixirs could expedite the establishment of the foundation.


    Meng Huang¡¯s first step, ¡®Change Tendons and Wash Marrow¡¯, had already been completed. Only her second step, ¡®Condensing Qi into Liquid¡¯, repeatedly failed, missing just two or three drops. But with the boundary law and the assistance of the ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯, she estimated that she could easily cross this hurdle after one or two attempts.


    In contrast, the final step, ¡®Divine Sense Out of Body¡¯, might still require numerous trials and explorations despite possessing the boundary law before it could be wholly successful.


    However, with the aid of the Spirit Ascension Powder and Meng Huang¡¯s Mystic Sound Method that would invoke celestial music during foundation establishment, passing this hurdle was only a matter of time.


    [I¡¯ll see if I can help you snatch a set of Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder on the Xianmen website. The White Stone Cave should also provide a Rank-3 Cultivation Room. If it suits you, you could try your hand at establishing a foundation here.]


    Now that she had the boundary law, she wasn¡¯t afraid of failure, so she didn¡¯t need to be particular about the location or other conditions for establishing her foundation.


    However, many cultivators had a slight compulsion, believing that the probability of a breakthrough would be higher in familiar surroundings.


    [Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try. You¡¯ve really worked hard these past few days.]


    Meng Huang also wished to establish her foundation as soon as possible to retaliate against certain individuals at Dance Tool Dao Academy and the media always badmouthing her circles in the entertainment industry.


    But she knew who the biggest contributor was to her mastery of the boundary law. Although some images in her mind were painful to recall, she sincerely thanked Chen Mobai.


    [I merely did what I was supposed to do.]


    As he spoke those words, Chen Mobai felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his chest.


    He wouldn¡¯t have to worry about this in the future.


    He didn¡¯t know whether it was because Meng Huang was slow of understanding or the cultivation method for the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret he figured out was unsuitable. Still, it took an arduous six months.


    If it had been one of his disciples, Chen Mobai definitely wouldn¡¯t have shown this much patience.


    ¡°Oh, long time no see.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was planning to use his Xianmen account to check whether any of the three treasures for establishing a foundation were available soon, someone he wouldn¡¯t expect showed up before him.


    Pei Qingshuang, with her glossy black hair tied into a ponytail, and her smooth, pale face, coupled with her Mountain and Sea Academy¡¯s dark green uniform, looked refreshing and vibrant.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up curiously. Before coming here, he had obviously contacted the Mountain and Sea Academy. Hao Cao, owing to his status, definitely couldn¡¯t come to receive him personally, so he had simply stated someone else would be arranged, and Chen Mobai could ask this person if he needed anything.


    ¡°Linghu Xian was busy today, and since I was free and my status is suitable, it¡¯s very fitting for me to pick up the chief representative of Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Linghu Xian was the chief of Mountain and Sea Academy. If he came to pick Chen Mobai, their statuses would be equivalent.


    But if Pei Qingshuang came instead, it would actually show more respect to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Shall we leave now?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his gaze unintentionally swept to the corner where Meng Huang, almost entirely covered by sunglasses, scarf, and a mask, was sitting.


    ¡°If you haven¡¯t booked a room for yourself, come with me. The accommodation provided by our Academy is almost equivalent to what¡¯s provided to a Gold Core master.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said this, beckoned, and took the lead outside.


    [Find a hotel to stay for now. I¡¯ll contact you later.]

    Chen Mobai could only send this message to Meng Huang, who hesitated for a moment before replying with a [Okay].


    ¡­


    The White Stone Cave, located seaside, was famous for producing a unique type of white stone.


    This white stone could be used as a sharpening stone and also store particular spiritual energy. It had a wide range of applications.


    The predecessor of the Mountain and Sea Academy could be traced back to an ancient villa offering sword sharpening services in the prehistoric times. People from there also took care of precious swords. In the villa were thirteen gigantic stone swords, said to be shaped by the ancients from mountains¨Ca truly spectacular sight to behold.

 Chapter 685 - Chapter 685: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_4

    Chapter 685: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_4


    After the Xianmen began to rule the world, they discovered that these were thirteen naturally grown magic swords, containing the mysteries of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, forever protecting the limitless sea territories from invading the mainland.


    The original School of Mountain and Sea was established by a group of cultivators from the Xianmen who studied the stone swords.


    In their mansion, they learned while teaching, which eventually evolved into the most famous Sword Cultivation University in the Xianmen order today.


    ¡°Is this the White Stone?¡±


    Chen Mobai, following Pei Qingshuang, got into a car. Seeing him a little bored on the journey, Pei Qingshuang, who was driving, handed him a stone as white as jade, which could fit into the palm.


    ¡°Yes, during the open recruitment stage of the Purple Electric Sword finding its master, it required interested sword cultivators from the Xianmen to infuse their Sword Qi into the White Stone and mail it to our School of Mountain and Sea.¡±


    ¡°We will then select the White Stones that meet the requirements and send them to the Purple Electric Sword for its choice.¡±


    ¡°However, this is all just for show. From these open selections, we will only symbolically select a few lucky ones to make up the numbers. These individuals will join the four of you, who have already been chosen, for the last round.¡±


    This final round involves each person having a day alone with the Purple Electric Sword. The person with the highest resonance degree with this Rank-4 magical sword will become its master.


    ¡°What about the twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses who have resonated with the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai, while fiddling with the White Stone, asked about the issue he cared about the most.


    ¡°Indeed, you too came early because of this.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang chuckled lightly and stepped on the gas. Sitting in the rear row, Chen Mobai immediately felt a strong sense of thrust. They sped into the high-speed flight zone, free from the restrictions of the road surface, and flew towards the School of Mountain and Sea situated on a cliff.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Oh, who else has arrived?¡±


    Chen Mobai, looking out of the window at the giant stone swords of various heights seemingly held by celestial beings, arbitrarily arranged on the cliff, asked casually.


    ¡°You are the last of the four.¡±


    Hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be dumbfounded. It turns out that these Gold Core ¡°Real People¡± esteem the Purple Electric Sword so highly.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question yet.¡±


    ¡°All I can say is that the twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses were personally reviewed by the Principal Hao Cao two days ago after he inspected all the Sword Qi-infused White Stones.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang made a remark that left Chen Mobai in a daze.


    Hao Cao, a master of Sword Dao, personally inspecting?


    He must have known that the Purple Electric Sword could only choose among the four of them. So why would he do such a meaningless thing?


    It¡¯s not just twelve Sword Cultivation Geniuses. Even if there were a hundred and twenty, they couldn¡¯t reverse the intention of the Nascent Souls.


    No, teacher Cheng Xuan said that he was asked to remain silent about this matter.


    In this case, it seems that Hao Cao reported his actions to the relevant Nascent Souls in advance.


    Getting there, Chen Mobai became even more confused about this situation.


    He tried asking Pei Qingshuang again, whose mother is Tao Hua of the Nascent Souls, perhaps knowing the truth, but she merely smiled slightly and refused to say more.


    At this time, the two have already arrived at the School of Mountain and Sea.


    It is situated on the handle of the Thousand-foot Stone Sword.


    It is the tallest and most enormous among the thirteen stone swords of Bai Shi Dong Tian.


    After getting off the car, Chen Mobai looked down at the tumultuous sea nearby and then looked back at the thirteen towering stone swords of various heights on the cliff, couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the miracle.


    Such magnificent scenery truly needs to be seen in person to appreciate its magnificent grandeur, unique in the whole world.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go meet the principal first. The place where you¡¯ll be staying is on another stone sword.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang led Chen Mobai towards the school built on the Thousand-foot Sword Handle.


    The Sea-settling Thirteen Swords, the tallest three being the thousand-foot ones, followed by four that are a hundred feet long, and then three that are only ten feet long, while the last three barely make it to one foot.


    Chen Mobai, listening to Pei Qingshuang describe the School of Mountain and Sea¡¯s incredible sceneries, couldn¡¯t help but be amazed.


    ¡°Originally, there were fourteen stone swords, but one absorbed the essence of all the stone swords, shed its stone shell, and turned into a top sword embryo. It was refined into the Sea-settling Sword by Grandmaster Yun Ya of your Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Scratching his head in admiration, Chen Mobai recalled Bian Jingchun mentioning that the Sea-settling Sword was refined by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but he never imagined that the grandmaster himself had personally intervened.


    ¡°Can I pay my respects to the Sea-settling Sword?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Sea-settling Sword is sealed on the top floor of the Sword Tower. You¡¯re going to the Purple Electric Sword anyway, so you can pay your respects then.¡±


    Within the Xianmen, Rank-5 magic artifacts are usually sealed since they require too much spiritual energy to activate, so they are preserved with minimal spiritual energy to prevent their grade from falling.


    Thus, high-grade artifacts are a burden for the Xianmen if they don¡¯t have a master.


    The Sword Tower of the School of Mountain and Sea stores half of the Xianmen¡¯s flying swords, and the Treasure Trove of the Dance Tool Dao Academy stores tens of thousands of magic artifacts. It¡¯s hard for the academies alone to support these. Most rely on Xianmen funding.

    So finding a master for the Purple Electric Sword is also a way to slightly reduce the burden on the Xianmen.


    During their conversation, the two have already arrived at a place for sword grinding.


    A middle-aged man with a stern face, short hair, and no eyebrows, his beard and mustache twisted, is using the White Stone to grind a rusty longsword.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Real Person Hao Cao.¡±


    Chen Mobai had seen pictures of Hao Cao online and knew that he was the principal of the School of Mountain and Sea, so he immediately greeted him respectfully.

 Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_5

    Chapter 686: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_5


    ¡°Where¡¯s your Sword Qi?¡±


    Hao Cao seemed to be a man of few words. He nodded, then directly asked Chen Mobai a question that confused him.


    ¡°You need to infuse a strand of your Sword Qi into the White Stone and hand it over to your teacher. After all, to silence the world, there will be an audience selection round for all four of you.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was next to him, immediately explained, causing enlightenment to spring onto Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    No wonder he was given a piece of White Stone.


    However, when he was about to infuse the Sword Qi, he ran into a problem.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The one who asked was Pei Qingshuang. After Hao Cao demanded the Sword Qi, he devoted himself to grinding his sword.


    ¡°I have cultivated the Five Elements Sword Qi, and a single kind cannot show the true level of my Purple Electric Sword. May I have four more pieces of White Stone?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Hao Cao finally stopped his action. He lifted his head and looked at the handsome young man with his unique dark grey pupils, and replied.


    ¡°The top Sword Cultivators can infuse fourteen strands of complete Sword Qi into a single piece of White Stone without shattering it.¡±


    This was news to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t make it difficult for him. I can only infuse three strands of complete Sword Qi into a piece of White Stone.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Pei Qingshuang spoke up in defense of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If he wants to surpass the Core Formation stage at the Foundation Establishment stage and gain recognition from the Purple Electric Sword, he must accomplish this.¡¯


    After Hao Cao finished speaking, he lowered his head again, picked up the White Stone in his hand, and continued to grind his sword.


    At this time, Chen Mobai finally noticed that the White Stone Hao Cao was using to grind his sword radiated nine different colors and yet unified with the small White Stone, forming a stable and firm Sword Array.


    The Sword Light was shapeshifting!


    Chen Mobai recalled the words of Zuo Gong.


    Among the people who walked their own paths in the Immortal Sect, there was Hao Cao. He was one of the four great Sword Dao masters of the Immortal Sect, equally famous as Nangong Xuanyu.


    The fame was not unfounded indeed.


    ¡°Let me try.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his head and began to infuse his most proficient Red Flame Sword Qi into the White Stone with full concentration.


    It was naturally an easy task for him as a Sword Cultivator who had reached the state of Sword Light Transformation.


    The qualification requirement for the competition to select the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s master was the second stage of Sword Cultivation, the Sword Gang Transforming Qi.


    However, to infuse a complete strand of Sword Qi into the White Stone without causing cracks, a high mastery of Sword Qi was needed in addition to the cultivation of Sword Qi.


    Even so, thousands of White Stones were sent to the Mountain and Sea Academy.


    Among them, Hao Cao chose twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation geniuses.


    After Chen Mobai had infused the Red Flame Sword Qi, he started to infuse the Earth Sword Aura according to the order of the Five Elements¡¯ generation and transformation. However, his approach seemed to have a problem. The moment he infused the second strand of Sword Qi, a crack suddenly appeared in the White Stone in his palm, and then it broke into two halves.


    ¡°This¡­?¡±


    ¡°Just try a few more times. There is still some time before the final round.¡±


    It seemed that Pei Qingshuang had anticipated this scene. She giggled, walked to the corner, picked up a basket of White Stones, and brought it over.


    The stones were for Hao Cao to grind his sword. When she took them for Chen Mobai, the former just glanced at her and continued to lower his head and grind his sword.


    ¡°Do I need to infuse the Five Elements Sword Qi at the same time and form a stable cycle inside the White Stone?¡±


    After failing once, Chen Mobai immediately figured out the key point.


    ¡°Yes, but to squeeze five complete strands of Sword Qi into a single piece of White Stone requires a high level of control over the Sword Qi. Normally only a Jiedan Sword Cultivator can do it.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was a pure Sword Cultivator who had loved sword dancing since childhood, so she was sent to the Mountain and Sea Academy by Tao Hua. She studied hard on ordinary days and had a deep understanding of Sword Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai nodded lightly after hearing her words. Next, he operated his Five Elements Sword Fingers, activated the most subtle five strands of Sword Light with the realm of Sword Light Transformation, and carefully infused them into the White Stone.


    At first, everything went smoothly. However, the capacity of the White Stone was limited. Chen Mobai could only infuse about one-third of each kind of Sword Qi before the stone was completely full. Then, with a crack, it exploded into a pile of stone powder.


    ¡°Do they need to be condensed?¡±


    After failing twice, Chen Mobai summed up his experience, picked up another piece of White Stone, and was about to try again.


    ¡°He must be tired from traveling. You should take him to rest first.¡±


    Hao Cao seemed a bit impatient. He devoted himself to sword grinding to cleanse his Sword Heart every day and disliked being disturbed at this time.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s profound background, he would have asked him to leave long ago.


    Nevertheless, he couldn¡¯t bear it after being interrupted twice in a row.


    ¡°Yes, teacher.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Pei Qingshuang also knew her teacher¡¯s character well. She felt that she hadn¡¯t explained everything clearly during the journey. After pulling Chen Mobai, she picked up the basket full of White Stones and prepared to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯ll carry this.¡±


    After they left Hao Cao¡¯s Sword Grinding Room, Chen Mobai took the basket full of White Stones from Pei Qingshuang¡¯s arms and thanked her.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I think highly of you anyway. At least I wouldn¡¯t mind if you become the master of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang¡¯s straightforward personality left Chen Mobai momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

 Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: Chapter 417: Bai Guangs Reincarnation Body_1

    Chapter 687: Chapter 417: Bai Guang¡¯s Reincarnation Body_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s place of residence was on top of another thousand-foot stone sword.


    For the Daoist Academy, it was indeed a very luxurious room, with a bedroom just for himself, as well as a balcony and a living room.


    Pei Qingshuang had left after bringing him over.


    Chen Mobai picked up a piece of white stone and thoughtfully began trying to infuse it with Sword Qi.


    This time, he didn¡¯t pursue the Five Elements Sword Qi, but merely infused it with his most proficient Red Flame Sword Qi.


    Although he didn¡¯t pay much attention to this Sword Talisman technique of the Divine Wood Sect, thanks to the empowerment of the great Dao tree, his Sword Dao Realm helped him grasp the essence and have a thorough understanding of it.


    Under the control of his Divine Sense at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, a complete Red Flame Sword Qi was quickly and perfectly infused into the white stone in his palm.


    The originally bright and jade-like stone seemed to be like fire jade at this time, shimmering with a faint reddish-yellow luster.


    Chen Mobai then picked up another four pieces of white stone and infused them with the remaining four types of Sword Qi.


    They were all successful at the first try.


    Just as he was preparing to try infusing two types of Sword Qi into the white stone, Meng Huang sent a message.


    [I¡¯ve already checked into the hotel, do you want to come over?]


    [You¡¯ve just become proficient in the liminal technique, and you still need to consolidate your foundation. I won¡¯t interrupt you.]


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai had given great advice to Meng Huang. He was afraid that if he wasn¡¯t careful, she might revert back, so he very wisely declined her invitation.


    [Ok, I¡¯ll be cultivating in the hotel for the next few days. If you feel like coming over, let me know in advance.]


    Seeing Meng Huang¡¯s motivational progress, Chen Mobai was very pleased. His exhaustive guidance over the past six months had not been in vain.


    After ending the chat, Chen Mobai divided his attention.


    On the one hand, he was fiddling with the white stone in his hand, trying to infuse it with more Sword Qi, and on the other hand, he was logging into the Immortal Gate network to see if there were any Foundation Establishment treasures about to be listed.


    With his high level of access, he easily found the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder needed for Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Once he remembered the exact listing time, Chen Mobai set an alarm for himself on his phone.


    After that, he began to concentrate on fiddling with the white stone in his hand.


    However, after many failed attempts, Chen Mobai found that his idea seemed to be mistaken.


    The key to infusing multiple types of Sword Qi without shattering the white stone was not compression.


    Each white stone could only contain so much spiritual power, meaning each stone could only hold one type of Sword Qi.


    So how did Hao Cao manage to infuse nine kinds of Sword Qi without shattering the stone?


    Chen Mobai had an advantage in that if he didn¡¯t understand something, he wouldn¡¯t stubbornly seek an answer but would ask for help or find answers online.


    He opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app on his phone and started searching for information about the white stone.


    However, because the white stone was a local specialty of the Shanhai Academy, and it was a tool used here to practice controlling Sword Qi, there weren¡¯t many related posts.


    After reading all the limited posts, Chen Mobai roughly understood.


    A standard portion of white stone could indeed only be infused with one type of Sword Qi, but if one wanted to demonstrate their Sword Dao cultivation level, they could infuse a second Sword Qi on top of the first one, like formatting.


    When infusing the second Sword Qi to overwrite the first, it gives the white stone the illusion that its interior has been emptied, that there is still room to accommodate more.


    However, in reality, the white stone could still only accommodate one type of Sword Qi, so the incoming Sword Qi needed to merge with the previous one.


    Two types of Sword Qi would become one, but would possess the characteristics of both types of Sword Qi.


    This was also the practice method of the ¡°Thirteen Swords of the Sea¡± of the Shanhai Academy.


    Chen Mobai had once fought a bitter battle with Yan Feng in Danxia City. The latter¡¯s Sea Sword Qi was stronger with each level because each succeeding Sword Qi had all the characteristics of the previous one, and was even more majestic.


    Thinking of Yan Feng, Chen Mobai suddenly thought, isn¡¯t he a student of the Shanhai Academy?


    It was just a pity that he did not have Yan Feng¡¯s contact information, after all, they were opponents at first and did not sympathize with each other after the fight.


    But if he wanted to contact Yan Feng, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible. After all, Chen Mobai was now one of the upper echelons of the Danxia City. Yan Feng¡¯s uncle was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he could always ask either Qin Baipeng or Shi Qujin for help.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai was inherently averse to trouble, so he certainly wouldn¡¯t bother reaching out to Yan Feng in this way.


    He thought for a moment and decided to ask Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°I did not expect you to grasp it to this level in just one night.¡±


    The next morning, Pei Qingshuang, who planned to take Chen Mobai for a tour of the Shanhai Academy, was slightly surprised when he asked for guidance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I looked up some information online and experimented a bit, and I roughly understood.¡±


    Chen Mobai honestly replied, but Pei Qingshuang thought he was being modest. After all, Chen Mobai was an acclaimed Sword Cultivation Genius who had achieved sword light transformation.


    ¡°I practice the Qingxiao Sword Canon, which is a cultivation technique that the previous Qing Shuang Sword user Qing Jing practiced. My mother made some revisions to it to suit my spiritual root and physique. This sword technique is different from the Thirteen Swords of the Sea. Let me demonstrate my Sword Qi for you.¡±


    As Pei Qingshuang spoke, she picked up a piece of white stone and then with her other hand in a sword formation, she delicately inserted the first Sword Qi.


    Chen Mobai opened his Void Spirit Eye and carefully observed the infusion of the second Sword Qi.

 Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: Chapter 417: Bai Guangs Reincarnation_2

    Chapter 688: Chapter 417: Bai Guang¡¯s Reincarnation_2


    Chen Mobai saw that once the sword qi penetrated the White Stone, it quickly tainted and transformed, retaining all the characteristics of its sword qi.


    With the infusion of the third Qing Shuang sword qi, he could see the sword qi embodying three layers of power, changing as fluidly as the vast emerald sky, from persistent rain to the final snowfall.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s how it works. Evolving multiple changes within a single sword Qi, incorporating all the changes. This indeed tests one¡¯s control over the sword Qi.¡±


    After watching Pei Qingshuang¡¯s demonstration, Chen Mobai understood the trick of infusing multiple kinds of sword Qis into the White Stone.


    ¡°The Resonance System of the Purple Electric Sword is made by our Dance Tool Dao Academy. The variation of sword Qi in the White Stone ranges from one to ten, and occupies nearly half of the degree of Resonance. Adding the supplementary conditions like Thunder method, Spiritual Root, Sword Dao Realm, it forms 0 to 100% of the degree of Resonance.¡±


    ¡°Our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s very own Ruan Zixiu, who practices the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon, can infuse five types of sword Qi into the White Stone. A couple of days ago, he tested his resonance degree with the Purple Electric Sword at the Sword Tower, which came out to be 32%.¡±


    ¡°Another one, Huo Xiqing from the Five Thunder Daoist Academy, though he can only infuse three sword Qi into the White Stone, has a perfect match with the rest of the supplementary conditions due to his practice in Purple Thunder Dharma, resulting in a high Degree of Resonance of 39%.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai finally understood why Hao Cao said that in order to obtain the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai must infuse at least five sword Qi into the White Stone.


    Otherwise, they would have no chance of surpassing these two Gold Core experts in the final round.


    ¡°What about Yan Qiongzhi?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this new Gold Core expert, who was on par with Lan Haitian but always kept a low profile, and was devoted to cultivating at the Nature Studies Academy.


    ¡°The resonance degree is 16%, which is average.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang did not hide anything and told him everything she knew.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.cO


    ¡°It seems that the Nature Studies Academy has given up on the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly puzzled. Since they had given up, why did they switch to another person at the last moment?


    ¡°Who told you they gave up? The Resonance System is just a data analysis model made by us at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The final decision is always up to the Purple Electric Sword itself. Sister Yan is guided by a sage of Yunhai, and if she is willing to pay some price, she has a good chance of becoming the final winner.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shook her head, saying something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If the Resonance System cannot decide the final master of the sword, then why should I waste my time testing on this White Stone?¡±


    ¡°In theory, the person with the highest degree of Resonance is the most compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we always strive to find the most suitable sword-bearer.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang gave a very plausible reason.


    Yet Chen Mobai sensed the underlying meaning of her words from this statement.


    ¡°What kind of conditions can prompt the Purple Electric Sword to ignore the degree of Resonance and make a direct selection?¡±


    ¡°You should ask Sister Yan.¡±


    Not sure whether she didn¡¯t know or couldn¡¯t tell, Pei Qingshuang didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question directly, but reminded him who he should ask.


    In a short while, the two arrived at Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s residence.


    She was on the same thousand-foot Stone Sword as Chen Mobai, just on the other side due to the difference in gender.


    ¡°Congratulations on the Core Formation, Master Yan.¡±


    The Daoist Academy had numerous rituals for newly formed cores. Chen Mobai chose the ancient ceremony of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and Yan Qiongzhi responded with a polite salute.


    ¡°With your talents, you will undoubtedly join our ranks soon.¡±


    Despite forming her core, Yan Qiongzhi remained gentle and composed. After inviting Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang to sit, she waved her hand and summoned a teapot from the void.


    Is this the Gold Core Domain?


    Seeing her actions, Chen Mobai watched with interest. Compared to fetching things from a storage sack, it was indeed much more convenient.


    Furthermore, if what she took out was a Magic Artifact, he would be unable to defend against it.


    As Chen Mobai was distracted by his thoughts, Yan Qiongzhi had already conjured a drop of water, forming a pleasant-smelling tea which landed in front of them.


    ¡°I wonder if I can master this Gold Core Domain?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who wanted to ask about the Purple Electric Sword, saw the Gold Core Domain and thought it was a good segue. So, he started by asking about it.


    ¡°I reckon it¡¯s tough; I didn¡¯t even manage to complete the training.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, sitting nearby, was the first to respond. She had already reached the Perfection stage of the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment. She didn¡¯t need to queue to use the Realm Portal during her application. Tao Hua personally escorted her on the journey.


    Despite this, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t successfully open the Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I just got lucky. If I tried again, I might not succeed.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi said this with great modesty, yet she went on to share her experience in opening the Gold Core Domain.


    ¡°Feeling the Power of Void is the entrance step. If you can¡¯t even do this, having exclusive use of the Realm Portal for a year will still be of no use.¡±


    ¡°After the Realm Portal shatters the True Void, the Domain is formed. You need to use your powerful Divine Sense to absorb the Power of Void you felt and open a weak domain. This step depends on the intensity of your Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°I was fortunate enough to grasp the Rank-3 Freeze Power, which helped me in this step.¡±


    After listening to Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s teachings, Chen Mobai respectfully stood up to thank her. However, she just gave a graceful smile, signalling him to sit down.


    ¡°The actual steps for Gold Core Domain are feeling, gathering, and opening. It¡¯s simple yet complex, the key is whether you can achieve it.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was sitting nearby, nodded in agreement, having had a similar experience. She failed at the step of absorbing enough Power of Void.


    It was the first time she felt powerless.


    She just couldn¡¯t do it.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Yan. Actually, today, I wanted to ask you about the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    After thanking her again, Chen Mobai mentioned the actual purpose of his visit.


    The selection of the master for the Purple Electric Sword was initiated by Cheng Xuan from Dance Tool Dao Academy and Yun Hai from Nature Studies Academy. Therefore, nominally, they were collaborators.


    ¡°As I just achieved Core Formation, I don¡¯t have a Magic Artifact. My senior, Yu Shiling, gave me this opportunity. But my Xuan Bing Jue doesn¡¯t pair well with the Purple Electric Sword. In fact, I just wanted to bring back the Purple Electric Sword for worship.¡±


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean? How can you bring back the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked for guidance again, but Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s gaze turned to Pei Qingshuang drinking tea on the side, and she asked a different question.


    ¡°The twelve sudden Sword Cultivation Geniuses, they were part of the Mesmerizing Formation, weren¡¯t they?¡±


    ¡°Oh, did Yun Hai tell you?¡±


    As expected, Pei Qingshuang knew the truth. When she heard Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s question, she put down her teacup with slight surprise.


    ¡°The Principal only told me not to insist.¡±


    ¡°I see¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Pei Qingshuang mused.


    She then signaled the two to come closer and quietly started explaining the reality.


    ¡°During the initial screening, someone injected fourteen Sword Qi into a White Stone sent in. This scared the teachers in charge of screening at our Mountain Sea Academy. You should know, even Teacher Hao Cao only has nine Sword Qi.¡±


    ¡°After that, Teacher Hao Cao took the White Stone to meet the Hall Master. Cheng Xuan, Yun Hai, and my mother Tao Hua were also invited.¡±


    ¡°When Teacher Hao Cao returned, he personally reviewed all the White Stones that had been sent. He selected twelve White Stones to cover up the prodigy with the fourteen Sword Qi.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After listening to this, both of them stared at each other in astonishment.


    ¡°Fourteen Sword Qi!? What kind of monster is that?¡±


    Chen Mobai gasped in shock.


    ¡°Monster? Watch your language; that¡¯s the reincarnation of the Elder Bai Guang.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shot him a look and revealed the truth.

 Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: 418

    Chapter 689: 418


    Chen Mobai, after hearing this, could not help but widen his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.


    Not only him, even the ordinarily gentle and reserved Yan Qiongzhi couldn¡¯t help but cover her cherry lips in surprise after hearing the truth revealed by Pei Qingshuang. She lost all her composure.


    Obviously, the impact of this matter on them was too great.


    ¡°What does it mean that the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor, could it be that the Old Ancestor has already passed away?¡±


    After a long time, Chen Mobai swallowed saliva and asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I asked my mother about this. She didn¡¯t tell me. But it can be confirmed that the genius who can inject fourteen Sword Qi into the White Stone is the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor.¡±


    The reason why she was so sure was that even the Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Xianmen could not do this.


    ¡°Then why should we fight? Just give the Purple Electric Sword to Bai Guang Old Ancestor directly.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a wry smile, who in the entire Xianmen would dare to compete with the Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Teacher Hao Cao has already eliminated the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor. However, to be on the safe side, he created Twelve Unparalleled Sword Cultivation Geniuses to distract from the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang revealed another secret news.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yan Qiongzhi looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but swallow saliva.


    ¡°Is¡­ President Hao Cao not afraid of being reproached by Bai Guang Old Ancestor for doing this?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°The reincarnation of Old Ancestor does not know that he is Bai Guang Old Ancestor. It seems that the Old Ancestor is playing in the world, or it is a way of cultivation. He is still a common Qi Practitioner, still struggling hard for Foundation Establishment. And under the pressure of the Hall Masters and other high-ranking Cultivators, Teacher Hao Cao can only take the blame.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai sympathized silently with Hao Cao. No wonder he seemed to be in a bad mood when I saw him yesterday; he was sharpening his sword all the time.


    Eliminating the reincarnation of Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor without any reason is an order from several Nascent Soul Cultivators. However, when Bai Guang Old Ancestor comes to know about this in the future, he will certainly remember him for this scandal.


    It¡¯s estimated that even if he reaches Nascent Soul Formation, his future will be bleak.


    But this is what the leader makes you carry¡­


    ¡°So it means, who gets this Purple Electric Sword finally depends on you four.¡±


    After Pei Qingshuang finished speaking, Chen Mobai was somewhat relieved.


    ¡°Cui, you are a teacher of the Mountain and Sea Academy. I guess you must have figured out the way our Nature Studies Academy wants to get the Purple Electric Sword back.¡±


    Within a faint smile, Yan Qiongzhi proceeded to answer the question Chen Mobai asked earlier. Pei Qingshuang nodded approvingly after hearing it.


    ¡°If Ruan Zixiu becomes the master of the Purple Electric Sword, he definitely won¡¯t give up the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon which he has practiced for hundreds of years. Therefore, the Purple Electric Sword needs to adapt to him. Even if the man and sword become one in the end, the sword¡¯s spirit will suffer a big loss. Only after Ruan Zixiu reaches the Nascent Soul Formation, the Purple Electric Sword can possibly get restored.¡±


    ¡°As for Huo Xiqing, his Purple Thunder Dharma is perfectly compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. But he is not a Sword Cultivator. Besides, he desires to use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method to absorb the essence of the Purple Electric Sword for his use. While this method will also bind the cultivator and the sword, we do not know whether the Purple Electric Sword is willing to take this risk.¡±


    ¡°If you, Sister Yan, tell the Purple Electric Sword to choose you as its master, it will neither need to reduce its spirit nor need to donate its essence. It¡¯s just about changing its place of worship. In situations where the sword must make a choice, it might overlook the Resonance degree and choose our Nature Studies Academy.¡¯


    Pei Qingshuang expressed her guess. Although Rank-4 swords are rare in Xianmen, many years of peace have made the Cultivators focus more on raising their own Realms and extending their lifespan.


    Even the Golden Core Cultivator badly needs the Purple Electric Sword, but would not risk damaging its foundation for a sword.


    Ruan Zixiu will not change his cultivation to the compatible Purple Thunder Dharma of the Purple Electric Sword. Huo Xiqing desires the Purple Electric Sword because it can use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Technique to co-cultivate the power of this rank-4 sword to improve himself.


    If either of these two Golden Core Cultivators becomes the master of the sword, the Purple Electric Sword will have to make many sacrifices from the beginning.


    And making this sacrifice, the only hope for the future is that the master of the sword can successfully reach the Nascent Soul Formation.


    If he fails, then the rank of the Purple Electric Sword will fall and might never recover to Rank-4.


    On the contrary, if Yan Qiongzhi is chosen, even though she will be the master of the sword, she will not ask the sword to merge with her. Therefore, this rank-4 sword will not have the risk of falling.


    It¡¯s just like the sword is changing its nurturing place from the Mountain and Sea Academy to the Nature Studies Academy.


    After listening to the conversation of the two women, Chen Mobai had an enlightened look on his face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    So, the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master is like a recruitment interview.


    It¡¯s like three companies offering a pay raise to the Purple Electric Sword:


    The condition of Ruan Zixiu is that the Purple Electric Sword should follow him. Although the conditions are a bit tough now, the original skills are not very useful. It needs to learn the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon to adapt to him. But the future is bright. Once I reach Nascent Soul Formation, you will be an even more versatile Rank-4 Sword.


    Huo Xiqing¡¯s condition is that it is perfectly compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. It can get started immediately. But the current company is a bit in a downturn, needs the sword to work without any returns, and also needs to contribute its savings to the company. But the future is also bright. Once I reach the Nascent Soul Formation, you can display your fully potent power.


    The condition of Yan Qiongzhi for the Purple Electric Sword is the best. As long as it agrees to come, it will be provided with food and shelter and doesn¡¯t need to work. The only disadvantage is that there is no future, it will stay the same in this life.

 Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: Chapter 418: Scapegoat_2

    Chapter 690: Chapter 418: Scapegoat_2


    ¡°So, is it about whether the Purple Lightning Sword wants to have a future or just to lay low?¡±


    Chen Mobai concluded with a sudden realization.


    At first, the two women found it a bit strange, but soon they realized that this summary was excellent, hitting the nail on the head.


    ¡°What conditions have you prepared?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang asked Chen Mobai, who was a bit slow to react. After contemplating his advantages, he found that it might be pretty straightforward.


    Offer better treatment.


    ¡°Mine are similar to those of Master Yan. But I¡¯m just a puny Foundation Establishment cultivator; I presume the Purple Lightning Sword won¡¯t be interested in me.¡±


    Chen Mobai mocked himself, even though he was considered the second Lan Haitian. Until he surpassed the hurdle of Core Formation, he would forever remain as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Compared to the other three Core Formation cultivators, at least they have hope for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Even though he had good potential, if he wanted to form a core, he would have to make the Purple Lightning Sword wait at least sixty more years.


    After the sword chose its master, the heavens would not provide the minimum conditions of Spirit Stone Spiritual Qi. If the Purple Lightning Sword were to follow a Foundation Establishment cultivator for sixty years, it might even fall in its rank.


    Moreover, every magic artifact has a lifespan after being forged.


    In the world of cultivation, only a few handfuls of materials are forever-lasting. Even if they are extraordinarily precious, they would decay after experiencing the vicissitudes of time.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    For this reason, the Treasure Trove periodically chooses magic artifacts that are near their lifespan and refines them into talisman treasures and talisman artifacts, extracting their last value.


    Although the Purple Lightning Sword is a Rank-4 sword, theoretically it could last for thousands of years under abundant spiritual energy.


    But the problem is the lack of spiritual energy; the heavens certainly prioritize providing to Rank-5 treasures and above.


    The Daoist Academy spends more than half its annual budget on the Sea-settling Sword, leaving for the Purple Lightning Sword just barely enough to maintain its minimum operation.


    ¡°I wonder if the Purple Lightning Sword likes Spirit Stones?¡±


    With this thought, a novel idea flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    On the other side, Pei Qingshuang had already started consulting Yan Qiongzhi about her Core Formation experience. Yan generously shared every minute detail, not only broadcasting her own Core Formation clip but voluntarily explaining the subtle changes in her condition.


    Chen Mobai watched attentively.


    Yan Qiongzhi performed her Core Formation at the Jumang Daoist Academy, home to the most potent water vein in the Heaven. She borrowed a Rank-4 high-grade spiritual energy cultivation room to begin her Core Formation after the offline exchange meeting at the Daoist Academy.


    Thanks to Wen Bo and Pei Qingshuang, otherwise with her Foundation Establishment level at the time, she would have probably only secured a lower-grade room.


    Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s Core Formation process took an entire year. Instead of consuming the Water Element Gold Core Medicine at the start, she gradually increased her spiritual power and divine sense, initiating the Core Formation process without any Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    She successfully triggered it, but her own foundation was not sufficient to breakthrough by herself.


    This year of trying allowed her body to adapt to the rhythm of Core Formation.


    Therefore, it was a natural progression after she consumed the Water Element Gold Core Medicine.


    This is in the Heaven. If it were in the Eastern Wilderness, the Heavenly Tribulation alone that lasts a year would be disturbing enough, leaving no mental energy to focus on Core Formation.


    Yan Qiongzhi shared her successful experience. She had a Freezing Technique that could slow down the condensation of spiritual power at critical junctures.


    This technique gave her more control over the Core Formation process, allowing her to sample and refine, laying the foundation for her eventual success.


    After listening, Chen Mobai asked about the Freezing Technique.


    Yan Qiongzhi didn¡¯t hide anything, but this powerful technique could only be used by an ice spirit root cultivator who practiced the Xuan Bing Jue.


    Although Pei Qingshuang also had a gold and water True Spirit Root, she decided not to convert to an Ice Spirit Root in order to practice the Qingxiao Sword Canon.


    Let alone Chen Mobai, with his Pure Yang Scroll Foundation, it conflicted with the Freezing Technique.


    Nevertheless, both of them still asked Yan Qiongzhi for the Freezing Technique, even if they couldn¡¯t master it, it was worth a look.


    ¡°The immortal sects have many techniques that are helpful for Core Formation, you should focus your efforts on those that match with your own cultivation techniques and spiritual roots, and not expend too much effort on my Freezing Technique.¡±


    After transferring the electronic copy to both of them, Yan Qiongzhi gave another reminder.


    After chatting for a while longer, Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang took their leave.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai inquired about Yan Bingxuan¡¯s situation, after all, his old classmate had only a year and a half left. If she did not establish her foundation, with her personality, she would definitely go into military service.


    ¡°After I advanced to Core Formation, the permissions on the Immortal Sect network greatly increased, and I¡¯ve already reserved some ¡®Snow Spirit Water¡¯ for Xuan.¡±


    The most powerful privilege of a Rank-3 user on the Immortal Sect network is that every month they can select one item released by the official Immortal Sect, and reserve it for themselves before it goes on sale.


    After Yan Qiongzhi advanced to become a Golden Core Cultivator, this privilege could be used to reserve Snow Spirit Water.


    ¡°I heard her say, Water Mist Ice Crystal is also useful for her Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still a bit concerned about the beautiful Yan, he had always remembered these two useful items for her Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°¡®Water Mist Ice Crystal¡¯ isn¡¯t available from the official Immortal Sect, and if I were to personally go to the polar sea territories to refine it, it would take several years, which would not make it in time for her graduation. Now we can only hope that she can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment with the aid of the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment and the Snow Spirit Water.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi also lamented that if one wanted to artificially produce Water Mist Ice Crystals of Rank-2 and above, one would have to go to the icy sea areas at the poles of the Earth Elemental Star, and condense it from the extremely cold Water Elemental Essence.


    With Yan Bingxuan having only a year and a half left until graduation, there just wasn¡¯t enough time.


    Chen Mobai took note of this, and planned to ask his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo about this once he returned to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you all the information about the Purple Electric Sword, don¡¯t let me down.¡±


    After leaving Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s residence, as Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang flew along the road, he suddenly heard the latter say.


    ¡°Do you really hope that much for me to become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    ¡°After all, the story of ¡®Purple Lightning Qingshuang¡¯ is too famous. I¡¯m already the sword master of the Qing Shuang Sword, and it¡¯s definite that the general public of the immortal sects will pair me with the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword to discuss. The other few are all real Golden Core Cultivators, it¡¯s too much pressure for me to be compared with them.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang gave a reason, and Chen Mobai glanced at her in surprise.


    ¡°Being compared with you, it should be the real Golden Core Cultivators who feel the pressure, right?¡±


    ¡°After reaching the Core Formation, one is already a part of the upper echelons of the immortal sects, becoming a councillor in the Kaiyuan Hall, nominally a manager of the immortal sects. These people all have the potential to go further, and will not feel pressured because I am the daughter of Immortal Tao Hua.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang seriously explained to Chen Mobai, who responded with a knowing smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best. But, suppose I become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword, and reach Core Formation before you, won¡¯t you feel even more pressure?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely not.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shook her head with full confidence, the sixty-year limit on the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine in the Immortal Sect was a certainty, she would definitely reach Core Formation before Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai did not mention the possibility of her failing to reach Core Formation, as that would be a bit too lacking in in emotional intelligence.


    As for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, he had no plans to obtain it from the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving, call me if you need anything. White Stone, you still need to work harder, the resonance degree is still useful for the Purple Electric Sword.¡±

    At this point, the two of them had flown to the middle of the sword handle, and Chen Mobai¡¯s residence was just a little further away. Pei Qingshuang did not escort him all the way, and bid her farewell here.


    ¡°Yes, after watching your demonstration, I¡¯ve understood the trick. Releasing five streams of sword qi should be no problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually replied, some problems are just that simple. Once punctured, the mindset opens up hugely.


    ¡°What I like is your self-assured attitude.¡±


    Leaving behind these words, Pei Qingshuang flew away contentedly.

 Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_1

    Chapter 691: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_1


    Half a month later, Chen Mobai looked at the white stone shimmering with the brilliance of the Five Elements in his palm, nodding his head in satisfaction.


    With his exceptional realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, having known the knack and after a period of exploring, he was naturally able to infuse all the Five Elements Sword Qi into a white stone.


    Having accomplished this, it was in Chen Mobai¡¯s nature to immediately hand it over to Hao Cao.


    Of course, he also didn¡¯t forget to bring along Pei Qingshuang, because being able to do so was largely thanks to her teaching without reservation.


    ¡°Have you considered specializing in Sword Dao?¡±


    Having examined the white stone infused with the Five Elements Sword Qi, Hao Cao gave a slight nod, then asked Chen Mobai this question.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always been practicing Sword Dao, but besides Sword Dao, I also don¡¯t want to give up on charms and puppets.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew clearly how he achieved his current state in Sword Dao Realm, once he specializes in Sword Dao, his true nature might be exposed soon. Therefore, he answered the way a genius should ¨C he wanted everything.


    ¡°One¡¯s energy is limited, only by focusing and specializing can one reach the pinnacle.¡±


    It was Hao Cao¡¯s first time encountering a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius like Chen Mobai. He still wanted to try his best to guide him onto the right path of Sword Dao.


    ¡°Although that is said, I haven¡¯t yet felt my own energy limits. If I feel overwhelmed one day in the future, I may give up the other two and concentrate only on Sword Dao.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Hao Cao was cherishing his exceptional talent in Sword Light Shapeshifting since his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he was very polite in his words.


    ¡°Alright, figure it out yourself. However, when dealing with the great bottlenecks of Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation, you¡¯ll be troubled for a long time. You have outstanding talent. Besides Sword Dao, it is also appropriate to study some other Hundred Immortal Skills.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Hao Cao was a Rank-3 Artifact Refiner himself, who had also studied at Dance Tool Dao Academy. If the cultivators had a chance to forge a Rank-4 sword-artifact in recent years, he might have received the Rank-4 professional certificate a while ago.


    ¡°Teacher, should we go to the Purple Electric Sword side, to test the resonance degree?¡±


    At this time, Pei Qingshuang reminded.


    During the previous selection phase, this process was conducted by the teachers of Shanhai Academy, and Pei Qingshuang was one of them.


    However, after the appearance of the white stone with Bai Guang¡¯s fourteen Sword Qi, Hao Cao had to personally handle the matter himself.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    After Hao Cao said this, he waved his sleeve and led them towards the last thousand-foot stone sword.


    This place was the world-famous Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy.


    It held over half of the top-notch flying swords within the cultivation world.


    The Sword Tower had five floors, which were classified according to the grade of the flying swords.


    The first floor housed Rank-1 swords, amounting to tens of thousands. However, only one-fifth of these were forged by Shanhai Academy itself.


    The rest were sent over by various Sword Cultivators after their physical decay, hoping Shanhai Academy could help find suitable successors.


    Due to the overwhelming amount of Rank-1 flying swords, Shanhai Academy ceased collecting them a hundred years ago.


    The Rank-1 flying swords currently displayed in the Sword Tower were essentially all high-quality ones within Rank-1 categorization.


    The highest fifth floor was where the Sea-settling Sword resided.


    The Purple Electric Sword was on the fourth floor.


    Chen Mobai accompanied Hao Cao, climbing up the staircase from the bottom, one floor at a time.


    It seemed the Sword Tower had rules against flying. During their ascent, Chen Mobai saw numerous flying swords of weird shapes and sizes.


    The first floor of the Sword Tower was brimming. The vast space of several dozen feet in height was covered with rows of flying swords, some even marked for reservation, indicating they¡¯d be taken away soon.


    Shanhai Academy selects more than ten Rank-1 Flying Swords and one Rank-2 Flying Sword from the Sword Tower every month, selling them on their flagship store on the Immortal Portal at very low Good Deed Points prices.


    For them, helping the flying swords find suitable masters mattered more than earning Good Deed Points.


    The price for a Rank-1 flying sword was 10,000 Good Deed Points, and a Rank-2 sword only required 100,000.


    You should know that when Chen Mobai purchased Luan Jingsheng¡¯s Five Transformations Umbrella, it had also cost him almost tens of thousands Good Deed Points.


    Even the worst sword offered from the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy far surpassed the original version of the Five Transformations Umbrella.


    ¡°When I was young, I also dreamed of having a flying sword, unfortunately I never got the chance.¡±


    Chen Mobai talked with Pei Qingshuang beside him.


    As the most fashionable profession, sword cultivation was always most popular in the cultivation world.


    Who doesn¡¯t want to own a flying sword?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s initial money-saving goal was to accumulate 10,000 Good Deed Points so he could buy a flying sword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Our childhood dreams were the same, I¡¯ve saved enough Good Deed Points to buy a Rank-2 flying sword, but never got the opportunity. So I came here to university instead. Shanhai Academy students can receive a flying sword for free as soon as they enroll. I saved this opportunity to get the approval of the Qing Shuang Sword after getting to Foundation Establishment.¡±


    While Pei Qingshuang talked, she proudly patted the handle of the sword at her waist. Chen Mobai just smiled and kept silent.


    He didn¡¯t recognize her second-generation lifestyle.


    The difficulty she faced in acquiring the Qing Shuang Sword couldn¡¯t be compared with his own.


    The second floor of the Sword Tower was also almost full ¨C with about a thousand Rank-2 swords, all high-quality ones within the second rank.

 Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_2

    Chapter 692: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_2


    In a quick glance, Chen Mobai spotted over a dozen flying swords better in quality than his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Soon, they arrived on the third floor.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes wide, wanting to see exactly how many Rank-3 flying swords were in the Sword Tower.


    Unfortunately, the Rank-3 flying swords were not as easily accessible or visibly displayed as those on the two lower floors. Instead, they were all sealed within one sword box or sword bag after another.


    Chen Mobai carefully counted¨Cthere were thirty-seven in total.


    But were those sword boxes and bags truly filled, or were they empty?


    He asked Pei Qingshuang next to him, but she shook her head, saying that storing and nurturing the swords above the third floor were personally done by Hao Cao.


    Pei Qingshuang had spent quite some time on the fourth floor and once considered opening other sword boxes out of boredom. Unfortunately, she could only open the box containing her Qing Shuang sword.


    While the two conversed, they finally reached the fourth floor.


    Seeing the four sword boxes and two sword bags levitating against the wall, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be slightly shocked.


    Were there really six Rank-4 swords in the Sword Tower?


    ¡°That sword box used to contain my Qing Shuang sword, but it¡¯s empty now,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, pointing to a dark green sword box covered in frost patterns.


    That said, were there only five Rank-4 swords left? One or possibly more of the boxes could be empty, with only the Purple Electric Sword remaining.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, Hao Cao approached a deep purple sword box. He performed a simple hand seal, and the box opened.


    A wash of purple light appeared, revealing a longsword about 1.2 meters long to Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    What caught his eye the most though, was the Spirit Stone next to the Purple Electric Sword. A pure stream of Spiritual Energy continuously poured into the sword, seemingly nourishing it.


    Chen Mobai was unsure of the grade of the Spirit Stone and dared not carelessly probe it with his Divine Sense. However, since Pei Qingshuang surely knew, he asked her.


    ¡°That¡¯s a high-grade Spirit Stone subsidized by the Immortal Sect. A single stone can sustain the requirements of the Purple Electric Sword for ten years,¡± she replied.


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai relaxed and started to admire the Rank-4 sword.


    A round handle with cloud patterns, long, narrow blade¨Cthe design was simple yet elegant.


    The blade had eight faces and two degrees of curvature, making it straight and proper. It looked plain and unpretentious yet exuded a sense of dignity and majesty.


    Hao Cao placed the White Stone next to the Purple Electric Sword. He then entered a series of codes into a screen on the inside of the box, causing the Purple Electric Sword to flicker.


    ¡°Resonance degree of 25%.¡±


    Upon seeing the number displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai found it fascinating.


    This experience was similar to his first time using the formless mannequin back at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°In the resonance degree, the Sword Qi from the White Stone accounts for half. However, when I initially set it up, I configured that ten strands of Sword Qi would be the full score. So your five strands represent this 25%,¡± Hao Cao explained.


    ¡°The remaining 50% includes Thunder method, sword technique, Spiritual Root, and more.¡±


    ¡°Reach out your hand and grab the hilt according to my instructions, then display your Thunder method¡­¡±


    Hao Cao guided Chen Mobai to come over, explaining the details of the Resonance System to him. This was a test that was usually conducted in the final round.


    However, for the final four candidates, an early attempt did not break any rules.


    Following Hao Cao¡¯s guidance, Chen Mobai extended his hands and gripped the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword in the box.


    The rounded hilt still had some space left even when held with both hands. Without the wrapping of the Spiritual Rope, the feel was smooth and cool to the touch.


    Sizzle!


    Accompanying the eruption of Yi Wood Divine Thunder from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips, the dormant Purple Electric Sword seemed to awaken, with purple arcs of light appearing on its blade.


    Chen Mobai felt the Divine Thunder he channeled being absorbed by the sword hilt, but he dared not stop as Hao Cao had not yet given the command. He could only secretly stimulate his Longevity Spiritual Power to keep the thunder manifesting.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai felt that more than half of the Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea had been consumed. He didn¡¯t want to risk exposing his perfect Foundation Establishment level of his Longevity Spiritual Power by continuing like this.


    Upon a moment of contemplation, he thought it was better to be cautious. He signaled to Hao Cao standing next to him that his spiritual power was almost exhausted.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hao Cao disconnected Chen Mobai from the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Don¡¯t we need to test the Sword Dao Realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai took a moment to recover, pretending to have regained his power. Seeing Hao Cao about to close the sword box of the Purple Electric Sword, he couldn¡¯t help but inquire curiously.


    ¡°The Sword Qi within the White Stone can estimate your Sword Dao Realm, but the crux lies in the final round, the communication with the spirituality of the Purple Electric Sword. All your spiritual root talent and sword cultivation will be sensed clearly by the Purple Electric Sword at that time in the Sea of Consciousness, so there¡¯s no need for it this time.¡±


    Before closing the sword box, Hao Cao gestured Chen Mobai to look at the numbers on the screen.


    Resonance Degree 33%.


    This score was already superior to Ruan Zixiu, the Core Formation sword cultivator of Shanhai Academy. However, Hao Cao kept a calm face, apparently not surprised at all.


    ¡°Your talent in the Thunder Method is indeed extraordinary. It¡¯s just a pity that the attribute of Yi Wood Divine Thunder is different from that of Purple Sky Divine Thunder, so it only added 8%.¡±


    After explaining the issue of resonance to Chen Mobai, Hao Cao led them towards the fifth floor.


    Pei Qingshuang had mentioned earlier that Chen Mobai wanted to pay his respects to the Sea-settling Sword.


    Such request would definitely be catered to by Hao Cao.


    The whole fifth floor was empty.


    Only in the center was a nearly two-meter-long rectangular piece of jade, which was slightly transparent, and it was faintly visible that a cyan longsword was sealed inside.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a Spirit Stone!?¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Hao Cao to the long rectangular jade, slightly puzzled, he asked.


    He was very familiar with spirit stones, but he could not sense any spiritual energy from this stone, it was like a common piece of jade.


    However, common spirit-providing equipment was simply not enough to nourish high-grade magic artifacts in the Immortal Sect, and spirit stones were usually used.


    ¡°Yes, this is a top-grade Spirit Stone of the Immortal Sect, transformed into the Sword Box for the Sea-Settling Sword, but it can only last for sixty years.¡±


    Upon hearing about the top-grade spirit stone, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened.


    Even in the entire Eastern Wilderness, one could not find a top-grade spirit stone. It was unexpected that the Immortal Sect possessed such resources.


    The price of a single top-grade spirit stone roughly converted to the good deed points of the Immortal Sect would amount to 10 billion.


    And this was just enough to maintain the Sea-Settling Sword for sixty years.


    No wonder Gongye Zhixu was willing to invest the Primordial Yang Sword into the expansion of the Little Red Sky. The Pure Yang Academy could not even utter a word against it.


    Without the subsidy of the Immortal Sect, a university like theirs could hardly sustain a Rank-5 high-grade flying sword!


    After paying respect to the Sea-settling Sword, Chen Mobai left the Sword Tower with inexplicable feelings.


    Originally, he thought he had already amassed a fortune by setting up a puppet factory. Now, he realized he was still a bit poor.


    He wondered if he could coax this Rank-4 Sword over by promising the Purple Electric Sword ten times the spirit stone treatment?


    As Chen Mobai pondered about raising the offer to twenty times the usual, someone came to visit him unexpectedly.


    ¡°Yan Feng?¡±


    Seeing the person at the door, Chen Mobai looked surprised. The old rival during the Danxia City entrance exam, who had already successfully established his foundation and was considered brilliant amongst his peers, yet when compared to himself, seemed rather mediocre.


    ¡°I heard that the top student of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy had arrived. Considering we come from the same city, I thought of paying a visit. Do you need me to show you around Shanhai Academy or the White Stone Cave Sky?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Feng politely greeted Chen Mobai, seemingly devoid of the resentment he held when he lost the enrollment examination to him. His eyes and attitude demonstrated respect.


    ¡°Thank you, but Pei Qingshuang has already shown me around.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Pei Qingshuang? Only someone like you, who is the pride of heaven, would be a match for her.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai felt a bit strange.


    ¡°Wait a minute, what do you mean by that? What do you mean ¡®a match for her¡¯?¡±

 Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_1

    Chapter 693: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_1


    ¡°The legend of the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang is well known. If you become the master of the Purple Electric Sword, wouldn¡¯t that make you a perfect match with Teacher Pei Qingshuang?¡±


    Yan Feng said with surprise. In the eyes of the cultivators, the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang were definitely a pair.


    ¡°Ah, let¡¯s not mention that again. It¡¯s one thing for me as a man, but Senior Pei is pure and unblemished. If we spread this rumor, wouldn¡¯t it harm her reputation?¡±


    Chen Mobai was always considerate of the reputation of women. He immediately set his attitude straight when he saw hints of such gossip appearing.


    ¡°I admire your noble character, Brother Chen.¡±


    Yan Feng couldn¡¯t help but show respect after hearing his words.


    The information within the cultivators¡¯ circle was quite transparent. Anyone with a mind to search could find out about Pei Qingshuang¡¯s background.


    Even when there was a chance that he might possess the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai respectfully distanced himself from her. This made Yan Feng, who already held him in high regard, admire him even more.


    ¡°Most of the last few rounds of our generation¡¯s entrance exam takers have reached the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The two began to talk about the past.


    Their generation was considered to be one of the golden periods in the history of Red Sandstone City. Among the students who graduated, Chen Mobai, Qing Women, Yan Feng, Gong Xiangyu, Shi Yuanqing, and Cao Yaling have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    Among them, Chen Mobai and Qing Women are Daoist seeds of the Daoist Academy and are basically considered to have no obstacles to Core Formation.


    Besides these six, there are two more Different Spiritual Root geniuses, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, who have already been dismissed by the cultivators.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    The last time Red Sandstone City had such outstanding students was a hundred years ago during the era of the Red Robed truth seeker Yu Tianguang.


    If Chen Mobai and Qing Women can reach Core Formation, then the value of their class will instantly surpass that of the Red Robed truth seeker¡¯s era, making them the best class in Red Sandstone City over the past thousand years.


    A thousand years ago, Red Sandstone City produced a Gold Core Perfection cultivator named Yan Canzhang. Although he failed in his Transforming Infant, he was still hailed as the most outstanding cultivator since the establishment of this blessed land, Red Sandstone City.


    This Yan Canzhang was Yan Feng¡¯s ancestor and also a graduate of the Mountain Sea Academy.


    Yan Feng coming here was also seen as following the path of his ancestors.


    ¡°So that¡¯s why you had the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a flash of realization on his face after talking about Yan Canzhang with Yan Feng.


    ¡°In fact, before my ancestor passed away, he left behind hundreds of Heaven Heart Sword Talismans. After I used that one, there are still more than a dozen in my family. However, to sell at a higher price, we declared to the outside that they were all the last ones.¡±


    Yan Feng laughed as he spoke of this.


    In the cultivators¡¯ circle, the inheritance is orderly. Before the powerful cultivators pass away, they usually leave enough wealth for their descendants to cultivate for several generations.


    For instance, the ancestor Zhongli left behind a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, a dose of Infant-Transforming Elixir. If their descendants were promising, every generation could reach the Nascent Soul stage, enough to sustain the lineage for ten thousand years.


    Although Yan Canzhang was just a Gold Core cultivator, he was still considered a master talisman maker of the Rank-4.


    The Heaven Heart Sword Talisman was his masterpiece.


    Before he passed away, despite having almost emptied his wealth for longevity, he still possessed the skill to draw talismans.


    A hundred Heaven Heart Sword Talismans were the wealth he left for his descendants.


    As one of the few ¡°ungraded¡± talisman designs within the cultivators¡¯ circle, a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman could be exchanged for a complete set of three treasures for Foundation Establishment.


    Because of this, every generation of the Yan family has had a True Cultivator who has reached Foundation Establishment since Yan Canzhang passed away a thousand years ago.


    ¡°Since the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman is so precious, why haven¡¯t the Yan family descendants tried to draw it on their own?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a commoner in Red Sandstone City before, so he didn¡¯t know of the Yan family¡¯s power. No wonder Yan Feng was considered the top contender during the entrance exams.


    Everyone expected him to be able to enter the four great Daoist Academies.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Feng gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, ¡°Although the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman is ungraded, the difficulty of drawing it is almost the same as that of a Rank-3 top-grade talisman. Although the Yan family has produced Rank-3 Talisman Makers, the success rate of drawing this talisman is less than one percent.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, to draw this talisman, one needs Rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman.¡±


    ¡°The Azure Sky Talisman Paper¡¯s raw material is the pulp of a Rank-3 Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, while the Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman¡¯s raw material is Rank-3 Ling Sha. My Yan family could afford to buy and produce them at our peak but now I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no factory producing this talisman paper and talisman ink in the whole cultivator¡¯s world.¡±


    The Heaven Heart Sword Talisman was a masterpiece completed by Yan Canzhang and another Rank-4 Talisman Maker from the Heavenly Book Academy. Hence, the method of drawing this talisman exists in the libraries of both academies. Of course, the Yan family must have Yan Canzhang¡¯s personal notes on drawing the talisman.


    Despite this, over the past thousand years, no cultivator in the Yan family has come to fully master the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    ¡°I see¡­¡±


    Listening to Yan Feng¡¯s exposition, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. He immediately took out his smartphone and searched for information about the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman on the Talisman Maker Association forum.

    Soon, a complete set of data and video tutorials on how to blend the talisman paper and ink and the drawing method of the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman appeared.


    The president of the Talisman Maker Association is the principal of the Heavenly Book Academy and the only Rank-5 Talisman maker, Yu Yi.


    Therefore, it¡¯s perfectly normal for the Talisman Maker Association to have complete information on this talisman.


    There were many posts related to the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman on the forum, documenting the various difficulties encountered when drawing this talisman.


    Talisman paper and ink of Rank-3 and above were basically custom-made.

 Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_2

    Chapter 694: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_2


    The Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman, due to their materials being sourced from Red Sandstone City, were mainly produced in the talisman factories nearby.


    However, the factories here are mediocre, and there are no Talisman Masters left who can manufacture the rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman.


    Even in the past, only the cultivators from the Yan family were skilled enough to do so.


    This is why Yan Feng had said that none in the Immortal Sect could produce these anymore, as only his retired, Foundation Establishment uncle in their family still held these skills.


    But now, this elder from the Yan family is retired and maintaining his health and longevity.


    After bidding Yan Feng goodbye, Chen Mobai started contemplating about making Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman his next target once his talisman factory was on track.


    If he managed to earn the rank of a Rank-3 Talisman Maker, he could consider making the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman his next ambition.


    After all, if these items were introduced to the Eastern Wilderness, they would definitely yield a lot of Spirit Stones.


    Maintaining occasional contact with old classmates could be quite beneficial, he thought, as it even provided ideas for becoming rich.


    While thinking about this, Chen Mobai remembered Yan Bingxuan.


    He knew everything about the situation of the Purple Electric Sword here, and he decided to return to Crimson City first as the final round was not until the end of the year.


    Then, he could go to the Eastern Wilderness to see if he could purchase any Water Mist Ice Crystals. After all, Yan Bingxuan must be aiming for a Foundation Establishment attempt this year after obtaining Snow Spirit Water.


    Even if she did fail, she would still have a chance next year.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Meng Huang has understood the threshold method. If she could establish her foundation soon, it would relieve a worry for Chen Mobai too.


    But just when Chen Mobai was about to take his leave, Pei Qingshuang suddenly informed him that the final round had been brought forward.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Mobai was a little confused.


    ¡°To avoid any unnecessary complications, and since the four of you are all present in the Sea and Mountain Academy, we thought it best not to waste time and go for it directly,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, shrugging.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that the academy was being overly cautious. There¡¯s no way a second Divinity Transformation reincarnation could possibly disturb their final round, not after Hao Cao had eliminated Bai Guang¡¯s reincarnation.


    But since the academy, the organizer, had made this decision, which was also harmless to them, Chen Mobai naturally did not oppose it.


    ¡°When is the final round?¡± Chen Mobai asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°In seven days, the twelve unparalleled Sword Cultivation geniuses selected by teacher Hao Cao will rush here. Then, the sixteen of you will be subjected to the choice of the Purple Electric Sword,¡± Pei Qingshuang explained. After she finished, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that he was prepared.


    After all, in terms of cultivation level, he had no chance of surpassing those three Gold Core Real Persons within a year. So, this arrangement was even better for him.


    It¡¯s up to the Purple Electric Sword now, if it liked Spirit Stones or not.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let me down,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, her eyes swirling, as she prepared to leave, making Chen Mobai slightly frown.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± He wanted to say more, but confronted with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s clear, strong gaze, he could only say this much.


    [But aren¡¯t we not that close?] He watched her slender figure disappearing, and couldn¡¯t help but wonder.


    Nevertheless, he quickly put these trivial matters aside and started to prepare wholeheartedly for the upcoming final round of the Purple Electric Sword selection.


    As it was unfamiliar territory for him here at the Sea and Mountain Academy, he didn¡¯t dare to take out his storage bag and teleport to the Eastern Wilderness.


    It¡¯s been a while since he had contacted Meng Huang, so he decided to visit her in the hotel where she lived.


    Originally, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s character, after Meng Huang had mastered the threshold method, their relationship should have returned to what it was, before their trade agreement.


    In the hotel where she stayed, to avoid any suspicions, he had rented a separate room for himself.


    After setting up a talisman in the room to block prying eyes, he took out all the Spirit Stones from his storage bag.


    The most precious of them were, of course, the five superior quality Spirit Stones.


    These stones were supposed to be used for the Pure Yang Purple Qi cultivation of the formless puppet, but Chen Mobai thought that, if he used all the superior Spirit Stones, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fully utilise the puppet¡¯s foundation level strength in case of a formidable enemy in the future.


    Moreover, the Pure Yang Purple Qi didn¡¯t really have much of an effect on him currently, so after cultivating half a gourd¡¯s worth of it, almost one unit, he decisively stopped this activity.


    Apart from these five superior Spirit Stones, there were also the raw Spirit Stones he had obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    This massive Spirit Stone contained about as much spiritual energy as three to four superior Spirit Stones. But because Chen Mobai had drawn some of it when consuming the Immortal Peach, it was now roughly equivalent to less than three superior quality Spirit Stones.


    But Chen Mobai felt that, this would be the best welcoming gift for the Purple Electric Sword.


    After all, the raw ore Spirit Stone was gigantic in size, it allows the Purple Electric Sword to immerse wholeheartedly in the bath of Spiritual Energy. In terms of the treatment, besides Spirit Stone¡¯s grade, perhaps only the Sea-settling Sword would enjoy this kind of luxury.


    After considering the treatment for the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was about to return to the Little South Mountain when suddenly, he received a text message on his phone.


    It was from Meng Huang.


    [Is it convenient for you to come over now?]


    Chen Mobai read it, a little puzzled, so he asked: [Should I come to you or you come to me?]


    Meng Huang: [Either is fine.]


    Chen Mobai: [Then come over to me, I¡¯m drawing talismans in my room, it¡¯s more discreet and safe.]


    Soon after, there was a knock on the door.


    Chen Mobai got up to open the door, but before he could say anything, the fiery and charming figure had already slipped into his arms, and the long white legs in high heels had already closed the door.


    Afterward.


    Back at the Mountain Sea Academy, Chen Mobai was filled with sighs.


    If he had known things would turn out like this, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have gone to Meng Huang¡¯s house, it was a complete waste of an entire night.


    However, since it was all said and done, he could only learn his lesson and try not to make the same mistake next time.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai shook his head, clearing all the distracting images in his mind that were not conducive to cultivation, and began to await the final round of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Soon, twelve peerless Sword Cultivation Geniuses arrived at the White Stone Cave Mansion, as arranged by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Eh, why is it you guys?¡±


    Chen Mobai would never have thought that among these twelve peerless Sword Cultivation Geniuses, there were two acquaintances.


    They both came to visit him at the same time after hearing that he was here.


    ¡°I thought it was fun when I first saw it so I sent a piece of White Stone.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu said with a faint hint of pride on his face.


    He had just learned the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art, and the Purple Thunder Dharma was derived from it. It took him three days to train the Purple Vault Sword Qi and another three days to figure out the method to infuse it into the White Stone.


    He initially sent it to the Mountain Sea Academy just for the fun of it, but he didn¡¯t expect to be selected by Hao Cao as a Sword Cultivation Genius.


    This inflated Zhongli Tianyu, who was already arrogant. He even began to wonder if he had misdirected his talent for the first twenty years of his life. If he had focused on the Sword Dao from the beginning, could he have beaten Chen Mobai now!


    ¡°You, this fellow¡­¡±


    For some reason, seeing the arrogant and triumphant Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai felt an itch in his fists.


    ¡°Mr. President, actually I just wanted to verify my sword cultivation level. After learning about the White Stone, I gave it a try, but I didn¡¯t expect to be chosen.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai also never thought that he would receive a personal reply and invitation from the principal of the Mountain Sea Academy for the White Stone he had casually sent at the beginning of the year.


    ¡°How many Sword Qis did you infuse?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that compared to him, this foundation establishment cultivator in front of him was a real Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Therefore, he felt that Hao Cao¡¯s selection of Zhai Jianbai as one of the twelve was proof of his good judgment.


    ¡°Two.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai answered honestly and even took out his own white stone.


    ¡°Eh, I thought this thing could only infuse one?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, who was standing aside, looked at the white stone in Zhai Jianbai¡¯s hand, which had two different colors of golden light, and couldn¡¯t help but look puzzled.


    ¡°It appears you were chosen because the Purple Vault Sword Qi closely aligns with the essence of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    After explaining the principle of the White Stone, Chen Mobai did not hesitate to criticize Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°How many did you infuse?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhongli Tianyu seemed a little unconvinced and asked another question.


    ¡°Not that many, just five.¡±


    These casual words from Chen Mobai made Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s face fall.


    ¡°Excuse me, is senior Chen Mobai here?¡±


    At this moment, the third peerless Sword Cultivation Genius chosen by Hao Cao arrived.

 Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: Chapter 421: The Final Round _1

    Chapter 695: Chapter 421: The Final Round _1


    The young girl at the door was also someone Chen Mobai knew.


    She had snow-white skin, delicate features, almond-shaped eyes filled with vitality, and long black hair tied up with a light-colored hairband, making her look upright and pure.


    HHer light pink long-sleeved blouse could not hide her full curves, below her slim waist was a red and black checkered skirt that tightly adhered to her plump thigh curves, extending down. She wore round-toed leather shoes and her beautiful long legs were wrapped in a thin layer of black stockings, which were straight and symmetrical, the faint visibility of her flesh-tone making her look even more innocent and charming.


    ¡°You¡­ are you also participating in the final round?¡±


    Seeing the stunning Wanyu at the door, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    ¡°Yes, my friend saw the advertisement for the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s selection process, and since I¡¯m practicing Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean at the academy, they suggested I try. I sent over a White Stone imbued with Sword Qi, not expecting it to be chosen by Master Hao Cao for the final round.¡±


    Wanyu herself was quite surprised by her good luck and initially thought there was a mix-up from the Mountain Sea Academy.


    It wasn¡¯t until it was confirmed several times, that the renowned Master Hao Cao had personally reviewed and selected her, that she excitedly boarded the train to White Stone Cave Heaven.


    When she arrived, she heard that Chen Mobai was also one of the sixteen names in the final round.


    Considering how well they chatted during holidays, they could be considered friends, so she decided to ask her teacher at Mountain Sea Academy for his address and pay him a visit.


    ¡°So it seems we are competitors.¡±


    Chen Mobai said jokingly and then invited Wanyu in. She blushed slightly but was surprised to find two unfamiliar young men inside when she came in.


    ¡°This is Zhongli Tianyu, this is Zha Jianbai, both are my schoolmates from Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°This is my good friend,Wanyu from the Starlight Institute.¡±


    As the host, Chen Mobai naturally had to introduce the three to each other. The two men, with their deep cultivation levels, had already heard the conversation at the door.


    ¡°Someone from the Qi Cultivating Realm made it to the final round?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu spoke quite directly, looking at Wanyu with a slight frown. Although those in the cultivation community did not check each other¡¯s Cultivation Levels, the huge gap between realms was still noticeable.


    His words were a tad belittling.


    Hearing this, Wanyu¡¯s complexion paled slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of anger.


    ¡°In the final round, eight of them are Qi Practitioners.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly announced. He had known from Pei Qingshuang that among the sixteen contestants in the final round, eight were Qi Practitioners, three were at Core Formation stage, and five were in their Foundation Establishment stage.


    The point was to proclaim that this selection was truly fair and just, that cultivators of all realms had a chance.


    After all, there were more than 200 million Qi Practitioners in the cultivation community. This data could greatly boost the morale of the public.


    ¡°Oh, really?¡±


    Taken aback by the information, Zhongli Tianyu looked at Wanyu more carefully.


    In his view, the Sword Qi of the Qi Cultivating Realm was certainly inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, since Master Hao Cao had chosen eight Qi Practitioners out of thousands of White Stones, it meant that the Sword Qi of these eight practitioners had their own unique aspects, which were at least comparable to the Foundation Establishment practitioners in some areas.


    The mystery and secrets behind this intrigued Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Could I see your Sword Qi?¡±


    Caught off guard by Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s straightforward request, Wanyu was somewhat at a loss.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any White Stone on me.¡±


    Wanyu spoke the truth. Although White Stone was not precious to them, it was an extra Good Deed Points expenditure for a Qi Practitioner.


    After she had inscribed her Sword Qi, Wanyu hadn¡¯t bothered purchasing any more White Stones.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Chen here has plenty.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu pointed to a basket in the corner. Pei Qingshuang had brought these from Hao Cao¡¯s Sword Grinding Room. Chen Mobai had used less than half to infuse five Sword Qis, and the rest had been left in the corner.


    ¡°Then¡­ I should learn a lot.¡±


    Seeing this unfold, Wanyu could only agree. Just as she was about to head to the corner and pick up a White Stone to demonstrate her Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean, she was stopped by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s Sword Qi is a secret, related to the final choice of the Purple Electric Sword, you don¡¯t have to do this.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s character was nothing personal, but still felt it was a bit hard on others. However, to save face for both parties, Chen offered a perfectly valid reason.


    ¡°This was my impudence.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Thinking it over, Zhongli Tianyu realized that was indeed the case and immediately apologized to Wanyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I knew I wasn¡¯t going to be the one chosen by the Purple Electric Sword the moment I found out senior brother Chen Mobai was participating.¡±


    Wanyu, quite clear-minded about herself, waved her hand with a light smile to suggest that her Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean was not anything significant after Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s apology.


    ¡°But since I haven¡¯t mastered my Sword Qi, I need to meditate for three days and three nights to infuse a complete set. So I probably won¡¯t be able to show you guys until after three days.¡±


    As she spoke, Wanyu had already picked up a piece of white stone from the basket and, with her twinkling moon-shaped eyes, she smiled and explained.

 Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: Chapter 421: The Final Round_2

    Chapter 696: Chapter 421: The Final Round_2


    ¡°It¡¯s a rare treat to meet old friends in a foreign place. I arrived here a few days earlier and found a good seafood restaurant in Shanhai Academy. Let me play host today and treat you all.¡±


    Seeing the relaxed atmosphere among the three old acquaintances, Chen Mobai also invited with a smile.


    Naturally, no one objected.


    As the Shanhai Academy is situated on a cliff by the sea, the daily fresh produce is always exceptionally delicious.


    Pei Qingshuang had once introduced Chen Mobai to the most popular restaurants here; he had hence become quite familiar with them.


    After the four of them had eaten, they prepared to go their separate ways.


    ¡°I will take advantage of the last few days to seriously practice the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art. None of you should disturb me.¡±


    Before Zhongli Tianyu left, he spoke gravely.


    To others, last-minute cramming might not be useful, but for a genius like him, a few days could be enough to further deepen his understanding of this sword technique.


    ¡°Rest assured, I assure you I won¡¯t be visiting.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who knew Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s quirky thinking, rolled his eyes and waved him away.


    ¡°As a holy land for the Sword Cultivators of the immortal gates, Shanhai Academy has a vast array of sword techniques and swordsmanship. I don¡¯t have any great expectations for the Purple Electric Sword. Instead, I could seek out a couple of peers in the training grounds to have a good discussion about the Sword Dao.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai was a very practical person, and he greatly admired Chen Mobai. He clearly understood that his swordsmanship talent was a mere fraction of that of Chen Mobai, the chief of the Daoist Academy. Since he would be participating, it was an opportunity for Zhai Jianbai to broaden his knowledge and learn from the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators of Shanhai Academy.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Alright then, make sure you both keep track of time and don¡¯t miss the last day of interaction with the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai also cared for these two. After all, as the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was his duty and responsibility to take care of them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back on my own then, so I don¡¯t disturb the three seniors.¡±


    Shi Wanyu, who listened to the conversation between the three, understood the hint and proposed to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you off. I still owe you a lipstick. There¡¯s a shopping street on the Giant Stone Sword of Shanhai Academy, we can go and see if there¡¯s anything suitable for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought of this issue as soon as he saw Shi Wanyu.


    It seemed like he had been owing this favour for over eight years. Although they had contact during holidays and other occasions, because of various engagements, he hadn¡¯t found the time to invite her out.


    Meeting her at Shanhai Academy today seemed like a perfect opportunity to settle this long pending matter.


    On hearing this, Shi Wanyu¡¯s seemingly radiant face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, pinching the hem of her dress.


    Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shared a glance, and were reminded of their chief¡¯s notorious reputation in the academy.


    Initially, they didn¡¯t believe it, but after witnessing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears, they couldn¡¯t help but believe.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, just relax. I¡¯ll fly you there.¡±


    Knowing that Shi Wanyu has not reached Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai gently unfolded his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and extended his hand to invite her.


    Watching the two figures fly away in the misty clouds, both Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shook their heads simultaneously.


    ¡°Let¡¯s pretend we did not see anything, after all, it is also our academy¡¯s face!¡±


    Zhai Jianbai said softly to Zhongli Tianyu, eliciting a dismissing look from the latter.


    ¡°Do I look like the kind of person who gossips behind someone¡¯s back? Besides, the more he is infatuated with women, the better it is for me. As long as he slows down a little, with my talent, I will catch up to him one day.¡±


    Indeed, the way Zhongli Tianyu thought was rather different from Zhai Jianbai the ¡®ordinary person¡¯.


    Chen Mobai had no idea that his casual invitation had sparked such strange conjectures in the minds of these two, taking into account the rumors about him circulating in the academy.


    ¡°How does this one look?¡±


    At a shop in the commercial street of Shanhai Academy, Shi Wanyu applied a high-shine, bright-coloured lipstick and pursed her lips. Her snow-white face turned pink. Her lips, coated with a transparent glossy lipstick, opened slightly towards Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai looked at the radiant young woman with her rosy cheeks and cherry lips revealing pearly teeth. He couldn¡¯t help but remember the time when they first met.


    Time seemed to have left no trace on her.


    More than eight years had passed, but she still retained her pure and charming aura, full of youthful energy. Being with her made Chen Mobai feel revived and energetic.


    ¡°Very pretty!¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely admired. Under the glossy lipstick, Shi Wanyu¡¯s rosy lips looked enticingly bright, absolutely matching her pure disposition.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Let¡¯s take this then.¡±


    Seeing the appreciation in Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, Shi Wanyu felt happy and a little shy. She closed the lipstick and handed it to the waiter.


    ¡°Bring two more of the same kind.¡±


    Chen Mobai ordered the waiter. On hearing this, Shi Wanyu immediately shook her head indicating one was enough, but when they left the store, she was joyfully carrying a small gift box containing three lipsticks of the same shade.


    At this moment, the setting sun graced the seaside with spectacular hues.

 Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: Chapter 421: The Final Round_3

    Chapter 697: Chapter 421: The Final Round_3


    ¡°It¡¯s truly beautiful.¡±


    Unconsciously, the two had walked to the edge of the stone sword spanning a hundred feet. Looking out at the vivid scene of the sea merging with the sky and the fiery sun partially concealed by the vast, misty waves in the distance, they couldn¡¯t help expressing their awe.


    ¡°May I take a photo with you?¡±


    Master Wanyu hesitated for a moment but eventually mustered up the courage to make this request to Chen Mobai as the evening glow was about to recede completely. Without hesitation, he nodded.


    ¡°It is my honor.¡±


    After hearing his response, Master Wanyu happily took out her cellphone. Using the Object Capturing Technique, she set the perfect angle and, with Chen Mobai, stood against the stunning backdrop of the evening glow while pressing the capture button.


    ¡°Thank you. This has been the happiest day of my life.¡±


    Looking at the image of the man and woman standing side by side on the screen, a blush still lingered on Master Wanyu¡¯s face as she shared her feelings with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m also very happy. Let¡¯s strive and cheer for each other during the final round.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with kind words and glances at the time. Seeing that it was getting late, he then rode together with the gleeful young girl into the setting sun, escorting her back to the lodging arranged by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    For Chen Mobai, this might have been their last encounter if Master Wanyu did not succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    Among the students of the 120 school districts, only those who could establish their foundations held positions equivalent to the school¡¯s top performers.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, Master Wanyu was of the same year as him, and with just a year and a half left, her hopes of Foundation Establishment were extremely slim.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Returning her three lipsticks today was a fitting end to their interactions.


    After doing this, Chen Mobai felt a sense of spiritual elevation. A Green Paulownia Seedling within his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion sprouted and merged into the central beryl wutong tree, resulting in a slight increase in his Divine Sense.


    Is this karma?


    Chen Mobai inexplicably recollected his initial encounter with the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion. She also seemed to establish bonds through karma. He wondered how much she would advance when their causal ties reach their conclusion?


    Time flew, and it was soon the final round of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master, as announced by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    Chen Mobai was chosen to interact with the Purple Electric Sword on the penultimate fourth day, the final part of the selection process.


    The ones before him were the twelve unparalleled Sword Dao geniuses, selected by Hao Cao, to cover up the reincarnation of the Holy Light Elder.


    Master Wanyu, who was weaker in cultivation, was arranged to be the third one. Before she entered the Sword Tower, she gifted Chen Mobai a Sword Bag. It was a craft item that she had bought when she was buying lipsticks at the business street.


    Compared to before, the palm-sized Sword Bag now had a circle of embroidery on it. The embroidered pattern was a sketch of their shared sunset photo.


    Inside the Sword Bag was a white stone infused with Master Wanyu¡¯s Streamer Sword Qi, which she said was a gift to celebrate Chen Mobai obtaining the Purple Electric Sword in advance.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and didn¡¯t refuse, politely accepting the Sword Bag.

    After their final interaction with the Purple Electric Sword, the sixteen Cultivators had to stay in their respective rooms, awaiting the finalist¡¯s walkout from the Sword Tower, which would announce the ultimate result.


    Soon, Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai exited the Sword Tower, and it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn.


    Since he had been there before, Hao Cao didn¡¯t accompany him this time, but merely taught him the mantra to open and close the Sword Box.


    At the entrance of the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai saw Pei Qingshuang who was waiting there. She didn¡¯t say much but just gave him a thumbs-up.


    Chen Mobai nodded and stepped in.

 Chapter 698 - Chapter 698: Chapter 422: Purple Electric Sword Recognizing its Owner_1

    Chapter 698: Chapter 422: Purple Electric Sword Recognizing its Owner_1


    Chen Mobai went straight to the fourth floor and opened the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s Sword Box.


    The luminous sword caught his eye, and compared to last time, the high-quality Spirit Stone beside it appeared slightly dimmer.


    The Purple Electric Sword had always been sealed, preserved at its lowest level of spiritual energy to prevent degradation.


    However, after the last round of the selection process began, Hao Cao unsealed the sword. Consequently, the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s demand for spiritual energy had greatly increased.


    The Spirit Stone was naturally spent more quickly and was almost exhausted.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai, as taught by Hao Cao, meditated, connecting his mind and heart with the Rank-4 sword.


    A beam of light burst from the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword, connecting with Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense.


    In an instant, purple light flickered.


    When Chen Mobai came back to his senses, he found himself in a mysterious space.


    Here, in a boundless expanse of nothingness, deep purple lightning pulsed. The Purple Electric Sword was diagonal in front of Chen Mobai. A purple-red radiance illuminated from the blade, forming a ball of light the size of a human head.


    The light ball manifested facial features, and then was shaped into a small round face. Its features were blurred, but those pair of clear azure eyes were sharp and cold, like a sword.


    In the Immortal Path, Rank-5 magic artifacts possess a complete spirit, almost indistinguishable from a human.


    As a Rank-4 sword, The Purple Electric Sword had evolved a spirit, but only had the simplest thinking. Even so, because it retained most of its previous owner¡¯s memories, basic thought processes were still intact.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°I pay respect to Elder Purple Electric Sword,¡± Chen Mobai bowed formally, treating it as an elder cultivator from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    [Reach out your hand and grasp the hilt.]


    The pair of azure eyes met Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, transmitting this message through an invisible ripple.


    Chen Mobai nodded, relaxed his mind, and reached out to grip the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword in this space.


    Immediately, a numb sensation spread throughout his body. His own body seemed to shatter under the effect of the wildly raging power of thunder and lightning. However, mere moments after destruction, a surge of vigorous life force reassembled his shattered body.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness had lapsed into unconsciousness from the intense pain at this moment.


    Seeing this, the Purple Electric Sword shook its head slightly.


    After who knows how many cycles of destruction and resurrection, Chen Mobai woke from the eternal darkness.


    Opening his eyes, he found himself sitting soundly on the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, while the Purple Electric Sword returned to its sheath, seemingly fallen back into slumber.


    Chen Mobai raised his hand, noticing that he wasn¡¯t torn apart by the power of thunder and lightning; it was likely a mysterious Sword Technique that directly affected his divine sense.


    But what about the outcome?


    Chen Mobai had not forgotten that his visit was to wield the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Elder? Elder Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    He called out twice to the sword kept in the sword box and even quoted the mantra taught by Hao Cao again. Yet, no response came.


    Is it over?


    [If the Purple Electric Sword does not respond anymore, it means that the synchronization has ended, and you can come out.]


    Chen Mobai remembered Hao Cao¡¯s words before he came in.


    He took out his phone to check the time and found that only half an hour had passed during the sword-holding synchronization.


    Everyone gets a day¡¯s time, and he felt there¡¯s still more he could do.


    Moreover, if he left so quickly, wouldn¡¯t people laugh at him?


    He reached out to grasp the Purple Electric Sword in the sword box, intending to draw it out. Suddenly, a potent purple light burst out from the hilt, pushing his right hand away.


    If the Purple Electric Sword did not intend to harm him, he feared that his palm would have turned into charred ashes from the blow.


    Chen Mobai hesitantly played his ace ¨C took out the gigantic raw Spirit Stone from his storage bag and presented it with both hands in front of the sword box.


    The Purple Electric Sword, which was as steady as a mountain, gave a slight shake.


    Chen Mobai reached out towards the sword box again. The potent purple light emerged again, but this time it didn¡¯t immediately push him away.


    Instead, it resisted, merely preventing his hand from touching itself.


    ¡°My name is Chen Mobai, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, with substantial family wealth.¡±


    ¡°Let this raw Spirit Stone be a token of my respect for Elder Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    ¡°If you are willing to serve me, I promise to offer such a high-quality Spirit Stone every year. The supply for this year, symbolic gestures for important days, could be sent in advance.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out five more high-quality Spirit Stones from his storage bag.


    Then he picked one of the high-quality stones with his left hand and presented it.

    The flickering purple light in front of the high-quality Spirit Stone began to recede inch by inch. It eventually stopped at the hilt, lingering for three breaths before completely opening.


    Chen Mobai placed the high-quality Spirit Stone on the other side of the Purple Electric Sword.


    The comparison between this untapped, gleaming, and fully-energized Spirit Stone and the other Spirit Stone provided by the Daoist Academy, which had been consumed and charged countless times, was like fresh flowers blooming after a rain shower versus scattered and withered flowers.


    When Chen Mobai placed this Spirit Stone inside the sword box, the last lingering light around the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword completely vanished.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai reached out his right hand and gently grasped the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword.

    Chapter 699: Chapter 422: The Purple Electric Sword Recognizes its Master_2


    Upon grabbing it, the Purple Electric Sword squirmed gently, as if struggling, but in the end it ceased resisting. It allowed Chen Mobai to hold it in his hands and lift it up.


    The Purple Electric Sword was embedded into a huge piece of Spirit Stone ore.


    An abundance of Spiritual Energy it had not experienced since it was forged caused the Purple Electric Sword to let out a clear chirping sound.


    [Is this for me?]


    The soundless chirp relayed a message to Chen Mobai, who gently nodded, signifying that the Purple Electric Sword was free to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore.


    [Too much, too full, too satisfying¡­]


    Unknown amount of time later, the Purple Electric Sword chirped again, delivering another message to Chen Mobai asking to be pulled out.


    After the sword returned to the Sword Box, Chen Mobai felt that nearly half of the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore had dimmed.


    Within a mere half hour, the Purple Electric Sword absorbed nearly the power of one-and-a-half high-grade Spirit Stones of immense Spiritual Energy¨Cmaking the long-famished sword feel the word ¡°satiety¡± for the first time.


    ¡°Senior Purple Electric Sword, if you are willing to join me, there¡¯s no need to exert yourself on a regular basis. You only need to help me when my life is in danger.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Stone remuneration remains the same as previously discussed: one high-grade Spirit Stone annually. If Senior has to make a move to save my life, there will also be an additional reward of several high-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if this is agreeable to Senior?¡±


    Having just gorged itself, the Purple Electric Sword was no longer haughty. On hearing this, it immediately responded.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    [Your offer is certainly the best among all, but I am a Rank-4 after all, and you are just in Foundation Establishment stage. If your Core Formation fails, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of my 200 years?]


    This time the Purple Electric Sword, once selects a master, it is certainly aiming to go further up, or at the very least, not wanting to regress.


    Being committed to a Gold Core cultivator, at least there¡¯s hope for that.


    But with Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Realm is a bit too low for it and would not be able to bring out even its minimum power.


    ¡°Though I¡¯m presently only at Foundation Establishment stage, I am rather confident about my own Core Formation. Senior, you must know my sect¡¯s limitation in procuring Gold Core Spiritual Material; how about we make a sixty-year contract?¡±


    ¡°If I don¡¯t reach Core Formation within sixty years, I will unconditionally terminate the contract with you. Whatever high-grade Spirit Stones supplied to you during this period will be considered as compensation for your lost time.¡±


    ¡°Senior, there aren¡¯t many people in the sect with a family background like mine. If you miss this opportunity, you won¡¯t get another one.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused when he finished speaking, and the Purple Electric Sword fell silent.


    [You can get it in writing. We can first agree on a letter of intent, and after I have interviewed the remaining few candidates, I will then make a final decision.]


    A considerable time later, this fluctuation came from the Purple Electric Sword, making Chen Mobai instantly happy.


    He immediately drafted all the terms previously mentioned, including a confidentiality clause, ensuring that just the two of them, Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword, knew about that conversation, and it must not be revealed to a third party.


    After both parties had made their pact, Chen Mobai retrieved the Spirit Stone ore and the high-grade Spirit Stone he had inserted into Sword Box back into his storage bag.


    Sighting of this by the three Gold Core cultivators who would be coming later might easily reveal the problem.


    The Purple Electric Sword appeared somewhat reluctant to part, but it knew that it had not officially chosen Chen Mobai as its master yet, and the favourable terms spoken just now were not yet at the stage of being honored.


    But having absorbed half of the Spirit Stone ore¡¯s abundant Spiritual Energy, it was satisfactorily satiated. So it let Chen Mobai take the stone back.


    After all, if he is chosen as its master, these will all be its future belongings.


    ¡°Senior, may I ask about the situation of the previous twelve candidates?¡±


    Seeing that there was still plenty of time left in the day, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t immediately leave the Sword Tower but sat down and chatted about everyday life with the Purple Electric Sword.


    [There was one with Thunder Spiritual Root who is very suitable for me. If I could merge with him, I should be able to reach the realm of my former master. However, he already has a more powerful magic artifact than me and is unwilling to give it up, so negotiations fell through.]


    He must be referring to Zhongli Tianyu, who has the Bagua Mirror. Even though it¡¯s currently incomplete, it was left by Zhongli ancestors, ranking innately above the Purple Electric Sword.


    [There was also a young man with a natural Sword Heart like my former master, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low¡­]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai wondered if he might be referring to Zha Jianbai.


    This actual Sword Cultivation Genius who heard of the Dao in Foundation Establishment was well-regarded by Zuo Gong and even considered potentially surpassing him.


    [Then there was another one who felt a bit strange. It felt like he could control me, but after testing him, I felt he was unworthy, but I wonder where you all found him, hidden so well.]


    Who was he talking about?


    Chen Mobai was confused, but at this point, the Purple Electric Sword had moved on to discussing the fourth, the fifth¡­


    All of the exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses chosen by Hao Cao, although a bit overrated, were undeniably cultivators with accomplishments in the Sword Dao. Some of them made the Purple Electric Sword can¡¯t help but praise.


    If provided with the correct training, they might become masters of Sword Dao in the future.


    During the chat, one day quickly passed.


    Chen Mobai walked out of the Sword Tower.


    ¡°Go back and wait for the news. Do not leave the doorstep, after the Purple Electric Sword makes its choice, I will come to notify you.¡±


    Hao Cao reminded Chen Mobai when he saw him.


    Pei Qingshuang was there too, but she didn¡¯t approach. After exchanging a glance, they both nodded at each other, acknowledging each other¡¯s presence.


    Yan Qiongzhi was also there, as she would be the next one to enter the Sword Tower.


    After exchanging greetings with her, Chen Mobai left.


    Once Yan Qiongzhi entered the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai also returned to his own place.


    He sat quietly with his eyes closed for three days and three nights.


    ¡°It¡¯s time.¡±


    With the sound of an alarm, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, and turned off the alarm on his phone.


    He exhaled deeply, looking out of the window.


    It was still quiet out there.


    Though he had pleasant conversations with the Purple Electric Sword, he can¡¯t be completely at ease without having it by his side.


    He had no idea how long it would take for the Purple Electric Sword to make its decision.


    Just as Chen Mobai was pondering, a loud and reverberating sword sound surged from the direction of the Sword Tower. It was like an invisible wave of sword energy that spread to every corner of the Academy.


    Almost everyone heard it and looked out of their windows.


    ¡°I hope I didn¡¯t make a mistake.¡±


    On the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, Hao Cao murmured to himself as he removed all the seals and prohibitions imposed on the Purple Electric Sword by the academy.


    A purple rainbow shot up into the sky and then flew towards the west direction of the Thousand-foot Stone Sword.


    Standing by the window and looking towards the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai frowned. Why wasn¡¯t the Purple Electric Sword flying his way?


    Could it be another idealistic sword giving up mundane spirit stones?


    Despite his reluctance, Chen Mobai kept watching the direction where the Purple Electric Sword disappeared, hoping for a miracle to see the sword returning.


    However, after an amount of time sufficient to drink a cup of tea had passed, the sword sound had completely disappeared into the western skyline.


    In the end, did it pick someone with a greater realm?


    Chen Mobai thought that the Purple Electric Sword had chosen a Gold Core expert.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    Just as he was feeling disappointed, the purple rainbow suddenly lit up again in the western sky and started swirling in mid-air as if it was looking for a direction.


    In the end, it set its course towards Chen Mobai, transforming into a beam of purple lightning and dashed towards him.


    Bang!


    A hole was pierced through the window glass of Chen Mobai¡¯s room. A majestic and authoritative long sword flew in, casting purple light all around, and landed in front of him.


    [Sorry, I went the wrong way before.]


    The Purple Electric Sword sent out a wave of pulsation, which left Chen Mobai both crying and laughing. He almost thought this was another lofty idealistic sword.


    ¡°Please guide me for the next sixty years!¡±


    Chen Mobai saluted the Purple Electric Sword, then stretched out his hands and held the sparkling purple long sword.


    Boom!


    A thunder like sound resonating like a clear day thunderbolt reverberated over the Thirteen Stone Swords of the Academy at this moment.

    Ruan Zixiu was a middle-aged cultivator with a worried expression. He saw the scene outside the window and sighed.


    Next to him, Huo Xiqing¡¯s brows furrowed tightly. He looked annoyed. However, by this point, no matter how resentful he was, he had to accept the fact that the Purple Electric Sword did not choose him.


    On the other side of the Stone Sword, Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s eyes flickered. The place where the Purple Electric Sword landed, she knew, was where Chen Mobai was.


    He actually overshadowed the three of them, all Gold Core experts.


    Indeed, he had the qualification of Deification.

 Chapter 700 - Chapter 700: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_1

    Chapter 700: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_1


    ¡°The Purple Lightning Sword has found its master; you all may carry on with your duties.¡±


    Not long after the Purple Lightning Sword chose Chen Mobai, the message from Hao Cao had already entered the ears of every last contestant in the round.


    The information on this side of the celestial gate is transparent.


    Moreover, the fact that the Purple Lightning Sword finally descended massively into Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard was witnessed by most of the people here on the Stone Sword.


    So, in no time, news that the Chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, the number one in Foundation Establishment, known as ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, Chen Mobai, had been recognized by Purple Lightning, spread throughout the entire Shanhai Study Palace.


    In this era of advanced networks, the news of the Purple Lightning Sword choosing its master had already been widely publicized for over half a year, and many media journalists were following it.


    Therefore, in less than half a day, detailed introductions about Chen Mobai had already appeared on the front pages of various forums.


    [A young talent who does not like the tedious courses in school, thus only maintaining average grades deliberately before the university entrance exams.]


    [Half a year before the university entrance exams, he started to put effort into studying and cultivating, eventually topping the local high school at Red Sandstone City.]


    [At the time of the entrance exams, even though he had been lax for more than a dozen years and his cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, no one could stop him from winning the magic duel. Those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, those with different spiritual roots, even the gradeless Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, all lost to him. The man in the red robe saw him and could not help but praise him, saying he could be called ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±.]


    [After entering the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his remarkable talent became unstoppable. He easily rose to the top of symbols and puppetry, and agricultural studies among his peers. After three years, he was the first among his peers to establish his foundation.]


    [Three years later, he defeated the former chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zuo Qiushi, who wholeheartedly admitted defeat. Urging this uniquely talented person to take the position of chief, he upheld expectations by defeating all the cultivators of the Daoist Academy within the Little Red Sky, restoring the glory of Dance Tool Dao Academy.]


    [In another year, under the Big Tree of Jumang Dao Academy, he defeated all the swordsmen, all the cultivators in Foundation Establishment bowed their heads to him, being recognized as qualified for divinity transformation.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    [This year, he surpassed three Gold Core real people with his supreme talent and won the recognition of the Purple Lightning Sword.]


    [This person is truly the most talented individual in Celestial Gate after Bai Guang.]


    After reading this widely circulated ¡°Biography of Battle Law Victory¡±, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed.


    Although everything was true, he clearly knew himself and understood that his current position had nothing to do with talent.


    It was all thanks to resources.


    His cultivation level, realm, artifacts, accomplishments, all were accumulated by the power of two realms. Any of his peers at Dance Tool Dao Academy would probably be in Core Formation by now.


    Although he understood it, for several days in a row seeing the Celestial Gate public praise him, Chen Mobai felt a little smug.


    Just as he couldn¡¯t help wanting to switch to another forum to see how they are praising him, someone came over.


    It was Pei Qingshaung and Yan Qiongzhi, the latter of whom came to say goodbye.


    Of the three Gold Core real people, Huo Xiqing, without uttering a word after learning the result, immediately turned into an escaping light and left Shanhai Study Palace.


    Ruan Zixiu, being a person of Shanhai Study Palace, showed a little regard for Hao Cao and visited Chen Mobai before leaving, having a brief conversation with each other.


    Ruan Zixiu also added Chen Mobai as a friend very graciously.


    Chen Mobai was happy to add another Gold Core person to his contact lists in his phone.


    However, he later realized that Ruan Zixiu had something to ask the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as they needed help in refining his flying sword, hence the courtesy towards him.


    ¡°The matter of the Purple Lightning Sword is settled. Although it couldn¡¯t be brought to our Nature Studies Academy, it being in your Dance Tool Dao Academy hands is the second-best result,¡±


    That was Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s sentiment. Even though Chen Mobai had the lowest cultivation level among the four of them, he had the greatest background.


    Moreover, considering his outstanding record over the years, he¡¯s seen as the second to Lan Haitian, and it was almost a certainty that he would reach the Core Formation stage in the future. Thus, he¡¯s already being treated as a Gold Core real person.


    ¡°Yan is too kind. I was just fortunate to be recognized by the Purple Lightning Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very humble, especially since the process of him obtaining the Purple Lightning Sword was somewhat underground.


    Only he in the entire Celestial Gate could afford the high salary of one high-grade spirit stone per year.


    Under the title of ¡°qualified for divinity transformation¡±, lies the reality of using spirit stones to buy the sword.


    So, when facing a proper Gold Core real person, he felt somewhat uneasy.

    ¡°When you have time, you can visit the Nature Studies Academy. We have handwritten copies of the ¡°Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book¡± and the sword scars left by the Qing Shi and Qing Jing Masters. Using your unmatched swordsmanship talent, you could comprehend more than Cui.¡±


    Before leaving, Yan Qiongzhi invited Chen Mobai, to which the latter politely nodded, indicating that he would visit when he had the chance.


    If he can purchase the Water Mist Ice Crystal in the Eastern Wilderness, it would be a good chance to deliver it to Yan Bingxuan as well.


    ¡°What¡¯s the ¡°Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book¡±?¡±


    After watching Yan Qiongzhi leave on an ice flower, Chen Mobai asked the Pei Qingshuang who was standing next to him. He assumed it should be related to the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang sword, but it¡¯s better to ask the person who knows clearly.

 Chapter 701 - Chapter 701: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_2

    Chapter 701: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_2


    ¡°This is a heavenly book from beyond our Realm, deciphered by two senior cultivators. They used this to break through to the Nascent Soul stage together.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes brightened. Still, he was confused, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say Master Qing Jing cultivated the Qingxiao Sword Canon?¡±


    ¡°Both Master Qing Shi and Master Qing Jing had their own fundamental cultivation techniques, but their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm without the use of Baby-forming Spiritual Things was made possible by the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book. They spent a hundred years deciphering it together at the Heavenly Book Academy, gaining insight into the cultivation method of ¡®Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi,¡¯ greatly increasing the chances of forming Nascent Souls.¡±


    ¡°Can we cultivate it?¡±


    Having heard so much, Chen Mobai was no fool. He immediately followed up on her words by asking further.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Before the two senior cultivators passed away, they gave the contents of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book they deciphered to the Immortal Sect. But up to now, no one has been able to cultivate it successfully. Some people speculate that the two swords, Purple Lightning Qingshuang and Qing Shuang Sword, may hold the key. Or, one needs to cooperate with a Gold Core cultivator who cultivates the Purple Thunder Dharma and the Qingxiao Sword Canon to step through the door.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face displayed hesitation, eventually shaking his head.


    ¡°My talent is more suitable for the Pure Yang Scroll, I absolutely won¡¯t switch to cultivating the Purple Thunder Dharma.¡±


    Despite his considerable desire to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Mobai clearly understood his own strengths.


    After the Pure Yang Scroll was revised by the Elder Yuan Yang, one only needed enough Spirit Stones and time to grow an Immortal Spirit Root. Without the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi, he could find a way to obtain Baby-forming Spiritual Things from the resources of the Tianhe Realm. There was even a slight hope for the Divinity Transformation stage.


    If he switched to cultivating the Purple Thunder Dharma just for the Nascent Soul stage and followed Master Qing Shi¡¯s path, that would be abandoning the essentials for the trivial.


    ¡°You, do you know how many people want to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with me?¡±


    Upon hearing Cheng Mobai¡¯s words, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s normally cold face turned a bit furious.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.CO


    As a practitioner of the Qingxiao Sword Canon, wielding the Qing Shuang Sword, and being the daughter of Tao Hua, countless people from the Five Thunder School who practice the Purple Thunder Dharma wanted to study the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with her.


    ¡°Just a mere Nascent Soul realm stage, you¡¯re not going to rely on me to achieve it, are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s casual remark stunned Pei Qingshuang.


    Pei Qingshuang indeed didn¡¯t have confidence in achieving the Nascent Soul realm. If anyone else had made that comment, she would¡¯ve slapped them with her sword this instant.


    Who are you trying to fool!


    But the one in front of her was Chen Mobai, a recognized talent for Divinity Transformation.


    For him, the Nascent Soul Realm seemed genuinely unchallenging.


    ¡°I¡­ I just want to increase the success rate, to ensure foolproofness.¡±


    In the end, Pei Qingshuang was the one whose spirit faltered first, responding a little sheepishly.


    ¡°All right, since I obtained the Purple Electric Sword this time, and you helped me a lot, if I get stuck at the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I¡¯m willing to help you once.¡±


    Chen Mobai was actually quite interested in the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book. However, his immediate priority was to attain perfection in the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment and then form the Core. He didn¡¯t even know when he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.


    So, he merely made a mental note for the time being and decided to ponder over it after he formed his own Core.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said a bit sheepishly, but she felt a little strange inside.


    Previously, many people begged her to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with her, and she ignored them all. But now, the casually offered help from Chen Mobai made her feel genuinely grateful from the bottom of her heart.


    Perhaps it was because she had already accepted in her heart that the handsome young man in front of her, who had shown incredible potential for Divinity Transformation over the years, would surely be successful in reaching the Nascent Soul stage.


    Thanking a future Senior Nascent Soul cultivator didn¡¯t feel like a disgrace.


    ¡°Is the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book a dual cultivation method?¡±


    Just as Pei Qingshuang was convincing herself, Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question that left her blushing.


    ¡°This¡­ I don¡¯t know. The contents of the Heavenly Book deciphered by the two senior cultivators didn¡¯t involve this aspect. But those two were Dao companions, so maybe¡­¡±


    By the time she reached that point, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t say another word. After all, she was still a female cultivator, and this topic was a bit awkward.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get this straight, I can help you comprehend the Heavenly Book, but no dual cultivation.¡±


    Meng Huang had become a burden for Chen Mobai once before, and fearing that Pei Qingshuang might also turn out to be a stumbling block that needs long-term guidance, he didn¡¯t mind offending anyone and made his attitude clear upfront.


    ¡°Hmph! Do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for cultivation? I originally wanted to set a few stipulations with you too!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s ruthless words, Pei Qingshuang felt aggravated. Her usually proud and confident self had never been subjected to such humiliation, making her feel as if she were being treated lightly.


    So, she refused to back down verbally.


    ¡°That¡¯s better, so our relationship can remain pure. It¡¯s an honor for me to be your acquaintance.¡±


    Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words. He realized his previous speech had been a bit excessive, so he immediately softened his tone and gave her a slight consolation.


    After hearing this, as expected, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s originally tense face softened a bit.


    Giving her a way out, she then stopped making a fuss. She didn¡¯t want to ruin her potential relationship with the talented cultivator standing in front of her who was suitable for Divinity Transformation.


    Even as a second-generation cultivator, her confidence in herself only went as far as Core Formation.


    If she hadn¡¯t cultivated the Nine Heavens Qi of Purple Splendor, her hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation would likely be less than ten percent.


    Considering his exceptional talent, he would definitely be able to help her comprehend the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    While holding this thought, a faint smile even made its way onto the beautiful face of Pei Qingshuang as she proposed a suggestion.


    ¡°Purple Lightning Qingshuang hasn¡¯t seen each other for over a hundred years, why not let them catch up.¡±


    Chen Mobai found this to be a reasonable suggestion. As he didn¡¯t want to reveal his storage bag, he used the Red Misty Cloud Silk to form an invisible scabbard for the Purple Electric Sword, and like Pei Qingshuang, hung it at his waist.


    The two of them controlled their swords with a flick of their fingers. A purple and a blue brilliant light burst forth, like two electric arcs flashing in the sky.


    Upon leaving their sheaths, the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang couldn¡¯t wait to chase each other, flying in the wide sky. From a distance, it looked like two dazzling purple and blue fireworks.


    ¡°How do you usually maintain the Qingshuang Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite interested in how Pei Qingshuang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, received the acknowledgment of the Qingshuang Sword. He felt that with her background as a rich cultivator¡¯s child, Tao Hua should have provided her with plenty of high-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°One intermediate grade Spirit Stone every month plus three at the end of the year. If the Qingshuang Sword is to be used, it needs an additional amount based on the energy expended. It took five more spirit stones when I fought against you last time, which my mother scolded me for. She said I clearly couldn¡¯t win and yet wasted so much¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai unwittingly slapped his thigh, with a trace of pain flashing across his eyes.


    He hadn¡¯t bothered to first understand the market prices when he made an offer. The treatment he offered was too high.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Upon noticing his movement, Pei Qingshuang asked in surprise.


    ¡°Well, just thinking about the fact that maintaining the Purple Electric Sword in the future will cost so much makes me a little short of breath.¡±


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword took the initiative to recognize you as its master, shouldn¡¯t it not need Spirit Stones?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang asked another question. Even without Spirit Stones, the Purple Electric Sword could maintain its grade for several decades.


    In her opinion, this sword must have seen the extraordinary talent of Chen Mobai. It should be the sword that initially cultivates Chen Mobai in order to understand a deeper level of the Sword Dao realm, only then the inauguration would be beneficial for his future.


    ¡°Sigh, I just don¡¯t like owing others in my life. The Purple Electric Sword chose me because it values me. How could I let it suffer? Even if I can¡¯t provide it with Spirit Stones every month like you do, at the very least, I must ensure a minimal supply of spiritual energy.¡±


    When Chen Mobai said this, he was serious and righteous.


    After hearing him, Pei Qingshuang was filled with admiration.


    She felt that the Purple Electric Sword had chosen the right master.

    After a ¡°buzzing¡± sound,


    After playing for a sufficient amount of time, the two Rank-4 swords flew back simultaneously, landing in their respective scabbards.


    [Can I tell Little Qing about your offer? If it knows, it will definitely want to come join you.]


    After the Purple Electric Sword returned to its scabbard, this sudden message came to Chen Mobai who immediately changed his complexion, hurriedly instructing it through his divine sense that it must never do so.


    If the Qingshuang Sword was attracted over, Tao Hua would probably blow his top!

 Chapter 702 - Chapter 702: Chapter 424: Secret_1

    Chapter 702: Chapter 424: Secret_1


    ¡°Then let¡¯s settle it like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang made a pact, thus establishing an intended contract.


    However, it wasn¡¯t compulsory. If Pei Qingshuang realized it on her own in the future, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t need to help.


    Furthermore, this matter would at least need to wait until both of them reached Core Formation, even Perfect Core Formation, they didn¡¯t know when that would be.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you off tomorrow, and don¡¯t forget to say goodbye to teacher Hao Cao.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang reminded Chen Mobai and then turned around and left.


    Since he was going back, he had to inform Meng Huang about his departure. Chen Mobai had always been worried about her Foundation Establishment, as he had been worried about it for a good half-year.


    Chen Mobai: [I¡¯m returning to Crimson City Cave tomorrow. How¡¯s your preparation for Foundation Establishment?]


    Meng Huang: [Thanks to you, I already managed to buy Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid. After a bit of preparation when I return, I can attempt for Foundation Establishment.]


    Turtle Treasure¡¯s agency ability was quite good. Chen Mobai had used the excuse of getting help from a Gold Core cultivator to find out the time of the sale of the three Foundation Establishment treasures on the Cultivator¡¯s Web in advance.


    As a superstar, Meng Huang wasn¡¯t lacking Good Deed Points. After knowing the exact time, she had been vigilantly waiting, and naturally, she easily bought the Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid she needed.


    Seeing this reply, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be relieved.


    Now he could only hope that with the Critical Method as a backing, she could successfully establish her foundation immediately after returning.

    Meng Huang: [I¡¯ll go book a return train ticket.]


    Chen Mobai: [Why would you book a train ticket?]


    Meng Huang: [?]


    Chen Mobai: [Before, that was for helping you cultivate. Now you have succeeded, so there¡¯s no need to do such a thing. Moreover, it¡¯s exhausting. You¡¯re about to prepare for Foundation Establishment, so you need to take good care of your body and try to be in the best condition.]


    Meng Huang in the hotel room blushed and became angry upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    But she also felt that Chen Mobai made sense. She sensed that he was genuinely considering for her and not just lusting after her body.


    She took a few deep breaths, nodded her head in the most gentle manner, and acknowledged that she had learned from him.


    Chen Mobai: [You go book two return plane tickets. We don¡¯t need to be on the same flight, in case someone click photos and taint your reputation.]


    Meng Huang: [Okay, I¡¯ll do that right away.]


    Chen Mobai ended the call, but something seemed off.


    Should I let Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai know? After all, they were students from the same Daoist Academy, and it would be better if everyone returned together.


    So he made another call to Meng Huang, telling her to book only her ticket.


    Chen Mobai: [I might return with Zhongli Tianyu. Your Foundation Establishment is more important, and you still have a lot to prepare in the initial phase. It¡¯s fine if you return first.]


    Although Meng Huang was disappointed, she knew her priorities. It was more important for her to successfully establish her foundation before graduation.


    Sword Grinding Hall.


    Teacher Hao Cao gave Chen Mobai, who was bidding his goodbye, a peculiar look as if he was seeing him in a new light.


    Honestly, he never thought that the final winner would be Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Thinking about his arrangement, Hao Cao could only sigh that his plan was inferior to fate¡¯s.


    ¡°Practice well, I hope to see you committed to the Sword Dao in the future.¡±


    In the end, Hao Cao said these words, waved his hand indicating farewell.


    Chen Mobai bowed in acknowledgment, stood up holding the Purple Electric Sword, and left the Sword Grinding Hall.


    When Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai arrived, the latter shook his head.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be going back yet. There are many outstanding Sword Cultivators here. I¡¯ve already applied for an internship with Director Zuo and might stay here for half a year.¡±


    Zha Jianbai thought that he certainly couldn¡¯t match Chen Mobai¡¯s exceptional talents, and he had decided to focus on exchanging with other Sword Cultivators at Mountain Sea Academy. He has gained much valuable knowledge and has sensed the opportunity to accomplish his Sword Light.


    So he wasn¡¯t planning to return now and wanted to pursue further studies at Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Alright, take care of yourself.¡±


    As the chief of the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai was quite concerned about Zha Jianbai staying at Mountain Sea Academy. When Pei Qingshuang came to see them off in her car, he mentioned this matter and asked her to take care of him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let Linghu Xian know.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was too lazy to handle such trivial matters, called the current chief of Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    After Chen Mobai reached an agreement with Pei Qingshuang, he felt their relationship was more like friends¡¯, making their conversation more casual.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll drop you at White Stone Cave.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang nodded and started her car.


    Cultivators can¡¯t fly inside a cave but are allowed to drive registered vehicles. Chen Mobai was picked up by her when he arrived.

    ¡°You don¡¯t mind taking one more person, do you?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu got in the car and had barely left a bus stop, he saw Shi Wanyu carrying large and small bags and turned to ask Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°There¡¯s still room. No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and rolled down the car window.


    Shi Wanyu, being a woman, inevitably bought many souvenirs for her friends and family during her rare visit to the Mountain Sea Academy, in addition to her own travel possessions.

 Chapter 703 - Chapter 703: Chapter 424 Secret_2

    Chapter 703: Chapter 424 Secret_2


    Due to the lack of a storage bag, it appeared that she had a lot of belongings.


    After becoming the recognized master of the Purple Electric Sword, she showed little interest in the way of the sword. She had no intention of staying long in the Mountain Sea Academy. After buying a souvenir, she booked a ticket back to Crimson City¡¯s Dongtian, which coincidentally brought her into contact with Chen Mobai and his friends.


    While she was waiting for the bus, a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a face that brought her great surprise and joy.


    ¡°Ride with us.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Teacher Wanyu¡¯s eyebrows raised in a bright smile.


    Chen Mobai got out of the car and helped her put her luggage into the trunk, then invited her to sit in the front passenger seat, while he and Zhongli Tianyu took the back row.


    After Chen Mobai helped Wanyu get into the car, he naturally introduced her to the others.


    ¡°This is Pei Qingshuang, a teacher at the Mountain Sea Academy, and also my friend.¡±


    With an aloof nod, Pei Qingshuang, already driving, acknowledged her introduction.


    ¡°This is Teacher Wanyu, a student from Starlight Institute, my good friend and the final candidate for the Purple Electric Sword this time round.¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction, Wanyu greeted the stunningly beautiful Pei Qingshuang with a reserved politeness.


    Upon hearing her name, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s hands tightened, and her pupils briefly contracted.


    She glanced at Chen Mobai and Wanyu with an odd expression, and her usually aloof face suddenly lit up with a warm, cheerful smile.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.c0


    ¡°Hello, my friends like to call me Cui. If you¡¯re willing, you can do the same.¡±


    Upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was left utterly bewildered.


    Wasn¡¯t she usually indifferent to everyone? Even towards Zhongli Tianyu, she didn¡¯t pay him much regard.


    Could it be because Wanyu is pretty?


    Now that he thought about it, all of Pei Qingshuang¡¯s close friends, like Wen Ren Xuewei and Yan Qiongzhi, were all good lookers. Pei surely belonged to the Look¡¯s Party.


    Due to student discounts, Wanyu had booked a train ticket. Pei Qingshuang drove her to the station first.


    Before parting ways, the two women even added each other as friends.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    Wanyu waved them off happily.


    Chen Mobai waved back with a smile, but in his heart, he figured it would probably be the last time he would be seeing her.


    ¡°In the final round of the Purple Electric Sword selection, Qi Practitioners have the option to participate anonymously so as to avoid excessive public attention.¡±


    After they had dropped Wanyu off at the station, and while Zhongli Tianyu was unloading the luggage, Pei Qingshuang revealed this piece of information to Chen Mobai, who was still in the car.


    ¡°Oh, If I¡¯d known that, I would have chosen to be anonymous too.¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t been aware of this option. His recent fame had been causing him headaches, and hearing her words, he let out a sigh.


    Pei Qingshuang, noticing that Chen Mobai had only understood the surface of her words, hesitated for a moment but didn¡¯t say anything else in the end.


    Had she not randomly bumped into them today and had not handled the white stone herself, she wouldn¡¯t have known that Teacher Hao Cao would stoop so low to avoid future blame.


    No wonder he had to select twelve exceptional Sword Talents. It was a smokescreen.


    But knowing the truth, Pei Qingshuang was even more amazed by Chen Mobai¡¯s talent.


    ¡°Stay in touch.¡±


    After saying these words with the unpractised smile she was not good at, Pei Qingshuang watched as Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu entered the airport.


    Inside the waiting room.


    ¡°She¡¯s the daughter of the Tao Hua sage, right? Who would have thought she could survive this well¡­¡±


    As a descendant of a Divinity Transformation family, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to know some inside story. After Pei Qingshuang left, he muttered under his breath.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    After hearing his words, a bewildered Chen Mobai asked. He wondered whether Pei Qingshuang, like him, had suffered from a serious illness when she was young.


    ¡°Do you know who her father is?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu asked back, and Chen Mobai shook his head.


    The information inside the Immortal Gate is quite transparent but the section for Tao Hua¡¯s lover has always been blank, so no one knows who Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father really is.


    ¡°Do you know?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±


    ¡°Then why did you¡­¡±s


    Chen Mobai was about to curse aloud when the announcement for his flight was made.


    The two of them had booked first class, and after the lanky, beautiful flight attendant left, Zhongli Tianyu began telling a story he heard from his childhood.


    ¡°Tao Hua the Immortal was a peach blossom who became a spirit, a demon turned human.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback when he heard this, ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that humans and demons are reproductively incompatible, absolutely unable to produce offspring?¡±


    ¡°Right, that¡¯s why when Pei Qingshuang was born, she nearly died.¡±


    ¡°The Jumang Daoist Academy even sought the help of our Zhongli Clan, as our ancestor had left behind several Black Tortoise shells, which are excellent for replenishing Elemental Energy.¡±


    ¡°But in the end, they weren¡¯t needed. An expert from the Imperial Medical Academy stepped in, resealing Pei Qingshuang back into her mother¡¯s womb.¡±


    After experiencing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s tale, Chen Mobai fell into deep thought.


    ¡°Could it be, that Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father isn¡¯t human either?¡±


    No sooner had he asked this question than he shook his head.


    In the Immortal Sect, there are only laws prohibiting marriage between humans and demons, which are reproductively incompatible. But if both parents were of the same demon species, there would be no reason to cover it up.


    ¡°The higher-ups must be aware of the inside story. Our Zhongli Clan hasn¡¯t produced a Nascent Soul Immortal for a long time, so our ties on the higher echelons have weakened, and we are not privy to much information.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu only happened to know this because he heard his family mention it when he was young. Seeing Pei Qingshuang today reminded him of it.


    ¡°Her father must be surnamed Pei. Are there any individuals of Gold Core or Nascent Soul Realm rank with that surname in the sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question. Tao Hua, as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, if she were to have a Daoist partner, they would have to be at least of Gold Core rank, right?


    Zhongli Tianyu makes a dismissive gesture, indicating that he doesn¡¯t pay attention to such matters.


    Luckily, we live in an age of widespread information. All cultivators of Gold Core rank and above are councillors in the Yuan Palace. Chen Mobai conducted a search and found two real people with the surname Pei belonging to the Gold Core realm.


    Could one of them be the Daoist partner of Tao Hua?


    With this speculation, Chen Mobai treated the matter as if it was mere gossip¨Csomething to pass the time during the journey.


    By the time he returned to the Crimson City cave, he had forgotten all about it.


    Who is Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father? It was none of his business.


    Building number one of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°You little brat, you didn¡¯t embarrass me.¡±


    In the office, Che Yucheng was looking at the Purple Electric Sword Chen Mobai brought, nodding with a sense of pride.


    He had been running around trying to get the matter heard by Cheng Xuan. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t gotten the Purple Electric Sword, all his efforts would¡¯ve been in vain.


    ¡°Teacher, I already told you, the Purple Electric Sword is perfect for me. On the Sword Tower, I only needed to grip the sword hilt to sense a profound unity between the sword and myself. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I haven¡¯t undergone Core Formation yet, the Purple Electric Sword might have recognized me as its master on the spot¡­¡±


    In front of Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was like a child flaunting his excellent results to a parent, essentially recycling what the media had been saying about him. Even he himself was half-convinced by his own words.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ve heard this all before.¡±


    Che Yucheng interrupted Chen Mobai¡¯s repetition. He had read all these on the internet while surfing it.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword is a Rank-4 sword. If you want to command it, you have to at least reach the Golden Core Realm, or else, study ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ and make it your Prime Soul Origin.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face fell when he heard this.


    If ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ was something he could learn easily, he would have mastered it long ago.


    Che Yucheng only mentioned it in passing. After all, the Purple Electric Sword was now in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands. He started discussing another topic.


    ¡°You¡¯ll graduate next year. Which department have you decided on for your graduation design?¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s graduation assignment is quite simple: students just need to make a Rank-2 item from a department they¡¯ve studied in.


    For instance, a Rank-2 talisman for the Talisman Department; a Rank-2 magic artifact for the Artifact Refining Department¡­


    ¡°Naturally, your Puppet Department would be my first choice, teacher.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai sincerely expressed his choice. Furthermore, for him, creating a Rank-2 puppet would be extremely easy.


    ¡°The Academy principal is coming out of seclusion this year. He will give some extra rewards to those students who present a Rank-3 product for their graduation assignment.¡±


    Che Yucheng finally brought up the main point.


    ¡°What kind of rewards?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled as he asked. Whatever a Nascent Soul Immortal would give as a reward couldn¡¯t be bad, could it?

 Chapter 704 - Chapter 704: Chapter 425 Magical Treasure Embryo_1

    Chapter 704: Chapter 425 Magical Treasure Embryo_1


    ¡°In addition to the original device piece, there is also the embryo of a personal magic treasure crafted by the principal himself!¡±


    This news would also be announced at the end of the year, so Che Yucheng directly mentioned it in advance.


    After a cultivator achieves Core Formation, they can forge their personal magic treasure.


    This magic treasure is connected with a cultivator¡¯s mind and will continue to ascend in rank with the cultivator¡¯s growth. It is one of the foundations of a cultivator, part of the Dao Fruit.


    That¡¯s why the casting of the personal magic treasure is so important. If the cultivator doesn¡¯t do it themselves, there will be a feeling of hindrance when operating and using it in the early stage.


    But the technology in the Immortal Gate has developed, and many methods have been thought of to bypass this difficulty.


    For example, asking a top-ranked artifact refiner to help create a magical treasure embryo that suits the cultivator¡¯s taste according to the cultivator¡¯s cultivation technique and spiritual root attributes so that the cultivator could incorporate it into their body to nourish with spiritual power in advance.


    After successful core formation, the magical treasure would have undergone a transformation process with cultivator, eliminating the sensation of hindrance as if it were truly made by the cultivator themself.


    For example, the Star Concentrating Stone that Lan Haitian got from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a Rank-3 embryo of a personal magic treasure.


    Cheng Xuan is the only Rank-5 artifact refiner in the Immortal Gate. The treasure embryo refined with his help is guaranteed to be high-quality.


    ¡°Teacher, if I refine a Rank-3 puppet and a Rank-3 Talisman, can the principal help me refine two personal magic treasure embryos?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai, feeling a bit more greedy, asked another question.


    ¡°You little rascal, don¡¯t be so insatiable.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    Che Yucheng rebuked him.


    Who is Cheng Xuan? Even Gold Core cultivators might not always get his help with refining if they ask.


    It¡¯s just that the graduates from the Dance Tool Dao Academy in recent years have been fortunate. They happened upon Cheng Xuan coming out of seclusion and therefore received this extravagant benefit.


    ¡°All Rank-3 items will be sent to the principal for him to evaluate personally. He will select the works he is satisfied with and award the creation of magical treasure embryos. So, being Rank-3 alone is not enough. You need to be outstanding among your peers in order to seize this opportunity.¡±


    As one of the four major Daoist Academies, the Dance Tool Dao Academy, although it ranked lowest until last year, has a student quality that far exceeds that of the top ten academies. It is a rare achievement for students to obtain a Rank-3 profession on graduation.


    For example, Ming Yuhua, who was highly praised by Deng Daoyun, the head of the Refining Implement Department, is said to certainly be able to pass the Rank-3 artifact refiner examination before graduation.


    It¡¯s also not impossible for Yunyang Bing to achieve the Rank-3 array master, and even Wang Xingyu, although he is not as good as Qing Nu, is also a genius in alchemy.


    ¡°Teacher, my Sword Sha that I have cultivated is also Rank-3¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit unfair. As the most outstanding graduate of the Sword Control Department in a century and the universally recognized Sword Cultivation Genius in a millennium, second only to Bai Guang, he should not have his best skill excluded from the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal because there is no sword cultivator.


    ¡°You want to say that your sword has achieved merit for the Daoist Academy, don¡¯t you? Due to your Purple Electric Sword, the principal had to busy himself finding several Nascent Soul cultivators. Now you have a Rank-4 sword in hand, yet you feel wronged!¡±


    Che Yucheng once again rebuked Chen Mobai for his insatiability. After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it was true and immediately lowered his head to accept the scolding.


    Without the backing of Dance Tool Dao Academy and Cheng Xuan, no matter how many Spirit Stones he has, an insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivator like him would not be eligible to compete with several Gold Core cultivators.


    ¡°However, as long as you produce a Rank-3 puppet, in consideration of the honor you have gained for the Daoist Academy over these years, the principal will definitely help you refine a magical treasure embryo.¡±


    After speaking, Che Yucheng felt it was almost enough. His tone softened and gave Chen Mobai a comforting assurance.


    Indeed, the upper level still remembered his contributions and achievemnt for the academy.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that his enrollment in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and becoming the chief representative was the wisest decision of his life.


    However, as the chief representative of the Daoist Academy, he must convincingly show off his skills and attract everyone¡¯s attention. He certainly cannot let people think he is a sham.


    It¡¯s decided, he will create a Formless Puppet to thrill the arena!


    So that Che Yucheng could also be very proud.


    Of course, the main reason is that the only Rank-3 puppet he comprehended with Enlightenment Tea was the Formless Puppet.


    After leaving Building 1, Chen Mobai headed for the Student Union.


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to find you.¡±


    Hearing that he was coming, Zhongli Tianyu ran down from his president¡¯s office, only to see Chen Mobai waving his hands at him.


    ¡°If you¡¯re not looking for me, then what are you doing here?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was curious as he couldn¡¯t think of anything else Chen Mobai would have to do at the Student Union besides randomly checking his attendance rate.


    ¡°Where is Jialan, I came to see her.¡±


    Chen Mobai called his former secretary. Zhuang Jialan, who just came down from the second floor, pointed to herself in surprise, apparently not expecting he was looking for her.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m registering for the Rank-3 Talisman Maker test, and I thought Jialan had taken the test before, so I came to get some advice.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although Chen Mobai is known as the top Talisman Master of his class, in reality, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu in his class are the true Talisman Masters. Not only did they pass the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam during their Qi Cultivation, but they also took the Rank-3 exam.


    Unfortunately, Rank-3 is very difficult. Even though the two of them had already accomplished Foundation Establishment, they also failed.


    But at least they have more experience than Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Tsk.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu swung his sleeves and went straight upstairs to his office.

 Chapter 705 - Chapter 705: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_2

    Chapter 705: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_2


    ¡°By the way, the president announced this year that he would be offering some additional rewards to outstanding students¡­¡±


    Having been in the Student Council for many years, Chen Mobai knew many others from the Metaphysical Class who would heed his call to join. He didn¡¯t plan on keeping this news to himself, so he announced it directly in front of everyone present.


    ¡°Really!¡±


    As expected, everyone was taken aback upon hearing that Cheng Xuan would personally forge the Magic Artifact embryos. Their breaths hitched in excitement.


    A personal customization from a Rank-5 Artifact Refiner was usually something only Gold Core cultivators from the Daoist Academy would get. Even they did not get such a treatment.


    Considering their luck in landing such a good opportunity, everyone quickly started thinking of ways they could produce a Rank-3 object in the shortest time possible as soon as they received confirmation from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you the news, but since the Daoist Academy has yet to officially announce it, kindly keep it within the Student Council and do not divulge it to anyone else.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a final reminder, and everyone nodded seriously, thanking him while beginning to discuss this big news.


    Zhongli Tianyu remained unperturbed, showing no interest at all as he ascended the stairs.


    His Bagua Mirror was already a top-grade Legal Treasure of the Daoist Academy. In its perfect state, it was even a Rank-5, sufficient for his use until reaching Nascent Soul Formation ¨C even higher Realms. Therefore, he had barely any interest or energy in cultivating and refining other magic artifacts.


    ¡°Jialan, let¡¯s find a quiet office to discuss about the Rank-3 talisman making.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai immediately led Zhuang Jialan to the second floor conference room with a pleasant demeanor.


    ¡°Head, which Rank-3 talisman do you plan on crafting?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Zhuang Jialan was very clear about Chen Mobai¡¯s talent. He was a true genius who could achieve anything he set his mind to.


    ¡°These are the ten talismans for my Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam. Which one do you think is the easiest?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words revealed a bit of his own insecurity, but Zhuang Jialan assumed that he wanted to approach talisman study by focusing on the basics, building from simple to complex, so she arranged the ten talismans in order of complexity.


    ¡°The Dividing Soul Talisman would be the easiest to study, but it¡¯s also the hardest if you want to master weaving reality with illusion. However, if you just want to complete a Rank-3 talisman, you can start with this one.¡±


    ¡°After casting the Youth Talisman, one can maintain their youthful appearance for a period of time. The duration depends on the grade of the talisman. The initiation is quite difficult, though, so you can put it off for later.¡±


    ¡°This Paper People, Paper Horse Talisman, is a simplified version of the Six Ding and Six Jia Immortal Talisman. The next level above is the Bean-Soldier Talisman, which is considered one of the most challenging systems of talisman cultivation in our Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡­


    After hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s analysis, Chen Mobai instantly understood that he probably wouldn¡¯t pass his exam.


    However, he was mentally prepared for this. After all, due to the incident with Meng Huang earlier this year, he had neglected his studies. If it weren¡¯t for the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, he would have regretted his decision.


    ¡°Jialan, thanks for helping me analyze these. These talismans and talisman inks are produced by my own factory. Feel free to use them.¡±


    After inviting Zhuang Jialan to help analyze the ten talismans for his Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam, Chen Mobai offered her some items as a way of showing gratitude. She accepted his gift without modesty, smiling.


    Then Zhuang Jialan shared her experiences and insights from her own Rank-3 examination.


    Leaving the Student Council, Chen Mobai returned to his own cabin.


    Just when he was about to ponder over how to complete a Rank-3 talisman, he received a call from Meng Huang.


    Meng Huang: [I see the light on in your room.]


    Chen Mobai: [Yes, is there something you need?]


    Meng Huang: [¡­]


    Meng Huang: [I¡¯ve received the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder I ordered. Will you come up and help me verify their quality?]


    While the backend of the Immortal Network was official, some products were contracted out to the top ten colleges or the hundred and twenty prefectures for refining and processing. As a result, there were chances of getting low-quality products that could be returned.


    Chen Mobai had originally planned to study talismans tonight, but since Meng Huang had made this request and both items were ones he had taken the time to nab, it was necessary for him to check them out.


    He just hoped there wouldn¡¯t be any unexpected twists and turns.


    However, by the time Chen Mobai flew there and had time to check the items, it was already noon the next day.


    ¡°The items are fine.¡±


    Meng Huang herself cooked lunch as usual. Chen Mobai ate while checking out the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder, confirming their excellent quality.


    ¡°Mmm, I¡¯m planning to start Foundation Establishment the day after tomorrow. What do you think?¡±


    After putting the last serving of vegetables on the table, Meng Huang, dressed in an apron, sat down with a joyful expression and asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine. Just like at the end of last year, you can go ahead and get a room first. Leave the door for me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After thinking it over, Chen Mobai felt that the sooner Meng Huang began her Foundation Establishment, the better. He nodded and encouraged her to get it done as quickly as possible.


    Even if she didn¡¯t succeed this time around ¨C given that she had the threshold technique ¨C she could try again in a month. As long as her luck wasn¡¯t horrible, she should succeed within four or five attempts before graduating at the end of the year.


    ¡°This time, should I again resort to the Equaling Heaven Art?¡±


    Meng Huang hesitated for a moment, then asked another question.


    ¡°That¡¯s a minor technique. If you still place your hopes on such things, I can guarantee that you¡¯ll still fail the Foundation Establishment, even with the threshold technique. You have to believe in yourself. You¡¯re not the same as you were last year.¡±

 Chapter 706 - Chapter 706: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_3

    Chapter 706: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_3


    Chen Mobai earnestly conveyed his thoughts, while Meng Huang was merely asking out of curiosity. After she had practiced the Borderline Technique, her fear of the Foundation Establishment stage had diminished substantially.


    She hoped that ideally, she could complete the Foundation Establishment before graduation. Otherwise, if she were to delay her graduation by another year or two, her celebrity status would inevitably attract the media¡¯s attention, with accusations of favoritism sure to follow.


    ¡°By the way, now that the school president is out of seclusion this year¡­ If you can sing a Rank-3 song, you should consider giving it a shot.¡±


    Chen Mobai shared this insider information with Meng Huang, treating it as a favor. In the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, there is a position for an immortal music practitioner who utilizes spiritual music and instruments to perform. The Shocking God Sonata, for example, is a Rank-5 Immortal Piece.


    Meng Huang¡¯s eyes sparkled upon hearing this, but she immediately shook her head in disappointment.


    ¡°I¡¯ve neglected my music studies for the past several years, focusing on Foundation Establishment. Now, I merely maintain a Rank-2 level. Even if I were to succeed in Foundation Establishment immediately, it would still be impossible for me to master a Rank-3 song within half a year.¡±


    ¡°Do your best. Considering your status as a practitioner of the Mystic Sound Method, you won¡¯t lack resources in the future. If the school president doesn¡¯t have any Magical Treasure Embryos, the Immortal Gate will arrange for you to receive one someday.¡±


    Meng Huang beamed at Chen Mobai¡¯s words. If she successfully establishes her foundation, she will become eligible to join the art troupe at the Immortal Gate. After dedicating a certain amount of time to her craft, priority will be given to providing her with Liquid Gold Jade and Rejuvenation Pills.


    However, the Magical Treasure Embryos provided by the Immortal Gate are unlikely to be as high-quality as those personally customized by Grandmaster Cheng Xuan.


    Yet for Meng Huang, who was originally hopeless about Foundation Establishment, this was great news.


    ¡°What Rank-3 item do you plan to refine?¡±


    Having finished her meal, Meng Huang asked casually as she used the Cleaning Technique to tidy up.


    ¡°You¡¯re so certain that I¡¯m capable of crafting a Rank-3 item?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai found her certainty curious. He had built his reputation as an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius. Although he possessed talents in many other areas, they fell within the normal range.


    ¡°You hold the Qualification of Deification. The only question is whether or not you wish to do something; there¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t achieve.¡±


    When Meng Huang uttered these words, she displayed more confidence than Chen Mobai himself.


    Ever since she returned from the White Stone Cave, she has been aware of the bond formed between Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword. She felt incredibly fortunate to have completed her trade with the greatest genius the Immortal Gate had seen in a millennium prior to this event, as she assumed that her qualifications would have been deemed insufficient by Chen Mobai if the trade were to happen now.


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai could only muster a faint smile.


    He didn¡¯t have a choice; his fame in the Immortal Gate was rising like oil on fire, and was being celebrated with fresh flowers ¨C an unwanted deviation from his original intent of quietly amassing wealth.


    Upon assisting Meng Huang with her Foundation Establishment, he planned to retreat to the Divine Wood Sect and maintain a low profile, allowing his blazing reputation to cool down a bit within the Immortal Gate.


    However, he still had to take the graduation project seriously.


    Reflecting on his classmates like Ming Yuhua, Yunyang Bing, Wang Xingyu, who were likely to pass their Rank-3 professional assessments before graduation, he felt the need to showcase his best work in order to outshine them.


    ¡°I originally planned to simply draw a Rank-3 Talisman. Just enough to graduate,¡±


    Chen Mobai gently sighed, pretending to be burdened by the weight of his reputation in front of Meng Huang.

    ¡°But now, with the entire media of the Immortal Gate fixed on me, they will undoubtedly cover my graduation extensively. For the sake of sparing my teacher any unnecessary trouble, I need to reveal my true skills.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what¡¯s that?¡±


    Meng Huang, who knew Chen Mobai was not only the top in Sword Dao but also in Talisman, Puppet Creation, and Agricultural Studies among his classmates, wondered which one he would choose to stand out.


    ¡°I¡¯ll create a Formless Puppet!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang was left speechless.

 Chapter 709 - Chapter 709: Chapter 427: Zi Hua Sword Manual_1

    Chapter 709: Chapter 427: Zi Hua Sword Manual_1


    Chen Mobai originally meant to celebrate just until noon and not waste the rest of the room rental for the day.


    Who would have thought that Meng Huang would extend it for another three whole days.


    Chen Mobai was bitter but had to swallow his words; after all, he proposed the celebration in the first place, and he could hardly complain now.


    Three days later, a radiant Meng Huang swaggered out, eager to announce her Foundation Establishment success herself.


    To avoid any suspicion, Chen Mobai had to extend for another day, quietly checking out and leaving the building only after Meng Huang had attracted enough attention in the outside world.


    Before long, the news of the star student achieving Foundation Establishment in her final year of graduation spread throughout the Daoist Academy.


    Meng Huang intended to face those who claimed she got her positions due to favoritism, and said it was impossible for her to achieve Foundation Establishment. However, even after her Foundation Establishment, there were still many who criticized that she pulled down the average record of Daoist Academy¡¯s Foundation Establishment, attributing her success to sheer luck.


    ¡°Hmph, they just refuse to acknowledge my brilliance.¡±


    Inside the villa atop the mountain, Meng Huang, reading the sarcastic remarks focused on her below in the school forum, saw her high spirits from the successful Foundation Establishment rapidly diminish.


    ¡°If you care about these minor things, your path to progress will be hindered. You should always look forward, just like me.¡±


    Chen Mobai is also present, becoming accustomed to Meng Huang¡¯s home-cooked meals. When he stayed at the Daoist Academy, he would visit during meal times.


    ¡°Only someone like you can have such an expansive mind. I just can¡¯t stand it. From the moment I entered the academy, they have bad-mouthed me for a decade. If I hadn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment, I would have been regarded as a disgrace to the Dance Tool Dao Academy on graduation day.¡±


    After Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment, she showed her true self more, eating and playing with her mobile phone while bickering with people online.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Once you join the performing arts troupe after graduation, you will receive the best training. You will have the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill as soon as sixty years pass. You will be on a different starting point than them, so there¡¯s no need to waste time on this.¡±


    As someone who had been through this, Chen Mobai gave another word of advice. He behaved like this when he was young, always involving in high-intensity online disputes.


    But after becoming the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he seldom did such things.


    Instead of spending time on that, he would rather use the Spirit Stones for extra cultivation of Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai, Meng Huang obediently put down her phone to start browsing entertainment news on her TV.


    Compared to the criticism faced in the Daoist Academy, most of the entertainment circle was positive reporting.


    Having another cultivator capable of Mystic Sound Method at the Foundation Establishment stage grants the masses in the Xian door more benefits after all.


    People were also full of praise and commendation amidst their congratulations, hailing her as the first goddess of Xian door, possessing beauty, strength, and talent.


    Seeing this, Meng Huang was overjoyed.


    ¡°Although you succeeded in the Foundation Establishment, your Spiritual Root Talent is quite ordinary. You need to work hard if you desire to proceed to Core Formation.¡±


    After finishing the meal, the two sat on the balcony, tasting the Spiritual Wine brought by Chen Mobai. The latter, with a purpose, reminded.


    ¡°Hmm, I will strive to achieve Perfection in Foundation Establishment within twenty years.¡±


    Meng Huang, an extremely clever person, quickly understood the implied meaning in Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Her face flushed, but she boldly responded.


    ¡°Looking forward to that day.¡±


    Saying that, Chen Mobai raised the wine glass in his hand to Meng Huang and they drank to the last drop under the sunset.


    ¡°This is a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir, a gift to celebrate your Foundation Establishment success.¡±


    Early next morning before leaving, Chen Mobai left the Barrier Breaking Elixir, which he had exchanged in the academy but had never taken, on the bedside of Meng Huang¡¯s bed.


    He reminded her subtly to keep on cultivating and achieve Perfection in Foundation Establishment as early as possible.


    After helping Meng Huang with her Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai finally felt a bit relieved.


    Next, he borrowed two Cultivation Techniques from the academy library and applied for a long leave from Che Yucheng, claiming that he wanted to close the door to study all the blueprint of the Insubstantial Puppet.


    Che Yucheng naturally approved instantly.


    In reality, Chen Mobai headed to Xiao Nanshan.


    He summoned his two disciples and inquired about the recent situation at the Eastern Wilderness. Finding that it hadn¡¯t changed much since his departure, except that the tension between Lei Nation and Mountain Shaker Peak seemed to have risen.


    Several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect were dispatched to the border by Chu Zuoshu. Also, many Qi Cultivation disciples and aristocratic families of the Four Nations accepted tasks and rushed to the Lei Nation.

    ¡°Master, a few days ago, the sect found out that Ji Dingjin had left Shake Mountain but did not know where he went. It¡¯ll be beneficial if you could contest if he is on the battlefield, especially under the circumstances where the Sect Leader can¡¯t move casually, and Meng Senior Uncle Apprentice has not yet healed from his injury.¡±


    As the third-in-command of the real transmission and a direct disciple of Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan could receive a lot of high-level news within the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin, huh. We still have an unfinished Magic Duel¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his past battle with Ji Dingjin during the final stage of the war at Shake Mountain. He was not a Sword Demon then, and he indeed could not deal with an accomplished Ji Dingjin, a Foundation Establishment consummate Body Cultivator.


    However, things are different now.

 Chapter 710 - Chapter 710: 427

    Chapter 710: 427


    He wondered if Ji Dingjin¡¯s body could withstand his Sword Sha¡¯s power!


    However, since Chu Zuoshu had not demanded him to go into battle, it signified that the sect was not yet ready to fight a life-or-death battle with the Mountain Shaker Peak. Although Chen Mobai was prepared to act, he would not take the initiative.


    After Luo Yixuan finished speaking, Zhuo Ming reported on the conditions of the thousand acres of Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan.


    All the Rank-1 Fire Spirit Rice was growing well, awaiting harvest at the end of the year.


    The newly acquired sloping land on the Spirit Mountain had also been converted into good terraced fields. They had planted Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens and were awaiting the seed sowing next spring.


    ¡°Master, these eggs are from the Sprit Chickens. They taste very good too.¡±


    While speaking, Zhuo Ming took out a basket of cooked Spirit Chicken Eggs from her storage bag, and Luo Yixuan immediately began peeling them.


    ¡°Hmm, not bad. The egg white is tender and the egg yolk is milky. It¡¯ll taste even better if you fry it with some seasoning.¡±


    The cooking skills in the Eastern Wilderness were mostly limited to just cooking the food thoroughly. Even the highly touted Sky Meal Building¡¯s taste was comparable to the ordinary roadside vendors in the Xiandao. However, the one advantage here was the richness of the ingredients.


    ¡°Master, how is the Spirit Chicken Egg best fried? Next time we go out, I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan promptly asked.


    The three of them often had picnics while patrolling the Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants. Chen Mobai had displayed his cooking skills, which was indeed superior to his two disciples. His unheard-of cooking methods had opened their eyes.


    ¡°Why wait for another day when we can do it today? Let¡¯s go fetch a couple of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, catch a couple of Spirit Chickens, and then go catch a couple of fish from the rice field. I will show off my cooking skills.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    Having resolved the issue of the Purple Lightning Sword Meng Phoenix in Xiandao, Chen Mobai was in a great mood. Upon hearing Luo Yixuan¡¯s suggestion, he immediately took his Red Misty Cloud Silk, along with his two disciples, and descended from the mountain.


    ¡°Master, the seeds of Green Jade Spirit Rice have been sorted out, and now 99% of the rice grown in this acre will be Rank-2.¡±


    In the Spirit Fields under Xiao Nanshan, after maturing two Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai was led by Zhuo Ming to check out the Green Jade Spirit Rice that they had crossbred and cultivated.


    ¡°Very good, let¡¯s plant Green Jade Spirit Rice next year, plant this in all second-grade spiritual fields, and Fire Spirit Rice in all first-grade ones.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very happy. After many years of farming, he finally achieved a success, living up to his reputation as the top agriculturist of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Master, do we still need to plant the rest of the hybrid Spirit Rice on Xiao Nanshan?¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming pointed to the sixty acres of Spirit Fields, where they had grown different types of hybrid Spirit Rice. She was now engrossed in this random combination experiment, which produced various peculiar types of rice seeds.


    The success of the Green Jade Spirit Rice gave her a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.


    ¡°Of course we should continue. Above Rank-2, there are Rank-3, Rank-4¡­ the joy of agricultural studies lies precisely in this.¡±


    When Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuo Ming was somewhat perplexed, but she instinctively nodded her head, indicating that she would follow her master¡¯s steps.


    As for Luo Yixuan, who was standing beside them, she understood the value of Rank-3 Spirit Rice. After hearing this, she was greatly surprised, but soon after ,her admiration for Chen Mobai grew.


    This master was not only a top-notch sword cultivator, but also a skilled hermit farmer. She wondered how much of his skills she would be able to learn during her lifetime.


    ¡°Master, this rice flower fish tastes amazing.¡±


    After finishing their picnic, Luo Yixuan still reluctantly put down the fishbone in her hands. Chen Mobai¡¯s cooking skills and the seasonings from Xiandao completely won over his disciples¡¯ hearts.


    ¡°The Azure Blood Carp raised by your Senior Brother Wen Bo tastes even better. Here¡¯s a task for you. Ask Wen Bo for some fish fry, raise them in the rice fields, and use Azure Blood Carp to practice the cooking skills I taught you. If I am satisfied, I will gift you something.¡±


    Chen Mobai was sincerely instructing his three disciples.


    Luo Yixuan had an exceptionally good Water Spirit Root and was practicing the Blackwater Cultivation. During her cooking practice, she would have to taste the food continuously, which would enhance her Water Spirit Root.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you should learn the frying technique for bamboo shoots just like I taught you. Once your cooking skills are refined, let Wen Bo try first. If he¡¯s satisfied, I will have a taste.¡±


    Although the Jade Bamboo in Xiao Nanshan was used for growing Spirit Rice, they could still buy quite a few Jade Bamboo Shoots within the four country borders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Azure Blood Carp improved the Water Spirit Root, and Jade Bamboo Shoots improved the Wood Spirit Root. However, this matter was too significant in Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai, lacking the absolute cultivation level, dared not reveal it. He could only benefit his three disciples in this way.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming thought that Chen Mobai wanted to teach them cooking, both nodded reverently.


    In the following days.


    Chen Mobai cultivated on Xiao Nanshan, enhancing his cultivation level of the Pure Yang Scroll, while studying the ¡°Purple Thunder Dharma¡± and the ¡°Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art¡± that he had taken from the library.


    [These two cultivation techniques were practiced by my old master. However, if you want to achieve a unison between man and sword, communicating your intent, it would be best to cultivate the Zi Hua Sword Manual revised by the old master.]


    Chen Mobai was studying these two cultivation techniques to master the Purple Lightning Sword and naturally let out the Purple Lightning Sword from the storage bag, watching it and asking questions as he studied.


    ¡°The Zi Hua Sword Manual? Our Dance Tool Dao Academy does not have this one, but the National Library does.¡±


    Chen Mobai checked online on his phone and found that this Zi Hua Sword Manual required 8 million points for an exchange download.


    It also required Rank-3 authorization, only Golden Core cultivators could view it.


    [Would you like to cultivate it? I have the full version here.]


    The Purple Lightning Sword, stuck in the giant raw Spirit Stone and bathed in spiritual energy, sent a fluctuation to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Show it to me.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, an invisible sword thought turned into purple electric light and entered his brows.


    It was probably an hour later when he opened his eyes, shaking his head involuntarily.


    ¡°It¡¯s too hard to cultivate, not suitable for me.¡±


    As it turned out, this Zi Hua Sword Manual was a great technique created by Master Qing Shi after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, aiming to explore his path to Divinity Transformation. It was based on the Purple Thunder Dharma, the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art, and the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    Therefore, the cultivation threshold of the Zi Hua Sword Manual is extremely high, requiring at least Foundation Establishment ¡°Perfection¡±, and is limited only to those with a Thunder Spiritual Root.


    This is also the standard for the Purple Lightning Sword to recognize its master.


    Originally, according to its plan, it chose a suitable Golden Core Thunder Spiritual Root cultivator, then let him change to the cultivation of the Zi Hua Sword Manual. In this way, they would be able to control a part of the power of the Purple Lightning Sword and cultivate the Sword Artifact with the Golden Core spiritual power.


    But all the Golden Core cultivators in the Taoist sect are cunning, so they would not use their own spiritual power to cultivate the Magic Artifact. Thus, they all refused without hesitation.


    Just in time, Chen Mobai smashed out a high-grade Spirit Stone. After thinking about it and comparing all the conditions, the Purple Lightning Sword eventually chose the one with the highest treatment.


    [Well, there¡¯s nothing we can do then. We can only wait for you to enter the Core Formation stage before we try to meld as one.]


    If he changes to cultivate the Zi Hua Sword Manual, probably by the time he reaches Foundation Establishment ¡°Perfection¡±, under the active circumstances of the Purple Lightning Sword, Chen Mobai can control this Rank-4 sword.


    ¡°In this case, our cultivation sect is about to initiate the territorial war. I may fight with the local indigenous cultivators. If I encounter a Golden Core cultivator then, can I borrow your power to accomplish the kill?¡±


    Chen Mobai consulted the Purple Lightning Sword, wanting to know the level of power he currently possessed.


    [If I actively cooperate, you can barely borrow my power to execute one sword strike!]


    Having gained a considerable benefit from Chen Mobai, the Purple Electric Sword felt the dense spiritual energy enveloping it and told the truth.


    ¡°My friend, the Qing Shuang sword master, borrowed the Qing Shuang sword to strike me four times the last time?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai thought of the scene of his battle with Pei Qingshuang at the Jumang Daoist Academy and couldn¡¯t help asking doubtfully.


    [She is legitimately cultivating the Qingxiao Sword Canon, which was the old master¡¯s Dao companion. Her spiritual power, Divine Sense, and even her body perfectly fit with Little Qing, so she could strike out four times.]


    ¡°I¡¯ll provide spirit stones, how many do you need if we can kill a Golden Core Cultivator?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    The Purple Lightning Sword trembled violently upon hearing this.

 Chapter 711 - Chapter 711: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_1

    Chapter 711: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_1


    ¡°Just point to whom you want to kill when the time comes.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword eventually succumbed to the Spirit Stone, and Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    He was gradually testing the Purple Electric Sword. It seemed that the sword could still strike independently even without a cultivator wielding it. He wondered if this Rank-4 sword could confront a Golden Core Cultivator?


    ¡°How many Spirit Stones will it need at that time?¡±


    ¡°At least 1¡­ half of a high-grade Spirit Stone.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword originally wanted a year¡¯s worth of tribute but felt it might be too much, so it changed its demand to half a Spirit Stone on the spot.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a bit too little? After all, if you need to make a move, it definitely means facing a Golden Core Cultivator.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and felt it was a bit cheap.


    After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, even a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones wouldn¡¯t be enough to invite a Golden Core Cultivator. These people were either patriarchs or famous Loose Cultivators with immense reputation.


    ¡°It¡¯s not even certain that I could win. Without the support of a sword master, I can only exert a tenth of my power, so half a Spirit Stone should be considered the minimal fee for wielding the sword. The specific amount will depend on the outcome of the battle.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Purple Electric Sword, although naive as a child, felt as if it had lowballed itself and added another sentence.


    ¡°Alright then, but given my cautious nature, the chances of you being used are not high.¡±


    Chen Mobai had done enough probing and learned about the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s limit.


    wuxiaworld.site


    However, he felt that a tenth of its power was too low and it might not be a match for a Golden Core Cultivator, so he decided it¡¯s better to remain low profile and humble, true to his original intentions.


    The Purple Electric Sword had no reaction to this and continued to enjoy the abundant sense of Spiritual Energy bathing its body, still embedded in the raw Spirit Stone.


    Time passed quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    That day, Chen Mobai, seated on the top of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s wooden house, opened his eyes as they were wrapped in dense Spiritual Energy.


    His one intermediate grade Spirit Stone had become dim, its Spiritual Energy completely absorbed by the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    He skillfully fetched a Spirit-Testing Instrument from his storage bag. This delicate device had been with him for nearly ten years, and its price of 580 Good Deed Points had already long been proven to be a worthy one.


    ¡°Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 48, Water 19, Fire 75, Earth 14¡±


    After infusing a line of Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai saw his Spiritual Root Value increase and nodded with satisfaction.


    After two continuous years of cultivating with intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, there was significant progress in his Six Yang body. He further reduced his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots by one point, and increased his Fire Spiritual Root by three points.


    This time, he learned from past lessons. Once he felt changes in his Spiritual Roots, he stopped and planned to touch the Talent Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm later.


    During the past half year, he had basically been in a state of meditation and Cultivation on Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Spiritual Energy-rich land.


    Depending on the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water exchanged from the Daoist Academy, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power progressed steadily and 130 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power had been condensed in the Dantian Qi Sea.


    However, to advance to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment with the Pure Yang Scroll, 150 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power were needed.


    Without the Immortal Peach Fruit given by Yuan Hongyuan, Chen Mobai originally had no hope to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage before graduation.


    But now, with a year¡¯s time left and sufficient Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it should be no problem.


    Nevertheless, compared to the increase in Pure Yang Spiritual Power, the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body undoubtedly made him happier.


    After all, his Dantian Qi Sea and Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had been expanded to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment due to several opportunities. There were no more bottlenecks before Core Formation, and it could all be achieved sooner or later.


    However, the Pure Yang Daoist Body was different.


    As the easiest Divinity Transformation Cultivation Technique among the Immortal Sects to learn, the only thing that held back the Cultivators from Cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll was this Pure Yang Daoist Body, which required a lot of resources and time.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mentor, Shao Yang the Real Man, had been expending a lot of resources and time on this matter from the moment he started studying until now, almost ten years. It was unknown whether he would be able to cultivate the Nine Yangs in his lifetime and reach the threshold before Nascent Soul Formation.


    Despite not being short of Spirit Stones, there were no examples in the Immortal Sect of progressing and enhancing the Pure Yang Daoist Body entirely with Spirit Stones from start to finish. It was all just theory.


    Chen Mobai was also a bit afraid that later on, these Spirit Stones would be ineffective for the Pure Yang Daoist Body, and he would have to rely only on his own diligent Cultivation.


    Luckily so far, the Spirit Stones have always been useful.


    After two years of continuous refinement, he finally sensed the breakthrough of his Six Yang body today.


    Judging by this rate, approximately in four years, the Six Yang body should be able to reach Perfection.


    Even if according to the experience of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll Cultivators, the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body would slow down as it reached the later stages, Chen Mobai had originally planned to wait twenty years for Meng Huang, so this period would definitely be enough for him to achieve Six Yangs.


    In that case, all the prerequisites to Core Formation for the Pure Yang Scroll would be fulfilled.


    Once the problem of the Pure Yang Daoist Body was solved, there would be no more obstacles for Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation. What remained was to acquire the Golden Core Spiritual Materials to raise the success rate.


    After glancing at the Five Elements Spiritual Root Values on the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai smiled and opened the Cloud Mist Array on the mountain top.

    Shortly after, several Message Talismans fell into his hands.


    The first ones were from his three disciples.


    Liu Wenbo had been traveling all this year, expanding the South Mountain Shop while also looking for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Material, the Water Mist Ice Crystal, on behalf of Chen Mobai.


    Indeed, it was found in the Snow-blowing Palace.


    However, it was referred to as the ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡± over there. It was a unique kind of Ice Crystal used by Snow Country¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators for purifying Spiritual Power. They also discovered that it could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment for those with the Ice Spiritual Root and viewed it as a strategic resource, hence not available for sale.

 Chapter 712 - Chapter 712: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_2

    Chapter 712: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_2


    However, Chen Mobai knew that the so-called not for sale to outsiders was only due to an unsatisfactory price.


    Thus, he authorized Liu Wenbo to associate with the cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, letting his senior disciple negotiate on his behalf and find out what conditions would make them willing to sell this ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡±.


    The reputation of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s first-ranked sword cultivator still carried weight in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Lan Lingping, the outer chief elder of Snow-blowing Palace, was willing to have a face-to-face discussion with Chen Mobai about this matter.


    Lan Lingping was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, ranking third in the Snow-blowing Palace just behind the Core Formation Old Ancestor and the Sect Leader; her willingness to meet suggested she respected Chen Mobai.


    Liu Wenbo, not being able to make decisions on behalf of his master, sent this matter over in a message talisman.


    Looking at the date, Chen Mobai noticed it was sent a month ago.


    By now, Liu Wenbo should have returned to the sect as the year-end competition was very important for Qi Cultivation Disciples. Next year, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms would mature and by then, Zeng Woyou would pick and refine three batches of Foundation Building Pills.


    In name, these three batches of Foundation Building Pills are allocated to the Golden Cliff, but what if there were extras after they are refined?


    Perhaps a few of the top-ranking true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect could benefit ahead of time.


    Although this news was only known among the higher ups, Chen Mobai, as the initiator, had already let his three disciples in on it.


    Therefore, besides Zhuo Ming, who had little confidence in himself, both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were eager and already waiting for this day.


    Chen Mobai checked the other message talismans and saw that Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan had both gone to Divine Wood City for the annual Sect Competition, and had reported back to him.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    During his seclusion, they had also hired some Sect Qi Cultivation Disciples to operate puppets and had harvested and sorted out all the ripe Fire Spirit Rice from the thousand acres for the year-end, and stored them in the warehouse.


    The sale of these Spirit Rice also required Chen Mobai to come up with a strategy.


    After all, the Body Forging Department of the Divine Wood Sect was already saturated, and even if the remaining quantity was sold in the markets of all of Jian Country, it was expected to be like a drop in the ocean and not able to do much.


    But even if it can¡¯t be sold off, it can be used to brew wine, or be both sold and given to the sect¡¯s Qi Cultivation Disciples as a form of advertisement.


    Luo Yixuan spoke about the recent half-year situation in the Eastern Wilderness; along the border of Lei Nation, there had been frequent frictions between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, and it seemed that they were just short of the two upper levels tearing each other¡¯s face off and declaring war openly.


    However, amidst such circumstances, Zhou Wangshen, the town guard, seemed to be unable to hold it together any longer; a few days ago, Xie Yuntian of the Sword Training Department had led a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Disciples over to support him.


    However, as a Qi Cultivation Disciple, she didn¡¯t understand the specific situation very well.


    After reading the Message Talismans from his three disciples, Chen Mobai immediately selected those from his good friends, Yuan Chiye and Yue Zutao.


    As expected, they knew more and were more specific, and both had already been assigned by Chu Zuoshu to the frontline of Lei Nation.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had yet to start a large-scale war, casualties among the cultivators from both countries on the border became increasingly frequent.


    Zhou Wangshen was a man who couldn¡¯t stand to have a grain of sand in his eye; at the start when he was personally guarding the border, he had fiercely fought with the town guard from the Rock Country several times.


    With his mysterious Taoist Body, he barely held on to a tie.


    However, not long after Ji Dingjin arrived at the front line, Zhou Wangshen could no longer hold on.


    When facing someone at the late stage Foundation Establishment, he could still rely on his Taoist Body and magic artifacts to resist; however, when the Body Cultivator at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment took action, Zhou Wangshen was utterly defeated. If it were not for the life-saving Spirit Talisman given by Zhou Old Ancestor, he would have probably died on the spot.


    Fortunately in a war between two major sects, apart from being overwhelmed by a higher realm, most of the time they could make up for the gap through the number of cultivators and formations.


    After Zhou Wangshen was defeated by Ji Dingjin, he began to retreat, leading the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect back to a market that had been prepared with a Rank-3 Formation long ago, and held off the fierce attack from Shake Mountain.


    Although Ji Dingjin believed himself to be invincible at the Foundation Establishment stage, he would not dare to enter a Rank-3 Formation alone.


    Instead, he turned to lead the disciples of Shake Mountain and took back two Spirit Stone Mines and a Jing Tie Mine that had been taken by the Divine Wood Sect during the last war.


    But not long after that, the Divine Wood Sect, with the help of a pre-prepared teleportation array, sent Xie Yuntian and twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators as reinforcements and launched a counterattack.


    However, Ji Dingjin was truly formidable; being a Body Cultivator who had once attempted Core Formation and was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, even Chu Zuoshu could only defend himself against Ji Dingjin by utilizing the traits of the Immortality Texts.


    Although Xie Yuntian was the second sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, and his Green Sun Fire Sword Light was well-honed, he was still no match for Ji Dingjin.


    After the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain battled fiercely for three days and nights, Xie Yuntian could only rely on numerical superiority, forming a battle array to push them back within the borders of Rock Country.

    Afterward, it was the skirmish between the cultivators from both factions at the borders.


    There were also many rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, creating disturbances. Together with the coteries of cultivators dispatched from Rock Country and Lei Nation, the area became the most chaotic place in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among them, there were also message talismans from Chu Zuoshu.


    The message was for Chen Mobai to standby; should the order to wage war from the Two Old Ancestors comes down, he, as the foremost sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, would have to head to Lei Nation to suppress the situation.


    Chen Mobai selected a few important responses to his messages, and then went to Divine Wood City to meet Chu Zuoshu in person.

 Chapter 713 - Chapter 713: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_3

    Chapter 713: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_3


    ¡°An inevitable showdown with Mountain Shaker Peak is on the horizon, but I can¡¯t predict exactly when it will occur. Our two Elders are currently allying with various factions, ensuring that Ji Zhenshi can be killed in the imminent war, thereby effectively eliminating Mountain Shaker Peak.¡±


    As a direct disciple, Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t conceal anything from Chen Mobai and shared the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s plan.


    Unlike the previous surprise attack, Ji Zhenshi, having learned his lesson, would undoubtedly be prepared. Apart from him and South Teacher Dao from Liu Jia Mountain, he would likely invite a Golden Core Cultivator to strengthen his line-up, ensuring an even three against three amongst top cultivators.


    It remains to be seen if the other side will include renowned Golden Core Elders from the Eastern Wilderness or from outside its borders.


    However, if he could think of these possibilities, Elders Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue could undoubtedly foresee them as well.


    If you invite someone, I can do the same.


    The current situation is that the higher-ups of both forces are broadly soliciting allies.


    ¡°Generally speaking, in conflicts between major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, we rarely invite cultivators from outside the region, as it would break the norm. However, this time we aim to annihilate Mountain Shaker Peak. If Ji Zhenshi can sense that his survival is at stake, he certainly won¡¯t care about these conventions. Therefore, we can¡¯t push him too hard.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu spoke, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    The Eastern Wilderness was once a battleground of power plays between the Five Elements Sect and non-Five Elements Sect factions.


    However, after the disintegration of the Five Elements Sect, the Divine Wood Sect emerged as the most prominent player.


    The Five Elements Sect may have been supporting them from behind. After all, during the separation, all four factions had fallen out except for the Water Vein because of their historically neutral position, which somewhat preserved the harmony.


    However, during the previous attempt to eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak, Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace sided with Ji Zhenshi. If we wish to succeed this time, we must also take these two factions into consideration.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I will be discussing a business deal with Lan Lingping from the Snow-blowing Palace in a few days. I can try to gauge their intentions.¡±


    Chen Mobai was there to report this matter. Given the looming war, any meeting with high-ranking officials from other sects would be treated sensitively unless previously announced.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Perfect timing. I¡¯ll write a letter that you can deliver on my behalf. As long as True Monarch Kong remains outside of Snow Country during the war, we at the Divine Wood Sect will generously reward them.¡±


    As for what the grand reward would be, Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t specify. After all, verbal promises can be retracted or delayed as long as they are not bound by an oath.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected to be given this task. However, he soon realized that Lan Lingping might be trying to gauge the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s determination to wage war against Mountain Shaker Peak through their conversation.


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, the sect competition also ended perfectly.


    Liu Wenbo performed well this time, making it into the top twelve. However, the most impressive of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s disciples was still Luo Yixuan. She made it to the finals this year, but unfortunately lost to Li Yixian, who had a Rank-2 puppet.


    But this was largely Chen Mobai¡¯s fault. After Li Yixian led the Puppet Division to help him forge agricultural puppets, Li earned a considerable amount of Green Yang Spiritual Wood, enabling him to fully upgrade his nearly Rank-2 puppet.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, next year I¡¯ll teach you how to break his Blue Sun Puppet.¡±


    Seeing Luo Yixuan return somewhat sullenly, Chen Mobai said something that brightened her eyes.


    ¡°Master, but that Blue Sun Puppet is Rank-2. Can I, a mere Qi Cultivator, really break it?¡±


    After hearing her question, Chen Mobai proudly sipped his tea.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I am immodest, but when it comes to the mastery of puppetry techniques, no one in the Eastern Wilderness can equal me.¡±


    Indeed, although the pinnacle of puppet technique in the immortal sect was only Rank-3, the theoretical foundation and manipulation skills were far superior here, ahead of numerous versions.


    If Chen Mobai were willing, he could probably master the pinnacle of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s puppetry technique in a year.


    Should he create a protective Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet for each disciple?


    Acting on his thought, he went to the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect and found the origins of the sect¡¯s puppet techniques.


    Called ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry,¡± it originated from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and was likely the property of the Longevity Sect.


    The caretaker of the Book Pavilion was still Elder Brother Hu Jinshan. Even though Chen Mobai had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, making him a junior, Hu Jinshan¡¯s face looked slightly older, but he still remembered every book in the library with utmost clarity.


    ¡°Elder Chen, these are the puppet geneses from Rank-1 to Rank-2. If you require techniques at Rank-2 or higher, you will need to apply at the Transfer of Power Department. Once the application process is completed there, I can provide you with the materials.¡±


    After receiving the puppetry genesis, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t browse it immediately. After hearing Hu Jinshan¡¯s words, he gave it a cursory glance and found that indeed only the Rank-1 Red Sun Puppet and Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet were included. However, these were enough for him.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After returning to his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai began to study ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry.¡±


    Despite only detailing the method to forge Rank-1 and Rank-2 puppets, it provided a complete introduction to the puppet inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    These techniques were originally passed down by the Hun Yuan Ancestor. It was unknown if he obtained them from the Divine Tree Secret Realm or if they were left by the True Monarch Yi Yuan.


    This ¡°Art of Longevity Puppetry¡± surprisingly reached up to Rank-4.


    The Rank-1 Red Sun, the Rank-2 Blue Sun, and the Rank-3 Golden Sun represented the three grades of Spiritual Wood found in Giant Tree Ridge.

 Chapter 714 - Chapter 714: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_4

    Chapter 714: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_4


    Further up, naturally, Everlife Wood would be used as material. Puppets refined with it were called ¡°Everlife Wood Dragons¡±.


    During the Five Elements Sect era, the Hun Yuan Elder had once refined a complete wood dragon that was known as the ¡°Little Azure Dragon¡± in the Eastern Wilderness. It could suppress all Gold Cores below the Nascent Soul level.


    Regrettably, it was demolished during a battle against a powerful enemy, leaving only the remnants to be collected.


    [As the Master said, during the ancient peak period of the Longevity Sect, there were forty-nine wood dragons protecting under the seat of the Sect Hierarch. When these forty-nine wood dragons combined, they could form a Rank-5 Everlife Azure Dragon, which was the peak of puppetry. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see the layout of the Rank-5 Azure Dragon, which is a great pity]


    Chen Mobai found this remark at the end of the book on The Art of Longevity Puppetry, signed by Hun Yuan.


    This founder of the Five Elements Sect was a genius in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Puppetry, and Talisman Crafting. If it weren¡¯t for the excessive complexity in refining the Everlife Wood Dragon and the inability to procure the rarest of materials, the Five Elements Sect could still reign over the Eastern Wilderness with the wood dragon, even after Hun Yuan¡¯s passing.


    As for the Master referred to by Elder Hun Yuan, it should be the last Ascended Monk of the Tianhe Realm, True Monarch Yi Yuan.


    Chen Mobai, who wasn¡¯t initially interested in The Art of Longevity Puppetry, suddenly felt that he had been a bit too arrogant after reading it.


    The puppetry of the Tianhe Realm could be a source of learning, even if it was rough compared to the Immortal Sects because they had reached the peak in their own right.


    Thus, he sought out Lu Yi, the head of the Cultivation Technique Division, hoping to view the full version of ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry,¡± especially the layout of the ¡°Everlife Wood Dragon¡±.


    ¡°I can grant you the layout and inheritance of the Rank-3 Golden Sun Puppet, but all inheritances related to the Rank-4 Everlife Wood Dragon are with Elder Fu Zongjue. If you want to see them, you may need to find him.¡±


    Lu Yi had a good relationship with Chen Mobai. As he wrote the notes, he spoke honestly.


    Only the two elders are qualified to grasp the Everlife Wood Dragon, for it requires Everlife Wood as a material. The Divine Wood Sect only possesses three of them.


    And Fu Zongjue, who achieved Dao through puppetry, had naturally taken all the inheritances in this field.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you keep a backup in your Cultivation Technique Division?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai asked curiously, thinking about what if Elder Fu were lost in a magic duel and his storage bag was broken, wouldn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect lose the Rank-4 inheritance of The Art of Longevity Puppetry!


    ¡°Now that you mention it, I remember there should be a backup in the Puppetry Division. You can go find An Jinghui.¡±


    After listening to Lu Yi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai headed to the Puppetry Division.


    An Jinghui was not there, but his disciple, Li Yixian, was. Thinking that Chen Mobai had come again to request puppet crafting, Li ran towards Chen to welcome him.


    ¡°I¡¯m looking for your master¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained his purpose, Li Yixian looked a bit disappointed, but promptly went out to notify his master.


    ¡°Chen Junior, what a rare guest.¡±


    In a short while, An Jinghui arrived. After several interactions with Chen Mobai, they had become friends.


    After a brief conversation, Chen Mobai narrated his purpose.


    ¡°About this matter, as you know, the Rank-4 inheritances are very much the foundation and extremely precious to our sect. It is not that I don¡¯t trust you, but it would be prudent to inform Elder Fu and obtain his consent. Only then can I rightfully let you see it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, An Jinghui looked uneasy.


    It was only then that Chen Mobai realized that the Eastern Wilderness was not an Immortal Sect, which paid utmost importance to cultivation technique inheritances, and sometimes would rather let them fade into obscurity than risk imparting them rashly.


    Initially, he had thought that as a Golden Core Cultivator, Fu Zongjue shouldn¡¯t be disturbed over minor matters. Now it seemed that without the nod of the two elders, he really couldn¡¯t get access to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s inheritances above Rank-3.


    ¡°I was overbearing in this matter.¡±


    Once Chen Mobai realized this, he apologized to An Jinghui. Seeing that Chen understood the situation, An felt relieved, no longer needing to be stuck in a dilemma.


    After leaving the Puppetry Division, Chen didn¡¯t directly approach Fu Zongjue.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, only the Sect Hierarch and Quan Shanlin from the Penalty Evil Hall could freely meet Fu Zongjue. He certainly wouldn¡¯t bother either of them over this matter.


    His curiosity about the layout of the Everlife Wood Dragon was merely roused after reading The Art of Longevity Puppetry, and it wasn¡¯t a must-have.


    Also, once he reached the Gold Core stage, all Divine Wood Sect inheritances would be revealed to him. There was no need to rush at this point.


    After returning to his courtyard, Chen Mobai called over Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Go to Snow Country and arrange a time with Lan Lingping. Have our meeting in the White Moon Market. I would like to see her.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Yes, master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo had no hesitation and immediately left via the sect¡¯s Teleportation Array to carry out the task.


    This year, in the Grand Sect Competition, Zhuo Ming made rapid progress and entered the top one hundred. Unfortunately, due to a lack of experience in magic duels, he lost to a Qi practitioner of the same realm during the top 96 to 48 round.


    ¡°Good, progress is what matters. It shows that the direction of your hard work is correct.¡±


    Chen Mobai always praised and educated his disciples. His teaching style was totally different from the generally strict teachers in the Eastern Wilderness¨Cthis little difference made Zhuo Ming and the other two feel comfortable in Xiao Nanshan.

 Chapter 715 - Chapter 715: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_5

    Chapter 715: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_5


    In the environment of freedom and relaxation, they not only liberated their latent dispositions, but also consciously maintained the good tradition of mutual aid between themselves.


    As expected, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming, who was previously a little worried, let out a smile, completely relaxing her heart.


    After returning to Xiao Nanshan with his two new disciples, Chen Mobai took the time to pay a visit to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He expertly touched the Talent Tree. He wasn¡¯t sure if the tree could sense his thoughts, but it started to send a massive amount of data, and this time it even gave him a blueprint called ¡°Purple Sun Puppet¡±.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s proficiency in Puppetry Technique, he could easily see that the Purple Sun Puppet was a part of The Art of Longevity Puppetry. The Hun Yuan ancestor might have received an incomplete version of the art and missed this puppet.


    The Purple Sun Puppet is a high grade Rank-3 puppet, positioned between the Golden Sun Puppet and the Everlife Wood Dragon. Most of the materials required for it come from the Golden Sun Spirit Wood, with a small part coming from the Longevity Spirit Wood.


    Once it was completed, it would possess immense power, enough to face off against cultivators in the middle and later stages of the Gold Core realm.


    After reading the blueprint, Chen Mobai believed it could be of great use to the Divine Wood Sect. If Fu Zongjue could craft this puppet, it could surely play a decisive role in the coming battle against the Shake Mountain.


    But, did Elder Fu have the ability to craft the Purple Sun Puppet?


    With the thought of offering the blueprint to the sect when he gets a chance, Chen Mobai visited the Devouring Heaven Serpent.


    This time, his Divine Sense realm had greatly improved. In just an instant, he locked onto the Little Black Snake hiding in the shadow of a leaf.


    After capturing it with his Spiritual Light hand, he noticed that its aura had grown to that of a Rank-2 Qi Cultivation realm. This seemed to be due to eating too many leaves; its originally pitch-black body was now turning azure black. However, its size remained the same, still very small. If one didn¡¯t look carefully, they might even mistake it for a large earthworm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations towards the Devouring Heaven Serpent were now completely different. He hoped it could condense a drop of Azure Dragon¡¯s Blood. Therefore, he fed it a piece of lower-grade Spirit Stone, and even used the Flame Lighting Technique to help it refine it.


    After feeding it three pieces of lower-grade Spirit Stones consecutively, and feeling the Spiritual Energy within the Devouring Heaven Serpent becoming full, Chen Mobai finally stopped. He happily returned it to the forest area he had dedicated for its cultivation.


    Then, he took out the Heavenly Calculation Bead kept nearby and started checking on his Spider Puppets.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Over the past year, through these Spider Puppets, Chen Mobai had found three Qingyang Spirit Trees in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and because of it, he had thought of refining a Blue Sun Puppet for each of his three disciples.


    Recently, his luck seemed to be doing quite well. After checking the information within the Heavenly Calculation Bead, he found that one of his Spider Puppets had disappeared, which meant it had encountered another Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Chen Mobai discerned the direction where the puppet had disappeared from the information in the bead, and promptly went there using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape technique.


    Soon, he found a Qingyang Spirit Tree, that was nearly burnt to ashes, in an open charred land.


    Surprisingly, it was a Qingyang Spirit Tree that was in the process of evolving to Rank-3.


    Its robust branches, curled like dragons, had been turned into ashes by the burning, leaving only the thickest main trunk. But even this was being charred and fallen off piece by piece under the burning of the spiritual fire. If it was to continue burning, the trunk would disappear.


    If he was lucky, he would be left with seeds of Qingyang Fire.


    If he was not, he would end up with only a pile of black ashes.


    Chen Mobai remembered the scene where Mu Yuan had created Qingyang Fire Seeds. He could do it too.


    But for the current Chen Mobai, who had understood the crux of the Pure Yang Scroll, he could create Qingyang Fire at any time. It was no longer considered rare.


    Thus, a bold idea crossed his mind.


    Could he help this Qingyang Spirit Tree complete its evolution? If so, he would possess a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    But how could he help?


    Right now, there was definitely no time to search for information in the Divine Wood Sect, so he had to rely on his own understanding. He channeled his pure Longevity Spiritual Power into the tree trunk, hoping to help the Qingyang Spirit Tree survive the burning of the spiritual fire.


    However, he found that Longevity Spiritual Power didn¡¯t have much effect on the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    But, the moment he touched the trunk, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense could feel the endless life force of the tree that was being ignited under the burning spiritual fire.


    It was thanks to his Fire Spirit Body that he could sense such fine details in the process of the spiritual fire¡¯s ignition.


    Speaking of life force, Chen Mobai remembered the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    As a last-ditch effort, he condensed the gentle Yi Wood Thunder Light using Longevity Spiritual Power, then carefully guided it into the burning Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    As expected, it had the desired effect.


    The Divine Thunder of life rejuvenated the weakening life force of the Qingyang Spirit Tree, prolonging its impending demise.


    However, it was only regretful that Chen Mobai discovered this Qingyang Spirit Tree too late. If he had been there at the start of its evolution and injected it with the Divine Thunder, he might have been able to help it complete its transformation.


    Seeing that all the bark had been burned away and that the trunk was about to be consumed by the Spirit Fire, a trace of regret appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    However, even if it couldn¡¯t transform, he had a second way to save this peak Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He invoked the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± he had acquired from the Talent Tree.


    He had also managed to practice this Spirit Plant Technique to Rank-2 this year, and it was perfect to turn this Qingyang Spirit Tree into a ¡°Tree Seed¡±.


    Compared to the conventional method of the Divine Wood Sect, Kindwood Mantra was much more convenient and simple.


    Chen Mobai speculated that the Tree Seed Technique of the sect might have evolved from this longevity cultivating technique for Spirit Plants.


    In no time, a verdant tree seed fell into his palm.

 Chapter 716 - Chapter 716: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_1

    Chapter 716: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_1


    After transforming the Qingyang Spirit Tree that had failed the tribulation into a seed, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    During his last war with the Mountain Shaker Peak, he had used a Rank-2 tree seed, but unfortunately, it was the sect¡¯s asset, which he returned later.


    Although he mainly relies on Sword Dao in his magic duels, he had put a lot of effort into the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Immortality Scriptures as well and had always wanted his own Rank-2 tree seed.


    Now he finally got it.


    In fact, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect wanted a Qingyang tree seed, they could apply for it, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think it was worth spending his sect contribution and spirit stones, so he had put it off until now.


    He drew a Heavenly Wood Talisman on the spot and then deployed the iconic Domain Expansion of the Immortality Scriptures.


    The tree seed hit the ground, and a Qingyang Spirit Tree, much smaller than before it passed the tribulation, quickly took root and sprouted, enveloping Chen Mobai under its lush canopy.


    Chen Mobai used the Spirit Leaf Technique, Sky Tree Spirit Light Technique, and so on. In the dense, wood-spiritual-energy environment of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he seemed to be the tree god controlling all the trees, picking leaves and flying flowers, his green light was like a sword.


    From a distance, half of the sky was covered in green spiritual light.


    After practicing all the spells in the Immortality Scriptures, Chen Mobai was satisfied and withdrew the Rank-2 tree seed.


    After all, it was a Qingyang Spirit Tree that triggered the spiritual fire to cross the tribulation. The grade of the resulting tree seed was very high.


    It will be very useful on the battlefield in the future for clearing out lower-realm cultivators.


    Chen Mobai also thought that after he completed Core Formation in the future and all his Immortality Spiritual Power was absorbed by the Pure Yang Scroll, this tree seed could also be given to his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo.


    After all, among his three disciples, only he had practiced the Immortality Scriptures.


    At this point, he received a message from the avatar of his No-Form puppet staying in Xiao Nanshan, Liu Wenbo was back.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Chen Mobai had been thinking about going to the Big Dao Tree again, but he had to put it off for now.


    After all, Yan Bingxuan had told him that he should prepare for his first attempt at Foundation Establishment at the end of the holiday year. His kindness in helping him understand Ice Breath must be repaid.


    And the Big Dao Tree was right here, he could come anytime.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai buried the Heavenly Calculation Bead that controlled the spider puppets underground, and then had the remaining puppets search around this area for any Rank-2 or above Spirit Trees within a hundred miles.


    Over the past year, he had used the Spider Puppets to explore a range of three thousand kilometers in this Divine Tree Secret Realm and had found four Qingyang Spirit Trees.


    But for him now, Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Trees are not considered precious. It would be best if he could find a Golden Sun Spirit Tree, so he could refine the Rank-3 sword talisman recorded in the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    All Rank-3 talisman paper in the Eastern Wilderness is made from natural treasures, such as the leaves and bark of spirit trees, and the beast skins of demonic beasts.


    Chen Mobai could only produce Rank-2 jade talisman paper in the factory of the immortal gate, and the quality was quite average. So, if he wanted to use it here, the best course would be to adapt to local customs and use the spirit tree leaves to make talisman paper.


    In the war against the Mountain Shaker Peak, since the Divine Wood Sect was going to send him out as the main general, he was certainly going to seize the opportunity to secure some strategic resources.


    He didn¡¯t even need to bring it up. Chu Zuoshu indicated that soon, he would let the Spirit Treasure Pavilion list three Green Wood Evil talismans for Chen Mobai to practice three more Sword Sha to improve his combat power.


    Although Xie Yuntian was not very willing, he still knew the overall situation, especially since Chen Mobai had refined the Green Flames Sword Slaughter earlier than him, he obviously had more qualifications to refine the Green Wood Evil.


    If they followed the rules of the Eastern Wilderness, the sect could directly give the Green Wood Evil to Chen Mobai. The fact that Chu Zuoshu was willing to repeatedly negotiate with Xie Yuntian showed that he was already giving a lot of face to this head of the Sword Training Department.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s current Divine Sense Realm, controlling seven Green Flames Sword Slaughters was more than enough.


    However, when he was engaged in a Magic Duel, he usually won within a few swords. These seven Sword Slaughters were a bit too much, so he was thinking about whether to refine one into a ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    After all, it¡¯s a Rank-3 talisman. If he can refine it, then in the Eastern Wilderness, it means he¡¯s a Rank-3 Talisman Maker.


    When he returned to Xiao Nanshan, Liu Wenbo was already waiting outside the Cloud Mist Array.


    Chen Mobai put away the No-Form puppet and stepped out of the wooden house leisurely.


    ¡°Greetings, Master. Elder Lan Lingping from the Snow-blowing Palace is already waiting for you at the White Moon Market.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is she in such a hurry?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised after hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s words.


    Normally, he should be the one in a hurry, after all, as it stands, only the Snow-blowing Palace has the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, practically a monopoly.


    But now it seems like Snow-blowing Palace values this meeting with him even more than he had thought.


    But this is also good news.


    The chances of a successful negotiation just got bigger.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With Chu Zuoshu¡¯s command in hand, Chen Mobai no longer hid his intentions and brazenly took Liu Wenbo through the sect¡¯s teleportation array to the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Town Guard, long time no see.¡±


    Bai Dingxian, the head of the Bai family, who had already received the news, was waiting outside the teleportation array. Chen Mobai had become friends with him after a few trades and responded with a smile.


    ¡°Elder Lan is waiting for you at your South Mountain Shop. There are some matters at our tea mountain, so I won¡¯t accompany you.¡±


    However, Bai Dingxian seemed reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the Divine Wood Sect and the Snow-blowing Palace. He exchanged pleasantries with Chen Mobai for a while and informed him of Lan Lingping¡¯s location before hastily leaving.

 Chapter 717 - Chapter 717: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2

    Chapter 717: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2


    ¡°Wen Bo, you should learn from Bai Brother¡¯s steady style,¡±


    Chen Mobai looked appreciatively at Bai Dingxian¡¯s retreating figure. Such a person could survive well in the Eastern Wilderness, no wonder the Bai family under his leadership was gradually gaining the reputation of being the first family of Jian Country.


    White Moon Market was located at the far north of Jian Country, bordering Snow Country, and the Bai family¡¯s business extended there. Therefore, when Lan Lingping visited, Bai Dingxian had to greet her, as she was someone he couldn¡¯t afford to offend.


    However, after taking care of both sides, he promptly excused himself and withdrew, an action that Chen Mobai admired greatly.


    ¡°Outer gate disciple Lan Lingping pays her respects to Divine Wood Sect Elder Chen,¡±


    In the South Mountain Shop at White Moon Market, a beautiful woman in blue bowed to Chen Mobai.


    Behind her stood a female cultivator in a light blue dress, who appeared to be her disciple. Her face was veiled, so her features were not visible, but her eyes were as spectacular as a painting, her skin like snow, and her figure tall. She was likely another breathtaking beauty.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about Elder Lan; having seen you today, your charm is truly unmatched,¡±


    Lan Lingping was famous as a fairy in the Eastern Wilderness in her youth. Now, although she was a mature woman, she was even more attractive. However, Chen Mobai was not interested in such charms. After exchanging courtesies, he led them to the meeting room upstairs.


    As the Town Guard of Jian Country, the South Mountain Shop in White Moon Market occupies a prime location and is a three-story building.


    The third floor is the warehouse, the second floor is the meeting room, and the ground floor is the normal selling area.


    After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping took their seats, Liu Wenbo skillfully began to brew tea. The veiled female cultivator kneeled to the side, listening attentively.


    ¡°I need the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, Elder Lan, please name your price. What will it take to sell?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a candid man and spoke directly about the reason he had invited Lan Lingping.


    ¡°Please allow me to speak straightforwardly. This Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was obtained by our sect from the Snow Mountain Cold Pond. It is very useful for our cultivation in the Snow-blowing Palace, but it should not be of use to the Divine Wood Sect, Elder Chen. As a sword cultivator, why are you so obsessed with this item?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Lan Lingping didn¡¯t answer directly, but instead asked about her own doubts.


    ¡°Does this have anything to do with the trade?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled, but Lan Lingping nodded solemnly, her face serious.


    ¡°Not to conceal, my mastery of the Red Flame Sword Jue has reached a high level, and the Red Flame Spirit Power has undergone a metamorphosis, becoming extremely fierce and fiery. I need to use cold attribute spiritual objects to balance it out, remove the dry heat, in order to continue making progress. After asking around, I found that your sect has the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, which I seek,¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t tell the truth, he recalled a television series about Grandmaster Yuan Yang that he had watched when he was young.


    This Divinity Transformation True Monarch¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power had once encountered a great tribulation because it was too domineering. He was always unable to integrate his spirit into his Qi and form the Nascent Soul.


    Later, he used the portal to go to Taiyin Star, absorbed the Taiyin Profound Qi, neutralized the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, and was able to proceed to the Nascent Soul Formation stage.


    Chen Mobai slightly modified this and applied it to himself. He initially thought that the Snow-blowing Palace might not believe him, but found that Lan Lingping seemed enlightened after hearing his explanation.


    ¡°So that¡¯s it, I didn¡¯t expect Elder Chen to encounter this kind of problem,¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled after hearing these words. He just made it up on the spot.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, our Snow-blowing Sect¡¯s practice of ¡®Ice Clearing Heaven Heart Method¡¯ allows us to cultivate Ice Spirit Power from the Water Spirit Root. However, if one does not possess a true Ice Spirit Root, the physical body will become rigid as one advances the cultivation,¡±


    Lan Lingping laughed and explained to Chen Mobai. This situation was exactly the opposite of his situation but achieved the same end results. While speaking, she signaled her veiled female disciple to approach and extend her hands hidden in her long sleeves.


    Chen Mobai saw her hands, as pale as snow and without any blood, as if the blood in her veins had lost their heat and had become light green.


    ¡°Xue Ting is an example. If she doesn¡¯t resort to absorbing the gentle Fire Spiritual Power every year, with the advancement of her cultivation level, her physical body will slowly become cold and lose sensation. This is the trade I want to discuss with Elder Chen,¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shifted his gaze from Xue Ting¡¯s pale hands to Lan Lingping and had a vague understanding of why she had sought him out.


    ¡°Elder Lan, feel free to make your request!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Lan Lingping nodded. She then reached into her storage bag and took out a handful of substance which, when she opened her fingers, revealed Spirit Rice that lay on the tea table, shining like crystal jade but with a faint hint of scarlet.


    Chen Mobai was very familiar with this, it was the Fire Spirit Rice from their South Mountain Shop.


    ¡°Is this rice useful for you?¡±


    ¡°After Qi Cultivation disciples practice, eating a bowl of this rice revitalizes their blood and energy,¡±

    As Lan Lingping spoke, she took out a small rice pot. She put the Fire Spirit Rice from the tea table into the pot with water, and after a short while, there was a faint aroma of rice.


    The female cultivator named Xue Ting, in front of Chen Mobai, lowered her head and ate the cooked Fire Spirit Rice through her veil.


    In a short while, the pale hands of Xue Ting slowly became rosy, giving them a lifelike feel.


    ¡°I see, so it¡¯s only useful for Qi Cultivation disciples?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already quite remarkable. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would wear a Thousand-year Warm Jade to activate their Qi and blood. Since there are not many people in this stage, every elder in our Snow-blowing Palace can have one,¡±

 Chapter 718 - Chapter 718: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_3

    Chapter 718: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_3


    As Lan Lingping spoke, she reached into her neckline and pulled out a creamy white jade token. It was soft, delicate, and contained a warm vital energy.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes twitched slightly.


    In the realm of the immortals, there existed a similar piece of Warm Jade. It was Taiyuan True Monarch¡¯s primary Magic Artifact and had existed for thousands of years alongside this Divinity Transformation True Monarch. It had already reached the lower rank of Rank-5 of Spiritual Treasures and could ward off inner demons and external threats. It was also the inherited Spiritual Treasure of all the past principals of the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t believe that every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Snow-blowing Palace had a piece of Warm Jade.


    ¡°May I ask, how would you solve the problem of physical rigidity for Golden Core Cultivators?¡±


    ¡°Our Snow-blowing Palace has two pieces of Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai struggled to suppress the sudden rush of impulse. He tactically picked up his teacup, repressing his greedy rogue cultivator-like thoughts.


    The Warm Jade of Taiyuan True Monarch was essentially Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade.


    In other words, Snow-blowing Palace had two pieces of precious materials that could potentially be refined into lower-grade Rank-5 magical artifacts.


    No wonder there were so many rogue cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness; who could resist such temptation?


    ¡°Every year, we spend a lot of Spirit Stones on Back to Sky Valley to help us refine the FireTruth Pill. However, due to the scarcity of the main ingredient, the Fire Lotus, we can only ensure that the direct disciples and some outstanding disciples use it.¡±


    ¡°As a result, our Qi Cultivating disciples at the Snow-blowing Palace have been living very difficult lives. There have been many weak disciples who, after a night of meditation, never wake up again.¡±


    ¡°This year, Elder Chen¡¯s South Mountain Shop has opened in our Snow Country¡¯s Fang Market. One of our disciples purchased some Fire Spirit Rice and discovered its miraculous effects. Thus, I have boldly come to discuss this business venture.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai had managed to calm his restless heart and regain his composure.


    ¡°That¡¯s good news. However, the matter of Spirit Rice is inherently related to a cultivator¡¯s foundation. If it¡¯s a small quantity, I can decide myself. However, if you want to support all the disciples of your sect, I have to report to my sect leader.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Lan Lingping also showed understanding. In the Eastern Wilderness, they still had some basic strategic thinking. If it was a large-scale transaction of Spirit Rice across sects, definitely there would need to be an agreement reached at the highest level of both sects.


    ¡°This is a win-win situation. Our Cold Ice Condensing Crystal can also help your sect¡¯s cultivators practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue to balance their yang energy. If Elder Chen is willing to supply Fire Spirit Rice to our Snow-blowing Palace, there will be benefits.¡±


    What Lan Lingping did not know was that the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was just what Chen Mobai needed. However, seeing that the situation was favorable, he brought up the task that Chu Zuoshu had assigned him.


    ¡°If True Monarch Kong can guarantee to stay out of this matter, I can convince our sect leader and even the two elders to supply all our Fire Spirit Rice to your Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I need to report this.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a gesture of invitation. Lan Lingping requested a quiet room. She somehow managed to communicate with Kong Lingling. After about a cup of tea¡¯s worth of time, she returned with a serious expression on her face.


    ¡°True Monarch Kong said she can agree, but on one condition.¡±


    ¡°Please go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Our Snow-blowing Palace needs your sect to hand over the seed of the Fire Spirit Rice along with the Method of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Lan Lingping said this with embarrassment on her face.


    Chen Mobai managed to keep a straight face, but Liu Wenbo on his side was already frowning. He was very aware of how much effort his master and junior sister had put into cultivating the Fire Spirit Rice.


    They had only planted the Fire Spirit Rice on South Mountain for three or four seasons, and now the Snow-blowing Palace wanted to take it away!


    Despite this, as a disciple, he couldn¡¯t overstep his boundaries since his master hadn¡¯t spoken.


    After Chen Mobai had pondered for a moment, he had already come up with an answer.

 Chapter 719 - Chapter 719: Chapter 430: Big Harvest_1

    Chapter 719: Chapter 430: Big Harvest_1


    ¡°I am inclined to trade with you on this matter.¡±


    After Chen Mobai said this, Lan Lingping was waiting for the key part of his sentence.


    ¡°However, after all, this involves Master Kong, I need to report this to the Sect Leader and even the two elders.¡±


    After hearing this, Lan Lingping naturally nodded. Once matters involved a Golden Core Cultivator, although both of them were considered in the upper ranks of their own sects, it was generally best if both elders personally reached an agreement, as this was more reliable.


    After all, there were too many instances of ruthlessness in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I hope you can speak well for us to your sect¡¯s two elders. This gift is just a token of our goodwill, please accept it.¡±


    After the negotiation, Lan Lingping smiled as she took a jade box out of her storage bag and placed it on the tea table.


    Chen Mobai took it and opened it, feeling a bone-chilling cold gust. It was a light blue, fist-sized, partially translucent crystal.


    Without Lan Lingping¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai already knew that this item was the ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡± he was looking for.


    ¡°I will try my best to convince the Sect Leader and the two elders.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted this gift with satisfaction and said so.


    In fact, the Fire Spirit Rice was his own Spirit Plant. Even if he agreed on the spot, the sect would not object. The main reason for his roundabout request was not only to respect the sect, but also to see if he could gain some more benefits from this.


    Lan Lingping obviously understood this, as she directly presented the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, which made him extremely pleased.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait here for the good news from Elder Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Liu Wenbo to stay with the two women, while he himself used the Teleportation Array to quickly return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡­


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve done a great job this time.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Chu Zuoshu was pleasantly surprised after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s report.


    The Fire Spirit Rice was just a common Spirit Plant in his view. If it could be exchanged for Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s non-interference, he would even be willing to give them the sect¡¯s secret Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Some days ago, I made a breakthrough in my Cultivation Level and was once again teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm. I obtained a blueprint of a thing called Purple Sun Puppet on the Talent Tree. I thought it might be useful to elder Fu.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai gave Chu Zuoshu another big surprise.


    Although Chu Zuoshu was not proficient in Puppetry Technique, he was clear about the grading of puppets. Upon learning that the Purple Sun Puppet was actually Rank-3 high-grade, his face showed a shocked expression.


    ¡°Brother Chen, please wait a moment. I will inform the two elders immediately.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took two talismans and bowed in the direction of the three Divine Woods. The talismans turned into a green smoke rising, and then condensed into the images of Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    The two elders were recently both outside the sect negotiating alliances, but to prevent any incidents from happening at the sect¡¯s main base, Chu Zuoshu was able to contact them directly with these Mirage Scribing Talismans.


    After Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue heard Chu Zuoshu¡¯s report, their eyes sparkled brightly.


    ¡°Just wait a moment, I will send my Puppet Body over.¡±


    Upon hearing about the Purple Sun Puppet, the image of Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t keep up the pretense, and after a while, a green Escaping Light rose from an Everlife Wood and descended into the Shenmu Hall.


    This Puppet Body flew directly to Chen Mobai who immediately took out the finished, a detailed sketch of the Purple Sun Puppet from his storage bag. After Fu Zongjue inspected it, he looked delighted.


    ¡°Very good, very good. With this, I can upgrade my Puppet Body again. By that time, even if I have a one-on-one fight with Ji Zhenshi, I can truly put up a fight.¡±


    Laughing heartily, Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai with very satisfied eyes, even came over and affectionately patted Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder.


    However, because it was a Puppet Body, Chen Mobai felt its hand was rather stiff, and his shoulder felt slightly painful.


    ¡°Reporting to the two elders, besides this, there is also the matter of the Snow-blowing Palace, which I need to report to you¡­¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu also came over and reported the second piece of good news to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Upon hearing this, the two laughed uproariously. With all these good things happening at the same time, it seemed as if heaven was on the side of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Fu Zongjue said, ¡°It just so happens that I have a Puppet Body lurking in Rock Country, I¡¯ll run to Snow Country and meet with Kong Lingling.¡±


    Concerning the war of the sects, only the promises and vows between the Golden Core Cultivators could gain the trust of both parties.


    After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping finished their conversation, they already understood this. Hence, they asked to report back to the sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Two elders, how should we reward Brother Chen for his two major contributions?¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu was seeking merit for Chen Mobai, as the latter was his direct disciple.


    ¡°The Purple Sun Puppet is very important to me, but to play a reversal role in the war, only the four of us can know about it. Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do, I¡¯ll personally give Nephew Chen 100,000 Spirit Stones, and after the Purple Sun Puppet is revealed, award him another 100,000 contribution points in the name of the sect and announce his merit. Brother, what do you think?¡±


    Fu Zongjue had always had a high regard for Chen Mobai. Now, through him, he had gained the Purple Sun Puppet, which made him even more pleased. He promptly gave a huge reward.


    ¡°Good point. While the Snow-blowing Palace matter may not be as impactful as the Purple Sun Puppet, it is still a considerable achievement. Since we can¡¯t award contribution points for now to avoid letting outsiders lurking within the sect catch wind of it, I will use something else as a substitute.¡±

 Chapter 720 - Chapter 720: Chapter 430 Great Harvest_2

    Chapter 720: Chapter 430 Great Harvest_2


    Zhou Shengqing nodded his head, agreeing with Fu Zongjue¡¯s decision, and then had the latter¡¯s puppet body run to his Everlife Wood and bring back a wooden box.


    Chen Mobai took the box and opened it to find a book and a golden talisman within. The talisman carried spiritual patterns that resembled flames and shimmered with a dazzling golden light that was blinding to look directly at it.


    ¡°This is the Golden Flame Sword Talisman, a rank-3 top-level protective talisman given to me by my master Hun Yuan. If a Golden Core cultivator were to receive a hit from it without proper protection, they may be severely injured or even perish.¡±


    ¡°I originally had five of these, but have used four over the past century. The Golden Core cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness are now largely aware that I have this tool, so they are all on their guard. This last one is not much use to me anymore, so I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    ¡°The book is the Red Flame Sword Jue, personally annotated by my master. It can be practiced to the realm of Perfect Core Formation. It also includes his insights into the construction of sword talismans from rank-1 to rank-4, so I¡¯ll give this to you too.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chu Zuoshu, who was on the side, inevitably showed a shocked expression on his face.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, giving a junior the items bestowed upon oneself by one¡¯s master signified accepting the junior as their own disciple¨Cand not just any disciple, but one from the closest and most legitimate line.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai was not familiar with the customs of the Eastern Wilderness. If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, they would have bowed to Zhou Shengqing by now.


    Regret showed on Fu Zongjue¡¯s face. He also wanted this disciple, but having already accepted Hong He as a disciple earlier, he didn¡¯t feel it was right to compete with Zhou Shengqing now.


    Yet, to his surprise, despite happily accepting the wooden box, Chen Mobai did not pay homage to his potential master.


    ¡°As for the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice, you can handle it entirely. However, we need to curry favor with the Snow-blowing Palace recently, so give them some discounts appropriately.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was slightly disappointed seeing that Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t prostrated, but he was someone who had seen a lot of storms in his life. He soon composed himself and began to issue instructions.


    The recent grand strategy of the Divine Wood Sect was to take down Ji Zhenshi, annex the Mountain Shaker Peak. For this cause, everything else could be compromised.


    Having received such great benefits, Chen Mobai naturally had no objections and nodded enthusiastically.


    At this moment, Fu Zongjue gave him ten more top-grade spirit stones, which made Chen Mobai overjoyed, as this meant he had enough top-grade spirit stones to feed the Purple Electric Sword for a long time.


    ¡°Respected Elder Fu, there¡¯s actually another matter¡­¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai seized the opportunity to bring up the Art of Longevity Puppetry, expressing his desire to see the blueprint of the Rank-4 Longevity Dragon puppet.


    ¡°These are my insights into puppetry, involving blueprints for puppets from Rank-1 to Rank-4. However, despite your extraordinary talent, the blueprint for the Rank-4 Little Azure Dragon is too complex. With your current realm, it¡¯s better not to waste your energy on it.¡±


    Hearing his request, Fu Zongjue, who now found Chen Mobai to be particularly pleasing to the eye, did not hesitate to give him the insights on puppetry he had compiled over the years.


    ¡°Many thanks, Elder Fu. I was just curious.¡±


    Having received more than what he wanted, Chen Mobai left the Shenmu Hall with deep satisfaction. Afterwards, he swiftly proceeded to the White Moon Market via the teleportation array.


    ¡°Elder Lan, it¡¯s done.¡±


    Upon his return, Chen Mobai did not leave Lan Lingping in suspense and directly relayed the good news. Lan Lingping looked delighted upon hearing it.


    ¡°This year, I have 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice on Xiao Nanshan. Elder Lan, if you need it, I can sell it to you at market price.¡±


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll immediately arrange for someone from the sect to come and pick up the goods.¡±


    The two first settled this transaction. Being committed to long-term business based on honesty and integrity, Chen Mobai only charged Lan Lingping 15,000 spirit stones.


    He inquired if there was the possibility of trading using top-grade spirit stones, to which she responded with a wry smile. The Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s top-grade spirit stones were all in Elder Kong¡¯s hands, leaving her only with the ability to mobilize middle-grade spirit stones.


    That was also fine. After all, if Chen Mobai wanted to practice the ¡°Six Solar Body¡±, he still needed 600 middle-grade spirit stones.


    The 300 middle-grade spirit stones from before had already burned through all of his savings accumulated over the past years.


    Now, the only spirit stones he had left were the top-grade ones.


    However, it is the end of the year, and the runes sold by the South Mountain Shop within the Divine Wood Sect are about to be settled. According to last year¡¯s income, there should be approximately 400 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones coming in.


    Together with the 150 intermediate grade Spirit Stones obtained from selling the Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace, as well as the contributions exchanged half a year ago from selling to the Body Forging Department, they would be enough to accumulate the Spirit Stones required for the Six Yang body.


    ¡°Here is the method for cultivating Fire Spirit Rice. However, this kind of Spirit Rice cannot stand cold and harsh environments. Therefore, you would still need to find a suitable Spirit Field within the territories of the two countries under your Snow-blowing Palace for planting.¡±


    After receiving the Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper on the spot, wrote down all the crucial points for planting Fire Spirit Rice, and reminded them as he wrote.


    After receiving the paper covered with writing by Chen Mobai, Lan Lingping was full of admiration for this young man who, though could make his mark on the Eastern Wilderness with his sword talent, was instead infatuated with agriculture.


    The Divine Wood Sect is truly fortunate to have been able to recruit such a disciple.


    ¡°Elder Chen, my disciple, Xue Ting, has a great talent for spiritual plants. Why don¡¯t we have her learn from you? When we plant next spring, she can gain some practical experience with you. As I¡¯m planning to arrange for the disciples in the palace to open up a Spirit Field for planting Fire Spirit Rice, the formal planting will have to wait for half a year. The timing would be just right.¡±


    After the trade talk, Lan Lingping suddenly made a suggestion. The veiled female cultivator sitting by the side, who seemed to have known about this, turned around and bowed to Chen Mobai after hearing it.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the Qi Cultivation female cultivator who bowed deeply to him, highlighting her back and waist curves, and hesitated.


    There were many kinds of hybrid spiritual rice in his South Mountain shop, which were the fruits of his and Zhuo Ming¡¯s labor.


    However, after thinking it over, since he possessed the core technology, he had no fear of the seeds being stolen.


    Furthermore, after Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival in the Eastern Wilderness, he had always harbored a small wish in his heart.


    That was to unify the Eastern Wilderness one day and transform it into a small Immortal sect where everyone has access to Spirit Rice and the opportunity to cultivate immortality.


    If this female cultivator named Xue Ting truly has the talent for spiritual plants and can learn his agricultural knowledge, it would be a good thing for Chen Mobai¡¯s future wish.


    ¡°Alright, let her coordinate with Wenbo on the transportation of these 1500 catties of Fire Spirit Rice first. When this matter is settled, she can come to the South Mountain with Wenbo, and I will make arrangements then.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, while Liu Wenbo, sitting on the side, immediately agreed. Xue Ting, who had been kneeling and paying respects the whole time, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and got up to thank them after hearing his words.


    ¡°Chen Uncle-Master, Brother Liu, please do not hesitate to instruct us in the future.¡±


    This was the first time the two teachers heard Xue Ting speak. Her voice was serene, and it was as if there was a sweet scent of osmanthus and the white pear flower as she spoke.


    After completing the transaction, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with Lan Lingping, then left.


    Upon his return to South Mountain, he immediately summoned his two disciples and told them about selling all the Fire Spirit Rice in the warehouse to the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, I was thinking we¡¯d have to distill all this Spirit Rice into wine¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; Spirit Rice couldn¡¯t be stored for long, so she had planned to hire some people from the Alchemy Department to help in the next few days.


    ¡°Master is incredible, even solving this big problem in just one trip.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Luo Yixuan expressed her admiration after hearing the news.


    ¡°This 1500 catties of Spirit Rice is too much to transport by storage bag. Therefore, we need to use Spirit Beasts to carry it to the White Moon Market. There, your senior brother will hand them over to the people from Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    Chen Mobai explained the details of his trade talks with Lan Lingping. Transportation is a major cost in large transactions, especially in the Eastern Wilderness where there are no vehicles; they could only use Spirit Beasts, making it even more so.


    ¡°Master, my family, the Luo clan, has fifty Spirit Camels, twenty of which frequently travel between Jian Country and Yun Country. If you write a letter, I can take it to the patriarch of the Luo family. He dare not disobey you, so I could guarantee to requisition those twenty camels.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and she immediately began to strategize.

 Chapter 721 - Chapter 721: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_1

    Chapter 721: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_1


    Chen Mobai naturally understood what his little disciple wanted to do. However, he also knew that everyone enjoys returning to their hometown in prosperity. So, as she wished, he wrote a letter, intending to rent the Spirit Camels of the Luo family for the transport of Fire Spirit Rice.


    ¡°We should have some spirit beasts suitable for cargo transport in our sect. Before you go to the Luo family, come with me to the Shenmu Hall. Since this is for the benefit of the sect, let¡¯s save some Spirit Stones under the Sect Leader¡¯s command.¡±


    After instructing Zhuo Ming to go down the mountain and organize the Spirit Rice in the warehouse, Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan to meet Chu Zuoshu. The latter, upon hearing the matter, did not hesitate but directly called for Ma Wuniang, the head of the Spirit Beasts Division.


    ¡°The sect is trading a large quantity of Spirit Rice with the Snow-blowing Palace. Due to the large volume of goods, we need to gather some spirit beasts for transportation. You can negotiate the details with Brother Chen.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu gave his order in the name of the Sect Leader, Ma Wuniang frowned slightly but nodded obediently.


    ¡°Brother Chen, the sect uses Spirit Beasts known as Deer Horses for transportation. There are probably more than a dozen we can currently assign. I need to check with the disciples in charge to get an exact number.¡±


    Ma Wuniang, as one of the twelve division leaders, had a basic understanding of the situation. When she learned that the sect was about to start a war with the Shake Mountain and suddenly needed to transport a large amount of Spirit Rice to the Snow-Blowing Palace, she roughly understood the reasons. Therefore, she immediately took Chen Mobai and his disciple to inspect the Deer Horses.


    This spirit beast, in the form of a horse, had a white head, tiger-like patterns all over its body, and a red tail. Although it couldn¡¯t carry as much weight as the Spirit Camel of the Luo family, it was extremely fast and could travel thousands of miles in a day.


    After inspecting, Ma Wuniang found that there were sixteen Deer Horses in the sect in total. However, two of them had been overworked during the last trip and were still in recovery.


    Chen Mobai let Luo Yixuan handle this matter with the disciple in charge of the Deer Horses from the Spirit Beasts Division. He then thanked Ma Wuniang and took his leave.


    After delegating the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice to his three disciples, Chen Mobai returned to his Celestial Gate.


    Next, he skillfully made a phone call to Yan Bingxuan.


    Chen Mobai: [Where are you?]


    Yan Bingxuan: [I¡¯m at school, waiting for the Snow Spirit Water to arrive so I can start my Foundation Establishment.]


    Chen Mobai: [I have a friend in the Extreme North Heavenly Realm. Thanks to him, I managed to buy a Rank-2 Water Mist Ice Crystal.]


    Upon hearing these words, Yan Bingxuan on the other end of the phone, hesitated a little and asked in disbelief: [Is this¡­for me?]


    Chen Mobai: [Who else would I give it to? I don¡¯t need it.]


    This wasn¡¯t entirely true. For the Red Misty Cloud Silk to upgrade to the Taiyi Five Cloud Silk, Water Mist Ice Crystal was also needed. However, Chen Mobai felt that saying this would make him appear noble, showing that he was willing to sacrifice for his friends.


    After hearing this, Yan Bingxuan was stunned. A feeling she had never experienced before filled her entire being.


    After a long silence, she stuttered in a grateful tone on the other end of the phone: [Thank you. This item requires a lot of Good Deed Points, I will find a way to give them to you.]


    [There is no need to be so formal between us. I¡¯ll send you the item first for you to see if you can use it.]


    After saying this, Chen Mobai asked Yan Bingxuan for the address of the Natural Studies Academy, which was next to the White Stone Heavenly Realm and on the south side of the Rongcheng Heavenly Realm.


    After all, this Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was from the Tianhe Realm. He wasn¡¯t sure if it would be the same as the Water Mist Ice Crystal from the Celestial Gate, so it was better to have Yan Bingxuan, the user, verify it personally.


    Before leaving Crimson Mountain, he looked up to see the lights on in Meng Huang¡¯s villa on the top of the mountain. He was tempted to go there for a meal, but after thinking about it, realized that he might not be able to leave for the night, so he booked a flight to Rongcheng Heavenly Realm overnight.


    By the time he got off the plane, it was already late at night.


    Chen Mobai traveled light, carrying only a small bag. Of course, he had a storage bag in his backpack, which was filled with various items.


    Following Yan Bingxuan¡¯s instructions, he arrived at the pickup point.


    From a distance, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan waiting for him at the entrance, wearing a hat. Even among the crowd, she was still very conspicuous.


    Her delicate features, smooth skin, even just standing there, she was a beautiful and cool sight to behold.


    Their eyes met, and both parties smiled faintly at each other and walked toward each other.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°It¡¯s been almost two years since we last saw each other.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Yan Bingxuan, the beautiful woman, to remember the exact time of their last parting. But hearing her say this, he was inexplicably elated.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    He immediately took out the Jade Box containing the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal from his bag and handed it to Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Thank you. Let¡¯s go have dinner.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan took it without checking, thanked him solemnly, and put it into her small white handbag.


    The two of them walked side by side to a grilled fish restaurant.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The food here is decent.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan sat down, she took off her hat. Her soft, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, instantly softening her normally cold demeanor.


    ¡°Check the item. In case it doesn¡¯t meet your requirements.¡±


    After ordering the dishes, Chen Mobai once again reminded her.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded, took the Jade Box out of her bag, opened it, and the bone-chilling cold made her expression slightly excited. She extended a finger to touch the crystal. The originally fair face suddenly radiated a touch of white light, resembling white jade.

    Chapter 722: 431


    ¡°The quality is exceptional. Even amongst Rank-2 items, it¡¯s among the finest. This is a bit of a waste for me,¡±


    Hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was put at ease.


    It seems that the Snow-blowing Palace has truthfully cherished a favourable affinity with him, and the gift they had given did not embarrass him in front of his old classmates.


    ¡°Does it have any impact on your Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Still, Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. He was afraid that the supreme quality of the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal would adversely affect Yan Bingxuan. After all, for Qi Practitioners, a lower-grade Rank-2 item would be the most appropriate.


    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. The Ice-Water Spirit Qi contained within this Water Mist Ice Crystal is very stable. I can extract as much as I need. If the quality is high, the success rate of my Foundation Establishment will be even greater,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said, her smile at that moment was so astonishing that it took Chen Mobai by surprise. After all, ever since his old classmate had transformed into an Ice Spirit Root, she had maintained the demeanor of an icy beauty. Rarely did she ever smile in his presence.


    This time, her smile radiated from within; her lips slightly upturned, and her eyes squinted, bestowing her with a radiant glow, just like the warm sunshine on a winter¡¯s day, full of brilliance yet gentle.


    ¡°Then let me congratulate you in advance on your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Upon hearing her words, Chen Mobai was delighted and raised a toast to her.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded lightly before drinking, then she stared directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that she had something to say and asked.


    ¡°This Rank-2 high-grade Water Mist Ice Crystal is worth tens of millions of Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sect. I might not be able to repay this debt for a while,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said with a serious face, which surprised Chen Mobai. He hadn¡¯t expected that she was still pondering over this and he shook his head.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you, establishing your foundation is the most important thing right now. Tens of millions of Good Deed Points might sound like a lot for Qi Practitioners, but once you have established your foundation, you¡¯ll find that a few years of hard work will let you earn that amount.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan asked again, ¡°What if I fail to establish my foundation?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, you¡¯re sure to succeed.¡±


    Chen Mobai indeed believed that with her talent and resilience, establishing a foundation wouldn¡¯t be a challenge for her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take your auspicious words, and for the sake of repaying the Good Deed Points for this Water Mist Ice Crystal, I will definitely succeed in establishing my foundation,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan also felt that her previous words were a tad inauspicious and nodded lightly with an apologetic expression.


    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t succeed in establishing your foundation this time, don¡¯t you still have another year left? I will help you get this Water Mist Ice Crystal, as long as you hold onto this firm belief for another year.¡±


    Chen Mobai really hoped that Yan Bingxuan could succeed in her foundation establishment. After all, if it weren¡¯t for her guidance in his early days of acquiring the Cold Ice Technique, he might not have been able to stand out in the entry examination and gain entrance to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    In fact, her key assistance prompted his rise to success.


    Furthermore, the two of them had known each other for over ten years, starting from their high school days; she was the friend he felt closest to among the friends he was still in contact with.


    So as long as Yan Bingxuan doesn¡¯t give up before graduation, Chen Mobai will lend a helping hand.


    ¡°I can probably find a way to work and save up enough to repay you for one of these, but if I needed two and failed in my foundation establishment, I¡¯m afraid I really won¡¯t be able to repay you,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said, with a slightly furrowed brow.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to reassure her to focus on her foundation establishment, she suddenly became serious again and said, ¡°What if I can¡¯t repay you, would you accept me offering myself to you?¡±


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but break into a violent coughing fit, and it took a while for him to recover.


    With a giggle, Yan Bingxuan suddenly burst into laughter.


    Only then did Chen Mobai realize that she was joking, and he couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    He had been wondering how he could decline.


    ¡°Looking at your reaction, it seemed like you were a bit reluctant,¡±


    In front of Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan had completely set her usual cool demeanor aside, revealing her genuine adorable nature.


    ¡°Not at all, it¡¯s just that it was quite sudden, and I was a bit caught off guard,¡±


    There¡¯s no way Chen Mobai would admit that he was reluctant, so he simply worded his reply delicately.


    ¡°But given your kindness towards me, it¡¯s easy for me to misunderstand. I initially thought that you might be interested in me,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was remarkably straightforward today compared to her usual reticence, which was a dramatic adjustment for Chen Mobai, accustomed as he was to her calm and silent demeanor.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have many friends. If you also fail in your foundation establishment, I wouldn¡¯t know who to reminisce about our youthful days with years from now,¡±


    Chen Mobai said, a rare moment of genuine expression.


    At the beginning of the year, Song Zheng attempted to establish his foundation without comprehending the boundary laws, and failed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, Xu Yuan, and other high school classmates also subsequently followed suit and failed in their foundation establishment.


    Only Shi Yuanqing managed to make steady headway under the assurance of the boundary laws, and finally succeeded in establishing her foundation half a year ago.


    Out of the entire class at the Immortal High School No. 5, only Chen Mobai, Cao Yaling, and Shi Yuanqing managed to become true cultivators establishing their foundations. This excited the principal so much that portraits of the three were hung in the school corridor. Even banners praising their accomplishments remained hanging, full of pride.


    Although Chen Mobai was also friends with other high school classmates, his feelings for them were certainly not as deep as they were for his fellow students and classmates.


    After Song Zheng failed his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai called to soothe his disappointment. Yet, he found that the once confident and proud classmate no longer had the same vigor of his youth.

 Chapter 723 - Chapter 723: Chapter 431 Nature Studies Academy (7k)_3

    Chapter 723: Chapter 431 Nature Studies Academy (7k)_3


    As for the class president, Mo Simin, let¡¯s not even mention it, she had already decided to give up after failing at the Foundation Establishment and is planning to find someone to marry to avoid compulsory military service.


    If Yan Bingxuan fails again, it would also be a significant blow to Chen Mobai.


    There¡¯s a feeling of ¡°Between heaven and earth, suddenly like a remote traveler¡±.


    Although with his growing cultivation level, his lifespan is getting longer. Even if it is inevitable, Chen Mobai still hopes to be able to find friends of similar age to chat and gossip during his lifetime.


    ¡°Based on your words, I¡¯ll not only succeed in Foundation Establishment, but will also continuously improve my cultivation level and live as long as you.¡±


    Yan Bing Xuan said this with the most serious tone she had ever used in her life.


    ¡°Then, I look forward to it. I hope you will still be by my side at the end of my way.¡±


    Seeing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s seriousness, Chen Mobai also sincerely responded.


    But in his heart, he felt that this was an impossible thing. After all, he had resources and knowledge from two realms; he had a lot of hope for Core Formation and a slight possibility for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Given Yan Bingxuan¡¯s qualifications, the probability of Foundation Establishment was not low, but in the case of Core Formation, even the stunning Yan Qiongzhi just barely passed. If she follows the path of Yan Qiongzhi, Chen Mobai guesses the farthest she can go would probably be at the Perfecting stage of Foundation Establishment.


    But in his heart, Chen Mobai was very excited at the possibility of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s companion on his future cultivation path.


    Everyone is gregarious, and cultivators are no exception.


    Chen Mobai does not want to be alone in the future.


    After the two finished their late-night snack, they hung out in this Yongcheng Cave and talked about various topics.


    Chen Mobai talked about some interesting things that happened to him in the Daoist Academy and Yan Bingxuan asked about her various doubts about Foundation Establishment. In the end, she even brought up the topic of the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°It was just good luck. My swordsmanship talent is okay, which made the Purple Electric Sword choose me.¡±


    In front of familiar faces, Chen Mobai was quite humble.


    ¡°My teacher told me that you have the Qualification of Deification, so you were able to suppress those three Gold Core cultivators. But why were you lazy before the third year of high school? If you had shown your talent earlier, you might have been able to directly establish your foundation and get directly admitted to the Four Great Daoist Academy before the final exams.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai quite embarrassed. Obviously, she believed the words boasted by those media outlets and thought that Chen Mobai was simply unwilling to make progress before high school, rather than already trying his hardest and only managing mediocre results.


    ¡°Since you know that I have the Qualification of Deification, do you still have the confidence to keep up with me?¡±


    ¡°I will do my best to keep up with you.¡± Yan Bingxuan answered seriously.


    As the two of them chatted, the sky was almost bright without them realizing it.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you take me around your school?¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to return to the Crimson City right after delivering the items, but he thought of Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s invitation and figured it would be better to visit Nature Studies Academy, just to see the traces left by Purple Lightning Qingshuang¡¯s previous master.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the teacher has been waiting for you to come over.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan, with Chen Mobai, boarded a bus, and the terminal was Nature Studies Academy.


    It¡¯s a wetland lake between nine peaks. The Academy is located on the edge of the lake at the foot of the mountain. It has a beautiful view and all kinds of vegetation, fresh flowers, mudflats, insects, birds, and planktons, etc.


    Compared with the Ten Thousand Waters of Jumang Daoist Academy, it¡¯s like a little copy of the whole natural world, almost all of the surface features on Earth Star can be found here. Although not majestic, it¡¯s very beautiful.


    This is ¡°nature¡±.


    Upon coming here, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but have this word emerge in his mind.


    Indeed, it¡¯s better to see for oneself than to hear from others. Even though he had seen the promotional videos and photos of Nature Studies Academy online multiple times, he was still very shocked when he came in person. He had a sense of satisfaction that made the trip worthwhile.


    The entrance to Nature Studies Academy is a big wooden archway with two smaller archways lined up on the side. A beautiful woman was already waiting there.


    ¡°Greetings to Yan the Daoist. Don¡¯t bother yourself. Bingxuan can accompany me.¡±


    Chen Mobai had not been filled with arrogance by the propaganda of the media from various celestial sects; he had a clear understanding of himself and had utmost respect for Gold Core cultivators. Seeing Yan Qiongzhi waiting for him, he quickly approached and exchanged greetings politely.


    ¡°To enter the Mirror House, you need a Gold Core cultivator from our Academy. Since you¡¯ve come here as the master of the Purple Electric Sword, I should certainly take you there.¡±


    The Mirror House is where Qing Shi Upper and Qin Jing Upper lived and meditated. In fact, it was not originally part of Nature Studies Academy, but after these two Overseers ascended, it was included.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nature Studies Academy is surrounded by nine graceful Spirit Mountains, among which one is called Huagai Mountain. From the archway, it is named for the cap-like appearance of the mountaintop.


    But the mountain is not high, it¡¯s even less than hundred meters. The Mirror House is located on the mountainside, a simple house built with stones and wood.


    This is also considered as a historical site visit. Chen Mobai followed Yan Qiongzhi very carefully, cautiously stepping onto the stone path and entering the courtyard.


    ¡°That rock groove was made when the Qing Jing elder dropped the Qing Shuang Sword and split it.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi pointed to a stone groove in front of the courtyard that resembled an inkstone, very simple and square, introducing Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 724 - Chapter 724: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_4

    Chapter 724: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_4


    Chen Mobai approached and before he even got close, he felt a chilling sword intent that made his hairs stand on end.


    At the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a spring. Tiny streams fell from above, one by one, into this stone gap. No matter how much water poured in, the stone gap was only seven-tenths full. The rest turned into cool mist that dispersed into the air.


    ¡°This is one of the sword intents left by Master Qing Jing. There are two more on her farmland and one on her clothesline. The remaining nine are inside the Mirror House.¡±


    ¡°Is there none from Master Qing Shi?¡± Chen Mobai asked curiously after Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s introduction.


    ¡°There is, but only one, on the door of the wooden house.¡±


    As Yan Qiongzhi spoke, she led Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan towards the Mirror House. She pulled out a key in the shape of a small sword. As the wooden door opened, a stern sword intent as majestic as a mountain range and as vast as the stars slowly dissipated.


    Chen Mobai stood at the door, staring blankly at the wooden door for a long time.


    Yan Bingxuan looked puzzled and was about to speak when Yan Qiongzhi stopped her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb him. With his unparalleled talent, he might make some realizations.¡±


    But in reality, the Purple Electric Sword in his storage bag was sensing its old master¡¯s presence and was sending a ripple of restlessness to Chen Mobai, wanting to come out and take a look.


    However, in order not to expose his storage bag, Chen Mobai could only reassure it, saying that it would have to wait a while.


    Fortunately, the Purple Electric Sword, which was usually steeped sufficiently in Spirit Stones, was very obedient and stopped at the sound of his words.


    ¡°Sorry, I just had a minor revelation and lost track of time.¡±


    Regaining his consciousness, Chen Mobai had to use this as an excuse. With a modest expression, he addressed Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan, who were waiting for him. Their faces displayed an understanding look.


    ¡°This place mainly has more sword marks and sword intents left by Master Qing Jing and only one from Master Qing Shi on the door.¡±


    Upon entering the Mirror House, Chen Mobai saw extremely modern furnishings, all kinds of home appliances and furniture, and even a spacious Cultivation Room with two floor cushions. Just in this place, Master Qing Jing had left four sword intents.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude was average. Although he could sense the chilling and profound sword intent, he couldn¡¯t comprehend it on a deeper level.


    ¡°May I stay here for a day?¡±


    However, he still had to keep up appearances, especially to maintain his reputation as a peerless Sword Cultivation genius.


    ¡°Yes, you can stay as long as you wish. I will apply for the handwritten copy of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the library and have Bingxuan deliver it to you later.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless. Unknowingly, he had gained a small amount of fame within the Immortal Sect, to the extent that he could receive such treatment in Nature Studies Academy.


    After thanking her, Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan left so as not to disturb his contemplation of sword marks and intents. They left Huagai Mountain.


    After watching the too ladies leave, Chen Mobai took the Purple Electric Sword out of his storage bag.


    [I didn¡¯t expect to be able to return here.]


    The Purple Electric Sword was obviously familiar with this place. It turned into a purple glow and circled the Mirror House once before landing in front of the wooden house door. It trembled slightly as it faced the sword mark left by Master Qing Shi¨Cjust like it was weeping.


    ¡°Is this the place where the two masters cultivated?¡±


    [It can be counted as such, but they were here mostly to enjoy the pastoral life of rising with the sun and retiring with sunset. Initially, I was hung on this door, and Little Qing was placed in that stone gap. They might not even wield us once in a year. That kind of lazy and monotonous life felt boring at first, but now it seems to be the start of mine and Little Qing¡¯s spiritual awakening.]


    After listening to the description from the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    The rise of Purple Lightning Qing Shuang from an ordinary magic artifact to a Rank-4 superior grade, and achieving spirit consciousness was due to a series of fortunate coincidences.


    The trigger was this Mirror House.


    He didn¡¯t expect the two famously superb Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Sect to lay down their swords in their later years and achieved spiritual growth without their swords.


    ¡°Is this Sword Intent helpful to my cultivation?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the Sword Intent lines inside and outside the Mirror House and asked the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°For cultivators who cultivate the Qingxiao Sword Canon and the Zi Hua Sword Manual, these are the pinnacle of Dao. For you, they¡¯re slightly useful, because the Sword Dao Realm is universal.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword spoke earnestly, Chen Mobai slightly nodded, not overthinking it.


    He was just faking being a Sword Cultivation Genius, so he didn¡¯t have high hopes for the Mirror House. He would just stay here for a day and pretend to be serious.


    Not even a moment¡¯s taking, Yan Bingxuan went up the mountain, handed him an old book, the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and then talked with her for a while, but Yan Bingxuan, not wanting to distract him from comprehending Sword Intent, quickly excused herself and left the mountain.


    In the long night, Chen Mobai had nothing to do but read the book.


    With his current comprehension, he could basically understand the decoded Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the two masters, but after trying to cultivate it, he found that there was no reaction, feeling a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Do you remember anything about this Heavenly Book?¡±


    After several attempts, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°The two masters used me and Little Qing to practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book top spell, drawing the Two-yi Qi from the Ninth Heaven.¡±


    Hearing Purple Electric Sword¡¯s response, Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up with joy. It turns out he needs both the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang swords at hand to cultivate, it was not because of his poor qualifications.


    ¡°So, if I join hands with Pei Qingshuang, can we cultivate it?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s uncertain. I talked with Little Qing before, it doesn¡¯t think highly of its current master. If Little Qing doesn¡¯t actively cooperate with her, just you and I combined might lead to deviation.¡±


    Upon hearing this exclusive news revealed by the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    No wonder Pei Qingshuang doesn¡¯t know the real method to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, it¡¯s because the Qing Shuang Sword didn¡¯t tell her.


    He had assumed that with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s status and talents, she must be approved by the Qing Shuang Sword, but reality proved otherwise.


    Did Qing Shuang Sword pretend to comply?


    Or was it forced to comply with Tao Hua Upper Person¡¯s authority?


    Or was it because the Spirit Stones Pei Qingshuang gave were not enough?


    However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai could only pretend not to know. He considered himself friends with Pei Qingshuang and didn¡¯t want her face to be lost.


    ¡°When I really want to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, could you please find a way to convince Qing Shuang Sword? It can name its price in Spirit Stones. As you know, I¡¯m very generous.¡±


    ¡°No problem, leave it to me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Purple Electric Sword immediately let out a clear chirp, brimming with confidence.


    ¡°However, there¡¯s something I want to tell you in advance. The original two masters only managed to drive me and Little Qing with ease to absorb the Purple Splendor Qi from the Nine Heavens after they reached Perfect Core Formation. If you don¡¯t cultivate both of the two Sword Manuals, even if you can drive both me and Little Qing wholeheartedly, it might not be successful.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He would definitely not give up the Pure Yang Scroll that he had already invested so much in, but the Nine Heavens Purple Splendor Qi could make both masters form a nascent soul, so it was obviously extremely useful, and he wanted some too.


    Besides, most importantly, he had found out the correct way to cultivate.


    If he gave up just like that, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste?


    But there¡¯s no hurry about this matter. He could figure it out after core formation.


    The rest of the night was spent chit-chatting between Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword. As a reward for the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s enlightenment, he gave it an intermediate grade Spirit Stone. This Rank-4 Magic Artifact was so happy that it spun around twice.

 Chapter 725 - Chapter 725: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_1

    Chapter 725: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_1


    After staying in the Mirror House for a day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you stay for a few more days? The Snow Spirit Water will be delivered the day after tomorrow, you can wait until Bingxuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment is successful before you leave.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi was a little surprised and tried to persuade him to stay.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that for the Ice Spirit Root to establish its foundation, the higher probability lies in a purely ice-like environment, so I shouldn¡¯t disturb Bingxuan by staying here.¡±


    As Chen Mobai shook his head, he returned the hand-copied version of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book to Yan Qiongzhi. After hearing this, she could only agree with a nod.


    ¡°Bingxuan, why don¡¯t you see him off?¡±


    On the side, Yan Bingxuan nodded slightly. After bidding farewell, they left the Nature Studies Academy side by side.


    They stopped talking on the way, probably because they had discussed everything while staying late that night. They silently arrived at the airport.


    ¡°The next time I receive a call from you, I hope it¡¯s to tell me you¡¯ve successfully established your foundation¡±


    Before they parted, Chen Mobai spoke to Yan Bingxuan, who lifted her head. On her normally cool face was a firm expression.


    ¡°Hmm, I will.¡±


    When that was said, the two waved goodbye.


    When Chen Mobai reached the end of the walkway, he suddenly looked back. Yan Bingxuan was still standing where he had left her.


    They locked eyes, both their expressions reflected a reluctance to part, but they both held back, merely offering each other a smile.


    The reason for his departure was that Chen Mobai had a lot to do before the new year.


    First, Meng Huang was about to graduate from the Daoist Academy. He was not sure when they would meet next, so he wanted to bid her farewell.


    Then there was evaluating the Device Nurturing Spheres for the students at the academy. Academic credits were valuable and could be exchanged for many things he wanted.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian and Purple Palace had already reached the state of Perfection in foundation establishment, so he no longer needed valuable Barrier Breaking Elixirs. Therefore, he was thinking about getting another Device Piece, or saving up to exchange them for a Gold Core of the Five Elements in the future.


    As he had ceded the position of the student council president to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai had a relaxing year.


    He did not disturb the other members of the student council. He set up a table and chairs at the square, and soon enough, people sought him out.


    With ample time this year, Chen Mobai spent a good few days at the student council square, evaluating far more than in the previous three years. He managed to earn a total of 127 credits, and together with credits saved from last year and credits gained from examinations, his student card account reached a whopping 180 credits.


    As was customary, Chen Mobai went to find Professor Luo to exchange for a year¡¯s supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Vermillion Fruits.


    ¡°Bro, where are you?¡±


    After preparing the primary and auxiliary medicines for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu, intending to get his good friend to help with the alchemy.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my honeymoon, already left in advance¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai did not have the heart to ask for a favour and just wished him well.


    With his good friend not in the Daoist Academy, should he seek out Qing Nu?


    Chen Mobai had all the necessary items ready and did not wish to waste them. However, since Kong Feichen left the immortal gate with Yang Jing, Danxia City had become a place of heartbreak for Qing Nu. To avoid dredging up memories, she had rarely returned to her hometown.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t just run to Jumang Daoist Academy just for this matter.


    Fortunately, as the top student in the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai had a wide network and soon thought of someone else he knew.


    Ying Sizhen, one of the vice presidents of the student council, was someone he promoted during his term. She was also graduating this year and had resigned from her position a few days ago but was still in the Daoist Academy.


    Chen Mobai gave her a call, and Ying Sizhen agreed without any hesitation.


    She was a Rank-2 Alchemist and although this was her first time crafting Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, with the help of Spiritual Extract and Chen Mobai¡¯s indifference toward a small amount of elixir poison, she managed to finish the task smoothly.


    Out of gratitude, Chen Mobai gave her two pieces of Spiritual Extract, but she only accepted one.


    A person worth befriending indeed.


    After receiving the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew from Ying Sizhen, Chen Mobai thought to himself.


    At night, at Meng Huang¡¯s villa on top of the hill.


    ¡°We¡¯re parting now, not knowing when we¡¯ll meet again¡±


    Chen Mobai leaned on the balcony, speaking to Meng Huang, who was lazily lying on the couch, her face flushed from drinking wine.


    ¡°If you wish to see me, I can come to you anytime. After all, there¡¯s not much to do at the Art Department on a regular basis. Only during festivals do I need to perform on stage.¡±


    Meng Huang held her wine glass and spoke. As Chen Mobai would return to Danxia city tomorrow, they were saying their parting goodbyes that night. She proposed drinking some wine as a farewell.


    The wine was naturally brought by Chen Mobai. It was made from Green Jade Spirit Rice and was quite strong.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After a couple of drinks, Meng Huang¡¯s cheeks turned rosy, enhancing her lovely appearance.


    Before Chen Mobai, she didn¡¯t need to maintain the restraint of a superstar. Her white fingers clasping the transparent wine glass glowed under the warm yellow light of the room. After each sentence, she took a sip. Her already red cheeks became more charming, her eyes flirtatious.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I last heard you sing. As we part, sing a song for me.¡±


    Looking at the blushing beauty in front of him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but remember their first meeting, and couldn¡¯t resist asking for a song.

 Chapter 726 - Chapter 726: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_2

    Chapter 726: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_2


    ¡°Alright, what do you want to listen to?¡±


    Meng Huang put down her wine glass, stood up from the lounge chair on the balcony, her slightly drunk eyes warm and seductive, shy and smiling. Amidst her tall and elegant figure glowed an illuminating beauty.


    ¡°¡®Stepping Moon Tune¡¯, please.¡±


    The scene reminded Chen Mobai of their first encounter nearly ten years ago. Apart from her character becoming more mature, Meng Huang¡¯s figure and beauty didn¡¯t seem to have changed at all. She was like a celestial being with fresh flowers in full bloom, stunningly beautiful.


    ¡°Alright, but it¡¯s a duet, do you want to sing along with me?¡±


    Meng Huang came over to him, winked playfully and asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you, as backup vocal.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level, he wouldn¡¯t forget a song after hearing it once. Even though he never practiced the Mystic Sound Method and couldn¡¯t imitate the effect Meng Huang had with Jiang Yuyuan, he could still perform correctly with her.


    ¡°Bright moon, bright moon, a cry of sorrow¡­¡±


    The incredibly melodious voice that Chen Mobai would never forget after hearing it once echoed into his ears again. Although, nine years ago, he was gazing at her holy posture on the stage. A girl clothed in gorgeous costumes, appearing like a fairy under the moonlight.


    Now, she was murmuring into his ear.


    Her ethereal and fresh voice seemed to be a gift from heaven. It was like a light breeze in the mountains, gentle and bright, and like tinkling gemstones falling down, ringing out the most heartfelt version of ¡®Stepping Moon Tune¡¯ that Chen Mobai had ever heard in his life.


    His only regret was his average backing singing: devoid of any technique, but full of emotion.


    Subconsciously, they both had become slightly drunk.


    Chen Mobai felt like he was back in Red Sandstone City nine years ago, and Meng Huang seemed to have worn her gauzy white dress again. Her face flushed from alcohol had turned into her exquisite performance makeup¡­


    The woman was as delicate as jade, her nimbleness as fine as the wispy clouds.


    On the next day, while returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about the beautiful dreams he had last night after getting drunk.


    The clear and ethereal voice coupled with her gentle and water-like beautiful eyes, indeed, could make one sink into a romantic reverie.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai was steadfast in his principles and resolutely got up in the morning and caught the flight home.


    This year¡¯s Red Sandstone City felt more lonely to Chen Mobai.


    Even his younger sister Wang Xinying didn¡¯t come back; she stayed at the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    The rest of his old classmates who had failed in their foundation establishment fell into acute depression, while those of weaker minds gave up on themselves and began to enjoy the last year before graduation.


    On the contrary, people like Lu Hongsheng, who was still stuck on the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, had accepted their fate early on and had started enjoying themselves several years ago.


    But, Chen Mobai felt that Lu Hongsheng was rather fortunate after having a meal with him.


    Lu Hongsheng¡¯s high school desk-mate, the beautiful Yu Shu, had started dating him. Now, they planned to get their marriage certificate before graduation and then have a child.


    When Lu Hongsheng serves his military service, Yu Shu will stay in Red Sandstone City because she will be the sole caretaker of the child.


    ¡°If I had known I could marry Yu Shu, I would have started working hard in high school¡­¡±


    Lu Hongsheng used to be carefree; even if he served in the military, he planned to coast by for ten years. But now, he became more mature after getting a girlfriend and discussing marriage and having children with her.


    He regretted not working hard in his younger years. Even if he was not as impressive as Chen Mobai, if he had sensed his divine gift, at least learning the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal would be more comfortable, and even if he served in the military, he could be a technical soldier.


    As it stands, even if he wants to study and make progress, he can¡¯t compare to his peers who have developed their Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    ¡°The army is a big melting pot, and also another school. Although you have failed in pursuing cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation School, if you work hard there, you may catch the opportunity of Foundation Establishment. Try your best ¨C I hope to have you as a friend by my side a hundred years later.¡±


    Chen Mobai cared for his desk mate Lu Hongsheng, but progress in the cultivation process relies on self-awareness; urging does not work.


    However, it¡¯s not too late to wake up now.


    After all, their graduating class is only 28 years old on average; there are still thirty years left to achieve Foundation Establishment.


    The ten-year training in the army is designed to detect gems that were not selected in the Immortal Cultivation School, though this screening method is rigorous.


    And when the Little Red Sky opens, the Immortal Sect will announce that there will be a war of territory within a hundred years. The first ones to be conscripted will be the cultivators with military service experience.


    If one cannot stand out in the first thirty years of life, then they must strive to achieve Foundation Establishment in the next thirty years.


    And Lu Hongsheng was now ready for this.


    However, Chen Mobai did not know how long his enthusiasm would last. He only hoped that having a family could truly change his lazy and careless nature.

    After visiting Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai also went to see his other classmates.


    Surprisingly, Shi Jingjing, who had always been regarded as lax and lazy in his eyes, had decided to serve in the military.


    ¡°I had no choice. There are no men around that I am interested in. Those I am interested in, like you, are excellent. Even if I want to have a child for you, you certainly wouldn¡¯t agree.¡±


    Shi Jingjing was as straightforward as always. On hearing this, Chen Mobai could only give an awkward smile, but he didn¡¯t respond.

    Chapter 727: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_3


    ¡°Don¡¯t lose heart, you still have a final year; you might even succeed.¡±


    On one side, Cao Yaling comforted her best friend, even after her Foundation Establishment, their relationship remained very good, just like Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing.


    Chen Mobai initially thought Xu Yuan and Shi Jingjing to be a good match, but both seemed to have expectations for their Foundation Establishment, neither planned to give up just yet, wanting to train in the military for another ten years.


    As graduation approached, everyone needed to make a decision about their future life.


    Getting married and having children, was a peaceful and stable future given by the Immortal Door to everyone.


    The military department, on the other hand, offered a lifeline to those cultivators who were not satisfied.


    There was another pair that Chen Mobai never saw coming.


    Song Zheng and Mo Simin started dating, this was told to him by Yan Bingxuan. She had already obtained the Snow Spirit Water and was ready to establish her foundation. She made a special call to Chen Mobai before her retreat.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This is surprising, how did their personalities hit it off?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°Min¡¯er pursued him. She doesn¡¯t want to go to the military department. She¡¯s been with Song Zheng at the Heavenly Book Academy for so many years and feels he is a decent person, so she took the initiative on the matter.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s like saying ¡®chasing a man with a partition paper between¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°After Song Zheng failed to establish his foundation, his demeanor has changed. He wanted to change himself, so he started dating Min¡¯er. Whether they can make it or not depends on whether they can get their licenses before graduation next year.¡±


    Back in high school, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan competed for the first place in the class for a while.


    But now, they have both grown up and find their immature behaviors back then laughable.


    After dawn, Chen Mobai finally hung up the phone with Yan Bingxuan.


    In the end, he didn¡¯t forget to wish her successful Foundation Establishment.


    After chatting with all his classmates and friends in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai realized that under the tremendous pressure of the last year of graduation, it seemed that everyone matured abruptly.


    For the first time, Chen Mobai admired the person who implemented this system in Immortal Door.


    The way to govern a country, is the foundation of stability.


    But for him, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he already stepped out and can make determinations on his own.


    At the end of the year, he applied for a discount sale permit from the relevant departments in Red Sandstone City. Thanks to last year¡¯s experience, he began advertising half a month earlier, so he sold more than last year.


    A total sales of three hundred thousand talisman papers brought Chen Mobai an income of 21 million Good Deed Points.


    After paying off the mortgage loan on the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, he finally felt the relief of being debt-free.


    What made him happier, was the stable quality of the jade talisman paper produced by Flying Sky Talisman Factory this year, which could ensure all produced was Rank-2 Talisman of lower-grade.


    Although it was barely qualified compared to other talisman factories, it was happy news for the nascent Flying Sky Talisman Factory.


    Although there was still no profit this year, Chen Mobai still issued the usual bonus, which would enable factory director Pan Kaiqiang to continue leading the workers to produce Rank-2 talisman paper and ink next year in hopes of nurturing a group of skilled workers to prepare for the Rank-3 talisman paper and ink of the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman in the future.


    Pan Kaiqiang knew Flying Sky Talisman Factory had been losing money for two consecutive years, but when he received the bonus, he secretly vowed to produce better products for the company in the future.


    After sorting out the business in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai moved the million sheets of talisman paper produced by the puppet factory this year to Xiao Nanshan.


    Two days later, the three disciples who had dealt with the Fire Spirit Rice returned.


    Liu Wenbo even brought along Lan Lingping¡¯s disciple, Xue Ting.


    Chen Mobai met her and summoned Zhuo Ming to guide her in farming, her learning would depend on whether she was diligent enough.


    Zhuo Ming naturally had no doubts about the arrangement of her master.


    She took Xue Ting to her Court mountain, she asked her to recognize the Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens from the terraced fields first, and then gradually led her to plant the Fire Spirit Rice.


    At the end of the year, the mentor and disciples of Xiao Nanshan always get together.


    ¡°You¡¯ve all worked hard.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded to his three disciples, then asked if they had any doubts or questions in their cultivation this year.


    As the eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo spoke first. He suffered some Elemental Energy loss due to the Bead that Breaks Meridians during his time on the Thunder Nation Battlefield. He had just recovered this year, but his renewed training gave him a different understanding and he didn¡¯t know why, so he asked Chen Mobai for guidance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s simple, your previous understanding of the cultivation technique was not quite correct ¡­ not to say wrong, it should be said that it¡¯s not entirely right, it was one-sided. As your experience and cultivation level grow, you will gradually comprehend the full picture of the cultivation technique. But to distinguish the correctness of the cognition, you need guidance from someone of a higher realm,¡±


    As their master, Chen Mobai was this high-level person, his guidance allowed Liu Wenbo to understand the Biphasic Cultivation, Azure Water Cultivation, and Longevity Scripture more deeply.


    Next was Zhuo Ming, she was a little embarrassed because she had the most problems.


    After all, among the Xiao Nanshan group, her cultivation level was the lowest, just Qi Cultivation Rank 8.

    Chapter 728: Chapter 432: Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment (8k)_4


    Moreover, she also practiced the Nine Reaches Law Body, but she herself knew nothing about body forging.


    So throughout this year, she accumulated a booklet full of questions.


    Chen Mobai took it and looked at it, nodding in approval, these questions reflected Zhuo Ming¡¯s diligence and dedication.


    He began to explain them one by one. Although he had never cultivated the Nine Reaches Law Body before, with the Non-Phase Puppet, deducing the content of the Qi Cultivation was easy.


    ¡°Master, I feel that my Qi Cultivation Realm is about to break through this year. Isn¡¯t it a bit too fast?¡±


    In the end, Zhuo Ming asked another question, somewhat unsure of herself.


    Improving one level in a year is considered genius in the Eastern Wilderness. Even some true inheritors of the Divine Wood Sect don¡¯t progress at this speed.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that this was Zhuo Ming¡¯s normal speed.


    After all, her Earth Spirit Root was outstanding, and over the past two years, she had personally developed a thousand acres of Spirit Fields and comprehended the essence of the Mother Earth Cultivation. In addition, she was well supplied with Spirit Stone and Spirit Rice. If she didn¡¯t make progress, now that would be strange.


    However, he was well aware of Zhuo Ming¡¯s mentality. She was of normal talent and in order to reassure her, he took her pulse himself, then nonchalantly nodded: ¡°This is normal progress. But to solidify the foundation, you should not attempt to break through now. Wait until Spiritual Power overflows, and then naturally open the Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea. This will be beneficial for your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master. I feel relieved now.¡±


    As expected, after hearing his words, the unease that had been on Zhuo Ming¡¯s face disappeared, replaced by a big smile.


    Chen Mobai had high expectations for his second disciple, whom he saw as his future successor. As long as she cultivated step by step, Foundation Establishment would undoubtedly be achieved, so his guidance to her was the most meticulous.


    When it was Luo Yixuan¡¯s turn, she also had a heap of questions, but Chen Mobai, after a glance, knew they were contrived, and he flicked her smooth forehead, making her burst into tears and kneel on the grass, admitting her mistakes.


    ¡°What did you do wrong?¡±


    ¡°Master, everything is my fault.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re too clever for your own good.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw tears sparkling in the corners of Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes as if she was truly frightened. He laughed and signaled her to stand up.


    But Luo Yixuan dared not stand up, she continued kneeling, recounting in detail how she used her master¡¯s name to show off and have her way in the Luo family.


    ¡°That is indeed a bit wrong.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect Luo Yixuan to do such a thing. He murmured to himself after hearing about it.


    ¡°Master, I am partly to blame for this. I didn¡¯t manage the transportation of Spirit Rice well. The little junior sister only requisitioned the Spirit Camels of the Luo family to help me complete the task as quickly as possible.¡±


    At this moment, Liu Wenbo also kneeled down and pleaded for Luo Yixuan. Seeing her two fellow disciples kneeling, Zhuo Ming also kneeled down.


    Chen Mobai asked, ¡°Was the Luo family paid for the Spirit Camels with Spirit Stones?¡±


    Liu Wenbo replied honestly, ¡°They were paid, all at market prices. I wanted to pay more, but the Luo family did not dare to accept.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°If they¡¯ve been paid, then it¡¯s fine. But Xuan, you are someone who will establish her Foundation in the future. You still have over two hundred years of lifespan, just vent out the frustration you have suffered in your childhood, and don¡¯t keep it in your heart, lest it become a Heart Demon in the future.¡±


    Hearing the master say this, Luo Yixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped crying.


    ¡°I will follow the master¡¯s instructions.¡±


    With tears in her eyes, she raised her head timidly and saluted Chen Mobai again.


    ¡°Alright, everyone get up. There¡¯s no need for so many formalities in my sect.¡±


    With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, his three disciples were lifted by his Spiritual Power and stood up. Then he handed Luo Yixuan¡¯s booklet back to her: ¡°Don¡¯t waste my time with these filler questions in the future.¡±


    Only then did the three disciples understand why the master had flicked the forehead of the little junior sister. So it was because of this little matter.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s face turned red as if she was mortified, and she bowed her head shyly.


    ¡°Master, this is this year¡¯s income from the South Mountain Shop. Due to the addition of shops in Yun Country and Snow Country, the income has increased slightly, totaling 48,367 lower-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    Seeing that the little junior sister looked as if she was about to find a hole to crawl into, Liu Wenbo immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai. The latter took it pleased to see 480 intermediate grade Spirit Stones, along with some change.


    ¡°Master, we¡¯ve been able to open up a way to the Snow-blowing Palace. Next year, I plan to expand the South Mountain Shop to the Frost Country. Additionally, should you and Uncle Zhou, Uncle Hong He announce something about Rain Country and Lei Nation inside the sect¡¯s territory?¡±


    Liu Wenbo had been managing the shop outside for the past two years. With the massive influx of Spirit Stones passing through his hands, he felt a sense of unprecedented purpose in life. Now, he only wanted to make the South Mountain Shop bigger and stronger, spreading it all over the Eastern Wilderness.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°As for Lei Nation, let¡¯s put it aside for now. War is imminent. If we expand there, we might become ruins. The Frost Country, although it¡¯s part of the Snow-blowing Palace, borders Lei Nation and Rock Country. If the war escalates, it¡¯s also likely to be affected, so we won¡¯t go there now.¡±


    As for the Rain Country, which is garrisoned by Hong He, it happens to be at the southernmost end of the territory of the Divine Wood Sect, adjacent to the Five Elements Sect. It should be fine before the end of the battle with Mountain Shaker Peak.


    It¡¯s a pity that Hong He is a well-behaved man. He won¡¯t come if there is nothing happening in the sect.


    Chen Mobai could only write a letter to Liu Wenbo, letting him take it along with some gifts to visit Hong He after the New Year. With his face value, opening the South Mountain Shop there should not be a big problem.

    Chapter 729: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_5


    ¡°Here, this is your New Year money,¡± He said.


    After everything was explained, Chen Mobai took out three hundred lower-grade spirit stones, giving each disciple one hundred.


    All three disciples happily accepted, as it was equivalent to their annual benefits at the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ming, go open a jar of new spiritual wine, Xuan, go pick some shoots, Wen Bo, catch some rice fish, I will pick up some Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and catch some spirit chicken. Tonight, we will feast together as master and disciples.¡±


    Today was like the New Year in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai felt that it was necessary to cook something delicious for the disciples, so he decided to cook himself.


    ¡°Oh yes, the disciple from Snow-blowing Palace might feel lonely on her own. Let¡¯s invite her over,¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could go down the mountain, he remembered this and told it to Zhuo Ming, who immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°What is this¡­?¡±


    When Xue Ting was brought over by Zhuo Ming, she saw Chen Mobai with a spatula in one hand while pouring oil and cooking with the other hand. She widened her lovely eyes, seemingly unable to believe the scene in front of her.


    ¡°Just find a tree stump and sit down. I¡¯m going to slaughter a chicken.¡±


    Liu Wen Bo and Luo Yixuan are both from wealthy families. They can cook rice, but they cannot slaughter chickens.


    However, Liu Wenbo, due to his family background, was adept at killing fish.


    Then, in front of Xue Ting¡¯s disbelieving face, Zhuo Ming rolled up her sleeves and neatly slaughtered a chicken.


    ¡°Today, I will make a dish of spicy diced chicken for you. I saw these wild peppers when I was catching the spirit chicken, so I guarantee you will love it,¡±


    Chen Mobai took out various seasonings from his storage bag. After stir-frying a bowl of bamboo shoots, he began to cook the chicken that Zhuo Ming had prepared, and the fish that Wen Bo had killed.


    Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan had already skillfully skewered chicken wings and legs on wooden sticks and was grilling them over the campfire.


    ¡°Xue Ting, don¡¯t mind the simplicity of the meal,¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished cooking, he put down the cookware and brought two large plates of food over. Soon, Liu Wenbo and the others brought over the cooked Spirit Rice, warmed spiritual wine, and roasted chicken legs and chicken wings.


    ¡°Greetings to Uncle Chen, Brother Liu, Sister Zhuo, Sister Luo,¡±


    Xue Ting is not much of a talker and only knows how to greet them most simply.


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, signalling that it was time to eat. Luo Yixuan immediately poured him a cup of spiritual wine and placed the best-roasted chicken wings and chicken legs she cooked in front of him.


    ¡°You have a special physique, so I have specifically cooked a pot of Fire Spirit Rice. Eaten together with this rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, it should be beneficial for your vitality,¡±


    Liu Wenbo cracked open a tube of Jade Bamboo and mixed its Spirit Rice with a bowl of Fire Spirit Rice, then passed it to Xue Ting.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Liu,¡±


    Xue Ting never thought that she would receive such treatment at Xiao Nanshan. From watching this previously unseen pupil-teacher relationship, she felt a significant impact deep within her heart.


    She hesitantly looked at the bowl of Spirit Rice, which appeared like red and white jade, placed before her before finally deciding to remove her veil.


    As expected, she evoked an etheric, heavenly beauty, crystal clear as a Narcissus.


    The master and three disciples were all taken aback by her immortal-like beauty but only saw it as something to be admired.


    ¡°Xue Ting, you are truly beautiful,¡±


    Luo Yixuan politely complimented.


    ¡°You¡¯re flattering me, Sister Luo. You¡¯re the one with celestial charm and beauty. I am nowhere close to you,¡±


    After Chen Mobai had a glimpse of Xue Ting¡¯s true features, he lost interest. Then he called over his first disciple and began to drink.


    However, among all the inhabitants of Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming had the best alcohol tolerance.


    ¡°Would you like to have a drink? This, too, is a speciality of Xiao Nanshan. It has unique benefits for people with cold constitutions,¡±


    Over here, Luo Yixuan was looking after the newly arrived Xue Ting. After Xue Ting had a few small bites of the Spirit Rice, she indeed felt her vitality becoming warmer and more invigorating. Hearing this, she became interested and took a small sip.


    As soon as she took a sip, her originally white face immediately turned a little rosy. Her previously cold temperament dispersed, her eyes sparkled, and she became enchantingly teasing.


    Unfortunately, only Luo Yixuan on her side could see this gorgeous face that couldn¡¯t handle the alcohol. The three disciples from the other side were already slightly drunk and were drowned in their drinks.


    The next morning, Zhuo Ming took Xue Ting back to her court mountain, while Luo Yixuan stayed behind to clean up the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Liu Wenbo was sprawled out on the grass, sound asleep.


    Chen Mobai did not bother him; instead, he signalled Luo Yixuan to go back. Then, he went back to his wooden hut and took out an intermediate-grade spirit stone. After he sobered up, he began Cultivating a Pure Yang Body as his means of countering the hangover.


    A new year calls for diligent hard work.


    After the Eastern Wilderness finished celebrating the New Year, it was time for Red Sandstone City to celebrate. However, without the cheerful noise from his younger sister, Wang Xinying, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.


    After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Even though he was seated in his wooden house and had nothing to look forward to, he found himself incessantly looking towards the top of the mountain.


    Meng Huang had already purchased the villa on top of the mountain long before graduation, giving a copy of the key to Chen Mobai.


    However, without the beloved person waiting there, Chen Mobai was not used to it. Initially, he felt rather empty inside.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As such, he devoted his attention entirely to his work. As he was busy preparing for the assembly of the Formless Puppet, he suddenly received a call from Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°I have successfully established my foundation!¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard these words, a feeling of heartfelt joy welled up inside him.


    Next, an unusual feeling of anticipation followed promptly.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 730 - Chapter 730: Chapter 433 Saint (8k)_1

    Chapter 730: Chapter 433 ¡®Saint¡¯ (8k)_1


    To be honest, Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t expect Yan Bingxuan could establish her foundation in one go.


    After all, even he had to do it twice.


    But upon further thought, Yan Bingxuan was originally a prodigy, during her nine years in the university she was just like him, working day and night to improve and refine her spiritual root. Add in the assistance of the three foundation-building treasures, Snow Spirit Water, and Water Mist Ice Crystal, it was no less effective than a Foundation Building Pill.


    If we also take into account the foundational knowledge from the Immortal sect, like the spiritual power vortex that he taught, it is conceivable that Yan Bingxuan could establish her foundation in one go.


    It¡¯s just like Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun and the rest from the Divine Wood Sect.


    They all successfully established their foundations with a single Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Congratulations, if you¡¯ve established your foundation, I can rest at ease.¡±


    After hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s good news, Chen Mobai responded heartily.


    At least now, on the road to eternal life, he has one more companion who can accompany him for two hundred years.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°You¡¯re the first person I called, I¡¯m still in the Cultivation Room.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°It¡¯s an honor. What are your plans for the future? Exam for public service, postgraduate studies, or continue studying in Nature Studies Academy?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°I probably won¡¯t be taking the public service exam. The Xuan Bing Jue that I¡¯m cultivating only requires a water elemental Gold Core. Originally, I planned to stay in the Nature Studies Academy like my teacher after establishing the foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of Yan Qiongzhi, who indeed succeeded in Core Formation simply by relying on a water elemental Gold Core and the Rank-4 Water Pulse Spirit Qi of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Having learned her true teachings, Yan Bingxuan could also hope to reach Core Formation if she follows her teacher¡¯s footsteps.


    ¡°When your Foundation Establishment is complete, you can apply for the opening of a Gold Core domain. If you mastered Yan True Man¡¯s Freezing Technique and follow her successful experience, perhaps you too can be successful.¡±


    Chen Mobai reiterates this matter; it was his last concern before Core Formation.


    ¡°Ok, I will try my best to open a Gold Core domain with you.¡±


    In Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, it¡¯s already a given that Chen Mobai will succeed. After all, he has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, there¡¯s no reason why he can¡¯t succeed.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed.


    That¡¯s the downside of being too well-known. If he didn¡¯t accomplish something that is very difficult for others, it would lead to a lot of doubt.


    However, Chen Mobai was very open-minded, he didn¡¯t care about this false reputation, and had prepared himself for the possibility of failing to open a Gold Core domain.


    There¡¯s nothing more practical than the realm of cultivation.


    Even if he fails to open it after the perfection of Foundation Establishment, he will have another chance after Core Formation. As long as he does not fail then, it¡¯s all good.


    [I shouldn¡¯t fail, right?]


    Chen Mobai thought to himself, then he chatted with Yan Bingxuan briefly. Suddenly, they fell into silence, out of topics.


    ¡°Do you have any plans to take postgraduate exams or stay in the Daoist Academy after you graduate?¡±


    In the end, it was Yan Bingxuan who asked.


    Chen Mobai thought about it for a bit. He didn¡¯t plan on taking the public service exam because he was afraid that Turtle Treasure might be exposed in the Celestial Sect. While staying in the Daoist Academy was a good way to obtain a Five Elements Gold Core, Chen Mobai wanted to focus on the Tianhe Realm after graduation, as its resources were far more abundant than the Celestial Sect.


    Furthermore, with his current status in the Divine Wood Sect, obtaining a Gold Core spiritual objects wouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet. I¡¯ll see when I graduate next year.¡±


    At last, Chen Mobai could only give a noncommittal response.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°If you stay in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, I can pursue further studies here. If you¡¯re advancing at another Daoist Academy, I can go with you.¡±


    Students among the four Daoist Academies can further their studies in one of the other three academies through postgraduate exams after graduation, if they feel their knowledge is still insufficient.


    Even if Chen Mobai is a bit slow on the uptake, he understood the implications in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words.


    To be honest, if things remained as they are in his life, he would love to spend the rest of his life with her. After all, Yan Bingxuan was his girl-next-door crush from his youth.


    Just like Lu Hongsheng and Yu Shu, if Chen Mobai knew during high school that he could accompany Yan Bingxuan hand in hand, he would certainly think his life was perfect without any regrets.


    But the present Chen Mobai has embarked on a different path of destiny.


    With the help of Turtle Treasure to travel between the two realms, he could possibly reach higher realms. Beyond Core Formation, Chen Mobai even dared to aspire to Nascent Soul Formation.


    That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t want to decide who would accompany him for an entire lifetime that early.


    When Chen Mobai was very young, his grandparents passed away one after another. Although he was still young, he felt the pain of losing a loved one and even fell seriously ill.


    A Daoist couple are life-long companions, like family for an entire lifetime, it¡¯s where most cultivators place their emotional attachments.

    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to see, hundreds of years later, his Daoist companion age and turn into bones in her grave with his own eyes.


    Therefore, even though his anticipation was satisfied, after some thought, he decided not to make promises lightly.


    ¡°You put it this way, then I have to think it through even more seriously.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai replied to Yan Bingxuan with a smile. After hearing his response, she gently hummed her acknowledgment, and then they hung up the phone after a long silence.

 Chapter 731 - Chapter 731: Chapter 433 Saint (8k)_2

    Chapter 731: Chapter 433 ¡®Saint¡¯ (8k)_2


    After Yan Bingxuan established his foundation, Chen Mobai had no other concerns in the immortal sect.


    He began to devote himself fully to the creation of the Formless Puppets.


    At the beginning of the school year, Chai Lun came over with various tools.


    They then went together to the Heavenly Tool Factory. Zhou Tiangong arranged a small workshop for them, similar to the place where Chen Mobai and Chai Lun had made the illusion puppet.


    Chen Mobai began to assemble various parts and guided Chai Lun on some achievable tasks.


    The Formless Puppet was a peak in the fields of machinery, electronics, and bionics in the immortal sect. Chai Lun could understand about a third of it, so Chen Mobai left the simple pre-assembly of machinery to him for final checking.


    The remaining electronics and bionics had to be handled by Chen Mobai himself.


    Luckily, Wenren Xuewei came by shortly after. She was an expert in bionics. Although she did not specialize in Puppet Dao, she could keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thought process.


    Together with Zhou Tiangong, who was proficient in artifact refining, the four of them discussed for a long time. After ensuring that every aspect of the blueprints had been comprehended and no doubts remained, they began their respective tasks in cooperation.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now. In about three months, I¡¯ll bring over all these bionic materials.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled and took the custom blueprint from Chen Mobai. These materials cost about eight million Good Deed Points in the immortal sect market. But because only the Jumang Daoist Academy could cultivate them, they set the price.


    As one of the four signatories of the works, all these expenses were covered by Wenren Xuewei, saving Chen Mobai a great deal.


    The rest of the mechanical and electronic parts were taken care of by Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong. The only thing Chen Mobai had to pay for was the Rank-3 core chip.


    Even so, the price was not cheap, as it cost ten million.


    This was because of Che Yucheng¡¯s favour. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it even if he had the money.


    The core chip of the Formless Puppet was also custom-made and could not be mass-produced.


    For this matter, Chen Mobai specifically made a trip to the West Profound Cave Heaven to sign the core chip order contract and also paid the full amount for the chip.


    As a result, the account of the Flying Talisman Factory was once again emptied of funds. It was even insufficient, and a loan of three million was taken from the Immortal Sect Bank.


    Chen Mobai was used to this. Running a company without debts is not called a company, right?


    After settling the business at the Immortal Sect Bank in Danxia City, Chen Mobai stayed at home for a few days.


    Because it was springtime, it was time for sowing at Xiao Nanshan.


    Every year at this time, if he had the time, he would personally plant two acres of land.


    This time was no exception.


    However, compared to the usual trio of master and disciples, this time there was an additional Xue Ting, a Qi cultivation female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°This Fire Spirit Rice doesn¡¯t require high-quality earth energy, but it cannot encounter cold weather when it¡¯s sprouting, otherwise, the Spirit Rice that grows will be the same as common rice¡­¡±


    ¡°If you really encounter extremely cold weather, then you need to set up a formation early or cover each seedling with a bag¡­¡±


    ¡°Pest diseases are also a major issue. In addition to the protection of the formation, we at Xiao Nanshan also hire mortals to watch over them, ensuring that each person can inspect their Spirit Field every day. If there¡¯s a problem, they¡¯ll contact us directly¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was loosening the soil at this time, saw Zhuo Ming patiently teaching Xue Ting on the Rank-1 Spirit Field not far away, and nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you going to let senior sister keep some secrets?¡±


    At his side, Luo Yixuan, wearing a straw hat, came over and whispered.


    It¡¯s customary in the Eastern Wilderness to keep half of their real skills secret when teaching, even if it¡¯s their own children.


    ¡°The first rule of being under my guidance: Treat people with sincerity, and establish oneself with trust.¡±


    Chen Mobai knocked on his little disciple¡¯s smooth forehead again, admonishing her.


    He was aware of the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, and he had no intention of changing others, but at the very least, he wanted his disciples to understand the meaning of the words ¡°honesty and trustworthiness¡± and uphold them as principles.


    Among them, Zhuo Ming was simple-minded and after several years of education, her actions and mindset had completely aligned with his, so he regarded her as his successor.


    As for Luo Yixuan, she was greatly influenced by her family when she was forming her own viewpoints, and having joined later, there was still some residual poison in her thoughts that hadn¡¯t been purged.


    On the contrary, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, despite being born in a noble family, was perhaps due to his down-to-earth nature, or the decent moral climate of the Liu family, he was also an honest person.


    ¡°Master, are there any other rules? I¡¯ll remember them all at once.¡±


    Luo Yixuan covered her forehead, looking a little aggrieved.


    ¡°Not for now. I¡¯ll tell you when I remember.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Luo Yixuan pout, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything and could only lower her head in acknowledgement.

    ¡°Bring over the seedlings.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai started sowing.


    Today he was sowing the Green Jade Spirit Rice. This new type of Spirit Rice, after several rounds of catalysis, could now basically ensure that all the grains grown would be Rank-2.


    However, he was still a little worried, so he personally came over to complete the first planting of Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    Zhuo Ming had already learned how to do it a long time ago, so she was teaching Xue Ting how to plant Fire Spirit Rice on the side, while Luo Yixuan took this opportunity to help Chen Mobai in place of Zhuo Ming.

 Chapter 732 - Chapter 732: Chapter 433 "Saint" (8k)_3

    Chapter 732: Chapter 433 ¡°Saint¡± (8k)_3


    ¡°Very well, Master.¡±


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s summons, Luo Yixuan immediately picked ten saplings from a heap in the distance, and transported them using a magic technique.


    Although Luo Yixuan¡¯s farming skills were modest compared to Zhuo Ming, she became adept over the years. The master and disciple had an excellent rapport.


    One would hand them over, and the other would plant them. They quickly sowed one-acre of land.


    ¡°Shall I step aside for now?¡±


    Xue Ting, who was standing nearby, knew that Green Jade Spirit Rice was a Rank-2 Spirit Rice. Seeing that Chen Mobai and his disciple began sowing, Xue Ting conscientiously suggested to Zhuo Ming that she should excuse herself.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. My master has said, if possible, in the future, he also intends to spread this Green Jade Spirit Rice throughout the Eastern Wilderness. If you can learn the process too, it would also be considered as a help to my master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming said with a smile, accepting the Fire Spirit Rice seedlings from Xue Ting, and planted them precisely and skillfully.


    Since she needed to demonstrate the process, she manually planted them one by one. She carefully taught Xue Ting each and every step, such as loosening and firming the soil and watering it.


    ¡°I never expected that there are people with such aspirations like Uncle Master Chen in Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Xue Ting didn¡¯t know how to describe Chen Mobai. At least, this is the first time in her life that she has met such a person, devoid of prejudices, and willing to teach an outsider without reservation.


    You must know that before coming here, she had already prepared to face she might be looked down upon and treated with a cold demeanor.


    After all, she is going to learn a cultivation technique of Spirit Plants that others had painstakingly developed and tested. If someone came to Snow-blowing Palace to learn about Crystal spirit rice cultivation, it would already be considered polite of Snow-blowing Palace if they didn¡¯t get angry and kick the person out.


    That¡¯s why, when Lan Lingping chose who would complete this task, her fellow sisters quickly made excuses to avoid it. As she wasn¡¯t good at socializing and was ostracized due to her beauty, she was the one selected.


    Xue Ting couldn¡¯t defy the sect and her master, and on top of that, there was a reward of ten thousand contribution points for completing this task, enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    She does not have too many friends in her sect, and whilst she was close to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, she couldn¡¯t gather enough contributions, and others were unwilling to lend, increasing her worries.


    But hearing that she would get ten thousand contribution points, Xue Ting pushed down the indignation in her heart and undertook the task.


    However, Lan Lingping knew how difficult this task was and ensured her beforehand, that as long as she could bring back the complete cultivation method of Fire Spirit Rice without fail, she would definitely get her hands on a pill from the next batch of Foundation Building pills to be produced.


    At last, she hinted that to complete the task, she could make certain sacrifices.


    It did not need her to clarify what kind of sacrifice, from that sentence alone, Xue Ting understood why her fellow female disciples would push her to take up the task.


    For the first time, she felt that being beautiful was a crime.


    However, the resentment that emerged from her heart made her mentality start to distort. She started thinking, if it is necessary for her to sacrifice in order to complete the task, then after her Foundation Establishment, she will make sure to let others in the sect also taste the bitterness of her sorrow.


    However, the result was completely different from what she imagined. The infamous top Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect turned out to be a person of extreme sincerity.


    The moment she arrived at Xiao Nanshan, her nervousness seemed to be seen through by his clear and bright eyes, and she was immediately placed under the care of sister Zhuo on Court Mountain.


    Zhuo Ming was a person of utmost sincerity. Even before the sowing started, she took Xue Ting to the Spirit Fields on the mountains to teach her the techniques and secrets of Fire Spirit Rice cultivation.


    And on New Year¡¯s Day, the scene she saw at the top of Xiao Nanshan shocked her to the core.


    Could there really exist such a harmonious master-disciple relationship in the Eastern Wilderness?


    Xue Ting used to undertake various tasks to earn contribution points for the sect, and she was familiar with many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, knowing full well that this sect was no different from Snow-Blowing Palace.


    Therefore, the intimate master-disciple relationship in Xiao Nanshan can only be said to be unique to this school.


    Perhaps for this reason, Xue Ting became genuinely curious about Chen Mobai for the first time. The more she got to know him, the more she admired him.


    He was a real genius and an idealist.


    If she were to use one word to describe him, Xue Ting thought he might be a ¡°saint¡±.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave it here for the morning. Come with me to rinse some Spiritual Rice and pick some fruits and vegetables.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming planted the last seedling in this acre of Spiritual Land. She stood up and clapped her hands clean, beckoning Xue Ting to prepare lunch with her.


    On the other side, Chen Mobai also stopped. As a master, naturally, he took this opportunity to rest.


    Luo Yixuan went over to prepare with Zhuo Ming.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In a short while, cooked spiritual rice, roasted spiritual chicken, and a pot of vegetable soup were brought to Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan skillfully sat on either side of Chen Mobai, already eating their served rice. Only Xue Ting stood there, not knowing what to do.


    ¡°Junior Niece Xue Ting, sit down, don¡¯t be restrained, just enjoy.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation, she knelt on the grass with some trepidation. Zhuo Ming handed over a bowl of chopsticks, and she shallowly served herself a bowl of soup which she slowly sipped.


    ¡°The green jade spiritual rice may feel a bit hard when you chew, but the spiritual effect is gentle. Have a taste.¡±

 Chapter 733 - Chapter 733: Chapter 433 "Saint" (8k)_4

    Chapter 733: Chapter 433 ¡°Saint¡± (8k)_4


    Chen Mobai noticed Xue Ting¡¯s restraint and gestured to Zhuo Ming to stop focusing on her own meal so much and serve her a bowl as well.


    His junior disciple obediently did as asked.


    ¡°Thank you, but this Rank-2 Spirit Rice is too precious.¡±


    Xue Ting, somewhat awkward, delayed accepting the Green Jade Spirit Rice from Zhuo Ming. She had been on Xiao Nanshan for over a month and had become familiar with Xiao Nanshan¡¯s talent for cultivating spiritual plants.


    This Green Jade Spirit Rice, being one of two types of Rank-2 Spirit Rice, is as valuable as the crystal Spirit Rice of their Snow-blowing Palace. It was such a rare delicacy that not even her master, Lan Lingping, could necessarily have it at every meal.


    ¡°Eat up. This stuff will soon be all over the place.¡±


    Zhuo Ming said and promptly thrust the bowl into Xue Ting¡¯s hands. She then picked up her own bowl, finishing it clean, and served herself another heaping one.


    By this time, Luo Yixuan had only eaten a small portion of her bowl.


    ¡°Senior sister has a great appetite.¡±


    Seeing this, Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t help expressing her admiration.


    Having been under Chen Mobai¡¯s tutelage for many years, she understood the benefits of eating Spirit Rice at every meal¨C it strengthened one¡¯s inner organs, boosted vitality, and during Foundation Establishment, it could greatly conserve energy at the critical transition of marrow cleansing.


    However, she was only at the Qi Cultivating Realm, so she could only have Rank-1 Spirit Rice at every meal. Rank-2 Spirit Rice could only be eaten every few days.


    Zhuo Ming used to be the same, but since she started practicing the introductory stage of the Nine-foot Law Body technique, things had changed.


    Now, she could manage Rank-2 Spirit Rice once a day without worrying about her body being unable to digest it.


    Additionally, Zhuo Ming¡¯s demand for Spirit Chickens and Spirit Fish had also increased.


    That was a sign of having entered the introductory stage of the Nine-foot Law Body. Initially, Ji Dao Yuan had consumed nutrient-rich Spirit Beast meat for over a decade. After cultivating his Divine Sense, he began using various vigorous blood and energy supplemental medicines to assist him, barely managing to cultivate the first level of the Nine-foot Law Body during the Qi Cultivation.


    Zhuo Ming, however, did not set high demands for herself. If not for the desire to not disgrace the Xiao Nanshan line, and the need to make it to the true disciples list in the sect¡¯s tournament in order to obtain a Foundation Building Pill, she probably wouldn¡¯t bother with this Body Cultivation technique.


    But her Earth Mother Cultivation had allowed her to comprehend the essence of the earth while farming, making her Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques much more effective. Therefore, after eating Spirit Rice for two years, she unexpectedly managed to get the hang of this Body Cultivation technique deemed the most difficult in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Upon mastering it, Zhuo Ming¡¯s appetite greatly increased.


    Luckily, being under Chen Mobai, there was no stinginess with Spirit Stones. Not only did they receive bonuses at the end of each year, but all sorts of Spirit Rice were available, and there was no shortage of Spirit Birds, Spirit Fish, and Spirit Vegetables either.


    The Supplements for the first stage of Nine-foot Law Body, though different from regular medicinal pills for cultivation enhancement and virtually free of dan toxicity, were still turned into a medicinal liquor by Chen Mobai at Yan Jinye¡¯s invitation.


    This required daily consumption but guaranteed no dan toxicity harm.


    So, after the three of them finished eating, Xue Ting watched in astonishment as Zhuo Ming took a gourd from her storage bag, pulled out the stopper to release a rich aroma of wine, then lifted her slender neck and gulped down several mouthfuls.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that Senior Sister Zhuo is such a heavy drinker.¡±


    Among the female cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, Xue Ting had never heard of anyone who drinks. Zhuo Ming¡¯s easy-going nature made her even more envious.


    Only under the guidance of a saint-like master like this could one maintain such purity and innocence, right?


    ¡°Rest for a while. If you two have any cultivation related questions, feel free to ask me.¡±


    After the meal, Chen Mobai lazily lay down on the lawn. However, since his disciples had just asked him questions during the New Year¡¯s festivities, both shook their heads when he suggested it.


    ¡°What about Niece Xue Ting?¡±


    Being a good mentor, Chen Mobai turned to the diligent Xue Ting, who was still busily cleaning up the leftover food, and asked.


    ¡°Erm¡­I can¡¯t think of any questions at the moment.¡±


    After hesitating, Xue Ting, still rather cautious, dared not to ask.


    Chen Mobai heard her and simply ignored it, closing his eyes to contemplate the assembly of the Featureless Puppet.


    He stayed on Xiao Nanshan for five days.


    The first day he personally planted the Green Jade Spirit Rice seedlings. After confirming there were no issues, he spent the next two days controlling a seed-sowing puppet to do the work.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s fifty-acre Spirit Field for Rank-2 crops was swiftly filled with Green Jade Spirit Rice with ease.


    ¡°This is, after all, the first time we¡¯ve planted on such a large scale. There might be unexpected issues, so you guys will have to work hard to guide the farmers in meticulous care.¡±


    Upon finishing the planting, Chen Mobai was ready to retreat for cultivation. Before leaving, naturally, he had to instruct his two disciples.


    Noticing Xue Ting also nodding in agreement, he didn¡¯t mind; instructed his students and then gracefully took off in his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, flying to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Then, the Cloud Mist Array was activated, enveloping the little wooden house on top of the mountain.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought, the notorious Chen Uncle in the outside world is actually a person so simple and unpretentious behind closed doors.¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai leaving, Xue Ting couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He is touted as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s top Sword Cultivator, but throughout their time together, she had never felt the keen aura of a top Sword Cultivator from him.


    It must be that his Sword Dao had returned to its natural simplicity, rendering him indistinguishable from a simple farming hermit.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯ve never seen our master on the battlefield, he was quite fierce when fighting for Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Hearing Xue Ting¡¯s murmur, Luo Yixuan shook her head and responded.


    She always believed that the Way of Farming was just one cultivation art chosen by her master to sharpen his sword fighting intent.

 Chapter 734 - Chapter 734: Chapter 433 Sage (8k)_5

    Chapter 734: Chapter 433 ¡®Sage¡¯ (8k)_5


    The essence of a master is a divine sword that will dazzle for all eternity!


    Of course, Chen Mobai had no idea that in the eyes of his young disciple, he was quickly becoming more than human.


    After confirming with Chu Zuoshu that there would be no large-scale conflicts with Mountain Shaker Peak in the near future, Chen Mobai left his puppet body behind and returned to the other side of the fairy gate.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the delay in getting the core chip fabricated.¡±


    After returning to the studio at the Heavenly Machines Factory, Chen Mobai first apologized to Chai Lun. As the chief engineer of the factory, Zhou Tiangong was usually very busy, so the two of them were basically the only ones using the studio.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, the bureaucracy at the Repairing Heaven Institute is very heavy. I would have been surprised if you had not delayed me.¡±


    Chai Lun previously ordered core chips from the Repairing Heaven Institute and had prepaid the whole amount, but each time it took a while for the entire process to be completed.


    So he nodded in understanding, handed Chen Mobai the skeletal structure of an arm that he had assembled over the past several days, and asked him to check if it had any problems.


    [I feel that the Repairing Heaven Institute is actually quite quick.]


    Chen Mobai thought about his two collaborations with the Repairing Heaven Institute. It seemed that as soon as the money was in place, they immediately arranged for the order to be made.


    Maybe it was because he had used his connections.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t talk anymore about this. He meticulously inspected the skeletal structure of the arm that Chai Lun had assembled and found three small problems.


    He patiently explained them to Chai Lun, then had him disassemble it and reassemble them.


    A month later.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why Chai Lun had roared in frustration when he was teaching him. Although he had handed over the blueprints, Chai Lun did not know the Assembly of the Formless Puppet as well as he did. Each time they assembled it, or printed parts, they encountered unexpected problems.


    Several times they thought they had succeeded in assembling it, but when they channeled spiritual energy into it, they found that it could not light up.


    After checking again, they found that a wire may have been connected wrongly or a part may be sized incorrectly.


    Since the assembly of the Formless Puppet needed high precision, an error margin of 0.01 millimeters was unacceptable. However, Chai Lun¡¯s concept was still at 0.1 millimeters, so many parts that had been printed by him had to be discarded and reprinted.


    This meant that the work they had done over the past month was largely wasted.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt an overwhelming urge to curse.


    However, he certainly wouldn¡¯t take it out on Chai Lun. After consoling him, they reprinted these irregular parts together.


    And Chai Lun, being an excellent puppet master, would not repeat his mistakes. Consequently, as their cooperation matured, the assembly and construction process actually sped up.


    Time slipped by as they worked with dedication.


    By the time Wenren Xuewei delivered the materials for biogenetics, they had actually completed the skeletal structure of the Formless Puppet.


    What was left was to use various materials from bionics to simulate human meridians, blood vessels, visceral flesh, and so forth.


    This would require the help of Wenren Xuewei. Although Chen Mobai had a perfect theoretical understanding, he could expect to make multiple errors if he tried to cover the skeletal structure with the materials.


    ¡°These small electronic components that simulate neurons are also very crucial. They need to be set in the corresponding positions when you cover them with biogenetic materials. This will make the skeletal structure form a connection with the biogenetic meridians, blood vessels, viscera, flesh, etc, if any one of them is misplaced, we will have to cut it open and redo it.¡±


    To guarantee success, Chen Mobai repeated the relevant knowledge to Wenren Xuewei again and again.


    Wenren Xuewei nodded solemnly, confirming that she understood everything and had no doubts.


    However, after the actual coverage was completed, they still encountered issues with six neurons not having a connection.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just consider it a minor surgery.¡±


    Seeing the guilty look on Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face, Chen Mobai comforted her gently, then opened his Void Spirit Eye, picked up a tool similar to a surgical knife, and cut open the biogenetic flesh over the Formless Puppet¡¯s shoulder, precisely finding an electronic component that hadn¡¯t been activated.


    Thankfully, the Formless Puppet had no sense of perception. Chen Mobai soon activated all the neurons. After confirmation that there were no issues, the three people in the studio breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Next, I need your help, Senior Wenren, to regrow these six pieces of cut biogenetic flesh, then reapply and fuse them with the rest of the material.¡±


    Looking at the Formless Puppet with six small holes cut into it on the workstation, Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment.


    Even though he relied on the strength of three companions, he was the leader of this project.


    This was the Formless Puppet, the peak of Daoist Academy¡¯s Puppetry Technique.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he smiled and answered,


    ¡°Hello, teacher! Okay, it¡¯ll be delivered the day after tomorrow, I will be there then.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chai Lun had already guessed what it was and was also excited: ¡°The chip manufacturing is complete, right?¡±


    ¡°Correct. Fu Borong is going to pay a visit to Professor Che Yucheng, so he will bring it over. I will go there to greet them.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, all three of them were overjoyed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be the one slowing us down in the end. I¡¯ll go back to Jumang Daoist Academy right away and try to culture these six pieces of biogenetic flesh as soon as possible.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei said somewhat embarrassingly, then declined Chen Mobai¡¯s offer to see her off. She immediately booked a flight ticket for the same day and left.


    ¡°Have you decided what kind of magical treasure embryo you want the principal to order?¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai, wearing the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, accompanied Che Yucheng to the airport to meet their guest. The latter suddenly asked him.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 735 - Chapter 735: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_1

    Chapter 735: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_1


    Chen Mobai had informed Che Yucheng about the impending completion of the Formless Puppet. This indicated that he was undoubtedly going to be the first one in the graduation project.


    Additionally, as the showcase chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and being involved in the creation of a magical treasure embryo, he was already all but assured of success.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t thought much about this issue. After all, due to the scarcity of resources and absence of competition among the immortals, many Gold Core Cultivators didn¡¯t even possess a magic artifact.


    As a result, research on magic artifacts wasn¡¯t much emphasized among the immortals.


    On the other hand, the development of large instruments and appliances for everyday life was flourishing.


    Under this environment, Dance Tool Dao Academy could be considered the ancestral home of magic artifacts in the world of immortality.


    The Refining Implement Department was reputed to be the best in the world of immortals. Cheng Xuan had been the head of the department before forming his Nascent Soul.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m still uncertain. Could you give me some advice?¡±


    Chen Mobai, always eager to learn and humble, asked Che Yucheng immediately.


    ¡°The choice of magical artifacts has various schools, but we in Dance Tool Dao Academy classify it into two: ¡®Exploit Strengths, Avoid Weaknesses¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Exploiting Strengths involves refining a magic artifact that perfectly matches your own cultivation technique and constitution, thus fully displaying the areas you excel in.¡±


    ¡°Avoiding Weaknesses means using a magic artifact to compensate for the shortcomings of your cultivation technique, so the originally lethal problems become less lethal.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained briefly the understanding of magical artifacts in Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After drinking Enlightenment Tea and consuming a lot of Snow Needle Immortal Buds, Chen Mobai had become a genius. He comprehended these words and suddenly realized that the principle of ¡®Exploit Strengths, Avoid Weaknesses¡¯ perfectly summed up the two uses of magical artifacts.


    ¡°So, Teacher, do you think I should ¡®Exploit Strengths¡¯ or ¡®Avoid Weaknesses¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, but Che Yucheng just shook his head this time, letting him make his own choice.


    ¡°A magical artifact is a part of your Dao Fruit in the latter half of your cultivation journey. No one else can make this decision for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words left Chen Mobai deep in thought.


    Just then, two people dressed in Repairing Heaven¡¯s Colored Cloud Garments walked over. One of them was Chen Mobai¡¯s acquaintance, the former chief instructor of Repairing Heaven Institute, Ling Dao Master.


    The other one was a cultured, middle-aged man with grey-black hair and glasses; it was Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s Gold Core Cultivator, Fu Borong.


    ¡°Long time no see, you seem to have aged a bit?¡±


    Standing up, Che Yucheng shook hands with Fu Borong and said a remark that left the latter shaking his head and smiling wryly.


    ¡°Ever since the school ranking dropped to the fourth place under my watch, and the dean is also about to come out of seclusion, I have been worrying about how to explain this to him. I have hardly been able to sleep these two years.¡±


    During the offline exchange meeting of Jumang Dao Academy, Chen Mobai¡¯s single sword defeated everyone, pushing Dance Tool Dao Academy, which had always been ranked fourth, to the first place.


    In contrast, Wen Renxuewei, because of her successful Lasting Spring Cultivation, could not be surpassed by either Kunpeng or Repairing Heaven, causing the last place to be Repairing Heaven Institute unintentionally.


    Fu Borong was still the head of the academic affairs office of Repairing Heaven Institute. Since his tenure, the school had always managed to maintain the second rank.


    But suddenly dropping to the last place, the disparity was too great, and it was a little difficult for him to accept.


    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve been sleeping really well.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Che Yucheng laughed heartily, not afraid of offending Fu Borong.


    ¡°This must be your outstanding disciple.¡±


    Fu Borong chose to ignore him. Turning to Chen Mobai, he reached out his hand.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Teacher Fu. I¡¯m Chen Mobai, a student of Teacher Che.¡±


    Chen Mobai always behaved well in front of Gold Core Cultivators. Seeing Fu Borong¡¯s gesture, he immediately extended both hands to grasp the other¡¯s single hand.


    ¡°Youth deserves respect indeed.¡±


    Fu Borong smiled at Chen Mobai and resumed reminiscing and chatting with Che Yucheng after this remark.


    ¡°Long time no see, Senior Brother Ling.¡±


    As the two big shots were immersed in their conversation, Chen Mobai noticed Ling Dao Master standing by himself and took the initiative to greet him. He had wholly forgotten that he had beaten him bloody back at Jumang Dao Academy.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    Ling Dao Master responded indifferently. He had chosen public service after graduation and via the arrangement of Repairing Heaven Institute, he was now a civil servant auditing various research resources from the world of immortality.


    He had accompanied Fu Borong this time as there was a long-standing project between Dance Tool Dao Academy and Repairing Heaven Institute that needed to be settled. He, as the auditor, needed to witness this. It was necessary to incorporate this transaction into the year-end accounts.


    Chen Mobai saw Ling Dao Master¡¯s nonchalant response, so he also didn¡¯t pester him. He simply smiled, standing beside them and watching the two big shots converse.


    ¡°In the midst of chatting, I almost forgot about this thing.¡±


    Suddenly, Fu Borong remembered the rank-3 Core Chip. With a gripping gesture in the thin air, a sealed transparent plastic box fell into his palm.


    Is this the domain of the Gold Core?


    While Chen Mobai was wondering about this, Che Yucheng had already received the core chip custom-made for the Formless Puppet. After he used his Divine Sense to check it thoroughly, he nodded satisfactorily.

    ¡°Well, this little fellow gave me some face. This thing is top quality.¡±


    After saying this, Che Yucheng gave the item to Chen Mobai, who immediately thanked Fu Borong.


    ¡°Truly, youth is to be feared. When I was at his age, I had just passed the rank-3 qualification.¡±


    Fu Borong expressed amazement at Chen Mobai¡¯s ability to produce a Formless Puppet while still in school, but the latter just humbly smiled.

 Chapter 736 - Chapter 736: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_2

    Chapter 736: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_2


    ¡°It¡¯s just average, mainly because I taught well.¡±


    At this time, Che Yucheng began to take credit for himself, because he knew Chen Mobai¡¯s recent popularity was too high, and felt the need to share the burden with this disciple.


    After all, the higher one is held, the harder one falls.


    ¡°You¡¯re certainly bluffing.¡±


    Fu Borong didn¡¯t give Che Yucheng any face because Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was one of the hottest topics in the Immortal Sect in recent years.


    After leaving the airport, the four of them quickly arrived at Crimson Mountain.


    Although Chen Mobai was no longer the student council president, arranging matters was still no problem. After leading Fu Borong and Ling Daoshi to their accommodation, he was about to leave,


    ¡°Little Chen, have you considered studying at our Repairing Heaven Institute for a few years?¡±


    Fu Borong suddenly stopped him and asked a question.


    ¡°Teacher Fu, I haven¡¯t planned on further education yet.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a shame. With your qualifications, if you were to further your studies at Repairing Heaven Institute, becoming one of the three great hall masters in the future wouldn¡¯t be impossible.¡±


    Fu Borong¡¯s words got Chen Mobai¡¯s heart pounding.


    Since its establishment, Repairing Heaven Institute has produced the most number of hall masters in the Immortal Sect.


    The current legal hall master was a graduate from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Moreover, one of the Twin Sages of the Immortal Gate, Ancestor Qian Xing, also laid the foundation for Divinity Transformation by studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Repairing Heaven Institute has always been the most popular Daoist academy in the Immortal Gate.


    When Chen Mobai was a child, his dream was to enter the Repairing Heaven Institute and become the Master of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I appreciate your kindness, Teacher Fu. I will give it some serious thought.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s tone softened a bit, and he did not flatly refuse anymore.


    ¡°I have heard that you are cultivating Pure Yang Scroll. The founder Yuan Yang was also a graduate of Repairing Heaven Institute, and we still keep many of his things, including a Pure Yang Qi. Nangong Xuanyu has been asking for it for a long time, but the dean did not agree. If you come, I can mention this matter to the dean.¡±


    Fu Borong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai slightly shake. Pure Yang Qi was a kind of True Qi that could only be refined after the Gold Core Perfection, which contained the true meaning of the Great Dao.


    Usually, being able to refine True Qi means that one can start trying Nascent Soul Formation.


    For example, Zhou Shengqing of Divine Wood Sect, who had reached the perfection of the Gold Core Cultivation, was already refining Longevity True Qi.


    If a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll could have Yuan Yang¡¯s Pure Yang Qi as reference, there would undoubtedly be a correct direction for Nascent Soul Formation.


    No wonder Nangong Xuanyu requested it from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°I need to discuss this with Teacher Che.¡±


    Without a doubt, Chen Mobai was tempted, but he also knew that this would not be easy to obtain. In order to avoid being fooled, he had to ask Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Right, let¡¯s exchange contact information. If you decide to come to our institute, let me know in advance, and I¡¯ll arrange things for you.¡±


    After adding Fu Borong as a friend, Chen Mobai immediately went to Che Yucheng¡¯s office and told him about the matter.


    ¡°He did mention this to me, but I still think that you should make your own life decisions.¡±


    ¡°What I can confirm is that the Repairing Heaven Institute does indeed possess Pure Yang Qi left by Ancestor Yuan Yang.¡±


    ¡°However, this Pure Yang Qi is in the hands of Yuan Xu. Whether it can be given to you is not up to Fu Borong. It requires Yuan Xu¡¯s approval.¡±


    ¡°Think it over.¡±


    After thanking Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai left the building.


    With thoughts swirling in his mind, when he brought the core chip to the workshop of the Heavenly Craft Factory, he was somewhat absent-minded.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chai Lun, this rough man, also noticed and asked.


    Chen Mobai thought about it and decided not to bring his personal matters here. He shook his head, suppressed the emotions in his heart, disassembled the core chip, and began to debug and check it.


    Although Che Yucheng had already looked it over, to play it safe, he might as well finish this while Fu Borong was still at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Before long, Zhou Tiangong also arrived. His Heavenly Factory worked closely with the Repairing Heaven Institute, often custom-making large-scale machinery core chips, so he had all kinds of experimental chip data equipment.


    He was a great help to Chen Mobai.


    After confirming that the core chip had no problems, they prepared to install the chip into the No-Phase Mannequin. This was also the most critical step, which required linkage with all the neurons to control the entire puppet.


    But they still needed to wait for Wen Ren Xuewei to bring the remaining bionic materials.


    Chen Mobai took the opportunity to rest for a few days.


    This also happened to be a good chance to think about his Magical Treasure Embryo and whether or not to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°Brother, we haven¡¯t hung out together for a long time.¡±


    At a barbecue stand outside the campus, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua each downed a drink. But as they put down their glasses, Ming Yuhua¡¯s mood seemed a bit bitter.


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve worked so hard to restore a Rank-3 ancient treasure with the juniors of the Artifact Refining Department. I originally thought I could use this graduation project to secure the first place, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so extraordinary.¡±


    Knowing that Chen Mobai had actually chosen the No-Phase Mannequin and had almost finished it, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but feel downcast.


    ¡°Brother, the headmaster won¡¯t just give the Magical Treasure Embryo to one person. Given your achievements, I guess you¡¯re only second to me. There¡¯s definitely a share for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to comfort him. As he spoke, he revealed the real purpose of inviting Ming Yuhua for a drink today.


    ¡°Brother, if you were in my shoes, what kind of Magical Treasure Embryo would you ask the headmaster to refine? I¡¯ve been troubled by this issue lately and came to seek your advice.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely sought advice from Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°Me? Definitely an Artifact Refining Furnace.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you already have a Mysterious Yang Cauldron of Rank-2 high quality?¡±


    ¡°I plan to let the headmaster modify my Mysterious Yang Cauldron as the base and turn this Cauldron into my Magical Treasure Embryo. This will save me the time of refining in the future, and I won¡¯t have to waste time re-sacrificing and getting used to it.¡±


    After hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s plan, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. Only an Artifact Refiner like him could think of this.


    Should I ask Cheng Xuan to modify my Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror into my Magical Treasure Embryo?


    It seems plausible. After all, because I had used the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, I had already bound this Rank-3 Artifact to myself, making it my kind-of personal Magical Treasure.


    Before successfully practicing ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± it would be better to directly transform the Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror into my Magical Treasure since I was going to upgrade it anyway.


    Chen Mobai shared this idea with Ming Yuhua, but the latter shook his head after hearing it.


    ¡°After you¡¯ve used the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, this Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror is essentially your Magical Treasure Embryo. If you let the headmaster make a move again, it would be a waste.¡±


    ¡°Brother, are you saying that I can have two Magical Treasures?¡±


    ¡°Not really, even a Gold Core cultivator can¡¯t afford to maintain two Magical Treasures. I just think you are at a loss in this case; you might as well not take first place.¡±


    Hearing what Ming Yuhua said, Chen Mobai felt it was really so. He had worked hard to gather a team and can¡¯t afford to spin his wheels.


    And, others can¡¯t afford to maintain two, but he can.


    Although his Good Deed Points were in negative numbers, his storage bag was full of Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai felt that not to mention two Magical Treasures, even three or four wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    ¡°Old Chen, I remember there are several methods for refining the Pure Yang Treasure in the ancient Pure Yang Scroll. You can try this.¡±


    When they finished drinking and were about to say goodbye, Ming Yuhua suddenly remembered this and slapped his forehead, suggesting it to Chen Mobai.

    Now, the Pure Yang Scroll that the cultivators are practicing is revised by Yuan Xu¡¯s old ancestor, and it only contains Cultivation Methods and the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    The original ancient Pure Yang Scroll is, however, quite obscure and difficult to understand.


    Luckily, this ancient book is in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately went to the library to search for this information. He originally thought that it would be highly valuable, and he would need to ask Che Yucheng for approval before getting it. Unexpectedly, he found it easily in a corner.

 Chapter 737 - Chapter 737: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure_1

    Chapter 737: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure_1


    Upon opening the ancient Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai found that it was all written in Classical Chinese, and many sections were filled with trade jargon such as Lead Mercury Fetal Incubation. Yet, with his current comprehension, he only understood about ten percent of it.


    Moreover, the cultivation techniques, spells, and magical artifacts were all written haphazardly¨Cthe layout was not very user-friendly either.


    After flipping through the entire ancient Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai finally extracted all the sections pertaining to magical artifacts.


    They were namely the Primordial Yang Sword, Primordial Yang Mirror, Primordial Yang Bell, Primordial Yang Cauldron, Primordial Yang Immortal Robes, and Primordial Yang Treasure Beads.


    Among them, what intrigued Chen Mobai the most were the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads.


    Perfected in cultivation, this magical treasure could transform into a second Nascent Soul. If sufficient Innate Primordial Yang Purple Qi could be absorbed in the future, it could even evolve into a second Primordial Spirit¨Cequivalent to a clone of the Divinity Transformation Stage.


    To refine this treasure, one needs a fire attribute Spiritual Pearl which is rather common. However, this method can only take it up to Rank-4 at best, and it will be unable to transform into the second Primordial Spirit.


    To reach the peak, one needs a Spiritual Pearl containing the Innate Dao Rhythm. This will then enable it to absorb the Innate Primordial Yang Purple Qi.


    As for Chen Mobai, he undoubtedly wanted to accomplish it all in one step. Unfortunately, such materials were unheard of even in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Having gleaned the details on the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads, he then skimmed through the introductions of the other five Pure Yang Treasures, his excitement surging dramatically.


    In ancient times, cultivators of Pure Yang Scroll held a mirror in the left hand, a sword in the right, wore the Immortal Robes on their body, kept the Treasure Bead in their mouth, the Golden Bell on top of their head, and suspended the Treasure Cauldron by their feet. This ensemble was renowned as the ¡°Primordial Yang Set¡±.


    A cultivator in possession of the Primordial Yang Set was unquestionably invincible within the same realm. Their equipment was vast, comprehensive, and entirely flawless.


    Moreover, this set of magical treasures proved beneficial even during Tribulations¨Cit could effectively counteract both the Heavenly Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation.


    However, since the era of the Immortal Gates, very few cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll could afford such luxuries. Though Yuan Yang, the old ancestor, managed to cultivate the six-piece Primordial Yang Set, only his sword was Rank-5.


    This was because the sword was his life-bound magical treasure, hence it could naturally ascend alongside the cultivator¡¯s realm.


    Upon reading the details of the Primordial Yang Set, Chen Mobai found himself yearning. He had resources from the Tianhe Realm at his disposal. After reaching higher realms in the future, could he perhaps attempt to assemble one set himself?


    But that was a matter for the future. At present, his priority was to determine his life-bound magical artifact.


    It required thoughtful consideration, which prompted him to brood over taking the ancient Pure Yang Scroll home to study it more carefully.


    ¡°This is a copy. You can borrow it.¡±


    Overseeing the management of the Dao Academy Library was a Foundation Establishment teacher nearing retirement. He glanced at the Pure Yang Scroll and nodded, taking Chen Mobai¡¯s student card to process the loan.


    ¡°If you are interested in fire attribute magical artifacts, you can find ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools Volume 4¡¯ on the C-7 bookshelf on the third floor. This book, edited by the school principal, cataloged such materials.¡±


    A reason was required for borrowing materials. Chen Mobai mentioned his considerations regarding the Magical Treasure Embryo. The librarian, who was from the Refining Implement Department, offered him a suggestion after hearing his intention.


    Chen Mobai thanked him and immediately borrowed that book as well.


    ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools¡¯ was published by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and had a total of nine volumes. The fourth volume was entirely dedicated to fire attribute artifacts.


    After browsing through it, Chen Mobai found many tantalizing materials, such as Nine Fire Dragon Shield, Five Fire Seven-Feather Fan, Divine Fire Pillar, Fire Jade Heart Lotus, Purple Flame Golden Lamp, Fire Spirit Mysterious Bead, Beacon Fire Straw Mat, and much more.


    After reading the fourth volume of ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools¡¯, Chen Mobai reviewed the Primordial Yang Set again.


    All of a sudden, he was stricken with indecision.


    Normally, he was accustomed to seeking the counsel of his teachers or searching online for answers in the face of difficulties. Now, he was left to make the decision by himself, leaving him absolutely bewildered and unsure.


    Standing by the window of his cabin, he gazed out at the surrounding green forest and the luxurious villa atop the hill¨Cfilled with fond memories, he took in a deep breath.


    Chen Mobai then opened the room¡¯s door and ventured deeper into the forested hill. Amongst the refreshingly crisp air, his thoughts began to clear.


    He carefully evaluated his strengths and weaknesses and decided it¡¯d be best to compensate for his shortcomings.


    After all, upon graduation, he would undoubtedly focus his attention on the Eastern Wilderness. There, every cultivator was skilled in magical duels. If he had any weaknesses, he would be targeted and easily taken advantage of.


    On the offensive front, his Sword Dao was already at its peak.


    On the defensive side, he had multiple Rank-2 and Rank-3 magical artifacts. Hence, there were hardly any threats within his realm.


    Only in terms of his Divine Sense was he inadequately protected. The Big Tree¡¯s sanctity had been significantly depleted when he repelled the Yinming Messenger¡¯s soul possession outside the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. He wasn¡¯t sure if he¡¯d be able to resist another attempt.


    There was another consideration as well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the Foundation Establishment, breaking into a higher realm would invoke the Heart Demon Tribulation. Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too confident about himself.


    Moreover, the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion had prophesied that his Core Formation would face three tribulations. Although Chen Mobai had proactively prepared for it, intercourse with Meng Huang didn¡¯t guarantee he would have sufficient Divine Sense to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Thus, additional security was necessary.


    Hence, he wanted to refine a magical treasure that could suppress Heart Demon and guard the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion in order to solve this problem once and for all.


    After the winnowing, the options had come down to the Primordial Yang Bell from the Primordial Yang Set and the Fire Jade Heart Lotus from the Encyclopedia of Magical Tools.

 Chapter 738 - Chapter 738: Chapter 435 Pure Yang Treasure_2

    Chapter 738: Chapter 435 Pure Yang Treasure_2


    Among them, obtaining the Fire Jade Heart Lotus is relatively easy, requiring only a piece of fire-attribute jade and a red lotus that blooms deep within a volcano.


    For the fire-attribute jade, Chen Mobai could figure out a way to trade for a piece of thousand-year warm jade with the Snow-blowing Palace. The volcano red lotus can be found deep within the Treasure Trove, though it requires a considerable number of credits for exchange.


    A Rank-3 red lotus needs 200 credits.


    However, if Chen Mobai pooled together his credits by the end of the year, he would have enough.


    But compared to the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, he was more interested in the Pure Yang Bell, even though the functions of these two magic artifacts were nearly identical.


    However, the main material for the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, warm jade, could potentially expose his Turtle Treasure, and the potential for improvement was limited.


    In comparison, the Pure Yang Bell offered the possibility of forming a Primordial Yang Set, with far greater potential for future improvement.


    However, the materials for the Pure Yang Bell were difficult to gather. Furthermore, because it was to be crafted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, the origins of all the materials had to be clear. The main material for crafting the bell, Rank-3 red copper, was best purchased from the Immortal Sect¡¯s side.


    Chen Mobai looked up the prices online and found that if he wanted to create the Pure Yang Bell, he would likely need to spend nearly twenty million Good Deed Points purchasing red copper.


    Furthermore, Rank-3 red copper was regulated by the Immortal Sect, and as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn¡¯t buy it yet.


    However, if he decided to choose the Pure Yang Bell as the embryo for his magical treasure, perhaps Master Cheng Xuan and Teacher Che Yucheng would help him out?


    If all else fails, he could choose Ming Yuhua¡¯s method and fabricate a bell-shaped artifact from the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, then have the headmaster modify it. That way, he could save a lot on material costs.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai tentatively set the Pure Yang Bell as his first choice for his magical treasure embryo.


    After making the decision, he was suddenly free from his worries.


    After thanking Ming Yuhua over a phone call, Chen Mobai once again energetically dived into adjustments to the Faceless Puppet.


    Indeed, the peak of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Puppetry Technique was extraordinary, as they encountered a variety of problems during the debugging process.


    However, Chen Mobai overcame these challenges one by one while in a state of total comprehension. The replacing of components and other related tasks cost another one to two million Good Deed Points, but these costs were all counted on Zhou Tiangong¡¯s account.


    During this time, Wenren Xuewei was also regularly on a video call with them because the materials for Bionics could only be cultivated and created at the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    The items needed for recultivation were all ordered by Chen Mobai and then promptly arranged by her. The materials were then shipped at the fastest speed possible.


    They had initially predicted that they would complete it by the end of June, but ultimately, it was dragged out until the end of August.


    However, no one complained because they saw the Faceless Puppet become more and more perfect each day.


    By the time it was finally complete, the expressionless puppet, standing in the middle of the workshop looking similar to a human figure, drew contented smiles from Chen Mobai, his two companions, and even Wenren Xuewei, who was on the video call.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try to activate it.¡±


    Zhou Tiangong took out a spirit stone that had been charged by the Immortal Sect, expertly placed it in the puppet¡¯s head, then inputted a Qi Cultivation technique and began the process of Foundation Establishment.


    In the cluttered workshop filled with various parts and tools, the Faceless Puppet gradually became transparent. Its meridians, bones, and internal organs slowly emerged.


    Under the tense gazes of the four individuals, the number wheel situated in the puppet¡¯s left eye began to slowly rotate, moving from ¡°zero¡± to ¡°one¡±.


    It then quickly became ¡°nine¡±, signifying the beginning of the simulated Foundation Establishment process.


    Seeing this scene in front of them, the foursome couldn¡¯t help but feel overjoyed, exchanging high fives.


    More than half a year¡¯s effort had finally yielded perfect results today.


    ¡°The three of you have worked hard.¡±


    Although Wenren Xuewei wasn¡¯t physically there, she empathized with them and gave them a gentle round of applause, smiling warmly at the three through the video call.


    ¡°You¡¯ve also worked hard, senior sister.¡±


    Although Wenren Xuewei had only been there three or four times, without her help at Jumang Daoist Academy, the progress of the Faceless Puppet might have been delayed by a year or two.


    ¡°Senior sister, you should come and celebrate with us. The day after tomorrow, we¡¯re going to the Immortal Sect¡¯s Certification Department to apply for certification for the Faceless Puppet. As long as we pass, the four of us can get our Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates.¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Wenren Xuewei, who was on the video call. She nodded her agreement. It was such an important occasion; she needed to be there in person.


    Afterwards, Chen Mobai filmed a video of the operational Faceless Puppet and sent it to Che Yucheng, attaching a short message.


    [Teacher, I¡¯ve done it.]


    In his office, Che Yucheng, who was reading a newspaper, glanced at the video on his mobile screen and involuntarily held his breath. A sense of indescribable satisfaction appeared on his aged face.


    [Good job, you can graduate now.]


    Seeing this message, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile, though he remained humble.


    [I still have a lot to learn.]


    Laughing heartily, Che Yucheng watched the video of the Faceless Puppet operating over and over, and eventually couldn¡¯t resist visiting Chen Mobai¡¯s workshop in person.


    ¡°Master Che!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All three present were students of Che Yucheng, their faces full of reverence when they saw him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve all done excellent.¡±


    Touching the Faceless Puppet, which although still lacking some refinement was already functionally complete, a look of delight filled Che Yucheng¡¯s face.


    ¡°The professional certification for Rank-3 Puppet Masters has to go through me, as I am the authority on the Faceless Puppet. There¡¯s nothing wrong with yours; you will definitely get the Rank-3 certificates.¡±

 Chapter 739 - Chapter 739: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure _3

    Chapter 739: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure _3


    After checking everything personally, Che Yucheng said something that delighted Chen Mobai and his group even more.


    When Wen Renxuewei arrived and the four of them took the Faceless Puppet to the Immortal Door for verification, it immediately alarmed Hong Mengkui, the lord of Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    The Rank-3 certification for a Puppet Master is different from other Rank-3 professions, the only standard is the Faceless Puppet.


    The Faceless Puppet is something that only the four Daoist Academies possess. Even the top ten colleges can¡¯t produce it.


    With this certificate, the four of them, if willing to refine the Faceless Puppet, could be offered an astronomical price by the top ten colleges to invite them over.


    However, among these four, three graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and one is a disciple of Long-lasting Dao Spring Cultivation from Jumang Daoist Academy; they would definitely not go to the top ten colleges.


    ¡°Please wait a moment, I¡¯ll call Che Yucheng for verification.¡±


    Sure enough, after Hong Mengkui attempted some of the functions of the Faceless Puppet himself, he made them sit and called Che Yucheng personally.


    On the other end of the call, Che Yucheng acted in disbelief, shocked that there were juniors in the Immortal Gate who could refine the Faceless Puppet.


    ¡°Oh, so it was my disciples who accomplished this. No wonder then.¡±


    When Che Yucheng arrived and saw Chen Mobai, he acted as though he had just understood something.


    Hong Mengkui, who was on the side, felt a bit uncomfortable after listening to him.


    On the contrary, the leaders of the professional certification department of the Immortal Gate immediately followed Che Yucheng¡¯s words and praised them. They all admired that the Dance Tool Dao Academy was indeed the number one university in the Immortal Gate, and Chen Mobai was truly deserving of the Qualification of Deification¡­.


    After a long bout of praise, under the gaze of everyone, Che Yucheng demonstrated all expected functions of the Faceless Puppet, including performance, calculation, cultivation, magic duel, and protection, etc.


    After ensuring there were no issues in any aspect, Che Yucheng ticked all the boxes on a form, signed his own name, and stamped it with his professional seal.


    Chen Mobai looked at it and realized it was the seal of a Rank-4 Puppet Master.


    ¡°Among the Immortals, there are only two Rank-4 Puppet Masters, Che Yucheng and Master Xin Ji from Jumang Daoist Academy. To reward them for their groundbreaking achievement of the Faceless Puppet, after Master Xin Ji passed away, only Che Yucheng remains.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai looking puzzled, Wen Renxuewei explained.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai seemed to understand. He had heard of this before.


    ¡°What kind of person was Master Xin Ji?¡±


    After seeing Che Yucheng complete the verification of the Faceless Puppet and start chatting with Hong Mengkui, and the staff of the Immortal Gate Professional Certification Department had gone to produce the Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates and stamps for the four of them, Chen Mobai started a conversation with Wen Renxuewei.


    ¡°He was a versatile scholar. Among the students of the Four Daoist Academies of his time, no one was his match, almost like you are now.¡±


    Chen Mobai became curious at this.


    He was currently considered as one with the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Master Yuan Xu of the Repairing Heaven Institute was in the same class as Master Xin Ji, but was known as ¡®the eternal second¡¯ because he couldn¡¯t outperform Master Xin Ji.¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked when he heard this.


    Who was Master Yuan Xu? He was the only recipient of the ¡°Flying Immortal Award¡± in the last thousand years among the Immortals, known as having half of the existence the Transformation God Level.


    The fact that Master Xin Ji could suppress him¡­ That meant he could be compared with Chen Mobai who had the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°The loss of such a hero is indeed a great loss for the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Chen Mobai lamented. Logically speaking, since Master Xin Ji had been more outstanding than Master Yuan Xu in his youth, he should have reached the stage of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    However, he only reached the Golden Core Realm and passed away thirty years ago.


    This proved that being intelligent at a young age doesn¡¯t necessarily mean the same in adulthood.


    Chen Mobai realized he couldn¡¯t become complacent due to his current achievements at school. He needed to stay humble, work hard, and strive to improve himself, aiming to become like Master Yuan Xu, not Master Xin Ji.


    ¡°In fact, Master Xin Ji initially had hope for the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, but due to the successive death of his adept partner and daughter, his Dao heart became desolate, and ultimately, the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± failed. Afterwards, he got somewhat obsessed¡­¡±


    When she spoke to this point, Wen Renxuewei suddenly hesitated and didn¡¯t continue.


    Chen Mobai glanced at her, he hates it when people leave sentences unfinished.


    ¡°Did Master Xin Ji die of obsession?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. A lot of his dossiers in the Immortal Gates were actually altered and deleted. Because I practice the Long-lasting Spring Cultivation, I have higher privileges in the Daoist Academies, so I know a bit about his life after his failed attempt at ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±. He spent the rest of his life trying to resurrect his adept partner and daughter, and the Faceless Puppet was one of his attempts.¡±


    Perhaps Chen Mobai¡¯s talent exhibited over the past few days had won Wen Renxuewei over, she hesitated for a while, then suddenly used a secret transmission technique to relay these words to Chen Mobai¡¯s ears.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was shocked: ¡°Resurrecting partner and daughter with puppets? How could such an earth-shattering thing be possible?¡±


    ¡°Others may not be able to make it, but I believe it is possible for Master Xin Ji. He was a Rank-4 professional in alchemy, medicine, puppetry, bionics, human cell engineering, spiritology, etc. He could potentially find a way.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei shook her head. Originally, she didn¡¯t believe in these things either. But until nine years ago at the new-student induction ceremony at the Daoist Academy, she saw that person.


    ¡°But Master Xin Ji passed away in the end right? He must not have accomplished the resurrection, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai said again, believing that resurrection was impossible.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I don¡¯t know if I should tell you.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei¡¯s remark made Chen Mobai raise his eyebrows. He despised those who beat around the bush.


    However, recalling that the last person who did this in front of him was the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion, he immediately began to ask for advice humbly.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Feel free to speak.¡±

    Wen Renxuewei: ¡°Qing Nu is your friend, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Yes, the best kind.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei: ¡°She looks exactly like Master Xin Ji¡¯s daughter.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly shocked on the spot, unable to utter a word.

 Chapter 740 - Chapter 740: Chapter 436: The War Begins_1

    Chapter 740: Chapter 436: The War Begins_1


    Chen Mobai had once suspected Qing Nu¡¯s background.


    However, after hearing what Kong Feichen was saying about their childhood, Chen Mobai felt that the undercurrents ran deep, and it¡¯s better for him not to know.


    But after hearing what Wen Renxuewei said today, coupled with what he already knew, Chen Mobai felt like he was lost in a fog, sensing that there might be a significant secret of the Celestial World hidden within.


    He recalled the time when he was at Jumang Daoist Academy, where Kong Feichen handed over the Devouring Heaven Serpent to him, and mentioned that it involved the three Hall Master of the Celestial World.


    If it was indeed true, even Nascent Soul realm lords might not be able to cover it.


    Chen Mobai started to worry about Qing Nu. As one of his best friends, he had a good understanding of her personality.


    She is in the Repair Heaven group, and he didn¡¯t know if she would heed advice. If she were still investigating their childhood, the closer she got to the truth, the deeper she might sink into the abyss.


    ¡°Does anyone else know about this other than you?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a stern face. Wen Renxuewei hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.


    ¡°The principal knows about it, but she asked me not to mind it and just treat it as a common student affair.¡±


    The principal of Jumang Daoist Academy is Tao Hua.


    However, as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, before Qing Nu was exempted from the academy entrance examination, all her details must have been scrutinized by Jumang Daoist Academy.


    The matter of their childhood, with the power and influence of Jumang Daoist Academy, they would definitely know part of the truth. Since Tao Hua takes such an attitude, at least the Celestial World has a friendly attitude towards Qing Nu, who is a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Listening to Wen Renxuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a little relieved.


    However, in his heart, he had remembered this matter. In the future, if he could hold a high position in the Celestial World, he would definitely revisit this matter.


    ¡°Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Wen Renxuewei politely, who smiled gently in return.


    At this time, the Certification Department of the Celestial World had already prepared their Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates and seals.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s rare for you to come here. I¡¯m hosting today. You four should come along as well.¡±


    On the other side, Hong Mengkui had already invited Che Yucheng to catch up on old times, and he waved at Chen Mobai and the others.


    The six of them arrived at a tastefully decorated restaurant in Crimson City. The two big shots sat down to chat over tea, even mentioning Bian Jingchun.


    ¡°I have yet to thank you for letting her use the True Dragon Ding for her cultivation.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. No matter how top-ranked the Magic Artifact is, it can only play a role when used. Besides being your disciple, she is also a graduate of our academy. If I can help set the foundation of her Core Formation and Dragon Transformation, it would be a merit of my tenure.¡±


    Che Yucheng said, downplaying the matter. As the dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, although he was distracted by various chores on ordinary days, he always prioritized education.


    Chen Mobai had been in the academy for nearly a decade and had never seen Che Yucheng missing a single puppetry class.


    Speaking of Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai had almost completely forgotten his senior sister.


    It seems that she still uses the True Dragon Ding for her Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique cultivation in Treasure Trove. I wonder how many Spirit Stones she has to give up to use the Rank-4 Magic Artifact?


    The profits of the True Dragon Ding should be less than that of the Purple Electric Sword. If he wants to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in the future, he certainly cannot offer such high compensation again.


    Now, Chen Mobai regretted giving a top-grade Spirit Stone to the Purple Electric Sword every year. If he had known this earlier, he would have consulted Pei Qingshuang about the market situation and potentially saved more than half.


    After completing the formless puppet, Chen Mobai had finished his graduation project from the Dance Tool Dao Academy in advance.


    After celebrating for two days with his three partners Zhou Tiangong, Chai Lun, and Wen Renxuewei, they all went their separate ways.


    After all, each of them is a True Cultivator. Even the worst among them, Chai Lun, is the owner of a company. He hasn¡¯t taken any orders because of the formless puppet project, and he now urgently needs to go back and save his puppet-making company from bankruptcy.


    Zhou Tiangong, as the chief engineer of the Heavenly Work Factory, is the busiest of the four. He could only stay half a day at the celebration.


    Finally, it was Chen Mobai who saw off Wen Renxuewei and Chai Lun.


    ¡°I¡¯m probably going to reach Core Formation soon. You have to hurry up too. Don¡¯t make us wait too long.¡±


    Before leaving, Wen Renxuewei teased Chen Mobai, which made him slightly stunned.


    ¡°Lasting Spring Cultivation is really incredible.¡±


    Listening on the side, Chai Lun, was full of admiration. In the entire Celestial World, it is only Wen Renxuewei who doesn¡¯t need to wait for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°I may still need twenty years. After all, I still need to cultivate my Pure Yang Daoist Body to the six Yang realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about his plan of Core Formation, his heart moved slightly, and he took this opportunity to reveal a bit of his plans for the future in front of his two good friends.


    ¡°Oh, could it be that you have inherited work experience from your predecessor?¡±

    Chai Lun looked surprised. Apart from that, even the Generation-2 Celestial like Pei Qingshuang needs to wait sixty years to be eligible to exchange for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°I want to try to reach Core Formation without the Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s calm statement sparked a glimmer in Wen Renxuewei¡¯s eyes.


    She looked at the handsome and confident young man in front of her, a different spark appearing in her eyes.

    Chapter 741: Chapter 436 War Begins_2


    ¡°What you¡¯re saying isn¡¯t necessarily impossible. But failing at Core Formation isn¡¯t the same as failing at Foundation Establishment. Many people might only get one shot in their lifetime. You¡¯re highly talented. If you get held up at this step and don¡¯t fully realize your potential, it¡¯d be a great loss for the Immortal Sect and the Daoist Academy. So think it over carefully.¡±


    Chai Lun was mature and prudent. He cared a lot about his junior Chen Mobai and was afraid that Chen¡¯s qualifications for Deification would meet an untimely end. Hence, he felt compelled to offer a word of advice.


    ¡°The one chance you¡¯re talking about is because, in the Immortal Sect system, most people can only trade for one Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    ¡°If I try to form my core without using the Gold Core Spiritual Material first, even if I fail, not only would I have gained experience, it wouldn¡¯t affect my exchange for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    ¡°Thus, during my second attempt at Core Formation, with the help of the pill, my chances of success will actually increase.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered a seemingly plausible explanation. However, after hearing it, Chai Lun realized that it indeed made sense and started to contemplate whether he could do the same.


    ¡°Without a Gold Core Spiritual Material to protect your Dantian and Purple Palace, the backlash of failing at Core Formation could cripple the Taoist Body of most cultivators. Junior Brother Chen, it¡¯s better if you¡¯re more cautious.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei, who relied on her exquisite Lasting Spring Cultivation, had attempted Core Formation several times and possessed the most extensive experience in this regard within the Immortal Sect. Her words broke Chai Lun¡¯s reverie.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t rush during my first attempt at Core Formation. If I sense any signs of failure, I¡¯ll disperse my spiritual power. Worst case scenario, I¡¯ll just start over. It won¡¯t take more than a few decades.¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai speak with such certainty, Wenren Xuewei and Chai Lun didn¡¯t press further.


    After seeing them off, Chen Mobai returned to Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°So, what¡¯s your next plan?¡±


    In the office of Building One, the master and disciple were chatting over tea with satisfaction.


    ¡°I kind of want to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    Facing Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai saw no need to hide anything, so he gave an honest answer.


    ¡°I approve of this. Though I hate to admit it, the fact is that Repairing Heaven does indeed possess the most substantial influence among all Immortal Sects. If you went there to pack some gold, it would make your future endeavors within the system much easier.¡±


    Among the high-ranking cultivators of the Immortal Sect, nearly half have backgrounds related to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Their Divinity Transformation Qian Xing¡­


    The Xianwu Hall Master and Zhengfa Hall Master¡­


    Moreover, the current principals of Taiyuan Academy, Primordial Elemental Academy, and the Astral Observation Academy, Yuan Xu, Qing Ping, and Mei Hua respectively, have all studied at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    If Chen Mobai had a background in the Repairing Heaven Institute, the starting point of his future career could be very high, and he might even have a real chance of becoming one of the three grand Hall Masters.


    ¡°Besides, if you can learn from the Guidance Book, it would be very helpful for your future breakthroughs and cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng added another point. Among the seven Divine Transformation Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Sect, the Guidance Book, although a Cultivation Technique, was more of a cultivation practice for divine consciousness and mentality. It was compatible with any other Cultivation Technique, and acclaimed as the number one auxiliary divine technique of the Immortal Sect.


    After listening, Chen Mobai recalled the scene of his battle with Daoist Master Lou Fengcheng at the Jumang Daoist Academy. Although both of them were no match for him, under a situation of inevitable defeat, they almost probed all his cards.


    That mode of fighting with the purest rationality, having entirely forgotten himself, had left a deep impression on Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m going to apply to Principal Fu Borong.¡±


    After discussing with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai decided where to go after graduation.


    Since he had completed the No-Phase Puppet and secured the first place in the graduation project, he didn¡¯t need to stay at the Daoist Academy for the next six months.


    After leaving Building One, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then gave Yan Bingxuan a call.


    [After graduating, I plan on studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute for five years.]


    [Okay, let me apply right away.]


    After saying these words, the two fell silent.


    Yan Bingxuan was a person of few words in the first place, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how to handle his feelings for her. A few more words of small talk later, they hung up.


    Would she succeed in getting into Repairing Heaven?


    Chen Mobai thought it over and found that he kind of hoped she would fail, just so he wouldn¡¯t have to face her.


    Yet on scrutinizing his feelings, he found that he wanted her to succeed.


    He wanted to recreate their school memories.


    During high school, the two of them only really came into contact with each other during the last month before the National College Entrance Examination. Yet, even those few interactions were rare and beautiful memories for Chen Mobai.


    If they spent five years at the Repairing Heaven Institute, would these memories become even more beautiful?


    Thinking like this, a smile appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s lips.


    Right then, he suddenly sensed his Pure Yang Spiritual Power inside his Dantian Qi Sea, influenced by his emotions, beginning to condense and elevate rapidly.


    It was time to break through!


    Chen Mobai realized this and smiled slightly.


    He teleported from his wooden house to Xiao Nanshan and took out an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to start absorbing and refining spiritual energy.


    At the same time, the nature¡¯s spiritual energy on the mountain top began to converge towards the wooden house, forming a spectacular and radiant cloud of light.

    ¡°What¡¯s this¡­?¡±


    Seeing this spectacle, Xue Ting, who had been harvesting Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming at the foot of the mountain, was stunned.


    ¡°I think our teacher¡¯s cultivation must have made a breakthrough.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was relatively nonchalant about it. He had already witnessed a more extravagant scene when Chen Mobai had consumed a set of tree fruits of longevity.

 Chapter 742 - Chapter 742: Chapter 436 Battle Begins_3

    Chapter 742: Chapter 436 Battle Begins_3


    ¡°Uncle Chen is indeed a true genius.¡±


    Xue Ting had also witnessed the demeanor of Lan Lingping during her cultivation. But compared to Chen Mobai, both the amount of spiritual energy and the momentum fell short.


    She couldn¡¯t help but sigh internally when she realized that Chen Mobai was still merely a young man in his thirties, while Lan Lingping was already over a hundred years old.


    ¡°It¡¯s also a coincidence. Just before your departure, you can bid farewell to the master.¡±


    Xue Ting had been studying here at Xiao Nanshan for more than half a year, and she had completed a full cycle of fire spirit rice cultivation with Zhuo Ming.


    The harvested fire spirit rice was to be sold to the Snow-blowing Palace. It was just in time to be delivered when Xue Ting left.


    Originally, she thought she might not be able to say goodbye to Chen Mobai before she left. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that his cultivation level has broken through, and he should be leaving his seclusion soon.


    The top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai opened his clear eyes, put the spiritual stones transformed into spiritual extracts from his palm into his storage bag, and happily felt the immense pure yang spiritual power in his Dantian.


    Finally, he reached the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the delay in creating the No-Form Puppet, he might have made a breakthrough a month earlier. But all¡¯s well now.


    Reaching the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment before graduation was a significant accomplishment in the thousands of years of history at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After self-assessment, although he wasn¡¯t qualified for divinity transformation, at least he wasn¡¯t worse than the trio of Ling Dao Shi, Taishi Shu and Zong Zi.


    Considering only the Pure Yang Scroll cultivation level, Chen Mobai could proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with those three as the four chief disciples without feeling inferior.


    What¡¯s next is to strive further, hoping to equal Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi, and to open the Golden Core domain when he reaches the perfection of Foundation Establishment.


    With full of ambition, Chen Mobai stood up and opened the Cloud Mist Array.


    Soon, Zhuo Ming and Xue Ting walked up from the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Greetings to Master!¡±


    ¡°Greetings to Uncle Chen!¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, indicating them to rise.


    In a short while, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan also arrived. The former had to handle the sale of Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace, so he had also been in Xiao Nanshan recently.


    ¡°Wen Bo, I will trouble you to escort niece Xue Ting back.¡±


    After being reminded by Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai remembered that this female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace was leaving. He touched his storage bag and took out a Purple Fire Sword Talisman.


    ¡°You have worked hard in Xiao Nanshan for the past half year. This sword talisman is a gift. It can save your life in a critical moment.¡±


    ¡°This is too precious, I dare not accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai was generous, but Xue Ting knew the rules. She was very grateful for her time in Xiao Nanshan for the past half year and didn¡¯t dare to accept a rank-2 talisman.


    ¡°Take it. It¡¯s just something I drew by myself. It¡¯s not worth a few spirit stones.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai said this, Xue Ting knew that the ¡°Purple Fire Sword Talisman¡± was a powerful and precious talisman famous in the Divine Wood Sect. It could critically wound a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage without preparation.


    Only after repeatedly declining, Xue Ting finally reached out her trembling hands, took the rank-2 talisman from Chen Mobai with an excited face.


    ¡°This is how to use it. However, you need to slightly transform your Ice Spirit Power to activate it.¡±


    Chen Mobai taught her once. Xue Ting¡¯s comprehension ability was better than he thought, and she remembered and understood it immediately.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, this half year is the most relaxing time since I started cultivating.¡±


    Before descending the mountain, Xue Ting saluted Chen Mobai again with an excited expression.


    ¡°See you again if it¡¯s meant to be.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and said this.


    In his mind, this Qi cultivation female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace is just a small segment in his long life.


    After selling the new batch of Fire Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai added another 150 intermediate-grade spirit stones to his account.


    He, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan began to prepare for the planting of Fire Spirit Rice for the second half of the year. Meanwhile, they didn¡¯t forget to check on the Green Jade Spirit Rice they planted at the beginning of last year.


    ¡°The crops grow well with plenty of spiritual energy.¡±


    Seeing the tender green seedlings that had begun to sprout, Chen Mobai can¡¯t help but feel pleased.


    In the immortal sect, due to the lack of spiritual energy, many of the grade-2 spirit rice needed to be stored after maturing. They needed to seal the Spirit Field and wait for the same amount of years before they can be planted again.


    But here in the Tianhe Realm, there¡¯s no such concern.


    After checking the fifty acres of Spirit Field, Chen Mobai and his two disciples started cooking outside again. He didn¡¯t realize that they were one person short compared to the last time.


    ¡°By the way, Xuan, run a quick errand to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later. Last time, the sect leader promised me that he would put three Green Wood Evil on the shelves. I was too busy with my cultivation that I forgot to go and exchange them. You¡¯ll have to trouble yourself.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan obediently took the sect¡¯s nameplate that Chen Mobai handed to her. In the afternoon, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming continued to inspect the thousand acres of Spirit Field, while she went to run some errands.


    However, when Luo Yixuan returned in the evening, she brought back the sect leader¡¯s order.


    On the border of Lei Nation, the Divine Wood Sect and the Mountain Shaker Peak have already taken their stance in the battle.


    Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian assembled all the cultivators from the aristocratic families of Lei Nation and the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, as well as loose cultivators recruited from other countries. In total, they gathered an army of three thousand cultivators and invaded the territory of Rock Country.


    However, Ji Dingjin was not someone who could be easily defeated. Although the number of his cultivators was less than that of the Divine Wood Sect, all of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s body cultivators were experts in magical duels. Plus, they didn¡¯t hesitate to recruit many rogue cultivators with spirit stones. They managed to hold off the large cultivator army of the Divine Wood Sect on the front battlefield at the border.


    Nows, both sides have entered a phase of mutual killing and consumption. Each moment, there were cultivators dying or getting injured on the border between Lei Nation and Rock Country.


    The whole Eastern Wilderness had all eyes on them, waiting for the Core Formation Elders from both sects to make their moves.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that Fu Laozu had a puppet body hidden near the battlefield to guard against possible Core Formation Level opponents from the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    The order from Chu Zuoshu was for Chen Mobai to prepare.


    The Divine Wood Sect was now gathering the second batch of cultivator army. In addition to the disciples of the sect, there were also the loose cultivators and the aristocratic families within the territory of their four countries. Just like the Green Light Island defending against the demonic beasts attack, they distributed spirit stones daily.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There must be loose cultivators where heavy reward lies.


    Currently, the Divine Wood Sect had recruited more than two hundred loose cultivators. However, the situation with the aristocratic families was a little more complicated. Despite Chu Zuoshu¡¯s recruitment order, the response was sparse.


    The six major aristocratic families in Jian Country barely assembled sixty people, and most of them were only at the second or third level in Qi cultivation.


    Since the main general of the second batch of cultivator army was Chen Mobai, and he was also the town guard of Jian Country, Chu Zuoshu wanted him to pay a visit and try to gather a hundred people.

 Chapter 743 - Chapter 743: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_1

    Chapter 743: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_1


    Jian Country originally had seven great Immortal Cultivation families, but the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain had already been expelled because of the murder of Chen Mobai.


    However, when Yuan Hongyuan carried out this act, he naturally considered the possibility of failure. Therefore, the core members of the Yuan family had already escaped beyond the influence of the Divine Wood Sect, leaving behind mostly cannon fodder.


    These cannon fodders, who were previously sent to mine by the Divine Wood Sect, have now been sent to the front line.


    In addition to these great Immortal Cultivation families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators in charge, Jian Country also has several second and third-rate small families.


    The Divine Wood Sect plans to annihilate Mountain Shaker Peak this time, so it has gradually mobilized the power of the entire sect within its sphere of influence.


    While they were polite towards the great Immortal Cultivation families, they didn¡¯t spare the small families and minor sects, drafting directly a tenth of their forces.


    The lower one¡¯s position, the less choice one had.


    The second batch of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect plans to send a thousand people to reinforce their troops. The sect conscripted five hundred disciples, and the remaining five hundred needed to be drafted externally.


    This part of the manpower consisted of Loose Cultivators, small families, and minor sects.


    Among them, the recruitment of Loose Cultivators had already reached its target. Small families and minor sects obediently sent their best disciples, hoping they could make contributions in this war between the two sects, exchange for resources from the Divine Wood Sect, or even Foundation Building Pills.


    The only remaining six major families, due to their close relationship with the sect and the ability to obtain Foundation Building Pills from the trading association, were reluctant to participate in this event.


    Each only sent ten people symbolically to show their compliance with the orders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Upon receiving the order from the sect leader, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say a word. He took Luo Yixuan and went to each major market to speak with the heads of the families.


    Among them, the Guo family, which relied on the Five Elements Sect, had already relocated some of their cultivators. But after Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, they gritted their teeth and sent another ten people.


    One of them was a Qi Cultivation ninth level elder from the Guo family who didn¡¯t have much time left. He personally led the team, giving sufficient face to Chen Mobai and the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai was very appreciative of this.


    The rest, Jade Pot Fu family, Heavenly Pillar Wang family, Azure Crane Liang family, Snow Peak Bai family, and Mirage Wave Luo family seemed to have prepared in advance. After Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, they all agreed to send five more people.


    ¡°The sect¡¯s intention is for your six families to have a hundred people in total. The second elder of the Guo family personally leads a team of twenty cultivators. If each of your five families sends fifteen, we¡¯ll still be short by five. How about one of you send one more person?¡±


    Chen Mobai gathered the heads of the six major families in Jian Country and calmly put forward his request.


    Even though Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t make a mandatory request, and even if a few people were missing, he wouldn¡¯t say anything, but Chen Mobai still wanted to do his best.


    ¡°Five Qi Practitioners can¡¯t decide the victory on the battlefield.¡±


    The head of the Luo family, Luo Jushan, spoke diplomatically, implying that Chen Mobai should turn a blind eye and be satisfied with what he had.


    ¡°Exactly, with the renowned Chen Town Guard leading the team this time, our opponents will surely retreat in fear. The people we sent are merely there to support. Whether there¡¯s one more or one less makes no difference.¡±


    Wang Gongdao from the Wang family also spoke. The others, like Fu Xiuzuo, also sided with him. They were polite to Chen Mobai, but they were reluctant to send another person.


    ¡°In that case, in half a month, have the people from your families gather at Giant Tree Ridge, and each family¡¯s representative can coordinate with Xuan.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. He nodded calmly, then left with Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Master, they really don¡¯t know their manners. They are not even willing to send one more person¡­¡±


    On the way back, Luo Yixuan seemed a bit resentful. However, Chen Mobai just smiled and shook his head.


    ¡°Xuan, they¡¯re not unwilling. You see, as soon as I showed up, they immediately sent another five cultivators. As they said, the number of low-ranked Qi Practitioners can¡¯t determine the victory on the battlefield. But they did this to show that they have a say in the matter, so they fought for one more cultivator as a bargaining chip.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect dominates four countries, and although the six major families in Jian Country also have Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they definitely don¡¯t dare to resist, so after the edict was issued, they all obediently sent their clan cultivators.


    But they also wanted to show they were different from the minor families and minor sects, so they purposely fell short by one.


    This is both to show the other Immortal Cultivation forces in Jian Country their influence and to show their family that even when facing the Divine Wood Sect, they have the ability to negotiate, cultivating a sense of pride among the clan cultivators.


    Luo Yixuan finally understood the subtleties after Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation.


    ¡°But they still didn¡¯t give you face, Master.¡±


    But even after understanding, Luo Yixuan was still a bit indignant.

    ¡°Wen Bo¡¯s South Mountain Shop is able to spread throughout Jian Country, and they have helped a lot, so I can¡¯t say much. Moreover, they at least left me some face in responding to the sect leader and sent more manpower.¡±


    Since he was a child, Chen Mobai heard from his grandfather that the world is not so clear-cut as some places and some things need to be left with some room for manoeuvre.


    ¡°Master, I understand now.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was a very clever person. Once Chen Mobai explained, she understood immediately.

 Chapter 744 - Chapter 744: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_2

    Chapter 744: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_2


    However, deep inside, he was thinking that if he ever had the chance, he would properly deal with these five families on behalf of his master.


    Upon returning to Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai naturally went first to Shenmu Hall to report to the sect leader.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯ve worked hard. Approximately a month from now, the second batch of cultivator troops should be able to assemble. We can dispatch these people from the sect, which ones do you need?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t really care about the number of people the six major Immortal Cultivation clans of Jian Country had dispatched; he handed a list to Chen Mobai.


    The cultivator army would certainly not only send one Foundation Establishment elder like Chen Mobai; the determination of the Divine Wood Sect this time was great, approximately one third of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect would be sent to the frontline battlefield.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first time leading the army as the main general, which made his heart somewhat excited.


    However, his understanding of commanding a large cultivator army was far beyond anyone on the Eastern Wilderness side.


    Because on the Immortal Gate side, they possessed a mature tactical system for this domain.


    Countless experiences of wars of expansion, coupled with various modern magic artifact communications, enabled the Immortal Gate to exert the collective power in wars. Even when they were at a disadvantage in top-ranked combat strength, they could still press ahead and always achieve victory in wars.


    ¡°Are there any Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Artifact Refining, Rune Manufacturing, Formation, or Puppetry departments?¡±


    Chen Mobai was not very familiar with the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect. Although there were familiar people like Mu Yuan, Yan Jinye, and Yu Lian on the list, it was unbearable for him to take his good friends to the battlefield. So, he let Chu Zuoshu recommend some needed people to him.


    Although he hadn¡¯t systematically learned about warfare at the Daoist Academy, he knew that the first priority in Immortal Gate warfare was communication.


    Only by ensuring smooth communication between the top and bottom could one command the entire army as if it were an extension of his own limbs, thus forming various battle arrays, and creating zones that even Core Formation cultivators dared not easily invade.


    Therefore, the first thing Chen Mobai thought of was to make a simple communication device to ensure he could contact his subordinate cultivator generals at any time.


    For this, he needed experts in puppetry, artifact refining, and rune manufacturing to help him do the grunt work.


    ¡°These few should meet your requirements.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s choice of departments was a bit strange with the puppetry department, but Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and designated four people on the list according to his requirements.


    Then Chu Zuoshu selected another four, making a total of nine Foundation Establishment cultivators including Chen Mobai.


    Among them, Mu Yuan and Yu Lian were selected by Chu Zuoshu.


    Meng Hong¡¯s injuries from his Core Formation failure had largely healed, and not wanting his disciple to stick around him all the time, he sent him away.


    Having nothing to do, Mu Yuan applied to go to the front line to toughen himself up.


    After Chu Zuoshu consulted with Meng Hong, he nodded in agreement.


    Yu Lian, on the other hand, was chosen because he had left a deep impression on Chu Zuoshu.


    When Chen Mobai first came to the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu was not yet the sect leader. Through the matter of Yu Lian, Chen Mobai was regarded by Chu Zuoshu as a core disciple.


    After Yu Lian established his foundation, he was sent to guard the mines in Lonely Spirit Ridge for three years.


    Chu Zuoshu wanted to completely include him in the Divine Wood Sect, so he let Chen Mobai lead him to see blood on the frontline battlefield first, with the hope that he could kill more cultivators from the Shake Mountain. If he could achieve merit, it would be easier to promote him in the future without any gossip within the sect.


    Besides these two, there are also two Inspection Envoys from the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen.


    Among them, Chen Zhenwu was one of the rotating elders of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He was the one who received Chen Mobai last time when he exchanged for the Green Wood Evil.


    As for Liang Lingzhen, he originates from the Qinghong Liang Family of Jian Country.


    Both of them fought on the frontlines with Chu Zuoshu and Chen Mobai last time. They had a certain understanding of each other and could be considered as being from the same faction.


    With these people assigned by Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai could at least command them.


    In a team, as long as half of the members obey orders, the rest will go along with the flow.


    ¡°How¡¯s Elder Fu¡¯s puppet refining going?¡±


    After discussing the matters of the cultivator army, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu about the matter of the Purple Sun Puppet.


    If Fu Zongjue could succeed in refining it, the Divine Wood Sect would have an absolute advantage in the top-ranked combat strength.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about this matter, but An Jinghui has been running around collecting materials for the past year. He should be in the throes of intense manufacture work now, I presume.¡±


    As the head of the Puppetry Department and a disciple of Fu Zongjue, An Jinghui had received the true transmission of the puppetry technique from this elder. By observing his whereabouts, sect leader Chu Zuoshu could roughly deduce the situation.


    They chatted for a while before the chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect started appearing one by one.

    The first to arrive was Mu Yuan, followed by Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen. Yu Lian was still guarding the mines at Lonely Spirit Ridge. After the order was sent out from here, it would probably take a few days for him to return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    The remaining four were Yuan Feihu from the Artifact Refining Department, Hong Lingqin from the Rune Manufacturing Department, Zuo Hongqiu from the Formation Department, and Su Wanshi from the Puppetry Department, all of whom were chosen in accordance with Chen Mobai¡¯s requirements.


    ¡°The matter is as follows, although Brother Chen is young, in the Eastern Wasteland, it has always been the one with the higher cultivation level who is deemed superior. This time, he will lead the team for the mission,¡± said Chu Zuoshu, the sect leader, giving support to Chen Mobai.


    Among those present, most of them recognized and admired Chen Mobai. They knew that he had broken through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment two years earlier and had also developed into a rare genius of Sword Sha. Whether it was cultivation level or combat power, he was ahead of them all.

 Chapter 745 - Chapter 745: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_3

    Chapter 745: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_3


    In the Eastern Wilderness, power determines who has the final say.


    Aside from Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who were both engrossed in their cultivation on their respective Spirit Mountains and were not adept at social interactions, everyone had doubts about the overly ambitious and young Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Chen, why don¡¯t you add a few words?¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, he gave the stage to Chen Mobai, who was standing next to him. The latter nodded and took out a blueprint from his storage bag.


    This was the oldest model of a cell phone he had modified from the Immortal Sect; it utilized a spherical magic artifact as the satellite core. It could support about fifty cell phones for real-time communication.


    ¡°This magic artifact is known as the Heavenly Communication Device. I recently obtained it as one of my rewards in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. It allows for communication anytime and anywhere within a certain range.¡±


    ¡°In a war between sects, it is essentially a collision between battle arrays. The more cultivators there are, the more powerful the battle array. However, the more people there are, the more complex communication becomes. Misunderstandings in the top-down communication could interfere with the operation of the battle array, preventing it from fully displaying its power. The immortal sect of antiquity, the Eternal Dao Sect, which was known as the greatest sect, had this Heavenly Communication Device.¡±


    ¡°The principle behind this device is very simple, but it requires the collaborative efforts of experts in artifact refining, talisman making, and puppet creation to be made. By choosing you, brothers and sisters, the sect leader has shown his trust in you and hopes that you will be able to create it in the shortest possible time.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, the faces of the people present were a bit bewildered.


    In the Tianhe Realm, battle arrays formed by cultivators are very powerful. This they knew well. Generally, the best results are achieved through long-term practice combined with the same cultivation technique.


    They saw communication as a secondary issue.


    After all, the battlefield is only so large, and the speed of divine sense communication among Foundation Establishment cultivators is not slow.


    The key to a powerful battle array is to intensify the training of loose cultivators and disciples from the great clans, and mold these disparate parts into a cohesive whole.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, what is the effective coverage range of this Heavenly Communication Device?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, as the sect leader, saw the wide-reaching possibilities of this magic artifact. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction, his eyes lit up.


    ¡°If a fully-functional Heavenly Communication Device is created, it should be able to provide signal coverage for a hundred miles around.¡±


    That is to say, it would cover the entire scope of Divine Wood City, and it could more than cover the entire battlefield.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, if only it could cover the entire Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head regretfully. Given that Giant Tree Ridge spans over tens of thousands of acres, and the sect¡¯s disciples are scattered across various sites, it usually takes half a day for a message talisman to reach a Foundation Establishment elder and for them to respond.


    Sometimes when an elder is in seclusion, the message talisman would simply be stuck at the door and wouldn¡¯t return, wasting a lot of time.


    If they had this Heavenly Communication Device, and each Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect had a cell phone, they could at least achieve instant communication.


    If there was no response, it would indicate that the person was in seclusion and Chu Zuoshu would not need to wait any longer.


    ¡°Just make more Heavenly Communication Devices.¡±


    Chen Mobai suggested a bright idea but what Chu Zuoshu did not know was that Chen Mobai was considering putting a satellite above the Eastern Wilderness in the future, connecting the entire area of the Divine Wood Sect and enabling real-time communication.


    Unfortunately, even the most basic satellite blueprints in the Immortal Sect were of Rank-4. Even if Chen Mobai could download them, he would not understand.


    ¡°Brother Chen, guide them to make one first so I can check the effect.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu became interested and personally called Luo Xue¡¯er, the hall master of Reward Virtue Hall, to prepare two sets of materials for crafting the Heavenly Communication Device on behalf of the sect.


    The Heavenly Communication Device is one of the more simple Rank-2 magic artifacts in the Immortal Sect. Although Chen Mobai was not an artifact refiner, he understood its principles.


    The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect might not understand the principles, but they could follow instructions. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yuan Feihu from the artifact refining division shaped the metal into rectangular shells.


    Chen Mobai also took out his talisman brush and talisman paper, manually drawing two sets of Message Talismans, Identical Seal Talismans, and Word-to-Sound Conversion Talismans.


    The ¡°Message Talisman¡± is the most commonly used talisman for communication in the Divine Wood Sect and indeed, throughout the Eastern Wilderness. It is used to record text content.


    The ¡°Identical Seal Talisman¡± is a talisman that copies patterns and was originally used for copying books.


    The ¡°Word-to-Sound Conversion Talisman¡± is an unusual talisman that could convert text to voice and vice versa. It was originally created by a married pair of deaf and blind talisman makers for their communication.


    These three types of talismans can form the most basic functions of a cell phone.


    Chen Mobai then took out a few rectangular pieces of Green Yang Spiritual Wood that could be held in one hand and crafted a simple sound vibration writing puppet. He then encased it in a metal shell, inserted the three types of talismans that he had drawn, and a simple cell phone was completed.

    ¡°Sect Leader, you take this.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed one of the Green Yang Spiritual Wood phones to Chu Zuoshu. After receiving it, Chu Zuoshu looked at the three buttons on it with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°I¡¯ll step outside the hall. When the green button lights up, Sect Leader, press it to connect¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai briefly introduced the functions of receiving calls, he left Shenmu Hall and even went a long way off to make sure his conversation wouldn¡¯t be overheard. Then, he began to dial.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 746 - Chapter 746: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_4

    Chapter 746: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_4


    The three talismans inside were activated instantly, converting his spoken words into text through the Word-to-Sound Conversion Talisman. Then, the writing puppet started to inscribe these words on the Message Talisman. Subsequently, the Identical Seal Talisman synchronized these textual contents to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s phone. Thereafter, through the reverse process, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s phone converted those texts back into speech.


    So, Chen Mobai¡¯s words echoed from the Green Yang Spiritual Wood phone.


    Witnessing this miraculous scene, everyone in Shenmu Hall was shocked.


    Just three Rank-1 talismans and a small puppet managed to create an effect comparable to a Rank-3 Mirage Scribing Talisman!


    The Mirage Scribing Talisman was the talisman Chu Zuoshu had used to report to the two elders, creating illusory images containing a strand of a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense. It was only given to direct-line disciples.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, hurry, give me another set of phone talismans.¡±


    After Chen Mobai returned, Chu Zuoshu cherished the phone, reluctant to put it down. It was just a pity that after a single call, the three talismans had burned to ashes. He needed to insert three more to make another call.


    To Chen Mobai, drawing Rank-1 talismans was as simple as writing words.


    He completed it with ease, his smooth strokes and techniques leaving Hong Lingqin from the talisman-making department amazed.


    ¡°Who would have thought Junior Brother Chen¡¯s talent in talisman making is so exquisite.¡±


    Talisman Masters could gauge one¡¯s level by watching their techniques. Hong Lingqin felt inferior and finally understood why the sect leader chose this young man as the chief envoy.


    ¡°The direct connection distance between the phones cannot exceed one kilometer. However, if the Heavenly Communication Device acts as a relay, the range can be extended to around a hundred kilometers.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Chu Zuoshu finally understood why he wanted to refine the Heavenly Communication Device.


    ¡°Full cooperation is needed to get the Heavenly Communication Device ready before the second batch of cultivators go on campaign.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu gave Luo Xue¡¯er the command and she immediately nodded in agreement.


    Meanwhile Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who initially had doubts about Chen Mobai, showed their respect after this event.


    The working principle of the Heavenly Communication Device itself is very simple. Even without Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, the three foundation establishment cultivators could easily finish the task.


    With the strength of the entire sect behind them, even moving mountains became easy. Within three days, the first Heavenly Communication Device was created.


    After inspecting, Chen Mobai suggested a few modifications.


    While the Artifact Refining Department was busily working on refining the second Heavenly Communication Device, Yu Lian had returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Pay my respects to Senior Brother Chen.¡±


    Upon returning, Yu Lian first came to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, our sect is about to face Shake Mountain in battle. You and I will be part of the second batch of support cultivators going to the border battlefield, prepare well for it.¡±


    ¡°Yes, elder brother!¡±


    Yu Lian, being a man of few words, nodded after hearing this, inquired about departure time, and then disappeared into the courtyard.


    Half a month passed quickly.


    ¡°Ming, you have your work cut out for you here. I¡¯m leading Xuan to make contributions outside.¡±


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, after Chen Mobai and his two disciples had finished sowing the last field, he patted Zhuo Ming¡¯s hat-covered head and said this.


    ¡°Master, I want to go with you next time.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, unexpectedly, volunteered for battle.


    ¡°Everyone has their strengths. It would be a waste if you went to the battlefield.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew ever since Zhuo Ming became his disciple and was shielded, she had never been on any battlefield. There were some in the sect who gossiped about her, but he believed that Zhuo Ming, farming in the rear, contributed more than any True Disciple on the battlefield.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister, I will kill a few more cultivators to make up for your share.¡±


    Luo Yixuan at the side said something that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± carried the master and his disciple into the sky. Zhuo Ming watched their departing figures and quietly resolved to practice hard, hoping to follow her master to the battlefield one day.

 Chapter 747 - Chapter 747: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Soldier_1

    Chapter 747: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Soldier_1


    After bidding farewell to Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan, Zhuo Ming planned to take a look at the seedlings in the spirit field. However, she felt her spiritual power in her Qi Sea begin to flow vigorously due to heightened morale.


    With this blessing in her heart, she went to the hillside of Xiao Nanshan. After burning a stick of Mind Incense on the ground in front of her and holding a Spirit Stone in her hand, she began to meditate with her eyes closed.


    The Spirit Vein level of the Spirit Mountain where Chen Mobai practices is Rank-3 of intermediate grade. Amplified by the Spirit Gathering Array, the wooden house on the mountain top could even be raised to Rank-3 of upper grade in a short time.


    Though the spiritual energy here at the hillside is merely Rank-2 of upper grade, it is more than enough for Zhuo Ming, a Qi Practitioner.


    Pure spiritual energy poured into Zhuo Ming¡¯s mouth and nose, which she absorbed and refined by using Mother Earth Cultivation.


    The lower-grade Spirit Stone in her hand began to dim slowly, but her Divine Sense was already clouded, nearly merging into the mountain beneath her feet. She seemed to feel the changing seasons this piece of land had gone through, and the small but tenacious life within the earth¡­


    A day and a night passed.


    Suddenly, a bright red flower blossomed on the lawn next to where Zhuo Ming was sitting. Amidst the surrounding greenery, it was exceptionally eye-catching.


    In no time, another small yellow flower also started to bloom.


    Like a signal, instantly, other small white flowers, blue flowers, and so forth, broke through the ground one after another and bloomed beside Zhuo Ming.


    The colors were dazzling, as if everything was growing under the beautiful sunshine of spring.


    Among the clusters of flowers, Zhuo Ming slowly opened her plain but vibrant eyes.


    She exhaled gently, and in an instant, the colorful flower buds around her burst into full bloom, vying for her admiration.


    However, Zhuo Ming was staring stupefiedly at her surroundings, wreathed in flowers. ¡°Where did these flowers come from?¡± She brooded.


    ¡°Is it a side effect of Mother Earth Cultivation advancing to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation?¡±


    ¡°The Cultivation Technique didn¡¯t mention this, did it?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, with a puzzled face, stood up and looked at the vibrant array of flowers at the spot where she was meditating. She noted it down in a small book, planning to ask her master about it at the end of the year.


    But immediately, a trace of excitement appeared on Zhuo Ming¡¯s face.


    She had reached the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.


    When she was in Southstream Market, she never would have thought that she would achieve such a feat.


    If she performed well in the Magic Duel, she might even stand a chance to receive the Foundation Building Pill from the sect in three years¡¯ time.


    ¡°All of this is because I have my master as my support. I will not let him down.¡±


    Thinking this, Zhuo Ming bowed towards the peak of Xiao Nanshan. After that, she collected the ashes of the burnt Mind Incense, and went down the hill to patrol her 60 acres of Spirit Field.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t know that his second disciple had naturally advanced to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.


    He was leading the second batch of Cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect, driving nine Floating Airships, soaring swiftly through the sky to support the border of Lei Nation.


    The sect¡¯s Floating Airships also were Rank-2 Magic Artifacts which futured its full power when operated by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    When nine Floating Airships combine, they can set up a simple 3¡Á3 Battle Array.


    Three Floating Airships form a triangle, and the triangles form another triangle, and through which the spiritual energy flows freely from one Array Plate to the next, forming a defense barrier called ¡°Flying Rainbow Light.¡±


    However, to form the 3¡Á3 Battle Array, the Cultivators on the Floating Airships need to inject spiritual power, and its power is highest when their minds are united.


    As soon as the Heavenly Communication Device was refined, Chen Mobai began to experiment.


    The nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect each drove a Floating Airship. They mixed up the original five hundred Qi Practitioners, led them along with the recruited Loose Cultivators, disciples of families, etc, and began to practice the 3¡Á3 Battle Array.


    At first, it was a total mess.


    After all, Loose Cultivators are known for being solitary and not trusting anyone.


    At this point, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t play Mr. Nice Guy. He and the other eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood on the top level of the Floating Airship, their Divine Sense sweeping over every uncooperative Loose Cultivator coldly.


    ¡°Follow whatever I say. If you¡¯re thinking about going against my Divine Wood Sect, remember that my sword doesn¡¯t show mercy.¡±


    With these words and the strong pressure from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the usually noisy Loose Cultivators immediately went silent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it¡¯s different from the Immortal Cultivator world. If you piss off a Cultivator from a big sect, killing you would be met with cheers.


    Under the suppression of the nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the previously sluggish 3¡Á3 Battle Array began to run smoothly.


    Traces of light red clouds glowed on the exterior of each Floating Airship, like a red cloud carrying the ship, traveling through the sky. As the Qi Practitioners poured their spiritual power into the Floating Airships, the Flying Rainbow Light spread wider and wider.


    Gradually, the nine Floating Airships connected into a patch, forming a large burning cloud. The tremendous scene of a sky on fire streaked across the clearing, surging toward the collapsing earth like a tumultuous tidal wave.

 Chapter 748 - Chapter 748: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Taoist Soldier_2

    Chapter 748: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Taoist Soldier_2


    Along the way, Chen Mobai began constantly adjusting his army of Cultivators.


    Generally speaking, the command tactics used in large-scale warfare in the Eastern Wilderness are quite primitive.


    For instance, a thousand Cultivators would typically be led by a main general like Chen Mobai and two hundred soldiers, while the remaining eight Foundation Establishment elders each lead a hundred.


    If the main general desires, for example, to use Loose Cultivators as cannon fodder, they may keep their direct subordinates from the Divine Wood Sect and assign colleagues they do not favor to lead the Loose Cultivator family disciples.


    In these allocations, the Cultivators from the large families, smaller factions, and over two hundred Loose Cultivators, depending on their alliance, would be ranked to sacrifice in order as cannon fodder.


    However, Chen Mobai chose to go against the norm, breaking the large army of a thousand into ten teams of a hundred, asking ten True Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect to serve as squadron leaders.


    Under each squadron leader, there was another deputy officer chosen from their respective teams, giving the Loose Cultivator families some say in matters.


    Consequently, the Loose Cultivators who originally had ulterior motives and planned to pocket the daily Spirit Stone subsidies and then bolt during the fight, found themselves feeling uneasy.


    However, the Qi Cultivating realm practitioners from the families and the minor sects were relieved.


    After such a reorganization, at least one Divine Wood Sect disciple and one family disciple loyal to the sect would be near each Loose Cultivator, keeping a tight watch on them.


    Should there be any trace of escape on the battlefield, they¡¯d likely be hacked to death by their comrades first.


    Several Loose Cultivators furrowed their brows in regret at the scene.


    However, once they boarded the floating airship, if they did not want to continue, the standing of the Divine Wood sect in the Eastern Wilderness was not so great; they would probably not mind using these cultivators to make a point.


    [We can only take it one step at a time and try to run away on the battlefield!]


    Thinking this way, many Loose Cultivators, as well as some who were sincere, ambitious, and even planned to join the Divine Wood Sect based on their merit, looked happy.


    These new teams meant that they were bound together with the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, sharing life and death. They were no longer regarded as cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time.


    ¡°Ten years have passed, and he has become so strong, standing so tall.¡±


    In the floating airship driven by Yu Lian, a pair of small-sect siblings looked at Chen Mobai, who stood at the forefront of another airship, and couldn¡¯t help but be filled with emotion.


    They were once grouped with Chen Mobai on Green Light Island, and while he was exceptional back then, they could hardly believe that the once Qi Cultivation Seventh Level practitioner was not only Foundation Establishment realm now but also held high power in Divine Wood Sect, one of the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, and led the thousand-man Cultivator army.


    ¡°I wonder who our team leader will be. It would be good if we could meet someone familiar.¡±


    Luo Lin, with her clear eyebrows and beautiful features, was hopeful, while Shi Pengyi just stood silently next to her.


    After a brief practice led by Chen Mobai, he let everyone rest and began assigning duties.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect was truly committed to this battle, they were not stingy about domain contributions and spirit stones.


    If True Disciples went to war, they could get as much as 10 points a day, and the rest were allocated according to the Qi Cultivating Realm.


    For example, Qi Cultivation Seventh Level initials would receive 7 points a day.


    Chen Mobai estimated that these five hundred sect disciples would require around 2000 points of domain contribution per day, adding costs of talismans, elixirs, etc., it would approximately cost 3000 lower-grade Spirit Stones per day.


    If they fought at the Lei Nation border for a year, the Cultivator army under his command alone would cost the Divine Wood Sect over a million Spirit Stones.


    If you add the recruited Loose Cultivator family disciples, the cost would be nearing two million.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of an old saying in the Cultivation world: cannons roar, and gold pours.


    The first group of three thousand Cultivator army led by Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian had been fighting at the border with the Mountain Shaker Peak for two months now. According to Luo Xue¡¯er, the sect had already used over eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    Of course, the expenditure of the Divine Wood Sect was great, but so was the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s.


    In a conflict between major sects, if the powers are evenly matched, the struggle then hinges on who possesses the deeper resources.


    The question becomes who will be the first to exhaust all resources.


    Chen Mobai had long been contemplating about organizing squads, thus, he requested Chu Zuoshu to assign him ten true disciples this time.


    Apart from his young disciple, Luo Yixuan, the other nine were Li Yixian, Xi Jinghuo, Qi Rui, Qi Hou, Niu Longyuan, Guan Xiaolong, Lian Maozhi, Gu Yan, and Jiang Zongheng.


    Among them, Xi Jinghuo, Qi Rui, and Qi Hou were good friends of Chen Mobai. They had stablised their positions as True Disciples over the years, and they willingly volunteered when they heard that Chen Mobai was leading the troops.


    They were also focusing on the batch of Foundation Building Pills that would be available in three years. Especially Qi Hou, he had not fully paid off the ten thousand contribution points from his previous failure in the Foundation Establishment.


    If the commander was a friend, their safety on the battlefield would be more guaranteed.


    The rest of the true disciples shared a similar attitude, fighting for the contributions needed for the Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Each one of you will lead a battalion of a hundred people. Except for Xuan and Li Yixian, the rest of the eight battalions will be under the command of the eight elders.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pass on orders via mobile phone. The foundation elders and the battalion leaders each get one.¡±


    ¡°Then, split the battalion into ten squads of ten. Ensure my orders are meticulously passed down to each individual.¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained the usage of the mobile phones to the ten true disciples, they were utterly stunned, not knowing such an amazing device existed within the sect.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s not that I have any doubts about your command in warfare, but is it really feasible to do this?¡±


    When the ten true disciples had received their orders and began assembling their teams on the floating airship, Chen Zhenwu from Reward Virtue Hall couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    Normally, loose cultivators were cannon fodder, while family disciples were foot soldiers. However, the disciples of Divine Wood Sect were the most precious and would only fight during the decisive moments.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement treated everyone equally.


    ¡°If the internal factions are not united, I fear our thousand-man army¡¯s power might not even match five hundred sect disciples.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t attended the military lessons of the immortal sect, he was aware of the basic principles.


    Gaining insights into the soldiers¡¯ circumstances, then training them, and finally strengthening them, would be the appropriate steps under the guaranteed wire communication.


    A disunified army wouldn¡¯t be strong.


    Adequate spirit stones in addition to fairness and justice, would be the best foundations to stimulate the enthusiasm of loose cultivators and family disciples.


    A few of the eight foundation elders had reservations about Chen Mobai¡¯s approach, but as he is the commander, none of them strongly objected.


    During the subsequent flight to Lei Nation, Chen Mobai began training the cultivator army step by step.


    Though the space on the floating airship was not vast, there was enough room for everyone. Chen Mobai had Luo Yixuan and the others start practising the Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation.


    This was a secret war array of the Divine Wood Sect. It could pool the strength of the many, gathering everyone¡¯s spiritual power into a massive spiritual power Taoist soldier.


    The more the number, the stronger the Alpha Wood Soldier would be.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of his own Jia Wood Jue he got from the Divine Tree Secret Realm. He could fuse a hundred lower-grade Red Sun Spiritual Woods into a top-ranked Green Yang Spiritual Wood.

    He wasn¡¯t certain whether this Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation evolved from there.


    Since the Jiamu Tao Soldier could only be embodied when the spiritual power of more than a hundred people was gathered, that¡¯s why Chen Mobai divided his army into ten ranks.


    Apparently, a Jiamu Tao Soldier formed by ten thousand Qi practitioners could display the strength of a regular Gold Core Perfection state, and under all-out effort, it could even launch an attack equal to the Nascent Soul state.


    Chen Mobai was looking forward to this.

 Chapter 749 - Chapter 749: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_1

    Chapter 749: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_1


    Above the border of Lei Nation, the two camps of the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak had already set up their battle formations. A dozen-meter-tall, green giant, wielding Wind Thunder, was striking down at a terracotta yellow mountain range.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, within the camp of Mountain Shaker Peak, at the front of a central stone house, Ji Dingjin was respectfully standing by a man and a woman.


    ¡°Alpha Wood Soldiers certainly live up to their reputation. In the past, Hun Yuan led the Five Elements Taoists to dominate the three territories, and they were among the ¡®Seven Unique Outsiders¡¯. They had a great reputation in the East Land. It¡¯s a pity that they went on a doomed path and ended up in the realm of the dead.¡±


    The male cultivator had a handsome and imposing appearance. Adorned in a golden Taoist robe, he was discussing the tactics while pointing at the green giants of the Fixed Mountain Battle Array that were attacking them.


    ¡°The Five Elements Sect has splintered, and the unlimited power of the Five Elements Taoists will never reappear.¡±


    The other individual, a cold, beautiful female cultivator in a golden robe, also commented. Her eyes were of a peculiar sky-blue color, clear and pure like jade.


    ¡°All thanks to the clever tactics of Mr. Zhao from your palace. If it were not for his solitary journey to the Eastern Wilderness sixty years ago, which resulted in the fragmentation of the five veins of the Five Elements Sect after the death of Hun Yuan, this territory would probably still be under their rule.¡±


    Ji Dingjin spoke respectfully. Even after Hun Yuan¡¯s death sixty years ago, the Five Elements Sect had so many Golden Core Cultivators that they could still suppress any other sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If the Five Elements Sect hadn¡¯t split, the Back to Sky Valley would probably still be subordinate to them, serving as their alchemy institute, while Mountain Shaker Peak would just be their labor force for mining.


    By consolidating the power of Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing might have already reached Nascent Soul Formation.


    To prevent the emergence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect after the death of Hun Yuan, and to plunge the Eastern Wilderness back into chaos, a large sect in the Eastern Yi Territory sent a Zhao Clan Golden Core Cultivator to the Eastern Wilderness. Together with Back to Sky Valley, Mountain Shaker Peak, Snow-blowing Palace, Liu Jia Mountain and other sects that had been suppressed by the Five Elements Sect for hundreds of years, they secretly prepared to rebel against them.


    Meanwhile, during the rebellion, the Zhao Clan cultivator didn¡¯t forget to sow discord within the Five Elements Sect.


    Under internal and external pressures, not long after the death of Hun Yuan, the Five Elements Sect, led by Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang, split.


    The two factions of the Five Elements Sect started fighting fiercely, and with the addition of the provocations from other sects in the Eastern Wilderness, the battle lasted for twenty years.


    Although peace was restored later, the once dominant Five Elements Sect declined and no longer held the absolute power to suppress the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Uncle Master Zhao was not ruthless enough. After the ceasefire between the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect plus the Golden Cliff, if you could have led your four sects to attack the weakened Five Elements Sect again, perhaps the Five Elements Sect would no longer exist in the Eastern Wilderness now.¡±


    The man in the golden robe, watching the Alpha Wood Soldiers constantly attacking the Mountain Shaker Peak Battle Array, said something that made Ji Dingjin twitch at the corner of his mouth.


    After the ceasefire between the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect plus the Golden Cliff, Uncle Master Zhao did propose to launch an attack on the weakened veins of the Five Elements Sect with all the four sects under his lead. But the four sects only had a few Golden Core Ancestors, and they feared that even if they won, two or three of their sects would be completely destroyed by the counterattack of the Five Elements Sect.


    After weighing the pros and cons, they all rejected the proposal.


    Mainly because after the Five Elements Sect split, with the absence of an absolute superpower, the situation in the Eastern Wilderness had become balanced to the satisfaction of all the four major sects.


    Everyone was recruiting disciples and growing in their own territories. With sufficient resources, there was no need to enter life and death battles.


    ¡°In the past, our ancestor intended to do so and had persuaded Mr. Nan of Liu Jia Mountain, but unfortunately, the two Golden Core Cultivators of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace were too conservative. But it¡¯s not too late now. As long as your palace gives the order, we, the Mountain Shaker Peak, will definitely respond to all your calls and step on the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Ji Dingjin flattered the man in the golden robe with his words, as if the latter was someone of high status.


    ¡°I¡¯m about to reach the Core Formation, but my Master said my state of mind is not indifferent enough and I could be troubled by a Heart Demon during the Core Formation. Since Ji Zhenshi came to find me, I thought I could just come to Eastern Wilderness and cause a bloodbath to forge my supreme Taoist heart.¡±


    The indifferent and cold words of the man in the golden robe made it seem like there were no cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness whom he deemed worthy of attention. His words exuded arrogance, ignoring everything in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°All the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak are willing to follow your command.¡±


    Upon hearing his words, Ji Dingjin could not hide his joy and casually handed over the jurisdiction over the two thousand cultivators here to the young man in the golden robe.

    ¡°Three hundred disciples of the Dao Palace have laid the formation of Golden Bridge Battle Array, they can take action.¡±


    At this moment, the cold female cultivator in the golden robe spoke. In front of her, there were exactly 300 Qi Practitioners in golden masks and armor, each holding a Golden Halberd, kneeling neatly in a square in front of the man in the golden robe.


    ¡°The Alpha Wood Soldiers will rest for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense after every ten rounds of attack. It¡¯s because of the three thousand cultivators on the opposing side, only one thousand are disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, and if they continue to bombard, these disciples will lose too much Spiritual Power.¡±


    ¡°In a moment, when they open up the Fixed Mountain Battle Array, the other side will definitely think that you are going to counterattack. But relying on their huge number of cultivators, the Divine Wood Sect will definitely not fear and will certainly respond.¡±

 Chapter 750 - Chapter 750: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_2

    Chapter 750: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_2


    ¡°When you¡¯ve killed off half of them, I¡¯ll lead three hundred disciples from the Dao Palace into the battle in formation. More than half of the large army of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect are a disorganized crowd, as long as we slaughter more than three hundred, which is one-tenth, the enemy will surely flee.¡±


    ¡°By then, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect should still be able to maintain their formation, at that time you and I don¡¯t need to care about them, we just need to follow my battle array and chase full-force the fleeing Loose Cultivators and Disciples of various families.¡±


    ¡°After this round of battle, even if the master of the Divine Wood Sect can rally his troops, the number will at most be only half of what they are now. At that time, the number of our cultivators will actually surpass theirs, and the roles will reverse. My Golden Bridge Battle Array is specially designed to break the Alpha Wood Soldiers!¡±


    At this point, cruelty filled the pupil of the golden-robed man, as if he had already seen the scene of him crushing the whole army of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect.


    If he could achieve such a military success, his Iron-Blood Dao Heart would certainly become great. When he returns to the Dao Palace in the future, he would be successful in Core Formation and could even strive for the position of Taoist Child.


    ¡°It is our honour to follow Lord Xuan Qiao.¡±


    After hearing Xuan Qiao¡¯s strategic arrangement, Ji Dingjin was also filled with excitement. He went personally to convey the subsequent counterattack, defeat, and pursuit tactics to each key point¡¯s Foundation Establishment elder in charge of guarding the Fixed Mountain Battle Array.


    Even though he was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, but after this round of running around, he had already used up nearly half an hour.


    The main thing was to make sure that everyone could truly understand the upcoming tactics, to avoid being a liability at this critical moment and miss the opportunity to seize the greatest fruits of war.


    ¡°It¡¯s now!¡±


    After the message was delivered, Ji Dingjin stayed by Xuan Qiao¡¯s side, the woman with sky-blue pupils seemed to be cultivating a kind of Art of Spiritual Eyes. When the Alpha Wood Soldiers began to cease their drums and the spiritual power in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s battle array started to fall off a little, she accurately seized this critical timing.


    ¡°Switch from Fixed Mountain to Shake Mountain, begin the counterattack!¡±


    Ji Dingjin had no doubt, he immediately began to shout loudly. As a Body Refining Cultivator, his shout could basically be heard by everyone.


    The Qi Practitioners, who had already received his orders, immediately began to lead the cultivators under their command, changing the operation of their battle array from the defensive position of holding the mountain to shaking the mountain.


    After a very dull rumble, the earth-yellow mountain range that had been covering their entire camp suddenly flew up and fell heavily on top of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Battle Array, just like a whole mountain falling from the sky.


    But on the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s side, they also had defensive battle array changes. Ten green giants raised their hands, and a huge transparent green leaf emerged out of thin air over their heads.


    The earth-yellow mountains fell and collided with the transparent green leaves, causing an extremely terrifying fluctuation in nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    Waves of white energy, like ripples in the void, swept around from where the two large battle arrays clashed directly. Wherever they passed, it was like a great wind sweeping across, uprooting trees and sending stones flying.


    In the middle of the rumbling noise.


    As the foundation of the Battle Array and the source of spiritual power, thousands of Qi Practitioners all turned pale.


    This direct collision of battle arrays-if not blocked- would leave of all of them dead. Therefore, even the Loose Cultivators opened up their Qi Sea in their Dantian, allowing the two Sect¡¯s Battle Arrays to draw on it.


    ¡°Strange, why would this old turtle dare to come out and fight?¡±


    Within the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp, Xie Yuntian and Zhou Wangshen exchanged confused looks. Even so, this was good news for them.


    After all, they had greater numbers. In the clash of battle arrays, the side that could hold on to the end would definitely be them.


    Without any hesitation, Zhou Wangshen dropped everything and issued orders to all Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators to contest head-on.


    ¡°Not good, what is that!¡±


    But just as he had relayed the commands and returned to Xie Yuntian¡¯s side, the latter suddenly widened his eyes, and let out a scream.


    Zhou Wangshen raised his head to look and his face couldn¡¯t help but reveal shock.


    Only to see in the sky where the mountains and the green leaves were clashing, a golden bright bridge with an imposing atmosphere was built right above the mountains, falling directly onto the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s battle array.


    In front of this golden bridge, the transparent green leaves that could block the mountain, seemed like clothes pierced by a needle, allowing the bridge to penetrate effortlessly.


    After the Golden Bridge pierced the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s War Array, the three hundred golden-armored Qi Practitioners wielding golden halberds became the equivalent of an ultra-sharp wood-cutting knife, killing dozens of the nearby Divine Wood Sect cultivators in an instant.


    Then, as if a perfect defense had formed a gap, the cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak began to charge through the Golden Bridge into the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Battle Array one by one.


    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s the Golden Bridge Battle Array of the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. These bastards finally made their move.¡±


    Upon seeing this, Xie Yuntian swore angrily, then immediately rode his Flying Sword, leading hundreds of elite disciples from the sword training department charging forward.


    As expected of the number one combat department of the Divine Wood Sect¨Cthe moment they entered the battle, they immediately held off the slaughter led by the three hundred disciples from the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. They even began to counterattack, trying to block the hole created by the Golden Bridge.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit beneath me to take you as my first enemy in the Eastern Wilderness, upon looking at your Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ranks, it seems you¡¯re the strongest. So, I guess I don¡¯t have any other choice!¡±


    Just as Xie Yuntian was about to charge into the gap in the battle array riding his Flying Sword, a golden light descended from the sky, stopping his flying sword. Xuan Qiao slowly stepped down from the Golden Bridge with a lonely and helpless tone.


    It seems that he is disappointed for not finding an interesting opponent in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Who comes there!¡±


    Xie Yuntian has a good idea of Xuan Qiao¡¯s identity given his golden robe, but he still asks the question, feigning ignorance.


    ¡°The First Prince of the East Barbarians, call me Xuan Qiao.¡±


    Upon hearing the prefix ¡®Xuan¡¯, Xie Yuntian¡¯s heart sank, and his suspicions were confirmed.


    ¡°Are you opposing my Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    ¡°Opposing? You¡¯re using the wrong word. The Divine Wood Sect is not worthy enough to be my opponent!¡±


    By this time, Xuan Qiao had descended to the bottom of the Golden Bridge. He was like a golden-armored deity descending from the heavens, speaking with scorn yet filled with confidence.


    ¡°Hmph, be not too arrogant, let¡¯s see how you leave here today!¡±


    Xie Yuntian knew at this point it was useless to talk anymore. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he spat out a cyan luminescence, aiming straight for Xuan Qiao standing at the end of the Golden Bridge.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    One golden pearl after another flew out from Xuan Qiao¡¯s palm, forming a golden light curtain. However, under the onslaught of Xie¡¯s cyan luminescence, these curtains kept breaking apart.


    But these golden pearls seemed endless. After Xie Yuntian had shattered twenty-three light curtains using the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, he finally exhausted his power. He turned into a wisp of green smoke which dissipated merely three inches from Xuan Qiao¡¯s face.


    ¡°Oh, you, who are not even in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, have actually cultivated the Sword Sha. I underestimated you!¡±


    Xuan Qiao looked at the Green Flames Sword Slaughter that scattered in front of him. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised but soon wore a look of regret.


    ¡°My Golden Pearl Technique consists of thirty light curtains. You just need to shatter seven more before you can touch me. If you can hurt even one of my hairs, I will spare your Divine Wood Sect today.¡±


    After Xuan Qiao finished speaking, he flicked his right hand andgolden pearls scattered, forming an ocean of golden light around him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Xie Yuntian¡¯s brow tacitly revealed his anger. Privately, though, he ordered Zhou Wangshen to lead a thousand Divine Wood Sect disciples and children of various nobles to retreat, leaving the Loose Cultivators behind as cannon fodder in order to preserve most of their forces to retreat back to the Lei Nation¡¯s Rank-3 defense formation in Fang Market.


    This way, once the second wave of cultivators led by Chen Mobai arrives, they would still have the power to face Shake Mountain Peak once again.


    [Take care, Division Chief Xie!]


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangshen hesitated for only a moment before realizing this was the best strategy. Being a decisive person, he didn¡¯t say a word more and began ordering the various Foundation Establishment elders on the battlefield to retreat.

 Chapter 751 - Chapter 751: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_1

    Chapter 751: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_1


    Xie Yuntian was quite renowned in the Eastern Wilderness. Before Chen Mobai¡¯s rise to fame, he was hailed as the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, even studying under the venerable Elder Mo at Golden Cliff for half a year.


    He was among the few in the Divine Wood Sect who had a chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    He was rather proud in his daily life, believing that throughout the vast Eastern Wilderness, except for a few Core Formation elders, he could dominate the land with the sword in his hand.


    Especially after mastering the Green Flames Sword Slaughter technique, Xie Yuntian¡¯s ego inflated even further.


    The cause of his confidence was none other than Chen Mobai.


    Because after Chen Mobai had mastered Sword Sha, he unveiled his power by going up against five opponents single-handedly¨Ckilling Yuan Hongyuan, the Yinming Messenger, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings, five Foundation Establishment cultivators¨Cgreatly impressing him with the power of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    Then he made an equation.


    Xie Yuntian believed that since Chen Mobai could achieve this much, as someone who had also mastered Sword Sha, he should be considered a high-level expert as well.


    But this pride and confidence started to wane after he came across a chap named Xuan Qiao.


    At this moment, he had already realized that he was no match for his opponent.


    However, to cover for other core disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to retreat, Xie Yuntian fell silent for a moment before his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power violently surged.


    Amid the clanging noise, his Fiery Flying Sword seemed like a bright sun, suddenly breaking free from Xuan Qiao¡¯s golden repression after emitting a blazing light.


    Boom!


    The Flying Sword, like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, carried a wave of flaming Sword Light, slicing through like a meteor rain shower toward Xuan Qiao who was standing proudly on the Golden Bridge.


    At this instant, Xie Yuntian had pushed his cultivation of Red Flame Sword Jue to the utmost limit.


    The green flames from the Sword Light roared like a tidal wave. The vacant space near the Golden Bridge ignited under his sword, the air twisted slightly, and the might was astounding.


    Some unprepared Shake Mountain cultivators rushing down from above were caught in the Sword Light fire rain. Their flesh began to boil in utter shock, screaming as they turned into a mist of blood and ashes.


    Xuan Qiao showed an appreciative look in the face of Xie Yuntian¡¯s earth-shaking sword strike.


    Immediately, he spread his right hand, and pure, vast Spiritual Power surged out. In no time, the golden pearls on his body transformed into layers of even more brilliant, dazzling light barriers.


    When the Fiery Flying Sword burst into the Golden Bead Aura Protection, it was like a meteor shower shattered and erupted, setting the entire sky ablaze.


    As layer after layer of golden light barriers shattered, Xie Yuntian¡¯s face grew paler, but he continued to grit his teeth, controlling his Flying Sword to charge at Xuan Qiao.


    Thick smoke permeated the void, reflecting the view of burning oil, raging flames rolling like a prairie fire. The clear sky turned blood red in the blink of an eye, flames pouring down.


    However, within the boiling sea of fire, a golden glow shone brilliantly, as dazzling as the most stunning gold, unaffected by the fire¡¯s purification.


    Standing unwaveringly at the center, bathing in the sun.


    ¡°Is the gap between the late Foundation Establishment and the Foundation Establishment Perfection really that big?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xie Yuntian¡¯s heart sank. He had only mastered half of the Sword Sha technique, and initially thought he could dominate the Eastern Wilderness, completely undaunted even when facing Ji Dingjin.


    But he hadn¡¯t expected to encounter the successor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    He originally wanted a quick battle and used the Sword Sha straight away, but found he couldn¡¯t break the Golden Bead Aura Protection.


    Now, when he uses his absolute Sword Dao skill, and tries it with a Flying Sword, he still couldn¡¯t do it.


    How should he break this Aura Protection technique?


    Just as Xie Yuntian was considering his next step in the Magic Duel, a golden light suddenly flashed from the flames.


    Xie Yuntian tried to dodge, but his right hand was severed at the shoulder by the knife-like golden light. Feeling the excruciating pain in his shoulder and the massive loss of vital blood, he quickly applied a Renewal Talisman.


    The wound was entangled with golden threads, blocking his severed arm from being reattached.


    Xie Yuntian could only stop his bleeding and then put away his severed arm for later.


    ¡°I needed that. A little activity for the joints.¡±


    At this moment, Xuan Qiao waved his hand, and the blazing flames in the air were torn apart, revealing his dazzling golden figure.


    Seeing that Zhou Wangshen had managed to organize the retreat of the Divine Wood Sect disciples down below, Xie Yuntian didn¡¯t bother with any more discussion with Xuan Qiao. He used his remaining left hand to control his Flying Sword, once again invoking the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Buzzing!


    The Flying Sword echoed clearly, like a flaming dragon rushing toward the Golden Bridge and the cultivators coming down from above.


    Xuan Qiao did not act, simply allowing the Flying Sword to pass his side, dashing and slashing toward the Shake Mountain cultivators behind him.


    This wasn¡¯t because he was willing to let someone die, although he was proud, he wouldn¡¯t gaze upon allied casualties at this moment.


    Another golden light fell onto the Fiery Flying Sword.


    Xie Yuntian¡¯s Rank-2 top-notch Flying Sword was suppressed once again. His Divine Sense and Spiritual Power exploded, trying to free the Flying Sword.


    But a slender hand fell, a jade-like delicate finger gently touched the Flying Sword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this moment, Xie Yuntian felt his connection with the Flying Sword being completely severed.


    He felt as if a piece of his heart had been scooped out, his vision darkening, almost losing control of his body and falling to the ground.


    ¡°Proceed as planned.¡±


    After shearing off one of Xie Yuntian¡¯s arms, Xuan Qiao¡¯s martial sister, Xuan Jinzhi, descended from the Golden Bridge. As effortlessly as breathing, she suppressed the Flying Sword, and, with a wave of her slender hand, commanded the cultivators of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Shake Mountain to chase after the cultivators at the outermost edge of the Shenmu Sect War Array.

 Chapter 752 - Chapter 752 Chapter 440 This is How Sword Sha is Used (8k)_2

    Chapter 752: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_2 Chapter 752: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_2 These were clearly Loose Cultivators, not taken seriously or trusted.


    In the beginning, many still tried to resist, hoping to kill the enemy.


    But as time passed, when Zhou Wangshen, located at the very center, began to lead the Divine Wood Sect disciples in a step-by-step retreat, all the Loose Cultivators, who could no longer see any hope of victory, ceased their attempts to strike at the enemy.


    They guarded themselves, and some of the more quick-witted ones even risked injury to sever their connection with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s War Array, and fled directly.


    At first, there were only a few, but it quickly triggered a chain reaction. In a moment, the outermost battle array completely collapsed.


    ¡°Full retreat!¡±


    Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhou Wangshen no longer concealed his intentions. He was the first to lead his sect disciples in a sprint toward the Lei Nation.


    Not far away was a Fang Market they had operated for a long time. There, a Rank-3 Large Formation was guarded and could hold off for a while, waiting for the sect¡¯s reinforcement.


    ¡°Do you have any last words before you die?¡±


    From mid-air, Xie Yuntian, who had already been completely defeated, looked pale as he stared at the cultivators standing on the Golden Bridge. Despair finally appeared in his eyes.


    It was not that he had never fought with those at Foundation Establishment Perfection. Not only had he practiced with Meng Hongchu from his sect, but he had also fought with Ji Dingjin on this frontier battlefield many times.


    But neither of them had made him feel the despairing gap that seemed insurmountable like the man and woman before his eyes now did.


    [Our Sect is probably facing a disaster!]


    This thought flashed through Xie Yuntian¡¯s mind. The strength of these two, apart from the two elderly ancestors in the Divine Wood Sect, probably no one else could be their opponent.


    Now that the Shake Mountain Peak had received assistance from these two, it was unlikely that Lei Nation could keep it guarded. It depended on whether they could keep the battlefield confined to Yun Country and not affect Jian Country, where the sect was located.


    This way, it was feared that the Sect Leader and the previous Sect Leader, both at the realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection, would have to personally come to the frontlines.


    Although according to Xie Yuntian¡¯s estimation, they would not be able to compete with these two, but at least as cultivators of the same realm, they could block a shot with the help of the Formation.


    This was the best strategy Xie Yuntian could think of before he died.


    As for Chen Mobai, Xie Yuntian thought his strength was about the same as his, maybe even less than his after he had also practiced Swords Sha.


    After all, he was at least a Late Foundation Establishment, while Chen Mobai had just broken through to the Mid Foundation Establishment a few years ago.


    However, Xie Yuntian believed that Chen Mobai had the potential to grow into the same level as the two inheritors of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace standing in front of him. He hoped that the sect could hold out long enough to give him and Hong He and others the time to grow in cultivation, even to the point of Core Formation.


    ¡°You have no last words? Fine, no matter what you say, I won¡¯t remember.¡±


    Seeing that Xie Yuntian had a dead expression on his face but kept silent for a long time, Xuan Qiao thought he was trying to delay time for the retreat of the Divine Wood Sect Disciples, and he decided not waste any more time.


    He raised his right index finger, one beam of golden light lit up, condensed into a golden bead, then transformed into a straight line as thin as a blade. The bead was drawn in the air into a semi-circular arc from Xuan Qiao¡¯s index finger, and fell onto Xie Yuntian¡¯s head very quickly.


    A Rank-2 top-grade Magic Artifact, a shield, flew out, barely blocking the golden light.


    Xuan Jinzhi by Xuan Qiao¡¯s side, her eyes a light turquoise, lowered a hand enveloped in a golden light, and suppressed this Artifact.


    Xie Yuntian used two defensive spells, barely holding on for a few breaths, but then he was driven to a dead end.


    The golden light fells straight down!


    Xie Yuntian¡¯s face turned grim, sensing his scalp had been sliced open, his entire body about to be split in half, his last instinct to survive forced him to carry out a Rank-3 ¡°Spirit Leaf Talisman¡± personally refined by Elder Zhou.


    A vibrant green leaf sprang up out of nowhere from his body, deflecting Xuan Qiao¡¯s golden light from his head.


    ¡°Vain struggle!¡±


    Xuan Qiao spoke in pity, then raised his finger again. Another golden bead formed and flickered. The golden light struck down at Xie Yuntian.


    ¡°I have done my duty to the Sect!¡±


    In the last moment before death, Xie Yuntian¡¯s face suddenly calmed down. He shouted and then lifted his head to face the golden light directly.


    ¡°Brother Xie, I will definitely keep the Sect Disciples alive!¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, who had already retreated from the battlefield, saw this scene in the sky. His eyes moistened, but he gritted his teeth, turned around and continued to lead disciples, their faces filled with all kinds of emotions such as sorrow, pain, anger, and despair, in the retreat.


    Sizzling!


    At this moment, a sound like the tweeting of a green bird suddenly rang out in the battlefield, piercing everyone¡¯s ears.


    Then, a green glowing thunderbolt, like a long spear, shot out from the distant sky, amid the clouds.


    Boom!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The thunderbolt spear arrived in an instant, precisely clashing with the golden light that erupted from Xuan Qiao¡¯s body. The collision of the two Rank-3 Divine Skills produced a terrible momentum that deafened people.


    With a crisp sound, under Xuan Qiao¡¯s incredulous gaze, his golden light was broken by the green glowing thunderbolt.


    The power of the thunderbolt was not exhausted. It roared upwards, heading straight for him standing on the Golden Bridge.


    Thirty golden beads flickered and condensed, forming a thirty-layer golden light curtain inside Xuan Qiao, even more brilliant than when he had confronted Xie Yuntian.


    In the midst of the thunderous sound!

 Chapter 753 - Chapter 753 Chapter 440 This is how Sword Sha is used (8k)_3

    Chapter 753: Chapter 440: This is how Sword Sha is used! (8k)_3 Chapter 753: Chapter 440: This is how Sword Sha is used! (8k)_3 The golden bridge standing tall between the mountains and the earth began to quake, as the terrifying power of thunder tore apart twenty-nine of the thirty shimmering layers of its golden barrier.


    Only the thinnest final layer remained, defending against the last burst of glowing blue thunder.


    Xuan Qiao¡¯s face was full of shock, mistakenly assuming the two Golden Core Cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had taken action.


    Xuan Jinzhi, on the other hand, even withdrew a golden talisman¨Ca Defensive Magic Weapon¨Cand started forming twenty-five golden pearl barriers, intended for shielding against the terrible thunder method.


    ¡°Oh, apart from Ji Dingjin, it seems the Mountain Shaker Peak has another Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator. Why isn¡¯t there any information about this in the sect reports? The Witchcraft division and Technique Transmitting division have seriously neglected their duties!¡±


    A clear voice echoed from the horizon as a burst of Flying Rainbow Light receded, revealing giant Floating Airships.


    The young man on the lead airship was transformed into a stretched phantom of flame due to his conversation. With one step, he crossed half the sky and stood before Xie Yuntian, blocking Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Xie Yuntian looked at the back of the young man standing in front of him, his lips quivering slightly. He wanted to say something, but was too shocked to find the words.


    ¡°Who are these two? Doesn¡¯t matter, they¡¯re about to be dead men anyway!¡±


    After asking Xie Yuntian about the two, Chen Mobai quickly answered himself.


    This remark chilled both Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi on the Golden Bridge. Never before had anyone dared to discount them so bluntly.


    ¡°These two are likely the successors of the Eastern Yi Clan. Both are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment level, practicing a gold-related Cultivation Technique. The female cultivator excels in a Secret Technique that suppresses magic weapons; be careful with your Flying Sword!¡±


    By now, Xie Yuntian had recovered from his shock. Unsure why the younger man in front of him could cultivate the rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder while also achieving Sword Sha, he nonetheless relayed all the information obtained from their previous exchange, hoping to increase Chen Mobai¡¯s odds of success.


    ¡°Suppress magic weapons? That¡¯s unfortunate. I wasn¡¯t planning on using magic artifacts against a mere Foundation Establishment opponent.¡±


    After hearing Xie Yuntian¡¯s words, Chen Mobai responded with a comment to which Xie Yuntian could hardly respond.


    Even with the achievement of Sword Sha and Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, against two Foundation Establishment Perfection disciples from large clans, you shouldn¡¯t be this overconfident!


    ¡°Arrogant! I was only using seventy percent of my strength just now, and still, your Yi Wood Divine Thunder could not harm me in the slightest. I¡¯ll let you experience my full power!¡±


    Xuan Qiao could no longer tolerate it. He had never met anyone more pretentious than him. Every word Chen Mobai said after arrival was hitting his already prideful and sensitive nerve.


    While speaking, Xuan Qiao was already again running his profound magic method: golden pearls condensed one after another in front of him. Under his Divine Sense control, they transformed into golden silk, which interlocked to form a golden net and fell towards Chen Mobai and Xie Yuntian who stood behind him.


    A single golden thread of death had forced Xie Yuntian to give his all, using the Lingye Talisman of Ancestor Zhou, barely to neutralize it.


    This time, a net made of countless golden death threads was falling from the sky; only a Golden Core Cultivator would surely be able to withstand it!


    Xie Yuntian was filled with worry. After a close brush with death, his fierce resolve to embrace death had already shattered, and suddenly, he wanted to survive.


    However, he really wasn¡¯t optimistic about Chen Mobai¡¯s chances of defeating Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.


    ¡°Watch closely, this is how you use the Sword Sha!¡±


    In the face of the golden net descending from the sky, Chen Mobai turned to Xie Yuntian behind him, and then demonstrated on the spot.


    He exhaled a ray of teal light that gathered into a beam.


    It was like a celestial sword tearing through the heavens and the earth, or a starlight piercing the gap between the clouds. Upon contact, it severed and burned all the golden threads of death. Subsequently, the blue flames of the breathtaking wildfire spread along the golden threads towards Xuan Qiao, who was standing on the golden bridge.


    Although Xuan Qiao sensed the terrible situation and decisively cut off his connection with the magic technique, a wisp of Green Flames Sword Slaughter still managed to sear his fingertip.


    As a successor of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he naturally understood the power of Sword Sha. Even though Xie Yuntian¡¯s Sword Sha couldn¡¯t harm him, it did not mean it was not lethal.


    A hint of chill flashed in Xuan Qiao¡¯s eyes, and he instantly sliced off the patch of skin on his fingertip.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re pretty decisive, huh?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to see this and waved at the two.


    ¡°Come on, both of you. I am in a hurry to fight Ji Dingjin.¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t fought against many people, so his unfinished battle with Ji Dingjin left a deep impression and he had been thinking about it for years, hoping to finish it during this sect war.


    [Chen junior brother has this kind of character¡­]


    Xie Yuntian had limited interaction with Chen Mobai, and in the few encounters they¡¯d had, the latter had always been modest and polite.


    But he quickly recalled the rumor among the upper echelon of the sect: the former Sect Leader Meng Hong evaluated him as competitive and aggressive. As soon as he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he had fought against Yuan Hongyuan, a strongman who used brute force for his Foundation Establishment, and seriously injured him. But he had concealed this and did not report it back to the sect. He intended to wait until he reached the grand achievement stage in the Sword Dao to personally reap his revenge.

 Chapter 754 - Chapter 754 Chapter 440 This is How Sword Sha is Used (8k)_4

    Chapter 754: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_4 Chapter 754: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_4 [Perhaps his diligent cultivation of his sword skills in daily life has paid off. Once unsheathed today, indeed, his blade is as sharp as ever, brightening the world with a single stroke.]


    As Xie Yuntian thought this, Xuan Qiao, standing on the Golden Bridge, was already seething with anger.


    He pulled out a golden halberd. Amidst the flickering spiritual light, a golden beam that shocked the heavens shot straight up into the sky and was fiercely thrown towards Chen Mobai.


    Xie Yuntian presumed that if he were to face this strike, he would undoubtedly be doomed.


    Just as he was imagining how Chen Mobai would evade, the latter made a move that made him widen his eyes in surprise.


    He saw Chen Mobai open the five fingers of his right hand, and reach out to clutch the golden halberd that could pierce through the earth.


    Then, amidst the flickering five-colored light, this Rank-2 Magic Artifact was simply crushed into a lump of gold by his Five Elements Sword Finger technique.


    ¡°If you¡¯re not coming, then I¡¯ll make the first move!¡±


    Chen Mobai, not wanting to waste time with them, deployed the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape technique, and in an instant, he was already on the Golden Bridge, facing Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.


    The heirs of the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, but Xuan Qiao immediately felt it as a sign of weakness and swiftly stepped forward again with anger in his heart, his body flickering with golden light and his golden pearls bursting out dazzling brilliance.


    ¡°You said you used 70% of your power earlier!¡±


    As he looked at Xuan Qiao who stepped forward, now almost face-to-face with him, Chen Mobai suddenly spoke. He then spat out three cyan-colored sword pills.


    ¡°I probably used about 20% of mine.¡±


    Right after that, in Xuan Qiao¡¯s disbelieving gaze, the three Green Flames Sword Sha completely erupted.


    A round of cyan brilliance arose on the Golden Bridge. Compared to the previous display, the aftereffect of this Sword Sha was entirely confined within a three-meter radius around the two combatants.


    ¡°Such exquisite control of Divine Sense, Chen Junior Brother¡¯s understanding and application of Sword Sha are far superior to mine.¡±


    Upon seeing this, Xie Yuntian couldn¡¯t help but admit defeat.


    He had only achieved the stage of Sword Sha cultivation and could only use it.


    But Chen Mobai had already begun to master the Sword Sha, even to perfection.


    The two were simply not on the same level.


    [And I actually thought we were about the same!]


    Xie Yuntian felt embarrassed about his previous thoughts. Thankfully, it was only his opinion, and he had never spoken out loud about it. Otherwise, he would have made a complete fool of himself.


    At this time, Xuan Jinzhi could no longer bear it and began to manipulate the golden token in her hand to join the battlefield in an attempt to lend her senior brother a hand.


    With her assistance and artifact, Xuan Qiao finally escaped from the cyan sun formed by the Green Flames Sword Sha. The golden pearl light barrier around the two had long since been destroyed. If it weren¡¯t for a powerful Rank-3 seal and a golden token, they would surely have met their end.


    ¡°Junior sister, this guy¡¯s a monster, retreat first!¡±


    After enduring three Green Flames Sword Sha attacks, Xuan Qiao finally snapped back to reality. His desire to survive overpowered all his pride. He said a phrase to Xuan Jinzhi, then began to guide the Golden Bridge towards the mountains in the sky.


    At that moment, he began to rejoice that he hadn¡¯t left the range of the Golden Bridge. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to escape.


    ¡°A pretty good Battle Array, seems to be specifically designed against my Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Battle Array.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye started to rotate, already having seen through the truth about the Golden Bridge Battle Array. Using the principle of gold overcoming wood, he could easily break open a gap in the Divine Wood Sect War Array.


    ¡°But the key lies in both of you; when you two die, there will be no one left to control this battle array, and it will be useless.¡±


    While saying this, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth to breathe, and another Green Flames Sword Sha was spat out.


    [Just how many Sword Sha has he cultivated?]


    Xie Yuntian was shocked upon seeing this. His cultivation of over one hundred years, had only led to cultivating one and a half Sword Sha. Any more, and his body wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it.


    But Chen Mobai was producing one after another. In a short period, he had already cast five Green Flames Sword Sha!


    A pine-green beam of light lit up from the sky, then like a cyan meteor moving upstream, went straight for the Golden Bridge.


    ¡°Protect the young master!¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s panicky voice rang out from Shake Mountain Peak. He, too, rushed out from the Battle Array, donning his battle armor, and threw a punch that sent out a mighty force, intending to provide cover.


    Unfortunately, to kill the enemy, Chen Mobai had used the Flame Explosion Technique with this sword, and the force added to it like a helping breeze, prematurely detonating some of the power of the Green Flames Sword Sha.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind.


    After all, after this battle, he would be the one to control the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Green Wood Evil. There was no need to be stingy with the power of a Sword Sha.


    Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi had only just left the control range of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s battle array on the Golden Bridge and hadn¡¯t even had the chance to retreat into the protected area of Shake Mountain Peak.

    They were caught up by Chen Mobai¡¯s ultimate version of the Green Flames Sword Sha, enhanced by the Sun Raising Technique, Flame Explosion Technique and more.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯ll go ahead first!¡±


    Xuan Jinzhi gritted her teeth, glanced at the golden token in her hand, spit out a drop of essence blood to stimulate the maximum power of the artifact, then fell off the Golden Bridge and flew in another direction.


    ¡°Huh, this is actually quite surprising.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially thought that the two of them would stick together through thick and thin. He didn¡¯t expect that they would scatter in the face of danger.

 Chapter 755 - Chapter 755 Chapter 440 This is How Sword Sha is Used (8k)_5

    Chapter 755: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_5 Chapter 755: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_5 Xuan Qiao angrily shouted at the retreating figure of Xuan Jinzhi, but the Green Flames Sword Slaughter had already struck him from behind. He could only spur on his Golden Bead Aura Protection once more, and took out multiple defensive talismans and a rank-2 top-quality defensive magic artifact from his storage bag. He even swallowed a pill, the effects of which he wasn¡¯t certain.


    The power of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter self-detonation was such that even a Golden Core Cultivator would not dare to take it head-on. Xuan Qiao had somehow blocked it, expending all he had. Although he was left with only half his life, his body was eroded by the power of the Sword Sha.


    But, at least he was alive!


    At this moment, Ji Dingjin who had rushed out from the mountains landed in front of Xuan Qiao. He held the smoking Xuan Qiao in his arms and turned to retreat into his own battle array.


    ¡°Oh, was it because the power of the Sword Sha was detonated in advance?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s questioning voice echoed in Ji Dingjin¡¯s ears, causing the latter¡¯s body to jolt. The Black Mace in his other hand descended with fierce momentum to his side.


    Within the flicker of the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, Chen Mobai had already retreated three meters. He smiled as he watched Ji Dingjin retreating back into the Shake Mountain Peak¡¯s battle array, holding Xuan Qiao in his arms.


    Ji Dingjin was puzzled. He looked at the Chen Mobai outside the battle array, noticing the latter holding a lid in his right hand, gently capping a Yellow Skin Gourd hanging at his waist.


    Before capping the Yellow Skin Gourd, Ji Dingjin saw a line of orange-red light, like a bloodline, falling into it.


    [What is that?]


    Just as he was wondering, a violent coughing sound came from Xuan Qiao in his arms, the voice getting weaker and weaker.


    ¡°Cough, cough¡­.Once I reach¡­the Golden Core stage¡­huff, huff¡­.¡±


    Midway through his sentence, Xuan Qiao suddenly realized something. There was a bloodline, unknown since when, emerging on his neck, followed by a large amount of blood pouring from his mouth and nostrils.


    Click!


    Xuan Qiao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, his head involuntarily separated from his neck along the bloodline, dropping onto Ji Dingjin.


    [Such a swift sword! When did he make the strike?]


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s face was filled with shock. He looked at Xuan Qiao, whose head was separated from his body, his divine sense extinguished, completely devoid of signs of life. He was stunned, silent for a long time.


    This guy is progressing too fast!


    Ji Dingjin felt the remaining power of the Sword Sha starting to erode Xuan Qiao¡¯s body, sparking it. He indifferently let go of the headless body, his gaze meeting that of the handsome youth who was watching the scene unfold from outside the battle array.


    ¡°Be glad, you were supposed to be the first one.¡±


    Across the battle array, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice couldn¡¯t penetrate, but Ji Dingjin had lip-read Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    [Is fate condemning my Shake Mountain Peak?]


    This was the first time Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t feel confident in securing the victory.


    Although Shake Mountain Peak didn¡¯t have the upper hand against the Divine Wood Sect, Ji Dingjin believed he could put up a fight.


    But now, witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s unfathomable sword dao cultivation, he felt the same sense of despair Xie Yuntian had when facing Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.


    ¡°Quick, open the battle array, let me in!¡±


    At that moment, over at the other end of the Fixed Mountain Battle Array, Xuan Jinzhi, who had made a roundabout way, used her attack to shake the mountains, drawing Ji Dingjin¡¯s attention.


    Xuan Jinzhi initially wanted to flee, but she thought that she might not be able to escape the dreadful Pursuer, Chen Mobai. After all, his Earth Departing Flame Light Escape skill was too fast. It felt safer to hide in the battle array.


    Besides, as long as she survived this situation, she could later find a way to return to the East Barbarians through Shake Mountain Peak¡¯s teleportation array.


    Had she returned to the East Barbarians, her life would surely be out of danger.


    Ji Dingjin hesitated and thought about the only hope for Shake Mountain Peak in the battle against the Divine Wood Sect which was still the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. He nodded and opened a gap in the battle array.


    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot about one other.¡±


    Just as Xuan Jinzhi stepped in halfway through the Fixed Mountain Battle Array, Chen Mobai once again uncapped the Yellow Skin Gourd hanging on his waist. In the flickering orange-red arrogant light, it had already sliced across Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s fair and slender neck.


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s eyes were about to pop. However, he could only watch helplessly as Xuan Jinzhi also became a headless corpse before his eyes.


    This time, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget to string together Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s storage bag and the golden token held in her palm with Primordial Yang Sword Sha and bring them back.


    ¡°Damn it, this is outrageous!¡±


    Ji Dingjin let out an angry cry. With his battle armor on and the Black Mace in his hand, he was about to rush out of the battle array to deal with Chen Mobai.


    As a Body Cultivator at the stage of Foundation Establishment Perfection, his offensive ability was average, but he was extremely confident about his defensive power, believing he could withstand the onslaught of the Sword Sha.

    ¡°Deputy Sect Master, calm down!¡±


    At a critical moment, a Shake Mountain Peak Master grabbed Ji Dingjin, stopping his suicidal action.


    After getting hold of Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s storage bag, Chen Mobai saw Ji Dingjin¡¯s move. His eyes lit up, and he even waited in mid-air outside the battle array for a while.


    Seeing Ji Dingjin calmed down, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head in regret.


    It seems that today will be a double kill!

 Chapter 756 - Chapter 756 441

    Chapter 756: 441 Chapter 756: 441 After killing two people from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Chen Mobai returned to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp in the sky.


    At this time, Zhou Wangshen, who had experienced great ups and downs, also returned. He and Xie Yuntian stood together, looking blankly at the handsome young man flying towards them in the sunlight.


    ¡°Greetings to the two senior brothers.¡±


    Seeing them, Chen Mobai greeted with a smile. Xie Yuntian and Zhou Wangshen quickly waved their hands to indicate that no formalities were needed.


    They still had some self-esteem. If it had been another Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, they probably would have immediately referred to themselves as junior brothers.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen has performed quite a feat this time, proving himself the strongest practitioner in our sect after our two elder ancestors. He has managed to hold back the tide of disaster and avert a potentially catastrophic situation.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen was originally a proud man, but after being chastised by Chen Mobai at Yin Qingmei¡¯s banquet, he had resigned to his fate.


    Seeing Chen Mobai coming, he immediately thanked him sincerely.


    To be honest, just minutes ago, he was leading the retreat of the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect as if they were a pack of wolves, fearing that his life was over.


    The huge loss resulting from the battlefield would make him an eternal guilty party in the sect.


    Even with his connection to Elder Zhou, he probably would just escape death but be deprived of all cultivation resources, imprisoned in a cage with no chance of moving forward.


    In a more extreme scenario, several elders of his clan might have forced him to die for the sect in the Lei Nation to protect Elder Zhou¡¯s reputation.


    So Chen Mobai¡¯s timely arrival, killing Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi and repelling the attack of the Mountain Shaker Peak, was indeed a lifesaver for Zhou Wangshen.


    ¡°I owe you a great debt, Junior Brother. If you ever need my help in the future, please don¡¯t hesitate to tell me.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen slapped his chest and said as such. Xie Yuntian, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Your kindness at saving my life is beyond words. When we return to the sect, I will concede all the Green Wood Evil to you. Only you can maximize its use.¡±


    During the last battle against the Mountain Shaker Peak, Xie Yuntian also made considerable contributions, and the sect gave the remaining sixteen streams of Green Wood Evil to him.


    However, Xie Yuntian did not have the same favorable conditions as Chen Mobai. After a hundred years of hard cultivation, he only managed to cultivate one and a half streams of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    To avoid the gradual loss of Spiritual Energy from the harvested Green Wood Evil, the remaining fourteen streams are still nurtured in the Land of the Dead of the sect.


    This was also the reason why Chu Zuoshu was able to mobilize and place three streams of Green Wood Evil from Spirit Treasure Pavilion on the shelf for Chen Mobai.


    But before doing this, Chu Zuoshu had indeed asked for Xie Yuntian¡¯s consent since these technically belonged to him.


    Now, having witnessed Chen Mobai¡¯s unpredictable Green Flames Sword Slaughter on the battlefield, Xie Yuntian was completely convinced, believing that it would be a waste to use these precious resources of the sect on himself rather than the exceptional sword cultivation genius, Chen Mobai.


    After a brush with death, Xie Yuntian¡¯s narrow-minded mindset was also completely changed.


    After all, only when the Divine Wood Sect is strong can the sect disciples more easily obtain cultivation resources.


    If Chen Mobai had successfully formed a core today, Mountain Shaker Peak definitely would not have dared to attack. In fact, they probably would have packed up and fled upon hearing the news that the Divine Wood Sect had mobilized troops.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, thank you, Senior Brother Xie.¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite pleased with this, and he thanked Xie Yuntian earnestly. But the latter sidestepped the gesture, refusing to accept his courtesy.


    ¡°As for how we should proceed with the battle, please take control of the overall situation, Junior Brother.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, who was quite perceptive, spoke up and yielded the command of his troops to Chen Mobai, declaring that he would follow Chen Mobai¡¯s leadership.


    ¡°I noticed that many Qi Practitioners from other sects have scattered. I will rely on Senior Brother Zhou to gather them back.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not stand on ceremony. He believed that leading all the cultivators in battle as the commanding general was the quickest way for the Divine Wood Sect to secure victory in this war.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m on it!¡±


    Just as Zhou Wangshen was about to leave, Chen Mobai stopped him and handed him a mobile phone.


    At this moment, the elder Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect who had fled earlier also flew over to join them at Chen Mobai¡¯s call.


    ¡°Our respects to Junior Brother Chen!¡±


    Upon their arrival, all the Foundation Establishment elders thanked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°We really owe you big time!¡±


    ¡°If not for you, the Lei Nation would have fallen by now, and we would be fighting alone, waiting for rescue.¡±


    Among them, Yue Zutao and Yuan Chiye were good friends of Chen Mobai. Their words were somewhat sincere, and they expressed their gratitude once again amid sighs of relief.

    ¡°The battle isn¡¯t over yet, everyone. Let¡¯s stay alert. Here are the mobile phones¡­¡±


    After encouraging everyone a bit, Chen Mobai distributed mobile phones to everyone. After explaining their functions, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Having spent two months on the battlefield, they understood the significance of these magic artifacts.


    ¡°Junior Brother, with these, conquering Mountain Shaker Peak will be a matter of days.¡±


    Yue Zutao, clearly excited, tried out the mobile phone. After confirming that the communication function worked perfectly, he could already see a bright future.


    ¡°Everyone, take one. After we gather the scattered Qi Practitioners, each sect disciple will act as a backbone team captain, leading some Loose Cultivators and clan disciples¡­¡±

 Chapter 757 - Chapter 757 Chapter 441 Precious Golden Light_2

    Chapter 757: Chapter 441: Precious Golden Light_2 Chapter 757: Chapter 441: Precious Golden Light_2 Chen Mobai once again explained his training plan. Although the fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators led by Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian, along with Chen Zhenwu, didn¡¯t quite understand, they all chose to obey decisively after witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s astounding Sword Dao.


    Zhou Wangshen took the lead in gathering the loose cultivators and family disciples who had run away, while Xie Yuntian stayed behind to regain order among the somewhat chaotic disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who had retreated and then returned here.


    ¡°I hope your arm wound isn¡¯t too serious, Senior Brother Xie.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with concern, looking at Xie Yuntian¡¯s right arm, which had been reattached with a Renewal Talisman.


    ¡°Thanks to you using the Sword Sha to break the golden thread in my wound, otherwise, I would have had to wait for either of the two Elders to make a move or for a long period of attrition before my arm could be reattached. By then, it would have probably been useless.¡±


    Xie Yuntian raised his still somewhat stiff right arm, thanked Chen Mobai again, and after the latter used his Void Spirit Eye to confirm there were no complications with the connection of his meridians, and that all that was left was for the broken bones and flesh to reknit, he also comfortably walked back into the camp¡¯s main tent.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp was naturally a wooden house.


    Chen Mobai felt it was even more beautiful and sturdy than the one he had created with his Wooden House Talisman, and it seemed to possess a special Array Prohibition.


    Yue Zutao went with Xie Yuntian to manage the Divine Wood Sect disciples, leaving only Yuan Chiye with Chen Mobai.


    After a long separation, they chatted briefly before Yuan Chiye tactfully excused himself.


    ¡°You all go help Senior Brother Xie as well, only Xuan and a group of cultivators need to stay by my side.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment elders who came with Chen Mobai listened to his words, nodded their heads, and after commanding the hundred people under them to disembark from the Floating Airship, they also flew over to help Xie Yuntian.


    A few others followed the direction Zhou Wangshen had taken to collect those loose cultivators who had fled in defeat.


    Finally, only Chen Mobai and his disciple were left in the wooden house. He motioned with his hand, and the latter obediently retreated, even closing the door for him as she stood at the entrance.


    Surrounding the camp¡¯s wooden house, there was also a hundred-man team led by Luo Yixuan. They were arranged in a Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation guarding the area.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level, the combined strength of those people couldn¡¯t match his own, but as the main general, such a spectacle was expected.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind this and took out Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s storage bag.


    As Xuan Jinzhi was a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, his Divine Sense realm was slightly stronger than Chen Mobai¡¯s, so a Space Talisman was needed to break the prohibition.


    So Chen Mobai first examined the golden token.


    Although his treasure appraisal skills were average, he had learned the basics in the Daoist Academy. He quickly determined it to be a second-rank, high-grade defensive magic weapon suitable for cultivators with Metal Spirit Root.


    Upon infusing Spiritual Power into it, a golden light shield would appear to protect the body and even enable the cultivator to fly and move around, making it very useful.


    It was equivalent to Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±.


    Although the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± was not of the same grade as this golden token, if given a choice, Chen Mobai would definitely choose the former.


    After all, that item was the symbol of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and it has vast potential for the future. As long as there are enough resources, it can be upgraded to a Taiyi Five Silk Robe.


    The golden token not only had an ordinary method of refinement, it also didn¡¯t match Chen Mobai¡¯s Spirit Root Attributes, he couldn¡¯t unleash all of its power.


    Unfortunately, among his three disciples, none had outstanding Metal Spirit Root.


    Chen Mobai surveyed his close friends, with only his sister, Wang Xinying being suitable. Even if it were a gift, he would have to wait until she reached Foundation Establishment before he could give it to her, and preferably find a way to refine it again to avoid potential risks.


    After briefly assessing the token, Chen Mobai placed it on the table, took out a second-rank jade talisman paper and a full set of talisman brushes, and began to draw the Space Talisman.


    With his current skill near that of a Rank-3 Talisman Maker, it was naturally a breeze for him, succeeding in one attempt.


    Once he opened Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s storage bag, Chen Mobai simply poured everything out.


    In a short while, he awkwardly picked out the Spirit Stones, cultivation techniques, materials, and other items of interest from a large pile of women¡¯s clothes.


    What surprised him was that Xuan Jinzhi, a descendant of the Eastern Yi Clan, actually had two high-quality spirit stones in his storage bag.


    The salary for the Purple Electric Sword for two months was secured.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai put the spirit stones into his storage bag and then picked up a few dark golden ores that had been refined, and carefully identified them.


    He had also spent several years at the Daoist Academy taking elective courses in ¡°mineral identification¡±, and soon recognized this as ¡°golden crystals¡±, refined to the level of Rank-2 spirit material. At the immortal gate, each gram cost tens of thousands of Good Deed Points.


    These three stones would amount to at least thirty million Good Deed Points if sold to the immortal gate.


    These things are traded by the general population at the immortal gate, but they only usually trade 10 to 20 grams at a time because mixing as little as these amounts in the magic artifacts is enough to replenish them and help sharpen the artifact again.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai did not dare to sell them.


    As long as he does his business in an orderly manner, his wealth will certainly increase in the future. There¡¯s no need to engage in potentially risky dealings for a mere thirty million Good Deed Points.


    Besides the three chunks of pure gold, Chen Mobai also found quite a number of elixirs with careful labels attached to them. By roughly corresponding to the names of the elixirs, he guessed what they were used for.


    However, for Chen Mobai, these were all destined to be sold as well.


    Finally, he turned his attention to a book.


    Written on the cover were the four words ¡°Precious Golden Light,¡± which referred to a spell.


    Chen Mobai remembered what Xie Yuntian had said earlier: Xuan Jinzhi knew a secret technique that could suppress magic artifacts. His Fiery Flying Sword had been suppressed, and at that moment, he thought he had permanently lost this top-notch flying sword.


    However, after Chen Mobai had slain Xuan Jinzhi, Xie Yuntian was once again able to sense his cultivated flying sword. He didn¡¯t know what the mystery behind this was.


    After reading the ¡°Precious Golden Light¡± technique, Chen Mobai realized that Xuan Jinzhi hadn¡¯t fully mastered the art.


    The technique was for forcibly seizing an opponent¡¯s magic artifact and had four stages: ¡°Treasure Suppression¡±, ¡°Treasure Seal¡± , ¡°Treasure Fall¡± and ¡°Treasure Refinement¡±.


    The ¡°Treasure Suppression¡± was capable of suppressing the magic artifact. However, this only controlled the physical quality of the artifact. If the opponent had a higher cultivation level, they could forcibly break the suppression with Divine Sense.


    The second stage, ¡°Treasure Seal¡±, was even more profound. It could even seal the divine sense cultivated by the cultivator into the artifact, depriving the cultivator of the ability to sense the existence of the artifact. Xuan Jinzhi had reached this level.


    Previously, Xie Yuntian¡¯s flying sword was sealed by Xuan Jinzhi in this way, making him think that the Divine Sense he had cultivated into the sword was erased.


    But in fact, it is only when you reach the third level, ¡°Treasure Fall¡±, that you can crush the divine senses left by the cultivator in the magic artifact in a short time and forcibly seize control of the magic artifact.


    However, there are restrictions. It can¡¯t capture the lifeblood artifacts of the opponent or those that have a much higher cultivation level than oneself.


    But once you reach this level, the sensation of seizing someone¡¯s artifact directly in front of them is incredibly satisfying when you think about it.


    The final stage, ¡°Treasure Refinement¡±, is the ultimate level of the technique. It allows you to refine the artifact on the spot, completely mastering all its sacrificial techniques and control methods. It¡¯s equivalent to a Rank-4 Architect of the Immortal Gate.


    Having finished reading, Chen Mobai was itching to cultivate the technique.


    Since the Immortal Gate values rights such as human rights, property rights, usage rights, ownership rights, and so on, this kind of technique would not be available. Even if it were, it would likely be labeled as a Forbidden Technique and be prohibited from cultivation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But this technique was extremely useful for Chen Mobai.


    At worst, he could just use it within the Tianhe Realm after he had accomplished it.


    The main requirement for cultivating Precious Golden Ligh was the ¡°Golden Crystal¡±, besides spirit stones.


    A cultivator could extract the pure gold energy contained in it, mix it with divine sense and his own spiritual power following a special ratio, and after refining it nine times, they could produce a trace of Precious Golden Light. Once a complete path of this was cultivated, it would reach the level of Treasure Suppression.


    The three pieces in Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s storage bag were probably for her own cultivation. Chen Mobai estimated that they should be enough for him to cultivate his own full Precious Golden Light.

 Chapter 758 - Chapter 758 Chapter 442 The Fourteenth Level of the

    Chapter 758: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Level of the Immortality Sutra(8k))_1 Chapter 758: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Level of the Immortality Sutra(8k))_1 I¡¯ll just do it.


    Chen Mobai immediately took out the Formless Puppet and extrapolated the cultivation process of the Precious Golden Light. As it turned out, his cultivation speed was quite commendable.


    Probably because his Metal Spirit Root was at 23 points.


    After all, before he got the opportunity from the Turtle Treasure, Chen Mobai had True Spirit Roots of gold, wood, and water. He even dreamed of becoming a prominent and handsome Sword Cultivator when he was young.


    However, because he later practiced the two-phase technique that integrated both wood and fire, his Metal Spirit Root was basically never developed.


    Now that he is in the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, practicing this Precious Golden Light method with the assistance of the Formless Puppet is naturally easy to comprehend.


    Regrettably, he was currently on a battlefield. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to be distracted, so he temporarily put this Precious Golden Light method in his Storage Bag, intending to practice it when he had spare time after the war ended and he returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Having a clear plan, Chen Mobai tidied up the things he had poured out from Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s Storage Bag.


    Things like Spirit Stones, elixirs, and cultivation techniques were of course kept in his bag.


    Those useless clothes were returned to the original Storage Bag. Then he called Luo Yixuan over and asked his disciple to deal with them.


    ¡°How is the team assembly going?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the situation with the previously dispersed cultivators. Luo Yixuan, who was guarding outside, could see that quite a few people had been successively returned by the Qi Practitioners of Foundation Establishment from the Divine Wood Sect.


    But the number of people was much fewer.


    Both master and disciple stepped out of the tent. Chen Mobai flew mid-air for an overview of the camp and roughly calculated that there were around 2,700 people.


    Of these, 1,000 were those he brought. This meant that of the original 3,000 people, besides the 1,000 from his own Divine Wood Sect, only 700 Loose Cultivators and disciple from influential families remain after the debacle.


    Chen Mobai called Xie Yuntian and Yuan Chiye, who were left in the camp, over to confirm the specifics of the troop makeup.


    ¡°Only over a hundred of the fleeing Loose Cultivators were caught and brought back by Junior Brother Zhou¡¯s group. The other 600 are Qi Practitioners from influential families and minor sects. Most of them have concerns and did not dare to run too far. They all rushed back when they saw your great power from not far away.¡±


    Having heard Xie Yuntian¡¯s statement, Chen Mobai nodded lightly. He had not harbored much expectation towards these Loose Cultivators who fled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s aim to gather 3,000 people. With that, we will be able to evolve three Giant Wooden Armored Soldiers, which will increase our chances of victory when attacking Shake Mountain.¡±


    After Chen Mobai issued a command, Xie Yuntian immediately nodded. The camp had also stabilized by this time. After all, the final result was their Divine Wood Sect¡¯s victory. For the sect disciples and attached influential families and minor sects, this was a reassurance.


    ¡°In this battle, probably over 300 Qi Practitioners have died, of which 36 were our sect disciples. More than half of them were from our sword training department.¡±


    After they finished speaking, Yuan Chiye also stepped forward to report on casualties.


    After hearing this, Xie Yuntian¡¯s face turned somber.


    Before Chen Mobai arrived, the cultivators from Shake Mountain had entered the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp through the Golden Bridge Battle Array and slaughtered wildly.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Xie Yuntian leading the sword training department to check Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s 300 disciples in time and single-handedly stalling Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi, I¡¯m afraid the casualties would have been greater.


    The sword training department lived up to its reputation as the number one combat department of the Divine Wood Sect, stalling the first wave of the most violent attack on the most dangerous battlefield.


    ¡°Elder Yuan, take note. After the war ends, give the descendants compensation as agreed upon for casualties.¡±


    After hearing this, Yuan Chiye nodded.


    By nightfall, Zhou Wangshen and other Qi Practitioners of Foundation Establishment returned and brought back more than a hundred people.


    The next day, Chen Mobai did not send them out again.


    He started to command everyone to divide the soldiers and practice. Here, there were a total of 24 Qi Practitioners of Foundation Establishment from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among them were two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lei Nation, and they were precisely the ones familiar to Chen Mobai: Lian Chenghai and his group.


    Originally, there were three, but one of them unfortunately fell during the previous battle with Shake Mountain.


    But it wasn¡¯t just him, even two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had died in battle too.


    Chen Mobai divided the over 2,800 Qi Practitioners. He had each Foundation Establishment cultivator lead a team of 100. The two teams under his command as the chief general remained the same.


    Among them, Xie Yuntian continued to lead his 300 elite sword training department members, serving as the mobile troop during battles.


    Chen Mobai was in no rush. He led this army to besiege the camp where Shake Mountain was located, using the Fixed Mountain Battle Array across them for daily training and drilling.

    Under his command, the Alpha Wood Soldier formation became more and more proficient. Once, ten squads combined to form a giant Taoist Soldier over 30 meters tall.


    The Giant Taoist Soldier had demonstrated the power of the Golden Core Stage. Chen Mobai did not miss this opportunity and experienced it with his own Divine Sense serving as the core.


    He manipulated and drove the blue giant, formed by the combined spiritual energy of a thousand Qi Practitioners. The left hand commanded a hurricane, the right hand thunder. He bombarded Shake Mountain¡¯s battle array relentlessly.


    This made the protective mountain barrier began to distort slightly. Unfortunately, they still couldn¡¯t break it.


    Additionally, the form of ten combined, producing the Giant Alpha Wood Soldier, couldn¡¯t be sustained for long. Just after a few minutes, Chen Mobai felt a rapid decline in power.

 Chapter 759 - Chapter 759 Chapter 442 The Fourteenth Layer of the

    Chapter 759: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_2 Chapter 759: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_2 He swiftly commanded nine other Foundation Establishment fellow disciples to disperse again, appearing as ten Alpha Wood Soldiers. The final soldier also dissipated, revealing a thousand Qi Practitioners in the camp with slightly pale faces.


    This is considered the ultimate transformation of the Shenmu Sect War Array, usually performed only when the outcome is being decided.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s performance startled Ji Dingjin, who was on the opposite side, almost prompting him to initiate his own Mountain and River Dragon Transformation.


    Luckily, the Shenmu side was merely conducting training drills.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai familiarized himself with the dispersal and assembly of the Alpha Wood Soldiers while attacking the light shield of the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Despite the lack of close combat between the two major sects, the fight was intense and accompanied by impressive light effects.


    During this process, some escaped Qi Practitioners actually returned.


    After all, many Loose Cultivators are experts at shifting allegiances. When they found out that Chen Mobai had slain two Foundation Establishment cultivators at their peak and greatly defeated the momentum of Mountain Shaker Peak, they believed that the Divine Wood Sect was bound to win this battle. They intended to take advantage of the situation and obtain more Spirit Stones.


    However, they observed for a few days and, seeing Chen Mobai lead the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army to press on Mountain Shaker Peak, they shamelessly returned with various excuses.


    Some claimed their wounds from the previous battle had just healed, others said they had chased enemies too far and only just found their way back¡­


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t respond much to this.


    He had utilized the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier several times and knew that the War Array¡¯s strength increased with more participants.


    Therefore, he welcomed all, and after the period of military training, he had divided the troops well. When these Loose Cultivators came back, they were dispersed among the teams of Foundation Establishment and true transmit disciples. Even if there were enemy spies, they could only supply power to the War Array.


    Thanks to this, the number of cultivators under Chen Mobai finally exceeded three thousand, and they could produce three Giant Wooden Armored Soldiers.


    Half a month quickly passed.


    Ten giant green figures, wielding a whirlwind in the left hand and thunder in the right, appeared as incarnations of nature. They manipulated overwhelming energy and heavily struck towards the yellow mountain in the center.


    Continuous booming sounds echoed as Chen Mobai keenly felt the spiritual energy of this region¡¯s Spirit Vein become chaotic.


    After all, the power of their War Array, apart from the cultivators, continually extracted spiritual energy from the surrounding heavens and earth.


    This border area was the most barren place in both countries.


    The campsite was only supplied by a Rank-2 Spirit Vein.


    Under their relentless and continuous extraction, the power of the Spirit Vein would gradually shrink, eventually getting exhausted and turning into deserted lands.


    However, neither the Divine Wood Sect nor Mountain Shaker Peak cared about this.


    After all, as long as they could win this war, they could even obtain each other¡¯s Rank-4 Spirit Vein. They would not even bat an eye for a Rank-2 or even a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    ¡°Indeed, it does resemble a turtle shell.¡±


    Chen Mobai flew in mid-air, watching the encircled Mountain Shaker Peak camp besieged by Alpha Wooden Soldiers transformed through the thousands of men array. He nodded in agreement with the descriptions given by Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian.


    They had already attacked the sect for several rounds, but other than depleting some spiritual energy and Spirit Stones, they were simply unable to shake the rival sect¡¯s tightly formed mountain-light barrier.


    Knowing that they were outnumbered and without the presence of Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi, two Foundation Establishment cultivators at their peak, the Mountain Shaker Peak decided to hole up and wait, bundling themselves up in their Battle Array, refusing to move.


    They held their ground, preventing The Divine Wood Sect from advancing.


    After all, if they were to attack the Rock Country, the Mountain Shaker Peak could also strike at the Lei Nation. The act of bringing mutual destruction wouldn¡¯t be resort to until absolutely necessary by either side.


    However, it was different now.


    ¡°I will lead two thousand cultivators to block them here, and you will lead the rest to attack the Rock Country and Sky Country.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the current delay was undesirable, and thus discussed with Xie Yuntian and other Foundation Establishment cultivators of his sect, and decided upon a battle plan.


    ¡°Would two thousand cultivators be enough? Most soldiers in Mountain Shaker Peak are body cultivators if they decide to push through with all their might, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be stopped.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen pointed out a possible problem. He wanted Xie Yuntian to lead three hundred elite sword cultivators to cause havoc in the two countries, while leaving the rest behind.


    This way, the sword cultivators penetrating the two countries could maintain mobility, while the remaining force would have enough suppressive power.

    ¡°It can work, but Brother Xie¡¯s arm injury hasn¡¯t healed yet, so we might need a different leader.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only an arm, it won¡¯t affect my abilities. However, if it¡¯s just me, there might be risks. Disciple Chen, you need to send some other Foundation Establishment cultivators with me.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and let Yu Lian and four other Foundation Establishment cultivators follow Xie Yuntian and three hundred sword cultivators into the two countries to conduct sabotage.


    Before they left, Chen Mobai privately told Xie Yuntian that there was a Puppet Body of Master Fu in the Rock Country. If they encountered danger, they could go directly to the main base of Mountain Shaker Peak. Hearing this, Xie Yuntian became somewhat excited and more confident.


    This was because Xie Yuntian¡¯s loyalty to the sect was proven when he put his life on the line to block Xuan Qiao a few days ago. Chen Mobai believed he was trustworthy, hence he shared this confidential information with him.

 Chapter 760 - Chapter 760 442

    Chapter 760: 442 Chapter 760: 442 The news of Xie Yuntian¡¯s departure was not kept a secret for long.


    After all, they didn¡¯t have many people, so they were unable to wipe the enemy out completely, and news of the backyard catching fire quickly reached the ears of Ji Dingjin.


    ¡°Damn kid, he only knows these dirty tricks!¡±


    In a rage, Ji Dingjin smashed a pottery jar filled with spirit beast meat onto the ground, ready to gather his troops and set up his battle array for a showdown with the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Deputy Sect Master, this is the enemy¡¯s provocative strategy. If we confront them directly, I fear it will play right into their hands.¡±


    The one who had previously dissuaded Ji Dingjin from engaging with Chen Mobai spoke again. His name was Ai Tuo.


    He was very accurate in judging the situation, but at this point, they were divided internally.


    ¡°Elder Brother Ai, the situation now is different from before. If we don¡¯t act now, when the news of our rear defeat spreads, the morale of our troops here will disintegrate. Everyone will worry about the safety of their family members. By then, we might not even have the strength to fight.¡±


    The one speaking was Jiao Shukuan, one of the nine peak masters of Shake Mountain, from a family of cultivators. Nearly two hundred Qi Practitioners here are disciples from their family.


    And his family is a major cultivation family in Rock Country.


    But all the elite of the Jiao family were brought out, leaving only one Foundation Establishment elder and a few dozen Qi Practitioners in the family. Even if there were formations protecting them, he was still worried and anxious, fearing that the Divine Wood Sect would attack and plunder their family¡¯s hundreds of years of accumulated wealth.


    Not just Jiao Shukuan, the other two peak masters also chimed in. They too came from noble families. If they lost the support of the nobility behind them, their positions as peak masters would become unstable.


    But after these three people spoke out, Ji Dingjin managed to cool down. The impulsive look he previously had completely disappeared.


    Being the deputy sect master of Shake Mountain for over a hundred years and holding a high position in the sect, only second to Ji Zhenshi, he is not someone who is easily angered or reckless.


    The Divine Wood Sect sent people to their rear to plunder, which was an attempt to force them into a direct confrontation.


    Ji Dingjin was very clear that if they were to fight face-to-face, they would likely be at a disadvantage. But if they didn¡¯t fight, as time passed and the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s mobile units gradually conquered the family markets of Rock Country and Sky Country, they would already be considered defeated.


    Therefore, this is a fight they must engage in.


    Because if they didn¡¯t, the morale of their side would disintegrate first.


    ¡°I have made up my mind. We will switch from defending Shake Mountain to an all-out assault.¡±


    When Ji Dingjin made this declaration, the anxious expressions on the faces of people like Jiao Shukuan eased slightly.


    However, Ai Tuo sighed. He also realized that Ji Dingjin was not unaware that this was part of the enemy¡¯s strategy, but it was a strategy they had to play into.


    They had no choice but to fight!


    With a booming sound, a yellow mountain rushed skyward, crashing into the surrounding green giants and causing terrifying fluctuations of nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    The commander¡¯s order had been given, and their morale was high. About half of Shake Mountain¡¯s main army were Qi Practitioners from cultivation families. Hearing the news that the Divine Wood Sect was rampaging behind them, they were all filled with a suppressed rage.


    So, when the battle array switched from defense to offense, they fought fiercely, surprising the Divine Wood Sect with their formidable attack power.


    At the critical moment, blue lights lit up in the sky above the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp, forming nine more green giants.


    Nineteen Alpha Wood Soldiers combined their efforts and managed to stop the yellow mountain, that came rolling like a gigantic rock and shaking the whole ground.


    ¡°Where is Ji Dingjin? Come out and fight!¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any words. He rushed straight to the edge of the Shenmu Sect War Array, challenging the opposing commander to a duel between True Cultivators.


    ¡°Fight your m¡­¡±


    But in the middle of his rebuke, Ji Dingjin manipulated the power of Shake Mountain¡¯s battle array, transforming it into a gigantic yellow dust hand, and aimed a powerful blow at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Be careful, Master!¡±


    Thanks to the power of the battle array, Ji Dingjin¡¯s punch had reached nearly the strength of Core Formation. Fortunately, Luo Yixuan had been on alert, and upon seeing this, she immediately controlled her team to form Alpha Wood Soldiers, shielding Chen Mobai completely.


    The green Wind Thunder swept out fiercely, like a Wind Thunder blade, slashing into the palm of the yellow hand, turning it into dust.


    ¡°I was thinking of leaving you with a whole corpse.¡±


    When Chen Mobai said this, his gaze was icy cold, causing Ji Dingjin¡¯s heart to suddenly shudder. But on the battlefield, it was a matter of life and death. He had already put his own life and death aside.


    ¡°Even if I die today, I will make sure to severely wound the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    After uttering this ruthless statement, Ji Dingjin began to wholeheartedly maneuver the Shake Mountain battle array.


    The yellow mountain, blocked by the twenty green giants, suddenly began to shroud in billowing smoke. To the astonishment of everyone, it kept changing shape, finally transforming into a fierce yellow dragon.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With a swipe of its tail, the Yellow Dragon sent two Alpha Wood Soldiers flying far away.


    ¡°Shake Mountain is fighting desperately now. This is the final transformation of their battle array. After the mountain transforms into a dragon, it can reach the power level of Core Formation.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen had been in Lei Nation for many years. When meditating daily, he was always pondering on how to capture Shake Mountain Peak, hence, he knew very well about their techniques and transformations.


    ¡°And what is there for my Divine Wood Sect to fear!¡±


    Chen Mobai said this calmly, then began to give orders to his men using his smartphone.

 Chapter 761 - Chapter 761 Chapter 442 The Fourteenth Layer of the

    Chapter 761: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_4 Chapter 761: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_4 In an instant, the nearby Alpha Wood Soldiers disintegrated into a green light, like shooting stars disappearing into the green giant enveloping him.


    In no time, the Alpha Wood Soldier Chen Mobai was controlling swelled dramatically to a height of thirty to forty meters, its size further increasing as the power of other Alpha Wood Soldier squads converged onto it.


    Amidst the thunderous noise, Ji Dingjin, having completed his battle array transformation ahead of time, was now controlling the Mountainous Yellow Dragon, its gaping mouth, akin to a black hole, lunging towards him.


    Chen Mobai, situated in the core of the chest of the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier, manipulated his divine sense according to the control methods of the sect¡¯s battle array, and then, he extended a stout, transparent green finger, as thick as a tree trunk, towards the oncoming Yellow Dragon.


    A beam of clear radiance lit up at the fingertip of the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier!


    The spiritual energy of Nature within a square kilometer radius was uncontrollably devoured by this light in an instant. Then, following a certain divine skill¡¯s operation, it transformed into a fearsome force capable of shaking heaven and earth.


    Boom boom boom!


    Chen Mobai only felt a terrifying force capable of shattering him burst forth from the fingertip of the giant green entity outside his body, stabbing into the mouth of the approaching Yellow Dragon like a clear radiant sword.


    In that moment, the sky flickered with streaks of green and yellow lightning while the earth began to tremble violently under the direct clash of the ultimate transformations of the two battle arrays.


    In the midst of the cracking sounds, a massive fissure suddenly appeared between the green giant¡¯s feet, standing atop the vast plain.


    This was the result of the earth being unable to withstand the residual force of the clash between the two battle arrays, beginning to groan and wail as it cracked open.


    ¡°So this is¡­the power of Core Formation?!¡±


    After unleashing ¡°Sky Tree Spirit Light¡±, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but get somewhat lost in the grandeur of the power that could almost change mountains and rivers.


    A battle array allows a single person to wield the combined power of many.


    The previously fifteen-meter-tall green giant was the result of the spiritual power of a hundred Qi practitioners being gathered and controlled by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and then evolved into an ¡°Alpha Wood Soldier¡± through the battle array flags of the Divine Wood Sect.


    And when ten Alpha Wood Soldiers are aggregated, they can morph into the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier that Chen Mobai now controls. It possesses the power of Golden Core Stage, but that¡¯s merely the lowest level of Core Formation.


    The Alpha Wood Soldier he now controlled was bolstered not simply by the spiritual power of more than two thousand seven hundred Qi practitioners, but also included the power of nineteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, including himself.


    This was not a force that could be compared to the simple exercises held previously that could only last for two minutes.


    The skill he had just used was the Sky Tree Spirit Light Technique from the Immortal Longevity Scripture. Powered by the mighty Alpha Wood Soldier, it had evolved into the higher ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± realm.


    In the past, when Chen Mobai first saw ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± on Green Light Island, it was unleashing its mighty power to directly slaughter a Rank-2 demonic beast.


    But now, he could treat ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± as his most ordinary and common attack with the power of the battle array.


    In that moment, the contents of the fourteenth layer of the Immortal Longevity Scripture suddenly flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    This layer detailed not only the completion of the foundation establishment and the formation of a pseudo pill, but also the true secrets of core formation.


    And these were the secrets that Chen Mobai had come to understand.


    All the mysteries of this fourteenth layer became clear to him after he evolved the Alpha Wood Soldier into its ultimate form.


    Currently, in terms of mastery of this cultivation technique, he was on par with Meng Hong.


    If he wished, he could attempt to form a core using the Immortal Longevity Scripture at any time, anywhere.


    However, clearly, he wasn¡¯t unwise enough to do so.


    Chen Mobai suppressed the violently fluctuating Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, and began to focus on controlling the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier that enveloped him.


    With ten fingers spread out, ten beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light streaked across the sky, intertwining into a green net of light in front of the Mountainous Yellow Dragon.


    To this, Ji Dingjin remained undaunted, controlling the fully evolved Yellow Dragon, thick with earth spiritual power, and furiously ramming into it.


    After a burst of radiant green light, a horn of the Mountainous Yellow Dragon broke off and turned into swirling yellow sand falling toward the ground.


    But Ji Dingjin ignored it and once again controlled the Mountainous Yellow Dragon to spew out a column of dark yellow thunder light, carrying a fearsome energy of life destruction, and jetting towards the towering green giant.


    ¡°Wu Earth Divine Thunder!¡±


    But upon seeing this, Chen Mobai smiled. Wood overcomes Earth in the cycle of the Five Elements, so his Yi Wood Divine Thunder was just the countertactic to this Wu Earth Divine Thunder.


    Moreover, since receiving the Empowerment of the Divine Dao Tree, his Yi Wood Divine Thunder had already reached the completed third rank.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unlike Ji Dingjin, who could only reach the third rank through power support.


    Boosted by the power of the Golden Core Stage, Chen Mobai had activated this spell technique to its extreme for the first time.


    A small green light appeared in the palm of the Alpha Wood Soldier, just like a green sun, and instantly burst into a beam of thunder light. Upon contact with the Wu Earth Divine Thunder, the latter could only hold out a moment before being pushed back.


    Half the head of the Mountainous Yellow Dragon had been penetrated by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, and its remains rolled up the dust, shattered the thick clouds, and evaporated everything it touched into nothingness.


    ¡°This feeling¡­it¡¯s somewhat similar to the external incarnation of the All Laws Persona¡­¡±

 Chapter 762 - Chapter 762 Chapter 442 The Fourteenth Layer of the

    Chapter 762: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_5 Chapter 762: Chapter 442: The Fourteenth Layer of the Everlasting Life Sutra (8k))_5 Following this instance, Chen Mobai gained a new understanding of the Alpha Wood Soldier, feeling that the ¡°All Laws Persona¡± might have been invented based on this inspiration.


    However, at this point, he didn¡¯t think much further, his mind focused solely on shattering and eliminating the enormous army led by Ji Dingjin atop the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    After casting the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, he started to deploy spells one by one from the Longevity Sutra.


    These practises he had painfully trained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. However, he had only managed to reach Rank-2 due to the limitations of his cultivation level.


    This time, however, he could leverage the power of the Alpha Wood Soldier and elevate them to Rank-3.


    He pulled out a Rank-2 tree seed from his storage bag, and first opened the signature domain of the Divine Wood Sect. However, in comparison to the colossal form of the Alpha Wood Soldier, the Qingyang Spirit Tree looked like a short stick held in the palm of the giant¡¯s hand.


    At this point, Chen Mobai somewhat regretted not having requested a Rank-3 tree seed from the sect before setting out.


    But a Rank-2 tree seed was almost sufficient enough.


    With a point of his finger, the leaves on the tree seed detached and transformed into Lingye flying swords. They landed on the Mountainous Yellow Dragon that had been heavily damaged by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, stirring up clouds of yellow dust.


    Spells such as the Sacred Tree Divine Light, Wood Arrow Technique, Divine Wood Sword Slash and the like fell one after the other, slicing into the Mountainous Yellow Dragon.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s relentless attacks, Ji Dingjin could no longer withstand it. He changed the formation of the Battle Array once again. Amidst the rolling yellow sands disintegrating, the Yellow Dragon began to transform into mountains.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re out and about, it¡¯s not up to you if you want to retreat!¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw this, his eyes turned cold. He had no intention of dragging this out for too long here.


    A green light point lit up in the giant¡¯s hand again, and the Yi Wood Divine Thunder was once again driven to the apex of Rank-3 by him. The terrifying beam of thunder and lightning exploded, shooting straight into the peaks of the Battle Array¡¯s change, landing on the yet-to-be-mature Mountainous phantasm.


    There was a loud boom!


    As Ji Dingjin¡¯s eyes were about to burst with fury, the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Battle Array began to crumble. The area where the disciples of the sect were located could still hold on due to their long-standing battle array prowess, every other realm and the loose cultivators had already broken up, on the verge of collapsing.


    ¡°Several juniors, quickly go over there and lead the loose cultivators to maintain the changes in the Battle Array¡­¡±


    Ji Dingjin could only send a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak to lead. Simultaneously, Chen Mobai pulled out his Six Yang¡¯s Divine Mirror.


    He had never unleashed all the power of this Rank-3 magic artifact in his hand before.


    Today, he could finally try it.


    Although Alpha Wood Soldier¡¯s spiritual power was mighty and chaotic, it was nevertheless a Golden Core Stage. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s divine guidance, it was ceaselessly poured into his life¡¯s magic artifact.


    Wood of the Five Elements nourishes fire. Fueled by the vast Wood Spirit Power, the Six Yang¡¯s Divine Mirror began to ignite flames of unprecedented brilliance.


    The attack spell of this Rank-3 artifact, ¡°Pure Yang Fire¡±, was now unleashed by Chen Mobai.


    A cluster of pure white flames landed on the mountainous light shield. Powered by the constant Wood Spirit Power, the Pure Yang Fire started escalating, soon setting the entire mountain ablaze.


    ¡°Hold on! The enemy won¡¯t be able to maintain this offense for much longer!¡±


    Ji Dingjin observed this from within the Battle Array; after placing two upper-grade spirit stones into the Array Plate, he could only yell out like this, hoping to once again leverage his disciples¡¯ spiritual power to weather this fierce onslaught.


    It has to be said that being on the defensive is indeed more comfortable than launching an attack.


    Chen Mobai drove the Six Yang¡¯s Divine Mirror to burn the Mountainous light shield to tatters. Still, the momentum of the Shake Mountain did not completely collapse.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the disciples can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡±


    Just at this moment, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s anxious voice reached Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. He looked down to see that not only the more than two thousand Qi practitioners had each of the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment elders were haggard as well, pale and lifeless.


    Chen Mobai, wielding the power of the Alpha Wood Soldier, was having a blast. However, they were being drained as they provided the necessary power for the Battle Array.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost time, after this battle, the Mountain Shaker Peak will not retain the military spirit of today.¡±


    Chen Mobai mentally noted this and then ceased the exertion of the Alpha Wood Soldier and withdrew the Six Yang¡¯s Divine Mirror.


    The green giant began to split up one by one, eventually disappearing into thin air, revealing the over two thousand gasping Qi practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect camp.


    ¡°If there were really ten thousand cultivators supporting me, could I also try using the Power of the Yuan Infant?¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai thought of this.


    However, this would require a Golden Core Cultivator to operate.


    He shook his head, dismissing the impractical thought in his mind and turned to look at the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Without the threat of the Alpha Wood Soldier, the cultivators who had been holding on, not wanting to be wiped out, could no longer sustain themselves.


    After the Mountainous light shield flickered twice, it also completely disintegrated, exposing the likewise feeble army of cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    After a glance at the people around him, Chen Mobai felt that pursuing them now would not be a good idea.


    However, without the interference of the Battle Array, he could finally do something he had been wanting to do.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin, come out and meet your fate!¡±

 Chapter 763 - Chapter 763 Chapter 443 I Come From the Immortal Gate_1

    Chapter 763: Chapter 443: I Come From the Immortal Gate_1 Chapter 763: Chapter 443: I Come From the Immortal Gate_1 In the camp of Mountain Shaker Peak, Ji Dingjin naturally heard Chen Mobai¡¯s challenge for combat.


    If it was before, he would certainly ignore it and act as if it did not happen.


    But now, that was not an option.


    Previously, the two sects collided in battle, and both sides were now exhausted. They could no longer form battle formations in a short period of time, which meant that as long as the commanders of both sides were willing, they could directly enter the battle for close quarters combat.


    But most of the cultivators on both sides were now in a state of weakness. Even though the Divine Wood Sect had more people, Chen Mobai did not seize this opportunity for a major offense.


    ¡°All of you, lead your cultivators and retreat from different directions.¡±


    Ji Dingjin suddenly said this to the Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him. Jiao Shukuan was momentarily taken aback, but Ai Tuo sighed, realizing that their situation was hopeless.


    ¡°I am responsible for our failure in this battle. I will go out and stall them. Whether you can escape or not is up to your own fate.¡±


    The moment Ji Dingjin said this, everyone understood and their faces showed a sadness.


    They had thrived under the protection of Mountain Shaker Peak for hundreds of years but they had not expected it would fall this day.


    Facing danger, every man for himself. Observing Chen Mobai moving towards them amidst clouds of smoke, everyone saluted Ji Dingjin and then quickly assembled their family¡¯s cultivators from the camp.


    Under the threat of life and death, these Qi Practitioners, who were already exhausted, all exploded with a surprising potential. Taking medicinal pills or using secret techniques to boost their spirits, they followed behind their ancestors, mounted Flying Artifacts, and retreated into the depths of Rock Country.


    ¡°Junior brother Ai, take this.¡±


    The last one to leave, Ai Tuo, was stopped by Ji Dingjin, who had already donned his armor, ready to fight his last battle in full gear.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Ai Tuo took the two storage bags handed over by Ji Dingjin, his eyes reddening slightly. He knew that his senior brother in front of him had made up his mind to die.


    ¡°I will deliver these to the sect.¡±


    All Ai Tuo could say was this final sentence before leading the hundreds of cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak, to retreat towards the depths of Rock Country.


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    Chen Mobai, not far away, naturally saw this.


    This was obviously the best choice under such circumstances. If the army of cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak did not retreat now, once the Divine Wood Sect recovered, they might be completely annihilated instead.


    Behind Chen Mobai, Yue Zutao and other Foundation Establishment cultivators also flew over.


    They planned to seize the moment when neither side could form a battle array, to decisively defeat their opponent.


    ¡°Do you need me to lead a group to chase and kill first?¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, eager to try, asked. He had cultivated a Taoist body of longevity, and his recovery speed was very fast. Had it not been for the use of Spirit Stones, he would have recovered six or seven percent of his spiritual power by now.


    ¡°The opponent is scattered and running away, I¡¯m afraid we can only choose a part of them to annihilate.¡±


    Yue Zutao watched the various Flying Boat Artifacts taking off and fleeing in all directions from the enemy camp, and frowned slightly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush. Let them run for a while. Wait until our cultivators have nearly recovered their spiritual power and then lead the big army to sweep them all. At that time, under absolute power, we can uproot each and every market and clan in Rock Country.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, shook his head. Now was when the desire for survival was most intense among the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak. If the army of the Divine Wood Sect pressed and chased them at this moment, they might launch an unprecedented counterattack.


    ¡°In that case, we have to guard against the enemy regrouping at the rear, forming a battle formation again and causing us trouble. It¡¯s better for a few of us to follow them. If we detect such signs, we can immediately gather a large army to crush them.¡±


    Yue Zutao too was very skilled in the use of battle arrays and he quickly pointed out the most critical issue.


    If the fleeing cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak were reorganized by someone and once again formed a battle array blocking their way, even if they could break through it again, they would have wasted a lot of time.


    ¡°Great. Brother Zhou, please lead the team.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai felt that the point was valid and had Zhou Wangshen, who was the most energetic besides himself, to lead the remaining sect Foundation Establishment practitioners to follow the largest fleeing group from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    ¡°Remember to maintain contact and don¡¯t be ambushed by the enemy.¡±


    Seeing them leave, Chen Mobai reminded them.


    His painstakingly created Heavenly Communication Device would be most useful in this pursuit.


    Boom!


    Just as Zhou Wangshen was about to lead them on, a thick Black Mace struck down at them from mid-air.


    With a ¡°clang¡± sound, Chen Mobai pulled out a dark green shield from his storage bag and blocked Ji Dingjin¡¯s attack.

    ¡°The cowardly tortoise is finally willing to come out.¡±


    Chen Mobai sneered and deployed the Ground Firelight Escape, landing opposite Ji Dingjin.


    Seeing him take action, Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t bother to continue attacking, but could only watch as Zhou Wangshen and his men flew past him chasing the fleeing cultivators of Rock Country and Sky Country.


    ¡°I should have killed you back then.¡±


    Looking at the young man who seemed excessively youthful in front of him, Ji Dingjin sighed deeply, his face full of regret.

 Chapter 764 - Chapter 764 Chapter 443 I Come From the Immortal Sect_2

    Chapter 764: Chapter 443 I Come From the Immortal Sect_2 Chapter 764: Chapter 443 I Come From the Immortal Sect_2 ¡°Stop flattering yourself, you¡¯ve never had the chance to kill me, nor do you have the power.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, rebutting Ji Dingjin¡¯s words.


    ¡°Hmph, if I was willing to stake my life back then, you wouldn¡¯t have had a chance to escape.¡±


    As Ji Dingjin said these words, he swallowed a blood-red pill, and then his entire body¡¯s aura suddenly exploded, and his whole body started to burn like wild flames. Coupled with his reddish armour, he resembled a blood-flame war god, overbearing and intimidating.


    ¡°Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise.


    If his senses weren¡¯t wrong, Ji Dingjin had surpassed the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment. Although it still fell short of controlling the Battle Array, the aura he exudes was that of the Core Formation stage.


    ¡°I made a secret attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage in my past, but unfortunately, my Divine Sense was flawed, and I failed right before near success. But if I¡¯m willing to bet this life of mine, I can still invoke the power of the Gold Core that I retained back then.¡±


    As Ji Dingjin spoke, his entire aura had completely exploded. He lifted the Black Mace in his hand and smashed it down heavily towards Chen Mobai.


    It was like a colossal black column aiming to smash the skies, carrying a terrible force that twisted the void and created a storm of wind and clouds.


    A spark flashed in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, and two Divine Slashes burst out. Unfortunately, this move had already been used against Ji Dingjin before, so the latter was prepared. Even his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Mansion couldn¡¯t be penetrated, hindered by a mysterious force.


    The Black Mace came crashing down, and Chen Mobai¡¯s figure transformed into a flaming inferno.


    Using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, Chen Mobai had already landed behind Ji Dingjin. He pulled out Jin Yu Axe from his storage bag, poured in a tremendous amount of spiritual power, and slashed heavily on Ji Dingjin¡¯s helmet.


    With a crisp clang sound!


    Chen Mobai felt as if his axe had hit steel, causing his wrist to ache severely.


    However, this top-tier Rank-2 Magic Artifact was extraordinary. Ji Dingjin¡¯s helmet was hacked by the axe, creating a deep gash.


    Unfortunately, there was a layer of soft armour and a layer of energy armour under the helmet.


    The Jin Yu Axe, after slashing through three layers of defence and facing Ji Dingjin¡¯s flesh body that had been trained to the extreme of Rank-2, finally gave out and was subsequently seized by one giant black hand.


    Chen Mobai tried to pull back his Jin Yu Axe, but it was stuck firmly.


    Ji Dingjin turned his head, and the Black Mace came crashing down again.


    The Divine Wood Shield flew out once more, emitting a thick green light as it collided forcefully with the Black Mace.


    This Divine Wood Sect¡¯s artifact was made with Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Wood, renowned for its toughness and defence.


    But Ji Dingjin¡¯s realm was a notch higher than Chen Mobai¡¯s. His eyes bulged with fury as he lifted the Black Mace, unleashing a powerful martial technique.


    The Black Mace whipped around like a raging sandstorm, striking the Divine Wood Shield hundreds of times in an extremely short time.


    Bang!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face changed as he saw the spiritual power of the Divine Wood Shield being depleted. His Divine Sense within the artifact felt like it had been hammered, causing a mild pain in his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Without forcing a struggle, he simply withdrew his Divine Sense from the Divine Wood Shield. The Black Mace then struck unresisted, forcefully sending the Divine Wood Shield flying.


    But Chen Mobai had already taken advantage of this time to use Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, quickly avoiding the danger.


    ¡°Kid, today I¡¯ll show you the unique technique of my Mountain Shaker Peak, the Void Law Body!¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s voice suddenly echoed next to Chen Mobai¡¯s ear. Caught by surprise, Chen Mobai triggered a Spirit Leaf Talisman from Elder Zhou.


    With a loud bang, Chen Mobai felt as if he had been hit and sent flying like a baseball, the Elemental Energy around him going chaotic.


    But he also saw how Ji Dingjin had teleported to his side.


    He saw his opponent. Half of Ji Dingjin¡¯s body was still in its original position, but the other half had entered a pitch-black crack and appeared behind him.


    ¡°Void Law Body? Can it control the void to teleport one¡¯s flesh body!¡±


    Chen Mobai found it hard to believe, but then he promptly remembered the Netherworld Mansion¡¯s Underworld Array he had encountered on the Lonely Spirit Ridge, which seemed to employ a similar principle.


    In the realm of cultivators, only after reaching the Gold Core Realm can one achieve this feat.


    And Ji Dingjin, merely at the Fake Core Realm, could also do this!?


    Is this what the Void Law Body is?!


    Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye, tracking Ji Dingjin¡¯s next move. He saw the right hand gripping the Black Mace suddenly disappear from its place as if devoured by a black rift.


    But amidst the chilling howl, the Black Mace had already appeared above Chen Mobai¡¯s head, and was smashing straight towards his forehead.


    And the hand gripping the Black Mace was emerging from a pitch-black crevice.


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth and spouted out the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, the cyan and green light directly confronting the Black Mace, causing a terrifying surge of spiritual energy.


    Simultaneously, Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand opened the cap of the Yellow Skin Gourd tied around his waist.


    Orange colored rays sprawled out, coiling towards the black hand holding the mace.


    But Ji Dingjin very agilely retracted his hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The crevice in the void disappeared, and Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword Evil Slash missed.


    He glanced to his right, and another black crevice appeared. Ji Dingjin¡¯s body had passed through, and with his blood churning, he charged straight towards Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± wasn¡¯t of high enough grade to block the attack.


    All he could do was fight while retreating, trying to see if he could use the Sword Sha to deliver a fatal strike to his opponent.


    However, Ji Dingjin, having witnessed the deaths of Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi firsthand, was extremely wary of the Sword Sha. Even with confidence in his triple-layer protection and his flesh body, he dared not confront it head-on.

 Chapter 765 - Chapter 765 Chapter 443 I Come From the Fairy Gate _3

    Chapter 765: Chapter 443 I Come From the Fairy Gate _3 Chapter 765: Chapter 443 I Come From the Fairy Gate _3 Chen Mobai had never anticipated that his exchange with Ji Dingjin would turn out to be even more challenging than his bout with Pei Qingshuang.


    He had no idea what kind of elixir this man had consumed, burning his last bit of vital energy, and propelling his realm almost to the level of Core Formation.


    In such a state, the astonishing power of the Void Law Body began to manifest.


    Had Chen Mobai not possessed the six-yang divine fire mirror for protection, rich experience in Magic Duels, and a variety of Rank-3 techniques on hand, he might not have been able to match Ji Dingjin.


    [His state cannot sustain itself. If I can just extend this, victory will be mine.]


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, Ji Dingjin let out a furious roar. The Battle Armor on his body shattered suddenly, arranging itself into a mysterious formation.


    Caught off guard, Chen Mobai found himself trapped within it.


    While he could still use the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, he was unable to traverse beyond the boundaries of this formation.


    ¡°I told you, I¡¯ll use my life to take yours!¡±


    Ji Dingjin, overcome with excitement now that he had finally trapped Chen Mobai, ripped off one of his own arms, which transformed into a cloud of blood and merged into the Battle Armor¡¯s sealing formation.


    From the outside, it looked as if a huge black sphere had enveloped both of them.


    A surprised Luo Yixuan was about to use the Alpha Wood Soldiers to assist, but Yue Zutao¡¯s attempts had already proved unable to affect the black sphere.


    Inside the sphere, Chen Mobai released a Green Flames Sword Slaughter. Although it caused a huge distortion in the sphere, it was still incapable of breaking the formation.


    He took a short Teleportation Talisman out of his storage bag, but it was useless.


    ¡°After you escaped using the Escape Sky Talisman last time, I kept wondering how to kill you completely, and here¡¯s my answer. Like I said, I¡¯ll use my life to take yours!¡±


    At this moment, Ji Dingjin¡¯s complexion was pale, his skin wrinkling like tree bark, yet his eyes shone with unprecedented brightness. His vitality, too, erupted to an unprecedentedly vigorous state.


    His hands grasped into the air, then moved together towards his chest.


    The black sphere enclosing them began to contract. Chen Mobai felt the pressure increasing around him, a trace of blood seeping from his nose.


    If the black sphere were to fully contract to a point, he and Ji Dingjin would both be obliterated.


    ¡°Is this all the strength you have left?¡±


    As Chen Mobai eyed Ji Dingjin, who had now discarded his fear of dying, the rotating Primordial Yang Sword Evil had already circled Ji Dingjin¡¯s neck once.


    But an invisible burst of vital energy actually deflected the Primordial Yang Sword Evil away.


    This overwhelming power made Chen Mobai feel as if he were facing a real-life Gold Core cultivator.


    His face slightly solemn, he pondered the dilemma at hand.


    Should he ignite a Green Flames Sword Slaughter?


    Or use the Ten Thousand Swords¡¯ Law Body to activate the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation?


    Or should he¡­.


    Just when Ji Dingjin was feeling triumphant, a purple light suddenly flew out of Chen Mobai¡¯s storage bag. It looked like a purple dragon, mirroring the leaps of purple lightning!


    ¡°I might as well take this opportunity to test your power.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai grasped the Purple Electric Sword.


    This Rank-4 Fairy Sect artifact immediately revealed its full power, establishing a perfect resonance with Chen Mobai¡¯s will, reaching the supreme realm that every Sword Cultivator dreams of: ¡°Clear Heart of Sword, Unifying Man and Sword.¡±


    [Master, this opponent is a little weak, but we still can¡¯t skimp on a piece of superior Spirit Stone.]


    After fusing with Chen Mobai, the Purple Electric Sword sensed Ji Dingjin¡¯s aura and made an upfront statement.


    ¡°What sword is that?¡±


    Ji Dingjin also realized something was not right. Upon the appearance of the flickering purple longsword, the initially stable black sphere suddenly started to tremble.


    His fingers, controlling the sealing formation, shattered one by one into bloody chunks.


    At this point, Chen Mobai had approached him. He swung the longsword in his hand, gently striking towards Ji Dingjin who, having merged with the formation, was unable to move a bit.


    Outside!


    An eyeful of dazzling purple lightning caught the ones who were anxiously attacking the black sphere, such as Yue Zutao, by surprise.


    Inside the sphere, Ji Dingjin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    Chen Mobai raised the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, a look of satisfaction flickering across his face.


    ¡°What.. what sword is this?¡±


    Ji Dingjin asked again, coughing up blood in the process. His body had already been split in half by the Purple Electric Sword, but the arduous vitality of a Body cultivator allowed him to hold on to his last breaths.


    ¡°The sword that will kill you!¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. If possible, he didn¡¯t want to reveal a Rank-4 sword artifact in the Eastern Wilderness. If it wasn¡¯t for these perfect circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t use it at all.


    ¡°So powerful¡­Even the Mixed Yuan Ancestor didn¡¯t have such a Flying Sword¡­which Hidden World Major Sect¡­are you the heir of?¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s life energy was getting weaker, but he was still struggling, yearning for an answer.


    ¡°I have no reason to oblige you.¡±


    Chen Mobai put away the Purple Electric Sword and carefully removed the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his hair. Leaving the dead Ji Dingjin to be found with the Flying Sword was the aim.


    ¡°I can give you¡­the incantation¡­of the Void Law Body¡­¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was preparing to divide Ji Dingjin into more parts with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, the latter proposed a condition that piqued Chen Mobai¡¯s interest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it were before, he wouldn¡¯t have been interested in the Void Law Body technique. Yet, having seen Ji Dingjin physically cross the void, he figured this Body Training Technique might aid him in opening up the Gold Core Domain.


    ¡°In that case, as a worthy adversary, I shall grant you an answer.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a nod of approval. Ji Dingjin, who was only left with a few last breaths, didn¡¯t waste any time. His remaining divine sense surged out, directly imprinting the Void Law Body technique onto Chen Mobai.


    Following this, Ji Dingjin received an answer that left him wide-eyed and enlightened.


    ¡°I hail from the Fairy Sect!¡±

 Chapter 766 - Chapter 766 Chapter 444 Battle results (7k)_1

    Chapter 766: Chapter 444 Battle results (7k)_1 Chapter 766: Chapter 444 Battle results (7k)_1 Ji Dingjin was certainly aware of the reputation of the Longevity Sect.


    This was a holy land inherited from ancient times, in its thriving period, a true monarch of the Divinity Transformation level ruled over every generation.


    He had long heard that a part of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s inheritance came from the Longevity Sect, but he never expected that the separated Divine Wood Sect would grasp such a vast opportunity.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the way it is¡­ Could I perhaps ask you for one thing¡­¡±


    Ji Dingjin felt his consciousness begin to blur, he knew that his divine sense was collapsing and he was about to move towards complete death. With his final strength, he spoke out.


    ¡°Speak, but I can¡¯t promise to agree.¡±


    The current Ji Dingjin had no grounds to bargain with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If possible¡­ after annihilating¡­ Mountain Shaker Peak, please pass down¡­ our sect¡¯s cultivation technique¡­¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, they deal with enemies brutally; the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak have waged continuous wars, with no other path except fighting to the death.


    After Ji Dingjin was cut in half by the Purple Electric Sword, he understood the slim chance of his sect¡¯s victory. Therefore, just before his death, he wanted to leave a legacy for his sect.


    Even if all the cultivators of the Mountain Shaker Peak were eventually killed, he hoped that in the future, their sect¡¯s cultivation techniques could be passed down within the Divine Wood Sect and be remembered by future generations in some way. He desired that people remember that there was once a sect called Mountain Shaker Peak in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°This should be doable.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. The Divine Wood Sect had several body forging techniques, but the topmost one was ¡°Longevity Taoist Body¡±.


    During his previous confrontation with Mountain Shaker Peak, he had taken the earth attribute top tier ¡°Nine Lengths Law Body¡± from Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s storage bag. Now, he had obtained the ¡°Void Law Body¡± from Ji Dingjin.


    These were two of the three most formidable body forging techniques from Mountain Shaker Peak. The Divine Wood Sect would undoubtedly use these to supplement their cultivation inheritance.


    Hearing this, Ji Dingjin¡¯s gaze entirely dispersed, and he took his last breath.


    Standing before his body that was split in two by the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was silent for a moment. Then, holding the Flying Sparrow hairpin at his fingertip, he slashed lightly.


    Outside!


    The seemingly unbreakable black sphere entirely collapsed in the eyes of Yue Zutao and the others.


    Revealing the decapitated and broken body of Ji Dingjin, and Chen Mobai who had just beheaded his opponent with a single sword stroke.


    ¡°Bury him here.¡±


    Seeing the faces of the Divine Wood Sect members coming over with intense reverence, Chen Mobai coolly flicked the Flying Sparrow hairpin on his finger, then burned it from inside to outside with flames.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Li Yixian immediately nodded, then took out his puppet from his storage bag. He instructed it to dig a grave while retrieving tools to stitch Ji Dingjin¡¯s corpse.


    ¡°How¡¯s the pursuit by Brother Zhou going?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he accepted the white handkerchief handed by Luo Yixuan, carefully cleaned the Flying Sparrow hairpin, then tucked it back into his high ponytail.


    ¡°Although the forces of Mountain Shaker Peak dispersed and fled in every direction, Brother Zhou and the others managed to catch up to the flying boat carrying 200 cultivators of the Jiao family.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, the cultivators of the Jiao family timely abandoned their boat and scattered. After their dispersal, Zhou Brother and his party were delayed by Jiao Shukuan.¡±


    ¡°Although we killed this Peak Master of the Mountain Shaker Peak, we only managed to kill dozens of Jiao family¡¯s cultivators in the subsequent pursuit. Our achievements aren¡¯t significant.¡±


    With the convenience offered by the mobile phone, Yue Zutao quickly reported Zhou Wangshen¡¯s latest battle results.


    ¡°Distribute five spirit stones to each of our Qi Practitioners. We will march the day after tomorrow, advance into the Rock Country, and aim to attack Mountain Shaker Peak as soon as possible.¡±


    Having heard that, Chen Mobai issued an order. Yue Zutao nodded in agreement and proceeded to carry it out.


    After the Divine Wood Sect distributed an extra five spirit stones, the disciples who were sitting on the ground looking tired, refreshed at once.


    This was particularly true for the loose cultivators.


    If they were at a disadvantage in battle, they would run faster than anyone.


    But if they were at an advantage and about to pursue their enemy and seize war spoils, they would be more enthusiastic than anyone.


    In fact, the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t have to mobilize. After receiving the bonus spirit stones, the loose cultivators took out the Spirit Revitalizing Pills marketed before the battle to consume, striving to be in the best state when they set out for the pursuit, so they wouldn¡¯t miss out on the war spoils.


    The next day, Zhou Wangshen reported good news via mobile phone.


    They had chased down three huge flying boats, marked with the insignia of Mountain Shaker Peak, carrying what should be the elite disciples of the Peak.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unfortunately, when Zhou Wangshen and his team planned to attack, they discovered that there were four Foundation Establishment cultivators aboard the boats, one of them was Ai Tuo, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and one of the nine Peak Masters of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    After a skirmish between the two sides, if it weren¡¯t for Zhou Wangshen and his party, comprised of cultivators with deep cultivation levels, and the exhaustion of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s cultivators which resulted in several flaws in their battle array, and the convenience of mobile communication to timely call for assistance from three Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators near them, they might have had a hard time getting out of the debacle.


    ¡°I will take my team and go there first, Elder Brother Yuan, please come with me. This place can be left to Brother Yue.¡±


    After hearing that, Chen Mobai felt that he couldn¡¯t let go of these elites of Mountain Shaker Peak and made a prompt decision.


    While Luo Yixuan and Li Yixian went outside to account for their own team¡¯s cultivators, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and contacted Zhou Wangshen¡¯s party ahead, issuing new instructions.

 Chapter 767 - Chapter 767 Chapter 444 Battlefield Achievements (7k)_2

    Chapter 767: Chapter 444 Battlefield Achievements (7k)_2 Chapter 767: Chapter 444 Battlefield Achievements (7k)_2 ¡°Yes, we will follow them from behind, launching surprise attacks from time to time, making sure they can only survive by sticking together. If they choose to cut off their losses and scatter, we assure most of the Qi Practitioners will be slaughtered.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen also shared his own battle plan, which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement to.


    ¡­


    Mid-air, Ai Tuo stood on the Flying Boat, looking coldly at the six figures that were faintly visible in the distance.


    By his side were three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak, some looking miserable, some full of hatred.


    ¡°Senior brother, should we really do this?¡±


    An elder from Shake Mountain Peak next to Ai Tuo asked hesitantly.


    ¡°This is a great opportunity. If we retreat now, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army will push forward, possibly even laying siege to our headquarters.¡±


    ¡°Though the power of our sect¡¯s Formation could block the advance of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army, it would also expose our spiritual vein land to the enemy¡¯s attacks. If the Divine Wood Sect decides to use the Bead that Breaks Meridians, our own Formation would instead become a prison trapping us.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why the Deputy Sect Master planned to hold the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army at the border. Now that it¡¯s impossible, we have to at minimum delay their forces to buy time for our reinforcements.¡±


    ¡°The best method is to seize this opportunity to eliminate all advancing Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    After Ai Tuo coldly laid out his plan, the three Shake Mountain Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him also made up their minds to follow his lead.


    ¡°But the people from the Divine Wood Sect are just following us from a distance, not being overzealous. How can we lure them in for the kill?¡±


    Someone raised their doubts, to which Ai Tuo responded with a cold smile, indicating that he had a plan.


    At night.


    Zhou Wangshen suddenly noticed the rapidly flying Flying Boat in front of him fall towards the ground. To his surprise, the 300 Qi Practitioners from Shake Mountain Peak began to scatter and flee.


    ¡°Damn it, those cowards know if they keep dragging this out until our main force arrives, they¡¯re doomed to be annihilated. So they¡¯re cutting losses and trying to save as many as possible.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Zhenwu¡¯s expression instantly changed, and he immediately set off to pursue.


    ¡°Wait, they¡¯re fleeing too fast, let¡¯s report this first.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen shared Chen Zhenwu¡¯s sentiments, but thought he had enough time to make a call. So, to be on the safe side, he picked up his phone.


    ¡°I should be able to get there in about an hour. You guys just pursue and attack the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak. Compared to Qi Practitioners, taking them down yields a greater reward. I¡¯ll have Yuan Feihu and his team support you, trying to capture these elite forces from the Shake Mountain Peak in one go.¡±


    After receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s orders, Zhou Wangshen confidently led his five-member team to pursue Ai Tuo and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let them escape!¡±


    Along with a shout, the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators started fighting.


    Ai Tuo, who held the highest cultivation level and had a Rank-2 Taoist body, held off Zhou Wangshen¡¯s trio with his own power. Retreating while fighting, he shielded his fellow disciples¡¯ withdrawal.


    The ten streams of spiritual light sporadically erupted in the dark night sky. The energy of the natural world was in upheaval, with thunderous roars and gusty winds from time to time, accompanied by the clashing of metal, creating a thunderous noise.


    As the fight progressed, Zhou Wangshen and the others were also gradually losing face.


    Unable to overwhelm him three to one, especially Zhou Wangshen who always prided himself on being a prodigy capable of challenging those levels above him, he was unable to get the upper hand against Ai Tuo, which left him feeling frustrated.


    Pushing his spiritual power to the limit, he wielded a golden spear. As the spear swung, it seemed like a dazzling meteor flashing through the night sky. A single thrust was akin to the bloom of Venus.


    Meanwhile, Liang Lingzhen, standing on the back of a Rank-2 Qinghong Bird, wielded a green feather fan in his hand. With a wind blade from his fan and the support of his spirit beast, it was like a thousand blades were flying in the air, accompanying Zhou Wangshen.


    Ai Tuo, gripping a Bronze Hammer, directly confronted Zhou Wangshen¡¯s golden spear. The clash of weapons caused Zhou Wangshen¡¯s hand to bleed and his body to retreat. However, due to the mysterious power of his Taoist Body, the blood reversed flow and the wound healed quickly.


    The thousands of wind blades struck Ai Tuo¡¯s armor, leaving marks, but failed to completely penetrate his defense.


    Another stream of purple flames was shot forth that seized an opportunity to directly bomb towards Ai Tuo¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows.


    In the midst of a loud rumble, a splendid purplish-red flame turned into a massive fireball in the sky, enveloping Ai Tuo.


    Clutching his spear, Zhou Wangshen charged again. As expected, the smoky Ai Tuo burst out of the fireball, and the two were engaged in combat once more.

    The golden spear and bronze hammer clashed, casting sparks like stars, illuminating the night sky.


    Under the joint attack of the three, Ai Tuo was finally unable to hold on and started to retreat while fighting.


    And the rest of the combat involving the cultivators of the two sects also moved along with these four men.


    Soon, they reached a deserted mountain bathed in spiritual energy.


    Zhou Wangshen, who had already entered a fiery combat mode, did not give it a second thought, only to see Ai Tuo reveal a satisfied smile, loudly laughing as he once again unleashed powerful spiritual power to push back the three of them.

 Chapter 768 - Chapter 768 Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_3

    Chapter 768: Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_3 Chapter 768: Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_3 ¡°Junior brothers, form up!¡±


    Along with Ai Tuo¡¯s shout, Zhou Wangshen felt something wrong and halted to retreat.


    But it was already too late.


    Beneath them, yellow sand burst from the barren mountain as a hidden formation was revealed, exposing two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators along with two hundred elite disciples of the Shake Mountain, already arranged in a formation.


    ¡°Damn it, they are two other Nine Peaks Masters of Shake Mountain!¡±


    Zhou Wangshen¡¯s face drained of color at the sight of the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. He quickly called Liang Lingzhen and the others back to his side, and under the command of Zuo Hongqiu, they stood in a simple Six Unities formation to defend themselves while retreating.


    However, the experts of Shake Mountain, who had been waiting for them, had planned this all along.


    The dense yellow sand rose into the sky, quickly spreading and enveloping them. Then the Fixed Mountain Battle Array was deployed, trapping them inside.


    ¡°Today, as long as we can kill you six, this battle will not be a failure.¡±


    In the cold laughter of Ai Tuo, he descended into the Fixed Mountain Battle Array below.


    During their retreat, he had already thought of this strategy. If they could seize the opportunity of the enemy¡¯s advancement to eliminate a portion of the top cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, they could at least delay their progress.


    Especially Zhou Wangshen; the direct descendent of Zhou Shengqing and a genius touted to have the hope of reaching the Core Formation.


    Being able to kill him would greatly boost the morale of Shake Mountain.


    ¡°Junior brothers, take action. I¡¯ll recover some spiritual power first. If we can kill Zhou Wangshen, it would also be a significant achievement in the eyes of our ancestor.¡±


    On this path, Ai Tuo had been luring the enemy in, fighting three enemies alone, risking his life at the cost of approximately seventy percent of his spiritual power.


    With victory at hand, he became more cautious, fearing that Zhou Wangshen and the others might attempt to take him down with them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, elder brother. With the power of the battle array, Ji and I will quickly kill them. You may not even need to make a move, hahaha!¡±


    The two Peak Masters of Shake Mountain who had led their disciples in ambush here laughed heartily. Along with the remaining Foundation Establishment elders and Qi Cultivation disciples, they activated the Transformation of the Dragon in the battle array. Although it could only form two Yellow Sand Pythons due to a shortage of cultivators, it could still exert the power of a complete Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I will be there in fifteen minutes. Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin are nearby and should almost be there. Hold on for a bit longer.¡±


    In the meantime, Zhou Wangshen had informed Chen Mobai about the situation through a phone call. The latter promptly informed the nearby Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators and took the lead in leaving the large group, using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape to rush to the barren mountain.


    In the dark night sky, two enormous Yellow Sand Pythons coiled around and moved towards the six cultivators who had formed their formation.


    A Rank-2 tree seed planted and grew, as Zhou Wangshen and the others activated their Domain Expansion, injecting their Spiritual Power into the Qingyang Spirit Tree. With the combined effort of the six, they strenuously gathered half a dose of ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±.


    The clear pillar of light shot up into the sky, splitting one of the Yellow Sand Giant Pythons in half. However, another Yellow Sand Python took advantage of the situation and struck right in front of Zhou Wangshen and his group.


    A huge translucent Qingyange lingye leaf emerged in mid-air, and even though it cracked under the violent impact, it managed to block the attack.


    However, at this moment, the Yellow Sand Python that was cut by the Sacred Tree Divine Light had already reformed. Although it was much smaller, it still erupted with a spiritual power fluctuation that terrified them.


    Two Yellow Sand Pythons rose up with a chilling killing aura and attacked Zhou Wangshen and his group once again.


    There was a crisp sound of ¡°crash!¡±


    It sounded like a bowstring being pulled or a piano string being played; a dazzling golden arrow lit up from the distant horizon, bringing with it radiant golden light. Like a comet streaking across the sky, it penetrated the head of a Yellow Sand Python.


    A strand of golden flame began to burn atop the Yellow Sand Python¡¯s head, forcing Shake Mountain¡¯s Foundation Establishment cultivator to change the battle array into the Fixed Mountain transformation, forming a mountain range to barely suppress the golden arrow that was wreaking havoc within their formation.


    Even so, six or seven Shake Mountain disciples inside the formation had been pierced by the arrow and turned into corpses.


    ¡°It¡¯s Yuan Feihu¡¯s Golden Sun Arrow!¡±


    Seeing this, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s face lit up with joy. Yuan Feihu, the final trick of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Artifact Refining Division, was the bow and arrow made from Golden Yang Wood. After being blessed by the Talisman Division, it could release a terrifying force almost equivalent to a Rank-3 with one shot.


    Luckily, he was nearby this time. Once Chen Mobai informed him, he immediately shot the arrow from a distance to save them at the cost of a large amount of elemental energy.

    At the same time, Hong Lingqin also arrived. After hesitating for a while, she still rushed into the Sacred Tree Divine Light Formation.


    With the addition of one more person, the Qingyang Spirit Tree, which was about to collapse under the pressure of the Yellow Sand Python, suddenly lit up with a spiritual light, condensing another half dose of the Sacred Tree Divine Light.


    Unfortunately, the power of this half-dose Sacred Tree Divine Light was much weaker than before, it only managed to repel the Yellow Sand Python.


    ¡°Hold on just a little more, my junior brothers. I will take a Recovery Pill, and after a quarter of an hour, my breathing should be back to normal.¡±


    Seeing this, Ai Tuo was puzzled as to why the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s two other Foundation Establishment cultivators could arrive at such an opportune time, but there was no time to ponder this further.

 Chapter 769 - Chapter 769 Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_4

    Chapter 769: Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_4 Chapter 769: Chapter 444 Battle Results (7k)_4 However, to avoid any further complications, he had resorted to taking a golden-red pill. Even if it meant he would be weak for two years afterwards, his priority was to swiftly slay the likes of Zhou Wangshen.


    After getting the warning from Ai Tuo, the two other Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Mountain Shaker Peak no longer sought to take all the credit themselves. Instead, they executed their Battle Array¡¯s trapping transformation, with the two Yellow Sand Giant Pythons dispersing and forming a yellow mountain range, subjugating and encapsulating Zhou Wangshen and the others who were beneath the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Unexpectedly, their actions seemed to bring delight to the faces of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    On the far side, Yuan Feihu who had a pallid complexion retrieved a Golden Sun Arrow and a Qingyang Arrow. If he were to fire another Golden Sun Arrow, his spiritual power would be completely depleted, and it was even possible that he might lose control and sustain damage to his core.


    However, if it were a Qingyang Arrow, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems.


    He was already mentally prepared¨Cif he really had to use the Golden Sun Arrow again, he would not hesitate to do so.


    All he hoped for now, was to buy some time until Chen Mobai arrived.


    As time ticked away, the look of delight on both sides grew increasingly pronounced.


    A quarter of an hour quickly passed.


    Ai Tuo, who had been meditating with his eyes closed atop the desolate mountain, suddenly opened his eyes. He gave a hearty laugh, stepped out, and descended into the Battle Array formed by the Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators.


    With him as the backbone, the power of the Mountain and River Dragon Transformation aggregated within his body. An even larger Yellow Sand Giant Python hovered in the night sky, looking down upon the seven puny men beneath the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°Your deaths are just the beginning. I believe we will be the ultimate victors in this war.¡±


    Ai Tuo, possessing the mighty power of the Battle Array, his eyes icy yet his tone zealous, conveyed his final decree to Zhou Wangshen and his compatriots.


    But, much to his surprise, faced with death, not a single Divine Wood Sect cultivator showed fear or hesitation.


    All of them appeared normal, some even with confidence!


    Since when did this happen?


    Could it be that none of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators fear death?


    Or have they already prepared to sacrifice themselves for their Sect?


    Though Ai Tuo couldn¡¯t understand, it did not deter him from controlling the daunting power of the Yellow Sand Giant Python, opening its large mouth and shooting a curtain of yellow lightning towards the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    At this moment, the Wu Tu Divine Thunder launched!


    Once this rank-3 power descended, Zhou Wangshen and his counterparts below the Qingyang Spirit Tree would be reduced to dust.


    Even if Yuan Feihu released another Golden Sun Arrow, it would not be able to hold back the onslaught.


    [All of you will die!]


    Ai Tuo, in his bitter resolve, spurred the Battle Array¡¯s power once more, magnifying the Spiritual Light of Wu Tu¡¯s Divine Thunder!


    The hum of electricity filled the air!


    However, at that moment, a resonance of thunder, one that Ai Tuo was all too familiar with, echoed from the distance and quickly reached his ears.


    The avian-like rumble of thunder brought back the horrifying memories of what Ai Tuo had just recently experienced.


    The fearsome memory soon turned into reality¨Ca brilliant azure thunderbolt javelin, thrown from the right hand of a handsome youth, accurately landed on the foremost tip of the Wu Tu¡¯s Divine Thunder that was vomited out by the Yellow Sand Giant Python.


    With a boom, the dark yellow cylinder of lightning collapsed.


    The brilliant azure thunderbolt, on the other hand, continued with its momentum, piercing through the head of the Yellow Sand Giant Python.


    In the deafening roar of thunder, the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Battle Array was nearly completely shattered.


    [This is impossible!]


    Ai Tuo, in the midst of feeling numb and severe pain as if struck by thunder, widened his eyes in disbelief while looking at a handsome youth who was step by step approaching, from the distant horizon engulfed in flames, and practically within moments arrived in front of Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°How¡­ How can you be here so quickly?¡±


    Ai Tuo thought that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect might have detected his strategy. For this reason, he had been restoring his spiritual power at the fastest speed, hoping for a swift battle resolution.


    However, it seemed like the other side had already seen through his strategy. It was as if Zhou Wangshen and the others were bait, waiting for him to lead the last group of elite cultivators of the Mountain Shaker Peak into their trap.


    ¡°I came as soon as I got the notification. The distance wasn¡¯t too far,¡± Chen Mobai casually remarked. He then uncapped the yellow skin gourd around his waist.


    Orange lights shot out, effortlessly tearing through the last thin layer of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s battle array¡¯s light shield protecting Ai Tuo¡¯s neck.


    ¡°I failed my Sect!¡±


    Regret was written all over Ai Tuo¡¯s face as he met his demise.


    The people here could be considered half of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s strength. If all of them were to be lost here, not even requiring the Divine Wood Sect to act, Mountain Shaker Peak could be potentially relegated from its position amongst the East Wilderness Major Sects.


    But it was too late for regret now.


    A thin line of blood appeared on his neck. His head, carrying an expression of regret, fell to the ground, blood staining the earth.


    After having severed one neck, the orange light controlled by Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense made another sweep over the necks of the remaining five foundation establishment cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Be it late or mid Foundation Establishment, all fell to the ground, blood spurting furiously and heads rolling, as the sound of gurgling filled the air.


    ¡°All of you¡­ run¡­¡± With his last breath, Ai Tuo, who had been decapitated, appealed to the two hundred Qi practitioners of Mountain Shaker Peak, horror etched on their faces.


    Yet, these cultivators had not fully recovered their spiritual power due to Ji Dingjin¡¯s Transformation of the Dragon, and their arrays had been broken by Chen Mobai, all of them were practically drained of spiritual power.


    Even if they wished to escape, where could they go under such relentless pursuit by these Foundation Establishment cultivators?


    Even so, some held strong desires to survive; they swallowed pills, toughened their teeth, called upon their flight spells and scattered off into the wilderness at night.


    As long as they dispersed enough, out of their two hundred people, there would certainly be a few who could escape.


    Harbouring such thoughts, one after another, these Qi practitioners struggled to their feet, choosing a direction without a backward glance, they plunged into the gloom of the wilderness.


    ¡°Kill as many of them as you can.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a command, put away his Primordial Yang Sword Evil into his yellow skin gourd. Those that survived, like Zhou Wangshen and others, expressed their gratitude to him.


    Chen then glanced at the storage bags on the bodies of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak who had perished, and started chasing after those fleeing Qi practitioners with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.


    Soon, only Chen Mobai was left at the site.


    According to the rules of the Eastern Wilderness, whomever does the killing is the owner of the loot.


    It was clear that the storage bags of Ai Tuo and others now belonged to him.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ai Tuo, the Peak Master of Breaking Sky Peak from Mountain Shaker, organized a counter-ambush with a group of cultivators on his way back. Although they pinned down Junior Brother Zhou and the others, other sect members including Junior Brother Yuan got the message in time and provided assistance. By the time Junior Brother Chen arrived, the enemy was already worn out,¡±


    ¡°With more of our legions joining in and under Chen¡¯s leadership, we wiped out the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak, including immortal cultivating families and markets loyal to them in Rock Country.¡±

    ¡°Presently, our 3,000 strong army of cultivators are hurrying over here under Chen¡¯s leading.¡±


    Not far from the main base of Mountain Shaker Peak, Xie Yuntian was standing on a huge rock, respectfully relating the latest battle situations to the puppet body of Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad, this kid didn¡¯t disappoint.¡±


    Fu Zongjue was very satisfied with what he heard. After speaking, he cast a penetrating gaze toward Mountain Shaker Peak.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi¡¯s days are numbered.¡±

 Chapter 770 - Chapter 770 Chapter 445 Infant Formation Experience _1

    Chapter 770: Chapter 445: Infant Formation Experience _1 Chapter 770: Chapter 445: Infant Formation Experience _1 After Ji Dingjin¡¯s death, the cultivators who Ai Tuo had gathered to ambush Zhou Wangshen and his team were undoubtedly the last elite of Shake Mountain.


    After the strategic failure, although this group of people scattered and fled, under the chase of foundation establishment practitioners like Zhou Wangshen, dozens of them were still lost.


    Then Luo Yixuan and Li Yixian led two hundred people to arrive. At the command of Chen Mobai, they began to coordinate with the foundation establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect and began to encircle and suppress the fleeing cultivators of Shake Mountain from all directions.


    This round of chasing was much more bloody, as it was a confrontation between Qi practitioners. Luo Yixuan encountered a strong opponent, a true disciple of Shake Mountain.


    If she hadn¡¯t had a Divine Wood Sword, she might not have been able to break her opponent¡¯s defense.


    The wealth of the Qi Practitioners under her command wasn¡¯t as substantial. More than ten people pushed too far when they were chasing, and after the agreed rendezvous time, they never returned.


    Ten of these were Loose Cultivators, and it wasn¡¯t known whether they had really been killed or whether they had made some gains and didn¡¯t want to get involved anymore, stealthily escaping.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t manage them. He waited until Yue Zutao¡¯s Divine Wood Sect army arrived, and then drove straight to Shake Mountain.


    Within the Rock Country, there was a famous Immortal Cultivation family called the Zhuang family. The family area was around Mount Chang Zhuan, a lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein, with a Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed there.


    During the War between Shake Mountain and the Divine Wood Sect, the Zhuang family ancestor was naturally conscripted.


    However, he was lucky. After Ji Dingjin ordered the retreat, because his family¡¯s land was close, he ran back with fifty Qi Practice cultivators of his clan.


    However, you can run away from the monk, but not the temple.


    Zhuang¡¯s family ancestor watched bitterly as more than twenty giant floating airships flew in from the distant sky, and had his people open the mountain protection array.


    ¡°I am willing to submit to the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Standing on the floating airship, Chen Mobai glanced at the Zhuang family below and nodded to Yuan Chiye and Yue Zutao by his side.


    The two immediately flew down and began to take over this Rank-3 Spirit Vein family land of the Zhuang family, ensuring that there was no ambush by cultivators.


    ¡°Mount Chang Zhuan is about the same distance from the two Spirit Stone Mines. Chiye, you can lead a team to stay here.¡±


    The last time they fought against Shake Mountain, their target was two Spirit Stone Mines near the border. However, as soon as the war started, Ji Dingjin immediately took them back.


    But now, Ji Dingjin was dead and the Shake Mountain army was scattered. But still, they have to prepare for any eventualities, to prevent short-sighted loose practitioners from taking advantage of the gap between the two sects, and entering these two Spirit Stone Mines to plunder.


    Chen Mobai already considered Rock Country and Sky Country as his own sect¡¯s territories, and naturally, the spirit stone mines also had to be guarded.


    The Zhuang family¡¯s initiative to surrender was good news for the Divine Wood Sect.


    With the Zhuang¡¯s family in their corner, they could leave fewer cultivators behind.


    But just to be safe, they left a team with Yuan Chiye. As long as he could evolve into a Taoist Soldier, he would have the ability to suppress the situation.


    The Zhuang family¡¯s surrender wasn¡¯t an isolated incident. Chen Mobai, with the advantage of quick military movement, rested for a day at Mount Chang Zhuan, then led his Divine Wood Sect army towards the main base of Shake Mountain.


    Along the way, there were those who stubbornly resisted.


    There was the Shake Mountain¡¯s Foundation Establishment cultivator elder, who relied on the Rank-3 formation of the Fang Market, and gathered hundreds of Qi practice cultivators who had run back from the front line to try to block the army¡¯s advance.


    Under full defense, the power of the Rank-3 formation was good.


    It held up the Divine Wood Sect Army for three days and nights, only to be broken by the stomping of the giant blue man.


    After the market was broken, the Shake Mountain elders and disciples inside were all killed. The remaining cultivators who didn¡¯t have time to escape became the spoils of war of the Divine Wood sect¡¯s army.


    After breaking through this market, Chen Mobai frowned, fearing that every disciple of Shake Mountain would be so bloody, willing to sacrifice their own lives to slow down his advance.


    Sure enough, the next market also launched a Rank-3 formation, acting like a stubborn stone once again blocking the way of Chen Mobai¡¯s army.


    Chen Mobai could only evolve the Giant Wooden Armored Soldier again and start bombarding heavily.


    This time, the speed of breaking the formation was much faster. Not only was the number of cultivators in the market smaller than the previous one, but also because after several exercises, Chen Mobai had become more and more adept at controlling the power at the Golden Core Stage.


    After continuously breaking through two markets, when they encountered the third market, even before they moved, there was already internal conflict inside.


    In a short while, the market formation was disbanded, and the gates were wide open.


    Two Foundation Establishment elders of local Immortal Cultivation clans came out with a head, and respectfully presented it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is Fei Ziqiang from Shake Mountain. He was so dense that he tried to stop a car with a praying mantis¡¯s arm. We complied with the will of heaven and killed him. We hope your sect can spare our two families.¡±


    ¡°Well said! Complying with the will of heaven, well done!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that these words sounded very nice. He showed a look of approval to the foundation establishment cultivators of the two clans.


    Of course, he understood the idiom about buying a horse¡¯s bones with a thousand pieces of gold.


    Since the two clans had acted this way, not only should the Divine Wood Sect spare them, but it should also reward them heavily.


    ¡°The right to administer this market in the future will be given to your two families.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai said this, the faces of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were full of excitement. They deeply felt that their decision to join the Divine Wood Sect was the most brilliant one they had made in their lives.

 Chapter 771 - Chapter 771 Chapter 445 Nascent Soul Formation Experience _2

    Chapter 771: Chapter 445 Nascent Soul Formation Experience _2 Chapter 771: Chapter 445 Nascent Soul Formation Experience _2 Apart from the head of Fei Ziqiang, the cultivators of the two largest clans within the Fang Market, have already massacred all the disciples of Mountain Shaker Peak, leaving corpses and blood everywhere.


    Chen Mobai did not leave the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect here. Instead, he directly incorporated the cultivators of the Zang Fu clans and the remaining cultivators in the market area into his own team, and together they began to march towards the headquarters of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    With the local Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zang and Fu, from the Rock Country joining him, Chen Mobai¡¯s subsequent journey became much easier.


    Along the way, most of the clans and merchants surrendered seeing their might.


    Even the overconfident ones were dealt with by these local guides through various arrangements for insiders, and via cooperative efforts, they breached formations, saving Chen Mobai a lot of trouble and reducing their casualties.


    Towards the end, there was no need to deploy the grand army of the Divine Wood Sect. The local people who had joined them had already preemptively annihilated all the loyalist clans of Mountain Shaker Peak that were blocking the way.


    What was originally estimated to take a month to reach the base location of Mountain Shaker Peak, now took just ten days.


    ¡°Greetings to the three old masters!¡±


    After peacefully seizing more than half of Rock Country, Chen Mobai led the grand army of Divine Wood Sect to encircle Mountain Shaker Peak, and met the three Core Formation cultivators who were waiting at the entrance.


    He had met Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue before.


    However, it was his first meeting with Mo Douguang of Golden Cliff.


    He stood on a rock, plain-faced and lean, dressed in a blue-gray long robe, his eyes calm but with a sharp glint that made people¡¯s hearts palpitate.


    ¡°Mo junior brother, this is Chen Guixian whom I spoke to you about earlier. His swordsmanship talent is on par with yours.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing signaled Chen Mobai to come over, then took him to Mo Douguang and introduced him.


    ¡°At his age, I hadn¡¯t even cultivated divine sense yet.¡±


    Mo Douguang shook his head, implying that his talent was not as good as Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Mo junior brother, you¡¯re being modest. You¡¯re the last one of the five of us to be taken under the master¡¯s wing. If it weren¡¯t for encountering Zhou Ye, who possesses the Heavenly Spiritual Root of Earth, the master was originally planning to let you inherit the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words surprised Chen Mobai, to think that Mo Douguang too could cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit. Could he also possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root?


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to bring up past events. Let¡¯s figure out how to kill Ji Zhenshi first.¡±


    Mo Douguang shook his head. He was single-minded in his pursuit of swordsmanship. He had come here to help this time, hoping to test Ji Zhenshi¡¯s Void Law Body with his sword.


    However, the latter had holed himself up within a large Rank-4 formation that he had painstakingly maintained for many years, leaving the three of them unable to use their power.


    ¡°The Bead That Breaks Meridians has also been brought over, but once it¡¯s used, this Rank-4 Spirit Vein will be ruined. So, we still hope to break through Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s large formation normally. Even if Ji Zhenshi destroys all valuable items such as cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs before his death, if we can occupy this Spirit Vein, it would be a massive gain.¡±


    In the Eastern Wasteland, only the seven major sects possess Rank-4 Spirit Veins.


    The one at Mountain Shaker Peak is worth a great deal, having been upgraded to Rank-4 by Ji Zhenshi after spending millions of Spirit Stones.


    It was partly because of this that the three Core Formation cultivators, despite their blockade, could do nothing about Ji Zhenshi who was holed up in his lair.


    Unless they used the Bead that Breaks Meridians, but then, this Rank-4 Spirit Vein would also be destroyed.


    And Chen Mobai had led the grand army of the Divine Wood Sect here for exactly this purpose.


    Xie Yuntian was also here, and combined with the local Rock Country cultivation powers recruited along the way, as well as scattered cultivators who had come seeing their might, the number of cultivators the Divine Wood Sect had control over had surprisingly reached four thousand.


    Upon reaching here, Zhou Shengqing personally took command.


    He took out ten Rank-3 Tree Seeds and unleashed them at the ten key nodes where the Spirit Vein energies of Mountain Shaker Peak circulated. Then Chen Mobai and nine other strongest Foundation Establishment cultivators each guarded one Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    Plus, one thousand of the most elite Qi practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect had the range of a large Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation unfold, slowly beginning to sever the connection between Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Spirit Vein and the earth.


    And the remaining three thousand Qi Practitioners were not spared by Zhou Shengqing, as this Core-Formation elder of Divine Wood Sect took out another thirty tree seeds from his storage bag and made them bloom.


    After finishing all this, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face change, and then he sat on his own Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai felt the spiritual power in his body start to pour into the seeds around him, and then like a stream in the ocean, it merged into the hundred-meter tall green-golden giant slowly condensing above him.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Alpha Wood Soldier was not in the same league compared to the one managed by Zhou Shengqing.


    Not only was there a huge difference in appearance, the hundred-meter green giant even had golden leaves circling his body, which was like donning a layer of golden armor, making him especially heroic and awe-inspiring.


    After Zhou Shengqing consolidated the green-golden Alpha Wood Soldier, he didn¡¯t bombard the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Rank-4 formation, but rather, he continuously expanded the range of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, covering the entire radius of ten kilometers of Mountain Shaker Peak in no time.


    Then, Chen Mobai felt the Qi of Earth Vein being continuously absorbed by the green-golden Alpha Wood Soldier, Zhou Shengqing seemed to be using their cultivation technique.


    And the source of the cultivation technique was the Rank-4 spirit vein of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Ji Zhenshi, who noticed this, flew out, and upon seeing the hundred-meter-high Alpha Wood Soldier, his face changed slightly, and he thrusted a palm towards Zhou Shengqing in mid-air.


    With a swoosh!


    Mo Douguang¡¯s flying sword, which had been waiting for him, broke Ji Zhenshi¡¯s elemental giant hand.


    However, just as Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue were about to attack, Ji Zhenshi retreated into the Rank-4 large formation. He looked at Zhou Shengqing who was devouring the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Qi of Earth Vein with the Alpha Wood Soldier, and suddenly made a suggestion.


    ¡°I will leave the Eastern Wilderness with my disciples, and hand over this intact spirit vein to you. You give me the Infant Formation Experience left by the Hun Yuan ancestor, how about that?¡±


    Ji Zhenshi¡¯s words surprised Chen Mobai greatly, he never thought that this Core-Formation elder of Mountain Shaker Peak would be willing to abandon his three hundred-year-old foundation.


    ¡°Impossible, even though the Rank-4 spirit vein is precious, it can¡¯t match the Infant Formation Experience.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing refused without thinking.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Five Elements Sect had the knowledge of Infant Formation Experience. Wangu Sect was destroyed by the Five Elements Sect and the leftover Infant Formation Experience was also taken by them.


    When Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff split from Five Elements Sect, they made a copy of everything from the Book Pavilion of Sect except for the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit.


    The Infant Formation Experience was no exception.


    The other Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were aware of Wangu and Hun Yuan¡¯s Infant Formation Experience and coveted it, but this knowledge can be considered the most precious in the Eastern Wilderness.


    It represents the hope for these Core-Formation cultivators in their Infant-Formation Journey.


    Especially after Ji Zhenshi reached the late stage of Core Formation, he wanted to risk it for the Nascent Soul stage.


    As a formidable man of the Eastern Wilderness, he led his clan to take over and became the elder of Mountain Shaker Peak. Although he has feelings for this sect where he has invested half of his life, it can still be used as a bargaining chip when compared with his own future.


    Especially when facing the pressure of an enormous army, how many years could Mountain Shaker Peak rely on the Rank-4 formation for support?


    Trading all of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s assets in the Eastern Wastelands for the Infant Formation Experience was a thought-out idea by Ji Zhenshi.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unfortunately, Zhou Shengqing rejected it without any hesitation.


    That is the Infant Formation Experience, a priceless treasure.


    Although Ji Zhenshi, because of his cultivation method, could hardly make a breakthrough with it, what if?


    If he really successfully formed an infant outsider of the Eastern Wasteland, not only the Divine Wood Sect, but the entire Eastern Wasteland would become his subordinate.


    ¡°My Mountain Shaker Peak has more than this Rank-4 spirit vein, but also the Void Stone Mine. You should know how valuable it is. In addition, my sect also has many hidden spirit stone reserves in the Rock Country and Sky Country, which are worth at least tens of millions of spirit stones altogether. In exchange for a piece of Infant Formation Experience, this business is undoubtedly profitable.¡±

 Chapter 772 - Chapter 772 Chapter 446 Ji Zhenshi Dies_1

    Chapter 772: Chapter 446 Ji Zhenshi Dies_1 Chapter 772: Chapter 446 Ji Zhenshi Dies_1 Is the Infant Formation Experience really so valuable?


    Chen Mobai was shocked after hearing the conversation between the two Nascent Soul Formation ancestors.


    If he wanted, he could download a hundred different related theses in the Immortal Gate.


    In the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, there were even several books specifically discussing this aspect.


    Regrettably, this was too high-end for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had flicked through it once, couldn¡¯t understand it, and put it back.


    Thinking about it now, wasn¡¯t his treatment of these books too casual?


    Chen Mobai thought of this and once again lamented the lack of knowledge and isolation in the Tianhe Realm.


    Although in his mind, this Infant Formation Experience wasn¡¯t valuable, he wouldn¡¯t trade it with Ji Zhenshi. After all, Ji Zhenshi was exceptionally talented. What if he gained some enlightenment from it?


    Though the chance of Ji Zhenshi reaching Nascent Soul Formation was extremely slim, if it succeeded Divine Wood Sect would certainly have no chance to retaliate. The two sects were already mortal enemies; no potential threats could be left unchecked.


    So Zhou Shengqing directly sneered and drove the Alpha Wood Soldier to strike Ji Zhenshi with a punch.


    ¡°The Rank-4 Large Formation of our sect was personally set up by Master Yu of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. Even if you suppressed the flow of the Spirit Vein, it could last for a year.¡±


    ¡°I can leave the Eastern Wilderness through the teleportation array before you break the array. At that time, with me as a hidden enemy, the disciples of Divine Wood Sect will always be fearful.¡±


    ¡°If you make a deal with me, I will not only give you the Spirit Vein of Shake Mountain, but all the Spirit Plants and Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine in the sect, as well as the intact transmission of the Body Forging Cultivation Technique. These could be exchanged for their assistance if I gave them to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    ¡°The reason why I still abide by the rules of the Eastern Wilderness and not introduce outsiders is to make this deal with you. Consider it carefully, I won¡¯t wait for too long.¡±


    After blocking Alpha Wood Soldier with the power of the array, Ji Zhenshi left a few words and disappeared into thin air.


    After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face darkened.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. Teleportation arrays were troublesome and could only be purchased in the resource-rich Tianhe realm.


    All the Void Stones in the Immortal Gate had long been mined, and now, even the Nascent Soul was reduced to applying for them to do research.


    So Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t heard of teleportation arrays in the Immortal Gate.


    Perhaps the technology exists, but there weren¡¯t enough resources to set it up.


    After Ji Zhenshi left, Zhou Shengqing and the other two Nascent Soul Formation cultivators gathered to discuss, and soon they seemed to have made up their minds.


    They beckoned at Chen Mobai. As the foundation establishment cultivator, second only to the three, he had the right to know.


    ¡°We originally wanted to take our time, but now I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to use the Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel tense. Even if they took it, not only the Rank-4 Spirit Vein would be destroyed, all the herbs in the Spirit Plants would probably wither.


    Even if Shake Mountain was taken, the loss would be too great.


    But since the three ancestors were decided, he, a mere foundation establishment cultivator, couldn¡¯t change anything. He could only nod with a heavy face.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi himself is a guest elder of the Xuan Xiao merchant group, and the disciples of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace have appeared on the battlefield before. He is probably colluding with this Eastern Yi Clan.¡±


    ¡°To avoid nightmares in the long night, and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace potentially stepping in, we cannot delay here any longer. We must decide quickly.¡±


    ¡°After using the Bead that Breaks Meridians, the spiritual air vein will be polluted and change. The teleportation array wouldn¡¯t work, and Ji Zhenshi wouldn¡¯t have thought that we¡¯d pay such a big price just to kill him.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, as the top Golden Core Formation in the Eastern Wilderness, leading the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff from the Five Elements Sect, made very clear judgments at the critical moment.


    As long as Ji Zhenshi is killed, even without this Rank-4 Spirit Vein of Shake Mountain, the other ore veins and industries in Rock Country and Sky Country would still bring huge profits to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Using the Bead that Breaks Meridians would indeed cause the greatest military achievement, the Rank-4 Spirit Vein, to disappear, but killing Ji Zhenshi would give them peace of mind for a time.


    By that time, Zhou Shengqing could prepare for the Nascent Soul Formation at ease. As long as he was successful, even if the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace took action, he had the confidence to resist.


    Considering the overall situation, this momentary pain was necessary.

    Chen Mobai put himself in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s shoes and found their views to be the same.


    ¡°However, even if we use the Bead that Breaks Meridians, Shake Mountain could cut off the connection between the large array and the Spirit Vein and use Spirit Stones to provide energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised a possibility. Chu Zuoshu and others considered this possibility when they were at Rolling Thunder Mountain in the past and proposed this strategy.


    ¡°Using the Bead that Breaks Meridians is just to cut off Shake Mountain¡¯s teleportation array to the outside world. Moreover, without the Rank-4 Spirit Vein continuously providing spiritual energy, relying solely on Spirit Stones could support this Rank-4 Large Formation for at most a month.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the Bead that Breaks Meridians we have is a Rank-3 top grade, which will have much less effect on the Spirit Vein. Perhaps some rare Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine could survive.¡±

 Chapter 773 - Chapter 773 Chapter 446 Death of Ji Zhenshi_2

    Chapter 773: Chapter 446 Death of Ji Zhenshi_2 Chapter 773: Chapter 446 Death of Ji Zhenshi_2 When the Five Elements Sect split up, Zhou Shengqing managed to copy all the cultivation techniques, but the other three veins did not allow him to take the forbidden object, the Bead that Breaks Meridians.


    This Rank-3, high-quality Bead that Breaks Meridians was obtained by Zhou Shengqing over years in exchange for Void Stone ores in the lands beyond the Eastern Wilderness.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai exhaled lightly.


    Probably because of his origins in the world of immortality, he was quite eco-friendly. He found it hard to accept the severe consequences caused by the Bead that Breaks Meridians.


    Now that he heard the effects would be significantly diminished, he couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start. Ji Zhenshi won¡¯t expect us to act so decisively. Once the Bead that Breaks Meridians is activated, he will realise there¡¯s no way out. He will definitely fight us to the death,¡± said Fu Zongjue from the side. Chen Mobai recognized him. He was in a puppet body. Was he the Purple Sun Puppet?


    ¡°Lead the disciples and do not leave the area covered by the spiritual light of the tree seeds. The Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation can resist the poisonous gas of the Bead that Breaks Meridians. Later when we stir up the Spirit Vein, lead the disciples to transition the battle array into a defensive stance.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing gave his instructions to Chen Mobai. The matter of using the Bead that Breaks Meridians was only shared with him.


    ¡°You, brother, are about to complete the Nascent Soul Formation. You should avoid committing excessive atrocities. Allow me to utilize the Bead that Breaks Meridians with my puppet body.¡±


    Upon hearing what Fu Zongjue had said, Zhou Shengqing nodded. From his storage bag, he took out a dark green jade bead, the size of a fist. Fu Zongjue took it and rose into the air.


    Chen Mobai quickly took out his cell phone and directed everyone to gather around the tree seed, intending to deploy the defensive stance of the Divine Wood Sect battle array.


    Apart from the three Core Formation Elders, only he was informed about this matter.


    The rest of the Qi Practitioners, upon seeing Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body rise into the air, thought that this Elder was going to collaborate with Zhou Shengqing to perform some grand array-breaking technique.


    Then they saw a dark green radiance descending from the sky.


    The Rank-4 formation at Mountain Shaker Peak was triggered instantly. But the moment the radiance made contact, the Bead that Breaks Meridians followed the formation and sank into the earth veins.


    A wave that made everyone¡¯s hearts tremble flashed, and the ground started to shake violently. Then, amidst an earth-shattering roar, fissures appeared on the earth, with black gas pouring out from them.


    Chen Mobai looked around, the range covered by the sky wood divine light array was not affected, everywhere else was filled with this poisonous gas mixed with spiritual energy.


    Any ordinary Qi Practitioner who inhaled this by accident would become weak, like Liu Wenbo, at best. At worst, their Elemental Energy would be severely damaged, and they would die instantly.


    ¡°Everyone, do not leave the area covered by the tree seed spiritual light¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai repeated the instructions on his cell phone to everyone, instructing everyone to get ready to invade the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    At that moment, the power of the bead that broke the pulses had fully erupted. The originally lustrous Rank-4 formation at Mountain Shaker Peak suddenly dimmed, its power had already decreased by 60 or 70 percent.


    ¡°This¡­ this is the Bead that Breaks Meridians!¡±


    Among the members of Divine Wood Sect, some were fairly experienced and knowledgeable. At the sight of the situation, they thought of that item and were astonished.


    However, these cultivators that had defected from Rock Country were even more excited by the sight.


    If Ji Zhengshi and Mountain Shaker Peak were not brought down, even if they had obtained the management rights of Fang Market, they would not feel relieved.


    So they all wished they could immediately charge into Mountain Shaker Peak and wipe out this major sect of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s stern order sounded. Chen Mobai and the others immediately controlled the battle array to transform into Alpha Wood Soldiers, gathering everyone¡¯s power overhead.


    A blue-gold giant rose into the sky again, even more imposing and grand than before.


    This hundred-meter tall Alpha Wood Soldier brought his palms together, with an inexhaustible sea of spiritual power continuously condensing in his palms, transforming into a deep green airflow. The space around seemed to warp, as if it¡¯s a black lightning.


    Zhou Shengqing threw a lush jade-like leaf into the palm of the Alpha Wood Soldier in the sky. In an instant, the spiritual power churned like a sea of spiritual power being squeezed and condensed. The sheer amount of energy contained within made Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye hurt just by glancing at it.


    This lush green leaf was a Rank-4 talisman. It was supposedly made from the leaves of the Everlife Wood through some special method.


    Zhou Shengqing did not know what talisman was painted on it, but it contained an enormous amount of spiritual power.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the activation of the green talisman, the deep green airflow in the palm of the Alpha Wood Soldier became light as if a cool breeze was falling from the sky, blowing on the dim formation atop Mountain Shaker Peak.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing, you¡¯ve gone too far¡­¡±


    The angry shout from Ji Zhenshi came from within the formation. He was already wearing a Rank-3 Armor, holding a black spear in one hand, and a large array flag in the other, seemingly trying to forcibly stimulate the power of the Rank-4 formation using spirit stones.


    However, Zhou Shengqing, having prepared for so long, had even employed the Bead that Breaks Meridians, and naturally would not give Ji Zhenshi any hope of escape.


    He himself was already at the Perfection stage of the Gold Core. This time, with the power of the Alpha Wood Soldier, he gathered the true qi of longevity and deployed the Rank-4 talisman. It was already equivalent to a strike from a Nascent Soul.


    Even though Ji Zhenshi put forth all his strength, going as far as to enhance the power of the formation using high-quality spirit stones, the influence of the Bead that Breaks Meridians was indeed too great.

 Chapter 774 - Chapter 774 Chapter 446 Ji Zhenshi dies_3

    Chapter 774: Chapter 446: Ji Zhenshi dies_3 Chapter 774: Chapter 446: Ji Zhenshi dies_3 After a violent shaking of the earth, the Mountain Shaker Peak was utterly shattered.


    However, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s desperate resistance was not in vain, he was able to block Zhou Shengqing¡¯s attack at least.


    But without the protection of the Large Formation, with the strength of Mountain Shaker Peak, it was impossible to withstand the army of the Divine Wood Sect no matter what.


    ¡°Today is your death day!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing let out a cold chuckle, and along with Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang, they surrounded Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Fellow sect members, stimulate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and bombard Mountain Shaker Peak!¡±


    Chen Mobai took over the command, as the outside Spiritual Energy had been polluted by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, so during this time the cultivators could not absorb or exhale Spiritual Energy.


    But the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation has the ability to purify part of the Earth Vein¡¯s poisonous gas, and each cultivator, in this war, has made some wealth whether big or small, and at this critical moment, they all took out their Spirit Stones to start absorbing and recovering the Spiritual Power they just used when Zhou Shengqing converged and executed the Rank-4 Talisman technique.


    Chen Mobai commanded half of the cultivators to meditate and restore their Spiritual Power, while the others gritted their teeth and continued to supply Spiritual Power, instigating the attack variations of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    At this moment, it was even more impossible for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators presiding over the Tree Seeds to rest; victory¡¯s dawn was right in front of them. Under the watchful eyes of the three Golden Core elders, they were willing to perform well even if worn out to the point of coughing up blood.


    Threads of Heavenly Wood Divine Light were condensed and rose, bombarding the various building complexes around Mountain Shaker Peak after the Mountain Protection Array was broken.


    However, before Chen Mobai commanded the bombardment, he first surveyed with the Void Spirit Eye and specifically instructed the Foundation Establishment cultivators controlling the Heavenly Wood Divine Light to avoid wide areas like the Spirit Field Medicine Field.


    Anyhow, they just needed to aim at the places where people were concentrated.


    But occasionally when the target was off, they ended up bombarding towards the four Golden Core elders who were fiercely battling in the sky, causing the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had launched this Heavenly Wood Divine Light to break out into a cold sweat.


    Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone and berated the individual controlling.


    However, it was this beam of Heavenly Wood Divine Light that seemed to be the last straw that broke Ji Zhenshi¡¯s back. Accompanied by three rays of Spiritual Light being heavily released, that famed Rank-3 armor that shocked the Eastern Wilderness could no longer withstand and shattered into thousands of black iron fragments, scattering in all directions.


    Zhou Shengqing once again stimulated a mouthful of Eternal True Qi, deflecting Ji Zhenshi¡¯s last desperate black spear thrust at him into the sky.


    A cloud of gray Sword Sha burst from Mo Douguang¡¯s Eternal Sword, landing on Ji Zhenshi¡¯s Rank-3 peak body slicing out a deep, visible bone Sword Wound.


    If it weren¡¯t for Ji Zhenshi using the Void Law Body to shift his position at a critical moment, this sword would likely have decapitated him.


    ¡°Damn it, you three just wait, I will come back¡­¡±


    Ji Zhenshi roared angrily, knowing that the situation was dire. He didn¡¯t even look down at the sect he had meticulously managed for three hundred years again, but directly employed the changing technique of the Void Law Body¡¯s Void Shifting, stepping into the black cracks, and tried to escape!


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this move.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing chuckled lightly, taking out another emerald leaf from his storage bag, only this time, the talisman patterns on it were silver.


    Since the last time he crossed paths with Ji Zhenshi and saw the trickiness of the Void Law Body, he had already prepared a countermeasure.


    This Ban Sky Talisman was the ultimate killer move!


    The talisman lit up with a silver glow, and not far away in the void, Ji Zhenshi stumbled out of a black crack, faltering.


    The gray Sword Sha closely followed the shadow, the moment Ji Zhenshi was propelled out by the Ban Sky Talisman, it pierced through from his back into his heart.


    With a ¡®pu¡¯ sound!


    Ji Zhenshi spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, but he still used all his strength to knock the Eternal Sword that stabbed out from his heart out of his back. Then he also took out a talisman from his storage bag.


    This seemed to be another Rank-4 talisman, his ultimate life-saving trick.


    However, as he tried to activate it, the gray Sword Sha flashed again, severing Ji Zhenshi¡¯s right hand that was holding the talisman.


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing also flew to Ji Zhenshi¡¯s front with a smile, lightly pointing and dark green Eternal True Qi immediately sealed the latter¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion in an instant.


    Zhou Shengqing, due to the practice of cultivation techniques, could not break the latter¡¯s Rank-3 Body, but sealing and limiting his movements was doable.


    Moreover, isn¡¯t there the number one sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness who can break defenses?


    With an expressionless face, Mo Douguang flew over, lifted the Eternal Sword in his hand, and in the face of Ji Zhenshi¡¯s desperate gaze, stabbed into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion!


    ¡°Xuan Xiao deceived me¡­¡±


    Just before dying, Ji Zhenshi howled towards the sky.


    At the same time, the Eternal Sword with the gray Sword Sha trapped also pierced through Ji Zhenshi¡¯s skull.


    Although Body Refining Cultivators have strong vitality, under the circumstances where both the heart and brain are pierced, it is absolutely impossible to survive.


    But Zhou Shengqing was still somewhat worried, he let Mo Douguang waved his sword again, and only after Ji Zhenshi was cut into pieces did he satisfiedly nod his head.


    After Chen Mobai saw the scene of Ji Zhenshi¡¯s downfall, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    One lone hand cannot fight against four!


    Immortal Cultivation is difficult, but building connections is also important. Why did Ji Zhenshi die? Wasn¡¯t it because there were three Golden Core cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect and only one of him?


    As he thought of this, Chen Mobai felt puzzled.


    Why didn¡¯t the Taoist Master from the southern Liu Jia Mountain come?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Does he feel that Mountain Shaker Peak won¡¯t fail so soon and is still leading troops and dispatching generals?


    And what did Ji Zhenshi mean by screaming that sentence before his death?


    Could it be that he really invited Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace as aid, but they didn¡¯t come?


    Chen Mobai had many questions in his mind. However, this was not the time to think about these things. He directed the Divine Wood Sect monks who had recovered their Spiritual Power and began to evolve the Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation. After ensuring that the external poisonous gas was isolated, he followed the three elders into Mountain Shaker Peak.


    After this battle, only six out of the Seven Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness remained!

 Chapter 775 - Chapter 775 Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_1

    Chapter 775: Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_1 Chapter 775: Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_1 As Ji Zhenshi passed away, glaring lights shot up into the sky, accompanied by tremendous thunderous noises, reducing many buildings and halls to ruins.


    ¡°First seize the medicinal fields, then the Spirit Stone Hall¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately commanded his cultivators towards various targets.


    Many cultivators of the Shake Mountain were still trying to resist. Although the Mountain Protection Array had been broken, some prohibitions were still functioning, and small arrays were arranged in some buildings.


    After the three ancestors killed Ji Zhenshi, they ignored these minor roles and rushed towards the ruins.


    These places were blown up by the loyal disciples of Shake Mountain after Ji Zhenshi¡¯s death, which was obviously where the sect¡¯s most valuable treasures were located. The three ancestors wanted to try and salvage some of them.


    At this critical moment, Chen Mobai acted cautiously, commanding Yue Zutao to lead people to seize the medicinal and spirit fields first.


    Then, he sent people like Zhou Wangshen to the halls that still hadn¡¯t been destroyed, which were flickering with the light of Array Prohibition.


    At this time, spiritual lights shot up into the sky, fleeing in all directions.


    These were the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Shake Mountain. Seeing that all was lost, they chose to run for their lives.


    ¡°Stop them, kill as many as you can!¡±


    Destroying a sect and exterminating a clan was a deadly grudge. Under permissible conditions, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t let anyone escape.


    Xie Yuntian and the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect transformed into Alpha Wood Soldiers and rose into the sky, killing the Shake Mountain cultivators who were fleeing.


    ¡°Spare me, and I¡¯ll tell you where the sect¡¯s treasury is¡­¡±


    A young-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator was forced to drop his defense and began to absorb the mixed spiritual energy from the environment under the pressure of the Alpha Wood Soldiers. He resisted while begging for his life.


    Xie Yuntian paused slightly after hearing this, turning his gaze towards Chen Mobai who was not too far away.


    ¡°Kill him!¡±


    However, without any hesitation, Chen Mobai ordered.


    Shake Mountain had already been breached by their Divine Wood Sect. No matter what treasure vaults existed, they could find them by digging three feet deep. There was no need to keep these foes who might harbor hatred.


    Upon hearing the words, Xie Yuntian immediately controlled the Alpha Wood Soldier to slice the young promising Foundation Establishment cultivator of Shake Mountain in half.


    This scenario was repeated all over Shake Mountain.


    Some Foundation Establishment cultivators even disguised themselves as Qi Cultivators, not flying in the air, but fleeing on the ground along with the majority of the disciples from Shake Mountain, taking advantage of the familiar routes and running out of the gorge.


    However, most were intercepted by the cultivators of Rock Country¡¯s local families that were with the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai and his men weren¡¯t familiar with Shake Mountain, but these people had offered supplies there many times.


    Accompanied by the shouts of anger and scolding, Cultivation spiritual lights lit up all over Shake Mountain.


    In this life-and-death situation, these cultivators didn¡¯t care about the poisonous aura around them. They desperately invoked their spiritual power, hoping to escape first and figure things out later.


    Chen Mobai led his cultivators along the route taken by the three ancestors.


    ¡°Xuan, you lead those who practice Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques to cause rain.¡±


    The first place they arrived at was a Book Pavilion, which had unfortunately been engulfed in flames. Chen Mobai activated several Water Storage Talismans from his storage bag and directed his disciples, who practiced Dark Water Cultivation, to put out the fire.


    Luo Yixuan nodded. She was now familiar with the people in her team. After she gave her orders, immediately more than thirty people stepped forward to cast the Rainfall Technique together.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai rushed into the burning Book Pavilion.


    With his Fire Spirit Body, ordinary flames could actually make him feel more comfortable.


    However, to keep his clothes intact, Chen Mobai invoked the Fire Repelling Technique he had obtained from the Talent Tree.


    Wherever he went, the flames retreated. Soon he reached the top floor.


    Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff was there with more than a dozen partially destroyed books surrounding him. These were the ones that he had managed to rescue.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, none of them are complete.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, Mo Douguang regretfully handed over the precious books and dashed towards another ruin enveloped in sword light.


    Chen Mobai released his Divine Sense and broadly reviewed the contents of the books. Most of them were Rank-3 legacies or Cultivation Techniques that could be practiced up to the Golden Core Realm.


    He saw the Void Law Body and Great Height Law Body among them.


    For the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, these were the most precious pieces of knowledge.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, with more than half of them burned, they had lost much of their value.


    For Chen Mobai, there seemed to be some use to them, as he could refer to the Void Law Body he had obtained from Ji Dingjin.


    But it was something to be pondered later. After putting these books in his storage bag, he used the Flame Manipulation Technique from the Pure Yang Scroll and, together with Luo Yixuan and others outside, they managed to control the fire here.


    Fortunately, the arsonists at Shake Mountain started the fire from the top floor where the Rank-3 Knowledge books were located. The Rank-2 books on the lower floors were only partially destroyed, and thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Manipulation Technique and Luo Yixuan¡¯s Rainfall Technique, the Rank-1 books were basically preserved.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, these Rank-1 and Rank-2 books would significantly enhance the strength of the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 776 - Chapter 776 Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_2

    Chapter 776: Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_2 Chapter 776: Chapter 447 Mother Earth Stone_2 These are the true foundations of the Mountain Shaker Peak, the roots of body cultivation refined by countless disciples over hundreds of years through the Body Refining Technique.


    Although the Body Forging Division of the Divine Wood Sect has the most members, their strength has always been the weakest, being at the forefront as cannon fodder during battles.


    Now, after gaining a whole Book Pavilion of Body Cultivation books from Mountain Shaker Peak, it is estimated that the strength of the Sect¡¯s body cultivators can be greatly enhanced.


    Maybe many years from now, the Body Forging Division could become a banner of the Sect, just like the Sword Training Division.


    ¡°Brother Liang, you command the disciples to pack these books in batches.¡±


    After the fire was controlled, Chen Mobai left Liang Lingzhen behind, while he himself continued to lead most of the cultivators towards the other ruined halls.


    Only the Book Pavilion was set on fire by the cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    The remaining ruins include a treasury full of various minerals, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s cave dwelling, the Mountain Shaker Peak Sect¡¯s treasury, and a warehouse full of various pills and herbs.


    Chen Mobai commanded Yuan Feihu, Hong Lingqin and other Foundation Establishment cultivators to lead teams of cultivators to handle these, to see if they could find something useful among the ruins.


    He himself led two teams to the place where the three Core Formation ancestors were.


    That was Ji Zhenshi¡¯s cave dwelling.


    It had occupied the center of Mountain Shaker Peak and was where the spiritual energy was most prosperous. Unfortunately, it had now turned into ruins.


    Under the sky-reaching cultivation level of the three Core Formation ancestors, a huge piece of debris was lifted, revealing a hidden tunnel.


    Chen Mobai did not follow them in, but ordered the disciples to clear the rubble and debris here.


    In the process of cleaning, several bodies that hadn¡¯t closed their eyes in death were found. They should have been Qi Practitioners in charge of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s cave dwelling.


    Unfortunately, with Ji Zhenshi¡¯s death, they were buried with the collapse of this cave dwelling.


    With many hands, in about half an hour, the ruins of this cave dwelling were mostly cleared.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ ¡±


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s laughter came from the tunnel. As Chen Mobai hesitated, a voice invited him in.


    ¡°Greetings to the three ancestors.¡±


    Upon arriving underground, Chen Mobai first saluted the three figures, then looked around and was instantly attracted by an earthy yellow, fist-sized object that looked like a stone.


    Although the stone seemed insignificant, under his Void Spirit Eye, it contained an astonishing majestic spiritual energy.


    It seemed that this small stone contains an entire Spirit Vein.


    ¡°This is the Mother Earth Stone. The reason why Ji Zhenshi was able to upgrade the Spirit Vein of Mountain Shaker Peak to Rank-4 was because he auctioned this mutated top-quality Spirit Stone at the big auction of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.¡±


    Listening to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, he showed a shocked expression.


    He didn¡¯t expect this inconspicuous stone to be a premium Spirit Stone.


    No wonder the spiritual energy it contained was so majestic.


    ¡°If I want to form Nascent Soul through the immortality scripture, I need to absorb large amounts of Earth Mother Air and Water Essence. If I were to cultivate hard based on the Spirit Vein, it would probably take sixty years of toil. With this Mother Earth Stone, I can save half the time.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing looked at the Mother Earth Stone with a smiling face, but Chen Mobai noticed a faint black streak on it.


    ¡°Unfortunately, as the core of the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s Spirit Vein, this Mother Earth Stone has also been infected by the poisonous gas of the Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was next to him, had examined it earlier, detected the problem, and couldn¡¯t help but show a solemn expression.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I had anticipated this. So, I only used a Rank-3 Bead that Breaks Meridians. The impact on this Mother Earth Stone is not large. After taking it back and cleansing it with Everlife Wood, it would only waste two to three years.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing laughed heartily, took out a Spirit Talisman from his storage bag and affixed it to the Mother Earth Stone.


    ¡°The Mother Earth Stone serves as the core of the spirit vein in the Mountain Shaker Peak. Once I remove it, ground-shaking and mountain-quaking reactions will be triggered,¡±


    ¡°Because the spirit vein here has already been contaminated by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, the contamination will become harder to purify the longer it remains. Therefore, arrange for the disciples to evacuate to a location ten miles away as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Take away anything of value that you can carry. Leave behind anything that can¡¯t be carried. In any case, after the destruction of the Mountain Shaker Peak, the spirit vein mines of both Rock Country and Sky Country will be ours to dispense with as we please. This place, contaminated by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, no longer matters.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately nodded.


    Any gains from the Mountain Shaker Peak are insignificant compared to this Nascent Soul elder. He quickly left, and after returning to the ground, he took out his phone and notified everyone to retreat.


    Although they didn¡¯t understand why, Chen Mobai¡¯s army had been trained to obey orders unconditionally in recent times.


    Quickly, thousands of Qi practitioners who had taken over the Mountain Shaker Peak, retreated step by step in the form of a battle array.


    During this process, quite a few Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators were able to escape.


    However, those who escaped, due to overstimulation of their spiritual power, were already contaminated by the toxic gas present in the atmosphere. Even if they survived, without detoxification medicine, it was unlikely they would ever be able to break through their current cultivation level.


    After everyone retreated more than ten miles away, Chen Mobai quickly informed Zhou Shengqing.


    This elder also didn¡¯t waste any time. After two breaths of time, the entire Mountain Shaker Peak began to shake violently under the astonished gazes of everyone present.


    A cloud of dust was kicked up in the valley between two peaks. An even larger part of the left mountain broke off, crashing towards the remaining pavilions on Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Fortunately, a sword light erupted at the key moment, slashing the mountain into hundreds of pieces. Even though they would inevitably fall, the sword light managed to minimize the damage.


    ¡°What a pity. There were still many mature medicinal crops in the fields there that hadn¡¯t been contaminated, but it wasn¡¯t yet time for them to be harvested. I am not sure whether they will survive after the spiritual vein is damaged.¡±


    After learning about the Mother Earth Stone from Chen Mobai, Yue Zutao exclaimed in regret.


    Although Mountain Shaker Peak only became a major faction in the Eastern Wilderness after Ji Zhenshi¡¯s Core Formation, it had been a renowned Body Cultivation sect in Rock Country for over a thousand years. It had medicinal crops that had been growing for a thousand years in its fields.


    Although most of them had been pulled out after Ji Zhenshi¡¯s death, by the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak, a lot of them were still left behind due to their sheer number.


    Yue Zutao picked every ripe crop he could. For those that weren¡¯t ready yet, he made protective measures.


    However, with the severe shaking of the earth veins coupled with the influence of the Bead that Breaks Meridians, these crops still in the spirit fields would definitely not be able to grow further. They would only get weaker and ultimately wilt away.


    Yue Zutao planned to move these herbal materials to the spirit fields that were not affected by the Bead that Breaks Meridians near Mountain Shaker Peak. He wanted to save as many as possible.


    Chen Mobai agreed with his idea and selected all the Spirit Plant Masters from his army for this task. Once the aftershocks of the earth vein subsided, he let Yue Zutao take them to perform this task.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, these were obtained from the storage bag of that Foundation Establishment cultivator from Mountain Shaker Peak.¡±


    At this time, Xie Yuntian came over and handed him five jade boxes.


    Chen Mobai showed a puzzled look, anything obtained from killing enemies in the Eastern Wilderness basically belonged to him.


    What could be so important that even Xie Yuntian didn¡¯t dare to claim it?


    Chen Mobai gently opened one of the jade boxes. After seeing the contents, his eyes widened in shock.


    Not just him, even Yue Zutao who was standing on the side was taken aback.

    It turned out to be the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom.


    The most important main ingredient for refining Foundation Building Pills!


    Chen Mobai opened each of the five jade boxes, and indeed, they all contained Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms. However, two of them didn¡¯t appear to be fully mature. Moreover, the cultivator who had harvested them seemed to have been in a rush and had uprooted them entirely.


    ¡°What a pity, these two stalks have been contaminated by the poisonous gas of the Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    After examining them, Yue Zutao let out a sigh of regret as he pointed to the two Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms with black threadlike bits on the surface.

 Chapter 777 - Chapter 777 Chapter 448 Taking Over Two Countries_1

    Chapter 777: Chapter 448: Taking Over Two Countries_1 Chapter 777: Chapter 448: Taking Over Two Countries_1 Chen Mobai was also greatly tempted upon seeing the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.


    This is one of the key ingredients for making the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, which is impossible to obtain on the side of the immortal sects. However, it is highly valued in the Eastern Wilderness.


    All seven major sects cultivate it to make Foundation Building Pills. It can be said to be the basis of the major sects and their future.


    Even the two Core Formation Elders have to follow the rules when it comes to the use of the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Previously, when Fu Xingzhou failed his Foundation Establishment, even Fu Zongjue had to make a detour and get another Foundation Building Pill for him from Yin Qingmei, who is a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Now that they have broken through the Mountain Shaker Peak, these Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, although will mainly be used to make Foundation Building Pills.


    But Chen Mobai felt that he could come up with a way to leverage the power of the Divine Wood Sect to help him make the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill.


    After all, if only rely on his own strength, gathering 666 types of medicinal herbs for one round of alchemy is too difficult, and the eight key ingredients each require more than a thousand years, let alone using the power of the immortal sects.


    However, how to master the subtleties in this still needs to be carefully considered.


    ¡°Brother Yue, is there a way to purify the poisonous gas in these two Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with concern. There must be methods to purify medicinal herbs in the Immortal Sects, but these over-thousand-year herbs have all been registered at the Medicine Control Bureau. And they are all located in the small realms of the six major pharmaceutics houses, so he dares not take them there.


    ¡°Elder Zhou once obtained a Purification Technique in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which can be used in this situation. However, the conditions are harsh. It requires to be grafted or buried at the roots of a Spirit Wood of the same rank, and then the Spirit Wood is used to absorb the poisonous gases.¡±


    ¡°This Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom is a top-tier Rank-3 Spiritual Medicine. If you want to purify it, you need at least a top-tier Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Wood. In addition, the Purification Technique also needs to be cultivated to Rank-3 greatness. I¡¯m afraid only Elder Zhou has the ability to do this in the sect.¡±


    ¡°This process is also very long. It requires the cultivator¡¯s long-term attention. Every bit of poisonous gas that is analyzed out needs to be promptly catalyzed and refined by the Green-sun Fire of the Spirit Wood to prevent the Spirit Wood from becoming contaminated.¡±


    After hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s words, Chen Mobai thought of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s previous statement that he could use the Everlife Wood to purify the Mother Earth Stone, which should be using this technique.


    Unexpectedly, there is such a technique in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. However, thinking that this is also related to the wood system, I understand.


    It can only be said that the heritage of the ancient Longlife Sect is all-encompassing and unfathomable. I don¡¯t know if I can pull out all the things from the Talent Tree in my lifetime.


    At this moment, three bright lights lit up in the dusty Shaking Mountain Top canyon not far away.


    One of them flew directly to the south.


    Chen Mobai recognized it was Mo Douguang, who did not stay after finishing the matters here.


    ¡°Greetings, Elders.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue flew over, and Chen Mobai and others immediately bowed and greeted.


    ¡°I will go back to the sect first. Junior brother Fu will leave a puppet body to suppress here, and the matters here will be fully entrusted to nephew Chen.¡±


    After getting the Mother Earth Stone, Zhou Shengqing was anxious to go back to purify it, and then tap into its Earth Mother Air to boost his Nascent Soul Formation foundation.


    ¡°Reporting to the elder, when Elder Brother Xie was killing the enemy, he seized five precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms. We aren¡¯t sure how to handle them and need guidance.¡±


    Chen Mobai seized the opportunity to report the matter. This thing was too valuable. Xie Yuntian didn¡¯t dare to embezzle it, so he reported it proactively.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was slightly surprised when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and five jade boxes fell into his hands. When he opened it and took a look, his face showed a look of realization.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take these five. Zong, the kid, needs to refine Foundation Building Pills and improve his alchemy level. Let¡¯s leave these three Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to him. The remaining two, I will graft them onto the Everlife Wood, which happens to be purified together.¡±


    As soon as Zhou Shengqing said this, Yue Zutao immediately took out the three thousand-year-old medicinal herbs he had snatched from the Shaking Mountain Top Medicinal Field. These three were also contaminated by the toxic gas, and they were quite serious, so they were not taken away.


    ¡°You two lads¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said helplessly. But even for him, a Core Formation Elder, the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are very valuable items. They can be directly exchanged for cultivation techniques and magic artifacts at the Core Formation Exchange Meet.


    And this Bead that Breaks Meridians was also something he agreed to smash, it can be regarded as giving himself an own contribution.


    After taking these thousand-year medicinal herbs back to the sect, Chen Mobai and others, under the suppression of Fu Zongjue, returned to the Shaking Mountain Top canyon, which had already stopped shaking.


    They spent a full half month searching the area, ensuring that all the ground had been dug three feet deep, and ensuring that there was no omission before leading most of the troops to retreat.


    This time the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s large army can be said to have returned with a full load. Both the sect disciples and the Loose Cultivators, and even those who guide the party, can be said to have made a killing.

    But there are still many things to deal with afterwards.


    For instance, after the destruction of the Mountain Shaker Peak, there are still many disciples who escaped. With the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s position, they are bound to be chased and eliminated without a trace.


    But beyond these things, the most important thing is to take over the industries of the Mountain Shaker Peak in Rock Country and Sky Country.


    In this regard, according to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s intention, the Divine Wood Sect would take over Rock Country, and Sky Country would be given to Golden Cliff.


    However, Mo Douguang stated that he had enough territory and he was not interested in the wild and mountainous lands at the northernmost end of the Eastern Wilderness, which were separated from the Golden Cliff Main Base by more than half of the Eastern Wilderness. He gave it all to the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 778 - Chapter 778 Chapter 448 Taking Over Two Nations_2

    Chapter 778: Chapter 448: Taking Over Two Nations_2 Chapter 778: Chapter 448: Taking Over Two Nations_2 Upon hearing Mo Douguang¡¯s words, Zhou Shengqing naturally didn¡¯t hold back either.


    As always, the profits collected from both countries will be shared with Golden Cliff, up to thirty percent.


    Not to mention, there are five Spirit Stone mines in Rock Country and one in Sky Country.


    Out of these, two are small Spirit Stone mines, each producing over a million Spirit Stones a year. The remaining four mini Spirit Stone mines contribute about two to three hundred thousand Spirit Stones annually.


    Just these alone are enough for the Divine Wood Sect to recoup the millions of Spirit Stones invested in the war, and even substantially increase the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone income.


    For major sects, the first thing to seize control of after winning a war is the Spirit Stone mines.


    That¡¯s why, after invading Rock Country, Chen Mobai left Yuan Chiye, someone he trusts, at the frontier.


    Now, knowing the exact locations of the other Spirit Stone mines, he has sent a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, along with some Qi Cultivation disciples, to take control of each one.


    Rock Country is famous for its abundance of minerals. Apart from the Spirit Stone mines, there are also various Pure Iron mines needed for making magic artifacts, and even quite a few Earthly Fiend Yin Holes that produce different types of Evil Qi.


    Ji Zhenshi, apart from being a Body Cultivator, is also an Earth Master, a title he earned from finding all of these for Mountain Shaker Peak.


    It¡¯s just a shame that they¡¯re all now the property of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Luckily, the accounting books related to these assets were not burned. In the eyes of the disciples of Mountain Shaker Peak, maintaining their Cultivation Techniques was of utmost importance.


    After Chen Mobai had taken these, he balanced accounts with the local Cultivation families in Rock Country.


    The number of disciples from Mountain Shaker Peak was limited, and so many mines were basically farmed out to lower classes of cultivation families.


    As a result, practically every Cultivation family in Rock Country had developed independently thanks to the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s mines.


    For instance, the Zhuang family from Chang Zhuan Mountain on the frontier became prosperous due to the two nearby Spirit Stone mines.


    After Chen Mobai confirmed all the assets in Rock Country and Sky Country owned by Mountain Shaker Peak, he reported it to Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Let Chu Zuoshu send someone over to take over, and the disciples here should return in batches. The sect will send disciples from several logistical departments over.¡±


    After Fu Zongjue was satisfied with the thick stack of accounts, he began to issue withdrawal orders.


    ¡°Now that the affairs here are almost settled, let me lead the disciples back.¡±


    Having defeated Mountain Shaker Peak, Chen Mobai felt it was senseless to remain here any longer, so he wanted to request to go back to the sect to continue his cultivation and farming.


    ¡°You should stay here for half a year. Both nations have just been integrated under my Divine Wood Sect, and the situation is unstable. With you here, I can be slightly more at ease.¡±


    Upon hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, Chen Mobai had no choice but to nod with a forced smile.


    The next day, Chen Mobai disbanded his army.


    Xie Yuntian, who needed to return to heal his arm, immediately led one thousand Divine Wood Sect disciples onto the Floating Airship back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, neither the local Cultivation families of Rock Country nor the Loose Cultivators left immediately.


    They set up stalls on the spot and began trading and selling the spoils from the war, aiming to exchange them for valuable Spiritual Objects that could benefit them.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t drive away these meritorious ministers, so he let them be.


    They set up in a Spiritual Vein Land twenty kilometers away from Mountain Shaker Peak. The place, known as Mount Wu Liu, served as an annex of Mountain Shaker Peak. On the mountain, there were thirty mu of Spirit Fields growing a substantial amount of Qingkuo Spirit Rice.


    However, because of the war, all of the Spirit Fields here have now been abandoned.


    Thus, it was neatly organized for Yue Zutao to transplant the herbs from the Mountain Shaker Peak medicinal field. All Spirit Plant Masters in the army were drafted by him.


    As long as you knew something about Spirit Plants, following Yue Zutao every day for transplantation could earn you ten Spirit Stones.


    A certified Rank-1 Spirit Plant Master, on the other hand, could earn thirty Spirit Stones daily.


    A local Cultivation family surnamed Dai from Rock Country, famous for its Spirit Plants, had five Rank-2 Spirit Plant Masters, who could earn a hundred Spirit Stones per day.


    After fussing around with the team for half a month, Yue Zutao finally managed to transplant all the precious herbs from Mountain Shaker Peak into the Spirit Fields of Mount Wu Liu.


    After transplantation, the Spirit Plant Masters needed to take great care of them.


    Luckily, the sect logistics support team arrived at this point.


    Fu Huakun and his Spirit Plant and Spirit Vein teams, totaling three hundred people, arrived. Shi Fengping, the head of the Spirit Plant Department, personally came as well.


    With his takeover, Yue Zutao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    As for the Spirit Vein Department, its head Ma Gang also personally came.


    After talking with him, Chen Mobai found out that he had come over to take charge of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine at Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Ma Gang had led people to mine Void Stone in Lonely Spirit Ridge for many years, so he was extremely familiar with this precious vein, hence Chu Zuoshu called him over.


    ¡°The Void Mysterious Stone Mine here was mined personally by Mountain Shaker Peak without employing any cultivator families. However, a part of this vein was sold to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace by Ji Zhenshi, which might cause some trouble,¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the mining log he had organized to Ma Gang ¡ª the latter was the professional in this area.


    ¡°The people of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace will probably arrive soon. I will first check how much of the Void Stone is leftover in the mine.¡±


    After receiving the log, Ma Gang clasped his hands at Chen Mobai, then led his team away.


    With the Spirit Plant and Spirit Vein Departments taking over, Chen Mobai finally relaxed a bit.


    Three months quickly passed.


    During these three months, despite the situation having been decided, the figures of Mountain Shaker Peak disciples could still be spotted frequently across Rock Country and Sky Country.


    Some were chased and killed by aspiring cultivator families after their identities were exposed. Others were found by greedy rogue cultivators.


    It¡¯s well known that those who escaped Mountain Shaker Peak definitely had taken some resources from this major sect of the Eastern Wilderness and were thus loaded.


    After Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed by the Divine Wood Sect, these people became walking treasure troves.


    Rogue cultivators loved these people the most.


    It was said that rogue cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness swarmed into Rock Country and Sky Country to hunt down the escapees of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    In these three months, Chen Mobai, who was stationed in the Five Willow Mountain of Rock Country, didn¡¯t even need to lift a finger. The local cultivator families frequently presented the heads of Mountain Shaker Peak disciples, in order to show their loyalty.


    However, by now, there were very few remaining Mountain Shaker Peak escapees.


    If they hadn¡¯t been wiped out, they had already escaped outside the Eastern Wilderness.


    Those who couldn¡¯t escape had essentially all changed their identities.


    ¡°Master, Elder Fu invites you to come over,¡± said Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai was playing chess with Yue Zutao. Hearing this, he put down his chess piece.


    The Golden Core Cultivator would definitely not find him without a serious matter.


    Chen Mobai had his disciple help him tidy up his clothes before heading over to Fu Zongjue.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body was still at Mountain Shaker Peak. Since the puppet was driven by spirit stones, the residual poisonous gas here had no effect on him.


    ¡°Greetings, Elder.¡±


    But today, besides Fu Zongjue, there were three other people.


    One of them was indeed Ma Gang, but the other two, one old, one young, were both dressed in golden robes and seemed indifferent.


    Chen Mobai recognized them¨Ctheir clothes were the same as Xuan Qiao¡¯s, but the patterns were more complex.


    People from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace!


    After this thought crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, he saluted Fu Zongjue.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°These two are Adept Zhao Xuankang and Adept Nanxuan Jing.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a slight shock. Because he hadn¡¯t used his Void Spirit Eye, he hadn¡¯t discovered that both of them were Golden Core Cultivators.


    ¡°Nice to meet the two Adepts!¡±


    During the conversation, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel. The Eastern Yi Clan, being a major sect with a Nascent Soul cultivator, had two Golden Core adepts the moment they came.


    ¡°So it was you who killed Qiao and Jin Zhi.¡±

 Chapter 779 - Chapter 779 Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_1

    Chapter 779: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_1 Chapter 779: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_1 The one speaking was a young Golden Robe Cultivator named Nanxuan Jing from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    However, judging from his eyes, he seemed to be quite old, having possibly consumed something like a ZhiYan Pill.


    Listening to his blunt comments, Chen Mobai paused momentarily but didn¡¯t deny anything and simply nodded.


    ¡°On the battlefield, those two helped the opposing camp against our Divine Wood Sect and didn¡¯t show mercy to our Sect Disciples like Brother Xie. Hence, I judged them as the enemy and killed them both.¡±


    This happened openly on the battlefield, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan to back down and admitted it.


    His words, however, surprised the two members of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid we¡¯ll blame you?¡±


    ¡°Blame me? On the battlefield, if one is not as good as the other, it¡¯s only natural for that person to die. Are you two seniors trying to bully the weak?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow and began gauging the comparative strengths of both parties. It was just too bad that Zhou Shengqing had returned to the Giant Tree Ridge, leaving only Fu Zongjue here.


    He was uncertain whether he could manage a Gold Core true man using the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Qiao and Jin Zhi were my disciples. You killed them and you need to give me an explanation.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing started speaking coldly, his eyes shining with a golden light. But at this time, Fu Zongjue stepped in front of him.


    ¡°Well, the disciples from your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace appeared in the Battle Array at Shake Mountain, and even helped them to attack our Divine Wood Sect. Shouldn¡¯t you also be giving us an explanation?¡±


    When Fu Zongjue spoke, his tone was not very polite either.


    ¡°You are not my match, so you do not have the right to seek an explanation from me.¡±


    Amidst the candid talk of Nanxuan Jing, an overwhelming spiritual pressure erupted, clearly showing that he was beyond Fu Zongjue in the realm.


    ¡°Is your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace ready to invade the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    Fu Zongjue frowned and began to warn Nanxuan Jing not to overstep.


    ¡°This savage place isn¡¯t important. Even during your Five Elements Sect¡¯s peak period, our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace could easily trample over it. Do you really believe that your Divine Wood Sect can stop us?¡±


    Nanxuan Jing¡¯s words made Fu Zongjue¡¯s anger rise, but he also knew he was stating a fact.


    The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, being one of the three major factions of the East Barbarians, not only had a Nascent Soul Ancestor sitting in the house, but nine Core Formation real people and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    Even if all six major sects of the Eastern Wilderness came together, their strength wouldn¡¯t be a match for the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°Brother Nan, today we have come to discuss the settlement of Ji Zhenshi¡¯s old debt to our company. About the incident of your two disciples, let¡¯s not mention it for now.¡±


    At this time, Zhao Xuankang started speaking.


    Hearing this, Nanxuan Jing frowned slightly but huffed coldly and walked away.


    ¡°Please forgive us, Master Fu, my Brother is simply overwhelmed by the sorrow of losing his two disciples.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang spoke softly with a faint smile, yet the meaning behind his words was clear to Chen Mobai.


    Fu Zongjue: ¡°What does Ji Zhenshi¡¯s debt to your Xuan Xiao Trade Association have to do with our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang: ¡°When Ji Zhenshi became a Guest Elder of our company, he mortgaged his Void Mysterious Stone Mine to us in order to purchase a Body Forging Cultivation Technique for Nascent Soul Formation. Although he is now dead, the mine is still there. To avoid any loss on our side, we need to reclaim it according to the agreement.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t help but become angry.


    The Divine Wood Sect had mobilized its sect and followers from four countries twice to finally take down Shake Mountain and conquer this two-country land, yet Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace wanted to easily take away the precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine. This made him outraged.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, should the Divine Wood Sect repay Ji Zhenshi¡¯s debt? Do you think that is fair?¡±


    Fu Zongjue spoke coldly, obviously unwilling to agree.


    ¡°Master Fu, if you don¡¯t agree, then this would become bad debt. The Body Forging Cultivation Technique Ji Zhenshi received was taken from our Grand Elder¡¯s collection. When he finds out about this, he might not be as easy-going as I am.¡±


    Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s Grand Elder was that Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai and Ma Gang¡¯s faces changed. Fu Zongjue fell silent too.


    A Nascent Soul person, even within the celestial gates, was at the pinnacle of power.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, this was indeed an invincible power that could sweep over all major sects.


    ¡°When I was looking over Shake Mountain¡¯s accounts, I noticed that the agreement Ji Zhenshi initially signed with your trade company stated a 20% share of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke up, and Zhao Xuankang smiled and pulled out a more recent agreement from his storage bag.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Last year, considering the long-lasting war with your Divine Wood Sect, Ji Zhenshi appreciated that he couldn¡¯t stand against you with his solo power. Therefore, he mortgaged all of the remaining Void Mysterious Stone Mine shares to our company, in exchange for our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to send people to help his Shake Mountain defeat the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang showed the agreement which indeed carried the dual seals of Ji Zhenshi and Shake Mountain.


    ¡°But you didn¡¯t act, did you?¡±


    Ma Gang from the sidelines could not help but speak up.


    ¡°Our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has many procedures, and needs a lot of approvals for sending out a large number of disciples. Brother Nan and Ji Zhenshi had a good relationship, so he sent a group of disciples here first.¡±

 Chapter 780 - Chapter 780 Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_2

    Chapter 780: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_2 Chapter 780: Chapter 449 Zhao Xuankang_2 ¡°Nevertheless, I had a chance meeting with Zhou from your Divine Wood Sect and he gave me a favor. So, I had delayed the matter in the Dao Palace, giving you enough time to annihilate the Mountain Shaker Peak.¡±


    ¡°Because of this, my current situation in the Dao Palace is a bit challenging. If I don¡¯t take the Void Mysterious Stone Mine back, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to seek other ways to get it from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang¡¯s words were more direct. After revealing that he had had dealings with Zhou Shengqing, he made no attempt to hide his threat.


    Underlying this was the implication that if he didn¡¯t get the mine, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s army would descend upon them, and the Nascent Soul elder himself might demand it personally.


    ¡°Oh? Brother Zhou hadn¡¯t mentioned anything to me about this.¡±


    Fu Zongjue furrowed his brows after hearing this but managed to keep his composure.


    ¡°Elder Fu can discuss with Elder Zhou about this. I¡¯ll come back with Brother Nan in three days.¡±


    After saying this, Zhao Xuankang left with a smile on his face, taking Nanxuan Jing with him.


    ¡°That guy is as crafty as always.¡±


    Fu Zongjue looked at the disappearing figure of Zhao Xuankang and couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    ¡°Oh, the ancestor dealt with him before?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked after hearing this.


    ¡°Back when the five veins hadn¡¯t separated, Zhao Xuankang was a guest of the Five Elements Sect. We had crossed paths a few times.¡±


    Fu Zongjue said this and then took out a talisman to contact Zhou Shengqing.


    Green smoke slowly rose, forming the virtual image of Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Although I had made contact with him originally, Zhao Xuankang intends to play both sides to increase his benefits. It is only because the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak are evenly matched that he can better squeeze the industry of Mountain Shaker Peak.¡±


    ¡°He underestimated us and certainly did not expect Ji Zhenshi to die so soon, within just half a year. That¡¯s why he hurried over to get more benefits.¡±


    ¡°Let them have this Void Mysterious Stone Mine since they want it. After all, we need to save face for the Nascent Soul elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke the last part with a hint of helplessness in his voice.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s power in the Eastern Wilderness was ranked among the top, it was no match for the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Despite his connection in the Sun Bathing Sea, after the Hun Yuan ancestor passed away, there was no way to ask other Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to stand against the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    After much consideration, he could only submit.


    Three days later.


    Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing arrived, and after receiving the expected answer from Fu Zongjue¡¯s mouth, they exchanged glances and nodded.


    However, they then took out another contract.


    ¡°In addition to the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, Ji Zhenshi had also mortgaged two small Spirit Stone Mines within Rock Country to us to raise the Spirit Stones needed to hire Loose Practitioner Robs Practitioner.¡±


    Hearing Zhao Xuankang¡¯s words, Fu Zongjue was furious.


    ¡°The most valuable assets of Rock Country are these three mines. Your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is going too far.¡±


    ¡°Elder Fu, aren¡¯t you doing the same to Mountain Shaker Peak in the Eastern Wilderness? In our world, it¡¯s survival of the fittest. Isn¡¯t that the philosophy of cultivation?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang smiled, saying a sentence that made Fu Zongjue clench his fists.


    ¡°The Void Mysterious Stone Mine is the last bottom line. If your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace wants the two Spirit Stone Mines, you¡¯ll have to justify it through battle.¡±


    Fu Zongjue well understood the saying ¡®give them an inch and they¡¯ll take a mile¡¯. If he gave in again, Zhao Xuankang might take out more contracts and take away all the businesses that Mountain Shaker Peak owned.


    Therefore, he firmly refused and showed his determination to fight if necessary.


    ¡°In that case, I was worried that we didn¡¯t have an excuse to mobilize the troops from the Dao Palace to take revenge for my two disciples. Since Elder Fu has put it this way, your Divine Wood Sect should prepare for the onslaught of our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing, who had been silent all along, said with a sneer.


    Chen Mobai, who was on the side, frowned slightly. He had thought that once they had conquered Mountain Shaker Peak, he could safely cultivate in the Eastern Wilderness until he achieved Core Formation.


    Unexpectedly, the struggles between the sects in the Tianhe Realm were much more direct than he had imagined.


    The Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t even absorbed the spoils from the wars with Rock Country and Sky Country, but the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, who had been watching them all along, was ready to strike like a crossing dragon.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that only your Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has a Primordial Infant Great Cultivator backing it up!¡±


    Fu Zongjue said coldly. Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, he actually didn¡¯t know that the Divine Wood Sect had such a backing!


    ¡°When it comes to allegiance, the Five Elements Sect is even more legitimate than your Divine Wood Sect. If our Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to approach them, I believe the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect would be more than willing to join forces with us to eliminate you, the traitors of the two veins.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang said a sentence that made Fu Zongjue¡¯s heart suddenly cold.


    Indeed, due to the connection with Hun Yuan, the Five Elements Sect is the rightful inheritor. If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace of the Eastern Wasteland were to ally with the Five Elements Sect, they wouldn¡¯t stand a chance.


    ¡°Two Spirit Stone Mines are absolutely unacceptable, we can give you one at most.¡±


    As soon as Fu Zongjue said this, it represented his submission.


    Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing looked at each other, smiles appearing on their lips, but they insisted on seizing the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the two small-scale Spirit Stone Mines.


    ¡°I need to report this matter to Elder Brother Zhou.¡±


    Fu Zongjue could only delay again.


    ¡°We will return in three days, by then I think we should be able to see Brother Zhou again.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang smiled confidently and turned to leave with Nanxuan Jing once more.


    Sure enough, after receiving Fu Zongjue¡¯s report, Zhou Shengqing came over through the Teleportation Array, despite grunting angrily.


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing had no choice but to intervene.


    ¡°Zhao, there is a limit to what can be done.¡±


    Upon meeting Zhao Xuankang, Zhou Shengqing said coldly.


    ¡°This is our last offer: if you give us the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the two small-scale Spirit Stone Mines to offset the bad debt left by Ji Zhenshi, we can write off the deaths of our junior brothers Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang stated solemnly. Facing Zhou Shengqing, Nanxuan Jing no longer appeared as indifferent as before, obviously respecting him as the number one cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland.


    ¡°It¡¯s settled. Let¡¯s make the oath of Dao Heart.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was a decisive man. As long as he could trade his losses for time for his Nascent Soul Formation, he could recover all of today¡¯s losses with interest in the future.


    ¡°Brother Zhou is as straightforward as he was before, I have prepared for this.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang took out two identical contracts after getting his desirable gain.


    Then under the witnesses, they made their Dao Heart promises, each taking one copy.


    ¡°In the future, Brother Nan will bring the disciples of our lineage from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to establish a branch here, and we will be neighbors. We look forward to your continued care.¡±


    After concluding the matter, Zhao Xuankang introduced Nanxuan Jing who was standing beside him.


    Chen Mobai only felt that all actions of his Divine Wood Sect seemed to be calculatively worked out by the other party.


    It was no wonder that they watched as the Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, perhaps the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace also had a hand in the incident at Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Since Brother Nan is setting up a sect here, remember the old saying, ¡®A close neighbor is better than a distant relative.¡¯


    Zhou Shengqing said this with a fake smile, causing Nanxuan Jing to furrow his brows, his spiritual power surging.


    Their forces clashed, causing Nanxuan Jing to let out a stifled hum.


    ¡°Well, we will take our leave first then, the Elder is still waiting for our report.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang saw this scene, his expression unfazed. He grabbed Nanxuan Jing¡¯s hand, tore through Zhou Shengqing¡¯s force, and turned to leave.


    They flew out to a distant mountain peak before stopping.

    ¡°Brother, what levle of cultivation do you guess Zhou Shengqing has reached?¡±


    ¡°He pretends to be at the late stage of Core Formation, but it¡¯s likely he has reached Perfection. He agreed to our harsh conditions this time, which shows his desperation to gain time for Nascent Soul Formation. Although the likelihood of him forming a nascent soul is slim due to his age, his roots, and the scarcity of resources in the Eastern Wasteland, it¡¯s better to try and sabotage him.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing said calmly, his face no longer filled with the arrogance from before, but the details of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s situation that he had probed out.


    ¡°If things really come to that point, I will trade my life for his.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang took out the contract bound by the Dao Heart oath and said coldly.

 Chapter 781 - Chapter 781 Chapter 450 Planning for the Golden Elixir

    Chapter 781: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_1 Chapter 781: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_1 ¡°One day, I will slaughter these two.¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned and thought to himself as he watched Zhao Xuankang and the other man leave.


    After experiencing two wars with Mountain Shaker Peak, a dismissive murderous intent towards life had unconsciously sprouted in his heart.


    ¡°Nephew Chen, there¡¯s no need for anger, this has been the law in the Tianhe Realm since ancient times. Ever since the Mother of Water created this world, big fish eat small fish, it¡¯s the law of the Dao.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing walked to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, his face no longer held the anger from before when he faced Zhao Xuankang and the other man, as if his previous expression was just for show.


    ¡°Has everything that¡¯s been since ancient times been right?¡±


    Chen Mobai countered with a question. Having grown up in the Immortal Sect and educated by their values, he was still not accustomed to the survival of the fittest rule in the Tianhe Realm.


    His statement left Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue stunned. The two Golden Core Cultivators were silent and didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    ¡°Honored ancestors, actually giving the Void Mysterious Stone Mine to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace may not be such a significant loss.¡±


    At this time, Ma Gang saw that the atmosphere was slightly off and came over to say something.


    ¡°Oh, how so?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing asked curiously.


    ¡°The Void Mysterious Stone Mine of Mountain Shaker Peak is a miniature vein and it has actually almost been exhausted. If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to take over, it would probably be completely depleted in three to five years.¡±


    As the head of the Spirit Vein department, Ma Gang had spent these days inspecting the deposits of various veins at Mountain Shaker Peak around Rock Country. Although he hadn¡¯t finished inspecting all of them, he had nearly examined the most important veins.


    He originally planned to delay reporting this not-so-good news to Fu Zongjue for a while, but now an unexpected situation had arisen.


    ¡°No wonder Ji Zhenshi has not been as generous in Eastern Yi territory these years and had to mortgage his own veins to the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to exchange for spirit stones, it¡¯s because he has already went broke.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue found it eye-opening and his previously dissatisfied expression cleared a lot.


    If the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was still in the hands of the Divine Wood Sect, this would naturally be bad news, but now it seemed more of a good news for them.


    ¡°The disciples of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace are all in Eastern Yi territory. If they want to send people here to mine, it will probably take some time. We can mobilize the disciples of the Spirit Vein department to thoroughly mine the three veins that are supposed to be transferred to them within this period.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengqing immediately instructed Ma Gang, who nodded and set off to handle this matter.


    ¡°We should also be wary of them mobilizing the local Immortal Cultivation families for help.¡±


    Fu Zongjue added, and Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone and informed Zhou Wangshen, asking him to send people to keep an eye on the major families still on Five Willow Mountain. Once anyone from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace appeared, they could intervene.


    Even if they couldn¡¯t prevent them from cooperating with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, at the very least, they could deter them for this period, giving the Spirit Vein department more time to mine.


    ¡°With the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace establishing a branch here in the Eastern Wilderness, it seems that the rumor about their senior elder¡¯s approaching end is true.¡±


    After Ma Gang left, only the three of them remained at the scene.


    After this war, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had already seen Chen Mobai as the future of the Divine Wood Sect, and they no longer avoided him when speaking.


    ¡°Oh, you mean the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace fears that their senior elder will be suppressed and swallowed by the other two sects in the Eastern Yi after his death, so they¡¯ve already set up an escape route here in the Eastern Wilderness in advance.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who had also visited the Eastern Yi Territory numerous times, had also heard about the struggles between the three major sects.


    The struggle between the Nascent Soul Cultivators is fierce.


    In the past, Elder Hun Yuan served as an external aid to the Sun Bathing Sea, and had battled with Nascent Soul Cultivators from the other two factions in the Eastern Yi.


    And although outsiders do not know the exact lifespan of the senior elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, based on his cultivation time, they know he must be at least over seven hundred years old.


    Although Nascent Soul Cultivators are said to live a thousand years, they frequently battle in the Tianhe Realm. Each Nascent Soul Cultivator grew up in a sea of blood and corpses, and most of them have been injured.


    The senior elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has rarely battled in the past two hundred years, but he has been constantly collecting various life-extending elixirs. Various signs revealed an incoming dusk that he could not hide.


    Although there are many among the Golden Core Cultivators of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace who have tried to complete the Nascent Soul Formation, they have all fallen short.


    Therefore, based on these speculations, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might have sent Nanxuan Jing to open a branch in the Eastern Wilderness as a way of preserving a backup plan.


    ¡°This is only my guess, but if it is indeed true, then the Xuan Xiao senior elder might use the last of his energy to blood-wash the Eastern Wilderness before his death, ensuring that his sect lineage doesn¡¯t face strong threats for the next few hundred years.¡±

    Once Zhou Shengqing said this, Fu Zongjue¡¯s face looked even more worried.


    ¡°According to the style of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, this is very likely. The only way to break this situation is likely for you to succeed in achieving Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Upon hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became very serious.


    He was all too aware of the power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. After all, in the Immortal Sect TV dramas, people of this realm were often pitted against the final villain.


    If it was the eve of death, they would definitely become even crazier.

 Chapter 782 - Chapter 782 Chapter 450 Planning for the Golden Elixir

    Chapter 782: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_2 Chapter 782: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_2 ¡°Do what we can. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, take our family and dependents to the East Land to seek the protection of the One Yuan Taoist Palace; they should help us out of goodwill.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice was calm, but he was actually getting ready to make a desperate attempt. After all, he isn¡¯t young anymore and if it weren¡¯t for the Longevity Sutra, his body would have aged and he wouldn¡¯t have a chance to reach Nascent Soul Formation.


    Therefore, this is definitely his only chance in his life, and even if he dies, he has to take this step.


    ¡°If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace wants to create a retreat in the Eastern Wilderness, then they will not overstep their boundaries before the death of that Nascent Soul cultivator. But they definitely won¡¯t refrain from small movements in secret. This is what Zhao Xuankang is best at. While I¡¯m in seclusion, you both need to be careful.¡±


    The last sentence of Zhou Shengqing was directed at Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai. The latter was stunned, obviously he had not expected that he now held such a status in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do my best. Nephew Chen is decisive and talented. When the situation in Rock Country and Sky Country stabilizes, you should focus on cultivating and improving your realm in the sect. If we have a few more Golden Core cultivators, even if we¡¯re up against the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace or other major sects in the future, we in the Divine Wood Sect will be able to cope better.¡±


    With just a few words, the future plan of the Divine Wood Sect for the next few decades was laid out.


    Zhou Shengqing would be in seclusion to strive for Nascent Soul Formation, Fu Zongjue would handle the overall situation, while talents like Chen Mobai and Yin Qingmei of the Honghe River would focus on improving their realm. When they are about to reach the perfection of Foundation Establishment, the sect will collect some Golden Core spiritual materials and then send them to the Sun Bathing Sea to try forming their cores.


    ¡°Before I go into seclusion, I will also visit the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness and remind people like Yan Shaoyin about this matter. These guys are all old foxes. They all understand Zhao Xuankang¡¯s character, and as long as they¡¯ve been warned, even if they don¡¯t resist the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, at least they won¡¯t stand against us in the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Having said this, Zhou Shengqing took another step. After the fall of Mountain Shaker Peak, the Divine Wood Sect had developed the reputation as the top sect in the Eastern Wilderness, and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was rampaging in. These two major forces were bound to have conflicts in Rock Country.


    If the other major sects of the Eastern Wilderness understand the principle of ¡°when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold¡±, then they will definitely stand with the Divine Wood Sect.


    Zhou Shengqing wants to plant this seed in the hearts of the other Golden Core cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Elders, there is another thing that I have no opportunity to mention.¡±


    After listening to the two elders¡¯ plans, Chen Mobai suddenly felt that this was a great opportunity. After careful consideration, he finally decided to speak up as Zhou Shengqing was preparing to leave.


    ¡°Oh, what is it?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue indeed looked over curiously.


    ¡°Actually, before the battle with Mountain Shaker Peak began, I was looking forward to my decisive battle with Ji Dingjin. While in seclusion, I entered a kind of Enlightenment State, and when I woke up, I found that I had broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue both opened their eyes wide in disbelief!


    Immediately after, Chen Mobai activated his Red Flame Sword Jue, revealing the strong spiritual power fluctuation of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°Prodigy¡­ no, you¡¯re a prodigy among prodigies!¡±


    ¡°Are you the rumored exceptional Spiritual Body, or the reincarnation of a heavenly immortal from the upper realm?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue were both excited, even to the point of speaking incoherently.


    They remember clearly that this person in front of them just entered the Divine Wood Sect ten years ago.


    And when he joined, he was merely a Qi practitioner.


    To achieve Foundation Establishment within ten years is already considered a rare super prodigy in the Divine Wood Sect.


    But this young man in front of them not only achieved Foundation Establishment, he even broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment at an unstoppable pace. This frightening rate of progress is unheard of in the history of the Divine Wood Sect and even the Five Elements Sect.


    Even if the elder Hun Yuan were alive, he would probably pop his eyes out when he saw a prodigy like Chen Mobai who progresses so quickly.


    ¡°Nephew Chen, from now on, you should cultivate at the Giant Tree Ridge and ignore other matters. When you feel that you are about to achieve perfection in Foundation Establishment, leave the Eastern Wilderness quietly through the sect¡¯s teleportation array. I will arrange for you to go to the Sun Bathing Sea to form your core.¡±


    After the elation, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue slowly calmed down.


    They discussed it and decided to collect Golden Elixir spiritual medicine under the name of the Divine Wood Sect on the surface, pretending it was for Chu Zuoshu, but in reality it was for Chen Mobai.

    ¡°We only have two top-grade Residing in the Void Fungi left. We¡¯ll keep one for propagation and pick the other when the time is right. I¡¯ll personally go to see Yan Shaoyin. This fungus combined with the Purple Extreme Ginseng from the Back to Sky Valley can be used to make a batch of Dragon Mushroom Pills. This pill can protect the body from breaking during core formation and also increase the chances of success in forming the core.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just afraid Yan Shaoyin won¡¯t give up his Purple Extreme Ginseng.¡±


    Fu Zongjue shook his head slightly. As the number one Alchemy Grandmaster in the Eastern Wilderness, Yan Shaoyin owns the largest medicinal field in the Eastern Wilderness. After the death of Elder Hun Yuan, no one has been able to force him to make elixir anymore.


    Last time Zhou Shengqing stepped forward, Yan Shaoyin flatly refused to make a batch of Dragon Mushroom Pills for Meng Hong.


    ¡°This time is different. His apprentice also broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage not long ago. Yan Shaoyin wants to make a batch of rank-4 elixir for core formation. He must want to make the Dragon Mushroom Pill too. If I offer to trade one piece of Residing in the Void Fungus for one pill, and throw in some other herbs, he might be very willing.¡±

 Chapter 783 - Chapter 783 Chapter 450 Planning for the Golden Elixir

    Chapter 783: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_3 Chapter 783: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_3 After hearing what Zhou Shengqing said, Chen Mobai¡¯s ideas became clearer. He pondered his words for a moment, then began to speak, his words leaving the two Elders even more astonished and terrified.


    ¡°Respected Elders, after my breakthrough to the late phase of Foundation Establishment, I was transported into the Divine Tree Secret Realm. There, I obtained a prescription for a potion called the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill. This Rank-4 elixir, used by the ancient Longevity Sect to assist their members in Core Formation, increases the probability of successful Core Formation by 20% when consumed by cultivators.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhou Shengqing was so overwhelmed by surprise that he nearly lost his breath, while Fu Zongjue, although he was a Puppet, seemed to have temporarily become frozen, standing in complete shock for several moments.


    ¡°Is this recipe genuine!?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, having regained his composure, quickly produced a vibrant spirit talisman. He set up a barrier enveloping the three of them, then asked in an excited tone.


    ¡°When I was a Loose Cultivator, I once came across an Elixir Scripture at a stall. I studied it, giving me some understanding of Alchemy Technique. After examining it, I saw no issues, but I would be more at ease if the Elders could verify it.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already prepared the recipe for the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill. He pulled it out of his storage bag, and handed it over to Zhou Shengqing. Fu Zongjue quickly came closer to read along with him.


    Most of the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness were jacks-of-all-trades. Zhou Shengqing had once concocted a Rank-3 elixir, which by their standards made him a Rank-3 alchemist.


    After he had read through the entire recipe for the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill three times, his eyes sparkled and his voice quivered with excitement.


    ¡°The Divine Wood Sect is surely destined to flourish!¡±


    After saying these words, Zhou Shengqing stared at Chen Mobai earnestly before speaking again.


    ¡°Chen nephew, this recipe is incredibly precious. Although sect rules claim that anything found within the Divine Tree Secret Realm is one¡¯s own to keep, I feel that I must take this recipe on behalf of the sect.¡±


    ¡°I offered this recipe with the intent of giving it to the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied confidently, then waited to see what rewards the two Elders would present to him.


    ¡°Ha ha ha ha, you¡­¡±


    Realizing what Chen Mobai was implying, Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and shake his head.


    ¡°Brother, Chen nephew has made great contributions during the battle against the Mountain Shaker Peak, and now he has also presented us with the Longevity Sect¡¯s Rank-4 elixir recipe. I think we have every reason to reward him generously.¡±


    Fu Zongjue seemed quite satisfied with Chen Mobai as well, joining in the conversation to back him up.


    ¡°What do you propose as an appropriate reward, brother?¡±


    ¡°Considering the extreme value of this Rank-4 elixir recipe, not to mention that it¡¯s a Core Formation spiritual medicine of the Longevity Sect, it¡¯s worth at least ten million spirit stones in the outside world. I think it would be best if the sect itself undertakes the process of concocting this Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill, and then bestows the finished pill upon our nephew as his due reward. This will also serve to acknowledge the great contribution he made during the war.¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s comments hit the nail on the head. Chen Mobai would have no idea how long it would take him to gather the necessary resources to make this Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill on his own. Especially when it comes to obtaining the eight main ingredients of Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, it would be impossible even with spirit stones at his disposal. It would be best if the sect would take care of it.


    However, even the Divine Wood Sect alone might not be successful in this endeavor. They would probably need to collaborate with the Back to Sky Valley and Yan Shaoyin, the top alchemy grandmaster of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Most importantly, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t particularly confident in their alchemical abilities. Even as talented as Yan Shaoyin was, he most certainly couldn¡¯t succeed in concocting the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill in one attempt.


    The Spirit Stones required to make one such pill might easily exceed one million. Chen Mobai definitely could not afford it.


    Only the combined might of the Divine Wood Sect and the Back to Sky Valley could possibly succeed in producing such a Rank-4 elixir in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai handed the elixir recipe to Zhou Shengqing. At first, the clever elder didn¡¯t quite catch on, but he quickly understood Chen Mobai¡¯s intentions.


    Following this, Fu Zongjue also chimed in, and it was clear they both were extremely pleased with Chen Mobai¡¯s excellent performance as a sect disciple.


    ¡°We will not record this elixir recipe as a contribution to the sect, so as to prevent others from finding out. As for your contribution to the war, I will officially record it as 200,000 points of merit. However, the sect will not transfer these points to you. I will inform Chu Zuoshu that I have personally transferred these points to you.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show his joy and immediately thank him.


    His contributions to taking down Mountain Shaker Peak and procuring the elixir recipe were seen as significant enough to warrant having the sect prepare the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill for him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Having taken possession of this recipe, I¡¯m certain I can make Yan Shaoyin kneel before me, begging to be allowed to use it. You focus wholeheartedly on continuing with your cultivation and improving your realm. Regardless of how much the sect has to spend, we will make sure we produce at least one Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, respected Elders!¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai felt a great sense of relief.


    Compared to the Jade Return Rejuvenation Pill, the attainment of Perfection in the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment, opening up the Gold Core domain and breaking through to the next level of Divine Consciousness are not nearly as important.


    With this, he was finally free of any obstacles on his path to Core Formation!

 Chapter 784 - Chapter 784 Chapter 451 Opening the Storage Bag _1

    Chapter 784: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag _1 Chapter 784: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag _1 Five Willows Mountain.


    Because it is garrisoned by the Divine Wood Sect led by Chen Mobai, after the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, it has become the communication center of the cultivator realm in Rock Country.


    In a very short time, buildings made of wood and stone sprang up, creating a large Fang Market.


    However, cultivators don¡¯t have much sense of planning, so the market is somewhat disorderly.


    After Chen Mobai resolved the issue with the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, in a good mood, he took his disciple for a stroll in the market. After realizing this, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head slightly.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, when she was by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, was completely focused on observing her master¡¯s mood. She noticed immediately and asked.


    ¡°The Fang Market spontaneously formed in Five Willows Mountain. Because of our sect stationed here, it is safe without any problems. However, the houses are randomly arranged, lack aesthetics, and the lanes are chaotic, lacking regularity, which leads to many crowded places. Overall, it gives a sense of chaos, which is not good.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke freely to his disciple, expressing his thoughts.


    ¡°Master, do you want to give an order for a complete modification?¡±


    Luo Yixuan asked again. After the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, under the circumstances where the two Core Formation elders were uninvolved, Chen Mobai, the main commander, has become the highest-ranking figure in the rock country¡¯s cultivator realm.


    If he voices his opinion, even if the whole market had to be leveled, no one would dare to dissent.


    ¡°There is no need for that. Rather than destroying and rebuilding, I prefer to start afresh and establish something new.¡±


    In this way, it won¡¯t cause any disruption to the current market on Five Willows Mountain.


    He was already looking for a location, planning to lead the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to another Rank-3 Spirit Vein location in Rock Country soon, and build a well-planned large market there.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t fully understand Chen Mobai¡¯s words, but that did not stop her from keeping them in her heart. She believed that once her realm improved, she would definitely understand completely.


    ¡°Ores refined by the Earth Master of Shake Mountain, selling at a discount¡­¡±


    ¡°The true Body Forging Cultivation Technique of Shake Mountain, Complete Qi Cultivation copy, can make a vow of the Dao Heart to guarantee the original¡­¡±


    ¡°Second-hand magic artifact, only used by me in this war, selling at a discount for Spirit Stones¡­¡±


    ¡°Rank-1 talisman parchments¡­¡±


    The master and disciple walked through the bustling market, amused by the boards and the loud cries from both sides of the road.


    Chen Mobai found Earth Master heritage and Rank-2 Earthly Beast Qi at the market in Rolling Thunder Mountain last time, so he was also interested in taking a look after handling some of the upper-management affairs this time.


    ¡°Master, this seems quite nice.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was attracted to an exquisitely luminous jade pendant on a stall. The fiery red pendant seemed particularly bright and glossy against her fair and delicate skin.


    ¡°A Rank-1 intermediate-grade magic artifact, wearing it keeps one safe from harmful influences and cold. It also has a slight nourishing effect on the divine sense, so it¡¯s not bad.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s knowledge of treasure appraisal is rudimentary, he is a star student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, about to graduate. He can easily identify these Rank-1 magic artifacts, and can even reverse-engineer the refining methods and formulas.


    ¡°Fellow daoist, how much does this artifact cost¡­¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately started bargaining with the stall owner after hearing this.


    While she was doing this, Chen Mobai began browsing other stalls.


    Although he hid his own cultivation level, his demeanor, being beyond that of Qi Practitioners, made the stall owners guess his abilities, and they all took out their best items.


    Unfortunately, for someone who has attained the realm of Chen Mobai, even ordinary Rank-2 spiritual objects don¡¯t serve much purpose.


    When Luo Yixuan happily bought the jade pendant for twenty Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai also bought a Rank-2 Thunderclap Stone.


    This stone has been struck by divine thunder, and it contains a trace of pure thunder elemental essence. Cultivators who want to practice thunder methods can draw it out and integrate it into their spiritual power to comprehend the mysteries of thunder.


    Of course, for Chen Mobai who had already achieved Perfection Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, this was useless.


    ¡°Take it. With this, you can finish practicing your ¡®Ren Water Thunder Method.''¡±


    Chen Mobai handed the Thunderclap Stone to his little disciple. Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s face lit up with a delightful surprise.


    She has already practiced her Blackwater Cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, but she has always struggled to fully grasp the Ren Water Thunder Method, which is recorded in this technique.


    This was a bit of a blow to Luo Yixuan, who has always considered herself the most talented among the second generation disciples in Xiao Nanshan.


    After all, besides being a sword cultivation genius, her master, Chen Mobai, is also a thunder method genius.


    She originally thought that if she could not inherit the Sword Dao, she must at least inherit the thunder method.


    But after practicing the thunder method, she realized how difficult it was.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even under the guidance of Chen Mobai, she barely managed to get started. But when it came to execution, she could never quite get it right.


    This made Luo Yixuan deeply aware of the large disparity in talent between her and her master.


    Compared to Chen Mobai, she¡¯s just an ordinary cultivator.


    ¡°Master, you are so good to me.¡±


    A delighted Luo Yixuan put the Thunderclap Stone in her storage bag.

 Chapter 785 - Chapter 785 Chapter 451 Opening the Storage Bag_2

    Chapter 785: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag_2 Chapter 785: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag_2 Over the years, the three disciples of the Xiao Nanshan School had grown accustomed to Chen Mobai¡¯s way of teaching which was different from the other masters in the Eastern Wilderness. They no longer felt embarrassed or dared not accept the things he gave them like before.


    ¡°Eh, Master, there is an Earth Master heritage here!¡±


    When the master and disciple stumbled across a stall selling Cultivation Techniques, Luo Yixuan noticed something she had previously received from Chen Mobai.


    She immediately squatted down, picked up the booklet and read through it, finding its content identical to the two other books she had.


    ¡°Miss, after Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s demise, these things have spread. Many disciples who escaped from the battlefield were caught by rogue cultivators, and after rummaging through their storage pouches, they used a Mind-Controlling Technique to make them write down the contents of the techniques, ensuring the techniques and heritage are intact,¡±


    The stall owner was a young man who, upon seeing the beautiful and noble Luo Yixuan, effusively explained many things in a slightly flattering manner.


    ¡°Oh, you seem very familiar with it. Are you, by any chance, a rogue cultivator?¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s bright eyes narrowed, asking a question that caused the young stall owner¡¯s face to turn pale.


    ¡°Not at all, I merely heard it from others in the Fang Market, it¡¯s not exactly¡­¡±


    Seeing how frightened he was, Chen Mobai simply nodded.


    When the Wuliu Mountain Fang Market was established, he had roughly set a few rules, one of which was to prohibit rogue cultivators from entering, besides the ban on Magic Duel.


    He knew that most of the Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness had been rogue cultivators in secret.


    But he still set that rule, aiming to form a common understanding within the Wuliu Mountain Fang Market that rogue cultivators could not show their faces here.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care about you being a rogue cultivator elsewhere, but if you act as such in his territory, the only outcome is death.


    The change in the attitude of the Eastern Wilderness begins here.


    The master and disciple continued browsing, and Chen Mobai, who had bought some rank-2 Spiritual Objects, was preparing to leave when he suddenly spotted something interesting at a stall.


    ¡°How much for these ores?¡±


    Because Rock Country has many minerals, apart from body cultivation, Mountain Shaker Peak was most famous for its Earth Master Heritage that led to a variety of strange and bizarre ores.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, these are all rank-2 ores, each kind costs fifty Spirit Stones. If you buy a lot, I can offer you a 10% discount.¡±


    The stall owner was an ordinary-looking old man, but his eyes were very sharp, making him seem young.


    Chen Mobai scanned over the dozen or so types of ores on the stall and picked out three.


    The stall owner¡¯s face Darkened at a glance. These minerals were intentionally placed there, but he didn¡¯t expect them to be spotted immediately.


    ¡°You¡¯re clearly an expert, fellow daoist. Just name a price for these three crystals.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised at the stall owner¡¯s words, but then he nodded. He felt that the old man posing as a stall owner knew him, so that¡¯s why he would say that.


    The stall owner posing as an old man put the five hundred Spirit Stones left by Chen Mobai into his storage bag. Seeing the greedy eyes of his fellow stall owners, he felt a little worried.


    But he immediately puffed up his chest and continued setting up his stall.


    When Wuliu Mountain Fang Market first opened, some daring rogue cultivators caused trouble, but they didn¡¯t get far before they were caught by some Base Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect. Their bodies were left hung on stakes at the foot of the mountain before they had even dried out in the wind.


    After killing twice, no rogue cultivators dared to act as such within the jurisdiction of Wuliu Mountain.


    ¡°Master, the rank-2 ores in the market are only around fifty Spirit Stones. Why did you pay so much?¡±


    Luo Yixuan looked confused on the way back up the mountain.


    ¡°These are not ores, but refined rank-2 Evil Qi Crystals.¡±


    Chen Mobai held two jade green crystals and casually explained.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    Luo Yixuan clearly hadn¡¯t noticed that. However, she remembered that the old man at the stall had mentioned the word ¡°crystals¡± in the end. It was obvious that he also knew and intentionally displayed them on the stall to attract people who wanted to pick up a bargain.


    But unexpectedly, the person they attracted was Chen Mobai.


    The man knew the identities of both master and disciple, so he didn¡¯t dare to play any tricks and could only conduct his business honestly.


    Chen Mobai was an honest person and he gave him five hundred Spirit Stones, which was the market price.


    ¡°These two are rank-2 Clear Wind Evil, which are useful for my ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯, and this is rank-2 Peach Blossom Evil. We can take this back and upgrade the Five Transformation Umbrella for Ming¡¯er.¡±


    In fact, there were other types of Evil Qi Crystals in the stall, but only these three were useful to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°My Sister Disciple will definitely be very happy when she knows.¡±


    Luo Yixuan looked happy at Chen Mobai¡¯s side. She knew Chen Mobai liked the disciples of the sect to love each other. Over the years, she gradually started to open her heart and felt like she was really becoming that kind of person.

    ¡°If this stall owner is an Earth Master, try to find out more about him. If he is interested, ask him whether he wants to join the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai always cherished talent. In the Eastern Wilderness, a rank-2 profession would allow one to serve as an elder for one of the Seven Great Sects in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After the obedient Luo Yixuan left, Chen Mobai went up to the peak of Wuliu Mountain. There were row upon row of wooden houses, with the highest one in the middle being his.


    The rest belonged to other Base Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 786 - Chapter 786 Chapter 451 Opening the Storage Bag_3

    Chapter 786: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag_3 Chapter 786: Chapter 451: Opening the Storage Bag_3 Originally, this Wuliu Mountain was a Rank-3 Spirit Vein, but in order to sustain the precious medicinal herbs that Yue Zutao painstakingly transplanted from Mountain Shaker Peak, he dispersed the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Vein to fertilize the Spirit Fields. As a result, the highest level of the Spirit Vein on the top of the mountain is now only Rank-2 high-grade.


    For Foundation Establishment cultivators, a Rank-2 Spirit Vein just about suffices to maintain their cultivation progress.


    Moreover, in this war, they had also captured quite a few magic bags from the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak and gained a lot of Spirit Stones. Even in situations where the Spiritual Energy was insufficient, using a few more Spirit Stones for their cultivation was not much different than a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    Chen Mobai, in his own room, carefully appraised these three Evil Qi Crystals. He had already used his Void Spirit Eye to inspect them at the Fang Market, but he wanted to have another look for reassurance.


    After confirming that there were no issues, he put them into his own magic bag and then brought out seven or eight other magic bags.


    These were his spoils from killing the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    However, since he had been fully focused on the war before, only after relaxing does he now have the time to open the bags.


    The powerful Divine Sense of the Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment flooded out, swiftly eradicating each and every Divine Consciousness Imprint in those magic bags.


    But when he got to the last two magic bags, Chen Mobai found that he could not penetrate them with his Divine Sense.


    This meant that the owners of these two magic bags possessed a stronger Divine Consciousness Realm than him.


    Chen Mobai remembered that he had collected these from Ai Tuo¡¯s body.


    That didn¡¯t seem right, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak who had died at his hands, there was only one, Ji Dingjin, who had a higher realm than him.


    Even if one of them belonged to Ji Dingjin, whose bag was the other one then?


    Or could it be that Ai Tuo, although his cultivation level was only at the later stages of Foundation Establishment, his actual Divine Wisdom Realm had already reached Perfection?


    While pondering this, Chen Mobai suddenly noticed that one of the magic bags, with a golden border and delicate appearance, looked rather familiar.


    It looked similar to the magic bag he had obtained from a female disciple of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Could it be Xuan Qiao¡¯s magic bag?


    Chen Mobai remembered that after he had used the Primordial Yang Sword Evil to strike Xuan Qiao down, the latter died in Ji Dingjin¡¯s arms. Thus, it would be quite normal for his magic bag to fall into Ji Dingjin¡¯s hands.


    Later, with Ji Dingjin¡¯s sole devotion to seeking death, he naturally wouldn¡¯t carry the bag with him to give to himself, so perhaps he gave it to Ai Tuo to take away.


    After a series of plausible deducing, Chen Mobai first picked up the magic bags that he had already cracked open with his Divine Sense and began to empty them one by one.


    In no time at all, there were piles of Spirit Stones, elixirs, ores, books, and so on, scattered over the floor of the pretty large wooden house.


    His Divine Sense swept out, and he had quickly finished tallying up.


    In total, it was worth about twenty-seven thousand Spirit Stones. Even the ores that lowest grade were Rank-2, and there were even two Rank-3 Life Stones.


    This kind of stone contained a gentle spirit vein energy. If placed in a Rank-2 Spirit Field and processed with special methods, one could obtain a mu of Rank-3 Spirit Field.


    These two Life Stones were obtained from Ai Tuo¡¯s magic bag.


    Chen Mobai cherished them, as he currently did not have any Rank-3 Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan.


    If he upgraded two mu, when the Green Jade Spirit Rice and Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice matured, he could start experimenting with hybrid experiments of Rank-3 Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming.


    Next, he sorted and placed the elixirs into a dedicated magic bag which also contained the elixirs he had initially obtained from Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s magic bag.


    Combined, they¡¯re valued at four to five thousand Spirit Stones.


    As for the leftover books, Chen Mobai just flipped through them lightly. They were all body forging techniques from Mountain Shaker Peak or Earth Master heritage, none of them were as surprising as the ¡®Precious Golden Light¡¯ spell.


    He selected the books about Earth Master heritage to give to Luo Yixuan tomorrow. Even though she hadn¡¯t started learning Earth Master techniques, as her master, he would support her interest.


    After sorting through everything, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the last two magic bags.


    He came before the wooden table in his room, took out his talisman-making tools, positioned a sheet of Rank-2 Jade Paper, gracefully brushed the paper, and easily finished drawing the Space Talisman.


    Immediately, the last two magic bags were also opened by him.


    Anticipating on the inside, Chen Mobai did not rush this time, but picked up the bag with gold tracery first.


    The first thing that fell out was ten clear and translucent high-grade Spirit Stones.


    Seeing this, a grin spread on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, and he couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    This guy was much richer than Xuan Jinzhi, his junior sister.


    Are the Foundation Establishment cultivators¡¯ magic bags from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace all this hefty? Every one of them contained high-grade Spirit Stones.


    Following that, two Golden Halberds, five Golden Crystals, and a heap of elixirs also fell out of the magic bag onto the floor.


    The Golden Crystals were similar to Xuan Jinzhi¡¯s, which could be used in cultivating the ¡®Precious Golden Light¡¯ spell.


    As for the Golden Halberds, Chen Mobai was familiar with them. When he had fought Xuan Qiao before, the latter had used the same type, the power it displayed was incredible, even almost comparable to his Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    It¡¯s just a pity, in the end, they were squeezed deformed by his Five Elements sword intent.


    Only after examining these two Golden Halberds, did Chen Mobai know, it was due to the low quality of the artifact.


    The Golden Halberds were merely Rank-2 lower-grade magic artifacts, but they were one-time use artifacts. When used with Xuan Qiao¡¯s practiced Secret Technique, they could explode, and at the cost of destroying the magic artifact, produce a power almost equivalent to Rank-3.


    Although Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t practiced the cultivation techniques of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, if he was willing to work on it, with his treasure appraisal knowledge, he could deduce the ritual way and incantations to use these Golden Halberds.


    For him, these magic artifacts were of no use, they weren¡¯t even as good as his casually executed Sword Sha.


    However, these could be given to his own disciples. Even though Qi Practitioners couldn¡¯t bring the full potential of the Golden Halberd, it could work wonders at critical times.


    After inventorying Xuan Qiao¡¯s magic bag, Chen Mobai then picked up Ji Dingjin¡¯s one, opened the opening, and lightly tipped it over the ground.


    Amid a series of thuds, pieces of silver-grey ore fell onto the wooden floor, making a dull sound.


    ¡°Eh, this is ¡­¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai was a little incredulous. It was only after picking up a piece for a detailed triple inspection that he confirmed that this was Void Stone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Inside Ji Dingjin¡¯s magic bag, there were actually only Void Stones.


    Upon checking, Chen Mobai found a total of thirty-eight of them.


    These seemed to have been mined directly, and have all not been cut and processed yet, their shapes were irregular, but their sizes were quite similar.


    The Void Stone in the Eastern Wilderness was considered Rank-3, and each piece was worth thousands of Spirit Stones.


    That is to say, this bag of Ji Dingjin¡¯s was nearly worth forty thousand Spirit Stones.

 Chapter 787 - Chapter 787 Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_1

    Chapter 787: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_1 Chapter 787: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_1 However, what does Ji Dingjin want all these Void Stones for?


    Chen Mobai, with a perplexed expression, gathered a pile of silver-gray stones from the floor. These could be used to make storage bags, but their main use was for arranging Teleportation Arrays.


    With a Teleportation Array, one could both attack or retreat, so all the major sects and cultivation clans would do everything possible to set one up if the conditions allowed.


    The catalyst for the first great war with Shake Mountain was Lei Nation¡¯s Gong family and Zheng family¡¯s plot to kill the town guard of Divine Wood Sect.


    The other cultivation clans in Lei Nation tried to dissociate themselves from the incident and slaughtered both families, but they managed to escape through a Teleportation Array.


    If Zhou Shengqing hadn¡¯t decisively used the Bead that Breaks Meridians which shook up the Earth Veins and caused the Teleportation Array to fail, Ji Zhenshi would have likely fled to the Eastern Wilderness with most of the elite and wealth.


    For this reason, the void stones held a high value within the Eastern Wilderness.


    Having finished counting everything in the storage bags, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but have a satisfied expression on his face.


    All of this added up to around two hundred thousand spirit stones.


    No wonder cultivation forces in the Eastern Wilderness love going to war so much, this was just his personal spoils from the battlefield.


    Regrettably, this sort of behaviour wasn¡¯t sustainable.


    The Eastern Wilderness was a large place with plentiful resources, but most cultivators only set their sights on the quickest method ¨C plundering.


    Because many cultivators who honestly created talismanic seals or mined for spirit stones had their hard-earned gains stolen by rogue cultivators. This caused fewer and fewer cultivators to want to work, leading to more and more cultivators becoming rogue, seeking to produce without contributing.


    Chen Mobai hoped to create a peaceful environment in Eastern Wilderness without rogue cultivators. Then every cultivator could gain cultivation resources through their efforts, and order could be maintained. Only with order comes stability and only with stability comes progress and prosperity.


    Compared to being a rogue cultivator, Chen Mobai believed that doing business to make money was the long-lasting way.


    After all, compared to the path of the immortals, the resources here were too abundant.


    The next day.


    Luo Yixuan brought a small old man who sold Evil Qi Crystals in the Fang Market named Lu Daoda. He had reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. He was indeed a Rank-2 Earth Master.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be Immortal Master Chen, I failed to recognize you, these five hundred spirit stones¡­¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, Lu Daoda offered a bag of spirit stones, intending to return the spirit stones Chen Mobai had used to buy the Evil Qi Crystals.


    ¡°We made a regular transaction, you shine keep it. I invited you here today to ask about Earth Master related matters.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that Lu Daoda should take back the spirit stones. The latter did so instantly upon hearing this.


    ¡°Immortal Master Chen, please ask.¡±


    ¡°You have cultivated an Earth Master to this realm, what are your thoughts on the Earth Veins and Spiritual Energy within Rock Country?¡±


    ¡°Well¡­ I wonder what Master Chen would like to know?¡±


    ¡°I want to find an appropriate spirit vein to serve as the land my sect guards in Rock Country in the future. Of course, I also have plans to turn it into the main cultivation market in Rock Country, or even a Dao city.¡±


    Since he was asking a professional for advice, Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts honestly.


    ¡°Within the boundaries of Rock Country, in addition to the Rank-4 Spirit Vein where Shake Mountain is located, there are seven Rank-3 Spirit Veins, all of which are occupied by the local cultivator families.¡±


    ¡°However, the largest Ji Family collapsed with Shake Mountain, and the Jiao, He, and Qu families all suffered heavy losses in this war. The core members of these families have already fled Rock country. Thus, there are four Rank-3 Spirit Veins to choose from.¡±


    ¡°Among them, the North Abyss Mountain Spirit Vein of the Ji Family is the most prosperous, a top-notch Rank-3. Moreover, after hundreds of years of development by the Ji Family, it has abundant spirit and medicine fields, and its geographical location is good. It¡¯s the most suitable.¡±


    After hearing Lu Daoda¡¯s words, Chen Mobai took out a map of Rock Country and, under the guidance of Lu Daoda, located this North Abyss Mountain.


    However, he found a problem after looking at it.


    This North Abyss Mountain was only a hundred miles away from Shake Mountain, and the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was located in a certain valley eighty miles away.


    If he occupied this North Abyss Mountain, it would likely be neighboring the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace which wanted to open a sub-sect within Rock Country in the future.


    But after careful thought, Chen Mobai believed the relationship with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might not improve. When Zhou Shengqing was forming his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, they might have to face them. Keeping the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s guard in North Abyss Mountain, would be like driving a strong nail at the heart of Rock Country.

    ¡°Here it is.¡±


    Chen Mobai stretched out his right hand and firmly pat the North Abyss Mountain on the map.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Lu, for your guidance.¡±


    ¡°Not at all. Being able to help Immortal Master Chen is my honor. The Rank-3 Spirit Veins left by Jiao and other Rock Country families also need to be planned for early. These families have left some old, weak, sick and disabled behind that many rogue cultivators are eying. If they aren¡¯t occupied soon, I¡¯m afraid they will be plundered by rogue cultivators one by one.¡±


    Lu Daoda had learned from Luo Yiyuan that Chen Mobai wanted to recruit him into Divine Wood Sect. For a loose cultivator like him, it was a great honor. He began to display his talents to the fullest.

 Chapter 788 - Chapter 788 Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_2

    Chapter 788: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_2 Chapter 788: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_2 ¡°Good point, Xuan, call over Brother Zhou, Brother Liang, and Junior Brother Yu.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, instructing Luo Yixuan to call Zhou Wangshen and the others over, assigning the three Foundation Establishment cultivators to handle this matter.


    In the end, he talked again with Lu Daoda about knowledge related to being an Earth Master, learned that the latter had once attempted Foundation Establishment, but unfortunately failed. Yet, he had immersed himself in the role of Earth Master for decades, travelled through several kingdoms on the north side of the Eastern Wilderness, and through practical application achieved a Rank-2 profession.


    After confirming that the latter indeed has genuine skills, he invited him to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Brother Lu, the official document for an external elder needs to be stamped by the Shenmu Hall. However, I can give you the related benefits first.¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s identity as the commander in chief at the battlefield, he has the authority to enlist a Rank-2 Loose Cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation as an external elder. However, if they want to be officially recognized by all the countries of the Divine Wood Sect, they still need the Sect Leader¡¯s stamp.


    ¡°Fortunate to have three lives!¡±


    After receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s approval, Lu Daoda¡¯s eyes reddened a bit.


    For a Loose Cultivator, having the chance to join the East Wilderness Major Sect requires a great amount of luck.


    Only the Divine Wood Sect, which branched out less than a hundred years ago and doesn¡¯t yet have strict rules and enough sect disciples, provides such an opportunity.


    Chen Mobai chose to join the Divine Wood Sect because he saw this point.


    ¡°I have a task for you here. I need you to lead some sect disciples to survey the topography of North Abyss Mountain.¡±


    Chen Mobai rolled up the map on the table and handed it to Lu Daoda. While the map is extremely rudimentary, it¡¯s the best he could find.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand the meaning of this topographic map?¡±


    Lu Daoda didn¡¯t understand the term Chen Mobai used. The latter immediately took out paper and pen, and with his excellent drawing skills, depicted a detailed map of Wuliushan.


    The perfect map, which seemed to miniaturize the entire mountain range and even the Fang Market street, left Lu Daoda mesmerized.


    As a Rank-2 Earth Master, he quickly understood the symbols of contour lines, spirit vein markings, spirit field sizes, etc.


    ¡°Draw according to these standards and bring it back to me when it¡¯s done.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai called Luo Yixuan, who had just returned, to choose a small team of disciples from her team to escort Lu Daoda to North Abyss Mountain to complete this task.


    ¡°Yes, sire!¡±


    After the two departed, Zhou Wangshen, Liang Lingzhen, and Yu Lian arrived. Chen Mobai explained his choice of North Abyss Mountain as the place to station troops, to which they all nodded, indicating no objections.


    ¡°The Jiao, He, and Qu families firmly sided with Mountain Shaker Peak during the war, but the patriarchs of all three families have already escaped from the Eastern Wilderness with their core disciples. I suspect the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might exploit them, so you all should go and check.¡±


    After the war ended, although Chen Mobai no longer had to duel with magic, there were still numerous tedious matters to attend to.


    The primary concern was the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, and then suppressing the rogue cultivators in the Rock Country and Sky Country who had become lawless due to the disappearance of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Zhou Wangshen and the other two were talented among the younger generation of the Divine Wood Sect, and Chen Mobai trusted their abilities.


    Among them, Liang Lingzhen was a true disciple from the same generation as Yue Zutao. Although he had to take two Foundation Building Pills for a successful Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai felt his approach was the most prudent among the three.


    The day after the three left, Chen Mobai received a message from Fu Zongjue.


    Nanxuan Jing brought three hundred disciples from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Among them, in addition to Golden Core Cultivator Nanxuan Jing, there were nine others who had reached Foundation Establishment.


    However, most of them were elderly cultivators; it seemed that being sent to the Eastern Wilderness by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was a form of exile, with no young cultivators willing to come.


    Because of this, the only two young cultivators of Foundation Establishment attracted Chen Mobai¡¯s curious gaze.


    Nanxuan Jing and Fu Zongjue flew ahead, heading towards the three mines they were to take over.


    Whereas Chen Mobai led Yue Zutao and nine other disciples of Foundation Establishment, trailing behind the two Golden Core Cultivators.


    Both sides were sizing each other up.


    The cultivators of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace naturally felt superior about their side in comparison to the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, when their gaze fell on Chen Mobai, they all showed a hint of fear.


    In their faction, the strongest were Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi, who also had the highest chances of reaching Core Formation. But these two powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators, who they respected, died at the hand of this handsome youth in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If they were to compare, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace found looking at Chen Mobai was like looking at a formidable demon king.


    However, the two young cultivators were not only respectful, but they also seemed eager to try.


    It looked as if they wanted to challenge Chen Mobai and become famous in one battle.


    ¡°We¡¯re here, this is it!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And at that moment, they had arrived at the location of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, Changxi Valley. Nanxuan Jing seemed to have inquired about the place beforehand and was the first to fly into the valley.


    Soon, spiritual lights began to flicker beneath them.


    Ma Gang, with disciples from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Department, came reluctantly from the mines. Each person had two storage bags tied around their waist. Although their faces were tired, their expressions were full of satisfaction.


    ¡°Leave everything here.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing was infuriated when he saw this, and he yelled at Ma Gang and the others.

 Chapter 789 - Chapter 789 Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_3

    Chapter 789: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_3 Chapter 789: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_3 ¡°Master Nan, why sweat over a few ores?¡±


    Fu Zongjue blocked Nanxuan Jing, a sneer playing on his lips.


    ¡°You are no match for me, don¡¯t shame yourself.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing¡¯s face was cold, but then he sensed something. He looked towards the east of Changxi Valley, where another ¡°Fu Zongjue¡± had appeared and was staring at him coldly.


    Two Puppet Bodies!?


    Seeing this, Nanxuan Jing showed a hint of hesitation. But he knew that if he backed down today, it would be difficult for him to establish a branch in the Eastern Wasteland in the future. He steeled himself, ready for a fight.


    ¡°I have always been curious about the powerful techniques of your sect. During the previous battles with your fellow Daoists, I killed too quickly and didn¡¯t get a chance to fully understand them. This time, I¡¯d like to request some guidance.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly stepped forward, issuing a challenge to the nine Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    He advanced a step, extending his right hand.


    But the nine members of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace collectively stepped back, their bodies instinctively retreating in fear, even the two younger Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Nanxuan Jing witnessed this and his expression grew even more sullen.


    But it reminded him,


    If he could not defeat Fu Zongjue¡¯s two Puppet Bodies in a short period of time, that handsome young man from Divine Wood Sect who had killed his two proud disciples could probably wipe out most of his Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°Hmph! This is so typical of you country bumpkins of the Eastern Wilderness, fussing over petty gains. Consider these ores as my gift to you,¡± Nanxuan Jing decided to let it go after a moment¡¯s thought.


    Still, Chen Mobai continued to challenge the nine Foundation Establishment cultivators from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, but no one dared to accept.


    ¡°There are still two Spirit Stone mines to be handed over. We will spar some other time.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing could not bear to watch any longer. After leaving two of his Foundation Establishment cultivators behind, he and Fu Zongjue flew off to the other two Spirit Stone mines.


    Chen Mobai could only watch, a look of regret on his face.


    At the other two Spirit Stone mines, disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were also racing against time to excavate the ores.


    However, after meeting Nanxuan Jing in person and due to the oath sworn by Zhou Shengqing, Fu Zongjue had no choice but to hand over the mines with regret.


    ¡°By the way, when we establish a branch of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace here, we will need a place with a Spirit Vein. I heard that North Abyss Mountain is very good.¡±


    ¡°Sadly, North Abyss Mountain is already occupied by us.¡±


    Fu Zongjue refused with a shake of his head. This time, Nanxuan Jing didn¡¯t persist and merely mentioned another Rank-3 Spirit Vein owned by the Jiao family.


    Chen Mobai inferred from this that the old ancestors of the Foundation Establishment families who had escaped from Rock Country had probably formed an alliance with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    After settling this matter, Rock Country surprisingly quieted down.


    The news of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace establishing a branch here quickly spread.


    However, compared to the calm of the Cultivation World in Rock Country, the entire Eastern Wasteland was stirred up by this news.


    Back to Sky Valley.


    It is located in Summer Country, one of the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wasteland, where volcanoes erupt year-round, offering the most abundant Fire Vein Spiritual Energy in the entire Eastern Wasteland.


    The neighboring Flower Country, also possessed by Back to Sky Valley, is a nation of plains and Spirit Fields, home to a variety of rare flowers and herbs, earning it the reputation as the Kingdom of Flowers and Herbs.


    A deep green streak of light flickered across the clear blue sky and soon landed on Lonely Mountain, the forbidden area of Back to Sky Valley.


    This is a tamed volcano and the second-best Rank-4 intermediate-grade Fire Vein in the Eastern Wilderness.


    An elderly man with grey-white hair, garbed in a black robe, and with a thin face stood in front of a giant pill furnace looking up suddenly.


    The deep green streak of light stopped above his head, transforming into the youthful Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°What a rare visitor.¡±


    The old man was Yan Shaoyin, the head of Back to Sky Valley. Upon seeing Zhou Shengqing, his forehead furrowed slightly, but he still waved his sleeve and turned off the Array Prohibition of Lonely Mountain.


    Seeing Zhou Shengqing not come down, Yan Shaoyin took a step out of the Array, reaching the sky.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, why have you visited today?¡±


    Yan Shaoyin¡¯s attitude was indifferent, clearly not very welcoming to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s visit.


    ¡°Have you heard about Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace entering our territory?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing first mentioned Nanxuan Jing¡¯s plan to create a branch in the Eastern Wasteland. Yan Shaoyin remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head.


    ¡°I was not aware beforehand, but even if I had known, I could not have stopped it. After all, it is the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    There were no Nascent Soul Cultivators in the entire Eastern Wasteland, making them inherently inferior when dealing with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°After all, the Eastern Wasteland is our territory. If possible, I still want to sever the hands reaching in from outside.¡±

    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were cold. Yan Shaoyin remained silent, waiting for him to continue.


    ¡°I am preparing for the Nascent Soul Formation. It is a matter of life and death. But before that, I hope that Divine Wood Sect can have a successor. Therefore, I want you to refine a batch of elixirs for me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyin immediately refused.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Fu Zongjue a good successor? Besides, I am currently busy refining the Hundred Flowers Elixir to enhance my Cultivation Level, so I really don¡¯t have time to refine any other pill.¡±


    A half-smile appeared on Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face after hearing this, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know what kind of elixir I want you to refine?¡±

 Chapter 790 - Chapter 790 Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_4

    Chapter 790: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_4 Chapter 790: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_4 ¡°Brother Zhou, I apologize, but my lifespan is not long. I wish to make another attempt at Nascent Soul Formation before I pass away. I have decided not to conduct alchemy for others anymore.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyin shook his head decisively, refusing Zhou Shengqing once again.


    He himself was a prodigy, becoming a Rank-4 Alchemist at an early age. If it weren¡¯t for being employed by Hun Yuan to produce various medicinal pills for the Five Elements Sect, he might have reached Perfect Core Formation even earlier than Zhou Shengqing.


    Now, finally, with the passing of Hun Yuan, Yan Shaoyin aimed to regain the hundreds of years he had lost to the Five Elements Sect.


    But as he turned to return to Lonely Mountain, the sound of paper tearing reached his ears.


    Looking up, Yan Shaoyin saw Zhou Shengqing tear a pill formula in half and then extend half of it towards him.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Rank-4 pill formula my master gave me before his death. You should change your mind after looking at it.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, and seeing his smile, Yan Shaoyin intuitively sensed that something was amiss.


    But the allure of a pill formula was too strong for an alchemist like him, let alone a Rank-4 formula left by Hun Yuan.


    After all, Back to Sky Valley only had two Rank-4 pill formulas, one of which was an old formula and was nearly impossible to successfully make the pill.


    [I¡¯ll just take a peek¡­]


    With this in mind, Yan Shaoyin accepted the half piece of the pill formula from Zhou Shengqing and squinted at the top.


    Upon reading, his eyes widened in surprise, and his body began to tremble.


    ¡°This¡­ this¡­¡±


    ¡°So, do you have time to concoct it?¡±


    Seeing Yan Shaoyin¡¯s reaction, Zhou Shengqing laughingly asked. Upon hearing his words, Yan Shaoyin immediately looked at the larger half of the pill formula in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s hand.


    With his proficiency in alchemy, he knew that the formula was probably genuine just from the beginning.


    A pill formula that could increase the success rate of Core Formation by 20%, even in the East Land, would cause a frantic scramble.


    If he didn¡¯t know that he was no match for Zhou Shengqing, Yan Shaoyin would have been tempted to snatch the formula away!


    ¡°Where did you get this formula? If the Five Elements Sect had had such a formula in the past, they would have surely collected the ingredients to concoct it. As the chief alchemist of the Five Elements Sect back then, I wouldn¡¯t have missed it.¡±


    After taking a deep breath, Yan Shaoyin calmed down and questioned Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. It is a heritage which my master has bestowed to me. I only have one question: do you have time to concoct it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡­¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to focus on cultivation, and had decided to not perform alchemy for others anymore?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s always room for reneging on something that hasn¡¯t been promised. Moreover, I haven¡¯t practiced alchemy for several years and want to exercise my skills¡­ahem, ahem, ahem¡­¡±


    Feeling awkward halfway through his sentence, Yan Shaoyin, who had been through the world, coughed and shifted his gaze to the larger half of the pill formula in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s hand, while facing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s smiling expression.


    ¡°But I need to take a complete look at this pill formula first to confirm whether I can make it. So, will you give the rest to me?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities between us.¡±


    After joking around, Zhou Shengqing held up the formula for the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, his face turned serious, and he began to state his conditions.


    ¡°I can give you this pill formula, but you must make a Dao Heart oath that only you will know of this formula, and you won¡¯t tell anyone else. Moreover, if you want to concoct the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, you would need the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s approval.¡±


    This was equivalent to looking for a tool person to undertake alchemy. Hearing this, Yan Shaoyin frowned, ¡°Zhou Shengqing, this condition is too harsh. And, in the whole Eastern Wilderness, only I can help you make the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.¡±


    ¡°While it¡¯s true that you are the only Rank-4 Alchemist in Eastern Wilderness, there are many outside of Eastern Wilderness. And you know that I have pretty good relations with people from the Sun Bathing Sea.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words left Yan Shaoyin silent.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After a long while, faced with the huge temptation of Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, Yan Shaoyin gritted his teeth and agreed to the incredibly stringent conditions.


    ¡°We each provide half of the alchemy materials. Upon successful concoction, we split the resulting pills equally.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing proposed another condition, which Yan Shaoyin, after a moment of hesitation, agreed to.


    Usually, when Back to Sky Valley performs alchemy, the client provides all the materials, and regardless of success or failure, they don¡¯t take responsibility. If successful, they take a cut.


    But, faced with the precious Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡¯s formula, Yan Shaoyin was willing to abandon his baseline principle that he had held onto since he started alchemy.


    The two discussed some minor details, made sure there were no issues, and made their Dao Heart oaths.


    Then, Yan Shaoyin, trembling, carefully received the larger portion of the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill formula from Zhou Shengqing, pieced it together with his half, and scrutinized it intently, in a state of fascination.


    ¡°The rest of the ingredients can be easily found, but the thousand-year-old Azure Blood Coral, Purple Pozhi Fruit, and Black Marrow do not exist in Eastern Wilderness. We would have to buy them from outside the wilderness.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin said, pointing at the formula¡¯s three main ingredients.


    ¡°You are a Guest Elder of Star Heaven Commerce, these three things shouldn¡¯t be an issue for you.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing knew what Yan Shaoyin was implying. He himself had understood this after reading the formula: with his ability, he could only gather two of the eight main ingredients; Yan Shaoyin could gather five, indicating that Back to Sky Valley excelled in herbal medicine cultivation compared to Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The Azure Blood Coral from Sun Bathing Sea will be easier for you to purchase.¡±

    Yan Shaoyin implied, but Zhou Shengqing shook his head.


    ¡°I have to seclude myself for cultivation to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation. It would be best if no one knew about our cooperation in concocting the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill. So, it¡¯s better for you to do the collection.¡±


    During the conversation, Zhou Shengqing gave Yan Shaoyin a bag of herbs that he had brought along. It contained hundreds of auxiliary herbs, the precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, and a Void Piercing Immortal Mushroom.


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu, you are lucky to have such a master.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin assumed that Zhou Shengqing was preparing the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill for Chu Zuoshu. He sighed, and Zhou Shengqing laughed without explaining. He turned around, transformed into a ray of light, and disappeared from where he stood.

 Chapter 791 - Chapter 791 Chapter 453 Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the

    Chapter 791: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_1 Chapter 791: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_1 Chen Mobai was unaware that Zhou Shengqing had already resolved the issue of the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill.


    He was now deeply immersed in the joy of city construction.


    Lu Daoda¡¯s abilities were exceptional. It took him only half a month to complete the exploration of the entire North Abyss Mountain, including its surroundings.


    However, his drawing skills were mediocre. From the perspective of the Eastern Wilderness, the map he produced was already very precise and standard. But to Chen Mobai, accustomed to printed details, it still seemed a little rough.


    But these were minor issues. After obtaining the terrain survey map of North Abyss Mountain, Chen Mobai began to come up with a comprehensive plan to build a city at its core ¨C a city that could irradiate the Rock and Sky Countries.


    For this, he again dispatched Lu Daoda on a long-term task to redraw the maps of the two countries by his standards.


    Although Chen Mobai had not studied planning and design before, his powerful Divine Sense as a Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator, combined with his consumption of Enlightenment Tea and Snow Needle Immortal Bud, greatly enhanced his learning ability.


    With the resources gathered from the Blue Emperor¡¯s account about the layouts of various heavenly cities, and after returning to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to consult with the teachers of relevant courses, Chen Mobai, after studying carefully for a month, had already become well-versed in this field.


    He personally drew a grand city plan map with an immensely Celestial aspect.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, are you planning to build a celestial city?¡±


    When Yue Zutao came to have tea with Chen Mobai, he saw the large blueprint spread out on the floor. The precise and fine lines and dimensions, from the plan to the elevation and then to the cross-section, as well as all sorts of intricate detail drawings at various nodes, caused a vast and grand, yet orderly and neat enormous city to instantly emerge in his mind. He couldn¡¯t help but show a shocked expression.


    ¡°It¡¯s not quite a celestial city, I just want to create a city that¡¯s orderly and suitable for cultivators to reside and exchange knowledge in.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew that in the Eastern Wilderness, only the headquarters of the Five Elements sect during the time of the old Hun Yuan ancestor dared to claim the title of ¡®Celestial City¡¯.


    Yue Zutao used to be a disciple of the Five Elements sect and grew up in the Hun Yuan Celestial City, so he had deep memories of it.


    But even that Hun Yuan Celestial City, when compared to the Northern Abyss City in Chen Mobai¡¯s blueprint, was like the difference between the heavens and the earth, akin to comparing a sophisticated courtyard with a grass hall.


    It was not an issue of the area size, but rather, there was a huge gap in the arrangement and order of the initial plans.


    In Yue Zutao¡¯s thoughts, one was like a skyward major road, and the other was like a small country lane.


    This was quite normal, since the overall plan for the Northern Abyss City had been done by Chen Mobai according to the standards of Wangwu Dongtian, the capital of the Celestial realm. As such, when expressed on the blueprint, it looked like a heavenly city in the eyes of Yue Zutao, a resident of Tianhe Realm.


    The reason why he could design such a city is because the Eastern Wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, making the hardest aspect of capturing land in the Celestial realm a non-issue here.


    Chen Mobai was only afraid that after the Northern Abyss City was built, it might become a ghost city due to a lack of population.


    ¡°First, make a comprehensive plan before starting. With the manpower we have here now, it is impossible to achieve what¡¯s drawn on the blueprint. I plan to first establish a trade market in the core area, and then gradually expand to the outskirts as the number of cultivators increases.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao were close friends who knew each other well, and the latter was also very creative. As soon as Chen Mobai started talking, Yue Zutao already had a rough understanding of his ideas.


    ¡°Making ample preparation before doing something, following the plan and advancing step by step, with Junior Brother Chen providing the overall insights, everyone else will find things much easier.¡±


    Yue Zutao expressed his understanding of planning amidst his admirations. He squatted down to scrutinize the blueprint of the Northern Abyss Celestial City drawn by Chen Mobai, constantly asking questions.


    Once the overall blueprint was ready, subsequent matters became much easier.


    All that was needed was to keep following this grand direction, stick to the main points, and continuously supplement the details.


    In a short while, Yuan Chiye and Zuo Hongqiu were also summoned by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, in order to establish the Northern Abyss City, some territories still need to be leveled and developed. I¡¯ll need you for this task.¡±


    Due to the great powers of cultivators, even moving mountains and filling rivers were possible tasks. When designing, Chen Mobai was bold enough to choose to level some small hills that could have interfered with the city¡¯s traffic routes.


    However, for the central North Abyss Mountain, he had adhered to the planning principles of harmony with nature and unity of heaven and man, and spread out to develop in all directions along this majestic Spirit Mountain.


    The market for the first phase of Northern Abyss City would be located at the foot of this Spirit Mountain.


    The thousands of acres of Spirit Fields and medicine fields that the Ji family had spent hundreds of years cultivating lay to the east and west. For now, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t touch these, waiting to include their development in the city¡¯s construction plan in the future if the market couldn¡¯t meet the demands.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Construction of the market was also crucial in Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts, this Northern Abyss City might serve as a major base camp to confront the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace in the future. If the defense is not strong enough, not only will the cultivators in the city be worried, but Chen Mobai himself will also not feel safe.


    ¡°Sister Zuo, what kind of formation do you think is most appropriate to set up?¡±


    For professional matters, he asks professional knowledge. Chen Mobai asked Zuo Hongqiu politely.


    ¡°The simplest is naturally our sect¡¯s ¡®Array of Ten Thousand Woods¡¯. As long as Qingyang Spirit Trees continue to be planted, the power will become greater and greater. Perhaps following Junior Brother Chen¡¯s plan, we could turn North Abyss Mountain into a second Giant Tree Ridge.¡±

 Chapter 792 - Chapter 792 Chapter 453 Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the

    Chapter 792: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_2 Chapter 792: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_2 After Zuo Hongqiu entered, he had been looking at the blueprints for Northern Abyss City. Only when he heard Chen Mobai¡¯s questioning did he react from his shock and offered a seasoned opinion.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t work. The formation of Northern Abyss City needs to be put into operation as soon as possible, because no one knows when the balance between our Sect and Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might rupture. We don¡¯t have time to let the formation mature.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head, countering the proposal.


    ¡°If we were to be more cautious, we could set up the ¡®Mysterious Five Elements Formation¡¯, a Rank-3 formation that could be raised to Rank-4 level if there were enough materials and supplemented by the Earth Vein spiritual energy.¡±


    Zuo Hongqiu nodded, and based on the geographical condition of North Abyss Mountain, he proposed another formation.


    If this Immortal City is fully constructed, it won¡¯t be worthy unless it¡¯s defended by a Rank-4 formation.


    This is also the town¡¯s Sect¡¯s large protection array, the Five Elements Formation, which constantly changes its formation portals according to the laws of Five Elements. During its peak period, the Hun Yuan ancestor sat in the center while Zhou Shengqing and four other Core Formation cultivators assisted, suppressing the myriad of demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze.


    ¡°This formation may not be a good choice. The Spirit Vein of North Abyss Mountain has an earth-gold characteristic; the ratio of Earth Vein spiritual energy exceeds seventy percent. If we want to arrange the Five Elements Formation, we not only need to suppress some Earth Veins but also bury a massive amount of Wood, Water, and Fire spiritual objects to maintain the balance of Five Elements, which could be more loss than gain.¡±


    Yue Zutao was also exceptional in the field of formations, and having seen the geographical survey map of North Abyss Mountain previously, he didn¡¯t think the Five Elements Formation was suitable for this place.


    ¡°The Earth Vein carries gold¡­ In our Sect, we have an Array Plate belonging to the ¡®Sumeru Nine Palace Formation¡¯. This was obtained after our two ancestors and Master Mo broke the war formation of a country during a fight with the Earth Vein Sect. It can serve as a mountain protection formation or a combat formation, but its arrangement is a bit complicated. To exert its power, in addition to the Array Flags, we also need many cultivators to cooperate.¡±


    Zuo Hongqiu thought and remembered an Array Plate that was stored away in the formation department.


    It was after a decisive battle with the Five Elements Sect following the division of the Divine Wood Sect, that the Sumeru Nine Palace Formation was broken, forcing the Five Elements Sect to reluctantly acknowledge the split.


    ¡°I remember that Array Plate already being damaged.¡±


    Apparently, Yue Zutao also knew this, and he asked in surprise upon hearing Zuo Hongqiu¡¯s suggestion.


    ¡°In the past few decades, the formation department had not much work to do, so we have been trying to repair this Array Plate all along. Although it can¡¯t be restored to its peak Rank-4 level, it¡¯s no problem to reach Rank-3 level if it¡¯s arranged and operated.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai started asking questions about the Sumeru Nine Palace Formation, Zuo Hongqiu answered them truthfully, and Yue Zutao supplemented the information continuously.


    ¡°We also need to see if there are any conflicts between the formation arrangements and the construction of Northern Abyss City.¡±


    During the discussion, Yuan Chiye also suggested something from the side.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, formations are usually set up first, due to frequent battles. If defenses aren¡¯t solid, no matter how good the construction is, it would be useless.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s blueprints for Northern Abyss Immortal City were truly so astounding that they all hoped not to disrupt the plan, hence the formation was set aside after the design of the Immortal City.


    ¡°That¡¯s simple. I will redraw the plan. If there are any conflicts, I will adjust the city plan.¡±


    Chen Mobai was the one who took the initiative to elevate the priority of the formation. This was, after all, the Eastern Wilderness, where the experience of hundreds of years proved valid.


    Chen Mobai took out a new sheet of paper, placed the overall blueprint on it, and also sketched in the Sumeru Nine Palace Formation. He indeed found quite a few conflict points after drawing. He consulted Zuo Hongqiu and Yue Zutao on their opinions and decided on the modification plan.


    ¡°It¡¯s settled then, we will arrange this formation.¡±


    As soon as the two main matters were settled, they could start taking action.


    Yuan Chiye took the lead, bringing a team of cultivators under his command to North Abyss Mountain as soon as he stepped outside.


    Zuo Hongqiu, however, needed to go back to the Sect to bring out the Array Plate.


    Chen Mobai packed up a set of blueprint papers for Northern Abyss City and asked Zuo Hongqiu to take it to the Sect. He planned to give a little shock to Chu Zuoshu and the higher-ups of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The construction of Northern Abyss City would take a lot of resources, and Chen Mobai knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to handle it alone.


    The two Core Formation ancestors should offer him their support, but the establishment of Northern Abyss City needed the wholehearted cooperation from the three main divisions and twelve departments of the Divine Wood Sect. Therefore, Chen Mobai thought it would be better to send the blueprint over and give Chu Zuoshu and others a more tangible impression.


    As it turned out, his decision was exactly right.


    When Zuo Hongqiu spread out the blueprint at the regular upper-level meeting at the Divine Wood Sect, everyone was astounded.


    After calculating the cost of constructing this immortal city, Luo Xue¡¯er found that the amount would greatly distress people like Chu Zuoshu. The cost would be equivalent to two decades of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s income from Spirit Stones.


    This brought about opposition from many mature and sensible members, considering the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recent continuous battles. A significant portion of the stored Spirit Stones had been exhausted. Although they had conquered two countries including the Mountain Shaker Peak, converting those resources into Spirit Stones would also take time.


    If the resources were poured into building the Northern Abyss City, the Divine Wood Sect would have to economize for a long time to recover.


    Moreover, if they indeed went to war with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace in the future, there was a high likelihood that the Northern Abyss City, centered in the Rock Country, would be reduced to ruins.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s extraordinarily advanced blueprint, and a dozen of stunning three-dimensional renderings painted with his exquisite skills that left everyone in awe, nobody would have agreed to this proposition.


    Chu Zuoshu naturally supported Chen Mobai, since they were spending the sect¡¯s Spirit Stones.


    However, given that those in favor and those against the idea were evenly split, he tactfully sought the opinions of the two elder masters.


    Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion and didn¡¯t come.


    Having personally come and glanced at the blueprint, Fu Zongjue was immediately engrossed. He thought that Chen Mobai had once again obtained ancient immortal city construction scriptures from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and marveled at them once he had finished reading.


    ¡°Let him build!¡±


    With these words from Fu Zongjue, those originally opposed essentially fell silent.


    However, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s current financial difficulties were apparent. Thus, Chu Zuoshu and Luo Xue¡¯er discussed and decided to first support the deployment of the Sumeru Nine Palace Array.


    And so, under the allure of the Northern Abyss City¡¯s blueprint, this resolution was passed within the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad the upfront costs are minimal. Hopefully, during our lifetime, we¡¯ll get to see the complete establishment of the Northern Abyss City.¡±


    When Zuo Hongqiu returned, she briefed them on the outcome of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s meeting, her voice filled with excitement.


    With the support of the Divine Wood Sect, the base of the Sumeru Nine Palace Array could begin to be tasked, also reserving future provisions for upgrading to a Rank-4 Formation.


    Because the Divine Wood Sect couldn¡¯t set up a Rank-4 Formation, they would still need to ask a Rank-4 Array Master in the future to reconcile the Earth Vein with nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, Sister Zuo.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude and then arranged for Zuo Hongqiu to lead a team, along with the Array Plate, to the North Abyss Mountain.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s mass mobilization was not kept a secret.


    So news quickly spread among the people at the Five Willow Fang Market that Chen Mobai was planning to build a new market.


    Those conscious of potential dangers had already started to inquire about how to secure a foothold in the new market.


    Especially many Loose Cultivators, who had been living in peace unprecedentedly here, felt as though they¡¯ve come to a heavenly place, without the fear of Rogue Cultivators or being oppressed by Cultivator clans and sect monks.


    They were all worried that once Chen Mobai led the Divine Wood Sect monks to the new market, the Five Willow Fang Market would lose its current order.


    Many Cultivator clans were not so worried about this, but they were also scared of damaging the relationship they have with the Divine Wood Sect and thereby sent people to inquire if there was any need for them to contribute to the construction of the new market.


    The Cultivator clans that did well in the Five Willow Fang Market were all local to the Rock Country that sided with the Divine Wood Sect during the war, making a great deal of money in the process. Over this period of peace, they had sold many of the spoils of war they had received, accumulating quite a lot of Spirit Stones.


    All they asked for was to be able to pre-reserve a few shops in the Northern Abyss Market.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai rejected the proposal without a second thought.


    He was well aware of how absurdly the cost of properties and shops could rise once a city began to develop.


    The initial construction was still the core of the Northern Abyss City, and Chen Mobai intended only to rent, not sell.


    When the market expanded, areas in the second and third ring could be pre-sold.


    Considering the sect¡¯s financial difficulties, Chen Mobai had already begun thinking about ways to gather some of the resources needed for the city¡¯s construction himself.

 Chapter 793 - Chapter 793 Chapter 454 Graduation_1

    Chapter 793: Chapter 454 Graduation_1 Chapter 793: Chapter 454 Graduation_1 The Beiyuan Immortal City was being built in full swing according to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan.


    On the other side, Nanxuan Jing led their disciples to start building a branch of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace here.


    Having previously consulted with the Grand Elder, he personally carved the words ¡°Nanxuan Sect¡± on the large stone at the entrance.


    As for coming to the Eastern Wasteland, Nanxuan Jing had his own plans.


    Among the nine Golden Core cultivators in the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he was in the middle stage of the Core Formation with an age of three hundred, ranking mediocre.


    If things continued this way, he had no hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation in this lifetime.


    The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, a major sect that has produced several generations of Nascent Soul cultivators, naturally has its own insights into Nascent Soul Formation. The most crucial of which is to achieve Perfect Core Formation before the age of three hundred in order to have the highest hope for Nascent Soul Formation.


    According to this rule, Nanxuan Jing no longer qualified to gain Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects within the Palace.


    But he was not willing to live out his days in obscurity, eventually dying a natural death.


    So, heeding Zhao Xuankang¡¯s persuasion, he volunteered to establish a branch in the Eastern Wasteland.


    If he could rely on the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to collect all the resources of the Eastern Wasteland, he felt that he would still have a chance to attempt Nascent Soul Formation in this life.


    Regrettably, things didn¡¯t go as planned for him and Zhao Xuankang.


    They originally planned to use the war between the Shake Mountain and the Divine Wood Sect to provoke the seven major factions of the Eastern Wasteland into the fray. Ideally, they wanted it to evolve into a standoff between two large camps, while they would support the weaker Shake Mountain from behind, maintaining balance between the two camps, to bleed the Eastern Wasteland dry.


    Once the seven major factions of the Eastern Wasteland had exhausted each other, they would then make their move, either seizing the entire Eastern Wasteland if they had the strength, or at least destroy the Divine Wood Sect first to prevent Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    Unfortunately, their bleed-dry policy was foiled by a blitzkrieg tactic from the Divine Wood Sect right from the start.


    Where did things go wrong?


    After Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing returned and analyzed the entire war, they finally found the key to the problem.


    It was Xuan Qiao and Xuan Jinzhi from the front-line battlefield of the Lei Nation and Rock Country border, who they thought could surely suppress the Divine Wood Sect, were decapitated by Chen Guixian from the Divine Wood Sect with two slashes of his sword.


    After that, the Divine Wood Sect took the initiative, they even had the resources to send extra troops into the territory of the Rock Country to stir up trouble.


    With a fire in their backyard and Ji Zhenshi blocked at the gate by Zhou Shengqing¡¯s trio, Ji Dingjin, the commander of the frontline battlefield, had no choice but to make a desperate attack, trying to take Chen Guixian down with his own life.


    But the result was a complete failure.


    Not only was Ji Dingjin beheaded, the army composed of cultivators from both the Rock Country and Sky Country was routed by the Divine Wood Sect and scattered in a rout.


    Afterwards, it was a relentless pursuit by the Divine Wood Sect. Although the Shake Mountain had its fair share of brave cultivators attempting to hold the Fang Market, protected by a large formation, to stall the enemy¡¯s advance.


    But they were as helpless as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, they eventually fell and the cities became ruins.


    Exhausted after three assaults, the situation crumbled completely. The cowardly cultivator families in the Rock Country territory began to turn against the Shake Mountain in the face of the enemy, surrendering their cities.


    With this, the Shake Mountain¡¯s three-hundred-year rule in the two countries disintegrated.


    When the Divine Wood Sect army besieged the Shake Mountain¡¯s headquarters, the outcome was already clear.


    If the rest of the major factions in the Eastern Wasteland did not attack the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s home base in a mission to rescue the besieged, relying solely on them, they were already unable to turn the tide.


    Clearly, the Golden Core cultivators from the other major factions of the Eastern Wasteland, who didn¡¯t understand the principle of ¡®when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold¡¯, simply watched as the Divine Wood Sect annexed the Shake Mountain.


    When Zhao Xuankang received the news, he could only sigh.


    However, the plan to annex the Eastern Wasteland and turn it into the backyard of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still needed to continue.


    So he and Nanxuan Jing quickly pressurized using the contract Ji Zhenshi signed previously, along with the name of the Grand Elder and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, forcefully snatching the Shake Mountain¡¯s three most precious mines, thereby planting the Nanxuan Sect in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Next, it would depend on their capabilities.


    They would see if they could form alliances and join forces with the enemies of the Divine Wood Sect, stirring up the water again. If so, they could seize the Eastern Wasteland without the aid of the main forces of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang were rather confident about this.


    Because Liu Jia Mountain was their natural ally, their relationship was even closer than that with the Shake Mountain.


    The Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s territorial location was between them and the Divine Wood Sect. With a little pressuring and the name of their Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace as leverage, they could probably win them over.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As for the Five Elements Sect, they harbored a deep hatred towards the Divine Wood Sect. Zhou Ye, presumably, would be more than willing to join them if their only goal was to destroy the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff.


    Zhao Xuankang has already started working on this.


    As for him, Nanxuan Jing, his task was to establish the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country and, with his great talents, gradually squeeze out the Divine Wood Sect from here until they¡¯re completely ousted.


    Nanxuan Jing was full of confidence about this.


    Because he didn¡¯t only bring his three hundred disciples, but also the Jiao family and other cultivator families who fled to the East Barbarians after the fall of Shake Mountain.

 Chapter 794 - Chapter 794 Chapter 454 Graduation_2

    Chapter 794: Chapter 454 Graduation_2 Chapter 794: Chapter 454 Graduation_2 Originally, these families were among the most prominent clans, only second to the Ji family, in the Rock Country. Together, they controlled nearly half of the Fang Market¡¯s trade in ores.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect had seized the Mountain Shaker Peak and caused a major shake-up in the Rock Country¡¯s Immortal Cultivation World, Nanxuan Jing knew all too well the nature of those Loose Cultivators.


    If they were provided with sufficient Spirit Stones and resources, they would crawl back like dogs, into the Fang Markets controlled by the Jiao family and other such families.


    Nanxuan Jing reevaluated his plan to drive out the Divine Wood Sect once more. Once he was sure there were no issues, he fervently summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three major families ¨C the Jiao, He, and Qu families ¨C ordering them to act according to opportunities and rebuild the marketplaces that had been turned into ruins.


    These Foundation Establishment cultivators of the three major families were also holding a grudge, eager to leverage the power of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to carry out their revenge against the Divine Wood Sect.


    They quickly obeyed the order, leading their families¡¯ elites back to their homelands.


    The homelands they originated from were all Rank-3 Spirit Vein territories.


    The Jiao family was in the most awkward position, as their Rank-3 Spirit Vein territory was right here at the Treasure Color Mountain, which was now occupied by the Nanxuan Sect.


    Nanxuan Jing did suggest that the Jiao family merge into the Nanxuan Sect, as he was worried about the insufficient numbers of disciples in his own Sect.


    The patriarch of the Jiao family considered it and selected twenty of the younger generation from his family to join the Nanxuan Sect. However, he took the rest of them to the spiritual mountain residence of another family.


    Although that place only had upper-ranking Rank-2 Spirit Veins, it was sufficient for Qi Practitioners.


    As for the patriarch of the Jiao family, Jiao Deyun, he was over two hundred years old and didn¡¯t have much life left. He also had no intention of improving his cultivation level.


    All he wanted was to quietly support his family in the remaining years of his life, making sure at least, the Jiao family would not perish under his watch.


    Of course, if he could take revenge on the Divine Wood Sect, the prime culprit for his family¡¯s downfall, he was willing to risk his old life for it.


    After saying farewell to Nanxuan Jing, Jiao Deyun led the hundred or so remaining members of his family to Red Shadow Mountain, where their retreat was located, amid this brutal war.


    When he flew over, he saw a group of about 10 rogue cultivators attacking the Large Formation of Red Shadow Mountain.


    The family cultivators left here were a few white-haired elderly Qi Practitioners from the Jiao family. They had little life left and chose to stay behind instead of being uprooted, after the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army invaded the Rock Country.


    Unfortunately, after the name of the Jiao¡¯s family was gone, this Rank-2 Spirit Mountain became a treasure in the eyes of Loose Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators.


    If Jiao Deyun had come a few days later, Red Shadow Mountain would probably have been breached and looted by these rogue cultivators.


    ¡°How dare you!¡±


    With that angry shout, Jiao Deyun produced a red spear, showcasing his formidable strength as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and killed the leading rogue cultivator instantly.


    Seeing this, the other rogue cultivators immediately scattered.


    However, the elite Jiao family cultivators, who had followed Jiao Deyun from the floating airship, surrounded these rogue cultivators using their numerical advantage. They had cruel expressions on their faces, intending to trap them and push them into a corner gradually.


    ¡°Old Ancestor, I didn¡¯t expect to see you again in this life.¡±


    At this time, the formation of Red Shadow Mountain opened, and an old man on the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation from the Jiao family, who had stayed behind, walked out. Seeing Jiao Deyun, he was overwhelmed with emotions and broke into tears.


    He had already accepted his fate, having no idea that there would be such a quick turn of events.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, things will get better. Since we¡¯re back, we¡¯ll certainly take back everything that once belonged to us from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Jiao Deyun comforted his weeping grandson while nurturing a growing hatred for the Divine Wood Sect in his heart.


    At this moment, with the last scream, all the rogue cultivators who had attacked Red Shadow Mountain were killed by the Jiao family cultivators.


    Not far away, on the top of a mountain sat three people in the shadows of a big tree. The leader of the group held a symbol for concealment in his hand, and they had watched the whole event unfold.


    ¡°There¡¯s no doubt about it; the Jiao family is in cahoots with Nanxuan Jing.¡±


    These three were Zhou Wangshen, Yu Lian, and Liang Lingzhen.


    ¡°Should we try to remove them?¡±


    Liang Lingzhen asked, as they regarded Zhou Wangshen as their leader.


    ¡°The Formation of the Red Shadow Mountain is powerful. If we three attack, it would give Jiao Deyun enough time for the reinforcements from the Nanxuan sect to come. Let¡¯s investigate the He family and the Qu family more.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen shook his head.


    ¡°He will leave the Red Shadow Mountain one day, and I think we can ambush him on his way.¡±


    At that moment, Yu Lian suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°That way, the timing is too uncertain. Right now, the top priority is the construction of Northern Abyss City. Besides, disciple Chen also said that we should try not to do anything that can trigger a conflict with the Nanxuan sect.¡±


    ¡°As for me, I¡¯ll stay. Jiao Deyun clearly has a strong hatred for our Divine Wood Sect. It would be better to eliminate him sooner rather than later.¡±


    Hearing what Yu Lian said, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen shared a surprising look.


    They thought that this junior brother had a strong killing intent.


    ¡°Although Jiao Deyun is old, he is a cultivator at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It is safer for the three of us to take action. So, junior brother, you should stay and monitor him. Notify us as soon as you find a perfect opportunity.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, recalling the situation with Yu Lian obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, roughly understood his state of mind, gently nodded, and finally added one more sentence to prevent him from taking unnecessary risks.


    ¡°Do not force it. You and I still have ample time for cultivation. It¡¯s not worth taking risks for this old fellow.¡±


    After saying this, Zhou Wangshen and Liang Lingzhen left.


    Yu Lian, his face stern, watched Jiao Deyun, who had already entered the Red Shadow Mountain, then silently sat down.


    Seven days later, Chen Mobai, who was presiding over the relocation of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army to Northern Abyss City, received a call from Zhou Wangshen.


    The ancestor of the Jiao family, Jiao Deyun, died in their joint attack.


    Now, they are keeping an eye on the ancestors of the He family and the Qu family. Once an opportunity presents, they will attack. But after Jiao Deyun died, the two ancestors have never left the Formation of their own clans.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I say we should avoid things that might cause conflict?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned.


    ¡°This¡­ Jiao Deyun was full of resentment towards our Divine Wood Sect. If we didn¡¯t kill him and let him help the Nanxuan sect rebuild the Treasure Color Market, it will pose a threat to our soon-to-be-established Northern Abyss City.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen explained. Killing Jiao Deyun seemed quite common in the Eastern Wilderness, considering it was a matter of extermination, so he did not report it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Even if Northern Abyss City is built according to my plans and system, it wouldn¡¯t be able to compete with my city, even if the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to relocate their city here¡­Anyway, since he has already been killed, let it be. All three of you should return now. If you act any further, I fear you might fall into the trap of the Nanxuan sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not entirely accustomed to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, but since Jiao Deyun was dead, he would not blame Zhou Wangshen and the others.


    After all, from the perspective of the Sect, they had performed merit.


    I just hope it will not provoke a reaction from the Nanxuan Sect.


    However, Nanxuan Jing¡¯s reaction was more tranquil than Chen Mobai had anticipated. It was as if he considered that Jiao Deyun had died of old age, and right after he died, he directly drafted the elite cultivators of the Jiao family into the the Nanxuan Sect.


    Then, he began to concentrate on reopening Treasure Color Market.


    To make a name for himself, Nanxuan Jing even spread rumors that a year later, an auction would be held at Treasure Color Market, with a Foundation Building Pill as the grand finale.


    But to get auction qualifications, one must have a year¡¯s experience of residing in the Treasure Color Market.


    After hearing this news, the Loose Cultivators in the Five Willows Market were understandably restless, and those at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation basically chose to race to the Treasure Color Market.

    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only sigh, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, having the opportunity to auction Foundation Building Pills, naturally has advantages.


    However, he did not lose his measure, still commanding the Sect Disciples to establish Northern Abyss City.


    Time flew by, and the end of the year arrived.


    Chen Mobai, engrossed in the city¡¯s construction, reluctantly set aside his work and returned to the sect.


    Because he was going to graduate!

 Chapter 795 - Chapter 795 Chapter 455 Meet Meng Huang again_1

    Chapter 795: Chapter 455: Meet Meng Huang again_1 Chapter 795: Chapter 455: Meet Meng Huang again_1 In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed since Chen Mobai enrolled in Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    For him who was still relatively young, the events and experiences of these ten years were full of highs and lows.


    They were the most brilliant ten years since he became conscious.


    However, he also believed that this was just the beginning, and the following ten years, hundred years, even a thousand years, would be just as brilliant.


    When Chen Mobai came back, it happened to be the time when the results of the Grading Project of the class of 5012 were released.


    Without a doubt,


    The Formless Puppet he directed had won first place.


    The second place was Zhongli Tianyu, who forged a talisman.


    The material used for this talisman was a nearly scrapped Rank-2 top-grade magic artifact from the Treasure Trove. Zhongli Tianyu used his thunder method to not only forge it into a talisman but also increased its power to Rank-3 after usage.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet being too powerful, Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s innovative achievement basically secured him the first place.


    The third place was for a Rank-3 magic artifact refined by Ming Yuhua.


    The fourth place went to a type of Rank-3 Spiritual Water refined by both Wang Xingyu and his wife Gong Ranran. This Spiritual Water has a gentle medicinal property and could assist many cultivators in increasing their physical strength, and it also had a minor enhancing effect on the Divine Sense.


    The fifth place went to Yunyang Bing¡¯s Rank-3 Formation.


    In this class, only these graduation projects reached the Rank-3 level.


    However, compared to previous years, this group could already be considered quite exceptional.


    Especially the graduation project of Zhongli Tianyu, even considering the entire history of thousands of years of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it could be ranked in the top ten.


    Unfortunately, he encountered Chen Mobai.


    The Formless Puppet was a peak Rank-3 puppet and could be in the top three.


    After returning to Xianmen, Chen Mobai was naturally pulled over by Ming Yuhua and others to drink.


    On graduation day, everyone who was outside came back. For this rare gathering of the Metaphysical Class in the academy, they naturally had to drink heartily.


    After three consecutive days, Chen Mobai finally had time to go to the Treasure Trove.


    He came to the Student Union here to say goodbye.


    Apart from the younger generations who joined the Student Union during his tenure, many of the top-tier people in the Student Union now were familiar to him.


    For example, Zhongli Tianyu, Zhuang Jialan, Zha Jianbai, and others in the Metaphysical Class, etc.


    And there was another person, Bian Jingchun, who had settled in the Treasure Trove for two years. Her progress in refining the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique with the help of the True Dragon Ding was very rapid.


    After Chen Mobai knew this, he also called her over, and she readily agreed.


    Around the farewell dinner of the Student Union, everyone had another bout of hearty drinking.


    ¡°What are your plans after graduation?¡±


    While drinking, Chen Mobai asked Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Continue to refine myself and find the remaining shards of the Bagua Mirror.¡±


    Although Zhongli Tianyu was extremely talented, he was actually a very simple person. He took out the Bagua Mirror which still had many shards missing and said with a calm tone.


    ¡°I will continue to go to the Mountain and Sea Academy for exchange learning for a while. If I can wait for a suitable department in Xianmen, then I would also consider obtaining the Jade Return Pill.¡±


    Zha Jianbai was a person extremely passionate about the sword, but for core formation, he still needed to take the public examination.


    The same goes for Zhuang Jialan. After graduation, she plans to become a teaching assistant in the talisman series in the academy. If the public examination could offer her a position to get the Jade Return Pill, then she would leave the academy.


    This is the thought of most of the Daoist Academy graduates. After all, in the academy, one can get the Gold Core by accumulating credits and working years.


    If they didn¡¯t see the hope of getting the Jade Return Pill, they would be willing to stay in this familiar environment.


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu asked. Everyone else¡¯s attention was focused on Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I will go to the Repairing Heaven Institute for postgraduate studies, and then return to build my hometown.¡±


    Chen Mobai put down the wine glass in his hand and said a sentence that surprised everyone.


    ¡°I can understand postgraduate studies, but returning to that rural place, is it because you know the civil service examination will arrange you there?¡±


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t plan to take the civil service examination. I just want to do business and revitalize my hometown.¡±


    Business?


    Many people could not understand Chen Mobai¡¯s idea. Bian Jingchun, who considered herself to have a good relationship with him, even started to persuade him.


    Although Chen Mobai was known as possessing the Qualification of Deification, if he wanted to form a core, it would still be best to go to Xianmen and serve humanity for sixty years.


    With his reputation and the operation of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as long as he had enough work years, he could definitely get the Jade Return Pill.


    Even the highest talents are merely empty talks without being put into practice.


    ¡°I want to try to form a core on my own. If I really can¡¯t do it by then, it¡¯s not too late to go to Xianmen.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only reuse the rhetoric that he had used to sway Wen Ren Xuewei and others. As soon as he said this, all his persuading friends shut up.

    Although it was a bit pretentious, if there was one person in the whole Xianmen who could form a core without the help of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, it would probably be him.


    Everyone saw him as having grand ideals and being ambitious.


    Zhuang Jialan and others, looking at Chen Mobai, had their eyes full of admiration and aspiration, feeling that what he had just said was incredibly manly.


    ¡°After graduation, let¡¯s see who forms a core first between us.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu picked up the yogurt in his hand and said to Chen Mobai. He didn¡¯t like to drink alcohol but only drank yogurt. However, his words aroused great excitement among all present.

 Chapter 796 - Chapter 796 Chapter 455 Seeing Meng Huang Again_2

    Chapter 796: Chapter 455: Seeing Meng Huang Again_2 Chapter 796: Chapter 455: Seeing Meng Huang Again_2 ¡°Well, that works for me, it¡¯s a good way to keep the pressure up. Want to make a wager?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought to himself. With the vast resources of the Eastern Wilderness under him and the two major factions, the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley, working exclusively for him to refine the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, and his Dual Function, there was no way he could lose to Zhongli Tianyu. Confidently agreeing, he even proposed adding something extra to the bet.


    ¡°And what are you wagering? You don¡¯t expect me to bet my entire ¡®One Man¡¯s World¡¯ signed edition comic collection, do you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu slightly furrowed his brow. Always the best since childhood, he experienced for the first time an emotion named insecurity.


    Only with this guy in front of him, he wasn¡¯t sure.


    Bearing the brunt of too many losses, his confidence had taken a hit when facing him.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your comics.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll accept everything else.¡±


    Upon hearing that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want his comics, Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s furrowed brows quickly relaxed. With an air of nonchalance, he accepted the wager.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll bet your Bagua Mirror?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it strange, he thought he understood Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s thinking, but it seemed he didn¡¯t completely understand him.


    ¡°If I gave it to you, would you dare to accept it?¡±


    This response from Zhongli Tianyu left Chen Mobai speechless.


    Indeed.


    The Bagua Mirror is the patriarch Zhongli¡¯s most powerful Magic Artifact, and its full potential can only be unlocked by the bloodline of the Zhongli family. He can¡¯t even use it even if he got it.


    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s make the wager that the loser has to do something that doesn¡¯t violate their own principles for the winner.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt guaranteed to win, so he didn¡¯t plan on taking advantage of Zhongli Tianyu any further. After all, he had been able to relax during the last two years at the Daoist Academy, largely thanks to Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s leadership in the student union.


    So he proposed a very simple wager.


    When Zhongli Tianyu heard this, he also felt that his chances of winning were not high, so he immediately agreed to the wager.


    ¡°By the way, I¡¯ve heard that senior sister Meng will come to sing a song during the graduation ceremony.¡±


    After three rounds of drinks, Chen Mobai was chatting with his friends when he suddenly heard this statement from a junior at the next table.


    ¡°Senior sister Meng, you mean Meng Huang?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan, who was sitting next to him, and received a nod in affirmation.


    ¡°Right, aren¡¯t you good friends with senior sister Meng? Didn¡¯t she tell you about this?¡±


    With a surprised look on her face, Zhuang Jialan asked back, but Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Speaking of which, he hadn¡¯t seen Meng Huang for a year.


    After Meng Huang graduated, she joined the Art and Literature Department and toured all the immortal gates with the cultural troupe while still improving her cultivation level.


    The two kept in touch on occasion, maintaining their reserved yet passionate relationship.


    During their last phone call, Chen Mobai heard Meng Huang say she was heading to the sea territory with the cultural troupe. After performing for the naval forces, they even visited the territory of a Spirit Emperor at the bottom of the sea, which she described as quite an eye-opener.


    [I should call her up when I get home. I haven¡¯t seen her in a year, and I kind of miss her.]


    As Chen Mobai reminisced about some fond memories, this thought flashed through his mind.


    By the time the moon reached its zenith, the group from the student union finally dispersed.


    With this meal over, Chen Mobai¡¯s farewell dinners at the Daoist Academy finally came to an end.


    He bid farewell to Zhongli Tianyu and the others on the way back to the academy, and headed for the small mountain cabin where he had lived for ten years.


    On the way, he pulled out his phone and dialed Meng Huang¡¯s number.


    The call was quickly answered.


    [Hello]


    [I heard you¡¯re coming back to the academy to sing?]


    [Yes, after all, it¡¯s your graduation ceremony. I wanted to give you a gift, but I couldn¡¯t decide what to give. So, I decided to come back and sing a song for you.]


    After hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a bit moved and thanked her.


    [When will you be back, I¡¯ll come to pick you up.]


    [No need.]


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was puzzled, Meng Huang¡¯s next enticing words rang in his ears, ¡°I¡¯m already here, waiting for you at the old place.¡±


    With that, the call ended.


    Chen Mobai felt as if he had drunk too much. Suddenly, his body began to heat up, as if his blood was beginning to boil.


    He hurried back as fast as he could. Upon arrival, he looked up to see the mountaintop villa, uninhabited for a year, once again lit up.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t return to his cabin; he flew up instead.


    On the balcony, the beauty he hadn¡¯t seen for a year was leaning on the railing with one hand while the other was nestled under her snow-white chin. She squinted her eyes and smiled as she watched him come over.


    The warm yellow interior light fell on Meng Huang through the glass, accentuating her glowing white skin, and hinting at the perfect curves of her body beneath the beige evening gown.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, Sister Meng,¡± Chen Mobai said as he landed beside the star he hadn¡¯t seen in a year. Looking into her eyes that were as clear as water, he couldn¡¯t help but recall the wonderful times they had spent here.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been a while.¡±


    Both of them were a bit nervous at first upon their long-awaited reunion, but as they met, they shared a glance and a mutual smile; reaching out and taking each other¡¯s hands in a display of silent understanding.


    As the lights in the villa dimmed, Meng Huang lay down on the sofa; her pale skin seemed to glow in the weak light, guiding Chen Mobai through the darkness.


    ¡­


    The beginning of a long-awaited reunion is always beautiful.


    Meng Huang shared her experiences from the past year with Chen Mobai. Unfortunately, she was unable to reveal detailed insights about her time in the Sea Territory due to confidentiality norms upheld by the celestial sects.


    While talking, Meng Huang shared some good news: she had completed the first foundation establishment level. With the Barrier Breaking Pill Chen Mobai had once gifted her, she had a high chance of leveling up.


    Huang explained that her breakthrough would also enhance her divine sense, her graduation gift to Chen Mobai. Touched by her gestures, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but guide Huang through a session of cultivation.


    After practicing in the mountaintop villa for three days, they decided to end the session as their graduation ceremony¡¯s rehearsal was about to start.


    Both of them had significant roles. Chen Mobai as the commencement speaker representing the graduating batch, and Meng Huang as the finale performer. They both had to attend.


    Bian Yiqing personally notified them via phone.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that when he called Chen Mobai, his disciple, Meng Huang, was lying on Chen¡¯s chest. And when he called Meng Huang, Chen Mobai was behind her.


    ¡°Those were the days¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai and Meng Huang left the mountaintop villa. Walking down the mountain path towards Crimson Mountain, they reminisced about their old routine when they used to go to school together just like this.


    That feeling gave Chen Mobai a satisfaction that he had never experienced before. Now, that feeling of satisfaction was still filling his entire body and was even more intense.


    ¡°By the way, it seems like your guidance has caused some changes in my mindset¡­¡±


    Halfway through their journey, Meng Huang suddenly uttered a sentence that left Chen Mobai puzzled.


    What guidance?


    What changes?


    ¡°Here, shall we give it a try?¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s face suddenly flushed. She led Chen Mobai away from the main path to the front of a large tree, suggesting something that left him shocked.

    ¡°The practice of the Mystic Sound Method for Foundation Establishment involves intense emotional fluctuations. Ordinary scenarios no longer have much stimulating effect on me. I thought about it, and it seems like the most emotional upheaval I¡¯ve had in my life was when we were on the train together¡­¡±


    Listening to Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai stood there, stunned. He looked at the superstar student beside him with her reddened cherry lips, charming gaze, and flushed pale skin, feeling as if she was a succubus ready to devour him.


    How did it come to this?


    Chen Mobai felt a twinge of regret. Had he known this would happen, he wouldn¡¯t have practiced with Meng Huang in such a way. It seemed as though he had led her down a detour.


    Believing he held a significant responsibility for this, he decided he would find a way to guide her back onto the right path.

 Chapter 797 - Chapter 797 456

    Chapter 797: 456 Chapter 797: 456 In the end, Chen Mobai and Meng Huang arrived at the Daoist Academy¡¯s rehearsal a bit late.


    However, the two were in excellent condition. As the beginning and the end of the graduation ceremony, both performed flawlessly.


    After the rehearsal, they invited Bian Yiqing for a meal together.


    For Meng Huang, Bian Yiqing was her mentor.


    For Chen Mobai, Bian Yiqing was the one who ushered him into the Dao.


    It was his play that made Chen Mobai grasp the key to Divine Sense.


    Moreover, during the entrance examination of Red Sandstone City, it was Bian Yiqing who reported to the higher-ups, giving him the final opportunity to be admitted.


    Bian Yiqing did not refuse and agreed happily.


    ¡°The Daoist path belongs to both of you in the future. I hope to hear either of you playing the Shocking God Sonata in my lifetime.¡±


    The spiritual wine brought by Chen Mobai was somewhat strong. After three rounds of drink, Bian Yiqing became a little tipsy and spoke his true feelings.


    ¡°Teacher, rest assured, I will work towards this goal.¡±


    Regardless, everyone in the Daoist Academy has great ambitions from a young age. Even Meng Huang harbors the ambition to play the Shocking God Sonata.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll try my best to be the one listening to your performance of the Shocking God Sonata.¡±


    Chen Mobai said a sentence that left Bian Yiqing unsure of how to respond.


    The ones waiting for the Shocking God Sonata on the Daoist side are those Nascent Souls.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words expressed his hopes to reach Nascent Soul Formation, and subtly revealed his ambition to Ascend to become Immortals.


    ¡°Then you will have to work hard.¡±


    Although Bian Yiqing was confident in Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, after all, reaching the Nascent Soul Formation was the pinnacle of the Daoist Academy, and not something that could be achieved by talent alone.


    The resources for Nascent Soul Formation were even pursued by Gongye Zhixu, the vice hall master of Daoist Academy.


    Even if Chen Mobai could reach Core Formation, his seniority in Daoist academy still requires him to wait for another one or two hundred years.


    Among the Daoists, some Nascent Souls could not wait for such a long time.


    According to Bian Yiqing¡¯s guess, within the next hundred years, the upper-level Nascent Souls would have collectively played the Shocking God Sonata with the Mysterious Sound Dao Seeds accumulated over a hundred years.


    In particular, one of the three Hall Masters of Xianwu Hall had heard long ago that his lifespan was nearing its end and was waiting for someone to reach the Nascent Soul Formation to retire.


    Of course, Bian Yiqing did not tell Chen Mobai and Meng Huang about these things.


    During the meal, as an old hand, he subtly sensed that the atmosphere between the man and the woman was a bit off.


    However, at his age, he has learned to be content with not knowing certain things.


    Since neither of them confessed voluntarily, he acted as if he knew nothing.


    After they had their fill of food and drink, the three parted ways.


    However, to avoid suspicion, Meng Huang offered to take Bian Yiqing back to the Daoist Academy, she was about to break through and needed to rent the cultivation room in building nine for a while.


    But on the way home alone, Chen Mobai received a text message from Meng Huang.


    She would be back that night.


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai had a plan to go back to Xiao Nanshan and hide for a few days.


    But that seemed a bit too much.


    After all, Meng Huang came back to the Daoist Academy specially to celebrate his graduation.


    Chen Mobai could only sigh and think about how to steer Meng Huang, who was slightly off the right path, back to the straight and narrow.


    The good news was, the graduation ceremony was only a few days away.


    No matter how hard or tiring, it was only a matter of days.


    That day, Chen Mobai stood on the balcony of the villa on the hilltop, taking a deep breath. In front of him, Meng Huang rested her hands on the railing, her face flushed and breathing softly, calming the slightly weary and trembling body after a round of cultivation.


    ¡°I¡¯ve sensed the opportunity to break through ¡­¡±


    Meng Huang gently raised her hands to tuck the sweaty strands of hair clinging to her flushed cheeks behind her ear, her eyes filled with joy.


    The records on breakthroughs in the Daoist Academy are abundant. Once you have this feeling, you basically have a hundred percent chance of success.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, when you¡¯re ready for your breakthrough, I¡¯ll come over to the building nine and get a room.¡±


    The two had plenty of experience in veiling their breakthroughs from others.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s comments, Meng Huang thought back to her two attempts at Foundation Establishment in building nine.


    The first time she failed using the Equaling Heaven Art, she felt like she was thrown into despair.


    She never thought that she would have second chance.


    And she was able to smoothly cross this hurdle by practicing the border practices, a great relief for herself who had been terrified of Foundation Establishment due to her shattered Dao heart.

    All of this, she owed it to the young man standing in front of her, shining in the early morning sunlight.


    Meng Huang looked at the boy who seemed to glow under the early morning sunlight, feeling dazed and determined. She resolved to grab onto this chance tightly.


    In the clear morning of the mountains, beautiful birds were chirping and singing cheerfully. The fresh air with a slight scent of earth flooded their nostrils. Accompanied by the sunlight from above, droplets of dew fell from the leaves of the vibrant trees in the distance, sprinkling onto the meadows.


    A day¡¯s work started in the morning. Seeing such a scene full of vitality, Chen Mobai standing on the balcony felt free and easy.


    He seemed to be immersed in this wonderful moment of bursting life, relishing in the satisfaction of the moment.

 Chapter 798 - Chapter 798 Chapter 456 Streamer Sword_2

    Chapter 798: Chapter 456 Streamer Sword_2 Chapter 798: Chapter 456 Streamer Sword_2 At some point, the two shadows that had fallen from the balcony into the living room overlapped again.


    ¡­


    Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    As one of the top ten Cave Heavens in the Immortal Sect, in addition to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, there are other universities of various sizes.


    Among them, there is an inconspicuous institute known as the ¡°Starlight¡±.


    Without realizing it, Wanyu had already been studying at this institute for ten years.


    For this ordinary girl, these ten years could be considered the most brilliant and happiest time in her life.


    This was the first time she had left her parents and felt unrestrained freedom on her own.


    In this University, she had met many kinds of people.


    She and the other three people in her dormitory had become intimate friends, sharing everything without reservation.


    If there were any regrets about the ten years in University, it would probably be that she had never experienced a heartrending romance.


    On the eve of graduation, Wanyu stood alone on a chair, staring at her phone in a daze.


    In her phone, there was a photo she had taken at the Mountain Sea School.


    Given her appearance, she had a string of suitors in college, even including outsiders like Gu Mingxuan and Wen Xiong.


    But after intersecting with that person, Wanyu found that all other boys seemed so mediocre.


    If only she could be with him¡­


    Just as she thought this, she opened the drawer and took out the lipstick that was placed at the very back.


    But soon her face fell.


    He was the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, recognized as the foremost among this generation in the Immortal Sect. He was an unrivaled genius in the Foundation Establishment, hailed as the qualification of Divinity Transformation, an unprecedented Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Even if she is attractive, in the Four Daoist Academies, there are countless goddesses who are more attractive than her, have a higher cultivation level, and come from a better background. Unless heaven is blind, he certainly wouldn¡¯t choose her as his lifelong companion.


    As she thought this, Wanyu sighed, pouting her lips, and put the lipstick back in the drawer. Just as she was about to close the drawer, she noticed it was stuck by something.


    She pulled it out again, squinted down to look at it, and finally found the culprit.


    It was a card!


    Wanyu remembered where this card came from the moment she saw it.


    Because it was also a treasured experience with him.


    In the lanes of Crimson City Cave Heaven, their reunion after a long separation, the surprise of him calling out her name, even thinking about it now was still full of sweetness.


    It¡¯s just that that annoying fortune teller was in the way.


    If it weren¡¯t for her, it would have been a world for just the two of them.


    Thinking this, Wanyu took out the card that was jamming the drawer. After casually flipping it over and about to put it back, she noticed something different.


    ¡°Strange, I¡¯m sure there was no arrow on it before.¡±


    Wanyu looked at the front of the card, the same verse was still there: [Burst stars beyond the Brushing Dawn, flying ashes fall in front of the steps.]


    But an additional light black arrow appeared on the back, not particularly noticeable against the dark red background.


    Since it was something related to Chen Mobai, Wanyu had looked at it countless times, and she was sure there was no arrow on it.


    After taking the card and observing it again, the girl with no knack for deduction shook her head, laid the card flat at the bottom of the drawer to prevent it from jamming again.


    But once the card was turned on its side, Wanyu was stupefied. She noticed something new.


    She saw that the arrow had twisted direction.


    Wanyu took out the card, delicate and slender finger pinching it, turning it up, down, left and right. She found that no matter how she turned it, the light black arrow always pointed in the southeast direction without changing.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    She was bewildered, but all the other people in her dorm had gone out to meet their boyfriends today, so she had no one to discuss it with.


    As a very ordinary university, most of the students at the Starlight Institute did not manage to establish the foundation when they graduated.


    And among her dorm mates, the other three didn¡¯t plan to join the military, so they had already found boyfriends, planning to get married right after graduation.


    Shi Wanyu is just an ordinary beautiful girl, who instinctively resists the military department that is said to be particularly exhausting and tiring in the legends.


    However, every time she thinks about resigning to her fate and finding a boyfriend, the image of Chen Mobai unconsciously floats in her mind.


    After several such incidents, she ends up graduating still with the emotional maturity of a fledgling.


    Shi Wanyu initially decided to muster the courage to confess to Chen Mobai before graduation.


    If she was rejected, she would totally give up and marry a boy who was pleasing to the eye and treated her well, just like her friend does.


    If by some blind chance of fate, she succeeded, then she would joyfully bear his child and be a virtuous wife and good mother¡­


    Yet, she always stops at sending the draft message that she edits on her phone.


    Because Shi Wanyu knows that once this message was sent, their relationship which is more or less at the level of friendship might come to an end.


    So every time her fingers tremble, unable to click.


    Today was no different.


    While Shi Wanyu was knocking her own head in frustration, she suddenly found the arrow on the card in her hand lighting up.


    It seemed to guide her in a certain direction.


    ¡°Anyway, there¡¯s nothing to do, let¡¯s go and see.¡±


    Shi Wanyu glanced at the empty dormitory, shrugged on a cardigan, changed into her rounded leather shoes, and went out the door with the card.


    After some time, she arrived at a museum inside Starlight Institute.


    This was an exhibition hall open to both the school and outside, displaying various items from the school¡¯s celebrities.


    Shi Wanyu glanced at the card in her hand, and after confirming that it was indeed pointing here, she swiped her student ID and walked in.


    [Not still in the back of the exhibition hall, right?]


    The museum usually doesn¡¯t have many visitors, and now it¡¯s close to graduation, so it¡¯s even more empty, only with Shi Wanyu muttering to herself holding the card.


    However, just as she was wondering if she should go and look behind the museum, the arrow on the card in her hand suddenly disappeared.


    [Eh?]


    Shi Wanyu was surprised, she picked up the card and looked closely, finding out that it really had disappeared.


    She couldn¡¯t help but look around and saw an exhibit right in front of her.


    This was an elegant long sword displayed in a glass case.


    There was also a name and introduction below.


    [Streamer Sword!]


    Shi Wanyu carefully read the introduction below and discovered that this was a Rank-3 lower-grade sword. It was the personal sword of the first principal of Starlight Institute.


    The principal came from Dance Tool Daoist Academy. Although he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, because his Cultivation Level lacked a strong enough qualification for Core Formation, he only achieved perfection in Foundation Establishment in his entire life.


    However, the principal, in his last moments, infused all his life-energy into this Streamer Sword with ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, upgrading it from a rank-2 peak to a rank-3 lower-grade.


    In order to commemorate the principal¡¯s spirit, this Streamer Sword was kept here, with spirit stones from the Immortal Sect nourishing it every year to maintain its rank.


    Reading this, Shi Wanyu took another look at the Streamer Sword. Sure enough, on the silk cloth pressed against the hilt, she found a piece of jade with a dull glow.


    This should be the Spirit Stone!


    Although most people in the Immortal Sect know of Spirit Stones, most of them have only seen them on TV.


    Shi Wanyu did see the Spirit Stone of the Purple Electric Sword at the Mountain and Sea Academy, but there is a huge difference between one Spirit Stone and another.


    After seeing this Streamer Sword, Shi Wanyu didn¡¯t know why the card would lead her here.

    She took another round and discovered nothing. She couldn¡¯t help but shake her head, turned around, and was about to leave.


    But she realized someone had been standing behind her unknowingly.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Shi Wanyu couldn¡¯t help but scream. Soon, she realized that she had seen this person before.


    The card in her hand was the one she drew from him.

 Chapter 799 - Chapter 799 Chapter 457 What is your wish_1

    Chapter 799: Chapter 457: What is your wish?_1 Chapter 799: Chapter 457: What is your wish?_1 ¡°You are¡­¡±


    Master Wanyu recognized the girl in front of her who was wearing a white inner garment, a black outer coat, black skirt, and black stockings as the person who had once told her fortune, but she didn¡¯t quite know what to call her.


    She hadn¡¯t asked back then, and so she now found herself standing awkwardly in place.


    ¡°My name is¡­Chen Chun!¡±


    The girl hesitated a bit, but still revealed her own name.


    ¡°Chen Chun¡­That¡¯s a good name.¡±


    After hearing it, Master Wanyu responded politely. Internally, however, she was thinking: [She has the same surname as him¡­]


    Then, she reacted. She picked up the card in her hand, eyebrows slightly furrowed as she asked Chen Chun with some confusion, ¡°Did you lead me here? Or are you also here for a visit?¡±


    In fact, Master Wanyu was already leaning towards the first answer.


    ¡°Everyone who gets a Destiny Card from us in The Divine Machine Mansion is someone we are predestined with. Our lineage evolves through divining the fate of these predestined individuals,¡± Chen Chun confirmed with a nod, pointing towards the card in Master Wanyu¡¯s hand. ¡°You are one of these predestined individuals.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Master Wanyu¡¯s face displayed her confusion. As far as she remembered, she had only been able to tell her fortune thanks to Chen Mobai.


    Logically, Chen Mobai should be Chen Chun¡¯s predestined one.


    Or does everyone who¡¯s ever had their fortune told count as a predestined person?


    If that¡¯s the case, isn¡¯t it too casual?


    ¡°That is, I don¡¯t need my fortune told anymore. You can go find other predestined individuals.¡±


    Master Wanyu had never been interested in fortune telling¨Cif it was of any use, she would¡¯ve been able to fly away with him long ago.


    ¡°Fortune telling is merely a means to begin finding the predestined individuals. Guiding these individuals is about showing them a way to fulfill their heart¡¯s desire.¡±


    Just as Master Wanyu was about to turn around and leave, Chen Chun suddenly said something that made her pause. After hearing it, she immediately turned back round, her eyes sparkling with interest.


    ¡°Fulfilling wishes, is this true?¡±


    Seeing Master Wanyu¡¯s interested expression, Chen Chun felt secretly relieved. However, she still spoke with an even tone to the girl in front of her.


    ¡°It¡¯s not exactly fulfilling wishes¨Cwe¡¯re not gods, after all¨Cwe merely point out a way for you to fulfill them. Whether they come to fruition or not depends on the actions of the predestined individuals themselves.¡±


    Master Wanyu felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but considering she was about to graduate, and since she¡¯d given up any hope of Foundation Establishment, her deepest, longest-held hopes, which she had never dared to verbalize, began to take form. They surged forth, on the verge of being spoken aloud.


    Thankfully, her sense of embarrassment kept this impulse in check at the very last moment.


    Seeing Master Wanyu¡¯s hesitance, Chen Chun became slightly anxious.


    With anyone else, as soon as she said this, they¡¯d spill out their deepest wishes as if she were some wish-granting machine.


    Why was this person so reserved?


    Should it be said that she was truly worthy of being his¡­


    Even now, with no memory of the past, still just an innocent, naive girl, her state of mind was as calm as ever.


    ¡°Speak of your innermost wish, and I¡¯ll tell you the way to achieve it.¡±


    Chen Chun spoke again, her gaze landing on the Streamer Sword behind Master Wanyu.


    She had led her here because of this sword¨Cit could help her succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    Master Wanyu was about to graduate after ten years at university. If she didn¡¯t want to join the military, then her deepest wish must surely be to succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    In this way, she could be exempt from military service.


    As the heiress to The Divine Machine Mansion, Chen Chun had predicted all of Master Wanyu¡¯s thoughts. She was simply waiting for her to speak so she could calmly point to the Streamer Sword.


    She would then say: [What you desire is right behind you].


    Even just imagining this scene, Chen Chun felt it was incredibly powerful. It was fitting with the long-standing, sophisticated and extraordinary style of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    ¡°Actually, my wish is a bit difficult for me to say.¡±


    Master Wanyu finally gave in to Chen Chun¡¯s persuasions, coupled with the urgency she felt as her upcoming graduation and possible military service loomed. She decided to at least give it a try, revealing a little bit of what was on her mind to Chen Chun.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Within our sect, there is almost nothing we do not know,¡± Chen Chun¡¯s tone was casual but her confidence was palpable.


    ¡°As you know, I¡¯m about to graduate soon. But since I haven¡¯t established my foundation, and I don¡¯t want to serve in the military, so¡­¡± Under Chen Chun¡¯s guidance, Master Wanyu overcame her shyness. With her face flushing and her eyes glittering, she continued.

    Upon hearing this, a smile tugged at the corners of Chen Chun¡¯s mouth.


    As she thought, everything was as she had predicted. There wasn¡¯t a word or a sentence she hadn¡¯t anticipated.


    Just as Chen Chun was about to cough slightly, raising her finger to point towards the Streamer Sword behind Master Wanyu, the other half of a sentence she never could have predicted fell into her ears.


    ¡°¡­I was thinking, could I have a child? That way, I wouldn¡¯t have to serve in the military.¡±


    After Master Wanyu finished speaking, her snow-white cheeks turned a fiery red. She embarrassedly raised her hand to cover her eyes, not daring to look at Chen Chun¡¯s reaction.

 Chapter 800 - Chapter 800 Chapter 457 What is your wish_2

    Chapter 800: Chapter 457: What is your wish?_2 Chapter 800: Chapter 457: What is your wish?_2 Luckily, she didn¡¯t see it, or else the blank look on Chen Chun¡¯s face, which was close to shattered beliefs, would deter her from wanting to continue the tale.


    Three seconds after his shock, Chen Chun finally snapped back to reality.


    He immediately recomposed his expression, hiding the turmoil brewing within him.


    ¡°Well¡­ there is actually another better option that doesn¡¯t require you to serve in the military,¡±


    After a while, Chen Chun gently reminded her.


    This was already somewhat breaking the rules of The Divine Machine Mansion. They could only fulfill the requests of those who were destined to be, without altering their inner desires.


    But Master Wanyu¡¯s wish still stumped Chen Chun.


    At that moment, he found the profound knowledge he once took pride in as nothing more than a laughingstock.


    ¡°Oh, really, a special clause in the Immortal Path? But, I still want a child. Didn¡¯t you say there¡¯s a way to fulfill any desire? Is this an exception?¡±


    There are certain laws in the Immortal Path that can exempt one from military service, such as after meritorious deeds or if one is the only son capable of inheriting familial responsibilities. However, these conditions are very strict, requiring at least a Core Formation cultivator as a guarantor.


    Master Wanyu felt these rules didn¡¯t apply to her as a commoner, so she decided on the ¡°simplest¡± way to avoid military service.


    ¡°Of course ¡­ it¡¯s possible. What kind of child do you want?¡±


    With teeth gritted, Chen Chun managed to utter those words. His previous statement was already pushing the boundaries. Now, he dared not transgress further and just had to go along with it.


    ¡°I want his child.¡±


    Master Wanyu shyly spoke again, lowering her head. She didn¡¯t dare to say the name Chen Mobai, so she took out her phone, brought up a picture of the two of them taken at the Mountain Sea Academy, and showed it to Chen Chun.


    Never before had Chen Chun found that handsome face so annoying.


    ¡°This ¡­ is a bit difficult ¡­ but I can tell you the method.¡±


    Chen Chun couldn¡¯t help but try to remind Master Wanyu again that all she needed to do was Foundation Establishment to avoid military service.


    But then suddenly she had an uneasy feeling and realized she couldn¡¯t break the rules anymore. So, she changed her tune and went along with the customer¡¯s demand.


    ¡°What is the method?¡±


    Hearing this, Master Wanyu was no longer shy. Lifting her head, she fervently looked at Chen Chun, who was standing in the shadows, managing a calm composure.


    ¡°You go to this place ¡­ And then ¡­¡±


    With a sigh, Chen Chun had no choice but to reluctantly explain to Master Wanyu the way to achieve her wish.


    ¡°Can it really be done this way?¡±


    Master Wanyu was somewhat dubious after hearing it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you the method. Whether you can fulfill this wish depends on your own actions.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Chun felt that today¡¯s connection was coming to an end. If she carried on, she feared she might face retribution due to her excessive interference. So, she simply shook her head, turned around and disappeared into the shadows.


    Master Wanyu was still skeptical, wanting to ask more questions, but when she looked up, Chen Chun had already melted into the wall, disappearing from her sight.


    ¡°Does this really work?¡±


    In the end, Master Wanyu left the museum, holding the card in her hand with a mixture of suspicion and belief.


    Only after she was gone did Chen Chun reappear.


    Approaching the Streamer Sword, she took several deep breaths to calm her shattered emotions.


    After a long while, with a hint of regret, she performed a salute to the sword before disappearing from the museum.


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was unaware that someone was plotting against him in secret.


    He was following Che Yucheng to the Principal¡¯s Office on the top floor of Building One.


    This was his second time there. He had been there once before when he enrolled, brought there by Che Yucheng. At that time all Metaphysical Class students had their complete data scanned with Principal¡¯s Soulful Mirror and input into the formless humanoid module.


    But this time was different. He was actually going to meet the principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Master Cheng Xuan, one of the fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Path.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai was meeting a Nascent Soul cultivator in person, so he was extremely excited.


    Compared to him, Zhongli Tianyu was much calmer.


    Only the two of them were meeting the Master Cheng Xuan.


    They were selected for their outstanding performances in the graduation project of the Class of 5012. Cheng Xuan gave them an opportunity to refine the embryo of their life-defining magical treasure.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Finally, they arrived at the Principal¡¯s office. Che Yucheng politely knocked on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    A gentle and kindly voice echoed in the room, and Che Yucheng opened the door.


    Chen Mobai looked up to see the principal Cheng Xuan sitting behind his desk. He looked like a kind and affable old man with a warm smile, dark red hair, and an overall gentle demeanor.

    ¡°Good day, Principal.¡±


    After Che Yucheng greeted, Chen Mobai immediately bowed his head to say hello, followed by Zhongli Tianyu. Although he was the last, his manner was still sincere.


    Clearly, even people of Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s status held genuine respect for the Nascent Soul cultivator.


    They were trailblazers who had reached the peak on the path of Immortal Cultivation. Even though Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu were extraordinarily talented, they weren¡¯t entirely confident they could reach the stature of Cheng Xuan in this lifetime.


    Thus, to Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu, Master Cheng Xuan was like a monument standing atop a mountain.

 Chapter 801 - Chapter 801 Chapter 457 Do you have any wishes_3

    Chapter 801: Chapter 457 Do you have any wishes_3 Chapter 801: Chapter 457 Do you have any wishes_3 With respect and longing,


    ¡°I am very satisfied with both of your graduation projects, so I plan to give you a reward. Cheng has told you about the reward, hasn¡¯t he?¡±


    Who is Cheng?


    Chen Mobai did not react at first, but soon heard a cough from Che Yucheng.


    ¡°I still have some work to do, so I will take my leave now.¡±


    After saying that, Che Yucheng left the office and even took the liberty of closing the door behind him.


    So, it was his teacher!


    He never expected such a youthful moniker.


    ¡°What kind of Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo do you want? Little Chen, you go first,¡± Master Chengxuan said in a gentle tone, lacking the frightening aura and majesty one might expect from a Nascent Soul Superior. He was like a kindly neighborly grandfather having a heart-to-heart with them.


    ¡°I wish to refine a Pure Yang Bell¡­¡± Chen Mobai immediately voiced the thought he had long decided upon.


    ¡°Hmm, a fine choice. And how do you plan to acquire the materials?¡± Master Chengxuan nodded and then asked.


    ¡°I have some assets back home that I can mortgage for a loan to buy Rank-3 Red Copper, but since Rank-3 materials require cultivators of Core Formation or above to purchase, I may need the Daoist Academy¡¯s assistance,¡± Chen Mobai explained, mindful not to do anything in front of the Nascent Soul Superior that might expose the Turtle Treasure. If he were to refine a Pure Yang Bell, he planned to purchase Rank-3 Red Copper through the most official channels from the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Do you have a hundred credits?¡± Master Chengxuan asked with a smile after hearing this.


    ¡°Yes, I even have some to spare,¡± Chen Mobai realized the principal¡¯s intention almost instantly upon remembering something Ming Yuhua had once said, and he couldn¡¯t help but show a surprised and pleased expression as he responded.


    ¡°Inside the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ that Duanmu is safeguarding, there should be a Magic Artifact refined from Rank-3 Red Copper. Later, come with me to the Treasure Trove. We¡¯ll exchange a Device Piece to open that sphere, and then the materials should be nearly sufficient.¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Principal.¡± Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude, and Master Chengxuan turned his head to ask Zhongli Tianyu what he wanted for a Magical Treasure Embryo.


    ¡°I already have a Mirror; there¡¯s nothing else I want,¡± Zhongli Tianyu unexpectedly said, surprising them.


    ¡°You should think this through carefully. Even if the patriarch of your Zhong Li clan asked me to refine something, I might not necessarily agree,¡± Master Chengxuan, a Fifth-order Refiner of the Immortal Gate, was entitled to make this statement.


    Zhongli Tianyu, however, continued to shake his head, indicating that he already felt somewhat overwhelmed just supporting the Bagua Mirror and truly did not have the energy to deal with a second Lifespan Artifact.


    ¡°To specialize in one alone is also not bad,¡± Master Chengxuan said after hearing this, nodding his head and not forcing the issue further.


    ¡°But since I¡¯ve spoken, I should still give you some benefit. Let me help you refine the Bagua Mirror.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhongli Tianyu no longer shook his head in response to this.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you both to the Treasure Trove, do not resist¡­¡± At that moment, Master Chengxuan spoke and then stood in front of both Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu, extending his hands to place them upon their shoulders.


    After a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai felt as if he¡¯d clicked the Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation, moving directly from one place to another in an instant.


    And it was at this precise moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s cell phone began to vibrate.


    The Turtle Treasure, which had been silent for quite some time, was issuing a pop-up notification again.

 Chapter 802 - Chapter 802 458 Morning Bell

    Chapter 802: 458 Morning Bell Chapter 802: 458 Morning Bell [Detecting that the host has crossed the Heaven and Earth Placenta. Do you wish to anchor this new world for future teleportation?]


    Chen Mobai had encountered this pop-up notification twice before, once in the Divine Tree Secret Realm within the Tianhe Realm and another time in the serene Minor Realm of Jumang Academy.


    In other words, he had now entered a Minor World with Master Chengxuan.


    This must be the Domain of the Nascent Soul Superior!


    It was even recognized by the Turtle Treasure as a new world.


    As Chen Mobai thought this, he immediately pressed down on the vibration of his phone since he was in the presence of a Nascent Soul Superior and didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.


    Just then, the silver light that enveloped him dissipated, and a dark red glaze filled his sight. Looking around, he realized he was deep within the Treasure Trove.


    They were hovering in midair. Looking down, he saw the black island at the very heart of the magma below.


    This method of teleporting people¨Cwas it a unique spell cultivated by Master Chengxuan, or was it a hallmark of the Nascent Soul Domain?


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai silently followed Master Chengxuan as they gently descended to the ground.


    Duanmu Longrong, who had sensed their presence above, had already left her stone house. It seemed she had been notified in advance since her expression remained unchanged upon seeing them.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    Despite her composed demeanor, Duanmu Longrong still greeted Master Chengxuan with respectful courtesy.


    ¡°Hmm, bring out that Black Gold Stamp crafted from Rank-3 Red Copper and the Sky Thunder Crystal Pearl.¡±


    As the Dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the foremost Artifact Refiner in the Immortal Gate, Master Chengxuan knew every Rank-3 or higher Magic Artifact within the Treasure Trove like the back of his hand.


    Upon his request, Duanmu Longrong immediately retrieved two ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± from the stone house.


    Chen Mobai stepped forward and exchanged one hundred school credits for a Device Piece, as Zhongli Tianyu, who needed it for his graduation project, had just opened a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± to refine his charm and hence did not have enough credits in his account.


    ¡°We¡¯ll settle with a debt for now. After graduation, you can stay for a few years as a Teaching Assistant. Once the debt is repaid, you can leave,¡± Duanmu Longrong suggested a solution before Master Chengxuan could speak, and Zhongli Tianyu hesitated but then nodded. After all, not just anyone had the opportunity to have the Dean craft a Magic Artifact for them.


    The two Device Pieces triggered the fire Technique Godlight, which opened the two ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡±, revealing a dark red copper seal and a crystal pearl flickering with lightning.


    Master Chengxuan nodded, reached out with a gesture, and appraised the two items.


    ¡°Hmm, their spirit has not diminished, well preserved.¡±


    After affirming Duanmu Longrong¡¯s work, Master Chengxuan extended his other hand and grasped towards the Void above the island¡¯s surrounding magma.


    This action seemed to possess the might of Heaven and Earth. The vast expanse of magma swirled with the consolidation of his fingers. The Fire Godlight, which had incinerated the ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡±, was seized by him, transforming into a stream of golden light that settled upon the copper seal.


    A few breaths later, the Rank-3 Magic Artifact transitioned from solid to a liquid state of crimson red.


    So this was the power of a Nascent Soul Superior!?


    Witnessing this scene, both Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu were visibly shocked.


    A Rank-3 Magic Artifact had reverted to its original form between his hands¨Cinstantaneously! Had it fallen upon a person, they likely would have turned to ash.


    ¡°Little Chen, do you have any requirements for the appearance of the Pure Yang Bell, like engraving your seal or name?¡±


    At this moment, Master Chengxuan was molding the molten Red Copper into the shape of a bell and asked simultaneously.


    ¡°No special requirements, just keep it low-key and simple. On the inner wall, you can engrave my surname.¡±


    Chen Mobai was going to take this Pure Yang Bell to challenge the formidable beings of the Tianhe Realm, where ostentatious Magic Artifacts could attract unwanted attention.


    However, since it would be his Lifespan Artifact, after some thought, Chen Mobai still wished to inscribe a character to signify his ownership.


    ¡°How about ¡®Morning¡¯? Morning signifies the rising Sun; it¡¯s full of vitality and suits the essence of the Pure Yang Bell,¡± Master Chengxuan suggested after a moment¡¯s consideration, coming up with a character that suited Chen Mobai¡¯s preference perfectly.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately nodded in agreement.


    By this time, Master Chengxuan had begun to inscribe Restrictions and Seal Formulas into the Red Copper, and the contours of the ¡°Morning Bell¡± began to emerge.


    ¡°Give me a drop of your Essence Blood and a thread of your Spiritual Power.¡±


    At the final stage, Master Chengxuan spoke again, prompting Chen Mobai to bite his fingertip and let a drop of Pure Yang Spiritual Power mixed with his Essence Blood fall onto the furnace of the Morning Bell.


    With a resonant clang, the Essence Blood and Spiritual Power merged.


    Chen Mobai felt his Heart and Mind clarified by the bell¡¯s chime as if it had reverberated through him. His Divine Sense, which had been improved due to Meng Huang¡¯s assistance, became even more solid and pure.


    And this was merely the Artifact Embryo, which was already astonishingly effective. Should it be raised to Rank-3, the outcome would be even more formidable.

    Chen Mobai sensed his Divine Sense being tempered by the bell¡¯s sound and couldn¡¯t help but show a pleased expression.


    Indeed, choosing the Pure Yang Bell was the right decision.


    With it, his third tribulation in Core Formation would no longer be an issue.


    ¡°Take it. Nourish it with the methods from the Pure Yang Scroll. You will have to wait sixty years before you can attempt Core Formation. After reaching Foundation Establishment Completion, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power you cultivate over the decades can be instilled in it. Perhaps this will allow you to upgrade it to Rank-3 before you undergo Core Formation.¡±


    Master Chengxuan advised Chen Mobai. It was because of this guidance that he was willing to Refine the bell. If it were any other student in Foundation Establishment within the Academy, they might be hindered by their Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo, upsetting the progression of their cultivation.

 Chapter 803 - Chapter 803 Chapter 458 Morning Bell_2

    Chapter 803: Chapter 458 Morning Bell_2 Chapter 803: Chapter 458 Morning Bell_2 ¡°`


    But Chen Mobai was already at the Seventh Layer of the Foundation Establishment, and with his talent, he was definitely able to reach the Completion of Foundation Establishment within ten years. The most agonizing days within the Immortal Gate were those spent waiting for resources to break through a realm.


    Qi Cultivation awaited the three treasures of Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment awaited the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Gold Core awaited Baby-forming Spiritual Things, the Nascent Soul awaited the Shocking God Sonata, and so on.


    Master Chengxuan, having been through it all, understood this the best.


    Therefore, he wanted to find something to pass the time for the most outstanding graduate of the Daoist Academy who would definitely be able to cultivate to Completion of the Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Thirty-five minutes and twenty-seven seconds, I¡¯ve gotten old. A hundred years ago, when I refined an Artifact Embryo of this Third-Rank, it always took less than half an hour,¡±


    After handing over the Morning Bell to Chen Mobai, Master Chengxuan pulled out his phone to check the time and couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply.


    His words left the three people present unsure how to respond.


    ¡°This Sky Thunder Crystal Pearl cannot be refined with the Flame Technique; it needs to be refined with coldness. The material of this crystal is the same as the Zhen Hexagram Mirror piece of your Bagua Mirror. I see that you have a preference for the Thunder Method, so I¡¯ll enhance it a bit.¡±


    Master Chengxuan, worthy of being the top Artifact Refiner of the Immortal Gate, even though Zhongli Tianyu had no particular demands, still did his best to satisfy them.


    However, since the Bagua Mirror was originally a Fifth-Rank Magic Weapon, Master Chengxuan didn¡¯t dare to overhaul it drastically and merely affixed the Sky Thunder Crystal Pearl onto the Zhen Hexagram Mirror piece with a special spiritual adhesive and applied two restrictions.


    As Zhongli Tianyu continued to cultivate with this artifact in the coming days, the essence of the Sky Thunder within the pearl would merge continuously into the artifact and his body. By the time he formed his Core, the power of the Bagua Mirror¡¯s Zhen Hexgram could be restored by ten to twenty percent.


    ¡°Many thanks, President.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was clearly knowledgeable about artifacts, and after taking the Bagua Mirror, he thanked Master Chengxuan.


    ¡°I hope to see you two at the grand assembly in Kaiyuan Hall in the future.¡±


    Those who were able to participate in the grand assembly of Kaiyuan Hall were all Cultivators above the Gold Core level in the Immortal Gate.


    When Master Chengxuan said this, it was clear that he had high hopes for Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°We will not fail the President¡¯s expectations.¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally full of confidence. With resources from two realms at his disposal, he had no fear about forming his Core now.


    This confidence made Master Chengxuan burst into hearty laughter, and then he disappeared on the spot in a flash of silver light.


    ¡°Could¡­ Teacher Duanmu bring us back?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched as Master Chengxuan teleported away, then glanced at Duanmu Longrong not too far away, and somewhat embarrassedly opened his mouth to speak.


    In the end, it was Che Yucheng who personally came over and took them both out.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t go back to his wooden hut.


    He told Meng Huang that he was still in the Treasure Trove and used the excuse that he had just received his Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo and wasn¡¯t fully proficient with it. He said he needed to employ the Art of Nurturing Artifacts for a few days to imbue it properly.


    Meng Huang, while somewhat disappointed, was very understanding.


    It just so happened that she was also using these few days to go to Building No. 9 to rent a room for cultivation. She planned to regulate her Essence, Qi, and Spirit and then take a Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment.


    After hanging up the phone with Meng Huang, Chen Mobai sighed in relief.


    Zhongli Tianyu was actually going back to the student council, but Chen Mobai, to avoid Meng Huang discovering from him that his words were just an excuse, dragged him to Little Red Sky for a few rounds of sparring.


    Now, the bouts between the two were no longer the one-sided thrashing as before.


    Zhongli Tianyu had improved beyond imagination in these two years. Not only had he defeated all students at Starlight Institute from the Four Great Daoist Sects and the Ten Great Academies in Little Red Sky, but even many graduated Foundation Establishment Practitioners had been defeated by him.


    Only Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners with renowned names like Wen Ren Xuewei, Lou Fengcheng, and Tao Mingqing could manage to beat Zhongli Tianyu in their Little Red Sky encounters.


    However, in another two years, when Zhongli Tianyu also reached Ninth Layer Completion, aside from Chen Mobai, there would probably be no other Foundation Establishment Practitioner who could suppress him.


    The two fought five rounds in Little Red Sky, with Chen Mobai winning all of them, but he nearly went all out with his full arsenal of abilities.


    If it were not for the Flame Explosion Technique, Thousand Swords Dharma Body, and Five Elements Sword Sha Formation, these three ultimate moves, Zhongli Tianyu could even force a draw with Chen Mobai.


    It¡¯s just that it the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chen Mobai had reached the endpoint. Any further improvement would require a huge effort.


    And those who had been left behind by him like Zhongli Tianyu had made up for their lack in magical combat through Little Red Sky, chasing after him step by step.


    ¡°`


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t become an old guy who¡¯s just a walking experience book.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai enjoyed being a mentor, he didn¡¯t like the idea of being the wave that gets crashed by the one behind, so after realizing this, he felt an urgency towards Core Formation.


    He even considered not waiting for Meng Huang, and once he completed Qi Cultivation with a Rank-3 Pure Yang body and achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment, to try breaking through to Core Formation on his own.


    With his right hand open, five streams of light flickered, transforming into a five-colored Sword Domain, trapping Zhongli Tianyu and defeating him. After that, Chen Mobai was the first to exit Little Red Sky.


    The two of them were in the cave of the Fire Spirit Tree, with Bian Jingchun practicing the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in the next chamber.


    This place was also their secret base.


    Glancing at Zhongli Tianyu, who was unconscious on the ground, Chen Mobai sat on a stone and took out his smartphone.


    During the Magic Duel in Little Red Sky, he had felt the notification of a text message, which led him to quickly end the fight using the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation.


    Shi Wanyu: [Senior Chen, as graduation approaches, I¡¯m not sure if there will be another opportunity to meet, I¡¯d like to express my best wishes for you with a delicious meal, looking forward to your reply.]


    Was this an invitation for a meal?


    After reading it, Chen Mobai did some reading comprehension.


    He had a deep impression of the youthful and beautiful Shi Wanyu but felt it was better not to send too many signals.


    At the parting from Mountain and Sea Academy, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think he would have any more dealings with her, yet at graduation, she gathered the courage to invite him on a date.


    Chen Mobai: [I¡¯ve been busy with graduation preparations lately, and as you know, I¡¯m the head of the Daoist Academy, responsible for many things. I¡¯ll invite you when I have some free time later.]


    After some thought, Chen Mobai tactfully declined Shi Wanyu¡¯s invitation.


    Starlight Institute.


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s response, Shi Wanyu, who had been full of anticipation, suddenly saw her brightness fade, her eyes dimmed as if losing their highlight, her lips twitching as if she was about to lose control and cry.


    In the shadows of the dormitory balcony, Chen Chun, who witnessed this, doubted if she had found the wrong person.


    The girl in front of her couldn¡¯t possibly be the fated one, right?


    She couldn¡¯t believe that the person was so love-struck!


    But immediately, Chen Chun encouraged herself, thinking this was simply the backlash for peeking into destiny too often, which made her own cause and effect cultivation less smooth.


    It was not entirely a lost cause yet; as long as Shi Wanyu realized that completing Foundation Establishment could exempt her from military service, everything would return to the right track.


    But shouldn¡¯t that be common sense?


    Who reacts by thinking of having a baby first? So frustrating!


    With these thoughts, Chen Chun planned the next encounter with Shi Wanyu. Seeing the latter in the throes of heartbreak, she chose not to reveal herself for now.


    ¡­


    Inside the Treasure Trove.


    After rejecting Shi Wanyu¡¯s invitation, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that back in Mountain and Sea Academy, she seemed to have given him a gift.


    It was said to be a White Stone infused with her Sword Qi.


    Recalling this, Chen Mobai took out a beautifully embroidered Sword Bag, the size of his palm and adorned with a simple line drawing of the two of them together, from his Storage Bag.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he was about to open it, his phone suddenly rang.


    It was Meng Huang.


    [I feel like I¡¯m about to make a breakthrough. Do you want to come over?]


    Of course.


    As someone who loved cultivation so dearly, he would not miss any chance to improve himself.


    As he got up to leave, Chen Mobai casually emptied the White Stone from the Sword Bag¡­

 Chapter 804 - Chapter 804 Chapter 459 Are you free

    Chapter 804: Chapter 459: Are you free? Chapter 804: Chapter 459: Are you free? A rather peculiar white stone fell into Chen Mobai¡¯s palm.


    The jade-white exterior sparkled with a rainbow-like radiance.


    Chen Mobai was stunned. What was this?


    He knew that despite all his hard work infusing the Five Elements Sword Qi into it, it only shimmered with multicolored light.


    How could the white stone that Shi Wanyu infused with Sword Qi emit such an array of light?


    Could she be more talented than him, a peerless Sword Cultivation genius?


    Impossible. Chen Mobai was very aware of how many resources he had used to get to this point, how many times he had received Empowerment from the Great Dao Tree.


    Even Zha Jianbai, a true Sword Dao genius, could not infuse five Sword Qis into a white stone at his age.


    How could a mere student from the Starlight Institute surpass him?


    Amidst his shock, Chen Mobai had yet to grasp the gravity of the situation.


    He sat down, activated his Void Spirit Eye, and began to carefully observe the white stone in his palm.


    Gradually, he discerned a pattern.


    The rainbow-like dazzle would flash intermittently, like a flickering rainbow light ¡ª brilliant when bright, but in its dim state, it was just a thread of very ordinary white light that resembled the color of the white stone itself. If Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye wasn¡¯t cultivated to a high level, he might not have noticed this detail.


    That is to say, this was a white light Sword Qi that could flash an array of beautiful colors.


    Having understood this, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    He thought of Shi Wanyu, also chosen by Hao Cao, the headmaster of the Mountain and Sea Academy, as one of the unparalleled Sword Cultivation geniuses; it made sense that she could do this.


    It could even be said that Shi Wanyu¡¯s talent in Sword Dao was superior to Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    Chen Mobai, thinking this, returned the white stone to his sword bag. He didn¡¯t notice that the white light Sword Qi was flashing fourteen different colors.


    Eager to help Meng Huang with her breakthrough, he repacked the sword bag into his storage bag and vanished on the spot.


    Of course, before he left, he informed Bian Jingchun next door to avoid Zhongli Tianyu causing an uproar upon waking and finding him absent.


    Having arrived at Building Number Nine, he calmly rented a room, and in the evening, he knocked on Meng Huang¡¯s door to listen to her singing.


    A dream of his youth was once again fulfilled.


    Accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction, and aided by the Mystic Sound Method, Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense had improved once more.


    The amount of Divine Sense, which had decreased due to being tempered by the Morning Bell, had recovered to its previous peak.


    Even during this process, the green paulownia seedlings in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flowered and bore fruit, nearly covering the entire peripheral area.


    ¡­


    Time flowed like water.


    The graduation ceremony arrived in no time.


    It began with performances by the students. Compared to Meng Huang¡¯s professionalism, their movements were stiff, their expression management was average, but they were full of energy, and each performance was heartfelt.


    The host of the graduation ceremony was Zhuang Jialan, who with clever smiles and grace, led the program according to the rehearsal schedule.


    Following the student performances, Che Yucheng, a representative of the Daoist Academy¡¯s teachers, took the stage to speak.


    Sitting in the backstage lounge, Chen Mobai watched the stage shown on the wall screen, looking at the auditorium that was rarely full, when suddenly, he felt a twinge of nerves.


    ¡°Why do I feel like there¡¯s no difference between the second layer and the first layer of Foundation Establishment?¡±


    In this lounge, aside from Chen Mobai, there was Meng Huang, the big star. She sat on a sofa, stretching out her snow-white, slender fingers, fiddling with a Jade Xiao Magical Instrument.


    She was the finale of the ceremony, with a solo Xiao performance that followed the opera, to depict the theme of a Cultivator¡¯s long and profound life.


    ¡°Your Mystic Sound Method is mainly auxiliary, so there isn¡¯t much change in Spiritual Power and Divine Sense. You¡¯ll feel the difference when you break through from the third to the fourth layer. By the way, is there a way not to be nervous on stage?¡±


    After answering Meng Huang¡¯s question, Chen Mobai asked about her experience performing on stage.


    ¡°I forgot, I¡¯ve been singing since I was very little. Since I can remember, I¡¯ve been used to performing on stage and never felt nervous,¡± replied Meng Huang, tilting her head. Her first memory of being on stage was already a bit blurry.


    ¡°I see. Then I¡¯ll go over my speech again.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, as the representative of the graduates, had a speech to deliver. He had written this script with great care, even phoned his grandfather for advice, fine-tuning every word to ensure it met the most official standards, leaving no room for critique.


    ¡°If you¡¯re really nervous, there¡¯s still some time. I can help you relax a little,¡± said Meng Huang, suddenly offering with a playful smile, making Chen Mobai look up in surprise. He nodded subconsciously, his gaze, however, not leaving the speech in his hands.


    Then his expression turned awkward; by the time he wanted to stop her, it was too late.


    It was only then that Chen Mobai realized that Meng Huang¡¯s outfit for today¡¯s performance was the one he had mentioned before, the same one he had first seen her wearing when she performed the Stepping Moon Tune in Red Sandstone City.


    The dress, like layers of gossamer fabric, could not conceal her elongated figure, the exquisitely painted makeup on her beautiful face enhanced her stunning appearance. A plum blossom hairpin adorned her smooth forehead, and the two slanted rouge marks on her cheeks contrasted with her snow-white skin. Paired with lavish earrings, she looked more elegant than when they had first met.

 Chapter 805 - Chapter 805 Chapter 459 Are You Free_2

    Chapter 805: Chapter 459: Are You Free?_2 Chapter 805: Chapter 459: Are You Free?_2 Meng Huang felt her movements were a bit clumsy and couldn¡¯t help but reach up to gather her cascading jet-black hair and brush it over her shoulders.


    No one knew how she had managed it, but every move she made was simple and generous yet filled with enchanting charm.


    With her help, Chen Mobai completely relaxed.


    If there had been more time, he would have wanted to hear Meng Huang sing again.


    ¡°Today, we graduate¡­¡±


    ¡°This is an important day, and a milestone of our journey¡­¡±


    ¡°Here, I want to thank my teachers¡­ my classmates¡­¡±


    ¡°We are about to face new challenges, to bravely step out of our comfort zones, to explore unknown new worlds, to achieve our dreams¡­¡±


    ¡°Lastly, I want to thank the Daoist Academy for giving me the most wonderful memories of my life, these ten years will forever live in my heart.¡±


    ¡°Thank you all¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished his very grown-up speech, the students sitting below responded with a loud round of applause, giving face.


    Of course, there were some with quirkier personalities who were disappointed by the unexpected gravity shown by him, the academy¡¯s most outstanding disciple in the last hundred years.


    But those who knew Chen Mobai understood that this was his style.


    He treaded steadily at every step and never made any mistakes when it came to matters of principle.


    At the end of the graduation ceremony, the much-anticipated Meng Huang took the stage.


    Those fellow students from the Daoist Academy who had once slandered her had all graduated, and no one spoke of her having entered through the back door anymore, for she had succeeded in Foundation Establishment.


    Also, because of her outstanding influence in the Immortal Gate, Meng Huang had instead become a distinguished alumna of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    In fact, it was normal for the Immortal Gate; if you randomly surveyed ten people, maybe half of them wouldn¡¯t know Chen Mobai, the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but surely nine would know that the big star Meng Huang graduated from there.


    In some ways, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s name had become even more renowned among the public because of Meng Huang.


    So, the junior brothers and sisters sitting in the auditorium below were actually looking forward to Meng Huang¡¯s performance even more than they were to Chen Mobai¡¯s speech and all the other prior acts.


    And Meng Huang certainly did not disappoint them.


    She entered in exquisite attire, exuding a classical charm that brightened everyone¡¯s eyes.


    Her fluttering long hair was now fastened with a hairpin, and, with a gentle smile on her face and unusually ruddy cheeks, she stepped lightly into dance, descending like a nymph onto the center of the stage.


    Chen Mobai watched Meng Huang¡¯s beautiful dancing and listened to her melodious singing, and couldn¡¯t help but applaud.


    So beautiful!


    After the graduation ceremony, the students who were dispersing were still excitedly discussing the star senior sister, Meng Huang.


    Chen Mobai, however, just smiled wryly. After saying goodbye to Che Yucheng, he headed back to his wooden hut first.


    Meng Huang had a busy schedule. After the end of the graduation ceremony, she had to return to the artistic troupe.


    So she didn¡¯t want to waste her last night at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai could only gambler life to keep a gentleman company, and the two delayed a bit more on their way back.


    That night, Meng Huang, dressed in her performance attire, was brimming with an allure like never before.


    In the morning, as he saw her off, Chen Mobai suddenly felt reluctant to part.


    But both were very rational people.


    They clearly understood that if they were really to be together, they could potentially hinder each other¡¯s progress, so they both exercised restraint and said farewell at the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you know the next time I make a breakthrough.¡±


    Meng Huang said this, her face flushed as she pulled her small suitcase, turned, and left.


    ¡°If you happen to pass by Red Sandstone City, come and find me.¡±


    Chen Mobai called out to Meng Huang¡¯s graceful retreating figure. Although he was going to further his studies at Repairing Heaven Institute for the next five years, the preparation for higher studies wasn¡¯t as formal as attending school and was quite flexible.


    He just needed to report to the Daoist Academy at the beginning of the year, and when he wished to apply for graduation, he would present his accomplishments.


    Even if he spent two or three years away from the Repairing Heaven Institute, it wouldn¡¯t matter.


    Therefore, in the following period, Chen Mobai was likely to be cultivating in Red Sandstone City for a long time, occasionally visiting the Repairing Heaven Institute for a few days.


    Meng Huang, who was about to disappear from sight, obviously heard this remark too. She waved her hand without turning around, signaling that she understood.


    What a great senior sister!


    Chen Mobai also held Meng Huang in high regard.


    Their transaction, regardless of whether he could breakthrough to Golden Core Level Divine Consciousness or not, at least so far, had left him thoroughly satisfied with everything she had done.


    After Meng Huang left, Chen Mobai did not leave the Dance Tool Dao Academy immediately; he still had some academic points left to spend.


    And because they knew he was leaving, many Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Treasure Trove came to him with their ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± they had been saving for years, hoping he would appraise them all.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai did not refuse.


    After all, once he left the Daoist Academy, he would no longer be able to earn academic points. This was the perfect opportunity to acquire enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to reach Perfection in the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Although there were rules in the Daoist Academy that each person could only exchange for one year¡¯s worth, with the help of several good friends, Chen Mobai transferred academic points, using their quotas, he easily solved this problem.


    After appraising all the ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres,¡± Chen Mobai was about to pack his belongings and leave.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to explore the Red City Cave Heaven,¡± said Bian Jingchun as she walked in, having also invited Zhongli Tianyu and Zhuang Jialan.


    Chen Mobai, having not yet booked his ticket, followed them.


    It was somewhat embarrassing to admit that despite having been in the Dance Tool Dao Academy for ten years, he had never thoroughly explored the Red City Cave Heaven.


    He had been there when Little Red Sky had just opened, but that was solely to restore the Daoist Academy¡¯s glory. Plus, he only visited the Daoist Academy¡¯s booths and had never really toured this Immortal Gate-rated top five large cave city.


    As Chen Mobai followed Bian Jingchun and others through the city, he suddenly spotted a familiar place.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect this maid cafe to still be here.¡±


    In the past, he had sought guidance here from Yu Rulin, the dean of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, to compensate for the lifespan he had lost from consuming the Tree Fruit.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wander around on my own for a bit; I¡¯ll join up with you later.¡±


    With this thought, Chen Mobai became interested and told Bian Jingchun and the others before retracing the route he once took.


    Although many of the Scholarly Mansion¡¯s store booths had disappeared after the Red City Cave Heaven¡¯s millennial celebrations, some, like the maid cafe, remained due to excellent feedback.


    For instance, the cat cafe from the True Spiritual Academy reminded Chen Mobai of Hua Zijing.


    He wondered how she was faring after taking the civil service exam.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai arrived at an alley.


    It was here where he encountered a successor of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    After learning about the mystery of this lineage from Che Yucheng, he had always been apprehensive about the ¡°three calamities of Core Formation¡± mentioned by the girl with the sunglasses, fearing an unexpected mishap in his own cultivation.


    He took out the card he had drawn from his Storage Bag and slowly entered the alley.


    The Divine Machine Mansion¡¯s lineage had cultivated at Fulong Court in ancient times, and those who were sought out by them were all predestined to be hidden dragons.


    It was also for this reason that Chen Mobai¡¯s confidence in himself was increasingly bolstered.


    He felt that since obtaining the Turtle Treasure, he had escaped the fate of mediocrity and that even ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± might be possible for him in the future.

    However, while thinking this way, Chen Mobai remembered Shi Wanyu. Since she was able to stumble upon his opportunity and had her fortune told by The Divine Machine Mansion, perhaps she too had the chance to alter her ordinary destiny.


    Now that he was in the Red City Cave Heaven, why not check if she was still around?


    In her dorm, Shi Wanyu was packing up her belongings, ready to go home with a dim expression when her phone alerted her to a message. She weakly unlocked the screen and glanced at it without much interest.


    Then, her eyes lit up with unprecedented brightness!


    Chen Mobai: [Are you free? I¡¯ve just finished dealing with the graduation ceremony, and I was wondering if I might have the honor of inviting you to meet?]

 Chapter 806 - Chapter 806 Chapter 460 Untitled

    Chapter 806: Chapter 460 Untitled Chapter 806: Chapter 460 Untitled Shi Wanyu immediately replied with ¡°I¡¯m free¡± and dared not play coy.


    After receiving the message, Chen Mobai casually searched for nearby restaurants on his phone, aiming to choose one with a high ranking, only to find that the highest-rated one was actually that maid cafe.


    Since that place was also suitable for discussing matters, he went ahead and booked a private room.


    While waiting for Shi Wanyu, Chen Mobai took out his phone and looked up information about applying for postgraduate studies at the Repairing Heaven Institute online.


    With Fu Borong¡¯s help, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have to worry about the most troublesome part for students, which was submitting applications and waiting for admission notices, because he was invited to enroll.


    It was like the time during the entrance examinations in Red Sandstone City, when Chen Mobai had to fight his way through tough competitions to earn a spot in one of the Four Great Daoist Sects, while Qing Nu was invited by Jumang Academy and had her place secured in advance.


    Now, it was finally Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to enjoy this kind of treatment as well.


    However, he still had one concern, and that was whether Yan Bingxuan¡¯s application would be accepted by the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    In his heart, he both hoped she would pass and hoped she wouldn¡¯t, which was indeed a bit contradictory.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    Just at that moment, there was a knock at the door.


    Chen Mobai looked up to see a maid waitress leading Shi Wanyu in, the latter still radiantly beautiful.


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s face was innocent, dressed in a white long-sleeve blouse with a slightly open collar, a slender waist, and the hem of her skirt falling over her long, straight legs, accentuating them with a delicate belt. Her entire demeanor was fresh, elegant, and imbued with the youthful charm of a young girl.


    ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and greeted Shi Wanyu with a smile.


    ¡°Senior¡­¡±


    Although Shi Wanyu had mustered the courage to invite Chen Mobai, once they actually met, she was still somewhat at a loss for what to do next. After he spoke, she followed by saying the word, standing there, unsure of how to continue the conversation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s order food first.¡±


    Chen Mobai could see her predicament, so he said to the demure maid waitress standing at the door, who immediately respectfully brought over the menu, knelt on the ground, and handed it to them.


    This was the maid cafe¡¯s ordering ceremony. Chen Mobai was a bit surprised the first time he came, but now he was used to it.


    ¡°Do you have any preference for what to eat?¡±


    Chen Mobai opened the menu and asked Shi Wanyu, who indicated that anything was fine. He ordered a pot of black tea, a serving of potato beef stew, and a tiramisu cake, then passed the menu to her.


    After receiving it, Shi Wanyu tentatively ordered a coffee, a vegetable salad, and a chocolate pastry.


    Once the maid waitress left, only the two of them remained in the room.


    Seeing that they were about to fall into that awkward silence again, Chen Mobai chuckled and took out the sword bag that he had already retrieved from his storage bag.


    ¡°Your Sword Qi is very beautiful.¡±


    He took out the white stone and placed it on the table, commenting on the constantly flickering, multicolored Sword Qi.


    ¡°Is that so? When I chose the Streamer Rainbow Sword, it was mainly to complement the various colors of light during shooting. I seem to have some talent in this area, able to change the Sword Qi into many different colors.¡±


    After Chen Mobai started the conversation, Shi Wanyu gradually became less reserved and began to reveal her lively personality.


    ¡°Given that you were chosen by Principal Hao Cao of the Mountain and Sea Academy, you must naturally be an exceptional Sword Cultivation Genius. To be honest, I was taken aback when I first saw your white stone; I even thought you infused it with numerous Sword Qis. You should know, even I¡­¡±


    Seeing that Shi Wanyu truly didn¡¯t understand these matters, Chen Mobai explained to her about the white stone, Sword Qi, and infusion.


    ¡°I see. But I can only infuse one Sword Qi, and it¡¯s the only thing I¡¯m really proud of. It¡¯s just unfortunate that at Starlight Institute, we don¡¯t have a dedicated Sword Cultivator teacher. My training in Sword Qi from that point on was all self-taught, aimlessly fiddling around, not knowing if it was right.¡±


    Listening to Shi Wanyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai became quite curious and asked about Starlight Institute.


    It turned out that this university, like the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, specialized in a particular field, mainly excelling in various applications of light and analyzing the spectra of Elemental Energy.


    For example, the Dance Tool Dao Academy Myriad Treasures Cave¡¯s ¡°Fire Godlight¡± ¨C Starlight Institute had a complete spectrum for it, detailing how many types of Elemental Energy needed to be condensed through various steps to create it.


    In the Immortal Gates, it was regarded as the apex authority in this field.

    It was just unfortunate that within Bai Er Shi Fu, only a few students managed to achieve Foundation Establishment, and these individuals were the focus of the universities¡¯ attention and cultivation.


    When Shi Wanyu was first admitted, her grades were average, and she never displayed any extraordinary talents nor achieved Foundation Establishment, so she naturally did not attract the attention of the Starlight Institute.


    And when she was selected by Hao Cao and identified as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius, since there were no Sword Cultivator teachers of the Foundation Establishment level at Starlight Institute, she missed the last opportunity for Foundation Establishment in her final year.


    ¡°I see. Can¡¯t you transfer to another school?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt sorry for Shi Wanyu, sensing that with her talents, if she had had an outstanding Sword Cultivator teacher to guide her, she might have been able to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 807 - Chapter 807 Chapter 460 Untitled_2

    Chapter 807: Chapter 460 Untitled_2 Chapter 807: Chapter 460 Untitled_2 ¡°After all, there¡¯s only one year left, and I dare not take the risk. At least I can still get a diploma from Starlight Institute.¡±


    Shi Wanyu said with a rueful smile as the meals they ordered arrived.


    Chen Mobai poured himself a cup of black tea, took a gentle sip, and then asked, ¡°Have you tried Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Shi Wanyu shook her head. ¡°Students from our academy can only apply for one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings. The other three in my dorm have tried but all failed. And I don¡¯t think I am any better than them. Although I am already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, I have always been hesitant to make the decision because of my timid nature, which is why I¡¯ve dragged it out till now.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his understanding. However, as they were just friends, he didn¡¯t presume to take her pulse and check her spiritual power within.


    ¡°You should still try it, after all, if Foundation Establishment fails, you¡¯ll have to either get married or serve in the military. If you succeed, at least you can control your own destiny.¡±


    As they were friends after all, Chen Mobai still offered a word of advice. He then shared some of his own insights about Foundation Establishment, even revealing key points like the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    To this, Shi Wanyu seemed somewhat inattentive, as if her mind was elsewhere.


    Seeing her lower her head to drink her coffee, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but silently sigh.


    Indeed, the people from Bai Er Shi Fu have little ambition.


    It¡¯s no wonder that some well-known teachers are reluctant to go there. With this attitude, the quality of teachers and students will continue to decline, creating a vicious cycle. Even someone like Shi Wanyu, who could be considered a hidden gem, can¡¯t shine due to the environment and ends up being buried and assimilated.


    After finishing the discussion about White Stone and Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai asked Shi Wanyu about her plans after graduation.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet, but military service can be postponed for up to a year and a half. I plan to work and save money. With a loan maybe I could afford Spirit Ascension Powder. Together with the Solidifying Qi Liquid that I can get from the academy, I could gather the two Trithings for Foundation Establishment and give it one last try before enlisting.¡±


    Shi Wanyu was very uncertain about her future. She had no confidence in her ability to Establish Foundation but didn¡¯t want to serve in the military either.


    So, her whole heart was set on having a child.


    At this thought, she lifted her head to meet Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, and her cheeks turned crimson in an instant; she shyly and quickly lowered her head again.


    Chen Mobai was puzzled by her reaction but did not dwell on it. He then went on to speak about the Critical Edge method, a prime Foundation Establishment technique.


    Shi Wanyu, having never heard of it, brightened at the mention of such a mystical method.


    But upon hearing that even the talents from the Four Great Daoist Sects might not be able to master it, her spirits sank once more.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re going to apply for a delay in military service, why not use this time to give cultivation a try? Who knows, you might succeed.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s comforting words, Shi Wanyu gave a slight nod of agreement.


    By now, they had finished their meal. While the food tasted good, the portions were a bit small.


    ¡°Let¡¯s order some more.¡±


    Chen Mobai was about to stand up to call for a waiter. The private room was equipped with soundproofing and vibration-dampening restrictions, so unless the door was opened from the inside, those outside couldn¡¯t hear anything.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and order,¡± Shi Wanyu suddenly spoke up. ¡°I want to try some of the dishes you ordered just now. Do you want to try mine too? The coffee is pretty good.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but then politely nodded, indicating it was fine.


    With excitement, Shi Wanyu got up and walked toward the door. Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, startling her so much that her entire delicate body trembled.


    ¡°Remember, this time I invited you, so don¡¯t secretly go out and settle the bill. That would put me in an awkward position.¡±


    ¡°Haha¡­ you caught me¡­¡±


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s voice trembled slightly, and she pretended to be embarrassed as she quickly opened the door to the private room.


    Chen Mobai watched her leave and didn¡¯t think much of it.


    When he had previously asked Yan Bingxuan out to eat grilled fish, she often secretly paid the bill. This time, noticing something odd in Shi Wanyu¡¯s gaze, he suddenly thought of this and couldn¡¯t help but speak up first as a precaution.


    Unexpectedly, his guess was spot on.


    Chen Mobai shook his head, lamenting the lack of sincerity between people in his heart.


    After waiting for a while, the sound of knocking came through. The sound from outside the private room¡¯s restrictions could be transmitted inside.


    Chen Mobai used the method he had been taught when he booked the room to control the restrictions. Sitting in his seat, the door automatically opened.


    Shi Wanyu walked in with a pure face blushing faintly. It seemed she really did feel guilty about paying the bill.


    Chen Mobai, an old hand at life, could tell at a glance that she was a bit nervous inside, but he sighed inwardly and didn¡¯t speak again to avoid upsetting her already sensitive emotions.


    ¡°Take a seat.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to the bright, hesitant girl standing at the door, still smiling.


    It had to be said; Shi Wanyu¡¯s looks were outstanding, especially because she knew her charm well and dressed in a way that flattered her figure perfectly.


    Her legs were slender, and the pair of white, slightly translucent stockings wrapped around them made her skin look smooth and translucent, enhancing the fluid lines. As she walked in wearing little leather shoes, it was hard not to appreciate her beauty.


    Not long after Shi Wanyu took her seat nervously, someone knocked on the door and brought in the newly ordered coffee and cake.


    ¡°Senior, this coffee tastes great, give it a try.¡±


    Shi Wanyu picked up her newly ordered tea, smiling as she spoke. Chen Mobai also graciously picked up the coffee in front of him, clinked it with hers, and took a delicate sip.


    The taste was indeed good, and after one sip, he took another.


    In no time at all, he had finished the entire cup.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to eat the chocolate crisp and prepare to end the meeting with Shi Wanyu and leave, an indescribable strange feeling came over him.


    His gaze uncontrollably fell on the slender legs of the girl sitting in front of him, crossed neatly. His keen vision allowed him to see all the details of the white stockings, presenting an irresistible temptation that suddenly made him want to reach out and touch the sleek curves of these slim, fluid legs.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s self-control was still good, and feeling that something was amiss, he wanted to get up.


    But at that moment, a fierce blaze ignited in his heart, and then he fell unconscious.


    He didn¡¯t know how long had passed when Chen Mobai woke up from his faint.


    Feeling an indescribable headache, he struggled to his feet, only to find himself still in the maid cafe¡¯s private room, but now lying on the sofa.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been set up! Could she be from the Ascension Sect?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Since he had never encountered danger within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai instinctively lost that vigilant mentality he had in the Tianhe Realm.


    Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai immediately closed his eyes to meditate.


    But he found no obstacles in circulating his power; both his spiritual power and divine sense were as clear as ever.


    He then pulled out his phone to call Che Yucheng and talk about the incident, but at that moment, he suddenly noticed something strange.


    Chen Mobai got up from the sofa and went to the nearby trash can. There, he saw some tissues stained with fresh blood and a pair of torn, removed white stockings.

 Chapter 808 - Chapter 808 Chapter 461 The Truth

    Chapter 808: Chapter 461 The Truth Chapter 808: Chapter 461 The Truth ¡°How is it you?¡±


    Seeing Chen Chun, Chen Mobai¡¯s brows knitted slightly.


    At this moment, he thought back to the first time he encountered the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion. Perhaps it was at that time that today¡¯s outcome had been predetermined.


    ¡°Would you like to have your fortune told? Today, we have a connection,¡± Chen Chun asked again without directly answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    ¡°What¡¯s the deal with Shi Wanyu? Since you¡¯re here, she must be related to you,¡± Chen Mobai had also calmed down by now, as after all, as a man, he hadn¡¯t suffered any losses from the situation.


    But his heart was still somewhat angry. Considering his formidable reputation in the Eastern Wilderness, he had never expected to capsize in such a place today due to a moment¡¯s carelessness.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t waiting for you in that alley initially.¡±


    Chen Chun calmly uttered a sentence that made Chen Mobai look stunned.


    ¡°Were you waiting for her?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t thought he had stumbled upon the opportunity meant for Shi Wanyu. With this thought, he felt somewhat more balanced, feeling that the loss wasn¡¯t so bad after all.


    ¡°It might not necessarily have been her; it could have been the two of you.¡±


    Chen Chun suddenly said something else that left Chen Mobai completely baffled.


    ¡°My lineage requires the crossing of fated individuals in training. She wanted a child from you, and perhaps your simultaneous arrival before me was to ensure this child would be brought into the world.¡±


    Chen Chun began to bluff Chen Mobai, to keep him from pondering too much over Shi Wanyu¡¯s affairs.


    ¡°A child? Heh, so it was you who orchestrated this. I suppose the drug that Shi Wanyu gave me was also from you. However, I practice a secret technique and my Yuan Yang is locked, even if such a thing occurred, there would simply be no offspring,¡± Chen Mobai laughed coldly after hearing this, but he himself hadn¡¯t expected the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret to be so useful repeatedly.


    ¡°Lock Yang Secret Technique!¡±


    Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared for the first time on Chen Chun¡¯s expressionless face.


    She pulled a card from her pocket, looked at it carefully, and her brows knitted tightly.


    It was indeed true.


    Yet as she calculated with her divine machine, she found a sliver of life within the deathly stillness, a never-before-seen divination that baffled her.


    However, this would seemingly be more advantageous for her.


    If Shi Wanyu couldn¡¯t bear a child, she would turn to attempt Foundation Establishment. This was an excellent opportunity not to be missed.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s so, our fates today end here, farewell.¡±


    Chen Chun put the card back into her pocket and turned to leave, but a blazing light flickered in front of her, with Chen Mobai¡¯s face sternly blocking her.


    ¡°Although The Divine Machine Mansion stands aloof from worldly affairs, if I were to report today¡¯s events, I fear even you would have trouble with the influence of the Dance Tool Dao Academy,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Chun showed a playful look upon hearing these words. This was the first time someone had dared to threaten her since she debuted.


    ¡°You can¡¯t keep me here.¡±


    As Chen Chun spoke, her figure gradually retreated. A vast shadow poured out from under the table, turning into a dark blanket that looked about to envelop and carry her away.


    Sword Sound!


    A muffled yet loud sword sound vibrated, a flash of Purple Lightning lit up within Chen Mobai¡¯s right sleeve, and a formless but terrifying Sword Qi surged out, instantly sealing the Yin Yang and Five Elements Elemental Energy of this private room.


    The half-disappeared body of Chen Chun was suddenly stuck in the dark shadow, her exposed right eye was deep and black, with a strange glimmer staring fixedly at the bloom of Purple Lightning from his sleeve.


    Fourth Grade Superior, Purple Electric Sword!


    ¡°Not even The Three Great Halls of Xianmen¡¯s Hall Masters would dare convict my The Divine Machine Mansion,¡± Chen Chun eventually said after a moment of silence.


    Her dark and gloomy pupils bore a calm and indifferent look that caused Chen Mobai to frown.


    ¡°If The Three Great Halls cannot convict you, then let¡¯s have the two ancestors step in. Above our Dance Tool Dao Academy, there¡¯s Ancestor Baiguang,¡± Chen Mobai simply refused to believe that The Divine Machine Mansion, even as an Antiquity Daoist System, could suppress the Double Saints of the Immortal Gate!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Chun¡¯s face did indeed change.


    But in her eyes emerged another mysterious look that surprised Chen Mobai; it was as if she had heard something that she couldn¡¯t hold back.


    ¡°What do you have in mind?¡±


    In the end, Chen Chun still conceded first with furrowed brows, as if the name of Ancestor Baiguang truly did frighten her.


    ¡°Where is Shi Wanyu?¡±


    Chen Mobai had already tried calling her but was rejected. He had intended to use the official power of the Immortal Gate, but now, with Chen Chun, a person in the know, it was even more direct.


    ¡°I can tell you, but what do you plan to do about her?¡±


    Chen Chun asked in return, causing Chen Mobai to be stunned on the spot.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Indeed, even if he saw Shi Wanyu, then what? After such an incident, as a man, could he really hold her accountable?


    Chen Mobai still had some gentlemanly grace, and just thinking about facing Shi Wanyu caused him a headache.


    The two were just ordinary friends after all, greeting each other during holidays, chatting casually. Now, with such an unexpected development, Chen Mobai felt at a loss.


    ¡°This¡­ I have to ask, right?¡±


    Now annoyed, Chen Mobai felt he had been schemed against and lost something precious. If he didn¡¯t inquire, wouldn¡¯t it seem like he was a person who took things too lightly?

 Chapter 809 - Chapter 809 Chapter 461 The Truth_2

    Chapter 809: Chapter 461 The Truth_2 Chapter 809: Chapter 461 The Truth_2 ¡°Release the restriction on the Purple Electric Sword, and I¡¯ll take you to find her.¡±


    Chen Chun spoke again, yet at this time, Chen Mobai seemed rather at a loss.


    After a prolonged silence, he sighed, took the Purple Electric Sword back, and then sat down on the chair.


    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just consider it an unpleasant memory. My relationship with her was always impossible.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai came to terms with the situation, feeling that it was best for both of them to pretend nothing had happened.


    From now on, the two of them should just treat each other as friends who had lost contact.


    Chen Chun felt the Sword Qi that had restricted her escape skill dissipate; her gaze returned to its original indifferent state, but as she left, she hesitated.


    ¡°Since we¡¯ve met, it must be fate. I¡¯ll help you with the divination of that last hexagram. The three tribulations of your Core Formation now seem mostly dissipated, with more than a thirty to forty percent chance of succeeding on your first attempt.¡±


    Chen Mobai was brought back to reality at this, realizing that compared to Teacher Wanyu, this was indeed the most important matter for him.


    As long as he could achieve Core Formation and add the blessing of the Longevity Scripture, he could live up to six hundred years.


    In such a lengthy span of time, with the resources of two realms at his disposal, he even dared to aspire for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± or even higher, to Ascend to become Immortals.


    The bright and beautiful Teacher Wanyu, although she left an indelible mark on his life, was merely a unique landscape along the journey compared to his long lifespan.


    With the Turtle Treasure in his possession, he was determined to see the peak scenery of Immortal Cultivation.


    And all of this hinged on his successful Core Formation.


    ¡°I feel I have mostly resolved the three tribulations of Core Formation. I¡¯m not sure where I¡¯m still lacking. Please enlighten me once more.¡±


    After putting away the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai picked up the pot of black tea Teacher Wanyu had left unfinished on the table and poured a cup for Chen Chun; the latter, however, waved her hand in refusal.


    ¡°Your Spiritual Power hasn¡¯t reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Completion, so that is one deficiency. However, your Pure Yang Spiritual Power is quite pure. Once the Pure Yang Body is fully achieved, it shouldn¡¯t be a big issue.¡±


    ¡°Although you have supplemented the tribulation of lifespan, the external Spiritual Water you¡¯ve replenished into your container has not perfectly merged with the vital essence naturally contained within you. While this won¡¯t affect your Core Formation, it is still best to deal with it soon. The higher your cultivation level, the more apparent this flaw will become.¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled and promptly stood up to seek further advice on how to rectify this issue.


    ¡°Just strengthen your body with exercise. It would be best to practice a Body Forging Technique. The process of Body Forging is to refine out life¡¯s impurities. Once you reach Rank-3, this issue should be resolved.¡±


    Chen Chun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod repeatedly, his heart already set on the Longevity Dao Body of the Divine Wood Sect.


    This Body Refining Technique wasn¡¯t particularly strong in Magic Duels; its main purpose was to enhance one¡¯s physique and vital essence. The key point is that it didn¡¯t require any talent or comprehension, only a sufficient amount of Longevity Tree Sap to reach Perfection.


    It was extremely suitable for someone like Chen Mobai with ordinary talent.


    ¡°The weakest aspect is still the tribulation regarding Suppressing Spiritual Sense. Last time, there seemed to be no hope, but now there¡¯s a glimmer of light. Do you have a Magic Artifact for suppressing Divine Sense?¡±


    Lacking deep cultivation, Chen Chun could only rely on her eyesight and hexagram analysis without probing Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sea directly.


    ¡°The Declaration Master is truly a master. My graduation project was selected by the president as number one in our class. He also helped me refine an embryo for my Lifespan Artifact, its main function is to enhance Divine Sense and suppression in the Purple Palace.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t specify the details about the Morning Bell, but since he was asking for advice, he nodded, mentioning that he had such an artifact and conveniently brought up Master Chengxuan to show off his background as the prominent student highly valued by the Master of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Enhance your Divine Sense a bit more. Compared to the solid foundation of your Pure Yang Spiritual Power, you are much weaker in this area. If you fail your Core Formation, it will definitely be because you got stuck at this tribulation.¡±


    After saying these things, Chen Chun¡¯s figure gradually vanished into the shadows, and Chen Mobai called out a couple of times, wanting to ask specifically how to enhance Divine Sense, but he received no further response.


    At this time, knocking sounds resonated from outside again.


    Chen Mobai activated the Restriction and knew it was the maid waitress; it was already late at night, past the originally scheduled time.


    Although the inn offered all-night packages, Chen Mobai renewed his stay through the door.


    He still had some matters he cared about that needed investigating.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to send a message to Bian Jingchun and the others, saying he had run into a friend and wouldn¡¯t be joining them tonight.


    After handling these matters, Chen Mobai approached the cup of coffee he had drunk earlier.


    He never expected that he would stumble over this again.


    Last time, it was that guy Kong Feichen who had plotted against him this way, and now Shi Wanyu had drugged him; this was a great humiliation for him, who had navigated the harsh environment of the Eastern Wilderness with ease.


    Although the coffee had been finished, there were still some dry gray stains on the cup¡¯s wall. Chen Mobai inspected them, but as he really didn¡¯t understand pharmacology, he could only take the cup with him in the end.


    Then his divine sense surged forth, using the Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method he had obtained from the Talent Tree, he meticulously scanned every inch of the private room inside and out.


    Under the divine sense, every minute trace revealed itself fully in his mind.


    He noticed some damp traces on the cushions of the sofa backrest that hadn¡¯t dried completely, a few long black hairs in the crevices of the sofa, and even found white nylon fibers torn from stockings under the sofa¡­


    In the end, Chen Mobai sighed as he cleaned up all these traces, even packing away the contents of the trash can into his storage bag.


    When leaving the private room, Chen Mobai silently vowed that he would only be fooled once.


    He would never make the same mistake again.


    He was the last guest, and shortly after he left, the maid cafe closed for the night.


    Chen Mobai waited for a while to make sure no one was around, then returned to the shop and on his own began to review the surveillance footage inside the maid cafe.


    However, he couldn¡¯t see when Shi Wanyu had tampered with the coffee.


    Instead, he saw her at the end, head lowered, her bare legs, which were even whiter and more slender without the stockings, hurriedly exiting.


    Chen Mobai also noticed that her temples were still damp and that she was frowning slightly as she walked, seemingly with some difficulty.


    After copying all the content related to himself and Shi Wanyu, Chen Mobai deleted this part from the store¡¯s memory, then quietly left the place.


    Because this matter was unsuitable for public exposure, Chen Mobai did not dare send the coffee cup to a formal institution for testing, lest they identify it as some secret medicine from the Antiquity Daoist System, which could potentially implicate Shi Wanyu.


    But after giving it some thought, there was only one person in his circle of friends he deemed trustworthy¨CQing Nu.


    However, Chen Mobai still had some sense and wouldn¡¯t let her know about this matter.


    He called Wang Xingyu, but the latter was only adept at alchemy, and to analyze what kind of spiritual water potion it was and the specific ingredients contained, he would need to use the equipment of the Daoist Academy.


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t dare to let him test it, and after much thought, he came up with a very good candidate.


    When Kong Feichen gave him the Devouring Heaven Serpent, he also left a forum web address, saying if there were any issues, he could leave a message there to find him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Back when Kong Feichen was merely practicing Qi Cultivation, he was able to refine a potion that plotted against Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment practitioner. He was absolutely a genius in this field, akin to Qing Nu in terms of alchemy.


    After using Turtle Treasure as a proxy, Chen Mobai switched to his alternate account Blue Emperor to log into the forum, then posted a message:


    [I am looking for Flying Bird.]


    It seemed there was a dedicated person handling the forum, as it didn¡¯t take long for a private message to arrive, providing him with a link.


    Chen Mobai clicked on it, and to his surprise, it was a chat interface.


    About half an hour later, someone with a flying bird avatar appeared.


    Kong Feichen: [Who is this?]

 Chapter 810 - Chapter 810 Chapter 462 Selling the House

    Chapter 810: Chapter 462: Selling the House Chapter 810: Chapter 462: Selling the House [Nurturing serpent people across a thousand mountains and rivers.]


    Chen Mobai sent over a line of text, and Kong Feichen understood it in an instant.


    The phrase ¡°a thousand mountains and rivers¡± is a poetic name for Jumang Academy, where Kong Feichen had entrusted the Devouring Heaven Serpent, which housed a part of Yang Jing¡¯s divided spirit, to him.


    Kong Feichen: [Is something the matter?]


    Chen Mobai: [I have a friend who was cheated by an Immortal a few days ago. He was supposed to be at the bar, relaxing, but someone drugged and knocked him out. When he woke up, valuable items on him were gone. I wanted to ask if there¡¯s any medicine that can put a Foundation Establishment Practitioner into an unconscious state without any resistance?]


    Friend?


    Seeing this, Kong Feichen probably understood, but considering the future reliance on this guy, he decided not to expose him.


    Kong Feichen: [There are plenty of such medicines. However, within the Immortal Gate, usually only physicians can obtain and configure them. If you want me to list them, I can name over a hundred.]


    As the top-ranking newcomer in the Imperial Medical Academy, Kong Feichen¡¯s talent in pharmacology was praised by all. Although resources in the Immortal Gate were scarce, the system was well-developed, and the number of medicines effective for Foundation Establishment was countless.


    Chen Mobai: [My friend took the cup he drank from and it still has some dried coffee stains on it. Is it possible to analyze the specific drug components from these remains?]


    ¡°Bars serve coffee too?¡± Kong Feichen thought to himself, but on the chat interface he only typed the latter part: [That is possible. However, the main camp of the Ascension Sect is not on Di Yuan Star, so it might be quite troublesome if you want to deliver your things to me.]


    Chen Mobai: [How troublesome?]


    Kong Feichen: [I can¡¯t come myself, but I will have the sect¡¯s contacts on Di Yuan Star collect the item, which means it will change hands several times.]


    At this point, Chen Mobai hesitated.


    After all, as the rightful future successor of the Immortal Gate, having substantial contact with the Ascension Sect and being found out could result in a huge stain on his reputation.


    Chen Mobai: [Can¡¯t you just turn into a bird and come over again?]


    Kong Feichen: [That works, but I¡¯m quite tied up recently. You¡¯ll need to wait for a while.]


    Chen Mobai: [That¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not in a hurry.]


    Kong Feichen: [Isn¡¯t it your friend¡¯s issue?]


    Chen Mobai: [Cough cough, my friend entrusted me with the matter, so it¡¯s my business now. I¡¯m just someone who values loyalty.]


    Kong Feichen: [Heh.]


    ¡­


    Originally planning to stay in Red City Cave Heaven for a while longer, Chen Mobai really couldn¡¯t stay there any longer after this incident.


    The key issue was that he couldn¡¯t share this unfavorable experience with others and had to suppress the discomfort in his heart.


    The next day, after meeting with Bian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu, and others, he hastily had a meal and booked a flight ticket back to Red Sandstone City.


    While he was dealing with this year¡¯s business for the Sky Talisman Factory and the Puppet Factory back in his hometown, another piece of good news arrived: Yan Bingxuan had passed the preliminary qualifications for studying at the Patching Heaven Institute.


    What followed was the formal examination, which was the most difficult part. After all, the majority of the practitioners from the Immortal Gate would aim for the Four Great Daoist Sects before graduation.


    Aside from someone like Chen Mobai, who was directly invited for recruitment, for the other Foundation Establishment Practitioners, it was as challenging as the proverbial single-log bridge crossed by a thousand soldiers.


    For this reason, Yan Bingxuan didn¡¯t return home this year and, having passed the preliminary qualifications, stayed at the Nature Studies Academy to study hard in hopes of passing the examination in one go.


    This was quite a regret for Chen Mobai as well.


    However, since everyone from his cohort had graduated this year, his return to Red Sandstone City meant that he nearly had dinner engagements every day, so he was not lonely.


    Many of these were farewell parties combined with weddings. For instance, after having a meal with Lu Hongsheng, he was set to serve in the military at the beginning of the next year.


    Among their cohort, including the most recent addition, Yan Bingxuan, there were only seven who had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.


    However, this was quite good compared to previous years.


    To know, some years didn¡¯t even see a single person succeed.


    Chen Mobai said farewell to many, but Shi Jingjing¡¯s decision to enlist in the military service took him by surprise.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to get married and have kids?¡±


    ¡°I feel I am capable of achieving Foundation Establishment. It¡¯s just that I was too playful before and didn¡¯t focus enough.¡±


    Shi Jingjing did indeed have considerable talent, and her father was a True Cultivator at the level of Foundation Establishment. Being widely experienced, she was somewhat unwilling to settle for this way of life.


    ¡°Then I wish you success in your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered some pleasant words. Today, they were at Immortal Gate¡¯s High School No. 5 to film an episode of a campus interview series featuring returning graduates.


    Because during their time, Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan, Cao Yaling, and Shi Yuanqing¨Cfour Foundation Establishment Practitioners¨Cemerged, the school achieved an unprecedented record since its establishment. Therefore, the Education Department of Red Sandstone City wanted to film a feature for publicity.

    Chen Mobai, who always had a good relationship with the officials of Red Sandstone City and also felt affectionate towards the high school, gladly accepted the invitation while he still had some time.


    Apart from Yan Bingxuan, who was preparing for postgraduate studies, nearly everyone else attended.


    Chen Mobai met Song Zheng, who he hadn¡¯t seen for a long time. Compared to his youthful arrogance, he now appeared somewhat melancholic.


    However, he was accompanied by his pregnant wife, Mo Simin.


    Both worked at the Heavenly Book Academy. After many years of being together, they came to understand each other. In the last two years, with Mo Simin taking the initiative to reach out, Song Zheng, who failed in his Foundation Establishment, was healed by her. Although they hadn¡¯t held a wedding banquet yet, they had registered their marriage that year and were already husband and wife.

 Chapter 811 - Chapter 811 Chapter 462 Selling the House_2

    Chapter 811: Chapter 462: Selling the House_2 Chapter 811: Chapter 462: Selling the House_2 Chen Mobai walked over and spoke a couple of sentences with the couple. Song Zheng would enlist in the military in the second half of next year, but since his wife was pregnant, he could postpone until after the birth of their child.


    ¡°Now that I think about it, when I was young, I seemed to be overly confident in myself,¡±


    Song Zheng said this to Chen Mobai, recalling how back in his senior year of high school, he had aspirations to attend the Four Great Daoist Academies.


    ¡°It was just bad luck, talent and innate abilities considered, you are not any less than the rest of us.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke in consolation, and indeed, it was the truth. Song Zheng¡¯s Spiritual Root and perception were both top-notch.


    Among his peers, not counting himself as an outlier, the remaining three true cultivators who had achieved Foundation Establishment¨CShi Yuanqing and Cao Yaling¨Chad been instructed by Shi Qujin, which meant they were from reputed families with high starting points and diligent efforts.


    As for Yan Bingxuan, her status elevated with Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s successful Core Formation, allowing her to obtain Snow Spirit Water. Additionally, with the Water Mist Ice Crystals that Chen Mobai had obtained from the Snow-blowing Palace, she was able to successfully establish her foundation.


    Song Zheng was not inferior to these three, but in the absence of the Foundation Establishment Trithings, he still failed.


    ¡°Thanks for the comforting words.¡±


    Song Zheng said with a wry smile as the campus interview began.


    After filming this program, Chen Mobai announced his retreat, no longer participating in any banquets.


    He secluded himself in his puppet factory, where the Vermillion Fruit Tree he had planted in the past had bloomed and bore fruit, but it would not be until next year that the fruit would ripen and could be harvested.


    However, the fruit was only rank-1, which was no longer of any use to him. Instead, it could serve as a treat for his parents, family, and friends.


    If consumed by Qi Practitioners as fruit, it could invigorate the blood, strengthening and conditioning the body.


    After packaging all of the talisman paper produced by the puppet factory this year, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    During the time he was away, the Beiyuan Fang Market had been established. The market at Wuliushan had not been closed down, so the number of people here was still not large.


    With the plans already laid out in advance, the Divine Wood Sect decided not to continue developing Northern Abyss City after establishing the Beiyuan Fang Market. After all, it would be a waste to have a city if there weren¡¯t enough cultivators to inhabit it; ensuring the market¡¯s operation came first.


    Of course, another key reason was due to Nanxuan Jing¡¯s establishment of the Treasure Color Market. Because of the allure of Foundation Building Pills, it had attracted the most elite among Rock Country¡¯s Qi Practitioners of the Ninth Layer to settle there.


    And these individuals were the wealthiest within the Qi Cultivation level. Lower-tier cultivators wishing to earn spiritual currency had to attach themselves to them or even work for them. As a result, in just two short months, nearly half of Rock Country¡¯s Loose Cultivators heeded the call and made their way to the Treasure Color Market.


    The Nanxuan Sect¡¯s reputation skyrocketed overnight.


    Concerned about this, Zhou Wangshen and others felt some urgency, with some even suggesting that the Sect should produce Foundation Building Pills too, to attract Loose Cultivators here.


    But the decision was still Chen Mobai¡¯s to make and after some thought, he shook his head.


    The Divine Wood Sect had suffered numerous sacrifices in the continuous wars over the recent years. The batch of Foundation Building Pills needed to first provide compensation, then there were the true disciples who had made notable achievements on the battlefield eagerly waiting. How could they simply be put on the market to compete in business?


    Doing so would undoubtedly tarnish Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation within the influence of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, if we continue this way, our Beiyuan Fang Market will never develop. If the market can¡¯t take off, then we can forget about the future Beiyuan Immortal City.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen too could not help but look troubled. The cultivators from Wuliushan market were mainly Foundation Establishment families from Rock Country who had come to Beiyuan Fang Market due to societal pressures.


    But since Chen Mobai had ordered that storefronts couldn¡¯t conduct sales, these cultivator families had their grievances.


    Some even secretly dispatched parts of their family to the Nanxuan Sect to set up business and claim spots in the market.


    And the Loose Cultivators, especially those at the peak of Qi Cultivation, had all run off to the Treasure Color Market. After all, the temptation of a Foundation Building Pill was simply too great for them.


    Even though most of them knew they lacked the financial power to compete in the auctions, who could say they wouldn¡¯t be lucky enough to snatch one outside the market!


    Harboring such hopes, even Loose Cultivators from neighboring countries of Rock Country made their way there upon hearing the news.


    The Nanxuan Sect, with the Treasure Color Market, became famous across the vast Eastern Wilderness in a short period of time.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect were of course in a hurry to act, employing various overt and covert methods. However, all were thwarted by the Nanxuan Sect, even backfiring to their detriment.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai had the Formless Puppets stationed there and was already aware of these developments.


    Other than being busy with graduation, he had been thinking of solutions. After consulting some successful business graduates from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy at the Immortal Gate, he had an idea.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°We may not be able to offer Foundation Building Pills for the time being, but we can sell something else that¡¯s even more tempting.¡±


    As Chen Mobai said this, everyone present was perplexed, wondering what could possibly be more enticing to Loose Cultivators than Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Why are cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness so keen on advancing their realms? It¡¯s because they lack a sense of security.¡±


    ¡°They fear becoming a corpse at any moment, their lifetime¡¯s accumulation falling into enemy hands.¡±


    ¡°If we can sell them safety, giving them confidence that they will not become spoils of war for others, then I think they¡¯d be willing to spend all they have or even go into debt to purchase it.¡±

 Chapter 812 - Chapter 812 Chapter 462 Selling the House_3

    Chapter 812: Chapter 462: Selling the House_3 Chapter 812: Chapter 462: Selling the House_3 These words, though from a very unique perspective, were basically understood by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners present, and they all felt they made a lot of sense.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, how can we sell this sense of security?¡±


    Zhou Wangshen immediately followed up with a question, eager to know the answer.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite simple. The Cave Dwellings sold by our Divine Wood Sect in Northern Abyss City are the embodiment of security. We can guarantee, in the name of the Sect, that even if they offend a Golden Core Cultivator, they will remain safe and unthreatened within these Cave Dwellings.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s words were numerous, the core idea boiled down to two words¡­ sell houses!


    This sense of security was the special value he attached to the Beiyuan City Cave Mansions and was also guaranteed by the name of the Divine Wood Sect!


    Unless the Divine Wood Sect is annihilated, as long as cultivators stay within their own homes in the Beiyuan City Cave Mansion, they will receive the Sect¡¯s absolute protection from the highest Golden Core level to the lowest Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation levels.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, in that case, if the cultivators buy the Cave Dwellings and then pass them on to their children, wouldn¡¯t our Divine Wood Sect have to protect them forever? Wouldn¡¯t that be too much of a loss for us? And the two venerable ancestors might not agree to it,¡±


    Yue Zutao pointed out two issues, briefly expressing his opinion.


    ¡°That¡¯s a proposal I¡¯ll put into writing and submit to the Sect later. Moreover, I plan to set a time limit on the property rights of the Cave Dwellings. They will not be permanent. Once the time limit expires, the Cave Dwellings will automatically revert back to the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already thought of a whole set of methods to develop the Northern Abyss City¡¯s Fang Market, focusing on the Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings excavated along North Abyss Mountain.


    A Rank-1 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, one thousand Spirit Stones, property rights for sixty years.


    A Rank-2 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, ten thousand Spirit Stones, property rights for one hundred and twenty years.


    A Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, not for sale for the time being, reserved for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s own use.


    Even in the Eastern Wilderness, this price was high, and moreover, the price wasn¡¯t for permanent residence rights. However, with the added security of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s protection, Yue Zutao and others actually felt that it was sold a bit cheap.


    After all, within the period of property rights, as long as a cultivator purchases it, they can be assured of safety in their own Cave Dwelling under the protection of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Junior Brother, there¡¯s another issue. What if someone, relying on our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s protection, goes on a rampage killing other cultivators and then runs back? What then?¡±


    Yue Zutao spoke up again, posing the most crucial question.


    Chen Mobai gave a slight smile and revealed his solution.


    He set a prerequisite condition for purchasing a Cave Dwelling.


    That is, those who had been Rogue Cultivators could not purchase.


    But the Divine Wood Sect did not require the homebuyers to verify with a Dao Heart oath that they had never been Rogue Cultivators. They just needed to write this statement in the contract for the purchase of the Cave Dwelling and sign their name.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, doesn¡¯t this seem superfluous?¡±


    Yue Zutao and the others felt bewildered when they heard this rule.


    For Cultivators, as long as it is not a Dao Heart oath, it can be reneged upon.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    What¡¯s the point of signing a contract? Those with thick skins might sign with their front foot and act with their back foot.


    ¡°Senior Brother, everything is interlinked and no link can be missing. This is a prerequisite condition for the purchase. If this is not met, then naturally, the contract for the Cave Dwelling is not valid.¡±


    If in the future, killings are brought about by someone having been a Rogue Cultivator, and after verification by the Divine Wood Sect, it can be used as a reason to revoke the purchase contract for the Cave Dwelling.


    Since the sale would not be established, the Divine Wood Sect would have no obligation to protect them any further.


    After listening to this, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with admiration on their faces.

 Chapter 813 - Chapter 813 Chapter 463 Auctioning the Foundation Building

    Chapter 813: Chapter 463: Auctioning the Foundation Building Pill Chapter 813: Chapter 463: Auctioning the Foundation Building Pill ¡°Master, this is this year¡¯s revenue.¡±


    In Beiyuan Fang Market, Liu Wenbo who had rushed over handed a big bag of Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai.


    This year, due to the addition of two more shops at the Snow-blowing Palace and owing to the war, Spirit Talismans were used on a large scale, thus totaling an income of 500 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    Plus the harvest of Fire Spirit Rice from Little Nan Mountain across two seasons, this year Chen Mobai had an income of 800 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, almost catching up with his earnings from the battlefield this time.


    Indeed, Rogue Cultivators can only get rich in the short term, while doing business is the way to a long-lasting wealth.


    After praising his eldest disciple, Chen Mobai took stock of his own wealth.


    24 top-grade Spirit Stones, 1,400 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, and 36,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.


    The top-grade Spirit Stones mainly came from the reward given by Elder Fu and the loot from killing two from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, along with his own savings.


    Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones were the income from selling Spirit Rice and the revenue from the Little Nan Mountain Shop over the years, and after deducting the consumption for cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body, this much was still left.


    The low-grade Spirit Stones were looted from the Storage Bags of a few enemies at the Shake Mountain Peak. As for those elixirs and ores that he didn¡¯t need, he had Luo Yixuan sell them off at the Willow Mountain Fang Market, amounting to this number.


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai now found himself astonishingly wealthy, equaling nearly half a million if everything were converted into low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Moreover, after taking down Shake Mountain Peak, he could also expand his Little Nan Mountain Shop into Rock Country and Sky Country, which means next year¡¯s income could be even higher.


    A rough estimate suggests that next year, from farming and the shops combined, he might make a profit of one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Having owned Turtle Treasure for many years, Chen Mobai finally had some achievements to show, firmly establishing himself as a capable trade merchant across two realms.


    Now he had another dilemma.


    How should he spend these Spirit Stones?


    Although the Eastern Wilderness was considered resource-rich, many precious items could not be bought simply with Spirit Stones.


    Among the Seven Great Factions of the East Desolate, at most, they would sell Rank-2 Spiritual Objects. Take the Divine Wood Sect as an example, Green Wood Evil or Rank-3 Spirit Talisman elixirs and the like would only be put on the shelves at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion after Chu Zuoshu or the two Elders had made a request.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, aside from Green Wood Evil, only those Thousand-Year Medicine Herbs were of use to Chen Mobai.


    And these Spiritual Medicines were such treasures that no matter how many Spirit Stones were offered, they would not be sold. They would only be used when Meng Hong achieved Core Formation or when the two Elders needed them for alchemy.


    However, after offering the alchemy recipe for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, the two Elders had already promised to use all resources at their disposal to help Chen Mobai with his Core Formation, so these Thousand-Year Herbs no longer held any appeal for him.


    He¡¯d ask when the Starry Sky Commerce Guild¡¯s next sales event is scheduled!


    Chen Mobai thought back to when he had wanted to buy that complete Fire in Stone but was short on funds. Now that he had the money, he wished to make up for that regret in his heart.


    Although he later obtained the Fire in Stone seeds from Lou Xuelong through an exchange for Qingyang Fire Seeds, because his main effort was spent on raising his cultivation level, Divine Sense, and his Pure Yang Embodiment, he had sealed that seed in a Storage Bag and nearly forgotten about it.


    He had some techniques that could elevate the Fire in Stone seeds to a complete Rank-2 Peak Spiritual Fire, but if he could just buy it with money, why waste the time?


    Having money made Chen Mobai a bit inflated and less frugal.


    He also remembered that there was to be an auction for Foundation Building Pills at Treasure Color Market. Since his father had recovered from his previous Foundation Establishment failure after years of recuperation, it would be an excellent opportunity to show his filial piety by obtaining a pill for him.


    On this note, could he bid for all the Foundation Building Pills from the Nanxuan sect? Even if he didn¡¯t need them, he could still thwart his competitors.


    But if he really did that, it would essentially cut off the path for Loose Cultivators, and if his actions came to light, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reputation among them would be tarnished.


    Chen Mobai contemplated this for a moment and then suppressed the thought.


    However, bidding for two pills wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    He lacked confidence in Chen Xinglan¡¯s chances for Foundation Establishment, and with two Foundation Building Pills as a guarantee, if it still failed, he wouldn¡¯t let Chen Xinglan attempt it again.


    Because each Foundation Establishment failure, although recoverable, also depleted one¡¯s lifespan. This kind of failed transformation couldn¡¯t be replenished with Lifespan Extension Elixirs.


    Having decided, he acted.


    Chen Mobai, disguised as Chen Xinglan, went to Treasure Color Market using his Formless Puppet.


    The Nanxuan sect, eager to attract Cultivators, didn¡¯t check one¡¯s background at all. They merely required the reporting of one¡¯s name and cultivation level and the payment of a certain amount of Spirit Stones to issue a residence permit.


    After paying for a year, one would then be eligible to bid for Foundation Building Pills.


    The timing of Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet alternate identity was just right, allowing participation in next year¡¯s auction at the end of the year.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This would be a perfect guise to observe the movements of the Nanxuan sect.


    On this side, the Nanxuan sect had also established a few Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings, but these were mostly kept for personal use.


    The Cultivators in the Treasure Color Market lived outside of the market in hastily built wooden huts in areas where they found Spiritual Energy.


    The Nanxuan sect didn¡¯t intervene in these matters; due to the lack of planning, the area was disorganized and worse off than the poorest shanties of an Immortal Gate.


    Moreover, this was a place of survival of the fittest, in line with the usual ways of the Eastern Wilderness. Qi Cultivators at the Ninth Layer monopolized locations with the strongest Spiritual Energy. The rest followed suit, each seizing homes from those weaker than themselves, according to the pecking order of cultivation levels.

 Chapter 814 - Chapter 814 Chapter 463 Auctioning Foundation Building Pills_2

    Chapter 814: Chapter 463: Auctioning Foundation Building Pills_2 Chapter 814: Chapter 463: Auctioning Foundation Building Pills_2 Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet incarnation did not require spiritual energy, so he did not plan to participate in the ongoing events.


    He only needed to stay here for a full year to qualify for the auction for Foundation Building Pills.


    However, since he registered with the cultivation level of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, he couldn¡¯t act too out of the ordinary.


    Therefore, when a new Qi Practitioner of the Ninth Layer brutally killed a Loose Cultivator of the Seventh Layer to seize the latter¡¯s house, Chen Mobai stood up indignantly, expressing his disapproval of such behavior. After a tough fight, he used a disguised blade light to slay the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer practitioner.


    Following that, he naturally moved into the house with a rather decent concentration of spiritual energy.


    With the feat of slaying a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer practitioner, he also came to have a notorious reputation within these slums.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet was simulating the ¡°Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique¡± that he had acquired at the Starry Sky Commerce Guild auction, so the locals started calling him the Golden Blade Hero.


    But this title was derogatory, implying that he was ruthless but hypocritical, always looking for a morally high justification before committing his actions.


    However, that was also the rule of the Golden Blade Hero. If you plundered or killed in front of him, then expect his relentless pursuit.


    Although many disliked him, in the slums, Chen Mobai became a guardian deity to many Qi Practitioners at the bottom, and many chose to move next to him.


    Because at least by his side, no one dared to rob or plunder recklessly.


    A year passed quickly.


    Chen Mobai, disguised as the Golden Blade Hero, successfully entered the Treasure Color Market auction. He ignored the elixirs and magic artifacts precious to Qi Practitioners, waiting till the very end for the Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°There are five pills in total, with each pill auctioned separately, starting at 10,000 Spirit Stones!¡±


    A Foundation Establishment Practitioner of the Nanxuan sect in charge of the auction did not waste words and took out five White Jade Vials, arranging them on the stand.


    ¡°11,000 Spirit Stones!¡±


    A Qi Practitioner promptly bid, causing a wave of snickering.


    ¡°12,000!¡±


    From a private box on the second floor, someone added a whole thousand Spirit Stones at once.


    ¡°13,000!¡±


    ¡­


    After several rounds of bidding, the financially powerful Chen Mobai directly bid 15,000, silencing everyone.


    Loose Cultivators practicing Qi, even those with a Rank-2 profession, could not save up so many Spirit Stones; 13,000 Spirit Stones per Foundation Building Pill was basically the limit they could afford.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s bid of 15,000 instantly made everyone hold their banners down.


    ¡°Which family does this person belong to?¡±


    Inside a second-floor private box, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner from the Nanxuan sect asked a Jiao family Cultivator next to him.


    After Jiao Deyun was killed by Yu Lian and the other two, the remaining Jiao family swiftly merged into the Nanxuan sect. With their knowledge of the Rock Country and prior management of the Treasure Color Market, they quickly became central figures.


    ¡°Reporting to Xuan Qi, this person is a Loose Cultivator from the slums outside the market, named Chen Xinglan, referred to as the Golden Blade Guest¡­¡±


    Although the Nanxuan sect did not care about what happened outside the market, the Jiao family still gathered many Loose Cultivators as underlings, and after some inquiries, they knew the origin of Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet incarnation.


    ¡°He is quite talented, indeed, but for a mere Loose Cultivator to have so many Spirit Stones, he must have encountered a great opportunity¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Xuan Qi looked at ¡°Chen Xinglan¡± and couldn¡¯t help showing a hesitant expression.


    ¡°If you are interested, my lord, after the auction is over, I can arrange for someone to follow him and then¡­¡±


    The Jiao family Cultivator made a throat-slitting gesture with his right hand. Xuan Qi struggled with the decision but eventually sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°We came here to the Eastern Wilderness to create a safe rear base. If we were to do such a thing and word got out, our reputation would be completely ruined. Let¡¯s drop the idea.¡±


    Hearing Xuan Qi¡¯s words, the Jiao family Cultivator secretly felt it was a pity, as without a Foundation Establishment Practitioner¡¯s intervention, he didn¡¯t have the ability to silently make a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivator disappear.


    Nevertheless, he still signaled to his family¡¯s Cultivator to mark the pills¡¯ vials so that they could be traced later.


    As a local Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, he knew that the auction of Foundation Building Pills was only the beginning. The key was whether one could survive and leave with the pills.


    Perhaps their Jiao family could benefit as the third party.


    After all, without Jiao Deyun, they had no Foundation Establishment Practitioner, and although they presented a formidable front with the Nanxuan sect¡¯s backing, internally they were desperate for another member of their family to reach Foundation Establishment.


    For this Foundation Building Pill auction, the Jiao family had also taken out their savings, intending to secure one for themselves.


    But as they were getting ready to bid on the second pill, the Golden Blade Guest surprisingly bid again. Although the Jiao family did not back down, they could only give up in frustration when the price reached 16,000 Spirit Stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    They simply could not compete.


    Could this Loose Cultivator really have so many Spirit Stones?


    The Qi Practitioners present were annoyed with Chen Mobai¡¯s hearty bids and began to discuss noisily.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, how about we settle the transaction for these two Foundation Building Pills first?¡±


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioner from the Nanxuan sect hosting the auction heard the discussions below and, after pondering for a moment, also felt that a Loose Cultivator might not have so many Spirit Stones, so he said with a forced smile.

 Chapter 815 - Chapter 815 Chapter 463 Auction of Foundation Building Pill_3

    Chapter 815: Chapter 463: Auction of Foundation Building Pill_3 Chapter 815: Chapter 463: Auction of Foundation Building Pill_3 ¡°Well then, I only intended to auction off two pills, so let¡¯s complete the transaction and be on our way.¡±


    Chen Mobai deliberately spoke up, then walked to the backstage with an air of someone who wasn¡¯t short of money, and the Nanxuan sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment disciples also took two Foundation Building Pills and left.


    It wasn¡¯t long before the Nanxuan sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment disciple returned to the stage with a strange look on his face.


    Soon after, everyone saw Chen Mobai strut out with a self-satisfied smirk, walked out of the auction in front of everyone.


    ¡°This guy must have struck a huge fortune, a mere Loose Cultivator actually managed to bring out more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Keep an eye on him¡­¡±


    After confirming the news through his sect disciples, Xuan Qi, who was inside the private room, stared eagerly at the departing Chen Mobai and couldn¡¯t help coveting what he had; he instructed the Jiao family cultivators to shadow him.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t just them¨Cinside the auction venue, nearly half of the people followed Chen Mobai out.


    Seeing this, the Nanxuan sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioner in charge of the auction couldn¡¯t help but show a sympathetic look, as he envisioned Chen Mobai being dismembered by a mob and robbed of all his Spirit Stone savings and Foundation Building Pills.


    But this is the Eastern Wilderness!


    Without sufficient strength or influence, possession of Spirit Stones was merely making one a target for others to plunder.


    He went on to pick up the third Foundation Building Pill and started the auction.


    With Chen Mobai no longer causing a disturbance, the pill reverted to its normal price, eventually selling for thirteen thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones.


    But when the fourth and fifth pills were up for bid, the situation turned dramatic again.


    An unassuming Qi Cultivation Stage Six practitioner suddenly produced thirty thousand Spirit Stones, securing both pills for himself.


    Instantly, he attracted even more attention than Chen Mobai had.


    After the auction concluded, before they could even leave the Treasure Color Market, glimmers of light from Magic Artifacts and Spirit Talismans had already begun to shine.


    However, the Nanxuan sect still commanded some respect; two Foundation Establishment Practitioners immediately stepped in, killing the Rogue Cultivator who had taken the lead on the spot.


    ¡°No fighting within the market!¡±


    Having said that, Xuan Qi gave a meaningful glance to the Jiao family cultivators behind him, who immediately understood and began the pursuit of Chen Mobai and the Qi Cultivation Stage Six practitioner who had snatched the last two Foundation Building Pills.


    What they hadn¡¯t expected was to be hunting a shark.


    On the second day, those who pursued Chen Mobai turned into headless bodies, exposed under the sun outside the market in various shacks and sheds.


    The Qi Cultivation Stage Six practitioner wasn¡¯t so fortunate.


    He was merely a short distance away from the market when he was crushed to pulp by numerous Magic Artifacts. The battle that ensued among the Loose Practitioner Robs Practitioner for his Storage Bag resulted in even more casualties than those Chen Mobai had killed.


    In the end, no one knew into whose hands those two Foundation Building Pills had fallen.


    ¡°That¡¯s strange, aren¡¯t you part of the Nanxuan sect now? Is this the will of your sect, or is it the Jiao family acting on their own?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to take the Foundation Building Pills back to Northern Abyss City, he sliced the shocked leading elder of the Jiao family in two with his Golden Jade Axe, then turned to face several Jiao family cultivators who had surrounded him.


    Just when Chen Mobai was about to swing his Golden Jade Axe and scatter his attackers to the skies, a familiar flash of Spiritual Light suddenly descended.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, might I ask you to spare these people for me? I wish to use them to expose the hypocrisy of the Nanxuan sect, to show the entire Eastern Wilderness the true faces of these outsiders.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew this person rather well, it was Zhou Wangshen.


    ¡°The Qi Cultivation Stage Six practitioner, that was your doing.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hide his realization.


    ¡°Eh, you know me?¡±


    Zhou Wangshen didn¡¯t recognize Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet disguise, but he sensed that the person in front of him was very formidable.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t anticipated it, he had only entertained the thought, but Zhou Wangshen had already put plans into action, aiming to sabotage Nanxuan sect¡¯s first auction.


    This fellow, with his thick brows and big eyes, turned out to be not so virtuous after all.

 Chapter 816 - Chapter 816 Chapter 464 Returning to the Clan

    Chapter 816: Chapter 464 Returning to the Clan Chapter 816: Chapter 464 Returning to the Clan ¡°If you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that this disguise might still be useful in the future, so he didn¡¯t reveal it to King Zhou, leaving behind a sentence before he transformed into a beam of golden light and disappeared from his original place.


    ¡°Among the Eastern Wilderness Loose Cultivators, there is actually such a person?¡±


    King Zhou watched the escaping light where Chen Mobai had vanished with a face full of wariness, having just considered testing the strength of this mysterious loose cultivator.


    But when his Divine Sense reached out, it was directly blocked, and he even felt an extremely dangerous sensation.


    Given his cautious nature, he immediately abandoned the idea.


    He feared that among the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect in Rock Country, only Junior Brother Chen might be capable of taking down this person.


    As this thought flashed through his mind, King Zhou looked at the Jiao family cultivators Chen Mobai had knocked out around him, a faint smile crossing his lips.


    ¡­


    Sure enough, the play arranged by King Zhou unfolded soon after.


    The Qi Cultivation Rank-6 cultivator, who had won two Foundation Building Pills, seemingly came back from the dead, arriving at Northern Abyss City¡¯s Fang Market, and in front of all the loose cultivators there, accused the Nanxuan Sect of arranging people to snatch away his Foundation Building Pills.


    As for why he turned to the Divine Wood Sect, it turned out this person was actually an Outer Sect disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Then King Zhou, with a face ashen with anger, took action, steadfastly refusing to believe the Nanxuan Sect would do such a thing.


    The Qi Cultivation Rank-6 cultivator, named Gou Changfa, claimed on the spot that he had originally escaped the pursuit, but the Foundation Building Pills he had were tracked by a Spiritual Tracer, and he was later caught up by the Jiao family cultivators affiliated with the Nanxuan Sect.


    To escape with his life, he had to throw down the Foundation Building Pills and only then managed to survive and return.


    King Zhou still didn¡¯t believe it, arguing that the Nanxuan Sect, as a renowned Eastern Yi Clan, an offshoot of the formidable Dao Sect, would never do something so disgraceful.


    Gou Changfa claimed that when he threw down the Foundation Building Pills, he had also applied a secret drug to them, enabling a spirit bee to be used to track them in return.


    Concerned about the opportunity for his Sect Disciple to achieve Foundation Establishment, King Zhou immediately invited a few of his fellow sect members to leave the market and track down the two Foundation Building Pills.


    After a day and a night, they indeed traced them to Red Shadow Mountain, where the Jiao family was based.


    King Zhou, adhering to the principle of friendly exchanges between Divine Wood Sect and Nanxuan Sect, did not launch an attack immediately, but first sent a Message Talisman to the Treasure Color Market.


    Then he calmly waited for the Nanxuan Sect to send someone over, falling into the trap he had laid.


    As long as someone from the Nanxuan Sect came to explain and wanted to absolve themselves of blame, then the batch of Jiao family cultivators King Zhou had captured from Chen Mobai would become the killer blow, making the Nanxuan Sect appear thoroughly guilty of the charges he had set up, becoming a representative of untrustworthiness among the Eastern Wilderness Loose Cultivators.


    However, as it turned out, King Zhou had underestimated the Nanxuan Sect.


    Or rather, he had underestimated the Golden Core Master.


    An hour later, a radiant and dazzling golden light arrived like the midday sun in the sky, and within it, a figure was faintly visible. He extended his hand and gently waved it towards Red Shadow Mountain, where the Jiao family resided.


    ¡°This is bad!¡±


    Seeing this scene, King Zhou¡¯s face drastically changed, and he immediately took out a Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman. After activating it, he retreated explosively with his sect members.


    Just then, the golden giant palm descended from the sky, like a hand that could cover the heavens, pressing Red Shadow Mountain down inch by inch towards the earth.


    Amid the continuous rumbling of collapsing, the hundreds of Jiao family cultivators and their clansmen living there were all crushed into flat ground, along with Red Shadow Mountain under the might of that giant palm.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Accompanied by a cold snort, the cultivator who had erased Red Shadow Mountain stepped forward towards King Zhou and the rest.


    The overwhelming suppression made everyone¡¯s hair stand on end.


    Within the Nanxuan Sect, only one person possessed such power.


    The Golden Core Cultivator, Nanxuan Jing!


    Unexpectedly, it was he who had personally taken action, and his move was ruthlessly extreme, eradicating the Jiao family that might have already fallen into King Zhou¡¯s trap, and who had become a handle for the opponents.


    With such a decisive move, even if King Zhou presented the captured Jiao family cultivators, it would no longer play a decisive role.


    ¡°You little brats from the Divine Wood Sect, thinking of scheming against me, you¡¯re still too green!¡±


    With cold words from Nanxuan Jing, the golden light flared again. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly uttered a sound of surprise.


    A Foundation Establishment Practitioner standing behind King Zhou suddenly stepped forward, bursting with powerful Spiritual Power, blocking Nanxuan Jing¡¯s oppressive force.


    This person was none other than a Formless Puppet of Fu Zongjue, and it was unclear when he started following behind King Zhou, or perhaps he had been there all along as King Zhou¡¯s trump card.


    ¡°Fu Zongjue, you¡¯re still so fond of hiding your head and showing your tail.¡±


    With a cold snort from Nanxuan Jing, he withdrew his Spiritual Power and left the now-flattened terrain of Red Shadow Mountain, vanishing from everyone¡¯s sight.

    ¡°Thank you, Elder Ancestor Fu, for your timely rescue, or else we might have already fallen to Nanxuan Jing¡¯s poison.¡±


    King Zhou immediately thanked Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body, but the latter just waved his hand and then led them back to Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Greeting Elder Ancestor Fu.¡±


    After obtaining the two Foundation Building Pills from the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai had vaguely guessed that Fu Zongjue might take action, so when he saw that it was Fu Zongjue leading King Zhou and the others back, he wasn¡¯t very surprised.


    ¡°Nanxuan Jing is not entirely worthless. In the future, it might be necessary to contend with his Nanxuan Sect here for a long time.¡±

 Chapter 817 - Chapter 817 Chapter 464 Return to the Clan_2

    Chapter 817: Chapter 464: Return to the Clan_2 Chapter 817: Chapter 464: Return to the Clan_2 Fu Zongjue sighed and then asked Zhou Wangshen, who was standing beside him, to recount the recent events.


    The stratagem was not actually Fu Zongjue¡¯s idea but an initiative taken by Zhou Wangshen himself.


    However, before Zhou Wangshen took action, he had considered the worst-case scenario and had sent a message to Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body.


    Turns out, Nanxuan Jing was even more ruthless than Zhou Wangshen had anticipated.


    Zhou Wangshen had thought at most Nanxuan Jing would turn hostile and try to kill him, but instead, Nanxuan Jing planned to kill both the Jiao family and Zhou Wangshen¡¯s group to cut off future troubles once and for all.


    If Fu Zongjue had not followed, Chen Mobai might have had to collect Zhou Wangshen¡¯s corpse today.


    ¡°From now on, let¡¯s put an end to these little schemes and honestly develop Beiyuan Fang Market. In the end, the outcome will depend on Brother Zhou¡¯s side.¡±


    After Zhou Wangshen finished speaking, Fu Zongjue added his own thoughts. The former smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.


    ¡°You too, nephew Chen. Now that Shake Mountain Peak is destroyed and the remnants can no longer stir up any waves, my suggestion is you return to the sect and focus on your cultivation. After all, you are currently the Guard of the Founding Nation, and to be away for two years is indeed quite long.¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s words caused some surprise among those present, including Zhou Wangshen and Yue Zutao. After all, the old ancestor had always been openly appreciative of Chen Mobai, so were his words suggesting that Chen Mobai give up the Beiyuan Fang Market he had worked so hard to establish?


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Elder Ancestor!¡±


    As they wondered what Chen Mobai might have done to displease Elder Ancestor Fu, Mobai unexpectedly accepted the suggestion with an excited tone.


    It turns out that Fu Zongjue had secretly informed Chen Mobai via telepathy that Yan Shaoyin, after over a year of collection, had already ordered all the main and auxiliary medicines required for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    They were just waiting for Starry Sky Commerce Guild¡¯s next arrival in the Eastern Wilderness to bring the last three types of Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine so that they could start the alchemy process.


    Although elixirs of Rank-3 and above can be stored for many years after successful refinement, their efficacy is undoubtedly the best right after they are created.


    Therefore, Fu Zongjue hopes that Chen Mobai stops dealing with these various trivial matters and returns to the sect to concentrate fully on his cultivation, striving to reach Foundation Establishment Completion as soon as possible.


    After all, in the concept of the Eastern Wilderness, there is no bottleneck from Foundation Establishment Late Phase to Foundation Establishment Completion; one only needs sufficient Spiritual Energy and elixirs to achieve it at a very fast pace.


    Fu Zongjue even offered to have Zeng Woyou stop refining Foundation Building Pills and instead help Chen Mobai refine a batch of elixir suitable for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Late Phase to enhance their Spiritual Power.


    Touched by this, Chen Mobai firmly declined.


    He stated that Foundation Building Pills were crucial to the future of the sect and could not be delayed on his account; his personal matters should never take precedence over the sect.


    After hearing this, Fu Zongjue grew even more satisfied with Chen Mobai.


    This child is truly reliable.


    Not like the descendants of Brother Zhou, who despite a robust appearance, are full of crafty schemes.


    Upon learning of Yan Shaoyin¡¯s upcoming refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, Chen Mobai also lost interest in developing commerce and founding an Immortal City in Rock Country.


    However, even if he were to leave, these matters would still need to be entrusted to someone he trusts.


    ¡°The sect still needs to appoint Town Guards in both Rock Country and Sky Country, with Rock Country being the most critical and urgent. It¡¯s a pity that Brother Zhou is already the Town Guard of Lei Nation; otherwise, he would have been quite suitable.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhou Wangshen hesitated as he had something to say, thinking that he could actually resign from the position of Town Guard in Lei Nation to take up the post here in Rock Country.


    But recalling how he was powerless against Nanxuan Jing not so long ago, even though Fu Zongjue would have a Puppet Body stationed here permanently, he still wavered for a moment.


    ¡°Among the fellow sect members here, only Brother Yue has the suitable capability and seniority. I wonder what Elder Ancestor Fu thinks?¡±


    Chen Mobai nominated Yue Zutao. He was a disciple of Chu Zuoshu and indeed a rightful direct descendant of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Even though his cultivation level had been sealed because of consuming the Tree Fruit, he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and with Rock Country heading into an extended period of peace, it was just right for him to shine.


    ¡°Agreed.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, Fu Zongjue simply nodded. His agreement, in the absence of Sect Leader Zhou Shengqing¡¯s presence, was practically a decree surpassing the Sect Leader¡¯s commands.


    ¡°Elder Ancestor, now that both Rock Country and Sky Country have fallen, Lei Nation is essentially the sect¡¯s hinterland, which will no longer suffer frequent turmoils like the past wars. How about we choose another junior brother to take over the position of Town Guard? I will go to Sky Country to spread the sect¡¯s grand doctrine.¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Wangshen bit the bullet and stepped forward, volunteering.

    He had shown mediocre performance in this war but still aspired for the Sect Leader position. Thus, without the post in Rock Country, he would settle for Sky Country, hoping to achieve some significant results.


    ¡°Agreed!¡± After a moment of contemplation, Fu Zongjue also nodded and then turned to Chen Mobai and asked, ¡°Who do you think is suitable for the position of Town Guard in Lei Nation?¡±


    Zhou Wangshen was keen to recommend someone of his own, but he knew better since Fu Zongjue had not asked him, so he decided it was best to keep quiet.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yuan once spent quite some time in Lei Nation and is familiar with the cultivator families and culture there. After entering Rock Country, he was at the forefront in seizing the Spirit Stone Mine, contributing greatly. Why not let him take over?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye, who was standing in the corner, showed a look of surprise. He certainly hadn¡¯t expected to be nominated.

 Chapter 818 - Chapter 818 Chapter 464 Returning to the Sect_3

    Chapter 818: Chapter 464: Returning to the Sect_3 Chapter 818: Chapter 464: Returning to the Sect_3 It should be noted that among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners present, only Yu Lian had less seniority than he did.


    ¡°Certainly!¡±


    But what shocked Yuan Chiye even more occurred¨Cupon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t hesitate at all and nodded in agreement immediately.


    This unexpected windfall left Yuan Chiye dumbstruck on the spot.


    In the end, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s secret transmitted cough that shook him awake Amidst the envious gazes of many fellow sect members, Yuan Chiye joyfully stepped forward and bowed to Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Nephew Chen, do conduct the handover, and then return to the sect as soon as possible.¡±


    After confirming the personnel changes right there, Fu Zongjue then gave Chen Mobai an order and disappeared from the spot.


    ¡°From now on, Rock Country will be the center of the struggle, with Lei Nation and Sky Country flanking it on either side, forming a joint force. The three senior brothers, as Town Guards, need to unite your strengths and strive to suppress the influence of the Nanxuan Sect within Rock Country.¡±


    After learning the progress of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chen Mobai also had no desire to stay any longer, but he still solemnly advised Yue Zutao and the others.


    ¡°Although I lack the talent of younger brother, adhering to your plans and progressing step by step is not a problem,¡±


    Yue Zutao said with a smile. Chen Mobai nodded; he understood this senior brother well-he was very patient and stable.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai held a banquet and invited most of the friends he knew.


    In addition to Foundation Establishment Practitioners like Yue Zutao, there were also Qi Rui, Qi Hou, Xi Jinghuo, and other good friends from the Qi Cultivation era.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, I encountered Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin in the great army of the sect before.¡±


    While drinking with Chen Mobai, Qi Rui mentioned the names of the two old acquaintances; these siblings had been assigned to Qi Rui¡¯s team.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect that they also survived the demonic beast attack on the island. That¡¯s indeed good news. Why didn¡¯t you mention it earlier?¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­¡±


    After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Qi Rui was somewhat uncertain about how to respond.


    Even though Chen Mobai still considered him a friend, being raised in the Eastern Wilderness since childhood, Qi Rui naturally set a clear boundary between himself and Chen Mobai.


    Only if Chen Mobai took the initiative to invite him, would he come over.


    On regular days, Qi Rui dared not contact Foundation Establishment Practitioners actively, let alone Chen Mobai, whose reputation was growing by the day, reaching its peak. As he did not have the profound background of Qi Hou or Xi Jinghuo, even upon meeting Shi Pengyi siblings, he refrained from rashly seeking out Chen Mobai, afraid of disturbing the important general of the army.


    Chen Mobai did not understand, but Luo Yixuan, who was pouring wine on one side, roughly understood Qi Rui¡¯s mentality and quietly explained it via secret transmission.


    ¡°Are those siblings still in Fang Market?¡±


    ¡°They were at Wu Liu Mountain Fang Market before, but they didn¡¯t follow us to Northern Abyss City after that; they must have left already.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s quite a regret¡­¡±


    Upon hearing Qi Rui¡¯s response, Chen Mobai sighed. He had a life-and-death relationship with those siblings and would indeed like to see them again if possible.


    After handing over all his matters, Chen Mobai left for Giant Tree Ridge with only Luo Yixuan.


    Liu Wenbo stayed behind to prepare for the opening of the Little Nan Mountain Shop in Rock Country and Sky Country.


    Upon returning to the sect, Chen Mobai did not make a fuss; he only went to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to exchange for the Green Wood Evil that Xie Yuntian had ceded, and then started a long period of closed-door cultivation.

    But in actuality, he returned to the Immortal Gate.


    Inside the Repairing Heaven Institute, Chen Mobai, in a rare occasion, dressed formally to attend this year¡¯s welcome ceremony in the grand auditorium.


    Yan Bingxuan failed the postgraduate entrance examination last year, buckled down for another year, and finally made it through narrowly, becoming a graduate student of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Chen Mobai came here to welcome her.


    But he also encountered another unexpected acquaintance.

 Chapter 819 - Chapter 819 Chapter 465 The Master of the Divine Machine

    Chapter 819: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion Chapter 819: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion This past year, Chen Mobai had kept a low profile within the Repairing Heaven Institute. Aside from cultivating the Guidance Book, he was studying content related to governing the state and military affairs.


    As the Repairing Heaven Institute had produced many Sect Masters in the past, and Chen Mobai had expressed this intention even before joining the institute, his pursuit of such knowledge didn¡¯t attract much attention.


    Since he now possessed two Formless Puppets, he was able to manage affairs in both realms without raising any suspicions.


    After all, Chen Mobai was the youngest Rank-3 practitioner of Puppetry Technique in the Immortal Gate, so even if his use of puppets to attend classes was discovered, the teachers at the Repairing Heaven Institute wouldn¡¯t say anything.


    Geniuses all have their quirks and privileges, especially since it was their Daoist Academy that had invited him to enroll.


    On this day, Chen Mobai sat quietly in a corner, planning to invite Yan Bingxuan for a meal after the orientation ended.


    However, a slender young man with gray hair approached and greeted him.


    ¡°Brother Chen, long time no see.¡±


    ¡°You are¡­¡± Chen Mobai looked at the person in front of him, slightly furrowed his brow, and after thinking for a while, he finally found the corresponding memory, ¡°Ding Chundzhi!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Brother Chen remembers my name, I am quite honored.¡±


    The gray-haired young man was none other than Ding Chundzhi, who had once compiled the Foundation List at the Jumang Academy. He had insisted on his opinion, ranking the then fresh-faced Chen Mobai at the top. His Observing Stars Technique indeed had extraordinary merit, and as he had predicted, Chen Mobai swept through all opponents and dominated the Foundation Establishment geniuses of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, you¡¯re a graduate of the Astral Observation Academy, so what brings you to the Repairing Heaven Institute?¡±


    ¡°To fully unleash the potential of the Observing Stars Technique, it¡¯s best to supplement it with the Guidance Book. So when I felt I had hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, I came here to advance my studies,¡± Ding Chundzhi replied openly and honestly.


    The Guidance Book is the most versatile secondary cultivation technique of the Immortal Gate, and any Foundation Establishment Practitioner would choose to cultivate it if they could.


    However, as a Divinity Transformation Technique, the Guidance Book is one of the most talent-demanding within the Immortal Gate, requiring top-tier intelligence, comprehension, and wisdom roots to possibly master it.


    Over the past thirty to forty years at the Repairing Heaven Institute, only Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi have succeeded in cultivating it.


    Last year, Chen Mobai joined the institute and was taught the technique, and even now, he was still lingering outside its threshold without having mastered it.


    ¡°How goes your cultivation of the Guidance Book?¡± asked Chen Mobai, hesitating before speaking up.


    ¡°My talent isn¡¯t as great as yours; I¡¯ve only just started the rudiments. As for how long it will take to truly master it, who knows,¡± Ding Chundzhi replied with a sigh.


    Within the Immortal Gate, it was universally acknowledged that Chen Mobai possessed a talent and understanding akin to a ceiling level, and Ding Chundzhi, knowing he was also cultivating the Guidance Book, had taken it for granted that he¡¯d already mastered it.


    Even if he hadn¡¯t mastered it yet, it was assumed he would inevitably succeed in the future.


    About this, Chen Mobai was left speechless. After all, a person¡¯s reputation precedes them¨Cwhy else would he be regarded as having the Qualification of Deification!


    However, in reality, although he had consumed various heavenly and earthly treasures, and his Spiritual Root was considered genius-level, aspects like comprehension and wisdom roots, which are quite elusive, were just barely considered top-quality.


    To master the Guidance Book, however, it didn¡¯t matter if one¡¯s Spiritual Root was connected; only those with the highest tiers of comprehension could possibly do it.


    ¡°Are you here to welcome the newcomers today as well?¡±


    Not wanting to continue on this topic, Chen Mobai decisively changed the subject.


    ¡°Exactly, a student from the Astral Observation Academy has successfully passed the examination and enrolled in the Repairing Heaven Institute. I¡¯m on good terms with her; our relationship is like that of senior and junior, so I came to welcome her,¡± replied Ding Chundzhi after a moment of hesitation, telling the truth.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind, merely nodded, and continued along this new line of conversation to steer clear of discussing the Guidance Book.


    And at this point, one by one, the new students who had passed the examination began to take the stage.


    While Chen Mobai was looking for Yan Bingxuan, he suddenly caught sight of someone he had not expected to see at all.


    Chen Chun from the Divine Machine Mansion!


    Why had she come to the Repairing Heaven Institute?


    And she had been admitted through examination; which scholarly mansion or academy did she come from?


    As Chen Mobai was thinking this, he suddenly noticed Ding Chundzhi beside him take an abrupt breath, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looked over, revealing a forced smile on his face.


    ¡°The fourth one from the left in the third row, she wouldn¡¯t happen to be the person from your Astral Observation Academy, would she?¡±


    ¡°Haha, Brother Chen knows of Chen Chun as well? It¡¯s quite the coincidence, she shares your surname¨Cperhaps five hundred years ago, you were even from the same family.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With those words, Ding Chundzhi essentially acknowledged it; regardless, even if it was a temporary secret, with Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, a little investigation would yield the same conclusion later on.


    ¡°How amusing. Who would have thought, Brother Ding, you too hail from the Antiquity Daoist System,¡± Chen Mobai said with narrowed eyes, uttering a statement that made Ding Chundzhi¡¯s complexion shift slightly.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you shouldn¡¯t say that. I am a bona fide scholar of the Astral Observation Academy,¡± Ding Chundzhi replied with a trembling tone and a forced smile, seemingly lacking confidence.


    ¡°This woman has calculated my fortune for me and claims to be a descendant of the Divine Machine Mansion. Although this lineage is not listed among the Evil Path, it is part of the Antiquity Daoist System. Since Brother Ding, you claim a brother-sister relationship with her, don¡¯t you think this kind of statement is a bit dismissive?¡±


    Having said that, Ding Chundzhi could only shake his head and give a wry smile.

 Chapter 820 - Chapter 820 Chapter 465 The Master of the Divine Machine

    Chapter 820: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion_2 Chapter 820: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion_2 ¡°`


    However, even if people knew about this matter, it wouldn¡¯t matter much, because the connections of The Divine Machine Mansion reach the heavens.


    ¡°The previous master of The Divine Machine Mansion divined the heavenly secrets and foresaw the Way of God Transformation for the Leading Star Ancestor, but as a result suffered severe damage to his essential energy and soon passed away in meditation.¡±


    ¡°However, before passing away, the master of The Divine Machine Mansion left their lineage to both Leading Star Ancestor and his chosen successor, Zhai Zhaoyi. Sadly, Zhai Zhaoyi¡¯s talent was mediocre. Although supported by the Leading Star Ancestor, he only managed to reach Golden Core Perfection before his lifespan ended, and he too passed away in meditation.¡±


    ¡°Before Zhai Zhaoyi passed away, due to his insufficient cultivation level, he was unable to foresee the future of The Divine Machine Mansion¡¯s legacy, so he entrusted this matter to the Leading Star Ancestor. The Ancestor was able to successfully Ascend to become an Immortal and was deeply influenced by the karmic ties with The Divine Machine Mansion, so he specially exited seclusion to choose a successor for Zhai Zhaoyi within the Immortal Sect, continuing their lineage.¡±


    As Ding Chundzhi reached this point in the story, Chen Mobai had a vague sense of understanding and looked towards Chen Chun on the stage, who seemed to have sensed his gaze. Her eyes, which were previously unfocused, lifted.


    After their eyes met and they hesitated for a moment, they both very reservedly nodded their heads, greeting each other.


    ¡°So you mean to say, this Chen Chun is the disciple that Leading Star Ancestor took on behalf of Zhai Zhaoyi?¡±


    Having heard this secret history, Chen Mobai also understood why Chen Chun had such confidence earlier, claiming that not even The Three Great Halls of Xianmen could determine the crimes of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it. My teacher is the one who is Zhai Zhaoyi¡¯s disciple in name.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi shook his head and revealed something that surprised Chen Mobai greatly.


    ¡°Your teacher?¡±


    ¡°Yes, back then my teacher was also studying and advancing in the Repairing Heaven Institute. He was the only one of that era to master the Guidance Book, showing exceptional talent and astonishing understanding, and he also practiced the easy path of divination. With one glance, he was chosen by Leading Star Ancestor as the successor.¡±


    ¡°Dare I ask who your master is¡­¡±


    ¡°It is the headmaster of our Astral Observation Academy, Meihua Superior!¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had already guessed the answer, after actually hearing Ding Chundzhi say it, he couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply.


    Who would have thought that one of the fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors of Xianmen, who is highly respected and whose Observing Stars Technique can influence decisions of The Three Great Halls, would be the master of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    No wonder Che Yucheng, when mentioning this lineage previously, specifically advised Chen Mobai to treat them with great respect.


    ¡°Who would have thought, the Antiquity Daoist System has already entered the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect¡­¡±


    Amid his astonishment, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but wonder how many of the current fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors of Xianmen were influenced by the Antiquity Daoist System.


    ¡°Brother Chen misunderstands, although my teacher has received the legacy of The Divine Machine Mansion, he only uses it to enhance his own Observing Stars Technique, and he steadfastly maintains his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Gates, a student of the Astral Academy. He never dares to claim himself openly as the master of The Divine Machine Mansion.¡±


    Who knew that after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishment, Ding Chundzhi would repeatedly gesture with his hands and earnestly declare that one must absolutely never say such things outside.


    ¡°Oh, why is that? With Meihua Superior¡¯s status in the Immortal Gates, it seems that even if people knew, it probably wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. The Divine Machine Mansion¡¯s reputation within the Immortal Gates is also positive. Having received the favor of Leading Star Ancestor, why not acknowledge it?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand. If he had such a background, with a Huashen Ancestor backing him, he certainly would want the whole world to know, to see who would dare to bully him.


    ¡°Brother Chen, as long as The Divine Machine Mansion¡¯s master is alive, Chen Chun is his disciple. By seniority, she is of the same generation as my teacher, Meihua Superior, and privately I even have to call her ¡®Senior Uncle¡¯.¡±


    Hearing Ding Chundzhi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that it was normal for The Divine Machine Mansion, as a leader of the Antiquity Daoist System, to have many successors.


    However, he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Chun¡¯s seniority to be so high, on par with the Meihua Superior of the Astral Observation Academy.


    ¡°So when you spoke of seniority, you¡¯re the junior and she¡¯s the senior.¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth in an enlightened yet wry chuckle.


    After hearing this, Ding Chundzhi could only offer an embarrassed smile, and then he said something that made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widen.


    ¡°Being able to call her ¡®Senior Uncle¡¯ is already me reaching above my station; I don¡¯t even know if Leading Star Ancestor would be willing to acknowledge me as his grand-disciple.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°What did you say! Her teacher is Leading Star Ancestor!¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this statement, he indeed felt an unprecedented huge shock. His eyes widened as he looked towards Chen Chun on the stage, who at that time was already looking down, her eyes devoid of spirit, zoning out.


    But at this moment, Fu Borong from the Repairing Heaven Institute happened to step onto the stage, as a representative of the Daoist Academy¡¯s teachers to welcome this batch of new students.


    Chen Mobai saw that as Fu Borong passed by Chen Chun¡¯s side, he slightly lifted his hands that were placed behind his back, giving her a respectful gesture.


    This was an ancient ritual of the Repairing Heaven Institute, used by the younger generation to greet their elders.


    Chen Mobai took a sharp breath, feeling that brandishing the Purple Electric Sword at her seemed somewhat disrespectful before, wondering if he should find a way to apologize.


    ¡°The Divine Machine Mansion lineage has always been passed down from one generation to the next. Only in Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s generation did an accident occur. The chosen successor was originally Zhai Zhaoyi, but Leading Star Ancestor needed the inheritance¡¯s secret techniques of the Divine Machine Mansion to bolster the foundation for his God Transformation. So in order to create good karma and ensure the lineage did not come to an end, he passed it on to him.¡±


    ¡°After Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s successful Divinity Transformation, remembering this kindness, he referred to Zhai Zhaoyi as a fellow Daoist brother. After the latter passed away in meditation, the Ancestor was the only living successor of the Divine Machine Mansion, so he took over the position of the Mansion Master.¡±


    ¡°Although my teacher Meihua Superior nominally was a disciple of Zhai Zhaoyi, her ability to achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ was owing to the guidance and teachings of Leading Star Ancestor. Do you think my teacher would dare claim the title of Mansion Master of the Divine Machine Mansion while Leading Star Ancestor is still alive?¡±


    Clearly, she wouldn¡¯t dare!


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded lightly, but it was no wonder that Meihua Superior was so respected by The Three Great Halls of Xianmen. It turned out she was essentially a disciple of Leading Star Ancestor.


    This status was indeed more dazzling than that of the Mansion Master of the Divine Machine Mansion.


    Perhaps it was precisely because of the connection with Leading Star Ancestor that the Divine Machine Mansion lineage maintained such a positive reputation within the Immortal Sect.


    In terms of contribution, the Ruyi Sect, which diligently deals with the trash produced by three billion cultivators every year, is thousands and thousands of times higher than the elusive Divine Machine Mansion.


    ¡°Are you certain that Chen Chun is a disciple of Leading Star Ancestor?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still somewhat incredulous and asked again.


    ¡°Of course, ten years ago my teacher personally brought her over to the Astral Observation Academy, instructing me to call her Martial Uncle and take care of everything for her within the Scholarly Mansion. She also has a letter from the Ancestor which is said to contain the power of Divinity Transformation. However, I have only heard my teacher mention it.¡±


    After hearing Ding Chundzhi¡¯s statement, Chen Mobai felt once more that drawing the Purple Electric Sword on her last time was indeed too rude.


    Thankfully, he hadn¡¯t acted on it, because otherwise, not even a hundredfold Talents of Deification would suffice.


    At the time, Chen Chun was so amenable, probably because she considered that he was the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Thank heavens, their Dance Tool Dao Academy also had a Huashen Ancestor.


    Although Chen Mobai had never met Ancestor Baiguang in his life, at this moment, he was extremely grateful for the affiliation with this Ancestor.


    At this instant, Chen Mobai felt proud to be a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Ding Chundzhi: ¡°Brother Chen, would you like to have a meal together? You are already acquainted with Martial Uncle Chen Chun¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°No, no, I have already made arrangements with a friend.¡±

    Ding Chundzhi: ¡°Why not invite your friend to join us?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°My friend tends to be quite reserved, and gets as cold as a fridge around people they¡¯re not familiar with. Let¡¯s forget it, I¡¯ll invite you another day.¡±


    The welcome ceremony had just ended when both Chen Mobai and Ding Chundzhi stood up at the same time. The latter eagerly invited him, but the former continually shook his head and waved his hands, hurrying over to Yan Bingxuan in a matter of moments.


    Seeing the exceptional beauty and tall figure of the great beauty Yan Bingxuan, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but think of the rumors he had heard about Chen Mobai at Jumang Academy and silently cursed in his heart.


    ¡°Scumbag!¡±

 Chapter 821 - Chapter 821 Chapter 466 Three Years

    Chapter 821: Chapter 466 Three Years Chapter 821: Chapter 466 Three Years After entering the Repairing Heaven Institute, Yan Bingxuan chose the most renowned Yuanqi system of cultivation.


    The so-called Yuanqi system is used to research the various combinations and permutations of nature¡¯s spiritual energy to artificially synthesize various types of Evil Qi, Spiritual Power, Divine Light, True Qi, etc.


    The origin was the artificial synthesis of Earthly Fiendish Qi created by Elder Yuanxu, and many geniuses of the Repairing Heaven Institute continued the effort, deriving artificial higher grade Spiritual Energy based on the essence of the Five Elements through different conditions and reactions.


    Since Elder Yuanxu was the founder of this discipline, it was named ¡°Yuanqi Studies.¡±


    For example, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power that Chen Mobai cultivates could be artificially synthesized from Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy even without a cultivator.


    Yan Bingxuan chose this system not only because there were few researchers in this field, but also because she wanted to elevate her Mysterious Ice Spiritual Power to ¡°Ice Soul Divine Light¡± through the research of Yuanqi.


    Once she managed to master the Ice Soul Divine Light, she could perform the Freezing Technique taught by Yan Qiongzhi, which would be very helpful for her future development of the Golden Core Domain.


    Chen Mobai naturally fully supported her choice.


    After all, he now had great hope for reaching Core Formation and wished for his friends to keep improving and to accompany him on his journey.


    Chen Mobai would also join her in classes when he had the time, mainly because he was very curious about Yuanqi Studies and wanted to understand its principles.


    However, his primary focus was still on the cultivation of the Guidance Book, as well as courses in governance and military affairs, enriching his knowledge in preparation for leading the entire Eastern Wilderness in the future.


    The cultivation of the Guidance Book, however, progressed very slowly.


    But Chen Mobai kept a calm mindset, knowing that as long as he could form his Core, he would have all the time he needed in the future.


    With Yan Bingxuan¡¯s companionship, the originally tedious process of reading and studying gained an indescribably delightful flavor.


    Not long after the start of school, Meng Huang sneaked over, and with Chen Mobai¡¯s help, she successfully broke through to the third layer of Foundation Establishment.


    In this peaceful and contented state of mind, Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level steadily increased, and his Divine Sense, which had grown during Meng Huang¡¯s breakthrough by listening to the Heartstring Mystical Sound, was tempered like iron ore, gradually turning into Pure Iron through the daily resonance of the Morning Bell.


    There¡¯s no need to mention the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, which naturally broke through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment at the end of the first year of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s PhD studies at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    At this rate, by the time the PhD studies concluded, he would meet the minimum requirements for Core Formation.


    However, not everything went as desired. Chen Xinglan, after taking the modified Foundation Building Pill provided by Chen Mobai, still failed to break through.


    It proved that his father was indeed a very ordinary cultivator.


    Even after Chen Mobai had used the Formless Puppet to simulate the process several times, he could not overcome that threshold.


    After this attempt, Chen Xinglan completely let go. After his Foundation Establishment failure, he lay in the hospital bed, holding Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Having attempted Foundation Establishment twice, I am content. You no longer need to worry about me in that regard. I will spend the rest of my days peacefully with your mother. If you succeed in forming your Core, just offer incense at our graves every ten years.¡±


    For an ordinary cultivator past the age of sixty, failing Foundation Establishment means a greater loss of life years. Although Chen Mobai purchased Longevity Elixirs through Yu Rulin, Chen Xinglan¡¯s complexion still aged considerably after discharge from the hospital.


    Chen Mobai sensed that he might pass away even earlier than his mother, Tang Panchui.


    And his mother, Tang Panchui, who had not cultivated Divine Sense for many years, had little hope even with Chen Mobai¡¯s help and simulation with the Formless Puppet based on her personal data. Even with a Foundation Building Pill, the chances were slim.


    Moreover, Tang Panchui herself had no thoughts of Foundation Establishment, and when Chen Mobai mentioned it to her, she directly shook her head in refusal.


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s two failures in Foundation Establishment had cast a shadow over her, who had inferior aptitude and willpower. She now only wished to live out her remaining days in peace with her family and did not want to suffer the pain of a failed transformation.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only nod helplessly.


    The cycle of life and death is unavoidable for anyone, even a Huashen Ancestor who at the end of life can only sit in meditation and pass away, with the Primordial Spirit ceasing to exist!


    Even with the Turtle Treasure, Chen Mobai could only hope for a lifespan of a thousand years at most.


    However, his father¡¯s failure in Foundation Establishment did leave him despondent for a few days.


    Life is full of disappointments, but fortunately, he had Yan Bingxuan in Red Sandstone City to accompany him, enabling him to share his sentiments.


    After speaking with her, he recovered.


    Returning to the Repairing Heaven Institute with Yan Bingxuan for the new semester, Chen Mobai left a Formless Puppet behind to study at the Daoist Academy while his true body went to Xiao Nanshan to cultivate with the help of the abundant Spiritual Energy there.

    Time passed quickly amidst the busyness, and half a year flew by in the blink of an eye.


    One day, while coming out of seclusion, Chen Mobai checked the Message Talismans outside the Cloud Mist Array.


    He learned of an unfortunate piece of news.


    That was, Zeng Woyou had attempted to refine two batches of Foundation Building Pills, but both attempts had failed, causing the True Disciples waiting for the pills to be utterly disappointed, including his little disciple, Luo Yixuan.


    Some, rather excessively, had already started cursing privately, accusing Zeng Woyou, the head of the Alchemy Department, of overestimating his abilities, wasting the sect¡¯s precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms without the skill to refine Foundation Building Pills, thereby squandering many people¡¯s chances of Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 822 - Chapter 822 Chapter 466 Three Years_2

    Chapter 822: Chapter 466 Three Years_2 Chapter 822: Chapter 466 Three Years_2 After all, if the ingredients for these two batches of Foundation Building Pills were given to Back to Sky Valley for refining, there would at least be seven or eight pills as a guaranteed minimum.


    Under such circumstances, when Zeng Woyou was preparing to refine the third batch of Foundation Building Pills, the overt and covert pressure began to surge in.


    Four out of the Twelve Divisions jointly submitted a petition, asking Chu Zuoshu to rescind his order and prevent Zeng Woyou from continuing to squander the sect¡¯s precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.


    Chu Zuoshu also hesitated over this matter.


    He had never been on good terms with Zeng Woyou; it was only after Chen Mobai had persuaded him that he had agreed to let Zeng Woyou concoct the Foundation Building Pills.


    Now that Zeng Woyou¡¯s concoctions had failed twice, Chu Zuoshu already had an excusable reason to halt the process.


    But that would mean that the precious ingredients from the previous two batches had been wasted. If he gave up now, wouldn¡¯t all that precious material be lost?


    Although the term ¡°sunk cost¡± was not a specialized term in the Eastern Wilderness, Chu Zuoshu indisputably harbored that mentality.


    And not just him; within the Divine Wood Sect, there were also quite a few who supported Zeng Woyou with this argument.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, your arrival is timely.¡±


    Chen Mobai had come to visit Chu Zuoshu, who was at that time vexed by this issue.


    ¡°Sect Leader, as you know, Minister Zeng has helped me a lot. If you ask me, I would definitely support him,¡±


    Chen Mobai declared his stance right after hearing the situation.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, he and Zeng Woyou were from the same faction.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s give him one last chance. Once may be a mistake, twice could be coincidence, but not three times. Go to the Alchemy Department and tell him that if this batch also fails to be refined properly, he can step down from his position as head of the Alchemy Department.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu still harbored some resentment toward Zeng Woyou for the lack of face given to him back then and decided to use this opportunity to settle the score once and for all.


    Chen Mobai had a good relationship with Zeng Woyou, and to avoid his friend from being targeted, he could only make the trip himself.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Junior Brother Chen. Actually, I had already succeeded with the second batch. It was just that I didn¡¯t handle the final pill condensation and cleansing step well, and the three Foundation Building Pills I produced became waste pills. Just give me one more chance, and I will definitely produce a proper batch of Foundation Building Pills,¡±


    Zeng Woyou didn¡¯t pay much attention to the possibility of being stripped of his position as head of the Alchemy Department after hearing the messages conveyed by Chen Mobai; after all, he was the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s number one alchemist. Even without an official position, the sect would still rely on him for the production of top-ranked elixirs.


    ¡°Oh? May I have a look at those waste pills?¡±


    No sooner had Chen Mobai finished speaking than Yan Jinye immediately handed over a jade box.


    As Zeng Woyou¡¯s disciple, she had assisted in concocting the Foundation Building Pills; she was involved in both failed batches.


    ¡°Though these are waste pills, the medicinal effects are still intact; it¡¯s just that the toxin levels exceed two or three percent. After consumption, even if one achieves Foundation Establishment, it would probably take more than a decade to expel the poison.¡±


    ¡°However, even as waste pills, if released into the markets outside, there would be Loose Cultivators willing to pay over a thousand Spirit Stones to purchase them,¡±


    ¡°Even within our sect, there have been quite a few of the older former true disciples who, through connections, have come seeking to exchange for these waste pills.¡±


    Zeng Woyou watched as Chen Mobai took out a Foundation Building Pill streaked with gray to examine it and began to defend himself, saying that his alchemy skills were no longer the issue; it was just the finer details of purifying the pill¡¯s toxins that remained.


    ¡°I see. If it¡¯s just an issue with the pill toxins, I actually have a good solution,¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then considering that once he achieved Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect would also be his sect and recalling the enormous expenditure the sect had made to concoct the Golden Liquid Jade Pill for him, he decided to share the method of Spiritual Cultivation to strengthen the sect.


    Another consideration was his desire to nurture Zeng Woyou.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, the highest grade of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water available was only Rank-2. After Core Formation, he would no longer be able to rely on it to quickly enhance his Spiritual Power and breakthrough realms. If he wanted to maintain rapid advancement in his cultivation, he would certainly need to start taking elixirs from the Eastern Wilderness.


    Even with the Flame Lighting Technique, which could purify pill toxins, there was a limit to what could be purified. Sharing the Spirit Cultivation Method with Zeng Woyou was also for his own sake.


    ¡°Let this matter be known only between you two, and do not divulge it to a third party.¡±


    Having traded an alchemy recipe for Yan Jinye¡¯s Longevity Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai felt he owed her, so he had her stay instead of leaving the room as she had intended.

    ¡°To think such a method exists¡­ This must be part of the heritage that allowed the Ancient Changsheng Sect to dominate the Tianhe Realm¡­ Don¡¯t worry, Junior Brother Chen. I will swear an oath upon my Dao Heart¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zeng Woyou was visibly excited. Being an alchemy enthusiast with no hope for Core Formation, he aspired to break through to a Rank-4 alchemist.


    With this Spirit Cultivation Method, he felt that the dim path ahead of him had been illuminated with a glimmer of light.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for the guidance. Such a great favor is difficult to repay. If you have any instructions in the future, just call upon me, and I will respond,¡±


    With her face slightly flushed, Yan Jinye¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement. After swearing her Dao Heart oath, she seemed eager to try out this Spirit Cultivation Method.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, as long as I remain head of the Alchemy Department, I will support all your proposals in the sect meetings with my vote, and if you ever wish to concoct any elixir, just command me. As long as I am free, I will prioritize your requests above all else.¡±

 Chapter 823 - Chapter 823 Chapter 466 Three Years_3

    Chapter 823: Chapter 466 Three Years_3 Chapter 823: Chapter 466 Three Years_3 After hearing Zeng Woyou¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, intending to have a few more drinks with him, but the former couldn¡¯t restrain himself and rushed toward the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Brother Chen, the Spirit Cultivation Method still needs to be tested with other elixirs first; I¡¯ll go help our master, so please sit¡­¡±


    Not just Zeng Woyou, Yan Jinye did the same. After saying those words, he followed his master¡¯s silhouette out the door.


    Chen Mobai watched as the hall emptied in an instant, couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, raised his hand to finish the clear tea in his cup, and then rose leisurely and returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Time flew by swiftly.


    After obtaining the Spirit Cultivation Method, Zeng Woyou, following several attempts, finally commenced the refining of the third batch of Foundation Building Pills.


    Because the standards in the Eastern Wilderness were different from those of the Immortal Gate, if the toxicity was less than half developed, it was considered a successful pill refinement.


    Having mastered the Spirit Cultivation Method, Zeng Woyou finally succeeded.


    From one batch, four pills were created, two were of superior quality, while the other two had slight imperfections, with the toxicity exceeding half.


    But for those in the Eastern Wilderness, this was already considered a decent accomplishment.


    After all, it was Zeng Woyou¡¯s first success. You must know that when the four Rank-3 alchemists from Back to Sky Valley first succeeded, even with Yan Shaoyin¡¯s guidance, they only managed two or three pills at most.


    Once Zeng Woyou succeeded, he immediately began to strut and, during the sect meeting, he slammed the four Foundation Building Pills forcefully onto the table, glaring at the heads of the Spirit Plant Department, Spirit Beast Department, Body Forging Department, and Talisman Making Department who had petitioned to stop his pill refining earlier.


    ¡°Zeng Brother¡¯s alchemy has greatly succeeded, truly a blessing for our sect.¡±


    Shi Fengping, the head of the Spirit Plant Department, was extremely pliable, and immediately started flattering Zeng Woyou, eliciting a snort from the latter.


    ¡°From now on, you won¡¯t get even a single one of my refined elixirs.¡±


    After hearing Zeng Woyou¡¯s pointed words, Shi Fengping and the others had embarrassed expressions. Eventually, it was Chu Zuoshu who coughed softly, smoothing over the situation.


    ¡°Now that the Foundation Building Pill has been refined, our sect will have to trouble Zeng Junior Brother to use the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms from now on.¡±


    Upon hearing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words, Zeng Woyou¡¯s face lit up with joy. To break through to a Rank-4 alchemist, his first requirement was to refine a large quantity of Rank-3 elixirs.


    And since Foundation Building Pills were the most frequently refined Rank-3 elixirs among the factions of the Eastern Wilderness, armed with the Spirit Cultivation Method, he just needed to persist in his efforts to refine them. Perhaps in his lifetime, he could actually try his hand at refining Rank-4 elixirs.


    ¡°Then, these two superior quality Foundation Building Pills will first be allocated to the sect¡¯s true disciples. As for the two flawed ones, after explaining the defect, we¡¯ll auction them off to the cultivator families who followed our Divine Wood Sect in the campaign to Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, as the Sect Leader, also finalized the distribution of this batch of Foundation Building Pills during the sect meeting.


    Everything was done according to the rules; naturally, it was unanimously passed.


    The top two true disciples in the sect were Li Yixian and Luo Yixuan.


    Luo Yixuan, who was in Xiao Nanshan accompanying Zhuo Ming in inducing rainfall on the Spirit Fields, trembled with excitement upon receiving the news from Divine Wood City, and her spell seal formula was so disrupted that several mu of Spirit Fields were flooded with rainwater.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Sister!¡±


    Luo Yixuan quickly reined in her spiritual power, stopped the Rainfall Technique, and kept apologizing to Zhuo Ming beside her.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll go sort it out. You should go and report this happy news to Master.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming was envious that Luo Yixuan had obtained a Foundation Building Pill, she still maintained her composure. After all, among the three of them, this little junior sister had the most outstanding Spiritual Root Talent. Over the years, she had always secured a spot in the top three true disciples, so getting the Foundation Building Pill had been within her expectations.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister. I¡¯ll go and tell our Master right away,¡± said Luo Yixuan.


    At this moment, Luo Yixuan dropped her usual pretense of modesty and elegance, her face glowing with excitement as she cheerfully rushed towards the summit of Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s true body had always been here, absorbed in drawing the dense Spiritual Energy and cultivating with Spirit Stones. He had just completed a cycle of his practice when he heard the noise outside and opened the Cloud Mist Array.


    ¡°Very good, I¡¯m very pleased,¡± he said.


    Upon hearing these words from Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan¡¯s face lit up with happiness, feeling that her years of hard work had been acknowledged and that she hadn¡¯t let her Master down.


    ¡°Do you have enough Sect Contribution Points?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Disciple has saved up more than three thousand over the years, still quite a few short,¡± Luo Yixuan replied, somewhat embarrassed, as she lowered her head.


    Chen Mobai asked the crucial question, and Luo Yixuan awkwardly bowed her head.


    ¡°I¡¯ll transfer ten thousand Contribution Points to you. Use them to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill. Then, use your own Contribution Points to get some Formation Spirit Talismans and other items from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion that will help with Foundation Establishment,¡± he said.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. That¡¯s too much, I only need to borrow seven thousand Contribution Points. I¡¯ve already gathered almost all the other supportive items for Foundation Establishment over the years,¡± Luo Yixuan replied.


    Luo Yixuan had accompanied Chen Mobai in his battles at Mountain Shaker Peak, and she had obtained quite a few spoils of war. After exchanging them for Spirit Stones, she had mostly used them to purchase Spiritual Objects for preparing to establish her foundation.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delay. I had already prepared the Contribution Points for the three of you to exchange for Foundation Building Pills. If you succeed in Foundation Establishment, you can repay me later; if you fail, consider it a gift from me,¡± he said.


    Chen Mobai smiled faintly and then took out his Sect Token, simultaneously sending a message to the other two disciples.


    Soon, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming also arrived.


    Upon disclosing the matter, both disciples showed excited expressions and bowed deeply to him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities. I hope that when I come out of seclusion next time, I¡¯ll see that all three of you have successfully established your foundations,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    After finishing his words, Chen Mobai waved his hand and took his three disciples, flying towards Divine Wood City.


    Over the years, he had sold Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace. Although the Contribution Points in his account had not increased much, he still had over fifty thousand.


    After allocating ten thousand to each disciple, Chen Mobai felt relieved about a matter that had been on his mind.


    He returned to Xiao Nanshan and continued to use Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, going into closed-door cultivation.


    Time flowed like water, and quickly two years had passed.

    One day, as Zhuo Ming was fussing over the ripe Green Jade Spirit Rice at the foot of the mountain, she suddenly felt the earth beneath her feet emanating a trembling fear.


    She immediately turned her head to look at the peak where her Master was in seclusion.


    A mirror had appeared in the sky at some point, reflecting the sunlight, resembling a proud sun, radiating a majestic Spiritual Power that made the ley lines of Xiao Nanshan tremble in fear.


    Looking directly at the sun formed by the mirror, Zhuo Ming felt an intense heat that she hadn¡¯t experienced since beginning her immortal cultivation. Her slightly yellow skin began to sweat, dampening her clothes.


    ¡°Has Master¡¯s divine power been fully realized?¡± she wondered.

 Chapter 824 - Chapter 824 Chapter 467 One Million Spirit Stones

    Chapter 824: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones Chapter 824: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes, and feeling the nearly overflowing liquid spiritual power within his dantian qi sea, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal a trace of satisfaction.


    With the support of the Immortal Gate¡¯s qi-replenishing spirit water, and the abundant spiritual energy from Xiao Nanshan, he had already reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment with the Pure Yang Scroll half a year ago.


    And the reason he had remained in seclusion was to focus on the critical aspect of Cultivating Pure Yang Body for Core Formation¨Cthe Pure Yang Daoist Body!


    Thanks to the continuous supply of intermediate-grade spirit stones over the past four years, his Pure Yang Daoist Body had finally reached the level of a Sixfold Yang Body.


    At the moment when the Sixfold Yang Body was accomplished, his lifespan artifact, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, burst forth with a brilliance unlike anything seen before.


    From then on, even though Chen Mobai had yet to form his core, he could unleash the full potential of this Rank-3 magic artifact.


    However, since the quality of his spiritual power still fell short of that of a Core Formation cultivator, maintaining full power from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was not sustainable for long.


    Even so, Chen Mobai was still extremely excited.


    After testing the power of his magic artifact, he took out a spirit-testing instrument from his storage bag, channeled a stream of his own spiritual power into it, and then glanced at the figures that appeared on the screen.


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 46, Water 17, Fire 81, Earth 14].


    When he saw the value for his Fire Spirit Root, an indescribable sense of elation surged within him.


    He remembered that before he obtained the Turtle Treasure, even though he practiced diligently every day after school, he still could not compare to those lazy geniuses in his class with dual spirit roots.


    The spiritual energy he desperately absorbed would only have a tenth or so converted into his Five Elements Spiritual Power, with the rest dissipating outside his body.


    But now, things were completely different.


    With each breath, over eighty percent of the spiritual energy would be condensed into his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    This was the speed of a Heavenly Spiritual Root!


    After surpassing 80 points in his Fire Spirit Root, Chen Mobai could finally assert with confidence that he was a genius.


    Even among the Four Great Daoist Sects, his current spirit root attributes were among the top tier.


    And for such accomplishments, Chen Mobai was very clear about what the key factor was.


    He glanced around the mat, at the floor inside the wooden hut, which was covered with dry intermediate-grade spirit stones¨Ca rough count of about three to four hundred pieces.


    However, even with these spirit stones to aid him, Chen Mobai still felt that his cultivation speed of the Pure Yang Daoist Body was a bit slow.


    According to his estimate, he should have accomplished the Sixfold Yang Body around the same time as reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment with the Pure Yang Scroll.


    In reality, the progress was half a year later than he expected.


    Yet if other cultivators who practiced the Pure Yang Scroll knew how quickly he had progressed his Pure Yang Daoist Body, they would probably feel unbalanced.


    After experiencing changes in his spiritual roots, Chen Mobai instinctively wanted to go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    However, when his divine sense had ventured out earlier, he saw Zhuo Ming at the foot of the mountain and decided to summon this second disciple up first.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was also full of joy upon seeing Chen Mobai and paid her respects to him.


    ¡°How is Xuan¡¯s seclusion progressing?¡±


    Chen Mobai stacked up the message talismans from outside the Cloud Mist Array, looking through them one by one while asking Zhuo Ming about his junior disciple¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Junior Sister, after receiving the Foundation Building Pill, has been over at Divine Wood City. There has been no news for the time being.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had used the Formless Puppet to deduce that Luo Yixuan had a greater than fifty percent chance of succeeding in Foundation Establishment, considering it was a step that could take one to the heavens, the usually confident Luo Yixuan was somewhat anxious and had been grinding for two years without sending any news.


    One wonders whether she has taken the Foundation Building Pill, or if she failed in her Foundation Establishment and does not have the face to come back?


    ¡°Never mind, let her be.¡±


    Chen Mobai had meticulously passed on all his Foundation Establishment insights and techniques like the spiritual power vortex to his three disciples. Now the transformative process after taking the Foundation Building Pill was something they had to face on their own; he could offer no further aid.


    ¡°Master, the fifty acres of Green Jade Spirit Rice have all matured, but because it is Rank-2 Spirit Rice, the harvesting puppets seem to have some trouble cutting them.¡±


    Zhuo Ming immediately spoke of her troubles. As Chen Mobai had succeeded with his Pure Yang Scroll and Sixfold Yang Body, he was in a good mood, so he went down the mountain for a visit.


    The roots and stalks of the Green Jade Spirit Rice were tough and thick, and the agricultural puppets used for harvesting Fire Spirit Rice had their blades nicked after a few harvests; even after Zhuo Ming had replaced them with new ones, they still didn¡¯t last long.


    ¡°It seems we will need to make some improvements in the future.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he uncorked the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist, and a tangerine glimmer like an orange thread swept horizontally left to right across the fields of spirit rice before him.


    As if sliced by an invisible blade, all the Green Jade Spirit Rice was neatly cut down, falling to the ground.


    What was left were tightly packed roots, forming large blocks on the surface of the spirit field.

    Zhuo Ming, seeing the almost miraculous display of sword qi by Chen Mobai, couldn¡¯t help but show an expression of shock.


    This was a level of sword dao realm she could never achieve.


    ¡°First collect the Green Jade Spirit Rice. Then put some of it up for sale in the store, and you guys take some for yourselves too. It¡¯s very beneficial for your cultivation of the Ninefold Law Body.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he grabbed a bunch of rice grains, then waved his hand to remove the husks, collecting a large bagful.


    While Zhuo Ming started summoning the ordinary folks from the Little South Mountain Territory to organize the Green Jade Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai took some of the newly harvested Rank-2 Spirit Rice and sought out Meng Hong.

 Chapter 825 - Chapter 825 Chapter 467 One Million Spirit Stones_2

    Chapter 825: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones_2 Chapter 825: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones_2 Without the support of the previous Sect Leader, his Green Jade Spirit Rice would not have grown so easily.


    Now that there are results, it¡¯s natural to make him happy as well.


    ¡°Very good, very good, I truly did not misjudge you.¡±


    Meng Hong, who was originally fishing, immediately put down his fishing rod upon hearing the news and personally used mountain spring water to cook the rice.


    The taste of Green Jade Spirit Rice is actually quite ordinary, a bit coarse and hard, but the spiritual energy contained within has indeed reached the Rank-2 level.


    Meng Hong, with the rice in his mouth, was so excited that his eyes turned moist.


    He knew very well what it meant for a sect to possess Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    Even during the peak times of the Five Elements Sect, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners who consumed Rank-2 Spirit Rice mostly acquired it through purchase from the large commerce associations beyond the Eastern Wilderness.


    It was precisely because they did not master the core techniques of planting Spirit Rice that the Divine Wood Sect and even the entire Eastern Wilderness ended up having their top-grade Spirit Stones plundered away by those commerce associations from outside the Eastern Wasteland.


    With this Green Jade Spirit Rice, Meng Hong had already envisioned the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of his sect, and even the Qi Cultivation True Disciples, growing stronger, enriching their vital essence, and breaking through realms more easily than they ever could.


    Meng Hong single-handedly devoured a whole pot of ordinary-tasting Green Jade Spirit Rice, and after he finished, he dragged Chen Mobai to see Old Ancestor Fu by the Everlife Wood.


    ¡°Very good, very good, this is a heavenly achievement for the sect!¡±


    Fu Zongjue saw even farther into the potential of the Green Jade Spirit Rice. He believed this was a method of cultivating spiritual plants from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, obtained by Chen Mobai from the Longevity Sect, and he was already hoping for even higher grade Spirit Rice.


    Only a sect that could master Rank-3 and Rank-4 Spirit Rice could continuously produce Nascent Soul Cultivators generation after generation.


    ¡°Go and call Chu Zuoshu.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, envisioning the future of Giant Tree Ridge filled with top-ranked Spirit Rice, felt his face flush and his mood thrilled, as a Golden Core Cultivator. He immediately wanted to convene the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to start promoting the cultivation of Green Jade Spirit Rice throughout the entire sect.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong immediately went to Shenmu Hall to convey the intentions of Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°What do you want? A complete Rank-2 Spirit Rice cultivation method, I feel even a million contribution points to the sect would not express your great contribution sufficiently.¡±


    Fu Zongjue held a handful of Green Jade Spirit Rice, looking at Chen Mobai with increasing satisfaction, wondering if Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s grave was emitting green smoke, how come their lineage has received such an outstanding disciple.


    ¡°Then let it be a million Spirit Stones, preferably all in top-grade ones, so there are fewer pieces and easier for a disciple to carry.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately took advantage of the situation, agreeing swiftly to Fu Zongjue¡¯s words.


    After all, he had intended to use the Green Jade Spirit Rice to improve the overall quality of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples.


    After all, once he reaches Core Formation, this would become his sect, and the stronger the sect¡¯s members, the more convenient it¡¯ll be to collect medicinals, ores, and the like.


    And besides, contribution points were not as tangible as Spirit Stones.


    With another hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, he would have the resources needed to cultivate his Pure Yang Daoist Body to the Eighth Yang Realm.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai remembered Zhou Shengqing mentioning that the sect was still in debt to the Old Ancestor by millions of contribution points.


    ¡°You sly dog, you¡¯re not shy at all.¡±


    Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t help but chuckle after hearing this.


    But since he had already spoken, he could only painfully take out a hundred crystal-clear top-grade Spirit Stones from his storage bag.


    ¡°Thank you for the generous reward, Old Ancestor. I will work even harder in the future and strive to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice through hybridization.¡±


    ¡°Eh? Did you produce this Rank-2 Spirit Rice yourself? It¡¯s not from the Longevity Sect?¡±


    Fu Zongjue expressed surprise after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s remark.


    ¡°Yes, from breeding, selection, to hybridization, everything was done by my disciples and me; this Green Jade Spirit Rice can be said to be the crystallization of ten years of effort from our Xiao Nanshan lineage.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the honest truth, realizing in hindsight that ten years had passed since Zhuo Ming joined his discipleship and the junior cultivator who once knew nothing had now become the pillar of the Xiao Nanshan lineage¡¯s cultivation of spiritual plants.


    ¡°You young man¡­¡±


    After listening, Fu Zongjue looked shockingly at him; he had thought Chen Mobai had directly taken the cultivation method from the Longevity Sect, not realizing it was self-developed from scratch.


    This fact deeply stunned him, a Golden Core Cultivator.


    In the lands of the Eastern Wilderness, there has never been such an innovative Spirit Plant Master!


    No wonder this young man was chosen by the Longevity Sect to enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It is only such an extraordinary talent that could pass the trials of longevity and become the Saint Heir of this ancient and powerful sect.


    ¡°While cultivating higher grade Spirit Rice is important, your next primary task is to complete Foundation Establishment and prepare for Core Formation.¡±


    After his initial shock, Fu Zongjue regained his senses and solemnly advised Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If such a genius were not in their own sect, he would, at all costs, even at the risk of his life and the entire sect¡¯s efforts, eradicate the threat.


    ¡°Reporting to the Old Ancestor, I have already achieved Foundation Establishment Completion!¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a slight smile, then demonstrated the Spiritual Power Fluctuation of Rank-2 in complete Foundation Establishment with the Flame Sword Charm using the Pure Yang Scroll. This scene further caused Fu Zongjue¡¯s jaw to drop in astonishment, unable to close for a long time.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, you¡¯re only thirty-four years old this year, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Fu Zongjue began to reminisce about what realm he was in at thirty-four years old. It seemed he was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, earnestly striving for a position as a True Disciple in the Five Elements Sect.

 Chapter 826 - Chapter 826 Chapter 467 One Million Spirit Stones_3

    Chapter 826: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones_3 Chapter 826: Chapter 467: One Million Spirit Stones_3 ¡°The support from the Sect is the reason for my rapid progress,¡± said Chen Mobai, flattering his master. Fu Zongjue sighed, returning from his deep reminiscences to reveal some unfortunate news.


    ¡°The methods of refining the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill are quite different from those in the Eastern Wilderness, perhaps due to ancient practices. Yan Shaoyin¡¯s first attempt at refining failed, and he¡¯s now gathering materials for the second batch. You may have to wait a few years,¡± he said.


    Chen Mobai came today mainly to inquire about this matter since he had already reached the ninth layer in both Wood Fire cultivation techniques and, with the aid of Meng Huang¡¯s breakthrough from the third to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment using Heartstring Mystical Sound, his Divine Sense had also improved to the ninth layer.


    After completing the Six Yang Body, all the conditions for Core Formation were met.


    He was just missing the crucial Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    ¡°Then I can only wait,¡± said Chen Mobai with a sigh. He had anticipated this; even the most skilled alchemists often failed on their first attempt at refining an unfamiliar system of elixirs.


    It was fortunate that they were in the Tianhe Realm. Back to Sky Valley and Divine Wood Sect, as major powers of the Eastern Wilderness with the first and second largest medicine fields, and with trade channels outside the Eastern Wilderness through several Commerce Associations, were helpful. Otherwise, even with an extra twenty years, Chen Mobai alone would probably be unable to collect the materials for one batch of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    The two then discussed the cultivation of Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    ¡°How long does this Spirit Rice take to mature?¡±


    ¡°This batch, being the first successful cultivation of a Rank-2 seed, took four and a half years to ensure maturity because of the meticulous care taken with fertilization. But based on my observations, as long as the soil vitality, humidity, and Spiritual Energy keep up, the maturity time can be reduced to about three and a half years. After all, this Green Jade Spirit Rice is just a lower-grade Rank-2,¡± explained Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai answered in detail all of Fu Zongjue¡¯s queries about the Green Jade Spirit Rice. If managed carefully, it could reach intermediate-grade Rank-2 quality. However, he believed it wasn¡¯t necessary to aim for that. Firstly, it was important to grow it in large quantities to ensure that the Foundation Establishment Practitioners and true disciples of the Sect could have access to it.


    If they wanted something high-end, there was Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice, which matured in six years and could ensure a crop of intermediate-grade Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    And the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, maturing in ten years, would be an upper-grade Rank-2.


    With this, Chen Mobai had single-handedly filled the gap in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivation methods for Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    Fu Zongjue was very satisfied, feeling that the one million Spirit Stones he had invested were well worth it.


    At that moment, Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong flew over.


    Before long, the heads of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions had all gathered in Divine Wood City.


    Xie Yuntian and others initially had a relaxed expression, but upon entering and seeing Fu Zongjue seated at the head, they all straightened up in reverence, quickly fixing their appearances and respectfully coming forward to greet him.


    ¡°This is the cultivation method for Rank-2 Green Jade Spirit Rice. From now on, all unused Rank-2 Spirit Fields within the Sect should be planted with this type of Spirit Rice. The Spirit Plant Department will lead this project, with the other departments cooperating to complete it,¡± Fu Zongjue declared.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Shi Fengping, head of the Spirit Plant Department, was delighted, not expecting such a fantastic opportunity to fall into his lap.


    With these words from Fu Zongjue, his Spirit Plant Department could now rank above the other departments, even having a legitimate reason to commandeer and use resources from other divisions.


    ¡°Disciple will certainly not disappoint the trust of the elder,¡± Shi Fengping said cheerfully, stepping forward. However, Jin Shanping, the deputy head of the Spirit Plant Department, thought of something and, seeing Chen Mobai beside Fu Zongjue, his expression changed.


    ¡°By the way, this Green Jade Spirit Rice cultivation method was completed by Nephew Chen. Before your Spirit Plant Department begins cultivation, consult him thoroughly,¡± Fu Zongjue added. He then emphasized further to ensure his subordinates would adhere to his directive, ¡°His words are equivalent to mine!¡±


    On hearing this, Shi Fengping¡¯s face looked as if stricken by great loss.

 Chapter 827 - Chapter 827 Chapter 468 Saint Embryo

    Chapter 827: Chapter 468: Saint Embryo Chapter 827: Chapter 468: Saint Embryo When Chen Mobai first cultivated Fire Spirit Rice, he wanted to sell it to the sect, but the Spirit Plant Department, citing insufficient budget, pleaded with the sect to deny the sale.


    Although there were reasons on both sides, it ultimately offended Chen Mobai.


    Subsequently, because of this incident, there was some contention between the two parties.


    If Chen Mobai had been a bit small-minded, after making significant contributions to the annihilation of Mountain Shaker Peak and now being valued by Elder Fu, he might have understood the Spirit Plant Department wanting to strike back for some revenge.


    After the sect meeting ended, Shi Fengping and Jin Shanping walked together with gloomy faces, discussing how to ease their relations with Chen Mobai, thinking of asking E Yun to step in.


    However, E Yun was now permanently stationed at Cloud Dream Ze and Yun Country, rarely returning to the sect. Even if he were willing, it was unrealistic to expect him to make a trip back just for this matter.


    Yet Chen Mobai was indifferent to these petty matters.


    He now regarded the Divine Wood Sect as his own, and the previous disputes with the Spirit Plant Department had almost been completely forgotten by him.


    After leaving the Shenmu Hall, he headed straight to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Within the hissing sounds,


    the petite and exquisite Devouring Heaven Serpent coiled continuously around his arm.


    Over the years, he would occasionally come here to feed the serpent Spirit Stones, and it had now grown into a Rank-1 intermediate grade demonic beast.


    But its appearance hadn¡¯t changed much; it was still very small.


    ¡°You need to grow up quickly.¡±


    Chen Mobai now had a strong incentive to feed the Devouring Heaven Serpent, not only because of the responsibility he felt but also with the hope that it might condense a drop of Azure Dragon¡¯s Blood.


    Hiss hiss hiss¡­


    The Devouring Heaven Serpent flicked its tongue out and licked his earlobe, sending a chilly sensation that caused Chen Mobai to shiver slightly.


    ¡°[Hungry¡­ Eat¡­]¡±


    Since Chen Mobai had made a contract with the Devouring Heaven Serpent, after the latter had grown, they could conduct simple exchanges through their Heart and Mind connection.


    Sensing its conveyed thoughts, Chen Mobai immediately took out a Low-grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag to feed it.


    After swallowing the Spirit Stone, the serpent conveyed a sense of contentment.


    It then transformed into a black ring and hung on Chen Mobai¡¯s right ear, resembling a dark, elegant earring, adding a mysterious and somber quality to his appearance.


    Touching the Devouring Heaven Serpent on his earlobe, Chen Mobai looked around and saw that most of the leaves within the territory he had designated for it had been eaten clean.


    Now, the leaves of ordinary Red-sun Spirit Trees were no longer useful for its growth.


    Chen Mobai considered whether he should move it to a Qingyang Spirit Tree to set up a new home, but then thought that a Qingyang Spirit Tree had so few leaves that it would probably only last a month at most.


    It seemed that he couldn¡¯t let it roam free as before.


    Conveniently, a batch of Green Jade Spirit Rice had just matured, which could be mixed with Yubud Lingmi to continue feeding it for growth.


    Although the Devouring Heaven Serpent couldn¡¯t be openly acknowledged in Immortal Gates, it was quite common in the Eastern Wilderness, and if he didn¡¯t have time, Chen Mobai could also have his disciples help with the feeding.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai, with the Devouring Heaven Serpent earring on his ear, walked towards his destination, the Talent Tree.


    With a familiar touch, Chen Mobai had expected to receive a different Spell, but to his surprise, everything went dark in front of him, and his Divine Sense seemed to be pulled into a mysterious crimson space.


    Where was this?


    Chen Mobai stood in confusion, intending to use Turtle Treasure to return to town, when different lights illuminated in front of him and then transformed into a series of mysterious, tangible phantasms.


    ¡°[Pure Spiritual Power, Immortal Grade.]¡±


    ¡°[Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, Immortal Grade.]¡±


    ¡°[Extraordinary Divine Sense, Immortal Grade.]¡±


    ¡°[Overall evaluation, Immortal Grade Talent; eligible to learn one of the five Immortal Scriptures of Longevity Sect. Please select, Saint Heir.]¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the lines of text that appeared in this mysterious space and couldn¡¯t help but feel elated. He hadn¡¯t imagined that achieving an Immortal Grade in Essence, Qi, and Spirit would grant him access to the true inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    He wondered which of the five Immortal Scriptures he should choose.


    While pondering, Chen Mobai turned his eyes to the mysterious manifestations that appeared in this space.


    At the highest position was a five-colored radiance, with twenty-four different phantasms beneath, shifting into shapes like leaves, Flames, Lances, and more.


    ¡°This must be the Longevity Sect¡¯s five Immortal Scriptures and twenty-four Grand Spells!¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled all the information he knew about the Longevity Sect and made an accurate judgment.


    But the problem was, he knew nothing about the inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    He couldn¡¯t just rely on luck to pick one randomly.


    Fortunately, the restrictions on this inheritance from the Longevity Sect seemed to only retain the most basic operational rules. As long as Chen Mobai didn¡¯t make a choice, there was no urge to hurry.


    As time passed, Chen Mobai had looked at all the specific manifestations represented by the five Immortal Scriptures and twenty-four Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect¡¯s inheritance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The key should be the color.


    The five Immortal Scriptures should correspond to the Five Elements, and the aura of the twenty-four Grand Spells also supported Chen Mobai¡¯s guess.


    The green of the leaves, the crimson of the Flames, the shining gold of the Lances, all represented the hues of the Five Elements.


    Then the two Immortal Scriptures of use to Chen Mobai were the wood and fire elements.


    Among these, Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll was already a top-tier Immortal Gate technique aimed directly at the Spirit Transformation Stage of the fire attribute, so he did not need a similar one.

 Chapter 828 - Chapter 828 Chapter 468 Saint Embryo_2

    Chapter 828: Chapter 468 Saint Embryo_2 Chapter 828: Chapter 468 Saint Embryo_2 Although the Wood Attribute cultivation technique wasn¡¯t of much use to him, after forming his Golden Core with the Dual Phase Art, his Longevity Scripture would be transformed into nourishment for the Pure Yang Scroll.


    But this Immortal Scripture of the Wood Attribute would definitely be of great use to the Divine Wood Sect.


    What was most critical was the green radiance representing the Wood Attribute, situated at the very top of the five Immortal Scriptures.


    Upon further contemplation, considering that the Longevity Sect revered wood above all else, this was surely the best choice.


    Once he had understood, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated, and extended his right hand to grasp the cluster of green radiance that resembled a great tree.


    Subsequently, the green great tree transformed into flowing light, dispersing from the palm of his hand.


    A Green Leaf Talisman suddenly lit up on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, a mark that he had received after passing the Longevity Sect¡¯s trial.


    After the mark appeared, the flowing light from the green great tree seemed to find its target, continuously merging into the Green Leaf Talisman on his forehead.


    Streams of text, series of images, and sentences of heavenly music began to surface in Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the vast inheritance of knowledge causing him a slight headache, as it was somewhat overwhelming.


    How much time had passed, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, but he had already emerged from the inheritance space of the Longevity Sect. He opened his eyes, finding himself once again in front of the Talent Tree.


    Withdrawing his hand from the great tree, Chen Mobai took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and looked at his own face.


    As expected, the Green Leaf Talisman on his forehead was clearly visible.


    Chen Mobai touched it with his hand, but there was no particular feeling.


    However, he knew that this was the marker of his identity as an inheritor of the Longevity Sect.


    In his mind, a vast library of scriptures slowly passed through, one of the five Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect, ¡°Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture¡±.


    The main technique of the Divine Wood Sect, the Immortality Granting Scripture, originated from this very text.


    However, compared to the Immortality Granting Scripture, which only allowed cultivation up to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture aimed directly at Divinity Transformation.


    But the requirements to cultivate the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture were also incredibly high, necessitating a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.


    Furthermore, during cultivation, one needed to raise a Destiny Spirit Plant and use it to draw the essence from heaven and earth to nourish oneself in order to cultivate the Longevity Technique and attain an undying body!


    The grade of this Destiny Spirit Plant is crucial to the cultivator¡¯s future prospects with this Immortal Scripture.


    If the Spirit Plant could only grow to Rank-3, then even with a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, one¡¯s cultivation would be limited to the Golden Core Realm in this lifetime.


    Within the Ancient Longevity Sect, practitioners generally used the Everlife Wood as their Destiny Spirit Plant, which could grow to Rank-5.


    That is to say, it could perfectly complement the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and directly aim for Divinity Transformation.


    Yet Chen Mobai thought of the Green Paulownia Seedling he had cultivated within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, a Spirit Plant that could level up indefinitely.


    However, in an environment like that of the Immortal Gate, the Green Paulownia Seedling could at most grow to be a Fourth Grade Superior.


    But its potential was undeniable, limitless.


    Back when he had received this gift at the Red Dawn Institution, Chen Mobai had considered nurturing the Green Paulownia Seedling into a Fourth Grade Biyu Wutong, leveraging the abundant Spiritual Energy from the Tianhe Realm.


    Now, with the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture in his possession, his desire to do so had grown even stronger.


    However, after giving it careful thought, he shook his head with a wry smile.


    With the foundation of his Pure Yang Scroll already set, his Longevity Spiritual Power would soon be completely devoured by the Pure Yang Spiritual Power during Core Formation. Even with the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and the Green Paulownia Seedling, it would be nothing more than an illusory dream for him.


    Chen Mobai thought of Yin Qingmei; she was indeed a perfect match.


    But whether it would actually be suitable still required confirmation by Zhou Shengqing or Fu Zongjue, after a proper examination.


    After all, the environment of the ancient and present Tianhe Realm was quite different. The Immortal Scriptures of the ancient times might already be unpracticable in the present.


    And since the Immortality Granting Scripture of the Divine Wood Sect originated from the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, it was clear that Ancestor Hunyuan or True Lord Yuan had also entered the inheritance space of the Talent Tree.


    Since they had adapted the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture into the Immortality Granting Scripture, there are obviously considerations that Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t aware of; he also wondered if Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue knew about this fact.


    While pondering these things, Chen Mobai looked up at the Talent Tree once more, then mounted his Escaping Light and flew towards the Great Dao Tree.


    With his divine sense and spiritual power both at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, the trial of the Great Dao Tree that lay before him was, for Chen Mobai, merely a cause for slightly quicker breathing.


    As he took the thirteenth step, the pressure on Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense and body vanished without a trace.


    A sense of vastness and utter silence brought him such comfort that he couldn¡¯t help but let out a contented sigh.


    But he waited and waited, and still, there was no reaction from the Great Dao Tree to signify his successful crossing.


    Chen Mobai found this odd. Just like before at the Talent Tree, he reached out and touched the rough tree bark of the Great Dao Tree, crisscrossed with scars.


    At last, the familiar response appeared.


    [Thirteen steps before the Great Dao Tree, result: Immortal Grade.]


    Upon hearing this, a pleased smile spread across Chen Mobai¡¯s face. With his Immortal Grade evaluation, he had received the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture from the Talent Tree. Could this even more formidable Great Dao Tree grant him something else?


    As he was preparing to make his choice, the next message from the Great Dao Tree projected into his Sea of Knowledge, leaving him completely puzzled.


    [You may become the Saint Embryo for our Longevity Sect.]


    Saint Embryo? What does that mean? An even higher rank of disciple than Saint Heir?


    While Chen Mobai was lost in confusion, the Great Dao Tree seemed to detect his doubts, and it projected a third message to explain.


    [The ¡°Saint Embryo¡± is the vessel chosen for a Heavenly Sovereign to undergo reincarnation trials. As a disciple of our Sect, this is the highest honor one can achieve!]


    Stuff your honor!


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression drastically changed. Although he had grown up among the Immortal Gates, he had watched enough TV dramas to understand what reincarnation trials and vessels meant.


    So it turns out that the Longevity Sect¡¯s way to treat its most gifted disciples is to directly use them as vessels for the upper echelons to take over their bodies!


    No wonder this damned sect was eradicated in ancient times!


    Damn it!


    As Chen Mobai cursed inwardly, he turned to leave the domain of the Great Dao Tree.


    But at that moment, an overwhelmingly powerful force emerged, enveloping him completely. Then a dark rift opened in the middle of the Great Dao Tree, like a portal to the abyss, ready to drag him inside.


    [The Saint Embryo requires purification through Divine Liquid and must be infused with the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s spiritual sense. Please proceed for the ¡°Divine Liquid Purification¡± and ¡°Soul Sensing Enlightenment.¡±]


    Another message appeared in his Sea of Knowledge, and Chen Mobai finally understood the meaning of ¡°Divine Liquid Purification¡± and ¡°Soul Sensing Enlightenment.¡± Luckily, he had wisely opted out of these last time.


    Otherwise, he might have already been processed into an unconscious vessel.


    Boom!


    In the palm of his hand, a dazzling red brilliance flared up. The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror unleashed its most powerful energy in an instant. A column of Pure Yang Fire surged up like a pillar reaching the heavens, accompanied by a thunderous roar as it poured into the dark rift in the Great Dao Tree.


    But a Rank-3 magic artifact was just too insignificant against a Rank-4 Great Dao Tree.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s all-out effort with the Pure Yang Fire was devoured in an instant, and afterward, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield began to distort and shatter under the strain.


    As the light of his Lifespan Artifact grew dimmer and dimmer, Chen Mobai finally pulled out the Purple Electric Sword from his Storage Bag.


    ¡°Free me from the clutches of this demon tree, and I¡¯ll pay any amount of spirit stones!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, desperate to survive, could no longer afford to be wasteful and immediately offered the Purple Electric Sword the highest price without limits.


    The Purple Electric Sword, which had been appearing lazy and lackluster, burst forth with unprecedented dazzling purple radiance upon hearing his words.


    [This demon tree is of the same rank as me, but I have an attribute advantage over it!]


    The Purple Electric Sword conveyed this thought, and suddenly the sky filled with dense clouds. A thick bolt of purple lightning flashed, caught by the towering sword that had risen into the sky, transforming into a colossal purple light sword that split through the darkness, slicing heavily into the black rift in the middle of the Great Dao Tree.


    The clash of the two most powerful forces Chen Mobai had ever encountered pushed him far back.


    [Return to city!]


    Having broken free from the bind of the Great Dao Tree, Chen Mobai used the last of his strength to activate the Turtle Treasure.

 Chapter 829 - Chapter 829 Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu

    Chapter 829: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu Chapter 829: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu Amidst the shimmering silver light, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate.


    Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar white walls, the very walls of the apartment he rented near the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Raising his hand, a sword artifact gleamed with purple brilliance, flying out from his cuff and circling around him endlessly.


    ¡°I really owe you one this time.¡±


    Chen Mobai softly said to the Purple Electric sword, naturally not forgetting to take it back with him when he was teleported back.


    [You are my master, and this is my duty¡­ well¡­ that thing¡­]


    The Purple Electric sword conveyed a thought, and by the end, it was clearly hinting at something.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard too. How many Spirit Stones will it take this time?¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly, asking in line with its implication.


    [That Demon Tree was somewhat powerful, and the depletion of my elemental energy is quite significant, at the very least, I should be compensated with an entire Spirit Stone.]


    After receiving the intent conveyed by the Purple Electric sword, the wealthy Chen Mobai immediately threw two Top-grade Spirit Stones to it.


    ¡°Consider the extra one a reward for you.¡±


    [Thank you, Master!]


    The Purple Electric sword fluctuated lightly with violet arcs as it joyfully took away the two Top-grade Spirit Stones.


    Having completed this task, Chen Mobai sat in silent thought for a while.


    His knowledge of the Longevity Sect was too scarce; he knew it was an ancient major sect that had dispersed after surviving numerous calamities.


    The Five Great Immortal Scriptures and twenty-four Grand Spells were information he got after multiple attempts to probe the Great Dao Tree and the Talent Tree.


    He wondered what status this so-called Heavenly Sovereign held within the Longevity Sect?


    Right, this Secret Realm of the Divine Wood Sect was inherited from the Five Elements Sect; therefore, Ancestor Hunyuan must know something about it.


    Moreover, according to the sect archives, the True Lord Yuan once transplanted three Everlife Woods, which are now the three Divine Trees of Giant Tree Ridge, from a certain Immortal Secret Realm to cultivate the ¡°Longevity Technique.¡±


    This so-called Immortal Secret Realm is likely the same Divine Tree Secret Realm now inherited by the Divine Wood Sect.


    Gauging by the phenomenal talent enabling True Lord Yuan to achieve Ascendance, theoretically, he should have been able to become the Saint Embryo, a vessel for the Heavenly Sovereign.


    Taking into account the legend that True Lord Yuan only began to distinguish himself after receiving the heritage of an ancient cultivator and ultimately ascended, riding a dragon,


    Chen Mobai entertained a bold speculation.


    Could it be that True Lord Yuan was parasitized by this so-called Heavenly Sovereign of the Longevity Sect, enabling him to become the only Ascended Monk in the Tianhe Realm in the past ten thousand years?


    The thought alone made Chen Mobai¡¯s expression turn grave.


    If things really were as such, then the waters of the Five Elements Sect and even the Eastern Wasteland were deeper than he had imagined.


    However, this was the worst-case scenario; it¡¯s also possible that due to the passage of time, this so-called Heavenly Sovereign of the Longevity Sect had long since passed away in meditation.


    Or alternatively, the spirit consciousness of the Heavenly Sovereign became weak from the erosion of time, and instead, it was True Lord Yuan who devoured it, using it as nourishment for his Ascendance.


    Either way, it was necessary to communicate with the two ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect. As it was evident from the Longevity Scripture being derived from the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, at least one lineage of the Five Elements Sect had entered the Talent Tree just like him, gaining the Five Great Immortal Scriptures.


    However, the Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation would still take some time, so Chen Mobai checked the time and, after a long absence, decided to go to class at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    On the way there, he made a point of checking Yan Bingxuan¡¯s schedule, found that they finished class at the same time, and was planning to invite her for dinner when suddenly Fu Borong called him.


    Chen Mobai: [Hello, Teacher Fu.]


    Fu Borong: [Are you at school?]


    Chen Mobai: [Yes, I am.]


    Fu Borong: [There¡¯s been an issue with the Formless Puppet¡¯s calculations at the Daoist Academy yesterday; can you help fix it? Are you available?]


    Chen Mobai: [Sure, I¡¯ll come over after my class.]


    Fu Borong: [Come as soon as possible; the Head is waiting.]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was startled.


    All the heads of the Four Great Daoist Sects were Nascent Soul Superiors, and the head of the Repairing Heaven Institute was the particularly renowned Elder Yuanxu, said to be the closest being to achieving Divinity Transformation.


    Such an esteemed figure as Elder Yuanxu was concerned about a trivial matter like the Formless Puppet?


    Chen Mobai, shocked, did not dare to delay; since he had not yet gone to class, he simply took out his Formless Puppet and headed for the classroom, while he himself went to Fu Borong¡¯s office.


    Upon seeing him, Fu Borong also let out a sigh of relief, then wasted no time and immediately took him to the laboratory where the Formless Puppet was kept.


    ¡°Teacher Fu, did the Head just come out of closed-door cultivation?¡±


    On the way, Chen Mobai probed.

    ¡°You should know about the Foundation Establishment treasure, right?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Fu Borong did not answer directly but instead asked a question that greatly puzzled Chen Mobai. The latter nodded; in the past, he had managed to gain quite a few resources from the wealthy student sister Shen Juanxiu using his Foundation Establishment treasure quota.


    His entrance into the Talisman Technique relied on that exchange.


    ¡°The Foundation Establishment treasure is actually an imperfect product. The project was originally named ¡®Realm Treasure,¡¯ and in theory, it should be able to be used for breakthroughs at every major or even minor realm.¡±


    ¡°But due to the limited resources of the sect and the need to utilize the Calculation Power of the Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s Fifth-Order Heavenly Calculation Bead, we could only first create the Foundation Establishment treasure. It was with this achievement that the Head could continue to mobilize resources from all sides to research ¡®Realm Treasure.¡¯

 Chapter 830 - Chapter 830 Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu_2

    Chapter 830: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu_2 Chapter 830: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu_2 ¡°The source of this ¡®Realm Artifact¡¯ is none other than the Formless Puppet you¡¯re quite familiar with,¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show shock on his face. He had not expected that Elder Yuanxu had been researching this project over the years.


    If it could indeed be completed, it would no doubt be another huge push for the Immortal Gate.


    Within the Immortal Gate now, the stage of Foundation Establishment has basically been thoroughly explored.


    If the later stages of Core Formation, ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, and even Divinity Transformation could be precisely predicted, then with the depth of cultivators in the Immortal Gate, it might even lead to a major explosion of breakthroughs by top-ranked cultivators.


    However, further thinking made Chen Mobai realize that even if that were the case, due to the scarcity of resources on Di Yuan Star, things would probably remain the same, with only a slight improvement at most.


    After all, even now with the Foundation Establishment Artifact, those who are supposed to fail will still fail.


    The difference is that previously one would fail amidst confusion but still harbored a glimmer of hope during the breakthrough, whereas now one would know they¡¯re fated to fail even before attempting Foundation Establishment, making it even more disheartening.


    But after thinking it through once more, if the Realm Artifact were truly successfully researched, it would unquestionably be more beneficial than disadvantageous for the cultivators of the Immortal Gate.


    Many cultivators, who originally had fifty-fifty chances of Foundation Establishment, could take the opportunity presented by this predictive device to pinpoint their deficiencies and defects in their breakthrough efforts, thus defying the heavens and changing their fate.


    However, for those cultivators who truly have no chance of breaking through, this would be useless.


    After all, the Realm Artifact was not meant for them in the first place.


    At least, the Foundation Establishment Artifact that the Immortal Gate commonly utilizes is mainly for the students of the Four Great Daoist Sects and the Ten Great Academies. If there are any overlooked talents in the Bai Er Shi Fu, heads of their academies might help apply for its use.


    The Immortal Gate would not afford those who are beyond help the chance to use the Realm Artifact.


    After all, resources on Di Yuan Star are too precious.


    But after learning of this, Chen Mobai¡¯s heart started pounding with excitement.


    He had just completed the Ninth Layer of the Pure Yang Scroll for Foundation Establishment. Could he perhaps use this Realm Artifact to simulate his chances of successfully forming his Core?


    With such thoughts, he grew even more eager for his upcoming meeting with Elder Yuanxu.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Soon enough, Fu Borong led Chen Mobai to an underground laboratory. He opened the door to a sealed space, and a rich stream of Spiritual Energy greeted them.


    By Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, this was at least Rank-4 Spiritual Energy.


    Only a project overseen by a Nascent Soul Superior could boast such extravagance.


    He followed Fu Borong into changing into a white lab coat designed for research, passed through a glass-lined corridor, opened another small door, and entered into a vast oval-shaped space.


    Inside were five people, among them a faceless puppet stood at the center.


    When Chen Mobai entered, the four people beside the Formless Puppet all turned to look. He recognized two of them; they were Ding Chundzhi and Chen Chun.


    The only one who didn¡¯t look back was a middle-aged man with a bald head.


    Fu Borong respectfully approached him and called out, ¡°Headmaster.¡±


    So he was Elder Yuanxu.


    Chen Mobai quickly bowed his head in greeting as well.


    ¡°Hmm, come over and take a look. It seems there are quite a few issues; it¡¯s stopped functioning,¡±


    Turning around, Elder Yuanxu appeared to be an average-looking middle-aged man with a pair of flat glasses, stubble on his face, and an unkempt appearance. But most striking was his shiny bald head at the center of his hair.


    Based purely on appearance, one would never guess he was the leading scientific mind within the Immortal Gate.


    After nodding, Chen Mobai immediately moved over to his side and began examining the Formless Puppet.


    It seemed to have been replicated by the Repairing Heaven Institute following the designs, but the person who had worked on it was clearly a master. They had substituted some materials without affecting the functionality.


    As Chen Mobai continued his inspection, he found that many internal components of the Formless Puppet seemed to have undergone a high-temperature burning; they were beginning to liquefy, and the fragile bionics materials had even turned black and shriveled.


    ¡°This probably can¡¯t be repaired. It¡¯s completely wrecked,¡±


    Anyway, with Chen Mobai¡¯s level of knowledge, even if he were to repair it, he estimated that he would have to replace about eighty to ninety percent of the components of this Formless Puppet, which basically amounted to making a new one.


    ¡°It seems that simulating the ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ process is still not feasible,¡± he said.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s assessment, Elder Yuanxu shook his head with a bit of regret. Mobai twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, finally understanding why this Formless Puppet had become like this.


    ¡°Although the Formless Puppet is a Third-Rank Peak puppet, the process of ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ is an evolution from the third to the fourth rank. Even if it were possible to simulate this process, the materials of the puppet would definitely be unable to withstand it,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Actually, he had previously secretly wondered whether he could use a Formless Puppet to simulate and deduce his own Core Formation process.


    After all, with sufficient spiritual energy, the Formless Puppet could achieve the strength of a Rank-3, but due to the lack of theory and relevant operating experience, this was just an idea.


    Unexpectedly, Elder Yuanxu had already put it into action, and the results were quite remarkable.


    ¡°The Immortal Gate refuses to approve the materials for Rank-4, so it seems we can only bring out the Realm Treasure¡¯s simulation of Core Formation to see if we can persuade Leading Star Ancestor to intervene and exert some pressure,¡± Elder Yuanxu said, not minding that Chen Mobai was present, speaking very directly.


    Fu Borong, on the other hand, felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing this.


    ¡°How long will it take to repair this one?¡±


    At that moment, Elder Yuanxu pointed to a corner on the wall. A glass door rose up, revealing another damaged Formless Puppet.


    However, this one had only about a dozen parts burnt out. With some effort from Chen Mobai, it could be fixed in roughly one day and one night.


    ¡°This one broke during the simulation of Core Formation.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi walked over and explained to Chen Mobai, as Elder Yuanxu had already taken out another intact Formless Puppet and started to attempt the simulation of Core Formation with a few others.


    ¡°You divination experts, how did you also join this project?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite surprised to see Ding Chundzhi and Chen Chun here.


    After all, scientific research is a very serious and material matter, completely different from their idealistic ways.


    ¡°By utilizing the Formless Puppet¡¯s deduction of cultivation techniques, along with the wondrous calculation of the Divine Machine Powers from the Antiquity Daoist System, and the integration with the Guidance Book of Repairing Heaven Institute, we have the three theoretical foundations of the Realm Treasure,¡± Ding Chundzhi said, pointing at Chen Chun to indicate that she was mainly responsible.


    ¡°This girl, when I asked her to calculate a divination for me before, she was coy, saying something like she only does three divinations a day and wouldn¡¯t do it without fate¡­¡± Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but complain. If the Realm Treasure really did come to fruition, wouldn¡¯t The Divine Machine Mansion be performing divinations for all the High-Order Cultivators at Foundation Establishment Completion in the whole Immortal Gate?


    ¡°Elder Yuanxu personally invited her over, she couldn¡¯t refuse. You, the leading disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, also came to study, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different for me; I wanted to come on my own.¡±


    Chen Mobai made it clear that he was actively invited, but speaking of which, he finally realized why Fu Borong, with his status, would come to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to invite him to study.


    It was likely that Elder Yuanxu was also behind this.


    Possibly from the moment he placed an order for the Rank-3 Core Chip for his Formless Puppet, he had already been included in the plans for this project.


    If he hadn¡¯t accepted the invitation, there would probably have been many more schemes waiting for him.


    Had he known this, he would¡¯ve insisted a bit longer; maybe he would¡¯ve gotten more benefits.


    Chen Mobai was, after all, keen on the Pure Yang Qi left by the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say she is a disciple of the Leading Star Ancestor? In theory, shouldn¡¯t she be a junior to Elder Yuanxu? Is it because she couldn¡¯t refuse face-to-face, that¡¯s why she came?¡±


    At that moment, while Chen Mobai was disassembling the Formless Puppet, he also pointed to Chen Chun, who looked utterly fatigued, and asked Ding Chundzhi.


    ¡°It¡¯s different, Elder Yuanxu is the personal successor to the Leading Star Ancestor, perhaps the next Huashen Ancestor, while Uncle Chen Chun is a disciple inheriting the karma of The Divine Machine Mansion, and their paths will diverge and surely separate in the future,¡± Ding Chundzhi whispered. This was also why his master, Meihua Superior, would not acknowledge herself as a descendant of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    Therefore, once Elder Yuanxu spoke, Chen Chun had no choice but to come and assist him in developing the Realm Treasure.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt relieved that he was from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which also had the support of the Huashen Ancestor. However powerful Repairing Heaven Institute was, they had to approach him with soft tactics.

 Chapter 831 - Chapter 831 Chapter 470 The New Dojo

    Chapter 831: Chapter 470: The New Dojo Chapter 831: Chapter 470: The New Dojo Chen Mobai found that Ding Chundzhi was a bit of a chatterbox, so he chatted with him for a while longer.


    As they talked, he realized that Ding Chundzhi¡¯s progress with the Guidance Book was nearing entry-level mastery.


    Considering his own progress, which was nearly stagnant, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but lament why the Immortal Gate didn¡¯t have a technique to increase one¡¯s comprehension.


    However, his mindset was also very balanced, as he instructed Ding Chundzhi to move parts and repair the Formless Puppet while also inquiring about the Domain Treasure.


    ¡°Do you also want to try out your own? Since you¡¯re helping with the repair of the Formless Puppet, Elder Yuanxu definitely won¡¯t treat you unfairly. You can provide your own personal template and write an application. Once it¡¯s imported, you can just wait in line.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a wait?¡±


    ¡°Each simulation of Core Formation consumes a top-grade Spirit Stone. Elder Yuanxu only has access to about a hundred such stones a year, so every Core Formation simulation must be undertaken with utmost caution. Ahead of me in line are Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators from the Repairing Heaven Institute like Lou Fengcheng. Helping out with divining here, I¡¯ve just barely managed to try twice.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi recounted his experiences, and Chen Mobai curiously asked him about the details of the Core Formation simulation, but Ding Chundzhi shook his head with a rueful expression.


    ¡°The Domain Treasure is not yet perfect and can¡¯t incorporate Gold Core Spiritual Materials like the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, so during simulation, we can only rely on the original probability of forming our own Core Formation, and I¡¯ve failed both times.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a shiver of apprehension.


    Ding Chundzhi had been at Foundation Establishment Completion for many years, known as the poster child of the Astral Observation Academy, and was considered one of the chosen cultivators of the Immortal Gate.


    It was unexpected that even for him, Core Formation was so difficult.


    ¡°If you had the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, do you think you could succeed?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, but I can¡¯t be completely confident. I hope to simulate at least one successful Core Formation in the Domain Treasure, so that if I take the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, the core formation would be almost certain.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought this made a lot of sense.


    However, because of various reasons, the values of his Spirit Root attributes were somewhat too robust compared to the average cultivator of the Immortal Gate, and he didn¡¯t dare show them to Elder Yuanxu.


    Yet he was very eager to try the Domain Treasure. What should he do?


    Should he try to forge a ¡°normal¡± personal template or take matters into his own hands, to be well-fed and well-clothed!


    As Chen Mobai was contemplating, Fu Borong approached him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard repairing the Formless Puppet. The Principal asked if you want to give the Domain Treasure simulation a try; he¡¯s prepared to give you this opportunity.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and could only nod in agreement.


    Ding Chundzhi, listening from the side, was full of envy.


    Fu Borong took Chen Mobai to import his personal template, and after contemplating, Chen Mobai ended up using the Five Elements properties of a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root after cultivating the Pure Yang Body.


    Even so, at over thirty years old and having achieved the Six Yang state, he still caused great surprise among those present.


    Even Elder Yuanxu raised an eyebrow slightly.


    ¡°Have you opened the Golden Core Domain yet?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve only just reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment this year and haven¡¯t applied yet.¡±


    Chen Mobai promptly replied, and Elder Yuanxu nodded, then remarked,


    ¡°I hope you¡¯ll be successful when establishing the foundation.¡±


    After saying this, Elder Yuanxu no longer spoke and focused on tinkering with the Formless Puppet in his hands, while Chen Mobai dared not ask further questions.


    In a short while, Chen Mobai¡¯s personal template was imported, and a top-grade Spirit Stone was placed inside. The Formless Puppet¡¯s left eye, modified by the Guidance Book, began to flicker with strands of golden light.


    This was a sign that the Guidance Book was in operation, and it was only then that Chen Mobai realized all the Formless Puppets¡¯ artificial eyes had been modified.


    At last, Chen Chun, standing to the side, covered his right eye with his hand.


    The Formless Puppet¡¯s right eye also turned silver, apparently connected to Chen Chun¡¯s vision.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡±


    With these words from Elder Yuanxu, the modified Formless Puppet began to emit a crimson light¨Cindicative of the Core Formation phase of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s personally forged template was already among the best in the Immortal Gate, so the process of Core Formation lasted quite a while, but without the aid of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, the attempt ultimately failed.


    ¡°This is quite good already. You¡¯ve at least condensed a Solid Pill, but because Divine Sense couldn¡¯t take control, you¡¯ve been just shy of success.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi consoled him from the side. In his first simulation attempt, he¡¯d only formed a Void Pill and failed due to insufficient Spiritual Power. It was only on the second try that he turned the Void Pill into a Solid Pill, same as Chen Mobai. Once again, his Divine Sense failed to complete the transformation and couldn¡¯t grasp the Spiritual Power of the Core Formation, leading to another failure.

    ¡°The body did not show any clear signs of collapse and could withstand the Core Formation process; although the Spiritual Power was somewhat unstable, it¡¯s because you¡¯ve just broken through to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, which should become more pure and substantial in ten or twenty years. The main issue remains with the Divine Sense.¡±


    At this point, Elder Yuanxu had reviewed the failure codes from the Formless Puppet¡¯s Core Formation and printed a report for Chen Mobai.


    Cultivators within the Immortal Gate have grown up eating Spirit Rice, and if they also have access to Core Formation Spiritual Medicine, issues with Vital Essence and physical strength are generally not a concern.


    Although Chen Mobai had replenished his Lifespan, this posed no obstacle to Core Formation, so the Formless Puppet¡¯s simulation encountered no problems.


    As for Spiritual Power, the Pure Yang Scroll is an Immortal Law of the Divinity Transformation Technique, and the Qi-replenishing Spiritual Water from Immortal Law is Danless Poison. Chen Mobai merely needed to spend time refining his Spiritual Force of the Foundation Establishment stage to the utmost purity and convergence.

 Chapter 832 - Chapter 832 Chapter 470 New Dojo_2

    Chapter 832: Chapter 470 New Dojo_2 Chapter 832: Chapter 470 New Dojo_2 The key is still the Divine Sense.


    This is also the biggest obstacle that holds many back from making a breakthrough.


    Even though the Divine Sense can transform during the Nascent Soul Formation, if a Heart Demon assaults, it is very possible to fail due to a moment of distraction.


    However, there are targeted methods for this kind of thing within the Immortal Gate.


    Whether it¡¯s consuming elixirs or using magic artifacts, one can avoid it during Nascent Soul Formation.


    For this reason, Chen Mobai had specifically asked Master Chengxuan to refine the Lifespan Artifact Morning Bell.


    But the Formless Puppet¡¯s deduction of Nascent Soul Formation can only start from the most fundamental level, and for the time being, elixirs and magic artifacts cannot be added, so Chen Mobai¡¯s simulated process of Nascent Soul Formation ultimately still fell at the hurdle of the Divine Sense.


    This was similar to what Chen Chun had said before, but certainly, descriptions can¡¯t compare to actual experience. After Elder Yuanxu¡¯s practical demonstration, Chen Mobai had a basic idea of his own barriers to Nascent Soul Formation.


    With the Two Phases Technique, the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, and the Morning Bell, and if Meng Huang were to assist in breaking through to the Divine Sense Realm of the Golden Core stage, then his own Nascent Soul Formation could almost be said to be a certainty.


    With this understanding, Chen Mobai no longer had so much fear of Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°I may need your help with a repair later,¡± Elder Yuanxu said before leaving. Chen Mobai nodded, indicating no problem.


    In this laboratory, he had unknowingly spent two days already.


    After coming out, Chen Mobai invited Yan Bingxuan for a late-night meal, and then used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After returning to the Divine Wood Sect, he naturally contacted Fu Zongjue first.


    ¡°For this matter, I¡¯m afraid we need to ask Senior Brother for guidance,¡± Chen Mobai said, recounting how he had been teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm after completing Foundation Establishment and had obtained the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s expression turned grave upon hearing this, and then he took Chen Mobai to an Everlife Wood, where he ignited a Taoist Talisman Paper.


    About the time it takes an incense stick to burn later, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s figure floated down, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.


    ¡°Did you truly obtain the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his head, then activated the Green Leaf Talisman on his forehead and handed over the booklet he had silently written to Zhou Shengqing, who, after reading it, was visibly excited and trembling.


    ¡°I never thought that what the master said in the past was all true.¡±


    ¡°Oh, the Primordial Ancestral Master also knew about this Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture?¡± Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help asking curiously.


    ¡°Back in the day, the Primordial Master, having received the legacy of True Lord Yuan, used the map left by the True Lord to find the Divine Tree Secret Realm. The True Lord said that the supreme Dao Fruit of the Longevity Sect¡¯s legacy had already been taken by him, but the remaining five Immortal Scriptures and twenty-four Grand Spells could also be acquired from it. However, no matter how outstanding the subsequent disciples were, even those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root could not obtain them. I had thought it was just empty words from the True Lord, but it turns out the earlier disciples were simply too mediocre.¡±


    After hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai instinctively thought of the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Divine Sense. Could the supreme Dao Fruit of the Longevity Sect¡¯s legacy, as mentioned by True Lord Yuan, be this? If it had already been taken, then there was no point in being pulled into the Great Dao Tree.


    But this was just speculation; Chen Mobai had no intention of going to the Great Dao Tree again.


    He just needed to systematically cultivate, making use of resources from both realms, to achieve great success. There was no need to undertake such risky endeavors.


    ¡°The Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture is a supreme divine technique that directly points to the Divinity Transformation, by bringing it to me, you¡¯ve granted me a favor of the Dao, and I don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Shengqing spoke very weightily, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hand to decline.


    ¡°The whole sect depends on you, Elder Ancestor, to successfully form your Nascent Soul. If the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture can help you break through, then I have also fulfilled my duty as a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Mobai wanted to reform the Eastern Wilderness, but without Nascent Soul Cultivators to oversee it, such a wish would merely be fantasy. Thus, he greatly hoped Zhou Shengqing would succeed at Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Within the sect, the most valuable are these three Everlife Woods. One is occupied by me and Fellow Disciple Fu, this one, why don¡¯t you take it as a place for cultivation?¡± Zhou Shengqing thought about it but still felt the Immortal-grade Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was too precious, and he would feel guilty taking it without offering something in return, so he pointed to a Divine Tree standing at the center of Giant Tree Ridge and said.


    Fu Zongjue, standing to the side, was stunned to hear this, but did not object.


    In the Tianhe Realm, what is most precious is the legacy!


    The grace of imparting the Dao and teaching exceeds even heaven!


    An Everlife Wood, compared to a Divinity Transformation Technique, was indeed lighter in value, but this was already the best thing Divine Wood Sect had to offer.


    ¡°This, isn¡¯t this too precious!¡±


    Chen Mobai felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. The Everlife Wood was located at the place where the spirit energy of Giant Tree Ridge was the most abundant, which was also a Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein.


    It had always been occupied only by Golden Core Cultivators.


    It was only during Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation that he was allowed in for a period of time.


    ¡°This is the Shenmu Order, you can freely enter and exit any place in Giant Tree Ridge with it, and it¡¯s also one of the cores of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods. With this token in your hand, you can pass through the restrictions surrounding the Everlife Wood.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing took out a green token and handed it to Chen Mobai, then he continued with his seclusion with Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    If previously he only had a fifty percent hope for his Nascent Soul Formation, now he had at least a twenty percent chance.


    After Zhou Shengqing left, Fu Zongjue also departed.


    Although the two of them were not of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Root and could not switch to cultivating the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, many of the essences of the Longevity Scripture were common with it. After seeing the complete Immortal Scripture, they felt that their previous understanding of cultivation techniques was somewhat superficial, and now their minds were filled with new interpretations.


    After watching the two leave, Chen Mobai also took the Shenmu Order and went to the unoccupied Everlife Wood.


    This was a Fourth Grade Spirit Wood, and there were only a handful of them in the entire Immortal Gate.


    Moreover, this was left behind by True Lord Yuan who cultivated the Art of Longevity, and it was possible that there were Dao marks left by Ascended Monks.


    Unfortunately, what he could think of, the predecessors could also think of. The three Everlife Woods had already been thoroughly searched by Ancestor Hunyuan. Anything related to True Lord Yuan had been collected and was now with the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai found nothing, but he was not discouraged.


    At least, he had his first Fourth Grade Spirit Vein cultivation site, and it was Fourth Grade Superior.


    Just as he was preparing to return to Xiao Nanshan to pack his belongings and move his cultivation site here, Luo Yixuan called.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment!¡±


    The joyful voice of his little disciple rang in his ears, causing Chen Mobai to momentarily startle, then he too smiled broadly.


    Xiao Nanshan!


    It was rare for the master and his four disciples to gather together.


    ¡°Wen Bo, next I hope to hear you tell me you¡¯ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment,¡± Chen Mobai said to his senior disciple. Among the three disciples, Liu Wenbo had the poorest talent and foundation.


    ¡°Yes, Master. I will definitely not disappoint you. After little junior sister¡¯s Foundation Establishment this year, I will carry the banner of Xiao Nanshan Lineage in the sect competition,¡± Liu Wenbo stated decisively, knowing that because Zeng Woyou was refining new Foundation Building Pills, this year¡¯s end sect competition would be especially fierce.


    Although Liu Wenbo had always been stable in the mid-ranks among the true disciples, that was because of the Rank-2 Magic Artifact, the Green Scale Arm Guard. To compete for next year¡¯s Foundation Building Pills, all remaining Qi Cultivation ninth-layer disciples from Divine Wood Sect would surely give their all. Moreover, most had gained a lot from the war that annihilated Mountain Shaker Peak, and Rank-2 Magic Artifacts were no longer rare.


    This year¡¯s sect competition would surely be the toughest one in the past decade or more.


    ¡°Master, I will also work hard to make you proud,¡± Zhuo Ming said, clutching her small fist, full of determination. Chen Mobai had quite a lot of confidence in his second disciple. Through four to five years of Rank-2 Spirit Rice and various nourishments, she finally cultivated the first layer of her Ninefold Law Body this year.


    However, because she mostly practiced with spirit beasts like wild cats and birds, she had no idea about her own strength.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Now only a Rank-2 Magic Artifact could break her defense.


    ¡°You¡­ go a little easier on your fellow disciples,¡± Chen Mobai hesitated but still offered advice, leading to Zhuo Ming scratching her head in confusion.


    ¡°Master, the fish is grilled, here, eat,¡± at this moment, Luo Yixuan, who originally should have been the center of attention, pouted and handed a grilled sweet osmanthus fish to Chen Mobai, then looked up, hoping to be praised.


    ¡°Xuan, now that you¡¯ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment, I happen to have a task that I need your help with,¡± Chen Mobai remembered the Returning Essence Secret Technique that his little disciple had once offered.


    Previously she was only at Qi Cultivation and not suitable to be sent out, but now her cultivation level was almost ready for Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 833 - Chapter 833 Chapter 471 Rank-3 Spirit Field

    Chapter 833: Chapter 471: Rank-3 Spirit Field Chapter 833: Chapter 471: Rank-3 Spirit Field The Returning Essence Secret Technique is a spell used to conceal one¡¯s cultivation level.


    It has three layers; the first two are manageable, but the third involves creating a Small Void to hide spiritual power outside the body, in the heaven and earth.


    This already resembles the Golden Core Domain of the Immortal Gate, except that the Returning Essence Secret Technique involves carrying a reservoir of spiritual power with oneself, which is rather limited in use.


    Nevertheless, this Returning Essence Secret Technique must be of help to the Golden Core Domain, so Chen Mobai planned to send his little apprentice to find the source of this secret technique and seek out the specific cultivation method of the third layer.


    In pursuit of the Golden Core Domain, Chen Mobai also tried to comprehend the mysteries of the Void with his Void Law Body, but this cultivation technique was incredibly obscure and difficult to understand, and practicing it with only a half-baked knowledge was very likely to lead to deviations.


    Chen Mobai had been stationed in Rock Country for two years and had inquired with the local cultivator families about the Void Law Body, but unfortunately, even among the ranks of the Mountain Shaker Peak, there weren¡¯t many who could practice this Body Training Technique, let alone outsiders.


    If any members of the Ji family were still alive, it was estimated that some relevant texts and commentaries could be found.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai had no particular attachment to the cultivation techniques of the Tianhe Realm, so if he could comprehend the Void Law Body, he would cultivate it, and if not, he would just set it aside.


    He had also consulted Fu Zongjue, who, according to his suggestion, had placed the chapters of the Void Law Body that could be practiced in the Qi Cultivating Realm into the Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion. If some day a disciple with extraordinary talent succeeded in cultivating it, the further cultivation methods would be imparted to them.


    ¡°Master, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well for you,¡± Luo Yixuan said with confidence after hearing about it.


    Having succeeded in Foundation Establishment, she was at the most expansive time of her life, believing there was nowhere in this vast world that she could not go.


    ¡°Good, wait until this year¡¯s Sect¡¯s grand competition is over before you set out,¡± Chen Mobai said. ¡°I will also prepare some life-saving items for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that the Eastern Wasteland was fraught with dangers everywhere, and a Foundation Establishment cultivation level was barely respectable. It was perfect timing that after the Sect¡¯s great battle, he had condensed all the Green Wood Evil into Green Flames Sword Slaughter, and could refine one for Luo Yixuan to use as a ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman.¡±


    With this, as long as she didn¡¯t encounter a Golden Core Cultivator, Luo Yixuan could essentially do as she pleased in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Apart from the Sect¡¯s grand competition, the new true inheritors who have succeeded in Foundation Establishment are allowed to seek opportunities within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Li Yixian had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment, but because he had taken Foundation Building Pills before, only Luo Yixuan was eligible.


    Luo Yixuan eagerly looked forward to it, incessantly asking Chen Mobai for various details.


    ¡°There¡¯s been a bit of a situation with this Secret Realm recently,¡± Chen Mobai said, not willing to admit he had used the Purple Electric Sword to cut down the Great Dao Tree. However, Luo Yixuan¡¯s mention reminded him that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was crucial to both the Divine Wood Sect and himself; it couldn¡¯t just be given up.


    If they used Turtle Treasure to teleport in, only his true body could enter, which was too dangerous.


    But the Divine Wood Sect had the key to open the Secret Realm, and with Fu Zongjue intervening, it was possible to have the Transmission Division open the Secret Realm. Then, Chen Mobai could place his Formless Puppet inside to investigate the current situation within the Secret Realm.


    If there were no significant dangers, at the very least, Luo Yixuan could be allowed to acquire her own chances at the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree.


    Chen Mobai happened to plan on cultivating the Longevity Dao Body and needed plenty of Longevity Tree Sap. Since his little apprentice had a Water Attribute Spiritual Root, according to the rules of the Magic Treasure Tree, a gourd might even emerge.


    Although Luo Yixuan found it strange that something could go wrong with the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which was part of the sect¡¯s foundation, since Chen Mobai said so, she obediently nodded her head and decided not to think about it for the time being.


    ¡°Junior Sister, congratulations on your Foundation Establishment,¡± Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming came over at this time and offered their congratulations to Luo Yixuan. She smiled shyly but still very ladylike raised her cup next to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister will definitely be successful too,¡± Luo Yixuan said, knowing that her current status was all thanks to having entered Chen Mobai¡¯s tutelage. Therefore, she valued the Xiao Nanshan Lineage very much.


    Chen Mobai watched as his three disciples enjoyed each other¡¯s company harmoniously and happily drank a cup himself.


    The master and his disciples celebrated for one evening.


    Early the next day, Chen Mobai took the three of them to observe a two-acre plot of land at the foot of the mountain, where the soil was much darker than that of ordinary Spirit Fields.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°These two acres of Spirit Field have finally absorbed the embedded Life Stones completely,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    In the past, after he defeated Ai Tuo of Shake Mountain Peak, he obtained two Rank-3 Life Stones from Ai Tuo¡¯s Storage Bag. After returning to his sect, he carefully selected two acres of upper Rank-2 Spirit Field to embed them in, then enlisted the expertise of the Spirit Vein Division to set up gradual upgrading restrictions. Zhuo Ming would occasionally come over to check on them.


    As fate would have it, the reason Zhuo Ming was able to enter the doorway of the Ninefold Law Body was because he sensed the burst of vitality from the upgrade of the two-acre Spirit Field, which reflected into his own heart and mind. After meditating beside the Spirit Field for three days and three nights, he accomplished a transformation of his body, and his Body Refining Technique was cultivated.


    However, Zhuo Ming was able to enter the first stage of the Ninefold Law Body with ease also because there was no lack of resources, such as Xiao Nanshan Spirit Rice, especially in the last five or six years, with meals always containing Rank-1 or Rank-2 Spirit Rice, supplemented with meats like Spirit Fish and Spirit Chicken, nourishing her body to robust health.


    If it had been another cultivator, they might have failed in the breakthrough due to insufficient vital essence in their body.

 Chapter 834 - Chapter 834 Chapter 471 Rank-3 Spirit Field_2

    Chapter 834: Chapter 471 Rank-3 Spirit Field_2 Chapter 834: Chapter 471 Rank-3 Spirit Field_2 ¡°My ¡®Mother Earth Cultivation¡¯ has already felt the transformation of these two mu of Spirit Field, but moving forward, it still requires the nourishment of the Small Southern Mountain Spiritual Vein; otherwise, these Rank-3 Spirit Fields could possibly drop in grade during cultivation.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, through the years of practice, has become almost an ¡®Earth Master¡¯ when it comes to Spirit Fields.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation is indeed a perfect fit for her. Often, her advancement in cultivation level has been achieved atop the Spirit Field¡¯s vein; it happens naturally, as if the earth itself is urging her to progress, with grass and Spirit Plants blossoming eagerly for her.


    However, she herself is quite clueless about this and assumed it was because the Sect¡¯s land had abundant Spiritual Energy, which is why she was able to effortlessly break through and advance every time.


    ¡°You can disperse the Spiritual Vein of Small Southern Mountain and use it to nurture the Spirit Field,¡± instructed Chen Mobai to Zhuo Ming.


    The sixty mu of Spirit Field on Small Southern Mountain were originally the testing fields that the Five Elements Sect used to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice, and in theory, they could all be upgraded to Rank-3 Spirit Fields.


    However, previously, because Chen Mobai required the use of the mountain top¡¯s Spiritual Energy for cultivation, and they also did not have Rank-3 Spirit Rice for planting, only a portion was tilled for Rank-2.


    ¡°Master, your cultivation is the most crucial thing. You mustn¡¯t let this interfere with your use of Spiritual Energy,¡± said Zhuo Ming, who was always obedient, yet now shaking her head. She had only intended to borrow a bit of Rank-3 Spiritual Energy to maintain the two mu of Spirit Field that had just been upgraded to Rank-3.


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan, upon hearing this, also advised the same. After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, one¡¯s own cultivation level is of the utmost importance.


    ¡°The two Nascent Soul Ancestors have granted me Everlife Wood as a cultivation site; I no longer require the Spiritual Vein of Small Southern Mountain,¡± Chen Mobai said airily, causing all three disciples to show faces filled with shock.


    This was a land of Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein that only Nascent Soul Ancestors could occupy, and it was unexpected that it would be bestowed upon their Master, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    What this implied, even the naive Zhuo Ming could comprehend.


    ¡°Master, are you going to form your Core?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s feasible, but it still needs some polishing,¡± replied Chen Mobai without going into detail, so as not to overly excite his three disciples.


    Nevertheless, the fact that he now possessed Everlife Wood as a cultivation site still delighted Liu Wenbo and the others immensely.


    Knowing that Chen Mobai would no longer cultivate at Small Southern Mountain, Zhuo Ming could also confidently upgrade all the Spirit Fields below Small Southern Mountain to Rank-2 Superior grade.


    There were two methods to upgrade a Spirit Field to Rank-3: one was to nurture it with the Spiritual Energy of the land¡¯s vein over years, and the other was to use earthly Spiritual Objects like Life Stones.


    ¡°Later, I will post a task at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to purchase Life Stones,¡± Chen Mobai decided, clearly favoring the Life Stones, as upgrading the Spirit Fields to Rank-3 sooner would allow him to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice more quickly.


    The price of a Life Stone was approximately between three to four thousand Spirit Stones. If he were to upgrade the remaining fifty-eight mu of Spirit Fields to Rank-3, it would likely require about two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    For Chen Mobai, this was an acceptable cost.


    He took his three disciples to Divine Wood City and found the sect Elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. They learned that the Sect¡¯s treasury had five Life Stones available, and the price to exchange them was 3500 contribution points each.


    Chen Mobai naturally exchanged for all of them and then announced he would purchase Life Stones long-term with the same contribution points or Spirit Stones.


    It turns out that disciples within the Divine Wood Sect indeed possessed valuable items.


    No sooner had the task been posted than two Qi Cultivating Disciples accepted it.


    Unfortunately, after Zhuo Ming¡¯s appraisal, it was discovered that only one of them could be used. The other had lost too much of its Spiritual Energy from the vein for unknown reasons, bringing into question whether it would succeed in upgrading the Spirit Field.


    ¡°Sigh, at first I thought it was a special kind of Spirit Stone, and since my cultivation involves Earth of the Five Elements, I absorbed some of the vein¡¯s Spiritual Energy from within the ore. It was only after someone appraised it that I learned it was a precious Life Stone, so I stopped¡­¡± lamented one of the Divine Wood Sect disciples who came to exchange, looking dejected. He had participated in the battle to annihilate Shake Mountain Peak and had fortuitously found this piece of ore in a Storage Bag, but due to a lack of knowledge, he had mishandled it.


    The Life Stone, containing mild spiritual energy from the earth veins, could be used as a Spirit Stone for absorption, but the spiritual energy within this particular stone was only equivalent to five or six intermediate grade Spirit Stones.


    To directly absorb it, in comparison to its selling price, would indeed be a tremendous waste.


    ¡°It¡¯s 50% intact, but there¡¯s a hole that has been opened. Although it¡¯s been sealed up afterward, the spiritual energy from the earth veins is still slowly and weakly dissipating. If you want to sell it, I¡¯ll buy it for 800 Spirit Stones,¡± Zhuo Ming said, his ears suddenly perking up as he received a voice transmission from Chen Mobai and spoke out.


    While the disciple from Divine Wood Sect wanted to sell more, Zhuo Ming, having come from the humble beginnings of a Loose Cultivator, wasn¡¯t about to let the other party make an unreasonable profit. The two negotiated for a while, ultimately settling on a price of 835 Spirit Stones for the deal.


    After completing the transaction, the disciple from Divine Wood Sect hurriedly left with the Spirit Stones, and Zhuo Ming, who now possessed two Life Stones, headed upstairs where Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan were waiting.


    ¡°Master, the spiritual energy from the earth veins in this Life Stone is insufficient. If it¡¯s buried in the Spirit Field, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be able to complete the Level Up process?¡± Zhuo Ming asked, somewhat perplexed, but Chen Mobai just smiled slightly. He took the used Life Stone in his palm, examined it for a while, then handed it back to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°I have a hypothesis, don¡¯t use this Life Stone to upgrade the Spirit Field. Instead, absorb it using the Mother Earth Cultivation method,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    ¡°Master, isn¡¯t that too wasteful?¡± Zhuo Ming said, feeling somewhat reluctant, but she nodded and agreed to follow Chen Mobai¡¯s orders. The amount of spiritual energy contained in the Life Stone was a bit too much for her, as a Qi Cultivating Disciplinarian. Likely, it would take her an entire month to completely absorb it all.


    ¡°You can absorb it during the Sect Competition, while participating in Magic Duels,¡± Chen Mobai suggested. After uttering these words, he had Zhuo Ming channel a strand of Spiritual Power to him, recording her current Spiritual Root Attributes.


    ¡°Take this Divine Wood Shield,¡± he said in conclusion.


    In the end, to ensure Zhuo Ming would be safe during the Sect Competition, Chen Mobai gave her a second grade superior Defensive Magic Weapon. This way, even if she faced against second grade Magic Artifacts, she would have the power to protect herself.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Zhuo Ming joyfully accepted the gift. Chen Mobai had also loaned the Golden Jade Axe to Liu Wenbo, although with his Cultivation Level, he¡¯d likely only be able to unleash a single axe glow; he was currently still trying out this Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Look after them, I¡¯ll go ahead into the Divine Tree Secret Realm and scout the path for you,¡± Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan after making arrangements for his two disciples. She readily agreed, proudly asserting she would surely take good care of her senior brother and sister.


    ¡­


    As the foundation of Divine Wood Sect, any problems occurring within the Divine Tree Secret Realm would cause their two Ancestors great distress.


    Thus, when Chen Mobai mentioned his intention, Fu Zongjue also came in person.


    Lu Yi, the head of the transmission department, did not dare to seem weak in front of the Ancestor. With a ruddy complexion, he activated a Wooden Sword to open the gateway to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Let¡¯s use Puppets to explore the path first,¡± Fu Zongjue proposed. Following this statement, he sent one of his rather ordinary Blue Sun Puppets into the Secret Realm first, and soon after Chen Mobai followed with a Rank-1 Puppet he had just finished creating.


    The Formless Puppet was too high-end; he was afraid that Fu Zongjue, a Puppet Master, might notice something amiss.


    Once the two of them entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they found it was mostly unchanged.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai then led Fu Zongjue toward the Magic Treasure Tree, careful to avoid letting him notice the traces of him raising snakes and chopping trees in this area.


    The Magic Treasure Tree and the Talent Tree remained as usual.


    So, they flew towards the last Great Dao Tree.


    The marks left by the Purple Electric Sword were visible from a distance. The once majestic and towering Everlife Wood had a rough, long sword mark carved into it, leaving little to the imagination about the extent of the original wound. However, that wound had now completely healed.


    Such a terrifying healing ability deeply shocked Chen Mobai who had witnessed the insertion of the giant purple sword with his own eyes.

 Chapter 835 - Chapter 835 Chapter 472 Zhuo Mings Rising Fame

    Chapter 835: Chapter 472: Zhuo Ming¡¯s Rising Fame Chapter 835: Chapter 472: Zhuo Ming¡¯s Rising Fame Fu Zongjue tried entering the range of the Great Dao Tree with his Puppet Body.


    He found that the trial of longevity still existed. He could not walk many steps before the Blue Sun Puppet began to stiffen, even its outer shell started to crack.


    Chen Mobai, who was outside, immediately used the prepared hemp rope to pull him out.


    ¡°In the future, let¡¯s forbid our Divine Wood Sect disciples from approaching this Great Dao Tree. After all, over the many years, only you and Hong He have benefited from it.¡±


    After trying, Fu Zongjue felt that the Great Dao Tree posed more danger than fortune to the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect and directly suggested giving up on it.


    Chen Mobai heard this and nodded.


    Although he had obtained two major realms of Sword Dao and the Rank-3 Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder within the Great Dao Tree, establishing his unbeatable reputation among his peers, he still agreed with Fu Zongjue¡¯s opinion considering the potential risks.


    For the many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, it was already quite fortunate to gain opportunities from the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree.


    The trial of longevity inside the Great Dao Tree was indeed a trial for them.


    After reaching an agreement, Fu Zongjue brought in another Rank-3 Puppet Body from the outside world, along with a set of Array Flags.


    Without needing Chen Mobai¡¯s help, Fu Zongjue pointed a finger and under the Grass and Wood are Soldiers Technique, a number of Red-sun Spirit Trees turned into tree-people. They began to set up the Array Flags and Array Plate according to his thoughts.


    Once the formation was in place, it would ensure that the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect would not enter out of curiosity.


    After being busy for half a day, the two left the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Lu Yi, who was waiting outside, with the indication from the true body of Elder Fu, once again opened the portal to the Secret Realm. Opening it consecutively in a short period of time truly cost him half his life, and in the end, it was Meng Hong who lent a hand, finally allowing him to recover.


    ¡°After the sect competition, my disciples will need to enter the Secret Realm, so I will need your help again then,¡± Fu Zongjue said to Lu Yi with a smile as he left, and the latter¡¯s pale face immediately waved his hands, explaining that he was too old and needed a rest of a year and a half to replenish his Elemental Energy fully to open it again.


    ¡°Brother Lu has worked hard for the sect. Take these Rank-2 Spirit Rice to replenish your energy.¡±


    Everyone present was an acquaintance. Chen Mobai did not stand on ceremony and handed over a prepared hundred catties of Green Jade Spirit Rice to him. Lu Yi immediately brightened his eyes, glanced at Meng Hong, and happily accepted it.


    ¡°You young lad, though you are young, your actions resemble us old-timers. This matter is mine to handle, just call for me directly after the sect competition.¡±


    After resolving the affairs of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai was relieved of a concern.


    Yet when he returned to Divine Wood City, he happened to witness Zhuo Ming¡¯s display of formidable prowess on the fighting stage.


    She and Tan Qianshi, a core disciple of the Body Forging division, exchanged blows without dodging. One punch for one punch, after twelve consecutive punches, Tan Qianshi could no longer withstand the power of the mountains and earth streams embedded in Zhuo Ming¡¯s fists. He spat blood as his boasted Earth Spiritual Body was broken, his chest bones fractured, and he was sent flying out of the arena.


    Had it not been for the Foundation Establishment Elder presiding over the sect competition catching him, his injuries would have been even worse upon hitting the ground.


    ¡°The winner, Zhuo Ming!¡±


    The Foundation Establishment Elder, Chi Tong, frowned at the sorry state of Tan Qianshi but still declared the outcome.


    He was aware of Zhuo Ming¡¯s background. Now in the entire Divine Wood Sect, apart from the two Elders, it was the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    Chi Tong first stabilized Tan Qianshi¡¯s condition then released him. Since he wasn¡¯t his own disciple, the recovery from the injuries would have to be managed by Tan Qianshi himself.


    However, this match was a decisive battle for the core disciple status.


    Having won, Zhuo Ming replaced Tan Qianshi as one of the twenty-four core disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Tan Qianshi got up, looking pale as he stared at the girl in the earthy yellow long gown on the stage, disbelief written all over his face.


    ¡°The Ninefold Law Body, you actually cultivated the Ninefold Law Body!¡±


    As a disciple of the Body Forging division, Tan Qianshi naturally recognized this top body forging method of the Eastern Wilderness with Earth attribute. The method had very high requirements and even within Shake Mountain Peak, there were only a handful who had mastered it.


    The last one who cultivated it, Ji Dao Yuan, was hailed as one of the Five Colored Immortal Seeds. He roamed the Eastern Wilderness unchallenged, unstoppable among his peers in Qi Cultivation, and even the core disciples of Jinguang Cliff could do nothing against him.


    After Chen Mobai cut down Ji Dao Yuan, this technique was unexpectedly mastered by Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple.


    Before climbing up the stage, Tan Qianshi did not even know who Zhuo Ming was.


    Though he heard his junior brothers talk about their opponent¡¯s background, other than the number one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect and Luo Yixuan, who he was wary of, he didn¡¯t pay much heed to the rest.


    Liu Wenbo had indeed been among the core disciples in recent years, but Tan Qianshi felt that if he took it seriously, he could easily defeat Liu Wenbo.

    Whereas Luo Yixuan had been firmly among the top three core disciples in the past few years, not merely relying on her outstanding beauty but her true capabilities. Moreover, after the battle that wiped out Shake Mountain Peak, the glory of the disciple following her master had subtly turned her into the face of this generation of core disciples in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Her fame was so great that it spread across half the Eastern Wilderness.


    Every major sect core disciple, as well as the Loose Cultivators, knew of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s exceptionally skilled and beautiful ¡°Southern Mountain Fairy.¡±


    Who was Zhuo Ming?


    Was there such a person in the Xiao Nanshan Lineage?

 Chapter 836 - Chapter 836 Chapter 472 Zhuo Mings Rising Fame_2

    Chapter 836: Chapter 472: Zhuo Ming¡¯s Rising Fame_2 Chapter 836: Chapter 472: Zhuo Ming¡¯s Rising Fame_2 It turned out that he had made it through by relying on the Divine Wood Shield, a Rank-2 Magic Artifact. Upon seeing Zhuo Ming nervously taking out the Divine Wood Shield, Tan Qianshi calmly took out a Rank-2 Spirit Talisman, momentarily sealing his opponent¡¯s artifact.


    Then, with confidence, he swung his fist and landed a heavy blow on Zhuo Ming¡¯s shoulder.


    There was a thud, as if he had struck stone.


    He¡¯s a Body Refining Cultivator as well¡­


    Tan Qianshi, delighted by the hunt, began to exchange blows with Zhuo Ming, only to have nearly all the bones in half his body shattered by Zhuo Ming¡¯s fist.


    After a crushing defeat, Tan Qianshi could discern the Body Forging Technique Zhuo Ming practiced and was faced with astonishment.


    His words caused the surrounding Divine Wood Sect disciples watching the battle, especially those who had made it to the last rounds of true succession in the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, to all wear a solemn expression.


    After reaching the first level of the Ninefold Law Body, they could only break through his defense by using Rank-2 Magic Artifacts or Spells, but Zhuo Ming also had the Divine Wood Shield.


    Even if Li Yixian, the former number one of true succession, were to take action with his Rank-2 Puppet, it¡¯s estimated that he¡¯d have a tremendous headache, not knowing how to proceed.


    ¡°You should pay attention to your recuperation, or else, if your sinews and bones don¡¯t recover well, it could seriously affect your future path,¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming stepped down, realizing herself that her punch might have been a bit too heavy, mainly because her previous opponents, upon seeing her take out the Rank-2 Divine Wood Shield, all conceded with ghastly expressions. Tan Qianshi was the first to directly clash with her.


    Seeing her opponent severely injured, Zhuo Ming took out a Renewal Talisman from her storage bag and slapped it onto him. Over the years, she had been well protected by Chen Mobai, spending her days farming and was quite benevolent at heart.


    ¡°Thank you¡­ Master¡­ Sister!¡±


    Tan Qianshi, feeling he could barely move again, also took out a bottle of spiritual medicine for healing and consumed it. Before leaving, he thanked Zhuo Ming with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.


    ¡°I joined later than you did, so you can just call me junior sister,¡±


    Zhuo Ming called out to Tan Qianshi¡¯s retreating back, but he left without turning his head.


    ¡°You are stronger than him, so it¡¯s right for him to call you senior sister,¡±


    Xi Jinghuo came over at some point. Being a true successor of the Sword Training Division, he had also defeated his opponent and became a true successor. As he often visited Xiao Nanshan, he had a good relationship with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right, the master said, in Xiao Nanshan¡¯s discipleship, we don¡¯t judge seniority by Cultivation Level,¡±


    Zhuo Ming shook her head, indicating that what Xi Jinghuo was saying was incorrect.


    ¡°I originally thought that after Luo Yixuan and Li Yixian achieved Foundation Establishment, the position of first true successor would be nearly secured. I didn¡¯t expect there to be a sleeping tiger like you,¡±


    Xi Jinghuo clicked his tongue in admiration. As a second-generation cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect with abundant resources and personal guidance from Xi Yisheng, the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, and after several exchanges at Golden Cliff, he had already achieved the peak of Sword Qi. Last year, even Li Yixian¡¯s Blue Sun Puppet could barely suppress his Flying Sword.


    This year, without those two, Xi Jinghuo, whose Sword Qi had become more rounded and mature, was initially feeling very lonely.


    But upon seeing Zhuo Ming and Tan Qianshi exchange a dozen punches in succession, completely crushing the latter¡¯s pride in his physically trained body, Xi Jinghuo¡¯s Sword Heart began to boil over with excitement he hadn¡¯t felt in a long time.


    ¡°I am probably not your match; securing a position as a true successor alongside senior brother Liu would suffice,¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming felt she might be quite powerful, she didn¡¯t think she could vie for the position of first true successor. She believed she might not even be able to defeat Liu Wenbo, let alone Xi Jinghuo, the genius Sword Cultivator.


    ¡°In this generation, besides you, no one can catch my Flying Sword!¡±


    Xi Jinghuo left these words behind and departed from the arena.


    Once people knew Zhuo Ming had trained the Ninefold Law Body, they also recognized Xi Jinghuo¡¯s assessment.


    Suddenly, Zhuo Ming became the hottest name among the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Senior Sister of Xiao Nanshan, devoted to farming Spirit Plants, disinclined to compete, yet possessed extraordinary talent, no less than Ji Dao Yuan of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    If it weren¡¯t for Luo Yixuan¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment, Xiao Nanshan needing another Qi Cultivation disciple to represent them, and the imminent completion of the Foundation Building Pill, Zhuo Ming might not have been willing to emerge into prominence.


    Worthy of being Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple, she certainly inherited his traits.


    Certainly capable of becoming famous through cultivation, yet she preferred farming.


    ¡°Master, am I really that incredible?¡±


    After Zhuo Ming came back, she still found it hard to believe and murmured a question to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, within the same realm, aside from your master, there¡¯s no one you need to fear,¡± Chen Mobai told her.


    Chen Mobai knew that Zhuo Ming was just lacking in self-confidence; her actual strength was unrivaled in the Qi Cultivating Realm, except for himself, who could activate a Sword Rainbow.


    ¡°So you mean, I won¡¯t bring shame upon you, Master!¡±


    Once Zhuo Ming understood her strength, the first thing that came to her mind as she felt relieved was this.


    ¡°Not only will you not bring shame, but my disciple, you have also brought great honor to your master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, standing to the side with a face full of envy, felt a sense of shame when he saw Luo Yixuan, who had successfully reached Foundation Establishment, standing beside Chen Mobai; the pressure was immense for him as the eldest senior disciple.


    ¡°Next, you don¡¯t need to hold back anymore. Go and help Xiao Nanshan secure another first place in the true inheritance competition,¡± Chen Mobai added.


    Zhuo Ming clenched her fists tightly and nodded vigorously after she roughly understood her strength and heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words; she felt a surge of immense motivation.


    ¡°Master, I will not let you down!¡±


    ¡°Master, I will also do my best,¡± Liu Wenbo said, puffing out his chest, feeling that he couldn¡¯t let his junior sisters upstage him. In the round of 24, Liu Wenbo faced Niu Longyuan from the Spirit Beast Department, who had borrowed a Rank-2 old yellow bull, and his Beast Taming Technique was as powerful as Li Yixian who possessed a Rank-2 puppet.


    Their battle was incredibly exciting, with both fighters pushing each other to the brink.


    In the end, Liu Wenbo managed to win by relying on the defense of the Green Scale Arm Guard, waiting until his opponent ran out of spiritual power, and then defeated him with a single strike of the Golden Jade Axe, chopping off one of the old yellow bull¡¯s horns.


    However, after reaching the top 12, Liu Wenbo felt that he had reached his limit, and sure enough, in the following round, he met Guan Xiaolong from the Formation Division; he was outmaneuvered by Guan¡¯s soft overcoming hard approach and was taken out of the competition with a bewildering formation before he had a chance to use his Golden Jade Axe.


    Although it was regrettable to stop at the top 12, at the very least, he secured a Foundation Building Pill for himself.


    After feeling dejected for a while, Liu Wenbo quickly adjusted his mindset and started to cheer for Zhuo Ming.


    Having achieved the Ninefold Law Body and protected by the Divine Wood Shield, Zhuo Ming was conservative in her approach, letting her opponents attack while she focused on defense; if they couldn¡¯t break through her defense, she would win as soon as they exhausted their spiritual power.


    Some opponents tried to drag out the fight, but Zhuo Ming also had the Purple Fire Sword Talisman bestowed by Chen Mobai; if she initiated an attack with this talisman, unless the opponent had her kind of defensive power and a Rank-2 magic artifact, any inheritor would be utterly defeated.


    Zhuo Ming advanced through the ranks with ease, defeating Jiang Zongheng from the Transmission Division in the top 12 and avenging Liu Wenbo in the top six by using the Purple Fire Sword Talisman to break Guan Xiaolong¡¯s formation.


    In the battle for the top three, she faced a familiar face to Chen Mobai, Ding Ying from the Talisman Making Division.


    After a failed attempt at Foundation Establishment, Ding Ying had come back even stronger, and she, beautiful and confident, was once Zhuo Ming¡¯s aspiration.


    When Zhuo Ming had first left Bud Hall, her only dream was to join the Talisman Making Division, learn to refine one or two talismans, and live safely within the Divine Wood Sect.


    Unfortunately, her numerous applications went unanswered like stones lost at sea.


    Lacking any further options, she decided to participate in the sect¡¯s competition to showcase herself, never expecting that she would meet Chen Mobai and concede a fight that would change her fate.


    ¡°Sister Ding, please enlighten me!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, seeing Ding Ying facing her with a serious expression, using a Heavenly Wood Talisman and expanding her domain, couldn¡¯t help but smile. She took out a colorful umbrella from her storage bag.


    She opened the umbrella, not to use its defensive power, but allowed the leaves and petals scattered by Ding Ying¡¯s flick of her hand to strike her body everywhere.


    Amid the crisp sounds of tinkling, Zhuo Ming reached Ding Ying under the towering tree, raised her fist, and struck.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!¡­


    After thirteen consecutive punches, Ding Ying spat out blood, her face pale as she was knocked off the platform.


    She lost to Chen Mobai ten years ago.


    And now, ten years later, she was defeated by Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple!


    In that moment, Ding Ying, watching a confident and proud Zhuo Ming up on the stage holding an umbrella, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

 Chapter 837 - Chapter 837 Chapter 473 Longevity Dew

    Chapter 837: Chapter 473: Longevity Dew Chapter 837: Chapter 473: Longevity Dew ¡°`


    After defeating Ding Ying, Zhuo Ming felt as though his essence, Qi, and spirit had undergone some indescribable changes.


    It was like reaching the summit of a mountain that he had thought impossible to climb as a child. Upon easily setting foot on the peak and looking down at the landscape below, with its beautiful rivers and mountains in full view, a sense of joy at having fulfilled his wish welled up within him, giving rise to a profound sense of satisfaction.


    And after defeating Ding Ying, Zhuo Ming¡¯s only remaining opponent was the last one.


    It was Xi Jinghuo.


    As the lead disciple of the Sword Training Division, he was seen as the only hope of breaking through the Ninefold Law Body.


    However, it is well-known that sword cultivators are stronger in the mid to late stages, and against body cultivators in the early to mid-stages, even Xi Jinghuo, who had brought out fifty to sixty percent of the power of the Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword, and had even vaguely touched the Realm of Rainbow Sword Qi with his final strike, stood no chance before the spiritually transformed Zhuo Ming. He didn¡¯t last past the ninth punch and was struck off the platform.


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s defensive abilities were not even as good as Ding Ying¡¯s or Tan Qianshi¡¯s, but his sword dao cultivation level was undoubtedly profound.


    The last sword strike he managed to deliver while enduring the ninth punch left a cut on Zhuo Ming¡¯s cheek, thus breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Ninefold Law Body.


    ¡°Brother Xi has successors,¡±


    Chen Mobai had personally come to watch the final battle of his disciple¡¯s ascent, and coincidentally, Xi Yisheng had also arrived.


    The two of them stood on the second-floor balcony and witnessed the battle between Xi Jinghuo and Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the entire sect was mistaken. Who would have thought that, apart from Nephew Luo, you would have such a brilliant talent as Nephew Zhuo under your tutelage?¡±


    As Xi Yisheng watched Zhuo Ming wipe the cut on her cheek and saw the sword mark disappear, he knew that her Ninefold Law Body was not something that had been forcibly achieved through the use of resources but truly mastered in essence.


    The Sword Qi of the Red Flame Sword Jue contained a powerful fiery energy, and ordinary methods could by no means erase it so easily. Loose cultivators who unwittingly practice Qi and are struck by the Sword Qi may even carry a lifelong scar or burn mark.


    But Zhuo Ming managed to erase it easily, without resorting to talismans or elixirs.


    ¡°I mentioned it before to Brother E and Brother Yuan, but they didn¡¯t seem to believe me.¡±


    In the past, Chen Mobai had discussed this batch of disciples who had joined the sect from Yun Country within his own small circle. The only ones who caught his eye were Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, and Zhuo Ming.


    Apart from these three, there was also Luo Yixiu. Although his talent was acceptable, his state of mind had always been an issue. Over the years, the Luo family even considered giving up on him and focusing all resources on Luo Yixuan.


    But with Chen Mobai as her support, Luo Yixuan hardly cared for what the Luo family could offer in terms of resources. If not for her mother still being with the Luo family, she would likely have no interest in dealing with them at all.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, come over to my dojo for tea when you have the time,¡±


    Xi Yisheng easily accepted the outcome of Xi Jinghuo¡¯s defeat and left with a smile after seeing Zhuo Ming become the foremost true disciple.


    ¡°Certainly,¡±


    After seeing him off, Chen Mobai turned his head to look outside the window.


    Atop the platform, Zhuo Ming, who had become the number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, felt elated by the admiring and respectful gazes from all around.


    Is this the pinnacle of all Qi practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect?


    So, it can be so easily reached!


    Zhuo Ming suddenly felt empty, as if standing in mid-air, an unsettled feeling.


    She looked around and felt a pair of gratified eyes on her. Looking over, it was Chen Mobai standing at the window, smiling and nodding at her.


    When their eyes met, Zhuo Ming suddenly felt all the vanity fade from her heart, returning to her previous state of mind.


    To her, being the top true disciple was not as important as her master¡¯s recognition.


    ¡°Master, from now on, I can proudly say I am your disciple!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who had always felt like she was holding back the Xiao Nanshan lineage, deeply sensed Chen Mobai¡¯s kindness to her at that moment.


    Zhuo Ming had always considered her Spirit Root Aptitude to be ordinary, attributing her achievements to the fortune of having Chen Mobai as her master.


    The personal teachings in farming and talisman-making, the annual teachings and resolutions of doubts, being able to eat Spirit Rice at every meal, and the cultivation technique manuals she couldn¡¯t even dream of before¨Call these made her feel that any Qi practitioner with such conditions could achieve success.


    Before leaving Snow-blowing Palace, Xue Ting had openly expressed to Zhuo Ming her admiration for the atmosphere of Xiao Nanshan, wishing she could stay there forever if possible.


    Zhuo Ming felt that all the hardships she had endured as a child were in preparation to become a disciple of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Not bad at all, worthy of being my disciple.¡±


    After meeting his disciple, Chen Mobai said something that made Zhuo Ming¡¯s entire being overflow with joy.


    This was the greatest acknowledgment for her!


    Being the top true disciple couldn¡¯t compare to the value of that phrase.


    ¡°Congratulations, Junior Sister!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Congratulations, Senior Sister!¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan also spoke to congratulate Zhuo Ming. To tell the truth, besides Chen Mobai, even they, who spent their days together, didn¡¯t realize Zhuo Ming contained such immense potential and strength.


    But the atmosphere of the Xiao Nanshan lineage was very good, and seeing Zhuo Ming at the top of the true disciples, both were more than happy.


    Even though Liu Wenbo felt somewhat dejected that he, the eldest senior brother, turned out to be the weakest among the three, it gave him more of a drive to diligently pursue his cultivation.

 Chapter 838 - Chapter 838 Chapter 473 Longevity Dew_2

    Chapter 838: Chapter 473 Longevity Dew_2 Chapter 838: Chapter 473 Longevity Dew_2 He felt that in these past years, due to his obsession with commerce, he had somewhat neglected his cultivation level and decided that after obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, he would begin seclusion, hoping to surpass Zhuo Ming in the Foundation Establishment realm and regain some of the dignity befitting the position of the eldest disciple.


    After contemplating, Liu Wenbo took the initiative to discuss this matter with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°That is good,¡± Chen Mobai said. ¡°No external object is as important as one¡¯s own cultivation level. It just so happens that Xuan is about to leave the mountain to help me with a task after her successful Foundation Establishment, so let¡¯s hand over the Little Nan Mountain Shop to her.¡±


    Chen Mobai was an advocate of the Sect of Realms. Even if Liu Wenbo had not mentioned it, he had planned to do so, and he even wanted Zhuo Ming to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Master, I feel that the first layer of my Ninefold Law Body is still insufficient. Moreover, spring is about to arrive, and it¡¯s time to sow the new Green Jade Spirit Rice seeds. I think I¡¯ll wait until the eldest disciple successfully establishes his foundation before going into seclusion,¡± Zhuo Ming said.


    Zhuo Ming shook her head and declined, but mainly because, despite being ranked as the foremost true disciple, she still lacked confidence in her own Foundation Establishment.


    She believed that her status as the number one true disciple was purely due to the Divine Wood Shield and her reliance on the Spirit Rice resources of Little Nan Mountain to cultivate her Ninefold Law Body. In reality, her Spirit Root Talent was still not as good as Xi Jinghuo¡¯s or Ding Ying¡¯s.


    ¡°That¡¯s also fine. As for Foundation Establishment, one should only attempt it when they feel the time is ripe to have a high chance of success,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    Chen Mobai did not force Zhuo Ming. He always allowed his disciples to develop according to their own nature, without distinction in teaching.


    ¡°Master, the Golden Jade Axe is being returned,¡± Liu Wenbo said.


    After speaking, Liu Wenbo took out the Golden Jade Axe that Chen Mobai had lent him from his storage bag, and Zhuo Ming immediately handed over the Divine Wood Shield as well.


    ¡°Xuan, it won¡¯t do for you to be without a magic artifact by your side when you leave to handle affairs. Moreover, you have succeeded in your Foundation Establishment and I have not yet given you a celebratory gift. The Divine Wood Shield and your Divine Wood Sword are a set and offer strong defense; I will gift it to you,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Mobai took the Wooden Shield, removed the Divine Sense he had infused into it, and passed it to Luo Yixuan, who was beside him.


    ¡°Master, this is too precious!¡± Luo Yixuan said, her face full of surprise. But over the years, she had come to understand Chen Mobai¡¯s character, and she raised her hands, a little excitedly accepting the Divine Wood Shield.


    ¡°Take it. I will tell you the refining mantra; listen carefully,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    While Chen Mobai spoke, Luo Yixuan held the Divine Wood Shield tightly in her hands, listening intently and feeling a surge of happiness within her heart.


    Her Rank-2 magic artifact, the Divine Wood Sword, and Divine Wood Shield, were both given to her by Chen Mobai. Even blood-related fathers and daughters did not enjoy such treatment.


    In the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness, there was no better teacher to be found!


    As Chen Mobai distributed the Divine Wood Shield to Luo Yixuan, he also noticed the envious gazes of Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming and couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly, pulling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his hair bun.


    ¡°Wenbo, as my first disciple, this Flying Sword that earned a formidable reputation with me in the Eastern Wilderness will be passed on to you,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    ¡°Master, your disciple has not yet completed Foundation Establishment; I am truly apprehensive!¡± Liu Wenbo replied.


    After hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately knelt down before Chen Mobai, repeatedly shaking his hands, indicating that he, still in the Qi Cultivating Realm, was not fit to inherit the Flying Sparrow Hairpin!


    ¡°You are too modest, child. If I give it to you, take it. Moreover, this item is of no use to me anymore. You already possess the Green Scale Arm Guard for protection. Adding this Flying Sparrow Hairpin for offense is just right,¡± Chen Mobai insisted.


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Liu Wenbo finally accepted the exquisitely delicate Flying Sparrow Hairpin with trembling hands.


    It could be said that the reputation of Chen Mobai as the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect was largely built by this Flying Sword.


    After receiving the Flying Sword, Liu Wenbo felt that the responsibility of being the eldest disciple had just become heavier!


    He must not disappoint his Master again!


    Embracing this determination, Liu Wenbo told himself that he must succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you possess the Ninefold Law Body with strong defenses, but you lack offensive power. This Golden Jade Axe is a Rank-2 top-notch magic artifact, which is very suitable for you,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    As treasures were being distributed, Chen Mobai naturally did not overlook his second esteemed disciple. He handed the Golden Jade Axe, returned by Liu Wenbo, to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Many thanks, Master!¡± Zhuo Ming replied.


    Seeing that her brother and sister had accepted their gifts, Zhuo Ming did not refuse and took the Golden Jade Axe, swinging it around with one hand, increasingly pleased with it.


    The Golden Jade Axe was quite simple to activate: one only had to infuse it with Spiritual Power.


    After the three disciples memorized the sacrificial refining mantra, they once again collectively offered their thanks to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Wenbo, if you are preparing for Foundation Establishment, find a place within my Longevity Wood Dojo for seclusion. Xuan, don¡¯t forget your task in the Divine Tree Secret Realm tomorrow; remember you just need to visit the Magic Treasure Tree and the Talent Tree,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.

    Chen Mobai entrusted the management of Little Nan Mountain along with the surrounding seven Spirit Mountains and thousand mu of Spirit Fields to Zhuo Ming, as from then on, he would predominantly cultivate within the Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein of the Everlife Wood, meticulously honing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit in preparation for Core Formation.


    Zhuo Ming nodded. In terms of farming, she was confident that within the Sect, only her Master surpassed her.


    Since Zeng Woyou¡¯s Foundation Building Pills were refined in batches, their availability on the shelves varied. As the number one true disciple, Zhuo Ming could exchange for it first, but she gave this opportunity to Liu Wenbo.


    Liu Wenbo initially hesitated but then thanked Zhuo Ming sincerely. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement, he became the first to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill and began his seclusion.


    The Longevity Wood soared into the clouds; Chen Mobai found a thick branch and built a wooden cabin on it.

 Chapter 839 - Chapter 839 473

    Chapter 839: 473 Chapter 839: 473 Liu Wenbo built a shelter at the base of the tree, where, on top of this fourth-grade superior spirit vein, he could slightly increase his chances of Foundation Establishment.


    After settling his eldest disciple, Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan to find Lu Yi.


    For Lu Yi, the opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm was routine; however, now that the trials of the Great Dao Tree were no more, it became more troublesome as he had to open the entrance himself.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai had prepared two jars of fine wine, and with Meng Hong joining them, the three cooked some Spirit Rice and grilled several Spirit Fish, waiting for Luo Yixuan.


    About a day later, Luo Yixuan emerged from the Secret Realm with a face full of joy.


    After saying goodbye to Meng Hong and Lu Yi, Chen Mobai took her back to his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve accomplished the task, here¡¯s the Longevity Tree Sap.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, with her Water Spirit Root, had indeed harvested a large bag of Longevity Tree Sap from the Magic Treasure Tree; Chen Mobai counted with his Divine Sense, exactly one hundred drops.


    Besides that, Luo Yixuan also obtained an alchemy recipe for ¡°Longevity Dew¡± from the Talent Tree, which is used for the second stage of cultivation for the Longevity Dao Body.


    The main ingredient is Longevity Tree Sap mixed with ninety-nine other medicinal herbs and Spiritual Objects. After blending and consuming the mixture for refining, it can strengthen the body and Vital Essence, and even extend one¡¯s lifespan.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t hide anything and told Chen Mobai everything.


    ¡°Both the Longevity Tree Sap and the Longevity Dew are of great use to your master, Xuan, you truly are a blessing to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been harvesting from the Talent Tree for so long and had not gotten the recipe for Longevity Dew. Now that he had received it from Luo Yixuan, he suddenly felt another kind of reward for teaching his disciple.


    ¡°As long as it¡¯s useful to Master, I¡¯m satisfied. I was worried that since it¡¯s an ancient recipe, it might not be possible to refine it nowadays.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was even happier after receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s approval.


    ¡°The value of the recipe lies mainly in the core ratio; the materials can be substituted if necessary.¡±


    Thinking like someone from the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai took out 1000 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and gave them to Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Master, what is this for?¡±


    Luo Yixuan was seeing so many Spirit Stones for the first time; converted into low-grade Spirit Stones, it was a huge sum of a hundred thousand, causing her to breathe rapidly with a slightly blushed face.


    ¡°In the past, senior brother Yuan sold a bag of Longevity Tree Sap to King Zhou for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. You are my disciple, so naturally, I cannot just take your opportunity for nothing; this is for you.¡±


    ¡°Master, you¡¯ve taught me for so many years, provided unlimited Spirit Rice, supported my Foundation Establishment, and given me a Magic Artifact. I have never given you anything in return. Now that I have obtained something you need from the Secret Realm, how can I accept your Spirit Stones.¡±


    Despite facing a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Luo Yixuan shook her head resolutely, refusing firmly.


    ¡°I taught you because you are my disciple; take it, your master does not lack Spirit Stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not willing to take advantage of his young disciple; he was now earning tens of thousands of Spirit Stones annually and had obtained a million from Fu Zongjue. To him, giving away these mere hundred thousand was nothing.


    Moreover, if he took Luo Yixuan¡¯s fortune without giving Spirit Stones, wouldn¡¯t that be like the master-disciple relationship he despised in the Eastern Wilderness?


    Even for the sake of his own Dao Heart, he insisted on Luo Yixuan accepting it.


    ¡°Master, how about I take some of it now, and the rest can stay with you since I don¡¯t need so many Spirit Stones right now anyway.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Luo Yixuan made a suggestion, and seeing that she genuinely did not want to accept it all, Chen Mobai shook his head and agreed.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ll take 100 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones first, and deduct the ten thousand points for the Foundation Building Pill conversion from it as well.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai wrote a note for Luo Yixuan indicating that she had 800 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones stored with him, which she accepted with a gaze filled with unprecedented anticipation.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What is it?¡±


    Luo Yixuan: ¡°You are the best Master in the whole world!¡±

 Chapter 840 - Chapter 840 Chapter 474 Two Years

    Chapter 840: Chapter 474 Two Years Chapter 840: Chapter 474 Two Years Luo Yixuan left Giant Tree Ridge, and Chen Mobai, together with Zhuo Ming, sowed the Green Jade Spirit Rice. They also conducted a new hybridization experiment on those two acres of Rank-3 Spirit Fields.


    He hoped to cultivate a variety of Rank-3 Spirit Rice that was suitable for the environment of Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, this was destined to be a long-term experiment. Having already brought up Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai gave some instructions and then returned to his new Taoist body practice site to start his seclusion for cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.


    It was the best body forging technique of the Divine Wood Sect, and the method of cultivation was quite simple: just refine the Longevity Tree Sap.


    Without the Longevity Tree Sap, one would have to draw in the spiritual energy of the water and wood attributes into the body themselves, but the efficiency of the two methods was drastically different.


    King Zhou Wangshen had enough Longevity Tree Sap, and it took roughly ten years just to barely cultivate the first level of the Longevity Dao Body.


    If one relied solely on drawing in spiritual energy for improvement, it probably would take about ten times longer.


    Even for Golden Core Cultivators, a hundred years spent only on cultivating a body refining technique that prolonged life, strengthened the physique, and had powerful restorative abilities was considered a huge loss.


    But with the Longevity Tree Sap, it was a completely different story. Ten years was a timeframe even Qi Practitioners could afford.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai also had the ¡°Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique¡± from the Talent Tree.


    This secret technique could use the Green-sun Fire to rapidly refine and volatilize the potent vitality within the Longevity Tree Sap, allowing it to permeate and dye the entire body down to the bone marrow, speeding up the process of cultivating the Longevity Dao Body even further.


    For Chen Mobai, the only problem with cultivating this body refining technique was not having enough Longevity Tree Sap.


    The first level of the Longevity Dao Body required infusing each of the body¡¯s 206 bones with a drop of Longevity Tree Sap to achieve an indestructible skeletal structure. Then, through the bones, the overwhelming vitality had to radiate from within and soak every organ, muscle, skin, meridian, and acupoint.


    Chen Mobai had already refined 30 drops before, and together with the 100 drops offered by Luo Yixuan, he was still short by 76 drops.


    However, this was not a difficult issue for him.


    He could always cultivate a few more Water Attribute techniques and then plunder the Magic Treasure Tree.


    After all, he could fully invest in such time.


    But it would be best if Liu Wenbo succeeded in his Foundation Establishment. This eldest disciple had cultivated both wood and water attribute techniques, and if he went to the Magic Treasure Tree, there was a chance he could produce Longevity Tree Sap, just like Luo Yixuan.


    Even if Liu Wenbo couldn¡¯t manage it, the Divine Wood Sect had quite a few true disciples who cultivated Water Attribute techniques.


    Since Chen Mobai could cover for them, he didn¡¯t wait any longer. After handling everything that needed attention, he began refining the Longevity Tree Sap drop by drop.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, the Green-sun Fire had long become smooth and refined. Using it as fuel, a drop of Longevity Tree Sap brimming with vitality took only about seven or eight days for him to completely refine and merge into one of his bones.


    Chen Mobai also tried refining the Longevity Tree Sap without using the Precious Fire Forging Technique.


    The efficiency was cut in half; without the technique, it took half a month to refine and merge just one drop.


    With every drop of Longevity Tree Sap refined, Chen Mobai distinctly felt his physical body grow stronger, and this sensation of constant change and enhancement made him helplessly addicted.


    Furthermore, as his physical body grew stronger, Chen Mobai felt his control over spiritual power and divine sense becoming more precise. He could even perform delicate maneuvers that were previously impossible.


    Such slight improvements delighted him even more.


    Because, in the end, the Core Formation stage was about testing control. Chen Chun had said that if he failed at Core Formation, it would probably be because he couldn¡¯t manage the surging power at the final stage.


    He never expected that cultivating the body refining technique would yield such rewards.


    After realizing this, Chen Mobai became even more fascinated with cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.


    Before long, a year had passed, and Chen Mobai had refined half of the big bag of Longevity Tree Sap from Luo Yixuan.


    One day, as he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed an abrupt and violent increase in spiritual power fluctuations beneath the Longevity Wood.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but awaken from his state of entering tranquility, and activating his Void Spirit Eye, he looked down and soon spotted his eldest disciple in the midst of a Foundation Establishment attempt.


    After a while, a regretful expression appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    Ultimately, his eldest disciple¡¯s foundation was insufficient, and he failed to succeed in one go.


    ¡°Wen Bo, there¡¯s no need to force a transformation, lest irreversible damage occurs. If you¡¯ve failed, just let it be,¡± he said, as he noticed Liu Wenbo¡¯s liquid spiritual power in the Dantian Qi Sea starting to scatter, and Liu Wenbo attempting to forcibly stop the process to continue his Foundation Establishment. He sent a message to wake him.

    Chen Mobai¡¯s three disciples revered him like a deity, so upon hearing his words, Liu Wenbo¡¯s face struggled for a moment, and then he dejectedly relinquished his control over the spiritual power.


    The powerful spiritual energy that had been gathering around him began to slowly dissipate.


    After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Wenbo opened his eyes, pale-faced. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s figure not far away, his expression was one of discouragement and despair.


    ¡°Disciple is incompetent, I have failed at Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°In a person¡¯s life, failure is the norm, success is but a chance occurrence. What you must do is seek success after continuous failure,¡± Chen Mobai consoled his earnest eldest disciple. Despite not having as high hopes for him as for Zhuo Ming, years of being together had built affection, and seeing his pale face and the despair in his eyes, as if he had reached life¡¯s end, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but offer words of comfort.

 Chapter 841 - Chapter 841 Chapter 474 Two Years_2

    Chapter 841: Chapter 474 Two Years_2 Chapter 841: Chapter 474 Two Years_2 ¡°`


    ¡°Master, I will manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop with peace of mind from now on, hoping to stay by your side forever.¡±


    Liu Wenbo had grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since he was a child. Although he was simple by nature, he had grown accustomed to seeing disciples who failed to break through their realm being dismissed by their masters, with the bond between them gradually fading until they never met again.


    His decade on Little Nan Mountain had been the most carefree time of his life. Now, after failing at Foundation Establishment, he deeply feared that his relationship with Chen Mobai would fade away, which made him somewhat anxious.


    ¡°You¡¯re not even forty years old yet, and this attempt at Foundation Establishment didn¡¯t diminish your lifespan. You still have at least two more chances, so why be so disheartened? Just rest for a while, and wait until the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms is ready.¡±


    Chen Mobai actually still had a Foundation Building Pill. He had bought two from the South Profound Sect¡¯s Treasure-Colored Market in the past, originally intended for Chen Xinglan, but after his father failed the Foundation Establishment again, he had simply given up.


    The remaining pill had been planned for his cousin to use if she failed at Foundation Establishment.


    But upon reflection, he thought it better to avoid leaving any traces with the Immortal Gate, so he kept it with him all this time.


    Chen Mobai had also considered that if any of his three disciples failed at Foundation Establishment, he could give it to them, but observing Liu Wenbo¡¯s state of mind, he felt that even if he were given ten Foundation Building Pills, the result would likely be the same. Therefore, he decided to first temper his eldest disciple.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Having heard this, Liu Wenbo¡¯s expression slightly eased.


    Chen Mobai asked him to stretch out his hand and took his pulse to ensure that there were no lingering issues after the failed Foundation Establishment before nodding and confidently returning to the wooden house in the tree.


    About three days later, Liu Wenbo¡¯s strength had recovered, and he sent a message to Chen Mobai, suggesting that he was considering leaving.


    ¡°Although you didn¡¯t harm your lifespan with the failed Foundation Establishment, it still affected your essence. After returning, rest well for two years. If you really get bored, go help Zhuo Ming with farming, and make sure to not engage in magic duels or overexert yourself in these next few years.¡±


    Chen Mobai came down to send off his eldest disciple, giving him a few personal words of advice. Liu Wenbo nodded, his face showing a hint of shame as he left the Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Chen Mobai was also disheartened for a couple of days over this matter.


    However, he was not the same person who once became mentally obstructed when Meng Huang failed at Core Formation or Chansi departed. Now more mature, he was able to accept reality amidst his sadness.


    A person¡¯s life is mostly filled with disappointments.


    Only by extending one¡¯s life can one find those precious successes amidst many failures.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai¡¯s motivation to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body was stronger than ever.


    In the meantime, he made a trip back to the Repairing Heaven Institute because he had largely finished his academic career there, having graduated with full marks from his main courses in governance and warfare.


    He still hadn¡¯t grasped the Guidance Book, but he wasn¡¯t concerned about it.


    The Repairing Heaven Institute, following Elder Yuanxu¡¯s wishes, would naturally prefer Chen Mobai to stay, especially since they needed his help to repair the Formless Puppets.


    For this reason, Fu Borong personally sought out Chen Mobai for a discussion, mentioning the possibility of arranging for him to join the official ranks of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen. Such a position, with enough tenure, would ensure receipt of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill ¡ª as long as he was willing to stay in the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    But Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t wait that long, and with too many secrets to guard, he feared revealing anything to Elder Yuanxu, whose intellect was approaching the Transformation God Level.


    Thus, he tactfully declined, stating that his five years of study at the Repairing Heaven Institute had broadened his horizons and that he had vaguely captured the inspiration to form his Golden Core.


    Precisely because of this, he did not have the mental capacity to ponder the Divinity Transformation Technique of the Guidance Book and now wished to focus exclusively on cultivation. In the most tender part of his heart, on that pure land within, he aimed to touch the Golden Core Dao.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, not only Fu Borong but also Elder Yuanxu were stunned.


    Fearing they might actually hinder a potential master of Divinity Transformation from the Immortal Gate, they immediately granted his graduation certificate.


    ¡°If you had decided to stay, the elder was planning to personally open a portal for you once¡­¡±


    On the day he received his graduation certificate, Fu Borong spoke with a look of regret.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to hear this.


    Opening a Golden Core Domain within the Immortal Gate requires the assistance of the supreme treasure known as a portal, and using such a treasure would typically require a Nascent Soul Superior at the very least.


    After reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had applied for the opening of a Golden Core Domain through the official network of Xianmen.


    However, as the two new Golden Core Masters in recent years had successfully opened their domains during their Foundation Establishment, no Nascent Soul Superior was inclined to expend elemental energy on such a trivial matter, hence he remained in the queue.


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai had never expected that Elder Yuanxu would actually be willing to take action for his sake.


    Nevertheless, even so, Chen Mobai¡¯s determination to leave the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy remained unwavering.


    With resources from two worlds at his disposal, as long as he could successfully reach Core Formation, his future would be bright anywhere he went.


    The Golden Core Domain was indeed excellent, but compared to Core Formation, it could be set aside.


    And even if he hadn¡¯t successfully established a domain during his Foundation Establishment, there would still be chances after Core Formation.


    Therefore, as soon as his period of study came to an end, Chen Mobai decisively chose to graduate.


    The only thing he regretted was having to part with Yan Bingxuan. Although she had entered the threshold of studying the Yuanqi system, synthesizing the Ice Soul Divine Light would still require her to learn more and attempt a multitude of experiments.


    The Patching Heaven Institute had the best experimental conditions for this, so staying was her best choice.


    ¡°I can apply for graduation next year too,¡± Yan Bingxuan said as she and Chen Mobai walked down the streets of Xixuan Dongtian the night he left the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy.


    ¡°What do you plan to do after you graduate?¡± he asked.


    ¡°The Red Dawn Institution has the backing of the Nature Studies Academy; I¡¯ll become a teacher there. After serving for enough years, I¡¯ll exchange for a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill. I hope that I¡¯ll be successful in reaching Core Formation,¡± Yan Bingxuan said, looking straight into Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes. She had more to say but held it back.


    She wanted to catch up to his pace and accompany him on his journey.


    Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback when he heard this and instinctively tried to persuade her.


    ¡°After I return, I might enter closed-door cultivation for a decade or two, so there¡¯s no need for you to follow me back. Take this rare opportunity to enrich and improve yourself within the Patching Heaven Institute,¡± he said.


    Yan Bingxuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and wanted to express her feelings, but she also felt Chen Mobai made a lot of sense.


    If he really were to go into deep closed-door cultivation for many years upon his return, being by herself in Red Sandstone City wouldn¡¯t make much sense.


    ¡°Then, when you come out of seclusion, remember to call me,¡± she said.


    Ultimately, Yan Bingxuan followed Chen Mobai¡¯s advice and stayed at the Patching Heaven Institute to synthesize the Ice Soul Divine Light before making any further decisions.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll call you first after I form my core!¡± Chen Mobai confidently stated. Anyone else saying this might have been dismissed by Yan Bingxuan as boasting, but when it came from Mobai, she felt nothing but pride.


    ¡°After you form your core, I hope you can wait for me, not advancing too quickly,¡± Yan Bingxuan suddenly said before they parted.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t grasp her meaning and shook his head to indicate that as a follower of the Sect of Realms, he would never stop pursuing higher realms with the greatest speed.


    Yan Bingxuan, wearing an expression of speechlessness, sent Chen Mobai off to the airport.


    Upon returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai nominally rented a Rank-3 Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room from Cinnabarite Institute, left a puppet there to show he was cultivating.


    In truth, his true body had returned to the Tianhe Realm and, taking advantage of the Fourth Grade Superior spirit vein of the Everlife Wood, he continued his cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body.


    Another year quickly passed by.

    On this day, Chen Mobai finished refining the last drop of the Longevity Tree Sap and stepped outside to have a chat with Meng Hong, wanting to know if there were any new Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect who had opened the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It wouldn¡¯t be polite to go empty-handed, so Chen Mobai planned to make a trip to Little Nan Mountain first to get a couple of jars of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming.


    Just as he flew over Little Nan Mountain, his expression suddenly turned to one of surprise and confusion.


    He activated his Void Spirit Eye and peered towards the thousand-acre Spirit Field below, only to see the immense earth seemingly come to life at this very moment, as an endless stream of earth vein spiritual energy surged towards a certain spot at the base of Little Nan Mountain.


    What was going on?

 Chapter 842 - Chapter 842 475

    Chapter 842: 475 Chapter 842: 475 Chen Mobai was first puzzled, then seemed to think of something, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised.


    Fearing that his aura would disturb the now seamlessly integrated spiritual energy of the earth vein below, he carefully halted his progress and observed the core of the disturbance from afar in the sky with his Void Spirit Eye.


    It was at the edge of the two acres of Rank-3 Spirit Field in Little South Mountain Territory. Previously, Chen Mobai had exchanged for five Life Stones from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and, together with one purchased from Sect Disciples, he buried them all in the Rank-2 top-grade Spirit Field, hoping to level them up to Rank-3 Spirit Fields.


    And the one tending to these Spirit Fields could only be Zhuo Ming, for only she understood the intricacies involved.


    Through the vision of the Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai saw the earth¡¯s energy at the core of Little South Mountain¡¯s Rank-3 Spirit Vein awakening from a long slumber, as if streams of extremely pure Mother Qi of All Things surged from the vast land, rushing toward the ground at Zhuo Ming¡¯s feet at the edge of the Rank-3 Spirit Field.


    Soon it emerged from the ground, transforming into streams of yellowish light, almost forming a cocoon that resembled a mother¡¯s womb, enveloping Zhuo Ming within it.


    This cocoon was like an embryo nurtured by the earth, sealing all the Mother Qi of vitality within it, even continuously drawing the spirit Essence from the thousand-acre Spirit Fields around Little South Mountain and injecting it into Zhuo Ming¡¯s body.


    Was this the scene of Foundation Establishment using Mother Earth Cultivation Technique?


    Upon seeing this with the Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel. However, he soon remembered that Zhuo Ming seemed not to have exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill!


    That is to say, she was now undergoing Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment!


    Only under such a state could such a magnificent scene of Foundation Establishment be triggered. If it were any other Divine Wood Sect disciple practicing the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, even if they succeeded with the aid of a Foundation Building Pill, they would probably only manage to draw a few strands of Earth Mother Air.


    Unlike Zhuo Ming, all the Spirit Fields within the Little South Mountain Territory seemed to be eagerly offering their intrinsic vitality, wishing her success in her path.


    Chen Mobai watched as a blade of grass broke through the soil at Zhuo Ming¡¯s feet, sprouted, and grew, and also observed numerous flowers of various colors blooming, even several Green Jade and Fire Spirit Rice panicles matured, soon transforming into a sea of flowers and verdant growth at the foot of Little South Mountain.


    This indicated that Zhuo Ming¡¯s body was already filled with Mother Qi of vitality to the brim, unable to absorb even a bit more; thus, all the surplus swept to the Spirit Fields under her feet were absorbed by them, and the seeds of plants and Spirit Rice enshrouded within began to bloom in response to this infusion of vitality, each presenting its most beautiful aspect.


    Chen Mobai noticed his first disciple, Liu Wenbo, with a look of astonishment on his face, speeding toward Little South Mountain, so to prevent him from affecting Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai pulled him over to his side.


    ¡°Greetings, Master, what is this¡­?¡±


    Liu Wenbo had been cultivating and resting on his own Wing Mountain, but today, during meditation, he felt a disturbance in the spirit vein¡¯s energy and thought something had gone wrong. His sense of duty immediately made him stop circulating power and rush toward Little South Mountain.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er is undergoing Foundation Establishment, and the nearby earth veins of Little South Mountain are assisting her in condensing the ¡®Mother Qi of All Things¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply explained, and at first, Liu Wenbo was merely pleasantly surprised and happy for Zhuo Ming, but soon he too realized the gravity and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of shock.


    ¡°Shimei is¡­ Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment!¡±


    ¡°Yes, although I knew that among the three of you, Ming¡¯er had the deepest foundation and the highest probability of successful Foundation Establishment, I never imagined she could achieve such a feat.¡±


    Chen Mobai was full of emotion.


    Even he had relied on the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method and the Six Yang Celestial Fire Mirror to achieve Foundation Establishment through Hearing the Path after the Longevity Scripture, a process filled with the hand of craft.


    Compared to his second disciple, who achieved Foundation Establishment with the assistance of the natural mountains and earth veins, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°Shimei is truly¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo was at a loss for words to praise her at this moment. Although he had mentally prepared to accept being the weakest elder brother on Little South Mountain after his failure in Foundation Establishment, Zhuo Ming¡¯s successful Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment still deeply shocked him.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, other than those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, only immortals like his Master could achieve this.


    As a disciple who entered Chen Mobai¡¯s tutelage alongside Zhuo Ming, Liu Wenbo suddenly felt as if he were an extraneous addition.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be discouraged, just do your best.¡±

    Chen Mobai knew that his first disciple had been in a state of mental flux since his failed Foundation Establishment. Seeing his sorrowful expression, he couldn¡¯t help but speak words of comfort.


    And just at that moment, the earth mother cocoon enveloping Zhuo Ming also began to crack open.


    With a cracking sound, a rich life essence aura wafted through the air, the accumulated energy within the cocoon slowly returning to the heavens and earth following Zhuo Ming¡¯s emergence.


    A pair of hands, like yellow jade, reached out from within the cocoon, tearing it apart, revealing a woman in a plain yellow robe, looking somewhat bewildered.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s appearance was merely passable, but after this transformation from Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, she exuded an unfolding purity, her sweet, round face filled with joy and uncertainty, eyes reflecting an innate freshness and natural beauty, like a peony in early spring blooming resplendently without limit.

 Chapter 843 - Chapter 843 Chapter 475 Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2

    Chapter 843: Chapter 475: Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2 Chapter 843: Chapter 475: Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2 ¡°Hahaha, indeed, among my disciples, Ming¡¯er, you are most like me.¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily as he descended from the sky with Liu Wenbo. Zhuo Ming, who had just undergone the body transformation that follows Foundation Establishment, immediately greeted him with a bow.


    ¡°Master, I achieved Foundation Establishment without taking a Foundation Building Pill. Will this cause any problems for my future cultivation advancement?¡±


    Zhuo Ming came from the background of a Loose Cultivator, and had spent over a decade at Xiao Nanshan, deeply engrossed in farming and talisman drawing, thus truly unaware of the concept of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment.


    Her success in Foundation Establishment this time was also a bit bewildering.


    While she was taking care of the six-mu Spirit Field embedded with Life Stones, she had inadvertently absorbed the Life Stone given to her by Chen Mobai. Today, she had just finished refining all the Earth Spirit Energy within it, when suddenly, the Spiritual Power of the Mother Earth Cultivation in her Dantian Qi Sea started operating on its own, drawing on the vitality of the earth beneath her feet.


    In this process, Zhuo Ming¡¯s heart and mind once again merged with the Earth Spirit, entering the process of Enlightenment and feeling the pulse of the thousand-acre Spirit Field centered on Xiao Nanshan, as well as the breathing of all living things rooted in the earth.


    Not knowing how much time had passed, Zhuo Ming awoke naturally as if from a sleep.


    She found herself seemingly within a ball of earth and couldn¡¯t resist stretching out her hands to break the shell. However, she hadn¡¯t expected she had already broken through in her cultivation, tearing it open easily.


    Although she was confused, the breakthrough to the tenth layer of the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, the Foundation Establishment Realm, made Zhuo Ming extremely happy.


    But her happiness was followed by uncertainty about her inexplicable Foundation Establishment process, worried that she might have strayed into the Evil Path.


    Seeing Chen Mobai appear, she greeted him and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°This is the highest form of Foundation Establishment. In the past, I too gained the opportunity to comprehend Foundation Establishment while traveling through mountains and rivers¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai explained the concept of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment to Zhuo Ming with a hearty laugh, taking the chance to polish his own reputation in front of his disciple, since his persona as an unrivaled genius was well established.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, Master. Then I won¡¯t need that Foundation Building Pill, and it can be given to the eldest senior brother.¡±


    After listening to the explanation, Zhuo Ming uttered a sentence that filled Liu Wenbo with excited tears.


    ¡°Zhuo Shimei, this this this¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo¡¯s eyes brimmed with tears, and he became somewhat stammering. He then eagerly looked at Chen Mobai, as in the end, this matter would require the teacher¡¯s approval, even if Zhuo Ming was willing.


    ¡°That Foundation Building Pill is Ming¡¯er¡¯s possession. Since she wishes to give it to you, her senior brother, it shows her respect and affection for you. You should accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai had originally planned to temper Liu Wenbo for a few more years before giving him his Foundation Building Pill. Now that Zhuo Ming had achieved Foundation Establishment through Enlightenment and had already offered it, he would naturally not disrupt the affectionate atmosphere among his disciples.


    ¡°Thank you, Master, thank you Zhuo Shimei!¡±


    Liu Wenbo felt as though he had seen a light in the darkness. He had thought he would be sent to the margins after his first failure at Foundation Establishment, yet not only did Chen Mobai comfort him, but Zhuo Ming was also willing to give him the Foundation Building Pill. This kind of relationship between master and disciple, and among sect members, was simply unimaginable in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for following you to become a disciple back then, there wouldn¡¯t be a me today. Perhaps that cause from that day was meant for today¡¯s result.¡±


    After her Foundation Establishment, Zhuo Ming¡¯s entire demeanor and spirituality seemed renewed, uttering words that even surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Wen Bo, go and fetch two jars of wine from the cellar. Ming¡¯er, you will come with me to see the Sect Leader shortly, and it¡¯s also a good time to collect the post-Foundation Establishment techniques for the Mother Earth Cultivation.¡±


    No sooner had Chen Mobai finished speaking than Liu Wenbo excitedly headed to the nearby wine cellar.


    Seizing the opportunity, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming channel some Spiritual Power to him.


    [Metal 3, Wood 20, Water 21, Fire 9, Earth 50].


    Observing Zhuo Ming¡¯s Spiritual Root Value displayed on the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instrument in his palm, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    Compared to before refining the Life Stone, Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Spirit Root had increased by 3 points, previously being only 47 points.


    This indicated that Life Stones, a precious type of ore, could enhance one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    But it was unclear whether a single Life Stone could only increase the Earth Spirit Root by 3 points, or whether the reduction in effect was due to the part of the stone¡¯s energy previously absorbed by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Cultivating Disciples.


    Proving this was simple, as Chen Mobai had acquired another Life Stone from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion over the past two years. He took it out from his Storage Bag and handed it to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve achieved Foundation Establishment with it, it seems you are fated to be with this Life Stone. Absorb another one, and then channel Spiritual Power to me again.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming was unaware of his reasons, she never questioned Chen Mobai¡¯s orders, nodding earnestly as she took the Life Stone.

    By this time, Liu Wenbo had also brought over two jars of Jade Spirit Wine. Chen Mobai asked him to handle the affairs following Zhuo Ming¡¯s Foundation Establishment, while he took Zhuo Ming to Divine Wood City.


    They visited Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu first. Chu, upon hearing of Zhuo Ming¡¯s Foundation Establishment through Enlightenment, marveled and scrutinized this niece who had previously gone unnoticed.


    ¡°Little brother, not only is your cultivation talent outstanding, but your teaching skills are also top-notch. If I had been born a hundred years later, I would definitely have wished to become your disciple.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply smiled in response to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s comment.


    After updating Zhuo Ming¡¯s sect nameplate, she became recognized as a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 844 - Chapter 844 Chapter 475 Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_3

    Chapter 844: Chapter 475 Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_3 Chapter 844: Chapter 475 Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_3 After completing the identity change, Chen Mobai took her to various departments to collect their courtyard, shop, and the Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling.


    Previously, Luo Yixuan had also used his influence to easily secure a location in the best position.


    Zhuo Ming, however, did not choose one of the vacant Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings, but instead picked one near Xiao Nanshan named Tangerine Mountain, a Rank-2 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling.


    She had grown accustomed to using Court Mountain as her dwelling and, since Chen Mobai acquired the Longevity Wood Dojo, the Rank-3 Spirit Vein on Xiao Nanshan belonged to her as well, ensuring she wouldn¡¯t lack Spiritual Energy after Foundation Establishment.


    Although Tangerine Mountain only had a Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it was covered in a type of Spiritual Tangerine Tree. The tangerines were quite bitter, but their rinds were a type of Spiritual Medicine frequently purchased by the Alchemy Department and even other sect disciples.


    Zhuo Ming chose it because she intended to incorporate the hundred acres of barren land that came with Tangerine Mountain into the Xiao Nanshan system and further expand her farming scale.


    Her Mother Earth Cultivation involved achieving Foundation Establishment through the prolonged farming, and she felt that if she wanted to make further progress, she had to return to her roots.


    Chen Mobai respected her choice but still helped her select a set of Spirit Gathering Array from the Formation Division, so at least she could enjoy the Spiritual Energy of a lower-grade Rank-3 on her own Court Mountain.


    By the time Chen Mobai left with Zhuo Ming to go drink with Meng Hong, essentially half of the Divine Wood Sect knew about his second disciple¡¯s achievement of Foundation Establishment without a pill.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying, that Zhuo Ming, was once rejected when she applied to join my Talisman Making Department!¡±


    The head of the Talisman Making Department was named Cao Lian, and upon hearing what the Inspection Envoy Wang Zhang said, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°Why would I lie to you, I, together with Junior Brother Chen, am an Inspection Envoy of the Reward Virtue Hall. We learned about it on the way to Lei Nation when we accompanied the Sect Leader to confront Shake Mountain Peak, he mentioned it offhandedly knowing that I was from the Talisman Making Department.¡± Wang Zhang said.


    After he finished, Cao Lian immediately called for Ding Ying to locate the applications of disciples who joined the sect from Yun Country over a decade ago.


    Ding Ying didn¡¯t understand why, but apart from her behavior, her outstanding operational ability allowed her to become a true inheritor in the Talisman Making Department.


    Even though it was an old record, she managed to find it within an hour from the sect¡¯s library.


    Cao Lian flipped through and indeed found Zhuo Ming¡¯s application, which had been rejected by true inheritor Ding Ying.


    This sort of minor issue was something their rank of Foundation Establishment did not bother with anymore, so they left it to the capable disciples of the department.


    ¡°Why did you reject Zhuo Ming when she applied to join the department?¡±


    Upon hearing Cao Lian¡¯s emotionless question, Ding Ying¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat; she had been worried about this ever since Zhuo Ming became the top true inheritor.


    However, at that time, her actions weren¡¯t against the rules because Zhuo Ming¡¯s talisman-making skills and talent were mediocre coming out of Bud Hall. She couldn¡¯t compete with the other disciples who applied at the same time, which is why she was rejected by Ding Ying.

    ¡°Did you know that she has already succeeded in Foundation Establishment!¡±


    After hearing the reply, Cao Lian¡¯s finger stopped on the phrase ¡°ordinary talent¡± written in the comments and coldly uttered a sentence.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible, she gave her Foundation Building Pill to Liu Wenbo and had to wait for the next batch.¡± Ding Ying could hardly believe it, as Zeng Woyou¡¯s refining of Foundation Building Pills was closely watched by the entire Divine Wood Sect. Could it be that Chen Mobai obtained one from outside?


    ¡°She achieved it through Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment!¡±


    Upon hearing Cao Lian¡¯s words, Ding Ying was so shocked she froze on the spot.

 Chapter 845 - Chapter 845 Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication

    Chapter 845: Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication Chapter 845: Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication In front of the gateway to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Chen Mobai and Meng Hong Lu Yi were drinking Spiritual Wine and eating Spirit Rice, thoroughly reveling in the moment, oblivious to the fact that half of the Divine Wood Sect was bustling with excitement over Zhuo Ming¡¯s Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°You lucky lad, how do you always have such good luck? You randomly pick up a disciple and she can establish her foundation by hearing the path.¡±


    Meng Hong was quite direct in his speech. After taking a sip of the wine and smacking his lips twice, he spoke with a hint of envy.


    He could be said to have the most disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, just considering those at the Foundation Establishment level, there were Luo Xue¡¯er, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun, and Mu Yuan, four people.


    But no matter which one you compared, they fell short when compared to establishing a foundation by hearing the path.


    ¡°I realized her extraordinary talent from the beginning, which is why I took her as my disciple. It¡¯s a testament to my discerning eye, not simply good luck.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, dissatisfied with Meng Hong¡¯s words.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s just say you have a good eye.¡±


    Meng Hong was too lazy to argue with Chen Mobai any longer and picked up his cup of wine; the three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.


    ¡°In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only your wine is strong enough.¡±


    Lu Yi commented with a satisfied expression, savoring the flavor.


    After Zhuo Ming¡¯s Foundation Establishment, naturally she would seek her fortune within the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Chen Mobai could only invite Lu Yi over to open the gateway once again.


    This time, however, was quite fortunate, as last year two other True Disciples, Jiang Zongheng, had also succeeded in their Foundation Establishment. He had already applied to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but Lu Yi found it troublesome and intended to wait for this batch of disciples to take their Foundation Building Pills before opening the realm for everyone all at once.


    But with Zhuo Ming¡¯s Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment and Chen Mobai personally extending an invitation, it became a different matter.


    Considering the fine wine, Lu Yi gave in and came over to do the cumbersome task.


    Jiang Zongheng also got to join in and, together with Zhuo Ming, entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    When the two of them came out, Jiang Zongheng once again thanked Chen Mobai.


    Unfortunately, since he was practicing the Longevity Scripture, he didn¡¯t acquire any Longevity Tree Sap from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    As for Zhuo Ming, there was even less need to mention her. She only got a handful of dark soil, which upon inspection by Chen Mobai and the others, was confirmed to likely be ¡°Everlife Soil.¡±


    For a Third-Rank Golden Sun Spirit Tree to advance to a Fourth Order Longevity Wood, besides needing to reach the Third Rank Peak itself, it also requires to be rooted in ¡°Everlife Soil.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially thought that all the soil around his new dojo was Everlife Soil and felt that Zhuo Ming¡¯s opportunity went to waste.


    However, Meng Hong explained that once the Golden Sun Spirit Tree grew into a Fourth Order Longevity Wood, its roots would merge into the earth¡¯s veins and the Everlife Soil would be completely absorbed, disappearing without a trace.


    Ever since the True Lord Yuan had moved the three Longevity Woods to Giant Tree Ridge, there was no Everlife Soil left.


    ¡°Could this handful of soil nurture a new Longevity Wood?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s unlikely that just a handful will suffice; at minimum, you¡¯d probably need to surround the entire root area with it.¡±


    Neither Meng Hong nor Lu Yi was familiar with such matters, for after all, Longevity Woods were the treasures of the Divine Wood Sect, scarce even in the Eastern Wilderness.


    It wasn¡¯t just them; even their ancestor Ancestor Hunyuan had never witnessed a Golden Sun Spirit Tree upgrading into a Longevity Wood.


    ¡°It¡¯s barely useful, I suppose. But compared to planting a tree, I think it would be better to incorporate this Everlife Soil into the Spirit Field. Who knows, it might yield an acre of Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Field.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the handful of dark soil in Zhuo Ming¡¯s hand, shook his head and expressed his opinion. To upgrade a Longevity Wood, they might need a hundred disciples like Zhuo Ming entering the Secret Realm and plucking from the Magic Treasure Tree to gather enough resources.


    He estimated that even if he succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul and extended his lifespan, he couldn¡¯t wait that long¡­ Ah¡­ was there a possibility¡­


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts began to wander, an idea abruptly occurred to him.


    Currently, the Divine Wood Sect allowed only the talents who had successfully established their foundation on the first try to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm for a chance to gain resources from the Magic Treasure Tree and the Talent Tree.


    If he were to take charge and let all Foundation Establishment Practitioners enter and pluck once, would it then be possible to gather enough soil resources to upgrade a Golden Sun Spirit Tree into a Longevity Wood?


    The key to this problem was whether Chen Mobai could persuade the two Nascent Soul Ancestors, Zhou Fu.


    He believed that if he formed his Nascent Soul, he could do it.


    After all, instead of hoarding the treasures of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, it was better to generously offer them up to all Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment Practitioners for their chance.


    This would not only increase the loyalty of the sect¡¯s Cultivators but also strengthen their power and streamline tasks. This way, both the Everlife Soil and Longevity Tree Sap could be quickly gathered for one person per tree, nurturing talents on par with Chen Mobai.


    The overall strength of the sect would grow, which could lead to the birth of more high-order Cultivators.


    However, Chen Mobai also considered the existing mentality of treasure hoarding in the Eastern Wilderness, which might hinder his grand plan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If he proposed this plan, those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had already entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm might feel imbalanced and oppose it.


    Therefore, a long-term strategy was needed.


    When Chen Mobai said goodbye to Zhuo Ming, Meng Hong, and Lu Yi, he hesitated but still didn¡¯t share his thoughts with them.


    He decided it was better to wait until he formed his Nascent Soul and had the power to manage the overall situation of the sect before broaching the subject.


    ¡°Master, in the Talent Tree, I got a method for refining Legal Treasures called Earth Wood Crystal Sand¡­¡±

 Chapter 846 - Chapter 846 Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication_2

    Chapter 846: Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication_2 Chapter 846: Chapter 476 All Things Spiritual Communication_2 When only the two of them were left, Zhuo Ming began to chatter about her gains within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    This Earth Wood Crystal Sand is a kind of sand-like magic artifact, made from Everlife Soil and Everlife Wood, coupled with the Earthly Fiendish Qi of the Earth and Wood attributes. Once completed, each grain of crystal sand contains supreme power. The collision of just two grains can trigger a chain of explosions, earth-shattering and sky-shocking.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a jolt of excitement. Wasn¡¯t this just Divine Thunder!


    But clearly this is a more powerful version. According to Zhuo Ming¡¯s description, up to twelve types of Earthly Fiendish Qi can be incorporated into this Earth Wood Crystal Sand, requiring a balance of two types mixed in during the refining process.


    The power could reach up to Rank-3.


    At that time, the might of a single quake would extinguish all living creatures within a thousand li radius, the land would crack, and the magmatic fires would reach the sky. Even if it could kill the opponent, the user would be left with a deep karmic burden.


    This kind of description nearly matched those doomsday weapons advertised on the military programs of the Immortal Gates.


    Although Chen Mobai was a peace lover, he still thought that it would be good for the Divine Wood Sect to store some of these.


    In case there was a war with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace in the future, this item could instantly change the battle situation!


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming to see Ancestor Fu, and mentioned the Earth Wood Crystal Sand to him, which certainly brightened his eyes.


    ¡°This thing can¡¯t be entrusted to others. I happen to be good at artifact refining, and we have an abundance of Everlife Wood. But as for the Everlife Soil¡­¡±


    Hearing what Fu Zongjue said, Chen Mobai introduced Zhuo Ming to him.


    Upon hearing that she was capable of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, Fu Zongjue was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I see. Since she is the future pillar of our sect, I can¡¯t be stingy.¡±


    As Fu Zongjue spoke, he took out a cyan-gray stone from his storage bag with a somewhat reluctant expression and handed it to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°This is a Refining God Stone, its effects similar to that of a Green Jade Spirit Rice. Infused into the body, it can slowly enhance Divine Sense and expand the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. I originally bought it from the East Barbarians, intending to use it for Xingzhou¡­¡±


    Fu Xingzhou had gone missing during the first great battle between Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak and hasn¡¯t been found to this day. Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body, previously hidden in Rock Country, was mainly operating in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness looking for him.


    Unfortunately, there has still been no news.


    Years went by, and if it weren¡¯t for the confirmation that he was not dead yet, Fu Zongjue would have given up hope.


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor Fu.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke, he signaled Zhuo Ming to accept the gift. However, when she handed over the black soil in her hands, she showed some reluctance.


    It seemed that in her eyes, this piece of Refining God Stone was not as important as the soil.


    ¡°Since Niece-Apprentice Zhuo is a promising disciple capable of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, it seems that you are quite compatible with the Mother Earth Cultivation. Here, let me write a note for you; take it to Lu Yi, and have him give you the complete Mother Earth Cultivation and all related inheritances for the Spirit Plant Master from the Department of Transmission.¡±


    Fu Zongjue continued his generosity.


    Mainly because Chen Mobai¡¯s lineage was now the legitimate and direct line of the Divine Wood Sect and a future pillar of the sect, he decided to open the door wide for her in the realm of cultivation techniques.


    Chen Mobai was surprised to hear this.


    He felt that Fu Zongjue¡¯s thinking was not at all conservative and that opening the Divine Tree Secret Realm to all Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the sect could easily persuade him.


    However, Chen Mobai still held back.


    After expressing their thanks to Ancestor Fu, they went to the Department of Transmission. Unfortunately, Lu Yi was drunk and not on duty, but with Ancestor Fu¡¯s note, the deputy head directly handed over everything listed to Zhuo Ming.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation Technique within the Divine Wood Sect was actually a supplementary cultivation technique, mainly used to aid in improving the skills of a Spirit Plant Master.


    But it was a technique Ancestor Hunyuan had exchanged with another cultivator of the same level, at a great cost.


    This technique could be practiced up to the late Gold Core stage, and at least Zhuo Ming, now possessing the complete version, had a look of excitement and satisfaction on her face that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    Zhuo Ming remembered the days when she was a Loose Cultivator, her father had worked hard his entire life and had only managed to acquire a cultivation technique that could be practiced up to the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Even then, the part about the Seventh Layer was missing by half.


    Yet even so, they were considered wealthy among the Loose Cultivators.


    At that time, Zhuo Ming never imagined that she would join the Divine Wood Sect, achieve Foundation Establishment successfully, or even obtain a Gold Core-level cultivation technique.


    And besides the Mother Earth Cultivation, books on the Spirit Plant Master inheritance from Rank-1 to Rank-3 in the Department of Transmission were also all given to Zhuo Ming.


    With these, Zhuo Ming felt that she could cultivate on the fields of Little Nan Mountain until the end of time without ever leaving.


    ¡°By the way, following the Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, cultivators are generally endowed with divine skills from heaven and earth. Have you felt anything different?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming about the gains from her Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment as she returned through the air, her face unable to hide her smiling expression.


    He had obtained the ¡°Fire Spirit Body,¡± and by virtue of this, he was able to effortlessly master the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and Primordial Yang Sword Slaughter. Also, the implicit benefits of practicing fire attribute spells and cultivation techniques were too numerous to count.


    ¡°Master, I haven¡¯t noticed anything different¡­ Just that my strength has increased greatly, and my divine sense and spiritual power have increased several times over¨Care these considered?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, was still a bit confused, but the latter knew his disciple¡¯s character and did not continue to inquire.


    Perhaps in the years to come, Zhuo Ming would discover what made her different from the times of her Qi Cultivation.


    Consider it a little Easter egg to look forward to.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai had already flown to the skies above Little Nan Mountain and saw Liu Wenbo earnestly directing the commoners at the foot of the mountain in farming tasks and so on.


    ¡°Senior Brother!¡±


    After landing, Zhuo Ming called out as usual, and upon hearing her, Liu Wenbo felt a mix of sentiment and excitement.


    It was because within the lineage of Xiao Nanshan, seniority wasn¡¯t determined by cultivation level.


    Zhuo Ming believed her ability to achieve Foundation Establishment was entirely owed to her perfect alignment with farming and the Mother Earth Cultivation, so immediately after landing, she took over command from Liu Wenbo and began directing the commoners.


    So engrossed in her tasks, Zhuo Ming even forgot her original plan to enter seclusion upon her return to review the Mother Earth Cultivation and the inheritance of the Spirit Plant Master.


    Seeing her love for farming, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh that he had taken on the right disciple.


    He also did not interfere, but rather shared a leisurely time with Liu Wenbo, cooking spirit rice and roasting spirit fish on the side.


    Liu Wenbo, due to his years managing the Little Nan Mountain Shop outside, had not fully mastered Chen Mobai¡¯s cooking skills and could only manage to make the food barely palatable.


    Suddenly, he found himself missing his little disciple and wondered how her search for the Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation had gone?


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, the sun had set, and after Zhuo Ming had sent the commoners away, she came over with a somewhat strange expression, holding a seedling of the Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Master, I think I may know what¡¯s different about me.¡±


    ¡°Eh, so soon!¡±


    Chen Mobai had initially thought this little Easter egg would remain hidden for a few years, but Zhuo Ming had already figured it out after just one day.


    ¡°Standing upon the spirit field, when my hand touched this seedling, my heart and mind were flooded with information about the kind of moist spirit soil it needs, how deeply it should be planted, and when it should next be fertilized, and so on.¡±


    What kind of divine skill is this?


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled¨Cis this specialized for farming?


    After Zhuo Ming explained, she realized her description was unclear and looked around. Her eyes then fell upon several peach trees that had been grown from the cores of Immortal Peaches.


    Although these peach trees were not as remarkable as the one from Black Cloud Mountain, under the careful nurturing of the master and disciple, they had managed to bear Rank-1 Spiritual Peaches.


    Zhuo Ming walked up to one of the peach trees and touched it. Then, opening her eyes, she said,


    ¡°If no external forces interfere, this Spiritual Peach tree will bloom its first flower on the seventeenth day of the third month next year, and will bear its first fruit on the twenty-ninth day of the eighth month.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo were taken aback with a look of shock.

    ¡°Can you communicate with spirit plants?¡±


    ¡°Mhm, I need to be standing on the ground to do it. It¡¯s not that I communicate with the spirit plants, but rather I become the soil that nourishes them. The spirit plants rooted in me will tell me the conditions that are best for their growth. I¡¯m essentially like their Earth Mother who nurtures them.¡±


    Zhuo Ming nodded and then touched the tea tree that Chen Mobai had grafted, sharing its habits and the ideal conditions for its level up.


    This was the divine skill bestowed by heaven and earth for her Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment of Mother Earth Cultivation!


    All Things Spiritual Communication!

 Chapter 847 - Chapter 847 Chapter 477 Preaching

    Chapter 847: Chapter 477: Preaching Chapter 847: Chapter 477: Preaching Chen Mobai once cherished high hopes for this tea tree, not only leveraging connections to obtain a Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud branch from the Bai family but also personally grafting it into the Great Dao Tree, wishing to use the abundant vitality of the Everlife Wood to change the tea tree¡¯s habits, making it possible for it to survive in Giant Tree Ridge.


    Regrettably, although the graft was successful, it was only Rank-1.


    A Rank-1 tea tree, even for his three disciples, was of little use.


    Nevertheless, as it was a tea tree he had grafted and planted himself, Chen Mobai still checked on it from time to time and even thought about cultivating and leveling it up should the opportunity arise.


    Now, with Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities, Chen Mobai felt that this extravagant hope seemed to have a chance of coming true.


    ¡°These tea trees won¡¯t do, it¡¯s already quite difficult for them to survive here.¡±


    There was a small tea garden on the mid-slopes of Xiao Nanshan, planting not only Chen Mobai¡¯s grafted tea tree but also twenty other tea trees gifted by Bai Dingxian in the past.


    But these tea trees were still better suited for slightly colder, shadier climates. Zhuo Ming felt regret as she touched a few of the plants and couldn¡¯t help but shake her head.


    ¡°I recall that Giant Tree Ridge also has many wild tea trees; the Spirit Plant Department should have records. I¡¯ll go find Shi Fengping later to see if we can transplant some of those wild tea trees here. When the time comes, you¡¯ll have to work hard to find suitable varieties for grafting and leveling up.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s love for farming was deeply ingrained, and drinking tea for long periods could enhance comprehension and thinking ability. What a pity the Bai family¡¯s Snow Needle Immortal Buds were not plentiful, so he had always been considering whether it was possible to cultivate a unique Rank-3 tea variety suited to the local climate.


    Zhuo Ming had the talent for it and could easily become a top-tier Spirit Plant Master.


    However, knowledge of tea tree-related spirit plants was scarce within the Divine Wood Sect; it was still necessary for her to systematically study at the Immortal Gate before coming back to teach.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    With years of farming experience, Zhuo Ming might be simple and slow in other aspects, but she was very keenly aware of the power of her Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities.


    With these abilities, she could quickly integrate the sect¡¯s spirit plant heritage and become a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master in the shortest time possible.


    She might even cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice or tea varieties.


    Thinking about this made her extremely excited.


    That evening, the master and disciples had another drink together, and the dishes Zhuo Ming cooked tasted different; she had inherited Chen Mobai¡¯s teachings and even surpassed the teacher.


    Chen Mobai ate to his satisfaction and stayed in Xiao Nanshan for a while longer.


    It wasn¡¯t out of gluttony but because Zhuo Ming had just completed her Foundation Establishment and had many questions about her subsequent cultivation that needed her teacher¡¯s instruction.


    On the first day, Zhuo Ming contemplated the complete texts of Mother Earth Cultivation and the Spirit Plant Master¡¯s inheritance on her own.


    The next day, she brought her doubts and notes to Xiao Nanshan.


    The knowledge needed after Foundation Establishment, compared to during Qi Cultivation, was deeper and more obscure. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t had the knowledge system of the Immortal Gate as support, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to take on the role of a teacher.


    Fortunately, although Zhuo Ming¡¯s comprehension was average, it matched perfectly with the cultivation of Mother Earth Cultivation. Plus, having attained Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities after Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, she had her own path to the heavens.


    Chen Mobai spent three days guiding her through the full text of Mother Earth Cultivation.


    There were parts Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t understand, but that was okay. The earth would gradually enlighten her during the process of farming.


    After discussing the contents of Foundation Establishment cultivation, Chen Mobai also took her for a visit to the Spirit Plant Department.


    Ever since Fu Zongjue had Shi Fengping start planting Green Jade Spirit Rice, the head of the Spirit Plant Department had wisely understood that Chen Mobai¡¯s status in the hearts of the two old ancestors would certainly surpass his, unless Chen Mobai continuously failed at Core Formation.


    So when Chen Mobai came to him, Shi Fengping personally helped him to look up all the materials related to spiritual tea trees in Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, these are all the spiritual tea trees recorded by the Spirit Plant Department. Some of the more precious ones are guarded by disciples, but many others are just inspected by our department¡¯s disciples every once in a while, ensuring the tea trees are still there,¡± Shi Fengping said warmly, showing Chen Mobai and his disciple the distribution maps of the tea trees. He then took the opportunity to ask some questions about planting Green Jade Spirit Rice, which he had been hesitant to ask Chen Mobai about before.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t one to turn away anyone seeking help, and he answered each question.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er has received my true teachings. If there are any issues with the spirit rice in the future, Brother Shi can ask her directly.¡±

    Before leaving, Chen Mobai introduced Zhuo Ming to Shi Fengping, considering that his disciple would certainly become the number one in Spirit Plants within the Divine Wood Sect and she would need to deal a lot with the Spirit Plant Department after her Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°It¡¯s been my wish to meet Junior Sister Zhuo since Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment. Her future achievements are boundless,¡± Shi Fengping said, his words pleasing like a breath of spring air once he had set aside his pride.


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily and then took Zhuo Ming to meet friends like Sun Gaochang. Everyone praised his suddenly famous second disciple.


    Two of his three disciples succeeded in their first Foundation Establishment, and disciples like Yu Lian, Mu Yuan, and Li Yixian had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment thanks to his guidance. These achievements earned Chen Mobai a reputation as a Great Sage and Good Teacher within the sect.


    Now, many True Disciples who had yet to take the Foundation Building Pill were seeking connections, wishing to receive guidance from Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 848 - Chapter 848 Chapter 477 Preaching _2

    Chapter 848: Chapter 477: Preaching _2 Chapter 848: Chapter 477: Preaching _2 ¡°`


    Regarding this, Lu Yi personally made a phone call to Chen Mobai, asking him if he had time to preach and teach the true disciples of the sect.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Transmission Department, besides preserving the sect¡¯s cultivation techniques and lineage, has another major task, which is to give lectures to the sect¡¯s disciples.


    In the largest center square of Divine Wood City, there is a different Qi-Completing cultivator lecturing every day.


    These lecturers are all former true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who, having failed at Foundation Establishment and grown old, make use of their experience to clarify doubts for the Qi Cultivating disciples of the sect¡¯s lower tiers.


    Although these cultivators are only at the Qi Cultivation Perfection level and many of them specialize in just one area, there are many of them, and the Transmission Department has assembled a group from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to ensure all areas of knowledge are covered.


    The sect¡¯s Qi Cultivating disciples also have the option to select and attend the lectures that interest them.


    Before Zhuo Ming became Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple, he used to attend classes in the square of Divine Wood City every day, hoping to learn some real skills.


    Unfortunately, although these people were willing to explain specifics of spell cultivation and the like, they were ambiguous when it came to the skills of Talisman Making, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining that could earn Spirit Stones.


    At most, they talked about basics or general principles, never revealing the tricks and experience they had amassed over the years.


    This was not only due to the prevailing culture, but also because of intervention from other departments; after all, drawing a Talisman or refining an Alchemy Recipe is crucial to the livelihood of the Talisman Making Department and the Alchemy Department, and they had monopolized these skills.


    If you want to learn, you have to apply to join the relevant department, ensuring that even if there are pearls missed within the gate, the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions can secure them through this order.


    Thus, after listening for a year and desiring to advance further, Zhuo Ming wanted to delve deeper into the Talisman Making Department but was turned down.


    In addition to the former true disciples, Foundation Establishment Elders from the sect also come over to lecture.


    However, since Foundation Establishment Practitioners are busy with their own matters, the timing of the lectures is not fixed, but the Transmission Department generally ensures there is a Foundation Establishment lecture every month.


    These are also something one can get for contributing to the sect.


    This time, all the true disciples wanted Chen Mobai to give them guidance, the calls for him were simply too high, so their elders sought out Chu Zuoshu and Lu Yi.


    Chen Mobai naturally wanted to give face to these two, as they had helped him a lot. Reciprocity was a matter of human relations, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to promote some good practices from the Immortal Gate side.


    The day of his lecture arrived quickly.


    Before dawn, the square in Divine Wood City was already densely packed with Qi Cultivating disciples.


    Many people had come the previous night to claim spots, and had it not been for the Transmission Department maintaining order, the scramble for spots alone would have led to several conflicts.


    Almost all the Qi Cultivating disciples who heard the news within the sect had arrived, and even some Foundation Establishment Elders found private rooms in wine houses and other places around the square, wanting to listen in.


    When the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, a slender figure riding mist and colorful clouds glided in the light towards the center of the square and slowly landed on the high platform.


    After Chen Mobai took his seat, he glanced at the eager crowd below, noticing many familiar faces in the front, such as Qi Rui, Qi Hou, Xi Jinghuo, and other good friends who were the current true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among them, he also saw Ding Ying.


    However, since they had reconciled under the intervention of E Yun, and now there was a world of difference between them, to Chen Mobai, Ding Ying was just an ordinary true disciple.


    After surveying the crowd, Chen Mobai also took note of the familiar presences of other Foundation Establishment peers, but he simply smiled subtly and acted as if he didn¡¯t know.


    Ding Ying was relieved to see that Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze merely glanced over her without lingering.


    For the sake of Foundation Establishment, she was prepared to put her pride aside.


    When coming here, she had even braced for being driven away. But just as the rumors suggested, Uncle-Master Chen was a man of his word, broad-minded and magnanimous.


    ¡°Time is limited, today I will not talk about the content of cultivation. Instead, I will focus on how to improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    As the corona of sunlight reached that moment, Chen Mobai got straight to the point and started on the topic of the day.


    At his words, the attendees, who were already eagerly waiting, perked up, eager to memorize every word he was about to say.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Foundation Establishment has three stages, broadly summarized as the transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. If any one of these stages does not meet the standard of qualitative change, Foundation Establishment cannot be successful.¡±


    ¡°Many true disciples, when they take elixirs to initiate Foundation Establishment, in reality, only have their Spiritual Power up to standard. While Foundation Building Pills can act on all three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, many fail because their physical Vital Essence is lacking, or because they have accumulated a lot of elixir toxins within their bodies after taking elixirs to improve their Cultivation Level, thereby using up most, or even all, of the pill¡¯s power during the first stage of physical transformation.¡±


    ¡°Consequently, in the second stage of Condensing Qi into Liquid, even if your Spiritual Power is up to standard, the failure of Foundation Establishment occurs because the pill¡¯s power has been expended in the prior stage. I dare say that more than half of the true disciples in the sect have been halted at this point.¡±


    ¡°A cultivator whose Essence, Qi, and Spirit have all reached Perfection, such as my disciple Zhuo Ming, doesn¡¯t actually need a Foundation Building Pill to successfully establish his foundation with ease.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 849 - Chapter 849 Chapter 477 Preaching_3

    Chapter 849: Chapter 477: Preaching_3 Chapter 849: Chapter 477: Preaching_3 ¡°So, if you wish to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment, aside from having perfect Spiritual Power, your body must also be flawless and well-tempered. Those who are able can practice a simple Body Refining Technique that suits their Spirit Root Attributes. It doesn¡¯t need to be a technique with immense combat power, just one that strengthens and invigorates the body will suffice.¡±


    ¡°Those who can¡¯t do that can consume Spirit Rice and pure water, along with some meat from Spirit Beasts and vegetables they like. Continuation of this practice for five to six years should suffice to condition the body well. However, if one attempts Foundation Establishment in such a manner, a portion of the Foundation Building Pill¡¯s efficacy will still be consumed during the transformation.¡±


    Chen Mobai started advocating the consumption of Spirit Rice as the simplest method to enhance one¡¯s physique.


    The Qi Cultivating Disciples below all listened with shining eyes, and even those who were less financially capable decided that they would have at least one meal of Spirit Rice a day from now on.


    ¡°If the practice of a Body Refining Technique has been successful, during the transformation, there will be no consumption of the Foundation Building Pill¡¯s efficacy, safeguarding the following two challenges. My second disciple, when she first joined me, was a frail young girl as well, but after continuous consumption of Spirit Rice to enhance her Vital Essence, she eventually forged a Ninefold Law Body¡­¡±


    When he reached this point, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming as an example again, and afterward, he also advised against frequently using elixirs to increase one¡¯s Cultivation Level.


    A rapid increase certainly feels great in the short term, but the backlash of Dan Poison takes a very long time to eliminate.


    ¡°I would suggest that one should only take elixirs and such Spiritual Objects to aid in breakthroughs at critical moments. On regular days, meditation and absorbing Spiritual Energy is recommended for Cultivation.¡±


    This concerned the purity of Spiritual Power, which Chen Mobai began to elaborate upon, also mentioning the harm excessive Dan Poison could do during the breakthrough.


    ¡­


    On this day, Chen Mobai started from sunrise and continued till sunset.


    He finally gave a general overview of the content related to Foundation Establishment, of course, he definitely didn¡¯t reveal any key techniques such as the critical method of the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    After all, within the Divine Wood Sect, there were certainly spies from other Sects.


    And the content he shared was also known to the upper echelons of other major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness; they just hadn¡¯t systematized it into a coherent and complete system like the Immortal Gate had.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s lecture, not to mention the Qi Cultivating Disciples, even the True Disciples gained a thorough and novel understanding of the process of Foundation Establishment, with comprehensive plans beginning to form in their minds.


    Many who were preparing to consume Foundation Building Pills decided to halt.


    These folks had scarcely refrained from using elixirs to increase their Cultivation Levels. Those asking Medicine Way experts to examine their bodies and Spiritual Power indeed found many traces of Dan Poison residue.


    Moreover, many were deficient in Vital Essence and had depleted Essence, and it was estimated that they wouldn¡¯t even pass the first challenge if they took the Foundation Building Pill.


    Consequently, after Chen Mobai¡¯s lecture, the price of Spirit Rice, which was just an ordinary commodity, skyrocketed tenfold overnight, bought out by the Sect¡¯s Qi Cultivating Disciples.


    Among these, Chen Mobai¡¯s Little Nan Mountain Shop was naturally the most frequented.


    All Green Jade Spirit Rice in the stockpile sold out, and Liu Wenbo began to transport batches of Spirit Rice from the foot of the Little Nan Mountain to Divine Wood City¡¯s Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    But no matter how much he brought, it would always sell out the next day.


    Because Chen Mobai didn¡¯t allow Liu Wenbo to raise prices, he insisted on selling his Spirit Rice at the normal market rate.


    Having decided on a policy of fair pricing, Chen Mobai firmly took the first step towards his goal of making Spirit Rice available to everyone in the Divine Wood Sect.


    In such circumstances, Liu Wenbo suddenly rushed over to the Longevity Wood Dojo in a hurry.


    Chen Mobai thought it had something to do with the Spirit Rice, but it turned out to be about his little disciple.


    ¡°Master, this is a letter sent from little junior sister.¡±


    Before his Foundation Establishment, Liu Wenbo expanded the Little Nan Mountain Shop to various locations across the Eastern Wilderness. After Luo Yixuan took over, she often sent letters through the shops.


    Chen Mobai thought it would be the usual greetings, but upon opening the letter, he found that it contained the third level of the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    Even though he was eager to get his hands on the technique, Chen Mobai felt something amiss.


    Aside from the method of Cultivation, Luo Yixuan hadn¡¯t written a single additional word.


    This was unlike her usual style of including at least a sentence or two!


    Moreover, he had told her that once she obtained the Returning Essence Secret Technique, her mission would be complete. With her home-loving nature, it was unlikely for her to send the Technique over while still remaining outside the Sect.


    She should have been energetically taking the Teleportation Array back, then appearing before him with a face eager for praise, as she handed over the Technique.

    ¡°Wen Bo, go to Ming Nation and bring Xuan back, do it discreetly.¡±


    After much contemplation, Chen Mobai decided to send his eldest disciple to find out what was happening, fearing that his little disciple might have run into trouble.


    Given that she had no major enemies outside the Sect, it was very possible that someone wanted to target him through her.


    Realizing this possibility, Chen Mobai felt it was best not to leave the Sect lightly.


    However, at this moment, he also began to feel a sense of urgency about his own Core Formation.

 Chapter 850 - Chapter 850 Chapter 478 Portal Management Bureau

    Chapter 850: Chapter 478: Portal Management Bureau Chapter 850: Chapter 478: Portal Management Bureau After Liu Wenbo left, Chen Mobai began reading the Full Volume of Guiyuan Secret Technique that Luo Yixuan had sent over.


    There was no difference in the first two layers, but on the most critical third layer, there finally came a detailed Cultivation Method.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s using Void Stones!¡±


    After reading it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised.


    According to his understanding, the difficulty of the third layer was how to create a small external world without the aid of a Portal, a Supreme Treasure that could open up the Void. The method used by the Guiyuan Sect was to extract the Power of Void from within the Void Stones.


    This was something inconceivable to the Immortal Gates.


    The Void Dark Stone Vein on Di Yuan Star had already run out. Each remaining piece was treasured by the Immortal Gate, and even Nascent Soul Superiors had to apply for permission if they wanted to use it for research purposes.


    If they knew you planned to extract the Power of Void from Void Stones to cultivate a secret technique, the Immortal Gate would arrest you on the spot.


    However, even in the Eastern Wilderness, Void Stones were extremely precious minerals, eagerly acquired by all the major sects at any cost.


    The founder of the Guiyuan Secret Technique was inspired by the Storage Bag and the Spirit Beast Bag.


    If Void Stones could be refined into objects that stored items and even living creatures, then could they not also be used to refine something that could store Spiritual Power?


    After extensive research, the third layer of the Guiyuan Secret Technique was developed.


    Utilizing one¡¯s strong Divine Sense to capture and extract the Power of Void from within the Void Stones, condensing and creating a small world for storing Spiritual Power.


    With the sound of rushing water, Chen Mobai poured out the bag of Void Stones he had obtained during the battle at Mountain Shaker Peak, spreading out a total of 38 silvery-gray stones across his wooden cabin.


    ¡°Could it be that the Void Law Body of Shake Mountain also requires the Power of Void from these Void Stones to cultivate?¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai thought of something and murmured to himself.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be so. After all, the Void Law Body was incredibly mysterious, capable of traversing through the Void. With only the Cultivation Level of Foundation Establishment Completion like Ji Dingjin, it would be impossible to succeed without the aid of heavenly and earthly treasures.


    Chen Mobai, having obtained this powerful Body Refining Technique, also spent a lot of time pondering and aiming to cultivate it.


    With his intelligence, he understood most of it and even tried the beginning steps of ¡°Drawing in the Void, Testing the Body with the Body,¡± but was immediately stuck, completely unable to perceive the so-called Power of Void.


    Now, he realized that perhaps one needed to use Void Stones to get started.


    Even though he had figured this out, Chen Mobai would definitely not waste time practicing the Void Law Body in the short term since he had already cultivated the Longevity Dao Body.


    What was most important now was to master the third layer of the Guiyuan Secret Technique and see if he could use this method to sense the Power of Void.


    However, Chen Mobai was always cautious. Before beginning his cultivation, he specifically went to consult Weng Chuanyou from the Spirit Vein Division. The Teleportation Arrays of the Sect were mostly set up by him, and during the battle at Mountain Shaker Peak, Chen Mobai had also been battle comrades with him.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, Weng Chuanyou¡¯s knowledge of Void Stones was among the best.


    ¡°Using the Power of Void within the Void Stones to cultivate? There have been such claims. The Guiyuan Sect once had a Nascent Soul Ancestor and was considered a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness. They occupied a part of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine in Ming Nation, perhaps they developed it then¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was seeking advice, he naturally didn¡¯t conceal anything and spoke of the Guiyuan Secret Technique. In the Eastern Wilderness, many Cultivators cultivated a Spell to hide their cultivation level, as the world was fraught with dangers. Among Loose Cultivators especially, many used this to pretend to be of a lower realm to lure and rob others.


    Weng Chuanyou took Chen Mobai¡¯s intent to cultivate such a Technique as quite ordinary.


    After confirming that cultivating with Void Stones was safe, Chen Mobai began his preparation.


    Returning to his wooden hut on his own Dao Ground, he reached into his Storage Bag and took out a fist-sized silvery-gray Void Stone. Then, following the recorded methods, he slowly extended a wisp of his Divine Sense into it.


    In that instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he had fallen into a place of unknown darkness.


    In this place, he could see no light at all, only darkness and silence, and there were no sensory feelings whatsoever.


    If it were an ordinary person, they might be overcome with fear at this point, worrying whether the darkness concealed unknown dangers and formidable forces, or Cultivation Paths and strange creatures beyond a Cultivator¡¯s imagination.


    But Chen Mobai knew that this was the nature of the Power of Void, giving a sense of vastness and mystery to the Divine Sense.


    The Power of Void within the Void Stone did indeed exist. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to understand what kind of power it was exactly. Following the method recorded in the Guiyuan Secret Technique, he drew it out bit by bit.


    This Power of Void needed an object to attach to after leaving the Void Stone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Guiyuan Sect would choose small items like rings, bracelets, and earrings, allowing for rapid extraction of Spiritual Power when needed.


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment and then activated his All Laws Persona.


    Previously, he had used the Five Elements Sword Light as a foundation to refine an arm, and now he planned to use the Power of Void to condense a backbone dragon!


    However, it seemed that the Power of Void was of a higher level. Even with Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense Realm at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, after transporting a tenth of it from the Void Stone, his mental faculties felt fatigued.


    He didn¡¯t force himself to continue the arduous cultivation. As with all things, one should not overexert themselves in cultivation.

 Chapter 851 - Chapter 851 Chapter 478 Portal Administration Bureau_2

    Chapter 851: Chapter 478: Portal Administration Bureau_2 Chapter 851: Chapter 478: Portal Administration Bureau_2 ¡°`


    Taking advantage of the time when his heart and mind had recovered, Chen Mobai took out a piece of golden crystal that had shrunk considerably and began to cultivate Precious Golden Light.


    This secret technique, which he obtained from Xuan Jinzhi, had been under cultivation since he returned from Rock Country.


    However, his Metal Spirit Root was too mediocre, and since he had not focused exclusively on it, the progress was very slow.


    But six years had passed, and with time grinding away, he was finally about to master it.


    This was the third golden crystal he had absorbed and refined. This stuff was more troublesome to him than cultivating his Pure Yang Body, taking roughly two years on average to refine one piece.


    After completely absorbing this piece that was now only the size of a fingernail, a splendid golden glow lit up Chen Mobai¡¯s face. After a long time, he opened his mouth and emitted a beam of Precious Golden Light.


    This thing¡¯s attack was indiscriminate, and when Chen Mobai let it fall upon the Red Misty Cloud Silk he wore on his wrist, he instantly felt the connection between his heart and mind and the magic artifact weaken significantly.


    If used during a magic duel, this move could instantly change the tides of battle.


    This was the ¡°Treasure Suppressing¡± aspect of Precious Golden Light, but at this level, an opponent could still forcibly break through using Divine Sense.


    If cultivated to the next level of ¡°Treasure Sealing¡±, the connection between the opponent and their magic artifact¡¯s heart and mind would be completely cut off, but in reality, it was simply the Precious Golden Light blocking the heart and mind connection.


    Only the next level of ¡°Treasure Dropping¡± would be able to directly shatter the Divine Consciousness Imprint within the magic artifact.


    And the cultivation of this Precious Golden Light also had the characteristics of the Tianhe Realm, relying purely on piling up resources.


    One Precious Golden Light for Treasure Suppressing.


    Treasure Sealing is the combination of nine Precious Golden Lights.


    And Treasure Dropping is eighty-one.


    The lowest realm of the Refine Treasure secret technique didn¡¯t specify how many were needed because even Xuan Xiao from the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace, being only a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, thought it would be impressive to cultivate to the Treasure Dropping level without reaching Core Formation.


    Based on numerical patterns, Chen Mobai calculated that it would be seven hundred and twenty-nine lights. Assuming that three golden crystals could refine one Precious Golden Light, then 2187 golden crystals would be enough to master this secret technique.


    Chen Mobai had also looked into the market price of golden crystals in the Eastern Wilderness: they were about three to four hundred Spirit Stones a piece, meaning it would cost under a million Spirit Stones to obtain them.


    As far as the current Chen Mobai was concerned, any issue that could be solved with Spirit Stones was no issue at all.


    Over time, the talisman paper manufactured by his puppet factory had conquered most of the Eastern Wilderness. Now, just this income brought him nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Stones a year.


    Nowadays, only quantities of Spirit Stones greater than a million would make him emotionally fluctuate.


    If he could cultivate Precious Golden Light to mastery, it would be equivalent to directly upgrading his Treasure Appraiser profession by four ranks.


    There¡¯s an old saying in the Immortal Gates, ¡°Good Deed Points cannot buy cultivation level and knowledge.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that was very accurate. Indeed, Good Deed Points could not, but Spirit Stones could.


    He picked up the phone and, using the Heavenly Communication Device, transferred his call to Chen Zhenwu, the managing elder of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, asking him to help issue a long-term task for purchasing golden crystals.


    After the call, Chen Mobai took out another golden crystal and began to cultivate his second Precious Golden Light.


    Originally, inside the storage bags of the brother and sister pair from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he found eight golden crystals. After refining the first Precious Golden Light, the speed of Chen Mobai¡¯s training in this secret technique increased dramatically.


    Utilizing the fragmented time spent refining and absorbing the Power of Void, he only took half a year to refine another golden crystal.


    But what pleased him most was the progress in the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    After successively draining the Power of Void from five Void Stones with his Divine Sense, the spine of his All Laws Persona finally formed its first vertebra.


    This was a thoracic vertebra connected to his arm, with a long and slender spinous process that appeared very fierce at a glance, but the more Chen Mobai looked at it, the more he liked it.


    Because in the moment the vertebra formed, he felt the sensation described in the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    That unique small void, absolutely under his control within his Divine Sense!


    Chen Mobai immediately channeled the Longevity Spiritual Power he hid within the Six Yang God Fire Mirror into this vertebra, and it took a full hundred drops of Liquid Spiritual Power to fill it.


    The feeling of condensing the void quickly became addictive for Chen Mobai.


    He took out a new piece of Void Stone and began to draw out the Power of Void with his Divine Sense, starting to condense the second vertebra of the All Laws Persona.


    ¡°`


    Time swiftly approached the end of the year.


    ¡°Any news?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked disappointed after hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s report.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, after Little Junior Sister left the sect, she first went to the Luo family for a visit and left her mother a sum of Spirit Stones before she used the Fang Market¡¯s Teleportation Array to go to Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    ¡°I enlisted the help of Uncle Master E Yun to investigate and found out that Little Junior Sister went to the Fang Market on Liu Jia Island, which is under the Five Elements Sect, and from there she took another Teleportation Array to the Ming Nation.¡±


    ¡°Over there in the Ming Nation, there are quite a few talisman shops that collaborate with our Little Nan Mountain Shop. Little Junior Sister had some dealings with them, but it was mainly to arrange the annual supply of talisman paper and ink. She did not discuss any other matters.¡±


    ¡°Everything was normal in the previous years, but only this year, when the agreed time to hand over the talisman papers came, Little Junior Sister suddenly disappeared, and after that the letter was delivered into my hands and I passed it on to you.¡±


    ¡°I hired some Loose Cultivators in the Ming Nation to look into the Guiyuan Sect. However, they have completely declined, with just one old Foundation Establishment Cultivator barely keeping it going. If Little Junior Sister had confronted that sect, with the Magic Artifacts and talismans you bestowed upon her, Master, it would have been impossible for her to just vanish without a trace.¡±


    Liu Wenbo shared some of the information he had gathered over the year. He had also, under the pretense of wanting to sell talisman paper, sent his own business partners to seek out the Guiyuan Sect.


    However, as he dared not reveal his true intentions, even though he managed to form a collaboration and become the exclusive talisman paper supplier for the Guiyuan Sect, the mystery surrounding Luo Yixuan remained unsolved.


    ¡°Master, my cultivation is still in the Qi Cultivation stage. Perhaps, I could make a trip to the Ming Nation¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t help but speak up on the side. Over the years, her relationship with Luo Yixuan had become even closer than that of real sisters. Knowing of her disappearance, she was indeed very anxious.


    ¡°No need, I will personally make a trip to the Ming Nation after I achieve Core Formation,¡± replied Chen Mobai, shaking his head and denying Zhuo Ming¡¯s request to go out and search for Luo Yixuan. After his disciple reached the Foundation Establishment following the Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, she became a precious treasure that absolutely couldn¡¯t afford the slightest accident.


    Moreover, if the enemy could silently take down Luo Yixuan, Zhuo Ming¡¯s presence would make no difference.


    After all, he had refined a Green Flames Sword Slaughter for his young disciple, and if a Sword Slaughter could do nothing, chances were high that the perpetrator had reached Core Formation.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, the number of Golden Core Cultivators who could target Chen Mobai could be counted on one¡¯s fingers.


    If not Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing of the Nanxuan Sect, then it would be that person from Liu Jia Mountain, or perhaps¡­ a Ghost Cultivator!


    Upon this thought, Chen Mobai became even more reluctant to let Zhuo Ming leave.


    After customary teaching and resolving his two disciples¡¯ doubts, Chen Mobai went to the Divine Wood Sect, where the Soul Lanterns were enshrined, and he confirmed that Luo Yixuan was still alive; only then could he relax a little.


    If it wasn¡¯t for this confirmation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stay calm at Giant Tree Ridge.


    Now, he only hoped that she was like True Lord Yuan, whose fate led her into some ancient relic, causing her to be gone for such a long time, rather than being kidnapped by someone.


    However, since this matter had dragged on for a year, it was also time to report it and see if Fu Zongjue had any good suggestions.


    ¡°Regarding the Ming Nation, I still have quite a few fellow Sect members there, I will find a way to help you make inquiries,¡± said Fu Zongjue. Although he was once a disciple of the Five Elements Sect and later joined Zhou Shengqing in breaking away, fighting each other fiercely, after they reconciled, their previous relationship had eased up again.


    The Divine Wood Sect had planted the most agents in the Five Elements Sect throughout the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor,¡± said Chen Mobai gratefully to Fu Zongjue, then sighed as he returned to his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Sitting in silence for a while, he remembered Luo Yixuan serving tea by his side. On normal days, he felt that this little disciple was a bit too clingy, but now that she had been away for so long, he found himself missing those times.

    After a long while, Chen Mobai came to his senses, his gaze resolute as he took out a Void Stone and continued cultivating the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    The spring came and the cold went.


    One day, the Formless Puppet that Chen Mobai had left at the Cinnabarite Institute received an unexpected message.


    It was an official message from the Immortal Gate.


    [Hello, Elder Qingping will soon open a Portal. Please come to Wangwu Cave Heaven within a month and take this opportunity to attempt to open the Golden Core Domain!]


    The signature read: Portal Administration Bureau.

 Chapter 852 - Chapter 852 Chapter 479 Five Peaks Immortal Mountains

    Chapter 852: Chapter 479: Five Peaks Immortal Mountains Chapter 852: Chapter 479: Five Peaks Immortal Mountains Finally, the time had come!


    Upon returning from the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai saw the message from the Portal Management Bureau and couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of joy.


    This was the department within the Immortal Gate specifically tasked with maintaining and observing the portal, a supreme treasure. They were responsible for sending out notifications whenever there was any unusual activity at the portal or when it was about to be opened.


    After reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had already applied to carve out his own Golden Core Domain.


    He had thought that it would take a long time, considering Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators at the Immortal Gate had plenty of time to kill before progressing to Core Formation.


    Unexpectedly, he only had to wait four years to witness the portal¡¯s opening.


    Moreover, the person opening it was none other than his idol, Elder Qingping¨Can event Chen Mobai felt doubly fortunate about.


    He didn¡¯t delay and immediately booked a flight to the capital, Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Of course, he had to make an appearance before leaving.


    He didn¡¯t forget to have a meal with his family and friends, and he took the opportunity to inquire about the amount of funds currently in the company¡¯s account.


    The result was joyous.


    Although he had been low-profile over the years, not managing affairs much and even signing a long-term procurement agreement with a major forestry company in Yu Wood City to formalize operations, the cumulative sales of talisman paper from his puppet factory, even after deducting costs, had amassed more than fifty million Good Deed Points for him.


    After all, it was commerce that proved most profitable, and all the Good Deed Points had a clear origin, able to withstand scrutiny.


    But what surprised him the most was that last year, the Feitian Talisman Factory finally turned a profit after many years of effort. The workers, through years of training, could now produce Rank-2 fine quality Jade Talisman Paper.


    In response, Chen Mobai rewarded each worker with a hefty red envelope before reissuing the ten-year plan for them to research Rank-3 Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman paper and ink.


    Everything was developing just as he had planned from the start.


    The two major factories under his name emphasized production in puppets and quality in Feitian.


    The flawed Jade Talisman Papers from Feitian Talisman Factory sold out immediately in the Little Nan Mountain Shop in the Eastern Wilderness, let alone the fine quality ones.


    However, the research and refinement of Rank-3 talisman paper and ink were a bit too advanced for the Qi Cultivation workers of Feitian Talisman Factory.


    It would be best to hire a Foundation Establishment Talisman Maker to oversee the operation.


    But Red Sandstone City was just too small. Any Foundation Establishment Practitioners who hoped to progress further would try to move to the larger cave heaven cities.


    Chen Mobai could only split his consciousness to manipulate a Formless Puppet overseeing the Feitian Talisman Factory, guiding the workers step by step in the attempt to refine Rank-3 talisman paper and ink.


    Meanwhile, his true self was already on the plane.


    As a member of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai had never visited the capital¡¯s Wangwu Cave Heaven in his life.


    Before leaving, he made a special trip to his puppet factory, picking mature Rank-1 fruits from the Vermillion Fruit Tree. After sharing most with his family, he took the three with the best quality and preserved them with the Cold Ice Technique.


    Besides Vermillion Fruits, Chen Mobai also made a trip back to Little Nan Mountain to retrieve two jugs of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    This was Zhuo Ming¡¯s finest brew.


    The ten acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice they had planted as master and disciple had finally matured this year, yielding eight hundred catties per acre.


    Zhuo Ming took some of the lesser quality ones and brewed a large jug, treasuring it greatly. After Chen Mobai scooped out two small jugs, she was somewhat reluctant to part with it.


    After ten years of painstaking care resulting in the maturation of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, it felt just like watching one¡¯s own children grow up.


    After taking the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, Chen Mobai went to the peach trees on the mountainside of Little Nan Mountain to pick a basket of peaches.


    Although these Peach Fruits were also just Rank-1, under Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, they had been cultivated with a crisp taste and abundant juice, making their flavor nearly as good as Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits.


    He intended to use these fruits and the Spiritual Wine as gifts to present to Elder Qingping.


    While unsure if he would get an opportunity to meet the elder, he still thought it best to be prepared.


    Right out of the airport, Chen Mobai saw the people there to pick him up.


    Sun Daoji, Chi Shicheng!


    Back in the day, these two, as Rank-9 Foundation Establishment Practitioners and the finale of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, accompanied Chen Mobai to the offline exchange hosted by Jumang Academy. However, since Chen Mobai alone suppressed all the Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners from the various academies, they had merely played minor roles.


    ¡°Greetings to my senior fellows,¡± Chen Mobai said with a smile, greeting the two.


    This portal opening was an event that affected the entire Immortal Gate, as the last occurrence had been seventeen years prior.


    In these seventeen years, quite a number of Rank-9 Foundation Establishment Practitioners had emerged within the Immortal Gate.


    From the Dance Tool Dao Academy alone, there were seven individuals.

    Aside from the three he was familiar with¨CBian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu, and Zuo Qiushi¨Cthere were also two who had been in seclusion in Treasure Trove and others like Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng who were serving within the Immortal Gate.


    Although equality was espoused within the Immortal Gate, there were actually different factions. During the portal opening, those from the Dance Tool Dao Academy would naturally gather together.


    In Wangwu Cave Heaven, it was Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng that led the group.


    Primarily, it was Sun Daoji who was actively contacting former students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°You¡¯re the last one to arrive; the others have been here for a while now,¡± Sun Daoji said to Chen Mobai with a hearty laugh, showing great regard for this youngest of his juniors.

 Chapter 853 - Chapter 853 Chapter 479 Five Peaks Immortal Mountains_2

    Chapter 853: Chapter 479 Five Peaks Immortal Mountains_2 Chapter 853: Chapter 479 Five Peaks Immortal Mountains_2 ¡°`


    After all, he is of the qualification of deification.


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu is here too?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a hint of surprise after hearing this. Based on that guy¡¯s personality, he didn¡¯t seem like someone who would rush over like this.


    ¡°He has been at Meeting Immortals Peak these past few years. After Zhongli laozu achieved divinity, he made it his Daoist place of cultivation. It seems there is a fragment of the Bagua Mirror here. He just got lucky.¡±


    Sun Daoji shook his head, his tone carrying a bit of envy.


    The Daoist places of cultivation of the Immortal Sect¡¯s god-transcending ancestors are the only sixth-grade spiritual vein lands, known as the ¡°Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.¡±


    These were the places where the Five Ancestors of Xianmen first began imparting their teachings on Di Yuan Star.


    Each occupied a peak, taught all who came, and promoted the art of immortal cultivation, which was the embryonic form of the Immortal Gate.


    Later, every god-transcending cultivator of the Immortal Gate would occupy one peak after achieving their Dao, signifying they had reached the summit of the Immortal Sect and matched the achievements of the founders.


    Today¡¯s Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate reside on two of these five peaks.


    However, to conserve resources, aside from the peaks where the two ancestors reside, which are both sixth-grade spirit veins, the spiritual energy on the tops of the other three peaks has been sealed off by ninety percent, leaving only a grade four quality.


    Nevertheless, the fact that Zhongli Tianyu could freely access one of the Five Peaks and enjoy the treatment of fourth-grade spiritual energy was the envy of all Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    You should know that even some of the Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Sect do not get to enjoy fourth-grade spiritual energy.


    On the way, Chen Mobai asked about the reason for the opening of the portal this time.


    ¡°Wen Ren Xuewei has successfully formed her Core. She applied to establish a Golden Core Domain, and with Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s lobbying, the Immortal Sect immediately arranged it.¡±


    Sun Daoji is a civil servant of the Immortal Sect and is very sensitive to this kind of information.


    ¡°I see, that makes sense if it¡¯s her.¡±


    There are only three circumstances for the opening of a portal: a god-transcending ancestor wishes to use it, to prepare for war, or to assist an Immortal Sect disciple in establishing a Golden Core Domain.


    For the last thousand years within the Immortal Sect, portals have been opened for the last reason.


    However, within the next hundred years, it may well involve the preparation of wars.


    Originally, Chen Mobai had been curious about who had succeeded in Core Formation, but now he suddenly realized it after Sun Daoji mentioned it.


    However, Wen Ren Xuewei really wasn¡¯t considerate, not even informing him about her successful Core Formation.


    After all, they were comrades who had fought together against the Formless Puppet.


    ¡°Why would it be Elder Qingping who took action this time?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the point he was most concerned about. The opening of a portal would at least require the effort of a Nascent Soul; usually, even if a new Golden Core emerged within the Immortal Sect, it depended on the availability of the Nascent Soul Superiors.


    After all, it could only be the Golden Core who adjusted their schedule to the convenience of the Nascent Soul, not the latter interrupting their cultivation or research just for the affairs of a Golden Core.


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s successful Core Formation should have been assisted by Peach Blossom Sage or the Three Extremes Sage from Jumang Academy, right?


    After all, if they are not of the same faction, these Nascent Soul Superiors can¡¯t be bothered to take action.


    When Chen Mobai initially applied to complete his research at Repairing Heaven Institute, Elder Yuanxu even considered using it as a favor to make him stay for a few more years.


    It was also because of this that Chen Mobai did not think of Wen Ren Xuewei when he received a notice from the portal management bureau that Elder Qingping would preside over it.


    He had thought it might be Tao Mingqing from Primordial Elemental Academy, or some other low-profile genius.


    ¡°Elder Qingping has cultivated to the third layer of Nascent Soul and wishes to use the spiritual veins of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to break through to the fourth layer, so he applied here in the sect. Thus, this naturally fell upon his shoulders.¡±


    Sun Daoji whispered the information he had gathered. As one of the Foundation Establishment faces of Dance Tool Dao Academy in the capital, he had access to many higher-ups on regular days and had heard this news.


    ¡°Indeed, as expected of Elder Qingping!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai could not help showing a pleased expression. As a sect leader within Sect of Realms, Elder Qingping did not disappoint him.


    Although he had been pressured into a draw in a magic duel by Nangong Xuanyu from Pure Yang Academy, which led to Elder Qingping receiving quite a bit of ridicule, he was now using his advancement in cultivation to proclaim that he was better at cultivating than fighting.


    After Elder Qingping¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he remained fiercely progressive, whereas Nangong Xuanyu, who had enjoyed the laurels of being the number one Golden Core for decades, still dared not make any advancement in cultivation.


    Perhaps in two or three hundred years, Elder Qingping would still be vigorous, continuing to break through realms, while Nangong Xuanyu would find himself stuck at the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation, passing away in meditation with a tinge of regret.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Sun senior, may I visit Elder Qingping?¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his heartfelt wish to Sun Daoji, who unfortunately shook his head with difficulty, indicating that it was impossible for him.


    ¡°Elder Qingping is residing in the Welcoming Immortals Hotel. Without an invitation, it¡¯s difficult for us to enter.¡±


    Welcoming Immortals Hotel?


    Chen Mobai had no idea what that was and immediately asked for more information.


    ¡°It¡¯s an inn with a very ordinary appearance, but it¡¯s located at the tail of a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein.¡±


    Chi Shicheng, who had been silent until now, answered the question. It turned out to be an inn situated between the secluded retreats of the two elders of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Below the inn was a Fifth Order Lower Grade Spirit Vein.


    This was the place where the top figures of the Immortal Gate would stay when they came to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai could also only regretfully shake his head.


    At this time, they reached a small alley in the center of Wangwu Cave Heaven. When Chen Mobai saw a sign reading ¡°Dance Tool Dao Academy Office¡± at the entrance, he couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    ¡°Fresh graduates of our academy generally come here to report for duty first. Zuo Qiushi, that guy, also stayed here for two days, getting his entry work with the Department of Law Enforcement sorted before he happily left.¡±


    In the Immortal Gate system, every civil servant reports for duty in Wangwu Cave Heaven, and with the influence of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, they naturally have a significant advantage.


    For people like Ling Daoshi, they can even arrange a position in Xixuan Dongtian after the interview, which shows the vast influence of the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    ¡°Goodness, you¡¯re late!¡±


    As Chen Mobai walked into the courtyard, he heard a familiar voice tinged with impatience.


    A buzz cut, short in stature, with a youthful face¨Cit was none other than Zhongli Tianyu!


    ¡°Hahaha, long time no see.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu looked a bit baffled as Chen Mobai walked over, laughing and rubbing his buzz cut, surprised, he momentarily forgot to resist.


    ¡°Chen junior, we were only waiting for you to start the lunch.¡±


    The elegant and charming Bian Jingchun leaned against a red pillar, speaking with a smile. Beside her stood the familiar Zuo Qiushi and three other slightly unfamiliar men and women.


    These were the Rank-9 Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy for this opening of the portal.


    Including Chen Mobai, there were exactly seven people.


    Together with Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng, nine people sat around a round table in the courtyard. The food was specially prepared by a chef, and Chen Mobai ate until his face was greasy.


    ¡°By the way, don¡¯t you live on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains? Can you take people inside?¡±


    As the conversation went on, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered what Sun Daoji had said and couldn¡¯t help but ask Zhongli Tianyu, who was sitting next to him.


    Having not seen each other for seven years since graduation, Chen Mobai felt warmly reminded of his friendship with Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Sure, I can just submit an application in advance to the property management of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. But I have to specify how long you¡¯ll be staying, and if it¡¯s overnight, for how many days¡­¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu hated dealing with such troublesome matters, but since it was Chen Mobai who had asked for it, he made an effort to help out.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you tonight!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that since the Welcoming Immortals Hotel was within the bounds of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, following Zhongli Tianyu might give him an opportunity to meet Elder Qingping.


    After a sumptuous lunch hosted by Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng, as Bian Jingchun, Zuo Qiushi, and the others were talking, Chen Mobai had already apologetically taken his leave with Zhongli Tianyu.

    ¡°Those two have such a good relationship,¡± Zuo Qiushi couldn¡¯t help but remark, watching Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu who could not wait to leave.


    ¡°Them, close?¡±


    Bian Jingchun, who knew the inside story, couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes after hearing this.


    Unaware of the sentiments they expressed behind him, Chen Mobai had already followed Zhongli Tianyu to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    They seemed like a giant stretching out five fingers from the earth, resulting in the raising of five towering mountain peaks.

 Chapter 854 - Chapter 854 Chapter 480 All Over the Place Rank 4

    Chapter 854: Chapter 480 All Over the Place Rank 4 Chapter 854: Chapter 480 All Over the Place Rank 4 The Five Peaks Immortal Mountains are known as Gathering Immortals, Ambition Immortal, Meeting Immortals, Wangxian Peak, and Gathering-Immortals Peak.


    Zhongli Tianyu resided at Meeting Immortals Peak, and when Chen Mobai followed him there, he was allowed to pass right away because the visit had already been arranged in advance.


    After entering, Chen Mobai realized that although this place was seldom frequented by people, on the way up the mountain, he could still occasionally see a few cultivators with peaceful expressions on their faces.


    Upon seeing Zhongli Tianyu, they all greeted him with a smile.


    After asking around, he found that they were all people from divine descendant families.


    ¡°This is a classmate of mine from college!¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu introduced Chen Mobai, and they seemed to have heard of the Qualification of Deification, their eyes filled with both curiosity and sudden understanding.


    ¡°Nice to meet you all!¡±


    After the greetings, Chen Mobai continued to follow Zhongli Tianyu up the mountain.


    ¡°On the history of the Immortal Gate, the families or forces that have left their mark are basically all here, not only to guard and take care of the relics left by the ancestors but also to make use of the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein here,¡± explained Zhongli Tianyu.


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, thinking that if no one lived here, the Immortal Gate, in their frugality, would probably seal off the spiritual energy of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    ¡°To the north is the Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s Gathering-Immortals Peak, to the west is the Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s Wangxian Peak, and then there¡¯s our Meeting Immortals Peak. To the southeast is Ambition Immortal Peak, and finally, Gathering of Immortals Peak,¡± said Zhongli Tianyu as he introduced the peaks of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. Chen Mobai looked around following his words.


    The Immortal Mountains stretched endlessly, clouds encircled their peaks, springs flowed from the stone gaps, encased in the dense shade of green trees, pavilions and towers loomed faintly; although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to use his Void Spirit Eye to look, he still felt an incredible spiritual pressure.


    ¡°In the history of the Immortal Gate, there are a total of thirteen Huashen Ancestors, but there are only five fairy mountains, so most fairy mountains have the traces of multiple ancestors. Besides our Zhongli family, Meeting Immortals Peak also has descendants from another two ancestors, Leading Star Ancestor and Ancestor Guangjue,¡± said Zhongli Tianyu as he led Chen Mobai past a courtyard on the mountainside.


    ¡°So, in this place, one could find descendants of all the divine ancestors of the Immortal Gate,¡± Chen Mobai murmured, amazed. The divine ancestors of the Immortal Gate, although well-known, have always been very low-key, as if deliberately downplaying their presence in the public¡¯s mind.


    ¡°That¡¯s not entirely true. Some ancestors were solely dedicated to the path and did not have partners in life, hence they left no descendants. For instance, the Yuanyang Ancestor. His Yuanyang View, where he once resided, is now managed by someone from the Pure Yang Academy,¡± Tianyu mentioned, which made Chen Mobai slap his forehead, realizing he had overlooked such situations.


    ¡°Since you are also a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll, are you interested in visiting Yuanyang View? These Five Peaks Immortal Mountains are also considered a scenic area. Every year on the ancestor¡¯s birthdays, the public is allowed to visit the mountains to pay tribute.¡±


    Of course, this was limited to three peaks; the two peaks where Leading Star Ancestor and Ancestor Baiguang resided were never open to the public.


    ¡°If possible, that would naturally be best,¡± said Chen Mobai, nodding. He was very grateful to the Yuanyang Ancestor. After all, without his revision of the Pure Yang Scroll, with his own talents, he would never have had the confidence to cultivate the Divine Transformation Technique.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask for you. For now, come with me to my place,¡± Tianyu invited Chen Mobai to a large courtyard with white walls and black tiles at the summit of the mountain, designed in an ancient style complete with a pair of stone tortoises at the main gate, sporting long horns.


    It was the family emblem of the Zhongli Family, the Dragon Tortoise.


    After pushing open the red doors, the two stepped over the threshold and entered.


    Shortly after, a middle-aged woman came over to greet them upon hearing their arrival, exuding a gentle demeanor and a smiling face.


    ¡°Auntie, do you have contact information for the manager at Yuanyang View? My classmate here is a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll and wishes to pay a visit,¡± asked Zhongli Tianyu.


    The woman, named Zhongli Yue, was in charge at the Zhong Li Residence. Chen Mobai glanced at her, slightly taken aback.


    She is a Golden Core Master!


    No wonder she represented the power of the Zhongli Family within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. This was what true heritage looked like!


    ¡°You and your guest should rest well first; I¡¯ll make a trip to Yuanyang View,¡± said Zhongli Yue gently, instructing Tianyu to take good care of Chen Mobai before leaving to take care of the matter.


    ¡°Thank you, Auntie!¡± said Chen Mobai, always polite, expressing his gratitude right away.


    With a Golden Core Master handling the issue, success was certain.


    Soon Zhongli Yue called back, informed them that she had already arranged a chess meeting with the principal of the view. Knowing they wanted to visit, the principal had left a guide who would take them on a comprehensive tour of Yuanyang View, explaining everything.


    Without delay, Zhongli Tianyu took Chen Mobai there.


    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    Upon their arrival, Chen Mobai was surprised to find the guide was someone he knew.


    Simaxing Yu from the Pure Yang Academy.


    The two had a history, but given the special nature of the place and Chen Mobai¡¯s strong background, Simaxing Yu, despite frowning upon seeing him, merely pursed his lips.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Are you here to initiate your Golden Core Domain?¡±


    Although it was forbidden in the Immortal Gate to casually probe the cultivation levels of others, Chen Mobai had seen Simaxing Yu at Foundation Establishment Rank-8 when they first met in Little Red Sky, and though Simaxing Yu had later regressed back to Rank-6 in order to target Chen Mobai, after so many years, with his talent, he surely must have reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment by now.

 Chapter 855 - Chapter 855 Chapter 480 Rank-4 Everywhere_2

    Chapter 855: Chapter 480: Rank-4 Everywhere_2 Chapter 855: Chapter 480: Rank-4 Everywhere_2 ¡°Hmph, I won¡¯t lose to you again this time,¡±


    Upon hearing this, Sima Xingyu spoke with an icy tone, effectively affirming Chen Mobai¡¯s previous question.


    ¡°You don¡¯t really think you can make a successful breakthrough, do you?¡±


    These words were spoken by Zhongli Tianyu, who glanced at Sima Xingyu and said with a hint of mockery. The latter glared at him, wanting to say that as long as everyone else failed, he wouldn¡¯t count as having lost.


    But Sima Xingyu couldn¡¯t articulate this thought; instead, he looked at Chen Mobai silently before turning to leave.


    ¡°Wait, we¡¯re here to visit, and I remember the master arranging a guide for both of us¡­¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu immediately called out to him, as it would be a loss of face for him if Sima Xingyu were to leave just like that.


    ¡°Come in with me, I¡¯ll only show you around once.¡±


    Sima Xingyu paused for a moment before reluctantly turning back and speaking without any emotion.


    Above the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, each peak had the background of Divinity Transformation, but compared to them, the two individuals present were from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, where Ancestor Baiguang, still living, was their superior¨Csomeone Pure Yang Academy could not provoke.


    ¡°This is a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, hence the top graduates from Pure Yang Academy are generally arranged to cultivate here. However, due to a quota on the number of individuals on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, a maximum of five may come. Only when one of them reaches the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment can the next top graduate join.¡±


    After entering Yuanyang View, Zhongli Tianyu began sharing what he knew with Chen Mobai.


    Resources on Di Yuan Star were scarce, and for a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, being able to cultivate atop a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein was already the best treatment available within the Immortal Gate.


    This was why the rivalry for the top spot at Pure Yang Academy was exceptionally fierce.


    ¡°Offer incense upon entering the gate!¡±


    At this moment, Sima Xingyu who was in the lead suddenly spoke, and from nowhere, he produced two incense sticks and handed them over.


    Chen Mobai stepped past the threshold, noting that Sima Xingyu had already lit his incense stick and, after making three bows, inserted it into a bronze cauldron brimming with ash.


    ¡°Is this¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was shaken as he observed the cauldron.


    ¡°This is the Fourth Grade Primordial Yang Cauldron of Yuanyang Ancestor. It has been sealed by himself, and it can only just maintain its Grade by relying on the ambient Spiritual Energy and Spirit Stones provided by the Immortal Gate,¡±


    It was Zhongli Tianyu who gave this explanation, having visited before, he lit his incense stick with practiced ease.


    After offering his incense, Chen Mobai gazed at the unassuming bronze cauldron, struggling to suppress the pounding of his heart.


    ¡°This is the main hall where the Embodiment of our ancestor is enshrined!¡±


    Sima Xingyu, seemingly eager to complete his task as a guide, was prompt to lead them to the Daoist Academy¡¯s largest main hall.


    ¡°Could this possibly be¡­¡±


    After approaching, Chen Mobai noticed the dust-covered mirror hanging above the doorframe, pausing involuntarily.


    ¡°The Fourth-Rank Pure Yang Mirror of our ancestor, which lights up every morning on its own, automatically drawing in Big Sun Purple Qi for Refining. Without any manual activation, it produces a streak of Pure Yang Purple Qi every ten years, aiding many Golden Core Masters of the Immortal Gate in breaking through their Cultivation Levels,¡±


    Sima Xingyu dutifully fulfilled his role as a guide, answering Chen Mobai¡¯s unspoken inquiry.


    ¡°Pure Yang Purple Qi¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, recalled his own attempt to condense Purple Qi at the Immortal Gate, where the Solar Essence he managed to absorb could not remain in his hands.


    Is there something special about the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains?


    Yet, he felt it inappropriate to pose this question, given that it involved Top-grade Spirit Stones.


    ¡°The ownership of this item belongs to the Immortal Gate. Once Pure Yang Purple Qi condenses, the Immortal Gate exchanges a Top-grade Spirit Stone for the Pure Yang Mirror. Because of the compensation, it¡¯s considered the best maintained among the Pure Yang Suit Instruments of Yuanyang Ancestor,¡±


    Just then, Zhongli Tianyu started to indirectly undermine Sima Xingyu again.


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger passed through Sima Xingyu¡¯s eyes, but Zhongli Tianyu spoke the truth. The Pure Yang Suit Instruments, nominally belonging to Pure Yang Academy, could have declined in Grade long ago if not for the Spirit Stones allocated by the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Enter and pay respects to our ancestor!¡±


    Sima Xingyu¡¯s current intent was merely to walk these two troublesome individuals around and see them off as soon as possible.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to abscond with the Fourth-Rank Pure Yang Mirror. With a stiff expression and reluctant heart, he followed into the Daoist Academy¡¯s main hall.


    Once inside, they were greeted by a nine-meter tall full-color statue of the Yuanyang Ancestor, life-like in appearance and clearly crafted by a master. However, what truly caught Chen Mobai¡¯s attention was the garment adorned with patterns of the flaming sun sewn onto it.


    ¡°The Pure Yang Immortal Robe!¡±


    Without needing Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry, Zhongli Tianyu, who had visited once already, slipped into the role of a guide, revealing the origins of the garment.


    After Chen Mobai finished paying his respects to the ancestor¡¯s statue with Sima Xingyu, his expectations for the remaining items of the Primordial Yang Set began to rise.


    There were still the bell, sword, and treasure bead remaining.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The sword was the only Rank-5 item within the Pure Yang Set, and Chen Mobai knew it had already been cast into Little Red Sky by Gongye Zhixu.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Bell Tower to ring the bell!¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could even ask, Zhongli Tianyu was already instructing Sima Xingyu to lead them to another location.


    It must be where the Pure Yang Bell is located, I suppose?


    Chen Mobai thought to himself and, after following them, saw as expected a large brass bell hanging in the tallest pavilion atop the mountain peak.

 Chapter 856 - Chapter 856 480

    Chapter 856: 480 Chapter 856: 480 Zhongli Tianyu directly bypassed Sima Xingyu and entered the pavilion, where he picked up the thick wooden stick suspended for striking the bell and gave it a heavy hit.


    Boom!


    The moment Chen Mobai heard the bell ring, he felt the intricate emotions caused by his longing for a Rank-4 magical weapon suddenly melt away like ice and snow, leaving his mind incomparably clear and tranquil.


    ¡°Each time this Pure Yang Bell rings, it can purify the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, you can only strike it once,¡±


    Sima Xingyu spoke up beside Chen Mobai¡¯s ear.


    Sure enough, after Zhongli Tianyu struck the bell, he sat cross-legged on the ground of the pavilion, entering a meditative state, his face radiating a majestic aura.


    Half an hour later, Zhongli Tianyu opened his eyes. Although he looked hale and hearty, his spiritual power had diminished to one-tenth of what it had been, making his steps slightly unsteady.


    ¡°You can also strike it once, it¡¯s quite useful for refining your divine sense,¡±


    After approaching, Zhongli Tianyu suggested to Chen Mobai, who responded with a slight smile and a shake of his head.


    He himself had a Morning Bell, and moreover, it was the Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo most suited to him. Over the years, the frequent ringing had refined his divine sense to flawless perfection.


    This Pure Yang Bell might be Rank-4, but its effect was about the same as the Morning Bell.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s pretty much everything to see in this Yuanyang View,¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai shake his head, Zhongli Tianyu simply shrugged and gestured to Sima Xingyu that they could leave. The latter pointed to the exit without saying another word and disappeared on the spot.


    ¡°The Primordial Yang Treasure Beads aren¡¯t in this Yuanyang View?¡±


    Once Sima Xingyu had left, Chen Mobai asked Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°The Treasure Bead is with Nangong Xuanyu, along with the Yuan Yang Sword. They serve as the symbols of the successive headmasters of the Pure Yang Academy. However, he doesn¡¯t care to activate the sword, so he mainly contemplates the true essence of Pure Yang with the bead,¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu clearly knew his stuff, possessing a finger-tip feel for the secrets between those in the Divinity Transformation stage.


    ¡°With so many Rank-4 magical weapons lying here, exposed to wind, sun, and rain, are there no Golden Core Masters willing to claim and nurture them?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, and upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu gave him a strange look.


    ¡°Golden Core Masters themselves lack sufficient spiritual energy for cultivation, and to match these artifacts, it¡¯s best if the cultivator has studied Pure Yang Scroll. They would rather split their time in two to focus on Cultivating the Pure Yang Body than do something that delays their own cultivation progress,¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai gave a wry smile and nodded in agreement; it indeed made sense.


    If the people of the Tianhe Realm were to witness the sight within this Yuanyang View, they would likely tap their feet and beat their chests in frustration over the injustice.


    These were, after all, Rank-4 magical weapons, lying on the ground with no one bothering to pick them up.


    As they were leaving Yuanyang View, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly received a call informing him that the information he had provided about Chen Mobai was somewhat incomplete and that he needed to go back to the property office to re-register.


    ¡°What a bother. Feel free to wander around; I¡¯ll be back shortly,¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu said, leaving Chen Mobai behind as he spoke. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind and continued to walk slowly along the mountain path, admiring the scenery of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m lost. Can you take me home?¡±


    Just as he turned a corner, a little girl about five or six years old stopped him.


    The little girl, holding a wooden doll and dressed in a black dress that highlighted her fair skin and lovely features, looked at him with a slight amount of trepidation and unease in her eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    For some reason, the moment Chen Mobai saw the girl, he felt an incredible sense of familiarity, like meeting a family member, and couldn¡¯t help but squat down and ask gently, reaching out his hand to her.


    ¡°My name is Xiao Hei,¡±


    The little girl, reassured by his kindness, relaxed her previously anxious face a bit.


    Then, she cautiously extended her right hand and held onto Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Xiao Hei? That doesn¡¯t sound like a girl¡¯s name. What¡¯s your last name?¡±


    Chen Mobai inwardly criticized the girl¡¯s parents for giving her such an unremarkable name.


    Take him, for instance; Mobai also means ¡®ink¡¯ or ¡®black,¡¯ but it sounds much more cultured.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a last name; just call me Xiao Hei,¡±


    The little girl shook her head, uttering a phrase that reminded Chen Mobai of Qing Nu¡¯s words.


    Qing Nu also had only a name, no surname.


    Could it be¡­


    Chen Mobai thought of Qing Nu¡¯s background and was suddenly alarmed, gripping the little girl¡¯s hand a little tighter. Yet, he then reminded himself that they were in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, watched over by two Huashen Ancestors ¨C the safest place in the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Where is your home? Uncle will take you there,¡±


    ¡°My home is in that direction!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The little girl pointed westward with the left hand holding her wooden doll.


    Chen Mobai looked up and was slightly surprised.


    Wasn¡¯t that the Immortal Peak of Ancestor Baiguang?


    ¡°No one lives there, Xiao Hei; are you sure you haven¡¯t mistaken the direction of your home?¡±


    ¡°Maybe, I snuck out, and granny usually keeps a close watch, she doesn¡¯t allow me to go down the mountain,¡±


    The little girl pouted and nodded after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s remark, suspecting that she might indeed have stayed out too long and gotten turned around.

 Chapter 857 - Chapter 857 Chapter 481 Pure Yin Body

    Chapter 857: Chapter 481 Pure Yin Body Chapter 857: Chapter 481 Pure Yin Body Chen Mobai held Xiao Hei¡¯s hand and asked her if she remembered her family¡¯s phone number.


    Xiao Hei shook her head, indicating she didn¡¯t remember.


    Chen Mobai shook his head at the parents¡¯ carelessness while preparing to take her towards the Zhongli Residence.


    Those who lived within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains were all from Deification Clans, and there were only so many people; once Zhongli Tianyu returned, he would certainly be able to notify Xiao Hei¡¯s family.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai relaxed and strolled around the environment of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains with Xiao Hei.


    ¡°Uncle, can we go check out that pavilion? When I was at my own mountain top, I always looked at this place with curiosity.¡±


    Who knew that halfway there, Xiao Hei, suddenly looking a bit embarrassed, pulled on Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and turned to point at the Meeting Immortals Peak¡¯s mountaintop where the red pavilion hung the Pure Yang Bell.


    Indeed, from other mountaintops, it was a landmark.


    It was only natural for a child to be curious about such things.


    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go. Uncle will take you there.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled as he led Xiao Hei toward the bell tower at the summit.


    The brass-colored Pure Yang Bell was large and heavy, with no sides and a nose on top, strung up on a thick hemp rope hanging from the pavilion¡¯s main beam.


    In the long silence, the surface showed signs of wear due to wind and sun, but Chen Mobai knew these were patterns formed by years of accumulated dust.


    ¡°So this is what it¡¯s like up here¡­¡±


    Xiao Hei stood beneath the square bell, broader than five of herself combined, her eyes lighting up with satisfaction and joy as her curiosity seemed quenched.


    ¡°Uncle, can this bell be rung?¡±


    Seeing the thick wooden stick hung beside the Pure Yang Bell, Xiao Hei couldn¡¯t help but look at Chen Mobai with hopeful eyes.


    ¡°This Pure Yang Bell is a very powerful Magic Artifact. Uncle isn¡¯t sure if you can withstand the bell¡¯s chime, so let¡¯s not ring it, okay?¡±


    Chen Mobai considered it, then decided to firmly decline.


    Even Zhongli Tianyu, with his Foundation Establishment at the ninth layer of Perfection, needed to meditate for half an hour to recover after ringing it once, and although Chen Mobai was far superior in Magic Duels, his Spiritual Consciousness Realm was not much different.


    If Foundation Establishment Practitioners were like this, let alone a child like Xiao Hei who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.


    And if he himself fell into a meditative state and Xiao Hei was left unattended, what if an accident occurred?


    ¡°Okay, Uncle.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Xiao Hei behaved maturely. Although somewhat disappointed, she still nodded her head, came over, and took the initiative to hold his hand.


    ¡°This is the highest place on Meeting Immortals Peak. Since you can see it from your home, then you should be able to see your house from here.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai took Xiao Hei up to the uppermost level of the bell tower pavilion.


    ¡°It seems to be over there.¡±


    After walking around with Chen Mobai for a bit, Xiao Hei finally stopped on the western side and pointed towards Wangxian Peak.


    [Could this child actually be a descendant of Ancestor Baiguang?] Chen Mobai thought with some amazement, although he had not heard of any descendants from the two renowned ancestors of the Immortal Gates.


    On the other hand, Leading Star Ancestor had disciples all over the world and was known to dabble in all sorts of oddities, with people from the Patching Heaven Institute occasionally summoned to visit the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Compared to that, Ancestor Baiguang had always been devoted to Sword Training, a true Sword Cultivator. He only had one female disciple at his side, considered to be a distant relative and a descendant of Baiguang, whose parents had both failed in attempting Foundation Establishment and passed away in meditation, left orphaned and pitied by the Ancestor who then took her under his wing.


    Chen Mobai heard from Che Yucheng that Master Chengxuan, the institute head, had last seen this Huashen Ancestor more than three hundred years ago.


    ¡°Cough cough cough¡­¡±


    Just then, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a coldness in his palm as Xiao Hei began to cough violently.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Xiao Hei¡¯s hands turn as cold as ice, her originally fair skin growing pale, and her entire person¡¯s Vital Essence began to dim.


    Her lips quivered slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed to lack the strength and slumped down.


    Chen Mobai immediately held her in his arms and placed his hand on her pulse, sending in a thread of Divine Sense to check her condition, no longer concerned with the Immortal Gates¡¯ emphasis on privacy in such a situation.


    To his astonishment, the thread of Divine Sense felt like it had entered an extremely cold domain, freezing upon entering Xiao Hei¡¯s body.


    He sensed an accumulation of cold energy in Xiao Hei¡¯s meridians and was grateful he hadn¡¯t directly infused Pure Yang Spiritual Power, or the clash of Yin and Yang could have worsened her condition.


    After hesitating, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have the heart to see such a lovely girl suffer and mobilized a thread of his Longevity Spiritual Power, transferring it into her body.


    The Longevity Spiritual Power was balanced and gentle, even capable of extending one¡¯s lifespan, so it did not conflict with the cold energy inside Xiao Hei.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Chen Mobai dared not infuse too much, as the girl¡¯s body was not yet fully grown and her capacity for Spiritual Power was limited, not to mention the prevalence of the cold energy in her meridians.


    But the Longevity Spiritual Power did take effect, as Xiao Hei¡¯s coughing began to subside, and she started to breathe lightly, showing signs of improvement.


    ¡°Uncle¡­ I¡¯ve been sickly since I was a child, so Granny doesn¡¯t let me go outside¡­¡±


    After listening to Xiao Hei, Chen Mobai nodded his head and softly suggested she stay at home and not wander off in the future.


    ¡°With such advanced medical techniques in the Immortal Gates, and your family living in these Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, how could there be a disease that can¡¯t be cured?¡±

 Chapter 858 - Chapter 858 Chapter 481 Pure Yin Body_2

    Chapter 858: Chapter 481: Pure Yin Body_2 Chapter 858: Chapter 481: Pure Yin Body_2 Having temporarily eased Xiao Hei¡¯s symptoms, Chen Mobai remembered this.


    The Three Extremes Sage of the Imperial Medical Academy was known as the Medical Sage of the present age, with medical skills close to those of the immortals. In the Immortal Gate, as long as he took action, there was basically no illness he couldn¡¯t cure.


    ¡°Granny says I have the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian. It¡¯s a great opportunity, but also a calamity. As long as I survive past the age of eighteen, I can transform into a Pure Yin Body, which is the most supreme constitution in the Immortal Gate, even more powerful than the Heavenly Spiritual Root,¡± Xiao Hei said, without any guard, as she curled up in Chen Mobai¡¯s arms, sharing her condition.


    ¡°Nine Yin Extreme Meridian? Pure Yin Body!¡±


    Chen Mobai had not heard of these two terms, but with his knowledge, he quickly thought of the ¡°Pure Yang Body.¡±


    Obviously, the Pure Yin Body was the counterpart of the Pure Yang Body. Did that mean Xiao Hei was the female version of the Yuanyang Ancestor?


    That isn¡¯t quite right, even if their constitutions could correspond, the cultivation techniques did not.


    The Immortal Gate had only the Pure Yang Scroll, but no Pure Yin Scroll!


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m cold!¡±


    While Chen Mobai was thinking of these matters, Xiao Hei suddenly spoke with a weak voice from within his arms, a sense of heartfelt compassion made him instinctively hold her tighter, and he even circulated his Pure Yang Spiritual Power to form a warm-stove-like aura around them.


    However, Xiao Hei¡¯s chill emanated from her marrow, permeating her entire body.


    Even if the sun shone brilliantly outside, her complexion remained pale, and her body ice-cold when the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian acted up.


    [If this were my child, I would rather she be completely ordinary, rather than suffer like this to acquire the Pure Yin Body.]


    Feeling Xiao Hei¡¯s continuous shivering in his arms, Chen Mobai¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but wrench in pain, and he suddenly thought this.


    As the symptoms of her Nine Yin Extreme Meridian were about to flare up again, and Chen Mobai was planning to recklessly take her to the Zhongli Residence, a gray figure suddenly stepped out of the void and landed in front of him.


    The newcomer was an old granny with a head full of silver hair. She looked very old, but her eyes were bright and wise, shining with the depth and wisdom of the years.


    She was dressed in white hemp clothes that appeared to be a bit gray, embodying simplicity and exuding a kind of affability.


    But the moment Chen Mobai¡¯s energy felt hers, he was substantially shaken.


    A Golden Core Master!


    Who was she?


    Friend or foe?


    This is the Immortal Gate, there shouldn¡¯t be any trouble.


    ¡°Granny¡­¡±


    Just then, Xiao Hei softly called out from his embrace, calming down Chen Mobai, who was almost unable to control his urge to communicate with the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Is she related to Xiao Hei?¡±


    ¡°This child has troubled you.¡±


    The old granny across from him nodded and then looked at the trembling pale-faced Xiao Hei with heartache. Chen Mobai immediately picked her up and handed her over.


    But for some reason,


    as Xiao Hei was taken away by the granny and left his arms, Chen Mobai felt a sense of loss, as if something precious had been taken away.


    As a family member of Xiao Hei, she evidently had abundant experience with the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian acting up. A pure white spiritual light emerged from her palm, enveloping Xiao Hei¡¯s entire body.


    Shortly after, Xiao Hei¡¯s complexion stabilized, and her violent shivering stopped.


    ¡°Thank you for this time.¡±


    After the old granny suppressed the symptoms of the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian, she thanked Chen Mobai and was about to leave when Chen Mobai suddenly called out to her.


    ¡°Excuse me, may I ask where the senior lives? I am very fond of Xiao Hei and wonder if there is a chance for me to visit in the future.¡±


    After saying this, even Chen Mobai himself was taken aback.


    This wasn¡¯t like his character.


    ¡°My name is Yu Huiping. If you want to see Xiao Hei in the future, just call this number,¡± the old granny hesitated but still left contact information with Chen Mobai. Then, she stepped off the bell tower, and in the next moment, she vanished into the void with Xiao Hei, out of sight.


    Is this the Divine ability of the Golden Core Domain?


    Not only for storage and concealing people but also for teleportation.


    Chen Mobai was envious of the iconic skills of the Golden Core Masters of the Immortal Gate.


    However, he would have them soon as well.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai took out his phone and saved the phone number Yu Huiping just gave him.


    Should I visit next time or not?


    Chen Mobai was never such an enthusiastic person, but Xiao Hei indeed endeared himself to him. Even though their interaction was brief, he felt as if she were his own daughter.


    Just when his emotions had settled, his thoughts began to whirl at this moment.


    Chen Mobai turned to look at the Pure Yang Bell in front of him, with its solemn shape and unique design.


    He walked to the wooden mallet used to strike the bell, grasped the hemp rope tied to it, and after pulling, he hammered down forcefully.


    Dong!


    The deep and resonant toll of the bell was like a complete symphony, creating an extremely solemn rhythm in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears and heart.


    And at that instant, he also felt the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea pouring out like mercury, with the Pure Yang Bell absorbing ninety-nine percent of it.


    A feeling of emptiness and weakness overwhelmed him, and he couldn¡¯t help but sit down on the spot.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why Zhongli Tianyu felt so drained after tolling the bell.


    But it also helped him to calm down; as the profound bell tolls filled the air, his mind cleared, slowly returning to his most rational and composed state.


    In this condition, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the Guidance Book, which he had never been able to master, suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.


    Tolling the bell could enhance comprehension in such a short time!?


    Chen Mobai recalled the scene of Zhongli Tianyu sitting in meditation for half an hour and couldn¡¯t help but come to a sudden realization.


    He didn¡¯t waste this opportunity and immediately closed his eyes to meditate, recalling the words and sentences of the Guidance Book.


    Unfortunately, the state of entering tranquility disappeared too quickly; Chen Mobai had just grasped a few sentences before he emerged from it.


    He opened his eyes, resigned, only to find Zhongli Tianyu standing before him.


    ¡°Are you done with your business?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked; Zhongli Tianyu nodded, indicating that he had gone back to re-register his information, and it was quickly settled.


    ¡°It is strange, now they even required the registration of my details as the property owner, which wasn¡¯t necessary before¡­¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu muttered, but since the property management of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains was directly under the Immortal Gate, he didn¡¯t challenge them on the spot; after all, it was just about filling in his own information.


    ¡°How do you feel about cultivating after the bell tolls?¡±


    But Zhongli Tianyu quickly put this matter out of his mind. When he returned, he saw Chen Mobai sitting under the Pure Yang Bell and had been waiting until now.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite good. If I could toll the bell every day, maybe in a year, I could comprehend the Seven Great Transcendent Divine Arts of the Immortal Gate,¡± Chen Mobai responded without modesty, maintaining his persona as a peerless genius with the qualifications for Divinity Transformation.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to toll the bell once a month. If you hear the bell too often, you¡¯ll become accustomed to it, and the effects will weaken,¡± said Zhongli Tianyu, revealing the mystery of the Pure Yang Bell. It had been exactly a month since his last bell toll, which was part of the privileges offered here at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains; everyone was allowed to toll the bell.


    ¡°This Magic Artifact is one of the most popular in Yuanyang View, unlike the Pure Yang Mirror, which condenses Pure Yang Purple Qi that the Immortal Gate will collect. The Pure Yang Bell will also draw our Spiritual Power as a fee, but when compared to the bell-induced entry into tranquility, it¡¯s considered worthwhile.¡±


    However, not every Foundation Establishment Practitioner on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains would come to toll the bell.


    As the saying goes, one often doesn¡¯t cherish what one enjoys readily.


    For someone like Zhongli Tianyu, tolling the bell once a month was considered diligent.


    ¡°By the way, I met a little girl just now¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai left Yuanyang View with Zhongli Tianyu, he began to speak of Xiao Hei but didn¡¯t mention that the little girl had the Nine Yin Meridian.


    ¡°Wangxian Peak? Impossible, Ancestor Baiguang still has a lifespan, and it¡¯s not yet time for him to marry and leave descendants; there are only him and his disciple there.¡±


    However, after hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu shook his head, indicating that it was impossible for there to be a little girl on Wangxian Peak.


    ¡°The girl¡¯s family came to pick her up later, an old lady, also a Golden Core Master.¡±


    ¡°A Golden Core Master? In these Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, that is rare. I can describe some of her physical characteristics; let me ask my aunt and see whose child she is, daring to claim she lives on Wangxian Peak.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was excited and reached for his phone, preparing to call Zhongli Yue.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°She said her name is Yu Huiping.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated her name directly.


    Upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu froze, then suddenly turned to look at Wangxian Peak!


    ¡°You know her?¡± Chen Mobai asked curiously.


    ¡°Of course, she is the one and only direct disciple of Ancestor Baiguang. Don¡¯t you know?¡±

 Chapter 859 - Chapter 859 Chapter 482 Not Familiar

    Chapter 859: Chapter 482: Not Familiar Chapter 859: Chapter 482: Not Familiar Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know.


    He knew of the two Huashen Ancestors, the three Hall Masters, and the fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors of the Immortal Gate, but apart from those he had met personally, he hadn¡¯t specifically sought to learn about the rest of the Golden Core Masters.


    Moreover, it had been three to four hundred years since Yu Huiping was accepted as a disciple by Ancestor Baiguang, a time when his grandfather¡¯s grandfather hadn¡¯t even been born.


    But now that he knew, it wasn¡¯t too late.


    After confirming from Zhongli Tianyu that Xiao Hei really was from Wangxian Peak, Chen Mobai actually felt at ease.


    With a contemporary Divinity Transformation figure behind him, at least his life wasn¡¯t in danger.


    Thinking this, he let out a slight sigh of relief.


    In the following days, he had wanted to visit Elder Qingping at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel.


    Unfortunately, he learned from the Golden Core Master Zhongli Yue that though Elder Qingping had been arranged to stay there, he had in fact already gone to the Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s Gathering Immortals Peak to break through his realm by borrowing the Spirit Vein Qi of the Six Grade Spirit Vein.


    Considering this, Chen Mobai did not presume to visit hastily, and after disturbing Zhongli Tianyu for a couple of days, he felt it was somewhat improper to continue living at someone else¡¯s place and thus decided to take his leave.


    ¡°I have plenty of empty rooms here; you could stay for a year and a half without any issues,¡±


    Thinking Chen Mobai was just being polite, Zhongli Tianyu took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°A few friends also have a bit of trouble with Wangwu Cave Heaven, and it¡¯s not convenient to enter and exit your place. I¡¯d better find a hotel outside,¡±


    With that said, Zhongli Tianyu didn¡¯t insist on keeping him any longer.


    ¡°Little Chen, feel free to visit more often when you have time,¡±


    At the farewell, the Golden Core Master Zhongli Yue spoke very politely, and Chen Mobai nodded with a smile.


    As he was leaving the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, Chen Mobai hesitated over whether to go to Wangxian Peak to see Xiao Hei.


    But after the sound of the Zhong Ming, he found himself in a more rational and calm state, feeling that he and the little girl had merely had a brief encounter and it would be best not to disturb her too much.


    Nevertheless, as Chen Mobai took his last steps away from the place, he couldn¡¯t help but turn around for one last look at the direction of Wangxian Peak.


    He had always thought little kids were troublesome, but he hadn¡¯t expected a girl to be quite adorable.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai returned to the office of Dance Tool Dao Academy in Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    He gathered with familiar people like Zuo Qiushi and Bian Jingchun, discussing some of his own knowledge and experience related to opening the Golden Core Domain.


    But in reality, at their stage, they had basically learned about the steps needed through various channels: sensing the void, grasping the void, condensing the void¡­


    In the end, whether one could successfully create the domain or not still depended on individual quality.


    ¡°Our chances don¡¯t seem very good, but Junior Brother Chen should have no problem, right?¡±


    As everyone discussed, Zuo Qiushi spoke up, as Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishing talent was known to all those present.


    ¡°There¡¯s no certainty in this. Even when Ancestor Baiguang was at the Completion of Foundation Establishment, didn¡¯t he also fail?¡±


    The one speaking was Bian Jingchun, who sincerely had Chen Mobai¡¯s interests at heart.


    Chen Mobai was now widely recognized as having the Qualification of Deification. If he failed to open the Golden Core Domain, those from other Daoist Academies who hadn¡¯t found an opportunity yet would probably start slandering and mocking him openly on the internet.


    ¡°Senior Sister Bian is right,¡±


    After hearing Bian Jingchun¡¯s words, Zuo Qiushi also felt his own comments were somewhat inappropriate, realizing they, as his own people, shouldn¡¯t be adding fuel to the fire.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused. He had just stayed in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains for two days. What had happened outside? Was it about him?


    ¡°The news of the Portal¡¯s opening has spread throughout the entire Immortal Gate, becoming the top trend recently, even making it onto a television show that listed the most likely successful seed players, inviting the public to vote. In this, Junior Brother Chen, you¡¯re ranked first with seventy-three percent of the votes,¡±


    Sun Daoji spoke, turned on the television, and switched to the hottest variety channel of the Immortal Gate, where a host and several guests from various industries were discussing which among the cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment was the most likely to open the Golden Core Domain.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that to be expected?¡±


    Chen Mobai, looking at himself ranked first on the screen, couldn¡¯t help but nod and say.


    It was like back at Jumang Academy, when Ding Chundzhi put him at the top of the Foundation List.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Combining his past achievements, strength, talent, and other aspects, he was truly the undisputed number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the current time.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, falling from a high pedestal can be dreadful. This variety show¡¯s host, Nie Wenzhen, is from Pure Yang Academy, and he is setting you up,¡±


    Bian Jingchun said, and Chen Mobai had also realized this.


    On the show, the host Nie Wenzhen, proclaiming himself as Chen Mobai¡¯s number one fan, lavished praise upon him. If any of the guests expressed even a hint of doubt about Chen Mobai¡¯s confidence in opening the Golden Core Domain, Nie would not hesitate to lash out.


    [Who are you to judge the Qualification of Deification?]


    [Do you understand the weight of being the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator?]


    [Chen Mobai is undefeated among all peers in all Daoist Academies, you are all just jealous!]


    His behavior truly exemplified the saying that one fan is worth ten haters.


    Clear-headed cultivators naturally wouldn¡¯t care, but those with a more extreme personality, upon watching the show, would immediately be inspired by a reverse psychology.

 Chapter 860 - Chapter 860 Chapter 482 Not Familiar_2

    Chapter 860: Chapter 482 Not Familiar_2 Chapter 860: Chapter 482 Not Familiar_2 For a time, although Chen Mobai¡¯s voting rate was still first and was continuously rising, if he failed to open the Golden Core Domain, the backlash would inevitably follow.


    At that moment, those who had been long suppressing their resentment online would swarm out, mocking and even outright attacking him.


    ¡°As long as I remain on top, these people will have to praise me against their will,¡±


    If this had been before, Chen Mobai might have felt a bit anxious, but now he was brimming with confidence, sitting in his designated seat and making a statement that stunned everyone present.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, continuing like this might cost you some of the public¡¯s affection,¡±


    As someone with experience, who had also once been in charge of public relations in Red City Cave Heaven, Bian Jingchun was very clear about how the media could be used to destroy someone¡¯s reputation.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m not living for them. These people, whose opinions are swayed by others and lack their own judgment, simply aren¡¯t worth paying attention to. If I were to acknowledge them even once, I would have already lost,¡±


    Hearing this, people like Zuo Qiushi couldn¡¯t help but admire Chen Mobai for his youthful and broad-minded approach.


    ¡°No wonder you have such achievements, Chen Junior Brother. Just in terms of mindset alone, we are far behind you.¡±


    In the midst of all the praise, Chen Mobai let out a modest smile and raised his cup to toast everyone.


    Right at that moment, the variety show on TV started an outside-the-studio phone interview with celebrities, and soon a well-known school alumnus who was familiar to everyone appeared on the screen.


    Meng Huang!


    She appeared to be at her home, dressed in simple home clothes, her unpainted face delicate and exquisite, with long eyebrows and eyes and a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, every gesture in front of the camera seemingly perfect.


    Chen Mobai had heard from her before that such seemingly spontaneous segments in shows were actually pre-arranged scripts.


    It seems this time was no different, though he didn¡¯t know why she would participate in this program.


    ¡°Ms. Meng Huang, as an alumnus of the same Daoist Academy, what is your opinion of Chen Mobai? Do you think he¡¯s the most likely to open a Golden Core Domain with the upcoming portal?¡±


    The host, Nie Wenzhen, began showing his side as a devoted fan, elevating Chen Mobai from the start.


    According to the script, as a fellow graduate of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Meng Huang was expected to join in the praise, letting all of Immortal Gate know that if Chen Mobai failed, it would be against all righteousness.


    ¡°Chen Mobai? I know him, but we¡¯re not close!¡±


    However, to Nie Wenzhen¡¯s surprise, Meng Huang didn¡¯t stick to the script.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you alumni? And there¡¯s even a photo of the two of you at the train station online? Your fans also say that you two are very good friends.¡±


    Nie Wenzhen, not willing to give up, prompted Meng Huang again, reminding her to follow the script.


    ¡°We are schoolmates, but we were not in the same year, and he is a pure-hearted person who only studies and practices cultivation. I really don¡¯t have much interaction with him. Since I don¡¯t know him well, I¡¯d rather not give my opinion.¡±


    After Meng Huang spoke these words, Nie Wenzhen realized she definitely wasn¡¯t going to follow the script, but he still played his role as a dedicated fan, starting to educate the audience on how exceptional and powerful Chen Mobai was, unbeatable in his cohort, a sword cultivation genius.


    ¡°His attempt to open the Golden Core Domain will surely succeed. If not, he wouldn¡¯t deserve to be considered for Divinity Transformation!¡±


    However, by the end of his statement, Nie Wenzhen still couldn¡¯t help but reveal some of his own biases, causing Meng Huang to frown slightly before cutting off the connection abruptly.


    Leaving Nie Wenzhen alone and awkward in front of the blank screen.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you two quite close?¡±


    Bian Jingchun teased Chen Mobai a bit. She and Zhuang Jialan were close friends. When not relying on the True Dragon Ding for cultivation, Bian would visit Jialan at the student council to chat and had learned many things from her.


    ¡°She¡¯s helping me out. But this might subject her to some private message bombardment.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t believe Bian Jingchun hadn¡¯t realized that; he could only shake his head with a wry smile.


    Meng Huang didn¡¯t want to be built up so high, so she tore up the script. Nevertheless, this could negatively affect her reputation in the industry and cause some of the uninformed public to think poorly of her.


    After all, the relationship between alumni is highly valued within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she join the Immortal Gate¡¯s Literature and Arts Department after graduating? Maybe invite her to our next gathering,¡±


    Zuo Qiushi suggested, as all the departments of Immortal Gate were headquartered in Wangwu Cave Heaven, Meng Huang should theoretically be there when she wasn¡¯t on performance duty.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have her contact details either, and our connections in the Literature and Arts Department are not the same as ours.¡±


    Sun Daoji shook his head helplessly. Compared to them who still needed to struggle to earn a Jade Return Pill, those in the Literature and Arts Department who practiced Mystic Sound Method had an easier path once they reached Foundation Establishment.


    Those present only regretted not having such talent, for if they did, they would at least have a path to the heavens.


    With or without the Foundation Establishment of the Mystic Sound Method, the gap was as vast as that between heaven and earth.


    ¡°She¡¯s not in Wangwu Cave Heaven lately.¡±


    Just as the crowd wondered how to invite Meng Huang, Chen Mobai spoke up to halt their plans.


    ¡°How do you know? Have you contacted her?¡±


    Bian Jingchun, initially puzzled, had a sudden look of realization.


    ¡°Hmm, I made a call before coming here, she has some performance tasks.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. He didn¡¯t have many friends, and Meng Huang was one of the closest. Naturally, he had made contact before coming to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    ¡°That¡¯s truly unfortunate.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi and the others expressed their regrets upon hearing this.


    But what Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention was that Meng Huang¡¯s performance tasks weren¡¯t many, and she could rush back before the opening time of the portal.


    Half a month passed by swiftly.


    That day, the Heaven Realm Portal Administration summoned them all and a specialist spent a whole day explaining the details concerning the opening of the Golden Core Domain.


    There, Chen Mobai also met Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°Congratulations on your successful Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°Thank you. It¡¯s only a small step ahead. With your talents, you are bound to catch up sooner or later.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s eyes were clear and bright, and as she spoke, her red lips parted gently, her demeanor gentle as water. She and Chen Mobai, standing by the window, conversed intimately.


    Those who wanted to greet the new Golden Core Cultivator hesitated upon seeing the two together, feeling somewhat unworthy.


    At that moment, a familiar figure approached Chen Mobai.


    It was the former chief Zong Zi of Jumang Academy; he had also reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. He greeted Wen Ren Xuewei first before acknowledging Chen Mobai.


    Following him, Taishi Shu from Kunpeng Daoist Institute also came over, while Ling Daoshi pretended not to see and turned to leave through the back door.


    But he was stopped by Chen Mobai¡¯s shout.


    While doing research, the two had had numerous interactions at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Especially since Ling Daoshi was the successor being heavily groomed by Fu Borong, sometimes he had to deal with Chen Mobai¨Csomeone who made his very bones ache just at the sight of him.


    ¡°Long time no see, everyone!¡±


    Zuo Qiu, seeing that three familiar people had all gathered, also came over laughing heartily. After all, the four heads of their respective Daoist Academies had been equally famous in the past.


    Unfortunately, after Chen Mobai suddenly rose to prominence, people started forgetting about them, only remembering the strongest one.


    ¡°This time, let¡¯s have another challenge, how about that?¡±


    Suddenly, Taishi Shu initiated a challenge towards Chen Mobai. Her heroic visage brimmed with confidence, and her gaze was fiery.


    ¡°Compete in what?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s about the Golden Core Domain; let¡¯s see who can create one successfully. So, do you dare?¡±


    Taishi Shu, a genius who had also cultivated the Yuan Magnetic Force after Lan Haitian of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, was regarded as the second most likely after Chen Mobai to create a Golden Core Domain.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    She had always resented losing to Chen Mobai.


    This was an excellent opportunity to redeem herself, and before coming here, she even sought advice from Lan Haitian on his successes, giving herself a fifty to sixty percent chance of creating a Golden Core Domain.


    She wanted to seize this opportunity to wash away her previous humiliation.


    In response, Chen Mobai simply smiled and spoke words befitting his current character and status.


    ¡°I¡¯ve won so much, victory doesn¡¯t feel like much anymore. I hope you can give me a taste of what defeat is like.¡±

 Chapter 861 - Chapter 861 Chapter 483 Big Barrier Breaking Pill

    Chapter 861: Chapter 483: Big Barrier Breaking Pill Chapter 861: Chapter 483: Big Barrier Breaking Pill Chen Mobai¡¯s words were incredibly arrogant, yet everyone present felt they were only natural.


    Because it was a fact!


    Ever since he had appeared as if out of thin air, he had truly never lost, an undefeated champion among his peers.


    ¡°You just wait.¡±


    Taishi Shu was not convinced, but couldn¡¯t think of a retort and could only spit out a customary harsh remark before leaving the classroom of the Portal Administration.


    ¡°Her cultivation of the Yuan Magnetic Force gives her an unusual sensitivity to the Void, perhaps she really will be able to succeed in opening one.¡±


    After Taishi Shu had left, Wen Ren Xuewei spoke up.


    ¡°Even if she does manage to succeed, it doesn¡¯t mean she will have beaten me, because I am certain to succeed as well. It¡¯s just a pity that in that case, we would end up in yet another draw¡­¡±


    In front of outsiders, especially the prodigies from other Daoist academies, Chen Mobai always paid great attention to maintaining his persona.


    He was the most talented individual since Ancestor Baiguang from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the one with the qualification for Deification.


    He needed to be wild, he needed to be proud, he needed that overwhelming confidence to ignore all rivals and not to bring shame upon his academy.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, even Wen Ren Xuewei, who had formed her Core, could only shake her head helplessly, as she had nothing to refute them with.


    After all, within the same realm, this guy was definitely the best.


    She even suspected that even after forming her Core, she wouldn¡¯t necessarily be able to beat him with certainty.


    Because this guy before her was an unrivalled genius in the Sword Dao, owning a fourth-grade superior Purple Electric Sword that completely responded to his heart¡¯s intent.


    ¡°Nowadays, many people are watching you, stealing the spotlight from me, the recent Core Formation achiever. I hope you don¡¯t fail when the time comes; otherwise, your reputation will hit rock bottom.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei said her last piece then left, leading Zong Zi and other Foundation Building Rank-9 cultivators from the Jumang Academy.


    As for her implications, Chen Mobai acknowledged them with good grace, smiling slightly as he and Zhongli Tianyu, along with others from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, departed as well.


    The remaining people in the classroom turned their gazes towards Ling Daoshi, who left without displaying any emotion.


    However, the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s side seemed to scatter, with only two people following Ling Daoshi.


    But this was also characteristic of the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s graduates, infamous for their fondness of infighting.


    The official opening of the Portal was determined after this session with the Portal Administration.


    It would be in seven days.


    Chen Mobai discussed the details of opening the Golden Core Domain with Zhongli Tianyu and other Dance Tool Dao Academy members before they all returned to their respective living quarters to rest and prepare to reach their peak condition.


    After leaving the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, Chen Mobai chose a chain hotel.


    The room there had third-grade lower-grade Spiritual Energy, but he mostly used Spirit Stones for cultivation.


    Although both his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense had been honed over the years to the peak of the Foundation Building Realm, where no further progress seemed possible, the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique had granted him an external Small Void for storing Spiritual Power, allowing him to accumulate Liquid Spiritual Power once more.


    However, for Chen Mobai, this was just a way to pass the time.


    His primary goal in using Spirit Stones was to cultivate the Pure Yang Body.


    The prerequisite for Core Formation with the Pure Yang Scroll required cultivating the Pure Yang Body to the realm of six Yang, which Chen Mobai had already achieved. However, realms beyond six Yang could also be cultivated in the Foundation Building Realm.


    But aside from Chen Mobai, no one in the history of thousands of years in the Immortal Gate had been as extravagant as him to advance the Pure Yang Body solely with Spirit Stones.


    After obtaining a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones from Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai had enough resources to push his cultivation to the Eight Yang Body.


    He was still waiting for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and Meng Huang, so he took the opportunity to engage in activities that would bolster his foundation.


    If fortune smiled upon him, and he could attain the Seven Yang Body before Core Formation, an improvement to his Fire Spiritual Root might aid in the Core Formation as well.


    Apart from accumulating the Spiritual Power in the Small Void, his time was devoted to cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body and the Precious Golden Light.


    Because the Longevity Dao Body stalled with the completion of the Longevity Tree Sap and cultivating with Spiritual Energy was challenging for Chen Mobai, who was accustomed to rapid progress with the help of abundant resources, he had paused it and dedicated that time to the Pure Yang Daoist Body instead.


    However, having already completed over half of the first layer of the Longevity Dao Body, Chen Mobai was determined not to abandon it.


    Besides waiting for the other True Disciples of the sect to reach Foundation Establishment, he also contemplated practicing the Blackwater Cultivation.


    Having mastered the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique, he could use the external Void to store the Spiritual Power generated by Blackwater Cultivation. With some time spent at Qi Cultivation Perfection and Condensing Qi into Liquid, he might be able to deceive the Magic Treasure Tree.


    But since the water element was scant in his Spiritual Root, he thought it unlikely, even if Blackwater Spiritual Power was raised to a Foundation level, that it would coax Longevity Tree Sap from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    No talisman in the Immortal Gate for swiftly ascending to Heavenly Water Spiritual Root was known to him.

    So, Chen Mobai kept hesitating, fearing it would be a waste of time.


    Drip, drip, drip!


    At that moment, the ringtone of his phone woke Chen Mobai from his introspection.


    He glanced at the screen and saw it was Meng Huang calling.


    Recalling their prior conversation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.

 Chapter 862 - Chapter 862 Chapter 483 Big Barrier Breaking Pill_2

    Chapter 862: Chapter 483 Big Barrier Breaking Pill_2 Chapter 862: Chapter 483 Big Barrier Breaking Pill_2 Alas, it looks like a few tough days are ahead again.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we¡¯re not that familiar with each other?¡±


    After giving Meng Huang guidance on her cultivation, Chen Mobai spoke with a hint of jest.


    ¡°We¡¯re not familiar.¡±


    Meng Huang said, eyes wide open while telling this conscience-stricken lie. She lay lazily on the sofa, her snow-white skin blushing faintly, worried since her bottleneck at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment showed no signs of breaking through. Her delicate face was tinged with worry.


    ¡°The sixth layer of Foundation Establishment is indeed the most solid bottleneck in this realm. It¡¯s bound to trap a cultivator for some time; there¡¯s no need to hurry.¡±


    Chen Mobai had directly consumed a set of Longevity Tree Fruits to expand his Dantian Qi Sea to the completion of Foundation Establishment, so he couldn¡¯t use his own experience to guide Meng Huang and could only try to comfort her with his words.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid of delaying you.¡±


    Meng Huang pouted and said after hearing him. Chen Mobai was also slightly moved.


    Their relationship had grown intimate over the years through several rounds of guidance in cultivation, during which he had shared with her his intention not to endure sixty years of service but to form his Gold Core once he had opened up his Golden Core Domain, relying on his own strength and talent.


    When Meng Huang heard this, she was naturally shocked.


    But she also felt that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, waiting like ordinary people for sixty years at the Foundation Building Realm was indeed a waste of time. Hence, she felt an urgent need to improve her cultivation level, wanting to master the Mystic Sound Method to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment as quickly as possible to help Chen Mobai break through the Divine Sense bottleneck before his Core Formation.


    She had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in her final year at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and it had been eight years since she graduated. With the resources of the cultural department of the Immortal Gate, she had easily cultivated to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    However, this bottleneck was not so easy to overcome, and Meng Huang had been stuck here for a whole year.


    As time passed, especially after the news that the Portal was opening spread, Meng Huang became even more anxious.


    If her sacrifice did not take place before Chen Mobai succeeded in forming his Core, then her ten years of hard work, each breakthrough inviting his guidance, would have all been in vain.


    Meng Huang was very clear that, with Chen Mobai¡¯s qualifications for Divinity Transformation, it was very possible for him to succeed in forming his Core without the aid of Elixirs or Spiritual Objects, and it wouldn¡¯t be a surprise even for the Nascent Soul Formation in the future.


    If she didn¡¯t make a significant investment now while he was still unassuming, and made a deep impression on him, it would be much harder to rely on him in the future when he became a peak figure of the Immortal Gate.


    The support given at the start, when one is insignificant, is the kindness that many great figures who stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate will remember in their hearts.


    Meng Huang felt that she definitely could not miss this vulnerable period before Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation.


    So after her graduation, she also cultivated extremely diligently.


    Unfortunately, her talent was still no match for his, and she got stuck at the bottleneck of the sixth layer of Foundation Building.


    ¡°After opening the Golden Core Domain, I¡¯ll make a trip back to Crimson Mountain to see if I can get you a Big Barrier Breaking Pill from the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai actually held Meng Huang in high regard; after all, he had already invested so much, and now he still had to work hard every year to guide her, waiting to try breaking through the Divine Sense bottleneck with the aid of her Original Yin.


    Seeing her so eager, he planned to lend her a helping hand.


    ¡°Actually, we do have Big Barrier Breaking Pills in our cultural department, but my Good Deed Points aren¡¯t enough to buy one. I¡¯ve taken on quite a few variety shows and commercial performances recently, and I¡¯ll soon have enough.¡±


    Meng Huang said something that made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes light up.


    ¡°How many Good Deed Points are you short of?¡±


    ¡°A Big Barrier Breaking Pill has a market price of thirty million Good Deed Points in the Immortal Gate. If we get it internally from the cultural department, we can get a 20% discount. I¡¯m still short by about ten million Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you mention this earlier? No wonder I¡¯ve been seeing you on TV so often. If you¡¯re short on Good Deed Points, couldn¡¯t you just call me? I¡¯ve been quite successful in business back home over the years.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he looked at Meng Huang with a somewhat tender gaze.


    After this conversation, he felt her dedication to his affairs and consequently felt a tinge of guilt, feeling that he hadn¡¯t been caring enough for her usually.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to feel like I¡¯m being kept by you.¡±


    Meng Huang still had a bit of pride. Although she had resolved to support Chen Mobai before his Core Formation, she also wanted to demonstrate her own worth.


    ¡°`


    After all, favor wears thin with use, and she hoped she could keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s pace in the future, so at first, she wanted to rely on her own efforts to make a breakthrough.


    When she felt that she couldn¡¯t reach Foundation Establishment Completion in a short time, and after hearing that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan to wait for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to undergo Core Formation, she started to become anxious and wanted to earn enough Good Deed Points to exchange for a Big Barrier Breaking Pill.


    ¡°Give me your account number, I¡¯ll transfer a large sum to you. Besides purchasing the Big Barrier Breaking Pill, you can also prepare some Small Barrier Breaking Elixirs.¡±


    As one of the keys to his Core Formation, Chen Mobai naturally hoped that Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation level would progress as fast as possible. For him, anything that money could solve was not a problem.


    Because he didn¡¯t value money and had the resources of the Tianhe Realm as a backup, as long as his realm increased, he could become wealthy at any moment as long as he could cover for himself within the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Once the matter was out in the open, Meng Huang didn¡¯t delay any longer. Her cheeks blushing, she lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from the gap in the sofa beneath her smooth and slender legs. She then informed Chen Mobai of her account number.


    Chen Mobai transferred 30 million Good Deed Points directly to her, and amidst the excitement, the two also harbored the hope of breaking through the Divine Sense bottleneck after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion by trying Dual Cultivation ahead of time.


    Three days later, Meng Huang reluctantly got dressed, put on sunglasses and a hat, and left Chen Mobai¡¯s room.


    If not for the fixed time of the portal¡¯s opening, she would not have left so quickly, for fear of affecting the important event of opening the Golden Core Domain.


    ¡­


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you look a bit pallid. Have you been over-cultivating?¡±


    In the classroom of the portal, Zuo Qiushi saw Chen Mobai walking in and was slightly surprised by his pale complexion.


    ¡°These past two days in seclusion, my Divine Sense made a breakthrough, and I got a bit too immersed in cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded truthfully. He and Meng Huang had tried Dual Cultivation ahead of time, and during that process, their Divine Senses fluctuated wildly. In that state, his Divine Sense, which seemed to have no more room for progress, actually showed signs of a breakthrough.


    Chen Mobai was overjoyed by this. Normally indifferent to such matters, he actively engaged in cultivation with Meng Huang these few days.


    In the end, it was Meng Huang who pointed out the importance of the Golden Core Domain and took the initiative to leave, which brought their cultivation to a halt.


    Although Chen Mobai was completely confident in opening the Golden Core Domain, he also felt the need to calm his Divine Sense and his state of mind, which had been significantly agitated over the past few days.


    It was unfortunate that even using the Morning Bell to refine and calm his Divine Sense, his complexion still looked a bit pallid and was immediately noticed by others.


    However, after hearing his explanation, everyone present sighed in admiration. Is this what the number one talent of the Immortal Gate looks like?


    Only someone with absolute confidence in opening the Golden Core Domain would be nonchalant about whether they were in their best state.


    ¡°Everybody follow us.¡±


    At that moment, three administrators of the portal walked in, all Golden Core Masters. They didn¡¯t say anything extra as everything that needed to be said had been said seven days before.


    Three Golden Core Masters, a total of three buses. They followed the teams from the Daoist Academies and each boarded a bus.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy was naturally on the same bus as the Jumang Academy. Chen Mobai looked at the increasingly familiar scenery outside, feeling a bit surprised.


    ¡°Why have we come here?¡±


    They disembarked at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    ¡°After the portal fluctuations detected the Different World, it was sent here to the Leading Star Ancestor.¡±


    The one speaking was Wen Ren Xuewei. Having undergone Core Formation, she was now among the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect and knew more than Chen Mobai.


    The portal fluctuations signaled that the war was coming, and indeed, it needed to be overseen by a Huashen Ancestor.

    As he thought this, an ordinary-looking, unremarkable middle-aged man descended from the sky.


    He wore the colorful cloud robes of the Repairing Heaven Institute and walked leisurely as if treading on clouds, greeting everyone with a warm smile: ¡°All of you are the future pillars of the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Seeing the middle-aged man, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel excited.


    He had finally met his idol in real life!

 Chapter 863 - Chapter 863 Chapter 484 Portal Opens

    Chapter 863: Chapter 484: Portal Opens Chapter 863: Chapter 484: Portal Opens However, in the presence of the crowd, Chen Mobai did not rashly go up to establish connections.


    After all, he had never had any interactions with Elder Qingping, and they were about to open the Portal at this critical juncture, so it was better not to create additional complications.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking, it was better to wait until he successfully opened his Golden Core Domain before attempting to strike up a conversation with Elder Qingping.


    At this moment, the three Golden Core Masters who had brought them over took out Taoist Talisman Papers, which upon activation caused wooden huts to appear out of thin air on the clearing of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    The number of wooden huts corresponded exactly to their number of people.


    ¡°Choose a hut each, and after the opening of the Portal, you must not interfere with one another,¡± Elder Qingping said to everyone, then with a sweep of his hand, the Void cracked open a huge fissure, like a silver gate that spanned the heavens and the earth, appearing before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already opened the Portal!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai and the others were still coming to terms with what had happened, Elder Qingping kindly spoke to them.


    It¡¯s open already?


    Everyone stared blankly at the Portal that had split open in the sky, within which was pitch darkness, as if it contained unlimited and mysterious chaos, with not even a sliver of light able to penetrate or enter. The darkness that occupied the inside seemed more oppressive the more concentrated their gazes became, sending a chill down their spines.


    ¡°Your realms are not high enough to look at the true Void for a long time. Go into your own huts to meditate. There, we have set up Formations and Restrictions that will dilute the concentration of the Power of Void to one percent. If your Divine Sense is strong enough, you should just be able to grasp it, even enough to use it to open your Golden Core Domain,¡± Elder Qingping advised them once more, softly reminding them that the time had started and they needed to race against the clock.


    In an instant, one after another, the cultivators at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment turned and flew toward the wooden hut closest to them.


    With a series of banging sounds, only a few people remained standing in place.


    Among them was Chen Mobai, who looked at the silver gate in the sky with a slightly odd expression, as if he had seen something beyond his expectations.


    However, just then, Zhongli Tianyu called out to him, and he too hastily found an empty hut and went in.


    By the time Chen Mobai came back to his senses, he was the only one left at the site.


    Elder Qingping and the three Golden Core Masters from the Portal Management Bureau all turned their gazes to him. Chen Mobai¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but he turned emotionlessly and flew towards the last hut.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    After he went in, Chen Mobai heard Elder Qingping ask.


    With a bang, the door of the hut was shut.


    Instead of immediately sitting cross-legged on the cushion to comprehend the Power of Void, Chen Mobai walked around the hut to make sure there were no surveillance Restrictions, then took out his phone.


    Alerts had already swamped the phone¡¯s screen with Turtle Treasure notifications.


    ¡°[Discovering the Gate of Tai Xu, would you like to absorb and refine?]¡±


    ¡°[Detected that the host¡¯s realm level is insufficient, unable to refine.]¡±


    ¡°[Discovering the Gate of Tai Xu, would you like to absorb and refine?]¡±


    ¡°[Detected that the host¡¯s realm level is insufficient, unable to refine.]¡±


    ¡­


    As Chen Mobai looked at his phone screen, Turtle Treasure continued to spam notifications until he opened the app, which finally calmed it down.


    Even so, his expression remained one of shocked confusion.


    Since the moment he acquired Turtle Treasure, he had never seen it have such a reaction or feature.


    What did it mean to absorb and refine?


    And it actually mentioned his realm level.


    What benefit would there be from absorbing and refining?


    Or could there be any detriments?


    Moreover, what exactly was this ¡°Gate of Tai Xu¡±?


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment and felt that given the situation just now outside, it should refer to the Portal.


    Was this the true name of the Immortal Gate¡¯s supreme treasure?


    Did the Immortal Gate know the name ¡°Gate of Tai Xu¡±?


    Furthermore, why did Turtle Treasure react so strongly to the Portal, even triggering a new feature he had never encountered before?


    As he thought about it, Chen Mobai was reminded of a deeply memorable event.


    Originally, Turtle Treasure was obtained by Liu Yanpei from the Tianhe Realm in the Taixu Temple on an unnamed barren mountain, and the names matched perfectly. Was there any connection?


    Moreover, his mother Tang Panchui¡¯s home village, Green Mountain Village, also had a Taixu Temple and the Taixu Mountain Range nearby. Was it a mere coincidence of names, or was there some fate involved?


    Sitting upright in the hut, Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts flew about chaotically¨CTurtle Treasure, the Portal, Taixu Mountain, Taixu Temple, the Gate of Tai Xu¨Call mixing together, making him feel overwhelmed.


    With a resounding ring, he struck the Morning Bell in the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Mansion, and in the sonorous resonance of the bell, his Heart and Mind gradually cleared, ceasing to ponder these questions.

    He decided to put these things aside for now, as the most critical task at hand was to open his Golden Core Domain.


    Chen Mobai had not forgotten the matter at hand. Although he was very confident, he still needed to succeed in this endeavor to prove himself as the foremost cultivator in the Immortal Gate at the Foundation Establishment level.


    After sitting cross-legged for a while, ensuring that all distractions had left his mind, Chen Mobai began to project his Divine Sense and feel the Power of Void.


    Because he had already refined the Power of Void through the Void Stones in the Tianhe Realm, this step came easily to him.


    While other cultivators were still projecting their Divine Senses, struggling to comprehend the existence of the Power of Void, Chen Mobai already felt as if he was placed in the midst of an ocean of Void.

 Chapter 864 - Chapter 864 Chapter 484 The Portal Opens_2

    Chapter 864: Chapter 484: The Portal Opens_2 Chapter 864: Chapter 484: The Portal Opens_2 The Power of Void within the Void Stones, after countless years of nurture by the earth, had become very gentle and controllable, much like the fine sand by the sea, and thus could be easily absorbed and condensed.


    However, the Power of Void that emerged from the opening of a Portal was entirely different¨Cit was purely the result of using the tremendous power of a Supreme Treasure to crush space into pervasive and scattered Void Fragments.


    But there were benefits to this as well, as it made it easier for Foundation Establishment Practitioners to perceive.


    After all, compared to a grain of sand, a piece of broken stone is certainly easier to find.


    Even so, those who could achieve this feat were among the creme de la creme of the cultivators at Foundation Establishment Completion.


    The last time the Portal opened, those who sensed the Power of Void were Xiahou Weihuan, Tao Mingqing, Lou Fengcheng, and others from the Jumang Academy during a Magic Duel, who were only second to Chen Mobai.


    After his Divine Sense left his body, Chen Mobai immediately used his extensive experience to detect the Void Fragments that had infiltrated the wooden hut.


    After perceiving the Void, the next step was to shatter these Void Fragments into the most primal Space Power and then use one¡¯s Divine Sense to reconstruct and create a Golden Core Domain unique to oneself.


    Having recalled these steps and the process in his mind, Chen Mobai began to attempt shattering the Void.


    He actually had some Void Stones in his Storage Bag, and if he could not achieve this step, he would use the Power of Void within those stones as a substitute and skip it outright.


    After all, when it comes to forming and condensing the Golden Core Domain, the Portal would be the one exerting the main effort.


    Establishing a Golden Core Domain is, in fact, a Rank-4 technique within the Immortal Gate, which is exceedingly difficult for these Foundation Establishment Practitioners to perform.


    As long as they can control the minimum requirements of Divine Sense to trigger the Void Power during this process, they can guide the power of this Immortal Sect¡¯s Treasure to help them in their condensation and creation.


    It was also for this day that Chen Mobai only condensed three spines of the All Laws Persona, preserving enough Void Stones.


    Quality steel should be used to make the blade¡¯s edge, and the same goes for Void Stones.


    However, Chen Mobai still wanted to try on his own first to see if he could rely on his own strength to shatter the Void Fragments and master sufficient Power of Void.


    He released his Divine Sense, at Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment, into the shape of a blooming Biyu Wutong phantom, extending branches to capture the Void Fragment closest to him inside the wooden hut.


    Then, using the method taught by the Portal Administration, he began to oscillate his Divine Sense at various frequencies.


    The Void, though mysterious, has its own frequency, and if Divine Sense can resonate with it, then at the moment of resonance, it will shatter it into the True Void.


    This ¡°Void Shattering Technique¡± was also a technique with a barrier in the Immortal Gate, downloadable only after the Portal Administration opened access permissions.


    However, even if ordinary cultivators acquired it, they could hardly ever master it.


    Because even the Void Fragments left from a shattered Portal might not be successfully shattered by even a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Completion, let alone the complete and unified Void of heaven and earth.


    After acquiring this Void Shattering Technique, Chen Mobai had pondered over it for a long time and knew it like the back of his hand. When he finally captured a Void Fragment, he fully exerted his Divine Sense, thinking it would be easy to accomplish.


    Unexpectedly, after stimulating his Divine Sense to oscillate, it took a full half hour to completely shatter the first Void Fragment into Void Power under his control.


    Moreover, after shattering this Void Fragment, Chen Mobai felt that his Divine Sense had been depleted by as much as thirty percent.


    Divine Sense is not like Spiritual Power which can be quickly restored using Spirit Stones, Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Water, and so forth.


    While the Immortal Gate does have some Elixirs that can restore Divine Sense, each one is exceedingly precious. The value of just pulling one out is probably not less than that of a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    Furthermore, such elixirs are rarely used; even a Golden Core Master, after expending Divine Sense, would rather meditate and recover slowly than consume an elixir.


    This is because there have been scholarly papers in the Immortal Gate stating that frequent consumption of Divine Sense-related Elixirs could affect the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, potentially leaving behind issues that make future breakthroughs more difficult with more solid bottlenecks.


    Which means that, with the capacity of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, he could, at most, shatter three Void Fragments in a day.


    And if his Divine Sense was fully spent, meditating for a day and a night would probably only restore about twenty to thirty percent at most.


    And this Portal would only stay open for a month.


    Within this month, whether one could perceive and capture enough Void Fragments, and then shatter them into controllable Space Power, was of utmost importance.


    Chen Mobai estimated that he could probably shatter about fifteen Void Fragments within this month.


    But would that be enough?


    He had once asked this question at the Portal Administration Office, but the teacher lecturing at that time told him to just go ahead and shatter, to condense, the more the better.


    For Foundation Establishment Practitioners, even for a Golden Core Master like Wen Ren Xuewei, the important thing was to put in their best effort in this task.


    Because in the history of the Immortal Sect, many who had successfully opened their Golden Core Domain had only just barely crossed that threshold.


    Chen Mobai was naturally not satisfied with this answer, but he also feared that asking too much might expose him.


    Fortunately, he now had a reference point.


    He drew the pure cluster of Space Power that he had shattered into existence before his eyes, then activated his All Laws Persona, carefully refining this Space Power into one of his silver, transparent vertebrae.


    After a long time, he opened his eyes, stood up with a look of relief on his face, and stretched lazily.


    This cluster of Space Power was approximately equivalent to one-seventh of a Void Stone.


    And he still had 23 pieces in his storage bag.


    Using about 13 pieces, along with pretending to shatter some Void Fragments, adding up to an equivalent of shattering a hundred pieces, should certainly trigger the Portal to open the Golden Core Domain.


    While planning this, Chen Mobai thought that shattering a hundred Void Fragments might be a bit too many?


    But he immediately recalled his persona within the Immortal Sect as someone with the Qualification of Deification, so such an accomplishment wouldn¡¯t seem exaggerated.


    It would serve to consolidate his persona while laying the groundwork, so that when he later formed his Golden Core without the help of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, this would be seen by the Immortal Sect as natural.


    Having settled his plans, Chen Mobai captured two more Void Fragments, and just as his Divine Sense was about to be exhausted, he barely managed to shatter them successfully, turning them into two small clusters of pure Space Power.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t sit and meditate tirelessly like others to recover his Divine Sense as much as possible.


    Instead, he directly took a pillow out of his storage bag, lit a Soothing Incense, and promptly fell asleep.


    He slept for three days and nights, and when he woke up, he felt his Divine Sense had mostly recovered.


    After yawning, Chen Mobai once again lazily captured Void Fragments.


    ¡­


    ¡°It should be about enough,¡± according to Senior Lan Haitian¡¯s words, ¡°he used Yuan Magnetic Force to shatter forty-nine Void Fragments, successfully summoning the Portal. But he felt that probably thirty-six clusters of Space Power would suffice to successfully open the Golden Core Domain.¡±

    Taishi Shu, feeling the thirty-eight clusters of Space Power under her control, showed a rare smile on her pale face.


    The Yuan Magnetic Force of the Six Dominions Scripture has an exceptional bonus for shattering the Void. Although she had only perfected one of the Six Dominions and was not as good as Lan Haitian who fused the two poles of Yuan Magnet, she was still far ahead of other cultivators of the same rank in the process.


    By Taishi Shu¡¯s estimation, her achievement, even compared with a Golden Core Master like Wen Ren Xuewei, wouldn¡¯t be too far off.


    After all, Lasting Spring Cultivation specializes in delaying time and prolonging life.


    ¡°Once I successfully open it and integrate the Golden Core Domain, I can take the Yuan Magnetic Force of the Six Dominions Scripture to the next level. Then I can look for Chen Mobai for a challenge and help the Kunpeng Daoist Institute regain its number one spot,¡± Taishi Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead, but in her heart, she had already envisioned the scene of her challenging and defeating Chen Mobai, and a sly smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips.

 Chapter 865 - Chapter 865 Chapter 485 The Chosen One

    Chapter 865: Chapter 485: The Chosen One Chapter 865: Chapter 485: The Chosen One Time flew by, and a month had passed.


    Elder Qingping, seated halfway up Gathering-Immortals Peak, was awakened by his alarm. After a long breath, he slowly opened his eyes. A stream of clear and lustrous immortal energy swirled between his seven orifices. As he concluded the Jade Purity Scripture, the energy vanished into his nostrils and mouth.


    Feeling the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Third Layer growing looser, a smile couldn¡¯t help but spread across Elder Qingping¡¯s face.


    Such is the advantage of a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein¨Coriginally, he thought it would take at least ten or more years to advance. Judging by his current progress, he estimated he could save half the time.


    If it weren¡¯t for the final step of opening the Golden Core Domain, which required his assistance, Elder Qingping truly wished to just sit halfway up Gathering-Immortals Peak.


    As he stood up to descend the mountain, Elder Qingping looked up at the peak.


    The Portal¡¯s core was up there¨Chopefully, it would need to be activated only once.


    With that thought, Elder Qingping had already reached the row of wooden houses at the foot of the mountain. The three Golden Core Masters who were in charge came over to greet him with a bow.


    ¡°How¡¯s everything?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s almost time¨Call is as usual.¡±


    It¡¯s good that there were no unexpected issues. Elder Qingping nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at his watch. There was exactly one minute left¨Che had timed it perfectly.


    ¡°That will do. Those who haven¡¯t felt the Power of Void can come out first.¡±


    As the time arrived, Chen Mobai inside the wooden house heard Elder Qingping¡¯s voice from outside. Sensing that his Divine Sense had returned to its peak state, he nodded to himself.


    Next came the final and most crucial step.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sigh, what exactly is this Power of Void?¡±


    ¡°I meditated in silence for a month and felt like I was just daydreaming.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Ninth Layer, emerging from the wooden houses, began to converse in small groups. Many shook their heads and sighed, unwilling to accept that they couldn¡¯t even pass the first hurdle.


    But the reality was right before their eyes, and despite their reluctance, they had to accept it.


    ¡°I thought my talent was unparalleled, and all I lacked were resources from the Scholarly Mansion of the Daoist Academy. However, the opening of the Portal has dealt me a harsh blow.¡±


    A Ninth Layer practicitioner, from an academic background, said with a face full of dejection, looking down as he turned to leave.


    ¡°Everyone, do not wander around the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. We will arrange for your departure after the results come out,¡± one of the Golden Core Masters from the Portal Management Bureau immediately called to him, stopping him, and then gathered everyone who came out of the wooden houses in front of him.


    ¡°Zuo Qiushi, even you didn¡¯t feel the Power of Void?¡±


    Among the line of people, those from Dance Tool Dao Academy naturally grouped together. One of them saw Zuo Qiushi and couldn¡¯t hide his surprise.


    After all, he had once been the top student of the academy and was nominally the most talented and powerful person during that time.


    ¡°I barely sensed it on the fourteenth day, but in the end, I only shattered six fragments. With such a result, there¡¯s no chance I can open a Golden Core Domain,¡± said Zuo Qiushi with a sigh and a shake of his head, indicating that he had fallen too far behind in the first step and chose not to waste time, exiting early instead.


    ¡°Chen, Zhong Li, and Sister Bian are all still inside; I wonder how much Power of Void they have condensed,¡± the people from Dance Tool Dao Academy checked and found that three people had not yet come out from the wooden houses, leading to various speculations.


    ¡°Sister Bian probably won¡¯t make it. There¡¯s a twenty to thirty percent chance for Zhong Li, but Chen¡­¡± Zuo Qiushi pondered for a moment and then voiced his thoughts.


    But despite his previous confidence in Chen Mobai, after experiencing the difficulty of sensing and shattering the Void firsthand, he dared not guarantee success.


    ¡°Chen has the Qualification of Deification; he should have about a sixty to seventy percent chance,¡± everyone agreed with Zuo Qiushi. Having personally experienced it, they all felt that opening a Golden Core Domain was incredibly difficult.


    The first challenge eliminated most of them, and only individuals like Zuo Qiushi could advance to the second challenge of shattering the Void.


    Thankfully, a Nascent Soul Superior would assist in the third challenge, using the Portal, a Supreme Treasure, as the lead. Otherwise, Foundation Establishment Practitioners at their Realm would have found it impossible.


    ¡°All others in the wooden houses, channel the Power of Void you control into the Portal. Those who meet the requirements for opening a Domain will be selected by the Portal,¡± said Elder Qingping, speaking once again.


    Everyone halted their discussions and looked up at the silvery gate that had torn a crack in the sky¡¯s Void.


    Then, they saw strands of silvery glow rise from the top of the wooden houses, stretching and disappearing into the blackness within the silver gate.


    Among them, many silvery threads were mere finger-length wisps that vanished soundlessly into the Portal.


    Others were one meter, two meters long.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    They streaked across the daytime sky like beams of silver light, flashing like a meteor shower, exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.


    Zuo Qiushi also saw a silver light illuminate from his own wooden house.


    That was the Power of Void he had shattered, but without his control, it transformed into a veil of silver mist, absorbed by the Portal and then disappearing.


    About a quarter of an hour later, most of the silver strands had entered the Portal without causing any noise or disturbance.


    The remaining seven or eight strands, however, formed complete filaments, linking the silver gate with the wooden houses, much like the string of a kite.

 Chapter 866 - Chapter 866 Chapter 485 The Chosen One_2

    Chapter 866: Chapter 485: The Chosen One_2 Chapter 866: Chapter 485: The Chosen One_2 ¡°Wen Ren Xuewei, Taishi Shu, Chen Mobai, Ling Daoshi, Zong Zi, Zhongli Tianyu, Tang Yinxia, Meng Shulong.¡±


    Soon, another Golden Core Master who had witnessed everyone entering the wooden hut spoke to Elder Qingping, listing the names of those still persevering.


    ¡°Not bad, the quality of this batch is much better than the last time I opened it when only three people were left at this point.¡±


    Elder Qingping glanced at the remaining silver filaments and couldn¡¯t help nodding in satisfaction.


    This signified that the future of the Immortal Gate was becoming stronger and stronger, and he felt quite relieved.


    ¡°I hope that in addition to Wen Ren Xuewei, there will be a second person who can open the Golden Core Domain.¡±


    The Golden Core Master who had listed everyone¡¯s names was Xue Yuzhu, the director of the Portal Management Bureau. He was present every time the portal opened and immediately noticed that the silver light filaments of three people had reached the end of their strength and would soon break and disappear.


    ¡°I think Taishi Shu will be successful. After all, she has cultivated the Yuan Magnetic Force of the Liu Yu Scripture.¡±


    Another Deputy Director of the Portal Management Bureau, Chen Chaohua, who graduated from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, spoke up naturally supporting his juniors.


    ¡°What about Chen Mobai from the Dance Tool Dao Academy? Isn¡¯t he the one with the biggest reputation?¡±


    Elder Qingping spoke up, having heard of this Qualification of Deification even though he also was informed.


    It¡¯s just a pity that there are no shortage of stunning talents in the history of the Immortal Gate, yet the ones who Ascend to become Immortals amount to fewer than one in ten.


    And he was just a mere Foundation Establishment Practitioner, so the higher-ups all maintained an attitude of wait and see regarding Chen Mobai.


    After all, according to common sense, he would have to wait another sixty years to be able to form his Core.


    In such a long time, he could very well become indistinguishable from the masses.


    ¡°That one is his, and it seems no less than Taishi Shu¡¯s.¡±


    Xue Yuzhu pointed at Chen Mobai¡¯s hut and, after observing carefully, couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    ¡°After all, he is a Qualification of Deification. At the very least, he should shatter about twenty Void Fragments.¡±


    Although Divine Consciousness Intensity varies from person to person, for Foundation Establishment Practitioners at the Ninth Layer, even if their talents are vastly different, the fluctuation would only be within a range of double at most.


    The limit for such practitioners is to be able to shatter about twenty or so Void Fragments.


    After Core Formation, due to the breakthrough to a higher great realm, Divine Consciousness will surge four to five times more, so basically all Golden Core Masters can pass this test.


    Of course, there are a very few exceptions who still fail to open the Golden Core Domain even after Core Formation. These are people with innately insufficient Divine Consciousness Intensity or whose constitution repels the Power of Void.


    On the flip side, those who pass this test in the Foundation Building Realm may have a constitution that is compatible with the Void, an extremely rare Void Spirit Body, or they may have extremely strong Divine Sense or have specifically cultivated a technique that targets space.


    The most famous of these is the Liu Yu Scripture.


    ¡°Only five people left.¡±


    As they conversed, three of the eight silver light filaments could no longer hold on and had lost their connection with the portal.


    Inside the wooden huts, Zong Zi, Tang Yinxia, and Meng Shulong sighed with a gloomy expression.


    ¡°Who would have thought that Zhongli Tianyu could hold on for so long?¡±


    The speaker was Bian Jingchun, who had also managed to condense only twelve lumps of Void Power. After failing, she felt no regret.


    She hadn¡¯t expected much of herself to begin with and quickly gathered her things, walked out of her wooden hut, and met up with Zuo Qiushi and the others.


    ¡°This is the end.¡±


    No sooner had Bian Jingchun spoken than Zuo Qiushi saw Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s silver filament flickering a few times, and then it too couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and lost its source, disappearing within the portal.


    About two minutes later, Zhongli Tianyu emerged, his face unwilling to accept defeat.


    He had cultivated a secret technique for powerful Divine Sense and had condensed a total of thirty lumps of Void Power, yet he still couldn¡¯t meet the minimum requirement to trigger the portal.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, you¡¯ve already done quite well.¡±


    Bian Jingchun saw the look on Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s face and consoled him like a big sister. He didn¡¯t say a word and looked up at the last three silver filaments remaining.


    Ling Daoshi had also failed and came out frowning, his face dark.


    He had collected all the literature and experience regarding the Power of Void from the Immortal Gate and had used the Guidance Book to create the most efficient persona for shattering the Void. He even prepared three elixirs to restore Divine Sense, yet still, he failed.


    Opening the Golden Core Domain, exactly how many lumps of Void Power are needed?


    As Ling Daoshi was speechless, Elder Qingping and the others also looked surprised.


    ¡°This¡­ if it were in the past, by relaxing the requirements a bit, they both could have been chosen by the portal.¡±


    Xue Yuzhu said regretfully. He had graduated from the Repairing Heaven Institute and earnestly hoped Ling Daoshi could succeed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But unfortunately, with the Cultivation Level of a Nascent Soul Superior, the most they could do is to assist two or three people in opening their Golden Core Domains simultaneously. Therefore, this test is actually a selection system.


    The more Void Power one condenses, the Cultivators who remain until the end are considered to have passed.


    This is also why no one can specify how much Void Power guarantees a pass, and the Portal Management Bureau doesn¡¯t make promises during lectures either.


    Because of the outstanding quality of all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners this time, even Zhongli Tianyu and Ling Daoshi, who could have barely made it, were eliminated.


    ¡°Wen Ren Xuewei has the foundation of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, so she is definitely fine. Taishi Shu has only cultivated the sun part of the Liu Yu Scripture, and I didn¡¯t expect her to be able to do this well. The Yuan Magnetic Force is indeed strong. And Chen Mobai, relying solely on his Divine Consciousness, can keep up with the other two. He truly lives up to his reputation as a Qualification of Deification.¡±

 Chapter 867 - Chapter 867 Chapter 485 The Chosen One_3

    Chapter 867: Chapter 485: The Chosen One_3 Chapter 867: Chapter 485: The Chosen One_3 ¡°`


    Watching the last three strands of light, as vibrant as new silver threads, Xue Yuzhu couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the old saying that the new waves of the Yangtze River push forward the old.


    ¡°Strange, why does it feel like Taishi Shu is about to give in?¡±


    At that moment, Elder Qingping was the first to spot the sign, and just as his words fell, one of the silver strands flickered and severed its link with the cabin, trailing a long tail as it was directly sucked into the Portal.


    The expressions of everyone present could not help but turn to shock.


    Although they knew Chen Mobai was very powerful in Magic Duels and deservedly the number one at Immortal Gate, they had not expected him to also excel in condensing the Power of Void, surpassing even Taishi Shu, who had cultivated the Yuan Magnetic Force.


    Is this what Qualification of Deification looks like?


    But what shocked them even more happened shortly after: two minutes later, the silver strand representing Wen Ren Xuewei also vanished.


    ¡°He actually¡­ outperformed a Golden Core Master!¡±


    Witnessing this scene, everyone¡¯s eyes widened, and they gasped in astonishment.


    Although the Lasting Spring Cultivation Technique specializes in life-extension and typically offers only modest enhancement to Divine Sense, this modesty is relative to other Divinity Transformation Techniques.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll was more or less on par with the Lasting Spring Cultivation Technique, so him outdoing Wen Ren Xuewei could only mean he possessed a Void Spirit Body, or was naturally endowed with a powerful Divine Sense!


    ¡°It seems like I¡¯m in for some effort this time.¡±


    Elder Qingping glanced at the last persistent strand of silver light and couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter smile.


    The final step of creating the Golden Core Domain involves the Portal drawing his Spiritual Power as fuel.


    This is also why usually only two or three people are selected at most, because even a Nascent Soul Superior could not sustain beyond that.


    ¡°Elder, Taishi Shu¡¯s performance would have been a definite selection in any other batch¡­¡±


    Chen Chaohua, a graduate of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, seeing the hesitation on Elder Qingping¡¯s face, knew he was contemplating eliminating Taishi Shu. Chen Chaohua gritted his teeth and spoke up for his junior.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. If Chen Mobai¡¯s Power of Void is not significant, I¡¯ll make an effort and also open up a Golden Core Domain for her.¡±


    Elder Qingping, known as the most accommodating among Nascent Soul Cultivators, after hearing this, planned to give Kunpeng Daoist Institute a favor.


    However, he was cautious by nature and did not immediately agree outright.


    Soon, he felt fortunate for his prudence.


    Because the Power of Void condensed by Chen Mobai was excessively abundant, even after eight minutes passed following Wen Ren Xuewei, he barely broke off.


    Just he alone was equivalent to two others.


    ¡°Please convey my apologies to the young one from Kunpeng Daoist Institute.¡±


    After contemplating, Elder Qingping had no choice but to eliminate Taishi Shu.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Chaohua, who had just recovered from the shock, nodded with a bitter smile in response.


    Confronted with someone like Chen Mobai, who had the Qualification of Deification, it could only be said that it was Taishi Shu¡¯s misfortune.


    Elder Qingping gestured a Seal Formula, and the Portal in the sky lit up with two silver beams, enveloping both Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Immediately, the three of them disappeared from the spot.


    ¡°This Portal opening has concluded.¡±

    ¡°The selected persons: Jumang Academy graduate Wen Ren Xuewei and Dance Tool Dao Academy graduate Chen Mobai!¡±


    ¡°The rest of you, please follow us and leave.¡±


    Inside the cabin, Taishi Shu listened to the voices coming from outside and sat there dumbfounded.


    Even now, she could hardly believe that she, who had condensed thirty-eight spheres of Space Power, was actually eliminated!

 Chapter 868 - Chapter 868 Chapter 486 Establishing a Domain

    Chapter 868: Chapter 486: Establishing a Domain Chapter 868: Chapter 486: Establishing a Domain Chen Mobai only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and by the time he regained his senses, he had already arrived halfway up the mountain.


    ¡°The Portal is up there. You two recover your Essence, Qi, and Spirit here while I go open it.¡±


    After Elder Qing Ping finished speaking, he bowed respectfully in the direction of the mountaintop before making his way up step by step.


    Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei looked towards where he indicated and saw a tall and ancient stone gate standing at the summit of Gathering-Immortals Peak. It seemed to suppress the mountains and the universe, exuding a sense of time-worn grandeur.


    No decorative patterns adorned the gate, which now stood slightly ajar, emitting a continuous stream of silver radiance that illuminated the broad and sturdy steps in front of the gate, imbued with an air of the passage of time and historical sediment.


    This was none other than the Immortal Gate¡¯s number one Supreme Treasure, the Portal!


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes landed on the actual body of the Portal, he felt the Turtle Treasure continuously popping up reminders. He could only silently reach into his pocket and shut off his phone.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to actually be able to surpass Taishi Shu.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei looked at Chen Mobai with a slight surprise. With the undying trait of her Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had leveraged the process of Core Formation, perfectly transforming and ascending her Essence, Qi, and Spirit after countless trials and errors, resulting in a fivefold increase in her Divine Sense.


    It was precisely because of this that after her Core Formation, she immediately applied to create her Golden Core Domain.


    ¡°How many strands of Dao Void Force did you shatter?¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a slight smile. There was no need to maintain a proud facade in front of his friend Wen Ren Xuewei, and he began to converse in a friendly manner.


    ¡°Sixty-six strands. How about you?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei did not conceal the truth and simply replied.


    ¡°Roughly the same.¡±


    After hearing her answer, Chen Mobai felt that having manipulated a hundred strands of Dao Void Force seemed excessive, but he dared not say it outright and simply laughed it off.


    ¡°Who should go in first once it¡¯s opened?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei didn¡¯t press further, as establishing a Golden Core Domain required entering the Portal¡¯s interior and using the power of this Supreme Treasure to condense a Void akin to a miniature world.


    ¡°Either is fine.¡±


    ¡°Then you go first. I have a bit more Dao Void Force, so it might take me longer to open my domain.¡±


    Hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression was inexplicable, but he didn¡¯t say anything and nodded in agreement.


    Afterward, the two discussed further matters relating to cultivation.


    Chen Mobai mainly sought advice on matters concerning Core Formation. Wen Ren Xuewei could be said to have the deepest understanding of this process within the Immortal Gate, as unlike other cultivators, she could afford to fail countless times to figure it out.


    ¡°Those are the details you¡¯ll need to pay attention to.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei talked about some of the reasons for her failures during the Core Formation process, which made Chen Mobai nod repeatedly.


    These were pitfalls he could avoid in advance.


    Subsequently, they each found a patch of grass to sit down on and began to meditate to restore their spent Essence, Qi, and Spirit from shattering the Void.


    This place truly deserved to be recognized as a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein, as Chen Mobai felt as though he was sitting atop a pile of Spirit Stones, with streams of pure and intensely rich Spiritual Energy burrowing into his pores. In just half a day, the Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea was overflowing.


    Here, he dared not employ the Returning Essence Secret Technique and could only stop running the Pure Yang Scroll, slowly opening his eyes.


    On the other hand, the aura of Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s cultivation was even more grand. The thick Spiritual Energy around her almost materialized into tangible layers of rainbow light, accentuating her porcelain-white skin, making her seem like a divine maiden from the legends.


    In his boredom, Chen Mobai could only watch her cultivate.


    A day later, Wen Ren Xuewei had also returned to her peak condition. She opened her bright and lustrous eyes, her entire demeanor ethereal and serenely elegant as if she was a fairy.


    ¡°Both of you, come up here.¡±


    They exchanged a glance but before they could speak, Elder Qingping¡¯s voice reached them from the mountaintop.


    Not daring to delay, they followed the steps he had previously taken and arrived at the foot of the Portal.


    From halfway up the mountain, the stone gate appeared very tall and ancient. Upon closer approach, they found it to be even more imposing. Standing before the gate, they felt as insignificant as stones at the base of a mountain, overwhelmed by their own smallness.


    ¡°Wen Ren Xuewei, you go in first. The Dao Void Force you condensed is less, so I can take it a bit easier. I¡¯ll increase the intensity for the second round.¡±


    Just as Wen Ren Xuewei was about to modestly defer in front of Elder Qingping, she heard him say something that made her mouth gape open in disbelief.


    ¡°I¡­ have less?¡±


    She pointed to herself with her finger, her eyes widened in incredulity.


    When they had condensed the Dao Void Force into silver threads to connect to the Portal, they were inside a wooden hut and hadn¡¯t seen the scene outside.

    Later, as they were directly brought here by Elder Qingping, they never had the chance to communicate with their own Daoist Academy; hence Wen Ren Xuewei had made quite an amusing blunder.


    After receiving confirmation from Elder Qingping¡¯s nod.


    Wen Ren Xuewei also realized the truth and couldn¡¯t help but blush, looking at the handsome youth beside her with a hint of astonishment flickering in her eyes.


    At the same time, she recalled the conversation they had earlier, and a wave of embarrassment flooded her heart.


    She had thought that, being his senior and a school elder sister, she should generously give way to her junior.

 Chapter 869 - Chapter 869 Chapter 486 Establishing a Domain_2

    Chapter 869: Chapter 486: Establishing a Domain_2 Chapter 869: Chapter 486: Establishing a Domain_2 ¡°Then I¡¯ll go in first.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei lowered her head, paid her respects to Elder Qingping, her cheeks slightly flushed as she turned and stepped into the portal.


    As soon as she approached the portal, the silver radiance enveloped her, and then she disappeared from where she was.


    ¡°I will assist her in her cultivation; you may move freely around the portal and the area below the mountain, but do not cross the portal. Beyond it is the cultivation ground of the Ancestor; do not disturb him,¡± Elder Qingping warned Chen Mobai, before taking his place in front of the portal, with his hands clasped before his chest, as a clear stream of Immortal Qi emanated from his nostrils and mouth. Like clouds or mists, it diffused quickly, surrounding half of the mountaintop where the portal was located.


    In that instant, the stone portal, which was flickering with silver luminescence, exploded with a formidable might that even made Chen Mobai tremble with awe.


    He felt as if what corresponded to thousands upon thousands of Void Fragments was crushed by the portal into the purest Space Power in an instant, which then converged and circulated within.


    ¡°Is this the opening of the Golden Core Domain!?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who could perceive the Void, finally understood why this secret technique was ranked at the fourth order among the Immortal Gates after seeing Elder Qingping activate the portal.


    Without the supreme treasure of the portal and a Nascent Soul Superior as the source of Spiritual Power, Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Practitioners simply couldn¡¯t manage to open a domain in the Void.


    After all, it was akin to opening a whole minor universe.


    It was said that this Immortal Technique was originally derived by the Leading Star Ancestor of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute from an ancient text from beyond this world; initially, it could only be mastered by Huashen Ancestors.


    However, under the pressure of a certain war, the top talents of Di Yuan Star converged and simplified this Immortal Technique, so with the aid of the portal, even Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Practitioners could cultivate their minor realms.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, that ancient text was named ¡°Universe,¡± reportedly containing the secrets of space, domains, and the cosmos itself, understandable only to those with a Void Spiritual Body.


    Heavenly Book Academy held the original, while the Kunpeng Daoist Institute had a copied version.


    If he ever got the chance, he would have to go there and take a look.


    As Chen Mobai thought to himself, besides the Seven Great Transcendent Divine Arts, the Immortal Gate also possessed seven volumes of Tian Shu, each filled with various profound and mysterious techniques and arts, endowed with exceptional Daoist charm. Talents like Qing Shi and Qing Jing had comprehended the secret ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± technique from one of those volumes.


    It was one of the most precious troves of knowledge within the Immortal Gate!


    The original copies of these seven volumes of Tian Shu were carefully preserved within Heavenly Book Academy, their main purpose being to gather talents to study and decipher the contents of Tian Shu.


    Within the Immortal Gate, Golden Core Cultivators with enough merit points could also apply through the national library software for the opportunity to comprehend the original texts at Heavenly Book Academy.


    However, most who went to comprehend were those who had hit a bottleneck above the Golden Core Realm, hoping that Tian Shu might reveal a secret technique suitable for their breakthrough.


    Chen Mobai had not even considered this.


    He was aware of the difficulty he had with comprehension; mastering the Guidance Book had been challenging enough, let alone Tian Shu, which even Nascent Soul Superiors struggled with.


    He decided to rely steadfastly on the resources of the Tianhe Realm and leverage his Realm to overwhelm others.


    He did not believe that once he Ascended to become Immortal, he would still be unable to understand Tian Shu.


    With this firm resolve, Chen Mobai continued to observe the portal for two more days. However, the Spiritual Qi and Immortal Light from Elder Qingping on the mountaintop became denser, filling the entire peak and midair.


    He could only barely make out the outline of the portal now.


    He wondered how long this process would take?


    Although Elder Qingping had said that he was free to move as long as he did not cross the portal, Chen Mobai, being a cautious man, chose to wait right there.


    After all, this was the cultivation ground of the Leading Star Ancestor, and with the many secrets he harbored, it was better not to court any further complications.


    After a full seven days and nights, the Jade Pure Immortal Qi enveloping the portal and the sky began to thin, revealing Elder Qingping, looking slightly pale.


    About two minutes later, a green, graceful figure emerged before the portal, along with the shimmer of silver light¨C


    Bright eyes and white teeth, brows gentle, eyes soft!


    It was Wen Ren Xuewei, who had successfully cultivated the Golden Core Domain.


    Seemingly overjoyed, she waved her hand, and the Wood Spiritual Talisman around her snow-white neck vanished into thin air.


    Then, with a flicker of silver light, the Wood Spiritual Talisman reappeared in the palm of her hand.


    Amusing herself with the sheer storage functionality, she seemed to delight in it.


    Chen Mobai just felt she was somewhat childlike, recalling that Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Tianhe Realm typically had several Storage Bags each, lamenting again how scarce good items were on this side of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I will rest and meditate for three days,¡± Elder Qingping said, then closed his eyes, sitting before the portal as Sixth-Order Spiritual Energy surged toward him like a dragon, which he inhaled with a single breath.


    Chen Mobai was in awe of such efficiency in Refining Spiritual Qi.


    ¡°What¡¯s it like inside?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Wen Ren Xuewei who was still toying with the storage function of the Golden Core Domain.


    ¡°It just feels like emptiness, and then countless Space Powers converge into the palm of my hand, and according to my own will, I kneaded out my own domain,¡± she said.


    Although this process was about establishing the core, it was actually the portal taking the lead, while Elder Qingping provided the source of Spiritual Power.


    After all, opening up the Void is a bit of a high-end power for them, Foundation Establishment Practitioners and Golden Core Cultivators.


    ¡°Think of it as if you had a dream where you became the creator of heaven and earth,¡± she said with a smile.


    Three days quickly passed, and once Elder Qingping had recovered his Spiritual Power, he gestured to Chen Mobai that it was his turn to enter; Wen Ren Xuewei once again shared her insights and experience.


    In a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai found himself in a mysterious Void, an endless expanse of nothingness.


    Without any rules or boundaries, he seemed to become a phantom symbol, not knowing whether he was floating or standing, or even whether he could feel his physical body¡¯s existence.


    Lacking sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, Chen Mobai was like a vegetative being, devoid of the five senses, unable to determine where he was.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for his trust in the Immortal Gate, the profound darkness alone would have been enough to instill fear in any Cultivator.


    ¡°Imagine what kind of minor world you need, one that belongs solely to you, a new world where all functions serve only you,¡± he was told.


    At that moment, Elder Qingping¡¯s words echoed in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    Play the creator!


    Chen Mobai thought of Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words and suddenly came to a realization.


    So, that was it.


    He said, ¡°Let there be light!¡±


    And then, within the vast darkness, the first ray of light appeared, and his vision returned.


    With the light as a contrast, the darkness around him seemed even deeper and more serene, but it made him feel more uneasy.


    It was like there were unknown entities lurking in the darkness, fraught with countless dangers.


    It was the awe that comes with the mysterious due to the unknown.


    Therefore, he needed more, brighter light!


    A great sun appeared in the palm of his hand.


    With light, he also needed air, water, soil, and more.


    A vivid image emerged in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    It was the Biyu Wutong in Red Sandstone City that shaded the sun and sky!


    He wanted a plant like that, perfectly suited to survive in this domain with water and air.


    Unfortunately, this newly opened domain was unable to generate living beings.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s idea had failed.


    Then let¡¯s try something else.


    He wanted to form a core!


    Again, there was no response.


    After several attempts, Chen Mobai felt familiar clusters of Void Power flying out from the darkness, merging into the newly born domain in the palm of his hand.


    This was the power he had previously drawn from the Void Stone in the wooden hut; now it was returning to its rightful owner.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As each cluster of Void Power flew out, it would catalyze a hundredfold of the Space Power within the domain to merge into Chen Mobai¡¯s domain.


    So, this was the purpose of the second trial.


    Chen Mobai had an epiphany, and at this moment, the domain in his palm was expanding inch by inch; in the blink of an eye, it grew from a diameter of twenty centimeters to the scale of half a meter.


    He was like holding an orb planetarium, observing.


    [At the very beginning, was Di Yuan Star also like this?]


    For some reason, this thought suddenly came to Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.

 Chapter 870 - Chapter 870 Chapter 488 Void Blind Box

    Chapter 870: Chapter 488: Void Blind Box Chapter 870: Chapter 488: Void Blind Box After the Domain was successfully created, Chen Mobai felt the surging Power of the Void in the surrounding darkness, as if it were boundless, and he couldn¡¯t help but swallow.


    He was tempted to absorb these into his All Laws Persona, completing the condensing of the remaining vertebrae, but then he thought of Elder Qingping outside. If he were to absorb them, it would surely be noticed.


    The prudent Chen Mobai ultimately gave up on this tempting idea.


    He decided to go to the Tianhe Realm and gather more Void Stones. After all, the Divine Wood Sect had a mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge, and once he achieved Core Formation, he would be able to take what he wanted.


    ¡°You should come out now; I can hardly hold on any longer.¡±


    At this moment, Elder Qingping¡¯s voice came from outside. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare delay and immediately closed his Golden Core Domain and left the place.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder.¡±


    Chen Mobai stepped out of the Portal and saw Elder Qingping, pale and exhausted, sitting on the steps. He immediately went to thank him.


    ¡°If I had known I was getting a freak like you, I would have waited for the next activation of the Portal to come here.¡±


    Elder Qingping initially thought he could easily complete the task, but it was made much more difficult by Chen Mobai¡¯s use of a hundred strands of Dao Void Force.


    If it weren¡¯t for his bit of foundation, he might indeed have made a fool of himself.


    Even so, in the end, Elder Qingping felt his Spiritual Power was running low. If it continued like this, the Portal would start drawing from his essence as fuel, so he signaled his need.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai was considerate. Hearing the hint, he promptly exited.


    ¡°Elder, may I add your contact information?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Elder Qingping nodded at Chen Mobai¡¯s request without hesitation.


    Having personally experienced his talent, he felt that even if Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t achieve Divinity Transformation, becoming his equal in the same Realm was still very likely.


    ¡°Everyone else has been taken down the mountain by Xue Yuzhu and others. Just mention it to the property management when you two head down; I¡¯ve already taken care of it in advance.¡±


    After adding Elder Qingping¡¯s contact information, Chen Mobai and Ren Xuewei thanked him again before heading down the mountain.


    ¡°Behind the Portal lies the retreat of Leading Star Ancestor. I wonder if I¡¯ll ever witness the Realm of Turning into a God in my lifetime.¡±


    As they left, Ren Xuewei gave the Portal another glance and uttered words that caught Chen Mobai¡¯s attention.


    However, thinking about the characteristics of her Lasting Spring Cultivation, he felt she had the right to say so.


    At the very least, achieving ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her, but whether she could achieve the Realm of Turning into a God would depend on fate.


    Sometimes, if one can¡¯t get past a barrier, they simply can¡¯t get past it, regardless of lifespan. It¡¯s purely a matter of varying talent, which can shackle a cultivator¡¯s potential.


    Ren Xuewei was among the top tier of her generation in the Immortal Gate. While she didn¡¯t have the reputation of Chen Mobai, she was the most likely to achieve Divinity Transformation after the Dual Sages.


    But even so, she was only really confident of achieving ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll definitely make it.¡±


    Walking down the mountain with her, Chen Mobai responded to her words without hesitation.


    ¡°Oh, why¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°You are the only one in the Immortal Gate who can match me at the same level. If I have the Qualification of Deification, naturally, so do you. When I reach the peak, don¡¯t fall behind. I don¡¯t want to be without a contemporary when I die passing away in meditation.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Ren Xuewei smile, and what was a somewhat melancholy mood became cheerful in an instant.


    ¡°No wonder Qing Women likes you; you really have a way with words.¡±


    ¡°Qing Women and I are good friends¡­¡±


    Speaking of Qing Women, Chen Mobai recalled that it had also been some time since they last contacted each other. Although they saw less of each other after graduation, they still called once a year, and their pure friendship had grown even more sincere and precious over time.


    ¡°She¡¯s been investigating some very secretive matters within the Sky-Mending Group. Someone from the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect hinted to our Daoist Academy that she should back off. After talking to her once, she¡¯s become more restrained. When you see her, also convey this gently to her; there are some things one must not probe into.¡±


    Ren Xuewei seemed to deliberately steer the conversation towards Qing Women.


    Chen Mobai sighed as he remembered the offhand remarks she made when he completed the Formless Puppet, and thanked her.


    ¡°I understand, thank you. I will talk to her about it.¡±


    If it were anyone else, Chen Mobai would have refused, or even stopped contacting them altogether to avoid trouble.


    But this was Qing Women, one of his best friends.

    ¡°By the way, in which direction do you plan to develop your Golden Core Domain?¡±


    After the reminder about Qing Women, Ren Xuewei turned the conversation back, smiling. She extended her right hand, her pale, delicate fingertips shimmering with silver light, and a green orb about the size of her neck appeared.


    ¡°I¡¯m planning to develop a tea garden. I¡¯ll first transplant a graft-cultivated Enlightenment White Tea into it. Once the Domain is suitable, I¡¯ll slowly evolve it towards a serene Minor Realm¡­¡±


    A Domain is essentially the embryo of a minor world.


    It can store objects and sustain life, but its rules and substances need to be added slowly. With the Immortal Gate¡¯s limited resources, it generally serves as a portable Cave Dwelling.

 Chapter 871 - Chapter 871 Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_2

    Chapter 871: Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_2 Chapter 871: Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_2 Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s aspirations to develop a tea garden already demonstrated ambition.


    After all, expanding a domain tends to delay one¡¯s own cultivation progress.


    Moreover, the Power of Void is also regulated by the Immortal Gate, and cultivators are not allowed to shatter the Void at will. However, once one has formed the Gold Core Domain, it signifies that one has the right to purchase. One could then place an order on the Immortal Gate Network.


    At that time, the Immortal Gate will send over a delivery containing the sealed Void Fragments. One has to slowly use their Divine Sense to shatter them into pure Power of Void and merge it into their domain to expand it.


    ¡°I might plan to set up my own cave dwelling, planting a couple of Spirit Trees within the domain to anchor the Spiritual Energy. If I should die a natural death one day, I¡¯ll leave it to my descendants as a family heirloom.¡±


    A domain, this type of small world, although opened within the Immortal Gate, is permitted to be passed down for three generations.


    After three generations, these domains will be reclaimed by the Immortal Gate. Some that have fallen into disrepair due to a lack of maintenance by a Golden Core Master¡¯s Spiritual Power will be shattered and turned into the sustenance for the construction of Portals, a Supreme Treasure.


    However, if the Immortal Gate judges that you have managed your domain very well, then by paying a continuation fee, the domain could possibly be passed down indefinitely.


    The medicinal domains of the Four Great Daoist Sects came about in this way.


    With thousands of years of heritage, nearly half of the Thousand-Year Spirit Medicines used by the Immortal Gate were cultivated.


    Beyond the Daoist Academies, naturally there are also such ever-enduring domains owned by Divinity Transformation Clans like Zhong Li¡¯s.


    This is also an unspoken rule tacitly accepted by the Immortal Gate: as long as a Golden Core Master exists within three generations, the domain won¡¯t be reclaimed.


    Hence, on Di Yuan Star, many precious things are found among the common folk.


    But all this belongs to the circle of Golden Core and above. Now that Chen Mobai has acquired his own domain, he too can penetrate this circle.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite good. Oh, by the way, this month the Immortal Gate Network will release two Void Blind Boxes. If you¡¯re interested, you might want to try and grab one.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts on the cave dwelling, Wen Ren Xuewei nodded in admiration, then she mentioned a term that astonished Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What is a Void Blind Box?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s those domains that were closed off after losing the upkeep of a Golden Core Master¡¯s Spiritual Power. Only those truly beyond redemption are shattered by the Portal Administration Office, but many more are stored away. If someone wishes to upgrade their own domain, they can shatter these and integrate the Power of Void into themselves, and it¡¯s possible to find good things inside these stored domains, such as Thousand-Year Spirit Medicines or Spirit Stone Magic Artifacts, so they¡¯re referred to as Void Blind Boxes.¡±


    Following Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    This was a great way to launder resources in the Tianhe Realm! In the future, one could say whatever they found came from a Void Blind Box, whether believable or not, there would be a source.


    Once Chen Mobai achieved Core Formation, he guessed that peers of his level in the Immortal Gate would probably not care about this issue.


    ¡°How much does a Void Blind Box cost?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re a bit pricey, a hundred million Good Deed Points each!¡±


    Upon hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in shock.


    That was not just a bit pricey, it was extremely expensive.


    Wen Ren Xuewei: ¡°After all, there¡¯s a chance to uncover the entire fortune of a Golden Core Master, and sometimes, if you¡¯re lucky, it¡¯s profitable.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°But that¡¯s a hundred million.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei: ¡°To a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, it is indeed a lot. But for a Golden Core Master, if you take on a Rank-3 profession on the side, your annual income will be at least several million Good Deed Points, so the hundred million isn¡¯t really that much. Moreover, the supply of Void Blind Boxes is limited and sometimes they even sell out before you can get to them.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be amazed at the ingenious revenue-generating strategy of the person who came up with this.


    Not only does it save the Portal Administration Office the hard work of smashing domains, but it also yields a massive amount of Good Deed Points. This person is truly talented.


    However, even with this knowledge, Chen Mobai still planned to get a Void Blind Box in the future.


    ¡°My purse is a little light at the moment, maybe I¡¯ll consider it in a few years.¡±


    Based on the performance of his two talisman factories, he estimated he¡¯d be able to save up a hundred million in about seven or eight years.


    However, it would be best to wait until he¡¯s achieved Core Formation before addressing this matter.


    By then, even if the items he takes out are a bit preposterous, at least with his status as a Golden Core Master, he should be able to cover it up.


    Chen Mobai then proceeded to discuss matters regarding tea trees with Wen Ren Xuewei. She certainly was an expert, speaking animatedly on the subject, touching upon the habits of different tea trees to the tools used for brewing. The conversation flowed without repeating a thing.


    ¡°How about I gift you a grafted Enlightenment White Tea sapling? If you follow the method I described and plant it in your domain, in thirty years it¡¯s guaranteed to produce Rank-3 tea leaves.¡±


    The Enlightenment Tea was a variant developed by Wen Ren Xuewei through grafting from the Great Chun Tree. It had a minor reputation in the Immortal Gate, and consuming it regularly was beneficial for Divine Sense and Enlightenment.


    ¡°Really? That would be amazing, thank you so much.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had tasted the Snow Needle Immortal Bud and knew the benefits of Rank-3 tea leaves. He was in the process of expanding his tea garden on Xiao Nanshan, and with Enlightenment White Tea, he anticipated an abundance of tea leaves in the future.


    ¡°Thirty years is the most ideal scenario; you will need to transplant Rank-3 Spirit Soil in your domain and constantly irrigate with specially refined Spiritual Water. Nurturing a tea tree is like raising a child, very delicate at the beginning.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai so interested, Wen Ren Xuewei decided to set his expectations right from the start.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I love farming.¡±


    Chen Mobai was unperturbed. With Zhuo Ming at his side, there was nothing she couldn¡¯t grow successfully.

 Chapter 872 - Chapter 872 Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_3

    Chapter 872: Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_3 Chapter 872: Chapter 488 Void Blind Box_3 As for resources like Spirit Soil and Spiritual Water, those are hardly an issue in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Alright, once I get back I¡¯ll pack one for you, just leave me an address.¡±


    As they spoke, the two had already descended the mountain. After Wen Ren Xuewei took note of Chen Mobai¡¯s express information, she waved at him with a smile and turned to leave.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was stopped by Zhongli Tianyu, who was waiting at the bottom of the mountain, saying that Zhongli Yue had prepared a meal and wanted him to stay for dinner.


    A Golden Core Master cooking in person was a special treatment that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to decline.


    After the meal, he was also persuaded to stay the night.


    The next day, Chen Mobai left the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    He had initially planned to go straight home, but Meng Huang stopped him.


    Furthermore, recently, he had dominated the top trending search for a whole month because he had successfully created his Golden Core Domain, drawing lots of attention with burning gazes whenever he walked down the streets.


    With no other choice, Chen Mobai had to first head over to the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s office to lay low for a while.


    ¡°Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen. You really didn¡¯t let me down,¡± Sun Daoji laughed heartily as he saw him walk in.


    Bian Jingchun, Zuo Qiushi, and the others had already left. As Immortal Gate officials, they had taken leave to come here, and now that they hadn¡¯t succeeded, they naturally had to go back and make up for the lost time at work.


    [I knew it¡­ he would definitely succeed¡­]


    Before Chen Mobai arrived, Sun Daoji was watching a variety show on TV, where Nie Wenzhen, his face flushed with redness, continued to go against his own heart, praising Chen Mobai.


    The guests below, for the most part, echoed sincerely, making Nie Wenzhen¡¯s face even redder. Yet, unable to expose his own facade, he could only grit his teeth and keep up his iron-fan appearance.


    Keep praising, go on, he was even close to proclaiming Chen Mobai the most talented individual in the history of the Immortal Gate.


    [It¡¯s a pity that even he will have to wait sixty years to get the Golden Liquid Jade Pill. I think the Immortal Gate¡¯s system is a bit outdated. Shouldn¡¯t they make an exception just for him¡­]


    In the end, however, Nie Wenzhen once again revealed his true colors as a detractor with a remark that caused quite an uproar.


    ¡°This guy, he sure knows how to play the game of killing with kindness.¡±


    When Sun Daoji heard this, he knew the purpose behind Nie Wenzhen¡¯s words¨Cthat the Immortal Gate would definitely not change the rules for a single individual.


    But by saying this, it could turn a lot of Foundation Establishment Practitioners against Chen Mobai.


    Because the issue isn¡¯t scarcity; it¡¯s about fairness.


    Not everyone has the ability to think independently, and they might be swayed by the rhetoric, fearing that the Immortal Gate might actually make an exception for Chen Mobai.


    If everyone has to wait, then there¡¯s no complaint, but if someone suddenly cuts in line, it would upset everyone.


    Just as expected, this caused an intense online debate where some cultivators, thinking themselves talented, saw Chen Mobai as an opportunity to overturn the sixty-year old rule, and started adding fuel to the fire.


    For a while, Chen Mobai¡¯s name was even hotter than all the celebrities.


    ¡°Now you¡¯re the real superstar,¡± Meng Huang said jestingly as she took off her sunglasses and hat, having just entered the private room of the hotel.


    ¡°So, did you get your Barrier Breaking Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and pulled her into his embrace as she sat down close to him. Feeling her delicate and exquisite body and her slender, smooth legs resting upon his own, he couldn¡¯t help but recall their attempt before creating the Golden Core Domain.

    Back then, time was of the essence, and they hadn¡¯t thoroughly experienced it, but things were different now.


    He had plenty of time.


    ¡°Yes, I got it. I was thinking of asking for your guidance on how to take the Broken Mirror.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s pretty face turned a shade of crimson and, with awkward movements, she took out a paper box from her bag.


    Upon opening it, there lay a Big Barrier Breaking Pill.

 Chapter 873 - Chapter 873 Chapter 488 Domain Pill Concoction Complete

    Chapter 873: Chapter 488 Domain, Pill Concoction Complete Chapter 873: Chapter 488 Domain, Pill Concoction Complete Under the meticulous guidance of Chen Mobai, Meng Huang finally broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Foundation Establishment.


    Of course, the main credit goes to the Big Barrier Breaking Pill.


    Although resources in the Immortal Gate are scarce, the elixirs that have been preserved in such an environment are the best of their kind.


    However, Meng Huang was really only in such a hurry to help Chen Mobai, otherwise she definitely wouldn¡¯t have wasted so many Good Deed Points.


    After all, within the Immortal Gate, she had a full sixty years to reach the Completion of the Foundation Establishment.


    But no matter what, a breakthrough in cultivation level is always a cause for celebration.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai celebrated this occasion with her properly.


    It was also a good opportunity to familiarise themselves with the correct steps of Dual Cultivation; since both of them could lock their Original Yin and Yuan Yang, they could take turns and fully enjoy it.


    Without any disturbances, the two began this very special method of cultivation.


    Of course, Chen Mobai¡¯s main purpose was still to help Meng Huang consolidate the realm she had just broken through to.


    Since she had broken through with the aid of an elixir, her foundation was unstable; without his experienced hands-on guidance to compensate, she might have fallen back.


    A single Big Barrier Breaking Pill cost thirty million, and Chen Mobai certainly did not have so many Good Deed Points to buy a second one for her in the short term.


    Better to put in the hard work himself.


    After Chen Mobai disappeared from the public eye, the fervor around his opening of the Golden Core Domain did not die down but instead strangely surged higher.


    Mainly, it was Nie Wenzhen¡¯s suggestion that caused an uproar that took everyone by surprise, with many talents of the Foundation Establishment from the Four Great Daoist Sects wanting to take this opportunity to change the system of the Immortal Gate.


    They believed that talents should be privileged and, in the situation of a resource shortage, resources should be concentrated and provided to those more likely to break through.


    These individuals, graduates of the Daoist Academy, already had a considerable fan base, and some were even civil servants occupying many key positions within the Immortal Gate; once they banded together to speak up, they naturally had considerable influence.


    However, conversely, there was also enormous opposition from the public.


    The two sides engaged in intense debates online, and during this time all the news programs were riding on the popularity of this issue, further fueling the controversy.


    Within the Immortal Gate, most people were rational and enlightened, so the more these elite geniuses from the Daoist Academies argued, the more they found themselves loathed by the public.


    Seeing that the momentum was not in their favor, quite a few people wanted to contact Chen Mobai, hoping he would personally intervene and help their cause.


    As the current number one individual in Foundation Establishment within the Immortal Gate and the face of the two great powers of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Repairing Heaven Institute, if he took action, perhaps the situation could be salvaged.


    But no one could get in touch with him.


    Those with vast Divine Skills investigated the Immortal Gate¡¯s transportation system and discovered that there were no records of Chen Mobai leaving Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Some paparazzi also found Chen Mobai¡¯s hotel check-in records but discovered that he had checked out three days after the opening of his Golden Core Domain.


    Did he fly back on his own?


    Or is he renting a place in secret at Wangwu Cave Heaven?


    [After investigation, Nie Wenzhen has long violated the rules and regulations of our television station, collecting valuable items from fans of artists appearing on the show, with deplorable character, causing bad influence. As of today, he will not serve as our host anymore, and this is hereby announced to the public.]


    That day, Chen Mobai saw a news flash on the TV and couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised.


    ¡°This guy, in trying to draw hatred your way, said things he shouldn¡¯t have, and he¡¯s pretty much ruined his second half of his life.¡±


    Meng Huang, who had just washed her hair and came out of the bathroom, spoke of some insider circle issues after seeing the news.


    In addition to being fired by the television station, Nie Wenzhen, due to inciting public anger, was also blacklisted by the big players who manage the entertainment circle within the Immortal Gate, and from now on, no one in the circle dares to invite him to shows.


    ¡°Anyway, we won¡¯t see him on the screen anymore.¡±


    As she spoke, Meng Huang, wearing only a bathrobe, naturally sat down beside Chen Mobai, asking for his help to dry her hair.


    Even though using the Cleaning Technique would instantly finish the job, she insisted on doing it this way, slowly.


    Chen Mobai did not understand, but it seemed that female cultivators were all like this; his two disciples also liked to go to the hot springs in Dishi Mountain to bathe after planting and fertilizing.


    Still, he efficiently activated his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, transforming it into a warm breeze that meticulously helped dry Meng Huang¡¯s wet hair.


    This was the apartment that Meng Huang bought at Wangwu Cave Heaven, considering that she would be staying here for sixty years, so she purchased it right after graduation.


    It¡¯s also for this reason why she didn¡¯t have enough Good Deed Points to buy the Big Barrier Breaking Pill.


    Chen Mobai had been in seclusion here for half a year.


    In addition to guiding Meng Huang in cultivation, he was mainly perfecting his control of the newly opened Golden Core Domain.


    He can now download Daoist Scriptures on domains from the Immortal Gate National Library.


    The origin of these scriptures all comes from the Tian Shu ¡°Universe.¡±


    These accounts of experiences and insights have been formed by countless cultivators over thousands of years exploring Tian Shu and opening domains.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In Tianhe Realm, this would be a sect¡¯s prized secret script passed down by the older generation before death.


    But here in the Immortal Gate, it¡¯s available for Chen Mobai to download and view at will.


    He had already immersed himself in this ocean of knowledge.


    Gradually, he moved from being half-knowledgeable about the Golden Core Domain to becoming proficient and skilled.


    Thanks to the robust foundation of his Power of Void, the domain he opened was nearly twice as large as Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s.

 Chapter 874 - Chapter 874 Chapter 488 Domain the Pill is Formed_2

    Chapter 874: Chapter 488: Domain, the Pill is Formed_2 Chapter 874: Chapter 488: Domain, the Pill is Formed_2 Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s was about half a meter square, just right for planting a small tea tree and storing some personal items.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s, however, was one cubic meter. The domain could freely expand and contract within this range, large enough to hide a person without any issues.


    There were two ways for this Void domain to grow: one was by refining the Power of Void, and the other was through expanding it as a cultivator¡¯s realm broke through.


    Among these, a breakthrough at a major realm would result in a massive qualitative transformation.


    For instance, Chen Mobai currently had one cubic meter, but after Core Formation, his domain would suddenly increase to ten cubic meters.


    This unreasonable surge seemed like a principle of spatial laws.


    This was why many cultivators with developed domains would try to refine the Power of Void to expand the size of their domain before a realm breakthrough.


    When achieving a breakthrough in a minor realm, the domain would also expand, but compared to adding a zero for a major realm breakthrough, the increase for a minor realm was only doubled.


    Even so, this made things much more convenient for the Golden Core Masters of the Immortal Gate.


    Basically, cultivators around the third layer of Golden Core could possess a personal, inhabitable portable cave dwelling.


    However, Chen Mobai had one significant regret.


    That was, the ability of a cultivator to refine the Power of Void to increase the size of their domain depended on the amount of the Power of Void controlled at the time of creation.


    Each cluster represented a percentage.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s one hundred clusters of Power of Void equated perfectly to 1.


    It meant that without a realm breakthrough, he could refine the Power of Void to expand his domain by a factor of one ¨C that was the limit.


    Although, compared to other members of the Immortal Gate, he already possessed the deepest potential, if Chen Mobai utilized all the Void Stones in his storage bag, this potential could almost double.


    Though double might not seem much, with the empowerment of minor and major realm breakthroughs, the effect would be exponentially explosive.


    Come the time of Divinity Transformation, perhaps his domain might truly become a complete small world!


    After all, with the Tianhe Realm at his back, he wasn¡¯t short of Void Stones.


    This had been Chen Mobai¡¯s most vexing issue for the past half year; however, he later read in another Daoist Scripture that interpreted the universe, that a Nascent Soul Superior from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute who had mastered the Six Dominion Scripture speculated that a domain created at the beginning could use up to one hundred clusters of the Power of Void at most.


    This was the most robust foundation for a small world; any more than that and the concentrated domain formed would be the same size regardless.


    Reading this, Chen Mobai felt a bit more balanced in his mind.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move around?¡±


    While Chen Mobai was helping Meng Huang dry her hair, she placed her slender, straight, long white legs on his legs and swayed them from time to time.


    If he hadn¡¯t already dealt with this once before, Chen Mobai would have been calm enough to give her cultivation advice all over again.


    After hearing him, Meng Huang obediently stopped moving.


    During these six months, she had solidified her Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer realm.


    Following procedure and cultivating with Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, she should be able to reach the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment within six or seven years.


    Honestly, while at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she couldn¡¯t even dare to imagine having such a realm at this time.


    Back then, even Foundation Establishment felt like a pipe dream.


    She was very clear about the reasons for her achievements today.


    Therefore, as Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation in the Immortal Gate grew and he opened his Golden Core Domain, she wanted more than ever to bind herself completely to his side.


    So, especially in this past half-year in front of Chen Mobai, she became even more well-behaved and understanding than before.


    ¡°I¡¯ve booked a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow.¡±


    After drying her hair, Chen Mobai uttered words that slightly darkened Meng Huang¡¯s complexion.


    Although she always knew the day of separation would come, it still felt hard to let go when the time actually arrived.


    Before their separation, the two spent time together almost like lovers¨CMeng Huang cooked a delicious dinner, and Chen Mobai brought out the Spiritual Wine he¡¯d intended to give Elder Qingping.


    After becoming intoxicated with the wine, they embraced and fell asleep.


    Given their sensitive identities, Meng Huang didn¡¯t go to see Chen Mobai off at the airport when he left.


    She left their home alone with Chen Mobai¡¯s Golden Core Domain, then stepped out of her own domain in a deserted alley. Looking at the superstar whose expression revealed a hint of reluctance, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but say,


    ¡°I will come to visit you when I have time.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    After a soft acknowledgement, Chen Mobai nodded at her and left the capital¡¯s cave dwelling.


    Upon returning to Red Sandstone City, he was invited by Qin Baipeng, who had heard the news, to do an interview with the official media and then gave a lecture at his old high school, activities with which Chen Mobai was by now quite familiar.


    There were also several calls from friends and other such trivial matters that took another half month to deal with.


    Afterward, he left a Formless Puppet in his stead and his true body went to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, having received the message from the Heavenly Communication Device, immediately came over to the Longevity Wood Dojo. Chen Mobai dug up the Enlightenment White Tea seeds he had planted in his domain and gave them to her.


    ¡°This is a Rank-3 tea species that your master found in a secret realm, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of it.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of Rank-3. She took it carefully with both hands. However, because the tea hadn¡¯t been planted in the soil of Xiao Nanshan, she couldn¡¯t use the Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities on the Enlightenment White Tea yet.


    ¡°Master, are there really such precious spirit plants in the secret realm?¡±


    After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Mobai had also told her that he could sometimes freely enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, so she had no doubt about the origin of the Rank-3 tea species.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s a secret realm of the Ancient Changsheng Sect. There are even Fourth Order Longevity Wood, let alone Rank-3 tea species. When your master enters next time, I¡¯ll explore more. Perhaps I can find Thousand Year Medicine Herbs.¡±


    Whitewashing the Immortal Gate¡¯s goods in the Eastern Wilderness became much easier for Chen Mobai¨Cjust attribute everything to the Divine Tree Secret Realm and the Changsheng Sect.


    As long as the two elders didn¡¯t speak, no one below would suspect.


    Once he formed his Core, he wouldn¡¯t even need excuses anymore, everyone at the Divine Wood Sect would take it for granted.


    ¡°By the way, Ming¡¯er, are you confident about transplanting the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question. Zhuo Ming shook her head, indicating that she needed to make a trip to Black Cloud Mountain herself to determine whether she could successfully transplant the Immortal Peach Tree.


    Her Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities could be fully exerted within the boundary of Xiao Nanshan, but the abilities would weaken once outside Xiao Nanshan, diminishing the further away she was.


    However, as long as she was willing to spend time communicating with the earth¡¯s ley lines over a long period, she could eventually achieve the same effect as within Xiao Nanshan¡¯s boundary.


    ¡°If you have time, you can make a trip there. Your master will talk to the Spirit Plant Department.¡±


    After Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s death, all the properties of Black Cloud Mountain fell into the hands of the Divine Wood Sect, including the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree that naturally went to the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Master, do you want to transplant the Immortal Peach Tree to Xiao Nanshan?¡±


    Zhuo Ming asked, to which Chen Mobai nodded and then shook his head.


    He was thinking of transplanting it into his own domain; a domain¡¯s growth required a core of spiritual objects, and the grade of this spiritual object determined the future scale of the domain.


    Typically, Immortal Gates choose one spirit plant.


    For example, Wen Ren Xuewei had carefully cultivated a Third Rank Superior Grade tea tree, so that when refining the Power of Void, the core spirit plant could also help share the burden.


    If the spirit plant was strong enough, the domain¡¯s owner could even leave it alone, allowing for full automation.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t move the Fourth Order Longevity Wood, so after much consideration, the Third Rank Superior Grade Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain seemed good, although he was only thinking about it.


    But it was worth having Zhuo Ming prepare for it in advance.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming was about to leave when Chen Mobai stopped her and handed her another Formless Puppet.


    ¡°Use this puppet if you encounter danger.¡±


    Having already had one disciple go missing, Chen Mobai was even more concerned about his remaining Foundation Establishment disciple.


    Although Black Cloud Mountain was under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s supervision and likely to be safe, he gave Zhuo Ming a Green Flame Sword Talisman in addition to the Formless Puppet, just to be safe.

    After sending Zhuo Ming away, Chen Mobai checked Luo Yixuan¡¯s Soul Lantern to confirm that there was no danger to her life, which eased his mind.


    He then went to look for Fu Zongjue to ask if the Five Elements Sect had any news of Luo Yixuan.


    The answer was no.


    However, he received another piece of good news.


    Yan Shaoyin from Back to Sky Valley had finally succeeded in refining the Golden Liquid Jade Pill after two failures!

 Chapter 875 - Chapter 875 Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk

    Chapter 875: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk Chapter 875: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk ¡°`


    Finally, it is done!


    When Chen Mobai heard the news, he felt a deep sense of relief wash over him.


    His utmost confidence in his own Core Formation included firstly his binary cultivation method and secondly, this Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    However, the alchemy recipes of the Immortal Gate differ from those in the Tianhe Realm. Even Yan Shaoyin of the Back to Sky Valley, claimed as the first Alchemist of the Eastern Wilderness, spoiled two batches before barely succeeding.


    Chen Mobai was extremely grateful that he had given the recipe to the sect, allowing them to oversee the refinement.


    If he had painstakingly collected the materials himself and commissioned someone to refine them, only to fail in the end, his mood would certainly have exploded.


    If he had failed twice, Chen Mobai would probably have given up and resigned himself to sixty years of low-profile living in the Immortal Gate.


    Unlike now, where he could concentrate on cultivating and improving himself, no matter how many failures he endured, the sect would provide support.


    ¡°Ancestor, should I go and collect the elixir?¡±


    Even the usually composed Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel excited upon hearing the news.


    Once the elixir was in his hands, his chances of Core Formation would be even higher than Lan Haitian¡¯s were at the outset.


    ¡°Your disciple has gone missing; it is likely aimed against you. It¡¯s better not to leave the sect before your Core Formation. I will send a Puppet Body to Back to Sky Valley to retrieve it,¡± said his mentor.


    Fu Zongjue shook his head, forbidding Chen Mobai from leaving.


    Following the downfall of Shake Mountain Peak, Divine Wood Sect¡¯s primary tasks, while digesting the territories of Rock Country and Sky Country, were to await Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation and, besides that, to wait for Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, the situation shifts dramatically with the addition of one more high-order cultivator.


    Moreover, neither Fu Zongjue nor Zhou Shengqing himself held much hope for a successful Nascent Soul Formation. It was merely a gamble taken during the twilight years of their peak.


    Under the likely event that Zhou Shengqing failed his attempt, nurturing a new Golden Core Cultivator to take over was the best choice.


    And among the next generation of the Divine Wood Sect, that was Chen Mobai.


    Whether it was Meng Hong or Chu Zuoshu, despite both having completed Foundation Establishment, they simply paled in comparison to Chen Mobai whose talent almost overflowed.


    This was why the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect did not hesitate to pay any price to have Yan Shaoyin help refine the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    It was only because Back to Sky Valley and Divine Wood Sect possessed the first and second largest medicinal fields in the Eastern Wilderness, and Yan Shaoyin had connections to the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, that they could accomplish collecting the six hundred and sixty-six herbal ingredients for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill three times.


    After speaking with Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai felt at ease.


    It was just a pity that there was still no news about Luo Yixuan, and it was unknown what she had encountered.


    Upon returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo, Chen Mobai started adjusting his state, preparing for Core Formation.


    His Spiritual Power had long been refined to an immaculate degree by the Flame Lighting Technique. With his binary cultivation method as a foundation, there was definitely no problem in using it for Core Formation.


    Although he hadn¡¯t mastered the Longevity Dao Body due to a shortage of Longevity Tree Sap, he believed, based on his simulations with the Formless Puppet, that this shouldn¡¯t hinder his Core Formation.


    The only flaw was his Divine Sense.


    Opening the Golden Core Domain this time also made Chen Mobai realize that his talent in the realm of Divine Sense was not particularly outstanding.


    According to the theory of the Imperial Medical Academy of the Immortal Gate, although everyone has their limits, the capacity of the Dantian Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion can vary greatly after a breakthrough.


    Those with excellent talents and profound foundations can store much more Spiritual Power and Divine Sense at the Foundation Establishment Completion.


    Clearly, the capacity of Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion was just passable.


    After reaching the ninth layer in the Divine Sense Foundation Establishment, all the sycamore saplings in his Dividing Mind into Thoughts had unified into a tall Azure Jadeite Sycamore that took up his entire Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    In such a scenario, his Divine Sense would typically not be able to grow further. However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique was extraordinary, capable of converting the growth of Divine Sense into fruit for storage.


    That¡¯s why he always accepted invitations to increase his Divine Sense every time Meng Huang broke through her Cultivation Realm.


    The Divine Sense growth he obtained by listening to the Heartstring Mystical Sound was condensed into fruits and hung on the Azure Jadeite Sycamore in his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    The Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was the premier Elixir for Core Formation in the Immortal Gate, affecting essence, qi, and spirit aspects.


    The more prepared Chen Mobai was for his Core Formation, the fewer the deficiencies the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill would need to supplement, and the higher the success rate would become.


    Therefore, whenever he had the chance, he played the Morning Bell to cleanse and refine himself.


    ¡­


    Back to Sky Valley.


    After speaking with Yan Shaoyin and receiving two Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills from his hands, Fu Zongjue¡¯s mission was accomplished.


    As the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s top Alchemist, after failing twice, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s latest batch resulted in four pills with one of slightly inferior quality, having some defects.


    But Back to Sky Valley possessed a special Yun Dan Technique that could resolve and elevate flawed elixirs with excessive poisonous residue.


    Fu Zongjue was aware of this and unhesitatingly took the two good pills without a second thought.


    Yan Shaoyin didn¡¯t say much about it, considering that they would have many more collaborations in refining the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills in the future.

    ¡°I heard your Divine Wood Sect has a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius among the young generation, who killed two true inheritors of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and Ji Dingjin on the battlefield of Rock Country,¡± said Yan Shaoyin pointedly as Fu Zongjue was leaving.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he heard Yan Shaoyin¡¯s insinuating words, giving him a cold look.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Two Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, one for Chu Zuoshu, and the other one wouldn¡¯t happen to be for him, would it?¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 876 - Chapter 876 Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2

    Chapter 876: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2 Chapter 876: Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_2 Yan Shaoyin asked with a smile.


    Fu Zongjue naturally wouldn¡¯t tell the truth, ¡°He has been at the Foundation Establishment for less than twenty years, and it¡¯s only because he has cultivated the Sword Sha and possesses great combat strength that he stands out. He is still far from reaching Core Formation.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin said, ¡°That is true, but given his talents, he should reach the Perfection of Foundation Establishment quite quickly, shouldn¡¯t he?¡±


    Fu Zongjue asked, ¡°What exactly are you trying to say?¡±


    Yan Shaoyin mentioned, ¡°Given Zhao Xuankang¡¯s style, he wouldn¡¯t ignore such a talent from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Fu Zongjue demanded, ¡°Has he been seeking you out?¡±


    Yan Shaoyin replied, ¡°We¡¯ve met once, but I¡¯m not going to tell you the specifics of our conversation.¡±


    After hearing Yan Shaoyin¡¯s reminder, Fu Zongjue nodded slightly, acknowledging the goodwill implied.


    After leaving Back to Sky Valley, Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body suddenly split into four and departed in four different directions.


    ¡°This guy, he¡¯s really cautious, huh. Is there a need to take action and intercept him now?¡±


    Nanxuan Jing, who was lying in wait, furrowed his brows upon seeing this and turned to look at Zhao Xuankang beside him. After pondering for a moment, the latter shook his head.


    ¡°We still don¡¯t know what Elixir the Divine Wood Sect is collaborating with Back to Sky Valley to refine. Besides, we might not even be able to track the Puppet carrying the Elixir. Let¡¯s not stir the grass and startle the snake, triggering a premature decisive battle with the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    After hearing this, Nanxuan Jing still felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.


    ¡°What could it be other than Infant Forming Spirit Medicine? Over the years, they¡¯ve exchanged and purchased so many Thousand Year Medicine Herbs through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild. It¡¯s undoubtedly to aid Zhou Shengqing in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯.¡±


    During his last bout with Zhou Shengqing, Nanxuan Jing had used a Secret Technique to sense the latter¡¯s Perfect Core Formation Realm. Over the years, the two of them had mobilized the forces of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, monitoring every move of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Finally, two years ago, the alliance between the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley was discovered.


    However, the primary motive was still to refine the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Yan Shaoyin had exhausted his contacts and relationships to gather the ingredients for the previous two batches; for the third batch, there simply weren¡¯t enough Thousand Year Medicine Herbs, compelling the Divine Wood Sect to make arrangements to purchase and exchange them from Sun Bathing Sea.


    Even though Fu Zongjue had been as discreet as possible, he was still detected by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the local power in the Eastern Wasteland. Following up on the leads, they discovered that Yan Shaoyin was helping the Divine Wood Sect refine a Rank-4 Elixir.


    Because of this matter, Zhao Xuankang personally went to Back to Sky Valley to probe around, only to be brushed off by the old and sly Yan Shaoyin.


    ¡°Having suffered at the hands of Ancestor Hunyuan, Yan Shaoyin wouldn¡¯t allow another Nascent Soul Ancestor to rise in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang didn¡¯t fully agree with Nanxuan Jing¡¯s judgment.


    He was well-acquainted with all of the Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness and understood Yan Shaoyin¡¯s personality and character. He felt that no matter how tempting it was, Yan Shaoyin would not assist Zhou Shengqing in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯.


    ¡°Aside from Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, what other Elixir could it be that would lead the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley to join forces in refining? Could it possibly be one that raises Golden Core Cultivation? Do Yan Shaoyin and Fu Zongjue also want Perfect Core Formation?¡±


    After listening, Nanxuan Jing also felt that Zhao Xuankang¡¯s reasoning made sense and began to speculate further.


    ¡°Junior Brother, besides that, I¡¯ve thought of another possibility. What they¡¯re refining, could it be the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine?¡±


    A glint of sharpness flashed through Zhao Xuankang¡¯s aged eyes as he spoke a sentence that first made Nanxuan Jing frown and then suddenly realize.


    ¡°Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine? That¡¯s not impossible. The Divine Wood Sect has two at the Completion of Foundation Establishment. If they could add another Golden Core Cultivator, it might just change the situation in the Eastern Wasteland.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhao Xuankang shook his head, ¡°Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu are not worth worrying about. The hope of their Core Formation is less than twenty percent. I¡¯m concerned about Chen Guixian.¡±


    ¡°Chen Guixian!?¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Nanxuan Jing thought of his two disciples who had perished in the Eastern Wasteland. They were the ones he had pinned his hopes on to carry on his legacy.


    He had believed that as long as they didn¡¯t encounter a Golden Core opponent, they would be invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.


    But just as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were slain by that Chen Guixian.


    Though reluctant to admit it, by comparing the deaths and defeats of his own disciples, he could tell that Chen Guixian¡¯s talent was no lesser than that of the Taoist Child of their Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    If it weren¡¯t for being in the remote Eastern Wilderness, Chen Guixian might have already soared to great heights, perhaps even already at Core Formation, just like their Taoist Children.


    ¡°If it really is the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, what shall we do?¡±


    After being reminded by Zhao Xuankang, Nanxuan Jing also realized the gravity of the issue.


    Chen Guixian was invincible among his peers after cultivating the Sword Sha during his Foundation Establishment. If he truly succeeds in Core Formation with his unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao, wouldn¡¯t he be another Mo Douguang!

    ¡°The Great Elder hasn¡¯t decided to make a move yet, so for now, we can¡¯t directly conflict with the Divine Wood Sect. Let¡¯s just make some subtle moves behind the scenes,¡± Zhao Xuankang said calmly, and then he parted ways with Nanxuan Jing, making his way deep into Yun Meng Ze.


    After two months of continuous flying and approaching the Dongwu Domain, he arrived at a mist-enshrouded island.


    ¡°Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s Zhao Xuankang pays his respects,¡± he called out while hovering in midair, his voice reverberating deeply from his Dantian toward the island.


    ¡°Zhao Xuankang? I didn¡¯t expect you would actually find this place,¡± a sinister voice emerged from inside the island, as a monstrous cloud of mist condensed into a giant ghostly face, towering over the diminutive Zhao Xuankang.


    ¡°Tu Daohua, when you showed yourself in our Xuan Xiao Immortal City, I granted you a favor. Do you acknowledge this debt?¡±

 Chapter 877 - Chapter 877 Chapter 489 Magic Daoist Monk_3

    Chapter 877: Chapter 489: Magic Daoist Monk_3 Chapter 877: Chapter 489: Magic Daoist Monk_3 Zhao Xuankang faced the ghost face in midair, his expression unchanged, and he spoke with composure.


    ¡°Hey, the fact that I visited your Xuan Xiao Dao Palace¡¯s territory was a sign of respect for you guys, and I did honestly pay with Spirit Stones. Since when did a regular transaction count as a favor?¡±


    ¡°For ordinary cultivators, naturally, it wouldn¡¯t count as a favor, but you are a Magic Daoist Monk. Had I made the slightest peep back then, I¡¯m sure my Great Elder would have been more than happy to kill you, a Golden Core Demon Cultivator.¡±


    After Zhao Xuankang finished speaking, Tu Daohua fell silent.


    Clearly, the Nascent Soul Great Elder of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace was still a deterrent for him.


    ¡°Speak, what is your purpose for seeking me out.¡±


    When Zhao Xuankang heard this, he knew the matter was settled and he smiled slightly.


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect has produced a genius. If he¡¯s given time to grow, it¡¯s very likely he will achieve Core Formation and even ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. I need you to use the Demon¡¯s Nightmare Prayer Technique to ruin his Cultivation Level.¡±


    ¡°Three Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan!¡±


    Tu Daohua shouted his price, Zhao Xuankang shook his head, and extended a finger.


    ¡°Two, there can be no less. Every use of the Technique of Nightmare Prayers will reduce my own life span, and excessive usage might also ruin my own Cultivation Level. If you don¡¯t agree, you can leave now.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang frowned, but still nodded his head; after all, it was he who needed a favor. However, he had his own conditions.


    ¡°You will perform it before me now, and after the success of the operation, I¡¯ll give you one pill first. Since I only have one pill on me, as soon as I confirm that Chen Guixian¡¯s Cultivation Level is ruined, I¡¯ll return to the Dao Palace to fetch the other for you.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Tu Daohua was inclined to take the two pills straightaway, but also knew that there was a mutual lack of trust between them. This was the best method they could agree on, so he could only nod in agreement but indicated that today was impossible.


    ¡°I have to receive a distinguished guest tomorrow, and besides, the Technique of Nightmare Prayers requires preparing an altar and an effigy. Come back in one month.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhao Xuankang slightly furrowed his brow but said nothing more, nodding his head in agreement.


    ¡°Give me the name and birthdate of the one you want cursed, and I will prepare the effigy.¡±


    Tu Daohua asked for the most critical piece of information.


    ¡°His name is Chen Guixian¡­¡±


    Ever since Zhao Xuankang heard that Nanxuan Jing¡¯s two disciples were beheaded, this idea had formed in his mind; he had long gathered all the necessary information about Chen Guixian.


    ¡°You¡¯re sure that¡¯s correct?¡±


    Tu Daohua murmured the name Chen Guixian twice and only after getting Zhao Xuankang¡¯s undoubtedly affirmative answer, did he send the guest away.


    Zhao Xuankang, however, did not leave the island too far behind. He deployed a concealment Formation and hid somewhere under the water.


    He was a bit curious about the person Tu Daohua would be receiving.


    Magic Daoist Monks tended to be loners, proud and untamed. What sort of person could be regarded as a ¡°distinguished guest¡± by Tu Daohua?


    With this thought in mind, and since he had to come back here after a month anyway, he decided to wait there.


    At dusk on the following day, Zhao Xuankang finally saw the arrival of the visitor.

    It was an old granny dressed in floral clothing, alongside a beautiful Female Cultivator in palace attire, with fair skin, a jade-like complexion, and a slight worry on her lovely face, flying directly into the island.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang muttered to himself; the aura of the old granny was unfathomable, her Cultivation Level far beyond his own.


    In contrast, the stunning Female Cultivator in white palace attire appeared to be only at Foundation Establishment; it looked as though she had achieved Foundation Establishment not long ago and couldn¡¯t completely contain her aura.


    They must be a master and disciple.

 Chapter 878 - Chapter 878 Chapter 490 Longevity Dao Body Achieved

    Chapter 878: Chapter 490 Longevity Dao Body Achieved Chapter 878: Chapter 490 Longevity Dao Body Achieved ¡°`


    Achoo!


    While meditating, Chen Mobai suddenly sneezed.


    ¡°Another year has passed into autumn and winter.¡±


    He stepped out of the wooden house, looked at the leaves dancing in the cold wind under the clear sky, and couldn¡¯t help but remark.


    The higher one¡¯s cultivation level, the faster time seems to pass by.


    At the beginning of the year, he had just established the Golden Core Domain at Wangwu Cave Heaven, and in the blink of an eye, over half a year had gone by.


    However, it was mostly due to the time it took to help Meng Huang make her breakthrough that was rather long.


    Achoo!


    Another sneeze, and Chen Mobai scratched his head, finding it strange. Since achieving a certain level of cultivation, he hadn¡¯t suffered from a cold or fever.


    Was someone thinking of him behind his back?


    Under the influence of his thoughts, had he somehow sensed it?


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, I have prayed to him with the Technique of Nightmare Prayers for a total of forty-nine days, for seven cycles of seven days. Even if his fate is tough and he can withstand the curse, he will start to have nightmares frequently, leaving his spirit exhausted,¡± Tu Daohua said confidently, with fresh red blood streaks painted on his face and dressed in a long robe of black and red, as he rose from an altar constructed from various bones of birds, beasts, and fish.


    ¡°This is a Xu Tian Wu Jin Pill.¡±


    During these forty-nine days, Zhao Xuankang personally witnessed Tu Daohua worshipping at the altar with a straw figure bearing Chen Guixian¡¯s name and birth details written on it.


    As a Great Elder of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, marked for connections with the Demon Path, he was sure that Tu Daohua was playing no tricks.


    ¡°When will you give the second one? There should be a deadline, right? If you delay, I won¡¯t be able to find you at Xuan Xiao Immortal City,¡± Tu Daohua said, opening the bottle to inspect the elixir and making sure it was fine, his mind already moving towards the second pill.


    ¡°We have already sworn oaths upon our Dao hearts. Why do you worry so much?¡± Zhao Xuankang said with a faint smile, then pointed at the straw figure, which, after being worshipped for forty-nine days, had turned an abnormal shade of black and red.


    ¡°Here, take it. If you have this kind of matter again, you can come to me.¡±


    Tu Daohua, having received the elixir, was actually very satisfied and generously handed over the straw figure representing Chen Guixian to Zhao Xuankang.


    ¡°Can you also pray for Huang Jinglu of Sun Bathing Sea¡¯s Taoist Child?¡± Zhao Xuankang mentioned another name that made Tu Daohua hurriedly shake his head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not mess with the disciples guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators from the great sects. I have survived until now because I am cautious and never provoke you major sects,¡± he replied.


    After hearing this, Zhao Xuankang did not engage in any further conversation with the magic Daoist monk and turned to leave.


    ¡°This fellow looks amiable, but he is one of the most vicious and cunning operators in Xuan Xiao Dao Palace. Should I move?¡± After watching Zhao Xuankang leave, Tu Daohua looked hesitant. After all, beyond the Eastern Li Region, magic Daoist monks like him were everyone¡¯s target.


    There were even rogue cultivators who specifically preyed on magic Daoist monks for cultivation resources.


    However, after pondering for a moment, Tu Daohua thought of how long he had been established here and believed that unless he encountered Nascent Soul cultivators, even three or four Golden Core Cultivators would not easily break through his formations.


    Moreover, he had recently established a relationship with a significant sect of the Demon Path and did not need to be overly concerned about the near-end-of-life Great Elder of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    ¡°I should still be cautious. I¡¯ll set up a small teleportation array.¡±


    But being a magic Daoist monk, each one an expert in self-preservation, Tu Daohua decided to visit a major Immortal Cultivation family that he often collaborated with in the Eastern Wu Territory.


    After personally setting up the teleportation array on an unnamed barren island, Tu Daohua felt reassured and returned to start his seclusion and consume the Xu Tian Wu Jin Pill.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t remember the last time he had been ill.


    Although it was just a regular cold and fever, for someone who was cultivating a Pure Yang Daoist Body with abundant yang energy and theoretically immune to all illnesses, this was a very peculiar occurrence.


    Achoo!


    After sneezing three times in a row, he took the soup medicine Zhuo Ming had prepared and drank it in one gulp.


    ¡°Master, Elder Zeng says it¡¯s because you are missing your junior sister so much that you let the cold into your heart and mind. You¡¯ll be better after this round of medicine,¡± Zhuo Ming said.


    Besides Zhuo Ming, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo was also there; he was about to attempt Foundation Establishment for the second time after securing a Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Sigh, I just hope that Xuan was taken away by a reclusive great master who chose her as a successor.¡±


    Honestly, Chen Mobai himself felt that although his relationship with his missing junior disciple was quite good, it shouldn¡¯t have been deep enough to become ill from longing.


    But, having grown up in the Immortal Gate, he always believed in the judgments of doctors.


    As the head of the Alchemy Department and the most talented physician of the Divine Wood Sect, if Elder Zeng said it was due to missing Luo Yixuan, then it must be the case.

    ¡°Master, junior sister has her own lucky stars and will be alright,¡± Liu Wenbo could only offer comforting words, as Chen Mobai had already asked him to check on Luo Yixuan¡¯s soul lantern and confirmed she was still alive.


    ¡°As your teacher, it¡¯s just a minor cold. You two don¡¯t need to take care of me, go on with your own things,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    When a master has an issue in the Eastern Wilderness, disciples ought to show their utmost filial piety, so after hearing the news, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming had been attending diligently in the Longevity Wood Dojo.


    But Chen Mobai was slightly uncomfortable with this; he was perfectly capable and with his Pure Yang Daoist Body and Longevity Dao Body, a mere cold was something that would feel much better after just one night.

 Chapter 879 - Chapter 879 Chapter 490 The Longevity Dao Body is Achieved

    Chapter 879: Chapter 490: The Longevity Dao Body is Achieved (Part 2) Chapter 879: Chapter 490: The Longevity Dao Body is Achieved (Part 2) The two disciples exchanged a glance and obediently left the wooden hut.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that they had not left the Longevity Wood Dojo, but instead stayed at the base of the roots.


    Since his disciples were so filial, Chen Mobai naturally did not drive them away anymore.


    After feeling much better the next day, he called the two up and started the long-missed teaching and resolving of doubts.


    The questions Liu Wenbo asked were naturally about Foundation Establishment. Chen Mobai used a Formless Puppet to simulate for him and found that the success rate was fifty-fifty.


    It was just a matter of one thought.


    ¡°Hmm, with the previous Foundation Establishment as a base, your body has completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, so the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill can be allocated more to Condensing Qi into Liquid and Divine Sense leaving the body, giving you a seventy percent chance of successfully establishing your foundation,¡± Chen Mobai encouraged.


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking these encouraging words, Liu Wenbo, who had been somewhat apprehensive, instantly became much more confident.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After Liu Wenbo it was Zhuo Ming¡¯s turn, and her questions were all about Spirit Plants.


    Throughout the year, relying on the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication and the favorable conditions of Giant Tree Ridge, she easily became a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, the certification criteria for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal are quite broad; as long as one can take care of a third-order Spirit Plant, it is considered a success.


    At the Immortal Gate, to test for a third-order profession, one randomly selects ten types from a question bank, then passes the top 10% of the candidates with the highest scores for that period.


    The Rank-3 Spirit Plant that Zhuo Ming cared for was the Golden Sun Spirit Tree, which was the most abundant in Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, after she became a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, she felt that she still had a lot to learn, so while diligently using the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication to communicate with Spirit Plants and enrich herself, she would also occasionally come to consult with Chen Mobai.


    She found that although Master was no longer as proficient as her in the skill of Spirit Plant Master, his understanding and cognition of the entire Spirit Plant system could always give her considerable shock.


    Take, for example, the tea garden in Xiao Nanshan; Zhuo Ming knew how to take care of each tea tree to survive and under what conditions they could produce the tenderest buds.


    But every tea tree in the garden has never been able to grow to its best.


    After learning of this, Chen Mobai advised Zhuo Ming to relocate some tea trees that were unsuitable for the land vein of Xiao Nanshan, such as those from the Snow Peak Bai Family suited for bitterly cold areas, and then ensure that each remaining tea tree had enough soil space for roots to grow and absorb spiritual energy. He also separated the different tea trees with formations.


    With this done, Zhuo Ming could feel the joy of all the tea trees in the garden, and through the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication, she envisioned the scene next spring when the tea trees would sprout with green, tender leaves.


    Then there was the ongoing hybridization experiment with third-order Spirit Rice; every time Zhuo Ming failed, she had no idea how to proceed next.


    She had outstanding Spirit Plant skills but did not know how to make the best use of them.


    But Chen Mobai, who since childhood enjoyed watching agricultural programs with his family at the Immortal Gate, had just the right grasp of the bigger picture.


    After answering Zhuo Ming¡¯s questions, Chen Mobai asked her some about cultivation as well.


    ¡°The cultivation of Earth Mother Cultivation Technique feels quite smooth, and I don¡¯t really feel any doubts,¡±


    After her Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, Zhuo Ming cultivated the Earth Mother Cultivation as if she had created it herself; although the pace was slow, her foundation was solid, and she was progressing steadily.


    Mainly because as long as she continued farming Spirit Plants, she would continue to grow, fitting her perfectly.


    Since there were no doubts, Chen Mobai was reassured.


    ¡°Oh, Master, Gu Shimai has successfully established her foundation. She said that your lecture in Divine Wood City was the key to her success, and she would like to thank you in person,¡±


    Zhuo Ming added, but Chen Mobai did not recognize the Gu Shimai she mentioned.


    ¡°It¡¯s Gu Yan, she entered the sect the same year as us, but because she¡¯s from Rain Country, she hasn¡¯t interacted much with those of us from Yun Country, so it¡¯s normal that Master doesn¡¯t know her,¡±


    Zhuo Ming knew Gu Yan because she cultivated the Spring Wind Rain Skill, which could condense a lot of Spiritual Water, helpful for irrigation and wine brewing.


    ¡°She cultivates water attribute techniques.¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up slightly, and after getting confirmation, he inquired whether she had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Elder Lu said that after another two years, when all the True Disciples have taken their Foundation Building Pills, he will send them all into the Secret Realm at once,¡±


    Zhuo Ming was indeed aware of this matter.


    If it were any other concern, Chen Mobai would naturally not bother, but disciples who cultivate the Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques for their Foundation Establishment could very likely harvest Longevity Tree Sap from the Magic Treasure Tree, so he felt he might need to trouble Lu Yi once more.


    The next day, Zhuo Ming brought Gu Yan over, a young girl gentle as water with a smile that carried a hint of Spiritual Energy.


    ¡°Greetings, Senior Brother Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. Zhuo Ming immediately brewed tea, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries amicably. He brought up his need for Longevity Tree Sap and also disclosed his price.


    Gu Yan hesitated, but eventually succumbed to the temptation of 100,000 Spirit Stones and nodded her agreement.


    After fixing the arrangement, it was time for Chen Mobai to take two jars of Spiritual Wine and go find Lu Yi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll still give you face, and since the Lian family ancestor also sought my help, I¡¯ll send two people in this time,¡± Lu Yi said.


    After talking with Lu Yi, Chen Mobai learned that aside from Gu Yan, Lian Maozhi of the Lei Nation Lian family had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment some days earlier.


    The Lian family ancestor and Chen Mobai were comrades-in-arms. During their initial battle against Mountain Shaker Peak, he had faced life and death situations for the Divine Wood Sect.


    Now that Lian Maozhi had achieved success in Foundation Establishment, it meant the Lian family could firmly secure its position as the number one family in Lei Nation.


    Both of them gained something after entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Gu Yan indeed acquired a gourd of Longevity Tree Sap, and Chen Mobai, pleased, traded the 100,000 Spirit Stones for it.


    However, Gu Yan mentioned that she had acquired a Secret Technique related to the Longevity Tree Sap inside the Talent Tree and asked if she could keep a few drops if possible.


    Chen Mobai only needed 76 drops of Longevity Tree Sap to complete the first layer of the Longevity Dao Body.


    Although the second layer also called for Longevity Dew refined from Longevity Tree Sap, that was still a long way off for him; thus, he nodded, returned 10 drops to Gu Yan, who also gave back 10,000 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°While I¡¯m in seclusion cultivating the Dao Body, check on Xuan¡¯s Soul Lantern when you have time. If anything unusual happens, notify me immediately,¡± Chen Mobai instructed Zhuo Ming.


    Before going into seclusion, Chen Mobai, still concerned for Luo Yixuan¡¯s safety, specially called Zhuo Ming over.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    This second disciple, even without Chen Mobai, could already stand on her own within the Divine Wood Sect, which made Chen Mobai very reassured as he went into seclusion.


    Spring came and winter left.


    600 days quickly passed, and under the Precious Fire Forging Body Technique, Chen Mobai had finally infused every one of his bones with the Longevity Tree Sap.


    That day, he sat on a branch of the Longevity Wood, his body faintly enveloped in the light of Green-sun Fire, appearing like a glowing fireball.


    Dense, fourth-order superior Spiritual Qi transformed into streams of solid light, flowing into Chen Mobai¡¯s body from his seven apertures. His fair skin gradually became translucent, making him resemble a piece of jade, revealing the bones and meridians inside, and slowly erasing congenital imperfections in his flesh.


    His physical body was evolving toward the most perfect state.


    The first layer of the Longevity Dao Body, Non-aging.


    This meant the cultivator who achieved it could perpetually maintain their physical body in the most flawless condition.


    Even with severe injuries, as long as the limbs remained intact, one could recover using Vital Essence and Spiritual Power to return to perfect condition.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, after recovering from severe injuries, one¡¯s lifespan would be reduced.


    Time passed unknowingly, and the glow of the Precious Fire around Chen Mobai gradually dissipated, his skin returned to its fair complexion, and he opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented ease and comfort in his body and an even more vigorous Vital Essence. Even his Dantian Qi Sea had expanded slightly, making him reveal a satisfied smile.


    Being able to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body before Core Formation was one less worry for him.


    Then, he took out a Jade Vial from his Storage Bag, and on opening it, a golden elixir with ripple-like patterns fell into his palm.


    This was the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill!

 Chapter 880 - Chapter 880 Chapter 491 Before Core Formation

    Chapter 880: Chapter 491 Before Core Formation Chapter 880: Chapter 491 Before Core Formation Fu Zongjue gave Chen Mobai this elixir along with a token.


    This was an entry token for a cave dwelling within the Sun Bathing Sea and Golden Crow Immortal City in the Eastern Yi Territory¨Ca property of their Divine Wood Sect.


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, whenever they visited the East Barbarians, would usually stay there.


    The cave dwelling boasted a Third Rank Superior Grade spirit vein, which was almost sufficient for a cultivator undergoing Core Formation. If one set up a Spirit Gathering Array with top-grade spirit stones, it would be no less favorable than their location in Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai was deeply touched by the arrangement of the sect.


    They not only helped him refine the Golden Liquid Jade Pill but also considered the potential trouble with Meng Hong when he would undergo Core Formation, thus arranging for him convenience in the Sun Bathing Sea.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that after the Heavenly Tribulation of Core Formation in the Tianhe Realm, he was intent on returning to the Immortal Gate for the process.


    Moreover, as his Longevity Dao Body was still not perfected, he used this as a reason to stay in the Divine Wood Sect for another two years.


    Throughout these years, he mostly sat on top of this Fourth Grade Superior spirit vein and engaged in bitter cultivation.


    But he also returned to the Immortal Gate twice.


    Once was when his cousin, Wang Xinying, succeeded in Foundation Establishment; it was right after her graduation year was extended, which was very fortunate.


    If she hadn¡¯t succeeded then, she would have gone to matchmake and marry.


    Chen Mobai had a deep bond with her since childhood and naturally wanted to celebrate for her.


    He gave her the golden token he acquired from the Xuan Jinzhi as a gift.


    Another time was not long ago when Meng Huang made a breakthrough to the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.


    At that moment, although he had infused all the Longevity Tree Sap into his Taoist Body, he was missing the crucial final step to complete it. After a long period of meditation without success, he took the opportunity to relax back at the Immortal Gate.


    Who knew that after he returned from guiding Meng Huang through her breakthrough, his cultivation suddenly flowed smoothly, and his blood and bones connected seamlessly.


    With the Longevity Dao Body perfected and the preparations for Core Formation nearly complete, Chen Mobai was ready to set out.


    He took the Golden Liquid Jade Pill with him and went to pay a visit to Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°When you go to the Sun Bathing Sea, act with discretion. While you can be assured of safety within Golden Crow Immortal City, you must still be wary of hired killers from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. If you¡¯re preparing for Core Formation, you can secretly use an alias to get another cave dwelling.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, having seen much in the Tianhe Realm, had thoroughly considered Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, and thus gave him a thoughtful suggestion.


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor, for your deep kindness. This trip may take several years, so I ask the Ancestor to take special care of Xuan.


    Luo Yixuan went missing in Ming Nation, the main camp of the Five Elements Sect, and only the Sect Leader and the two ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect could command their covert operatives there.


    ¡°Hmm, if there¡¯s any news, I¡¯ll let you know.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude once more and was about to leave when Fu Zongjue, with a curious expression, stopped him.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask about the sect¡¯s secret Core Formation Insights?¡±


    ¡°This¡­ my Daoist Body has reached completion, and in my excitement, I forgot about that,¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately slapped his forehead and came up with an excuse.


    Primarily, it was because he could access thousands of unique Foundation Establishment experiences at the Immortal Gate. As for the Core Formation Insights unique to the Divine Wood Sect, which were very personal and not particularly universal, he had little interest.


    ¡°This knowledge is passed down orally, and before you receive it, you must swear an oath with your Dao Heart never to divulge it.¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s demeanor became serious as he began to impart the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s most precious knowledge to Chen Mobai.


    Apart from Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue¡¯s Core Formation Insights, there were also those of True Person Nu Jiang from the Five Elements Sect, and Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff.


    What surprised Chen Mobai the most, however, was the last insight¨Cit was from Ancestor Hunyuan of the Five Elements Sect.


    But Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s Core Formation Insights had some disjointed sentences, as if some content in the middle had been deleted.


    Chen Mobai guessed that the complete version might have been ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± experiences. When it was passed down, this aspect might have been removed, resulting in the disjointed sentences of the current Core Formation Insights.


    As he lamented the closed nature of knowledge transmission in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression was one of respectful attention as he listened to Fu Zongjue¡¯s spoken words.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all of them. Have you memorized them?¡±


    Half a day later, after Fu Zongjue finished imparting the five sets of Core Formation Insights of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai nodded and thanked him again.


    ¡°Before you go, let me give you one last piece of advice.¡±


    ¡°Please, Ancestor, enlighten me,¡±


    Chen Mobai held great respect for Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°When you¡¯re undergoing Core Formation, find a belief for yourself, one that you must succeed for.¡±


    After saying this, Fu Zongjue shared his own story of Core Formation.


    At that time, if he hadn¡¯t succeeded, Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the Five Elements Sect. The newly separated Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff would have been destroyed, and all of his friends and family would have perished in the aftermath of the war. These thoughts constituted Fu Zongjue¡¯s mindset during his Core Formation.


    It was with the belief that he would die if he didn¡¯t succeed in Core Formation that he was able to surmount the tribulation and achieve what he had today.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression shifted subtly; such a belief was unimaginable at the Immortal Gate.


    For cultivators of the Immortal Gate, if they couldn¡¯t break through a realm, they simply wouldn¡¯t break through. Living a steady life, creating a family, and dying of old age would also be considered a complete life.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai himself didn¡¯t hold such a belief.


    To him, if he failed at Core Formation, then he failed. He could always try again.


    After all, he had the resources of both realms at his disposal and was young. Time was on his side.


    When he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had the same mindset.


    Now, having listened to Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai felt that his attitude all this while might have been lacking.

 Chapter 881 - Chapter 881 Chapter 491 Before Core Formation _2

    Chapter 881: Chapter 491: Before Core Formation _2 Chapter 881: Chapter 491: Before Core Formation _2 If one could succeed on the first try, why waste time preparing for a second or third?


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai wore a contemplative expression.


    After thanking Fu Zongjue, he returned to his Longevity Wood Dojo, still pondering over the matter.


    It wasn¡¯t until Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming arrived that he snapped back to reality.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo¡¯s voice was particularly loud, and Chen Mobai lifted his head to look at him.


    Not bad, he¡¯s reached Foundation Establishment.


    During the two years Chen Mobai spent in seclusion cultivating his Longevity Dao Body, his first disciple had brought his essence, qi, and spirit to their peak before taking the Foundation Building Pill that Zhuo Ming had given him. With the strong confidence passed down by Chen Mobai, he finally succeeded in Foundation Establishment.


    The power of belief is indeed formidable.


    Seeing Liu Wenbo as an example, Chen Mobai gained a deeper understanding of Fu Zongjue¡¯s words.


    ¡°Your Master must step out to handle some matters for Elder Ancestor Fu¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide the fact that he would be leaving the sect from his two disciples, but as a precaution, he did not reveal that he was preparing for Core Formation.


    ¡°From now on, Wenbo will continue to manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop, and Ming¡¯er will be in charge of all business within our Sect branch, and always keep an eye on Xuan¡¯s Soul Lantern¡­¡±


    The disciples from the Eastern Wilderness were very obedient, and both nodded in agreement as soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking.


    ¡°Master, due to the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain being of such high grade, although I have communicated with it, it might require a Cultivation Level of Core Formation to ensure a complete transplantation to Little South Mountain.¡±


    Zhuo Ming reported on a matter of concern to Chen Mobai, but currently, the most important thing for the latter was Core Formation. Since there was no complete certainty of relocating the Immortal Peach Tree, it could be put aside for the time being.


    ¡°Oh, I once obtained a Kindwood Mantra from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which originated from the Ancient Changsheng Sect and is specially used for transplantation. Listen¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly remembered a secret technique he had obtained from the Talent Tree.


    However, this secret technique would only be effective on the Immortal Peach Tree after reaching Rank-3, and he hadn¡¯t spent any time on it amidst the various preparations for Core Formation.


    Zhuo Ming had inherited his legacy of Spiritual Plant Farming, so it was just right to pass it on to her.


    In addition to the Kindwood Mantra, he also imparted the Jia Wood Jue.


    ¡°Thank you for imparting the techniques, Master!¡±


    Upon learning the two major Spiritual Plant secret techniques from the Longevity Sect, Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes shone with excitement and gratitude.


    Liu Wenbo, on the other hand, listened alongside, but he couldn¡¯t quite grasp the specifics as clearly as Zhuo Ming, whose talents in the area of Spiritual Plants were exceptional.


    ¡°Wenbo, now that you¡¯ve reached Foundation Establishment, your Master will also impart two secret techniques of the Longevity Sect to you.¡±


    Knowing that he would be away for several years and considering Liu Wenbo had just achieved Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai decided to pass on the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± and the ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡± to his eldest disciple.


    Liu Wenbo was cultivating the Water Wood Cultivation Technique and planned to focus on the Longevity Scripture. If he could master the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light and even comprehend the Sacred Tree Divine Light during Foundation Establishment, he might be able to earn the title of unparalleled in his own rank.


    ¡°Master¡¯s great kindness and virtue is beyond repayment!¡±


    After reaching Foundation Establishment, Liu Wenbo¡¯s horizons had greatly expanded, and he recognized the immense value of the two secret techniques Chen Mobai had imparted to him, even more excited than Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°You may both leave now.¡±


    After arranging for his two disciples, Chen Mobai went to see some friends within the sect.


    By now, practically all of the true disciples had taken the Foundation Building Pills.


    Among those Chen Mobai knew, Xi Jinghuo had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, while Qi Rui and Qi Hou had failed.


    During a drink with Meng Hong, who had retired from the position of Sect Leader, he expressed great satisfaction with this batch of true disciples.


    Compared to the number of those who had achieved Foundation Establishment in the past, this batch had almost doubled.


    Out of Chen Mobai¡¯s three disciples, Li Yixian, Jiang Zongheng, Lian Maozhi, Gu Yan, Xi Jinghuo, and Ding Ying¨Cnine in total¨Chad succeeded in Foundation Establishment.


    Aside from Li Yixian, Ding Ying, and Xi Jinghuo, the rest were disciples newly recruited to Chen Mobai¡¯s own batch.


    This convinced Meng Hong that his policy to expand the recruitment of sect disciples during his term had been very correct.


    He was even considering taking charge of the new disciples¡¯ recruitment himself, intending to shorten the ten-year cycle to eight years.


    After finishing his drink with Meng Hong, Chen Mobai also went to meet with other good friends within the sect like Yuan Chiye and Yan Jinye.


    Among the five sets of Core Formation Insights imparted by Fu Zongjue, the sole commonality was that before Core Formation, it was best to resolve all matters of concern and clear all karma.


    Whether a clear state of mind would aid Core Formation was unknown, but having concerns would certainly hinder it.


    Chen Mobai reflected on all the events since his arrival in the Tianhe Realm.


    At the Water Mansion, he had diligently eaten fish and practiced cultivation, lacking any social interactions.


    In Southstream Market, he made a living selling items for Spirit Stones, met Lu Shu and Zhuo Ming, was outwitted by the former, and took advantage of by the latter.


    Lu Shu had disappeared without trace, while Zhuo Ming had become his disciple.

    Then there were the South Mountain Thieves who had tried to rob him, but they had been wiped out by E Yun.


    At Qing Light Island in Cloud Dream Marsh, Chen Mobai had vivid memories of those who fought alongside him.


    Particularly Qi Rui¨Cif it hadn¡¯t been for him, Chen Mobai might not have become so drawn to the Divine Wood Sect.


    When leaving the group, Qi Rui even gifted him with his own understanding of how to refine the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, which in the Eastern Wilderness was something only done between life-and-death friends.


    Indeed, their shared battles against demonic beasts on Qing Light Island could definitely be called a life-and-death kinship.

 Chapter 882 - Chapter 882 Chapter 491 Before Core Formation_3

    Chapter 882: Chapter 491: Before Core Formation_3 Chapter 882: Chapter 491: Before Core Formation_3 After joining the sect, the hearty and generous Qi Rui was very caring towards Chen Mobai, but as the latter became the number one True Disciple and even after his Foundation Establishment, Qi began to gradually reduce their interactions.


    Thinking back now, Qi Rui could be considered the first person in the Tianhe Realm who was truly kind to him as a friend.


    ¡­


    ¡°I will repay the contribution points I owe you with the latter half of my life, so you don¡¯t have to worry about me skipping out,¡± Chen Mobai said as he went to find Qi Rui, who was surrounded by three Divine Wood Sect Qi Cultivating Disciples, barely containing his anger.


    The contribution points that True Disciples exchange for Foundation Building Pills are mostly borrowed.


    ¡°Brother Qi, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t trust you, but don¡¯t you still have a Rank-1 top-quality Flying Sword? How about this, we take a bit of a loss, you give me the Flying Sword, and we¡¯ll consider the contribution points you owe me and the other two disciples canceled out¡­¡± the three Divine Wood Sect disciples said with a sneer on their faces.


    ¡°I need this Flying Sword to go to Yun Meng Ze to hunt demonic beasts and earn sect contribution points. If I give it to you, how am I supposed to repay the debts I owe to the other dozen or so disciples?¡± Qi Rui was disheveled and reeked of alcohol, but he was still very responsible.


    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t take kindness for weakness; if you don¡¯t give me the Flying Sword, pay back the five hundred contribution points you owe me within three days, or I will report you to the Penalty Evil Hall,¡± one of the Divine Wood Sect disciples said before turning to leave with the other two, but suddenly they all stopped in their tracks, frozen on the spot.


    ¡°Elder Chen¡­ Elder Chen¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the three men with an expressionless face. If he remembered correctly, these three were once friends of Qi Rui who had eaten together in the Divine Wood City before his Foundation Establishment.


    He didn¡¯t expect that now, after Qi Rui¡¯s failed Foundation Establishment, all the old ties of friendship were gone.


    However, it¡¯s only natural to pay back what one owes, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry you had to see this,¡± Qi Rui said with a rueful smile, looking at his disheveled self after the three men hurried off with cold sweat on their foreheads.


    ¡°How much contribution do you owe the sect for the Foundation Building Pills? Let me help you pay it off, and you can repay me when you have it,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thanks, but no need, it¡¯s just these three who are pressing hard. I have arrangements with the other senior brothers to pay some Spirit Stones each year as interest, and I will be able to pay it all off,¡± Qi Rui said with a bit of pride, which was also why he had distanced himself after Chen Mobai¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Take this, and open it after a year,¡± Chen Mobai, understanding his character well, sealed up a Foundation Building Pill he had received from the Nanxuan Sect and placed it in a small embroidered pouch to give to him.


    ¡°This¡­ okay,¡± Qi Rui was a little puzzled, but didn¡¯t think too much of it. Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples had also delivered him new wine and rice on a regular basis, so he accepted it directly.


    After delivering the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai suddenly felt that he had nothing more to talk about with Qi Rui and understood why the latter had stopped interacting with him after his Foundation Establishment.


    After a change in their realms, it was indeed difficult to maintain the same heartfelt interactions as before.


    ¡°Feel free to come over for a drink whenever you¡¯re free,¡± Chen Mobai could only leave with that remark and take his leave.


    Before leaving the Divine Wood Sect via the Teleportation Array, his two disciples came to see him off; he told them to look after Qi Rui whenever they had time.


    ¡°Junior Martial Uncle Chen, I hope the next time you come back, you can call me ¡®brother,''¡± Fu Zongjue¡¯s voice reached Chen Mobai¡¯s ears just as the Teleportation Array¡¯s light brightened, clearly he had come over too, but chose not to show himself when he saw the three disciples.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Certainly!¡± Chen Mobai replied earnestly, clutching his fist towards the void and speaking aloud two words.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect did not have a direct Teleportation Array to the East Barbarians, he first went to Huanbo Market, then transferred to Rock Country, and after passing through six consecutive Teleportation Arrays, he finally left the Eastern Wilderness.


    Between the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, there are some rarely trodden mountains and rivers that cultivators need to fly across themselves.


    Chen Mobai left the Formless Puppet behind to replace him at the Golden Crow Immortal City of the Sun Bathing Sea, while he himself activated the Turtle Treasure.


    Upon returning to the Immortal Gate, he immediately applied for his Core Formation with the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

 Chapter 883 - Chapter 883 Chapter 492 The Belief of Core Formation

    Chapter 883: Chapter 492: The Belief of Core Formation Chapter 883: Chapter 492: The Belief of Core Formation Chen Mobai had also considered many options for his Core Formation¡¯s spiritual land.


    Since he was to form his core using the Pure Yang Scroll, the most suitable place for him would naturally be a Fire Vein land.


    Both Danxia City and Crimson Mountain were Fire Attribute Spiritual Lands, highly suitable for him.


    Among them, the spirit vein in Danxia City was particularly suitable due to its core being the Biyu Wutong, which also contained Wood Qi, making it even more compatible with his dual-phase cultivation technique.


    Chen Mobai had thought about forming his core within Cinnabarite Institute, and although its spirit vein level was not as high as Crimson Mountain¡¯s, with the addition of Spirit Stones, it wouldn¡¯t be inferior to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Moreover, forming his core here had another advantage; it would confirm his Enlightenment Path Golden Core achievement.


    It would seem as if he had truly had an epiphany during meditation and had no choice but to form his core in Danxia City, this rural place.


    But upon further consideration, he realized that pride was not beneficial; the land of spiritual veins did help with Core Formation, so he should choose the most suitable place possible.


    With his connections at Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could apply for a Rank-4 Superior Fire Vein.


    Originally, Yan Qiongzhi had been able to form her core by borrowing a Rank-4 Superior Water Vein Cave Dwelling from Jumang Academy through Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s connection.


    Successful experiences were still worth learning from.


    So after Chen Mobai returned, he did not hesitate and immediately called Che Yucheng.


    ¡°You¡¯re preparing for Core Formation?¡±


    Che Yucheng was clearly surprised that Chen Mobai was really going to attempt forming his core without any Golden Elixir Spiritual Material.


    ¡°While meditating, my heart¡¯s spiritual machine activated, and I feel that I can succeed even without the aid of elixirs,¡± Chen Mobai continued to maintain his persona with a statement that left Che Yucheng silent for a long time.


    Is this child¡¯s talent a bit too astonishing?


    ¡°A fourth rank mid-grade Spirit Vein can be arranged at any time, but all the superior ones are currently occupied by the Daoist Academy¡¯s Golden Core Masters. If you can wait, I can try to coordinate that for you,¡± Che Yucheng said.


    Graduates from the Daoist Academy, when attempting Core Formation, can apply for the use of a Rank-4 Spirit Vein from the school.


    Just like when Chen Mobai¡¯s father, Chen Xinglan, reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation and applied for Foundation Establishment support from Red Dawn Institution.


    After all, even cultivators who have established their foundations, at most can only purchase Rank-3 Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Gate.


    And many times, it¡¯s only lower-grade Rank-3, which is definitely insufficient for Core Formation.


    And within the Thirty-six Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands, the most powerful spiritual vein lands are either in schools or institutions, with the latter being closed to the public, so most cultivators who want to form and cement their foundations and core tend to return to their alma mater.


    As a disciple of Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai¡¯s application for Core Formation naturally received a green light.


    But since there were quite a few Golden Core Masters residing in the Red City Mountain Spirit Vein, coordinating for a Rank-4 Superior Spirit Vein would still be necessary.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai was not in a hurry.


    He still had to wait for Meng Huang to reach the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, and he also needed to read and watch materials about Core Formation from the Immortal Gate, to integrate and comprehend them.


    Every practitioner at the Completion of Foundation Establishment will spend one or two years after deciding to form a core, in the adjustment of their own physical body and mindset, accumulating knowledge, and preparing Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine and so on.


    Since he had decided to form his core back at the Daoist Academy, then he naturally would use the best Spirit Vein.


    ¡°I will arrange it as soon as possible,¡± Che Yucheng said.


    Hearing this from Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai voiced his thanks, and then the former mentioned some books about Core Formation, recognized within the Immortal Gate as the most detailed expositions on this advancement process.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai opened the Immortal Gate Network to search for these books.


    He discovered that it was a set of books written collectively by professors from the Daoist Academy, endorsed by the official Immortal Gate, containing detailed content about Core Formation for those with not only the Five Elements properties but also Different Spiritual Roots and multiple compound attributes.


    This set of books could be purchased by any Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    According to the cultivation technique Chen Mobai practiced, he only needed to purchase two volumes of the set.


    However, when he saw that the entire set cost just over a thousand Good Deed Points, he directly placed an order for the entire collection.


    For knowledge that he did not understand, he always preferred to read through all of it once to avoid any omissions or misunderstandings.


    Then he would specialize in his familiar Wood and Fire Attribute.


    Before the books on Core Formation arrived, it was the perfect time for Chen Mobai to bid farewell to his family and friends.


    ¡°Brother, are you really not going to wait for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine?¡±


    As the only person aside from Chen Mobai in the family who had Foundation Establishment, Wang Xinying widened her beautiful eyes in shock upon hearing his plans.


    ¡°I feel my opportunity for Core Formation is within these few years. If I delay further, my Spiritual Power might become purer and my comprehension of the cultivation technique might deepen, but I would definitely lack the determined spirit I have now,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Mobai had just turned forty last year; though he still looked young, the vigor of youth was gradually waning.


    After hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, he also sensed that apart from external factors, one¡¯s state of mind is very important for Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that if he did not succeed in forming his core this time, whether in the Immortal Gate or Tianhe Realm, he would lose his edge and start to fall behind.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Only after forming a core in the Immortal Gate would he qualify to participate in decision-making.


    He could also unlock some of the information about initiating warfare.


    Now, Chen Mobai was concerned that the Different World sensed by the Portal might be Tianhe Realm.


    Though the Immortal Gate had many Divinity Transformation foundations, Tianhe Realm had produced Ascended Monks; if the two realms were indeed to clash, he felt that the Immortal Gate did not stand a good chance.


    Of course, this was only the worst-case scenario.

 Chapter 884 - Chapter 884 Chapter 492 Belief in Core Formation_2

    Chapter 884: Chapter 492: Belief in Core Formation_2 Chapter 884: Chapter 492: Belief in Core Formation_2 Moreover, it would take nearly a hundred years for the portal to detect the proximity to a different world. If he were to succeed in Core Formation by then, he might even be able to attempt ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Apart from initiating warfare, what concerned him about the Immortal Gate was the matter regarding Qing Nu.


    After being warned by Wen Ren Xuewei, during the half-year that Chen Mobai secluded himself in Wangwu Cave Heaven, he also met with Qing Nu a few times.


    As the headquarters of the Sky-Mending Group were also situated in Wangwu Cave Heaven, when she came back to report on her duties, the two, being friends, naturally agreed to meet up for meals and chats.


    With regard to Chen Mobai¡¯s advice as a friend, Qing Nu naturally listened. She said that she would not investigate that matter again until before her Core Formation.


    But according to Chen Mobai, the situation was too complex. It would be best to wait until after ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, one was not guaranteed a 100% success rate in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±. Wouldn¡¯t such advice imply persuading Qing Nu to give up the mystery of her origin and the vengeance for her tragic childhood?


    He felt that even if he were to speak up, Qing Nu would not agree.


    However, at least she had promised to investigate after Core Formation.


    Even as a member of the Sky-Mending Group, Qing Nu would have to wait sixty years if she wanted to undergo Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai felt that for the sake of his friend, he could try to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± before Qing Nu underwent Core Formation.


    However, first and foremost, he must achieve success in Core Formation.


    This was the reason Chen Mobai found for himself to necessitate Core Formation on the side of the Immortal Gate.


    It was unavoidable; only the enigmatic cover-up of Qing Nu¡¯s origins inspired a sense of urgency within him while at the Immortal Gate.


    On the side of the Tianhe Realm, things were somewhat simpler.


    For the sake of his sect, to withstand the oppression of the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace, and for his own cultivation resources, he absolutely had to succeed in Core Formation.


    If unsuccessful, his persona as a peerless genius would crumble¨Cjust thinking about such a social death made Chen Mobai extremely motivated.


    Apart from the grand belief in his sect and resources, Chen Mobai also had a smaller motivation for himself.


    He imagined his little disciple being abducted by an unparalleled master of the Demon Path and if he did not succeed in Core Formation, she would end up being used as a vessel for body-snatching.


    With that thought in mind and recalling Luo Yixuan¡¯s sensible and well-behaved demeanor by his side, Chen Mobai¡¯s motivation for Core Formation became even stronger.


    Protect Qing Nu, defend the sect, save the disciple, maintain his reputation¡­


    With each belief reinforcing the next, Chen Mobai felt his conviction for Core Formation growing increasingly firm.


    He had originally thought that if he failed at Core Formation once, he could try a second time; now, however, his mind was filled with one thought: ¡°I must succeed in Core Formation this time!¡±


    Chen Mobai was now a figure of great authority within his family circle; any decision he made would only garner gentle remarks followed by agreement from his parents.


    Upon deciding to undergo Core Formation, the first thing he did was to restructure the organization of his company.


    ¡°Xinying, after you¡¯ve established your Foundation and while you prepare for civil service exams, you can also serve as the Chief Talisman Guide at the Flying Talisman Factory and help me look after it for a few years,¡± he said.


    His cousin Wang Xinying nodded upon hearing this. She had always looked up to Chen Mobai as her idol and specialized in talismans at the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    This year, she managed to obtain her Rank-2 Talisman Maker certification. Having her in charge of the Flying Talisman Factory meant that at least on the technical side, Chen Mobai no longer had to worry.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m not as skilled as you are with talismans; will I lead your factory downhill?¡± she asked, lacking confidence after agreeing.


    ¡°No worries, little sister. I don¡¯t care much about the profits from that factory, and it doesn¡¯t matter if it runs at a loss. You can also take advantage of the company¡¯s resources for talisman paper and ink for your practice. If you can grow through it, I would be even happier,¡± Chen Mobai reassured her.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s major annual income came from the fully automated puppet factory. To him, the Flying Talisman Factory was merely a resource warehouse for his talisman cultivation.


    Moreover, he was only a Rank-2 Talisman Maker who had once attempted and unfortunately failed the Rank-3 exam while at the Daoist Academy.


    Others thought his failure was due to his dedication to Sword Cultivation, as he was seeking to resonate with the Purple Electric Sword Heart, which supposedly distracted him from his talisman practice.


    But Chen Mobai knew the truth¨Cit was his hard effort that hadn¡¯t paid off.


    To avoid suspicions, he simply hadn¡¯t registered for the exam again since.


    According to the strict standards of the Immortal Gate, since Wang Xinying managed to pass the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, her theoretical knowledge wasn¡¯t far behind Chen Mobai¡¯s. It was just her practical skills in drawing that were lacking.


    A few years of practice at the Flying Talisman Factory could likely narrow the gap between her and Chen Mobai to just those few Rank-3 talismans.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Wang Xinying immediately became joyful and hopped over to stand behind him.


    Her pale fingers clenched into little fists as she started to massage Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°Brother, you are so good to me.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re my sister, who am I good to if not you?¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, motioning Wang Xinying to switch to the other shoulder, and began to enjoy himself quite naturally.


    In the room, besides the siblings, there were also Chen Mobai¡¯s parents, as well as Wang Xinying¡¯s parents.


    ¡°Thank goodness for my nephew¡¯s arrangements; otherwise, Xinying might already be meeting potential suitors.¡±


    The speaker was Aunt Chen Yulan, who looked at Chen Mobai affectionately and kindly, with Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui standing by proudly yet humbly.


    Wang Xinying hadn¡¯t planned on going to the Military Department. If her Foundation Establishment had failed, Chen Yulan had already been arranging for Chen Mobai to introduce her to a disciple from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Now that she had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai, through his connections, had pointed her to a course for the civil service exam.


    If her results were qualified, it would also be up to Chen Mobai to work out connections and see if he could arrange for her to come to Red Sandstone City.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went with his parents to Green Mountain Village, where his grandparents were still in good health.


    There, in this rural village nestled in the mountains, he relaxed his mood and drank carefree for a month.


    When drunk, he thought back to the time he took the Soul Awakening Dao Pill here, the very elixir that established his reputation as a talent.


    Just for this favor alone, he was determined to protect Qing Nu.


    While at Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t forget to go to the Taixu Temple to offer incense.


    He wanted to see if the words Taixu contained any mysteries that he was unaware of.


    Unfortunately, he still came away empty-handed.


    Before leaving Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai wanted to visit the Red-robed True Person. If it weren¡¯t for his Flame Lighting Technique, his transfer to the Pure Yang Scroll wouldn¡¯t have been so smooth.


    However, the Red-robed True Person had been in retreat for twenty years, and Chen Mobai still couldn¡¯t meet him.


    With a sense of regret, Chen Mobai returned to Red City Cave Heaven.


    Although he had the option of staying in Meng Huang¡¯s mountainside villa, to keep their relationship from becoming public knowledge, Chen Mobai chose to stay in his own ordinary two-story wooden cabin.


    He went to the Daoist Academy to see Che Yucheng, who said he had already made contact with Shaoyang Zhenren Qin Beichen.


    ¡°You¡¯re in luck. He has just broken through to the Golden Core Fifth Layer and doesn¡¯t need such a high-ranked Spirit Vein for the time being. Plus, you¡¯re technically his disciple, so after discussing it with him, he agreed,¡± Che Yucheng said.


    Shaoyang Zhenren Qin Beichen!


    Chen Mobai nearly forgot his official mentor at the Academy was this person.


    If it was his Cultivation Cave Dwelling, then naturally, it was the best, since they practiced the same Cultivation Technique.


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it hinder his Cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew the biggest obstacle for a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll to attain ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    ¡°He feels he won¡¯t be able to achieve the Nine Suns Body in his lifetime, so he¡¯s given up on the Pure Yang Scroll and switched to the Scorching Heaven Cultivation instead.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s casually spoken sentence left Chen Mobai stunned on the spot.


    That is¡­ to give up!


    Centuries of effort came to an end as the last Golden Core Master of the Pure Yang Scroll from the Dance Tool Dao Academy also retreated after the long and monotonous Cultivation practice.


    ¡°If you achieve Core Formation, you¡¯ll have to carry the flag for our Academy¡¯s Pure Yang legacy,¡± Che Yucheng said, adding another reason for Chen Mobai to succeed in Core Formation.


    ¡°How much longer before Shaoyang Zhenren emerges from his retreat?¡±


    ¡°Two or three years, I guess. He just had a breakthrough after changing his Cultivation Technique and needs to consolidate his Realm. You¡¯ll have to wait for him,¡± Che Yucheng responded.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    During his waiting period, Chen Mobai began studying the Core Formation scriptures. After spending half a year to thoroughly understand them, he went to the Academy¡¯s library to examine the related documents about Core Formation with the Pure Yang Scroll, ensuring he was completely familiar with the process.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, since he was using the ¡°Formless Puppet¡± for Core Formation, there might be slight differences, so he needed to simulate the process again.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget to use the Void Stone to expand his Domain to its limit.


    After all, if he succeeded in Core Formation, his Domain space could expand tenfold.


    In the second and a half year of waiting for the Dao Academy¡¯s Cave Dwelling, Chen Mobai received more good news.


    Meng Huang had finally broken through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment after taking the Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.

 Chapter 885 - Chapter 885 Chapter 493 Start

    Chapter 885: Chapter 493 Start Chapter 885: Chapter 493 Start ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment,¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s breakthrough naturally occurred by Chen Mobai¡¯s side. Besides his guidance, she had also consumed a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    ¡°Thank you. I finally feel like I¡¯m somewhat useful to you,¡±


    With her eyes open, Meng Huang felt the nearly overflowing liquid spiritual power within her Dantian Qi Sea and revealed a radiant smile, gazing intently at Chen Mobai beside her.


    ¡°If I can reach Core Formation, you will definitely deserve great credit,¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded at the superstar before him, acknowledging her hard work.


    Originally, by his estimate, it would have taken Meng Huang about twenty years to reach the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, but now she had advanced five years ahead of schedule.


    Besides Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, the main reason was Meng Huang¡¯s own arduous effort.


    Within the Immortal Gate, because of the comfortable environment and the sixty-year service requirement for Core Formation, many cultivators do not improve their cultivation realms as rapidly.


    After all, even if one reaches Foundation Establishment Completion, they still have to wait.


    So why the urgency? Isn¡¯t it better to cultivate at ease and breakthrough naturally?


    Therefore, Chen Mobai had great affection for Meng Huang. Over the past decade or so, their relationship gradually evolved from initial transactional partners to sincere friends.


    ¡°I will consolidate my realm. If you need it, I can initiate Core Formation in two months,¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush. Your Mysterious Sound Wonderful Body has just been mastered. Take these spiritual liquids; I¡¯ll go prepare some elixirs to ensure a Core Formation failure won¡¯t harm your body,¡±


    Chen Mobai was still very gentle. He knew Meng Huang wanted to initiate Core Formation only to allow him to listen to the Dao¡¯s celestial music and to help his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion break through to the Golden Dan Level with her Original Yin.


    Having just reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment and without elixirs like the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, it was virtually impossible for Meng Huang to succeed in Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai had considered this issue even before they began Dual Cultivation.


    He had prepared some elixirs in advance to avoid her foundation being damaged should she fail, affecting her future achievements.


    Even though his chances of breakthrough weren¡¯t high either.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you,¡±


    Having just broken through, Meng Huang was exhausted and languidly stretched out her hand to receive a small bottle of Longevity Tree Sap from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is a type of spirit tree spiritual liquid refined by a friend from Jumang Academy using a special method. When infused into the bones, it significantly enhances the strength of the body and vital essence,¡±


    After forming the Longevity Dao Body, Chen Mobai still had 14 drops left, which were far from sufficient for cultivating the second layer of the Dao Body, so he had kept them.


    Meng Huang¡¯s ninth layer Foundation Establishment resulted in the mastery of the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Body, which is also considered body refinement, yet mainly harmonizes the body¡¯s own resonating sinews and bones towards the Dao¡¯s trajectory, producing the heavenly mysterious sound.


    Infusing the Longevity Tree Sap into her body would undoubtedly be beneficial.


    ¡°Such spiritual liquid must be very precious, right? It¡¯s made from the sap of the Great Chun Tree, a more advanced elixir than the Jade marrow pill?¡±


    Meng Huang had taken Jade marrow pills refined from Great Chun Tree sap before. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction to the Longevity Tree Sap, she immediately thought of this.


    ¡°Exactly, I¡¯ll teach you the method of refining it,¡±


    Chen Mobai planned to infuse the Longevity Tree Sap into the bones surrounding Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin. She felt this was appropriate and began to listen carefully to the method of refining.


    Since Meng Huang had just broken through, they waited until three days later before she began refining the first drop of Longevity Tree Sap under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance.


    Although she hadn¡¯t practiced the Longevity Scripture, with Chen Mobai¡¯s assistance through the Flame Lighting Technique, it took her about ten days to refine one drop.


    Nearly six months later, Meng Huang had completely solidified her ninth layer Foundation Establishment realm and had refined all the Longevity Tree Sap, forming the first layer of defense at the key parts of her Mysterious Sound Wonderful Body.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai also received a box of elixirs sent by Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Five Lingzhi Hundred Flower Paste.¡¯ Made from the essence of five different centuries-old Lingzhi mushrooms and a hundred different types of spirit flowers, it is a Rank-3 intermediate grade elixir with an immediate healing effect on any injury to the Essence, Qi, and Spirit,¡±


    Meng Huang took the box of elixirs, and listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, her eyes shimmered with emotion.


    In the Immortal Gate, this was considered the best elixir for recovery after failing Core Formation.


    Only Jumang Academy and Imperial Medical Academy could refine it, each pill costing twenty million Good Deed Points.

    If it weren¡¯t for his relationship with Wen Ren Xuewei, even with money, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t have purchased it.


    ¡°Thank you,¡±


    Meng Huang barely managed to hold back her emotions and thanked him, while Chen Mobai smiled and took out another Rank-3 elixir he had prepared for her.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill.¡¯ I exchanged it with the help of the current president of the Daoist Academy Student Council. It¡¯s specifically for treating Divine Sense injuries. If your breakthrough fails, taking this will ensure that your Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion suffers no damage,¡±


    Chen Mobai was familiar with these two elixirs from the time he was cultivating the Divine Manipulation Technique.


    The Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill was available in the treasury of Dance Tool Dao Academy, with each pill being exchangeable for 120 academic credits.


    Though he had already graduated, he still had significant prestige in the academy, and after authenticating ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± for two years, he had amassed enough credits through the student council¡¯s account to exchange for the Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill.

 Chapter 886 - Chapter 886 Chapter 493 Lets Start_2

    Chapter 886: Chapter 493: Let¡¯s Start_2 Chapter 886: Chapter 493: Let¡¯s Start_2 ¡°`


    He exchanged for two.


    There was also one he prepared for himself.


    Though theoretically dual cultivation with Meng Huang could open up the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to the level of Golden Core Formation, in reality, the success rate was about the same as that of core formation itself. Chen Mobai held out hope, but he was also prepared for failure.


    ¡°If you keep this up, I really will fall in love with you¡­¡±


    Upon seeing the Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t hold back her moved heart any longer and uttered words she would normally never say.


    ¡°I¡¯m just doing what I should,¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a slight smile, not directly responding to her words.


    In his view, Meng Huang had worked hard to cultivate for his sake, even risking a doomed attempt at core formation. If he didn¡¯t prepare an elixir to ensure she wouldn¡¯t suffer any consequences, he would feel a deep sense of guilt.


    Luckily, he had connections that allowed him to obtain these elixirs from Jumang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy, so why not do it?


    ¡°I want to dual cultivate with you right now¡­¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s pretty face flushed, and her eyes sparkled with emotion. She unbuckled the belt clenching her slender waist and her dress gently slipped from her rounded, snow-white shoulders¡­


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai still maintained his rationality.


    He didn¡¯t hastily make use of Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin. After their passionate moment, they chose an auspicious day.


    It was set for the beginning of the next year.


    That is, one month later.


    And the good news kept coming.


    At the end of the year, Shaoyang Zhenren Qin Beichen finally came out of seclusion.


    Upon receiving the news, Chen Mobai immediately went to Che Yucheng¡¯s office.


    ¡°I hope you won¡¯t end up half-hearted like me.¡±


    Qin Beichen sat on the sofa in Che Yucheng¡¯s office, looking at Chen Mobai standing before him, and let out a sigh.


    ¡°I will definitely carry forward the banner of the Pure Yang lineage in the Daoist Academy. I won¡¯t disappoint you, Teacher Qin.¡±


    Chen Mobai was confident in this ¡ª with the backing of the Tianhe Realm and the cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body being only a matter of time, he would not fade into obscurity over the years like Qin Beichen had.


    ¡°This is the key to the cave dwelling, located deep in the Treasure Trove. Since you have achieved Domain, you can directly activate the Void Dao Mark within the key and teleport straight into the cave dwelling.¡±


    Following Qin Beichen¡¯s guidance, Chen Mobai immediately tested it on the spot. Clutching the key in his right hand, a silver light expanded, enveloping the entire office.


    Che Yucheng¡¯s body flashed with the same silver light, repelling it from himself.


    Qin Beichen, however, let the silver light from the key enshroud him, and soon both he and Chen Mobai disappeared from the spot.


    When Chen Mobai opened his eyes, he found himself deep in the Treasure Trove. They were on a black iron island above magma, with the intense fire spiritual power making him feel unbearably hot.


    ¡°Those with Domains can resist the key¡¯s teleportation using their own Power of Void. Let me introduce you to this cave dwelling¡­¡±


    Qin Beichen¡¯s voice rang in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. Unresisting, he had arrived directly.


    The island wasn¡¯t large, and they walked the entire place in five minutes.


    In the center of the island stood a Fire Spirit Tree, and beside it was a black iron-clad house with some shelves and a meditation mat inside ¡ª utterly simple.


    After his pill formation, Qin Beichen had spent a hundred years here.


    Diligently cultivating the Pure Yang Body, yet seeing no end to this path, he ultimately switched to Scorching Heaven Cultivation the second year after Chen Mobai graduated.


    ¡°I admire your decision to form your core without the aid of elixirs. If you succeed, Nascent Soul Formation shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡±


    After touring around, Qin Beichen took Chen Mobai to the edge of the island and, gazing at the bubbling hot magma outside, said something that made Chen Mobai shake his head repeatedly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not really the case; while core formation can rely on talent, Nascent Soul Formation definitely requires resources. Given the hierarchy, I¡¯m afraid it would take me two or three hundred years to get my chance.¡±


    Even an exceptional figure like Nangong Xuanyu didn¡¯t get the Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant Forming Spirit Medicine. After Chen Mobai becomes a governmental cultivator following his pill formation, he would have to wait his turn behind Gongye Zhixu and the three Vice Hall Masters of the sect before he could have a chance at the Three Spirits Pill for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Over the millennia, only those who had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation could skip the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine to overcome this stage.


    ¡°If you can achieve pill formation through enlightenment, and if you wish it, our Dance Instruments Dao Academy will surely support you all-out to acquire Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant Forming Spirit Medicine. I¡¯ve heard you also spent five years studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute. With the support of our two great academies, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible for you to become the Sect Master.¡±


    Qin Beichen¡¯s words filled Chen Mobai with a sudden burst of eager anticipation.


    Unwittingly, he had become one of the cultivators with the deepest backgrounds in the sect.


    Only behind those Divine Descendants.


    Such was the change in status that talent brings!


    But he quickly calmed down.


    All these premises hinged upon his successful core formation.


    He had to form his core.


    And as his determination grew even stronger, Qin Beichen suddenly produced a thumb-sized, sealed glass vial.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The vial was transparent, so Chen Mobai could see a deep purple stream of Qi sealed within.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Although he had a premonition, Chen Mobai still couldn¡¯t quite believe it.


    ¡°This is a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi I¡¯ve condensed. Although it will only be half as effective in aiding your realm breakthrough, it¡¯s the only help I can offer you now.¡±

 Chapter 887 - Chapter 887 Chapter 493 Lets Start_3

    Chapter 887: Chapter 493: Let¡¯s Start_3 Chapter 887: Chapter 493: Let¡¯s Start_3 After Qin Beichen finished speaking, he handed the glass tube to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This¡­ is too precious.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew very well the value of Pure Yang Purple Qi, having attempted to condense it himself in the Tianhe Realm with a Formless Puppet. However, upon estimating the cost, he realized it would take over three million Spirit Stones to condense a complete strand, so he chose to give up.


    With Qin Beichen¡¯s cultivation level, it would still take thirty to forty years to condense a single strand.


    Although Chen Mobai very much desired it, he felt somewhat hesitant to reach out for it.


    ¡°After I switched to practicing Scorching Heaven Cultivation, it is certain I can advance to the Ninth Level of Golden Core, but if I wanted to attempt ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ in the future, the prospects seem dim. If you can succeed in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ or even Divinity Transformation, there might be a chance for you to help me cross that threshold. Consider this an early investment I¡¯m making in you.¡±


    After Qin Beichen made this remark, Chen Mobai was momentarily stunned. He had not expected that a Golden Core Master would be willing to make such an investment in a Foundation Establishment Practitioner like him.


    Especially with something as precious as Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, I won¡¯t force you to accept it.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai still standing there in a daze, Qin Beichen pinched the glass tube as if about to take it back, but the latter immediately extended his hand and took the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    ¡°I will forever remember Teacher Qin¡¯s kindness in my heart,¡± Chen Mobai said solemnly, holding the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    After returning to Che Yucheng¡¯s office, Qin Beichen said a few words before taking his leave.


    ¡°Did he give you the item?¡±


    Che Yucheng asked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Teacher, how did you know?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite curious.


    ¡°Nonsense, I reminded him to do so. Otherwise, do you think his practice-obsessed wooden head would have thought of giving you Pure Yang Purple Qi?¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai took out the glass bottle and shook it slightly.


    ¡°Although this item cannot compare to Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, it can serve as a substitute in its absence. I hope that you can succeed in condensing your Golden Elixir this time¡­¡±


    While Che Yucheng was speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that Chen Mobai could now go into seclusion in the Cave Dwelling to attempt Core Formation, instead of wasting time outside.


    ¡°Teacher, I definitely won¡¯t let you down. The glory of the Daoist Academy will rise further because of me!¡±


    With a tone of determination, Chen Mobai left the office.


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s so hot here!¡±


    Meng Huang, brought to the Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein¡¯s Cave Dwelling by Chen Mobai, immediately felt the surrounding hot air, and beads of sweat formed on her fair skin, making her uncomfortably shed her coat.


    It was winter outside, and she was dressed a bit warmly.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡±


    Chen Mobai came up behind her, gently wrapped his hand around her slender waist, and asked.


    ¡°Mmm, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s body leaned into his naturally, and Chen Mobai, feeling the contours of her back and hips, helped her remove her slightly transparent clothes soaked with sweat.


    Accompanied by a muffled hum, a celestial melody started to play above the magma-covered black island.


    A lush Biyu Wutong tree slowly emerged in the void, with a faint Five-colored Phoenix Phantom circling around it.


    Amid the clear and melodious phoenix song, a blue-green flower blossomed, and the pristine and vast Spiritual Energy turned into droplets of fiery Spiritual Liquid that watered the flower, gradually shaping the outline of a green-red fruit.


    The Spiritual Liquid continued to fall, and the phoenix sound became increasingly intense as the fruit started to take shape.


    However, the fruit¡¯s phantom seemed to lack a critical force, and it couldn¡¯t quite solidify from its spectral state.


    As time passed, the Spiritual Liquid finished pouring, and the five-colored Phoenix turned dimmer and sounded more strained, as if it could no longer fly, settling only to perch and catch its breath on the branches of the Biyu Wutong.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Just as the fruit was about to dissipate into a blur of illusion along with the Biyu Wutong and Phoenix Phantom, a ray of deep purple light brightened from the center of the black island.


    Like a purple pillar carrying endless light and heat, it entered the Biyu fruit.


    At that moment, the five-colored Phoenix sang out its final, jewel-shattering high note.


    ¡°The phoenix cries out as the Kunlun jade shatters, the lotus sheds tears and the fragrant orchid smiles.¡±


    The bottleneck which shackled the fruit¡¯s formation broke in an instant, and Green Paulownia Seedlings bloomed in the void, swiftly transforming into a verdant forest that covered the skies with lush foliage.

 Chapter 888 - Chapter 888 Chapter 494 Core Formation

    Chapter 888: Chapter 494: Core Formation Chapter 888: Chapter 494: Core Formation ¡°`


    I never expected to actually break through.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense left his body, much like a forest of Phoenix Trees rooted in the Void.


    He felt his Divine Sense had expanded three to four times larger than before, like a giant hovering in mid-air who could project a clear image of the island and its surroundings into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion with just a thought.


    Before the breakthrough, Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had reached its limit, and the Divine Sense that grew while listening to Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound could only be stored as Phoenix Tree Fruits.


    But in the instant of the breakthrough, the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion was expanded, and Chen Mobai converted the Divine Sense from these fruits into Green Paulownia Seedlings with the Divine Manipulation Technique. Then, with the power of the breakthrough, they grew vigorously and became this thriving green shade.


    Chen Mobai felt that the limits that once bound him no longer existed at this moment; his Divine Sense could continuously extend outward.


    Five li, ten li, until he reached a range of twenty li, did he finally feel his strength was inadequate.


    At that moment, a weak sigh resounded within his Sea of Knowledge, and Chen Mobai quickly began to retract his Divine Sense, focusing his vision on the source of the sound.


    The Biyu Wutong in the center was lush and bursting with vitality, but the phantom of a Five-colored Phoenix perched powerless on the thickest branch, began to fade and scatter.


    It was Meng Huang!


    Chen Mobai immediately knew who the Five-colored Phoenix was. She pushed the Mystic Sound Method to its extreme through Core Formation, evolving it into a celestial melody that enabled him to hear the harmony of the Dao during the moment of integration.


    It is no wonder that it is considered the Immortal Gate¡¯s foremost supporting Divine Art. The moment Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin transferred into him, it caused Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to shake violently, causing cracks to appear at the bottleneck.


    But a broken bottleneck did not guarantee a successful breakthrough.


    At the most crucial moment, Chen Mobai nearly failed, almost falling back from the brink of the breakthrough, as the opened cracks in the bottleneck began to mend and close.


    Luckily, he previously received the Pure Yang Purple Qi given by Qin Beichen¨Camong them the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to use first.


    With the aid of the Pure Yang Purple Qi, the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion carved open by the celestial melody slowly stabilized, halting the regression, and with the last remaining strength of Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin and Mystic Sound Method, he finally crossed the threshold and broke through the bottleneck completely.


    Chen Mobai succeeded in his breakthrough, but Meng Huang did not.


    The process of her Core Formation was initially meant to assist Chen Mobai in hearing the celestial melody, and at the end, she disregarded her own depletion of Elemental Energy and Divine Sense, singing a high note as a final push to aid Chen Mobai¡¯s breakthrough. As a result, she also announced her own utter failure at Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai noticed the fading phantom of the Five-colored Phoenix and immediately returned his Divine Sense.


    The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Huang collapsed in front of him, her face deathly pale.


    Chen Mobai immediately took the ¡°Five Fungi and Hundred Flowers Ointment¡± and ¡°Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill¡± that were set aside, prised open her cherry lips, and fed them to her.


    Then, he placed his hand on Meng Huang¡¯s smooth snow-white back and circulated the Flame Lighting Technique to help her digest the medicinal power.


    These two Rank-3 elixirs truly were extraordinary.


    Quickly, color returned to Meng Huang¡¯s pallid cheeks, and her previously ragged breathing gradually calmed.


    The Heavenly Fragrance Eight Treasures Pill took effect first, healing all the injuries in Meng Huang¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion that were due to the failed breakthrough. She felt her Divine Sense rapidly recovering, but the Heart and Mind lost in the failed Core Formation could not be restored.


    Externally, this manifested in her eyes, which appeared somewhat lifeless as she opened them.


    ¡°Are you feeling better?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with concern, his hand still resting on her back without letting go, continuing to transmit refined Pure Yang Spiritual Power through the Flame Lighting Technique to help her digest the elixir.


    ¡°My Vital Essence and Spiritual Power have mostly recovered, but I still feel a bit weak,¡±


    Meng Huang spoke truthfully, not trying to be resilient, and just leaned into Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace, her frail appearance arousing his pity.


    ¡°That must be because you¡¯ve lost something important. Rest well; I¡¯ll protect you,¡±


    ¡°Mhm!¡±


    Meng Huang seemed truly exhausted, falling asleep in Chen Mobai¡¯s arms after uttering that word, with him holding her tenderly.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had prepared a bed for his own Core Formation, seeking a superior environment. He took a blanket and covered Meng Huang with it.


    It wasn¡¯t until the third day that Meng Huang, still drowsy, turned over and woke up.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, who hadn¡¯t left her side, sitting by the bed, she gave a sweet smile.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out his hand, intertwined his fingers with hers as she stretched out her right hand, and asked with concern.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°With the elixirs you prepared in advance, I hardly feel the aftermath of the Core Formation failure. But my Elemental Energy and Heart and Mind have taken some damage, and I might need some time to rest and recuperate,¡±


    Meng Huang self-assessed her condition after feeling her own body.


    She never intended to succeed in Core Formation to begin with; after leading Chen Mobai to hear the celestial melody of the Dao, she poured all her Divine Sense and Spiritual Power into playing a final Phoenix¡¯s Song.


    Thus, although she failed in Core Formation, she didn¡¯t suffer severe injuries because she didn¡¯t forcefully attempt the breakthrough.


    Having taken the two elixirs promptly, she would most likely recover within a year or two, and probably no one would be able to tell she had attempted Core Formation once.

 Chapter 889 - Chapter 889 Chapter 494 Core Formation_2

    Chapter 889: Chapter 494: Core Formation_2 Chapter 889: Chapter 494: Core Formation_2 ¡°The fire spiritual power here doesn¡¯t match the properties of your Mystic Sound Divine Method. Although the spiritual energy is abundant, it is not beneficial for your recovery. Let me take you out of here first.¡±


    Chen Mobai had some knowledge of medicine, and combined with his previous use of the Flame Lighting Technique to check her condition, he felt it was better to take her away from here.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    Meng Huang listened and nodded gently in agreement.


    She knew Chen Mobai had truly achieved a breakthrough to the Core Formation realm with the help of the Mystical Sound Divine Method Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. She was fully confident in his ability to form his core without relying on elixirs.


    Now she could completely treat the tender and handsome young man before her as a Golden Core Master.


    So, although she really wanted to be intimate with Chen Mobai again, she obediently let him hold her, and with a flicker of silver light, they had already returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s wooden house using a Short Teleportation Talisman.


    This Short Teleportation Talisman was drawn by Chen Mobai himself. The key to the All Treasure Cave Mansion could only transport people back in one direction, so for the sake of convenience, he had prepared this.


    Now that Meng Huang¡¯s body was frail, it seemed just right.


    Back at the wooden house, Chen Mobai held her as they returned to the villa on the mountaintop.


    ¡°What would you like to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±


    Meng Huang sat on the sofa with sparkling eyes and casually mentioned a few dishes she loved. Chen Mobai immediately went out to buy ingredients.


    [If it could be like this forever, how wonderful that would be.]


    Watching Chen Mobai busy himself in the kitchen for her after returning, Meng Huang suddenly entertained this thought.


    But soon, she shook her head.


    He had his bright future, and she had her own path. If they really became dao companions, they might hold each other back. It was better to maintain the relationship they had now.


    After all, they were both cultivators of the Immortal Gate, and it was best not to consider marriage until their cultivation levels had reached their absolute peak without having hit a bottleneck.


    Thinking this way, Meng Huang¡¯s heart, which had been fluctuating, returned to being calm once more.


    Just then, Chen Mobai came out with a salad.


    She smiled and asked him to feed her, and he naturally treated her with tenderness.


    The two then lived together again in the mountaintop villa for another half year.


    Meng Huang, freed from the constraints of her original Yin, let loose completely, pulling Chen Mobai to various places and thoroughly enjoying their time of relaxation and leisure.


    ¡­


    ¡°The arts troupe has urged me to return.¡±


    One day, as the two embraced on the balcony sofa watching the sunset, Meng Huang pouted and hugged Chen Mobai with some reluctance to part.


    During these six months, she had declined all activities in the entertainment industry, but she couldn¡¯t refuse the troupe¡¯s performances since she was on their staff roster and relied on it for her future access to Golden Liquid Jade Pills.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai actually sighed in relief.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for his cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body, he might have not been able to keep up.


    ¡°Even though you¡¯ve recovered, you should still avoid overexerting yourself.¡±


    However, outwardly, he still showed concern and spoke to Meng Huang with care.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving the day after tomorrow. Let¡¯s not leave the bed for these next two days.¡±


    Meng Huang raised her head, her sleek legs wrapping around as she sat, her dazzling eyes filled with seductive charm¡­


    After listening to Meng Huang¡¯s singing for two more days, Chen Mobai gained a new understanding of his past dream.


    Listening to music every day can be tiring.


    Moderation is key.


    ¡­


    After seeing off Meng Huang, Chen Mobai naturally returned to the All Treasure Cave Mansion.


    It was somewhat embarrassing; Qin Beichen had given him this place for the purpose of forming his core, but after moving in for half a year, he hadn¡¯t seriously practiced cultivation for even a day.


    But there were understandable reasons.


    After all, Meng Huang had made significant sacrifices for him; it wouldn¡¯t be right to send her away without any care as soon as he had his Divine Consciousness Breakthrough.


    He wasn¡¯t that kind of a scoundrel.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai¡¯s guilt for wasting half a year slowly dissipated.


    After all, he hadn¡¯t really been just listening to music during those six months.


    Having broken through to the Core Formation level of his Purple Mansion¡¯s Sea of Knowledge, Chen Mobai certainly needed some time to control the surge in his divine sense.


    And possessing the Mystic Sound Method, Meng Huang was the best helper for him to adapt to it.


    Over that half-year, Chen Mobai had completely refined and assimilated all of the divine sense he had accumulated while helping Meng Huang through the various minor realms of Foundation Establishment.


    By now, his divine sense was fully stabilized at the first layer of the Golden Core.


    Unfortunately, Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation level was already at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment; only when she formally formed her core could she use the Celestial Melodies to help him advance further.


    But that was something to consider after forming the core.


    For now, the most important thing was to truly form his Core.


    Having broken through with the help of Meng Huang¡¯s Sea of Consciousness in the Purple Mansion, Chen Mobai was full of confidence in his own Core Formation.


    He didn¡¯t believe there was anything above this hurdle that could hold him back.


    Taking three months to bring his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the peak, Chen Mobai revisited all his preparations for Core Formation, ensuring there were no issues, and then he took out the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Without any hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.


    Once the elixir entered his body and was transported by him, it quickly descended into his Dantian Qi Sea.


    Then, the vast elixir¡¯s power began to spread out, like an energy tidal wave rushing through his meridians and coursing throughout his entire body.


    The first hurdle of Core Formation: the body begins to transform.


    Suddenly, streaks of red energy began to gather in the sky above the dark island, quickly forming into bright red specks that fell like raindrops toward Chen Mobai, who was sitting in meditative focus at the center.

 Chapter 890 - Chapter 890 Chapter 494 Core Formation_3

    Chapter 890: Chapter 494 Core Formation_3 Chapter 890: Chapter 494 Core Formation_3 This is a Rank-4 Superior Spirit Essence, and in addition to these, there¡¯s also a Spirit Gathering Array laid out with five top-grade Spirit Stones.


    One immense, one pure!


    The two streams of Spiritual Energy met above and below, fusing within Chen Mobai¡¯s body, and under the efficacy of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, they trickled into each and every cell.


    The first to respond was the Fire Spirit Body he had obtained during his Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai felt that the usually imperceptible Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root at his heart also began to awaken during the Core Formation process, as if a warm current flowed through his entire body, granting him sudden enlightenment about the various mysteries of the Fire Spirit Body.


    His understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll deepened at that moment.


    Beyond these, he also gained a unique understanding of the path of fire, which he strongly memorized, transforming it into his knowledge.


    One after another, huge semi-transparent skeletons emerged behind Chen Mobai, and without him noticing, the All Laws Persona had activated.


    Within the Treasure Trove, the immense and majestic fire spiritual power flowed ceaselessly towards the spine, congregating at the heart area on the left side, and gradually, a red vortex about half a meter in diameter took shape.


    In between the hazy outlines, a chamber of the heart along with a crimson blood vessel appeared, the thick vessel extending outwards, connecting with the Five Elements Sword Arms that had already formed, establishing a complete energy circulation pathway.


    As the All Laws Persona harnessed the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and adopted aspects of the Fire Spirit Body, Chen Mobai¡¯s very flesh also underwent the final transformation under the Golden Liquid Jade Pill¡¯s power.


    Streams of vibrant green life force burst forth from within his bone marrow, the yet-to-be-integrated Longevity Tree Sap that, during the Core Formation process, was most thoroughly refined.


    The moment his fleshly body completed its transformation, the first layer of Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Dao Body was perfected, saving him the decade of vitality imbuement that would have otherwise been necessary to enhance his physical vitality.


    Meanwhile, as the fire spiritual power surged, the second chamber of the heart within the All Laws Persona began to form, with even a hint of green light appearing.


    This was the Wood Attribute liver, corresponding to the ambiance of his fully realized Longevity Dao Body.


    However, because the Wood spiritual power here was insufficient, inside the All Laws Persona it merely lit up, flickered twice, and then failed to materialize.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind it; he let the All Laws Persona draw upon the rich fire spiritual power here to consolidate the heart, while he himself prepared to extract the two great Spiritual Powers stored within the spinal Void, commencing the second step of the Core Formation.


    Once again, he reviewed the contents of Core Formation in the Pure Yang Scroll and the Dual Polarity Technique in his mind, gaining new insights under the enhancement of the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    Unfortunately, the Core Formation process had already begun, leaving no time for him to savor these moments.


    He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands in a Tai Chi Decree.


    His left hand enveloping the right, palms facing inward, soon, patterns of a green and red Yin Yang fish revolving around his palms emerged, extending to cover his entire body and the majority of the All Laws Persona.


    The green was the Longevity Spiritual Power, and the red was the Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    At this time, there was a subtle balance between the two Spiritual Powers, as Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense acted as a barrier separating them, like the ¡°Yi¡± character that marks a boundary!


    ¡°Twenty-two years since the Foundation Establishment, and finally, I¡¯ve reached this step!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed softly, then released his Divine Sense.


    As the Longevity Spiritual Power and Pure Yang Spiritual Power met, the well-practiced Dual Polarity Technique began to operate!


    The originally vibrant Longevity Spiritual Power, like firewood, merged into the Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Like oil poured on fire, in that instant, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power exploded with a dazzlingly brilliant red radiance.


    The green half of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram started to dim, while the red half rose like the morning sun, shining with an unprecedented brightness.


    The light was as bright as a flame, the flame like the rising sun!


    A speck of golden light began to shine at the heart of the sun.


    Black crows turn to gold, hares transform into jade, a mere grain in the three realms.


    The mountains and rivers, years of dust, Yin Yang reversing entering the profound valley.


    Chen Mobai recited the Core Formation contents of the Pure Yang Scroll, controlling the newly formed speck of golden light with his post-breakthrough Divine Sense.


    The moment his Divine Sense probed into it, he felt as if he had sunk into water, an omnipresent resistance giving him a sense of being wrapped in constriction.


    This was the Gold Core level Pure Yang Spiritual Power!


    Indeed very powerful¨Cif Chen Mobai had not experienced a Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, he likely would have been unable to control this power.


    Even now, as the Pure Yang Spiritual Power continued to draw in the Longevity Spiritual Power to grow, the golden speck of light began to expand, and he gradually felt overwhelmed.


    It was as if something unspeakable, invisible, yet heavy was pressing on his shoulders; each step he took felt more burdensome.


    Fortunately, this burden was still bearable for him, for now.


    This was the advantage of the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough.


    Without it, Chen Mobai probably would have ended up just as Chen Chun said¨Cfailing to control the Gold Core stage Spiritual Power and falling short at the last hurdle.


    However, as time progressed and particularly as the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was about to fully materialize into a Gold Core the size of a thumb, Chen Mobai felt increasingly taxed.


    ¡°Fortunately, not much of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill¡¯s power was expended earlier.¡±


    With that thought, the remaining seventy percent potency of the golden-colored elixir within Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea began to dissolve into an exceedingly gentle medicinal power.

    Chen Mobai used two tenths of this power to aid in the Spirit Power Forming Core, while the remaining five plus tenths were funneled into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Like sweet dew, the woodland of Divine Sense began to ripen as the Golden Liquid Jade Pill¡¯s power poured in, and soon, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, combined with the Divine Manipulation Technique, broke through again, leaping from the Gold Core first layer to the second layer.


    Truly worthy of a Rank-4 Elixir!


    As he reflected, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power had completely devoured all of the Longevity Spiritual Power, and with that additional two tenths of the elixir¡¯s strength, a dazzling, thumb-sized Gold Core, shining like the sun, was formed.


    The Spirit Power Forming Core process went without a ripple, as naturally as water flows into a channel.

 Chapter 891 - Chapter 891 Chapter 495 The pill enters the stomach

    Chapter 891: Chapter 495: The pill enters the stomach, extraordinary, Yin Yang stripped away to transform into Pure Yang Chapter 891: Chapter 495: The pill enters the stomach, extraordinary, Yin Yang stripped away to transform into Pure Yang Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The students, who were in the middle of a class, suddenly felt a slight tremor and exchanged glances in confusion.


    Ma Xiaoming, who was lecturing at the podium, also put down his textbook and looked up towards the direction of the Treasure Trove with a puzzled expression.


    Fortunately, the disturbance didn¡¯t last long, and the presence of the Nascent Soul Superior headmaster in the Daoist Academy meant nobody was overly concerned.


    ¡°Class, let¡¯s continue. Turn your textbooks to¡­¡±


    Ma Xiaoming cleared his throat. He had just spoken a few words when the slight disturbance suddenly returned.


    This time, he could not ignore it.


    After leaving a message to self-study, he walked out of the classroom.


    It wasn¡¯t just him; teachers from the neighboring classrooms also came out, and after exchanging looks, none of them had any answers.


    Just as he was about to call the academic director, Che Yucheng had already sent a message in the teacher¡¯s group chat.


    [Recently, a graduate within our school is undergoing Core Formation, drawing upon the spiritual energy from Crimson Mountain, which may cause some effects. There¡¯s no need to worry. Continue with classes as usual.]


    After seeing this message, everyone couldn¡¯t help showing a look of astonishment.


    Recently, there hadn¡¯t been any news about someone obtaining the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    Even for switching out a Five Elements Golden Core Pill at the Immortal Gate, one had to wait in line.


    I don¡¯t know how many individuals at the Foundation Establishment Completion are watching closely, and if the person who exchanges isn¡¯t convincing enough, it could lead to a collective incident.


    ¡°Could it be that someone is nearing their peak period and, unable to wait for the Gold Core Spiritual Material, has begun Core Formation on their own?¡±


    A mature-looking female teacher, with her thoughtful nature, considered a possibility.


    ¡°Even so, we should have heard at least a whisper of news.¡±


    The teachers here generally covered all students taught in the Dance Tool Dao Academy over the last sixty years, but after contacting several potential candidates, all had denied attempting Core Formation.


    ¡°At the end of last year, I saw that top student of the Dao Academy in Director Che¡¯s office.¡±


    At this moment, a male teacher suddenly spoke up with a comment that struck the others as odd.


    ¡°Which top student?¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had many top students; sometimes, they even changed twice a year.


    ¡°The most famous one in the last sixty years, the one who renewed the glory of the Dao Academy.¡±


    With that clarification, everyone understood.


    Though there were many top students in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, only one had such an achievement.


    ¡°If it¡¯s him, then it makes sense.¡±


    Having heard this, the teachers nodded and began to chatter amongst themselves.


    Chen Mobai, as the most exceptional graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the past sixty years, could certainly have arranged to be an Immortal Gate civil servant if he wished.


    But he didn¡¯t do so.


    Instead, he went straight home after graduation and secluded himself in a third-rate institution, bitterly cultivating and honing his essence, qi, and spirit.


    According to those close to him, he planned to achieve Core Formation through enlightenment without the aid of elixirs.


    If it were someone else, they would surely be ridiculed for overestimating themselves.


    But if that person was Chen Mobai, then nearly one-quarter of people believed he could succeed.


    After all, this was a candidate for Divinity Transformation!


    And after Chen Mobai successfully established his Golden Core Domain, another quarter of people switched sides from disbelief, becoming ¡°talent fans.¡±


    If there was anyone in the Immortal Gate who could achieve Core Formation solely through talent, it would undoubtedly be him!


    ¡°The influence on the earth¡¯s veins is starting, clearly indicating a critical moment in Core Formation, as he begins to draw a large amount of spiritual energy from Crimson Mountain; it seems he really might succeed,¡± said the oldest teacher with a sigh. Having lived over a hundred years and attempted Core Formation with a Fire Elemental Gold Core Pill, only to fail, he was quite familiar with the Core Formation process.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s all return to teaching; who knows, in these upcoming cohorts, there might be someone else with the qualifications for divinity transformation waiting for us to guide and discover.¡±


    After expressing his sentiment, he waved at the Daoist Academy¡¯s teaching assistants and headed back to his classroom first.


    Once everyone had trickled back to their classrooms, Ma Xiaoming was still standing there in a daze.


    He remembered when he first met Chen Mobai.


    It was in the waiting hall of the Red City Cave Heaven train station along with Meng Huang, the big star.


    At that time, as a formally enrolled student of the Dao Academy, he had looked down on both of them.


    Chen Mobai was admitted to the academy by a narrow margin thanks to an expansion of enrollment, in Ma Xiaoming¡¯s eyes, both Chen Mobai and Meng Huang, who had entered the academy through connections, were the same. In his view, they were just wasting resources.


    However, by the fourth year, he was proven wrong.


    Chen Mobai had achieved Foundation Establishment, even faster than Ma Xiaoming, his senior, and it was of the highest quality: Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment.


    At that time, Ma Xiaoming was somewhat unwilling to accept this, but he had come to recognize Chen Mobai¡¯s qualifications as a Dance Tool Dao Academy student.


    At least he was more legitimate than Meng Huang, the art student.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This incident motivated Ma Xiaoming; he felt he could not allow his junior to surpass him by too much and was determined to achieve Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, so as not to fall behind in the subsequent realms.


    Yet, just two or three years later, Ma Xiaoming convinced himself that ordinary people should not compare themselves to geniuses.


    And now, Chen Mobai was already undergoing Core Formation.


    Reflecting on the past, Ma Xiaoming felt his own insight was too shallow, to have once vainly hoped to compete with such a once-in-an-era genius with the qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Alas, who knows when I will be able to attempt Core Formation,¡± he sighed.

 Chapter 892 - Chapter 892 Chapter 495 The Pill Enters the Stomach

    Chapter 892: Chapter 495: The Pill Enters the Stomach, Extraordinary, Yin Yang Stripped to Transform into Pure Yang_2 Chapter 892: Chapter 495: The Pill Enters the Stomach, Extraordinary, Yin Yang Stripped to Transform into Pure Yang_2 Ma Xiaoming was also considered average within the Daoist Academy. After graduation, lacking suitable job vacancies, he decided to stay and slowly accumulate seniority in exchange for a Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    He did not seek shortcuts or use elixirs, choosing to form his core autonomously instead.


    Therefore, knowing that Chen Mobai had accomplished such a courageous feat, the last bit of discontent in his heart completely vanished, leaving only utter admiration.


    After returning to the classroom, he did not start the lesson right away, but instead began to talk about Chen Mobai, the outstanding alumnus of their academy.


    And the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation quickly spread.


    After all, with so many people in the Dance Instruments Dao Academy, there would always be some who boasted about their own chief senior brother with pride.


    Core Formation is a major milestone!


    Within the Immortal Gate, Golden Core Masters could enter the Kaiyuan Hall and possess the right to vote on major matters of the sect.


    Once successful in Core Formation, one becomes part of the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate.


    The total number of council members in the entire Kaiyuan Hall, excluding retirees like Che Yucheng, was only three hundred seventy-four.


    These people, along with the fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors, formed the Three Great Halls of the sect, governing the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.


    Therefore, when Chen Mobai formed his core autonomously without the aid of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, it immediately set off a buzz within the sect, causing even more commotion than Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s beta release of the ¡°Realm Treasure¡±.


    Some people thought he would surely fail, while others believed that a candidate for Divinity Transformation wouldn¡¯t be stopped at the mere checkpoint of Core Formation.


    ¡­


    In the depths of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai was completely unaware of the outside clamor.


    Before his Core Formation, he had already put his mobile phone and other unrelated items into his Domain.


    Having ingested the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, he was fully engrossed in the transformation of his essence, qi, and spirit.


    Just as he predicted, due to his thorough preparation, his Core Formation proceeded without any hitches, and a shimmering Gold Core took form within his Dantian Qi Sea.


    The Gold Core was spherical with hints of purple-gold glistening on it.


    Probably because it had just taken shape, this Gold Core was a bit unstable, but Chen Mobai had long anticipated and understood this process.


    In practice, he had already succeeded in forming his core. What was left was to consolidate it and refine it patiently, requiring vast amounts of nature¡¯s spiritual energy to impregnate the core inside and out and crystallize it into a Purple Gold Pill.


    During this time, all sorts of illusory Heart Demons would arise within the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, impacting the full physical formation of this Gold Core.


    However, he had long been prepared for this as well.


    Chen Mobai cracked a slight smile as he gently operated the Gold Core with his newly breakthrough Divine Sense, coaxing it to slowly spin.


    The dense fire spiritual power surrounding him gathered into a rainbow light, and under the compression of his Divine Sense, it transformed into droplets of clear Spiritual Liquid, slowly falling into the Gold Core.


    At the same time, one of the top-grade Spirit Stones near Chen Mobai cracked open with several fissures.


    Waves of utterly pure Spiritual Energy rose like mist, converging with the fiery Spiritual Liquid in unity, resembling the harmonious fusion of water and fire, softly tempering and forging the Gold Core.


    Grasp the principle of union, forge the Gold Core, let water and fire steam their way through a hundred barriers.


    Achieve a Purple Gold Pill, to change and soar through the heavens and earth for ages.


    The mantras of Core Formation from the Pure Yang Scroll emerged word by word in his mind, and those bits of Liquid Spiritual Power inside the Gold Core, not yet fully solidified, began to converge during this process, as streaks of Zixia-like patterns on the pill emerged.


    If this process continued for a hundred days, Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation would be deemed complete, his realm fully consolidated, never to regress again.


    It was fortunate that this place was a Rank-4 Superior Spirit Vein, and that he himself had a good number of top-grade Spirit Stones; otherwise, this phase would have lasted at least a year and a half.


    It was during this process that Crimson Mountain began to tremble slightly from time to time.


    Just then, everything before Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes darkened, and he suddenly found himself back in his high school classroom.


    ¡°Got too wild during the holiday, sleeping in class? I¡¯ve been diligently cultivating for the sake of the college entrance exam over the break, and now I¡¯ve already reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    His deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, woke him up and proudly showed his personal panel to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you went temple visiting with your mom over the holiday?¡±


    After seeing the panel, Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question that made Lu Hongsheng¡¯s face change, then, somewhat surprised, he nodded.


    ¡°How did you know? You might not believe it, but I got injured by a stone ruler and ended up hospitalized for half a month¡­¡±


    Lu Hongsheng¡¯s words were cut off halfway as Chen Mobai suddenly laughed.


    ¡°What are you laughing at?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was a bit irritated, feeling that Chen Mobai was being disrespectful, but the latter did not explain. He stood up, ignoring the head teacher who was speaking on stage, and walked to the front, facing the familiar yet distant faces.


    Song Zheng, Pu Jiangxue, Yu Shu, Lu Hongsheng, Mo Simin¡­


    ¡°Chen Mobai, what are you doing? Get back to your seat now!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he scanned everyone, the head teacher Chai Deyun¡¯s irritated voice rang in his ears.


    Chen Mobai, however, completely disregarded him. A long, melodious peal of a bell echoed in his mind, allowing him to see the truth and see through the illusions.


    ¡°Is this what a Heart Demon is?¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, his eyes meeting Yan Bingxuan¡¯s. Under her slightly furrowed brows and her cold yet curious gaze, he burst into hearty laughter.


    ¡°What are you trying to do? Have you lost your mind?¡±

 Chapter 893 - Chapter 893 Chapter 495 The Pill Enters the Belly No Ordinary

    Chapter 893: Chapter 495: The Pill Enters the Belly, No Ordinary Event, Yin Yang Completely Peels Away to Become Pure Yang_3 Chapter 893: Chapter 495: The Pill Enters the Belly, No Ordinary Event, Yin Yang Completely Peels Away to Become Pure Yang_3 At this moment, the homeroom teacher Chai Deyun couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. He walked over and reached out to pull Chen Mobai back to his seat.


    But as Chai Deyun pulled, Chen Mobai remained still, as if they were people from two different dimensions, unable even to make contact.


    The clear and melodious ringing of the bell began faintly in the distance and grew louder and more majestic as it approached.


    The classroom, the teachers, the classmates in front of Chen Mobai began to crack, gradually turning into dreamy, illusory bubbles and starting to fade away.


    ¡°Why are you¡­¡±


    The last to disappear was naturally Yan Bingxuan. As Chen Mobai¡¯s closest friend among all his high school classmates, her face bore an incredulous look; as reality cracked and turned illusory, she reached out her hand, trying to grasp the only intact Chen Mobai.


    Unfortunately, as she struggled to make her way halfway, the bell reached its climax, and after a wave of ripples, all the scenery turned into an illusion and vanished.


    Chen Mobai retracted his raised right hand with a bit of regret; he had intended to shake hands with Yan Bingxuan at the end.


    ¡°Heart Demons, are nothing more than this.¡±


    With illusions fading away, Chen Mobai returned to the Treasure Trove, shaking his head slightly.


    He had seen through this minor scene from the beginning.


    In the Immortal Gate, the research on Heart Demons is also extremely thorough.


    They are all the negative emotions like darkness, worry, and guilt accumulated in the cultivator¡¯s heart, which would erupt violently when breaking through a major realm. If one indulged in them for a long time, it would affect the condensing of the Gold Core outside.


    Those with a firm mind would naturally be able to see through the fog on time and get past this hurdle.


    And cultivators who always act with a clear conscience wouldn¡¯t even have a Heart Demon.


    Chen Mobai, being cautious and harboring great secrets, indeed had a Heart Demon.


    However, under the specific targeting of the bell of his life-bound Legal Treasure, he managed to break free quite easily.


    But since he had many things to worry about, after breaking free from the first illusion, another negative emotion in his heart began to evolve within the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    This time, it was Qing Nu being caught by the Immortal Gate, after she tried to save Kong Feichen, who had been arrested by the Sky-Mending Group after sneaking into Di Yuan Star¡­


    Chen Mobai, as the one Qing Nu sought help from, would naturally not betray his own heart and decisively took action to help.


    Since it was within an illusion of the Heart Demon, he feared no consequences and simply triggered the situation in the illusion to the most intense.


    After a great battle, he managed to kill Lan Haitian with difficulty and was about to flee with Qing Nu when they encountered Master Chengxuan, who arrived in person to clean house¡­


    At the sound of the bell, he woke up once again, his face full of satisfaction.


    Indeed, Lan Haitian was no match for him under equal realms.


    After this illusion, he became interested in the third Heart Demon and wanted to see what else he was usually worried about.


    This time, it was Turtle Treasure being discovered by the Immortal Gate; without a second thought, at the first sign of danger, he straight away fled to the Tianhe Realm¡­


    The fourth, Turtle Treasure was discovered by the Eastern Earth Holy Land in the Tianhe Realm; without further ado, he returned to the Immortal Gate, presented this Exotic Treasure to Ancestor Baiguang of his Dao Palace, and then led the Immortal Gate Army to wage war, painting the Eastern Region with rivers of blood¡­


    The fifth, parents and friends died¡­


    The sixth, the little disciple who had been missing for a long time returned suddenly, ascended the Divine Wood Sect, sought to slaughter the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, and prove his ruthless path of the Demon¡­


    The seventh, Zhou Shengqing failed at Nascent Soul Formation, and Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s army bore down¡­


    You never know until you try, and it¡¯s startling when you do.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even realize he was worried about so many things.


    With the Morning Bell¡¯s assistance, after combing through his negative emotions within, his mind became clear and unobstructed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And quickly, the hundredth day arrived.


    On this day, the Gold Core was completely saturated, unable to absorb even a hint of the world¡¯s spiritual energy, and it burst forth with a purple-gold radiance, resembling a purple sun. Chen Mobai swallowed it, and it settled in the very center of the Dantian Qi Sea.


    Upon swallowing the core, ordinary no more, Yin Yang stripped bare to become Pure Yang.


    From then on, he was a Golden Core Master!


    Chen Mobai felt his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, now more than eight times stronger than before, and couldn¡¯t hold back the joy in his heart, bursting into loud laughter.

 Chapter 894 - Chapter 894 Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit

    Chapter 894: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit Chapter 894: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit After Core Formation, besides the transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, another key aspect is the expansion of one¡¯s domain.


    It was precisely when the Gold Core entered Chen Mobai¡¯s belly that he felt the Power of Void around him materialize out of thin air, like a torrent of energy, infinitely pouring into his domain.


    He had no idea where this Power of Void came from, but unlike usual, there was no need to shatter and refine it, as it simply merged into the domain like that extracted from Void Mysterious Stone, pure and gentle.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether he should intercept this extremely pure Power of Void and reroute it onto his All Laws Persona.


    He felt that this Power of Void was sufficient to completely form all the spinal dragons within his All Laws Persona.


    But after careful consideration, he decided against it.


    The reason being that after his Core Formation, he owned a one-third share in the Void Mysterious Stone Mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge under the Divine Wood Sect, promising plentiful time and resources to cultivate his All Laws Persona in the future.


    The spontaneously generated Power of Void was possibly intended for the elevation of his domain, and its use on the All Laws Persona might consequently lead to innate deficiencies in his domain.


    Having thought it through, Chen Mobai began to fully immerse himself within his domain.


    What was originally a two-cubic-meter microcosm containing nothing but a simple meditation cushion and a shelf,


    upon which lay a mobile phone, a Spirit Stone book, and miscellaneous items, with a stack of talisman paper and two jars of Spiritual Wine in the corner,


    now expanded slowly as the vast Power of Void surged in. The previously cramped space felt like a closet designed for one was suddenly opened up, its walls removed, revealing a spaciousness.


    Time passed unknowingly, and the initially seemingly infinite Power of Void abruptly began to diminish until it turned into a trickle and at last completely disappeared.


    Chen Mobai sensed this change and immediately opened his eyes to survey his surroundings.


    Where there was once a 2 cubic meter domain, it had expanded to 20 cubic meters.


    Even just by its volume, it could be considered a small room.


    With a thought, Chen Mobai adjusted the height of the domain to two meters and its length and width to ten square meters, perfectly matching the size of his own room in Red Sandstone City.


    Satisfied, he took items like the wooden bed from the Treasure Trove and began to arrange them simply within the space.


    This domain could store inanimate objects and sustain living creatures; it was nearly a true microcosm, akin to a combination of the storage bag and the Spirit Beast Bag of Tianhe Realm, lacking only in Spiritual Energy.


    Originally, due to the small space, Chen Mobai used it solely as a secondary Storage Bag.


    Now that the domain had expanded tenfold following the breakthrough of Core Formation, he felt it could be tidied up a bit to serve as a portable Cave Dwelling.


    The first issue to address was the lack of Spiritual Energy.


    The Immortal Gate had methods to artificially cultivate Spirit Veins, requiring a type of Spiritual Object to suppress the domain¡¯s core, like a Third Rank Superior Grade Tea Tree prepared by Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Chen Mobai intended to transplant the Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain, although that would have to wait until Zhuo Ming mastered the Kindwood Mantra to the third rank.


    Should that fail, he could settle for a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree from Giant Tree Ridge.


    While each Rank-3 Spirit Tree was extremely important to the Divine Wood Sect, connected to the sect¡¯s Large Formation and ley lines, and virtually considered a sect treasure, Chen Mobai would face no opposition if he returned to handle this matter after Core Formation.


    If he had sufficient Cultivation Level to transplant a Rank-4 Spirit Wood, Chen Mobai would have even considered moving the Divine Trees from the Divine Tree Secret Realm that the Longevity Sect left behind.


    The Great Dao Tree would be ideal, visibly extraordinary and likely Fourth Grade Superior, or it might have even been Rank-5 originally.


    Alas, it was unmovable.


    Last time, he had nearly been absorbed by the Great Dao Tree and transformed into a Saint Embryo. It was fortunate that he had the help of the Purple Electric Sword to escape¡­


    Thinking of the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression shifted.


    Amidst flickering purple radiance, the ancient-looking Sword Artifact was already in his palm.


    [Eh, Master, have you formed your Gold Core?]


    After the Purple Electric Sword acknowledged its master, its will became interconnected with Chen Mobai, achieving the Sword Cultivators¡¯ long-sought-after state of ¡°Clear Heart of Sword.¡±


    Thus, when Chen Mobai held it, the sword let down all barriers, allowing his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense to thoroughly permeate it.


    Subsequently, a totally different sensation flooded the sword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If previously the Purple Electric Sword felt like a child holding it, each time having to contain itself to match him, now it felt as if it was being wielded by a youth who was beginning to grasp the feeling.


    The sword quivered, and half of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power suitable for the Golden Core Stage within Chen Mobai was drawn out immediately, followed by an earth-shattering purple thunder that lit up the skies above the black island. It resembled a piercing, violet beam that subdued the flow of Spiritual Energy within a ten-mile radius.


    ¡°Enough, enough, I know you¡¯re strong, don¡¯t draw anymore!¡±


    Feeling the emptiness in his Dantian Qi Sea, Chen Mobai promptly spoke up to stop the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s urge to continue.


    [Oh, sorry, it¡¯s been a long time since I felt this refreshed.]


    Ever since it was placed within the Mountain and Sea Academy, the Purple Electric Sword hadn¡¯t been able to revel in the exhilarating feeling of drawing power from its master to display its might, having to save every bit of Spirit Stone energy around it for fear of running out before a new one was added.

 Chapter 895 - Chapter 895 Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_2

    Chapter 895: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_2 Chapter 895: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_2 ¡°`


    This time, Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation was successful, which allowed the long-suppressed sword spirit to no longer hold back and relish a truly exhilarating feeling.


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve formed my core, under our unity of man and sword, what realm of cultivator can we defeat at the highest level?¡±


    After setting down the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai asked about the issue he cared about most.


    Being cautious by nature, even after achieving Core Formation, he felt the need to gauge his upper limit of strength before emerging from seclusion.


    [Golden Core cultivators below the fourth layer can essentially be defeated with a single sword strike. Those between the fourth and sixth layers depend on the opponent¡¯s quality, and it might take several strikes. Encountering anyone above the seventh layer means you basically can¡¯t defeat them in an instant, and your spiritual power won¡¯t last too long. Avoid them if possible.]


    The Purple Electric Sword gave a very precise assessment because it had once followed Master Qingshi through hundreds of battles, most of whose opponents were Golden Core Masters.


    After all, once Nascent Soul formation is achieved, one becomes a huge figure in the Immortal Gates, and no one dares to challenge.


    ¡°Then in your opinion, without using your help, what level could I possibly reach?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, as the Purple Electric Sword shook, as if it were shaking its head.


    [I can¡¯t tell. You need to prove it by fighting yourself. Isn¡¯t Little Red Sky open? Just find some Golden Core Masters for a few magic duels.]


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it made sense. Little Red Sky, after a decade of testing, had also opened up a magic duel ranking for the Golden Core level.


    Previously, Chen Mobai had held the number one rank in the Foundation Building Realm for several years, but later, being preoccupied with other matters and losing interest in the top ranking, he became lax about accumulating points after the update and nearly forgot about Little Red Sky.


    Now having just formed his core, it was the perfect opportunity to hone his skills in the online magic duel arena.


    The only concern was whether it would damage his unbeatable image in magic duels in the eyes of the Immortal Gate¡¯s general public.


    After all, having just formed his core, he certainly couldn¡¯t defeat those seasoned Golden Core Masters.


    Maybe¡­ start by trying out with some cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment?


    Being at the first layer of Golden Core, he would perfectly match up against those at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai thought of Elder Qingping, his idol, who was a proponent of the Sect of Realms. He felt this plan was very steady, capable of both training himself and tempering the future of the Immortal Gate.


    However, the most important thing now was to announce his emergence.


    He had formed his core!


    This news definitely had to be publicized so the whole Immortal Gate would know.


    Years of cultivation were all for this moment!


    Chen Mobai turned on his phone with a sense of achievement, and messages alongside missed calls started popping up. After reading them, he realized that the news of his core formation had already spread throughout the Immortal Gate from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After selectively reading some messages, Chen Mobai thought of his promise to Yan Bingxuan, whom he had agreed to inform first after his core formation.


    However, when he called, no one answered, probably busy with Yuanqi system experiments.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind it and flew up from the Black Gold Stamp-imbued black island enriched by a fourth-grade superior spirit vein.


    Previously, he had directly used a Short Teleportation Talisman to return to his cabin outside the academy.


    But now that he had formed his core, he could move freely in the depths of the Treasure Trove; even more so after awakening his Fire Spirit Body, it felt like relishing a sauna, his body refreshed and blood invigorated.


    Chen Mobai even had the urge to jump into the magma for a bath, but that was just a fleeting thought.


    Releasing the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± he sat on it and took out the key given by Qin Beichen, activating the restrictions of the island below and sealing it.


    Although only the Golden Core Masters from the Dance Tool Dao Academy could enter the depths of the Treasure Trove, the necessary protections still had to be in place.


    After doing all this, Chen Mobai flew towards the ground.


    Halfway through his flight, though, he realized he was not far from where Duanmu Longrong was and decided to take a detour to greet this vice-principal who had once helped him select the ¡°Morning Bell.¡±


    The depths of the Treasure Trove consisted of islands made of pure iron, each serving as a fourth-grade cave dwelling of the Daoist Academy.


    Among them, Duanmu Longrong¡¯s island was the richest in spiritual energy and the largest in size. With the Vermillion Fruit Tree dominating the landscape, the island¡¯s spirit vein had reached the level of a fifth-order lower-grade.


    As Chen Mobai arrived above the island, Duanmu Longrong stayed inside her house without coming out. After waiting for a long time with no response, he could only shout.


    ¡°Student Chen Mobai greets Teacher Duanmu!¡±


    ¡°Eh? Why is it you?¡±


    A surprised voice came from within the stone house, and a lady with fiery red hair flew out with a skeptical look, casting her gaze at Chen Mobai with disbelief.


    She had already sensed the arrival of a Golden Core Master outside her dwelling and thought it was a colleague from the Daoist Academy waiting to speak with her; she did not expect it was Chen Mobai who called out from above.


    For this star graduate of the academy of the past century, she naturally had a vivid recollection.


    If she recalled correctly, was this boy not even twenty years out from graduation?


    How had he achieved Core Formation so swiftly?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Did he receive sponsorship from a Divinity Transformation family with a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill?


    Or¡­ did he, like the Head of Immortal Affairs, achieve a Comprehension Path Golden Core?


    As Duanmu Longrong gazed in awe, Chen Mobai had already stored the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and descended gracefully, bowing courteously towards her.


    ¡°Last time, the principal helped me refine the Morning Bell, and I owe a lot to Teacher Duanmu for providing the Black Gold Stamp. It¡¯s precisely with the help of this Lifespan Artifact that I was able to easily overcome the Heart Demon, and I have come to express my gratitude.¡±

 Chapter 896 - Chapter 896 Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_3

    Chapter 896: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_3 Chapter 896: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_3 Chen Mobai was truly sincere in what he had said.


    Duanmu Longrong had also recovered from her shock by now, and as she looked at the handsome youth before her, she couldn¡¯t help but click her tongue in amazement.


    ¡°So it was you who caused the tremors in the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein for over a year. Here I was, thinking that the head of our academy had made a breakthrough in his cultivation,¡± she said.


    There¡¯s a small world within the Treasure Trove that resembles a serene minor realm, home to the most precious spirit plants and minerals that Dance Tool Dao Academy has collected over thousands of years. It¡¯s also the location of a Fifth-Order Lower-Grade Spirit Vein and where Master Chengxuan goes into seclusion.


    When Nascent Soul Cultivators break through minor realms, they too can trigger such phenomena, only on a grander scale. However, once isolated by a minor world, the effect on the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein becomes similar to that of Core Formation.


    ¡°When I was cultivating in my hometown, I felt the opportunity for a breakthrough was upon me, so I returned to the Daoist Academy to give it a try, and to my surprise, I actually succeeded,¡± Chen Mobai explained humbly in front of the elders.


    He had always been a very modest child in the presence of these seniors.


    ¡°Now I¡¯m starting to believe you really have the Qualification of Deification,¡± said Duanmu Longrong, which made Chen Mobai smile slightly. She invited him into the stone house for a cup of chilled tea. As the cool, bone-penetrating tea slid down his throat, he felt his whole body shiver and his bones seemed to be cleansed, feeling extremely refreshed.


    ¡°This is Rank-3 Ice Fog Tea, specially provided to our Dance Tool Dao Academy, perfect for the sweltering conditions of this Treasure Trove,¡± she explained.


    In the ten years at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t spoken to Duanmu Longrong more than ten sentences, but now they were talking as if they were good friends, sharing their experiences of cultivating in the Treasure Trove while sipping tea.


    ¡°If you wish to return to the Daoist Academy after your Core Formation, I could let you take my place here,¡± Duanmu Longrong suggested towards the end, an offer that was very tempting to Chen Mobai.


    This was a Fifth-Order Lower-Grade Spirit Vein, after all.


    Even for Nascent Soul Cultivators, it was an extremely powerful Spiritual Land.


    ¡°Does it come with any responsibilities?¡± Mobai asked, his mind still clear as he inquired about the key issue.


    Duanmu Longrong replied, ¡°After taking guardianship here, you cannot leave until someone willing to replace you arrives.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, ¡°I have learned the Puppetry Technique. Can I use a puppet to go outside?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong responded, ¡°You can, but your real body must remain here to guard.¡±


    Chen Mobai inquired further, ¡°Guard what?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong explained, ¡°This Treasure Trove and the depths of the Jade Plate Heavenly Grotto within it.¡±


    Mobai replied, ¡°I¡¯m still accustomed to being free and unrestrained, so I may not have the patience to do as Teacher Duanmu does.¡±


    After some thought, Chen Mobai decisively declined the offer.


    The Fifth Grade Spirit Vein was indeed rare, but compared to the vast resources of the Tianhe Realm, it just didn¡¯t have enough pull.


    He saw more potential in becoming a major trader between the two realms.


    After Core Formation, he would have enough power to make a stand on the Immortal Gate side, and he could even start to legitimately trade in some items that previously were not ¡®clean¡¯.


    With the resources of two worlds at his disposal, Chen Mobai felt that ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was not an impossibility for him.

    ¡°The guardianship term is three hundred years, and besides the Fifth Grade Spirit Vein, there¡¯s also a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here,¡± Duanmu Longrong added, pointing towards the bright red Vermillion Fruit Tree at the center of the island. The tree was laden with fruit, but only the one at the top showed signs of ripeness, shining with a fiery rainbow glow.


    A Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit takes one hundred years to flower, one hundred years to bear fruit, and one hundred years to ripen. It¡¯s among the most precious Spiritual Objects of the Immortal Gate.


    Aside from being a primary ingredient in refining Infant-Feeding Elixirs, consuming it alone could also enhance the efficiency of Nascent Soul Formation.


    It was rumored that Master Chengxuan managed to form his Nascent Soul because he had consumed a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit.


    ¡°If I guard this place for three hundred years, will I be able to obtain a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit?¡± Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel tempted as he considered the offer.

 Chapter 897 - Chapter 897 Chapter 497 The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the

    Chapter 897: Chapter 497: The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy Chapter 897: Chapter 497: The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy During Qi Cultivation, the greatest dream in this life was Foundation Establishment.


    After establishing the foundation, the thought of successfully forming a core would be wonderful.


    Now that the core was formed, Chen Mobai began to yearn for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    But compared to the Core Formation realm, Nascent Soul Formation was even more mysterious and difficult; although the resources of the Immortal Gate were scarce, each generation could still maintain a constant presence of several hundred Golden Core Masters.


    With such a number of examples, the Core Formation realm had been thoroughly studied, and according to the theories of the Immortal Gate, as long as there were sufficient resources, practically everyone had the potential to form a core.


    But the Nascent Soul was different.


    Even within the Immortal Gate, they were few and far between.


    Chen Mobai could use resources from two realms to form his core, but he did not know if he could achieve Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, compared to the Tianhe Realm, the Immortal Gate at least had a complete set of more than a dozen theories on Nascent Soul Formation, as well as related elixirs and spiritual objects.


    Among them, the methods of Nascent Soul Formation at the Four Great Daoist Sects were naturally the most top-notch.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had an unbroken lineage of Nascent Soul Cultivators, precisely because of this Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    If he could obtain a Fifth-Order Vermillion Fruit and refine it with the academy¡¯s secret technique, Chen Mobai could at least increase his chances of forming a nascent soul.


    But to serve a three-hundred-year sentence¡­


    After careful consideration, Chen Mobai still felt it wasn¡¯t worth it.


    With that time, he might be able to find resources of the same grade in the Tianhe Realm.


    Yet just as he was shaking his head to decline, Duanmu Longrong mentioned another benefit.


    ¡°Besides a Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit for serving a three-hundred-year tenure, you can also obtain an Infant-Feeding Elixir.¡±


    This statement made Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils dilate.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that in addition to the Vermillion Fruit, there would also be an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    The three spirit medicines for Immortal Gate¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    If consumed in sequence¨CNurturing Infant, Cultivating Infant, Transforming Infant¨Cthey could increase the probability of Nascent Soul Formation by ten percent, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment¡¯s trithings.


    But compared to those trithings, these three medicines for Nascent Soul Formation were each extremely precious.


    Even Gongye Zhixu, the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall, who had served the people for two jiashis, had only exchanged his longevity of service for a single Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°Why is there also an Infant-Feeding Elixir? Did the academy refine it itself?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in confusion, knowing that the three spirit medicines for Nascent Soul Formation were even higher grade than the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, all being Fourth Grade Superior elixirs that required over a thousand types of medicinal herbs to refine. Surely only the Immortal Gate had the capability to collect everything necessary, right?


    Duanmu Longrong: ¡°The Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit is one of the twelve main ingredients used to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir. This Vermillion Fruit Tree can mature ten fruits in three hundred years. The academy keeps one for the caretaker, the remaining nine are taken by the Immortal Gate to refine nine Infant-Feeding Elixirs, and eventually, one will be returned to the academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Is this one for the caretaker as well?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong: ¡°It¡¯s a benefit from the academy. Those with a teaching tenure of more than one hundred twenty years can exchange it for academic credits. When I entered the Treasure Trove three hundred years ago, this Infant-Feeding Elixir¡¯s exchange quota was already assigned to me.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai finally understood why Duanmu Longrong would guard this monotonous place for three hundred years.


    Within the Immortal Gate, this could be said to be the most hopeful path to Nascent Soul Formation for the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Teacher Duanmu, by what you said, could it be that the Vermillion Fruit is about to mature?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong: ¡°If nothing goes wrong, the first fruit can be picked in twelve years, and thereafter, one can be harvested each year. Once the ten Vermillion Fruits are all picked, it will be time for the academy to select the next caretaker.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The caretaker position requires selection?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong: ¡°Three hundred years ago, your teacher Che Yucheng, Hong Mengkui, and I competed for this caretaker position, and I just barely prevailed.¡±


    Hearing her words, Chen Mobai could not help but be amazed.


    People were fighting for a three-hundred-year custodial duty.


    Yet thinking of the preciousness of the Nascent Soul Formation¡¯s spiritual things on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, it seemed indeed worth competing for.


    This was the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s best path to Nascent Soul Formation. Once every three hundred years, it¡¯s sufficient to ensure continuity between generations of Nascent Soul Cultivators; with a bit of luck, there might even be two or three Nascent Soul Cultivators in the same generation.


    For instance, at the Repairing Heaven Institute, apart from the principal, Elder Yuanxu, there was also Elder Qingping.


    Given that the Dance Tool Dao Academy had only Master Chengxuan as the sole Nascent Soul Cultivator over hundreds of years, the True Person who last consumed the Vermillion Fruit and Infant-Feeding Elixir must have failed in the Nascent Soul Formation.


    One wondered if Duanmu Longrong could succeed this time?


    ¡°I¡¯ll consider it further.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not outright refuse either.


    After all, there were twenty-one years left, and if he could not find resources for Nascent Soul Formation on the Tianhe Realm side, then as a genuine successor of the Dance Tool Dao Academy lineage, he felt it his duty and obligation to take up Ancestor Baiguang and Master Chengxuan¡¯s mantle, becoming the next principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and reaching new heights of glory.


    ¡°With your talent, if you are willing to preside over this place, even if other Golden Core Masters within the academy object, we and the principal will help you clear the path,¡± Duanmu Longrong said clearly.

    After forming his core, Chen Mobai had become the face of the Dance Tool Dao Academy lineage, second only to Master Chengxuan.


    If he was willing, the academy was ready to fully support his attempt at Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Thank you for your generous offer, Teacher Duanmu.¡±


    After expressing his gratitude to Duanmu Longrong, they talked some more about the Vermillion Fruit and Nascent Soul Formation before he bid her farewell and left.


    Once outside the Treasure Trove, the first person he naturally sought out was Che Yucheng.

 Chapter 898 - Chapter 898 Chapter 497 The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the

    Chapter 898: Chapter 497: The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy_2 Chapter 898: Chapter 497: The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy_2 Core Formation success such an occasion surely calls for the teacher to share in the joy.


    As he entered Building One, Chen Mobai encountered a familiar face.


    It was Luo Hezheng, the custodian of the Taoist Academy¡¯s treasury.


    ¡°Good to see you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    During his time at the academy, Chen Mobai had obtained many precious resources from him, and the two had happily collaborated at offline Jumang Daoist Academy exchange meetings.


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually¡­ made it!¡±


    Luo Hezheng had just come out of his office and was momentarily stunned to see Chen Mobai, but then he spoke with shocked eyes.


    ¡°It was just a fluke.¡±


    In the presence of his elders, Chen Mobai continued to be modest.


    ¡°Director Che has taken on a fine disciple!¡±


    Luo Hezheng said with emotion, then looked Chen Mobai up and down with a satisfied face. As a teacher at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he took pride in having such a talented student in the academy.


    You must know, when he first heard that Chen Mobai was attempting Core Formation on his own, he was quite skeptical.


    He believed the chance of success to be less than ten percent.


    Now, the facts had proven he had underestimated Qualification of Deification.


    Indeed, he was the academy¡¯s most outstanding student since Ancestor Baiguang.


    After watching Chen Mobai go upstairs to find Che Yucheng, Luo Hezheng couldn¡¯t contain his joy and shared the news in the faculty group chat for all to see.


    [I ran into Chen Mobai, and he succeeded in Core Formation!]


    Upon the release of this message, the previously quiet chat group suddenly exploded.


    [Is that true?]


    [He actually made it?]


    [No wonder there has been no activity in the Red City Mountain Spirit Vein for the past half month.]


    [As expected of him, I always said he would make it to Core Formation, there is nothing in this world he can¡¯t accomplish.]


    Before they knew it, the group began to brag about Chen Mobai¡¯s various achievements at the academy, all saying how they had high expectations for him when he was still a student.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai himself had already knocked on the office door of Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Come in!¡±


    At the sound of the familiar, hoarse voice, Chen Mobai gently pushed open the door and walked in.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve formed my core!¡±


    Chen Mobai softly announced to the silver-haired old man sitting by the window, drinking tea and reading a book, a statement that made him tremble all over.


    Setting down his teacup, Che Yucheng locked eyes with Chen Mobai, and his weathered gaze revealed an unprecedented sense of gratification.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    He said affirmatively, rising from his seat by the window and taking steps toward Chen Mobai. He extended his lean right hand to rest on his disciple¡¯s shoulder, bestowing upon him the highest praise a teacher can give.


    ¡°You are indeed my disciple! You may graduate now.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, I will always be your student.¡±


    With a respectful expression, Chen Mobai performed a ceremonial bow to Che Yucheng, acknowledging that at least one-third of his own achievements were due to the elder before him.


    ¡°I hope that a thousand years from now, I can be remembered by the Immortal Gate because I was your teacher.¡±


    Never before had Che Yucheng been this overjoyed. He patted Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder, laughing heartily with nostalgia.


    ¡°The teacher is already a part of the academy. As long as the academy exists, you will always be remembered.¡±


    The master and disciple sat near the window, with Chen Mobai as ever playing the role of disciple, pouring tea for Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Right, we should announce your Core Formation.¡±


    Che Yucheng suddenly remembered this and returned to his desk, switched on his computer, and began to draft a public announcement on behalf of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡­


    Immortal Gate Live Streaming Network.


    As the foremost website in the short video domain, countless cultivators had opened accounts here for live streaming.


    With three billion cultivators in the Immortal Gate, nearly half would spend their leisure time watching short videos or even live streams.


    Nie Wenzhen had his own account; he used to be a famous host in the Immortal Gate, but though he was banned from the entertainment circle for inciting public division, he could still continue live streaming online.


    After being banned, he stopped pretending altogether.


    He openly revealed himself as Chen Mobai¡¯s number one detractor, criticizing how the Dance Tool Daoistic lineage was monopolizing power in the Immortal Gate, oppressing a cultured and talented artist like himself, leaving him to host funerals in small eighteenth-tier cities to make ends meet.


    Today, after just having escorted an old cultivator to the funeral parlor, he found a spot to open a live broadcast on his phone while waiting for the cremation.


    As soon as the broadcast began, he saw a comment about Chen Mobai and immediately unleashed his antagonism as a detractor.


    ¡°What, you¡¯re saying he¡¯s attempting Core Formation autonomously at Crimson Mountain without taking any Elixirs?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to succeed! I¡¯m putting it out there today, if he manages to succeed in Core Formation this time, I¡¯ll live stream myself entering the crematorium.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I¡¯m not an irrational hater; given his talent, reaching Core Formation or even ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ is possible, but there¡¯s no way he can do it like the Head of Immortal Affairs with Enlightened Core Formation¨Che doesn¡¯t have the talent.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, this whole Qualification of Deification is a sham.¡±


    ¡°Throughout history in the Immortal Gate, so many talents have emerged, some even the direct descendants of the Deity Transformation, backed by a living Deity, achieving Core Formation in their thirties or forties. And in the end, how many of them have reached Divinity Transformation? Not a single one!¡±


    ¡°Even if he can reach Core Formation, it¡¯s only by enduring sixty grueling years and then, with the help of Elixirs, that he¡¯ll manage to do it.¡±


    ¡°Clearly, he¡¯s burdened by his own reputation and wants to pull off something big to further cement his image as the bearer of Qualification of Deification. But as a respectable elder, I still need to advise him: don¡¯t succumb to vanity. Why not just wait the sixty years honestly and make use of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s privileges to acquire the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine to Break Through Realm?¡±

    Chapter 899: Chapter 497 The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy_3 Chapter 899: Chapter 497 The Nascent Soul Formation Path of the Dance Tool Dao Academy_3 ¡°Watch closely, because after his Core Formation fails, he¡¯ll begin to falter. If his mental state is even slightly weak, he might just destroy himself, and do you know what the saddest part is?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that after he fails at Core Formation, the ones who will be the harshest online will be the exact ¡®talent fans¡¯ who used to put him on a pedestal.¡±


    ¡°As someone who¡¯s been through it all, I¡¯ve seen this kind of thing plenty of times¡­¡±


    As Nie Wenzhen was eagerly slandering Chen Mobai, he suddenly noticed a comment in the live stream.


    [Chen Mobai succeeded at Core Formation!]


    ¡°Succeeded at Core Formation? Are you out of your mind, spreading false news? Moderator, ban them¡­¡±


    After banning that person, Nie Wenzhen felt a rush of satisfaction. He cleared his throat, preparing to continue his attack on Chen Mobai, when suddenly, two more comments with similar messages appeared.


    [He really did succeed at Core Formation!]


    [The Dance Tool Dao Academy has issued an announcement!]


    [I remember the streamer swearing just now that if Chen Mobai succeeded at Core Formation, he¡¯d live stream his own funeral!]


    After Nie Wenzhen personally banned more than a dozen people, he started to feel that something was off.


    He immediately switched to the homepage of the live-streaming website, and there, ranking first in popularity, was the official account of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The title screamed: [Warm congratulations to our 5012th graduate, Chen Mobai, on his successful Core Formation!]


    This can¡¯t be true!


    Nie Wenzhen¡¯s hands trembled as he clicked into the live stream to find a delicate-looking female student and a handsome male student giving out free lottery draws as rewards!


    [Today is your lucky day, as our live stream takes you back over Chen school senior¡¯s unbeatable twenty-two years of Foundation Establishment. Every half an hour, there will be a lottery draw for Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, don¡¯t miss out¡­]


    Nie Wenzhen wasn¡¯t interested in Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. His eyes widened as he clicked into the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s official account¡¯s page, and immediately saw the pinned announcement at the top.


    The content matched the title, but in the bottom right corner of the announcement, the official seal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy was stamped!


    Seeing the seal, Nie Wenzhen could no longer deceive himself. He felt as if he¡¯d turned to stone, lifelessly switching back to his own live stream.


    [Heard the streamer is making his way to the crematorium, came specially to witness the event.]


    [When¡¯s the send-off happening? Hurry up and live stream it, you¡¯ve managed to leech off this trend!]


    [We don¡¯t need to spell out what happens to those who break their promises, do we?!]


    [I suggest you hurry, maybe you could catch up with that old cultivator you sent off just now and join him in the crematorium¡­]


    The barrage of comments in Nie Wenzhen¡¯s live stream room harshly erupted, as people began to share his earlier remarks. In an instant, he occupied the second spot in popularity, right after Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation success!


    And just as tens to hundreds of thousands of cultivators swarmed his live stream, they found nothing but a black screen.


    [The streamer has experienced a Broken Stream. Please come again to watch the live stream next time]!


    Faced with the notification over the black screen, people couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    No matter where it is, those who break their promises are always despised by everyone.


    But there were also some reasonable people, such as his fans, who said that Nie Wenzhen should be given some time to prepare, since live streaming one¡¯s own funeral was somewhat difficult.


    Maybe he¡¯d have a clear head in a day or two and start his broadcast to see himself off!


    Many impulsive people clicked into Nie Wenzhen¡¯s personal account page ready to leave furious comments, but they suddenly realized they couldn¡¯t post anything.


    What¡¯s going on?

    Was this guy¡¯s account banned?


    While they were puzzled, Nie Wenzhen¡¯s username had already been changed to ¡ª [This user has already canceled their account]!


    Shit!


    This shameless wretch not only broke his word but also turned out to be a coward!


    This development caused even some of Nie Wenzhen¡¯s fans, who had been speaking rationally on his behalf, couldn¡¯t contain their anger anymore. They began to strike back, leading the charge in the onslaught of criticism.

 Chapter 900 - Chapter 900 Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy

    Chapter 900: Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy Chapter 900: Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy ¡°My son, you really formed your golden core!?¡±


    Looking at the video on their phones, Chen Mobai¡¯s parents, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui, were so excited they were beyond words after receiving confirmation.


    ¡°If you hadn¡¯t come out of my stomach, I wouldn¡¯t dare believe I gave birth to such an outstanding son.¡±


    Tang Panchui¡¯s words made Chen Mobai chuckle; their video call lasted nearly an hour before they managed to calm their excited emotions.


    ¡°Son, give us a heads-up before you come back, the big celebration for forming your golden core definitely needs dozens of tables, and we¡¯ll invite all relatives and friends.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai wanted to show off his success in front of everyone, he still chuckled helplessly and shook his head regarding the idea of hosting a banquet.


    Actually, Tang Panchui wanted to do it when he reached Foundation Establishment, but since Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Gate was just mid-level, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel it was appropriate and simply had a simple meal with close family.


    But with the success of Core Formation this time, Tang Panchui insisted on celebrating for three days and nights.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this when the son comes back then, we¡¯ll hang up now.¡±


    Chen Xinglan waved his hand cheerfully on the screen and then the family ended the call.


    Chen Mobai had anticipated that his elixir-free Core Formation would cause a sensation in the Immortal Gate, but he hadn¡¯t expected it to be this big of a deal.


    Since Dance Tool Dao Academy posted an announcement celebrating his Core Formation, almost everyone who had his contact information called him, and those who were a bit shy sent congratulatory messages.


    Chen Mobai could only selectively reply.


    Checking his contacts, he first returned a call to Meng Huang, as her contribution to his successful Core Formation was not small.


    After being lovey-dovey on the phone for a while and arranging the next meeting time, Meng Huang reluctantly hung up the phone.


    She was currently on tour with the Literary and Art Department and couldn¡¯t leave. Otherwise, she would have flown over to celebrate the day she heard the news.


    After dealing with Meng Huang, Chen Mobai checked his phone log for missed calls.


    He looked for Qing Nu¡¯s message; she had sent a text over.


    [Congratulations on your Core Formation.]


    That¡¯s it?


    Chen Mobai felt that given his relationship with Qing Nu, she should have at least called him.


    Maybe because they had less contact in recent years due to his Core Formation efforts, their relationship had become a bit distant.


    Chen Mobai was considering whether to call her proactively when Yan Bingxuan¡¯s call suddenly came through.


    [Hello.] Chen Mobai, seeing the caller ID, didn¡¯t hesitate and answered right away.


    Yan Qiongzhi: [I was in seclusion breaking through realm, so my phone was turned off. I just turned it on and saw a missed call from you, what¡¯s up?]


    Chen Mobai: [Haven¡¯t you seen the recent trending news?]


    Yan Bingxuan: [I haven¡¯t had the chance to look yet. Thinking you might need something, I called you back first.]


    Hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s indifferent voice, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but cough lightly before sending her the official website link of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Three seconds later!


    [You formed your golden core!!!]


    Yan Bingxuan suddenly sounded highly excited, her shock and joy palpable even through the phone screen.


    Having known her for so many years, Chen Mobai had never heard Yan Bingxuan, this beauty, exhibit such a rich tone of voice.


    [Didn¡¯t I promise you that you¡¯d be the first to know after I formed my core? It¡¯s just that I did call you, but you didn¡¯t receive it.]


    Chen Mobai spoke in a tone of helplessness as Yan Bingxuan apologized with a slight embarrassment.


    [The joy at that moment, I wanted to share it with you. Although the moment has passed, the joy is still the same, I¡¯ve formed my core.]


    Chen Mobai cared a lot about ritual and over the phone, he said four words to share his breakthrough joy with this good friend.


    [Yeah, I feel it!]


    Yan Bingxuan responded with unprecedented tenderness.


    For some reason, although Yan Bingxuan was not a great talker, Chen Mobai always wanted to find some topic to continue chatting with her, and she would respond in kind. That awkward yet mutual yearning and the feel of their conversation were entirely different from when he had chatted with Meng Huang, leaving Chen Mobai pleasantly absorbed.


    If Ming Yuhua hadn¡¯t suddenly called, Chen Mobai reckoned he could¡¯ve talked with Yan Bingxuan until the next morning.


    [Then I¡¯ll hang up now, I¡¯m coming back this year.]


    Yan Bingxuan said lastly; she had also graduated from Repairing Heaven Institute but stayed to utilize the resources to continue studying Ice Soul Divine Light and rarely returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Planning to return this year naturally meant to celebrate Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation in person.


    [Okay, then I¡¯ll wait for you.]


    After saying this, Chen Mobai with an expectant mind switched to Ming Yuhua¡¯s call.

    Ming Yuhua: [Holy shit, Old Chen, you¡¯re incredible¡­]


    Conversations between good brothers were always much more casual. After graduating, Ming Yuhua was taken away by the Immortal Gate¡¯s related departments due to his exceptional skills in Artifact Refining, and his calls with outsiders were recorded to prevent leaking secrets.


    Chen Mobai: [Alright, next time you¡¯re free, come to Red Sandstone City to find me, I¡¯ll treat you to a drink¡­]


    After chatting with Ming Yuhua, he naturally had to reply to each member of the Metaphysical Class.


    A phone call in return for close friends like Yunyang Bing, Wang Xingyu, and others, and a text message for the rest.


    Just this matter took up two to three days of Chen Mobai¡¯s time.


    Finally, after finishing the call with Hua Zijing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

 Chapter 901 - Chapter 901 Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy_2

    Chapter 901: Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy_2 Chapter 901: Chapter 498 Qing Sang Academy_2 Just when he was about to put his phone down, suddenly another new message came in.


    It was just a simple two-word phrase: ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been somewhat indifferent, couldn¡¯t help but be startled slightly upon seeing the name of the sender.


    Shi Wanyu.


    Since their graduation last time, they had not seen each other again.


    Over the years, he had almost forgotten that he once had this female friend.


    However, that incident from back then still choked in his heart; therefore, after thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai deleted the message, as if he had never seen it.


    Now that he had achieved Core Formation, it was destined that there would be no outcome between them.


    Since that was the case, it was better not to initiate any more contact.


    ¡­


    Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Zhongli Tianyu frowned slightly as he looked at the message that Chen Mobai had sent back.


    ¡°If he could succeed in forming his core without consuming an elixir, surely I can too, right?¡±


    When Zhongli Tianyu said this, he was asking Zhongli Yue, one of the only three Golden Core Masters in the Zhongli family. Although she was understated, she was deemed the most likely to hold hope for the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    That was why she had been placed in Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think you can.¡±


    Zhongli Yue directly shook her head, cutting off Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s hope.


    ¡°Why not? I am a descendant of divine transformation, and I have the Bagua Mirror as my accompanying Spiritual Treasure. Core Formation should not bar my way.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was a bit unconvinced; he felt that although his talent was slightly below that of Chen Mobai, the addition of the Gobarith Legacy Bagua Mirror should be enough to bridge the gap.


    ¡°You are merely a descendant of Divinity Transformation; he has the Qualification of Deification. You¡¯d better continue cultivating diligently. After the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, you can attempt Core Formation.¡±


    Zhongli Yue had met Chen Mobai twice and had a good impression of this polite child.


    However, during their first meeting, she did not feel the astonishing transcendence that others had talked about in him, failing to sense that almost overflowing Qualification of Deification.


    But then Chen Mobai was successful in opening his Domain, which made Zhongli Yue think that perhaps the child was being modest in front of her, deliberately concealing it.


    Now, hearing that he had succeeded in Core Formation without the aid of an elixir, Zhongli Yue was even more convinced that it was her lack of insight at the time; the kid was indeed possessed of the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°I could give it a try, considering I still have a long way to go before hitting sixty years in service.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was still not willing to give up; he wanted to keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s pace, not to be left behind.


    ¡°You¡¯re not him. Without the aid of an elixir, you will definitely fail to form the core, and there¡¯s no need to attempt it and needlessly drain your essence and origin.¡±


    Zhongli Yue stated firmly, and although Zhongli Tianyu was very reluctant, he could only reply with an ¡°oh¡± and hang his head.


    He himself knew that before Elder Yuanxu had released the realm treasure, their family of divine descendants had received early access, and Zhongli Tianyu himself had tried a simulation of Core Formation, only succeeding with the aid of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    ¡°Darn it, can I never catch up to him in this lifetime?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, who had always been arrogant, believing himself to be second only to the heavens, began to doubt himself at this point.


    Even if he managed to succeed in Core Formation with the help of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill once, he would still fall more than forty years behind Chen Mobai, who had already reached that stage.


    Given that his talent was already not as great as Chen Mobai¡¯s, by the time that long span had passed, the latter might even be attempting Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Maybe, should I just stop competing with him?¡±


    This thought suddenly crossed Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s mind.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai, of course, had no idea that members of the divine family were discussing his talent behind his back.


    That day, he went to building number one at Crimson Mountain again.


    This time, however, he was not there to see Che Yucheng but to pay a visit to the principal.


    His Core Formation achievement had been reported to Master Chengxuan by the Daoist Academy as soon as possible, but since Nascent Soul Cultivators took a long time in their cultivation, it was only now that he received a response.


    If it weren¡¯t for waiting for Master Chengxuan, Chen Mobai would have returned to the Tianhe Realm long ago.


    ¡°Indeed, the Pure Yang lineage can be considered to have a successor now.¡±


    Master Chengxuan was very happy when he saw Chen Mobai come in and spoke.


    The two talked for half a day, mostly with Master Chengxuan speaking. He expressed that if Chen Mobai were willing, after Duanmu Longrong, the Baby-forming Spiritual Things of the Daoist Academy could be given to him.


    Before leaving, Master Chengxuan solemnly added, ¡°I know that after you successfully created your own Golden Core, you think that Nascent Soul Formation won¡¯t be too difficult, but I still want to advise you that the most suitable path of Nascent Soul Formation for your Pure Yang Scroll is our Weapon Dancing Sect. In the Immortal Gate, wanting to form your Nascent Soul on your own is nearly impossible.¡±


    The only exception is practitioners of the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Headmaster, but isn¡¯t it interesting to achieve something that no one else has?¡±


    Chen Mobai said something that made Master Chengxuan stunned.


    ¡°Child, it will only feel interesting if you succeed. If you fail, you will feel that everything you have done before was in vain,¡± Chengxuan said earnestly.


    Master Chengxuan had seen too many arrogant people, but without exception, all of them eventually bowed their heads in the face of failure, passing away in meditation with regret.


    Only he, who advanced step by step within the Immortal Gate system, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and even finally became a Nascent Soul Superior, showed that this was the most correct path, the one many had succeeded on.


    The initial pioneers were mostly failures.


    ¡°Then I just have to not fail,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Master Chengxuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh wryly.


    ¡°You really are young. I still have over two hundred years of lifespan left, and I hope that you will change your mind before I pass away in meditation. If you do, I¡¯ll still be alive to help you arrange your path for Nascent Soul Formation,¡± said Master Chengxuan.


    ¡°The Headmaster will certainly achieve Divinity Transformation,¡± Chen Mobai flattered, eliciting hearty laughter from Master Chengxuan.


    After leaving the headmaster¡¯s office, Chen Mobai went to sit with Che Yucheng.


    Qin Beichen happened to be there, and after Chen Mobai thanked him again, Qin Beichen took the opportunity to leave, giving the master and disciple some space.


    ¡°The choice you make yourself, I won¡¯t interfere with, but I still want to advise you that the opportunity to lead the Weapon Dancing Sect is very rare,¡± Che Yucheng, acting as his teacher, said seriously, apparently aware of the content and outcome of Chen Mobai¡¯s talk with Master Chengxuan.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The Daoist Academy has countless capable people, and I am of humble experience. If I were to take over, I fear I would not be able to command respect.¡±


    Che Yucheng: ¡°As long as you are willing, the Headmaster, I, and Senior Sister Duanmu, we will all support you.¡±


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai had already become the future hope of everyone in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    They all believed that he would lead the Daoist Academy to new heights, even if he couldn¡¯t become the next Ancestor Baiguang. At the very least, under the resources of the Daoist Academy, forming his Nascent Soul would be no problem.


    After all, those who attained the Golden Core without elixir aid had a ninety-nine percent success rate in Nascent Soul Formation in the history of the Immortal Gate.


    The only exceptions were those who perished in battles beyond their Domain.


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m being modest, but after all, I am still young. Let me have a few more easy years,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Mobai could refuse others directly, but with Che Yucheng, he had to play the sentiment card.


    ¡°Alright then, but you must join the teacher¡¯s workforce in the Daoist Academy first, so that you can start accumulating service years from tomorrow. If you want to take it easy, like Yu Yi, you can become a headmaster at an academy to get used to it,¡± suggested Che Yucheng.


    The ¡°little Yu¡± mentioned by Che Yucheng was the Crimson-cloaked True Person, Yu Tianguang.


    In the Immortal Gate¡¯s Bai Er Shi Fu, basically all Scholarly Mansions were branched from the Daoist Academy, and Cinnabarite Institute was one of the branches of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°How about I become the vice headmaster of Cinnabarite Institute?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, who was a homebody, also didn¡¯t want to leave his hometown, so he made a suggestion.


    ¡°That won¡¯t do, each institute may only have one Golden Core Master. We can¡¯t waste educational resources,¡± Che Yucheng shook his head and then listed other schools in Bai Er Shi Fu that were still lacking a Golden Core Master to preside over.


    Conveniently, Yu Wood City next to Danxia City had Qing Sang Academy, jointly operated by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy. Although the acting headmaster was from Jumang Academy, they would surely be willing to step down and yield the position if Chen Mobai went there.


    Chen Mobai knew that Yu Wood City lacked a Golden Core Master, and if he wanted to grow and strengthen his talisman paper business legitimately, controlling the city would be essential.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go with Qing Sang Academy then.¡±

 Chapter 902 - Chapter 902 Chapter 499 Seeing Qing Nu Again

    Chapter 902: Chapter 499: Seeing Qing Nu Again Chapter 902: Chapter 499: Seeing Qing Nu Again After Chen Mobai chose his school, Che Yucheng was also satisfied.


    ¡°After your Core Formation, you will need to report to the Kaiyuan Hall. Also, make a trip to the Ministry of Education and go through the procedure of taking up the position as the headmaster of Qing Sang Academy.¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy is also considered one of the peaks of the Immortal Gate, and after Che Yucheng had finished writing Chen Mobai¡¯s job transfer letter and affixed the academy¡¯s seal, he called a few friends from the Ministry of Education to give them a heads up.


    Upon arriving at Wangwu Cave Heaven, it was naturally Sun Daoji who welcomed Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, there are few people I admire in my life, and you are now the one I admire the most.¡±


    After receiving Chen Mobai, Sun Daoji said with an admiring face and even took the initiative to reach out to take his luggage.


    ¡°Senior Brother Sun is also a young genius, I¡¯ve merely made my advance a bit earlier.¡±


    In the presence of his own people, Chen Mobai remained as humble as ever.


    The two first went to the Ministry of Education and took care of the simple matters. Thanks to Che Yucheng¡¯s advance notice, the process for Chen Mobai¡¯s appointment as headmaster of Qing Sang Academy was completed in just one morning.


    If it weren¡¯t for a certain leader who had gone to another department on business, it might have taken just half an hour.


    Then it was off to Kaiyuan Hall.


    There, they had to wait.


    After all, it is one of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen and the core of the Immortal Gate. In addition to the 374 Golden Core Masters, there are also 14 Nascent Soul Superiors who are members of the hall.


    The current Kaiyuan Hall Master Qi Yuheng, known as the foremost Nascent Soul of the Immortal Gate, had already reached the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer a hundred years ago and was acclaimed as the person most likely to achieve Divinity Transformation after the Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate.


    However, such exalted figures generally don¡¯t deal with mundane affairs and after Chen Mobai¡¯s documents were submitted, they were reviewed by Vice Hall Master Ye Yune.


    ¡°Greetings, True Person Ye.¡±


    On the third day, Chen Mobai received a notification and arrived at Kaiyuan Hall.


    ¡°Take a seat.¡±


    Ye Yune was an imposing, solemnly beautiful woman. When Chen Mobai entered, she was dealing with some documents, and from a pile of them, she pulled out one.


    After Chen Mobai took it and looked, it was his personal profile and data, but some issues had been circled in red ink, with small annotations on how to modify them.


    ¡°Take it back, make the changes, and then submit it again.¡±


    After saying that, Ye Yune lowered her head and continued with her own work.


    Chen Mobai paused for a moment, said nothing more, and turned to leave.


    ¡°Do you have a grudge against True Person Ye?¡±


    After returning, Chen Mobai mentioned the incident to Sun Daoji, who looked at the document with red ink modifications and couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, asking in surprise.


    ¡°How could that be possible? It was my first time meeting her. Maybe she has a prejudice against our Dance Tool Dao Academy?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. His profile and data had been directly prepared by people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy in Wangwu Cave Heaven, handled by seasoned professionals who would not make any mistakes.


    Yet Ye Yune found faults like picking bones from an egg and sent it back. There had to be some intricacies they didn¡¯t know about.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait a few days. True Person Wang has gone to Xixuan Dongtian on a visit and hasn¡¯t returned yet. As he is one of the rotating members of Kaiyuan Hall along with Ye Yune, having him intercede would spare us the need to guess.¡±


    In Wangwu Cave Heaven, the Dance Tool Dao Academy also has a Golden Core Master who presides over the overall situation, named Wang Shuye. He too had once competed for the position of Vice Hall Master of Kaiyuan Hall but unfortunately lost to Ye Yune.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t concerned.


    After all, he had a promising future and Tianhe Realm as a backing. He wasn¡¯t overly concerned about the resources of Xianmen. Even without joining Kaiyuan Hall, it wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    While waiting for Wang Shuye to return, Chen Mobai made time to arrange a meal with Qing Nu.


    He called her and it took a while before she picked up.


    Qing Nu: ¡°Hello.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Are you free? It¡¯s been so many years since I last saw you.¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°Eh, are you in Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I came to see you and also to take care of some matters.¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°Oh right, you¡¯ve formed your Core. According to the rules, you have to come to Kaiyuan Hall. Congratulations.¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly responded and then both set a meeting place at a street convenient for transportation.


    ¡­


    In a certain underground space in the suburbs of Wangwu Cave Heaven, Qing Nu had a smile on her face as she put down her phone.


    ¡°Who was that, making you so happy?¡±


    Wearing a white lab coat and glasses, Zhongli Yi looked up, while observing the test data on the experimental materials on the operating table, and asked.


    ¡°A good friend I haven¡¯t seen in a while has come to Wangwu Cave Heaven.¡±


    Taking her tablet for data processing, Qing Nu walked over to Zhongli Yi and started working on the experiment.


    ¡°That guy!¡±


    To Zhongli Yi¡¯s surprise, she instantly knew who that was. Qing Nu¡¯s social circle was quite simple, and before finishing school, she had joined the Sky-Mending Group, interacting with many secretive and dark matters which meant she couldn¡¯t relate to the students living in the Ivory Tower.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Aside from Sky-Mending Group, in the Immortal Gate, the only friend of Qing Nu¡¯s that Zhongli Yi knew was one person¨Cher boyfriend.


    The few times Qing Nu had taken leave were all to meet him.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll ask for leave from the group leader later and won¡¯t be here this afternoon. Please work diligently.¡±


    ¡°Must be nice, your boyfriend forming his Gold Core independently, and you with a Heavenly Spiritual Root securing your Core Formation. Later, as a couple practicing Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book together, maybe you two will be the next Qing Shi and Qing Jing.¡±


    Zhongli Yi said enviously, making a face at Qing Nu, who turned slightly red with embarrassment, hastily waving her hands and insisting that she and Chen Mobai were just friends.

 Chapter 903 - Chapter 903 Chapter 499 Seeing Qing Nu Again_2

    Chapter 903: Chapter 499: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 Chapter 903: Chapter 499: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 ¡°In the Immortal Gate, men and women are free to love, there¡¯s nothing daring about admitting that. It¡¯s rare for him to come here, so you must seize the opportunity to show him your worth, and take a few more days off to spend time with him. Such a good man, now every female cultivator with a bit of connection in the Immortal Gate is seeking his contact. Just among those in the Waiting-Chamber of the Divinity Transformation families I know of, there are several.¡±


    Zhongli Yi was Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s older female cousin, but although she had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment, because the remaining Liquid Gold Jade and the Infant-Transforming Elixir of her family were used as a foundation, even Zhongli Tianyu was not allowed to consume them.


    So if she wanted to achieve Core Formation, she would need to serve the people in the Immortal Gate.


    But as a descendant of a Divinity Transformation family, her connections were different, and she was arranged to join the Sky-Mending Group, where she could obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill in the shortest amount of time.


    Moreover, the Sky-Mending Group she was in was the medical group, and they basically didn¡¯t need to report for combat duty, so their safety was also guaranteed.


    Because of her family¡¯s reasons, she had many friends from the Divinity Transformation families. Recently in their small group chats, they were all discussing how to win over Chen Mobai, the number one talent of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I¡¯m going first!¡±


    The Qing Women, still being somewhat shy-faced, really couldn¡¯t stand Zhongli Yi leaning in to teach her some techniques. She immediately put down her tablet and ran out of the lab.


    Since the Sky-Mending Group was quite particular, every member had to report in great detail their phone contact and travel schedules, specifying how long they would take leave for, when they would go, and when they would return.


    The Qing Women, after getting the leave note signed by three leaders, finally received a card that would allow her to leave.


    The Sky-Mending Group was underground, so when going to the surface, one needed to swipe a special card in the elevator.


    Beep! The elevator door opened, and the Qing Women saw that there were already two people inside.


    ¡°Good day, Vice-Commander Lan, Commander Lin.¡±


    The Qing Women immediately greeted them.


    Lan Haitian and Lin Yin glanced at her and nodded lightly in response.


    ¡°Which floor?¡±


    Lin Yin, standing at the elevator entrance, wearing a face mask, extended her finger and asked the Qing Women.


    ¡°The ground floor!¡±


    The Qing Women hesitated a moment, then answered.


    As expected, upon hearing her answer, both Lan Haitian and Lin Yin turned their gaze to her. Under the scrutiny of their eyes, the Qing Women took out her leave application card and swiped it in front of a minor magic artifact.


    After the green light was illuminated, Lin Yin lowered her head and pressed the button for the ground floor.


    When they reached the third floor underground, Lan Haitian and Lin Yin exited the elevator, and the Qing Women let out a soft sigh of relief.


    Within the Sky-Mending Group, the sixth group was the combat unit. Every member¡¯s hands were stained with blood, so when people from other departments met them, they would instinctively feel uncomfortable.


    Because their gaze always seemed to be assessing every fatal part of the body.


    ¡°She must be going to see Chen Mobai.¡±


    After sitting in his office for a while, Lin Yin came over with the information she had gathered and spoke.


    ¡°Who would have thought, the Qi Cultivation boy from the past is now at the same realm as me,¡± Lan Haitian said with some emotion after reading the Qing Women¡¯s leave request and recalling the recent fervent discussions about Chen Mobai¡¯s successful self-initiated Core Formation on the internet.


    ¡°Too bad. If I had been more resolute back then and pulled him into the Sky-Mending Group, I wouldn¡¯t have to work so hard now.¡±


    Lin Yin also had a deep impression of Chen Mobai; back in Red Sandstone City, when he had just established his foundation, he unleashed a Purple Fire Sword Light that dazzled her.


    At that time, she couldn¡¯t understand why he firmly refused them, but now she finally understood.


    He clearly had absolute confidence in forming his own core and looked down on the little benefits offered by their Sky-Mending Group.


    Lan Haitian: ¡°Even if he had joined the sixth group at that time and filled the vacancy I left behind, and now achieved Core Formation and got a promotion, you would still have taken over as the leader of the sixth group, working hard all the same.¡±


    Lin Yin: ¡°At least I would have had an easier time for the first twenty years.¡±


    This statement made Lan Haitian shake his head in silence. He looked at the Qing Women¡¯s leave note and using his authority as the deputy commander of the Sky-Mending Group, began to access Chen Mobai¡¯s records within the Immortal Gate.


    Soon, the most recent approved appointment caught his attention.


    [Hereby appointing Chen Mobai as the headmaster of the Qing Sang Academy in Yu Wood City¨CMinistry of Education XXXX.]


    Lan Haitian gazed at the three characters ¡°Yu Wood City¡± in silence for a long time, then pulled out his smartphone.


    He opened his contacts and found Chen Mobai¡¯s phone number.


    And then, he dialed.


    [¡°Alright, you arrange it.¡±]


    Chen Mobai found it somewhat odd that Lan Haitian would suddenly invite him to meet, but since he had helped him quite a bit, he certainly should grant this favor.


    Beep beep beep!


    Right after he hung up the phone with Lan Haitian, Qing Nu¡¯s call followed.


    Before long, the two of them, having confirmed their location, finally met.


    After six years, Qing Nu was still as stunningly beautiful as ever.


    She sat on a roadside chair, her face, now more coquettish after her experiences in the professional world, looked elegant and delicate. Under the white lining, her delicate collarbones were faintly visible. Her black coat closely hugged her curvaceous torso, and a dark blue skirt just covered her fair and round thighs. Her slender, straight legs were in a pair of black high heels; the black and white contrasted against each other, complementing her skin that was as pristine as fine jade.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t changed a bit, still so beautiful.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw Qing Nu, he sincerely praised her. Time had not taken away any of her beauty; on the contrary, she seemed to possess even more mature elegance.


    ¡°You are the same.¡±


    Qing Nu stood up, looking at the handsome youth before her, and smiled as she spoke.


    Because of his early breakthrough in cultivation level, Chen Mobai¡¯s body had always been maintained at the peak of his youth. His appearance had almost not changed at all.


    After his Core Formation, at the age of 44, compared to a lifespan of 540 years, he would maintain his youthful appearance for over a hundred years.


    ¡°Although the appearance hasn¡¯t changed, I feel older at heart.¡±


    Chen Mobai said self-mockingly. Upon hearing this, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    Walking together on the streets of Wangwu Cave Heaven, although they hadn¡¯t seen each other for six years, their conversation was as relaxed as friends who were always by each other¡¯s side.


    ¡°Eh, aren¡¯t you that¡­¡±


    Unfortunately, this ease lasted only momentarily, for Chen Mobai was soon recognized by someone.


    Seizing the moment before the crowd swarmed over, Chen Mobai quickly left the scene with Qing Nu. They then found a coffee shop with private rooms, finally having a private space to chat.


    ¡°I heard from my younger brother that you gave him a coffee cup, something about wanting to authenticate a drug.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai suddenly break into a cold sweat. He cursed Kong Feichen in his heart but still responded quickly, his expression turning serious as he gently shook his head.


    Then he stretched out his finger, manipulated the Water Controlling Technique, and used the coffee liquid in the cup as ink to write a sentence in the void.


    [¡°Lan Haitian just contacted me, saying he wanted to talk, probably knowing you¡¯d come to see me. It might involve your brother and sister, don¡¯t tell me a single word about them.¡±]


    When Qing Nu saw this sentence, her pretty face changed slightly, but she quickly showed she understood, nodding and erasing the coffee words Chen Mobai wrote in the air.


    After that, the two started to chat about more mundane matters.


    They talked about their cultivation and work over the years.


    Qing Nu had also reached the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment not long ago, which was due to her desire to consolidate her foundation. Otherwise, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root potential and the resources from the Sky-Mending Group, she could have completely reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment Completion.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Haven¡¯t you thought about cultivating Lasting Spring Cultivation?¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°There¡¯s only one Wood Spiritual Talisman, and after Wen Ren Xuewei cultivated with it, it¡¯s basically impossible for anyone else from the Daoist Academy to master the Lasting Spring Cultivation.¡±

    The resources of Immortal Gate are limited; even Jumang Academy could only support one person to cultivate Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    Qing Nu and Wen Ren Xuewei both possessed the Heavenly Water Spirit Root, born in the same era. With Qing Nu¡¯s records being problematic in the Immortal Gate, Jumang Academy easily made their choice.


    The two talked until the sun set. If Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t concerned about Qing Nu getting back late and people gossiping, potentially affecting her image as an unmarried woman, he would have liked to continue talking with her the whole night.


    He didn¡¯t have many friends in the Immortal Gate, and Qing Nu, without a doubt, was at the top of the list.


    The two were truly sincere with each other!

 Chapter 904 - Chapter 904 Chapter 500 An Old Case

    Chapter 904: Chapter 500: An Old Case Chapter 904: Chapter 500: An Old Case ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    In a certain low-profile club, after being brought inside by Lin Yin, Chen Mobai met Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Sit.¡±


    Lan Haitian gestured for Chen Mobai to sit down at the teatable by the window. Lin Yin soon left, closing the door behind her.


    If this were in any other place within the Immortal Gate, a conversation between two Golden Core Masters would easily make the front page of any news.


    Unfortunately, this was Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    The very center of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Congratulations on your Core Formation. To be honest, although I felt that you would reach this Realm sooner or later, I truly didn¡¯t expect it to happen so quickly.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Lan Haitian said reflectively. Chen Mobai gave a slight smile, showing neither modesty nor boastfulness.


    He knew that someone like Lan Haitian wouldn¡¯t seek him out without an important matter. The more he engaged in pleasantries with these people, the more likely he was to be led astray. Better to wait for Lan Haitian to get to the point.


    At that moment, the door opened again, and Lin Yin entered with a tray, upon which rested a complete set of tea brewing tools, along with tea leaves and cups.


    While Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian talked, both admired Lin Yin¡¯s graceful tea brewing movements, her elegant posture betraying no hint that she was the notoriously fierce leader of the sixth group of the Sky-Mending Group, with blood on her hands.


    Lan Haitian: ¡°May I ask you something?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Please do.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°After Core Formation, why did you choose to go to Yu Wood City¡¯s Qing Sang Academy?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t anticipated Lan Haitian¡¯s question. He had thought it would be about Qing Nu and Kong Feichen, especially since the latter was involved with the Ascension Sect, considered the sworn enemy of their Sky-Mending Group.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Daoist Academy¡¯s intention, I suppose. After my Core Formation, Master Chengxuan wanted me to stay and guard the Treasure Trove at Crimson Mountain. That way, I could rightfully keep the Vermillion Fruit and other Baby-forming Spiritual Things for myself, but I felt that it would be too easy to obtain them that way.¡±


    ¡°My Core Formation was already somewhat rushed. If I don¡¯t properly refine my foundation, I worry that my Realm would be unsubstantial, impeding my success in Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t wish to stay at Crimson Mountain, but out of respect for my teachers and the path, Che Laoshi personally intervened to mediate. He had me first join the teaching staff of the Daoist Academy and then dispatched me to be a school principal.¡±


    ¡°My longing for my hometown is strong, but unfortunately, Dan Zhu and Chixia, the two great academies, already have Golden Core Masters in charge. The only choice I had left was Qing Sang Academy, which has the backing of Dance Tool Dao Academy nearby.¡±


    There was no need to conceal any of this, so Chen Mobai laid out both the reasons and motivations in one go.


    Lan Haitian hadn¡¯t thought much of it yet. Lin Yin, who was brewing tea, stopped mid-motion when she heard the keywords ¡°Vermillion Fruit¡± and ¡°Nascent Soul,¡± nearly spilling the brewed tea.


    She glanced at the refined young man sitting nearby and felt a wave of guilt.


    This was the foremost genius of their era in the Immortal Gate!


    Already contemplating Nascent Soul Formation.


    Why did it seem that his Talent surpassed even that of Deputy Chief Lan Haitian!


    As Lin Yin thought this, she inadvertently handed over a cup of the crisp, clear tea.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Lan Haitian, noticing that Lin Yin hadn¡¯t yet poured his tea, said something with a slightly odd look on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem with Qing Sang Academy?¡±


    After taking the tea, Chen Mobai asked with slight surprise.


    A person like Lan Haitian wouldn¡¯t seek him out over such matters; since he had brought it up, there had to be some secret that Chen Mobai was unaware of.


    ¡°Do you remember our meeting in Red Sandstone City?¡±


    ¡°I have few friends within the Immortal Gate. Our profound friendship was forged on the battlefield as we fought side by side; you could say you are my best friend. My memories of Red Sandstone City are vivid and fresh.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words actually made Lan Haitian feel a tad embarrassed. In his mind, Chen Mobai was merely a junior with good Talent and remarkable skills in Magic Duel.


    Initially, the idea was to recruit him into the Sky-Mending Group to replenish the highly precarious ranks of the sixth group. Later, as Chen Mobai became the chief student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Lan Haitian obtained a Magical Treasure Embryo before his Core Formation, Lan Haitian continued to patiently answer all his questions even after his own Core Formation.


    Lan Haitian asked himself, he had never truly considered Chen Mobai a friend.


    Now that Chen Mobai had achieved Core Formation, however, his friendship was indeed worth cultivating. Thus, he continued along the line of conversation.

    ¡°After that battle, although we defeated the members of Ascension Sect, we let the bird get away with the snake, marking the mission a failure. For years because of that, Qing Nu has been on our watch list, kept away from sensitive information.¡±


    The words from Lan Haitian alerted Chen Mobai, as he had anticipated, the matter was indeed about Qing Nu and the others.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What does this have to do with Qing Sang Academy?¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°The laboratory where the three of them spent their childhood is in Yu Wood City. After the Immortal Gate authorities handled the situation, these test subjects were housed in blessed lands nearby. Qing Nu and the others were thus sent to the orphanage in Red Sandstone City. I thought you went to Qing Sang Academy in Yu Wood City to investigate this matter for Qing Nu after your Core Formation, which is why I volunteered to go there.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared as unperturbed as a gentle breeze or soft cloud, but inside, his heart was churning like a raging sea.

 Chapter 905 - Chapter 905 Chapter 500 An Old Case_2

    Chapter 905: Chapter 500: An Old Case_2 Chapter 905: Chapter 500: An Old Case_2 ¡°`


    He had simply picked the school closest to home, and even that had led to a collision!


    However, upon more careful thought, if one considered the matter closely, it was still possible to make the connection.


    It could only be said that Chen Mobai had made up his mind not to delve into Qing Nu and the other two¡¯s childhood before his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± so he had never paid attention to these matters or actively collected information in this area, which made overlooking Yu Wood City understandable.


    ¡°Qing Nu is my friend, but I really was unaware of this matter,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    At the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai was known for being loyal and righteous, so this was the only way he could explain it, though in his heart he was wondering if there was a way to switch to a different school for the headmaster position.


    This incident clearly involved the highest echelons of the Immortal Gate with extensive implications. Although he was considered a part of the upper levels after his Core Formation, it would be best to avoid this if possible.


    However, the processes had already been officially approved by the Education Department, so there was definitely no way to retract it.


    He could only blame the Dance Tool Dao Academy for having too much influence and a deep background; if he¡¯d graduated from another Scholarly Mansion, he¡¯d probably still be caught in the approval process.


    ¡°The experimental base in Yu Wood City has already been handled by the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate. Even if you find that place, you won¡¯t uncover anything useful,¡± Lan Haitian admitted.


    Whether Lan Haitian believed what Chen Mobai said was uncertain, but he shared some more secret information with him.


    It was because Chen Mobai had completed Core Formation and was clearly chosen by the Dance Tool Dao Academy for the future, otherwise, Lan Haitian would not have divulged such information.


    ¡°I had no intention of investigating this matter in the first place; this is for the best,¡± Chen Mobai said as he pondered over how he could extricate himself from the clearly dangerous and turbulent undercurrent.


    ¡°The original test subjects are all under the supervision of the Immortal Gate. However, over the course of more than a decade, there is always some slackness, hence the accidental incident in Red Sandstone City,¡± Lan Haitian continued.


    As Lan Haitian spoke, he took a document from his Golden Core Domain and handed it to Chen Mobai, who, however, refused it with a raised hand.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to get involved in this, and my choice of Yu Wood City was solely because it¡¯s close to home. Qing Nu is my friend, though, and if this involves her, I will do everything in my power to protect her,¡± declared Chen Mobai.


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Lan Haitian was slightly surprised, while Lin Yin beside him had eyes shining.


    With a boyfriend like this, Qing Nu was truly blessed.


    ¡°In that case, you should look at this document,¡± Lan Haitian insisted.


    The tone of Lan Haitian¡¯s words made Chen Mobai frown slightly, but since Lan Haitian insisted, there must be a reason.


    After looking at the beginning of the document, Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted.


    Lan Haitian spoke, ¡°On the day the birds carried away the snakes, the two of us had united to eliminate everyone from the Ascension Sect who had come to the rescue, but in the end, we still failed. Do you remember why?¡±


    Chen Mobai replied, ¡°A mysterious Golden Core Master intervened.¡±


    This was something Chen Mobai would never forget; it was the first time he had witnessed a Golden Core in action. He and Lin Yin had been utterly powerless to retaliate.


    It was then that his desire for Core Formation ignited like a flame, driving his bitter cultivation over the past twenty-plus years.


    ¡°Every Golden Core Master who leaves their assigned location must report to Kaiyuan Hall in advance. After the incident, I investigated the travel logs of Kaiyuan Hall and even those of the older masters who had retired. No one was recorded as being in Red Sandstone City that day,¡± Lan Haitian explained.


    Upon finishing his statement, Chen Mobai had also completed reading the document¡¯s contents, his heart pounding intensely.


    For it contained a comprehensive investigation into the activities of the two Golden Core Masters of Red Sandstone City over the past twenty years.


    ¡°Therefore, the only suspects left are Yu Tianguang and Shi Qing,¡± Lan Haitian said calmly, but for Chen Mobai, it struck like a bolt out of the blue.


    ¡°The Crimson Robed Master is a teacher from my Dance Tool Dao Academy; he would not stoop to joining the Ascension Sect,¡± Chen Mobai exclaimed after processing all the clues in an instant, speaking out in defense of the Crimson Robed Master who had once helped him.


    Lan Haitian stated flatly, ¡°If not him, then it must be True Person Shi Qing.¡±


    Chen Mobai counter-argued, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. Could it be possible that someone visited Red Sandstone City without reporting to Kaiyuan Hall?¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly added, careful not to implicate anyone carelessly.


    ¡°Over these twenty years, we have largely ruled out that possibility. However, there are many unique and strange techniques within the Immortal Gate, so nothing can be said with absolute certainty. Nevertheless, these two True Persons are indeed the most suspect,¡± Lan Haitian returned to their initial topic of conversation. ¡°Red Sandstone City is just a Blessed Earth City after all. As a rule, once there is one Golden Core Master, others would, by tacit agreement, not show up. But this small place unexpectedly has two.¡±


    The citizens of Red Sandstone City have always taken pride in this matter.


    Within the Immortal Gate, it is quite rare for a mere Blessed Earth City to be guarded by two Golden Core Masters.


    ¡°`


    Now, after Lan Haitian¡¯s reminder, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but think that right next to Red Sandstone City lay Yu Wood City. Could it be¡­


    ¡°The time Shi Qing and Yu Tianguang were stationed in Red Sandstone City covered the span from the start to the end of that experiment. However, this is just my speculation, and to identify the specific person involved, we still need more substantial evidence,¡± Lan Haitian said, taking the documents Chen Mobai had finished reviewing. With a squeeze of his hand, he turned the pages into powder.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Are you planning to take action against them?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Once we have the evidence, we will carry out the capture operation. At that time, to avoid alarming the target prematurely, we might need you to provide assistance secretly. Moreover, I need you to keep a close watch on Red Sandstone City¡¯s two True Persons during ordinary days.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally understood the true purpose behind Lan Haitian¡¯s summoning him today.


    Aside from testing him, it was also an opportunity for himself.


    If he could cooperate in capturing the possible Ascension Sect Cultivators who were Golden Core Masters, then Chen Mobai, who had suddenly applied to become the principal of Qing Sang Academy after his Core Formation, would be able to clear his own name in this affair.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Can I refuse?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Of course, you can. This is a personal request from me, not an official command from the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai fell silent.


    After finishing his tea, he took his leave.


    ¡°Will he agree?¡±


    Lin Yin, who had a good impression of Chen Mobai, asked Lan Haitian while tidying up the tea set.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just informed Dance Tool Dao Academy about this matter through him,¡± Lan Haitian replied, standing by the window. He watched Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure leaving the clubhouse and strolling down the street below, with a slight smile on his lips.


    Lin Yin, ¡°Does Dance Tool Dao Academy also have something to do with this matter?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°The intricacies of this case are far deeper than we imagined. To thoroughly investigate it, relying solely on myself will likely not suffice.¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai returned to the hotel he was staying in, and reconsidered all the details of his conversation with Lan Haitian once more.


    Usually, he simply didn¡¯t want to concern himself with the matter, which was why he hadn¡¯t reflected on it. But now, after Lan Haitian had made things explicit, he had no choice but to ponder it.


    However, critical information was lacking; he only knew what Lan Haitian had told him, as well as what Qing Nu and Kong Feichen had described from their childhood.


    Ultimately, he decided to give Che Yucheng a call.


    After all, the situation involved the Crimson Robed True Person Yu Tianguang, who was a teacher within the organization of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I understand!¡±


    Che Yucheng was silent for a long time after hearing what Chen Mobai said before responding with just four words.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Teacher, what should I do?¡±


    Che Yucheng, ¡°The process of your appointment as principal of Qing Sang Academy has already been completed. You can¡¯t avoid this matter. Do what you must, and wait for the official command from the Immortal Gate.¡±


    In other words, if the Immortal Sect finally confirmed that Yu Tianguang was a Cultivator from the Ascension Sect, then Chen Mobai would have to face the moral dilemma of justice over familial ties.


    If not, all the better.


    Then it might be him joining forces with Yu Tianguang to confront True Person Shi Qing.


    ¡°Understood, Teacher!¡±


    After ending the call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai felt he had some direction.

    Within the system of the Immortal Gate, even Golden Core True Persons could not escape their crimes.


    Chen Mobai was relieved that he had always abided by the law and been a good citizen.


    Two days later, Wang Shuye returned to Wangwu Cave Heaven. He personally brought Chen Mobai¡¯s personal profile and materials to meet with Ye Yune.


    That afternoon, on the official website of Kaiyuan Hall, the list of formal council members had one more name added.


    It was none other than Chen Mobai!

 Chapter 906 - Chapter 906 Chapter 501 Return to Hometown

    Chapter 906: Chapter 501: Return to Hometown Chapter 906: Chapter 501: Return to Hometown Having a name in the Kaiyuan Hall signifies that Chen Mobai had officially become part of the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate.


    Because he was to assume the role of principal at Qing Sang Academy in Yu Wood City, this city, one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands of Xianmen, was allotted to him.


    Not long after Chen Mobai received the five-pointed star badge from Wang Shuye, symbolizing his status as a Kaiyuan Hall councilor, Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yu Wood City, made a phone call to inquire when the leader would arrive and if there were any specific requirements for his office and residence.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know much about Wen Ping, so he simply exchanged pleasantries, stating that everything would be discussed upon his arrival and, for the time being, to continue as usual.


    ¡°Director Che said you were mature beyond your years, but I had my doubts. I thought that a young genius like you would be wild and arrogant, flamboyant and unrestrained. It turns out that really is the case,¡± said Wang Shuye. He was a middle-aged man with a distinguished appearance and poised demeanor, and he was the highest-ranking representative of the Dance Tool Dao Academy within the ranks of Xianmen.


    He was also at the ninth level of Gold Core, and he had essentially reserved a Fruit-Feeding Elixir for himself, refined from a matured Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit.


    As the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s officialdom faction, he and Duanmu Longrong of the Hermit faction were the Nascent Soul seeds that the academy would support in the future.


    ¡°I owe a great deal to Senior Brother Wang for his mediation, which allowed me to become a councilor of the Kaiyuan Hall so smoothly,¡± Chen Mobai courteously said. He climbed the ranks swiftly; a councilor of the Kaiyuan Hall was the pinnacle for an Immortal Gate civil servant, but facing Wang Shuye, he still addressed himself as a junior of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Ha ha, with your reputation, Ye Yune would not dare to hold you back for long. Even without me, after two or three attempts, she would have approved you regardless,¡± Wang Shuye said, not mentioning why Ye Yune would be obstructing Chen Mobai, and the latter tactfully didn¡¯t ask.


    After all, Ye Yune was amongst the highest ranks of the Immortal Gate, only below those Nascent Soul Superiors in terms of power and influence.


    With Nascent Souls generally not involving themselves in such matters, Gongye Zhixu, Ye Yune, Wang Shuye, and others like them, were essentially the stewards of the Immortal Gate system.


    Chen Mobai made a mental note of Ye Yune¡¯s obstruction. If he ever reached ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he would bring up the matter again.


    Chen Mobai could be somewhat petty at times.


    But if he didn¡¯t reach Nascent Soul or if Ye Yune achieved it first, he would act as if the issue never existed.


    Until then, it was best to continue cultivating discreetly.


    In the evening, Chen Mobai dined with Wang Shuye, who mentioned some individuals of interest within the Three Great Halls of Xianmen¨Call wielders of real power, with authority no less than his own.


    Chen Mobai listened attentively while raising his glass in toast.


    Latterly, Wang Shuye mentioned some privileges of being a Kaiyuan Hall councilor, for instance, the ability to apply for Third Rank Superior Grade Spiritual Energy from Xianmen without charge, and access to the Heavenly Curtain.


    ¡°What is the Heavenly Curtain?¡± Chen Mobai always asked when he didn¡¯t understand something.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Tian Gang Pure Breath and Earth Fetal Membrane that covers the entire Di Yuan Star. These were damaged by a previous civilization, so when the Five Ancestors of Xianmen arrived, they used heavenly techniques to condense them into the ¡®Heavenly Curtain.¡¯ When fully activated, it functions as a Sixth Order Great Array.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s usually just the basic functions that are engaged, mainly to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, stars, and the Taixu breath of the cosmos, providing energy to the Sixth Grade Spirit Vein of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, nourishing the two venerable ancestors for their cultivation.¡±


    ¡°As a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, you can refine the essence of the sun into Pure Yang Purple Qi. But without this access, any essence of the sun you manage to draw in will be intercepted by the Heavenly Curtain, as it treats all Spiritual Energy within the realm of Di Yuan Star as its own.¡±


    After Wang Shuye¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why, when he used the Formless Puppet to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, it suddenly disappeared upon entering the airspace above Di Yuan Star¨Cit turned out he had been unwittingly working for the Heavenly Curtain.


    Wary that there might be other such things within Xianmen he didn¡¯t know about, he immediately continued to seek guidance, and Wang Shuye patiently informed him of each one.


    At the end, Chen Mobai hesitated, wondering whether to discuss with Wang Shuye the matter mentioned by Lan Haitian. But considering the depth of the waters involved, he surmised that it might not be advisable to entangle Wang Shuye; better not to drag him into it.


    After all, he had already reported it to the Daoist Academy. If there was a major issue, Master Chengxuan would handle it.


    If Master Chengxuan couldn¡¯t cope, there was still Ancestor Baiguang above him.


    With the deep-rooted support of their Dance Instruments Daoist Academy, as long as Chen Mobai didn¡¯t engage in illegal activities within the Immortal Gate, even if his involvement with Qing Nu¡¯s mysterious origins reached the Leading Star Ancestor, he would still be protected.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt his longstanding worries suddenly clear, and he was free from any troubles lingering in his mind.


    Before leaving, of course, he had to say farewell to Qing Nu.

    That day, a light drizzle began to fall unexpectedly. Chen Mobai used the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to transform into a colorful cloud umbrella, held above their heads as they walked side by side along a shopping street, looking from a distance like a sweet, young couple.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡°Call me if you need anything. With my current status, at the very least, I can ensure your safety.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m in Group 4, mainly responsible for medical research and experiments. I won¡¯t have those kinds of dangerous missions,¡± Qing Nu said, thinking Chen Mobai was worried about her being tasked with combat or assassination missions in the Sky-Mending Group.

 Chapter 907 - Chapter 907 Chapter 501 Return to Hometown_2

    Chapter 907: Chapter 501 Return to Hometown_2 Chapter 907: Chapter 501 Return to Hometown_2 ¡°That¡¯s good,¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded gently, then suddenly stopped. His eyes warmly gazed at Qing Women, who also turned her head in curiosity. In the instant their eyes met, her pretty face blushed involuntarily, and she lowered her head.


    Qing Women, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t respond. Instead, he extended his right index finger and lightly tapped his temple, then drew out a ¡°Divine Consciousness Thread¡± filled with his mental intentions from the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Palace.


    Afterward, he reached out and took hold of Qing Women¡¯s snow-white, delicate left hand. She symbolically struggled a little before letting him hold it.


    Qing Women¡¯s heart thudded wildly, thinking she might finally hear that awaited answer¨Cwhether she should agree immediately or pretend to wait a bit longer¨Cwhen Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Divine Consciousness Thread¡± lightly tapped on the door of her heart.


    Only the closest of relations in the Immortal Gate would communicate in this way, with heart and mind completely open to each other.


    Qing Women hesitated for a moment, but then quickly let down her guard, allowing Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Divine Consciousness Thread¡± to enter her own Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace.


    ¡°If you need anything, call me,¡±


    After the exchange of heart and mind, Chen Mobai spoke again with a calm tone.


    But by this time, Qing Women had already realized the heavy significance behind these words.


    It signified that Chen Mobai was very likely to confront other Golden Core Masters because of her, and might even face the dark forces hidden at the very top of the Immortal Gate.


    Just as Chen Mobai released her hand and turned to leave, Qing Women suddenly rushed forward and hugged him from behind, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.


    ¡°Promise me, you won¡¯t investigate this matter because of me, okay?¡±


    Feeling the softness of the beautiful woman behind him, Chen Mobai was puzzled. When had he said he would investigate this matter for Qing Women?


    He had merely told her about what Lan Haitian had said, to be careful within the Sky-Mending Group, so as not to be used by others as a pretext to confront the two Golden Core Masters from Red Sandstone City.


    Could it be that his words had caused a misunderstanding?


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, have you forgotten that I graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy? Besides the headmaster, Master Chengxuan, we also have Ancestor Baiguang¡­¡±


    Qing Women, ¡°You don¡¯t have to give up a promising future for my sake, choosing to go to Yu Wood City.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was speaking, Qing Women suddenly started to sob slightly, her emotions getting the better of her and interrupting him.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°The main reason I¡¯m going to Yu Wood City is that it¡¯s close to home; it¡¯s not as complicated as you think¡­¡±


    Qing Women, ¡°I know, you¡¯re saying this to reassure me. I really don¡¯t deserve you sacrificing so much for me, wuu wuu wuu¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve really misunderstood.¡± Before Chen Mobai could voice these words, Qing Women¡¯s sobs had escalated into loud crying.


    One clear teardrop after another slid down her pale cheeks, soaking the back of Chen Mobai¡¯s clothes.


    At this point, Chen Mobai felt that no matter what he said, she wouldn¡¯t be able to hear him. Although it was raining, since they were cultivators, there were still quite a few people around the commercial street; they stopped to watch, and some even pulled out their phones to start recording.


    Damn!


    It was only then that Chen Mobai remembered that he was somewhat of a celebrity.


    He immediately wrapped himself and the crying Qing Women with ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and left.


    Observing the somewhat off-kilter emotional state of Qing Women, Chen Mobai could only cancel his ticket for leaving that day and booked the hotel for another day.


    That day, Qing Women cried for a long time in his embrace, as though she had released all the repression and emotions that had built up in her heart for over twenty years since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had been taken away.


    Chen Mobai put himself in her shoes for a moment. His two closest people had been taken away by a heretical cult, and even though he was within an Immortal Gate, he had never been trusted. Ever since graduating from the Daoist Academy, his body and soul had been trapped within the Sky-Mending Group, constantly under surveillance.


    He felt that he could only endure such a life for a few years at most before he would inevitably flee to the Tianhe Realm.


    But Qing Women had persevered until now, simply because the Sky-Mending Group had the most comprehensive intelligence on the Ascension Sect, so she could get news about her younger siblings at the first possible moment.


    The night grew deep.


    And at some point, Qing Women, tired from crying, had fallen asleep in Chen Mobai¡¯s arms.


    He didn¡¯t dare to move, watching the delicate visage marred by tear-tracks after her crying spell, he reached out to tuck a few strands of hair that had fallen to the corner of her mouth, his fingertips grazing her snow-white, fine cheek, unable to resist softly brushing across it.


    This action seemed to have awoken Qing Nu, she rubbed her eyes and, upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s tender gaze, she relaxed, shifted her position and fell asleep again.


    Within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai came from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, had his full family around him, friends all across the world; everyone wanted to be his friend.


    But for Qing Nu, the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Jumang Academy, Chen Mobai was the only friend with whom she could be completely open and honest.


    It was only when she was with Chen Mobai that she would completely let her guard down.


    Qing Nu slept for a very long time, not waking up until the next day in the late afternoon.


    ¡°I apologize, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve had such a relaxing sleep.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a twinge of heartache.


    Qing Nu had told him that when resting within the Sky-Mending Group, she would only dare to close one eye at a time and was always on high alert.


    ¡°Maybe I should speak with Lan Haitian and have you leave the Sky-Mending Group. Come with me to Yu Wood City,¡±


    Chen Mobai said impulsively, which made Qing Nu¡¯s eyes light up with a touch of emotion, but she quickly shook her head and looked down apologetically.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t let go of Little Dust and Little Scenery.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard that she didn¡¯t agree, he actually felt a sense of relief inside.


    Bringing Qing Nu back to Yu Wood City would mark him as someone to watch out for, even if he didn¡¯t want to investigate the matter, and might inadvertently alert whoever was behind the scenes.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize; I respect all of your decisions.¡±


    These words from Chen Mobai moved Qing Nu even more, and amidst her gentle sobs, tears glistened in her eyes again.


    By the time the two of them parted ways, it was the morning of the next day.


    Qing Nu escorted Chen Mobai to the airport entrance, only turning back reluctantly, three steps at a time, after his figure had disappeared, heading back to the Sky-Mending Group.

    [Warm welcome to True Person Chen Mobai¡¯s glorious return home!]


    As soon as he got out of the airport, Chen Mobai saw huge banners with this message. The City Lord of Red Sandstone City, Qin Baipeng, was there personally with leaders from various departments waiting for him.


    Standing beside Qin Baipeng, naturally, were Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Why go to so much trouble? I¡¯m just visiting my hometown for a bit before I head over to take up my post in Yu Wood City,¡±


    Chen Mobai said, pointing to the crowd on the outskirts, the exaggerated banners, and even the support signs with his image on them¨Ca treatment surpassing even that of the biggest stars¨Cthen he shook his head.


    His words made Qin Baipeng hurry to explain that it was the citizens who came to welcome him on their own initiative, showing their pride in True Person Chen Mobai, not something officially organized by them.


    Chen Mobai took it for a spontaneous event, having no intention of walking a populist path. After waving to the throng outside, he left the airport with Qin Baipeng and the others.


    The banquet seemed unavoidable, with Tang Panchui insisting, and Qin Baipeng among others fanning the flames, Chen Mobai¡¯s return home after Core Formation dominated Red Sandstone City¡¯s headlines for three days and nights.


    After entertaining colleagues from the Immortal Gate, local Foundation Establishment cultivators, employees from various departments, as well as family and friends who had heard the news and come running, Chen Mobai finally got a break.


    His grandfather Tang Lu also brought half the village to Red Sandstone City, as they all claimed some relation to them.

    This was Tang Panchui¡¯s home field¨Cshe was the most excited person since Chen Mobai¡¯s return. She personally tended to every guest, even wanting to meet Chen Mobai¡¯s classmates.


    Following the never-ending banquet, her excitement didn¡¯t dwindle, as she began frequenting the square where she regularly went dancing. Since Chen Mobai had hit the headlines, whenever someone mentioned it, she would nonchalantly add, ¡°Did you know my son achieved Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai stayed in Red Sandstone City for a while, visited by a constant stream of people every day.


    Feeling overwhelmed, he considered heading to Yu Wood City sooner, when he suddenly got a call from an unexpected person.


    ¡°You little rascal, growing wings now? You come back home after achieving Core Formation and don¡¯t come to pay respects to this local snake,¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became slightly odd as he listened to Yu Tianguang¡¯s words over the phone.

 Chapter 908 - Chapter 908 502

    Chapter 908: 502 Chapter 908: 502 If it were any other time, Chen Mobai would definitely have grabbed some fruits and gone to visit Yu Tianguang.


    But since he learned from Lan Haitian that Yu might possibly be from the Ascension Sect, the always cautious Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to take the risk of meeting him, even with the Purple Electric Sword in hand.


    Moreover, in the eyes of the Immortal Gate, Yu Tianguang was one of the suspects, and it wouldn¡¯t look good for Chen to be seen with him.


    He simply used the excuse that he was about to take up his post in Yu Wood City, expressing regret that he couldn¡¯t visit Cinnabarite Institute.


    Yu Tianguang seemed to be somewhat unhappy about this and hung up the phone directly.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care whether this would startle the snake, since it was a matter for the Sky-Mending Group, but since he¡¯d said as much over the phone, he couldn¡¯t stay in Red Sandstone City either.


    He said goodbye to his family that evening and left early the next day.


    Yu Wood City.


    Bordering Red Sandstone City and one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, this city is most famed for its vast forestry resources, and the Spirit Wood for Chen Mobai¡¯s talisman factory was all sourced from here.


    The people of Yu Wood City basically understood Spirit Plants, and each household would grow a distinctly unique Spirit Wood in their yard, a tradition originating from the city¡¯s most famous City Lord, Yu Zi.


    This Yu Zi was also the only Golden Core Master in the history of Yu Wood City and a Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Master.


    He led the city to evolve from traditional handicrafts to the modern forestry powerhouse it is now, and he established the Immortal Gate¡¯s greening regulations.


    The Blue Elm he personally planted, with over three thousand years of care by countless Spirit Plant Masters, became the only fourth-grade Spirit Wood in Yu Wood City.


    After arriving, Chen Mobai made it his first stop to visit.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, this is Guda Courtyard. There is a fourth-grade lower class Spirit Vein funded specifically by the Immortal Gate that runs directly here, all to nurture this fourth-grade elm.¡±


    Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yu Wood City, brought Chen Mobai to an ancient-looking courtyard, and at its center stood a tall Spirit Wood with lush green leaves and sprawling branches.


    This place was also considered a historic site. When Chen Mobai was a child in Green Mountain Village, his grandfather had spoken of it, leaving a deep impression, so upon his arrival, he expressed a desire to pay homage to the heritage of his predecessors.


    Such a humble request was naturally swiftly arranged by the authorities of Yu Wood City.


    Wen Ping was a gentle-faced, slender old man, a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master, a local from Yu Wood City who grew up here. He studied at Qing Sang Academy and after graduating from Foundation Establishment, he joined the forestry bureau through civil service exams, and gradually rose through the ranks.


    ¡°I will have someone tidy it up later, and you, Councilor Chen, can move in tonight directly.¡±


    Being one to govern a city, Wen Ping naturally understood subtleties and thought that Chen Mobai wanted to take over Guda Courtyard, given its connection to the fourth-grade Spirit Vein.


    ¡°I¡¯m just here for a visit, to feel the spirit of the predecessors. There¡¯s no need to move in,¡± Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. He had already used his Void Spirit Eye to see that the Spirit Vein Aura of Guda Courtyard was just enough to sustain the needs of a fourth-grade Spirit Wood. If he were to move in and use it for cultivation, it would affect the growth of the Spirit Wood.


    Even though no one in Yu Wood City would have said anything if he had done so, it would not look good if word got out.


    After all, with how widespread the internet is nowadays and with Chen being the latest sensation, there were many waiting to ride on his coattails.


    His grandfather Tang Lu once said that as an official, one can choose not to act, but must not make mistakes.


    And the best way to avoid mistakes is to do nothing at all.


    As Chen Mobai had just arrived in Yu Wood City, it would be better not to act until he became more familiar with the people here, Wen Ping¡¯s faction included.


    After the visit to Guda Courtyard, Chen Mobai briefly met the heads of various departments in Yu Wood City, then tactfully declined all kinds of hints and temptations, leaving with Song Mutu, the former principal of Qing Sang Academy who had come early to wait for him.


    Song Mutu was a teacher at the Jumang Academy by appointment, and also a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master, just one term junior to Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°Wen Ren senior is extraordinarily talented. I thought the Immortal Gate would not see another person with more exceptional talent than her until your appearance, President Chen.¡±


    Song Mutu had an ordinary appearance, but was quite humorous and quickly used their mutual acquaintance Wen Ren Xuewei to bridge their relationship.


    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s too kind. Compared to Wen Ren senior who had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, my talent pales in comparison.¡±


    Within the Immortal Gate, there were not many that Chen Mobai admired, but Wen Ren Xuewei was one of them. He had labored with the resources of the Tianhe Realm to raise his fire spiritual roots value to above 80.

    And yet Wen Ren Xuewei, even with the limited resources of the Immortal Gate, achieved the cultivation of Lasting Spring Cultivation with a three-lined Heavenly Spiritual Root, rightfully earning the title of the number one talent in the Immortal Gate.


    Most importantly, she had stabilized her Nascent Soul and was surely to take over the Jumang Academy, becoming one of the pinnacles of the Immortal Gate in the future.


    ¡°President Chen, let me first introduce you to the basics of Qing Sang Academy¡­¡±


    After exchanging courtesies, they arrived at the academy. Unlike the two academies in Red Sandstone City which were built on mountains, this was on a plain. However, various species of Spirit Wood were planted in circles according to a plan, with youthful boys and girls in groups taking care and observing them.


    The Qing Sang Academy initially started as a co-managed school by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy, with the intent to breed Qingsang silkworms and harvest their silk to weave the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe and Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt.

 Chapter 909 - Chapter 909 Chapter 502 Return to Tianhe Realm_2

    Chapter 909: Chapter 502: Return to Tianhe Realm_2 Chapter 909: Chapter 502: Return to Tianhe Realm_2 Previously, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had bred some fire silkworms over here, but as the operation grew in scale, the resources provided by the mulberry trees became insufficient. Hence, they called upon the experts from Jumang Academy to assist them.


    Since its establishment, over five hundred years ago, Qing Sang Academy has ranked first among the Immortal Gates in sericulture and in the cultivation of mulberry trees.


    In addition to these, the weaving department is also well-known. The cultivation of various kinds of spirit wood, apart from mulberry trees, is also included in the curriculum taught at the academy.


    ¡°Teacher Song has made remarkable contributions.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was very satisfied with Qing Sang Academy. The Bai Er Shi Fu under the Immortal Gates specialized in various fields, such as the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute in Red City Cave Heaven, known for their research into lifespan.


    The fact that Qing Sang Academy ranked first in two specialties showed the tireless efforts of the successive principals.


    ¡°Not at all, I merely did my duty. With Principal Chen¡¯s arrival, our academy will surely rank first in even more specialties in the future.¡±


    Song Mutu said modestly. At this moment, a group of students approached, led by a handsome young teacher. He recognized Song Mutu and immediately came over to greet him, and then his gaze landed on Chen Mobai, causing a slight change in his expression.


    ¡°I¡¯ve met Principal Chen¡­ Vice-principal Song.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been making headlines in the Immortal Gate recently. The news of him choosing to take up the position of principal at Qing Sang Academy had not yet spread outside, but the academy¡¯s internal departments had already been notified by the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the young teacher hesitated before deciding to address him as the principal.


    ¡°Hello Teacher Gu, please continue with your class.¡±


    Song Mutu nodded and addressed the young teacher.


    ¡°Have we met before?¡±


    Just as the young teacher was about to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    ¡°The principal may forget things because he meets so many people. In our youth, I had the honor of sharing a train ride with you. My name is Gu Mingxuan.¡±


    Gu Mingxuan did not hide anything and looked up as he spoke to Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai scrutinized his face and indeed found the memory of that scene within his recollections.


    It was him.


    Back then, a young and frivolous Chen Mobai encountered him, Shi Wanyu, Wen Xiong, and others on the train and had put on quite the act.


    In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed.


    ¡°If Teacher Gu has spare time, you are welcome to visit my office.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Gu Mingxuan, who after hearing this, hesitated to speak and then bowed his head and turned to leave.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Principal Chen to know Teacher Gu. He passed the Military Department¡¯s assessment as a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master and is a new teacher we at Qing Sang Academy are focusing on nurturing.¡±


    After Gu Mingxuan left, Song Mutu started to speak about his background and reasons for joining the academy.


    Within the Immortal Gate, after all, only a minority could reach Foundation Establishment.


    Apart from the Daoist Academies guaranteeing every teacher had at least reached Foundation Establishment, Bai Er Shi Fu only had principals and key department heads at that realm.


    The rest of the teaching staff were generally at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, but they made sure to possess the Immortal Gate¡¯s Rank-2 professional certificate.


    Gu Mingxuan was one of them.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, not placing too much importance on it, as he was merely surprised to encounter an acquaintance.


    The two continued to tour Qing Sang Academy¡¯s mulberry gardens, sericulture yards¡­


    ¡°Teacher Gu, is that our new principal?¡±


    ¡°He looks so young, almost like one of us.¡±


    ¡°After all, he¡¯s the youngest among all the Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Gate to achieve Core Formation.¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, the excitement in the voices of the students that Gu Mingxuan was leading could be heard as they began to discuss animatedly.


    Some had even started recording videos on their phones during the encounter, already editing and preparing to upload them.


    After all, just including the name Chen Mobai in a headline now guaranteed a surge in traffic.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, students, today we¡¯ll observe the agarwood trees,¡±


    Gu Mingxuan immediately cut off their excitement and brought them back to the reality of class. Nonetheless, as he led the students away, he couldn¡¯t help but glance back at Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure, feeling a tinge of sadness in his heart.


    Back on the train, although they were worlds apart, he at least felt that he could compare himself to Chen Mobai.


    But now, they weren¡¯t even in the same dimension any longer.


    Thinking about what he knew, Gu Mingxuan¡¯s eyes flickered with struggle, but he eventually let out a sigh.


    Chen Mobai had reached the Gold Core realm!


    He was even the Supreme Emperor of the whole Yu Wood City.


    He, a mere junior cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, should probably mind his own business.


    ¡­


    After getting to know Qing Sang Academy with Song Mutu, Chen Mobai decided to follow Xiao¡¯s rule and allowed the academy to continue operating as it had before.


    After all, his main reason for being here as the headmaster was for tranquility.


    If he got involved in the running of the academy, there was no saying whether it would get better or not, but his energy would definitely be divided to some extent. He¡¯d rather use that time to manage affairs in the Tianhe Realm properly.


    After staying at Qing Sang Academy for seven days, Chen Mobai chose an independent courtyard not far from campus as his home here, and naturally, he bought it outright with his current status.


    Then he applied for a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein from Immortal Gate, which was a perk of being a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor and came free of charge.


    Since the pipelines for Spirit Veins of rank three and above needed upgrading, and luckily this Third Rank Spirit Vein source was right at Qing Sang Academy, and it was for him, a Golden Core Master, it only took three days under the personal supervision of Wen Ping to direct the Spiritual Energy to Chen Mobai¡¯s new residence in Yu Wood City.


    Two months passed quickly, and Chen Mobai got used to everything here. Meanwhile, Yu Wood City and Qing Sang Academy went from initial turbulence to calm waters, due partly to Chen Mobai deliberately keeping a low profile and staying out of affairs.


    Wen Ping and Song Mutu had nothing but praise for Chen Mobai. When chatting with their colleagues and alumni, they would say that Councilor Chen (Headmaster) knew how to utilize and understand people, and since his appointment, the ambiance in the city and the academy had become much clearer, even the trees were growing better.


    In such circumstances, Chen Mobai left behind a Formless Puppet and returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡­


    Boom!


    Chen Mobai, stepping out of a desolate mountain cave dwelling, looked up at the sudden appearance of dark clouds in the sky, along with the wildly converging nature¡¯s spiritual energy and the flickering lightning, and couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    As he expected, after Core Formation and returning to the Tianhe Realm, he had to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Although he was 70 to 80 percent confident he could easily overcome it, to ensure a complete success, he decided to make use of the Large Formation of Divine Wood Sect after returning there to transcend the tribulation.


    After performing the completely mastered Returning Essence Secret Technique, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea began to hide away into the All Laws Persona. As his cultivation level continuously decreased, the Tribulation Thunder in the sky initially flashing wildly started to hesitate and eventually faded away slowly due to the lack of a target.


    Watching the dissipation of the clouds in the sky, Chen Mobai nodded his head.


    This Returning Essence Secret Technique was indeed extraordinary, it was just a pity that for this secret technique, he lost his most obedient little apprentice.


    Every time Chen Mobai thought of Luo Yixuan, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    But now that he had formed his Gold Core, he could at least deal with the Eastern Wasteland with composure, hoping that in the years it took him to form his core, his little apprentice hadn¡¯t encountered any mishaps.


    Chen Mobai identified the direction and, riding on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± was about to fly towards the Eastern Wasteland.


    This was an area between the East Barbarians and the Eastern Wasteland, filled with continuous mountains and dense forests, hiding unspeakable weirdness and demonic beasts. Without a cultivator familiar with the paths to guide them, it was easy to get lost and end up as a pile of bones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    When Chen Mobai left Divine Wood Sect, it was ostensibly to go to the Sun Bathing Sea by the Golden Crow Immortal City for Core Formation, but after leaving the Eastern Wasteland, he directly returned to Immortal Gate.


    However, to draw attention, he still sent one of his Formless Puppets to the East Barbarians.


    Now that his Core Formation was successful, he could recall the puppet.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes and stimulated his Divine Sense, but he realized that the Formless Puppet seemed to be trapped in a place and unable to move. He uttered a surprised sound.


    In his perception, that place wasn¡¯t far from him.

 Chapter 910 - Chapter 910 Chapter 503 Land of Ruins

    Chapter 910: Chapter 503: Land of Ruins Chapter 910: Chapter 503: Land of Ruins Chen Mobai flew for a while and soon arrived near where the Formless Puppet was located.


    He manipulated the Puppetry Technique, trying to summon the Formless Puppet, but after a long wait, he found the puppet remained motionless. After circling the area, he still couldn¡¯t detect any trace of the puppet.


    Chen Mobai sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to sense the puppet with his Divine Sense.


    After achieving Core Formation, he was able to unleash the full power of this peak Immortal Gate puppet, so he quickly found its location following the coordinates in his Divine Sense.


    As if breaking through a barrier, once he opened his eyes, Chen Mobai, borrowing the puppet¡¯s field of vision, looked around and couldn¡¯t help but wear a look of astonishment and doubt.


    He was inside an underground cave, where pure Spiritual Energy flowed abundantly in mid-air. He used the puppet¡¯s built-in features to measure and found a Rank-3 Lower-grade Spiritual Energy Value.


    How had the puppet gotten in here?


    With this question in mind, this strand of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense began to activate the Formless Puppet and saw that the Top-grade Spirit Stone placed in its power core only had 2% of its Spiritual Energy left, almost completely depleted.


    Logically, this Top-grade Spirit Stone should be enough to maintain the puppet¡¯s normal operations for more than a dozen years without intense combat.


    He activated the puppet¡¯s low-power mode and drained the last bit of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone, then began to head toward the ground.


    If the Spirit Stone had been fully charged, he would have been able to use the Formless Puppet to simulate Sword Qi to break through the ground and emerge, but now, he could only follow the path of the underground cave slowly.


    After walking some distance, Chen Mobai saw through the puppet¡¯s eyes skeleton after skeleton, both of human cultivators and demonic beasts, as if this place was some sort of feeding ground for a certain monster.


    What surprised him was that beside a human cultivator¡¯s skeleton, he found a Storage Bag.


    Walking and picking up as he went, by the time the Formless Puppet reached the surface, it carried three more Storage Bags.


    ¡°Strange, what exactly is this place below?¡±


    The Chen Mobai sitting cross-legged above ground opened his eyes and looked at the Formless Puppet now in front of him covered in dust, then took out a new Top-grade Spirit Stone and inserted it into the puppet.


    Amidst the clinking and clattering noises, Chen Mobai emptied the contents of the three Storage Bags.


    And he discovered something quite astonishing.


    All the Spiritual Stone Spiritual Qi inside was drained, reduced to a state of desiccation and fragmentation, and even some Magic Artifacts had their Spiritual Light dimmed, seeming to have lost their effectiveness after being eroded by the long passage of time.


    Chen Mobai recognized some familiar designs, the Golden Halberds from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, and also some Golden Crystals.


    Could the person who died down there be a disciple of the great Eastern Yi Clan?


    Unfortunately, the Gold Qi contained in the Golden Crystals, which is a variant of Spiritual Energy, was also drained like the Spirit Stones, or else Chen Mobai could have taken the chance to cultivate the Precious Golden Light technique.


    ¡°Let me see what exactly happened,¡± he said.


    After replacing the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai immediately accessed the data stored in the core of the Formless Puppet. Starting from the darkness that ensued when the Spirit Stone was exhausted and shutting down, he flipped forward and finally saw what was key.


    The ground suddenly split open, and a giant mouth emerged, swallowing towards the sky. The Formless Puppet, which was traveling in mid-air, began to struggle.


    With the Spirit Stone¡¯s Spiritual Qi sufficient, the Formless Puppet could exert strength nearly comparable to a Core Formation, but still, it barely escaped the dreadful devouring force.


    It was unfortunate that after escaping once, it then encountered it a second and a third time¡­


    By the fourth occasion, the Spirit Stone of the Formless Puppet was exhausted, and it could no longer sustain itself; it was swallowed by the split earth and fell into darkness.


    Until Chen Mobai¡¯s return sensed it and awakened it.


    ¡°Is it a deliberate targeting, or just such bad luck encountering this strangeness?¡±


    In the land of ruins between the Eastern Wilderness and the Eastern Yi, there exist many unknown mysterious forces and strong demonic beasts. Originally, Eastern Yi and Eastern Wilderness were part of this region, but it was later cleared by the disciples and sect members from the major factions of East Land, forming what is now the Six Domains of East Land.


    Although human cultivators dominate the Tianhe Realm, demons, ghost cultivators, and others do not fall behind. Beyond the Six Domains of East Land, there are Demon Holy Lands.


    The Dongli Territory, in particular, has always been a buffer zone between the human race and the demon tribe, and also a battlefield.


    Devil Cultivators can take root and grow there because East Land needs them as the first barrier to resist the demon tribe.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, at times, Devil Cultivators can become crazed; in alliance with the demon tribe, they will attack East Land. During the most dangerous times, nearly half of East Land was about to fall, and many Holy Lands were prepared for the demise of their ancestral lands, arranging for their core disciples to carry the legacy and flee to the remote Land of Ruins.


    Dongyi, Eastern Wilderness, Dongwu, and other domains were established as a result of these events.


    In these lands of ruins, there are also numerous dangers, such as the Yellow Dragon Monster that has dominated the Yunmeng River for thousands of years, rampaging across three domains with no one to control it.


    Fortunately, among the descendants of the pioneer cultivators, a True Monarch Yuan emerged, and after achieving Divinity Transformation, he swept through the Rank-4 and above demonic beasts of this Land of Ruins. Otherwise, without the presence of Nascent Soul Cultivators to oversee, it would have been impossible to survive safely in this Land of Ruins.


    Chen Mobai thought of the content he had read in the annals of the Divine Wood Sect and his face subtly changed, a solemn look in his eyes as he gazed at the earth that had swallowed the Formless Puppet.

 Chapter 911 - Chapter 911 Chapter 503 Land of Ruins_2

    Chapter 911: Chapter 503 Land of Ruins_2 Chapter 911: Chapter 503 Land of Ruins_2 More than six thousand years have passed since True Lord Yuan ascended, and it¡¯s quite possible that Demonic Beasts and oddities in the Land of Ruins could birth a Rank-4 being again.


    Such an existence would be equivalent to a Nascent Soul.


    Just as Chen Mobai was wondering whether to use the Formless Puppet again to probe further, two streaks of Spiritual Light suddenly appeared within the range of his Divine Sense.


    His expression subtly changed, and with a flash of silver light, he had already hidden within the Golden Core Domain.


    However, the Formless Puppet, after being reloaded with Spirit Stones, had concealed all spiritual energy fluctuations and was hiding under a large tree.


    After waiting for a while, the two streaks of Spiritual Light had flown overhead.


    They were two Foundation Establishment Practitioners, one in flight, the other in hot pursuit.


    ¡°I am a disciple of the Kong Sang Valley; if you kill me, my sect will never let you off.¡±


    A voice full of indignation rose, and a female cultivator in a purple dress with a fair and delicate appearance was seen controlling a Purple Bamboo Flute, struggling to fend off the attacks of a cultivator clad in black robes and a pitch-black mask, revealing only a pair of pale pupils.


    Golds of golden light shone dazzlingly as the black-robed cultivator waved his hands, turning them into a golden flood that poured down at the purple-dressed female cultivator, the powerful spiritual power fluctuations causing the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble continuously.


    The quality of the flutelike Magic Artifact in the hands of the purple-dressed female cultivator was ordinary, and after persisting for a while, it cracked open.


    She gritted her teeth and took out a flower basket from her Storage Bag, a beam of clear light emerging from the basket, struggling to resist the golden light.


    ¡°Surrender your Storage Bag to me, and I¡¯ll spare your life,¡± said the masked cultivator deliberately in a hoarse voice, but his hands did not stop, conjuring another stream of golden light, the intense spiritual power fluctuations showcasing his strength.


    ¡°You make no attempt to conceal the techniques of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, obviously not intending to let me go at all.¡±


    The purple-dressed female cultivator dropped her pretense as well, her tone icy as she took out a dark green talisman. She bit her tongue and spat out a drop of Essence Blood to activate it.


    ¡°Dark Green Divine Thunder Talisman!¡±


    The masked cultivator recognized the talisman too and expressed a hint of surprise, finally taking out his own Magic Artifact, which was a golden round ring, its spiritual power fluctuations showing it to be at least a Second Rank Superior Grade artifact.


    ¡°Round Gold Ring, so it is you¡­¡±


    Seeing the Magic Artifact, the purple-dressed female cultivator also recognized the identity of her pursuer, and with a clench of her teeth, she took out another defensive talisman to activate.


    But just as both were pushing their spiritual power to the utmost, the disturbance in nature¡¯s spiritual energy finally triggered a mysterious existence underground.


    The ground began to tremble, and then cracked open, a fissure enlarging as if it were a vast gaping mouth.


    An intense swallowing force immediately enveloped the two combatants in the sky.


    ¡°Not good¡­¡±


    At that point, the two could no longer afford to attack each other. They desperately activated their Escape Skills, with a purple and a golden streak of Spiritual Light flickering violently, struggling hard against the swallowing force as they tried to fly outwards.


    However, with only their Foundation Establishment Cultivation Levels, they clearly couldn¡¯t resist. Instead, their figures gradually fell towards the gaping mouth that had opened up in the ground.


    Spurt! Spurt!


    Hidden in the shadows, Chen Mobai finally witnessed the determination of the native cultivators of the Tianhe Realm; both parties spit out a large mouthful of Essence Blood, surrounded by protective clouds of blood mist. But in that instant, the speed of their Escape Skill suddenly broke through its limits.


    Afterward, they each aimed their talismans and Magic Artifacts toward the ground, unleashing their most powerful strikes, and they actually escaped the range of the swallowing force.


    Yet just as the two thought they had escaped their plight, the great maw that had cracked open in the earth suddenly shifted directions, appearing swiftly beneath the masked cultivator.


    The ground once again split open, and with this swallowing force, the masked cultivator used every trick he had, nearly exhausting his essence blood until he became emaciated, his exposed skin shriveling up before he finally managed to escape by the skin of his teeth.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm indeed possess incredible resilience, never giving up until the very end.


    Seeing all this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give him a nod of approval.


    Alas, faced with the third opening of the earth fissure, the mask-wearing cultivator had exhausted his Essence Elixir and was without any means to save himself, ultimately consumed by the bowels of the earth in despair.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s formless puppet quickly captured the true identity of what was in front of it.


    It was a lump that resembled neither stone nor flesh, exuding a pitch-black luster¨Ca Tai Sui.


    This was indeed a precious spiritual medicine.


    The Tai Sui, also known as Meat Ganoderma, was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, capable of continuously devouring spiritual substances for growth.


    From Rank-1 to Rank-5, red as coral, white as fat, black as lacquer, green as emerald feathers, and yellow as purple gold, all shining brightly and as clear as solid ice.


    During his time reading in the Repairing Heaven Institute within the immortal gate, Chen Mobai heard Lou Fengcheng mention that in their minor realm they raised a Rank-4 Tai Sui; every time they refined the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, they would cut a piece from it, and after cutting, feed it to some spiritual objects, allowing it to grow back quickly¨Cit was a well-known sustainable development model for spiritual medicine in the immortal gates.


    The lump of Tai Sui in front of him was as black as ink and glimmering, evidently a Rank-3 spiritual object, nearing the peak of Rank-3.


    Chen Mobai was tempted in an instant¨Cif he could capture it, at least one main ingredient needed for the future refinement of the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine could be spared from his collection.


    At this time, the Tai Sui had changed direction beneath the ground again. It seemed to possess an earth escape technique, quickly positioning itself under the feet of the woman in purple.


    The earth cracked open, and once more, the force of consumption manifested.


    When the woman in purple felt despair, a sizzling sound, like that of a bird¡¯s call, rang out from the distance.


    She looked up to see a majestic youth stepping out from the void like an immortal descending to earth, rallying all nature¡¯s spiritual energy in his palm as a surge of lush green thunderous light burst forth in an instant, piercing heavily into the spreading gap in the earth.


    With the Wood Attribute overpowering Earth, Chen Mobai, after reaching Core Formation, manifested the true power of this Rank-3 perfected Wood Attribute Thunder method for the first time.


    With a thunderous roar!


    The ground began to tremble, and streams of pitch-black Tai Sui blood emerged from the fissure, while an overwhelming and boundless surge of Earth Element force erupted, turning into a yellow glow that struggled to expel the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    Although the Tai Sui lacked understanding of cultivation, after who knows how many years of devouring spiritual beings in this Land of Ruins, the elemental force within its body was vast and boundless, near the superior grade of Rank-3. Relying on its powerful elemental energy, it suppressed the Wood Attribute lightning and, shrinking on the spot, seemed to want to hide deeper into the earth.


    But at that moment, Chen Mobai had already triggered a killing move from his Red Flame Sword Jue. Nine Green Flames Sword Slaughters were buried into the ground in advance, forming a green net, capturing the Tai Sui just as it started to descend.


    The Tai Sui sunk a little, only to feel such excruciating pain that its whole body seemed as if it were about to be sliced and diced into a million pieces. Instinctual dread made it try to shift left and right.


    However, the green net, tightening towards the center with a grip of Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand, closed in!


    After a pitiful cry, the Tai Sui had no choice but to rush towards the yet-to-close gap in the net, which was the upper part.


    Boom!


    The earth shattered entirely, and a huge clump of black flesh tainted with the aroma of soil and copious elemental earth force burst forth, charging towards Chen Mobai suspended in the sky.


    Amidst the startled exclamations of the woman in purple, an ancient bronze mirror flew out of Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, transforming into a vast round shield that blocked the desperate strike of the Tai Sui head-on.


    With a muffled ¡°thud¡±, Chen Mobai¡¯s form trembled slightly.


    This Tai Sui¡¯s elemental energy was excessively abundant; had he not relied on the power of a magic artifact, he might not have been able to withstand the blow.


    After the first impact, the earthy yellow elemental energy around the Tai Sui intensified, indicating it was prepared for a desperate strike.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand, controlling the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, clenched together, and the green net wrapping the Tai Sui fiercely stabbed out streaks of blue-green light, instantly piercing it inside and out.

    Following a huge cry of agony, the purple-robed woman witnessed the formidable Rank-3 demonic beast that had overwhelmed her, now resembling a green porcupine, scattering black liquid across the sky as it plummeted towards the ground.


    This liquid was also a spiritual object, and Chen Mobai did not waste it, using the Water Controlling Technique to collect it all.


    But naturally, the most valuable item was still this Tai Sui.


    He attached a talisman that sealed spiritual sense to it, and since he had no Spirit Beast Bag and this being was alive, he could only store it temporarily in his domain.


    After completing all this, he turned his gaze to the purple-robed woman cultivator remaining in the nearby half-air.

 Chapter 912 - Chapter 912 Chapter 504 An Accident Has Occurred

    Chapter 912: Chapter 504 An Accident Has Occurred Chapter 912: Chapter 504 An Accident Has Occurred Xiao Lingri flew in midair, anxious as she waited for the Core Formation senior who had mysteriously appeared to decide her fate.


    Although she still had a secret technique that could risk her life, she was very clear that due to the vast difference between their realms, even if she had ten secret techniques at her disposal, she wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from the palm of a Core Formation cultivator.


    ¡°I wonder if this senior just happened to pass by, or if he was specifically waiting here for this demonic beast?¡±


    As Xiao Lingri panicked and fretted, Chen Mobai merely glanced at her before turning into a fiery red Escaping Light and disappearing into the distance.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Xiao Lingri¡¯s eyes widened, her heart becoming even more fearful.


    In the Tianhe Realm, there was no such thing as rescuing someone on the road and lending a helping sword. According to the rules, if a senior saved someone, they should be rewarded with Spirit Stones or some other precious items in return.


    Xiao Lingri was just thinking about how the most valuable thing she had, the Purple Bamboo Flute Artifact, was already damaged, and she also had half of a Top-Grade Spirit Stone and several Intermediate-Grade Spirit Stones. She wondered whether the senior would be interested in them.


    But the other party had simply left.


    Could it be that he was planning to come back later to kill her and take her entire Storage Bag?


    But that¡¯s not right. As a Core Formation Cultivator, it would be easy to kill her on the spot and destroy all traces of her. Even the Nascent Soul Ancestors of Kong Sang Valley wouldn¡¯t be able to find any clues.


    Why make the extra effort?


    Or is he testing my sincerity?


    While Xiao Lingri was fearfully waiting in the same place, Chen Mobai had already headed towards the Eastern Wilderness.


    He was not much of a social person. Although according to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, he should have killed Xiao Lingri to silence her and seized her Storage Bag.


    But Chen Mobai did have some principles, and that reason alone was not enough to compel him to kill.


    On his way to the Eastern Wilderness, he sat on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± took out Tai Sui from the Realm Domain, and looked at it.


    This lump of Spiritual Object had now completely shrunk into a ball. Under the confinement of the Green Flame Sword Net, it trembled ceaselessly.


    However, the hundreds of wounds that had been pierced by the Sword Sha had all healed by now. If it weren¡¯t for some blackened traces visible, Chen Mobai would have thought that the Tai Sui hadn¡¯t been wounded at all.


    Indeed, compared to other Spiritual Medicines, the greatest innate ability of Tai Sui was its self-recovery capability.


    After portioning off part of it, as long as it was provided with sufficient Spiritual Energy, it would be able to recover to its whole state over time.


    It was precisely because of this that the Tai Sui raised by the Repairing Heaven Institute had shown signs of evolving into a Rank-5 over the course of thousands of years.


    Unfortunately, the transformation of Spiritual Medicines was extremely difficult, and since the Immortal Gate itself didn¡¯t have much Spiritual Energy, the Tai Sui remained at Rank-4.


    Chen Mobai had caught this Tai Sui not knowing how many years it had grown, but with such rich Elemental Energy, nearly at the Third Rank Superior Grade. If it had not been for the lack of Cultivation Method and merely absorbing Spiritual Energy on instinct, unable to unleash its full strength, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have been able to capture it so easily.


    But this was characteristic of the Tianhe Realm.


    Master-disciple relations are extremely protective over the inheritance of Cultivation Techniques. For demonic beasts and Spiritual Objects to obtain a Cultivation Method was harder than reaching the heavens.


    Powerful demonic beasts could obtain Innate Divine Abilities from their ancient ancestral bloodline during the advancement process. However, for Spiritual Herbs and such, there had never been any talk of achieving Ascendance to greatness.


    So, after Chen Mobai scared it a bit with the Sword Sha, it was relatively easy to establish a contract through Divine Sense and a Blood Curse with this Tai Sui.


    From now on, this Tai Sui was also considered his Spirit Pet.


    After the contract was signed, Chen Mobai released the net formed by the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    He was just about to cut off a piece of Tai Sui when the latter suddenly erupted with a strong Earth Element force, plunging directly from the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± towards the ground with great force.


    It seemed to be trying to escape.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression was odd as he made a Seal Formula. The freshly-signed contract was activated, and the Tai Sui, which had just reached mid-air, suddenly let out a pitiful scream. Following that, it convulsed and lost control over the Earth Element force, crashing down to the ground and making a huge noise.


    ¡°It¡¯s as naive as a three-year-old child,¡± Chen Mobai sighed as he watched the Tai Sui suffer the contract¡¯s backlash and landed, scooping it back onto the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk.¡±


    Obviously, this Tai Sui had no understanding or fear of the contract at all. As soon as Chen Mobai lifted the Sword Net restriction, it thought it had a chance to escape and made a beeline for the ground.


    Being a product of the earth itself, it had the Innate Earth Escape ability from birth. As long as it made contact with the ground, it could disappear into the depths of the earth at the fastest speed.

    Previously, Chen Mobai had managed to capture it by luring its attention with Yi Wood Divine Thunder and secretly embedding the Sword Sha in the ground around it to form an impenetrable net.


    Regrettably, now that they had signed a contract, even if Tai Sui escaped to the Ends of the Earth, Chen Mobai could easily retrieve it.


    Afterward, Tai Sui attempted to escape six or seven more times, each time resulting in being punished by the contract. After wreaking havoc through a forest and overturning a couple of small mountains, it finally understood a bit.


    It couldn¡¯t leave the side of this human. The further it went, the more agonizing pain it felt throughout its body as if it was going to crumble apart.


    With this realization, although it still had no idea what the contract was, it at least wouldn¡¯t leave the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± again.

 Chapter 913 - Chapter 913 Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_2

    Chapter 913: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_2 Chapter 913: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_2 Then, to curry favor with Chen Mobai, it even spit out the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace Foundation Establishment Practitioner it had swallowed before and nudged the half-digested corpse towards him, implying that he could have the leftovers.


    Chen Mobai wordlessly used Qingyang Fire to burn the corpse to ashes, and the blob-like Tai Sui trembled upon seeing this, appearing to be quite heartbroken.


    But it dared not say anything else and shrank to the very edge of the misty clouds.


    Apart from the corpse, Tai Sui also spit out a storage bag and the Round Gold Ring Artifact.


    Since it didn¡¯t have time to digest them, these items were still intact, and Chen Mobai had carefully avoided burning them.


    The Rank-2 upper-grade artifact was of no use to him anymore. After seeing it, he tossed it into his domain; however, he was still hopeful about opening the storage bag.


    After all, the first storage bag he had opened in the Tianhe Realm had brought him the first large sum of spirit stones necessary for cultivating the Pure Yang Body; the memory was quite delightful.


    With his Gold Core second layer¡¯s powerful divine sense, opening a Foundation Establishment Practitioner¡¯s storage bag was naturally a breeze.


    Soon enough, an assortment of various items piled up on the cloud, but what caught Chen Mobai¡¯s attention the most was a pile of dark gold crystals.


    These were Golden Crystals, and after counting, there were a total of thirty-eight.


    Based on market value, this was more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, these Golden Crystals could take his Precious Golden Light to the next level.


    Besides the Golden Crystals, there were three top-grade Spirit Stones, alongside a number of intermediate and lower-grade ones, but Chen Mobai no longer felt any emotional fluctuations from such quantities.


    As for the other elixirs, talismans, and artifacts, Chen Mobai glanced at them and tossed them all into his miscellaneous storage bag. They would be perfect as rewards for his two disciples once he returned to the sect.


    After opening the storage bag, Chen Mobai immediately began using a Golden Crystal to cultivate Precious Golden Light on the spot.


    After Core Formation, his refining speed had greatly improved.


    On the way back to the Eastern Wilderness, while training Tai Sui, he refined the Golden Crystal in his palm which visibly shrank in size.


    Based on this pace, he estimated that it would take about two months to refine one.


    Compared with the two years it took during the Foundation Establishment phase, it was like heaven and earth.


    At that moment, he finally flew into the Eastern Wilderness territory.


    Bordering the entrance of the Ruins were Sky Country, Rock Country, and Rainbow Country.


    However, Sky Country had a path opened by Eastern Wasteland Cultivators with the least danger, which leads directly to the East Barbarians. Chen Mobai had initially chosen to depart from here.


    The same way he came, the same way he returned.


    Chen Mobai paid great attention to these details.


    After arriving in Sky Country, he naturally went to find King Zhou first.


    Last time in Rock Country, King Zhou had volunteered to be the Town Guard for Sky Country. Over the years, although he had not achieved much under the oppression of the Nanxuan Sect, he had at least stabilized the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s influence there, replacing the obliterated Shake Mountain Peak and becoming the nominal ruler of the area.


    Unfortunately, once the Nanxuan Sect had gained a foothold in Rock Country with the Foundation Building Pill, they also turned their attention to Sky Country. When Chen Mobai took a detour to the East Barbarians, the Nanxuan Sect had already started colluding with local Cultivator Families and began eroding the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s prestige here under the guise of opening the Fang Market.


    King Zhou had performed well in the previous ten years, so after his term as Town Guard was up, he wasn¡¯t called back by the sect and continued his role there.


    Apart from him, Yue Zutao of Rock Country and Yuan Chiye of Lei Nation did the same.


    Facing the powerful and well-backed Nanxuan Sect, the three of them could only struggle to maintain the situation, but at least they had not lost their footing, keeping the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s rule in name.


    Chen Mobai arrived at the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s station in Sky Country, only to find that King Zhou wasn¡¯t there.


    And there was not a single person left in charge; upon entering, he saw that the Divine Wood Sect people seemed to have left in a hurry, with a table of food only half-eaten.


    ¡°Strange, what¡¯s going on here?¡± Chen Mobai murmured to himself, then his eyes suddenly sharpened.


    Something that would make King Zhou act this way must be a major threat to the survival of the sect! Had the Nanxuan Sect started a war with the Divine Wood Sect?


    With this thought, Chen Mobai immediately rushed towards the station¡¯s teleportation array, only to find that it had been sealed on the other side and was unusable.


    Without wasting any time, Chen Mobai discerned the direction and headed towards the nearest Fang Market in Sky Country.


    He needed to use the teleportation array to return to Giant Tree Ridge as quickly as possible and also to find out what had happened here in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Xuan Light Market!


    It was one of the four major markets of Sky Country, run by the Cultivator Family, the Tie family.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the Divine Wood Sect took over, the Tie family was the first to defect in Sky Country; they even sent people to help attack Shake Mountain Peak in Rock Country.


    Because of this feat, after the Divine Wood Sect eradicated Shake Mountain Peak, the Xuan Light Market was given to the Tie family. Later, when King Zhou came as the Town Guard, he also relied on the Tie family¡¯s market to gradually stabilize his footing before the Nanxuan Sect could extend its hand.


    Initially, it seemed like the Divine Wood Sect and the Tie family would be allies.


    But today, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shops in the Xuan Light Market were being looted by a group of suddenly invading Loose Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Divine Wood Sect having a True Disciple, Zhou Bingyan, stationed here to command and promptly gathering the twenty or so Sect Disciples in the market, it¡¯s feared that apart from the elixirs and artifacts being looted, all the Sect Disciples might have already perished.

 Chapter 914 - Chapter 914 Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_3

    Chapter 914: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_3 Chapter 914: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_3 They gathered in the Spirit Stone Shop protected by a Rank-2 Formation, fending off the malevolent Rogue Cultivators outside as well as the Market cultivators opportunists.


    ¡°Sister Zhou, we can¡¯t hold out here any longer, we should just run for our lives!¡±


    A young disciple, having slain two Loose Practitioners who breached the Formation¡¯s gap with his Flying Sword, swiftly swallowed an Elixir to restore his Spiritual Power and addressed a cool-tempered girl in a white dress.


    ¡°The Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators outside are just waiting for us to abandon the Formation. Once we flee, not only will the Spirit Stone Shop be plundered, but we will also stand no chance of survival under the relentless pursuit of the loose cultivators.¡±


    ¡°Damn it, where is the old ancestor of the Tie family! He claimed to be brothers with Uncle Zhou on normal days, but now suddenly he¡¯s turned into a turtle hiding its head!¡±


    ¡°Without the acquiescence of the Tie family, how could these Rogue Cultivators have infiltrated the Xuan Light Market without anyone noticing.¡±


    Zhou Bingyan, wielding the Divine Wood Sword, stood at the center of the Large Formation, her tone as cold as ice.


    Upon hearing her words, the remaining Divine Wood Sect disciples felt even more desperate.


    ¡°If we¡¯re going to die either way, why not let go of the Formation and fight!¡±


    ¡°If we abandon the Formation, we will die instantly. If we hold on a little longer, there might be reinforcements from the Sect once they receive the news!¡±


    As Zhou Bingyan spoke, her eyes were also filled with worry as she watched the leader of the Rogue Cultivators hovering in mid-air.


    This was a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, with a sinister face and a tall and lean figure. He was wielding a Purple Green Flying Sword, creating slices of sharp Sword Qi, which were rapidly slashing towards the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop¡¯s Formation.


    Amidst the surging sounds of Spiritual Energy, the Rank-2 Formation began to quake as if on the verge of collapse.


    Cracks even appeared in some places, and Loose Practitioners took the opportunity to rush in, clashing head-on in a life-and-death struggle against Divine Wood Sect Monks with various Magic Artifacts and Talismans.


    Zhou Bingyan waved her hand gracefully, and the Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword erupted with a magnificent Sword Qi in an instant, killing three Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Rogue Cultivators, boosting the morale of the Divine Wood Sect disciples present.


    Hmph!


    But at that moment, the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator in mid-air noticed this scene and, after a cold snort, the Purple Green Flying Sword he wielded cut straight down towards Zhou Bingyan¡¯s head.


    The Rank-2 Formation¡¯s Spiritual Light flickered violently, but after prolonged attacks, the Formation was already at its last breath.


    The Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator made his move, clearly seeing this weakness.


    Boom!


    As the Flying Sword descended, the Formation shattered with a roar, and Zhou Bingyan¡¯s usually calm face suddenly turned pale. That previous Sword strike had been her secret trump card, nearly draining most of the Spiritual Power from her Dantian Qi Sea.


    Moreover, facing a Foundation Establishment attack, even at her prime, she was no match.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, there has never been a tale of overcoming a major difference in Realm in battle.


    ¡°Am I still going to die?¡±


    Facing the Flying Sword descending upon her head, Zhou Bingyan¡¯s lips revealed a hint of misery.


    Zzzzz!


    Just then, she suddenly heard a clear sound of thunder.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Like the thunder in spring, initially heard from afar, but in a blink, it was already ringing in her ears!


    Crack!


    The unstoppable Purple Green Flying Sword in Zhou Bingyan¡¯s eyes was shattered by a burst of blue lightning, and then the residual power of the lightning bolt continued unabated, piercing the skies. As the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator watched in horror, it penetrated his forehead!


    Thump!


    A headless corpse had already fallen from the sky!

 Chapter 915 - Chapter 915 Chapter 505 The War of Rock Country

    Chapter 915: Chapter 505: The War of Rock Country Chapter 915: Chapter 505: The War of Rock Country The Rank-2 formation of the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop shattered under the Magic Artifact of the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator. Many Rogue Cultivators, who had been poised for action, had already stormed in.


    The disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, with faces filled with despair, picked up their Magic Artifacts, ready to fight to the death, to make their cultivation in this life worthwhile.


    Zhou Bingyan had already closed her eyes, waiting for death, but was awoken by a blast of thunder and saw the most beautiful scene of her life.


    Among the bloodlight, the Foundation Establishment corpse, whose head had been exploded by azure lightning, fell in front of the door of the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop, shocking those Rogue Cultivators, who had greedy expressions and were fantasizing about how to grab Spirit Stones, into looks of terror.


    ¡°Who gave you the guts to dare to besiege my Divine Wood Sect disciples!¡±


    At that moment, a youth, who seemed like a True Immortal, riding on a five-colored cloud, landed on the highest rooftop of the Spirit Stone Shop. Accompanied by a cold statement, a blaze of orange-red brilliance burst forth from the Gourd at his waist.


    ¡°Not good¡­¡±


    The Rogue Cultivators and some Loose Cultivators who were muddying the waters had wanted to flee the moment they saw the surge of azure lightning, but Chen Mobai¡¯s speed was simply too fast.


    The glorious light erupted, crisscrossing inside and outside the Spirit Stone Shop in an instant.


    The Primordial Yang Sword Evil, formless and intangible, left a trail of blood in its wake. One by one, the Rogue Cultivators found their perspectives reversed as they ran, not realizing they had become decapitated.


    Their bodies continued to run as their heads flew off.


    In just a single breath, all the Rogue and Foundation Establishment Practitioners besieging the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop fell as corpses under the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    When Chen Mobai flew over, he initially thought that the Xuan Light Market was being invaded and besieged by Rogue Cultivators. When he discovered that the target was actually the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop, he couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    His arrival was just in time. If he had arrived a moment later, the formation would have been breached, and not a single disciple inside would have survived the onslaught of the surging Rogue and Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    After effortlessly slaying the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator with a strike of lightning, he showed no mercy towards his accomplices.


    ¡°Disciple Zhou Bingyan of the Sword Training Department, pays respects to Elder Chen!¡±


    As Chen Mobai swept the surroundings with the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect had already come forward. Led by a beautifully pale female cultivator, they paid their respects to him.


    Before Chen Mobai achieved Core Formation, he had lectured Qi Practitioners in Divine Wood City on Foundation Establishment, and Zhou Bingyan was among them, recognizing him at first glance.


    ¡°All rise, do you possess the Divine Wood Sword, are you the new direct disciple of the Sword Training Department?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai left, Xi Jinghuo of the Sword Training Department had successfully reached Foundation Establishment. He hadn¡¯t paid attention to who succeeded her afterwards. Seeing Zhou Bingyan with a Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword, he assumed she was the one.


    ¡°This Divine Wood Sword was bestowed by my family; the current direct disciple of the Sword Training Department is Brother Feng Hongxue.¡±


    Zhou Bingyan answered truthfully. She was a member of the Zhou family and was considered the most talented of her young generation. Even though she was not the first in the Sword Training Department, she was among the direct disciples.


    She was assigned to accrue sufficient contributions for the Sect and was stationed in Sky Country, guarded by her clan¡¯s uncle ¨C King Zhou.


    ¡°Feng Hongxue? That guy again?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered him; he had been the top disciple of the Sword Training Department when he himself became the top direct disciple. At that time, Zeng Woyou had created two Foundation Building Pills from a Monster Beast Inner Pill. They each took one, but while his own Foundation Establishment was successful, Feng Hongxue failed.


    After that, it was Xi Jinghuo¡¯s talent that came to fruition, holding the position of top disciple in the Sword Training Department for a long time.


    Unexpectedly, even after Xi Jinghuo¡¯s Foundation Establishment, Feng Hongxue could still make a comeback.


    ¡°Brother Feng has recently mastered a powerful Sword technique and is now the top direct disciple.¡±


    Zhou Bingyan spoke, but Chen Mobai had lost interest in these trivial Qi Cultivation matters.


    He, now a Nascent Soul Ancestor, thought if Feng Hongxue could reach Foundation Establishment, perhaps he might be interested in reminiscing about how he once suppressed him with Two Swords.


    ¡°What has happened to the Sect? Why is there not a single person at the station of King Zhou?¡±


    Chen Mobai inquired about what concerned him most.


    ¡°Reporting to Elder Chen, last year the Sect had a conflict with the Nanxuan Sect in Rock Country. Ancestor Fu personally confronted the Ancestor of the Nanxuan Sect. Both sides are gathering armies of Cultivators. Being close to the conflict, Sky Country was naturally the first to be called up,¡± Zhou Bingyan explained everything she knew in detail. Chen Mobai listened expressionlessly, yet a sharp glint flickered in his eyes, making the Divine Wood Sect disciples below feel as if they were being targeted by a sharp sword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    [Before Elder Chen left, he was already the undefeated Foundation Establishment cultivator, known as the second Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness. Now that he has returned from his travels, what Realm has he reached? He might have even reached the Fake Pill¡­]


    Zhou Bingyan, also a Sword Cultivator, was very familiar with Chen Mobai, the standard of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Sword Cultivators. Feeling the breath unconsciously radiated by Chen Mobai, she couldn¡¯t help but speculate about his Cultivation Level.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai had retracted the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the orange-red brilliance untainted by blood, still as radiant and beautiful as ever, returning to the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist.


    ¡°Tie Qingshan, come out and see me!¡±


    After communicating with the disciple Zhou Bingyan, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze remained sharp and unyielding as he coldly called out to the whole Xuan Light Market.


    Tie Qingshan was the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Tie family; back in the days of Rock Country, he had fought under Chen Mobai¡¯s command as well.

 Chapter 916 - Chapter 916 Chapter 505 War in Rock Country_2

    Chapter 916: Chapter 505: War in Rock Country_2 Chapter 916: Chapter 505: War in Rock Country_2 Rogue Cultivators¡¯ brazen killings within Fang Market cannot be separated from the culpability of Tie Qingshan, who is in charge of the market.


    After Chen Mobai killed the Rogue Cultivators, he naturally sought to hold someone accountable.


    No sooner had he spoken than an old man in a cyan-black robe walked out respectfully from the tallest building in the center of Xuan Light Market, accompanied by a group of people.


    ¡°Elder Chen, our ancestor is not in the market at the moment; I am the third elder of the Tie family, Iron Qishan¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m giving Tie Qingshan the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he doesn¡¯t come see me within that time, there will be no need for the Tie family to exist anymore.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced down at Iron Qishan without bothering to listen to his explanation. He said coldly and then gestured for Zhou Bingyan below to light an incense stick.


    ¡°Please forgive us, Elder Chen. Our family¡¯s territory and the teleportation array here have been sabotaged by a traitor, and upon hearing the news, Ancestor Qingshan has already set out personally towards here¡­¡±


    ¡°That counts as an excuse, I suppose. But the incense is burning, and what I have said cannot be taken back. If he¡¯s not here when the time is up, then the Tie family should step aside from managing Xuan Light Market.¡±


    Chen Mobai in the Eastern Wasteland was indeed an unrivalled, authoritative figure, and such was necessary to keep the people here in check.


    Having finished speaking, he descended from the rooftop.


    Zhou Bingyan had long since ordered a chair and table to be brought out, and the incense was lit on the table.


    ¡°The rest of the Sect Disciples, go outside and sort out the belongings of the Rogue Cultivators. Come over here and tell me about the situation in Rock Country, the war between our sect and Nanxuan sect.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished his sentence, the Divine Wood Sect disciples who were lined up immediately looked delighted. The called-upon Zhou Bingyan also excitedly walked over and began to recount in greater detail.


    A year ago, Nanxuan sect used the disappearance of a Sect Disciple in Northern Abyss Market as a pretext to demand Yue Zutao to open the Formation, allowing them to enter and search.


    Of course, they were not permitted. Friction started between the two sides, and eventually, a Nascent Soul Ancestor from Nanxuan sect came over to exert pressure. It was only after Fu Zongjue stepped in and confronted Nanxuan Jing that both sides backed down.


    However, the matter did not end there. The disciples from both sects began to eye each other with hostility in Rock Country, with cases of mysterious disappearances and killings occurring frequently.


    There was even an incident where a Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator encountered an ambush¨Cdespite managing to escape using two secret techniques, they suffered severe damage to their vital energy and could advance no further for the rest of their lives.


    Although the perpetrator wasn¡¯t captured on the spot, the Techniques used were from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. This stirred up public sentiment, and several Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Divine Wood Sect in Rock Country were on the verge of declaring war on the Nanxuan sect.


    Fortunately, Yue Zutao had clear judgment and realized that this was a deliberate ploy by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. They might have intentionally spared the Divine Wood Cultivator¡¯s life to force the Divine Wood Sect to strike first against Nanxuan sect.


    After reporting to Elder Fu, he suppressed the internal clamor and pinned the blame for the incident on demon Path Rogue Cultivators.


    Yet, with their patience at the Divine Wood Sect, the Nanxuan sect grew increasingly brazen and began to provoke them more frequently.


    At the end of last year, as is customary, South Profound Sect¡¯s Treasure-Colored Market held its auction. A former True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect gathered all his life savings to win a Foundation Building Pill.


    To his dismay though, after paying the Spirit Stones, he was not given the pill.


    The reason given by Treasure-Colored Market was that the identity of the Divine Wood Sect Disciple was problematic; his future actions might endanger the Nanxuan sect, so the pill could not be given to him.


    If they weren¡¯t going to give it, that was one thing, but they refused to refund the Spirit Stones as well.


    The Divine Wood Sect disciple was so infuriated that he cursed out loud at the auction, and the originally smirking manager of the Treasure-Colored Market turned hostile at being insulted and wielded his Flying Sword to kill the Divine Wood Sect Disciple on the spot.


    This incident took place in front of a large crowd and immediately caused a huge uproar.


    Once the news spread, not even Yue Zutao, let alone Chu Zuoshu, the Sect Leader, could suppress the rising tide of public opinion within the sect.


    The petitions demanding war with Nanxuan sect could no longer be held off.


    This was also a matter of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s dignity as a great sect; ignoring the situation could lead to the ridicule of all Eastern Wasteland Cultivators, and Divine Wood Sect would forever be labeled as cowardly in the eyes of Loose Cultivators and the lower levels of Cultivators.


    ¡°At the beginning, Town Guard Yue still intended to prevent this war and personally went to the Treasure-Colored Market to demand the Nanxuan sect turn over the murderer¡­¡±


    Zhou Bingyan began to recount the events at the onset of the war. Being the Town Guard of Rock Country, Yue Zutao was undeniably capable and aware that once the war began, the Divine Wood Sect would yet again suffer severe damage to its core strength after only just recovering.


    Unfortunately, the Nanxuan sect was dead set on waging war against the Divine Wood Sect, and Yue¡¯s intervention only resulted in humiliation.


    He even almost couldn¡¯t make it out of the Treasure Color Market.


    After Yue Zutao¡¯s difficult escape, the war became inevitable, and the Divine Wood Sect began to call in cultivators from their six subordinate countries, pouring endlessly into Northern Abyss City in the Rock Country.


    Then came the departure of Fu Zongjue from Giant Tree Ridge as he left his true body behind to personally oversee the Rock Country.


    Over the course of a year, both sects had directly clashed several times. Although the Divine Wood Sect had more people, the Nanxuan Sect was after all born from the formidable Eastern Yi Clan, with their war arrays being even more exquisite, managing to hold their own against the Divine Wood Sect despite the numerical disadvantage.


    ¡°Qingshan pays his respects to Elder Chen!¡±


    While Chen Mobai and Zhou Bingyan were talking, a muscular man, gasping slightly and surrounded by a group of people, came over.


    This man was none other than Tie Qingshan, a practitioner of body cultivation.


    Chen Mobai looked up at the incense stick on the table, which had just burned out before this moment.


    He said indifferently, ¡°Time¡¯s up.¡±


    ¡°Please forgive me, Elder Chen. A traitor emerged from our family, and a guest elder who had been hiding for over a decade destroyed our teleportation array. Otherwise, I would have arrived the moment I could, not allowing such a thing to happen.¡±


    Tie Qingshan approached a bit nervously. Although he held some renown in Sky Country, compared to the eminent top Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect before him, he was nothing.


    ¡°I said, time¡¯s up!¡±


    Chen Mobai repeated the statement. Tie Qingshan, the large man, stood still as sweat dripped from his forehead.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I¡¯ve come as quickly as I could, and the time of this incense stick is almost right. These are to atone for my sins¡­¡±


    As Tie Qingshan spoke, he took a storage bag from a family elder and offered it.


    He did not dare to give it directly to Chen Mobai, so he handed it to Zhou Bingyan, who also did not dare to take it without Chen Mobai¡¯s permission.


    ¡°I always keep my word.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke softly, then stood up, his right hand already resting on the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist.


    The disciples of the Tie family, who had witnessed headless corpses all the way, suddenly turned pale and looked towards Tie Qingshan in despair.


    ¡°Elder Chen, in the war that demolished Shake Mountain Peak, I also led the Tie family disciples to shed blood under your command. Won¡¯t you show even a bit of leniency?¡±


    Tie Qingshan, too, reached the Foundation Building Realm through life and death combat. Truly cornered, he no longer acted timidly. His words carried a hint of toughness, his stature upright and his eyes filled with a trace of anger.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai instead smiled.


    However, he soon realized he hadn¡¯t revealed his Core Formation cultivation level. In Tie Qingshan¡¯s eyes, he was still the invincible Foundation Establishment Chen Guixian.


    Both being of the Foundation Building Realm, and as Sky Country¡¯s number one cultivator in the late phase of Foundation Establishment specialising in body cultivation, it seemed Tie Qingshan also had some confidence in himself, thinking about confronting Chen Mobai.


    At that moment, Tie Qingshan stopped pretending to be out of breath. His spiritual power erupted, and a dark cyan armor appeared on him. After draping it on, it faintly gave off the aura of Ji Dingjin.


    Witnessing this, the Divine Wood Sect disciples, who were collecting the storage bags from rogue cultivators, also became tense.

    After all, this was the Tie family¡¯s main camp.


    But Zhou Bingyan remained calm, as she was well aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s capabilities.


    In the Foundation Building Realm, he was invincible.


    ¡°Interesting, after leaving for a few years, there are Foundation Establishment practitioners who dare to defy me!¡±


    With a hearty laugh, Chen Mobai stood up, and then an incredible surge of power emerged, instantly crushing Tie Qingshan¡¯s sturdy frame.

 Chapter 917 - Chapter 917 506

    Chapter 917: 506 Chapter 917: 506 ¡°You, have you achieved ¡®Core Formation¡¯!?¡±


    Although Tie Qingshan knew he was no match for Chen Mobai, after all, Ji Dingjin had died by the sword of the man before him, he didn¡¯t expect that he wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to make a move, as the cultivation technique he had bitterly practiced was broken under the pressure of his opponent¡¯s aura.


    This realm was completely beyond the level of Foundation Establishment; in his understanding, only those who had achieved Core Formation possessed such strength.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at Chen Mobai with shocked gazes, but the latter merely smiled slightly and didn¡¯t directly answer.


    ¡°I¡¯m not unreasonable. I¡¯ll give you an opportunity. Take your Tie family¡¯s cultivators to Rock Country, Northern Abyss City. Once Nanxuan Sect is destroyed, we will consider this matter completely settled.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t like to kill indiscriminately and since Tie Qingshan had indeed fought under his command, he offered him a way out.


    ¡°I will arrange my affairs here and immediately take my family to Rock Country.¡±


    At this point, Tie Qingshan had no thoughts of resisting. He bowed his head respectfully to the seemingly ¡®Core Formation¡¯ Chen Mobai and spoke.


    ¡°The teleportation array in the Fang Market can be used, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, Tie Qingshan nodded; however, his family¡¯s connection with the array here was problematic, but teleportation to other places was still functioning normally.


    ¡°Come with me, let¡¯s go to Rock Country first.¡±


    Chen Mobai began to arrange, considering the Tie family¡¯s suspect collusion with the Nanxuan Sect, he took away the crucial Tie Qingshan immediately, eliminating any possibility for the Tie family to defect or flee.


    After hearing this, Tie Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but recalling how easily he was defeated earlier, he clenched his teeth, nodded, and called Iron Qishan over to briefly instruct him on a few matters.


    ¡°Pack up the things from our sect here and take the sect disciples with us.¡±


    Chen Mobai then called out to Zhou Bingyan, who also didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately began to gather the Divine Wood Sect disciples to pack up spirit stones and other items into their storage bags.


    The teleportation array was activated quickly, and after several transfers, Chen Mobai, Tie Qingshan, Zhou Bingyan, and their group finally arrived in the territory of Rock Country.


    Unfortunately, the teleportation array in Northern Abyss City had been sealed off and couldn¡¯t be entered directly.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t send Zhou Bingyan there but took out the long-unused Heavenly Communication Device and dialed Yue Zutao¡¯s number.


    Not long after, two streams of Spiritual Light landed on the mountaintop where Chen Mobai and his group were.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    Unexpectedly, it was not only Yue Zutao who arrived but also Fu Zongjue, although not in his real body, but in a Puppet Body.


    ¡°You¡­ have you achieved ¡®Core Formation¡¯!?¡±


    Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai and after sensing his aura, asked with some astonishment.


    He could sense that Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense and physical body had surpassed the level of Foundation Establishment, but his Spiritual Power seemed a bit scant, not meeting the minimum requirements of a Golden Core Cultivator.


    ¡°Not disappointing you, I pay respects to Elder Brother Fu!¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly and addressed Fu Zongjue with a title the two had previously agreed upon. Then, activating his Returning Essence Secret Technique, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power stored in his All Laws Persona returned, and his aura began to surge violently, instantly surpassing the limits of Foundation Establishment.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    At this moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and distant thunder began to sound.


    After demonstrating his realm, Chen Mobai returned his Spiritual Power back to the All Laws Persona.


    The thunder in the sky dissipated, but thin drizzles of rain began to fall.


    In the midst of the rain, Fu Zongjue¡¯s laughter was particularly loud.


    ¡°Well done, Junior Brother Chen¡­ Hahaha¡­¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body walked over, couldn¡¯t help but pat Chen Mobai on the shoulder. Meanwhile, Yue Zutao and Zhou Bingyan were also visibly excited.


    This was the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s third Nascent Soul Ancestor!


    To know that the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s number one faction, the Five Elements Sect, only had three Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    If they included the ally from Golden Cliff, their Divine Wood Sect could already be considered the unequivocal number one power in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Tie Qingshan was also present; once he confirmed Chen Mobai had genuinely achieved Core Formation, his heart felt even more apprehensive.


    Originally, he wasn¡¯t very optimistic about Divine Wood Sect¡¯s war with the Nanxuan Sect and had secretly sent elders of his family to make contact with Nanxuan Sect¡¯s people in Sky Country.


    The incident where Rogue Cultivators infiltrated the Fang Market to assassinate Divine Wood Sect members had been known to him in advance, but he had acted as though unaware.


    Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that the Tie family hadn¡¯t taken any action, or else the entire clan would have been annihilated by now.


    He wasn¡¯t sure whether Iron Qishan would understand his insinuations to cleanly deal with the traces of the Tie family¡¯s collusion with the Nanxuan Sect.

    While Tie Qingshan was filled with anxiety, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue had already flown up to the sky to talk.


    Fu Zongjue: ¡°This war is mainly the Nanxuan Sect attempting to probe Brother Zhou¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ situation. Zhao Xuankang¡¯s and Nanxuan Jing¡¯s goal is to force Brother Zhou to make his move.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°How is Brother Zhou doing with refining the Mother Earth Stone?¡±


    Fu Zongjue: ¡°He¡¯s at a critical juncture. If you were to go back to Giant Tree Ridge, you would notice that the Spirit Vein Aura is flocking towards the Everlife Wood where Brother Zhou is, and there¡¯s already an air of ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. Precisely because of this, the two from Nanxuan Sect are getting restless.¡±


    Previously, after the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, Zhou Shengqing obtained that Mother Earth Stone and spent three years cleansing the poisonous gas from the Bead that Breaks Meridians. Having obtained the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture from Chen Mobai, he gained a clear understanding of the path ahead, and without any further hesitation, he resolutely began to attempt ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯.

 Chapter 918 - Chapter 918 Chapter 506 Seeing Fu Zongjue Again_2

    Chapter 918: Chapter 506: Seeing Fu Zongjue Again_2 Chapter 918: Chapter 506: Seeing Fu Zongjue Again_2 ¡°`


    After going to retrieve the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chen Mobai went out for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±; it was all arranged by Fu Zongjue.


    Now, fourteen years have passed, Zhou Shengqing was already at Golden Core Perfection, and with the aid of the premium spiritual energy from the Mother Earth Stone, he finally induced the signs of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Even though people like Zhao Xuankang knew that Zhou Shengqing¡¯s chances of successful ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± were slim, none were willing to take the gamble.


    Therefore, they began to instigate a war between the Divine Wood Sect and the Nanxuan Sect, as long as they could force Zhou Shengqing to take action, his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± would fail, and their purpose would be achieved.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Has Zhao Xuankang not taken action? It seems there is only Nanxuan Jing¡¯s aura over there.¡±


    In midair, Chen Mobai unleashed his Void Spirit Eye, and saw that within the stern ranks of Nanxuan Sect, there was only the presence of one Golden Core Cultivator manifesting.


    Fu Zongjue: ¡°He might have concealed himself, but Brother Mo can teleport here at any time. Even if he makes a move, we will be able to resist, and what¡¯s more, you have now formed your Gold Core.¡±


    Whenever Divine Wood Sect needed him, Mo Douguang was always ready to respond, as he and Zhou Shengqing were the closest of brothers.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Are there no movements from the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness regarding the Core Formation?¡±


    Fu Zongjue: ¡°They are all onlookers; after all, behind the Nanxuan Sect is Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. Their unwillingness to intervene already shows they understand the concept of a shared fate.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Only a few of us know about my Core Formation. Is it possible to use our numerical advantage to kill Nanxuan Jing?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue fell silent.


    In the Tianhe Realm, Cultivators who reached the stage of Core Formation have abundant experience in magic duels, life-preserving secret techniques, and are usually well equipped with magic artifacts and talismans; killing one at the same realm is extremely difficult.


    However, three against one would not be a problem.


    After all, even Ji Zhenshi, a Body Cultivator at the Core Formation Late Stage, perished under their joint attack without a complete corpse.


    The key was creating an environment conducive to such an encounter.


    If Nanxuan Jing hid within the Battle Array, even if they called over Zhou Shengqing, they could only watch helplessly.


    ¡°We need to expose a flaw, giving the Nanxuan Sect the illusion that he and Zhao Xuankang together could kill me,¡± said one.


    After a while, Fu Zongjue spoke.


    He then discussed with Chen Mobai. After a lengthy conversation, they finally settled on an initial strategy.


    Because Northern Abyss City gathered Cultivators from six countries under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s command, with many eyes observing, it was certain that the Nanxuan Sect had planted informants among them. Hence, Chen Mobai did not return with Yue Zutao.


    Fu Zongjue left his Puppet Body there and continued to refine the plan to hunt Nanxuan Jing with Chen Mobai.


    ¡­


    In the camp of the Nanxuan Sect, besides Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang, there was another Golden Core Cultivator.


    ¡°A Puppet Master never exposes their real body to public view.¡±


    It was none other than the old ancestor from Liu Jia Mountain, Nan Shi Dao, who had the most animosity with the Divine Wood Sect apart from Shake Mountain Peak.


    Nan Shi Dao was speaking confidently in front of the two Core Formation Cultivators from Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace.


    Before Fu Zongjue¡¯s Core Formation, he was known as the number one Puppet Master in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Of course, the enmity with the Divine Wood Sect was not due to this mere title, for at their level of cultivation, they had long grown indifferent to such distinctions.


    Previously, aside from Nan Shi Dao, Liu Jia Mountain had another Golden Core Cultivator renowned as the most likely to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± after the Ancestor Hunyuan¨CYan Fusheng.


    Regrettably, during the prime of the Five Elements Sect, Yan Fusheng¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was interrupted when a mysterious Cultivator attacked Liu Jia Mountain.


    Nan Shi Dao was no match, and the sect¡¯s protective formation could not stop the enemy, who easily breached Yan Fusheng¡¯s seclusion.


    Yan Fusheng was forced to act and repelled the intruder.


    But his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was completely ruined, and even his elemental energy was severely damaged. Within a few years, he passed away meditating.


    This incident was deemed a great humiliation by Liu Jia Mountain.


    Back then, in the Eastern Wasteland, the only one capable of defeating Nan Shi Dao with ease and penetrating Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Large Formation as if entering an unguarded jungle was Ancestor Hunyuan from the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°`


    Therefore, after Yan Fusheng passed away in meditation, Nanxuan Dao of the Nanxuan sect laid the blame squarely on the Five Elements Sect.


    Due to the vastness of the Eastern Wilderness, with the Five Elements Sect and Liu Jia Mountain dividing the south and north, Nanxuan Dao turned his hostile gaze toward the nearby Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff.


    ¡°You mean to say, the real body that Fu Zongjue revealed in Northern Abyss City isn¡¯t his real body at all, but merely a puppet, while his actual body is hidden somewhere else?¡±


    After hearing what Nanxuan Dao said, Zhao Xuankang understood what he meant.


    ¡°Exactly, and to control the situation and maximize the puppet¡¯s power, Fu Zongjue¡¯s true body must be near the battlefield.¡±


    Nanxuan Dao nodded, himself having come here in a puppet body.


    ¡°But this is only a possibility. Right now, with five thousand Qi practitioners in Northern Abyss City and under the united Battle Array, even the three of us wouldn¡¯t dare to rush in rashly. It¡¯s safest for Fu Zongjue¡¯s real body to be there.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang shook his head, expressing his own views. If he were Fu Zongjue, he would surely have his real body amidst the large army.


    ¡°I¡¯m just mentioning some things about us Puppet Masters. What if, on a whim, Fu Zongjue hides his real body outside Northern Abyss City?¡±


    Nanxuan Dao¡¯s statement made Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing very tempted.


    If there were no Battle Array for protection, the three of them could easily slay Fu Zongjue.


    Once Fu Zongjue died, they could annihilate the five thousand Qi practitioners inside Northern Abyss City and then lead the large army to press on toward Giant Tree Ridge. Perhaps they could even take down the Divine Wood Sect in a single stroke, besides disrupting Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°We could try to confirm it, what if Fu Zongjue got kicked in the head by a donkey?¡±


    Nanxuan Jing said to Zhao Xuankang, who, after pondering for a moment, couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and nodded.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue were still pondering how to feign a weakness on the frontline battlefield. After an apparent defeat, Fu Zongjue would abandon the army of Qi practitioners and flee alone, provoking Nanxuan Jing to pursue and kill him.


    Unexpectedly, the next day, the Nanxuan sect really rallied their entire army.


    They formed the Gold Light Combat Array, transformed into giant golden armored celestial soldiers, and attacked Northern Abyss City.


    A battle was inevitable, and Fu Zongjue immediately directed his subordinates to form the Alpha Wood Soldiers.


    Metal overcomes wood in the Five Elements, and although the Divine Wood Sect had the advantage in numbers, they were now suppressed by the Nanxuan sect.


    In the past, Fu Zongjue would still make an effort, but this time he directly shrank back.


    He maneuvered his vast army to defend, exhausting the opponents¡¯ spiritual power, and then his own Alpha Wood Soldiers also dispersed.


    What followed was the close-quarters combat between armies of cultivators.


    Cultivators who had a portion of their spiritual power drawn by the Battle Array deftly consumed elixirs that restored their spiritual power, held a spirit stone in one hand, and brandished a magic artifact in the other as they began to fight fiercely with the other side.


    The battle was brief, and soon countless sprays of blood appeared. Cultivators died one after another under various magic artifacts and spells.


    Streaks of spiritual light illuminated the sky, indicating the showdowns between Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    That should have been the end of it.


    But today, two massive and dazzling golden glows rose like the great sun from the Nanxuan sect¡¯s camp. Two tall and vague figures, bearing grand and mighty spiritual power, charged toward Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Zhao Xuankang, Nanxuan Jing!¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s voice emerged as his true body and a puppet body appeared in the sky.


    At the same time, the light of the Teleportation Array within Northern Abyss City lit up, and Mo Douguang stepped out from it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Soon, four Golden Core Cultivators began a fierce confrontation in mid-air.


    Among them, Fu Zongjue had the lowest cultivation level, being only in the early stage of Core Formation. However, he controlled a Rank-3 Golden Sun Puppet and, fearless of life and death, still held off Zhao Xuankang.


    Nanxuan Jing and Mo Douguang had similar cultivation levels, one a great sect elder and the other the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland. Their battle was visually stunning; with the intertwining of Jinguang and sword light, it was incredibly spectacular.


    While the Qi Practitioners below were dazzled, two Foundation Establishment Practitioners engaged in a magical duel in mid-air accidentally strayed into the swath of Jinguang and sword light, and in an instant, they were ground into a sky full of blood clots.


    Is this the power of the Core Formation stage?!

 Chapter 919 - Chapter 919 Chapter 507 The Divine Sword Commands Thunder

    Chapter 919: Chapter 507: The Divine Sword Commands Thunder Chapter 919: Chapter 507: The Divine Sword Commands Thunder The battle between the Divine Wood Sect and the Nanxuan Sect was the most intense confrontation between the two sects to date.


    Four Golden Core Cultivators, dozens of Foundation Establishment, and nearly ten thousand Qi Cultivators fought fiercely for three days and three nights in the wilderness outside Northern Abyss City.


    What was originally intended as a probing battle between the two sides ultimately resulted in considerable losses for both.


    After the battle, both sides returned to a calm state, resuming their long standoff, with occasional skirmishes where cultivators hunted each other for resources needed in their future cultivation.


    The four Golden Core Cultivators also fought fiercely against each other three more times after that.


    Among them, Fu Zongjue, who had the lowest cultivation level, suffered the most serious losses; one of his third-rank Golden Sun Puppets was shattered by Zhao Xuankang¡¯s Dragon Hitting Whip. If it hadn¡¯t been for Mo Douguang¡¯s timely rescue, he would have been forced to expose his half-finished Purple Sun Puppet.


    And in the continuous probing, both sides felt the other¡¯s murderous intent growing stronger and stronger.


    It seemed that the decisive battle was not far off!


    ¡­


    Liuliushan Mountain.


    Before Northern Abyss City had been established, this was where the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army was stationed in Rock Country, and it was thriving.


    After the Nanxuan Sect established Treasure Color Market, all that remained here were some Divine Wood Sect disciples tending to the Spirit Fields and hired Loose Cultivator Spirit Plant Masters.


    Not long ago, Yue Zutao used the war as an excuse to relocate everyone here to Northern Abyss City.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai came here with his people.


    That day, he brought a third-rank Golden Sun Spiritual Tree seed given by Fu Zongjue and began to direct Tie Qingshan, Zhou Bingyan, and others to set up the site.


    ¡°Although it is only a Rank-3 defensive formation, with this Mountain Suppression Stone, it also has the power of a Third Rank Peak. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem with it helping you through the tribulation,¡± said Fu Zongjue to Chen Mobai from midair.


    The last time Chen Mobai displayed his Golden Core Realm, he also honestly admitted that he had not yet passed the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Fu Zongjue was shocked to hear this.


    In his experience, how could anyone successfully reach Core Formation without undergoing a tribulation?


    Could this be another secret technique from the Ancient Changsheng Sect!


    But this time, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t shift the blame to the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but instead directly mentioned the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    ¡°I see, worthy of a sect that once had a Golden Core cultivator,¡± Fu Zongjue mused.


    As a former True Disciple of the Five Elements Sect, Fu Zongjue had heard of the Guiyuan Sect, but he had no idea that this sect possessed such an incredible secret technique.


    With this realization, he looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s missing disciple, Luo Yixuan, with a nod of approval.


    Turning out that she went missing in pursuit of this secret technique.


    And upon learning that Chen Mobai had yet to face the Building Dan Heaven Tribulation, Fu Zongjue began to make arrangements for this event.


    Which led to today¡¯s Third Rank Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    After the formation was set up, Chen Mobai sat down inside with his eyes closed in meditation, intending to eliminate this hidden danger before the showdown with the Nanxuan Sect.


    Only then could he face the Golden Core Cultivators of the Nanxuan Sect in peak condition.


    As the Returning Essence Secret Technique operated, the vast Pure Yang Spiritual Power stored within the All Laws Persona began to slowly return to his Dantian Qi Sea, and a terrifyingly powerful aura surpassed that of the Foundation Establishment began to emerge.


    Boom!


    Above the sky, strands of lightning began to flicker. Tie Qingshan and others who stood at the foot of Liuliushan Mountain felt an indescribable sense of oppression at that moment.


    The cultivators from Divine Wood Sect with weaker cultivation levels felt their knees weaken and nearly prostrated themselves before the majestic heavenly might.


    Even true disciples like Zhou Bingyan turned pale, their hearts beating violently as they involuntarily stepped back, wishing to escape the scope of the Heavenly Tribulation.


    ¡°Stand behind me,¡± said Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body softly, as a current of purple-gold energy flowed out, forming a shield in front of the group.


    Zhou Bingyan and others immediately sought refuge behind it.


    Tie Qingshan hesitated slightly, thinking as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in Sky Country, he might have a chance to glimpse the mysteries of Core Formation through this event. After experiencing it for a while, he quickly abandoned his pride and joined the others behind Fu Zongjue.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Even if I cultivate to Foundation Establishment Completion, I would have no chance of getting through such a Heavenly Tribulation,¡± realized Tie Qingshan, his heart sinking with despair. Not yet two hundred years old and already at the Foundation Establishment Late Phase, he had believed it was possible to uncover the mystery of Core Formation before passing away in meditation.


    However, today¡¯s experience thoroughly crushed his confidence.


    It wasn¡¯t just him; other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect felt the same way. They lamented the horrifying nature of the Heavenly Tribulation, yet they were thrilled that their Elder Chen could withstand such a heavenly might.


    All of them prayed inwardly for Chen Mobai, hoping for his successful tribulation.


    On the peak of Liuliushan Mountain, however, Chen Mobai¡¯s state of mind was entirely different from the tense atmosphere they imagined.

 Chapter 920 - Chapter 920 Chapter 507 Divine Sword Commands the Thunder_2

    Chapter 920: Chapter 507: Divine Sword Commands the Thunder_2 Chapter 920: Chapter 507: Divine Sword Commands the Thunder_2 He was always cautious in his actions, and although Fu Zongjue had personally set up the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation for him and even embedded a precious Mountain Suppression Stone, to ensure absolute success, he still took out the Purple Electric Sword.


    With the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact in hand, that sense of security couldn¡¯t be described in words.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking about offering several top-grade Spirit Stones to the Purple Electric Sword for it to align with his intentions and to slash through the Heavenly Tribulation, the sword conveyed an emotion of excitement first.


    [Master, master, where are you right now? Why is there such a rich presence of Thunder Essence?]


    [Didn¡¯t I tell you last time? The Immortal Gate is initiating a war, and I am one of the vanguard in this different world. Who knew that right after arriving here, I would encounter this¡­]


    Chen Mobai continued with his previous excuse; the Purple Electric Sword, with an intelligence similar to that of a child of several years old, had no suspicion of his words, and directly expressed its own desire.


    [Master, can I eat some? Absorbing Spirit Stones requires transformation, but this is the most suitable Thunder Essence for my nourishment¡­]


    The Purple Electric Sword trembled lightly in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, conveying its desire.


    [Go ahead, if you want to eat, you can have it all.]


    For Chen Mobai, on the contrary, this was a favorable development. He loosened his grip on the Purple Electric Sword, and the sword, shining with a purple glow, instantly whooshed into the sky.


    In an instant, the frigid blue-colored Yin thunder that was making Tie Qingshan and others shiver was suddenly sucked in by the Purple Electric Sword as if a whale was drawing in water.


    Wherever the Sword Artifact passed, the clouds dispersed, and the Tribulation Thunder vanished.


    In just the blink of an eye, the Tribulation Thunderclouds that had enveloped the top of the Five Willow Mountain were split open by several slender fissures, all caused by the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s path absorbing the Tribulation Thunder.


    ¡°Is this¡­ the tribulation supreme treasure of your sect?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Tie Qingshan hesitantly asked Fu Zongjue, who was by his side.


    Fu Zongjue was silent for a moment, then nodded, and turned his head to issue what looked like a serious threat, ¡°If you speak of this, I assure you that the nine clans of the Tie family will be annihilated.¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s words made Tie Qingshan immediately take a vow, swearing that if he leaked a single word about this Supreme Treasure, he would be condemned to never find peace after death.


    After making the vow, Tie Qingshan felt a continuous sense of amazement in his heart, Divine Wood Sect indeed deserved to be a East Wilderness Major Sect, to possess such a powerful and unheard-of Magic Artifact.


    He was thinking about whether to give up his family and join the Divine Wood Sect as a Guest Elder so that, when he reached Foundation Establishment Completion in the future, he might be able to ask to use this Magic Artifact once with Sect Contribution.


    [Junior Brother Chen, this Divine Sword seems to be of Rank-4¡­ Could it be¡­ again¡­]


    Fu Zongjue recalled the opportunity that Chen Mobai had encountered during his first entry into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, where it was said that during the Longevity trial, he met a phantasm of an ultimate being known as the Blue Emperor, witnessing the supreme realm of a sword splitting open a world.


    And recalling Chen Mobai¡¯s unheard-of, astonishing swordsmanship talent, Fu Zongjue felt it likely that his Junior Brother had been chosen by the Blue Emperor as a successor of another generation.


    This Rank-4 purple Divine Sword must be Junior Brother Chen¡¯s opportunity obtained from Longevity Sect after completing his Core Formation!


    After Fu Zongjue settled on what he believed to be the correct answer, the Purple Electric Sword seemed to have eaten its fill, swooping down with trailing blazes, contentedly landing in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    [Master, master, I¡¯m so full, burp¡­]


    The heart voice of the Purple Electric Sword resounded in Chen Mobai¡¯s sea of consciousness, who looked up at the seventy to eighty percent of remaining Heavenly Tribulation in the sky and couldn¡¯t help scratching his head.


    Chen Mobai: [Are you really that small of an eater?]


    Purple Electric Sword: [Master, I¡¯ve already eaten a lot, I was too hungry before.]


    Chen Mobai: [I thought you¡¯d be able to eat it all, and still feel hungry.]


    Purple Electric Sword: [I can¡¯t eat half a month¡¯s meals in one go, so how about you let me out to eat again tomorrow, master?]


    After hearing the words of the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai looked up at the Heavenly Tribulation that had been partly drained of its Thunder Essence and silently resumed using the Returning Essence Secret Technique to send his Pure Yang Spiritual Power back into his All Laws Persona.


    As expected, the Heavenly Tribulation, which had been gathering, became hesitant again, and signs of dispersing followed.


    But Chen Mobai thought carefully: He was about to fight with a Golden Core Cultivator from Nanxuan Sect. If he didn¡¯t overcome the tribulation first, he couldn¡¯t make a full-powered strike.


    He shouldn¡¯t lose sight of the larger issue for a small gain and decided to proceed with overcoming the Tribulation first.


    [If you cannot digest more of this Tribulation Thunder, I¡¯ll have to fully trigger it.]


    ¡°`


    Due to the absorption by the Purple Lightning Sword, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation had dissipated somewhat, and Chen Mobai now had a hundred percent confidence in overcoming it. Therefore, he decided not to delay any longer. After speaking a sentence to the Purple Lightning Sword, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power returned once again, calling forth the Heavenly Tribulation.


    [Why?]


    The Purple Lightning Sword, after hearing this, did not understand at all.


    With such delicious food, why consume it all at once instead of offering it slowly over time?


    Chen Mobai explained the nature of the Heavenly Tribulation to it and also spoke of his upcoming life and death struggle with a powerful enemy. If he did not resolve this, his heart would be burdened, and he would not be able to give his all.


    The Purple Lightning Sword seemed to understand, but not quite, as there was no such thing as Heavenly Tribulation in the Immortal Gates.


    However, it roughly got the picture.


    [Master, the old master¡¯s Zi Hua Sword Manual contains a move called Divine Sword Control Thunder Technique. If you wish to fight against someone, I can guide you to draw in the vast Thunder Essence from above and turn it into a Divine Thunder strike, making full use of it.]


    Upon hearing these words from the Purple Lightning Sword, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes immediately lit up, and he began to seek its guidance.


    At the base of the mountain, Fu Zongjue and the others saw the Tribulation Thunder in the sky suddenly vanish without a trace, and they all felt extremely surprised.


    ¡°Is it¡­ over?¡±


    Tie Qingshan was a bit puzzled. The thunder was so loud, yet it seemed like only a few snowflakes had fallen?


    Was the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation this easy?


    Although Fu Zongjue had his doubts, he knew that the most taboo thing during core formation was to be disturbed by others, so he did not go directly to the summit of Wuliushan but instead waited for Chen Mobai to come out.


    About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense later, the array of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation atop the mountain dispersed, and the figure of Chen Mobai, floating as if an immortal, appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    Fu Zongjue asked Tie Qingshan, Zhou Bingyan, and the others to stay put, and flew up himself.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, have you overcome the tribulation?¡±


    Fu Zongjue, seeing Chen Mobai seemingly unchanged from before, hesitantly asked.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, when I was undergoing the tribulation, I was suddenly transported once again to the secret realm of the Longevity Sect, where I witnessed the Supreme Sword Path of the Blue Emperor senior once more.¡±


    ¡°I do not know how long I stayed there, but just as I had an epiphany about the Blue Emperor¡¯s Sword Dao, this Purple Lightning Sword suddenly shot through the void and landed in my palm.¡±


    ¡°I thought it was an illusion. Who would have thought that when I opened my eyes, the sword was indeed in my hand. I was quite alarmed, unsure if this is a blessing or a curse.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s acting skills weren¡¯t great, but his words confirmed the previous guess in Fu Zongjue¡¯s heart, who was shocked yet couldn¡¯t hide his envy.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, if you feel uncertain, you can let me keep this divine sword for you. Whatever trouble it brings, I will take as your senior brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai gave an awkward laugh but did not respond.


    Although he knew that Fu Zongjue was not compatible with the attributes of the Purple Lightning Sword, the latter had a lot of Spirit Stones, with half of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s wealth in his hands.


    The loyalty of the Purple Lightning Sword, in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, had always been zero.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, when I obtained this divine sword, I also acquired a Cultivation Technique named Zi Hua Sword Manual¡­¡±


    This technique was given to Chen Mobai by the Purple Lightning Sword and was not downloaded from the Immortal Gates, so it could be disclosed to the Divine Wood Sect.


    If possible, Chen Mobai planned to pass down this technique within the Divine Wood Sect.


    It would also serve as a preparation for his use of the Divine Sword Control Thunder Technique.

    Upon hearing that Chen Mobai divulged the Zi Hua Sword Manual without reservation, Fu Zongjue¡¯s expression flickered, thinking that it really lives up to the Sect¡¯s expectations for its main pillar; his loyalty was undeniable.


    ¡°Such an impressive sword technique, it¡¯s just a pity that only those with Thunder Spiritual Roots can cultivate it!¡±


    Fu Zongjue earnestly memorized the Zi Hua Sword Manual. Although no one in the Sect could cultivate it, a technique that pointed directly to the Nascent Soul Realm was helpful to him and Zhou Shengqing.


    Moreover, if it were to be given to Mo Douguang for reference, perhaps it could take the Sword Dao Realm of the top sword cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness to the next level.

 Chapter 921 - Chapter 921 Chapter 508 The Appearance of the Purple Electric

    Chapter 921: Chapter 508: The Appearance of the Purple Electric Sword (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Reward from Blind Monkey Squatting) Chapter 921: Chapter 508: The Appearance of the Purple Electric Sword (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Reward from Blind Monkey Squatting) ¡°I have no interest in the Sword Dao, and only enjoy farming. This Sword Manual in my possession is like casting pearls before swine. Fu Shixiong can give it to Brother Mo. If the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff have suitable seeds, they can also let them cultivate it.¡±


    While Fu Zongjue was still thinking about how to broach the subject, Chen Mobai took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°I¡¯ll thank Junior Brother on behalf of Brother Mo first.¡±


    Mo Douguang would certainly not refuse the Zi Hua Sword Manual.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai mentioned something about his tribulation. When Fu Zongjue heard that he had already attuned with the Purple Electric Sword Heart and could achieve Unity of Man and Sword to unleash the power of this Rank-4 Sword, he couldn¡¯t help but take a sharp breath.


    [Junior Brother Chen¡¯s swordmanship talent far surpasses Brother Mo¡¯s!]


    As Fu Zongjue thought this to himself, he became even more confident about the upcoming battle with the Nanxuan sect.


    While the two were discussing the preparations for an ambush, Fu Zongjue also used a secret technique transmitted through Divine Sense to inform his true body in Northern Abyss City about the Zi Hua Sword Manual via a puppet.


    ¡°Brother, what brings you here?¡±


    Mo Douguang opened his eyes and deactivated the Formation, looking at the entrance where Fu Zongjue stood, with a slightly strange look on his face.


    He was a reclusive person, ever since he arrived in Northern Abyss City, he had been meditating in the Cave Dwelling where the Spiritual Energy was the richest atop North Abyss Mountain.


    Fu Zongjue was aware of his personality and never bothered him. Whenever it was time to spar, Mo Douguang would always come out with his Sword without any reminder.


    Therefore, seeing Fu Zongjue seeking him out on his own was very strange to Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Brother Mo, during Junior Brother Chen¡¯s tribulation, he obtained a Zi Hua Sword Manual from the Longevity Sect!¡±


    Mo Douguang was absolutely trustworthy. After listening to Fu Zongjue¡¯s transmission, his usually calm eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp glint, like two exquisite Sword blooms.


    ¡°What an exquisite Sword Technique, my Golden Crane Sword Art seems crude in comparison. It allows one to glimpse the grace of the Ancient Longevity Sect¡­¡±


    As a grandmaster of the Sword Dao, Mo Douguang had always been solitary in the Eastern Wilderness because he stood at the peak of the Sword Dao, with no one to share his insights.


    Outside of the Eastern Wilderness, he was unable to seek out any Nascent Soul Level Sword Cultivation methods, and could only sit and contemplate on his own.


    Thus, when he heard of the Zi Hua Sword Manual today, a Sword Technique that was even at the top in the Immortal Gates, he felt as if he had encountered a divine book that brought him Enlightenment.


    In an instant, the bottleneck that had trapped him for decades began to loosen, and he saw the way to break through to the Late Stage of Core Formation.


    He even saw a glimmer of hope in reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.


    ¡°I lament not being born in the era of the Ancient Immortal Cultivation¡­¡±


    After contemplating the Zi Hua Sword Manual, Mo Douguang felt as though he had seen an era of prosperous Immortal Dao from this exquisite and unparalleled Sword Technique.


    He had thought that the era of the Longevity Sect must have been like that.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, how can I ever thank Junior Brother Chen?¡±


    After his emotional moment, Mo Douguang thought of how he came to receive the Zi Hua Sword Manual, all thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s selfless donation, and couldn¡¯t help but ask aloud.


    ¡°For the sake of our Divine Wood Sect, Brother Mo has faced death many times. It¡¯s only right that you receive the Zi Hua Sword Manual.¡±


    Fu Zongjue spoke diplomatically. Although the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff were highly integrated, with their fortunes and misfortunes intertwined, Mo Douguang had steadfastly stood by their side ever since the division, and a single Zi Hua Sword Manual could hardly repay his loyalty.


    ¡°I understand. After the war ends, I will let Junior Brother Chen study the Primordial True Qi left by our master.¡±


    Mo Douguang thought it over and felt that only this was worthy of the value of the Zi Hua Sword Manual.


    At these words, even Fu Zongjue showed signs of being moved.


    However, since Mo Douguang was willing to offer this for Chen Mobai, it was good news, so Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t say much more, nodded, and took his leave.


    After watching him go, Mo Douguang closed his eyes and once again began to comprehend the Zi Hua Sword Manual!


    ¡­


    ¡°We can confirm now that the Fu Zongjue in Northern Abyss City is the real one.¡±


    On the other side of the battlefield, two Core Formation cultivators from the Nanxuan sect and Nanxuan Jing, through their interactions over time, had confirmed what they needed to know.


    ¡°I can keep Mo Douguang busy for a while. The two of you brothers should be able to take down Fu Zongjue without a problem, right?¡±


    Nanxuan Jing spoke up, confident that if they could kill Fu Zongjue, the battle line of the Divine Wood Sect at this location would completely collapse. Even if Zhou Shengqing left his seclusion, he would probably be unable to recover from this defeat.


    ¡°If we brothers join forces and still can¡¯t take down a cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage, wouldn¡¯t that damage the reputation of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace? But are you sure you can hold back Mo Douguang?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang, who always fancied himself as a tactician, was at the peak of the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage. In a true battle, he would not be inferior to Nanxuan Jing and was entirely confident in taking down Fu Zongjue.


    However, he was skeptical about Nanxuan Jing¡¯s abilities, since even the East Barbarians acknowledged Mo Douguang as the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness.

    ¡°I¡¯ve brought all my Hexajia Heavenly Soldiers with me. It wouldn¡¯t just be Mo Douguang; even Zhou Shengqing, once trapped in my Formation, would not escape unscathed.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing said with full confidence.


    Hearing the four words ¡°Hexajia Heavenly Soldiers,¡± Zhao Xuankang¡¯s expression turned to one of surprise.


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually mastered it.¡±


    After Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s death, he personally steered the splitting of the Five Elements Sect and the great turmoil in the Eastern Wilderness, so he knew the major schools here like the back of his hand.

 Chapter 922 - Chapter 922 Chapter 508 The Appearance of the Purple Electric

    Chapter 922: Chapter 508: The Appearance of the Purple Electric Sword (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Reward from Blind Monkey Squatting)_2 Chapter 922: Chapter 508: The Appearance of the Purple Electric Sword (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Reward from Blind Monkey Squatting)_2 The inheritance of Liu Jia Mountain is very ancient and can be traced back to the ¡°Six Jia Heavenly God¡± of the Eastern Emperor Court, which is a puppetry technique of the fifth-stage God Transformation level.


    However, after the disintegration of the Eastern Emperor Court, this Six Ding Six Jia puppetry technique was taken away by various holy lands, and some were passed down by the loose cultivators worshipped within the court.


    The founding ancestor of Liu Jia Mountain obtained part of this inheritance.


    But the inheritance was incomplete, only up to the Rank-3 Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers and part of the Rank-4 Six Jia Heavenly Generals.


    If Teacher Nan truly mastered the Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers, then that would mean six Rank-3 puppets.


    Joining forces to set up an array, indeed, they could contend with Mo Douguang and Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°I have dismantled the half-complete Six Jia Heavenly General left by Brother Yan Fusheng, thinking that his spirit in heaven will certainly forgive me for doing this to avenge him.¡±


    Teacher Nan did not hide the fact that Yan Fusheng nearly succeeded in becoming a Six Jia Heavenly General, and naturally, the puppet belonged to the former after his passing away in meditation.


    However, Teacher Nan previously still held the ambition to wait until his own cultivation level progressed further to repair the broken Six Jia Heavenly General.


    But after the Divine Wood Sect was annihilated and Mountain Shaker Peak was lost, he realized the reality and decisively gave up on the vast future to seize the present.


    After dismantling the Six Jia Heavenly General, he exhausted most of the sect¡¯s resources, but eventually succeeded in perfecting the Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers, thus gaining the courage to leave the mountain.


    ¡°This time I come, it¡¯s to make all those related to the Five Elements Sect feel pain, and Fu Zongjue will be the first.¡±


    Hearing Teacher Nan¡¯s words, Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing exchanged a smile, as the three of them began to envision the scene of leveling Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡­


    War erupted just as both sides had predicted!


    On the wilderness above Northern Abyss City, the war arrays of both sides converged into powerful Taoist soldiers, harnessing the mighty nature¡¯s spiritual energy to form powerful beams of light, shaking the skies and disturbing the earth.


    The collision of powerful spiritual power with the Wood Attribute sent ripples through the atmosphere like waves on water.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure was already hidden midair, he commanded the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to form a white cloud, carrying Tie Qingshan, Zhou Bingyan, and the others, waiting for the opportunity to make his move.


    In the midst of thunderous roars,


    The Taoist soldiers of both sides began to disintegrate one by one, the rampant and uncontrollable nature¡¯s spiritual energy painting the sky with strings of rainbow light, accompanied by bloodshed, cruel, yet beautiful.


    ¡°It has begun¡­ Eh¡­?¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Core Formation auras rising from both sides¡¯ ranks, was about to drop Tie Qingshan and the others onto the battlefield while awaiting Fu Zongjue, whom he expected to feign a rout soon, and ambush either Nanxuan Jing or Zhao Xuankang, when he noticed an additional Golden Core Cultivator on the opposing side.


    ¡°Teacher Nan!¡±


    On the battlefield, Fu Zongjue naturally saw this as well, and his expression changed slightly.


    Originally, according to their plan, he was to feign defeat on the battlefield, while Mo Douguang pretended to be unable to help him, naturally beginning to flee.


    But now that Teacher Nan appeared, he felt there was no need to pretend anymore.


    Facing two against one, he was certainly not a match!


    Yet at that moment, he felt that the previous plan was probably pointless.


    Originally, he and Chen Mobai, lying in ambush, might have been able to kill a Core Formation cultivator from the Nanxuan sect.


    But now that the numbers were even, even if they managed to draw the enemy in according to the plan, the tactic would be ineffective in a two-on-two situation.


    ¡°Today, you are undoubtedly going to die!¡±


    Zhao Xuankang and Nanxuan Jing flew in from the left and the right, blocking Fu Zongjue¡¯s retreat back to Northern Abyss City. Each of them took out their lifespan artifact and in an instant, they had stimulated their spiritual power to the extreme, determined to kill Fu Zongjue in the shortest possible time.


    ¡°Are you two so confident that you can deal with me?¡±


    Fu Zongjue, facing the encirclement of two Golden Core cultivators from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, remained calm and composed.


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it, you will die, Zhou Shengqing coming won¡¯t save you.¡±


    Nanxuan Jing spoke with an icy expression, commanding a golden spherical Magic Artifact engraved with delicate mountains and rivers. As he channeled Spiritual Power into it, an illusory sky materialized, enveloping half the battlefield.


    This was his Lifespan Artifact, the Brocade Golden Bead.


    Once an enemy was trapped inside, the only ways out were either for him to retract it willingly or to be defeated; otherwise, they would be trapped forever.


    He would only bring out this artifact when facing a formidable opponent he intended to kill.


    Zhao Xuankang also picked up his Dragon Hitting Whip, woven from Rank-3 Flood Dragon blood vines. With Spiritual Power Injection, a golden-red Flood Dragon phantom emerged beneath his feet, carrying him into the Brocade Golden Bead. Amid the ever-changing vast mountains and rivers, he looked like an Immortal ascending on a dragon, exuding an air of divine elegance.


    Both Golden Core Cultivators wanted a swift and decisive battle, leaving no chance for Fu Zongjue to survive.


    In a series of Gas Explosions, the Dragon Hitting Whip struck the Golden Sun Puppet repeatedly, which, following a succession of crisp crackling noises, could no longer hold itself together and utterly shattered.


    In the end, one had to rely on sheer strength!


    Witnessing this, Master Nan Shi descended calmly in front of Mo Douguang.


    ¡°You actually dare to face me,¡± he said.


    Mo Douguang looked at Master Nan Shi with some surprise. The Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness were well-known to him for many years. Master Nan Shi had always been at the bottom, only at the Early Golden Core Stage.


    As a Sword Cultivator, Mo Douguang¡¯s combat strength was among the strongest in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Hmph, today you will witness the mighty Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain!¡±


    Master Nan Shi, harboring aspirations to make a great impression, saw how the two from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were displaying their power and pushing Fu Zongjue to the brink and wanted to showcase his own strength as well.


    With a cold sneer, he split into six¨Csix puppets of varying heights and shapes with faces expressing happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, and grief, each holding a saber, spear, sword, halberd, stick, or club, and they surrounded Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Oh, Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers!¡±


    Mo Douguang had heard of Yan Fusheng back when he was at the Five Elements Sect. Their eldest senior brother had once competed in techniques with Yan Fusheng, and he had nothing but praise for the Puppetry Technique.


    ¡°Since you know, let your renown as the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s number one Sword Cultivator honor the name of Liu Jia Mountain today,¡± said Master Nan Shi, just as he was about to launch the Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers Array.


    Suddenly, a thunderous roar that shook the universe erupted.


    He involuntarily turned his head to look.


    In the sky, amidst the flashing lightning, stood a handsome youth in a red-black long robe, wielding an ancient looking Sword Artifact shimmering with purple light. Like a deity commanding thunder and lightning, he swung his sword at the heavens, and in that instant, a myriad of lightning seemed to be drawn to it, converging into a thunderous column striking the tip of the sword.


    An unimaginably vast energy coalesced around the ancient longsword in just a flash, and as the youth in the red-black long robe swung his sword, a dazzling purple lightning beam swept toward them.


    ¡°Why is it aimed at me¡­¡± Master Nan Shi trembled as he recognized the direction of the Purple Electric Sword.


    The moment the dazzling lightning beam slammed overhead, he was reminded of the closest he had ever come to death¨Cthe time he underwent his Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation.


    Master Nan Shi didn¡¯t understand why he would think of that now; his Divine Sense burst forth, immediately suppressing all illusions and fears in his mind, and he fused the Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers into one, activating his strongest secret technique.


    A wisp of silver-white light illuminated his Puppet Body, carrying a majestic and powerful aura, forming a Silver Light Cover, which bravely withstood the divine might of the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Chen Mobai felt resistance against his wrist and added a bit of force¨Cthe Purple Electric Sword immediately pierced through the silver shield.


    Master Nan Shi had pushed his Puppetry Technique to the extreme with the Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers combined into one, but against the might of the heavens, it barely made a ripple.

    Chen Mobai had never felt so powerful before; this was the first time since his Core Formation that he freely unleashed his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    This was also the first time he could control the Purple Electric Sword.


    The essence of the Divine Sword Control Thunder Technique flowed through his mind!


    Carried along by the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact in his hand, he drew in the vast lightning from the sky, unleashing the most brilliant sword strike of his life.


    As the Purple Electric Sword followed Chen Mobai¡¯s wrist movement, cutting through six nameless puppets, he roughly adapted to the power of this sword strike. Mobai swung again, striking heavily towards the Brocade Golden Bead hanging in midair.

 Chapter 923 - Chapter 923 Chapter 509 Sword Slices Through Gold Core

    Chapter 923: Chapter 509: Sword Slices Through Gold Core Chapter 923: Chapter 509: Sword Slices Through Gold Core A Fourth Order Sword Artifact, plus the sword strike forged from the aggregation of all the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s Thunder Essence, unleashed a power that completely surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s imagination.


    With a crackling sound, the Brocade Golden Bead split open a tiny crack.


    Chen Mobai felt a slight resistance at his wrist, then suddenly felt the Purple Electric Sword pull away a third of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea.


    In an instant, a strand of dark purple thunder light shone upon the Purple Electric Sword and quickly infused into the Divine Thunder Sword Light that pressed against the Golden Pearl.


    Boom!


    An earth-shattering bang echoed to the heavens, and in the disbelieving eyes of all the cultivators on the battlefield, what was only a slight crack at first began to spread across the entire Golden Pearl.


    Boom!


    Under the Purple Electric Sword, the Brocade Golden Bead completely shattered, turning into a skyful of glittering light falling from above.


    Spit!


    The instant his Lifespan Artifact was shattered, linked by heart and mind, Nanxuan Jing violently coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Then, the cloud and river landscape disappeared, and the shadows of three Golden Core Cultivators appeared.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s true body was pallid. By his side, a battered puppet, its joints exposing wooden purple patterns, blocked Zhao Xuankang¡¯s Dragon Hitting Whip and Nanxuan Jing¡¯s Golden Halberd.


    This time, to lure the snake from its hole, he used the long-hidden Purple Sun Puppet to ensure his own safety. It was precisely because of this that he had managed to hold on under the full assault of the two opponents.


    Nevertheless, Fu Zongjue was still in grave danger.


    Zhao Xuankang oversaw the entire situation. Seeing Chen Mobai, holding a purple longsword, flying towards him from afar, his expression drastically changed.


    [Impossible, he¡¯s actually reached Core Formation. I¡¯ve arranged so much, under the Demon Dao Nightmare Prayer Technique, even if he didn¡¯t die, he should have sustained severe damage to his vital energy; there¡¯s no way he should have any hope of success¡­]


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai appear, Zhao Xuankang¡¯s heart and mind were greatly shaken, but as a cultivator seasoned by practice, he quickly suppressed all his emotions, his eyes grew cold and harsh as he lifted the Dragon Hitting Whip in his hand.


    He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and this Lifespan Artifact, empowered by this force, instantly turned as red as blood. Amidst the sound of dragon roars, the originally phantom-like Flood Dragon seemed to materialize, opening its gaping maw to bite towards Fu Zongjue in front of it.


    As long as he could kill one Golden Core, even if the Divine Wood Sect had one more Chen Mobai, the winning ticket was still firmly in his grasp.


    But in the Eastern Wilderness, Golden Core Cultivators invariably had last-ditch life-saving techniques in reserve.


    Fu Zongjue immediately produced a green talisman, a Third Rank Superior Grade piece laboriously refined by Zhou Shengqing. Upon activation, a green Spiritual Light enveloped his true body, not only blocking the Dragon Hitting Whip but also pulling him away towards the distance.


    ¡°I told you, today you will die!¡±


    At this point, Nanxuan Jing suppressed the backlash from his Lifespan Artifact shattering. He swallowed a black elixir and, with a fierce shout, clasped his hands together in the void. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rippled like waves towards the Golden Halberd in his palms.


    The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s renowned ¡°Sun Shooting Halberd Technique¡± began to bloom dazzling and brilliant radiance above Rock Country¡¯s skies. Accompanied by the sound of spiritual energy lapping like waves, akin to a golden meteorite falling from the heavens, it shot towards Fu Zongjue!


    Fu Zongjue pushed the power of the talisman in his palm to its limit, hoping to withstand Nanxuan Jing¡¯s desperate attack.


    And at that moment, a trail of flame abruptly appeared in front of him.


    The flame dissipated, revealing Chen Mobai, holding a purple longsword.


    His expression was cold and distant. Lifting the hand that wasn¡¯t holding the sword, an ancient bronze mirror materialized, transforming into a golden semicircular light shield.


    The golden meteor transformed by the Golden Halberd crashed against the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror like it was hitting the earth¡¯s crust.


    In that instant, all the cultivators who witnessed the scene were blinded by the dazzling light and couldn¡¯t keep their eyes open.


    What followed was an incredibly powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, and a massive shockwave.


    The last thing to arrive was the rumble of thunder.


    When the Qi Practitioners down below could open their eyes again, they saw the purple and golden lights, like two brilliant stars, constantly colliding in the sky under the control of two Golden Core Cultivators.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    Boom, boom, boom!


    No one knew how many times the Golden Halberd and the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had clashed, but ultimately it was the light from the Golden Halberd that dimmed first.


    This Golden Halberd Artifact, originally created by the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace for the ¡°Sun Shooting Halberd Technique,¡± was designed to unleash maximum power during a confrontation but was virtually unusable afterwards.


    Failing to break through the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror¡¯s defenses at its strongest meant that all subsequent attempts were futile.


    Yet Nanxuan Jing considered himself a peak Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and felt that dealing with a newly established junior should have been easy, even without his Lifespan Artifact and despite being injured.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, he still had four Golden Halberds in his storage bag for the ¡°Sun Shooting Halberd Technique.¡±


    However, if he wanted to fully utilize the technique, he needed time to gather nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    Nanxuan Jing drew out a golden flying sword, also a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, which he had received from his sect when he had just completed Core Formation.


    Although this Flying Sword was not as good as a Lifespan Artifact, he had been using it for decades and could control it effortlessly.


    With a mere thought, the Golden Flying Sword split into two, then four, and eight, evolving into a Sword Array in mid-air, enveloping Chen Mobai from above.

 Chapter 924 - Chapter 924 Chapter 509 Sword Splits Gold Core_2

    Chapter 924: Chapter 509 Sword Splits Gold Core_2 Chapter 924: Chapter 509 Sword Splits Gold Core_2 ¡°Fu Shixiong, do you need my help?¡±


    At this moment, however, Chen Mobai still had the presence of mind to be concerned about Fu Zongjue, who was being pressed hard by Zhao Xuankang.


    ¡°Hmph, one-on-one, we Puppet Masters fear no one!¡±


    Fu Zongjue also had some pride. The effect of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Spirit Talisman was still there, and coupled with the mystery of the Purple Sun Puppet, he appeared somewhat embarrassed on the battlefield, but Zhao Xuankang could only suppress him and couldn¡¯t deal a fatal blow without Nanxuan Jing¡¯s cooperation.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, I can focus on dealing with this guy now.¡±


    After receiving a reassuring answer, Chen Mobai turned his head to look at Nanxuan Jing opposite him.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror hovering above his head burst into pure white flames, burning the golden Sword Light that fell in front of him into a golden mist.


    After reaching Core Formation, Chen Mobai had been able to bring out the full power of this Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Moreover, because his Pure Yang Spiritual Power perfectly matched the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the Magic Artifact¡¯s two inherent spells, Mysterious Yang Divine Light and Pure Yang God True Fire, could be stimulated to unleash 120% of its power.


    The Mysterious Yang Divine Light blocked Nanxuan Jing¡¯s strongest Sun Shooting Halberd Technique, and once the Pure Yang True Fire burned, the Golden Flying Sword also vibrated intensely, seemingly unable to withstand it.


    Five Elements Fire overcomes Metal. Both Chen Mobai¡¯s Magic Artifact and his Cultivation Technique were of the Yang Fire Attribute. Although he was one realm below Nanxuan Jing, he was actually suppressing the latter who was injured.


    A kill is possible!


    After exchanging two moves, the thought clearly emerged in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    He himself didn¡¯t know why he had this thought.


    It was like an instinct. In his mind, the existence of Nanxuan Jing had turned into a quantified model with some negative states labeled: [Injured] [Magic Artifact Missing] [Spiritual Power Depletion] [Tiger wolf medicine]¡­


    Across from Nanxuan Jing was a model of Chen Mobai himself, with some positive buff states added overhead, and equipment and skill slots below.


    [Purple Electric Sword: Can be used for two more strikes without depleting the source.]


    [Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror: Lifespan Artifact perfectly equipped, combat power bonus applied.]


    [Pure Yang Spiritual Power: Slightly depleted, Fire Spirit Body boost, Heavenly Fire Spirit Root boost.]


    [Green Flames Sword Slaughter] [Five Elements Sword Pointer] [All Laws Persona]¡­


    ¡°Is this the Guidance Book?¡±


    Chen Mobai had some enlightenment, yet felt that the Guidance Book wasn¡¯t meant to be practiced this way.


    However, at this time, he could only suppress all the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, manipulating the Pure Yang True Fire into clumps of fireballs, bombing towards Nanxuan Jing opposite him.


    Amidst the twinkling Jinguang, Nanxuan Jing gathered Spiritual Energy to form barrier after barrier, blocking the attack.


    Chen Mobai clenched his Purple Electric Sword and raised it high!


    Boom!


    Purple and red lightning flashed in the sky. Although the power of the Heavenly Tribulation had been fully consumed in the strike that shattered the Brocade Golden Bead earlier, the Purple Electric Sword could still employ Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power to deploy the Divine Sword Control Thunder Technique.


    Seeing this, Nanxuan Jing¡¯s expression changed. He took out a yellow Spirit Talisman with a pained face and, upon stimulating it with Spiritual Power, turned it into an earth-yellow light shield that enveloped his entire body.


    However, after Chen Mobai raised his sword, he did not bring it down.


    Although the Purple Electric Sword was strange, it was in harmony with Chen Mobai¡¯s intentions. When sword and person controlled each other, if the master did not command it to strike, it obediently did not strike.


    It was just a bit uncomfortable to hold back.


    ¡°Damn brat!¡±


    Nanxuan Jing cursed when he saw this, his Spirit Talisman once activated could block any Rank-3 attack, but its defensive power would weaken over time.


    However, it could last for three days and three nights if no one attacked.


    Though he cursed with a gloomy face, he didn¡¯t lose his rationality, and continued to gather Spiritual Energy to deploy the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique.


    And at that moment, a flame light had already emerged in front of him.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure suddenly traversed the distance between the two, and a huge semi-transparent skeletal claw materialized, fiercely grabbing hold of the earth-yellow light shield.


    A surge of wild Earth Element force burst forth, forcibly opening the All Laws Persona.


    ¡°`


    But at that moment, All Laws Persona¡¯s skeletal claws suddenly condensed the Five Elements Spiritual Energy of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which then transformed into a five-colored flame. Under the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation, it solidified into a glaze-like radiance, resembling a colorful storm formed by the convergence of Five Elements Sword Light, fiercely rubbing against the earth-yellow light shield, and unleashing an even more terrifying surge of spiritual energy.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate at all and directed the Purple Electric Sword to strike.


    Boom!


    The long-suppressed Purple Electric Sword suddenly burst forth, with a purple current erupting in an instant, transforming into a gigantic column of purple lightning spanning heaven and earth, and heavily striking the violently distorted and fluctuating earth-yellow light shield.


    The clash between the two attracted the attention of all cultivators present, whether they were at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Cultivation stage, everyone stopped at this point and watched the terrifyingly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations in midair, their faces filled with shock.


    Is this the full glory of a Golden Core Cultivator?


    As time passed, the engulfing column of purple lightning that spanned heaven and earth slowly dissipated.


    The blood-drenched Nanxuan Jing appeared before everyone. He extended his right hand, covered with a layer of splendid golden light, and with difficulty, grasped the Purple Electric Sword that Chen Mobai had slashed at him.


    Alas, the power of a fourth-grade sword artifact was not something he could withstand.


    The sword blade directly penetrated his palm, piercing straight into his shoulder.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Nanxuan Jing dodging at the critical moment, that strike would likely have been fatal.


    ¡°This sword¡­¡±


    It was only now that Nanxuan Jing realized something was wrong; he had originally thought that this sword artifact was merely fourth-grade lower class.


    ¡°As the first Golden Core Cultivator I¡¯ve slain, I¡¯ll grant you a swift end,¡± Chen Mobai said, not allowing Nanxuan Jing to finish his sentence. Chen Mobai opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of cyan light, with a gentle flick, he beheaded the Golden Core Cultivator of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    ¡°Junior Brother!¡±


    Zhao Xuankang had already noticed that something was off about Chen Mobai, the newly advanced Golden Core¡¯s combat power, and wanted to come to help, but Mo Douguang had already dealt with the true body hidden nearby by Nanxuan Jing¡¯s teacher, arriving just in time to intercept him.


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s your turn,¡± said Mo Douguang, holding the blood-dripping Longevity Sword, and looking indifferently at the desperate Zhao Xuankang, spoke coldly.


    ¡°Just wait for the Great Elder to bloodwash the Eastern Wilderness,¡± Zhao Xuankang gritted his teeth and spoke, retrieving a silver talisman.


    Mo Douguang immediately swung his sword at him, but when his sword light reached Zhao Xuankang, it was as if it had sliced into an illusion, passing by harmlessly.


    ¡°Escape Sky Talisman!¡± exclaimed Fu Zongjue, seeing Zhao Xuankang¡¯s form being enveloped by silver light, gradually vanishing.


    The fourth-grade Escape Sky Talisman, even in the hands of Nascent Soul Cultivators, was a trump card for escape.


    Nobody expected Zhao Xuankang, just a Golden Core, to possess such a talisman.


    Having slain Nanxuan Jing, Chen Mobai turned his head and saw this scene as well. He frowned, raised the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, and poured the last of his spiritual power into it, activating the final portion of the sword¡¯s power available for use today.


    Alas, after piercing through the silver light, the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s light was left with less than a tenth of its power. Zhao Xuankang grimly endured the blow and then disappeared from their sight.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, only one Nanxuan Jing was killed, and the complete achievement was not fulfilled,¡± Chen Mobai came over and said with a bit of regret.


    ¡°Killing one is quite good already. With the death of Nanxuan Jing and the escape of Zhao Xuankang, the Nanxuan Sect exists in name only. From now on, Rock Country and Sky Country will truly belong to the Divine Wood Sect,¡± Fu Zongjue laughed heartily.

    ¡°Winning this battle decisively, Junior Brother Chen, you should be credited as the main contributor,¡± said Fu Zongjue.


    Chen Mobai, hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, humbly shook his head, indicating that without his sole efforts, it definitely would have been impossible to kill Nanxuan Jing.


    ¡°With your early Golden Core stage cultivation, sword-slaying in the middle stage, your talent in the Sword Dao surpasses even mine,¡± said Mo Douguang. His most famous feat was defeating two Rank-3 demonic beasts in Cloud Dream Swamp right after his Core Formation.


    Coming from him, this praise was no doubt highly valuable.

 Chapter 925 - Chapter 925 Chapter 510 Mo Douguangs Breakthrough

    Chapter 925: Chapter 510 Mo Douguang¡¯s Breakthrough Chapter 925: Chapter 510 Mo Douguang¡¯s Breakthrough ¡°`


    ¡°Far from it, compared to Brother Mo, I still have a long way to go.¡±


    Chen Mobai always showed a modest side in front of his own people.


    Moreover, it was the truth; Mo Douguang was recognized as the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness in the past century, a true Sword Dao genius.


    Unlike Mo Douguang, he relied entirely on Empowerment, which was quite superficial.


    ¡°Nanxuan Jing also fell by my hand, and the territory of Rainbow Country can now be taken over by your people.¡±


    At this moment, Mo Douguang brought up something that made Fu Zongjue even more ecstatic.


    ¡°Nanxuan Jing is dead?!¡±


    ¡°Yes, don¡¯t Puppet Masters like you always love to lurk near the battlefield, manipulating from close by? After Junior Brother Chen cut down the Liu Jia Heavenly Soldiers, I sensed the surroundings with my Sword Heart and found below us the subtle aura he revealed. Disguised as a Loose Cultivator on the battlefield, I descended and cut him down.¡±


    ¡°Brother Mo is formidable.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but express his admiration.


    He was so focused on confronting Nanxuan Jing that he hadn¡¯t even noticed when Mo Douguang had killed Nanxuan Jing.


    It could only be said that once a Sword Cultivator got started, slaying Cultivators of a lower Realm than oneself was indeed like slicing through vegetables.


    Mo Douguang shook his head, not taking credit for himself: ¡°If you hadn¡¯t annihilated the Liu Jia Heavenly Soldiers, I probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill him. You are indeed the chief contributor to the victory of this battle, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°Liu Jia Heavenly Soldiers!? Nanxuan Jing actually managed to cultivate them!¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was listening on the side, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise. As a Puppet Master, among all the Puppetry Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness, he only held the inheritance of Liu Jia Mountain in high esteem.


    ¡°Here, I know you wanted this; I found it in his Storage Bag.¡±


    Mo Douguang tossed a yellowed book to Fu Zongjue, who accepted it with a look of joy, eagerly starting to read it.


    As he was reading, Fu Zongjue¡¯s facial expressions were extremely rich, at times nodding, at times frowning, and occasionally having moments of sudden realization.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°This Liu Jia Heavenly General Puppetry Technique seems different from The Art of Longevity Puppetry I cultivate, but they appear related. The profound mysteries within require careful deliberation. Moreover, compared to the Perennial Wood Dragon, the Liu Jia Heavenly Generals seem easier to cultivate. I think, if I want to become a Fourth-Rank Puppet Master, I may need to switch directions to this.¡±


    After hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, both Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang felt genuinely happy for him.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, achieving Nascent Soul Formation was incredibly difficult.


    Given that reaching Nascent Soul was a luxury, cultivating a Rank-4 skill from the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation became the dream of every Golden Core Cultivator.


    Yet, in the Eastern Wilderness, only Zhou Shengqing was a publicly recognized Rank-4 Talisman Master and Yan Shaoyin a Rank-4 Alchemist.


    The journey to become a Rank-4 Puppet Master was even more arduous; after all, this art among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation was considered obscure in the Eastern Wilderness. If Fu Zongjue hadn¡¯t put so much effort into this Technique, he even considered giving up and switching to Artifact Refining.


    However, now that he had obtained the inheritance from Liu Jia Mountain, Fu Zongjue saw hope in becoming a Fourth-Rank Puppet Master.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Mo.¡±


    After finishing his reading, Fu Zongjue solemnly thanked Mo Douguang, who shook his head in response, turning around to give Chen Mobai a formal salute with his hands clasped.


    Mo Douguang: ¡°I should be the one thanking Junior Brother Chen, as the Zi Hua Sword Manual has shown me the path ahead.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I am also delighted to have been able to help Brother Mo.¡±


    Mo Douguang: ¡°I¡¯ll leave the cleanup of the battlefield to you; I¡¯m heading back to Golden Cliff.¡±


    After these words, Mo Douguang suddenly tossed his Longevity Sword to Chen Mobai, who caught it with a look of surprise: ¡°Brother Mo, what does this mean?¡±


    ¡°Our master once left me three strands of Primordial True Qi for me to comprehend the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    ¡°One merged into my body, one refined into this Longevity Sword, and the last one is in the Primordial Stone.¡±


    ¡°The Primordial Stone is the core of the formation at Jinguang Cliff and cannot be moved, so you can take this sword to study for now; however, the Primordial True Qi within this sword is tainted with my Essence, Qi, and Spirit and has become somewhat impure. If you find time in the future, you can come to Jinguang Cliff to comprehend the most primal Primordial True Qi left in the Primordial Stone by our master.¡±


    As Mo Douguang spoke, Fu Zongjue also conveyed a message to Chen Mobai, explaining the reason Mo Douguang gave him the Primordial True Qi to study¨Cit was to thank him for gifting the Zi Hua Sword Manual.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the pursuit of the Primordial Dao Fruit exclusively for those with Heavenly Earth Spirit Root?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked after he had heard all this, sounding somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°That is the orthodox method of cultivation. Our master had another theory and chose me, but I made a vow of Dao Heart in front of our master, so I can¡¯t speak of it to you.¡±


    In saying this, Mo Douguang was essentially treating Chen Mobai as his most trusted confidant.


    Chen Mobai nodded after hearing this, then raised the Longevity Sword with both hands to give it back: ¡°This sword is Brother Mo¡¯s lifeblood, and my Spiritual Root is of the Fire element, so I cannot cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit. Please take it back, Brother Mo.¡±

    He was very clear about his own abilities; if he truly wished to reach Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation, it would be best to focus wholeheartedly on the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After all, this Immortal Gate Technique only required a plentiful supply of Spirit Stones to hope for a breakthrough and an advancement in realm.


    It was most suited for him.


    Even if he considered turning to the Primordial Dao Fruit, it would only be if his cultivation level hit a bottleneck he couldn¡¯t break through, and he would start thinking about gaining insights from other practices to try and comprehend it.

 Chapter 926 - Chapter 926 Chapter 510 Mo Douguang Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 926: Chapter 510 Mo Douguang Breakthrough_2 Chapter 926: Chapter 510 Mo Douguang Breakthrough_2 ¡°Junior Brother Chen truly has the personality of a sword cultivator, with a Sword Heart that is pure and unsullied by even a speck of dust.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in admiration.


    Mo Douguang was also stunned for a moment before seemingly falling into contemplative thought, standing still as if in a trance.


    About a quarter of an hour later, a burst of hearty laughter rang out.


    The aura around Mo Douguang seemed to break through some boundary, expanding by nearly twice in an instant.


    The Longevity Sword in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands also chimed clearly, flying back into Mo Douguang¡¯s grasp.


    Then, with a slash of the Flying Sword in the air, a burst of pure and transparent Sword Light, which made both Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue¡¯s hairs stand on end, erupted, directly slicing off the top of a nearby hill.


    ¡°Congratulations to Brother Mo on your breakthrough in cultivation level.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes shone brightly as he sincerely congratulated Mo Douguang.


    ¡°It was only with the guidance from Junior Brother Chen that I was able to have this realization. I found that my entire previous life was confined within my master¡¯s Primordial Dao Fruit, and even my sword had become impure. Now that I have shed the burdens on my sword, I have finally crossed the bottleneck and stepped into the late phase of Core Formation.¡±


    Mo Douguang, who was usually composed, couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing after breaking through the bottleneck.


    On the side, Fu Zongjue felt a mix of awe and shock after hearing this; he was happy for Mo Douguang and also deeply impressed by Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishing swordsmanship talent.


    This junior brother not only rapidly advanced in his sword training with every move in tune with the Sword Heart, but he even helped Mo Douguang, who had been stuck at a bottleneck for decades, to make a breakthrough overnight, as if he were the embodiment of the Sword Dao itself.


    ¡°This¡­ all resulted from Brother Mo¡¯s own comprehension and his remarkable talent.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, kept waving his hands, insisting that it had nothing to do with him, but both of them took it as his modesty.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, come visit Jinguang Cliff when you have time. I¡¯m going back to seclude myself and consolidate my realm.¡±


    Mo Douguang, a man of few words, preferred to keep gratitude in his heart. Since Chen Mobai did not want the Longevity Sword, after thanking him again, Mo Douguang turned around and flew back towards Northern Abyss City.


    Before leaving, he summoned a Foundation Establishment practitioner from Jinguang Cliff, murmured a few instructions, and then disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight through the Teleportation Array.


    ¡°Brother Mo is indeed a true sword cultivator,¡± remarked Chen Mobai as he watched Mo Douguang¡¯s unencumbered departure.


    ¡°Brother Mo left too quickly. I was actually considering asking them from Jinguang Cliff to seize some territory in Rainbow Country. Our Divine Wood Sect is really short on manpower,¡± said Fu Zongjue, shaking his head as he watched Mo Douguang leave.


    The Divine Wood Sect originally had territories in four countries and gained Rock Country and Sky Country after subduing Shake Mountain Peak. As they were contesting the platform with the Nanxuan Sect here, to secure their territory, nearly one-third of the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners and subordinate powers were dispatched to this region over the past decade.


    If they were to take over another country, Rainbow Country, they would have to send even more Foundation Establishment practitioners to subjugate Liu Jia Mountain, which was making Fu Zongjue feel overwhelmed with the expanse of his territories.


    These were all happy worries.


    However, even if he suggested it, Mo Douguang would definitely not agree.


    Because Jinguang Cliff lacked talented people to manage it, its own subsidiary, Wind Country, hardly made any profits. If not for a Spirit Stone mine and a few other veins, it would be difficult to distribute resources for the disciples¡¯ cultivation each year.


    Now, most of Jinguang Cliff¡¯s annual income relied on the share from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Accustomed to receiving resources without effort, the sword cultivators of Jinguang Cliff were even less willing to venture out to manage affairs.


    They felt it was enough to be called upon only when it was time to strike down enemies; that was their area of expertise.


    After Mo Douguang left, Jinguang Cliff¡¯s contingent in Northern Abyss City was led by a Foundation Establishment Practitioner named Ning Leshan.


    Chen Mobai recognized this man; back during his time on Green Light Island, he had been under his command, resisting demonic beasts alongside Qi Rui and others.


    He never expected that the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, once seemingly unattainable, was now bowing to him with respect, addressing him as Elder Ancestor.


    ¡°I pay respects to Elder Chen. Before Elder Mo departed, he instructed us to await and heed your commands in all matters.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formality. When I was a Loose Cultivator, I received your protection, do you remember that?¡± Chen Mobai was indeed very pleased to see Ning Leshan with his three long whiskers. The higher one¡¯s cultivation level, the more one enjoyed reminiscing about the past.


    ¡°This¡­ Please forgive my poor memory, I can¡¯t recall when I met Elder Chen?¡±


    However, Ning Leshan had completely forgotten, as at that time he had only stopped mid-air for a moment, said a few words to Wang Yuanwu who was leading the Divine Wood Sect, and had not at all paid attention to Chen Mobai and the other Loose Cultivators on the sidelines, thus not retaining any memory of them.


    ¡°Yun Meng Ze, Green Light Island, back then you were merely at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and now you have reached the Late Phase. No wonder Brother Mo appointed you to lead the team. Keep cultivating diligently, and perhaps one day I could also address you as Junior Brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai recounted their first encounter and encouraged Ning Leshan with a cheerful expression.


    After listening, Ning Leshan first appeared to understand, then looked at the delicate young man sitting before him with a face full of shock.


    More than twenty years ago, this Elder Chen was just a Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator!


    Ning Leshan thought he had done well to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase over these years, considering his talent exceptional, even somewhat proud, and yearning for Core Formation.


    What he had aspired to achieve his entire life, Elder Chen in front of him had done in just over twenty years.


    And that was a progression from Qi Cultivation to Core Formation, crossing two major realms.


    Was this what it meant to be an extraordinary Sword Dao talent?


    For the first time in his life, Ning Leshan felt a profound reverence for someone else¡¯s talent.


    Mo Douguang was also very impressive, but when Ning Leshan started cultivating, Mo Douguang was already at Core Formation, and now, after all this time, Mo Douguang remained in Core Formation.


    Ning Leshan felt that given enough time and resources, he could reach or even surpass Mo Douguang¡¯s realm.


    But with Elder Chen before him, Ning Leshan felt that even if he spent ten times or a hundred times the resources, he would probably only be able to follow in his wake, without any hope of surpassing him.


    If he had known this earlier, he would have paid more attention back then. Such an extraordinary Sword Dao genius, it was simply a waste for him to join the Divine Wood Sect. He should have been recruited by their Golden Cliff, where he could truly shine.


    While Ning Leshan was regretting his negligence, Fu Zongjue walked in. After the great battle, he had led the army of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect faction to sweep up the remnants of the Nanxuan sect.


    Unfortunately, the opponents were all cunning, and when they saw Nanxuan Jing killed and Zhao Xuankang fleeing, they scattered and ran at the first opportunity.


    The people from Nanxuan sect had used a pre-arranged Teleportation Array to escape back to Treasure Color Market. By the time Fu Zongjue caught up, they had long taken most of the Spirit Stone resources and vanished without a trace.


    Relaying on his Divine Sense as a Core Formation practitioner, Fu Zongjue chased down two Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Nanxuan sect and acted ruthlessly without hesitation.


    But such acts of bullying the weak gave Fu Zongjue no pleasure, so after killing the two, he handed over the task of pursuing to King Zhou and delegate the army¡¯s command to Yue Zutao before he returned.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you¡¯re familiar with the matters here, would you mind taking charge of wrapping things up? I¡¯m going to Rainbow Country to pressure Liu Jia Mountain and acquire their heritage in the Puppetry Technique.¡±


    Although Fu Zongjue had obtained the most profound Puppetry Technique from Liu Jia Mountain, understanding it thoroughly would still require some fundamental puppetry heritage, which was indispensable.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The heritage of Liu Jia Mountain was even more ancient than that of the Five Elements Sect, and their research into the puppetry technique of Liu Jia Deity undoubtedly surpassed Fu Zongjue¡¯s knowledge by far. If he could plunder these to supplement his own puppet knowledge system, then Fu Zongjue would be even more confident of becoming a Rank-4 Puppet Master.


    ¡°Go ahead, Brother Fu, do you need to take some people with you?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll bring some from the Penalty Evil Hall and the Puppet Division to help out. However, since Master Nan is dead, if the Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain is wise, he should readily open their gates and offer up all their puppetry heritage when I arrive. Then, if I¡¯m in a good mood, I might even spare them a way out.¡±


    In the midst of Fu Zongjue¡¯s hearty laughter, Vice Hall Master Quan Shanlin and the head of the Puppet Division, An Jinghui, along with six other Foundation Establishment Practitioners, had already arrived at the door.


    Once his people had assembled, Fu Zongjue wasted no time and flew directly towards Rainbow Country, bordering Rock Country.

 Chapter 927 - Chapter 927 Chapter 511 Eastern Wilderness Reaction

    Chapter 927: Chapter 511: Eastern Wilderness Reaction Chapter 927: Chapter 511: Eastern Wilderness Reaction ¡°Very well, very well, since you Liu Jia Mountain are so aware of the times, then I will keep my word and spare your lives. From now on, just seal the mountain for cultivation.¡±


    Fu Zongjue laughed heartily upon seeing Sect Leader Xu Shengbing of Liu Jia Mountain indeed open the Mountain Protection Array and send up all the hundreds of scrolls of puppet knowledge that had been passed down for a thousand years.


    An Jinghui immediately went up to check the puppet inheritance. He was the head of the Puppet Division in the Divine Wood Sect and the most knowledgeable in these matters present, second only to Fu Zongjue himself.


    After confirming there were no issues, he took out a Storage Bag, packed all the hundreds of books and scrolls, and then returned to Fu Zongjue¡¯s side, respectfully handing them over.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Fu Zongjue did not linger a step longer. He rode his Escaping Light and led the Divine Wood Sect away from Liu Jia Mountain.


    Only after watching their figures disappear did Xu Shengbing raise his head, a flash of resentment crossing his eyes.


    But without a Golden Core Cultivator holding the fort, how could they resist the evil alliance of forces centered around the Divine Wood Sect from the Eastern Wilderness?


    In the battle at Rock Country, Divine Wood Sect gained another Core Formation Cultivator, while Nanxuan Sect, which Liu Jia Mountain considered their reliance, lost both of their two Golden Core Cultivators¨Cone dead, one fled¨Cand even their own old ancestor died under Mo Douguang¡¯s sword.


    Now, not to mention Liu Jia Mountain, even the Five Elements Sect must be in utter shock.


    In just over twenty years, the seemingly balanced strength of both parties had been reversed in an instant.


    And the key was that sword cultivation genius named Chen Guixian.


    If only they had known there was such a genius among the loose cultivators in the Southstream Market, they should have seized him and brought him back to Liu Jia Mountain at that time.


    Xu Shengbing thought back to thirty years ago when, in search of a suitable Ghost Fetus in the Womb for one of his ancestors who had turned to Ghost Cultivation, he traveled all over the Eastern Wilderness. He had passed by the Southstream Market in Yun Country and had marked a decent Loose Cultivator.


    If he had spent more time around Southstream Market back then, perhaps he would have encountered the astounding Chen Guixian.


    After all, the brilliance of a genius cannot be concealed. Xu Shengbing, in his search for Furnace materials for resurrecting the dead, had specifically cultivated the Art of Spiritual Eyes, and he was confident that had he seen Chen Guixian, he would have fully perceived the latter¡¯s extraordinary sword cultivation talent.


    It was a pity that he had been lax back then¨Cafter teaching Lu Shu cultivation techniques for half a year, he hurried off to Rain Country to find an old flame.


    If he had remained for another year or so, it would have been Liu Jia Mountain that had an extra Golden Core Cultivator by now.


    Perhaps they would have been on the offensive against Five Elements Sect by now.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    As Xu Shengbing was suffocating with heartache, some Elders of Liu Jia Mountain also walked over with looks of sadness and anger on their faces, filled with the color of humiliation.


    ¡°All go into closed-door cultivation. Hereafter, if you need to leave the mountain, do not say that you are from Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Upon hearing Xu Shengbing¡¯s words, some Elders with more impetuous characters could no longer bear it and began to criticize him for surrendering the Sect¡¯s thousand-year inheritance to others.


    ¡°Even if Liu Jia Mountain perishes, all these inheritances should be destroyed rather than allowing Divine Wood Sect to grow stronger.¡±


    Clearly, there were not a few Elders of Liu Jia Mountain who harbored such thoughts, but Xu Shengbing was the Sect Leader because he weighed pros and cons better in his actions.


    ¡°As long as Liu Jia Mountain stands, there¡¯s hope for the Sect to produce another Core Formation Cultivator. Compared to the inheritance, I find this to be much more important.¡±


    Xu Shengbing pointed at the mountain beneath them. This was one of the rare Fourth Grade Spirit Veins in the Eastern Wilderness, even if just fourth-grade lower class, it was the foundation that had sustained a continuous line of Golden Core Cultivators in Liu Jia Mountain for a thousand years.


    As long as the Spirit Vein exists, so does a future.


    If they even lost the Spirit Vein, then Liu Jia Mountain, even if they were to flee to the East Barbarians, would gradually disintegrate and become dust in history.


    ¡°Hmph, I cannot agree with your perspective¡­¡±


    An Elder in the late phase of Foundation Establishment, with a cold look in his eyes, spoke out. Under his rallying cry, nearly a quarter of the people opposed Xu Shengbing.


    ¡°Yu Changjian, you and I entered the Sect at the same time, yet you have been suppressed by me for a lifetime. You¡¯ve been holding back this grievance for over a hundred years, haven¡¯t you? Is it a coup you want now?¡±


    Xu Shengbing remained calm and collected as he watched Yu Changjian, even as most in the Sect looked at him with doubt.


    This composure caused Yu Changjian to waver, but this was the best opportunity in a hundred years to take control of Liu Jia Mountain.


    With the oppressive Nan Shi Dao dead, and with Xu Shengbing having just capitulated and shamed the Sect under Fu Zongjue¡¯s coercion, the timing, location, and support were all in his favor. If he couldn¡¯t overthrow Xu Shengbing from his position of Sect Leader now, then he deserved to fail for a lifetime.


    ¡°I respectfully ask the Sect Leader to abdicate!¡±


    After considering all the consequences, Yu Changjian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and uttered those words to Xu Shengbing.

    ¡­


    It was a month later when Chen Mobai heard about the overthrow of the Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain and the ascension of a new leader.


    Fu Zongjue, immediately after acquiring the puppet inheritance, had returned to Giant Tree Ridge, so it fell to Chen Mobai to arrange the management of territories across the lands of Rock Country, Sky Country, and Rainbow Country.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect was stretched thin, they had to cooperate for the time being with local Cultivator Families and other powers, nominally taking a leading position, but in reality, the operation of Fang Markets, development of ore resources, and so on, were all entrusted to others.


    Of course, the most precious resources like Spirit Stone Mines would definitely be kept in their own hands after driving out the Nanxuan Sect.

 Chapter 928 - Chapter 928 Chapter 511 Reaction of the Eastern Wilderness_2

    Chapter 928: Chapter 511 Reaction of the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chapter 928: Chapter 511 Reaction of the Eastern Wilderness_2 It¡¯s a shame that the most precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine has been completely depleted, but even when it was under the control of Shake Mountain, the reserves were already limited. The Divine Wood Sect mined it vindictively when they handed it over to Nanxuan Sect, so it¡¯s natural that it has become an empty mine now.


    Under the protection of Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s takeover of the three countries proceeded without any ripples.


    In Rock Country, Yue Zutao still serves as Town Guard, while in Sky Country, Zhou Wangshen is well-versed and familiar. For the newly added Rainbow Country, Chen Mobai also sent his good friend Yuan Chiye there.


    However, as the Divine Wood Sect gradually took control of the resources and Spirit Veins of the three countries, an undercurrent began to stir throughout the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley, and Snow-blowing Palace were all deeply anxious.


    Originally, the Seven Great Factions of the East Desolate had reached a delicate triangular balance after the Five Elements Sect splintered.


    But now with the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain existing in name only,


    the Golden Core Alliance, which was once one side of the triangle besides the Five Elements background, was instantly reduced to just Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.


    These two were also intimidated by the Divine Wood Sect.


    If they could understand the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, then the fall of Nanxuan Sect and Liu Jia Mountain was completely beyond their expectations.


    Setting Liu Jia Mountain aside, just the two Golden Core Cultivators of Nanxuan Sect were formidable adversaries in the Eastern Wilderness, with no one daring to claim a certain victory over them, except for Zhou Shengqing.


    These two were the elders of a Nascent Soul Major Faction and were renowned far and wide even among the adjacent territories of East Barbarians.


    Their interference to disrupt Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was also in line with the expectations of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.


    Yan Shaoyin even felt that only with Nanxuan Sect entering the Eastern Wilderness and muddying the waters did he see a chance of forming his own Nascent Soul.


    While Divine Wood Sect and Nanxuan Sect arranged their forces for a great battle in Rock Country, Yan Shaoyin had made some inferences, thinking that Fu Zongjue¡¯s survival was already the best outcome.


    Who would have known the result would be completely contrary to his expectations?


    The army of cultivators from Nanxuan Sect not only failed to reach Giant Tree Ridge but was also swept away by the newly-promoted Golden Core Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect before they could even leave Rock Country.


    ¡°So, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was intended for him.¡±


    In Back to Sky Valley, thinking back on the elixir he painstakingly refined, Yan Shaoyin couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of regret.


    But thinking about it again, if he could go back to the day Zhou Shengqing came to ask for his help, Yan Shaoyin would still nod in agreement if given another chance to choose.


    ¡°I hope my disciple will also succeed in his Core Formation.¡±


    Of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills that were made, four were successful, and Back to Sky Valley received half. One of them was already given to Yan Shaoyin¡¯s eldest disciple, who was in closed-door cultivation, adjusting himself in preparation to take it.


    With the successful example of Chen Mobai, Yan Shaoyin held high hopes for his own disciple as well.


    Hopefully, Back to Sky Valley could also produce another Golden Core Cultivator.


    ¡°Why is Zhou Shengqing¡¯s luck so good? When the sect divided, there was Fu Zongjue forming his Core, and now, when forming his Nascent Soul, there is this Chen Guixian. He might really achieve Nascent Soul Formation!¡±


    Yan Shaoyin muttered to himself, his brows involuntarily furrowing.


    If Zhou Shengqing managed to form his Nascent Soul, Yan Shaoyin would have no room to raise his head in this life. If he wanted to advance further, he might have to give up the Back to Sky Valley business and join the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    But until the last moment, he would not give up.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing definitely won¡¯t be able to form his Nascent Soul.¡±


    ¡­


    In the depths of an Ice Palace built from blocks of ice at the Snow-blowing Palace, a pure white lotus as snow bloomed in a cold pond, with a slender figure seated at the center of the flower, surrounded by chills condensing into ice, encasing her and the white lotus together.


    Two women in blue and white palace attire, beautiful in appearance, entered.


    They were none other than the Sect Leader of the Snow-blowing Palace, Zhu Jinyu, and the manager of the Outer Sect, Lan Lingping.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    Upon entering, they knelt before the white lotus, offering their respect to none other than the Golden Core Cultivator of the Snow-blowing Palace, Kong Lingling.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    A cool voice arose in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion within the two women, and they immediately began to report all the information they had gathered about the Divine Wood Sect and Chen Mobai to Kong Lingling.


    ¡°`


    ¡°This person¡¯s talent is astonishingly brilliant, and judging by the pace of their advancement, they are likely the most probable within the Eastern Wilderness to achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ among those at Core Formation.¡±


    After hearing the life story of Chen Mobai, Kong Lingling couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Such talent, I fear even those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root might seem somewhat inferior in comparison.


    ¡°Master, Master Yan from Back to Sky Valley has sent a letter.¡±


    ¡°I know, but I¡¯m at a critical point in my cultivation right now and cannot travel. Moreover, since the Divine Wood Sect executed Nanxuan Jing, even if the lifespan of Golden Wind Ancestor is limited, he will definitely make a statement in facing such an event. Let¡¯s wait for Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s reaction for now.¡±


    After synthesizing all the intelligence, Kong Lingling made the decision to wait and see how things would unfold.


    ¡°Master, before Elder Chen of the Divine Wood Sect achieved Core Formation, he and I had exchanged thoughts and enjoyed a very pleasant conversation¡­¡±


    At this moment, Lan Lingping reported on the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice. Kong Lingling also had an impression of this affair. If Zhou Shengqing were to reach ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ and the Divine Wood Sect became powerful, they could use this connection to form a good relationship with Elder Chen.


    However, with the attitude of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still unclear, Kong Lingling decided to let Lan Lingping wait and see as well.


    ¡°Right, hasn¡¯t your disciple also reached Foundation Establishment? It would be appropriate to have her represent us and offer congratulations to Elder Chen on his Core Formation. If Divine Wood Sect can¡¯t withstand the retaliation from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace afterward, then just expel her from the palace.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    This idea was largely consistent with Lan Lingping¡¯s own. However, now that Xue Ting had reached Foundation Establishment, she was no longer able to manipulate this former disciple at will, and so she needed Nascent Soul Ancestor Kong Lingling to speak.


    After leaving the ice palace, Lan Lingping passed Kong Lingling¡¯s handwritten letter to Xue Ting.


    ¡°Since it is the Ancestor¡¯s wish, I shall naturally comply,¡± Xue Ting said in a cool tone. As she turned to leave, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.


    She hadn¡¯t expected that, even after reaching Foundation Establishment, she was still being sidelined.


    In this Snow-blowing Palace, she felt no warmth at all.


    For some reason, she remembered her year spent on Little Nan Mountain.


    Although it was very brief, it was the only memory in her life where she felt warmth.


    What if Snow-blowing Palace also came under the rule of the Divine Wood Sect?


    Suddenly, this terrible thought surfaced in Xue Ting¡¯s mind.


    She immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts, selected some special spiritual products unique to Snow Country, and then took the Teleportation Array to Jian Country.


    In the White Moon Market, she expertly found her way to the Little Nan Mountain Shop, and not long after, Liu Wenbo also arrived via the Teleportation Array.


    ¡°Junior Sister Xue Ting, what a coincidence. Our Master just returned from Rock Country the day before yesterday, and the sect is currently discussing how to organize a grand Core Formation celebration for him. I didn¡¯t expect your Snow-blowing Palace to be the first to visit.¡±


    Over the years, Liu Wenbo, through dealings in Spirit Rice and Talisman Paper, had expanded the Little Nan Mountain Shop to half of the Eastern Wilderness, establishing three branches in Snow Country alone. When he went there to deliver goods on regular days, he also exchanged quite a few words with Xue Ting.


    The two of them could be considered friends.


    ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for Elder Chen¡¯s guidance back in the day, I could not have succeeded in Foundation Establishment. I¡¯ve wanted to come and express my gratitude for a long time, but since Elder Chen was in seclusion, and I was busy with sect affairs, only now do I have the opportunity to come personally.¡±


    In recent years, Xue Ting was assigned to handle various trivial matters in the Outer Sect and to cultivate Spirit Fields of Fire Spirit Rice. Her verbal skills had improved significantly, no longer as icy as when she was on Little Nan Mountain.

    ¡°Hahaha, Master will definitely be very pleased to see you¡¯ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment,¡± Liu Wenbo said, and then he took Xue Ting via the Teleportation Array to the Yuhu Market closest to Giant Tree Ridge. Thereafter, he presented her invitation to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, she¡¯s achieved Foundation Establishment? That¡¯s indeed a happy occasion,¡± Chen Mobai commented, not having much of an impression of Xue Ting. However, Zhuo Ming seemed to have a very good relationship with her. During the initial cultivation of Fire Spirit Rice in Snow Country, she encountered many technical problems, all of which she wrote to consult with, and Zhuo Ming resolved them one by one.


    ¡°Have Zhuo Ming receive her,¡± Chen Mobai nodded, then looked up at the Everlife Wood at the very center of Giant Tree Ridge after making arrangements for Xue Ting.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, come over for a visit,¡± Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice rang in his ear.

 Chapter 929 - Chapter 929 Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqings Entrustment

    Chapter 929: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Entrustment Chapter 929: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Entrustment After Chen Mobai returned to Giant Tree Ridge, he felt the constant pulsation of the Rank-4 Spirit Vein here, as if it were being devoured by an invisible black hole, ceaselessly flowing towards the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion.


    As the thick Spiritual Energy surged, there were occasional showers from the sky.


    The rain was imbued with abundant Elemental Energy, and when it fell upon the Spirit Plants, the freshly sprouted buds gradually became tenderly green and lush with vibrant life.


    This was a sign that Zhou Shengqing was absorbing the Water Essence, indicating that his Longevity Scripture had reached perfection in the eighteenth layer, and he was just one successful ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± away from advancing to the nineteenth layer.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, he felt an immense and infinite Spiritual Power enveloping the void near Zhou Shengqing¡¯s place of seclusion; judging by the magnitude of this Spiritual Power, it was already on the level of Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Brother Zhou.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood in front of the central Everlife Wood at Giant Tree Ridge and saluted Zhou Shengqing, who was seated above.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you indeed had a hard time in the great battle against the Nanxuan sect. If it weren¡¯t for your timely Core Formation and return, I would probably have had no choice but to end my seclusion now.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was at the critical moment of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± unable to move. However, as long as he had not started the process of ¡°Broken Elixir to Infant,¡± there was still room for reconsideration.


    However, among the cultivators of Eastern Wilderness, those who managed to get this far could be counted on one¡¯s fingers. Even if they were to die in a failed nascent soul attempt, they would still grit their teeth and relentlessly take this step forward.


    ¡°Without the support of the sect, I could not have reached the Core Formation realm, let alone speak of any hardship.¡±


    Chen Mobai had deep feelings for Divine Wood Sect and inquired about Zhou Shengqing¡¯s nascent soul progress during their conversation.


    ¡°The Spiritual Energy is already brimming. With but a single thought, I can commence the shattering of my Gold Core to begin the Nascent Soul Formation. But taking that step means the hope of success is slim.¡±


    ¡°I was originally worried that if I failed in Nascent Soul Formation, relying solely on Junior Brother Fu, Divine Wood Sect would hardly be able to withstand the pressure. I even left a will, instructing him to return to the Five Elements Sect with Junior Brother Mo after my passing away in meditation.¡±


    ¡°But now that you¡¯ve achieved Core Formation, even if I were to die, with the two of you, Divine Wood Sect can still stand its ground in Eastern Wilderness. I can finally let go of all distractions and wholeheartedly take this final step.¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing spoke, his tone was filled with relief, and Chen Mobai, looking up at him, couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of pride.


    After struggling for twenty-three years and under the shelter of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s arduous cultivation, he finally became a pillar of the sect.


    From now on, it was his turn to protect the sect.


    Chen Mobai was a very responsible person. He believed his achievements were greatly attributed to Divine Wood Sect, and since he had benefited from the sect¡¯s grace, he was obligated to repay it after succeeding in his cultivation.


    ¡°Rest assured, Brother Zhou, as long as I live, the legacy of Divine Wood Sect shall not end by my hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai declared decisively.


    ¡°I understand your loyalty, Junior Brother. Keep this letter.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had watched step by step as Chen Mobai cultivated to his current realm. He never doubted the latter¡¯s loyalty and even felt that though this junior brother was young, his conduct and reliability surpassed even that of Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, what is this¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai received the letter that Zhou Shengqing flicked from his sleeve, looking puzzled.


    A will?


    ¡°This is my letter of apology and repentance to Zhou Ye. If, in the future, the great armies of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace indeed come pressing down and you and Junior Brother Fu cannot resist, take the sect and this letter to seek shelter with the Five Elements Sect, and also bring my ashes back to rest beside the tomb of our master.¡±


    This was the worst-case scenario: even with Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, facing Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¨Ca Nascent Soul Major Faction¨CDivine Wood Sect, in alliance with Golden Cliff, would not have a guaranteed victory.


    Zhou Shengqing was determined to break his elixir and form his infant, which was the fiercest method of Nascent Soul Formation. Taking this step meant success or death; even if he stopped halfway, at best he would merely struggle to live a little longer.


    This was Zhou Shengqing using his dignity and life to leave an escape route for Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, with your profound abilities, you will definitely succeed in nascent soul formation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt Zhou Shengqing¡¯s heartfelt considerations and immediately spoke reassuringly.


    ¡°I have a Coagulation Infant Pill left by our master, two sets of Infant Formation Experience, and the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture you obtained from the Longevity Sect. Compared with other Golden Core Cultivators in Eastern Wilderness, my hope of Nascent Soul Formation is already quite high.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing revealed another secret.


    A Coagulation Infant Pill!?


    Chen Mobai had never heard of this elixir, but from the name alone, it was clearly a miraculous medicine to aid Nascent Soul Formation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhou Shengqing, as the direct disciple of Ancestor Hunyuan, actually held such an item.


    As Chen Mobai was pondering over the abundant resources of the Tianhe Realm, Zhou Shengqing had already laid out all his thoughts about the current situation.


    ¡°Regarding Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Junior Brother Chen, you needn¡¯t be too concerned. The Golden Wind Ancestor has not much lifespan left, and with each action he takes, he loses some years of his life.¡±


    ¡°If he really comes to Eastern Wilderness, we can use the Large Formation of Giant Tree Ridge to at least drain him of a decade or more of his lifespan, such an unprofitable deal. Even if he¡¯s willing, the elders of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace won¡¯t agree to it.¡±


    ¡°Nevertheless, since you¡¯ve slain Nanxuan Jing, for their own prestige, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace will certainly send another Golden Core Cultivator to pick a fight. When that time comes, they likely won¡¯t employ the same simple and crude methods of warfare as they do now.¡±

 Chapter 930 - Chapter 930 Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqings Entrustment_2

    Chapter 930: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Entrustment_2 Chapter 930: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Entrustment_2 ¡°But this is no big deal. If I achieve Nascent Soul Formation, however they came, that¡¯s how they¡¯ll have to roll back. If I die, then you just hand over Rainbow, Rock, and Sky Countries to the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace,¡±


    ¡°If they get greedy, it¡¯s no big deal to give them Lei, Yun, and Rain Countries as well. Just keeping Jian Country and Giant Tree Ridge will do. Among you disciples, although Yin Qingmei and Hong He¡¯s aptitude is not as good as yours, they also have a good chance at Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°Once you all attain Core Formation, Golden Wind Ancestor will be dead of old age too, then we can uproot Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s influence in the Eastern Wilderness one by one, and take back all the territories snatched from our sect,¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were incisive.


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai could not help but admire it; the best strategy he had come up with in his studies of governance and warfare at Repairing Heaven Institute to deal with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was just this.


    ¡°I have taken note of your words, senior brother,¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, I won¡¯t be able to attend your Nascent Soul Formation ceremony, so consider this gift as my congratulations,¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was saying his goodbyes and preparing to leave, Zhou Shengqing tossed a wooden box down again. The former caught it solemnly and thanked him respectfully.


    After returning to his own Everlife Wood Daoist venue.


    Chen Mobai immediately opened the wooden box. A gift from a pre-Nascent Soul Formation Zhou Shengqing was sure to be an ace up his sleeve, perhaps even one of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s most precious treasures.


    ¡°This¡­ indeed is a precious treasure¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the four booklets inside the wooden box and couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly.


    They were Zhou Shengqing¡¯s compilations of Rank-1 to Rank-4 Talisman Maker inheritances, two sets of Core Formation Insights, and all of his own understandings of the Longevity Scripture and ruminations about the brink of Nascent Soul Formation.


    For the Divine Wood Sect, and even the entire Eastern Wilderness, these were invaluable.


    If Yan Shaoyin could take these Core Formation Insights to Heaven Valley for an exchange, he would probably be tempted.


    But for Chen Mobai, these were as tasteless as chicken ribs.


    He could obtain as many Core Formation Insights as he wanted from the Immortal Gate.


    There¡¯s no need to mention the legacy of Talisman Maker; at Immortal Gate, they even have Rank-5 inheritances.


    Only the last booklet had any use for Chen Mobai.


    After all, the Longevity Scripture could be called the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s well-deserved sect-defining cultivation technique, and it was combined and revised by Zhou Shengqing himself after his personal cultivation, making it the Wood Attribute cultivation technique most suitable for current practice.


    Even though the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s body had been converted by the Dual-phase Technique, if he wanted to continue cultivating the Longevity Dao Body, he still had to combine it with the Longevity Scripture.


    Even if he possibly had a chance in the future, he might need to find a way to re-cultivate the Longevity Scripture.


    Because only the combination of Longevity Spiritual Power and the Longevity Dao Body could cultivate the Longevity Technique, one of the Longevity Sect¡¯s twenty-four Grand Spells, which even the Ascension Superpower, True Lord Yuan, had struggled to master as a life-extending secret technique.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai read through the Longevity Scripture revised by Zhou Shengqing.


    It seemed to be the original scripture taught to Zhou Shengqing by Ancestor Hunyuan, with a preface on top.


    It stated that after Ancestor Hunyuan had received the Dao Fruit inheritance from True Lord Yuan, although he had comprehended all the essence of the Primordial Dao Fruit, he had to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Power in accordance with the sequence of the generation and transformation of the Five Elements, to revolve and evolve the Primordial True Qi anew.


    Ancestor Hunyuan originally cultivated the Earth Wuxu True Method and subsequently gathered the cultivation techniques of the other four elements. Among them, the Wood-based Longevity Scripture was what he found according to the inheritance of True Lord Yuan in Giant Tree Ridge.


    The Longevity Scripture, after True Lord Yuan personally cultivated the Longevity Technique and found the ancient Grand Spell too obscure and difficult, was split by him using his own cultivation and wisdom, providing simplified steps for beginners.


    After Ancestor Hunyuan found it within Giant Tree Ridge and cultivated it to Perfect Core Formation, he then took Zhou Shengqing as a disciple and passed it down.


    ¡°Longevity Technique is indeed the foundational method of the Ancient Changsheng (Life Prolonging) Teachings; it is said that upon mastery, one could receive teachings from the Heavenly Sovereign himself. If my disciple ever succeeds in Nascent Soul Formation in the future, they could try to merge the Longevity Scripture with the Longevity Dao Body and venture into the secret realm to seek traces of the Heavenly Sovereign.¡±


    These were the last words left by Ancestor Hunyuan in his preface, which Chen Mobai thought of when he remembered the look of excitement on Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face as he offered up the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture¨Cthe knowledge undoubtedly came from here.


    But this Heavenly Sovereign was no good thing!


    Chen Mobai thought of his encounter before the Great Dao Tree and narrowed his eyes.


    Initially, the Great Dao Tree had no means to resist the Purple Electric Sword, and now that he had formed his golden core and could control the sword even more potent, he wondered if it would be feasible to explore the most mysterious areas within the Divine Tree Secret Realm once again?


    But upon closer consideration, Chen Mobai felt it was better not to be arrogantly self-confident.


    He was already the Ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect, reigning over the territories of seven countries in the Eastern Wilderness; in the future, resources like Spirit Stones and the like would flow continually into his hands. If he cultivated methodically with these resources and combined with the knowledge heritage from the Immortal Gate that surpassed this realm in several dimensions, at the very least, he should reach Perfect Core Formation and embody the Nine Suns constitution.


    Having embarked on the Broad Avenue, there was no need to risk everything for a potential shortcut.


    With a clear path in mind, Chen Mobai continued reading.


    The Longevity Scripture, revised by Zhou Shengqing, was indeed more sophisticated and detailed than the version Chen Mobai had obtained from the Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion.


    In addition to adding techniques like the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue and the Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, there were also powerful spells and secret techniques from the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Zhou Shengqing even added conjectures for the twenty-first layer, enabling the cultivation technique to extend to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.


    Of course, whether it could be successfully cultivated remained to be verified.


    Chen Mobai hoped that Zhou Shengqing himself would be the one to verify this.


    After finishing reading, Chen Mobai wished him well one more time and then reviewed the Talisman Making inheritance for ranks one to four and both sets of Infant Formation Experience as well.


    Although the content was somewhat rough, some of it still caught his eye. He committed these insights to memory and then placed everything back into the wooden box, which he stowed away in his storage bag.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, inheritances above Rank-3 were personally guarded by Golden Core Cultivators.


    Zhou Shengqing had also given a set of these to Fu Zongjue before and, together with the Red Flame Sword Jue and Core Formation Insights previously taught to Chen Mobai, it could be said that he had opened up all the Sect¡¯s foundations to him.


    ¡°If the Sect falls one day, these could be auctioned off.¡±


    After storing the wooden box, Chen Mobai suddenly entertained a rebellious thought but then shook his head.


    Though coming from the Immortal Gate and never hoarding his knowledge, he still understood that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since Zhou Shengqing had entrusted these matters to him, he was obliged to preserve them until one day when Yin Qingmei or someone from the Hong River accomplished their Core Formation, he could pass on the teachings, fulfilling his duty to impart wisdom.


    However, his thought wasn¡¯t wrong¨Cthese items, especially the two sets of Core Formation Insights, would cause all the Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness to fight over them.


    He just hoped that the Divine Wood Sect would never have a day when it needed to sell these items.

    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai took out the original Red Flame Sword Jue that Zhou Shengqing had given him.


    Even though he formed his core through the Pure Yang Scroll, in the Tianhe Realm, he still needed to masquerade as having a foundation in the Red Flame Sword Jue, which was rumored to have some connections with the Sun Bathing Sea.


    It was precisely due to this that Ancestor Hunyuan and the Baiwu Ancestor from the Sun Bathing Sea had their fateful encounter; the latter mistook the former for having stolen their Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. After Baiwu Ancestor ended up on the losing end of a fight, the misunderstanding was cleared, and the two became good friends despite the age difference.


    The founder of the Sun Bathing Sea also came from a large faction in the East Land. Thousands of years ago, it was said to be a Holy Land with a Divinity Transformation stage expert at its helm by the name of Fen Tianjing Di.


    Unfortunately, during a great catastrophe, the Divinity Transformation expert fell, and the Holy Land shattered into pieces. A group of disciples who fled the calamity came to the Land of Ruins and founded the Sun Bathing Sea.

 Chapter 931 - Chapter 931 Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink

    Chapter 931: Chapter 513: Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink Chapter 931: Chapter 513: Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink This ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± is the cultivation technique of Fen Tianjing Di.


    However, after the demise of Fen Tianjing Di¡¯s Divinity Transformation, the sect¡¯s core cultivation book, ¡°Fen Tianjing Shi,¡± was also contested and fragmented. The ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± is a technique derived from the remnants of the ¡°Fen Tianjing Shi.¡±


    It consists of eighteen layers, with the highest level reaching Perfect Core Formation.


    It also includes the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman,¡± ¡°Purple Fire Sword Talisman,¡± ¡°Cyan Sunfire Sword Talisman,¡± ¡°Green Flames Sword Talisman,¡± ¡°Golden Flame Sword Talisman,¡± and ¡°Great Sun Sword Talisman¡± from the first to fourth rank, a total of six types of talisman papers.


    After the Sword Sha in the Sword Dao Realm, it also records two realms: Sword Practicing into Marrow and Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    Among these, Sword Practicing into Marrow is mastering the power of Sword Sha to perfection, smoothly and as one desires. Only then can one condense the overwhelmingly high-temperature power of Sword Sha into a single Sword Pill.


    Strictly speaking, it¡¯s not considered a realm of Sword Dao, but a signifier of the complete mastery of Sword Sha.


    Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound is what counts as a Sword Dao Realm, and even Mo Douguang has yet to master it.


    After reading the introduction, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it to heart anymore.


    He was sure he couldn¡¯t master it.


    On the contrary, for Sword Practicing into Marrow, he exhaled a breath of Green Flames Sword Sha, and with a thought guided by his Divine Sense, instantly condensed it into a thumb-sized, flame-like flowing Sword Pill.


    He had already completed this step at the peak of Foundation Establishment, relying on his Fire Spirit Body.


    What he considered a matter of course turned out to be a realm only present in the Core Formation chapter of the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    This Fire Spirit Body is more useful than he had imagined!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction. He had thought that his talent was quite ordinary when he had ¡°Heard the Path Foundation Establishment,¡± but while it wasn¡¯t very useful for the Pure Yang Scroll, it was adding fuel to the fire for the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Normally, one would only be able to train and control the Sword Sha and Sword Pill after reaching Core Formation, but with a Fire Spirit Body, he had already taken control of it during his Foundation Establishment, dominating the Immortal Gates and the Eastern Wilderness, undefeated in Foundation Establishment.


    After reading the part about Sword Dao in the Red Flame Sword Jue, Chen Mobai focused his attention on the talismans.


    The book in his hand was the original text, with annotations by Ancestor Hunyuan, and also the insights and comments of Zhou Shengqing, a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master.


    As Chen Mobai read, he felt somewhat nervous, knowing that he wasn¡¯t a genius, and his achievements relied solely on the resources he had accumulated.


    While the way of talismans was the Cultivation Art he had spent the most effort on, his actual achievements were quite average. He feared that, apart from Sword Dao, he might not be able to comprehend these Sword Talismans either.


    After going through it once, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression began to relax.


    This isn¡¯t so hard, after all!


    He took out the luxurious talisman-drawing tools provided by the Immortal Gate, grabbed a precious Rank-3 Talisman Paper, and began to draw.


    Although his talent in talismans was merely passable, his foundation from the Immortal Gate was solid, and coupled with the fire-related nature of the talisman, it seemed to resonate with his Fire Spirit Body and Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, allowing him to grasp all the essentials and insights after just one reading.


    However, understanding is one thing; actually drawing the talisman would still require time and practice.


    Chen Mobai naturally failed on his first attempt at creating the Golden Flame Sword Talisman.


    But he had gained some insight and quickly took out another Rank-3 Talisman Paper and began to draw again.


    This time he quickly passed the point of previous failure but got stuck at another difficulty later on.


    Looking at the talisman paper that had burned to ashes, he took out the original Red Flame Sword Jue to read it again carefully and indeed discovered some ambiguities in the text.


    This is a specialty of the Eastern Wilderness, where most of the inheritances of Cultivation Arts are not written clearly and straightforwardly. Instead, they try to beat around the bush, ensuring that without a teacher¡¯s guidance, even if you have the Cultivation Art, you can¡¯t learn it easily.


    Chen Mobai shook his head, but there was nothing he could do.


    He then took out the Golden Flame Sword Talisman that came as a gift alongside the Red Flame Sword Jue from Zhou Shengqing. This Talisman was personally refined by Ancestor Hunyuan, using Rank-3 Golden Sun Tree Leaves as the base for the Talisman Paper, soaked in a special medicinal juice and sun-dried in the shade.


    Initially, Chen Mobai thought that he could substitute the Rank-3 Talisman Paper from the Immortal Gate, but after a careful examination of the Red Flame Sword Jue, he realized that until he had fully mastered the Golden Flame Sword Talisman, it would be better to follow the instructions.


    In addition to the Golden Sun Spirit Tree leaf Talisman Paper, there was a Rank-3 Talisman Ink called Red Flame Gold Ink.


    Fortunately, although these materials were all of Rank-3, only the most critical steps required the hand of a Core Formation Cultivator, and the rest of the processes such as preparing the materials and mixing the medicinal and ink solutions could be done by disciples.


    As the current Elder of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai immediately summoned the Town Guard of the Reward Virtue Hall, who managed the sect¡¯s treasury.

    When Luo Xue¡¯er, the Hall Master, received the message from the newly advanced Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s Heavenly Communication Device, she wondered if she had ever shown Chen Mobai any disdain during her leadership.


    After confirming that she hadn¡¯t, she went to the Longevity Wood Dojo feeling a bit nervous.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I greet you!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s no need for formality, Hall Master Luo. When I was at the Reward Virtue Hall, I owed you much for your care. If not for your guidance, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to take up the role of Town Guard for Jian Country.¡±


    Chen Mobai had a fairly good impression of Luo Xue¡¯er, probably because when she took office, Chen Mobai was clearly a direct disciple of the Sect Leader, and they had always respected each other.

 Chapter 932 - Chapter 932 Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Ink_2

    Chapter 932: Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Ink_2 Chapter 932: Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Ink_2 ¡°I am merely acting as the hall master,¡± said Yin Qingmei. ¡°After you, Elder Chen, have established your core, you will automatically become the master of our Reward Virtue Hall. From now on, you may call me ¡®Niece-in-Discipline¡¯ or just ¡®Xue¡¯er¡¯.¡±


    Although Divine Wood Sect had no written rule, Zhou Shengqing was the master of Shenmu Hall, and Fu Zongjue was the master of Penalty Evil Hall. Even before Meng Hong attempted core formation, preparations were being made for him to take over the Reward Virtue Hall.


    However, because Meng Hong¡¯s attempt failed, the plans were put on hold. Luo Xue¡¯er had acted steadily in the subsequent decade and ensured logistics were without faults during the two wars, earning her merit without mistakes. It was only natural that she came to control Reward Virtue Hall.


    Even though she was referred to by everyone in the sect as the master of Reward Virtue Hall, she remained very clear about her position.


    Upon hearing the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s core formation, she proposed at the most recent sect meeting that the Reward Virtue Hall had long lacked senior leadership guidance. The staff, including herself, were overly cautious in their duties and urgently needed Elder Chen to preside as the hall master of Reward Virtue Hall.


    This would also fulfill the achievement of having all three hall masters in Divine Wood Sect to be Golden Core Cultivators.


    Her proposal was naturally passed unanimously, but it¡¯s not just about the agreement of people like Chu Zuoshu, it depends on whether Elder Chen is willing or not.


    However, Chen Mobai had only returned two days ago, just met Zhou Shengqing, and was in retreat pondering over the Red Flame Sword Jue, so Chu Zuoshu hadn¡¯t had the chance to come and consult him yet.


    Instead, it was Luo Xue¡¯er who was in luck to be summoned by Chen Mobai, getting to meet the leader ahead of time.


    ¡°The master of the Reward Virtue Hall, huh? That works.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and without much hesitation, he nodded in agreement.


    He had once, long ago when he first joined Divine Wood Sect, wondered if he would one day become the sect leader.


    More than twenty years passed and unexpectedly, he had skipped the role of sect leader and directly become an elder of the sect.


    ¡°Does the Reward Virtue Hall have any stock of Golden Sun Talisman Paper and Red Flame Gold Ink?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget the matter at hand and asked Luo Xue¡¯er about the spirit materials needed to refine the Golden Flame Sword Talisman.


    ¡°Elder Chen, there are still three hundred and sixty-seven pieces of Golden Sun Talisman Paper in stock, but unfortunately we have no Red Flame Gold Ink.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er spoke honestly, with a tinge of nervousness in her eyes. This was the first task assigned by the leader, and she hadn¡¯t managed to fulfill it satisfactorily. She wondered what punishment she might face.


    ¡°Oh, why are there so many talisman papers but not a single piece of talisman ink?¡±


    Chen Mobai was curious. The Rank-3 talisman paper and ink ought to be complementary, right?


    ¡°In our sect, Zhou Laozu is a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master, and the heads and deputy heads of the Talisman Making Department are Rank-3 Talisman Masters. However, they all practice the Longevity Scripture and specialize in wood attribute talismans. Hence, the sect has always stocked Qinghua Spirit Ink. Red Flame Gold Ink was only prepared once by Zhou Laozu himself, and that was thirty years ago. I believe it has all been used up by now,¡± explained Luo Xue¡¯er.


    After hearing Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai had a moment of realization.


    It was because there were no Rank-3 Talisman Masters in the sect who practiced the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Aside from him, the most proficient person in this sword technique within Divine Wood Sect was the head of the Sword Training Department, Xie Yuntian. However, he was focused on cultivating his Sword Dao Realm. He had barely managed to master the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and was only limited to using talismans.


    ¡°Put up a task in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion under my name, to collect the various spirit materials required for the Red Flame Gold Ink. Deduct the Contribution Points directly from my account. If it¡¯s not enough, let me know, and I¡¯ll personally supplement it with Spirit Stones.¡±


    The price of Rank-3 spirit materials was exceptionally high in the Eastern Wilderness.


    And Chen Mobai planned to purchase these ingredients for the long term, as he was now a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the sect, practically untouchable. Whether he took the raw materials to the Immortal Gate¡¯s factories for processing or bought equipment to set up his own workshop in the Eastern Wilderness, he could cover it all.


    ¡°Elder, you worry too much. Your account currently has over a million sect Contribution Points. Even if you bought all the spirit materials in Giant Tree Ridge needed to refine the Red Flame Gold Ink, it would still be more than enough.¡±


    ¡°Eh? Why is that?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled upon hearing Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s comment. He didn¡¯t remember having such an extensive amount of contribution.


    Could it be a welfare provision for Golden Core Cultivators provided by the sect?


    ¡°Elder, have you forgotten? When you handed over the Spirit Rice to the sect, you had an agreement with the sect leader.¡±


    Reminded by Luo Xue¡¯er, Chen Mobai suddenly recalled.


    The sect¡¯s Spirit Rice needed to be purchased at ten times its value in contribution points, but initially, due to the large quantity provided by Chen Mobai, an agreement was made with the sect to only take a tenth, with the remaining nine-tenths withheld by the sect until after his core formation.


    Upon hearing about the situation in the Rock Country, Chu Zuoshu, without waiting for Chen Mobai to return, added this portion directly to his account.


    Besides these, since Chen Mobai had slain Nanxuan Jing, an enemy golden core cultivator in the Rock Country and stood out as the most meritorious, Chu Zuoshu suggested an additional reward of one million sect contribution points.


    Of course, Chu Zuoshu, as the sect leader, didn¡¯t have the authority to grant such a large reward. He could at most make decisions involving up to one hundred thousand points, while an expenditure of a million required a meeting approval from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, followed by a report to the nascent soul ancestors.


    This process was naturally passed unanimously. The heads of the Divine Wood Sect Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were savvy individuals¨Cwho would dare to block Elder Chen?


    After Fu Zongjue returned, he saw the proposal made by Chu Zuoshu and didn¡¯t even blink, immediately approving it.


    So, unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, his sect contribution points had already broken through a million!


    He became the richest man in the sect, second only to the two ancestors.


    This was indeed the treatment a golden core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect should have. Chen Mobai knew well that the sect was actually indebted to Zhou Shengqing.


    After all, every action taken by a golden core cultivator on behalf of the sect is a great contribution, starting at a hundred thousand points. Accumulated over the years, the sect would eventually be in debt.


    [With this calculation, the Purple Electric Sword really came cheap.]


    After listening to Luo Xue¡¯er explain the sect¡¯s compensation for each action made by golden core cultivators, Chen Mobai compared it with the rewards he had received and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    This time, in the Rock Country, the Purple Electric Sword made a move and, having absorbed enough Thunder Essence, generously waived the spirit stones.


    After Luo Xue¡¯er left, Chu Zuoshu, who received the news, immediately rushed over.


    ¡°I greet Elder Chen!¡±


    ¡°Between you and me, brothers in arms, such formalities are unnecessary.¡±


    Chen Mobai personally got up to help Chu Zuoshu to his feet, but the latter was somewhat flustered.


    In the Tianhe Realm, one¡¯s seniority was always determined by one¡¯s cultivation realm.


    And the difference between core formation and foundation establishment was like that between heaven and earth.


    Chu Zuoshu was acutely aware of the significance of the golden core realm and understood that the war with the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country was a matter of the sect¡¯s survival, so he held Chen Mobai, who had slain Nanxuan Jing, in the highest respect.


    ¡°You are about the right age. I heard from Fu Shixiong that you already received the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. When do you plan to attempt core formation?¡±


    When Chen Mobai returned, he first met with Fu Zongjue and learned about this matter from him.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s successful core formation had greatly boosted morale, so Fu Zongjue was thinking about whether the sect could produce another golden core cultivator.


    Chu Zuoshu had been born and raised in the Divine Wood Sect, facing life and death with it, following it all the way from the Five Elements Sect era to now. Aside from the recent war with the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country, he had been leading in all other matters while at the peak of foundation establishment, in the absence of golden core cultivators.


    In the twenty years as the sect leader, not only did the sect¡¯s territory expand, but talented disciples such as Chen Mobai, Yin Qingmei, and Hong He also grew rapidly, making significant contributions.


    Granting him the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was also a well-deserved reward.


    ¡°I was just about to seek Elder Chen¡¯s insights on the intricacies of core formation.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Fu Zongjue said with excitement.


    In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators always prioritized the pursuit of breaking through realms.


    Compared to that, all desires like sect leader positions, beauty, and wine were considered distractions, demons of the heart, to be struck down with a sword.


    So, with the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill in hand and Chen Mobai as a successful example, Chu Zuoshu was already looking for someone to succeed him as sect leader, preparing to go into seclusion for core formation.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Hong He has also returned. Call him and Yin Qingmei over, and I will explain the key points of core formation to all of you together.¡±

 Chapter 933 - Chapter 933 Chapter 514 Secret Technique

    Chapter 933: Chapter 514 Secret Technique Chapter 933: Chapter 514 Secret Technique Chen Mobai had long since completed his ten-year task of guarding Rain Country, but afterwards, he did not choose to return to the sect and instead undertook the task of guarding Cloud Dream Marsh.


    Apart from him, E Yun did the same.


    Because Cloud Dream Marsh was rich in resources, with many areas yet to be developed, with their cultivation level, controlling a Fang Market there made it easier to obtain cultivation resources than at the sect.


    Many Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect who still aspired to reach Core Formation took on the task of guarding Cloud Dream Marsh every so often.


    Typically, they would guard for ten years, return to the sect to cultivate for ten years, and the cycle would continue¡­


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s previous peerless direct disciple of the sect, Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was highly regarded by everyone in the Divine Wood Sect.


    His personality, completely different from Chen Mobai¡¯s steady growth, preferred to put pressure on himself and continuously forced himself to break through realms and improve.


    During the minor Foundation Establishment gathering initiated by Yin Qingmei, Hong He confidently sparred with Chen Mobai, only to be defeated without withstanding a single move under the Sword Sha.


    Although this was a blow to Hong He, it paradoxically ignited his fighting spirit, making him even more diligent in his cultivation over the next ten-plus years, fighting against demonic beasts and enhancing his cultivation level while also honing his magic duel techniques.


    With his own efforts, plus the abundant resources at Cloud Dream Marsh, Hong He finally felt his bottleneck loosen recently.


    Without any hesitation, he immediately consumed a precious elixir he had painstakingly refined and wholeheartedly broke through, finally advancing to the late phase of Foundation Establishment after one year, and even mastered a Rank-3 spell.


    Following his breakthrough, Hong He felt as if the sky was vast and the mountains and rivers long; everywhere he looked, every grass and tree was filled with vitality.


    Just as he couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily, preparing to return to the sect to rechallenge Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha, a piece of shocking news changed his expression dramatically.


    What? The sect and Nanxuan Sect have gone to war in Rock Country?


    Without the care of Zhou Laozu, the Divine Wood Sect was surely no match for Nanxuan Sect, and they also had to guard against Liu Jia Mountain, which had been watching covetously for some time.


    Upon hearing this news, Hong He instantly analyzed the situation between both sides, and just as he was preparing to take the Teleportation Array to Rock Country to aid his sect, the Fang Market director Wei Chunfu reported to him with a relaxed expression that the war was already over.


    ¡°It¡¯s over? Did we lose?¡±


    Hong He had considered all the powers in the Eastern Wilderness and felt the sect¡¯s chances of victory were less than twenty percent. However, upon seeing Wei Chunfu¡¯s easygoing expression, he felt something was amiss.


    ¡°We won. Nanxuan Sect¡¯s headquarters at Baose Mountain Array has been breached by our sect, the Golden Core Cultivator Nanxuan Jing was killed by our sect¡¯s Elder Chen on the battlefield, and Golden Cliff¡¯s Gui Xian slew Nanxuan sect¡¯s Elder South Teacher Dao with his sword. Only Zhao Xuankang managed to escape.¡±


    ¡°Elder Chen? Is he an external ally invited from outside the Barren by the two elderly ancestors?¡±


    Hong He asked in surprise, as there were no Golden Core Cultivators surnamed Chen in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°It¡¯s Elder Gui Xian, Chen Guixian. He had left Giant Tree Ridge to find a secluded place for Core Formation and succeeded just in time for the great battle between our sect and Nanxuan sect.¡±


    ¡°Nanxuan Jing, thinking highly of his own cultivation level, was unaware that Elder Chen was a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius with talent even greater than Elder Mo. After achieving Core Formation, his Sword Dao Realm reached an unfathomable level.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Elder Chen conquered Tribulation Thunder with his sword, with one sword summoning divine punishment and two swords defeating the enemy. Finally, with a single breath, he exhibited the profound Sword Practicing into Marrow, effortlessly beheading Nanxuan Jing and his unparalleled heroism was something to long for just thinking about it.¡±


    Having heard Wei Chunfu¡¯s words, Hong He stood there dumbfounded for a long time without speaking.


    He¡¯s achieved Core Formation!?


    And I have just reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment!


    Thinking back to when he emerged from seclusion and wanted to ask Chen Mobai about the Sword Sha using his Rank-3 Bi Bo Condensed Light, Hong He felt his cheeks grow slightly warm.


    Fortunately, at that time he had only thought about it in his mind and had not yet spoken out to pressure himself.


    Hong He liked having pressure, but challenging Core Formation as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner wasn¡¯t pressure, it was madness.


    How could he cultivate so quickly?


    After regaining his composure, Hong He was shocked to learn that Chen Mobai had progressed from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation in just over twenty years.


    Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, Hong He had had a fortunate encounter, which is why he could cultivate nearly as fast as someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and make rapid progress.


    And in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had gained yet another divine opportunity.


    Only with these could he have advanced swiftly after Foundation Establishment and cultivated to the late phase in just thirty years.


    Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, didn¡¯t cultivate as fast as him.


    It was precisely because of this that he felt confident he could chase after Chen Mobai and even surpass him.


    But now, he was being told that the very target he wanted to chase had achieved Core Formation!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This¡­ seems beyond reach!


    Although Hong He had great confidence in himself, he still held awe for the major milestone of Core Formation, and even with his rich opportunities, he wasn¡¯t completely certain of success.


    And yet, Chen Mobai had succeeded on his first try after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion!?


    Hong He thought deeply, considering Elder Chen¡¯s identity as a Sword Cultivator, and the environment before and after Core Formation, and felt he had vaguely guessed some ¡°truths.¡±


    It must have been under the immense pressure from Nanxuan Sect, with the strong sense of responsibility to carry the sect¡¯s banner, coupled with an indomitable Sword Dao will and the firm belief of success or death, that Elder Chen took the step to Core Formation.

 Chapter 934 - Chapter 934 Chapter 514 Secret Technique_2

    Chapter 934: Chapter 514 Secret Technique_2 Chapter 934: Chapter 514 Secret Technique_2 The thought brought Hong He to admire someone else for the first time in his life.


    The conditions under which Elder Chen had undergone Core Formation could be described as being under the watchful eyes of wolves¨Che had to leave the Sect to avoid notice, yet faced the immense pressure of not failing. If it were any other cultivator, just the weight of that pressure alone might have created a Heart Demon, likely resulting in the dispersal of their Spiritual Power and death before they could even trigger the Heavenly Tribulation.


    But Elder Chen succeeded!


    Hong He, who always liked to put pressure on himself, felt inferior to someone for the first time.


    You see, Hong He originally looked down on Chen Mobai to some extent because he thought that since the latter had mastered the Sword Sha and had become an unrivaled Foundation Establishment expert, he should not be cultivating every day within the Sect, almost a disservice to his exceptional swordsmanship talent.


    Now, however, Hong He understood.


    He was too shallow.


    Fighting demonic beasts, adventuring in Yun Meng Ze, even battling life and death against Rogue Cultivators, Loose Cultivators, and Devil Cultivators¨Call these were nothing but superficial pressures of physical life and death.


    Only those who dare undertake the survival and protection of the Sect¡¯s legacy are truly courageous.


    The more Hong He analyzed Elder Chen, the shallower he felt himself to be.


    He suddenly felt that he could no longer hide in Yun Meng Ze but should instead learn from Elder Chen and shoulder the future of the Sect during his Foundation Establishment.


    Therefore, Hong He immediately applied to the Sect to end his duty in Yun Meng Ze and, after taking the Teleportation Array through several Fang Markets, returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Little did he know that upon his return, he would receive an immense surprise.


    Elder Chen actually wanted to see him, and not just him, but also Yin Qingmei.


    As both were disciples who¡¯d been initiated by Fu Zongjue, and their Cave Dwellings were on adjacent mountains, the summons naturally led them to report first to Fu Zongjue.


    Fu Zongjue, who was busy comprehending the Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain, used the Heavenly Communication Device to contact Chen Mobai after hearing from his two disciples and learned that it was to impart Core Formation Insights, which made him slightly doubtful.


    ¡°Junior brother, they have not yet reached Foundation Establishment Completion, isn¡¯t it too early?¡±


    ¡°Core Formation, like Foundation Establishment, involves the transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. If we wait until Foundation Establishment Completion to rush it, it will already be too late. If our Sect can have more Golden Core Cultivators, we will grow stronger, and external enemies would not dare invade. I will first share my summarized insights with them, even if it just increases their chances by ten percent. Over a hundred years and several generations of disciples, who knows, we might gain another junior brother or sister.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother has a far-reaching vision and broad mindset, I am not his equal. I will trouble you to take care of my two disciples.¡±


    After hearing this, Fu Zongjue also felt that in comparison, Chen Mobai had a much broader vision, while his own thinking remained trapped in the ancient notion that high-rank inheritances should not be easily imparted, and if they were to be taught, it would only be on a one-on-one basis.


    Imparting the Core Formation Insights to Chu Zuoshu had been decided a long time ago, but to give them to Hong He and Yin Qingmei, by reason, would require informing Zhou Shengqing.


    But Zhou Shengqing was currently averse to any disturbances, so it was appropriate for Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue to just agree between themselves.


    Hong He and Yin Qingmei were Fu Zongjue¡¯s disciples, and he had no reason to disagree.


    After ending the Heavenly Communication Device call, Fu Zongjue informed them about Elder Chen¡¯s summons.


    Upon hearing the words ¡°Core Formation Insights,¡± both Hong He and Yin Qingmei¡¯s breaths became rapid, their faces flushed, and their eyes filled with excitement.


    The next day.


    Hong He, who normally didn¡¯t pay much attention to his appearance, took the rare initiative to tidy up his attire, shaving off the beard he had grown over the years, and donning what he believed to be his most appropriate clothes.


    He thought he had taken quite a bit of time, only to find out that Yin Qingmei had taken even longer.


    God knows what she was doing; she only just barely appeared at the time of the summons.


    ¡°Elder Chen is a devoted cultivator of the Sword, focused on bitter cultivation¨Cwhat use is your rouge and powder to him?¡±


    Hong He himself was a bitter cultivator, and seeing Yin Qingmei, who had put on delicate makeup, he couldn¡¯t help but snort coldly, and headed towards the Longevity Wood Dojo where Chen Mobai was located.


    ¡°This is the most basic etiquette and also a sign of respect for Elder Chen. Didn¡¯t you also shave your beard?¡±


    Although Yin Qingmei and Hong He were nominally siblings, their relationship was average at best, as the latter had always been outside the Sect after his Foundation Establishment, returning only once every few years.


    As for Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, she was the treasure of the Sect, and she hadn¡¯t been allowed to leave even a step during the two major battles.


    If it were not for having Fu Zongjue as their master, the two probably wouldn¡¯t even have anything to discuss.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late. When the Elder summons you, you should arrive at least an hour earlier!¡±


    By the time they reached the Longevity Wood Dojo, Chu Zuoshu was already waiting there, scolding the two as soon as he, as the Sect Leader, saw them.


    Hong He frowned slightly and glared at Yin Qingmei beside him, who lowered her head and took the scolding obediently.


    ¡°Sect Leader, it seems that it¡¯s the time for Elder Chen to summon us.¡±


    As he was scolding, and not showing any signs of stopping, Hong He immediately reminded him.


    Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, he only held the Nascent Soul Ancestors in awe, but he felt that with his own talents, he was bound to surpass any other Foundation Establishment Practitioner, including the Sect Leader.


    Therefore, seeing that there was a possibility of delaying his chance to learn Core Formation Insights, Hong He spoke up to interrupt.


    ¡°Elder Chen¡¯s disciples have arrived, we will put our matters aside for now.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was actually just looking for an excuse to pass the time, and once Hong He mentioned it, he no longer scolded Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Elder Chen¡¯s disciples? Is it Liu Shidi, or the two Shimeis, Zhuo and Luo?¡±


    Although Hong He was arrogant, he knew about the three people from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, who all reached Foundation Establishment, since they were the disciples of his former rivals.


    ¡°It¡¯s Liu and Zhuo. Luo Shimei had an incident a few years ago and has gone missing, didn¡¯t you know?¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Hong He truly didn¡¯t know, as previously, he only cared about Chen Mobai, and after Luo Yixuan¡¯s disappearance, Chen Mobai chose to handle it quietly to avoid attracting unwanted attention.


    After hearing what Chu Zuoshu said, Hong He frowned slightly.


    He kept this matter in mind, thinking that if he had the chance in the future, he would activate his network to see if he could find this Luo Shimei.


    At that moment, a yellow Escaping Light descended, revealing a woman dressed like a village wife, with a gentle demeanour.


    ¡°Zhuo Shimei, does Elder Chen have time now?¡±


    Upon seeing Zhuo Ming, Chu Zuoshu couldn¡¯t help but ask politely.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s exactly what my master sent me to do, to take you up.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, these recent years, had been Farming at Xiao Nanshan, always with a hoe and a fruit basket at her side, and without Luo Yixuan, who didn¡¯t care much for her own looks, to dress her up, Zhuo Ming indeed looked more and more like a village wife.


    While she spoke, a yellow spiritual light surged out, enveloping Chu Zuoshu and the others, and took them towards the largest branch of the Longevity Wood.


    Soon, the four of them had arrived at the wooden house door atop the branch.


    The door was wide open, revealing a young man inside wearing a red-black long robe, with a handsome face.


    And in front of him was a person who greatly surprised them, a member of the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment, a delicate young girl.


    ¡°Gu Yan Shimei, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here.¡±


    As Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu was familiar with every Foundation Establishment Practitioner within the sect and knew that she was recently Foundation Established.


    She was extremely lucky in obtaining a pouch of Longevity Tree Sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and had traded it with Elder Chen for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    What brought her here today?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Could it be that after Elder Chen¡¯s Core Formation, she felt those hundred thousand Spirit Stones were too hot to handle?


    ¡°Shi Niece Gu Yan managed to obtain a secret technique in the Divine Tree Secret Realm that is very useful to me, and today Ming¡¯er specially brought her here to talk about this matter,¡± Chen Mobai said with a gentle smile, and at this time Gu Yan also stood up to take her leave.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you can take Shi Niece Gu Yan down.¡±


    Chen Mobai continued with a gentle smile, and Gu Yan stood up to take her leave again.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you can take Shi Niece Gu Yan down.¡±

 Chapter 935 - Chapter 935 Chapter 515 Guidance

    Chapter 935: Chapter 515 Guidance Chapter 935: Chapter 515 Guidance ¡°Stretch out your hand and pass me some spiritual power.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai gave any guidance, he naturally needed to understand the foundation of his students.


    Chu Zuoshu and the other two, though somewhat puzzled, obediently complied.


    The Spirit-Testing Instrument that Chen Mobai had purchased from Qing Nu was proving to be extremely valuable.


    Chu Zuoshu: [Metal 8, Wood 39, Water 13, Fire 17, Earth 23.]


    Seeing the Five Elements Spiritual Root Value displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. The dual attributes True Spirit Root were quite normal and considered excellent talent in both the Tianhe Realm and the Immortal Gate.


    Unfortunately, Chu Zuoshu had not cultivated a dual-phase technique and, like Meng Hong, focused solely on the Longevity Scripture. For the sake of quick progress in his realm advancement, he had consumed many elixirs, leading to an unstable foundation. Even with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, his chances of Core Formation were not high.


    However, outwardly, Chen Mobai still nodded at Chu Zuoshu.


    Hong He: [Metal 12, Wood 19, Water 53, Fire 14, Earth 12.]


    The second to have his Spiritual Root tested was Hong He, and indeed, as Chen Mobai¡¯s previous chief disciple among the three thousand Qi Cultivation practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, his Water Spirit Root talent was high enough to be called a genius.


    It was a pity, however, that his Metal Spirit Root was average and he had not practiced a dual-phase technique. Moreover, he was affected by his environment, accumulating dan poison within his body.


    Compared to Chu Zuoshu, Hong He¡¯s situation was much better. Firstly, his talent was more exceptional and secondly, he was younger with enough time to treat the dan poison and purify his spiritual power,


    ¡°Hmm, not bad.¡±


    Chen Mobai always adhered to an encouraging educational approach. After checking Hong He¡¯s foundation, he smiled and nodded, then turned to the last person.


    Yin Qingmei¡¯s exquisitely made-up oval face was tinged with faint trepidation; she did not realize Chen Mobai was testing Spiritual Roots, thinking he was extracting spiritual power to check her cultivation level. Among the three present, her cultivation was the lowest.


    She had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.


    For a Heavenly Spiritual Root, this pace was considered somewhat slow.


    Despite her unease, Yin Qingmei still obediently extended her white jade-like right hand to pass a stream of Longevity Spiritual Power when she caught Elder Chen¡¯s watchful eye.


    Yin Qingmei: [Metal 3, Wood 82, Water 5, Fire 4, Earth 6.]


    She was indeed a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, and with just a bit of guidance, Core Formation should pose no problem.


    Content with the numbers on the Spirit-Testing Instrument screen in his palm, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction.


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming, who had sent Gu Yan away, also returned.


    Chen Mobai pointed to the cushion beside him, gesturing for his second disciple to sit down. Teaching one more was just as easy as teaching fewer, and since Zhuo Ming had the foundation from Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, he too had the chance of reaching Core Formation in the future. It was good for him to listen now.


    He first conveyed the Core Formation Insights inherited by the Divine Wood Sect in his own understanding and wording, then shared his personal experience. He also used the Water Controlling Technique to condense a small human model to give them the clearest understanding of the Core Formation process.


    After discussing the Core Formation Insights, he began giving personalized guidance.


    ¡°Nephew Chu, you¡¯ve reached the end of your peak years, so there¡¯s no time for slowly purifying your spiritual power. Better to choose a suitable Body Training Technique and consume Spirit Rice to strengthen your physique.¡±


    For Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have a good solution either. After all, Chu¡¯s cultivation journey over a hundred years, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, was riddled with elixir consumption and dan poison deeply fused with his Longevity Spiritual Power.


    To eliminate the dan poison, he would have to sacrifice most of his lifelong cultivation level, which was simply not worth it.


    It¡¯s better to remain resolute and aim directly for Core Formation.


    After all, there were successful examples like Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Plus, Chu Zuoshu also had the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, which could help him overcome this stage with the power of elixirs.


    However, this meant that the transformation of body and Divine Sense was up to him.


    Chen Mobai himself was not particularly adept with Divine Sense; it was Meng Huang who assisted him, coupled with the power of elixirs, to forcefully break through.


    Only in terms of bodily strength did he have abundant experience, having spent considerable resources and time undergoing the process himself.


    ¡°Reporting to Elder Chen, after hearing your explanation about the three barriers of Foundation Establishment in Divine Wood City, I understood how important a strong body is for Core Formation. Therefore, I started the ¡®Wooden Spiritual Body¡¯ cultivation suitable for me, and have exhausted quite a few resources over the years to bring this Body Training Technique to the Foundation Establishment level. I wonder how much it will help with my Core Formation?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was straightforward; the Divine Wood Sect had numerous Body Training Techniques, but he could not cultivate the top-tier Wood Attribute Longevity Dao Body due to a lack of Longevity Tree Sap. Thus, he had no choice but to opt for the more common ¡°Wood Spirit Body.¡±


    The Wood Spirit Body was widely known in the Eastern Wilderness; even Loose Cultivators could access the Qi Cultivation portion of the method.


    However, the part beyond Foundation Establishment was only available within the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.

    Chu Zuoshu chose this technique because the Wood Spirit Body could eventually be cultivated to Rank-3.


    And conveniently, the Rank-3 Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Method was available in the Divine Wood Sect, suitable due to matching attributes. Zhou Shengqing had spent a lot of Spirit Stones to acquire it from an auction held by the East Barbarians.


    Chu Zuoshu hoped to reach the Peak of Rank-2 before attempting Core Formation.


    Unfortunately, there wasn¡¯t enough time. Even now, eating five meals of Spirit Rice daily and having concoctions from the Alchemy Department to assist in Body Training, he had only reached Rank-2.


    ¡°Wood Spirit Body, eh? It so happens I have 14 drops of Longevity Tree Sap left over from cultivating my Longevity Dao Body. Take it and refine it; it will boost your Wood Spirit Body to intermediate grade Rank-2. Whether you can reach the Peak of Rank-2 before Core Formation will depend on your luck.¡±

 Chapter 936 - Chapter 936 Chapter 515 Guidance_2

    Chapter 936: Chapter 515: Guidance_2 Chapter 936: Chapter 515: Guidance_2 Longevity Tree Sap is the best spiritual object for Wood Attribute Body Forging Techniques. As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out a green-skinned gourd from his storage bag.


    ¡°Many thanks, Elder Chen!¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, amidst the envious gazes of the other three people in the room, expressed his gratitude with a surprised look, quickly stood up, and received the Longevity Tree Sap.


    ¡°I will also impart to you a Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique that speeds up the refinement of Longevity Tree Sap. This secret technique requires a fully refined and freely controlled Green-sun Fire, do you have it?¡±


    ¡°Disciple happens to have one, but controlling it is not quite mastered.¡±


    A complete Green-sun Fire is a Rank-2 peak spiritual object, extremely rare even within the entire Divine Wood Sect. Chu Zuoshu has an exceptional Wood Spiritual Root, but his Fire Spiritual Root is barely passable, so his control over this spiritual fire is merely sufficient for use.


    ¡°Then you will need to overcome this hurdle by yourself.¡±


    Being a Fire Spirit Body like Chen Mobai, when using the Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique, he can directly utilize the highest efficiency in tempering, as the flames would not cause him any harm.


    It was also for this reason that he was able to effortlessly cultivate Sword Sha.


    As for Chu Zuoshu, he could only endure the pain of refining the body with spiritual fire himself. The longer he could endure, the faster the speed of refining Longevity Tree Sap would be, and if he couldn¡¯t hold on, he would have to stop.


    After thanking Chen Mobai again, Chu Zuoshu, holding the green-skinned gourd dearly, sat to one side and gave way to Hong He.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I wonder what flaws I still have in my Core Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai used the Flame Lighting Technique to explore Hong He¡¯s spiritual power and flesh, then looked at his Spiritual Root Value and suddenly noticed something amiss.


    The combined value of Hong He¡¯s Five Elements Spiritual Root actually reached 110.


    Had he consumed heavenly and earthly treasures that enhance Spiritual Roots?


    At this moment, Chen Mobai also noticed that Hong He¡¯s flesh was brimming with vitality, his vital essence was vigorous, and he seemed to have cultivated a Body Training Technique with profound achievement.


    However, though his spiritual power was immense, it was also extremely mixed. This was not a sign of overuse of elixirs but seemed like a combination of spiritual power formed by practicing several different Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    ¡°Nephew Hong, your body is strong, and your spiritual power immense, but it seems some of your spiritual power is not under your control. Why is this?¡±


    As these words from Chen Mobai reached him, the expression on Hong He¡¯s face slightly changed. He hesitated for a moment before explaining some reasons.


    ¡°To report to Elder Chen, in addition to practicing the Azure Waves Cultivation, I have also cultivated the Water Elemental Body and the Clear Spirit Technique. It is precisely because of this that I am invincible among my peers, possibly due to practicing three cultivation techniques concurrently, resulting in my spiritual power being somewhat unstable.¡±


    ¡°Water Elemental Body¡± is a Water Attribute Body Refining Technique, similar to the Wood Spirit Body.


    The ¡°Clear Spirit Technique,¡± on the other hand, is a Divine Consciousness Technique from the Divine Wood Sect, a bit more advanced than Chen Mobai¡¯s original Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique but still achievable to Rank-2.


    Hong He, able to maintain fast progress in cultivation while practicing three techniques, possessed a talent beyond what the term genius could describe, almost reaching Chen Mobai¡¯s level.


    ¡°Your Water Elemental Body is already intermediate grade Rank-2, and given your young age, plus the resources of the sect, it¡¯s certain you could reach the peak of Rank-2 before Core Formation. If you have a chance to advance to Rank-3, there would be an additional ten percent chance of successful Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°I did not probe your Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion regarding your Divine Consciousness due to privacy concerns. However, your Divine Consciousness Intensity is stronger than your spiritual power, which must be rooted in your innate gift. Continue to maintain that clarity within your mind, and keep up with such cultivation.¡±


    ¡°The key issue is the complexity of your spiritual power. This situation is something I have also never seen before and requires careful consideration to find a solution. What kind of elixirs have you used in your usual cultivation?¡±


    In response to Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry, Hong He replied honestly. They were all suitable for increasing and enhancing his Water Spiritual Power, but over the recent years, he had not consumed any, except when breaking through bottlenecks to ensure success; then, he used an elixir that helped overcome the barrier.


    ¡°Well, from now on you should not think about increasing your spiritual power anymore. Focus on honing it as forming the Golden Core is, after all, the condensation of spiritual power. Whether it is the body or Divine Consciousness, they are merely aids to the transformation of spiritual power.¡±


    After advising Hong He on the primary and secondary aspects of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the last person.


    Yin Qingmei!


    This treasure of the Divine Wood Sect had fully blossomed into a great beauty. The aqua and white of her palace attire could not conceal her crystal-clear, snow-white skin, her slender and exquisite figure, the curvaceous outline of her oval face, and her picturesque eyebrows and eyes, like a peach fruit blooming in spring, charming and vibrant.


    ¡°I humbly request Elder Chen¡¯s guidance,¡±


    Yin Qingmei said as she rose from the cushion behind her. Her knees gently shifted across the floor as she moved to the position in front of Chen Mobai, after Hong He stepped aside.


    ¡°Hmm, Niece Yin is a Heavenly Spiritual Root. As long as you continue your cultivation in an orderly manner, achieving Core Formation will not be a problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai, facing her, did not show the same attentiveness as he had for Chu Zuoshu and Hong He; he did not even use the Flame Lighting Technique to take her pulse and examine her body.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I¡­¡±


    Yin Qingmei was somewhat unsatisfied. She had waited for so long only to receive this one sentence.


    She thought about the supreme secret technique of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture that Fu Zongjue once revealed to her, which was said to lead directly to Divinity Transformation. However, Fu Zongjue stated that this cultivation technique was brought to the sect by Chen Mobai, and if one wished to cultivate it, they would need his personal approval.


    This was the reason for Yin Qingmei¡¯s excitement upon receiving summons from Chen Mobai.


    She had thought that Elder Chen was about to impart the Divine Transformation Technique to her.


    ¡°Oh, is there anything else, Niece Yin?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously. He had heard about this Heavenly Spiritual Root from Fu Zongjue; she had achieved Foundation Establishment through Hearing the Path, but the sect chose not to publicize her existence in order to keep a low profile.


    A true Innate Heavenly Spiritual Root, in addition to the full support of the Divine Wood Sect, would ensure that, unless Yin Qingmei recklessly used elixirs to increase her cultivation level, nothing could stop her from progressing past Core Formation.


    Even Chen Mobai was considering whether to impart the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to her.


    However, since the cultivation technique dated back to ancient times, he was not certain whether it would be suitable for the current environment.


    Futhermore, Chen Mobai also feared that the Divine Transformation Technique might conceal hidden maneuvers from the so-called Heavenly Sovereign of the Longevity Sect, and without absolute certainty of its safety, he thought it better to remain cautious.


    After all, Yin Qingmei was a Heavenly Spiritual Root; just by cultivating the Longevity Scripture, she was at least guaranteed to achieve Perfect Core Formation.


    There was no need to gamble the future of the sect on a mere possibility.


    ¡°No, thank you for your guidance, Elder Chen.¡±


    In the face of the scrutiny from the Golden Core Ancestor, a sense of reverence surged within Yin Qingmei. In the end, she dared not ask for the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and quickly bowed down to pay her respects.


    ¡°Hmm, if you have any problems or questions above Core Formation in the future, you may come to me. However, I might enter seclusion and close off this training hall; you can tell Ming¡¯er about any matters, and once I exit seclusion, I will summon her immediately.¡±


    ¡°In the future, we will trouble Zhuo Shimei,¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chu Zuoshu was the first to courteously address Zhuo Ming, followed by greetings from Hong He and Yin Qingmei.


    Zhuo Ming seemed quite surprised, but after having established her own Foundation, and with the support of her Golden Core master Chen Mobai by her side, she confidently stood up to respond.


    Soon, Chu Zuoshu and the others tactfully took their leave.


    Having imparted his guidance to the three of them, Chen Mobai felt he had resolved a matter of concern.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If the Nascent Soul Great Elder from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace did not come to attack, then the goal of the Divine Wood Sect would be to nourish more cultivators to achieve Core Formation, hoping to see the rise of the fourth, fifth, and even sixth Golden Core Cultivators.


    ¡°Master, Xue Ting has also prepared some gifts on behalf of the Snow-blowing Palace; would you like to meet her as well?¡±


    After sending off the other three and returning, Zhuo Ming spoke to Chen Mobai.


    Ever since Chen Mobai had achieved Golden Core status, those who wished to see him typically went through either of his two disciples.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s meet her,¡±


    Chen Mobai valued Zhuo Ming, his second disciple, and since she had requested it and he had no pressing matters, he nodded in agreement.

 Chapter 937 - Chapter 937 516

    Chapter 937: 516 Chapter 937: 516 ¡°Greetings, Elder Chen.¡±


    After entering the wooden hut, Xue Ting immediately gave Chen Mobai a grand salute.


    ¡°Niece Xue, you need not be so courteous. It has been many years since we last met, and seeing you succeed in Foundation Establishment brings me great joy,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s impression of Xue Ting was limited to the label of a disciple of the Snow-blowing Palace, but he was always gentle in his dealings with others. He reached out and a gentle wave of spiritual power surged forth, invisibly helping her to her feet.


    ¡°Reporting to Elder Chen, ever since I left Xiao Nanshan eighteen years ago, I have been constantly reminiscing about those times,¡± Xue Ting said with a touch of emotion after rising, which somewhat surprised Chen Mobai.


    Has it really been eighteen years? He could not even remember when this disciple of the Snow-blowing Palace had come and gone.


    ¡°If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit Xiao Nanshan more often. Ming¡¯er will always be there,¡± Chen Mobai said with a smile. He intended to keep Zhuo Ming, his precious ward, in Giant Tree Ridge forever to protect her. Even someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t compare to Zhuo Ming in his heart.


    However, this meant that Zhuo Ming might feel quite lonely, so having a friend from outside the Divine Wood Sect would be a good thing for her.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Chen. This is a congratulatory gift from our Sect Leader for your Core Formation,¡± Xue Ting said.


    Though Xue Ting contemplated seeking Chen Mobai¡¯s patronage, she knew she needed to find the right moment to bring it up. After all, the level of trust between the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness wasn¡¯t very high, so she proceeded with the gift according to her status.


    Chen Mobai nodded and Zhuo Ming immediately took the gift.


    It was an exquisitely crafted box of ice, slightly transparent, with a red and a blue halo shining inside, dazzling to behold.


    Chen Mobai was quite curious and opened it, his pupils widening slightly in surprise.


    As Xue Ting was representing the Snow-blowing Palace to celebrate Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, Kong Lingling had indeed brought out some items that matched the prestige of Core Formation.


    At the bottom of the box were two intermediate grade Spirit Stones and above the stones lay a pair of crystalline jades.


    The crystals were deep blue with a bone-chilling cold; the jades a warm, glossy red.


    Having completed the mineral identification course at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai recognized these items from the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, Thousand-year Warm Jade!¡±


    Moreover, this Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was even colder and deeper in blue than the one previously used to assist Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment. It was clearly of Rank-3 quality.


    The Thousand-year Warm Jade went without saying; it was also Rank-3.


    This Cold Ice Condensing Crystal wasn¡¯t of much use to Chen Mobai, but it could help Yan Bingxuan in condensing her Ice Soul Divine Light. She was due to return at the end of the year, so it would make a suitable gift for her, though he would have to think of an excuse for its origin.


    As for the Thousand-year Warm Jade, it was compatible with Chen Mobai¡¯s attributes. As he had taken Yan Shaoyin¡¯s refined Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill for his Core Formation, some residual toxicity remained in his body, which he needed to cleanse through cultivation practice of the Flame Lighting Technique. The Warm Jade would assist him in clearing the toxicity more quickly.


    ¡°True Person Kong is very thoughtful. Please convey my thanks when you return,¡± Chen Mobai said sincerely, internally admitting that resources were indeed more abundant in the Tianhe Realm.


    Such items were unavailable for purchase even at the Immortal Gate, regardless of Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai continued to chat with Xue Ting, but as the sky darkened, Zhuo Ming spoke up.


    ¡°Master, Sister Xue also specially purchased some grain seeds from the Snow-blowing Palace as her personal gift to congratulate you on your Core Formation,¡± said Zhuo Ming.


    Sure enough, when Chen Mobai heard about the grain seeds, his eyes lit up.


    Among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, he truly loved farming alone.


    On Xiao Nanshan, despite Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Rhinoceros ability to crossbreed three types of Rank-2 Spirit Rice, they couldn¡¯t develop Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    Chen Mobai knew this was due to a lack of variety in their experiments. With the addition of grain seeds from the territory of Snow Country, they could attempt over a hundred more crossbreeding experiments, potentially producing Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡±


    Chen Mobai excitedly took the large box of well-separated seeds from Xue Ting, carefully picking up each seed and holding it in his palm, using his divine sense to feel the dormant vitality hidden within.


    All were meticulously selected, full and plump seeds.


    ¡°Niece Xue has been very considerate,¡± Chen Mobai said, satisfied as he accepted the box of seeds while continuously nodding in praise to Xue Ting.


    ¡°If Elder Chen is happy, then Xue Ting is also happy,¡± Xue Ting said.


    ¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go to Xiao Nanshan,¡± laughed Chen Mobai.


    After receiving the new seeds, he completely put aside the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal and the Thousand-year Warm Jade, eagerly taking Zhuo Ming and Xue Ting toward Xiao Nanshan.


    By the time the three of them arrived, dusk was falling.


    But Zhuo Ming was quick to ready two mu of the Spirit Field and began sowing the seeds handed to her by Chen Mobai using the most suitable methods. Xue Ting, alongside her, rolled up her palace dress sleeves and adeptly used a hoe and other spiritual tools from her storage bag to help.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai naturally gave instructions from the sidelines.


    Although he had reached Core Formation, his skill in Spirit Plant cultivation had been completely surpassed by Zhuo Ming.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication divine skill had allowed her to integrate all the teachings of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters over the years, making her a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.


    Whenever the Spirit Plant Department encountered any precious and withering herbs over the years, it was Zhuo Ming who resolved the issues.


    After completing his ten-year Town Guard duty in Jian Country, Chu Zuoshu even proposed that Zhuo Ming succeed him in holding the golden flame.

 Chapter 938 - Chapter 938 Chapter 516_2

    Chapter 938: Chapter 516_2 Chapter 938: Chapter 516_2 However, Zhuo Ming was after all too young, and his cultivation level was not high, so his proposal was rejected at the meeting of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    Now, those who had rejected the proposal back then, upon hearing the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, were already trying to find connections, hoping to explain themselves to Zhuo Ming.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Liu Wenbo, hearing the news, rushed over as well, carrying a hoe in all seriousness,


    knowing that under Chen Mobai¡¯s mentorship, other skills might be optional, but farming was a must.


    Many hands make light work, especially since all three of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Soon, this large box of seeds was all planted.


    By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the group naturally made use of what was available ¨C Liu Wenbo caught a couple of rice paddy fish, Zhuo Ming went to another peak to catch Spirit Chicken, and Xue Ting skillfully fetched Mountain Spring Water to boil Spirit Rice.


    Chen Mobai, of course, lay on a large rock, directing them as they worked.


    Over the years, the disciples¡¯ culinary skills had well and truly matured.


    It was also time for him to enjoy these benefits.


    ¡°Indeed, it is only here that one can feel relaxed in body and mind, free of worries and restraints. In the eighteen years since I left Xiao Nanshan, I have been missing this place at every moment.¡±


    Xue Ting, holding a section of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, suddenly spoke with a touch of emotion.


    ¡°I miss it too, it feels like it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve all eaten Spirit Rice and farmed together.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming also spoke with a somewhat naive sentiment.


    Since Luo Yixuan left the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai began to focus on Core Formation, and their branch¡¯s farming and team-building activities started to diminish.


    Liu Wenbo started to say something but then hesitated, ultimately bowing his head and silently eating the grilled fish in his hand.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯s Soul Lantern is still lit; I will definitely bring her back,¡± Chen Mobai calmly stated; by now, he had enough confidence to traverse the Eastern Wilderness without hindrance.


    His primary objective in the Tianhe Realm now was to find his missing young disciple.


    After finishing the meal, Chen Mobai told Zhuo Ming to take good care of Xue Ting, and then he went back to the Longevity Wood Dojo on his own.


    ¡­


    At Dongyi Bright Mirror Mountain, the location of the sect base of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Zhao Xuankang had already been kneeling on the cliff top for an entire month.


    His complexion was ashen, his body devoid of spiritual power, enduring the biting cold winds on the mountain top like a mortal, experiencing torture as excruciating as being flayed, both physically and mentally.


    But he dared not let out any cries of pain, as if he feared disturbing something, clenching his teeth and enduring the suffering.


    That¡¯s because the Nascent Soul cultivator, Golden Wind Ancestor of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, resided beyond the cliff in the void.


    It was a stone cottage suspended in the air, linked to the edge of the cliff by a pitch-black iron chain extending from a stone pillar.


    The dense Spiritual Energy of the entire Bright Mirror Mountain rippled incessantly in the void beyond the cliff, as tangible as flowing water.


    With every sway of the stone cottage, induced by the iron chain, it made contact with the Spiritual Energy, creating ripples on the surface of the void, spreading towards the cliff where Zhao Xuankang knelt.


    Each rush of Spiritual Energy was like a howling cold wind, scraping against Zhao Xuankang¡¯s body like a knife, causing him to grunt involuntarily.


    His golden robe was already stained red with much of his blood, yet he dared not argue or scream, merely gritting his teeth and bearing it.


    Time passed indeterminably, and just as Zhao Xuankang¡¯s consciousness began to blur, a figure bathed in golden light, as if composed of luminous rays, emerged from the stone cottage, gestating in the void beyond the cliff.


    ¡°I pay my respects to the Ancestor!¡±


    Zhao Xuankang immediately sobered up and began kowtowing to the colossal golden figure non-stop.


    ¡°Speak, why did the mission in the Eastern Wilderness fail?¡±


    The tranquil voice of the Golden Wind Ancestor resonated, and Zhao Xuankang immediately recounted in detail his and Nanxuan Jing¡¯s experience after they went to the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect, Chen Guixian!¡±


    After listening to Zhao Xuankang¡¯s description, the Golden Wind Ancestor remembered this name.


    Under the adverse effects of the Technique of Nightmare Prayers, yet still able to achieve Core Formation, an unrivaled genius of the Sword Dao.


    Having just formed his core, he managed to slay Nanxuan Jing. Was he another Ku Zhu?


    ¡°Ancestor, Nanxuan Jing¡¯s death in the Eastern Wilderness is entirely my responsibility, but I still ask you to keep me alive, so I can avenge my junior brother,¡± Zhao Xuankang didn¡¯t try to defend himself, knowing the ancestor loathed such people, but he still tactfully pleaded for his own case.


    ¡°With just you? You couldn¡¯t handle someone who has just formed their core, and with Zhou Shengqing about to undergo Nascent Soul Formation, how can you take revenge for Nanxuan? Expect me to take action?¡± the Golden Wind Ancestor said coldly.


    ¡°Ancestor, the death of junior brother Nan cannot go unavenged. Otherwise, all the sects in the East Land will think the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is easy to bully. I can falsely claim that the Divine Wood Sect possesses spiritual objects left by Ancestor Hunyuan for Nascent Soul Formation, stirring up Devil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators to snatch them. I could even visit Huangquan Dao and ally with the Ghost Cultivators there to obliterate the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    Zhao Xuankang briefly laid out his strategy. After his Core Formation, he was specifically in charge of the darker affairs of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, engaging with all sorts of underworld connections that could not be brought into the light.


    Until now, he still had to consider the reputation of his honourable sect, so he hadn¡¯t pushed things to the extreme.


    He just covertly used a Devil Cultivator to cast a curse in secret, ruining Chen Mobai¡¯s path, and after tracking down his movements when he left the Eastern Wilderness, he managed to guide the Tai Sui in the Land of Ruins to devour him, thinking his plan was foolproof.


    Little did he know, Chen Mobai¡¯s talent and fortune far exceeded his expectations, and despite that situation, Chen Mobai was able to successfully return after forming his core.


    Moreover, he obtained a fearsome Fourth Order Sword from somewhere, and with his unparalleled swordsmanship talent, it was like adding wings to a tiger; under the Unity of Man and Sword, even Nanxuan Jing, skilled in Magic Duels, was slain.


    ¡°Still not enough. If Zhou Shengqing undergoes Nascent Soul Formation, how will you cope then?¡± continued the Golden Wind Ancestor with a chilling tone.


    ¡°If Zhou Shengqing forms his Nascent Soul, I implore the Ancestor to expel me from the Dao Palace immediately. Claim that the actions of your disciple have nothing to do with you or the sect, that it is purely personal enmity that prompted me to provoke conflict between the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and the Divine Wood Sect, a heinous crime.¡±


    Hearing Zhao Xuankang¡¯s words, the Golden Wind Ancestor snorted coldly but stopped the incessant cold winds of the precipice.


    A streak of golden light surged from the stone house, entering Zhao Xuankang¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea. In an instant, the sealed spiritual power within him began to surge, and his Gold Core, previously imperceptible, was once again under the control of his divine sense.


    ¡°I have no desire to waste precious lifespan on that place in the Eastern Wilderness. This is your last chance. I will send Xuan Shu to the Eastern Wilderness as well, with you two, one in the light and the other in the dark. If you two can take down the Eastern Wilderness, I will also give Xuan Shu a chance at Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Upon hearing these words from the Golden Wind Ancestor, Zhao Xuankang¡¯s expression revealed a slight shock.


    Xuan Shu, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s former Saint Heir, who had established his core a hundred years ago with a Wind Spiritual Root.


    After Core Formation, he had been under the personal tutelage of the Golden Wind Ancestor here and only descended from the mountain ten years ago.


    Although Zhao Xuankang did not know of Xuan Shu¡¯s cultivation level, he couldn¡¯t fathom it, implying it was surely higher than his own.


    And Zhao Xuankang was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage!


    And when he heard the Golden Wind Ancestor talk of giving him a chance for Nascent Soul Formation, it was clear, this distinguished Saint Heir of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, who overshadowed the three major sects of the East Barbarians a hundred years ago, and even had a considerable reputation in the East Land, likely had reached the Core Formation late stage.

    [Is the Ancestor hinting for me to assist Xuan Shu in forming his Nascent Soul?]


    As Zhao Xuankang left, a sudden realization dawned in his heart.


    Originally, he had not planned on using the bill of Ji Zhenshi at Shake Mountain Peak to lead the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace into the Eastern Wilderness to carve out a path. It was Nanxuan Jing, after receiving a sign from the ancestor, who approached him, because Zhao Xuankang was most familiar with the Eastern Wilderness.


    He originally thought it would be a straightforward task, but he never expected to take such a tumble at the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s door.

 Chapter 939 - Chapter 939 Chapter 517 Core Formation Grand Ceremony

    Chapter 939: Chapter 517: Core Formation Grand Ceremony Chapter 939: Chapter 517: Core Formation Grand Ceremony Time quickly arrived for Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation ceremony.


    He himself was not too fond of such high-profile events, but for the Eastern Wilderness, a sect announcing a Core Formation was equivalent to gaining another Sky-Pillaring White Jade Column, and they would wish to broadcast it so that the entire world knew.


    As soon as the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation spread from Rock Country, Chu Zuoshu and others had already started preparing for the event.


    After Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai returned one after another, all that remained was to set a date.


    In a leisurely manner, a month passed by.


    ¡°Back to Sky Valley¡¯s congratulatory gift, two bottles of Rank-3 Spirit Pills, presented by Ye Bopei!¡±


    ¡°Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s congratulatory gift, a pair of Water-Fire Spirit Jade, presented by Xue Ting!¡±


    ¡°Jian Country¡¯s Snow Peak Bai Family¡¯s congratulatory gift, eight taels of Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai sat upright on the dais in front of Divine Wood City where he had previously preached on Foundation Establishment, watching Chu Zuoshu, the Sect Leader, greet each visitor one by one, while a loud-voiced cultivator by his side announced each congratulatory visitor and their gifts, sparing him, the elder, from not recognizing them.


    This was necessary, for Chen Mobai was famously known as a cultivator who practiced bitter cultivation, and aside from Xue Ting, he only knew the major families of Jian Country and some families he had come into contact with from Yun Country.


    The sequence of arrivals at the Core Formation ceremony had been arranged in advance, and soon enough, the vast square was filled with seated guests.


    ¡°Five Elements Sect¡¯s congratulatory gift, one Mountain Suppression Stone, presented by Kong Shanxu!¡±


    With the arrival of the last guest¨Ca cultivator with a square face and thick eyebrows¨Caccompanied by Chu Zuoshu, all the esteemed guests for the Core Formation ceremony were present.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Five Elements Sect would also send someone over,¡± Chen Mobai said, somewhat surprised; the relationship between the two sects was not quite deadly foes, but at the very least, they never dealt with each other.


    ¡°Congratulations to Elder Chen for the successful formation of his Gold Core, may you live for five hundred years!¡±


    Accompanied by the congratulations and the rising of all guests, Chen Mobai also stood up with a hearty laugh, raising his cup of wine and downing it in one gulp.


    Then, the customary sermon began.


    A Golden Core cultivator was expounding upon the insights and experiences of Foundation Establishment, a chance that cultivator families in the entire Eastern Wilderness probably wouldn¡¯t have in their lifetimes, so everyone listened with respectful expressions, completely focused, afraid to miss a single word.


    Chen Mobai was now a master of lecturing, after all, he had the rich experience of teaching at the Immortal Gate.


    Kong Shanxu from Five Elements Sect and Ye Bopei from Back to Sky Valley both had normal expressions at first, but after listening to the beginning, their eyebrows raised, and as they listened intently, their eyes were filled with shock.


    Such numerous details within the realm of Foundation Establishment!


    By the end, everyone was listening so intently that they almost seemed enchanted, and by the time they came to their senses, the Elder Chen on the high platform had already ceased his explanation.


    Is it over just like that?


    ¡°Having heard Elder Chen¡¯s explanation, I still have many doubts; may I ask for guidance?¡±


    This was said by Ning Leshan from Golden Cliff, and it was also arranged in advance. Chen Mobai smiled and nodded his head.


    ¡°Today you have all come to attend my Core Formation ceremony, which means we are fated to meet. I will randomly choose three individuals to answer one question each.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the cultivators present brightened up, wishing that Chen Mobai would choose them.


    However, the three individuals had been arranged in advance, with Ning Leshan following Xue Ting.


    As for the third, Chen Mobai glanced over and eventually pointed at Liu Jingxian, the Foundation Establishment elder from the Liu family of Yun Country.


    ¡°Why did Elder Chen choose him?¡±


    Cultivators who were unaware of the background started discussing amongst themselves, but soon someone provided the answer.


    Elder Chen¡¯s Eldest Disciple hailed from the Liu family of Yun Country; Liu Jingxian getting this opportunity was clearly due to Liu Wenbo¡¯s influence.


    Liu Jingxian was not highly cultivated, merely at the peak of the early foundation stage. At 167 years old, he didn¡¯t have much time left to live, but because of the emergence of Liu Wenbo from his family, he was not worried about his successor at all.


    Especially after Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, their Liu family could now be considered a direct lineage of a Gold Core.


    And being chosen by Chen Mobai after the Core Formation ceremony, Liu Jingxian looked even more radiant, as if he had rejuvenated by a decade. He raised the issue that he had encountered in his cultivation, wanting to know how to break through the bottleneck that had troubled him for decades.


    After inquiring about Liu Jingxian¡¯s cultivation technique and examining his Spiritual Root, Chen Mobai presented three methods for breakthrough.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Chen, for your guidance.¡±


    With Liu Jingxian¡¯s sincere words, Chen Mobai nodded and was about to conclude the day¡¯s Core Formation ceremony.


    Suddenly, his expression turned solemn, and he looked up at the sky.


    A resplendent golden Jade Bridge extended from the distant horizon, with a straight-backed youth in a golden robe, hands behind his back, standing at the forefront of the bridge, flying towards the airspace above Giant Tree Ridge.


    A Golden Core Cultivator!


    Without a word, from the surging of nature¡¯s spiritual energy around them, everyone discerned the cultivation level of the newcomer.


    ¡°Who approaches!¡±


    A beam of Spiritual Light rose from one of the Everlife Woods at the center of Giant Tree Ridge, and the figure of Fu Zongjue appeared, confronting the youth in the golden robe, his expression stern.

    ¡°I am Xuan Shu, here to extend my congratulations to True Person Chen on his Core Formation.¡±


    The youth in the golden robe had an ordinary appearance, but his demeanor was exceptionally lofty. He stood upon the Jade Bridge, with the flow of air around him creating a faint roaring sound.


    ¡°The Saint Heir from Xuan Xiao Dao Palace!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t help but feel shock in his heart.


    In his youth, he coincided with Xuan Shu, except the latter was the most dazzling genius of that era, unrivaled throughout the East Barbarians, with a reputation so great that even within the Eastern Wilderness, it was illustrious.

 Chapter 940 - Chapter 940 Chapter 517 Core Formation Ceremony_2

    Chapter 940: Chapter 517: Core Formation Ceremony_2 Chapter 940: Chapter 517: Core Formation Ceremony_2 It is said that in the East Land, Xuan Shu was also remarkably brilliant, engaging in discourse with the Taoist Children and Saintesses from the Holy Land Major Sects.


    After returning from the East Land, Xuan Shu quickly achieved Core Formation, but after that, there had been essentially no news from him.


    Unexpectedly, instead of the Golden Wind Ancestor from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace coming, they sent this seedling for Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Visitors should be treated as guests, please come down and have a drink of light wine.¡±


    Although Fu Zongjue was apprehensive due to Xuan Shu¡¯s reputation, given that they were at Giant Tree Ridge, even if the Golden Wind Ancestor, the Primordial Infant Great Cultivation himself, arrived, they could resist. He quickly regained his composure and even extended an invitation to Xuan Shu to come down.


    ¡°I came in a hurry and did not prepare any gifts, so I¡¯ll come down to ask for a drink.¡±


    Xuan Shu was proud yet not arrogant, and wouldn¡¯t fall into a trap by entering the Large Formation at Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°If that is the case, I ask that you please leave.¡±


    Fu Zongjue tactfully reminded him that the Divine Wood Sect and the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace had become irreconcilable deadly foes after the killing of Nanxuan Jing.


    However, today was the Core Formation ceremony for Chen Mobai, and he did not wish to fight.


    Moreover, most importantly, with Zhou Shengqing in closed-door cultivation, neither he nor Chen Mobai were a match for this Xuan Shu.


    ¡°I am here not only to congratulate True Person Chen on his Core Formation but also to ask for the settlement of a debt.¡±


    Without further ado, Xuan Shu narrowed his eyes as a fierce chill began to gather around him as its epicenter.


    ¡°What debt?¡±


    ¡°My junior brother Nanxuan Jing died at the hands of True Person Chen. His life must be compensated with the life of a Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Core Cultivator.¡±


    With that statement, Fu Zongjue knew the visitor was foe, not friend. He sneered and without wasting more words, immediately controlled his Puppet Body to retreat towards Giant Tree Ridge below.


    Suddenly, with a whoosh!


    A brilliant azure light burst from Xuan Shu¡¯s fingertips, and just as Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body turned around, it was cleaved in two.


    The azure light slashed the clouds and clove the sky, its momentum unceasing as it descended toward Giant Tree Ridge.


    A clear and resplendent Sacred Tree Divine Light soared into the sky as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Array of Ten Thousand Woods activated spontaneously, neutralizing Xuan Shu¡¯s attack into nothingness.


    ¡°Does the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s three Golden Core practitioners only dare to hide within their Large Formation?¡±


    Xuan Shu stood on the Jade Bridge, looming in mid-air, and called out loudly towards Giant Tree Ridge. His voice naturally carried into Divine Wood City.


    The crowd exchanged glances, but none dared utter a word, as if they were struck silent and didn¡¯t dare look towards Chen Mobai on the high platform.


    In their eyes, Xuan Shu¡¯s disruption of the Core Formation ceremony would surely incur Elder Chen¡¯s great wrath.


    In these circumstances, it was still with him that they made eye contact.


    What if Elder Chen was petty.


    ¡°Nephew Chu, what¡¯s the background of this Xuan Shu?¡±


    Chen Mobai was not thoroughly familiar with the forces on this side of the Eastern Wilderness, let alone an outsider like Xuan Shu.


    His mood was naturally not very good, and he was already prepared to step onto the field with his Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Reporting to Elder Chen, I do not know the origins of this person either.¡±


    Xuan Shu had secluded himself in Bright Mirror Mountain for a hundred years, and the younger generation from the East Barbarians didn¡¯t even know this person, let alone Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°He is the previous Saint Son of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.¡±


    The one who spoke this was Kong Shanxu of the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai glanced at him and gave a nod, then transformed into a crimson flame of light, like a shooting star soaring into the sky, rushing towards Xuan Shu in mid-air.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do not act rashly!¡±


    Unfortunately, before he could leave the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, Fu Zongjue stopped him.


    ¡°Brother, if we do not respond and are blocked at our door, where will the Sect¡¯s dignity be?¡±


    With the Sect¡¯s Large Formation as a backbone, if there¡¯s a trend toward an untenable defense, then retreat immediately, Chen Mobai thought.


    ¡°All right, Junior Brother, make sure not to overdo it. I¡¯ve already sent someone to notify Brother Mo. Together, the three of us will surely be able to capture him with ease.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, being the least advanced in his cultivation, was used to ganging up with Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang. Thus, sensing that Xuan Shu was about to make a move, he promptly withdrew, intending to regroup with reinforcements before engaging again.


    ¡°I shall rely on Brother Fu to back me up!¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he had already stepped outside the coverage of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    [Good, this person is indeed as proud as I expected. When we clash, I¡¯ll initially feign weakness. Once he believes he can hold out against me, I¡¯ll surge forward and strike him down in one move, giving him no chance to flee back into the formation.]


    Standing on the Jade Bridge, Xuan Shu noted Chen Mobai stepping out of the formation. His facial expression remained calm, but his eyes sparkled with anticipation as he envisioned his opponent, decapitated, merely a few breaths later.


    The so-called unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius was merely a boast of the small region of the Eastern Wilderness. His real strength and talent, if taken to the East Land, were probably only at the level of a major Sect¡¯s entry-level disciple.


    But he was a true genius, capable of holding conversations with those Saint Land Taoist Children and Taoist Saintesses.


    After slaying this Chen Guixian, he would force Zhou Shengqing to leave seclusion. Then, he would gradually take care of the remaining Golden Core Cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness and eventually clear out the Rank-4 demonic beast in Yun Meng Ze. After that, he could start preparing for his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Xuan Shu¡¯s plan for his own ascension to Nascent Soul was crystal clear. Even the Golden Wind Ancestor, in his eyes, was nothing more than a chess piece to be used.


    Upon his Nascent Soul Formation, he would unify the three regions of the East Barbarians, Eastern Wilderness, and Dongwu, establish a super Sect to develop this Land of Ruins, collecting resources for his Divinity Transformation, and thereby establish a Holy Land outside of the East Land.


    ¡°The thing I hate the most is people without manners.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice reached him, and Xuan Shu scoffed, his fingertips gleaming with an azure-gold sharpness.


    As he prepared to use his Heavenly Wind Finger, a suddenly deep and muffled thunderclap boomed in the sky.


    Chen Mobai drew a streak of purple light from his Storage Bag, and with a thunderous rumble in the sky, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, the Purple Electric Sword had already descended upon Xuan Shu¡¯s head.


    His Heavenly Wind Finger was instantly broken. Xuan Shu¡¯s expression changed slightly as he triggered a Defense Spirit Talisman from his sleeve, creating a barrier of wind to block in front of the Purple Electric Sword.


    However, as the thunder crashed down from the sky, layers of the whirlwind were shattered.


    Seeing that even this Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Talisman couldn¡¯t stop the Purple Electric Sword, Xuan Shu¡¯s eyes widened in shock. He could only spit out a Gold Jade Treasure Pearl, a golden radiance erupting furiously to envelop his entire body.


    Simultaneously, two more Defense Spirit Talismans were triggered, forming a triple layer of protection along with the Treasure Bead.


    Amidst the deafening roar!


    Xuan Shu couldn¡¯t help but stagger back step by step.


    The Purple Electric Sword was eagerly drawing Pure Yang Spiritual Power from Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea. Although their paths varied, both were of the most yang and rigid aspect, with an eighty percent compatibility.


    In the eyes of over a hundred Foundation Establishment Practitioners from around the Eastern Wilderness in Divine Wood City below, a dazzling and brilliant column of purple lightning burst from the Sword Artifact in Elder Chen¡¯s palm, striking the illustrious, once high-and-mighty Saint Heir of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, atop the Jade Bridge, down like a golden ball.


    Is this the greatest Sword talent from the Eastern Wilderness in a millennium?


    Many had doubted the boasts of the Divine Wood Sect, but after witnessing this scene, they felt it was an understatement.


    Since the Eastern Wilderness had been opened up, there had never been such an impressive Sword Cultivator!


    Boom!


    At that moment, Xuan Shu finally halted in mid-air. After a burst of dazzling azure-gold light, he managed to forcefully redirect the direction of the purple column of lightning.

    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised as that powerful surge had just overpowered his grip on the Purple Electric Sword.


    While the main reason was that his own cultivation level was insufficient to fully wield the power of the Purple Electric Sword, it was indeed true that a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator should not be underestimated.


    However, he never intended to defeat Xuan Shu in the first place, he merely wanted to strike a couple of blows for the sake of the Sect¡¯s honor.


    After all, with an ample reserve of Spiritual Power, using the Purple Electric Sword wouldn¡¯t deplete his Elemental Energy, and he could also practice his proficiency with the Fourth Order Sword.


    Purple Electric Sword: [Master, this opponent is somewhat strong¡­]


    Chen Mobai: [No matter, our Unity of Man and Sword should cut him twice as a formality, just to show face. There¡¯s no need to defeat him.]


    Purple Electric Sword: [I mean, we should add more Spirit Stones.]


    Chen Mobai: [¡­]

 Chapter 941 - Chapter 941 Chapter 518 Hall of Ten Directions

    Chapter 941: Chapter 518 Hall of Ten Directions Chapter 941: Chapter 518 Hall of Ten Directions How could this Purple Electric Sword learn such bad habits!


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai had only this thought in his mind.


    He instinctively felt that he couldn¡¯t indulge it, now it even dared to demand more Spirit Stones, what would it be like in the future!


    But with the arrow on the bowstring, he still needed the wholehearted cooperation of the Purple Electric Sword to stand a chance of arm-wrestling with this Core Formation Late Stage Xuan Shu, so Chen Mobai could only agree for now.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°After we kill him, how many Spirit Stones do you want, just name your price.¡±


    Purple Electric Sword: ¡°This¡­ probably can¡¯t kill him.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword, which had been all geared up to demand more Spirit Stones, suddenly deflated.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Can¡¯t kill him?! And you still dared to ask for more Spirit Stones!¡±


    Purple Electric Sword: ¡°Then¡­ maybe let¡¯s not add then.¡±


    The simple Purple Electric Sword thought about it and felt it made sense, after all, it only asked for half a piece when slaying enemies before, and now there was no certainty in achieving a kill, asking for more would be somewhat embarrassing.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°However, since the opponent¡¯s cultivation level is indeed higher, if you can injure him, I will reward you half a piece more, making it a whole one.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword, whose morale had been a bit deflated, immediately soared upon hearing this.


    Amidst the rumbling of thunder, a purple current flickered in the void like a dragon-snake, coiling and spiraling as it infused into the long-hilted Sword Artifact in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm.


    Chen Mobai only felt that the vast Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea was drained by a third in an instant, and his Gold Core dimmed significantly.


    However, this made him feel that the power concentrated in the Rank-4 Sword Artifact in his palm was even more terrifying and sharp than before.


    With a sizzling sound, Chen Mobai raised his sword!


    A streak of purple light burst from the tip of the sword, like a heaven-splitting purple rainbow shooting straight into the sky.


    The clouds in the sky rotated around it as the center, and the nature¡¯s spiritual energy above Giant Tree Ridge was drawn by this sword, generating strands of purple lightning in the void, twinkling as they merged into the Sword Artifact and the body of Chen Mobai who wielded it.


    A feeling akin to acupuncture spread from the palm holding the sword throughout his body, and had Chen Mobai not cultivated the Longevity Dao Body, he might have been injured.


    Before he could question the Purple Electric Sword, a blindingly brilliant golden meteor had already flashed out from Xuan Shu¡¯s right hand.


    The renowned ¡°Sun Shooting Halberd Technique¡± of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, when unleashed by him, possessed a far greater power than Nanxuan Jing.


    Chen Mobai waved his left sleeve, and an Ancient Bronze Mirror flew out.


    After a Spiritual Power Injection of Pure Yang Spiritual Power, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield transformed into a semi-circular arc of light in an instant, shielding Chen Mobai.


    With a bang!


    The golden meteor collided directly with the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, unleashing a dazzling red and gold shockwave impossible to look at directly, the air explosion rippled out like water waves in midair.


    Chen Mobai felt the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea being drained crazily by the Profound Yang Divine Light Mirror and frowned slightly.


    Compared to his encounter with Nanxuan Jing, he had used up four times the amount!


    After just two exchanges with Xuan Shu, Chen Mobai had used up more than half of his spiritual power.


    This couldn¡¯t go on, he had to play his last sword, to keep up appearances!


    With this thought, Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to strike three times, suddenly brightened his eyes and loosened his grip on the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword felt the tight grip on it disappear and was full of doubts, thinking perhaps Chen Mobai could not bear the pain of the increased Purple Lightning Infusion after increasing its power by another ten percent.


    Just as the Purple Electric Sword was considering dissipating one-third of the concentrated Purple Brilliance Sword Light, a translucent Skeletal Palm extended from the right side of the void next to Chen Mobai.


    The Skeletal Palm, with five-colored brilliance at the fingertips, carried a sense of cyclic perfection, and firmly grasped the long-hilted Sword Artifact hovering in midair!


    ¡°I want to try the greatest power I can control you with right now, keep refining the nature¡¯s spiritual energy into Purple Lightning, do not stop unless I say so!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart and mind communicated to the Purple Electric Sword, and the latter did not hesitate, as it did not know how long it had been since it had gone all out.


    Although it still could not display its full glory, being able to increase its power a bit more filled it with joy.


    And so, the Purple Electric Sword began to run wild!


    Boom!


    In the void where originally only one dragon-snake-sized purple electric current coursed, another suddenly emerged in an instant!


    The purple current was absorbed by the sword tip, extending along the sword body to the translucent Five Elements Dao Palace arm of the All Laws Persona, and although Chen Mobai¡¯s body was spared the pain of the Purple Lightning Infusion, his Divine Sense still had to bear the heavy pressure of controlling this power.


    Soon, as the silhouette of two half-dragon-snake purple lightnings emerged in the void, he felt that his Divine Sense, at the second level of the Gold Core, had reached its limit and immediately began to call for a stop.


    At this moment, the clash between the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield and the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique also reached its peak!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Amid the booming sound, the Golden Halberd¡¯s spiritual power was exhausted, and it fell dimly from the sky.


    The Profound Yang Divine Light Shield also trembled as it flew back into Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, showing signs that the Defensive Magic Xuan Yang Divine Light had been damaged.


    This demonstrated the formidable power of Xuan Shu¡¯s Spell!


    However, after Chen Mobai blocked one Sun Shooting Halberd Technique, Xuan Shu, standing on the Jade Bridge, had already pulled out two more Golden Halberds from his Storage Bag, and with the golden light flickering in his palm, two comet-like golden streams shot out.


    But a dark purple swath of sky-covering Sword Light also erupted from the translucent Five Elements arm next to Chen Mobai at the same time. As the Sword Light spun like a wheel, it swiftly swept towards Xuan Shu on the bridge with the Purple Electric Sword at its center, as if Mowing the Grass.

 Chapter 942 - Chapter 942 Chapter 518 Hall of Ten Directions_2

    Chapter 942: Chapter 518: Hall of Ten Directions_2 Chapter 942: Chapter 518: Hall of Ten Directions_2 The two golden meteors conjured by the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique, upon their halfway journey, encountered deep purple sword radiances, and merely after two breaths¡¯ time, they were ground into a sky full of golden dust.


    Xuan Shu¡¯s eyes widened in shock at this sight, and the Gold Jade Treasure Pearl he had retracted was spat out once more.


    A vast eruption of spiritual power, transforming into a golden tempest, wrapped tightly around Xuan Shu like a whirlwind.


    The deep purple sword radiances that sliced through the golden tempest burst forth with extremely dazzling radiance, surpassing the Rank-3 level in an instant.


    ¡°A Rank-4 Defensive Magic Weapon!?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t until then that Chen Mobai realized why, after he had easily slain Nanxuan Jing with the Purple Electric Sword, the former Saint Heir of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still dared to seek him out.


    So the man had a Rank-4 Magic Artifact to rely on as well!


    The collision between the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s energy and the Golden Mirage Pearl dominated half of the sky over Giant Tree Ridge, with the tremendous fluctuation of nature¡¯s spiritual energy making over a hundred Foundation Establishment Practitioners gathered in Divine Wood City to celebrate Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation shiver uncontrollably.


    Foundation Establishment Practitioners are already capable of employing the nature¡¯s spiritual energy to cast spells.


    Compared to the Qi Practitioners who only feel a dazzling, splendid sight, these Foundation Establishment Practitioners can sense the terrifying power between the two individuals clashing above them.


    If the two Fourth Order Magic Weapons colliding midair were to fall here now, it¡¯s likely at least half of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners present would perish.


    Is this the might of a Golden Core Cultivator, the strongest force in the Eastern Wilderness?


    Just as some of the family Foundation Establishments were still in awe of Chen Mobai and Xuan Shu, Kong Shanxu from the Five Elements Sect and Ye Bopei from Back to Sky Valley had solemn expressions on their faces.


    Both were direct disciples of Core Formation from their sects, having witnessed their own masters in action.


    But in their perception, either of the individuals fighting in the sky seemed to be a bit more formidable than their masters.


    It made sense for Xuan Shu to be so powerful, as he was once known throughout the East Barbarians as an extraordinary genius a hundred years ago and was considered to possess the talent for Nascent Soul Formation.


    But this Elder Chen of Divine Wood Sect¨Ceven if he were a Sword Cultivation Genius like Xuan Shu, after all, he had only just formed his core, so how could he fight so fiercely with Xuan Shu, who is at the Core Formation Late Stage?


    Could it be that Elder Chen¡¯s talent is even more heaven-defying than Xuan Shu¡¯s?


    With this thought, both Kong Shanxu and Ye Bopei became somewhat restless.


    Zhou Shengqing of the Divine Wood Sect had already made their two sects feel like there was a thorn in their side just with his Nascent Soul Formation; with this newly formed genius, whose talent was so frightening, would they not have even less chance to resist given some time?


    As the two pondered how they might suppress the growth of Divine Wood Sect, the collision between the two Fourth Order Magic Weapons in midair finally determined a victor.


    An ¡°All Laws Persona¡± that had emerged beside Chen Mobai began to dissipate inch by inch like green smoke, and amidst the humming sound, the Purple Electric Sword landed in front of him.


    On the other side, Xuan Shu¡¯s face paled slightly, and he swallowed back the Gold Jade Treasure Pearl that he had spit out earlier.


    ¡°Master, I feel that the adversary is not in harmony with the Magic Weapon; his maneuvers were hindered, and moreover, I estimate that he probably had to use the original spiritual power of his Gold Core to bring forth the might of a Rank-4. If we unite man and sword like just now to strike another sword blow, we might be able to slay him.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword conveyed some excited emotions to Chen Mobai, but feeling the nearly depleted Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea, Chen Mobai could only shake his head.


    If he were to take action now, he would have to draw upon the original spiritual power of the Gold Core, which was irreplaceable once used.


    There was no need to compromise his own foundation for the sake of this Xuan Shu.


    ¡°That sword of yours, where did it come from?¡±


    At this time, in front of Chen Mobai, Xuan Shu, having taken an elixir, rejuvenated almost instantaneously, his originally pale complexion turning rosy. He raised his head to look at the Purple Electric Sword, his eyes intense.


    ¡°And that bead of yours, what¡¯s its origin?¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and retorted. The last reserve of spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea began to circulate, readying to activate the Ground Firelight escape technique at any moment to descend into the Array of Ten Thousand Woods below.


    ¡°A hundred years ago, a relic appeared in Dongyi Panghai Mountain, left by the Fanhai Sect of the Hall of Ten Directions. I entered it and acquired this Golden Mirage Pearl.¡±


    Xuan Shu actually revealed the origin of his fourth-grade treasure bead, causing Chen Mobai to be slightly surprised.


    Having been with the Divine Wood Sect for so many years, although he wasn¡¯t very clear about the rise and fall of minor powers, he had read through all the legends and epics related to the Tianhe Realm concerning holy lands, Divinity Transformation, and even Ascension Superpowers.


    The renown of the Hall of Ten Directions was among them.


    At the peak of the Eastern Emperor Court¡¯s power, it was one of the sects assigned to suppress all corners of the world. When the ten halls united, even the holy land major sects with Divinity Transformation experts had to retreat three steps in deference.


    After the disintegration of the Eastern Emperor Court, some of the halls of the ten fell to ruin, while others left the Eastern Earth Region to continue their lineage, and some, relying on their extraordinary power, managed to survive the great calamity and even became one of the holy lands.


    Since Xuan Shu possessed a treasure of the Hall of Ten Directions, could he also have inherited something from the Fanhai Sect?


    It was said that the Fanhai Sect cultivated the technique to overturn rivers and seas, and at its zenith, under the edict of the Eastern Emperor Court, even the Dragon King of the water and sea territories outside the Eastern Earth Region did not dare to set foot on land.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finished speaking. What about you?¡±


    Xuan Shu spoke again. After swallowing that elixir, the initially pale and weak aura from using the Golden Mirage Pearl had completely vanished, and it seemed as if he had restored all his spiritual power, his gaze burning as he looked at the Purple Electric Sword in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    [It seems it¡¯s time to bring that out.]


    Chen Mobai had long before thought about how to explain the various magic artifacts and spiritual objects he had brought over from the Immortal Gate in the Tianhe Realm.


    That would be under the pretense of the Longevity Sect.


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue were already deeply convinced of this, firmly believing that Chen Mobai had received the true inheritance of this ancient great sect and was the living heir of the Blue Emperor of the Longevity Sect.


    Chen Mobai raised the Purple Electric Sword in his hand and gently released it.


    The Golden Core Domain was activated, the void opened up as if a mouth was unfastened, slowly swallowing the fourth-grade sword artifact until it completely disappeared into thin air.


    Witnessing this scene, Xuan Shu¡¯s eyes sharply narrowed. With his cultivation realm, he was unable to see how the sword artifact had vanished?


    ¡°I am the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect!¡±


    And at this moment, Chen Mobai resoundingly declared his ¡°true¡± identity!


    Once these words were said, Xuan Shu was first shocked, then his expression passed through a flash of realization, and he looked solemnly at the handsome young man in front of him, who had just achieved Core Formation.


    The Longevity Sect was an influence even more ancient than the Eastern Emperor Court, and it was said to have worshipped a Heavenly Sovereign of Longevity.


    Unfortunately, one day, due to some taboo, the upper echelons of the Longevity Sect vanished overnight.


    However, the relics of the Longevity Sect were scattered across the six domains of the Eastern Land, and True Lord Yuan was able to ascend because he had cultivated the Longevity Technique, greatly extending his lifespan and reverting to youth.


    If this person had indeed received the inheritance of the Longevity Sect, then that would explain everything.


    For a great power that once worshipped the Heavenly Sovereign of Longevity, a fourth-grade sword artifact was merely trivial.


    In that case, the reason he couldn¡¯t defeat him wasn¡¯t that the opponent was exceptional, but simply because the sword artifact of the Longevity Sect was formidable.


    With that thought, Xuan Shu felt balanced in his heart. He gave Chen Mobai another deep look and then, without saying anything further, turned and rode the Jade Bridge as he disappeared into the horizon.


    ¡°This guy, did he simply come here to make a scene for Nanxuan Jing? Or was he sent by the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace to station in the Eastern Wilderness?¡±

    As he watched Xuan Shu¡¯s departing figure, Chen Mobai pondered this.


    At that moment, a golden light shone at the teleportation array in Giant Tree Ridge, and Mo Douguang¡¯s figure appeared, quickly joining Fu Zongjue as they flew to Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, shall we pursue and attack?¡±


    Mo Douguang asked.


    ¡°My spiritual power is depleted, and I cannot take action. Brother Mo has just made a breakthrough; it¡¯s essential to consolidate your realm. Let¡¯s let him go today.¡±

 Chapter 943 - Chapter 943 Chapter 519 The Family Split in the Past

    Chapter 943: Chapter 519: The Family Split in the Past Chapter 943: Chapter 519: The Family Split in the Past Chen Mobai spoke up. Under the current circumstances where he couldn¡¯t use the Purple Electric Sword, it was impossible for Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue alone to kill Xuan Shu.


    During their conversation, the three of them had already flown down from the sky.


    Chen Mobai landed first above Divine Wood City, said a few words to the Foundation Establishment practitioners from the various powers of the Eastern Wilderness who had come to congratulate him, and concluded the Core Formation ceremony.


    As Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu was responsible for the follow-up work.


    Chen Mobai went to join Mo Douguang for tea.


    He had originally brought two jars of fine wine, but Mo Douguang, true to the style of a Sword Cultivator, abstained from drinking. Fortunately, the Snow Peak Bai Family had presented Snow Needle Immortal Buds, and the three of them drank and discussed their perspectives on the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The discussion was primarily between Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue. Mo Douguang only gave a brief reply when he was asked.


    Fu Zongjue said, ¡°The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace remains a major threat, but the person in charge has now changed from Nanxuan Jing to Xuan Shu.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied, ¡°Without Nascent Soul Cultivators coming forth, the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness is still under the control of our two factions. Xuan Shu alone cannot turn the heavens.¡±


    Fu Zongjue added, ¡°Now it all depends on whether Brother Zhou can achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.¡¯ I hope nothing goes wrong during this time.¡±


    At that point, the three looked up towards the Everlife Wood, where nature¡¯s spiritual energy was boiling and converging. Zhou Shengqing had already taken that step, and whether he lived or died next depended on his fate.


    Chen Mobai noted, ¡°If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace wants to challenge our two factions in the Eastern Wilderness, their only option is to drag the Five Elements Sect into the fray. We need to guard against that possibility.¡±


    As for Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling, since they had both sent representatives to attend Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation ceremony, it was clear that they did not wish to become embroiled in the conflict between the two powers, and for the time being, could be disregarded.


    Fu Zongjue suggested, ¡°Isn¡¯t Kong Shanxu here? Call him over and give him a warning.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and used the Heavenly Communication Device to contact Chu Zuoshu.


    Divine Wood City.


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s departure, the high-ranking officials of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, led by Chu Zuoshu, gathered in their respective circles according to their connections. They sang and danced with long sleeves, either discussing the Tao or exchanging elixirs and Spirit Materials.


    This was a rare spectacle for those family Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    Without the support of a major sect, even though they had some precious resources, they were difficult to trade due to limitations on their use.


    Take, for example, the Liu family of Yun Country, who specialized in breeding Azure Blood Carps. Liu Jingxian was also a Rank-2 Artifact Refiner, but typically he only crafted Magic Artifacts for the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of a few major families within Yun Country and wasn¡¯t able to sell his skills even once in ten years.


    Now, because Liu Jingxian was singled out by Chen Mobai, many families from outside Yun Country became aware of his existence and flocked to socialize with him.


    Not only were the Spirit Fish bred by his family booked up, but the orders for refining Magic Artifacts extended several years into the future as well.


    Among those coveting Liu Jingxian the most was Patriarch Luo of Yun Country¡¯s own Luo family, Luo Sancai.


    The fact that Elder Chen had three direct disciples had become widely known amongst all present due to Liu Jingxian¡¯s new fame.


    The teacher and his four disciples were all from Yun Country¡¯s Cultivation World and were disciples who entered the Divine Wood Sect together over twenty years ago.


    Among them, Elder Chen was recognized for his extraordinary talent upon joining the sect. He lived up to expectations and, after only four years, suppressed three thousand Qi Practitioners with a single sword, successfully reaching Foundation Establishment as number one among the true disciples. His cultivation then advanced by leaps and bounds, and he now was a Core Formation practitioner, one of the top Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Besides his exceptional talent in cultivation, Elder Chen¡¯s ability to teach and solve doubts was also publicly acknowledged as the best within the Divine Wood Sect.


    The majority of Qi Practitioners he advised had succeeded in their Foundation Establishment.


    Among his disciples, Luo Yixuan, known as the Southern Mountain Fairy, was considered to resemble Elder Chen the most.


    After entering Xiao Nanshan, her extraordinary talent began to unfold under Elder Chen¡¯s guidance, consistently securing a spot among the top three true disciples. Her effortless Foundation Establishment further established her as the number one fairy of the Divine Wood Sect. Known for her ethereal beauty, she was the shining moon in the hearts of countless Cultivators.


    Logically, this young disciple should have been Elder Chen¡¯s favorite.


    No one understood why Elder Chen had chosen Liu Jingxian over Luo Sancai during his previous lecture, but from this action, they gleaned one thing: compared to the Liu family, the Luo family held little standing in Elder Chen¡¯s heart.


    Thus, Liu Jingxian was surrounded by layer upon layer of people, while only Luo Yixiu stood lonely by Luo Sancai¡¯s side.


    Only Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the families could enter the Core Formation ceremony, and Luo Yixiu was present to accompany Luo Sancai as a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Luo Sancai glanced at Luo Yixiu, who stood beside him with his head lowered in a timid manner, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.


    How had he ever thought this fellow capable of inheriting his mantle?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had been utterly blind!


    To mistake excrement for treasure!


    Over the past twenty years, to support Luo Yixiu¡¯s cultivation, the Luo family had spent a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and resources, only for Luo Yixiu to fail his Foundation Establishment despite taking a Foundation Building Pill from the Divine Wood Sect.


    In contrast, Luo Yixuan, who was sent to the Divine Wood Sect merely to accompany Luo Yixiu, had surprisingly surpassed everyone¡¯s expectations within the Luo family. Not only did she cling to the towering tree that was Elder Chen, but she also showcased talents far beyond those of Luo Yixiu.


    If they had only been nicer to Luo Yixuan when she was younger, it would be Luo Sancai, not Liu Jingxian, who would now be at the center of everyone¡¯s flattery!

 Chapter 944 - Chapter 944 Chapter 519 Dividing the familys past_2

    Chapter 944: Chapter 519 Dividing the family¡¯s past_2 Chapter 944: Chapter 519 Dividing the family¡¯s past_2 With this thought in mind, Luo Sancai found the sight of Liu Jingxian relishing the crowd¡¯s flattery and his smile ever broadening increasingly irksome when looking at Luo Yixiu beside him.


    ¡°Your brother¡¯s son and daughter have decent Spiritual Root Talents. I will arrange for them to join the Divine Wood Sect when it next recruits disciples.¡±


    Upon hearing Luo Sancai¡¯s words, Luo Yixiu¡¯s face turned stark white.


    His own brother was merely a mixed Spiritual Root, assigned early on by the family to practice the Strong Kidney Technique, and then to copulate with female cultivators with a Spiritual Root, selected through trades from all over the place.


    Over the past twenty or so years, Luo Yixiu had lost count of just how many nephews and nieces he had, but he knew that among them, a pair had talents not a whit inferior to his own and Luo Yixuan¡¯s.


    If the Luo family arranged for them to join the sect, the resources formerly allocated for Luo Yixiu¡¯s cultivation would be transferred to them instead.


    ¡°Ancestor, give me one more chance. I will surely succeed in refining the Foundation Building Pills by the next batch at the sect,¡± Luo Yixiu appealed with persistence on behalf of himself.


    Faced with a matter affecting his own cultivation path, Luo Yixiu had no choice but to argue for himself boldly.


    ¡°Since you have such ambition, then work hard on your own,¡± Luo Sancai said indifferently, implying that the family would no longer provide resources for his cultivation; he would have to figure it out by himself.


    ¡°Ancestor, Xuan and I have a great relationship. Aren¡¯t you afraid she¡¯ll be unhappy when she comes back?¡±


    At this point, Luo Yixiu couldn¡¯t care less, starting to invoke Luo Yixuan¡¯s name for leverage.


    After hearing this, Luo Sancai couldn¡¯t help but chuckle coldly. He certainly hadn¡¯t forgotten the attitude Luo Yixuan had after her initial Foundation Establishment when she returned to the family¨Capart from her mother, with whom she still had some affection, she treated all other members of the Luo family with cold disdain, including her own father. She mocked and ridiculed Luo Yixiu, seemingly wishing that everyone in the Luo family knew she was the brightest of all, that they had been blind back then.


    For this reason, in the past decade, Luo Sancai had started adjusting the family¡¯s strategy. For those female members with a Spiritual Root, they no longer simply traded with other families for breeding, but instead tried to cultivate them together to see if they could raise another ¡°Luo Yixuan¡± who had affection for the family.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to follow me. I¡¯m going to get close to Elder Chen¡¯s disciple, and see if I can send your niece to serve by Elder Chen¡¯s side as a maid,¡± Luo Sancai announced without delay.


    ¡°Ancestor, Elder Chen is a cultivator dedicated to bitter cultivation, usually in seclusion, and doesn¡¯t like to have people around to serve,¡± Luo Yixiu quickly advised Luo Sancai, a fact that was common knowledge within the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Your niece resembles Xuan quite a bit. We need to arrange for her to meet with Elder Chen at least once. Perhaps Elder Chen, upon seeing her, will be reminded of the missing Xuan, and in his longing, might take her in,¡± Luo Sancai said, turning thoughtful.


    Luo Sancai, older even than Liu Jingxian, likely only had twenty or thirty years left to live.


    The family¡¯s previous hope in Divine Wood Sect, Luo Shupin, died in Lei Nation, the promising Luo Yixiu proved incompetent, and the only one they counted on, Luo Yixuan, had gone missing. However, this was perhaps for the better. After all, Luo Yixuan had little affection for the Luo family. With her missing from Elder Chen¡¯s side, a female cultivator from the family who was loyal in her stead could take her place, possibly inheriting Luo Yixuan¡¯s position in Elder Chen¡¯s heart.


    With these thoughts, Luo Sancai promptly changed his demeanor and made his way towards Zhuo Ming, who was surrounded by even more people.


    He had investigated before; Luo Yixuan had a good relationship with this Second Senior Sister, often farming together and attending to Chen Mobai at Xiao Nanshan.


    Just at this moment, in the midst of a conversation at the center of Divine Wood City, Chu Zuoshu suddenly stopped speaking. With a respectful expression, he took out a long, rectangular box, fiddled with it somehow, and the voice of Chen Mobai emerged from within, astonishing everyone present.


    ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll come over with him right away,¡± Chu Zuoshu replied after answering the call.


    After he finished the call, Chu Zuoshu looked up at Kong Shanxu who was on his left. Kong Shanxu had also heard the contents and, after straightening his attire and ensuring there were no issues, nodded at Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, Kong Shixiong and I will go to meet the three Ancestors. Later, there will be Rank-2 Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine cultivated personally by Elder Chen on offer. Meng Shixiong, please help entertain the guests for me,¡± Chu Zuoshu addressed those present.


    Meng Hong had arrived today too, and seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, he was exceptionally pleased, glowing with health.


    His rapport with several Foundation Establishment families from Jian Country was excellent; he laughed heartily at the side, boasting that it was under his term as Sect Leader that Chen Mobai came to the Divine Wood Sect, taking the credit for himself.


    Following Chu Zuoshu¡¯s departure, Meng Hong walked up to the main seat with a smile, continuing his boasts.


    Meanwhile, Ye Bopei of Back to Sky Valley watched Kong Shanxu fly away, his brow slightly furrowed.


    He was anxious.


    Now that the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff together have four Golden Core Cultivators, will they re-integrate into the Five Elements Sect?


    If Zhou Shengqing reaches ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± then by that time, the Divine Wood Sect having absorbed the Five Elements Sect would become so powerful that it might even surpass the era when Ancestor Hunyuan was present.


    Should that happen, what would our Back to Sky Valley and other powers in the Eastern Wilderness do?


    Amidst his worries, Ye Bopei glanced at the veiled Xue Ting beside him, considering whether he should talk with this Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace first. If both parties proceed or retreat together, it would make the Divine Wood Sect pay them more respect.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai and the other two, who were enjoying their tea, naturally had no idea that summoning Kong Shanxu had triggered such concerns among Back to Sky Valley and other forces in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle-Master Mobai, Uncle-Master Fu, and Uncle-Master Chen!¡±


    After Kong Shanxu arrived, he greeted Chen Mobai and the others with the courtesy due from a junior.


    ¡°The initial separation was a matter of necessity, but after all, we come from the same lineage. Go back and inform Brother Zhou Ye: do not be misled by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace any longer.¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s words left Kong Shanxu with a wry smile. Though he held a high position within the Five Elements Sect, he dared not respond to such a matter in front of Golden Core Cultivators.


    ¡°I will certainly report back to my Sect Leader after I return.¡±


    ¡°The Five Elements Meridians connect like limbs of one body. This Eastern Wilderness was won by Primordial Ancestral Master; even if it decays in our hands, we can¡¯t let outsiders take it, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Uncle-Master speaks truly. Nevertheless, it would be best if the Elders and Uncle-Masters themselves discussed this matter with the Sect Leader face to face. I can only relay the message.¡±


    Kong Shanxu, ever cautious, managed to respond without slipping in front of the three Golden Core oppressors.


    ¡°We¡¯re just reminding you. If you want to talk, let Zhou Ye come to the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Fu Zongjue seemed to have a rather negative impression of the Golden Core Ancestor from the Five Elements Sect, and his tone had become much less polite by this point.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Kong Shanxu didn¡¯t dare agree and could only stand there awkwardly, wiping his sweat.


    ¡°I happen to have some business in the Ming Nation, so Nephew Kong, please pass on a message. Set a time when Brother Zhou can come over for a face-to-face talk.¡±


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai spoke.


    The last known location of his missing junior disciple was at the Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation. He had not dared to go there before due to the menacing attention from Zhao Xuankang and others outside.


    Now, with the Purple Electric Sword in hand, he could traverse the Eastern Wilderness unhindered and was free to search for Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, this is my Message Talisman. Uncle-Master Chen, when you come to Hunyuan Immortal City, just call for me.¡±


    Kong Shanxu, feeling relieved, handed a talisman to Chen Mobai and was then led away by Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°Does Brother Fu have a grudge against that Brother Zhou Ye?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Do you know why our Five Elements Sect¡¯s five meridians ended up separating?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Brother Zhou Shengqing originally thought he would inherit the Five Elements Sect and Hunyuan Immortal City, but right before the old ancestor passed away in meditation, he designated Brother Zhou Ye as the successor. Dissatisfied, the former proposed to divide the sect.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the official story.¡±


    The one speaking now was Mo Douguang, who narrowed his eyes as if recalling the scene from those days, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion.


    ¡°Before the Sect Leader passed away in meditation, he asked us to expend sixty years¡¯ worth of our foundational spiritual power to help our Junior Brother Zhou Ye cultivate that Primordial Dao Fruit. Brother Nu Jiang and Sister Sheng, although unwilling, didn¡¯t want to defy the Sect Leader¡¯s final wishes. Only I and Brother Zhou Shengqing, being somewhat more straightforward, refused to agree even as the Sect Leader was taking his last breath.¡±

 Chapter 945 - Chapter 945 I love you

    Chapter 945: I love you Chapter 945: I love you ¡°After our master passed away in meditation, Zhou Ye, holding our master¡¯s posthumous order, demanded our assistance in cultivating the Chaotic Dao Fruit,¡± said Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Naturally, Brother Zhou and I were unwilling, and we proposed a division of the sect. In response, Zhou Ye, holding the master¡¯s order, furiously denounced us as traitors.¡±


    ¡°What followed was a protracted war, which also involved Zhao Xuankang and a few other major sects from the Eastern Wilderness fanning the flames.¡±


    After Mo Douguang finished speaking, Chen Mobai finally understood the details of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s split.


    If they truly had offered sixty years of their original spiritual power, then the Sect¡¯s other Golden Core Cultivators would certainly have no hope of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    For Zhou Shengqing, a cultivator who could see a higher realm, this was something he would never be willing to do.


    No wonder he chose to split from the sect.


    It¡¯s difficult to say who was right and who was wrong in this matter.


    Since it was still unclear whether the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had any moves left, Mo Douguang, after finishing his tea, stayed in the Divine Wood Sect for a while longer.


    The place where he stayed was right in front of the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in closed-door cultivation, which also allowed him an opportunity to feel the aura of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After the Core Formation celebration ended, Chen Mobai received an encrypted message from the Heavenly Communication Device sent by Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°The Luo family?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised; Luo Sancai should have the insight to know why Chen Mobai chose only Liu Jingxian at the ceremony.


    To curry favor with a Golden Core Cultivator like himself, Luo Sancai had really put his pride aside.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to agree to him, nor to prevent the Luo family from sending people to the Divine Wood Sect. In the future, if the opportunity arises, either you or Wen Bo could accept Xuan¡¯s nieces and nephews as your disciples,¡± Chen Mobai thought and decided.


    Although his little disciple harbored a lot of resentment towards her family, after all, the resources from her early cultivation years came from the Lou family; she can¡¯t forget the kindness of being raised.


    Now that his little disciple had disappeared, as her master, he still had to look out for the Lou family.


    Following Zhuo Ming, Liu Wenbo also rushed to visit in a hurry.


    At the end of the Core Formation grand ceremony, the Divine Wood Sect presented all the guests with spirit wine and Spiritual Rice from the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    The spirit wine was laid out in four large vats, ranging from Lower-grade Rank-2 to Upper-grade Rank-2; the most precious vat was made from Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, nearly a Rank-3 spirit wine.


    There were even more types of Spiritual Rice, as Zhuo Ming had tried hundreds of hybrid species over these past twenty years, and more than ten Rank-2 varieties had been cultivated, but the most suitable for large-scale cultivation was still the Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    The style of self-service spirit wine tasting and taking Spiritual Rice as they pleased amazed all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Eastern Wilderness; the flavor of the spirit wine, which was better than anything available in the Eastern Wilderness, instantly conquered everyone.


    The presence of so many unseen Rank-2 Spiritual Rice varieties also greatly shocked all the powers in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The complete method of cultivating Rank-2 Spiritual Rice isn¡¯t even accessible to every major sect in the East Wilderness.


    Wasn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect supposed to only have Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice?


    When they learned that these results were the product of Elder Chen and his disciple¡¯s hard work and experimentation over more than twenty years, everyone was amazed by Chen Mobai¡¯s talent.


    Wasn¡¯t he a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius?


    How could his talent in spirit plants be even more astonishing than his mastery of the Sword Dao?


    Indeed worthy of the Saint Heir selected by the Ancient Changsheng Sect!


    As everyone marveled, Meng Hong announced that Elder Chen was willing to sell the seedlings of these Spiritual Rice to any forces and sects interested in planting them.


    At this announcement, everyone present was extremely excited.


    But with their vast experience, they knew well that nothing good in this world comes for free.


    As they awaited the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s stringent conditions, Liu Jingxian, who had already been instructed, immediately stepped forward, expressing the Liu family¡¯s desire to purchase the seedlings of the Flower Rice Spirit Rice from the Divine Wood Sect.


    This Flower Rice Spirit Rice was a variety that needed paddy Spiritual Land to grow and was considered a failed product in Zhuo Ming¡¯s attempts at developing Rank-3 Spiritual Rice over the years.


    However, even though this Spiritual Rice was a failure for Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, it was almost a priceless treasure for the Liu family.


    Their family¡¯s paddy fields were all waterfields, which due to the abundance of water, even the cultivation of Jade Bud Spirit Rice would often result in the plants drowning and dying.


    By introducing this Flower Rice Spirit Rice, their family¡¯s paddy fields could be utilized fully, and they might even be able to cultivate Rank-2 Spiritual Rice.


    Purchasing these seedlings wouldn¡¯t require any cost in Spirit Stones, they just needed to give three-tenths of the mature harvest to the Divine Wood Sect.


    This right to use the seedlings would be tentatively set for ten years.


    If after ten years the Divine Wood Sect was dissatisfied with the yield of the Flower Rice Spirit Rice grown by the Liu family, they might choose to stop supplying the seedlings.


    Liu Jingxian was acting as a middleman, and everyone could see it.


    Apart from the Liu family, several core families from Jian Country associated with the Divine Wood Sect had also previously received internal signals and one by one stood out, claiming the Spiritual Rice seedlings that best suited their own families.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Eastern Wilderness, who were practically cunning themselves, decided after some deliberation to wait and see for a few years.


    Of course, there were still some families outside of Jian Country who, after leaving the Divine Wood Sect, came back secretly to negotiate for some seedlings.


    The Divine Wood Sect uniformly refused them.


    If they wanted to cooperate with the Divine Wood Sect, they must do so openly, making it known to all of the Eastern Wilderness.


    The patriarch of the Lou family from Yun Country, who had not understood the reason at first, suddenly realized the implications on his way back when he heard that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had once again sent people to seize the Bao Se Mountain of Yan Country.

 Chapter 946 - Chapter 946 I love you

    Chapter 946: I love you Chapter 946: I love you ¡°`


    Divine Wood Sect is making them choose sides.


    As long as they accept the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Rice seedlings, it¡¯s clear in the eyes of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace that they would be a vassal family to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Luckily, they were cautious; otherwise, they would have plunged headfirst into the collision of the two great forces, and in the future, if the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to attack, the Lou family could be easily wiped out over such an incident.


    It wasn¡¯t just the Lou family ancestors who realized this point.


    The Foundation Establishment practitioners not tempted by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Rice seedlings all felt fortunate that their Dao Heart was firm.


    ¡­


    Seven days later, Yue Zutao, the Town Guard of Rock Country, returned personally.


    ¡°Xuan Shu has reopened the Nanxuan sect!¡±


    After hearing this news, Chen Mobai and the others exchanged glances, simultaneously heaving a sigh of relief.


    Fu Zongjue, ¡°That Great Elder of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace really couldn¡¯t bear to part with his own lifespan. As long as ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ does not come, we still have room to maneuver.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°And what about Zhao Xuankang?¡±


    Yue Zutao: ¡°To report to Elder Chen, this reopening of the Nanxuan sect has temporarily not shown Zhao Xuankang¡¯s presence, but considering his level of understanding of the Eastern Wilderness, it¡¯s impossible for him not to come. He is likely hiding in the background, planning to cooperate with Xuan Shu, one in the open and one in the dark.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, ¡°It¡¯s nothing more than the original Nanxuan Jing being replaced by Xuan Shu. The pattern of Rock Country and Sky Country remains unchanged. It is the same as before. If you encounter a Golden Core Cultivator who shamelessly strikes at you, just immediately abandon the territories of the two countries and return to the sect.¡±


    After discussing for a while, the three Golden Core Cultivators quickly came to the decision to wait and see how things would unfold.


    Although no Nascent Soul came from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Xuan Shu was also considered the most top-notch Golden Core below them. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai using the Purple Electric Sword to drive him away, Giant Tree Ridge might have already been blocked by him alone.


    Now for Divine Wood Sect, the biggest task is to guard Zhou Shengqing during his Nascent Soul Formation. For this matter, even if it means surrendering all territory beyond Giant Tree Ridge, it is tolerable.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll head back to Golden Cliff first, call me if you need anything.¡±


    Having confirmed there was nothing else concerning him, Mo Douguang directly left Giant Tree Ridge using the Teleportation Array.


    After sending him off, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue immediately instructed Chu Zuoshu to convene a grand assembly of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, to pass down their directives for the time to come.


    Among them, the spread of the Spirit Rice seedlings was deemed particularly important.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first step in trying to change the Eastern Wilderness. However, the reason used was to have the Foundation Establishment forces outside the Divine Wood Sect side with them.


    To this, both Fu Zongjue and Chu Zuoshu even felt that the strategy was extremely exquisite.


    Since this grand assembly of the Divine Wood Sect was the first since Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, everyone was very clear about its importance.


    Apart from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, the Town Guards of various countries also rushed to attend upon receiving the news.


    ¡°E Yun, long time no see.¡±


    When E Yun returned, still pondering over how to interact with Chen Mobai, his old friend, Yuan Chiye, who had returned earlier, had already come to find him.


    ¡°Yuan Junior Brother, I heard Elder Chen recommended you to be the Town Guard of Rainbow Country, congratulations.¡±


    Aside from the positions of real authority in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, commanding a country as a Town Guard was the most influential in terms of gathering cultivation resources.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just because the sect has just taken over Rainbow Country, there¡¯s no specific selection process for Town Guard yet. So, Elder Chen let me stand in as a Town Guard. After this sect assembly, perhaps a highly esteemed senior brother or senior sister will take my place.¡±


    Yuan Chiye was very clear about his own weight; it was simply because among the group of Foundation Establishment practitioners who stayed in Rock Country, he and Chen Mobai were the most familiar.


    ¡°Junior Brother is being modest. Since Elder Chen has spoken for you, then among the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, no one will make things difficult over this matter.¡±


    Compared to Yuan Chiye, E Yun was even clearer about the operational rules of the Divine Wood Sect system.


    The word of a Golden Core Cultivator is everything.


    Although Chen Mobai had only recently achieved Core Formation, as a supreme sword cultivator, he vanquished Nanxuan Jing and repelled Xuan Shu with Purple Lightning. His combat power was so formidable that he could be said to be the first in the Eastern Wilderness.


    As long as Fu Zongjue does not speak against it, within the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the Divine Wood Sect, definitely no one dares to defy Chen Mobai.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that I fear some senior brothers and sisters may not be willing to accept this.¡±


    ¡°`


    Yuan Chiye smiled wryly as he spoke; E Yun thought for a moment before he also understood what he meant.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, there were still a few elders whose bodies had passed their peak years yet had broken through to the late phase of Foundation Establishment. Their belief in wanting to achieve Core Formation surpassed that of all others.


    On ordinary days, they would mostly gather at Yun Meng Ze, all for a slim chance at Core Formation.


    And after Chen Mobai rose to prominence and succeeded in Core Formation, they all thought about how to attract the attention of this new elder.


    The matter of Yuan Chiye acting as the Town Guard for Rainbow Country was very suitable for them to use as an excuse to draw Elder Chen¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take it one step at a time.¡±


    Though E Yun was clear about Chen Mobai¡¯s character, after the latter¡¯s Core Formation, E Yun did not dare to measure a Golden Core Cultivator by his own thoughts and could only speak to Yuan Chiye in this manner.


    At this time, a Foundation Establishment practitioner came to visit.


    ¡°Greetings to E Shixiong and Yuan Shixiong.¡±


    The visitor was very familiar to them; he was Chen Mobai¡¯s eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo¨Cwho used to be under their command when he just came out of Bud Hall.


    Back then, E Yun felt that given Liu Wenbo¡¯s potential, he would at most be a lineage inheritor; Foundation Establishment seemed impossible.


    But unexpectedly, after becoming a disciple under Elder Chen, he was now at the same realm as them.


    ¡°Please have a seat, Liu Shidi.¡±


    E Yun invited him courteously. However, Liu Wenbo shook his head and uttered a sentence that made the two of them tense.


    ¡°My master is currently in the courtyard of Divine Wood City; he¡¯s sent me to invite both Shixiong over for a talk.¡±


    ¡°Liu Shidi, lead the way.¡±


    E Yun and Yuan Chiye dared not keep a Golden Core Cultivator waiting and immediately followed Liu Wenbo to the familiar place.


    This courtyard was the sect privilege that E Yun had helped arrange for Chen Mobai when he had just achieved Foundation Establishment. Afterwards, the three of them had also drunk quite a lot of wine here.


    Upon entering the gate, they saw the back of a young man in front of a greenish-blue Spirit Tree, pointing and discussing something.


    There was also a young girl in village attire by the youth¡¯s side; the two seemed to be discussing Spirit Plant techniques.


    ¡°We pay respects to Elder Chen.¡±X2


    As soon as E Yun and Yuan Chiye arrived, they paid their respects to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need to be so formal among the three of us.¡±


    Although it was impossible to change the custom within the Tianhe Realm that dictated seniority by Cultivation Realm, Chen Mobai still tried to follow the habits he had cultivated since childhood in the Immortal Gate when dealing with his own people.


    Zhuo Ming immediately extended her hand and pointed at the ground where the soil swelled and shaped into a round table and several stools on its own.


    After inviting E Yun and Yuan Chiye to sit down, Liu Wenbo had already brought out a large jar of Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine from the courtyard storeroom.


    ¡°Chu Shizhi told me a few days ago that he wanted to enter retreat to comprehend Nascent Soul and was thinking of stepping down from the Sect Leader position.¡±


    After the three had drunk their first cup, Chen Mobai said something that made the expressions of E Yun and Yuan Chiye change dramatically.


    ¡°Who does Elder have in mind to take over?¡±


    Suppressing the tumult in his heart, E Yun put down his cup and asked Chen Mobai.

    ¡°Naturally, my inclination is towards you, but your two competitors are just too strong. King Zhou has an outstanding record of meritorious deeds, and Fu Shixiong¡¯s disciple, Hong He, is at the late phase of Foundation Establishment. Compared to them, even with my support, you still have no advantage whatsoever.¡±


    Chen Mobai forthrightly expressed his thoughts to his friend, E Yun.


    Owing to the refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s resignation to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation came much earlier than previously scheduled, by more than a decade.


    He had sensed E Yun¡¯s aura, and although he was now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, it seemed quite unsteady for assuming the position of Sect Leader.


    ¡°I ask for Elder¡¯s guidance!¡±

 Chapter 947 - Chapter 947 Chapter 521 The Most Rule-Abiding

    Chapter 947: Chapter 521: The Most Rule-Abiding Chapter 947: Chapter 521: The Most Rule-Abiding Chen Mobai had always distinguished clearly between gratitude and grudges.


    Back when he was in the Qi Cultivation stage, if it hadn¡¯t been for E Yun¡¯s intervention, who killed a group from the South Mountain Thieves, Chen Mobai might not have entered the Divine Wood Sect that easily.


    And after he joined the sect, E Yun took great care of him, a kindness which Chen Mobai always firmly kept in his heart.


    While both were in the Foundation Establishment stage, they were stationed in different countries to guard them, so there were few opportunities to help each other.


    Now that Chen Mobai reached the Core Formation stage, he felt he could finally repay E Yun for his kindness.


    ¡°If you wish to become the Sect Leader, I will certainly support you with all my strength,¡± he said.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, E Yun felt an unprecedented surge of emotion welling up from the bottom of his heart.


    In the treacherous Eastern Wilderness, men who valued loyalty and deep relationships like Chen Mobai were rare. E Yun felt extremely fortunate to have encountered one in his lifetime.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I have already inquired about Hong He. He sets his sights on higher realms and does not want to occupy his time with being the Sect Leader before his cultivation level hits a bottleneck.¡±


    As a genius whose talent was only second to Chen Mobai within the Divine Wood Sect, Hong He¡¯s goal was definitely Core Formation. So, when Chen Mobai asked him, his intentions were very clear.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Zhou Wangshen, on the other hand, is different. He is determined to secure the position of Sect Leader. With Brother Zhou¡¯s influence, I would rather not say too much.¡±


    On hearing this, E Yun¡¯s face showed a slight hint of joy: ¡°So, there¡¯s only one competitor.¡±


    To this, Chen Mobai shook his head: ¡°Although Hong He himself is not interested in the position of Sect Leader, being the direct disciple of Fu Shixiong, the group from Penalty Evil Hall will rally around him to compete for the position, and he cannot refuse.¡±


    The fact that Hong He had been able to cultivate to such a realm wasn¡¯t only due to his outstanding talent; the support from Penalty Evil Hall was significant as well.


    Even if Hong He himself didn¡¯t want it, these people would push him to the fore to compete for the Sect Leader¡¯s position for their own benefit.


    The current situation had become quite clear.


    Shenmu Hall, Penalty Evil Hall, and Reward Virtue Hall each supported one candidate, hoping to lift their own man to the position of the Sect Leader after Chu Zuoshu¡¯s retirement.


    Among them, as a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai currently held a very influential voice but still needed to consider Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue who were in seclusion.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident that with a firm stance, he could certainly push E Yun to the Sect Leader¡¯s position,


    doing so would sow the seeds of internal division and might even incite extremist reactions from the other two factions, potentially becoming a cause of internal strife should the sect encounter adversity in battle one day.


    ¡°Among the three of you, you have the least chance of taking the position, while Hong He has the greatest. Having earned considerable merits over the past decade, Zhou Wangshen is regarded as the most decorated among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the sect, and with the support of the most profound Shenmu Hall and the Zhou family, he can contend with Hong He.¡±


    In comparison, E Yun¡¯s years stationed in Yun Country and parts of Yun Meng Ze¡¯s Fang Market, although he increased the sect¡¯s income of Spirit Stones, seemed somewhat modest next to the achievements of Hong He and Zhou Wangshen.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also realized this and have applied to the sect to join the frontline battlefield, but unfortunately, I¡¯ve never received the sect¡¯s orders.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s face darkened as he spoke.


    The Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t called up E Yun for any of the last three wars they waged, but it wasn¡¯t just him; Hong He was also left out.


    The reason was easy to guess.


    It was certainly the Zhou family¡¯s doing, pushing the priority of drafting both of them to the very end.


    However, at that time, both Hong He and E Yun were merely at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and their presence might not have turned the tides of battle, so the Zhou family¡¯s arrangement, even unnoticed by the likes of Chu Zuoshu and other high-ranking members of the Divine Wood Sect, went unchallenged.


    ¡°Since they operate within the rules, I can¡¯t blame them. For the upcoming Sect Leader election in the Divine Wood Sect, I will only help you within the confines of the sect¡¯s rules and will not break them for your sake, as the consequences would be too great.¡±


    Chen Mobai would not forget his ideals to gradually improve the Eastern Wilderness with the rules of the Immortal Gates and turn it into a smaller version of the same.


    And the essence of the Immortal Gates was an intricate network of laws.


    E Yun: ¡°Then how should I compete with the two Senior Brothers?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking it over, and I can¡¯t figure out a way to elevate you to their level in a short time.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, E Yun couldn¡¯t help but let out a wry laugh, feeling he was without hope.


    ¡°So, I¡¯ve decided to help you delay it for another twenty years. If twenty years aren¡¯t enough, then sixty years, a hundred years, until your cultivation level and merits can match or even surpass those of Hong He and Zhou Wangshen.¡±


    Just as E Yun was about to lift his cup in resignation, hoping to drown his sorrows in alcohol, Chen Mobai¡¯s words stunned him.


    What did this mean?

    Zhou family.


    As the family of Zhou Shengqing, while they have always kept a low profile, they are undeniably the foremost family of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Besides the five practitioners of Foundation Establishment within the family itself, at least half of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions have been graced by Zhou Shengqing or the Zhou family.


    And these individuals extended their influence outward, their connections intricately covering almost the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    Just consider that both the preceding and incumbent Sect Leaders, Meng Hong, and Chu Zuoshu, were disciples of Zhou Shengqing, and one can imagine the extent of the Zhou family¡¯s profound influence.

 Chapter 948 - Chapter 948 Chapter 521 The Most Rule-Abiding_2

    Chapter 948: Chapter 521 The Most Rule-Abiding_2 Chapter 948: Chapter 521 The Most Rule-Abiding_2 ¡°`


    It was precisely because of this that Zhou Wangshen was always brimming with confidence about becoming the Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect.


    So what if Hong He¡¯s cultivation level was higher? His contributions to the Sect were minimal, nothing compared to Zhou Wangshen¡¯s life-and-death struggles in Rock Country.


    Although the announcement of Chu Zuoshu stepping down was extremely sudden, the Zhou family still managed to devise a series of plans for Zhou Wangshen¡¯s competition for Sect Leader in record time.


    The only variable in this plan was the Nascent Soul Ancestor.


    Under the circumstance of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s retreat into seclusion, even if all Three Halls and Twelve Divisions supported Zhou Wangshen, without the approval of Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai, it would be very difficult for him to rightfully become the Sect Leader.


    ¡°Will Elder Fu descend from his position to support his own disciple?¡±


    The Foundation Establishment practitioner Zhou Junzhi from the Zhou family asked somewhat worriedly.


    ¡°He won¡¯t. As long as we don¡¯t go overboard and win the election fairly and squarely, Elder Fu will not throw away his dignity for the sake of Hong He.¡±


    Although a Golden Core Cultivator in the Sect possesses power to turn the heavens and the earth, Divine Wood Sect after all has three Golden Cores, and Fu Zongjue cannot command absolute authority. In the grand scheme of things, he most certainly would not forsake his dignity for the mere position of Sect Leader.


    The Zhou family¡¯s Great Elder Zhou Junxian had a deep understanding of Fu Zongjue. It was unfortunate that he himself had failed to form his Core, left with only a crippled body, while Fu Zongjue had survived the tribulation.


    The two were like the best of sworn brothers, and his analysis of Fu Zongjue was met with nods from everyone present.


    ¡°Then what about Elder Chen?¡±


    The Zhou family didn¡¯t know much about this newly emerged Nascent Soul Ancestor of Divine Wood Sect. Although they had heard of his legendary Sword Dao genius, they thought that if he wanted to form his Core, he would at least have to wait his turn until after Chu Zuoshu.


    By that time, the Zhou family would have ample time to build a harmonious relationship with him.


    Who could have expected that in a short span of just over twenty years, while the Foundation Establishment members of the Zhou family hadn¡¯t even begun to focus on Chen Mobai, he had already successfully formed his Core while abroad.


    That was just too fast!


    ¡°When I was in Rock Country, I followed Elder Chen many times in life-and-death situations. I have a fair understanding of his character. The thing that Elder Chen values most is rules. When arranging troops and formations, if anyone disobeys his orders, the penalty is always death without mercy. So as long as we act by the rules, he might even support me in becoming the Sect Leader,¡± Zhou Wangshen said.


    As the youngest Foundation Establishment practitioner in the Zhou family and the only direct descendant now showing signs of Core Formation, his words carried weight second only to the Great Elder.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it would be for the best,¡± the other Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Zhou family said, nodding in agreement after hearing this. They felt that it was almost certain Zhou Wangshen would become the new Sect Leader.


    The day of the Sect¡¯s grand assembly quickly arrived.


    In addition to the upper echelons of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, all Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were not in seclusion at Giant Tree Ridge were summoned by the Sect Leader¡¯s decree.


    All forty-two Foundation Establishment Practitioners sat solemnly and respectfully behind their desks, waiting.


    After Chu Zuoshu, acting as Sect Leader, finished paying his respects in the direction of the three Everlife Woods, everyone rose and followed his lead in shouting.


    ¡°We welcome the descent of the Ancestor!¡±


    Two vast streams of Spiritual Light rose from two of the Everlife Woods. In an extremely short period of time, they soared into the sky. Approaching from afar, they descended upon the space above Shenmu Hall before plunging straight into the hall.


    As the Spiritual Light dissipated, a handsome young man and a delicate-looking youth emerged.


    It was Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai!


    ¡°We pay our respects to the Ancestors!¡±


    In the face of the grand salute from the forty-two Foundation Establishment Practitioners below, Chen Mobai gestured for Fu Zongjue to proceed, who in turn unceremoniously ordered Chu Zuoshu to start the day¡¯s grand assembly.


    ¡°The Sect is depleted of Spirit Stones in the treasury after the great battle with Rock Country. The budget for each division needs to be reduced¡­¡±


    ¡°The Alchemy Department is preparing to refine Demonic beast Foundation Building Pills. Many auxiliary herbs need to be purchased from the major families of the Eastern Wilderness. If the budget is cut, the Elixirs won¡¯t be made. Just cut other divisions, the Alchemy Department cannot be cut¡­¡±


    ¡°In response to Elder Chen¡¯s call in the past twenty years, the Spirit Plant Division has reclaimed wasteland to grow Spirit Rice. Now we are already severely short-staffed to tend to the medicinal and Spirit Fields. We need a significant amount of Spirit Stones to hire Sect Disciples to look after the Spirit Plants. If the budget is cut, wouldn¡¯t it ruin Elder Chen¡¯s plans for the Spirit Rice? Absolutely not¡­¡±


    ¡°The Puppet Division is repairing Elder Fu¡¯s Purple Sun Puppet¡­¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Beast Division¡­¡±


    ¡°The Body Forging Division¡­¡±


    ¡°`


    The Sect Conference was convened, and Luo Xue¡¯er, the Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall and the keeper of the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone Bag, was the first to stand up. She began to propose an internal cost-saving scheme as she had reported to Chen Mobai the previous night.


    But no sooner had she finished than her proposal was resisted by virtually all departments.


    Moreover, their objections were neither for the sect¡¯s welfare nor did they concern the two elders above.


    The implication was clear; the cuts must not affect them.


    ¡°We ask the two ancestors to discern that the treasury now has only enough Spirit Stones to last half a year. It is estimated that it will take three and a half years of deficit to recover from the commercial and vein revenues to achieve a balanced budget,¡± Luo Xue¡¯er persisted doggedly, despite being opposed by all departments.


    Normally, a proposal that faced collective opposition would be directly dismissed, but Luo Xue¡¯er refused to give up and brought it to the attention of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors.


    In order to check the powers of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, rejected proposals could be reported to the elders.


    However, since the founding of the Divine Wood Sect, no one had ever done so.


    It was an unspoken rule to handle matters without troubling the Nascent Soul Ancestors.


    Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s actions now indicated how desperate the situation was; the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s supply of Spirit Stones had truly run out, and she had no other options.


    ¡°Besides Spirit Stones, what other resources are abundant within the sect?¡± asked Chen Mobai, seated at the top right.


    Luo Xue¡¯er replied, ¡°Thanks to Elder Chen¡¯s efforts in the production of Spirit Rice, the storerooms are now filled with various types of Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai added another rule to the sect¡¯s regulations; ¡°If one opts to receive Spirit Rice in place of the annual Spirit Stone stipend, an additional ten percent shall be given as compensation.¡±


    With this suggestion, it was naturally approved by a unanimous vote.


    Chu Zuoshu, who had Chen Mobai¡¯s support, took the lead as the Sect Leader and decided to forgo his entire annual stipend for the year to help the sect through its difficulties.


    Upon his declaration, everyone stared at him¨Cif looks could kill, Chu Zuoshu would have been riddled with holes by now.


    ¡°This disciple is also willing to give up this year¡¯s Spirit Stones,¡± the second to speak was Zhou Wangshen.


    Following him, the Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Zhou family enthusiastically agreed, willing to forego not just one year but the next three years if necessary.


    The other Foundation Establishment Practitioners finally understood why they had been called, and though they found themselves in an awkward position, they felt compelled to offer their support as well.


    After this round of declarations, six out of the forty-two Foundation Establishment practitioners in the Shenmu Hall remained indifferent, acting as if they hadn¡¯t heard a thing.


    Chen Mobai exchanged a look with Fu Zongjue, nodded, and said, ¡°My fellow disciples are willing to risk their lives for the sect; how can we ask you to incur further costs? Let¡¯s issue I.O.U.s for the Spirit Stones, which can be redeemed once the sect¡¯s finances have recovered.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the six Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had not spoken up underwent a subtle change of expression.


    But before they had a chance to argue, Chu Zuoshu put forth his intention to step down as Sect Leader.


    ¡°This disciple wishes to attempt Core Formation and seeks the blessing of the two ancestors.¡±


    It was for this reason that all Foundation Establishment practitioners who had their eyes on Core Formation aspired to be Sect Leader.


    ¡°Agreed!¡± Fu Zongjue nodded his assent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Honored ancestors, with my resignation, the sect cannot remain leaderless for even a day. The Town Guard of Sky Country, Zhou Wangshen, is young and promising, with distinguished achievements, and he is suitable to succeed me as Sect Leader,¡± Chu Zuoshu stated, attempting to repay the Zhou family for their favors in his final moments and recommending Zhou Wangshen as the new leader.


    With these words, more than half of the people in the Shenmu Hall, along with those from the Zhou family and the Alchemy Department, supported Zhou Wangshen.


    Seeing this, Quan Shanlin, the Vice Hall Master of Penalty Evil Hall who had hopes of promoting Hong He to compete with Zhou Wangshen, let out a sigh, sensing that the tide had turned.


    ¡°Zhou Shizhi is still a bit too young. In my opinion, someone else would be more suitable as Sect Leader under the current circumstances of the sect,¡± said Chen Mobai abruptly.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s expression shifted subtly upon hearing this, contemplating whether to stop Chen Mobai¡¯s forthright approach. However, Chen Mobai stood up and walked over to the Sect Leader¡¯s designated spot.

 Chapter 949 - Chapter 949 Chapter 522 The First Order of the New Policy

    Chapter 949: Chapter 522: The First Order of the New Policy Chapter 949: Chapter 522: The First Order of the New Policy ¡°Just as the sect faces an unprecedented time, I feel that I am very suitable to become the Sect Leader and lead the sect through this special era.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone looked at him in shock.


    The cultivators of Eastern Wilderness always put cultivation first.


    Therefore, Golden Core Cultivators never take on the role of Sect Leader, because it would greatly hinder their cultivation.


    And the reason Foundation Establishment Practitioners are keen on it is that, within the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, there¡¯s an unspoken rule: if you want access to the sect¡¯s Core Formation resources, you must contribute a period of time to the sect.


    For instance, the two previous Sect Leaders of Divine Wood Sect, Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu, both received full support from Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    And Chen Mobai, despite being a Golden Core Cultivator, was willing to take on the role of Sect Leader; to the people of the Eastern Wilderness, it looked like he was exhausting himself for the sake of the sect.


    So when he uttered these words, it instantly shocked everyone present.


    ¡°If Elder Chen is willing to bestow such honor, indeed no one is more suitable than you.¡±


    After being stunned, Chu Zuoshu was the first to come to his senses and paid Sect Leader-level respect to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    As his words fell, the rest of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the Shenmu Hall also reacted.


    Seeing that Fu Zongjue showed no signs of interjection, everyone followed Chu Zuoshu in greeting the new Sect Leader.


    Meanwhile, E Yun and Yuan Chiye, who had been forewarned, were full of admiration, feeling that Elder Chen truly exemplified integrity.


    Among those present, only Zhou Wangshen had the most complex emotions.


    But with a Nascent Soul Ancestor becoming the Sect Leader, even Zhou Shengqing wouldn¡¯t object. Which Sect Leader among the entire Eastern Wilderness was of Core Formation level?


    From now on, at least in terms of Sect Leadership, their Divine Wood Sect would be the undisputed number one in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°I have no personal attachment to the position of Sect Leader. It is only because there is no one currently in our sect with a reliable cultivation level, such as Nephew Meng, Nephew Chu, thus I will take on this arduous task for the time being. Once Nephew Hong He, Nephew Zhou, Nephew E Yun, or any other Foundation Establishment individuals meet the criteria to be Sect Leader, I will step down and yield the position.¡±


    Hearing this from Chen Mobai, Zhou Wangshen felt a little better. Having made such a promise before so many witnesses, a promise from a Golden Core Ancestor, meant that he still had a chance to succeed as Sect Leader.


    In fact, this was a favorable turn for him. Since his cultivation level was not as high as Hong He¡¯s, even if he had forcibly assumed the position of Sect Leader today, many would not have acknowledged his legitimacy.


    They would think he relied solely on Zhou Shengqing and the Zhou family.


    Now with Elder Chen taking the Sect Leader position, as long as he could elevate his cultivation level during this period, even if he wasn¡¯t as advanced as Hong He, he could claim the position rightfully as long as he reached the Foundation Establishment Late Phase.


    ¡°May I inquire, Elder Chen, on how you think the criteria for the position of Sect Leader should be set?¡±


    Great Elder Zhou Junxian of the Zhou family spoke up at this point, seeing through the subtleties and suspecting that Chen Mobai was securing time for E Yun.


    If Chen Mobai never left the Sect Leader position, with the lifespan of a Golden Core Cultivator, he could easily outlive them all.


    Therefore, for the sake of the Zhou family, he boldly stepped forward to ask the question.


    Upon hearing the query, Chen Mobai smiled faintly and revealed the answer he had long contemplated.


    ¡°It just so happens that the selection criteria for the Sect Leader of our sect have always been vague, which is not conducive to motivating our cultivators. Today, I shall set some clear standards.¡±


    ¡°The Sect Leader is a figurehead; their cultivation level must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Late Phase, and their age cannot exceed one hundred years, ensuring that they are still in the peak years of their life after stepping down and can attempt Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the Sect Leader must have made contributions to the sect. The previous contribution threshold of one hundred thousand I find too low. From now on, let¡¯s raise it to two hundred thousand.¡± No sooner had he spoken than everyone¡¯s faces twitched slightly, yet none dared to object.


    ¡°Lastly, the Sect Leader must be capable. I propose that the town guards of the other six countries, aside from Jian Country, should all be candidates for the Sect Leader.¡±


    ¡°Previously, sect guards in the various countries were either padding their experience or leveraging the sect¡¯s name to gather resources from local families without truly developing those lands.¡±


    ¡°From this point forward, the town guards should run their territories as though they are managing a small sect. If the administration is clear, and the governance harmonious, it shows the potential for them to become Sect Leader and lead all seven countries without issue.¡±


    ¡°Of course, it is impossible to get things done without sufficient authority. Hereafter, in their respective national territories, the town guards¡¯ status shall be second only to the Sect Leader and The Three Great Halls, and ranked above the Twelve Divisions.¡±


    As Chen Mobai finished speaking, there was a stir among the division heads and vice-heads of the Twelve Divisions.


    How come six more people were suddenly ranking above them out of the blue?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even if this power only applied within the territories of the six countries, it still made them feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°Elder, if I were commanded by you to go to Yun Country to collect a certain herb but then the town guard of Yun Country ordered me to refine an elixir for him, should I refine it or not?¡±


    Zeng Woyou, a straightforward person from the Alchemy Department, stood up and voiced his concerns about the situation.


    ¡°Nephew Zeng¡¯s point is well taken. Let¡¯s say that within their respective territories, the town guards will be on equal footing with you division heads, shall we?¡±


    Chen Mobai was referencing the system used by the Immortal Gates, where the City Lords of blessed lands held a high degree of autonomy. Within the Immortal Gates, the only ones who could command them were the members of the Kaiyuan Hall and the masters and vice-masters of The Three Great Halls.

 Chapter 950 - Chapter 950 Chapter 522 New Policy First Order_2

    Chapter 950: Chapter 522 New Policy First Order_2 Chapter 950: Chapter 522 New Policy First Order_2 However, with only three Golden Core Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, there was a need to adapt and change the approach accordingly.


    If Chu Zuoshu had brought up this proposal, the Twelve Divisions would have unanimously rejected it long ago.


    A mere town guard is only a qualification to enter the Twelve Divisions; how suddenly had their status been elevated to equal that of theirs!


    With the rise in the authority of Town Guards, and The Three Great Halls remaining aloft, it meant that the powers of the Twelve Divisions were being reduced¨Ca simple truth that was easily understandable.


    Signed to oppose, but the current Sect Leader was a Nascent Soul Ancestor!


    ¡°I¡¯ll strictly follow the Sect Leader¡¯s decree.¡±


    After hesitating for a while, and without any sign that Fu Zongjue was going to speak, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Twelve Divisions had no choice but to unanimously pass the proposal.


    ¡°Given that, the position of Town Guard becomes extremely important. Apart from the Guard of the Founding Nation remaining unchanged, the other six nations will need to be re-examined.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not disturb the Guard of the Founding Nation for two reasons.


    First, the sect was located there; if the Town Guard were granted such authority, the friction with the Twelve Divisions would surely be plentiful, and it would ultimately be he, as Sect Leader, who¡¯d be vexed.


    Second, it was to avoid suspicions and prevent others from thinking that he was attempting to leverage this situation to elevate his disciple, Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°I was the Town Guard of Sky Country before and am willing to continue in this role, to protect the sect¡¯s border and counter the Nanxuan sect.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen promptly volunteered, though he originally wanted to choose Lei Nation because this country had been under the rule of the Divine Wood Sect for nearly a century and would be very easy to manage.


    However, this would not showcase his superior skills in governing. Moreover, he would be unable to use the Nanxuan sect to acquire contributions and merits. Therefore, after some thought, he decided to stick with Sky Country, where he had laid some foundation over the past decade.


    ¡°I am fair and just in my actions. This matter also needs to give all Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the sect a chance. Spread my proposal today to the other cultivators not in the sect. They, or even you all, if you have this intention, can participate in the election. One month later, all Foundation Establishment votes shall decide the position of Town Guards for the six nations.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, everyone present was startled.


    ¡°For this matter, the Sect Leader and Elder Fu can make the decision.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu spoke out with some trepidation.


    ¡°If there is a tie, or something beyond the rules, I and Senior Brother Fu will make the final decision. For the rest, you all need to play your role.¡±


    The confidence of the Golden Core Cultivators lay in their own cultivation levels, neither Chen Mobai nor Fu Zongjue really cared about these issues.


    And to put it bluntly, if they wanted to support someone, just by saying the word, at least half of the Foundation Establishment practitioners within the Divine Wood Sect would choose the person they mentioned.


    Inside Shenmu Hall, the Foundation Establishment practitioners had varied thoughts and left with indescribable expressions.


    Some heads of the Twelve Divisions even contemplated whether to give up their current positions to compete for the role of a nation¡¯s Town Guard.


    Any cultivator who had advanced to the Foundation Building Realm and held a high-ranking position was a shrewd thinker.


    Because, they saw a glimmer of hope for Core Formation in this.


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, groups of familiar Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered at their usual places and began discussing this matter.


    ¡­


    ¡°Junior Brother, with your exceptional talent, focusing on cultivation would be more beneficial for the sect.¡±


    After the sect conference concluded, only Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue remained in Shenmu Hall, and the latter advised the former.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother. Affairs of the sect won¡¯t affect my cultivation. Besides, once a genius like my nephew Chu emerges from the next generation, I will willingly hand over the leadership of the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words also made sense, as the Sect Leaders of the East Wilderness Major Sects were mostly at the peak of Foundation Establishment, at the very least in the late phase of Foundation Establishment.


    If Zhou Wangshen were appointed, the unenlightened Loose Cultivators and minor powers would probably believe that their Divine Wood Sect had no successors.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, Sect affairs will be taken care of by Junior Brother. I will continue to delve into the Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    For Fu Zongjue, the role of the Divine Wood Sect in aiding him was diminishing, and instead, it was their Golden Core Cultivators supporting and sustaining the sect.


    So, it was good news to him that Chen Mobai was willing to handle things.


    Soon after.


    The news that Chu Zuoshu had stepped down and Chen Mobai had taken over as Sect Leader quickly spread throughout the Divine Wood Sect.


    Many Qi Cultivating Disciples felt only one thing about this change, and that was more confidence when they left their abode.


    Because their own Sect Leader was a Nascent Soul Ancestor.


    The only one in the whole Eastern Wilderness!


    For the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, however, the proposal to elect the next Sect Leader caused a great uproar.


    ¡°Yan Shidi, are you really going to compete for the position of Town Guard?¡±


    Kou Canzhi, the head of the Body Forging Division, looked at the young Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him with his bronze skin and resolute face, feeling both alarmed and delighted.


    ¡°Kou Shixiong, I want to reach Core Formation. Although staying here would give me access to abundant Spirit Stone resources, at most, I would only end up outlasting you to take control of a division. Now that there¡¯s a better path, I want to give it a try.¡±


    The young man with bronze skin was named Yan Yuanhao. He had just celebrated his eightieth birthday, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.


    His other identity was that of deputy head of the Body Forging Division.


    In the recent battle between Rock Country and Nanxuan Sect, it was he who led the cultivators of the Body Forging Division on the bloodiest battlefield. On the brink of death, the image of Chen Mobai wielding Purple Electric Wild Thunder and transforming it into Sword Light to slay Nanxuan Jing had left a profound impression on him.


    Having survived the battlefield and witnessed the power of Core Formation, Yan Yuanhao longed even more for such a realm.


    Now with an openly fair competition, Yan Yuanhao was willing to give up his prospects within the Body Forging Division just to fight for a possibility.


    Not just Yan Yuanhao, the deputy heads of the Talisman Making Department and the Formation Division had also made the same decision.


    As had the Inspection Envoys and Inspectors of The Three Great Halls, and so on.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, any Foundation Establishment Practitioner who had conviction in reaching Core Formation was stirred to maximum enthusiasm by Chen Mobai¡¯s first decree as the new Sect Leader.


    ¡°Well said, well said. Take care, Mu Shixiong. When the master summons me, I will find an opportunity to speak¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo sent off another Sect Foundation Establishment visitor, scratching his head helplessly.


    He had not quite anticipated the significance of his status as Chen Mobai¡¯s Eldest Disciple.


    Lately, almost every Foundation Establishment Practitioner in the Divine Wood Sect who did not know him had used the Heavenly Communication Device to send him messages requesting to meet.


    It was the same for Zhuo Ming.


    However, Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t like socializing, and since she was a Female Cultivator, many people refrained from visiting her directly.


    It was different for Liu Wenbo. He managed the Little Nan Mountain Shop, and nearly everyone had his contact information. He found it difficult to refuse requests for meetings, so ever since Chen Mobai became Sect Leader, he had not had a single day of leisure.


    Many people wanted to pledge their loyalty to Chen Mobai through Liu Wenbo, assuring that they would do whatever the Sect Leader asked if he appointed them as a Town Guard.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai did not need such loyalty, and although Liu Wenbo was a simple and honest man, he would never actually bring such matters to Chen Mobai¡¯s attention.


    Seeing that his Heavenly Communication Device continued ringing endlessly, Liu Wenbo sighed, left a message for Chen Mobai, gathered his things, and made the excuse of managing the Little Nan Mountain Shop to also help his family plant rice back in Yun Country. He then took the Teleportation Array and left Giant Tree Ridge overnight.


    The next day, Qi Rui, who came to visit Liu Wenbo, saw the [Out] sign hanging on the door and looked troubled.


    Three years ago, he had successfully reached Foundation Establishment by taking a Foundation Building Pill left by Chen Mobai, and he had always wanted to thank him in person. Unfortunately, he had been outside the Sect on business prior to this.


    After learning about Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation and his succession as Sect Leader through the Sect¡¯s messages, Qi Rui was astonished. He completed his tasks as quickly as possible and hurried back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s current status was not the same as before, and after finishing his tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Qi Rui had headed straight for Liu Wenbo, hoping to request his assistance for an audience.


    Unfortunately, Liu Wenbo had slipped away a step ahead.


    Having no other choice, Qi Rui headed to Little Nan Mountain only to find that Zhuo Ming was also not there.

    ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t this Junior Brother Qi?¡±


    Just as Qi Rui was considering visiting Xi Jinghuo for information, a familiar voice called out to him.


    He turned around to see Yan Jinye from the Alchemy Department.


    They had met several times when Chen Mobai had gathered everyone for wine tasting in the past.


    ¡°Are you here for Zhuo Shimei? That¡¯s really unfortunate; she was taken by Sect Master Chen to Black Cloud Mountain today.¡±

 Chapter 951 - Chapter 951 523

    Chapter 951: 523 Chapter 951: 523 Yan Jinye was Zhuo Ming¡¯s closest friend within the sect, and even before the latter had started on her Foundation Establishment, the two would often discuss various new methods of brewing spiritual wine.


    This time, when Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming to Black Cloud Mountain to transplant the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree, she asked Yan Jinye to come over and help look after some of the precious spirit plants in Xiao Nanshan.


    Although most of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s spirit fields were planted with various kinds of Spirit Rice, there was one plant of Enlightenment White Tea that Chen Mobai had brought from the Immortal Sect.


    This was a new variety of tea that Wen Ren Xuewei had created to replicate the original Enlightenment Tea. Her own best plant had already reached Third Rank Superior Grade, and the one given to Chen Mobai was at the very least capable of being cultivated to Rank-3.


    In the years Chen Mobai spent in Core Formation, Zhuo Ming, using her divine skills of All Things Spiritual Communication, had combined this plant of Enlightenment White Tea with the earth¡¯s spiritual energy of Xiao Nanshan. Not only was the transplantation successful, but the plant was also growing robustly.


    With ample spiritual energy and the most suitable growing environment, the Enlightenment White Tea was now at a critical point of transformation.


    Once over this hurdle, the tea leaves it produced every year would be Rank-2.


    Although Zhuo Ming¡¯s investigation through All Things Spiritual Communication indicated that this transformation would continue for another half a year, given the tea¡¯s preciousness, she asked Yan Jinye to come over and take care of it while she was away.


    When Qi Rui arrived, he did not conceal his aura. Yan Jinye, who was tasked with watching over the place, immediately detected his presence and came out to greet him.


    The two, who had not met for a long time, started chatting at the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Though I originally thought Elder Chen was extraordinarily talented, I never imagined he would become the third Golden Core Cultivator in our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Naturally, their conversation drifted to Chen Mobai, the young loose cultivator they had met on Green Light Island. Qi Rui had many feelings and great respect for him.


    An unintentional act of kindness had rewarded him with an extremely valuable Foundation Building Pill, a lifeline for Qi Rui who had become rather despondent after a failed attempt at foundation establishment.


    ¡°Elder Chen is like a successor from a supreme holy land. Without his guidance on the method to resolve elixir poisoning, my cultivation level wouldn¡¯t have improved so swiftly.¡±


    Yan Jinye felt the same way. The Spirit Cultivation Method taught by Chen Mobai had greatly increased her success rate in elixir refinement.


    Although she rarely used elixir pills to improve her cultivation level because she had listened to Chen Mobai¡¯s teachings, she had traded the elixirs she refined for cultivation resources she needed, and now she was already at the peak of the early foundation stage.


    Among those of the same cohort who had established their foundations, she was second only to Chen Mobai and the three competing for the position of Sect Leader, including Hong He.


    As they chatted, they saw a pale red mist of clouds on the horizon, looking like a blazing fire sweeping across the sky, rapidly heading their way.


    To their astonishment, the Mountain Protection Array of Giant Tree Ridge didn¡¯t block it. Instead, it opened a gap, allowing the cloud of fire to pour in.


    ¡°Ah, Brother Qi is here too. Just wait a bit, and then I¡¯ll catch up with you both properly.¡±


    A familiar voice rang in their ears, and when Qi Rui looked up, he saw Chen Mobai standing atop the red misty clouds.


    With the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± Magic Artifact being pushed to its limits by Chen Mobai, it transformed into a vast red cloud mingled with pale blue vapor, carrying a gnarled peach tree with branches as robust as dragons towards the summit of Xiao Nanshan.


    A yellowish Spiritual Light from atop the cloud of red mist descended first; it was Zhuo Ming.


    Transplanting this Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain was something Chen Mobai had been thinking about for a long time. Now that his cultivation level was sufficient, and Zhuo Ming¡¯s mastery in spiritual planting complete, the master and disciple immediately proceeded with the action.


    Chen Mobai quickly brought the Immortal Peach Tree back to Giant Tree Ridge after uprooting it with all its roots from Black Cloud Mountain.


    ¡°Sister Yan, lend me a hand!¡±


    After descending from the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± Zhuo Ming immediately waved at Yan Jinye, who promptly joined her. The two sprinkled two large buckets of specially prepared Spiritual Water around the well-dug pit on the mountaintop, and then, with extraordinary strength, Chen Mobai slowly lowered the robust, dragon-like Immortal Peach Tree with pinpoint accuracy into the center of the pit.


    After completing these steps, Zhuo Ming used her Mother Earth Cultivation technique to connect the plant¡¯s spiritual energy to the earth.


    Transplanting a whole Rank-3 spirit plant was a significant burden for Xiao Nanshan, considering its Spirit Vein Level was only just maintaining a Rank-3 after opening up several spirit fields.


    However, precious spirit plants could grow symbiotically with spirit veins.


    For example, this Immortal Peach Tree, due to its role in suppressing the earth¡¯s spirit vein and gathering spiritual energy, made the existence of a Rank-3 Spirit Vein in Black Cloud Mountain possible.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This is why Chen Mobai decided to transplant the Immortal Peach Tree intact to Xiao Nanshan, instead of turning it into a spirit plant seed and taking it into his Golden Core Domain.


    The Kindwood Mantra he had obtained from the Talent Tree allowed him to turn mature spirit plants into seeds, ensuring the success of the transplant. However, the energy within the seeds would need to be gradually stimulated over a long time to regrow into its former Grade.


    This time, the transplant of the Immortal Peach Tree was in its original form to suppress and enhance the spiritual energy, thereby uplifting the Spirit Vein Level of Xiao Nanshan.


    The source of the Spirit Vein in Giant Tree Ridge was once suppressed by Ancestor Hunyuan using three Everlife Woods, which assisted him in refining the Longevity Technique.


    After the Earth Mother lifted the seal, spiritual energy spread throughout Giant Tree Ridge, creationg the second-largest medicinal field in The Barren and establishing the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 952 - Chapter 952 Chapter 523 Transplanting the Immortal Peach

    Chapter 952: Chapter 523: Transplanting the Immortal Peach Tree_2 Chapter 952: Chapter 523: Transplanting the Immortal Peach Tree_2 However, the diffusion of the spiritual energy was not uniform, with some areas at a Rank-4 and others only at a Rank-3 level.


    Xiao Nanshan was originally Rank-4, but unfortunately, after it had been turned into vast spirit fields for planting Spirit Rice, the Spirit Vein Qi here was diluted and dispersed.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai used this place as his cultivation dojo, he restrained the expansion of the spirit fields and even took the initiative to gather spiritual energy to enhance the spirit vein.


    But after he moved to the Longevity Wood Dojo, Zhuo Ming, following his instructions, used most of the spiritual energy to supply the Rank-3 spirit fields, causing the spiritual energy concentration of Xiao Nanshan to decrease over time.


    Chen Mobai had an attachment to this place, as it held the fondest memories for him and his three disciples. So, once he learned of the situation, he immediately took Zhuo Ming with him to Black Cloud Mountain.


    After the Immortal Peach Tree settled on the mountain¡¯s peak, it became Zhuo Ming¡¯s main stage.


    She stretched out her hands to touch the coarse tree bark, and streams of pure Earth Qi flowed from various parts of Xiao Nanshan, gently making contact with the slender and delicate roots of the Immortal Peach Tree, slowly merging and blending together.


    Blue and yellow lights twined continuously, eventually becoming indistinguishable from one another.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes while slightly out of breath.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, the transplantation is a success, but Xiao Nanshan¡¯s ley lines are after all different from those of Black Cloud Mountain. This Immortal Peach Tree is still adapting, and the grade of the fruit for the next two or three harvests may not reach the standards of Rank-3.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at the Immortal Peach Tree, which indeed appeared to have diminished vitality compared to before, nodded, and opened his Golden Core Domain.


    A pitch-black object, appearing to be neither stone nor flesh, flew out from nowhere and landed before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    While Zhuo Ming and the others looked on in surprise, Tai Sui was already employing Earth Escape, arriving at the foot of Chen Mobai and gently rubbing against his trousers.


    ¡°I need to trouble you for a moment.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted Tai Sui then conveyed a message to it through his Divine Sense. It immediately nodded and transformed into a streak of yellow light, burrowing into the soil at the base of the Immortal Peach Tree.


    Before long, the soil in that area began to darken slightly.


    Zhuo Ming, who cultivated the Mother Earth Cultivation technique, felt the Earth Qi from the greater part of Xiao Nanshan surging towards this place. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was also drawn in and then absorbed by the black soil, transforming into a higher grade Earth Element power.


    This Earth Element power did not directly infuse into the Immortal Peach Tree but filled the soil around its roots.


    Each time the Immortal Peach Tree absorbed a surge, another filled the gap that was left.


    ¡°This Tai Sui is an Earth Attribute spiritual creature; its presence makes the land the most suitable treasure spot for Earth Attribute spiritual power practice. Moreover, it can convert Earth Qi and spiritual energy into the gentlest Earth Element power, nourishing the growth of various spirit plants.¡±


    ¡°With such traits, Tai Sui is the best catalyst for refining top-ranked elixirs. Apart from that, it¡¯s also a natural spirit field. Covering the peak of Xiao Nanshan, it is equivalent to a Third Rank Superior Grade spirit field, which can allow the Immortal Peach Tree to adapt faster in the presence of abundant Earth Element power.¡±


    ¡°This creature suits you the best. I will pass on the methods of using and controlling it to you. Take good care of it, and if you can cultivate it to Rank-4, I will reward you handsomely.¡±


    After giving a brief introduction of the Tai Sui he had obtained from the Land of Ruins, Chen Mobai set up a branch of the contract to allow Zhuo Ming to also control it.


    After all, this Tai Sui was Rank-3, and any ordinary Foundation Establishment Practitioner who encountered it would only be crushed by its might.


    ¡°There actually exists such a wondrous thing in the world!¡±


    Yan Jinye, who was nearby, couldn¡¯t help but express her amazement after hearing this.


    She watched as the soil on the mountain peak turned black after integrating with Tai Sui. The initially wilting Immortal Peach Tree, which looked somewhat lethargic due to the recent transplantation, now visibly seemed a lot more vigorous. Its branches and trunks stretched out and began to actively absorb nearby water vapor and Spiritual Energy.


    This scene made both her and Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes shine with excitement.


    This was a Third Rank spirit field that could be carried around, and in the future, if they encountered any extremely precious medicinal herbs outside, they could transplant them on the spot. Moreover, for Yan Jinye, an Alchemist, this was an elixir refining treasure.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Watching Zhuo Ming joyfully accept the contract of Tai Sui, Yan Jinye felt envious as she stood to the side, wishing she too were a disciple of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is the juice of Tai Sui, filled with abundant Earth Element power; you probably know how to use it better than I do.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out more of the black liquid he had collected earlier from his Storage Bag and handed it to Zhuo Ming. After receiving it, she said that with this, it would take about a month to help the Enlightenment White Tea undergo a transformative upgrade.


    ¡°Among the rice seeds that Xue Ting brought, one was the Glowing Grain Spirit Rice, which has high requirements for Earth Qi. Grown in the Xiao Nanshan spirit fields, its panicles might be stunted. I can use this liquid to mix and match a type of spiritual material, which might improve this rice variety.¡±


    Although Snow Country is cold, it has a vast expanse of extremely fertile black soil, which is quite suitable for growing Spirit Rice, though it generally performs mediocrely in nurturing medicinal herbs.


    It was precisely because of this that after obtaining the seedlings of Fire Spirit Rice and the method of cultivating spirit plants from Xiao Nanshan, Snow-blowing Palace had become self-sufficient in this type of spirit rice in just under ten years.


    This time, Xue Ting brought over various types of grain seeds, all of which had quite high requirements for the earth¡¯s energy, with the Glowing Grain Spirit Rice being the most demanding. Zhuo Ming had previously been troubled by how to solve this problem but, upon receiving the Tai Sui, inspiration suddenly struck.


    ¡°Brother Qi, long time no see.¡±


    As Zhuo Ming and the envious Yan Jinye went off to try the Tai Sui juice, only Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were left at the scene. The former greeted very naturally, while the latter was somewhat reserved.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Elder Chen.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that the pure friendship from their time on Green Light Island could probably never return.


    He sighed inwardly but also knew this was the norm.


    As one¡¯s cultivation level became higher, the lonelier one would become.


    That¡¯s why he hoped that among his friends, there would be those who could accompany him on his journey.


    ¡°Jing Huo is also at the sect. It¡¯s been a long time since we met, let¡¯s summon him for a drink together.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile as he took out the Heavenly Communication Device and contacted Xi Jinghuo. At least for now, his friends were still by his side.


    Soon after, Xi Jinghuo flew over, bringing Qi Hou with him.


    ¡°Zheng Deming, the senior brother, has also returned to the sect. He expressed his regrets to my grandfather that he has exceeded the age limit; otherwise, he would have also liked to compete for the position of Town Guard.¡±


    After three rounds of drinks, Xi Jinghuo mentioned a person.


    It was Zheng Deming, the Foundation Establishment Practitioner who had once guarded Cloud Dream Marsh Qing Light Island. Twenty years ago, he was in the late phase of Foundation Establishment. He had come back specifically to vote after hearing about the Sect Leader¡¯s policy.


    Zheng Deming¡¯s cultivation level ranked among the top in the sect for those at the Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, because he was a Loose Cultivator, he wasn¡¯t allied with any of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors¡¯ lineages within the Divine Wood Sect, so he always had to go to Cloud Dream Marsh to gather resources for his own cultivation.


    However, he had a good relationship with Xi Yisheng. It was the latter who vouched for him and brought him into the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Brother Zheng said if you had been Sect Leader when the division happened, his achievements now would definitely not be less than those of Meng brother and Chu brother.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s attitude towards Chen Mobai was relatively calm. Although more respectful, he still treated him as a friend and spoke rather freely.


    ¡°Hahaha, blame me for coming to the Eastern Wilderness too late!¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed loudly and raised his cup to drink it all in one gulp.


    After a few cups of wine, Qi Rui¡¯s mindset had also adjusted. He formally came before Chen Mobai and offered a toast.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    These two short words contained all his emotions.


    Chen Mobai smiled and clinked cups with him. As the alcohol entered his throat, he felt as if his body had become a bit lighter.


    It was as though a layer of karma that had been binding him was lifted away, settling a worry in his heart.


    ¡­


    A month quickly passed.


    All Foundation Establishment Practitioners who could make it back to the sect had returned.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In front of them all, Chen Mobai formally succeeded as the third-generation Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect and the position of Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall.


    ¡°We pay respects to the Sect Leader!¡±


    On this day, it was not just the Foundation Establishment Practitioners, but all the Qi Practitioners within Giant Tree Ridge, who, at this moment, paid their grand respects to Chen Mobai.


    It was also on this day that the spirit vein in Giant Tree Ridge started to fluctuate violently.


    Zhou Shengqing took the first step in his transition from Broken Elixir to Infant!

 Chapter 953 - Chapter 953 Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement

    Chapter 953: Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement Chapter 953: Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± caused the spiritual energy of much of Giant Tree Ridge to gather toward his location. After the energy condensed and thickened, it transformed into droplets of clear Spirit Dew. Under the sunlight, it shimmered with a multicolored radiance, trickling onto the Everlife Wood where he was.


    Each drop was equivalent to the essence of a Spirit Stone, but once it fell into the area where Zhou Shengqing was, it was like a drop of rain falling into a great river, merely causing a slight ripple.


    Fu Zongjue took all the Puppet Manuals from Liu Jia Mountain and moved them in front of the Divine Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion, guarding him while experiencing the process of Nascent Soul Formation.


    After dealing with the matters of the Town Guard vote, Chen Mobai also hurried over.


    ¡°The process of Nascent Soul Formation can be as short as a month or two or as long as two or three years, depending on the cultivator¡¯s foundation. I will stay here to guard; the affairs within the sect will be troubling Junior Brother Chen,¡±


    Fu Zongjue was referring to the ¡°Infant Formation Experience¡± left by Ancestor Hun Yuan. If a cultivator¡¯s foundation is weak, the step of breaking the elixir can be completed quickly, but they might fail at the step of transforming the infant due to a lack of sufficient elemental energy.


    If the foundation of the Gold Core is too solid, just the step of breaking the elixir might lead to failure.


    However, compared to that, many cultivators in the Tianhe Realm do their utmost to solidify their foundations.


    After all, those with a weak foundation are bound to fail, but those with a robust foundation always have ways to break the elixir into an infant.


    What kind of foundation a cultivator will have during Nascent Soul Formation, for the most part, is established during Core Formation. Further growth afterwards would require some extremely rare heavenly and earthly treasures.


    Since Zhou Shengqing dared to attempt Nascent Soul Formation, his foundation naturally wouldn¡¯t be bad.


    But this is just the method of Nascent Soul Formation in the Tianhe Realm. The Immortal Gate, although it has not studied the process of Nascent Soul Formation as thoroughly as Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, still has far more detailed knowledge.


    Compared to Tianhe Realm¡¯s Broken Elixir to Infant, the Immortal Gate¡¯s method of Nascent Soul Formation is gentler, using cultivation techniques in combination with elixirs to slowly dissolve the Gold Core over a long time, nurturing and cultivating the Nascent Soul.


    ¡°The Array of Ten Thousand Woods has already been activated, during Brother Zhou¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation, I hope nothing occurs like what happened during Meng nephew¡¯s Core Formation,¡±


    While Chen Mobai was speaking, a faint Spiritual Light had already begun to shine above Giant Tree Ridge, expanding into a protective dome that spread outward.


    ¡°During Nascent Soul Formation, the spiritual energy from all of Giant Tree Ridge will majestically converge here. It would be best for the other cultivators of our sect to refrain from cultivating with nature¡¯s spiritual energy during this period, to avoid accidents.¡±


    At that moment, Fu Zongjue recalled another matter recorded in the Infant Formation Experience and made sure to emphasize the instruction.


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s that as well?¡±


    Chen Mobai genuinely did not know because at the Immortal Gate, regardless of which major boundary was being broken through, there was always an independent cultivation room and supply of spiritual energy, so there was no need to worry about this issue.


    During the conversation, he closed his eyes and began attempting to refine the spiritual energy of the surroundings.


    Sure enough, he found that the spiritual energy, which he could usually absorb and refine into Pure Yang Spiritual Power effortlessly, was now like a slippery fish in water, requiring a great deal of energy and focus to harness and absorb into his body.


    If he, a Golden Core cultivator, found refining the spiritual energy of Giant Tree Ridge this difficult, then it was certainly much harder for those at Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation below.


    If this had happened during their seclusion, it was quite possible that the surge of spiritual energy could lead to accidents.


    Chen Mobai immediately fulfilled his duty as Sect Leader, took out the Heavenly Communication Device, and ordered the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to quickly notify the sect disciples within Giant Tree Ridge of this matter.


    Fortunately, at that time, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners were all electing the Six Nations Town Guards in Shenmu Hall, so the message was swiftly communicated throughout the entire sect.


    Nevertheless, there were still over a dozen unfortunate Qi Cultivating Disciples who happened to be meditating and cultivating at that moment, and due to the upheaval of the spiritual energy in the Void, they suffered severe and near-fatal injuries.


    Chen Mobai ordered the Alchemy Department to allocate personnel for rescue, mandating at all costs that all elixirs and Spirit Grass be accounted for on the sect¡¯s ledger.


    Zeng Woyou found it strange that the Sect Leader would pay such close attention to mere Qi Cultivating Disciples, thinking there might be talents within them that Chen Mobai was particularly concerned about.


    According to the traditions of the Eastern Wilderness, such disciples, beset by bad luck, ought to be eliminated to prevent future impacts on the sect¡¯s fortune.


    But Chen Mobai was now the Sect Leader and also a Nascent Soul Ancestor, so his orders had to be obeyed by Zeng Woyou.


    After writing down six names on his voting ticket, Zeng Woyou was the first to leave Shenmu Hall, called most of the doctors from the Alchemy Department, and went to treat those Qi Cultivating Disciples who were badly injured due to the upheaval of spiritual energy caused by Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Just as he stepped out of Shenmu Hall, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zeng Woyou couldn¡¯t help shivering and looked up at the sky, his expression immediately changing.


    In the distant horizon, he saw a dark, dingy yellow cloud with a dense and somber atmosphere, sweeping through the blue skies toward them.


    ¡°An Underworld official is passing, all beings retreat!¡±


    A sharp voice rose in mid-air. Then, the cloud parted slightly, revealing four faceless figures in red garments and black trousers, with pointed hats, carrying an ornate dark red palanquin floating toward Giant Tree Ridge.


    Wherever they passed, an extremely eerie and ghostly presence diffused, seemingly turning half the sky dark as a black cloud hanging over, covering the three towering Everlife Trees.

 Chapter 954 - Chapter 954 Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement_2

    Chapter 954: Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement_2 Chapter 954: Chapter 524 Pure Yang Demon Refinement_2 The Array of Ten Thousand Woods was instantly activated!


    Streams of clear, lustrous Spiritual Light lit up, transforming into a gigantic spherical barrier that enveloped Giant Tree Ridge in protection.


    Grim Ghost Qi descended, constantly coming into contact and rubbing against the cyan Spiritual Light, as the Void shimmered with streaks of greenish-black arcs of electricity and falling sparks.


    The caliber of the attacker was unknown, such that even the Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge began to quiver slightly.


    ¡°All disciples, defend the formation steadfastly!¡±


    Just as the Divine Wood Sect disciples¡¯ hearts wavered, a clear and resonant voice echoed through the sky.


    Then they saw a youth, with a bright and spirited presence, holding a Purple Long Sword, landing above Giant Tree Ridge and standing alone with his sword in front of the dark clouds.


    ¡°Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!¡±


    A dismal voice rose from within the palanquin, and as the words were spoken, the pitch-black ghastly clouds began to condense relentlessly.


    In a blink of an eye, they transformed into a towering, dark figure, like a Ghost God returning from Huangquan, blocking out the sky and dimming the earth.


    The ghostly shadow raised its right hand, akin to a giant crushing an ant, and swung down towards the youth standing resiliently in the air above Giant Tree Ridge.


    In response, Chen Mobai wielded his sword!


    Accompanied by the vastness of nature¡¯s Spiritual energy, a dazzling arc of Purple Lightning Sword Light soared into the sky, swiftly becoming a surging column of thunderous light, cleaving through the Grim Ghost Hand and the dark ghastly clouds. Its force unabated, it heavily struck towards the vivid palanquin at the center of the dark clouds.


    A pale jade-like hand stretched out from within the curtains of the palanquin and directly grasped the Purple Lightning Sword Light unleashed by Chen Mobai. As the white hand was about to exert force to crush the Sword Light, it discovered that a power of overwhelming yang and solidity made it feel as if it had grabbed hold of magma.


    In the hissing of green smoke, the pale hand began to blacken, gradually turning into ashes while revealing crystalline phalanges.


    ¡°Quite a Yang Thunder!¡±


    A dismal voice sounded from within the palanquin, and then a section of the crystalline phalanges broke off, bursting forth with a white stream of Qi. It turned into an ethereal white bony skull, which opened its gaping maw and violently swallowed the Purple Lightning Sword Light.


    Two extreme forces clashed, and in an instant, the space above Giant Tree Ridge was stained with an eerie blend of cyan-black and purple-red. The yin and yang polarities of nature¡¯s Spiritual Energy were both drawn out, causing a series of violent howling and shockwaves.


    Given these circumstances, the bizarre palanquin could no longer maintain its initial composure. The four faceless beings carrying the palanquin trembled slightly, and cracks formed on them.


    The curtains also unfurled slightly, and Chen Mobai, with his activated Void Spirit Eye, caught a glimpse of something inside. He could see a headless figure sitting with a head in its arms¨Cunfortunately, the face of the head was pressed against its abdomen, and he could only see the hollow back of its skull.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect has a sword that somewhat restrains me, doesn¡¯t he?¡±


    The curtains fell again, hiding the interior, but the dismal voice still carried through.


    ¡°Our sect supposedly has no major grudges with you all from Yellow Springs Path.¡±


    Chen Mobai, holding the Purple Lightning Sword, spoke, declaring that it was Ancestor Hunyuan from the Five Elements Sect who had trespassed into Huangquan; the Divine Wood Sect had since branched out, and any grudge should be settled with the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°The entire Eastern Wilderness is but our reincarnation pool, and to avoid losing control, cultivators of the Nascent Soul Level are not permitted to appear.¡±


    As the dismal voice spoke, Chen Mobai saw that the flash of his Purple Lightning Sword that had destroyed its flesh and bone was now slowly healing. Golden radiance blossomed on the wound, expelling and suppressing the remaining threads of purple electric current.


    ¡°Golden Armored Zombie!¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon seeing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of surprise.


    Upon a closer inspection of its crystalline bones, his expression suddenly turned grave.


    ¡°Jade Corpse!?¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, there exists a method of Corpse Cultivation. Although it is a Side Sect practice, once fully mastered, it can rival the powers of Divinity Transformation.


    The Corpse Disassembling Devil Sect, one of the eighteen devil sects, is a prominent practitioner of this path.


    Corpse cultivation involves stages like Bronze Armored Corpse, Silver Armored Corpse, Golden Armored Zombie, Jade Corpse, and the Flying Night Fiend!


    Comparable to Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation!


    During the peak of the Eastern Emperor Court, the Hall of Ten Directions, which numbered only a few in the Imperial Court, once joined forces specifically to besiege the highest achiever of the Corpse Disassembling Devil Sect, the Flying Night Fiend.


    If it were a Golden Armored Zombie, Chen Mobai, relying on his Purple Lightning Sword, could still contend, but if it was a Jade Corpse¡­


    ¡°Release the formation and let me in to kill Zhou Shengqing, then I¡¯ll spare your Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    The dismal voice from within the palanquin sounded once again, and the hand that was injured by the Purple Lightning Sword was restored anew, its pallor, and an eerie and sinister black Qi together with the pervasive dark clouds spilled forth, again forming a towering, dark shadow.


    ¡°Junior Brother, enter the formation!¡±


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s voice rang out, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t act rashly, retreating a step into the range of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    Shrouded in grim ghost qi, the spiritual vein of Giant Tree Ridge fluctuated once again.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but slightly relax.


    Although the enemy¡¯s attack was fierce, already at the peak of Rank-3 strength, it was basically impossible to break through this Rank-4 Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    ¡°The opponent should just be a ghost cultivator possessing the essence of a jade corpse, and it¡¯s even possible that this jade corpse is incomplete, possibly just a golden armored zombie that failed to transform into a jade corpse.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, observing the battle, had discerned some clues.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then he should know that attacking in this way is absolutely incapable of breaking through the large formation. If we wait until Brother Zhou completes his Nascent Soul Formation¡­ No good¡­ The villain is deliberately striking the formation, thereby shaking the spirit vein of Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly realized the true intent of their foe, and his expression changed instantly.


    While Zhou Shengqing was in Nascent Soul Formation, even though he would be fully immersed in it, the tremors of Giant Tree Ridge¡¯s spirit vein were enough to awaken him.


    This was almost similar to the situation when Meng Hong¡¯s Golden Core formation failed¨Cthe ghost cultivator was deliberately causing a disturbance.


    ¡°I have already notified Brother Mo to come and act as protector. Before that, we must block this person first,¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Fu Zongjue also realized the gravity of the situation.


    They could keep the enemy outside of Giant Tree Ridge by controlling the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, but doing so would affect the important matter of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    In such circumstances, they had no choice but to make a move.


    A streak of Purple Lightning and a beam of golden light burst forth to intercept the ghost cultivator¡¯s next move, when suddenly the four faceless men carrying the sedan chair transformed into four streams of red light, floating towards them.


    ¡°Mere ghost minions!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed as he waved his sleeve, and the Six Yang God Fire Mirror flew out, igniting pure yang fire, encircling the four streams of red light.


    Then, the pure yang spiritual power surged violently, instantly reducing the four faceless men to ash.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    The underworld official in the sedan chair couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this.


    His four ghost minions had been cultivated over many years; even a Golden Core Cultivator would be hard-pressed to deal with them when they worked together. His intention was to first halt Chen Mobai, and then with the force of thunder, quickly kill the weakest, Fu Zongjue.


    Little did he expect that Chen Mobai¡¯s speed in annihilating the four great ghost minions would surpass the rate at which he could crush Fu Zongjue.


    He immobilized the golden needles shot by Fu Zongjue in front of the sedan chair. For the first time, the underworld official sitting within used a magic artifact.


    It was a Mourning Rod!


    Although its grade was inferior to the Purple Electric Sword, when it was bolstered by the underworld official¡¯s vast ghost qi, it unleashed an immense force, smashing the unprepared Fu Zongjue into thousands of puppet pieces with a single strike.


    ¡°Junior Brother, be careful; this person can unleash the power of jade corpse,¡± Fu Zongjue felt his Golden Sun Puppet being shattered and paled, shouting at Chen Mobai.


    Amidst the howling.


    The huge Mourning Rod, with its grim ghost qi, came crashing down onto Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    The power of this strike had already surpassed the Rank-3 level.


    Chen Mobai could only raise the Purple Electric Sword, delivering the second sword strike of the day!


    Amidst the clash of two Rank-4 powers, a pale hand like white jade tore through the void, reaching from behind to grab Chen Mobai¡¯s neck.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye had always been open, keenly capturing this scene.

    He didn¡¯t have enough time to turn the Purple Electric Sword around, so he could only block the underworld official¡¯s ghostly hand with the Six Yang God Fire Mirror that he was controlling with Ruyi.


    ¡°A mere Rank-3!¡±


    In the midst of a cold laugh, the pale jade-like hand, with dark ghost qi, grasped the mirror without hesitation.


    Pure Yang Fire reacted upon contact.


    Subsequently, a scream erupted from the sedan chair!

 Chapter 955 - Chapter 955 Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Extra 1)

    Chapter 955: Chapter 525: Golden Flame (Extra 1) Chapter 955: Chapter 525: Golden Flame (Extra 1) Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll was the foremost demon refining technique of the Immortal Gate, particularly restraining against all that was dark and heretical. However, because all the heretical sects and evil demons of Di Yuan Star had already been swept away, hardly anyone was aware of this title anymore.


    In the eyes of the public, the Pure Yang Scroll was considered the most suitable cultivation technique within the Immortal Gate for those with mediocre talent. As long as they had enough time and resources, they could climb to the pinnacle of cultivation.


    It was for this reason that Chen Mobai firmly believe in the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Today, as he faced a ghost cultivator from the Yellow Springs Path, the Pure Yang Scroll displayed its most powerful effect.


    Nearly a jade corpse in its formidable physique, the moment it came into contact with the Pure Yang Fire erupting from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, its flesh and skin turned to flying ash. Then, those clear and jade-like phalanges, after holding out for several breaths, melted like candle wax entering a great fire, inch by inch.


    Bones that not even the Purple Electric Sword could sever appeared fragile and powerless before the Pure Yang Fire.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai also remembered the opening line of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    [This scroll, a method of demon refining from the Tian Shu, is a technique to ward off evil. Once achieved, all demonic forces will be easily repelled, and a thousand demons shall not invade!]


    All this time, Chen Mobai had only read this line, because at the Immortal Gate, he never encountered anything connected to demonic forces.


    Although the Ascension Sect was known as the leader of the Ancient Evil Path Union, in reality, the path they cultivated was similar to that of the Immortal Gate. It¡¯s just that they liked to take shortcuts and, due to their different stances, were labeled a heretical cult in propaganda.


    If not for being in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai might have never noticed the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s critical hit effect against demons for his entire life.


    In the Immortal Gate, Pure Yang Fire was merely considered the most balanced and mild Gold Core True Fire!


    Used for alchemy and artifact refining, it was not particularly remarkable and had no adverse effects. However, when it fell upon a demonic being, it ignited like oil, fueled by the filthy qi, burning more vigorously, more intensely, shining with a blinding brilliance!


    The Underworld official¡¯s ghost hand pierced through the void and grasped the Pure Yang Fire. As the bones melted, the Pure Yang Fire burst forth a blinding platinum radiance, spreading to the interior of the palanquin.


    The Underworld official, who had never seen Pure Yang Fire, initially thought it was ordinary Yang Attribute True Fire and attempted to suppress it with his own profound Netherworld ghost qi.


    But this suppression backfired.


    Stirred by the extremely cold ghost qi, the Pure Yang Fire¡¯s utmost strength against demonic forces was wholly unleashed, erupting fiercely into a canopy of golden flames, spreading along the hand bones across the Underworld official¡¯s entire body.


    At this time, the Underworld official had yet to realize the severity of the problem, and instinctively mobilized his Netherworld ghost qi to form a black shield, attempting to block it.


    Yet, the splendid golden flames effortlessly pierced through the black shield, drilling into the Underworld official¡¯s body and creating several holes.


    Then, an especially agonized scream sounded!


    The headless corpse seated within the palanquin melted slowly like a wax figure under the burning of the Pure Yang Fire, turning into wisps of charred, foul-smelling blue smoke, dripping in various places around the palanquin.


    Amidst the screams, the Underworld official¡¯s divine sense inhabiting the zombie decisively gave up, and the hollow skull flew out from the palanquin, rushing out.


    The Pure Yang Fire, sensing the Netherworld ghost qi, surged out of the palanquin, trying to capture the escaping skull, but a Mourning Rod blocked the entrance to the palanquin, stopping all the flames.


    Even though the magic artifact also melted by half, it at least allowed the Underworld official to escape.


    Midair, Chen Mobai finally saw the true appearance of the head. It had handsome features, but the top of the head was hollowed out. Inside lay a pure white Bone Pearl, the surface faintly bore seven orifices, resembling the external appearance of the skull.


    ¡°What is this¡­ flame!?¡±


    The mouth of the skull moved, sounding an alarmed voice, seemingly with a lingering fear as it glanced at the palanquin and the jade corpse, now fiercely ablaze with Pure Yang Fire.


    This palanquin, too, was a powerful Yin Tool, refined from Yincheng Wood by the Underworld official after expending great effort. But before the full-featured Pure Yang Fire, it burned just like kindling wood.


    As for the jade corpse, by now, it was barely distinguishable as a human figure, with flesh turned to heaps of ash and a skeletal frame that was half gold and half jade, looking as though inlaid with gold.


    Though it was an incomplete jade corpse, the tremendous ghost qi it contained was enough to fuel the Pure Yang Fire for a long time.


    The gold and jade intertwined skeleton, enveloped by golden flames, melted like wax, droplets sliding off.


    These were highly toxic crystals of evil power, a single drop capable of contaminating a large lake, transforming an ordinary person into a zombie upon ingestion.


    But wrapped in Pure Yang Fire, they turned into green smoke midair, purified and dissipated into the atmosphere.

    ¡°It was fortunate that Brother Zhou passed you that Golden Flame Sword Talisman. This ¡®Golden Flame,¡¯ both utmost yang and extremely hot, is the perfect restraint for these ghost cultivators.¡±


    Fu Zongjue sent another puppet to Chen Mobai¡¯s side at this moment. As he observed the scene before him, he misunderstood that Chen Mobai had used that Third Rank Superior Grade talisman.


    After reaching Core Formation with the Red Flame Sword Jue, one needs to use Dan Fire and the Spiritual Power essence to refine the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. What is refined from this process is ¡°Golden Flame.¡±


    Golden Flame burns immensely hot, ordinary magic artifacts upon touch would melt into molten iron.


    In all of the Eastern Wilderness, there was no mineral that Golden Flame couldn¡¯t melt; used against enemies, it was even more formidable.

 Chapter 956 - Chapter 956 Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Additional Update 1)_2

    Chapter 956: Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Additional Update 1)_2 Chapter 956: Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Additional Update 1)_2 With the cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Jue reaching this point, it was possible to sublimate the Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a move called ¡°Flame Sun Slash,¡± touted to be able to fuse together all tangible matter, invincible against all.


    Above the Flame Sun Slash was the ¡°Extreme Sun Slash,¡± the power of Rank-4, proclaimed to cut through anything and everything.


    If one could master the Extreme Sun Slash, then it meant the Red Flame Sword Jue had been cultivated to its limit, and one could also draw that Rank-4 ¡°Great Sun Sword Talisman¡±.


    The sight of Chen Mobai using Pure Yang Fire to melt the Ghost Cultivator indeed bore a striking resemblance to the Golden Flame, therefore, it was no wonder that Fu Zongjue had been mistaken.


    ¡°Is this a branch technique of the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire?¡±


    At this moment, the Underworld official also retrieved from his ancient memories an image similar to the Pure Yang Fire.


    In the past, Ancestor Hunyuan achieved the unity of the Five Elements. With but a thought, he could transform the power of any one of the Five Elements. He also used the perfected Red Flame Sword Jue when he ventured into the Yellow Springs Path.


    The origin of this cultivation technique stemmed from Fen Tianjing Di, which was recognized in the history of the East Land as the orthodox great method most effective at restraining malevolent spirits. Caught unprepared on the Yellow Springs Path, the Ghost Cultivators were annihilated by Ancestor Hunyuan, who killed two Rank-4 Ghost Cultivators.


    ¡°A mere little guy who has just reached Core Formation could not possibly condense the Golden Flame; it must be a talisman left by Hun Yuan. Such a thing cannot be plentiful¡­¡±


    Although he thought this way, the Underworld official did not dare to take risks. He saw his meticulously refined Golden Jade Corpse completely melted by the white-gold flames and immediately fled without looking back.


    As for Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue, they had no intention of pursuing the enemy.


    Their original purpose was simply to drive the enemy away. Moreover, they were still unaware of how many Ghost Cultivators from the Yellow Springs Path were lurking in the dark; it was very possible that the enemy was luring them into a trap.


    Out of caution, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue even retreated back into the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    About half an hour later, Mo Douguang, who received the news, also arrived via the teleportation array.


    ¡°Ghost Cultivator!¡±


    Hearing about the identity of the intruder, he also couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised.


    In days past, after Ancestor Hunyuan returned grievously injured from his incursion into the Yellow Springs Path, he still managed to lead the Five Elements Sect to eradicate all the Ghost Cultivators that had reached the living world and re-seal the Underworld.


    That battle was arguably the most ferocious in the Eastern Wilderness in recent decades and marked the turning point of the Five Elements Sect from prosperity to decline.


    ¡°Brother Zhou might have anticipated this, leaving the Golden Flame Sword Talisman to Junior Brother Chen. That powerful Ghost Cultivator from the Yellow Springs Path was severely injured and has fled.¡±


    Fu Zongjue recounted the details of the battle, and Mo Douguang nodded repeatedly, his gaze involuntarily turning to Chen Mobai.


    The Golden Flame Sword Talisman was a Third Rank Superior Grade talisman, and while triggering it wasn¡¯t difficult, to control it with ease one needed to have cultivated the Red Flame Sword Jue to an extremely profound realm.


    After receiving the Primordial True Qi in the past, Mo Douguang also attempted the path of uniting the Five Elements.


    He even condensed fifteen Green Flames Sword Slaughters to prepare for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit in the future.


    Yet even with his Sword Dao Realm and cultivation level, he merely managed to condense the Golden Flame with great difficulty, and controlling it was quite strenuous.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen truly is a natural-born genius.¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Douguang¡¯s praise, Chen Mobai repeatedly waved his hands. Although he had comprehended the entire Red Flame Sword Jue thanks to his Fire Spirit Body and Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he had never actually spent any effort on cultivating it. If it evolved into a teaching session, he would definitely be exposed.


    ¡°After this battle, the Ghost Cultivator should not come again, but just to be on the safe side, I¡¯ll stay here,¡±


    Mo Douguang took the initiative to offer to stay behind, something that Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue were naturally extremely happy about.


    ¡°Thank you both for guarding the place; I¡¯ll go deal with some sect affairs.¡±


    After talking for a while, Chen Mobai thought the time was about right, so he excused himself and returned to Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Seeing him come in, everyone showed a look of respect, standing in two rows to offer their salutations. The intense battle between Chen Mobai and the Ghost Cultivator was witnessed by everyone below.


    In the eyes of all the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, their Sect Leader was now indisputably the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, with unmatched combat power.


    ¡°Have you all filled it out? Then let¡¯s count the votes!¡±


    After taking his place as the Sect Leader, Chen Mobai asked Luo Xue¡¯er at his side. Upon receiving a positive response, he gestured for her to open the box that contained all the votes from the Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    This task would have been best suited for Chu Zuoshu to perform, but now he was wholly focused on reaching Core Formation, and since stepping down, he no longer left his residence.


    Even the voting slips were delivered by Yue Zutao on his behalf.


    [It seems we need to establish a cabinet to help handle these trivial matters!]


    The process of voting and vote counting was a first for the Divine Wood Sect, and Luo Xue¡¯er was not quite accustomed to it, making some mistakes along the way, Chen Mobai noticed this and contemplated it internally.


    The new cabinet required trustworthy people who could execute his intentions, preferably younger individuals, and naturally, Chen Mobai trusted his own disciples the most.


    However, it was necessary to avoid any appearance of favoritism, and Liu Wenbo also had to manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop, handling business on his behalf. If he were to take on sect affairs as well, his power might become too great, which could, in turn, affect his cultivation.


    Zhuo Ming was even less suitable, better he stick to farming.


    That left E Yun, Yuan Chiye, Yue Zutao, Yu Lian, Yan Jinye, Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and others.


    Among them, E Yun was the most suited to take charge of the cabinet, but he was to succeed him as Sect Leader and needed to be appointed as Town Guard first.


    Compared to E Yun, Yuan Chiye seemed somewhat immature.


    Yue Zutao¡¯s capabilities were not inferior to E Yun¡¯s, but it was uncertain whether he would be willing to take the position.


    If all else failed, they could rehire Meng Hongfan and have him cover the position for a while.


    As Chen Mobai sat in the Sect Leader¡¯s seat contemplating, Luo Xue¡¯er had already finished vote counting for all Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    The highest-voted town guards for the six countries were Zhou Wangshen, Hong He, E Yun, Yan Yuanhao, Wei Liuting, and Dong Xuanze.


    ¡°If you take up the town guard position, you will no longer be able to hold your duties within the sect. Have you all considered this thoroughly?¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Yan Yuanhao, Wei Liuting, and Dong Xuanze, who were the deputy heads of the Body Forging Division, Formation Division, and Talisman Making Department, respectively. They had come forth to compete for the town guard position, evidently also eyeing the core formation opportunity.


    The reason Chu Zuoshu had hastened his resignation was the spread of news that he had obtained a Core Formation Spiritual Medicine.


    The upper echelons of the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners had guessed that the sect had obtained an alchemy recipe that could assist in core formation, and even Chen Mobai¡¯s youthful core formation success was owed to this.


    For several reasons combined, Yan Yuanhao and the other two were willing to give up the positions they had fought for years to obtain, to compete for the Sect Leader¡¯s post.


    ¡°We have all thought it through clearly!¡±


    After receiving affirmative responses, Chen Mobai nodded, then gestured to Luo Xue¡¯er to float a simple map of the Eastern Wilderness in the air above the hall.


    Chen Mobai then stood up from his seat and began to delineate territories with a pointed finger.


    ¡°Sky Country¡¯s town guard will be Zhou Wangshen.¡±


    ¡°Rock Country¡¯s town guard, E Yun.¡±


    ¡°Rainbow Country¡¯s town guard, Yan Yuanhao.¡±


    ¡°Lei Nation¡¯s town guard, Wei Liuting.¡±


    ¡°Yun Country¡¯s town guard, Dong Xuanze.¡±


    ¡°Rain Country¡¯s town guard, Hong He.¡±


    After the assignments, the six individuals stepped forward to pay their respects to Chen Mobai and received the seals carved from Golden Yang Wood.


    These were magic artifacts crafted by Wang Tingbo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, made from excellent materials that were of Rank-2 quality and symbols of authority for the town guards of the respective countries.


    With the positions confirmed, many were left disheartened, but under Sect Master Chen¡¯s irrevocable decree, the situation was set and could not be changed.


    Nighttime.


    In the courtyard of Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai was having tea with Yue Zutao.


    ¡°Nephew Yue, you¡¯ve guarded Rock Country for over a decade, and now I¡¯ve asked you to return. I truly feel guilty.¡±


    ¡°My path ahead has come to an end; it¡¯s only right that I pave the way for my juniors.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yue Zutao appeared quite open-minded about it. During his years as the guard of Rock Country, his steady approach repelled the pressure from the formidable Nanxuan sect, and the development of Northern Abyss City was steadily progressing, following Chen Mobai¡¯s prior planning.


    ¡°Nephew Yue, are you aware that I am the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked a rather strange question, which had already spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness following the core formation ceremony and the earth-shattering battle with Xuan Shu.


    Yue Zutao: ¡°With the Sect Leader¡¯s exceptional talent, it¡¯s only natural that you hold the inheritance of a supreme holy land.¡±


    After hearing the response, Chen Mobai smiled faintly and spoke a sentence that caused Yue Zutao¡¯s eyes to widen and his body to tremble with shock.

 Chapter 957 - Chapter 957 Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern

    Chapter 957: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness Chapter 957: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness After explaining the principle of Dual-phase Rotation Technique, Yue Zutao stood up excitedly, muttering to himself.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, that¡¯s how it is¡­¡±


    It would take a set of three Longevity Tree Fruits to fully function, something Yue Zutao would never have considered in his lifetime if Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t explained it.


    And the solution to break the shackles of the Longevity Tree Fruit on his cultivation realm was surprisingly the Dual-phase Technique, a method that amazed Yue Zutao with the wisdom of the ancient cultivators.


    However, Yue Zutao soon thought of a critical issue amidst his excitement and calmed down.


    ¡°Lifespan extension elixirs are far too precious. The collection I worked hard to accumulate over the years could only barely make up for about twenty years of my lifespan. If I were to consume a complete set of Longevity Tree Fruits, I¡¯d likely age drastically.¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, elixirs are incredibly precious, especially those related to lifespan.


    Over the years, Yue Zutao had consumed a type of lifespan extension elixir from within his sect, and even with additional elixirs collected from outside, he had not yet made up for the forty-year deficit in his lifespan.


    Without resolving this issue, even if a complete set of Longevity Tree Fruits were placed in front of him, he wouldn¡¯t dare to consume them.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I have given your situation a lot of thought in conjunction with the Longevity Sect¡¯s heritage and have come up with three strategies. Shall I share them?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao felt even more that Elder Chen in front of him was profound and inscrutable. His respect deepened as he asked about the best strategy.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The Longevity Technique, one of the Longevity Sect¡¯s twenty-four grand spells, I surmise, was created by the predecessors specifically to consume the Longevity Tree Fruits. If you succeed in cultivating it, lifespan will be a minor issue.¡±


    Yue Zutao: ¡°Longevity Technique!? Then I still need to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body, but there¡¯s not enough Longevity Tree Sap either.¡±


    At this point, Yue Zutao remembered what Chu Zuoshu had mentioned, that Sister Gu Yan had presented a method to refine Longevity Tree Sap to Elder Chen, and he couldn¡¯t help but look up, filled with anticipation.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°While theoretically, the combination of the Longevity Scripture and the Longevity Dao Body can let one cultivate the Longevity Technique, one must achieve the Dao Body to perfection, which even I have not accomplished.¡±


    That is to say, both the Longevity Scripture and the Longevity Dao Body are at the Nascent Soul Realm, and whether they can be integrated to cultivate the Longevity Technique remains conjecture.


    This was a portion separated by True Lord Yuan, which Ancestor Hunyuan found in the secret realm of Giant Tree Ridge.


    As for why True Lord Yuan did such a thing, it is said to be due to the overly stringent conditions for cultivating the Longevity Technique, which later generations could not fulfill.


    As for how stringent, without the Longevity Technique, Chen Mobai had no way of knowing.


    ¡°What about the middle strategy? Please teach me, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yue Zutao humbly picked up the teapot and poured more tea into Chen Mobai¡¯s cup.


    ¡°The middle strategy is to abandon the Longevity Scripture, and naturally, the binding power will disappear. When relinquishing the technique, I will have Zeng Woyou refine some elixirs to preserve your life, which shouldn¡¯t be a problem. With your talent and the resources of the sect, rebuilding up to Foundation Establishment will be easy, though reaching Core Formation would be essentially impossible.¡±


    After hearing this, Yue Zutao¡¯s face showed struggle, but after hesitating for a moment, a hint of desire for Core Formation stirred within him, so he decided to face his true feelings and shook his head, asking Chen Mobai for the last strategy.


    ¡°Then there¡¯s no choice but to commit to this path to the end.¡±


    After taking a sip of the Snow Needle Immortal Bud, Chen Mobai began to describe this final, desperate strategy.


    ¡°You keep collecting lifespan extending elixirs, while watching who in the sect obtains Longevity Tree Fruits from the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Once everything is ready, consume the medium and large fruits and then try to form your core by using Dual-phase Technique to rotate and assimilate the Longevity Spiritual Power, breaking free from the restriction of the Longevity Tree Fruits.¡±


    ¡°It appears to be the only way!¡±


    Yue Zutao let out a sigh upon hearing this, yet the previously dim look in his eyes now contained an unprecedented glint of hope.


    Compared with his previous resignation, now he at least saw a true glimmer of hope.


    Although faint, it illuminated the path to a higher realm.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°But there¡¯s a problem within this that I¡¯m not sure you¡¯ve noticed.¡±


    Yue Zutao: ¡°Please enlighten me, Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The rotation order of the Dual-phase Technique follows the sequence of the Five Elements, meaning that to dissolve the Longevity Spiritual Power, you must practice fire elemental techniques, yet your Fire Spiritual Root is quite inferior.¡±


    Chen Mobai had once measured Yue Zutao¡¯s Spiritual Root with Spirit-Testing Instruments, revealing dual-attribute True Spirit Roots.


    The Wood Spirit Root had a value of 57, quite excellent; the Water Spirit Root was at 27, passable; but the Fire Spirit Root, though third, was only at 12.


    If Yue Zutao were to rotate through the Dual-phase Technique, even if he barely managed to cultivate a Fire Attribute Technique to Foundation Establishment Completion, succeeding in Core Formation would be nearly impossible with such inferior Spiritual Root.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Then¡­ what should I do?¡±


    Yue Zutao was completely at a loss after hearing this.


    ¡°The restriction lies solely on the Longevity Spiritual Power. You need not hope for successful Core Formation when operating the Dual-phase Technique. You just have to break the efficacy of the Longevity Tree Fruits, and that would be considered a success.¡±


    ¡°Hence, you can consume elixirs without regard to cost to boost the Fire Element Technique, and after the rotation, use the technique of dispersing Qi to transform the Fire Spirit Power into Earth Spirit Power.¡±


    ¡°Then follow the generation cycle of the Five Elements in order, and after the complete rotation and transformation, all impurities and toxins will have been purged, leaving only the most pure Wood Spirit Power. With it, you can start cultivating the Longevity Scripture anew and try for Core Formation.¡±

 Chapter 958 - Chapter 958 Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern

    Chapter 958: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chapter 958: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness_2 After Chen Mobai finished speaking, a sliver of spiritual light faintly emerged in Yue Zutao¡¯s mind, and he thought of the supreme method of the Five Elements Sect, his complexion changing dramatically.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Primordial Dao Fruit!?¡±


    The Five Elements revolve, and Hun Yuan returns to unity; that is the theory.


    However, the specific cultivation method is not at all inherited by the Divine Wood Sect!


    ¡°To achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit, one needs to cultivate all Five Elements Cultivation Techniques to the utmost extent, grasping their true essence. Only when the Five Elements unite at the end, can one possibly generate Primordial True Qi. You do not need to do this, you just need to go through the process of converting the Five Elements Essence, which is much simpler.¡±


    As the highest method of the Five Elements Sect, although Zhou Shengqing was not taught it, he often listened to Ancestor Hunyuan expound some of its principles during his cultivation.


    When the family split later, Zhou Shengqing organized these into a booklet, originally intending to let the descendants of the sect have some understanding of the Primordial Dao Fruit. Should there ever be a prodigy within the Five Elements Sect who managed to cultivate it, they would have a foundation for understanding and dealing with it.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, all the inheritances of the Divine Wood Sect were opened to him, naturally including this booklet.


    The method he had devised for Yue Zutao to dismantle and rebuild his cultivation base was much easier compared to the Primordial Dao Fruit, akin to solving a math problem where the former involves directly applying a formula to find the answer, while the latter requires one to derive the formula from scratch.


    A difference between heaven and earth!


    ¡°In that case, will my lifespan be enough?¡±


    After listening, Yue Zutao felt that the comprehensive strategy Chen Mobai had devised for him was the best, but he still had some concerns.


    ¡°After taking a complete set of Tree Fruits of Immortality, the bottleneck of your Dantian Qi Sea will be broken, which means as long as you have enough elixirs and spiritual energy, you can easily cultivate any Five Elements technique to Foundation Establishment Completion. Although you will need the Five Elements to generate each other, which will waste a lot of time, based on my estimation, the remainder of your lifespan should just about be sufficient.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the Five Elements Cultivation Techniques far exceeded that of anyone in the Divine Wood Sect, as his foundation was the Five Elements Cultivation, and he had listened to Elder Qingping¡¯s entire Five Elements Cultivation video course from Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul more than a dozen times.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance. For the rebirth you¡¯ve granted, I¡¯ll heed any command, and dare not disobey!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao stood up and paid his respects to Chen Mobai with the utmost reverence.


    ¡°You have toiled thanklessly in Rock Country, defending Northern Abyss City for over a decade, and in the two major battles with Shake Mountain Peak, you fought alongside me on the front lines. Apart from myself, your contributions to the sect are the greatest. Now that I am the Sect Leader, naturally, I will not mistreat anyone who has made significant contributions.¡±


    These words from Chen Mobai filled Yue Zutao with an impulse of ¡®a man dies for those who appreciate him,¡¯ and they also revived the ambition that had been bound in his heart for decades.


    When he had completely given up, he thought his state of mind was lofty enough to watch the clouds roll by without any intention to stay or leave.


    But now, seeing the hope of breaking through his restraints and ascending to higher realms, Yue Zutao realized that deep down, he was still unwilling to accept his fate!


    After all, he was once the number one direct disciple, hailed as a genius with the demeanor of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±!


    If it weren¡¯t for the Tree Fruits of Immortality and without Chen Mobai, he would definitely be the third-generation Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect after Chu Zuoshu.


    No Hong He, no King Zhou, no E Yun ¨C none of them would have been his match!


    The confidence and pride in Yue Zutao¡¯s heart began to emerge at that moment.


    With a goal in mind, his entire demeanor changed completely.


    Chen Mobai discussed the matter of establishing the inner cabinet with him, something he learned during his time at the Repairing Heaven Institute ¨C those in high positions need a supporting institution that wholeheartedly implements their will.


    With his intelligence and mature way of handling things, Yue Zutao quickly understood the role of the inner cabinet.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I suggest we also invite Elder Meng, the former Sect Leader, into the inner cabinet. He has a lot of influence within the sect¡¯s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, and the inner cabinet cannot be composed entirely of young people,¡± Yue Zutao advised.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it made sense, but he didn¡¯t know whether Meng Hong would be willing.


    After all, he had retired and had no hope for Core Formation. He seemed very content fishing and playing chess every day, and the inner cabinet would undoubtedly conflict with the traditions of the Divine Wood Sect in the future. Chen Mobai was not too keen on dragging him into it.


    ¡°We can first invite him to take a nominal position, and let Disciple Mu Yuan handle the specific affairs. I believe Elder Meng would be amenable to that.¡±


    Yue Zutao¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod in agreement. Mu Yuan also had exceptional talent; with some mentoring, he would at least not fall behind Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu.


    The two discussed once more, and Chen Mobai briefly revealed the reforms he planned to implement within the Divine Wood Sect and even across the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    Even Yue Zutao, with his wisdom, couldn¡¯t help feeling a tingling sensation in his scalp after hearing the plans.


    But what followed was an urge to witness and follow Chen Mobai as he changed the Eastern Wilderness and led the historic current.


    In this case, the mediocre were no longer considered.


    ¡°Xi Jinghuo has good talent, and you have always had utmost faith in him, so he could serve as a candidate for the cabinet,¡± suggested Yue Zutao.


    Chen Mobai nodded and entrusted the cabinet¡¯s affairs to him.


    He had intended to include Yu Lian as well, but upon reflection, Yu Lian¡¯s temperament tended toward the morose. Furthermore, Chen Mobai needed a sharp sword in the shadows, so he decided to observe and test him further.


    After confirming the Town Guards for the six nations, Chen Mobai, as the Sect Leader, issued supplementary provisions for the new policies.


    The Town Guards could establish small versions of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions within their own territories, which would be under the command of the Town Guard. They could choose their own leaders but had to report to and register with the sect for approval.


    Moreover, these small Three Halls and Twelve Divisions had to report their duties to the sect¡¯s equivalent each year and be subject to oversight.


    If there was a conflict between the orders of the Town Guard and the higher departments, the matter would be submitted to Shenmu Hall, where the Sect Leader or the cabinet would make the final decision.


    Chen Mobai slightly modified the Immortal Gate¡¯s system and applied it to the Divine Wood Sect.


    While ensuring that all powers had oversight and restrictions, he also sought to empower the Town Guards with strong subordinates.


    Zhou Wangshen, as a member of the Zhou family, displayed his extensive connections at this time, attracting three Foundation Establishment Practitioners from within the sect to serve as Hall Masters in the small Three Halls in Sky Country, and many disciples were willing to join him in the Twelve Divisions.


    Although E Yun had many friends, only Yuan Chiye was willing to follow him to Rock Country.


    After all, the news that Xuan Shu had re-established the Nanxuan sect at Treasure Color Mountain had spread. Rock Country was where one could most easily earn merits, but it was also the most dangerous of the six Town Guards.


    If the Divine Wood Sect went to war with the Nanxuan sect, the disciples in Rock Country would be in the most danger.


    As E Yun¡¯s supporter, Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t let him fall behind Zhou Wangshen, so he used his own connections to inquire with Qi Rui and Yu Lian.


    Both of them were Chen Mobai¡¯s direct subordinates, and without hesitation, they agreed to follow E Yun to Rock Country.


    In this way, the leaders of the three small Halls were assembled.


    It was the same with Hong He; three Foundation Establishment Practitioners were arranged from the Penalty Evil Hall to accompany him to Rain Country.


    Actually, Hong He had wanted to refuse since his choice of distant Rain Country was not due to a fear of war but because he did not want to be involved in the competition for the Sect Leader.


    However, being part of the sect, competition was inevitable; whatever Zhou Wangshen and E Yun had, his side must also have.

    Compared to them, the remaining three Town Guards, who had stepped down as deputy heads of the Twelve Divisions, found it somewhat awkward; only one or two Foundation Establishment Practitioners were willing to follow them.


    However, when it came to recruiting Qi Practitioners, they were much more efficient, as many disciples had originally been under their command.


    ¡°Once affairs here at the sect come to a close, I will also tour your territories and visit the other sects in the Eastern Wilderness. I hope the results will satisfy me,¡± Chen Mobai said as he bid farewell to the six.


    The matters here naturally referred to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    After that, he planned to visit the Five Elements Sect to investigate the disappearance of his little disciple in Ming Nation.

 Chapter 959 - Chapter 959 Chapter 527 Nanxuan Jings Storage Bag

    Chapter 959: Chapter 527: Nanxuan Jing¡¯s Storage Bag Chapter 959: Chapter 527: Nanxuan Jing¡¯s Storage Bag Chen Mobai sat erect in the wooden hut of his Taoist practice, clutching a talisman brush, fully absorbed in drawing a Taoist talisman paper.


    Next to him was a storage bag placed.


    This was Nanxuan Jing¡¯s!


    Having been in the Tianhe Realm for so many years, he had grown accustomed to opening storage bags, but the storage bag of a Golden Core Cultivator still filled him with anticipation.


    The reason he didn¡¯t open it immediately was that his Spiritual Consciousness Realm was not as advanced as Nanxuan Jing¡¯s, preventing him from opening it.


    The space talismans that could have solved this problem were ineffective because his standard as a Talisman Maker remained at Rank-2.


    The simplest method would be to go to the Immortal Gate to have a Rank-3 Talisman Maker custom-make a Rank-3 space talisman, but Chen Mobai, being inherently cautious, chose not to do so.


    Because at the Immortal Gate, every space talisman had to be registered at the Department of Law Enforcement before it could be traded.


    So Chen Mobai could only practice by himself.


    Fortunately, he was now a Golden Core Cultivator. The Rank-3 talisman papers, which used to be difficult for him, were gradually conquered and completed with his full dedication.


    With the final details filled in, this Rank-3 space talisman radiated spiritual light and was completely formed.


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh of relief and placed the talisman brush back on its rack.


    At that moment, a particularly crisp ¡°snap¡± sounded.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look up, only to see a fine crack had appeared on the tip of the talisman brush he had just used.


    ¡°I need to find a way to upgrade my main talisman brush.¡±


    Looking at this scene, Chen Mobai murmured to himself.


    The two main talisman brushes he owned had been custom-made with the help of Ming Yuhua over twenty years ago, and they had served their purpose well by now.


    However, now that he had achieved Core Formation and started delving into the realm of Rank-3 talisman papers with his cultivation arts, the Rank-2 main talisman brushes were proving insufficient.


    It seemed he would need to visit the Immortal Gate some time to inquire at the Talisman Masters Association, to see whether it was better to customize or to purchase directly.


    Chen Mobai had no intention of gathering materials for a Rank-3 talisman brush in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Because the Rank-3 spirit beasts were well accounted for at the Immortal Gate, he couldn¡¯t rashly present such high-level materials. He planned to save the excuse of the Void Blind Box for something crucial.


    Or he might look around in the Eastern Wilderness for a suitable Rank-3 talisman brush.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai picked up the Rank-3 space talisman from the table, a technique he had mastered after a month of diligent practice, infused it with spiritual power, and slapped it onto Nanxuan Jing¡¯s storage bag.


    Amidst the rustling noise,


    Chen Mobai¡¯s wooden hut was instantly filled to the brim. If not for promptly lifting the roof, it probably would have burst from the items spilling out of the storage bag.


    He never imagined that Nanxuan Jing¡¯s storage bag would contain so many items.


    Aside from the lustrous spirit stones, there were mountains of golden crystals, counting up to two thousand pieces.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up with pleasure.


    With these, plus what he had gained from the Land of Ruins, he now had nearly enough resources to cultivate the Precious Golden Light technique to its highest realm.


    As for why Nanxuan Jing had so many golden crystals, Chen Mobai had his speculations.


    Within the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, these golden crystals were even more precious than spirit stones as many spells required refining the golden energy within them to succeed, like the famous Sun Shooting Halberd Technique and the less orthodox Precious Golden Light!


    As the old ancestor of the Nanxuan sect, these golden crystals were likely allotted to Nanxuan Jing by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, not only for his own cultivation but also as the annual stipend for all disciples of the Nanxuan sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, these golden crystals should have been distributed over years, possibly every ten or even twenty years. After Nanxuan Jing was slain by Chen Mobai, these had all fallen into his hands along with the storage bag.


    After allocating a specific storage bag for the golden crystals, Chen Mobai then conducted a count of the spirit stones using his Divine Sense.


    This count brought him even more joy.


    Nanxuan Jing had amassed a considerable fortune, with a total of 256 top-grade spirit stones, far more than Chen Mobai¡¯s entire net worth.


    However, by Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, a Golden Core Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness should have at least a thousand top-grade spirit stones in their storage bag as a baseline.


    Perhaps the impression Fu Zongjue had left, nonchalantly handing him a hundred top-grade stones, had been too deep.


    After separately bagging the spirit stones as well, Chen Mobai started looking through the remaining miscellaneous items¨Cbeds, tables, stools, etc. It was clear that Nanxuan Jing also had a taste for luxury.


    Sweeping them with his Divine Sense and confirming they were mere ordinary spirit wood, Chen Mobai simply burned them with a flick of flame.


    What remained were several magic artifacts.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There were fragments of the Brocade Bead shattered by his Purple Electric Sword and numerous Golden Halberds refined using secret techniques from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, ranging from Rank-1 to Rank-3, presumably meant as rewards for the disciples under the Nanxuan sect.


    Chen Mobai selected one of each to keep as a collection and used a storage bag for miscellaneous items to store away the rest, planning to later offer them to the Artifact Refining Department to see whether it was better to melt them down or to enrich the sect¡¯s treasury.


    The last items to examine were over a dozen bottles of elixirs.


    Chen Mobai had always maintained a respectful distance from the elixirs of the Tianhe Realm, but the private collection of a Golden Core Cultivator was bound to be comprised of fine things.


    Out of caution, as well as curiosity, he called over Zeng Woyou.

 Chapter 960 - Chapter 960 527

    Chapter 960: 527 Chapter 960: 527 ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, this is the Mo Xuedan¡­ this is the Qiao Yuandan¡­ this is¡­¡±


    Zeng Woyou, worthy of being the head of the Alchemy Department, opened and sniffed each pill one by one, stating the name and effects of each elixir. However, when it came to a black pill, he seemed unsure.


    ¡°This might be the Blood Straining Gold Elixir. After taking it, one could fully recover from injuries and even achieve a higher level. It¡¯s a demonic elixir that hasn¡¯t circulated in the market, and I¡¯ve never seen it before, so I can¡¯t be certain.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered the encounter with Nanxuan Jing and approved of Zeng Woyou¡¯s judgment, nodding his head.


    ¡°Is this perhaps¡­ the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan?¡±


    At the very end, Zeng Woyou looked at a dark golden pill the size of a thumb, his voice trembling.


    ¡°Oh, is this elixir famous?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked somewhat curiously.


    ¡°This is the most famous elixir of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. No matter who takes it, they can extend their lifespan by twenty years.¡±


    ¡°Extend lifespan!¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked upon hearing this.


    This meant extending the innate lifespan, which was the most precious type of elixir even among the Immortal Gates. He hadn¡¯t expected the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to possess such an exquisite elixir.


    ¡°Though the effectiveness of the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan decreases with successive use, it¡¯s still hailed as the number one Spirit Pill in the East Barbarians. The Golden Wind Ancestor has relied on this elixir to barely cling to life until now.¡±


    After hearing Zeng Woyou¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    This was indeed the most precious item in Nanxuan Jing¡¯s storage bag. However, whether it could be consumed still needed to be checked by professionals.


    Thinking about whether he should fly to Wangwu Cave Heaven to meet Qing Nu at the end of the year, or have Qing Nu come to Yu Wood City to find him, Chen Mobai¡¯s Heavenly Communication Device suddenly rang.


    It was Yue Zutao looking for him.


    After sending Zeng Woyou away, Chen Mobai answered the Heavenly Communication Device and, upon learning of the situation, notified the inner cabinet to convene a meeting.


    After categorizing and dealing with the items in Nanxuan Jing¡¯s storage bag, Chen Mobai looked up again at the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was located.


    As the signs of Nascent Soul Formation became more and more resplendent, the spiritual energy of Giant Tree Ridge became increasingly uncontrollable.


    This left the Sect Disciples who remained at Giant Tree Ridge complaining endlessly.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the Qi Cultivating Disciples now do not dare to meditate and cultivate.¡±


    Listening to Yue Zutao¡¯s report, Chen Mobai also felt a bit of a headache.


    The spiritual energy of Giant Tree Ridge was being drawn by Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Transforming Infant, such that even he, a Golden Core Cultivator, could only barely compete for it.


    Foundation Establishment Practitioners were better off, wealthy enough to use spiritual energy from Spirit Stones for their cultivation in the short term.


    But the Qi Practitioners couldn¡¯t do that. Many disciples were struggling, keeping Spirit Stones only for critical moments when breaking through their realms.


    So now that they couldn¡¯t absorb nature¡¯s spiritual energy, the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect had started to grumble.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°How many Qi Cultivating Disciples do we have in the sect currently?¡±


    Yue Zutao: ¡°There are 2,687 registered disciples, with about 1,500 of them in Giant Tree Ridge. Recently, quite a few disciples have been taking on tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, preparing to leave.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect claimed to have three thousand Qi Cultivators, but after three consecutive wars, they had lost four to five hundred Disciples. However, two years ago, they recruited a couple of hundred more from the six countries, replenishing some new blood.


    When the Six Nation Town Guards left the Sect, they also took about a hundred or so Qi Cultivating Disciples each with them.


    Among these were not only the basic Qi Cultivators but also many former true inheritors.


    For instance, Qi Hou, known by Chen Mobai, went to Rock Country with E Yun.


    After failing their Foundation Establishment twice, these individuals had their Essence Blood and Elemental Energy somewhat depleted, and within the Sect, they couldn¡¯t compete with the new true inheritors; they basically had no chance of receiving a Foundation Building Pill again, so they wished to gamble on one last chance.


    It is precisely because of this that those who are still in the Divine Wood Sect are the core members and the future.


    ¡°Let¡¯s all share our thoughts and see if there¡¯s a way to solve this,¡±


    Chen Mobai sat at the main seat in one of the side halls of Shenmu Hall, while Meng Hong, Mu Yuan, Yue Zutao, Xi Jinghuo, Luo Xue¡¯er, and Yan Jinye took their seats on both sides.


    This was essentially the embryonic form of the inner cabinet. Today was their first meeting, called to discuss the issue of Qi Cultivating Disciples being unable to sit in meditation and absorb spiritual energy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s distribute Spirit Stones to everyone,¡± Xi Jinghuo was the first to speak up. ¡°Zhou Laozu¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ will last at most two years, so we can give the Qi Cultivating Disciples in Giant Tree Ridge five Low-grade Spirit Stones every month, which is just over ten thousand stones in total.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo had just made a suggestion, but Luo Xue¡¯er, who was in control of Reward Virtue Hall, immediately shook her head in refusal. She knew the current situation of the sect¡¯s reserves best.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, ¡°Three major battles have almost exhausted our sect¡¯s reserve of Spirit Stones. The remaining ones need to be conserved for emergencies, and we¡¯re already replacing the Spirit Stones normally issued as salaries with Spirit Rice. We really can¡¯t afford to spare any extra Spirit Stones. I have no objections if they are willing to sign IOUs.¡±


    Yue Zutao, ¡°These Spirit Stones are essential for the Qi Cultivating Disciples¡¯ cultivation in Giant Tree Ridge. If we ask them to sign IOUs, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll truly lose the people¡¯s hearts.¡±


    Yan Jinye, ¡°Then how about distributing Elixirs?¡±


    Ever since Chen Mobai spread his teachings, the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who were eager for Foundation Establishment no longer consumed Elixirs as unrestrainedly as before. However, the price of such substances remained high on the outside market and was still very popular among Loose Cultivators and the lower-ranked disciples.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Nephew Meng, do you have any insights?¡±


    After everyone had taken their turn to speak, Chen Mobai saw that Meng Hong remained calm and composed, so he turned to him and asked.


    Meng Hong, ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, it is absolutely impossible to distribute Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and other subsidies.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward him. Chen Mobai smiled slightly, signaling for him to continue.


    ¡°If we were to distribute, we would have to consider not only the disciples within the sect but also those outside, because it is not scarcity we fear but uneven distribution. If we do that, the disciples in Giant Tree Ridge would feel they¡¯ve been treated unfairly. How can they accept that outsiders enjoy the same benefits they¡¯ve suffered for within the sect? Such balance is impossible to maintain.¡±


    Realization dawned on the others as they listened to Meng Hong¡¯s analysis.


    Indeed, experience speaks for itself; the way he looked at the issue was deeper and more thorough than them.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Then in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?¡±


    Meng Hong, ¡°The best way is to pretend ignorance. If any disciple below dares to complain about this, it¡¯ll be a sign of disloyalty to the sect. We can just dispatch the Penalty Evil Hall to apprehend and suppress them!¡±


    Upon hearing this statement, everyone fell into contemplation.


    Chen Mobai observed Meng Hong, who spoke such harsh words with a calm expression, and couldn¡¯t help feeling that things indeed were different here in the Eastern Wilderness compared to the Immortal Gates; there was no need to consider public resentment here. What they were best at was high-pressure governance.


    In comparison to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ even if all the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were sacrificed, Meng Hong would probably find it acceptable.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Does anyone else have something different to say?¡±


    Yue Zutao looked hesitant, but after giving it some more thought, he still felt that Meng Hong¡¯s approach was the most suitable for the current situation.


    ¡°Within the sect, how many tasks can we distribute?¡±


    Seeing that they had fallen silent again, Chen Mobai asked another question.


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, regular tasks like inspections of other institutes, harvesting from the Spirit Field Medicine Fields, and nurturing Spirit Beasts can accommodate assigning tasks for another 300 disciples.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er immediately responded, as all the Spirit Stone budgets for the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were distributed by her annually, so she had a rough estimate of these projects.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What about Yun Meng Ze?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This question prompted the others to look at each other in bewilderment.


    Being the foremost treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness, it could accommodate not just the Divine Wood Sect but half of the Qi Practitioners in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Leave a sufficient number of people able to activate the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, open hunting missions for Demonic Beasts to the sect disciples, and send them to the Fang Market in Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    ¡°We can also allocate some personnel to the six nations: the mining operations in Rock Country, the fisheries of Yun Country, the Spirit Fruits of Rain Country, and so on. Let the town guards of each country coordinate this. It provides mutual benefits and manpower.¡±


    ¡°As for the remaining disciples within the sect, let the Formation Division and Spirit Vein Division work together to designate an area, set up a formation to stabilize the spiritual energy, and allow them to cultivate normally.¡±

 Chapter 961 - Chapter 961 Chapter 528 The Order of Cultivation (Makeup 2)

    Chapter 961: Chapter 528: The Order of Cultivation (Makeup 2) Chapter 961: Chapter 528: The Order of Cultivation (Makeup 2) Chen Mobai¡¯s three points were swiftly acted upon.


    He was, in his own way, beginning to subtly change the atmosphere within the Divine Wood Sect.


    With positive responses from the upper ranks of the sect, disciples of Qi Cultivation who had been harboring grievances and unease could now set their minds at ease.


    Whether they carried out tasks outside or stayed within the sect, there were choices for everyone.


    However, the formation for normalizing spiritual energy and the designated area needed more time to be completed, so most disciples opted to take on the ample tasks offered by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    In Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming was overjoyed as she received a whole set of Talisman Brushes from Chen Mobai.


    Apart from the two main Talisman Brushes, the ¡°Tian Shu Talisman Brush Set¡± purchased from the Immortal Gate was included. For Chen Mobai, now wealthy, buying another set was merely a drop in the bucket.


    Zhuo Ming used to serve at Chen Mobai¡¯s side, grinding ink and laying out paper before she established her foundation, and she had long envied this functionally-complete set of Talisman Brushes.


    In her dreams, she had wondered if one day her master would pass this set down to her.


    After all, within the Xiao Nanshan lineage, she was the only Talisman Maker.


    Now that it truly came into her hands, Zhuo Ming still felt as if she were dreaming, a dream come true, filled with happiness.


    At this moment, she felt as if she had taken up Chen Mobai¡¯s mantle, truly inheriting her master¡¯s two most outstanding skills.


    [Indeed, I am the most like my master.]


    Thinking thus, Zhuo Ming¡¯s lips curved slightly upwards, hardly able to contain her joy.


    Just then, a refreshing fragrance wafted from halfway up the mountain, a scent so revitalizing that even Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, couldn¡¯t help but feel clear-headed and refreshed.


    ¡°Master, the Enlightenment White Tea has reached Rank-2. It seems it knew you were coming today and chose today to successfully transform,¡± said Zhuo Ming, sensing the reason with a shift of her consciousness and spoke a pleasing remark.


    ¡°Hahaha, what a coincidence, let¡¯s go have a look,¡± replied Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai had great hopes for this Enlightenment White Tea, for it was the product of decades of cultivation by Wen Ren Xuewei, aimed at reproducing the effects of ¡°Enlightenment Tea.¡±


    According to her, once the tea plant reached Rank-3, it would possess a tenth of the Enlightenment Tea¡¯s effects.


    And importantly, once mature, the tea plant could yield leaves every year ¨C a critical aid for someone with merely average enlightenment like Chen Mobai, who saw it as a key to potentially advancing further.


    Master and disciple arrived at the Enlightenment White Tea. Zhuo Ming immediately picked some tender shoots, and Chen Mobai personally stir-fried them with Pure Yang Fire.


    This Pure Yang Fire is the most balanced and neutral True Fire when not used against evil spirits, making it perfect for stir-frying tea leaves, which turned into flat and lustrous pieces like green jade, perfectly sealing in the aroma and flavor.


    After boiling some Mountain Spring Water, they steeped the tea leaves, and the light green tea, once sipped, cleansed and refreshed the palate, even the troubles and distractions in one¡¯s mind seemed washed away by the tea.


    Chen Mobai meditated with closed eyes and, after the time it took an incense stick to burn, opened his clear eyes with a smile on his lips.


    This Rank-2 tea leaf possessed roughly one percent of the Enlightenment Tea¡¯s efficacy.


    During that cup of tea, he had understood a difficult aspect of a Rank-3 talisman.


    Seeing its effectiveness, Chen Mobai was not one to be shy, promptly picking all the leaves from the newly advanced Enlightenment White Tea plant.


    A pity, though, that even so, it would only suffice for about ten days¡¯ use.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, your talent in Spirit Plant cultivation is exceptional. If you focus deeply on this path, your achievements will be limitless. As for Talismans, just dabble in your spare time, and remember not to get too distracted by them.¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai somewhat regretted giving Zhuo Ming the set of Talisman Brushes he had used during his Foundation Establishment period; his disciple could have brought out the maximum value by focusing wholeheartedly on Spirit Plant cultivation.


    ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely inherit all of your mantle, no matter how hard or tiring it is. I will make progress in both Spirit Plants and Talismans and won¡¯t let you down,¡± said Zhuo Ming, who mistook Chen Mobai¡¯s concern as a reflection on her talent in talismans. Clutching the set of brushes tightly, she spoke with firm resolve.


    ¡°Alright then, carry on with your work,¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s lips twitched slightly, and with nothing more to say, he left the rest of the tea water with Zhuo Ming before returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Yue Zutao was a very capable man.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the decades of his suppressed cultivation, he had learned about astronomy, geography, Spirit Plants, Elixirs, Artifact Refining, and more, almost a master of all. And in the three major battles with the Shake Mountain Top South Xuan Sect, he had proved his ability to handle troops, manage the Fang Market, and even lead a country.


    With his wholehearted support, Chen Mobai, as Sect Leader, only needed to make key decisions; Yue Zutao would handle the myriad minor details.


    But even so, Chen Mobai still felt his time was too limited.


    After Core Formation, aside from meditating to cultivate Spiritual Power, the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Precious Golden Light, the Longevity Dao Body, and also the Red Flame Sword Jue, various Rank-3 talismans, and more required time.


    Luckily, he had over five hundred years of lifespan left; otherwise, with so many things to cultivate, he truly felt he might not be able to perfect them all.

 Chapter 962 - Chapter 962 528

    Chapter 962: 528 Chapter 962: 528 But in order to avoid affecting the progress of his cultivation level, Chen Mobai still prioritized these matters.


    The Pure Yang Scroll naturally took first place!


    It was not only the foundation of his cultivation technique, but also the reliance on whether he could achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± or even Divinity Transformation!


    Therefore, the Pure Yang Daoist Body was also very important. Since he began cultivating this technique, Chen Mobai had not wasted a single day in refining spirit stones to improve.


    To refine his body into the Seven Yang, he needed to refine nine top-grade spirit stones, and as of today, he had already refined two.


    According to his estimate, in about a year and a half, he would be able to refine the third one, enhancing his Fire Spirit Root once again.


    Besides the Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body, the second priority for Chen Mobai was originally the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    After all, it was necessary to conceal his true foundation in the Eastern Wilderness, and this sword technique seemed to suit him very well.


    After Core Formation, Chen Mobai¡¯s Fire Spirit Body progressed further, and the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root had already been aroused.


    With his current talent, if those from the era of Fen Tianjing Di saw him, they would snatch him up to make him a Taoist Child, no matter what.


    In terms of fire attribute cultivation techniques, there were no better talents than his.


    Therefore, after thoroughly understanding the essence of the Red Flame Sword Jue, Chen Mobai easily grasped all of its intricacies.


    Whether it was executing the Flame Sun Slash or the Extreme Sun Slash, he already had the correct method for handling and displaying them in his mind.


    However, as he had yet to elevate the Green Flames Sword Slaughter into ¡°Golden Flame¡± due to insufficient power, he could not utilize them yet.


    But the condensing and elevation of this Golden Flame demanded a dedication of time and hard work!


    According to the Red Flame Sword Jue, a person of supreme talent could use alchemy flames and spiritual power to condense and, in ten years, obtain a Golden Flame.


    To this, Chen Mobai felt it was simply too wasteful of time.


    With that time, he would rather cultivate the Longevity Dao Body or the Precious Golden Light.


    After all, the Golden Flame wouldn¡¯t bring much improvement to him. It was only useful in a Magic Duel and redundant with the Purple Electric Sword.


    And even if he managed to cultivate it, he feared its power might not even match the Purple Electric Sword!


    Luckily, he had just recently succeeded the role of Sect Leader and had not yet had the chance to waste time on the Red Flame Sword Jue. Now, after opening the storage bag from Nanxuan Jing and acquiring so many Golden Crystals, he could shift that portion of time to cultivate the Precious Golden Light.


    According to his estimate, after completing the Seven Yang Body, he should be able to cultivate this secret technique to the third layer.


    What remained was the Longevity Dao Body.


    This Body Refining Technique required ¡°Longevity Dew¡± made by blending the sap from the Longevity Tree.


    This was an alchemy recipe Luo Yixuan obtained from the Talent Tree.


    Chen Mobai had already given the recipe to Zeng Woyou to ponder upon, while also having him prepare the other auxiliary medicines for starting the alchemy process.


    It was fortunate that Gu Yan had offered up the secret technique for extracting Longevity Tree sap; otherwise, Chen Mobai might have already given up on the Longevity Dao Body.


    At that thought, a message suddenly arrived through the Heavenly Communication Device.


    It was from Chu Zuoshu.


    He tactfully indicated that he had finished refining the Longevity Tree Sap bestowed by Elder Chen.


    After reading the message, Chen Mobai once again took action, spending a day to extract ten drops of Longevity Tree Sap and sealed them in a White Jade Vase.


    The next day, Chu Zuoshu came in person.


    After stepping down as Sect Leader, his complexion had improved greatly. Having refined the Longevity Tree Sap, his skin had begun to turn fair, seemingly making him look years younger.


    After receiving the White Jade Vase, Chu Zuoshu was extremely grateful.


    Since Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure to what extent Chu Zuoshu could cultivate his Wood Spirit Body before Nascent Soul Formation, he instructed him to inform him each time he finished using the Longevity Tree Sap, so he could provide ample resources as much as possible.


    After all, with his Nascent Soul cultivation level, the ten drops he could extract in a day were enough for Chu Zuoshu to refine for nearly half a year.


    But if in the future he himself was to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body while Zeng Woyou needed to continually refine the Longevity Dew, no amount of Longevity Tree Sap would be enough.


    Chen Mobai thought about the prospect of having to extract Longevity Tree Sap day after day, year after year, and felt that his life as a Nascent Soul Ancestor and leader of the Divine Wood Sect was a bit too strenuous.


    ¡°It won¡¯t do, I must utilize the advantages of my identity and find someone to take my place.¡±


    With that thought, Chen Mobai immediately thought of someone.


    He quickly contacted Zhuo Ming using the Heavenly Communication Device, and soon enough, she arrived with another close friend.


    ¡°Greetings to the Sect Leader Ancestor!¡±


    Upon entering, Gu Yan, with her clear and graceful demeanor, somewhat nervously saluted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Niece Gu, I have a task for you, consider it a personal mission I¡¯m entrusting you with¡­¡±


    With a pleasant expression, Chen Mobai explained his intentions to Gu Yan, asking her to help extract the Longevity Tree Sap.


    This secret technique was something she had acquired from the Talent Tree, and given that she also practiced Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques, her efficiency might not match that of a Golden Core Cultivator like him, but among all the Foundation Establishment practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect, she was definitely the most suitable candidate.


    ¡°Graced by the trust of the Sect Leader Ancestor, I am very willing,¡± replied Gu Yan, nodding continuously.


    For her, this was an immense opportunity; not just anyone in the sect could get so close to a Nascent Soul Ancestor.


    Moreover, she hadn¡¯t been able to make much use of this secret technique; after all, the Divine Wood Sect had only three Everlife Woods.


    Gu Yan had already decided to give her best performance, hoping that one day Elder Chen would take notice and accept her into Xiao Nanshan, elevating her to the honored position of a direct disciple.


    Holding on to this thought, Gu Yan would come to Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo whenever she had the time.


    However, since her cultivation was only at Foundation Establishment, the efficiency of her extraction wasn¡¯t high.


    Even with Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance on some tricks, at best she could only extract one drop per day.


    But with her assistance, Chen Mobai was able to set this matter aside, freeing up more time for himself to cultivate and comprehend other matters.


    Time flew by, and half a year had passed.


    Zeng Woyou initiated an alchemy process to refine the Longevity Dew, but unfortunately, since it was an Ancient Elixir Method and differed somewhat from the current alchemy system, he failed.


    Although disappointed, Chen Mobai had been prepared for this and asked Gu Yan to continue extracting the Longevity Tree Sap, to assist Zeng Woyou in refining the second batch of Longevity Dew.


    That day, he took Yue Zutao to inspect the three peaceful spiritual energy cultivation fields established by the Formation Division and Spirit Vein Division within Giant Tree Ridge.


    Originally, there was only one area, but Chen Mobai had planned according to the standards of the Immortal Gate¡¯s cultivation rooms, where each Qi Cultivating Disciple could train for free for an hour each day.


    However, as many disciples returned from their missions, that single area became insufficient.


    Now, apart from these three, a fourth cultivation area with Rank-2 spiritual energy was also under construction, reserved for those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    Each area was divided into a hundred Cultivation Rooms, ensuring that everyone could have their turn each day.


    ¡°Sect Leader, is it possible to also allocate areas with Rank-3 or even Rank-4 spiritual energy?¡±


    Seeing such great benefits for the Qi Cultivating Disciples, some Foundation Establishment Practitioners grew restless and voiced their opinions during a sect meeting.


    In response, Chen Mobai stated that it was in the plans. The distribution of the spirit vein aura in Giant Tree Ridge was too scattered, and he planned to reassess everything after Zhou Shengqing completed his Nascent Soul Formation. Ideally, all spiritual energy distribution would be controlled by the sect, with cultivators using the grade of spiritual energy corresponding to their cultivation level. To access higher grades, they would need to exchange sect contributions or Spirit Stones.


    But these things would have to proceed slowly; Chen Mobai was not in a rush.


    After the meeting, he visited Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang. Zhou Shengqing was absorbing more and more spiritual energy, and his Nascent Soul Formation was likely within the next two or three months.


    The closer it got to that time, the less they could afford to lower their guard.

    Chen Mobai immediately ordered the Formation Division to ensure the Array of Ten Thousand Woods was in a state of readiness, then also instructed each national Town Guard to keep a close eye on the major factions nearby.


    This included Xuan Shu from Nanxuan Sect, Yan Shaoyin from Back to Sky Valley, and Kong Lingling from Snow-blowing Palace.


    Even the Five Elements Sect was advised to be vigilant, with Hong He paying special attention.


    That day, above Giant Tree Ridge!


    Drops of crystal-clear Spirit Dew shone brilliantly as they drizzled onto the tallest Longevity Wood. An immense and unprecedented surge of power began to rise¡­

 Chapter 963 - Chapter 963 Chapter 529 Fall

    Chapter 963: Chapter 529: Fall Chapter 963: Chapter 529: Fall Ming Nation, Hunyuan Immortal City.


    After waiting for a month, Zhao Xuankang finally met the person he wished to see.


    Kong Shanxu led him into a vast courtyard within the Immortal City, which even boasted a lake. The crystal-clear waters were home to various colored Spirit Fish, whose movements shimmered in the sunlight, casting a spectrum of rainbow ripples.


    On a pavilion by the lake stood a refined and handsome male Cultivator.


    Dressed in dark cyan robes, with a high headpiece and wide belt, a piece of white jade hung at his waist. From time to time, he scattered a handful of fish food into the lake, drawing the multitude of colorful Spirit Fish towards him as they vied for the treat.


    ¡°True Person Zhou really knows how to keep his composure, to be so leisurely even now,¡±


    Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Xuankang couldn¡¯t help but speak to the man by the lake.


    This person was none other than the Golden Core Ancestor of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Ye, who had inherited most of Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s legacy.


    ¡°I was at a critical moment in my recent closed-door cultivation, which made you, True Person Zhao, wait for a long time.¡±


    Zhou Ye said evenly, slowly scattering the rest of the fish food over the lake¡¯s surface before turning around and gesturing for Zhao Xuankang to sit down.


    ¡°Between us, there¡¯s no longer any need for such courteous words. Zhou Shengqing is undergoing ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ and yet you truly do nothing?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang asked Zhou Ye with a frown.


    ¡°And what should I do? Mobilize all the cultivators from the Five Elements Sect to attack Giant Tree Ridge?¡±


    Zhou Ye remained unfazed. A beautiful and tall Female Cultivator in a white dress came over to prepare tea for the two Golden Core Cultivators, while Kong Shanxu fetched another box of feed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Zhou Shengqing was personally expelled from the Five Elements Sect by you. Once he succeeds in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ the first vendetta he¡¯ll want to avenge is to unseat you and take back Hunyuan Immortal City for himself,¡±


    Zhao Xuankang¡¯s words elicited a wordless chuckle from Zhou Ye. He took the tea from the Female Cultivator beside him, took a gentle sip, and then picked up more feed from the table and walked to the edge of the lake.


    ¡°True Person Zhao is mistaken. My second senior brother and I only had a clash of principles; thus we split our ways after the passing of our master. If he can succeed in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ I would willingly give him not just Hunyuan Immortal City, but even the entire Five Elements Sect,¡±


    Zhou Ye said with a smile even as he continued to sprinkle feed over the lake.


    The Spirit Fish that had scattered after their meal were once again attracted back towards him.


    ¡°Do you believe your own words?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang didn¡¯t take the tea, standing instead beside Zhou Ye and staring at him coldly.


    ¡°Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant. Seventy years ago, I clearly recognized that my third and fourth seniors didn¡¯t share the same heart as I, and if it¡¯s just me, the first thing on my mind when facing three Nascent-soul cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect would be to preserve what I have now, not to risk my life with you on an impractical venture.¡±


    After Zhou Ye said this, Zhao Xuankang knew that it would be impossible to incite him to act against the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing to act, I can muster seven Golden Core Cultivators. All we need to do is take a round over Giant Tree Ridge. Even if we cannot break the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, we could affect Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.''¡±


    Hearing this, Zhou Ye¡¯s eyebrows twitched in surprise, giving Zhao Xuankang an unexpected glance.


    ¡°Which seven?¡±


    ¡°Me, junior brother Xuan Shu, a Loose cultivator Nascent-soul from the East Barbarians, and three side sect cultivators who wish to keep their identities confidential. If you join us, we could together persuade Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling, with more than a fifty percent chance of success.¡±


    Such words meant at most, they could rally nine Nascent-soul cultivators!


    If Zhou Ye could persuade the other two from the Five Elements Sect as well, their assembly would be all the more formidable.


    With eleven Nascent-soul cultivators willing to go all out, even a Rank-4 Array of Ten Thousand Woods might not be able to withstand their assault!


    ¡°How about that, are you tempted?¡±


    Zhao Xuankang pursued the question when he saw Zhou Ye¡¯s silence. Over the past half a year, he had used up over three hundred years¡¯ worth of connections built during his time at the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to scrape together such an array of allies.


    It was all to succeed in one fell swoop, to utterly destroy the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°True Person Zhao, which of these Spirit Fish do you find the most beautiful?¡±


    At that moment, Zhou Ye suddenly spoke, but pointed at the colorful fish in the lake, diverting the topic.


    ¡°That one.¡±


    Zhao Xuankang didn¡¯t understand his intention but casually pointed to a translucent Spirit Fish, shiny as white jade.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Indeed, it was the most beautiful, encircled by the other fish at the center, leisurely swallowing the fish food falling from above. The colorful scales of the surrounding fish reflected upon it, enveloping it in a radiant, multi-colored light, stunningly beautiful.


    ¡°In a year¡¯s time, this fish will grow to its most plump state. When True Person Zhao comes by then, how about I treat you to this Spirit Fish?¡±


    Zhou Ye laughed as he pointed to the white jade-like transparent Spirit Fish, marking its back with a golden streak using his Spiritual Power, before scattering all of the remaining feed into the water.


    ¡°If you enjoy it, then do so. Ever since junior brother Nanxuan Jing died, I¡¯ve hardly had any appetite,¡±


    Zhao Xuankang said coldly, trying to bring the conversation back to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Life is brief. We, Golden Core Cultivators, live at most for five hundred years. We should enjoy life while we can. The taste of this colorful Spirit Fish is quite rare; even my respected master used to praise it unceasingly when he was alive.¡±

 Chapter 964 - Chapter 964 Chapter 529 Fall_2

    Chapter 964: Chapter 529: Fall_2 Chapter 964: Chapter 529: Fall_2 ¡°`


    When he reached this point, Zhao Xuankang had already understood Zhou Ye¡¯s intentions.


    The two exchanged glances but said no more.


    ¡°I won¡¯t wait for a year. If you miss this opportunity, when we eventually overthrow the Divine Wood Sect, don¡¯t regret it,¡± Zhao Xuankang said.


    After uttering these words, Zhao Xuankang turned and left the pavilion.


    ¡°Senior Zhao, let me see you out¡­¡±


    Kong Shanxu, witnessing this scene, immediately followed Zhao Xuankang out.


    Within the Hunyuan Immortal City, a no-fly formation was in place, and this courtyard was one of its hubs, hence Zhao Xuankang needed guidance to come and go.


    ¡°Master, why did you invite him for a year later?¡±


    After Zhao Xuankang left, the maid in a white gown who had been silently serving tea lifted her head. She got up and handed over the cup of tea she held in her hands to Zhou Ye, asking curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m familiar with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s foundation. By then, the results of his ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ would definitely be out,¡± said Zhou Ye as he calmly accepted the porcelain tea cup.


    ¡°If this second senior brother truly succeeds, then the two of us will take our master¡¯s legacy and leave the Eastern Wilderness, leaving this Hunyuan Immortal City to him.¡±


    ¡°But if he fails, then no one can blame me for being heartless and putting righteousness before family.¡±


    Zhou Ye, after taking a sip from the tea cup, spoke of his plans matter-of-factly.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why not join forces with Zhao Xuankang now to eliminate any possibility of Zhou Shengqing achieving ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯?¡±


    The beautiful woman known as Green Pearl had followed Zhou Ye for over a hundred years; they had developed the closest of bonds.


    Zhou Ye hails from a cultivator family within the Eastern Wu Territory. Having fallen on hard times, he, along with his maid Green Pearl, set up a stall in Yun Meng Ze to hunt demonic beasts. On a fateful day, they caught the eye of Ancestor Hunyuan, who was passing by, and Zhou Ye was taken as a disciple. He then soared to great heights and now governed the number one Immortal City of the Eastern Wilderness, commanding the Five Elements.


    It wasn¡¯t just his exceptional talent that allowed Zhou Ye to reach his present status. His intelligence and wisdom were also top-notch, which is why Ancestor Hunyuan singled him out to inherit his mantle before passing away in meditation.


    Zhou Ye: ¡°If I did this, then my third junior brother and fourth junior sister would never wholeheartedly align themselves with me.¡±


    Green Pearl: ¡°They¡¯re just fickle opportunists; why bother about them?¡±


    Zhou Ye: ¡°If I relied on myself to cultivate that Primordial Dao Fruit, I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t happen until my dying days. They will surely pass away in meditation before I do. If they willingly bestow their spiritual power to me before they pass, at the very least it would save me a hundred years¡¯ worth of hard cultivation.¡±


    Green Pearl: ¡°They are all such ungrateful people. Ancestor Hunyuan specified that you should inherit the Immortal City, yet they are unwilling and have even caused division within the family.¡±


    Zhou Ye did not respond to this, his gaze fixed upon a spirit fish in the lake which he had tagged, as he revealed the final reason.


    ¡°My second senior brother is bound to fail in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.¡¯ Since his failure is inevitable, why should I risk alienating my third junior brother and fourth junior sister by joining forces with outsiders to attack Giant Tree Ridge?¡±


    Green Pearl was baffled by his words.


    ¡°Master, why is Zhou Shengqing bound to fail in his ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯?¡±


    ¡°If ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ were that simple, then why would I bother with the strenuous cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit?¡± Zhou Ye said, his words heavy with implication.


    He downed the tea in his cup, gazing at the tagged spirit fish swimming in the lake, his eyes deep with thought.


    ¡­


    Giant Tree Ridge.


    The signs of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ were approaching the final moment.


    Even Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, found it challenging to control nature¡¯s spiritual energy surrounding the Everlife Wood.


    The guardians, Fu Zongjue, and Mo Douguang, could only stay away from Zhou Shengqing¡¯s seclusion area.


    They took turns patrolling the surroundings, sweeping continuously with their Divine Sense in addition to the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, to prevent equally ranked enemies from lurking in the shadows.


    As expected, before long, a pitch-black cloud approach from the distant horizon, which Chen Mobai dispersed, leaving only the head of an underworld official accompanied by two other ghost cultivators, their presence flickering in and out of sight.


    The other two ghost cultivators were familiar to Chen Mobai as well; they were the same pair who had shown up during Meng Hong¡¯s ¡®Golden Core Formation.¡¯


    One of them was indeed the ghost cultivator who had taken possession of Lady Guo¡¯s corpse.


    Chen Mobai had the mind to test his Pure Yang Scroll once more, to see if the Divine Transformation Technique had an upper limit against demonic traits.


    However, on the other side of the sky, another familiar figure appeared.


    It was Xuan Shu from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    This was indeed a formidable enemy, and Chen Mobai admitted that he was no match for him. In order to avoid being blocked by him and unable to return to the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, he had to temporarily let go of the three Ghost Cultivators.


    Besides Xuan Shu, there was also a figure, elusive as a ghost, hiding in another part of the sky. This person seemed to have cultivated a secret technique that could shield from Divine Sense, and the three of them had not discovered it at first.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of the Void Spirit Eye had reached peak mastery. Once he noticed that the clouds at the edge of the sky were somewhat discordant and observed them carefully, he indeed discerned the shape of a person concealed within them.


    To be able to achieve this was, without question, the work of a Golden Core Cultivator.


    But who could it be?


    After learning of this, Fu Zongjue speculated that it might be Zhao Xuankang.


    However, he soon overturned this conclusion, because a few days later, Zhao Xuankang also appeared openly, standing together with Xuan Shu without assaulting Giant Tree Ridge¨Cmerely standing there, exerting pressure.


    ¡°As long as we don¡¯t leave the Large Formation, the ambush lying in wait in the dark is useless.¡±


    Chen Mobai and his two companions had always remained still, focusing on protecting Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    Once they confirmed this, the three of them faced off against Xuan Shu and the others from across the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    Neither side spoke a word, simply waiting in silence.


    After an unknown number of days and nights, the nature¡¯s spiritual energy within Giant Tree Ridge had gathered to its peak, turning into tangible clusters of Spiritual Light, resembling fist-sized hailstones pelting toward Zhou Shengqing.


    A colossal phantom rose from the top of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s head, an immense light so vast it seemed to cover the sky, swallowing all the Spiritual Light and converting it into nourishment for itself.


    The Light became increasingly intense, from the initially human-shaped outline, the seven orifices gradually emerged, followed by the features and limbs becoming defined and more and more visually aligned with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s physical form.


    At that moment, a dazzling golden radiance like a meteor from beyond the heavens flared up in Xuan Shu¡¯s palm, crossing half the sky in an instant, and fell above Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai immediately flew out the Six Yang God Fire Mirror, using his own strength to block the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique.


    The Array of Ten Thousand Woods, when activated, would consume the Qi of the Spirit Veins, and right now Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation required an immense amount of spiritual energy.


    Unless it was a matter of life and death, they were reluctant to activate the Array of Ten Thousand Woods!


    There was a dull clang!


    The golden meteor struck the hemispherical barrier above, igniting brilliant sparks in the air above Giant Tree Ridge and causing the air to explode and roar with the force.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this time, Xuan Shu and Zhao Xuankang unexpectedly made their move again, each hurling out four Golden Halberds with their hands.


    Amid the clanging sounds, Mo Douguang¡¯s Longevity Sword unsheathed, deflecting one of the halberds in an instant, and Fu Zongjue also brought out his ultimate weapon, the Purple Sun Puppet, forcibly grasping another.


    But there was no way to stop the remaining two!


    The Array of Ten Thousand Woods had to be activated!


    A bright emerald green barrier suddenly lit up, enveloping the entire Giant Tree Ridge. The two halberds hit it, causing only a ripple before their force was neutralized, and they fell to the ground.


    But Xuan Shu and the others had achieved their goal.


    After the Array of Ten Thousand Woods was activated, it passively drained the Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s already precarious phantom significantly wobbled, as if it would disintegrate at any moment!


    Sss! Sss! Sss!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this crucial moment, the three Ghost Cultivators acted at the same time. Crimson, pitch-black, and dark green Spiritual Power burst forth, each controlling a Red Flower, a Bone Pearl, and a Curved Knife Artifact to strike the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Electric Sword leapt into action, intending to stop them, but Xuan Shu also spat out his Gold Jade Treasure Pearl, stubbornly coming forward to intercept.


    With a boom, the Array of Ten Thousand Woods shook again after being struck by the three Ghost Cultivators.


    Following this, a sigh resonated!


    At mid-air, the grand phantom of Zhou Shengqing completely disintegrated, turning into a sky full of Light as it fell!

 Chapter 965 - Chapter 965 530

    Chapter 965: 530 Chapter 965: 530 Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul phantom shattered, and the Golden Core Cultivators who were currently attacking the Array of Ten Thousand Woods became even more vigorous.


    This signified that their objective had been realized.


    They might even push further, perhaps eradicating the Divine Wood Sect in the near future.


    A Nascent-soul Loose Cultivator, who had been watching from the shadows, finally couldn¡¯t sit still any longer. He cast off his disguise, revealing a thin and comely middle-aged man. He took out a Flying Sword, which transformed into a surge of blue waves, and joined Xuan Shu and the others in attacking the Array of Ten Thousand Woods!


    With six Golden Core Cultivators making their move, the Array of Ten Thousand Woods could still hold on, but if this were to persist over time, there would eventually come a day when it could no longer withstand the assault.


    The Cultivators within the Divine Wood Sect who witnessed this scene, some of them even grabbed all their belongings and ran towards the Teleportation Array, preparing to flee Giant Tree Ridge before the Sect¡¯s Large Formation could be breached.


    However, many more Cultivators, under the leadership of steadfast Sect members like Chu Zuoshu, continued to maintain the Large Formation¡¯s operation and resisted the invaders.


    ¡°Brother Zhou!¡±


    By this time, Chen Mobai and the other two had transformed into Escaping Light and rushed to the front of the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion.


    Zhou Shengqing struggled to lift his head to look at them, then raised his head and faintly smiled, propping his right hand on the branch of the Everlife Wood beneath him as if trying to stand up.


    Mo Douguang immediately went over to help him; the two of them had supported each other since their days in the Five Elements Sect, and they were closer than real brothers.


    ¡°Do you remember what Master said before his Passing Away in Meditation, Junior Brother Mo?¡± Zhou Shengqing suddenly asked.


    Mo Douguang: ¡°Master said too much before his Passing Away in Meditation. I¡¯m not sure which words you are referring to, Elder Brother.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing: ¡°The words that hurt us the most.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Douguang¡¯s expression cleared, but then he frowned slightly, as if he did not wish to recall those words.


    Zhou Shengqing: ¡°Master said that among us, only Junior Brother had the potential for Nascent Soul Formation. If we were to forcefully attempt it, we would just waste resources. It would be better to provide our own spiritual power source to him to assist in his cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit. In doing so, even if he passed away, the Five Elements Sect would soon have a new Nascent Soul Cultivator to hold the fort, without being overrun and consumed by the surrounding major factions.¡±


    At that time, Zhou Shengqing and the others, without having tried, would not feel that they had no chance of forming a Nascent Soul, and naturally rejected this arrangement in their hearts.


    Mo Douguang: ¡°Why do you bring up these words now, Elder Brother?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing: ¡°It¡¯s just that after failing now, I understand Master a bit more¡­¡±


    After a sigh, Zhou Shengqing lifted his head to look at the six Golden Core Cultivators who were still bombarding the light shield of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods with various colored Spiritual Power. The dullness in his eyes suddenly brightened with a sharp gleam.


    ¡°Before I die, I¡¯ll sweep some of the Universe clean for the Sect.¡±


    After speaking these words, Zhou Shengqing turned to Chen Mobai and beckoned. The latter promptly walked over with respect.


    ¡°I remember Junior Brother Chen, you have a Soul Summoning Lamp, could you give it to me?¡±


    ¡°Elder Brother, please!¡±


    Chen Mobai nearly forgot he had this Ghost Dao magical instrument without Zhou Shengqing mentioning it.


    ¡°Elder Brother, are you planning to turn into a Ghost Cultivator?¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was beside them, asked with some concern upon seeing this. Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators were those who gave up their chance for reincarnation and forcibly remained in the world seeking to continue their cultivation.


    Within the Tianhe Realm, Cultivators believed in reincarnation.


    Thus, many Cultivators thought that after death, they might be reborn and return with better Spiritual Roots and aptitudes in the next life. Despite the sorrow, this also offered a form of solace, especially to those of the lower strata.


    The few who could not bear to die and turned into Ghost Cultivators or Corpse Cultivators to forcibly linger were extremely rare.


    However, if Zhou Shengqing truly decided to take this step, Fu Zongjue would not stop him.


    ¡°Not really, I need this magical instrument to protect my Heart and Mind when I use the Longevity Technique in reverse.¡±


    The Longevity Technique in reverse!


    What Technique was that?


    Not only Chen Mobai but also Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang did not know this; all three looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing it.


    ¡°This is what Master passed on to me before he died, which he said was left by True Lord Yuan. I never thought I would use it in my lifetime¡­¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing spoke, he grabbed the Soul Summoning Lamp. He then flew up, taking one last look at Giant Tree Ridge.


    Following that, his Dantian Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion erupted with two streams of light, one green and one cyan. They converged and merged in the Soul Summoning Lamp in his palm, turning into a dark green Spiritual Light that heavily surged into the trunk of the Everlife Wood below.


    After all the Spiritual Power and Divine Sense were drained out of his physical body, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s body, suspended in mid-air, aged instantaneously to a state beyond recognition and plummeted toward the ground.


    Mo Douguang immediately flew up to catch him.


    At that moment, the Soul Summoning Lamp had already fallen onto the Everlife Wood branch where Zhou Shengqing was attempting ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±

    The dark green Spiritual Light seeped into the branch like water, and as it spread and diluted across the entire Everlife Wood, it hardly caused any change to the bark or the leaves.


    But Chen Mobai and the others knew that Zhou Shengqing¡¯s entire spirit had merged into it!


    Rumble!


    In the sky, Xuan Shu and the other six Golden Core Cultivators were still maneuvering their Magic Artifacts and attacking the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    They blocked all six cardinal positions, preventing anyone in the Divine Wood Sect from escaping. As long as they were willing to spend the time, the day would come when the Large Formation would be breached.

 Chapter 966 - Chapter 966 Chapter 530 Reverse Longevity Technique_2

    Chapter 966: Chapter 530 Reverse Longevity Technique_2 Chapter 966: Chapter 530 Reverse Longevity Technique_2 The speed might have been even faster than they had imagined, for within the Divine Wood Sect, many disciples were already in a state of panic.


    Even though Chu Zuoshu personally led the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to suppress them, there were still three Foundation Establishment Practitioners who rushed ahead into the location of the Teleportation Array and escaped.


    There were quite a few Qi Practitioners who wanted to escape as well, but apart from a few exceptions, the rest were stopped in time by the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Penalty Evil Hall who had hurriedly arrived.


    Under the suppression of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, the entire Divine Wood Sect could at least maintain the full operation of the Large Formation.


    But there were already many disciples who were thinking about how to make a run for it in their hearts.


    And it was at this moment that a stripe of clear light rose from the Everlife Wood at the very center of Giant Tree Ridge, and in an instant, it transformed into an enormous phantom with its head against the blue sky and its body merged with the Divine Wood.


    The visage of the phantom was as lifelike as real, and it was Zhou Shengqing!


    His eyes were like stars, his beard and hair like lightning, and when he opened his mouth to breathe out, it was a piece of the blue sky falling, heavily crashing down on the tops of the heads of the three Ghost Cultivators grouped together.


    Bang bang bang!


    Like watermelons exploding, the three Ghost Cultivators, along with their magic artifacts and bodies, disintegrated into a rain of blood in an instant.


    Only a solitary pale Bone Pearl cracked open a few gaps, radiating a pale jade light, forcefully charged out among the falling blue sky.


    But Zhou Shengqing¡¯s phantom incarnation simply pointed his right index finger at the Bone Pearl, and a deep green stream of air burst forth like lightning, traversing the vast Void in the blink of an eye and landing upon the Bone Pearl.


    With a bang!


    The Bone Pearl, along with the Underworld Officer Spiritual Perception within it, screamed in agony as it turned into a puff of white ash, completely disintegrating.


    ¡°Not good¡­¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xuan Shu and others, though not understanding what was happening, did not hesitate and immediately fled in different directions.


    But Zhou Shengqing continued to write in the Void with his finger as the pen, Spiritual Energy as the ink, and the sky as the paper, completing a Wind Character Talisman in one breath!


    In that instant, all the air above Giant Tree Ridge transformed under this talisman into countless azure Wind Blades, densely packed and numbering in the tens of thousands.


    With a flick of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s fingertip, the Wind Blades formed three surges of gigantic waves of light, overwhelming Xuan Shu and the other two who had already used the Blood Transference Technique to escape far away.


    The sound ¡°pu¡± echoed.


    The nameless, skinny, Loose Cultivator had over a dozen talismans and a Defensive Magic Weapon sliced through by the Wind Blades. In despair, he swallowed one elixir after another, dumping everything out of his Storage Bag, desperately trying to survive.


    However, after blocking only one hundred and thirty-seven Wind Blades, he was sliced into countless threads of blood that stained a patch of the sky red.


    ¡°You go quick¡­¡±


    On the other side, Zhao Xuankang, knowing he couldn¡¯t escape today¡¯s fate, suddenly gave up on life and death. After swallowing a pitch-black elixir, his Spiritual Power surged, and withstanding the raging Wind Blades, he dashed towards where Xuan Shu was to use his life to help the latter escape to freedom.


    But Zhou Shengqing, who had performed the Longevity Technique, could temporarily borrow the power of the Fourth Order Longevity Wood, breaking through the bottleneck, and advancing to the highest realm of the Longevity Scripture.


    The twenty levels of the Longevity Scripture were equivalent to the Mid Nascent Soul stage.


    Zhou Shengqing even glimpsed the domain of the conjectured twenty-first level, a pity that he didn¡¯t have much time left, or else he could definitely have completed it.


    A simple Clear Wind Talisman in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s hand, however, displayed unstoppable might!


    Zhao Xuankang, even after exerting all his strength and using all his magical instruments and talismans, couldn¡¯t reach Xuan Shu¡¯s side.


    After all defenses were broken by the Wind Blades, Zhao Xuankang¡¯s face was filled with sorrow as he watched the azure blade of light falling before his eyes and closed his eyes to await death.


    On the other side, Xuan Shu revealed his true capabilities.


    After spitting out a Rank-4 Gold Jade Treasure Bead, he surprisingly took out a deep blue talisman and at the moment of activation, an ocean descended from the Void, appearing above Giant Tree Ridge.


    The blue ocean clashed with the azure Wind Blades, unleashing a terrible and vast surge of Spiritual Energy.


    Seizing this moment, Xuan Shu produced a silver talisman and slapped it onto his body.


    ¡°Escape Sky Talisman!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing frowned slightly when he saw this, once again writing in the Void, etching another talisman.


    ¡°`


    Green thunderbolts lit up one after another around Xuan Shu, constantly bombarding his Gold Jade Treasure Pearl, and after three or four rounds of strikes, they finally managed to forcefully break through the golden tempest.


    But at this time, silver radiance had already enveloped Xuan Shu¡¯s entire body, and the power of the Rank-4 Escape Sky Talisman was something that even Zhou Shengqing could not break in the blink of an eye.


    A strand of dark green lightning, at the very moment of Xuan Shu¡¯s disappearance, drilled into the silver glow, piercing a bloody hole through his shoulder.


    But in the end, he was still unable to retain this great enemy of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing himself had only recently ascended to such a realm for the first time and found the control of this immense power quite difficult to master. He also felt his divine consciousness fading, a sign that he was close to being fully assimilated by the Everlife Wood.


    The effect of the Reverse Longevity Technique was about to take hold!


    He sighed and turned his head to look at Zhao Xuankang, who had one last breath left.


    To counter Xuan Shu¡¯s Rank-4 blue talisman, he had gathered all the power of the Clear Wind Talisman a moment ago, hence preserving Zhao Xuankang¡¯s complete form.


    ¡°You¡­ formed your Nascent Soul¡­¡±


    Zhao Xuankang, covered in blood, was drawn to Zhou Shengqing. He looked up at the huge phantom in midair, his eyes wide with disbelief.


    ¡°I have a few questions to ask you.¡±


    As he spoke, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s giant phantom suddenly shrank, returning to the size of an ordinary person, though only his upper body was normal, as his lower body was like a wisp of blue smoke connected to the Soul Summoning Lamp.


    But at this moment, the Ghost Dao magical instrument was cracked open with a deep fissure that nearly split it, and with time passing, small cracks kept appearing.


    Everyone knew that when this Soul Summoning Lamp completely shattered, it would be when Zhou Shengqing perished.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a wave of sorrow.


    Meanwhile, Zhou Shengqing had already finished speaking with Zhao Xuankang, and it was unclear what the two had discussed. He then called over Mo Douguang, likely concerning matters related to Ancestor Hunyuan or the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°We have been openly and secretly fighting for so many years. In the end, you die at my hands. Do you have any last words?¡±


    After asking the question, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s phantom smiled and asked Zhao Xuankang.


    The latter, at this moment turned his head to look at Chen Mobai, and then said something that made the latter¡¯s complexion change drastically.


    ¡°Your young disciple has disappeared, right? Do you want to know who kidnapped her?¡±


    ¡°It was you!¡±


    Fury filled Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes. In the Eastern Wilderness, he always acted low-key, either cultivating at the sect or farming, with only the remnants from Mountain Shaker Peak and the Nanxuan Sect having the motive to do such a thing.


    ¡°Heh, it wasn¡¯t me. But that is someone even we from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace do not wish to provoke. If you really want to know, when you have time, you could take a trip to Yunmeng Marsh and find a demon cultivator named Tu Daohua¡­¡±


    After uttering these words, Zhao Xuankang raised his finger, a flash of gold shimmered, and he had already slit his own throat.


    ¡°Damn it, not even completing the sentence, Yunmeng Marsh is so vast¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai rushed over and grabbed Zhao Xuankang, but the latter had already died with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Junior Brother, at least now we have a clue, which is better than having no direction before.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, on the side, spoke up to console him, as he had also been helping in the search for Luo Yixuan¡¯s whereabouts.


    ¡°Both of you junior brothers, come here. I have some final words to say to you.¡±


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing called out to them. Chen Mobai immediately put down Zhao Xuankang¡¯s body and walked over with Fu Zongjue to the front of the Soul Summoning Lamp.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This is my Infant Formation Experience, remember this¡­¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, the dying cultivators would pass on such knowledge, although many might not have the time and could only take it with them to Hades.


    Fortunately, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s estimation of time was still decent, and before the Soul Summoning Lamp completely shattered, he managed to convey most of it.


    ¡°And the Reverse Longevity Technique¡­¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 967 - Chapter 967 Chapter 531 Legal Body Nascent Soul Return to the

    Chapter 967: Chapter 531: Legal Body Nascent Soul, Return to the Sun Spirit Water (Monthly ticket additional 2046/20000) Chapter 967: Chapter 531: Legal Body Nascent Soul, Return to the Sun Spirit Water (Monthly ticket additional 2046/20000) Zhou Shengqing had long considered the possibility of failing his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Thus, he had already written down the Reverse Longevity Technique on paper, and both Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue had each taken a copy.


    ¡°This technique requires the cultivation of the Longevity Scripture to the eighteenth layer before it can be executed. Once it¡¯s activated, the complete consumption of one¡¯s spiritual power will result in certain death. Furthermore, during the operation of the technique, the vast spiritual consciousness of the Everlife Wood will continuously assimilate your divine sense. If you can¡¯t hold on, it will reverse and turn you into nourishment for the tree.¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing spoke, the Soul Summoning Lamp cracked open once again.


    ¡°Brother¡­¡±


    Seeing this, Mo Douguang started to say something but then hesitated.


    ¡°The sect will be entrusted to you in the future. After I am gone, cremate my body and, if there¡¯s a chance, bury me next to our master¡¯s grave.¡±


    Before his death, Zhou Shengqing had completely let go. What emerged in his mind were scenes from his youth, of chopping logs in the mountains and encountering Ancestor Hunyuan falling from the sky.


    ¡°Yes, Brother.¡±


    After hearing this, Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai solemnly paid their respects to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s apparition.


    ¡°This is my storage bag, the spirit stones and miscellaneous items inside are all left for the sect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing waved his hand, and a cyan storage bag already opened. He took out a set of wooden armor and three Taoist talisman papers.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you have many magical tools, so I will leave this set of Divine Wood Armor for Junior Brother Fu.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing this, and Fu Zongjue immediately took the Lifespan Artifact that had belonged to Zhou Shengqing with great care.


    ¡°The talisman papers are Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talismans; each of you take one.¡±


    Chen Mobai, Fu Zongjue, and Mo Douguang all nodded and each received one.


    Afterwards, Zhou Shengqing took out a golden talisman brush, his face showing a hint of reluctance, and he tossed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this is a Third Rank Superior Grade Sun Chasing Talisman Brush, a gift from the master and our Fourth Sister on my two-hundredth birthday. Only you within the sect are proficient in the way of talismans, so I am giving this to you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Brother, for this treasure!¡±


    When Chen Mobai received the talisman brush, he felt an unprecedented weight.


    ¡°Junior Brother Mo, thank you for guarding me and the Divine Wood Sect all these years. Take this storage bag.¡±


    Mo Douguang did not say much, silently taking the small storage bag Zhou Shengqing passed to him.


    ¡°And these, I do not know what treasures they may yield.¡±


    After distributing all his valuables, Zhou Shengqing smiled and took out four more storage bags, which belonged to the Golden Core Cultivators he had slain.


    All but Zhao Xuankang, who with his old cunning had destroyed his own bag, were there.


    Zhou Shengqing first opened the storage bag that belonged to a loose cultivator. Aside from twenty or so top-grade spirit stones, a few water attribute Cultivation Technique manuals was a bottle sealed with a strong barrier.


    But with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s current realm, he easily broke the seal.


    Inside were three blood-red spirit pills radiating a faint fragrance. Chen Mobai was completely unfamiliar with the pills of the Tianhe Realm, but Zhou Shengqing seemed to recognize them.


    ¡°These should be Blood Spirit Pills; they are useful for Golden Core Cultivators looking to break through their bottlenecks. However, whether they are or not, you should have Zeng Woyou or perhaps consult Yan Shaoyin to identify them later.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was mainly proficient in talisman paper and his knowledge of elixirs was limited to what he had heard.


    If they were indeed Blood Spirit Pills, then the gains from this first storage bag were quite reasonable.


    Zhou Shengqing smiled as he opened the remaining three storage bags of the Ghost Cultivators, a potted plant as black as ink, thick as an arm and shaped like a coiling dragon immediately drew all of their attention.


    This potted plant had no leaves, and its branches were like ink jade, shimmering with a dark green luster under the spiritual light, deep and soul captivating.


    ¡°A Rank-4 Soul Nourishing Wood!¡±


    After Fu Zongjue appraised it, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, but then his face was filled with regret.


    ¡°If only it were Rank-5!¡±


    A Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could allow a Golden Core Cultivator who failed at Nascent Soul Formation to give up their physical body and transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, which would perfectly suit Zhou Shengqing¡¯s current situation.


    ¡°Even if it were Rank-5, without the Method for Legal Body Nascent Soul and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, what use would it be?¡±


    When Zhou Shengqing first saw the Soul Nourishing Wood, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised, but he quickly realized the situation and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    To transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, besides the Soul Nourishing Wood, one would also need a Spiritual Liquid called ¡°Return to the Sun Spirit Water¡± to protect the Divine Sense.


    The Divine Wood Sect had none of these three requirements.


    ¡°Brother, take a look at this alchemy recipe!¡±


    At that moment, Fu Zongjue, who had scanned all the items from the storage bags of the three ghost cultivators with his Divine Sense, instantly discovered something valuable.


    It happened to be the alchemy recipe for Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    Just by looking at the elegant appearance of the storage bag, it likely belonged to the ghost cultivator who had taken possession of Madame Guo¡¯s corpse. It was unclear why she had such a recipe in her collection.


    ¡°It is a Fourth Grade Superior alchemy recipe. Even Yan Shaoyin might not be confident about refining it. Many of the medicinal ingredients listed are remarkably precious, and many can only be found in the Underworld¡­¡±


    After looking at the recipe, everyone shook their heads and sighed once more.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, how long could your soul last if it were sheltered within this Soul Nourishing Wood?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    He himself possessed a piece of Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood and was deeply knowledgeable about such rare treasures of heaven and earth. He knew that in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s current condition, with his essence completely drained by the Everlife Wood, it was possible to transfer his soul and Divine Sense into the Soul Nourishing Wood to cling onto life.


    ¡°This Soul Nourishing Wood belonged to that Dark Lord, who himself was on the verge of becoming a Ghost King; likely, it was prepared for his own ascension. The grade is almost Rank-5, so if I transfer my soul into it, I should be able to sustain for about a hundred years or so.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing estimated his own situation and made a judgment.


    But once he entered the Soul Nourishing Wood, he could only transform into a ghost cultivator, or a Legal Body Nascent Soul, and would no longer be able to undergo reincarnation.


    If he became a ghost cultivator, there would be no talk of an afterlife.


    As for the Legal Body Nascent Soul, at the end of his life span, he would need to use a Pure Yang Magical Tool to liberate himself and dissolve into reincarnation.


    Coincidentally, what Chen Mobai lacked the least was the Pure Yang Magical Tool.


    ¡°If you trust me, brother, I guarantee that within a hundred years, I can find you the Method for Legal Body Nascent Soul and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.¡±


    When Chen Mobai said this, his tone was firm and confident.


    But this meant Zhou Shengqing had to make a choice.

    What the next life held, nobody could say for sure.


    According to the situation in the Tianhe Realm, there was a ninety-nine percent chance of being a mortal without a Spiritual Root.


    Having glimpsed the Realm of Core Formation, how could Zhou Shengqing be willing to give up everything in this life to gamble on such a minuscule future possibility?


    ¡°Hahaha, if there¡¯s a chance to ascend further in this life, what is a hundred years of solitude?¡±


    Seeing the opportunity for a Legal Body Nascent Soul, Zhou Shengqing thought it over and no longer hesitated. He immediately extracted his soul and Heart and Mind from the Soul Lantern, transforming into a wisp of blue smoke that settled into the Soul Nourishing Wood.

 Chapter 968 - Chapter 968 Chapter 532 Huangquan Soil

    Chapter 968: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil Chapter 968: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil After Zhou Shengqing took up residence within the Soul Nourishing Wood, the potted plant lit up with a layer of lustrous sheen, as if it had been consecrated.


    ¡°The soil in this pot must be from the Yellow Springs, but to ensure that the Soul Nourishing Wood can level up, I think it¡¯s still better to find a place with heavy Yin energy to nurture it,¡± Zhou Shengqing said.


    Upon hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, Chen Mobai reached out and pinched a bit of the dark yellow soil from the pot, and a cold Yin energy instantly shot through his fingertips, racing toward his whole body.


    However, what Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll feared the least were these things.


    When the Yin energy encountered the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, it melted away like ice and snow, turning into a wisp of black smoke that seeped out from his fingertips.


    ¡°Lonely Spirit Ridge isn¡¯t bad.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing took the initiative to speak up. Although there were many places under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s seven countries in the Eastern Wilderness with heavy Yin energy, the most suitable one was, without a doubt, this Void Mysterious Stone Mine that was discovered more than a decade ago.


    It was chosen by the Flying Void Daoist as a burial ground, located in a secluded area of the Rain Country. Zhou Shengqing had personally explored it and found that the deeper one went, the heavier the Yin energy became.


    Later, in order to excavate the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, the Divine Wood Sect set up a Formation there to isolate the Yin energy, otherwise those commoners and Qi Cultivating Disciples simply couldn¡¯t withstand it.


    ¡°This Yellow Springs soil is Rank-5 and can sustain this Soul Nourishing Wood for a decade or two. Lonely Spirit Ridge can be an option for transplanting it when the time comes, but it¡¯s still best to find the Yellow Springs Path. That¡¯s the most suitable place,¡± said Fu Zongjue, speaking once again.


    Zhou Shengqing had just entered the Soul Nourishing Wood, and he certainly needed them to look after him for a while.


    ¡°After Master sealed the Yellow Springs Path back in the day, the Spirit Talisman he left behind should have fallen into the hands of Zhou Ye,¡± Mo Douguang suddenly said at this point.


    Zhou Shengqing had a chance to survive and even to rise higher, and Mo Douguang was very pleased about this. Now he was also thinking about how he could help Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Five Elements Sect, huh¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai and the others exchanged glances, knowing that if the Divine Wood Sect wanted to climb higher, they would have to find a way to either move or retrieve it from the biggest Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai said, ¡°My disciple has good skills in cultivating Spirit Plants, could we let her come over and take care of Brother Zhou first?¡±


    The Five Elements Sect is a target for later, but the most important thing right now is to take care of Zhou Shengqing, who has only his soul left.


    Although the Soul Nourishing Wood is mysterious, it is still a Spirit Plant, and it needs to rank up in the future to transform into an Embodiment Nascent Soul. Therefore, it requires the care of an exceptional Spirit Plant Master.


    ¡°That¡¯s your true disciple, Zuoming, right? It seems she will have to suffer for quite a while.¡±


    Although the Divine Skill All Things Spiritual Communication was not publicized, Zuoming¡¯s talent and skills in the field of Spirit Plants were well known among the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, most people believed that Chen Mobai was more formidable in the field of Spirit Plants and that Zuoming¡¯s achievements were due to the guidance of her good master.


    ¡°Then I will bring her over later. Brother Zhou, you don¡¯t need to show up, just let her think that she is caring for a precious Spirit Plant.¡±


    The matter of the Legal Body Nascent Soul was best known by as few people as possible. Chen Mobai did not mistrust Zuoming, but she was still too naive. If she inadvertently revealed anything, it could provoke a greater war.


    A nearly Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood would be coveted vehemently by the three major factions of the Eastern Barbarians if they knew about it.


    After all, an Embodiment Nascent Soul is still a Nascent Soul, capable of overwhelming any Golden Core Cultivator.


    Having explained everything, Chen Mobai left to preside over the Sect¡¯s affairs, and Fu Zongjue accompanied him, as it was a particularly tumultuous time for the Divine Wood Sect, and it was better for them to appear together.


    Mo Douguang, on the other hand, stayed to speak with Zhou Shengqing, who had become an ethereal soul.


    ¡°Brother Zhou deployed a secret technique to kill the invading enemies, but he himself suffered severe damage to his vital energy and needs a long period of seclusion to recuperate¡­¡±


    Inside Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai began to utter the words they had previously agreed upon.


    In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Shengqing had failed his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and was surely doomed.


    But when he had just struck out with the Longevity Technique, killing five Gold Core Cultivators with absolute power, his Nascent Soul Realm status became unmistakable.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s statement was meant to confuse the enemy about whether Zhou Shengqing was alive or dead, and after this battle, it was unlikely that any Golden Core Cultivators would dare venture to Giant Tree Ridge to test this truth.


    True or false, the idea was to instill fear in anyone harboring ulterior motives towards the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, one thing was certain: the corpses of those five Golden Core Cultivators would make the Divine Wood Sect a no-go zone for all high-order Cultivators for some time to come.


    When the Golden Wind Ancestor from the Eastern Barbarian Profound Arrogance Dao Palace heard of this, he would probably be even less willing to make the trip to the Eastern Wilderness.


    Actually, some Cultivators from the Sects, led by Chu Zuoshu, had already guessed the truth behind Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡°death,¡± but at this time, they had to outwardly believe what Chen Mobai said and be convinced that Zhou Shengqing was just severely injured and in seclusion.

    To the outside world, and to the Qi Cultivating Disciples within the Sect, they had to adhere to this narrative.


    The Divine Wood Sect still has three Nascent Soul Ancestors!


    No one present was foolish enough to directly ask Zhou Shengqing whether he had succeeded in his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    ¡°Everything in the Sect goes on as usual. The disciples who retreated during the battle will have their crimes confirmed by the Penalty Evil Hall, and then their cultivation levels will be sealed before they are sent to the mines in the three northern countries. Those who fled through the Teleportation Array are to be issued a wanted order. The Penalty Evil Hall will dispatch men to hunt them down and kill them without mercy.¡±


    The lands of Rock Country, Sky Country, and Rainbow Country, which the Divine Wood Sect had recently conquered, were barren and hardly conducive to the growth of green plants but contained rich mineral deposits. Qi Practitioners were far stronger than ordinary people and would make excellent miners with just a bit of training.

 Chapter 969 - Chapter 969 Chapter 532 Huangquan Soil_2

    Chapter 969: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil_2 Chapter 969: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil_2 Vice Hall Master Quan Shanlin of Penalty Evil Hall, after hearing this, exchanged a look with Fu Zongjue and immediately went out to carry out the task with murderous aura.


    The news that Zhou Shengqing had killed five Golden Core cultivators quickly spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness, drawing astonishment and reverence from all cultivators, with many even believing that Zhou Shengqing had successfully achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    When the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley, and Snow-blowing Palace heard this news, their entire sects were shaken, with several Golden Core cultivators immediately inquiring and even sending people to Giant Tree Ridge to offer condolences and probe the situation.


    It was still those three familiar faces, Chen Mobai met with Xue Ting once and then sent Yue Zutao to deal with the other two.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, can you communicate with this Spirit Plant?¡±


    After dealing with sect affairs, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming over to the Soul Nourishing Wood, and she nodded, walking over to begin the attempt.


    ¡°Wait, this Spirit Plant is a Yin object from the Underworld, take this mirror with you.¡±


    Chen Mobai instantly stopped the rash Zhuo Ming and placed the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in her palm to prevent her from being harmed by the Yin Qi of the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming took the mirror, closed her eyes, and touched one of the branches of the Soul Nourishing Wood, only to release it a moment later with a pale face.


    If not for the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, she likely would have been invaded by the Yin Qi and suffered loss of Qi and blood.


    ¡°The grade is too high, and it¡¯s not planted on the Earth Vein of Xiao Nanshan, so I can¡¯t communicate with it for now.¡±


    Zhuo Ming spoke the truth, and Chen Mobai nodded, the result within his expectations.


    ¡°Within this pot is Rank-5 Huangquan soil, a high-grade Spirit Soil, greatly beneficial for your practice of Mother Earth Cultivation. In the future, when you have time, come here to try to communicate. I will transfer a stream of Spiritual Power into you with the Flame Lighting Technique, to ensure you are unharmed while making contact.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming to help, not only because her Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities could aid in the rank increase of the Soul Nourishing Wood, but also because Rank-5 Spirit Soil is exceedingly rare.


    Even inside the Divine Tree Secret Realm, one could only obtain Rank-4 Everlife Soil.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s practice of Mother Earth Cultivation required integrating the essence of myriads of Spirit Soils, achieving the Mother Qi of All Things to cultivate and nurture various Spirit Plants in the world.


    This pot of Rank-5 Huangquan soil was more precious to her than any Elixir, heavenly and earthly treasures.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had transferred Pure Yang Spiritual Power into Zhuo Ming, he also thoroughly cleansed the residual cold Qi inside her, making her face bloom with a healthy glow that left her feeling spirited and revitalized.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, would you mind if I give some instruction to your disciple?¡±


    After Zhuo Ming left, the apparition of Zhou Shengqing emerged from the Soul Nourishing Wood, asking something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er¡¯s practice differs from Brother Zhou¡¯s technique, but if Brother Zhou is willing to provide guidance, I would be deeply grateful.¡±


    Regardless, Zhou Shengqing was a grand cultivator who had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, and even if his teaching skills were not as strong as Chen Mobai¡¯s, his experience in cultivation was surely far greater. His willingness to instruct Zhuo Ming was certainly favourable.


    ¡°I cannot move while inside the Soul Nourishing Wood, and I will invariably be lonely in the coming days. Having a disciple to teach will serve as a pastime for me.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er is somewhat slow and has many questions. Brother Zhou, please be patient with her in the future.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing waved his hand after hearing this, indicating that even if he had to teach a rather slow student, he could cultivate them into talents like Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu in the coming century.


    What he did not realize was that Chen Mobai was being modest.


    After staying for half a month to ensure that Zhou Shengqing¡¯s soul had adjusted, Mo Douguang also prepared to leave.


    Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue personally escorted him to the Teleportation Array, carrying the pot with the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    At that time, more good news arrived.


    It came from the Town Guard of Rock Country, a E Yun Sect envoy, who confirmed through his own informants that Xuan Shu of the Nanxuan Sect, after fleeing from Giant Tree Ridge, had not returned to Treasure Color Mountain.


    In other words, Nanxuan Sect was now without a Golden Core cultivator to sit in charge.


    ¡°According to our previous discussion, we will gradually nibble away at Nanxuan sect¡¯s share of the Fang Market. As long as achievements are made there, supporting him to become the Sect Leader after I step down will be justified,¡±


    The one who conveyed this message was Yu Lian. Chen Mobai trusted him greatly. After giving him some instructions, Chen Mobai also wrote a letter for him to take to E Yun.


    ¡°When Xuan Shu fled, he was severely injured by a blast of my Longevity True Qi. With his cultivation level, suppressing and expelling it would be quite troublesome, so he must have gone back to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to seek help from Golden Wind Ancestor.¡±


    After hearing about this, Zhou Shengqing expressed his own thoughts.


    After using the Reversed Longevity Technique, his strength was so formidable that even if Golden Wind Ancestor came, he would not be afraid. Although Xuan Shu managed to escape from his grasp, he was still unable to get away unscathed.


    Longevity True Qi is ordinary in Magic Duels; however, it has a long-lasting aftereffect, and at that time, it was at the Rank-4 level. Without heavenly and earthly treasures, the most likely scenario for Xuan Shu, given his cultivation level, was to leave the Eastern Wilderness to heal first.


    ¡°Let him live a little longer then. After I make my breakthrough, I will slay him,¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke calmly. Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue both took it for granted that sword cultivators are invincible among equals in the same realm.


    Not to mention someone like Chen Mobai, an unparalleled genius of the Sword Dao.


    ¡°Apprentice nephew Zeng has appraised them. Those three pills are indeed Blood Spirit Pills. It¡¯s a mystery how such a precious elixir came into the hands of a mere loose cultivator.¡±


    After finishing the discussion about Xuan Shu, Fu Zongjue brought out the elixirs Zhou Shengqing had obtained from killing an enemy.


    The Blood Spirit Pill is used by Golden Core Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm to break through their bottlenecks, quite similar to an upgraded version of the Big Barrier Breaking Pill from the Immortal Gates.


    Although Chen Mobai does not advocate using elixirs to enhance cultivation levels, he believes it is acceptable to assist with elixirs when breaking through barriers.


    It just so happened that Fu Zongjue had been stuck at the peak of the early Golden Core Stage for decades, and the Blood Spirit Pill was perfect for him to take.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, take them all for your use. There¡¯s no need to save any for me,¡±


    Chen Mobai generously gave all three Blood Spirit Pills to Fu Zongjue. Although he possessed the Flame Lighting Technique to neutralize pill toxins, it was better not to take any elixirs from the Tianhe Realm if possible.


    Fu Zongjue did not stand on ceremony. Divine Wood Sect needed him to ascend.


    It was unclear whether it was due to the pressure or the readiness of his realm, but Fu Zongjue only needed to take one Blood Spirit Pill to successfully break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.


    After consolidating his realm, he emerged from seclusion, full of vigor.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I do not need these two Blood Spirit Pills anymore. You can have them.¡±


    The Blood Spirit Pills were useful for breaking through from the early to the mid stage, but almost useless from the mid to the late stage. Therefore, after his breakthrough, Fu Zongjue gave the remaining pills to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai did not refuse and accepted them, planning to have Qing Nu help appraise them later.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I have decided to go to Golden Crow Immortal City.¡±


    One day, Chu Zuoshu came to visit and shared his decision.


    Just like when Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing suggested that he go to Golden Crow Immortal City to keep a low profile and see whether it was possible to create a new channel for the sect there.


    ¡°Hmm, take these with you. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, seek out a loose cultivator Nascent Soul named Huyan Zhenglai. He has a good relationship with me,¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing spoke, he asked Fu Zongjue to give a token to Chu Zuoshu.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Ancestor Hunyuan said to have good relations with the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Sun Bathing Sea? Why go to Golden Crow Immortal City and not pay a visit to him?¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu left, Chen Mobai asked with some surprise.


    ¡°He is a friend of our master, but we are not our master, only his disciples, and merely at the Foundation Establishment stage at that.¡±


    ¡°Besides, the one to inherit our master¡¯s mantle is ultimately Zhou Ye. We are considered to be renegades, and going to visit Baiwu Ancestor without being scolded would already be fortunate,¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai realize something once again.


    Only when one is strong in oneself, is one truly powerful.

 Chapter 970 - Chapter 970 Chapter 533 The Purpose of the Visit (Extra

    Chapter 970: Chapter 533: The Purpose of the Visit (Extra Chapter 2 for Monthly Votes) Chapter 970: Chapter 533: The Purpose of the Visit (Extra Chapter 2 for Monthly Votes) Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Zhou Ye received the invitation brought by Kong Shanxu and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of puzzlement.


    [¡°I have often heard the two senior brothers talk about the prosperity of the Immortal City. As the newly in charge of Divine Wood Sect, I wish to come for a visit¡­¡±]


    The invitation was from Chen Mobai. It said that at the beginning of next year, he planned to visit the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°What does he mean by this?¡±


    Although the Five Elements Sect had signed a non-aggression pact with the Divine Wood Sect, Zhou Ye could still vividly remember the fight to the death between the two sides during their division.


    Now, Chen Mobai, the first genius of the Divine Wood Sect since its establishment and the new Golden Core Sect Leader, actually wanted to visit the Five Elements Sect, which really left Zhou Ye confused.


    ¡°Could it be that Zhou Shengqing has indeed achieved ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ and is preparing to come back to reclaim this Immortal City, having him come over first to probe?¡±


    Green Pearl, who was beside him, frowned with worry upon hearing this.


    ¡°If Second Senior Brother achieves Nascent Soul Formation and takes charge of Hunyuan Immortal City or even the Five Elements Sect, isn¡¯t that only natural?¡±


    Zhou Ye said calmly and then put down the invitation, signaling Kong Shanxu to go down and prepare for this matter.


    Since Chen Mobai wanted to come, they would certainly not refuse.


    Whether it is goodwill or malice, they need to meet him first to find out.


    Moreover, within this Hunyuan Immortal City, even if a Nascent Soul came, Zhou Ye was confident he could retreat with ease.


    ¡°In addition to our Five Elements Sect, it seems that Sect Master Chen from the Divine Wood Sect also plans to visit Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    After Kong Shanxu left, he mentioned another matter.


    After Zhou Shengqing took action and killed five Golden Core Cultivators, he, Ye Bopei, and Xue Ting once again rushed to Giant Tree Ridge. Although they were unable to meet Sect Master Chen, they exchanged thoughts when leaving and found that they all had received the same type of invitation.


    ¡°Is he preparing to rule over The Barren?¡±


    Zhou Ye suddenly thought of this, stood up, and his expression turned solemn.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one with these thoughts; Yan Shaoyin of Back to Sky Valley and Kong Lingling of Snow-blowing Palace felt similarly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sigh¡­¡±


    Yan Shaoyin let out a sigh. After hearing about Zhou Shengqing taking action and killing five Golden Core Cultivators, he felt both encouraged and despondent.


    Encouragement because in the Eastern Wilderness, besides Zhou Shengqing, he was the closest to achieving Nascent Soul Formation.


    If Zhou Shengqing could succeed, then theoretically, it was possible for him as well.


    But after harboring such hope, Yan Shaoyin was reminded of the experience a hundred years ago when, under the pressure of Ancestor Hunyuan, he had no choice but to submit to the Five Elements Sect and make elixirs for them.


    The only thing worth being fortunate about was that the Divine Wood Sect had not held a Nascent Soul Formation ceremony.


    That meant there was a very good chance Zhou Shengqing had failed, or perhaps he had never attempted Nascent Soul Formation and it was merely a strategy to lure out Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and those Ghost Cultivators.


    In any case, the most pressing matter currently was this invitation.


    The new Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect wanted to come for a visit. In theory, the Sect Leader of Back to Sky Valley should receive him, but Sect Master Chen was a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Yan Shaoyin could only instruct Ye Bopei to make preparations, readying himself to personally receive Chen Mobai when the time came.


    ¡°Master, there is one more thing.¡±


    When Ye Bopei was about to leave, he hesitated but eventually handed over a message talisman recently delivered by the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to Yan Shaoyin, who turned slightly pale upon reading it. He sat down on the chair with a long sigh.


    It read that his disciple, He Jintong, had failed in his Golden Core formation. Fortunately, thanks to the elixirs Yan Shaoyin had prepared in advance, his life was spared. Recently, the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would transport a batch of goods to the Eastern Yi Territory. They would also bring He Jintong back, advising them to prepare in advance at Back to Sky Valley.


    Yan Shaoyin had spoiled several batches before he barely managed to concoct four Golden Liquid Jade Pills, of which the Divine Wood Sect took two, and soon after the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation spread.


    Yan Shaoyin¡¯s eldest disciple, He Jintong, had also reached Completion of Foundation Establishment long ago. Inspired by this news, he no longer hesitated and, taking the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, was arranged to go to the place of the Star Heaven Dao Sect for a secret Core Formation.


    Unfortunately, not everyone is Chen Mobai, and the cultivators of Back to Sky Valley mostly advanced through consuming elixirs, their innate foundations unstable. Even the wondrous Golden Liquid Jade Pill was powerless in the face of such cultivators.


    ¡°You make the arrangements, and when the time comes go to the Eastern Yi Territory to bring Jintong back¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this news, Yan Shaoyin seemed to age a decade, sighing as he waved his hand to dismiss Ye Bopei.


    Compared to the thriving Divine Wood Sect, their Back to Sky Valley, even though they monopolized the high-end alchemy industry of the Eastern Wilderness, making a fortune,


    outstanding disciples could even receive two Foundation Building Pills at once.


    Thus they amassed the greatest number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners among the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, but not to mention a top talent like Chen Mobai, they didn¡¯t even have one as outstanding as Hong He.


    He Jintong was already among those with the best foundations in Back to Sky Valley.


    But even he failed to cross the step of Core Formation.


    Just thinking about this made Yan Shaoyin feel weary.


    He truly wanted to leave Back to Sky Valley behind and unreservedly pursue the realm of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    With his skills as a Rank-4 Alchemist, no matter where he went, he would not lack for Spirit Stones.


    However, this was just a thought. Alchemists needed the backing of a power most of all, after all, high-ranked elixirs required many auxiliary materials, and it was too time-consuming to gather them alone.


    ¡­


    Snow-blowing Palace, still that ice palace.


    ¡°Disciple Xue Ting, your hard work is appreciated.¡±


    After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, Kong Lingling spoke indifferently.


    Once Xue Ting had left, Kong Lingling discussed the matter for a while with Zhu Jinyu and Lan Lingping, but in the face of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s impressive feat of slaying five Golden Core Cultivators by herself, they could think of no reason to refuse.


    ¡°I am at a critical moment in my cultivation, so when the time comes, you might still need to take Sect Master Chen around for me.¡±


    Kong Lingling helplessly stated, her Cultivation Technique being special, requiring her physical body to be frozen in ice at a place with abundant Spiritual Energy during her breakthrough, unable to move.


    ¡°Master, rest assured. Since Xue Ting is also considered an unregistered disciple of Sect Master Chen, let her help with receiving him on behalf of our sect when the time comes. We will also show our respect, and I believe Sect Master Chen won¡¯t take offense.¡±


    ¡°For now, that will have to do.¡±


    Kong Lingling spoke, and as she recalled a matter weighing on her mind, she felt an inexplicable irritability rise within her.


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai had no idea that his planned visit had made the Golden Core Cultivators of the three great sects of the Eastern Wilderness nervous.


    Actually, he didn¡¯t have much interest in Back to Sky Valley or Snow-blowing Palace.


    He merely wanted to make a trip to Ming Nation where the Hunyuan Immortal City, under the Five Elements Sect, was located to investigate Guiyuan Sect, where Luo Yixuan had disappeared last.


    But if he only visited the Five Elements Sect, it would be too targeted, likely drawing the attention of the other two Golden Core Cultivators of the Water Vein and Fire Vein.

    Therefore, to cover his true purpose, Chen Mobai included Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace in his plans, presenting it as an official visit after taking charge of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The visit was set for the next year, to give the other three sects and the Divine Wood Sect time to prepare, but also because he needed to return to the Immortal Gate to handle some matters.


    With his oversight, the inner cabinet was already operating very well.


    Yue Zutao proved to be a talent of the world, with Meng Hong at his side to assist, and on the surface with Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, as well as Zhou Shengqing, who was suspected of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, overseeing the sect, the guards of the six nations were striving for excellence. Inside and outside, the Divine Wood Sect was flourishing.


    Chen Mobai, reassured, left the Formless Puppet behind while his real body returned to the Immortal Gate.

 Chapter 971 - Chapter 971 534

    Chapter 971: 534 Chapter 971: 534 ¡°Hey hey hey, bro, are you free?¡±


    After returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai made a call to Ming Yuhua first.


    ¡°I am quite busy, but if a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor like you asks for my help, I¡¯ll definitely make time for you.¡±


    Hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s somewhat teasing words, Chen Mobai also laughed heartily, and then spoke directly about his own matters.


    When he underwent Core Formation, the Snow-blowing Palace had given him a Rank-3 Water Mist Ice Crystal, which could perfectly integrate into his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± upgrading it to a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Ming Yuhua was already a Rank-3 Artifact Refiner even before he graduated, and this ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± was a well-known magic artifact from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and he was most skilled in refining it.


    So, as soon as Chen Mobai mentioned it, Ming Yuhua slapped his chest and guaranteed the upgrade would be completed.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you an address, send the stuff over, and it should be mostly done in about half a month.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai checked Ming Yuhua¡¯s address and found out it was inside a military compound.


    It seemed that right after graduating, his good brother was directly recruited by the Immortal Gate.


    After sending the item, Chen Mobai began to fulfill his duties as a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor.


    In Yu Wood City, as the top official, he always advocated governance through non-interference.


    In other words, with or without him, things would be the same, a practice that received unanimous praise from the local Immortal Gate system.


    He first visited Qing Sang Academy, and on a whim, he audited classes for a day, learning about the most essential aspects of sericulture, cultivating Spirit Wood for mulberry trees, and weaving fabric, thus gaining a more concrete understanding of Qing Sang Academy.


    The next day, he went to the Yu Wood City Immortal Gate Hall, where City Lord Wen Ping, accompanied by the heads of various departments, reported on various matters from the past year.


    After listening, Chen Mobai also gained an understanding of Yu Wood City¡¯s civil economy and more.


    This was a city that developed relying on the Spirit Wood industry, with over thirty percent of its fiscal revenue coming from taxes on the sale of various kinds of Spirit Wood.


    The rest was related to industries like Talisman Paper, furniture, wooden artifacts, printing, potted plants, etc., that altogether formed all aspects of Yu Wood City.


    Chen Mobai, who had always been a hands-off shopkeeper in the Immortal Gate, let Wen Ping handle various political matters as before and then began to tour the city¡¯s Talisman Paper industry.


    Due to the abundance of Spirit Wood resources, there were three famous Talisman Paper factories within Yu Wood City, all with complete systems for producing Rank-1 to Rank-3 Talisman Paper.


    Chen Mobai decided to visit these three factories first.


    After Core Formation, he only needed to study hard, and his level as a Talisman Maker would naturally rise to Rank-3.


    Red Sandstone City¡¯s Flying Talisman Factory, despite nearly two decades of spare-no-expense investment, and with the Yan family¡¯s technical assistance, had managed to replicate Rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman, but the quality was barely passable.


    After visiting the three factories in Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai realized the huge gap between his factory and theirs.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, this is the Rank-4 Spirit Elm Talisman Paper jointly crafted by our three factories. I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re also an excellent Talisman Maker, take a piece as a keepsake.¡±


    A beautifully packaged, palm-sized, light yellow Talisman Paper was handed to Chen Mobai.


    This was the most advanced technical achievement of Talisman Paper in Yu Wood City, requiring the consumption of too much Spirit Wood resources and could only be refined after official orders and permissions from the Immortal Gate.


    The last time Yu Wood City had massively produced Rank-4 Talisman Paper was when the Talisman Masters Association needed to restore an ancient talisman, requiring a lot of Spirit Elm Talisman Paper, which Daoist Yu Yi issued instructions for, allowing the three factories to be permitted to refine it.


    As a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor and the current top official of Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai also had this right.


    However, Rank-4 Talisman Paper was still a bit too high-end for him.


    So, after briefly understanding the production technique of Spirit Elm Talisman Paper, he began discussing the production of high-ranking Talisman Papers with a Puppet factory with the technicians from the three Talisman Paper factories.


    The Puppet factory located on the barren land between Danxia City and Yu Wood City, after nearly twenty years of operation, was mostly aging and on the verge of scrapping.


    After all, due to insufficient Good Deed Points, in order to save money, all the puppets were made using the simplest Red Sun Spiritual Wood.


    Even though Chen Mobai himself was a top-ranked Puppet Master, who constantly maintained and repaired them, after so many years of continuous use, they had reached their limit.


    However, this Puppet factory had allowed Chen Mobai to accumulate his initial capital in both worlds.


    The produced Talisman Paper enabled his Little Nan Mountain Shop to spread across half of the Eastern Wilderness, and on the Immortal Gate side, he accumulated over a hundred million Good Deed Points in his account.


    With these resources and his current status, he could prepare to build a more complete new Puppet factory.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, apart from producing Rank-1 Talisman Paper, Rank-2 and even Rank-3 should also be possible.


    However, on the Immortal Gate side, most Talisman Papers above Rank-2 were still completed by hand by Cultivators, with only a few high-demand types being automated.


    As for Rank-3, only two or three types of Talisman Paper could be mass-produced in the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai discussed with the head technicians of the three Talisman factories, gradually perfecting the blueprints of his own Puppet factory.


    During this period, he also called his teacher Che Yucheng several times to discuss the details of the Puppet upgrades.

 Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 Upgrade Puppet Factory_2

    Chapter 972: Upgrade Puppet Factory_2 Chapter 972: Upgrade Puppet Factory_2 After reaching Core Formation, Chen Mobai¡¯s network of connections was incomparable to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°A Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead!¡±


    Upon receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s call, Fu Borong, the head of the Repairing Heaven Institute, felt somewhat troubled, but thinking that this individual had the Qualification of Deification and could potentially be one of the top figures of the Immortal Gate in the future, he agreed to help Chen Mobai out by using his influence to facilitate matters.


    A Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead could only be custom ordered from the Immortal Gate, and due to its wide-ranging uses, it was backordered for decades.


    Additionally, being on the waiting list was one thing, but whether the Repairing Heaven Institute would accept the order was another matter entirely.


    Chen Mobai had a decent amount of clout, and after Fu Borong spoke on his behalf, the main director of the mathematics department at the Repairing Heaven Institute reluctantly took the order.


    Once the order was accepted, it meant that the manufacturing of the Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead had begun.


    Chen Mobai paid a deposit of ten million Good Deed Points, and after securing this most crucial core component, he began reaching out to people.


    Chai Lun was still tasked with puppet production. This time, to avoid having him cover the costs upfront, Chen Mobai used his influence to allow Chai Lun free choice in selecting various types of Spirit Wood resources from Yu Wood City.


    He had originally planned to use metal, but since the Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead took up nearly half of the total budget, he could only resort to the cheaper option of using wood.


    The main reason was that, as the leader of Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai could acquire Spirit Wood almost at cost, and he could even mix in some Rank-2 Green Yang Spiritual Wood synthesized using the Jia Wood Jue from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, these advantages were so substantial that the expensive Spirit Materials of various metals were naturally weeded out.


    However, his funds were considerably more robust than during the Foundation Establishment stage, and as a councilor of the Kaiyuan Hall, he could borrow the maximum amount from the bank of the Immortal Gate.


    The bank at Yu Wood City stated that they could lend all the funds they had available, which was around eighty million Good Deed Points.


    With ample Good Deed Points, Chen Mobai acted confidently. He started reaching out to the other two members of his Formless Puppet creation team.


    He planned to use bionics materials for the key joints and mechanisms of the puppet, while continuing to use Spirit Wood for the less critical parts. This would significantly extend the puppet¡¯s service life, which, with proper maintenance, could be fifty to sixty years without issues.


    ¡°No problem, just send me the blueprints, and I¡¯ll arrange everything right away.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei thought Chen Mobai was contacting her for some important matter; she had even specially interrupted her tea time for this.


    ¡°I¡¯ve managed to keep alive the Enlightenment White Tea plant you gave me. I¡¯ve started drinking the Rank-2 tea leaves¡­¡±


    Since he had made the call, Chen Mobai also took the opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Wen Ren Xuewei, who, after all, had mastered the Longevity Technique and was destined to reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± without any accidents.


    ¡°How is it, good flavor, right¡­¡±


    When the topic of tea leaves came up, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s casual tone suddenly became interested as she started to ask Chen Mobai carefully about his various experiences and observations while growing the Spirit Plant tea tree.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai had been very attentive to the survival of the Enlightenment White Tea plant from the beginning, frequently consulting with Zhuo Ming. Although he wasn¡¯t as intimately aware as Zhuo Ming, who had personally cultivated it, he had still directly inquired about the full process from when the tea tree was planted and took root to when it advanced to Rank-2, so he had no problems discussing it with Wen Ren Xuewei.


    In fact, because he mentioned some of the real experiences with the tea tree he got from Zhong Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Rhinoceros, he even managed to impress Wen Ren Xuewei.


    These were details she hadn¡¯t noticed when she was cultivating and transplanting, not realizing that watering the tea seeds with Spiritual Water at that particular time would make them joyous¡­


    ¡°If you were to dedicate yourself entirely to Spirit Plant cultivation, your achievements would not be inferior to those of your Sword Dao.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei said with a touch of admiration, under the impression that it was Chen Mobai who had personally nurtured the tea plant¡¯s survival and advancement.


    Although she had long known that he was extraordinary and that there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do if he set his mind to it, it was the first time Wen Ren Xuewei felt a sense of admiration for someone who had surpassed her in her area of greatest confidence, the cultivation of Spirit Plant tea trees.


    Previously, she was less accomplished than Chen Mobai because she couldn¡¯t defeat him.


    But this time, it was in the field where she had the most confidence.


    ¡°Not at all, it survived by chance¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai dared not carry on the conversation further.


    Zhuo Ming had only cultivated the tea tree to Rank-2, and continuing the talk would lead to nothing more to say. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he said that he still had matters to discuss regarding the custom ordering of machines and hung up.


    For the assembly line production of talisman paper and ink, Chen Mobai naturally turned to the Tiangong Instrument Factory. Like Wen Ren Xuewei, Zhou Tiangong only charged him the cost price, personally helping him with the design and calibration of the machines. He even considered the integration with the puppets, the incorporation of the Heavenly Calculation Bead, and the planning and upgrading of the factory layout.


    Once the core chip, raw material supply, machine equipment, and puppet production were all arranged, Chen Mobai finally had time to meet with his good friend.


    ¡°Your cultivation level has progressed quite rapidly; you¡¯ve already reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan walked beneath the shade of trees, breathing in the fresh air of the forest, chatting and laughing together.


    ¡°Compared to you, I seem a bit clumsy.¡±


    Facing Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan revealed a rare gentle smile.


    Because Chen Mobai needed to apply to the Kaiyuan Hall every time he wanted to leave Yu Wood City, Yan Bingxuan could only visit him once a year. She studied Ice Soul Divine Light at the Repairing Heaven Institute and, when her progress stalled, she would come here to relax and unwind.


    Chen Mobai truly enjoyed the time spent in conversation with her. Since his Core Formation, among his high school classmates, only she maintained regular contact with him.


    The rest, perhaps due to their elevated statuses, had all consciously refrained from initiating contact with him.


    Yan Bingxuan stayed in Yu Wood City for three days, during which Chen Mobai treated her to rice flower fish brought from Xiao Nanshan, marking the most carefree period since his Core Formation.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving now, see you next year.¡±


    Hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai reluctantly saw her off on the airplane.


    His time with Yan Bingxuan gave him an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease.


    When he was with her, his mind would be completely at ease, without any need to worry or be anxious about anything.


    However, such days also had the potential to erode his own fighting spirit. At his core, Chen Mobai was a person who constantly sought to improve himself.


    After seeing Yan Bingxuan off, just as he was about to call Qing Nu and invite her to visit Yu Wood City, he received a phone call that made him frown.


    [Lan Haitian]!


    Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Chen Mobai was tempted to hang up directly.


    But recalling the things he had said at Wangwu Cave Heaven and considering that Qing Nu was still a member of his Sky-Mending Group, he hesitated for a while and then picked up the call.


    Lan Haitian: ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t answer.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What is it?¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The good news.¡±


    Hearing the good news first would at least provide a moment of good mood.


    Lan Haitian: ¡°I will be arriving in Yu Wood City soon. You should be very welcoming to me, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s good news.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°This time I¡¯m leading a team on a mission, and among the team members is your ¡®friend¡¯. You will soon be able to see her. Isn¡¯t that good news?¡±


    Qing Nu!


    ¡°What do you mean by this?¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly narrowed, and his tone grew cold as he grasped the implication.


    Lan Haitian: ¡°It¡¯s just that there has been decisive progress recently with the old case from years ago, and one of the key figures is linked to her. So we are bringing her along as well. Don¡¯t misunderstand, it¡¯s not that we specifically assigned her to a mission because of you.¡±


    After hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed even more deeply.


    That old case from years ago involved two Golden Core Masters from Red Sandstone City.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What progress?¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°I can¡¯t discuss it over the phone, and I can only tell you if you agree to get involved.¡±


    Without saying anything further, Chen Mobai guessed what the bad news was and decided to simply hang up the phone.


    At this moment, he was only relieved that he had sent Yan Bingxuan away earlier.


    Chen Mobai pondered in his own courtyard.


    The old case from years ago was related to Qing Nu, something Lan Haitian had mentioned to him at Wangwu Cave Heaven.

    The worst-case scenario was that the Immortal Gate had identified Yu Tianguang, the True Person in crimson robes, as a suspect. The Sky-Mending Group¡¯s collective deployment this time might well be planning to make an arrest.


    So, how should he avoid getting involved in this matter?


    While Chen Mobai was contemplating, his phone suddenly received an email.


    ¡°Dear Councilor Chen Mobai, the Sky-Mending Group of the Immortal Gate has a mission to execute in your jurisdiction in the coming days. We kindly ask for your assistance when it is convenient.¡±


    The sender of the email was the Kaiyuan Hall Committee.

 Chapter 973 - Chapter 973 Chapter 535 Seeing Qing Nu Again

    Chapter 973: Chapter 535: Seeing Qing Nu Again Chapter 973: Chapter 535: Seeing Qing Nu Again The Kaiyuan Hall Committee is the highest governing body of the Immortal Gate.


    Every Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Immortal Gate is a member of the committee, but since these big shots don¡¯t really manage affairs, the Vice Hall Master Ye Yune of the Kaiyuan Hall is currently presiding over the committee.


    When Chen Mobai saw this email, he knew that he couldn¡¯t escape from this matter.


    Wang Shuye from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is also one of the rotating members of the committee.


    The sending of this email means that the Dance Tool Dao Academy must already be aware of the matter.


    In such a situation, Red Robe True Person Yu Tianguang must have been abandoned by the Daoist Academy.


    As the Golden Core Master closest to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai has an obligation to assist the Sky-Mending Group in completing their task.


    What a hassle.


    Chen Mobai frowned and called Che Yucheng, but the latter only told him to follow the laws of the Immortal Gate, to do as he should, and not to act rashly, then hung up in a hurry.


    In the evening, a knock at the door echoed at Chen Mobai¡¯s entrance. When the door opened, a person he didn¡¯t want to see walked in.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, you should have received the message from above, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Hmm, is it just you?¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai glanced around the void; out of respect for privacy, he hesitated to freely use the Void Spirit Eye on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Lin Yin is arranging what comes next, and with us two Golden Core Masters meeting, her presence wouldn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°There¡¯s another piece of bad news you haven¡¯t mentioned.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°An important witness has confessed, identifying Red Robe True Person Yu Tianguang as one of the high-ranking members of the Ascension Sect.¡±


    Just as expected!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed even tighter.


    To be fair, Yu Tianguang had treated him very well. If it weren¡¯t for Yu Tianguang¡¯s statement back then, he might not have been able to enter the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Moreover, Yu Tianguang had later used the Flame Lighting Technique to help him transform his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll. These were all acts of kindness.


    And now, because of the command of the Immortal Gate, if he was to confront Yu Tianguang with weapons drawn, he truly felt uncomfortable in his heart.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What should I do?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Join me in delivering the arrest warrant into Yu Tianguang¡¯s hands.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Is that all?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°If Yu Tianguang dares to resist, when necessary, you and I will need to join forces to suppress him.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°I¡¯m just a Gold Core first layer Cultivator; I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll hold you back.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°You¡¯re being too modest. With the Purple Electric Sword in hand, there are probably very few Golden Core Masters in the entire Immortal Gate who would dare to confront you.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°The grade of the Purple Electric Sword is too high; I can¡¯t fully control it yet¡­¡±


    Although unable to defy the orders of the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect, it was indeed true that Chen Mobai had just achieved Core Formation and, facing an old Golden Core Master like Yu Tianguang, it would not be unusual for him not to be a match.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Then you can just assist me from the side.¡±


    As Lan Haitian said this, confidence was written all over his face. Since the Immortal Gate had dispatched him, they clearly had absolute confidence in him.


    Chen Mobai nodded, without saying anything further.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°I¡¯ll notify you when it¡¯s time to act.¡±


    After saying this, Lan Haitian turned to leave.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What about Qing Nu?¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°She¡¯s meeting with the witness. If you want to see her, I can give her a day off tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flashed with a glimmer of spiritual light upon hearing this, feeling as if he was vaguely grasping something.


    Although Qing Nu was involved in many hidden secrets, with direct ties to the Ascension Sect, the number of people she was willing to meet is very few.


    Kong Feichen and Yang Jing would not appear on Di Yuan Star, so after carefully recalling what he knew about Qing Nu¡¯s life, Chen Mobai quickly thought of a certain Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°That witness is Gu Changfeng!¡±


    Lan Haitian, upon hearing this, just slightly smiled and did not directly answer. He turned and left.


    At that time, Gu Changfeng¡¯s case was personally handled by Lan Haitian himself in Red Sandstone City.


    It was also coincidentally the time of Chen Mobai¡¯s entrance examination, and by a twist of fate, he also became involved in the case.


    Since Gu Changfeng was the first Foundation Establishment Practitioner he had seen being arrested by the Immortal Sect, and the case was related to Qing Nu, Chen Mobai had a deep impression of it.


    After Lan Haitian left, Chen Mobai picked up his phone. After some hesitation, he still worried about Qing Nu and called her.


    It didn¡¯t connect at first, but two minutes later Qing Nu called back.


    Qing Nu, ¡°Sorry, the place just now was a bit special, and I couldn¡¯t answer the phone, but I¡¯m out now.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Hmm, Lan Haitian said you came with him. I¡¯m in Yu Wood City. If you encounter anything that endangers your life, you must tell me in time.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have many friends, and he was willing to go out of his way to help Qing Nu.

    Qing Nu, ¡°Thanks!¡±


    As she said this, Qing Nu¡¯s tone became somewhat choked up. After talking for a bit more, they agreed to meet the next day.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai had no interest in meditating, so he simply took out a top-grade spirit stone to pass the time for the night by cultivating his Pure Yang Body.


    Before dawn broke, Chen Mobai left his courtyard and headed for the place he had agreed to meet with her.


    This was a base of the Department of Law Enforcement, of which the Sky-Mending Group requisitioned two floors.

 Chapter 974 - Chapter 974 Chapter 535 Seeing Qing Nu Again_2

    Chapter 974: Chapter 535: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 Chapter 974: Chapter 535: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 Qing Nu was originally not allowed to leave on her own, but due to Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, Lan Haitian granted her a day off.


    ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    When Qing Nu stepped out, she saw Chen Mobai at the door and greeted him with the brightest of smiles.


    ¡°It hasn¡¯t been that long.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, he looked up to the top floor where Lan Haitian was smiling and waving at him from the window.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Qing Nu took the initiative to take Chen Mobai¡¯s hand. He was somewhat surprised but didn¡¯t refuse, allowing her to lead him away from there.


    In Lan Haitian¡¯s office, a woman with short hair dressed in a white shirt and a green blazer sat on the side. She could also see Chen Mobai below, but Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t see her.


    ¡°Is that him?¡±


    The short-haired woman¡¯s pupils were a light hazel. She appeared quite intrigued as she observed Chen Mobai¡¯s figure from behind.


    ¡°Yes, it seems Deputy Minister Gongsun is very interested in him.¡±


    Upon hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words, the woman retracted her gaze, fiddling with a toothpick in her hand, her eyes deep with thought.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai, accompanied by Qing Nu, walked onto a shaded path. He had been there with Yan Bingxuan before; it was very picturesque and led to Yu Wood City¡¯s most famous Rank-4 elm at the Guda Courtyard.


    ¡°To ensure the success of this mission, besides the Sky-Mending Group, even the Department of Law Enforcement has sent a top-tier Golden Core Master.¡±


    As they walked, Qing Nu was divulging confidential information.


    ¡°This should be kept a secret, you don¡¯t need to tell me this,¡±


    Chen Mobai was worried about Qing Nu and proactively suggested she say less.


    ¡°Deputy Director Lan said it¡¯s okay, you¡¯re one of the people in charge of this operation, so you can be privy to this information,¡± Qing Nu responded.


    Her words made Chen Mobai nod, and since it had been mentioned, he asked about the doubt in his mind.


    ¡°Which True Person from the Department of Law Enforcement has come?¡±


    As the strongest arm of the Orthodao Hall charged with maintaining inner discipline, the Department of Law Enforcement, despite its cumbersome system and mixed quality, had far more experts than the Sky-Mending Group, and its minister was also a Nascent Soul Superior of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have the rank to have met that Department of Law Enforcement expert, but yesterday when I was escorted to see my teacher, I felt a strong Sword Qi similar to yours. It must be a Sword Cultivator,¡± Qing Nu observed.


    Sword Cultivator!?


    There happened to be one of the dao sect¡¯s top Sword Dao masters within the Hall of Orthodox Law.


    Chen Mobai recalled and vaguely guessed who it might be.


    It was likely Gongsun Jielu, one of the four great Sword Cultivators of the dao sect, who also held a position as Deputy Minister of the Department of Law Enforcement,


    She hailed from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and was said to have mastered a portion of the Liu Yu Scripture and fused it with her own Sword Dao. Her reputation was not inferior to Nangong Xuanyu¡¯s.


    So it was her presence that assured Lan Haitian¡¯s confidence.


    Chen Mobai thought this and suddenly felt a sense of relief.


    With Gongsun Jielu there, it hardly mattered whether he acted or not; Yu Tianguang was certainly doomed.


    That said, his involvement might be an attempt by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to clear itself of suspicion.


    After all, for a dao academy, having a Golden Core Master revealed as a cultist is a massive blow to their reputation.


    But if Chen Mobai, as a representative of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, assisted, at least they could claim moral righteousness in fighting their own. Later public relations efforts might help restore some face.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Is Gu Changfeng detained in Yu Wood City?¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°Yes, he¡¯s serving his sentence by chopping logs in the Dark Forest. The reason for such a significant mobilization by the dao sect was his sudden accusation against the man in the red robe.¡±


    An occurrence like a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor being taken down had not happened in nearly a hundred years.


    If Yu Tianguang were to be arrested this time, the shock it would cause to the Immortal Gate would undoubtedly be profound. At the very least, the Dance Tool Dao Academy would be criticized, and people like Wang Shuye within the system would have a difficult time ahead.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Why confess neither early nor late, but choose to do so at this moment?¡±


    If it had been a few years earlier, then Chen Mobai would not have achieved Core Formation. Even if he had been forcibly conscripted while in Red Sandstone City, it would not have been as embarrassing as it was now.


    Taking action would be betraying kin for the sake of righteousness, for the sake of the Academy, but it was something that went against his conscience.


    But inaction was even less of an option, for he could end up being branded a cultist.


    Qing Nu, ¡°It¡¯s because the side effects of practicing the Devour God Technique have manifested. With his level of Foundation Establishment, he cannot control the increasingly violent surge of his Divine Sense and probably doesn¡¯t have much longer to live.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help revealing a look of sudden realization.


    Gu Changfeng had been arrested by Lan Haitian because of a Forbidden Technique.


    As his former protege, Qing Nu, who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had no traces of practicing Forbidden Techniques, was spared by the Jumang Academy.


    ¡°Just cultivate normally. Why resort to Forbidden Techniques? It¡¯s not that hard to enhance Divine Sense¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke those words, he began to feel somewhat guilty. Without the aid of Meng Huang¡¯s Mystic Sound Method, his realm of Divine Sense probably wouldn¡¯t have reached the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment by now.


    But he still had to say such things to maintain his persona as a genius.


    ¡°My teacher was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment practitioner. Having surpassed the physical peak lifespan without any means or seniority to acquire Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, the only way he could break through was by using a Forbidden Technique.¡±


    Yet, Qing Nu somewhat understood Gu Changfeng. After all, he had looked after her for many years, taught her alchemy, and it was through this knowledge that she was able to make Chen Mobai¡¯s acquaintance, a fated child, in her times of financial struggle.


    Because items like Qi-replenishing Spirit Water existed, compared to geniuses like them who rarely felt any bottlenecks, over ninety-nine percent of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Immortal Gate died full of resentment before reaching their limits.


    ¡°How did he identify Yu Tianguang?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. Matters concerning the Dance Tool Dao Academy couldn¡¯t be settled with the testimony of a criminal alone.


    ¡°That I do not know. The interrogation was conducted by another department of the Hall of Orthodox Law, but given how seriously the Sky-Mending Group and Department of Law Enforcement have taken this, there must be decisive evidence found through his testimony.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai could only sigh.


    The order to arrest Yu Tianguang had been given, and if he wanted to consider the best interests of the Daoist Academy, it would be best to perform well in the actions to follow.


    With a heavy heart, Chen Mobai walked with Qing Nu to the end of the shady lane.


    ¡°This is Guda Courtyard.¡±


    In front of a tall, Rank-4 elm tree, Qing Nu clasped a wooden plaque with both hands, her eyes closed as if making a wish.


    Chen Mobai watched her, considering whether he should also buy a plaque to wish for his family¡¯s health and safety, when a strange wave of Spiritual Machine caught his attention.


    He looked up towards the direction from which the wave was coming and saw a refined, middle-aged man with gentle eyes standing on the opposite side of the elm tree, looking at Qing Nu, who was making her wish, with fondness.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly and in an instant, was by the man¡¯s side.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    As he got close, Chen Mobai realized that the middle-aged man who should have been there had disappeared without a trace.


    Although his gaze had never left the man, just as Chen Mobai was about to use the Art of Spiritual Eyes, Qing Nu had already opened her eyes, looking delighted as she hung the wooden plaque from a branch of the elm tree with a red ribbon.


    Chen Mobai saw that there were four names written on the plaque, apart from Qing Nu¡¯s: Kong Feichen, Yang Jing, and his own.


    ¡°Why did you go over there?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Qing Nu, surprised to see Chen Mobai who was supposed to be behind her now in front of her, asked curiously.


    ¡°You looked beautiful while praying; I had the clearest view from here,¡± Chen Mobai said with a smile, causing Qing Nu¡¯s cheeks to turn red with embarrassment. She shyly turned her face away, unable to meet his gaze.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go; it¡¯s about time.¡±


    At this moment, the sky was quickly darkening, and before they knew it, they had spent the whole day there.


    As Chen Mobai walked away with Qing Nu, he couldn¡¯t resist looking back at the Guda Courtyard, his doubts growing ever deeper.

 Chapter 975 - Chapter 975 Chapter 536 The Narcissus Elder

    Chapter 975: Chapter 536: The Narcissus Elder Chapter 975: Chapter 536: The Narcissus Elder ¡°`


    At night, after sending Qing Nu back, Chen Mobai once again arrived at Guda Courtyard.


    Operating his Void Spirit Eye, he quickly sensed something peculiar.


    Traces of the Power of Void lingered here.


    Was it the Golden Core Domain? Or some other method concerning the Void?


    At that moment, Chen Mobai lifted his right hand, and strands of silvery light shone in his palm¨Cthe manifestation of his Golden Core Domain.


    For cultivators who had just achieved Core Formation, this was merely used as a storage bag.


    But after reaching the third layer of Core Formation, one could harness the Power of Void within it to form attacks resembling blades, and with more Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Gate, there was even a detailed book on the cultivation of Blade of the Void published.


    At the seventh layer of Core Formation, the Power of Void matured, capable of both offense and defense, even expanding to form a domain akin to a Law Sphere.


    This domain was the Void constructed in their usual practice, the place most suitable for their full display of power. Within it, a cultivator could exert several times their usual strength, and it was also the ace move that every Golden Core Master in the Immortal Gate kept up their sleeve.


    However, what Chen Mobai most desired to achieve was the Teleportation ability that came with the ultimate mastery of the Void.


    The Immortal Gate officially termed it ¡°Void Walking.¡±


    Once mastered, even if he encountered the most perilous situations, he could escape in the simplest of ways.


    In past times, Master Chengxuan had transported Chen Mobai from Building One directly to the deepest part of the Treasure Trove using Teleportation, which left a deep impression on him.


    This Void Walking was generally a marker of Nascent Soul Superiors, but in the history of the Immortal Gate, there were also a very few exceptional Golden Core Masters who had achieved it.


    Chen Mobai felt with his outstanding aptitude, he was entirely capable of attempting the challenge.


    After dealing with his current affairs, aside from his cultivation of Pure Yang Scroll, he could attempt to comprehend the Underworld Array and the Void Law Body. With an entire Void Mysterious Stone Mine to support him, he believed he could achieve Void Walking at the Golden Core Realm.


    As the layers of the Golden Core Domain delineated by the Immortal Gate flashed through his mind, Chen Mobai used his Divine Sense to push his Domain toward the remnants of the Void Power within Guda Courtyard.


    Since he had successfully founded his Domain during Foundation Establishment, his Power of Void was now far superior to an average Golden Core; however, due to his relatively weak Divine Sense, he was still unable to fully control and form the Blade of the Void.


    But it was still sufficient for exploration.


    Before long, two streaks of silver light flickered in the night.


    With the constant support of Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he quickly breached a small hidden space.


    A palm-sized puppet with closed eyes emerged in front of him.


    The puppet was exquisitely lifelike, its face identical to the middle-aged man Chen Mobai had seen here during the day.


    A luminous green light shone across the puppet¡¯s body as it opened its eyes, and in that instant it caught sight of Chen Mobai, its hollow gaze betrayed a flash of surprised light.


    ¡°Within the Immortal Gate, very few possess such superb puppetry skills. Who are you?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached out to grasp the puppet.


    A faint laugh rang out as the puppet suddenly enlarged to become as big as a human. Its right hand transformed into a drill, spinning and spiraling towards Chen Mobai¡¯s palm.


    The Mirror of Six Yang Divine Fire appeared, colliding with the spiral.


    The golden light shield twisted slightly, but under the support of Pure Yang Spiritual Power, it held firm.


    ¡°My patience is limited. I¡¯m giving you one last chance to come clean.¡±


    Frowning, Chen Mobai withdrew the Mirror of Six Yang Divine Fire and raised his right hand, making a grasping motion in the air.


    Just as a mocking smile appeared on the puppet¡¯s face, the Void suddenly tore open, and Chen Mobai grasped and drew out a long-hilted sword artifact shimmering with purple light. The surging lightning current caused the puppet to tremble violently, as if it were malfunctioning.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword!¡±


    The puppet uttered in a synthesized electronic voice, staring in surprise at the handsome, remarkable young man standing with sword in hand before it.


    ¡°If I were to use this sword, it would quickly attract other nearby Golden Core Masters. Once others rush here, you¡¯ll have even less of a chance.¡±


    If possible, Chen Mobai did not want to involve Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu, especially since he had already begun to deduce the origin of this puppet.


    If this matter were to be investigated, it could incite a major storm within the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Indeed, the Purple Electric Sword is powerful, but you¡¯ve only just achieved Core Formation. It¡¯s impossible for you to be in unity with the sword¡¯s spirit, in Unity of Man and Sword. You still cannot be my match¡­¡±


    The puppet had not finished speaking when the Purple Electric Sword burst into a clear purple glow. The light, following Chen Mobai¡¯s sword-holding right hand, covered his entire body.


    This was precisely the state of controlling the Sword Heart and being in Clear Heart of Sword.


    ¡°Young friend, may I inquire your esteemed name?¡±


    The puppet suddenly changed its tune, speaking to Chen Mobai in a kind manner.


    ¡°You do not know me?¡±


    This was rather bizarre. Although Chen Mobai had tried to keep a low profile since recently achieving Core Formation, his reputation was still the most resonant in the past decade.

    ¡°This puppet has been left here for dozens of years and was only activated yesterday. I¡¯m not very familiar with the recent events of the Immortal Gate.¡±


    The words of the puppet affirmed Chen Mobai¡¯s judgment even more.


    ¡°Is it because of Qing Nu? You are Xin Ji.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the puppet paused momentarily and then asked with surprise, ¡°How did you know?¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 Chapter 536 Narcissus the Sage_2

    Chapter 976: Chapter 536 Narcissus the Sage_2 Chapter 976: Chapter 536 Narcissus the Sage_2 ¡°Within the Immortal Gate, I consider myself an expert in Puppetry Technique as well. At your level, aside from my teacher Che Yucheng, the only other person I can think of is Xin Ji. Moreover, I¡¯ve heard from the people at Jumang Academy that Qing Nu looks exactly like your daughter.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the puppet hesitated unexpectedly for several seconds.


    ¡°You, what is your relationship with Qing Nu?¡±


    ¡°A friend, I suppose.¡±


    ¡°Friend can mean many things. Can you elaborate? I won¡¯t mind.¡±


    Chen Mobai grew annoyed after hearing what the puppet said.


    ¡°What business is it of yours what my relationship with Qing Nu is, even if you do mind!¡±


    As he spoke, purple electricity flowed from the Purple Electric Sword in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm. The spiritual energy in the Guda Courtyard began to respond to his command, turning into specks of electrical light that gradually spread to form a magnetic field of electricity.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    The puppet tried to say something else when it suddenly found it couldn¡¯t synthesize its electronic voice anymore.


    ¡°This current can specifically counter puppets?!¡±


    Chen Mobai was himself a Rank-3 Puppet Master from the Immortal Gate. Utilizing Enlightenment Tea, he had comprehended all the technical aspects of the Formless Puppet, and his understanding was no less than that of Che Yucheng.


    He had previously conceived how to quickly unravel a puppet should he encounter one.


    The key components of the Immortal Gate¡¯s puppets were primarily made of bionic materials, using neural currents to transmit information and commands.


    After achieving Unity of Man and Sword with the Purple Electric Sword, he could manipulate even the most minute electrical currents to accomplish this.


    When the puppet realized its movements were becoming rigid, its body¡¯s green luminescence flickered. Before Chen Mobai¡¯s astonished eyes, it suddenly disintegrated into pieces.


    ¡°Did it self-destruct?¡±


    Frowning, Chen Mobai took out a Yellow Skin Gourd and began examining the fragments of the puppet, manipulated by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    Soon, he discovered a core similar to the Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    However, this core was blue-black, emitting a cold aura.


    [Be sure to protect Qing Nu and be careful not to go near Red Sandstone City. There lies a sinister individual, a reincarnated soldier from the Ascension Sect.]


    As Chen Mobai picked up the core, a deliberately preserved message was conveyed to him.


    After learning this information, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze abruptly tightened.


    Those from the Ascension Sect capable of reincarnation by disintegration were considered equivalent to Nascent Soul Superiors in the Immortal Gate.


    If there indeed was such an existence hidden near Red Sandstone City, was their current lineup insufficient?


    Did he need to report this to the higher-ups of the Immortal Gate?


    Chen Mobai could only contact Master Chengxuan from the Dance Tool Dao Academy among the Nascent Soul Superiors.


    However, reporting it would inevitably involve Qing Nu and Xin Ji.


    Moreover, it could also be a feint from Xin Ji.


    Chen Mobai was not certain that Xin Ji¡¯s words were true.


    Tell Kaiyuan Hall or Lan Haitian and the others?


    After considering many things, Chen Mobai felt it was prudent to report the matter, but he couldn¡¯t be the one to appear there.


    After much thought, he finally came up with a plan.


    As the top figure of Yu Wood City, it would be easy for him to find out where Gu Changfeng was detained.


    Dividing his mind into thoughts, he controlled a Formless Puppet and arrived outside of the prison.


    After waiting a long time, he finally saw a familiar figure.


    Lin Yin, holding documents, walked out from the prison with a calm gaze, and beside her was Qing Nu.


    The two had apparently just finished speaking with Gu Changfeng. It was unclear what news had been divulged, as Lin Yin¡¯s eyes shone with excitement.


    ¡°Who would have imagined that the Devour God Technique could actually¡­¡±


    Lin Yin¡¯s sigh was cut short when she sensed something amiss. She abruptly turned her head toward a large tree by the road.


    A strange aura no less powerful than her own had attracted her attention, but the source seemed to realize it had been exposed and immediately began to move away.


    ¡°You go back to the prison. If I¡¯m not back in ten minutes, notify the deputy chief of the group.¡±


    Lin Yin¡¯s expression was grave as she spoke to Qing Nu, then she employed her movement technique and vanished from her original spot, rushing towards the area where she sensed the strange fluctuations of spiritual energy.


    Indeed, the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s people are all fearless in the face of death.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet sensed the biomagnetic field of Lin Yin following it, nodded slightly, and then stopped. After cutting down a Spirit Wood with a wave of his hand and leaving behind a piece of paper with words pieced together from newspaper fonts, he disappeared from the spot.


    Once a Top-grade Spirit Stone is placed inside the Formless Puppet, it can burst forth with the power of the Golden Core Stage.


    Lin Yin immediately felt the peculiar spiritual energy surge in speed and then, suddenly, it vanished from the range of her divine sense.


    She frowned and pursued for another few steps, quickly arriving at the place where the spiritual energy had just skyrocketed and then vanished.


    At first glance, she saw the cut-down Spirit Wood and the crookedly pieced-together newspaper scrap on top of it.


    Upon seeing this, Lin Yin¡¯s complexion changed dramatically in an instant.


    ¡­


    Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu shared a surprised look after reading the scrap of paper Lin Yin had brought over.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Besides you, who else has seen this paper scrap?¡±


    Lin Yin, ¡°No one else. I did not have Qing Nu follow me.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Hmm, I will report this matter to the chief of the group. Remember, you must not reveal it to anyone but yourself.¡±


    After listening, Lin Yin nodded solemnly, then stepped back and closed the door.


    ¡°Guess, who is reminding us?¡±


    Gongsun Jielu looked at the paper scrap again and asked with some astonishment.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°To toy with Lin Yin, at the very least, it must be a cultivator at our rank.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu, ¡°Then it¡¯s quite obvious, in Yu Wood City besides us, there is only one Golden Core Master.¡±


    After hearing this, Lan Haitian picked up his phone and made calls to some informants within the Sky-Mending Group.


    Soon, he put down the phone and shook his head.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Chen Mobai was teaching at Qing Sang Academy today. The vice-principal of the academy, many teachers, and students were present in his class, and he has not left yet, possessing a perfect alibi.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu, ¡°If I remember correctly, he is the disciple of Che Yucheng, his graduation masterpiece being the Formless Puppet.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°But you must know, to reach the Golden Core Stage strength, the Formless Puppet must use top-grade Spirit Stones, and the whereabouts of every single top-grade Spirit Stone within the Immortal Gate is clear ¨C he does not have one.¡±


    Hearing this, Gongsun Jielu didn¡¯t say anything more. She pointed to the paper scrap, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked Lan Haitian how to handle it.


    ¡°Report to the Superior.¡±


    Soon, the office where the two were situated opened a void, and a girl with white long hair, white eyebrows, and skin white and smooth like jade stepped out.


    ¡°Paying respects to Master Narcissus!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, stand up.¡±


    This operation, although nominally led by Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu, was in fact personally supervised by the minister of the Department of Law Enforcement.


    Originally, Master Chengxuan himself wanted to come and clean house, but to avoid bias, the Immortal Gate still dispatched the appropriately positioned Master Narcissus.


    ¡°That¡¯s the situation.¡±


    After listening to Lan Haitian¡¯s report, Master Narcissus also read the paper scrap and suddenly burst into laughter.


    ¡°I had thought this was merely a relaxing journey, but unexpectedly, it¡¯s turning out to be quite interesting.¡±


    ¡­


    The Sky-Mending Group and the Department of Law Enforcement had prepared a lot for this operation.


    So, on the third day of their arrival in Yu Wood City, they had already notified Chen Mobai to set off towards Red Sandstone City.


    Since it was to capture a Golden Core Master, they all traveled light and after leaving Yu Wood City by car, they directly activated a specially made Flying Talisman, rendering everyone¡¯s forms concealed as if they were invisible currents in the sky heading towards Red Sandstone City.

    And after entering the territory of Red Sandstone City, they all descended.


    Upon landing, Chen Mobai stood on the outermost edge.


    Qing Nu immediately walked over and handed him a bottle of water.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled at her, then looked up at the Biyu Wutong Tree that was now within sight.

 Chapter 977 - Chapter 977 Chapter 537 The Path to Heaven

    Chapter 977: Chapter 537 The Path to Heaven Chapter 977: Chapter 537 The Path to Heaven While Chen Mobai was looking at the Biyu Wutong, a woman with short hair wearing a green suit approached.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get acquainted, I¡¯m Gongsun Jielu.¡±


    She took the initiative to extend her hand, and Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, but he also extended his hand politely.


    ¡°When I was at the Daoist Academy, I heard True Person Zuo Gong speak of the sword cultivators of Xianmen, saying that Vice Minister Gongsun is one of the elites.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Gongsun Jielu smile slightly, and with a wave of her hand, the domain split open and chairs and tables landed on the ground.


    ¡°They say you¡¯re the most dazzling swordsmanship talent since Ancestor Baiguang. I¡¯ve always wanted to meet you, but official duties kept me busy, and only now have I had the chance.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu spoke and took her seat first, then invited Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, who was beside him, to sit as well.


    ¡°That¡¯s an overstatement. I¡¯m only considered decent because there is no one outstanding among my peers. Compared to you, Vice Minister Gongsun, I can only say that I am passable.¡±


    Although what Chen Mobai was most famous for was his swordsmanship talent, in actuality, his talent in this area could only be described as ordinary compared to farming, talismans, puppets, etc.


    He now dared not approach the Great Dao Tree, as his Sword Dao Realm had been stagnant at ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± for some time.


    Fearing that Gongsun Jielu would ask him about Sword Dao, Chen Mobai promptly became humble.


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°I heard from Zuo Gong that he passed the Sword Destruction Collection to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Back when I was at the Daoist Academy, True Person Zuo Gong took a liking to me and gave it to me along with the Sword Control Department¡¯s textbooks.¡±


    In reality, it was because Zuo Gong couldn¡¯t teach Chen Mobai anymore, so he gave him his treasured Sword Destruction Collection, considering it as having given guidance.


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°So have you accomplished anything with it?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Lacking resources, I¡¯ve achieved nothing.¡±


    The Sword Destruction Collection required Earthly Fiendish Qi, and although with Chen Mobai¡¯s current status, procuring a bit of Five Elements Evil Qi wouldn¡¯t be too conspicuous, he decided to shake his head anyway, out of caution.


    After all, he now had the Purple Electric Sword, and the power of the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation wasn¡¯t particularly important.


    Within the Immortal Sect, with his and the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s minds in harmony, others would only think his Sword Heart was extraordinary, his talent exceptional, and his match with the Sword Artifact incredibly close.


    But Earthly Fiendish Qi, within the systems of Xianmen, still had the possibility of exposure.


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°That¡¯s quite a pity. I heard from Zuo Gong that you mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting, capable of evolving the Five Elements Sword Light. I thought that after Core Formation, you would collect the Five Elements Evil Qi first thing and cultivate the Five Elements Sword Sha.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai chuckled dryly twice but did not continue the conversation.


    In his mind, however, he wondered how Zuo Gong could not keep things to himself and had revealed his secrets.


    ¡°The Head of Immortal Affairs is getting old and is preparing to retire. If Gongye Zhixu can¡¯t achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ then the Righteous Law Hall Master would naturally replace him.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu suddenly said something that caught Chen Mobai off guard, as he was interested in becoming the Sect Master but knew that there was no chance of getting involved in such high-level matters within the next hundred years.


    Chen Mobai continued to stay silent, and Gongsun Jielu kept talking.


    ¡°In that case, the current Deputy Hall Master of the Dharma Hall, who is also the Enforcement Department Director, Narcissus, would naturally be promoted to become one of the Three Great Halls¡¯ Righteous Law Hall Masters.¡±


    ¡°After Narcissus¡¯ promotion, the competition for the Deputy Hall Master of the Dharma Hall would be between me and Wen Lianshan of the Sky-Mending Group. However, the chances are high that I would get it, as the Sky-Mending Group has always worked behind the scenes and doesn¡¯t have as good a reputation as me.¡±


    ¡°Another reason is that I¡¯m more suited to cultivate the Immortal Sect Sword Art.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai had a vague idea of why Gongsun Jielu was telling him all this, but he remained silent, pretending to be unaware.


    ¡°If I do become the Deputy Hall Master of the Righteous Law Hall, Wen Lianshan will likely transition from the shadows to a more public role and take up the position of Enforcement Department Director. I would be glad to make this trade with him.¡±


    ¡°That would mean Lan Haitian would become the leader of the Sky-Mending Group, but the Enforcement Department would lack a vice director. If you¡¯re willing, I could arrange for you to join after this affair.¡±


    ¡°Later, with a little more experience and some achievements, with your cultivation level and support from both the Dance Instruments and Sky-Mending factions, as well as my backing, securing the position of vice director will be almost certain.¡±


    After listening to all of Gongsun Jielu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was greatly tempted.


    This could be said to be the most suitable official career path for him.


    A high starting point in the Department of Law Enforcement with a clear promotional roadmap that was also highly achievable.


    Becoming one of the Three Great Halls¡¯ Masters was a childhood dream of his.

    ¡°After becoming vice director, with your stunning talent, you are bound to surpass Wen Lianshan and the others. When you become deputy hall master, you can practice the top sword artifact of the Immortal Sect, which for a sword cultivator, is considered an unparalleled scripture.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu, seeing Chen Mobai seemed moved, added more incentives, mentioning the Immortal Sect Sword Art that all sword cultivators aspired to.


    In the past, Ancestor Baiguang was, while holding the position of Righteous Law Hall Master, enlightened by the Immortal Sect Sword Art, developing the Method of Entrusting the Primordial Spirit, embarking on the path to Divinity Transformation.


    However, Gongsun Jielu¡¯s words had the opposite effect.


    Chen Mobai was very clear about his own swordsmanship talent. Nowadays, within Xianmen, he was ranked alongside Ancestor Baiguang as having the Qualification of Deification, but this couldn¡¯t be further from the truth.

 Chapter 978 - Chapter 978 Chapter 537 The Road to Heaven_2

    Chapter 978: Chapter 537: The Road to Heaven_2 Chapter 978: Chapter 537: The Road to Heaven_2 ¡°`


    ¡°If I fail to grasp anything from the Immortal Sect Sword Art now, wouldn¡¯t I be blatantly telling the world that I¡¯m a fraud?¡±


    Thinking about such a socially disastrous possibility, Chen Mobai felt it was safer to focus on obtaining resources and cultivating in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Vice Minister Gongsun, I still prefer the way things are now, with no music to disturb my ears and no documents to tire my body, and it¡¯s closer to home too,¡±


    Chen Mobai tactfully declined Gongsun Jielu¡¯s offer, and upon hearing this, she looked surprised.


    Then she turned to look at Qing Women, seeming to remember something, and with a frown, she added another sentence.


    ¡°Her case is merely an exception; you needn¡¯t worry that the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect are all like that.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Qing Women, who had been expressionless until then, suddenly became visibly moved. Her eyes became moist as she looked at Chen Mobai, touched.


    She had thought that Chen Mobai was irritated by the upper echelons because of her and therefore had rejected this path leading straight to the heavens.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    ¡°I am simply following my own heart, not wanting to entangle my Sword Heart with mundane affairs¨Cit has nothing to do with others.¡±


    Before Qing Women could say anything, Chen Mobai interrupted firmly, not wanting her to misunderstand.


    But his words seemed to have the opposite effect.


    The tears Qing Women had been holding back couldn¡¯t be restrained any longer and started streaming down her smooth, pale cheeks as she began to sob quietly.


    Seeing this scene, Gongsun Jielu sighed.


    No wonder he could resonate with Master Qingshi¡¯s Purple Electric Sword Heart; he too was a man of deep emotion.


    Thinking this, Gongsun Jielu did not say anything more and turned to leave.


    Chen Mobai was left standing there somewhat stiffly.


    He thought he had made himself clear, so why had Qing Women suddenly started to cry?


    After hesitating for a long time, Chen Mobai took a pack of tissues out of his Golden Core Domain.


    Just as he handed it to Qing Women, she threw herself into his arms and began to cry even harder.


    Seeing that others nearby were turning their gazes towards them, Chen Mobai felt extremely awkward. He could only cast a Wooden House Talisman that enclosed both him and Qing Women, blocking them from the view of onlookers.


    ¡°Brother Chen, the formation is all set up, we¡¯re ready to head up the mountain,¡±


    It was about half an hour later when Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came from outside the wooden house. Chen Mobai could only pat Qing Women on the back, who after sobbing for a while, had calmed down quite a bit, though she still felt somewhat ashamed and continued to shrink in Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace.


    Now that they were being prompted, Qing Women had no choice but to let go of Chen Mobai¡¯s waist, her face flushed. She lowered her head, unconsciously twirling a strand of hair on the right side of her face.


    ¡°Stay here and wait in peace; we¡¯ll take care of this matter quickly.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed the tissues in his hand to Qing Women and then patted her head before getting up and leaving the wooden house.


    ¡°Fair winds on your journey.¡±


    Qing Women¡¯s soft words followed him as Chen Mobai, with his back to her, waved his right hand, then joined Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu outside, all of them transforming into beams of Escaping Light and flying towards the Cinnabarite Institute.


    At the base of the mountain, Lan Haitian had already used a Magic Artifact to confirm the whereabouts of Yu Tianguang.


    The three of them did not waste any time; they avoided the students and rushed straight to the mountaintop, to a stone house where the Spirit Vein was strongest.


    ¡°Who dares to be so impolite!¡±


    As Chen Mobai and his two companions landed on the mountaintop, Yu Tianguang inside the stone house immediately sensed it. His displeased voice rang out.


    With the stone door opening, he saw Chen Mobai at the entrance and frowned slightly.


    ¡°What are you doing here? You don¡¯t even bring a basket of fruit when visiting me!¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit awkward and pointed to the sides of the stone house with his hand.


    Yu Tianguang stepped out of the stone door, glancing left and right, his face suddenly changing.


    ¡°Vice Minister Gongsun, Vice Chief Lan! What brings you two to my place today?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian didn¡¯t say much but directly took out an arrest warrant and sent it flying to Yu Tianguang with a puff of air.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Pure nonsense. I¡¯ve been a bona fide member of the Immortal Sect since birth and a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being blamed by the principal and Ancestor Baiguang for slandering me as a cultist!¡±


    Upon seeing the arrest warrant, Yu Tianguang¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    It seemed he really was being wronged.


    Chen Mobai thought this, yet remained silent, simply watching how Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu interacted with Yu Tianguang.


    ¡°Originally, Master Chengxuan wanted to come in person to clean up the mess to avoid tarnishing the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s reputation because of you. However, the Immortal Sect decided to deal with this matter quietly, so they only called on nearby Councilor Chen to follow along.¡±


    As Lan Haitian spoke, he pointed to the embarrassed-looking Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Chen kid, what exactly is going on here?¡±


    Yu Tianguang immediately glared at Chen Mobai, shaking the arrest warrant in his hand excitedly. A flame of fury ignited in his eyes.


    ¡°True Person Yu, I am acting on the orders of the Kaiyuan Hall Council, cooperating with these two.¡±


    Chen Mobai gently stated, expressing his stance.


    But this very statement caused Yu Tianguang¡¯s face to alternate between red and white.


    Being the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s most outstanding graduate in recent centuries, Chen Mobai stood beside Lan Haitian, blocking Yu Tianguang¡¯s way, and Yu Tianguang knew the academy had abandoned him.


    ¡°I am innocent. I want to see the principal. I want to see the masters of The Three Great Halls. I want to see Ancestor Baiguang¡­¡±


    As a Cultivator who had grown up within the Immortal Sect, Yu Tianguang knew very well the Sect¡¯s background and power. He intended to rely on his formidable strength to argue his case, but he didn¡¯t dare to truly make a move.


    In the end, all he could do was shout loudly to proclaim his innocence!


    As the clicking sound rang out, Lan Haitian produced a pair of specially made handcuffs and approached Yu Tianguang.


    ¡°True Person Yu, your status as a Kaiyuan Hall councilor has not yet been revoked, and I do not wish to make this ugly¡­¡±


    While speaking, Lan Haitian hinted for Yu Tianguang to give up resisting.


    After hearing this, Yu Tianguang¡¯s face turned crimson with rage, and the powerful Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea burst forth, as if he intended to resist.


    However, Gongsun Jielu next to him drew a toothpick from his sleeve and flicked it lightly. A sharp, dark-green Sword Light burst out, instantly piercing into Yu Tianguang¡¯s Gold Core.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s shocked gaze, Yu Tianguang¡¯s Spiritual Power dissipated entirely, seemingly retracting back into his Gold Core, nailed down and suppressed by that toothpick.


    With a pfft, Yu Tianguang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The vast disparity in strength left him feeling utterly disheartened. Although he still had his Lifespan Artifact to activate, it would have been a futile effort against Gongsun Jielu, a Sword Dao grandmaster.


    The arrest of Yu Tianguang went unexpectedly smoothly.


    From beginning to end, Chen Mobai never lifted a finger, merely serving as a witness to Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu subduing Yu Tianguang.


    ¡°Chen kid, I¡¯ve been wronged. You must tell the principal¡­¡±


    As Yu Tianguang was being taken away by Lan Haitian, he lifted his head and said one last thing to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this incident won¡¯t affect your record in the Immortal Sect, and might even be recorded as a merit.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu walked up to Chen Mobai and struck up conversation again.


    ¡°Do you truly not want to join the Hall of Orthodox Law? Is it that you dislike the Department of Law Enforcement? What about the Sky-Mending Group and the Military Department, are you interested in those?¡±


    The Hall of Orthodox Law controlled the two major martial forces inside and outside the Immortal Sect, with the Military Department being directly led by the Righteous Law Hall Master, while the Department of Law Enforcement was under the Vice Hall Master.


    ¡°No, I just want to live a simple life training with the sword and farming, and in my spare time, drawing talismans and making puppets.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai¡¯s demeanor, wanting a reclusive life, puzzled Gongsun Jielu.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to undergo ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t one undergo ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ without relying on the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai retorted.


    ¡°Without the support of the Immortal Sect, you would need the resources of the Four Great Daoist Sects. But the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Infant Forming Spirit Medicine has already been given to Duanmu Longrong; are you sure you want to wait three hundred years?¡±

 Chapter 979 - Chapter 979 Chapter 538 The Real Goal

    Chapter 979: Chapter 538 The Real Goal Chapter 979: Chapter 538 The Real Goal Chen Mobai: ¡°Does Nascent Soul Formation necessarily rely on external objects?¡±


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°In the history of the Immortal Gate, Yuanyang Ancestor is the only one who formed a Nascent Soul without using Spiritual Objects. Even for him, he needed the Portal to send him to the Taiyin Star so that his Gold Core could break open and birth the Nascent Soul.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°But aren¡¯t there also cultivators of the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique?¡±


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°Even those who have perfected the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique would not reject Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, because there are some barriers that one could not get past without consuming Elixirs, no matter how many times one tries.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai had a look of realization. It was the first time he knew about these things.


    Then he smiled slightly and said something that left Gongsun Jielu stunned in place.


    ¡°Then, I will try to be the first one.¡±


    What first one?


    To form a Nascent Soul purely by oneself, without relying on external objects!?


    Has he gone mad?


    Does he think he is Yuanyang Ancestor? That¡¯s an Innate Pure Yang Body, cultivated into an Immortal Spirit Root with an Immortal Technique of Patching Heaven¨Cthe most defiant talent, whose foundation was so profound and talent so extraordinary, he was indisputably the first person of the Immortal Gate, unparalleled in ancient and modern times!


    Although you are regarded as having the Qualification of Deification, compared with Yuanyang Ancestor, you are far from being on the same level¡­ Eh¡­ this guy in front of me¡­ seems¡­ looks like¡­


    At this point, Gongsun Jielu suddenly remembered that Chen Mobai was cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, which had been revised by Yuanyang Ancestor.


    If he really cultivated the Pure Yang Daoist Body to Perfection, it was possible for him to refine his talents into a half Yuanyang Ancestor.


    That would be the cultivation of an Acquired Pure Yang Body, not as good as the Innate.


    But even so, it was still an incredible talent.


    In that case¡­


    His statement doesn¡¯t seem so preposterous after all!


    After realizing this, Gongsun Jielu started looking at Chen Mobai differently.


    This guy, could he actually manage to form a Nascent Soul on his own?


    Thinking this, Gongsun Jielu felt like the Immortal Gate was of no use to him anymore.


    Qualification of Deification, terrifying indeed!


    For the first time in his life, Gongsun Jielu, who had always prided himself on his extraordinary talent, felt jealous and envious of the talent of a younger person.


    With this, the good mood he had for making an arrest and gaining merit had mostly dissipated.


    Chen Mobai watched as Gongsun Jielu walked forward in silence and couldn¡¯t help scratching his head, feeling that the statement he had just made was perhaps a bit too bold.


    But that¡¯s always been his role in the Immortal Gate!


    As he was about to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.


    Wait, didn¡¯t Master Xin Ji say that there is a wicked person reincarnated from the Ascension Sect in the Red Sandstone City?


    Yu Tianguang was easily subdued by Gongsun Jielu, so obviously, it wasn¡¯t him.


    If Yu Tianguang wasn¡¯t the one, then why, when he, the remnant of the Ascension Sect, was taken away, had the wicked person not yet made a move?


    Does that indicate¡­


    As Chen Mobai thought about it, he felt more and more likely that Yu Tianguang had been wronged.


    But even thinking this way, there was no way he could help clear Yu Tianguang¡¯s name, as the Immortal Gate does respect evidence.


    When Chen Mobai followed Gongsun Jielu back to the base of the mountain, Lin Yin was already directing members of the Sky-Mending Group who had come to dismantle the Formation they had previously set up.


    Lan Haitian, holding a handcuff chain, with the other end connected to Yu Tianguang¡¯s handcuffs, was responsible for the close custody before he was escorted to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    After all, Yu Tianguang¡¯s identity was not ordinary, and he would need to go through a complete trial process before his guilt could be established.


    When Chen Mobai returned, he felt as if a gaze from a hidden place glanced at him.


    However, upon looking around, he found nothing.


    Chen Mobai hesitated but still decided to sit down next to Yu Tianguang and Lan Haitian.


    ¡°His Gold Core has been pinned down by Deputy Minister Gongsun, rendering him unable to use his Spiritual Power. I alone can guard him,¡±


    Lan Haitian thought Chen Mobai was deeply afraid that Yu Tianguang might escape and bring shame to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and said with a laugh.


    ¡°No matter the outcome of the trial, True Person Yu has been kind to me, and I will escort him along the way so that he will not suffer.¡±


    Chen Mobai chose to follow his own heart, making this choice.


    At these words, Yu Tianguang, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them wide, gave Chen Mobai a deep look, seemed like he wanted to say something but then sighed and lowered his head.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll trouble Brother Chen to keep me company on this journey,¡±


    Lan Haitian didn¡¯t refuse and invited Chen Mobai to sit down with a smile.


    Because they hadn¡¯t anticipated that the arrest would go so smoothly, they still needed to wait a while for the Immortal Gate¡¯s flying vessel to come.


    ¡°I have always been curious. What kind of evidence was it that allowed the Hall of Orthodox Law to act so decisively, even to the point of involving me in the arrest of True Person Yu?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After harboring doubts, Chen Mobai found the process of having Yu Tianguang identified as a remnant of the Ascension Sect a bit problematic.


    Within the Immortal Gate, to convict a councilor of the Kaiyuan Hall, an official notice had to be issued by the Kaiyuan Hall first, stripping him of his councilorship, and then the Hall of Orthodox Law could move in to arrest.


    There had been instances where Kaiyuan Hall councilors had been arrested directly, but those were during urgent war times or when the Huashen Ancestor gave the direct order. In times of peace like now, Chen Mobai had never heard of bypassing protocol and acting directly like this.


    ¡°Brother Chen, before we came here, we suddenly received a mysterious slip of paper.¡±


    Lan Haitian, instead of answering directly, mentioned something that made Chen Mobai¡¯s heart skip a beat. However, he kept his expression unchanged and pretended to be surprised as he inquired, ¡°What slip of paper?¡±

 Chapter 980 - Chapter 980 Chapter 538 The Real Target_2

    Chapter 980: Chapter 538 The Real Target_2 Chapter 980: Chapter 538 The Real Target_2 ¡°I still have it saved; take a look, Brother Chen.¡±


    Lan Haitian handed over the sentence cobbled together using the characters from the newspaper, and when Chen Mobai picked it up, a look of ¡°shock¡± appeared on his face.


    ¡°Yu True Person doesn¡¯t look like it.¡±


    After pondering, Chen Mobai spoke those words, then handed the sentence back.


    However, when Lan Haitian took it back, he performed an action that astonished Chen Mobai greatly.


    ¡°Yu True Person, please take a look as well.¡±


    Yu Tianguang had always been curious, but thinking he was wronged and wanting to behave properly, he deliberately closed his eyes when Lan Haitian presented the paper, as a gesture to show he wouldn¡¯t peek.


    But now that Lan Haitian personally asked him to look, Yu Tianguang opened his eyes.


    Upon reading, his expression underwent a drastic change!


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! If it were me, I would have definitely suppressed the three of you on the spot, not put up with this nonsense. Plus, after entering Wangwu Cave Heaven, under the watch of two at Divinity Transformation, I would have had no chance to escape, so why would I have surrendered without a fight?¡±


    Yu Tianguang¡¯s words garnered Chen Mobai¡¯s full agreement; if he were reincarnated as an evildoer from the Ascension Sect, he surely would have tried to break free from the Immortal Gate¡¯s shackles and flee Di Yuan Star the moment he was exposed.


    ¡°Twenty-three years ago, I carried out a mission in Red Sandstone City. During that incident, I worked with Brother Chen to slay all the Ascension Sect¡¯s heretics, but the target we needed to protect was taken away by a mysterious Golden Core Master¡­¡±


    Lan Haitian recounted an old case.


    ¡°It couldn¡¯t have been me.¡±


    After listening, Yu Tianguang uttered five words, but he lacked sufficient evidence to prove his innocence.


    ¡°After our investigation, not a single Golden Core Master from the Immortal Gate was in Red Sandstone City at that time, so the suspect had to be a local resident.¡±


    ¡°What about Shi Qing! Why are you so sure it¡¯s me?¡± Yu Tianguang blurted out immediately upon hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words.


    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s also True Person Shi Qing!¡±


    Lan Haitian simply smiled and clapped his hands, causing Chen Mobai to furrow his brows at this gesture.


    ¡°Last month, Gu Changfeng who was incarcerated for practicing a Forbidden Technique suddenly confessed, claiming he copied the Devour God Technique for you and that you also cultivated this Forbidden Technique.¡±


    ¡°Impossible, I swear I haven¡¯t cultivated the Devour God Technique!¡±


    Yu Tianguang spoke, about to raise his hand and swear an oath of his Dao Heart.


    ¡°Yu True Person, wait a moment. Gu Changfeng has also sworn a Dao Heart oath stating definitively that you have cultivated the Devour God Technique. The Mind-reading Talisman of the Hall of Orthodox Law ensures he has not lied.¡±


    Lan Haitian stopped Yu Tianguang from making an oath and spoke words that left Yu Tianguang with a stunned gaze.


    ¡°What in the world is going on? I really haven¡¯t cultivated the Devour God Technique¡­¡±


    By the time he said this, Yu Tianguang no longer had the same confidence.


    Because if Gu Changfeng has survived the Dao Heart oath and the Mind-reading Talisman, it means he has told the truth.


    Yet Yu Tianguang was certain that his own memory contained no trace of any cultivation of the Devour God Technique!


    ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    At this moment, Lan Haitian suddenly addressed Chen Mobai, who after some thought, offered a response, ¡°Is there a possibility that Yu True Person, without his knowledge, cultivated some Art of Divine Consciousness, believing it to be a normal technique of the Immortal Gate, but it turned out to be a Forbidden Technique?¡±


    Clap clap!


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Lan Haitian suddenly burst into applause, nodding at Chen Mobai with a greatly surprised expression.


    ¡°Correct, that is also a possibility we deduced. So the question arises, which Art of Divine Consciousness that Yu True Person cultivated could be the Devour God Technique?¡±


    As soon as Lan Haitian¡¯s words ended, Yu Tianguang immediately started to recall, listing the names of all the books he had read related to Divine Consciousness from his Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer days onward.


    ¡°Volcano Meditation Technique,¡± ¡°Morning Sun Technique,¡± ¡°Divine Control Technique,¡± ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm,¡± ¡°Rising Sun Mind Movement Method¡±¡­


    When Chen Mobai heard of the Divine Manipulation Technique, his heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°The ¡®Morning Sun Technique¡¯ and the ¡®Divine Manipulation Technique¡¯ are two modified directions of the Devour God Technique, it couldn¡¯t possibly be these two, could it?¡±


    After recounting all the contents related to divine consciousness from his memory, Yu Tianguang somewhat uncertainly said.


    ¡°Can True Person Yu recite the contents of these cultivation techniques from your memory?¡±


    Lan Haitian asked again, and Yu Tianguang immediately nodded.


    Lin Yin promptly took out paper and pen while also moving a table over.


    Humming!


    Just at that moment, the flying ship prepared by the Hall of Orthodox Law arrived in the airspace above them. Since the primary target had been arrested, there was no need to disguise the tremendous disturbance.


    Soon, people from the Cinnabarite Institute noticed the enormous object that had appeared in the sky.


    Two Foundation Establishment teachers came over immediately, Lin Yin went up and gave a brief explanation. They also saw Yu Tianguang being pressed in between Lan Haitian and Chen Mobai, their expressions changing drastically before they returned the way they had come.


    ¡°The show is nearly over, it¡¯s time to take True Person Yu away.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Lan Haitian, carrying Yu Tianguang, ascended toward the flying ship in mid-air, while Chen Mobai, observing this, employed his spiritual power to support the table with the paper and pen and followed them up.


    Yu Tianguang, now unable to mobilize his spiritual power, showed gratitude towards Chen Mobai upon seeing this.


    Before long, Lin Yin and the rest of the Sky-Mending Group who set up the large formation also entered the flying ship.


    However, Chen Mobai did not see Gongsun Jielu, a hint of inspiration fleetingly crossing his mind. Combining what Lan Haitian had said earlier, he felt he might have grasped the true purpose of this operation.


    It was at that moment that the flying ship started to glow with spiritual light, then turned around and headed towards the Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    The speed wasn¡¯t very fast, as if it was deliberately waiting for someone.


    But to Lan Haitian¡¯s disappointment, even after flying out of Red Sandstone City¡¯s airspace, he had not waited for that person.


    ¡°The one you want to capture isn¡¯t True Person Yu, is it? You just want to use True Person Yu to lure out the real target!¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Lan Haitian listened, slightly surprised, then nodded lightly.


    By that time, Yu Tianguang had already silently transcribed all the contents. Lan Haitian picked them up for a look and singled out the ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm¡±.


    ¡°This Cultivation Technique is only available up to the third layer of Gold Core in the Immortal Gate¡¯s library, yet True Person Yu¡¯s version can be practiced up to the ninth level of Golden Core. Where did it come from?¡±


    ¡°True Person Shi Qing taught it to me, saying she had perceived the continuation of this technique that directly points to Nascent Soul while cultivating with Biyu Wutong through Spirit Transformation.¡±


    ¡°She herself used it to clear all obstacles to the ninth level of Golden Core but has not yet achieved ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, so she only passed on to me the part concerning divine consciousness up to Golden Core Perfection.¡±


    ¡°Practiced within the range of Red Sandstone City¡¯s Spiritual Vein, this technique allows you to contemplate the Biyu Wutong at the Spiritual Vein Core. The improvement of divine consciousness with this contemplation becomes twice as effective. The closer you are to the Biyu Wutong, the faster the progress of divine consciousness, and even your thoughts become clearer and swifter.¡±


    ¡°I truly did not know that this was the Devour God Technique!¡±


    By the end of his confession, Yu Tianguang had grasped the truth, glaring at the transcription of the ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm¡± he had written down, wishing he could tear it apart right there.


    ¡°Did Vice Minister Gongsun go to capture Shi Qing?¡±


    Chen Mobai also realized, at that moment, that the Immortal Gate had long known that Shi Qing was the one practicing the Devour God Technique.

    The sudden and open arrest of Yu Tianguang this time and deliberately letting the people of the Cinnabarite Institute know when leaving was probably to draw out Shi Qing.


    ¡°The people of the Cinnabarite Institute must have reported our capture of True Person Yu to True Person Shi Qing. Logically, with such an incident occurring within her territory, she must come out to inquire after knowing about it.¡±


    ¡°According to our original plan, as long as True Person Shi Qing leaves the Biyu Wutong to intercept us, the Forbidden Array on this flying ship would be activated, severing her connection with the Biyu Wutong, and then the higher-ups would take action to suppress her.¡±


    ¡°But since she didn¡¯t come as planned, we¡¯ll have to initiate the alternative plan B!¡±


    By this time, Lan Haitian was no longer keeping secrets.

 Chapter 981 - Chapter 981 539 Chapter Master Huakai

    Chapter 981: 539 Chapter Master Huakai Chapter 981: 539 Chapter Master Huakai ¡°`


    ¡°What is Plan B?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    Lan Haitian smiled, not saying a word but instead walked to the edge of the airship and opened the shielded window¡¯s panel.


    Then, a brilliant azure spiritual light like the clear sky entered Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    The blue light surged like tidal waves, like an ocean, forming into the shadow of a gigantic shark which opened its gaping maw as if a rift into a dark void had torn through the heavens, abruptly descending.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s shocked and incredulous eyes, the symbol of Red Sandstone City, the towering Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree emitting steam and fog, was devoured whole, from top to bottom, by the immense phantom shark.


    ¡°Once the Narcissus Venerable¡¯s Beiming Domain is deployed, it can sever the flow of spiritual mechanisms within and without. In the past, our Daoist Academy¡¯s Spiritual Venerable used this to deal with the Changchun Ancestor of the Jumang Academy,¡± Lan Haitian explained as he gestured Lin Yin to stop the airship, turning towards Red Dawn Institution not far away.


    Chen Mobai followed him to the window of the airship, looking at the massive yawning jaw of the shark occupying half the sky, murmuring to himself:


    ¡°Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law, Enforcement Department Director, Sea Goddess¡­ I didn¡¯t expect her to take action!¡±


    Among the fourteen Nascent Souls of Xianmen, three were not in human form, and the one with the greatest background was this Narcissus Venerable.


    She was a disciple of the Spiritual Venerable, who presided over the vast Four Seas. After her Transformation, she entered the Kunpeng Daoist Institute to cultivate and quickly succeeded in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± by studying the Six Dominions Scripture.


    She was also the only Yuan Ying level Deputy Hall Master among the Three Great Halls of Xianmen.


    As Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yun¡¯e toiled away, waiting for the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, Narcissus had already directly become the first successor to the Three Great Hall Masters.


    Should any of the Three Great Hall Masters step down, she would be next in line to take over.


    The Sea Goddess was the title bestowed upon Narcissus when she first joined the Kunpeng Daoist Academy by the other students.


    In such a resource-scarce environment of Xianmen, as a disciple of the Spiritual Venerable, she was arguably the wealthiest among the fourteen Nascent Souls.


    Because the Spiritual Venerable had granted her clan a Sea Territory within Di Yuan Star as their fiefdom.


    It¡¯s said that there, an innumerable count of spiritual pearls and shellfish thrives, with the full pearls brimming with spiritual energy, rivaling even top-grade Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Once the Beiming Domain isolates the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, all we need to do is arrest Shi Qing,¡± said Lan Haitian, as a dark green sword light had already shot up from the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range, after the loss of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    It was Gongsun Jielu!


    Chen Mobai, having felt her power when she suppressed Yu Tianguang, recognized her at once.


    The sword light soared like a dragon, extending in the void with ease, instantly enveloping a lithe figure in a purple gown within it.


    Chen Mobai pushed his Void Spirit Eye to its limits and finally caught sight of Shi Qing, the unanointed monarch who had presided over Red Sandstone City for over a hundred years.


    She was an ordinary-looking woman, but her eyes shimmered with a strange iridescence. Her expression was stern, her snow-white hand holding a crimson Stone Flower.


    With each wave of the Stone Flower, a ring of torches blossomed as if they were shockwaves, sweeping away the encircling dark green sword light that Gongsun Jielu had sent from all directions.


    ¡°Shi Qing had already reached the Ninth Level of Golden Core decades ago, and with the aid of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and the Fire Vein of this city, she was in complete harmony with them. Although Vice Director Gongsun¡¯s cultivation level is extraordinary, ranking among the four great Sword Dao masters of Xianmen, facing Shi Qing who has the geographical advantage, the outcome is uncertain,¡± Yu Tianguang stated, coming over with a worried look on his face.


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly why the Narcissus Venerable personally took action,¡± said Lan Haitian, not the least bit worried. At that moment, a strand of blue light lit up atop the massive shark in the sky that had devoured the Biyu Wutong Tree, and a girl with white hair and eyebrows, as pure and white as jade, floated out.


    With a flick of her finger towards Shi Qing, a stream of water sharp as a laser pierced through Shi Qing¡¯s Spiritual Force Shield in an instant, penetrating into the Qi Sea of her Dantian.


    Is this the power of a Xianmen Nascent Soul? Chen Mobai marveled upon seeing the Narcissus Venerable suppress the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and then with a single move, overpower Shi Qing, who was at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core.


    Zhou Shengqing, who had used the Reverse Longevity Technique, was not nearly so fierce.


    ¡°Is this¡­ over?¡± Yu Tianguang, witnessing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes. He had never imagined that the Narcissus Venerable could subdue the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and still have a clone to subdue Shi Qing.


    ¡°Of course, the gap between Golden Core and Nascent Soul is just so,¡± Lan Haitian said, his face showing a rare pride.

    The Narcissus Venerable was a graduate of their Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and her easy victory in this battle demonstrated their institute¡¯s status as the number one of Xianmen¡¯s Daoist Academies.


    Even though during the eras of Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had unexpectedly taken the top seat, it was still their Kunpeng Daoist Institute that held the position as the foremost Daoist Academy in Xianmen.


    ¡°Now that Shi Qing has also been arrested, you can release me. If you wanted to use me to lure her out, why didn¡¯t you notify me first? Would I have disagreed?¡± Yu Tianguang started to complain, raising his still handcuffed hands in displeasure.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, True Person Yu, but you have, after all, practiced the Devour God Technique; even unconsciously, you need to be treated as a suspect,¡± Lan Haitian replied.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 982 - Chapter 982 Chapter 539 Master Huakai_2

    Chapter 982: Chapter 539 Master Huakai_2 Chapter 982: Chapter 539 Master Huakai_2 Lan Haitian felt a tinge of regret as he shook the bracelet connected to his wrist, for even now, he had yet to remove the restrictions placed upon Yu Tianguang.


    ¡°This has already proven that I¡¯ve been wronged. To treat me this way, isn¡¯t it a bit inappropriate!¡±


    When Yu Tianguang said this, there was a hint of emotion in his voice.


    Mainly because the extreme fright and joy of this night had pushed this seasoned Golden Core Master to a point where he could scarcely endure.


    Seeing that Lan Haitian still refused to release him, Yu Tianguang¡¯s eyes flashed with anger, turning toward Chen Mobai.


    ¡°True Person Yu, as long as you have been wronged, once we are at Wangwu Cave Heaven, the Daoist Academy will naturally help you clear your name.¡±


    Chen Mobai preemptively interrupted Yu Tianguang¡¯s words, but at that moment, he felt something odd.


    Yu Tianguang¡¯s emotions were inexplicably becoming overexcited.


    But just then, the previously enraged Yu Tianguang suddenly became calm. With his head bowed, he offered a sinister smile and made a comment that caused Lan Haitian and Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils to constrict.


    [¡°Little devils of Immortal Gate, you are unexpectedly cautious!¡±]


    Sizzle sizzle sizzle!


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian acted simultaneously, transforming Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Yin Yang Yuan Magnet Force into a stream of azure and a stream of gray, pressing down on Yu Tianguang¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and Dantian Qi Sea at the same time!


    A silver torch appeared out of nowhere in front of Yu Tianguang, as if connected to a mysterious void. A vague figure holding a colorful treasure tree emerged within the torch.


    With a swing of the treasure tree in his hand, he deflected the attack from Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian, protecting Yu Tianguang.


    If not for the fact that both Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian had perfect control over their lightning and Yuan Magnet Force, they might have been turned into a shower of fragments by the flying boat in that moment.


    ¡°Divine Control Pavilion Master!¡±


    Recognizing such an iconic entrance, Lan Haitian retracted the Yuan Magnet Force and his expression turned grave.


    He raised his hand and fully triggered the power of the bracelet on his wrist. A swath of pitch-black luminescence flared up, swiftly spreading toward Yu Tianguang at the far end.


    The binding artifacts of the Sky-Mending Group always had a safeguard, permitted to be used in extreme measures when the situation was unfavorable.


    But the Divine Control Pavilion Master had already reached through the void, extending his right hand and that colorful treasure tree and lightly brushed over Yu Tianguang¡¯s hands.


    Crack!


    The Third Rank Superior Grade handcuffs binding Yu Tianguang shattered in an instant, breaking into pieces and scattering on the ground.


    [¡°I¡¯ve nurtured this God Seed for quite a long time; it¡¯s truly a pity to use it like this.¡±]


    After freeing himself from the shackles, Yu Tianguang slowly raised his head, but his tone and expression had completely changed.


    A silver flame symbol blazed on his forehead, and his eyes revealed a never-before-seen malevolence.


    But amidst the malevolence, there was struggle, anger, pain, fear, and various other emotions.


    ¡°Who are you¡­ how is this possible¡­ I am a disciple of Immortal Gate¡­ I can¡¯t be your God Seed¡­ act quickly¡­ kill me¡­¡±


    By the end of his plea, Yu Tianguang had already grabbed his own throat, intending to end his life while asking Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian to take action.


    Lan Haitian didn¡¯t hesitate at all and directly retrieved a magic artifact from his Domain. It was a stone with a mix of silver and black, vaguely divided into Yin and Yang.


    It was the Star Concentrating Stone he originally obtained in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which Lan Haitian had crafted into his Lifespan Artifact after his Core Formation.


    He opened his right hand slightly, and the Star Concentrating Stone burst forth with pitch-black radiance, heavily slamming into Yu Tianguang, who was struggling against the Divine Control Pavilion Master for control of his body.


    The hilt of the Purple Electric Sword dropped from the Domain; Chen Mobai reached out hesitantly, wondering whether to draw the sword, when he saw Lan Haitian catch the rebounding Star Concentrating Stone with both hands and was sent flying back, impacting the aft cabin wall of the flying boat.


    After flinging Lan Haitian away, another phantom flew out of the true body of the Divine Control Pavilion Master who stood behind the torch.


    This phantom, holding the colorful treasure tree, stepped out of the torch, descended upon the territory of Immortal Gate, and then directly merged into Yu Tianguang¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    ¡°It¡¯s been perhaps three hundred years since I last came here.¡±


    After completely occupying Yu Tianguang¡¯s body, Shenyu Xuanzhu raised his palm to extinguish the torch and breathed in the fresh air of Di Yuan Star with a hint of intoxication.


    Boom!


    What met him head-on was a column of azure lightning.


    The Shenyu Xuanzhu, who had just refined the God Seed, waved the rainbow-colored treasure tree in his hand in surprise. However, the Magic Artifact seemed to awaken its own will, trembling as it broke free from his grasp. It then burst through the airship¡¯s window and headed straight for Shi Qing at the peak of Danxia Mountain.


    With a snap, Chen Mobai¡¯s Yi Wood Divine Thunder hit Shenyu Xuanzhu¡¯s face without any resistance.


    Taken off guard, Shenyu Xuanzhu was blasted away, just like Lan Haitian a moment ago.


    With a thunderous crash, the airship could no longer hold together and disintegrated completely.


    Fortunately, those on board were Foundation Establishment Practitioners, all capable of self-preservation. Chen Mobai flung out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, using the Magic Artifact to shield them from the aftermath and safely bringing them to ground.


    A spiritual light flared, landing beside Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Lan Haitian floated beside Chen Mobai, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and expressed gratitude to the latter for protecting the Sky-Mending Group aboard the airship.


    ¡°I was mainly saving Qing Nu.¡±


    Chen Mobai maintained his persona, but Lan Haitian took it as pride and nodded his head in acknowledgment.


    ¡°Tch, and to think I nurtured you for three hundred years!¡±


    At that moment, Shenyu Xuanzhu, who had been blasted away by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, halted his momentum. Annoyed, he said, raising his slightly charred face and looking toward Shi Qing, who was now wielding immense power with the rainbow-colored treasure tree, fiercely battling with Narcissus and Gongsun Jielu at Danxia¡¯s summit.


    Shenyu Xuanzhu closed his eyes, feeling Yu Tianguang¡¯s Spiritual Power, then opened them, his whole body erupting into torrents of spiritual flames, transforming into a crimson fireball and flying towards the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range.


    ¡°Stop him, the Shenyu Xuanzhu after catalyzing the God Seed and borrowing a body is at his weakest because he can only use the power of Yu Tianguang.¡±


    As Lan Haitian spoke, he held the Star Concentrating Stone in the palm of his hand. With flickers of dark Yuan Magnetic Force, iron needles as thick as fingers and as long as half an arm with sharp ends emerged from the Void out of nowhere, bristling with a fierce cold light and intercepting the path of Shenyu Xuanzhu.


    The golden-red flames, pushed to the extreme by the Scorching Heaven Cultivation technique, allowed Shenyu Xuanzhu, who surpassed the Gold Core Realm, to effortlessly melt the iron needles into molten metal, equivalent to the peak of Gold Core existence.


    The Yi Wood Divine Thunder conjured by Chen Mobai was also blocked by the Scorching Heaven Light Shield.


    Amidst his hearty laughter, Shenyu Xuanzhu breezed through the mountain of needles and the sea of thunder, easily landing in the midst of the battle at Danxia¡¯s tallest peak.


    The white-haired and white-browed Narcissus, upon seeing Yu Tianguang, roughly understood the situation. She frowned slightly and tilted her head to examine the rainbow-colored treasure tree in Shi Qing¡¯s hands, her face revealing a moment of realization.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s you. Three hundred years ago, you were shattered by the Kaiyuan Hall Master, your Taoist Body in tatters and your divine spirit scattered. I had thought you were already dead.¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian also arrived there, just in time to hear these words.


    Who was the Narcissus talking about?


    Chen Mobai glanced at Lan Haitian beside him, who silently transmitted four words.


    Master Huakai!


    This name Chen Mobai had heard of¨Cthe Master Huakai was one of the three Vice Sect Hierarchs of the Ascension Sect, as renowned as Shenyu Xuanzhu and the Hall Master of the Shrine of Life and Death.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Shi Qing was her reincarnated form!


    ¡°Can Narcissus fight against both of them?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Lan Haitian with some anxiety, who shook his head, showing disbelief, yet he had a face full of confidence and certainty.


    ¡°The Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s Lifespan Artifact is linked with the Heavenly Curtain. As soon as Shenyu Xuanzhu breaks into Di Yuan Star, the Heavenly Curtain will sense it.¡±


    ¡°Once the Heavenly Curtain senses it, it means that the Leading Star Ancestor knows as well.¡±

 Chapter 983 - Chapter 983 540

    Chapter 983: 540 Chapter 983: 540 ¡°When can Leading Star Ancestor arrive?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, but Lan Haitian, who usually had an answer for everything, hesitated this time.


    ¡°The Five Peaks Immortal Mountains are half an Immortal Sect Domain away from here, which is quite a distance. The Ancestor might need some time.¡±


    When Leading Star Ancestor last made a move, Lan Haitian had not yet been born, so he knew nothing about the Ancestor¡¯s speed.


    Moreover, within the Immortal Sect, details about the Huashen Ancestor¡¯s strength had always been the highest-level secret. Even someone with Lan Haitian¡¯s status had never accessed any related information.


    ¡°So, as it stands, we must rely on Master Narcissus.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished this sentence, he glanced at the battle situation at the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range. His innate combat instinct made him start to analyze the situation coolly and involuntarily.


    On their side, there were four people: Master Narcissus, Gongsun Jielu, Lan Haitian, and himself.


    On the opposite side were two evil powerhouses from the Ascension Sect; whether it was Shenyu Xuanzhu or Master Huakai, if they were to enter the fray in their peak true forms, both were no weaker than Master Narcissus.


    Fortunately, Master Huakai hasn¡¯t re-cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm after being reincarnated through dissolution, likely to avoid drawing the attention of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect.


    And Shenyu Xuanzhu just catalyzed a God Seed and took over Yu Tianguang¡¯s body to enter the battle.


    The strength either of them could exhibit wouldn¡¯t be too off the charts.


    As long as Master Narcissus could perform normally¡­


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, Master Huakai suddenly swung the colorful treasure tree in her hand towards the massive shark phantom in the sky.


    The treasure tree glittered like a rainbow and in an instant traced an arc of light, plunging straight into the Beiming Domain.


    Amidst the booming sounds!


    Chen Mobai felt the entire Danxia Mountain Range begin to shake, and Master Narcissus also frowned slightly, saying to the three of them, ¡°While I¡¯m suppressing the Biyu Wutong Tree, the Spirit Veins of Red Sandstone City are also being influenced by this Spirit Tree, resisting and trying to break free from my Beiming Domain.¡±


    At this moment, Master Huakai was continuously swinging the colorful treasure tree in her hand, linking the vast Spirit Veins of Red Sandstone City with beams of rainbow light in a combined assault with the Biyu Wutong Tree from both inside and out.


    The massive shark phantom actually revealed a rift.


    Through the rift, one could clearly see the Biyu Wutong Tree with bark as green as jade and leaves as fine as flowers, continuously emitting clouds and fog, drawing in a vast Spiritual Machine, trying to break through the Beiming Domain trapping it.


    ¡°Without this Biyu Wutong and the Spirit Veins of Danxia pinning me down, I could take down these two alone,¡± Master Narcissus couldn¡¯t help but spit out a breath, then her body radiated vast and profound Spiritual Power, transforming into a deep blue Spiritual Light that surged into the large shark phantom in the sky, reinforcing the power of the Beiming Domain.


    ¡°Master, is there anything we can help you with?¡±


    ¡°Will Leading Star Ancestor come?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian asked different questions.


    Master Narcissus: ¡°Leading Star Uncle is a homebody who dislikes going out. He doesn¡¯t consider the situation here a big deal and might not intervene.¡±


    This statement left Chen Mobai and the others exchanging glances.


    ¡°What should we do?¡±


    Across from them were two Vice Sect Hierarchs of the Ascension Sect, both of Nascent Soul Level.


    ¡°I¡¯ll use the Six Imperial Swords Sha Formation to hold one of them at bay,¡± said Gongsun Jielu when the situation got to this point. She threw off her green suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of her dress shirt, revealing six Sword Killing Sword Marks on her arms and hands.


    The Sword Sha was a mysterious blue, snakelike, and dragonlike.


    The dragon¡¯s head was on the left hand, the tail on the right hand, and its body passed through her upper back. Although the white dress shirt covered it, once the Sword Sha marks lit up, Chen Mobai could still see them clearly.


    ¡°Why are you all so worried? I have a sky-reaching method to suppress the cultists,¡± Master Narcissus said, showing no concern. As the Righteous Law Hall Master and one of the top three in combat experience among the fourteen Nascent Souls of the Immortal Sect, she was well-versed in magical duels.


    As she spoke, she pulled out a white jade bracelet, emitting an aura so peculiar that even Chen Mobai felt uncomfortable.


    ¡°The three of you, listen up¡­¡± Master Narcissus transmitted her voice into the minds of Chen Mobai and the others, sharing her full strategy in the span of a mere thought.


    ¡°Can it be done?¡±


    After revealing her battle plans, Master Narcissus looked toward Master Huakai, who was continuously swinging the colorful treasure tree in the half-sky, and Shenyu Xuanzhu, standing beside her resolutely.


    Gongsun Jielu: ¡°We will do our best.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°Even at the cost of my life, I will delay her.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai merely nodded without speaking.


    Master Narcissus didn¡¯t care about his silence. After all, although Chen Mobai was regarded as having the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, he had just achieved Core Formation, and his combat power was certainly the lowest of the three.


    ¡°Before I devour Shenyu Xuanzhu, make sure you aren¡¯t eaten by Master Huakai first,¡± Master Narcissus said, her mouth wide open, revealing two canine teeth, and showing to the two from the Ascension Sect in the sky an instinctively cruel smile.


    ¡°If possible, could you spare Yu Tianguang¡¯s life?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated but ultimately followed his conscience and requested this from Master Narcissus.

 Chapter 984 - Chapter 984 Chapter 540 Reversing Qiankun_2

    Chapter 984: Chapter 540: Reversing Qiankun_2 Chapter 984: Chapter 540: Reversing Qiankun_2 The Narcissus simply gave him a strange glance and did not respond. She tightly closed her eyes and executed a powerful technique of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    ¡°Close Eyes for Night!¡±


    In that instant, darkness fell upon the sky!


    In mid-air, as the Master Huakai and the Shenyu Xuanzhu who were causing rifts in the sharks¡¯ shadows that emerged from Beiming Domain by leveraging the power of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, witnessed this turn of events, their attention was naturally drawn.


    ¡°Zulong Divine Eye Technique!¡±


    The Ancient Evil Path Union had been competing with the Immortal Gate for thousands of years, and they were familiar with the significant techniques of both sides. Seeing the Narcissus close her eyes turning day into night, they recalled this top-tier Art of Spiritual Eyes from the Immortal Gate.


    But what use would it be in this current situation?


    The Shenyu Xuanzhu was a contemplative person. Seeing this, he began to ponder what exactly the Immortal Gate side was planning to do. He didn¡¯t believe that with the Narcissus¡¯s realm, she would engage in pointless actions.


    ¡°In the darkness, would the power of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore weaken?¡±


    The Shenyu Xuanzhu asked Master Huakai this, who was beside him. She shook her head indifferently, uninterested in such matters. She simply shook the seven-colored treasure tree she was holding, driving this magic artifact, which was the culmination of all her power in her past life, aiming to coax the Azure Jadeite Sycamore through the Domain to complete her thorough rebirth!


    The Azure Jadeite Sycamore in Red Sandstone City was a Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Plant. Under the meticulous care of Master Huakai, it had already shown signs of evolving into a fifth-order Spirit Plant.


    According to her plan, all she needed to do was wait for her reincarnated body to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Then she could use the Forbidden Technique of the Flower Bloom Courtyard to deplete the Spirit Vein of Red Sandstone City completely, using all the Spirit Plant¡¯s power to produce a fifth-order, nine-colored Immortal Flower!


    This flower would contain all the essence of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore from over four thousand years. Furthermore, under the Forbidden Technique of the Flower Bloom Courtyard, it would filter out impure consciousness such as the vastness of the earth and the changes of mountains and rivers, leaving only the most pure and extreme vitality and Elemental Energy.


    Once ingested by Master Huakai, she would not only instantaneously merge the powers of her past life and present life, reaching the Nascent Soul Peak realm, but could also comprehend the profound mystery of a Spirit Plant¡¯s ascension to the fifth order through the experience.


    With her profound cultivation, perhaps she could seize this opportunity to transform from Nascent Soul to Divine Spirit, setting foot at the peak of cultivation within the Immortal Gate with this reincarnated body of Shi Qing!


    Unfortunately, even the best disguise was eventually exposed.


    Shi Qing could roughly guess when her cover was blown. If only she had known, she would have intervened to stop that man, even if it meant the death of the cultivators with Dark and Wind Spiritual Roots at the hands of the Immortal Gate, rather than startling the enemy into awareness.


    Regretting this, Shi Qing couldn¡¯t help but feel bitter resentment.


    When Kong Feichen took Yang Jing away, as the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Ascension Sect, she must have been aware of it.


    The Shenyu Xuanzhu had also communicated with her in advance before sending people.


    As the members of the Sky-Mending Group, such as Lan Haitian, arrived, she had been covertly monitoring the situation.


    In her view, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing combined were less important than a single fingertip of hers. It didn¡¯t matter whether their mission was successful or failed.


    The key was to avoid exposing her true identity.


    However¡­


    Master Huakai thought of that person who made the final move to help Kong Feichen escape with Yang Jing, frowning deeply.


    But at this stage in the game, the most important thing was to forcibly catalyze the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree before the experts of the Immortal Gate arrived.


    Even if she was unable to produce a fifth-order nine-colored Immortal Flower, she had to leave Di Yuan Star before the arrival of the Divinity Transformation.


    With this thought in mind, Master Huakai hesitated no longer, and pushed the power of the seven-colored treasure tree in her hands to the limit.


    A brilliant splendor, never seen before, shone from her hands¨Cit was as if she summoned a rainbow bridge from both ends of the sky, with one end in her hands and the other ending within the huge shark¡¯s head that loomed faintly in the darkness.


    This strike seemed to trigger a qualitative change!


    With a loud bang!


    The Beiming Domain could no longer sustain itself. The massive shark began to split from the head, spreading to the sides, and the top of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore first emerged through the crevices¡­


    ¡°By uniting with the Forbidden Technique and the Azure Jadeite Sycamore, I can harness the power of this Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Plant. The entire Spirit Vein of Red Sandstone City can be at my disposal, and even suppressing the Narcissus will be within reach!¡±


    Seeing the Azure Jadeite Sycamore break free from the Beiming Domain, Master Huakai spoke confidently. She waved the seven-colored treasure tree and motioned for the Shenyu Xuanzhu to protect her as they flew towards the Sycamore Tree.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take action!¡±


    But at this moment, the Narcissus Superior suddenly spoke, her jade-white bracelet suddenly turned pitch black, a terrifying force capable of reversing Yin and Yang spread out.


    Caught off guard by both Shenyu Xuanzhu and Master Huakai, this black deluge spread, submerging the skies above Danxia Mountain Range, enveloping all of them within.


    Chen Mobai only felt a flash of darkness and light before his eyes, and the sky had cleared up once again.


    However, looking down, he saw the surging sea below, dotted with scattered islets, like stars.


    This was within the Beiming Domain!


    They had been transported inside by the Narcissus Superior.


    Besides them, there was another who had been transported in, and that was Master Huakai!


    Her face full of astonishment, she waved the multicolored treasure tree in her hand, attempting to call upon the power of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore to break the barrier of the domain, but her current realm was only at the Ninth Level of Golden Core, and the difficulty of breaking the domain from the inside was many times greater than from the outside.


    ¡°Damn beast, I underestimated her!¡±


    Immediately, Master Huakai also realized she had been fooled by the Narcissus Superior and lost her composure, cursing out loud.


    Had she merged with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore, she was confident she could have overpowered the Narcissus.


    But at the critical moment, the Narcissus used the magic artifact to reverse the Beiming Domain, released the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and trapped her inside.


    Moreover, she separated Shenyu Xuanzhu from her.


    This way, outside the Beiming Domain, the Narcissus would be alone facing the rampaging Azure Jadeite Sycamore and Shenyu Xuanzhu.


    But without Master Huakai¡¯s control, the Azure Jadeite Sycamore posed little threat to the Narcissus, and since Shenyu Xuanzhu was currently present through a borrowed body, he probably wouldn¡¯t last many moves against the true Nascent Soul Superior, the Narcissus.


    ¡°The Spirit Plant can be made to destroy the Spirit Vein of Danxia City, causing a massive explosion that could break through Beiming Domain from the outside.¡±


    However, Master Huakai, being a seasoned cultist with rich experience in magic duels, immediately moved to wield the multicolored treasure tree to cast a forbidden technique, but a dark green sword light, like a dragon, slashed towards her head in an instant.


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s hands were marked with dark sword scars like ink dragons swelling, opening their dragon maws wide, biting towards Master Huakai¡¯s head.


    But the multicolored treasure tree flickered and blocked the dark green sword light.


    Hum hum hum!


    Sss sss sss!


    Following Gongsun Jielu, Lan Haitian and Chen Mobai also made their move simultaneously.


    Facing a heretical cult demon, naturally they would join forces, striking decisively and ruthlessly!


    But at this time, Master Huakai showed the essence of her higher realm. She lifted the Lifespan Artifact Stone Flower she had refined in this world, its blossoming flame brilliance like a Red Lotus, extinguishing the Flying Needles and lightning coming at her from all directions.


    Only Gongsun Jielu¡¯s dark green Sword Sha managed to penetrate the barrier of the Stone Flower Red Lotus and slash towards Master Huakai.


    However, facing the multicolored treasure tree, the Sword Sha softened and became powerless, dissipating into smoke.


    But Chen Mobai saw this scene and his eyes lit up.


    All they needed to do was delay Master Huakai here, and the Narcissus Superior outside would guarantee that within at most five minutes, she could suppress Shenyu Xuanzhu who had arrived through a borrowed body!


    ¡°You little devils, since you seek death yourself, you can¡¯t blame me!¡±

    Clearly, Master Huakai had also thought of this, and she had to invoke the power of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore to possibly break through the domain and escape Di Yuan Star.


    With this thought, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she took the multicolored treasure tree in her hands and plunged it fiercely into her own chest.


    In an instant, the roots of the treasure tree turned bright red.


    Drops of Essence Blood were drawn, spreading along the withered branches, throughout the tree.


    The originally multicolored radiance gradually began to shine with an eighth color!

 Chapter 985 - Chapter 985 Chapter 541 Aurora Starfall Talisman

    Chapter 985: Chapter 541: Aurora Starfall Talisman Chapter 985: Chapter 541: Aurora Starfall Talisman The eighth color lit up, and instantly merged and devoured the other seven colors, then transformed into a dim and profound shade of gray-green that spread into the sky and in all directions.


    Before the shocked gazes of Chen Mobai and the others, the precious tree that had been planted in the Master Huakai¡¯s heart suddenly seemed to have gone through hundreds of years of time, abruptly growing into a large tree with withered branches yet full of vividly colored flowers.


    After the tree expanded, its roots, like tentacles, entwined and enveloped Master Huakai¡¯s closed-eyed body, layer by layer covering and protecting it.


    Then, a blue flower fell from the tree amidst a sky full of Spiritual Light, transforming into a blue-skinned Master Huakai appearing before the three of them, including Chen Mobai.


    But that wasn¡¯t all; at the same time, three more flowers of different colors fell.


    Afterward, four Master Huakais with the same countenance and stature, but different skin colors, stood in four directions around the tree.


    ¡°Being able to use this move to bestow death upon you is indeed your great fortune across three lives,¡± said all four Master Huakais at once. Then, aside from the first blue-skinned one, the other three Master Huakais¨Cyellow, orange, and blue¨Cflashed with sinister Spiritual Light and charged toward Chen Mobai and the group.


    Amidst the clanging of metal,


    Gongsun Jielu was the first to meet the charge, with her Sword Sha now fully bursting forth.


    Dark sword marks swirling around, her right hand rejuvenated, transformed into a pitch-black evil dragon. With a mighty charge, its mouth opened wide to a 180-degree angle, biting and shattering the head of the yellow-skinned Master Huakai.


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s eyes gleamed as she wielded her Art of the Spirit Eyes to pierce through the vision of the Master Huakai protected by the roots, cocooned within the tree.


    With her right hand formed like a sword, her Sword Sha completely revived, seeming as if half her body had turned into a pitch-black evil dragon. She bypassed the yellow-skinned Master Huakai and charged straight for the tree.


    Among the whooshing sounds, strands of withered yellow vines materialized out of nowhere in mid-air, forming a net in the sky that blocked the pitch-black dragon that was Gongsun Jielu.


    ¡°Such trivial obstacles¡­¡±


    Gongsun Jielu slashed swiftly with her hand, her dark Sword Light flashing like a dragon, cleaving the air like a dark crescent moon, and slicing the myriad vines in two.


    After cutting through the vines, the Sword Light continued its swift rush towards the tree.


    But at that moment, Gongsun Jielu felt a sudden numbness in her right hand. Frowning, she ignored it and, turning into a dragon, charged right up to the tree.


    Following that, a dark yellow, withered light appeared on the right side of Gongsun Jielu¡¯s body. A tender sprout burst from her shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, blossomed into a small yellow flower.


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s eyes opened wide, her left hand rose, and she directly chopped off her right shoulder, where the small yellow flower with a piece of flesh had grown.


    Among the splattering blood, the small yellow flower suddenly transformed into the head of the yellow Master Huakai that she had devoured with her Sword Sha.


    The yellow Master Huakai let out a sinister laugh, opened her mouth, and from it a petal flew towards Gongsun Jielu.


    Meanwhile, not far away, the headless corpse whose head had been shattered by the Sword Sha flew over. Its arms transformed into vine-like whips, each bearing sharp barbs that shone with a cold light, sweeping towards Gongsun Jielu¡¯s back.


    Amidst the clashing sounds!


    Sword-like dark lights suddenly pierced from Gongsun Jielu¡¯s back, forming wing-like sword shields in an instant, blocking the vine whips.


    The massive impact drove her even closer to the head¡¯s flying petals.


    However, this was her intention. With the momentum of the impact, Gongsun Jielu spread her right hand, and a cold, sinister sword tip of intermingled shades of black and gray burst from her palm. As it pierced through the flying petal, it also penetrated the forehead of the freshly reformed head.


    With a loud bang!


    The Master Huakai planning to regenerate was shocked to find a terrifying Sword Intent flooding into the flower clone¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion; it then burst into a flurry of petals.


    After destroying the head, the Six Imperial Swords Sha Formation in Gongsun Jielu¡¯s palm suddenly retracted and disappeared, traveling up her arm to the dark sword wings on her back.


    Then, with a slight unfurling of her sword wings, she also ground the headless flower clone attempting to escape behind her into bits.


    ¡°She¡¯s using this cloning technique to hold us off while her real consciousness connects with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree in Red Sandstone City. We can¡¯t give her the time!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Determined to end the battle swiftly, Gongsun Jielu, after dealing with her flower clone, spared not a glance for Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian. She immediately turned back into a dragon, roaring as she swept towards the true body of Master Huakai at the base of the tree.


    In that moment, Gongsun Jielu had evolved her Six Imperial Swords Sha Formation into its most potent Sword Array.


    Six different black evil dragons emerged from her body. In mid-air, they opened their jaws in unison to roar, with six streams of pure Sword Light emerging from their mouths. With the palm of Gongsun Jielu¡¯s right hand as the center, it gathered into a deep night Sword Intent, as if it could drown all the light in the world.


    With a thunderous roar!


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s Six Imperial Swords Sha Formation struck the tree. The withered branches began to shake uncontrollably and split open with a deep crack, through which one could faintly see the true body of Master Huakai inside, and even trickles of blood seeping out through the crevice.

 Chapter 986 - Chapter 986 Chapter 541 Aurora Starfall Talisman_2

    Chapter 986: Chapter 541 Aurora Starfall Talisman_2 Chapter 986: Chapter 541 Aurora Starfall Talisman_2 Clearly, the true body of Master Huakai, who was protected in the deepest place, had been injured!


    Seeing this scene, Gongsun Jielu felt a surge of excitement and was about to deploy his Swords Slaughter Formation again when a paralyzing sensation suddenly flooded his body.


    He widened his eyes in disbelief and looked down.


    Tender shoots had, unbeknownst to him, sprouted all over his body, followed by the blooming of little yellow flowers.


    Each little yellow flower transformed into the face of Master Huakai, with a cold expression. In an instant, they fully blossomed, starting from the back of his right hand and quickly engulfing Gongsun Jielu¡¯s entire body.


    A yellow flower cocoon then emerged in mid-air.


    A withered branch extended from the treasure tree above, burrowing into the cocoon, and like a blood-drawing tube, it extracted strands of vivid red from inside the cocoon, injecting them into Master Huakai¡¯s body deep within the treasure tree.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t good, this guy has actually been tricked.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw Gongsun Jielu sealed in the flower cocoon, he couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly; their mission was just to hold off Master Huakai.


    Therefore, facing the flower clones rushing towards him, he simply activated the full defense capabilities of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. Under the guidance of his Divine Sense, the golden Mysterious Yang Divine Light blocked the water swords, water knives, water crossbows, and other such techniques coming from all directions.


    The flower clones that Master Huakai had dispatched were obviously well considered.


    The blue-skinned flower clone that targeted Chen Mobai was able to manipulate water attribute spiritual power.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the fact that the vast ocean environment of the Beiming Domain was still under the control of Narcissus, preventing Master Huakai from borrowing even a trace of the water elemental energy, perhaps Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t have been able to respond so easily with just the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    By comparison, Lan Haitian¡¯s approach was somewhere between Chen Mobai and Gongsun Jielu, advancing step by step towards the treasure tree while maintaining a strong defense.


    Loud, explosive ¡®bangs¡¯ rang out not far away.


    The orange flower clone seemed to be manipulating Earth-Fire Duality Attribute elemental energy. Every petal that flew out was like a Divine Thunder Bomb, repelled by the magnetic field, and when they hit the ocean¡¯s surface, they triggered huge tidal shockwaves.


    Lan Haitian was using his Star Concentrating Stone, and he had already invoked the Yin Yang Yuan Magnetism force of the Liu Yu Scripture.


    Streams of starlight transformed into a magnetic field, merging with his domain to form an impenetrable realm, blocking the attacks of the orange Master Huakai outside, and he moved slowly but firmly towards the treasure tree.


    ¡°How can this guy turn his domain into a realm at such a level? Is it the characteristics of the Liu Yu Scripture, or is it because he opened his domain during Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised by the way Lan Haitian countered the orange-skinned Master Huakai clone.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Deputy Commander Gongsun is now in crisis. I will deploy a Fourth Order Starfall Aurora Talisman, but this talisman will be aimed at the true body of Master Huakai inside the treasure tree. By then, please assist in rescuing Deputy Commander Gongsun.¡±


    The voice transmission from Lan Haitian suddenly resonated in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. Both of them had witnessed Gongsun Jielu¡¯s condition, and as a member of the Immortal Gate, naturally, if they could save him, they would.


    ¡°Leave it to me!¡±


    Chen Mobai, still a principled disciple of the Immortal Gate at heart, did not hesitate upon hearing this and reached into the void to grasp, and a long sword artifact, radiant with purple light, dropped out of thin air accompanied by sizzling sounds, and a surge of Lingxiao Sword Intent exploded from him as the center!


    ¡°This is¡­ Unity of Man and Sword, Clear Heart of Sword!¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s eyes widened at this sight.


    The Fourth Grade Superior Purple Electric Sword had completely submitted to the control of Chen Mobai who had just achieved Core Formation?


    His swordsmanship talent was indeed rare in the world.


    Among those of the same realm, only Ancestor Baiguang could be mentioned in the same breath.


    He truly possessed the Qualification of Deification!


    Lan Haitian, who had been quite worried, felt his confidence surge after witnessing the aura unleashed by Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword.


    He didn¡¯t hesitate any longer, bringing out the Aurora Starfall Talisman he had specially requested for this mission!


    A Fourth Order Talisman, each requiring registration and record-keeping within the Immortal Gate.


    And the Sky-Mending Group, due to the special nature of their mission, could apply for Fourth Order talismans specifically for combat, powerful enough to reduce half of Danxia City to ruins.


    Lan Haitian extracted a talisman from his domain, with black paper as the base, silver threads and patterns, the length of a small forearm, and the width of five fingers.


    The moment spiritual power was injected, three lines of password locks suddenly flashed on the talisman paper.


    ¡°Spiritual Power Verification Passed!¡±


    ¡°Divine Sense Verification Passed!¡±


    ¡°Please Enter the Activation Password!¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s right eye brightened, and as he entered the password, the blocks were unlocked one by one!


    After all three layers of passwords on the talisman were verified, the fourth-order talisman instantly transformed into a pale silver-blue light curtain that spanned across the skies and the ocean of the Beiming Domain.


    In an instant, the light curtain condensed into a brilliant trail of starlight, as if a piece of the starry sky had fallen, heavily landing on the treasure tree.


    It seemed that the treasure tree sensed the danger. Dozens of blossoms on its withered branches burst open at that moment, turning into a sea of flowers in an attempt to catch the descending aurora starfall!


    The two fourth-order forces collided, and the sea of flowers exploded with great force.


    The aurora starfall smashed onto the treasure tree!


    Amidst the crackling sounds,


    the withered branches of the treasure tree snapped one after another, breaking from the middle, revealing the true body of Flower Bloom Courtyard¡¯s master hidden deep within.


    At this life and death juncture, she could only open her eyes, filled with an extremely cold glint. Suddenly, a void opened in the palm of her hand, and one could vaguely see the landscape of the Danxia Mountain Range beyond the domain.


    After being summoned by her, a branch as thick as an arm violently passed through the spatial rift and extended inside, colliding with the aurora starfall plummeting from the sky.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai had already cut off the connection between the chrysalis and the treasure tree before this.


    He wanted to uncover the sealed treasure, but remembering the scene of Gongsun Jielu covered in daffodils, he stopped himself from contacting the daffodils to avoid meeting the same fate.


    Boom!


    At that moment, the two earth-shattering forces collided and burst forth fully, and Chen Mobai immediately activated the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to form a hemispherical shield, protecting both himself and the chrysalis.


    A familiar figure was sent flying back.


    It was Lan Haitian, who appeared to have severely damaged his vital energy while activating the fourth-order talisman, looking as pale as golden paper and extremely weak.


    Chen Mobai immediately reached out to pull him inside the protection of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    ¡°Just hold on for half a minute more, Shenyu Xuanzhu is down to his last breath!¡±


    The words of the Narcissus sage suddenly rang in their ears, and at this moment, the master of Flower Bloom Courtyard also stood up, drenched in blood, from the cracks at the base of the treasure tree.


    She had briefly activated some of her past life¡¯s power, thinking that taking down three Gold Cores would be as easy as reaching out her hand.


    But, to her surprise, she had been breached in her defenses by Gongsun Jielu¡¯s Sword Sha and Lan Haitian¡¯s fourth-order talisman one after another. If it weren¡¯t for the critical moment when she called upon Biyu Wutong, she might have been severely injured if not killed under the aurora starfall.


    However, she had managed to hold on!


    Feeling the spatial rift growing larger and her connection to the Biyu Wutong in the Danxia Mountain Range getting closer, a look of joy couldn¡¯t help but emerge on the corners of her mouth.


    If only she could merge with the Biyu Wutong, even facing the Narcissus sage, she would have the strength to fight.


    ¡°I hope Shenyu Xuanzhu can use that transformation to buy me another half a minute!¡±


    After communicating with the Biyu Wutong, the master of Flower Bloom Courtyard intended to first blow up the fire vein of Danxia Mountain, which would completely break through the Beiming Domain.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And once the fire vein of Danxia Mountain was blasted open, the spiritual energy supplied to this blessed earth city would gradually weaken, leading to a falling in the grade of the spirit vein, and even possibly initiating tectonic shifts and causing a major earthquake!


    Even the Biyu Wutong would degrade in grade over a long period due to insufficient spiritual energy.


    But for the master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, that was no longer important.


    Because once she got out, she would immediately perform a forbidden technique, exploiting the explosive release of spiritual energy from the blasted spirit vein to forcibly catalyze the progression of the Biyu Wutong.


    Afterward, the entire Spirit Vein of Danxia City along with this fourth grade superior spirit plant would transform into a rank-5 nine-colored immortal flower, ready for her to harvest!

 Chapter 987 - Chapter 987 542

    Chapter 987: 542 Chapter 987: 542 ¡°Just one more step!¡±


    As Master Huakai was thinking this, the Beiming Domain suddenly started to shake.


    The void crack she had just barely connected to through the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree was also starting to close suddenly.


    ¡°Damn, that beast still has strength left!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Master Huakai¡¯s complexion changed drastically, and she was about to use a forbidden technique to control the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and blast open the fire veins of Danxia Mountain.


    But the crack in the Beiming Domain that she had managed to open was quickly closed under the overwhelming spiritual power of the Narcissus.


    ¡°[I have severed Master Huakai¡¯s link to the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree again, and the time it might take to deal with the Divine Control Pavilion Master could be extended by another minute. Can you hold on?]¡±


    The words of Narcissus rang in the ears of Chen Mobai and the others. But by this point, no matter if they were able to hold on or not, they had no choice but to!


    ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡±


    While Lan Haitian was speaking, he also took out a snow-white elixir and swallowed it. Then, after a few breaths with his eyes closed, the previously pallid color of his complexion suddenly improved.


    Such tiger wolf medicine would only be carried by members of their Sky-Mending Group within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Another attempt is needed. This time, we absolutely cannot be disturbed by these people.¡±


    By this time, Master Huakai too had realized what was happening. Her eyes coldly fixed on Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian.


    Gongsun Jielu was still trapped and was no longer a consideration.


    If she could suppress or kill the remaining two, then she would be able to wholeheartedly summon the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and, perhaps, break through the Beiming Domain before Narcissus dealt with the Divine Control Pavilion Master.


    At this point, that was the only path left.


    Master Huakai no longer hesitated. Her hands performed a seal, and the multicolored treasure tree enveloped her once again.


    Although the treasure tree had been damaged due to the consecutive attacks from Gongsun Jielu and Lan Haitian, the two of them were now unable to use the same powerful Sword Sha and talisman.


    Master Huakai was confident that with her own cultivation level of a true body of a lifetime and the damaged treasure tree, she could slay Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian.


    The treasure tree was now unable to completely envelop her after being damaged, but with the supply of her vital essence, Master Huakai could still use the forbidden technique she had just displayed.


    As fresh flowers started blooming on the withered branches again, Lan Haitian¡¯s expression shifted slightly.


    He took a deep breath, supporting the Star Concentrating Stone, ready to use the Domain to buy some time.


    A dazzling, eye-piercing purple radiance suddenly shone brightly around him!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand held the Purple Electric Sword, the flickering electric light like stars, radiating arcs of light constantly from him as the center.


    As his hand wielding the sword lifted, the specks of electric light, like fluorescent light, merged into the blade of the Purple Electric Sword. When the blade was raised above his head, a terrifying energy that made the void tremble and the oceans roar with a tsunami-like force had been fully gathered.


    ¡°This sword!?¡±


    At this moment, Master Huakai finally noticed the scene.


    The news of Chen Mobai wielding the Purple Electric Sword had occupied headlines in the Immortal Gate for quite some time, and although she had been in seclusion nurturing the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, she was aware of this.


    But like Lan Haitian and the others, she had thought that Chen Mobai, even though he was a prodigy, couldn¡¯t possibly make a Rank-4 superior Crystal Divine Sword submit to him.


    Rank-4 corresponding to the Yuan Ying level, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that her own treasure tree had been cultivated by her in a previous life, she would probably not be able to control it perfectly, even with treasure-refining techniques.


    However, what she was witnessing now, the scene of man and sword achieving one with a Clear Heart of Sword, was beyond Master Huakai¡¯s imagination!


    ¡°I¡¯ve misjudged, this guy¡¯s talent is even more terrifying than the legends!¡±


    Master Huakai could say that she had watched Chen Mobai grow step by step to this level, after all, he was a citizen under her command.


    When Chen Mobai impressed everyone and won first place during the entrance examination, out of curiosity, she left her body with Divine Consciousness Leaving Body and personally came to observe.


    She could affirm that this was a student with very ordinary talent.


    It was just his aptitude in Magic Duel that was indeed brilliantly exceptional.


    If he had lived in a war-torn era, he would have certainly achieved great things.


    But in the peaceful times of the Immortal Gate, being able to enter one of the Ten Great Academies was already quite impressive.


    Although eventually, because of Yu Tianguang, Chen Mobai joined the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Master Huakai still did not pay much attention since, essentially, she was at the same level as Master Chengxuan. The Daoist Academy might have a high reputation, but to her, it was just that.


    Out of the students who came out of the Daoist Academy, those who could achieve Core Formation were few, and those who could reach Nascent Soul Formation were even fewer.


    At least, she hadn¡¯t seen anyone from the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Gold Core ranks with much hope or potential for Nascent Soul Formation.


    At the close of the entrance examination, Master Huakai thought that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, Foundation Establishment should be fine, but Core Formation would be hard.


    Even if he luckily achieved Core Formation, it would be his final step, never advancing further, never becoming her peer.


    Yet, the subsequent developments in Chen Mobai¡¯s journey kept surpassing all her expectations.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, he suppressed all the Foundation Establishment prodigies of the Immortal Gate single-handedly at Jumang Academy!


    He even managed to outweigh three Golden Core Masters as just a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Academy, and the Purple Electric Sword favored him.


    Such swordsmanship talent made even Master Huakai feel threatened.


    But within the territory of the Immortal Gate and with the attention Chen Mobai was receiving, she could only watch quietly, not daring to make a move.


    After all, exposing herself for the sake of merely an Immortal Gate prodigy would be unwise.

 Chapter 988 - Chapter 988 542

    Chapter 988: 542 Chapter 988: 542 There was another reason, after all, that Chen Mobai became silent after his graduation. Whether it was studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute or returning to Red Sandstone City to research farming and talismans, the talent he displayed was only of an upper-middle level.


    Subsequently, Master Huakai confidently entered secluded cultivation in preparation for the advancement of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. However, when she emerged, she was shocked by the news she heard.


    Chen Mobai had comprehended the path and formed his golden core!


    What furrowed her brows even more was that after forming his core, he had unexpectedly chosen neighboring Yu Wood City!


    At this time, Master Huakai had already sensed some ominous signs.


    So when Yu Tianguang was apprehended by the Immortal Gate, she remained unmoved, allowing Lan Haitian and his companions to take the man away.


    Regrettably, she had still underestimated the Immortal Gate¡¯s resolve.


    And even more, she had underestimated that fellow¡¯s talent!


    Watching the dark purple, fan-shaped sword radiance slashing down from the sky, Master Huakai gritted her teeth and fed it another drop of her own essence blood, which wasn¡¯t much to begin with, and stimulated the mighty power of the sacred tree.


    The dark purple sword radiance collided with the sea of flowers, erupting into a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth!


    Petals shattered one by one, yet inch by inch they whittled down the power of the Purple Lightning Sword!


    ¡°Although this guy can achieve unity of man and sword, he has only just formed his core. The power of the Purple Lightning Sword he can wield is less than one-tenth, maybe even weaker than the Aurora Starfall Talisman!¡±


    After laboriously erasing the last wisp of the Purple Lightning Sword¡¯s thunderous light, Master Huakai¡¯s eyes flickered with a cold gleam, and petals fell one after another, transforming into several flower clones!


    ¡°In one fell swoop, turn those two into cocoons as well, make them nutrients for the sacred tree. That way, the connection with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore can be sped up¡­¡±


    Countless pitch-black Flying Needles shot down from the sky, piercing the six flower clones full of holes.


    Lan Haitian utilized his Six Dominions Scripture. Once the Star Concentrating Stone had absorbed enough spiritual power, it resembled a black sun emerging mid-air, continually extracting specially crafted Flying Needles from within the domain using the resources of the Immortal Gate. He formed an impenetrable Yuan Magnet Domain array, launching piercing assaults from all directions toward Master Huakai, merged as one with the sacred tree.


    But Master Huakai simply sneered and waved the branches of the sacred tree, instantly brightening tens of thousands of differently colored petals to block every Flying Needle.


    This precise control of divine sense showcased Master Huakai¡¯s superior essence.


    ¡°Indeed worthy of being a powerhouse of the Evil Path. As things stand, I can only take a risk. I can probably draw her attention for half a minute. Go try to release Vice Minister Gongsun from the flower cocoon seal. If she can act, the three of us should be able to hold out until the arrival of Narcissus Elder!¡±


    As Lan Haitian spoke, a withered yellow branch shot out from the palm of a green flower clone far away, exploiting the gap when he was channeling spiritual power, and pierced through his Yuan Magnet Domain.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Yuan Magnetic Force moving Lan Haitian¡¯s body half a step at the crucial moment, he would have likely been impaled through the heart.


    Even so, Lan Haitian still ended up with a hole in his side from the branch.


    After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he gritted his teeth, took out a black flying knife, and cut off the branch in his side.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going¡­¡±


    After doing all this, Lan Haitian realized Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t moved an inch and became extremely anxious, thinking that his lack of experience in magic duels had left him petrified by the gruesome battle!


    Boom!


    But just then, a thunderous rumble, which had sounded earlier, once again spread to his ears, and the dim Purple Lightning Sword blade lit up with a stunning brilliance once more.


    ¡°Sorry, I was fully preparing for the second sword just now, so I couldn¡¯t divert my attention to respond to you,¡±


    said Chen Mobai¡¯s calm voice in Lan Haitian¡¯s ear. He raised his right hand, once again aiming the Purple Lightning Sword at Master Huakai, and brought it down heavily.


    The observant Lan Haitian even noticed that the tips of Chen Mobai¡¯s fingers, holding the sword in his right hand, lit up with the colors of the Five Elements, seemingly forming a powerful array that perfectly synchronized with the sword radiance of the Purple Lightning Sword.


    The sky lit up with a crescent of dark purple light, which, wherever it passed, turned all the flower clones derived from the sacred tree into a shower of wooden chips and shattered petals without any resistance!


    Master Huakai¡¯s face changed dramatically as she threw the Stone Flower Artifact she had refined in her lifetime towards the arc of the Purple Lightning Sword, hoping to detonate the artifact and vent the energy of the sword strike in advance.


    But her plan was seen through by Lan Haitian, who had been closely watching the battlefield. He immediately used the Yuan Magnetic Force to move the Star Concentrating Stone along with the remaining thousand or so Flying Needles around the Purple Lightning Sword, hitting the Stone Flower beforehand.


    In the midst of the roaring thunder, Lan Haitian¡¯s face suddenly turned pale, and fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.


    This meant his Lifespan Artifact was severely damaged and could even be destroyed!


    But his action allowed Chen Mobai¡¯s arc of Purple Lightning Sword light to slash unimpeded onto the sacred tree.


    ¡°`


    Amid the harsh grating noise, the Purple Electric Sword deeply sliced into the deepest part of the treasure tree.


    On the left side of Master Huakai¡¯s shoulder, waist, and legs, a deep sword mark that reached the bone became visible, with fresh blood spraying out incessantly.


    Amid violent coughing!


    Master Huakai clasped his hands in a seal, resorting to a forbidden technique that he had thought he would never use again!


    At this moment, high above in the sky, a dark purple arc of light once again lit up!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face was pale, but he held the Purple Electric Sword with a resolute expression, slashing down the third sword strike of the day!


    Master Huakai¡¯s eyes widened, staring fixedly at the handsome young man in the sky who was swinging the sword down, as if to etch his visage deeply in his memory.


    Following that, the dark-purple fan-shaped arc of light descended, and along the sword mark that had already split the treasure tree, it cut Master Huakai into two.


    Blood spread all over the sea, and the treasure tree lost its brilliance entirely.


    A withered and broken Stone Flower also fell from mid-air, landing right on the top of Master Huakai¡¯s head, whose eyes were still wide open in death.


    ¡°Is it over?¡±


    Lan Haitian asked with some disbelief.


    He had thought that this time things looked grim and that they might lose one or two.


    To his surprise, Chen Mobai had made three successive strikes, slicing the illustrious Master Huakai of the Ascension Sect down!


    ¡°The power of my single sword strike might not match your Aurora Starfall Talisman, but it also possesses Rank-4 might. With three strikes, I think he should be dead!¡±


    Chen Mobai was also unsure, as his opponent was no minor character.


    Moreover, he had few experiences using the Purple Electric Sword to kill Golden Core Masters. Those powers from the Ancient Evil Path Union might have some deception or escape techniques!


    ¡°You burn her with true fire,¡± said Lan Haitian hesitantly to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai immediately took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and activated the Pure Yang Fire, directing it onto both halves of Master Huakai¡¯s corpse and the treasure tree.


    However, this Pure Yang Fire was too balanced and peaceful and couldn¡¯t ignite the corpse and the treasure tree.


    ¡°Chen brother, have you not cultivated the ¡®Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡¯ from the Pure Yang Scroll?¡± asked Lan Haitian, somewhat surprised seeing this.


    ¡°I¡¯ve only formed my core recently; when would I have had the time?¡± replied Chen Mobai truthfully. The Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s core formation section contained many spells, and the Great Sun Qianyang Fire was a signature of the Pure Yang cultivators from the Immortal Gate, one of the six great precious flames. It¡¯s created by combining Pure Yang Fire, Great Sun Fire, and one¡¯s own pill fire. When cultivated to the extreme, even the void could be burned to nothingness.


    However, he was always uninterested in techniques that couldn¡¯t rely on resources for cultivation.


    ¡°Hey, you kid did quite well, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    Just at that moment, the void opened, and the Jade Narcissus, with her white hair, white eyebrows, and skin like jade, walked in. Seeing Master Huakai¡¯s body with eyes wide open in death upon the ocean, she looked at Chen Mobai with some surprise.


    With her realm, she could instantly see the Purple Lightning Sword Power lingering on Master Huakai¡¯s corpse.


    ¡°Deputy Division Chief Gongsun and Deputy Head Lan first depleted most of her spiritual power and essence blood, which allowed me the chance to strike her down. I dare not take all the credit,¡± Chen Mobai said humbly.


    The Jade Narcissus listened and then sized him up again, nodding her head in satisfaction.

    Afterward, she snapped her fingers, and amidst the whirling of heaven and earth, they had left the Beiming Domain and returned to the Danxia Mountain Range.


    ¡°I gave you some face, and left him a breath of life,¡± the Jade Narcissus pointed toward Yu Tianguang, who was unconscious and trapped within a huge water sphere.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 Chapter 989 - Chapter 989 Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard

    Chapter 989: Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard Chapter 989: Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard ¡°It won¡¯t be easy to save his life, I¡¯m afraid.¡±


    As Narcissus Superior spoke, she also brought out Gongsun Jielu, who had been sealed by Master Huakai within the Beiming Domain.


    ¡°Master Yu has shown me kindness, and after all, he is a senior teacher on the roster of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I must do my best.¡±


    If it were anyone else, given Yu Tianguang¡¯s confirmed status as a host body for the Divine Control Pavilion Master¡¯s God Seed, they¡¯d surely be quick to disassociate themselves and prove their innocence.


    But Chen Mobai had no such concerns, for he had slain Master Huakai.


    This was sufficient to prove his loyalty to the Immortal Sect.


    And it was for this reason that he spoke with a clear conscience.


    ¡°You¡¯re a loyal and righteous young fellow. Then, I shall give you a hand.¡±


    With each look at Chen Mobai, Narcissus Superior grew more fond of him, feeling that his values and principles perfectly aligned with hers. Moreover, his cultivation level wasn¡¯t weak, and he might very well reach her own rank in the future. Thinking of her own endeavors, she couldn¡¯t help but owe another favor to Chen Mobai.


    She took out her phone and dialed a number.


    [Hello!]


    After the call connected and, since Narcissus Superior had turned on the speakerphone, Chen Mobai heard a familiar voice.


    It was the principal of their Dance Tool Dao Academy, Master Chengxuan.


    Narcissus Superior: [The matter here is settled, Shi Qing was slain by your academy¡¯s youngster, but Yu Tianguang is also a host for the Divine Control Pavilion Master. In consideration of your face, I left him a breath of life.]


    Master Chengxuan remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing whether it was better for Yu Tianguang to be dead or alive. After a long while, he simply said two words: [Thank you.]


    Narcissus Superior: [Gongsun was deceived by Master Huakai. To avoid any hidden dangers, I plan to take her to see Sanjue. Should I take Yu Tianguang as well? His essence, Qi, and spirit have been drained by the Divine Control Pavilion Master and he likely won¡¯t survive more than half a year without prompt treatment.]


    Master Chengxuan: [Then I will have to trouble you with this matter, and I¡¯ll give Sanjue a heads-up in advance.]


    After a brief conversation, the two of them had settled the matter.


    The task of saving Yu Tianguang was essentially handled by Master Chengxuan, thereby extricating Chen Mobai from the situation.


    Chen Mobai was quite pleased with this outcome.


    After all, if he were to run for the position of one of The Three Great Halls¡¯ Hall Masters in the future, the issue of Yu Tianguang could potentially become a problem.


    ¡°Many thanks to you, Superior.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude to Narcissus Superior with a bow.


    ¡°Leave this place to you. I must be on my way.¡±


    After applying a seal to the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Narcissus Superior left with the sealed Gongsun Jielu and Yu Tianguang.


    Although Chen Mobai was a member of the Kaiyuan Hall committee, he only nominally had control over the Immortal Sect branches in Yu Wood City. Plus, he had no experience dealing with the aftermath of events within the Immortal Sect and was completely clueless.


    So in the end, it was Lan Haitian who took up the task without complaint.


    Since Shi Qing was a member of the Ascension Sect, the personnel within Danxia City¡¯s Immortal Sect system were no longer trusted. After Lan Haitian received authorization from Narcissus Superior, he immediately called upon the Department of Law Enforcement from Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Having presided over the Cinnabarite Institute for over two hundred years, the number of Immortal Sect Disciples who graduated under Shi Qing were countless, and they were nearly ubiquitous across every department of Danxia City. Many even reached out to nearby Blessed Earth Cities and even within certain Cave Heavens.


    For instance, Wu Shangru, the former legal representative of the Flying Talisman Factory, who had completed his Foundation Establishment at Cinnabarite Institute before striving and succeeding in moving his household registration into Huayang Cave Heaven.


    However, once Shi Qing was exposed, Wu Shangru immediately received a notice from the Immortal Sect instructing him to report to Huayang Cave Heaven¡¯s local Department of Law Enforcement to assist in the investigation.


    Besides him, every student who graduated during Shi Qing¡¯s tenure as principal of Cinnabarite Institute was added to the Immortal Sect¡¯s watchlist.


    For the foreseeable future, this group would be under close scrutiny by the various departments of the Immortal Sect.


    All these troublesome tasks were single-handedly managed by Lan Haitian.


    Chen Mobai, meanwhile, was asked to oversee the Danxia Mountain Range during this time, guarding the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    This Spirit Plant was temporarily sealed by Narcissus Superior, capable only of absorbing the most basic Spiritual Energy to survive, in order to prevent any outburst due to Master Huakai¡¯s demise.


    However, this seal could not last for very long. Given the immense Spiritual Power contained within the fourth grade superior Azure Jadeite Sycamore, which was even greater than Narcissus Superior¡¯s, and the fact that it was closely related to Danxia City¡¯s Fire Vein, a comprehensive sealing plan would require the concerted effort of Immortal Sect¡¯s Forestry Bureau, Land, Formation, and Celestial Phenomenon departments.


    Moreover, at minimum, it required the oversight of a proficient Nascent Soul Superior in formations and Spirit Plants.


    Yet it seemed that none of the eligible Nascent Soul Superiors were eager to wade into these troubled waters.

    So while the upper echelons of The Three Great Halls of the Immortal Sect were still in meetings, Lan Haitian asked Chen Mobai to stand guard until a decision was reached.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s aversion to getting involved, he naturally wasn¡¯t too happy about it.


    But, as he had already become involved, and considering that if Lan Haitian were to request from the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect a Golden Core Master to guard the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, the Kaiyuan Hall committee would likely give a direct order for the nearest him to undertake the task.


    After the battle, Chen Mobai had come to see Lan Haitian as someone he could trust with his life, who had also mentioned that if he was unwilling, he could refuse on the grounds of injury from the encounter with Master Huakai.


    But Danxia City was Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown, and at such a turbulent time, he felt it was his duty to step forward and take responsibility.

 Chapter 990 - Chapter 990 Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard_2

    Chapter 990: Chapter 543: The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard_2 Chapter 990: Chapter 543: The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard_2 Therefore, after making arrangements for Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai calmly and irreversibly took his seat at the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range.


    During this period, Qin Baipeng, the City Lord of Red Sandstone City, visited several times, hoping to have Chen Mobai save him.


    Lan Haitian had already restrained all Immortal Sect institutions in Red Sandstone City, initiating a thorough investigation and screening from top to bottom, with key personnel from several departments taken away for questioning by the Department of Law Enforcement.


    As the saying goes, ¡°Weeding out the radishes pulls out the mud.¡± Before long, Qin Baipeng was also asked to cooperate with the investigation.


    Chen Mobai could only assure Qin Baipeng that as long as he had no ties to the Ascension Sect, he would remain unharmed and safe.


    After Qin Baipeng, representatives from both Red Dawn Institution and Cinnabarite Institute also sought him out.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, many teachers have been taken away for investigation, and many classes have had to stop. The students are all in a panic¡­¡±


    ¡°The teachers can all take vows of Dao heart, assuring that they have nothing to do with the Ascension Sect. Could Councilor Chen perhaps speak with the Department of Law Enforcement and communicate on our behalf?¡±


    ¡°At the very least, ensure the normal conduct of the students¡¯ classes¡­¡±


    After hearing the requests from both institutions, Chen Mobai communicated with Lan Haitian, who showed considerable respect. Except for a few key figures, he had the rest of the teachers sent back.


    The person in charge of this matter was Lin Yin, and when she came over, there was another matter at hand.


    ¡°What is this for?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched curiously as Lin Yin carried transparent glass tubes, in and out of the wooden hut beneath the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree where Shi Qing had long been in seclusion, and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°These are Spirit Sealing Tubes. They can extract remnants of spiritual power and other energy traces from the air. This way, we can identify who had more contact with Shi Qing.¡±


    Qing Women, a member of the Sky-Mending Group, answered. It was a device they had developed.


    In front of Chen Mobai, Lin Yin deployed the device, and soon a stream of blue light formed from the void and flowed into the glass tube in her hand.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Is it really this miraculous?¡±


    Qing Women: ¡°It can only extract traces from the past year; anything earlier has long since dissipated. It¡¯s just a routine procedure, and I doubt Team Leader Lin expects to find any crucial clues with it.¡±


    During this time, Qing Women had been staying by his side. While Chen Mobai presided on the mountain summit, she stayed in the wooden hut on the mountainside.


    Although Lan Haitian was short on manpower, he seemed to have forgotten that someone like Qing Women existed within the Sky-Mending Group.


    Soon, Lin Yin completed her task.


    The energy in all four glass tubes she held was the same blue color.


    ¡°This is Shi Qing¡¯s spiritual power, without any further discoveries.¡±


    Lin Yin shook her head in disappointment, although this was an anticipated outcome. As she spoke, she took out a talisman and affixed it to one of the glass tubes.


    ¡°What¡¯s this now?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, pointing to the talisman.


    ¡°This is a Spirit Coagulation Talisman. Used in tandem with the Spirit Sealing Tube, it can solidify the extracted spiritual power, preventing it from dissipating. Although Master Huakai has died, her spiritual power holds high research value, and Elder Yuanxu specifically called to have us collect it and send it to him.¡±


    Lin Yin made no attempt to hide anything from Chen Mobai.


    After his exceptional performance, Chen Mobai¡¯s level of trust within the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect was no lower than that of Lan Haitian, and he was entitled to be informed of many things.


    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t there a body? Wouldn¡¯t it be more convenient and faster to extract directly from the body?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it somewhat odd to ask; although a cultivator¡¯s spiritual power would slowly dissipate after death, with the technology of the Immortal Sect, they should certainly be able to extract enough.


    ¡°Master Huakai¡¯s body was taken by Peach Blossom Sage and given to Three Extremes Sage. Elder Yuanxu is mainly interested in researching the Biyu Wutong.¡±


    Lin Yin didn¡¯t dare say more, only hinting vaguely at Chen Mobai in accordance with Lan Haitian¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°I see, are four tubes enough, or should we collect more?¡±


    Unaware of the Nine-Colored Immortal Flower incident, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand the hint; instead, he was concerned about the task Elder Yuanxu had assigned.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, the document only required us to collect three tubes, and I¡¯ve already extracted one more. Later, I still need to take a branch from the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and I¡¯ll need Councilor Chen¡¯s assistance for that.¡±


    After hearing Lin Yin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded and then used the Immortal Flower¡¯s sealing technique to subdue the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. He personally took action and cut off a section of the branch with his Purple Electric Sword.


    After seeing Lin Yin off, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree standing at the mountain¡¯s peak, pensive.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Qing Nu, who was by his side, saw his expression and asked curiously.


    ¡°The Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Coagulation Talisman, how long can they solidify and preserve the Spiritual Power within?¡±


    Chen Mobai, during his time studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute, had also attended more than a dozen Yuanqi system classes with Yan Bingxuan, and was very familiar with the foundational theories of Elder Yuanxu. He suddenly had an idea that could significantly increase his own combat power in a short time.


    ¡°If you are willing to continually use Spirit Coagulation Talismans, theoretically, it could be an unlimited amount of time. The Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s Pure Yang Qi was preserved in this way,¡± Qing Nu replied. Although she was from the Sky-Mending Group, she was very familiar with the Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Coagulation Talisman; after all, there were many occasions where their group had to deal with corpses, extracting residual Spiritual Power and such.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Can the Spirit Sealing Tube store any quality of Spiritual Power?¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°That¡¯s not the case; it depends on the quality of energy you need to store. For instance, explosive thunder or sharp Sword Qi would require specially made, custom-ordered Spirit Sealing Tubes.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What about flames, like the ¡®Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡¯ from our Pure Yang Scroll practitioners?¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°For that, you would need ceramic pipes made of Spirit Soil, which have good thermal insulation and won¡¯t crack under high temperatures from True Fire.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked some detailed questions, and Qing Nu answered them all.


    Soon the sky darkened, and the two said their goodbyes with reluctance.


    After Qing Nu left the mountaintop, Chen Mobai had just sat down when he looked up in surprise towards the sky.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s figure flew in from a distance, slowly descending.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard during this time.¡±


    ¡°Not at all, I¡¯ve just been staying here. On the other hand, you¡¯ve been the one dealing with the aftermath, which is truly exhausting.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that Lan Haitian had intentionally waited for Qing Nu to leave before coming over. He invited him to sit down and began to boil water for tea.


    ¡°The latest notification from the upper echelons is that Peach Blossom Sage will soon bring people from Jumang Academy and Xianwu Hall to take care of this Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.¡±


    This news from Lan Haitian was something Chen Mobai had expected.


    In the Immortal Sect, the one most renowned for their knowledge about Spirit Plants was none other than the Peach Blossom Sage, who had an advantageous background and natural gifts.


    ¡°Then, I suppose I am relieved of my duties.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile. Although sitting here every day, with the Qi of the Fourth-Grade Spirit Vein for cultivation and receiving the highest quality treatment within the Immortal Sect, it still was not as good as Giant Tree Ridge.


    Moreover, being tied down here made it difficult to do many things.


    ¡°The Department of Portal Management opened Master Huakai¡¯s Domain and discovered various items she had prepared for executing a Forbidden Technique.¡±


    Lan Haitian suddenly shared another piece of news. Chen Mobai picked up the teacup and brewed a cup for him before listening intently.


    ¡°We do not yet know the nature of this Forbidden Technique, but it is known to be related to this Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and it¡¯s very likely to involve the core inheritance of the Ancient Evil Path Union¡¯s Flower Bloom Courtyard.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Flower Bloom Courtyard Head two thousand years ago was the leader of the Ancient Evil Path Union, with a cultivation level and status comparable to today¡¯s Ascension Sect Master. Although records of this lineage in the Immortal Sect were vague, Lan Haitian knew that person was also at the Transformation God Level.


    And his accomplishment of Divinity Transformation was partly because he took advantage of the war that opened the portals to Different Worlds, sneaking into one such realm.


    Although the Flower Bloom Courtyard Head¡¯s Divinity Transformation was discovered by natives of the Different World due to leaked aura, leading to a siege that he barely escaped from. He then was hunted down by Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Immortal Sect and eventually vanished into oblivion.


    However, the secret of his Divinity Transformation has always been pursued by the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect.


    As Lan Haitian¡¯s words came to this point, Chen Mobai had already understood his implication.

 Chapter 991 - Chapter 991 Chapter 544 The Origin of Qing Nu

    Chapter 991: Chapter 544: The Origin of Qing Nu Chapter 991: Chapter 544: The Origin of Qing Nu For the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect, there weren¡¯t many things that could attract their attention anymore.


    However, the Secret Technique of Divinity Transformation of the Blossom Yard Godmaker was undoubtedly one of them.


    If this Biyu Wutong did indeed have something to do with it, then in the eyes of the people at the top of the Immortal Law, the status of this Spirit Plant would probably rise to a level not inferior to that of Rank-5.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Did the Peach Blossom Sage come for this?¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°We can¡¯t speculate about the Sage¡¯s thoughts; we just need to cooperate with her actions.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded; the sooner this matter was resolved, the better for him.


    That way, Red Sandstone City could return to peace, and he could continue keeping a low profile in Yu Wood City, focusing on developing and exploring the Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°By the way, I have always heard that the Ancient Evil Path Union has the theory of the Soldier Rebirth Technique. What is the principle behind this? Why was Master Huakai able to reincarnate as Shi Qing?¡±


    This was a question Chen Mobai had been curious about for a long time, but he had been unable to find any information related to the Forbidden Techniques of the Ancient Evil Path Union within the Immortal Sect. Encountering the example of Master Huakai presented a good opportunity to consult an expert.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°The so-called Soldier Rebirth Technique involves destroying one¡¯s original body, allowing the soul and Divine Sense to leave the body, free from physical constraints. Then, find a prepared pregnant woman in advance, and enter into her embryo, thus living anew.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback after hearing this, ¡°In that case, couldn¡¯t the powerful beings of the Ancient Evil Path Union just use this Soldier Rebirth Technique to live eternally in the mortal world?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like that; the Soldier Rebirth Technique has many restrictions, and one can¡¯t escape the cycles of heaven and earth.¡± Lan Haitian shook his head and began to explain in detail to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°A person¡¯s lifespan depends on two factors: spirit and flesh. Although the body can return to its peak through reincarnation, the soul and Divine Sense can¡¯t escape the innate limitations of lifespan and fate.¡±


    ¡°For example, Master Huakai lived for a thousand years, but at five hundred years old, she was caught by the Kaiyuan Hall Master, died with her body destroyed, and reincarnated as Shi Qing through the Soldier Rebirth Technique. But in this life, her lifespan is at most five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°When that time comes, even if Master Huakai¡¯s body is still at its peak, her soul will have to enter the cycle of reincarnation due to reaching the limit of its lifespan.¡±


    ¡°This Soldier Rebirth Technique was originally just a technique of the Antiquity Daoist System for avoiding disaster when the Taoist Body collapsed. Over time, some discovered it could be used to reshape an originally imperfect foundation and began to gain widespread popularity.¡±


    After listening to Lan Haitian¡¯s detailed introduction to the Soldier Rebirth Technique, Chen Mobai showed a look of sudden realization.


    So there were so many restrictions.


    He thought that if one could reincarnate indefinitely, then those in the Immortal Sect who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm over the past six thousand years and kept reincarnating, there would probably be at least a hundred Nascent Souls by now.


    Let alone those at the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    In that case, the resources of ten Di Yuan Stars would probably not suffice.


    ¡°Then, in the Immortal Sect, how often is this Soldier Rebirth Technique used?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated but still asked this question.


    Although the Soldier Rebirth Technique had many restrictions, it still represented a chance for cultivators with aging and decaying bodies.


    After all, the probability of breakthroughs when the vitality and essence of the body are at their peak is much higher than when aged.


    If Nascent Soul Cultivators reincarnate and can inherit the legacy of their past life, they are likely to quickly return to their original realm and even make up for the flaws in their previous foundation to attack the Spirit Transformation Stage, the success rate would definitely be higher.


    ¡°I can only say that it exists, but it¡¯s not common.¡±


    Chen Mobai had saved Lan Haitian¡¯s life, so the latter was willing to share what he knew in response to his questions.


    ¡°After the Immortal Sect annihilated most of the Ancient Evil Path Union, they also obtained the complete Soldier Rebirth Technique. After detailed research, it was discovered that if one reincarnates into an embryo that has not yet formed, there would be the enigma of the embryo; but such a second-life body would have no barriers and could perfectly integrate with the soul and Spiritual Sense.¡±


    ¡°To avoid the enigma of the embryo, one would have to enter an already formed infant within the mother¡¯s womb, but doing so is equivalent to stopping the birth of a new baby. Besides having the force of bad karma, there is a high probability of disharmony between the Spiritual Sense and the body.¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Sect forbids taking over infants through direct transmigration but allows reincarnation into an embryo. Many superiors who died in wars were given permission to reincarnate through the Soldier Rebirth Technique.¡±


    ¡°Among these, many superiors failed to break free from the enigma of the embryo, but with the guidance of the Immortal Sect, they could live safely to the end of their remaining lifespan.¡±


    ¡°Of course, there are also a few extraordinary individuals who, after reincarnation, ascend to an even higher level of talent and comprehension. Even without awakening their past life memories, they cultivate to a higher realm than their past life.¡±

    Chen Mobai was astonished after hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words.


    This Soldier Rebirth Technique could only be performed by Nascent Soul Superiors, and above the Nascent Soul, there was only the level of Divinity Transformation.


    ¡°Who is the illustrious elder?¡±


    He was very curious and could not help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Taiyuan True Monarch. But even with such an example, only in desperate situations would the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect choose the Soldier Rebirth Technique.¡±

 Chapter 992 - Chapter 992 Chapter 544 Qing Nus Origin_2

    Chapter 992: Chapter 544 Qing Nu¡¯s Origin_2 Chapter 992: Chapter 544 Qing Nu¡¯s Origin_2 ¡°`


    Chen Mobai also understood this principle very well.


    After all, under the restrictions of the Immortal Sect, the mystery of the rebirth might very well hinder their achievements in their second life.


    Even if they had the support of family, old friends, and disciples, if they started cultivating from scratch without their memories, whether they could achieve the Nascent Soul Realm for a second time was uncertain.


    Moreover, acquiring resources for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± within the Immortal Sect was extremely difficult.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Lan, for resolving my doubts.¡±


    By now, Chen Mobai had understood all about the Soldier Rebirth Technique, and he couldn¡¯t help but thank Lan Haitian.


    ¡°If you were to join the Hall of Orthodox Law, this information would be open to you as well.¡±


    Lan Haitian, however, said something that took Chen Mobai by surprise.


    ¡°The Hall of Orthodox Law shouldn¡¯t be short of people. Why is Brother Lan also recruiting?¡±


    First it was Gongsun Jielu, and now Lan Haitian¨CChen Mobai truly did not feel he was that popular.


    ¡°We¡¯re not lacking in mediocre personnel, but we are short of a combat genius like Brother Chen. Although Yu Tianguang¡¯s body is possessed by the Divine Control Pavilion Master, the Battle Law Victory evaluation he gave you was indeed well-deserved,¡± Lan Haitian candidly said. As the institution of the Immortal Sect in charge of its two great forces of violence, the Hall of Orthodox Law should, in theory, recruit all of the sect¡¯s combat geniuses.


    About Chen Mobai, Lan Haitian had taken notice of him during the admission trials in Red Sandstone City.


    After he had completed his ¡°Taoist pill formation,¡± this information was submitted to Gongsun Jielu and the Nascent Soul Superior entitled Narcissus.


    And after slaying Master Huakai, Chen Mobai¡¯s personal profile was upgraded again and had personally been inquired upon by the Righteous Law Hall Master.


    The Righteous Law Hall Master said a lot after reading it.


    His subordinates condensed it, turning it into a phrase that was passed on to Lan Haitian.


    Why is such an impressive combat genius not in the Hall of Orthodox Law?


    So Lan Haitian came.


    ¡°I still prefer the quiet.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally declined politely.


    ¡°With Brother Chen¡¯s talent, if you were to join our Hall of Orthodox Law and become the Vice Hall Master, obtaining the baby-forming spiritual things would definitely not be a problem. Why not give it some serious thought?¡±


    Lan Haitian made one last effort.


    ¡°The Immortal Sect is a place that ranks people by seniority. The current Vice Hall Master, Nascent Soul Superior Narcissus has already achieved Nascent Soul Formation, but behind him, Gongsun Jielu and the overall leader of your Patching Heaven Group are queueing up. After these two obtain the Baby-forming Spiritual Things, I might have to compete with you. That would be too draining on my heart and mind, and too time-consuming. It¡¯s not what I desire,¡± Chen Mobai gave a reason. After hearing this, Lan Haitian¡¯s eyes reflected an indescribable emotion.


    ¡°I¡¯m very grateful that Brother Chen does not wish to compete with me,¡± Lan Haitian said.


    After his ¡°Taoist pill formation,¡± Lan Haitian naturally also harbored ambitions for the Hall¡¯s resources for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Though he had always been modest, deep down there was an arrogance that made him feel supreme over everything in the Immortal Sect.


    He believed no one within the sect was his competitor in this regard.


    But having witnessed Chen Mobai slaying Master Huakai with three sword strokes, he knew that now he had a rival.


    If Chen Mobai truly had the intention to join the Hall of Orthodox Law, then a hundred years later, they might indeed engage in an intense competition for the Nascent Soul spiritual resources.


    But the invitation was the intention of the Righteous Law Hall Master, personally conveyed by the Sky-Mending Group overall leader¨Cit was an order Lan Haitian could not refuse to carry out.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai did not waver and still had no intention of coming out of seclusion.


    This made Lan Haitian feel both relieved and very grateful.


    ¡°Brother Lan, you also supported me quite a bit during my Foundation Establishment phase, no need to be so formal,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Whether it was the matter of Little Red Sky, or answering Chen Mobai¡¯s questions after his own ¡°Taoist pill formation,¡± Chen Mobai had not forgotten any of it.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, Brother Chen, there is another matter I need to inform you about. I hope you are mentally prepared.¡±


    ¡°`


    At that moment, Lan Haitian suddenly spoke with a somber expression, causing Chen Mobai¡¯s own expression to become serious as well. Chen Mobai thought Lan Haitian was going to announce a major purging of those related to the Ascension Sect that had been captured during the cleansing of Red Sandstone City.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°How much do you know about the matter of Qing Nu?¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Huh!¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected Lan Haitian to bring up this topic. Only then did he realize that although Lan Haitian had arrived earlier, he had waited until after Qing Nu left before coming out of hiding.


    Was this the important issue he had come to discuss today?


    Chen Mobai, ¡°I only know she looks exactly like Master Xin Ji¡¯s daughter, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be some prominent figure in the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect.¡±


    After hearing this, Lan Haitian nodded slightly. He even expanded his own domain to preclude anyone else from overhearing his next words.


    Lan Haitian, ¡°The experiment that took place over forty years in Yu Wood City was called the ¡®Immortal Sprout Cultivation and Adjustment Plan¡¯. Its official purpose was to assist those cultivators in the Immortal Sect who had lost or damaged their bodies due to cultivation accidents.¡±


    Immortal Sprout Cultivation and Adjustment Plan!


    Chen Mobai was puzzled upon hearing this. What did this have to do with Qing Nu and the others?


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Using bionic genetic technology, artificers could fabricate the limbs or certain organs that cultivators needed to replace their own deficient parts. Initially, this was designed for medical purposes. But underneath the surface of this plan, Master Xin Ji was actually attempting to fully clone and adjust a human being in order to revive his own daughter.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Those who supported Master Xin Ji from the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect aimed to create a reincarnated body that would avoid the secrets of the embryo, circumvent karmic forces, and sidestep Immortal Sect laws during the Soldier Rebirth Technique.¡±


    Lan Haitian, ¡°Moreover, these artificially adjusted human embryos could be an attempt to edit the talent of a Spiritual Root at the genetic level. If we could ensure that the reincarnated body possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root, then, without the secrets of the embryo and with the essence of a Nascent Soul Superior plus the resources of the Immortal Sect, it is estimated they could return to their original realm within sixty years.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face underwent drastic changes.


    He finally understood why the laboratory contained the likes of Qing Nu with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and even other rare Different Spiritual Roots such as Wind Spiritual Root and Dark Spiritual Root.


    The original intent of the experiment was to create embryos with extraordinary talents to enable the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect to undergo reincarnation via the Soldier Rebirth Technique.


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    Chen Mobai forced himself to calm down, lifting his head to look at Lan Haitian as he asked coldly.


    Without being explicit, Lan Haitian knew what he was asking¨Cthe identity of the Immortal Sect higher-ups who were backing the experiment.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know that much. I can only access the records of the Immortal Sprout Cultivation and Adjustment Plan up to this point. Beyond that, only the Courtyard Heads of The Three Great Halls or a Vice Hall Master would have the authority.¡±


    Lan Haitian shook his head. However, even this statement revealed key information.


    The mastermind behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation and Adjustment Plan must be, at the very least, at the rank of Vice Hall Master of the Immortal Sect.


    Or possibly¡­ one of The Three Great Halls Courtyard Heads!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene where he met Kong Feichen in Jumang Academy, saying that their tragic childhoods were caused by The Three Great Halls of Xianmen Courtyard Heads.


    Where did he find this information?


    Was the Ascension Sect involved, or was there someone from that sect within the upper ranks of the Immortal Sect?


    Lan Haitian told Chen Mobai about this because, with his current realm and strength, Chen Mobai was deemed to have the qualification to know about it.


    After all, he was deeply backed and considered the future successor of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Given that two of The Three Great Halls Courtyard Heads were from the Repairing Heaven Institute, there could be a potential clash with this dominant force in the Immortal Sect when the matter was thoroughly investigated in the future.


    Fortunately, though the Dance Tool Dao Academy only had two Nascent Souls, they had an ancestor at the Divinity Transformation stage, Baiguang, who could offer resistance should a conflict with the Repairing Heaven Institute arise.


    Upon reflecting on this, Chen Mobai suddenly realized another detail!


    Back in the Mountain and Sea Academy, Hao Cao said that he encountered the reincarnated body of Ancestor Baiguang!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, that body had not yet awakened its own consciousness!


    Combining what Lan Haitian had said about the Soldier Rebirth Technique with this new piece of information, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened as he gasped in shock.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s reaction, Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t help but curiously ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a bit shocked after suddenly learning the true nature of the matter!¡±

 Chapter 993 - Chapter 993 Chapter 545 Devour God Technique

    Chapter 993: Chapter 545 Devour God Technique Chapter 993: Chapter 545 Devour God Technique After sending Lan Haitian away, Chen Mobai sat alone under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, deep in thought.


    If Ancestor Baiguang had indeed disassembled and reincarnated, it would mean that the Immortal Sect now had only Leading Star Ancestor as a Divinity Transformation expert!


    In that case, wouldn¡¯t their Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s most significant backing have vanished, reducing their power to the bottom of the Four Great Daoist Sects?


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai could count on the support of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    But if future circumstances arose where the masterminds behind the Immortal Sprout modulation plan were the two Hall Masters of the Repairing Heaven Institute, he would be utterly powerless.


    He could only hope that Qing Nu wouldn¡¯t become obsessed over this matter in the future.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts wandered, he suddenly remembered the girl named Xiao Hei he had met at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    She lived on Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s Wangxian Peak and possessed the very rare Pure Yin Body. Could she be the reincarnation of Ancestor Baiguang?


    To arrange for oneself a top-tier Pure Yin Body after reincarnation would be entirely plausible.


    Though her age seemed a bit off, if she truly was Ancestor Baiguang, then Xiao Hei¡¯s age could not be judged by her appearance.


    The more Chen Mobai thought about it, the more likely it seemed.


    However, to know the truth, he would still need to ask Hao Cao or Pei Qingshuang.


    Aside from the Nascent Soul Superiors of the immortal sect, those two, teacher and disciple, were likely the most familiar with the matter concerning Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s reincarnation.


    But probing into this matter would not be without risk and could even draw the attention of Leading Star Ancestor.


    After some contemplation, Chen Mobai felt that a cautious investigation would be better.


    Moreover, as his cultivation level rose and his status within the Dance Tool Dao Academy faction grew, he would eventually find out the truth from Master Chengxuan.


    He decided to proceed step by step, first focusing on his cultivation and enhancing his realm.


    Chen Mobai ultimately opted for a steady approach, for he was already on the Broad Avenue of cultivation. With the resources of the Tianhe Realm, reaching Golden Core Perfection was a certainty, so there was no need to draw undue attention from the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect over this matter.


    Additionally, Chen Mobai harbored another speculation in his heart.


    He wondered if the mastermind behind the Immortal Sprout modulation plan in Yu Wood City was Ancestor Baiguang.


    After all, he knew that Yu Huiping, a disciple of Ancestor Baiguang, was a descendant of Yu Zi, the first City Lord of Yu Wood City. Ancestor Baiguang was also a descendant of this lineage, having moved to Red City Cave Heaven with his parents when he was young.


    If Ancestor Baiguang was the mastermind, it would explain why the Immortal Sect was so wary of Mo Shen.


    That would be the worst-case scenario.


    Pondering this, Chen Mobai felt an increased sense of pity for Qing Nu.


    If things were as he suspected, even if she fulfilled all her potential as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she might only be able to continue her existence in the Immortal Sect by forgetting her tragic childhood.


    In that case, it would be better for Qing Nu to defect to the Ascension Sect with Kong Feichen.


    For some reason, this thought surfaced in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    If such a situation did arise, what would he do?


    After some reflection, Chen Mobai could only shake his head and wryly smile.


    Although he was close friends with Qing Nu, he could not abandon his parents, relatives, friends, and mentors in the Immortal Sect for her sake.


    If Qing Nu left the Immortal Sect, he could only offer his understanding and bid her farewell.


    He just hoped that day would never come.


    Because if Qing Nu truly joined the Ascension Sect, that would mean they were on opposing sides.


    Amidst his tumultuous thoughts, Chen Mobai involuntarily sat down to meditate and cultivate the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, hoping to dispel the clutter in his mind.


    As his cultivation level grew higher, his emotions seldom fluctuated.


    He practiced the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique because he remembered that it was through its contemplation, focusing on the Azure Jadeite Sycamore, that he had established the foundation of his Divine Sense.


    Having witnessed Yu Tianguang¡¯s body used by the Devour God Technique to manifest as the vessel for the descent of the Divine Control Pavilion Master, Chen Mobai felt a mixture of awe and curiosity toward the technique.


    While Yu Tianguang was transcribing it, Chen Mobai was nearby, so he memorized the contents of the ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm,¡± which contained the secrets of the Devour God Technique.


    During his time overseeing Danxia Mountain Range, he also downloaded the standard version of the ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm¡± from the Immortal Gate National Library.


    After comparing the two, he found Yu Tianguang¡¯s transcription to be much more profound, with nearly double the content. After eliminating the differences between the two versions, he obtained a scripture of over thirty thousand words.


    Is this the Devour God Technique?


    With the forbidden technique in his possession, Chen Mobai was naturally curious, but he had always been prudent and would not jeopardize his future by cultivating the Devour God Technique.


    However, taking a look wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Though he didn¡¯t dare to search the internet for related terminology due to the lack of guidance, and his understanding of the technique was somewhat hazy, he at least grasped the general cultivation framework.


    The main principle of cultivating the Devour God Technique is encapsulated in two phrases: ¡°the Way of Heaven, reducing the surplus to compensate the insufficient,¡± and ¡°the Way of Humanity, reducing the insufficient to serve the surplus.¡±


    Among these, the Way of Heaven is the proper method of cultivating the Devour God Technique, while the Way of Humanity is the reason it is considered a forbidden technique by the Immortal Sect.


    The so-called Way of Heaven involves seeing oneself as the insufficient part, then drawing from the surplus to enhance one¡¯s Divine Sense.


    For example, in the ¡°Azure Jadeite Charm,¡± Shi Qing or the Divine Control Pavilion Master regarded the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree as the surplus of Heaven, while the human form was the insufficient part.

 Chapter 994 - Chapter 994 Chapter 545 Devour God Technique_2

    Chapter 994: Chapter 545 Devour God Technique_2 Chapter 994: Chapter 545 Devour God Technique_2 ¡°`


    Therefore, while contemplating the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, one can construct a bridge between the human body and the tree using the Path of Heaven, allowing the vast but unconscious spiritual sense of this fourth-order spirit plant to surge towards the contemplator, speeding up the enhancement of the meditator¡¯s divine consciousness.


    The closer one is to the Azure Jadeite Sycamore, the more rapidly the contemplative cultivator improves.


    For the Azure Jadeite Sycamore itself, since it has been stuck at the bottleneck of the fourth grade superior for hundreds of years, the spiritual power it swallows and the divine consciousness it generates are unconsciously scattered between heaven and earth. Hence, meditating on the Azure Jadeite Lucid Strategy will not cause any depletion to the Azure Jadeite Sycamore; instead, it helps nurture the mountains and rivers of Red Sandstone City.


    Although Chen Mobai is not sure whether these contents are true, he suspects that this is why Yu Tianguang was deceived and ended up unknowingly cultivating a forbidden technique.


    The Devour God Technique hidden within Yu Tianguang¡¯s Azure Jadeite Lucid Strategy is probably detailed in the Path of Heaven¡¯s cultivation content for the sake of disguise, while the Way of Humanity is only briefly mentioned in passing, as a contrast.


    If Yu Tianguang had been more cautious and attentive, he might have been able to detect the nuances in those two lines.


    Those two lines were added by Shi Qing in her own speculative tone, hypothesizing about the advancement of the Azure Jadeite Lucid Strategy to the Nascent Soul.


    She assumed that the sycamore trees sprawling across Danxia Mountain Range, when cut down, could be used for alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, among other raw materials. However, the pure and unconscious spiritual thought contained within would dissipate between heaven and earth, without perfect utilization.


    If these bound-to-be-dissipated spiritual senses of the sycamore trees were to be concentrated within the human body, then over time, accumulating little by little, they would eventually pile up like a sand tower or converge like a deep pool, transforming into a mighty torrent of divine consciousness that breaks through all obstacles and bottlenecks.


    This is the Way of Humanity, to sacrifice the insufficient to sustain the surplus.


    After reading the Devour God Technique, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at its profound mystery.


    This Way of Humanity was likely the key to how Yu Tianguang became implanted with the God Seed by the master of the Divine Control Pavilion; just like the ubiquitous sycamore trees, ready to be harvested and cut down when needed.


    After dispelling the stray thoughts using the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, Chen Mobai then activated the Divine Manipulation Technique to cultivate his divine sense until dawn, when he finally slowly opened his eyes.


    After getting up, he looked at the giant Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree beside him and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Although the foundation of his divine consciousness was forged by contemplating this very Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree,


    now, even when he is closest to it and practices the Art of Divine Consciousness, it merely results in a clearer image of the sycamore tree in the sea of his consciousness, with almost no enhancement.


    It seems that only the Devour God Technique provides the rapid growth described by Yu Tianguang.


    Initially thinking he had found a shortcut to divine consciousness cultivation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help feeling a wave of disappointment after his trials.


    Indeed, the path of cultivation can only be taken one step at a time, with the expenditure of resources.


    After achieving Core Formation, due to his Fire Spirit Body and Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, and coupled with the fourth-order superior spiritual qi and spirit stones from Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai¡¯s progress in cultivating spiritual power was almost equivalent to constantly consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    He felt that in another two years, he would easily break through to the second layer of the Gold Core.


    However, in comparison to spiritual power, the progress of his divine consciousness was somewhat inferior.


    Although relying on the effects of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, he had progressed to the second layer of the Golden Core, the Divine Manipulation Technique had reached its limit after attaining the Golden Core Realm.


    Although it could continue to enhance, achieving an accomplishment in divine consciousness would still require a more suitable Divine Consciousness Technique.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s goal was threefold: the Sun Golden Crow Method, the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, and the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram.


    Many cultivators cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll among the Immortal Gates, which is the most suitable method honed over thousands of years.


    Chen Mobai has always liked to follow the established path, preparing to switch to another Divine Consciousness Technique after reaching Core Formation.


    But because the key Coagulating Spirit Incense was not yet available, he had been delaying it.


    Now that he had acquired the Devour God Technique, Chen Mobai felt an unusual stir in his emotions for the first time in a while.


    Because after reading through it, he was confident that if he cultivated under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree in the manner of the Path of Heaven as described by the Devour God Technique, he could elevate his divine consciousness to the perfection of the ninth level of the Gold Core within a hundred years.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai was very rational.


    After memorizing the gist of the Devour God Technique and comparing it, he turned the paper into ashes.


    This version was definitely not suitable for cultivation; however, if there was an opportunity in the Tianhe Realm in the future, he could consider reworking it.


    See if he could extract its essence and contemplate the Great Dao Tree within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, drawing its spiritual sense with the Path of Heaven.


    ¡°`


    After all, the main reason Yu Tianguang was defeated was because he was unknowingly implanted with a God Seed by the Shenyu Xuanzhu using the Way of Humanity at some point.


    But with Chen Mobai¡¯s cautious personality, he would definitely want to confirm that there were no problems after changing the main subject of his contemplation before he might attempt it.


    However, with his talent and comprehension, if he wanted to revise the Azure Jadeite Lucid Decree, which contains the essence of the Devour God Technique, to focus on the Great Dao Tree and ensure there would be no traces of any Forbidden Technique, he would probably need to drink a lot of Enlightenment Tea.


    He could only hope that Zhuo Ming would manage to cultivate the Enlightenment White Tea tree to Rank-3 soon.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai realized how precious the tea tree gifted to him by Wen Ren Xuewei was.


    To cultivators from Immortal Gate, it might seem like getting whatever cultivation technique they wanted was just a matter of downloading it, so why bother thinking for themselves, but for Chen Mobai, who had personally experienced the effects of Soul Awakening Dao Pills and Enlightenment Tea, these items were extremely useful.


    This was especially true for someone like him who needed to disguise himself.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai felt that his understanding of the Devour God Technique might just be superficial, and to avoid potential hidden dangers, he still needed to be in a state of enlightenment to fully comprehend it.


    At this time, the sunrise began to light up the sky.


    The first rays of sunlight filtered through the leaves of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and fell on Chen Mobai, making him feel as if he had seen the bright path of Dao.


    Just then, a graceful figure flew up, her brows and eyes picturesque, her face clear and beautiful, and at the sight of Chen Mobai, a smile appeared on her lips, incomparably beautiful.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    Qing Nu came over and, with a look of seeking approval, handed the box she was holding to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s arrived so soon, thank you!¡±


    Chen Mobai knew well what it was and opened it happily.


    It was precisely as he had requested: three Spirit Sealing Tubes made to the standards for storing Great Sun Qianyang Fire.


    After Qing Nu took note, they were custom ordered from the Sky-Mending Group Team Two, and naturally, Chen Mobai had also given Lan Haitian a heads-up, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t have been completed so quickly.


    After all, Sky-Mending Group Team Two was specifically responsible for making various peculiar magic artifact equipment, and their workload was already full. Only after Lan Haitian, the deputy group leader, personally made a call were they able to put Chen Mobai¡¯s order for the Spirit Sealing Tubes on the fast track.


    ¡°What are you planning to do with this?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai inspect each Spirit Sealing Tube carefully, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but ask with curiosity.


    ¡°I plan to cultivate a powerful kind of flames.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide this from Qing Nu, and upon hearing it, she assumed he meant the Great Sun Qianyang Fire and decided not to inquire further.


    Now that he had the Spirit Sealing Tubes in hand, the only thing missing was the Spirit Coagulation Talisman.


    Chen Mobai did not call upon his contacts to purchase these as he had been trying to draw them himself during this time.


    With his current Golden Core Realm, if he focused on learning a single Talisman Paper, it was quite simple for him to achieve success.


    After only a few attempts, he mastered the Rank-1 and Rank-2 Spirit Coagulation Talismans.


    Although he kept failing at the Rank-3, he felt progression with each failure.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Let me help you grind the ink!¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai bring out the Talisman Brush and ink, Qing Nu stood by his side and, with a gentle wave of her hand, began to help.


    ¡°Thank you very much!¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally nodded with a smile. Perhaps it was having a beauty by his side that boosted his motivation and desire to perform, by evening he had successfully completed a Rank-3 Spirit Sealing Talisman.


    And with the successful experience in hand, what followed was a natural string of successes.

 Chapter 995 - Chapter 995 Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage

    Chapter 995: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage Chapter 995: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage Chen Mobai tested his Qingyang Fire to ensure that the Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Condensation Talisman would work. After confirming this, he took out a golden Taoist Talisman Paper.


    The patterns on this talisman paper resembled flames, glittering and dazzling to the eye.


    ¡°What is this talisman? Did you draw it?¡±


    Qing Nu asked curiously. She knew Chen Mobai was an outstanding Talisman Maker, having shown off a bit in the past couple of days, easily mastering Spirit Condensation Talismans from Rank-1 to Rank-3.


    She felt that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, his prowess in making talismans should be comparable to her own alchemy skills, or perhaps even more outstanding.


    However, this was an illusion on her part. Chen Mobai could only achieve this because of his Golden Core Realm.


    ¡°This is an ancient talisman that I obtained from opening a Void Blind Box. It came with two types of elixirs, which I was hoping you could help me identify.¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t know what a Void Blind Box was, after all, it was a precious resource that only Golden Core Masters could utilize.


    After Chen Mobai explained, a look of realization appeared on her face, and then she curiously took over the identification of the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan and Blood Spirit Pill, completing it with extreme professionalism.


    Their effects were fine, though the toxicity was slightly above the standard.


    ¡°It might be due to being stored for too long, or perhaps, poor preservation,¡± Qing Nu offered a couple of reasons on behalf of Chen Mobai, sparing him the need for excuses.


    ¡°This ancient talisman, after years of my research, I have found it to be an extremely powerful True Fire talisman. My Pure Yang Scroll can accommodate and control it, so I thought of refining it and nurturing it to increase one of my magic duel techniques.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai ignited the Golden Flame Sword Talisman with a flick of his fingertip.


    After the Spiritual Power Injection, the patterns on the talisman paper burned like real flames, and as the golden flame light flickered and emerged, a heat wave that slightly distorted the void radiated and soon the very ground began to char, attesting to the high temperature of the Golden Flame.


    Even as Qing Nu activated her Water Spiritual Power, she still felt the heat on her body, and sweat continuously broke out.


    Seeing Qing Nu sweating, Chen Mobai signaled her to step back, and then he immediately picked up the Spirit Sealing Tube.


    Once the power of the Golden Flame Sword Talisman was ignited, even if not directed at an enemy, it would slowly dissipate over three to four days.


    Chen Mobai had already fully comprehended the Red Flame Sword Jue, and if he relied on using his alchemy flames and essence of spiritual power to condense the Green Flames Sword Sha, he could refine a trace of ¡°Golden Flame¡± each day. It would probably take two to three years of effort to refine the amount of Golden Flame in this sword talisman.


    After all, it was personally drawn by the Nascent Soul Cultivator Ancestor Hunyuan, and the grade of this Golden Flame Sword Talisman had already reached the peak of Third Rank.


    Even if Chen Mobai could condense the same amount of Golden Flame, the power of the sword talismans he drew would be far inferior to this one.


    He divided the ignited Golden Flame of the sword talisman into three and injected it into three Spirit Sealing Tubes, then affixed the three prepared Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Condensation Talismans.


    In this way, he had the seeds of the Golden Flame.


    Next, by continuously refining them with the Flame Manipulation Technique from the Pure Yang Scroll, and once he was able to completely control them, he would then use the Ignition Technique to continually expand and enhance the Golden Flame.


    When the Golden Flame reached maturity, that would mean the Flame Sun Slash had been mastered.


    By then, in terms of magical dueling, even without using the Purple Electric Sword, he would be unchallengeable within the Golden Core Realm.


    ¡°I feel that the power of this Golden Flame is no less than that of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire.¡±


    After Chen Mobai sealed away the Golden Flame, the scorching heat that was distorting the void and charring the ground vanished. Qing Nu gently wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, feeling a bit frightened as she came closer.


    She felt that if even a spark of that Golden Flame had landed on her, she would have likely been reduced to ashes instantaneously.


    ¡°It¡¯s decent. Now that I have these three tubes of Golden Flame as True Fire seeds, I can quickly master a Third Rank Superior Grade True Fire sword technique. In the future, when I incorporate the Great Sun Fire into it, I can even raise its power to Rank-4.¡±


    The Flame Sun Slash of the Red Flame Sword Jue is based on the sublime condensation of Golden Flame from the Green Flames Sword Sha, while the Extreme Sun Slash requires the incorporation of the Great Sun Fire.


    This approach is similar to that of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire, but the upgrade path is smoother than that of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire. Additionally, because it is used in combination with sword techniques, it has a stronger combat capability.


    It just goes to show that the Tianhe Realm puts more effort and skill into studying magic duels than the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Green Flames Sword Sha was already fully matured, and with the seeds of Golden Flame, plus the profound techniques of the Pure Yang Scroll, he could easily master the Red Flame Sword Jue to its peak if he did not spare any Spirit Stones.


    This sword technique would be his signature move in the Eastern Wilderness, and perhaps in the future, he might even have the opportunity to try obtaining the mighty Fen Tianjing Di.

    Even without that opportunity, once he refines the Extreme Sun Slash to its limit, Chen Mobai could find a way to switch to the route of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire since both techniques involve the Great Sun Fire, leading to different paths with the same destination.


    ¡°You really are amazing!¡±


    After hearing all this, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but look at Chen Mobai with a face full of admiration.


    Even with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, she had struggled immensely just to master a Third Rank True Water Technique, while Chen Mobai was already preparing to cultivate a Rank-4 battle technique.


    ¡°I just have a bit of talent in this area,¡± Chen Mobai said modestly, then he attempted to draw out a strand of Golden Flame from the Spirit Sealing Tube and began refining it with the Flame Manipulation Technique of the Pure Yang Scroll.

 Chapter 996 - Chapter 996 Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage_2

    Chapter 996: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage_2 Chapter 996: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage_2 This spell, reputed to control all the fires of the world, finally had its moment in his hands.


    Three days later, Chen Mobai had completely mastered one of the Gold Flames.


    Next was the use of the Ignition Technique.


    The power of this spell lay in the ability to use Pure Yang Spiritual Power as fuel to ignite the fire that the cultivator mastered thoroughly.


    Chen Mobai immediately transformed the Gold Flame he controlled with the Flame Manipulation Technique into a seed, constantly infusing Spiritual Power and catalyzing it with the Green Flames Sword Slaughter to enhance it.


    Unfortunately, the Ignition Technique was too consumptive of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s Gold Core first-layer Cultivation Level, he could only support it for three days, after which, even while situated atop the most abundant Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of the Danxia Mountain Range, he needed to meditate and cultivate for seven days to recover.


    This is no good, it¡¯s too slow!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, the main reason being that his current task was to stay put here, and in addition to Qing Nu, Lan Haitian also came from time to time to talk to him about the latest cleanup situation in Red Sandstone City, so he didn¡¯t dare to use Spirit Stones to recover.


    If he didn¡¯t care about conserving Spirit Stones, his recovery time could be reduced by more than half.


    Why hasn¡¯t the Peach Blossom Sage come yet?


    Just as Chen Mobai grumbled daily, finally, on a breezy and sunny clear day, he waited for the headmaster of the Jumang Academy to arrive.


    Lan Haitian, leading a group of law enforcement cultivators from the Wangwu Cave Heaven, stood respectfully beside a beautiful woman in a pink and white long dress.


    Riding the clouds in the sky, they flew toward where Chen Mobai was.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first encounter with the Peach Blossom Sage.


    To be honest, in his life, he had seen many beauties, whether it was Meng Huang or Yan Bingxuan, all with beauty that defied nature, thousands of charming and enchanting looks, he had also seen the youthful and vibrant Shi Wanyu, and Qing Nu by his side was even more of a national beauty, stunningly unconventional.


    But compared to the Peach Blossom Sage, they all seemed to pale in comparison.


    Her beauty was not like a human¡¯s, as if she held all the beauty of every woman Chen Mobai had ever seen, with flowing ink-like black hair, slender phoenix eyes with a clear smile, like the bright moon or lakes, high and delicate nose, rosy cheeks, flawless oval face paired with her reddened lips, all making her skin more radiant than snow, clear and lustrous as jade.


    The Peach Blossom Sage possessed the voluptuous figure of a mature woman, yet the fine and fresh beauty of a young girl, and even in her brows and eyes, there was a youthful vivacity, anyone who looked upon her would see any kind of feminine charm they wished to see.


    [This must be what a sylph is like!]


    Somehow, this thought surfaced in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    And at this moment, the Peach Blossom Sage had already descended with Lan Haitian and a large group of people to the peak of the Danxia Mountain Range, her eyes fixed on the towering Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    ¡°Paying respects to the Sage!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately went over with Qing Nu to give their salutations.


    ¡°Greetings, Headmaster!¡±


    Qing Nu also followed suit in greeting her.


    After hearing this, the Peach Blossom Sage turned her head, saw Qing Nu, smiled lightly, and nodded slightly as a return gesture.


    Then, the Peach Blossom Sage kept sizing up Chen Mobai, whose bone structure was clear and distinguished, and her gaze grew more and more approving. Yet, within that approval, there was also a hint of faint regret.


    ¡°Shuang has told me about you. She said you¡¯re not bad.¡±


    As Chen Mobai felt increasingly self-conscious under the Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s gaze, she finally spoke up.


    ¡°Elder Sister Pei¡¯s swordsmanship is dazzlingly brilliant; I deeply admire it. Since our parting at the Mountain and Sea Academy, we¡¯ve often exchanged insights on the path of sword cultivation.¡±


    This was the truth; Pei Qingshuang often chatted with Chen Mobai, usually under the guise of seeking advice on the Sword Dao.


    If it were someone else, Chen Mobai would have pretended not to notice.


    But in the case of Pei Qingshuang, he was willing to engage in exchange, sharing his own revelations on the Sword Dao.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao Realm was granted by the Empowerment of the Great Dao Tree, it was a solid realm. After many years of application, at least his firsthand experience in use far surpassed that of Pei Qingshuang, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    Especially when his sword light transformed and he evolved the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation, such a Sword Dao Realm could only be achieved by a handful of sword dao grandmasters in the Immortal Gate, such as Nangong Xuanyu.


    Pei Qingshuang, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, spent the long wait for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill cultivating her bond with the Qing Shuang Sword, attempting to attain the unity of man and sword, Clear Heart of Sword, as well as practicing the Cold Frost Sword Evil to pass the time.


    Among Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Sword Sha, the Water Attribute Sword Killing was based on Profound Ice Evil, similar to her Sword Evil. Relying on the experience of having gone two steps further, he often pretended to be an expert while chatting with Pei Qingshuang.


    A person¡¯s reputation, like a tree¡¯s shadow!


    Since Chen Mobai was mistakenly recognized by the Immortal Gate as having achieved Taoist Golden Core, Pei Qingshuang had started to regard him as a second Ancestor Baiguang, treating his words as gospel truth.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao Realm was indeed two levels higher than hers; his advice was indeed true and useful experience. Each time, it benefited Pei Qingshuang immensely, enlightening her.


    As a result, every time Pei Qingshuang returned home, she praised Chen Mobai as the person with the greatest swordsmanship talent under heaven and earth in front of the Peach Blossom Sage.


    When the mother and daughter chatted privately, they would be a bit more unrestrained. In Pei Qingshuang¡¯s opinion, Ancestor Baiguang was not as good as Chen Mobai at the same age and stage.


    And for such an outstanding talent to be indifferent to fame and fortune and wholeheartedly devoted to family was extraordinary.


    Such character was simply the most ideal son-in-law material.


    It¡¯s just that Pei Qingshuang was still a bit too shy. Every time the Peach Blossom Sage asked her if she had taken a liking to Chen Mobai, she would talk around the question or directly run out the door with the excuse of going to drink tea with Wen Ren Xuewei to avoid the issue.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, would you be willing to join my Jumang Academy?¡± asked the Peach Blossom Sage suddenly, catching Chen Mobai entirely by surprise.


    ¡°This¡­ I graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and my teacher¡¯s position is still there, Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s kindness is appreciated¡­¡±


    Among the Four Great Daoist Sects, Jumang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy have the best relationship. In the past, Che Yucheng and Master Xin Ji were sworn brothers.


    And Master Chengxuan¡¯s success in Nascent Soul Formation was much indebted to Jumang Academy for providing a tube of Heavenly True Water to help him escape the calamity of Heart Flame burning his body.


    But even with such a good relationship between the two sects, was it appropriate to steal his talent while so many people were watching?


    Not only did Chen Mobai think so, Lan Haitian also had the same thought.


    ¡°I¡¯m not asking you to transfer your position to Jumang. Instead, I¡¯m asking if you would transfer your household registration here. My daughter, Shuang¡¯er, although she cannot bear children, has inherited my appearance and figure. The higher her cultivation, the more beautiful she becomes. I have considered all the outstanding men in the Immortal Gate, and you are the most pleasing to my eyes. Would you be interested in becoming Tao companions with her, to spend the rest of your life together?¡±


    Chen Mobai considered himself to have a strong psychological resilience, but he was still a bit shaken by the Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s blunt proposal.


    ¡°This¡­ I don¡¯t have any romantic feelings for Elder Sister Pei, and I am a man of few words who knows only cultivation and farming. I can¡¯t really be considered a good match, so I must decline!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it and decided to follow his heart, gently declining.


    This kind of matter required a firm decision; indecision would only lead to chaos. There was no need for ambiguity.


    As soon as he finished his statement, everyone present looked at him with astonished eyes. This was an offer of marriage from a Nascent Soul Superior, and Pei Qingshuang could grow to be as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Sage, potentially the future number one beauty of the Immortal Gate.


    Only the gaze by Chen Mobai¡¯s side was not one of shock, but of tenderness and trust.


    It was Qing Nu.


    Having spent so many years together, she had absolute confidence in Chen Mobai. She believed he was someone extremely proud, with neither family background nor beauty fitting his criteria for a spouse. The friends he chose to spend time with were soulmates with whom he shared mutual understanding.


    He would never treat someone differently for being useful!


    What about a fairy child like Pei Qingshuang!

    In Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, her place was certainly not as significant as Qing Nu¡¯s, and perhaps not even as high as Yan Bingxuan¡¯s.


    Thinking this way, Qing Nu felt that all the hardships she had endured in life were worth it for meeting Chen Mobai, a partner with whom she could share complete devotion.


    ¡°It¡¯s because of you that I am able to persevere in the bitter sea of the Immortal Gate.


    Qing Nu was an orphan, with her brother and sister gone, her teacher Gu Changfeng nearing death, she no longer had any family ties to hold onto in the Immortal Gate.


    The pillar of her heart was solely Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 997 - Chapter 997 Chapter 547 Return to the Sect

    Chapter 997: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect Chapter 997: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect ¡°You are the master of the Purple Electric Sword, and my daughter is the master of the Qing Shuang Sword. If you two practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book together and condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul will also greatly increase. Won¡¯t it be wonderful to be the next revered immortal couple like Qing Shi and Qing Jing, envied by all with your swords combined?¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage continued to persuade, which was her main reason for wanting Chen Mobai as her son-in-law.


    With her backing, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Core Formation would definitely not be a problem. Even if she failed this time, consuming some of her own Nascent Soul Superior¡¯s lifespan, she could still help Pei Qingshuang exchange for another Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    But when it comes to Baby-forming Spiritual Things, even she cannot provide Pei Qingshuang with a second portion.


    That is to say, if Pei Qingshuang cannot succeed in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in one go, she may have to stop at the Golden Core Realm for the rest of her life.


    And within the Immortal Gate, the best thing to increase the chances of Nascent Soul Formation and most suitable for Pei Qingshuang is to practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    Although her daughter has not yet communed with the Qing Shuang Sword, Peach Blossom Sage knows this is just a matter of time. As long as Pei Qingshuang can form her Gold Core, and her cultivation level gets higher, the hopeful Qing Shuang Sword will eventually submit.


    Purple Lightning Azure Frost combined, will allow one to draw upon the Two-yi Qi with even more composure and refine it into Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, something that even someone of Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s status knows.


    After reviewing the battle report of Lan Haitian¡¯s slaying of the Master Huakai, submitted by Peach Blossom Sage, she was utterly shocked to learn that Chen Mobai had already mastered the Sword Heart with the Purple Electric Sword.


    She was very aware of her daughter¡¯s talent in the Sword Dao. Although part of it was due to the Enlightenment Tea she provided as a special treatment, her daughter was only slightly behind the four geniuses such as Hao Cao and Nangong Xuanyu within the Immortal Gate.


    But compared to Chen Mobai, the gap was immense!


    It could only be said that the Qualification of Deification was terrifying indeed!


    Having her own daughter as a stark contrast, Peach Blossom Sage was fully convinced of Chen Mobai being the number one talent of the Immortal Gate.


    That was also one of the reasons she took on the mission at Red Sandstone City.


    To see if she could entice a distinguished son-in-law!


    ¡°I am deeply flattered by your high regard, Senior, but I feel that relying on external help for Nascent Soul Formation is not steady at its foundation, so I wish to achieve it on my own.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai had already refused from the beginning, he naturally wouldn¡¯t back down subsequently.


    However, he still thought of an excuse and expressed that, if he succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul in the future, without affecting the foundation, he would use the Purple Electric Sword to help Pei Qingshuang.


    Upon hearing this, Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s face turned colder.


    Forming Nascent Soul on his own!? What a joke!


    Even she, a Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant with profound roots, needed continuous drip irrigation of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations by the sages of the Jumang Academy to achieve Transformation.


    She admitted that the lad might possess the Qualification of Deification, but he was being overly confident to the point of arrogance.


    [It seems, I¡¯ll have to wait until he has suffered enough before trying to recruit him as a son-in-law again.]


    Peach Blossom Sage had a long lifespan and was confident she could wait until after Chen Mobai reached Golden Core Perfection and hit a wall before the Nascent Soul stage.


    Behind Peach Blossom Sage, there was a group of young men and women with youthful faces. Although all were at the Foundation Establishment level, one could tell at a glance that they were students of the Jumang Academy who hadn¡¯t yet left the Ivory Tower.


    At this moment, they all looked up to Chen Mobai with faces full of admiration.


    In the last twenty or thirty years, Chen Mobai was the legend within the Scholarly Mansion of the Daoist Academy and the target they aspired to chase.


    And today, after Chen Mobai decisively rejected Peach Blossom Sage, expressing his confidence in forming his own Nascent Soul, their shock and reverence grew even more.


    A stunning beauty and the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, none could make him lower his head or bend his eyebrows.


    Was this the confidence and Dao Heart of the number one talent of the Immortal Gate?


    ¡°If that is the case, I¡¯ll take over from here. You can leave.¡±


    After Chen Mobai reiterated his refusal, the previously smiling face of Peach Blossom Sage turned cold, and with a gentle wave of her sleeve, she turned and walked toward the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    How quickly she turns her face!


    Chen Mobai was a bit unaccustomed to Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s manner. Everyone in the Immortal Gate had always been polite to him.


    ¡°The Courtyard Head is just like that, rather straightforward. She doesn¡¯t like beating around the bush,¡± explained Qing Nu, who had approached and whispered in Chen Mobai¡¯s ear.


    Perhaps due to being a Spirit Plant undergoing Transformation, Peach Blossom Sage was at the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as she transformed, unlike the Narcissus Sage who had mingled in the Kunpeng Daoist Institute for ten years, being notably willful and speaking her mind.


    After all, she started as a Nascent Soul, and in the entire Immortal Gate, only the Huashen Ancestor could make her wary.


    So hearing Chen Mobai repeatedly decline her kindness, Peach Blossom Sage was naturally quite displeased.


    If it weren¡¯t for the presence of Ancestor Baiguang from the Dance Tool Dao Academy behind this young man, Peach Blossom Sage would definitely not have let it go so easily.

    But after hearing Peach Blossom Sage dismiss him, Chen Mobai was instead delighted.


    ¡°Then I will leave the rest to Senior. I appreciate your hard work.¡±


    After the polite exchange, Chen Mobai cheerfully packed his tea table and other items he had placed at the mountain¡¯s summit and left the area in high spirits.


    [This guy¡­]


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s manner, Peach Blossom Sage couldn¡¯t help but feel even more annoyed. Back in the Daoist Academy, just a look from her would make people underneath helpless yet smiling bitterly, and they would basically agree to whatever she wanted.


    ¡°Courtyard Head, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave as well.¡±

 Chapter 998 - Chapter 998 Chapter 547 Return to the Sect_2

    Chapter 998: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect_2 Chapter 998: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect_2 At this moment, Qing Nu also came over and asked Peach Blossom Sage a question.


    ¡°In a moment, we¡¯ll need to set up the Water Yuan Qing River Array, and I remember you have a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, which would be perfect to lend a hand.¡±


    However, Peach Blossom Sage stopped Qing Nu. This time she had brought a group of students from Jumang Academy, treating the task as a fieldwork internship. With the help of Qing Nu, an exceptional graduate, it would make things much easier for her.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, the smile on Qing Nu¡¯s face, which was there because Chen Mobai had refused Peach Blossom Sage, instantly collapsed, and she responded with a lowered head.


    ¡°Lan Haitian, you lead the people of the Immortal Gate to suppress the Fire Veins of Danxia Mountain with Spirit Nails at these locations. Once I direct the students to drive the Array Flags in, you can release them¡­¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage quickly started to give orders. With a sweep of her slender right hand through the air, a huge three-dimensional map materialized, vividly displaying the entire Danxia Mountain Range. Then, with a movement of her left hand, a blue-green Array Diagram emerged on top of the 3D map. Once the two overlaid each other, red and blue points began to light up.


    The red points indicated the Fire Vein Spirit Trees that Lan Haitian needed to suppress with Spirit Nails.


    The blue points indicated the locations where the Jumang Academy needed to insert the Array Flags.


    All present were at least Foundation Establishment Practitioners, and after Peach Blossom Sage explained once using the 3D diagram, they essentially had a firm grasp of the details.


    Then, through continuous coordination, they began to suppress the Fire Veins, the Spirit Plants, setting up the Large Formation, the Spiritual Pivot¡­


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked back and saw that the mountain was bustling with activity. He left with peace of mind assured that everything was under control.


    With Peach Blossom Sage overseeing the situation, even if the Shenyu Xuanzhu (Divine Control Pavilion Master) returned in person, nothing could go amiss!


    Moreover, because of the incident with Master Huakai, Red Sandstone City was probably now on the priority list of the Immortal Gate, and in the future, the Sky-Mending Group would definitely pay special attention to this place. Thus, there was no longer any need to worry about infiltration by members of the Ascension Sect.


    After leaving the Danxia Mountain Range, Chen Mobai made a trip back to Red Sandstone City.


    In addition to checking on his parents and family, he also wanted to find out if anyone he knew had been detained by Lan Haitian.


    He found quite a few.


    The principal of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Fifth High School, as well as several teachers who graduated from the two major local academies, were still being held.


    In addition to these Qi Cultivators, there was also Lu Hongsheng, his former desk-mate who had returned from military service and attended university at a local academy, and Shi Qujin, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner with whom Chen Mobai had a good relationship¡­


    After learning that Chen Mobai had returned, his high school homeroom teacher Chai Deyun, Lu Hongsheng¡¯s wife Yu Shu, his old classmate Shi Jingjing, and others came knocking with gifts in hand.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai was always personable, but since it concerned the Ascension Sect, he also needed to understand the situation.


    Chen Mobai waited two days until Lan Haitian came back from the Danxia Mountain Range, and he invited him for a meal.


    ¡°These have almost all been investigated and can be released.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian was very straightforward and released everyone except Shi Qujin the next day.


    ¡°The status of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner is different. If we are to release one, the procedure is much more complex and requires the approval and seal from the Department of Law Enforcement in Wangwu Cave Heaven. But rest assured, I have already spoken with Lan Haitian about this, asking him to expedite the process as much as possible.¡±


    Chen Mobai sat at home, facing Shi Jingjing, Cao Yaling, Shi Yuanqing, and Xu Yuan, as he spoke to the four of them.


    Shi Qujin, a graduate of the Red Dawn Institution, had rarely left Red Sandstone City, and as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, he was a key suspect and thus detained.


    Even though Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing were both Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had come personally for this matter, they were helpless.


    ¡°Thank you, old classmate, for helping to facilitate the connections.¡±


    As Shi Qujin¡¯s daughter, Shi Jingjing, kept thanking Chen Mobai when she left. She had married Xu Yuan, and neither of them had succeeded in Foundation Establishment. After returning, they held their wedding and now had a son and a daughter.


    Had it not been for the issue of Shi Qujin¡¯s detention, they would have been described as blissfully married.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Of course, Brother Shi and I have a good relationship. As long as it has nothing to do with the Ascension Sect, I will definitely help.¡±


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Mobai watched as his four old classmates left, feeling somewhat nostalgic.


    The scenes of their playful fights and jests in the classroom seemed like they were just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the vivacious and lovely Shi Jingjing had become a mature woman.


    Even as Foundation Establishment Practitioners, Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing were restrained and respectful in front of him, a sight that rendered Chen Mobai somewhat lonely.


    Time slipped away, and things could never go back to the way they were.


    Moved by these thoughts, Chen Mobai knew that the time he could spend with his family would grow less, so he took his parents back to Green Mountain Village to celebrate the Spring Festival with his grandparents.


    After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to Yu Wood City.


    He didn¡¯t go to see Gu Changfeng and continued to govern effortlessly as before.


    On the contrary, both Yu Wood City and Qing Sang Academy, having heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s splendid achievement of slaying Master Huakai with three sword strikes, took the initiative to visit him, inquiring if he had any instructions for the new year.


    To this, Chen Mobai announced everything would proceed as normal, then left behind a Formless Puppet and returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    His first act was to check on Luo Yixuan¡¯s Soul Lantern, and upon confirming his little disciple was still alive, he summoned Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Master, recently while tending to that black Spirit Plant, I heard an inexplicable voice offering me guidance¡­¡±


    After reporting her duties, Zhuo Ming hesitated and then revealed the matter of receiving pointers from Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°That is the Taoist voice of a predecessor. Listen to it, and if you have questions in the future, you can also confide in it. Perhaps you will receive answers.¡±


    Knowing it was Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai reassured Zhuo Ming, treating him as another teacher.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s permission, Zhuo Ming felt at ease. In the Tianhe Realm, even within the same sect, switching factions while your master is alive is a very serious matter.


    Liu Wenbo was not at Giant Tree Ridge; he had gone to the Ming Nation last year, arriving at the Hunyuan Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect before Chen Mobai.


    After meeting his disciples, Chen Mobai summoned Yue Zutao, who reported on some issues concerning the sect.


    The main concerns were Rock Country, Sky Country, and Rainbow Country, where resistance was more common due to being recently conquered territories. Fortunately, Town Guards from the sect had brought many disciples with them, and being backed by the Divine Wood Sect, they were able to bring Foundation Establishment Practitioners over at any time, and the situation was now mostly under control.


    ¡°In Rock Country, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has sent another Golden Core Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang, who, with Treasure Color Mountain¡¯s Nanxuan Sect at the core, is gradually nibbling away at the Loose Cultivators using Foundation Building Pills. Sect Leader, what do you think is the best way to handle this?¡±


    In the end, Yue Zutao brought up an issue he couldn¡¯t handle on his own.


    Another Golden Core? Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He was tempted to take up his sword and go to Rock Country and cut down Fang Xuanyang, but remembering Zhou Shengqing had not yet achieved his Legal Body Nascent Soul and that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had real Nascent Soul Cultivators, he soon calmed down.


    Maybe this Fang Xuanyang was sent by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace specifically to test whether Zhou Shengqing had achieved his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    ¡°I will write a letter; you deliver it to E Yun.¡±


    After a moment of thought, Chen Mobai decided to smash Nanxuan Sect on the field of commerce, squarely and fairly.


    After Yue Zutao left, Chen Mobai began his seclusion in the Longevity Wood Dojo.


    With a continuous supply of Top-grade Spirit Stones, he significantly accelerated the speed of enhancing his Golden Flame with the Ignition Technique. In just a short month, he had condensed the nine Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a fist-sized Golden Flame.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This mass of Golden Flame was precisely the minimum requirement to use the Flame Sun Slash.


    That day, as those in Divine Wood City, including Yue Zutao, worked in their offices, they suddenly felt two strong and violent fluctuations of Spiritual Energy coming from the direction of the Everlife Wood, followed by a warm wind. The snow on the rooftops instantly melted into water, a scene that surprised them all.


    Among them, only Xie Yuntian of the Sword Training Department seemed to realize something.


    He looked toward the Longevity Wood Dojo where Chen Mobai was located and couldn¡¯t help but feel awed!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 999 - Chapter 999 Chapter 548 The Traveling Party

    Chapter 999: Chapter 548: The Traveling Party Chapter 999: Chapter 548: The Traveling Party ¡°Junior Brother, your Flame Sun Slash is truly formidable!¡±


    Above the Everlife Wood, Fu Zongjue summoned back the Golden Sun Puppet from midair, its body charred black, with a hint of shock in his voice.


    Although the puppet suffered no substantial damage, the Rank-3 Divine Wood Shield it wielded had a deep sword mark that reached the core, inflicting essential damage. Even if it were repaired, it would drop in grade.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just perfected it and can¡¯t quite control the power yet, causing Senior Brother to lose a Magic Artifact.¡±


    Chen Mobai said apologetically, while condensing a stream of glittering golden flames in his palm.


    ¡°It¡¯s only a Divine Wood Shield. I still have three spare ones in my storage bag; it¡¯s no trouble at all.¡±


    Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t mind at all. With practiced movements, he removed the near-shattered Divine Wood Shield from the right hand of his Golden Sun Puppet and replaced it with an identical piece.


    The Divine Wood Sect may not have much else, but it certainly has an abundance of Wood Attribute Spirit Materials.


    As a Core Formation Ancestor of the sect, he had access to all the top-ranked materials of the sect.


    Fu Zongjue had mined plenty of Golden Sun Spirit Trees to create his Rank-3 puppets, and even cut off some branches from his own Fourth Order Everlife Wood to use in the core parts of the puppets.


    These puppets, used for battle, naturally need to be equipped with wooden armors, Wooden Swords, Wooden Shields, and other such Magic Artifacts.


    All of these were made by the sect¡¯s Artifact Refining Department from the Third Rank Superior Grade Golden Sun Spirit Wood. Even if the Artifact Refining skill was second-rate, just the grade of the materials piled up to Rank-3.


    In Fu Zongjue¡¯s Storage Bag, besides some easily damaged puppet parts, the rest were these Rank-3 Wood Attribute Magic Artifacts.


    So after losing one, Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit of pain.


    It¡¯s just that the power of the Flame Sun Slash was a bit beyond expectation. After penetrating the Divine Wood Shield, although controlled by Chen Mobai, a bit of the fiery force still seeped into the Golden Sun Puppet.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Golden Sun Spirit Wood had undergone the tempering of Qingyang Fire during its transformation and inherently had resistance to fire, it probably wouldn¡¯t just have a charred surface after enduring the Flame Sun Slash but would instead be ablaze.


    While Fu Zongjue polished the puppet¡¯s surface, Chen Mobai took the exchanged Divine Wood Shield for inspection.


    He touched the profound sword mark left by the Flame Sun Slash, the intense burning heat still lingering within. If he didn¡¯t possess a Fire Spirit Body, any other Foundation Establishment Practitioner touching it would likely have their fingertips melted in an instant.


    ¡°With the cultivation of the early Golden Core Stage, to master the Red Flame Sword Jue to completion, Junior Brother¡¯s talent in the Sword Dao truly deserves to be called the best in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    As Fu Zongjue watched the ball of golden flame in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, gentle as a water droplet and responsive like an extension of his arm, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in amazement.


    This Sword technique had been passed down in the Five Elements Sect until now, and only Ancestor Hunyuan, who cultivated the Five Elements simultaneously, had reached such a realm before.


    Because Sheng Zhaoxi of the Fire Vein did not favor swordsmanship, he cultivated another art called the Great Sun¡¯s True Fire Art instead.


    And Mo Douguang, who was skilled in swordsmanship and had also tried five elements cultivation to Cultivate into Chaotic Dao Fruit, only managed to condense a wisp of Golden Flame after many years and stopped progressing due to the difficulty of control, as he did not possess a Fire Spirit Body.


    Hence, Chen Mobai¡¯s current achievement in the Red Flame Sword Jue could already be claimed as the best in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that within our sect, there isn¡¯t enough Green Wood Evil; at most, I can cultivate two balls of Golden Flame¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a hint of regret. With the Ignition Technique, as long as there is enough Spiritual Power, he could endlessly produce Qingyang Fire, but another crucial component, Green Wood Evil, had already been depleted by him.


    Giant Tree Ridge already possessed the most abundant Green Wood Evil in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In former days¡¯ twenty-one strands of Green Wood Evil, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s meteoric rise, Xie Yuntian reluctantly conceded time and again, changing from extreme unwillingness to willing consent. Besides the two strands he condensed himself, all the rest were given to Chen Mobai.


    Out of the nineteen strands of Green Flame Sword Sha Chen Mobai condensed, one was formed into the Green Flame Sword Talisman, bestowed to Luo Yixuan for protection; two were burnt to exhaustion in a Magic Duel through the use of the Flame Explosion Technique, so initially, only sixteen remained.


    But Giant Tree Ridge, due to its bountiful geographical environment, generates a strand of Green Wood Evil every two years or so, adding eight more over the years.


    Given his positions as Sect Leader and Core Formation Ancestor, he naturally had priority in using them.


    It¡¯s just a pity that even if he condensed all of them into Green Flames Sword Shaolu, according to the standard of combining nine into one ball of Golden Flame, Chen Mobai could at most cultivate two balls.


    And if he truly wished to reach the peak of the Red Flame Sword Jue¡¯s Extreme Sun Slash, he would have to wait another hundred years for the generation of Green Wood Evil.


    For Chen Mobai, who always prefers to use resources to accelerate his cultivation speed, this is somewhat hard to accept.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Although in the Eastern Wilderness, Giant Tree Ridge has the most Green Wood Evil, other sects and cultivator families have these kinds of Evil Qi resources, too. Junior Brother can use the sect¡¯s name to make purchases.¡±


    Fu Zongjue naturally wished for Chen Mobai to cultivate the Extreme Sun Slash as soon as possible. It was a consistent Rank-4 move, and no one in the entire Eastern Wilderness would dare to face this sword!


    ¡°Senior Brother and I think alike. I¡¯ve already instructed Yue Zutao to handle this matter. It¡¯s just unfortunate that many of the purchased Green Wood Evils are below Rank-2 in quality.¡±


    Chen Mobai had also immediately thought of using Spirit Stones to buy Green Wood Evil from other powers.


    However, those cultivator families, due to limited heritage, mostly had Earthly Fiendish Qi of Rank-1 grade.

 Chapter 1000 - Chapter 1000 Chapter 548 Outing Team_2

    Chapter 1000: Chapter 548: Outing Team_2 Chapter 1000: Chapter 548: Outing Team_2 Chen Mobai also asked Ma Gang from the Spirit Vein Division to arrange for the Earth Masters of the sect to search the dense forests scattered across the Eastern Wilderness for Green Wood Evil. For Rank-2 Green Wood Evil discovered, aside from one thousand sect contribution points, he was willing to offer an additional one thousand Spirit Stones as a reward.


    ¡°I remember that Back to Sky Valley has Rank-2 Green Wood Evil. After all, the first medicine field in the Eastern Wilderness belongs to them, and they have the conditions to nurture the Earthly Fiendish Qi. When you visit, junior brother, you can mention this matter. Yan Shaoyin must be a frightened bird right now and will not refuse you,¡±


    Fu Zongjue suggested another idea. After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up, and he nodded.


    If he couldn¡¯t find enough Green Wood Evil throughout the Eastern Wilderness, then Chen Mobai would have to resort to the last method.


    He would pass down the technique for artificially creating Earthly Fiendish Qi used by the Immortal Gate.


    At the Repairing Heaven Institute, he didn¡¯t just learn about governance, warfare, commerce, finance, and other knowledge. He also accompanied Yan Bingxuan in studying the famous Yuanqi system courses, especially the content on artificially creating Earthly Fiendish Qi, which he researched intensively.


    After all, considering the need to launder the origin of Earthly Fiendish Qi here in the Tianhe Realm, this was the simplest method.


    Because Green Wood Evil is one of the seven Earthly Fiendish Qi that the Immortal Gate can mine, there was an abundance of research material. As such, various organizations within the Immortal Gate have completed the experiments of artificial synthesis, and the theory is already perfect.


    However, would the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect be willing to sacrifice their hard-earned Spiritual Power to convert it into the base Five Elements Essence needed for Green Wood Evil?


    This concern was the only thing Chen Mobai worried about. After all, cultivators in the Tianhe Realm place great importance on cultivation level and realm, and converting Spiritual Power into Five Elements Essence can cause delays in their cultivation.


    Possibly many Divine Wood Sect disciples, who aspire to the great Dao, would not be willing to undertake such a task.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking was progressive. If the sect could not collect enough Five Elements Essence internally, he would then spread the task to the seven subordinate nations, dozens of Cultivator families, and countless Loose Cultivators. Surely, someone would be willing in exchange for Spirit Stones, elixirs, Magic Artifacts, and other resources.


    He was firmly convinced that even in the Tianhe Realm, as long as the price was high enough, people could be persuaded.


    Having tested the Flame Sun Slash with Fu Zongjue, confirming it had the power of a Third Rank Superior Grade, Chen Mobai set his mind at ease and continued to condense the second orb of Golden Flame.


    Time flew swiftly, and soon a month had passed.


    In the Shenmu Hall!


    Chen Mobai stood with one hand on his chest and the other behind his back. In the palm of his hand were two orbs of Golden Flame glowing like brilliant golden spheres, which he twirled continuously, reminiscent of the eternal motion of Tai Chi.


    The Vice Hall Masters and department heads from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions who stood in two flanking rows watched this scene with furrowed brows, their faces filled with trepidation.


    The hallmark of the Great Achievement of Red Flame Sword Art, this spectacle had already been spread throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect by the mouth of Xie Yuntian over these days.


    Everyone knew that the explosive power of one of these orbs of Golden Flame was enough to incinerate half of Divine Wood City.


    Before long, Yin Qingmei and Mu Yuan, who had been summoned, stepped into the hall. After paying their respects to Chen Mobai, they too retreated to a position closest to the door with pallid faces.


    The two were highly sensitive to the Golden Flame, as they had both grasped the essence of the Longevity Scripture and had outstanding, if not excellent, Wood Spirit Roots.


    The feeling was akin to that of a child, uninitiated in cultivation, who had encountered tigers and wolves in the wilderness, instilling a sense of dread.


    ¡°For this trip, where I will be visiting the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, Mu Shizhe, Xi Shizhe, and Yin Shizhe will accompany me. Consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons,¡±


    As the sound of Chen Mobai¡¯s voice fell, Mu Yuan, Xi Jinghuo, and Yin Qingmei each stepped forward and nodded in agreement.


    These three were the ones among the Foundation Establishment members left in the sect, apart from Zhuo Ming, with the greatest hopes for Core Formation. As the Sect Leader, it was natural for Chen Mobai to cultivate them properly.


    In fact, Chen Mobai also wanted to bring Zhuo Ming along. Having a disciple who understood his preferences and could provide thoughtful care would make the journey much more comfortable.


    But he reconsidered, thinking of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Spirit Field Spirit Rice experiment, the transplanted Immortal Peach Tree, the Enlightenment White Tea, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Soul Nourishing Wood ¨C all these could not do without Zhuo Ming. It would be better to leave this precious disciple back in the sect.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai did not consider himself incapable of enduring hardship and did not need constant attendance.


    Once in Ming Nation, he would reunite with his senior disciple Liu Wenbo which meant he would only need to endure by himself in the Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai found himself particularly missing Luo Yixuan, his younger disciple.


    With her by his side, there would be no need for such worries.


    ¡°After I leave, Nephew Yue will have the hard task of staying behind to act as Sect Leader in my stead and manage all the affairs of the sect,¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Yue Zutao immediately stepped forward from the left row, accepted the command, and then bowed to the people of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    With Chen Mobai as their backing, everyone was respectful and reciprocated the gesture.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, as the face of our Divine Wood Sect, bringing only three people seems insufficient. Coincidentally, my disciple Li Yixian has also succeeded in Foundation Establishment a few years ago. Why not let him accompany you to gain some worldly experience, and he can assist by handling some miscellaneous tasks under your command.¡±


    After delegating all the tasks, An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Division, stood out, wanting to include his own disciple in the travel party as well.


    He had realized that the persons Chen Mobai brought with him were all the most promising in the sect. If Li Yixian could join them, even if he couldn¡¯t reach the step of Core Formation in the future, at least he¡¯d be able to build good relationships with the sect¡¯s cultivators who might reach that stage.


    An Jinghui was one of those rare masters in the Tianhe Realm who genuinely considered his disciple¡¯s future.


    Chen Mobai had a decent relationship with him and also had a good impression of Li Yixian, the slightly chubby disciple, who had served under his command during the campaign at Shake Mountain Peak, so he nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Little did he know that with this nod, the rest quickly caught on and began introducing their own disciples and relatives to Chen Mobai, also hoping to join the delegation to visit the East Wilderness Major Sects.


    Since Chen Mobai had made this concession, he naturally had to treat everyone equally.


    ¡°Each of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions shall send one person; report the list to Yue Zutao. We set out early tomorrow morning.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai left Shenmu Hall with Zhuo Ming.


    After seeing him out respectfully, the crowd immediately turned and surrounded Yue Zutao.


    ¡°Sect Leader, here is this month¡¯s Longevity Tree Sap!¡±


    After returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo with Zhuo Ming, a female cultivator with an air of clear and elegant spiritual water respectfully approached and handed him a snow-white porcelain bottle.


    ¡°Thank you, Gu Yan, for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled as he took the bottle and nodded to Gu Yan.


    In the entire Divine Wood Sect, aside from his own disciples, only Gu Yan had free access to his dojo. Occasionally, when there was a sudden errand or someone to be summoned, Chen Mobai would have her run the task.


    Because of this, within the Divine Wood Sect, Gu Yan was seen as half a disciple and a maid of Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai handed the bottle of Longevity Tree Sap to Zhuo Ming beside him.


    ¡°Take this to the Alchemy Department later and have Zeng Woyou and Yan Shimai refine it into Longevity Dew.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t forgotten about nurturing his Longevity Dao Body. With Gu Yan¡¯s continuous harvesting and condensing of Longevity Tree Sap, he felt very hopeful about reaching great achievement in this Body Forging Technique.


    The creation of the Longevity Dew was an ancient alchemy recipe, and Zeng Woyou had already failed to make it twice.


    But now that Chen Mobai had ample resources, such a loss was just a slight heartache.


    After the master and disciple talked for a while, Zhuo Ming left.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to head to his own wooden hut, Gu Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°Oh, what is it?¡±


    But now that Chen Mobai had ample resources, such a loss was just a slight heartache.

    After the master and disciple talked for a while, Zhuo Ming left.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to head to his own wooden hut, Gu Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°Oh, what is it?¡±


    This group also included some of the most distinguished people in the sect: Li Yixian, Jiang Zongheng, Lian Maozhi, Gu Yan, Xi Jinghuo, and Ding Ying

 Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1001 Chapter 549 Classification of Teleportation

    Chapter 1001: Chapter 549: Classification of Teleportation Arrays (Monthly Ticket Bonus 4) Chapter 1001: Chapter 549: Classification of Teleportation Arrays (Monthly Ticket Bonus 4) On the day of departure, Chen Mobai opened his eyes in his wooden hut, and the semi-transparent skeletons swirling around him slowly faded away.


    Glancing at the dry Void Stone in his palm, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    Due to the lack of Green Wood Evil, he could only pause his cultivation of the Golden Flame temporarily.


    After the routine cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, Pure Yang Daoist Body, and the Precious Golden Light, and with the Longevity Dew not yet refined, he devoted the remaining time to the cultivation of the All Laws Persona.


    After becoming the Sect Leader, this was the perk¨Che could exchange for any resource available within the sect using contribution points.


    The price of the Void Stone was roughly equivalent to that of a Rank-3 Life Stone, about three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones. As Sect Leader, Chen Mobai could exchange three pieces for ten thousand sect contribution points at a slight discount.


    Having surmounted the Core Formation realm, Chen Mobai¡¯s account had long since surpassed a million contribution points, so exchanging for Void Stones didn¡¯t even make him blink; he directly exchanged for ninety-nine pieces.


    He did not exchange for more, not because he did not want to, but because there were only a hundred pieces in stock in the sect¡¯s treasury.


    However, he was not worried about running out of Void Stones, since the Void Mysterious Stone Mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge was conservatively estimated to be exploitable for another decade or so.


    He had also instructed Luo Xue¡¯er to set aside the Void Stones yielded from this year¡¯s Spirit Vein Division for him. By then, he estimated that besides the spine, he might be able to condense the entire skeletal network of the All Laws Persona with the Void Stones.


    If there were any surplus upon completing the All Laws Persona, they could also be used to elevate his own Golden Core Domain.


    While mulling over his cultivation matters, he put the dried-up Void Stone into the storage bag designated for trash and rose from his wooden hut.


    As he opened the door and stepped onto the ground, he found that Gu Yan was already waiting there.


    Zhuo Ming was present, too.


    Today, Chen Mobai was set to lead a team from the Divine Wood Sect to visit the Snow-blowing Palace in Snow Country, and as his disciple, Zhuo Ming naturally came to see him off.


    When they arrived at the Teleportation Array at Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai noticed that the rest of the team had already gathered.


    In addition to Mu Yuan, Yin Qingmei, Xi Jinghuo, and Li Yixian, confirmed the previous day, there were others pushed in by the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    However, many were just True Disciples, and among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners were only Lian Maozhi, Jiang Zongheng, and Ding Ying.


    When Chen Mobai approached, Ding Ying hardly dared to breathe; she did not wish to come, but Cao Lian, the head of the Talisman Making Department, had chosen her.


    Although Ding Ying had the right to refuse, she dared not.


    It wasn¡¯t that she was afraid of defying Cao Lian¨Cwho, although in a high and powerful position, was not as significant as the fact Ding Ying was now a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and could secure cultivation resources with her excellent talisman-making skills, even if she left the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    The main reason was that she knew refusing to join the team visiting the East Wilderness Major Sect under the opportunity presented would make many feel that she did not respect Elder Chen.


    Even if Chen Mobai was magnanimous, others might henceforth be wary of her, or even avoid associating with her.


    Having learned that troubles with the young are hard to deal with during her more than thirty years in the Talisman Making Department, Ding Ying was all too aware of this.


    She suspected that Cao Lian was hoping for her to refuse so she could be portrayed as someone who opposed Elder Chen.


    The reason why Cao Lian targeted Ding Ying was very clear to her; it was because Ding Ying had offended both Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming when she was an ignorant Qi Cultivation practitioner.


    In the past, it didn¡¯t amount to much, but after Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, those incidents became a thorn in Cao Lian¡¯s side. Fearing that Ding Ying would bring trouble upon her, Cao Lian had always been plotting to drive her out of the department; this time it was an open scheme.


    After mulling it over, Ding Ying, despite seeing through the ploy, had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.


    For if she refused, she would find it difficult to progress in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Yet, by going, she felt that a figure as astonishing as Chen Mobai would surely be true to his word, and since he had said past grievances were settled, they were certainly settled.


    Sure enough, when Chen Mobai arrived, he smiled at each of them, and his gaze didn¡¯t linger intentionally when he saw Ding Ying; he greeted everyone equally.


    ¡°Mu, since you established your Foundation first, you will be in charge of commanding them,¡± Chen Mobai designated the second-in-command of the team, and Mu Yuan nodded in acknowledgement.


    There were 18 people waiting there in total, 7 at Foundation Establishment and 11 True Disciples at Qi Cultivation level. Mu Yuan did not count Gu Yan, who was with Chen Mobai, even considering her the real second-in-command of the team, given her status as the close associate of the Elder.


    Before they left, Chen Mobai finished speaking with Yue Zutao and others, then turned to Zhuo Ming and admonished, ¡°It will be hard on you with Xiao Nanshan and the Longevity Wood Dojo.¡±


    In Tianhe Realm, disciples are oftentimes closer than sons and daughters. When the master travels far, the disciple left behind to guard the home is usually the designated heir.


    But Chen Mobai had more than once publicly acknowledged that Zhuo Ming was like a child to him.


    Everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knew that Zhuo Ming was the most valued and cherished disciple of Chen Mobai.


    After the master and disciple finished speaking, the light from the Teleportation Array began to grow bright.


    Having just cultivated the All Laws Persona with the Void Stone, Chen Mobai was in an exceptionally sensitive phase towards the Power of Void and felt an indescribable harmony during the transmission.


    Amid the flashing silver light, they had already teleported to Yuhu Market.


    In the Tianhe Realm, Teleportation Arrays are divided into small, medium, and large scales.


    Of this, the vast majority employed are small Teleportation Arrays, with a range that allows for connectivity between markets within a single nation.


    ¡°`


    But even so, the minimum cost of setting up a Small Teleportation Array is at least one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Plus, the subsequent activation and maintenance, as well as the replacement of Spirit Stones and Void Stones, make it quite costly.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, only those cultivator families who own a Teleportation Array are considered to have real status, as this means they have the ability to escape at any moment, ensuring high levels of safety.


    As for the Medium Transmission Formation, it can cross between nations, and in the entire Eastern Wilderness there were only two, both set up during the time of Ancestor Hunyuan.


    One is located in the Hunyuan Immortal City, and the other in Wind Rain Hamlet within Cloud Dream Ze.


    Together, these two covered all the territories of the now-gone Five Elements Sect, allowing travel across half of the Eastern Wilderness in an instant.


    The cost for each Medium Transporting Formation is over one million Spirit Stones, and every teleportation consumes a whole Void Stone, so they are generally not activated unless absolutely necessary.


    As for the Large-scale Transmission Array, it¡¯s almost mythical in the Eastern Wilderness, able to cross between domains, with the only known one being located at the Sun Bathing Sea of the East Barbarians.


    Therefore, whenever the Star Heaven Dao Sect of East Yu sends their commerce delegation, they always appear at the Golden Crow Immortal City, as it is connected by a Large-scale Transmission Array, saving a lot of time.


    Chen Mobai contemplated setting up a Medium Transporting Formation for the Divine Wood Sect during his term to ensure that in the event of war, Giant Tree Ridge could quickly reach Rock Country.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, such arrays are monopolized by the major sects.


    The Divine Wood Sect doesn¡¯t have the capability to set up its own arrays, and its Small Teleportation Arrays had all been purchased during commerce guild auctions.


    The two Medium Transmission Formations of the Five Elements Sect were also set up by high-level experts from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, courtesy of the favor of Baiwu Ancestor from the Sun Bathing Sea.


    If one wanted to set up a Medium Transporting Formation for the Divine Wood Sect, there was simply no way to do so within the Eastern Wilderness.


    Above these three types, it is said that there is an even larger type of Teleportation Array that can cross the entirety of the six domains of East Land, and even transport outside the borders of East Land. However, only the Holy Lands, which control the entire East Yu, possess such a foundation; not even the Star Heaven Dao Sect has it.


    At Yuhu Market, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, has already arrived with several others to wait here.


    Chen Mobai did not linger and after exchanging a few words with Fu Xiuzuo, he gave the signal to activate the Teleportation Array again.


    After several successive teleports, they arrived at the White Moon Market.


    Past there lies Snow Country.


    Bai Dingxian was waiting for them at the Teleportation Array with his clan members. Besides him, there was another person familiar to Chen Mobai.


    It was Xue Ting.


    She was in charge of welcoming them, since they were about to enter the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace.


    After exchanging a few pleasantries with Bai Dingxian, Chen Mobai teleported again in the company of Xue Ting.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen¡¯s personal visit truly brings honor and glory to our sect!¡±


    In Snow Country, another of Chen Mobai¡¯s acquaintances was already waiting with two teams of graceful, fair-skinned female cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Elder Lan still looks as young and beautiful as ever,¡± said Chen Mobai with a smile to Lan Lingping, who modestly welcomed him out of the Teleportation Array. The female cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace were also dutifully attending to everyone in Mu Yuan¡¯s group to ensure each person received a proper welcome.


    ¡°Since True Person Kong is at a crucial moment in her cultivation, I won¡¯t disturb her,¡± Chen Mobai said after being escorted to the Snow-blowing Palace and discussing with Sect Leader Zhu Jinyu a while, expressing his regret upon learning Kong Lingling was in seclusion.


    However, his main aim had been to visit the Five Elements Sect, so stopping by the Snow-blowing Palace was merely incidental.


    It was even better that Kong Lingling wasn¡¯t appearing, as it saved him the dilemma of having to deal with future conflicts much less awkwardly.


    Thinking thus, Chen Mobai nonetheless maintained his outward cordiality.


    Over the next few days, he discussed the ongoing border disputes with Zhu Jinyu. These issues had led to several wars between Jian Country and Snow Country, the secular dynasties involved.


    Although Divine Wood Sect and Snow-blowing Palace never officially entered the battlefield, they did invite numerous disciples to aid in the struggle, and for decades there had been continuous skirmishes along the border.


    For the true disciples of both sects, it was a way to make a name for themselves. Dominating the opposition would instantly make one famous across half of the Eastern Wilderness.


    In the past, before Hong He became a true disciple, he had defeated twelve true disciples from the Snow-blowing Palace on the border of Jian Country and Snow Country, ultimately even drawing out Bai Cai, the youngest disciple of Kong Lingling, who could only barely manage a stalemate.


    As a result, Hong He¡¯s fame soared, and after becoming the foremost true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, he was named alongside the other four as the Five Colored Immortals of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Unfortunately, Ji Dao Yuan from Shake Mountain Peak had just achieved Foundation Establishment when he met Chen Mobai and was killed by a single sword strike.


    Huangfu Gan of Liu Jia Mountain failed in his Foundation Establishment, growing despondent, and now spends his days drowning in alcohol, becoming a shell of his former self.

    The once-celebrated Five Colored Immortals of the Eastern Wilderness now dwindled to merely three.


    It remains to be seen whether any will achieve Core Formation.


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, his gaze fell upon a strikingly beautiful young girl next to Zhu Jinyu, with naturally arched brows, unadorned beauty, and a cascade of blue hair falling smoothly down her perfect back to her waist, accentuating her tall figure and long legs.


    She was none other than Bai Cai, whose clear eyes were also fixed on Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 1002 - Chapter 1002 Chapter 550 The Opportunity for Chen Mobais

    Chapter 1002: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Chen Mobai¡¯s Enlightenment Chapter 1002: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Chen Mobai¡¯s Enlightenment Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze met Bai Cai¡¯s, and he smiled slightly. The latter seemed a little stunned before he quickly nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, could it be that the border line is somewhat inappropriate?¡±


    Zhu Jinyu¡¯s voice was somewhat soft as she spoke. Facing Chen Mobai, the only Golden Core Cultivator and Sect Leader in the Eastern Wilderness, she tried her best to demonstrate the dignity befitting the Sect Leader of the Snow-blowing Palace, being unwilling to concede on the matter of the border line.


    ¡°These boundaries were set by Ancestor Hunyuan and agreed upon by True Person Kong. Does Sect Leader Zhu not know of this or do you perhaps believe that the limits set by the Five Elements Sect are not something our Divine Wood Sect is qualified to inherit?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the map he had brought with him. He was still smiling, but his tone had grown colder.


    ¡°You exaggerate the matter, Sect Master Chen. Yet this particular place has been settled by quite a few villagers from Snow Country for four or five generations. If the border line is drawn there, those who cherish their home and land would find it extremely difficult to relocate. Should it lead to unrest, turmoil would again reign in the mortal world, and if that sparks another war between the two nations, I¡¯m afraid it would result in a bloody conflict,¡± Zhu Jinyu said, using an excuse she had thought through well in advance. When Ancestor Hunyuan was around, the entire Eastern Wilderness had to look to him for their very survival, naturally resulting in boundaries that were particularly unfavorable to the Snow-blowing Palace.


    In later years, taking advantage of the division within the Five Elements Sect, the Snow-blowing Palace hinted for the mortal dynasty of Snow Country to extend the borders substantially towards Yun Country and Lei Nation.


    At that time, the Divine Wood Sect was too preoccupied with the war against the main branch of the Five Elements Sect to take notice, and later on, to prevent Kong Lingling from siding with the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing even made a personal visit to the Snow-blowing Palace.


    The two Nascent Soul Ancestors discussed many matters and agreed that the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s occupied territories of Yun Country and Lei Nation would belong to Snow Country, with the Divine Wood Sect not pursuing the matter. Kong Lingling also agreed not to intervene in the internal conflict of the Five Elements Sect, ensuring that those disciples of Ancestor Hunyuan could fight their battle unencumbered.


    However, at the time, considering Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang might not be a match for Zhou Xu and his party, Kong Lingling, to avoid being held accountable by the Five Elements Sect in their possible defeat, ensured all agreements were verbal.


    Therefore, even though Zhu Jinyu knew that the border lines were agreed upon by Zhou Shengqing and Kong Lingling, she dare not mention it openly.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, agreements that were not put down in writing and bound by oaths were often taken lightly and faces could be turned with no recognition.


    It was precisely because of this that, although she was on her own territory, Zhu Jinyu felt cornered by the pressure from Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Over the years, whether the Eastern Wilderness was chaotic or not was all determined by the Divine Wood Sect.


    She deeply feared that if her tone was too firm, Chen Mobai, who had led the Divine Wood Sect through many battles to the south and north and had acquired the moniker of a war deity, might become displeased and lose his temper.


    Yet to simply return the territory that had been occupied and developed as their own for seventy to eighty years without any fight, Zhu Jinyu was highly reluctant.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for Sect Leader Zhu to worry about that. As long as you return the border line, the Divine Wood Sect will naturally arrange for someone to guide and educate the people, ensuring that there will be no unrest under your jurisdiction in Snow Country,¡± Chen Mobai reiterated.


    As a cultivator born of an Immortal Gate, he knew all too well that a centralized power was the most capable of development and bringing quiet and peace to all beings.


    The Divine Wood Sect now occupied one-third of the Eastern Wilderness, and his goal during his tenure as Sect Leader was to cultivate two more Golden Core Cultivators within the sect and then bring the whole northern region of the Eastern Wilderness under his sect¡¯s control.


    Currently, the northern Eastern Wilderness was occupied by two powers¨Cthe Snow-blowing Palace and the Nanxuan Sect.


    Among these, since the Nanxuan Sect was backed by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, and Zhou Shengqing had not transformed into an Embodiment Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai could only focus on developing his own sect¡¯s power and suppress the other with various methods other than outright force.


    Compared to the Nanxuan Sect, the Snow-blowing Palace was much weaker.


    However, since Zhou Shengqing had made an agreement with Kong Lingling, without a solid pretext, they would not engage in mutual aggression and invasion.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai was a person who favored peace, and he wondered if it was possible to use non-military means to pressure and gradually erode the Snow-blowing Palace, introducing their territories into the Divine Wood Sect with a divide and conquer strategy.


    This was also the second decree of the new policy Chen Mobai had set after he took over as Sect Leader.


    The so-called new policy could be summarized in four words: Unify the Eastern Wilderness!


    However, Chen Mobai was aware that this new policy seemed too grand for many cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, so up to this point, he had only shared it with a select few like Yue Zutao.


    He had always been very disciplined, and upon arriving in the Tianhe Realm and setting foot in the Eastern Wilderness, after witnessing the chaos here, the idea had been continuously in his mind.


    Over twenty years had passed, and he came to understand the Eastern Wilderness better and better. The original idea turned into a firm belief over this extended period!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He intended to end the chaos of the Eastern Wilderness and bring an unprecedented peace to this land that had suffered from constant warfare and where mortals were treated like livestock.


    To this day, Chen Mobai finally possessed the power and influence to implement this ideal!


    As long as he continued to advance towards this goal, one day, the Eastern Wilderness would transform into the ¡°Little Immortal Gate¡± of his vision.


    He wasn¡¯t sure if it was an illusion or something else.


    The moment Chen Mobai ascended to the position of Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, all those past scattered thoughts in his mind merged into the four words: Unify the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 1003 - Chapter 1003 Chapter 550 The Opportunity for Enlightenment of

    Chapter 1003: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Enlightenment of Chen Mobai_2 Chapter 1003: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Enlightenment of Chen Mobai_2 ¡°`


    At that time, he felt very clearly the opportunity for enlightenment that was within his grasp.


    If he were still a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and had unified the Eastern Wilderness, then he would have been able to attain enlightenment upon his achievement and form his Golden Core, just like the Head of Immortal Affairs did.


    [Where the heart goes, there lies the path!]


    This was the summary within the Immortal Gate of enlightenment leading to Golden Core formation, a concept Chen Mobai had read about before forming his own core, having once dreamt that such a possibility might exist for him.


    Regrettably, after reading more than a dozen books on the topic, he was still thoroughly perplexed.


    But after becoming the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he gradually came to understand.


    Perhaps it was because his realm had risen, or perhaps he really had attained some insight.


    It was just that he didn¡¯t know what good attaining enlightenment at the level of Golden Core formation would do for him.


    When he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had acquired the ¡°Fire Spirit Body,¡± which greatly aided him in cultivating the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and forming his core.


    Being even superior to acquiring the way, could enlightenment help him comprehend the mysteries of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±?


    Chen Mobai entertained some beautiful thoughts, but at least they gave him even more drive to realize his ideals in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the matters at the border involve Ancestor Hunyuan, True Person Zhou Shengqing, and my own master, True Person Kong, to avoid affecting the cultivation realm of the True Persons of our respective sects, it would be better to resolve this through a traditional Eastern Wilderness magic duel,¡± said Bai Cai, who stood out from Zhu Jinyu¡¯s side and caught Chen Mobai¡¯s attention as soon as she spoke.


    ¡°Oh, so this is the niece Bai who is famed alongside my sect¡¯s niece Hong, truly worthy of being a direct disciple of True Person Kong. So young, yet already at the peak of Foundation Establishment Late Phase, the younger generation truly is to be feared,¡± remarked Chen Mobai after Bai Cai¡¯s intervention.


    The legend of the Five-Colored Immortal Seeds left behind by Ancestor Hunyuan, who dabbled in the witchcraft division, speculated about the future of the Eastern Wilderness. He used a secret treasure left by his master, True Lord Yuan, to divine before leaving the First Origin Dao Palace, mainly wanting to see the opportunities for breakthrough for himself.


    But instead, he glimpsed a future for the Eastern Wilderness where five peerless geniuses, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements, would rise, lifting the Eastern Wilderness and even the surrounding territories of the East Barbarians and Dongwu to unprecedented heights.


    If Ancestor Hunyuan were to live to see that time and manage to bring these Five-Colored Immortal Seeds under his wing, he could even use their Five Elements Spiritual Power to elevate the Primordial Dao Fruit to the next level.


    Because of this, Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s later disciples were accepted based on their Five Elements properties.


    Beyond passing on his mantle, he wanted to see if he could artificially cultivate the Five-Colored Immortal Seeds.


    When Ancestor Hunyuan held sway over the Eastern Wilderness, he did not hide this ambition. He scoured the realms for talented cultivators with Five Elements properties, desiring especially those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.


    Nu Jiang of the Water Vein and Sheng Zhaoxi of the Fire Vein were disciples snatched from other sects, though they both eagerly pledged themselves to Ancestor Hunyuan.


    That was why, after Zhou Ye, a Heavenly Spiritual Root, entered the sect, Ancestor Hunyuan gave him exceptional attention, feeling that he could inherit his mantle and perhaps even await the arrival of the Five-Colored Immortal Seeds in the Hunyuan Immortal City, building the Five Elements Sect into a great Holy Land outside the East Land.


    Ancestor Hunyuan aims to prove that he is the true heir of True Lord Yuan¡¯s teachings, not those old fossils sitting idly at the First Origin Dao Palace.


    ¡°How shall we carry out this magic duel, niece Bai? Between Sect Master Zhu and myself?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flickered through records of the Five-Colored Immortal Seeds in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s archives. After giving Bai Cai a thorough once-over, he couldn¡¯t help but smile as he spoke.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen is joking. To engage in a magic duel with you, the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, would be something I don¡¯t even have the courage to attempt,¡± instantly, Zhu Jinyu waved her hands, signaling her defeat.


    ¡°A fair and just magic duel should be conducted, so how about we limit it to Foundation Establishment Practitioners? I will represent Snow-blowing Palace, and your sect can send anyone. If they can defeat me, the border line will be drawn according to Sect Master Chen¡¯s wishes,¡± said Bai Cai, facing the gaze of Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator. Despite her heart pounding wildly, she maintained a calm expression and spoke evenly, truly living up to her reputation as the foremost fairy of the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°A Foundation Establishment duel¡­¡± Chen Mobai glanced over the people he had brought. Mu Yuan was the highest in cultivation level, but only at the peak of the Early Foundation Establishment stage. Without a dueling genius like himself, it was impossible for anyone to stand against Bai Cai, who was in the Late Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°If I were to bring in Hong He, would you feel it to be unfair?¡± Chen Mobai suddenly asked Bai Cai.


    Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, there were quite a few practitioners at the Late Foundation Establishment phase, but Hong He and Bai Cai were known to be equals. Moreover, Hong He¡¯s notoriety had always overshadowed that of Bai Cai, and the two were seen as rivals by the wider Eastern Wilderness community.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Sect Master Chen may not be aware, but I have crossed hands with Junior Brother Hong He three times, and each fight ended in a draw,¡± Bai Cai said with an unchanged expression and composed confidence.


    Chen Mobai replied, ¡°Forget it, waiting for Hong He to arrive would delay us for several more days. Since you wish to determine the winner through a magic duel, and it¡¯s on the grounds of your Snow-blowing Palace, I¡¯ll give you this much face.¡±


    Zhu Jinyu said, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t thank me just yet. Although I¡¯ve agreed, I also have a condition.¡±


    Zhu Jinyu asked, ¡°Please speak!¡±


    Chen Mobai said, ¡°I have eight junior nephews behind me, all in the early foundation stage, and they will all take the stage. Your Snow-blowing Palace can send people to challenge them in a magic duel. If more than four out of the eight lose, then we¡¯ll delineate the border issue according to your Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s terms.¡±


    This condition made Zhu Jinyu, Lan Lingping, and Bai Cai exchange glances, each with a look of uncertainty.


    The elite cultivators of their Snow-blowing Palace were all here, and they could easily find eight cultivators at the foundation establishment middle stage, or even late stage cultivators like Bai Cai, to crush their opponents with superior cultivation realms and ensure victory.


    Was there some conspiracy they were not seeing?


    ¡°I forgot to add one thing, the cultivators that your Snow-blowing Palace challenges can also only be at the Foundation Establishment early stage,¡± Chen Mobai added.


    This statement from Chen Mobai eased the anxiety of Zhu Jinyu and the other two.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen seems very confident in the disciples of his own sect,¡± Zhu Jinyu remarked, inducing a slight smile from Chen Mobai, who did not respond.


    In the silence, Zhu Jinyu and Lan Lingping exchanged a glance, their faces showing difficulty. Although they didn¡¯t want to admit it, the disciples that Divine Wood Sect had grown over years of battling in the north and south, having experienced wars of extinction, were likely beyond what their cultivators of the same realm could handle within the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Yet, they couldn¡¯t say this in front of the disciples of both sects, as that would be inflating the enemy¡¯s arrogance.


    ¡°It seems,¡± Bai Cai began, ¡°Sect Master Chen believes that no one in his sect is a match for me, so he¡¯s using this condition to keep me out of the magic duel.¡±


    Bai Cai too recognized the difficulty her senior sisters were in and spoke up once more.


    It¡¯s no wonder she was considered a prodigious young lady, for even in the face of a Golden Core Cultivator like Chen Mobai, she dared to speak so boldly.


    ¡°Hahaha, I do like confident people. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll give you the chance to save the Snow-blowing Palace and become a hero,¡± laughed Chen Mobai upon hearing this, pointing at Bai Cai and adding another condition.


    ¡°You can choose any five of my eight junior nephews behind me. If you manage to defeat all five of them, then the Snow-blowing Palace will be considered the victor of this duel!¡±


    This meant Bai Cai would face five opponents alone!


    Upon hearing this, the blue-haired girl¡¯s clear eyes suddenly shimmered with intense fighting spirit, ignited by Chen Mobai¡¯s words like never before.


    ¡°Since I¡¯m here, let all eight go on stage,¡± she declared.


    ¡°To use my full cultivation to bully foundation establishment early stage practitioners would be unsportsmanlike, and even if I won, Sect Master Chen might not be convinced. So, I shall only use the cultivation of the early foundation stage instead,¡± Bai Cai announced.


    ¡°For fairness, during the magic duel, we won¡¯t use any magic artifacts, talismans, elixirs, or other external aids, and we¡¯ll solely rely on spell techniques to compete. If any of the eight cultivators from your sect can make me take even one step back, I¡¯ll consider it my loss!¡± Bai Cai confidently and proudly stated.

    This confidence and pride made Chen Mobai regard her with an appreciative look.


    She had the same demeanor as he did when he was young, suppressing all the foundation establishment geniuses of the Immortal Gate single-handedly.


    Moreover, within her confidence, she had not lost a calm mind, setting the condition not to use external aids.


    Otherwise, with just one Green Flame Sword Talisman refined by Chen Mobai given to the participating disciples, Bai Cai would surely have no place to be buried after defeat.


    The first step in unifying the Eastern Wilderness would begin with shattering the confidence of a genius, Chen Mobai decided with a smile as he nodded in agreement!

 Chapter 1004 - Chapter 1004 551

    Chapter 1004: 551 Chapter 1004: 551 Chen Mobai called Lian Maozhi, who was the first to compete, to his side and gave him a few instructions. Although Lian Maozhi didn¡¯t quite understand, he nodded and stepped onto the stage.


    Bai Cai was indeed formidable. Despite relying on his great defensive power from Body Forging, Lian Maozhi fought tenaciously for a long time. But in the end, he was defeated by the ever-changing Rainy Sword Technique.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I¡¯ve let you down.¡±


    After being defeated and stepping off the stage, Lian Maozhi said to Chen Mobai with his head lowered.


    ¡°No, you¡¯ve excellently completed the task I entrusted to you.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a pair of clear eyes seemed to outline golden lines within them.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    After hearing this, Lian Maozhi stood back in his original place.


    Chen Mobai looked towards the other seven Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners. Logically, everyone was looking up, hoping to be chosen.


    Although they knew the odds of winning against Bai Cai were slim, once one lost, they were relieved of psychological burden, and the sooner one lost, the more likely it was to leave an impression on the Sect Leader.


    However, Chen Mobai had already arranged the battle order in his mind. According to his estimate, it would take about four people to completely see through Bai Cai¡¯s capabilities, and then Mu Yuan would be the fifth to finish her off with a decisive defeat.


    Although Bai Cai had to fight eight, they would still stick to the original plan.


    ¡°Niece Ding¡­¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s voice, Ding Ying¡¯s body shook, and she immediately stood up, bowing respectfully.


    ¡°Once you¡¯re up there, focus on defense as well¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai used a sound transmission technique to detail to Ding Ying what she had to do and even mentioned the flaws he had spotted in the Rainy Sword Technique during the previous bout, asking her to probe and verify them during the fight.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, Ding Ying nodded quickly, signaling that she had memorized everything and would do her utmost to complete the Sect Leader¡¯s mission.


    After taking the stage, Ding Ying was even more earnest than Mu Yuan. She propelled the Longevity Scripture she had cultivated to an unprecedented peak, executing the Spirit Leaf Technique to perfection. Despite looking ragged under Bai Cai¡¯s torrential downpour of Sword Qi, she staunchly held her ground without retreating an inch.


    After attacking for three rounds and seeing no way to break through the Spirit Leaf Technique with conventional methods, Bai Cai¡¯s clear eyes shone with a light blue lustre. The Sword Qi then leveled up, transforming into a cerulean Sword Rainbow that soared into the sky, like a Water Blade with a sharp icy edge.


    Seeing this, Ding Ying, although her brows furrowed, bit her lip and made a cut on her fingertip. Then, using her blood as ink, she drew a talisman in the void, amplifying the power of the Spirit Leaf Technique to its maximum.


    Bai Cai, however, appeared prideful as she directly steered her Water Blade into the heart of the Spirit Leaf Technique.


    Determined to slash through her opponent¡¯s strongest shield with her own sword.


    But in a place Bai Cai did not see, Ding Ying¡¯s other hand, held behind her back, also squeezed a fingertip, drawing a Clear Wind Talisman.


    Amidst the sound of rushing, the Water Blade collided with the Spirit Leaf Technique, sparking off a bright blue-green luster.


    At that moment, Ding Ying also released the Clear Wind Talisman she had been gathering behind her back; a gust containing Longevity Spiritual Power surged behind her, howling as it bypassed the center of the clash and swept along the platform in a half-arc, landing beside Bai Cai.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Bai Cai was slightly surprised, but her realm was high, and in the flow of her Spiritual Power, her slender white hand waved, and another Sword Rainbow emerged. It swirled around her like a vortex, forming an impregnable defense.


    The gust of wind slammed into the vortex and dispersed within a few breaths.


    At that moment, Ding Ying¡¯s Spirit Leaf Technique was also exhausted and breached by the Water Blade.


    Just as Ding Ying was about to be struck down by the pale blue Water Blade, Bai Cai swiftly urged her Spiritual Power, preparing to divert her Sword Rainbow¡¯s trajectory when a point of golden light suddenly flickered on the stage.


    A scorching hot stream that made all the cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace feel a chilling premonition, as if facing their natural enemy, spread out in all directions.


    In an instant, Bai Cai¡¯s Water Blade was completely evaporated.


    After the threatening Sword Rainbow was annihilated, the point of golden flame also perfectly disappeared.


    It seemed that the fire was precisely capable of neutralizing Bai Cai¡¯s Water Blade.


    ¡°I intervened in haste, please forgive me, Sect Master Zhu and Niece Bai.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized somewhat embarrassingly to Zhu Jinyu beside him and Bai Cai on the stage, both of whom were still in the shock and panic from the crazy warning their Spiritual Power had given them as if they had encountered an archenemy.


    That golden flame¡­ could it be¡­


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhu Jinyu thought of the Extreme Sun Slash that Ancestor Hun Yuan used to freely roam the three realms of the Eastern Wilderness, a technique powerful enough to send a Rank-4 great demon of the Yun Meng Ze fleeing in terror, as it was particularly effective against water and ice attributes.


    How could this Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect have advanced his Green Flames Sword Slaughter to ¡°Golden Flame¡± so soon after achieving Core Formation?!


    If it were anyone else, Zhu Jinyu would not believe it.


    But she had just personally felt the tremor of her own Spiritual Power. That point of extreme scorching golden flame was undoubtedly a sign of the Red Flame Sword Jue being cultivated to perfection!


    Moreover, Chen Mobai had already swept through the Eastern Wilderness with his Green Flames Sword Slaughter during his Foundation Establishment, and after achieving Core Formation, he had the core fire. Perhaps the Divine Wood Sect had some secret technique to rapidly condense the golden flame and various precious Spiritual Objects to aid in its mastery; hence, the attainment of the golden flame was conceivable.

 Chapter 1005 - Chapter 1005 Chapter 551_2

    Chapter 1005: Chapter 551_2 Chapter 1005: Chapter 551_2 However, to have just mastered the Golden Flame and control it so proficiently, this talent is simply too terrifying!


    Zhu Jinyu thought of how Chen Mobai had just now used a hint of Golden Flame, perfectly countering Bai Cai¡¯s Sword Rainbow, causing a huge shock to her heart, which still couldn¡¯t calm down.


    On the stage, Bai Cai first frowned, then seemed to think of the Golden Flame, and a trace of shock suddenly flashed through her clear eyes, looking in disbelief at the handsome young man sitting down the stage, smiling with his eyes narrowed.


    Is this the strongest swordsmanship talent that the Eastern Wilderness has seen in a thousand years?


    Why would such a demon be in the Eastern Wilderness?


    ¡°I lost.¡±


    While Bai Cai was in shock, Ding Ying across from her smiled pleasantly, as if losing the match had actually relieved a long-standing burden from her heart.


    ¡°Mhm, well done.¡±


    After stepping off the stage, Chen Mobai said to Ding Ying, who was exceptionally happy.


    With eyes like apricots, cheeks like peaches, and an already stunning beauty, after receiving the praise and realizing she was truly seen as an ordinary disciple in the Sect Leader¡¯s heart, she beamed even more radiantly, captivating and charming.


    ¡°Jing Huo, you be the third one up.¡±


    Of all the disciples, it was Xi Jinghuo who had the best relationship with Chen Mobai. Even the way he spoke was different, like a conversation between close friends.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo didn¡¯t refuse, and before he went on stage, Chen Mobai called him over, giving him pointers for much longer than the previous two.


    At this time, no one noticed that in Chen Mobai¡¯s left eye, where there used to be only a few streaks of Jinguang (Golden Light), a complete human-like silhouette was now almost fully outlined.


    ¡°Please enlighten me!¡±


    Once Xi Jinghuo took the stage, he spoke three words, then brought his palms together and with a pull to the sides, a red rainbow-like light, both like a sword and like fire, appeared in the center of his palms.


    Red Flame Sword Rainbow!


    With his talent, although he couldn¡¯t cast Sword Rainbow during Qi Cultivation like Chen Mobai, he still easily mastered it after Foundation Establishment.


    Furthermore, as a close friend, the two would often drink together in Divine Wood City at Xiao Nanshan, and Chen Mobai would share his insights on sword training. At first, Xi Jinghuo refrained, but as it went on, he gladly and justifiably began to seek guidance.


    With Chen Mobai, the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness by his side, Xi Jinghuo¡¯s path in cultivation was clear and targeted from the start.


    Aiming to become the second Chen Mobai, it could be said that Xi Jinghuo¡¯s Red Flame Sword Jue bore the shadow of Chen Mobai at every turn.


    Upon seeing the Red Flame Sword Rainbow, Bai Cai forced herself to recover from the Golden Flame that had so frightened her moments before, concentrating and invoking her Rainy Sword Technique, raising it to the level of a Sword Rainbow.


    In a duel of Fire and Water Sword Techniques, theoretically, the Water Attribute Sword Technique should have the advantage.


    However, with advice from Chen Mobai, Xi Jinghuo knew of the flaws in Bai Cai¡¯s technique that came from an insufficient cultivation level, and which she couldn¡¯t compensate for. Despite being at a disadvantage against the Rainy Sword Technique, he unexpectedly seized the initiative, suppressing her Water Blade.


    The more Bai Cai fought, the more uncomfortable she became; she didn¡¯t even know her Rainy Sword Technique had such flaws.


    If not for her higher realm and stronger Divine Sense, allowing her to constantly channel Spiritual Power to change her sword moves and Sword Rainbow, she probably would have lost in the first encounter against Xi Jinghuo.


    ¡°It must have been that Sect Master Chen, with his Core Formation realm, who spotted the flaws in my sword technique during our brief exchanges. I mustn¡¯t be hasty. My victory over my opponent earlier was swift, so even if I did reveal flaws, they couldn¡¯t have been many. As long as I get through the opponent¡¯s initial onslaught, I can soon turn defeat into victory with my higher realm!¡±


    Reputed as a five-colored immortal seed, Bai Cai was naturally not the type of cultivator with just talent. During her Qi Cultivation, she also underwent trials in the Eastern Wilderness, engaged in countless magic duels, and had killed numerous Loose Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators with her sword.


    Although she was being suppressed by Xi Jinghuo, she didn¡¯t panic but defended herself with the most prudent Turbid Flow Sword Style, resisting the fierce and intense heat of the Red Flame Sword Rainbow.


    Indeed, as time passed by, the sword moves, and Sword Rainbow of Xi Jinghuo no longer proved as difficult to fend off as they were at the beginning.


    Gradually, Bai Cai began to fight back.


    After the sixth move, the tide had turned, with Xi Jinghuo now being suppressed by her Sword Rainbow.


    Finally, on the seventeenth move, Xi Jinghuo¡¯s face turned pale from the excessive consumption of spiritual power, and the Red Flame Sword Rainbow in her hand flickered before being extinguished by the Water Blade, turning into strands of blue smoke.


    However, this time, to avoid provoking Chen Mobai into using Golden Flame again, Bai Cai had already pulled her punches in advance.


    ¡°I lost!¡±


    After her Red Flame Sword Rainbow was broken, Xi Jinghuo promptly conceded defeat and stepped down.


    But the way the people from Snow-blowing Palace looked at Xi Jinghuo had completely changed; after all, everyone had seen Bai Cai¡¯s initial discomfiture. They never imagined that a mere early foundation stage Cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect could achieve such a feat.


    Another swordsmanship genius, perhaps!


    While not as monstrous as Chen Mobai, with growth, she would likely be no less formidable than Bai Cai of Snow-blowing Palace, who possessed the highest talent.


    Thinking this, Zhu Jinyu once again sighed, wondering why all the geniuses were in Divine Wood Sect, while their Snow-blowing Palace, despite always digging for talent in Yun Country and Lei Nation¡­


    ¡°Yin Shizhe¡­¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai had called Yin Qingmei over.


    Ever since she joined the Divine Wood Sect, Yin Qingmei had only left Giant Tree Ridge once, which was to recruit disciples in Yun Country, where she had miraculously found an extremely rare talent like Chen Mobai.


    This trip, her first time traveling far from Divine Wood Sect¡¯s territory, excited her greatly.


    She had hoped to perform well during her journey with Chen Mobai, aiming to impress him with her obedience and strong talent, possibly even earning the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Chen Mobai closed his left eye; the golden figure in his pupils was almost fully sketched out. He had seen through Bai Cai and the Rainy Sword Technique entirely, and after speaking to Yin Qingmei, he left her with one last instruction.


    ¡°Unless she has mastered Sword Light, follow my advice, and she definitely won¡¯t be your match.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sect Master!¡±


    Yin Qingmei was still somewhat skeptical about this, as she, with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, was full of confidence in her talent and couldn¡¯t imagine someone could completely see through a late foundation stage genius just with the short experience of three Magic Duels.


    Even as she took the stage, Yin Qingmei had her doubts, but after exchanging three moves with Bai Cai, she realized that the opponent¡¯s techniques and spells were exactly as Chen Mobai had told her.


    The more they fought, the more confident Yin Qingmei became.


    As a Heavenly Spiritual Root, ever since she started cultivating in the Divine Wood Sect, she had been a treasured protegee shielded by others, with little experience in dueling. Fighting against Bai Cai who had honed her skills through life and death battles, and even knowing all of her opponent¡¯s moves in advance, she felt somewhat tense and weighted down.


    However, after three exchanges, she completely relaxed. With a clear understanding in her mind, she used the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, countering and breaking every one of her opponent¡¯s Sword Rainbow moves with the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue.

    The more Bai Cai dueled with Yin Qingmei, the more alarmed she became. She felt completely exposed in front of her opponent as if all changes in her sword techniques were anticipated.


    It was as if her opponent had watched her practice from a young age, understanding her better than she understood herself!


    After another Turbid Flow Sword Style was blocked and deflected by the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light in Yin Qingmei¡¯s palm, Bai Cai gritted her teeth, knowing she had to use her ultimate move!


    Her pale blue Sword Rainbow disintegrated in an instant, like droplets turning into mist, becoming a fine drizzle that suddenly fell upon Yin Qingmei¡¯s Heavenly Wood Spirit Light shield.


    Subsequently, a stunning deep blue Sword Light ignited amidst the misty rain, as if emerging from the depths of the sea, like the deep sea, like the deep sea

 Chapter 1006 - Chapter 1006 Chapter 552 Guidance Book Mastery

    Chapter 1006: Chapter 552: Guidance Book Mastery Chapter 1006: Chapter 552: Guidance Book Mastery As the sword light flashed, the outcome was no longer in doubt.


    Chen Mobai flicked his sleeve gently, and a soft mist of cloud and twilight unfurled, securely catching Yin Qingmei as she fell from the stage, shielding her as she lightly touched down to the ground.


    This ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± had been refined by Ming Yuhua, and it was already a lower-grade Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Although its defensive power was only marginally acceptable among Rank-3 Magic Artifacts, the key was that it could continuously advance in rank, and both the materials and the path for enhancement were clear and straightforward.


    As long as Chen Mobai could obtain Rank-3 materials like Chixia, Fresh Wind, Jade Dew, and Smoke Stream Spiritual Material, he could upgrade it into a Rank-3 Peak Magic Artifact.


    If he could later acquire the Rank-4 versions of these five types of materials, then it could be upgraded into the ¡°Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.¡±


    The full potential of this Magic Artifact could reach the Fourth Stage Pinnacle.


    Moreover, if it could be combined with a Formation and nature¡¯s spiritual energy in the future, it could even exert power beyond Rank-4, but this was something only Ancestor Yunya of the Dance Tool Dao Academy had ever achieved.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I¡¯ve let you down.¡±


    After landing, Yin Qingmei immediately came before Chen Mobai to apologize.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai merely smiled and spoke two words. Yin Qingmei had already done very well. Although she hadn¡¯t managed to defeat Bai Cai, she had helped him complete the final piece of the puzzle.


    His left eye opened slightly, and the golden lines within had already outlined Bai Cai completely.


    With that, he finally made an entry into the ¡°Guidance Book.¡±


    When he was studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute, he had spent a lot of effort trying to practice this number one auxiliary Cultivation Technique of the Immortal Gate, but he had never been able to find his way into it.


    The reason boiled down to nothing more than his own lack of comprehension.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay too much attention to this. After all, if he continued along the path of the Pure Yang Scroll, the Broad Avenue to the heavens lay ahead, and whether he had the Guidance Book or not didn¡¯t matter much.


    However, whenever he had time, he would still attempt to practice it.


    Persistence is the key to success in any endeavor.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, he finally entered the state of Guidance Book during a chance occurrence.


    That was during his battle with Nanxuan Jing!


    But at the time of that life-and-death fight, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t realize that it was the state of the Guidance Book; he simply thought his talent for Magic Duels was exceptional and naturally advanced to that kind of analytical state of the Empty Ming Realm, where he could assess both the enemy and himself.


    However, upon reflection afterward, he noticed something was amiss.


    Though over the years Chen Mobai had also come to understand that his talent for Magic Duels was somewhat exceptional, no matter how exceptional it was, it shouldn¡¯t have been possible to visualize both the opponent and himself in such detail, even quantifying them and forming comprehensive models and data for comparison!


    He realized that at that moment, he might have accidentally satisfied the requirements of the Guidance Book with his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, naturally advancing to that state.


    After realizing this, Chen Mobai reviewed the battle with Nanxuan Jing in his sea of consciousness hundreds of times, and he finally grasped the opportunity to practice the Guidance Book.


    It was battle!


    Because only during combat was his thought process at its sharpest, meeting the requirements to master the Guidance Book.


    Chen Mobai tried many things in the Little Red Sky, but because he knew that the battles there weren¡¯t life-and-death struggles, progress with the Guidance Book was slow, sometimes working and sometimes not.


    The breakthrough opportunity came when Zhuo Ming cultivated the Rank-2 Enlightenment White Tea!


    Resources were still the key!


    After all the roundabout paths, Chen Mobai found himself back on the Broad Avenue.


    Drinking a cup of Enlightenment White Tea every day, even though only the first cup was effective, he would continue to replace the water until there was no trace of the tea¡¯s flavor, because although the subsequent cups didn¡¯t allow him to enter a state of Enlightenment, they still enhanced his cognitive processing.


    He would even swallow the tea leaves last, demonstrating an aspect of frugality.


    But the real breakthrough in mastering the Guidance Book came during his battle with Master Huakai.


    It was an unmistakable life-or-death duel, and without his conscious awareness, Chen Mobai once again entered that supremely calm state of the Empty Ming Realm.


    Utilizing Gongsun Jielu and Lan Haitian¡¯s successive interventions, he barely managed to establish a three-dimensional model of Master Huakai, and after negotiating with the Purple Electric Sword the reward for three strikes, he finally won a hard-fought victory!


    After slaying Master Huakai, Chen Mobai drank all of his remaining Enlightenment White Tea under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and even obtained half a pound more from Wen Ren Xuewei, so as to firmly grasp the state of the Guidance Book.


    However, Chen Mobai discovered that his version of the Guidance Book seemed to be somewhat unorthodox.


    It could only be augmented when he was in a state of combat.


    Concerned about this, Chen Mobai sought out a professional, Ding Chundzhi of the Astral Observation Academy.


    But Ding Chundzhi told Chen Mobai that this was normal; for example, when he practiced the Guidance Book, it was to improve the accuracy and speed of his astrological deductions.


    However, as one¡¯s Cultivation Level advanced and Divine Sense was enhanced, the scope of the Guidance Book¡¯s application could broaden. That depended on the individual.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Elder Yuanxu¡¯s Guidance Book was fully focused on research.


    Originally, this was the purpose of the Guidance Book.


    Using it in combat was just a basic analytical function that came with it.


    Most who mastered the Guidance Book could do this, but wouldn¡¯t delve deeper into research and application.


    ¡°Brother Chen is an unparalleled genius in Sword Cultivation, so after mastering the Guidance Book, it automatically augmented your strongest ability to duel, further reinforcing your strength. With further practice, you can extend its application to Farming, Talisman-making, and so on. It¡¯s because your talent for dueling is too overpowering, you need not worry!¡±

 Chapter 1007 - Chapter 1007 Chapter 552 The Guidance Book is Completed_2

    Chapter 1007: Chapter 552 The Guidance Book is Completed_2 Chapter 1007: Chapter 552 The Guidance Book is Completed_2 ¡°`


    Ding Chundzhi had analyzed Chen Mobai¡¯s Square Inch Book over the phone and came to this conclusion.


    Chen Mobai thought his analysis made a lot of sense, it certainly wasn¡¯t because his own talent was lacking that he could only practice the basic version of the Square Inch Book.


    Today, facing Bai Cai, he could make good use of this Square Inch Book.


    This was also the first time Chen Mobai could control his entry into this detached yet penetrating sideline perspective. In his eyes, Bai Cai, who previously showed only her appearance, had her true nature gradually filled in by golden lines through the four magic duels, and he now saw right through her.


    ¡°For the final round, let it be you, Mu Yuan.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke with ease, Mu Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise upon receiving his telepathic message. Then he nodded and flew up to the arena.


    ¡°Oh, does Sect Master Chen feel that your sect has no one who can match Junior Sister Bai, and thus don¡¯t plan to fight the next three rounds?¡±


    Zhu Jinyu, who was nearby, asked curiously after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°No, Sect Master Zhu, you are mistaken. It¡¯s just that my junior niece Bai is going to lose this round, so the next three are unnecessary,¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, leaving Zhu Jinyu at a loss for words.


    She had strong confidence in Bai Cai and didn¡¯t believe that Bai Cai, who had mastered Sword Light, would lose to a Foundation Establishment Practitioner from Divine Wood Sect.


    But out of respect for the Golden Core Cultivator present, she did not retort and planned to wait until Mu Yuan¡¯s defeat to raise her teacup to Chen Mobai in a toast and then smile.


    After a pot of tea, Zhu Jinyu, however, stood up trembling.


    She saw Bai Cai on the arena being pressed into a sorry state by Mu Yuan using the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue. No matter what technique she used, her opponent always found the flaws in her sword attacks and delivered the most difficult counterattack.


    Bai Cai had finally found an opportunity to unleash Sword Light, but her baiting tactic was blocked by a light shield evolved from Mu Yuan¡¯s Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, and because Bai Cai had drawn too much Spiritual Power for the Sword Light, she exposed a deadly flaw.


    Naturally, Mu Yuan did not miss this opportunity. The Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue evolved once more, creating a half-translucent Divine Wood Sword that thrust towards Bai Cai¡¯s heart.


    Bai Cai was not quick enough to activate her sword technique as a defense, and could only retreat to avoid the Spirit Light Divine Wood Sword.


    But after retreating, Bai Cai¡¯s expression suddenly became vacant, and she stood still on the spot.


    It was agreed beforehand that if she took even a step back, it would be considered a loss.


    After forcing Bai Cai to retreat, Mu Yuan immediately dispersed the Spirit Light Divine Wood Sword that emanated from his fingertips and then raised his left hand, deflecting the deep-blue Sword Light with his light shield.


    After Chen Mobai obtained the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue and Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and contributed them to the sect, Mu Yuan was the first Foundation Establishment Practitioner to exchange for them from the transmission department.


    His Wood Spirit Root was outstanding, his practice diligent, and with the help of Meng Hong, he not only mastered the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue but also incorporated a pair of high-quality, Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword and Divine Wood Shield into the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.


    This was equivalent to possessing a Rank-2 Lifespan Artifact during the Foundation Establishment.


    Even if Bai Cai hadn¡¯t set the condition that retreating a step meant defeat, with the guidance of Chen Mobai¡¯s Square Inch Book and the same level of Early Foundation Stage Spiritual Power, the one who would ultimately lose would still be her.


    Because in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, Bai Cai was full of flaws!


    Not a single move was perfect.


    If he had to use only an equal amount of Spiritual Power to suppress her, just one finger would suffice to grant her a complete and utter defeat.


    ¡°Sect Master, I have not failed you.¡±


    At this moment, Mu Yuan came down and respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Well done, well done.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, then turned to Bai Cai, who was still standing dazedly on the arena, and spoke to comfort her.


    ¡°For the Foundation Establishment Realm, Junior Niece Bai is quite commendable.¡±


    After these words, Chen Mobai stood up and said one final thing to Zhu Jinyu.


    ¡°As for the matter of the borderlines, let¡¯s go with what I have said. If in the future we see any cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace crossing over without reporting to Divine Wood Sect and they disappear, don¡¯t blame us.¡±


    Leaving these words behind, Chen Mobai smiled, waved his sleeve, and left the Snow-blowing Palace with Mu Yuan and the others.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re a bit too overbearing?¡±


    ¡°`


    Just as Chen Mobai stepped out of the Snow-blowing Palace, a cloud of cold fog drifted over, forming a large face with high-piled hair, looming in the center of the sky.


    ¡°True Person Kong, you¡¯ve finally decided to show yourself!¡±


    The Snow-blowing Palace had only one Golden Core Cultivator, and upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Mobai knew who it was.


    ¡°I¡¯m at a critical juncture in my cultivation and cannot come to welcome you in person for the moment, but for Sect Master Chen with your Golden Core cultivation level, to oppress the Foundation Establishment Practitioners within my palace, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit too much?¡±


    In the middle of the sky, the cold misty face stared down with its hollow eye sockets, sending a chilling coldness rising from within the hearts of the Divine Wood Sect, turning their complexions slightly pale, with a layer of frost forming between their brows.


    Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t think so. As a supporter of the Sect of Realms, he had no other choice in the past but to be invincible at his rank. Now that he had reached Core Formation, he naturally wanted to emulate his idol, Elder Qingping, and abuse Foundation Establishment to experience the thrill of overpowering weaker realms.


    He wished that in the entire Eastern Wilderness, he was the only Golden Core True Person, so that he wouldn¡¯t have to resort to schemes and could simply go alone with his sword to eradicate the other forces and unify the Eastern Wilderness!


    But these thoughts were only in his heart. In the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai had always maintained the demeanor of a Sword Dao master, which he still needed to uphold.


    ¡°Well then, since that¡¯s the case, let me oppress True Person Kong a bit!¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his entire being suddenly lit up with a layer of golden flames, transforming into a spirit of flames, dispersing Kong Lingling¡¯s coldness. Like a rising flame sword, he burst into the cold mist face in the sky with a roar.


    ¡°Golden Flames!? How is this possible!¡±


    Kong Lingling clearly hadn¡¯t expected that Chen Mobai, merely at the early Golden Core stage, had managed to achieve great mastery of the Red Flame Sword Art, the Flame Sun Slash!


    But by this time, she had already been backed into a corner.


    After stepping forward, the two were bound to have a confrontation!


    Fortunately, her cultivation level was already at the mid Golden Core peak, and she also had the advantage of the terrain. Her Lifespan Artifact, the Cold Moon Twin Hooks, turned into two cold, icy arcs of light, forming an X-shape, ready to collide with the soaring flame sword.


    But an ancient mirror flew out, clashing with the Cold Moon Twin Hooks before they could connect, forcing them both to retreat.


    Following the Lifespan Artifact, Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Sun Slash faced no more obstacles. As his fingertip pointed out, the clash with the surrounding cold air caused bursts of steam, appearing ready to pierce through the cold mist face.


    At that moment, the Spirit Vein of the Snow-blowing Palace seemed to break free from some seal, erupting a terrifying and vast icy Spiritual Energy that resembled white dragons, roaring as they surged into the sky.


    Chen Mobai, who resembled a golden flame spirit, was suddenly encased in a massive block of ice, as if trapped within an iceberg!


    ¡°Sect Master¡­¡±


    Below, Mu Yuan and others watching this scene changed expressions, ready to take action.


    Crack! A dazzling golden light burst forth, shattering the iceberg completely. The golden flames, along with Chen Mobai¡¯s expansion, turned the ice sculptures forming the Snow-blowing Palace into melting snow.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen¡­¡±


    Before Kong Lingling could say anything else, Chen Mobai was already dispersing another mass of golden flames.


    The Cold Moon Twin Hooks flew out again. Cutting through the air with slice after slice of light as bright as snow and moon, they turned into waves of snowy lights, bearing the extreme coldness of the Spiritual Power to suppress the extremely yang and hard golden flames.


    As the two extremely opposite Spiritual Powers clashed, a series of dull thunders resounded through the sky.


    The watery face of Kong Lingling had, unnoticed, exploded, turning into a sky full of vapor, and within it, two golden flames orbited around the figure of a youngster in a red-black long robe, appearing and disappearing intermittently.


    Boom! In the sky, golden flames collided with the icy blue cold air, and the horrifying Spiritual Power that made Foundation Establishment Practitioners tremble continued to clash, after which a loud laughter echoed through the vast mist.

    ¡°True Person Kong, I am grateful for your leniency.¡±


    Accompanied by those words, a warm current surged, sweeping away the icy fog in the sky.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai, casually holding two golden flame orbs, appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes, looking relaxed.


    So quickly!


    Kong Lingling had been defeated?

 Chapter 1008 - Chapter 1008 Chapter 553 Primordial Stone

    Chapter 1008: Chapter 553: Primordial Stone Chapter 1008: Chapter 553: Primordial Stone After the Core Formation, in the Eastern Wilderness realm, Chen Mobai, with the Purple Electric Sword in hand, truly had nobody to fear.


    However, defeating Kong Lingling so easily was still somewhat unexpected to him.


    Kong Lingling was an old Core Formation expert, a senior who had survived under the pressure of Ancestor Hunyuan in the Eastern Wilderness. Chen Mobai had thought the fight would be tough and that he might need to use the Purple Electric Sword.


    But who would have thought that after the Great Achievement of the Red Flame Sword Art, the Flame Sun Slash was much more powerful than he had imagined.


    Especially when facing Kong Lingling¡¯s Ice Spirit Power, it had invoked the strongest might of the attack, and coupled with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which neutralized the Cold Moon Twin Hooks, he managed to win quite effortlessly in a head-on confrontation.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen truly deserves the reputation of being the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness; I am no match for you,¡± said Kong Lingling graciously after her defeat.


    The atmosphere within the spirit vein of the Snow-blowing Palace shifted, and a stream of icy blue mist emerged, coalescing into the silhouette of a graceful and beautiful woman, who respectfully bowed to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised at Kong Lingling¡¯s remark, but after careful thought, he began to vaguely understand why she had suddenly made a move when he was about to leave, and why she seemed so composed about losing to him.


    ¡°If True Person Kong is at a critical moment in her cultivation, she shouldn¡¯t exhaust her mind or spirit. I will soon take the Sect Disciples and leave the Snow Country.¡±


    ¡°Why the rush, Sect Master Chen? Why not stay a couple more days? Was the hospitality insufficient?¡±


    Kong Lingling had used a method akin to that of a Taoist Soldier, leveraging her Lifespan Artifact and the Large Formation¡¯s spirit veins of the Snow-blowing Palace to contend with Chen Mobai. In doing so, she could display 80% of her strength without harming the foundation of the spirit veins, yet even this was not enough to withstand the Flame Sun Slash.


    Knowing this, Kong Lingling became even more wary of Chen Mobai.


    Although she had heard of his fame as the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness and his unrivaled swordsmanship talent in a millennium, without having personally crossed swords with him, she had always been skeptical.


    Now that she had tested his strength, she realized that unless she was willing to risk her life, she most likely wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against this Sect Master of the Divine Wood Sect.


    It was this realization that led to a profound change in her attitude.


    ¡°Not at all, Sect Leader Zhu. You¡¯ve been very courteous. It¡¯s just that I need to visit the Golden Cliff in Wind Country and I don¡¯t want to keep Brother Mo waiting.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with ease. He was leading the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples on this trip, with their route circling the Donghuang Border, meant to deter hostile forces beyond the Sect.


    Between the Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley lies the Wind Country of Golden Cliff.


    Since they were passing through, it was a certainty that Chen Mobai would visit Mo Douguang. Yue Zutao had been informed in advance and upon hearing the news of his arrival, even exited seclusion especially for this.


    Upon hearing Mo Douguang¡¯s name, Kong Lingling felt even more disheartened.


    The two most capable fighters in the entire Eastern Wilderness were on either side of the Snow-blowing Palace, and she feared that one day while she was in seclusion, these two swords might suddenly strike.


    Against Mo Douguang, she had no chance of winning at all.


    And now facing this excessively young Sect Master Chen, having tested him today, she also realized she might not be a match for him, making her even more discouraged.


    However, she still maintained a smile to see off the guests on the surface.


    ¡°Since that is the case, I shall not detain you any longer. Jinyu, send someone to escort Sect Master Chen and his party safely to the border.¡±


    ¡°You are too kind, True Person Kong,¡± Chen Mobai responded.


    After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Kong Lingling, she took her leave first.


    ¡°Junior Sister Xue Ting, I¡¯m afraid I have to trouble you once more,¡± said Zhu Jinyu to Xue Ting at her side, who nodded expressionlessly in response.


    ¡°Sect Leader Senior Sister, allow me to escort Sect Master Chen,¡± suddenly spoke up Bai Cai, who had been silently standing by. Zhu Jinyu looked hesitant, but after some thought, she nodded her agreement.


    Using the Teleportation Array of the Snow-blowing Palace, Chen Mobai and his party arrived at the border between Snow Country and Wind Country.


    However, there was still a distance of three hundred kilometers to go.


    Chen Mobai utilized the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± carrying everyone as they flew mid-air toward Wind Country.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The border between Snow Country and Wind Country was a barren and desolate land of mountains, home to only a few weak Rank-1 Spirit Veins, which is why the Snow-blowing Palace didn¡¯t put much effort into the area.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, look over there,¡± said Xue Ting, standing next to him in the smoke clouds, pointing towards a fiery red Spirit Field nestled between the valleys below.


    ¡°This was the experimental field for planting Fire Spirit Rice when I first returned from Xiao Nanshan¡­¡±


    As Xue Ting spoke, she pointed out various oddly shaped Spirit Fields scattered across the mountainous terrain below, some of which were terraced fields, clearly also inspired by what she learned from Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Very good, very good. In the realm of farming, you are second only to Ming¡¯er, having received my heritage,¡± praised Chen Mobai, moving to the edge of the misty clouds alongside Xue Ting, carefully observing along her pointed fingertip. After activating his Void Spirit Eye, even from mid-air, he could clearly see the stalks in the Spirit Fields, not very plump, but laden with grain panicles.


    ¡°When cultivating these Spirit Fields, I came across many difficulties and resolved them only by writing letters and asking for advice from Senior Sister Zhuo. However, the Fire Spirit Rice harvested here is of ordinary quality, not comparable to that from South Mountain,¡± Xue Ting expressed her modesty, delighted by Chen Mobai¡¯s words as this was the first time she received praise in her cultivation journey. She maintained a humble attitude, acknowledging her inadequacies.

 Chapter 1009 - Chapter 1009 Chapter 553 Primordial Stone_2

    Chapter 1009: Chapter 553 Primordial Stone_2 Chapter 1009: Chapter 553 Primordial Stone_2 ¡°The land¡¯s fertility is not enough, and coupled with the thin spirit vein aura, it¡¯s not your fault. Your skill in the cultivation of Fire Spirit Rice, even among my disciples, would qualify you to teach as well.¡±


    Chen Mobai, by the standards of Tianhe Realm, was considered a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master. A glance at the spirit fields below and the rice ears was enough to know the reason why the grains were not plump.


    ¡°It is only because the sect has been promoting the cultivation of Fire Spirit Rice on a large scale that I have been able to accumulate rich experience by advising the disciples and immortal cultivation families in their farming year after year.¡±


    The maturity of Xue Ting¡¯s skill in Fire Spirit Rice was cultivated through extensive hands-on planting, and she spoke the honest truth about it.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s opinion of her improved further.


    He had originally casually handed her over to Zhuo Ming for training, but he hadn¡¯t expected to find such a diligent and progressive child. Moreover, she was respectably mindful of her place, always greeting him with the proper respect due a master every time she came.


    If he had known earlier, he would have spoken to Lan Lingping at the beginning to let Xue Ting become another one of his disciples. In that case, he could have left the farming to Xue Ting and freed Zhuo Ming to focus on caring for the more precious spirit plants.


    Having been in Tianhe Realm for so many years, Chen Mobai had seen many outstanding Spirit Plant Masters, but not a single one who was good at farming had caught his eye.


    Perhaps it was because he judged them by the higher standards of the Immortal Gate. Besides the exceptional talent that Zhuo Ming was, now there was Xue Ting before him.


    Even though her skills in spirit planting were specialized, since she could take such good care of the Fire Spirit Rice and had a tenacious character, a little guidance would make her a capable right-hand helper.


    But on further reflection, Chen Mobai realized that the relationship between the Snow-blowing Palace and the Divine Wood Sect was quite ordinary. It was likely that Kong Lingling would prefer her disciples to die accidentally than defect to the enemy.


    Moreover, Xue Ting had already achieved Foundation Establishment and mastered the core cultivation methods of the Snow-blowing Palace. Such a crossover was even more improbable.


    It was only on the side of the Divine Wood Sect that if they encountered anyone suitable for sword training within their territory, they would take them to Golden Cliff.


    The reverse was true as well. Golden Cliff would similarly send disciples not practicing swordsmanship to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen¡­¡±


    As they were about to fly out of the border of Snow Country, Chen Mobai and Xue Ting were still busy discussing the spirit fields below, one instructing and the other listening intently without pause, Bai Cai finally couldn¡¯t help but step forward to pay her respects.


    ¡°Oh, Junior Niece Bai, is there something you need?¡±


    Chen Mobai had been talking to Xue Ting about the cultivation of Qingkuo Spirit Rice in the spirit fields below and about the characteristics and habits of this spirit rice. Hearing Bai Cai interrupt, he felt a bit displeased and spoke in a harsh tone.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s nothing¡­ I just came over to remind you that we¡¯re about to enter the territory of Wind Country.¡±


    Bai Cai, hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s tone, felt a jolt in her heart. She wouldn¡¯t dare ask the questions she had thought of and, after hesitating for a moment, carefully reminded him instead.


    ¡°Have we arrived so soon?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked somewhat regretful, as he had just begun to experience the long-missed satisfaction of teaching Xue Ting how to farm.


    After all, Zhuo Ming¡¯s skill in spirit planting had already surpassed his own, leading to instances where he would ask her for advice. Liu Wenbo, too, was primarily focused on business, and though he diligently farmed at Xiao Nanshan, he evidently had no intention of dedicating his efforts to that path.


    Since Luo Yixuan¡¯s disappearance, Chen Mobai had not felt that satisfaction in teaching cultivation for around a decade.


    ¡°Junior Niece Xue Ting, come visit Giant Tree Ridge when you have time. Ming¡¯er has been missing you.¡±


    After crossing the border line, Chen Mobai turned to Xue Ting, who was still within the territory of Snow Country, and spoke to her in a gentle tone.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Junior Niece Bai¡­ the journey has been arduous for you as well.¡±


    As Chen Mobai prepared to leave, he saw Bai Cai standing next to Xue Ting. Out of politeness, he addressed her as well. Hearing his words, her tense expression seemed to soften as she quickly nodded in response.


    Bai Cai: ¡°It¡¯s my duty to do so.¡±


    At that moment, two streaks of sword light flew in from afar, and two Foundation Establishment practitioners from Golden Cliff landed before Chen Mobai, paying their respects.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, Mo Ancestor has sent us to receive you.¡±


    One of them was Ning Leshan, whom Chen Mobai recognized, and the other had a square face and large ears, his complexion a fiery red, his cultivation level nearly at the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    Only after the introduction did he know that this was one of the twelve executors of Golden Cliff, Jia Songyang!


    He had the most interaction with the Divine Wood Sect during the time of Chu Zuoshu¡¯s governance.


    Because Golden Cliff did not have a position of Sect Leader, the inner gate disciples were divided into factions according to the sword techniques they practiced, with twelve sword wielders each presiding over one of the twelve different sword techniques.


    Jia Songyang was practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue, and therefore had the closest relations with the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Jia nephew¡¯s cultivation is not bad, it seems he has already condensed the Sword Sha.¡±


    With one glance, Chen Mobai saw through the real state of Jia Songyang¡¯s cultivation; he was half a notch higher than Xie Yuntian and had cultivated three strands of the Green Flames Sword Sha.


    ¡°I still have many confusions about cultivation and hope I can consult with Uncle Master Chen.¡±


    Jia Songyang also spoke with the courtesy of a disciple, as Chen Mobai, who specialized in the Red Flame Sword Jue, was the benchmark on his path.


    ¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s not keep Brother Mo waiting too long.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and laughed heartily, letting Ning Leshan and Jia Songyang lead the way. He then rode the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and followed them towards the nearest teleportation array.


    Watching them disappear, Bai Cai finally came back to her senses, her eyes slightly sharp as she looked at Xue Ting beside her.


    ¡°Junior Sister, you seem to have a good relationship with Sect Master Chen?¡±


    ¡°In the past, I was a disciple of Senior Sister Lan, who sent me to study the methods of Fire Spirit Rice planting under the tutelage of Sect Master Chen at South Mountain. Though I do not have the official title of a disciple, I am essentially one.¡±


    Xue Ting spoke calmly, and Bai Cai really didn¡¯t know about this.


    After all, she was a cultivator dedicated to bitter cultivation, rarely caring about the workings of the Sect or anything similar.


    Kong Lingling also placed a lot of hope in her, hoping that she would break through as soon as possible to become the sect¡¯s second Core Formation cultivator.


    ¡°If Divine Wood Sect invades our Sect, you wouldn¡¯t forget that you are a cultivator of the Snow-blowing Palace, would you?¡±


    Bai Cai asked another question, to which Xue Ting turned her calm face towards her and glanced.


    ¡°Of course, I will always protect Snow Country and Frost Country.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear.¡±


    Bai Cai felt slightly relieved upon hearing this. She didn¡¯t know why, but seeing Chen Mobai treat the unremarkable Xue Ting differently and indifferently towards herself made her originally proud ice and snow Dao heart lose balance.


    ¡°I will return to the sect now. I will report to the Sect Leader truthfully about how you impressively completed the task and made Sect Master Chen leave Snow Country with a smile.¡±


    Bai Cai said this last phrase and turned to ride her flying sword towards the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Xue Ting watched her gradually disappearing figure, then turned her head towards the direction of Wind Country where Chen Mobai had disappeared. She reminisced about the unprecedented joy she felt on the way, quietly savoring it.


    Is this what it feels like to be praised and recognized?


    Is the feeling of joy filling your entire body satisfaction?


    If only I could truly become Sect Master Chen¡¯s disciple!


    Chen Mobai, of course, had no idea that his casual praise had filled the heart of this Snow-blowing Palace disciple with delight.


    He was led by Jia Songyang and Ning Leshan through the Wind Country¡¯s teleportation array and soon arrived at Golden Cliff.


    A familiar person was already waiting before the teleportation array.


    ¡°Brother Mo, I have kept you waiting.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected that Mo Douguang would be here to meet him; by all reason, it should be he who, as the junior brother, should go up the mountain to visit.


    ¡°She Peihua, attend to the others for me. Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Mo Douguang spoke to a graceful middle-aged man beside him. This person was also one of the twelve wielders and Mo Douguang¡¯s own eldest disciple.


    Chen Mobai was well aware of Mo Douguang¡¯s temperament and took a moment to instruct those with him. Then he and Mo Douguang transformed into escaping lights and disappeared from the spot.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this is the ¡®Primordial Stone¡¯.¡±

 Chapter 1010 - Chapter 1010 Chapter 554 The Wonderful Uses of the Hun Yuan

    Chapter 1010: Chapter 554 The Wonderful Uses of the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit Chapter 1010: Chapter 554 The Wonderful Uses of the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit In the days when Ancestor Hunyuan was still alive, he imparted three strands of Hun Yuan True Qi to Mo Douguang.


    One strand merged into Mo Douguang¡¯s body, another united with his Lifebound Flying Sword, and the last strand is within this Primordial Stone.


    This is a dull, fist-sized stone, indistinguishable from any ordinary stone and casually placed among others at the highest peak of Jinguang Cliff, exposed to the wind and sun.


    If it weren¡¯t for Mo Douguang pointing it out to Chen Mobai, he certainly would not have recognized it.


    ¡°Little brother, do you know what the Primordial Dao Fruit is?¡±


    ¡°Before I joined the sect, when I was a Loose Cultivator around Yun Meng Ze, I had heard that the Primordial Dao Fruit is the most divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness. With it, the ancestor swept through the Eastern Wilderness, and dominated over the Six Domains of the East Land.¡±


    Chen Mobai sat on the ground, touching the Primordial Stone with his hand while Mo Douguang stood casually beside him, facing the sunset glow as he began to recount this divine skill.


    ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit is not a cultivation technique, but a divine skill that takes Earth True Qi as its foundation. It cycles through the Five Elements and unifies them into a strand of Hun Yuan True Qi. Once mastered, it can break through any Five Elements Cultivation Technique in the world.¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard about these things too, but Mo Douguang would certainly not be discussing things that were recorded and passed down by the Divine Wood Sect, so he did not speak and waited for him to continue.


    As expected, Mo Douguang didn¡¯t leave him in suspense, ¡°Our cultivation methods fundamentally utilize the Five Elements Spiritual Power, and the Gold Core, as the crystallization of spiritual power, is the essence of the Five Elements. But if it were to be eroded by Hun Yuan True Qi, it would become fragile and dissolve away.¡±


    ¡°However, this is only how Hun Yuan True Qi is used to attack enemies. On the contrary, if one could control it precisely, it could be used to resolve the Gold Core within one¡¯s own body.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was full of confusion.


    Why would one use Hun Yuan True Qi to resolve their own Gold Core?


    If you don¡¯t understand, just ask¨Cit¡¯s always been his good habit.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Brother Mo, what is the purpose of doing this?¡±


    Mo Douguang: ¡°To achieve Nascent Soul Formation, the Gold Core must be broken for the Nascent Soul to emerge. This step is extremely intense and brutal. One step forward could mean life or death. However, in the Six Domains of Eastern Earth, some Holy Land Major Sects have, over the long years, devised methods to avoid this cruel process.¡±


    Mo Douguang: ¡°Some use external objects, like the Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s Three Lights Divine Water; others utilize powerful Magic Artifacts, like the Creation Ding of the Eastern Earth Holy Land; yet others employ secret techniques, with the Primordial Dao Fruit being among these.¡±


    Mo Douguang: ¡°This is the supreme divine skill of the First Origin Dao Palace. Once someone masters Hun Yuan True Qi, they can gently resolve the Gold Core related to their Five Elements, allowing the Nascent Soul within to effortlessly emerge and break through the Gold Core.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    He hadn¡¯t realized the Primordial Dao Fruit had such a heaven-defying effect!


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean achieving the Primordial Dao Fruit ensures Nascent Soul Formation?¡± Amidst his shock, Chen Mobai blurted out.


    In that moment, Chen Mobai, who had not been particularly interested in the Primordial Dao Fruit before, felt his heart stir.


    ¡°Not quite, Hun Yuan True Qi can only help a cultivator surpass the barrier of the Gold Core breaking for the Nascent Soul to emerge; nurturing the Nascent Soul, cultivating the Nascent Soul, and the transformation of the Nascent Soul are still up to the cultivator¡¯s own efforts,¡± Mo Douguang shook his head, saying something that slightly calmed Chen Mobai down.


    To describe it by analogy with the birth of life, Gold Core breaking for the Nascent Soul to emerge is like the final barrier to Nascent Soul Formation¨Conce crossed, it can be life or death.


    However, at the Immortal Gate, there is a specialized technique that allows a cultivator to dissipate their cultivation level and save their life if they fail at Nascent Soul Formation.


    Before the stage of the Gold Core breaking for the Nascent Soul to emerge, nurturing the Nascent Soul, cultivating the Nascent Soul, and even transforming the Nascent Soul still depend on the cultivator¡¯s resources and foundation.


    The Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant-Feeding Elixir, Infant-Accumulating Elixir, and Infant-Transforming Elixir are developed for this purpose.


    If one has enough Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, combined with the Primordial Dao Fruit, couldn¡¯t the chances of Nascent Soul Formation be increased to a hundred percent?


    Chen Mobai was already pondering this question.


    It was his forte.


    To harness the resources of both realms and craft for oneself a genuine persona of ¡°Qualification of Deification.¡±


    ¡°Brother Mo, how does one cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit?¡± Eager about his potential achievements at the Immortal Gate after Nascent Soul Formation, Chen Mobai instantly became motivated and began humbly seeking guidance.


    ¡°When our master passed me the Primordial Dao Fruit, I swore an oath of the Dao Heart that I could not teach the specific Cultivation Method to anyone,¡± Mo Douguang shook his head, indicating he could not reveal it.

    But details about the function and effects of the Primordial Dao Fruit that didn¡¯t involve the Cultivation Method were still outside the bounds of the oath of the Dao Heart.


    ¡°So if I want to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, does that mean only Zhou Ye from the Five Elements Sect can teach it to me?¡± Considering Zhou Ye, who inherited the mantle of Ancestor Hunyuan, he theoretically should be like Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue of the Divine Wood Sect, able to pass down the sect¡¯s highest teachings to outstanding disciples.


    ¡°Little brother, that¡¯s an impossibility,¡± Mo Douguang thought that Chen Mobai was daydreaming, guessing that even if Zhou Ye were to die, he would not pass the Primordial Dao Fruit on to the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°What if I conquer Hunyuan Immortal City and hold my sword against Zhou Ye¡¯s neck, would he speak then?¡± Chen Mobai proposed another possibility.


    After hearing this, Mo Douguang looked at the handsome young man before him with an exceptionally peculiar gaze, as he had never heard someone speak so arrogantly in his life.

 Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1011 Chapter 554 The Wonderful Use of the Primordial

    Chapter 1011: Chapter 554 The Wonderful Use of the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 Chapter 1011: Chapter 554 The Wonderful Use of the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 This is the only Immortal City in the Eastern Wilderness, and the very foundation of the Five Elements Sect, where even if only Zhou Ye alone were holding it down, it could still fend off Nascent Soul Cultivators for decades.


    ¡°Junior brother, Hunyuan Immortal City does have a Medium Transporting Formation.¡±


    Mo Douguang reminded him, even if they could breach the Hunyuan Immortal City, Zhou Ye could always escape using the Teleportation Array before its fall.


    The Medium Transporting Formation was capable of connecting with all the Small Teleportation Arrays within its range, which meant Zhou Ye could flee to Yun Meng Ze, or even to any one of the seven nations of Wu, Ming, Yan, Ji, Hao, Chun, and Qing that had Transporting Formations.


    Even if they waited until Zhou Shengqing transformed into an Embodiment Nascent Soul and amassed a great army to conquer Hunyuan Immortal City, capturing Zhou Ye alive would be an impossible feat.


    ¡°That is true; we need to think this through carefully.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, as the idea had just sprung to mind, and even if it were to be carried out, it would require long-term planning.


    However, this meant that Zhou Ye would now need to be the first target on his list.


    And next would be the Core Formation Cultivator from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°Inside this Primordial Stone, there lies a strand of Primordial True Qi that our master left during his prime,¡± began Mo Douguang again, ¡°He said that if there were truly a prodigious talent, they¡¯d be able to comprehend the cultivation method of the Primordial Dao Fruit from it. He passed the trial set by True Lord Yuan using this and obtained the legacy of this Ascended Monk.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded gravely but inwardly he felt bitter.


    What he hated most were matters that required enlightenment. Couldn¡¯t resources suffice?


    However, for now, he could look forward to the Enlightenment White Tea that Zhuo Ming was cultivating, and worst comes to worst, he could retire to Golden Cliff when his Cultivation Level reached Golden Core Perfection and he could practice the way of the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    He wouldn¡¯t even need to fabricate a reason, just claiming to have gained insights from observing the Primordial Stone, shutting himself away to ponder on the Primordial Dao Fruit!


    While Chen Mobai was musing over this, he suddenly noticed Mo Douguang looking at him with an expectant gaze.


    ¡°Brother Mo, are there any other taboos to be aware of while pondering over this Primordial Stone?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought Mo Douguang hadn¡¯t finished speaking and asked him.


    ¡°No, I have told you all that I can. From here on, it¡¯s up to your talent, junior brother,¡± Mo Douguang said, hoping that just like the master and Zhou Ye before him, he could cultivate the Primordial True Qi, or even achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    When Mo Douguang said this, his face seemed tinged with disappointment.


    Was he disappointed in himself?


    Did he know that my understanding is average and that I couldn¡¯t comprehend the Primordial Dao Fruit from the Primordial Stone?


    That shouldn¡¯t be the case; he¡¯s known throughout the Eastern Wilderness and Immortal Gate as an unparalleled genius with the qualifications for Divinity Transformation!


    Why had Mo Douguang decided he was inadequate without even giving him a chance to try¡­


    Caught in wonder, Chen Mobai suddenly realized that Mo Douguang was not a man to wear his emotions on his sleeve. He delved deeper into thought.


    After Core Formation, his mental processing abilities had greatly improved. He quickly ran through everything Mo Douguang had said that day, comparing it to everything he knew about the Primordial Dao Fruit, and soon identified the issue at hand.


    ¡°Brother Mo, isn¡¯t it said that only those with Earth Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root can cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit?¡±


    This was widely circulated in the Eastern Wilderness; otherwise, Ancestor Hunyuan wouldn¡¯t have been wildly overjoyed to encounter Zhou Ye, a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, and taken him under his wing almost like a son.


    ¡°Junior brother, you have indeed realized,¡± Mo Douguang was pleased when Chen Mobai caught the hint and asked the question.


    Since he couldn¡¯t disclose the precise method for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit, he could only hint at it. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t caught on, then perhaps it would mean he truly wasn¡¯t fated for the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    ¡°The master said my Metal Spirit Root was extremely exceptional, almost comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Mo Douguang said something very strange, but Chen Mobai immediately understood.


    If Mo Douguang, with his Metal Spirit Root, could cultivate, this meant that the Primordial Dao Fruit was not exclusive to those with the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.


    Thinking back to how Ancestor Hunyuan founded the Five Elements Sect, it¡¯s likely that Mo Douguang¡¯s method of cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit involved rearranging the sequence of the Five Elements¡¯ cyclical generation, starting with metal instead of earth and then producing the remaining four attributes in order, ultimately achieving the unity of the Five Elements and cultivating the Primordial True Qi, thereby comprehending the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    And if the Metal Spirit Root was viable, this indicated that any of the other four attributes of the Five Elements could be as well.


    However, Chen Mobai speculated that the orthodox method of cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit likely still started with the Earth attribute, which was why, to this day, Mo Douguang had yet to show any signs of entry.


    But these were minor issues; as long as he could find a way to that end, Chen Mobai was confident he could use the resources of both realms to amass the Primordial Dao Fruit to great success.


    Everyone in the Eastern Wilderness knew that the key to cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit to its highest level lay in the immense and boundless Five Elements Spiritual Power!


    And the Five Elements¡¯ essence technique of the Immortal Gates perfectly complemented the Primordial Dao Fruit!


    Nevertheless, it would definitely have to wait until he unified the Eastern Wilderness. Only then would he be able to disseminate the content related to the Yuanqi system, because he would need the power to command the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he could later improve the order and security of the Immortal Cultivation World of the Eastern Wilderness and achieve unified peaceful development for a hundred years, Chen Mobai was confident he could increase the number of cultivators to a million.


    Imagine, by then, if a million cultivators provided him with the Five Elements¡¯ essence for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit, he might not even need the so-called ¡®Five-colored Immortal Seed¡¯ to fully cultivate this supreme divine skill of the First Origin Dao Palace.


    Having this thought, Chen Mobai also decided that he should not spread the Five Elements¡¯ essence technique to the Eastern Wilderness prematurely.


    If Zhou Ye were to obtain it, relying on the base number of cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, he would certainly be able to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit with ease, and he might even be able to form his Golden Core from it.


    ¡°Brother Mo, could you transfer some of your spiritual power to me?¡±


    To verify his theory, Chen Mobai took out the Spirit-Testing Instrument, and although Mo Douguang found it a bit strange, he still nodded.


    Mo Douguang¡¯s Spiritual Root: [Metal 71, Wood 12, Water 7, Fire 15, Earth 6].


    The total of the Spiritual Root values was 111, which meant he must have consumed some heavenly and earthly treasures that could enhance Spiritual Roots. But since Mo Douguang had been cultivating for more than two hundred years and had taken too many substances, Chen Mobai did not bother to ask about it.


    According to the rudimentary method of detecting Spiritual Roots in the Eastern Wilderness, only values exceeding 20 would show, meaning Mo Douguang¡¯s testing likely revealed only the radiance of the Metal Spirit Root at the time.


    This is a characteristic of a mono-attributed Spiritual Root, which could potentially be mistaken for a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    However, in the major sects of the East Barbarians, there are still more accurate instruments and talismans for measuring Spiritual Roots that came from the East Land, which can confirm whether it is a Heavenly Spiritual Root or not.


    Mo Douguang had an outstanding Metal Spirit Root, but even Ancestor Hunyuan did not consider it a Heavenly Spiritual Root, which obviously means it had been tested.


    What a pity it was that he could not transfer the ¡®Technique of Turning into Gold¡¯ from the Immortal Gates; otherwise, Chen Mobai would at least choose to cultivate Mo Douguang into a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Junior brother, ponder well, but there¡¯s no need to wear yourself out excessively. This Primordial Dao Fruit, even in the East Land, is among the very top divine skills and it¡¯s quite common not to be able to master it,¡±


    After saying everything he wanted to, Mo Douguang turned and prepared to leave the mountain.


    He himself was an example of what not to do, having cultivated the sword techniques of the Five Elements after forming his Golden Core, hoping to master the Primordial True Qi, but despite possessing the seed left by Ancestor Hunyuan, he still failed to achieve it to this day.

    On the other hand, after obtaining the Zi Hua Sword Manual and glimpsing the profound mysteries of the Immortal Gates¡¯ sword techniques, he decided to abandon the Primordial Dao Fruit and focus solely on the Sword Dao. Thereafter, his realm and Divine Sense began to progress at a remarkable speed.


    Particularly after the matter of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was settled and Chen Mobai had emerged as an excellent successor, casting off a weighty burden, Mo Douguang¡¯s realm, which had been stagnant for nearly a hundred years on the Sword Dao, finally began to show signs of improvement.


    Recently, while practicing his sword techniques, he had a vague sense of approaching the realm of the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    ¡°Brother Mo, let me see you off.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was about to get up, Mo Douguang waved his hand and turned into a beam of sword light, vanishing from the mountaintop.

 Chapter 1012 - Chapter 1012 556

    Chapter 1012: 556 Chapter 1012: 556 Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense entered the Primordial Stone without any hindrance.


    The profound mysteries of the Primordial Dao Fruit began to reveal themselves before his eyes.


    It was as if he arrived in a dark, boundless starry sky, where colorful stars were being born and extinguished every moment. In this circulating process of life and death, rays of starlight burst forth like fireworks, dazzling and brilliant before fading away, only for new stars to flicker into existence and the cycle to repeat¡­


    Chen Mobai watched for a long time, thinking that this process of birth and extinction was the method of cultivation for the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    But even as his Divine Sense was exhausted, he could not discern any patterns within it.


    A wave of fatigue hit him, and Chen Mobai could only helplessly retract his Divine Sense from the Primordial Stone.


    Golden Cliff was a fourth-grade lower-class Spirit Vein, but because it contained an abundant Fine Iron Mine Vein, the Gold Spiritual Qi was exceptionally powerful.


    Furthermore, after the nurturing and softening effect of the Earth Qi, the Spiritual Energy here was very suitable for Sword Cultivators to absorb and refine.


    At the foot of the Golden Cliff lay a place known as the Sword Tomb.


    There once was a sect known as Sword Furnace here, which specialized in forging exceptional Flying Swords thanks to the Fine Iron Mine Vein. After the Five Elements Sect came to dominate the Eastern Wilderness, they naturally would not overlook this place and thus absorbed Sword Furnace into their sect.


    Mo Douguang was a mortal slave miner in Sword Furnace during that time, the child of nearby farmers, originally named Mo San. Life for these mining slaves was precarious; collapses were common, leading to miners being buried alive, or their lungs corroded by the Essence of Iron, resulting in early death.


    It was Zhou Shengqing who was sent by Ancestor Hunyuan to absorb Sword Furnace. After seizing the mine vein, he realized that aside from mortals, there were also some Loose Cultivators, and he pondered enrolling them into the sect as well.


    Naturally, testing for the Spiritual Root was unavoidable, and that was when Mo San¡¯s single-attribute Metal Spirit Root was discovered.


    Zhou Shengqing was extremely pleased. He knew clearly that his master was searching for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, so he personally taught Mo San the art of Qi Cultivation and took him back to Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Although Mo San was later found not to be the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Ancestor Hunyuan was still very pleased and bestowed upon him the name ¡°Douguang,¡± taking him as his fifth personal Disciple.


    While Mo Douguang was cultivating in the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing, as his mentor and senior brother, had the best relationship with him. In fact, often times, because Ancestor Hunyuan was in long periods of seclusion, Mo Douguang would seek guidance from Zhou Shengqing regarding any issues he encountered in his cultivation. Zhou Shengqing provided guidance earnestly.


    It was for this reason that later, when the family branched out, Mo Douguang wholeheartedly followed Zhou Shengqing.


    In the beginning, after the split, Mo Douguang led the Sword Cultivators of the Metal Vein and resided in Giant Tree Ridge for over a decade. Only after the dust had settled did he consider his own cultivation and settle on Golden Cliff, taking over this Spirit Vein.


    This Sword Tomb was originally a forest of swords formed from the discarded, broken, and flawed Flying Swords of Sword Furnace and later the Five Elements Sect. Ordinary people entering it would be suppressed by the formidable Sword Qi and corroded by the Essence of Iron, suffering severe damage to their Vital Energy.


    After establishing his sect here, Mo Douguang set the Sword Tomb as an entry checkpoint.


    If a mortal could pass through the Sword Tomb, even without a Spiritual Root, they could become an Outer Sect Disciple of Golden Cliff and be taught superior swordsmanship. However, achieving this was one in ten thousand, these were so-called innate masters, the supremes of the martial world.


    Only Outer Sect Disciples who could completely cross the Sword Tomb could become Inner Sect Disciples,


    Those who could achieve this were basically at least at the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, with Divine Sense developed, so they would not be overwhelmed by the formidable Sword Qi.


    Even so, it still depended on luck.


    Because after stepping out of the Sword Tomb, there would be a true inheritor of Golden Cliff to stand guard.


    Outer Sect Disciples needed to have developed Sword Qi, and only after the maturity of their Sword Qi was acknowledged by a true inheritor, could they truly break away from the Sword Tomb and become an official disciple of Golden Cliff.


    Compared to the accommodating and permissive nature of the Divine Wood Sect, Golden Cliff, from top to bottom, upheld the principle of prioritizing quality.


    Wang Sheng was a Loose Cultivator, who, sixteen years ago, had saved enough Spirit Stones at Yun Meng Ze and came to Wind Country to join Golden Cliff, the number one sword sect in the Eastern Wilderness. To this day, after refining the Qianyuan Sword Tactics to perfection, he was making his seventy-second attempt to challenge the Sword Tomb.


    Besides him, there was another Sister with a beautiful visage.


    ¡°Sister Luo, please go ahead!¡±


    At the entrance of the Sword Tomb, they exchanged glances, and Wang Sheng gestured for his senior sister to enter first with a wave of his hand. She nodded her head and then turned to step into the mist-shrouded forest of swords.


    ¡°She has finally formed her Sword Qi too, and it seems very likely that her Daoist partner will be guarding the Sword Tomb this time.¡±


    Wang Sheng murmured to himself as he watched Luo Lin¡¯s disappearing figure.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    She was also well-known among the Outer Sect, as her Daoist partner was one of the two main inheritors of the Purple Luo Sword Tactics lineage at Golden Cliff, named Shi Pengyi.


    These two individuals originated from a small sect as Daoist siblings, but later on, only the two of them remained, almost like Loose Cultivators. They spent a long time traveling through Yun Meng Ze and various countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and it seemed that they performed quite well in the war between Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak, earning Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recommendation and joining Golden Cliff.


    Because Shi Pengyi possessed outstanding Cultivation Level, after ten years of converting his cultivation technique, he easily formed Sword Qi and later became a true inheritor.


    But his Daoist partner, Luo Lin, had ordinary talent and took twenty years after joining Golden Cliff just to achieve Sword Gang Transforming Qi, meeting the minimum requirement to become an Inner Sect Disciple.


    However, with Shi Pengyi as her Daoist partner, as long as Luo Lin formed her Sword Qi, whichever true inheritor was guarding the Sword Tomb would have to respect Shi Pengyi.

 Chapter 1013 - Chapter 1013 Chapter 556 Evolution of the Sword Diagram_2

    Chapter 1013: Chapter 556 Evolution of the Sword Diagram_2 Chapter 1013: Chapter 556 Evolution of the Sword Diagram_2 ¡°`


    ¡°I have no one but myself to rely on!¡±


    ¡°`


    Wang Sheng thought this and couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit despondent.


    But there was no other way. As a loose cultivator with no background to speak of, just being able to step into the world of immortal cultivation was an enormous stroke of luck.


    Soon, Wang Sheng arrived at the end of the Sword Tomb, just in time to see the purple luo sword qi around Luo Lin dissipate, causing her to stumble back two steps.


    The town guard of the Sword Tomb turned out not to be Shi Pengyi, but a beautiful female sword cultivator with narrow eyebrows and a slightly cold gaze.


    ¡°You may pass, Junior Sister Luo.¡±


    Clearly, after repelling Luo Lin, she gestured with a wave of her hand to indicate that Luo Lin had passed.


    ¡°Thank you, Sister Guo.¡±


    Luo Lin, visibly thrilled, retracted her flying sword and ran out of the Sword Tomb.


    A tall man with two sword scars on his face was already waiting there¨CShi Pengyi. However, their emotional expression was very restrained; upon meeting, they simply held hands and exchanged heartfelt sentiments.


    ¡°Outer Sect disciple Wang Sheng requests guidance from Sister Guo.¡±


    At this time, Wang Sheng approached, taking out his Rank-1 intermediate grade flying sword and saluting Sister Guo.


    ¡°Make your move.¡±


    Sister Guo, with a chilly expression, was already planning to go easy. After all, she had let Luo Lin pass, and blocking this fellow would seem unfair.


    Buzz buzz¡­


    Sister Guo, observing Wang Sheng¡¯s prime element sword qi, nodded slightly in approval. It was not bad and had caught her attention.


    Just as she was about to casually break his attack, a slight tremor suddenly emerged within the Sword Tomb. Amidst the crackling sounds, many broken flying swords inserted into the ground fell, creating a sharp noise.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Has Elder Bai refined another Rank-3 flying sword?¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s the spirit vein of the entire Golden Cliff that¡¯s fluctuating!¡±


    Wang Sheng and Sister Guo both stopped their actions, and Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, holding hands, looked at each other in bewilderment. Soon, however, they discerned the cause.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    Accompanied by Luo Lin¡¯s exclamation, the four looked up.


    They saw atop the highest peak of the Golden Cliff, pure and vast spiritual energy converging continuously, forming colorful sword lights into a giant luminous wheel, enveloping the mountaintop as if it were a multicolored ring.


    After the sword light formed a formation, it continued to evolve, and a hazy grey vortex appeared at the center, resembling a black hole that swallowed everything.


    Quickly, the five-colored sword lights, as if being sublimated, followed an exceptionally profound trajectory towards the core¡¯s vortex, resembling shooting stars with dazzling brilliance, tracing five brightly colored streaks of light.


    However, the vortex seemed to contain a strong force of stasis. When the sword lights fell into it, they either stopped, circled on the spot, or directly exploded, and some even disappeared without a trace.


    Meanwhile, the round sword formation shaped like a colorful ring continued to operate, drawing the vast spiritual energy of the Golden Cliff, incessantly evolving five elements sword qi, and piercing into the black hole from all directions and in various angles, creating a brilliant colored diagram within.


    To the four Qi practitioners watching, it was as if a starry sky from beyond had descended upon the mountaintop of the Golden Cliff. The colorful sword lights, like meteors, fell into it, manifesting life and death, illusion incessantly, sketching different dazzling patterns each moment.


    The spectacle atop the Golden Cliff naturally caught everyone¡¯s attention.


    Mo Douguang was the first to fly out and hovered in mid-air.


    Following him, Jia Songyang and the other twelve sword wielders also flew over, and after paying respects to Mo Douguang, they all looked at the brilliant sword formation on their own mountaintop, their faces filled with shock.


    ¡°I can actually see the essence of my Green Wood Sword Manual within it.¡±


    ¡°Not just that, I can find a reference to my Gold Wind Sword Manual as well.¡±


    ¡°My Qianyuan Sword Tactics are no exception.¡±


    After observing the colorful ring and the splendid sword formation within the vortex for a while, everyone was shocked and began to discuss animatedly.


    ¡°Could it be that Elder Chen has fully comprehended the Primordial Dao Fruit¡­¡±


    As the Primordial Stone rests atop the mountain, and being the core twelve sword-bearers of Golden Cliff, they were naturally aware of it, and Mo Douguang even allowed each of them a chance to comprehend it.


    Alas, even if they exhausted their Divine Sense, they could not grasp its patterns.


    And the foundation of the Primordial Dao Fruit is the Five Elements Spiritual Power.


    Now, seeing the state of the mountain summit, that thought occurred to them all, involuntarily causing them to take in a breath of cold air.


    ¡°All of you, go down and reassure the disciples, the Sword Array Brother Chen is evolving contains the profound essence of the Five Elements sword technique, but forcefully attempting to understand it with insufficient cultivation could easily harm one¡¯s Heart and Mind.¡±


    As soon as Mo Douguang¡¯s words fell, the nearby Foundation Establishment Practitioners immediately nodded in agreement and then flew down.


    But after conveying the message to the Qi Cultivating Disciples, they all flew up again, gazing at the Sword Array on the mountain top as if bewitched.


    Especially those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who practiced sword techniques related to the Five Elements properties, seeing where their own Sword Dao was lacking within it. So, sword-light can be operated and enhanced in such a manner, even merging sword-light from different elements¡­


    This Elder Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, truly worthy of being the prime swordsmanship talent of the Eastern Wilderness in a millennium!


    The cultivators of Golden Cliff practically worshiped Mo Douguang as a deity.


    So when Chen Mobai appeared out of nowhere, acclaimed as the top Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, they were actually reluctant to accept it.


    Even between brother sects, when it comes to the title of the number one in the Sword Dao, they would never back down.


    After Ancestor Hunyuan passed away, Elder Mo reigned as the top Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness for a hundred years. Chen Mobai might possess exceptional talent, having vanquished Nanxuan Jing, but after all, he had just achieved Core Formation; how could he dare to proclaim himself as the number one.


    The Golden Cliff believed, excluding the influence of the Sword Artifact, purely based on the Sword Dao Realm, Mo Douguang was certainly stronger than Chen Mobai.


    This viewpoint was not held by just a few within Golden Cliff.


    The twelve bearers of the sword felt even more so.


    However, today, after seeing the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation evolved by Chen Mobai at the mountain summit, after all, the profundities of the Five Elements sword techniques, doubt began to emerge.


    In this moment, they acknowledged that Chen Mobai¡¯s swordsmanship talent exceeded their own Elder Mo¡¯s.


    But even so, to become the top Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, they thought he should at least wait until Elder Chen¡¯s realm advanced further, at least to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.


    As the cultivators of Golden Cliff with this mindset watched, the five-colored sword wheel evolved atop Golden Cliff reached its most splendid extent.


    Within the black hole, the sword qi that was either still, spinning, flickering, or dim, like countless stars, in an instant all fired an infinite amount of light, seemingly responding to something, and in the absence of any regularity, reached an unprecedented point of resonance!


    Suddenly, a white hole appeared at the center of the black hole, and in the blink of an eye, it spread outward, enveloping the whole black hole, devouring all the sword qi, even submerging the five-colored sword wheel.


    In that instant, for all cultivators at Golden Cliff gazing directly at the mountain peak, nothing but this streak of pure white remained in their eyes, devoid of any other color.


    ¡­


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, aren¡¯t you going to comprehend it for a few more days?¡±


    Mo Douguang looked at Chen Mobai in slight surprise. After the latter had evolved that Sword Array on the mountain top of Golden Cliff, he had sat quietly for three days, but today he had summoned him, saying he wished to take his leave.


    If any other cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness had the opportunity to comprehend the Primordial Stone, they would probably not willingly leave, even if Mo Douguang sent them away.

    ¡°My aptitude and understanding are still a bit lacking, although I¡¯ve comprehended the transformation of the Five Elements Sword Sha from the Primordial Stone, I still can¡¯t fully grasp the most crucial Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    ¡°This is probably my current limit. Besides, my heart is occupied with worries as I need to go to the Ming Nation to look for my disciple¡¯s whereabouts, unable to devote myself entirely.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes for me to pass on the sect to the next generation and reach Golden Core Perfection, that¡¯s when I¡¯ll return to Golden Cliff, and I suppose Brother won¡¯t send me away then,¡± said Chen Mobai in a somewhat joking manner.


    ¡°If Brother wants to come, I could even give you Golden Cliff,¡± responded Mo Douguang seriously.


    Ever since Chen Mobai evolved the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation at the mountaintop, he had become the undisputed champion of swordsmanship talent in the minds of all the cultivators at Golden Cliff.

 Chapter 1014 - Chapter 1014 Chapter 556 Earth Spirit Locusts (Bonus Chapter

    Chapter 1014: Chapter 556 Earth Spirit Locusts (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Pass 5) Chapter 1014: Chapter 556 Earth Spirit Locusts (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Pass 5) Chen Mobai planned to leave, and Mo Douguang naturally wouldn¡¯t stop him; he even intended to personally escort Chen Mobai to the border between Wind Country and Summer Country.


    ¡°Brother Mo, that¡¯s too kind of you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m free anyway, and escorting you to the border will also serve as a deterrent to Yan Shaoyin.¡±


    Since Mo Douguang said so, Chen Mobai no longer refused.


    Although Back to Sky Valley had only Yan Shaoyin as a Core Formation practitioner, because it was backed by the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, the Divine Wood Sect actually couldn¡¯t do much about him.


    But the necessary deterrence was still needed; in the hundred years after Ancestor Hunyuan passed away in meditation, Back to Sky Valley had had it too easy.


    When the two of them went out, Mu Yuan and the others were already waiting outside.


    Besides them, there were also the Twelve Swordsmen of Golden Cliff.


    Mo Douguang asked Chen Mobai to wait a moment, as he had to instruct a few Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were in charge of various affairs.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, although I have achieved some success in cultivating the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, when I try to use it, it never flows smoothly as I wish¡­¡±


    Taking advantage of the moment, Jia Songyang approached and shamelessly sought guidance from Chen Mobai regarding various confusions he faced while cultivating the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    As Golden Cliff and the Divine Wood Sect were brother sects, and Jia Songyang was also considered his junior, Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude was relaxed as he began to give advice.


    With his great achievement in the Red Flame Sword Art, instructing a Foundation Establishment Practitioner was naturally effortless for him, and considering he still had a few Green Flames Sword Slaughter techniques that he hadn¡¯t refined into Golden Flame, he simply demonstrated it for Jia Songyang.


    No sooner had he opened his mouth than he spat out a pearl imbued with a faint green color, faintly emitting a brilliant light.


    ¡°Sword Practicing into Marrow!¡±


    Jia Songyang¡¯s eyes widened in amazement at this sight, his face full of envy. This was the mark of a complete and thorough mastery of the powers of Sword Sha and something he had always pursued but had never been able to achieve.


    The power of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter was simply too domineering and explosive; for a Foundation Establishment Practitioner like him to control it was already quite difficult given his spiritual body and physique.


    After all, not everyone had a Fire Spirit Body like Chen Mobai¡¯s, where high temperatures from flames actually made his blood circulation even more vigorous.


    ¡°Watch closely!¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, the Sword Pill condensed from the Green Flames Sword Slaughter gradually fell apart under his divine sense control, intentionally slowly dispersing into a strand of green and blue light that gently flew towards the mountain top of Golden Cliff.


    With a whooshing sound,


    a pine tree at the mountain top was encircled by the Sword Sha for a complete turn.


    Then, all the branches along with their needles were sheared off, but to Jia Songyang¡¯s astonishment, the branches cut by the Green Flames Sword Slaughter weren¡¯t burnt to ash, and even the cut ends were smooth and new, with no signs of charring.


    This indicated that Chen Mobai had constrained all the high temperatures of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, achieving this result merely with the sharpness of the Sword Sha.


    ¡°From now on, practice the way I just showed you. Find any tree and, when you can cut off its branches and the ends show no charring, it will mean you¡¯ve mastered the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. However, if you want to turn the Sword into Marrow, you need to ensure that the cut is moist and when reattached, the branch can still survive and thrive.¡±


    ¡°I will never forget Uncle Chen¡¯s guidance and grace.¡±


    Jia Songyang had merely sought to resolve his doubts, but Chen Mobai had imparted to him the ¡°true essence¡± of refining his Sword into Marrow. After hearing this, Jia Songyang promptly bowed deeply to show his gratitude.


    This tip was something Chen Mobai found on auxiliary cultivation software before he trained in the Sword Sha, initially intended for his personal use.


    But who would have thought his Fire Spirit Body was so profound that once he had refined the Sword Sha, he went straight into Sword Practicing into Marrow.


    ¡°Although the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff are two separate sects, they are united as one. You, my junior, as well as the other juniors present, may all use this method in your practice. I hope that as you grow stronger in the future, Brother Mo and I can feel more at ease.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with ease, and the other Foundation Establishment Practitioners of Golden Cliff all looked over with gratitude, not forgetting to bow excitedly.


    Even Mo Douguang paused his conversation, his eyes revealing a trace of shock.


    He considered himself an elder generous with the teachings of cultivation techniques, having passed on all twelve Sword Techniques copied from the Five Elements Sect to the Twelve Swordsmen without reservation.


    However, Mo Douguang still only shared certain tricks and methods of sword training with his direct disciples.


    Now, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mo Douguang felt his own vision might be too limited.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, I also have a few issues when I cultivate¡­¡±


    Seeing how Jia Songyang had been treated, another Foundation Establishment Practitioner from Golden Cliff couldn¡¯t help but speak up with a thick face.


    ¡°Enough. The junior brother has a long journey ahead, so let¡¯s stop here for today. All of you may leave now.¡±


    Mo Douguang spoke up, curbing the eagerness of those below who were planning to surge forward for advice.


    His authority on Golden Cliff was deep-rooted, and at his word, everyone could only reluctantly say their farewells and leave.


    ¡°Junior brother, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Chen Mobai nodded, unfolded the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and the Divine Wood Sect group immediately stepped onto it.


    With Mo Douguang leading the way, they transformed into a rainbow-colored cloud, flying away from the mountain top of Golden Cliff.


    Summer Country was located on the southeast side of the Eastern Wilderness, and due to the constant volcanic eruptions, it was the hottest area in the entire barrens, in stark contrast to Snow Frost Country.


    Wind Country and Jian Country, situated between the two countries, were the most habitable areas with the most suitable climates in the whole Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Because of the volcanoes, Summer Country has an abundance of terrestrial fire resources, which was why the founding ancestor of Back to Sky Valley chose it as the place to establish the sect.¡±

 Chapter 1015 - Chapter 1015 556

    Chapter 1015: 556 Chapter 1015: 556 On their way, Mo Douguang and Chen Mobai discussed the major factions of the Eastern Wilderness as they traveled at high speed, quickly reaching the border.


    ¡°Greetings to Sect Master Chen and Ancestor Mo!¡±


    At the border of Summer Country and Wind Country, Ye Bopei from Back to Sky Valley had been waiting there for some time. Seeing Chen Mobai and his group arrive, he immediately flew up to greet them.


    ¡°What about Yan Shaoyin? Not coming to meet us in person, isn¡¯t that a bit disrespectful?¡±


    Mo Douguang said this; it seemed he had come especially to provoke.


    ¡°Please forgive us, revered ancestors. My master had indeed planned to personally come to greet you, but there has been a sudden outbreak of Earth Spirit Locusts in the Spirit Fields of the Flower Country. To ensure that no plague of locusts forms, he has already rushed there personally. Should Sect Master Chen wait in Back to Sky Valley for two days, or should I take you directly to the Flower Country to meet my master?¡±


    Ye Bopei apologized with a remorseful expression, then explained the situation.


    ¡°Locusts?¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, looked at Ye Bopei with some surprise.


    Could such a trivial matter be compared with his visit as the Sect Leader of Eastern Wilderness¡¯s foremost sect?


    However, he then saw the faces of the people from the Divine Wood Sect, even Mo Douguang, all turn serious upon hearing the word ¡°locusts,¡± as if it really was some earth-shattering crisis.


    ¡°If a locust plague were to form, it would be a great calamity for the entire Eastern Wilderness. Do you need our help?¡±


    Mo Douguang asked, his tone completely different from his previously cold demeanor.


    ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor Mo. It just so happens that it¡¯s the harvest season for Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, and Master Yu from the Starry Sky Commerce Association is in the valley. He has already rushed over with my master.¡±


    ¡°Yu Shuji, huh! Heh, I suspect he¡¯s there to bolster Back to Sky Valley¡¯s forces,¡± Mo Douguang sneered after hearing this, but Ye Bopei remained silent as if he had not heard the remark.


    Chen Mobai had also heard of the great name of Yu Shuji, a Golden Core Cultivator of the Star Heaven Dao Sect and a Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Master. Within the regions of East Barbarians, Eastern Wilderness, and Dongwu, he could be considered the premier Spirit Plant Master.


    ¡°Brother Mo, I¡¯ll leave you here then.¡±


    Knowing Yu Shuji was present, Mo Douguang realized his presence would likely not be intimidating enough, so he decided not to waste more time.


    ¡°Brother Mo, I still have a few words to discuss with you.¡±


    Seeing Mo Douguang about to leave, Chen Mobai quickly called out to him, and then the two Golden Core Cultivators ascended higher into the sky.


    Ye Bopei, Mu Yuan, and the others had no choice but to wait on the ground until their conversation finished.


    ¡°Junior Brother, what else is there?


    ¡°Are locust plagues that terrifying?¡±


    As a Sect Leader, Chen Mobai found it inappropriate to ask his subordinates these questions, so he had to hold on to Mo Douguang.


    ¡°I¡¯d forgotten Junior Brother is young and probably hasn¡¯t experienced the despair of a sky-blanketing locust plague. I saw with my own eyes when I was a child, a cow reduced to nothing but bones within a few breaths.¡±


    Mo Douguang¡¯s eyes showed a rare flash of fear as he spoke, clearly, the impression from his childhood was terrifying.


    ¡°The locust plague in the Eastern Wilderness dates back a long time, all the way to the initial pioneering days.¡±


    After reminiscing for a moment, Mo Douguang began to narrate.


    ¡°Junior Brother, have you never wondered why Snow Country and Frost Country always have cold climates with snow, despite being at the very center of the Eastern Wilderness and not at a high altitude? Logically, they should have clear seasons like Jian Country and Wind Country do.¡±


    Chen Mobai had never really considered this question, assuming if he had even noticed the anomaly, that it was due to the Spirit Veins or geographic peculiarities; since it wasn¡¯t a pressing matter, he didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Oh, does this have something to do with the locust plague?¡±


    Mo Douguang nodded, ¡°I¡¯ve heard from my master that ten thousand years ago, when the Eastern Wilderness was still the Land of Ruins, a nest of Locust Monster Beasts dwelled at its center. They devoured not only Spirit Grass and grains but also trees, beasts, and even humans. Everywhere they went, the land was rendered desolate.¡±


    ¡°Rock Country, Sky Country, Rainbow Country, and even our Wind Country, as well as the neighboring Frost Country and Snow Country, became barren and desolate because these locusts had consumed them for thousands of years.¡±


    ¡°The major sects of East Land in charge of pioneering the Eastern Wilderness encountered these Earth Spirit Locusts and lost a great number of people. In the end, they even had to call upon the Holy Land before they could barely exterminate this sky-blanketing swarm of monster beasts.¡±


    ¡°And the final battlefield was in Snow Country and Frost Country, where an old ancestor from a powerful sect in the East Land known as Ice performed an act. At its peak, this sect was as renowned as Fen Tianjing Di and had produced cultivators who reached Divinity Transformation. Their most proficient skills were ice technique Dao methods,¡±


    ¡°Though Earth Spirit Locusts reproduce rapidly, they need to draw energy from earth fire to grow. An ancestor of the Ice sect used a forbidden Dao method, transforming the once volcanic Frost Country Snow Country into the icy snowy world as we know it today, thus exterminating the Mother Locust that nearly devoured the entire Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be shocked upon hearing this¨Che hadn¡¯t anticipated that the environment in the Eastern Wilderness was so perilous before it was settled.


    However, locusts can indeed be exceedingly troublesome if they become a plague.


    Records of such issues existed even during the ancient times of the Immortal Gate civilisation.


    Even now, if one is not careful, there can be news of various pests eating away at the precious rice strains of the Immortal Gate.


    But within the Immortal Gate, there are ample methods to deal with these pests.


    When Chen Mobai was studying Agricultural Studies at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, aside from knowledge about Spirit Plants, half of his studies focused on how to efficiently and harmlessly eradicate various pests.


    Among these, methods to deal with locusts were the most numerous.


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Grand Ancestor Yiyuan was born during the pioneering period of the Eastern Wilderness. His parents were Loose Cultivators from the East Land, who came here to take a chance at obtaining resources for Foundation Establishment but unexpectedly conceived.¡±


    Mo Douguang went on to discuss another matter, as disciples of Ancestor Hunyuan, they have always considered True Lord Yuan as their own Grandmaster.


    ¡°So, the origins of the Snow-blowing Palace are those left by the Ice sect, and it¡¯s also a Holy Land legacy?¡± Chen Mobai suddenly thought of this and asked Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Indeed, after the ancestor of the Ice sect executed the Mother Locust, he was injured, and so he entrusted the task of exterminating the remaining lower-ranked locusts to a disciple.¡±


    ¡°Due to the multitude of locusts and the vastness of the Eastern Wilderness, it was inevitable that areas would be missed by a single person. Not wishing to stay long in this barren land, this disciple took on an Ice Spirit Root disciple from among the pioneer cultivators. This person is the Grandmaster of the Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    ¡°She took on the task of suppressing and exterminating the locusts. Feeling that she couldn¡¯t do it all by herself, she began to take in many disciples, establishing the lineage of the Snow-blowing Palace. Once her disciples reached Core Formation, she put aside everything and went to the East Land to join the Ice Holy Land.¡±


    ¡°As long as a Golden Core Cultivator appears in the Snow-blowing Palace, the preceding Golden Core Cultivator would head to the East Land, in search of more advanced Dao methods and legacies, until the Ice Holy Land too fell apart during the great catastrophe.¡±


    Without the Ice Holy Land, the Golden Core Cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, even if they went to the East Land, had no support.


    Nonetheless, the reputation of being a legacy of a Holy Land still had some utility. When Ancestor Hunyuan dominated the Eastern Wilderness, he destroyed many great sects with Golden Core cultivators, but he spared the Snow-blowing Palace, precisely because of this reason.


    ¡°Therefore, in the Eastern Wilderness, once locusts show the potential to become a plague, they must be slain and exterminated promptly.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Brother, for clearing up my confusion,¡±


    After hearing Mo Douguang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai suddenly understood.


    ¡°Junior Brother, I will take my leave now. Call me if you need anything; I can come quickly!¡±


    After greeting Chen Mobai, Mo Douguang transformed into Sword Light and soared towards Golden Cliff.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me to see Master Yan.¡±


    After bidding farewell to Mo Douguang, Chen Mobai descended and said to Ye Bopei.


    He held quite a bit of respect for Yan Shaoyin, the top Alchemist of the Eastern Wilderness, especially since he was the one who refined the Golden Liquid Jade Pill for him.


    Moreover, if he were to collect resources from the Eastern Wilderness to refine the Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine in the future, he might only be able to rely on Yan Shaoyin.


    After all, among the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Alchemists, Zeng Woyou¡¯s potential was already exhausted, and among the next generation, although Yan Jinye had an excellent Alchemy talent, she would need to at least reach Core Formation before she could refine Fourth Grade Superior Elixirs.

    Chen Mobai felt he might not be able to wait that long.


    Therefore, it was necessary to cultivate a good relationship with this top Alchemist of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Ye Bopei led Chen Mobai and the others through the Teleportation Array of Back to Sky Valley, heading towards Flower Country, which boasted the most Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°It¡¯s nearly the territory of Summer Country, yet the climate is still so cool?¡±


    The borders of Wind Country are among the smallest in the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and with two Golden Core Cultivators putting forth effort, soon their group arrived at

 Chapter 1016 - Chapter 1016 Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice

    Chapter 1016: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice Chapter 1016: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice Flower Country is located in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness, with spring-like weather year-round and a pleasant climate.


    Although it is a mountainous area, there are large rivers flowing from the Cloud Dream Marsh nearby, with abundant rainfall, which is highly suitable for the cultivation of various spirit plant medicinal materials.


    In the early days when the Eastern Wilderness was opened up, members of Star Heaven Dao Sect participated, and after the successful opening, they chose this area to cultivate appropriate spirit rice and herbs.


    However, due to the exceedingly remote distance, none of the elder cultivators from Star Heaven Dao Sect were willing to oversee it for extended periods, so ultimately they left the area for the native powers of the Eastern Wilderness to manage. They would just dispatch merchant caravans to take away most of the resources every harvest season.


    The most famous among these is the Rank-3 Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    This spirit rice is considered a supreme treasure for Body Refining Cultivators. Consumed over a long period, it not only refines the body and boosts vigor and vitality but also nourishes the Divine Sense. It¡¯s acclaimed as the number one spirit rice of the Eastern Wilderness.


    When harvested each year, it¡¯s fiercely contested over by the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is cultivated on the only plain in the center of Flower Country, over ten thousand acres of Rank-3 Spirit Fields, made possible by a Rank-4 Spirit Vein dispersed by Star Heaven Dao Sect in ancient times.


    While Back to Sky Valley is nominally the ruler of Flower Country, all forces in the Eastern Wilderness know that they merely manage Flower Country on behalf of Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    The Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice matures once every twenty years, yielding a hundred pounds per acre.


    Provided that the rain and Spiritual Energy are plentiful and there are no disasters like locust plagues, Back to Sky Valley can guarantee an annual output of 50,000 pounds of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    And of these, Star Heaven Dao Sect will take seventy percent, leaving only thirty percent for Back to Sky Valley.


    Moreover, this thirty percent is only allowed to be sold within the Eastern Wilderness, as Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is also considered one of the outstanding products of Starry Sky Commerce Guild. They aim to maintain an exclusive possession within the Eastern Land.


    But even just thirty percent allows Back to Sky Valley to make a killing every year.


    The price for Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is ten pounds per top-grade Spirit Stone, amounting to an annual income of 1,500 top-grade Spirit Stones.


    After deducting the cultivation costs and Spirit Field maintenance, Back to Sky Valley can earn three to four hundred top-grade Spirit Stones each year from Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    ¡°With a monopoly position while keeping prices within a reasonable range, your reputation in the Eastern Wilderness must be very positive,¡±


    Before Core Formation, Chen Mobai was famously a sect-based homebody, not distracted by matters beyond the improvement of his cultivation. So, this was the first time he had such detailed information about the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    Upon hearing this, Ye Bopei gave a sheepish smile, neither confirming nor denying.


    ¡°Sect Master, when Back to Sky Valley had just become independent from the Five Elements Sect, they increased the price of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice by three to four times. Afterwards, Zhou Laozu and the others turned to the East Barbarians to purchase the Golden Cloud Rice, Fire Crystal Rice, and others. Once Starry Sky Commerce Guild came over to sell Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice themselves, they drove down Back to Sky Valley¡¯s prices. Since then, the prices have remained stable.¡±


    Gu Yan sent a sound transmission to Chen Mobai, revealing this hidden affair.


    Originating from a family of immortal cultivators in Rain Country and skilled in planting spirit rice, she had a profound memory of the infamous flooding of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in the history of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Because Back to Sky Valley was too avaricious at the time, and even Star Heaven Dao Sect found it unacceptable.


    After Ancestor Hunyuan, the towering figure, was no longer present, Yan Shaoyin indulged in extravagance for a long time. When the Five Elements Sect split, he increased the prices of elixirs sold to both parties by several times.


    However, later on, Divine Wood Sect and Five Elements Sect would rather waste time traveling to the East Barbarians and Dongwu to purchase the necessary elixirs and spirit rice than buy from Back to Sky Valley, thereby suppressing Yan Shaoyin¡¯s momentum.


    Moreover, as Back to Sky Valley is at the pinnacle of alchemy in the Eastern Wilderness, their produced elixirs are always the most expensive, generally beyond what ordinary loose cultivators can afford.


    So in reality, Back to Sky Valley¡¯s reputation in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation circle is somewhat negative.


    But Yan Shaoyin managed one aspect very well, which is the quality of the elixirs produced by Back to Sky Valley. Indeed, they are the best of their kind in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    On the label of ¡°quality elixirs,¡± Back to Sky Valley stands firm.


    This is also the foundation for their status as a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Along the way, Chen Mobai and Ye Bopei lightly discussed various aspects of alchemy knowledge, with the latter being amazed at Chen Mobai¡¯s extensive understanding. In fact, for some issues, even with his knowledge as a Rank-3 Alchemist, he had to contemplate for quite a while to understand.


    As for answering them, that was even more impossible.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen is learned and talented, while I am shallow in learning and understanding, truly ashamed,¡±


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm highly regard someone who is versatile. After conversing with Chen Mobai, Ye Bopei believed that Sect Master Chen¡¯s achievements in the art of alchemy were not inferior, at the very least certainly not worse than those of a Rank-3 Alchemist like himself.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But what he didn¡¯t know was that all of Chen Mobai¡¯s knowledge about alchemy came from high school and from soaking up information during his time with good friends Wang Xingyu and Qing Nu.


    And this knowledge constitutes the basics of alchemy in the Immortal Gate, as well as the foundation of the entire Immortal Gate¡¯s system of spiritual medicine and spiritual water.


    Although Chen Mobai was not an alchemist, his understanding of the alchemy system was definitely above that of Ye Bopei, and even Yan Shaoyin.


    Because the training of alchemists in the Tianhe Realm is through trial and error with batches of elixirs, growing through practical experience.


    Their understanding of alchemy is limited to the specific alchemy recipes they specialize in.

 Chapter 1017 - Chapter 1017 Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice_2

    Chapter 1017: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice_2 Chapter 1017: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice_2 If he switched to another alchemy recipe and started afresh, most would fail several times before succeeding after gaining some experience.


    Unlike the Immortal Gate, they have turned all alchemy techniques into a set of universal fundamentals. The preparation of each medicine involves rearranging and combining these basic techniques, along with various special devices and magic artifacts developed for alchemy, as well as spiritual extracts for quenching alchemy toxins, minimizing the chance of accidents leading to failed alchemy.


    Therefore, alchemists from the Immortal Gate are almost guaranteed success whenever they proceed with alchemy.


    ¡°If Back to Sky Valley only has this level of capability, I¡¯m afraid Yan Shaoyin is not qualified to refine the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine,¡±


    Chen Mobai thought to himself after speaking with Ye Bopei.


    As the number one Alchemy Major Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, apart from Yan Shaoyin, a Fourth-Order Alchemist, Ye Bopei was also one of the top Rank-3 Alchemists. He often presided over the refinement of Foundation Building Pills, even more so than Zeng Woyou of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, Chen Mobai was greatly disappointed after probing the extent of Ye Bopei¡¯s alchemy level through their conversation.


    This Rank-3 alchemist of the Eastern Wilderness, in terms of foundational alchemy knowledge, might not even compare to a Rank-2 alchemist from the Immortal Gate.


    This was understandable, after all, to become a Rank-3 in the Immortal Gate, one must master the principles of most Rank-3 medicines, while on this side, knowing how to refine just one sufficed.


    Take Chen Mobai, for instance, he hasn¡¯t passed the Immortal Gate¡¯s Rank-3 Talisman Master examination because he doesn¡¯t know many of the Rank-3 talismans.


    Of course, people from the Immortal Gate believed that it was simply because Chen Mobai did not have the time to take the exam.


    After all, with his Qualification of Deification, becoming a Rank-3 Talisman Maker would be a breeze.


    But Yan Shaoyin was already the best alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness and even considered one of the finest among Rank-4 alchemists in East Barbarians and Dongwu.


    If even he couldn¡¯t refine the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, then Chen Mobai would probably have to figure something out on the side of the Immortal Gate.


    He couldn¡¯t just lure Qing Nu over, could he?


    Suddenly, this thought crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    Although Qing Nu was only at Foundation Establishment for now, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, achieving Core Formation was only a matter of time, and she had no more attachments in the Immortal Gate¡­


    As he pondered, Chen Mobai shook his head, feeling that the idea was a bit fanciful.


    It was simply an impossibility.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, we have arrived!¡±


    At this point, they had reached the central region of Flower Country. Ye Bopei led them outside.


    As they stepped out of the teleportation array, a fresh rice fragrance hit them.


    Looking around, they saw full rice ears the size of little thumbs with faint dragon patterns swirling on the rice husks.


    This must be the Rank-3 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice!


    A natural fondness for farming made Chen Mobai walk over to the rice field and crouch down to have a look.


    Under the observation of his Void Spirit Eye, free-floating spiritual energy and water vapor turned into wisps of spiritual mist, which were absorbed by the spirit rice through the dragon patterns on the husks. Each flash of the patterns signified a breath taken by the spirit plant.


    ¡°May I touch it?¡±


    Chen Mobai turned to ask Ye Bopei and another cultivator from Back to Sky Valley following him. Both were clearly surprised that a Golden Core Cultivator like him was asking for their permission; their expressions were filled with astonishment.


    Even if he were to directly reach out and pluck one, they wouldn¡¯t dare utter a single word of protest.


    ¡°Please feel free, Sect Master Chen,¡±


    After getting permission, Chen Mobai nodded.


    As the top graduate in Agricultural Studies from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai held a deep respect for any spirit plant.


    Because, quite possibly, a single weed in the test field could be the final project of a junior or sister.


    ¡°If you carelessly step on him, he could stare at you with eyes filled with resentment until graduation.¡±


    Although this is the Tianhe Realm, the habits Chen Mobai cultivated in the Daoist Academy¡¯s Agricultural Studies program have not changed; he even took out a pair of thin white gloves from his storage bag and put them on.


    After touching the stalk of the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice with his hand, he used a spell from the Immortal Gate that resonates with spirit plants to sense the growth state of this spirit plant.


    Although it was not as powerful as Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, with the boost from Chen Mobai¡¯s Golden Core Stage realm, he still perceived some information.


    The earth¡¯s energy absorbed by the stalk of this Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice seemed to be different from ordinary earth energy, filled with another kind of dense energy. The combination of the two, along with the dragon pattern on the husk absorbing the spiritual fog, condensed into the purest elemental energy, nurturing each grain of spirit rice, allowing it to thrive.


    ¡°Is this unique earth energy from Flower Country, or did the Star Heaven Dao Sect set up a formation to cultivate it?¡±


    Chen Mobai personally leaned towards the first conjecture, especially since after the opening of the Eastern Wilderness, the Star Heaven Dao Sect specifically requested this territory from Flower Country.


    It must be that there was something special about this place that is very suitable for the growth of the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    But to know the actual facts, he still needed to ask someone with expertise.


    Chen Mobai sensed two Golden Core auras approaching from not far away and stood up.


    ¡°It was supposed to be Sect Master Chen who came to visit, and it¡¯s quite embarrassing to have you come to Flower Country instead.¡±


    The speaker was an old man with gray-white hair and a gaunt face, whom Chen Mobai had not met before, but he knew who it was.


    By his side was another elderly man with a ruddy complexion and a tall figure, wearing the characteristic silver-gray Starlight Dao Robe, obviously Yu Shuji from the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Not at all, preventing the locust plague is everyone¡¯s responsibility in the Eastern Wilderness. Master Yan and Master Yu have worked hard. If there¡¯s anything I can assist with, feel free to ask.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai said these words, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became lively.


    After all, the Divine Wood Sect was now the number one power in the Eastern Wilderness. Their fearsome reputation was widely known even outside the Eastern Wilderness after two expeditions to Mountain Shaker Peak, slaying the Golden Core Cultivators of the Nanxuan Sect, and cutting down Southern Masters on Liu Jia Mountain.


    Although the Star Heaven Dao Sect was not afraid, as businessmen, they always believed that harmony brings wealth. If there truly was a conflict with Divine Wood Sect because of Back to Sky Valley, Yu Shuji, the vice-president in charge of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, would certainly not be able to escape responsibility.


    So now that Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude was amiable, it was the people from Star Heaven Dao Sect who were the happiest.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen is a young genius, I had heard from my disciples back in East Yu that you are a dragon among men, and seeing you today, it really is true,¡± Yu Shuji took the initiative to respond, and Chen Mobai immediately started a conversation with him.


    After inquiring, Chen Mobai learned that Lou Xuelong and Qu XiuXian, whom he had interacted with during a previous sale event, were disciples of Yu Shuji.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite a coincidence, are the two esteemed nephews here?¡±


    ¡°Xuelong failed his Core Formation and is still recovering from his injuries at the sect; XiuXian came with me and is currently instructing the people in Back to Sky Valley to investigate and capture the Earth Spirit Locusts, striving not to miss a single one.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Yu Shuji got along well, while Yan Shaoyin on the side felt somewhat out of sorts.


    The most beneficial outcome for Back to Sky Valley would naturally be for the Divine Wood Sect and the Star Heaven Dao Sect to come into conflict.


    In this way, to ensure the supply of spirit rice and medicinal herbs in Eastern Wilderness¡¯s Flower Country, the Star Heaven Dao Sect would inevitably support Back to Sky Valley more vigorously. Perhaps he could take advantage of this to obtain something related to ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡± Even if not elixirs, an Infant Formation Experience would suffice.


    However, this Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, despite his young age, was more adept in handling people than he, an old man, was.


    He didn¡¯t at all seem like the world-class swordsmanship talent who achieved young success!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Aren¡¯t sword cultivators supposed to be straightforward and inflexible?


    After watching Chen Mobai and Yu Shuji¡¯s conversation grow more animated, Yan Shaoyin could only insert himself to prevent his biggest support from being swayed by the Divine Wood Sect.


    But after conversing for a while, Yan Shaoyin was shocked to find that his own knowledge about spirit plants could hardly keep up with the two men¡¯s thinking.


    Yu Shuji was a renowned Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Master; it was understandable that Yan Shaoyin was not his equal.


    But how could this Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, known for his swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wilderness, also have such profound expertise in spirit plants?

 Chapter 1018 - Chapter 1018 Chapter 558 Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket

    Chapter 1018: Chapter 558: Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket Additional Release 6) Chapter 1018: Chapter 558: Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket Additional Release 6) Could it be that his talent in spirit plants is no less than his prowess in Sword Dao!


    Yan Shaoyin thought this to himself as he looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s excessively young face, feeling increasingly unsettled.


    As a Rank-4 Alchemist, in order to understand the properties of various medicinal materials, he was also a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.


    He believed that there were only a few in the Eastern Wilderness who could match him in the field of spirit plants.


    Yet, who would have thought that the newly advanced Core Formation Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai, would actually surpass him.


    ¡°This Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, besides needing the Qi of Earth Vein, also requires the absorption of the Qi of Dragon Vein in order to be sown, survive, and grow robustly¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai and Yu Shuji hit it off right away, asking about the doubts he had just sensed concerning the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, and the latter readily answered them.


    Because the seeds of this Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice were only available to their Star Heaven Dao Sect, there was no harm in telling Chen Mobai about these matters.


    Back to Sky Valley possessed the complete set of techniques for sowing, fertilizing, cultivating, and harvesting Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, but they still needed to submit seventy percent of the harvest to the Star Heaven Dao Sect every year. This was not only because they relied on the latter for support but for this very reason as well.


    The seeds were in the hands of the Star Heaven Dao Sect; if they didn¡¯t provide them, the tens of thousands of acres of Rank-3 Spirit Fields in Flower Country would simply go to waste.


    On the side of Tianhe Realm, the technology in the field of spirit plants merely required more research to easily replicate.


    Therefore, the seeds are the most precious.


    It was precisely because of this, when Zhou Shengqing initially acquired the breeding and cultivation methods of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, he was greatly praised by Ancestor Hunyuan who even specially dispatched the elites of the Spirit Plant Department from the Five Elements Sect to open a sixty-acre Rank-3 Spirit Field in Xiao Nanshan for research.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai developed a new variety of Rank-2 Green Jade Spirit Rice, Fu Zongjue was so delighted that he awarded him a million Spirit Stones.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, the seeds of Spirit Rice are so valuable.


    If it¡¯s a complete cultivation technique for Spirit Rice containing the seeds, it could serve as the Supreme Treasure of a sect.


    The three major factions in Dongyi with Nascent Souls in command, only Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Sun Bathing Sea have seeds of Rank-3 Spirit Rice, namely the Golden Cloud Rice and Fire Crystal Rice, which shows their value.


    Moreover, if their seeds are discovered outside their sect, these major factions would not hesitate to wage war. Previously, another major faction of Dongyi, Kong Sang Valley, resorted to trickery to obtain the Golden Cloud Rice Seeds of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, hoping to combine it with the methods of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to cultivate a new type of Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    Although they acquired the seeds, the next day, the Golden Wind Ancestor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace led twelve Golden Cores and thousands of cultivators to attack Kong Sang Valley.


    This war was also considered the largest in Dongyi in the past two hundred years, with countless deaths and injuries on both sides.


    Nearly seven or eight Golden Core Cultivators perished, almost involving half of the Cultivation World of Dongyi.


    Later on, it was Baiwu Ancestor of Sun Bathing Sea who couldn¡¯t stand by any longer as many of his sect¡¯s disciples were also involved and suffered casualties, so he stepped forward to mediate.


    But by then Golden Wind Ancestor and Elder Muqin were already seeing red and completely disregarded his intervention, determined to fight to the death.


    Feeling his dignity had been slighted, Baiwu Ancestor also got angry and directly called upon his good friend Ancestor Hunyuan, Sun Huangwu of Dongwu, and also an Nascent Soul Elder from Star Heaven Dao Sect since their business was also affected by the war between the two factions.


    Under the suppression of the Four Great Nascent Soul Cultivators, the Nascent Souls of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Kong Sang Valley finally calmed down.


    Since Kong Sang Valley was in the wrong, after negotiations, under pressure, Nascent Soul of Kong Sang Valley returned all the Golden Cloud Rice Seeds and even expelled their own Sect Leader to settle the matter.


    However, the impact of the great war between the two factions was far-reaching.


    Both Golden Wind and Elder Muqin, the two Nascent Soul Cultivators, had used secret life-risking techniques during this battle, and subsequently suffered severe damage to their vital energy and shortened their lifespans.


    However, because Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan, Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s condition was somewhat better, allowing him to appear from time to time and even lend a hand.


    As for Elder Muqin of Kong Sang Valley, there had been almost no news of her for nearly a hundred years, and many people even speculated that she had passed away in meditation.


    This event made the cultivators of East Wasteland and East Wu across three territories aware of the preciousness of Spirit Rice seeds.


    Chen Mobai, however, did not value Spirit Rice much as due to the differing geographical climates within Immortal Gates, there were dozens of types of Rank-3 Spirit Rice, and even Rank-5 Immortal Rice specially for Divinity Transformation Ancestors.


    In the eyes of the sects in Tianhe Realm, what they saw as extremely precious Spirit Rice seeds were viewed by him as mere roadside stones.


    What Chen Mobai was actually interested in was the information revealed in Yu Shuji¡¯s words.


    ¡°Qi of Dragon Vein¡­ There¡¯s actually a dragon pulse flowing beneath this land of Flower Country!¡±


    The so-called Dragon Pulse requires the nurturing of a long-standing civilization before it can potentially integrate with the earth¡¯s Qi and form.


    Although the resources on Di Yuan Star, where Immortal Gates are located, are scarce and the spiritual energy thin, Dragon Pulses are almost ubiquitous in all blessed lands because of a splendid and radiant civilization.

    But the Dragon Pulses of Immortal Gates are protected resources, which can only be used after the approval of relevant departments.


    Chen Mobai knew that Jumang Academy possessed an alchemy recipe known as Earth Veins Elixir, which required the extraction of Qi of Earth Vein and Qi of Dragon Vein to refine. Once ingested, it could be used to improve the numerical value of the earth spiritual root.


    At this thought, his gaze flickered as it fell upon the ground beneath his feet.


    The Qi of Dragon Vein requires the cultivation of worldly dynasties and civilizations, often taking over a thousand years to show effects.


    The major sects of Tianhe Realm also discovered the wonderful uses of Dragon Vein Qi, and they generally protect the mortals under their influence, even supporting them in establishing kingdoms.

 Chapter 1019 - Chapter 1019 Chapter 558 Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket

    Chapter 1019: Chapter 558 Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket Extra 6)_2 Chapter 1019: Chapter 558 Qi of Dragon Vein (Monthly Ticket Extra 6)_2 Of course, power was definitely held in the hands of cultivators.


    Only here in The Barren, after the successive demise of the supreme leaders of Wangu Gate and Five Elements Sect, both led by Nascent Soul cultivators passing away in meditation, their empires immediately crumbled to pieces, and the dynasties they sustained scattered like stars across the sky, leaving the dragon pulse no longer obvious.


    As for the dragon pulse beneath Flower Country, who knows how Star Heaven Dao Sect discovered it?


    Isn¡¯t it a bit of a waste to use the dragon pulse for farming?


    And if all the qi from this dragon pulse were extracted, I wonder how many Earth Veins Elixirs could be refined?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind began to race with thoughts of whether he could take advantage of this resource to enhance his Earth Spirit Root, given that the orthodox cultivation method of Primordial Dao Fruit indeed requires the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.


    The reason he hadn¡¯t achieved enlightenment at Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff was likely due to the issue with his spiritual root.


    If he could transform his Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root into a Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root, and then drink a pot of Enlightenment Tea, he would certainly be able to fully comprehend the Primordial Dao Fruit!


    It¡¯s just a pity that such a task is not easy to accomplish.


    After all, Divine Wood Sect might be able to find a way to eliminate Back to Sky Valley, but Flower Country is clearly the property of Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    If we drain the crucial qi of the dragon pulse used for Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, then even across the great distance from the Eastern Barbarians, Star Heaven Dao Sect might declare war.


    This is a super sect that commands absolute respect in the Dong Yue Region, with several Nascent Soul cultivators as its cornerstones.


    If they were to get angry, they have the power to turn the entire Eastern Wilderness into ruins.


    My power is still insufficient!


    As Chen Mobai pondered, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to engage in the increasingly harmonious conversation with Yu Shuji about Spirit Plants.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t we discuss this year¡¯s distribution of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice?¡±


    At this time, Yan Shaoyin, who had been sitting on the sidelines, couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and interrupted the two, whose conversation was getting along better by the minute.


    Top-ranked cultivators from major sects knew that consuming Spiritual Rice all year round could refine the physical body and increase the chances of successfully breaking through to the next cultivation realm.


    For Nascent Soul Cultivators at the pinnacle of The Barren, the desire for Rank-3 Spiritual Rice was exceedingly great.


    The Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice produced annually by Back to Sky Valley was always in short supply.


    A Nascent Soul Cultivator who wanted to maintain their physical condition had to consume at least ten catties of Spiritual Rice every day, meaning The Barren¡¯s publicly known nine Nascent Soul Cultivators required over thirty thousand catties a year.


    However, the annual yield Back to Sky Valley received was only around fifteen thousand catties, with Yan Shaoyin certainly retaining a portion for his own intake and also reserving some for his sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners with hopes of Core Formation. Thus, only ten thousand catties were left for sale.


    In previous years, this ten thousand catties was evenly split, with Five Elements Sect and Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff each getting four thousand catties, and the remaining two thousand catties divided amongst Ji Zhenshi, a teacher from the south, and Kong Lingling.


    Now, with two less entities, Kong Lingling naturally didn¡¯t dare claim the entire two thousand catties for herself. Yan Shaoyin had already informed both Divine Wood Sect and Five Elements Sect that going forward, once the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice ripened, Five Elements Sect would get four thousand catties and Divine Wood Sect would take five thousand catties.


    The extra one thousand catties allocated to Divine Wood Sect was meant for Chen Mobai, the newly advanced Golden Core Cultivator!


    Neither of the parties had given a response to this arrangement.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s visit to Back to Sky Valley was partly to deal with this matter.


    However, he didn¡¯t need Rank-3 Spiritual Rice, because his basic privileges as a councilor in Kaiyuan Hall included an annual supply of sufficient Spiritual Rice.


    If he wished, Chen Mobai could enjoy different Rank-3 Spiritual Rice every day of the month, and occasionally he could even snag some precious Rank-4 Immortal Spirit Rice through the Immortal Gate Network.


    Furthermore, given enough time, with Zhuo Ming by his side, he was sure to develop seeds for Rank-3 Spiritual Rice that could grow in the environment of Giant Tree Ridge.


    But for the time being, he still needed to purchase Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice for consumption by Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang.


    Zhou Shengqing, who no longer had a physical body, didn¡¯t need to consider this.


    The five thousand catties of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice seemed insufficient to Chen Mobai.


    To fully satisfy a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s needs, each cultivator required at least four thousand catties per year, which meant he needed to purchase at least eight thousand catties.


    ¡°Master Yan can keep the five thousand catties for his own use, and just sell the remaining ten thousand catties to Divine Wood Sect,¡±


    Chen Mobai generously offered to take over this year¡¯s entire batch of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen is joking, due to the discovery of Earth Spirit Locusts, this year¡¯s harvest might only be 80 percent of the previous years. I estimate we¡¯ll only be able to sell about eight thousand catties,¡±


    Yan Shaoyin hadn¡¯t noticed the signs of locusts when he informed the Divine Wood Sect and Five Elements Sect, so he misestimated this year¡¯s yield.


    As the deputy chairman of Starry Sky Commerce Guild in charge of the Eastern Wilderness region, Yu Shuji also heard that the yield might decrease and hurriedly traveled from Dong Yue by riding a large-scale teleportation array to the East Barbarians, and then made his way here.


    ¡°This is a natural disaster, so one can¡¯t blame Master Yan. We¡¯ll take a little less then, eight thousand catties it is.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai left Yan Shaoyin speechless, but he had no choice but to reject the offer verbally.


    ¡°The three Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Five Elements Sect still need to be taken care of. How about we give them three thousand catties, and the Divine Wood Sect takes four thousand catties?¡±


    ¡°Eh, what about the remaining one thousand catties then?¡±


    ¡°Keep five hundred catties for True Person Kong, and the rest will stay in Back to Sky Valley for my personal use.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin, having deliberated for a long while and discussed with Yu Shuji, believed they had struck a fair balance.


    After finishing these words, Chen Mobai fell into a deep pondering as if contemplating.


    His silence immediately caused Yan Shaoyin to grow nervous. The latter couldn¡¯t help but look over to Yu Shuji, hoping he would speak up and exert some pressure, to finalize this year¡¯s arrangement for the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    Once this year¡¯s agreement was set, it would likely set the standard for the next several decades, and since Yu Shuji was present, it would be like Star Heaven Dao Sect had fixed the arrangement, which both the Five Elements Sect and Divine Wood Sect would definitely need to adhere to.


    But Yu Shuji was also hesitating. It wasn¡¯t because he just had a pleasant talk with Chen Mobai, but because the notorious reputation of the Divine Wood Sect was too severe, and with Zhou Shengqing possibly achieving Nascent Soul Formation, even Star Heaven Dao Sect wouldn¡¯t dare to oppress them too much.


    At his level of cultivation and status, every stance he took must be calculated and cautious.


    Within the Tianhe Realm, there were too many Cultivators who, after thousands of years of hard work and finally attaining the Dao, would go on to utterly exterminate the sects that had caused grievances in their hearts.


    However, he definitely intended to help Back to Sky Valley, for over the years, they had saved Star Heaven Dao Sect a lot of trouble in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Finding a suitable partner was not easy.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, are you satisfied with this quantity? If you find it lacking for this year, I can sell you another one thousand catties of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice in the name of the Commerce Association. As long as there¡¯s no locust disaster in the future, we will do our best to guarantee five thousand catties for your side in Back to Sky Valley, how about it?¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai still hadn¡¯t spoken, Yu Shuji said with a smile, expressing his sincerity.


    As the deputy chairman of Starry Sky Commerce Guild, he could control the sale of ten thousand catties of Spiritual Rice. But even so, providing a thousand catties was not an easy feat.


    After all, the most affected by the locust plague was their seventy percent of the Spiritual Rice.


    ¡°Since Master Yu says so, then let¡¯s set the shares according to this arrangement.¡±


    Chen Mobai was waiting for Yu Shuji to speak up. In the Eastern Wilderness, he no longer feared anyone, but Star Heaven Dao Sect was a major power, and it was necessary to show them some respect.


    Moreover, in previous years, the Divine Wood Sect would buy other Rank-3 Spiritual Rice from the Commerce Association or within the East Barbarians for the Nascent Soul Ancestors to consume. Being able to secure five thousand catties for the valley was quite good indeed.


    ¡°Very good, very good. Despite your young age, Sect Master Chen, you understand the situation clearly!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yu Shuji was also very satisfied, feeling that his words carried weight.


    ¡°By the way, I¡¯ve heard that there are many Green Wood Sha within Back to Sky Valley. I have just completed the cultivation of the Great Achievement of Red Flame Sword Art, and need them to condense Sword Sha. Could I purchase some from you?¡±


    After settling the matter of the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, Chen Mobai spoke of his own needs.


    ¡°Oh, how much does Sect Master Chen need?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Shaoyin did not quite grasp the significance of the phrase ¡°Great Achievement of Red Flame Sword Art¡± and asked casually.


    ¡°The more the better, ideally eighty-one strands!¡±


    ¡°Where would you find so many? Green Wood Sha is an excellent Spirit Material for fostering the temperature of flames. I need to use one for refining high-order elixirs, and currently, we have cultivated around twenty strands within the Earthly Fiend Yin Hole. If you need them, Sect Master Chen, I could give you one or two strands,¡±


    Yan Shaoyin shook his head, indicating that Green Wood Sha was also very useful to him.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, could it be that you have cultivated Golden Flame!?¡±


    But at that moment, Yu Shuji¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he asked in shock!

 Chapter 1020 - Chapter 1020 Chapter 559 Immortal Tea

    Chapter 1020: Chapter 559 Immortal Tea Chapter 1020: Chapter 559 Immortal Tea Yan Shaoyin was initially stunned when he heard what Yu Shuji had to say, but he eventually realized the true meaning behind Chen Mobai¡¯s words just now.


    Great Achievement of Red Flame Sword Art!


    Eighty-one Green Wood Evils!


    This was none other than having mastered the Flame Sun Slash and preparing to gather enough Golden Flame to cultivate the Extreme Sun Slash!


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Yan Shaoyin was unwilling to accept this idea in his heart. In the past, Ancestor Hunyuan had dominated the Eastern Wilderness with the Extreme Sun Slash, and their Back to Sky Valley¡¯s Large Formation had trembled and quaked under this move. Had it not been for Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s intervention, he might have been burnt to ashes by the Golden Flame.


    He is so young and has already cultivated the Golden Flame?


    But the more one fears something, the more likely it is to come true.


    Chen Mobai cracked a slight smile, extending his right hand, which had been held behind his back, with fingers splayed upward.


    Two golden orbs of flame flew out, spiraling continuously in the palm of his hand like a Tai Chi symbol.


    Seeing this scene, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief!


    Even Yu Shuji of the Star Heaven Dao Sect showed a shocked expression, reassessing Chen Mobai¡¯s worth in his mind once more.


    This person¡¯s talent would be considered at a Taoist Child level even within their Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    It was just a pity that they hadn¡¯t discovered this uncut jade in the Eastern Wilderness sooner.


    Yu Shuji felt a sense of regret. Crossing the threshold of Core Formation could still be forced with the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s resources and talent, but when it came to ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± without the secret experiences passed down by their great sects, one would likely face a nine-in-ten chance of death, regardless of plentiful resources or high talent.


    At the threshold of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± any mistake could mean perishing both physically and in one¡¯s path.


    Merely relying on the two pieces of Infant Formation Experience from the Divine Wood Sect could never fully elucidate this threshold. This wasn¡¯t something that could be achieved by talent alone; it required heritage and accumulation.


    In their Star Heaven Dao Sect, those who could cultivate to Perfect Core Formation were all at a Taoist Child level, the cream of the crop. Yet even with divine objects like the Three Lights Divine Water, the success rate of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was still less than 30%.


    What a pity for this genius with unparalleled talent in both Sword Dao and Talent for Spiritual Plants!


    Although this was what Yu Shuji thought, he also planned to foster better relations with the Divine Wood Sect in the future, and have his Commerce Association hold several more events in Jian Country.


    After all, with Chen Mobai¡¯s recent Core Formation and the talent and ability to fight with magic he had shown, Divine Wood Sect would be the number one sect in the Eastern Wilderness for the next few hundred years.


    Starry Sky Commerce Guild, operating within the Eastern Land Domain, had always been adept at establishing good relationships with local powers.


    ¡°There are many Green Wood Evils in Kong Sang Valley, and I have a decent relationship with them. If Sect Master Chen wishes, I am willing to mediate for you.¡±


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s demonstration of the Golden Flame, while Yan Shaoyin was still silent, Yu Shuji had already opened his mouth with a smile, offering to help him out.


    ¡°If this can be accomplished, consider it a favor I owe Master Yu,¡± said Chen Mobai upon hearing this, delighted.


    Though the influence of the Divine Wood Sect could already reach most of the Eastern Wilderness, it would certainly not be possible to collect the required quantity for the Extreme Sun Slash in a short amount of time, as there was only so much Green Wood Evil.


    Starry Sky Commerce Guild, with its operation throughout the entire Six Domains of the Eastern Earth and its rich network, was the best informed about where to find which resources. If Yu Shuji was willing to help, it would at least save Chen Mobai a considerable amount of time and effort.


    ¡°No problem at all. I remember the Commerce Association also has a few Green Wood Evils in stock. I¡¯ll have Xiu Xian take my letter to retrieve the goods from the Dongyi Warehouse, then go to Kong Sang Valley on behalf of Sect Master Chen to make the purchase, getting about thirty should be no issue. I will also instruct the Association to keep an eye out for Green Wood Evils and do their utmost to help Sect Master Chen acquire them,¡± Yu Shuji said.


    Upon hearing Yu Shuji¡¯s words, Chen Mobai expressed his thanks again.


    In fact, he only needed fifty-seven Green Wood Evils.


    With the thirty from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and some effort scavenging in the Eastern Wilderness or waiting for his own sect¡¯s output, he figured that he should be able to master the Extreme Sun Slash before reaching the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.


    ¡°Actually, I haven¡¯t planned on refining top-ranked elixirs recently, and leaving those Green Wood Evils to nurture in the Earthly Fiend Yin Hole would be a waste. If Sect Master Chen needs them, you can also take ten from me.¡±


    It was at this time that Yan Shaoyin suddenly spoke up. In reality, he would have preferred to delay Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of the Extreme Sun Slash.


    But Yu Shuji¡¯s actions had let him know that his ten Green Wood Evils were inconsequential to the grand scheme.


    Moreover, upon further reflection, Chen Mobai, with his Sword Dao Realm and Fourth Order Sword Artifact, probably wouldn¡¯t need the Extreme Sun Slash to deal with him.


    Although Yan Shaoyin was also at Core Formation Late Stage, he was very clear about his own ability in magical duels; he had spent the majority of his effort on enhancing his Alchemy, with the rest devoted entirely to defensive escaping techniques.


    If he truly were to face Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius capable of using a sword to force back Nanxuan Jing and deter Xuan Shu, his prospects would be grim.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Since that was the case, he wanted to make amends for his earlier words, and also hoped to owe a favor that might come in handy should he need to ask Divine Wood Sect for help in the future.


    ¡°Thank you, Master Yan.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse, and after showing his Golden Flame, the atmosphere among the three became even more harmonious than before, with conversations and laughter ensuing.


    Yan Shaoyin brought out a treasured Rank-3 Spiritual Tea of his own collection, comparable to the Snow Needle Immortal Bud of the Snow Peak Bai Family in the Eastern Wilderness, called Green Dance. After drinking it, one felt a clear heart and mind, and refreshed meridians and energy.


    ¡°This tea was discovered by my master on Little Leaf Mountain at the tail end of the Dragon Pulse in Flower Country. It has grown naturally for millions of years by absorbing the Qi of Dragon Vein. Consuming it daily can regulate qi and blood. Especially, it can neutralize elixir toxicity. With long-term consumption, it can practically eliminate most of the side effects of elixir toxicity.¡±

 Chapter 1021 - Chapter 1021 Chapter 559 Immortal Tea_2

    Chapter 1021: Chapter 559 Immortal Tea_2 Chapter 1021: Chapter 559 Immortal Tea_2 ¡°`


    Cultivators from the major sects in the Tianhe Realm generally knew that excessive consumption of elixirs could lead to the accumulation of poison within the body and spiritual power, posing a significant hidden danger when attempting to break through realms.


    Back to Sky Valley, a major sect in alchemy, concocted and consumed the most elixirs and naturally conducted the most research in this area.


    The Green Charm Spiritual Tea is the method developed by Back to Sky Valley to detoxify from the elixir poison.


    However, this tea tree can only survive and grow above the Qi of Dragon Vein, and most lands with Dragon Vein in Flower Country have been cultivated into Rank-3 Spirit Fields to plant Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    Therefore, for thousands of years, with the Green Charm mother tree as their origin, Back to Sky Valley has only managed to cultivate a few dozen offspring trees, and the output of Spiritual Tea barely meets the needs of their own sect members.


    ¡°Spiritual Tea Green Charm, I¡¯ve long heard of its exceptional nature,¡± he couldn¡¯t help but remark admiringly after drinking the tea, which was initially slightly bitter but then turned into a sweet essence that surged upward after swallowing, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.


    ¡°Oh, my Spiritual Tea is just average. The White Dew Sparrow Tongue from Sun Bathing Sea is the true delicacy. I had it once and will never forget the experience. It completely cleansed my body, cleared all the gloom in my heart, and I was able to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage because of it,¡± Yan Shaoyin spoke of the best Spiritual Tea he had ever tasted. The White Dew Sparrow Tongue, known as the finest Spiritual Tea of the East Barbarians, comes from a Fourth-Order Spirit Plant, and is the treasured asset of Sun Bathing Sea.


    ¡°If I have the chance, I¡¯ll definitely have to try a cup,¡± Chen Mobai said, his heart stirred after hearing this. He was currently cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, and had no issues with the growth of his spiritual power, but he worried about being hindered by bottlenecks.


    If the White Dew Sparrow Tongue was indeed beneficial for realm breakthroughs, it would be a perfect match for him.


    ¡°Master Yu must have tried it as well, though the Sky Star Silver Shuttle of your sect is also a Fourth-Grade Spirit Tea, and even surpasses the White Dew Sparrow Tongue, so you surely don¡¯t share the same sentiments as I do,¡± Yan Shaoyin shifted the topic to Yu Shuji, who responded with a modest smile.


    The Sky Star Silver Shuttle of Star Heaven Dao Sect was an extremely sought-after Spirit Tea even in the Eastern Earth Region, which when consumed could clear the mind as if one were amidst the stars, unconsciously expanding the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion without any side effects.


    ¡°The Eastern Wasteland is still too limited. Green Charm and Snow Needle Immortal Bud might be top-tier treasures in our eyes, but placed in the Eastern Earth Region, any Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s daily brew might be of such a grade,¡± Yan Shaoyin sighed as he spoke. When he initially reached Core Formation, he had the chance to visit the Eastern Lands with the people from Starry Sky Commerce Guild and it truly opened his eyes.


    Majestic Immortal Cities, sacred mountains soaring above the sky, all kinds of incredible Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Talismans¨Cit was like having the Immortal Realm from the heavens descend to the mortal world, deeply impressive and unattainable.


    ¡°Brother Yan, do not undervalue yourself. Even in the Eastern Lands, Green Charm is a noteworthy Spirit Tea. Merely the fact that it can neutralize the poison from elixirs is enough to cause a frenzy,¡± Yu Shuji interjected, his own Star Heaven Dao Sect being the dominant force in the Dong Yue Region, second only to the Holy Land Major Sects in the Eastern Earth Domain.


    He had spent decades with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild in the Eastern Earth Domain during his youth and, after gaining a deep understanding, didn¡¯t share the same awe for the region as Yan Shaoyin, who had only visited once.


    ¡°White Dew Sparrow Tongue is good, and Sky Star Silver Shuttle is superior, but the top Spirit Tea I¡¯ve drunk in my life is one called ¡®Longevity Eyebrow,''¡± Yu Shuji¡¯s words aroused intense curiosity in Chen Mobai and Yan Shaoyin, who eagerly inquired about the mystery of this Longevity Eyebrow tea.


    ¡°This tea is grown at the entrance of Dao Morale Sect!¡± As soon as Yu Shuji mentioned this, both Chen Mobai and Yan Shaoyin widened their eyes, a look of realization dawning on them.


    Dao Morale Sect, one of the Holy Lands in the Eastern Earth Region!


    The Ascended Monk and former True Lord Yuan hailed from this sect, which generation after generation possesses individuals undergoing Divinity Transformation, making it one of the most deeply rooted Holy Lands in the Eastern Earth Domain.


    The Longevity Eyebrow being cultivated at the entrance of Dao Morale Sect certainly wasn¡¯t ordinary.


    ¡°Could it be a Rank-5 Immortal Tea?¡±


    Teas of Rank-5 and above could bear the moniker of ¡®Immortal¡¯, denoting that they are worthy offerings for Immortals of the Upper Realm.


    ¡°Indeed, Longevity Eyebrow is a Rank-5 Immortal Tea. Each cup consumed can extend one¡¯s lifespan by a year. True Lord Yuan was able to wait for his Ascendance opportunity due to the lifespan gained from this Immortal Tea.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Is there a limit to the lifespan increase provided by Longevity Eyebrow?¡±


    After hearing Yu Shuji¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask. Lifespan is an innate fate, and the Immortal Tree Fruit from high-ranked Immortal Gates can extend one¡¯s life by 480 years.


    ¡°The best way to drink Longevity Eyebrow is to consume it continuously for a year, which can extend lifespan by 360 years. After that, it will have no effect. However, it is precisely because of this that I had the opportunity to have a sip,¡± Yu Shuji explained. The Longevity Eyebrow Spiritual Tea is well-known in the Eastern Earth Region, and every year countless Nascent Soul Cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan come seeking it.


    Originally, a precious Spirit Plant owned by the Dao Morale Sect was gnawed on by pests, nearly causing it to wither and die. As a Rank-4 Spiritual Plant Master from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, Yu Shuji also received an invitation.


    In the end, more than a dozen of the top Spiritual Plant Masters from the Six Domains in the Eastern Earth joined hands to revive the precious plant. Yu Shuji, who had assisted in the effort, received not only a reward of Spirit Stones but also a cup of Longevity Eyebrow Tea to quench his thirst.


    The taste of the tea had already been forgotten by Yu Shuji because it was actually quite ordinary, even a bit bitter, but it was nevertheless a Rank-5 Immortal Tea.


    That¡¯s why he remembered it until now and boasted about it whenever he got the chance.


    As expected, Yan Shaoyin felt envious and yearning after hearing about it.


    Both Dao Morale Sect and Longevity Eyebrow Spiritual Tea were things he would likely never touch in his lifetime.


    Seeing his expression, Yu Shuji felt very proud.


    But when his gaze shifted to Chen Mobai, he was slightly taken aback.


    For Chen Mobai wore a look of calm, as if he had just heard a tale, showing no emotional fluctuation.


    [This Sect Master Chen, his composure is indeed extraordinary!]


    Yu Shuji¡¯s regard for Chen Mobai rose once again. He knew that even the Nascent Soul Ancestors from the three major sects of the East Barbarians would show a longing face upon hearing about the Longevity Eyebrow Spiritual Tea and would wish they could immediately set out to the Eastern Earth to beg Dao Morale Sect for it.


    As a Sword Cultivator theoretically with a shorter lifespan, Chen Mobai remained so serene about Longevity Eyebrow; such self-restraint both impressed and surprised Yu Shuji.


    [No wonder he possesses such mastery over Spirit Plants.]


    But what Yu Shuji didn¡¯t know was that Chen Mobai was young with hardly any immediate sense of urgency about his lifespan.


    After achieving Core Formation, he had 560 years of lifespan, and he was only 45 years old now. This long time was enough for him to achieve Golden Core Perfection.


    If he could accomplish Nascent Soul Formation, his lifespan would increase further, and after Nascent Soul Formation, his Longevity Dao Body would surely reach great fruition. Then, he could attempt to cultivate the Art of Longevity.


    If he could master this grand spell from the Longevity Sect, he could extend one-third of the lifespans corresponding to his current realm.


    By then, if he managed well in the Immortal Gates, he might even have the chance to obtain the Immortal Tree Fruit.


    Chen Mobai might worry about slow growth in Divine Sense, stagnation in Sword Dao Realm, or inability to break through realm bottlenecks, but he had no concerns about lifespan¡­


    He even somewhat wished that time could pass more quickly, ideally in the blink of a century, sparing him the arduous time of meditation and cultivating to directly achieve Golden Core Perfection.


    Although Longevity Eyebrow was also fine, Chen Mobai would certainly not bother traveling to the Eastern Earth Region for it.

    Better to develop steadily in the Eastern Wilderness, turn it into his main camp for enlightenment, leverage the resources of the Immortal Gates and the region, and strive for Nascent Soul Formation.


    In the process, he planned to gradually devour the Snow-blowing Palace, suppress Back to Sky Valley, prepare to take over the Five Elements Sect, and finally unite the Eastern Wilderness, slowly accumulating and observing the surrounding situation. The moment the Golden Wind Ancestor showed signs of passing away in meditation, he would immediately lead an army to the East Barbarians and obliterate the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s grand scheme was already clear in his mind, and he was steadily executing it step by step.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As the three Core Formation cultivators were drinking tea and chatting, a sudden violent tremor of the earth came, and a thick and surging powerful demonic aura burst out from under the ground not far away.

 Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1022 Chapter 560 Mother Locust

    Chapter 1022: Chapter 560 Mother Locust Chapter 1022: Chapter 560 Mother Locust Three streams of Spiritual Light flickered, all of them charging out of the pavilion at the same time, racing toward the location of the demonic qi¡¯s eruption.


    Among them, a crimson streak of flames moved the fastest, leaving several afterimages in the void and quickly outpacing the other two.


    Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji, watching Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure as he used Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, couldn¡¯t help but show shocked expressions on their faces.


    They were already moving at the fastest escaping speed under normal circumstances, yet two Cultivators in the late stage of Core Formation couldn¡¯t keep up with someone who had just reached Core Formation!


    Chen Mobai quickly arrived at the site of the demonic qi¡¯s outburst, and looking down, he saw a pitch-black fissure that had cracked open in the center of the earth, with demonic qi bursting forth from it.


    A locust monster beast, half the size of a person and covered in a intermixed grayish-green hue, suddenly burst from the ground and charged towards a group of Cultivators holding Array Flags, who were trying to seal the fissure.


    In the midst of the overwhelming demonic qi, the earthy glow burgeoning from the Array Flags was as fragile as yellow paper, instantly torn apart by the formidable monster beast.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The leading female Foundation Establishment Cultivator saw this scene and her face changed dramatically, quickly pulling out a bright yellow talisman from her Storage Bag.


    But by the time she activated it, it was already too late, the tremendously powerful locust monster beast had reached her face, opening its sawtooth-like maw and fiercely biting down.


    ¡°Vile creature, how dare you harm someone in my presence!¡±


    A clear voice sounded. Before its echoes reached the ears of the people below, a blaze of brilliant golden flames had descended from the sky, appearing like a golden flaming sword, piercing through a grey haze of demonic light and cleaving the half-human-sized locust in two.


    Immediately, a scorched stench spread, along with a scream, the locust monster beast, far beyond Rank-2, was already aflame, turned into a pile of ash, scattering on both sides of the earth¡¯s fissure.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, what excellent swordsmanship!¡±


    Two rays of Escaping Light flew over, none other than Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji. They were half a step too late, but arrived just in time to witness Chen Mobai¡¯s display of divine might, the Flame Sun Slash annihilated a near-Rank-3 locust monster beast in an instant.


    One should know that these Earth Spirit Locusts, besides being ferocious, had shells that had absorbed Earth Spirit Qi year after year, and after being tempered by earthfire, were incredibly hard, with typical Rank-3 methods being unable to break their defense.


    Yet Chen Mobai¡¯s single move of Flame Sun Slash turned it to ash with ease, truly living up to his reputation as a top-tier Sword Cultivator.


    ¡°Master, there is a Rank-3 Mother Locust underground!¡±


    At that moment, the female Foundation Establishment Practitioner Chen Mobai had saved shouted out to Yu Shuji.


    ¡°The Mother Locust!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji¡¯s expressions shifted slightly.


    And at that moment, more and more fierce demonic qi surged up from the depths of the earth.


    Bits of dark red light began to shine deep within the fissure, unsettlingly eerie. Chen Mobai, with his Void Spirit Eye activated, had already seen everything clearly.


    He saw countless locusts emerge, each the size of a head, extending their claws out and clinging to the rocky walls of the underground, densely packed and innumerable.


    The dark red lights were their eyes.


    Looking deeper down with the Void Spirit Eye, in the deepest part of the fissure, at the center of these teeming locusts was an enormous, jade-colored Mother Locust, nearly the size of a human.


    The powerful demonic qi they had felt earlier was emanating from it.


    ¡°Kill it, and these locusts will become rootless,¡± said Yan Shaoyin, as he and Yu Shuji each showed their might, illuminating this fissure that had opened in the earth, and upon seeing the Mother Locust, they were filled with a murderous intent.


    Locusts can wreak havoc primarily because the Mother Locust, after absorbing sufficient nourishment, can produce offspring continuously.


    Eliminating this source would mean that even if the remaining locusts were numerous, the Cultivators could gradually exterminate them with their methods.


    This was one piece of experience gained from the struggle between Cultivators and locusts over thousands of years.


    After this declaration, Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji did not hesitate to take out their respective Magic Artifacts from their Storage Bags.


    A Banana-leaf Fan and a Sickle.


    Yan Shaoyin spat out a golden red light, his Earth-Core True Fire which he had bitterly cultivated for many years. This fire was pivotal in melting medicinal properties and synthesizing elixirs, and had already reached a grand completion of Rank-3.


    As soon as the Earth-Core True Fire was released and fanned by the Banana-leaf Fan, it roared like a fire cascade in the sky, resembling a flaming waterfall, plunging directly into the earth¡¯s fissure towards the Mother Locust.


    Faced with this dire threat, the swarm of locusts descended into a frenzy.


    Their dark red eyes flickered with an even more ferocious glint, releasing waves of demonic qi within their bodies, forming a monster barrier above the Mother Locust to shield her.


    In the midst of the sizzling noise, the Earth-Core True Fire touched the death-defying swarm of locusts and immediately detonated in a violent explosion, the intense flames burning fiercely as the air once again filled with the stench of scorching.


    Though these locusts were only Rank-1 or Rank-2, they were vast in number and fought without fear of death, endlessly flying out from the dark depths to fortify their fleshly barrier.


    As more Earth Elemental Monster Energy accumulated, the descent of Yan Shaoyin¡¯s Earth-Core True Fire was actually thwarted.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, these monsters have an Earth Attribute and can draw upon the elemental energy of flames to grow. Only attacks with a Wood Attribute are most effective against them; which I happen to wield. Please back me up!¡± Yu Shuji spoke, his voice steady as he channeled his Spiritual Power into the cold, gleaming sickle in his hand.


    Strands of grass-green light spilled out from the snow-white blade, and as Chen Mobai fixed his gaze upon it, he could sense the sharp edge and involuntarily squinted his eyes.


    Two locusts, similar in size to the one Chen Mobai had just annihilated with his Golden Flames, suddenly broke through the ongoing Earth-Core True Fire, brandishing their sharp limbs and gaping saw-like mouths. They appeared like mounds of tawny rocks hurtling towards Yu Shuji.


    Within the flickering of two pale green lights, the fresh blood of the azure demonic beast, tinged with blue, already splattered across the sky.


    Yu Shuji also easily cut down the locust monster beast.


    Chen Mobai glanced over and saw that when his two blades touched the locust¡¯s grey monster energy, it suddenly scattered apart.


    This was exactly the case of wood overcoming earth; the locust¡¯s earth elemental monster energy could only rely on the thickness and hardness of its shell to resist when facing Yu Shuji¡¯s sickle-shaped magic artifact.


    But clearly, this magic artifact was also top-notch Rank-3, slicing with an incomparably sharp glow. The two nearly Rank-3 locust monster beasts simply couldn¡¯t block it.


    ¡°Master Yu, I¡¯m going to strike with one sword, get ready!¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai was happy to play a supporting role, laughing as he grabbed a handful of golden flames in his hand.


    ¡°One sword strike?¡±


    Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji next to him hadn¡¯t reacted to what that meant, when they suddenly saw a golden radiance shooting out from Chen Mobai¡¯s palm like flowing water.


    In an instant, the Flame Sun Slash cut through the Earth-Core True Fire, then melted the thick blood-flesh barrier in front of the Mother Locust, followed by puffs of ash and the odor of scorched flesh. The momentum didn¡¯t stop there; it plunged straight towards the massive head of the locust.


    A piercingly sharp sonic boom.


    A burst of yellow-jade monster energy exploded, forming a ring that covered the Mother Locust¡¯s head, timely blocking the residual wave of the Flame Sun Slash.


    But the vast explosive power of the fire still managed to wipe out the low-ranking locusts surrounding the Mother Locust.


    The golden flames, like shockwaves, spread out in every direction after being blocked by the earth-yellow ring. Wherever they passed, soil and rock melted into magma, locusts turned to ash.


    Only the Mother Locust at the center, relying on its abundant and formidable earth elemental monster energy, withstood it.


    ¡°Clearing the field is complete, Master Yu, please make your move.¡±


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s laughter followed, Yu Shuji glanced at the only locust, the Mother, scurrying back and forth agitatedly in the scorching magma below and couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard.


    The power of the Flame Sun Slash truly was formidable!


    As this thought flashed through his mind, Yu Shuji¡¯s hand movements were not the slightest bit slow. The pale green glow on his shiny sickle had risen to the extreme. Accompanied by a downward swing, a crescent moon-like cold light slashed down, landing upon the Mother Locust¡¯s head.


    Bang!


    The yellow-jade ring held for two breaths before shattering.


    Carrying eighty percent of its might, the crescent moon cold light sliced into the neck of the Mother Locust.


    Just when everyone thought this Rank-3 monster beast was about to be killed, a fiery red stream of light ignited on its greenish-yellow shell, forming a bizarrely alluring pattern, like an ancient divine skill, bursting forth with sudden violence.


    Yu Shuji¡¯s crescent moon cold light merely opened a wound on the neck of the Mother Locust before it was scattered by the fire red patterns on its shell, dissipating into nothing.


    ¡°To think it¡¯s a Mother Locust with dual earth-fire attributes, that complicates things,¡± murmured Yan Shaoyin upon witnessing this. After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What is so formidable about these dual earth-fire attributes?¡±


    Yu Shuji: ¡°Because it has mastered the fire attribute, attacks of the wood attribute can no longer restrain it. If there was a fellow practitioner here who cultivated water attribute cultivation techniques, even better if it¡¯s the ice attribute!¡±


    Yan Shaoyin: ¡°Too bad Master Kong is not here.¡±


    With dual earth-fire attributes, in the cycle of the Five Elements, water spiritual power is what restrains it most.


    Ice spiritual power, as a sublimation of water spiritual power, is even more suitable. It was for this reason that the alliance which ventured into the Eastern Wilderness had invited practitioners from the Ice Snow Country to participate.


    ¡°Apart from Kong Lingling, there¡¯s no other way?¡± Chen Mobai asked once more.


    ¡°This Mother Locust appears to be a mutant; its monster energy is as abundant as mine. If it uses the advantage of terrain to defend, the three of us might need to exhaust its monster energy over forty-nine days,¡± explained Yu Shuji.


    ¡°We should first set up a formation to suppress it and then have both Daoist brothers stay here to watch over it, while I go request Master Kong to come and lend a hand,¡± Yan Shaoyin proposed his method.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just come from Snow Country and I had an exchange with Master Kong. She¡¯s at a critical juncture in her cultivation technique practice and cannot move, Master Yan, even if you go, she¡¯ll be powerless to help,¡± shook his head Chen Mobai, speaking a sentence that made Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji look at each other in dismay.


    ¡°How about we go to Wind Rain Hamlet and ask True Person Nu Jiang for help? I believe he would grant this favor if it¡¯s to eliminate the Mother Locust,¡± Yan Shaoyin proposed another method.


    ¡°The responsibility of Wind Rain Hamlet to suppress the Cloud Dream Marsh is even greater!¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head once again.


    Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji felt that he was right and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°It seems we¡¯ll just have to tough it out and sit here for forty-nine days.¡±

    Just as Yan Shaoyin sat cross-legged, ready for a protracted struggle, Chen Mobai stepped forward and stepped into the fissure.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen¡­¡±


    Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji called out, only to see him reach out and spread his five fingers towards the empty sky.


    Sizzle crack!


    Amidst the roaring thunder, a longsword, shining with a purple radiance, descended from the void into his hand!

 Chapter 1023 - Chapter 1023 Chapter 561 Heterodox Golden Core

    Chapter 1023: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core Chapter 1023: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core Forty-nine days?


    When Chen Mobai heard this time frame, he immediately felt it was not acceptable.


    He was merely passing by and had stopped at Back to Sky Valley to visit, how could he possibly stay here for such a long time.


    He was in a hurry to go to the Ming Nation to investigate clues regarding his junior disciple¡¯s disappearance.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai decided to get serious.


    Actually, if he deployed the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation and pushed the Water Element Sword Killing to its extreme, he felt he could indeed penetrate the Mother Locust¡¯s Earth and Fire Dual Defense.


    But this was merely his own speculation; if the Sword Sha Formation failed to destroy the enemy in one strike and the Demonic Beast had other hidden techniques and Divine Skills, wouldn¡¯t that ruin his reputation as unbeatable in Magic Duels throughout the Eastern Wilderness?


    Moreover, the most important thing was that in the Eastern Wilderness, the seamless switching of the Five Elements was always a sign of the Primordial Dao Fruit. If he displayed this technique in front of Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji, there was a high possibility they might mistake it as him attempting to Cultivate into Chaotic Dao Fruit.


    Although Chen Mobai himself planned to cultivate it, after all, he had not accomplished it yet, and this Divine Skill was related to the First Origin Dao Palace, implicating a wide range of issues.


    Before unifying the Eastern Wilderness and achieving ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, he thought it better not to reveal the possibility that he might cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Taking various aspects into consideration, Chen Mobai decided to use the simplest and least effort-consuming method.


    After negotiating the price of a Top-grade Spirit Stone with the Purple Electric Sword, this Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact pierced through the Void, landed in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, and was grasped by his five fingers.


    Crackle, crackle!


    Streaks of purple lightning appeared in the air, turning into strands of electric current that the broad and thick sword blade absorbed.


    As Chen Mobai strode toward the crevice in the ground, with each step he took, the purple lightning on the sword blade grew brighter.


    The Mother Locust, enveloped in yellow and red demonic light, also sensed the terrifying energy gathering on the blade of the Purple Electric Sword and became even more agitated.


    Amidst its hostile cries, the earth trembled, and a strange demonic aura surged out, forming around it a two-colored aura like a hemisphere enclosing it completely.


    At the same time, more dark red lights started to glow deep within the ground fissure.


    These were the lower-ranked locusts that hadn¡¯t been cleared yet; some crossed the leftover waves of the Golden Flame with their flesh and blood, screaming as they charged toward Chen Mobai, who descended from the sky. The others turned into a flesh and blood shield and positioned themselves above the Mother Locust.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, we¡¯ll clear the field for you¡­¡±


    The moment the Purple Electric Sword appeared from the Void, its power to alter the heavens shocked and delighted Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji.


    The shock was of course from the sacred sword of the Longevity Sect wielded by Chen Mobai, Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect; it was even more formidable than they had imagined. With no Nascent Soul stepping forth, it seemed no one could restrain him.


    The delight was that they no longer had to waste forty-nine days here; even though the Mother Locust had Five Elements, facing the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact, it couldn¡¯t possibly hold out any longer.


    However, before they could finish speaking, they saw Chen Mobai already swinging his sword downward.


    A streak of purple sword light slashed out like a whirl!


    The Purple Lightning boomed, turning all the locusts that reached his vicinity into charred remains. Then, the purple sword light cut through the flesh and blood shield effortlessly, splitting it in two.


    The Mother Locust let out an unprecedented shrill scream, spitting out a yellow and red inner core as the demonic energy around it surged to more than triple its size in an instant.


    However, faced with the descent of the Purple Electric Sword, it was like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.


    Confronting the purple sword light head-on, the inner core instantly dimmed. If Yu Shuji hadn¡¯t shouted in time, Chen Mobai¡¯s sword-handling hand would have remained steady, and that precious inner core would have been slashed apart.


    The sword light shattered the inner core¡¯s demonic energy, curved slightly, and sliced the Mother Locust diagonally in half.


    With a bang, bluish-green demonic blood sprayed out, covering every corner of the ground crevice, raising wisps of blue smoke.


    Chen Mobai loosened his grip on the sword, and as the Void opened up again, the Purple Electric Sword slowly sank into the Domain and disappeared.


    Amidst the hostile sounds, the remaining locusts sensed the death of their matriarch and began to go mad; some charged at Chen Mobai, while others scattered in all directions.


    After sending back the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, now open, spun lightly as golden flames emerged once more. The flames spread in all directions in a circular blast wave, turning all locusts within sight to ash.


    Just at that moment, the attacks from Yan Shaoyin and Yu Shuji, meant to cover him, had barely touched down.


    But by then, they were only taking down the lower-ranked Locust Monster Beasts around them.


    Yu Shuji put away his Sickle somewhat awkwardly; he originally thought he was the main force, and the other Core Formation cultivators were there to support him.


    Who would have known that with the appearance of Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Artifact, the Mother Locust, which he felt unable to break through, was instantly killed.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, truly you¡¯re worthy of being the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness!¡±


    To hide his own embarrassment, Yu Shuji offered a word of praise.


    ¡°A Rank-3 Demonic Beast¡¯s inner core¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this time, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s gaze was fixated on the dimming yellow and red inner core in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, approaching step by step to get a clearer look.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, is this inner core¡­¡±


    ¡°Ahem, ahem¡­¡±


    Before Yan Shaoyin could finish his sentence, Yu Shuji interrupted him with a cough.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, thank you for your timely intervention and for saving Xiu Xian.¡±

 Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 561 Heterodox Golden Core_2

    Chapter 1024: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core_2 Chapter 1024: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core_2 As they spoke, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator, who had previously been handling the Array Flag, came to Yu Shuji¡¯s side and offered Chen Mobai a deep bow, expressing her thanks.


    This person was the very one who had identified the Soul Nourishing Wood at the sales meeting in Jian Country; it was she who had encountered Qu XiuXian before.


    Chen Mobai had noticed her when he took action but had no opportunity to converse with her due to the urgency of dealing with the Mother Locust.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, I merely did what I should have done.¡±


    Chen Mobai said modestly, he would have helped anyone in such a situation, provided they were not an enemy of his.


    ¡°The thing is, Sect Master Chen, as you may know, my disciple Lou Xuelong has failed in his Dan Condensation, and if he wishes to attempt it again in the future, he will likely need even more thorough preparation.¡±


    ¡°This Monster Beast Inner Pill happens to have an Earth-Fire Duality Attribute, which matches his Spirit Root Attributes. If it is refined into a Heterodox Golden Core, it can not only make up for the deficit caused by his failed condensation but also increase his success rate for Dan Condensation by thirty percent.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if Sect Master Chen would be willing to part with this inner pill and sell it to me, we can certainly discuss the price.¡±


    Yu Shuji said, somewhat embarrassedly.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the technique of refining Heterodox Golden Core is one of the methods that can help a cultivator most in Dan Condensation.


    It involves slaying a demonic beast that shares the same Spirit Root and Cultivation Technique attributes as oneself and refining its inner core into something akin to an elixir yet similar to a Magic Artifact, creating a Heterodox Golden Core.


    A cultivator nurtures this elixir within their Dantian Qi Sea and, once their Divine Sense and Spiritual Power are completely assimilated with the Heterodox Golden Core, they can utilize it to unleash power surpassing the Foundation Establishment realm.


    This is the Heterodox Golden Core Technique.


    Although the Heterodox Golden Core Technique also grants the power of a Core Formation, it is limited by the cultivation level of the demonic beast pre-mortem and can never be improved.


    Moreover, since it isn¡¯t true Core Formation, the cultivator¡¯s lifespan does not increase.


    Thus, the proper way to use a Heterodox Golden Core is to let a Foundation Establishment Practitioner experience the power of the Golden Core Realm and then, fueled by a burst of determination and using a Secret Technique, shatter the Heterodox Golden Core to break through to a true Gold Core.


    This is known as the Gold Core Swapping Technique, and it is the method with the highest success rate for Core Formation in the Tianhe Realm, but also the most dangerous.


    Because once the Heterodox Golden Core is shattered, if the practitioner fails to successfully form a true Gold Core, their Foundation Establishment body will definitely be unable to endure that power, resulting in certain death.


    Even so, this remains the most popular method amongst Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, Rank-3 demonic beasts are rare, and those matching a cultivator¡¯s attributes are even rarer.


    Furthermore, Foundation Establishment Practitioners definitely cannot slay a Rank-3 demonic beast, so the Heterodox Golden Core Technique is usually used by direct descendants of major sects, and generally only by disciples who have already failed an attempt at Core Formation.


    Lou Xuelong is a case in point.


    It was fortunate for them to come across the Mother Locust with Earth-Fire Duality Attribute, which made Yu Shuji bold enough to step forward and insist on buying the inner pill from Chen Mobai, even at the expense of outbidding Yan Shaoyin.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. Star Heaven Dao Sect truly lives up to its reputation, possessing the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and the Gold Core Swapping Technique.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a look of surprise.


    This shares the same concept as the Legal Body Nascent Soul, but during the transformation into Legal Body Nascent Soul, one must invest all their Essence, Qi, and Spirit with no chance of turning back.


    However, the Heterodox Golden Core Technique also has the Gold Core Swapping Method, allowing a cultivator one last chance to attempt a true Core Formation.


    Though the cultivation techniques from the Tianhe Realm may not compare with the Immortal Gate in precision, they do possess unique and brilliant ideas.


    Such techniques as the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and Gold Core Swapping Method would never be developed in the Immortal Gate regardless.


    Because the demonic beasts over there were protected, let alone killing them to take their inner cores, even wanting to draw a vial of blood or cut a piece of fur for research required an application to the relevant departments.


    ¡°I wonder if this inner core can be exchanged with your sect for the techniques of Heterodox Golden Core and the Gold Core Transposition Method?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and put forward this request.


    After all, since the Divine Wood Sect did not possess the corresponding methods, even if they obtained the inner core, they couldn¡¯t use it. Moreover, there were no Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the sect suitable for this inner core.


    Instead of letting it sit idle in hand, waiting for the elemental energy of the inner core to slowly dissipate, it would be better to maximize its use while they could.


    Chen Mobai had indeed considered whether he could use this inner core to exchange with Yu Shuji for the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique, but that might risk exposing his possession of Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, so he decided to tentatively probe first.


    ¡°I can decide on the Heterodox Golden Core Technique, but I need to report to the Sect Leader before I can agree to exchange the Gold Core Transposition Method.¡±


    Yu Shuji responded somewhat sheepishly after hearing the request.


    Here in the Tianhe Realm, all the great sects maintained very strict control over techniques related to breaking through realms and advancing.


    The Heterodox Golden Core Technique uses the core of a Magic Artifact to refine elixirs. Besides the core concept, other supplementary ingredients must be adjusted by an outstanding alchemist based on the Foundation Establishment Practitioner¡¯s Spirit Root Attributes. The key lies in the alchemist, not the alchemy recipe, so it¡¯s permitted for the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to sell it.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Frankly speaking, our Divine Wood Sect does not yet have this method. If we¡¯re lucky enough to hunt down a Rank-3 monster beast inner pill of the same type in Yun Meng Ze in the future, we might be able to make use of it, so I was thinking of asking if we could exchange with your sect for it.¡±


    Yu Shuji: ¡°I understand and would naturally be willing to exchange with Sect Master Chen, but I simply don¡¯t have the authority. However, please rest assured, Sect Master Chen, I will immediately send Xiu Xian to the East Barbarians, where the headquarters of the Commerce Association can contact the sect directly and strive to get a response as quickly as possible.¡±


    As it concerned his own disciple, Yu Shuji was naturally extremely concerned, and since the method had significant restrictions, he didn¡¯t think handing it over to the Divine Wood Sect would make much of an impact.


    At most, they might hunt a Rank-3 demonic beast or two in Yun Meng Ze, but the Divine Wood Sect had only Hong He suitable for the water attribute. One or two more Golden Core Practitioners appearing would be insignificant to the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°I have heard that there¡¯s a technique similar to the Heterodox Golden Core Technique called the ¡®Embodiment Nascent Soul¡¯, which I learned about during Qu XiuXian¡¯s appraisal of the Soul Nourishing Wood last time. Does your sect have the means to exchange for this technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked casually, as though it were an afterthought.


    Qu XiuXian, who was beside them, heard this and smiled shyly with her beautiful face, clearly recalling the scene when she first met Sect Master Chen at the selling meeting in Jian Country. She hadn¡¯t expected that this matter would leave an impression on him.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible, the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique needs to be reported to several ancestors before we can proceed.¡±


    The Star Heaven Dao Sect might not care about Golden Core Cultivators, but Nascent Soul Cultivators were highly valued, as they represented the pinnacle of their combative strength.


    Even though possessing the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique and the rare and limited Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood as well as Return to the Sun Spirit Water were required, they would not take chances with the possibility of a Nascent Soul emergence; they preferred to nip it in the bud from all possible sources.


    [In other words, the Star Heaven Dao Sect did have the Embodiment Nascent Soul lineage.]


    After obtaining the information he needed, Chen Mobai also stated that he was just asking out of curiosity, purely because seeing Qu XiuXian reminded him of it, and he was very intrigued by the Embodiment Nascent Soul.


    Yu Shuji did not suspect anything and conversed with Chen Mobai about the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and the Embodiment Nascent Soul Method. Yu Shuji did most of the talking, while the latter listened.


    After all, the Embodiment also relates to the Nascent Soul, and though it couldn¡¯t advance further, coupled with some powerful Magic Artifacts, its combat strength was no different from a real Nascent Soul.

    It was for this reason that sects possessing the Embodiment Nascent Souls would not allow this method to spread, to prevent another Nascent Soul Cultivator capable of affecting the situation in the East Land from emerging.


    ¡°Xiu Xian, these two matters are now in your hands. Your master must stay in Flower Country to ensure the complete eradication of this swarm of locusts, preventing another Mother Locust from emerging. Remember to report back in time, and don¡¯t delay.¡±


    After their conversation, Yu Shuji wrote a letter on the spot, entrusting his disciple with the affairs of the Green Wood Evil and the Heterodox Golden Core. Qu XiuXian, upon hearing this, nodded gravely.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I will give my utmost effort in gratitude for saving my life.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai thanked Qu XiuXian, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator he had met only twice. Seeing the Golden Core Cultivator and sect leader show such respect for talent, she was moved, her pretty face blushing slightly.

 Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025 Chapter 562 The Situation in the Eastern

    Chapter 1025: Chapter 562 The Situation in the Eastern Wilderness Chapter 1025: Chapter 562 The Situation in the Eastern Wilderness After Qu XiuXian left to visit the East Barbarians from the Flower Country, Chen Mobai stayed for two more days with Yu Shuji and Yan Shaoyin. Together, they cleared out all the locusts from the fissure underground.


    Once that task was completed, he took his leave.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I¡¯m truly sorry that we couldn¡¯t clone ourselves to deal with the locust disaster; otherwise, I would have definitely taken you for a good tour around the Flower and Summer Countries,¡± Yan Shaoyin said to Chen Mobai, his face full of regret. He then volunteered to escort the party from the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Master Yan, there¡¯s no need for such courtesy, just escort us this far,¡± Chen Mobai said as he quickly flew everyone to the border between the Flower and Sunny Countries on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. Beyond that was the territory of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Fire Vein.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, actually, the heterodox Gold Core technique is also inherited in Back to Sky Valley,¡± Yan Shaoyin said as he escorted Chen Mobai outside. He wasn¡¯t just being polite; he pulled Chen Mobai up into the sky and said something that baffled him.


    ¡°Does Master Yan mean to say that you are also interested in that inner core?¡± Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°Not to hide from you, my disciple, He Jintong, attempted to form a Gold Core with Liquid Gold Jade but failed over in East Yu. The Earth¡¯s Core True Fire Technique he cultivates also has dual attributes of fire and earth,¡± Yan Shaoyin explained, prompting Chen Mobai to shake his head involuntarily. Since he had already promised Yu Shuji, he definitely couldn¡¯t renege on his word.


    Moreover, Back to Sky Valley was an obstacle to his unification of the Eastern Wilderness, and he couldn¡¯t afford to give them the strength of another Golden Core.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always been a man of my word¨Cwhat I say goes. I¡¯ve already first promised Master Yu, so let¡¯s not bring this up again.¡± Chen Mobai, hailing from the Immortal Gate, valued the importance of integrity above all else.


    Yan Shaoyin said with a chuckle, ¡°Sect Master Chen, considering that a third-order Mother Locust was found in the Flower Country, perhaps a second one could be found in the future. With the strength of Back to Sky Valley, we may not be able to slay it alone. But if Sect Master Chen is willing to help, then I won¡¯t have to call upon Yu Shuji.¡±


    This statement rendered Chen Mobai silent for a moment, after which he did not give a specific response.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it when the time comes,¡± he finally said.


    This reply naturally couldn¡¯t satisfy Yan Shaoyin, but he was aware that their relationship with Sect Master Chen was new and they lacked the necessary foundation of trust.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been friends with True Person Zhou for many years, and we collaborated joyfully when refining the Liquid Gold Jade Pill. Our two sects, both being in the Eastern Wilderness, should trust each other more¡­¡± Yan Shaoyin implied subtly. Chen Mobai, realizing why Yan Shaoyin purposely avoided Yu Shuji to make these remarks us, gently nodded and bade farewell.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, take care. Sheng Zhaoxi, from the Fire Vein, has a rather explosive temperament, so please be careful,¡± Yan Shaoyin advised as he left.


    Chen Mobai had been informed by Zhou Shengqing about the personalities and cultivation levels of the three Gold Core Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect before he arrived.


    Ancestor Hunyuan had six personally-taught disciples. The first disciple was a daughter of an old friend he took in during his Loose Cultivation period, whose aptitude was average. Despite his efforts to support her, she only managed to reach the Foundation Building Realm.


    Zhou Shengqing was the second disciple, and Sheng Zhaoxi was the fourth disciple, also female, just like the eldest sister-disciple, who was the hope of a second-rate sect in the Eastern Wilderness, before being poached by Ancestor Hunyuan to become his disciple.


    She and Nu Jiang were almost taken simultaneously. Initially, there was some unease and anger.


    However, in the Eastern Wilderness, to be taken as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Cultivator was an unprecedented opportunity. Thus, after two months of refining her temperament, both of them pledged their allegiance and completely changed their courses.


    As a female, Sheng Zhaoxi naturally had a better relationship with the eldest sister-disciple.


    As the second senior brother, Zhou Shengqing, in turn, was on good terms with Nu Jiang and Mo Douguang, who came after him and bonded like brothers.


    No matter what, their relationship with Zhou Ye, who was the last to join, was quite ordinary.


    Before Chen Mobai left his sect, Zhou Shengqing wrote three letters for the three Gold Core Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, instructing Chen Mobai to use them as he saw fit.


    If he were to visit Sheng Zhaoxi with a personal letter from Zhou Shengqing, considering their past relationship, he should be welcomed with open arms.


    However, after careful consideration, Chen Mobai decided to head directly to Hunyuan Immortal City, located in Ming Nation, within the Earth Vein territory of the Five Elements Sect.


    After all, visibly, Zhou Ye was the leader of the Five Elements Sect, the heir of Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s mantle.


    Deciding not to visit Sheng Zhaoxi was also to avoid making things difficult for her. After all, she is still a Gold Core Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect, and visiting her before Zhou Ye would place them both in an awkward position.


    Taking all these into account, Chen Mobai, upon entering the territory of the Five Elements Sect, proceeded straight for Hunyuan Immortal City in Ming Nation.


    Although he himself would not be going to the Fire Vein, he still had to send greetings.


    Since Sheng Zhaoxi was a female cultivator, it would be best to send a female cultivator in his stead.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the team he had brought along. Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, was undoubtedly someone he needed to keep by his side for protection. That left Ding Ying and Gu Yan.


    When it came to the ability to get things done, the most suitable candidate was naturally Ding Ying.


    After receiving the task personally assigned by Chen Mobai, Ding Ying was somewhat excited. She promised to complete the mission with a letter in hand and then led some of the female disciples with true inheritances from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions. They split from the main force and headed toward the Flame Country Fire Vein headquarters.


    As for Chen Mobai, he led the remaining people toward Ming Nation.


    The Five Elements Sect, as the number one major sect of the Eastern Wilderness, originally controlled most of the Eastern Wilderness territory, commanding thirteen countries and nearly encompassing most of the precious resources and mineral-rich lands.


    After the sect division, Jinguang (Golden Light) took Wind Country, while Divine Wood Sect took Jian Country, Yun Country, Rain Country, Lei Nation, and Sky Country.


    Even so, the Five Elements Sect still possessed seven countries of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among them, the Fire Vein occupied Flame Country, Spring Country, and Sunny Country.


    The Earth Vein owned Ming Nation, Hao Country, and Ji Country.


    The remaining Water Vein had Mist Country, which bordered Rain Country and was an important port to Cloud Dream Swamp in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The headquarters of the Water Vein, Wind Rain Hamlet, was in the center of Cloud Dream Swamp. While it occupied this prime treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness, it also suppressed the demonic beasts within it.


    In the center of Cloud Dream Swamp was sealed a powerful Fourth Order Demon Beast, established by a formidable sealing barrier set up by Ancestor Hunyuan and his good friend Sun Huang Wu, along with Baiwu Ancestor.


    However, with the passing away in meditation of Ancestor Hunyuan and Sun Huang Wu, the strength of the seal had been weakening. If Baiwu Ancestor ignored it, one day the Fourth Order Demon Beast would break the seal, turning the Eastern Wilderness and Dongwu on the opposite side of Cloud Dream Swamp into a paradise for demonic beasts.


    For this reason, when the Five Elements Sect divided, jointly guarding the seal in Cloud Dream Swamp was also one of the contents of the armistice agreement.


    To this day, Divine Wood Sect still releases yearly sect missions to assist Wind Rain Hamlet in eliminating demonic beasts and has a team of Foundation Establishment Practitioners stationed within Cloud Dream Swamp.


    Of course, Divine Wood Sect did this not solely because they understood the concept of a shared fate, but because Cloud Dream Swamp, as the top treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness, contains resources so abundant that it nearly equals the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Not just Divine Wood Sect, but previously all seven of the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness had opened Fang Markets on the various Spiritual Islands within Cloud Dream Swamp to profit from its resources.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s starting Spirit Stone came from Green Light Island in Cloud Dream Swamp.


    When Ancestor Hunyuan was still alive, Cloud Dream Swamp, as the number one treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness, naturally belonged to the Five Elements Sect, but since half the portside lands were in Dongwu, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors agreed to divide and rule to the east and west of the sealed borders.


    On the Eastern Wilderness side, the lands bordering Cloud Dream Swamp were Mist Country, Rain Country, Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Sky Country.


    All these five countries were once under the domain of the Five Elements Sect.


    However, during the Five Elements Sect¡¯s division, due to the loss of absolute deterrence over the Eastern Wilderness, Mountain Shaker Peak, instigated by Zhao Xuankang from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, in alliance with Liu Jia Mountain and also colluding with Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, forcefully seized Sky Country¡¯s territory.


    For this, although both parties of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s division were dissatisfied, they were also fighting intensely at that time, unable to divert attention or dare to divide forces to deal with the combined army of Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, and reluctantly acknowledged Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s occupation of Sky Country.


    After the division was completed, neither side had the power to dominate Cloud Dream Swamp alone, so they simply opened up this treasure land to the other major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Mountain Shaker Peak, Liu Jia Mountain, Back to Sky Valley, and Snow-blowing Palace could enter Cloud Dream Swamp through the country of Sky Country to develop this number one treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among them, the seven sects naturally had their fair share of friction, but after several decades, they gradually formed a tacit understanding, each carving out some of Cloud Dream Swamp¡¯s Spiritual Islands. While occupying them, they also fought against the demonic beasts within their own territories, taking on the role once held by the Five Elements Sect in its prime, to suppress the demonic beasts.


    That was in the past. Now, the situation is somewhat different because Mountain Shaker Peak, nominally occupying Sky Country, was annihilated by Divine Wood Sect.


    While Liu Jia Mountain has not perished, the death of their Golden Core Cultivator declared their withdrawal from the ranks of the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. Most of the previously occupied Spiritual Islands of Cloud Dream Swamp had to be relinquished.


    Zhou Wangshen chose to become the Town Guard of Sky Country specifically to occupy the numerous Spiritual Islands previously under the control of Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain.


    If he could achieve this, even without the support of a sect, he would likely accumulate resources enough for Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai was well aware of this. Although he wanted to support E Yun¡¯s rise, he also hoped to have a competitor within the sect who could fully engage E Yun, so he not only agreed but also facilitated for Zhou Wangshen to freely establish a smaller Divine Wood Sect system in Sky Country. He seized the many Spiritual Islands left vacant by Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain.


    After Divine Wood Sect¡¯s occupation of Sky Country, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley no longer had a land passage to Cloud Dream Swamp.


    Both sects coordinated and exchanged discussions with Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai thought that now was not the best time to act against the two sects. He didn¡¯t want to push them completely to Nanxuan Sect¡¯s side, so he accepted a yearly toll of one million Spirit Stones, allowing them to reconnect the passage to Cloud Dream Swamp.


    To this, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley were extremely reluctant, but when they thought about Divine Wood Sect¡¯s eradication of Mountain Shaker Peak and coercion of Liu Jia Mountain into seclusion, and when they considered the yearly gains they could make from Cloud Dream Swamp, they could only grit their teeth and pay the toll.

    However, within this, there was still an undercurrent of trouble.


    That was Nanxuan Sect, who had reopened their sect in Rock Country and were also expending efforts in Sky Country, trying to steal this passage from Divine Wood Sect¡¯s hands.


    Because of this, the two parties had already started numerous frictions, and one of Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Bodies permanently resided there.


    For years, Nanxuan Sect had been a thorn in the side of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s northern Spiritual Lands, but they dared not attack because no one knew whether it would provoke a full-fledged counterattack.


    [One day, I will have to annihilate Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.]

 Chapter 1026 - Chapter 1026 Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain

    Chapter 1026: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain Chapter 1026: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain According to the strategy set by Chen Mobai, unifying the Eastern Wilderness was merely a matter of time.


    But to completely monopolize the resources of the Eastern Wilderness, it was imperative to deal with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    Among them, the force of the Star Heaven Dao Sect was too terrifying to confront head-on.


    As for the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, which had begun manipulating Mountain Shaker Peak as a pawn during the division of the Five Elements Sect to meddle in the Eastern Wilderness, intending to turn this territory into a retreat for their own sect.


    Compared to the Star Heaven Dao Sect, which only wanted to do business, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was the biggest obstacle to Chen Mobai¡¯s unification of the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, it was fortunate that the Nascent Soul Cultivator Jin Feng, known as the Golden Wind Ancestor over there, was already in the twilight of his life and couldn¡¯t fully exert his power.


    It was presumed that unless it was the last moment of his life, the Golden Wind Ancestor would not risk everything to step foot into the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, there¡¯s no such thing as being too cautious against a potential thief every day. If possible, Chen Mobai still wanted to uproot the Nanxuan Sect from the Eastern Wilderness completely, and then with Northern Abyss City at the core of the northern part, he wished to fully deploy the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation, transforming it into a super-large formation that enveloped Sky Country, Rock Country, and Rainbow Country.


    In this way, even if the Golden Wind Ancestor came from the East Barbarians, the battlefield could be controlled outside of the Eastern Wilderness.


    While pondering over the potential difficulties and solutions in unifying the Eastern Wilderness in his mind, Chen Mobai had already led the group from the Divine Wood Sect past the territories of Hao Country and Ji Country and was about to enter the domain of Ming Nation.


    ¡­


    In Fire Country, at the Fire Truth Palace.


    A slightly plump female cultivator with a majestic face was very surprised after reading a letter.


    ¡°This Junior Brother Chen is quite interesting!¡±


    The female cultivator was none other than Sheng Zhaoxi, a Golden Core Cultivator from the Fire Vein of the Five Elements Sect. After speaking, her disciple Tan Rong raised her head and reported that the envoy from the Divine Wood Sect, Ding Ying, was still waiting outside.


    Tan Rong, ¡°Shall we meet her?¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi, ¡°No, seeing as Junior Brother Chen has taken so much into consideration for me, I will grant his wish and keep out of this for now. Say that I am in secluded cultivation and cannot receive guests.¡±


    On the lands of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had already surpassed the Five Elements Sect and become the premier force.


    Though Sheng Zhaoxi was a Golden Core Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect, she would not risk her life to support Zhou Ye, at least not until she saw how he would respond to Chen Mobai taking the helm of the Divine Wood Sect.


    If Chen Mobai had come to visit her directly, indeed, Sheng Zhaoxi would have been in a dilemma.


    But now, it was just right!


    After hearing this, Tan Rong stood up to leave the Fire Truth Palace but was stopped by Sheng Zhaoxi.


    ¡°Send the group from the Divine Wood Sect to Ming Nation, and make sure nothing happens to them on my territory.¡±


    Though Sheng Zhaoxi had a fiery temper, having cultivated to such a realm, she was also a person of thorough consideration.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Tan Rong was a beautiful female cultivator with a stunning figure, recognized as one of the most renowned Foundation Establishment Practitioners among the younger generation of the Five Elements Sect, and considered to be the talent most likely to reach Core Formation in the Fire Vein.


    She practiced the Red Flame Sword Jue and even exhibited traits of a partial Fire Spirit Body, fully believing her understanding of this cultivation technique to be among the best in the Eastern Wilderness.


    That was until Chen Mobai emerged out of nowhere!


    The title of the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, she was somewhat unconvinced, believing that once she reached Core Formation, she would not be inferior to Chen Mobai.


    That was until she received the news a few days earlier that Chen Mobai had mastered the Golden Flame, overpowered Kong Lingling, and slain the Mother Locust.


    Tan Rong knew that compared to Sect Master Chen, she was worlds apart.


    Only Sword Cultivators who also practiced the Red Flame Sword Jue knew what mastering the Golden Flame meant!


    ¡°Sister Ding, what kind of person is the Sect Master Chen of your sect?¡±


    Ding Ying was slightly startled by the question from Tan Rong beside her, and then she smiled radiantly and told the truth.


    ¡°Our Sect Master is the finest cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness!¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tan Rong grew more curious about Chen Mobai.


    She didn¡¯t argue with Ding Ying¡¯s assessment because, indeed, there was no cultivator more outstanding than Chen Mobai in the Eastern Wilderness.


    That was also why Tan Rong had such complex feelings towards Chen Mobai.


    On one hand, she was filled with admiration for this individual, hailed as the most talented in swordsmanship in the Eastern Wilderness for a thousand years, and on the other hand, as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, she had a natural hostility towards the Divine Wood Sect.


    If only there hadn¡¯t been a division!


    Tan Rong sighed softly.


    If there had been no division, the Five Elements Sect would have had seven Golden Core Cultivators by now, and even without Ancestor Hunyuan, the Nascent Soul Cultivator, it would still be enough to dominate the Eastern Wilderness as dominantly as the Star Heaven Dao Sect did in Dong Yue Region, turning the wilderness into a world belonging to a single sect.


    ¡­


    After Chen Mobai stepped into the territory of Ming Nation, he was met by a disciple of the Five Elements Sect who had come to greet him.


    It was Kong Shanxu, the one who had come during his Core Formation celebration.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, my master is already awaiting you.¡±


    ¡°Lead the way.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the last stop on the tour of the Eastern Wilderness and the real purpose for Chen Mobai. Without considering external factors, the only one that could possibly stand against the Divine Wood Sect was the Five Elements Sect.


    To avoid any mishaps, Chen Mobai only brought along two people, Gu Yan and Mu Yuan, knowing that once he entered Immortal City, if Zhou Ye wished to make a move, it would likely be difficult for him to fight back.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai was not his true self but a Formless Puppet.


    After passing through three Teleportation Arrays, they had arrived outside Hunyuan Immortal City.


    There was a Medium Transporting Formation within the Immortal City, which would only be activated during special occasions, and since Chen Mobai and his companions were considered enemies, they wouldn¡¯t be brought directly into the city through teleportation.

 Chapter 1027 - Chapter 1027 Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain_2

    Chapter 1027: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain_2 Chapter 1027: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain_2 But this was even better, as it allowed them to take in Hunyuan Immortal City in one glance.


    Their Teleportation Array was atop a high mountain, and the Immortal City lay at the foothills, leaning against the mountain and beside the water. Two wide rivers intersected at the heart of the city, fostering the largest cultivator city in the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, several key areas of the Immortal City were covered by colorful auspicious clouds, preventing even Chen Mobai and his group, who were overlooking from above, from seeing through them.


    Soon, Kong Shanxu led Chen Mobai and the others to the main gate of the Immortal City.


    The high city walls were built with spirit-enhanced Qing stones, and powerful runes surfaced on the walls, intertwining with the Large Formation that enveloped the entire Immortal City to form an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside.


    There were one large and two small gates on the city wall.


    The large one was the main gate, and the small ones were the side gates on the left and right.


    The main gate and the left side gate were closed; only the small gate on the right was open, guarded by disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Cultivators who wished to enter or leave the city had to go through here.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please use the left side gate!¡±


    Kong Shanxu waved at the Five Elements Sect disciples on the city wall, prompting the previously closed left side gate to slowly open. Then, two rows of Five Elements Sect disciples emerged from inside, lining up like honor guards.


    ¡°Who could arrive and warrant the opening of the main gate?¡±


    Chen Mobai stopped at the entrance of Hunyuan Immortal City and asked.


    ¡°In the days when the old Ancestor was alive, the main gate would be opened to welcome his two friends, Elder Huangwu and Baiwu Ancestor, when they visited,¡± Kong Shanxu immediately replied, explaining that it was not a slight against Chen Mobai but rather that this was the custom of Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Only Nascent Soul Cultivators could enter through the main gate.


    Since every Immortal City is equipped with a no-fly zone, being able to walk through a certain gate upon entering on foot signifies one¡¯s status.


    Although Chen Mobai was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he had not yet reached the status and level of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    ¡°I hope that the next time I come, I will be able to enter through the main gate,¡± Chen Mobai responded with a smile after hearing the explanation.


    Kong Shanxu pretended not to understand and led him towards the small gate on the left, where palanquins and the like were already parked inside.


    Chen Mobai followed local customs and sat down in one.


    He had wanted to take a closer look at Hunyuan Immortal City, but unfortunately, it seemed that the Five Elements Sect had cleared the area in advance. Other than the Five Elements Sect disciples, he saw no Loose Cultivators or others on the streets.


    It seemed he would only be able to see the true customs and culture of the Immortal City after he managed to conquer it in the future.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai stopped looking around.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, he finally arrived at the Chaos Palace, at the very center of the Immortal City.


    This was where Ancestor Hunyuan used to cultivate in seclusion, and now, naturally, it was occupied by Zhou Ye.


    ¡°I greet Brother Zhou!¡±


    Upon alighting, Chen Mobai saw Zhou Ye waiting at the entrance to the palace and greeted him with a small smile, performing the etiquette of a junior.


    ¡°Although we stem from the same root, we have already split into separate sects, so it would be better if Sect Master Chen refrained from calling me your senior,¡± Zhou Ye said calmly, without giving any face to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Since True Person Zhou has said so, I can rest assured,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    ¡°Oh, how so?¡±


    ¡°With that being the case, when I take this city in the future, I won¡¯t have to consider the old Ancestor¡¯s reputation, and I won¡¯t need to show any leniency to True Person Zhou,¡± explained Chen Mobai.


    Kong Shanxu and the others broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing the exchange between the two men.


    It felt as if these two were about to come to blows at any moment!


    If they really fought, the balance of power in the Eastern Wilderness would be compromised in an instant!


    For both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, it wouldn¡¯t be a good thing. Instead, it would cause factions like the Snow-blowing Palace, Back to Sky Valley, and Nanxuan Sect to cheer.


    Zhou Ye clearly had not expected Chen Mobai to be so direct. Hadn¡¯t they said that although Sect Master Chen was a Sword Cultivator, he was supposed to be quite tactful?


    ¡°It seems Sect Master Chen has not come for a friendly visit.¡±


    However, having said that and under the scrutiny of so many Five Elements Sect disciples, Zhou Ye simply couldn¡¯t show weakness and could only respond with an icy tone.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, if he wanted to unify the Eastern Wilderness, it would be best if Zhou Ye, the heir of Ancestor Hunyuan, were dead.


    Only then would he have sufficient moral high ground to annex the Five Elements Sect.


    But before that, he still needed to obtain the cultivation method of the Primordial Dao Fruit from Zhou Ye¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°It was a tiring journey coming all the way south, I¡¯m somewhat exhausted. How about I take a few days to rest before I pay a friendly visit?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude made Zhou Ye frown. After a cold snort, he turned around and went straight back into the Chaos Palace.


    ¡°Since Sect Master Chen is tired, I will take you to rest at Qingmu Hall first.¡±


    Kong Shanxu immediately came over and led Chen Mobai towards Qingmu Hall in the center of Hunyuan Immortal City.


    This great hall, once presided over by Zhou Shengqing, was an appropriate place to accommodate Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The spiritual energy here is somewhat weak.¡±


    After entering Qingmu Hall, Chen Mobai felt and commented to Kong Shanxu, who immediately indicated that he would notify the Formation Division in the Immortal City. Since Zhou Shengqing¡¯s departure, Qingmu Hall had been without a master for nearly a century, and its spiritual energy had been extracted by the Mysterious Five Elements Array and sent to the Chaos Palace.


    ¡­


    Ming Nation, Guiyuan Mountain!


    Guided by Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai arrived at the last place where Luo Yixuan disappeared.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s a Foundation Establishment Practitioner in the Guiyuan Sect. She¡¯s quite old, so everyone calls her Elder Ming. Aside from her, the rest are insignificant.¡±


    Over the years, Liu Wenbo had been developing the Little Nan Mountain Shop within the territory of the Five Elements Sect. Using the identity of Chen Mobai¡¯s eldest disciple, he was almost treated as an honored guest by all powers and commerce associations.


    He had quietly gathered detailed information about the power of the Guiyuan Sect a long time ago. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s order to personally investigate, he would have been tempted to take action himself.


    Chen Mobai, with his Void Spirit Eye, glanced at Guiyuan Mountain, a very ordinary Rank-3 intermediate-grade spiritual vein land. Indeed, there was an aged spiritual power lurking within.


    It must be that Elder Ming.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    After reaching Core Formation, Chen Mobai no longer feared anyone in the Eastern Wilderness. Thus, he directly headed with Liu Wenbo towards the most vibrant part of the spiritual vein on Guiyuan Mountain.


    ¡°Which fellow daoist¡­?¡±


    At the very peak of Guiyuan Mountain, an old crone with an ashen face felt Liu Wenbo¡¯s presence and emerged discontentedly from her wooden hut, leaning on a wooden staff.


    However, upon coming out and seeing two people, her expression suddenly changed.


    Because Chen Mobai was standing there, yet she couldn¡¯t sense any spiritual energy from him.


    There were only two possibilities for this.


    One was that he had cultivated their sect¡¯s secret Returning Essence Technique to the peak, and the second possibility was that this person¡¯s cultivation realm was far above hers.


    ¡°How should I address this fellow daoist?¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s expression became grave as she planted her wooden staff on the mountaintop. The large formation at the heart of Guiyuan Mountain silently activated.


    ¡°You must have realized by now, I have cultivated your Returning Essence Technique.¡±


    With a light smile, Chen Mobai then dispelled this technique. The powerful spiritual power of the Golden Core Stage emerged, and along with a bronze mirror flying out from his sleeve, the Guiyuan Sect¡¯s formation had hardly begun to operate when it was forcefully interrupted and suppressed by him.

    Elder Ming felt the formation, which she usually controlled effortlessly, suddenly become sluggish and even felt the sensation from the spirit vein growing weak, which greatly changed her complexion.


    ¡°It turns out to be Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    Golden Core Cultivators in the entire Eastern Wilderness were few, and Chen Mobai¡¯s Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, after several battles, had also become well-known, so she recognized him immediately upon his action.


    ¡°This Returning Essence Technique was brought to me by my young disciple from your Guiyuan Sect, but she has since disappeared on your Guiyuan Mountain. I believe you should be able to clarify this matter for me.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he stepped forward, golden flames rising in his eyes. The formidable and terrifying power of the Golden Flame made Elder Ming¡¯s gray hair begin to burn and melt away.

 Chapter 1028 - Chapter 1028 Chapter 564 Crescent Blade

    Chapter 1028: Chapter 564: Crescent Blade Chapter 1028: Chapter 564: Crescent Blade ¡°`


    ¡°After forming your Gold Core, you chose to confront me, which is far more cautious than I had imagined.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just as Chen Mobai was considering whether he was exerting too much force and needed to slightly control the power of the Golden Flame, Elder Ming suddenly uttered words that made his expression change slightly.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Indeed, they abducted Xuan to use against me.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    With this thought, a murderous aura emerged between Chen Mobai¡¯s brows, and golden flames surged upwards, but ultimately he managed to control himself and did not turn the old woman before him into ash.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Hand over Xuan, and I might spare your life.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°You think you can?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Upon hearing this, Elder Ming snorted in derision, then her body flickered with a sacred light, resembling the moon suspended in the dark sky, exuding a yin-driven chill that held back the golden fiery light from enveloping her.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    In that instant, the aura the old woman exhibited had completely surpassed Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And it kept rising, showing no signs of stopping. After blocking the golden fire light from her body, the soft yet extremely bright light continued to expand, quickly taking over half of the sky above the peak of Guiyuan Mountain.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If Chen Mobai had not brought out a second ball of Golden Flame, he might not have been able to withstand her onslaught and could have been suppressed in return.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that his opponent¡¯s cultivation realm was far above his own.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    It was impossible for such a figure to exist on the Eastern Wilderness!

    ¡°You¡¯re not yet qualified to know my identity. Your disciple is well-suited for our sect¡¯s methods and has already become my disciple. If you do not want the Divine Wood Sect to fall, it¡¯s best to act as if you¡¯ve never taken on this disciple.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    As Elder Ming spoke, she raised the wooden staff in her hand and stomped it on the ground.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    BOOM!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Six Yang Sky Fire Mirror, which had been suppressing the movement of the Guiyuan Mountain Spirit Vein, suddenly burst into dazzling Mysterious Yang Divine Light, then quickly dimmed and quivered, retracting back into the sleeve of Chen Mobai¡¯s robe.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai had long since refined the Six Yang Sky Fire Mirror into his Lifespan Artifact, Its power, bolstered by his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, could match that of a Third Rank Superior Grade artifact, yet it was instantly overpowered upon contact.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If he had not sensed something was wrong in the split second of struggle through the Guidance Book and detached it in time, his heart and mind would have been wounded due to their connection to the artifact.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°This Magic Artifact!?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    With a grave expression, Chen Mobai looked towards the inconspicuous wooden staff, and as the Void Spirit Eye activated, he saw the pure white crescent blade hidden within, whose cold and sacred spirit power stung his eyes.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Leave quickly. I have lived in seclusion here for a long time, and I do not wish to expose myself for a junior like you.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    At this moment, Elder Ming spoke again as her wooden staff began to crack slightly, a sliver of cutting, frosty light emerged, and in the blink of an eye, it cleaved into Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, splitting him in two.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But Elder Ming frowned slightly, the brilliance in her old and murky eyes flickering as her divine sense spread through every inch of the mountaintop void.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Chen Mobai that her light had slashed in two had transformed into a fiery phantom and dissipated into thin air.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Over here!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Elder Ming suddenly looked up to see a figure slowly emerging within a cluster of colorful clouds.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Her bright light slashed out again like a crescent moon, tearing the clouds and the figure together into a vast, endless clear rift in the sky.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Not bad speed, using the Ancient Changsheng Sect¡¯s Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, huh!¡± Elder Ming commented, her gaze turning to the other side of the sky where Chen Mobai stepped out unharmed from golden flames.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s actually someone who can recognize my Escape Skill. Who are you, exactly?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai was extremely surprised, for he had received this Escape Skill from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and only he knew of it.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Golden Flame perfected by Green-sun Fire, combined with your unrestrained use of the Fire Escape Technique, yet your body suffers no harm; you must possess an Innate Fire Spirit Body. Those conditions together make your Earth Departing Flame Light Escape a bit too fast,¡± Elder Ming said, addressing something else entirely and making Chen Mobai¡¯s expression grow even more solemn.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape,¡± a fire technique of the Ancient Changsheng Sect, depends on both the cultivator¡¯s realm and the strength of the True Fire and the body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Although Chen Mobai had only recently achieved Core Formation, his Golden Flame had already reached the peak of Qingyang Fire, and his body, thanks to his Fire Spirit Body, had never felt overwhelmed.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This resulted in his mastery of this Fire Escape Technique reaching perfection even at the initial stage of Gold Core.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Because ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape¡± consumes a fixed amount of spiritual power each time, with his current Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he could use it twenty times in a row.

    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    As Elder Ming spoke, she lightly stepped into the air towards Chen Mobai. A tremendous surge of spiritual power burst from her, transforming into a holy radiance like moonlight that seemed to lift a bright moon from the earth, enveloping Chen Mobai under its light.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Sssss!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The void ripped open, and a streak of purple lightning swirled forth, falling like celestial thunder upon Elder Ming¡¯s protective spiritual light, producing a violent shockwave.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 1029 - Chapter 1029 564

    Chapter 1029: 564 Chapter 1029: 564 Crack!


    The surface of the wooden staff split inch by inch, revealing the pure white crescent blade hidden inside.


    The thunderous light bursting from the Purple Electric Sword was cleaved apart, but Elder Ming, who had been ascending, couldn¡¯t help being slammed back down onto the mountaintop.


    ¡°This sword?¡±


    Although Elder Ming had heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s feat of slaying Nanxuan Jing with a sword, she didn¡¯t witness it firsthand and thought it was just an ordinary fourth-order sword artifact.


    After all, towards characters like Nanxuan Jing, it would only take her one strike.


    Who knew that upon testing it today, something felt off.


    While soothing the trembling Moonlight Blade, she looked toward the long-handled sword artifact that was slowly descending from the void and was now grasped by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one last time, who exactly are you, and where is Xuan?¡±


    After summoning the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai had gone all out, with strands of golden lines emerging within his left eye, faintly outlining the rough contour of his opponent.


    The cultivation realm displayed by the opponent was much higher than his, at least at the Core Formation Late Stage, or possibly even Perfect Core Formation.


    The cultivator seemed to practice a cultivation technique that was the exact opposite of his Pure Yang Scroll, utilizing cold and icy spiritual power, along with another fourth- order peculiar curved moon blade magic artifact, which clearly meshed perfectly with her cultivation technique. It was unknown if it was her lifespan artifact.


    Another test with the Purple Electric Sword was needed!


    During the magic duel, Chen Mobai¡¯s essence, qi, and spirit achieved a particularly strange resonance. His focus, observational abilities, and keenness reached the peak he had ever achieved in his life, perfectly entering the Selfless State mentioned in the Guidance Book.


    In a flash of thought, the Purple Electric Sword, having agreed on a price, burst into a dazzling and blinding radiance.


    Flames flickered!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure suddenly vanished from the spot, having already rushed in front of Elder Ming with the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape. A streak of purple light flew from his right hand, slashing at the opponent¡¯s neck.


    Clang!


    The pure white Moonlight Blade flew out, blocking the Purple Electric Sword by a hair¡¯s breadth!


    The two fourth-order magic artifacts erupted with a terrifying might that could shake the earth and move the mountains!


    Amidst the roaring explosions!


    Guiyuan Mountain suddenly split open from the center where Elder Ming¡¯s feet touched, revealing a deep crack that spread across the mountain.


    The entire mountain could not withstand the aftermath of the two¡¯s clash, starting to crack and shake.


    And at that moment, Elder Ming¡¯s skin suddenly began to melt like candle wax. The crescent blade trembled violently, and then suddenly exploded with a terrifying might, pushing Chen Mobai, who was holding the Purple Electric Sword, away.


    ¡°You little fellow, if you¡¯re seeking death yourself, then don¡¯t blame me!¡±


    As she spoke, the entirety of Elder Ming¡¯s body seemed unable to contain the surging spiritual power within. After melting away, another ghastly, silvery figure of a slender woman emerged, then infused into the crescent blade.


    With the complete infusion of her essence, qi, and spirit, the fourth-order magic artifact began to emit an even more terrifying piercing cold light than before.


    Even if Chen Mobai were to push the Purple Electric Sword to its limits, he doubted it would have such power.


    [Danger!]


    [An invincible enemy!]


    [Retreat is the only option!]


    ¡­


    The Guidance Book started to send out intense alarms, urging Chen Mobai not to engage in a fight to the death with the opponent before him, insisting that running away was the best option.


    But after seeing the true face of his opponent, Chen Mobai did not dodge or avoid, his expression calm as he raised the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, channeling most of his spiritual power into the sword artifact.


    The Moonlight Blade and the long-handle sword artifact collided once again!


    Boom!


    At this moment, the Rank-3 Array that originally enshrouded Guiyuan Mountain finally could no longer restrain the terrifying aura unleashed by the clashing pair, and after being utterly torn apart, two more fissures split open the mountain.


    ¡°Die¡­¡±


    After pouring his Essence, Qi, and Spirit entirely into it, the Crescent Blade erupted with one hundred percent of its power, while the Purple Electric Sword was suppressed due to Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level.


    As the Sword Artifact was being inch by inch overwhelmed, the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s Sword Spirit began to grow anxious, wishing to burst forth with its essence. However, Chen Mobai simply waved his left sleeve.


    The previously withdrawn Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror flew out, and a wisp of pure white flame emerged from the mirror¡¯s surface, landing upon the Crescent Blade.


    ¡°Futile, my spiritual power is mixed with Moonlight Spiritual Energy, and it¡¯s unaffected by Golden Flames. Your methods against other Ghost Cultivators are useless on me¡­ Ah¡­ what is this¡­¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s ghastly shadow, originally full of confidence within the Magic Artifact, had thought the Golden Flame couldn¡¯t breach her Spiritual Light shield, but as the Pure Yang Fire descended, her spiritual power melted away like ice and snow cast into boiling water, dissolving in an instant.


    Wisp after wisp of pure white flames landed on the Crescent Blade, spreading like spots, continuously infecting and seeping in.


    Upon contact with the ghostly qi, it was like fuel to fire, igniting the Pure Yang Fire¡¯s ability to the extreme against evil and malevolent spirits.


    Amidst agonized screams, the once-imposing Crescent Blade, seemingly capable of slicing through all matter, began to tremble and emit a pitiful whine.


    ¡°Spare me¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze remained unchanged as he spurred more intense Pure Yang Spiritual Power. The Pure Yang Fire gushing from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror surged like a pure white waterfall of flames, completely enveloping the Crescent Blade.


    Within the even more miserable screams, wisp after wisp of silvery-grey smoke began to evaporate. What was once an almost clearly defined female silhouette began to shrink steadily, eventually reduced to just a small fraction of her original size, on the verge of being completely refined away by the Pure Yang Fire.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to¡­ save your¡­ disciple¡­¡±


    At the brink of life and death, she broadcast this sentence with her last divine sense.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s originally cold eyes wavered; the fully formed golden lines in his left eye slowly faded, and a human¡¯s emotions returned one by one.


    Yet, to ensure his opponent had no power left to resist, Chen Mobai unleashed a burst of Pure Yang Fire one last time, refining her down to a mere tenth of her size before stopping.


    ¡°Come out from this Fourth-grade Magical Weapon.¡±


    But Chen Mobai was still a little uneasy because he had personally experienced the might of the Crescent Blade. Even if his opponent had just a breath left, he wished to extract her from it.


    ¡°I have only a breath left now, and if I leave the Moonlight Blade, even a gust of Yang wind could disperse my soul¡­¡±


    A somewhat pleading voice emanated from the Crescent Blade. Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed as he retrieved a Storage Bag from the melting edges of Elder Ming¡¯s body.


    ¡°You Ghost Cultivators always carry something that can nourish the soul, open it and take it yourself.¡±


    At this point, Elder Ming, scared witless by the Pure Yang Fire, didn¡¯t hesitate and used her last bit of divine sense to open the Storage Bag.


    Inside, there indeed was a piece of Fourth-order Soul Nourishing Wood.


    After transferring Elder Ming¡¯s soul and Spiritual Light into the Soul Nourishing Wood, Chen Mobai opened up his own Golden Core Domain and locked away both the Purple Electric Sword and the Crescent Blade.


    This was now as safe as it could get.


    However, he now sensed the presence of numerous Foundation Establishment Practitioners closing in on this location.


    Looking around, Chen Mobai also noticed that the Large Formation protecting Guiyuan Mountain had completely collapsed during the recent clash; even the mountain itself had cracked open, the Spirit Veins beneath it beginning to leak.


    ¡°The Large Formation I set up on Guiyuan Mountain was merely to conceal the grand aura of my cultivation and magic practice. Facing the Saint Heir¡¯s earth-shattering Sword Technique, it indeed couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Elder Ming¡¯s divine sense conveyed, seemingly attempting to curry favor, hoping to avoid being refined by Pure Yang Fire after Chen Mobai inquired about Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s change the location of our talk.¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation, although he didn¡¯t care for Foundation Establishment Practitioners, this was still within the territory of the Five Elements Sect. Without deciding to open conflict with Zhou Ye, he still had to consider his feelings somewhat.


    A quarter of an hour later, Rong Chi, the Foundation Establishment Practitioner closest to Guiyuan Mountain of the Five Elements Sect, arrived at the scene.


    The sight of Guiyuan Mountain cracked open from the middle and the terrifying spiritual powers lingering atop the summit left his face in shock.

 Chapter 1030 - Chapter 1030 Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path

    Chapter 1030: Chapter 565: Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path Chapter 1030: Chapter 565: Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path After Rong Chi, two more Foundation Establishment practitioners flew over.


    They were from the Yuyai Market nearby, one was a senior ancestor of the Wang family, and the other was a Guest Elder from the Qunyu Tower. Seeing the entirety of Guiyuan Mountain split open, their faces showed shock as well.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    They had originally thought it was some kind of secret treasure or ruins emerging, considering that in the Eastern Wilderness, Golden Core Cultivators could be counted on one¡¯s fingers. It seemed impossible for such an event to happen at Guiyuan Mountain.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist Rong, could it be that one of your sect¡¯s Supreme Elders has taken action?¡±


    The two Foundation Establishment practitioners who arrived later also knew Rong Chi, and they couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Please keep this matter a secret. I¡¯ll return to the Immortal City to report to the sect master.¡±


    Having given the instruction, Rong Chi took out a formation from his storage bag. After deploying it, it turned into a trail of yellow smoke, enveloping Guiyuan Mountain, then he used an Escape Skill and headed toward Hunyuan Immortal City.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master, you can put me down ten miles ahead of the market.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, who was being carried by Chen Mobai with the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± pointed to a market built atop a cliff in the near distance.


    ¡°Hmm, inform the other members of the sect. After collecting the seeds of the Spirit Rice Spirit Plant and the like, they can start evacuating to the Rain Country.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s main purpose for coming to the Ming Nation this time was to look for traces of Luo Yixuan. Now that he had some results, there was naturally no need to waste time here.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately went to carry out the task.


    After setting down his disciple, Chen Mobai identified a direction and flew steadily.


    It was unclear how much time had passed when he finally arrived in front of a mountain range. Following the guidance, he flew in and among the endless thousands of peaks, found one that looked unremarkable and descended.


    ¡°Is this the place?¡±


    After landing, Chen Mobai took out the piece of Soul Nourishing Wood, and a dim, silver-grey shadow immediately appeared, scanning the surroundings and nodding its head.


    ¡°Saint Heir, at the time of zi today, when Yin meets Yang, a part of the Yellow Springs Path will project here. Your disciple is hidden by me in the void between the Yin Yang Rift.¡±


    Elder Ming didn¡¯t dare to hide anything and disclosed the whereabouts of Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°We still have to wait until the time of zi¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression also changed slightly.


    Luo Yixuan had been missing for nearly ten years, and although he appeared unaffected on the surface, he was more worried than anyone at heart.


    The closer he was to success, however, the more nervous he became.


    But he could not let others see it.


    Chen Mobai calmly surveyed the surrounding peaks. Here, there was intermediate grade Rank-1 Spiritual Energy. If it were near the Immortal Gate, it would have been claimed and developed long ago.


    But in the Eastern Wilderness, due to the high altitude and thin Spiritual Energy, no cultivators came here.


    After all, even for Qi Practitioners, reaching the top of such high mountains was not easy without the ability to fly.


    And for Foundation Establishment Practitioners who could easily come here, this bit of Spiritual Energy was not worth noticing.


    Yet Chen Mobai found the scenery here to be quite nice. Standing on the peak and looking out into the distance, the mountain ranges seemed to stretch from the horizon all the way to the edge of the sky.


    Between the mountain ranges, like countless screens, the sky was sliced into different patterns. Clouds slowly drifted over the peaks, like the skirts of fairy maidens, light and beautiful.


    Below the clouds, stretches of lush greenery, forests, and streams interwove into a natural landscape. With the Void Spirit Eye in operation, he could see ant-sized figures carrying herbs on their backs, climbing and moving through the mountains.


    Nobody would imagine that atop this mountain peak, there existed a rift between the realms of Yin and Yang.


    ¡°How did you recognize the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape?¡±


    Since there was still some time before zi, Chen Mobai chatted with Elder Ming.


    ¡°Saint, could you possibly spare my life?¡±


    Elder Ming asked tentatively, having disclosed Luo Yixuan¡¯s whereabouts but not yet the method of entering the Yin Yang Rift. She wanted to feel secure before fully revealing everything.


    ¡°I have always kept my word¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with integrity, but Elder Ming only trusted oaths bound by one¡¯s Dao Heart.


    [The cultivators here are all too wary.]


    Chen Mobai thought to himself and after pondering for a moment, weighing his options, he nodded.


    ¡°I can swear, but you must also swear to tell me everything you know without any concealment.¡±


    ¡°Saint, after my revival in Huangquan, I cultivated for more than three hundred years, and after my transmigration, another two hundred-plus years passed. Combined with the fragmented memories of resurrection from my previous life, I have knowledge spanning a thousand years, which is quite a lot. If I were to tell you everything in detail, I would need to talk for several years, maybe even more than a decade, without sleep or rest.¡±


    Elder Ming spoke words that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You have such a significant origin?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Where, where, compared to you, Saint, my history is truly insignificant.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s reply only increased Chen Mobai¡¯s curiosity. After thinking it over, he modified the content of the oath.


    ¡°I swear to spare your life, but for every question I ask, you must answer without any concealment.¡±


    ¡°Saint, you also have to ensure that no one other than yourself can kill me.¡±


    Elder Ming left no stone unturned. Cultivators who had mingled in the Eastern Wilderness knew these matters all too well. She added a few more conditions Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t thought of, covering loopholes to ensure she wouldn¡¯t completely perish due to various accidents.

 Chapter 1031 - Chapter 1031 Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path_2

    Chapter 1031: Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path_2 Chapter 1031: Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path_2 ¡°Okay!¡±


    After weighing the situation, Chen Mobai confirmed that the information he could gain from her was more valuable than her life and made a contract with her.


    ¡°Now, you can speak.¡±


    ¡°Where would the Saint Heir like to start hearing from?¡±


    ¡°Start from the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape. This escape skill should not be known by anyone in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not forget his initial confusion and brought the topic back to the beginning.


    ¡°Report to the Saint Heir, in my past life I was actually a member of the Longevity Sect, one of the candidates for the sixth generation¡¯s Saintess.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, with only average cultivation level and talent, I was eliminated in the third round, and in the end, I only managed to reach Perfect Core Formation, failing at ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ and passing away in meditation.¡±


    ¡°Before I passed away, I used the sect¡¯s secret technique to dissolve my corpse, turning into an unconscious lonely soul that entered the Yin World. After wandering in the underworld for who knows how long, I finally regained some memories from my past life. Then I began to slowly cultivate, both improving myself and regaining my memory.¡±


    ¡°More than two hundred years ago, a mysterious cultivator intruded into the Yin World and disturbed the Ghost Emperor sleeping in the deepest part of the underworld. They fought fiercely, tearing through the barrier between Yin and Yang, creating a passageway through the Yellow Springs Path that connected the worlds that should never have crossed.¡±


    ¡°It was during that time that I came to the Eastern Wilderness and cultivated a female cultivator from the Guiyuan Mountain as a Ghost Fetus in the Womb using the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld and have been hiding until now.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s candid words greatly surprised Chen Mobai.


    Her past life was actually a member of the Longevity Sect?


    What shocked him even more was the origin of the Yellow Springs Path revealed in her words.


    It was actually created when a mysterious cultivator forced his way into the Yin World and clashed with the Ghost Emperor.


    Was it Ancestor Hunyuan?


    But the timeline doesn¡¯t quite match up!


    Chen Mobai pondered, temporarily pressing this question down, and started to ask Elder Ming another question.


    ¡°Since you were a member of the Longevity Sect, and have been in the Eastern Wilderness for over two hundred years, you must know that the Longevity Sect has disappeared from the annals of history. Do you know why such a grand sect would suddenly vanish without a trace?¡±


    Inside the Divine Tree Secret Realm, among the three Divine Trees, are contained the inheritance and treasures of the Longevity Sect. If he could make all of these his own, Chen Mobai was confident that he could develop the strength of the Divine Wood Sect in a short time. Then, his grand plan to unify the Eastern Wilderness could be implemented earlier.


    But the key to using these was how to deal with the most mysterious Great Dao Tree!


    And whether the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign still existed within it?


    Now encountering an actual member of the Longevity Sect, naturally, Chen Mobai wanted to inquire thoroughly.


    ¡°With your identity as the Saint Heir, you don¡¯t know about this matter?¡±


    However, after listening, Elder Ming turned around and asked him.


    ¡°I became the Saint Heir only because the sect still had the Divine Tree Secret Realm that True Lord Yuan had altered. After Foundation Establishment, I easily took twelve steps in front of the Great Dao Tree¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had not sworn an oath of authenticity to Elder Ming, so he simplified the process of how he became the Saint Heir in front of the Great Dao Tree a bit.


    ¡°Just at Foundation Establishment and able to take twelve steps in front of the Great Dao Tree, the Saint Heir¡¯s talent, even in the history of our sect spanning tens of thousands of years, would be ranked in the top three.¡±


    Elder Ming, who was unaware that Chen Mobai had tried several times after Foundation Establishment to achieve this result and thought he did it in one go, couldn¡¯t help but express her admiration, knowing full well the difficulties of the Longevity¡¯s trials.


    ¡°Only the third?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised, he had fully expected the embellished version of his achievement to be enough to top the Longevity Sect¡¯s charts throughout the ages.


    But to think that there were others more extraordinary than he!


    Foundation Establishment followed by directly taking thirteen steps?


    Being possessed by the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign on the spot?


    ¡°From my memories before passing away, aside from the first Saint Heir and the fourth Saintess, your achievement is the best,¡± she said.


    When Elder Ming joined the Longevity Sect, the sect was at its peak. However, as she passed away in meditation later on, the records concerning the Longevity Sect also vanished overnight along with the disappearance of all the high-ranking cultivators within the sect, so her understanding was quite limited.


    ¡°Hmm, so as the Saint Heir, I¡¯ve only inherited a secret realm and the legacy of the Longevity Sect. I certainly don¡¯t know as much about this ancient sect as you do,¡± Chen Mobai had no intention of hiding the truth and spoke candidly.


    ¡°Regarding the overnight disappearance of the higher echelons of my sect, I¡¯ve always had a suspicion, but I dare not assert its correctness.¡±


    ¡°Oh? What is your conjecture?¡±


    To save her life, Elder Ming had signed a Dao heart contract. Faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s question, she could only reveal a thought that had been hidden in her heart for hundreds of years.


    ¡°I fear that the Heavenly Sovereign has merged paths!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared puzzled.


    ¡°The Heavenly Sovereign has merged paths? What does that mean?¡±


    He had some understanding of the Heavenly Sovereign, who was the supreme being worshipped by the Longevity Sect.


    But merging paths¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, Saint Heir,¡± Elder Ming faced Chen Mobai¡¯s question and had no choice but to share what she knew, ¡°The Tianhe Realm is now somewhat depleted of spiritual energy, so the highest one can cultivate to is the Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, beyond which one must ascend to progress further.¡±


    ¡°But in the earliest days of creation, it was possible to cultivate to the Merging Dao Realm. The Heavenly Sovereign is one of the oldest beings in the Tianhe Realm, and when worshipped by the Longevity Sect, was the existence closest to the Merging Path in this realm.¡±


    ¡°The doctrine established by the Longevity Sect was to worship the Heavenly Sovereign so he could merge paths, and then lead everyone in the sect to ascend together.¡±


    After listening to Elder Ming¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was deeply shocked.


    He knew that within the immortal gates, the highest level was the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    Although he had heard Zhongli Tianyu mention that there were levels and realms above Spirit Transmutation, according to his knowledge, no one in the immortal gates had ever achieved it.


    Yet, in this Tianhe Realm, there were not only ascended monks above Spirit Transmutation but there was even an inconceivable Merging Dao Realm in ancient times.


    Even more unbelievable was the ability to lead an entire sect to ascend to the Upper Realm.


    Such strength far exceeded Chen Mobai¡¯s imagination.


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, the Heavenly Sovereign merged paths and took all the followers of the Longevity Sect up with him!¡± Chen Mobai said, pointing upwards, and Elder Ming nodded. Apart from this reason, she could think of no other that could make such a powerful force disappear without a trace overnight.


    After all, in ancient times, the Longevity Sect could be considered one of the most powerful forces in the Tianhe Realm, and with the nearly Merging Path level Heavenly Sovereign, no cultivator or being could make such a dominant force vanish so silently and completely.


    [If that¡¯s really the case, then it¡¯s a good thing!]


    Chen Mobai instantly realized, if the Heavenly Sovereign had ascended after merging paths, then the most formidable presence of the Great Dao Tree, the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s spiritual sense, would certainly no longer exist.


    No wonder True Lord Yuan could cultivate to the stage of ascension with the Longevity Sect¡¯s legacy.


    He must have obtained something left behind by the Heavenly Sovereign from the Great Dao Tree.


    It¡¯s a pity that he arrived in the Eastern Wilderness too late, or perhaps it would have been him ascending instead of True Lord Yuan.


    Chen Mobai felt regret in his heart.


    He was already thinking about returning to Giant Tree Ridge and then raiding the Divine Tree Secret Realm again, to see if he could enhance his Rank-3 techniques to Rank-4 through the Great Dao Tree.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He wasn¡¯t asking for much, a Rank-4 in Sword Dao Realm or Thunder method would suffice. If not, even a Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash would do.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening and that the hour of midnight was approaching, asked Elder Ming one more question.


    ¡°Now that a path has been opened between the Yin World and the Living World, creating the Yellow Springs Path which connects both, why haven¡¯t you ghost cultivators come to the Yang Realm on a large scale?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Elder Ming shook her head with a bitter smile.

 Chapter 1032 - Chapter 1032 Chapter 566 Finding the Disciple

    Chapter 1032: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple Chapter 1032: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple ¡°If cultivators from the living world wish to become ghost cultivators, they must completely extinguish their physical bodies that remain in the yang realm before they can enter the yin world.¡±


    ¡°Correspondingly, if a ghost cultivator from the yin world enters the living world, they will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation due to the lack of yang energy, and the higher their cultivation level, the stronger the tribulation.¡±


    ¡°The so-called ¡®yang energy¡¯ refers to one¡¯s lifespan. Thus, we ghost cultivators who have come to the living world through the Yellow Springs Path must use the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld to find a body that still has an unspent lifespan to possess, to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.¡±


    Elder Ming explained in detail.


    In times past, some ghost cultivators who reached the living world via the Yellow Springs Path, unaware of these heavenly rules, soon after bursting out of the path, they were locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation due to their unrestrained release of ghostly qi, turning to ash.


    Elder Ming, who hailed from the Longevity Sect and was aware of this, did her utmost to conceal herself. It wasn¡¯t until she successfully cultivated a Ghost Fetus in the Womb and possessed a new body that she began to reveal her strength and presence bit by bit.


    Even so, these ghost cultivators didn¡¯t dare to strike with their full power.


    Because even with a body cultivated from a Ghost Fetus in the Womb, it would not be a perfect fit with their own soul, and the erosion of lifespan by ghostly qi meant their yang energy depleted at twice the rate of ordinary people.


    Thus, the previous Ghost Fetus in the Womb Elder Ming had cultivated to the stage of a Ghost Pill, though seemingly powerful, actually had only half the lifespan of a typical Golden Core Cultivator after her possession.


    For this reason, after over two hundred years, her yang energy was nearly exhausted, and she needed to prepare another new body to help her avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Ghost cultivators generally do not search for a Ghost Fetus in the Womb near their place of hiding.


    Elder Ming¡¯s previous targets included a true successor of Back to Sky Valley, the natural daughter of Lu family of Spring Country that practiced immortal cultivation, and a loose Foundation Establishment practitioner from Yun Meng Ze.


    Each of these three had their advantages and disadvantages, and Elder Ming had been indecisive about which one to choose.


    But at that time, Luo Yixuan appeared before her, which was exactly what she needed¨Clike finding a missing piece to a puzzle.


    Luo Yixuan alone was better than the three she had chosen combined.


    After inquiring, she learned that Luo Yixuan was a cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect with a mentor who was hailed as a Sword Cultivation Genius, born into a family with only a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and with a rather ordinary background. So, Elder Ming felt at ease kidnapping her.


    However, the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation came while she was cultivating Luo Yixuan.


    This was somewhat unexpected for Elder Ming.


    Because in the Eastern Wilderness, she had heard of no fewer than a hundred cultivators hailed as geniuses, but the number who had actually managed to achieve Core Formation could be counted on one hand.


    But now that the Huangquan Holy Fruit had been consumed, she would have to stick to the chosen path.


    If Chen Mobai really did come looking for his disciple, Elder Ming was confident she could capture him within one move, even though he was a novice Golden Core stage Sword Cultivator.


    It wasn¡¯t until the news that Zhou Shengqing might have ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and had effortlessly killed three great ghost cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators came that Elder Ming was truly shaken.


    She even began considering leaving the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, after waiting for some time, she found that there was no movement from Zhou Shengqing, who was said to be recuperating his elemental energy in seclusion according to the Divine Wood Sect. But Elder Ming, who came from the Longevity Sect, immediately thought of a Forbidden Technique.


    The Reverse Longevity Technique!


    Realizing this, she completely reassured herself.


    As long as no Nascent Soul Cultivator intervened, she was invincible in the Eastern Wilderness!


    Then, she encountered Chen Mobai, who had cultivated the Pure Yang Scroll. Full of confidence, she unleashed all her divine skills and magic artifacts, yet she was refined down to the last wisp of soul¡¯s spiritual light.


    ¡°How many ghost cultivators are hidden in the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not know the journey of Elder Ming¡¯s heart and asked another question.


    As a ruler aspiring to unify the Eastern Wilderness, he needed to know how many obstacles and opponents still lurked in the shadows.


    ¡°To my knowledge, including myself, there were six of us at the Golden Core level. Three have been slain by your Divine Wood Sect, one is hidden in the ruins near the three northern countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and another is on an island in Yun Meng Ze, pretending to be a Magic Daoist monk¨Cwhich is not really pretending, as he was a Devil Cultivator in his past life.¡±


    After hearing Elder Ming¡¯s answer, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    Six great ghost cultivators, three killed by Zhou Shengqing, with Elder Ming falling into his hands, and the remaining two, once he had time to track them down, would also experience the power of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°There are no Nascent Soul level ones, right?¡±


    But, just to be cautious, Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°There are none here in the Eastern Wilderness, because ghost cultivators of that level have such dense yin energy that as soon as they show themselves in the living world, they almost immediately trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, which is hard to hide from. Moreover, to exert their full strength, they need to possess the flesh of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator¨Cbeings whose power is even greater than their own.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s words put Chen Mobai at ease.


    However, deep inside, he still held a slight regret, wondering whether his Pure Yang Scroll could overcome a large gap in the realm and counter ghost cultivators.

    But it was just a thought, for if he really faced a Nascent Soul Cultivator, running as fast as possible would be the course of action.


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and a sudden chill enveloped everything between heaven and earth.


    ¡°The Midnight Cold Tide is upon us, we can open the Yin Yang Rift now¡­¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s divine sense transmitted a peculiar and unfathomable technique into Chen Mobai¡¯s mind. After reading through it once, to ensure there were no accidents, he carefully sought further instruction.


    [The Saint Heir cares so much about his disciple, I hope when they meet, they won¡¯t blame me.]

 Chapter 1033 - Chapter 1033 Chapter 566 Finding the Disciple_2

    Chapter 1033: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple_2 Chapter 1033: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple_2 As Elder Ming was considering this, Chen Mobai had already cast his spell, with his right index finger shining a sliver of sharp light, like a keen blade, stabbing and slicing through the air before him.


    A pitch-black fissure suddenly split open in the void at the mountaintop.


    The fissure continued to expand towards both sides after it cracked open and, in the blink of an eye, a portal wide enough for a person to pass through emerged.


    Streams of even colder air gushed out from within, prompting Chen Mobai to take out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror without a moment¡¯s hesitation.


    ¡°The Yellow Springs Path is nestled between Yin and Yang, a fracture accessible to beings from both the Underworld and the Living World, yet uncomfortable for all¡­¡±


    Just as Elder Ming was thinking about how to persuade Chen Mobai to let her inside, so she could help bring Luo Yixuan out, the latter took a wooden figure from his storage bag, and after dividing his Divine Sense, he began to navigate the Blue Sun Puppet down the Yellow Springs Path.


    ¡°A Longevity Puppet!¡± Elder Ming recognized at a glance the origin of this wooden figure, it was indeed the Puppetry Technique of their Longevity Sect, ¡°The Saint Heir is actually versed in this as well, truly a man of many talents.¡±


    ¡°Just interested,¡± Chen Mobai said without admitting that he was actually an expert in this area as his Divine Sense, through the Blue Sun Puppet, was already surveying the Yellow Springs Path.


    It was a domain shrouded in thick mists, as if they would never disperse.


    Despite the presence of a dim yellow moon in the sky, shedding faint light, Chen Mobai felt as if he was in the midst of an endless night, unable to see his own fingers when he extended his hand.


    An eerie atmosphere permeated every corner of the void; with each step he took, the pressure in his Divine Sense increased.


    The sensation beneath the Puppet¡¯s feet was as if it were stepping into a vast, boundless desert, and the darkness and chill in the air made the operations of the Divine Sense sluggish.


    Amidst the silence that seemed infinite, a thunderclap that could shake the universe suddenly erupted, lighting up the sky with a crimson bolt of lightning, causing his Divine Sense to tremble with intense fluctuations.


    But after stopping and waiting for a while, the surroundings returned to that same sinister, terrifying silence as before.


    Chen Mobai, controlling the Blue Sun Puppet, tried to move forward again, only to feel suddenly paralyzed.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    Chen Mobai, standing outside the Yellow Springs Path, immediately took out the central Heavenly Calculation Bead that controlled the puppet, and began to check the Blue Sun Puppet, which he had modified himself, from top to bottom.


    Although this Heavenly Calculation Bead was a Rank-2 discarded from the puppet factory, it was still considered a high-end product in the Tianhe Realm.


    Shortly after, Chen Mobai discovered the problem.


    The air within the Yellow Springs Path contained a kind of energy that was toxic to all except Ghost Cultivators. Even without breathing, simply moving through the path would contaminate everything, causing every tangible object to become slow and stagnant.


    ¡°It truly is the Underworld!¡± Chen Mobai exclaimed, and then he switched the puppet to manual mode, driving its limbs with his Divine Sense, and proceeded towards the place where Luo Yixuan lay sleeping.


    It was a black mountain!


    ¡­


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t know how long she had been in this pitch-black space. At first, she had been able to keep track of every moment.


    But soon, without any reference points, she realized her sense of time was no longer accurate.


    What was the background of that old woman? She was clearly a Golden Core Cultivator yet hid within the Guiyuan Sect for so many years without revealing herself.


    Luo Yixuan guessed she might be a demon from the Magic Path, coveting her young and beautiful body, wanting to cultivate it before seizing it for herself.


    This realization made Luo Yixuan all the more anxious.


    But her cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment, with no power to resist a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Moreover, to stay alive, she had to feign submission, hoping a turn of events might come.


    After all, she was a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. Her sudden disappearance would surely raise questions, and with her master¡¯s status, it might be possible to ask two elder ancestors for help.


    But all this was contingent on her survival.


    So, Luo Yixuan cooperated with Elder Ming; they went to Yun Meng Ze to meet with a Magic Daoist Monk, and used secret techniques to modify her birth date and time, to align their destinies together.


    She then cultivated the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld, consumed the Huangquan Holy Fruit, and was even placed within this dark, enclosed box, enduring the assault of the cold tide and Yin energy, and facing the unknown fear of her body slowly transforming.


    A day, a week, a month, a year, two years, five years, eight years¡­


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t know how long she had been in this lonely environment; several times, she felt she was going insane, but her tenacious nature kept her going.


    Yet, as the years stretched on, she began to doubt in her heart!


    Would her master really come to rescue her?


    Having been a deep thinker since childhood, despite the unprecedented affection and familial love she had received in Xiao Nanshan, there was always an indescribable fear deep in her heart.


    She understood clearly that her ability to reach Foundation Establishment and return home in glory, compelling the once high and mighty ancestral patriarch of her family to bow and fawn, was all thanks to the best master in the world.


    What if, one day, her master no longer wanted her?


    Those who have had something are most afraid of losing it again, becoming left with nothing.


    Luo Yixuan was very afraid that her warmest decade-plus years spent in Xiao Nanshan were just a fantasy in her heart amidst suppressed anguish and pain.


    Every day, when she opened her eyes and looked at this enclosed rectangular space, her fear grew stronger.


    After being abducted by Elder Ming, she had consumed three Huangquan Holy Fruits one after another in the span of ten years, her cultivation level surging to the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment Completion, but what followed were violent changes to her body and even more turbulent waves of despair deep within her heart.


    She felt her consciousness becoming shorter and shorter in the time it took to awaken under the erosion of the cold and gloomy energy.


    Perhaps one day, she would fall into a deep sleep, never to awaken again.


    Moreover, that day was not far off!


    As her cultivation level grew higher, Luo Yixuan could feel more clearly the omens of her own death.


    ¡°Mother¡­¡±


    Just before falling asleep once more, the totality of Luo Yixuan¡¯s memories from her childhood began flashing through her mind, focusing on the only family member she truly cared about.


    However, given the nature of her master and fellow disciples, even if I were to die, they would surely take good care of Mother for me.


    Thinking this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s worries for her mother gradually dissolved, and she quickly glossed over the painful memories of her time with the Luo family.


    Her memory flashed back to that day.


    After dressing up, she followed Luo Yixiu to the Southstream Market, waiting for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Town Guard to arrive and take them to the sect.


    That was the day that changed her fate because it was the first time she had met him.


    At that time, Luo Yixuan could never have imagined that she would someday become his disciple.


    The years she spent in Xiao Nanshan were the happiest time of her life.


    If only she could have stayed at that time forever.


    In Luo Yixuan¡¯s mind, the gentle image of her master, who had always treated her kindly, began to fade as she slowly drifted to sleep.


    Thump!


    An unprecedented tremor started to spread, attempting to wake up Luo Yixuan, who had just drifted to sleep, but her body could not escape this regularity.


    [Who is it?]


    She wanted to speak, but she could not open her mouth, nor could she move.


    ¡­


    ¡°This is the place!¡±


    Chen Mobai steered the puppet and set foot on a black mountain; the entrance to the Yellow Springs Path that Elder Ming had discovered wasn¡¯t too far from their destination.


    He carved open one side of the mountain with a Divine Wood Sword carried by the puppet, entered the body of the mountain, and quickly found a vibrant red sedan chair.


    This was a special magic artifact designed to isolate Luo Yixuan¡¯s living human aura, allowing her to transform into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb faster on the Yellow Springs Path.


    Following Elder Ming¡¯s instruction, Chen Mobai single-handedly lifted the sedan chair and left the black mountain.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He encountered no accidents on the return journey.


    After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!


    The Blue Sun Puppet, under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, burst out of the Yellow Springs Path.


    Back in the living world, Chen Mobai had no more concerns; he reached out and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.


    A girl, white as snow, appeared before his eyes.

 Chapter 1034 - Chapter 1034 Chapter 567 The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign

    Chapter 1034: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign Chapter 1034: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign After another bout of deep slumber, Luo Yixuan¡¯s consciousness gradually awoke once again from the void and stillness.


    Her eyelids twitched slightly and slowly opened.


    She had thought it would be the same darkness and tranquility as before, but a piercing ray of light now fell upon her pupils through the slits of her eyelids.


    The long-lost light was so dazzling and painful.


    She couldn¡¯t help but close her eyes again.


    At this moment, she finally felt a difference from before and remembered the unusual tremor before this sleep.


    Is my body finally about to be possessed!?


    A sense of dread suddenly weighed on Luo Yixuan¡¯s heart.


    In that place of perpetual darkness where she had been captive for ten years, the few times she had been let out were only for an old hag to feed her a pitch-black fruit.


    Every time after consuming it, her cultivation level would advance by leaps and bounds, shattering her bottlenecks in a short period of time.


    Today, she has reached the realm of Foundation Establishment Completion, a level so unfathomable she wouldn¡¯t dare dream of it.


    Even her master, proclaimed as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius, probably hasn¡¯t advanced this quickly.


    Moreover, after achieving Foundation Establishment Completion, Luo Yixuan increasingly felt her body absorbing the ghastly cold air of the dark space, changing in a direction she could not stop.


    With her intelligence, she naturally thought of the worst consequence.


    Once the transformation of the body was complete, it would be time for the old crone to possess her.


    Although she tried her best to resist, after consuming three Huangquan Holy Fruits, the spiritual power within her had been completely transformed into a chilling energy, totally out of her control.


    Or rather, since her abduction, Luo Yixuan still possessed her own consciousness, but both her spiritual power and physical body had been restrained and controlled by restrictions placed by the old hag.


    Over these years, she was like a doll with self-awareness, but unable to resist.


    At the last moments of her life, all the strength and facade within Luo Yixuan¡¯s heart were shattered by the overwhelming fear surging forth.


    The fear of death, the fear of consciousness dissipating, made it impossible for her to control her innate fear.


    Master, please come save me¡­


    Tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks, her lips trembling slightly, but she was unable to make any sound.


    Footsteps approached from afar, reaching her ears, and Luo Yixuan felt utterly hopeless.


    ¡°Now that you¡¯re awake, why are your eyes still closed? Is the sunlight too harsh, and you can¡¯t open your eyes?¡±


    Suddenly, a familiar voice that Luo Yixuan could never forget sounded at her ear.


    A warm hand gently touched her eyes, and a gentle spiritual power formed an invisible barrier before her eyes.


    ¡°There, I¡¯ve set up a pair of Spiritual Power Glasses for you,¡± said Chen Mobai, removing his hand from Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes only to find that his little disciple¡¯s eyes were already brimming with hot tears.


    Once Luo Yixuan adjusted to the dazzling sunlight, she finally saw the outline and facial features of the person before her.


    It was the person she longed for, the only one she could hope for in the endless darkness!


    ¡°Xuan, I¡¯m sorry your teacher took so long to save you!¡±


    When those words, tinged with a faint guilt but filled with tenderness, entered her ears, the utter fear in Luo Yixuan¡¯s heart vanished, leaving only joy and happiness.


    Tears flowed more violently than before, and amid her sobs, all the emotions she had suppressed deep within her heart for who knows how long burst forth!


    Wuu wuu wuu!


    Although she still couldn¡¯t speak, move, and could only cry, for the first time in her life, Luo Yixuan cried with joy.


    ¡°Alright, alright, you¡¯re not a child anymore, why do you just know to cry¡­¡± Chen Mobai was a bit at a loss. The last time he saw a girl crying, it seemed to be Qing Nu.


    How had he handled that again?


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and felt it might be inappropriate for a teacher to hold his disciple, but seeing Luo Yixuan¡¯s unceasing tears, he hesitated and then extended his right hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay now, it¡¯s okay¡­¡±


    He placed his hand on his little disciple¡¯s head, comforting her as if she were his crybaby cousin Wang Xinying, gently stroking her hair back and forth.


    After who knows how long, Luo Yixuan¡¯s emotions finally calmed down, her weeping softened to gentle sobs.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t Xuan move?¡±


    It was then that Chen Mobai also noticed something was amiss with Luo Yixuan¡¯s body condition.


    The abundance of Huangquan Yin Qi on her body meant he dared not probe into her body with his Pure Yang Spiritual Power to investigate.

    Elder Ming: ¡°Report to the Saint Child, that¡¯s how it is. She has consumed the Huangquan Holy Fruit crystallized from my Soul Spirit, and she is almost a completely formed Ghost Fetus in the Womb, filled with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power. Only the final crystallization and triggering of a qualitative change are needed for her to condense a Ghost Pill.¡±


    Elder Ming: ¡°But this power is not something a simple Early Foundation Stage Cultivator like her can wield, so instead her Divine Sense is trapped by the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, rendering her immobile.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°You performed the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld on her!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai glared murderously at the Soul Nourishing Wood inhabited by Elder Ming, who immediately retracted her silvery shadow.


    Elder Ming: ¡°Holy Sovereign, we have established a Dao Heart contract!¡±

 Chapter 1035 - Chapter 1035 Chapter 567 The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign_2

    Chapter 1035: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 Chapter 1035: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 Fearing that Chen Mobai would lose his rationality in a fit of rage, Elder Ming promptly opened her mouth to remind him.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai could only let out a cold snort, grasping the Soul Nourishing Wood in his palm and beginning to inquire about a solution.


    ¡°Saint Heir, having taken three Huangquan Holy Fruits, the Ghost Fetus in the Womb is almost irreversible. But this isn¡¯t necessarily a bad thing. As long as you let me enter her divine sense to take control and ensure that the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within her forms a core, she would reach the topmost realm in the Eastern Wilderness, a state that countless cultivators dream of¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up, my disciple will succeed in core formation without resorting to these crooked and evil paths!¡±


    Chen Mobai said earnestly, speaking what was in his heart out of urgency.


    ¡°Yes, yes, Saint Heir¡­¡±


    Elder Ming agreed outwardly but inwardly she felt that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s fate couldn¡¯t possibly be so good that, besides you, the Saint Heir, there would be a second genius capable of cultivating to the Golden Core Realm.


    ¡°There has never been a cultivation technique or secret method without flaws in this world. The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld must have a way to reverse it. You¡¯d better think carefully, or although I can¡¯t kill you, letting you experience the Pure Yang Fire again wouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai, for the sake of his disciple, could not but threaten Elder Ming.


    ¡°Saint Heir, there are indeed three methods but¡­¡±


    ¡°Speak!¡±


    With a gloomy voice and under the constraint of the contract, Elder Ming could only reveal what she knew.


    ¡°In Kong Sang Valley of the East Barbarians, there grows a Spirit Plant known as ¡®Pure Bamboo¡¯, which contains natural Pure Qi capable of suppressing the transformations of the Ghost Fetus.¡±


    ¡°Then, there is the Three Lights Divine Water from the Star Heaven Dao Sect of East Yu, which is the method of addressing the root cause. The Saint Heir could use the Alchemy Demon True Fire to incinerate her flesh that has already transformed into a Ghost Fetus and then guide her to recall her original body, to reconstruct it with the Three Lights Divine Water. But this requires her own divine sense to be strong enough to control the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, there is the ¡®Netherworld Scripture¡¯ in the demon sects, a method for cultivating Yellow Springs Spiritual Power in a human body. If she could get her hands on this and switch to cultivating the Demon Path, with the foundation laid by my three Huangquan Holy Fruits, her achievements would be unlimited, and at the very least, she would be able to cultivate to Perfect Core Formation.¡±


    After Elder Ming finished speaking, Chen Mobai fell silent.


    The simplest of these was naturally the first one.


    If he remembered correctly, the gift he had given Yin Qingmei when she was at the Foundation Establishment stage was a stalk of Pure Bamboo.


    After so many years, he wondered how well she had taken care of it?


    But even if it had died, Chen Mobai could have Chu Zuoshu help purchase one in the East Barbarians.


    This could only provide symptomatic treatment, however.


    The other two methods, addressing the root cause, seemed unthinkable. The Three Lights Divine Water was a supreme Spiritual Object even sought after by the Eastern Earth Holy Land.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s relationship with Yu Shuji was decent and he had a third-rank inner core that the other desired, such treasures were coveted by the latter and would hardly end up in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai felt that the cultivation method of the Demon Path might actually be the best option.


    Having grown up in the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai had no distinction between the righteous path and the demon path.


    If used rightly, it is righteous; if used evilly, it is evil!


    This was what the Immortal Gate preached every day.


    Haven¡¯t you seen how the Huntuanyuanjing Method of the Antiquity Daoist System¡¯s Ruyi Gate, became an environmental protection magic in the hands of the Immortal Gate for dealing with all sorts of rubbish and waste materials?


    ¡°Do you have the ¡®Netherworld Scripture¡¯?¡±


    Elder Ming immediately shook her head. Just as Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed, preparing to go back and think of another solution, she opened her mouth to provide another clue.


    ¡°Tu Daohua, who lives in seclusion in Yun Meng Ze, is a Ghost-route Demon Cultivator. He disclosed about the ¡®Netherworld Scripture¡¯ to me during our exchange. If the Saint Heir really wishes to obtain the Netherworld Scripture, you could seek him out.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai finally realized the benefit of the contract he had signed with Elder Ming.


    At least she couldn¡¯t hide anything he wanted to know.


    ¡°You know where he is in hiding, right?¡±


    ¡°I sought him out once, ten years ago. He is cautious and often changes places; I don¡¯t know if he is still on the same island now.¡±


    ¡°After my visit to Five Elements Sect ends, I¡¯ll be leaving Rain Country. I might as well take a detour to Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    Chen Mobai made his decision within a few brief words.


    ¡°Yes, Saint Heir!¡±


    Elder Ming finally sighed in relief upon hearing this.


    She was genuinely worried that Chen Mobai would vent his anger on her after learning Luo Yixuan had been transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb.


    However, she was somewhat surprised that Chen Mobai would choose a technique from the Demon Path.


    It seemed that this Saint Heir was someone whose bottom line was flexible. How long would her oath with him, regarding the Dao Heart, last?


    ¡°By the way, how come this Huangquan Holy Fruit looks so much like the fruit of the Longevity Tree?¡±


    Amidst Elder Ming¡¯s worries, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of this and asked.


    ¡°Oh, does the Saint Heir not know? The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld was founded by the Heavenly Sovereign.¡±


    ¡°Really? Is that so? Tell me more!¡±


    Chen Mobai had suspected that the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld bore a resemblance to the Longevity Sect, but at that time, his cultivation was too low, and he thought it was just his imagination.


    ¡°The Heavenly Sovereign, known as ¡®Longevity,¡¯ was a Spirit Plant Transformation full of vibrant life in the Tianhe Realm, a naturally born Great Divine Power wielder. But for this reason, achieving Dao Fusion was even more difficult for him than for ordinary cultivators.¡±


    ¡°The Heavenly Sovereign sought the Dao Fusion Method from the Mother of Water, who guided him to enter destruction from life and to control life and death within the cycle of reincarnation, enabling him to take the step toward Dao Fusion.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the Heavenly Sovereign cut off a strand of his divine sense and entered the Netherworld to try the path of Ghost Cultivation. The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld originated from this. However, at that time, only the Holy Sons and Daughters within the sect were qualified to cultivate it and become the Saint Embryo of the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s descent!¡±


    ¡°But we ordinary followers could also benefit from the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s protection, transforming into Ghost Cultivators after death and continue to sing the name of the Heavenly Sovereign in the Nether Huangquan!¡±


    After listening to Elder Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai suddenly fell silent.


    Why did he feel that the Great Dao Tree was still somewhat dangerous?


    ¡°Does Ghost Cultivation offer unlimited lifespan?¡±


    Chen Mobai then pondered this question. Elder Ming¡¯s previous life had disappeared before the Longevity Sect, at least ten thousand years ago, and she had reawakened her memory after becoming a Ghost Cultivator, undoubtedly continuing an existence that should have ended.


    If every cultivator of the Longevity Sect who passed away in meditation became a Ghost Cultivator, then the Nether Huangquan should have been dominated by the Longevity Sect long ago!


    ¡°Saint Heir, although we can become Ghost Cultivators under the protection of the Heavenly Sovereign, those who can awaken their memories are one in ten thousand. Moreover, once awakened, ten thousand years have passed, and the other followers have probably become nourishment for other Ghost Cultivators within the Underworld.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, as Ghost Cultivators, we lose the possibility of reincarnation and rebirth. Once devoured by another Ghost Cultivator, it means the soul is scattered and utterly obliterated. We can only constantly fight and devour one another until the endpoint to make our endless existence meaningful.¡±


    ¡°This is also why we were so eager to escape the Underworld the moment the Yellow Springs Path appeared. Because even though we, as Rank-3 Ghost Cultivators, are powerful in the Eastern Wilderness, in the Underworld, we¡¯re always worried about being discovered and devoured by Rank-4 Ghost Kings.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s words also made Chen Mobai understand the hardships of Ghost Cultivators.


    Indeed, Ghost Cultivators have an endless lifespan, but over ninety-nine percent of them cannot awaken their past memories, and even with innate wisdom, they live in constant fear of being accidentally devoured by higher-ranked Ghost Cultivators.


    Human Cultivators, even in death, still have a chance at reincarnation and might achieve great cultivation in another life, thus transcending the cycle of suffering.


    But Ghost Cultivators don¡¯t have this opportunity.


    Once they die, they¡¯re gone for good!


    No wonder, although the Tianhe Realm has methods for Ghost Cultivation, cultivators generally are hesitant to pursue this path or learn from it.

    The same goes for eternal life as a zombie, it must be for similar reasons.


    Understanding this, Chen Mobai thought it was still better to maintain human cultivation.


    ¡°Mast¡­ Master¡­¡±


    Just then, a faint yet trembling voice came to his ears.


    Turning his head, Chen Mobai saw Luo Yixuan¡¯s lips pale as snow, trembling slightly. She held back her tears, her eyes filled with the excitement and joy of reunion.

 Chapter 1036 - Chapter 1036 Chapter 568 Demonic Qi

    Chapter 1036: Chapter 568 Demonic Qi Chapter 1036: Chapter 568 Demonic Qi Luo Yixuan¡¯s current situation was that her Divine Sense was only at the level of a cultivator who had just achieved Foundation Establishment.


    However, her body was full of Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, reaching the realm necessary for Core Formation.


    Yet these powers did not belong to her and could not be controlled. Her body had also undergone a metamorphosis, after enduring ten years of the cold aura of the Underworld eroding and refining her.


    With the Divine Sense and vital energy not matching, naturally, she could not mobilize spiritual energy.


    But this was also a characteristic of the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld; because when it was time for soul possession, only the physical body and Spiritual Power were needed. The weaker the Divine Sense, the better, making the process of devouring it all the more effortless.


    To solve this problem, aside from Luo Yixuan strengthening her own Divine Sense, the three methods previously mentioned by Elder Ming were also options.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I will take you back to Xiao Nanshan,¡± said Chen Mobai to his little disciple, whom he hadn¡¯t seen for ten years, and then he lowered the curtains of the sedan chair amidst Luo Yixuan¡¯s excited expression.


    This Magic Artifact had the power to isolate Yin from Yang, which could conceal Luo Yixuan¡¯s Yin trait on the Yellow Springs Path, and could also prevent her from being detected by the Heavenly Tribulation in the Living World now that she had transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai glanced again at the portal of the Yellow Springs Path that was slowly closing in the void above the mountain top.


    He thought for a moment, drew a Mysterious Fog Talisman with his hand, and using his Golden Core Stage cultivation level, he could ensure that no mortals would come here for over a decade.


    If there was a chance in the future, he would have to find a way to deal with this Yellow Springs Path as well.


    After completing this task, he activated his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and took away the sedan chair, along with the little disciple inside.


    ¡­


    Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Chen Mobai finally had a face-to-face conversation with Zhou Ye.


    It was still in the pavilion by the lake.


    Zhou Ye scattered bait into the pond, pointing to a tagged Spirit Fish while recounting the incident when Zhao Xuankang had come to visit.


    ¡°Although we¡¯ve gone our separate ways, we are still of the same lineage. Zhao Xuankang asking me to join in the attack on Giant Tree Ridge was indeed a mistake in choosing the person.¡±


    ¡°True Person Zhou is magnanimous. I will mention this to the three elder martial brothers as well,¡± said Chen Mobai, half-believing and half-doubting Zhou Ye¡¯s words. Nevertheless, the fact that Zhou Ye did not participate in the assault with Zhao Xuankang deserved his gratitude.


    ¡°So, what are your plans next?¡± Zhou Ye asked while Green Pearl had already brewed the tea and brought it over to him.


    ¡°If I were to suggest that Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff be reintegrated into the Five Elements Sect, I wonder what True Person Zhou thinks?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the tea but did not drink it; after all, he was just a Puppet. Noticing that Green Pearl was always watching, he said something that made Zhou Ye¡¯s body shake.


    ¡°I am very tempted!¡± After a while, Zhou Ye said, and then he scattered all the bait in his hand into the water, walked to the table, and looked intently at Chen Mobai, ¡°Sect Master Chen, you may state any conditions you have. Let me see if I can fulfill them.¡±


    ¡°If there are cultivation methods for Primordial Dao Fruit, then perhaps I could convince the three elder martial brothers,¡± Chen Mobai said, a statement that made Zhou Ye pause, followed by a cold laugh.


    ¡°Truly, Sect Master Chen lacks sincerity!¡±


    ¡°Oh, and why do you say that?¡±


    ¡°To come see me in the form of a Puppet, Sect Master Chen surely doesn¡¯t think I can¡¯t see through it?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised upon hearing this. The Formless Puppet represented the pinnacle of Immortal Gate Puppetry Technique; camouflaged with the utmost effort using bionics materials, it could simulate all human breathing and movements almost without flaws.


    But Zhou Ye had seen through it, and it seemed he had known from the very beginning.


    Was it the effect of the Primordial True Qi?


    Chen Mobai was uncertain, but faced with such an embarrassing situation of being exposed, he simply smiled and was not the least bit embarrassed.


    ¡°After all, Hunyuan Immortal City is the foremost Immortal City in the Eastern Wasteland. If True Person Zhou harbored any ill intentions towards me, my true body would have no means of resistance upon entering, so I just took a little extra precaution,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    ¡°Chun Yusu reported to me that there was a clash between two Golden Core Cultivators at Guiyuan Mountain, causing a huge commotion and extinguishing the Spirit Mountain Veins. Does Sect Master Chen have anything to do with this?¡±


    Chun Yusu, as the Sect Leader of Five Elements Sect, was flexible in her methods and had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. With her outstanding Earth Spirit Root, she was regarded as the most likely successor to the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Before Chen Mobai, the anomaly, emerged, Chun Yusu was indisputably the number one Sect Leader in the Eastern Wasteland.


    ¡°I had a fight with a Ghost Cultivator and ended up killing her,¡± Chen Mobai admitted straightforwardly since there were only a few Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland, and the traces of his greatly achieved Red Flame Sword Jue were so obvious.


    Zhou Ye¡¯s pupils contracted upon hearing this.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You won?¡±


    Zhou Ye was well aware of the presence of a Ghost Cultivator like Elder Ming, who lurked around the core of Five Elements Sect¨Che had a talisman left by Ancestor Hunyuan that could sense the Yellow Springs Path.


    But the fact that he was so shocked was precisely because he was aware of her. He had once crossed hands with Elder Ming when he had just perfected his Primordial True Qi, believing himself to be invincible in the Golden Core Realm of the Eastern Wasteland.


    To his surprise, he was driven out of Guiyuan Mountain, and if it were not for a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon left by Ancestor Hunyuan that he possessed, he might not have been able to retreat in one piece.


    ¡°That Ghost Cultivator was quite strong, possessing a Fourth-grade offensive Magical Weapon. Unfortunately, she was still not quite a match for me. It¡¯s just that when I killed her, I had to go all out, which caused quite a stir. I apologize for any trouble this has caused your sect,¡± explained Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 1037 - Chapter 1037 Chapter 568 Demonic Qi_2

    Chapter 1037: Chapter 568 Demonic Qi_2 Chapter 1037: Chapter 568 Demonic Qi_2 Chen Mobai¡¯s words rendered Zhou Ye silent.


    Green Pearl, who was clear about the initial exchange between him and Elder Ming, now widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the calm and composed Chen Mobai.


    Could this guy really have just achieved Core Formation?


    Could he be bluffing!


    ¡°Sect Master Chen has eliminated a calamity for our Five Elements Sect; I am extremely grateful,¡± Zhou Ye finally spoke. After receiving the news, he personally visited Guiyuan Mountain and used his Primordial True Qi to sense the remnants of the two strands of Core Formation Spiritual Power.


    He confirmed one of them was indeed the powerful Ghost Cultivator whom even he had to pretend not to know, while the other was as intense and fervent as the rising sun.


    The Spiritual Power simulated by Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet was the grand achievement of the Red Flame Sword Art, different from the Pure Yang Spiritual Power mixed within Guiyuan Mountain.


    That was precisely why Zhou Ye spotted a flaw and, upon probing, discovered this was merely a puppet.


    Comparing himself, Zhou Ye confirmed the reputation of Chen Mobai, the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, knowing the alliance between the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff had surpassed the Five Elements Sect, becoming the premier force in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although discontented, Zhou Ye had achieved his current status precisely by seizing the opportunity and following the larger trend.


    ¡°However, regarding the Technique of Chaotic Dao Fruit, I swore an oath before my master that I would only impart it to the direct lineage of the Five Elements Sect, so I truly cannot agree to your request.¡±


    After a tactful refusal, Zhou Ye picked up the cup of tea offered by Green Pearl and took a small sip.


    ¡°If the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff return, wouldn¡¯t my three senior brothers and I be the direct disciples of the Five Elements Sect?¡± Chen Mobai spoke again.


    This, too, was a fact; after all, Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang were direct disciples of Ancestor Hunyuan, as legitimate as it gets.


    If Zhou Ye was willing to pass on the Technique of Chaotic Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t mind paying respects to the tablet of Ancestor Hunyuan and acknowledging him as a master.


    ¡°Let us not discuss this matter further.¡±


    But Zhou Ye was very decisive about the Technique of Chaotic Dao Fruit,


    exactly like the cultivators of Tianhe Realm in Chen Mobai¡¯s knowledge.


    Valuing the transmission of cultivation techniques even above their own lives.


    ¡°It seems, True Person Zhou, that you are fully confident about your ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.¡¯


    Chen Mobai asked again, which somewhat puzzled Zhou Ye.


    ¡°What do you mean by this, Sect Master Chen?¡±


    ¡°The practice of Chaotic Dao Fruit, if one relies on cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Power on their own and unifying them, the emergence of Nascent Soul upon the Pill¡¯s breakage is naturally without question. Seeing True Person Zhou¡¯s firm refusal of our two veins¡¯ return to the Five Elements Sect, it seems you don¡¯t need us to provide Wood Vein and Metal Vein Spiritual Power to cultivate the Dao Fruit.¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s pupils suddenly dilated at Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°What you mean is¡­¡±


    ¡°These fish are nice; could you give me a few?¡±


    After planting a seed in Zhou Ye¡¯s heart, Chen Mobai abruptly changed the subject, pointing at the myriad of colorful fish, shimmering with various Spiritual Lights in the pond.


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen likes them, you may take them. Green Pearl, go fetch a tank.¡±


    Upon leaving, Chen Mobai joyfully passed the large fish tank he held to Mu Yuan, who was waiting at the door.


    Inside were five fish of different colors.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, these are Muscle Fish¡­¡±


    The next day, when Chen Mobai left Hunyuan Immortal City with Mu Yuan and Gu Yan, Zhou Ye actually came to see them off specially.


    He shared with Chen Mobai the secrets and methods of breeding such Spirit Fish.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, this was also an invaluable legacy.


    Hearing this, Chun Yusu of the Five Elements Sect, who accompanied the farewell, was about to speak but then hesitated. Considering the two were Golden Core Cultivators, he ultimately chose to keep quiet.


    [Sect Master Chen, if you can bring back the Wood Vein and Metal Vein to the Five Elements Sect, helping me cultivate the Chaotic Dao Fruit, once I achieve Nascent Soul Formation, you will be the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, second only to me. The Chaotic Dao Fruit left by the Master, and my own insight into the Dao Fruit¨CI am willing to teach you all of it!]


    In the dark of night, Zhou Ye, who had pondered all evening, used the technique of sound transmission to convey his decision to Chen Mobai.


    In the end, human selfishness had overcome all else.


    Once he had achieved the Primordial Dao Fruit, there would be no risks in breaking through to Nascent Soul Formation.


    Zhou Ye¡¯s lifelong pursuit was to return to Dongwu and uproot the Sun family, which had annihilated his own clan.


    However, to accomplish this, he would need to attain the realm of Nascent Soul Formation.


    After all, even with Sun Huangwu dead, the Sun family remains a royal family of Dongwu, boasting six Golden Core Cultivators.


    They controlled the other half of Yun Meng Ze.


    Compared to his own bright future, sharing the Primordial Dao Fruit was not impossible!


    After all, Chen Mobai made a sound argument, the Wood Vein and Metal Vein are rightfully the orthodox branches of the Five Elements Sect, sharing with him was not a breach of doctrine.


    [Very well, I will go back and discuss it with my three senior brothers.]


    Having left this message, Chen Mobai laughed heartily and turned to leave.


    His purpose for visiting the East Wilderness Major Sect as the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect had been perfectly achieved.


    He had found Luo Yixuan, his little disciple who had been missing for ten years, and had steadied Zhou Ye of the Five Elements Sect, making him hopeful for the unification of the five veins and the cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit by the joint effort of Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    As long as the Five Elements Sect stayed out of trouble, then Chen Mobai could concentrate the forces of the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff on striking against Snow-blowing Palace, Back to Sky Valley, and Nanxuan Sect.


    After taking over the territories of these three sects, he could launch an assault on Hunyuan Immortal City and fulfill his grand ambition of unifying the Eastern Wilderness.


    The only doubt left was whether to pretend to lead the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff back to the Five Elements Sect before taking over Hunyuan Immortal City, in order to deceive the Primordial Dao Fruit from Zhou Ye.


    But on second thought, Zhou Ye would certainly require Chen Mobai and the others to sign a meticulous and detailed Dao Heart contract before handing over the Primordial Dao Fruit, to ensure their full commitment to helping him achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit and even Nascent Soul Formation.


    Better to take the city by genuine force, to avoid outsmarting himself and truly enabling Zhou Ye to succeed.


    With hopes for the Primordial Dao Fruit and Nascent Soul Formation, Zhou Ye even personally took the trouble to escort Chen Mobai to the Teleportation Array at the foothill outside the Immortal City.


    At their farewell, there was even a hint of reluctance to part.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, do visit us when you have the time¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and nodded, then disappeared into the Teleportation Array.


    By previous arrangement, all members of the Divine Wood Sect were to gather at Liu Hua Market in Rain Country.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai¡¯s true body had already taken Luo Yixuan and headed toward the sect in advance.


    After all, the fewer people who knew about the disciple being transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb, the better.


    Since they couldn¡¯t use the Teleportation Array, although Liu Wenbo, his senior disciple, was willing to exert himself like a servant, Chen Mobai decided it was better to make the effort himself and personally make the trip.


    He couldn¡¯t let anything happen to his long-lost little disciple again.


    What if the Yin Qi of the Yellow Springs leaked during the journey, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation? With Liu Wenbo¡¯s mere Foundation Establishment, he would undoubtedly be unable to handle such a situation.


    Apart from being detected by Zhou Ye, none of the other members of the Divine Wood Sect had noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet.


    Thus, Chen Mobai¡¯s real body returned to the Divine Wood Sect with Luo Yixuan, while the puppet body continued to lead the Foundation Establishment practitioners and true disciples in overseeing the territories of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The town guard of Rain Country was Hong He, who had long been waiting in Liu Hua Market with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the little third hall and the leaders of the local cultivator families.


    After emerging from the Teleportation Array and nodding to the gathered crowd, Chen Mobai called Hong He to his side to inquire about Rain Country¡¯s culture, local Spirit Plants, Spirit Beasts, veins, and other matters related to earning Spirit Stones.


    Soon, they arrived at the largest and most central shop in the market, which was Hong He¡¯s office.

    Chen Mobai had just settled down inside when Gu Yan came in with a female Foundation Establishment Practitioner who appeared to be around fifty years old.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is the Great Elder of our Gu family¡­¡±


    After getting acquainted with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the native cultivator families of Rain Country, Chen Mobai finally kept Hong He behind and gave him guidance on cultivation.


    After all, as a rare Nascent Soul seed in the sect, a little extra care was needed.


    ¡°Saint Heir, there is Demonic Qi within this man¡­¡±

 Chapter 1038 - Chapter 1038 569

    Chapter 1038: 569 Chapter 1038: 569 Chen Mobai, after hearing Elder Ming¡¯s transmitted message, inadvertently paused while giving instructions to Hong He.


    ¡°I just remembered something, you may go now.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Although Hong He was a bit surprised, he still nodded respectfully and turned to leave.


    ¡°What is the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the Soul Nourishing Wood, and the silvery-grey silhouette emerged, relaying its findings.


    ¡°Report to the Saint Child, his spiritual power is mottled and complex. Besides the water elemental energy that serves as its main component, the rest is due to the absorption and refining of other cultivation¡¯s spiritual power through demonic cultivation techniques.¡±


    After hearing Elder Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai remembered that when he was deducing the Core Formation process for Hong He, he noticed some issues with his spiritual power.


    He had always assumed it was due to excessive consumption of elixirs.


    ¡°Are you sure there¡¯s no mistake?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat incredulous, asking again carefully.


    ¡°Saint Child, the source of this demonic cultivation technique is the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture from one of our five scriptures. With the betrayal of the second-generation Saint Heir, he modified it into the Nine Abysses and Nine Dark Sea-devouring Cultivation Technique¡­¡±


    This was also a very famous event in ancient times for the Longevity Sect. The Saint Heir that defected later combined demonic way secret methods with the teachings he took with him, achieving quick perfection and proclaiming himself the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch.


    His cultivation level was so high that not even the Heavenly Sovereign could deal with him.


    After the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch attained perfection in his cultivation, he founded the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, which specifically opposed the Longevity Sect.


    At that time, Elder Ming, vying for the position of Saintess, often engaged in magical duels with members of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, hunting each other for merit.


    Thus, the presence of the Sea-devouring Demonic Art on Hong He could not be concealed from her.


    ¡°The Jiutian Dangmo Sect?¡±


    After his Core Formation, Chen Mobai had thoroughly researched the Six Domains of the Eastern Land. However, the data on the Eastern Li Region, which is the most mysterious and desolate part, was scarce.


    It was only known that eighteen sects of the demon path had left their legacies there, but among them, the name of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was not listed.


    ¡°Saint Child, when I was in contact with Tu Daohua, I asked him about this issue.¡±


    ¡°After the disappearance of the Longevity Sect, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect gradually fell into obscurity.¡±


    ¡°However, most of their complete inheritances were preserved. Some were absorbed by the Eighteen Demon Sects, and some joined the Eastern Emperor Court, becoming part of the Hall of Ten Directions ¨C the Submerged Abyss Island.¡±


    After hearing Elder Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt it was somewhat excessive to label the Jiutian Dangmo Sect as a demonic sect.


    After all, he knew the backstory of the Longevity Sect; the Saint Heir probably defected upon discovering this, merely to save his own life.


    This implied that Hong He might have unwittingly obtained a portion of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s or Submerged Abyss Island¡¯s cultivation inheritance.


    And to Elder Ming, this was indeed a demonic cultivation technique.


    ¡°Tell me about this ¡®Nine Abysses and Nine Dark Sea-devouring Cultivation Technique¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to fully understand the matter before making a judgment.


    ¡°Saint Child, the distinctive feature of the Sea-devouring Cultivation is its ability to absorb the spiritual power of the same cultivation technique and use it for oneself, so practitioners often focus on very common and widely practiced Qi Cultivation techniques, allowing for more options to consume.¡±


    ¡°Initially, the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch was able to perfect his cultivation so quickly because he constantly hunted down sect members who practiced the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.¡±


    ¡°And while escaping from the sect with bounty hunters on his trail, the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch even absorbed the spiritual power of the sect¡¯s Abyss Sea True Monarch, afterward, his demonic cultivation became perfect, and he became unstoppable.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s explanation made Chen Mobai think of the elemental theory practiced by the Immortal Gates.


    Whereas the Immortal Gates developed the Five Elements Essence by utilizing this principle to artificially synthesize various types of Earthly Fiendish Qi,


    The Sea-devouring Cultivation undoubtedly evolved from the recognition that it¡¯s easier to merge similar energies.


    From the perspective of cultivating through the absorption of other cultivators¡¯ spiritual power, it can indeed be considered a demonic art.


    Hong He, as a disciple of Fu Zongjue, had consistently practiced the unremarkable Azure Waves Cultivation, a Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, further corroborating this point.


    Chen Mobai thought back to when he had felt Hong He¡¯s pulse; the mottled and complex spiritual power was indeed identical to the description of the Sea-devouring Cultivation.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, the theoretical foundation of the cultivation techniques could not possibly be as comprehensive as at the Immortal Gates¡¯, causing this type of mottled spiritual energy and instability at the foundation while practicing this Sea-devouring Cultivation.


    If Hong He were to form his core in the future, it is likely he would be obstructed by this spiritual energy issue.


    Chen Mobai wanted to summon Hong He for a direct inquiry. However, given Tianhe Realm¡¯s stance on demonic arts, it was better for him, as the Sect Leader, to feign ignorance.


    This way, even if it was exposed in the future, it would just seem like the sect had produced an unrighteous disciple, not that the entire sect was a remnant of the demon path.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, within the Eastern Land, there exists the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, a holy land known for its strong animosity towards devil cultivators.


    If signs of demonic practice are found, simply reporting them to the sect would generally prompt them to send someone to investigate.


    And with the God-Transcending cultivator, Profound Heaven True Monarch, revered as the foremost person in the Eastern Land, even in the remote Barren East, major powers and families keep their distance from devil cultivators.


    After pondering for a while, Chen Mobai still decided to pretend to be unaware, since Luo Yixuan might also potentially practice demonic cultivation in the future.


    Nevertheless, he felt it was important to keep a close watch on Hong He. If he truly absorbed spiritual power from other cultivators through demonic art for his own use, it would be better to find an excuse for him to leave the Divine Wood Sect in the future.

 Chapter 1039 - Chapter 1039 Chapter 569_2

    Chapter 1039: Chapter 569_2 Chapter 1039: Chapter 569_2 Chen Mobai pondered who would be the most suitable to handle this matter.


    After all, Hong He¡¯s cultivation level was already at the Foundation Establishment Late Phase, and he cultivated all three major cultivation techniques of Essence, Qi, and Spirit without any weaknesses.


    If he took action himself, there would undoubtedly be no problem.


    But Hong He clearly wouldn¡¯t dare to use Demonic Cultivation while he, the Sect Leader, was still in the Rain Country.


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want to delay his Formless Puppet here with this kind of task since it related to the more important aspect of two-realm transportation.


    In that case, he could only choose from the several people he had brought with him this time.


    After carefully considering each person, Chen Mobai found the most suitable one.


    ¡°Sect Leader!¡±


    Gu Yan was somewhat surprised to be summoned by Chen Mobai and hurriedly came to pay his respects.


    ¡°Rise. I heard you say before that your Gu family has opened up eight hundred mu of Spirit Fields in Yun Country, planting Crystalized Rice of all three grades¨Clower, intermediate, and upper-grade Rank-1¨Cand you are the largest local supplier of Spiritual Rice.¡±


    ¡°In fact, there are only seven hundred and sixty-eight mu of Spirit Fields. Five hundred and twenty mu are lower-grade Rank-1 Spirit Fields, one hundred and eighty mu are intermediate-grade Rank-1, and fifty mu are upper-grade Rank-1. There are also eighteen mu of Rank-2 Spirit Fields.¡±


    Although Gu Yan didn¡¯t understand the reason for Chen Mobai¡¯s question, he still detailed the scale of his family¡¯s Spirit Fields, including which were used for planting Spiritual Rice, which for growing herbs, as well as the yield and selling price of Crystalized Rice, leaving nothing out¡­


    ¡°I have a type of Rank-2 Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice that I inadvertently cultivated while experimenting in the Small Southern Mountain Spirit Fields. It can mature in six years. However, because it¡¯s more profitable for the Sect to plant Green Jade Spirit Rice, the method of cultivating this Spirit Rice has been kept secret.¡±


    ¡°This Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice requires a high level of water, and the Rain Country is conveniently located near Yun Meng Ze, with abundant rainfall all year round. If your Gu family is willing to upgrade the Spirit Fields a bit and open up about fifty mu of Rank-2 Spirit Fields, I can exclusively pass on the cultivation method of this Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice to you.¡±


    ¡°After the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice matures, since it is carried by Spiritual Bamboo, it can yield two hundred catties per mu. I will have Ming¡¯er provide the seeds for you. However, after the harvest, seventy percent will belong to the Sect, and thirty percent to your family.¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought of this after seeing the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice. He had many Zhuo Ming Hybrid Spirit Rice that were accidental outcomes from his experiments, among which quite a few were suitable for mass planting.


    The Eastern Wilderness is rich in Spirit Vein resources, many of which have not even been developed. Chen Mobai was deeply pained seeing this.


    However, with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s power alone, it was definitely impossible to cultivate all the Spirit Fields in the Eastern Wilderness, so cooperating with local powers was the easiest method.


    Previously, during his Core Formation ceremony, he had mentioned this matter in passing while the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from various cultivator families under his command were present.


    Unfortunately, at that time, the shadow of the Divine Wood Sect and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still lingered, so most people chose to wait and see.


    But recently, after Zhou Shengqing emerged from seclusion and slew Zhao Xuankang and others post-Core Formation, the most opportunistic cultivator families in the Eastern Wilderness began to regret their decision.


    Because the Liu family from Yun Country, through their connection with Liu Wenbo, got the best seeds provided by Zhuo Ming, and the Divine Wood Sect, in the spirit of getting a good horse by paying generously, only took a fifty percent cut.


    Now, the Liu family has made a fortune through the cultivation of Spiritual Rice.


    What¡¯s more critical is that Chen Mobai has established a new policy: the Spiritual Rice taken by the Divine Wood Sect from the families below is partly converted into contribution points given back to the Liu family, allowing Patriarch Liu to exchange them for items that the Divine Wood Sect normally sells internally only.


    Such items could include elixirs suitable for Foundation Establishment Practitioners to improve their cultivation level, among others.


    Recently, Chen Mobai also heard from Liu Wenbo that Liu Jingxian planned to fill in the family¡¯s ancestral pond and convert it from fish farming to Spirit Plant cultivation, enlarging and strengthening their Spiritual Rice enterprise.


    On the other hand, the Rain Country¡¯s previous distance from Giant Tree Ridge made them less reverent towards the Divine Wood Sect, and not a single family chose to accept the Sect¡¯s Spiritual Rice seeds during the Core Formation ceremony.


    So, after Chen Mobai finished his tour of the Eastern Wilderness, he chose Rain Country as the first stop of his internal Sect inspection, making the five major cultivator families there very nervous.


    After all, Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as a godslayer was well-known throughout the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he truly found them displeasing, he alone could annihilate all five of their families.


    There was no need for Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, to take action himself; the small team of Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect that he brought along, along with Red River, were fully capable of handling the matter.


    Therefore, the five major families of the Rain Country were also frantically seeking connections recently to see if they could find out whether Chen Mobai came to Rain Country with lethal intentions or not.


    In this regard, Gu Yan, who was considered a close confidante of Sect Master Chen, naturally became the Rain Country¡¯s lifesaver.


    It was just a pity that Gu Yan also had her own difficulties to bear.


    The relationship between her and Chen Mobai was merely that of employer and employee. On regular days, Sect Master Chen was either dealing with sect affairs in Shenmu Hall or retreating in his sealed wooden hut, barely speaking to her.


    Outsiders all thought she could come and go freely in Sect Master Chen¡¯s retreat, the Longevity Wood Dojo, and considered her a trusted confidante.


    But in reality, Gu Yan felt that in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, she was no different from any other Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the sect.


    However, her family had raised her after all, and the majority of resources for her Foundation Establishment in the Divine Wood Sect came from her family. Therefore, she could ignore the entreaties of the other four major families of Rain Country, but she had no choice but to come up with a way to deal with her own family.


    Just as Gu Yan was bracing herself to approach Chen Mobai about this matter, the latter took the initiative to summon her.


    Rank-2 Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice, Gu Yan was aware of this, after all, she had a good relationship with Zhuo Ming.


    But her dream was just to acquire for her family a variety of Rank-1 intermediate-grade Spiritual Rice seed.


    Little did she know that fortune would fall from the sky, and Chen Mobai actually gave her this exceedingly precious Rank-2 Spiritual Rice directly.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡¯s gracious gift, I will never forget for the rest of my life,¡±


    Overwhelmed with excitement, Gu Yan gave a deep bow to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You have worked so hard in extracting the Everlife Wood sap for me; although there¡¯s no contribution, there¡¯s effort, and I keep it all in my heart,¡± Chen Mobai said with a faint smile, gesturing for Gu Yan to rise, and then recited the cultivation method for the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    After hearing it, Gu Yan immediately made a Dao Heart oath, promising not to teach this information to a second person, not even to someone from the Gu family.


    With the cultivation method for Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice in hand, Gu Yan saw the hope of further advancing her cultivation level in the future and was very excited.


    ¡°Before planting this Spiritual Rice, we need to improve the soil of the Spirit Field to make it suitable for the growth of Phoenix Tear Bamboo. You don¡¯t have to come back with me; stay in Rain Country for now and attend to this matter,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Gu Yan pondered for a moment. The method of improving the Spirit Field was also part of what Chen Mobai taught her. She solemnly nodded her head, determined to handle this matter well.


    Perhaps she could also catch the eye of the Sect Leader and become a disciple of the Small Southern Mountain.


    After all, Sect Leader Chen¡¯s junior disciple had been missing for some time now, and he lacked people to care for him. Gu Yan harbored significant ambition for this position.


    ¡°In addition to this task, I actually have another matter for you to attend to,¡± Chen Mobai added.

    ¡°Please instruct me, Sect Leader!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Gu Yan¡¯s spirits soared even higher. Had she finally become the confidante of the Sect Leader?


    ¡°Red River may have practiced Demonic Cultivation¨CI cannot stay here, so I¡¯m leaving you behind under the pretext of the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice. When you are improving the Spirit Field and planting the Spiritual Bamboo, I will have Red River inspect your Gu family under the pretense of sect supervision. During his visits, observe him¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai laid out the task he wanted Gu Yan to undertake in full detail, and upon hearing this, she showed a look of astonishment and bewilderment.


    ¡°Whether you accept this task is entirely up to you. If you¡¯re unhappy with it, just consider it¡±


    But it was only a matter of two breaths¡¯ time, ¡°Whether you accept this task is entirely up to you. If you¡¯re unhappy with it, just consider it¡±

 Chapter 1040 - Chapter 1040 Chapter 570 The Nu Jiang Water Vein

    Chapter 1040: Chapter 570: The Nu Jiang Water Vein Chapter 1040: Chapter 570: The Nu Jiang Water Vein Gu Yan was well aware that by accepting this mission, she would leap from an ordinary sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioner to become a confidant of the Sect Leader.


    Although monitoring Hong He was extremely dangerous, Gu Yan did not hesitate at all.


    Because if it were up to her alone, even with the full support of the Gu family from Rain Country, she would not have the opportunity for Core Formation.


    If Gu Yan had not completed the Foundation Establishment, she naturally would not have aspired to Core Formation.


    But she had succeeded and even had the chance to refine Longevity Tree Sap within the Divine Tree Secret Realm. She felt that with the support of the Sect Leader, it was possible to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Completion and attempt Core Formation.


    So she mustered her courage and sought ways to become Chen Mobai¡¯s confidant, ideally gaining apprenticeship under Xiao Nanshan.


    And now, the opportunity lay before her.


    The next day, Chen Mobai took Gu Yan to the ancestral land of the Gu family. The old ancestor of the Gu family, Gu Shuting, had already led all the family elders and cultivators to welcome them ten miles away.


    As the Town Guard of Hong He in Rain Country, Chen Mobai did not keep him in the dark, after all, he would nominally replace the sect in overseeing the Gu family¡¯s harvest in the future.


    The local five major cultivator families were deeply intertwined with marriages and alliances to improve bloodlines and Spiritual Roots. Upon hearing that Chen Mobai himself had gone to the Gu family, they immediately came over, using the pretext of visiting ancestor Gu Shuting.


    Chen Mobai genuinely loved farming and did not hide it in front of Hong He. After inspecting the Gu family¡¯s Spirit Field, he simulated a three-dimensional pattern in his mind, then took out paper and pencil and drew a plan for the Spirit Field upgrade on the spot¡­


    ¡°Rest assured, Sect Master Chen, our Gu family will definitely complete the Spirit Field upgrade and strive to meet the requirements for planting Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice as soon as possible,¡±


    Old ancestor Gu Shuting said excitedly. The opportunity to obtain Rank-2 Spirit Rice seeds was unprecedented in all of Rain Country.


    She also needed to purchase Rank-2 Spirit Rice from the Commerce Association every year to maintain her Vital Essence and to improve. She was very clear about the rarity of Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    It is known that previously, even the Divine Wood Sect did not have enough yield to supply their Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    ¡°Nephew Hong He, you will sign this agreement with the Gu family. After all, in the future, the sect will need you to carry out this task on behalf of the sect in Rain Country,¡± said Chen Mobai, giving a substantial reason to Gu Yan and having Hong He sign the contract with the Gu family on behalf of the Divine Wood Sect for the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Though surprised, Hong He just thought the sect trusted him and had no doubts, and he signed immediately.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, our Ding family also has quite a few Spirit Fields¡­¡±


    While the agreement was being signed, the Foundation Establishment practitioners from the other four major cultivator families couldn¡¯t help but approach Chen Mobai, hoping to get the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spiritual Rice seeds as well.


    ¡°You can discuss this matter with nephew Hong He; just use the Gu family as the standard,¡± said Chen Mobai. As the Sect Leader, he naturally could not handle all matters personally. It was perfect that Hong He had already set up a small system of Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the sect with the help of the Penalty Evil Hall in Rain Country, so this could be their task.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I will stay behind to help the family with the Spirit Field upgrade,¡± said Gu Yan, seizing the opportunity to request.


    Chen Mobai naturally nodded and agreed. He even called Hong He over, instructing him to take good care of Gu Yan.


    In an instant, everyone looked at Gu Yan with a mix of unusual yet respectful gazes.


    This person indeed was the heart and soul of Sect Master Chen.


    It seemed that the Gu family¡¯s acquisition of Rank-2 Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice was all thanks to her.


    With this thought, the other four major cultivator families in Rain Country began considering which of their talented and ideally beautiful young female descendants to send to the Divine Wood Sect at the next grand opening.


    It was just a pity that they hadn¡¯t sent a relative to be apprenticed to him before Sect Master Chen¡¯s Core Formation.


    While the local cultivator families of Rain Country were thinking of sending their descendants into the Divine Wood Sect and were surrounding Gu Yan, hoping to learn about the direction of upgrading the Spirit Fields.


    Chen Mobai had already led the people of the Divine Wood Sect away.


    ¡°Nephew Hong He, Rain Country borders the Five Elements Sect and is next to Yun Meng Ze. The responsibility of town guard is significant, and your efforts are much appreciated,¡± said Chen Mobai before boarding the Teleportation Array to leave, in a voice full of earnestness.


    ¡°It is my duty to perform,¡± replied Hong He.


    ¡°Hmm, with the resources of the sect and your merits, there will be no problem in supporting your Core Formation. Just cultivate steadily and methodically, remember not to be impatient for success and overreach, lest your foundation become unstable,¡± said Chen Mobai, unable to refrain from giving advice. Hong He seemed moved, yet as if he had not noticed, he simply nodded.


    After Rain Country, it was Yun Country.


    This place was also considered Chen Mobai¡¯s Land of Dragon Prosperity.


    It was here that he was brought by Turtle Treasure to a Water Mansion and began his meteoric rise.


    After stepping out from the familiar Teleportation Array at Southstream Market, Chen Mobai was filled with emotion. He exchanged a few words with Yun Country¡¯s Town Guard Dong Xuanze, then left the crowd behind, heading alone towards the Water Mansion.

    ¡°Eh!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai flew over the Water Mansion, he noticed something amiss.


    The Formation here had been broken, and there was an unabashed presence of a Golden Core Cultivator inside.


    Chen Mobai, after all, was a Formless Puppet, so he flew down without any fear.


    Inside the Water Mansion, a tall male cultivator with an elegant figure like a floating Narcissus was standing in the hub, holding a scroll and reading it.

 Chapter 1041 - Chapter 1041 Chapter 570 Water Vein Nu Jiang_2

    Chapter 1041: Chapter 570 Water Vein Nu Jiang_2 Chapter 1041: Chapter 570 Water Vein Nu Jiang_2 ¡°`


    ¡°May I ask why this Daoist Brother is inside my Cave Dwelling?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke, now that he was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he was entitled to claim this Water Mansion as his own.


    ¡°Oh, who would have thought that this Water Mansion would actually belong to Junior Brother Chen?¡±


    As the male cultivator spoke, he turned around. Clad in a pale blue Daoist robe, with dark skin yet handsome features and a tall, straight posture, he exuded an ordinary yet eye-catching air of heroism.


    ¡°Brother Nu Jiang?¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, Golden Core Cultivators were few and far between, and those who would call Chen Mobai a junior brother were only from the Five Elements Sect.


    After eliminating all other possibilities, it could only be the owner of Wind Rain Hamlet, True Person Nu Jiang of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Water Vein, whom he had yet to meet!


    ¡°Correct, it¡¯s me. This place was originally opened up by Liu Yanpei at my behest, so that I could have a constant supply of Azure Blood Carps and Jade Bamboo Shoots.¡±


    After hearing Nu Jiang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed. He hadn¡¯t expected that his so-called Land of Dragon Prosperity actually belonged to the brother before him.


    And he had claimed it to be his own Cave Dwelling.


    ¡°During the chaos of war, I plunged into the Azure Waves Lake in my panic, to wake up and find myself in this Water Mansion, where I acquired the Blackwater Cultivation and began my journey of cultivation with the resources here¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai began to explain to Nu Jiang. This brother had a very good relationship with Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang, but because he was burdened with the heavy responsibility of suppressing the beasts of Cloud Dream Marsh, he could not act on his own accord.


    ¡°The top-quality piece I left behind, along with this Cave Dwelling, was merely to satisfy my own cravings. I never expected that it would bring a peerless genius of the Sword Cultivation to the Wood Vein. Consider it repayment for the teachings I received from the second brother.¡±


    Nu Jiang had a free-spirited personality, and after listening to Chen Mobai, he was even more delighted.


    ¡°Why has Brother come over here today?¡±


    Chen Mobai, hearing him say this, also relaxed and asked.


    ¡°Consider it a visit to see you. After I set foot on the land of Yun Country and remembered this other mansion here, I thought I¡¯d stop by first to check it out. I didn¡¯t expect you to come over and make it your first order of business to visit this place too.¡±


    Nu Jiang¡¯s words made Chen Mobai curious. Although his whereabouts were not secretive, as the master of Wind Rain Hamlet in the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Water Vein, Nu Jiang carried a significant responsibility¨Cwasn¡¯t he worried that leaving his post would lead to the escape of a Rank-4 demonic beast in the center of Cloud Dream Marsh?


    ¡°People from the Dongwu Sun family came seeking help, mentioning that the number of demonic beasts on their side is increasing and becoming harder to fend off. They hope our sect can send someone to aid.¡±


    ¡°And what does this have to do with my Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very lucid¨CAncestor Hunyuan¡¯s mantle was inherited by Zhou Ye and the Five Elements Sect, and they had already separated from one another.


    ¡°They¡¯ve found five Rank-3 beasts. Such a number indicates only one possibility¨Cthat the seal left by Elder Sun Huangwu of Dongwu is failing. If we ignore this, it could very well trigger the collapse of the entire barrier, allowing the Rank-4 beast to break free.¡±


    Nu Jiang briefly explained the gravity of the situation. Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    ¡°The Eastern Wilderness cannot withstand the devastation of a Rank-4 beast at the moment. What would Brother Nu Jiang suggest?¡±


    ¡°Our sect will collaborate with Dongwu for a massive monster hunting operation in Cloud Dream Marsh. It¡¯s difficult for me to leave my post at Wind Rain Hamlet, and within the Eastern Wilderness, only the Divine Wood Sect has the most Golden Core Cultivators. Could you spare two to help?¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the Five Elements Sect also have Sheng Shijie and Zhou Ye?¡±


    ¡°Sheng Shijie is terribly afraid of water, losing much of her strength in Cloud Dream Marsh, and Zhou Ye will not leave Hunyuan Immortal City for such matters.¡±


    Nu Jiang sighed. If it were possible to secure the help of the two Golden Core Cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, why would he bother coming to Yun Country?


    The last time the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster caused havoc, it was he who invited Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang to assist.


    ¡°I will need to return to my sect and discuss this with my three senior brothers.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not agree outright, but indeed, chaos in Cloud Dream Marsh could not be allowed; otherwise, if a Rank-4 beast emerged, even if he managed to unify the Eastern Wilderness, it would probably be turned upside down by its rampage onshore.


    ¡°Yes, the Dongwu Sun Family isn¡¯t easy to deal with either. They should be able to hold out for a few years, but Junior Brother Chen is still better off making a decision sooner rather than later, lest the seal truly breaks and fails.¡±


    ¡°`


    Today, Nu Jiang came over primarily for this matter.


    In the past, he always discussed matters with Zhou Shengqing, but recently he could not contact Zhou Shengqing using the usual talismans, leading Nu Jiang to speculate that his Second Senior Brother might have died. Since Chen Mobai, the new Sect Leader, had arrived in Yun Country, he took the opportunity to come over for a discussion.


    ¡°Among the Azure Blood Carps raised by the Liu family, there are Rank-2 ones. Since Brother Nu Jiang has come, why not let me treat you well?¡±


    After discussing the matter, Nu Jiang was about to take his leave when Chen Mobai suggested having a meal together.


    ¡°This¡­ is not very appropriate, is it?¡±


    Rank-2 Azure Blood Carps were essentially used for breeding; killing them to eat would be tantamount to making the Liu family bleed. Even when Ancestor Hunyuan was alive, Nu Jiang did not dare to do so.


    ¡°Patriarch Liu Jingxian knew I was coming and had already slaughtered one in advance to stew. Green Bamboo Ridge also sent over some treasured dried Rank-2 bamboo shoots. Combined with this Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp, a delicious fish soup should be just about ready.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the gourmand Nu Jiang could no longer resist.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go¡­¡±


    Patriarch Liu Jingxian of the Liu family would never have imagined that the fish soup he stewed could make a Nascent Soul Ancestor unable to stop eating.


    ¡°Very good, very good. The taste of Rank-2 is indeed better than Rank-1. The fish meat has been stewed for so long yet remains firm and tender. These dried bamboo shoots are also delicious, fragrant and sweet. After absorbing the fish soup, they are even more extraordinary¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai did not eat, Nu Jiang directly reached into the pot of fish soup that was still on the fire, not afraid of the heat, and took out two pieces of fish meat with bones and swallowed them, chewing with his eyes narrowed in pleasure.


    ¡°To the two Ancestors, this is the newly harvested Flower Rice. Although it has not reached the Rank-2 level, it is still a top-quality product among Rank-1s.¡±


    At that moment, Liu Jingxian brought over a pot of cooked Spirit Rice and respectfully addressed Chen Mobai and Nu Jiang.


    ¡°This Spirit Rice has its own aroma of rice grains. Pour some fish soup over it, add a couple of slices of fish meat, and the flavor is also quite delightful.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was in Xiao Nanshan, he had already developed this way of eating.


    After trying it out, Nu Jiang found it a revelation and single-handedly finished a large pot of Spirit Rice.


    Chen Mobai then took a small jar of Spiritual Wine from his Storage Bag. It was brewed from Green Jade Spirit Rice and was a Rank-2 Spiritual Wine. Though it was not as good as the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, it was particularly strong.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this meal has been the best I¡¯ve had in the last twenty years. Isn¡¯t it on par with the Supreme Feast at the Sky Meal Building?¡±


    After the meal, Nu Jiang couldn¡¯t help but let out a satisfied burp, enjoying the wine.


    Chen Mobai smiled and exchanged contact talismans with Nu Jiang, then inquired about the Wood Vein and Metal Vein rejoining the Five Elements Sect.


    Naturally, Nu Jiang wholeheartedly supported the idea, even if it was just for appearances. Once their sects were allied again, he would have the face to meet Ancestor Hunyuan when the time came for him to pass away in meditation.


    ¡°There will come a day for that, and I will work hard towards it.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s statement made Nu Jiang even more pleased, but then his gaze turned sad as he felt that Chen Mobai must have said so because Zhou Shengqing had died.


    If his Second Senior Brother had truly achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff would surely now be contemplating a counterattack against the Five Elements Sect to take over Hunyuan Immortal City.


    ¡°By the way, Brother Nu Jiang, since Cloud Dream Marsh still has markets from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, we cannot let them stand by idly regarding the threat of demonic beasts. How about we join hands to issue a notice? Let both their sects contribute some manpower; it would be best if Kong Lingling and Yan Shaoyin could also come over to hunt demonic beasts from time to time¡­¡±

    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was already thinking of a plan to use the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster to weaken Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.


    ¡°Getting both sects to send some Foundation Establishment Qi Practitioners is probably feasible, but getting those two Golden Core cultivators to take action might not be easy.¡±


    Nu Jiang expressed some doubt.


    ¡°We can¡¯t always be the ones shielding others from wind and rain.¡±


    This remark from Chen Mobai struck a chord in Nu Jiang. Over the years, he had painstakingly guarded Cloud Dream Marsh, yet other major sects from the Eastern Wilderness took advantage by leveraging the influence of Wind Rain Hamlet to plunder various resources within Cloud Dream Marsh, leaving him with a profound sense of injustice.

 Chapter 1042 - Chapter 1042 Chapter 571 Patrolling the Six Nations

    Chapter 1042: Chapter 571: Patrolling the Six Nations Chapter 1042: Chapter 571: Patrolling the Six Nations After Nu Jiang left, Chen Mobai stayed in Yun Country for another three days.


    He primarily spent his time at the Liu family residence, as he was the master of their eldest disciple and felt it was necessary to offer them some support.


    Besides that, he was there because Liu Jingxian was planning to upgrade the family¡¯s industry and cultivate Rank-2 spirit rice, intending to fill up the spirit pool that reared their Azure Blood Carps.


    The knowledge required for such an endeavor far exceeded what a cultivator family could possess.


    This involved a variety of areas, not only requiring a Spirit Plant Master but also an Earth Master and even an Array Master and so on.


    As Chen Mobai happened to be free, he came over to help Liu Jingxian take a look.


    ¡°This spirit pool is situated directly beneath the spirit vein of your Liu family. It is the hub that harbors and circulates spiritual energy. If you fill it up, your family¡¯s Rank-3 spirit vein will deteriorate. You mustn¡¯t proceed with such actions.¡±


    Chen Mobai input the map of the Liu family¡¯s spirit veins into the core chip of the Formless Puppet, added the nearby mountains and water veins as well, and soon deduced a three-dimensional topographical map.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Liu Jingxian was greatly alarmed. His main reason for wanting to fill up the spirit pool was that breeding Azure Blood Carps wasn¡¯t very profitable. After all, Qi Practitioners could hardly afford it, and while the noble cultivators of great families and sects could afford them, given the choice and the spirit stones, most would rather purchase elixirs or spirit rice that could enhance their cultivation level.


    Most of the Azure Blood Carps bred by his family were purchased by the Sky Meal Building. Since it was their only big client, the price never really went up.


    Spirit rice, on the other hand, was different. With Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, the content about Foundation Establishment that he had disseminated in Divine Wood City had been spread by sect disciples to much of the Eastern Wilderness.


    From the major sects down to Loose Cultivators and even common folk, nearly everyone was aware of the long-term benefits of consuming spirit rice.


    As a result, even the nobles among the commoners were trying to find ways to acquire spirit rice, hoping not only to improve their own constitutions but to increase the chances that their descendants or even their descendants¡¯ descendants might be born with spiritual roots.


    Loose Cultivators, when they could afford it, no longer spent all their spirit stones on elixirs but chose to purchase various types of spirit rice that matched their cultivation techniques and body constitution.


    In light of these changes, the Rank-2 superior spirit rice the Liu family obtained from the Divine Wood Sect had been reserved by many cultivators in Yun Country right from the planting stage.


    Moreover, as their skill in cultivating spirit rice grew and more spirit fields were developed, the prices, paradoxically, continued to rise.


    After consuming spirit rice for a year, many cultivators indeed broke through the shackles that had hindered them for years by improving their physical constitution.


    With more and more success stories, the price of spirit rice naturally soared.


    In light of this, Liu Jingxian became restless and planned to fill up the family¡¯s Rank-2 high-grade spirit pool to make way for spirit fields to cultivate Rank-2 spirit rice.


    However, after examining the situation, Chen Mobai advised against it.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for your guidance. Otherwise, I would have made a grave mistake.¡±


    What a Golden Core Cultivator says certainly couldn¡¯t be wrong. Liu Jingxian might have been eager to earn spirit stones, but not at the cost of destroying the ancestral Rank-3 spirit vein of his family.


    ¡°The Rank-2 Azure Blood Carps cultivated in this spirit pool, if the prices from the Sky Meal Building really are too low in the future, just send them to the Divine Wood Sect. I will buy them for 300 spirit stones each.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered to purchase them, bearing in mind that the Azure Blood Carps could improve his Water Spirit Root by one point.


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen needs them, I¡¯ll have Wen Bo deliver any excess Rank-2 carps to you in the future.¡±


    Liu Jingxian wouldn¡¯t dare accept Chen Mobai¡¯s spirit stones. His family typically tried to sell off the non-female Rank-2 carps, as the limited spiritual energy in the pool meant that one Rank-2 carcass would take up the living space of several dozen Rank-1 carps.


    And Rank-1 Azure Blood Carps were much easier to sell than Rank-2 carps.


    ¡°After all, this spirit pool breeding is limited in scale. In the future, your Liu family could consider breeding in the Yun Meng Ze area. It so happens that you have gotten to know Elder Brother Nu Jiang, and I will also arrange for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Yun Meng Ze to protect and assist you.¡±


    Chen Mobai proposed another plan, but Liu Jingxian smiled bitterly and shook his head.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, several cultivator families from Yun Country once had this idea and jointly fenced off an area in Yun Meng Ze, setting up array prohibitions. However, when the tide of beasts came, we suffered a total loss, so afterwards we all gave up on the idea.¡±


    During that year of the beast tide, Chen Mobai had been in Yun Meng Ze, where even the Divine Wood Sect failed to protect its own Fang Market, let alone cultivator families like the Liu family.


    ¡°It seems that we will have to find a way to thoroughly cleanse Yun Meng Ze.¡±

    After listening to Liu Jingxian¡¯s difficulties, Chen Mobai expressed his understanding; after all, this was not an Immortal Gate, and there were countless wild and powerful demonic beasts.


    Even the strongest formations couldn¡¯t withstand a horde of beasts led by Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    ¡°These areas can be opened up to form a large contiguous spirit field; if the spirit veins underneath are dispersed, we can add a dozen or so mu of Rank-2 spirit fields¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai and Liu Jingxian returned to their initial topic. With the Formless Puppet¡¯s global three-dimensional deduction and planning capabilities, it was easy for Chen Mobai to draft the most appropriate spirit field industry upgrade path for the Liu family.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai made a special request to Dong Xuanze, the Town Guard of Yun Country, to take special care of the Liu family, to prevent others who coveted the profit the Liu family was making from spirit rice from envying them and becoming rogue cultivators who would come knocking on their door.

 Chapter 1043 - Chapter 1043 Chapter 571 Patrol the Six Countries_2

    Chapter 1043: Chapter 571: Patrol the Six Countries_2 Chapter 1043: Chapter 571: Patrol the Six Countries_2 He planned to establish the Liu family as a model for cultivating Spirit Rice, striving to get every nation in the Eastern Wilderness to support one family.


    In Rain Country, it is the Gu family, in Yun Country it¡¯s the Liu family, and in Lei Nation, there¡¯s the Lian family.


    Apart from that time he grappled with Shake Mountain Peak, Chen Mobai and Lian Chenghai were brothers-in-arms, and also because Lian Maozhi, who he brought from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment ranks, was a member of the Lian family.


    Naturally, one should favor one¡¯s own people when it comes to good opportunities.


    After Lei Nation, Chen Mobai then headed to Sky Country.


    Zhou Wangshen initially did very well there, but recently the Nanxuan sect, in order to open up a passage to Cloud Dream Marsh through Sky Country, began stirring up trouble more frequently. Additionally, Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, unwilling to pay the exorbitant Spirit Stones, stirred the waters further, leaving him somewhat unable to withstand the pressure from the three factions.


    Fu Zongjue even had to come over and take a stand for a while.


    While Chen Mobai was in Lei Nation, Zhou Wangshen was eagerly waiting, looking forward to the day when he would arrive.


    ¡°You needn¡¯t worry about this matter; before long, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley won¡¯t have the spare capacity to engage in these petty actions anymore.¡±


    Chen Mobai affirmed Zhou Wangshen¡¯s achievements over the years and disclosed to him some of the forthcoming plans aimed at Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.


    After hearing this, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s eyes lit up, expressing his willingness to lead this matter on behalf of the Sect.


    ¡°Sky Country, as a crucial junction connecting Cloud Dream Marsh and the Ruins, is also one of the gateways for those coming from the direction of the Eastern Barbarians; it¡¯s one of the Sect¡¯s most critical territories, and choosing who guards it is of supreme importance. I can rest easy knowing you¡¯re here.¡±


    This statement by Chen Mobai soothed Zhou Wangshen¡¯s desire to achieve merit for the Sect.


    ¡°To report to Sect Master, under my command, I currently only have the Hall Master of the Minor Third Hall who is a Foundation Establishment Practitioner. If a full-scale conflict with the Nanxuan sect were to arise, these hands will indeed be insufficient.¡±


    Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Wangshen requested more hands. Compared to the Nanxuan sect, which had Golden Core Cultivators, having only four Foundation Establishment Practitioners stationed in Sky Country was indeed a little weak.


    ¡°As the Sect Master, I can¡¯t show special treatment for you alone. However, you are indeed under a great deal of pressure in Sky Country¡­ Well then, after I return, I shall once again open up the rights to town guarding, allowing the minor Twelve Divisions under your command to also recruit Foundation Establishment Practitioners.¡±


    Chen Mobai, taking into account the practical situation, decided it was likely that Sky Country could become the bridgehead of a war between the Eastern Wilderness and the Eastern Barbarian Profound Arrogance Dao Palace. Thus, he resolved to enable Zhou Wangshen¡¯s ranks to have more Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    Among the guardians of the six countries, Zhou Wangshen had the most considerable background. With this authority, it¡¯s estimated that his Minor Third Hall and Twelve Divisions could likely gain three or four more Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    ¡°Many thanks to the Sect Master!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangshen was indeed very joyful.


    Over the years, he increasingly realized just how vital the Sect¡¯s new policy on town guarding was¨Cit was set up to train the next generation of Sect Leaders. If his cultivation was high enough, the number of his Foundation Establishment Apprentices sufficient, and if he had the support of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he could even one day replace the role of Giant Tree Ridge and proclaim himself the orthodox lineage of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Sect Master, your tea has arrived!¡±


    At that moment, a young girl with a graceful figure, dressed in a white gown, walked in, holding a cup of tea filled with swirling Spiritual Energy, and respectfully offered it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I remember you, you¡¯re Zhou Bingyan, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the tea, looking at the young girl in white, recalling when he had just returned after his Nascent Soul Formation, it was in this very Rock Country where he encountered her¨Ccaught amidst rogue cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect Shop, leading the disciples against the attackers with calm and valor.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe the Sect Master still remembers my niece; she has been practicing by my side these years, and her cultivation level is almost there. Some days ago, the Nanxuan sect auctioned Foundation Building Pills, and I had someone buy one, intending for her to return to the Sect to prepare for Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen spoke with a smile, introducing her. In recent years, he had gradually begun to control the resources and connections of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Zhou family, not stinting on Spirit Stones for those with talent in the younger generation.


    Beyond himself, Zhou Bingyan was the most exceptional in both Spiritual Root and comprehension within the Zhou family these years.


    Moreover, given that she was most fond of the Sword Dao, Zhou Wangshen thought of possibly having her take an oath of allegiance to Chen Mobai, the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s number one Sword Cultivator, so that even if Zhou Shengqing passed away in meditation, the Zhou family would still have a Nascent Soul Formation to rely on.


    ¡°We share a fate, hold out your hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai was probably clear about King Zhou¡¯s intentions; after all, Zhou Bingyan was a descendant of Zhou Shengqing. Since he had encountered her before her Foundation Establishment, he casually offered her some guidance.


    After creating a model of Zhou Bingyan with the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai pointed out the potential difficulties and key points she might encounter during her Foundation Establishment. Her ordinarily cold complexion became excited, and she couldn¡¯t help but prepare to give a grand salute.


    This Zhou Bingyan had a triple attribute True Spirit Root of metal, water, and wood, and she cultivated through the Dual-phase Rotation of Wood Spirit Power and Water Spirit Power. However, her talent in the Water Spirit Root was the highest, although not by much compared to the Metal and Wood Spirit Roots.


    Moreover, she had already cultivated both techniques to the Perfection of Qi Cultivation, so it was too late to change her cultivation path now, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention this.


    ¡°Cultivate well; you shouldn¡¯t have big problems with your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that sometimes confidence could greatly help in Breaking Through Realm, so he said this to Zhou Bingyan.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master¡­¡±


    King Zhou, who was nearby, was also very happy after hearing this.


    If the Zhou family could produce another Foundation Establishment practitioner after him, it would be a significant achievement for him, who could almost be considered the patriarch of the Zhou family.


    ¡°Do you have any doubts about your cultivation? Since I happen to be here, let me give you some pointers as well.¡±


    Chen Mobai quite liked the feeling of nurturing exceptional talents, especially after cultivating the extremely rare Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment in Zhuo Ming, which filled him with motivation.


    Now that his Cultivation Realm was high, nurturing Foundation Establishment Practitioners no longer felt significant, so he started thinking about cultivating Golden Core Cultivators.


    Although King Zhou wasn¡¯t as promising as Golden Core seeds like Yin Qingmei of Hong He, he was still next in line, at least definitely capable of achieving Foundation Establishment Completion and attempting Nascent Soul Formation, so Chen Mobai also took an interest in him.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master¡­¡±


    King Zhou had never expected such good fortune and immediately relayed the doubts about cultivation he had accumulated over many years, seeking advice for each of them.


    Previously, he could consult with Zhou Shengqing, but after the latter prepared for Nascent Soul Formation, he lost the chance to communicate with Zhou Shengqing.


    After Zhou Shengqing¡¯s failure in Nascent Soul Formation, this became even more true, and none of the Zhou family could contact him anymore.


    Some with keen intuition had already guessed what had happened. Amid their inner sorrow, they also began to restrain their family¡¯s actions within the Sect, cautioning against being too conspicuous.


    For Chen Mobai, the doubts King Zhou had about cultivation were simple and easy to resolve, especially in matters concerning the Longevity Dao Body, where Chen Mobai was already an authority within the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The second stage of this Body Training Technique requires Longevity Dew, which you can temporarily put aside. Focus on improving your spiritual power and Spiritual Consciousness Realm first. In the future, after I have refined it, I will list this resource in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    The Longevity Dew was an ancient recipe, and some ingredients are no longer to be found in the Tianhe Realm today. Zeng Woyou ruined several batches before he finally stumbled upon the path to success.


    And after refining it, it was certain to be supplied first and foremost to Chen Mobai as the Sect Leader.


    Without the necessary resources, the cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body was incredibly slow, and King Zhou had personally experienced this.


    This was the first time he had heard of Longevity Dew. Chen Mobai¡¯s revelation of this secret made King Zhou feel he had become a trusted confidant of the Sect Leader, and he was thrilled inside.

    [After the ancestor passed away in meditation, leading the Zhou family to draw closer to Sect Master Chen was indeed the right decision.]


    King Zhou thought this and then asked how he could break through to the later phase of Foundation Establishment as quickly as possible.


    ¡°Just let your cultivation take its natural course. Rushing and being overeager can cause your foundation to be unstable, which is detrimental to Breaking Through the major realms in the future.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai advised King Zhou to put aside such thoughts for the time being.


    ¡°Sect Master, I don¡¯t want to fall behind Senior Brother Hong He. After all, if I am to compete for the position of Sect Leader in the future, my realm certainly cannot be lower than his.¡±


    Feeling like a confidant of Chen Mobai, King Zhou revealed his inner thoughts.

    Chapter 1044: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader¡¯s reward) Chapter 1044: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader¡¯s reward) ¡°`


    ¡°As for Hong He, you needn¡¯t worry about him becoming your rival since he has no interest in becoming the Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a reason. He knew that Hong He might have some connections with demonic cultivation and might have to be expelled from the Divine Wood Sect in the future for the greater good, but this information could not be revealed to Zhou Wangshen.


    ¡°Given his temperament, that sounds about right. But relying on others is not in my nature. I still hope to be no weaker than him in terms of my realm.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen was also a proud man. Even though he had been repeatedly defeated by Chen Mobai and Hong He over the years, he had always managed to maintain a peak status just below these two. Now, having taken over the Zhou family and given the power to rule over Sky Country, he was even more eager to reclaim the glory that belonged to him.


    He couldn¡¯t compare with the monstrous Chen Mobai, but Zhou Wangshen still wanted to test his strength against Hong He.


    ¡°Then you must work hard. I hope to one day see the miracle of the fusion between the Longevity Scripture and the Longevity Dao Body in you.¡±


    Chen Mobai held Zhou Wangshen in high regard as well, after all, he was a bona fide disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, a descendant of the Zhou family who would never betray the sect. In the future, when Chen Mobai needed to unify the Eastern Wilderness with the power of his sect, Zhou Wangshen would be the general who could expand and guard new territories.


    And since Zhou Shengqing was still around, he deliberately stayed in Sky Country for two days to give Zhou Wangshen thorough guidance.


    After that, he went to Rock Country!


    ¡°Greetings to the Sect Leader!¡±


    E Yun had long been waiting with others. As Chen Mobai stepped out of the Teleportation Array and saw the Northern Abyss City, which now roughly resembled one-tenth of his grand plan, he nodded slightly in approval.


    ¡°You¡¯ve had a hard time dealing with the oppression from the Nanxuan Sect over these years.¡±


    Chen Mobai addressed E Yun, who shook his head, indicating that as the Town Guard of Rock Country, it was his duty and responsibility to withstand this pressure.


    ¡°What kind of person is Fang Xuanyang?¡±


    Chen Mobai had only heard of the name of this Golden Core Cultivator from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace who had come to replace Xuan Shu but had never met him.


    ¡°He is proud in nature but also calm and cold-blooded. He had also contended for the position of Taoist Child, but lost to Xuan Shu. His cultivation level is unfathomably deep, at least above Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.¡±


    E Yun relayed the information he had gathered, and Chen Mobai nodded.


    After Fang Xuanyang arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, aside from reestablishing the Nanxuan Sect¡¯s mountain gate at Treasure Color Mountain, he continuously sent disciples under his command towards Sky Country, clandestinely establishing a channel to Yun Meng Ze.


    Naturally, this channel did not escape the notice of the Divine Wood Sect. Unfortunately, when Zhou Wangshen of Sky Country wished to intervene and shut it down, he was met with Fang Xuanyang¡¯s personal arrival.


    If it weren¡¯t for Fang Xuanyang not wanting to openly break with the Divine Wood Sect, it¡¯s likely that all four Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Sky Country would have perished in that confrontation.


    Because of this incident, Fu Zongjue, accompanied by the Purple Sun Puppet, personally made a trip to negotiate with Fang Xuanyang. The two reached a reluctant consensus: the Divine Wood Sect would not interfere with this channel opened by the Nanxuan Sect, and Fang Xuanyang promised that while in the Eastern Wilderness, he would not use his superior strength to act against any Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, upon analysis afterward, it was clear that Fang Xuanyang had done this deliberately.


    It seemed he intended to use this minor issue to reach a non-interference agreement with the Divine Wood Sect, the dominant power in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although Fang Xuanyang was an elder of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, with Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang, two Golden Core Cultivators, having died here and Xuan Shu returning severely wounded to the East Barbarians, it was evident that the Divine Wood Sect would not be deterred by his background.


    Should a conflict actually arise between them, just Fu Zongjue alone, with his Purple Sun Puppet, would be enough to fight to a standstill with him. If Chen Mobai or Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff came over, he would probably only be able to flee.


    Although Fang Xuanyang, as a Golden Core Cultivator of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, looked down upon the backwater Eastern Wilderness in his heart, faced with reality, he still had to bow his head for the time being.


    After the agreement to refrain from attacking each other¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners was reached, both parties began to compete in Rock Country and Sky Country through normal commercial means.


    The Xuan Xiao Dao Palace owned a Commerce Association. As a power presided over by Nascent Soul Cultivators, at its peak, its influence reached the entire Eastern Region; it even had dedicated branch stores in the East Land.


    However, as the Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s lifespan neared its end, the influence of the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association continuously contracted, up to the point where it was only present in the East Barbarians, the Eastern Wilderness, and Dongwu.


    Previously, the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association took advantage of the two countries on Shake Mountain as its base, supporting Ji Zhenshi and had scoured many precious mines and resources from the Eastern Wilderness, including those from Cloud Dream Swamp.


    Although Shake Mountain was eventually annihilated, the great Xuan Xiao Commerce Association had already prepared to take over most of the inheritance.

    Unfortunately, in the most crucial battle, unable to withstand the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s God of Slaughter, Nanxuan Jing was beheaded on the battlefield, and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace¡¯s painstakingly built influence in Yanxiao over nearly a century was lost in a single stroke, and those precious spirit stone veins and so forth were also snatched back by the Divine Wood Sect.


    Subsequently, although Xuan Xiao Dao Palace sent Xuan Shu, a Taoist Child, he encountered Zhou Shengqing, who revealed the strength of Nascent Soul Formation. As a result, the forces that battled with the Divine Wood Sect were also completely wiped out over Giant Tree Ridge.


    When Fang Xuanyang was assigned, he had no desire to come to the Eastern Wilderness to clean up the mess.


    But with the Golden Wind Ancestor still alive and faced with Nascent Soul Oppression, he could only grit his teeth and come over.

 Chapter 1045 - Chapter 1045 Chapter 572 School District Housing (Thanks to

    Chapter 1045: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader reward)_2 Chapter 1045: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader reward)_2 After reaching a difficult agreement with Fu Zongjue, Fang Xuanyang began to take advantage of Xuan Xiao¡¯s Commerce Association¡¯s access to the three realms. Using Foundation Building Pills as trump cards and the exclusive Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice, he started to continuously develop the Treasure Color Market.


    ¡°Sect Master, forgive me, but using your method, I could only manage to run Beiyuan City in a way that it shares the Rock Country Market equally with the Treasure Color Market.¡±


    As Chen Mobai wandered through the much-expanded Beiyuan City, E Yun followed by his side, his face showing a hint of shame.


    ¡°You¡¯ve done quite well, after all, the Foundation Building Pills and Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice are things that even our sect cannot produce.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s refined Foundation Building Pills were so precious that even they scarcely had enough for their own use, let alone to compete with the Treasure Color Market.


    And the Rank-3 spirit rice was even rarer.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Back to Sky Valley had Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, thanks to their association with the Star Heaven Dao Sect ¨C and these were goods that even Core Formation Practitioners had to queue to purchase.


    Fang Xuanyang lured most of the Qi Practitioners in the Eastern Wilderness with Foundation Building Pills, and with the Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice, he even made many families and Loose Cultivators willingly part with their spirit stones to trade at the Treasure Color Market.


    Even Chen Mobai received news from the Witchcraft Division of his sect, reporting that the Five Elements Sect and the Snow-blowing Palace had opened branches in the Treasure Color Market specifically to purchase Golden Cloud Rice for their Nascent Soul Ancestors.


    After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, aside from Yan Shaoyin who did not lack Rank-3 Spirit Rice, all other Core Formation Practitioners found it insufficient.


    If not for the channels the Divine Wood Sect had to purchase Fire Crystal Rice from Sun Bathing Sea and Yellow Bud Rice from Dongwu, and the fact that they had a hostile relationship with the Treasure Color Market, they would probably have not been able to resist sending spirit stones to Fang Xuanyang.


    That Beiyuan City could still divide the market equally with the Nanxuan Sect under the pressure of Foundation Building Pills and Golden Cloud Rice was all thanks to the groundwork laid by Chen Mobai beforehand.


    Sell houses!


    The contracts personally signed by Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, ensured that Cultivators who bought Cave Mansions in Beiyuan City would be protected by the whole sect until their property deeds expired, even if they offended a Golden Core Cultivator.


    This policy was instantly coveted by all the Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness who lacked a sense of security.


    This was a guarantee by Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, sworn on his Dao Heart. As long as the homebuyers had no history as Rogue Cultivators, had a clear identity, and paid in full, they could obtain a property title to a Cave Mansion in Beiyuan City.


    Now, it was a mark of prestige among all the Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness to own a house in Beiyuan City.


    The initial offering of three hundred Rank-1 Spiritual Root Cave Mansions sold out immediately. In the face of competitive bidding, prices surged from the initially tentative 1,000 spirit stones per unit to an increase of six to seven times.


    And with a single stroke of his pen, Chen Mobai entrusted all the revenue to E Yun, allowing him to continue developing the real estate in Beiyuan City.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the Rank-2 Cave Mansions are not selling well. Those Cultivator Families only bought one Rank-1 unit each. After all, the protection offered by the sect is the same whether one owns a Rank-1 or Rank-2 Cave Mansion.¡±


    E Yun spoke of the problem he encountered.


    Rank-2 Cave Mansions in Beiyuan City were theoretically sold to Foundation Establishment Practitioners, but most of those who had achieved this realm were the patriarchs of major families.


    They already possessed their own clan lands, with even more vigorous spiritual veins and protective large formations, making it unlikely for them to inhabit a Rank-2 Cave Mansion in Beiyuan City even if they bought one.


    The other Loose Cultivators at Foundation Establishment were few in number and lacked a secure dwelling, but they could hardly be counted on one hand.


    On the other hand, there were some Qi Cultivation Perfection Loose Cultivators who could afford 10,000 spirit stones for a Rank-2 Cave Mansion. Normally, these individuals were not willing to reveal that they had such wealth, but within the safety of Beiyuan City, they need not worry too much.


    However, these people were after all the minority.


    With a hundred Rank-2 Cave Mansions initially planned, only twelve had been sold to this day.


    ¡°This is simple.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared completely at ease and proposed a solution to E Yun that left him with his eyes shining and a look of astonishment.


    ¡°School district housing?¡±


    Yuan Chiye, Qi Rui, and Yu Lian, who were listening on the side, felt confused.


    Could this really stimulate those Cultivator Families to purchase Rank-2 Cave Mansions?


    ¡°I am a person who enjoys educating and nurturing talent. The tradition of the Divine Wood Sect to enroll sect members only once every decade undoubtedly causes many people with a Spiritual Root to miss their prime cultivation years, so I¡¯ve been pondering how to solve this problem and found that the private academies in the Mortal World are an excellent approach.¡±


    ¡°I plan to start with a pilot Daoist Academy in Northern Abyss City, specifically for recruiting cultivators with a Spiritual Root. Any cultivator who has a property deed within Northern Abyss City can send their descendants under the age of thirty here. I will serve as the honorary principal, and dispatch true disciples and Foundation Establishment Practitioners from our sect to personally teach and guide them.¡±


    ¡°This academy will enroll a new class of students every year, with six grades in total. After six years, I will personally set the exam, and those who pass can enter my Divine Wood Sect and become its disciples. If they wish to go to Golden Cliff, that too is no problem.¡±


    ¡°Students who do not pass the exam will be given a certificate of completion. However, if a student comes from a Rank-2 Cave Dwelling, even if they don¡¯t pass, they can directly enter the Divine Wood Sect without examination.¡±


    Chen Mobai had long harbored this idea, as the traditional decennial disciple recruitment in the Eastern Wilderness was just too inefficient.


    The Immortal Gates had reached peak mastery in their research on education.


    He only needed to make minor adjustments before implementing the same system here.


    With the current reputation of the Divine Wood Sect, countless people from the Eastern Wilderness aspire to join.


    This is the perfect opportunity for expansion. If they are limited to opening the sect¡¯s gates only once every ten years, they could easily miss out on this rare peaceful development period.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s plan for the school district real estate, E Yun vaguely sensed the great impact it would have on the property sales in Northern Abyss City.


    At the very least, most of the remaining eighty-eight Rank-2 Cave Dwellings could be sold.


    But E Yun completely underestimated the influence of the school district properties.


    After the news spread, representatives of the major families in Northern Abyss City came rushing over the very next day, nearly trampling down his doorstep.


    ¡°E Town Guardian, one set for the Wang family!¡±


    ¡°We, the Tie family, want two sets!¡±


    ¡°Snow Peak Bai Family will take five sets!¡±


    ¡­


    In just three days, all of the Rank-2 Cave Dwellings were snatched up, leaving not a single one left for E Yun.


    ¡°Damn it, sold too cheap!¡±


    As he looked at the map of Northern Abyss City, where the Rank-2 Cave Dwellings were marked with full flags, E Yun¡¯s face was full of regret. He slammed the table, lamenting why he had not increased the prices.


    ¡°Hahaha, no need to mind. According to my original plan, only one-tenth of Northern Abyss City has been developed. There are nearly a thousand Rank-2 Cave Dwellings yet to come. Just shout your prices,¡± said Chen Mobai, hearing E Yun¡¯s sighs as if he had lost millions of Spirit Stones. Yet he appeared utterly unconcerned.


    If Northern Abyss City were fully developed according to his initial plans and all the shop and Cave Dwelling plots were sold, they would likely gather nearly a hundred million Spirit Stones from the families and Loose Cultivators across the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, he had no intention of draining the lake to catch all the fish at once. The housing prices would surely rise step by step with the development and accompanying facilities.


    It was necessary to make cultivators who bought Cave Dwellings in Northern Abyss City feel they had made a worthwhile purchase.


    ¡°By the way, how many Rank-3 Cave Dwellings have been developed?¡± Chen Mobai continued, as these were intended for his own Divine Wood Sect cultivators to live and cultivate in.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, we have opened up ten on the mountaintop.¡±


    ¡°If we were to sell them for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones each, do you think anyone would be willing to buy?¡± asked Chen Mobai.


    Contemplating Chen Mobai¡¯s question, E Yun shook his head after a long moment, feeling that even wealthy families like Snow Peak Bai Family would not spend so much on a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling.


    ¡°What if I add that students from Rank-3 school district properties are guaranteed a Foundation Building Pill upon entering the sect? Would people buy then?¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, E Yun¡¯s mouth hung open in shock.

 Chapter 1046 - Chapter 1046 Chapter 573 Longevity Academy

    Chapter 1046: Chapter 573 Longevity Academy Chapter 1046: Chapter 573 Longevity Academy ¡°Sect Leader, isn¡¯t this too expensive?¡±


    In the Treasure Color Market auction for Foundation Building Pills, the final price is usually around over ten thousand Spirit Stones. This set of ten Rank-3 Cave Dwellings, guaranteeing Foundation Building Pills, will inevitably be a loss compared to that.


    E Yun couldn¡¯t imagine who would buy a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling because of this.


    ¡°Do you know about the Ascending Immortal Orders?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a smile, addressing a question to E Yun. Being one of the most knowledgeable within the Sect, E Yun thought for a moment and then recalled something he had read in the ¡®Eastern Territory Miscellany¡¯.


    E Yun: ¡°Are those orders bestowed by the Eastern Earth Holy Lands to disciples with significant contributions, that allow their descendants with a Spiritual Root to join the Holy Land with the help of an Ascending Immortal Order, ensuring them a Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Correct. This Rank-3 Cave Dwelling is equivalent to our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Ascending Immortal Order. As long as someone purchases it, within the sixty years ownership period, they can use this proof of purchase to join our Divine Wood Sect and claim a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    E Yun: ¡°But if someone can afford to spend one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling, why wouldn¡¯t they just go to the Treasure Color Market and directly bid over ten thousand Spirit Stones for a Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    E Yun had trouble keeping up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking and struggled to understand it.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This Rank-3 Cave Dwelling is a fallback for Cultivator Families. After all, no one can be certain that their family will always have a Foundation Establishment Practitioner. If someday the family has no more Foundation Establishers, their vast assets will be coveted by their neighbors. Rather than waiting for that to happen, it¡¯s better to buy a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling in Northern Abyss City. Perhaps they could rise again with the support of our Divine Wood Sect and a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    With this explanation, E Yun suddenly realized the truth of the matter.


    When a Cultivator Family has a Foundation Establishment Practitioner in charge, it can hardly avoid friction with its neighbors, and even Rogue Cultivators come knocking. Once the Foundation Establishment member dies, according to local customs, the family will certainly be bullied and plundered.


    Rather than face this situation, it would be better to secure a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling while having a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and thereby reserve a potential future within the Divine Wood Sect for their family.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t ten Rank-3 Cave Dwellings too few?¡±


    After coming to an understanding, E Yun thought of the previous hot demand for Rank-2 Cave Dwellings and was immediately invigorated.


    ¡°Scarcity creates value, and those who can take out one hundred thousand Spirit Stones are few in the Eastern Wilderness. Let¡¯s start by selling just five,¡± Chen Mobai responded.


    Chen Mobai had taken courses in commerce and finance at the Repairing Heaven Institute and knew the tactics of marketing well.


    ¡°Sect Leader, there¡¯s another issue. Won¡¯t this be too great a burden on our Sect? After all, we need to distribute Spirit Stones to our disciples.¡±


    In the previous years, the Divine Wood Sect had almost exhausted its reserve of Spirit Stones due to a great war. If not for securing control of the Spirit Stone Mine at Shake Mountain Peak and leveraging Cloud Dream Marsh to acquire a substantial sum from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, Luo Xue¡¯er, the Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, would probably still be frowning in worry.


    Last year, the Divine Wood Sect distributed a total of 2.8 million Spirit Stones to Sect practitioners, most of which were rewards and subsidies for participating in the war.


    In times without war, the basic Spirit Stone welfare would only require around 800,000 to be distributed.


    This figure does not even account for the Golden Core Cultivators.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, Spirit Stones could be withheld elsewhere, but the annual 500,000 Spirit Stones basic expense for the Nascent Soul Ancestors would never, and could never, be deducted.


    Moreover, every time a Nascent Soul Ancestor acted on behalf of the Sect, the Sect would also have to provide upwards of 100,000 Contribution Points. Considering the operation needs of the Sect, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue¡¯s accounts continued to grow, but they hardly ever converted it all into Spirit Stones at once to prevent causing a financial collapse within the Sect.


    The reason for this was that Zhou Shengqing and the others had other sources of income.


    When the Divine Wood Sect split from Jinguang (Golden Light) Peak, they received a medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine from the Five Elements Sect.


    This mine was located in Wind Country, guarded by agents of Jinguang Peak and mined by the Divine Wood Sect. The core vein was made of top-grade Spirit Stones, the rewards from which were divided equally among the three Nascent Soul Ancestors.


    Their top-grade Spirit Stones mostly came from there.


    The annual output was roughly 3 to 4 million Spirit Stones, belonging exclusively to the Golden Core Cultivators.


    Even with the addition of Chen Mobai to the share, each individual was still able to acquire nearly a million Spirit Stones from this medium-sized mine.


    In other words, Chen Mobai¡¯s annual share of Spirit Stones from the Divine Wood Sect amounted to one and a half million, which seemed a lot on the surface.


    However, in reality, a Golden Core Cultivator required that much just to maintain their various areas of growth, and their resources were merely adequate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Spirit Rice, elixirs, Talisman Paper, puppet components, the nurturing of magic artifacts, and so on. At the Golden Core stage, Cultivators couldn¡¯t afford any weakness, so they used Spirit Stones to enhance all aspects.


    Chen Mobai, habituated to poverty, felt that the annual million Spirit Stones was more than enough after establishing his Golden Core. But to the likes of Fu Zongjue, it seemed hardly sufficient.


    Moreover, after nearly a hundred years of excavation, the Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country had dwindling reserves, causing Zhou Shengqing and the others much anxiety in the past few years.


    Not counting this mine, the annual Spirit Stone expenditure of the Divine Wood Sect was about three million.


    Previously, with territories consisting of just four countries, plus the addition of Cloud Dream Marsh, the Sect¡¯s annual income was only between three and four million Spirit Stones.

 Chapter 1047 - Chapter 1047 Chapter 573 Longevity Academy_2

    Chapter 1047: Chapter 573 Longevity Academy_2 Chapter 1047: Chapter 573 Longevity Academy_2 The three wars against the Shake Mountain Top South Xuan Sect had nearly drained the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s savings accumulated over several decades.


    Now with the addition of Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, the Sect had to spend an extra five hundred thousand Spirit Stones each year.


    Thus, E Yun¡¯s concerns were quite justified.


    ¡°These students will need at least six years before they can be considered for acceptance. And by then, the majority of the Rank-1 Cave Dwelling student quotas will require testing to join the Sect, which can be used to filter out those who do not meet the Sect¡¯s standards.¡±


    ¡°As for the Rank-2 Cave Dwelling student quotas, even though they are guaranteed admission, since we¡¯ve already charged them ten thousand Spirit Stones, the cost of at most a hundred Spirit Stones a year is negligible. Besides, in the future, I plan to implement an assessment system within the Sect, releasing some of the older disciples who lack potential from Giant Tree Ridge to contribute back to the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world.¡±


    ¡°Although the Sect¡¯s finances have been strained in recent years due to the repercussions of the war, now that we have seven countries under our command plus Yun Meng Ze, we can generate an income of seven to eight million Spirit Stones a year. If we continue to live in peace, even if our expenditures were to double, we would still be in a surplus.¡±


    ¡°In my vision for the Divine Wood Sect, we should have tens of thousands of cultivators, with Nascent Soul Ancestors above and ten thousand Qi Cultivators below. A single wave of my hand should be able to muster an army of cultivators capable of suppressing the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words stirred E Yun and the others, prompting them to envision a grand scenario where tens of thousands of cultivators would emerge from the Sect to awe the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°I hope that within my lifetime, I will be able to witness this scene by your side, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who was beside them, said with deep emotion. More than twenty years ago, when he brought Chen Mobai into the Sect from Yun Country, he could never have imagined that this person could change the Divine Wood Sect, and even the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Sect Leader, there is another issue. Should the Cave Dwelling¡¯s enrollment quota be available every year or should there be some restrictions?¡±


    E Yun, ever the calm one, raised another key question.


    After all, the duration of the property rights for the Cave Dwellings in Beiyuan City was extended, and according to Chen Mobai¡¯s wishes, the Scholarly Mansion was to enroll a new class each year.


    If a Cave Dwelling were able to guarantee student admissions every year, it wouldn¡¯t take long for trading Cave Dwellings to become the hottest thing in Beiyuan City.


    ¡°Let¡¯s set a limit of ten years. Since Rank-2 Cave Dwellings can be guaranteed admission, to avoid a drop in quality within the Sect in the future, let¡¯s make it twenty years. However, this will lead to continuous trading of Beiyuan City Cave Dwellings for Scholarly Mansion quotas, so henceforth the Sect will levy a 10% transfer fee.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s founding of the Scholarly Mansion, and selling houses, was only secondary. The main purpose was to collect cultivators with Spiritual Roots from the Eastern Wilderness for the Divine Wood Sect.


    In the future, the children of wealthy families with Spirit Stones can be easily admitted into the Divine Wood Sect, while the vast majority of other students will need to have genuine qualifications and pass tests to gain a foothold in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, he also planned to start a Genius Class for loose cultivators without district housing quotas but with exceptional and outstanding Spiritual Roots, giving them the chance to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    Given the local customs in the Eastern Wilderness, the Genius Class would inevitably oppose the district housing students, and the district housing students would also form different stances and classes based on Rank-1 and Rank-2. With such a three-way competition, those who ultimately pass the assessments to enter the Divine Wood Sect would surely be the cream of the crop.


    This strategy was no longer feasible in the world of Immortal Gates due to whistleblowers, but it was the best and most suitable education system for the Eastern Wilderness.


    This ensured that the future disciples of the Divine Wood Sect would be mostly elite, and only the truly outstanding could succeed and ascend within the Sect.


    As for the Rank-2 students with guaranteed admission, Chen Mobai had already planned to sustain them within the Sect.


    After all, the sale of a Rank-2 Cave Dwelling for ten thousand Spirit Stones was equivalent to collecting in advance the savings of their ancestors to help build Beiyuan City for the Divine Wood Sect¨Cthis was a promise that needed to be fulfilled.


    Chen Mobai understood the concept of using the money of the future for development. The biggest and strongest companies in the world of Immortal Gates were usually heavily in debt. For the construction of his Puppet factory, hadn¡¯t most of the capital been borrowed from banks?


    Now that the Puppet factory was on track and beginning to produce stable output, it would take about ten years to repay the loans he had taken out, and it would also help him earn Spirit Stones in the Eastern Wilderness every year.


    As the Little Nan Mountain Shop spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai felt that the future income from selling talisman paper and ink might even surpass his earnings from the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Sect Leader, where should we locate this Scholarly Mansion?¡±


    No longer doubtful, E Yun excitedly asked about the most critical matter, the educational site selection.


    ¡°Bring the map.¡±


    Chen Mobai called out, and soon a familiar old man came in, holding a map model made of clay that perfectly suited his intentions.


    ¡°Elder Lu, long time no see.¡±


    This old man was none other than Lu Daoda, the Rank-2 Earth Master that Chen Mobai had recruited here initially. After Chen Mobai returned to the sect, Lu Daoda smoothly passed the application to become an Outer Sect Elder through Chen Mobai¡¯s influence. Later, when E Yun came here to serve as the Town Guard, as a direct subordinate to Chen Mobai, Lu Daoda easily pledged his loyalty.


    Over the years, the construction of Beiyuan City had been inseparable from the efforts of this Earth Master.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Sect Master Chen to still remember this old man.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s greeting, Lu Daoda was also very excited, but he didn¡¯t forget the matter at hand.


    The map model in his hands replicated the layout of Beiyuan City according to Chen Mobai¡¯s plans, thereby reducing it to scale. The nearby mountains and rivers were vividly presented, exquisitely detailed, allowing for immediate clarity at a glance.


    ¡°The school will receive guidance from Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect; we can¡¯t delay their cultivation, so it needs to be built upon a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.¡±


    Chen Mobai first stated a requirement, to which Lu Daoda immediately took out several small flags, placing them in three spots on the map model.


    ¡°Here lies a lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein, which was originally a separate courtyard belonging to the Ji family, and thirty acres of Spirit Fields have been cultivated.¡±


    ¡°Then there is this place on the eastern side of North Abyss Mountain, which according to the plan was going to be transformed into another Fang Market center of Beiyuan City.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, there is this place, which was originally a site of a small Spirit Stone Mine, but now that it has been exhausted, it could also be upgraded into a Rank-3 Spirit Vein through transformation of the land¡¯s veins.¡±


    After listening to Lu Daoda¡¯s explanations, Chen Mobai considered which location would be suitable.


    E Yun also leaned in, pointing to the Ji family¡¯s vast and well-located courtyard, which was the most suitable. He didn¡¯t want to change Beiyuan City¡¯s existing plans, as he would rely on those Fang Market shops to earn more Spirit Stones in the future.


    And regarding the Spirit Stone Mine area, upgrading that vein would require drawing from the Spirit Vein of Beiyuan City, which would damage the density of the Spiritual Energy in the Immortal City, something he was also reluctant to do.


    ¡°In that case, aren¡¯t we going to encroach upon the Spirit Field?¡±


    Yuan Chiye raised some objections. These Spirit Fields were planted with Spiritual Rice developed by Xiao Nanshan, yielding over ten thousand Spirit Stones in annual income for Beiyuan City.


    ¡°Selling one set of Rank-2 Cave Dwellings could almost compensate for this income. If the Sect Master agrees, let¡¯s choose this place!¡±


    E Yun¡¯s tone had completely changed in recent days; solely relying on selling property, he had accumulated a million Spirit Stones and had become utterly indifferent to the meager income from farming.


    ¡°Hmm, then let¡¯s settle on this place.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in agreement without objection, as he had planned to credit this accomplishment to E Yun to pave the way for his future position as Sect Master.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the site and have a look. I will redesign a set of blueprints to complement Beiyuan City based on the environmental conditions of the local veins.¡±

    In the midst of speaking, Chen Mobai led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s group and flew to the plains located just a dozen miles from Beiyuan City, where Mu Yuan, Yin Qingmei, and others, under his command, quickly surveyed and clarified the conditions of the land¡¯s foundation, water veins, and Spiritual Pivots.


    Chen Mobai then took out paper and pen, and based on the classic designs from the Immortal Gates¡¯ Daoist Academies, he crafted a set of blueprints.


    ¡°Sect Master, may I ask what this place shall be named?¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai tirelessly produce over a dozen detailed blueprints, E Yun and the others couldn¡¯t help but ask with awe.


    ¡°Let¡¯s call it ¡®Longevity Academy¡¯!¡±

 Chapter 1048 - Chapter 1048 Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture

    Chapter 1048: Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture Chapter 1048: Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture As a member of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai named the school according to the traditions of the Immortal Gate.


    Scholarly Mansion, Daoist Academy!


    Among these, the highest-tier Daoist Academy was something Chen Mobai felt Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t quite deserve. Although, if pushed, True Monarch Yuan could be considered their de-facto Grandmaster, without any Nascent Soul Cultivators to preside, the name should be somewhat moderate.


    The Scholarly Mansion was just right!


    After confirming the name, Chen Mobai waved his hand and a lump of earth was lifted by his power¨Cthen a surge of golden flames burst forth, melting the soil and reshaping it into a nine-zhang tall brown stele.


    With a flick of his finger, Sword Qi overflowed.


    The four large characters ¡°Longevity Academy¡± were now engraved from top to bottom upon the stele.


    Having completed this task, Chen Mobai discussed the general guidelines of the academy with E Yun. The first to fourth grades would be basic education, setting up the four courses of ¡°Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array¡± as per the Immortal Gate¡¯s standards. By the fifth and sixth grades, students could choose to specialize.


    If everything expanded greatly in the future, Chen Mobai even planned to establish a university division within the Longevity Academy.


    However, since conditions didn¡¯t allow for that now, the Sect served as a substitute.


    But after teaching for a while, Chen Mobai discovered that the Tianhe Realm cultivators, even if they understood the literal meanings, had many discrepancies when implementing the Immortal Gate¡¯s educational system in practice.


    Left with no alternative, Chen Mobai had to stay longer and personally intervene in this matter.


    Fortunately, as the Sect Leader and Nascent Soul Ancestor, his word was law within Divine Wood Sect. At his command, the Sect¡¯s Transmission Division immediately dispatched several experienced cultivators to help.


    Most of these cultivators were former true disciples of the Sect who had failed to progress with the Foundation Building Pill due to age. Wishing to live out their lives in peace, they chose the Transmission Division.


    Having been true disciples, they were naturally the cream of the crop among the Twelve Divisions, and some were even Qi Cultivation leaders within their departments.


    At the very least, they were at Rank-2 level in one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    After familiarizing himself with the situation, Chen Mobai found that their teaching experience did not meet his requirements.


    For instance, one person was extremely skilled in the art of talismans, drawing a Rank-2 Spirit Leaf Talisman on the spot, effortlessly and fluently. Despite the sound foundation, even by Immortal Gate standards, they would likely pass the Rank-2 certification.


    Yet, their way of teaching about talismans was incredibly tedious and difficult to understand. Even with explanations that the lecturer thought were quite simple, the Qi Practitioners listening below were completely befuddled, as if they were hearing a Tian Shu.


    With no other choice, Chen Mobai had to first teach this group how to teach.


    What he didn¡¯t expect, however, was that upon hearing he would be teaching, all of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Cultivating Disciples in Northern Abyss City rushed to submit applications to E Yun and Yuan Chiye, hoping to attend the lecture.


    The title of Great Sage and Good Teacher for Sect Leader Chen resonated throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    The three disciples he taught all established their foundations. Under his guidance, Yu Lian, Mu Yuan, Li Yixian, and Xi Jinghuo emerged as the new talents among Eastern Wilderness¡¯s cultivators of Foundation Establishment.


    Moreover, the three phases of Foundation Establishment he organized and created provided Eastern Wilderness Cultivators with the clearest understanding of this formidable barrier of cultivation.


    Any cultivator aspiring to advance cherished the honor of receiving guidance from the Great Sage and Good Teacher, Chen Mobai!


    So, when word got out that he would be lecturing, it drew the attention of everyone nearby, even if he wasn¡¯t discussing cultivation content.


    Not only from Northern Abyss City in Rock Country but also from Sky Country, Rainbow Country, and Lei Nation, many Divine Wood Sect disciples did not hesitate to spend Spirit Stones to use the Teleportation Arrays just to attend the lecture.


    Seeing such enthusiasm, Chen Mobai, who always had a passion for education, naturally didn¡¯t decline. To further the reputation of the Longevity Academy, he even allowed E Yun not to block people from outside Divine Wood Sect from listening to the lecture.


    Of course, the best front-row seats were naturally reserved for internal Sect members; outsiders could only occupy the furthest places.


    Half a month later, under the direction of E Yun, the Longevity Academy was built. Only the Cultivation Rooms that involved Formations and Spirit Veins were still in progress as the Sect¡¯s Formation Division and Spirit Vein Division worked overtime to meet the deadlines.


    But none of this affected the education.


    That day, Chen Mobai stood directly upon the stele of the Longevity Academy, facing the plains filled with people below, he began lecturing on how to educate properly.


    ¡°In highest esteem stands moral character, followed by achievement, and then by legacy. Though time elapses, they do not fade; this is regarded as immortality!¡±

    He began by quoting a famous phrase from the Immortal Gate.


    Even if a cultivator reaches Divinity Transformation, or practitioners of the Lasting Spring Cultivation may one day pass away in meditation.


    But those who establish virtue, accomplish great deeds, or create doctrines will live on eternally, their legacies passed down forever.


    What Chen Mobai was doing now was establishing a legacy!


    He lectured for an entire day and night, speaking on how to be an excellent teacher, weaving instruction through entertainment. He exemplified each area of Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array, occasionally calling on true disciples like Zhou Bingyan to learn on the spot a spell they had never studied before after just one session of teaching.

 Chapter 1049 - Chapter 1049 Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture_2

    Chapter 1049: Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture_2 Chapter 1049: Chapter 574 Elixir Scripture_2 Following his teaching methods, the cultivators attending the class, even some astute and sharp-minded loose cultivators, also learned on the spot.


    This outcome left the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness, who had never before received education in a systematic manner, utterly astonished.


    [¡°If one could listen to Sect Master Chen¡¯s lectures for a long time, perhaps even the most difficult cultivation technique knowledge could be effortlessly learned¡­¡±]


    At this point, the loose cultivators who had still been somewhat skeptical about Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as a Great Sage and Good Teacher were completely convinced.


    They were even already pondering how they could join the Divine Wood Sect and become disciples under Sect Master Chen!


    By then, Chen Mobai had already guided the colorful clouds and left gracefully.


    ¡°The bearing of an Immortal!¡±


    The admirer among the loose cultivators was named Han Tingfeng, a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer alchemist, among the wealthiest tier in the loose cultivator community, with extensive connections. Sometimes, even the Foundation Establishment families from Lei Nation needed to request his help in refining elixirs.


    He had come this time with the hope of making one last attempt at the Foundation Building Realm before his life ended, leaving no regrets.


    The Foundation Building Pills were already prepared, purchased from the Treasure Color Market of the Nanxuan Sect.


    During the preparation stage, when he heard that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Great Sage and Good Teacher would be teaching in Rock Country, and that anyone could attend the lectures, he immediately put down the elixir furnace he was busy with and hurriedly came over, hoping to hear something about Foundation Building.


    Although the content of Chen Mobai¡¯s lecture, which covered Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array, was unrelated to Foundation Building, it nevertheless took Han Tingfeng¡¯s understanding of his own cultivation technique to a new level.


    He cultivated the Elixir Scripture, considering himself a standout among the Rank-2 alchemists of the Eastern Wilderness. Although Chen Mobai only outlined the Pill Course content, it made him believe that the Sect Master of Divine Wood Sect was an Alchemy Grandmaster above himself.


    Indeed, this man was worthy of being hailed as the greatest talent of the Eastern Wilderness in a thousand years!


    ¡°Do you know? This place will soon be transformed into a branch of the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    While Han Tingfeng was expressing his admiration for Chen Mobai, his friend who lived in Northern Abyss City spoke to the stele of the Longevity Academy.


    ¡°The branches of the Divine Wood Sect number in the hundreds and spread throughout the seven nations of the Eastern Wilderness, what¡¯s so special about that?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s where you¡¯re wrong, let me tell you¡­¡±


    When Han Tingfeng learned the true significance behind the four characters of ¡°Longevity Academy,¡± his eyes widened in shock, and his beard began to tremble with excitement.


    ¡°Is this for real!?¡±


    He had just celebrated his hundredth birthday the year before last and didn¡¯t have many years left to live, but he had many companions and more than a dozen children, among whom one son and one daughter had Spiritual Roots.


    Having given up on establishing his own foundation before starting a family, the pair was still under the age of thirty, which was the cutoff for school admission.


    After finding out the purpose of the Longevity Academy from his friend, Han Tingfeng consulted a few other acquaintances in Northern Abyss City to confirm it was true. Unable to contain himself any longer, he leveraged his connection with Lian Chenghai, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Lei Nation, to approach E Yun.


    ¡°Unfortunately, all the Rank-2 Cave Dwellings have been sold out, but the second phase is under development. You can pay a deposit for the Spirit Stones now, and I assure you I¡¯ll reserve two for you.¡±


    E Yun had heard of Han Tingfeng, a genius in alchemy who even acquired an Elixir Scripture and whose proficiency in refining Qi-turning elixirs and True Strength elixirs even surpassed that of Zeng Woyou.


    Han Tingfeng: ¡°Are there any Rank-1 Cave Dwellings left?¡±


    E Yun: ¡°They sold out not too long ago!¡±


    Han Tingfeng had been cautious. Since Chen Mobai lectured at the gates of the Longevity Academy for just one day, the loose cultivators and various major families who had been observing the situation in Northern Abyss City no longer had any doubts. Even those who already had Cave Dwellings flocked to buy the remaining ones.


    Even when E Yun doubled the prices, it couldn¡¯t dampen the overwhelming enthusiasm of those eager to acquire the homes within the school district.


    After everything sold out, E Yun slapped the table, exclaiming with a pained expression ¡°Sold at a loss.¡±


    ¡°This¡­ I was wondering if E Town Guardian could give an introduction? I¡¯m willing to pay three times the price for a Rank-1 Cave Dwelling and a Rank-2 Cave Dwelling.¡±


    Han Tingfeng¡¯s daughter had exceptional Spiritual Root Talent, but his son was quite ordinary. Hence, he planned to buy a Rank-2 dwelling to ensure his son¡¯s entry and a Rank-1 dwelling for his daughter¡¯s schooling.


    While speaking, he discreetly slipped a bottle of elixir into E Yun¡¯s sleeve, but the latter righteously refused.


    ¡°We have set up a special shop in Northern Abyss City for second-hand house transactions. You just need to go there and register. However, the transfer requires a payment of 10% in Spirit Stones to our Divine Wood Sect, otherwise we do not recognize the enrollment eligibility,¡± he said.


    Since Chen Mobai had informed about the adverse effects of having too much pill toxicity, those in the Divine Wood Sect with a bit of ambition generally only used elixirs to assist in breakthroughs at critical realms.


    Although Han Tingfeng¡¯s elixirs were also well-regarded, E Yun still did not want them.


    ¡°Thank you, E Town Guardian, for the advice. When my children enroll and join your sect in the future, I will still need your care,¡± Han Tingfeng said.


    For the sake of his children, Han Tingfeng did not hesitate to lower his pride; he thought E Yun was refusing because he was not impressed and once again took out the most precious bottle of elixirs with a pang of heartache.


    This was the ¡°Golden Crow Bears the Sun Elixir¡± he obtained together with the Elixir Scripture. Seeing that E Yun seemed poised to refuse once more, Han Tingfeng immediately opened the bottle just a crack.


    The unique aura of a Rank-3 elixir caused E Yun to stop the motion of waving his hand to refuse.


    He began to inquire about the origin of this elixir.


    After Han Tingfeng briefly explained, E Yun¡¯s eyes lit up instantly.


    ¡°Poor parents across the world,¡± E Yun sighed, ¡°Since Han friend speaks thus, I shall give you an opportunity today.¡±


    He sighed, then pulled out a stack of special property deeds from his drawer and handed one to Han Tingfeng.


    ¡°This is ¡­¡±


    ¡°This is a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling that has not yet been opened for sale. Elder Chen¡¯s word is as good as gold¡­¡±


    Han Tingfeng was initially puzzled as he took it, but upon hearing about the benefits of this Rank-3 Cave Dwelling from E Yun, he immediately widened his eyes, and his breathing became rapid.


    In his life, what worried him the most was that after his death, the accumulation of a lifetime of alchemy would be plundered by rogue cultivators from Lei Nation, long eyeing his wealth.


    Thus, he had been trying to secure matrimonial alliances for his children from early on. The cultivator families, however, would also look for a dowry or a bridal gift before agreeing.


    He wanted to find a support for his children before he died, but for those at the Qi Cultivation, he held them in contempt; for those in the Foundation Establishment realm, there were connections but they still demanded all his wealth to agree to accept one of his children as a disciple.


    And now, this Rank-3 Cave Dwelling could perfectly resolve this problem.


    ¡°E Town Guardian, I have only 50,000 Spirit Stones in savings, as I am preparing for Foundation Establishment. I wonder if this Elixir Scripture can be mortgaged to your sect,¡± Han Tingfeng said.


    To use a lifetime¡¯s savings to ensure his children have a Foundation Building Pill and to send them to the Divine Wood Sect for protection from the premier sect in the Eastern Wilderness, he felt it was entirely worth it.


    So, he took out the Elixir Scripture that he had originally planned to pass on to his son only on his deathbed.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun was also surprised. He took a look and found that it recorded seven alchemy recipes, including the Rank-3 ¡°Golden Crow Bears the Sun Elixir.¡±


    Just those recipes alone were worth 50,000 Spirit Stones.


    You should know, the Divine Wood Sect only had a heritage of twenty-four elixir recipes.


    E Yun was struck with emotion and wanted to agree on the spot, but he was after all not an alchemist, and he needed a professional to confirm the content and the recipes in the Elixir Scripture.

    Yin Shuming, a true inheritor of the Alchemy Department who had come to Rock Country with him, hurried over soon after. However, he was merely at the Qi Cultivation level and was uncertain about the higher-ranked recipes and the cultivation methods in the Elixir Scripture.


    ¡°Perhaps we should consult the Sect Leader?¡± Yin Shuming suggested somewhat sheepishly.


    Once Chen Mobai had finished his lecture on Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array, everyone thought of him as an all-around immortal cultivator with alchemy skills at least at Rank-2.


    ¡°The Sect Leader is busy with numerous affairs; let¡¯s not disturb him over such a small matter. I recall Sister Yin is also an alchemist, I will go and invite her,¡± E Yun said.


    When Yin Qingmei received the Message Talisman, she didn¡¯t pay it much attention initially. But as soon as she saw the name of the Elixir Scripture, she immediately got up and rushed out of her room.

 Chapter 1050 - Chapter 1050 Chapter 575 Black Crow Elixir Scripture

    Chapter 1050: Chapter 575 Black Crow Elixir Scripture Chapter 1050: Chapter 575 Black Crow Elixir Scripture ¡°`


    ¡°Black Crow Elixir Scripture!¡±


    When Yin Qingmei came over and finished reading the entire Elixir Scripture, she flipped to the cover and, gazing at these four characters, gently nodded her head.


    ¡°Where did you get this Elixir Scripture from?¡±


    After hearing this, Han Tingfeng¡¯s face showed a hint of hesitation, but since he had already decided to entrust his children to the Divine Wood Sect, and he did not have many years left to live, he decided not to hide this stroke of fortune.


    ¡°When I was young, I lived as a Loose Cultivator on Mysterious Water Island in Yun Meng Ze. One day, while hunting demonic beasts with a group, I fell into the water by accident and encountered a giant clam.¡±


    ¡°Inside this giant clam, I found a box. After secretly returning to the island, it took me three years to erase the restrictions on the box using my spiritual power. When I opened it, I found a bottle of elixir and this Elixir Scripture.¡±


    ¡°Since I was also studying Alchemy Technique while being a Loose Cultivator, obtaining this Elixir Scripture allowed me to make rapid progress. Then, I continuously sold the elixirs I refined in the black market, saving up resources for cultivation.¡±


    ¡°After that was reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection, continuously refining and selling pills in exchange for spirit stones, and even joining a team organized by the Lei Nation Cultivator Families to go to the Golden Crow Immortal City in East Barbarians to buy a Foundation Building Pill. I also secretly bid on a Foundation Building Pill at a sales event held by the Starry Sky Commerce Guild. It¡¯s just a pity that both of my attempts at Foundation Establishment failed¡­¡±


    Han Tingfeng¡¯s life was indeed blessed with good fortune. Relying on his Alchemy Technique, he managed to accumulate a considerable fortune in the Eastern Wilderness, and even attempted Foundation Establishment twice, outshining many true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Unfortunately, trying to succeed in Foundation Establishment by groping blindly was simply too difficult.


    The one thing Han Tingfeng regretted most in his life was not joining the East Wilderness Major Sects when he was younger.


    Otherwise, with his Alchemy Technique, he would have been able to mix in as a true disciple and obtain a Foundation Building Pill.


    At that time, after obtaining the Black Crow Elixir Scripture and reaching Rank-2 in Alchemy, his realm rapidly improved with the intake of elixirs, and soon he achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, full of pride and ambition.


    He thought that major sects and big clans wouldn¡¯t be of much use to him, and also feared that holding a treasure might incur death. Afraid of accidentally revealing the Elixir Scripture within the sects and having it plundered by cultivators of higher realms or the sect itself, he kept wandering between Yun Meng Ze and Lei Nation.


    By the time he had failed multiple attempts at Foundation Establishment and depleted his vital essence, it was too late for him to realize his mistake.


    ¡°Do you know the origins of this Elixir Scripture?¡±


    Yin Qingmei¡¯s question made Han Tingfeng pause. He was so afraid of people finding out about the Elixir Scripture that he dared not reveal anything, thus he truly did not know the origins of the Black Crow Elixir Scripture.


    ¡°This Elixir Scripture is not a product of our Eastern Wilderness, but since it has ended up in your hands, it is your serendipity. Since you have decided to mortgage it to our Divine Wood Sect, we will acknowledge it.¡±


    After verifying that the Black Crow Elixir Scripture was genuine, Yin Qingmei signaled that E Yun could agree to the price of fifty thousand spirit stones.


    ¡°Dao Friend Han, this is the deed for a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling. If anyone puts up a Rank-1 or Rank-2 Cave Dwelling for sale, I will also inform you at the earliest opportunity.¡±


    After completing the procedures, E Yun handed over a thin paper sealed with the stamp of the Divine Wood Sect and signed by Chen Mobai to Han Tingfeng, who accepted it with some excitement.


    At the same time, Han Tingfeng also signed the mortgage contract for the Elixir Scripture, agreeing that during the mortgage period, without the consent of the Divine Wood Sect, he would not reveal its content to anyone else.


    ¡°Thank you, E Town Guardian, Senior Yin¡­¡±


    Han Tingfeng knew in his heart that he might have mortgaged the Elixir Scripture for less than it was worth, but what could he do when he was short of spirit stones? Being able to exchange it for the attention of the Divine Wood Sect was good enough.


    Moreover, he could pass the mortgage contract to his children in the future. If they made a name for themselves within the Divine Wood Sect, they might be able to redeem the Elixir Scripture.


    ¡°Sister Yin, what is the true origin of this ¡®Black Crow Elixir Scripture¡¯?¡±


    After Han Tingfeng had left, E Yun could no longer contain his curiosity and asked.


    ¡°The Baiwu Ancestor of the Sun Bathing Sea had a junior brother named the Ash Feather Daoist. You should have heard of him, right?¡±


    ¡°The Rank-4 Alchemist who died in Yun Meng Ze! He who was lauded as a prodigy who might become the next Golden Wind Ancestor!¡±


    Upon hearing Yin Qingmei¡¯s words, E Yun¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    Over a hundred years ago, Ancestor Hunyuan, Sun Huangwu, and the Baiwu Ancestor, three Nascent Soul Cultivators, joined forces to seal a Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon Beast in Yun Meng Ze. The battle was fierce, with the sky darkening and the sun and moon losing their light. Although in the end the Poisonous Dragon was sealed, it also resulted in some casualties.


    Among those whose loss was most lamented was this very genius Alchemist known as the Ash Feather Daoist.


    Many believed that if he hadn¡¯t perished in Yun Meng Ze, he would have certainly become the second Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Sun Bathing Sea.


    ¡°So this ¡®Black Crow Elixir Scripture¡¯ was his!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    E Yun picked up the Elixir Scripture on the table with a trembling hand, finally realizing the precious nature of this book.


    ¡°I too am fond of alchemy. After Foundation Establishment, I received all the Alchemy teachings from the sect¡¯s Transmission Department, but unfortunately they only go up to Rank-3.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why I asked my master where I could obtain Rank-4 Alchemy Techniques and recipes. He told me that within the Eastern Wilderness only Back to Sky Valley has them, outside the Eastern Wilderness, the Dongwu Sun Family has them, and the three major sects in East Barbarians have them as well.¡±


    ¡°But the most complete content for Rank-4 Alchemy Technique is in the Sun Bathing Sea because they possess part of the Fen Tianjing Di legacy, and they are adept at fire-element spiritual power, even possessing Rank-5 elixir recipes. Among others, the master emphasized the Ash Feather Daoist to me because this genius Alchemist of the Sun Bathing Sea had stayed in the Hunyuan Immortal City for half a month and was treated as an honored guest. At that time, my master was responsible for entertaining and showing him around the Immortal City, so he had a deep impression of him.¡±

 Chapter 1051 - Chapter 1051 Chapter 575 Elixir Scripture of the Black Crow

    Chapter 1051: Chapter 575 Elixir Scripture of the Black Crow _2 Chapter 1051: Chapter 575 Elixir Scripture of the Black Crow _2 Yin Qingmei, when saying this, was also very sentimental. If she had not asked Fu Zongjue, she might not have recognized the Black Crow Elixir Scripture even if she saw it today.


    ¡°But does this book only contain alchemy content from Rank-1 to Rank-3?¡±


    E Yun flipped through the Elixir Scripture from beginning to end again. Although he did not practice alchemy, he could still understand the levels of alchemy techniques.


    ¡°Hmm, this should be the alchemy notes of the Grey Feather Taoist. The seven alchemy recipes recorded here should also be collected by him, and are not exclusive alchemy recipes inherited from the Sun Bathing Sea. However, it is for this reason that Han Tingfeng was able to luckily possess this Elixir Scripture for so many years.¡±


    If he had produced Sun Bathing Sea¡¯s unique elixirs, once recognized by others, even the Five Elements Sect couldn¡¯t protect him.


    Of the seven alchemy recipes, Yin Qingmei had also compared them. Five were already available in the Divine Wood Sect, and only the Rank-2 Concentrating Spirit Pill and Rank-3 Golden Crow Relaying the Sun Pill were ones she was hearing about for the first time.


    ¡°Should this Elixir Scripture be reported to the Sect Leader?¡±


    At this moment, Yin Shuming from the Alchemy Department who stood by, hesitantly asked.


    Generally speaking, in the Tianhe Realm, encountering such precious items, most would swallow them up for themselves. After all, they had to collect their own alchemy recipes and refine their own elixirs.


    If it were not for the fact that this Elixir Scripture was mortgaged for fifty thousand Spirit Stones, even Yin Shuming himself would have wanted to grit his teeth and claim it.


    ¡°My opinion is to report it. What does Yin Shimei think?¡±


    After hearing this, E Yun kept a steady expression, put down the Elixir Scripture in his hand, declared his own stance, and then symbolically sought Yin Qingmei¡¯s opinion.


    According to Yin Qingmei¡¯s desire, she naturally wished to privately claim this Elixir Scripture.


    After all, although fifty thousand Spirit Stones wasn¡¯t a small amount, as a Heavenly Spiritual Root and a Foundation Establishment practitioner, she would still be able to gather that sum.


    However, E Yun spoke up ahead, blocking her from this idea.


    ¡°I agree.¡±


    With no other choice, Yin Qingmei could only nod in helplessness.


    She was astute and understood E Yun¡¯s preemptive speech, which was to avoid the awkwardness that would arise if she was rejected after making a proposition.


    Although they were good friends, as a direct Foundation Establishment Town Guard under Chen Mobai, E Yun would not give way to personal feelings in such matters.


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s such a gain?¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback as he received the Black Crow Elixir Scripture handed over by E Yun.


    Although he did not practice alchemy, he had received twelve years of foundational education in all four subjects of Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array, and with outstanding alchemists like Qing Nu Wang Xingyu, his appreciation ability for alchemy technique was even better than Yan Shaoyin¡¯s from Back to Sky Valley.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, E Yun also presented the bottle of elixirs given to him by Han Tingfeng, in which was precisely a Golden Crow Relaying the Sun Pill.


    This kind of elixir and its recipe were recorded in the Elixir Scripture. It was an ancient alchemy method improved by Grey Feather Taoist. After taking it, cultivators could greatly enhance their efficiency in refining Spiritual Power of fire attribute within a year.


    After taking such an elixir, even cultivators with ordinary Spiritual Roots could become geniuses in cultivating fire Spiritual Power within a year.


    To draw a comparison, is it similar to the fire attribute ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± from the Immortal Gate?


    It¡¯s just unknown whether this increase in efficiency also means elevating the Spiritual Root to a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    If so, it would be a waste for Chen Mobai to use it because he was already a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Sect Leader, Han Tingfeng said that originally there were three pills in one bottle. He diluted the potency of the pills with a refining method to reduce its effectiveness but prolonged its duration. It is because of such elixirs that he was able to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection and real fire of Spiritual Power in just twenty years and even break through to become a Rank-2 Alchemist.¡±


    E Yun knew that Chen Mobai was practicing the fire-attribute Red Flame Sword Jue and thought that this pill would be very helpful to him. Therefore, he revealed the news of the Rank-3 Cave Dwelling to him exceptionally, after listening to Han Tingfeng explain the effects of the Golden Crow Relaying the Sun Pill.


    ¡°Mm, you are quite thoughtful.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded at E Yun and then handed the Elixir Scripture in his hand to Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Since it was Yin Shizhe who identified it, this also counts as a major contribution. Before this Elixir Scripture is archived in the sect¡¯s inheritance department, you may keep it with you for now,¡±


    This Black Crow Elixir Scripture could greatly supplement the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s alchemy inheritance. It¡¯s known that although the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s alchemy inheritance could reach Rank-3, the content for Rank-3 was also rather incomplete.


    If Zeng Woyou were to see this Elixir Scripture, he would definitely be willing to spend all his clan contribution to exchange for it.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yin Qingmei, sharp as ever, instantly understood the implications behind Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    Once the Elixir Scripture is stored in the sect, viewing and exchanging for alchemy recipes would require contribution points, and now by entrusting her with its safekeeping, it was akin to gifting the Elixir Scripture to her.


    After all, she would surely be able to commit the Elixir Scripture and the seven alchemy recipes to memory, given that there was still the Rainbow Country inspection to come.


    ¡°I¡¯ve looked through this Elixir Scripture; it seems to be just the first volume. E Yun, inform King Zhou about this matter. Have him dispatch people to search the waters near Cloud Dream Marsh Xuan Water Island. Perhaps they can find the following volume, which might contain Rank-4 alchemy inheritance,¡±


    Chen Mobai, if he so wished, could download all the alchemy content within the Immortal Gate. Unfortunately, he did not have the energy to learn and identify them. He could only intermittently pass on some useful tips that wouldn¡¯t conflict with the sect¡¯s alchemy teaching to its members.


    If he could help the Divine Wood Sect find Rank-4 alchemy inheritance in the Tianhe Realm, then when Yin Qingmei reaches Core Formation, it¡¯s possible that for the first time in history, the sect could have a Rank-4 Alchemist.


    After receiving the hint from Chen Mobai, Yin Qingmei also realized that the Black Crow Elixir Scripture might have a middle or last volume. She immediately volunteered to take on the mission to search around Cloud Dream Marsh.


    ¡°You are not allowed to go!¡±


    But Chen Mobai was fully aware¨Cshe was a treasured Heavenly Spiritual Root. Even Fu Zongjue was somewhat reluctant to let her out, reminding her repeatedly to avoid any mishaps. After all, in the next generation of the sect, she held the greatest hope for Core Formation.


    However, being coddled within the sect was also disadvantageous for a Cultivator.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, which Core Formation Cultivator hadn¡¯t fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? If Yin Qingmei cultivated smoothly all the way to the Golden Core Realm, she might be the weakest among her peers.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai had decided to take her out this time, to travel through the Eastern Wilderness, broaden her horizons, and gain some worldly experience.


    Even so, he never allowed Yin Qingmei to stray out of the range of his Divine Sense.


    Now that she wanted to go to Cloud Dream Marsh, naturally, that was totally out of the question.


    After being stopped by Chen Mobai, Yin Qingmei also came to her senses and apologetically bowed her head, realizing she had been blinded by the lure of Rank-4 alchemy techniques.


    ¡°You still need to temper your state of mind,¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai earnestly advised Yin Qingmei, who immediately nodded in agreement.


    But due to being pampered for so long within the sect and regarded as a precious gem by everyone, Yin Qingmei had little room for growth and tempering.


    ¡°We have profited from this Elixir Scripture. E Yun, after informing King Zhou, reserve a Rank-1 cave dwelling from the second phase for Han Tingfeng on behalf of the sect. Give him the property deed first, then he can process the enrollment proof for the Longevity Academy,¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±

    With the order given, E Yun immediately left to carry out these tasks.


    Soon, only Chen Mobai and Yin Qingmei were left in the room.


    ¡°Does Yin Shizhe have anything else to discuss?¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing the dignified-faced Yin Qingmei still standing prettily in front of his desk without taking her leave, asked unexpectedly, wondering if she was being rebellious and still wanted to go to Cloud Dream Marsh.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I heard from my master that there is a Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture in the sect¡­¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was considering how to educate Yin Qingmei, she brought up something he had not anticipated.

 Chapter 1052 - Chapter 1052 Chapter 576 Passing on the Sutra

    Chapter 1052: Chapter 576: Passing on the Sutra Chapter 1052: Chapter 576: Passing on the Sutra Because the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was from the Longevity Sect, Chen Mobai worried that there might be backdoors left by the Heavenly Sovereign for the purpose of seizing the body, so even though Yin Qingmei had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, which met the conditions for cultivating this technique, he had never taught it to her.


    He had originally thought that Fu Zongjue would have explained this clearly to his own disciple, but now, listening to Yin Qingmei`s implications, it was obvious that she was still unaware of the issues with this technique.


    ¡°The Longevity Scripture passed down by our sect can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm. Although the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture I obtained from the secret realm of the Longevity Sect may be impressive, there are still some doubts about it. Moreover, as an ancient method, unexpected issues might arise during cultivation. Do you truly wish to practice this technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai was never stingy with techniques; the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was useless in his hands. If Yin Qingmei wished to cultivate it, he definitely would not stop her, but he still needed to make the potential issues clear to her first.


    ¡°Sect Leader, having the good fortune to step into the cultivation world and possessing the rare Heavenly Spiritual Root, I naturally aspire to reach the peak of this realm. The Longevity Scripture is indeed not bad, but since no one has ever reached the ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ with it, the more I practice, the more I doubt it in my heart. This state of mind has already delayed my cultivation progress, and I hope that Sect Leader can bestow upon me the Divine Transformation Technique to help me break through the barriers of my heart.¡±


    Having mustered the courage to speak, Yin Qingmei also voiced what was in her heart.


    In the Tianhe Realm, due to the harsh competitive environment, even disciples from great sects are inherently lacking a sense of security and are desperate to improve their cultivation levels.


    As a cultivator with Heavenly Spiritual Root supported by the Divine Wood Sect, forming her Core was virtually a given.


    The Longevity Scripture she practiced theoretically allowed cultivation up to the Nascent Soul Realm, but since no one had ever achieved it, hearing about the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture sparked an intense longing, which over time, even began to cast the shadow of a Heart Demon.


    During this period of traveling through the Eastern Wilderness to inspect the sect with Chen Mobai, she had come to realize that the Sect Leader was indeed magnanimous and generous. Thus, after E Yun left, she took this rare opportunity alone to present her request.


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll teach you the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.¡±


    After a brief exchange with Elder Ming to confirm that the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture he had obtained had no problems, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    After all, it was Yin Qingmei¡¯s own choice, and if she truly managed to succeed in her cultivation, it was not inconceivable that she could eventually refine and perfect the Longevity Scripture from a higher vantage point.


    After all, the barrier to cultivate the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was too high. To develop the Divine Wood Sect further, it was necessary to perfect the system of the Longevity Scripture.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for imparting this technique. I¡¯ll never forget this debt of gratitude across countless generations!¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai nod, Yin Qingmei was overjoyed. She immediately knelt down to pay her respects and then swore with her Dao Heart that she would only cultivate this technique herself and never divulge it to others.


    ¡°Rise, as the Sect Leader and you being part of our sect, you are also my half-disciple. I hope the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture will assist you on the path to eternal life!¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, imparting techniques is regarded as the greatest favor. After graciously receiving Yin Qingmei¡¯s respects, Chen Mobai began to impart the technique on the spot.


    ¡°This scripture is an ancient law, during its cultivation, you must select a Destiny Spirit Plant that will draw in the essence of heaven and earth, nourishing oneself and practicing the Art of Longevity, to obtain an undying body!¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the grade of this spirit plant is linked to your future cultivation achievements. If you wish to reach Nascent Soul and even Divinity Transformation, you must choose a spirit plant that can advance to Rank-5.¡±


    ¡°Everlife Wood is most suitable; however, all three plants within the sect already have owners. As the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect, I freely enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Should you successfully communicate with one of the three Everlife Woods there, I am willing to grant you one!¡±


    Having decided to cultivate Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai naturally wanted to provide her with the best conditions.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Overwhelmed with emotion, Yin Qingmei expressed her gratitude.


    ¡°Do you remember the Pure Bamboo I gave you when you first reached Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai abruptly asked a question that took Yin Qingmei by surprise, but without any hesitation, she nodded immediately.


    ¡°Of course, I remember.¡±


    ¡°This Pure Bamboo is a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley, containing the natural Qi of purity. It is greatly beneficial for Divine Consciousness Cultivation and can reach up to Rank-4, at which point it can refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spiritual Energy, which is truly miraculous. You may also consider it as an alternative.¡±


    ¡°Even though the potential of Everlife Wood surpasses that of Pure Bamboo, I still hope to gain the recognition of the Everlife Wood.¡±

    Knowing Chen Mobai to be open-minded, Yin Qingmei did not beat around the bush and directly spoke her most genuine thoughts.


    ¡°Fair enough, my disciple has recently encountered some problems relating to her Heart and Mind, and requires the Pure Qi of the Pure Bamboo. If you¡¯re certain you won¡¯t choose it as your Destiny Spirit Plant, may I have it?¡±


    Feeling slightly embarrassed to ask but for the sake of his young disciple, Chen Mobai still made the request. Yin Qingmei assumed he meant Liu Wenbo or Zhuo Ming and without hesitation, promised that she would send the Pure Bamboo once they returned to the sect.


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve agreed, I¡¯ll go get it. I¡¯ll first pass on to you the parts of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture that cover Core Formation. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, or if you encounter anything strange during cultivation, you can always come to me for advice.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s first few words, Yin Qingmei was puzzled, but her attention was quickly captivated by the latter part, and she listened intently to the Immortality Scripture of Truth.

 Chapter 1053 - Chapter 1053 Chapter 576 Passing on the Scriptures_2

    Chapter 1053: Chapter 576: Passing on the Scriptures_2 Chapter 1053: Chapter 576: Passing on the Scriptures_2 The Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture truly lived up to its reputation as a method of achieving Divinity Transformation. When Chen Mobai was teaching it, there were some aspects that even he was puzzled about, until he consulted Elder Ming for enlightenment.


    ¡°Many thanks, Sect Leader, for clearing my doubts.¡±


    Yin Qingmei thought it was Chen Mobai¡¯s own comprehension and looked up to him with admiration and reverence.


    ¡°Hmm, since I happen to be free today, you can start transforming your spiritual power here. I will lend you a hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai chuckled dryly twice, inputted Yin Qingmei¡¯s latest physiological data into a model for extrapolation, and after confirming there were no issues, he asked her to sit cross-legged.


    Having complete trust in her sect leader, Yin Qingmei closed her eyes to sit in meditation, letting down all her guards, and began to transform her cultivation technique on the spot.


    Chen Mobai moved behind her, extended his right index finger, and lightly pressed it on the nape of Yin Qingmei¡¯s slender and pale neck. A surge of pure yang spiritual power then entered her, descending through the twelve serious layers inside her body and transforming into the Flame Lighting Technique.


    The Longevity Scripture was originally a simplified version of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, so there were no obstructions in the transformation of cultivated spiritual power.


    Moreover, since Chen Mobai had pre-calculated and had the assistance of the Flame Lighting Technique, there were no issues at all.


    However, Yin Qingmei was after all a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, and her spiritual power was both pure and vast. It took her a full three days and three nights to completely complete the transformation of her cultivation technique.


    ¡°I appreciate the efforts of the Sect Leader on my behalf!¡±


    After mastering the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, Yin Qingmei seemed to have an even better complexion. Her already fair skin took on an additional layer of translucent jade color. As she stood up to salute, her silver dress accentuated an ethereal and transcendent aura.


    It was not until now that Chen Mobai had actually noticed how beautiful Yin Qingmei was; perhaps he had been blinded by his preconceptions before, causing her elegance to be veiled.


    Now that her mental barriers were broken, her innate purity and freshness were fully evident.


    ¡°Your technique has just been transformed and still needs to be consolidated. However, if you want to grasp the true essence of this scripture, you must find a Destiny Spirit Plant.¡±


    After advising her briefly, Chen Mobai sent Yin Qingmei away.


    No sooner had Yin Qingmei departed than E Yun entered. He had completed the tasks assigned by Chen Mobai and came to report.


    ¡°Enrollment for Longevity Academy is proceeding smoothly. However, some cultivators do not have descendants, so there are wasted spots for cave dwelling enrolment. They asked if they could sell the spots to others without transferring the ownership of the cave dwellings.¡±


    ¡°Of course not, the entitlements of school-district housing must be tied to the cave dwellings. Only after being officially registered and transferred within the sect can one be eligible to enroll in Longevity Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai certainly could not open such a loophole. Moreover, wasted enrolment spots for the cave dwellings were actually a good thing for them, as it would save some educational resources.


    ¡°Sect Leader, there is also the matter of the special Genius Class you mentioned. After the word spread, some of those who bought cave dwellings had complaints.¡±


    ¡°This is the starting point to recruit all the talents of cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland. While we must take good care of those cultivators who bought cave dwellings, we also need to balance the interests of loose cultivators who cannot afford them; after all, the majority are the latter. If we lose their support and don¡¯t offer them a pathway to advancement, wouldn¡¯t we be pushing them towards the enemies of the Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai was confident that, once the Longevity Academy operated for a few years, other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland would soon follow suit.


    They might only see the superficial benefits of the school-district housing and imitate the Divine Wood Sect to make a fortune.


    But they fail to realize that the core of the policy is to provide an upward channel for all those with a Spiritual Root in the seven countries under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s influence, through education.


    As long as one is sufficiently talented, they can join the Genius Class of the Scholarly Mansion, and then be admitted into the Divine Wood Sect, step by step reaching the pinnacle of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.


    This is the essence of the Immortal Gate¡¯s educational system.


    By copying this approach, Chen Mobai was sure that as long as his new policies were implemented for a few terms, the Divine Wood Sect would swiftly grow stronger, while the other major sects of the Eastern Wasteland would find that the young men and women with Spiritual Roots under their command were dwindling.


    These people would aspire to Longevity Academy, and for the sake of pursuing immortality, they would traverse mountains and rivers just for a chance to enter the school.


    Everyone is full of hope. As long as they see the light of changing their destiny through their own efforts, everyone will unleash their greatest potential.


    Chen Mobai was sure that a hundred years from now, when the current Foundation Establishment practitioners in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions grow old, the majority of those rising in their place will be the graduates of Longevity Academy.


    To ensure that this initiative continued steadily, Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City for another month.


    Whenever he had time, he would go to the entrance of Longevity Academy and teach personnel from the sect¡¯s Transmission Division on how to become qualified teachers.


    At the same time, to motivate these Sect Disciples, he not only offered contribution points as a reward for their tasks but also added Spirit Rice as a welfare benefit. As long as they were teachers at Longevity Academy, he would provide them with Rank-1 premium Spirit Rice for three meals every day.


    If any Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Sect were willing to stay, he would even supply them with Rank-2 Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    Such generous conditions indeed filled all the mentoring division cultivators with drive.


    Even the few Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had come with him were very tempted.


    ¡°Sect Leader, may I stay here and be a teacher?¡±


    After a lecture that Chen Mobai had just finished, a young man with a slender build, long hair flowing loose, and bright eyes stayed behind to ask a question.


    His name was Jiang Zongheng, who had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm along with Zhuo Ming.


    Before Foundation Establishment, he was a true inheritor of the mentoring division; he chose this department reportedly because of his casual and unrestrained personality, and because the mentoring division was the most leisurely.


    But in reality, it was because Jiang Zongheng had not found his life¡¯s purpose.


    He came from a scholarly commoner family in Jian Country, and after his Spiritual Root was discovered, he was brought to the Divine Wood Sect. Then, with his exceptional talent, he easily achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, and to obtain the Foundation Building Pill, he opted for the mentoring division where competitive pressure was minimal.


    He passed the hurdle of Foundation Establishment on his first attempt.


    After emerging from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Jiang Zongheng had refined the Bi-Mu Spirit Heart. As long as he cultivated step by step, he felt certain that reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Phase before his natural lifespan ended would not be a problem, but he had no confidence whatsoever in achieving Core Formation.


    It was precisely because of this that Jiang Zongheng saw the end of his life path at a glance, feeling emptiness and indifference.


    While accompanying Chen Mobai on an inspection tour throughout the Eastern Wasteland, Jiang Zongheng kept pondering how he could give more substance to the rest of his life.


    Snow-blowing Palace, Golden Cliff, Back to Sky Valley, Five Elements Sect¡­


    Passing one East Wilderness Major Sect after another, his experiences broadened, but he still felt that the Eastern Wasteland was no different from the mundane mortal world.


    It was only that among mortals it was the killing and fighting between nations, the struggles for power, while in The Cultivation World, it was between Sects.


    Cultivators were said to be pursuing immortality, yet they were only mortals in possession of greater power.


    Jiang Zongheng, who grew up with the idea of ¡®harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world¡¯, felt nothing but disappointment and sorrow after following Chen Mobai through the entirety of the Eastern Wasteland.


    As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a high-ranking official, leading Jian Country to unify the Eastern Wasteland and change the troubled times; but after learning of the existence of cultivators, he realized that he could never fulfill that ideal.


    In the Eastern Wasteland, it would be good enough if he could just take care of himself.


    It was this great disparity and helplessness that made Jiang Zongheng lose his life goal.


    He thought he would spend his days like this in the Divine Wood Sect, perhaps dying one day in battle or on a mission, or, if lucky, living out a natural lifespan.


    Until he attended one of Chen Mobai¡¯s lectures out of boredom.


    Half a month later, Jiang Zongheng became the first cultivator to gain enlightenment on this educational system, feeling a surge of impulse unlike any he had experienced before.


    This Longevity Academy had the potential to realize his childhood dream!


    ¡°If you wish to stay, I would be very glad.¡±

    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Zongheng say this, as this Sect Disciple who he had brought out was naturally a genius, but throughout their journey, he had shown a rather dispirited personality.


    He had thought that Ding Ying and Li Yixian might remain, but he didn¡¯t expect that the first one to speak up would be him.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I will honor your will and use this Scholarly Mansion to change the entire Eastern Wasteland!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s originally calm expression was visibly shaken by Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that someone would see the true significance behind the founding of this Scholarly Mansion!

 Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054 Chapter 577 Evil Path Titan

    Chapter 1054: Chapter 577: Evil Path Titan Chapter 1054: Chapter 577: Evil Path Titan ¡°`


    This was the first time Chen Mobai took the initiative to ask for a disciple.


    The Divine Wood Sect members nearby were all incredibly shocked, looking at Jiang Zongheng with extremely envious eyes.


    ¡°Disciple pays respects to Master!¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s heart was also shocked, never expecting such an immense fortune to fall upon him, but he reacted quickly, bowing his head in worship!


    This was a Great Sage and Good Teacher, and every cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness would be honored to become his disciple.


    Jiang Zongheng was now a Foundation Establishment practitioner. He had little hope for Core Formation, but as Chen Mobai¡¯s personal disciple, he dared to aspire to it.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I also wish to stay.¡±


    Seeing this scene, other cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect couldn¡¯t restrain the opportunity to rise to the heavens in a single step and began to speak to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Hahaha, very good, very good.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally nodded in approval, but he did not mention taking disciples, leaving everyone visibly disappointed.


    In the following days, when Chen Mobai gave lectures, Jiang Zongheng, as a disciple, sat by his side.


    And after the lectures ended, when Chen Mobai left on the clouds, he would also take Jiang Zongheng with him.


    Whenever Yin Qingmei came to ask about the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, she would see Chen Mobai imparting wisdom and personal examples to Jiang Zongheng, which in the Eastern Wilderness meant passing on a legacy.


    Everyone envied Jiang Zongheng greatly, and many Foundation Establishment practitioners regretted why they hadn¡¯t been the first to stand up and say they wanted to stay and teach.


    If that were the case, they would have been the successor to Sect Master Chen¡¯s mantle.


    However, what they didn¡¯t know was that if it weren¡¯t for the will to change the Eastern Wilderness that Chen Mobai saw in Jiang Zongheng¡¯s eyes, even if he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Chen Mobai would not have taken him in.


    To carry on the past and forge the future!


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai felt he had left his mark on the Eastern Wilderness and even the entire Tianhe Realm, passing down the spirit and will from the Immortal Gate in this world.


    To establish virtue, to accomplish achievements, and to express thoughts!


    He had achieved ¡°expressing thoughts,¡± and hoped that eons later, when someone asked, ¡°Since ancient times, who has imparted the Tao?¡±, the people of the Eastern Wilderness would name him, the Great Sage and Good Teacher.


    That day, after Chen Mobai finished imparting all the teaching content, he began to pay attention to his new disciple¡¯s cultivation situation for the first time.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, I practice the Longevity Scripture and the Clear Spirit Technique related to Divine Sense, along with some common wooden spells.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng was the most ordinary kind of Foundation Establishment practitioner within the Divine Wood Sect, using the Spirit Stones distributed by the sect as they came, and spent most of his time cultivating in his cave dwelling.


    As for magic artifacts, he had bought a set of the most common Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword and Divine Wood Shield.


    As for elixirs, he used to buy and consume them, but after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation of the three barriers of Foundation Establishment, he spent those Spirit Stones on Spirit Rice instead.


    Because of this, his cultivation level did not rise quickly, and to this day, he was still at the early Foundation stage, far from showing any signs of breaking through to the middle Foundation stage.


    ¡°Haven¡¯t you practiced any Body Refining Technique?¡±


    As Chen Mobai asked, he let Jiang Zongheng send over some Spiritual Power.


    ¡°I have practiced the Wood Spirit Body, but it is only at Rank-1.¡±


    Cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness started to emphasize a balanced development of Essence, Qi, and Spirit only after Chen Mobai¡¯s expounding on the three barriers of Foundation Establishment.


    But even knowing the importance of this aspect, cultivators only had so much time and resources. Their cultivation would still prioritize certain aspects over others.


    Most still focused on improving their Spiritual Power and Spiritual Consciousness Realm, with physical training coming last.


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s Wood Spirit Body was practiced only before Foundation Establishment. After successfully establishing his foundation, as the breakthrough to the next realm seemed so distant, he had set this practice aside.


    At that moment, the Spirit-Testing Instrument in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm revealed Jiang Zongheng¡¯s Spirit Root Attributes.


    [Gold 17, Wood 42, Water 7, Fire 28, Earth 14].


    The total value of the Spirit Roots added up to 105, indicating that he may have consumed some heavenly and earthly treasures.


    ¡°Teaching is a very arduous task, one needs to have a strong and healthy body to manage, so don¡¯t slack in your Body Refining Technique.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s advice, Jiang Zongheng immediately nodded respectfully, indicating that he would practice diligently in the future.


    The good thing about the Eastern Wilderness was that disciples regarded their teachers¡¯ words as if they were divine.


    ¡°However, since your Wood Spirit Body is only at Rank-1, why not erase it and instead convert to practicing the Longevity Dao Body?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master, but to practice the Longevity Dao Body, one needs Longevity Tree Sap¡­¡±


    Jiang Zongheng hesitated, but Chen Mobai had already taken out a gourd from his storage bag and passed it to him, who immediately took it with both hands.


    ¡°Contained herein are one hundred drops of Longevity Tree Sap; take this to begin your practice. I will also pass on to you the Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique. After you¡¯ve used it up, return to the Sect and find me for more.¡±


    This gourd was Chen Mobai¡¯s stock, and the rest had been sent to Zeng Woyou to research and refine into Longevity Dew.


    ¡°Thank you, Master, for the generous gift!¡±

    Jiang Zongheng knew becoming Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple might shoot him to the heavens, but he never thought the precious Longevity Tree Sap would be bestowed so easily without any tests.


    ¡°Your Spiritual Power is filled with abundant Innate Yuan Qi; have you consumed any heavenly and earthly treasures?¡±


    Chen Mobai inquired, investigating the reason behind his new disciple¡¯s Spiritual Root Value exceeding 100 points.


    ¡°When I was a child, I was weak and sickly. My parents sent me to our ancestral land to recuperate, located in a small mountain village on the East Side of Jianguo. During one excursion in the mountains with friends, a dense fog suddenly descended, obscuring our direction.¡±

 Chapter 1055 - Chapter 1055 Chapter 577 A Titan of the Evil Path_2

    Chapter 1055: Chapter 577: A Titan of the Evil Path_2 Chapter 1055: Chapter 577: A Titan of the Evil Path_2 ¡°After parting ways with my companions, I unintentionally came upon a valley with streams, waterfalls, and two loquat trees bearing heavy fruits. Overcome by hunger, I picked and ate them all.¡±


    ¡°Strangely enough, after I finished the loquat fruits, the mountain fog suddenly disappeared, and then I descended the mountain. Since then, my body has been getting better and better, my mind more alert, and my studies have been effortlessly perfect.¡±


    With Jiang Zongheng¡¯s current Cultivation Realm, he naturally understood that those two loquat trees were certainly no ordinary trees. After his Foundation Establishment, he had returned to the ancestral land, but even after scouring the entire mountain range, he still couldn¡¯t find the valley he had stumbled into as a child.


    Now that Chen Mobai asked, he didn¡¯t hesitate to share this matter that had weighed on his mind for decades.


    ¡°Hmm, next time you come back to the sect to get Longevity Tree Sap, I¡¯ll accompany you to see if we can find those two loquat Spirit Trees.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help sighing at how rich the resources in the Eastern Wilderness truly were; even an inconspicuous mountain range contained a Spirit Tree.


    However, this also indicated that his new disciple was a person with good fortune.


    Next, Chen Mobai imparted to Jiang Zongheng both Longevity Dao Body and the Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique. The latter¡¯s understanding and talent did not disappoint, as he had basically grasped most of it after being taught once.


    After Chen Mobai personally guided him through the cultivation process once, Jiang Zongheng had already mastered all the intricacies.


    ¡°The Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique requires Green-sun Fire. Come and collect a fire seed in three days.¡±


    Because it was a Formless Puppet here now, it could only ignite Qingyang Fire Seeds through the Ignition Technique, but upon hearing this, Jiang Zongheng was still somewhat flabbergasted.


    The Longevity Tree Sap and Qingyang Fire Seeds, these two major Spiritual Objects, could be considered the signs of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Placing them in the Starry Sky Commerce Guild for auction would provoke a frenzy of competitive bidding.


    And now, just by becoming a disciple of Chen Mobai, Jiang Zongheng had easily obtained them, which made him feel his recent fortunes were perhaps excessively good.


    ¡°I¡¯m entrusting the Longevity Academy to you.¡±


    Three days later, after handing over a Qingyang Fire Seed to Jiang Zongheng, Chen Mobai patted his shoulder with a meaningful look and said.


    ¡°Disciple will definitely inherit the Master¡¯s will and not tarnish your name!¡±


    Jiang Zongheng solemnly paid his respects.


    ¡°E Yun, from now on, take good care of my junior disciple while he¡¯s here.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already shared the educational system of the Longevity Academy with Jiang Zongheng, planning to leave Rock Country.


    ¡°Sect Leader, you¡¯re too kind. Jiang Shidi and I should help each other out as comrades,¡± E Yun said modestly. With him and Jiang Zongheng guarding Northern Abyss City together, Chen Mobai could leave with peace of mind. Laughing heartily, he traveled using the Teleportation Array and left Rock Country.


    Apart from Jiang Zongheng, Lian Maozhi and Ding Ying also stayed at the Longevity Academy.


    Lian Maozhi stayed to emulate Jiang Zongheng after seeing him remain and be accepted as a disciple by Chen Mobai.


    As for Ding Ying, she primarily did not wish to return to her sect and conflict with Cao Lian, who is the head of the Talisman Making Department. Although she wasn¡¯t afraid now, she didn¡¯t want to waste time on cunning strategies and power struggles.


    Chen Mobai approved of their choices and even took the time to personally instruct them alongside Jiang Zongheng to get them up to speed on the educational aspects, as they intended to stay on as teachers.


    In the end, he also helped them with their cultivation questions. Although they were not formally taken as disciples like Jiang Zongheng, they nonetheless received direct guidance like that of a master and disciple.


    Having left Rock Country, Chen Mobai went to his final destination, the Rainbow Country.


    This place was an expansive desert. Before the Eastern Wilderness was opened up, everything on the surface that contained any life had already been devoured by Earth Spirit Locusts.


    However, after the locust plague had ceased, the potent Spirit Veins here evolved over thousands of years and gave rise to some oases, Spirit Mountains, and Spirit Pools.


    The most well-known is undoubtedly Liu Jia Mountain, which also has a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein.


    But Fu Zongjue had already promised that as long as the mountains were sealed, he would not touch a single grain of sand on Liu Jia Mountain in order to obtain the complete legacy of the mountain.


    So Chen Mobai arrived in front of the Liu Jia Mountain gate, took a while to soak in the rich Spiritual Energy here, and then left with the town guard of Rainbow Country, Yan Yuanhao.


    ¡°Huff, huff, huff¡­¡±


    Watching the departing figure of Chen Mobai in the sky above, Yu Changjian, the Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain, let out a long breath.


    He knew that, in the short span of just one incense stick¡¯s time, he had started regretting why he had driven Xu Shengbing away and why he had become the Sect Leader¡­


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze fell upon him, Yu Changjian¡¯s heart had even considered abandoning his fellow disciples and escaping by the Teleportation Array.


    Only now did he realize that, even with the Mountain Protection Array in place, facing a Golden Core Cultivator knocking at their door brought such immense pressure.


    He began to understand Xu Shengbing.


    A thought flashed through his mind: should he find his former Sect Leader brother and return the position to him?


    ¡­


    ¡°Ancestor, he¡¯s gone.¡±


    What Yu Changjian didn¡¯t know was that deep beneath Liu Jia Mountain there was a hidden Cave Dwelling, where Xu Shengbing was currently reporting to a towering and powerful Black-Robed Cultivator who sat on a stone dias.


    ¡°He¡¯s lucky. If the Divine Wood Sect had gone back on their word and attacked Liu Jia Mountain, I would have had to take action and turn this Chen Sect Leader to ash.¡±


    With his back to Xu Shengbing, the Black-Robed Cultivator sat at the core of the Liu Jia Shan Lingmai, holding a pitch-black stick in his hands, absorbing and exhaling the endless stream of Spiritual Energy. Above his head, an eerie and profound vortex shadow evolved, as if it connected the Netherworld Springs and was summoning the energy between the Underworld and the Living World, seemingly cultivating some earth-shattering Great Divine Power!


    ¡°Once the Ancestor¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul is perfected, it will be the time for Liu Jia Mountain to rule over the Eastern Wilderness. Then, all debts owed to Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s Five Elements Meridians will be settled!¡±


    Xu Shengbing was also suppressing his emotions, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth as he spoke.


    The humiliation he suffered from Fu Zongjue, who came knocking on their door demanding all their inheritance, was something he always kept in mind.


    And today, he felt the same disregard from the new Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, something Liu Jia Mountain had only experienced when facing Ancestor Hunyuan since they had established themselves in the Eastern Wilderness.


    These grudges, he imprinted on the Five Elements Meridians.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be long now, soon you will see this scene¡­¡±


    The Black-Robed Cultivator¡¯s tone was domineering and confident. The Rank-4 Spiritual Energy and the Yellow Spring Gas, after being transformed through the Soul Nourishing Wood, perfectly fused within his Ghost Fetus in the Womb, becoming a chilling and eerie Netherworld cold air. Clouds of black smoke billowed, causing his long robe to flutter and his black hair to scatter, while suddenly a layer of frost spread across the walls of the Cave Dwelling, the extremely low temperature causing Xu Shengbing to shiver uncontrollably.


    ¡°Ancestor, I shall take my leave now.¡±


    After Xu Shengbing left, the Black-Robed Cultivator turned his head around. His gaze was deep and indifferent, yet his face was incredibly young.


    His name was Yan Fusheng!


    In his lifetime, he was the undisputed top Golden Core Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Unfortunately, at the time of his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, he was attacked and defeated just short of victory. However, he used a chance he had obtained earlier to transform into a Ghost Cultivator and then ventured into the Yellow Springs Path, constantly seeking to elevate himself while looking for further possibilities.


    Up to this day, he had found the Soul Nourishing Wood and the method for Legal Body Nascent Soul, but regrettably, without the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, he could only resort to this crude method of extracting both Yin and Yang energies as a substitute.


    ¡°Damn that Golden Wind Ancestor, so close to death yet unwilling to lift a finger to help me refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Fusheng had once sent a Puppet to seek the aid of Golden Wind Ancestor, the number one Alchemist of the East Barbarians from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, as he was capable of refining the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    But since this was only required for transforming into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, with Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s lifespan nearing its end, how could he wish to have another Nascent Soul Cultivator with unknown origins appear by his side?


    Not only did he refuse, but he even turned hostile and attacked on the spot.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for Yan Fusheng¡¯s quick decision to self-destruct the Puppet, annihilating the Divine Sense within and severing the connection, he might have already been targeted and killed by the Golden Wind Ancestor.


    [After exterminating the Five Elements Meridians, I¡¯ll go to the East Barbarians and eradicate the Golden Wind Old Ghost along with everyone in the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace as well.]


    Yan Fusheng¡¯s eyes were cold, as he was already mentally prioritizing the order of the list of those he needed to settle scores with!

 Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056 578

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


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


    ¡°Sect Leader, beyond this point lies the Boundless Sand Sea, where the Earth Spirit Locusts have completely devoured all vitality, even consuming the Spirit Veins. Once a cultivator enters, they can¡¯t absorb an ounce of Spiritual Energy and must rely solely on Spirit Stones they carry to replenish themselves,¡±


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


    This was also the border of the Eastern Wilderness.


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


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


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk ahead; you wait here.¡±


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


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


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


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


    It was time to return.


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


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


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


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


    Although it can¡¯t be said to have fully recovered, where there is Spiritual Energy, there is the possibility of transforming heaven and earth.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


    Fortunately, he had an exceptionally talented disciple.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhuo Ming!


    Her talent was extremely suitable for this task.


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


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


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

 Chapter 1057 - Chapter 1057 Chapter 578 Virtue_2

    Chapter 1057: Chapter 578: Virtue_2 Chapter 1057: Chapter 578: Virtue_2 And it was of the highest quality¨Cthe Enlightenment Golden Core!


    If Zhuo Ming really could achieve this, there might even be a chance for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±!


    Could it be that his disciple¡¯s cultivation level will surpass his own in the future?


    The thought suddenly filled Chen Mobai with a sense of urgency.


    He immediately abandoned the idea of returning the same way he came; Yan Yuanhao was still waiting for him at the border.


    Upon their return, Chen Mobai instructed him to collect as many varieties and as large a quantity as possible of spirit plants that could survive in the Sand Sea. After all, if one wished to reclaim the desert, trees had to be planted.


    And these plants were best taken from the local area, for only those spirit plants which had survived the countless years of conflict with the Sand Sea could be the hope for desert reclamation.


    Although Yan Yuanhao did not understand Chen Mobai¡¯s command, he did whatever the Sect Leader said.


    In the Rainbow Country, the most remote and barren nation under Divine Wood Sect¡¯s domain, it was extremely difficult for him to make a name for himself. Now that the Sect Leader had given him a task, he was determined to accomplish it by any means necessary.


    Although Rainbow Country had the most expansive territory, Chen Mobai¡¯s inspection there was the shortest¨Che had walked around the border, took some sand, and then set off with the people from the Divine Wood Sect to return.


    On the way back, he deliberately chose a route that passed through Frost Country and Snow Country, which were on the way to the Snow-blowing Palace.


    After hearing the news, Lan Lingping specifically brought Xue Ting and Bai Cai to meet them and hosted them all the way from the Frost Country.


    Three days later, after seeing Chen Mobai and his group off at the border of Snow Country, Lan Lingping finally let her tense heart and mind relax.


    She had thought that ¡°that matter¡± had been discovered.


    ¡°From now on, we should pay more attention to the Snow-blowing Palace. Also, if anyone is found crossing the border, they should be apprehended immediately.¡±


    After returning to Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai, who was hiding in the Longevity Wood Dojo with his real body, retrieved his Formless Puppet and, after reviewing the experiences of the past period, summoned Yue Zutao to give him instructions.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yue Zutao was aware of the new governance unifying the Eastern Wilderness, so Chen Mobai did not conceal anything from him. He asked him to collect intelligence on the two countries under Snow-blowing Palace and to also devise a plan on how to seize control of this East Wilderness Major Sect in the most time and effort-efficient way possible.


    After that, Chen Mobai dealt with various matters that had accumulated at the Sect during his absence. Although he had returned quite early, to prevent the rest of the power factions in the Eastern Wilderness from learning about the existence of the Formless Puppet, he had always stayed hidden, assisting Luo Yixuan in suppressing the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power.


    Only Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue were aware of his return.


    He did not hide Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation, openly discussing it with both of them.


    They had never faced such a situation before and were at a loss.


    Chen Mobai also told Fu Zongjue about the possibility of Hong He practicing demonic cultivation. Upon hearing this, the latter¡¯s face changed instantly, and he almost went straight out to purge the Sect.


    However, Zhou Shengqing and Chen Mobai stopped him, considering it was only a possibility.


    ¡°We can¡¯t allow our Sect to be in a position where the Jiutian Dangmo Sect could come knocking on our door. It would be better to handle this matter in advance.¡±


    Fu Zongjue was not prejudiced against demonic cultivation, but within the Six Domains of the Eastern Earth, the name of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was just too notorious. Countless Sects had been associated with devil cultivators or had members practicing demonic cultivation, which led to a visit from this Holy Land of the Eastern Earth.


    Even if it was later clarified that practicing demonic cultivation was an individual act, once visited by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, the Sect would become an attractive target for all Rogue Cultivators.


    Because attacking such a Sect was considered exorcising evil and defending the Dao!


    In the Eastern Earth, the number of Nascent Soul Major Factions that had perished due to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was no less than double digits.


    While Divine Wood Sect was located in the remote area of the Eastern Wilderness, if Hong He was really caught red-handed practicing demonic cultivation and the hostile forces reported it to the Eastern Earth Holy Land, even if they had to cut off their own arm to survive, they might still end up targeted by the Nascent Soul Major Factions of the East Barbarians.


    The Baiwu Ancestor from Sun Bathing Sea may even, in an effort to dissociate from the situation, use the excuse of purging for Ancestor Hunyuan and join forces with the Golden Wind Ancestor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to come and annihilate the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Then take the opportunity to persuade Hong He to back off,¡± Zhou Shengqing decided at last, showing his regret for the situation. ¡°However, since he has indeed earned merits for the sect, compensate him generously with more Spirit Stone resources when the time comes.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing eventually made the decision, and he did so with heavy regret.


    After all, besides Yin Qingmei with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, the one most likely to achieve Core Formation in the next generation was this very Hong He.


    But the hidden dangers of practicing demonic cultivation are more than the Divine Wood Sect can bear.


    ¡°Leave this matter to me,¡± Chen Mobai offered. ¡°In the future, the sect may engage in some unsavory affairs not suitable for us to handle directly. If Hong He¡¯s mind hasn¡¯t been corrupted by the demonic cultivation, we can guide him to become a shadow that protects the sect from within the darkness.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue agreed completely with Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal, as the witchcraft division within the Divine Wood Sect essentially played this role.


    If there were additional cultivators hidden in the shadows, it would naturally be better for the Divine Wood Sect.


    Another reason was that Luo Yixuan might also practice demonic cultivation in the future; this was perhaps Chen Mobai paving a path for his disciple in advance.


    Chen Mobai also told Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue about this matter truthfully.


    ¡°Junior Brother, if you are to exchange blows with the magic Daoist monk at Yun Meng Ze, you could look for Junior Brother Nu Jiang and I will send a message to Junior Brother Mo. The three of you working together should be very stable and reliable.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s intentions to find Tu Daohua and immediately shared his own thoughts.


    ¡°That would be best, and it¡¯s quite coincidental; when my puppet body was in Yun Country, I also encountered Senior Brother Nu Jiang¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai initially planned to invite Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue; after all, although he had the Purple Electric Sword, he wasn¡¯t sure how strong the demonic ghost cultivator¡¯s abilities were, so it was safest to have a full complement of companions, three against one.


    If Nu Jiang, who was the local authority, was willing to help, the situation would be even more assured.


    First, however, they had to locate Tu Daohua.


    And of course, it would be best not to practice demonic cultivation if it could be avoided.


    Chen Mobai planned to look for other ways within the Immortal Gate to address Luo Yixuan¡¯s current issue.


    Finding Tu Daohua proved simpler than anticipated.


    Chen Mobai released a Formless Puppet once again and took Elder Ming to Yun Meng Ze, where they discovered he was still on the same island as before.


    But the trouble was that the island had been carefully managed by Tu Daohua for a long period, and he had even set up a Rank-4 Large Formation, capable of withstanding even a Nascent Soul Cultivator for some time.


    If the three of them struck, they would likely alert the enemy and give Tu Daohua the chance to flee before the formation could be breached.


    Having learned this, Chen Mobai had no choice but to suppress his urge to act immediately and wait for the right opportunity.


    He left dozens of puppet fish, sensitive to the fluctuations of the Spirit Vein, in the waters nearby the island, using techniques from the Immortal Gate meant for detecting undersea volcanoes or shifts in the earth¡¯s veins.


    Should there be any sign of the island¡¯s formation being activated, these would detect it.


    For this purpose, Chen Mobai specifically acquired a Rank-2 Heavenly Calculation Bead from the Immortal Gate to place in Yun Meng Ze, close to the site, for the Divine Wood Sect Monk stationed there to monitor. At any unusual signals from the puppet fish, they were to notify him immediately.


    ¡°Sainted Heir, actually, I could feign possession of your disciple¡¯s body, pretending to have successfully overtaken her, then visit under this guise. When he opens the formation to welcome me, you three can strike from the shadows¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Elder Ming came up with a plan, but Chen Mobai shook his head and refused.


    After all, doing so could potentially put Luo Yixuan in a precarious situation, and he was not willing to risk his disciple¡¯s life for an unsure gamble.


    ¡°Have you had contact with the Demon Path?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve encountered each other at a few trade meetings organized by Tu Daohua, but we were both very cautious, leaving no trace behind.¡±


    Elder Ming spoke truthfully, and after hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared disappointed. He had hoped there might be an opportunity for Hong He, after leaving the Divine Wood Sect, to mix with the Demon Path and then find a way to make contact with Tu Daohua.

 Chapter 1058 - Chapter 1058 Chapter 579 Returning to the Great Dao Tree

    Chapter 1058: Chapter 579: Returning to the Great Dao Tree Chapter 1058: Chapter 579: Returning to the Great Dao Tree This day, a guest arrived at Giant Tree Ridge, with skin white as snow and delicate, dignified features. Not long after she announced her sect, Yin Qingmei came out to greet her, riding on Spiritual Light.


    ¡°Sister Qu, please come this way. The Sect Leader is waiting for you in Shenmu Hall,¡± Yin Qingmei said.


    The visitor was Qu XiuXian of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    In the past, in Back to Sky Valley, Yin Qingmei had followed beside Chen Mobai, and the two had met once, so she was sent to lead the way.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, these are the thirty strands of Green Wood Evil collected by our Commerce Association!¡±


    Having arrived at Shenmu Hall and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qu XiuXian respectfully presented a Bronze Pot.


    Yin Qingmei, upon Chen Mobai¡¯s nod, took the pot and passed it on.


    ¡°You have gone through much trouble, Niece Qu.¡±


    Chen Mobai opened the mouth of the pot and glanced at the thick Evil Qi inside, nodding with satisfaction. He thanked Qu XiuXian and then paid her thirty thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°It was only right. Additionally, here are two jade slips that my master instructed me to bring.¡±


    After completing the transaction of Green Wood Evil, the two turned to discuss another matter.


    The Heterodox Golden Core Technique and the Golden Core Transposition Technique!


    Chen Mobai was quite curious about the cultivation techniques recorded in the jade slips. He learned that these were originally talismans used by the Holy Lands of the Eastern Earth to pass down their most valuable secret techniques. However, some of these Holy Lands disbanded later on, and so the method of the jade slips spread.


    After the Star Heaven Dao Sect learned about it, they converted most of the sect¡¯s cultivation technique content into jade slips.


    Calling it a jade slip, in reality, it was a simple form two fingers wide, palm-length, shaped like a small bamboo scroll, engraved with complicated patterns, like intertwining vines or fine flowers. However, if one observed with Divine Sense, they would discover that these patterns were tiny texts impossible to see with the naked eye.


    Only those who had cultivated Divine Sense could clearly see these jade slips, and they required the correct method for reading as well.


    Chen Mobai finally managed to link the contents of the two jade slips together, following Qu XiuXian¡¯s guidance.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This could indeed be promoted within the sect.¡±


    After trying it out, Chen Mobai felt that the method of the jade slips was very convenient. It preserved content for much longer than traditional books, was easy to carry, and planned to popularize it within the Divine Wood Sect. He also intended to sort out the sect¡¯s disorganized inheritance of cultivation techniques and create a classified and systematic library like the one at the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°This method of the jade slips was originally brought down from the Upper Realm by Immortals, used to store the true meanings of the Great Dao and the profound mysteries of Dao rhythm. However, such jade slips that are Immortal books, are now rarely seen throughout the entire Eastern Earth,¡± said Qu XiuXian, sharing stories she had heard within her sect, and then proudly stated that the Star Heaven Dao Sect possessed one.


    Recorded on this Immortal book jade slip was their sect¡¯s foundation technique of condensing the ¡°Three Lights Divine Water.¡±


    Considering Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation could be resolved with the Three Lights Divine Water, Chen Mobai followed Qu XiuXian¡¯s conversation with a few words of admiration, then inquired about this divine water to see if it could be purchased.


    Unfortunately, even the Holy Lands of the Eastern Earth scrambled to buy it, and Sect Elder Yu Shuji, a master of cultivating Spirit Plants, was also in line. Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator from the distant Eastern Wilderness, didn¡¯t even need to entertain the thought.


    ¡°This is the Monster Beast Inner Pill that I promised to Master Yu. Please take good care of it, Niece Qu.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the agreed upon Mother Locust¡¯s inner pill to Qu XiuXian, who accepted it solemnly, placing it into a Jade Box and sealing it with a cyan Talisman.


    ¡°This item is precious, and I need to deliver it to my master as soon as possible. I hope I may use your sect¡¯s Teleportation Array to leave,¡± Qu XiuXian requested, after receiving the goods.


    Upon receiving her things, Qu XiuXian promptly bade her farewell. Chen Mobai nodded, called over Xie Yuntian from the Sword Training department, and had him escort her out of Jian Country.


    Although the Star Heaven Dao Sect had a great reputation, Rog ue Cultiv ators were always lawless in the Tianhe Realm. Should the news leak and someone manages to snatch away the inner pill on his turf, it would be a disgrace for him as the leader of the Divine Wood Sect.


    After receiving the assignment, Xie Yuntian also took three Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Sword Training department along.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Qu XiuXian also showed a face full of gratitude. Yu Shuji was currently overseeing the situation in Flower Country, making sure no other Mother Locusts were lurking.


    Since Jian Country bordered Flower Country, once Qu XiuXian left Jian Country and entered Flower Country, she no longer needed to worry about Rog ue Cultiv ators.


    Yin Qingmei escorted the group to the sect¡¯s Teleportation Array. After seeing them off, she returned to Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I¡¯ve adjusted well and can go to the Secret Realm anytime,¡± reported Yin Qingmei, looking hopeful towards Chen Mobai.

    After returning to the sect, Chen Mobai told Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue about teaching the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, and they were both very pleased.


    After all, Chen Mobai had obtained the Longevity Scripture, and it required his approval before it could be passed on to Yin Qingmei.


    Zhou Shengqing even suggested letting Yin Qingmei attempt a spiritual connection with his Everlife Wood. If she succeeded, the wood could be granted in the name of the sect, becoming her Destiny Spirit Plant.


    Given that Zhou Shengqing was currently unable to cultivate and the transformation into a Legal Body Nascent Soul was still uncertain, he proposed to make the best use of the wood in line with the principle of not wasting resources.


    Chen Mobai praised Zhou Shengqing for his selflessness, and Fu Zongjue was also very thankful since Yin Qingmei was his disciple.

 Chapter 1059 - Chapter 1059 Chapter 579 Returning to the Great Dao Tree_2

    Chapter 1059: Chapter 579: Returning to the Great Dao Tree_2 Chapter 1059: Chapter 579: Returning to the Great Dao Tree_2 This was the best choice, but if Zhou Shengqing hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to mention it, the two of them wouldn¡¯t have brought it up at all.


    Regrettably, after Yin Qingmei returned to the sect, she sat quietly in front of the Everlife Wood for a month, yet she failed to receive any response whatsoever.


    This meant that the Everlife Wood was unwilling to become her Destiny Spirit Plant.


    Latter, Yin Qingmei tried to communicate with some Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Trees at Giant Tree Ridge, and only a very few responded; most ignored her altogether.


    Chen Mobai asked Elder Ming about this, and she said it was a normal phenomenon: Spirit Plants inherently had weak sentience and were among the most difficult beings to achieve dao.


    Many of them could not understand the meaning of what is called symbiotic evolution.


    From their birth, what is etched deep within their souls is the unceasing quest to absorb water and nutrients to grow. As for the so-called symbiosis with human cultivators, they would only instinctively weigh the pros and cons.


    In the eyes of a Rank-4 Everlife Wood, a mere Foundation Establishment practitioner, once bound in symbiosis, would only end up parasitizing on it, siphoning its nutrients and energy to bolster themselves, offering no benefits to the tree at all.


    The Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Trees felt the same way, with only a rare few in their twilight years or those who had just leveled up, sensing the pure and rich Wood Qi within Yin Qingmei, and thinking it possible to advance further with her in symbiosis, hence they responded.


    Yin Qingmei was very disappointed by this, yet she still hoped to follow Chen Mobai into the Divine Tree Secret Realm to try with the other three Everlife Woods.


    ¡°Meditate beneath this tree, and remember not to wander around aimlessly.¡±


    Chen Mobai activated the Wooden Sword key bestowed by the sect¡¯s inheritance to open the Divine Tree Secret Realm and took Yin Qingmei to the Magic Treasure Tree first, inviting her to calmly attempt to communicate there.


    After leaving her there, Chen Mobai took advantage of the time to check on his Green Paulownia Seedling that he cultivated in this place.


    He had planted this Spirit Plant here for over twenty years now, and it had been encircled by a Spirit Gathering Array he had set up. Beneath the rich Spiritual Energy and vapor, it had already grown into a towering tree over ten meters high.


    There used to be a Devouring Heaven Serpent here, but Chen Mobai took it out one day and placed it in his Longevity Wood Dojo. Zhuo Ming would come to feed it when she had time.


    Every once in a while, the head of the Spirit Beast Department, Ma Wuniang, would also make a special trip to check on the growth of the Divine Snake of Elder Chen and even concoct some food suitable for the growth of snake species.


    Compared to its former diet of just leaves, the Devouring Heaven Serpent was now thoroughly enjoying itself, lethargically coiled on the branches of the Everlife Wood, basking in the sun.


    This was the advantage of being a patriarch; Chen Mobai merely had to give the order, and there were plenty of people below to take care of these trivial matters for him.


    If not for the fact that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was exceptionally suitable for the growth of Divine Wood, Chen Mobai would even have considered transplanting the Green Paulownia Seedling to Giant Tree Ridge for Zhuo Ming, a specialist, to take care of it.


    Now it could no longer be called a seedling, but a Phoenix Tree Spirit Tree.


    This Spirit Tree had huge potential, but under Chen Mobai¡¯s laissez-faire approach, it didn¡¯t grow quickly. Even in these highly favorable conditions, after more than twenty years, it was still only a top-grade Rank-1.


    To the current him, this Spirit Tree was really of no use, and he was even thinking that if Yin Qingmei was willing, he could give her the Biyu Wutong.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, he had not heard of any Spirit Plant that could level up indefinitely.


    Having checked the Biyu Wutong, Chen Mobai buried a few Spirit Stones into its roots and continued to leave it to grow wild in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He then went to the lumberyard he had set up in this area.


    The Puppet factory at the Immortal Gate took many Spirit Woods that were chopped down from here. Chen Mobai had crafted some Puppets that continuously chopped, transported, and stacked wood day and night in this place.


    When he had time, he would come here to transport these Spirit Woods to the factory at the Immortal Gate using Turtle Treasure.


    After a decade and a half of relentless chopping, what used to be a dense and verdant forest now had a conspicuously bald patch.


    However, as the Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect and Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, the Divine Tree Secret Realm was now his own property to chop as he pleased.


    After all, earning Spirit Stones to buy resources for cultivation was his top priority for now. When he no longer cared for Spirit Stones and Good Deed Points in the future, Chen Mobai would start to protect the Spirit Wood resources.


    In this bald area, two Qingyang Spirit Trees still stood tall and noticeable among the rest.


    The Puppets here were only Rank-1 and were incapable of chopping down Rank-2 Spirit Woods.


    Chen Mobai personally took action and chopped down the two Qingyang Spirit Trees.


    After so many years of exploration, his puppet factory had achieved balance between the Immortal Gate and the Eastern Wilderness.


    Ninety percent of the products were listed in the Little Nan Mountain Shop, with only the remaining ten percent being sold at the Immortal Gate. After deducting the expenses and loans for his two factories, he could still earn about twenty million Good Deed Points each year.


    Although compared to other Golden Core Masters, his earning speed could only be considered above average, all of Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation resources were obtained from the Eastern Wilderness, so these Good Deed Points were increasing day by day, as long as there were no expenditures.


    Just wait until he accumulated a billion, and then he would buy a Void Blind Box to open.


    After a hard half-month of work, having sent all the spirit wood accumulated in the logging field to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai, carrying a million talisman papers produced by his puppet factory in the first half of the year, returned to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    When he flew to the Talent Tree, he saw Yin Qingmei with a worried and frowning face.


    ¡°Sect Leader, can you give me some more time?¡±


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking, if she could refine either the Talent Tree or the Magic Treasure Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm into her Destiny Spirit Plant, then the inheritance or treasures hidden within could all belong to the Divine Wood Sect.


    But the ideal is beautiful, while reality is cruel.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you to another Everlife Wood location.¡±


    Chen Mobai still gave Yin Qingmei one last chance, taking her to where the Talent Tree was, and also took out a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots he had prepared earlier.


    Although Yin Qingmei was confused, she obediently finished the plate of bamboo shoots.


    ¡°You can try touching the Talent Tree again, maybe there will be an unexpected gain.¡±


    These jade bamboo shoots could enhance a Wood Spirit Root, and Yin Qingmei¡¯s spiritual power had also been converted, so it was very possible that, just like him, she could pluck some benefits from the Talent Tree.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, although Yin Qingmei still did not understand why she had to eat bamboo shoots, she knew the Sect Leader was looking out for her best interest and immediately showed her gratitude with a deep bow.


    ¡°Cultivate well here, and I¡¯ll come to pick you up in half a month.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the opportunity to explore the vicinity of the Great Dao Tree.


    Of course, he would not take risks in person.


    It was still the old method, driving a Formless Puppet with his Divine Sense.


    With a feeling of inexplicable emotion, Chen Mobai once again saw the towering Great Dao Tree that stretched into the clouds.


    After many years, it was still deeply rooted and lush, and its strong and resilient trunk that seemed as tough as steel, now bore a deep sword mark that wasn¡¯t there before.


    It was made by the Purple Electric Sword!


    After observing for a while, Chen Mobai, driving the Formless Puppet, approached the Great Dao Tree.


    With the Divine Sense of his current Golden Core Stage, this puppet could unleash its maximum power, but he carefully controlled the Formless Puppet to stop at just ten steps, being very cautious.


    However, the Great Dao Tree seemed to sense that he still had reserve strength, and didn¡¯t respond.

    Chen Mobai¡¯s true form, watching from a distance, slightly furrowed his brows, then released the Spiritual Barrier of the Formless Puppet, allowing the suppressive might of the Great Dao Tree to impact it, showing that his Divine Sense was beginning to dissipate.


    Soon after, a piece of green leaf fell from the Great Dao Tree, making contact with the Divine Sense within the Formless Puppet.


    A vast and majestic thought merged into it, forming the words that Chen Mobai had long dreamed of hearing.


    [Ten steps before the Great Dao Tree, a high-quality achievement, qualifying as a True Disciple of the Longevity Sect.]


    [A True Disciple may be empowered with a higher realm of Grand Spells. Please choose the Grand Technique you wish to sense and comprehend.]


    He could pluck the benefits again!


    The distant true form of Chen Mobai, feeling the information transmitted from the Divine Sense inside the Formless Puppet, couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.

 Chapter 1060 - Chapter 1060 Chapter 580 A Sliver of Severing Heavens

    Chapter 1060: Chapter 580: A Sliver of Severing Heavens, Longevity Sword Intent Chapter 1060: Chapter 580: A Sliver of Severing Heavens, Longevity Sword Intent ¡°`


    Chen Mobai had always been an advocate for the philosophy of Realms, so given the chance to ascend, he would definitely choose his most powerful spell.


    But what was his most powerful one?


    Sunflame Slash or Sword Light Transformation?


    Chen Mobai found himself in the pleasant dilemma.


    After pondering for a long time, Chen Mobai suddenly slapped his forehead.


    What is there to think about? After the Empowerment, couldn¡¯t he just start over?


    He could have them all!


    Thus, he first performed the ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± Realm.


    As a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius, it had been a long time since he had improved in the Sword Dao Realm, and it was necessary to reinforce his persona.


    The Five Elements Sword Light evolved and struck the main trunk of the Great Dao Tree.


    [The Longevity Sect¡¯s Twenty-Four Grand Spells, none include this Sword Light.]


    A familiar message echoed in his mind as Chen Mobai waited expectantly for the Great Dao Tree¡¯s next move.


    But it seemed the realm of ¡°Sword Light Transformation¡± was a bit too high; after a long wait, just when Chen Mobai thought he had failed, the Great Dao Tree¡¯s luxuriant branches, eclipsing the sky with their leaves, suddenly allowed a thread of light to pierce through.


    This beam of light, like a precious sword, burst forth with endless luster, initially dazzling and blinding as if slashed from the boundless heights of the void, but after passing through the Great Dao Tree, it gradually softened, becoming like a docile ribbon, seeping through the gaps of the leaves, covering the Formless Puppet.


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was enveloped by this thread of Sword Light, his eyes saw nothing but the Great Dao Tree.


    A Sword Intent far surpassing his own realm entered his Sea of Knowledge, seemingly representing the thriving life force of the universe, the Great Dao of Longevity.


    [Bestowing upon you the ¡®Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing¡¯!]


    As the Sword Intent merged with Chen Mobai, the Great Dao Tree¡¯s thought message also resonated in his Sea of Knowledge.


    At the same time, the Divine Sense Chen Mobai had left within the Formless Puppet seemed unable to bear the pouring in of this Sword Intent, beginning to disintegrate and melt.


    Just as Chen Mobai thought his Divine Sense was about to be damaged, he found his perspective suddenly shifted.


    He seemed like a towering giant, looking down upon the air and the earth, with the humming noise of the trembling leaves coming to him, finally revealing the truth.


    He had actually become the Great Dao Tree!


    Chen Mobai, with the desire to move but only being able to stir the atmosphere into the wind, watched as his own leaves undulated like waves, with strands of Sword Light pouring out from a mysterious place in the void above the treetop, passing through the leaves of various shapes and producing a spectrum of colors, as if the Sword Light had dyed the leaves into colorful patterns.


    Patterns that seemed to hide some earth-shattering Sword Intent; Chen Mobai wished to see them more clearly but found that the Sword Light had already passed through him, dropping to the ground on the Formless Puppet.


    Without the Sword Light, the leaves became green and lush once again¡­


    Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts shifted again, as if he had returned to a distant past, when all things were in chaos, and a tender green sprout quietly emerged, reviving amidst heaven and earth, yearning for a thread of vitality.


    And just as Chen Mobai wished to feel more clearly, he found that no matter how he tried, he couldn¡¯t see clearly¨Chis realm was not enough; he could go no further.


    Time passed unknowingly, and Chen Mobai¡¯s perspective shifted again. He felt himself continuously swaying, with the sound of rushing water; he had turned into a branch floating in the river.


    Yet unexpectedly, he wasn¡¯t carried away by the current. Spider webs spun from fine threads were wrapped around the branch, entwining it with a large tree on the bank. They appeared soft and feeble but held him, preventing his disappearance into the vast watershed.


    Looking up, a colorful spider was hopping back and forth on a vertical thread above, glancing around; on the river surface, spirited fish freely stretched their bodies amid the interplay of stream and sunlight, seemingly without a care in the world.


    Chen Mobai, as the branch, amidst the stream and spider web, fish and sunlight, felt an indescribably vigorous life force welling up within his branch, sprouting the first green leaf.


    When Chen Mobai woke up, ten days had already passed.


    This Longevity Sword Intent had even influenced his original body!


    To prevent any possible possession by a Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Spiritual Sense or the like, Chen Mobai immediately sat down and activated his Lifespan Artifact, the Pure Yang Bell.


    This artifact specialized in guarding the Sea of Knowledge and resisting the Heart Demon. If anything from the outside tried to invade his Purple Mansion, it would unleash its most powerful force.


    After confirming that there were no signs of intrusion into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    He looked towards the Great Dao Tree, where the Formless Puppet lay.


    Taking out an ordinary Blue Sun Puppet from his Storage Bag, Chen Mobai maneuvered it to pull the Formless Puppet out with a rope.


    After a thorough check and confirming there were no issues with the Formless Puppet, he couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    Making another one of those things would be a real hassle.


    He opened the head of the Formless Puppet and removed the core, the Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Chen Mobai let his Divine Sense overflow, beginning to absorb all the data stored within it, and then, he discovered that three distinct and clear memories had formed within his Heart and Mind.


    Those were the scenes of him transforming into the Great Dao Tree, the sprout, the branch, along with an indescribable, magnificent Sword Intent, deeply imprinted in his Sea of Knowledge.

 Chapter 1061 - Chapter 1061 Chapter 580 A Ray of Severing Heavens Longevity

    Chapter 1061: Chapter 580: A Ray of Severing Heavens, Longevity Sword Intent_2 Chapter 1061: Chapter 580: A Ray of Severing Heavens, Longevity Sword Intent_2 [Severing Heavens with a Single Thread, Longevity Sword Intent!]


    Is this higher realm of the Sword Dao what comes after Sword Light Shapeshifting?


    Chen Mobai was very puzzled about this.


    After all, the path of birthing ten thousand laws with one sword is so elusive that even within the Immortal Gate, only a handful of individuals have stepped onto its threshold.


    Zuo Gong once said that after Sword Light Shapeshifting, one must achieve Sword Meaning Formation and Clear Heart of Sword!


    So what the Great Dao Tree bestowed upon him now, was it Sword Intent?


    Chen Mobai felt it should be, but he always had a headache when it came to pondering over things that required mental effort. Although the Sword Intent had been granted to him, he had no clue how to use it or what its function could be.


    It seemed that he would need to ask Elder Ming after leaving.


    Because this was the inheritance land of the Longevity Sect, Chen Mobai was very cautious. Fearing that as a disciple of the Longevity Sect she could manipulate the Great Dao Tree here or some other secret powers of the Longevity Sect that he did not know of, he decided not to bring her in, just to be safe.


    After finishing his deliberations, Chen Mobai planned to leave.


    But then he remembered that the time he had promised Yin Qingmei had not yet come.


    After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mobai looked towards the Great Dao Tree not far away, which had regained its solemnity and stood majestic like a pillar.


    He took out a top-grade Spirit Stone and inserted it into the Formless Puppet, preparing for the second Longevity trial.


    The empowerment from the Great Dao Tree just now had actually exhausted the previous whole Spirit Stone.


    It was clear that an empowerment of Rank-4 indeed could not be compared with that of a Rank-3.


    This time, Chen Mobai chose the Flame Sun Slash!


    The Formless Puppet evolved the Golden Flame from the complete mastery of the Red Flame Sword Art and struck the tree trunk of the Great Dao Tree heavily, carving a dark scorched mark beside the deep sword wound left by the Purple Electric Sword.


    About this, Chen Mobai was still somewhat apprehensive; after all, the Great Dao Tree could not recognize the spells from the Pure Yang Scroll previously and could not bestow empowerment.


    He was deeply afraid that the Flame Sun Slash would be the same.


    Fortunately, the outcome was pleasing.


    This ¡°Flame Sun Slash¡± did not exceed the heritage of the Longevity Sect. A white-gold leaf fell from the branches of the Great Dao Tree, burning with intense flame, and merged into the Divine Sense of Chen Mobai, who was controlling the Formless Puppet.


    Similarly, this stream of Divine Sense could not withstand the complete Rank-4 Dao Rhyme and, after struggling for a while, was melted by the white-gold flame.


    However, this time his true body woke up after just three days.


    Chen Mobai opened the Formless Puppet¡¯s head with an expectant heart, but the scene that followed caused his expression to drastically change.


    The Heavenly Calculation Bead had cracked, showing fissures as if it reached its limit and could no longer bear the pressure.


    Indeed, greed leads to biting off more than one can chew.


    Chen Mobai sighed, yet he was also very relieved that he had chosen to receive the Rank-4 empowerment through a puppet, and the Heavenly Calculation Bead had taken the brunt. Otherwise, taking on the Longevity Sword Intent and Extreme Sun Slash back-to-back might have been too much for his Divine Sense to endure, possibly even causing damage to the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    It was a pity because he had originally planned to upgrade all of his spell techniques like the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and others to Rank-4.


    But now it seemed that he would have to postpone those plans for a while.


    He needed to go to the Immortal Gate and get more Heavenly Calculation Beads or something more advanced like core chips.


    Although he was a bit regretful, with the Divine Tree Secret Realm in his possession and no longer under the threat of the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Divine Sense, the Great Dao Tree was basically his for the taking, so he calmed his mind.


    With a few days left until his appointment with Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai found a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree, sat down on the dragon-like roots emerging from the ground, grasped the Heavenly Calculation Bead with cracks in his hand, and closed his eyes in meditation.


    This Heavenly Calculation Bead was the highest-grade one he possessed; he had it custom-made as a Rank-3 by the Repairing Heaven Institute to upgrade his puppet factory.


    Considering the exploration of the Great Dao Tree, where many tasks would require the use of puppets, Chen Mobai brought it along.


    Only with the Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead could the Formless Puppet fully unleash its power.


    Even so, in the face of the Rank-4 inheritance of the Longevity Sect, it was still somewhat underpowered.


    The fact that it only developed cracks after accepting two Rank-4 inheritances of the Longevity Sword Intent and Extreme Sun Slash already demonstrated the exquisite craftsmanship of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai fused his Divine Sense with the Heavenly Calculation Bead and began to comprehend and grasp the Extremely Sun Slash, starting with the simpler one.


    Although he had already mastered the Red Flame Sword Art, much of the Rank-4 content was still only his speculation.


    The nine slashes of the Flame Sun Slash converged into one, and with the condensation of the Great Sun Fire, the fusion of the two established the foundation for the Extreme Sun Slash.


    Chen Mobai felt quite confident about the Flame Sun Slash, but the latter two still required trials to see if they were correct.


    However, after receiving the Empowerment from the Great Dao Tree, he no longer needed to try.


    Because all the correct answers were already laid out before him.


    All he needed to do was to follow the steps, and he would be able to execute the Extreme Sun Slash!


    Indeed, when it comes to cultivation, nothing beats Empowerment!


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes with satisfaction.


    It¡¯s just a pity that after the Heavenly Calculation Bead evolved the Extreme Sun Slash for his enlightenment once more, another crack appeared.


    With a look of distress, he resolved that unless he faced an insurmountable problem in the future, he would not use this Heavenly Calculation Bead to seek answers again.


    This enlightenment of the Extreme Sun Slash had actually taken a whole month.


    He had already gone beyond the time he had agreed with Yin Qingmei.


    Chen Mobai hurriedly rushed over, but Yin Qingmei actually hoped he would appear later.


    Because she was still trying to Commune Spirit with the Talent Tree.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I have failed your trust; I still haven¡¯t managed to do it¡­¡±


    Yin Qingmei started with a tone of guilt, thinking that Chen Mobai was purposely late by half a month to give her more time.


    ¡°That just means you and these Everlife Woods are not destined for each other; it seems that it cannot be forced!¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the Talent Tree before him and shook his head slightly.


    But for him, this wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    After many years of attempts, he had fully mastered the method to harvest from the Magic Treasure Tree, the Talent Tree, and the Great Dao Tree; it was nothing more than a waste of time.


    If he did not want to waste time, he could just wait for Zhuo Ming to grow up.


    With her Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities, as long as her realm was sufficient, Chen Mobai believed she could easily subdue these three Everlife Woods.


    ¡°Sect Leader, can you leave me here¡­¡±


    Yin Qingmei bit her lip and suddenly spoke with determination.


    She wanted to cultivate in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, where the three Everlife Woods were and where a Rank-4 Spirit Vein was located. If she cultivated the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture here year after year, maybe one day she would be able to Commune Spirit with these three Divine Trees!


    Chen Mobai naturally refused her request outright.


    The reason was that this place was the sect¡¯s Holy Land, and it was full of ancient restrictions left by the Longevity Sect, which were extremely dangerous. He absolutely could not leave a disciple of the sect in such a perilous forbidden land!


    But in reality, what he thought was that if Yin Qingmei stayed here, she might discover the logging grounds he had established.


    After all, because of the frequent transport of Spirit Wood, the logging grounds contained many tools and traces from the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai, being customarily cautious, would never allow Yin Qingmei, a Cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness, to stay here.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s righteous refusal, Yin Qingmei felt that her request might have been unreasonable and lowered her head, looking dejected.


    It was hard enough for her to obtain the Divine Transformation Technique, and there was an opportunity in the sect for her to rapidly ascend through the Fourth Order Longevity Wood, yet she could not seize it.


    This huge disparity filled Yin Qingmei with disappointment!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Qing Mei, in fact, beyond these Everlife Woods in the Longevity Sect, do you know there¡¯s an even more precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment, but still


    Yin Qingmei followed Chen Mobai away with a disappointed face.


    She was unable to gain the approval of the Talent Tree and the Magic Treasure Tree. As for the Great Dao Tree, Chen Mobai did not let her approach due to potential dangers.


    And since she wasn¡¯t approved by the first two Everlife Woods, the even more powerful and mysterious Great Dao Tree was even less likely to favor her.


    Chen Mobai also mentioned the Biyu Wutong, but cultivators in the Tianhe Realm prioritize the early stages, believing that no matter how great the potential, if it cannot be realized in timely fashion, it is meaningless.

 Chapter 1062 - Chapter 1062 Chapter 581 Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect

    Chapter 1062: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father Chapter 1062: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction, Yin Qingmei¡¯s gaze towards the Biyu Wutong tree changed completely.


    In her eyes, this Biyu Wutong tree was so towering and majestic, its straight trunk like a pillar of heaven, with its dense canopy spreading out, resembling a crown.


    Within the green shade of the canopy, the grass was as lush as a carpet, and standing among it, she felt as if she were in another world, seemingly blessed by the Divine Tree, experiencing an unprecedented warmth and peace!


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root¡­¡±


    Yin Qingmei coveted it, but also felt unworthy; after all, this was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root that, according to legend, was as to follow the Heavenly Sovereign, even in the East Land, it would be an unsurpassed treasure contested by those Holy Lands.


    As a result, when she spoke, she stopped short, the refined and delicate features of her face contorting awkwardly, her fair cheeks flushing slightly with reluctance to openly ask for such a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, leaving her to gaze eagerly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is the most precious treasure of the Longevity Sect within this Secret Realm. The three Everlife Woods combined are not even one ten-thousandth as precious as it. In ancient times, only the very top Holy Sons and Daughters who practiced the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture had the chance to make this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root their Destiny Spirit Plant.¡±


    Chen Mobai continued to boast. As he spoke, a look of reluctance and indecision appeared on his face, causing Yin Qingmei¡¯s emotions to fluctuate with his expressions.


    ¡°Sect Leader, may I have this opportunity?¡±


    Yin Qingmei¡¯s heart and mind were swayed by Chen Mobai¡¯s words, feeling that the greatest opportunity of her life was before her, and that if she didn¡¯t seize it, she would regret it for eons.


    ¡°I am the Longevity Sect Saint Son, and because I don¡¯t practice the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root seedling reserved for me could only be planted here to grow freely. According to the rules, if I cannot use it, I must leave it until the next talent passes the trial to become the Longevity Sect Saint Heir. It¡¯s really a bit difficult for you to want it¡­¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had already decided to give the Biyu Wutong tree to Yin Qingmei for cultivation, to reflect the preciousness of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, he still needed to play her a bit more to avoid her taking it too easily and not cherishing it.


    ¡°Sect Leader, how can I be qualified to use this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root? Do I need to join the Longevity Sect, or will you take me into the Sect?¡±


    At this moment, Yin Qingmei¡¯s heart and mind were completely controlled by Chen Mobai, her eyes fixated on the towering and lush Biyu Wutong tree before her, dreaming of obtaining this earth-shattering opportunity.


    ¡°The Longevity Sect ascended to the Upper Realm with the Heavenly Sovereign in ancient times, leaving only the cultivators who passed the Longevity Inquiry to be recognized by the Great Dao Tree as a disciple of the sect. How many steps did you take in front of the Great Dao Tree after your Foundation Establishment into the Secret Realm?¡±


    ¡°Disciple was inadequate in strength and lost consciousness at the eighth step,¡± she said with some embarrassment, bowing her head. As a possessor of Heavenly Spiritual Root, the resources she accessed while cultivating were basically the best among those at her Realm.


    But her performance in front of the Great Dao Tree was only average.


    Mu Yuan, E Yun, King Zhou, they too had the same result. As someone who was on par with Hong He, a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Yin Qingmei¡¯s failure to step beyond the eighth step could be described as a significant failure.


    Chen Mobai asked carefully and detected the problem.


    The Longevity Inquiry challenges the three aspects of Essence, Qi, and Spirit; any shortcoming in one area is not acceptable.


    It was for this reason that Hong He managed to step out nine steps.


    Although Yin Qingmei was a possessor of Heavenly Spiritual Root, prior to Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had not yet preached the Dao to her, focusing primarily on elevating her Spiritual Power Realm. Although her Divine Sense had some achievements, she never practiced any Body Refining Technique.


    It was for this reason that she failed while forcibly taking the eighth step during the Longevity Inquiry.


    ¡°Eight steps, however, is not regrettable. After all, the Longevity Sect rules state that only the Saint Heirs can use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, and the standard is taking twelve steps before the Great Dao Tree.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words not only embarrassed Yin Qingmei, but also made her look up to him with admiration.


    She thought that the Sect Leader indeed had the strongest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wilderness for a millennium, actually managing to take twelve steps before the Great Dao Tree.


    Even though she was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the gap between her and the Sect Leader was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    ¡°Sect Leader, is there another way?¡±


    While Yin Qingmei admired and aspired to Chen Mobai¡¯s unrivaled talent, she still did not give up the chance to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.

    ¡°The Sect Rules are such, and although I, as the Longevity Sect Saint Son, can barely be called the acting Sect Hierarch in the absence of the Heavenly Sovereign and the other powers ascending, it¡¯s also not good for me to destroy rules that have continued for tens of thousands of years for your sake¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai put it this way, his expression hesitant, conveying a conflicted idea about whether to find a way to break the Sect¡¯s regulations for Yin Qingmei¡¯s sake.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I once saw in a hidden volume of ancient miscellaneous records that the Longevity Sect advocates generation-to-generation binding and inheritance among the cultivators within the sect,¡± said Yin Qingmei, suddenly biting her teeth and speaking out a sentence that surprised Chen Mobai.


    What does that mean?


    ¡°This means, if the descendants of the Longevity Sect¡¯s cultivators possess a Spiritual Root capable of cultivation, they must also join the Longevity Sect, otherwise, it would be regarded as disloyal and unfilial to the Heavenly Sovereign,¡± she explained.

 Chapter 1063 - Chapter 1063 Chapter 581 Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect

    Chapter 1063: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father_2 Chapter 1063: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father_2 But what does this have to do with what we¡¯re discussing now?


    Chen Mobai looked at Yin Qingmei with a puzzled expression, as her pretty face suddenly turned red and she spoke again.


    ¡°Under such generational bindings, the Longevity Sect also decreed that descendants who join the sect can inherit their ancestors¡¯ positions within the sect.¡±


    Is there such a rule?


    Chen Mobai expressed his confusion, thinking that after thousands of years, wouldn¡¯t the entire Longevity Sect be filled with Saint Heirs, true inheritors¡­


    When I get back, I can ask Elder Ming to see if there is such a statement.


    As Chen Mobai was reflecting on this, Yin Qingmei seemed to muster her courage and directly knelt before Chen Mobai, performing a grand kowtow.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader doesn¡¯t mind, I wish to acknowledge you as my foster father!¡±


    While pondering, Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth hung open in shock when he heard Yin Qingmei¡¯s words, his expression was chaotic, as if he had no experience in such matters.


    ¡°This¡­ this¡­ this¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was left speechless.


    With the many years of education he received in the Immortal Gate, he had never encountered such a situation. Even the term ¡°foster father¡± had almost disappeared there, only to be seen in shows and dramas.


    Moreover, it seemed that there wasn¡¯t much difference in their ages!


    If Yin Qingmei acknowledged him as her foster father, wouldn¡¯t that make him seem old?


    Is this the custom and culture of the Tianhe Realm?


    Or does Yin Qingmei value the chance for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots so much that she is willing to do anything?


    Regardless, Chen Mobai was utterly confounded by the words ¡°foster father¡± that came out of Yin Qingmei¡¯s mouth.


    One can only say that the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm, in their pursuit of the Dao and yearning for a higher realm, possess a determination that Chen Mobai, who grew up in the Immortal Gate, couldn¡¯t understand.


    All he originally wanted was to imprint on Yin Qingmei¡¯s heart the preciousness of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, to make her treasure this Spirit Plant that could level up indefinitely.


    The back-and-forth of words and expressions was merely to make Yin Qingmei pay more attention and remember that he had broken the rules of the Longevity Sect for her sake.


    After all, Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, was destined to reach Core Formation and perhaps even ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in the future. Chen Mobai needed this method to cultivate her loyalty to him and to the Divine Wood Sect.


    But who would have thought that with just a few words from him, Yin Qingmei would already willingly kneel and call him foster father.


    With limited experience and knowledge, Chen Mobai was at a loss on the spot.


    Yin Qingmei, who had been kneeling and performing the grand kowtow for a long time without a response from Chen Mobai, felt an immense sense of loss and despair, thinking that she lacked the fate to use this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    But in the end, still clinging to a sliver of hope, she weakly murmured the two words.


    ¡°Sigh, since your heart is so devoted to the Dao, then I will fulfill your wish.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai came to his senses amidst her timid call and quickly agreed.


    ¡°Foster father above, please accept your daughter¡¯s bow¡­¡±


    Seeing Yin Qingmei rise and prepare to kneel again for another grand kowtow, Chen Mobai immediately extended his hand to stop her, and spoke out against it. Growing up in the Immortal Gate, he was somewhat unable to accept this gesture.


    ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s forget about acknowledging me as your foster father. As the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, I am also like half a mentor to you. Even if it breaks the internal rules of the sect, I will bestow upon you this opportunity of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, hoping that this act can foster a great cultivator for the sect who can shield us from storms in the future.¡±


    He voiced the thoughts that he had already planned.


    In fact, if Yin Qingmei had waited a bit longer, he would have agreed anyway, but she was so direct.


    ¡°Sect Leader, your great kindness will forever be remembered in my heart, but as an ancient power, the Longevity Sect has rules set by the mighty. To avoid the risk of affecting your Dao Heart and future cultivation after breaking rules, I would rather address you as my foster father.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai said this, Yin Qingmei felt she couldn¡¯t be so tactless and allow the Sect Leader to bear the risk of violating the great sect¡¯s rules because of her.


    Her hands, poised for salutation, were held by Chen Mobai and couldn¡¯t touch the ground, but with a supple move, she bowed her head to the ground, completing the grand kowtow.


    ¡°Foster Father, if I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me today by planting and bestowing treasures upon me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s lips twitched slightly, truly unaccustomed to the customs of the Tianhe Realm, but Yin Qingmei seemed to have made up her mind, showing no intention of changing her stance.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t yet communed with this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, what if the Biyu Wutong doesn¡¯t accept you?¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to struggle a bit more, indicating that he didn¡¯t want such a grown daughter.


    It was clear that as a golden bachelor of the Immortal Gate, he had planned to engage in bitter cultivation until he could no longer break through his realm before he would consider starting a family and leaving descendants.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I have already communed with this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root. However, its weak spirit has informed me that it belongs to you, and only with your consent can it become my Destiny Spirit Plant!¡±


    At this moment, having already reached out and communicated with the Biyu Wutong, Yin Qingmei turned her head, her face full of hope, looking at him with expectant eyes.


    Indeed, this mere Rank-1 Spirit Tree, when faced with the symbiotic invitation of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, wouldn¡¯t refuse at all.


    Chen Mobai sighed, he felt like he had shot himself in the foot, overplaying his hand.


    ¡°I agree. From now on, foster a good symbiotic growth with her.¡±


    By this point, he definitely wouldn¡¯t use words to pinch Yin Qingmei anymore, and he walked over to the trunk of the Biyu Wutong, touched it with his hand, and then used his Divine Sense to pass on this information.


    This Spirit Tree, after all, was one he had watered and nurtured from the size of a palm seedling, his twenty years of cultivation kindness being as intimate as if basking in mutual radiance.


    Now, presented with a greater potential for development, it didn¡¯t forget to seek Chen Mobai¡¯s consent.


    And after he nodded, the Biyu Wutong no longer hesitated.


    Its weak spirit began to merge with Yin Qingmei¡¯s Divine Sense, and she immediately sat cross-legged at the base of the tree and started practicing the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    With Chen Mobai standing guard beside her, she wasn¡¯t worried about danger at all.


    Moreover, she wanted to grasp the opportunity offered by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root immediately, turning it into her Destiny Spirit Plant, fearing it might be a dream that would vanish upon awakening.


    Chen Mobai watched Yin Qingmei, seated with hands stretched out to touch the bark of the Biyu Wutong Tree, and couldn¡¯t help but be moved by her resolute and decisive spirit.


    Within the Immortal Gate, only a very few had such a resolute will to seek the Dao regardless of all else.


    This might also be because, in the Tianhe Realm, the chances of attaining the Dao were far too scarce.


    After all, in the Immortal Gate, as long as the Cultivation Realm was sufficient, one could freely choose the most suitable cultivation technique for oneself.


    But in the Tianhe Realm, even the entire Eastern Wilderness had not heard of a complete Divinity Transformation Technique.


    Yin Qingmei, having encountered the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and the legendary Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue the great Dao.


    She regarded it as equal to the chance of becoming a disciple under a God-Transcending cultivator in the Eastern Earth Holy Land and was determined not to miss it.


    Threads of extremely pure Longevity Spiritual Power surged from Yin Qingmei¡¯s slender snow-white fingers, gently infusing into the deepest parts of the Biyu Wutong¡¯s veined trunk.


    With his Void Spirit Eye open, Chen Mobai saw the Biyu Wutong that was stagnant at the upper level of Rank-1, breaking through its bottleneck with the help of this Longevity Spiritual Power, showing potential for evolution to Rank-2.


    ¡°The spiritual energy here is insufficient, and since your future place of cultivation will be at the Giant Tree Ridge, it¡¯s better not to break through here!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then advised Yin Qingmei. She, with eyes closed, obediently nodded her head and began guiding the Biyu Wutong, which had communed with her, to solidify its foundation and complete the symbiotic process with her.


    After about half a day, Yin Qingmei opened her eyes with slight panting, her hands leaving the Biyu Wutong.


    ¡°Thank you, Foster Father, for bestowing the treasure. This Spirit Tree is indeed a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, capable of Unlimited Leveling Up!¡±

    After the Commune Spirit symbiosis, Yin Qingmei, with her Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s realm, could easily control the Biyu Wutong of only Rank-1 and immediately knew the utmost potential of this Spirit Plant. She couldn¡¯t help but treat Chen Mobai with even more respect.


    In the Tianhe Realm, even between biological father and daughter, probably only on their deathbed would such a shocking opportunity be passed down.


    ¡°Qing Mei, let¡¯s forget about this ¡®Foster Father¡¯ title. After all, I am still the Sect Leader, and if Sect Disciples hear about this, my reputation might be affected!¡±


    After considering, Chen Mobai still felt the need to correct this, and he spoke gravely and earnestly to persuade her.


    ¡°I understand, Foster Father. When others are present, I will call you ¡®Sect Leader¡¯!¡±

 Chapter 1064 - Chapter 1064 Chapter 582 Heavenly Wood God Needle

    Chapter 1064: Chapter 582 Heavenly Wood God Needle Chapter 1064: Chapter 582 Heavenly Wood God Needle Chen Mobai corrected for a while, but he still couldn¡¯t change Yin Qingmei¡¯s filial piety, so he had no choice but to leave it be for now.


    To avoid any accidents during the transplantation of the Biyu Wutong, Chen Mobai specifically called Zhuo Ming in.


    ¡°Foster¡­ Sect Leader, my Cave Dwelling is in Qingdai Mountain, where there¡¯s only a Rank-3 Spirit Vein. Will it affect the growth of this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root?¡±


    Yin Qingmei looked at Zhuo Ming preparing to transplant the Biyu Wutong and began to worry about the future development of her own Destiny Spirit Plant, which could indefinitely level up.


    Chen Mobai had also once visited Qingdai Mountain because the Pure Bamboo he had given to Yin Qingmei was planted there by her. With her permission, he took Zhuo Ming to dig up the bamboo and transplanted it into his own Longevity Wood Dojo for Luo Yixuan to use.


    That place had a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein, which was considered the best Cave Dwelling treatment for the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Sect.


    But after obtaining the Divinity Transformation Technique and the Biyu Wutong that could level up indefinitely, Yin Qingmei started to feel that the Spirit Vein Level of her Cave Dwelling was somewhat low.


    ¡°The greatest utility of the Biyu Wutong is to comb through the earth veins, clarify the muddled, regulate all-encompassing weather, ensuring that the places covered by its root system will enjoy favorable weather and be free from natural disasters.¡±


    ¡°If you wish to bring out the power of this Spirit Plant in the future, then you will need to use its ability to comb through the earth veins for virtuous deeds. In doing so, when the time comes for you to break through realms, you may even gain the favor of Heaven, free from disaster and calamity.¡±


    ¡°I have a great deed planned in the three northern countries of the Eastern Desolation that was originally intended for Ming¡¯er to aid her enlightenment and Core Formation. Since you have taken me as your foster father and have been acknowledged by my Biyu Wutong, I can share some of the merits with you.¡±


    Thinking of the future development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau and the transformation of the Sand Sea into fertile land, if the Biyu Wutong could comb through the earth veins, the work would be twice as effective. Chen Mobai decided to let Yin Qingmei join as well.


    Regardless, as long as he was the chief engineer, he could share at least half of every merit.


    And having Zhuo Ming single-handedly undertake the development of the northern part of the Eastern Desolation, even with his support, would not be easy. Assigning Yin Qingmei to assist her was just perfect.


    ¡°Foster¡­ Sect Leader¡¯s great kindness and great virtue, Qing Mei will remember it for a lifetime.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s advice, Yin Qingmei immediatelunderstood the cultivation and leveling up route for the Biyu Wutong. Her face flushed slightly, and with an excited expression, she almost couldn¡¯t help but offer another grand salute.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve finished communicating¡­¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming flew over. She looked curiously at Yin Qingmei, whose fair cheeks were blushed, eyes brimming like rippling water, and emotions clearly fluctuating, wondering why her state of mind was so unsettled.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you take command, your Master will perform the task.¡±


    Chen Mobai always believed that professional tasks should be left to the professionals. Zhuo Ming¡¯s knowledge in cultivating Spirit Plants was already the first in the Divine Wood Sect, and even though his cultivation level was higher, he was willing to follow her lead.


    Half a day later, the Biyu Wutong was supported by Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and lowered above Yin Qingmei¡¯s Qingdai Mountain.


    Zhuo Ming went down to communicate with the Spirit Veins of the mountain, then came up and interacted with the very cooperative Biyu Wutong. After several trips up and down, she finally chose the most suitable spot.


    It was a gentle slope on the eastern side of Qingdai Mountain, with plenty of sunlight and fertile, loose soil.


    Zhuo Ming used her Earth Mother Cultivation to dig a hole, and Chen Mobai, who had been waiting in mid-air for a long time, lowered the Biyu Wutong.


    ¡°This is a Spiritual Cave that connects to the core of Qingdai Mountain¡¯s earth veins which I have opened up. This way, the Spirit Tree can extend its roots into it in the shortest time possible, drawing the most concentrated and pure Spiritual Energy. With sufficient sunlight and water, it will grow the fastest.¡±


    Yin Qingmei, watching Zhuo Ming¡¯s efficient actions, as well as the happy and excited emotions conveyed by the mutually living Biyu Wutong, was completely absorbed.


    If she had such abilities, would she repeatedly face failure while trying to commune with the Longevity Wood and Golden Sun Spirit Tree?


    This is the heir to the legacy of my foster father!


    Worthy of being the one arranged for Enlightenment Core Formation!


    As a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Yin Qingmei had been indoctrinated since joining the Sect with the concept that her talent was unmatched and incomparable.


    But the appearance of Chen Mobai completely shattered this belief.


    And now, Zhuo Ming, who was usually low-profile in the Sect, made her begin to doubt whether she was truly a Heavenly Spiritual Root or not.


    ¡°Thank you, Zhuo Shimei!¡±


    Seeing Zhuo Ming open up the earth vein Spiritual Cave, Yin Qingmei immediately went over to thank her. Zhuo Ming immediately shook her head, saying she was just following the Master¡¯s orders, and if thanks were to be given, they should be to the Master.


    Yin Qingmei tried to thank Chen Mobai but was stopped by his gesture.

    ¡°You have just completed a mutual life with this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root. From now on, focus on your cultivation of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture in your Cave Dwelling. If you have any questions, you can come to me.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai took out the Heavenly Communication Device and granted Yin Qingmei direct access privileges.


    ¡°Yes¡­ Sect Leader!¡±


    Almost calling him foster father again, Yin Qingmei saw Chen Mobai was about to leave with Zhuo Ming. She hurriedly took out a gem radiating with treasure light, a greenish azure Elemental Pearl from her Storage Bag, holding it up respectfully before Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is a Spiritual Object called ¡®Azure Wood Elemental Pearl¡¯ that I obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm when I was at the Foundation Establishment stage. There¡¯s also a method for Refining this Treasure Bead. It¡¯s a crystallization of pure Wood Spirit Qi, which, when integrated into the body, enhances vitality and can improve the speed of Divine Sense operation. It¡¯s a fine Spiritual Treasure, so please accept it, Sect Leader.¡±

 Chapter 1065 - Chapter 1065 Chapter 582 Heavenly Wood God Needle_2

    Chapter 1065: Chapter 582: Heavenly Wood God Needle_2 Chapter 1065: Chapter 582: Heavenly Wood God Needle_2 Chen Mobai took a look and discovered that this treasure bead could only exert its greatest effect when used by a cultivator who practiced wood attribute cultivation techniques.


    He accepted Yin Qingmei¡¯s filial piety, but he felt it would be better for her to keep the Azure Elemental Pearl.


    In the future, if her cultivation realm advanced, the Wood Spirit Qi accumulated within the treasure bead would become even more abundant and could help him in cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    ¡°For a cultivator of my realm, its effect is minimal. You should keep it. Focusing on your cultivation and reaching Core Formation early is the greatest thanks you can give me and the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yin Qingmei even more excited, expressing that she would definitely not let down the Sect Leader and the sect¡¯s nurturing.


    ¡°Did you not gain anything else under the Talent Tree this time?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered feeding Yin Qingmei a plate of Jade bamboo shoots; logically, with the transformation of her Spiritual Root, and especially a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she should have been able to receive the inheritance of the five great Immortal Scriptures.


    ¡°I have disappointed the Sect Leader. I only received a method called ¡®Heavenly Wood God Needle¡¯.¡±


    When Yin Qingmei said this, she swore an oath, indicating that she had not concealed any inheritances from the Longevity Sect.


    She also described the Heavenly Wood God Needle technique¨Cit was a method of condensing Qi into needles.


    It required mastery of the Longevity Spiritual Power and the cultivation of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light. Afterwards, using one¡¯s spiritual power to condense the Spiritual Light into needles, which can be released explosively in combat.


    According to the description of the method, its power was so great that it could split mountains and crumble the earth to dust.


    Isn¡¯t this a higher-ranked application of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light!


    After reading it, that¡¯s what Chen Mobai thought.


    Although he was Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll and this technique was of no use to him, it could be used to compensate for the lack of offensive power in the sect¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Even so, to cultivate this Heavenly Wood God Needle, one must at least reach Core Formation. He thought he¡¯d have Zhou Shengqing take a look. If they could adapt it, lower its requirements to condensing needles from Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, then many Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect could significantly increase their combat abilities.


    For offering this technique, Chen Mobai credited Yin Qingmei with one hundred thousand sect contribution points. Apart from the fact that the Heavenly Wood God Needle was indeed useful for the Divine Wood Sect, this was also an excuse to allocate enough resources for her cultivation to Core Formation.


    With these one hundred thousand contribution points, all she needed to do was to calmly stay in Qingdai Mountain, cultivate the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, and nurture the Biyu Wutong.


    Having made arrangements for Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai left with Zhuo Ming.


    He briefly mentioned to Zhuo Ming the great merit possible upon the Eastern Desolation Plateau; she was somewhat confused and did not fully understand.


    But when Chen Mobai mentioned that completing this task could lead her to Enlightenment and ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± Zhuo Ming instantly grasped this key piece of information.


    ¡°Master¡­ can I really¡­ form a Core?¡±


    Zhuo Ming felt somewhat lacking in confidence and spoke with a trembling voice and an uneasy expression.


    ¡°To truly proceed with this matter, I need to unify the Eastern Wilderness first. Without a safe and peaceful environment, as your teacher, I can¡¯t rest assured letting you leave the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming had probably been satisfied after her Foundation Establishment and thought Core Formation was a long way off. By getting involved in farming and cultivating Spirit Plants, she had neglected the essential progress of her cultivation practice. Therefore, he brought up the great merit of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, giving her a strong motivation and urging her to diligently practice cultivation.


    ¡°Master, what do I need to prepare for next?¡±


    Zhuo Ming was the kind of hands-on talent who would devote herself utterly to any task Chen Mobai assigned her. Matters like planting trees, curing sand, and meritorious deeds were a bit unclear to her, but she knew this was the path to Core Formation that her Master had laid out for her, so she was full of eagerness.


    This was to be Core Formation!


    The pinnacle for every cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness!


    Bear in mind, when Zhuo Ming used to be a Loose Cultivator, her life¡¯s dream was simply to join a major sect and obtain an inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal to support herself.


    Now, not only had she successfully undergone Foundation Establishment, but she also had the number one Sect Leader of the Eastern Wilderness as her master and controlled the cultivation and harvest of Spirit Rice over the entire Giant Tree Ridge, sustaining thousands of cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Even with all this, the thought of Core Formation still seemed too much to hope for.


    After all, of the many practitioners with Foundation Establishment Completion in the Eastern Wilderness, only her extraordinarily talented Master managed to achieve Core Formation in the recent eighty years.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t think she compared to her Master at all and felt that even if she could attempt Core Formation, it would probably be something for a hundred years in the future.


    ¡°`


    Who would have known that so quickly, Mentor would pave such a grand path to heaven for her.


    Comprehension Path Golden Core!


    According to Mentor, as long as one enters the realm of enlightenment, they can achieve Core Formation with absolute certainty.


    [I must not miss this opportunity!]


    Zhuo Ming thought to herself resolutely.


    ¡°I¡¯ll write a note, and you can go to the Transmission Division to collect some books on Earth Master. Given your talent, reaching the peak mastery of this technique will be no difficult feat.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished writing the note, he recalled that he had once acquired an Earth Master Heritage during the war at Mountain Shaker Peak, which he seemed to have given to Luo Yixuan.


    Upon asking Zhuo Ming, he found out that the little disciple had copied it and already passed on the heritage to her.


    But at that time, Zhuo Ming was only at Qi Cultivation, and her entire day was occupied with farming, brewing, and cultivating, so the Earth Master Heritage ended up at the bottom of her storage bag, almost forgotten.


    ¡°Disciple takes her leave!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, having dug out the nearly yellowed Earth Master Heritage, left excitedly with Chen Mobai¡¯s note in hand.


    After arranging things for the two Core Formation seeds, Chen Mobai called out for Fu Zongjue.


    Soon, the two of them arrived at Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo.


    ¡°Heavenly Wood God Needle!¡±


    Upon hearing of this cultivation technique, both of their eyes lit up. The Longevity Scripture was famously excellent in defense but lacked offensive techniques.


    The Sacred Tree Divine Light was already considered Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ultimate hidden move!


    Yet, this Heavenly Wood God Needle elevated the power of Sacred Tree Divine Light by a grade, and if cultivated to the extreme, according to the description, it would almost represent the power of a Rank-4.


    ¡°If my physical body was intact, using Longevity True Qi to drive it, this Heavenly Wood God Needle could unleash the full power of a Rank-4!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, as the highest achiever of the Longevity Scripture, couldn¡¯t help but express his regret after seeing it.


    All things in heaven and earth derive from ¡°Qi,¡± and at higher cultivation realms, one must refine a strand of True Qi nearly identical to the primordial source of heaven and earth in order to comprehend the true essence of techniques and the rhythms of all things.


    When Zhou Shengqing achieved Golden Core Perfection, he had already refined three strands of Longevity True Qi, which when used to drive various wood attribute techniques, could directly escalate the power to nearly that of a Rank-4.


    If he had obtained Heavenly Wood God Needle before the great battle at Shake Mountain Peak, he probably wouldn¡¯t have needed Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue¡¯s help to easily overcome Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen¡¯s idea is good. I¡¯ll try to see if it can be modified so that it can also be executed using Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s idea, Zhou Shengqing felt it would significantly enhance the combat capabilities of the sect¡¯s practitioners. Since he was in a soul state and could not cultivate, this was the perfect task for him.


    ¡°Elder Brothers, there¡¯s one more thing¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai also informed the two about Yin Qingmei acquiring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots. Upon learning of this, they both sighed in admiration of Chen Mobai¡¯s integrity and generosity, that he could even bestow such an opportunity.


    ¡°It¡¯s all for the sake of the sect. With Niece Qingmei possessing Heavenly Spiritual Root, if she can achieve Nascent Soul Formation in the future, our sect could rely on her to reclaim even more territories.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai made Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing admire him even more, confirming that entrusting the sect to him had been the right choice.


    ¡°Junior Brother, you are dedicating yourself fully for the sake of the sect, but you must not neglect your own cultivation. Compared to Qingmei, you are the one who is most likely to achieve Nascent Soul Formation.¡±

    Fu Zongjue offered his advice, as in their eyes, while the Heavenly Spiritual Root had great potential, it was not even a tenth as important as their junior brother before them.


    ¡°What Elder Brother said is true, but I have already made arrangements. In the future, the sect has Nephew Yue, and outside, the six countries have their respective town guards, so I can focus on closed-door cultivation for the next few years.¡±


    This inspection tour of the Eastern Wilderness allowed Chen Mobai to sort out all affairs.


    The years to come would be for laying low, enhancing his own and the sect¡¯s strength.

 Chapter 1066 - Chapter 1066 Chapter 583 Gold Core Level 2

    Chapter 1066: Chapter 583: Gold Core Level 2 Chapter 1066: Chapter 583: Gold Core Level 2 After arranging the affairs of the sect, Chen Mobai announced his seclusion.


    ¡°Saint Heir, this is the method to refine the Moonlight Blade.¡±


    The shadow silhouette within Elder Ming¡¯s Soul Nourishing Wood finished speaking, and then looked at the gleaming white crescent blade in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand with reluctant affection.


    From now on, this fourth-grade magical weapon would no longer belong to her.


    ¡°What a pity, this treasure does not match my attributes.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense surged into the Moonlight Blade, and after circulating it with the method of treasure refinement, he felt a chill run through his body in return.


    ¡°Saint Heir, this magical artifact comes from the Jade Mirror Demon Sect. It is forged by an expert who cultivated the Jade Mirror Frost Soul Cultivation Technique by absorbing the Tai Yin moon¡¯s essence. It inherently restrains methods that are supremely Yang and rigid. After I obtained it, I¡¯ve warmed and cultivated it for several decades, and it has already partially transformed into a Yin Tool. It is normal for it to be unsuitable for Sun World Cultivators¡­¡±


    Elder Ming spoke up, hoping to dissuade Chen Mobai from the idea of refining the Moonlight Blade.


    ¡°Jade Mirror Demon Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, was very interested in this Demon Sect mentioned by Elder Ming, and he asked for information about the demon path.


    Since the Eastern Wilderness is located in the most remote area of the East Land, the knowledge of the conflict between Orthodoxy and Demonic paths at the core of the East Land was mostly hearsay. Coupled with the subconscious information blockade by the Orthodox Holy Lands regarding the Demon Path, it made understanding even more difficult.


    Chen Mobai only knew that the Demon Path was famous for a total of eighteen sects, all of which had caused huge waves in history and had strong heritages with Transformation God level powers.


    The most recent one was Ming Zun, who emerged from the Tongyou Demon Sect and almost shattered the entirety of the East Land.


    And the most complete Netherworld Scripture mentioned by Elder Ming was passed down within this Tongyou Demon Sect.


    ¡°In fact, my understanding of the Demon Path is also limited. It¡¯s just because we Ghost Cultivators are also repulsed by the Orthodoxy as evil demons, so under the banner of unity for warmth, we often trade spiritual objects and cultivation techniques every so often, picking up some information in the process.¡±


    ¡°Whenever there is a trade meeting for those considered heterodox and evil, it is Tu Daohua who informs us. I got this Moonlight Blade in one such meeting, in exchange for a fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    ¡°If the Saint Heir wishes to acquire more content about the Demon Path, you can let me take over the flesh of your disciple, pretending that I have successfully possessed her, and then contact Tu Daohua.¡±


    Elder Ming was still somewhat persistent, indicating that as long as she took over, Luo Yixuan could immediately form a Ghost Pill, giving the Divine Wood Sect another Golden Core Stage combatant in secret.


    ¡°Although possessing the power of Core Formation is no small fortune for a Ghost Cultivator, I do not wish for it to be at the cost of Xuan spending the rest of her life not as a human being.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his gaze shifted to the young girl in the white dress sitting quietly near the Pure Bamboo, who could only move with effort.


    Luo Yixuan heard his words and raised her head to reveal a radiant smile.


    ¡°I will listen to my master!¡±


    ¡°`


    During this period, Luo Yixuan, with the help of the transplanted Pure Bamboo, had already suppressed a portion of the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power in her body. Moreover, with a Spirit Suppression Talisman drawn by Chen Mobai for assistance, she could barely operate her own body.


    Since Luo Yixuan might practice demonic cultivation in the future, only her two disciples, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, knew when Chen Mobai brought her back.


    In this way, when Luo Yixuan leaves the Divine Wood Sect in the future, there will be no deliberate traces left behind.


    Zhuo Ming, after learning of these matters, was very distressed.


    When Chen Mobai initially brought back Luo Yixuan, who was immobile, it was Zhuo Ming who came to care for her.


    After attempting and verifying the effectiveness of the natural Pure Qi, Chen Mobai allowed the sect to send word to Chu Zuoshu in the East Barbarians, instructing him to purchase higher-grade Pure Bamboo from Kong Sang Valley.


    Chu Zuoshu had taken the Golden Liquid Jade Pill in a rented cave dwelling in Golden Crow Immortal City at the end of last year, but unfortunately, due to insufficient foundations, he failed at Core Formation.


    Luckily, he was aware of his own limitations. When he detected that he couldn¡¯t complete the crystallization of Spiritual Power, he decisively gave up.


    Now Chu Zuoshu is in a period of convalescence, incidentally, he has also opened a small commerce association in the East Barbarians on behalf of the Divine Wood Sect.


    From Chen Mobai¡¯s broad perspective, he believed it was crucial for the sect to establish a commerce association that also served as an office in the East Barbarians.


    Therefore, when Chu Zuoshu left, he was tasked with this matter, and Luo Xue¡¯er from the Reward Virtue Hall also selected several disciples, to be dispatched to the East Barbarians to develop the market under the guise of a sect mission.


    Because they would occasionally sell some Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Wood and Lingye, as well as talisman paper and ink of perfect quality from Chen Mobai¡¯s Puppet Factory, this small commerce association gradually made a name for itself.


    After receiving the message from Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu immediately approached the commerce association of Kong Sang Valley in Golden Crow Immortal City.


    The shops of the major sects generally sell their own specialties.


    Unfortunately, the highest grade of Pure Bamboo available in the Kong Sang Valley store was Rank-3, priced at ten thousand Spirit Stones for six sections. If one wanted to buy a transplantable Rank-3 Pure Bamboo, the price skyrocketed to fifty thousand Spirit Stones per plant.


    Moreover, ordinary cultivators did not have the privilege to purchase it. Even those who were qualified had to pre-order, and only then would the local shop arrange for the transfer of goods.


    After hearing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s report, Chen Mobai sent a message to Yu Shuji, requesting his help on behalf of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to directly purchase a Rank-3 Pure Bamboo with roots and two sections of six-section Pure Bamboo from the Kong Sang Valley¡¯s sect location.


    Yu Shuji, who had just completed a transaction, gave Chen Mobai plenty of face and once again instructed his disciple, Qu XiuXian, to make the trip. However, because he needed to travel back and forth between the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, it might take some time.


    Seeing that Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation was urgent and the Rank-2 Pure Bamboo transplanted from Yin Qingmei¡¯s Qingdai Mountain was almost drained and yellowing, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu to buy a six-section Pure Bamboo and return to the sect first.


    But the local customs in Tianhe Realm are overly hospitable.


    Chu Zuoshu had just purchased a Pure Bamboo and left the Golden Crow Immortal City when he was ambushed by two groups of cultivators in the wilderness.


    Had it not been for the Spirit Leaf Talisman from Zhou Shengqing on him, and his timely action to scatter the contents of his Storage Bag, using the Pure Bamboo and a shower of Spirit Stones to provoke infighting among his assailants, escaping would not have been easy.


    In his reply, Chu Zuoshu was certain that it was the people from the Kong Sang Valley shop in Golden Crow Immortal City who had leaked the information since only they knew he purchased the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo.


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai felt speechless upon learning about this matter; he was utterly disappointed with the cultivators¡¯ integrity and character in the Tianhe Realm.


    But this was the norm. When the Divine Wood Sect discovered the Void Stone Mine by the Lonely Spirit Ridge, they took the stones to sell in the land of the East Barbarians. On their return, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had leaked the information to Ji Zhenshi, allowing the latter to make a fortune.


    Indeed, setting up a cross-regional commerce association was not an easy task.


    In the future, if there was a need to purchase spiritual objects from outside the Eastern Wilderness, it would be better to go through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, he turned his attention back to the Donghuang map.


    Outside, his Divine Wood Sect did not have enough power to be in charge, but here in the Eastern Wilderness, they could start monopolizing the sale of talisman paper and ink, becoming the sole influential player.


    The output of Chen Mobai¡¯s upgraded puppet factory had doubled; it could now produce twenty thousand Rank-1 top-quality talisman papers daily.


    Over a year, accounting for the necessary maintenance times and having all the machinery operating at full capacity, it could reach 7 million sheets.


    At the selling prices in the Tianhe Realm, if all were sold, the yearly income could reach nearly 600,000 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Master, why is there so much talisman paper!¡± Liu Wenbo trembled slightly as he accepted the storage bag full of nearly ten million talisman papers that Chen Mobai handed to him, ¡°The Little Nan Mountain Shop, established in various countries of the Eastern Wilderness, sells at most three million talisman papers a year.¡±


    With so much talisman paper, it was very likely to result in overstock.


    ¡°From now on, when selling, if a cultivator buys ten bundles, we¡¯ll gift one bundle for free.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already thought it through, now that his Divine Wood Sect had the strength to dominate the Eastern Wilderness, it was time for his Little Nan Mountain Shop to become a monopolist.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo, after years of experience, had also gained some basic business knowledge and found Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal extremely shrewd.


    If they went with the buy-ten-get-one-free strategy, out of the 7 million talisman papers, they should be able to sell around 5 million.


    For the remaining over 2 million, Liu Wenbo would think of other promotional strategies, or simply save them to sell the following year.


    ¡°Wen Bo, there¡¯s also this.¡±


    Chen Mobai passed another storage bag to Liu Wenbo, who, thinking it contained more talisman papers, accepted it with some shock.


    To his surprise, it was filled with talisman ink.


    This was the base talisman ink produced by the puppet factory, researched by the Immortal Gates, and was the most popular Rank-1 ink, suitable for drawing tens of thousands of talismans.


    However, this was also the result of the Immortal Gates guiding the making of talisman market standards for thousands of years. After all, if talisman factories didn¡¯t adopt this kind of ink, they would only cater to a niche market and slowly perish.


    This type of ink was not expensive at the Immortal Gates; it was 500 Good Deed Points per bottle, and if used judiciously, could draw hundreds of talismans.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s original puppet factory also produced this talisman ink, but back then, the cultivators in Tianhe Realm were not very receptive to this new type of ink. Although it was of high quality and pure, the market response wasn¡¯t very good.


    After all, talisman ink is such that once prepared, it could be used for a long time.


    Each Talisman Maker might go through talisman paper quickly, but ink could last at least a year.


    Moreover, the Immortal Gates¡¯ ink came as a liquid in pre-packaged bottles, and the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm were not keen on spending Spirit Stones to try this new ¡®watered-down¡¯ product.


    ¡°Wen Bo, place this talisman ink on display at our Little Nan Mountain Shop, and provide a free bottle with every purchase of five bundles or more of talisman paper,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    Having studied business finance at the Repairing Heaven Institute, Chen Mobai, who intended to monopolize the talisman paper and ink market in the entire Eastern Wilderness, naturally needed to use the most classic method of capturing the market.


    ¡°Master, this Xiao Nan Ink is worth two Spirit Stones per bottle; giving it away like this, wouldn¡¯t that be too much of a loss?¡±


    This talisman ink was referred to as basic talisman ink at the Immortal Gates and, since Chen Mobai was planning to sell it in the Eastern Wilderness, naturally, it needed a memorable and distinctive name.


    So he renamed it ¡°Xiao Nan Ink.¡±


    ¡°Do as I say, distribute these 200,000 bottles of Xiao Nan Ink evenly among the shops in various countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and continue until they are gone,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    These stocks of ink were from the inventory accumulated since the opening of the original puppet factory. Now, Chen Mobai kept the yearly production to 20,000 bottles, but without restrictions, it could reach 50,000 bottles.


    Apart from some being circulated in the Immortal Gates¡¯ market, from now on, they would be used as complimentary items in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai estimated that after giving them away for about five years, the talisman makers in the Eastern Wilderness would realize the advantages of the Xiao Nan Ink.


    After ten to twenty years, this Xiao Nan Ink would become an essential item for all Talisman Makers, abandoning those handcrafted, impure ink blocks that were cumbersome to make.


    Once a standard was set, the investments made in the early stage would be recouped tenfold or a hundredfold later on.


    Liu Wenbo might not fully understand, but he was deeply respectful of his master¡¯s orders. Since Chen Mobai had instructed it, he would do everything possible to execute the plan.


    Before he left, Liu Wenbo went to see Luo Yixuan. She had fully absorbed the spiritual energy from the Rank-2 Pure Bamboo and was feeling much better.

    Zhuo Ming, after hearing the news, came over as well, and the three senior and junior disciples gathered after a long time apart.


    However, Chen Mobai had entered closed-door cultivation.


    His cultivation for the Pure Yang Scroll had suddenly made a breakthrough.


    After half a year, the nature¡¯s spiritual energy above the Longevity Wood Dojo began to converge, turning into a sweet rain that fell. Then a surge of pure and vast Spiritual Power Fluctuation swept it all away, as if breaking through some barrier, soaring abruptly and then vanishing in a flash.


    In the wooden hut, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, feeling the cultivation of the second layer of the Gold Core, and nodded in satisfaction.

 Chapter 1067 - Chapter 1067 Chapter 584 Earth Immortality Scripture

    Chapter 1067: Chapter 584 Earth Immortality Scripture Chapter 1067: Chapter 584 Earth Immortality Scripture Three years after Core Formation, Chen Mobai successfully broke through to the second layer of the Golden Core with the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Even when measured against the history of the Immortal Gate, this speed was among the very top.


    However, given his Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and Fire Spirit Body, coupled with the Rank-4 Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge, it would be abnormal if he didn¡¯t make such rapid progress.


    During these three years, even when he was not at Giant Tree Ridge, he would use Spirit Stones for cultivation. It was precisely this unwavering, dedicated practice that allowed him to break through in just three short years.


    Following the breakthrough of the Pure Yang Scroll, his Golden Core Domain expanded twofold, now with 80 cubic units of space.


    The primary reason for such an expanse was his position as Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, which allowed him to prioritize the use of Void Stones mined from Lonely Spirit Ridge for his own use.


    Over the past three years, with a steady supply of Void Stones, he not only increased his domain from 20 to 40 cubic units at the time of his Core Formation but also completed condensing all the vertebrae of the All Laws Persona.


    A minor realm breakthrough could double the space of the domain, hence Chen Mobai now had an 80 cubic unit portable Cave Dwelling at his disposal.


    With just a thought, the enormous semi-transparent upper half of a skeleton appeared above his wooden hut.


    Having completed the vertebrae, Chen Mobai planned to condense the remaining bones in the human body with the Power of Void.


    Unfortunately, this required a considerable amount of time.


    Luckily, the Void Mysterious Stone Mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge was rich in resources, sufficient to support the complete condensation of the All Laws Persona¡¯s skeleton. Furthermore, now that the Divine Wood Sect had sole dominion over the Eastern Wilderness, it could fully secure the mine¡¯s yield.


    Thus, after Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, the three Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Spirit Vein Division, under his orders, led over a hundred disciples to mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge long-term, ensuring the Sect Leader¡¯s cultivation resources were never lacking.


    Besides these, his progress in the other spells was also quite satisfactory.


    The Precious Golden Light had successfully reached the second layer, the realm of ¡°Seal Treasure¡±.


    In the past, Xuan Jinzhi spent his entire life to achieve just this much.


    Yet, it only took Chen Mobai a few years of intermittent practice, whenever he found the time, to reach such a realm.


    This was primarily because he focused more on cultivation after Core Formation, thus refining the Golden Crystals at an even faster pace, from an elevated perspective.


    In addition to these, there was progress with the Longevity Dao Body too. After failing for two years, Zeng Woyou finally managed to restore the ancient recipe for Longevity Dew.


    The auxiliary ingredients in this alchemy recipe were mostly substituted by him, and the spiritual medicines lost in the trials were worth more than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    This was only because the most precious ingredient, Longevity Tree Sap, was provided by Chen Mobai himself; otherwise the losses would have had at least another zero at the end.


    It¡¯s fortunate that everyone knew that the refining of Longevity Dew was ordered by Chen Mobai; had Zeng Woyou mobilized so many resources and manpower from the Alchemy Department for two years without results, he would have been impeached by the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the Divine Wood Sect long ago.


    That¡¯s the advantage of wielding the power of an entire sect¨Cwith neither the Void Stones nor the Longevity Dew possible without the Spirit Vein Division and Alchemy Department¡¯s leaders personally overseeing hundreds of disciples working arduously, how could Chen Mobai possibly have cultivated so effortlessly at Giant Tree Ridge?


    Of course, for this Chen Mobai still paid nearly five hundred thousand Sect Contribution Points.


    But to him, these seemed like trivial matters.


    With the Longevity Dew, Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Dao Body, which had stalled for two years, finally began to advance again.


    This Body Refining Technique also only needed resources, so although the progress was slow, Chen Mobai was extremely satisfied with his cultivation.


    It was precisely because both his physical body and Spiritual Power were improving at the same time, and his Spiritual Consciousness Realm had already been elevated during Core Formation with the aid of Golden Liquid Jade Pills, that this breakthrough met no obstacles and occurred naturally.


    Beyond this, another thing that delighted Chen Mobai was that his Seven Suns Physique was also stimulated by the breakthrough of the Pure Yang Scroll, showing simultaneous improvement.


    He lost one point in his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots and gained three points in his Fire Spirit Root.


    [Spirit Root Attributes: Metal 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 84, Earth 14]


    Looking at his latest Spirit Root Attributes, Chen Mobai felt the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body was much slower than he had anticipated.


    He knew his Six Suns physique was achieved right after graduation, which coincidentally was the year Luo Yixuan established her Foundation.


    It had been 16 years since then.


    And now, he had only completed one-third of the journey towards the Seven Suns Physique.


    It¡¯s no wonder that practitioners cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll at the Immortal Gate would eventually give up in frustration.


    Even someone like Chen Mobai, who was not short of Spirit Stone resources, felt the progress was too slow, let alone those cultivators at the Immortal Gate who had to rely on hard work alone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, the main reason for his slow progress was that during those 16 years, the first 13 were spent in the Foundation Building Realm, where refining Top-grade Spirit Stones for transforming the Spiritual Roots was much less efficient than after Core Formation.


    If the progression was estimated at every three years, he should be able to achieve the Seven Suns Physique right when he reaches the Perfection of the Golden Core Third Layer. But as both the Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body get more difficult towards the end, he was prepared for a long battle.


    He just hoped that by the time he reached the Ninth Level of the Golden Core, the Nine Suns physique would also be accomplished, so as not to delay his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai took out the Turtle Treasure and teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Every time there was a change in his Spiritual Roots, as the Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect, he never forgot to visit the Talent Tree to give it a try.

 Chapter 1068 - Chapter 1068 Chapter 584 Earth Immortality Scripture_2

    Chapter 1068: Chapter 584: Earth Immortality Scripture_2 Chapter 1068: Chapter 584: Earth Immortality Scripture_2 Although Yin Qingmei only acquired one Heavenly Wood God Needle, he was different. According to the previous standard, he would at the very least get one Immortal Scripture.


    However, because he had only reached Foundation Establishment when he previously tried, Chen Mobai was a bit worried that after his Core Formation, his realm might surpass the limit and the Talent Tree might not recognize him as the Saint Heir.


    [Spiritual Power pure, Immortal Grade.]


    [Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, Immortal Grade.]


    [Extraordinary Divine Sense, Immortal Grade.]


    [Comprehensive assessment, Immortal Grade Talent, eligible for one of the five major Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect, please Saint Heir make your selection.]


    Familiar information emerged, and Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    Watching the five-colored radiance and the twenty-four distinct representations in the inheritance space, he began to ponder.


    He had previously chosen the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, and now if he wanted to help himself, obviously, he should choose the one representative of the fire element among the five major Immortal Scriptures.


    But Chen Mobai already had the Pure Yang Scroll, which was most suitable for him, and he had also invested a great deal of effort into this Cultivation Technique.


    Even if he were to obtain the Divinity Transformation Technique from the Tianhe Realm, he would not switch to practice it. He could at most seek to comprehend it, to see if he could extract its essence and merge it into the Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, Chen Mobai never had high expectations for his own comprehension and did not believe this was something he could achieve. He did not want a new Divinity Transformation Technique to confuse his Dao Heart.


    So after thinking it over carefully, he felt that the fire element Immortal Scripture wasn¡¯t so important after all.


    That left the next three Immortal Scriptures of earth, water, and metal elements.


    After a comparison, Chen Mobai decided to choose the Earth Immortality Scripture.


    Among his four disciples, he had the greatest expectations for Zhuo Ming, hoping she could cultivate at the fastest speed. In the future, he wanted to send her out to manage the barren plateaus and Sand Sea of the Eastern Wilderness in order to accrue merit and comprehend the Dao for Core Formation.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation was also good but could only be practiced up to the late Gold Core stage.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai believed that with Zhuo Ming¡¯s talent, Core Formation was not her limit.


    As a master, it was his duty to provide Zhuo Ming with an ultimate Cultivation Technique that would lead directly to the Dao.


    Beyond this reason, Chen Mobai also suspected that the True Lord Yuan had acquired this very Earth Immortality Scripture and used it as a foundation to create the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Hence, he also wanted to verify this conjecture!


    After considering these three factors, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated. He extended his right hand and grasped the earthen yellow clump of soil.


    Then, the clump suddenly expanded, turning into a yellow hazy light that enveloped him.


    The Green Leaf Talisman on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, which represented the Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect, lit up. The yellow light instantly transformed into a vortex and was absorbed by the talisman.


    Text, images, Dao sounds, and other mediums representing the inheritance became a vast Immortal Scripture, unfolding completely in Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge from beginning to end.


    After Core Formation, the pressure he faced while receiving the inheritance of the Transformation Immortal Scripture was not as great as it was during Foundation Establishment.


    He naturally observed the unfolding of the ¡°Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture¡± in his Sea of Knowledge and began to learn it using his own understanding.


    Chen Mobai had previously discussed the inheritance issue of the Longevity Sect with Elder Ming.


    According to her, although the Longevity Sect had five major Immortal Scriptures, they all evolved from the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Only the ¡°Eternal Life Dao Fruit¡± cultivated from the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture had the possibility of Ascendance.


    The other four Immortal Scriptures would eventually go through the cycle of the Five Elements, transforming into the most fundamental Five Elements Essence, and merging into the Eternal Life Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Sovereign.


    But this was also the significance of the Longevity Sect¡¯s existence.


    For as long as the Heavenly Sovereign could ascend, he could take all of the Sect¡¯s followers with him.


    All cultivators within the Sect should offer everything to the Heavenly Sovereign, making the Eternal Life Dao Fruit supremely perfect, merging the Refining the Void with the Path!


    It was also for this reason that Chen Mobai suspected that True Lord Yuan had attained the complete inheritance of the Longevity Sect and, with his supreme talent, took Earth as a foundation, transformed the Eternal Life Dao Fruit into the Primordial Dao Fruit, and finally ascended!


    After finishing the ¡°Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture,¡± Chen Mobai also left the Talent Tree¡¯s inheritance space.


    All five Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect could be cultivated up to the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    However, the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture could only go as far as the Divinity Transformation stage.


    It seemed that after reaching Divinity Transformation, there was no need for cultivators of this Cultivation Technique to progress further.


    ¡°`


    Compared to the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture which requires a cultivator to possess the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root to begin cultivation, the requirements for the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture aren¡¯t nearly as strict.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    One only needs an Earth Spiritual Body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But the Earth Spiritual Body described in the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture isn¡¯t simply one cultivated through a Body Refining Technique; it needs to be an Innate Earth Spiritual Body formed through a cultivation base achieved by hearing the Dao like Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Such a Five Elements Spiritual Body constitution is second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    After Chen Mobai obtained the Innate Fire Spirit Body, he also looked up related theories from the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    He knew that those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root definitely possess the corresponding Innate Spiritual Body, and it was precisely because of this that they could easily comprehend and become enlightened as they cultivated.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    However, cultivators with a Five Elements Spiritual Body don¡¯t necessarily have a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Nevertheless, their cultivation speed is far superior to that of cultivators without a Spiritual Body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai, as her master, was well aware that Zhuo Ming was not an Innate Earth Spiritual Body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This posed a problem!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But it wasn¡¯t without a solution!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    After thousands of years of development, the Imperial Medical Academy had thoroughly researched various types of Spiritual Bodies. Besides techniques to enhance the Spiritual Root, naturally, there were also methods to artificially cultivate an Innate Spiritual Body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    That is, on the basis of reaching Perfection in the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, one must then refine a single breath of Innate Five Elements Essence.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But it is this single breath of Innate Five Elements Essence that stumps many.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    As he pondered, Zhuo Ming, who had received his message through the Heavenly Communication Device, had already arrived outside the wooden hut.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Upon hearing him, Zhuo Ming opened the wooden door and entered, saluting Chen Mobai. He nodded in acknowledgment, handing over the Jade Slip of the ¡°Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture,¡± which he had already engraved with his Divine Sense, to her.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Zhuo Ming was initially confused, but after reading through it, she was so excited that her hands trembled.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Master¡­ this¡­¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°With my recent breakthrough in cultivation, I could retrieve another Transformation Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect¡¯s inheritance space. Considering you as my appointed successor with the Mother Earth Cultivation having a limit only at the Gold Core, I chose the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture for you!¡± Chen Mobai said gently. Zhuo Ming immediately prostrated herself in gratitude upon hearing this.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This was a Transformation Immortal Scripture, and throughout the Eastern Wilderness, she had not heard of any sect that had such a supreme Cultivation Technique in its inheritance!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Master, you¡¯ve given me all of it just like that?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Zhuo Ming, after standing up, still seemed shocked and surprised.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    According to the customs here, even an appointed successor would only receive the next realm¡¯s chapter from their master after a major breakthrough.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Yet Chen Mobai had directly engraved the complete Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture and handed it over to Zhuo Ming!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Such trust and esteem were not even granted to one¡¯s own daughter.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°This scripture requires an Innate Earth Spiritual Body to cultivate, and you likely can only continue with the Earth Mother Cultivation for now. My reason for bestowing it upon you is to hope you might gain insight from it, and it would be even better if you could assimilate its essence into your own practice.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Zhuo Ming finally realized the prerequisite condition for practicing the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture. Her face showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly rallied and carefully placed the Jade Slip into her Storage Bag.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Master, I still wish to give it a try. Perhaps I have an exceptional talent that will allow me to cultivate it?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai was very supportive of this idea. Zhuo Ming had been accustomed to hardship since she was young and could quickly adjust her mindset after major ups and downs.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Are you still cultivating your Ninefold Law Body?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I am, but after reaching the second layer, progress has slowed down considerably.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Zhuo Ming answered truthfully; having established her foundation, she quickly utilized resources such as Spiritual Rice and Meat from the Divine Wood Sect to advance the Ninefold Law Body to the second layer.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    However, afterward, she spent most of her time managing various Spirit Plants for Chen Mobai, and the time she dedicated to the Ninefold Law Body became even more scarce following her daily Earth Mother Cultivation routine.

    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Ninefold Law Body is considered one of the highest-level Earth Attribute Body Refining Techniques here, covering all characteristics of the Earth Spiritual Body. Focus more on this moving forward. If you can cultivate it to the fifth layer, you might be able to emulate the characteristics of an Innate Earth Spiritual Body.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai had acquired the details of the Ninefold Law Body, which had six layers, from his slaying of Ji Dao Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The first layer represented the Qi Cultivating Realm, the second to fourth layers represented the early, mid, and late stages of the Foundation Establishment, while the fifth layer was equivalent to Core Formation, which corresponded to the strength of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact possessed by the physical body.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If Zhuo Ming could indeed cultivate to this level, it would be akin to achieving the consummation of the Earth Spiritual Body.

 Chapter 1069 - Chapter 1069 Chapter 585 A Flash of Spiritual Light

    Chapter 1069: Chapter 585 A Flash of Spiritual Light Chapter 1069: Chapter 585 A Flash of Spiritual Light ¡°How has Xuan been doing lately?¡±


    After imparting the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture, Chen Mobai inquired about Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation with Zhuo Ming.


    During his seclusion to break through the realm, Qu XiuXian had delivered the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo.


    As a spirit plant, naturally, Zhuo Ming personally took charge of planting it. Considering Luo Yixuan¡¯s condition was not convenient to be widely known, he brought her back to Xiao Nanshan with him.


    Under the care of Zhuo Ming, and the efficacy of the two six-sectioned Pure Bamboos, Luo Yixuan had already suppressed more than ninety percent of the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within her body, and she could carry out her daily activities normally.


    ¡°That reassures me.¡±


    Hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai revealed a smile; this was another piece of good news he received after his breakthrough.


    ¡°Come on, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve visited Xiao Nanshan. Let¡¯s go and take a stroll there today.¡±


    Chen Mobai was mainly worried about Luo Yixuan. After transforming into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb, her body would unconsciously emit a bone-chilling cold aura. If she were to have prolonged contact with others, it would be easy for her peculiar condition to be detected.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    The fair-skinned Luo Yixuan, upon seeing Chen Mobai descend from the sky at the mountaintop wooden cabin, revealed a happy smile on her beautiful face and hurried over to pay her respects.


    ¡°How is your body feeling¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out to take Luo Yixuan¡¯s pulse and discovered that the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, which had pervaded her entire network of meridians, was now all suppressed within her Dantian Qi Sea by the Pure Qi.


    It was because her Spiritual Consciousness Realm was not high enough that the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power could always seep through the blockade of the Pure Qi and escape.


    But soon, the gold-red talisman hanging on Luo Yixuan¡¯s chest flickered with a warm rainbow light, cleansing her entire body and repressing the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power back into submission.


    This was a Spirit Suppression Talisman drawn by Chen Mobai.


    It was a talisman from the Immortal Gate, mainly used to suppress foreign spiritual powers, typically employed in hospitals to deal with individuals who fell victim to cultivation deviation.


    It was also appropriately suited for Luo Yixuan¡¯s condition.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Zhuo Ming flew over, carrying a basket full of ingredients.


    She passed the two stalks of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to Luo Yixuan, who, familiar with the process, began to make a fire and cook.


    While Zhuo Ming took out a lively carp and a Spirit Chicken, bound by spiritual power and unable to move, she took out a butcher¡¯s knife and began her work.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai approached the lush and profusely blooming Immortal Peach Tree. Looking up, he saw branches hung with pink blossoms. Petals, delicate as silk, fell to his shoulders with the mountain breeze, carrying a faint fragrance that seeped into his heart and nose ¨C as if spring had bestowed a gift, making him take a deep breath.


    Underneath the peach tree was a round table with several stone stools, looking as though they might have been made by Zhuo Ming.


    Chen Mobai sat down, feeling the surrounding Spiritual Energy, nodding in satisfaction.


    Ever since transplanting the Immortal Peach Tree here to take root, and with his background as the Sect Leader, the Formation Division adjusted the flow of spiritual energy within the Array of Ten Thousand Woods. Now the Spiritual Energy flowing towards Xiao Nanshan was even more abundant each year.


    Once this Spiritual Energy arrived, it was gathered by the Immortal Peach Tree and suppressed within the earth veins of Xiao Nanshan, causing the grade of the spirit vein, which was supposed to decline due to the development of the Spirit Field, to rise instead of fall.


    Now, the mountain peak of Xiao Nanshan had already reached the Third Rank Peak in terms of spiritual energy concentration.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er has worked hard.¡±


    Chen Mobai remarked with emotion. Apart from the Immortal Peach Tree, halfway up the mountain was a quiet tea garden, enshrouded in a light mist.


    After the mountain wind shed the peach blossoms, they also descended upon the garden. The mist dispersed like foam, revealing the fresh green tea leaves gently tumbling, exuding a fragrance distinct from the flowers¡¯ scent.


    Surrounding the tea garden, the lush green bamboo grove perfectly encircled it, filling the gap between the mountain top and the tea garden, giving the place where Chen Mobai was seated the feeling of a secluded haven, serenely calming the heart and mind.


    Before long, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan arrived with grilled fish, roasted chicken, and Spirit Rice. The master and disciples indulged in a sumptuous meal together.


    ¡°Master, this is the newly harvested Enlightenment White Tea from this year!¡±


    After the meal, Zhuo Ming handed over a canister of tea leaves to Chen Mobai, and Luo Yixuan brought out a complete set of tea-making tools from the cabin to begin brewing tea.


    ¡°Are all those Pure Bamboo?¡±


    As Luo Yixuan brewed the tea, Chen Mobai stood up and, pointing towards the bamboo grove sandwiched between the mountain peak and the tea garden, curiously inquired.


    ¡°Master, these are a new species of Spiritual Bamboo that have propagated from the original Rank-3 Pure Bamboo after it took root in Xiao Nanshan, adapting to the local spirit veins¡¯ Spiritual Energy. Although they can be termed as Pure Bamboo, they are also considered a new variety.¡±


    Zhuo Ming led Chen Mobai into the bamboo grove, which was lush and vivid, resembling an unending sea of green. A light breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, as if playing a symphony of nature.


    The two walked among the staggered bamboo to the heart of the grove, where they came upon a robust, thumb-sized Spiritual Bamboo with only two sections.

    This was the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo that was purchased from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild for fifty thousand Spirit Stones.


    As soon as Chen Mobai approached, he felt enveloped by a refreshing aura, which brought him joy and a sense of expansion in both his heart and Divine Sense.


    This was the naturally purifying Qi given off by the Pure Bamboo. Once successfully planted, it would constantly emit this special Spiritual Energy that relaxed the mind and could also suppress certain foreign spiritual powers.


    ¡°Master, look¡­¡±


    Following Zhuo Ming¡¯s direction, Chen Mobai observed where the Pure Bamboo had taken root; numerous shoots were sprouting, growing into the dense bamboo forest around them.

 Chapter 1070 - Chapter 1070 Chapter 585 Spiritual Light Flashes_2

    Chapter 1070: Chapter 585: Spiritual Light Flashes_2 Chapter 1070: Chapter 585: Spiritual Light Flashes_2 ¡°I tried to cultivate Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice by integrating Green Jade Spirit Rice with this variant of Pure Bamboo. Should it succeed, we might obtain a new type of Rank-3 Spirit Rice,¡±


    Zhuo Ming made a cut in a stalk of Spiritual Bamboo nearby, and Chen Mobai saw grains of plump, slender, pearly white Spirit Rice inside.


    Indeed, these Spirit Rice grains had undergone a sort of transformation after absorbing the natural Pure Qi from the mutated Spiritual Bamboo and might have the potential to become Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    However, to do so, these mutated Pure Bamboos would first need to be cultivated to Rank-3.


    ¡°This is no small endeavor!¡±


    Chen Mobai remarked, reflecting that achieving results in Agricultural Studies certainly required the most time.


    Especially with top-ranked species, whose maturity could easily be measured in decades.


    Even though these mutated Pure Bamboos had the potential to reach Rank-3, even with Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication Divine Skills, combining them with Spirit Rice to produce Rank-3 Spirit Rice might take decades of continuous experimentation and research to bear fruit.


    ¡°Cultivating a Rank-3 Spirit Rice suited for Giant Tree Ridge has almost become an obsession since I became a disciple,¡±


    Zhuo Ming said with a smile as she resealed the cut she had made earlier.


    Since becoming Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple, she had been farming incessantly, experimenting with various hybrid spiritual rices.


    By now, she had come to consider this as her main occupation.


    Although she often communicated with the Immortal Peach Trees, Enlightenment White Tea, and other precious Spirit Plants like Pure Bamboo using All Things Spiritual Communication, deep in her heart, Zhuo Ming still cherished farming and cultivating Spirit Rice the most.


    She hoped to fulfill her master Chen Mobai¡¯s wish and cultivate a suitable Rank-3 Spirit Rice for the Sect.


    If she managed that, the Sect could save tens of millions of Spirit Stones each year, money that would otherwise be spent buying Rank-3 Spirit Rice from external powers.


    Resolving this issue could immediately enrich the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s finances, allowing Fu Zongjue and others to spend Spirit Stones on improving other aspects of themselves.


    ¡°Since you have such an ambition, I¡¯ll certainly help you,¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai applied his Rank-3 Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder to nurture one of the Pure Bamboo Spirit Rices.


    Regrettably, his foundation lay in the Pure Yang Scroll, making his execution of this Wood-based Thunder Method less effective. Moreover, due to the influence of Fire Spirit Rice, the effect of his Divine Thunder nurturing power was even inferior to when he had completed Foundation Establishment.


    An hour later, Chen Mobai had expended twenty percent of his Spiritual Power just to barely mature the Pure Bamboo in his hand.


    After splitting the bamboo, the result was promising ¡ª although not yet Rank-3, several grains of Spirit Rice had surpassed Rank-2.


    This meant that the method was feasible.


    Chen Mobai then used Yi Wood Divine Thunder¡¯s nurturing power again, this time on a Rank-3 Pure Bamboo, but despite expending half of his Spiritual Power, he only managed to grow two more segments.


    Rank-3 Pure Bamboo grew a section every ten years.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s actions left Zhuo Ming beside him astonished, though he himself was somewhat unsatisfied.


    ¡°If only I could refine Water of Ten Thousand Transformations!¡±


    When Yi Wood Divine Thunder advances another level, it becomes Illusory Thunder. The ¡°Water of Ten Thousand Transformations¡± derived from it is among the most precious Spiritual Waters on the Immortal Gate market, capable of revitalizing all spirits and nurturing all things.


    Unfortunately, this Rank-4 Spiritual Water can only be refined by a handful within the Immortal Gate.


    Excluding the official flagship of the Immortal Gate, only the Jumang Academy can put this Spiritual Water on sale monthly.


    And it¡¯s incredibly popular within the Immortal Gate, coveted by Nascent Souls and Golden Core Masters alike.


    As soon as it goes on sale, it¡¯s snatched up in seconds!


    For Chen Mobai, upgrading Yi Wood Divine Thunder to Illusory Thunder was an easy task.


    Just get a Heavenly Calculation Bead and visit the Great Dao Tree!


    But to refine Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, he would need the support of a Rank-4 Alchemist, with his mastery of Illusory Thunder serving only as an auxiliary role!


    When will the Divine Wood Sect manage to train a Rank-4 Alchemist?


    Chen Mobai lamented inwardly. He had downloaded all the Alchemy Recipes available on the Immortal Gate market on his mobile phone, including that for Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    Alchemy Recipe, Thunder Technique, Alchemist!


    Just one last condition is missing!


    If I had Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, my Enlightenment White Tea plant in Xiao Nanshan, under the abundant spiritual energy conditions there, could also level up to Rank-3 in the shortest amount of time.


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s plant was cultivated exactly using Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    I should go back and ask her, after all, she is now a Golden Core Master of Jumang Academy and the future Nascent Soul; she might have a way to get some Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    As Chen Mobai thought this, he returned to the Immortal Peach Tree with Zhuo Ming, who had also cut down two mutated Pure Bamboos.


    This Spiritual Bamboo also contained the natural Pure Qi, which Luo Yixuan needed to absorb every day.


    It¡¯s all thanks to Zhuo Ming, the master of Spirit Plants, using that Rank-3 Clear Bamboo as a source to plant this bamboo forest; otherwise, there simply wouldn¡¯t be enough to supply Luo Yixuan¡¯s needs.


    ¡°Master, the tea is ready!¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai return, Luo Yixuan immediately picked up a cup of tea, cooled it slightly with her own cold hands to ensure the best taste, and handed it to him.


    Chen Mobai smiled, drank it down in one go, then sat down on the stone bench and started to close his eyes in contemplation.


    Seeing this scene, the two disciples also refrained from disturbing him.


    They knew that Chen Mobai always did this after drinking the Enlightenment White Tea, as if he really was comprehending the Dao.


    The two women even stepped out from under the Immortal Peach Tree to avoid disturbing Chen Mobai.


    Luo Yixuan had just taken the Pure Bamboo handed to her by Zhuo Ming and hadn¡¯t yet expressed her thanks when a loud laugh suddenly came from behind.


    ¡°How did I not think of this, it¡¯s indeed hard to see what is right under one¡¯s nose!¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his face joyful, as if he had understood a difficult problem that had troubled him for a long time. With a loud laugh, he called his two disciples over.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master!¡±


    Although the two women didn¡¯t know what Chen Mobai had realized, they congratulated him with small bows when they saw his happiness.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er, what realm have you reached in your cultivation of the Returning Essence Secret Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question that left Luo Yixuan somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, your disciple has only cultivated to the first layer.¡±


    Luo Yixuan had a profound impression of this Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    It was because of this that she was kidnapped by Elder Ming and almost separated forever from the masters and fellow disciples at Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°This Returning Essence Secret Technique has three layers. Once you cultivate to the second layer, you can transfer your Yellow Springs Spiritual Power into your Lifebound Magic Artefact. Would that perhaps release you from your current predicament?¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai brightened Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes, and she stood up excitedly.


    But then, she realized something and her face fell into despair.


    ¡°Master, a Lifebound Magic Artefact is something that only Nascent Soul Ancestors possess; without one, how could I possibly cultivate to the second layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique?¡±


    ¡°For a Foundation Establishment Practitioner to have a Lifebound Magic Artefact isn¡¯t really a difficult issue; you just need someone to help you refine an embryo of the Lifebound Magic Artefact.¡±


    Chen Mobai, during his Foundation Establishment, had already owned two Lifebound items, the Six Yang God Fire Mirror and the Pure Yang Bell. However, since he couldn¡¯t teach the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method of the Immortal Gate to Luo Yixuan, he could only use the method of the Pure Yang Bell.


    ¡°Master, no one within the Sect is likely able to refine an embryo of the Lifebound Magic Artefact for me, are they?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, having heard what Chen Mobai said, still looked worried.


    The head of the Artifact Refining Department of the Divine Wood Sect was only a Rank-3 Artifact Refiner, not skilled enough to meet the requirements to refine an embryo of a Lifebound Magic Artefact.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Just because no one within the Sect can do it, doesn¡¯t mean there¡¯s no one outside the Sect who can!¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a slight smile.


    ¡°By ¡®outside the Sect,¡¯ could you mean True Person Sheng of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Fire Vein?¡±


    Misunderstanding, both Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan thought he might go and ask Sheng Zhaoxi, the top Artifact Refiner of the Eastern Wilderness, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t explain and instead took out a piece of Void Stone from his Storage Bag.


    ¡°This Returning Essence Secret Technique also has a third layer. I¡¯ll pass on the key points to you and see if you can bypass the second layer and directly cultivate to the third layer. If that¡¯s possible, it would save me the need to owe someone a favor!¡±

 Chapter 1071 - Chapter 1071 Chapter 586 It is Said to be a Dragon

    Chapter 1071: Chapter 586: It is Said to be a Dragon Chapter 1071: Chapter 586: It is Said to be a Dragon After Chen Mobai finished imparting his knowledge, he asked his two disciples what requirements they had for their Lifebound Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Master, I suppose I don¡¯t need one yet.¡±


    Zhuo Ming took the initiative to speak up. After all, she was far from Core Formation and had never thought about Lifebound Magic Artifacts. She also believed that Chen Mobai was going to ask Sheng Zhaoxi, an external sect True Person, to assist with the Refinement, and she didn¡¯t want her master to owe others more favors.


    ¡°If the Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo could be nurtured with one¡¯s Spiritual Power during Foundation Establishment, by the time it goes through the Building Dan Heavenly Tribulation with the cultivator, it would become entirely unified in heart and mind. Even if someone else helped in its making, it would operate just as one desires. Since you are my disciples, naturally, I want to arrange the best configuration for you.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, he thought of his other two disciples who were outside and decided to send them a message later to ask as well.


    However, if he was really going to customize four Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryos, his good brother Ming Yuhua might be too busy to handle it all.


    But he could arrange a priority sequence, with Luo Yixuan¡¯s first and the last being Jiang Zongheng, who had not yet made any significant contributions.


    ¡°Master, I want a Flying Sword!¡±


    After undergoing this life-and-death experience, Luo Yixuan saw Chen Mobai as a dearly beloved family member, and upon hearing his words, she didn¡¯t hold back and directly expressed her wish.


    Her master was the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, and among his disciples at Xiao Nanshan, only she could inherit his mantle.


    ¡°A Flying Sword? That requirement is too broad. Think carefully, do you have any specific conditions¡­?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that custom orders for Magic Artifacts at the Immortal Gate required several versions of drawings for comparisons regarding the external design and dimensions before finalizing the design.


    ¡°Ah, isn¡¯t a Flying Sword just a Flying Sword?¡±


    Luo Yixuan found this hard to understand. In the Eastern Wilderness, when it came to Artifact Refining, one could only provide a single external requirement, and the Artifact Refiner would use the materials and the current state of affairs to exert creativity. If one could Refine an Artifact to the required Grade, it was a reason to be immensely grateful.


    Any Artifact Refiner with a success rate above fifty percent was popular, and those with seventy or eighty percent were considered masters.


    Guaranteed success? No such foolish Artifact Refiners were heard of in the entire Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai called his two disciples over and unfolded a sheet of paper under the peach tree, starting to draw and describe examples of custom Magic Artifact orders from the Immortal Sect.


    After hearing all this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan felt as if they had discovered a whole new world.


    They had no idea that so many demands could be made for a Magic Artifact!


    They took the draft drawings from Chen Mobai and decided to think it over carefully that evening.


    After they discussed these matters, Chen Mobai picked up the canister of tea leaves Zhuo Ming had presented on the table. It was after drinking this tea that he reached an enlightened state, which led to the breakthrough idea of using the Returning Essence Secret Technique to resolve Luo Yixuan¡¯s issue.


    Fine stuff.


    Back at home, drinking a cup at the crucial moment could solve some problems encountered during cultivation.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to stand up and leave, the ground beneath his feet suddenly swelled and a crack appeared.


    If he had not recognized what it was in time, a Flame Sun Slash would have already been brought down upon it.


    The long-unseen Tai Sui crawled out, rubbing up against his trouser leg in a rather ingratiating manner.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about this creature.


    Seeing this, Zhuo Ming immediately came over to salute Tai Sui.


    This Spiritual Object had been a great help since Chen Mobai had entrusted it to her.


    Without Tai Sui to enrich and invigorate the soil of Xiao Nanshan, improving the mountain¡¯s geomantic vitality, even if Zhuo Ming could cultivate them, precious Spirit Plants like the Immortal Peach Tree, Pure Bamboo, and Enlightenment White Tea wouldn¡¯t be as vigorous and thriving as they are now, let alone showing a trend of continuous advancement.


    ¡°Master, I previously soaked the seeds of Green Jade Spirit Rice with the juice from Elder Tai Sui and found that after planting them, the Spirit Rice grown was elevated by a minor Grade.¡±


    Green Jade Spirit Rice was a Rank-2, Lower-grade seed, with occasionally some grains plump enough, fully absorbing the earth¡¯s essence, capable of growing into Rank-2, intermediate grade.


    After Zhuo Ming soaked the seeds with Tai Sui Juice, she found that all of them reached the fullest state and after planting, could all yield Rank-2, intermediate grade rice ears of Spirit Rice.


    Upon discovering this, Zhuo Ming conducted several experiments, easily grasping the range for diluting with water to ensure the most efficient use of Tai Sui Juice.


    Moreover, Zhuo Ming also discovered through the All Things Spiritual Communication Technique that this Tai Sui Juice was very versatile. At least on Xiao Nanshan, all the Spirit Plants needing earth¡¯s essence reacted positively to the juice.


    She was now trying to figure out a way to make Tai Sui expand a bit to extract more juice, and to soak all the Spirit Plants she had, even those within Giant Tree Ridge, to test them out.


    ¡°No wonder it has lost so much weight.¡±


    After hearing about the experiments Zhuo Ming conducted with Tai Sui, Chen Mobai finally understood why the always fearful and respectful Tai Sui, upon seeing him leaving, suddenly came out to court favor.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It was reminding him that it was still a contract spirit, waiting for him to take it away!


    ¡°Keep up the good work, and when Ming¡¯er reaches her path, she won¡¯t shortchange you.¡±


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, a hundred Tai Suis together wouldn¡¯t compare to Zhuo Ming, his true successor. He laughed heartily, nudging Tai Sui aside with his foot, before leaving Xiao Nanshan atop a cloud of multicolored mist.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went to Shenmu Hall.


    Yue Zutao briefed him on the sect and Eastern Wilderness matters that occurred during his seclusion, and everything was steadily progressing according to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan.

 Chapter 1072 - Chapter 1072 Chapter 586 Its Said to Be a Dragon_2

    Chapter 1072: Chapter 586: It¡¯s Said to Be a Dragon_2 Chapter 1072: Chapter 586: It¡¯s Said to Be a Dragon_2 Ever since the Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect jointly issued a public announcement regarding the water vein in Yun Meng Ze, even though Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace were reluctant, they had no choice but to send out Foundation Establishment Elders, leading the sect¡¯s disciples to help suppress the demonic beasts for the sake of profit.


    Among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners leading the team from Snow-blowing Palace was Xue Ting, who was well-known to Chen Mobai. It was unclear whether this could be considered a dispatch to a remote frontier.


    On the other hand, the lead from Back to Sky Valley was He Jintong, the Eldest Disciple of Yan Shaoyin, who, after his failure to form a Core, sought to hunt monster beast inner pills in an attempt to create a heterodox Golden Core.


    However, the situation in Yun Meng Ze primarily depended on the manpower of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect to stabilize. This could also be because the main target of the demonic beast army was eroding towards the riverbanks near Dongwu, and they hadn¡¯t felt any pressure on their side for the time being.


    After discussing the external matters, Luo Xue¡¯er moved on to speak about the sect¡¯s financial situation. This year they were able to turn a loss into a profit, and as long as there was no war, they would have a surplus every year.


    Mostly good news, Chen Mobai was very satisfied.


    Yue Zutao: ¡°Sect Leader, there is another matter. Near the border between Frost Country and Snow Country, there has been a fierce fluctuation in nature¡¯s spiritual energy, suspected to be the emergence of a relic or the mining of a Spirit Stone Mine. However, when our people from Snow-blowing Palace went to investigate, the fluctuations in spiritual energy had disappeared.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er: ¡°I think it is very likely to be a Spirit Stone Mine, especially since two medium-sized Spirit Stone Mines were discovered near the junction of Wind, Snow, and Frost countries.¡±


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, there are only four medium-sized Spirit Stone Mines, two of which are in the hands of the Five Elements Sect.


    The other two are each in Wind Country and Frost Country.


    And these two are not far apart.


    If it weren¡¯t for Snow-blowing Palace having some connections in East Land, even Ancestor Hunyuan would have wanted to forcibly take possession of this Spirit Stone Mine.


    According to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, if Snow-blowing Palace really discovered a new medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine, as the new overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, Divine Wood Sect would definitely want a share of the profits.


    Even if it¡¯s not on their own territory.


    Although Chen Mobai intended to gradually absorb Snow-blowing Palace and unify the Eastern Wilderness, he was not willing to let Divine Wood Sect use the occupation of the Spirit Stone Mine as a pretext to start a war.


    Having a justifiable reason to act is still very necessary.


    The best outcome would be for Snow-blowing Palace to admire their great sect¡¯s demeanor, noble spirit, and offer their territory voluntarily, to be incorporated into the Divine Wood Sect!


    This would be the most upright way to subdue the enemy without fighting!


    ¡°Let the Witchcraft division send more people to investigate and find out the exact cause.¡±


    In the end, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone present, Chen Mobai issued an order that seemed very moderate.


    After handling the matters within the sect, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate.


    Things here were even simpler.


    Yu Wood City and Qing Sang Academy had their own complete operating systems, and moreover, the various major departments in the city were managed by higher-level departments of the Immortal Gate; his non-interference was actually the best.


    So, he only planned to take a tour of Qing Sang Academy, after all, this academy is under both the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy, and he was also one of the senior members, which made him care a little more about it in his heart.


    Knowing that he was coming, Vice Principal Song Mutu was early to meet him at the school¡¯s entrance and accompanied him throughout his inspection tour of the various majors in the academy.


    ¡°This year¡¯s enrollment has reached a new high; Teacher Song has worked hard,¡± Chen Mobai said after touring the two most famous majors of Qing Sang Academy and finally reaching the principal¡¯s office he seldom visited more than once a year. He praised the continuous upward trend after flipping through this year¡¯s enrollment brochure.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, a lot of the new students have applied for our academy because of the reputation of Principal Chen; I wouldn¡¯t dare take credit,¡± Song Mutu humbly responded, waving his hands to show that the increasing number of students in recent years was all thanks to the principal.


    ¡°Oh, is this the list of students applying for further study at our academy?¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai came across a document, and after reading the cover, he saw three individual profiles underneath¨Cthese were the only students who had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment at Qing Sang Academy in the last ten years.


    Students applying for further study could fill in three choices, much like how one selects universities during college entrance exams, ranked from high to low.


    The first choice of these three students was respectively Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Jumang Academy, and Repairing Heaven Institute.


    There was no mention of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Recalling his previous words and considering Chen Mobai¡¯s own status as an outstanding alumnus of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Song Mutu looked somewhat embarrassed.


    But although Chen Mobai felt somewhat disappointed, he still smiled and picked up the head principal¡¯s seal of Qing Sang Academy and stamped it.


    ¡°Ever since I and Tianyu graduated, the Dance Tool Dao Academy has indeed fallen into decline a bit,¡± Chen Mobai said after stamping the document, and then he checked the latest rankings of colleges within the Immortal Gate, sighing to find that Dance Tool Dao Academy had once again become the bottom of the Daoist Academy in the past ten years.


    ¡°The Repairing Heaven Institute has produced a genius of incomparable intelligence who has mastered the Guidance Book. It is said that Elder Yuanxu has taken a personal interest in them and brought them into his own new project. The Kunpeng Daoist Institute has also consecutively yielded two outstanding talents, superb geniuses who have completed parts of the Liu Yu Scripture related to wind and rain. Compared to them, our two families have had somewhat of a gap in rising talents over the past decade or so.¡±


    As a frontline education expert, Song Mutu was familiar with the leading geniuses of the Four Great Daoist Sects in recent years and shared this information with Chen Mobai.


    For the most part, it has been a rotation between Jumang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy taking the last place, but a couple of years ago, Jumang Academy recruited a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, who had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment even before attending the academy.


    Once this person with the Heavenly Spiritual Root has grown, Jumang Academy will be able to leave the Dance Tool Dao Academy behind and compete with Repairing Heaven and Kunpeng Institutes on an equal footing.


    It¡¯s no wonder that Qing Sang Academy¡¯s three newly established practitioners are reluctant to choose the Dance Tool Dao Academy as their top priority for further study.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had once outperformed all the talents of the Daoist Academy when he was younger, he did not grow arrogant or complacent, holding genuine respect in his heart for true geniuses.


    ¡°Indeed, ¡®new generations replace the old¡¯!¡±


    After looking up these prominent individuals mentioned by Song Mutu online, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but exclaim with feeling.


    In particular, he always felt that the two from Kunpeng Daoist Institute who had mastered the Liu Yu Scripture were out of this world!


    ¡°You mean Crystal and White Waves, right? They are transformed Spirit Beasts from the Sea Territory and have similar backgrounds to the Sage Narcissus,¡± Chen Mobai inquired of Wen Ren Xuewei about the matter of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and incidentally asked about this too, to which the latter directly informed him.


    On hearing this, Chen Mobai was greatly surprised.


    ¡°Could it be that after a hundred years, the Immortal Gate might have two more Nascent Soul Superiors?¡±


    If they came from the Sea Territory and were like Sage Narcissus, then they were guaranteed to achieve Nascent Soul.


    ¡°White Waves¡¯ future achievements might even surpass those of Sage Narcissus!¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei, sitting gracefully in a pavilion in the water on the other side of the video call, sipped her tea and uttered a statement that startled Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What kind of creature is it?¡±


    ¡°It is said to be a dragon!¡±


    As legitimate heirs of the Daoist Academies who might one day take charge of them, Wen Ren Xuewei straightforwardly shared this significant secret with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Are there True Dragons in the Immortal Gate?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was even more astonished.


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know about that, but even if it isn¡¯t a True Dragon, it¡¯s definitely of True Dragon lineage.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage of Jumang Academy is an otherworldly figure, so she knew a lot about this subject. As an up-and-coming Nascent Soul, Wen Ren Xuewei was quite privy to the academy¡¯s matters, being second only to the Nascent Souls, and most information was shared with her.


    Chen Mobai asked further questions and Wen Ren Xuewei shared what she knew, revealing that when White Waves enrolled, even the Beiming Ascendant of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, who had been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, came out to greet him.


    One can only imagine White Waves¡¯ status in the Sea Territory must be extraordinary!


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that, with this development, the Dance Tool Dao Academy is likely to remain at the bottom for the next decade.¡±


    After chatting with Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai felt sorry about the circumstance.


    A talent of White Waves¡¯ caliber could probably only be surpassed by him if he were to return to academy life now!


    ¡°What are you complaining about? We at Jumang managed to attract a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root apprentice, hoping to reclaim the top ranking of the Daoist Academies after a few years of training. Who would have thought that Kunpeng Daoist Institute would behave so unethically, recruiting a Transformation exchange student from the Sea Territory!¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei was quite vexed. As the one who began overseeing the operation of Jumang Academy after reaching Core Formation, she was eager to achieve results to naturally assume the position of vice chancellor.


    ¡°At least you can vie for second place. Our Dance Tools has nothing but the bottom to cling to.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s self-deprecating words made Wen Ren Xuewei feel somewhat better.

    However, regarding the matter of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Wen Ren Xuewei really had no solution; even the Nascent Soul Superiors were coveting this item.


    After talking for a while longer, the two ended the call.


    ¡­


    The Five Peaks Immortal Mountains!


    Yu Huiping watched Xiao Hei operate the computer, selecting Dance Tool Dao Academy as his top choice for submission and hesitated to speak up.

 Chapter 1073 - Chapter 1073 587

    Chapter 1073: 587 Chapter 1073: 587 ¡°I¡¯ve recently been in charge of a big project, and I expect to be very busy for the next two or three years.¡±


    ¡°I might not be able to help with the Magic Artifact Embryo matter.¡±


    ¡°How about I introduce you to a few people? They¡¯re all geniuses from our Refining Implement Department at the Daoist Academy, only second to me.¡±


    ¡°You can also find a Daoist Academy on your own. Given your current status as a Golden Core Master, Deng, the head of our Refining Implement Department, will definitely show you respect. Perhaps he¡¯ll even use your Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo as the subject for a class of a certain year.¡±


    ¡°However, I think you could also learn the Artifact Refining Technique on your own. After all, you¡¯ve achieved Core Formation now, and it will be at least a hundred or two hundred years until ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.¡¯ A Rank-1 or Rank-2 Artifact Refiner certification should be easily attainable, and for Rank-3, with your supreme talent, if you focus on it for a few years, you should be almost there.¡±


    Ming Yuhua talked at length, and Chen Mobai also felt a bit tempted after listening.


    With his current realm, if he were to cover the Cultivation Arts such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Earth Mastery, and Formation work from the top down, he could easily elevate them to the Rank-2 level.


    In the Xianmen, such achievements aren¡¯t significant, but in the Tianhe Realm, it would be equivalent to a Rank-3 master.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to be distracted before because he felt that his talent wasn¡¯t sufficient and needed to use all his time to improve his cultivation realm.


    But now, after Core Formation, even though his cultivation conditions are the best compared to others at the same level, reaching the Ninth Level of Golden Core would at least take over sixty years.


    In that time, the portion originally used to comprehend the Extreme Sun Slash can now be freed up and reassigned, thanks to the empowerment by the Great Dao Tree.


    Chen Mobai had been considering which spell to cultivate next, but after hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s reminder, he realized it might be time to develop into a hexagon.


    At the very least, fields like Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Earth Mastery could be raised to Rank-2, which wouldn¡¯t take much time.


    Having these skills would make it much easier for him to develop the valuable lands of the Eastern Wilderness.


    He wouldn¡¯t have to wonder how to use any heavenly and earthly treasures he stumbled upon, nor would he need to seek advice from his old classmates back at Xianmen.


    With that in mind, Chen Mobai called Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Teacher, can I apply to return to school for further studies to improve myself, at my age?¡±


    ¡°Studying is a good thing, but since you¡¯re a councilor of Kaiyuan Hall, you¡¯ll need to go through a process with The Three Great Halls for approval if you want to leave your current position.¡±


    As the highest authority of Yu Wood City, the principal of Qing Sang Academy, and a Golden Core Master, Chen Mobai would need to apply to Kaiyuan Hall and go through procedures with the Department of Education and the Personnel Department if he wanted to leave for Dance Tools Dao Academy to further his studies.


    Although the reason for studying is substantial, whether it will be approved still depends on relationships.


    Luckily, as an outstanding graduate of Dance Tools Dao Academy, Chen Mobai¡¯s connections within Xianmen reached the heavens.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make a few phone calls and ask around.¡±


    After saying that, Che Yucheng hung up, apparently setting to work his connections within The Three Great Halls of Xianmen.


    ¡°If the process gets held up, you might need to serve in Yu Wood City for a few more years.¡±


    Half a day later, Che Yucheng called back, speaking in a strange tone.


    ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still on the payroll as a teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy. Che Yucheng, on behalf of the academy, making a case for him to return to Crimson Mountain to study anew was a perfectly valid reason. Coupled with the academy¡¯s influence within Xianmen, this should have been a straightforward approval.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. After asking a few old friends, it seems that Kaiyuan Hall considers the Biyu Wutong in Danxia City very important. They think it¡¯s better to have you, a Xianmen combat prodigy, stationed nearby, which is why they didn¡¯t approve your transfer.¡±


    After hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai wondered if the Peach Blossom Sage might be behind this, especially since he hadn¡¯t given her much face in front of everyone the last time.


    As a Nascent Soul Superior, her words would be taken very seriously by The Three Great Halls of Xianmen.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll just study on my own.¡±


    To this, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t very concerned. The reason he wanted to return to the academy was that the atmosphere was conducive to studying, and he¡¯d been away for so long that he missed it.


    In fact, with his realm of Core Formation, as long as he was willing to dedicate himself and seek advice, the efficiency wouldn¡¯t be much lower.


    ¡°Teacher, how have you been lately? I heard the ranking of the academy fell to the bottom again¡­¡±


    After discussing the business at hand, Chen Mobai started to chat about more casual matters with Che Yucheng.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°You rascal, always bringing up the sore point. But this year, our academy enrolled a super genius in the Imperial City. Perhaps in a few years, we might reclaim the first-place ranking.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°How talented is this genius? How do they compare to me?¡±


    Che Yucheng: ¡°In terms of talent, hardly less than yours.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Are you sure, teacher?¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai was genuinely curious; after all, he was recognized as the most talented individual within Xianmen in the last hundred years.


    Being on par with him suggested that the new student also had the Qualification of Deification!


    When did Divine Descendants become so common?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This new student graduated from the Five Peaks School!¡±


    Che Yucheng revealed a bit more.


    Five Peaks School!


    Chen Mobai instantly realized that it was the only comprehensive school in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, ranging from elementary to high school graduation.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This new student, are they a Divine Descendant? It can¡¯t be another Zhong Li Tianyu, but even if it¡¯s him, he¡¯s been suppressed by me for a lifetime. How could he possibly beat the Transforming students of Kunpeng Daoist Institute?¡±

 Chapter 1074 - Chapter 1074 Chapter 587 Xiao Heis Origins_2

    Chapter 1074: Chapter 587: Xiao Hei¡¯s Origins_2 Chapter 1074: Chapter 587: Xiao Hei¡¯s Origins_2 Che Yucheng: ¡°Oh, you even know that those two students from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute are exchange students from the Sea Territory¡­ But rest assured, the talent of this freshman far surpasses that of Zhongli Tianyu, on the same level as Yuanyang Ancestor. If it weren¡¯t for her Spiritual Root and Cultivation Technique slowing her down, and her own desire to join our Dance Tool Dao Academy, I fear we might not even have been able to recruit her.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more curious about the person Che Yucheng mentioned.


    What level of talent did Yuanyang Ancestor have!


    A Pure Yang Body, coupled with the Immortal Spirit Root after practicing the Heaven-Mending Immortal Technique!


    Even among the multitude of cultivators who have undergone the Divinity Transformation, it¡¯s the pinnacle of the pinnacle!


    Compared to him, Chen Mobai¡¯s fraudulent Qualification of Deification was an insult to the term itself.


    And now, Che Yucheng was claiming that the talent of the new student was equal to that of Yuanyang Ancestor. If Chen Mobai did not know his teacher so well, he would have thought that the institute¡¯s ranking at the bottom for all these years had put too much pressure on Che Yucheng, and he had begun to console himself.


    ¡°Teacher, could it be another Pure Yang Body!?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this possibility; if it was a Pure Yang Body, then it would make sense for her to choose the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which ranked last among the big four.


    After all, it was the orthodox Pure Yang.


    ¡°The opposite!¡±


    Che Yucheng said two words that left Chen Mobai somewhat confused, but quickly, an image of a little girl wearing a black dress, with snow-white skin and a shy face looking up at him, emerged in his mind.


    ¡°Pure Yin Body!¡±


    Thinking of the Five Peaks Scholarly Mansion, Chen Mobai immediately knew who Che Yucheng was referring to and blurted out!


    ¡°Eh, you react quite quickly, don¡¯t you? Correct, it¡¯s indeed the Pure Yin Body, corresponding to our Pure Yang lineage. It¡¯s just a pity that among her Five Elements Spiritual Roots, the Fire Spirit Root is the highest, which has hindered her cultivation progress. It¡¯s quite odd and bewildering, theoretically her Water Spirit Root value should be the highest¡­¡±


    Having his guess confirmed by Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng no longer kept him in suspense and relayed everything about Xiao Hei in detail.


    A Pure Yang Body along with an Immortal Spirit Root created Yuanyang Ancestor, the Immortal Gate¡¯s Divinity Transformation cultivator.


    In theory, a Pure Yin Body could achieve the same.


    Unfortunately, the Immortal Gate has no Divinity Transformation Technique for the Pure Yin attribute; hence, Xiao Hei did not receive the same attention from the Immortal Gate higher-ups as Yuanyang Ancestor. Otherwise, two ancestors might have been requested to help, using the Immortal Technique ¨C Mending the Heaven to refine her into an Immortal Spirit Root as well.


    ¡°Currently, we can only let her practice Five Elements Cultivation while she cultivates the ¡®Pure Ice Jade Technique¡¯, striving to have her Water Spirit Root value exceed that of the Fire Spirit Root at the earliest opportunity.¡±


    Five Elements Cultivation, as a versatile Immortal Gate cultivation method, can be practiced by anyone without any adverse effects when transforming into any type of spiritual power.


    And the Pure Ice Jade Technique is an Immortal Gate Spirit Root Enhancement Technique, which can be used to improve the values of both the Water Spirit Root and the Ice Spirit Root.


    Chen Mobai knew that after Yan Bingxuan reached Foundation Establishment, she had been cultivating this technique.


    Although she had transformed her ¡°Gold Water Spiritual Roots¡± into an Ice Spirit Root with her cultivation, her Spiritual Root Value had not surpassed fifty, so she had always been cultivating this technique whenever possible, continuing to improve herself.


    In the Immortal Gate, Foundation Establishment Practitioners needed to wait too long for Core Formation, so many of their first choices were to do just that.


    Chen Mobai thought back to the time he spent with Xiao Hei at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, feeling that he and the little girl were quite fated.


    However, he couldn¡¯t help but admire the superb medical skills of the Immortal Gate. The Nine Yin Meridian was said to have been an incurable disease in the ancient times, destined to result in death by eighteen. Xiao Hei was not only cured but also transformed into the top-notch Pure Yin Body for Immortal Cultivation.


    With such a fairy body, even if she practiced Five Elements Cultivation, the progress probably wouldn¡¯t fall short of those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help feeling admiration for such talent.


    ¡°Teacher, it seems that we don¡¯t have any instructors in our academy who specialize in practicing Five Elements Cultivation, do we?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, we don¡¯t. What about it?¡±


    ¡°Elder Qingping of the Primordial Elemental Academy achieved ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ using Five Elements Cultivation, and he once detailed the intricacies of every realm level of this cultivation in videos. Can the academy negotiate with him to purchase the rights to those videos?¡±


    In fact, what Chen Mobai really hoped was for Xiao Hei to become a disciple under Elder Qingping, as in the entire Immortal Gate, it was he who had the deepest proficiency in Five Elements Cultivation.


    ¡°That¡¯s a good suggestion, I¡¯ll communicate with the Primordial Elemental Academy about it.¡±


    Che Yucheng had not thought of this aspect himself, especially since the news that Xiao Hei had accepted the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s admission notice had just reached him.


    Now that she was confirmed to be a student of their academy, such pure Qualification of Deification naturally called for arranging the best cultivation conditions possible.


    ¡°By the way, teacher, from which of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains does this talented student come?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although Xiao Hei claimed to have come from Wangxian Peak, Ancestor Baiguang had never married, so Chen Mobai had always been curious about her background.


    ¡°She comes from Wangxian Peak, which belongs to Ancestor Baiguang. She is a child from a collateral branch of the worldly Yu family and was found to have Nine Yin Meridian at birth in the hospital.¡±


    ¡°But the doctors in Yu Wood City had no way to treat it. Fortunately, the Yu family still had contact with True Person Yu Huiping, a direct disciple of the Ancestor. After learning of this, True Person Yu personally descended from the mountain and brought the child back to Wangwu Cave Heaven.¡±


    ¡°Later, True Person Yu also sought the help of Three Extremes Sage from the Imperial Medical Academy to transform the Nine Yin Meridian into a Pure Yin Body!¡±


    Having finished reading Xiao Hei¡¯s dossier, Che Yucheng was well acquainted with her background, and facing his most proud disciple, he did not conceal anything.

 Chapter 1075 - Chapter 1075 Chapter 587 The Origin of Xiao Hei_3

    Chapter 1075: Chapter 587: The Origin of Xiao Hei_3 Chapter 1075: Chapter 587: The Origin of Xiao Hei_3 ¡°Is she still a child born in my Yu Wood City?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt more and more that he was destined to be connected with Xiao Hei.


    What a pity. If it weren¡¯t for the great secret he bore, requiring him to remain celibate and pure within the Immortal Sects, he would have wanted to take Xiao Hei as his disciple.


    After all, his mastery in the Five Elements Cultivation was the true transmission from Elder Qingping and he was considered an unregistered disciple.


    ¡°The ancestor of Ancestor Baiguang was the only Golden Core Master in Yu Wood City under your rule, Yu Zi. However, the Immortal Sects don¡¯t foster family clans. The descendants of True Person Yu Zi maintain only one direct lineage per generation to continue the heritage. The rest are all branched out, and Ancestor Baiguang is one of these branches.¡±


    ¡°After the ancestor achieved Divinity Transformation, it was only logical and reasonable for the direct lineage of the Yu family to come and form a connection. The ancestor focused solely on the sincerity and dedication of the Sword Dao. Thus, all these worldly matters are handled by True Person Yu Huiping, who also contacted me this time to finalize the arrangement for the child to come to our Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°According to True Person Yu Huiping, at first, she wanted to send the child to the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and after ten years, use Kunpeng¡¯s channels to send her to the Sea Territory for further cultivation. If she could gain the favor of the Spiritual Venerable and be granted the Heavenly Realm Pure Water, she could directly transform into a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, allowing her Pure Yin Body to be utilized to seventy or eighty percent of its potential.¡±


    ¡°However, the child is a bit stubborn and seems to view the ancestor as an idol, wanting to follow in the ancestor¡¯s path. She only listed Dance Tool Dao Academy as her preference, and no amount of persuasion could change her mind.¡±


    Having heard all this, Chen Mobai also felt that the arrangement by Yu Huiping was indeed the most suitable for Xiao Hei.


    Among the Divine Transformation Techniques in the Liu Yu Scripture of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, one of them is the Yin sector. If she could fully understand and perfect it, perhaps she could discern the path to Divinity Transformation for the Pure Yin Body.


    As for the Spiritual Venerable of the Sea Territory, that would be an enormous opportunity!


    For thousands of years, generation after generation of Immortal Sect Disciples pursuing Divinity have passed away, but only the Spiritual Venerable is eternal and undying, reigning over Di Yuan Star suspended in the Taixu of the universe, ensuring that life thrives and civilization never ceases.


    Among Immortal Sect Disciples, those who can set foot in the Sea Territory are of the highest and most supreme honor.


    Eventually, Chen Mobai spoke with Che Yucheng about his desire to learn the art of Artifact Refining and inquired if there was anyone suitable to consult.


    If he were to self-study, having a good teacher to consult would save him from many detours.


    ¡°Deng Daoyun is rather busy, let me make a call to Hong Mengkui for you. He just retired last year and is now idling at home, waiting in line for the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine. He¡¯s got plenty of time!¡±


    Che Yucheng indeed had an extensive network. Hong Mengkui was the former cave lord Chen Mobai had heard about during his studies at the Red City Cave Heaven, previous head of the Dance Instruments Daoist Academy¡¯s Refining Implement Department, and also the teacher of his good friend Bian Jingchun.


    He was an Artifact Refining master second only to Master Chengxuan in the Immortal Gate!


    One of their own.


    The next day, Hong Mengkui proactively called and they had a conversation.


    ¡°If you have any doubts during your study, just ask. Don¡¯t be afraid to bother me. I¡¯m just a retired old man with plenty of free time!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Hong!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought it over and decided it was best to address him as ¡®teacher¡¯.


    ¡°Hahaha, well that¡¯s great. From now on, you¡¯re also my disciple. Next time Old Che brags about you to me, I¡¯ll be able to return the favor!¡±


    After ending the call, Chen Mobai immediately received a text message.


    Bian Jingchun: [Hello junior brother!]

 Chapter 1076 - Chapter 1076 Chapter 588

    Chapter 1076: Chapter 588 Chapter 1076: Chapter 588 Bian Jingchun had felt overshadowed by Chen Mobai since they had met; after the latter achieved Core Formation, she thought she would never be able to accomplish anything impressive in front of him in this lifetime.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai suddenly decided to learn artifact refining, and even sought her own teacher for guidance.


    When Hong Mengkui called, she was just making tea nearby. After listening, she couldn¡¯t help but send a text filled with laughter.


    [What rank of artifact refiner are you, Senior Sister?]


    Chen Mobai quickly texted back.


    [I¡¯m just Rank-3, I guess!]


    Bian Jingchun, typing away, felt her hands almost floating. As the top graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and with the guidance of the artifact refining master Hong Mengkui, she passed the Rank-3 professional assessment quite easily.


    [Only Rank-3?]


    This text from Chen Mobai made Bian Jingchun¡¯s eyes widen, feeling slightly aggrieved as her fingers danced across the keyboard with a lengthy reply.


    [What do you mean only Rank-3? As a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, Rank-3 is already the pinnacle of my profession. Moreover, I passed the exam within two years after graduating. In the whole Immortal Gate, there aren¡¯t many who can acquire this certificate before the age of thirty. In the Artifact Refiners Association, I am praised as a star of the future. As long as I achieve Core Formation, Rank-4 is within reach¡­]


    [Oh, you haven¡¯t formed your core yet!]


    Receiving this reply from Chen Mobai, Bian Jingchun¡¯s fist clenched tight, but she found no angle to rebut and could only retreat.


    [Junior Brother, I have some matters to attend to here and will have to chat another time when I¡¯m free.]


    Looking at the message from Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help the smile creeping at the corners of his mouth.


    Only in the Immortal Gate would he find friends with whom he could relax and be at ease.


    In the following time, Chen Mobai began to study artifact refining knowledge on his own.


    With his realm of Core Formation, he had mastered the entire framework of Immortal Gate artifact refining and had it all firmly etched in his mind within half a year¡¯s study of the Rank-1 and Rank-2 textbooks.


    During this period, naturally, there were some professional questions for which he sought advice from insiders.


    Since these were all rather simple, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother the retired elder Hong Mengkui, but instead asked his Senior Sister, Bian Jingchun, who promptly answered all his inquiries.


    Bian Jingchun even shared this matter on her circle of friends, boasting about being able to guide someone with Qualification of Deification, drawing endless admiration from her close girlfriends.


    [This is knowledge related to Rank-3, and I can only share my own opinions on it. You might want to consult Elder Hong about this question later.]


    When Chen Mobai called to ask for advice again that day, she became rather cautious.


    She couldn¡¯t let her own insufficient level misguide someone with Qualification of Deification!


    After ending their exchange, the answer Chen Mobai got from consulting Hong Mengkui was not much different from what Bian Jingchun had told him.


    However, Hong Mengkui¡¯s explanation tended to focus more on the macro aspects, considering the future leveling up possibilities of a Magic Artifact, overall balance, and so forth, while Bian Jingchun would give standard answers based on the requirements of the question.


    But the fact that Bian Jingchun could answer every question was already proof of her profound expertise on the path of artifact refining.


    Chen Mobai: [Senior Sister truly deserves to be the top graduate of the Daoist Academy. Once Elder Hong and Elder Deng and the others retire, it will be you carrying the banner of the Dao Academy¡¯s artifact refining!]


    Bian Jingchun: [Please, no, there¡¯s a junior in the Dao Academy with even more exceptional talent in artifact refining than me; I expect I¡¯ll only be holding a deputy flag.]


    Chen Mobai: [Who is that?]


    Bian Jingchun: [Your good friend!]


    Chen Mobai was truly unaware of Ming Yuhua¡¯s standing within the artifact refining industry.


    However, upon reflection, the ability to pass the Rank-3 assessment during the school period indicates a talent and flair indeed superior to Bian Jingchun!


    If it wasn¡¯t for the utterly astounding quality of the students from the 5012 batch, aside from him with his Qualification of Deification and Zhongli Tianyu from Divine Descendants, Ming Yuhua, as the top student of the Refining Implement Department, would rightly be the leader of their student cohort.


    After all, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s artifact refining major is unquestionably number one in the Immortal Gate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unfortunately, the good friend is now too busy.


    In the midst of these reflections, Chen Mobai had self-studied for a year at the Immortal Gate and finally grasped every aspect of refining a Lifespan Artifact.


    Since he wasn¡¯t planning to take the Rank-3 artifact refiner¡¯s exam, after completing the study of the Rank-1 and Rank-2 artifact refining foundational framework, he just needed to focus on this content.


    Hong Mengkui, who checked his progress from time to time, was puzzled about this, but Chen Mobai already had an excuse ready, saying it was to prepare for refining the Primordial Yang Set in the future.


    [Primordial Yang Set, huh¡­ Given that you formed your core early and have plenty of time, you can indeed pursue that. But as for Magic Artifacts, one or two pieces are usually sufficient. If you¡¯re truly idle, you might as well attempt ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± given that many Fourth and Fifth Rank Artifacts are lying idle within the Immortal Gate.] Hong Mengkui offered some gentle advice, as even being an Artifact Refining master of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his approach to artifact refining was to save effort whenever possible. However, his subsequent remark stirred Chen Mobai, [It¡¯s a pity that the Primordial Yang Set belongs to Pure Yang Academy, and with Nangong Xuanyu there. But with the influence of our Dance Tool Dao Academy, if the president is willing to intervene, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to obtain one or two pieces for you.]


    It may be a peaceful era in the Immortal Gate now, but in a few decades, war might break out, and the Immortal Gate would certainly unseal the top-ranked artifacts at that time.

 Chapter 1077 - Chapter 1077 Chapter 588_2

    Chapter 1077: Chapter 588_2 Chapter 1077: Chapter 588_2 If it weren¡¯t for Nangong Xuanyu, Chen Mobai, with his qualifications for Divinity Transformation, would be the prime candidate for the Primordial Yang Set.


    With that being the case, there really was no necessity for him to refine the Primordial Yang Set himself.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Teacher Hong, I am planning to apply my knowledge and try refining some magic artifacts. Here are the designs I¡¯ve devised; please take a look.¡±


    Hong Mengkui: ¡°Mm, integrating knowledge with action is indeed the fastest approach to achieve unity of theory and practice,¡±


    Having already achieved the theoretical knowledge of a near Rank-3 Artifact Refiner, Chen Mobai passed his designs to Hong Mengkui, who checked the various parameters marked on the blueprints and gave a satisfied nod.


    However, his brows furrowed when he glanced at the material list.


    Hong Mengkui: ¡°You should practice with Rank-1 materials first; these Rank-2 materials are too precious for a novice like you¡­ and there are even Rank-3 ones¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The designs utilize the best material specifications, but I will certainly downgrade when actually practicing.¡±


    Within the Immortal Gate, materials are scarce. If cultivators wish to refine their own Lifespan Artifacts, they would naturally aim for the best quality, and just the collection of materials could take a long time.


    For instance, when Che Yucheng first entered Core Formation, it took him a total of eight years to gather all the core chips and materials needed to refine a Rank-3 puppet.


    Some Golden Core Masters couldn¡¯t even complete their collection before passing away in meditation.


    It can¡¯t be helped, as there were only so many top-tier items above Rank-3 available each year, and everyone was vying for them.


    Some high-ranked items were even coveted by Nascent Soul Superiors.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Hong, for your guidance.¡±


    During their conversation, the two concluded today¡¯s lesson.


    Chen Mobai looked at the disconnected video link on the screen, picked up the printed blueprints, activated the Turtle Treasure, and returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Sect Leader, here are the Artifact Refining materials collected according to your list.¡±


    Inside Shenmu Hall, Luo Xue¡¯er handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai.


    Materials might be scarce within the Immortal Gate, but there were plenty in the Eastern Wilderness.


    As the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he hardly felt anything about Rank-1 or Rank-2 materials. It was only when Rank-3 materials were used up that he would feel pain.


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s command, Luo Xue¡¯er began organizing the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s inventory, and with the addition of tasks issued by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the materials were gathered for him in less than half a month.


    ¡°Mmm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    At that time, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, Wang Tingbo, also stepped forward, indicating that he had prepared the Sect¡¯s best refining room for Chen Mobai¨Cthe intensity of the True Fire within was sufficient for refining Rank-3 magic artifacts.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look together.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately followed everyone to inspect the site and then shook his head.


    The artifact refining technique in the Eastern Wilderness was far too backward.


    They used traditional True Fire to melt ores, then shaped them with Divine Sense or by pouring them into molds, and during the formation of the magic artifact, they would embed various restrictions and attach spells.


    During this process, the temperature control of True Fire, the precision of Divine Sense, and the casting of spells all depended on the Artifact Refiner¡¯s own skill.


    If any of these aspects weren¡¯t controlled properly during the refining process, the magic artifact would basically be ruined.


    In the Immortal Gate, however, it was different. You could set the True Fire to any temperature you wanted, and the machine would adjust it for you; the most expensive True Fire reactor could control the temperature with absolute precision.


    The cheaper ones fluctuated by at most two or three degrees.


    Magic artifact shaping, material fusing, cooling time, etc., could all be controlled by machines.


    It was the transitions between procedures and the step of attaching spells that truly tested the Artifact Refiner¡¯s foundation.


    Nonetheless, since he was there, Chen Mobai still gave it a try in what was claimed to be the finest refining room of both the Divine Wood Sect and all of the Eastern Wilderness, as prepared by Wang Tingbo.


    To avoid demolishing his image as a peerless genius, Chen Mobai picked up the simplest piece of Green Yang Spiritual Wood and then, with a concentration of his gaze, transformed it into a Divine Wood Sword amidst the flash of cold light.


    Relying on the materials, this sword was undoubtedly of intermediate grade Rank-2, and Chen Mobai, with his Golden Core Realm¡¯s divine sense attached, coupled with the theories from the Immortal Gate, easily attached a Purple Fire Sword Light to the blade.


    Even after one, he felt he hadn¡¯t reached his limit and sealed another¡­


    It wasn¡¯t until the third one that the Divine Wood Sword in his hand began to get scorching hot, with a tendency to burn, that he stopped.


    ¡°This is an intermediate grade Rank-2 Talisman Sword, I suppose!¡±


    Chen Mobai put the sword on the table in the artifact refining room with a faint sense of satisfaction.


    ¡°The Sect Leader is incredible!¡±


    Wang Tingbo, not good with words, stood beside the table, observing the Divine Wood Sword and feeling the fierce sword light surging on it, managing to squeeze out these four words.


    ¡°The Sect Leader can refine such a talisman sword in a blink, his artifact refining mastery is truly unrivaled in the sect.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er, compared to him, was much more talkative.


    ¡°I took some shortcuts. When adding the enchantments, I used the method of talisman drawing. If a Qi Practitioner wants to activate the two sword lights, they need to use blood as ink and supplement it with pure Red Flame Spirit Power.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sword refined by Chen Mobai, without his guidance, would probably require a long time to grapple with before the correct usage could be mastered.


    He directly snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and the sword artifact on the table flew up, then he demonstrated the Sword Control technique.


    The Flying Sword erupted with purple-red flames, like a fire dragon racing back and forth in the artifact refining room, amazingly brilliant.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the sect¡¯s grand competition is imminent, this year also happens to be the year for distributing Foundation Building Pills, a highly significant event. How about we use this newly refined Shenmu Purple Light Sword as the prize for the first place in the true inheritance?¡±


    After Chen Mobai demonstrated the Flying Sword, Yue Zutao immediately stepped forward and suggested.


    Mainly because the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions who came along were all covetous of the Flying Sword, all thinking about how to get it into their own hands afterward.


    This was the first Flying Sword personally refined by the foremost sword cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, also engraved with his two sword lights; even if they could not comprehend it themselves, leaving it to their disciples or successors would be beneficial.


    Yue Zutao also thought of this, so he simply spoke up first, to prevent discord among the others over the sword later on.


    ¡°Shenmu Purple Light Sword? That¡¯s a good name, let¡¯s do it your way.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai smiled, waved his sword finger, and the flying sword in mid-air, trailing a line of fire, landed in front of Yue Zutao, who immediately accepted it.


    ¡°I wonder which true inheritor will be able to win the Sect Leader¡¯s Flying Sword!¡±


    Xie Yuntian said with a hint of envy on the side; his Red Flame Sword Jue was second only to Chen Mobai in the sect, and he was only a thread away from Foundation Establishment Completion, making him the most eager for the Shenmu Purple Light Sword.


    However, Yue Zutao¡¯s suggestion, for him, turned out to be a blessing.


    Indeed, after the end of the sect¡¯s grand competition, the true inheritor from the Sword Training Division won first place and got the Flying Sword, which naturally ended up in Xie Yuntian¡¯s hands.


    As for this, Chen Mobai had indeed heard about it but merely laughed it off.


    At least Xie Yuntian still abided by the sect¡¯s rules.


    Compared to the distribution of Foundation Building Pills, he didn¡¯t want to bother with these minor matters.


    Since Zeng Woyou had already mastered the refinement of Foundation Building Pills proficiently, the Divine Wood Sect now didn¡¯t have to be exploited by Back to Sky Valley and could enjoy them alone.


    A total of ten Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured. Zeng Woyou had already started to refine Foundation Building Pills one after the other a year ago.

    Chen Mobai knew best that if a sect wanted to become strong, the future was the most critical.


    Therefore, he had Zeng Woyou drop all his other tasks, even halting the refining of his Longevity Dew, and also mobilized the rest of the sect¡¯s related Spirit Plant and other departments to fully assist Zeng Woyou in refining the Foundation Building Pills. Anyone dropping the ball in this would be sent straight to Lonely Spirit Ridge to mine after the sect¡¯s grand competition.


    Thanks to the Spirit Cultivation Method passed down by Chen Mobai, coupled with all the sect¡¯s resources and manpower at the disposal of the Alchemy Department, Zeng Woyou¡¯s success rate in pill formation had reached an astonishing eighty to ninety percent.


    In three years¡¯ time, ten furnaces of Foundation Building Pills were successively opened, for a total harvest of 86 pills.


    Subtracting the three-tenths owed to Golden Cliff, there were exactly 60 pills left.

 Chapter 1078 - Chapter 1078 Chapter 589 Sect Conference

    Chapter 1078: Chapter 589: Sect Conference Chapter 1078: Chapter 589: Sect Conference Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, when have they ever seen so many Foundation Building Pills!


    Even Zhou Shengqing, a Golden Core Cultivator who had come from the era of the Five Elements Sect, couldn¡¯t help but tremble like blue smoke, almost dissipating, when he heard that the sect had joined forces to refine 86 Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Junior brother, how many Foundation Establishment practitioners do we have in the sect now?¡±


    ¡°Seventy-eight!¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who came rushing to convey the good news to Zhou Shengqing, thought for a moment and gave an exact number.


    Over the years, some of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners had died on the battlefields of Rock Country, but new figures like Gu Yan, Jiang Zongheng, and Ding Ying had also emerged.


    ¡°Perhaps in twenty or thirty years, our sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners could surpass a hundred.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing looked at Shenmu Hall, where Chen Mobai was presiding over the sect meeting, with a very hopeful gaze.


    If there were a hundred Foundation Establishment practitioners and ten thousand Qi Practitioners, then they could bring the Alpha Wood Soldier Formation to its utmost limits.


    In that case, even if they encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator attacking the mountain head-on, they would have the power to fight.


    At the peak of the Five Elements Sect, it was the Five Elements Dao Soldiers enhanced by Ancestor Hunyuan who suppressed the Yellow Springs Path and slaughtered the Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters, displaying formidable might.


    ¡°There will be such a day soon, elder brother!¡±


    Fu Zongjue spoke with absolute certainty, now harboring an inexplicable confidence in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Heaven blesses our Wood Vein!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing uttered a sincere phrase.


    Although it was he who led Mo Douguang to split from the Five Elements Sect, deep down, he still considered himself a member of the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    He dreamed of one day returning to the Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Previously, this dream had always been buried deep in his heart, but now, it suddenly began to sprout.


    Perhaps under Chen Mobai¡¯s leadership, they might truly achieve it!


    ¡­


    There had never been so many people inside Shenmu Hall.


    In addition to the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, Chen Mobai had also called over the guards from the six nations this year.


    The more than twenty Foundation Establishment practitioners present represented all of the upper echelon of the Divine Wood Sect and, placed anywhere in the Eastern Wilderness, were powerful figures second only to a few Golden Core Cultivators.


    But all of them had their eyes wide open, gathered around the table in the middle, looking at the Foundation Building Pills arranged in four dense rows, each inside a special transparent Jade Vial.


    ¡°Sect Leader, with so many Foundation Building Pills, perhaps seven or eight new brothers and sisters could emerge from this batch of true disciples and reserve true disciples in the sect.¡±


    The one speaking was Lu Yi from the Transmission Department, who apart from being responsible for the inheritance of cultivation techniques, also managed the sect¡¯s personnel records.


    The Divine Wood Sect used to produce three or four Foundation Establishment practitioners from its twenty-four true disciples.


    Now, with these Foundation Building Pills, after setting aside the ones for Golden Cliff, they could potentially double that number.


    ¡°I fear it won¡¯t be so many, aside from the ones for Golden Cliff, three-tenths of these belong to the Five Elements Sect,¡± Luo Xue¡¯er of Reward Virtue Hall interjected at that moment, pouring cold water on the situation.


    It was only after Chen Mobai asked that he found out.


    Every ten years, the Divine Wood Sect had to give three out of ten mature Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to the Five Elements Sect; this was part of the agreement signed by a few Nascent Soul Ancestors when the two sects split.


    In past years, after the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured and were harvested, the Divine Wood Sect would directly send all ten to Back to Sky Valley and let the Five Elements Sect handle the exchange with them.


    Last time, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, Chu Zuoshu had Zeng Woyou start refining Foundation Building Pills, but still sent three Mushrooms to Back to Sky Valley to ensure the Five Elements Sect¡¯s share.


    Now, with Chen Mobai in charge and without a peep from him, nobody in the Divine Wood Sect dared do this.


    It was only after Zeng Woyou had refined all the Foundation Building Pills, and Luo Xue¡¯er realized that Chen Mobai seemingly really didn¡¯t know about this issue, that she, as the Hall Master in charge of rewarding virtue, had to speak up.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°How many Foundation Building Pills could the Five Elements Sect usually get from Back to Sky Valley every year?¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er: ¡°Back to Sky Valley ensures there are at least five pills per cauldron.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Then let¡¯s send fifteen pills to the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    It was not yet time to go to full-scale war with the Five Elements Sect and Chen Mobai had no intention of tearing up the agreement signed by Zhou Shengqing. He nodded to indicate Luo Xue¡¯er to take fifteen Foundation Building Pills and put them in a Storage Bag.


    Luo Xue¡¯er: ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll arrange for someone to deliver them later!¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°No, notify the Five Elements Sect and let them come to fetch it. We will ensure the safety of their people and the Foundation Building Pills until they leave Jian Country, but once they are off our sect¡¯s territory, it¡¯s up to the Five Elements Sect to take responsibility.¡±


    Ever since the Divine Wood Sect started refining its own Foundation Building Pills, such a process would become the norm.


    Chen Mobai, anticipating potential disputes in the future, decided to set the rules in advance.


    ¡°Should we also cut back a bit on what we send to Golden Cliff?¡± proposed Luo Xue¡¯er, prompting varied expressions from everyone present.

    While one Foundation Building Pill didn¡¯t hold high value, it could enable a Qi Practitioner to leap through the dragon gate.


    If that person were an unparalleled genius like Chen Mobai, then the value of the pill that helped them establish their foundation would be worth a million.


    ¡°Send the quantity I previously mentioned to Golden Cliff,¡± decisively rejected Chen Mobai, dismissing Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s suggestion without any hesitation.


    Even if it could be done in secret, he firmly believed there were no walls in the world that couldn¡¯t leak, and if Golden Cliff found out about this in the future, those Sword Cultivators would definitely be displeased with their temperaments.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect was now the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, it could not afford to ignore everything nor could it afford to create a rift with its best ally.

 Chapter 1079 - Chapter 1079 Chapter 589 Sect Conference_2

    Chapter 1079: Chapter 589 Sect Conference_2 Chapter 1079: Chapter 589 Sect Conference_2 ¡°`


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    However, even so, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Building Pills still amounted to 45.


    This number had already exceeded any previous year!


    ¡°Sect Leader, besides the distribution to the twenty-four True Disciples, are the remaining 21 Foundation Building Pills to be placed on the shelves of Spirit Treasure Pavilion for all disciples to exchange?¡±


    Chen Mobai had already devised a plan in his heart that would satisfy the sect¡¯s candidates for True Disciple status while also providing opportunities to more Qi Practitioners.


    ¡°First, put 10 pills on the shelf for those who are candidates to exchange for True Discipleship.¡±


    ¡°Then, each year, the first place winner of the sect¡¯s grand competition will be awarded one pill, and after ten years, a new batch of Foundation Building Pills will be perfected.¡±


    ¡°In the sect, if a Qi Cultivating Disciple exchanges for a Foundation Building Pill, then they cannot participate in the sect¡¯s grand competition for the next ten years.¡±


    Although Divine Wood Sect was known as a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness, in reality, many rules had loopholes, like this grand competition. If a True Disciple failed to successfully use the Foundation Building Pill for the first time and was able to participate again after their injuries healed, they were essentially still considered True Disciples.


    In the past, because it took ten years for a new batch of Foundation Building Pills to be refined, and Divine Wood Sect wanted to choose the most outstanding disciples, they encouraged this attitude. Only those who were truly too old and were deemed a waste of Foundation Building Pills were discreetly persuaded to step down.


    But now, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s new regulation, if the first-place winner of the sect¡¯s grand competition could obtain a Foundation Building Pill, these True Disciples might continue to compete to obtain a second or even a third pill.


    Therefore, he directly implemented a ten-year cooldown period for exchanging a Foundation Building Pill.


    This would also give ordinary Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer disciples a chance to see hope.


    Whether it was any system, without a channel for advancement, no matter how large the force, it would eventually become more and more rigid and weaken.


    Chen Mobai was transforming the Divine Wood Sect into a minor Immortal Gate step by step!


    ¡°Sect Leader, what about the remaining one Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er, as the Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, was responsible for placing these Foundation Building Pills into the sect¡¯s treasury and personally supervising them. If they were to be issued in the future, she would also have to personally release them one by one.


    Therefore, she needed to be clear about the destination of each and every pill.


    ¡°That one will be reserved for the chief of the Longevity Academy!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words brought visible joy to E Yun, who had been silent until then.


    The assembly inside Shenmu Hall, upon hearing this, some opened their mouths as if to speak, but then stopped themselves.


    However, when they considered that Longevity Academy was personally established by Chen Mobai, who also served as its nominal headmaster, it was regarded as a benefit for the Sect Leader¡¯s direct lineage.


    In the end, everyone fell silent, implying their consent.


    ¡°Sect Leader, over the past few years, our sect¡¯s cultivators have slain many demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, including three that were Rank-2 peak level beasts, having formed inner cores suitable for refining Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    At this point, Zhou Wangshen stood up and reported his accomplishments from the past few years with enthusiasm.


    He was in charge of Sky Country, the port nation of Yun Meng Ze and, after reaching an agreement with the Nanxuan Sect¡¯s Golden Core Cultivators, he shifted his attention to Yun Meng Ze. In collaboration with the sect, they assisted the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Wind Rain Hamlet in hunting many Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    Among them, what could be presented as achievements to the sect were naturally the inner cores of the demonic beasts used for refining Foundation Building Pills.


    When demonic beasts grow to Rank-2 top grade, they can form an inner core, but only after passing through a Heavenly Tribulation do they truly become Rank-3.


    ¡°Minister Zeng, check if we can refine the demonic beast Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    No sooner had Chen Mobai spoken than Zeng Woyou stood up and began to carefully inspect the matter.


    If the elemental energy in some monster beast inner pills was too depleted, they would not serve as suitable main ingredients.


    ¡°All can be used. We estimate that we can refine 9 demonic beast Foundation Building Pills, but we would need to prepare materials for three furnaces, which is somewhat wasteful.¡±


    After checking, Zeng Woyou spoke calmly, completely forgetting the eager excitement he felt more than twenty years ago when the sect tasked him with refining demonic beast Foundation Building Pills, putting aside all his other duties to focus on it.


    ¡°Very good, Vice Hall Master Luo, record a merit for nephew Zhou!¡±


    Chen Mobai was generous in his praise for Zhou Wangshen¡¯s achievements, and even awarded him three thousand contribution points on the spot.


    ¡°`


    Zhou Wangshen was feeling proud and spirited. After completing his report and returning to the line-up, he even purposefully walked a circle in front of E Yun and Hong He, their attitudes causing the two men to frown slightly.


    But three Rank-2 inner cores meant three more opportunities to refine demonic beast Foundation Establishment Pills, and indeed, this merit was enormous during peace times.


    It seemed that when it came to this year¡¯s achievements of the Town Guards, Zhou Wangshen was going to be in first place.


    Just as the other four countries¡¯ Town Guards were thinking along these lines, E Yun stood out and said, ¡°Sect Leader, your disciple has something to report!¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Speak!¡±


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, back when our Sect fought the great battle against Shake Mountain Peak, Brother Yue, amidst the erosion of the earth veins by the poison gas, rescued some precious Spiritual Medicine seedlings, including the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom.¡±


    ¡°These Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom seedlings were transplanted to the Spirit Fields of Five Willows Mountain and have been looked after by our Sect¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters for twenty years without interruption. Finally, they used the pure earth veins to remove all the residual poison.¡±


    ¡°Now these Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom seedlings can normally absorb earth qi, water vapor, and spiritual energy to grow. According to observations by the Rock Country¡¯s Sect division of Spirit Plants, it is estimated that they will mature enough to be used for refining Foundation Building Pills in five years.¡±


    After saying this, E Yun gave a respectful salute towards Yue Zutao, who was standing by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    During the war back then, even Chen Mobai was preoccupied with fighting. It was Yue Zutao who, after the rupture of the Mountain Peak Grand Formation by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, was the first to lead his cultivators to the herb fields to rescue the precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms and other herbs.


    He was also the one who later cleared the Spirit Fields on Five Willows Mountain, transplanting and nurturing these herbs.


    When Chen Mobai was preparing for Core Formation, Yue Zutao even took a term as the Town Guard of Rock Country. Later, when constructing and developing Northern Abyss City, he did not forget to send a Spirit Plant Master to care for these poison-infested herbs on Five Willows Mountain.


    All the way until E Yun¡¯s time, for twenty years they took turns assigning people to look after them without cease, which finally bore fruit.


    In response, Yue Zutao merely nodded lightly, indicating that this was something he ought to do.


    For the Eastern Wilderness, apart from eliminating opponents after the war, the next goal was to snatch inheritance, treasure valuable herbs, Spirit Veins, and so on.


    Yue Zutao promptly rescuing the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms and other herbs after the Large Formation at Shake Mountain Peak was broken by the Bead that Breaks Meridians was considered normal behavior.


    However, the subsequent establishment of the Spirit Fields and the persistent care in helping the herbs expel and purify the poison was an indisputable great contribution.


    ¡°Very good, very good, this contribution is even greater. The two of you each will be rewarded with a major merit,¡± said Chen Mobai, lavishing praise on both Yue Zutao and E Yun.


    Compared to Zhou Wangshen¡¯s one-off deal of hunting demonic beasts and seizing their inner cores, by plundering the herb fields of Shake Mountain Peak, and after expelling the poison, they were able to provide a continuous supply of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.


    Although there were only two or three blossoms every ten years, for the Divine Wood Sect, it was the hope for another ten or twenty disciples to advance to Foundation Establishment.


    Perhaps in the future, a Golden Core Cultivator would emerge from among them.


    Amidst Chen Mobai¡¯s hearty laughter, he awarded Yue Zutao and E Yun fifty thousand Contribution Points on the spot.


    Everyone agreed that they should have been given even more.


    ¡°E Yun is young and promising!¡±


    ¡°This year¡¯s Town Guard achievements should be led by him!¡±


    ¡°After the Sect Leader steps down, it looks like he has the biggest hope!¡±


    Hearing the undisguised discussions of the older Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, Zhou Wangshen, who had just been feeling proud, suddenly lost his smile and lowered his head.


    ¡­

    After the Sect meeting ended, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was immediately besieged by many Sect Disciples, becoming so crowded that not a drop of water could leak through.


    All those who met the conditions, whether they were True Disciples, True Disciple candidates, or even some Qi Cultivators at the Ninth Layer, came over wanting to exchange for Foundation Building Pills.


    Some with better-informed connections among the True Disciples were naturally calm; but many candidates for True Disciple were a mixture of shock, joy, and worry.


    They did not know how many Foundation Building Pills the Sect would put on the shelves, nor did they know whether any would be left by the time it was their turn.


    Moments later, some left laughing, while many others were clutching their chests in despair, regretting why they had not advanced another round during the Sect¡¯s grand competition.

 Chapter 1080 - Chapter 1080 Chapter 590 The Three Meridians of the Five

    Chapter 1080: Chapter 590 The Three Meridians of the Five Elements (800 Votes for Extra) Chapter 1080: Chapter 590 The Three Meridians of the Five Elements (800 Votes for Extra) Within the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the exchange of Foundation Building Pills had begun to proceed smoothly.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai also paid special attention.


    He was truly uneasy about the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, fearing that someone might lose reason in the face of an opportunity that could transform a cultivator and allow them to ascend a great realm.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s concerns were unnecessary.


    After all, the locals knew their own kind best.


    Many of the disciples who had exchanged Foundation Building Pills didn¡¯t return to their own cave dwellings for cultivation but went straight to rent the sect¡¯s Cultivation Rooms.


    These were set up by Chen Mobai in imitation of the practices at the Immortal Gate, especially opened to calm the spiritual energy for aiding the lower-ranking disciples in their cultivation when Zhou Shengqing had his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± causing a vast surge of natural spiritual energy.


    Each Cultivation Room was fortified with powerful restrictions by the sect¡¯s Formation Division, and even Foundation Establishment Practitioners would need to spend considerable time to break them.


    Many disciples at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation who had obtained the Foundation Building Pill, after buying enough Fasting Pills and sparing no expense with their Storage Bags filled with all their possessions, rented the highest-grade Cultivation Rooms with the richest spiritual energy and plunged into seclusion for their breakthroughs.


    After hearing about this, Chen Mobai called Yi Shaoqing, the head of the Formation Division, to direct the Array of Ten Thousand Woods to channel part of the spiritual energy circulating over Giant Tree Ridge into these Cultivation Rooms.


    That way, if anyone truly made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, they would be able to immediately enjoy the concentration of Rank-3 spiritual energy.


    There were also some disciples with profound backgrounds from the True Inheritance sects who, after exchanging for Foundation Building Pills, chose not to enter seclusion and consume them directly.


    Instead, seeking to perfect their preparation, they continued consuming Spirit Rice, warming and nurturing their physical bodies, purifying their spiritual power, and tempering their Divine Sense according to the knowledge of Foundation Building imparted by Chen Mobai¡­


    And these people were even more likely to succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    Half a month later, Kong Shanxu from the Five Elements Sect arrived at Giant Tree Ridge.


    In addition to him, there were two other Foundation Establishment Practitioners, Tan Rong of the Fire Vein and Ji Guanhai of the Water Vein.


    Tan Rong was a beautiful woman with a fiery figure, while Ji Guanhai was a slender scholar.


    Both were the personal disciples of Golden Core Cultivators, their status and Cultivation Level on par with the Vice Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls in the Divine Wood Sect.


    The fact that all three of them had come together this time clearly showed the high regard in which the Five Elements Sect held the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Yue Shidi, I hear that this time around, your sect¡¯s Minister Zeng has refined a substantial quantity of Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    The one receiving Kong Shanxu¡¯s party was Yue Zutao. After hearing the other¡¯s probing words, he didn¡¯t deny it and simply nodded.


    After all, in recent times, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion had been overflowing with ninth-layer Qi Cultivation disciples, frequently witnessing Divine Wood Sect disciples rushing over impatiently to exchange for Foundation Building Pills with ten thousand Contribution Points. This situation was not something they planned to conceal.


    ¡°Our Wind Rain Hamlet has some Rank-2 Monster Beast Inner Pills. Previously, we have been entrusting the Eastern Wilderness to help us refine them. I wonder if Minister Zeng has any availability¡­¡±


    Ji Guanhai of the Water Vein spoke up. They presided over Yun Meng Ze, where demonic beast resources were the most abundant.


    If King Zhou could lead hunts for three heads, they would surely have more, not fewer.


    ¡°That matter I need to discuss with the Sect Leader. However, Minister Zeng¡¯s schedule for refining Foundation Building Pills has already been filled for the next two years. Even if the Sect Leader agrees, you will have to wait.¡±


    After refining ten furnaces of Foundation Building Pills for the sect, Zeng Woyou had worked intensely for three whole years, turning what he initially regarded as the greatest honor of his life into something he was tired and bored of doing.


    Now that King Zhou had provided the Alchemy Department with the job of refining three furnaces of Monster Beast Foundation Building Pills, Zeng Woyou really couldn¡¯t muster his spirits anymore.


    Chen Mobai gave Zeng Woyou half a year¡¯s rest. However, the auxiliary materials for the Foundation Building Pills were still being collected orderly by the sect. Moreover, at his suggestion, Yan Jinye, his former assistant, received an opportunity to refine Monster Beast Foundation Building Pills.


    If there was only one person within the sect capable of refining Foundation Building Pills, it would be troublesome for Divine Wood Sect should anything happen to Zeng Woyou, as they would have to seek help from Back to Sky Valley again.


    Yan Jinye was very excited about this chance.


    As an Alchemist who had received Zeng Woyou¡¯s true teachings, she had been involved in every batch of Foundation Building Pills within the sect.


    She was already thoroughly familiar with the process of refining such elixirs, only lacking the practical opportunity.


    However, with Foundation Building Pills being so important, even Zeng Woyou did not dare to decide on his own. Only with the go-ahead from Sect Master Chen could she assume such responsibility.


    Because the Alchemists in the Eastern Wilderness all grew through a series of failed attempts, Yan Jinye¡¯s first batch of Monster Beast Foundation Building Pills was almost guaranteed not to succeed.


    Knowing this, Chen Mobai made a point of calling Yan Jinye over to encourage her, telling her to boldly proceed and not fear failure, with the sect there to support her.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Jinye, who had initially been somewhat nervous, completely relaxed.


    Today was the day the Divine Wood Sect handed over the Foundation Building Pills to the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai did not make an appearance, leaving Yue Zutao and Luo Xue¡¯er to manage the exchange.


    Inside the Reward Virtue Hall, Kong Shanxu¡¯s party looked at the fifteen Foundation Building Pills, each individually packaged in transparent Jade Vials, with great curiosity.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a jade vial made of such material; from what sort of ore is it refined?¡±


    As a Foundation Establishment Practitioner of the Earth Vein, Kong Shanxu had encountered most of the ores and jades in the Eastern Wilderness, but he had never come across glass, a man-made substance.


    ¡°It¡¯s an ancient recipe that Sect Master obtained from the Longevity Sect. It can be used as a substitute for jade and is even more convenient for inscribing spiritual patterns and restrictions. During the smelting process, they can be impressed into the body of the vial. Once formed, it only needs to be activated with spiritual power to maintain constant temperature, coldness, and other effects.¡±


    This type of glass vial mainly came about because Chen Mobai previously ordered the conversion of all sect inheritances into jade slips, which resulted in a shortage of the jade traditionally used to store elixirs and precious plants within the Divine Wood Sect.


    Yue Zutao brought up this issue, hoping to temporarily delay the conversion of inheritances into jade slips, because without the jade to seal and store them, the effectiveness of elixirs would dissipate too rapidly.


    However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai directly downloaded the instructions for glass production from the Immortal Gate Network.


    This was the alternative to jade chosen by the Immortal Gate, and if powdered spirit stone was added during the refining process, the effects could even surpass those of jade.


    This powdered spirit stone, also known as Spiritual Extract, is nothing but crushed dry spirit stones. The Immortal Gate generally adds only a little to enable the storage of spiritual power, facilitating the inscription of spiritual patterns and forming restrictions.


    But in the Eastern Wilderness, these are considered waste materials.


    After obtaining the glass production technique from Chen Mobai, the Artifact Refining Department and the Spirit Vein Division collaborated to research for a year and soon replicated the process.


    Although the craftsmanship is not as standardized as that of the Immortal Gate, the addition of powdered spirit stone here is more generous, almost over half the proportion, leading to effects that greatly outperform even the best glass from the Immortal Gate.


    Kong Shanxu and the two others were envious when they heard this.


    The fact that Chen Mobai was the Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect had already spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness, and everyone attributed his rapid cultivation to the inheritance he received from this ancient and powerful sect.


    No one expected that he would now selflessly share these remarkable items with the Divine Wood Sect; the fortune of the Wood Vein was indeed remarkable!


    In their envy, they opened each of the fifteen glass vials to inspect every Foundation Building Pill.


    Among them, Tan Rong and Ji Guanhai were mainly concerned with the elixirs, but Kong Shanxu kept examining the glass vials, wondering if he could replicate the manufacturing process once he returned.


    ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the elixirs, so let¡¯s divide them up.¡±


    In the presence of Yue Zutao and Luo Xue¡¯er, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the three veins of the Five Elements Sect each took five Foundation Building Pills.


    Watching this scene, Yue Zutao¡¯s mind stirred slightly, wondering if the sect could spare two more Foundation Building Pills when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured next time, and carry out a ¡®Two Peaches Kill Three Scholars¡¯ scheme!


    ¡°Brother Yue, Sister Luo, we need to urgently take these Foundation Building Pills back. Might we have the opportunity to meet Sect Master Chen before we leave?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s unfortunate timing, Brother Jia Songyang from Golden Cliff has just arrived today for the Foundation Building Pills, and the Sect Master is currently meeting with him personally.¡±


    Upon hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s words, Kong Shanxu and the others twitched slightly at the corner of their mouths, feeling somewhat snubbed, but knowing Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect were close as siblings, indeed they could not compare with each other¡¯s factions.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Yet outwardly, the three dared not express any dissatisfaction with the Golden Core Cultivator and, after speaking, they requested to use the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Teleportation Array to leave.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Kong Shanxu was the first to leave. Tan Rong inquired about Ding Ying; when Chen Mobai had led a patrol of the Eastern Wilderness, the two had interacted and could be considered friends.


    ¡°Sister Ding is teaching at the Longevity Academy. If you wish to find her, you need to go to Northern Abyss City in Rock Country.¡±


    As a woman, Luo Xue¡¯er had more interaction with Tan Rong, who was still unaware of the Longevity Academy. After the explanation, she could not help but express her amazement.


    ¡°Immortal cultivation can also involve education?¡±


    Qi cultivation focuses on enhancing one¡¯s own Spiritual Root characteristics, with each person being unique. Even within the sects, the norm is to provide guidance for entry, give you the cultivation techniques, and let you comprehend for yourself.


    The idea of a scholarly mansion for cultivation like the Longevity Academy, did it really work for cultivators?


    ¡°If Sister Tan has the time, you can visit the Longevity Academy. This year, the first cohort of students will graduate, and the Sect Master, as the principal, will be there in person too.¡±


    After hearing Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s words, Tan Rong felt intrigued. She had long been curious about Chen Mobai, the number one Sect Master of the Eastern Wilderness, having missed two opportunities to meet him.


    Visiting the Longevity Academy would be an opportunity to help the sect learn if this scholarly approach to cultivation was effective.


    Moreover, she had the acquaintance of Ding Ying there.


    ¡°Sister Luo, I need to get these Foundation Building Pills back to our sect first.¡±


    However, Tan Rong didn¡¯t forget her mission here; Luo Xue¡¯er nodded and personally escorted her to the teleportation array hall at Giant Tree Ridge.


    Shenmu Hall.


    Chen Mobai was talking with Jia Songyang who was still somewhat excited, his right hand occasionally patting the storage bag at his waist with 26 Foundation Building Pills inside.

    Since Golden Cliff became independent, they hadn¡¯t seen so many Foundation Building Pills.


    Indeed, entrusting these matters to the Divine Wood Sect was the right move; now Foundation Building Pills could even be produced in batches.


    After a long while, Jia Songyang recovered from his excitement, and didn¡¯t waste the opportunity to seek guidance from Chen Mobai on the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    During this time, two individuals arrived at Shenmu Hall.


    One was Yue Zutao, who brought Ji Guanhai from the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Water Vein to this place.

 Chapter 1081 - Chapter 1081 Chapter 591 The Immortal Peach Tree Bears Fruit

    Chapter 1081: Chapter 591: The Immortal Peach Tree Bears Fruit (Extra Chapter for 1600 Monthly Tickets) Chapter 1081: Chapter 591: The Immortal Peach Tree Bears Fruit (Extra Chapter for 1600 Monthly Tickets) ¡°`


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master Chen. This is from my master for you,¡±


    Upon entering, Ji Guanhai first paid his respects to Chen Mobai, then delivered a letter.


    ¡°It¡¯s been four years since I last met Brother Nu Jiang¡­,¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a trace of sentiment as he opened the letter and his relaxed expression turned slightly serious after reading it.


    ¡°Has the situation really become this grave?¡±


    Not long ago, a Dongwu army of cultivators, tasked with exterminating the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters, suffered a devastating blow. One of their treasure ships, anchored by a Golden Core Cultivator, was destroyed by the rampaging monster horde.


    From Core Formation to Qi Cultivation, all were slain by the monsters, not a single person escaped.


    When the head of the Dongwu Sun Family, Sun Huangji, arrived with a fleet of treasure ships, all he found was a blood-stained expanse of water strewn with floating limbs and wreckage of ships.


    And an overwhelming, countless horde of demonic beasts!


    Fortunately, Sun Huangji was a proficient cultivator, already at perfect Core Formation, and with the entire Sun Family fleet formed into a battle array, he engaged the monster hordes in direct combat in a fit of rage.


    In the end, nearly a thousand monster corpses were left behind, and one of the prized Rank-3 treasure ships was breached and sank.


    But the victory was astonishing. Taking advantage of the power of the battle array, Sun Huangji broke into the midst of the monster horde and slaughtered two Rank-3 monsters.


    It was precisely because of this that the monster army dispersed; otherwise, the Sun family might have lost more than just one Rank-3 treasure ship, possibly the whole army.


    After this massive battle, the war between Dongwu and the monsters could no longer be contained.


    The Sun family issued a Yellow Martial Decree, beginning to conscript treasure ship cultivators from all the major Dongwu families into a grand hunting alliance army. Sun Huangji took the role as the alliance leader, determined to avenge the dead cultivators of his family.


    Since they wished to eradicate the monsters in Cloud Dream Marsh, the Sun family naturally sought help from the Eastern Wasteland as well.


    The Sun family¡¯s second-in-command, Sun Huanglong, came in person to discuss with True Person Nu Jiang, hoping the Eastern Wasteland too would cooperate, and both forces would mount a pincer attack from both the east and west banks along the center of Cloud Dream Marsh.


    The intent was to eradicate every monster visible to the cultivators from within the Cloud Dream Marsh.


    But the situation was too critical for Nu Jiang to decide alone.


    He informed Zhou Ye of the Hunyuan Immortal City, but the latter indicated that the Five Elements Sect only had enough power for self-preservation at the moment and lacked the authority and prestige to unite all the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland. He felt that observing the situation would be best.


    Although he was diplomatic in his words, Zhou Ye¡¯s meaning was clear¨Che didn¡¯t care about the Sun family¡¯s life or death.


    If he could command the entire Five Elements Sect, Zhou Ye would even wish to aid the demonic beasts in annihilating the Sun family while they were battling.


    With Zhou Ye¡¯s disapproval, Nu Jiang had to seek assistance elsewhere.


    Sheng Zhaoxi of the Fire Vein was quite decent and gave face. Although her cultivation technique would be greatly reduced in the environment of Cloud Dream Marsh, she stated that if necessary, she could personally come to Wind Rain Hamlet, helping Nu Jiang to preside and seal.


    With that, Nu Jiang could lead the cultivators of the Water Vein away from Wind Rain Hamlet to fight against the monsters.


    But relying solely on the Water Vein was not enough!


    Just as the news of the Divine Wood Sect successfully refining Foundation Building Pills came, Nu Jiang wrote a letter, asking his disciple to bring it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°To report to Sect Master Chen, my master feels that if it weren¡¯t for the Sun family holding back the pressure of the monster army on the West Bank of Cloud Dream Marsh, our Eastern Wasteland might have already been in dire straits¡­¡±


    Ji Guanhai conveyed Nu Jiang¡¯s thoughts, which essentially boiled down to a shared misfortune.


    Now, neither Dongwu nor the Eastern Wasteland had any Nascent Soul Cultivators. Should the monster army land, it would be impossible for mere mortals to withstand them; they¡¯d be reduced to blood food.


    But that was not the most significant concern. After all, the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm held little regard for mortals, and most wouldn¡¯t raise an eyebrow even if all were to perish.


    Against an army of cultivators, they need only defend the Mountain Protection Array.


    However, at the center of Cloud Dream Marsh, a Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon was sealed.


    If the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland were to all flee Cloud Dream Marsh, the cage, built upon thousands of water ponds and the spiritual veins of the Eastern Wasteland and Dongwu, would soon be broken by the monsters with the simplest and most brute method.


    This Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon was an extremely formidable being that required the intervention of three Nascent Soul Cultivators to be sealed.


    Should it break out of its seal, it¡¯s not only Dongwu and the Eastern Wasteland that would be concerned; even the neighboring East Barbarians would frown upon the situation.


    ¡°On this matter, my view aligns with Brother Nu Jiang,¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, uttering a phrase that brought joy to Ji Guanhai.


    After all, the Divine Wood Sect was now the hegemon of the Eastern Wasteland, and with its current burgeoning trend, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners increased and another Golden Core Cultivator might emerge.


    With their assistance, this war against the monsters could at least see the Eastern Wasteland forming an allied force.


    Chen Mobai agreed because he already viewed this territory as his own. If various large-scale projects were implemented as planned, he would essentially possess a small Immortal Sect that completely obeyed his command, with resources at his disposal.


    ¡°`


    Having arrived in the Eastern Wasteland thirty-two years ago, he had already taken root here, investing most of his emotions and time, and was on the verge of reaping a bountiful harvest. He could not let a single malevolent creature ruin it all.


    Chen Mobai sent a reply to Nu Jiang, sharing his thoughts and stating that he would soon mobilize cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff to aid him at Wind Rain Hamlet.


    It was fortunate that Jia Songyang was also here. When he returned, he could mention this matter to Mo Douguang as well.


    When Ji Guanhai, holding Chen Mobai¡¯s reply, was about to leave via the teleportation array, he looked back in the direction of the Shenmu Hall and, upon bidding farewell to Yue Zutao outside the formation, he said with respect,


    ¡°Sect Master Chen of your esteemed sect has a heart that embraces the entire world, truly a blessing for the Eastern Wasteland!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao was slightly taken aback, then remembered what Chen Mobai had told him about the new policies and the various conversations about transforming the Eastern Wasteland and its vast future, prompting him to nod emphatically.


    ¡°The Sect Master¡¯s aspirations are as deep as valleys, aiming for the far reaches, and it¡¯s not only the world of this Eastern Wastaland that he concerns himself with.¡±


    This remark from Yue Zutao caused Ji Guanhai to pause briefly.


    At that moment, the teleportation array began to brighten up, and he could only wave goodbye.


    Xiao Nanshan!


    Luo Yixuan sat quietly under the Immortal Peach Tree. A petal of pinkish-white peach blossom, carried by the Fresh Wind and resembling a raindrop, landed on her jet-black hair. The smooth strands of hair gently slid the petal down her snow-white and delicate cheek, and, as beautiful as the petal was, it only served to highlight her radiance even more.


    Her face and the peach blossoms set off each other¡¯s beauty!


    Chen Mobai, who was seated nearby as her protector, saw that petal finally come to rest on the snowy white fabric draped over Luo Yixuan¡¯s shoulder. With every breath, he was greeted by the fragrance of peach blossoms combined with the soft hues of pale red and white, an undeniably pleasing sight.


    He took a sip from the cup of tea that Zhuo Ming had prepared and handed to him.


    ¡°Master, two fruits of the peach tree have ripened. I shall pick them for you to taste.¡±


    After brewing the tea, Zhuo Ming pointed to the luxuriant Immortal Peach Tree overhead, its branches filled with a mix of pinkish-white petals and fruits.


    ¡°The initial consumption of this fruit can enhance one¡¯s supply by 20 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power, which for me is merely a replenishment of Elemental Energy, satisfying one¡¯s appetite. You should eat it instead,¡± Chen Mobai said, looking up at the perfectly rounded, abundant fruits on the tree branches with a smile on his face.


    This Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree had grown for a thousand years atop the Hei Yun mountain¡¯s spiritual vein, having already reached the zenith of Third Rank Superior Grade.


    When the Yuan family took care of it, the tree would bear fruits every twenty years, yielding roughly five to six peaches each time.


    After Chen Mobai executed Yuan Hongyuan, the Spirit Plant Department of Divine Wood Sect immediately took control of Black Cloud Mountain, primarily for the sake of this thousand-year-old Immortal Peach Tree.


    However, due to its subsequent transplantation to Xiao Nanshan, the tree¡¯s fruiting was delayed by several years before it began to adapt to the local ley lines and resumed blossoming and bearing fruits.


    Under Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, and with the essence of Tai Sui present in the soil right below the tree, the small portion of Xiao Nanshan where the tree resided became especially rich in nutrients, resulting in an unusually abundant yield of peaches.


    After counting them, Chen Mobai found there to be twenty-seven in total.


    In fact, two years prior, the tree had already begun to bear fruit, with about forty to fifty peaches. However, due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, many could not grow to maturity.


    Zhuo Ming estimated that a Rank-4 Spirit Vein would be needed for the Immortal Peach Tree to fully thrive and for all its fruits to ripen.


    Upon learning this, Chen Mobai had the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division of his sect start considering ways to upgrade Xiao Nanshan¡¯s spiritual vein to Rank-4.


    But this was not an overnight process; it also necessitated that part of the Spiritual Vein Core beneath the three Everlife Woods be diverted here.


    This not only required Chen Mobai¡¯s consent but also involved consulting Fu Zongjue.


    After knowing the details, Chen Mobai did not push for the upgrade.


    He knew that if he spoke up, Fu Zongjue would not refuse.


    But there was no need.


    After all, the value of the Immortal Peach Tree surely did not compare to the importance of the Spiritual Energy necessary for the cultivation of two Golden Core Cultivators.


    Moreover, one way to upgrade to a Rank-4 spiritual vein was via a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, such as the Mother Earth Stone they had fought over at Shake Mountain Peak.


    Unfortunately, such a valuable item would only form in the core of a major spirit stone mine, and that particular Mother Earth Stone had already been refined by Zhou Shengqing to foster his Longevity True Qi.

    Of course, that¡¯s the method in the Tianhe Realm. The Immortal Gates surely have different techniques, which are undoubtedly more intricate and troublesome to execute than either of the aforementioned.


    Chen Mobai planned to systematically learn more when he studied the knowledge pertaining to Earth Master formations.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, since your cultivation has reached a bottleneck at the early foundation stage, consuming the fruit of the Immortal Peach Tree should enable your breakthrough. After Xuan finishes her meditation, you can consume it here, and I will protect you as you do so,¡± he instructed.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Zhuo Ming replied with a joyful smile on her face, promptly topping up Chen Mobai¡¯s cup of tea, which he had drained.


    Leisurely sipping tea with his disciple attending to him, Chen Mobai wished that he could enjoy this relaxed lifestyle forever.

 Chapter 1082 - Chapter 1082 Chapter 592 Fire Jade Heart Lotus All-things

    Chapter 1082: Chapter 592: Fire Jade Heart Lotus, All-things Altruistic Cauldron Chapter 1082: Chapter 592: Fire Jade Heart Lotus, All-things Altruistic Cauldron Luo Yixuan sent the last trace of Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within her body into the pale red, lotus-shaped Warm Jade in the Void space inside her chest, feeling an immense sense of relief as if a great burden had been lifted.


    She opened her eyes, and at a thought, her body no longer felt any heaviness or hindrance, light as a feather. The sensation of perfectly controlling her body was something she hadn¡¯t felt in over a decade.


    Finally¡­


    ¡°You¡¯ve finished cultivating, haven¡¯t you? How do you feel? Come over here, and I¡¯ll check on you.¡±


    In her surprise and joy, a familiar and gentle voice resonated beside her ear. She turned her head and saw Chen Mobai seated under the peach tree, sipping tea, and Zhuo Ming, who had just flown down from the tree, holding two huge Immortal Peach Fruits in her hands.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    With a tip of her toe, Luo Yixuan¡¯s graceful and slender body obediently floated upward and moved towards Chen Mobai¡¯s location.


    However, having not fully mastered control of her body for quite some time, she didn¡¯t gauge her strength properly and floated too far.


    A gentle wave of Spiritual Power bound her in mid-air, and then a pair of hands, one around her waist, and another belonging to a young girl in a coarse hemp shirt, gently brought her back to ground.


    ¡°Thank you, senior sister!¡±


    Once on the ground, Luo Yixuan immediately thanked Zhuo Ming, who had a basket woven from vines slung on her right arm, containing two fragrant, pink and white peach fruits.


    Zhuo Ming had just been picking fruits from the peach tree and lent a hand when she saw her lose control.


    ¡°Not bad. The Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within you has all been transferred into the Small Void. Even though your physique has transformed, there should be no issue with normal cultivation.¡±


    After taking Luo Yixuan¡¯s pulse, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction.


    Following his guidance, and with the help of enough Void Stones, Luo Yixuan succeeded in the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique. Then, using her Divine Sense, she transferred out the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power that did not belong to her, little by little.


    Due to Luo Yixuan¡¯s insufficient level of Divine Sense Realm, the Small Void required a physical entity to anchor to. Conveniently, Chen Mobai had succeeded in Artifact Refining and used a piece of Thousand-year Warm Jade he had on hand to refine the ¡°Fire Jade Heart Lotus,¡± the embryo of her Lifebound Magic Artifact.


    This Artifact was one that Chen Mobai had come across in the ¡°Magic Artifact Compendium¡± at the Dance Tool Dao Academy Library when he was choosing the embryo for his own Lifespan Artifact.


    The function of this Artifact was similar to that of the Pure Yang Bell. It suppressed Heart Demons and protected the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. For Luo Yixuan, who had a frail Divine Sense and overly powerful Spiritual Power, it was perfectly suitable.


    Moreover, the Artifact had the effect of warding off evil. Luo Yixuan had been transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb, making her the ideal possession target for countless Ghost Cultivators on the Yellow Springs Path.


    Chen Mobai could not possibly protect her at all times, so after much deliberation, he refined this Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo for her.


    Another key point was that he had this piece of Thousand-year Warm Jade, which had been sent by the Snow-blowing Palace at the time of his Core Formation Grand Ceremony.


    After helping him cleanse the Elixir toxin from consuming the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, he had kept this Warm Jade within his Domain and had nearly forgotten about it.


    Refining the Fire Jade Heart Lotus required another key material: the Red Lotus that grows deep within volcanoes.


    If it were on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, it would naturally be difficult to collect.


    But in the Eastern Wilderness, with the influence of the Divine Wood Sect and Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, it was quite straightforward.


    Back to Sky Valley was established by the largest volcano group in Summer Country, utilizing the abundant Earth Fire resources there for Alchemy.


    Chen Mobai had Liu Wenbo personally dispatched with his letter to request an audience with Yan Shaoyin.


    Among the deep volcanic group controlled by Back to Sky Valley is the Earth Fire Red Lotus, which can be used to refine Red Lotus Pills. These pills nourish and temper the divine consciousness and drive away Heart Demons.


    This elixir is also one of the trademarks of Back to Sky Valley; even Yan Shaoyin, a Golden Core Cultivator, often consumes it for its benefits.


    If someone else wanted to purchase the Earth Fire Red Lotus, Yan Shaoyin would undoubtedly not even entertain the request.


    But Chen Mobai was different!


    He was now the Sect Master of the Divine Wood Sect, the dominant power in the Eastern Wilderness¨Can individual who could not be offended.


    Furthermore, with the previous event involving the Mother Locust, he owed Chen Mobai a favor, so this request was something he had to honor.


    Since Chen Mobai planned on refining a Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo and had to consider upgrading to Third Rank in the future, he sought to purchase a high-ranked Earth Fire Red Lotus.


    There were Fourth Grade specimens within Back to Sky Valley, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have quite that much clout. Unless he threatened Yan Shaoyin at sword-point, it was unlikely that Yan would sell a Sect heritage-level Fourth Grade Medicinal Herb.


    Liu Wenbo finally managed to negotiate the purchase of a barely Third Rank Superior Grade specimen after much persuasion.


    Luo Yixuan had previously deposited a stock of Spirit Stones with Chen Mobai from when she had brought out Longevity Tree Sap from the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Chen Mobai had given those to her.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, after purchasing the Pure Bamboo from the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley on behalf of the Sect, along with this Earth Fire Red Lotus, she was in debt by a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai, her wealthy and generous master, directly compensated for these losses for her and even gifted her the Thousand-year Warm Jade.


    After obtaining all materials, Chen Mobai made a special trip back to the Immortal Gate to engage the best Refining Workshop in Yu Wood City. He borrowed their facilities and even enlisted the help of the only two Rank-3 Artifact Refiners in the city to supervise and provide guidance, managing to refine the ¡°Fire Jade Heart Lotus¡± into a Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo.


    The Grade was perfectly controlled at Second Rank Superior Grade, exactly matching Luo Yixuan¡¯s foundation as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    If she were to achieve Core Formation in the future, she could simultaneously upgrade this Artifact Embryo during her transformation; it would then be as if she had refined it herself, automatically protecting its owner against Attacks of the Mind-Demon Type.

 Chapter 1083 - Chapter 1083 Chapter 592 Fire Jade Heart Lotus All-things

    Chapter 1083: Chapter 592: Fire Jade Heart Lotus, All-things Altruistic Cauldron_2 Chapter 1083: Chapter 592: Fire Jade Heart Lotus, All-things Altruistic Cauldron_2 ¡°`


    After inspecting the lotus-shaped Warm Jade he had removed from Luo Yixuan¡¯s chest and confirming that the Small Void embedded within was clearly separated from the Magic Artifact without any signs of conflict, Chen Mobai completely relaxed.


    ¡°From now on, unless you¡¯re in a crisis situation, do not use the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power hidden within.¡±


    When Chen Mobai returned the Fire Jade Heart Lotus to Luo Yixuan, he cautioned her solemnly again, and she nodded repeatedly, hanging it back around her snow-white neck.


    Zhuo Ming, standing nearby, looked at the Fire Jade Heart Lotus now tucked into Luo Yixuan¡¯s gown with evident envy.


    ¡°In the future, it will be yours, Xuan. She has resolved the issue with the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power and no longer needs the Pure Bamboo. I will cut down the Rank-3 plant later and refine a ¡®Green Bamboo Cane-Sword¡¯ for you!¡±


    Seeing Zhuo Ming¡¯s expression, Chen Mobai thought she was envious of the Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo and immediately chuckled, explaining his plans to her.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s not like that. I¡¯m just envious of Luo Shimei¡¯s excellent talent and comprehension, which allowed her to master the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, seeing that Chen Mobai had misunderstood, quickly clarified.


    Although Chen Mobai had passed on the Returning Essence Secret Technique to both of them at the same time, it seemed that aside from her astonishing perceptiveness regarding the Earth Attribute, Zhuo Ming¡¯s other talents were rather ordinary.


    She had struggled with the secret technique for several years, barely reaching the second layer.


    The final step of utilizing a Void Stone to create a Small Void had proved elusive, despite Luo Yixuan demonstrating it several times in front of her.


    Fortunately, neither Chen Mobai nor Zhuo Ming pressed the matter.


    After all, the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique was of little use to Zhuo Ming.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s protection, she spent her days happily caring for the cherished Immortal Peach Trees and looking after the thousands of acres of Spirit Rice on Giant Tree Ridge¨Cshe had no need nor reason to conceal her cultivation level.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve also taken care of that Pure Bamboo for many years. I don¡¯t go out to fight, and I don¡¯t really need a Magic Artifact. Please, let¡¯s not cut it down,¡± she pleaded with Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming had communicated daily with the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo through All Things Spiritual Communication while transplanting and sowing it, and she had grown attached to it.


    ¡°Although that may be, refining a Lifespan Artifact Embryo during your Foundation Establishment will save you the effort of refining and harmonizing a Lifespan Artifact after Core Formation¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with persuasion. At the Immortal Gate, resources were scarce, so not many practitioners had a Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo during Foundation Establishment.


    However, in the Eastern Wilderness, with conditions like these and him being the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect along with his own mastery in artifact refining, it would be negligent of him not to make sure his disciples were well equipped.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t understand these finer points, but as her mentor, it was his duty to make her aware of the serious implications.


    ¡°So a Lifespan Magic Artifact Embryo is that important, Master? Then, is it possible for me to refine an ¡®All-things Altruistic Cauldron¡¯?¡±


    Having understood the significance, Zhuo Ming inquired about a Magic Artifact that even caught Chen Mobai slightly by surprise.


    ¡°Refining that Artifact would take too long, and you know that until the Eastern Wasteland is unified, it¡¯s not advisable for you to leave Giant Tree Ridge,¡± Chen Mobai explained.


    Luo Yixuan, sitting on the side, was clueless about what the ¡°All-things Altruistic Cauldron¡± was. She sat on a stone stool, resting her chin on her hands, her face full of confusion, but she did not dare to ask.


    The Lifespan Artifact comes from the Longevity Sect¡¯s Earth Immortal Classic.


    The ¡°Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture¡± and the ¡°Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture¡± share the same origin, and even the cultivation methods are very similar.


    The Longevity Scripture requires a Destiny Spirit Plant in order to reach mastery.


    On the other hand, the Benevolence Scripture requires the refinement of a Lifespan Artifact called the ¡°All-things Altruistic Cauldron!¡±


    Without this Artifact, even someone with an Earth Spiritual Body and Heavenly Spiritual Root could not fully master the Earth Immortality Scripture.


    And this so-called ¡°All-things Altruistic Cauldron¡± does not require rare materials. In fact, it¡¯s made of components that are quite ordinary for practitioners.


    It is made from over ten thousand different types of ores!


    Theoretically, these ores must be personally sought and excavated by the practitioner from the earth, after which their essence must be integrated into the cauldron.


    Practitioners of the Earth Immortality Scripture, through the continuous refining of ores in the cauldron, come to understand the mysterious creation nurtured into form by the earth¡¯s Spirit Veins over long periods of time.


    As the variety of ores absorbed by the cauldron increases, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron becomes more perfect, and the practitioner grows stronger. They may even begin to carry the fortune of a child of the earth, blessed with continuous prosperity and shielded from calamity.


    ¡°`


    Once there were ten thousand types, that was when the cauldron would be perfected, and at that time, it could be called ¡°All-things Meritorious Deed Cauldron.¡±


    When Chen Mobai first obtained the Earth Immortal Classic, he even asked Elder Ming if anyone within the Longevity Sect had cultivated the Earth Immortal Scripture to such a realm.


    She answered that there was, and it was none other than the True Monarch of Benevolence, who sat below the Heavenly Sovereign and was also the first sect hierarch of the Longevity Sect!


    It was said that it was during his excavation of some mineral when he unearthed the roots of the Heavenly Sovereign and consequently received the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s enlightenment, leading to the founding of the Longevity Sect.


    It was also with the support of the Heavenly Sovereign and the Longevity Sect¡¯s power that the True Monarch of Benevolence was able to refine the All-things Meritorious Deed Cauldron.


    Afterward, he used the mighty power of this cauldron to imprint the earth¡¯s meridians, carving out the profound rhymes of the vast Dao, and finally crafted the Earth Immortal Radiance, through which he broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    Moreover, when the Heavenly Sovereign was searching for the Yellow Springs, it was largely thanks to this All-things Meritorious Deed Cauldron.


    Having finished reading the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture, Zhuo Ming only felt that this cauldron was incredibly formidable and very suitable for her Spirit Root Attributes, deeply engraining it in her mind.


    Now, after being enlightened by Chen Mobai about the importance of a Lifebound Magic Artefact, she hoped that her Artifact Embryo would be this one.


    However, this cauldron could only be refined by the cultivator¡¯s own hands, melting minerals personally; Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help with that.


    The only piece of good news was that refining this cauldron did not strictly require the refiner to practice the Earth Immortal Scripture.


    One only needed a breath of highly refined and pure Earth Spiritual Power to envision the shape of the cauldron, and then continuously add and melt the essence of the minerals to form it.


    ¡°The disciple can request tasks through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Fortunately, over the years, I¡¯ve also saved up over a hundred thousand sect contributions, along with more than twenty thousand Spirit Stones. There¡¯s no use for them at Giant Tree Ridge, so it¡¯s just right to use them here,¡±


    Zhuo Ming had clearly thought about the All-things Altruistic Cauldron for a long time and had even figured out how to approach it.


    Her words made Luo Yixuan widen her eyes in shock, wondering why her shimei was so wealthy.


    But all these were hard-earned by Zhuo Ming herself. For instance, when transplanting the Immortal Peach Tree, Chen Mobai straightforwardly credited her with twenty thousand contributions.


    Each year, Zhuo Ming took care of the Spirit Plants and Spirit Rice at Xiao Nanshan, and Chen Mobai would also privately transfer ten thousand contributions to her account.


    Originally, he also wanted to give her Spirit Stones, but Zhuo Ming insisted that her cultivation food, such as Spiritual Rice, Spiritual Wine, Spirit Chicken, and Spirit Fish, all came from Xiao Nanshan, so she couldn¡¯t accept any further.


    After Chen Mobai offered twice and Zhuo Ming firmly declined, he let her be.


    Plus, when the Spirit Plant Department encountered any difficult problems with their herb fields, they would often ask Zhuo Ming to come down from the mountain and help. For these services, the disciples who took care of the herbs would pay her directly in Spirit Stones.


    Moreover, as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, Zhuo Ming was able to collect over a thousand Spirit Stones from the sect every year.


    After saving for sixteen years, she had accumulated these contributions and Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Since you have already decided, as your mentor, I naturally support you.¡±


    Although it was stated within the Earth Immortal Scripture that a cauldron refined personally by a cultivator using the skills of an Earth Master to find veins and extract minerals would be more precise and fitting, given the current circumstances, he dared not let Zhuo Ming wander the Eastern Wasteland alone; they could only do it this way.


    Besides, on the lands of the Eastern Wasteland, there definitely weren¡¯t ten thousand distinct types of minerals.


    Elder Ming said that the True Monarch of Benevolence of the Longevity Sect nearly trod every corner of the Tianhe Realm before he barely managed to find over ten thousand different types of minerals.


    As an inspirational tale, this story was frequently used to educate newcomers to the sect, which was why Elder Ming remembered it so clearly.


    After Chen Mobai nodded, Zhuo Ming, who had looked a bit tense at first, instantly beamed with joy.

    ¡°Eat the Immortal Peach now; your mentor will protect you.¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t forgotten the matter at hand and pointed to the two ripe Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits inside the basket at Zhuo Ming¡¯s waist.


    While Zhuo Ming sat down cross-legged to consume them and Luo Yixuan went down the mountain to prepare tonight¡¯s meal of Spiritual Rice and Meat, Chen Mobai took out his phone and used the Turtle Treasure to check some information on the Immortal Gate.


    All corners of Di Yuan Star had been developed by the Immortal Gate, and finding out how many types of minerals there were was straightforward¨Cthe answer appeared easily.


    4,236 types!

 Chapter 1084 - Chapter 1084 Chapter 593 The Three Great Immortal Scriptures

    Chapter 1084: Chapter 593: The Three Great Immortal Scriptures (2400 Monthly Tickets Additional Release) Chapter 1084: Chapter 593: The Three Great Immortal Scriptures (2400 Monthly Tickets Additional Release) Streams of pure spiritual energy surged from the earth and were refined and integrated into Zhuo Ming¡¯s body willingly.


    At this moment, the concentration of spiritual energy beneath the Immortal Peach Tree almost reached Rank-4.


    Chen Mobai, who had put away his mobile phone, nodded at this observation.


    Zhuo Ming had indeed successfully achieved a breakthrough with the assistance of the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    In the territory of Xiao Nanshan, her progress as his disciple was almost invincible. Right after the breakthrough, the spiritual energy from the earth¡¯s veins rushed to her aid impatiently, helping her to consolidate.


    At this time, Luo Yixuan flew up the mountain with a basket full of fresh ingredients.


    Chen Mobai had guarded Zhuo Ming under the Immortal Peach Tree for seven days and nights, and only when the dense spiritual energy gradually dissipated did it signify that Zhuo Ming had finished her cultivation.


    ¡°Many thanks to Master for your protection.¡±


    Upon opening her eyes and seeing Chen Mobai sitting beside her with concern, Zhuo Ming immediately got up and bowed to him.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. To reach the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage at sixteen, although a bit slow, your foundation is stable.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, standing nearby, was astounded by Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Throughout the history of the Divine Wood Sect, Zhuo Ming¡¯s pace of breakthrough, although not as fast as Hong He¡¯s, was still considered rapid.


    However, when she thought about the cultivation speed of the Master beside her, Luo Yixuan felt it was indeed so.


    ¡°Master, in addition to the Mother Earth Cultivation, my Ninefold Law Body has also advanced to the third layer.¡±


    Zhuo Ming shared more good news, which made her breakthrough last longer. Chen Mobai was also very pleased with this.


    ¡°Eat this second Immortal Peach as well, even though it only has half the effect of the first one, it can still enhance your potential.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that the Immortal Peach Fruit not only increased spiritual power but also added to the Spiritual Root Value of wood, water, and earth by one point for each fruit consumed.


    The limit was an increase of 4 points for each attribute, and consuming more would be ineffective for him now.


    The matter of Spiritual Root Value was too advanced for the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm. Thus, Chen Mobai simplified it by referring to it as ¡°potential,¡± which was easier to comprehend.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I suggest allowing Luo Shimei to consume it.¡±


    Upon hearing that the effect of the second peach would be halved, Zhuo Ming repeatedly declined, indicating that since she had already achieved her realm breakthrough, she did not want to waste such a heavenly and earthly treasure.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er has been restricted by the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power for fourteen years, weakening her heart and mind, and causing her divine sense to regress. Consuming another Immortal Peach Fruit to enhance spiritual power would be more harmful than beneficial.¡±


    After listening to Zhuo Ming¡¯s suggestion, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Now that Luo Yixuan had escaped the influence of the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, her spiritual power should not advance too quickly due to her divine sense or it might exceed her control again.


    In her case, Chen Mobai even considered solving the issue with the Devour God Technique, but eventually gave up the idea.


    He hoped his disciples would remain stable; the Devour God Technique was too dangerous.


    ¡°Sister, you should consume it. Besides, there are so many fruits on this tree; I can eat them later.¡±


    Luo Yixuan heard this and immediately showed her agreeableness.


    ¡°Then I will accept it without any more objections.¡±


    After thanking him, Zhuo Ming picked up the other Immortal Peach Fruit from the basket, turned around, and took a bite.


    A faint peach fragrance, accompanying the breakup of the fruit flesh, wafted around the stone table while Luo Yixuan began to cast a spell, condensing dew to brew tea.


    After three days of meditation, Zhuo Ming digested the second Immortal Peach Fruit. When she opened her eyes, her pupils shimmered with a crystalline moisture, and she looked radiant and refreshed.


    ¡°Send a stream of spiritual power over.¡±


    Chen Mobai conducted another check on Zhuo Ming¡¯s Spirit Root Attributes and, seeing the values on the palm-sized Spirit-Testing Instruments, suddenly realized he had overlooked something.


    [Gold 3, Wood 22, Water 23, Fire 9, Earth 55].


    When Zhuo Ming was building her foundation, she had refined a Life Stone.


    At that time, she gained 3 points in Earth Spirit Root. Later, Chen Mobai collected quite a few more from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, some for upgrading the Rank-3 Spirit Field of Xiao Nanshan and some for Zhuo Ming to try refining.


    It was discovered that the second Life Stone refined could only increase the Earth Spirit Root value by 2 points and the third by just 1 point. After refining three stones, there was no further effect on increasing the Spirit Root Value.


    That is to say, the Life Stone could provide a maximum of 6 points in Earth Spirit Root.


    Yet, Chen Mobai had not used this method to increase his own Earth Spirit Root because his cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll made him less interested in the Earth Spirit Root.


    Thinking about it now, it seemed to be an unexpectedly correct decision.


    If he now refined the Life Stone, the change induced in his spirit root would allow him to enter the legacy space in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and take out the remaining Five Elements Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect.


    No sooner had he thought of this than Chen Mobai laughed heartily, taking his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and leaving Xiao Nanshan.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan walked out from under the Immortal Peach Tree and watched him rise into the sky and disappear into the horizon.


    Life Stones were also considered a precious mineral, only available for mining in Yan State, Xiao State, and Wind State. Therefore, there were no reserves in the Reward Virtue Hall.


    However, as soon as Chen Mobai made the request, those below would certainly get things done in the shortest time possible.


    Seven days later, Yu Lian emerged from the teleportation array in Giant Tree Ridge, looking windbeaten as she arrived at Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo, offering five Life Stones.


    Although Chen Mobai only asked for three, when leaders made requests, those eager to impress often aimed to exceed expectations.


    ¡°`


    ¡°You all have worked hard on this matter as well,¡± said Chen Mobai with a smile, ¡°Tell E Yun that I will personally come to Rock Country at the end of the year for the graduation ceremony of the Longevity Academy.¡±


    Fish Lian nodded respectfully and then once again boarded the Teleportation Array, leaving Giant Tree Ridge to return to Rock Country.


    It was only half a day later that a beautiful girl with an elegant demeanor arrived from Sky Country, offering a bag of Life Stones.


    The girl was Zhou Bingyan, the most talented cultivator of the Zhou family after Zhou Wangshen, who followed Chen Mobai back to the sect from Sky Country six years ago, and succeeded in reaching Foundation Establishment on her first attempt with his guidance.


    After her Foundation Establishment, she naturally went back to Sky Country to help Zhou Wangshen.


    Although Luo Xue¡¯er was instructed by Chen Mobai to pass the message about needing Life Stones to E Yun so he could help collect them in Rock Country, somehow Zhou Wangshen also heard the news.


    She managed to collect enough Life Stones in just half a day. Since it was not easy for the Town Guard to leave their post, Zhou Wangshen sent the familiar face of Zhou Bingyan instead.


    ¡°Niece Zhou has been thoughtful,¡± Chen Mobai said, though inwardly he sighed. Still, he had to praise her, or else his subordinates wouldn¡¯t have any motivation to work.


    ¡°Sect Leader, it¡¯s our duty,¡± Zhou Bingyan replied, always cool and aloof on the outside but deeply respectful and well-mannered in front of Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai allowed her to rest in the sect for a few days, and called Zhuo Ming to entertain her, also giving his disciple a chance to make more friends.


    Afterward, he began refining the Life Stones.


    As a Golden Core Cultivator, it only took Chen Mobai one day to see the changes in his Earth Spirit Root.


    He didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately used Turtle Treasure to teleport into the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He touched the Talent Tree, and sure enough, it recognized him and pulled him into the inheritance space as it had done before.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai chose the fire Immortal Scripture.


    The next day, he chose the Water Immortal Scripture.


    On the third day, the Gold Immortal Scripture!


    [Gold 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 84, Earth 20]


    Looking at his Spiritual Root Value on the Spirit-Testing Instruments, Chen Mobai nodded; the limit of the Life Stones was indeed a 6-point increase to the Earth Spirit Root.


    It wasn¡¯t much, but it allowed Chen Mobai to obtain the remaining three Divinity Transformation Techniques inside the inheritance space.


    The value of the three Life Stones he had refined, therefore, skyrocketed to unprecedented heights.


    After checking his Spiritual Roots, Chen Mobai picked up the three Immortal Scriptures and looked through them one by one.


    Among them, the fire Immortal Scripture was named ¡°Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture,¡± the Gold Immortal Scripture was called ¡°White Emperor Military Formation Scripture,¡± and as for the Water Immortal Scripture, Elder Ming had already told him about it ¨C it was the ¡°Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.¡±


    With this, all five of the supreme inheritances of Immortal Scriptures from the Longevity Sect had fallen into the hands of Chen Mobai.


    Each of the five Divinity Transformation Techniques had their own merits, and even for someone on the path of the Pure Yang Scroll like him, they held great referential value.


    Unfortunately, his own realm was still too low, and he could only understand parts of these Immortal Scriptures that were below the Nascent Soul level.


    However, a method of condensing the Great Sun Fire mentioned in the fire Immortal Scripture was regarded by him as a treasure beyond measure.


    He knew that to master the Extreme Sun Slash, he needed not only the nine Golden Flames but also the Great Sun Fire. When the two combined, they could cut through anything with terrifying power.


    The essence of the sun and moon and the light of the universe were both blocked by the Heavenly Curtain at the Immortal Gate, and even as a member of the Kaiyuan Hall with cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, whatever Solar Essence slipped through the curtain wasn¡¯t enough for condensing Great Sun Fire if he wanted to also gather Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Thinking of the future where he might exchange high-level Spiritual Objects at the Immortal Gate that could help with breaking through barriers, Chen Mobai would definitely choose the more valuable Purple Qi.


    However, his Pure Yang Purple Qi was essentially condensed in the Tianhe Realm.


    The vast and boundless Solar Essence here, even if he and his Formless Puppet condensed it together, was but a drop in the ocean.


    He only regretted that his Cultivation Realm was not high enough, which limited how much he could condense each time.


    The method to condense Great Sun Fire in the Chidi Puzhao Jing, however, was completely different from that at the Immortal Gate.


    It required the cultivator of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to complete it.


    The so-called Universal Illumination was the sun¡¯s rays falling on the earth, purifying all darkness and cold, providing all living beings with the energy and vitality for vigorous growth.


    The cultivation of the Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture also required a Lifespan Artifact called the ¡°Haotian Mirror.¡±


    This Mirror could gather the Solar Essence from the nearby heavens, automatically condensing it into the Great Sun Fire.


    The Great Sun Fire burned on the mirror¡¯s surface, and after being enhanced by the Haotian Mirror, it could evolve into a powerful and intense Universal Illumination Divine Light.


    If a cultivator of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture possessed such Divine Light to aid their Destiny Spirit Plant, the speed of its advancement and growth would double.

    And through photosynthesis, the Destiny Spirit Plant would also soften the explosive and restless energy, allowing the Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture cultivator to more easily refine the Solar Essence and even the Great Sun Fire gathered by the Haotian Mirror.


    Without this process, the cultivator of the fire Immortal Scripture would need to spend many times the effort to complete these refinements.


    For Chen Mobai, this was more than suitable.


    He preferred these automatic, simplified methods that didn¡¯t require too much insight!

 Chapter 1085 - Chapter 1085 Chapter 594 The First Void Blind Box (3200

    Chapter 1085: Chapter 594: The First Void Blind Box (3200 monthly votes plus update) Chapter 1085: Chapter 594: The First Void Blind Box (3200 monthly votes plus update) ¡°`


    The cultivation requirements for ¡°Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture¡± were the same as those for the ¡°Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture¡±, needing a corresponding spiritual body.


    Chen Mobai perfectly matched the criteria, and even possessed an exceptional Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root. In the golden age of the Longevity Sect, he would have been a true candidate for the Saint Heir.


    The key lay in the ¡°Haotian Mirror¡±.


    This Lifespan Artifact, according to the Longevity Sect¡¯s refining methods, at its highest standard, should be framed with wood from the body of a Heavenly Sovereign and use a type of Green Bronze that has been soaked in the Azure Dragon¡¯s Blood to forge the mirror body.


    However, only God-Transcending cultivators like the true enlightened masters of the Longevity Sect at its peak deserved such treatment.


    When disciples within the sect initially cultivated Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture, they naturally couldn¡¯t get their hands on these heavenly and earthly treasures right away.


    Thus, there were continuously downgraded versions of the Haotian Mirror.


    Corresponding to cultivators of various realms.


    For example, a Rank-3 Golden Core Cultivator could use Golden Sun Spirit Wood for the frame and Red Spirit Copper for the mirror body.


    Although the power to gather Solar Essence and the might of the Great Sun Fire would continually decrease, Chen Mobai was thrilled because he realized that he might be able to transform his Six-Yang Divine Flame Mirror into the Haotian Mirror.


    It wasn¡¯t so much a transformation but adding the functions of the Haotian Mirror to his own Lifespan Artifact.


    In this way, he could not only enjoy the functions of the Haotian Mirror but also have the opportunity to upgrade the configuration of the Six-Yang Divine Flame Mirror, which was gradually becoming inadequate for him.


    However, the knowledge of Artifact Refining involved was extremely complex. At least a Fourth Order Refiner or higher would have the ability to do so.


    As it so happened, Chen Mobai had just taken on such a master as a teacher.


    The question was how to account for the content in Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture regarding the Haotian Mirror in a plausible way and explain it to Hong Mengkui?


    After pondering for a while, Chen Mobai slapped his forehead.


    He remembered that the Good Deed Points in his Immortal Gate account had just surpassed a hundred million, enough to purchase a Void Blind Box.


    After returning to Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai made a call to Wen Ren Xuewei to consult her on the matter.


    ¡°It mainly depends on your luck. Although those boxes are expensive, there are plenty of wealthy Golden Core Masters with time to spare who like to open them. About once a month, the Immortal Gate Network will list one or two Void Blind Boxes. It¡¯s about whether you¡¯re patient enough to wait for one.¡±


    Chen Mobai found it strange after listening. As a Rank-3 user, couldn¡¯t he select an item released officially by the Immortal Gate every month and purchase it in advance?


    ¡°You haven¡¯t used your privilege this month?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei expressed surprise upon hearing this.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t used it all year!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The response from Chen Mobai left Wen Ren Xuewei on the video call wide-eyed and incredulous!


    ¡°You mean to say you haven¡¯t snatched up any of the many treasures released each month on the Immortal Gate Network?!¡±


    ¡°Treasures? You mean the Rank-4 Spirit Rice that¡¯s released in batches, the five pieces of Rank-3 composite Purple Gold, two elixirs that help break through the minor realms of the Golden Core, and meat from an old, dead Rank-3 Green Cow¡­ these things? I¡¯m only interested in the Rank-4 Five-Colored Spirit Rice. I used my privileges to reserve ten pounds of it when it was listed two years ago. I wanted to buy all of it, but a Nascent Soul Superior snagged ninety pounds, and after that, they stopped listing it, so I haven¡¯t used my privileges since.¡±


    The bewildered words from Chen Mobai left Wen Ren Xuewei taking a deep breath before asking, her voice trembling slightly.


    ¡°In your eyes, there are only those at Rank-3 and Rank-4? Many materials at Rank-2 are also very precious. If used well, they can perform no worse than those at Rank-3.¡±


    Due to resource scarcity on the Immortal Gate side, many Golden Core Masters who wanted to buy their desired items would mostly choose Rank-2.


    For instance, Wen Ren Xuewei loved drinking tea and styled herself as the top tea drinker of the Immortal Gate. However, the only tea-related tools that were Rank-3 were her water-boiling kettle and the cup she always used for drinking tea.


    All her other tea utensils ¨C tea caddy, tea needle, tea tongs, tea spatula, tea scoop, tea strainer, etc., were all just Rank-2.


    Even those were upgraded to Rank-2 only after she became a Golden Core Cultivator using her monthly privilege to reserve and preemptively purchase them.


    Previously, when she was at the Foundation Establishment stage, most were only Rank-1.


    And that is why many Golden Core Masters like to linger on the Immortal Gate Network when they have nothing to do, hoping to snatch up Rank-2 items released officially every now and then.


    For those particularly coveted items, they would use their privileges to reserve them. For the less coveted items that other Golden Core Masters hadn¡¯t reserved, they would try their luck in the rush to purchase.


    Chen Mobai was genuinely unaware of this. After he assumed the position of Sect Leader and became a Golden Core Cultivator, Wang Tingbo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, heard that he enjoyed drinking wine and tea. He specially selected various precious clays to craft him two sets of Rank-3 cups for wine and tea.


    Chen Mobai kept one set in his Longevity Wood Dojo and the other in his Storage Bag.


    However, he once forgot to take the latter set with him after drinking tea in Xiao Nanshan, so he simply left them there for his two disciples to enjoy.


    He was even considering asking Wang Tingbo to craft two more sets, one to use when receiving guests at Shenmu Hall and another to keep as a spare in his Storage Bag.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Aside from teacups and wine cups, his Longevity Wood Dojo¡¯s wooden hut also featured a complete set of furniture made from Golden Sun Spirit Wood, including tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and more.


    All of which were custom-made for him by Wang Tingbo leading the Artifact Refining Department as a basic privilege of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.


    But Chen Mobai had only slept on the Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Wood bed once; it was somewhat hard and not very comfortable.


    Afterward, he basically replaced resting with meditation.


    His meditation mat for cultivation wasn¡¯t ordinary either; it was crafted from the finest and most upright Rank-3 bulrushes harvested by the Spirit Plant Department, air-dried using a secret technique, and then soaked in nine different medicinal waters before being sun-dried to completion.


    Sitting upright on a mat woven from such bulrushes, a cultivator would find themselves involuntarily relaxed by the faint medicinal fragrance, calming their heart and mind, and finding their form eased, greatly benefiting their cultivation.


    Chen Mobai was most satisfied with this mat, handmade and with a natural medicinal scent, after using it once, he had the Spirit Plant Department make five more just like it.


    One for each Domain, one as a backup in his storage bag, one for Xiao Nanshan, and one for Shenmu Hall.


    He even gifted one to Luo Yixuan because she had been restrained by the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power before, which left her Divine Sense somewhat exhausted, and using this mat could nourish her heart and mind.


    This turned out to be his most satisfying piece among the Divine Wood Sect Old Ancestor¡¯s suite.


    And it wasn¡¯t expensive to make, costing only ten thousand Spirit Stones each, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t let the sect bear the loss; he paid for the subsequent five out of his pocket.


    It was precisely for this reason that Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t relate to Wen Ren Xuewei, a Lasting Spring Cultivation practitioner and future Nascent Soul Superior, who would nevertheless snatch up these Rank-2 trinkets every day on the Immortal Gate Network.


    In Divine Wood Sect where he was provided with various matching items for clothing, food, housing, and travel, anything made of materials below Rank-3 was an insult to the pinnacle of the Eastern Wilderness and to a sect elder!


    ¡°I¡¯m not one for enjoying luxuries, feeling they erode my fierce and diligent Sword Dao intent, so apart from Spirit Rice and other basic necessities, I ignore everything else.¡±


    But soon Chen Mobai realized his slip; this was the Immortal Gate, not the Eastern Wilderness, nor his Divine Wood Sect, so he came up with an excuse that fit his persona.


    ¡°Brother Chen with such talent, yet still content with simplicity, no wonder he surpasses us all¡­¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei actually took Chen Mobai¡¯s words to heart, saying so with a look of admiration.


    ¡°Oh, not at all, I¡¯m just a bit plain in my ways,¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his lavish lifestyle at Divine Wood Sect and gave a forced laugh in response, promptly finding an excuse to hang up the call.


    He couldn¡¯t continue the conversation, or he¡¯d risk giving himself away.


    Right after, he immediately used his Rank-3 user privileges to check what items would be listed on the Immortal Gate for the next month, accurately locating the Void Blind Box and placing a pre-order.


    Before long, an official from the Immortal Gate called, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner with a very respectful tone.


    Clearly, they had seen Chen Mobai¡¯s identity verification from the backend.


    Once confirmed without issues and after paying Good Deed Points, the Void Blind Box was his.


    However, delivery would have to wait a month, as the item wasn¡¯t yet on the market.


    To this, Chen Mobai wasted no time.


    He began to drink his stored Enlightenment White Tea, using his state of Enlightenment to ponder how he could extract content about the Haotian Mirror from the ¡°Red Emperor¡¯s Bestow Scripture¡± and transform it into the linguistic habits and artifact refining terminology of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai first contemplated on his own, and when stumped, he would take the Enlightenment Tea to deduce a portion, then use the tea again to ensure no glaring flaws were revealed.


    Finally, after a month, having drunk more than half of his Enlightenment White Tea, he came up with an ancient blueprint that appeared to be pulled straight from the Void Blind Box.


    And that Void Blind Box he had snatched spending a billion Good Deed Points contained only two large jars of Spiritual Wine of unknown age when opened.


    Without an expert¡¯s evaluation, Chen Mobai dared not drink it, but judging from his years of experience with Zhuo Ming¡¯s brewed Spiritual Wine, he felt the two large jars couldn¡¯t exceed Rank-3.


    A total loss!


    But with this experience, he now had an excuse for introducing items from the Tianhe Realm in the future, simply claiming they came from the Void Blind Box.


    Perhaps soon, the Immortal Gate will be abuzz with tales of Chen Mobai¡¯s incredible luck, opening many top-grade materials.


    But he couldn¡¯t overdo it; once he saved another billion, he¡¯d open a second Void Blind Box and then wistfully lament in his social circle about a total loss.

    To highlight a mix of gains and losses, a ¡°real¡± unboxing.


    The next day, Chen Mobai transformed the ancient plans he had tidied up regarding the Haotian Mirror into a digital version and sent it to Hong Mengkui.


    ¡°Huh, you¡¯ve got some good ideas, kid. Incorporating the functions of this ancient treasure into your Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror is indeed feasible, but due to material constraints, it might end up downgrading the grade of your Lifespan Artifact,¡±


    Hong Mengkui, as a Fourth Order Refiner and former head of the Refining Implement Department at Dance Tool Dao Academy, was a master in this field, second only to Master Chengxuan.


    After reviewing Chen Mobai¡¯s blueprints and drafts, he was instantly intrigued, and the two of them, separated by the network, began deducing from scratch how to break down the ¡°ancient treasure¡± functions and incorporate them one by one into the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.

 Chapter 1086 - Chapter 1086 Chapter 595 Haotian Mirror

    Chapter 1086: Chapter 595: Haotian Mirror Chapter 1086: Chapter 595: Haotian Mirror ¡°That¡¯s about it.¡±


    Half a month later, Hong Mengkui, looking extremely satisfied, saved the perfected blueprints of the Haotian Mirror and Chen Mobai immediately thanked him through the video call.


    Without the help of Hong Mengkui, a Rank-4 Artifact Refining Master, just relying on himself, Chen Mobai guessed it would have taken a great deal of Enlightenment White Tea and several years of slow work to complete these tasks.


    ¡°However, there¡¯s still that problem. Here in the Immortal Gate, cutting down a Rank-3 or higher Spirit Wood requires stamps of approval from multiple departments, including the Forestry Administration of Wangwu Cave Heaven, and even with your background and status, it will be troublesome. And if you use ordinary Rank-3 Spirit Wood for the frame, it might actually lower the grade of your Lifespan Artifact, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    As Hong Mengkui sent the complete electronic blueprint to Chen Mobai, he also mentioned the difficulties in refining the improved version of the Haotian Mirror.


    It was still a matter of insufficient resources.


    Even though he had access to the Rank-4 Biyu Wutong, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had a Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree, and the Jumang Academy even owned a Rank-6 Big Tree¨Call rare treasures not found in the Eastern Wilderness¨Cthey were all protected resources. Even if Chen Mobai needed just a little bit of Spirit Wood to make the frame, the paperwork for approval was quite troublesome.


    Even for the Rank-4 Blue Elm in Yu Wood City under his rule, he had the authority to apply for trimming branches, but as a cultural relic and historic site, he would also need to submit an application to the Cultural Relics Protection Administration beyond just the Forestry Administration.


    For the resources of Rank-3 Spirit Wood, the restrictions were slightly less, and such Spirit Materials would occasionally be listed on the Immortal Gate Network.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was already a nearly Third Rank Superior Grade Magic Artifact. Using a frame made of the same quality would maintain the status quo, but if the wood was only of intermediate grade or lower, it would lead to the concern Hong Mengkui mentioned, directly lowering the grade of the Haotian Mirror.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Mulberry Leaf Tree of Third Rank Superior Grade in the Qing Sang Academy, and there are also four more of the same grade Spirit Wood in Yu Wood City. I¡¯ll think of a way to see if I can work something out.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already come up with an excuse; Yu Wood City under his control might not have other resources, but it was rich in wood resources. If he could get through the relations on the Wangwu Cave Heaven side, getting a few frames¡¯ worth of Spirit Wood material would not be a problem.


    ¡°I had forgotten you were in that place.¡±


    After hearing this, Hong Mengkui smiled leisurely, no longer concerned.


    ¡°I really have to thank you for your help this time, Master Hong. If not for my responsibilities that prevent me from leaving, I would truly like to bring over a couple jars of fine wine to express my gratitude in person.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely expressed his thanks to the old man on the other side of the video. They had been working together nonstop for half a month, and upon hearing this, Hong Mengkui just waved his hand.


    ¡°After all, you are also my student. It¡¯s only right for me to help you. But you really are a person of great fortune, to be able to obtain such an ancient treasure blueprint from a blind box. It was probably developed during a past war of expansion by people from the Immortal Gate to condense the Big Sun True Fire Thunder in the Different World. But now, with the Heavenly Curtain enshrouding the entire Di Yuan Star, even if you upgrade your Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to the Haotian Mirror, at most it will help you condense the Solar Essence more quickly. The Pure Yang Purple Qi is not of much use to a definite genius like you, who is bound to break through.¡±


    Hong Mengkui said somewhat sentimentally, viewing the Haotian Mirror¡¯s ability to gather the Great Sun Fire as somewhat superfluous¨Cduring the peaceful prosperous times of the Immortal Gate, there was no need to waste time on Divine Skills for Magic Duels.


    As for the other aspect, condensing the Solar Essence, it could greatly increase the speed of condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi for a disciple of the Pure Yang Scroll like Chen Mobai.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s persona in the Immortal Gate was one with the Qualification of Deification, and breaking through realms for him was as simple as eating or drinking, with no need for external things to assist him.


    That¡¯s why Hong Mengkui would say so.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t need these things, there are many Gold Core colleagues in the Immortal Gate stuck at bottlenecks, and I can exchange condensed Pure Yang Purple Qi with them for what I need.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this on the surface, but in his heart, he thought the more Pure Yang Purple Qi, the better.


    The reason he faced no obstacles in advancing to the second layer of the Gold Core was because he had used Pure Yang Purple Qi condensed by the Formless Puppet for a long time.


    Even though it was not quite up to one streak, combined with his Fire Spirit Body and Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, breaking through small realm bottlenecks was as simple as piercing through a thin layer of paper.


    Once the Haotian Mirror was refined, with this Lifespan Artifact in conjunction with the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai felt he would not lack Pure Yang Purple Qi in the future.


    After ending the video call with Hong Mengkui, who had not slept for half a month and was yawning, Chen Mobai did not rest.


    As a young man, he only felt full of energy.


    First, he went out to the Immortal Gate official office building in Yu Wood City, where the City Lord, Wen Ping, saw him coming and looked extremely surprised, her eyes also a bit fearful.

    After all, Chen Mobai, the top leader of Yu Wood City, had never come over without an announcement before.


    Wen Ping thought she had made some mistake recently and with some trepidation, stood up to welcome Chen Mobai in.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I want some Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Wood, as long as it¡¯s within the permitted rules¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally saw Wen Ping¡¯s expression, did not delay her time, and explained his purpose with a smile.


    His Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had a clean origin and could be used openly on the Immortal Gate side. Naturally, the materials for its future upgrade to the Haotian Mirror also had to be officially sourced and able to withstand scrutiny.

 Chapter 1087 - Chapter 1087 Chapter 595 Haotian Mirror_2

    Chapter 1087: Chapter 595: Haotian Mirror_2 Chapter 1087: Chapter 595: Haotian Mirror_2 After all, in the foreseeable future, this magic artifact would become a significant symbol for him, attracting the attention of thousands.


    ¡°Councillor Chen, please wait a moment, I¡¯ll make the arrangements!¡±


    Wen Ping let out a sigh of relief upon hearing what the matter was about.


    Although at the Immortal Gate, the materials for Rank-3 Spirit Wood had to be applied for harvesting and trade through Wangwu Cave Heaven, there were definitely some stocks that were legitimately acquired according to the rules at Yu Wood City.


    Chen Mobai sat in his office drinking tea while Wen Ping went out to make a phone call. Soon after, he returned with three relevant people, and together they discussed how to proceed.


    Three days later, Yu Wood City presented a report of financial deficit to Chen Mobai, the highest leader. It stated that many departments had been arrears for quite some time, and the local finances were now on the brink of collapse, hoping that Councillor Chen would agree to their sale of some stock items in exchange for Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to agree on the spot, but Wen Ping suggested he wait seven days before stamping approval to avoid any obvious traces of manipulation.


    Chen Mobai, who always believed he had a talent for governance, only now appreciated the gap between village and county officials.


    The knowledge he had learned from his grandfather paled in comparison to that of Wen Ping, a county official.


    He immediately sought to learn humbly. Seeing the Golden Core Master show such courtesy, Wen Ping was both flattered and apprehensive, yet he answered every question.


    Seven days later, Wen Ping submitted the document signed and stamped by Chen Mobai to the higher authorities of the Immortal Gate.


    Soon after, someone was sent from Wangwu Cave Heaven to Yu Wood City.


    After conducting an investigation and confirming the financial difficulties, they permitted Yu Wood City to use the official Immortal Gate Network to sell their precious Spirit Wood resources.


    The most valuable among them was a section of Rank-3 Spirit Ulmus Wood.


    At this time, Chen Mobai¡¯s one-month cooldown for Rank-3 user privileges had just expired, and he immediately reserved this piece of Rank-3 Spirit Ulmus Wood.


    The price wasn¡¯t expensive either, just a mere six million Good Deed Points.


    But the series of operations and processes before this piece of Spirit Ulmus Wood reached Chen Mobai¡¯s hands were so troublesome and complex that even this Golden Core Master felt the hassle.


    If Wen Ping, the City Lord, had been a local of Yu Wood City, adept at commanding every department, even if Chen Mobai intervened personally, he would likely have been stuck in some part of the process.


    Of course, he had made some arrangements beforehand; among the investigation team that came from Wangwu Cave Heaven, there was an alumnus from Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai invited him for a meal, and under the condition of complying with the rules, they gave him the green light.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed more carefree back in the Eastern Wilderness!¡±


    Returning to Giant Tree Ridge with his newly modified Haotian Mirror, Chen Mobai, breathing the unbounded and rich Spiritual Energy that filled the air, couldn¡¯t help but voice his heartfelt sentiment!


    ¡­


    ¡°Foster Father, is it like this? Should I change the position?¡±


    At Qingdai Mountain, Yin Qingmei was communicating with her Destiny Spirit Plant, continually directing the Biyu Wutong to adjust its branches and leaves.


    ¡°Yes, just like that, the sunlight is just right from this side.¡±


    In mid-air, Chen Mobai maneuvered his modified version of the Haotian Mirror, fine-tuning the angle to ensure it was directly facing the sun that had just emerged on the horizon.


    Soon, the Solar Essence that pervaded the Nine Heavens and covered the Earth began to be drawn in, heading ceaselessly towards the mirror in front of him.


    This Haotian Mirror had the original Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror as the mirror body for Chen Mobai, and as for the frame, it was not made of Spirit Ulmus Wood but Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Sun Spirit Wood.


    When Chen Mobai first sought advice from Hong Mengkui, he proposed the idea of being able to change the mirror frame at will. Hong Mengkui, thinking that with Chen Mobai¡¯s Qualification of Deification it was certain he would achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± and that obtaining a section of Rank-4 Spirit Wood would be no major issue in the future, agreed and incorporated the design.


    After printing all the blueprints for modifying the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror into the Haotian Mirror, Chen Mobai drank all his remaining Enlightenment White Tea in the highest-level Refining Workshop in Yu Wood City.


    The result was the Haotian Mirror in his hand now, capable of accommodating two types of mirror frames!


    Chen Mobai returned and immediately made his way to Qingdai Mountain to try the co-cultivation method of the Earth and Wood Immortal Scriptures with Yin Qingmei.


    After a comparison, he found that although the spirit elm mirror frame could also function, its efficiency in gathering Solar Essence and condensing the Great Sun Fire was only 60% of that of the Golden Sun Spirit Wood.


    Chen Mobai was psychologically prepared for this.


    After all, the Haotian Mirror of Rank-3 on the Chidi Puzhao Jing originally used Golden Sun Spirit Wood as its material. This material configuration had been used by Longevity Sect for thousands of years and was bound to be more perfected and reasonable than something Hong Mengkui designed on his own in half a month.


    ¡°Foster father, I feel like I am full and it¡¯s too hot. I have reached my limit,¡±


    While Chen Mobai was deep in thought, the voice of Yin Qingmei calling from below at Qingdai Mountain reached his ears.


    As she communed with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, it drew in the rich Solar Essence around them, basking in the light reflected by the Haotian Mirror, she felt an unprecedented progress in her cultivation of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, as if her spiritual power had been cleansed and purified.


    However, she was just a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, and after cultivating with Chen Mobai, a Nascent Soul Ancestor in Earth and Wood, she felt a burning sensation throughout her body and her vital essence boiled after only half an hour.


    Her communed Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree was only Rank-1 and could hardly withstand the power; it soon conveyed to her a feeling of fullness and an inability to draw any more energy, along with a sense of distension and pain.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately adjusted the direction of the Haotian Mirror to end the session of co-cultivation.


    But then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on a cloud in the Void and began to execute the technique from the Chidi Puzhao Jing that condensed the Great Sun Fire, concentrating all the light of the Haotian Mirror into a single point.


    Pure Yang Spiritual Power surged in, beginning to mimic the characteristics of Universal Light Spiritual Power, gradually enhancing the power of his Lifespan Artifact.


    With Yin Qingmei and Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree no longer involved, Chen Mobai soon ignited a dazzling and brilliant white spark at the center of the mirror. This was the Great Sun Fire!


    Seeing this spectacle made Chen Mobai reveal a smile of happiness.


    As long as there was a spark, he could use the Ignition Technique from the Pure Yang Scroll to create an unending supply of it.


    Taking out a Spirit Sealing Tube he had prepared in advance, Chen Mobai meticulously collected the spark of Great Sun Fire within it, and subsequently affixed a Spirit Coagulation Talisman.


    In the process of condensing the Great Sun Fire, Chen Mobai compared its speed to that of the Ignition Technique and found that, although not slower, it required the use of the Haotian Mirror. Given that he possessed the Ignition Technique, he realized the Haotian Mirror could be freed up to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi while gathering Solar Essence.


    The main reason for consulting Hong Mengkui¡¯s design was precisely for this function. When Zhongli Tianyu introduced him to the Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s Pure Yang Mirror, which possessed this ability, he felt immense envy. Now, even though his mirror had not been upgraded to Rank-4, it could also achieve this effect.


    The only caveat was that the Haotian Mirror required the guidance of a cultivator of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture when not actively controlled by himself.


    ¡°Foster father, my Spirit Plant suddenly lost contact with me, there¡¯s no response. Can you come and take a look?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was contemplating how to cultivate Yin Qingmei in the future, her slightly crying voice sounded in his ear.


    Without hesitation, Chen Mobai immediately flew down.


    He saw wisps of green smoke seeping from the crevices of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree¡¯s bark, as if it were overheated, and the spiritual energy of the ley lines connected to Qingdai Mountain¡¯s roots was also continuously emerging, seemingly aiding in its cooling.


    Chen Mobai, upon seeing this, burst into hearty laughter.

    ¡°No need to worry, this Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree is best at regulating fire veins. The illumination of my mirror light has unexpectedly activated its genes, and with the absorption of sufficient Solar Essence, this is a sign that it¡¯s evolving into Rank-2!¡±


    He had specifically learned about the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree back when he was taking care of his Green Paulownia Seedling Destiny Spirit Plant, so he immediately recognized what was happening when he saw this scene.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what¡¯s happening!¡±


    Yin Qingmei sighed with relief upon hearing this, but her face, which aroused tenderness, still carried a trace of worry.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, come to Qingdai Mountain. I need you here,¡±


    However, this was Chen Mobai¡¯s first encounter with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree¡¯s advancement, and considering that this was in Different World and a foreign land, he decided to call his cherished disciple over. He wanted her, the foremost Spirit Plant Master of Divine Wood Sect, to take a look.

 Chapter 1088 - Chapter 1088 Chapter 596 Biyu Wutongs Advancement Nourishing

    Chapter 1088: Chapter 596: Biyu Wutong¡¯s Advancement, Nourishing Vitality (Extra for 4000 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1088: Chapter 596: Biyu Wutong¡¯s Advancement, Nourishing Vitality (Extra for 4000 Monthly Votes) Zhuo Ming came over, and Chen Mobai shared with her all the knowledge about the advancement of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    Although this was not the territory of Xiao Nanshan, after her breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, her Mother Earth Cultivation became much stronger. Plus, she had already communed with the local spirit vein during the previous transplantation of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, it was easy for her to take control of the entire mountain and all the spirit plants growing on it through the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication.


    ¡°Prepare some ice-melted clean water, and I remember there is quite a lot of sweet dew at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion; Sister Yin, you can go and exchange it all¡­¡±


    After Zhuo Ming¡¯s Commune Spirit with All Things, she began to calmly direct the proceedings.


    Hearing this, Yin Qingmei did not hesitate and immediately set off with Escaping Light to purchase the sweet dew.


    The ice-melted clean water required the help of a cultivator practicing Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques. Zhuo Ming initially wanted to call Luo Yixuan over, but Chen Mobai felt it was too slow and took the task upon himself.


    During his high school entrance test, he had used Blackwater Cultivation to defeat all of his peers within Red Sandstone City. Although he had neglected it for several decades, with his current cultivation level, exhibiting Ice Breath was easy, and he met Zhuo Ming¡¯s needs without difficulty.


    Before long, Yin Qingmei also returned. She saw that Chen Mobai, the esteemed ancestor, was personally drawing water from the lake to irrigate and cool down the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and she was moved.


    After getting the sweet dew, Zhuo Ming used the Water Controlling Technique to meticulously apply drop by drop onto the crucial overheated nodes of the tree¡¯s vascular tissues.


    Her Divine Skills of Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros played a significant role at this time, acting like a doctor for plants, bit by bit helping the Spirit Plant disperse the uneven accumulation of Solar Essence throughout the trunk.


    Then she guided the upsurge of spirit vein energy to neutralize and soften the scorching Solar Essence from below, while on the outside, ice-melted clean water was poured down, quickly helping the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree overcome the most dangerous phase of its advancement.


    Yin Qingmei felt the ground of Qingdai Mountain tremble slightly and then saw the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree suddenly enlarge, with its roots cracking open the ground to reveal the dark yellow soil below.


    It was the inadvertent action of a Spirit Plant after its advancement. Zhuo Ming even assisted in loosening the roots to alleviate the pressure on the trunk caused by the expansion of the soil.


    Seeing this detail, Chen Mobai gave a slight nod.


    He had indeed cultivated a remarkable disciple who gave him peace of mind.


    Six days later, the trembling of Qingdai Mountain ceased.


    This meant that the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree had successfully advanced and stabilized its realm; it would now continuously draw from the spirit vein energy, the essence of the sun and moon, treading the path of longevity.


    After the advancement of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Yin Qingmei, as its symbiotic cultivator, felt a rush of extremely pure vitality surge through her body.


    She sat down involuntarily beneath this symbiotic Spirit Plant and entered a mysterious state of deep meditation.


    Chen Mobai knew this was due to the cultivation of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, but since he had not practiced it himself, he did not know how to help and could only quietly observe.


    Fortunately, Zhuo Ming was there to monitor the situation of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. She discovered that Yin Qingmei and the Spirit Plant had formed a unique cycle, exchanging things that were insignificant to themselves but very useful to the other party.


    Three days later, Yin Qingmei opened her eyes. Her fair skin had gained a gloss of moisture, and she radiated a liveliness from within, appearing to have rejuvenated by several years.


    ¡°Sect Leader, my cultivation level has not increased, but I feel like my body has become younger,¡± she said.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai gestured for Yin Qingmei to extend her hand.


    After taking her pulse and examining her, he indeed found her physical condition to be rejuvenated, something he had experienced himself.


    ¡°Your lifespan has increased. Judging by your age, it¡¯s by about ten years,¡± he said.


    Hearing this, a look of delight flashed across Yin Qingmei¡¯s pretty face. Of all the elixirs, the most precious were those that could extend one¡¯s lifespan.


    The famous Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, which could add twenty years to one¡¯s span, was regarded as the number one Spirit Pill among the East Barbarians. Each time the Golden Wind Ancestor prepared to refine this pill, cultivators would break down the door to place advance orders.


    And now Yin Qingmei had just gained ten more years to her lifespan simply because of the advancement of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. As a symbiotic cultivator practicing the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, she had been nourished by the Spirit Plant.


    With her Heavenly Spiritual Root, she was guaranteed at least a Core Formation, meaning she could symbiotically live with the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree for over four hundred years.


    With such an extension of years, if her lifespan could continue to increase, she might indeed succeed in the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± stage in the future.


    Chen Mobai was also very pleased with this.


    He had been concerned that Yin Qingmei would not live as long as the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree and that he might have to find another person to take care of it in the future.


    Now that Yin Qingmei had begun to grasp the basics of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and receive the reciprocal nurturing of her Destiny Spirit Plant, it meant she had laid the foundation for the practice of the Art of Longevity.


    When his Spiritual Root underwent the next change, he could enter the inheritance space of the Divine Tree Secret Realm and initiate this Longevity Technique from among the twenty-four Grand Spells for Yin Qingmei to begin practicing.


    This was a longevity Divine Skill that even True Lord Yuan had specifically devoted much effort to practice, arguably the top life-extending Divine Skill of the Tianhe Realm.


    Nobody would complain about having too much lifespan.


    Especially as Chen Mobai was Cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, which was particularly resource and time-consuming.


    Now that resources were practically no longer an issue, he hoped his lifespan would keep increasing.


    If one day Chen Mobai perfected his Longevity Dao Body, he could also use the Practice Together Technique to allow Yin Qingmei to aid his cultivation of the Longevity Technique with her Longevity Spiritual Power!


    Thinking of this, the look in his eyes towards Yin Qingmei became even kinder.


    What a treasure of a girl she was, not only able to nourish trees but also capable of guiding the condensation of Pure Yang Purple Qi with the Haotian Mirror. As she grew in cultivation, she could protect the sect and even help with his own cultivation.


    Initially, he had felt somewhat awkward about having an adopted daughter, but now Chen Mobai thought he wouldn¡¯t mind having a few more like her.


    ¡°This time, I really owe a lot to the Sect Leader and Zhuo Shimei¡­¡±


    At this moment, Yin Qingmei, instead of Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, kept expressing her gratitude. Had they not lent their assistance, she might have mishandled the situation, and the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree might have failed its advancement.


    If that had happened, not only would she have missed out on the nurturing energy, but she also might have suffered a severe loss of elemental energy due to their symbiotic relationship.


    ¡°Qingmei, after the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree advances, it¡¯ll be in great need of a large amount of energy. I¡¯ll temporarily lend you this Haotian Mirror. You should place it at the same angle as today in the sky at sunrise every day¡­¡±


    Having realized the value of Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai decided to further intensify her cultivation and even lent her his newly upgraded Lifespan Artifact.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    When Yin Qingmei received the Haotian Mirror, her hands were trembling.


    This was none other than the most famous magic artifact of her foster father, aside from the Longevity Sect¡¯s sacred sword. It had shown its divine might on the battlefield during his Foundation Establishment phase, with which he had slain Mu Hanxiong, one of the nine Peak Masters of Mountain Shaker Peak.


    [I will teach you a mantra. Remember it well¡­]


    At this point, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice transmission reached her ears, with instructions on how to use the Haotian Mirror.


    [Foster Father, I¡¯ve memorized it!]


    As a Lifespan Artifact originating from the same source as the Longevity Sect, Yin Qingmei quickly grasped its essence after listening and similarly transmitted her response to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Hmm, if you feel anything unusual during your cultivation these days, you can contact me directly with the Heavenly Communication Device.¡±


    Considering the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was an ancient method and that Yin Qingmei¡¯s symbiotic Destiny Spirit Plant was not the traditional Longevity Spirit Wood of the Longevity Sect, Chen Mobai was worried she might encounter problems during her cultivation, so he made a point of reiterating his instructions before leaving.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Chen Mobai took off into the sky with Zhuo Ming, bringing the precious disciple back with him.


    ¡°Yin Shimei¡¯s cultivation level seems to be close to a breakthrough. It¡¯s really something for someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    On the way, Zhuo Ming enviously commented, having sensed the essence of Yin Qingmei when she was being nurtured by the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, with their energies connected, allowing Zhuo Ming, who was in the state of All Things Spiritual Communication, to capture her foundation.


    ¡°Reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Phase in twenty-five years is barely meeting the standard,¡± Chen Mobai calculated the time Yin Qingmei had spent in Foundation Establishment, giving a slight nod of approval.


    Zhuo Ming wasn¡¯t surprised by this.


    After all, it hadn¡¯t even been twenty-five years since the man beside her had advanced from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation.


    ¡°How is your All-things Altruistic Cauldron coming along?¡±


    As they neared the boundary of Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai inquired about his treasured disciple¡¯s Lifespan Artifact.


    ¡°For the initial smelting with Earth Spiritual Power, I need ninety-nine different types of ores. I¡¯ve posted tasks through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and even visited the Spirit Vein Division, but I¡¯ve only found fifty-six pieces so far,¡± Zhuo Ming said, her expression turning a bit downcast as she talked. She had thought collecting ores would be easy but got stuck at the very first step.


    ¡°Have you sought out Wang Tingbo?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question that made Zhuo Ming scratch her head sheepishly; she indeed hadn¡¯t.


    ¡°In the Artifact Refining Department, there are many precious minerals, possibly even more varieties than in the Spirit Vein Division. I¡¯ll put in a good word for you; you can go see him directly tomorrow.¡±


    As they spoke, Chen Mobai had already delivered Zhuo Ming to her residence at Court Mountain. Upon landing and looking around, he couldn¡¯t help but express his amazement.


    A wooden house styled after their lineage stood tall on the mountain peak, with a transplanted Qingyang Spirit Tree at the doorway. A Green Cow with a nose ring was tied to the tree trunk by a rope, standing under the shade and nibbling on the grass below.


    On the tree, there was also a large bird with blue feathers perched on the longest branch, preening its shining plumes with its beak.


    In front of the wooden house, there was a Mountain Civet Cat with dark green eyes and a mix of black and gray fur. It had been lazily lying on the steps, but upon seeing Zhuo Ming descending from the sky, it immediately sprang to its feet, intending to leap towards her, only to notice Chen Mobai at her side.


    The instinct of a Spirit Beast made it feel as though it were staring at an intensely blazing inferno; its fur stood on end as it cautiously approached step by step.


    ¡°This little beast seems quite loyal to you.¡±


    Even the unintentional spiritual pressure emanating from Chen Mobai, now that he had reached Core Formation, was enough to make Demonic Beasts back away. However, the Mountain Civet Cat still braced itself to reach Zhuo Ming¡¯s side, showing its regard for her.


    ¡°The Civet was captured by the Sect Leader himself to form a contract with me. It might still remember that time, which explains its fear of you.¡±

    As Zhuo Ming spoke, she bent down to pick up the furry creature, with its distinctive round head and bushy tail, and hugged it in her arms.


    ¡°Of course, I remember. The Green Cow was a gift from Wen Bo, and the Qinghong Bird was from the Liang family. You¡¯ve raised them so well, they¡¯ve grown so much¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was familiar with each of these creatures like the back of his hand. Zhuo Ming nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of regret in her expression.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that since the Qinghong Bird came into my care, it has never soared freely.¡±


    Surrounded by the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, the Qinghong Bird¡¯s demonic aura could easily trigger the large formation. Thus, within the Divine Wood Sect, cultivators who reared flying Spirit Beasts always made sure not to let them fly too high or too far.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, would you like to go out for a walk?¡±

 Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089 Chapter 597 Scepter of Azure Ripples Tao Walkers

    Chapter 1089: Chapter 597: Scepter of Azure Ripples, Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler (4800 Monthly Votes Plus) Chapter 1089: Chapter 597: Scepter of Azure Ripples, Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler (4800 Monthly Votes Plus) Chen Mobai read between the lines of Zhuo Ming¡¯s words and sensed an underlying message.


    Perhaps, in her eyes, being able to cultivate steadily within the sect and tend to farming was already the envy of ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. There was no need to aspire for more.


    But what she herself hadn¡¯t realized was, in fact, after reaching Foundation Establishment, she harbored a hope to leave Giant Tree Ridge and see the world.


    ¡°Master, is that really possible?¡±


    Sure enough, as soon as Chen Mobai spoke, a look of surprise appeared on Zhuo Ming¡¯s face, and she asked in disbelief.


    She also understood her importance. If her divine skill of All Things Spiritual Communication were to be leaked, even the force of Divine Wood Sect would likely be shaken for a while.


    That was exactly why Chen Mobai wanted her to stay within the sect, and she complied obediently.


    Of course, this was also due to her own lack of proficiency in magic duels.


    Initially, it was also because she had refined the Ninefold Law Body that she could pass the sect¡¯s trials with her formidable defensive strength, earning the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Next month, your master will be heading to Rock Country to attend the first graduation ceremony of Longevity Academy. If you wish to leave, you can come with your master,¡± Chen Mobai said to Zhuo Ming with a smile, having him personally escort her assured her safety within the bounds of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming hugged the mountain civet cat and nodded repeatedly, even muttering to herself.


    ¡°Longevity Academy is managed by my junior brother, right? The last time he visited, he brought me twelve types of spiritual rice seeds collected from Rock Country; he was very polite.¡±


    ¡°If I go there this time, as his senior, should I prepare some gifts in return?¡±


    ¡°What should I give¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai listened to Zhuo Ming¡¯s mumbling and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, immediately making the decision for her.


    ¡°Prepare two jars of good wine, a bag of spirit rice, and also take those two just ripe fruits from the Immortal Peach Tree.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming had a realization and agreed that these gifts were indeed very appropriate.


    ¡°This time your master is taking you out not only to experience the world but mainly because Rock Country has the most mines in the entire Eastern Wilderness. There, you should be able to collect enough ore to smelt into the All-things Altruistic Cauldron,¡± Chen Mobai revealed another motive. Of course, if the opportunity arose, he could also take Zhuo Ming to visit the place where she might be able to comprehend the path for Core Formation and accrue merit in advance.


    Zhuo Ming listened and was filled with gratitude.


    It was precisely because she had a rare teacher like Chen Mobai, who sincerely considered his students, that she was willing to devote herself to farming in Xiao Nanshan.


    The next day, Zhuo Ming went to find the head of the Artifact Refining Department, Wang Tingbo.


    And indeed, there she found seventeen types of ore she had not yet collected.


    Although some of these ores were precious within the Artifact Refining Department, the person before him was a disciple of the Sect Leader, and Chen Mobai had personally sent a message using the Heavenly Communication Device just yesterday.


    Wang Tingbo had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell these ores to Zhuo Ming at the standard sect price.


    A month later, Chen Mobai returned from the Immortal Gate.


    During this time, he had helped his junior disciple Jiang Zongheng refine a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.


    For his four disciples, though his affection varied in depth, Chen Mobai was largely equitable in matters of material gifts.


    A Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo was naturally allocated to each disciple.


    After refining the Fire Jade Heart Lotus for Luo Yixuan, he began collecting materials to help Liu Wenbo and Jiang Zongheng design their magic artifacts.


    The eldest disciple also boasted of inheriting Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao, demanding only one thing for his own Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.


    A flying sword would suffice!


    Chen Mobai asked a few more questions, but he couldn¡¯t think of anything else; all he got was a response: ¡°Master, you decide.¡±


    It highlighted a simple obedience!


    Left with no choice, Chen Mobai had to work hard and, according to Liu Wenbo¡¯s practice situation, crafted him a Dual Attribute Flying Sword of water and wood.


    He named this sword the ¡°Scepter of Azure Ripples¡±!


    The materials used were well chosen so that in the future, if Liu Wenbo could form his core through the dual-attribute technique, the wood attribute of the Scepter of Azure Ripples would devour the formless blade water within, upgrading it to a Rank-3 Flying Sword.


    After receiving the flying sword, Liu Wenbo was so fond of it that he was unwilling to place it in his storage bag, nurturing it day and night without rest. He had finally communed spirit with it not long ago, forging the necessary bond between a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo and its cultivator.


    Following Liu Wenbo was the youngest disciple involved in education, Jiang Zongheng.


    As the most cultured among the four disciples and the one whose thoughts were closest to Chen Mobai, he quickly grasped the significance of a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.


    While coming to collect Longevity Tree Sap with Chen Mobai, they had gone to his old home in search of the spirit tree from his childhood, to no avail. Afterward, he deliberately stayed in Giant Tree Ridge for seven days to ponder this matter.


    In the end, he even drew a rough sketch, imitating Chen Mobai¡¯s blueprints, adding some annotations, personal requests, and future aspirations.


    His Lifebound Magic Artefact was a ruler!


    It was seven inches and four parts long, over five parts thick, and one inch wide, and on the front were two words, named by Chen Mobai.


    Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler!


    Chen Mobai wondered if every Artifact Refiner felt this way, but at least for him, after refining a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo, he was inexplicably eager to name it.


    It was akin to naming one¡¯s child.


    The name ¡°Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler¡± also embodied Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations for Jiang Zongheng.


    He hoped that he could walk his own path with determination, keep a sincere heart, and, no matter what difficulties and trials he may face in the future, never waver and never give up.


    For this disciplinary ruler, Chen Mobai went to Xiao Nanshan and chopped down the most essence-filled section of the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo.


    Of course, he did this behind Zhuo Ming¡¯s back.


    Even though she wouldn¡¯t have said anything even if she knew, for some reason, Chen Mobai just didn¡¯t want to see her show an expression of reluctance.


    Not informing her and chopping it down first was probably the greatest gentleness from Chen Mobai as a mentor.


    That day.


    Chen Mobai arrived at the Teleportation Array of Giant Tree Ridge, only to see Zhuo Ming already waiting there with a Storage Bag and a smile on her face.


    Apart from her, there was another girl with a cold demeanor and snow-white skin, who was Zhou Bingyan.


    Upon asking, it turned out that she had come last time to deliver the Life Stone, became good friends with Zhuo Ming, and upon hearing that the latter was collecting different types of ores, specifically gathered a whole bag of them in Sky Country and personally delivered them.


    Among them, there were twelve types that didn¡¯t overlap with Zhuo Ming¡¯s collection, which significantly advanced the progress of her All-things Altruistic Cauldron.


    This happened to be when Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate to refine the ¡°Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler.¡± Upon hearing about the graduation of the first cohort of the Longevity Academy¡¯s students, she also wanted to join the mentor and disciple to observe the occasion.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader. My great-uncle has also recently wanted to emulate the Longevity Academy to establish a Sacred Purity Academy within Sky Country. He sent me to observe the graduation ceremony and learn about the academy¡¯s advanced systems, and it happens that I¡¯ll be traveling the same route as you,¡± Zhou Bingyan carefully explained after seeing Chen Mobai and coming over with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Very good!¡±


    Chen Mobai simply nodded and said two words, then observed Zhuo Ming¡¯s expression and, seeing her happiness, led the two women into the Teleportation Array.


    Amidst the flickering silver light, the three of them passed through numerous Fang Markets.


    In places too far away without a Teleportation Array, Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, wielded the colorful clouds to carry them across the sky.


    Soon, the trio arrived in Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Outside Northern Abyss City¡¯s Teleportation Array, E Yun, Yu Lian, Qi Rui, Jiang Zongheng, Ding Ying, and other Foundation Establishment Practitioners stood at the front, leading disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, offering salutations to Chen Mobai as he emerged.


    ¡°Stand up, all of you, you have worked hard these six years.¡±


    When Chen Mobai last left Northern Abyss City, it was right around the time the Longevity Academy was just founded. Back then, Northern Abyss City already had a burgeoning trend, but overall, it was only equivalent to a small county next to the Immortal Gate.


    However, upon his return this time, he found the scale of Northern Abyss City had suddenly expanded by more than threefold, hardly inferior to any Blessed Earth City near the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai looked at the scattered Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings over the mountains but felt a sense of desolation and emptiness.


    He couldn¡¯t help frowning slightly while E Yun, standing next to him, explained the situation with an embarrassed look on his face.


    After tasting the sweetness of selling real estate, in these six years, he, the Town Guard of Rock Country, was incredibly active in opening up and selling Cave Dwellings.


    Cultivators can build homes astoundingly fast, with the key being the plot of land and the Spirit Vein Aura delivered by the Large Formation¡¯s main control in Northern Abyss City.


    Thus, without the constraints of production capacity, E Yun nearly developed half of North Abyss Mountain into Cave Dwellings.


    And the development of so many was not because he had made enough Spirit Stones.


    It was because the original plan for Beiyuan Immortal City designed by Chen Mobai only allowed for so much land to be developed into residential Cave Dwellings.


    In other words, within these six years, E Yun had developed all the residential Cave Dwellings that the regulations allowed.


    However, this was a bit of overdevelopment because when Chen Mobai initially designed it, he based the scale of Northern Abyss City on the center of the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Moreover, there are cool-down restrictions for the allocation of Rank-1 and Rank-2 Cave Dwellings, and among the Loose Cultivators with Spirit Stones, they are indeed a minority. Without prior experience, E Yun¡¯s excessive development led to more than half of the Cave Dwellings lying empty.


    He had thought about lowering the prices, but it caused the previous buyers to be extremely agitated, resulting in the desolate and empty landscape Chen Mobai saw.


    ¡°Sect Leader, would you like to take a stroll around the commercial district? It brings nearly a million Spirit Stones in revenue to the sect each year,¡± E Yun tried to compensate for the lapse by mentioning another major source of Spirit Stone income for Northern Abyss City apart from selling houses.


    Despite the overdevelopment of Cave Dwellings, Northern Abyss City¡¯s allure through a direct connection to Divine Wood Sect by Longevity Academy had still attracted the most Loose Cultivators and clans from the Eastern Wilderness to settle there. And they, in turn, drove even more Cultivators and even martial arts masters from the mortal world to come here.


    The commercial district wasn¡¯t overdeveloped, and with tens of thousands of people in Northern Abyss City, every store was highly prized and in great demand.


    The annual store rent along with the transfer fees, property management fees, spiritual energy fees, and so on allowed E Yun to earn a million Spirit Stones every year just by lying down.


    ¡°No need, let¡¯s head straight to Longevity Academy,¡± said Chen Mobai, who was now indifferent to the million Spirit Stones. Moreover, the commercial streets here, compared to those at the Immortal Gate, were just ordinary.


    After his flat refusal, he led everyone directly to Longevity Academy on the outskirts of Northern Abyss City.


    The graduation ceremony would be tomorrow, so Chen Mobai rested for a day in a room arranged by Jiang Zongheng.

    ¡°Here, try it and see if it fits your hand,¡± said Chen Mobai, handing over the Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler to Jiang Zongheng, who respectfully received it with both hands. After trying out the Longevity Spiritual Power a bit, he quickly revealed a joyous expression.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    The Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler not only perfectly met Jiang Zongheng¡¯s requirements but far exceeded them.


    He had never encountered a magic artifact that matched him so well.


    ¡°Eh, Master, the material for this disciplinary ruler couldn¡¯t be¡­¡± Zhuo Ming finally noticed something. She opened her eyes wide with suspicion and asked.

 Chapter 1090 - Chapter 1090 Chapter 598 Valedictorian

    Chapter 1090: Chapter 598: Valedictorian Chapter 1090: Chapter 598: Valedictorian ¡°Congratulations on becoming the first chief graduate of the Longevity Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai, dressed in the solemn Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, handed a graduation certificate he had personally written to the petite girl before him, who was visibly excited but was forcibly maintaining her composure.


    She was none other than the daughter of the Alchemist Han Tingfeng, named Han Zhiling.


    In the Longevity Academy, she had graduated with excellent marks in all subjects and went on to clear all rounds in the competition, overpowering the children of noble families as well as specially recruited geniuses, eventually ranking first in overall scholarly performance, and was chosen by Jiang Zongheng as the chief graduate of the Longevity Academy.


    ¡°This is your reward for being the chief graduate, a Foundation Building Pill. Take care of it!¡±


    While receiving the graduation certificate, Han Zhiling managed to maintain a composed face, but when Chen Mobai smiled and passed her a transparent glass Jade Vial, she could no longer restrain herself, and her face showed an unprecedented expression of joy.


    ¡°Thank you, Principal!¡±


    When Han Zhiling took the Foundation Building Pill, she felt countless burning gazes upon her, and even with her back turned, she could clearly sense the envy and jealousy.


    This was a Foundation Building Pill, after all!


    Although there had been rumors spreading around the Academy prior to graduation that the Principal would bestow a Foundation Building Pill as a reward to the chief graduate¡­


    ¡­the teachers in the Academy never gave an official announcement, so although the students were hopeful, they also feared being disappointed in the end.


    So when she truly held a Foundation Building Pill in the palm of her hand, Han Zhiling felt like she had really reached the peak of her life.


    After all, this was an elixir that even her father would have to scheme intricately for, perhaps even risking his life to obtain.


    ¡°Perhaps you now think this is a very great honor, but a thousand years later you will find that your name has become an eternal symbol because of this Longevity Academy.¡±


    After having distributed the graduation certificate and the Foundation Building Pill to Han Zhiling, Chen Mobai smiled and said something that sent a shiver down her spine.


    And it wasn¡¯t just the students who attended this graduation ceremony; there were also the parents, cultivators from other forces and sects in the Eastern Wilderness witnessing the event.


    For instance, Tan Rong from the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Fire Vein, who had been talking with Ding Ying, suddenly heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words and felt a grandeur that seemed to encompass the universe.


    In Chen Mobai, she saw a pride and confidence she had never witnessed before!


    It was as if there was nothing in this world that could stop him from attaining what he wanted to achieve.


    As a disciple of the Fire Vein Golden Core, she had also met Zhou Ye and Nu Jiang, but compared to Elder Chen¡¯s majestic and spirited appearance, both seemed a grade lower in stature.


    He was like the Taoist Child in legends from the Holy Land¨Cno¡­ as a Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect, he was akin to those Taoist Children.


    Such a character, appearing in the Eastern Wilderness!


    The more Tan Rong looked at Chen Mobai, the more dazzling he seemed compared to this mundane and turbid world; this young man was simply too glaring.


    It wasn¡¯t just Tan Rong, all the cultivators present at the ceremony felt the sheer magnitude of Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the grand aura that seemed to swallow the skies and roll across the earth.


    This is the pride of the Eastern Wilderness, isn¡¯t it!


    Watching his daughter descend from the stage with her graduation certificate and a Foundation Building Pill in hand, Han Tingfeng suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of pride swell within him!


    An intense impulse made him involuntarily raise his right hand, going against his usual low-profile demeanor in the Eastern Wilderness, as he stood up and pointed at Han Zhiling, who had returned to the class.


    ¡°This is my daughter!¡±


    As soon as those words escaped his lips, he felt a tinge of regret.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, where cultivation was the focus, how could he indulge in such ostentation? Was he not inviting trouble for himself and his daughter by not keeping a steady and low profile?


    He wondered what had come over him at that moment, it was as if he was bewitched, unable to help blurting out those words.


    ¡°Brother Han, I had no idea your pure Yin body daughter was so remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Truly, a case of ¡®like father, like daughter¡¯ indeed!¡±


    ¡°How do you teach her on a regular basis? Could you share some tricks? I¡¯ve toiled, selling my magic artifacts, to send my child to the Scholarly Mansion, but he ranks at the bottom in every annual test, infuriating me to no end!¡±


    Before Han Tingfeng¡¯s feelings of regret could fully surface, the parents who had heard his words began to crowd around him. Some recognized him, but many more were looking at him with eyes full of envy, seeking advice on raising a child.


    A sense of immense satisfaction and achievement that had never bubbled up in his heart before caused Han Tingfeng to involuntarily grin, as he once again couldn¡¯t resist flaunting his daughter, abandoning his usual principle of keeping a low profile.


    ¡°This girl has been smart since she was little. She just needs to see me perform an alchemy procedure once and she can almost replicate it entirely!¡±


    ¡°But mainly, it is due to the strict discipline at home. Even on holidays, I make her study her lessons rigorously.¡±


    ¡°While talent is important, I believe hard work is the key. Of course, her self-discipline is also a factor in her success¡­¡±


    Han Tingfeng had never felt such an urge to talk before. He basked in the jealous and envious looks from the crowd, incessantly talking without a break.


    In that moment, he felt a desire to soar into the skies and shout to everyone that the valedictorian graduate of the Longevity Academy was his daughter, Han Zhiling!


    ¡°Hahaha, daughter, you¡¯ve really given your father a great amount of honor this time!¡±


    When the graduation ceremony ended, Han Tingfeng cheerfully walked back with his daughter who was trying to behave modestly but couldn¡¯t contain her joy, and his dejected-looking son who gazed at his sister with envious eyes, head held high and chest out, heading home in Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Father, the Foundation Building Pill is incredibly precious. Why don¡¯t you keep it safe for sister first, to prevent any accidents from happening and someone snatching it away!¡±


    Han Tingfeng¡¯s son, Han Ronglu, suddenly spoke up, only to be met with a displeased look from the latter.


    ¡°This is Northern Abyss City, the Large Formation also envelops the Longevity Academy, and Foundation Establishment Practitioners are always stationed in the city¨Cit¡¯s the safest place on the Eastern Desolation Plateau.¡±


    ¡°In the six years we¡¯ve been living here, have you ever heard of any residents being robbed by Rogue Cultivators inside the city?¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t some savage land like Lei Nation, and moreover, Elder Chen is here today. Your sister is now the top student of Longevity Academy, and her Foundation Building Pill was personally granted by Elder Chen himself. I would like to see who has the audacity to make a move here.¡±


    Han Tingfeng spoke in a tone he had never used before, and there was even an urge to have Han Zhiling take the Foundation Building Pill out of her Storage Bag and flaunt it through the streets.


    Fortunately, he finally came to his senses and did not do it.


    ¡°Father, I see a classmate. I will go say hello,¡±


    When Han Zhiling spotted a youth rummaging through a stall on the street, she suddenly spoke up. Han Tingfeng nodded cheerfully and then took his son to a tavern on this commercial street to wait for her.


    ¡°Song Huangdae!¡±


    After walking over, Han Zhiling called out the name of the youth directly. Song Huangdae, who had slightly dark circles under his eyes and a slightly chubby face, turned around upon hearing her, looking very surprised.


    ¡°It¡¯s the class president! Congratulations on getting the Foundation Building Pill!¡±


    Song Huangdae was Han Zhiling¡¯s classmate, average in appearance with ordinary talent and mediocre grades. In magical duels, he could only use some defensive earth techniques, making him the least conspicuous person in the entire class.


    Yet, during an unexpected incident, Han Zhiling discovered his true hidden strength.


    It was strong enough to easily overpower her!


    However, she was forced to make a Dao Heart Oath with him to not reveal the slightest thing about him or else her whole family would meet its demise.


    Han Zhiling originally thought Song Huangdae was concealing himself to make a stunning debut at graduation, avoiding early attention from the other geniuses.


    When it was time for the graduation duel, Han Zhiling felt utterly hopeless upon drawing Song Huangdae.


    In the whole Scholarly Mansion, she had only ever lost to him.


    Yet, to her surprise, Song Huangdae forfeited before even stepping onto the stage, claiming that he was used to the class president¡¯s strength and surely wouldn¡¯t be a match, so he didn¡¯t want to embarrass himself.


    Following this, the true top student of the Longevity Academy graduated inconspicuously.


    ¡°With your strength, you could have easily defeated me to become the chief. Why didn¡¯t you do it?¡±


    The two found themselves in a quiet alley, and Han Zhiling asked with confusion. Song Huangdae only smiled faintly, fidgeting with a reddish-brown ore he had just purchased from the stall, and posed a question in return.


    ¡°Since we¡¯re both entering the Divine Wood Sect, what difference does it make between being the chief graduate and a regular graduate?¡±


    At the graduation ceremony, the admission list for the Divine Wood Sect also was posted. Though Song Huangdae had forfeited against Han Zhiling, he still barely made the cutoff and appeared on the list.


    ¡°But the chief gets a Foundation Building Pill!¡±


    Han Zhiling couldn¡¯t help but interject.


    ¡°Oh, I did not know that before.¡±


    Song Huangdae made a comment that caused Han Zhiling to frown slightly¨Cthe news about the Foundation Building Pill had been the talk of the entire Scholarly Mansion; it was impossible for a student not to know.


    ¡°As long as I enter the Divine Wood Sect, I can get a Foundation Building Pill by becoming a true successor in the Sect¡¯s grand competition that takes place every ten years. By then, I should be around the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, which would be just right.¡±


    Seeing the disbelief on Han Zhiling¡¯s face, Song Huangdae shared a part of his thoughts.


    Although he also greatly coveted the Foundation Building Pill, he did not wish to expose himself to the likes of Elder Chen from the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, even though he had forged his identity well, if the Divine Wood Sect were to discover his true origins, he would be executed without question.


    If not for the mission he had, he would never have placed himself within the main camp of his enemy, the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°After we join the Divine Wood Sect, we should help each other out as classmates,¡± Han Zhiling hesitated a bit, and finally said. A trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Song Huangdae¡¯s mouth after hearing this.


    ¡°Your father is Han Tingfeng, a Rank-2 Alchemist who holds some sway even among Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Northern Abyss City, and the chief graduate personally mentioned by Elder Chen. After entering the Divine Wood Sect, you will surely be under the tutelage of a Foundation Establishment mentor. You won¡¯t be in the same circle as an ordinary Loose Cultivator like me. It¡¯s better we interact less,¡±


    Having said that, Song Huangdae left the alley with the ore in hand.


    If killing someone in the Northern Abyss City wouldn¡¯t have drawn the attention of the Divine Wood Sect, he would have dealt with Han Zhiling when he was first exposed.


    However, once inside the Divine Wood Sect, in the vastness of the Giant Tree Ridge, he could well conceal himself and would no longer have any dealings with her.


    Seeing Song Huangdae walking away, Han Zhiling frowned slightly but was helpless to do anything.


    Just as she turned around, she staggered in shock.


    Han Ronglu was standing at the mouth of the alley, watching her with a strange expression.


    ¡°Father sent me to find you. He has prepared a great meal!¡±


    ¡°Oh, alright!¡±


    Han Zhiling, fearing that Han Ronglu had caught on to Song Huangdae¡¯s true nature, and since she had made a Dao Heart Oath, if she revealed anything, her whole family would perish.


    But at that moment, she didn¡¯t dare ask, frightened that if Han Ronglu had indeed seen something, speaking out would validate the oath.


    Fortunately, Han Ronglu did not inquire further.


    After a brief conversation, they left the alley one after the other.

    Following the first graduation ceremony of the Longevity Academy, the happiest person had to be E Yun.


    When the news of Chen Mobai giving the Foundation Building Pill to Han Zhiling spread, the previously tepid real estate market suddenly became bustling.


    E Yun had not experienced the term ¡°demand exceeding supply¡± in many years. Apart from keeping some for Sect Disciples to reside in, he sold all the Rank-1 and Rank-2 Cave Dwellings during this opportunity.


    Just by doing this, he collected over eight million Spirit Stones.


    This was even with E Yun not being blinded by the influx of Spirit Stones, having chosen not to sell any Rank-3 Cave Dwellings; otherwise, it would have surely surpassed ten million.

 Chapter 1091 - Chapter 1091 Chapter 599 The Grand Plan to Develop the

    Chapter 1091: Chapter 599: The Grand Plan to Develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau (Additional Chapter for Reaching 5600 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1091: Chapter 599: The Grand Plan to Develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau (Additional Chapter for Reaching 5600 Monthly Votes) ¡°Han Tingfeng failed at his Foundation Establishment and died?¡±


    In the grand hall of Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai was leading the crowd, standing in front of the Earth Master¡¯s three-dimensional topographic map of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, explaining how to manage and improve the barren and impoverished land, when he suddenly heard a piece of news that surprised him slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s said that after Han Zhiling became the top graduating student, and his children were guaranteed entry into our sect, he no longer had any concerns. He threw a three-day feast, then died with a smile after taking the Foundation Building Pill and entering seclusion.¡±


    E Yun went out to inquire and quickly obtained firsthand news.


    Han Tingfeng was already approaching the end of his lifespan. He had been preparing for his last attempt at Foundation Establishment for a long time but had never resolved to do it because his children hadn¡¯t been properly provided for at the time.


    Now that his children had both entered the Divine Wood Sect, the number one sect of the Eastern Wasteland, his decision was well within expectations.


    ¡°Zong Heng, you go and offer condolences on behalf of Scholarly Mansion.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    With Han Tingfeng¡¯s death, it was possible for other cultivators to bully his young children, though the two weren¡¯t formally initiated yet, they were already considered Divine Wood Sect disciples.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s own disciple, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s visit was enough to deter those with ulterior motives.


    To Chen Mobai, this was only a minor issue. If Han Zhiling hadn¡¯t been the student to whom he personally awarded the graduation certificate, E Yun might not have even mentioned it to him.


    After Jiang Zongheng left, Chen Mobai continued to lead the crowd in front of the topographic map, explaining his grand vision for transforming the land.


    Naturally, Zhuo Ming was closest to him.


    Upon hearing that Pure Bamboo had been chopped down, she was depressed for a quarter of an hour, but for a cultivator, even the finest heavenly and earthly treasures are bound to be harvested and refined.


    Zhuo Ming, being a local, adjusted her mood quickly and returned to normal.


    After all, Chen Mobai had not uprooted the Pure Bamboo; it could still grow back in the future.


    Now, Chen Mobai¡¯s explanations to the map were primarily directed towards her.


    ¡°Above the Eastern Desolation Plateau lie Sky Nation, Rock Nation, Rainbow Nation, Thunder Nation, and Frost Nation, as well as the majority of Snow Country¡¯s and Wind Country¡¯s territories.¡±


    ¡°According to my estimation, this was originally the richest area in the Eastern Wasteland in terms of resourceful spirit veins, but in an ancient time, it was devoured bare by an overwhelming swarm of locusts. Fortunately, most of the spirit vein mineral resources underground were spared from consumption, so the desertification of the land isn¡¯t too severe.¡±


    ¡°I intend to restore this plateau to its ancient vitality with lush greenery. To do this, we need to start from two aspects. First, we must establish a barrier in Rainbow Nation to prevent the encroachment of the Sand Sea, and second, we plant easily growing and reproducing spirit grasses in the barren areas of the plateau to restore the vitality of the land.¡±


    ¡°Once the plateau¡¯s fertility is sufficient, we can plant various medicinal herbs, as well as fruits, flowers, and trees, to re-establish a complete and robust ecosystem. Later on, we can also leverage the abundant spirit grass resources to develop livestock farming; this plateau is naturally suited for the breeding of meat animals with rich resources such as cattle, sheep, poultry, and livestock.¡±


    Chen Mobai said a lot, but even though those present in the hall were among the elites of the Divine Wood Sect, the ones who could understand and comprehend were still in the minority.


    However, as cultivators possess strong memory, even if they didn¡¯t understand at the moment, they memorized every word spoken by Sect Leader Chen Mobai.


    Among them, most people didn¡¯t understand Chen Mobai¡¯s grand vision.


    To the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland, such a large-scale project, taking at least a decade or even a hundred years to yield results, seemed pointless.


    Since they had started their Qi cultivation journey, they had been taught and had experienced a world where the strong prey upon the weak.


    The precious medicinal plants you spent decades cultivating could be confiscated by a high-level cultivator right before you on the day they blossomed and bore fruit.


    If lucky, you might escape with your life by pleading with a smile, but most are casually killed, becoming fertilizer for the earth.


    This is the norm on the lands of the Eastern Wasteland.


    Over time, except for the large sects with a stable base of power who would cultivate medicinal herbs and Spirit Rice, individual loose cultivators and even some minor sects had mostly given up on the thankless task of farming.


    Consequently, many people didn¡¯t comprehend Chen Mobai¡¯s plans to extensively develop livestock and spirit plants across the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    The sect, with only a few thousand monks, wasn¡¯t lacking these things.


    And if there ever was a shortage, why not just rob others?


    This was the simple and entrenched mindset of Eastern Wasteland Cultivators.


    However, Chen Mobai was a Nascent Soul Ancestor and an unchallengeable Sect Leader within the Divine Wood Sect. Even though many did not understand, they still dared not openly oppose.


    Is this really going to work?


    Isn¡¯t this a waste of the sect¡¯s resources?


    It might not be long before we have a large-scale battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, and when war breaks out, these painstakingly cultivated things are sure to be destroyed¨Chow unworthy!


    After the meeting, many from the Divine Wood Sect gathered in small groups, discussing Chen Mobai¡¯s plans to develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Most people were not optimistic.


    Chen Mobai knew this well in his heart, but with his status, he felt no need to explain himself to them. He had the rich and advanced successful experience of the Immortal Gate, he just needed to direct these people according to his plans.


    Years later, when the Eastern Desolation Plateau had regained its vitality and the number of mortals born with Spiritual Roots had increased, and the numbers of the Divine Wood Sect Monks had surged, these people would understand his good intentions.


    ¡°Master, I didn¡¯t understand much of what you were explaining just now.¡±


    When it was just the two of them, Zhuo Ming took out her notes and sought clarification from Chen Mobai, pointing at the topographical map.


    ¡°Oh, Ming¡¯er, whatever doubts you have, just ask, and I will resolve them for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately asked with concern after listening to her.


    This great merit of opening up the Eastern Desolation Plateau and managing the Boundless Sand Sea rested on his precious disciple.


    It was okay for others to not understand, but she must.


    While Chen Mobai was giving Zhuo Ming one-on-one private tutoring, Jiang Zongheng had already brought Ding Ying to Han Tingfeng¡¯s Cave Dwelling.


    Ding Ying was Han Zhiling¡¯s homeroom teacher, and when she heard about this matter, she also took the initiative to come over.


    Upon their arrival, they witnessed a scene.


    ¡°Niece, your father last time forged that Rank-2 Condensing Spirit Pill and racked up a debt of two thousand Spirit Stones for medicinal ingredients in my shop. Although your father¡¯s seven-day mourning period has not yet passed, I run a small business, and two thousand Spirit Stones is not a trivial amount, so I hope you can repay it as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Wang, please give my brother and me a bit more time. We will join the Divine Wood Sect next year, and once we do, we¡¯ll receive monthly Spirit Stone stipends and will surely repay you gradually.¡±


    ¡°Niece, it¡¯s not that your uncle doesn¡¯t want to give you face, but the batch of Condensing Spirit Grass that your father wanted was also obtained on credit through my connections from the Hua family. Now they are hounding me for the debt, threatening to resort to the E Town Guardian if the Spirit Stones are not paid according to the terms. You know that I have signed a contract for my shop lease in Northern Abyss City. If there are outstanding debts for goods, the shop can be seized and I could be expelled from the city.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Wang, just wait a few more days. After my father¡¯s seven-day mourning period ends, I will transfer the ownership of my Rank-1 Cave Dwelling to you.¡±


    ¡°Niece, while housing prices have gone up recently, your Rank-1 Cave Dwelling can¡¯t match two thousand Spirit Stones. Besides, apart from me, your father also owed other medicinal herb traders Spirit Stones¡­ How about this, if you mortgage that Foundation Building Pill to me, I¡¯ll take the loss and settle all the bad debts left by your father for you.¡±


    By the end, this Wang surnamed cultivator finally showed his true colors, revealing his real purpose.


    Ding Ying glared with her almond-shaped eyes, instantly unleashing the pressure of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner from outside the door.


    The cultivators inside the Cave Dwelling immediately ran out and saw a tall, round-bellied man adorned in gold and silver. When he saw the two people outside, his expression drastically changed.


    Every Foundation Establishment Practitioner in Northern Abyss City was well-known, and Wang Juyuan, being a businessman in the city, recognized Jiang Zongheng and Ding Ying at a glance.


    ¡°Paying respects to the two elders, I am Wang Juyuan of the Liu Dan Mountain Wang family. Hearing of Brother Han¡¯s passing away in meditation, I came specially today to pay tribute.¡±


    The Liu Dan Mountain Wang family was also a major clan in Rock Nation with two Nascent Soul Ancestors. Although Wang Juyuan was not from the main line of descent, he utilized the power of the Wang family to open a medicinal herb shop in Northern Abyss City.


    He had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, but the Foundation Building Pill obtained through auction by the Nanxuan sect was not his turn to use. Hearing of Han Tingfeng¡¯s passing, he immediately came unashamedly to force his way upon the younger generation, determined to get his hands on the Foundation Building Pill held by Han Zhiling.


    In order to do this, he specially collaborated with other medicinal herb traders, getting his hands on the IOUs that Han Tingfeng had signed, so that even if the Divine Wood Sect called him into question, he would have a valid reason.


    The reason Northern Abyss City had been able to outperform the Treasure Color Market, which auctioned Foundation Building Pills and attract the most cultivators to settle, was due to E Yun following the teachings left by Chen Mobai, treating every cultivator in the city fairly and justly.


    If any rule-breaking was discovered, E Yun would handle it with swift decisiveness.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s support, Northern Abyss City had weathered some storms over the years, but had continued to outpace the Nanxuan sect step by step, becoming the central hub of the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Therefore, although Ding Ying detested Wang Juyuan, she could not do much to him.


    After all, the rules of Northern Abyss City were personally established by Chen Mobai, who decreed that even Divine Wood Sect disciples must be treated without favor if they broke the rules.


    ¡°Then, I will take my leave¡­¡±


    Seeing that neither Jiang Zongheng nor Ding Ying paid him any attention, Wang Juyuan sheepishly smiled and took his leave.


    ¡°Thank you both, teachers!¡±

    Han Zhiling thanked Jiang Zongheng and Ding Ying, knowing that had they not come, Wang Juyuan would not have left so easily.


    To purchase a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling in Northern Abyss City, Han Tingfeng had mortgaged the Black Crow Elixir Scripture, and naturally, all his other Spirit Stone savings had been depleted.


    Over the years, Han Tingfeng lived in Northern Abyss City. Although he earned quite a number of Spirit Stones through his alchemy, all his savings were spent on preparing for his Foundation Establishment, leading to a substantial debt.


    According to the rules of Northern Abyss City, repaying debts was a natural duty.


    ¡°Since he has an IOU signed by your father, we can only help you out of today¡¯s predicament. Perhaps after your father¡¯s seven-day mourning period, you and your brother should pack your belongings and head directly to Giant Tree Ridge.¡±

 Chapter 1092 - Chapter 1092 Chapter 600 Zong Hengs Discourse Rules (Add More

    Chapter 1092: Chapter 600: Zong Heng¡¯s Discourse: Rules (Add More for 6400 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1092: Chapter 600: Zong Heng¡¯s Discourse: Rules (Add More for 6400 Monthly Votes) E Yun encountered a very thorny issue.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, he was considered a noteworthy figure. As the lord of Northern Abyss City and town guard of Rock Country, as well as a direct descendant of Chen Mobai, he was arguably one of the top cultivators apart from those Nascent Soul ancestors.


    But today, he was stumped by a dispute between two Qi Practitioners.


    The owner of Liu Dan Elixir Shop, Wang Juyuan, accused Han Tingfeng of owing Spirit Stones, leading to a breach of contract and demanded restitution of three times the losses from Han Tingfeng¡¯s descendants.


    If it were anyone else, E Yun would have immediately sent cultivators from the Penalty Evil Hall to demand the Han family to immediately pay up as agreed.


    If they really were penniless, then he would simply seize their cave dwelling and properties, auction them off at market price, and settle the unpaid Spirit Stones after.


    But the key issue was, among the children Han Tingfeng left behind, there was Han Zhiling.


    This person had only recently been personally awarded a diploma by Chen Mobai and bestowed with a Foundation Building Pill as the chief graduate of the Changsheng Scholarly Mansion.


    With her talent, should she join the Divine Wood Sect, she was bound to be a future core disciple, and might even become the next sect leader.


    After learning about this matter, E Yun immediately summoned Wang Juyuan, hinting that he should not take the matter public, but who would have thought that the latter didn¡¯t understand and, stubborn as a mule, insisted that Han Zhiling must pay the Spirit Stones.


    Although he knew that Wang Juyuan was after the Foundation Building Pill, in the face of rules set by Chen Mobai, E Yun had no choice but to bite back his anger and told him to go back and wait.


    If the minor problem couldn¡¯t be resolved, then seek out a bigger one!


    E Yun waited half a day, and Yu Lian came in with a Foundation Establishment Practitioner who had a bitter smile on his face.


    This person was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Wang family from Liu Dan Mountain, named Wang Xuan Ming.


    ¡°Wang brother, it seems your family¡¯s youngster has been a bit thoughtless,¡± E Yun said.


    Wang Juyuan had staked everything on this only chance for Foundation Establishment and was not giving face even to E Yun. But the Wang family of Liu Dan Mountain couldn¡¯t do that; even though they were the local bosses of Rock Country, against the colossal Divine Wood Sect, they had no choice but to bow their heads.


    ¡°E Town Guard, before coming here, I had already spoken to this child, but he said that even if he is kicked out of the Wang family, he must get that Foundation Building Pill,¡± Wang Xuan Ming said.


    When Wang Xuan Ming heard what Wang Juyuan had to say, his hands rose, as he wanted to just strike down this disgraceful descendant then and there.


    But within Northern Abyss City, he dared not kill someone.


    All he could do was to scold Wang Juyuan, comply with his wish to be expelled from the Wang family, and then hurry over with Yu Lian to explain to E Yun.


    ¡°Hmph, the Wang family is really great!¡± E Yun said with a sneer, his face growing cold as the strategy of bringing in the parent had failed.


    However, he was determined to handle the situation properly since it involved a chief disciple personally appointed by Chen Mobai. If word spread that this was an old debtor, where would the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s pride lie?


    He thought about it and decided to advance Han Zhiling the Spirit Stones to settle the issue for the time being.


    Over the years, E Yun had served diligently as the lord of Northern Abyss City, and even though he had been impartial in his duties, it was very easy for someone in his position to earn some legitimate Spirit Stones.


    Hence, he had saved up over a hundred thousand. Parting with ten thousand to settle Han Tingfeng¡¯s debt was painful, but he also viewed it as an investment in the talent of Han Zhiling.


    Of course, the main reason was not to tarnish Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation.


    Thinking this way, E Yun took out his Heavenly Communication Device. Ever since this magic artifact was invented, its convenience had been praised by all cultivators. Chen Mobai, after assuming his position, ordered the Artifact Refining Department to make quite a few, equipping each town guard with one. Possessing the privilege of using a Heavenly Communication Device was a matter of pride among the cultivators of Northern Abyss City, and across Rock Country, even throughout the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau, it had become a symbol of status.


    After a while, Jiang Zongheng and Ding Ying, having received the communication from the Heavenly Communication Device, both came over.


    E Yun explained the matter to them.


    ¡°Jiang Shidi, Ding Shimei, how about we settle it this way?¡± E Yun said.


    E Yun was no saint; if he was going to spend ten thousand Spirit Stones to help Han Tingfeng settle his debt, he definitely wanted the involved parties to be aware of it.


    At the very least, he wanted Han Zhiling to acknowledge this favor!


    ¡°E Shixiong is generous and broad-minded. On behalf of Zhiling, I offer my thanks in advance,¡± Ding Ying said, giving E Yun a thumbs up and voicing her gratitude.


    ¡°After all, our sect leader personally¡­¡±


    ¡°I object!¡±


    Before E Yun could finish speaking, Jiang Zongheng, with a serious face, shook his head, indicating that this was not acceptable.


    ¡°Jiang Shidi, are you worried that it would be too great a pressure for young Zhiling to owe such a large favor at an early age, which would be detrimental for their future cultivation?¡±


    Ding Ying¡¯s remarks caused Jiang Zongheng to shake his head again, posing a counterquestion.


    ¡°If today E Yun Shixiong spends ten thousand Spirit Stones for Han Zhiling, an uninitiated disciple, to settle the matter, what if tomorrow another one of our sect¡¯s formal disciples borrows even more Spirit Stones under their own name and gets called out? How will E Yun Shixiong handle it then?¡± he asked.


    ¡°This¡­ Jiang Shidi and Ding Shimei, you both are insiders, so I¡¯ll speak my mind. The reason I am willing to pay these Spirit Stones to settle the matter is mainly because Han Zhiling is related to the sect leader¡¯s reputation. If it were any other sect disciple, naturally, I would ignore it,¡± E Yun replied earnestly, answering Jiang Zongheng¡¯s question forthrightly.


    ¡°No calamity is worse than unfairness. If today E Yun Shixiong helps the outsider Han Tingfeng with his debts and tomorrow neglects to do the same for our sect¡¯s disciples, comparing both situations, other disciples will see Shixiong as nothing but a sycophant. With such a reputation, when our master retires, does Shixiong think he could still become the sect leader?¡± Jiang Zongheng said.


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s remarks made E Yun break into profuse sweat in an instant.


    ¡°I¡¯m grateful for the reminder, little brother. Otherwise, I would have made a serious mistake today.¡±


    E Yun stood up abruptly, holding Jiang Zongheng¡¯s hand and thanking him repeatedly.


    It must be known that although he was a direct descendant of Chen Mobai and currently recognized within the Sect as the first in line to become the future Sect Leader, there was still Zhou Wangshen in Sky Country watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey.


    In recent years, he had learned of Zhou Bingyan¡¯s frequent visits to Giant Tree Ridge. If she wasn¡¯t purchasing Life Stones for the Sect Leader, she was helping Zhuo Ming collect various types of ores. This time, she even traveled together with the Sect Leader via the Teleportation Array, which showed her deep relations with the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    Moreover, what E Yun knew very well was that Chen Mobai always emphasized ¡°integrity as the foundation.¡±


    A good reputation takes hundreds of years to build but might be destroyed by an exceedingly trivial matter.


    Since Chen Mobai built Northern Abyss City, it has continually raised the moral standard in the Eastern Wilderness, and as of today, it has become the benchmark of the Eastern Wilderness.


    For this reason, many Loose Cultivators trust in Northern Abyss City, and by extension, truly regard Divine Wood Sect as the number one major sect in the Eastern Wilderness!


    To achieve this, Northern Abyss City took twenty-four years.


    If twenty-four years of good reputation were ruined in his hands, not to mention the position of Sect Leader, it was likely that there wouldn¡¯t be a place for E Yun in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions in the future.


    ¡°So how should we resolve this matter?¡±


    After stating his views, Ding Ying, with a worried look on her face, asked. She was quite fond of Han Zhiling, a child with outstanding talent who was also obedient and pure.


    She definitely stood by her student. If it were anywhere else, someone like Wang Juyuan, a nobody, wouldn¡¯t dare to act like this; she would have dealt with him covertly long ago.


    But this was in Northern Abyss City, with rules set by Chen Mobai!


    ¡°How about I take Zhi Ling and the others away from Northern Abyss City first? With the creditor gone, E Shixiong can also have an excuse to drag it out.¡±


    Ding Ying thought for a moment and suggested a method, but both E Yun and Jiang Zongheng rejected it at the same time.


    ¡°That¡¯s absolutely unacceptable. If we did that, I would be neglecting my duties. Moreover, if the creditor leaves, I would have to auction off Han Ronglu¡¯s Rank-3 Cave Dwelling property, and then he would lose his Foundation Building Pill, which would be an even greater loss.¡±


    ¡°Then what should we do? We can¡¯t really let that Wang Juyuan succeed and take away Zhi Ling¡¯s Foundation Building Pill. If that happens, where would the face of our Divine Wood Sect go?¡±


    Ding Ying, who was once a stern beauty in her youth, had been scared and anxious for over a decade after Chen Mobai suddenly emerged. It took years for her to mellow down, but now she was also a bit angry.


    Their esteemed sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment was being troubled by Wang Juyuan, a mere Ninth Layer Qi Cultivator, which would be utterly laughable to other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness if the story got out.


    ¡°Why not?¡±


    However, Jiang Zongheng replied with a rhetorical question, following Ding Ying¡¯s words, which made her stand there, stunned.


    ¡°Jiang Shidi, what do you mean?¡±


    If she did not know Jiang Zongheng¡¯s character well, Ding Ying might have thought he was bought off by Wang Juyuan.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Jiang Shidi. If I reach the position of Sect Leader one day, I will forever remember your words today.¡±


    Yet E Yun instantly understood Jiang Zongheng¡¯s intentions and solemnly saluted his junior brother, who was half his age.


    It was at this moment that he finally understood why, among the many who attended the lectures at the Longevity Academy, the Sect Leader uniquely chose Jiang Zongheng, and even took the unprecedented step of initiating the offer to take him as a disciple.


    ¡°What on earth is this riddle you¡¯re both playing at?¡±


    Ding Ying still did not understand and asked with a frown.


    ¡°We will act according to the rules of Northern Abyss City. If Han Zhiling cannot repay the Spirit Stones and has to compensate Wang Juyuan with the Foundation Building Pill, how do you think others will see it, Shimei?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ll say we are weak. The Chief of Changsheng School Palace, personally selected by the Sect Leader, is being driven to such a state by a small-time, kicked-out Ninth Layer Qi Cultivator to the extent that even a Foundation Building Pill granted personally by the Sect Leader can¡¯t be kept. It¡¯s a disgrace that Northern Abyss City was built by the Sect Leader himself¡­¡±


    Halfway through speaking, Ding Ying suddenly started to catch on, standing there with a look of contemplation in her eyes.


    After a long moment, she exhaled deeply and finally grasped Jiang Zongheng¡¯s meaning.


    ¡°After this matter, everyone will know that the rules of Northern Abyss City stand above all else!¡±


    ¡°Even for us, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of Divine Wood Sect, or the Chief personally selected by the Sect Leader, if we violate the rules, we must also abide by them obediently!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that Zhi Ling has become the example for proclaiming these stringent rules, and her reputation will follow her for a lifetime!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure if this child can withstand it!¡±


    As a Female Cultivator, Ding Ying couldn¡¯t help but feel some sympathy as she spoke those last words.

    ¡°Everything needs rules to restrain it in order to form order.¡±


    ¡°On this vast land of the Eastern Wilderness, what has been lacking is an overarching power that can establish rules and make everyone abide by them, which is why there have been so many years of war and death.¡±


    ¡°I entered my master¡¯s tutelage because I want to follow my master in establishing rules that every living being in the Eastern Wilderness must abide by!¡±


    ¡°For this, not to speak of a mere student like Han Zhiling, even if the one sacrificing is myself, I will proceed resolutely and without hesitation!¡±


    Jiang Zongheng, holding the Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler, spoke of his ideals with a calm expression.

 Chapter 1093 - Chapter 1093 Chapter 601 Dual Cultivation of Fire and Earth

    Chapter 1093: Chapter 601: Dual Cultivation of Fire and Earth, All-things Altruistic Cauldron Chapter 1093: Chapter 601: Dual Cultivation of Fire and Earth, All-things Altruistic Cauldron When Chen Mobai heard about this matter, he was first stunned, then he smiled slightly, his face showing a look of approval.


    ¡°Junior Brother is truly remarkable. If it were me dealing with this matter, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought of so much.¡±


    On the side, Zhuo Ming, after hearing what Zhou Bingyan had said, sincerely felt the gap between herself and Jiang Zongheng.


    It wasn¡¯t a difference in the talent for cultivation, but rather one of realm.


    Zhuo Ming felt she could never reach the level of Jiang Zongheng¡¯s thought realm in her lifetime.


    ¡°How did the selection of ores go?¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming, who immediately picked up the last piece of ore on the shelf that she didn¡¯t have.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, I have seen all the ores in Northern Abyss City. There are a total of 176 different kinds of ore, which are more than enough to refine the All-things Altruistic Cauldron.¡±


    Rock Country is indeed the place with the most mineral veins in the whole Eastern Wilderness. Before the master-apprentice pair arrived, Qi Rui had already been working on this.


    He had specially found a room for the ores collected in Northern Abyss City and made a shelf to put them on.


    When Zhuo Ming came in, there were already 137 different types of ores here.


    She used her Mother Earth Cultivation to check each piece of ore, selecting those that contained the right spiritual charm and which she did not have.


    ¡°The spirit vein of this Northern Abyss City is also of the Earth Attribute; since you have collected over a hundred types of ore here, it seems you are fated. Refine your Lifespan Artifact right here.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai said this, Zhuo Ming certainly had no objections.


    Hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Qi Rui immediately went to arrange the cave dwelling with the most abundant spirit vein at the very top of North Abyss Mountain.


    This was reserved for Chen Mobai, with the concentration of spiritual energy of Third Rank Superior Grade.


    To ensure Zhuo Ming could be in the optimal state, Chen Mobai also opened the core Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation of Northern Abyss City, letting E Yun hand over the Array Plate to Zhuo Ming, enabling her to commune with the ley lines of North Abyss Mountain in the shortest time.


    A month later, a confident Zhuo Ming informed Chen Mobai and requested his presence as a protector.


    However, as the foundation of the Earth Immortality Scripture, the difficulty of refining the All-things Altruistic Cauldron was completely beyond her expectations.


    Her Mother Earth Cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness is considered top-notch among the Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques. The spiritual power she refines is known as the ¡°Mother Qi of All Things,¡± which is key to her Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, possessing the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication.


    But this Mother Qi leans more towards the creation of life, and after all, it is only a technique that allows cultivation up to the Gold Core Stage, which cannot substitute the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture that enables Divinity Transformation.


    Thus, she exhausted most of her spiritual power, and even with the active support of Northern Abyss City¡¯s ley lines, she only managed to melt ten pieces of ore.


    Not to mention the complete form of the cauldron, she had only half of the cauldron¡¯s feet.


    And the refining of the All-things Altruistic Cauldron must be completed in one go.


    Zhuo Ming, sensing only thirty percent of the spiritual energy left in her Qi Sea, felt disheartened. She opened her eyes, about to give up this time and try again next time, when suddenly a figure accompanied by a rush of flame appeared behind her.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    With Chen Mobai in attendance, no ordinary person could enter, so Zhuo Ming immediately knew who the person behind her was.


    ¡°Release your Qi Sea, and I will use the Co-cultivation Method to stimulate your Earth spiritual power. That way, you don¡¯t have to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy and can just focus on refining the cauldron shape. Even if you fail, take it as accumulating experience, relax!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gentle words rang out behind Zhuo Ming, followed by a warm hand pressing on her back. It felt like a mountain supporting her, bringing an unprecedented sense of security that made her nod heavily!


    When she completely let go of her body, a spiritual power several times smoother than her own flowed into her, easily rotating according to the Five Elements generation cycle into a grand spiritual power that was vast and majestic for her.


    Chen Mobai had once consulted Elder Ming about the Dual-phase Rotation Technique to find out if the Foundation of the Primordial Dao Fruit of True Lord Yuan was this technique.


    But since True Lord Yuan was a powerful being capable of Ascendance, Elder Ming did not dare to speculate wildly about such an existence.


    However, she acknowledged Chen Mobai¡¯s guess, thinking that the foundation of the Primordial Dao Fruit might very well be this Dual-phase Rotation Technique.


    She also taught Chen Mobai another use of the Dual-phase Rotation Technique, the Practice Together Technique.


    The Longevity Sect advocates loving and helping each other. Therefore, under the cooperative cultivation of the five major Immortal Scriptures, the speed of cultivation is actually faster.


    This Dual-phase Rotation Co-cultivation Method is to choose two different attributes that can generate each other according to the Five Elements cycle and use one to assist the other in cultivation.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s fire attribute and Yin Qingmei¡¯s wood attribute.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After cultivating her, he could hang the Haotian Mirror in her hand, letting her use the wood attribute spiritual power to guide the rotation each day, making the mirror automatically gather Solar Essence to condense the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Similarly, Chen Mobai¡¯s fire attribute and Zhuo Ming¡¯s earth attribute could also use the Co-cultivation Method.


    Only this time, it meant that Chen Mobai would be the one assisting.


    But he did not share the belief inherent in the Eastern Wilderness that teachers must lead with dignity. Seeing Zhuo Ming running out of spiritual power while refining the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, he immediately thought of the Co-cultivation Method and lent a hand.


    With his vast spiritual power of the Golden Core Stage pouring into her, Zhuo Ming was freed from worries. One by one, she threw the ore into the earthen-yellow sphere of energy in front of her in the void, which held up half of the cauldron¡¯s foot.

 Chapter 1094 - Chapter 1094 Chapter 601 Cultivating Fire and Earth Together

    Chapter 1094: Chapter 601: Cultivating Fire and Earth Together, All-things Altruistic Cauldron_2 Chapter 1094: Chapter 601: Cultivating Fire and Earth Together, All-things Altruistic Cauldron_2 As time passed, the tripod¡¯s legs became whole, followed by the formation of the body and ears of the cauldron.


    Zhuo Ming, using her divine sense, shaped a square cauldron with four legs and two ears according to the patterns described in the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how much time had gone by, but he felt that sixty percent of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea had been depleted. Just as he considered whether to take out a top-grade Spirit Stone to replenish his energy, a profound and ancient voice resonated beside his ear.


    ¡°Master, a hundred ore stones have been refined!¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s astonished and delighted voice transmitted. If they stopped now, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron could take its complete form and become her Lifespan Artifact.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Refine the remaining ore stones as well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that trouble Master too much?¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°The energy consumed to refine this All-things Altruistic Cauldron is less than that of your master wielding the Purple Electric Sword for one practice session. Let¡¯s get this done all at once.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, ¡°Master is truly incredible!¡±


    What Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t know was that even with Chen Mobai¡¯s current realm, if he didn¡¯t hold back with the Purple Electric Sword, a single strike could drain all of his spiritual power.


    The deeper into the cauldron¡¯s refining process, the more difficult it became. Zhuo Ming felt that a hundred ore stones had already consumed ten times her total spiritual power, yet to her master, this expenditure of energy was as effortless as drinking tea and taking a walk.


    Without her master, she could never have managed to refine the All-things Altruistic Cauldron.


    It was only at this moment that Zhuo Ming realized just how fortunate she was.


    With reverence and gratitude for Chen Mobai in her heart, Zhuo Ming added the remaining seventy-six stones one by one.


    As each stone was subsumed into the energy orb before her chest, they shattered and melted into various shaped lines that branded themselves on the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, as if they were inscriptions or traces of the earth, emitting a mysterious and dim light.


    Chen Mobai quietly deployed his All Laws Persona, releasing the Pure Yang Spiritual Power stored within a certain vertebrae using the Returning Essence Secret Technique, and channeled it into his Dantian Qi Sea.


    He was quickly back in peak condition, helping Zhuo Ming to refine the ore with an easy expression on his face.


    In the end, when all one hundred and seventy-six ore stones were fully refined by the energy orb, the square cauldron with four legs and two ears shone with a serene, blue light.


    Once Zhuo Ming¡¯s divine sense projected the intention for it to take shape, the energy orb fully merged into the cauldron, transforming into two ancient and mysterious inscriptions.


    Then, the cauldron fell heavily to the ground.


    A profound and resonant sound of the cauldron, in an instant, echoed throughout Northern Abyss City.


    All cultivators unconsciously lifted their heads toward the highest peak within the city, sensing that the earth beneath them seemed to have awakened at that moment. From the mountaintop, the earth opened its eyes, watching over the creatures living on its body.


    As if under the gaze of an enormous expanse of sky, even Foundation Establishment Practitioners such as E Yun Jiang Zong Heng felt their own insignificance.


    ¡°Is it the Sect Leader?¡±


    In the perception of cultivators from the Eastern Wasteland, only Golden Core Cultivators could instill such a terrifying sense of awe in them.


    But what they didn¡¯t realize was that even Chen Mobai had fallen into a deep meditative trance from the sound of the cauldron¡¯s chime.


    Although the All-things Altruistic Cauldron was Zhuo Ming¡¯s Lifespan Artifact, it was formed mostly through the fusion of his Spiritual Power. Thus, at the moment the cauldron was completed, Chen Mobai found that he had also established a connection with the cauldron similar to that of a Lifespan Artifact.


    And at the instant when the cauldron was completed, this Magic Artifact, which hadn¡¯t appeared in the Tianhe Realm for countless years, merged with the Spirit Vein of Northern Abyss City through the master Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities.


    The All-things Altruistic Cauldron instinctively activated its ability and began refining and extracting the Qi of Creation contained within the mountain range.


    This was not the ordinary earth qi that Spirit Plants usually draw from, but the core essence of the earth, the source of all living things¡¯ vitality.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation of the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique involved slowly absorbing these essences, condensing the Mother Qi of All Things.


    Yet, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, at the moment of its formation, opened a pathway to the very core of the North Abyss Mountain Spirit Vein, refining a strand of earth essence and Qi of Creation that had been hidden for untold years.


    After that, in line with the effort put into the refinement of the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, ten percent was given to Zhuo Ming, and ninety percent to Chen Mobai!


    This strand of Qi of Creation was also a kind of high-level Spiritual Energy but was purer and more mystical than any Chen Mobai had ever seen. As it integrated into his body, he felt his internal organs become more active, and it seemed that parts of his Spiritual Root were continuously improving.


    However, it wasn¡¯t convenient to use Spirit-Testing Instruments at the moment, so Chen Mobai could only slowly circulate the Pure Yang Scroll Cultivation Technique. While helping his body refine this strand of Qi of Creation, he also began to stimulate the All Laws Persona.


    After all, he hadn¡¯t encountered this Qi of Creation before, and it was sent into his body by the All-things Altruistic Cauldron without any precautions. But now, for the sake of caution, he was thinking of expelling it and refining it into the All Laws Persona.


    However, when he was about to expel the Qi of Creation, he suddenly discovered something.


    The Pure Yang Spiritual Power that he had depleted while melting ores had started to recover quickly. With a thought, he used his Divine Sense and saw the reason.


    It turned out that the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, while refining the Spirit Vein of North Abyss Mountain, had condensed the purest Spiritual Energy and sent it into his body, seemingly in reciprocation for his earlier efforts in refining the cauldron.


    Spiritual Energy was definitely harmless, so Chen Mobai did not block it and immediately refined it with his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes, revealing a flicker of clear and shining Spiritual Light. He slowly stood up, sensing the overflowing Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea that was on the verge of a breakthrough, and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of joy on his face.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the bottleneck holding him back, and if Northern Abyss City had been a more suitable place, he might have already reached the third layer of the Gold Core.


    He hadn¡¯t expected the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to be so remarkably effective; no wonder Elder Ming said that the cauldron of the True Monarch Benevolence was one of the three Supreme Treasures of the Longevity Sect in the past.


    He just didn¡¯t know what this Qi of Creation was.


    When he returned to the Immortal Gate, he would have to look it up.


    Chen Mobai turned to look for his beloved disciple but found her lying inside the All-things Altruistic Cauldron with her eyes tightly closed, her whole body radiating crystal-clear jade light as if she were undergoing a transformation.

    ¡°Is the cauldron helping her refine the Qi of Creation?¡±


    Chen Mobai walked over, looked, and understood what was happening.


    Then he remembered something, took out the Soul Nourishing Wood from his Storage Bag, and asked Elder Ming about it.


    ¡°This Qi of Creation, in another sense, is known as the Innate Earth Essence Qi!¡±


    Indeed, as a senior of the Longevity Sect, Elder Ming did not disappoint Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 1095 - Chapter 1095 Chapter 602 Authority and Virtue Are Equally

    Chapter 1095: Chapter 602: Authority and Virtue Are Equally Important (Extra for 7200 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1095: Chapter 602: Authority and Virtue Are Equally Important (Extra for 7200 Monthly Votes) Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a look of joy upon hearing Elder Ming¡¯s words.


    He had been wondering how to ask the Immortal Gate for help, to get a stream of Innate Earth Essence Qi for Zhuo Ming before her Ninefold Law Body was fully developed. He hadn¡¯t expected the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to resolve this so easily now.


    It was indeed the fledgling form of the Longevity Sect¡¯s Supreme Treasure, showing such mighty power just after being refined.


    ¡°Strange, in the past, even if someone in the sect managed to refine the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, they had to condense the Magic Artifact to rank-4 before they could capture the Qi of Creation¡­¡±


    At this moment, Elder Ming revealed something to Chen Mobai that differed from her own knowledge.


    The Qi of Creation was precious, having settled deep within the vast earth for who knows how many years. If it were condensed with Spiritual Power during Core Formation to refine Earth True Qi, it could yield Innate wonders and mysterious transformations.


    Thus, in ancient times, the surface-level Innate Qi was mostly mined and refined by cultivators.


    By the time it came to Elder Ming¡¯s era, the Qi of Creation had become exceedingly rare. Cultivators of the Longevity Sect who practiced Earth cultivation techniques, even with the aid of the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, might spend years searching without necessarily finding a single strand to refine.


    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s just my disciple¡¯s good fortune.¡±


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment before saying this.


    Elder Ming nodded in agreement upon hearing this.


    It was indeed very fortunate for the Beiyuan Mountain to have a strand of the Qi of Creation.


    As time passed, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron continuously condensed the purest Spiritual Energy of Beiyuan Mountain and poured it into Zhuo Ming¡¯s body. The radiant light on her body gradually began to fade, indicating that she was refining all of the Qi of Creation.


    ¡°Thank you, Master, for your protection!¡±


    Finally, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes. She flew out of the cauldron and respectfully bowed to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°How do you feel? Is there anything abnormal?¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming to extend her hand so he could take her pulse, then had her transfer a stream of Spiritual Power to him.


    [Gold 3, Wood 22, Water 23, Fire 9, Earth 60].


    Compared to the last time she consumed the Immortal Peach Fruit, Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Spirit Root had increased by another 8 points!


    The Qi of Creation was truly mysterious. Chen Mobai had consumed many treasures that increased Spiritual Roots in the Eastern Wilderness, but this was the first time he encountered such a significant improvement.


    It was uncertain whether subsequent refinements of the Qi of Creation would yield such remarkable increases.


    ¡°Master, it seems that my Mother Earth Cultivation has reached perfection!¡±


    Zhuo Ming sensed her Earth Spiritual Power and said with a mix of hesitation and disbelief, uttering a statement that shocked Chen Mobai greatly.


    Then, under his astonished gaze, Zhuo Ming held out her hands, and a black stream of air with a faint glow emerged in her palm.


    This dark glow seemed to carry the life force that nourished all things, and when it gently fell upon the earth, tender green shoots instantly broke through the soil.


    In just a few breaths, Chen Mobai watched the previously barren summit of Beiyuan Mountain, due to property development, become covered in green grass, accompanied by blossoming flowers, brilliant in gold, red, white, and purple¨Call sorts of colors.


    This was the sign of reaching the highest realm in the Mother Earth Cultivation, the complete condensation of the Mother Qi of All Things.


    And this level of success with the Mother Qi of All Things was equivalent to the Longevity True Qi.


    Theoretically, only when Zhuo Ming reached Perfect Core Formation, merging the essence of countless Spirit Soils, could she achieve such success.


    But today, with the aid of the All-things Altruistic Cauldron refining that strand of Qi of Creation, she had soared to the heavens and reached the complete mastery of the Mother Qi of All Things in one fell swoop.


    With this step, Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Earth Cultivation could be considered complete. As this technique was relatively simple, consisting only of enhancing the Mother Qi of All Things and breaking through realms,


    it might be the breakthrough of realms that cultivators find the most challenging.


    However, for Chen Mobai, this was the best outcome.


    He had long planned the path for Zhuo Ming¡¯s breakthrough.


    And with the mastery of the Mother Qi of All Things, it held a kind of magic similar to the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. With this, once back at Giant Tree Ridge, the Rank-3 Spirit Rice would certainly be researchable.


    ¡°Hahaha, very good, very good!¡±


    Chen Mobai was becoming more and more satisfied with Zhuo Ming and laughed heartily, instructing her to incorporate the All-things Altruistic Cauldron into her body.


    ¡°Master, this cauldron owes much to you; without you, I certainly couldn¡¯t have refined it.¡±


    Zhuo Ming happily integrated the cauldron back into her body, once again thanking Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Try to control this cauldron and then apply the All Things Spiritual Communication Divine Skills, and see if you can enhance the All-things Altruistic Cauldron with it.¡±


    Chen Mobai suspected that the newly refined All-things Altruistic Cauldron was able to capture the Qi of Creation perhaps because of Zhuo Ming¡¯s possession of All Things Spiritual Communication.

    This Divine Skill she gained from Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment enabled her to become one with the earth, communicating with all things.


    If the All-things Altruistic Cauldron could also make use of Zhuo Ming¡¯s Divine Skill, then the vast earth would basically be open and unguarded.


    Elder Ming had said that the soil disciples of the Longevity Sect searching for Qi of Creation had to spend a tremendous effort to ascertain its presence within a mountain range.


    After all, the Qi of Creation on the surface had long been mined out by ancient cultivators, and what was left was mostly buried in the deepest parts of the earth, regions even Nascent Soul Cultivators could not reach with their Divine Sense.


    The Longevity Sect had even employed High-Order Earth Masters to find it with geomancy, but even they could not be one hundred percent sure, and often when High-Order Cultivators followed the Earth Master¡¯s directions and used the Earth Escape Technique to delve thousands of meters deep, they would frequently come back empty-handed.

 Chapter 1096 - Chapter 1096 Chapter 602 Authority and Virtue Are Equally

    Chapter 1096: Chapter 602: Authority and Virtue Are Equally Important (Extra for 7200 Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 1096: Chapter 602: Authority and Virtue Are Equally Important (Extra for 7200 Monthly Votes)_2 Only by raising the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to Rank-4 could the owner of the Magic Artifact, who would be either at the stage of Perfect Core Formation or the Nascent Soul Realm, harness the Earth True Qi. Due to its close resemblance to the Qi of Creation, the cauldron could use True Qi as a template to sense if the Qi of Creation was nearby and alert its master.


    ¡°Master, it seems to work!¡±


    Zhuo Ming closed her eyes and tried, and sure enough, while wielding the All-things Altruistic Cauldron as her Lifespan Artifact, she could also use the Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities.


    ¡°That makes sense now!¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities allowed her to Commune Spirit directly with the earth veins, knowing everything about the land she set foot on. Before melting down the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, she had completed this step as well.


    The trace of Qi of Creation contained deep within the earth veins of Northern Abyss City had been discovered, captured, and utilized in the instant the cauldron was formed.


    It was like gambling with a Void Blind Box and having x-ray vision.


    If Zhuo Ming was willing to take the trouble to traverse every piece of land in the Eastern Wilderness and Commune Spirit with each earth vein, she could extract all the Qi of Creation with the All-things Altruistic Cauldron.


    What was the most challenging step for other Cultivators was as simple as picking something up from home for Zhuo Ming, as all doors were open to her.


    Chen Mobai told Zhuo Ming that, because he had a part in it, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron should be considered their common Lifespan Artifact, belonging to both master and disciple.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t mind at all. To her, everything she had was granted by Chen Mobai, and even if the Master took it all away, she would find it natural.


    ¡°In the future, I¡¯ll help you refine another Lifespan Artifact. Think about what you need,¡± Chen Mobai said, and Zhuo Ming, who wouldn¡¯t mind having more, immediately nodded happily.


    As the master and his disciple were preparing to descend the mountain, they found that the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect in Northern Abyss City had mostly gathered midway up the mountain, waiting for them.


    Clearly, the commotion caused by refining the Qi of Creation with the All-things Altruistic Cauldron had alarmed everyone, and despite their confidence in Chen Mobai, they had all come.


    After the group returned to the grand hall of Northern Abyss City, E Yun took the initiative to report the situation with Wang Juyuan and Han Zhiling to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Hmm, how do you plan to deal with this matter?¡± Chen Mobai asked, and the response came from Jiang Zongheng, who stepped forward with his viewpoint, suggesting that this was a good opportunity to establish some rules.


    ¡°Zong Heng, I am very pleased that you have such aspirations; this deserves commendation. I hope you maintain such steadfastness. But you haven¡¯t considered all the angles. Have you thought about another possible outcome that this situation might lead to?¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Jiang Zong Heng shook his head and then asked Chen Mobai for guidance.


    ¡°Rules, no matter how strictly conceived, will have loopholes, and sometimes there are even conflicts between rules. The world is never short of cunning people. If we handle everything strictly by the rules, and someone finds a loophole in our Sect¡¯s rules to seek resources beyond the Foundation Building Pill, how should we respond?¡± Chen Mobai inquired.


    ¡°If we are to uphold integrity and honesty, we should endure this time, give them the resources, and then immediately fix the loophole.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded after hearing this, then shook his head, agreeing with Jiang Zong Heng¡¯s viewpoint but not his suggested approach.


    ¡°Rules must not become shackles that bind us!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a saying, ¡®A gentleman can be deceived with integrity.¡¯ If everything is handled strictly according to the rules, then there will be many who seek to exploit the loopholes in the Sect¡¯s rules.¡±


    ¡°These are the actions of petty people, and to prevent such incidents while establishing rules, we must remember another saying, ¡®Petty people are deterred by might, not by virtue.''¡±


    ¡°So, while rules are necessary, and Han Tingfeng¡¯s debt must be repaid, we cannot allow Wang Juyuan¡¯s objectives to succeed.¡±


    ¡°Only by balancing might and virtue can there be a greater good under heaven.¡±


    ¡°And this might must come before virtue!¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Jiang Zong Heng fell into thought.


    Chen Mobai valued this disciple; it was rare to find someone with such noble thoughts in the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, due to his environment, Jiang Zong Heng¡¯s thinking was still naive, with a feeling that he was straying off-course even as he came to his own understanding.


    This was primarily because of Chen Mobai. Although he had planted the seeds of thought since accepting the disciple, the two had rarely met, lacking proper guidance.


    ¡°Thank you for your instruction, Master!¡±


    After receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Jiang Zongheng realized how naive he had been while simultaneously becoming aware of the immense gap between his own understanding and that of his master¡¯s, which filled him with even greater respect.


    ¡°E Yun, do as I said and take care of this matter, and be a bit flexible in your methods,¡±


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s words, E Yun, who had been deeply engrossed in contemplation, immediately snapped to attention. He respectfully bowed and then retreated.


    The next day, Wang Juyuan and his sister Han Zhiling were called over.


    Han Ronglu mortgaged his Rank-3 Cave Dwelling and took out a loan of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones from the Divine Wood Sect, then he settled the debts of Wang Juyuan and others on the spot.


    Wang Juyuan didn¡¯t actually want the Spirit Stones, but the contract he had signed with Han Tingfeng indicated payment in Spirit Stones.


    Under E Yun¡¯s cold stare, all Wang Juyuan could do was somberly take the Spirit Stones and leave, his hopes dashed.


    He had put everything on the line for Foundation Establishment, but it all turned out to be an empty dream.


    He even offended the Divine Wood Sect and was expelled from his family.


    The next day, his Liu Dan Pavilion was visited by many people.


    They were the suppliers he owed for medicinal materials; they had tolerated the debt before because of the Wang family¡¯s face.


    After he failed to take the Foundation Building Pill through proper channels, everyone knew he had offended the Divine Wood Sect.


    And now the Wang family had also publicly disowned him.


    ¡°Please give me a few more days¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmph, the date on the contract has already been overdue by a month. We need to act according to the rules; if you don¡¯t pay up today, come with me to the Divine Wood Sect and pay off the debt with your shop¡¯s deposit.¡±


    Justice is clear, retribution is certain.


    Even if he used all the Spirit Stones he received from the Han family to pay off the debt, Wang Juyuan was still short by three thousand Spirit Stones.


    He tried to borrow money, but all his former friends shut their doors to him.


    In the end, unable to produce enough Spirit Stones, E Yun coldly repossessed the shop, and both of his Cave Dwellings were taken away for auction.


    But that still wasn¡¯t enough to cover his debts, and according to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s rules, he was detained to work in the mines.


    As the scion of a distinguished family, Wang Juyuan couldn¡¯t bear the thought of mining; therefore, on a dark and windy night, he escaped from Northern Abyss City.


    When he returned to his clan, he was stopped right at the entrance to their territory.


    With an angry expression, the clan leader told Wang Juyuan that many of the family¡¯s businesses had been affected by his actions, and the hard-earned channel they had established with the Divine Wood Sect had been snatched away by the Hua family.


    Wang Juyuan wanted to see his parents, but the clan leader immediately expelled him from the clan¡¯s property.


    Having no place to go, he had just left the family estate and was standing by a lake, pondering his future.


    Just as he was about to head to the Nanxuan Sect, a beam of Spiritual Light descended from the sky.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Only Foundation Establishment Practitioners could fly.


    The newcomer was someone he knew very well¨CWang Xuan Ming, the patriarch of the Wang family.


    ¡°Greeting the elder¡­¡±


    Just as Wang Juyuan was wondering if the patriarch had any tasks for him, a burst of Sword Light flared, filling his vision.


    Within the flash of blood, his head had been severed by a Flying Sword.

 Chapter 1097 - Chapter 1097 Chapter 603 Sand Control (Additional Chapter for

    Chapter 1097: Chapter 603: Sand Control (Additional Chapter for 8000 monthly votes) Chapter 1097: Chapter 603: Sand Control (Additional Chapter for 8000 monthly votes) ¡°In the coming years, you will start by sowing the Spirit Grass with the most tenacious vitality on The Barren, first to stabilize the soil and water, and to restore soil fertility.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s command was naturally met with unconditional obedience and implementation from E Yun¡¯s side.


    The recovery of the Eastern Desolation Plateau wasn¡¯t something that could be achieved overnight. Chen Mobai chose a plant known as Qingluo Grass for the initial preparations.


    This Spirit Grass could only absorb a trace of weak Spiritual Energy, and was considered Lower-grade Rank-1; for Cultivators, this thing was utterly useless, not even worth trampling on by the roadside.


    However, Chen Mobai indeed saw the great potential of this Qingluo Grass.


    It was capable of preserving soil and water, required minimal environmental conditions, and after being sown, it could grow rapidly in three cycles a year. Moreover, because it contained Spiritual Energy, once grown, it could become feed for many Spirit Beasts.


    If left unharvested to decay, it could even improve the soil, so that after a few years, the land that was once barren and infertile could be used to grow Spirit Rice Melon Fruit and the like.


    Of course, in addition to Qingluo Grass, Chen Mobai also selectively cultivated several other Spirit Plants that were easy to raise.


    He had E Yun sow them in stages across the Eastern Desolation Plateau to establish diversity.


    Once these Spirit Plants were sowed, they could grow rapidly as long as there was soil and water available.


    However, a lack of water was also a major issue on the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Because it was separated from Sky Country, the project of diverting water from Yun Meng Ze to irrigate Rock Country was too large, so for the time being, they could only have E Yun hire Cultivators from Northern Abyss City with Spirit Stones to regularly carry out the Rainfall Technique over each plot of land where seeds had been sown.


    Of course, these were only temporary solutions.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming use the All Things Spiritual Communication Divine Skills to find some places rich in underground water resources, and then he used his powerful techniques to open up the strata, causing these water sources to emerge.


    Besides these, there was another abundant source of water.


    That was the high mountains and snow mountains in Frost Country that towered into the clouds, endless and constant, shrouded in a vast expanse of fog all year round, regardless of spring, summer, fall or winter.


    The melted snow from these snow mountains flowed down to form beautiful, sapphire-like gigantic lakes on the surface of Frost Country, extremely rich in water resources.


    Frost Country bordered Rock Country and Rainbow Country closely. If it could be taken down, with the active intervention of Cultivators, they could divert the Snow Mountain Water to irrigate the plateau and desert, solving the water problem.


    However, since Zhuo Ming discovered many underground water resources and the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau was just at the beginning stage, the current water demand was temporarily adequate, and Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry.


    But dealing with the Snow-blowing Palace had quietly moved up a notch in Chen Mobai¡¯s list of priorities.


    After sorting things out in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai took Jiang Zongheng and Zhuo Ming with him and left.


    Originally, he only planned to bring Zhuo Ming, to go around the Eastern Desolation Plateau and check the future site of her merits.


    However, after the incident with Han Zhiling, he found that his disciple Jiang Zongheng was still at the stage of forming his initial beliefs and needed proper guidance, so he simply took him along as well.


    To read ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles.


    He took Jiang Zongheng and Zhuo Ming out of Rock Country and first went to the borderlands, to where Rainbow Country was located.


    ¡°Jiang Shidi, Zhuo Shimei, this is Spirit Shuttle Grass, resilient to drought and cold, with well-developed roots, and it¡¯s also one of the few Spirit Plants that can grow in the desert.¡±


    Town Guard Yan Yuanhao introduced to Jiang Zongheng and Zhuo Ming a plant that was knee-high, with a deep yellow color, and tough slender features.


    When Chen Mobai first came to inspect Rainbow Country, although he didn¡¯t initiate an overall strategy to combat desertification, he instructed Yan Yuanhao to find some Spirit Plants that could grow in the desert to plant along the border with the Boundless Sand Sea, forming a protective barrier to prevent further incursion of the sand sea.


    Yan Yuanhao had only received this task from Chen Mobai for the past few years, so he devoted himself entirely to building the desert defense line.


    Six years later, relying on the perseverance and resilience of a Body Refining Cultivator, he had constructed the defense line in the region with the densest population, and in about four more years, it would be possible to completely separate Rainbow Country from the Boundless Sand Sea.


    The last time Chen Mobai came to Rainbow Country, he often encountered sandstorms that covered the sky. Although they still occurred now, it was no longer the kind of situation where one couldn¡¯t see their own hands in front of them, and where breathing meant inhaling dust.


    ¡°For accomplishing this task, you already have great merits,¡± said Chen Mobai


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect that the matter he casually instructed six years ago had been taken by Yan Yuanhao as a task to be executed nonstop.


    ¡°It is my duty to fulfill the Sect Leader¡¯s command,¡± said Yan Yuanhao with an even tone, his skin tanned to a dark bronze.


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai remembered him.


    With such a tenacious character, the young man could be cultivated with focus in the future.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to take Zong Heng and Ming¡¯er to take a look at the Boundless Sand Sea; you come along as well,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    With that said, a trace of joy appeared on Yan Yuanhao¡¯s face, and he immediately hopped onto the rainbow-colored clouds.


    The party of four flew over the Spirit Shuttle Grass defense barrier and entered into a vast world of earthy yellow desolation.


    Jiang Zongheng was doing alright; after all, he taught in Rock Country, and a fair number of Cultivators from Rainbow Country visited Northern Abyss City to exchange goods, so the winds and sands here could occasionally drift over there.


    But Zhuo Ming, who had grown up in the inland plains, had never seen such a desolate and silent expanse as the Boundless Desert.


    At this moment, a massive sandstorm blew over, and Chen Mobai halted his flight, transforming the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± into a light shield, effortlessly enduring wave after wave with his formidable power.


    It was unclear how long the sky remained darkened by the storm, but when the sandstorm subsided, Zhuo Ming saw the countless whitened bones revealed beneath the swept sands, and her complexion turned somewhat unnatural.


    ¡°This is the state of the Boundless Sand Sea. Ming¡¯er, you can consider this challenge as one for a lifetime,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    After having his disciple witness the task firsthand, Chen Mobai activated the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to change direction, ready to leave.


    ¡°Master, may I go down and touch the ground?¡± Zhuo Ming suddenly asked.


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed and descended with the three of them onto the sandy surface.


    Jiang Zongheng and Yan Yuanhao weren¡¯t particularly affected, but Zhuo Ming shuddered the moment her feet touched the sand.


    With trembling hands, she bent down and pressed them onto the sand, which under the sunlight, shimmered with a golden luster as fine as pearls. However, through All Things Spiritual Communication, Zhuo Ming saw a vision of darkness, desolation, and deathly silence, and¡­ the crying earth!


    It was a terminal illness of the land!


    If not managed properly, in the near future, this Boundless Sand Sea would swallow the entire Eastern Desolation, East Land, and even the Tianhe Realm.


    By then, it would truly be a terminal crisis, the end of the Dharma.


    Separated by the desert¡¯s isolation, Zhuo Ming¡¯s ability to commune with the land was extremely difficult, barely able to hear the faint cries of the ground¡¯s pulse and the hopeless groans of an entity waiting to die¡­


    ¡°Master, I must heal this desert,¡± Zhuo Ming declared, her face pale as she severed the connection with All Things Spiritual Communication. Having this divine skill for so many years, it was the first time she had felt the earth¡¯s despair.


    It was also at this moment that she truly understood the painstaking intentions behind Chen Mobai¡¯s efforts to combat desertification.


    It was not just for merit but to save the entire Eastern Desolation, and even the Tianhe Realm!


    ¡°This will be a very challenging task, and we might even fail,¡± Chen Mobai cautioned. The vastness of the Boundless Sand Sea was such that even Nascent Soul Cultivators could not cross it. If Zhuo Ming wished to make the desert disappear, the difficulty was several orders higher than his own endeavor to unify the Eastern Desolation.


    ¡°If I cannot do it, I will take disciples to carry on this will. My disciples will also take on disciples. Generation after generation, as long as we never give up, there will be a successful day,¡± Zhuo Ming said with a resolute face. Upon hearing her words, Yan Yuanhao and Jiang Zongheng were deeply moved, sensing the vast determination to change the world in her statement.


    Talent looked at the petite girl, dressed very simply like a village girl, as if seeing Zhuo Ming for the first time. His eyes were full of amazement.


    No wonder she was the Sect Leader¡¯s most beloved disciple!


    ¡°To continue through endless generations requires a peaceful era free from enemies¡¯ interference. Let me do this, creating a peaceful world for my disciple Ming¡¯er to fulfill the mission of healing the sands,¡± Chen Mobai said with a hearty laugh, his words radiating an ambition far surpassing Zhuo Ming¡¯s.


    Jiang Zongheng and Yan Yuanhao, upon hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but feel their blood boil with inspiration.


    Multicolored clouds rose from beneath Chen Mobai¡¯s feet as he laughed, carrying them away from the Boundless Sand Sea.


    ¡°Yan Shizhi, you¡¯ve done well these years. Continue in the same way. After the defense belts, try expanding into shelterbelts and experimenting with taller Spirit Plants that are resistant to cold and drought¡­¡±


    Before leaving the Rainbow Country, Chen Mobai affirmed Yan Yuanhao¡¯s achievements and then gave some sand control guidelines for him to persist with.


    Containing the encroachment of the Boundless Sand Sea for the time being meant that without the threat of sandstorms, the restoration of soil in the Gao Huang Plateau no longer had worries to contend with.


    In the end, Chen Mobai even took the initiative to ask Yan Yuanhao if he had any cultivation questions. Although he wasn¡¯t a Body Refining Cultivator, he was, after all, at Core Formation and might be able to offer some answers.


    This was a pleasant surprise for Yan Yuanhao.


    Caught off guard, he pondered for a moment before recalling the difficulties he faced in his usual cultivation.


    Cultivating an Earth Spiritual Body, Chen Mobai used the Formless Puppet to simulate and effortlessly resolved Yan Yuanhao¡¯s issues, even pointing out the deviations in his cultivation practices.


    ¡°You veered off the foundational path, but it¡¯s not your fault. After all, most Foundation Establishment practitioners in our Sect rely on self-enlightenment through cultivation techniques.¡±


    In the Eastern Desolation, most cultivators must learn on their own, and those who fail to do so perish along the way.

    Thus, disciples like Zhuo Ming and Jiang Zongheng, who had the fortune to study under the esteemed Chen Mobai, were the envy of many Foundation Establishment practitioners within the Divine Wood Sect.


    After receiving guidance from Chen Mobai, Yan Yuanhao tried operating his Earth Spiritual Body¡¯s cultivation process again and found it indeed smoother than before, with his efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy increasing by thirty percent.


    ¡°In ten years, you¡¯ll be able to break through to the late phase of Foundation Establishment,¡± Chen Mobai said in his final remark, leaving Yan Yuanhao thrilled. He had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment middle stage for thirty years and had almost lost hope in advancing, hence dedicating his energy and time to sand control.


    Unexpectedly, it was this task that brought him to the Sect Leader¡¯s attention.


    In the future, he resolved to work even harder on controlling the sands!

 Chapter 1098 - Chapter 1098 Chapter 604 Demonic Beast Tide

    Chapter 1098: Chapter 604 Demonic Beast Tide Chapter 1098: Chapter 604 Demonic Beast Tide After advising Yan Yuanhao, Chen Mobai had originally planned to take Jiang Zongheng and Zhuo Ming for a visit to Sky Country.


    Who would have thought that just after leaving the Boundless Desert, they encountered Yu Lian waiting in Rainbow Country?


    ¡°A demonic beast outbreak has occurred in Cloud Dream Marsh. Wind Rain Hamlet is besieged by four Rank-3 Demonic Beasts, and True Person Nu Jiang has sent a letter requesting assistance to the Sect¡­¡±


    While Chen Mobai was previously in Rock Country, the Sect had already sent someone to Northern Abyss City, where E Yun immediately dispatched Yu Lian upon learning of the severity of the monster outbreak.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had not concealed his itinerary, so Yu Lian was able to quickly trace their path and find them in Rainbow Country.


    Knowing that they had entered the Boundless Desert, Yu Lian did not dare to venture in and waited at the place where they had gone in.


    Upon hearing the news, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flashed with a series of plans, contemplating whether he could take advantage of this monster tide to draw the elite cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley into the midst of Yun Meng Ze.


    Outwardly, however, he began to command the various departments of the Sect in an orderly fashion.


    ¡°Inform the Sect to have Xie Yuntian and Ma Wuniang lead the Sword Training Department and Spirit Beast Department to immediately go to Cloud Dream Marsh for support. In the Sect, also initiate conscription tasks, allowing disciples willing to go to Cloud Dream Marsh to register.¡±


    ¡°Order Rain Country, Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Sky Country to guard their territories and conscript cultivator families and Loose Cultivators within their domains to establish a defense line on the shore, not to let any Demonic Beast set foot on land.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, for Golden Cliff, I hope Brother Mo is not in seclusion. Please ask him to take action.¡±


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you return to the Sect. Zong Heng, you go back to the Scholarly Mansion. I must personally go to Cloud Dream Marsh to assist True Person Nu Jiang in stabilizing the situation there,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    But as soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, both Jiang Zongheng and Zhuo Ming shook their heads in disagreement.


    They both insisted on accompanying Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Master, if I am always protected by you, how will I ever manage to accomplish the great task of managing the Boundless Desert?¡±


    Having been brought out on a journey, Zhuo Ming¡¯s horizon and aspirations had broadened significantly, resulting in some personal opinions.


    Jiang Zongheng felt the same, unafraid of battle and seeing it as a good opportunity to temper himself and validate his own thoughts.


    Chen Mobai was very pleased with this.


    After all, he personally led the group, and with his protection, his two disciples were unlikely to face excessive danger.


    Without further delay, the teacher and disciples immediately took the Teleportation Array towards Rock Country, where Chen Mobai began mobilizing troops and issuing commands.


    In addition to his two disciples, Yu Lian and Qi Rui volunteered proactively. E Yun would have liked to join Chen Mobai in the campaign as well if he weren¡¯t needed to keep watch over Northern Abyss City.


    Also keen were Ding Ying and Lian Maozhi from the Longevity Academy.


    Chen Mobai had not anticipated that the members of the Divine Wood Sect would have such a strong desire for battle.


    It wasn¡¯t until he was saying farewell over drinks with E Yun that the latter explained why every Foundation Establishment Practitioner was so bellicose.


    They all knew about the appearance of Rank-3 Monster Beasts and had absolute confidence in Chen Mobai, so they wondered if they could earn merits on the battlefield to catch the attention of the Sect Leader, perhaps earning a Rank-3 Inner Pill in the process.


    The news about Chen Mobai trading with Star Heaven Dao Sect for the Heterodox Golden Core Technique had already spread throughout the entire Sect in earlier years.


    Since it concerned Core Formation and was possibly a shortcut, many Foundation Establishment Practitioners took great interest upon hearing it.


    Even Meng Hong had approached Chen Mobai with the two fish he had caught to inquire about this matter.


    To this former Sect Leader who had shown him kindness, Chen Mobai naturally did not conceal anything, directly imparting the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and Gold Core Transposition Technique to him.


    Alas, Rank-3 Monster Beast Inner Pills are far too precious.


    So upon hearing about the siege on Wind Rain Hamlet by Rank-3 Demonic Beasts and learning that Sect Leader Chen Mobai intended to personally lead the campaign, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners knowledgeable in the Heterodox Golden Core Technique applied for battle.


    When Chen Mobai left Rock Country, he was accompanied by Jiang Zongheng, Zhuo Ming, Qi Rui, Yu Lian, and Ding Ying¨Cfive Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    Since it was unclear how long the war with the Monster Beasts would last and the Longevity Academy needed someone to hold the fort, Chen Mobai asked Lian Maozhi to stay behind.


    However, considering his eagerness for battle, Chen Mobai promised that he would have Jiang Zongheng return in a year¡¯s time so Lian Maozhi could take his turn in Cloud Dream Marsh.


    In addition to the five Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Divine Wood Sect, Tan Rong from the Iron Blue Market, upon hearing the news from Ding Ying, expressed that as a disciple of the Fire Vein and Five Elements Sect, she had an even greater duty to help Wind Rain Hamlet and requested to join the expedition to Cloud Dream Marsh.


    After hearing this from Ding Ying, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, recognizing her as a worthy Foundation Establishment combatant.


    Besides Tan Rong, there were two cultivator families from Rock Country that accepted the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s conscription and were willing to lead their family cultivators to follow Chen Mobai to Cloud Dream Marsh. Among them was Wang Xuan Ming of the Wang family.


    Because of Wang Juyuan¡¯s affair, the Wang family had greatly offended Divine Wood Sect, and Rock Country¡¯s cultivator families, usually both friends and foes, seized the opportunity to suppress and appropriate many of their businesses.


    E Yun naturally watched with indifference, and if not for Wang Xuan Ming bringing Wang Juyuan¡¯s head to apologize earlier, he would not even have considered renting store space in Northern Abyss City to the Wang family the following year.


    Wang Juyuan¡¯s head was not enough!


    So, when Wang Xuan Ming heard about the demonic beast siege on Wind Rain Hamlet, he gritted his teeth and, after making arrangements for his affairs with another young Foundation Establishment member of his family, led a group of older cultivators from his family to join the Divine Wood Sect in the fight against the demonic beasts.


    As a result, E Yun¡¯s attitude truly changed. After Wang Xuan Ming arrived with the cultivators from his family, he announced that the Wang family would henceforth be a close comrade-in-arms to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Besides the Wang family, there was also an old ancestor from the Wu family. Although he was approaching the end of his life, there was no second Foundation Establishment practitioner in his family, so he wanted to die in battle against the demonic beasts in Cloud Dream Marsh, in order to obtain a Foundation Building Pill as compensation for his descendants.


    The transportation of the Qi Practitioners and the recruitment of the various loose cultivators were then handled by E Yun.


    Chen Mobai had already taken eight Foundation Establishment Practitioners with him to the neighboring Sky Country using the teleportation array. Here, King Zhou had prepared a force of five hundred Qi Cultivators to guard the shorelines, ensuring the demonic beasts did not come ashore to invade.


    Among this force, the majority were from the local immortal cultivation families of Sky Country, as they would be the ones to suffer the most should the demonic beasts invade their lands.


    Therefore, faced with such a situation, they responded swiftly. Even five Foundation Establishment Practitioners personally came over to help King Zhou guard the shore.


    At this location, Chen Mobai took with him Zhou Bingyan and a Foundation Establishment practitioner named Zhou Zhenhong, both from the Zhou family of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The reason for this was that the family¡¯s Foundation Establishment cultivators often dealt with demonic beasts, valued their lives dearly, and were not very willing to go to Cloud Dream Marsh. King Zhou had no choice but to send out his own capable helpers.


    Chen Mobai did not linger in Sky Country. After the group increased by two people, they directly used the teleportation array to travel to an island market near the mainland in Cloud Dream Marsh.


    Because Wind Rain Hamlet was situated at the center of Cloud Dream Marsh, it required transferring through three teleportation arrays to enter directly.


    The influence of the demonic beast tide had already reached here.


    In Iron Blue Market, the large formation¡¯s luminance flickered as dense flocks of Black Plague Birds familiar to Chen Mobai formed a dark cloud, screeching sharply and spitting out Wind Blades that battered the market¡¯s defense shield.


    ¡°Foul beasts!¡±


    Upon seeing this sight, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes grew cold. With a flick of his finger, he drew a yellow-skin gourd from his storage bag, which he had not used for a long time.


    He uncorked the gourd and a blaze of orange-red brilliance shot out, soaring skywards like a laser beam, slicing in half the largest and most shrill-crying Rank-2 Black Plague Bird at the top of the market.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai had already flown out of the large array!


    The pitch-black flock of birds, driven into a frenzy by the demise of their leader, began flying chaotically in all directions. Spotting such a conspicuous flaming figure, they instinctively started reversing direction, fleeing.


    But Chen Mobai controlled the orange-red radiance, circling half the sky around himself as the center, tracing a fan-shaped arc.


    In an instant, along the circular plane swept by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, hundreds of Black Plague Birds were simultaneously sliced into upper and lower halves.


    However, Chen Mobai soon realized that many Black Plague Birds still managed to escape unscathed.


    Amidst the sky filled with black feathers and blood, he once again spat out a stream of golden flames and steered it towards the cluster of surviving Black Plague Birds.


    Even without deploying the Flame Sun Slash, just the power of these golden flames was enough to instantly melt these Rank-1 demonic beasts.


    Even more piercing cries rang out, but under the immolation of the golden flames, they gradually turned to ashes.


    A few Black Plague Birds seeing the bad turn of events managed to escape the flock before the flames spread.


    Around the island, one after another, beams of spiritual light appeared¨Cthese were Foundation Establishment Practitioners like Jiang Zongheng.


    In just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, this group of Black Plague Birds, enough to give King Zhou and his people a headache should they attack the shoreline of Sky Country, was exterminated.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for your assistance.¡±


    The owner of the market was still an acquaintance of Chen Mobai, Tie Qingshan.


    Without staying here, Chen Mobai led the remaining Foundation Establishment Practitioners, preparing to move on to the next market.


    Unfortunately, when Tie Qingshan activated the teleportation array, there was no response on the other end.


    ¡°It seems that side has been breached by the demonic beasts!¡±


    He said this with a grim voice. Nearly thirty years had passed without a demonic beast tide, and the major families had expended considerable effort to establish markets and build teleportation arrays in Cloud Dream Marsh. To think that in the end, they could not escape disaster.


    If he hadn¡¯t been lucky enough to encounter Chen Mobai coming here, he would likely have had no choice but to escape to the mainland through the teleportation array.


    ¡°Contact King Zhou, tell him to move the battle line forward, and send someone here to take command, securing this teleportation array!¡±

    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment before saying this.


    After clearing out the Black Plague Birds, the pressure on the shoreline wasn¡¯t as great. He left behind Qi Rui and Zhou Zhenhong, two Foundation Establishment Practitioners, on the island just in case Wind Rain Hamlet fell and there was no way to retreat.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Master!¡±


    Both understood the significance of the teleportation array and nodded with solemn faces.


    Chen Mobai then raised the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± this legal treasure, and led the remaining Foundation Establishment Practitioners towards Wind Rain Hamlet.

 Chapter 1099 - Chapter 1099 Chapter 605 The Great Battle of Wind Rain Hamlet

    Chapter 1099: Chapter 605: The Great Battle of Wind Rain Hamlet Chapter 1099: Chapter 605: The Great Battle of Wind Rain Hamlet The very center of Yun Meng Ze was a lake shimmering with light, surrounded by mists, resembling a heavenly painting.


    Oddly shaped islands were interspersed beneath the surface of the lake, where a Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon was sealed, containing the mighty power of three Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    The clouds entwined above the lake like silk, as if a thin veil had been laid over it. From a distance, it seemed like a hidden paradise, mysterious as if of another realm.


    But every cultivator in Yun Meng Ze knew that to enter was to embrace death without hope of life.


    The fog was none other than the poison emitted by the dragon from within its seal, capable of melting bones and dissipating the Spiritual Power of even a Golden Core Cultivator upon contact.


    Dozens of miles to the east of this seal, there were three islands peeking above the surface of the water.


    The islands, one large and two small, were arranged in a triangular formation, with the largest facing the sealed area.


    The island was lush with trees, and picturesque, with wooden buildings climbing the hillside, arranged along a mysterious trajectory, forming a large Formation that enveloped the island.


    On the two smaller islands, similar Formations were in place, and together with the larger one, they linked into an even more massive Array that encompassed nearly half the eastern water boundary.


    This was the famous Heaven Waterfall and Wind-Rain Tri-Element Formation, an intermediate-grade Rank-4 Formation.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only the Mysterious Five Elements Array in Hunyuan Immortal City and the fully-powered Array of Ten Thousand Woods could match its power.


    Yet today, this Formation was in grave danger.


    A massive cloud of fog billowed from the sky above Yun Meng Ze¡¯s sealed realm, carrying a stunning array of colors, like a fiery brush painting a luminous dragon across the heavens.


    The dragon was lifelike, its hollow eyes like swirling vortices, its breaths bringing storm and thunder.


    Along with the multicolored cloud, an enormous, slender fog-created dragon claw stretched from midair and pressed down on the light shield protecting Wind Rain Hamlet.


    This claw alone tied up half of the Tri-Element Formation¡¯s power!


    This was due to the weakening of the seal, allowing a portion of the Poisonous Dragon¡¯s evil Qi to leak out.


    Thus, the other mighty demonic beasts that had been trapped within the seal with the dragon were now being released one by one, stirring up turmoil in Yun Meng Ze in an attempt to disrupt the source of the sealing power from the outside.


    As the Poison Dragon Cloud Claw descended from the sky and tied down part of the Formation¡¯s strength, the protective shields that should have encompassed the other two islands began to weaken rapidly.


    Above the island, the sky was swarming with Black Plague Birds, and from the water, monstrous strange fish and Demon Turtles leaped out, spitting jet-black Water Arrows at the shield around the Formation.


    Within Wind Rain Hamlet, various attacks like Sword Lights, fireballs, and ice swords also flew out through the Formation.


    Some accurately killed the strange fish leaping out of the water and brought down the black birds sweeping through the sky, but many were blocked by the Demon Turtles.


    Although they were demonic beasts, under the command of four Rank-3 beasts, they were organized and coordinated, forming a balanced offensive and defensive Battle Array in the water.


    While the Poison Dragon Cloud Claw pressed down on the Formation of the main island, these beasts focused their efforts on attempting to break the two smaller islands.


    The most crucial Spiritual Pivot of the Heaven Waterfall and Wind-Rain Tri-Element Formation was on the main island, but the two flanking islands were also vital, serving as a core node for the Formation¡¯s boundaries.


    If breached, the might of the entire Formation would drop by more than thirty percent.


    Then, under the combined assault of the Poison Dragon Cloud Claw and the tide of demonic beasts, it could very well be completely broken through.


    Without Wind Rain Hamlet to stand guard here, the beasts could easily break through the sealing nodes left by the three Nascent Soul Cultivators, freeing the Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon.


    And that was exactly why Wind Rain Hamlet must not fall.


    A cerulean and a fiery red Spiritual Light stood above the two smaller islands, wielding the remaining strength of the Formation to fend off the thousands of odd-shaped demonic beasts assaulting it.


    Four beams of blue-white-red-black evil Qi also exploded in midair, the might of those four Rank-3 demonic beasts.


    They stood at the four corners of the battlefield, pairing up and charging toward the two Golden Core Cultivators.


    The cerulean light was Nu Jiang, and the fiery red light was naturally the True Person of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Fire Vein, Sheng Zhaoxi.


    She was slightly full-figured, yet her presence was imposing without anger; her eyes held a potent fierceness, and as her red robe billowed with the wind, a strange circular blade-like a spinning wheel revolved swiftly around her, a circle of blazing red Flames bursting forth like crescent fire blades, slashing towards the sky full of demonic beasts pouring onto the island.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With a thunderous crash, dozens of Black Plague Birds that couldn¡¯t dodge in time screamed as they burst into fireballs.


    Just as the crescent fire blade seemed about to cut through the cloud of Black Plague Birds blanketing the sky, a turtle as tall as two men surged forward with towering waves, its shell streaked with greenish-white Spiritual Patterns, intercepting the blade head-on.


    Accompanied by a scorching hiss!


    Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s full-powered fire blade merely left a burn mark on the turtle shell, causing no injury.


    A piercing howl resounded as a huge black bird with wings spread like clouds descended over Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s head, its wings flapping a blue light like thunder, striking down fiercely.

 Chapter 1100 - Chapter 1100 Chapter 605 The Great Battle of Wind Rain

    Chapter 1100: Chapter 605: The Great Battle of Wind Rain Hamlet_2 Chapter 1100: Chapter 605: The Great Battle of Wind Rain Hamlet_2 Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s expression remained unchanged as she waved her right hand, summoning a brilliant blue surge of water above her head, which was the power of the Sky Waterfall Divine Light Formation.


    The Green Lightning Thunder clashed with the formation¡¯s light barrier, erupting into blindingly dazzling Spiritual Light in an instant.


    At the same moment, the sky suddenly darkened!


    Sheng Zhaoxi looked up, only to see all the Black Plague Birds converging above her at this time, and following the lead of the Rank-3 Bird King, they all spat out green Wind Blades towards her.


    It was as if a rain of green blades fell from the sky, clanging against the Large Formation¡¯s defense shield, causing the already fluctuating Sky Waterfall Divine Light from the bombardment of the Rank-3 Divine Thunder to flash incessantly.


    Woo!


    At the same time, the Rank-3 Demon Turtle was calling on its kind, with all the Demonic Turtles raising their heads above the water to collectively perform their water-control Technique Law, whipping up a gigantic tide that swept through the sky.


    The tidal wave was like a mountain, roaring in, accompanied by the howling winds from the sky as it crashed violently into the Large Formation, creating bursts of dull, heart-quaking booms.


    Crack!


    It sounded as if something had split open, causing a slight change in Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s expression as she turned to look towards the source of the noise.


    A half-meter long crack had appeared on the side of the dome-covering Large Formation, seemingly unable to withstand the continuous battering of the wind and tidal waves unleashed by the Demonic Beasts.


    Two nearby Black Plague Birds, with eyes flashing crimson, screeched as they darted into the formation.


    In a flash of firelight, Sheng Zhaoxi had already used the Taiyi True Fire, turning the intruding Demonic Beasts into two fireballs.


    But this was just the beginning!


    Under the command of the Rank-3 Demonic Beasts, the black clouds in the sky rode the cutting wind and thunder, while the Demonic Turtles in the water harnessed the boundless waves, lifting tides like mountains, one wave after another, pounding against the ¡°Sky Waterfall Divine Light¡± without cease.


    The azure defense light shield cracked again and again, and within the formation, Sheng Zhaoxi had no idea how much True Fire she had summoned or how many Black Birds and Demonic Turtles she had slain.


    But as time went by, the cracks in the formation grew larger and larger until, on the seventh day, it seemed to reach its limit and with a thunderous sound, it completely shattered!


    The Demonic Beasts that had been waiting for this moment began to howl as they surged towards the two islands.


    The thousands of mortals on the islands displayed looks of despair on their faces, closing their eyes tight as if waiting for death to come.


    ¡°Release!¡±


    But at that moment, Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s cold voice rang out!


    Following that, twelve Foundation Establishment Practitioners flew up, along with three hundred elite Qi Cultivation late-phase cultivators, as they simultaneously took out pieces of Red Jade Stone from their Storage Bags.


    The stones, roughly the size of a fist, had crimson patterns carved on their surfaces, resembling Talismans or script.


    As they absorbed the Cultivators¡¯ Spiritual Power, they were rapidly launched in all directions.


    And at that moment, they were headed right for those impatient Demonic Beasts swarming at the shores!


    The Jade Stones fell amongst the ranks of Demonic Beasts and then suddenly exploded, bright red beams of light bursting forth like suns descending into darkness, igniting intense radiance that blasted out massive fireballs, each spanning tens of meters in diameter, around the islands.


    Boom, boom, boom, boom!


    Those were the Fire Vein¡¯s ¡°True Fire Thunder Pearls¡± of Taiyi, which, depending on the Cultivator¡¯s Cultivation Level, could range from Rank-1 to Rank-3.


    And this time, for the sake of ambushing the Demonic Beasts, they were all Rank-2!


    Even Sheng Zhaoxi herself had taken out two prized Rank-3 Divine Thunders and flicked them towards the two Rank-3 Demonic Beasts that were charging at her after the formation had broken.


    Amidst thunderous booms, two giant fireballs appeared in the sky, incinerating dozens of surrounding Demonic Beasts to ash in an instant.


    That demonstrated the formidable power of the Taiyi True Fire Thunder Pearls.


    After a round of Divine Thunder bombardment, hundreds of Black Plague Birds within the range of the island turned into fireball charcoals, plummeting from the sky.


    However, only the few Demonic Turtles in the very center of the Divine Thunder¡¯s range were left mutilated and bloody.


    One by one, the demonic turtles, affected by divine lightning and burning, covered themselves with an endless supply of water. Accompanied by steaming vapor, they endured the blazing true fire. Each, with a fierce and ferocious look, trampled the wooden houses and other buildings on the shore and rumbled towards the cultivators and common people at the center.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the formation been activated yet!¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi, seeing this scene, shouted harshly at a Foundation Establishment practitioner below, who was overseeing the situation. He, along with five other Foundation Establishment practitioners, had their faces flushed red as they held top-grade spirit stones and focused their spiritual power on an array plate at the center.


    Waves of azure blue began to ripple from the array plate at the center, spreading in all directions.


    Soon, they had enveloped all the cultivators and commoners on the island.


    However, as the formation¡¯s light shield spread to the shore, it was resisted by the massive demonic turtles.


    Flashes of firelight twinkled, and just as Sheng Zhaoxi was about to cast the Taiyi True Fire Slash, a huge shadow enveloped her.


    Looking up, she saw a Rank-3 demon turtle, its body emanating wisp after wisp of scorched black smoke, burst out from the divine lightning fireball in the sky. It swung its sharp claws fiercely, the dark Xuan Guang flickering as if it were swatting a fly, landing right on top of Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s head!


    The fiery red light, accompanied by the circular blade spinning, burst forth with dazzling, brilliant sparks.


    Accompanied by a wisp of blood light, the dark Xuan Guang in the beast¡¯s paw was actually split open by the spinning blade, which then slashed into its flesh and skin.


    But this scene caused Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s expression to subtly shift.


    Her Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring was a third-rank superior-grade magic artifact, one of the most powerful in the Eastern Wilderness, capable of slicing through any Rank-3 defense technique.


    Yet, when fully activated, it only managed to penetrate the outermost layer of the demonic turtle¡¯s shell.


    No wonder her Rank-3 Divine Thunder Pearl had only left scorch marks, without any real injury.


    The defensive capability of this demon turtle was likely at the peak of Rank-3.


    ¡°That you¡¯ve managed to penetrate my defenses should be a matter of pride for you, human!¡±


    At this moment, the demon turtle on the other side emitted a thunderous and muffled sound. Suddenly, it clenched its paw, tightly grasping the Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring that had sliced into the flesh of its palm. Then it opened its mouth, condensing a mass of dark black water light.


    Water light as thunder, rapid beyond measure, it burst forth and slammed right into Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s forehead in the blink of an eye.


    Pure, clear jade light flickered; Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s hairpin atop her head shone with spiritual light, blocking the Sunflower Water Yin Thunder at the critical moment.


    At the same time, another Rank-3 Black Plague Bird had also escaped the divine lightning fireball, but it was in a more pitiful state, its feathers nearly all burned off, revealing scorched red flesh.


    Seemingly in a rage, it let out a shrill screech, and a cyan egg-sized inner core shot out from its mouth.


    In an instant, the howling intensified, and thunder roared.


    This was a desperate measure from the demonic beast, and Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s jade hairpin flew out, the spiritual light activated to its utmost, attempting to block the inner core from afar.


    However, a turtle paw shimmering with dark Xuan Guang reached out and directly grasped the hairpin.


    Even as the hairpin pierced another bloody hole in the palm, the Rank-3 demon turtle did not waver.


    Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s eyes blazed with rage as she swallowed an elixir, pushing the Great Sun¡¯s True Fire Art to its limit. Her lifespan magic artifact, the Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring, burst forth with crimson flames. In the turtle¡¯s palm, it rotated, nullifying the dark Xuan Guang while slowly slicing open the creature¡¯s paw.


    Despite the sparks flying, Shing Zhaoxi¡¯s expression turned grave.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Because before she could retrieve her lifespan artifact, the cyan inner core had the potency to kill her a dozen times over.


    ¡°Damn it, this Rank-3 demon turtle is too much of a counter to me, water attribute, with powerful talent¨Cprobably in the whole Eastern Wilderness, only Zhou Ye could use Earth True Qi to break its defense!¡±


    Having crossed hands with the two Rank-3 demonic beasts, Sheng Zhaoxi by now had gauged their strength. The Black Plague Bird wasn¡¯t so bad; she was somewhat confident she could kill it one-on-one.


    However, she was utterly helpless against this water-attribute turtle with its astonishing defense!


    As the cyan inner core was about to explode before her eyes,


    Sheng Zhaoxi gritted her teeth and, with great reluctance, made a tactical decision. She abandoned her two magic artifacts and turned to retreat into the shrinking range of the ¡°Heaven Waterfall and Wind-Rain Tri-Element Formation.¡±

 Chapter 1101 - Chapter 1101 Chapter 606 Steam Rises over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks

    Chapter 1101: Chapter 606: Steam Rises over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks to the alliance leader wo Zhejian Chen Sha) Chapter 1101: Chapter 606: Steam Rises over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks to the alliance leader wo Zhejian Chen Sha) Just as Sheng Zhaoxi retreated, on the distant island, the claw of the Seven-colored Cloud Dragon that had been suppressing the Sky Waterfall Divine Light suddenly flashed even more brilliantly, and its power surged dramatically.


    Feeling the increase in suppressive force, the formation on the island immediately followed the pre-set program, drawing a portion of the innate power from the two adjacent islands, maintaining the equilibrium of the situation with the descending claw of the Seven-colored Cloud Dragon.


    At this critical moment, as Sheng Zhaoxi retreated and needed the cover of the Sky Waterfall Divine Light, the action of the Seven-colored Cloud Dragon¡¯s claw almost determined the outcome on the battlefield.


    The six Foundation Establishment practitioners, who were channeling spiritual power into the Array Plate on the small island, turned pale simultaneously, all spitting out a mouthful of blood, their bodies trembling.


    Four of them couldn¡¯t withstand such extraction and passed out on the spot.


    The remaining two practitioners in the late phase of Foundation Establishment, although still conscious, felt as if their Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had been hammered, with spiritual power chaotically coursing through their bodies, scarcely better off than those who had fainted.


    Without the spiritual power infusion from these six, the Array Plate began to flicker erratically. Even though the other six Foundation Establishment practitioners rushed over to take their place in channeling spiritual power, the Sky Waterfall Divine Light at Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s back dissipated at that very moment.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s face changed drastically as she sensed this scene.


    At that time, a green inner core, bringing with it wildly fierce Wind Thunder, struck right in front of her.


    Sheng Zhaoxi could only take out a gray-red jade talisman from her Storage Bag. After infusing it with spiritual power to activate it, it turned into a rising flame cloud light, enveloping her completely.


    This was her last-resort protective talisman, a fourth-grade lower class Fire Cloud Shield Talisman, given to her by Ancestor Hunyuan!


    It could defend against any third-rank attacks, and even withstand a fourth-rank force for a short time.


    Sheng Zhaoxi had only this one talisman, and she truly did not wish to use it if possible.


    But at this life-and-death moment, she couldn¡¯t afford to be reluctant.


    The green inner core, carrying boundless Wind Thunder, heavily struck the flame cloud light, instantly unleashing a brilliance even more terrifying than that of the third-rank Taiyi True Fire Divine Thunder Beads.


    Even the Demon Turtle involuntarily retracted into its shell, turning around to present its defensively strongest turtle shell towards the core of the colliding forces.


    Amid the thunderous booms,


    Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s face was as pale as golden paper; the violent Wind Thunder from the green inner core had been entirely blocked by the flame cloud light, but the spiritual power within her had been drained by the Fourth Order Talisman.


    Blue-green ripples of light appeared behind her, as the Sky Waterfall Divine Light reformed, ready to surge into the sky and protect her once again.


    A goose egg-sized green-black inner core, with a faint water light, was spat out by the Demon Turtle. It drew ripples in the air as it fell, holding back the force from the Large Formation.


    With intelligence comparable to humans, third-rank demonic beasts naturally understood the principle of focusing all their power in one strike.


    The Demon Turtle, having also expelled its inner core, revealed a malicious gleam in its mung bean-sized eyes. It then raised its foot, gathering a large mass of Sunflower Water Yin Thunder, and stomped down towards Sheng Zhaoxi, who no longer had any means of defense.


    Even in the face of death, Sheng Zhaoxi still did not give up any chance of survival.


    Using the Blood Escape Secret Technique, she squeezed out some spiritual power from her body and activated a Third Rank Superior Grade Defensive Talisman.


    Although the talisman¡¯s firelight blocked the Sunflower Water Yin Thunder, it couldn¡¯t stop the enormous foot of the Demon Turtle, which descended like a mountain.


    Sheng Zhaoxi maneuvered her body, trying to dodge.


    But with her insufficient spiritual power, her speed was simply too slow, and the covering range of the Demon Turtle¡¯s foot was far too vast.


    Finally, as the shadow covered her entirely, Sheng Zhaoxi let out a wry smile and closed her eyes, ready to accept death.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    An extremely familiar cry rang out at her side.


    Sheng Zhaoxi recognized the voice as her disciple Tan Rong¡¯s, but wasn¡¯t she in Rock Country? How did she come to Yun Meng Ze?


    Could it be hallucinations before death? Even if she had come, her disciple who was only at the level of Foundation Establishment couldn¡¯t possibly change the inevitable outcome of her death.


    Despite those thoughts, instinctively, Sheng Zhaoxi still opened her eyes, turning toward the direction of the voice.


    Then, she saw at the end of the water, a spectrum of colored clouds leapt forth, flying towards this side at an incredible speed.


    With her keen vision, Sheng Zhaoxi clearly saw her attractive disciple Tan Rong indeed standing atop those clouds.


    Beyond her, there were seven or eight cultivators of various elegant demeanors.


    But first and foremost, Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s attention was captured by a young man in a red-black long robe in the lead.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For, in the moment she saw the young man, his figure vanished like a flame atop the clouds, and then as if time had stood still, he suddenly crossed the expanse of water between them, materializing right before her eyes.


    Sheng Zhaoxi looked at the young man¡¯s back, realizing who he must be!


    It must be Junior Brother Chen, whom she had never met before!


    At the same time, the gargantuan foot of the Demon Turtle descended!


    But two golden, glowing fireballs also rose in the young man¡¯s palms. Standing in front of Sheng Zhaoxi, he casually drew two brilliant, burning beams of fire in the air, weaving them into a radiant ¡°X¡± right there.

 Chapter 1102 - Chapter 1102 Chapter 606 Vapors Rise Over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks

    Chapter 1102: Chapter 606: Vapors Rise Over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks to League Leader wo Zhe Jian Chen Sha)_2 Chapter 1102: Chapter 606: Vapors Rise Over Yun Meng Ze (Thanks to League Leader wo Zhe Jian Chen Sha)_2 The cross ascended into the sky, striking precisely at the center of the demon turtle¡¯s foot.


    ¡°It¡¯s an aquatic demonic beast, with a strong resistance to fire spells¡­¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi couldn¡¯t help but remind Chen Mobai, but before she could finish, she witnessed a shocking scene.


    The demon turtle¡¯s shell armor, which she needed to exert her full strength to break through, was effortlessly sliced into by the golden fire cross like it was mere soil, and its foot was split into four in an instant.


    A smell of charred roasted meat filled the air, and the demon turtle couldn¡¯t help but cry out in pain.


    Then a dark, mysterious light emitted from its mouth onto the root of the foot that was severed by the Flame Sun Slash. The cold, clear water light evaporated into clouds of steam, but the golden flame that was burning its flesh finally extinguished.


    ¡°To take two of my Flame Sun Slashes and still not die, this beast¡¯s fire resistance is indeed extraordinary!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke indifferently, and upon hearing this, the corner of Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. She had exerted all her effort and used her Lifespan Artifact, only just managing to break through this demon turtle¡¯s defenses.


    But the Junior Brother Chen before her seemed to have casually sliced off one of the demon turtle¡¯s foot.


    The stark contrast made it hard for her to accept, especially considering she had two hundred more years of cultivation than him.


    Although it was previously heard that this junior brother was a talent beyond compare, known as the number one sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness.


    But Sheng Zhaoxi thought that the reason for Chen Mobai¡¯s renowned reputation and brilliant battle record was mostly due to that mythical sword from the Longevity Sect, a Rank-4 Holy Sword!


    If without using the Sword Artifact, Sheng Zhaoxi felt that with her own mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level, she should be able to overcome this Junior Brother who had only just reached Foundation Establishment and not yet reached its ten-years mark.


    After all, they both cultivate fire vein techniques, and Sheng Zhaoxi believed she had a deeper understanding of the path of fire than the young man.


    However, today¡¯s scene made her realize how shallow her assumptions were.


    It turned out there were indeed incredible geniuses in the world!


    Brother Zhou is truly fortunate to have such an exceptional successor!


    Boom!


    Just as Sheng Zhaoxi narrowly escaped death and her thoughts were swirling, a dull roar sounded.


    The demon turtle had retracted its inner core and joined up with the Rank-3 Black Plague Bird.


    With their obstruction gone, the Sky Waterfall Divine Light finally rose, enveloping and protecting Sheng Zhaoxi.


    ¡°This is Senior Brother Chen of the Divine Wood Sect; even the Sky Waterfall Divine Light¡¯s protection is bestowed upon him!¡±


    Seeing the disciples below only applying a teal wave on their own bodies, Sheng Zhaoxi frowned slightly and shouted to the disciple leading the formation.


    ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    ¡°Sheng Shijie, I appreciate your kindness, but I have never combined forces with this Sky Waterfall Divine Light before. I¡¯m about to push my Red Flame Sword Art to its peak and combat these vile creatures. I¡¯m afraid the incompatibility of water and fire will hinder each other. Let¡¯s not use it for now,¡± said Chen Mobai, declining the offer. He then slowly floated up, step by step, until he stood before the two Rank-3 demonic beasts.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, even though your Red Flame Sword Art is highly accomplished and your offense is at the Third Rank Peak, the demon turtle¡¯s shell is capable of stopping your Flame Sun Slash. It would be better to wait for me to recover my Elemental Energy, so we can join forces to fight them again. With the support of the large formation, we have a seven to eight percent chance of victory,¡± Sheng Zhaoxi saw Chen Mobai¡¯s recklessness and immediately tried to stop him, wishing to proceed with her stable strategy.


    ¡°Sheng Shijie, against merely two demonic beasts, I alone am a hundred percent confident!¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s calm response left Sheng Zhaoxi with wide eyes, unsure of how to reply.


    [This young man is an unmatched sword cultivation genius, invincible in his rank since his debut, and after reaching Foundation Establishment, he has severed Nanxuan Jing and made Xuan Shu retreat with his sword. He has never tasted defeat, which fostered his prideful character that looks down on everything. But these two demonic beasts are not simple, and the gaze of that Poisonous Dragon is watching¡­]


    Thinking thus, Sheng Zhaoxi knew she couldn¡¯t persuade him any further. She could only consume an elixir to restore her spiritual power and took out a Rank-3 Divine Thunder Pearl, planning to throw it to Chen Mobai if he encountered imminent danger, to help him break free.


    She guessed that this junior brother must have a Fire Spirit Body; otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be possible to master the Red Flame Sword Art to completion at such a young age.


    This True Fire Thunder Pearl does almost no harm to a Fire Spirit Body.


    ¡°Human, you can only injure me once at most,¡±


    At this moment, the dull voice of the Demon Turtle rang out. Although it had not yet transformed, it had already refined its Transverse Bone.


    As it spoke, its head, limbs, and tail all retracted, and then a dark water light shone from the green and white Spiritual Patterns on its turtle shell, enveloping its body in an instant.


    In that moment, it had exerted its defensive power to the utmost.


    Chen Mobai waved his right hand sword finger, and two golden flames under the control of his Divine Sense condensed into a glinting golden flame sword blade, stretched across the mid-air like a sword that reached the sky, and heavily chopped towards the center of the turtle shell!


    Dark Xuan Guang burst forth, clashing with the Great Achievement of the Flame Sun Slash!


    The two extremely opposed forces of water and fire erupted with a might in the skies above Yun Meng Ze that was even more terrifying than the earlier clash between Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s Fourth Order Talisman and the Green inner core.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Clouds of steam evaporated, causing a violent gas explosion sound.


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s interesting!¡±


    Chen Mobai found that his two balls of golden flames driving the Flame Sun Slash truly could not break through the turtle shell¡¯s defense, and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to stimulate a third ball of golden flame, a streak of green thunder charged towards him at high speed.


    Another Rank-3 Demonic Beast made its move!


    After executing the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, Chen Mobai had already vanished from the spot.


    Expressionless, he flickered in front of the Rank-3 Black Plague Bird, the third ball of golden flames condensed at his glabella, and, like a stream of light, it slashed onto its protective demonic Qi.


    During the flashing and stirring of the green Wind Thunder, the Black Plague Bird also pulled away in an extremely short time, aiming to rely on its speed advantage in coordination with the Demon Turtle.


    However, because all of its feathers had been incinerated, its flying track was no longer as free and untroubled as at the beginning, becoming predictable. Sheng Zhaoxi, who was watching from the sidelines, seized the opportunity and flicked her Divine Thunder Pearl into its flight path.


    Amid a huge explosive noise, the Black Plague Bird was blasted again.


    Chen Mobai watched the giant bird beast that wanted to burst forth from the ball of fire with Wind Thunder power, his palm shooting out balls of golden flames one after another.


    In Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s dazzled, incredulous gaze, five golden flames, carrying glistening trails of light, like five golden meteors, plunged into the core of the Divine Thunder True Fire.


    Amidst a piercing screech, five golden lights crisscrossed within the fireball, like a sword net slicing past, cutting the burning firebird into dozens of pieces.


    The scent of burnt chicken instantly spread across the entire battlefield.


    ¡°He actually mastered seven Flame Sun Slashes!¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi wore an expression of disbelief. The two that suppressed the Demon Turtle, plus the five that killed the Black Plague Bird, meant that Chen Mobai was only two away from attempting to cultivate the Extreme Sun Slash!


    Where did he get so much Qingyang Fire, Green Wood Evil?


    She knew that when she chose the Great Sun¡¯s True Fire Art rather than the more powerful Red Flame Sword Art, it was not only because she was not particularly fond of the Sword Dao but also because she felt that waiting for Qingyang Fire and Green Wood Evil was too troublesome.


    After slaying the Rank-3 Black Plague Bird, the five balls of golden flame light flew out from within the Divine Thunder True Fire, trailing five long marks of flames. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, they merged into the flame sword blade suppressing the Demon Turtle.


    After that, the initial flame sword blade that was only the size of a sword tip began to become more complete, outlining a massive gold-gleaming fire sword in the air.

    With the enhancement of seven Flame Sun Slashes, the turtle shell became even more scorched but still showed no signs of cracking open.


    However, the Demon Turtle¡¯s dark water light couldn¡¯t bear the brunt and exploded completely. Golden flames burned fiercely on the turtle shell, the intense fire penetrating its body and boiling its blood.


    The Demon Turtle couldn¡¯t help but fall into Yun Meng Ze, seeking to employ the boundless waters to eradicate the dreadful golden flames.


    Yet the might of the golden flames was fully displayed at this moment.


    The surface of Yun Meng Ze¡¯s lake, in that instant, actually dropped by as much as half a finger¡¯s width.

 Chapter 1103 - Chapter 1103 Chapter 607 Slash Slash Slash

    Chapter 1103: Chapter 607: Slash Slash Slash Chapter 1103: Chapter 607: Slash Slash Slash This was also the first time Chen Mobai unleashed the full power of his seven Flame Sun Slashes since mastering them, and he hadn¡¯t expected them to be so overwhelmingly strong.


    However, the consumption of Spiritual Power was also very significant.


    After successively suppressing the Demon Turtle and slaying the Black Plague Bird, followed by knocking down the Demon Turtle again, golden flames blazed furiously without pause, drawing upon his Spiritual Power and evaporating the vast expanse of Yun Meng Ze.


    As the water level dropped sharply, the Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea was also completely depleted.


    He immediately severed his connection with the Golden Flame, ceasing to let it scorch and evaporate all that it touched.


    Without Chen Mobai¡¯s supply of Spiritual Power, the Demon Turtle finally managed to survive the catastrophe.


    The endless Water Elemental Power from Yun Meng Ze surged into the Demon Turtle¡¯s body, extinguishing the rootless Golden Flame and gradually soothing the boiling and scorching energy within the Demon Turtle.


    ¡°Where did this kid come from? Thankfully it wasn¡¯t the Extreme Sun Slash, otherwise my Turtle Shell would definitely have been split open¡­¡±


    The Demon Turtle hid within the waters of Yun Meng Ze, secretly sizing up Chen Mobai from behind the cover of the water.


    It thought back to the time when it followed the Poison Dragon King out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion and fought a major battle with human Cultivators. Back then, when it was just a Rank-2 little black turtle, it had witnessed its ancestor foolishly blocking the way of Ancestor Hunyuan, only to be cleaved in half by a single strike of his Extreme Sun Slash¨Ca bloody scene that left a deep psychological shadow on its young self.


    As the Demon Turtle was contemplating whether to retreat, it suddenly saw through the water¡¯s surface the fair-faced youth in the air turning a shade paler, and the seven swirling golden flames around him beginning to shrink and extinguish.


    ¡°Is this kid¡¯s Spiritual Power exhausted? Makes sense, after all he¡¯s only at the Early Golden Core Stage. The seven Flame Sun Slashes can only be easily wielded by a Cultivator in the Core Formation Late Stage. He must have used some secret technique or consumed a mystical pill to boost his Spiritual Power at the expense of his vital essence, and now the backlash has occurred. This is the perfect time to take his life!¡±


    Among all the Demonic beasts of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, the Demon Turtle was renowned for its high intelligence. Since being released from the seal by the Poison Dragon, although it had been causing trouble, it had also captured many human Cultivators, forcing them to divulge their text and knowledge.


    It prided itself on understanding human Cultivators more than anyone else.


    It concluded that even if Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t completely drained of vital energy, after using the seven Flame Sun Slashes, he must be running out of Spiritual Power.


    With this thought in mind, its eyes the size of mung beans started to spin as it hesitated whether to strike again.


    After all, the black bird had already been slain, and it was the only one left.


    Although it was confident in its defenses and believed it could withstand another unified strike of the seven Flame Sun Slashes, it did not want to endure the feeling of being nearly roasted again.


    As the Demon Turtle hesitated, it suddenly saw the youth in the sky take out a Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and begin to absorb its Spiritual Energy.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait any longer. After all, this kid cannot break through my defense. I¡¯ll give it another try, and if I can kill him, Wind Rain Hamlet will easily be trampled underfoot.¡±


    Believing itself to be in an unconquerable position, the Demon Turtle eventually decided to take the risk.


    In the crashing tumult of waves, the enormous and fierce Demon Turtle resurfaced again.


    It rode the wave-like mountains towards the sky, retracting its head, limbs, and tail into its Turtle Shell, resembling a cannonball, flickering with streak after streak of Sunflower Water Yin Thunder. It revolved with the roaring sound of the waves, heavily smashing towards Chen Mobai in mid-air.


    ¡°Lucky you have a brain, otherwise I really couldn¡¯t kill you!¡±


    But just as the Demon Turtle charged at Chen Mobai, it heard the youth say a slightly mocking phrase.


    What does that mean?


    As the Demon Turtle puzzled over this, the Void opened up, and Chen Mobai drew out a Longsword wreathed in Purple Lightning. With a flick of his wrist, the blade tore through the air, cleaving towards the roaring, spinning Turtle Shell in the sky.


    Sizzle!


    A dazzling and blinding arc of Purple Lightning Sword light flashed in front of Chen Mobai, tracing a fan-shaped trajectory. It sliced through the Turtle Shell as easily as cutting through tofu, neatly splitting it into two halves.


    Amidst the splattering of blood, the Demon Turtle¡¯s head, hidden within the shell, emerged in disbelief as its defense was shattered.


    ¡°What sword is this¡­¡±


    To think that not even Ancestor Hunyuan, a hundred years ago, possessed such a powerful and terrifying Sword Artifact.


    ¡°The sword that kills you!¡±


    Chen Mobai said indifferently, his Purple Electric Sword swung again. Amidst the booming thunder, the Demon Turtle¡¯s head flew off.


    It opened its mouth wide, the Inner Core nearly ejecting, but not as swiftly as the Purple Electric Sword.


    Chen Mobai swept his sleeve, and the five-colored clouds soared out like a gentle hand. They suppressed and neutralized the surrounding Sunflower Water Yin Thunder, and captured the Inner Core into his robe sleeve.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then he swung his sword again, cleaving open the Taiyi Divine Thunder True Fire that still burned fiercely in the air. His Void Spirit Eye had long locked onto the Inner Core of the Black Plague Bird, and he used the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to pull it into another sleeve.


    ¡°Well done.¡±


    After slaying two Rank-3 Demonic beasts, Chen Mobai placed the Top-grade Spirit Stone he was holding into the blade of the Purple Electric Sword, as the agreed reward for its help.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. That green Inner Core looks so delicious.¡±


    However, after receiving the Top-grade Spirit Stone, the Purple Electric Sword suddenly spoke again, uttering words that surprised Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 1104 - Chapter 1104 Chapter 607 Slash Slash Slash_2

    Chapter 1104: Chapter 607: Slash Slash Slash_2 Chapter 1104: Chapter 607: Slash Slash Slash_2 But he quickly realized that the Black Plague Bird belonged to the wind type of demonic beasts. The interaction between wind and thunder would indeed greatly benefit the Purple Electric Sword.


    However, in the Eastern Wilderness, an inner core could nurture a cultivator with the combat power of the Golden Core level, even if it were just a Fake Pill. At the very least, it could overshadow the realm of Foundation Establishment.


    For the Divine Wood Sect, having one more combatant of such realm meant that they could dominate the Eastern Wasteland ten years earlier.


    And if given to the Purple Electric Sword, at best, the sword artifact would be happier and its might might increase slightly, but its grade would definitely not break through Rank-4.


    Compared to a Golden Core level combatant, this would be too wasteful.


    ¡°I have another use for this inner core.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had thought it through, he immediately gave another top-grade Spirit Stone, pacified the Purple Electric Sword, and quickly sent it back into his domain.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we truly owe you a great deal this time!¡±


    At this moment, seeing Chen Mobai cutting through the demonic beasts as if they were vegetables and fruits, Sheng Zhaoxi flew over too. Her face was filled with shock as she respectfully thanked him.


    ¡°As a cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, it is my duty to guard the peace of the Eastern Wilderness,¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke solemnly. At this time, without the two Rank-3 demonic beasts leading them, the originally orderly demonic beasts that were attacking Wind Rain Hamlet from land, sea, and air, started to stampede and clash with one another.


    It wasn¡¯t long before some demonic beasts began to retreat, but others became even more frenzied in their assault on land.


    On the surface of the water, streaks of Spiritual Light flickered, hunting various demonic beasts.


    These were the people brought by Chen Mobai.


    All of them were Foundation Establishment Practitioners; as long as they were careful not to get surrounded by the hordes of demonic beasts, they were largely able to handle themselves with ease.


    However, there were some whose style was quite different.


    Zhuo Ming lacked experience in magic duels. At the beginning of her confrontation with the demonic beasts, she was ambushed by a strange fish hiding in the water with a Water Arrow that hit her right leg.


    But her clothes were only torn, her skin that resembled yellow jade emitted Spiritual Light, and there wasn¡¯t even a white mark left on it.


    The third level of the Ninefold Law Body made the strength of her flesh comparable to a Rank-2 intermediate grade Defensive Magic Weapon.


    Only demonic beasts at the peak of Rank-2 could break through her defense.


    However, Zhuo Ming was unaware of her own strength. In her panic, she directly summoned the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, forming an earthen Spiritual Light outside of her Ninefold Law Body, adding another layer of defense.


    Among the sounds of ¡°bang, bang, bang¡±!


    Dozens of Water Arrows hit the earthen Spiritual Light. Two powerful ones broke through the defense, but Zhuo Ming blocked them with the back of her right hand.


    As a result, her right sleeve was torn, and two white spots appeared on the back of her hand.


    At this time, she was vaguely beginning to realize something.


    It seemed that the demonic beasts could not break her defenses.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared under the water¡¯s surface near Zhuo Ming. A strange fish with teeth as white as bone and a mouth wide enough to swallow half a person leaped out of the water, attempting to devour her.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brows slightly furrowed, ready to intervene.


    With a slicing noise!


    Zhuo Ming expressionlessly pulled out a Golden Jade Axe from her storage bag. As she infused it with Spiritual Power, she expertly chopped off the entire head of the fish.


    During the many years spent at Xiao Nanshan, what she was most adept at was slaughtering fish and chicken.


    Amidst the splattering of blood, Zhuo Ming even took the time to store the fish head in her special storage bag for ingredients, thinking to herself that she should make a soup later for her master to taste, to see how the soup of a demonic beast¡¯s head differs from that of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s fish head soup.


    These demonic beasts were nothing special; just treating them as ingredients would do!


    After slaying the strange fish, it was as if Zhuo Ming had an epiphany.


    With the Golden Jade Axe in hand and the All-things Altruistic Cauldron hovering above her head, she chopped down the approaching demonic beasts one by one with her axe.


    Chen Mobai saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a satisfied expression.


    Among his four disciples, Zhuo Ming was the one he was most worried about.


    As the true successor who would inherit his mantle, proficiency in magical duels was indispensable.


    After all, having been unbeatable across two realms and known as the Battle Law Victory, Chen Mobai would not want his successor to be somebody who was only fit for farming¨Clest they be bullied in the future.


    Now, with Zhuo Ming dispatching demonic beasts without so much as a blink, he already possessed a bit of the same demeanor that Chen Mobai had during his Qi Cultivation days, fighting fiercely across the battlegrounds of Green Light Island.


    It seemed he had been too conservative before and should have brought this treasured disciple out to see the world much sooner.


    Otherwise, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t have realized that Zhuo Ming¡¯s talent for magical duels was not insignificant.


    At the very least, he was like him in one respect¨Chis hand never wavered.


    In comparison, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s battle record was somewhat lesser. His practice of the Longevity Scripture gave him average sieging capability. However, with the Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo, the Tao Walker¡¯s Ruler, and having cultivated the first layer of the Longevity Dao Body, he was most adept at drawn-out battles.


    His figure flitted across the surface of the lake and the heads of demonic beasts were split open. By the time they saw him coming, they were already meeting darkness as their heads burst and they fell into the watery depths.


    The other disciples, Yu Lian, Tan Rong, Ding Ying, and the rest, all demonstrated the strength expected of true heirs from a grand sect at the Foundation Establishment level¨Csome handled a group alone, while others confronted other formidable Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    In contrast, those from clan backgrounds like Wang Xuan Ming were somewhat in disarray.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I¡¯m not sure how much spiritual power you¡¯ve recovered, but Brother Nu Jiang might also need our assistance,¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was observing the battlefield, suddenly heard Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s reminder.


    With a total of four Rank-3 demonic beasts surrounding the island, he had luckily been closer to this location, enabling him to relieve Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s crisis.


    But Nu Jiang was facing a similar situation.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll trouble Senior Sister to look after the people I brought, and I¡¯ll go,¡±


    Chen Mobai had expended a lot of spiritual power, but he had the Small Void created by the Returning Essence Secret Technique and twenty-six vertebrae of the All Laws Persona, all condensed from Void Stones.


    This indicated that he had twenty-six pools of spiritual power. He had just drawn from one of them to consecutively execute the seven-in-one Flame Sun Slash and the Purple Electric Sword!


    But this wasn¡¯t to say that Chen Mobai could endlessly extract spiritual power from the Small Void. He once tried depleting his spiritual power at the Immortal Gate, but due to the intensity of his Divine Consciousness, he could only draw from two at most.


    Even when tapping into the second pool of spiritual power, he had some difficulty maintaining control.


    This was the situation under rapid consumption of spiritual power in a short period. If it had been a slow and steady drainage, Chen Mobai, given his realm, could perfectly control and deplete all twenty-six pools.


    Chen Mobai had a rather favorable impression of Nu Jiang and began to slowly drain the first spiritual power pool. Then, he extracted some from a second one, replenishing the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea, before preparing to rush to the rescue.


    Just at that moment, a sky-shattering dragon¡¯s roar suddenly erupted from not far above the great island.


    Everyone¡¯s attention was immediately captivated.


    They saw the cloud dragon, which had been operating according to the Sky Waterfall Divine Light and the Wind Rain Three Element Large Formation, suddenly and unexpectedly release its colossal seven-colored cloud dragon claw.


    The cloud dragon¡¯s body was as agile as a startled swan, soaring toward the heavens.


    At the same time, the Sky Waterfall Divine Light, suppressed for a long while, began to rebound, striking toward the ascending seven-colored cloud dragon with a thunderous fury.


    Subsequent to the collision of these two titanic powers in the Nine Heavens, an explosion of terrifying might occurred that even caused Chen Mobai¡¯s expression to change subtly.


    ¡°Not good, half of the big formation¡¯s power has been detonated by the Poisonous Dragon¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s complexion changed drastically upon witnessing this.


    Chen Mobai did not know what consequences this would have, but he soon found out.


    The originally bright aqua-blue waves that shrouded the three islands of Wind Rain Hamlet began to dim, and the demonic beasts, already in chaos from the death of their leader, now all had blood-red eyes that seemed to lose all reason, furiously rushing toward Wind Rain Hamlet¡¯s formation.


    At the same time, both felt a tremendous surge of Water Spiritual Power explode in the distance like a cascade from the Nine Heavens, but it also brought with it two other shocking demonic auras.


    Chen Mobai no longer dared to delay. Transforming into a flaming rainbow, he burned away hundreds of demonic beasts in his wake as he flew toward the island where Nu Jiang was located.

 Chapter 1105 - Chapter 1105 Chapter 608 Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion

    Chapter 1105: Chapter 608 Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion Chapter 1105: Chapter 608 Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion Chen Mobai had just broken through a distance when he suddenly came to a halt.


    Looking up at the sky, he felt as if a powerful and profound gaze from above was watching him.


    Could it be the Poisonous Dragon?


    In Yun Meng Ze, the only creature capable of pressuring him was this formidable Rank-4 Demonic beast.


    When dealing with such a Rank-4 being, Chen Mobai dared not extend his Divine Sense outside his body but pushed his Void Spirit Eye to the extreme.


    He had already reached peak mastery in the Art of Spiritual Eyes, and now, with his full power, he saw clearly in all directions instantly.


    Soon, his lucid gaze caught something unusual.


    He abruptly turned his attention to the center of Yun Meng Ze, to the fog that lingered above the pool like gossamer silk.


    That lake, which seemed like a fairyland, contained a powerful evil intent capable of devouring all things.


    The mist emitted a faint rainbow hue under the sunlight¡¯s reflection on the lake, forming a pair of hollow eyes.


    It was these misty eyes, like voids, that watched over the entire Wind Rain Hamlet.


    And now, they started to watch Chen Mobai!


    Is this the Poisonous Dragon?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face grew stern, considering whether to use the Turtle Treasure to flee.


    Fortunately, though the absorbing gaze was fixed on him, the Poisonous Dragon seemed unable to break through the seal of the three Nascent Souls. Or perhaps the power unleashed when exploding the Sky Waterfall Divine Light Large Formation had drained all the strength it could exert. Chen Mobai waited for a while, but did not encounter the violent assault he had imagined.


    ¡°Not good, Brother Nu Jiang!¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly realized that he had been caught by that gaze!


    His expression shifted slightly as he suppressed the discomfort from the Poisonous Dragon¡¯s stare and immediately used the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape technique.


    Fortunately, Nu Jiang had operated the Wind Rain Hamlet for many years and mastered the use of the Sky Waterfall Divine Light. Despite the weakened strength of the Large Formation and facing two at once, he managed to hold out until Chen Mobai arrived.


    And as firelight emerged at the water¡¯s edge, the two Third Rank Demonic beasts attacking Nu Jiang joined forces, leading their kin and sweeping into the waters, escaping toward the center of Yun Meng Ze shrouded in fog.


    Flames flickered continuously as Chen Mobai crossed the void and rushed to the battlefield.


    Upon seeing the two Third Rank Demonic beasts leave, he immediately controlled seven clusters of brilliant golden fireballs and executed Flame Sun Slash, attempting to intercept them.


    An inner core of a Third Rank Demonic beast was equivalent to a Golden Core Level combat power, and it was not to be wasted at all costs.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, cough cough¡­ don¡¯t pursue a desperate enemy¡­ Further ahead is the location of Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion. The Poisonous Dragon¡¯s Divine Sense can already seep through slightly, and the closer it gets, the more power it can wield, which is very dangerous.¡±


    However, at this moment, Nu Jiang¡¯s coughing voice sounded, stopping Chen Mobai in his tracks.


    He was slightly pale, but the Sky Waterfall Divine Light around him remained bright, indicating he had yet to disengage his battle state. The entire Large Formation of Wind Rain Hamlet was connected to him, and the might and Spiritual Power he wielded even made Chen Mobai take notice.


    ¡°Brother Nu Jiang, as the master of Wind Rain Hamlet, is indeed formidable. Facing the siege of two major Demonic beasts and the suppression of a Poisonous Dragon, you¡¯ve managed to hold out for so long.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but express his admiration, seeing how Nu Jiang¡¯s weakness was due to the partial force of the Large Formation triggered by the Poisonous Dragon, shaking his Qi Sea and consciousness.


    ¡°Sigh, who knows how much longer I can hold on. The seal from the master and the two elders is gradually weakening. It won¡¯t be long before the multitude of demonic beasts in Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion can break out of their Seals.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, Nu Jiang seemed to relax, and the vast Spiritual Power he held began to subside slowly.


    Half a day later.


    On the grand island of Wind Rain Hamlet, three Golden Core Cultivators sat in the main hall, directing all the Cultivators to hunt down the remaining dispersed Demonic beasts while collecting useful body parts from the corpses.


    The most precious of all were naturally the bones of the two Third Rank Demonic beasts.


    The Demon Turtle¡¯s Turtle Shell, which the Flame Sun Slash couldn¡¯t penetrate, forced Chen Mobai to use the Purple Electric Sword to break it open, making it clear it was excellent material for Refining Defensive Magic Weapons.


    It¡¯s just a pity that the originally intact Turtle Shell was cleaved in half, greatly diminishing its Spirit nature.


    Even so, if it fell into the hands of a skilled Artifact Refiner, it could still be Refined into two excellent Magic Artifacts.


    By good fortune, The Barren¡¯s number one Artifact Refiner was present.


    Sheng Zhaoxi couldn¡¯t help but inspect the Turtle Shell and then showed a regretful expression.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it had been intact, she felt confident in Refining it into a mid to superior grade Rank-3 Defensive Shield, but now, she feared she could only Refine two Peak Rank-2 ones.


    After hearing her remarks, Chen Mobai kept silent.


    Having studied Artifact Refining skills for some years, he also considered himself a novice. According to his judgement, an intact Turtle Shell would definitely refine into a Peak Rank-3 Magic Artifact, and even now split in two, based on the principles of the Immortal Gate, two lower-grade Rank-3 shields should be no issue.


    But to save face for Sheng Zhaoxi, he could only nod in agreement with the assessment of The Barren¡¯s number one Artifact Refiner.


    ¡°Two Peak Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapons would be excellent gifts for the disciples. Junior Brother Chen, you can entrust the materials to me, but I¡¯m not familiar with the Refining Workshop here in Wind Rain Hamlet; it may take some time after I return for them to be ready for you.¡±

 Chapter 1106 - Chapter 1106 Chapter 608 Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion_2

    Chapter 1106: Chapter 608: Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion_2 Chapter 1106: Chapter 608: Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion_2 Sheng Zhaoxi generously said that within the entire Eastern Wilderness, it was only with her intervention that the two turtle shells could be refined into Rank-2 peak defensive magic artifacts.


    It was this time she owed Chen Mobai a life debt, which is why she took the initiative to speak up; otherwise, her stand as the number one artifact refiner in the Eastern Wilderness was also quite high. Even if common folk obtained complete materials like turtle shells and sought her services, she might not agree to help.


    ¡°Having you refine it would be a terrible waste!¡±


    But this thought surfaced in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, and he immediately shook his head to refuse.


    Nevertheless, he was still full of emotional intelligence, thinking of a very good excuse.


    ¡°Sister Sheng, you also suffered severe damage to your vital energy in the battle against the demonic beasts. How could I allow you to expend more energy refining magic artifacts? I plan to boil these turtle shells into a medicinal soup to replenish the body of my body refining apprentice.¡±


    Turtle shells are indeed an exceptional medicinal ingredient; whether boiled into medicinal powder or steeped in liquor, both can replenish essence blood and strengthen the heart and kidneys.


    Turtle shells of Rank-3 are a treasure that body refining cultivators dream of obtaining.


    However, many who possess such items usually refine them into magic artifacts because, after all, once you consume them as medicine, they are gone.


    ¡°That disciple who cultivated the Ninefold Law Body? That is indeed a good idea. However, these turtle shells are abundant in elemental energy and mixed with demonic power; you must be careful to dilute them when boiling.¡±


    Previously, when Chen Mobai went to rescue Nu Jiang, Sheng Zhaoxi, who had taken charge of the entire battlefield, naturally noticed Zhuo Ming, whose unique painting style was noteworthy. She couldn¡¯t stop singing her praises, thinking it befitting of Junior Brother Chen¡¯s successor¨Ccold in killing intent, merciless in execution!


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Sister.¡±


    As the two conversed, Nu Jiang finally put down the array plate that was floating in front of him.


    He called over his disciple Ji Guanhai, informing him of the damaged parts of the large formation detected through the array plate¡¯s operation, and instructed him to lead his disciples to repair them one by one.


    After Ji Guanhai left, Nu Jiang sighed deeply, took out some materials from his storage bag, and repaired a missing corner of the array plate in his hand.


    ¡°The seals outside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion will probably completely fail in at most sixty years; when that happens, it will be the time of Wind Rain Hamlet¡¯s demise.¡±


    The very center of Yun Meng Ze was the cave dwelling of the Rank-5 Yellow Dragon from the past.


    However, following the ascendance of True Lord Yuan, the cave dwelling disappeared without a trace, and no one could find the entrance to get in.


    It was only until a few hundred years ago, when the Poisonous Dragon flew out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, rampaged Yun Meng Ze with the might of a Rank-4, gathered myriad water demons, and stirred up massive waves, assaulting the shores on both sides.


    At that time, there were no Nascent Soul cultivators in either the East Barbarians or the Dongwu domain. Faced with a Rank-4 demonic beast, they could only retreat step by step, allowing it to slaughter at will.


    Although there were Nascent Soul cultivators in the East Barbarians, they were too lazy to come over and play the role of heavenly avengers, to save the common people.


    It wasn¡¯t until Sun Huangwu formed his Golden Core in the Dongwu domain that the Poisonous Dragon found an opponent.


    However, the Poisonous Dragon had inherited the legacy of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion; it had strong bloodlines and startling divine skills. After Sun Huangwu¡¯s Core Formation, they dueled seven times, and he was outmatched in each one.


    To protect the Eastern Wu Territory, the Sun family made use of the external threat of the Poisonous Dragon to incorporate all the immortal cultivation clans into their alliance. Then, along the shore, they arranged an immense Fourth Grade Superior large formation. With Sun Huangwu personally overseeing it, they finally managed to repel the Poisonous Dragon, ensuring it could not set foot in the Eastern Wu Territory.


    More than a hundred years after Sun Huangwu¡¯s Core Formation, Ancestor Hunyuan returned from his ascendance journey in the East Land.


    Together with Baiwu Ancestor from the East Barbarians, these three cultivators joined forces to try to slay the Poisonous Dragon, eradicate the water demons of Yun Meng Ze, and remove this great peril.


    The Poisonous Dragon, however, was extraordinary in strength, and also had two powerful legal treasures. It managed to form a battle formation with its followers and flee back to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, even under pursuit by three armies led by Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    Of course, Ancestor Hunyuan and the others wanted to pursue and kill it inside.


    Unfortunately, the cave dwelling left by the ascendant demonic beast contained a natural killing formation. Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s fellow disciple, Grey Feather Daoist, died within it. If the three Nascent Soul cultivators didn¡¯t retreat promptly, they likely would have been trapped inside as well.


    After escaping, the three great Nascent Soul Cultivators, to prevent the Poisonous Dragon from wreaking havoc again, joined hands to set up a massive seal outside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.


    Equivalent to sealing the door, this cave dwelling not only became a sanctuary for the Poisonous Dragon but also its prison.


    However, the power of Nascent Soul Cultivators can¡¯t remain forever.


    With the passing away in meditation of Sun Huangwu and Ancestor Hunyuan, the power of the seal, lacking replenishment, couldn¡¯t maintain its integrity after nearly a hundred years, and fissures appeared.


    This fissure was tiny, unable to let a Rank-4 being like the Poisonous Dragon squeeze through, but it could allow Rank-1 and Rank-2 Demonic beasts to escape.


    Some weaker Rank-3 Demonic beasts were also forcefully sent out by the Poisonous Dragon.


    This was the conclusion reached by observers at Nu Jiang in recent years.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it was still discovered too late. The mysterious Rank-3 Demonic beast that wreaked havoc in Yun Meng Ze over thirty years ago should be the first Rank-3 that came out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion. We thought it was a native Demonic beast of Yun Meng Ze that had advanced¡­¡±


    Nu Jiang sighed as he spoke, and Chen Mobai was reminded of his own arrival at Yun Meng Ze, when Green Light Island was destroyed due to a mysterious Rank-3 Demonic beast breaking the Formation.


    Later, Chen Mobai also asked Fu Zongjue about it, that time Fu and Mo Douguang chased the beast but let it escape into the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.


    Because they thought it was a newly advanced Demonic beast from within Yun Meng Ze, and after confirming that it had entered the sealed area and would not reappear, they relaxed their vigilance, believing that they had rooted out the trouble.


    But in recent years, as more and more Rank-3 Demonic beasts began appearing in Dongwu territory, Nu Jiang also noticed something was amiss.


    After numerous verifications, it was finally confirmed that a gap had appeared in the seal formed by the three Nascent Soul Cultivators around the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, and the Demonic beasts under the Poisonous Dragon¡¯s command were surging out one after another.


    It seemed that because Sun Huangwu died relatively early, the seals at the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion¡¯s exit facing Dongwu broke more quickly, resulting in a greater outflow of Demonic beasts.


    On the side of Wind Rain Hamlet, Ancestor Hunyuan passed away several decades later, so the seals were still relatively intact, with few Demonic beasts squeezing through.


    It is also thanks to Dongwu that they withstood the pressure and their defensive lines did not collapse under the onslaught of Demonic beasts.


    Otherwise, Wind Rain Hamlet might have already fallen.


    After all, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness is actually less than that in Dongwu.


    Especially since Ji Zhenshi and Librarian Nan were cut down, the situation where the previous seven sects harmoniously co-developed Yun Meng Ze completely collapsed, and only the Five Elements Sect and Divine Wood Sect were left to shoulder the responsibility!


    ¡°We will hold out for as long as possible. If Wind Rain Hamlet fails, Dongwu will have to bear pressure from both sides, which will be even tougher,¡± Sheng Zhaoxi said with a helpless expression on her face.


    There are so few Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Ye hardly leaves Hunyuan Immortal City, and in recent years, Divine Wood Sect has been on a killing spree, causing Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace to band together for warmth. Back then, we really didn¡¯t expect the seals of Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to fail so quickly, putting all the pressure on her and Nu Jiang.


    Thankfully, Divine Wood Sect still cared about ties to the same sect, or perhaps they understood the grave consequences should Wind Rain Hamlet fall. Over the years, they have sent many Foundation Establishment and True Disciples to help.

    This time, faced with the Rank-3 Demonic beasts¡¯ siege, Sect Leader Chen Mobai personally led a team, helping to stabilize the situation.


    ¡°Very soon, Brother Fu will bring disciples from our sword training and spirit beast departments. Brother Mo is in closed-door cultivation, but four of the twelve sword wielders have already set out with their own disciples,¡±


    Chen Mobai shared the news he knew, and this allowed Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi to breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that after our master passed away, the favors from Baiwu Ancestor faded. If he was willing to come and reinforce the seal, Dongwu and the Eastern Wilderness would not have to bear such enormous pressure,¡±


    Sheng Zhaoxi mentioned another private matter, having once gone to the Sun Bathing Sea to request Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s presence in Yun Meng Ze in hopes that he would personally come. However, she was flatly rejected.


    ¡°We still need our own Nascent Soul Cultivator, whether it¡¯s Dongwu or the Eastern Wilderness. Just one would suffice,¡±


    Nu Jiang let out a sigh. Ever since his Core Formation, he had been stationed at the great formation of Wind Rain Hamlet, deeply longing for release.


    Upon hearing his words, Chen Mobai felt an irresistible urge rising within him.

 Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107 Chapter 609 Significant Increase of the Water

    Chapter 1107: Chapter 609: Significant Increase of the Water Spirit Root Chapter 1107: Chapter 609: Significant Increase of the Water Spirit Root [Gold 23, Wood 45, Water 21, Fire 84, Earth 20]


    After finishing the fish soup prepared by Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai checked his own Spiritual Root with the Spirit-Testing Instruments and couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    The Water Spirit Root had increased by 5 points, the source being the ingredients from the demonic beasts of Yun Meng Ze.


    He had been stationed at the Wind Rain Hamlet for a month now. Ever since he had slain those two Rank-3 demonic beasts, the creatures emerging from the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, although no longer mounting large-scale attacks against Wind Rain Hamlet, were still wreaking havoc in various other islands and markets within Yun Meng Ze.


    In the face of this situation, the three Golden Core Cultivators, including himself, had no good solution, and could only dispatch Foundation Establishment Practitioners under their command to support the various markets affiliated with their Sects.


    After giving it some thought, aside from keeping Zhuo Ming by his side, Chen Mobai sent out everyone else he had brought along, to guard the markets on the islands that had been developed in Yun Meng Ze by the Divine Wood Sect over the years.


    But even so, the manpower was still insufficient.


    Thanks to the years of fighting in every direction, the Divine Wood Sect had established itself as the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness and had also brought under its control the marketplaces of Shake Mountain Peak and Liu Jia Mountain within Yun Meng Ze, significantly increasing its territory.


    Currently in Yun Meng Ze, there were a total of thirty-eight markets belonging to the Divine Wood Sect.


    They occupied almost half of the core area.


    These markets, by renting out Spiritual Qi Cave Houses, selling Sect elixirs, magic artifacts, Spirit Rice, etc., and by buying and selling demonic beast materials, generated net profits varying from fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones, and in some cases, as much as several hundred thousand¨Ca considerable income.


    Besides the ones under direct control, there were nearly twenty markets developed by Foundation Establishment families affiliated with the Divine Wood Sect, located on islands near the shoreline. These were basically joint ventures with various countries¡¯ town guards, mutually assisting in development.


    For example, the Iron Blue Market, although the Divine Wood Sect did not take a cut, relied on the transportation arrays within these markets to construct an integrated commerce network throughout Yun Meng Ze, greatly facilitating the transport of goods between Sects.


    Therefore, they could not allow these island markets to be overrun by demonic beasts and, if possible, needed to send assistance.


    The Divine Wood Sect normally had ten Foundation Establishment Practitioners stationed in Yun Meng Ze, and even with those Chen Mobai brought, it wasn¡¯t possible to have one Foundation Establishment Practitioner guarding each market.


    But facing the demonic beasts roaming within Yun Meng Ze, not knowing which island market they would attack next, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner¡¯s presence was essential.


    In such cases, even if they faced an attack by demonic beasts, they would be able to unleash the full power of the island¡¯s defensive large formation, holding on until additional cultivators from nearby markets could arrive to provide support.


    Upon hearing about these circumstances from Zheng Deming, an old Foundation Establishment Practitioner of the Divine Wood Sect who had been stationed in Yun Meng Ze for almost a lifetime, Chen Mobai made a decisive decision to have the tribes from Rain Country, Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Sky Country, who had originally been setting up defenses along the shoreline, choose a market to be responsible for, leaving behind only one Foundation Establishment Practitioner and dispatching the rest to guard nearby markets.


    The guards from the four nations naturally obeyed the order and had personally led their teams into Yun Meng Ze!


    King Zhou Wangshen of the Sky Country was especially enthusiastic, as his vanguard had already been stationed within the Iron Blue Market.


    Upon receiving the Sect Leader¡¯s order, he immediately led his people into the Su Feng Island Market closest to Wind Rain Hamlet and even made a special trip to visit Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai invited him to stay for a meal, with Zhuo Ming personally taking charge of cooking, and even opened a jar of Spiritual Wine.


    After deploying the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the four nations, the twenty-eight markets of the Divine Wood Sect had barely managed to stabilize the situation.


    During this period, three Fang Markets indeed faced large-scale attacks by groups of demonic beasts. Thanks to the rapid spread of the news, nearby markets supported each other with mutual defense. After experiencing fierce battles, they managed to hold their ground.


    However, intelligence was present among the demonic beasts as well. After three attacks on the islands, they discovered the alliance between the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s markets.


    In another attack on the island, they employed a strategy to lure the enemy away from their base. When the Foundation Establishment practitioners from Jingbo Island went to provide support elsewhere, the demonic beasts suddenly emerged from underwater. Led by five Rank-2 beasts, they directly shook the island¡¯s spirit veins and breached the large formation.


    Although Chen Mobai received the news later and personally tracked this group of demonic beasts near Jingbo Island, he only found two Rank-2 beasts leading their groups. Even after annihilating them, he couldn¡¯t reverse the loss of the entire island market being flattened.


    Time flew, and a year passed by quickly.


    Chen Mobai had almost devoured all the demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, and his Water Spirit Root had also been enhanced to 35 points.


    Even within the Immortal Gates, this was considered a decent value.


    The only regret was that the situation in Yun Meng Ze was tense, and as a Golden Core Cultivator, his responsibilities were significant, so he did not dare to leave even for a moment.


    Therefore, he had not gone to the Divine Wood Secret Realm to touch the Talent Tree.


    But for him, this was a simple gap to fill, after all, the Tianhe Realm was vast and rich in resources, and there were definitely many heavenly and earthly treasures that could enhance his Spiritual Root. He was also cultivating the Pure Yang Body, and there would eventually be a chance to obtain the remaining twenty-four grand spells.


    ¡°Junior Brother, Brother Mo has arrived!¡±


    At this moment, Fu Zongjue¡¯s voice transmission reached Chen Mobai¡¯s ears, prompting him to immediately put down the freshly simmered turtle shell soup prepared by Zhuo Ming.


    By the time Chen Mobai came out, both He Jintong and Fu Zongjue were already waiting outside the teleportation array.


    Previously, Sheng Zhaoxi had a fierce battle with two Rank-3 demonic beasts, and not only did he use a secret technique, but he also took spiritual medicine. Although he saved his life, he had suffered severe damage to his vital energy and went back to his Flame Country¡¯s Fire Truth Palace to heal after Fu Zongjue and the Divine Wood Sect members arrived.


    After Sheng Zhaoxi left, Chen Mobai still cited the overpowering momentum of the demonic beasts and the insufficient strength of both the Five Elements and Divine Wood sects as an excuse, inviting Yan Shaoyin from Back to Sky Valley and Kong Lingling from the Snow-blowing Palace to Wind Rain Hamlet for assistance.


    Unfortunately, both were more cowardly than he expected, preferring to let their own markets in Yun Meng Ze, which they had worked hard to develop, be besieged by demonic beasts rather than coming over.


    However, they did have some shame; at least the Foundation Establishment members they had left in Yun Meng Ze were not ordered to retreat.


    Or maybe, they also did not want to give up on the benefits of Yun Meng Ze.


    He Jintong from Back to Sky Valley proved to be competent. Seeing the rampage of Cloud Dream Marsh monsters and knowing that the Divine Wood and Five Elements sects could only protect themselves and could not be relied upon, he immediately abandoned seven peripheral islands. He led six Foundation Establishment brothers and sisters to tightly guard the core three markets and three islands where precious spiritual medicines were cultivated.


    And before abandoning the island markets, they took everything valuable with them, destroying anything they couldn¡¯t carry, leaving nothing for the demonic beasts.


    In the end, the six islands that He Jintong guarded were not far from each other. Although they were attacked by demonic beasts twice, they managed to hold on by relying on the disciples of Back to Sky Valley and recruiting loose cultivators, among others.


    Compared to Back to Sky Valley, the Snow-blowing Palace suffered much worse.


    Kong Lingling had previously only sent four Foundation Establishment practitioners here.


    During the onslaught of the demonic beasts, the leading late-phase Foundation Establishment practitioner was indecisive and unwilling to abandon all the markets. In the end, the distribution of their forces led to successive breaches by the demonic beasts.


    By the time she realized it and wanted to draw back her power, two Foundation Establishment practitioners had already died in the defense of the island, outnumbered and overwhelmed by several Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    Even she had used all her trump cards in a desperate attempt to escape with her life.


    In the end, of the nine Fang Markets of the Snow-blowing Palace, only the most central one remained.


    It too was under constant attack by the demonic beasts, with the defense large formation on the brink of collapse.


    ¡°Xue Ting, this is the sect¡¯s last stronghold; we must not lose it at any cost,¡±


    The late-Phase Foundation Establishment practitioner was named Qi Cuizhen; her right arm had been devoured by a strange fish, her complexion pale.


    After gathering all the Spirit Stones and other precious items on the island into her Storage Bag, she boarded the Teleportation Array to leave first, handing over the responsibility of guarding the island to Xue Ting, the last Foundation Establishment practitioner.


    However, after half a year of defending, Xue Ting finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer.


    Seeing the island defense formation beginning to shatter, she could only grit her teeth, leading the few dozen remaining disciples of the Snow-blowing Palace into the Teleportation Array, pumping in spiritual power hoping to escape.


    But after waiting a while, the Teleportation Array showed no response.


    Xue Ting¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she tried again twice.


    Still the same!


    She finally realized, the other side of the Teleportation Array had been sabotaged!


    Who did it?


    Qi Cuizhen?


    Or the sect?


    A wave of despair flooded Xue Ting¡¯s heart; they had exhausted their last strength for the sect in Cloud Dream Marsh, defending this last stronghold.


    Yet what they received in return was betrayal!


    ¡°Uncle-Master, does the sect not want us anymore?¡±


    A girl with baby-fat cheeks realized the implication of the inactive Teleportation Array.


    Her eyes were filled with disbelief, grief, and anger.


    ¡°We¡­¡±


    Boom!


    Just as Xue Ting was about to say something to comfort them, the ice and snow-colored barrier covering the island, under the relentless assault of countless demonic beasts, finally shattered completely.


    ¡°My fellow disciples, scatter and run for your lives; save whoever can be saved!¡±


    Xue Ting could only say these last words before mounting her white Flying Sword and ascending into the sky, heading eastward.


    Their island was not too far from the coasts of Yun Country and Lei Nation, which was precisely why this Teleportation Array could directly transport them onto shore.


    With the speed of a Foundation Establishment practitioner like Xue Ting, as long as she could hold on for three days, she would reach the shore.


    But after consective battles with demonic beasts, her spiritual power was less than sixty percent; she knew she couldn¡¯t hold out that long.


    And for certain, there would be demonic beasts pursuing her.


    Thus, she chose to head in the direction of the closest Divine Wood Sect Fang Market.


    It was an island that had been rebuilt, named Green Light!


    She had visited it twice before.


    As long as she could make it there¡­


    Clutching that belief, Xue Ting¡¯s Flying Sword flew even more urgently. But soon, a streak of blue wind surged through the midair attempting to intercept her.


    It was a Rank-2 Black Plague Bird; on the water¡¯s surface, a strange fish was cutting through the waves as well.


    Strong demonic auras from both locked onto Xue Ting, clearly unwilling to let her escape.


    Wind Blades and Water Arrows crisscrossed through the air and water, forcing Xue Ting to constantly change speed and direction to dodge.


    Under such circumstances, she was quickly overtaken by the two Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    Xue Ting bit down on her silver teeth and took an elixir that would overdraw her vital energies, restoring her spiritual power to its peak. Then she used her Flying Sword to clash with the two demonic beasts while struggling towards Green Light Island.


    Finally, after half a day, she saw the outline of Green Light Island.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Foundation Establishment practitioner on the island noticed as well and immediately a burst of Divine Sense surged out to ascertain the truth.


    ¡°Who goes there?¡±


    Xue Ting immediately reported her identity swiftly, stating she was a Snow-blowing Palace sect member, and their market had been breached, hoping the Divine Wood Sect could lend assistance.


    ¡°Sorry, we cannot allow any Foundation Establishment practitioners of unknown origin into the island during wartime,¡±


    But the Divine Wood Sect practitioner stationed on Green Light Island simply refused outright and then withdrew his Divine Sense.


    At that moment, Xue Ting was utterly desperate!

 Chapter 1108 - Chapter 1108 Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound

    Chapter 1108: Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound Chapter 1108: Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound Over the Wind Rain Hamlet, Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang hovered in the sky, their sword light crisscrossing under the command of their sword fingers, varying in hues.


    The golden sword light was like burning flames, flickering and casting a heat that caused mist to rise from the water¡¯s surface, refracting light like a dazzling rainbow.


    As Chen Mobai focused his thoughts, he pushed the power of the Flame Sun Slash to the utmost, and in an instant, it fell before Mo Douguang.


    However, Mo Douguang¡¯s tranquil eyes twinkled with a sharp gleam, and then he raised his right index finger and gently waved it at Chen Mobai.


    A cyan-white sword light released slightly later, and before the Flame Sun Slash could even touch Mo Douguang, it had already sliced past Chen Mobai¡¯s cheek, cutting off a lock of hair.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s face burst into a swirl of multicolored clouds, the automatic protective function of the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± but Mo Douguang¡¯s sword light had already passed by.


    Simultaneously, Chen Mobai¡¯s ears heard a thunderous boom from the void.


    Is this the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound?


    Indeed, it¡¯s impossibly fast to react to!


    But this was mainly because Chen Mobai wanted to personally experience such a realm; otherwise, with his full focus on the Void Spirit Eye, he still could have used the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape to evade.


    Yet, this required an intense concentration, to judge the trajectory of Mo Douguang¡¯s sword light in the moment it burst forth, ensuring that his own escape path didn¡¯t intersect with the sword light.


    ¡°Brother Mo has achieved Grand Mastery in Sword Dao; truly invincible within the Eastern Wilderness,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    After a round of sword training, Chen Mobai laughed heartily as he retracted the Flame Sun Slash and together with Mo Douguang, descended toward the Wind Rain Hamlet.


    ¡°Congratulations, Brother Mo.¡±


    Fu Zongjue and others who had witnessed the entire duel between the two great sword cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness were also delighted. With Mo Douguang¡¯s strong support, as long as the Poisonous Dragon didn¡¯t come in person, the Wind Rain Hamlet would remain as steady as Mount Tai.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that, Junior Brother, you would also be moving ahead of us,¡± Nu Jiang commented with a myriad of emotions, recalling the days when they were disciples of Ancestor Hunyuan. He and Sheng Zhaoxi were stuck in the mid Foundation Establishment stage, while Zhou Shengqing and Zhou Ye were in the late Core Formation stage, and now they had Mo Douguang as well.


    Moreover, Mo Douguang had also mastered the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    To think that even in his lifetime, Ancestor Hunyuan, famed for his prodigious talents, had only achieved so much in the Sword Dao Realm.


    After Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound, comes Condensing Sword into Thread, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws. These are the peaks of Sword Dao that even Nascent Soul Cultivators might not be able to achieve.


    ¡°Although Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound is strong, it still has no power when facing a Nascent Soul,¡± Mo Douguang said calmly.


    In response, those who knew his character merely smiled slightly.


    ¡°With your Core Formation Late Stage, Junior Brother Mo, and mastery of the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound realm, I wonder how much chance you have against Sun Huangji?¡± Nu Jiang suddenly raised a question.


    Sun Huangji was renowned as the number one expert of East Wu Territory, reaching perfect Core Formation in just sixty years and the next Huangwu in the World. Zhou Shengqing had once dueled Sun Huangji and only managed a draw by relying on the powerful defense of the Longevity Scripture.


    However, Zhou Shengqing later admitted that it was because they couldn¡¯t use secret techniques and magic artifacts during their sparring. If Sun Huangji truly let loose and utilized the Fourth-grade Magical Weapon left by Sun Huangwu, harnessed by his bloodline, Zhou Shengqing would have been thoroughly defeated.


    Sun Huangji was so renowned that even the East Barbarians knew of him. In his youth, he even traveled to the East Land, where his outstanding talent attracted the attention of a reclusive elder of a grand sect who took him in.


    Unfortunately, after Sun Huangwu passed away in meditation, Sun Huangji left the grand sect of East Land and returned to Dongwu to continue the family lineage.


    Zhou Shengqing speculated that Sun Huangwu must have left behind resources for forming a Nascent Soul, which was why Sun Huangji returned from the East Land.


    Despite the grand sects of East Land sounding prestigious, the internal competition for disciples and resources was extremely fierce.


    Returning to Dongwu, Sun Huangji took over the territory forged by Sun Huangwu and was able to gather more resources to aid his Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Without having fought, I can¡¯t say for sure, but if Sun Huangji doesn¡¯t use his Fourth-grade Magical Weapon, I don¡¯t believe I will lose,¡± Mo Douguang declared with calm confidence.


    Sword Cultivators grow increasingly formidable as they progress; even before reaching his current cultivation level and Sword Dao Realm, Mo Douguang was already acknowledged as the foremost sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, having cut down Ji Zhenshi and Nan Shidao. Now, having mastered Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound and reaching the peak of the Core Formation late stage, he could be considered top tier among all cultivators below Nascent Soul.


    But this was only within the realm of Core Formation.


    If confronted with a force of Rank-4, most sword cultivators, known for their offensive prowess but weaker defenses, would meet their end in despair.

    ¡°With Brother Mo stationed here, I can return with peace of mind,¡± Chen Mobai said with a smile. In fact, ever since he had killed two Rank-3 demonic beasts, the situation in the Yun Meng Ze of the Eastern Wilderness had stabilized, with the Wind Rain Hamlet being free from large-scale attacks by demonic beasts for quite a while.


    It was only the outlying islands and Fang Markets that were being sporadically attacked by the dispersed demonic beasts.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai felt staying here was a bit of a waste of time.


    However, without his presence, should they once again face an assault from Rank-3 demonic beasts, just Nu Jiang and Fu Zongjue might not hold up.


    Thus, he had been somewhat stuck here, and if it weren¡¯t for Zhuo Ming venturing out daily to hunt various exquisite and fresh foods for him to enjoy, he would have found it hard to stay.

 Chapter 1109 - Chapter 1109 Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound_2

    Chapter 1109: Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound_2 Chapter 1109: Chapter 610 Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound_2 Now that Mo Douguang was here, Chen Mobai could finally leave with peace of mind.


    ¡°During this past year, Junior Brother Chen has worked hard.¡±


    When it was time to leave, Nu Jiang came to see him off and earnestly thanked him. He even specially prepared a peck of pearls as a thank-you gift.


    These were a specialty of Yun Meng Ze, containing water spirit qi of the purest essence. In the Eastern Wilderness, they were equivalent to spirit stones; moreover, due to the gentle nature of their spiritual energy, easy to absorb, they were more precious than spirit stones in the eyes of cultivators with specific attributes in their cultivation techniques.


    The peck of pearls from Nu Jiang were naturally of the highest intermediate grade, each one equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone.


    After declining twice, Chen Mobai naturally accepted them as a matter of course.


    When he stowed them away in his storage bag, he counted them with his divine sense, a total of eighty-eight, a very auspicious number indeed.


    ¡°Farewell, my three senior brothers!¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily with Nu Jiang, Mo Douguang, and Fu Zongjue, and then, along with Zhuo Ming and Jiang Zongheng, they entered the central grand hall of Wind Rain Hamlet.


    This was one of the only two medium transporting formations in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Leading them was Ji Guanhai, a true disciple of Nu Jiang, who explained in detail to Chen Mobai the functions of this teleportation array.


    ¡°Uncle-Master Chen, in theory, this medium transporting formation can connect to any small teleportation array of the border countries near Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    The words from Ji Guanhai surprised Chen Mobai slightly. Wasn¡¯t this to say that through Wind Rain Hamlet¡¯s teleportation array, the Five Elements Sect could have direct access to the territory of the Divine Wood Sect?


    ¡°However, this requires the reception of the small teleportation array on the other side. The Nascent Soul ancestors are all aware of this matter, and when they divided the families back then, it was agreed that only the border fang markets of Rain Country and Yun Country would be open to this medium transporting formation. This was also a demand by Ancestor Zhou Shengqing back in the day, as it could save a lot of transportation time by utilizing this medium transporting formation.¡±


    After hearing Ji Guanhai¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    ¡°Please choose your destination, Uncle-Master Chen!¡±


    After the introduction, Ji Guanhai pointed to a large map hanging on the wall, which depicted the whole territory of the Eastern Wilderness. Within Rain Country and Yun Country, there were six red dots, marking the fang markets to which they could choose to directly teleport.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go to Southstream Market!¡±


    Seeing the familiar name, Chen Mobai chose it immediately, his own Land of Dragon Prosperity, and then stepped into the medium transporting formation with his two disciples.


    The rest of the Foundation Establishment practitioners he had brought along, including Ding Ying, were left behind in Yun Meng Ze, waiting for the end of this massive surge of demonic beasts before returning.


    After hearing his selection, Ji Guanhai immediately nodded, placing a piece of void stone into a specific slot.


    Soon, the silver radiance began to light up, enveloping Chen Mobai and his two disciples, and transporting them toward Southstream Market.


    ¡­


    In the skies above Green Light Island!


    Xue Ting probed into her storage bag with her divine sense, wanting to see if she had any talismans or elixirs left. Her intense desire to survive, despite her spiritual power being down to its last 10%, and her flying sword cracked with a crevice, kept her valiantly battling with two rank-2 demonic beasts.


    But at this moment, she was truly at her wits¡¯ end.


    With a clang! Her flying sword, after taking yet another blow from a wind blade and thunderous strike, finally broke apart completely.


    Her pallid cheeks showed a look of desperation as she consumed her last pill that restored spiritual power. Then, with great care, she took out a red ribbon from around her neck.


    Tied to the red ribbon was a talisman.


    It was a gift from Chen Mobai when Xue Ting had completed her studies at Xiao Nanshan and was leaving.


    An intermediate-grade, rank-2 Purple Fire Sword Talisman.


    She had always kept this talisman as her most precious treasure, and she would never have used it if she hadn¡¯t found herself completely exhausted and facing death.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, assist me!¡±


    After silently invoking the name, Xue Ting followed the method etched in her memory by Chen Mobai, transforming her spiritual power to activate the Purple Fire Sword Talisman.


    In the midst of roaring waves, the rank-2 demonic beast in the water, with its gaping maw, leaped high, poised to swallow the frail girl whole.


    A strand of purple light ignited within Xue Ting¡¯s palm, which in the next instant, burst into a dazzling purple flame. Like a column of purple fire connecting heaven and earth, it sliced into the open mouth of the rank-2 strange fish.


    With a bang!


    The demonic beast, whose scales had been impervious to Xue Ting¡¯s flying sword, exploded into pieces under the Purple Fire Sword Talisman, turning into a cloud of blood and flesh.


    These remnants were alight with a purple glow, quickly giving off the scent of roasted fish before turning charred black, and by the time they fell to the water¡¯s surface, they had already become heaps upon heaps of ash.


    Merely a single talisman had killed a Rank-2 demonic beast!


    Upon seeing this, Xue Ting¡¯s respect and awe for Chen Mobai surged like a towering mountain. After all, when she received this talisman, Sect Master Chen had not yet reached Core Formation.


    Yet, even the talisman refined by him in the Foundation Building Realm was still capable of instantly killing a Rank-2 demonic beast, which truly attested to his reputation as an unparalleled genius in the Sword Dao!


    However, death was still imminent.


    After using this cherished Sword Talisman she had kept for over twenty years, the last of the spiritual power in Xue Ting¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea was depleted.


    If she hadn¡¯t taken an elixir earlier that was gradually restoring her strength, she¡¯d probably be unable to fly by now, and would have fallen into the water.


    A fierce shout echoed as she lifted her head to see a Rank-2 Black Plague Bird nearby, seemingly enraged by the death of its companion.


    But it also feared that Xue Ting might have a second talisman just as powerful, so it did not rashly approach. Instead, it used its Innate Divine Ability again, condensing Wind Thunder into a green blade.


    Amidst the piercing howl, the green blades that the Black Plague Bird slashed with its wings were already crossing through the air towards Xue Ting.


    I hope in my next life, I can become a disciple of Sect Master Chen!


    In the moments before her death, this was the wish that emerged in Xue Ting¡¯s mind.


    A faint smile appeared on her lips, her eyes closed as she prepared to face her own demise.


    Whirl!


    Just then, the sound of water coalescing rang in her ears, followed by the collision of two streams of spiritual power, as a powerful current pushed Xue Ting away.


    And soon, a surge of water rose to support Xue Ting¡¯s backward-falling body.


    ¡°Where did you get this Sword Talisman?¡±


    A clear and melodious voice sounded by Xue Ting¡¯s ear. She opened her eyes and saw a young girl in a long dress, with a delicate jade belt tied around her waist, standing in mid-air, her figure as graceful and fluid as water.


    She extended her right hand and used the Water Controlling Technique, protecting Xue Ting within a Water Elemental Shield.


    ¡°It was bestowed upon me by Sect Master Chen of your sect.¡±


    In such a dire situation, Xue Ting naturally clung to this last straw. Seeing the girl with bright, spiritual eyes remaining silent, she immediately recounted her experience of learning Fire Spirit Rice planting at Xiao Nanshan before her Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Do you know Senior Sister Zhuo?¡±


    The delicate girl asked a question, to which Xue Ting nodded, indicating that when she was studying on South Mountain, Chen Mobai was preoccupied with secluded cultivation, and it was mostly Zhuo Ming who imparted the skills to her as they became close friends.


    ¡°Then you must know how many layers there are in Senior Sister Zhuo¡¯s wine cellar, right?¡±


    ¡°When I left, Senior Sister Zhuo had just dug down to the third layer. When I came over to your sect to present a gift during Sect Master Chen¡¯s Core Formation ceremony, I spoke with Senior Sister Zhuo, and she said that she had dug down to the sixth layer, but I¡¯m not quite sure how many there are now.¡±


    After hearing Xue Ting¡¯s response, the delicate girl finally nodded.


    At that moment, the Rank-2 Black Plague Bird launched another Wind Thunder Green Blade, but Xue Ting¡¯s body was already being taken by the young girl through the defense shield of Green Light Island and into the protection range of the Large Formation.


    With a bang, the demonic beast¡¯s attack was shattered.


    Afterward, as the Black Plague Bird hesitantly hovered above Green Light Island, a pure and brilliant beam of Sacred Tree Divine Light shot into the sky, accurately predicting its flight path and directly vaporizing the Rank-2 demonic beast into a mist of blood.

    ¡°Thank you for your help, Senior Sister. May I ask your honorable name?¡±


    Though Xue Ting was weak, she still retained her manners and gave a respectful nod to the spiritual and delicate girl.


    ¡°My name is Gu Yan. If we¡¯re talking about the time of Foundation Establishment, you can call me Junior Sister.¡±


    Gu Yan gently bowed in return.


    She too had once served alongside Chen Mobai and happened to recognize the Purple Fire Sword Talisman.

 Chapter 1110 - Chapter 1110 Chapter 611 Breakthrough

    Chapter 1110: Chapter 611: Breakthrough Chapter 1110: Chapter 611: Breakthrough ¡°Zong Heng, it was here that Ming¡¯er and I passed the Sect¡¯s assessment and selection,¡±


    After arriving at South Creek Market, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but start reminiscing about the past, sharing his memories with Jiang Zongheng.


    By his side, the Foundation Establishment practitioners from the four major families of South Creek Market had all come, respectfully following him and listening to him instruct his disciple.


    After a while, Chen Mobai, who was leading the way, stopped in his tracks and then waved to Liu Jingxian.


    Amidst the envious gazes of the other three Foundation Establishment practitioners, Liu Jingxian suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and quickly walked to the side of Chen Mobai and his two disciples.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    ¡°No need for such formality. How is the upgrade of your family¡¯s Spirit Field enterprise going?¡±


    As a family of disciples hailing from the Sect, and a designated partner for the Divine Wood Sect in expanding the Spirit Rice market, Chen Mobai paid close attention to the Liu family. During his previous inspection tour of the six countries, he had even personally helped them plan the development of a new Spirit Field.


    ¡°Very well, following Sect Master Chen¡¯s guidance, I led the family cultivators to integrate the new and old Spirit Fields. The Rank-1 fields are now sown annually. As for the Rank-2 fields, we divided them into four sections, sowing crops in sequence to avoid the over-demand of earth qi when Rank-2 Spirit Rice matures, which could damage the essence of the Spirit Fields.¡±


    ¡°Seven years have gone by, and now the family is able to harvest a large amount of Rank-1 Spirit Rice every year, as well as 3,000 catties of Rank-2 Spirit Rice. All of these are in high demand, especially the Rank-2 Spirit Rice. Families from Yun Country and even those from neighboring countries with Foundation Establishment practitioners come over to reserve it in advance.¡±


    ¡°This year¡¯s Rank-2 paddy rice is also maturing nicely, and I¡¯ve had someone slaughter a Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp; Sect Master Chen and the two distinguished disciples might as well dine at my Liu family¡¯s establishment.¡±


    With Liu Jingxian making such an offer, how could Chen Mobai refuse?


    ¡°Zong Heng probably hasn¡¯t tasted Azure Blood Carp before; this was the first delicacy of the immortal cultivator that I had the chance to enjoy,¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile to his disciple, considering himself very lucky.


    After coming to the Tianhe Realm, within the Water Mansion, he had obtained Azure Blood Carps and Jade bamboo shoots, both ingredients capable of enhancing the Spiritual Root.


    Jiang Zongheng, knowing that Liu Jingxian was from his senior brother¡¯s family, also expressed his thanks very politely.


    As they headed towards the dining hall of the Liu family in South Creek Market, a disciple from the Divine Wood Sect suddenly came over, apparently with something to report.


    Fei Liang, the person in charge of the Sect in the market, immediately went to liaise with the messenger, then hurried back.


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s quite a coincidence. Then let¡¯s invite them to join us for the meal,¡±


    After hearing the news, Chen Mobai said to Fei Liang, who nodded and immediately went to carry out the Sect Master¡¯s command.


    The Divine Wood Sect disciple who had initially come to report was then called over by Fei Liang to follow alongside Chen Mobai and his group.


    The visitor was a slim but tall youth who radiated a scholarly air, with deep-set eyes that left a lasting impression.


    ¡°You must be Shen Wei. I didn¡¯t expect you to have grown so much,¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming, looking at the young man, recognized him and couldn¡¯t help but speak up.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Uncle-Master Zhuo to remember me.¡±


    The youth, named Shen Wei, was a disciple who had passed the assessment in South Creek Market alongside Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming in the same year, and he possessed exceptional Spiritual Root Talent.


    Unfortunately, he was too young at that time, so Yuan Chiye left a token with Shen Wei¡¯s Loose Cultivator parents, allowing them to give it directly to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s emissary during the next recruitment to directly admit their son without examination.


    Zhuo Ming, being nostalgic, had a lasting impression of that year¡¯s cohort from South Creek Market.


    ¡°You¡¯ve reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation; work hard, strive to become a true transmission disciple in the next Sect competition for the Foundation Building Pill, and bring honor to our generation of disciples.¡±


    ¡°I am but dull-witted, not daring to compare with the Sect Master and the various uncles and senior uncles,¡±


    Shen Wei said humbly, repeatedly waving his hand to downplay Zhuo Ming¡¯s words.


    That year¡¯s cohort, aside from the unrivalled genius Chen Mobai, also had Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, Liu Wenbo, and Zhuo Ming ¡ª four Foundation Establishments hailed as the greatest honor in the hundred years since the establishment of South Creek Market.


    It was for this reason that many Loose Cultivators heading to Yun Meng Ze chose to rest and recuperate in this South Creek Market.


    Reminded by Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai also remembered who Shen Wei was. Since fate had brought them together, he offered a few pointers, deeply moving the latter.


    In all of the Eastern Wilderness, everyone knew that Sect Master Chen was an excellent mentor. Anyone who received his advice was guaranteed at least a breakthrough.


    And Shen Wei had been stuck at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation for quite a while.


    In the middle of the instruction, Fei Liang arrived with two beautiful female cultivators where Chen Mobai was to dine.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Both Gu Yan and Xue Ting greeted him respectfully.


    ¡°Ah, your injury is quite serious,¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation, he could tell at a glance the condition of Xue Ting.


    Despite her attempts to hide it, the symptoms of depleted Spiritual Power and waning vitality were very evident.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Xue Ting did not conceal her circumstances, sharing her experience in Cloud Dream Swamp.


    ¡°Pass my order, have Dong Xuanze look into this matter,¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Fei Liang, who nodded and promptly excused himself to carry out the Sect Master¡¯s directive. Following that, Chen Mobai signaled Xue Ting to step forward and extend her hand for a closer examination of her injuries.


    ¡°Injured to the core; that¡¯s a bit problematic,¡±


    After taking her pulse, Chen Mobai frowned slightly.


    ¡°Master, what should we do now?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who was worried, asked. She and Xue Ting were good friends, and hearing this, she couldn¡¯t help but grip Xue Ting¡¯s hand with a sigh.

 Chapter 1111 - Chapter 1111 Chapter 611 Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 1111: Chapter 611 Breakthrough_2 Chapter 1111: Chapter 611 Breakthrough_2 In the Eastern Wilderness, damage to the origin is basically incurable.


    For instance, if one loses ten percent of their origin, even if their body recovers, a cultivator¡¯s spiritual power could only be restored to ninety percent.


    The remaining ten percent would be irrecoverable.


    Even if one¡¯s realm improved later on, and their spiritual power became stronger, the lost ten percent of the origin would never be regained.


    Of course, it¡¯s not that there are absolutely no ways to deal with it.


    Some precious heavenly and earthly treasures can repair the origin.


    For example, the Three Lights Divine Water from Star Heaven Dao Sect is known to be omnipotent.


    Another example is an alchemy recipe called ¡°Sun Bathing¡± from the Sun Bathing Sea, which is specifically designed for situations of origin damage.


    But for Xue Ting, both of these were precious items that were impossible to obtain.


    ¡°Being able to survive is already very fortunate for me. I have to thank Gu Shimai for this,¡± she said.


    However, Xue Ting seemed to accept her situation, or perhaps cultivators from the Tianhe Realm had already prepared for this when they first began cultivation.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, cultivators who have not fought using their origin are few and far between.


    ¡°During this time, niece Xue, you should not use your spiritual power. Ming¡¯er, take good care of her. Once I return, I¡¯ll look into some relevant literature and see if there are other methods,¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that the Immortal Gate definitely had a way, but he wasn¡¯t a professional doctor and thus hesitated to make any guarantees.


    Xue Ting naturally thanked him with a deep bow, and after Chen Mobai gestured for her to rise, he asked about Gu Yan.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be in Rain Country?¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, because of the great battle in Cloud Dream Ze, brother Hong He recruited me. Since Yun Country¡¯s sect does not have enough Foundation Establishment Practitioners, they sent me to guard the Green Light Island Market,¡±


    Gu Yan replied truthfully. Compared to the three people, Zhou Wangshen, Hong He, and E Yun, the other three major Town Guard forces were indeed much weaker, and even the basic configuration of three Foundation Establishment Practitioners was not complete.


    Because Rain Country is close to Yun Country, Hong He paid a bit more attention to protecting the sect¡¯s island markets.


    [Hmm, how are things going with the task I assigned to you?]


    Chen Mobai used divine sense to transmit this question, and Gu Yan indicated that everything was recorded, but it was not appropriate for her to take it out in public.


    ¡°You all go ahead and eat; I have something to discuss with niece Gu,¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke indifferently, then stood up first and headed towards the back attic. Gu Yan immediately rose to follow.


    Their actions aroused the curiosity of everyone present, but because of Chen Mobai¡¯s profound authority, they dared not speculate and could only guess in their hearts.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard these years.¡±


    When only the two of them were left, Chen Mobai took the scroll that Gu Yan handed him. Upon opening it, he saw a detailed record of her seven years of observation of Hong He in Rain Country.


    Though her cultivation level was not as high as Hong He¡¯s, armed with numerous Invisibility Talismans left by Chen Mobai, she had excellently completed the surveillance task.


    ¡°No abnormalities¡­¡±


    After reading the scroll, Chen Mobai appeared somewhat surprised.


    During these seven years under Gu Yan¡¯s surveillance, Hong He had not shown any traces of using demonic cultivation to advance his power.


    ¡°Yes, I swear on my Dao Heart!¡±


    Gu Yan nodded gravely, assuring that what was recorded on the scroll was indeed what she had witnessed with her own eyes.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave it at that for now. After the impact of the demonic beast tide is over, you don¡¯t need to return to Rain Country. Apply to return to the sect directly; I will arrange the procedures,¡±


    Since Hong He had not shown any traces of practicing demonic cultivation over the past seven years, Chen Mobai was willing to trust this talented individual from the sect.


    However, demonic cultivation was still a major concern, so he needed one final verification.


    To avoid the possibility of Gu Yan having been exposed, he first needed to call her back to the sect and put Hong He at ease.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Hearing that she could return to the sect, a smile also appeared on Gu Yan¡¯s face.


    When the pair returned to the front, Chen Mobai discovered that while he was away, not a single chopstick had been touched by the others.


    With a slight shake of his head, he could only pick up his chopsticks and grab a piece of fish meat to eat¡­


    After finishing the meal, Dong Xuanze from the Town Guard of Yun Country hurried over.


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, Qi Cuizhen used the Teleportation Array to reach the mainland of Yun Country six months ago. However, she did not return to Snow-blowing Palace afterward but directly disappeared. She probably feared being held accountable by Kong Lingling if she went back, so she took off with the funds of the Snow-blowing Palace amassed at the Yun Meng Ze Market and vanished to a faraway place.¡±


    Dong Xuanze had investigated the matter Chen Mobai had instructed, uncovering most of the details.


    Xue Ting, who stood hand in hand with Zhuo Ming, became even paler upon hearing this. But the dim look in her eyes was replaced by a trace of light.


    At least, it wasn¡¯t the Sect that abandoned them.


    ¡°Hmm, write this matter into a document and send someone to deliver it to Snow-blowing Palace,¡± he said.


    Chen Mobai had no fondness for traitors and after giving his instructions to Dong Xuanze, he did not linger there.


    He took Zhuo Ming and the others, rode the Teleportation Array, and after a few flashes, they had already returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After returning, he first summoned Yue Zutao to sort out various matters within the Sect. Then, he paid a visit to the Immortal Gate.


    Using online consultation, he secured an appointment with a senior professor from the Imperial Medical Academy and shared the situation of Xue Ting¡¯s injury to her foundation.


    Soon, he received a very detailed medical plan for nourishing and dietary healing.


    ¡°[Young lady, you are still young; don¡¯t overexert yourself at work. Good Deed Points can be earned slowly, but once Elemental Energy is damaged severely, it¡¯s not easy to recover from.]¡±


    Since Chen Mobai posed as Xue Ting for the consultation, pretending to have an overwork-related injury, in the end, he received a word of advice from the senior professor.


    Chen Mobai could only reply with a thank you and then log off to return to the Tianhe Realm.


    He used the Heavenly Communication Device to call Zhuo Ming, and soon she arrived with Xue Ting.


    ¡°Rest and follow this plan for dietary healing. There may be a few ingredients and medications that Giant Tree Ridge doesn¡¯t have. Ming¡¯er, use your own name to issue a task at Spirit Treasure Pavilion and help gather some for your niece Xue.¡±


    Zhuo Ming naturally was willing to help a friend, and Xue Ting was extremely grateful.


    After the two women left, Chen Mobai called over Jiang Zongheng.


    ¡°As your teacher, I am about to enter seclusion. You have travelled with me across the Eastern Desolation Plateau and fought against demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze. Have you had any insights or confusions?¡±


    Jiang Zongheng nodded, voicing some questions that he pondered over but could not find answers to.


    Chen Mobai used his understanding to provide answers one by one, guiding him towards forming correct principles. For some uncertainties, he also secretly used Turtle Treasure to search in the Immortal Gate.


    The difficulties that Jiang Zongheng thought were insurmountable were all addressed with answers fitting Chen Mobai¡¯s intent on the vast network accumulated by millions in the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master! Your disciple has no more confusion!¡± he said.


    After the guidance was complete, Chen Mobai also gave Jiang Zongheng a gourd of Longevity Tree Sap.


    Chen Mobai asked, ¡°What are your plans going forward?¡±


    Jiang Zongheng replied, ¡°Your disciple wishes to return home to visit my parents first, and then return to the Longevity Academy to teach and continue to deepen my knowledge.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°When you go back to your hometown, you might want to visit the location of that loquat tree again. Even I can¡¯t locate it; there must certainly be a mystery to it.¡±


    Now that there was time, Chen Mobai wanted to enhance his own Spiritual Root, so he took out the twenty-four Grand Spells from the legacy space of the Longevity Sect.


    The loquat tree Jiang Zongheng had consumed as a child was known by Chen Mobai to be beneficial to his Spiritual Root.


    Jiang Zongheng naturally nodded in agreement.


    Days passed by.

    Xue Ting was recuperating in Zhuo Ming¡¯s Court Mountain and slowly felt the foundation that had been lost within her Dantian Qi Sea beginning to recover. She couldn¡¯t help feeling more grateful to Chen Mobai.


    One day, while she was helping to feed the Green Cow, she suddenly sensed the spiritual energy of the entire Giant Tree Ridge converging towards a certain direction.


    In Xiao Nanshan, two streaks of Spiritual Light flashed, and Zhuo Ming¨Cwho was farming¨Cjoined Luo Yixuan atop the mountain and flew into the sky together.


    They both saw the Everlife Wood that the world¡¯s spiritual energy was rushing towards, and smiles of joy appeared on their faces.


    ¡°It seems that the Master¡¯s Cultivation Level has once again made a breakthrough!¡±

 Chapter 1112 - Chapter 1112 Chapter 612 Seeing Qing Nu Again

    Chapter 1112: Chapter 612: Seeing Qing Nu Again Chapter 1112: Chapter 612: Seeing Qing Nu Again In the wooden hut, Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes, feeling the more majestic Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his Dantian Qi Sea. Satisfied with his achievement of the Golden Core Third Layer, he nodded with contentment.


    This time, he did not rely on the power of any elixir; the breakthrough came purely from his cultivation reaching the necessary point and then, through sitting meditation with focus, he broke through in one go.


    Of course, although he attempted this, next to the meditation cushion on the ground were the Pure Yang Purple Qi and the Blood Spirit Pill, both of which could assist in breaking through barriers.


    When it came to breaking through realms, Chen Mobai always spared no resources and would prepare all sorts of conditions to their fullest.


    However, since the breakthrough happened naturally this time, it meant he saved these two precious spirit-breaking spiritual objects.


    Among them, Chen Mobai did not mind if the Pure Yang Purple Qi were used.


    After all, breaking through with the Pure Yang Scroll required using it, which was specifically included by the Yuanyang Ancestor. After all, Pure Yang cultivators needed to spend part of their time cultivating the Embodiment; if they were trapped by a bottleneck during realm breakthroughs, it would be basically impossible to successfully cultivate the Divine Transformation Technique.


    The condensing of Pure Yang Purple Qi only requires cultivators of the scroll to harmonize with the essence of the purple qi at dawn each day; it does not take much time and does not delay the cultivation of spiritual power and the Embodiment.


    It is for this reason that Pure Yang Purple Qi can only exert its full effect when used by the condenser themselves.


    However, even with such spirit-aiding objects for breaking barriers, those who can cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to the Nascent Soul Realm are still few and far between.


    Because to condense a complete strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, a considerable amount of time is also required.


    In theory, one needs sixty years for the first layer of Golden Core.


    But there¡¯s an advantage to Pure Yang Purple Qi; even if it¡¯s not a complete strand, it still has a barrier-breaking effect.


    The last time Chen Mobai broke through to the Golden Core Second Layer, he used the strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi that he had condensed.


    The strand he holds now was condensed by the Formless Puppet over the past five years after breaking through the realm, along with what was obtained this year under the guidance of Yin Qingmei with the Haotian Mirror.


    According to the standards of the Immortal Gate, a strand is divided into ten parts.


    Meaning approximately, it holds about one-tenth the effectiveness of a complete strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Basically, all cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll save up their Pure Yang Purple Qi until they have a complete strand, to use either at a major realm breakthrough or at critical bottlenecks moving from early to middle stages or from middle to later stages.


    Because those who dare to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll are definitely among the top talents of the Immortal Gate.


    If they can¡¯t break through the minor realms on their own, they might as well switch to cultivating something like the Scorching Heaven Cultivation Technique earlier on.


    However, Chen Mobai was well-aware of his own talent, so at every breakthrough, he would have all resources at hand, ready to consume at the first sign of failure, never being stingy.


    So, that he managed to break through successfully this time without using the Pure Yang Purple Qi and the Blood Spirit Pill was a great surprise to him.


    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s the result of accumulating over time,¡± he figured.


    But Chen Mobai still reminded himself he must not become arrogant; after all, it had been six years since his last breakthrough.


    Even with his full-fledged Spiritual Root, Spiritual Body, and Spirit Vein conditions, he needed so long to break through, showing the difficulty of cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Furthermore, what troubled Chen Mobai the most was still the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Although he had broken through to the Golden Core Third Layer, his seven suns constitution was still just short of another upgrade to his Spiritual Root.


    Even with the aid of Spirit Stones, his cultivation was still so difficult; one could imagine how the cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll from the Immortal Gate struggle daily with their barely progressing Daoist Body.


    No wonder, the Pure Yang Scroll, despite being the technique with the lowest threshold for Divine Transformation in the Immortal Gate, has few practitioners.


    After his realm breakthrough, Chen Mobai took out a top-grade Spirit Stone and attempted to practice the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    After one cycle of cultivation, he discovered the speed had increased by one-fifth.


    At this rate, in about half a year, his seven suns constitution would allow him to enhance his Fire Spirit Root by another 3 points.


    The higher the realm, the faster the cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, but the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes.


    He needed to find a way to increase the speed of his progress.


    With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai took out an elixir from his Storage Bag.


    It was the ¡°Golden Crow Sun-Chasing Elixir¡± from Han Tingfeng, which could significantly improve the efficiency of refining Fire Spiritual Power for a cultivator throughout a year.


    Since it was an object from the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai dared not consume it.


    He had no excuse to explain its origin before and did not let Qing Nu identify it, so it was almost forgotten in the Storage Bag.


    Now that he had purchased the Void Blind Box, he could attribute it to that.


    If the Golden Crow Sun-Chasing Elixir proved effective for him, Chen Mobai planned to consume it to quickly elevate his realm, which in turn would also accelerate the cultivation of his Pure Yang Daoist Body.

    Furthermore, with the pill¡¯s effect lasting for a year, even if it caused pill poisoning, as long as Chen Mobai found a way to resolve it within a year, there would be no issue.


    Consuming the elixir while resolving the pill poisoning would be perfect for not wasting his efforts in practicing the Flame Lighting Technique.


    With the support of the Green Charm Spiritual Tea from Back to Sky Valley, the plan was foolproof.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai left seclusion.


    The signs of his cultivation level breakthrough¨Cabsorbing massive amounts of nature¡¯s spiritual energy¨Cwere visible throughout half of Giant Tree Ridge, so when Yue Zutao and others came over, they were the first to congratulate him.

 Chapter 1113 - Chapter 1113 Chapter 612 Seeing Qing Nu Again_2

    Chapter 1113: Chapter 612: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 Chapter 1113: Chapter 612: Seeing Qing Nu Again_2 After dealing with the sect affairs, Chen Mobai went to Little South Mountain.


    Seven days later, Liu Wenbo, who was overseeing the operation of the Little South Mountain Shop, hurried back.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, there is a matter that requires a trip to Back to Sky Valley. Since it is a personal matter of mine, it is not appropriate to trouble the sect, so I can only trouble you.¡±


    ¡°Please instruct me, Master. It is my honor to serve you.¡±


    Liu Wenbo was slightly surprised; Chen Mobai seldom actively assigned tasks. Since he had sworn fealty to the Little South Mountain lineage, such instances could be counted on one hand.


    ¡°You will visit Yan Shaoyin on my behalf and give him this letter.¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to exchange for the Green Charm Spiritual Tea tree. Although Yan Shaoyin said this Spiritual Tea needed to grow upon the Qi of Dragon Vein, with Zhuo Ming present, he still wanted to attempt to cultivate this kind of Spiritual Tea in Little South Mountain.


    However, this Green Charm Spiritual Tea was incredibly precious, and he feared that Yan Shaoyin might not agree.


    But Chen Mobai offered a condition that no alchemist could refuse.


    In the letter that Liu Wenbo took, Chen Mobai listed a catalog of alchemy recipes he had downloaded in the Immortal Gate, comprising twenty different Rank-3 elixirs.


    If Yan Shaoyin was willing to exchange a Rank-3 tea tree, Chen Mobai would let him choose any three from this list of alchemy recipes.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai had complete confidence.


    Because among the catalog of his alchemy recipes, one was an Infant-Feeding Elixir from the three spirit medicines of the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in the Immortal Gate!


    As long as Yan Shaoyin wanted to form a Nascent Soul, he, as the number one alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness, would definitely not resist this temptation.


    Naturally, the title of the alchemy recipe catalog that Chen Mobai provided was called ¡°Longevity Elixir Scripture¡±.


    He didn¡¯t know if the Longevity Sect had it, but from now on, they would.


    By cloaking it in the guise of the Longevity Sect, Yan Shaoyin would certainly be convinced.


    To ensure its authenticity, Chen Mobai also included the Jade Return Pill in the list.


    Of course, if Yan Shaoyin truly wanted to exchange the tea tree for the alchemy recipes, according to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, he would be the only one allowed to refine and use them.


    After Liu Wenbo took the letter, he intended to head straight for the Teleportation Array to Back to Sky Valley but was called back by Chen Mobai.


    It had been a long time since he and his disciples had gathered together. Since he had returned, Zhuo Ming had prepared a lot of delicious food.


    After a year of training in Yun Meng Ze, Zhuo Ming¡¯s culinary skills had improved greatly, already surpassing those of Chen Mobai.


    As she was preparing the ingredients, Xue Ting and Luo Yixuan were also helping on the side, while Chen Mobai started to advise Liu Wenbo on his cultivation.


    This eldest disciple of his had the most modest talent in his sect. Without any accidents, it was basically impossible for him to achieve Core Formation.


    However, now that he had his master¡¯s protection, there was a glimmer of hope.


    After all, Liu Wenbo practiced the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, and with the Liquid Gold Jade Elixir, his odds would be fifty percent.


    This was quite delicate, so Chen Mobai instructed him to solidify his foundations as much as possible, and not to pursue a rapid increase in realm too eagerly.


    Even if it took one or two hundred years, he must not rely on taking elixirs but instead naturally elevate the water and wood techniques of his cultivation to the level of Foundation Establishment Completion. Only then, he might be able to make the final leap.


    Furthermore, if Chen Mobai¡¯s own realm advanced rapidly later on, he might have extra Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Although using this substance would be a great waste for others, it might just help Liu Wenbo to overcome the divide of Core Formation.


    But, the saying goes that even with a 99% chance, there¡¯s still the possibility of failure.


    If the eldest disciple really wanted to form his core, his own state of mind was also very important.


    The master and disciple sat under the Immortal Peach Tree, drinking tea, one asking questions and the other giving answers, and before they knew it, half a day had passed.


    By then, Zhuo Ming had used the open-air stove to cook more than a dozen dishes, calling them to come over.


    Xue Ting brought the wine, and Luo Yixuan cut open the freshly steamed Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice, releasing a sweet fragrance that made even Chen Mobai feel refreshed.


    ¡°Eh, this Spirit Rice is completely different from what I¡¯ve had before.¡±


    Liu Wenbo took a segment from Luo Yixuan, and after tasting it, he felt his Divine Sense slightly clarified, which made him slightly astonished.


    ¡°This is a new Rank-3 Spirit Rice that Ming¡¯er has researched, somewhat like an upgrade to Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile; Zhuo Ming had achieved Perfection of the Mother Qi of All Things, which had an effect similar to the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    All she needed to do was infuse her Mother Qi of All Things into the soil, and it could mimic the characteristics of every soil in the world. She could create the perfect Spirit Soil based on the Spirit Plant being sown, allowing it to root and sprout optimally.


    For instance, the Green Charm Spiritual Tea required soil that had been soaked in the Qi of Dragon Vein to thrive, and Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Qi of All Things could artificially create such soil.


    That was precisely why Chen Mobai had asked Liu Wenbo to make the trip.


    However, this was not omnipotent; since the Earth Mother Cultivation could only be cultivated up to Golden Core Perfection, the simulated Spirit Soil could at most be of Rank-3.


    Furthermore, for someone like Zhuo Ming who was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, artificially creating Rank-3 Spirit Soil would be too exhausting.


    But Zhuo Ming herself thought of a method, which was to choose Spirit Soils with similar characteristics to transform. For example, modifying ordinary Rank-3 Spirit Soil to suit the planting of Green Charm Spiritual Tea would certainly be much easier than improving from Rank-1 Spirit Soil.


    She also discovered that if she added the sap of Tai Sui or buried parts of its body during the transformation, it could save more than half of the spiritual power and time.


    This discovery had indeed caused Tai Sui much suffering.


    Now, it lay beside Chen Mobai¡¯s feet, wriggling its significantly thinner body somewhat grievously.


    ¡°Shimei Zhuo is truly impressive.¡±


    This was the first time in Liu Wenbo¡¯s life that he had tasted Rank-3 Spirit Rice, and he sincerely expressed his admiration for Zhuo Ming.


    By this time, he had calmly accepted that he was the most mediocre person within the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice cannot be promoted on a large scale.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, though, was still somewhat dissatisfied. These were the result of her modifying the Rank-3 Spirit Soil to best suit the growth of Clear Bamboo to cultivate the Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    What she wanted was to test a type of Spirit Rice that could grow in most Rank-3 Spirit Soils without being restricted by geographical location.


    If she could really be successful and the yield exploded, then even the Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the sect could taste it.


    In this way, it could benefit the future of the sect.


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with Zhuo Ming¡¯s inheritance of his own farming will.


    ¡°Make good use of this fellow, and you¡¯ll be successful very soon.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted the Tai Sui by his feet and said, upon which the latter trembled and burrowed into the ground.


    He knew that Zhuo Ming was on the right path, and now with the completion of Mother Qi of All Things, she was even more powerful.


    After leaving Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai went back to the Immortal Gate.


    Councilors of Kaiyuan Hall were required to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven every ten years to report on their duties.


    Since his Core Formation, it had been just the tenth year for Chen Mobai.


    He submitted an application for his duty report to Kaiyuan Hall, and on the third day, received an official reply granting permission.


    Chen Mobai also took this opportunity to meet with Qing Women and let her help appraise the Golden Crow¡¯s Sun-Swallowing Elixir he held.


    ¡°Long time no see!¡±


    The two met in a secluded private room, and when Qing Women entered, Chen Mobai showed a rare and genuinely warm smile on his face.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been almost ten years, hasn¡¯t it?¡±


    Qing Women spoke with a hint of regret. As a member of the Sky-Mending Group, she could hardly leave the headquarters in Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    And so was the case for Chen Mobai, as a councilor of Kaiyuan Hall, a Golden Core Master with the power to easily destroy a city. Though he held a high position and significant weight within the Immortal Gate, in reality, the restrictions on him were greater.


    The last time the two met was in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°I¡¯m not even sure how the research on the Biyu Wutong is going,¡±


    Chen Mobai started the conversation, as it wouldn¡¯t be right to ask Qing Women to appraise the elixir immediately upon meeting, as that would make him seem too utilitarian.

    ¡°I hear Elder Yuanxu found a very key piece of information, but I don¡¯t dare to inquire about it actively.¡±


    The Sky-Mending Group was considered one of the highest secret units in the Immortal Gate, privy to much information.


    ¡°How have you been recently?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to delve into matters concerning the Ascension Sect, and had to awkwardly change the subject again.


    ¡°I¡¯m preparing for my Core Formation!¡±

 Chapter 1114 - Chapter 1114 Chapter 613 The Foundation of the Heavenly

    Chapter 1114: Chapter 613: The Foundation of the Heavenly Spiritual Root (9600 monthly votes plus) Chapter 1114: Chapter 613: The Foundation of the Heavenly Spiritual Root (9600 monthly votes plus) ¡°Are you in such a hurry? You could have waited until you have enough seniority before attempting Core Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised by Qing Nu¡¯s words.


    Although Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators have a fifty percent success rate in Core Formation even without Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, precisely because of this, they should strive for excellence and aim to succeed on their first try.


    Imperial Medical Academy had conducted research¨CHeaven Spirit Root Cultivators often found it easier to make breakthroughs because their Spiritual Roots contained a strand of Innate Qi of a specific attribute.


    When Cultivators practiced corresponding Cultivation Techniques, this strand of Innate Qi would be continuously decoded.


    When facing a bottleneck in their cultivation, this Innate Qi would release a little to help Cultivators comprehend the Dao¡¯s rhythm and overcome the bottleneck.


    If a Heaven Spirit Root Cultivator failed to break through, it would mean that most of the Innate Qi within them was already used up and merged.


    Therefore, in all possible situations, Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators wouldn¡¯t rashly force their way through a bottleneck but instead would take Elixir or use time to cultivate, to prevent excessive depletion of that piece of Innate Qi within them.


    Fine steel should be used on the cutting edge.


    If possible, Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators hoped to use their strand of Innate Qi only during major realm breakthroughs.


    If Qing Nu indeed used up all her foundation during Core Formation, then she would have no advantage compared to ordinary Cultivators during Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°There have been so many Heaven Spirit Roots in the history of Immortal Gate, and eighty to ninety percent of them have stopped at Perfect Core Formation. I think my own comprehension is average, and it¡¯s better not to aim too high.¡±


    Faced with Chen Mobai, Qing Nu also shared her true feelings.


    Although resources were scarce on Immortal Gate¡¯s side, they had a basic affinity with Spiritual Roots, typically producing one Heaven Spirit Root every ten or twenty years or so.


    With such a vast base, very few manage to form their Nascent Soul.


    Because the strand of Innate Qi could increase the probability of successfully forming a Core by fifty percent, its effect on the Nascent Soul Formation was only equivalent to a kind of Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Medicine.


    Thus, many Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators developed a kind of laissez-faire mindset.


    They chose to use their foundation directly on the Core Formation stage, to enjoy the benefits as soon as possible.


    ¡°That¡¯s not the way to look at it. For Core Formation, you could just wait out your seniority to get the Elixir. That way, when forming the Core, you would consume the Elixir¡¯s power first, before starting to draw upon your Innate Qi, which could save a lot. And the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine is so precious that even I might not be able to queue up for it. Since you are a Heaven Spirit Root Cultivator, you really should not waste it.¡±


    Chen Mobai started to earnestly and patiently persuade her, noting that Gongye Zhixu, after serving the people for so many years, had only managed to get an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    From birth, Qing Nu was as if she already possessed an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Qing Nu hesitated.


    ¡°Why are you so anxious to form your Core? Do you not want to stay in the Sky-Mending Group anymore?¡±


    Chen Mobai could only think of this reason because after Core Formation, Qing Nu would become a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall¨Ceven if she were to be sidelined, she would be assigned a place to serve in an official capacity.


    ¡°There is that reason.¡±


    Qing Nu nodded and then seemed to think of something. Her fair cheeks blushed as she slightly lowered her head.


    [Actually, I want to be closer to you.]


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll try to send a message and see if Wen Ren Xuewei can use the reason of rehiring outstanding graduates to allow you to return to Jumang Academy as a Teaching Assistant.¡±


    Chen Mobai also felt it was somewhat inappropriate for Qing Nu to be on her own in a place like the Sky-Mending Group, which was full of fierce individuals; he thought through his connections and came up with a solution.


    ¡°My identity is special, and doing so might bring unnecessary scrutiny to the Academy. Let¡¯s forget it.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, rejecting Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal.


    ¡°I still hope you can show a bit more endurance¨Ceven exchanging for a single Water Primordial Golden Core Pill would be good. After all, among my friends, perhaps only you can accompany me on this journey. I don¡¯t want to find myself all alone when it comes time for Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed and revealed some of his inner thoughts.


    After hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s beautiful face showed a hint of emotion. Her already wavering determination immediately solidified.


    ¡°Alright, for our future, I will not draw upon my Innate Water Spirit Qi.¡±


    Chen Mobai, feeling overjoyed upon hearing that Qing Nu had taken his advice, brightened up.


    ¡°But I still want to try forming the Core. Even if I fail, it can still serve as preparation for a real attempt later on.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s statement surprised Chen Mobai slightly. Attempting Core Formation without drawing on the foundation of her Heaven Spirit Root and without the aid of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine was almost impossible to succeed.


    In that case, the backlash from a failed Core Formation could result in a Cultivator being severely injured for a long time, or it might even cause a loss of their essence.


    While the Immortal Gate¡¯s medical system could eventually restore one¡¯s health with slow care, such weakness lasting for several years, or even over a decade, was still a tormenting matter for any Cultivator.


    ¡°Why go to such lengths?¡±


    Chen Mobai was at a loss. In the peaceful and prosperous times of the Immortal Gate, there was simply no need to push oneself so hard.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t I just learning from you?¡±


    Qing Nu replied with a smile, rendering Chen Mobai speechless.


    That was indeed how he presented himself in the Immortal Gate!


    But he had the resources of the entire Divine Wood Sect as his backing; every time he was about to break through, his external conditions were maxed out.


    It could only be said that many people only saw the surface of his genius and did not see the mountains of various resources and spiritual objects accumulated behind him.


    ¡°Just give it a try, and if it doesn¡¯t work, don¡¯t force it.¡±


    Qing Nu used herself as an example, so that was all Chen Mobai could advise. As long as she gave up quickly, the backlash from a failed Core Formation would be lighter, and she would recover faster.


    ¡°Mhm, I belong to the Sky-Mending Group Four, and I¡¯ve simulated Core Formation failure innumerable times in medical training. With my authority, I can apply for a third-rank superior cultivation room, and I¡¯ve prepared some elixirs for healing¡­¡±


    Qing Nu began to discuss her arrangement for Core Formation.


    In theory, she could apply to the Jumang Academy for a fourth-grade spirit vein, but this opportunity was available to each graduate only once. So, without intending to utilize the entirety of her foundation, she changed the location of her Core Formation to a cultivation room of the Sky-Mending Group, to avoid wasting the opportunity.


    ¡°I have a friend who is an expert in Spirit Gathering Arrays and can upgrade a third-rank superior spirit vein to fourth-grade in a short time. Give me a couple of days to arrange it.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai made a phone call to Yunyang Bing. Since graduating, the latter had been carving the Daoist rhythms of mountains and rivers into his heart and mind at various places in the Immortal Gate. After hearing his request, without any hesitation, he agreed to send the necessary items as quickly as possible.


    ¡°Actually, the Sky-Mending Group also possesses similar things. The principle is to accumulate Spiritual Energy and then release it in a short burst to create an effect akin to a level-up. However, since Core Formation takes a long time, if it¡¯s not well-controlled, it can lead to an insufficient supply of Spiritual Energy later on.¡±


    Chen Mobai was so quick with the phone call that Qing Nu did not have a chance to interject, but she still shared what she knew afterward.


    ¡°Speaking of spiritual energy¡­ I actually bought a Void Blind Box earlier and found some very interesting things in it, one of which is quite suitable for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly shifted the conversation to the real reason he had arranged to meet Qing Nu that day. He first took out the pail of pearls given to him by Nu Jiang.


    Of course, if he were to take out all eighty-eight pearls, their value would be too frightening in the Immortal Gate.


    After all, one pearl was equal to a top-grade spirit stone, which in terms of Good Deed Points would be a hundred million!


    Chen Mobai was unreserved with Qing Nu, but after careful consideration, he cautiously took out just the eight surplus pearls.


    ¡°This is¡­!¡±


    Girls indeed have little resistance to shiny objects. Upon seeing the lustrous, transparent pearls, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but reach out to touch them.


    Next, she felt the pearls contained a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, akin to a vast sea.


    What astonished her was that the Spiritual Energy was of the Water Attribute, which was best suited for her to absorb.


    ¡°It must be a spiritual object from a Sea Territory. I also found this elixir in the Void Blind Box, and I guess it belonged to a senior cultivator of Fire Attribute techniques, wanting to use the Water Spirit Qi in these pearls to balance the Fire and Water aspects¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had just taken out the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir, and before he could finish speaking, Qing Nu had already consciously taken the elixir and started to identify it.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s specifically for Fire Attribute cultivators. The elixir hasn¡¯t been destroyed, despite its excessive toxicity, which suggests it was produced during wartime when resources were scarce and supervision was lax¡­¡±


    Seeing Qing Nu begin to identify it, Chen Mobai immediately shared with her everything he knew about the effects of the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir.


    The reason being that when he opened the Void Blind Box, the senior cultivator had also left a manual for the elixir.


    Qing Nu trusted him unconditionally. Nodding at his words, she took out a hollow fine needle from her small bag and used a special technique to extract some of the medicinal powder, which she then put on her tongue with her finger.


    Soon, Chen Mobai saw her complexion turn red, and she began to sweat profusely.


    He was about to intervene, but Qing Nu stopped him. She explained that it was a normal reaction to testing medicine because it was a third-grade elixir, and since it countered her own cultivation technique with its Fire Attribute, her reaction was somewhat intense.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be alright in a minute¡­¡±


    Qing Nu said, but she couldn¡¯t help holding the concerned Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand, which was by her side.


    Today, she wore a tight-fitting, low-cut long-sleeve top, revealing her snow-white delicate collarbones, and a black skirt below her slender waist. The slightly sheer black stockings outlined the graceful curves of her long legs. As sweat drenched her body and her clothes clung to her, Chen Mobai could clearly see her most genuine and graceful figure.

    In terms of body proportions, Qing Nu was the most perfect among all the beauties Chen Mobai had encountered.


    As sweat droplets slid down her beautiful face, Chen Mobai felt a hint of distress.


    He hadn¡¯t anticipated that identifying the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir would overheat Qing Nu. For Immortal Sect Disciples who were used to maintaining their most comfortable body temperature constantly, this was a moderate torment.


    ¡°It¡¯s passed!¡±


    About five minutes later, Qing Nu opened her eyes and showed a smile to the relieved Chen Mobai at her side.

 Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115 Chapter 614 Joyful Times

    Chapter 1115: Chapter 614 Joyful Times Chapter 1115: Chapter 614 Joyful Times ¡°The elixir¡¯s effectiveness is fine, but the toxicity is too high.¡±


    After Qing Nu made her assessment, Chen Mobai nodded with relief.


    ¡°Then, after I return to Yu Wood City, I¡¯ll deal with this elixir.¡±


    Qing Nu, thinking he meant to destroy it, nodded and handed the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir back to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Take these eight pearls; they can be useful when you¡¯re forming your core.¡±


    After taking the elixir, Chen Mobai handed over a tray of lustrous, smooth pearls to Qing Nu, who looked shocked.


    ¡°These are too precious, I can¡¯t accept them!¡±


    Even though Qing Nu was well-versed in the Sky-Mending Group, pearls worth eight hundred million Good Deed Points felt as heavy as mountains to her, and she shook her hands in refusal.


    ¡°If I give it to you, just take it. We don¡¯t need to be so formal with each other.¡±


    Seeing her shake her hands and step back, Chen Mobai immediately picked up the tray of pearls from the table and offered them to her.


    Qing Nu instinctively wanted to dodge, but Chen Mobai caught her hand, and she, already drenched in sweat, immediately felt weak all over.


    She let Chen Mobai stuff the tray of pearls into her hands.


    ¡°These pearls are the crystallization of Water Spirit Qi. If I were to use them, I¡¯d have to go through a transformation process, which would be wasteful. You holding onto them will bring out their full potential.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qing Nu blushed as she looked at the eight large pearls cradled in her hands, sweetness welling up in her eyes like never before.


    This was a gift of eight hundred million Good Deed Points, and he had offered it to her without a second thought!


    Who could resist such a gesture? Qing Nu¡¯s mind raced with wild thoughts, even imagining post-marriage life and raising children together.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s phone rang, and after a glance, he sent a message in reply.


    Qing Nu, ¡°What is it, something important?¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Yes, Commissioner Wang Shuye heard I¡¯ve come to Wangwu Cave Heaven and has invited me to dinner tonight.¡±


    Qing Nu, ¡°Then you should go ahead, I won¡¯t keep you.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated, then shook his head without getting up to leave.


    ¡°It¡¯s still early for evening, and we haven¡¯t seen each other in a long time. Since it¡¯s a rare opportunity, I want to spend more time with you.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have many friends in the Immortal Gate, and Qing Nu was one of the few he truly trusted and confided in. A reunion after ten years wouldn¡¯t do justice if they parted ways after just a morning together.


    Qing Nu felt even sweeter inside upon hearing his words.


    She raised her hand and cast a Cleaning Technique to tidy her sweat-soaked clothes and stockings, then straightened the edge of her skirt and sat down with a smile on her face.


    However, watching this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly disappointed.


    Qing Nu, previously looking stunning with her clothing clinging to her figure, now only her stockings traced the shape of her legs, slightly diminishing her allure.


    But she still looked quite pleasing to the eye.


    Chen Mobai appreciated beauty, whether in people or objects.


    So, whenever he interacted with Qing Nu, Yan Bingxuan, and others, he always felt very comfortable, as if his heart and mind were relaxed.


    But mere physical beauty wasn¡¯t enough to intoxicate and delight him; a spiritual connection was even more crucial.


    He and Qing Nu had grown together from obscurity, becoming people who understood each other the most within the Immortal Gate.


    Ten years of separation hadn¡¯t made them feel estranged.


    Soon, they moved from reminiscing about Red Sandstone City to discussing their own experiences in work and cultivation life.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s life was rather monotonous, as he couldn¡¯t speak of matters regarding Tianhe Realm. His experiences at the Immortal Gate consisted of cultivation, making appearances at Qing Sang Academy, more cultivation, and reviewing Yu Wood City departments¡¯ budgets at year¡¯s end.


    According to him, ninety-nine percent of his time was spent in cultivation.


    ¡°Only someone like you could endure the loneliness of prolonged cultivation. If I had your self-discipline and determination, maybe I would have reached Foundation Establishment Completion five years earlier,¡± Qing Nu said, reflecting on her own simple experiences of living in an apartment arranged by the Sky-Mending Group and conducting various biological and medicinal research experiments for the group.


    Many experiments were confidential, but Chen Mobai, as a member of Kaiyuan Hall, had the duty to supervise the entire Immortal Gate and theoretically could be privy to some matters.


    So Qing Nu picked out experiments that Chen Mobai would find interesting, without causing any confidentiality issues.


    As they talked, Chen Mobai began asking about Alchemy.


    With a basic understanding of Artifact Refining, his current foray into the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal was Alchemy.


    Thanks to the exceptional resources from the Eastern Wilderness and the almost inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Extracts, he had managed to refine the simplest Rank-1 Elixirs.


    He had tried his hand at Rank-2 twice but failed both times.


    This was a good opportunity to seek professional advice from Qing Nu, an expert in the field.


    For Chen Mobai, Qing Nu was more than willing to share all she knew.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As they continued to chat, the day passed without them noticing.


    When it was time to part, both felt reluctant.


    Chen Mobai sighed at the too-short learning opportunity, while Qing Nu longed for more time together like this.


    In the evening, Chen Mobai and Wang Shuye also had a great time talking.


    Wang Shuye, ¡°The Immortal Gate has prepared all materials needed for refining the Infant-Feeding Elixir, just waiting for the Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit from the Daoist Academy to ripen.¡±

 Chapter 1116 - Chapter 1116 Chapter 614 Joyful Times_2

    Chapter 1116: Chapter 614 Joyful Times_2 Chapter 1116: Chapter 614 Joyful Times_2 It wasn¡¯t the affairs of the household, the nation, or the world that the two Golden Core Masters discussed, but rather the path to Nascent Soul Formation at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°In that case, Vice Principal Duanmu is also preparing for Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Wang Shuye: ¡°Indeed, after waiting for three hundred years and using the Hugging Elixir Technique to lock in her peak essence and spirit, all for that Vermillion Fruit and Infant-Feeding Pill, I hope she succeeds. It would also blaze a trail for me.¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy offered two paths to Nascent Soul Formation. One was the path Duanmu Longrong took: Guarding the Treasure Trove for three hundred years in exchange for a fifth-order Vermillion Fruit and an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    The other path was like Wang Shuye¡¯s, representing the academy in one of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen, advocating for the academy, and serving the people in exchange for the three Nascent Soul Spirit Medicines, just like Gongye Zhixu.


    The only difference was that while guarding the Treasure Trove for three hundred years guaranteed the attainment of Spiritual Objects necessary for Nascent Soul, including an additional Vermillion Fruit which was equivalent to the foundation of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    But serving in the Immortal Sect didn¡¯t necessarily ensure acquisition.


    Among the Immortal Sect, the order for distributing the Nascent Soul Spirit Medicine started with the Deputy Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls. Although Wang Shuye was the face of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was only ninth in rank among the entire Three Great Halls.


    To obtain the Nascent Soul Spirit Medicine, it would not only take negotiations with the top ascendants but also for the eight people ahead of him to receive their share before it was his turn.


    However, Wang Shuye¡¯s nearly two hundred years of waiting since graduating from the academy and taking public office had long solidified tacit agreements with all relevant personages within the Three Great Halls.


    If the refining of the Infant-Feeding Pill succeeded without any surprises, he was likely to receive one.


    It was for this reason he wanted to observe Duanmu Longrong¡¯s progress first, as she had reached the Perfection of Core Formation over a century ago and was considered one of the cultivators closest to the Nascent Soul stage within the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°I hope both Vice Principal Duanmu and Senior Wang succeed in their Nascent Soul Formation, strengthening the reputation of our Dao Academy.¡±


    This sentiment expressed by Chen Mobai came from the heart. After all, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had enjoyed many conveniences it offered over the years and naturally hoped for more Nascent Soul Superiors within the academy, which would fortify his backing!


    ¡°After us two, the academy will have to select those who will take our places. I¡¯ve heard from your teacher that he doesn¡¯t seem too keen on guarding the Treasure Trove. What about you, any interest in taking over my position?¡±


    Wang Shuye suddenly made a remark in a joking manner, which considerably stirred Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    The man before him held the highest position from the Dance Tool Dao Academy among the Three Great Halls of Xianmen, just one step away from becoming the Vice Hall Master of Kaiyuan Hall.


    Chen Mobai knew he was serious because among the Core Formation successors of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was the most outstanding.


    Giving him the opportunity of Nascent Soul would most likely result in a new Nascent Soul Superior for the academy.


    Compared to sitting in quietude in the Cave of Ten Thousand Treasures for three hundred years, the proposal from Wang Shuye was far more alluring.


    After all, it was the dream he had cherished since his childhood!


    If planned properly, given his background, becoming a Vice Hall Master of the Three Great Halls would pose no problem in the future.


    To go even further, a Hall Master of the Three Great Halls must be a Nascent Soul Superior, which is a mandatory requirement!


    ¡°I¡­ will think about it when I return!¡±


    This time, Chen Mobai did not immediately refuse.


    After hearing this, Wang Shuye¡¯s eyes brightened, seemingly pleased.


    He then chatted with Chen Mobai about interesting gossip only known within the Three Great Halls, like how Gongye Zhixu had previously attempted Nascent Soul Formation and failed, though it was uncertain if he had taken the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    Ye Yune was the daughter of Beiming Ascendant but she detested it when people used that fact to talk about her, as if she wished to prove that she could become Kaiyuan Hall¡¯s Vice Hall Master on her own merits.


    Gongsun Jielu, after her battle in the Red Sandstone City, earned the chance to gain insight into the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and ten years since, she showed no sign of coming out of seclusion, hinting that she might have truly comprehended something.


    If she succeeded in mastering the Immortal Sect Sword Art, then no one could contend with her for the position of Vice Hall Master of the Dharma Hall.


    ¡°By the way, aren¡¯t you a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius yourself? If you take over my role, you¡¯ll soon have the chance to access the Flying Immortal Pavilion and study its secrets. With your aptitude, you¡¯ll definitely grasp the essence of the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and in the future, with Principal Chengxuan¡¯s guidance, you could meet Ancestor Baiguang on Wangxian Peak. Perhaps, if she takes a liking to your swordsmanship talent, she may even take you as her direct disciple in high spirits!¡±


    Wang Shuye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai even more tempted.


    Following this path, he could become one of the most powerful individuals in the Immortal Sect in the shortest period.


    He might even receive personal instruction on the Primordial Spirit-accompanied Sword from Ancestor Baiguang and have the potential to achieve Divinity Transformation fueled by the Immortal Sect Sword Art!


    But all of these predicates were contingent on him being a genuine Sword Cultivation Genius!


    If I am indeed elevated by the influence of the Dance Tool Dao Academy to comprehend the Immortal Sect Sword Art, and yet come away with nothing, won¡¯t it just expose the sham that is my Deity Form?


    That would truly be a resounding downfall!


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai came back to his senses and resisted the temptation, resolving in his heart to refuse.


    Of course, he wouldn¡¯t refuse on the spot, but after returning and completing his duty report in Yu Wood City, he would claim that after careful consideration, he preferred the feeling of being close to home and did not wish to serve.


    After a long night¡¯s discussion with Wang Shuye, Chen Mobai went to the Kaiyuan Hall the next day to report on his duties.


    Having already notified them in advance, he merely went through the motions, though there was a rotating member of the Kaiyuan Hall who asked about the situation when he crossed swords with the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard. But as Chen Mobai was innocent, he had no reason to fear, and he told nothing but the truth.


    Together with Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu, the three of them had joined forces, ultimately cutting down the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard with great difficulty using the Purple Electric Sword!


    After he had finished recounting these events, there were no other questions, and Chen Mobai¡¯s duty report passed easily.


    ¡°Respected Councilor Chen, you have seven days of vacation left in Wangwu Cave Heaven, please enjoy yourself.¡±


    Since a Golden Core Master cannot easily leave their assigned realm, this decennial duty report becomes a great opportunity for them to socialize and invite friends.


    Chen Mobai also had several friends in Wangwu Cave Heaven, mostly from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After meeting with Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng, Chen Mobai made another trip to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Zhongli Tianyu, who had long received the news, was waiting for him at the entrance.


    Zhongli Yue, the Golden Core Master, personally cooked to entertain him, compelling Chen Mobai to join him for the feast.


    After the meal, Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu took a walk around the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains and then visited Yuanyang View.


    Sima Xingyu was still there, and upon seeing Chen Mobai, his face showed complexity; but in the end, he sighed and paid his respects.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, please come in!¡±


    Chen Mobai was already well-acquainted with Yuanyang View, and this time he could touch those Fourth-grade Magical Weapons openly and legitimately, as if he was a disciple of Pure Yang paying homage to the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    Alas, to reduce the demand on spiritual energy, these magical weapons were all sealed in the deepest slumber, and although Chen Mobai found their Artifact Spirits, he dared not awaken them.


    After striking the bell and entering tranquility to clarify his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai left Yuanyang View feeling refreshed and at ease with Zhongli Tianyu.


    Before departing, he took a look at Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s Fairy Mountain but, unfortunately, this time there was no little girl named Xiao Hei.


    With a sense of regret, Chen Mobai left the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    He spent most of his remaining time with Qing Women, seeking her expertise on alchemy.


    Fortunately, Qing Women, not having many friends, had saved up a lot of vacation time.


    And Lan Haitian, obviously knowing who she was going to meet, swiftly approved her leave request with his signature.


    When with Chen Mobai, Qing Women felt the warmth of sunshine piercing into her desolate and numb heart, a sense of relaxation and joy she had never felt before, which made her wish that time could forever stand still at this moment.


    Unfortunately, happy times are always brief.


    On the last day, Qing Women personally saw Chen Mobai off on his departing train.


    ¡°Do you like riding trains?¡±


    Chen Mobai was escorted by the service staff to a private VIP waiting room, but someone was already there waiting for him.

    ¡°It¡¯s rare to have the chance to go out, naturally I want to breathe in more of the outside air. Trains are slow, so that¡¯s why I chose this mode of transport,¡± replied Chen Mobai.


    After these words, Lan Haitian nodded, as if he believed what he heard.


    ¡°This is Elder Yuanxu and Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s research on Biyu Wutong, would you like to take a look?¡± asked Lan Haitian, holding a file in his hands.


    Chen Mobai, seeing the document in Lan Haitian¡¯s hand, firmly shook his head!


    ¡°No, I do not wish to!¡±

 Chapter 1117 - Chapter 1117 Chapter 615 The Mastermind Behind the Immortal

    Chapter 1117: Chapter 615: The Mastermind Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan Chapter 1117: Chapter 615: The Mastermind Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan Chen Mobai, after uttering those two words, turned and walked away.


    He knew that Lan Haitian was an old hand at sweet-talking people, and following his rhythm was not an option. It was better to simply not listen at all.


    ¡°At the next Immortal Gate Assembly, the Head of Immortal Affairs has decided to retire, and the Righteous Law Hall Master will take his place. Then Narcissus will be appointed as Hall Master of the Dharma Hall, and Gongsun Jielu will become the Deputy Hall Master of the Dharma Hall,¡±


    But as soon as Chen Mobai turned around, a sentence drifted over from behind him, catching his attention.


    Men are inherently drawn to the game of governance, and changes in the highest ranks within the Immortal Gate were certainly intriguing. For Chen Mobai, who had dreamed of holding office since his youth, it was an itch he was dying to scratch, to learn more.


    However, he remained resolute; he knew that if he turned around to ask, he would fall right into Lan Haitian¡¯s trap. So, suppressing the temptation, he lifted his foot, pulled open the door, and prepared to leave.


    ¡°The man behind the Immortal Sprout cultivation project is none other than the Head of Immortal Affairs. While he is in office, we must speak respectfully of the revered one, but once he retires, those secret files that have been sealed can be revealed,¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he still in office? Why are you spilling the beans already!¡±


    Upon hearing about the Immortal Sprout cultivation project related to Qing Nu, Chen Mobai finally lost his composure and couldn¡¯t help but speak up. Outside was Lin Yin disguised as crew staff, a slender figure in a blue uniform with a flat chest, clearly on lookout duty for the two Golden Core Masters.


    ¡°Those within the power structures, they are very pragmatic. Once news breaks, we consider him already retired.¡±


    As Lan Haitian spoke, his tone remained even. He saw Chen Mobai looking back and smiled, shaking the dossier he held in his hand.


    With a bang!


    Chen Mobai slammed the door he had opened, and Lin Yin outside executed a Seal Formula, setting up a Restriction to prevent sound from escaping.


    ¡°Speak up, what do you want me to do?¡±


    ¡°No, I just wanted to have a chat, to tell you some things that I couldn¡¯t before,¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought Lan Haitian would ask him to be his enforcer again, but the latter just shook his head, then passed the dossier in his hand over.


    ¡°Better state it clearly first, without any reason, I¡¯m quite reluctant to look at what you¡¯re giving me.¡±


    Though he was concerned about Qing Nu and had stayed, Chen Mobai was still wary of Lan Haitian, even though they had faced life and death together in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I might as well be straightforward,¡± Lan Haitian said with a smile after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, and he laid the dossier open on the table between them. ¡°According to the Portal¡¯s estimates, there are about sixty-six years left until we can capture a Different World. By then, you, as a senior disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, must know what will happen.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brows knit slightly, and he said four words: ¡°Start a war!¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°The reason the Head of Immortal Affairs is retiring is not only because he is indeed getting old, but also because during the war, the Immortal Gate needs a stronger leader, and the Righteous Law Hall Master is very suitable.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°Before the two worlds come into contact, we will definitely use the Portal to send a batch of Cultivators to the Different World to scout ahead. Then we¡¯ll make plans according to the races, civilizations, resources, and so on that we find there. If it¡¯s a barren land devoid of spirit, we¡¯ll collect some samples and abandon it; if there are gentle races with whom we can communicate, it might turn into trade with resource exchanges; only if the resources are very abundant and the beings of the Different World are irascible and impossible to communicate with will we wage war.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°However, no matter what, once contact is made with the Different World, the belligerents in the upper echelons will gain a lot of say. And they favor talented fighters like you the most.¡±


    Lan Haitian: ¡°My visit to see you isn¡¯t of my own volition, but at the personal behest of the Righteous Law Hall Master, who has always thought highly of you and wants to invite you to join the Dharma Hall.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai involuntarily widened his eyes.


    He hadn¡¯t realized he was so popular.


    Wang Shuye wanted him to succeed him, and now even the future Sect Master, the current Righteous Law Hall Master, was inviting him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back and think it over,¡±


    Chen Mobai could only put him off with this response once more.


    Lan Haitian did not continue, having said all he needed; his objective for coming today had been achieved.


    ¡°To tell you the truth, among our generation of young Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Gate, only you are the one I¡¯m not sure I can win against. If you don¡¯t enter service, it will be good for me as well,¡±


    Lan Haitian said jokingly, pushing the dossier once again towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s inside?¡±


    By now, Chen Mobai had gradually lowered his guard.


    But he still did not take it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Both Peach Blossom Sage and Master Huakai have thoroughly investigated the corpses of Biyu Wutong and themselves, and they have discovered something astonishing,¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai remain so cautious, Lan Haitian proceeded to withdraw the papers inside the dossier right before him, then took out one covered with a photograph and laid it on the table.


    Chen Mobai looked down, and his eyes instantly narrowed!


    It was written that Peach Blossom Sage, after years of research, discovered that Biyu Wutong had once attempted a Level Up.


    If a Fourth Grade Superior were to Level Up, it could only be to Rank-5!


    In the entire Immortal Gate, Rank-5 Spirit Plants were few and far between, so rare that they were even more highly regarded than Nascent Soul Cultivators!

 Chapter 1118 - Chapter 1118 Chapter 615 The Person Behind the Immortal

    Chapter 1118: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_2 Chapter 1118: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_2 ¡°Did it fail?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, seeing that there were traces of an attempt at leveling up, but since the Biyu Wutong was still a Fourth Grade Superior, it likely meant that it hadn¡¯t succeeded.


    ¡°This is what¡¯s odd about Peach Blossom Sage. Logically speaking, for a Spirit Plant to level up, especially from Rank-4 to Rank-5, it needs such a vast amount of nature¡¯s spiritual energy that even draining several Nascent Soul Superiors wouldn¡¯t suffice. At the very least, a Fifth Grade Spirit Vein would be required.¡±


    ¡°And if the leveling up of a Spirit Plant fails, the backlash from insufficient spiritual energy would severely damage its vital energy. However, that Biyu Wutong doesn¡¯t show any signs of such damage.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, Peach Blossom Sage speculated that the Flower Bloom Courtyard must have some ancient secret techniques that allow a Spirit Plant to simulate the process of leveling up. But why would this master of the Evil Path hide in Red Sandstone City for so many years after disintegrating and reincarnating, helping the Biyu Wutong level up? This is the key issue that our Sky-Mending Group will investigate next.¡±


    Having relayed half of the contents from the archives, Chen Mobai finally picked up the scattered papers on the table and slowly began to read them.


    He soon came across the other half that hadn¡¯t been discussed yet.


    These were the conclusions drawn by Elder Yuanxu after examining the corpse of Master Huakai.


    ¡°She disintegrated!?¡±


    As Chen Mobai came to this conclusion, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked up at Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Although she did a lot to conceal her condition at the time of her death, making the Three Extremes Sage believe she was completely dead, Elder Yuanxu discovered through methods beyond medicine that Master Huakai¡¯s life fire had not extinguished and was still burning in this world.¡±


    Lan Haitian said this with a sense of helplessness.


    After Chen Mobai had slain Master Huakai with the Purple Electric Sword, he had secretly followed up with a strike from the Liu Yu Scripture for peace of mind.


    Little did he know that this giant of the Evil Path had already disintegrated and escaped.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean I¡¯m in great danger?¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned, feeling a sudden urgency in his heart.


    After all, Master Huakai was a giant of the Evil Path with the Nascent Soul Nature, a whole major realm higher than him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry about that. After she disintegrated, it will take her at least a hundred years to return to her peak. Besides, we will be more careful in monitoring cultivators within the Immortal Gate who are preparing for Core Formation, and now that we are on guard, she won¡¯t be able to escape the nets of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Heavenly Curtain!¡±


    Lan Haitian said this with full confidence.


    ¡°What if she forms her core outside of Di Yuan Star?¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, considered another possibility, knowing that the Ascension Sect could take someone away from the Immortal Gate if they wanted to.


    Yang Jing and Kong Feichen were prime examples.


    ¡°We¡¯d have no way of dealing with that. However, the internal strife within the Ascension Sect is also very intense. If Master Huakai truly hasn¡¯t returned to her peak when she goes back, it¡¯s likely that her enemies will strike her before we do.¡±


    Lan Haitian said this with a smile, revealing that as a group specialized in dealing with the Ascension Sect, they certainly had infiltrated the Heretical Cult.


    Those giants of the Evil Path were all ruthless.


    Especially the Hall Master of the Shrine of Life and Death and Shenyu Xuanzhu (Divine Control Pavilion Master), the former with a penchant for playing with corpses and the latter who likes to devour Divine Sense.


    Lan Haitian even suspected that Master Huakai, in her Shi Qing reincarnation, had been hesitant to leave Di Yuan Star after forming her core, possibly because she feared returning to the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°But the safest option is for me to succeed in ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ within a hundred years, so even if Master Huakai truly returns to her peak, I¡¯ll be able to slay her once more!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai replied confidently in a manner befitting his reputation within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°After this batch of Infant-Feeding Elixirs, it¡¯s uncertain whether the Immortal Gate will be able to gather enough materials for the next batch of Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine within a hundred years.¡±


    Lan Haitian played the role of a realist.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that in a hundred years, the Immortal Gate will border with a Different World? The Immortal Gate could secure a large number of resources from that. Moreover, I feel that even without the Immortal Gate¡¯s Three Spirit Medicines, I could still succeed in forming my nascent soul!¡±


    The certainty and confidence in Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Lan Haitian at a loss for how to respond.


    He wouldn¡¯t dare to be so presumptuous himself and would definitely wait for the Three Spirit Medicines before attempting ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯.


    ¡°This is the Immortal Gate¡¯s investigation report on the event in Red Sandstone City over the past decade. Since you¡¯re involved, I came by to fill you in as well.¡±


    Having said all this, Lan Haitian prepared to leave.


    Of course, he left the archive materials on the table, not taking them with him.


    They were meant for Chen Mobai anyway.


    With a click, the door to the VIP room opened. Lan Haitian was about to step out when he seemed to remember something and turned back to Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Oh, right, now that Red Sandstone City is without Golden Core Masters in residence, if you wish to return to your hometown, you can make arrangements through Wang Shuye.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Peach Blossom Sage researching the Biyu Wutong?¡±


    Chen Mobai was certainly tempted by the prospect of a triumphant return, but he still considered the biggest obstacle.


    If he was to spend a long time under the watchful eyes of Nascent Soul Superiors, he would be better off staying in Yu Wood City!


    ¡°This year, the Immortal Gate¡¯s group of experts has already thoroughly studied the Biyu Wutong, and now only a small study group from Jumang Academy remains there to observe any subsequent changes. As for Peach Blossom Sage, he has not been in Red Sandstone City for the past five years already.¡±

 Chapter 1119 - Chapter 1119 Chapter 615 The Person Behind the Immortal

    Chapter 1119: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_3 Chapter 1119: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_3 Chen Mobai, to avoid attracting attention and to avoid suspicion, stopped actively following the matter after he killed the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard in Red Sandstone City.


    He really didn¡¯t know about the things Lan Haitian had mentioned.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    At the top of Danxia Mountain, where Biyu Wutong resided, was a Rank-4 superior Spirit Vein, and moreover, it was a Fire Vein, which for Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation, would definitely be much better than remaining in Yu Wood City.


    Therefore, he sincerely stood up and expressed his thanks to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Let¡¯s keep in touch more often, I¡¯ve always regarded you as a friend,¡±


    Lan Haitian said with a smile before leaving.


    Lin Yin performed a slight bow towards Chen Mobai at the door and then closed the door of the VIP lounge.


    Once he was alone, Chen Mobai sat on the sofa, picked up the files from the table, and started reading through each document carefully and thoroughly.


    After he had read through all the contents, he organized them into a bundle and tucked it into his Domain.


    Then he pondered for a while and made a call to Wang Shuye.


    ¡°Oh, I haven¡¯t paid attention to this matter, but you¡¯ve come to the right person if you want to transfer your residence from Yu Wood City to Red Sandstone City,¡±


    As the second-in-command of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee, Wang Shuye was within his rights to manage matters like the relocation of council members¡¯ residences.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Wang!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately gave his thanks.


    ¡°The rules of Immortal Gate state that a councilor needs to wait twenty years before they can transfer residences, so you are still officially the councilor of Yu Wood City. However, I can propose that Red Sandstone City lacks a Golden Core Master and, having been a place of infiltration by the Heretical Cult, which has been purged several times, requires a councilor with a firm approach to hold the fort.¡±


    ¡°In such a troubled place, other councilors will certainly avoid it as much as they can. Then, I¡¯ll get a member of the Rotational Committee, who is not from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, to suggest that since you are already stationed in the neighboring Yu Wood City, it would make sense to include Red Sandstone City under your jurisdiction as well, allowing you to control both cities.¡±


    ¡°I will inform the other members whose terms are ending and who qualify to be stationed in Red Sandstone City that the decision has already been made in your favor.¡±


    ¡°Once the proposal is passed, you will be able to smoothly take your position at Danxia Mountain. With the Rank-4 superior Spirit Vein there, your cultivation will progress more rapidly towards Golden Core Perfection.¡±


    Wang Shuye lived up to his reputation as the spokesperson of Dance Tool Dao Academy at Immortal Gate; Chen Mobai had only shared his thoughts, and Wang had already taken care of everything from start to finish.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai was extremely grateful that he performed well in the entrance exams and got into the Daoist Academy.


    Without such connections, even if he truly had the Qualification of Divinity Transformation, he would still have to stay in Yu Wood City for the full twenty years before he could apply to be stationed in Red Sandstone City, and even then, it might not be approved by the Kaiyuan Hall.


    After the call ended, Chen Mobai felt elated.


    Just then, the time to board the train had arrived. He took the VIP passageway and went directly into his own luxurious private compartment without needing a ticket check.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    On the third stop after the train had left Wangwu Cave Heaven, a friend who had arranged to meet him boarded the train.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    At the familiar sound of knocking, Chen Mobai saw a lady with an attractive figure standing at the door, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses covering half of her delicate face.


    The one needing such a disguise was naturally the celebrity Meng Huang.


    Today, she was wearing a soft yellow dress that fell above her knees, beneath which were a pair of snow-white, long, straight and shapely legs.

 Chapter 1120 - Chapter 1120 Chapter 616 Turbulence (Additional chapter for

    Chapter 1120: Chapter 616 Turbulence (Additional chapter for 10,400 monthly votes) Chapter 1120: Chapter 616 Turbulence (Additional chapter for 10,400 monthly votes) This time, when Chen Mobai came over for his report, Meng Huang happened to be on a performance tour with a literary and art troupe in another city, which was quite an unfortunate coincidence.


    However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.


    After checking the tour itinerary, Meng Huang had Chen Mobai book this train ticket for her.


    The station where she boarded the train was one of the tour locations, and the next city she needed to visit was conveniently reachable by the same train.


    Although they only had a little over two hours together, which seemed brief for two people who hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, it was still enough to vent their long-pent-up feelings of missing each other.


    As the train continued its journey on the tracks, the carriage jostled and trembled incessantly, and at some point, the thick windows had fogged up with a layer of faint condensation. Through the hazy mist, the slender and fair right hand of someone surfaced, pressing against the glass and slowly sliding down, leaving a shallow trail before suddenly disappearing¡­


    After they were done, the radiant Meng Huang got dressed, but when she prepared to get out of bed, her high heels were nowhere to be found by the bedside.


    It was only after releasing her divine sense that she found them at the foot of the table in front of the sofa.


    She immediately remembered that upon entering this carriage, the two of them had enjoyed a few drinks on the sofa, and halfway through, she couldn¡¯t contain her long-standing yearning any longer and began to ask Councilor Chen for his guidance and effort.


    Thinking back on it, Meng Huang¡¯s pretty face flushed slightly. Barefoot with her snow-white legs, she stepped out of the bed and sat down by the sofa.


    Just as she was putting on her white stilettos, the bathroom door opened, and Chen Mobai, having finished his shower, stepped out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget the things on the table.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Meng Huang saw the eight gleaming and round pearls on the table, feeling an unprecedented sweetness and happiness in her heart.


    It was seeing these that had made her lose restraint earlier on.


    ¡°What a pity there was so little time.¡±


    Meng Huang spoke with a sense of indulgent aftertaste.


    By then she had put on her high heels, fastening the delicate ankle straps. The patent leather straps and her beautiful snow-white instep blended together perfectly. Chen Mobai followed his gaze upward to her straight and slender legs, made even more graceful and light by her long-time stage performances.


    Meng Huang turned around intending to tidy up her makeup in the reflection of the glass, when she suddenly felt a tightening around her waist¨CChen Mobai had already sat down on the sofa and pulled her over.


    ¡°I need to get off at the next stop¡­¡±


    As Meng Huang spoke, her striking figure lost balance and involuntarily reached out, pressing against the glass behind the sofa to stabilize herself.


    Though the glass was warded to be one-way, allowing sight only from the inside out, in such a special scenario and with the pressing tick-tock of time, she felt an intense thrill.


    ¡°There¡¯s still half an hour left, that¡¯s plenty¡­¡±


    Within the brief exchange, the temperature in the room began to rise, and a misty vapor spread across the glass with their breaths.


    A crisp snap sounded¨Cit was the ankle strap of the high heel that Meng Huang had just fastened coming undone again due to the violent shaking of the carriage, followed by the sound of the high heel hitting the floor.


    The whistle of the train sounded in succession, signaling to the passengers that the train had reached the station.


    Meng Huang quickly put on her shoes, slipped on sunglasses and a hat, and walked off the train.


    When Chen Mobai disembarked at Yu Wood City, he was still savoring the melodious singing of Meng Huang, and he raised his palm as if the slick touch still lingered with sweat.


    Now, their mutual aid in cultivation practice was no longer of much use, but the pleasure they found in both spirit and body made them feel an unprecedented satisfaction.


    Sometimes, such euphoric release of mind and body can truly make a cultivator lose themselves in indulgence.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai was a man of resolute will, and after savoring the memories for half a day, he returned to his regular duties.


    Since the matter of Red Sandstone City had been fully taken over by Wang Shuye, he only needed to wait for the results, so he went back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    No sooner had he left his seclusion than an expected visitor arrived at his door, carrying two fish.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I heard about your mighty feats in Yun Meng Ze, how you slew two Rank-3 demonic beasts. Those inner cores¡­¡±


    The former Sect Leader, Meng Hong, rambled on and finally stated his intentions with some embarrassment.


    It was all about the heterodox Golden Core technique!


    For him, this might be the only chance to experience the Golden Core Realm.


    ¡°These two inner cores are of wind and water attributes, which don¡¯t perfectly align with your Longevity Scripture.¡±


    When Chen Mobai had just established his Foundation, Meng Hong had helped him greatly, and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin had made a magnificent contribution to his renown in the Sword Dao. Naturally, he was inclined to bestow the inner cores on Meng Hong.


    ¡°Wind attribute is similar to the Wood Spirit Root. I think it¡¯s worth a try.¡±


    Although the Eastern Wilderness didn¡¯t research Spirit Roots as thoroughly as the Immortal Gates, they still had a basic understanding.


    The Wind Spiritual Root was a mutation of the Wood and Water Spiritual Roots, and indeed, there were traces to follow if Meng Hong were to practice the heterodox Golden Core technique with it.


    If the two Rank-3 inner cores could indeed cultivate two Golden Core level fighters for the Divine Wood Sect, then the sect could truly dominate the Eastern Wilderness once and for all.


    It¡¯s just that, within the sect, the only two qualified to use heterodox Golden Cores, Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu, were both practicing the Longevity Scripture.


    While it was certain that the wind attribute Monster Beast Inner Pill would be given to the more senior Meng Hong, Chu Zuoshu was unable to make use of the remaining water attribute inner core.


    ¡°`


    However, he had already made up his mind: the rich water should not flow into the fields of others.


    This inner core, he would give it to Luo Yixuan, who had suffered ten years of torment in Huangquan for him.


    Because she had been transformed into a ghost fetus in the womb, she had already missed ten years of cultivation, so he, as her mentor, must find a way to compensate her.


    ¡°How much sect contribution is left in your account?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Meng Hong, as there might be more monster beast inner pills in the future. For the development and cohesiveness of the sect, they would surely be listed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    He needed to establish a standard for exchange.


    ¡°After many years of savings, there are four hundred and seventy thousand.¡±


    Meng Hong answered truthfully; after all, he was an incorruptible sect leader.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s set it at three hundred thousand sect contributions for one Rank-3 monster beast inner pill.¡±


    At the words of Chen Mobai, Meng Hong nodded happily. Soon after, Luo Xue¡¯er received a transmission through the Heavenly Communication Device, stating that any spirit objects of Rank-3 or above to be listed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion must go through her, being the actual manager of the Reward Virtue Hall.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, upon hearing that it was a Rank-3 monster beast inner pill, looked at Meng Hong with envious eyes.


    She too was a cultivator at the latter phase of Foundation Establishment and believed she could attempt Core Formation. Although the heterodox golden core transmutation technique was very dangerous, she would not hesitate if she were offered an outer path golden core.


    Chen Mobai used the Rank-3 inner core to obtain three hundred thousand sect contributions from the Reward Virtue Hall, then the hall listed it on the exchange catalog of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and finally Meng Hong went to exchange it at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    ¡°To refine this Rank-3 inner core into an outer path golden core, an outstanding alchemist and artifact refiner need to take action. I¡¯ll go look for Zeng Woyou and Wang Tingbo.¡±


    Having decided this, Meng Hong began making preparations to refine the outer path golden core.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that Zeng Woyou might not be up to the task. Since he was going to trade with Yan Shaoyin anyway, he might as well lend a hand.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    When Meng Hong heard that Chen Mobai was going to ask Yan Shaoyin to help him refine the outer path golden core, he was deeply moved.


    After all, in his heart, he was not very confident in Zeng Woyou¡¯s abilities, considering that this was his only inner core.


    Yet, the best alchemist he could find in the entire Eastern Wasteland was Zeng Woyou.


    Above him were Yan Shaoyin and his two disciples.


    However, Meng Hong believed that Back to Sky Valley would certainly not help Divine Wood Sect gain another Golden Core power.


    So hearing Chen Mobai say this, he felt even more that the Sect Leader had vast divine powers.


    ¡°Do not publicize this matter. My cooperation with Yan Shaoyin needs to be discussed in person before it can be finalized.¡±


    After returning to the sect, Chen Mobai received a message from Liu Wenbo. It said that after Yan Shaoyin had seen the catalog of the Longevity Elixir Scripture, his hands were trembling, and he immediately proposed to meet and discuss the matter.


    The meeting place was temporarily set at the border of the territories.


    There was a Mount Wanxiang, where the Loose Repair Alliance established a Fang Market. Being located between the Five Elements, Divine Wood, and Back to Sky, disciples of the three sects often exchanged spiritual objects there, making it somewhat famous in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Since it was the time to harvest Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, Yan Shaoyin did not want the people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to know about his deal with Chen Mobai, so he chose this place.


    After handling sect affairs, Chen Mobai did not delay and quietly set off for Mount Wanxiang.


    There was also a Little Nan Mountain Shop there.


    Chen Mobai waited on the second floor for a while before Liu Wenbo arrived with Yan Shaoyin.


    ¡°Long time no see, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Yan Shaoyin was very polite. Chen Mobai smiled and invited him to sit down while Liu Wenbo started serving tea to the two Golden Core cultivators.


    ¡°Which three elixir recipes would Master Yan like to choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, already baiting Yan Shaoyin with the temptation, and he agreed without any hesitation.


    However, Liu Wenbo only brought over a catalog; the actual elixir recipes were still with Chen Mobai. Due to their significant value, Yan Shaoyin had to come in person.


    ¡°Infant-Feeding Elixir, Return to True Elixir, Nirvana Pill!¡±


    Yan Shaoyin stated his choices.


    The Infant-Feeding Elixir is self-explanatory, the Return to True Elixir is a kind of elixir that enhances the spiritual power of late Golden Core cultivators, which is just right for Yan Shaoyin.


    And the Nirvana Pill is used to enhance the body, allowing a cultivator to undergo a transformation, raising the level of their Body Training Technique. In addition to vigorous vital energy, it can also repair bodily defects and expel impurities such as elixir toxins from the body during the process.

    For the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators who are constantly popping pills to enhance themselves, this is considered a supreme elixir.


    ¡°That¡¯s possible, but I have three conditions.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were not unexpected to Yan Shaoyin, given the value of the three elixir recipes far exceeded that of the three Green Charm Spiritual Trees.


    ¡°Please speak, Sect Master Chen!¡±

 Chapter 1121 - Chapter 1121 Chapter 617 Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation

    Chapter 1121: Chapter 617: Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation Complete Chapter 1121: Chapter 617: Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation Complete Chen Mobai: ¡°I¡¯ve slain two Rank-3 demonic beasts and acquired two inner cores. I need Master Yan to help refine them into Heterodox Golden Cores.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin: ¡°No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°These three elixir recipes are for your use alone, you must not teach them to anyone else.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin: ¡°No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Lastly, each time you refine these three types of elixirs, I want half of the batch!¡±


    This third demand caused Yan Shaoyin to hesitate, as he furrowed his brows and seemed somewhat reluctant.


    Yan Shaoyin: ¡°I¡¯ve previously worked with Daoist Brother Zhou Shengqing to refine the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills. Why not follow that same model for our cooperation?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai understood what Yan Shaoyin was worried about.


    The sheer quantity and rarity of the medicinal herbs required by these three elixir recipes, even for Back to Sky Valley with its leading medicinal fields in the Eastern Wilderness, would be a painful loss should they fail even once.


    If Chen Mobai wanted to share half of the elixir profits, he would also need to contribute half of the raw materials needed for the refinement.


    ¡°Agreed!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought it over and felt this was acceptable.


    After all, in the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Yan Shaoyin was capable of refining the Infant-Feeding Elixirs.


    Not to mention that in the Tianhe Realm, elixir recipes are considered even more precious, and though the Eastern Wilderness has only one Rank-4 Alchemist, there are other, even more outstanding alchemists in Dongwu and among the East Barbarians, some surpassing Yan Shaoyin.


    Therefore, faced with Chen Mobai, who possesses the elixir recipes, Yan Shaoyin inherently lacks confidence.


    The two men struck an agreement and both took a Dao Heart Oath.


    Then, Chen Mobai handed over the ¡°Return to True Elixir¡± recipe to Yan Shaoyin, who, with the eye of a Rank-4 Alchemist, couldn¡¯t help but marvel after verifying it.


    ¡°Indeed, as expected of an alchemy recipe from an ancient great teaching, it so harmoniously balances the monarch, ministers, literati, and warriors. It¡¯s just a pity that some of the medicinal herbs have gone extinct; alternative materials must be found.¡±


    The alchemy recipe given to Yan Shaoyin was already modified by Chen Mobai to replace the herbs from the Immortal Gate with names from the Tianhe Realm. For those herbs that did not exist, he provided alternate names, annotating their effects and the environment where they grew alongside.


    After discussing with Chen Mobai, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s admiration for the young Sect Master Chen grew even more.


    The man also had extraordinary skills in alchemy.


    ¡°So, Orchid Grass is actually such a thing¡­¡±


    Upon learning the habits and effects of the final unheard-of herb in the recipe from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth, Yan Shaoyin felt an urge to immediately start gathering medicinal materials and begin alchemy.


    However, he remembered the promise he had made to Chen Mobai.


    First, he was to help refine two Heterodox Golden Cores!


    ¡°Do we need an Artifact Refiner to assist on the side? Should I find someone, or will Sect Master Chen call upon Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Master Wang?¡±


    ¡°Since we¡¯re going to refine, we naturally have to provide the best conditions.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly. These Heterodox Golden Cores were crucial for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s hopes of having two cultivators reach the Golden Core stage. The favors he had accumulated were aptly used here.


    If Yan Shaoyin was the number one Alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Then the Artifact Refiner must also be the top in the Eastern Wilderness!


    In the Fire Country, in the Fire Truth Palace.


    Sheng Zhaoxi, who had returned from Yun Meng Ze and was recuperating from injuries, nodded slightly after reading the letter in his hands.


    Not long after, on Lonely Mountain in the restricted area of Back to Sky Valley.


    Three renowned Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness sat cross-legged in front of a massive Pill Furnace, jointly refining the Heterodox Golden Core!


    Among them, the main forces were still Yan Shaoyin and Sheng Zhaoxi.


    Chen Mobai mainly guarded the two and provided some assistance on the side.


    After all, he also possessed knowledge of Artifact Refining and Alchemy, which allowed him to lend a hand where possible.


    The Fourth-Order Fire Vein of Lonely Mountain, truly worthy of the Eastern Wilderness, endlessly spouted Earth-Core True Fire, which was absorbed by the Rank-3 Heaven Returning Furnace. This furnace refined various types of medicinal materials into colorful juices and, following a special method, condensed them drop by drop onto the monster beast inner pills.


    Although it was Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s first attempt at refining Heterodox Golden Cores, he and Yan Shaoyin had discussed all the crucial points prior to the process, hence, smoothly cooperating with Yan Shaoyin to purify the essence and soul remnants within the inner core.


    After the final step of transforming the demonic Qi in the inner core into a powerful energy that human bodies could wield was complete, all three couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    It was fortunate that Yan Shaoyin was a Rank-4 Alchemist who had observed others refining Heterodox Golden Cores at the Starry Sky Commerce Guild several times; otherwise, the process would not have gone so smoothly.


    After the first Heterodox Golden Core was completed, the three did not rest, but continued with vigor to refine the second aquatic-type monster beast inner core as well.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Master Yan. Here is the Alchemy Recipe for the ¡®Nirvana Dan.''¡±


    Chen Mobai placed the two Heterodox Golden Cores¨Cone verdant green and one dark blue¨Cinto a Jade Vial he had prepared, and then handed over the second recipe.


    ¡°Sheng Shijie, you¡¯ve worked hard too.¡±


    Chen Mobai turned to Sheng Zhaoxi, who had specifically come over to help. Due to the need for the Heaven Returning Furnace and the power of the Fourth-Order Fire Vein here, they could only request her presence.


    ¡°My life is owed to you; it¡¯s only right that I work hard.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sheng Zhaoxi, however, merely shook her head, unconcerned. She also had a keen interest in refining Heterodox Golden Cores, and as such, helping out was like acquiring the method for free.


    After the refinement was complete, Sheng Zhaoxi bid her farewell.


    However, before leaving, she did not miss the opportunity to obtain some healing elixirs from Yan Shaoyin.


    Of course, these were exchanged for Spirit Stones.


    Largely due to Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, as it had been a long time since Yan Shaoyin had sold any of his refined elixirs to the Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 1122 - Chapter 1122 Chapter 617 Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation_2

    Chapter 1122: Chapter 617 Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation_2 Chapter 1122: Chapter 617 Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation_2 He would rather sell to the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, even if the price was a bit lower.


    Because he didn¡¯t want the Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness to have their realms advance and break through because of the elixirs he refined.


    It was only because Chen Mobai was present that Yan Shaoyin reluctantly opened his own elixir storeroom, allowing Sheng Zhaoxi to choose some suitable for her recovery.


    Chen Mobai understood the mentality in the Eastern Wilderness of trying to hold others back, but he preferred mutual internal competition.


    He had even already made plans to upgrade the Sect competition of the Divine Wood Sect, to eventually allow Foundation Establishment Practitioners to participate as well.


    The stakes might as well be a Heterodox Golden Core!


    He didn¡¯t believe the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners wouldn¡¯t be stirred up!


    After Yan Shaoyin examined the Nirvana Dan, he had some confusion about this ancient alchemy recipe of the Longevity Sect and immediately sought guidance from the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect before him.


    Chen Mobai shared everything he knew, after all, if it was successfully refined in the future, he would get half of it.


    Therefore, the more comprehensively Yan Shaoyin understood the alchemy recipe, the better.


    After an in-depth conversation about the two alchemy recipes, Yan Shaoyin had no doubt about Chen Mobai¡¯s identity as the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect.


    He also felt fortunate that he had chosen to cooperate genuinely, for without Chen Mobai¡¯s explanations, he would have no idea how to start with an ancient recipe that contradicts the current alchemy system of the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, although I promised to give you three of the most precious Green Charm Spiritual Trees, such Spirit Plants have failed to survive more than twenty transplant attempts without the soil nourished by a Dragon Vein.¡±


    When Yan Shaoyin took Chen Mobai to Little Leaf Mountain in Flower Country, he conscientiously advised him in his capacity as an alchemist.


    ¡°Jian Country borders Flower Country, and there actually is Qi of Dragon Vein among the mountain ranges on the border, where I plan to transplant the Green Charm Spiritual Trees first,¡± said Chen Mobai, voicing the excuse he had thought up in advance, but this was also the truth.


    The civilization of Flower Country that nurtured the Dragon Pulse had once ruled several nearby countries, including Jian Country, and so there were also branches of Dragon Pulse within it.


    However, compared to the vast Spirit Field of Flower Country, suitable to cultivate patches of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, the Dragon Vein Tributary in Jian Country could support, at most, several dozen acres.


    To plant three Green Charm Spiritual Trees, one could only say it was barely sufficient.


    But upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s frown eased somewhat.


    As an alchemist, his care for high-grade Spiritual Plants was as deep as if they were his blood relatives.


    If Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have any plan and only thought of digging up the Green Charm Spiritual Trees, then obviously the three precious trees would only face withering.


    If they were to be transplanted to a Spirit Field with a Dragon Vein Tributary, at least they might survive. Even if they fell in grade due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, Yan Shaoyin felt that after his own ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he could press the Divine Wood Sect to bring the three trees back to Little Leaf Mountain in Flower Country.


    [It¡¯s like leaving them in Jian Country for the time being.]


    With this in his mind, Yan Shaoyin closed his eyes and refused to keep watching the sight of Chen Mobai digging into the ground.


    To transplant the three precious tea trees, Chen Mobai had specifically sent Liu Wenbo back to Giant Tree Ridge to bring Zhuo Ming over.


    Through her All Things Spiritual Communication, she selected the three most vibrant Green Charm Spiritual Trees, which showed a willingness to be moved.


    Chen Mobai applied a great force, directly uprooting the tea trees along with the soil they were in.


    Soon, three pits that pained Yan Shaoyin¡¯s heart appeared at the center of the mountaintop tea grove on Little Leaf Mountain.


    He watched the colorful clouds in the sky carrying away the three tea trees and silently recited the alchemy recipe of the Infant-Feeding Elixir, his gaze growing increasingly firm.


    He must reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± before this Sect Master Chen, he absolutely cannot allow Back to Sky Valley to once again experience the plight it faced during the time of Ancestor Hunyuan.


    After leaving Flower Country, Chen Mobai, along with Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo, followed the direction of the Dragon Pulse until they reached a lake called Flying Dragon Pool on the border of Jian Country.


    ¡°Master, the Dragon Vein Tributary circulates here, forming a Spiritual Pivot,¡± said Zhuo Ming, whose talent meant that she found learning Earth Master to be easier than dealing with Spiritual Plants. She took out the All-things Altruistic Cauldron and while scanning the mountains and earth along the way, she managed to find a trace of Qi of Creation.


    This time Chen Mobai did not share the find; instead, he let Zhuo Ming keep it for herself in the cauldron, planning to let her slowly refine it after returning to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°`


    And after arriving at Flying Dragon Pool, Zhuo Ming not only discovered a Spiritual Pivot of the Dragon Vein tributary but also stumbled upon a wisp of Qi of Creation.


    The successive findings made Chen Mobai wonder if confining Zhuo Ming to Xiao Nanshan every day had been a waste.


    If she were to travel across half of the Eastern Wilderness under the Divine Wood Sect, might she be able to gather a complete strand of Qi of Creation?


    That would be equivalent to the foundation of a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root!


    Hmm¡­


    If the numerical value of earth spirit root were raised above 80 points, and with a full strand of Qi of Creation, wouldn¡¯t it be possible to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit?


    Chen Mobai suddenly pondered this question.


    ¡°Master, Green Chan is quite satisfied with the soil here and can grow and sprout.¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming, who had already planted one of the tea trees on the central island of the lake using All Things Spiritual Communication, waved happily at Chen Mobai and reported the transplantation process.


    ¡°Let¡¯s establish this place as an annex of Xiao Nanshan. I¡¯ll set up a Formation here, and later Wen Bo can post a task at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to recruit a disciple proficient in spirit plants to take care of this tea tree.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately agreed.


    After planting the Green Charm, Zhuo Ming led Chen Mobai to another Dragon Vein tributary.


    But their luck wasn¡¯t as good this time.


    Not only was there no Qi of Creation, but the Spiritual Pivot of the Dragon Vein had already been used as a burial site.


    It was unknown which Earth Master had found such a geomantic treasure.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense surged forth and discovered that the buried corpse had already begun to grow hair, and its skin was tinged with a greenish hue of copper.


    If they were a few years later, it might have turned into a troublesome Bronze Armored Corpse.


    A bolt of Golden Flame descended from the sky, and in an instant, it turned the corpse and the deep grave into ashes.


    Cultivators don¡¯t have the same sense of inauspiciousness as mortals. Zhuo Ming waited until the magma, boiled by the Golden Flame, cooled and solidified, then dug a pit on top of the Dragon Vein Spiritual Pivot and planted the second Green Chan Tea Tree.


    The third tea tree, however, was to be planted in Xiao Nanshan.


    For this purpose, Zhuo Ming specifically excavated a whole Storage Bag of Spirit Soil from Little Leaf Mountain in Flower Country.


    Because it was uncertain whether her Mother Qi of All Things could imitate the effect of the Dragon Vein soaking, Chen Mobai, following the approach he had described to Yan Shaoyin, found two Dragon Vein tributaries in Jian Country and planted two of the trees, to avoid a total loss should the one in Xiao Nanshan perish.


    It turned out that the Mother Qi of All Things was indeed effective.


    However, when compared to genuine Dragon Vein Spirit Soil, it was somewhat insufficient. After taking root in Xiao Nanshan, the Spiritual Energy of the Green Charm Spiritual Tree dropped a level instantly.


    If it weren¡¯t for the few drops of undiluted Tai Sui Juice that Zhuo Ming added, this originally Third Rank Superior Grade Green Charm Spiritual Tree might have directly fallen to Lower-grade.


    But the good news was that the tea tree took root in Xiao Nanshan.


    With that, Chen Mobai could start preparing for the Enlightenment White Tea to level up.


    This Immortal Cultivation Tea Seed provided by Wen Ren Xuewei, aside from its natural growth, had a very special way to level up.


    It involved planting different tea trees with it on the same Earth Vein, and then using a special guiding technique to allow the Enlightenment White Tea to absorb the essence of the Green Charm Spiritual Tree.


    The Third Rank Enlightenment White Tea from Jumang Academy had been upgraded after feeding on the essence of thirteen different kinds of tea trees.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s most proud creation, her dream was to upgrade her cultivated Enlightenment White Tea to a true Enlightenment Tea.


    Although it was not known how many different kinds of spiritual tea were needed, Wen Ren Xuewei was working hard towards this goal.


    After learning of this method, Chen Mobai has been thinking about it as well.


    After all, the Tianhe Realm is vast and has more varieties of spiritual tea than the Immortal Gates.

    Chapter 1123: Chapter 618: The Third Generation Eldest Disciple Chapter 1123: Chapter 618: The Third Generation Eldest Disciple ¡°`


    ¡°Indeed, the root systems of the two tea trees have already been guided to connect. Soon after, this Enlightenment White Tea should be able to upgrade to a Rank-2 top-grade tea.¡±


    After Zhuo Ming completed the task, Chen Mobai inspected the results and lavishly praised his precious disciple.


    In the field of Spirit Plants, Zhuo Ming¡¯s level, even if compared to the Immortal Gate, is already at the top of Rank-3 Spirit Plant Masters.


    In fact, she might even surpass some Rank-4 masters in specific aspects.


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Master¡¯s teaching.¡±


    Zhuo Ming humbly responded.


    ¡°Master, now that Senior Sister Zhuo has mastered the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, can we also transplant a Rank-3 tea tree from the Snow Peak Bai Family?¡±


    After hearing about the special leveling-up method of Enlightenment White Tea, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and she thought of the highly renowned Snow Needle Immortal Bud.


    ¡°I never bully others by flaunting my status.¡±


    However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai tapped Luo Yixuan on the forehead. Although this little disciple was clever and well-behaved, she harbored the pure mindset of a local from the Eastern Wilderness, and despite teaching her for many years, she would occasionally reveal her true nature.


    Xue Ting, who was standing to the side, couldn¡¯t help but show a look of respect upon hearing the conversation between master and disciple.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s current identity and status, if he were to hint at wanting the Snow Needle Immortal Bud, it¡¯s likely that without needing the Divine Wood Sect to take action, the Snow Peak Bai Family would voluntarily dig up and deliver the thousand-year-old tea tree to his doorstep.


    Yet, he has always been restrained, maintaining a sage-like composure, completely out of step with the murky world of the Eastern Wilderness.


    It was precisely for this reason that Xue Ting admired him deeply.


    ¡°How is Niece Xue¡¯s injury?¡±


    Just then, a gentle voice sounded by her ear. Chen Mobai¡¯s concern made Xue Ting bow slightly, indicating she was much better, though her vital essence was recovering slowly. She was still undergoing dietary rehabilitation and it might take another two months before she could fully recover.


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. Sect Leader Zhu from the Snow-blowing Palace is aware of Qi Cuizhen¡¯s defection. She learned that you were saved by our sect and specifically wrote a letter to express her thanks, also mentioning she would like to take you back for treatment.¡±


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s return, Yue Zutao had mentioned this matter. When he came to look at the Enlightenment White Tea and saw Xue Ting there, he brought it up.


    ¡°I have been imposing on Sect Master Chen during this time. Now that my injuries have improved, I think it¡¯s time for me to take my leave.¡±


    Xue Ting also felt it was inappropriate to remain in Xiao Nanshan as an outsider for so long. Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, she took the opportunity to bid farewell.


    ¡°Stay for another two months. I will reply to Sect Leader Zhu on this matter.¡±


    But Chen Mobai shook his head, insistent on seeing her off properly, having already taken care of her for nearly half a year. He preferred that Xue Ting completely recuperate at Xiao Nanshan before returning.


    ¡°I will heed Sect Master Chen¡¯s arrangements.¡±


    After hearing this, Xue Ting lowered her head, her lips curling into a faint smile of gratitude towards Chen Mobai.


    After the customary meal, Chen Mobai took Liu Wenbo under the Immortal Peach Tree.


    The master and disciple discussed the current situation of Little Nan Mountain Shop. Over the years, thanks to the outstanding talisman papers and inks produced by industrial manufacturing, they had cornered the market for low-end talisman paper in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    Now, almost all Loose Cultivators have abandoned the traditional method of producing talisman paper, which was time-consuming, often irregular in thickness, and prone to breaking.


    It is only some foresighted members of the sects who see the danger in Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s dumping of industrial talisman paper, making efforts to resist it.


    However, faced with industrially produced talisman paper that is soft, smooth, and flawless, with each sheet uniform in size, even many disciples from major sects like the Five Elements Sect and Back to Sky Valley defy their sects¡¯ wishes and invest in Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    And with the widespread sale of talisman paper, the matching Xiao Nan Ink naturally also affected the Eastern Wilderness Cultivators.


    This conveniently carried, ready-to-use ink, while not exceptional in quality, is stable and has completely dominated the market for Rank-1 talisman ink.


    Today, nearly ninety percent of Loose Cultivators are using the affordable and high-quality talisman paper and ink. Major sects like the Five Elements Sect still maintain control, at least outwardly supporting their own talisman paper and ink.


    But the traditional talisman paper and ink markets of the second and third-tier sects, as well as most Cultivator Families, have been completely crushed by Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s dumping over these six or seven years.


    Now serving the entire Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai¡¯s Puppet Factory is operating at overcapacity each year and still struggling to meet the demand.


    Faced with a shortage of goods and increasing demand, Liu Wenbo suggests whether it might be necessary to raise prices to control it.


    ¡°We need to maintain our reputation, so let¡¯s not increase prices for now. However, those extra giveaways of talisman paper and inks we were doing before can be stopped.¡±


    Now that the market has been established, with the traditional talisman paper and ink producers of the Eastern Wilderness either becoming distributors or changing their lines of work, there¡¯s no need to continue the giveaways.


    Liu Wenbo also mentioned that several commerce associations beyond the Eastern Wilderness had approached him with partnership proposals.


    They wish to sell Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s talisman paper and ink in places like Dongwu and the East Barbarians.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Decline for now.¡±


    Chen Mobai directly shook his head. Although Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t understand why, he nodded in agreement anyway.


    Following that, the master and disciple shifted their conversation to discuss the tea trees.


    Some of the wild tea trees from Giant Tree Ridge, those imbued with Spiritual Energy, had already been moved to Xiao Nanshan by Zhuo Ming, which was precisely why the Enlightenment White Tea was able to upgrade to Rank-2 so quickly.

 Chapter 1124 - Chapter 1124 Chapter 618 Third Generation Eldest Disciple_2

    Chapter 1124: Chapter 618: Third Generation Eldest Disciple_2 Chapter 1124: Chapter 618: Third Generation Eldest Disciple_2 And next, it was up to Liu Wenbo to collect tea trees from various places in the Eastern Wilderness that were not yet found on Xiao Nanshan through the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    Since each tea tree would differ due to variations in soil, climate, and Earth energy, and Zhuo Ming was just one person who ordinarily couldn¡¯t leave Little Nan Mountain, it was necessary to find someone specifically skilled to be in charge of this task.


    ¡°The Little Nan Mountain Shop recruits some clever and capable disciples from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in the sect every year, I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s anyone worth training,¡± Liu Wenbo said, familiar with the routine.


    The Little Nan Mountain Shop had now truly spread throughout the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Even the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley, and Yun Meng Ze had branch stores established.


    Obviously, Liu Wenbo couldn¡¯t personally manage each and every shop. As the largest enterprise under Chen Mobai¡¯s name, many disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were eager to join the Little Nan Mountain Shop and become a store manager of one of the branches.


    In this, influenced by Chen Mobai, the store managers Liu Wenbo recruited were not the ones with the highest cultivation level but those who were quick-witted.


    After all, who in the entire Eastern Wilderness didn¡¯t know that the Little Nan Mountain Shop was an enterprise of Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect? Moreover, they were basically situated in the busiest centers of the Fang Markets in various nations, where security was guaranteed, and there was no need for people with very high cultivation to be in charge.


    Of course, there were still many bold individuals in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Little Nan Mountain Shop, because of its prominence, had also been the target of a few thefts over the years.


    Among these, only one occurred within the territory under the Divine Wood Sect, in Sky Country. The aftermath had the local Town Guard, King Zhou, scared to death, leading his cultivators to turn Sky Country upside-down for half a month straight without rest.


    The major families in Sky Country were also in a state of anxiety, each conducting internal investigations and assisting King Zhou willingly.


    Eventually, after a month, the group of rogue cultivators responsible for the theft was found by King Zhou, and they were all executed without exception.


    When Liu Wenbo went to deal with the incident afterward, King Zhou personally apologized and compensated with several times the value of the stolen talisman paper and ink in spirit stones.


    Liu Wenbo felt that those rogue cultivators who had been wiped out weren¡¯t the ones who had stolen from the Little Nan Mountain Shop, but he gave face to King Zhou and let bygones be bygones.


    At least after this incident, no one dared to steal from the Little Nan Mountain Shop in the six nations under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s control.


    Because if anything happened, it was best if the thief were found, but if not, a group of rogue cultivators would be executed in their stead. This had led to the rogue cultivator groups in the Eastern Wilderness to issue a clandestine warrant that anyone daring to plunder the Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s possessions would be collectively executed along with three generations of their family.


    Over the years in business, Liu Wenbo had indeed come to appreciate the benefits of a high-profile backing.


    Wherever he went, he was treated as an honored guest.


    Recruiting various talents only required an announcement to be made through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and immediately many Qi Cultivating Disciples would come forward, allowing him to choose at will.


    Indeed, just after Liu Wenbo had posted the job for a cultivator skilled in tea tree spirit plants, more than thirty qualified candidates were promptly presented to him by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion¡¯s staff.


    Although Liu Wenbo also had some understanding of spirit plants, he meticulously invited Zhuo Ming to evaluate the ability of these candidates.


    That day, thirty-six Qi Cultivating Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect arrived at the foot of Little Nan Mountain.


    They were clearly there for the three new employee slots at the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    Many of them appeared restrained, standing in groups here and there, while some looked at the lush spirit fields not far away, with their heavy ears of grain hanging down, showing great admiration.


    These were all Rank-2 Green Jade Spirit Rice, which, since Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, had been distributed every year, sixty jin each, to Qi Cultivating Disciples.


    In addition to this Rank-2 spirit rice, the biannual Fire Spirit Rice was now able to be consumed daily by every disciple.


    Eating spirit rice every day was something that a decade ago, all disciples of the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t even dare to dream of.


    And thanks to the abundant supply of spirit rice, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect also found that breaking through realms seemed indeed to be easier than before.


    With the benefit of spirit rice, Chen Mobai¡¯s prestige had completely surpassed that of any other person in the Divine Wood Sect in the eyes of its lower-ranking disciples.


    ¡°Elder Wenbo has arrived!¡±


    As some people admired the various types of spirit rice on Little Nan Mountain, Liu Wenbo¡¯s Escaping Light descended, and everyone immediately greeted him with a bow.


    ¡°Hmm, now that everyone is here, take this wooden token. Soon, you will accompany me and Zhuo Shimei to the tea plantation halfway up the mountain to test your spirit planting skills,¡±


    Liu Wenbo distributed wooden tokens carved with ¡°Little Nan¡± to the thirty-six Qi Cultivating Disciples who had passed the initial selection of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, enabling them to pass through the Cloud Mist Array.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Liu, do we wait here for Elder Zhuo?¡±


    One of the disciples, who seemed to know Liu Wenbo, took the token and stood beside him, asking politely.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhuo Shimei already here? She arrived even earlier than I did.¡±


    Liu Wenbo frowned as he said this, then shouted toward a village girl not far off, wearing a straw hat and observing an acre of newly hybrid spiritual rice in the spirit field.


    Upon hearing his call, Zhuo Ming immediately flew over.


    The crowd couldn¡¯t help but look shocked; they hadn¡¯t expected such an inconspicuous person in the field to be the number one spirit planter from Divine Wood Sect.


    Some of the Qi Cultivating Disciples who had just been pointing at the spirit rice in the field turned pale.


    ¡°Everyone is here, let¡¯s go then.¡±


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t care about anyone¡¯s opinion, and took the lead towards the tea plantation on the mountainside.


    Liu Wenbo waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow, with him bringing up the rear.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Within the group, Han Zhiling looked at Song Huangdae beside her with surprise and suspicion. Hearing this, Song Huangdae also furrowed his eyebrows, looking troubled.


    ¡°You, as the valedictorian from the Longevity Academy, are you still lacking spirit stones?¡±


    Song Huangdae couldn¡¯t help but retort, truly by coincidence.


    He had received a mission to infiltrate Little Nan Mountain Shop and steal some core secrets.


    Therefore, after joining Divine Wood Sect, he had been taking odd jobs to shorten the process, eagerly waiting until the news of Liu Wenbo hiring came up from Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and he immediately made his way there.


    He mainly studied the Earth Master expertise, but in the Eastern Wilderness, Earth Master and spirit planting were inseparable, so he crammed some knowledge about tea trees and, after slipping a couple of spirit stones to the steward handling the initial selection at Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he came here with a nervous heart.


    Little did he know that upon arrival, he would see Han Zhiling as well.


    Although he tried his best to hide, when the two Foundation Establishment Practitioners asked them to take turns, he was still spotted by Han Zhiling.


    ¡°I want to apprentice under Elder Zhuo.¡±


    Han Zhiling hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.


    ¡°And I want to apprentice under Elder Liu.¡±


    Song Huangdae rolled his eyes and came up with an excuse following her statement.


    But within the entire Divine Wood Sect, who wouldn¡¯t want to join Little Nan Mountain?


    After Chen Mobai stopped taking in Qi Cultivating Disciples following his Core Formation, they focused their attention on Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.


    Becoming the eldest disciple of the third generation is also a decent choice!

    ¡°Then good luck to you!¡±


    Han Zhiling actually believed what Song Huangdae said, encouraging this fellow student and classmate from Longevity Academy who had also graduated and joined Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Mm-hmm!¡±


    Song Huangdae responded noncommittally.


    At this time, their group had already entered the tea plantation.

 Chapter 1125 - Chapter 1125 Chapter 619 The Opportunity of the Heavenly

    Chapter 1125: Chapter 619: The Opportunity of the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root Chapter 1125: Chapter 619: The Opportunity of the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root Soon, three people were selected.


    The remaining thirty-three Divine Wood Sect monks all descended the mountain with faces full of disappointment.


    Han Zhiling, Song Huangdae, and a former true disciple from the Spirit Plant Department named Pang Xigu were left behind in the tea garden.


    Among these three, Pang Xigu was naturally the most outstanding, with professional skills that were far superior to all the Qi Cultivating Disciples of this batch.


    However, the only concern was Pang Xigu¡¯s age; he was already over a hundred years old.


    Although his spirit was lively, his white hair and wrinkles on his face made Liu Wenbo worry about how many more years he could work.


    ¡°Pang Shizhu, our Little Nan Mountain Shop has been searching for tea trees throughout the Eastern Wilderness to brew new wines. It¡¯s a long-term process that may take a few decades or even a hundred years¡­¡±


    When Liu Wenbo recruited outstanding talent for tea trees in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he used the reason of brewing wine. Indeed, Zhuo Ming had a type of tea flower wine that, although mild in flavor, could enhance the heart and mind if consumed regularly.


    ¡°Elder Liu, rest assured, I have a son who also possesses a Spiritual Root. After becoming an employee of your shop, I will take him with me when I go out searching for tea trees. If I should die of old age, I hope my son can take over my position and be given a chance to make a living.¡±


    As Pang Xigu spoke, he also handed over his son¡¯s information to Liu Wenbo. His son possessed a mixed four-element Spiritual Root. Despite leveraging his father¡¯s connections to join the Divine Wood Sect, after decades of cultivation, he only reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation. Essentially, there was no chance for him to reach Foundation Establishment.


    And with such cultivation and Spiritual Root, he naturally could not join the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    But if he could hold a position at the Little Nan Mountain Shop, at least he would have no problem living out the rest of his days in peace.


    After discussing with Zhuo Ming, and confirming that Pang Xigu¡¯s understanding of tea trees was top-notch within the entire Divine Wood Sect, they nodded and gave him a chance.


    ¡°All right then, you start work first. The Little Nan Mountain Shop doesn¡¯t consider cultivation level when hiring staff. As long as your son has no issues with his abilities, he can take over your duties in the future.¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Elder Liu, thank you, Elder Zhuo. I will certainly teach him well.¡±


    Pang Xigu, well advanced in years, came out looking for work just for the sake of his son.


    Fortunately, although his son¡¯s Spiritual Root was average, he had a tenacious character. Having been exposed to the field of Spirit Plants since childhood, he had some entry-level knowledge. If he were to specialize in tea trees, becoming a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master wouldn¡¯t be a problem in the future.


    After sending Pang Xigu down the mountain to bring up his son, Liu Wenbo turned to Han Zhiling and Song Huangdae, waving them over.


    ¡°Since you are the chief graduate personally selected by the master, I¡¯ll give you the best task.¡±


    Liu Wenbo took out a map and another wooden plaque, handing them to Han Zhiling to take care of the Green Charm Spiritual Tree cultivated at the Flying Dragon Pool.


    After the annual harvest of tea leaves, she could take a two-month holiday.


    The Flying Dragon Pool had been arranged by Chen Mobai with a Large Formation, so the Qi of Dragon Vein no longer dissipated. Although most of the spiritual energy was supplied to the Rank-3 Green Charm Spiritual Tree, it still was a rare cultivation treasure for Qi Practitioners.


    Especially since the scenery at Flying Dragon Pool, with its lake and mountains, was picturesque, it was as if out of a poetic painting of an immortal realm when compared to Dragon Horn Trench where Song Huangdae would go, a place that had buried zombies.


    ¡°That¡­ um¡­¡±


    After Han Zhiling took the map and the plaque, the expression on her face hesitated.


    She wanted to ask Zhuo Ming to accept her as a disciple but did not know how to approach the subject.


    She couldn¡¯t help but look at Song Huangdae, curious about how her peer, who wanted to take Liu Wenbo as his master, would handle it.


    But to her surprise, Song Huangdae did not utter a word, his face exuding simple honesty as he accepted another set of papers and a plaque handed over by Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Song Shizhu, your understanding of tea trees can only be said to be passable. But do you know why Zhuo Shimei and I chose you?¡±


    ¡°It must be because Elder Liu knows of my lonely and difficult life, and takes pity on me.¡±


    Song Huangdae¡¯s face was filled with grateful emotion as he spoke, but Liu Wenbo directly shook his head, followed by Zhuo Ming opening a wooden box.


    Inside were several glass tubes the size of a thumb, a palm length long, and semi-transparent.


    ¡°The main reason is that in addition to understanding tea trees, you are also a talented Earth Master, and there happens to be something at Dragon Horn Trench that requires an Earth Master¡¯s extraction skills. These are Spirit Sealing Tubes, and this stack is Spirit Coagulation Talismans¡­¡±


    As Liu Wenbo spoke, he also took out a stack of Talisman Paper from his Storage Bag.


    This was naturally a task assigned by Chen Mobai.


    The purpose was to extract and preserve the Qi of Dragon Vein.


    This time, taking Zhuo Ming with him, Chen Mobai saw how easily she found two streams of Qi of Creation, and the ambition for the Primordial Dao Fruit surged in his heart once again.


    There are several methods in the Immortal Gate for enhancing an Earth Spirit Root, but all required cultivation.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s own time was pretty much fully booked, and he didn¡¯t want to delay his progress in improving his Cultivation Realm by practicing methods to enhance his Earth Spirit Root.


    So he chose the method proposed by Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Earth Veins Elixir!


    This was an elixir refined from the condensed spiritual energies of both dragon and earth veins, which, after ingestion, could enhance an Earth Spirit Root.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, due to resource scarcity within the Immortal Gate, it had been forbidden to be refined for the last three thousand years.


    Wen Ren Xuewei had consumed what was left from the wars when the ancestors of Jumang Academy extracted the Qi from dragon pulses and earth veins of Different Worlds to create reserves.


    This elixir could be taken by a cultivator up to nine times.


    Interestingly enough, how much it would enhance an Earth Spirit Root depended on the cultivator¡¯s luck.


    Each pill could increase the value between 1 to 5 points; the luckiest could gain an enhancement of 45 points to their Earth Spirit Root, while the least fortunate would only improve by 9 points.

 Chapter 1126 - Chapter 1126 Chapter 619 The Opportunity of the Heavenly

    Chapter 1126: Chapter 619: The Opportunity of the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root_2 Chapter 1126: Chapter 619: The Opportunity of the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root_2 ¡°`


    Regarding this, the Immortal Gate has conducted some research as well. Some theories suggest it is related to the cultivator¡¯s blessing and fortune while others believe it is about the proportion of Qi of Dragon Vein integrated during the elixir refinement, and still others think it¡¯s associated with the profound and deep culture of nurturing the Qi of Dragon Vein¡­


    However, due to the scarcity of Earth Veins Elixir samples, there is still no unified and clear explanation to date.


    Wen Ren Xuewei was able to enhance her Earth Spirit Root to over 80 points, not just through the nine Earth Veins Elixirs but also by practicing the Earth Gathering Art.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s current Earth Spirit Root is 20 points. The last time Zhuo Ming used the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to extract Qi of Creation, Chen Mobai, to be cautious, expelled all that entered his body and transferred it to the All Laws Persona.


    As a result, the All Laws Persona automatically refined the Qi of Creation into organs with Earth Attribute, missing an opportunity to enhance his Earth Spirit Root.


    But these were trifles. This time, by taking Zhuo Ming on a journey, he found two wisps of Qi of Creation again.


    Remembering that he shared ninety percent of the Qi of Creation last time and it still didn¡¯t affect Zhuo Ming¡¯s increase of 8 points in Earth Spirit Root, Chen Mobai cheekily asked Zhuo Ming for ten percent of these two wisps of Qi of Creation.


    After refining ten percent of the Qi of Creation from the Flying Dragon Pool, sure enough, Chen Mobai¡¯s Earth Spirit Root increased by 8 points.


    Then he made a trip to the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and upon his return, he immediately refined ten percent of the second wisp.


    This time, he was only able to increase by 6 points.


    However, these two instances of refining taught Chen Mobai the mystery behind using Qi of Creation to enhance Earth Spirit Root.


    This Qi of Creation represented the essence accumulated over tens of thousands of years by mountains and earth. Even just ten percent contained the complete Dao rhythm of that expanse of earth, and refining it would definitely improve the Spirit Root.


    Chen Mobai only took ten percent of two wisps, but both attempts successfully increased his Earth Spirit Root, which was proof enough.


    But the first increase was 8 points, and the second was 6 points, which means like other Spiritual Objects he consumed to improve the Spirit Root, the efficacy of Qi of Creation would gradually diminish until it had no effect at all.


    If it decreased by 2 points each time, this Qi of Creation could at most enhance the Earth Spirit Root by 20 points.


    For Chen Mobai, however, this was a pleasant surprise.


    After all, he can still consume nine Earth Veins Elixirs, and with a bit of luck, he could directly increase his Earth Spirit Root to above 80 points using both Qi of Creation and Earth Veins Elixirs.


    Even if his luck was not as good, it would not be a big deal; he could just spend a bit more time practicing the Immortal Gate¡¯s Earth Gathering Art to increase his Earth Spirit Root.


    Because the Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯s effect in assisting the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± can be said to be against heaven¡¯s will.


    Previously he thought it nearly impossible to increase his Earth Spirit Root to 80 points, hence he did not prioritize it.


    But now, with Zhuo Ming able to refine Qi of Creation and himself being the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, extracting Qi of Dragon Vein within his own territory to refine elixirs was not something anyone would dare to comment on, so he started to act on it.


    However, the Earth Veins Elixir is a Rank-3 Low-grade Alchemy Recipe. Although he could have Zeng Woyou help with the refinement, he felt that this was also a good opportunity to improve his own Alchemy skills.


    Moreover, he did not want this Alchemy Recipe to spread in the Barren East because if people knew that it could be used to improve the Earth Spirit Root, the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm would definitely extract all the Qi of Dragon Vein to enhance their own, leading to environmental depletion.


    Such an act of depleting the source is not permissible.


    Thus, Chen Mobai decided to refine it himself because, with his Core Formation cultivation level, if he focused on refining one type of Rank-3 elixir and had enough raw materials, he would surely succeed even if he failed a few times.


    So, while studying the Alchemy Recipe, Chen Mobai entrusted the task of extracting the Qi of Dragon Vein to his disciple.


    But the true reason for the extraction, he did not reveal to Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming. They thought Chen Mobai wanted to use the Qi of Dragon Vein to nourish the Green Charm Spiritual Tree in Xiao Nanshan, so while they took the issue seriously, they didn¡¯t feel the need to do it personally to the same extent.


    Zhuo Ming, as an Earth Master, naturally understood that extracting the Qi of Dragon Vein would cause the Green Chan Tea Tree planted above to be undernourished and decrease in grade.


    Because she received a wisp of Qi of Creation and also found the scenery of the Flying Dragon Pool beautiful and to her liking, she designated the Dragon Horn Trench, where zombies were once buried and which had an unpleasant view, as the location for extracting the Qi of Dragon Vein.


    ¡°Nephew Song, make sure you remember this!¡±


    ¡°`


    Zhuo Ming taught the method for extracting the Qi of the Dragon Vein and then turned to question Song Huangdae, who immediately nodded in confirmation.


    To this, Zhuo Ming was somewhat surprised; even the true disciples of the Spirit Vein Division might not be able to learn it at once. She then asked about some key nodes and techniques.


    But Song Huangdae answered without missing a single detail.


    [This little fellow really does have some talent in the art of being an Earth Master.]


    Liu Wenbo, who stood to the side, watched the scene and couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly; he then taught Song Huangdae how to use the Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Coagulation Talisman. However, the latter seemed to be less proficient with talismans, wasting several Spirit Coagulation Talismans before succeeding once.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had drawn sixty in one go; there were plenty to spare.


    ¡°With your cultivation level, you can probably extract one tube every three months. Since it will delay your cultivation, I¡¯ll give you an extra 40 Spirit Stones.¡±


    Liu Wenbo initially offered Pang Xigu a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones per year, and Han Zhiling, who was taking care of the Green Charm Spiritual Tree alongside Song Huangdae, was offered sixty per year.


    Now, considering that Song Huangdae couldn¡¯t carry out cultivation while extracting the Qi of Dragon Vein, his pay was also increased to one hundred.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Liu. I definitely won¡¯t let you down,¡± said Song Huangdae, pretending to be very excited.


    Upon hearing this, Han Zhiling, who stood nearby, hesitated to speak, seemingly desiring the same task. However, facing the pressure of two Foundation Establishment Practitioners, she ultimately didn¡¯t dare to speak up and could only lower her head in dejection.


    At this time, Pang Xigu, who had gone to pick up his son, also returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯ll take them away first then. If the master comes by, please report these matters to him,¡± Liu Wenbo said before dispersing his Green Scale Arm Guard, which formed into a cloud-like shape, and carrying Han Zhiling and the other three Qi Practitioners towards the Teleportation Array hall of Giant Tree Ridge.


    After watching them leave, Zhuo Ming picked up her bamboo basket and headed down the mountain. She hadn¡¯t finished observing the newly hybridized acre of Spirit Rice that had grown.


    No sooner had she left than a fist-sized piece of wood suddenly rolled out from behind a tea tree, then rapidly morphed into a centipede-shaped puppet bug.


    The puppet¡¯s eyes, seemingly carved out of rubies, flickered with a faint red light, displaying a trace of human-like fluctuations as it looked up towards the mountain peak.


    A beam of spiritual light descended, and a palace-dressed fairy with snow-white skin and extremely beautiful features glided through the sky.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t stop at the tea garden. She flew straight to the bottom of the mountain and joined Zhuo Ming. The two of them were soon chatting and laughing together.


    The puppet centipede seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but once Luo Yixuan left, it seized the opportunity to burrow into the ground and head towards the mountain peak.


    The top of Xiao Nanshan was once the cultivational ground of Elder Chen of the Divine Wood Sect before his Core Formation. Perhaps it could find the secret to his rapid cultivation progress.


    The centipede puppet burrowed from mid-mountain all the way to near the peak. Just when it estimated it was about to emerge, a terrifyingly vast Earth Spirit Power surged toward it.


    Accompanied by the sound of crunching and grinding, Tai Sui, having shrunk a little after being drained of its essence by Zhuo Ming, grew slightly fuller.


    It turned around discontentedly underground, then began hunting for various insect pests in the soil of Xiao Nanshan that contained spiritual energy.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhuo Ming had set rules¨Cit couldn¡¯t eat the roots of the Spirit Plants and others in the ground, but anything else that contained spiritual energy, like various stones and pests, were its food.


    Especially the latter¨Cif it ate a lot, Zhuo Ming would reward it with Spirit Stone and Spirit Rice or Spirit Meat.


    A creature must bow its head under the eaves.


    It kept dividing itself, scurrying around Xiao Nanshan and the nearby hundreds of acres of Spirit Field. In fact, these pests containing spiritual energy didn¡¯t taste that bad; they were crunchy and rich in nutrition.


    But the centipede it had today wasn¡¯t as good, tasting like rotting wood and as flavorless as chewing wax.

 Chapter 1127 - Chapter 1127 Chapter 620 Two Grand Spells

    Chapter 1127: Chapter 620: Two Grand Spells Chapter 1127: Chapter 620: Two Grand Spells Outside the Longevity Wood Dojo, a cyan beam of spiritual light descended, revealing Meng Hong¡¯s figure.


    The former Sect Leader, who had an elderly appearance, now seemed to have rejuvenated to youth, as his skin became smooth, and his wrinkles vanished.


    Although he was trying to conceal it, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal an excited and thrilled expression in his eyes.


    Chen Mobai received a message requesting an audience from Meng Hong and couldn¡¯t help but stop studying his alchemy.


    The room was filled with various herbs, some of which weren¡¯t quite suitable for meetings.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai somewhat missed Gu Yan¡¯s help, who usually had time to refine the Longevity Tree Sap and would also help tidy up for Chen Mobai.


    Sometimes, when meeting Sect disciples, Chen Mobai would let her open the Formation to assist in ushering them in.


    For this reason, in the hearts of the Divine Wood Sect members, Gu Yan was considered someone close to Chen Mobai, and they respected her greatly in their daily interactions.


    Luo Yixuan was indeed quite willing to do this job, but considering that she had delayed ten years of her time because of him, Chen Mobai had given her his original cultivation cabin at the peak of Xiao Nanshan, encouraging her to focus on her cultivation.


    For such trifling matters, he wouldn¡¯t bother her to come over, lest it hinder her cultivation.


    Fortunately, Gu Yan would soon return as well.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai felt that he might have to test the quality of the Heterodox Golden Core later and simply went downstairs.


    Just as he deactivated the Array Prohibition of the Longevity Wood Dojo, Meng Hong, who had turned from an old man to a middle-aged one, entered respectfully, continuously expressing his gratitude.


    The Heterodox Golden Core, being half elixir and half magic artifact, was quite easy for a cultivator to refine if the properties matched.


    Thus, it took Meng Hong only a month to successfully emerge from seclusion.


    However, the subsequent Golden Core Transposition Technique was a matter of life and death. If he couldn¡¯t achieve success in this step, he would perish in the attempt!


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, after I refined the Heterodox Golden Core, I discovered an unexpected gain,¡± said Meng Hong after expressing his thanks, revealing the other reason for his hasty visit¨Che had gained sixty years of lifespan.


    As for the exact reason, both of them had an immediate inkling.


    It was none other than the breakthrough to the fifteenth layer of the Longevity Scripture, which theoretically could only be accessed upon reaching the Golden Core Realm.


    Utilizing the power of the Heterodox Golden Core, Meng Hong had forcefully broken through this longstanding bottleneck.


    It was for this reason that even Meng Hong, with his experience of weathering great storms, couldn¡¯t control his excited emotions.


    You must know that he was already over 200 years old, and having injured his elemental energy due to a failed Core Formation, if it weren¡¯t for the sixty years added to his lifespan during Foundation Establishment, he would probably be on his deathbed.


    Since the Heterodox Golden Core isn¡¯t the cultivator¡¯s own realm, it doesn¡¯t add the four sixty-year periods of lifespan that come with the Golden Core Realm.


    As the first person in the Eastern Wilderness to break through to the fifteenth layer of the Longevity Scripture without forming a core, Meng Hong¡¯s rejuvenation became an example that made Chen Mobai marvel.


    Unfortunately, once the Heterodox Golden Core was refined, it had already bonded with the cultivator¡¯s essence, Qi, and spirit, rendering it ineffective for a second person.


    Otherwise, Chen Mobai was pondering whether this method could be used to add sixty years to the lifespan of Sect cultivators who had cultivated the Longevity Scripture to the completion of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°You currently have approximately eighty years of lifespan left, which is close to the end stage of your physical peak. Trying the Golden Core Transposition Technique in this state, there¡¯s indeed a glimmer of hope,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Meng Hong, with four sixty-year periods of lifespan granted by Foundation Establishment, plus another sixty years from the Longevity Scripture, theoretically had a lifespan of 300 years.


    However, due to his Core Formation failure and confrontational efforts for resources in his youth, including multiple times where he had burned his essence in internal family strife, his actual lifespan was around 250 years.


    If he wasn¡¯t practicing the Longevity Scripture, even with the battle power of a Core Formation from the Heterodox Golden Core, he¡¯d have at most twenty or thirty years of lifespan left. Attempting Core Formation with such an aged body would almost certainly lead to death.


    But now, with an additional sixty years of lifespan, the situation was different.


    The Golden Core Transposition Technique, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Pill, might just give Meng Hong a real chance at successful Core Formation.


    After contemplating with the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai found there were still many difficulties with Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    The first issue was still the excessive consumption of lifespan; even with the extra sixty years, he was not at his peak.


    Moreover, in his eagerness to advance his realm rapidly, he had consumed many elixirs. Although a significant amount of pill toxins had been eliminated during his first core transformation attempt, plenty still lingered in his body.


    In his youth, he had also suffered several life-threatening injuries, leaving his essence somewhat damaged.


    But these were problems that could be solved.


    Now that Chen Mobai had an ample supply of Longevity Tree Sap, Meng Hong needed only to cultivate to the first layer of the Longevity Dao Body to address a variety of physical issues and restore his essence.


    And for the issue of pill toxins, Chen Mobai had just transplanted the Green Charm Spiritual Tree and could provide Meng Hong with the highest-grade tea leaves from the Flying Dragon Pool.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having heard the Core Formation plan from Chen Mobai, Meng Hong¡¯s expression was one of immense excitement.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Let me test your current realm.¡±


    Meng Hong had taken great care of Chen Mobai during his tenure, and now that he had a chance at Core Formation, Chen Mobai was certainly grateful and willing to repay the favor.


    As the two talked, they both flew up into the sky.


    Meng Hong immediately displayed his most powerful skills, a Rank-3 Tree Seed transforming under his Golden Core Stage Longevity Scripture into a lush and towering Golden Sun Spirit Tree in the void, with him unfolding his mightiest domain.

 Chapter 1128 - Chapter 1128 Chapter 620 Two Grand Spells_2

    Chapter 1128: Chapter 620: Two Grand Spells_2 Chapter 1128: Chapter 620: Two Grand Spells_2 Chen Mobai saw this scene and nodded slightly, intent on testing the reputedly strong defensive power of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Then he raised his hand, holding a mass of Golden Flame, and in an instant, he scattered it, transforming it into Flame Sun Slash flying out.


    After the burst of golden flame light, Meng Hong¡¯s face turned pale.


    The formerly lush Golden Sun Spirit Tree now had only a few leaves left, indicating that with just one move, Chen Mobai had tested the limits of his defense.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡¯s divine might, I am no match,¡±


    Meng Hong stood within his domain of the Golden Sun Spirit Tree, smiling bitterly in admission of defeat. If the Spirit Tree itself had not been tempered and leveled up by the Green-sun Fire, making it resistant to the Flame Sun Slash, it probably couldn¡¯t have withstood even a single attack.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Give it your all against me, I shall only defend and not attack.¡±


    Meng Hong, hearing this, immediately felt a surge of spirit.


    After refining the Heterodox Golden Core, he had even tested himself against his disciple Mu Yuan, and indeed, the gap of a large realm could not be compensated for by talent alone.


    Mu Yuan could not withstand even a single move against him.


    Therefore, Meng Hong did not know the limits of his Cultivation Level now.


    His defensive power had already been tested under the Flame Sun Slash, capable of withstanding one move from the Sect Leader!


    Now, it was time to see the power of his own attacks¡­


    While Meng Hong was pondering this, he suddenly saw Chen Mobai across from him wave his long sleeve. Seven golden blazing fireballs flew out like flowers scattered by a heavenly maiden, forming a fiery ring that enveloped him.


    Meng Hong¡¯s mouth twitched slightly upon seeing this.


    He had just managed to withstand a single Flame Sun Slash with all his might. If the Sect Leader struck with seven together¡­


    Fortunately, Meng Hong was also an old hand at this, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. He began to practice spells from the Longevity Scripture against Chen Mobai.


    The fluctuations of nature¡¯s spiritual energy caused by the sparring of the two naturally attracted many Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Several streaks of Spiritual Light flew over, but they quickly came to a halt.


    Before long, the two Vice Hall Masters, Quan Shanlin and Luo Xue¡¯er, also flew over, and after watching for a while, they showed looks of envy.


    After refining the Heterodox Golden Core, Meng Hong did indeed possess power that surpassed the Foundation Building Realm.


    Although he still couldn¡¯t shake the Sect Leader.


    About fifteen minutes later, the two practicing magic in the sky stopped, and then Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense surged out, instructing Quan Shanlin and Luo Xue¡¯er to lead the people from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to wait for him at Shenmu Hall.


    An hour later, the higher-ups of the Divine Wood Sect in Giant Tree Ridge had all arrived.


    When Chen Mobai entered with Meng Hong, everyone saluted them.


    Their gazes toward Meng Hong were filled with envy.


    ¡°Meng Hong will take a group to Yun Meng Ze to replace Fu Shixiong as the Town Guard of Wind Rain Hamlet,¡±


    Upon entering, Chen Mobai did not waste time and went straight to the point. Meng Hong, on his side, immediately nodded and accepted the command.


    Although his strength was at the bottom among the Golden Core Cultivators, relying on the Longevity Scripture, he could still hold off a Rank-3 Demonic Beast on the front lines.


    It just so happened that the number of Demonic Beasts in Yun Meng Ze had recently begun to dwindle, allowing some Sect Disciples who had been in battle for a long time to be recalled for rest.


    After Chen Mobai set the tone, he let Meng Hong select from the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners himself.


    After all, he was now a Golden Core Cultivator and a former Sect Leader; such matters were easily managed by him.


    Having an additional Golden Core Stage combatant was great news for the Divine Wood Sect.


    For Chen Mobai, it meant being even more at ease.


    In a good mood, Chen Mobai remembered the two Grand Spells he had obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Previously, after refining Qi of Creation and his Earth Spirit Root mutating twice, he was able to choose two Grand Spells from the Longevity Scripture of the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    His primary target, naturally, was the Longevity Technique!


    Based on his understanding, this Longevity Technique must be related to trees, so he chose the green leaf and the phantom shadow of the branches.


    However, it seemed his luck was not the best.


    The two Grand Spells he received were called ¡°One-Leaf Blindness¡± and ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.¡±


    One-Leaf Blindness is a technique for sneak attacks and entrapment.


    It can be used to conceal one¡¯s own tracks and also to confront enemies.


    If used on oneself, it is the most top-notch invisibility technique for hiding one¡¯s trace.


    According to Elder Ming, it is absolutely undetectable within the same realm, and even if facing a cultivator of a higher realm, as long as they do not practice any special Art of Spiritual Eyes, one can remain without revealing any traces.


    And if used against an enemy, it can blind the opponent.


    Its effectiveness depends on the relative cultivation levels of both parties, if their spiritual power and divine sense are not significantly different, this technique will basically work.


    However, if this was the only effect, the One-Leaf Blindness would not be worthy of being one of the twenty-four grand spells of the Longevity Sect.


    If this grand spell is cultivated to the limit, one can even conceal their form from the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Although as soon as the technique is discontinued, the Heavenly Tribulation will still come knocking.


    But for a cultivator, it could be used to delay the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Once the major breakthrough has stabilized and one¡¯s state has returned to its peak, by borrowing some special magic artifacts, facing the Heavenly Tribulation would be almost a sure success.


    Therefore, the cultivators of the Ancient Changsheng Sect, as long as the conditions allow it, basically all cultivate the ¡°One-Leaf Blindness¡±.


    However, in Chen Mobai¡¯s view, this grand spell is of no use to him.


    When he breaks through a major realm, it will definitely occur at the Immortal Gate side, and he does not need to worry about something like the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Moreover, in his life, he conducts himself openly and honestly and does not need any invisibility techniques.


    As for fighting against enemies, he faced any opponent with a sword slash, and if one slash was not enough, he would follow it with another!


    However, although One-Leaf Blindness was not very useful to him, he was pleasantly surprised by another grand spell.


    It was called ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth¡±!


    This grand spell specifically acts upon spirit plants.


    It can help a spirit plant on the verge of a breakthrough achieve a breakthrough unconditionally to a minor level, for instance, a Rank-3 intermediate-grade spirit plant, after the application of ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth,¡± can break through to a Rank-3 superior grade!


    But this grand spell also comes with a huge drawback!


    That is, after a spirit plant breaks through using this grand spell, it will deplete its potential and no longer be able to improve.


    It is for this reason that the cultivators of the Ancient Longevity Sect only use it at the most critical moment of a spirit plant¡¯s breakthrough.


    For example, the Rank-3 superior-grade Immortal Peach Tree he transplanted to Xiao Nanshan, with the assistance of ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth,¡± could be induced to breakthrough to a fourth-grade lower class.


    Of course, although an increase across a major class can definitely induce a breakthrough, one cannot guarantee a hundred percent success rate.


    When Chen Mobai obtained this grand spell, the first thing he thought of was the fourth-grade superior Biyu Wutong in Danxia City.


    If he were to use ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth¡± on it, he wondered whether it would successfully breakthrough to a fifth-order lower grade?


    Thinking about this, Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t wait to begin cultivation, as long as he mastered the basics, he could use the Great Dao Tree to achieve perfection immediately.


    Unfortunately, reality dealt him a blow.


    These two grand spells turned out to be exclusive to practitioners of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, Chen Mobai did not believe in the curse and tried it out, although he could understand it, the lack of the key Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Spiritual Power meant he could never master it.


    He then consulted Elder Ming, who said the same.


    However, within the Ancient Longevity Sect, there was a way for cultivators who did not follow the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to also grasp these two grand spells.


    But the key was still needing a practitioner of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    ¡°Greetings, Foster Father!¡±


    While Chen Mobai was thinking about the Biyu Wutong, Yin Qingmei had already used his token to pass through the restrictions of the Longevity Wood Dojo and flew to the door of his wooden house to pay respects.


    ¡°Come in!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Fortunately, he had this foster daughter, otherwise wouldn¡¯t Chen Mobai be just sitting on a treasure mountain unable to exploit it?


    With the creaking sound, the door of the wooden house opened, and the graceful and smiling Yin Qingmei, who seemed to have even applied a delicate makeup especially, walked in, which explained why she was a bit late.


    ¡°Foster Father, here.¡±


    Yin Qingmei, with her snow-white delicate hands, held the Haotian Mirror while kneeling in front of Chen Mobai and presented it to him with a bow.


    She thought that Chen Mobai had called her over with the Heavenly Communication Device for this matter.

 Chapter 1129 - Chapter 1129 Chapter 621 Technique Perfected (Additional

    Chapter 1129: Chapter 621: Technique Perfected (Additional Chapter for 11,200 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1129: Chapter 621: Technique Perfected (Additional Chapter for 11,200 Monthly Votes) Yin Qingmei¡¯s visage was graceful, her eyes pure like springs. After some time apart, her cultivation level had slightly advanced, truly worthy of being a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai took the Haotian Mirror from her hands and produced a Spirit Sealing Tube, extracting strand by strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    He then gently coughed once, revealing the real reason he had called her here.


    ¡°It would be my honor to help my foster father,¡± she said.


    Upon hearing this, Yin Qingmei¡¯s eyes brightened. She indicated that whatever arrangements Chen Mobai made were fine and she had no objections.


    The method suggested by Elder Ming was the Practice Together Technique.


    During co-cultivation, the spiritual power between cultivators is interconnected, equivalent to one person possessing two different attributes of spiritual power.


    It was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai had once helped Zhuo Ming, who was only at Foundation Establishment, condense the All-things Altruistic Cauldron.


    If he co-cultivated with Yin Qingmei using Wood Fire, he could borrow the spiritual power of her Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture in that state.


    This was also why, before they had perfected it, they needed to constantly maintain the Wood Fire co-cultivation state.


    For Yin Qingmei, this was an easy task; she merely needed to continue her cultivation as she usually did.


    However, Chen Mobai had to control his own cultivation level, as he was a Golden Core Cultivator. Even one-tenth of the spiritual energy capacity could overwhelm Yin Qingmei.


    This was not like his disciple Zhuo Ming, who had moved from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment right under his watch. He understood her limits very clearly, so using the Practice Together Technique in combination could be perfectly managed.


    To prevent Yin Qingmei from being hurt by an enormous surge of spiritual energy, they began their first official joint cultivation with Chen Mobai only opening up one percent of his absorptive capacity.


    For a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, this was naturally a bit low, to the point where Yin Qingmei expressed she couldn¡¯t feel much.


    Chen Mobai gradually increased his level, eventually aligning their spiritual energy inhalation and exhalation rates.


    After two days of adaptation, Chen Mobai finally grasped Yin Qingmei¡¯s limit, which was about one-twentieth of his own power.


    However, this meant that Yin Qingmei needed to remain in her peak spiritual state at all times. This was manageable in the short term, but a significant burden if sustained for longer periods.


    So Chen Mobai decreased it a bit further, determined to find the most comfortable balance for her.


    When they reached one twenty-second, the two finally achieved the perfect co-cultivation state.


    Nevertheless, this was only their attempt within the Longevity Wood Dojo. A cultivator of Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture could enhance their skills even further if they were near their Destiny Spirit Plant.


    Upon hearing Yin Qingmei say this, Chen Mobai immediately took her back to Qingdai Mountain.


    And sure enough, with the Destiny Spirit Plant¡¯s blessing and sharing the burden, Yin Qingmei could maintain equilibrium with one-fifteenth of his power.


    After three more days of adaptation on Qingdai Mountain, the two finalized the most harmonious state for their joint practice.


    That day, the divine and refined Chen Mobai sat beneath the lush branches of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.


    In front of him, a dignified, extraordinary, and beautiful girl knelt. Her skin was as fair as the first snow, and her lips were the color of cherry blossoms. She listened attentively and respectfully.


    Chen Mobai was teaching and imparting techniques to Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Apart from the five Immortal Scriptures, the Longevity Sect also possesses twenty-four Grand Spells. Since I¡¯m borrowing your spiritual power for cultivation, it¡¯s only right that I pass these on to you as well,¡± he said.


    Chen Mobai was often casual in imparting cultivation techniques, but Yin Qingmei, a native of the Eastern Wilderness, lit up with joy upon hearing this and immediately bowed deeply to him.


    However, at that time, Yin Qingmei had no clear idea about the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect and thought they were powerful techniques similar to the ¡°Heavenly Wood God Needle.¡±


    But after Chen Mobai imparted ¡°One-Leaf Blindness¡± and ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth,¡± Yin Qingmei was utterly stunned. She knelt under the tree, unable to get up for a long time.


    ¡°There truly exists such profound spells in the world! The immortal techniques passed down in legends from holy lands of the Upper Realm probably aren¡¯t beyond this!¡± she murmured to herself.


    As a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Yin Qingmei was almost guaranteed to achieve Core Formation, with her only worry being the Heavenly Tribulation.


    However, if she mastered ¡°One-Leaf Blindness,¡± being able to delay it for even a few days would practically seal her success.


    ¡°Thank you, Foster Father, for bestowing upon me this great path!¡±


    Yin Qingmei gave thanks with a solemnity she had never shown before; ¡°One-Leaf Blindness¡± would benefit her for life.


    With this Grand Spell, her Core Formation could be considered absolutely assured.


    And even for her future ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± her chances had increased by twenty percent.


    The thought of facing future major breakthroughs without the fear of Heavenly Tribulation made Yin Qingmei feel as though she had been unburdened, her entire being relaxed from the inside out.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities. Just focus on your cultivation and don¡¯t let down the nurturing you¡¯ve received from me and the sect,¡± Chen Mobai said, gesturing for Yin Qingmei to rise.


    Although the two Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect were quite precious, since only those who practiced the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture could cultivate them, teaching them to her was the most appropriate choice.


    ¡°Yes, Foster Father, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me,¡± Yin Qingmei said sincerely as she stood up.


    In her view, Chen Mobai had essentially passed on all the groundwork of a Longevity Sect Saint Son to her, akin to giving her a second life.


    In the days that followed, Chen Mobai and Yin Qingmei practiced the two Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect together using the co-cultivation method.


    With the critical issue resolved and as a Golden Core Cultivator, it took Chen Mobai merely a month to easily reach the initial stage of mastering these two Grand Spells.


    Yin Qingmei, however, had yet to achieve success.


    Chen Mobai thought he might be holding her back and planned to leave, allowing her to cultivate the two Grand Spells in peace and quiet.


    Since he had been staying on Qingdai Mountain for a long time and Yin Qingmei was not his disciple, spreading the news might affect his reputation.


    ¡°Foster father, let me send you off.¡±


    Upon hearing that Chen Mobai was leaving, a hint of disappointment appeared on Yin Qingmei¡¯s elegant and dignified face. She thought perhaps her failure to master the two grand spells had disappointed him.


    ¡°Just practice by yourself for now. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me anytime using the Heavenly Communication Device.¡±


    After saying these words, Chen Mobai extracted the Pure Yang Purple Qi he had condensed in the Haotian Mirror this month, then he left the Magic Artifact with Yin Qingmei and left Qingdai Mountain, where he had cultivated for a month.


    After mastering One-Leaf Blindness and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, Chen Mobai decided to give them a try.


    He stealthily arrived at Xiao Nanshan.


    Sure enough, neither Zhuo Ming nor Luo Yixuan noticed him immediately.


    But just as he was about to cancel One-Leaf Blindness, Zhuo Ming, who was examining the rice seeds, suddenly let out a surprised and doubtful exclamation.


    She looked up in the direction of where Chen Mobai was standing, then with a puzzled expression, she looked around, shook her head, and bent down again to work with the rice ears.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Senior Sister?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, who was cultivating the Rainfall Technique nearby to water this acre of Spirit Rice that Zhuo Ming had newly crossbred, found it strange when she saw her stand up and then bend down again.


    ¡°Suddenly there was more weight on the land, I thought someone had come over, but after looking around, I didn¡¯t find anyone.¡±


    Zhuo Ming spoke the truth; in this area of Xiao Nanshan, she was in her home field.


    Even though Chen Mobai was invisible, he had only recently mastered One-Leaf Blindness and was still at Rank-1, unable to completely erase all traces of himself. Thus, Zhuo Ming, who was particularly sensitive to the land, detected something amiss.


    No sooner had she finished speaking, Luo Yixuan hadn¡¯t even replied when a familiar laugh sounded, and as both of them turned toward the source, space seemed to peel away, revealing Chen Mobai¡¯s figure as it appeared before them.


    ¡°We greet Master!¡±


    The two hurriedly paid their respects, but their faces were unmistakably filled with surprise.


    ¡°This is a spell I¡¯ve recently mastered¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai mentioned One-Leaf Blindness and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, and both women¡¯s eyes widened. But upon hearing that they were unable to cultivate them, their faces showed disappointment.


    ¡°Is this a new variety of Spirit Rice?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the green-and-golden Spirit Rice ears beside Zhuo Ming, who nodded gently.


    This was a hybrid of Green Jade Spirit Rice and Cold Jade Spirit Rice, the latter being one of the five grain seed types given to him by Xue Ting during his Core Formation ceremony.


    This type of Spirit Rice grew on the icy lands of Snow Country and Frost Country, absorbing the essence of frost and snow. It was crisp and smooth to taste, and cultivators who consumed it regularly could help purify their vital essence.


    However, if one¡¯s cultivation was inadequate, it might cause the vital essence to become cold and the body constitution to turn frosty.


    For the disciples of the Snow-blowing Palace, this Cold Jade Spirit Rice was very beneficial, but due to this drawback, it was only consumed mixed with Fire Spirit Rice.


    Before they had Fire Spirit Rice, the cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace generally only ate it every few days.


    Only after Zhuo Ming¡¯s Practice of Mother Qi of All Things reached fruition on the soil of Xiao Nanshan, was she able to successfully grow this Cold Jade Spirit Rice which required a frosty essence.


    This newly crossbred Spirit Rice, although mainly Green Jade Spirit Rice was Rank-2, was not compatible with the Cold Jade Spirit Rice and was only considered as Fourth Grade Superior, some being merely intermediate grade.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try ¡®Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly and waved a greenish-yellow Spiritual Light from his palm, soon covering the whole acre of the Spirit Field.


    Then, as if time sped up, the wheat straws that had already developed ears thickened even more. At the right moment, Luo Yixuan brought down Spirit Rain to assist the transformation and level up of this acre of Spirit Rice.


    A gentle breeze blew, and waves of rice swayed. The originally green hues faded away, transforming into a golden hue indicative of a bountiful harvest.


    After Chen Mobai withdrew his Spiritual Light, in front of him seemed to stand a golden sea, with the faint scent of rice wafting through the air, making him nod in approval.


    ¡°Master, most of these have transformed to Rank-2¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming used her Earth Mother Cultivation to inspect all the Spirit Rice on this acre. More than thirty percent of the stalks failed to break through under Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth and withered, falling onto the soil.


    But the majority, under the guidance of the Spiritual Light, had broken through to Rank-2, each grain full and giving off a refreshing fragrance.


    Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming to cook a pot, and after the three of them tasted it, they enjoyed a crispness they had never experienced before, praising it immensely.


    ¡°Bring some over to Xue Ting as well, this could also be considered a taste of her hometown.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually suggested, and Zhuo Ming immediately nodded in agreement. Xue Ting was recuperating in her Court Mountain and also helped Zhuo Ming take care of the terraced Spirit Field of rice and feed the Green Cow and other Spirit Beasts.


    ¡°Master, if ¡®Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth¡¯ could be cultivated to Rank-4, could the Spirit Wood I¡¯m taking care of be promoted to Rank-5?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Zhuo Ming suddenly asked.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Her taken care of Spirit Wood?


    Which one?


    Chen Mobai was initially puzzled, but then he suddenly remembered.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul¡¯s Soul Nourishing Wood!


    That indeed was a Fourth Grade Superior!

 Chapter 1130 - Chapter 1130 Chapter 622 External Incarnation (12000 Monthly

    Chapter 1130: Chapter 622 External Incarnation (12,000 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Chapter 1130: Chapter 622 External Incarnation (12,000 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Zhou Shengqing¡¯s soul was lodged within a Soul Nourishing Wood at the peak of Rank-4, and Chen Mobai instructed Zhuo Ming to take care of it periodically.


    As a Spirit Plant Master of Zhuo Ming¡¯s realm, it didn¡¯t take many visits to recognize the rarity she was tending to¨Cthe treasure of heaven and earth before her.


    The fact that Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could transform a Legal Body Nascent Soul was also recorded in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s archives on spirit plants.


    Thus, within the entire Divine Wood Sect, aside from Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue, Zhuo Ming was the third person to be aware of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s condition.


    However, this was mainly because Zhou Shengqing often offered guidance while she tended to the plants, and over the years, the two of them had developed a relationship that was both mentorship and friendship.


    Therefore, after learning about the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique, Zhuo Ming¡¯s first thought was whether it could induce a breakthrough in the peak Rank-4 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    At this, Chen Mobai also was extremely excited.


    ¡°Xuan, you stay behind to watch over the house. Ming¡¯er, follow me for a trip,¡± Chen Mobai said as soon as he finished speaking, multicolored clouds had already swept up Zhuo Ming, turning him into a streak of light as they headed towards the Longevity Wood Dojo where Zhou Shengqing was.


    ¡°To think there exists such an Immortal Technique!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s specter was summoned by Chen Mobai, who couldn¡¯t help but get excited after hearing about the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique.


    At this moment, he could no longer feign the air of a detached sage in front of Zhuo Ming, and he anxiously paced around the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, communicate with this spirit plant and see, if we use the technique to trigger its breakthrough, what the likelihood of success might be,¡± he said.


    Being a plant close to Rank-5 quality, and possibly the only one in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but proceed cautiously.


    Zhuo Ming nodded gravely and then employed her All Things Spiritual Communication ability.


    Soon after, she opened her eyes, which were slightly relaxed, and under Zhou Shengqing¡¯s tense gaze, she nodded firmly.


    ¡°It is already the pinnacle of Rank-4 and has long accumulated enough power to break through. It¡¯s only because it was brought out of the Yin World Underworld that it has become stuck at this bottleneck.¡±


    According to the communication by Zhuo Ming, as long as the Soul Nourishing Wood could break through, upgrading it was almost a sure thing, with around a seventy to eighty percent chance of success.


    ¡°Good, Ming¡¯er, start preparing for the Soul Nourishing Wood¡¯s breakthrough. I will also consult another expert,¡± he said.


    After returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo, Chen Mobai took out the piece of the Soul Nourishing Wood where Elder Ming had settled and asked her about the Soul Nourishing Woods¡¯ ascent.


    ¡°I have a Rank-4 peak Soul Nourishing Wood. If I bring it into the Yellow Springs Path and use the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth grand spell to trigger its breakthrough, what do you think the odds of success are?¡±


    Elder Ming was an expert in Soul Nourishing Wood and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique, so upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, she nodded with certainty.


    ¡°For a peak Rank-4, if it can absorb sufficient Yellow Springs Yin Qi, it¡¯s almost certain to succeed in breaking through.¡±


    Hearing Elder Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was relieved.


    He was about to transport himself to the Great Dao Tree to elevate the grade of his grand spell when Elder Ming hesitated and then decided to speak up and stop him.


    ¡°Saint Heir, if the breakthrough of the Soul Nourishing Wood to Rank-5 is triggered within the Yin World Underworld, it will set off a frenzy of Yin Qi that could attract the arrival of a Rank-4 Ghost King from the depths of the Yellow Springs¡­¡±


    A Rank-4 Ghost King was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in his Pure Yang Scroll, he wasn¡¯t willing to face such an entity for the sake of a plant¡¯s advancement. The gap of a great realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to take that risk.


    ¡°Without the Yellow Springs, if the Soul Nourishing Wood were to break through in the Living World, wouldn¡¯t that mean there¡¯s no 100% success rate?¡± he hesitantly asked, to which Elder Ming nodded but then offered a solution.


    ¡°If I were to possess your disciple¡¯s body, I could control the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power and artificially create a small Underworld environment to aid the Soul Nourishing Wood¡¯s breakthrough. The odds would be very high,¡± she said.


    Hearing Elder Ming¡¯s suggestion, Chen Mobai finally understood why she reminded him of this issue.


    His brow furrowed involuntarily!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Saint Heir. I can make a Dao Heart oath that I will not do anything to harm your disciple. As soon as the Soul Nourishing Wood successfully advances, I will immediately leave her body,¡± Elder Ming assured.


    After hearing her promise, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    ¡°I will discuss this matter with Xuan. If she¡¯s unwilling, I won¡¯t force her,¡± he said.


    After he finished speaking, Chen Mobai put Elder Ming away and then activated the Turtle Treasure to transport himself in front of the Great Dao Tree.


    Standing before the towering Great Dao Tree, he felt as if he had returned to his own backyard. Operating a Formless Puppet that displayed Foundation Building strength, he reached the tenth step.


    Green leaves fell, infusing powerful thoughts.


    This time, he finally had a grand spell from the Longevity Sect that could empower the Great Dao Tree.


    Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth quickly ascended to Rank-2.


    Then, he withdrew the Formless Puppet and walked for a second time to the tenth step in front of the Great Dao Tree¡­


    After doing this four times in a row, he easily upgraded both One-Leaf Blindness and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth to Rank-3.


    Then came the fifth time.


    He took out a Heavenly Calculation Bead that had a slight crack.


    The Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash¡¯s true intent that had been stored within had long been fully understood and integrated into his own cultivation.


    He only needed the external materials to be ready, and he could cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue to Great Perfection!


    But as for the ¡°Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,¡± over the years, Chen Mobai had yet to gain any understanding of it.


    Such a realm of Sword Dao had already surpassed the limits of the Eastern Wilderness, and even within the Immortal Gates, the head of the Sword Control Department at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zuo Gong, could not hope to catch up to it.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai had no one to consult, and it remained within this Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    After clearing the memory of the Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai used this bead to store the Rank-4 Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth realm.


    But this Grand Spell seemed far more profound than the Extreme Sun Slash, and the slight crack on this Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead had now deepened.


    Chen Mobai estimated that in just two or three more uses, it would be rendered useless.


    He resolved that in the future, unless it was an essential Grand Spell, he would not use the empowerment of the Great Dao Tree.


    After all, for him, the Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash was enough.


    Although he did not know the exact function of the ¡°Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,¡± since it was ¡°One Sword Births Ten Thousand Laws,¡± keeping it was never a mistake. Perhaps it could be used someday at the Immortal Gate to maintain his facade as a peerless Sword Cultivating Genius.


    Chen Mobai thought about how he could get the Repairing Heaven Institute to custom make another Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead for him and then once again activated Turtle Treasure, returning to the heart of Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Master, I am willing!¡±


    At the peak of Xiao Nanshan, after Chen Mobai finished telling Luo Yixuan about the Soul Nourishing Wood, the latter nodded in shock, realizing she had learnt the sect¡¯s biggest secret, and was willing to contribute to the cause.


    ¡°The sect and your master will not forget your contribution.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded solemnly to Luo Yixuan, then handed over the Soul Nourishing Wood inhabited by Elder Ming to her.


    ¡°Saint Heir, the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power at the Foundation Building Realm might not be enough to level up the Soul Nourishing Wood to Rank-5¡­¡±


    After each had sworn a Dao Heart oath, Elder Ming suddenly spoke again, causing Chen Mobai¡¯s brow to furrow in displeasure.


    ¡°Are you trying to take this opportunity to form a core with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power? If you do that, wouldn¡¯t Xuan be condemned to only walk the path of a ghost in the future? I¡¯ve put so much effort into sealing away her Yellow Springs Spiritual Power for nothing!¡±


    ¡°Saint Heir, there is actually a perfect solution to this. You could teach her the Immortal Technique ¡®External Incarnation.¡¯ After I form my core with the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, she could use this technique to refine me into an ¡¯embodiment.¡¯ This way, not only could I become her guardian, but also I could break free from my current predicament and begin my cultivation anew.¡±


    Elder Ming delivered a speech that left Chen Mobai scratching his head.


    What is an ¡°External Incarnation¡±?


    ¡°The All Laws Persona that the Saint Heir is cultivating is an External Incarnation. It is one of the twenty-four Grand Spells I teach, and since the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s body cannot move, this spell is often used to venture out. When the cultivation of an External Incarnation reaches its zenith, it becomes ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth¡¯.¡±


    After listening to Elder Ming¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood.


    However, he really hadn¡¯t expected that the most powerful All Laws Persona of the previously dominant Wangu Gate in the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s Five Elements Sect, when traced back to its origins, would actually be a legacy of the Longevity Sect.


    ¡°Could this truly work?¡±


    ¡°Saint Heir, I can swear a Dao Heart oath, as long as I can escape my current predicament and continue with my cultivation, I am willing to become Miss Luo¡¯s guardian embodiment, protecting her throughout her life!¡±


    Elder Ming was ready to take a leap of faith, and this was the only way out she had been pondering over during her years within the Soul Nourishing Wood, based on the limited information she gathered during her brief periods of exposure to the outside world.


    ¡°Swear your oath first. As for whether we¡¯ll do it, I need to consider it more carefully.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very calm and was not swayed by a few words from Elder Ming.


    ¡°Master, I am willing!¡±


    At that moment, Luo Yixuan, who had been watching silently, finally spoke up.


    But Chen Mobai glared at her and then shook his head.


    ¡°You are my disciple, and because of me, you were transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb. I must be responsible for the rest of your life. I will only decide after thoroughly verifying the feasibility and ensuring it won¡¯t harm you.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s somewhat stern words, Luo Yixuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.


    She knew it was her master¡¯s concern for her safety.


    ¡°Write down what you want to do in detail and show me the document.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Elder Ming. If it could indeed be as she claimed, then Luo Yixuan would gain a Golden Core Realm guardian, which would be beneficial.

    But for such a matter, he certainly could not take her word for it.


    ¡°Yes, Saint Heir!¡±


    Elder Ming was very forthright about it. She had considered this step for a full six years.


    She was confident that as long as everything was done her way, there would be no problems.


    However, it was fortunate there was the opportunity with the Soul Nourishing Wood. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to bring up this matter.

 Chapter 1131 - Chapter 1131 Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow

    Chapter 1131: Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow Chapter 1131: Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow Yun Meng Ze, Green Light Island.


    Gu Yan had turned over the island she had been stationed on for a year to Mei Jingjun, the newly arrived member from her sect. Mei Jingjun meticulously examined the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, Spirit Stones, and other resources. After confirming there were no issues, she signed the transfer document.


    ¡°After Gu Shimai leaves Yun Meng Ze, will you be heading straight back to the sect?¡±


    After completing the procedures, Mei Jingjun¡¯s normally somber face revealed a smile.


    This time, as Meng Hong led this group of Foundation Establishment Practitioners, there was also an order for Gu Yan to return to the sect. Almost everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knew that this young junior sister was one of Sect Master Chen¡¯s people, so they were all willing to accord her this respect.


    ¡°I still need to return to Rain Country first to take care of the family¡¯s Spirit Rice cultivation matters.¡±


    Gu Yan hadn¡¯t forgotten her prior mission in Rain Country¨Cto keep an eye on Hong He under the guise of helping her family grow Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Now that she had received orders from the sect, naturally she also needed to follow through with the entire process.


    ¡°Junior sister, take care. When I return to the sect later on, I will seek you out to catch up.¡±


    Upon hearing Mei Jingjun¡¯s polite words, Gu Yan gently nodded and then turned to enter the Teleportation Array.


    Enveloped in a flash of silver brilliance, Gu Yan was transported onto dry land. Without lingering in the market, she immediately teleported again¡­


    Three days later, she finally returned to her family in Rain Country.


    After spending some time handing off her responsibilities, Gu Yan took her leave from the Great Elder of the Gu family and flew towards Liu Hua Market, intending to use the local Teleportation Array to transfer to another location.


    Unfortunately, the Teleportation Array in the market had all been reserved for the next few days.


    And the one who had reserved it was none other than Hong He.


    Having led Rain Country¡¯s cultivators in battle in Yun Meng Ze for a year, he was now allowed by the sect¡¯s orders to return home for a rest and naturally needed to transport back various resources they had harvested throughout the year.


    Large bulk goods were shipped using Treasure Ships and Spirit Beasts, among other modes of transportation.


    ZValuable items, however, needed to be transferred using Teleportation Arrays.


    Gu Yan inquired and found out that for at least the next half month, the Teleportation Arrays near Yun Meng Ze in three different Fang Markets had all been requisitioned by Hong He.


    After some consideration, she decided to travel by flight to Yellow Stone Market near the border of Rain Country and make use of the Teleportation Array there.


    Anxious to return to the sect, Gu Yan immediately sprang into action.


    Having left Liu Hua Market, she flew towards her destination on her silk Magic Artifact.


    Five days later, arriving disheveled at Yellow Stone Market, she took the Teleportation Array to Southstream Market in the neighboring Yun Country.


    Here, Gu Yan planned to rest for two days.


    But upon exiting the Teleportation Array, she saw someone who should not have been there.


    Hong He!


    Gu Yan frowned slightly, then took cover behind a large group of cultivators also using the Teleportation Array to conceal her presence.


    She quietly activated an Invisibility Talisman and followed Hong He.


    ¡­


    ¡°Gu Yan has gone missing!¡±


    Chen Mobai set aside the document written by Elder Ming upon hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s report, his expression turning grave.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, yesterday was the last day we assigned for Junior Sister Gu to return to the sect, but she hasn¡¯t arrived to this day. I dispatched people to investigate and found that the last place she was seen was around Southstream Market.¡±


    Out of all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had withdrawn from Yun Meng Ze, only Gu Yan had not yet reported back to the sect. Moreover, as she was close to Chen Mobai, her absence immediately drew Yue Zutao¡¯s attention.


    ¡°I understand. You no longer need to handle this; I will go out myself!¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he morphed into a streak of Spiritual Light and left Giant Tree Ridge.


    Since Gu Yan was under his command to supervise Hong He, Chen Mobai gave her several talismans, including one for tracking purposes, in case she encountered any danger.


    As long as she had a trace of Spiritual Power, she could activate it to allow Chen Mobai to locate her using the parent talisman.


    After stepping out from the Teleportation Array in Southstream Market, Chen Mobai¡¯s talisman automatically took flight, heading west.


    Without alerting anyone, he executed One-Leaf Blindness, silently followed the talisman.


    Half a day later, Chen Mobai unexpectedly arrived at Yun Meng Ze.


    On a barren reef island, he found Gu Yan confined within a maze array. He released a surge of potent Pure Yang Spiritual Power and instantly shattered all the Array Flags.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Clutching two Spirit Stones, struggling to maintain herself, Gu Yan saw him and breathed a sigh of relief, standing up to salute.


    ¡°Are you unharmed?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing that Gu Yan seemed exceedingly weak, Chen Mobai asked with concern.


    ¡°Hong He drained all of my Spiritual Power, but he did not harm my essence. After doing so, he knew he couldn¡¯t remain in the sect any longer and asked me to deliver this letter to you, Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the letter, his brows furrowing as he read it. Afterward, he slipped it into his Storage Bag and turned to Gu Yan. ¡°How did you come across him using Demonic Cultivation?¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, after I left Southstream Market, I followed him into a Loose Cultivator¡¯s Cave Dwelling. Not long after, there were fluctuations of combat Spiritual Energy from inside. I risked using an Invisibility Talisman to take a look and saw Hong He, covered in blood, with his right hand placed on the Dantian Qi Sea of the Loose Cultivator, draining all his Spiritual Power¡­¡±


    Gu Yan narrated what she had witnessed that day, but because she got too close, she was discovered by Hong He through an Exotic Treasure.

 Chapter 1132 - Chapter 1132 Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow_2

    Chapter 1132: Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow_2 Chapter 1132: Chapter 623 Heavenly Marrow_2 If the two were to clash, she would naturally be no match for Hong He.


    However, she possessed the Purple Fire Sword Talisman bestowed by Chen Mobai, which, through its opposing attribute, managed to injure Hong He.


    Yet Hong He had a powerful Exotic Treasure; upon activation, he still managed to suppress Gu Yan.


    As Hong He was draining her spiritual power, Gu Yan almost believed she was going to die.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Sect Leader. In order to save my life, I divulged that you knew of his Demonic Cultivation practice. He seemed to be deterred by your reputation in the end, taking me here and trapping me with a confusing formation, and then he left that letter for you.¡±


    After listening to Gu Yan, Chen Mobai asked her to extend her hand so he could take her pulse and check her physical condition.


    As expected, her Dantian Qi Sea was completely empty, but the root essence was undamaged. With a few days of rest, she could recover.


    ¡°Keep this matter to yourself; don¡¯t mention it to anyone,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    Gu Yan nodded lightly in response to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, and even made a Dao Heart oath on the spot.


    The letter from Hong He confirmed that he indeed practiced the Devouring Sea Demonic Art, but when he first started, he didn¡¯t realize it was a Demonic Art.


    Later, relying on the Demonic Art, he became the chief inheritor of the Divine Wood Sect, and even became famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness, making it all the more difficult for him to abandon it.


    He thanked Chen Mobai for knowing this matter but not directly taking action against him, which is why he didn¡¯t drain Gu Yan¡¯s essence.


    He promised that from now on, the person named Hong He would disappear from the Eastern Wilderness.


    He also hoped Chen Mobai would give him a chance to live and not be utterly ruthless.


    If the Divine Wood Sect were to put all its efforts into eliminating Hong He and offer a substantial bounty, even if he left the Eastern Wilderness, other Rogue Cultivators would track and hunt him down, leaving him constantly in a state of peril and anxiety.


    Given the gravity of the situation, Chen Mobai did not make a decision immediately.


    After returning to the Sect with Gu Yan, he handed the letter Hong He left to Fu Zongjue, who had just returned from Wind Rain Hamlet.


    Upon finishing the letter, Fu Zongjue flew into a rage and wanted to personally hunt down Hong He.


    But after a while, he sighed in resignation under the persuasion of both Zhou Shengqing and Chen Mobai.


    Actually, when Fu Zongjue realized that Hong He might be practicing Demonic Cultivation, he knew this outcome was a possibility.


    Nevertheless, Hong He was his most prized disciple, and Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t bear to kill him. Fortunately, Hong He did not let him down by ensuring that there were no incidents of Divine Wood Sect disciples having their essence drained through Demonic Cultivation.


    In the end, as Hong He fled, he did not kill Gu Yan either.


    ¡°Later, the Sect will issue a notice stating that Hong He encountered a Rank-3 demonic beast in Yun Meng Ze and unfortunately perished in battle,¡± Zhou Shengqing said.


    Zhou Shengqing had high hopes for his disciple, Hong He, as well.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s meteoric rise, Hong He, apart from Yin Qingmei, was the most promising talent expected to achieve Core Formation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do as Brother Shengqing suggests,¡± Chen Mobai agreed, and then went to Shenmu Hall to arrange this matter.


    Unaware of the truth, Yue Zutao was shocked when Chen Mobai said Hong He had fallen in battle.


    ¡°Let this announcement be known throughout the Eastern Wilderness,¡± Yue Zutao was dutifully somber as he carried out Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, his instincts tingling that something was amiss, but he wisely did not ask further questions and left with a look of sorrow.


    As expected, the news of Hong He¡¯s demise in Yun Meng Ze quickly became a focal point of discussion among all cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Apart from Hong He, the battle with the demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze resulted in the loss of five Foundation Establishment Practitioners between the Five Elements Sect and Divine Wood Sect, with the latter losing two.


    But Hong He¡¯s status was different. As the former leader of Chen Mobai¡¯s five-colored celestial seeds, he was hailed as the premier Qi Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, enjoying massive fame among Loose Cultivators.


    His fall had many proclaiming the waning fortunes of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Douguang and Nu Jiang, two Golden Core Cultivators, sent letters to Chen Mobai to inquire about the matter.


    Since Hong He met his end in Yun Meng Ze under their watch, they felt responsible.


    All Chen Mobai could do was return a smile with his letter, saying it was Hong He¡¯s misfortune, and that no blame fell on the two of them.


    Meng Hong, who had just reached Wind Rain Hamlet, sighed deeply in sadness upon learning of the event, and then led the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the three branches on a concerted drive to eradicate the demonic beast groups within Yun Meng Ze.


    It was considered avenging ¡°Hong He.¡±


    However, regardless, with Hong He leaving the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had put one of his worries to rest.


    There was no longer a need to fear that Jiutian Dangmo Sect would confront them over this matter in the future.


    After arranging for Gu Yan to recover from his injuries, Chen Mobai also finished reading the feasibility report written by Elder Ming on her becoming Luo Yixuan¡¯s external incarnation.


    In terms of implementation, it was indeed possible.


    But Chen Mobai still needed to verify one thing before proceeding.


    He teleported once again before the Great Dao Tree and, after taking ten steps forward, he cast the All Laws Persona.


    [External Incarnation (Incomplete), grant you the Heavenly Marrow Realm!]


    The intent of the Great Dao Tree descended, and Chen Mobai was slightly stunned, not expecting that the All Laws Persona was indeed the External Incarnation among the Longevity Sect¡¯s twenty-four grand spells.


    He entered and exited the vicinity of the Great Dao Tree multiple times to bestow upon himself the enlightenment of the External Incarnation from rank-1 to Rank-3.


    Through Elder Ming, he learned that there were five ranks in total for the External Incarnation.


    Even among the Longevity Sect¡¯s twenty-four grand spells, it ranked within the top three¨Ca mighty technique!


    The five ranks were as follows: Heavenly Marrow, Heavenly Vessel, Heavenly Viscus, Heavenly Star, Heavenly Garment!


    Once the Heavenly Garment was seamless, it would be the time of Law of Heaven and Earth!


    Having confirmed that the source of the All Laws Persona was indeed the External Incarnation, Chen Mobai was no longer so resistant to Elder Ming becoming Luo Yixuan¡¯s protector.


    He returned to Xiao Nanshan and, after imparting the All Laws Persona to Luo Yixuan, also gave her the segment of Soul Nourishing Wood that harbored Elder Ming.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er, with a protector now, you¡¯ve essentially ascended in one step. I hope you can maintain a humble attitude and not let the power blind you, overlooking your own cultivation,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan nodded solemnly.


    However, having an incarnation at the Golden Core Stage brought her great secret joy.


    At least this meant that the ten years of suffering she endured in Huangquan had not been in vain.


    ¡°I still need to familiarize myself further with Miss Luo¡¯s body and ensure there are no issues. After that, the Saint Heir will need to send me into the Yellow Springs Path to form a core,¡± said Elder Ming.


    A Ghost Cultivator certainly couldn¡¯t form a core in the living world; the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation would be terrifying.


    Chen Mobai nodded, indicating she could call on him whenever she was ready.


    Meanwhile, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue were also working hard on upgrading the rank of the Soul Nourishing Wood, setting up formations and crafting Array Plates for the miniature Underworld. Fu Zongjue personally collected materials for crafting.


    Zhuo Ming was in constant communication with the Soul Nourishing Wood, understanding all of its needs.


    If all went smoothly, all that was missing was the Return to Sun Spirit Water and the method for the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    Chen Mobai had also asked Elder Ming, but she did not possess the method for the Legal Body Nascent Soul either, since a Ghost Cultivator could simply refine a Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood and directly transform into a Rank-4 Ghost King.


    As for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, she had seen it before. This object was considered the best tonic for them, the Ghost Cultivators who had seized a Ghost Fetus in the Womb.


    She verified the alchemy recipe and confirmed there were no issues.


    Chen Mobai hesitated whether to ask Yan Shaoyin to help refine it since he was the only one capable of it in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    But if he showed him this alchemy recipe, Yan Shaoyin would definitely deduce that Zhou Shengqing was intending to transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    Even though the two had just made a deal, based on Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding, Yan Shaoyin was likely not willing to help the Divine Wood Sect see the emergence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    Moreover, there was even a possibility that he might disclose this matter beyond Chen Mobai¡¯s ability to stop him.


    Because if one was to transform into the Legal Body Nascent Soul, besides the Return to Sun Spirit Water, there would certainly be the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood.

    If this information were to be spread out, Golden Wind Ancestor, who had only a bit of lifespan left, would have a reason to devote his final life¡¯s dying light to The Barren.


    Thus, after much consideration, Chen Mobai decided to abandon the option of seeking help from Yan Shaoyin.


    Time quickly passed, and another two months went by.


    [Gold 23, Wood 44, Water 34, Fire 87, Earth 34].


    Looking at his latest Spiritual Root Value on the Spirit-Testing Instruments, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief and put down the dried-up top-grade Spirit Stone in his hand.

 Chapter 1133 - Chapter 1133 Chapter 624 The Five Great Realms

    Chapter 1133: Chapter 624: The Five Great Realms Chapter 1133: Chapter 624: The Five Great Realms The second change in Spiritual Root of the Seven Suns Body occurred two months earlier than Chen Mobai had anticipated.


    This was mainly because after Qing Nu confirmed that there were no problems with the efficacy of the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill, and the transplant of the Green Charm Spiritual Tea had removed any lingering doubts about poison, Chen Mobai took the Rank-3 elixir.


    After four months of testing the pill on himself, Chen Mobai distinctly felt that the speed of his cultivation for the Pure Yang Daoist Body had significantly increased.


    And this change in his Fire Spiritual Root allowed him to accurately estimate the efficacy of the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill.


    This saved him nearly a third of the time he would have otherwise needed.


    Moreover, the pill had the effect of enhancing the cultivation progress for any type of cultivation technique or spell relating to the fire attribute.


    The cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll was smooth, but not fast.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and Fire Spirit Body talent were among the top, yet even after reaching Core Formation, it would take ten years to break through to the third layer of the Gold Core.


    According to this pace, he would need about eight more years to break through to the fourth layer of the Gold Core.


    While this speed was considered quite fast, both in the Immortal Gate and in the Tianhe Realm, it should be known that Fu Zongjue took fifty-five years after Core Formation to break through to the mid-stage with the aid of the Blood Spirit Pill.


    However, Chen Mobai had always held himself to the high standards required of one with the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, feeling that this pace of progress was rather mediocre.


    Now, with the help of the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill, he was somewhat satisfied with the speed of his cultivation.


    After confirming the pill¡¯s potency, Chen Mobai was concerned about whether he could have a steady supply of Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pills in the future.


    After all, the effects of a single pill could only last for one year.


    He used the Heavenly Communication Device to contact Zeng Woyou. The Black Crow Elixir Scripture had already been given to this top alchemist of the sect, and now Chen Mobai requested that the Alchemy Department, besides refining Foundation Building Pills, should refine the Longevity Dew and Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pills that he needed.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the other auxiliary ingredients are already being collected consecutively. However, the two main ingredients for the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill, Fire Dragon Tree Ganoderma, and Black Crow Golden Feather, are rumored to be found only in the Sun Bathing Sea of the East Barbarians. I¡¯ve already asked Brother Chu to collect them in the Golden Crow Immortal City, but the progress isn¡¯t very promising¡­¡±


    Faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry, Zeng Woyou naturally told the truth.


    ¡°Hmm, just prepare the various auxiliary ingredients first, I will also urge Chu Zuoshu a bit.¡±


    After asking the questions, Chen Mobai recalled how Chu Zuoshu had difficulties just acquiring a Rank-3 Pure Bamboo last time, and given that the Fire Dragon Tree Ganoderma and Black Crow Golden Feather were not inferior to the Pure Bamboo as Rank-3 Spirit Materials, it was likely that this wouldn¡¯t go smoothly either.


    Perhaps, it was necessary to ask for help from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild or Yan Shaoyin.


    However, regarding these two items, Chen Mobai wondered if it would reveal that the Divine Wood Sect had the recipe for the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill, which required careful investigation and consideration. Confirming that they would not bring trouble from the Sun Bathing Sea was necessary before asking either party for assistance.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai made a note of this matter and then picked up the phone at his side, clicking on Turtle Treasure to be transported into the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    After several lessons, he would no longer forget to visit the Talent Tree to pluck heritage after a change in Spiritual Root had occurred.


    Within the heritage space, he looked at the various strange phantom images representing the twenty-four Grand Spells and couldn¡¯t help but begin to ponder.


    In all honesty, he wasn¡¯t very eager about the so-called twenty-four Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect.


    After all, within the law repository of the Immortal Gate, all the spells of the Four Great Daoist Academies and the Ten Great Academies were stored there.


    As long as his rank was high enough, he could download even Immortal Techniques.


    But after acquiring the technique of Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, he felt that it was better to get his hands on all twenty-four Grand Spells as soon as possible.


    And now, what he most wanted was the ¡°External Incarnation.¡±


    After all, the content of the All Laws Persona he was cultivating was rather vague; the reason he had managed to succeed was thanks to the Enlightenment Tea. How to advance and enhance in the future was something he had to figure out on his own, filling in the gaps step by step.


    Though he had already achieved Empowerment from the Great Dao Tree and knew the realms of the first three ranks: Heavenly Marrow, Heavenly Vessel, and Heavenly Viscus, it was like having a building in the air ¨C he knew the answers without knowing the questions.


    Therefore, he urgently needed to unlock the complete technique of ¡°External Incarnation¡± to transform the realms he was empowered with into real strength.


    Chen Mobai walked up to the various mysterious phantom images representing the twenty-four Grand Spells, such as the leaf, flames, lance, wooden man, jade, fresh flowers, iron hammer, and so on, examining and thinking, trying to determine which one represented External Incarnation.


    He had also asked Elder Ming about the twenty-four Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect, but because she had sworn oaths upon her Dao Heart, she could not speak of the cultivation techniques and spells she practiced within the sect.


    A Dao Heart oath lasts for lifetimes; even after death, it does not dissipate.


    It can even affect future lives. If there was an oath in a previous life, it would still come to pass.


    It was precisely because of the existence of the Dao Heart oaths that the Tianhe Realm¡¯s environment still maintained some semblance of order.


    Although Elder Ming couldn¡¯t disclose specific cultivation content, informing him of the names and effects of the twenty-four Grand Spells was no issue.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, this information was common knowledge in ancient times.


    Chen Mobai recalled the ¡°One-Leaf Blindness¡± and ¡°Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth¡± he had unlocked.


    The former was represented by a leaf in this heritage space, while the latter was a stem, both of which matched the respective Grand Spells quite well.


    So, which image better suited the ¡°External Incarnation¡±?


    Chen Mobai walked around the circle of the twenty-four phantom images within the heritage space and finally stopped in front of the wooden man.

 Chapter 1134 - Chapter 1134 Chapter 624 The Five Realms _2

    Chapter 1134: Chapter 624 The Five Realms _2 Chapter 1134: Chapter 624 The Five Realms _2 An External Incarnation is the technique used by a Heavenly Sovereign to travel.


    And since the Heavenly Sovereign is the Divine Tree, what it naturally represents is this wooden figure.


    After contemplating, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated; he reached out and grabbed the phantom before him.


    In an instant, the wooden figure disintegrated from his palm, spilling out into a rainbow of five colors.


    The Green Leaf Talisman, which represented Chen Mobai¡¯s status as Longevity Sect Saint Son, lit up on his forehead, and the five-colored light from his palm took flight, merging one by one into this talisman.


    Then, all the knowledge about the Grand Spell that the wooden figure represented began to transform into text, images, and melodies within his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    It was hard to tell how much time had passed when Chen Mobai burst into laughter as he left the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He had indeed guessed correctly; the Grand Spell that the wooden figure represented was the ¡°External Incarnation.¡±


    Heavenly Marrow, Heavenly Vessel, Heavenly Viscus, Heavenly Star, Heavenly Garment! The profound meanings of these five great realms were now deeply imprinted in his heart and mind!


    ¡°Heavenly Marrow¡± referred to the entire bone marrow of the External Incarnation, which also served as the foundation. The type of energy used by a cultivator determined the potential height the External Incarnation could reach in the future.


    For example, if one used fire spiritual power to condense it, then the future External Incarnation would possess flames attributes. When employing the Law of Heaven and Earth, it could control the myriad fires between heaven and earth, destroying all things.


    Whereas, the bone marrow of Chen Mobai¡¯s External Incarnation was condensed from the power of the Void. Using the terms from the Immortal Gate, this was known as a ¡°Void Spirit Body.¡±


    It was a very rare and precious type of Spiritual Body.


    Perhaps in terms of destruction, it was not on par with Earthly Fiends, but it could achieve even greater heights than a Five Elements Spiritual Body.


    According to the research by Zhongli laozu, the realms above Divinity Transformation were related to the Void. Possessing a Void Spirit Body would make breakthroughs easier.


    This was also why Zhongli laozu attempted to cultivate the Xuanwu Phenomenon, evolving the profound mystery of the Void with the Bagua Mirror.


    After reading the description of the Heavenly Marrow Realm of the External Incarnation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of relief.


    By using the Power of Void from Void Stones to condense his bone marrow, he had taken the right path by a happy coincidence. Otherwise, for the sake of his future achievements, he might have had to discard this hard-earned External Incarnation and start over with collecting resources for cultivation.


    Following Heavenly Marrow is Heavenly Vessel!


    This step requires the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins. Once achieved, one can draw upon the associated energy of one¡¯s own foundational bone marrow.


    For instance, Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of the External Incarnation relied on resources like the Void Stones, but they would run out one day.


    Using just the territorial resources of Eastern Wilderness, it would be impossible to support his External Incarnation¡¯s cultivation to Rank-4.


    But once the Heavenly Vessel is achieved, it will automatically draw the power of the Void from the world around, incessantly pouring it into the External Incarnation, enhancing its realm and strength.


    At this point, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but slap his thigh. If he had known this when forming his Golden Core Domain, he would have shown the Immortal Gate the prowess of a Void Spirit Body¡¯s Divine Qualification!


    In that case, the title of the greatest talent of all times at Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s Immortal Gate might have been shaken by him.


    What a pity!


    After expressing his regrets, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the next realm of the External Incarnation.


    The so-called Heavenly Viscus involves condensing the Five Elements Essence from the heavens and the earth into the internal core of the External Incarnation, creating a complete human ¡°heaven and earth¡± with a cyclic Five Elements system.


    This realm is also known as the ¡°Wuqi Chaoyuan¡±!


    Upon reaching this realm, one can freely transform the Five Elements Spiritual Power, and the External Incarnation will no longer have any weaknesses that can be exploited.


    It is said that the Heavenly Sovereign created this realm so that he could freely utilize the five great Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect, evolve the extreme changes of the Five Elements, and rid himself of the shackles that bound his wooden body.


    Chen Mobai, upon reading this, thought of the Primordial Dao Fruit!


    He estimated that True Lord Yuan must have also referenced this External Incarnation when he developed this Divine Skill.


    The subsequent Heavenly Star is the condensation of the various apertures of the incarnation, drawing forth the seventy-two kinds of Earthly Fiendish Qi hidden deep within the land.


    Since the Heavenly Sovereign attained enlightenment as a Spirit Plant, he naturally boasted the ability to suppress, control, and absorb the mighty power of the Earth, making him virtually invincible upon mastering this realm, his footing above the vast expanse.


    And the final Heavenly Garment is the condensation of the Nine Heavens Pure Qi into the flesh, skin, and embryonic membrane of the External Incarnation.


    Heavenly Star and Heavenly Garment, respectively, condense the clear and murky qi.


    Added to this are the essences of the Five Elements; the complete evolution of a world is embodied within this External Incarnation.


    Upon reaching such a realm, the External Incarnation achieves Great Perfection and can wield the power of Law of Heaven and Earth. With a mere raise of the hand or a step taken, a world¡¯s mighty force can burst forth, which this current world cannot bear.


    At this point, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh. In the Tianhe Realm, there was indeed uniqueness in battle techniques, so much so that even a Spirit Plant like the Heavenly Sovereign painstakingly invented such a protective technique as the External Incarnation, safeguarding himself during travels.


    ¡°I wonder how much Earthly Fiendish Qi the Eternal Ancestor has condensed?¡±


    Having comprehended the External Incarnation thoroughly, Chen Mobai thought back to the former master of the Eastern Wilderness, this Ancestor Hunyuan, who also left behind a resounding reputation in the Eastern Region.


    Now it seemed that the reason he made his presence known in all six domains of the Eastern Earth was to search for Earthly Fiendish Qi, to enhance the Heavenly Star realm of his External Incarnation.


    Although the Tianhe Realm has far richer resources than the Immortal Gate, many valuable cave dwellings are occupied by the major sects of the Eastern Earth. Even a supremely powerful individual like the Eternal Ancestor can only trade to obtain the Earthly Fiendish Qi he needs.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai guessed that he must not have collected all seventy-two kinds of Earthly Fiendish Qi; otherwise, with the fighting power of the External Incarnation, those holy lands of the Eastern Earth would probably treat him as an honored guest.


    ¡°It seems I need to properly study the Yuanqi system¡­¡±


    Thinking of the Earthly Fiendish Qi, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself.


    Once he learns this subject created by Elder Yuanxu, he could try synthesizing Earthly Fiendish Qi himself.


    Utilizing the vast resources and cultivators of the Tianhe Realm, as long as he perseveres, instructing the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to collect naturally occurring Earthly Fiendish Qi, while artificial synthesizing the rare types within the Tianhe Realm, one day he could perfect the Heavenly Star realm.


    When he thought of the Yuanqi system, Chen Mobai naturally remembered Yan Bingxuan, his old friend he had not seen for a while.


    After finishing her advanced studies at the Repairing Heaven Institute, she had returned to the Nature Studies Academy to serve as a Teaching Assistant, intending to follow the path to Core Formation just as Yan Qiongzhi had.


    Since it was a proven example, Chen Mobai was quite supportive of her.


    Now, Yan Bingxuan was improving her cultivation level and Ice Spirit Root value, while accumulating years of service, waiting to exchange for a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill.


    Chen Mobai thought that the vast and profound Yuanqi system, easy to learn but hard to master, whether he could ask the beautiful Yan to help him with this matter?

    As for exactly how she could help, he still needed to come up with an excuse.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t expose the Tianhe Realm and had to proceed within the Immortal Gate¡¯s framework, in a completely legal and compliant manner.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate once more.


    It just so happened that Wang Shuye had also sent news that Kaiyuan Hall had approved the proposal to include Red Sandstone City under Chen Mobai¡¯s command. Although the formal appointment still had to go through the other two great halls, Chen Mobai could already go to Red Sandstone City to meet with the Immortal Gate¡¯s official system there, preparing for the handover.


    For this, Chen Mobai naturally expressed his thanks.

 Chapter 1135 - Chapter 1135 Chapter 625

    Chapter 1135: Chapter 625 Chapter 1135: Chapter 625 Chen Mobai returned to Red Sandstone City, naturally knowing his way around.


    Unfortunately, there were fewer familiar faces.


    The previous City Lord, Qin Baipeng, though not found to be colluding with the Ascension Sect, was still blamed for his oversight as the leader of the city.


    As a result, he was removed from his position; at the peak of his career, he was directly reassigned to oversee fish farming at the North Sea.


    It wasn¡¯t just Qin Baipeng; within the official system of Red Sandstone City¡¯s Immortal Gate, there were only a handful of people left that Chen Mobai knew and had interacted with.


    Following Qin Baipeng, the new City Lord of Red Sandstone City was named Sui Shanfu, a graduate of the Repairing Heaven Institute, and thus an alumnus of Chen Mobai.


    When Wang Shuye was operating in Kaiyuan Hall, Sui Shanfu had already received news that Chen Mobai might come to oversee Red Sandstone City.


    Once the appointment was confirmed, he immediately made a phone call.


    Chen Mobai had a brief conversation with him, stating that everything would remain as usual, that he came to Red Sandstone City because it was his home, and that¡¯s why he would sit atop Danxia Mountain despite the risks of the Ascension Sect starting anew.


    Sui Shanfu expressed his admiration for that.


    Chen Mobai spent ten years in Yu Wood City creating the image of a man dedicated to bitter cultivation, adverse to enjoying life and managing affairs, so there was no opposition to him coming to oversee Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Councilman Chen, these are all the materials on the Biyu Wutong tree; please keep them safe.¡±


    That day, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Danxia Mountain, and the person in charge of the Jumang Academy there handed over their research findings of the past years to him.


    There was also an original set of these materials at the Forestry Headquarters of Xianwu Hall, but Chen Mobai took a copy for the convenience of the relevant personnel who might come over for consultation.


    After this handover, Danxia Mountain, with its fourth grade superior Spirit Vein, belonged to him.


    Atop the mountain stood three wooden huts, where Shi Qing used to live and cultivate in seclusion.


    Not far outside the wooden huts stood a giant Wutong tree, erect on the highest point of the mountain, tall and straight, with a trunk like dragons and distinct lines, spreading its foliage and occupying most of the mountain peak.


    Chen Mobai walked under the dense leaves, looking up at the sky-obscuring Biyu Wutong tree and could not help but reach out to touch it, feeling the rough and thick bark slightly warm, which caused the Pure Yang Spiritual Power inside his body to become a bit more active.


    It¡¯s just a pity Chen Mobai did not have Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, and despite trying to communicate, he never got a response from the Spirit Tree.


    But he did not mind these things.


    After all, he came to Red Sandstone City mainly because he saw the potential of the fourth-order Fire Vein here, which could help increase his cultivation speed.


    So, after spending two days reuniting with his family down the mountain, Chen Mobai declined all invitations within Red Sandstone City and went straight back to the mountain to begin his secluded cultivation.


    Danxia Mountain and Giant Tree Ridge both hosted fourth grade superior Spirit Veins, but the Fire Pulse Land was clearly more suitable for him.


    The effects of the Golden Crow¡¯s Sundrop Pill seemed to improve a bit under such conditions.


    Besides this, Chen Mobai also thought about how to reasonably get involved with the business of Earthly Fiendish Qi.


    Among the Evil Qi open for mining by the Immortal Gate, there was Green Wood Evil.


    Within the Danxia Mountain Range, due to the land being covered with Wutong trees, a cave had been artificially cultivated to produce Green Wood Evil.


    During his time at the Daoist Academy, he had become famous throughout the Immortal Gate with the Qingyang Sword Devil technique, which evolved from the Primordial Yang Sword Evil and also required the condensing of Green Wood Evil.


    Using his need to cultivate Sword Evil as a reason, Chen Mobai inquired about the production of Green Wood Evil in Red Sandstone City.


    Although the Earthly Fiendish Qi was under the guardianship and cultivation of Red Dawn Institution, the ownership belonged to the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Rank-1 Green Wood Evil can produce twelve strands a year, rank-2 produces one strand every three years, while rank-3 requires a report to the supreme department of the Wangwu Cave Heaven Resource Management Bureau, where production and mining need their written approval,¡± Sui Shanfu explained fluently to Chen Mobai¡¯s questions.


    ¡°I need this Evil Qi for the cultivation of the Qingyang Sword Devil technique, but I do not want to go through the process with Wangwu Cave Heaven. I wonder, is there a way you could help, City Lord Sui?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, had extensive connections, he could not possibly make a phone call to Wang Shuye for such a trivial matter.


    Sui Shanfu showed approval of his idea.


    Anything that needed to go through Wangwu Cave Heaven¡¯s process would be stalled at the final stage even with complete paperwork, and they would only give approval at the last moment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, one would owe quite a few favors, so if it could be resolved locally, it typically wouldn¡¯t be reported.


    ¡°Councilman Chen, you are overseeing both Red Sandstone and Yu Wood Cities, and I remember there¡¯s a cave there cultivating Green Wood Evil, too. You can purchase all the Green Wood Evil produced in both places in your own name, and then invite an expert proficient in the Yuanqi system to combine these rank-1 and rank-2 Green Wood Evil into rank-3. You¡¯ll just need to file a report to the Resource Management Bureau after the combination, no waiting for approval necessary,¡± suggested Sui Shanfu.


    Chen Mobai heard what he wanted, pretending to ponder for a moment, voicing his concern again with a hint of worry.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°As an energy source, Green Wood Evil is in demand by other companies, too. If I monopolize all production from both cities, it might result in impeachment¡­¡±


    Sui Shanfu, ¡°Then find someone unrelated to you on the surface to start a local Evil Qi Energy Company. Then our Red Sandstone City officials can sign an investment invitation contract with it, giving priority to providing Green Wood Evil as a cooperative resource to this company.¡±

 Chapter 1136 - Chapter 1136 Chapter 625_2

    Chapter 1136: Chapter 625_2 Chapter 1136: Chapter 625_2 Chen Mobai: ¡°City Lord Sui is somewhat underutilized in Red Sandstone City!¡±


    To this, Sui Shanfu merely responded with a humble smile.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s second time experiencing the exceptional talent of Immortal Gate cultivators. The first time was with the City Lord of Yu Wood City, Wen Ping; indeed, anyone who could become the lord of a city¨Cat least in terms of capabilities and wisdom¨Cwas fully accomplished.


    Chen Mobai merely hinted slightly, and Sui Shanfu immediately thought of a strategy that matched his expectations perfectly.


    No wonder he was chosen by the Immortal Gate to take over the mess in Red Sandstone City after Qin Baipeng.


    After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai called Yan Bingxuan.


    Upon hearing that it was his affair, Yan Bingxuan did not hesitate and immediately booked a ticket to return.


    As a Foundation Establishment practitioner who graduated from Repairing Heaven Institute, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s entrepreneurial venture back home naturally received the best conditions from Red Sandstone City.


    He obtained not only the ten-year mining rights of the Qingmu Evil Cave on Danxia Mountain at the lowest price, but also the land granted for the construction of his factory.


    The capital for starting the Evil Qi energy company partly came from loans from the Immortal Gate Bank and partly from private financing from his good friend Chen Mobai.


    Of course, since the company was nominally Yan Bingxuan¡¯s, she still put in all her savings to take shares and apply for the business license.


    ¡°Are you not afraid that you¡¯ll go bankrupt if it fails?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had spent one hundred million Good Deed Points to open a Void Blind Box, he still had more than enough funds in his account to support Yan Bingxuan¡¯s company.


    But Yan Bingxuan insisted on investing her own money, to which Chen Mobai jokingly asked.


    ¡°With you, the emperor of Red Sandstone City, backing me up, I can¡¯t think of any reason why I would lose money.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan answered seriously, and upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a mere councilor of the Kaiyuan Hall. I dare not call myself an emperor. Everything about the company must be done legally and in compliance. Moreover, let me tell you the truth, the reason I asked you to start this company is just to prepare for the subsequent research on artificially synthesizing seventy-two types of Earthly Fiendish Qi.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the Sword Destruction Collection from Zuo Gong. He told Yan Bingxuan that he planned to master all the Sword Sha formations in it, then merge them into a grand Sword Diagram to demonstrate a higher level of his Sword Dao!


    This meant that the company would surely be pumping money into research in the beginning and at best would break even¨Cthe profits wouldn¡¯t be high.


    ¡°Anyway, with your support, even if the company goes bankrupt, you just have to take care of me,¡± Yan Bingxuan said, jokingly making a statement that touched Chen Mobai. He looked intently at the stunning beauty in front of him.


    She was tall and today wore a white shirt which clung tightly across her chest, revealing an impressively firm and bold silhouette; it seemed as if the button might give way at any moment. Below, she wore a black business skirt, her creamy and radiant long legs matched the hemline, highlighting her fairness and glow.


    Her face was still cold, but in the eyes that met Chen Mobai¡¯s, there was an extra touch of tenderness invisible to others.


    ¡°Fine, if the company goes bankrupt, I¡¯ll support you for a lifetime!¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but respond, and Yan Bingxuan¡¯s lips, which had been pursed, bloomed into an unprecedentedly beautiful smile.


    If she who didn¡¯t smile often suddenly did, it could look this beautiful.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, a mountain breeze blew by. The two standing under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree couldn¡¯t help but look up, as a leaf of lush greenery fell.


    Chen Mobai caught it and then dried it with his Pure Yang Spiritual Power before handing it to Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Consider it a Rank-4 Spirit Plant. I¡¯ve inscribed a talisman on it just for you,¡± he said.


    Yan Bingxuan took it and thanked him.


    With the company of the stunning Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai experienced an unprecedented level of emotional fulfillment, to the point where even his cultivation was somewhat delayed.


    He accompanied Yan Bingxuan to inspect the site for building the factory. With his influence, the land available for allocation by Red Sandstone City officials was naturally hers for the choosing.


    The two ultimately chose the location nearest to the Qingmu Evil Cave, not only for convenience in material sourcing in the future but also because it was close to Danxia Mountain, which allowed the transmission of Rank-3 spiritual energy, thereby not delaying Yan Bingxuan¡¯s cultivation.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet factory was originally flawed in this respect, situated at the most remote area between Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City; the place was large, but the highest grade of spiritual energy that could be transmitted there was only Rank-2.


    If he hadn¡¯t been using spirit stones, it¡¯s likely that the puppet factory would have to shut down for three days to recharge after operating for just one day.


    Nevertheless, it was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai was able to keep most of the output of his puppet factory a secret, circulating to the Immortal Gate market only enough talisman paper and talisman ink to match the annual cost of spiritual energy, while dumping the rest into the Eastern Wilderness.


    Now, just from talisman paper alone, the shop at Little Nan Mountain brought Chen Mobai an annual income of five hundred thousand spirit stones.


    Now that the talisman ink has also started selling, it can bring in an additional one hundred thousand spirit stones each year.


    Adding on the spirit rice, spiritual wine, and so on produced at Little Nan Mountain, the big disciple¡¯s current business target is already moving towards an annual income of one million spirit stones.


    If not for the fact that most of the spirit rice from Little Nan Mountain was consumed internally by the Divine Wood Sect, Liu Wenbo could have reached the annual income goal of one million much earlier.


    However, Chen Mobai has reached a stage where he no longer values spirit stones at all because, in the Eastern Wilderness, he¡¯s reached a point where he can¡¯t even use them all up.


    Now, it¡¯s only Zeng Woyou from the Alchemy Department who helps him refine Longevity Dew every year, which roughly consumes tens of thousands of his spirit stones.


    In the future, with the addition of the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir, this could increase to an annual cost of five hundred thousand spirit stones.


    But for Chen Mobai, this was putting resources to good use.


    After all, he didn¡¯t dare to spend these spirit stones in Immortal Gate, so using them in the Eastern Wilderness was like promoting the local economy.


    It¡¯s said that owing to the fact that they help him refine elixirs annually, the cultivators of the Spirit Plant Department and Alchemy Department, as well as many families that cultivate medicinal fields under the Divine Wood Sect in the six countries, have all prospered.


    Moreover, precisely because of this, any elixir Chen Mobai needed was met with full cooperation from all the major powers under the Divine Wood Sect, and no matter the cost, they would gather the various medicinal ingredients at the first opportunity for Zeng Woyou to start the refining process.


    After running around the outskirts of Red Sandstone City with Yan Bingxuan for a month, the two finally settled all their affairs.


    For the relevant mechanical equipment, naturally, they sought out their old acquaintance Zhou Tiangong. With Chen Mobai¡¯s face, the chief engineer of the Tiangong Instrument Factory came personally to hear their requirements, helped design the equipment blueprints, and even conveniently finished the blueprints for the factory buildings matched to the equipment.


    As for the Repairing Heaven Institute, the source of the Yuanqi system, they had to purchase related patents!


    The geniuses of the Repairing Heaven Institute had long since researched methods for the artificial synthesis of all Earthly Fiendish Qi ever encountered in the Immortal Gate.


    If Yan Bingxuan¡¯s energy company wanted to synthesize Earthly Fiendish Qi artificially, they would definitely apply the successful research from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    With their level of expertise, they certainly couldn¡¯t develop a new method from scratch.


    Even if they could, it would be too much of a waste of time.


    The thing Chen Mobai disliked most was wasting time.


    The fees for the patents from the Repairing Heaven Institute could be purchased individually or in a bundle, but they were all very expensive!


    Within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai was just about middle-class economically; to buy all the patents for artificial synthesis of Earthly Fiendish Qi was indeed beyond his means.


    Having no other choice, he had to activate his own network!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Fortunately, as a Golden Core Master and being seen by the entire Immortal Gate as the future Sect Leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, they were all willing to give him this much face.


    ¡°Elder Yuanxu owns a company that has a package in its inventory with all patents related to the artificial synthesis of Earthly Fiendish Qi; you can lease it for a year¡¯s trial use under a rental name, which will be one-tenth the price. After a year, you can renew it for another trial period and just keep renewing it. For this matter, you just need to speak to little Lou. He¡¯s currently in charge of that storage.¡±


    After hearing Fu Borong¡¯s advice, Chen Mobai immediately called Lou Fengcheng, someone he hadn¡¯t been in touch with for a long time.


    Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t a person of power and hadn¡¯t deleted Lou Fengcheng¡¯s number just because he had achieved Core Formation.


    However, when he made the call, it took a long time before it was answered.

 Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter 626 The Source of the Five Elements

    Chapter 1137: Chapter 626: The Source of the Five Elements Essence Chapter 1137: Chapter 626: The Source of the Five Elements Essence Upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s phone number, Lou Fengcheng felt a faint pain in his body.


    He really didn¡¯t want to answer.


    But he couldn¡¯t not answer.


    After all, the other party was a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall of the Immortal Gate, a Golden Core Master!


    Taking a deep breath, Lou Fengcheng answered the call and started with an apology.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Councilor Chen, I just went to brew a pot of tea and didn¡¯t have my phone with me¡­¡±


    After settling the matter of the patent, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan began recruiting talent.


    This step proved quite difficult.


    Because the Yuanqi system was a niche field even within the Immortal Gate, only top Daoist Academies offered this subject, but those who graduated with achievements from these places wouldn¡¯t give Red Sandstone City a second glance.


    Aside from the lack of prospects for development, it was also because this was a place of trouble and strife.


    Although the Immortal Gate had undergone several clean-ups from top to bottom, no one could guarantee that the Ascension Sect¡¯s forces wouldn¡¯t make a comeback, and getting involved in that would be asking for trouble.


    Keep in mind that even Yu Tianguang, a Golden Core Master like him, had fallen into a trap in Danxia City, with his century-long Dao practice ruined in an instant.


    Despite calling out for a long time, even when Chen Mobai called Fu Borong again, hoping that he would spread the word within the Repairing Heaven Institute, not a single Foundation Establishment Practitioner was willing to come.


    They could only lower their requirements to the Qi Cultivating Realm, and finally, some graduates from the less popular Yuanqi system sent in their resumes.


    Yan Bingxuan, through online interviews, hired six of them.


    ¡°To synthesize Green Wood Evil, these people will barely suffice, but if you intend to synthesize all the Earthly Fiendish Qi in the future, you¡¯ll definitely need to find a solution for the talent issue,¡± she said.


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Evil Qi energy company initially started mainly to supply Chen Mobai with Green Wood Evil.


    This was relatively easy because the raw materials were already available, and it could be accomplished with precision experiments and equipment.


    But if they wanted to artificially synthesize other types of Earthly Fiendish Qi in the future, then the source of Five Elements Essence must be resolved.


    ¡°We still need to hire more employees!¡± Chen Mobai sighed after hearing this.


    The Immortal Gate prohibited the sale and trade of Five Elements Essence, but there was one form that was exempt.


    That was to start a company, hire employees, and under the guise of research, collect the employees¡¯ Five Elements Essence to condense Earthly Fiendish Qi.


    As long as a formal contract was signed and the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate had it on record, it would be considered an official job.


    Sacrificing one¡¯s Five Elements Essence for work and research was quite normal!


    However, to avoid exploitation of this practice, the contract signed must be the standard one from the Immortal Gate, and the relevant departments could inspect the company at any time. If it was discovered that the contribution of Five Elements Essence from the employees exceeded the standard, the operation would be ordered to stop immediately, and the business license would be revoked.


    Although Chen Mobai could be considered a king in his own right in Red Sandstone City, he would not do such a foolish thing.


    Everything had to be done in accordance to official regulations.


    Moreover, as society within the Immortal Gate became increasingly competitive, employees who only provided Five Elements Essence were no longer valued.


    Yan Bingxuan needed elite talents who could not only provide Five Elements Essence but also had expertise in synthesizing at least three or more types of Earthly Fiendish Qi.


    ¡°Bing Xuan, what if I create more Formless Puppets and use the Five Elements Spiritual Power evolved by these puppets to replace the Five Elements Essence, would that be feasible?¡± Chen Mobai came up with a method.


    ¡°That seems feasible!¡± Yan Bingxuan¡¯s eyes lit up at his suggestion, showing an excited expression for the first time as she had been worried about the future supply of Five Elements Essence.


    Formless Puppets were the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Puppetry Technique, with their primary function to help Cultivators deduce Cultivation Techniques. As long as there was sufficient Spiritual Energy, they could simulate the Spiritual Power needed for any technique.


    Theoretically, given enough Spirit Stones, a Formless Puppet could provide any type of Five Elements Essence Yan Bingxuan desired day and night without rest.


    In the entire Immortal Gate, although there were some other methods to transform Five Elements Essence, none was as intelligent and convenient as the Formless Puppet.


    This was like having an alternative ¡°person¡± who was not bound by laws and could work tirelessly all year round.


    The more Yan Bingxuan thought about it, the more she found Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal ingenious, and her gaze toward the young man in front of her inevitably revealed admiration.


    Was this the most outstanding genius of the ten eras of the Immortal Gate?


    With each word and action, he had brought an unprecedented and shocking breakthrough to the entire Yuanqi industry.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll arrange to make the Formless Puppets, starting with five, using the simplified version with fixed Five Elements properties, which will be much cheaper and faster,¡± Chen Mobai said, feeling an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart amidst the admiring gaze of the beautiful Yan Bingxuan beside him, yet he remained as nonchalant on the surface as if he had just done a trivial thing.


    ¡°Right, I¡¯ll go and interview a few more people on different recruitment sites, trying to form a complete small team,¡± Yan Bingxuan responded.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After dividing the tasks, the two reluctantly parted ways to attend to their respective matters.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s current level, he was capable of crafting Formless Puppets on his own.


    But why do the labor himself if he could hire others to do it?


    He immediately made a call to Chai Lun to share his idea.


    Chai Lun also found this very interesting and thought the combination of Puppetry Technique with the Yuanqi system was fascinating and might lead to a breakthrough in the currently stagnant art of Puppetry within the Immortal Gate.

 Chapter 1138 - Chapter 1138 Chapter 626 The Source of Five Elements

    Chapter 1138: Chapter 626 The Source of Five Elements Essence_2 Chapter 1138: Chapter 626 The Source of Five Elements Essence_2 He immediately booked a flight ticket and headed to Red Sandstone City to discuss with Chen Mobai how to improve the Formless Puppets specifically for condensing the Five Elements Essence.


    Since Chai Lun had been notified, other friends who had once stood by him through thick and thin could certainly not be forgotten.


    Just having returned to the Red City Cave Heaven and having arranged for the Tiangong Instrument Factory to manufacture equipment, Zhou Tiangong, upon receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s call, immediately called a halt, indicating that the plan needed to be changed.


    If the Formless Puppets were to supply the Five Elements Essence in the future, the connection between these puppets and the equipment would definitely have to be considered in advance.


    If it had been anyone else telling Zhou Tiangong to change the plan at the last minute, he would certainly have given them the cold shoulder.


    But the suggestion from Chen Mobai made Zhou Tiangong realize that this could change the quiet industries of puppetry and elemental energy.


    The thought that this was an order that could change two industries, and considering that it came from Chen Mobai, Zhou Tiangong was no longer angry and booked another flight ticket to Red Sandstone City.


    The last to be informed was naturally Wen Ren Xuewei.


    When Chen Mobai called her, she was brewing tea in a pavilion above a lake that shimmered in the light.


    The pale green-robed girl gently lifted the teapot with her slender and snow-white right hand, and as the clear and translucent tea poured through the tea strainer, her elegant movements released a faint fragrance of tea from the crystal-clear, amber-like cups, while a light drizzle fell outside the pavilion.


    She had the speakerphone on, sipping tea while listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    Around the pavilion, by the lakeside, lotuses bloomed as if they were opening just to honor her tea-drinking.


    Leisure time spent brewing tea, listening to the wind, and watching the rain.


    Wen Ren Xuewei was undoubtedly the most contented person in the whole Immortal Gate.


    However, her graceful movements came to an abrupt halt after she finished listening to Chen Mobai.


    The teacup she had raised to her lips paused, and it took her a long while to respond.


    As the future helmswoman of Jumang Academy, Wen Ren Xuewei was without a doubt one of the upper-echelons of the Immortal Gate.


    In the original four-member team that created the Formless Puppets, only she realized that Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal could cause a huge upheaval for the future of the Immortal Gate.


    But immediately, she also felt a sense of honor arising within her.


    Because she too was about to participate in it, and in the future of the Immortal Gate, she would at least leave her own mark because of this matter.


    ¡°Wait for me a moment, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    That was all Wen Ren Xuewei replied to Chen Mobai.


    Then she flew across the lake and, amidst the light rain, arrived in front of the Great Chun Tree.


    The pale green-robed girl performed complex seal formulas towards this number one Spirit Plant of the Immortal Gate, and soon after, a silver radiance flickered¨Cshe had vanished above the lake.


    In Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai, who had just hung up the phone, wondered how Wen Ren Xuewei was going to get there.


    Would it be by plane or train?


    With her status, it was only right for him to personally welcome her.


    As Chen Mobai was about to call her again, he suddenly changed in expression and looked up towards the sky.


    The void suddenly distorted, and then a fine crack suddenly split open, slender and snow-white hands reaching out from the gap.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai could not help gripping the Purple Electric Sword in his palm.


    But remembering he was in the Immortal Gate, he held himself back, merely gripping the sword in his hand without drawing it.


    Thankfully he did, for when he saw the familiar figure of a beautiful girl stepping out from the void, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°How did you get here? Void Walking?¡±


    Chen Mobai discreetly loosened his grip on the Purple Electric Sword and sent it back into his Golden Core Domain. He looked with curiosity at Wen Ren Xuewei as she descended from the sky and asked.


    ¡°This is the Great Void Transference aided by the Great Chun Tree, which allows me to reach most domains of the Immortal Gate instantly.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s reply made Chen Mobai marvel in admiration.


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing. If Red Sandstone City faces another attack from the Ascension Sect, and I can¡¯t hold them off, will I be able to call you for help?¡±


    ¡°An opponent that you can¡¯t defeat, I would, even more so, be unable to. Besides, activating the Great Void Transference consumes more than half of my spiritual power. Even if I did come over, I would probably be at the end of my strength.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t your Lasting Spring Cultivation best at restoring energy?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Wen Ren Xuewei revealed a rather strange smile, then lifted the gauze-like sleeve of her Fairy Qing Shan. Chen Mobai saw her arm twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, as if it had been broken.


    ¡°Only a God-Transcending cultivator can endure Void Teleportation. If it wasn¡¯t for the protection of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, what would have arrived before you was a pile of minced meat.¡±


    The words of Wen Ren Xuewei left Chen Mobai with his mouth agape, his face a picture of shock.


    ¡°You could have just taken a plane here, I wouldn¡¯t have minded the wait?¡±


    By then, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s twisted arm had already recovered under the effect of the Lasting Spring Cultivation. She slipped her delicate, snow-white arm back into the wide sleeve of her Qing Shan, flashing Chen Mobai a subtle smile, her words tinged with playfulness.


    ¡°The main reason is that I¡¯ve just recently mastered the Void Teleportation and couldn¡¯t resist the urge to show off in front of you.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only give her a thumbs up.


    To be honest, he was truly envious of the Void Teleportation.


    But the thought of her slender arm twisted like a pretzel just now made him shiver.


    Without the Lasting Spring Cultivation, it was better for him to pass.


    Chen Mobai had never imagined that when he finally called Wen Ren Xuewei, she would be the first to arrive.


    Before Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong arrived, Chen Mobai simply started discussing the Enlightenment White Tea with her.


    Conveniently, Wen Ren Xuewei had brought tea leaves and tea equipment, and without any hesitation, she took out tables and chairs on top of Danxia Mountain and began her tea ceremony performance.


    ¡°Resources of the Immortal Gate are limited. Once, a Huashen Ancestor proposed implementing family planning to control the population.¡±


    ¡°But with this approach, should an interdimensional war break out, we might find ourselves at a disadvantage due to lack of manpower.¡±


    ¡°Thus, the ancestor suggested mobilizing the full strength of the Immortal Gate to create Puppet Dao soldiers that could be used indefinitely. Normally they would be sealed and stored away, and only activated and deployed during times of war.¡±


    ¡°However, ultimately due to immature technology, this proposal was shelved¡­¡±


    While drinking tea with Chen Mobai, Wen Ren Xuewei told him a piece of history that he was unaware of.


    This was about a high-level meeting in the Kaiyuan Hall, not recorded in official documents, and thus known only to a few.


    At that time, the most outstanding Puppetry Technique was found in the Jumang Academy.


    So, even though the proposal was shelved, influenced by the Huashen Ancestor, Jumang Academy still conducted research for over a hundred years.


    Success in creating the Formless Puppets, many scholarly achievements, stemmed from this research.


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai understood why Wen Ren Xuewei was so eager to come over after hearing his idea about using the Formless Puppets to produce Five Elements Essence.


    ¡°Refining the Puppet Dao soldiers, categorizing them, and turning them into various war arrays was also a core proposal of that same ancestor,¡± continued Wen Ren Xuewei. She wouldn¡¯t have shared this with anyone else, but as Chen Mobai, like her, was destined to lead one of the Four Great Daoist Sects in the future, he was entitled to know.


    ¡°If you really do complete this research, I suppose the Military Department will be looking for you.¡±


    The direct commander in charge of the Military Department happened to be one of the Three Great Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, the Righteous Law Hall Master. Coincidentally, he had already sent Lan Haitian to seek out Chen Mobai.


    Backed by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai may show respect for the Three Great Hall Masters, but he does not fear them!


    ¡°May I know which ancestor it was?¡±


    If it were a proposal from the Huashen Ancestor, then Chen Mobai would have to consider it carefully.

    Wen Ren Xuewei, however, chose to sip her tea and remain silent.


    After waiting a while, Chen Mobai could only accept the cup of tea she offered and drank it in one gulp.


    In the midst of this, a Spiritual Light of ice and snow flew up from the bottom of the mountain, and soon the tall figure of Yan Bingxuan appeared on the mountaintop.


    She looked directly at the Qing Shan-clad maiden sitting in the place of honor at the tea table, her beauty unsurpassed.


    As their gazes met, Wen Ren Xuewei smiled slightly and gestured an invitation.

 Chapter 1139 - Chapter 1139 627

    Chapter 1139: 627 Chapter 1139: 627 ¡°Bing Xuan, this is my friend Wen Ren Xuewei, a teacher from Jumang Academy. She and your teacher, the Qiongzhi Fairy, are close friends. You must have heard of her,¡±


    Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan coming up and naturally began to introduce her. While speaking, he also gestured for her to come over and take a seat.


    ¡°She is also one of the most outstanding tea masters of the Immortal Gate. Come and taste the tea she has brewed!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded, evidently aware of the famed master of the Lasting Spring Cultivation Technique.


    She hesitated for a moment but still addressed Wen Ren Xuewei, who sat in the place of honor, with a greeting and respectfully called her True Person before taking a seat.


    ¡°So you are Qiongzhi¡¯s student. I¡¯ve heard about you from her and have long wanted to meet you. This is Fengming Red Tea. It has a sweet and mellow taste. If women drink it regularly, their skin will become finer and fairer, delaying the aging of the body and preserving youth. Give it a try,¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei, seeing Yan Bingxuan sit down, elegantly lifted her hand to pick up the teapot on the side, and with a motion as if reaching into the void, a clear and jade-like teacup from her domain landed in her pale palm.


    Yan Bingxuan looked at the teacup presented in front of her, with tea that was clear, yellow, and bright, emitting a rich fragrance. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out to receive it and asked curiously.


    ¡°Does this really benefit the skin?¡±


    Every woman cares about this matter, even if she was already a Foundation Establishment Practitioner with a lifespan of 240 years. But now, at the age of 52, she would be considered to have passed her twenties by common mortal standards and was no longer a young girl.


    ¡°Of course. This Fengming Red Tea was discovered by the sages of Jumang Academy deep within the Fairy Mist Mountain of Qingcheng Celestial Domain. It has absorbed the quintessence of the earth and the rain dew from sweet springs. When roasting it, I have selected a hundred kinds of mountain flowers to emit their fragrance, and even used the academ¡¯s privileges to draw in the essence of the sun and moon for smoking and drying, creating this Spiritual Tea,¡±


    As Wen Ren Xuewei spoke, she took out her cell phone and played a video on the spot for Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan showing her picking tea in Qingcheng Celestial Domain, frying it with Solar Essence, and drying it with the Yin radiance of the moon.


    ¡°This video is quite professional.¡±


    After watching it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but take a sip of the bright yellow tea Wen Ren Xuewei had just refilled, and indeed, it tasted even better.


    However, the effects of preserving youth and benefiting the skin were of little concern to him.


    Given his lifespan, due to his early breakthrough in realms, his physical body had always remained as tender as that of an eighteen-year-old. Only after reaching a hundred years would signs of aging appear.


    And what was more fearsome was that only after reaching the age of three hundred and fifty would Chen Mobai¡¯s physical body move past its peak and start to weaken.


    A peak period of three hundred years. If the resources found in different worlds to come were abundant, all he needed to do was to leave seclusion to participate, and he would definitely obtain more than one dose of the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.


    For this reason, among all the Golden Core Masters of the current Immortal Gate, he was considered second only to Wen Ren Xuewei, with the highest potential for Nascent Soul Formation as viewed by the higher-ups.


    ¡°This is a promotional documentary about tea culture filmed by the Immortal Gate Television Station. The academy recommended me, and I filmed three episodes of it, this being one of them,¡±


    At this moment, Wen Ren Xuewei once again refilled Yan Bingxuan¡¯s cup. The initially subtle atmosphere between the two had now transformed into a harmonious and enjoyable one.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but mentally commend Wen Ren Xuewei; no wonder she was set to be the future Sect Leader of Jumang Academy. Her way of handling people and situations was worth learning.


    As Wen Ren Xuewei and Yan Bingxuan conversed, they actually addressed each other according to the seniority of Yan Qiongzhi. Chen Mobai found it a bit odd, but since the two female cultivators were on a first-name basis, he just focused on drinking his tea.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er niece, take this box of Fengming Red Tea. Three leaves are enough for a full day¡¯s consumption,¡±


    As an elder meeting a junior, Wen Ren Xuewei was very generous in presenting a box of Rank-2 Spiritual Tea as a gift for their first meeting.


    Yan Bingxuan hesitated and showed reluctance to accept, indicating she couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°Bing Xuan, take it. If there¡¯s one thing Wen Ren senior has plenty of, it¡¯s all kinds of Spiritual Teas,¡±


    As the Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai usually drank Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud and Green Charm Spiritual Tea. As for Rank-2 tea leaves, he felt they could only be used as small gifts for his juniors.


    There wasn¡¯t a problem with Yan Bingxuan accepting them. If anything, she could prepare a gift herself to reciprocate Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s generosity after she left.


    Hearing his comment, Yan Bingxuan, who had been declining, hesitated for a moment but then politely accepted it.


    Deep down, she truly wanted it.


    Next, the three of them began discussing methods of using puppets to create Five Elements Essence.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A day later, Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong arrived as well.


    The top four experts in puppetry research from the Immortal Gate, together with Yan Bingxuan, a graduate of the Yuanqi system from the Repairing Heaven Institute, started from the basics. They discussed how spiritual energy evolved into Five Elements Spiritual Power through cultivation techniques and how that power then transformed into Five Elements Essence.


    Soon, all the theories were laid out on paper.


    The rest was validation!


    ¡°With your status and position, you should have no problem applying for five intermediate-grade Spirit Stones that can be charged,¡±


    ¡°But it would be best to apply for ten, so they can be used in rotation for charging, which would greatly promote research experimentation,¡±


    ¡°The process from puppet to Five Elements Essence should pose no problems with the four of us, the authorities of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Puppetry Technique, overseeing it. However, Red Sandstone City is too remote, lacking the presence of a Yuanqi system grandmaster. I fear future research on Terrestrial Fiends¡¯ Qi might face difficulties.¡±

 Chapter 1140 - Chapter 1140 Chapter 627_2

    Chapter 1140: Chapter 627_2 Chapter 1140: Chapter 627_2 Chai Lun was rather straightforward, directly addressing the matter in front of Yan Bingxuan.


    After all, compared to the four Rank-3 Puppet Masters like them, Yan Bingxuan was merely a Rank-2 Earth Master.


    The Immortal Gate has extremely strict assessments for Rank-3.


    It should be noted that even Chen Mobai has not yet been certified as a Rank-3 Talisman Maker!


    ¡°The theory behind the artificial synthesis of Earthly Fiendish Qi has basically been conquered following Elder Yuanxu¡¯s research.¡±


    ¡°It primarily requires a vast amount of human resources for experiments and observations; a handful or a dozen people could at most only focus on the research of one or two types of Earthly Fiendish Qi.¡±


    ¡°Should we consider relocating the company to Linwu Cave Haven, which has the most abundant Green Wood Evil resources in the entire Immortal Gate? And although our Daoist Academy¡¯s Yuanqi system is not as developed as Patching Heaven¡¯s, after years of catching up, setting up a team of a hundred people is still feasible.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei was in fact speaking on behalf of Yan Bingxuan, and her suggestion was also accepted by the other two.


    In truth, the Dance Tool Dao Academy also had the Yuanqi system, but this elective course was unpopular within the academy, even less so than some Scholarly Mansions that had established partnerships with Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°Here is the plan: I intend to propose to the Ministry of Education that within the Qing Sang Academy, Red Dawn Institution, and Cinnabarite Institute under my command, we add the Yuanqi system as a subject, and even support it as a key project to establish this discipline as the hallmark of the three institutions.¡±


    ¡°Our project definitely requires sustained effort to see results. Planning for a decade per phase, I believe that after three or four phases, we will be able to accumulate enough manpower.¡±


    ¡°However, we might need to invite teachers from the Patching Heaven Institute for the Yuanqi system, and I¡¯m not sure if Fu Borong would give me that courtesy.¡±


    Chen Mobai was certainly not willing to let Yan Bingxuan relocate the company to Linwu Cave Haven, as he was engaged in the artificial synthesis of Evil Qi for his own cultivation¨Cnot at all for changing the future landscape of the Immortal Gate, as Wen Ren Xuewei and the others thought.


    ¡°Then how about we prepare on two fronts? I will also start an Evil Qi energy company in Linwu Cave Haven, and you all take a share in it.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words did not meet with opposition from Chen Mobai; after all, he just needed to own the company linked to Yan Bingxuan.


    As for what Wen Ren Xuewei intended to do with it, he didn¡¯t care.


    After the five had signed the contract, Chen Mobai immediately made a call to Fu Borong.


    ¡°Regarding this matter, it may be a bit difficult to handle¡­¡±


    Fu Borong spoke with a tone of difficulty in response to Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion to offer the Yuanqi system courses at the three major institutions under his command.


    Red Sandstone City was really too remote, and the ambitious teachers of the Repairing Heaven Institute would not want to come here.


    The Immortal Gate places the highest priority on personal rights, and not even Chen Mobai¡¯s influence was enough to compel Fu Borong to force the teachers of the Yuanqi system to come here to teach.


    ¡°The Yuanqi system at Primordial Elemental Academy is second only to ours at Repairing Heaven. Why don¡¯t you try asking them?¡±


    Hearing these words, Chen Mobai realized that Fu Borong was tactfully declining.


    ¡°Alright, thank you Director Fu!¡±


    Although the matter was unsuccessful, Chen Mobai still politely expressed his thanks.


    ¡°Indeed, the Yuanqi system of Primordial Elemental Academy is quite excellent, even surpassing that of our Jumang Academy.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei nodded in agreement after seeing him hang up the phone, affirming that what Fu Borong said was correct.


    ¡°Should I give Elder Qingping a call then?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words shocked everyone present, except for Wen Ren Xuewei, who appeared unfazed. After all, when they both opened up a domain in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, their mentor had been Elder Qingping.


    ¡°He is an elder, after all. Wouldn¡¯t it be too presumptuous to disturb him over such a trivial matter?¡±


    Chai Lun opened his mouth hesitantly.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll send him a text first. If he doesn¡¯t reply, we¡¯ll just let it be.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened and felt the same. Moreover, Elder Qingping was his idol; he hoped he could maintain a positive and good image in the elder¡¯s eyes.


    After editing and sending the message, Elder Qingping did not reply at all.


    Everyone waited for a long while; the tea Wen Ren Xuewei brewed had already been drunk in three rounds, and as the day was almost turning to night, they couldn¡¯t help but show a look of dejection.


    ¡°Although our Yuanqi system at Jumang Academy isn¡¯t as good as the Patching Heaven system, its foundation is solid. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, I will send three teachers over to assist you.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei spoke, and Chen Mobai nodded. It seemed there was no other choice for now.


    After drinking the last cup of tea, they took their leave one by one.


    Zhou Tiangong went back to making equipment, while Chai Lun activated his puppet company to custom-make the Five Elements Essence puppets that had been decided upon in these past days.


    At the top of Danxia Mountain, Wen Ren Xuewei nodded lightly towards Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan before preparing to use the Great Void Transference in front of them.


    ¡°Senior sister, I previously opened a Void Blind Box and got these pearls rich in Water Spirit Qi. Since you have the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root, I thought they could be best utilized in your hands, so I¡¯d like to give them to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately intervened, remembering that Wen Ren Xuewei had given a Rank-2 Spiritual Tea to Yan Bingxuan as a meeting gift. He refused to be stingy, so he took out a round, clear pearl as a reciprocal gift.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei was about to decline, but upon seeing the large pearl in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, her hand, which was initially outstretched to refuse, halted and involuntarily touched the pearl, feeling its smooth touch and the vast Water Spirit Qi inside. Even her usually refined and elegant face couldn¡¯t hide the slight shock.


    ¡°How can your luck be so good? I opened three Void Blind Boxes, and the most valuable thing I got was a bag of lower-grade and intermediate-grade Spirit Stones mixed together!¡±


    Once she regained her composure, Wen Ren Xuewei said with a hint of dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just beginner¡¯s luck. Next time I might end up with nothing valuable.¡±


    Chen Mobai let out a hearty laugh as he spoke. Yan Bingxuan, standing beside him, was deeply moved upon seeing him give away such a precious item in exchange for the box of red tea he had obtained for her; she struggled to find the right words.


    ¡°This is enough to buy all the Spiritual Teas on me. It¡¯s too valuable; I can¡¯t accept it. You should keep it for someone close to you.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei seemed to notice Yan Bingxuan¡¯s expression and let out a small smile. She withdrew her hand from the large pearl and shook her head in refusal.


    ¡°I have never taken back a gift once I¡¯ve given it out. Senior sister, if you feel undeserving, then give me some of your Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea instead. I¡¯m facing a difficulty in my cultivation and need it to contemplate and understand it.¡±


    Chen Mobai unhesitatingly placed the large pearl he was holding directly into Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s hand. She trembled slightly, but upon consulting her heart and realizing she truly liked it, she nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Junior brother, with such a personality and talent as outstanding as yours, you are truly endearing!¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei gave Chen Mobai all of the Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea she had on her, which would be enough to sustain its effects for a year if consumed entirely.


    ¡°Senior sister flatters me, my talents are no match for yours.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very modest. In the entire Immortal Gate, who dared say they were more outstanding than Wen Ren Xuewei with her three types of Heavenly Spiritual Roots?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Senior sister, the Enlightenment White Tea I¡¯ve grown is not bad, but if one consumes it long-term, its effects will gradually decrease until eventually, they last only a few minutes.¡±


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea has the same issue. That¡¯s why we only consume it at crucial moments of cultivation and enlightenment. Remember not to waste it.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very humble. In the entire Immortal Gate, who dared say they were more outstanding than Wen Ren Xuewei with her three types of Heavenly Spiritual Roots?


    ¡°Senior sister, the Enlightenment White Tea I¡¯ve grown is not bad, but if one consumes it long-term, its effects will gradually decrease until eventually, they last only a few minutes.¡±


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea has the same issue, so we only consume it at crucial moments of cultivation and enlightenment. You should remember not to waste it too much.¡±

 Chapter 1141 - Chapter 1141 Chapter 628

    Chapter 1141: Chapter 628 Chapter 1141: Chapter 628 Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique had already been cultivated to the top layer; although he could still enhance the strength of his Divine Consciousness, for his current realm, it was already somewhat insufficient.


    Among the three Divine Consciousness Techniques most suitable for Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, they were the Sun Golden Crow Method, Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, and Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.


    Chen Mobai had long since downloaded all of them from the Immortal Sect¡¯s library using his points and studied them multiple times.


    Because during ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± the Divine Sense and Spiritual Power would merge to form a Nascent Soul resembling a newborn, when choosing a Divine Consciousness Technique, one needed to consider if it could aid or even advance the process.


    Out of these, the Sun Golden Crow Method combined with the Pure Yang Scroll was considered the strongest.


    In the past, Yuanyang Ancestor formed his Nascent Soul using this method, eventually cultivating the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Purple Extreme Physique, dominating the yang energy of heaven and earth. With a single thought, he could scorch mountains and boil seas, and he even had the terrifying battle achievement of burning down a star.


    But when Yuanyang Ancestor practiced this path, it led to his Essence, Qi, and Spirit becoming too fiercely yang and overpowering, and he couldn¡¯t break through Nascent Soul to Ascendance.


    Furthermore, he admitted that if he weren¡¯t an Innate Pure Yang Body, he simply couldn¡¯t have withstood such tyrannical Yang Fire energy. The training of the Pure Yang Daoist Body was precisely to lay the groundwork for this, and several others with Acquired Pure Yang Bodies have succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation within the Immortal Sect.


    However, whether they could achieve Divinity Transformation, remained an unknown!


    Chen Mobai thought that with his background and identity, as long as he could cultivate to the critical moment, the Immortal Sect should be able to offer him the same treatment as Yuanyang Ancestor and send him through a Portal to the Taiyin Star for cultivation.


    Yet, the reason Yuanyang Ancestor managed to take this step was that he was a true once-in-an-aeon genius, the Immortal Sect¡¯s most undisputed talent across all ages!


    Chen Mobai feared that if the Immortal Sect sent him to Taiyin Star, he might not grasp the critical point of breakthrough for Ascendance and return in disgrace, tarnishing his reputation forever.


    However, if he had enough Enlightenment Tea, he felt it was worth considering the path of Yuanyang Ancestor.


    The second option, ¡°Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique,¡± is one of the Divine Consciousness Techniques paired with the Six Dominions Scripture, meant to lay the foundation for one¡¯s Nascent Soul. If one could achieve Divinity Transformation in the future, it would allow for spreading the point into a surface, evolving the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit into the Ascension Sect¡¯s most powerful Candle Dragon Dharma Aspect, drawn from the righteousness of heaven and earth and controlling the six energies!


    These were guesses proposed by Yuanyang Ancestor after his own Divinity Transformation because the ¡°Yang Section¡± and ¡°Light Section¡± of the Six Dominions Scripture shared the same ultimate truth as the Pure Yang Scroll, yet the Six Dominions Scripture covered a wider breadth in elucidating the cosmic Dao compared to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    In his later years, when Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s cultivation level hit a bottleneck, he sought to explore the domain beyond Divinity Transformation and chose the Six Dominions Scripture.


    Although he did not succeed in the end, he believed he had completed the transition from the Pure Yang Scroll to the Six Dominions Scripture, and even thought that if he had chosen the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique to lay the foundation for his Primordial Spirit from the outset, he might truly have turned theory into reality and stepped beyond Divinity Transformation!


    As knowledge within the Immortal Sect is shared, after Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s passing away in meditation, his theories on this were also unlocked for the general public.


    Chen Mobai, cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, was also extraordinarily excited about this!


    The last one, the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, was passed down by Ancestor Yunya from the Dance Tool Dao Academy together with the Pure Yang Scroll, originating from an extraordinary Technique from beyond this realm!


    Before Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s time, Cultivators of the ancient Pure Yang Scroll in the Immortal Sect would take this as their Divine Consciousness Technique.


    Although nobody from the Immortal Sect had ever used it to reach the highest domain, Ancestor Yunya mentioned that, in the distant depths of the universe, within the ancient Daoist institution where he came from, someone cultivated the Three Blue Birds Dharma Aspect with this method, becoming invincible across all realms!


    Ancestor Yunya¡¯s sect, the Dan Ding Sect, the ¡°Dan¡± character in its name references this very aspect.


    But this technique had its challenges; firstly, it belonged to Ancient Methods and required some time for Cultivators to adapt when combined with Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s revised Pure Yang Scroll.


    Moreover, it depicted the realms in a more simplified manner, not as detailed as the Immortal Sect¡¯s current division of each realm into nine layers.


    The Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram consists of only seven layers in total!


    They symbolize the early, middle, and late stages of both Gold Core and Nascent Soul, with the final layer concerning the elucidation of Divinity Transformation, a realm never reached by anyone within the Immortal Sect.


    However, confirmed by the words of Ancestor Yunya, it was at least certain to allow for Divinity Transformation.


    After the local-born Yuanyang Ancestor achieved Divinity Transformation, the majority of the Pure Yang Scroll Cultivators within the Immortal Sect abandoned the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram and switched to the Sun Golden Crow Method.


    After the passing of Yuanyang Ancestor, another choice emerged¨Cthe Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique!


    A thousand years ago, within the Immortal Sect, there was a heated debate between the proponents of the Ancient Methods and the New Methods for the Pure Yang Scroll.


    The representatives of both sides were the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy.


    Expectedly, the conservative Dance Tool Dao Academy suffered a resounding defeat in this debate.


    Yet the Dance Tool Dao Academy was stubborn, failing to win the debate, they decided to join in.


    After all, they considered themselves the orthodox practitioners of Pure Yang from the beginning!


    While the Pure Yang Academy had the support of the Repairing Heaven Institute, on this matter, even the Repairing Heaven Institute couldn¡¯t refute them.


    However, this was how the grudge between the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy began!


    Compared to the Sun Golden Crow Method and the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, another downside to the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram was that it cultivated slowly.


    Yet, to Chen Mobai, this flaw was actually an advantage.


    That¡¯s because cultivating this Divine Consciousness Technique required the presence of a Phoenix Tree of Spirit Wood as a habitat for resting one¡¯s Divine Consciousness.


    The higher the grade of the Phoenix Tree of Spirit Wood, the faster the cultivation speed.


    When Ancestor Yunya came to the Immortal Sect, he brought many Green Paulownia Seedlings and helped his Disciples find suitable Spirit Veins to plant them all over the Sect.


    And the one that thrived the best was the Biyu Wutong tree in Red Sandstone City.


    After Yu Tianguang¡¯s Core Formation, he came here hoping to use this Fourth Grade Superior Biyu Wutong tree to cultivate the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.


    Unfortunately, he carelessly encountered a formidable figure from the Ascension Sect¡¯s Evil Path and was afflicted with the Devour God Technique, leading to his downfall.


    Chen Mobai now presides over Red Sandstone City, essentially enjoying the Green Paulownia Seedling to himself. Given this opportunity, he felt that it would be a great disservice to the favors granted by the Immortal Gate if he did not make use of them.


    During this time, he had come to understand that the Immortal Gate had so readily given him this precious Rank-4 Superior Spirit Plant to preside over, probably because they wanted to support him, someone with the qualification for Divinity Transformation, to advance his realm at the fastest pace.


    But Chen Mobai was a cautious man by nature; even now that he had the Green Paulownia Seedling, he still had some worries about the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.


    After all, the other two cultivation techniques were not the slightest inferior to the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram; in fact, they might even be superior.


    The Sun Golden Crow Method was a great dao that the Yuanyang Ancestor had comprehensively explored.


    The Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, a theoretical completion by the late Yunyang Ancestor, presented the opportunity to breakthrough beyond the Divinity Transformation.


    Before he had the Green Paulownia Seedling, Chen Mobai had scarcely considered the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.


    But now that the Immortal Gate had given him this condition, he felt that it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to follow this path.


    Since this related to the foundation for his future ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, Chen Mobai still wanted to use the Enlightenment Tea to truly comprehend these three methods.


    After all, no one could say for certain just how fast the progress of cultivating the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram with the boost from the Green Paulownia Seedling would be.


    ¡°In your case, I think you could choose the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, which holds the greatest prospects,¡±


    Upon hearing what Chen Mobai had said, Wen Ren Xuewei expressed full confidence in his talent. After all, he was capable of outshining all of his contemporaries with his potential for Divinity Transformation, and it was genuinely possible for him to reach that state.


    If one could attain Divinity Transformation, it was natural to consider what lay beyond it!


    To avoid regretting like the Yuanyang Ancestor near the end of his life!


    ¡°Although I have great confidence in myself, this really does seem a bit too ambitious!¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was regarded in the Immortal Gate as someone who looked down on all, it would still be too arrogant to start considering the supreme state beyond Divinity Transformation, which no one in the Immortal Gate had ever reached, especially when he was just at the Gold Core stage now.


    This was truly overly presumptuous!


    Wen Ren Xuewei, hearing this, couldn¡¯t help lifting her sleeve, squinting her eyes and pursing her lips in a light laugh; her previous remark was somewhat in jest.


    After the joke, she began to offer her genuine advice from the perspective of the future leader of the Jumang Academy.


    ¡°The Sun Golden Crow Method requires intense yang fire during cultivation, and when breaking through, one needs to prepare yin attribute spiritual objects to assist in neutralization. Moreover, no one has yet verified whether an Acquired Pure Yang Body can actually achieve Divinity Transformation.¡±


    When she mentioned the word ¡°neutralization,¡± Wen Ren Xuewei seemed to suddenly realize something, her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows subtly glancing at Yan Bingxuan, who had been silent the entire time.


    But her movement was very slight; neither of the two opposite her noticed, as they were drawn into her following words.


    ¡°The original Tian Shu containing the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram was also brought to the Immortal Gate by Ancestor Yunya and is housed within the Heavenly Book Academy. It is said that the methods of cultivation beyond the seventh layer could be comprehended from it. If you can actually achieve Divinity Transformation in the future, with your peerless talent, perhaps you can directly comprehend the Heavenly Book and obtain even more and better than the Liu Yu Scripture.¡±


    ¡°If you succeed in forming your nascent soul, as long as Ancestor Baiguang supports you, you could transplant this Green Paulownia Seedling into your own Domain and Heaven¡¯s Abode.¡±


    ¡°I think this may be what the upper echelons have in mind, but they are all enigmatic, never liking to speak plainly. However, giving you this Green Paulownia Seedling so readily, they probably want you to feel that not cultivating the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram would be an immense waste.¡±¡±


    Chen Mobai could very much relate to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, which he had only come to understand recently.


    Would the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate be unaware of his cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll?


    They definitely knew about the benefits of the Green Paulownia Seedling for the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram. Lan Haitian came to replace the Righteous Law Hall Master to recruit Chen Mobai but failed; yet, he still reminded him of this matter.


    Apart from wanting to build good relations, it was also because no one within the Immortal Gate was more suitable for this Green Paulownia Seedling than Chen Mobai.


    The only one who might compete with Chen Mobai, Nangong Xuanyu, had long since been cultivating the Sun Golden Crow Method.


    The resources of the Immortal Gate were sparse, but they were always utilised to their fullest potential.


    This Rank-4 Superior Spirit Plant was better given to Chen Mobai rather than wasted in Red Sandstone City, for in a hundred years¡¯ time, the Immortal Gate could possibly gain another Nangong Xuanyu.


    ¡°After talking with you, my mind is clearer now, thank you,¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Wen Ren Xuewei, who gracefully performed an ancient courtesy, then disappeared from the Top of Danxia Mountain using Void Teleportation!


    ¡°Is this the future wielder of the Immortal Gate?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke out after Wen Ren Xuewei left.


    Master of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, a surefire Nascent Soul, and even the possibility of Divinity Transformation!


    At least all the Nascent Soul Superiors of the Immortal Gate now do not have as high a probability of Divinity Transformation as Wen Ren Xuewei!


    Therefore, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s reference to her as the future wielder of the Immortal Gate was not incorrect!

    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, sensed the faint sense of loss in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words and asked with some surprise.


    ¡°Nothing, just that it¡¯s my first time seeing a talent whose demeanor is not inferior to yours, and I felt a bit emotional about it!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, after all, at the time of our offline sparring, only she managed to fight to a draw with me relying on her Lasting Spring Cultivation,¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that Wen Ren Xuewei barely held her own against him, entirely missing the subtext in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words.


    All he was thinking about now was using the Enlightenment Tea to check the compatibility of the three major cultivation techniques with himself.

 Chapter 1142 - Chapter 1142 Chapter 629 Auspicious Blessing

    Chapter 1142: Chapter 629 Auspicious Blessing Chapter 1142: Chapter 629 Auspicious Blessing The Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea grafted by Wen Ren Xuewei, although only one-tenth as effective as the genuine article, was plentiful in quantity.


    She gave Chen Mobai all of the large jar she had accumulated over the years.


    Even though Wen Ren Xuewei said that drinking too much would diminish its effects, Chen Mobai was very clear-headed. Knowing Divine Consciousness Techniques were crucial to his future potential, he immediately brewed a large pot of it.


    Even if it was only a few minutes of Sage time, he couldn¡¯t afford to skimp at this moment.


    After sending Yan Bingxuan away, Chen Mobai sealed off the summit of Danxia Mountain, took his first sip, and entered the long-missed state of Enlightenment.


    In the state of Enlightenment, the mantras and insights of the Sun Golden Crow Method, the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, and the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram seemed to come to life within his mind.


    In the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Trees, into which his Divine Sense had split, were scattered about like a universe.


    A Great Sun slowly rose on the eastern side of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, casting a faint golden glow onto the lush leaves.


    From afar, it appeared as if a golden bird was fluttering and spreading its wings within the sun. The brilliance that spilled with every flap of its golden feathers was the sunlight that illuminated everything. The entire sky became exceptionally radiant with its ascent, and clusters of rosy light fell on the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Trees in the Sea of Knowledge, imbuing them with vibrant energy.


    It was the Sun!


    Watching the Great Sun Golden Crow dance gracefully upwards, Chen Mobai instantly understood all the profound essences of this Divine Consciousness Technique.


    This was not merely a technique of destruction but also one of creation and vitality!


    No wonder the Yuanyang Ancestor chose this to lay the foundation of his strength.


    After contemplating for a while and confirming his understanding of the Sun Golden Crow Method, Chen Mobai wasted no more of the Enlightenment Tea¡¯s effects. He allowed the golden bird on the horizon of the Purple Palace to soar and began to focus on another Divine Consciousness Technique!


    The Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique!


    In an instant, the sky seemed to darken. Chen Mobai saw the dancing sun on the horizon become enveloped by dark contours, which then started to close in slowly, obscuring the sun.


    Chen Mobai felt an unprecedented shock.


    The sun had not disappeared but was like an eye, its dark lids closing over it.


    This was the closing of the Candle Dragon¡¯s eyes!


    Eyes open for day, eyes closed for night.


    The once radiant dawn of Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, with sunlight shining everywhere, now plunged into night.


    In this darkness, Chen Mobai only felt an endless depth of tranquility and solitude. All the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Trees calmed down, no longer vibrant.


    It was as if a dominant presence, reigning over infinite power, was awakening in the darkness. The beings enshrouded by the night no longer owned their lives. One glance from this entity would turn everything to ash, falling into an eternal, silent slumber.


    This oppressive feeling, where life and death were not in one¡¯s control, was bone-chilling.


    But Chen Mobai still endured the various turbulences rising in his heart and mind and began to comprehend the obscurity of perpetual night¡­


    However, the more he gazed into the darkness, the more profound and vast it seemed.


    The night harbored endless mysteries, each exploration leading to new insights. These continual discoveries made Chen Mobai involuntarily immerse himself in them.


    He gradually became indulged, reveling in the revelations and secrets hidden within as he groped through the darkness time and again.


    It was like cultivating an abstruse technique whose complete truths were concealed in the night, revealing their characters only upon complete understanding.


    This puzzle-like sensation took Chen Mobai back to his childhood.


    Just as he picked up a few fragments in the dark, preparing to complete the entire puzzle in one go, a long and mellow bell chime suddenly resonated in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Ding!


    Ding!


    Ding!


    Amid the sound of the bell, Chen Mobai abruptly awoke from his indulgence in darkness.


    He had unwittingly become fascinated by the essence of the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique, as if a true Candle Dragon had entered the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and become the deity of this universe.


    Day and night followed its course, and its breath became the seasons¡¯ wind and rain!


    Chen Mobai could only worship this deity to ensure a harmonious climate, free of calamities and disasters.


    Fortunately, his Lifespan Artifact, the Morning Bell, sensed his uncontrollable heart and mind and activated automatically to awaken him, for with his Golden Core Realm¡¯s Spiritual Consciousness Realm, he might have remained lost in the night of the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique forever.


    At this moment, however, he also understood why items like the Soul Awakening Dao Pill and Enlightenment Tea, which aid in comprehension, were rarely circulated within the Immortal Gate.


    If one¡¯s own realm was insufficient and their will was weak, contemplating top-ranked techniques would easily result in becoming engulfed in the supreme Dao.

    The Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique was a part of the Six Dominions Scripture; Chen Mobai had nearly been overwhelmed by it upon direct contemplation.


    In comparison, Chen Mobai finally understood just how high the talent of Wen Ren Xuewei was!


    At the Foundation Building Realm, she had managed to cultivate the Lasting Spring Cultivation with Enlightenment Tea.


    And yet he was able to pressure her, reducing her to only being unbeatable. Looking back, it really seemed that resources can change one¡¯s fate!


    But in Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s eyes, it was Chen Mobai who was the most formidable. Relying solely on the robust vitality of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she could barely manage a draw!

 Chapter 1143 - Chapter 1143 Chapter 629 Auspicious Blessing_2

    Chapter 1143: Chapter 629: Auspicious Blessing_2 Chapter 1143: Chapter 629: Auspicious Blessing_2 So she considered Chen Mobai to be capable of directly comprehending the entire Liu Yu Scripture without any issues, and thus did not remind him of this.


    The deep and heavy tolling of the bell gradually lowered, signifying that Chen Mobai had regained autonomy.


    At that moment, with a single thought, the previously closed Eye of Candle Dragon opened once again.


    In that place, only he was the true deity; everything moved to his thoughts!


    A horizontal beam of light shone from the farthest edge of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the brightness expanding up and down, and the golden bird that soared with outstretched wings appeared once more.


    A boundless radiance poured forth, enveloping all darkness and thoroughly scattering it¨Cevery hidden mystery fell into Chen Mobai¡¯s view.


    He had no need to grope around in the dark for answers; as soon as the sun rose, everything would be laid bare before him, a bountiful harvest!


    However, after this lesson, Chen Mobai did not continue to contemplate the Candle Dragon Xianguang Technique.


    After reconfirming that the Morning Bell, his Lifespan Artifact, was in continuous operation, he began, with peace of mind, to contemplate the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.


    Even though the level of this Cultivation Technique was universally acknowledged to be inferior to the Liu Yu Scripture, Chen Mobai was always cautious.


    He carefully recalled the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram he had memorized in his heart.


    When the grand sun shone overhead and all things were reviving, a stream of rainbow light appeared in the western sky of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. A bird of unparalleled beauty with wings ablaze as if they were plumes of fire, stirring the eight winds and responding to seasonal rains, elegantly landed on the largest Azure Jadeite Sycamore in the center of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Afterward, various spiritual birds, each with their own unique posture, began to emerge upon other small sycamore trees around the Purple Mansion. They chirped and chattered as if playing a harmonious and wonderful symphony, flying towards the Phoenix God Bird at the highest tip of the central tree.


    A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix, and the Vermilion Phoenix facing the Sun!


    In this moment, Chen Mobai clearly felt the auspicious five-colored radiance of the Phoenix God Bird bless the Azure Jadeite Sycamore formed from his Divine Consciousness.


    With the help of the Enlightenment Tea, he understood that under the Phoenix¡¯s blessing, he was like an auspicious sign!


    When the timing is right, Heaven and Earth unite their forces!


    After mastering this Technique, he could actually ward off calamities and avoid disasters!


    From now on, although not every time Chen Mobai relied on luck would it burst forth splendidly, there would never be the worst outcome.


    For instance, in alchemy, with his current level of skill, there was a very real possibility of failure.


    But with the Auspicious Blessing of the Phoenix, his Elixirs, which had a fifty-fifty success rate, were guaranteed to be refined, but if there was only a ten or twenty percent chance to succeed, the Auspicious Blessing would not be effective.


    Moreover, it could make the good even better.


    For example, if he could normally refine six Elixirs per batch, with the Auspicious Blessing, it was possible to gain one or two additional Elixirs.


    After realizing this, the first thing Chen Mobai thought about was the Earth Veins Elixir!


    Every time you took it, it was a matter of luck as it increased the numerical value of the Earth Spirit Root.


    Chen Mobai had previously asked Ren Xuewei about this when drinking tea, and her luck wasn¡¯t bad, with nine Elixirs increasing her Earth Spirit Root by 32 points.


    This was ranked among the top three luckiest occurrences in the history of Jumang Academy.


    There were indeed some special methods of taking Earth Veins Elixirs, such as judging the quality of the Elixirs, sensing the vitality of the Elixirs, or seeking someone from the Antiquity Daoist System of Azure Feather Cliff to temporarily boost one¡¯s luck, and so on.


    If Chen Mobai had practiced the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram and his body was constantly under the blessing of the Phoenix¡¯s Auspiciousness, then when taking the Earth Veins Elixirs, he would at least have a guaranteed increase of 3 points for each Elixir.


    Moreover, his luck can only fluctuate upward, not downward, so there would definitely be several Elixirs that could exceed 3 points.


    If he combined this with the alchemy tips taught by Ren Xuewei, his nine Earth Veins Elixirs would certainly increase his Earth Spirit Root value by more than her 32 points.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai was already envisioning himself, after improving his Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, returning to Golden Cliff to contemplate the Primordial Stone!


    With Ren Xuewei¡¯s jar of Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea at hand, he didn¡¯t believe he couldn¡¯t comprehend it!


    This will be his practice!


    Having contemplated to this point, Chen Mobai, without any hesitation, settled on his Divine Consciousness Technique!


    Because apart from the Auspicious Blessing, each layer he mastered in the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram would further enhance other beneficial supportive states.


    ¡°`


    If he could cultivate to perfection and undergo Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai himself would be equivalent to an auspicious blessing, a phoenix among Phoenixes!


    At the top of Danxia Mountain, under the sky-obscuring Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and stretched lazily with a smile.


    He was about to light the Coagulating Spirit Incense he had prepared long ago, ready to transform the Divine Manipulation Technique into the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, but then he found a third of the pot of Enlightenment Tea he had brewed remained.


    He couldn¡¯t let it go to waste!


    He thought, should he use the remaining tea to understand the Sword Intent of Longevity, the External Incarnation, or maybe two other Grand Spells?


    But upon further consideration, he realized he didn¡¯t need to waste the precious Enlightenment Tea since he had the Great Dao Tree for these things.


    So he decided to upgrade his skills in alchemy, artifact refining, and talisman making!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to open his phone and go through all the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal materials he had downloaded, he suddenly noticed the Azure Jadeite Sycamore beside him!


    He remembered a Cultivation Technique that he had almost forgotten!


    The Devour God Technique!


    It wasn¡¯t that he wished to practice it; he was just curious to see what was so mysterious about this technique that it had ensnared a seasoned Golden Core Master like Yu Tianguang in its trap.


    After all, knowing both your enemy and yourself, you can fight without ever being defeated!


    Chen Mobai had slain the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, and he knew he would inevitably confront the bigwigs of the Ascension Sect¡¯s Evil Path. If he could understand the foundation of the Devour God Technique beforehand, he would be well prepared for the encounter!


    Maybe he could even figure out a way to counter the Devour God Technique and help Yu Tianguang out.


    After rationalizing the various reasons, Chen Mobai once again closed his eyes and entered tranquility.


    He started recalling the content of the Devour God Technique that Yu Tianguang had silently transcribed!


    Above the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, a tiny black piece emerged, starting only the size of a grain of rice, but as time passed.


    The black piece grew larger and larger, and the weathered sun and rain that neared it within a three-yard radius began to be devoured and absorbed.


    Gradually, the void also started to distort, and the black piece fully matured into a black hole the size of a fist.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s laissez-faire approach, the black hole expanded rapidly, devouring everything it could absorb.


    In the end, the sun in the sky also uncontrollably sank into the immense black hole.


    Even though he was in darkness, Chen Mobai still sensed the black hole¡¯s descent towards the earth, longing to devour this world into nothingness.


    Amid the sound of the Morning Bell, another sun rose on the horizon, illuminating the night.


    Then, with a mere thought from Chen Mobai, the enormous black hole that nearly swallowed the heavens and the earth, like illusory blue smoke, dispersed within his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Indeed, the Devour God Technique was terrifying beyond measure; if not destroyed in time before it fully matured, it would surely become an endless calamity in the future.


    However, the Devour God Technique transcribed by Yu Tianguang was clearly incomplete, so Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of this technique was not as profound as the previous three techniques.


    He then pondered the described Cultivation Method and found that as long as no God Seed had been implanted, then this Path of Heaven was simply a normal Divine Consciousness Technique and posed no problem.


    It was just unfortunate that there wasn¡¯t another Way of Humanity Cultivation Method to study, which is why the Devour God Technique was feared so much by the Immortal Gate and regarded as a Forbidden Technique.


    Having satisfied his curiosity, Chen Mobai exited the state of tranquility, picked up the teapot, and drained the remaining tea in one gulp.


    With this last sip of tea, he completely comprehended the alchemy recipes for both the Golden Crow Sundial Elixir and the Earth Veins Elixir.

    Just as he was preparing to study the Infant Nurturing Pill Recipe, his saint-like thoughtful state ebbed away like the tide.


    A sense of fatigue from deep within his soul, which he hadn¡¯t experienced in a long time, made him slightly dizzy!


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t resist the urge to rest, instead, he lit the Coagulating Spirit Incense he had prepared and leaned against the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, falling into a deep sleep.


    He had a dream, one he hadn¡¯t had in a long while; he dreamed he had become creatures like the Golden Crow, Candle Dragon, Phoenix, and other Divine Spirit Beasts, basking in the embrace of nature and enjoying the splendor of life.


    And in a gap in the sky, a black piece slowly formed¡­

 Chapter 1144 - Chapter 1144 Chapter 630 Primordial Yang Sword Secret (12800

    Chapter 1144: Chapter 630: Primordial Yang Sword Secret (12,800 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1144: Chapter 630: Primordial Yang Sword Secret (12,800 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had already been stationed in Red Sandstone City for a year.


    Each day, he would dine on wind and drink the dew on the mountaintop, drawing in the pure spiritual energy from the local fire vein to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, making rapid progress.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that today, he suddenly felt the speed at which he was refining the spiritual energy had slowed down and realized that the power of the ¡°Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill¡± within him was about to be exhausted, he might have forgotten that he was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Before returning, he went down the mountain to find Yan Bingxuan.


    Her Evil Qi Energy Company had already set up its basic team structure, with a total of thirteen people, divided into two groups, one responsible for the Green Wood Evil and the other for synthesizing the Fire Yang Evil.


    The decision to choose Fire Yang Evil was made because the fire vein in Red Sandstone City was powerful, so Chai Lun had first created a puppet infused with fire essence.


    And nominally, Chen Mobai had also cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, which he needed as a cover.


    However, his Yellow Skin Gourd also needed an upgrade, for while the Primordial Yang Sword Evil could mow down Foundation Establishment ranks without peer, most of Chen Mobai¡¯s upcoming opponents would be Golden Core Cultivators, and at the very least, it needed to be upgraded to Rank-3.


    It was just unfortunate that the Dance Tool Dao Academy didn¡¯t possess the complete Primordial Yang Sword Secret, so Chen Mobai had to spend a billion points to download it from the Immortal Gate library.


    This points balance was exactly what he had left after his last purchase of the Void Blind Box, and without any hesitation, he immediately exchanged for this second sword technique of the Immortal Gate.


    The Primordial Yang Sword Secret was naturally profound and extensive, but the core of the entire discussion was very familiar to Chen Mobai, the other peak extreme of the Sword Dao¡­ ¡°One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws!¡±


    After Chen Mobai reviewed it, he decided to extract its essence, ignoring the various exquisite and unusual moves and Divine Skills recorded in the sword secret, and only learn the most crucial¨CPrimordial Yang Sword Evil.


    As long as he could cultivate this dazzling orange light to perfection, then the Yellow Skin Gourd in his hand was destined to become a terrifying weapon that would strike fear into all beings.


    But this was a long road ahead, and first and foremost, he needed a higher grade of Fire Yang Evil!


    Some time ago, Chen Mobai had already asked the Divine Wood Sect to search for Fire Yang Evil of Rank-3 and above on the vast lands of the Eastern Wilderness, offering a reward of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    Under heavy rewards, there must be clues, but the highest grade they found was only of upper Rank-2 Fire Yang Evil.


    However, his posted reward had always been displayed at the very top of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, motivating countless cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect and its seven subordinate nations.


    Chen Mobai, while hopeful, was not in a hurry.


    Because within the Immortal Gate, there were Fire Yang Evil of Rank-4 and even Rank-5.


    Right at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he attended, in the deepest part of the Spiritual Vein Core of the Treasure Trove.


    But within the Immortal Gate, spiritual objects of Rank-4 and above were not allowed to be traded, and only after being promoted to Nascent Soul could one qualify to take several of them.


    Yet Chen Mobai already regarded it as his own.


    As long as he could achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he estimated that the entire Dance Tool Dao Academy would be his, let alone the Fire Yang Evil.


    It was also because of this confidence that he had always kept the Yellow Skin Gourd by his side and not given it to his disciples.


    In the past, it was with the help of the Red City Mountain Spirit Vein that the Yuanyang Ancestor truly perfected the Primordial Yang Sword Evil to completion.


    The Pure Yang Academy was established in Red City Cave Heaven for this reason as well.


    Red Sandstone City was also a land with a fire vein, and in the past, there was a natural Fire Yang Sha Cave that produced Rank-3 evil Qi, but it collapsed a thousand years ago when the Biyu Wutong advanced to Rank-4.


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s company had not only artificially synthesized Fire Yang Evil but also located the ruins of the collapsed cave and prepared to restore it.


    If they could continuously obtain natural Fire Yang Evil, then this new company would definitely be able to stand firm in the energy market of the Immortal Gate.


    And Chen Mobai would be able to use this as a cover so that even if he exposed a more powerful Primordial Yang Sword Evil within the Immortal Gate in the future, it would not attract undue attention.


    The name of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s company, registered as ¡°Mysterious Frost,¡± was chosen by her.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, she was wearing a research-specific white lab coat and a pair of glasses with various observation and analysis functions, focusing on the strands of colorful light that floated suspended in the lab.


    On her beautiful features was a seriousness that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    With every interaction and reaction of the Five Elements Essence, she directed the researchers to operate different instruments, adjusting the ratio and quantity of the evil Qi synthesis.


    The entire experiment lasted nearly half an hour, and ultimately, the colorful light strands merged into a dark red stream of air suspended in mid-air, resembling a red thread floating on water, somewhat ephemeral and unreal.


    The successful synthesis of this strand of Fire Yang Evil made everyone in the lab burst into applause and cheer.


    Only Yan Bing Xuan, who simply let out a sigh of relief, remained as cold and stunning as always.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard!¡±


    A gentle voice rang out from behind, causing Yan Bing Xuan to turn around in surprise, her full concentration on the experiment having prevented her from noticing someone else had joined.


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s gentle smile, the coldness on her face slightly melted away, and the corners of her mouth curved into a faint arc.


    Side by side, the two left the laboratory.


    ¡°Why have you come?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve had some insights in my cultivation and am preparing for a retreat, which might be for a long while. I couldn¡¯t help but come see you first.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words completely dissolved the reserve on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s face, and her usuallly cool demeanor softened abruptly.


    But this was greatly at odds with her normal disposition. She couldn¡¯t help but lift her slender hands to cover the corner of her mouth, although the smile just couldn¡¯t be hidden. It bloomed like a flower, breathtaking in an instant.


    ¡°Come sit in my office.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan suggested, realizing there wasn¡¯t much to see here in the suburbs.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take a walk in the paulownia forest near Red Dawn Institution instead,¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, shook his head and suggested another location. Mainly because after he arrived, almost everyone from Mysterious Frost Company had come over, eager to catch a glimpse of the rarely seen Golden Core Master.


    He didn¡¯t like being surrounded by people.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go grab something, just wait for me at the entrance,¡± she said.


    Although her simple white shirt could not conceal Yan Bingxuan¡¯s proud figure, she thought it would be better to change into another outfit since she was going out with Chen Mobai.


    But she indeed had something to give to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Here are three strands of Rank-2 Green Wood Evil.¡±


    At the entrance of Mysterious Frost, now dressed differently, Yan Bingxuan handed Chen Mobai a well-wrapped transparent box. It was the result of a year¡¯s research by another team, but Chen Mobai shook his head and did not take any of it.


    ¡°The company is still operating at a loss; you should keep these and make them into Spiritual Liquid that can be circulated in the market. That way, you¡¯ll have less financial pressure.¡±


    In the market of Immortal Gates, some high-power equipment and magic artifacts require the addition of Spiritual Liquid or Spirit Stones to operate.


    Given the strict control over Spirit Stones, Spiritual Liquid has become the most widely traded energy source for the general public.


    Since Earthly Fiendish Qi is essentially a higher grade of Spiritual Energy and an essence of heaven and earth, bearing an energy content dozens of times that of ordinary Spiritual Energy, it can substitute for Spirit Stones after being diluted with a special liquid.


    Moreover, many special devices in Immortal Gates require matching attribute energies to activate, and these devices will source tailored Killing Qi Essence Liquid from specific energy companies.


    Mysterious Frost Energy Company is now positioned in this market niche.


    After all, with Chen Mobai around, companies in Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City that have such needs would prioritize them.


    In the market of the Immortal Gates, the price of Rank-1 Killing Qi Essence Liquid is about ten thousand Good Deed Points per liter, while Rank-2 has reached several hundred thousand, and the price keeps going up with customized demands.


    Generally, one strand of Earthly Fiendish Qi can be diluted into about ten liters of Spiritual Liquid. This can fluctuate due to equipment and technological quality, but generally not by more than 10%.


    If sold as Spiritual Liquid, these three strands of Green Wood Evil could at least bring in four to five million Good Deed Points in revenue for Mysterious Frost Company.


    After deducting wages, equipment depreciation, bank interests, etc., there should be a profit of about a million Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai could get a share of 500,000. This amount, to him, was negligible, but it might give Yan Bingxuan, who had invested her life savings, some breathing space.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Bingxuan looked down and offered a soft thanks before she put away the Green Wood Evil she was holding.


    ¡°Why should we still be so formal with each other? Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve heard that the paulownia forest at dusk is incredibly beautiful.¡±


    With a slight smile, Chen Mobai led the way. They did not employ any Escape Skills but walked like ordinary people through the nature surrounding the city. Although their conversation was sparse, they enjoyed a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.


    Yan Bingxuan changed into a color-blocked, slightly loose camisole sweater. The soft fabric at the chest was pushed up high, creating a prominent and erect profile. However, Chen Mobai immediately noticed that she had made some adjustments; this curvature was not her true level.


    The grass was green like a carpet, and the breeze brought fresh scents as it rustled through, sending Yan Bingxuan¡¯s hair wafting gently. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but glance at her, only to be drawn to the fair skin revealed.


    Her snow-white and full shoulders shone even brighter against the backdrop of the black straps, and the delicate collarbone lines made one¡¯s gaze inadvertently wander downward, where the off-white material seemed to gleam like frost competing with snow.


    At this moment, Yan Bingxuan also looked over, her face lit with a bright and radiant smile she reserved only for Chen Mobai.

    Only when facing Chen Mobai would she remove her mask of coldness.


    With the ice melted, she appeared more approachable, with a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth and bright, gentle eyes. She exuded charm and allure from the inside out. As they walked across the grass, Chen Mobai felt as if a pleasant breeze was gracing his face, and all he felt was joy!


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived!¡±


    Before they knew it, they had reached the paulownia forest, and under the glow of the setting sun, the scene was indeed stunning.


    But in their eyes, the most beautiful scenery at that moment was each other!

 Chapter 1145 - Chapter 1145 Chapter 631 Luo Yixuan Achieves Core Formation

    Chapter 1145: Chapter 631 Luo Yixuan Achieves Core Formation (13,600 Monthly Votes Plus Update) Chapter 1145: Chapter 631 Luo Yixuan Achieves Core Formation (13,600 Monthly Votes Plus Update) After spending a wonderful evening with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai went back to the Divine Wood Sect.


    First, he summoned Zeng Woyou to inquire about the progress in collecting materials for the Golden Crow Sun Carrying Elixir, and he received good news.


    Chu Zuoshu was particularly effective this time, managing to use connections to buy the two most crucial main medicines, Fire Dragon Tree Ganoderma and Black Crow Golden Feather, through an Outer Sect Elder at the Sun Bathing Sea.


    Moreover, this time he was smarter. After acquiring the items, he didn¡¯t try to deliver them personally but handed them over to the Starry Sky Commerce Guild for shipment.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, a favor like this was definitely something the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would help with. As the dominant force in East Yu, they wouldn¡¯t tarnish their reputation over a couple of third-rank spiritual objects.


    However, due to the long distance, it would still take about a month for the items to be delivered to the Divine Wood Sect.


    As for the auxiliary medicines, Zeng Woyou had already collected them some time ago.


    After all, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s matter, and no one dared to neglect it.


    ¡°Sect Leader, let me say the unpleasant part first. When I refine a new third-rank elixir, I usually fail a few times to get the hang of it. But don¡¯t worry, this time I have fully comprehended the alchemy recipe. I should only fail twice at most before successfully producing a batch that meets the standards,¡± Zeng Woyou said.


    Previously, Zeng Woyou had failed for a long time when refining Longevity Dew, wasting a lot of resources, and faced considerable pressure at every sect convention. So, before attempting to refine the Golden Crow Sun Carrying Elixir, he was trying to lower his own pressure.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve invited an Alchemy Master this time, so you won¡¯t have to go through the trouble,¡± Chen Mobai assured him.


    However, Chen Mobai was planning to personally take on the task, having already comprehended the elixir recipe through the Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Are you planning to ask Master Yan for help, Sect Leader?¡± Zeng Woyou was slightly surprised upon hearing this. In the Eastern Wilderness, when it came to the art of alchemy, he admitted that only Yan Shaoyin was his better.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask about things you shouldn¡¯t. Just give me the medicinal ingredients,¡± Chen Mobai deflected, starting to play coy. Zeng Woyou nodded and then returned to the Alchemy Department to pack the auxiliary drugs for the Golden Crow Sun Carrying Elixir into a storage bag.


    After obtaining the auxiliary drugs, Chen Mobai cautiously took each one out for inspection.


    It had to be said that the entire Divine Wood Sect treated his affairs as top priority, as the quality of these auxiliary medicines were all top-notch. If brought to the doors of an Immortal Gate, they would at least be considered superior quality.


    Nevertheless, the spirit stones spent were substantial, as this storage bag cost about fifty thousand.


    But the most expensive items were the two third-rank main drugs. Including the cost of leveraging relationships, Chu Zuoshu spent eighty thousand.


    Thus, the material cost for this batch of elixir was already one hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones.


    If the refinement failed, it could bankrupt a small sect.


    Even for a Golden Core Cultivator, a failure would be painfully expensive.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t refine the Golden Crow Sun Carrying Elixir within the Divine Wood Sect. He visited the Immortal Gate once more and booked the best workshop at the Red Dawn Institution.


    This was a space previously unexposed, personally carved out by the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, and it drew upon the qi of a fourth-level Fire Vein. It could be used for both alchemy and artifact refining.


    Even situated within a city in Heaven Valley, it would still be top-notch.


    As the Golden Core Master presiding over Red Sandstone City, if Chen Mobai needed to use this fourth-level Fire Vein workshop, he would certainly be given priority.


    After preparing all external conditions necessary for alchemy, all that was left were the two main drugs.


    Chen Mobai estimated that the effect of the Golden Crow Sun Carrying Elixir inside his body would last about half a month more. He was considering whether to head towards the Eastern Desolation Plateau before setting off, then enter the Ruins and meet up with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild¡¯s people from both directions, aiming to get the medicinal materials as quickly as possible.


    But another matter interrupted his plans.


    ¡°Saint Heir, we have completed our coordination and are ready for Core Formation at any time!¡± said Luo Yixuan, dressed in palace attire and snow-white skin, respectfully addressing Chen Mobai.


    After a year of acclimating herself as a host, Elder Ming now believed herself to have a seventy to eighty percent chance of solidifying a Ghost Pill.


    With her wholehearted guidance, Luo Yixuan had also mastered her External Incarnation, and the two of them had recently achieved synergy.


    Chen Mobai asked her to demonstrate, and suddenly, in the clear daylight of Xiao Nanshan, a sinister and cold Yin aura appeared, but behind Luo Yixuan a shining holy silver-white Bai Guang burst forth, casting an image of a woman three to four meters tall with the waist size of a palm, extraordinarily disproportionate in width to height. Paired with the holy silver-white light, it created a bizarre and eerily attractive presence.


    At that moment, a strong scent of Peach Wood quickly intensified, and the elongated shadow behind Luo Yixuan suddenly flickered, finally retracting back into the shadow at her feet.


    ¡°Master, ever since I began practicing my External Incarnation, I have moved the Peach Wood Warding Off Evil back to my place in Miao Mountain,¡± Luo Yixuan said, retracting Elder Ming¡¯s projection, with a slightly pitiful look in her eyes as she spoke to Chen Mobai.


    The Immortal Peach Tree of Rank-3 Superior Grade atop Xiao Nanshan, if it were to condense into a Ghost Pill, she naturally wouldn¡¯t be afraid, but now, after actively integrating the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, and being just at the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, living here every day became very uncomfortable.


    ¡°Haha, wait a little while, and as your mentor, I will transform this Immortal Peach Tree into Rank-4, making you even more afraid!¡±


    Seeing her like this, Chen Mobai teased her instead, causing Luo Yixuan¡¯s cheeks to puff up slightly in response.


    At that moment, a tuft of earthy yellow Spiritual Light flew up from below the mountain. It was Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°I will take Xuan to the Yellow Springs for Core Formation, keep an eye on the house!¡±


    Chen Mobai left Zhuo Ming with these instructions; upon hearing this, her pupils shook, knowing that this day would come, but the thought of Luo Yixuan truly becoming a peak-level Golden Core Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness was still very shocking.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    It took a while for Zhuo Ming to recover her wits, and she saluted Chen Mobai respectfully.


    For a successful Ghost Pill condensation, it is best to be in the Yellow Springs Path, where one can constantly replenish the cold yin Spiritual Energy and also avoid the Heavenly Tribulation of the living world, something Elder Ming had told Chen Mobai long ago.


    When Chen Mobai left with Luo Yixuan, he naturally informed Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Both were aware that it was for the elevation of the Soul Nourishing Wood, but they also reminded him that if he encountered any misfortune in the Yellow Springs, he must prioritize his own life above all.


    Soon after, news of Sect Master Chen¡¯s departure from Giant Tree Ridge began to circulate within a small scope.


    Officially, it was said that he was out visiting friends.


    However, some well-informed people knew that the Sect Leader had gone to Back to Sky Valley.


    Yan Shaoyin, who received the news from certain channels, especially put aside the Elixir he was refining, sealed the furnace ahead of time, and made himself available while eagerly anticipating.


    But to his surprise, half a month passed without Chen Mobai showing up to visit.


    Because of this, Yan Shaoyin couldn¡¯t blame Chen Mobai, but he cursed the person who shared the false news with him for deceiving him.


    Just when Yan Shaoyin was about to reignite the furnace for the Elixir he had sealed, a disciple suddenly came to report.


    Chen, the Sect Master of Divine Wood Sect, had arrived.


    Yan Shaoyin was naturally overjoyed. He had contemplated the Alchemy Recipes from the three parts of the Elixir Scripture for a long time and had new insights and questions, hoping to consult with Chen Mobai, the Holy Heir of the Longevity Sect.


    But it wasn¡¯t proper for him to visit Giant Tree Ridge, so he was very happy to hear that Chen Mobai would be coming.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, what a rare guest¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Yan Shaoyin coming over with a smile on his face, responded with a smile of his own. As two peak Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness communicated, all Rank-3 Alchemists from Back to Sky Valley gathered around.


    These were disciples who received Yan Shaoyin¡¯s true teachings. They also heard from their own master that this Sect Master Chen¡¯s Alchemy prowess was quite extraordinary.


    Listening to the exchange between the two, they indeed benefited greatly.


    The Immortal Gate-related thoughts that Chen Mobai casually shared, with standardized language, regulations, and criteria, made them feel as if they were listening to the true essence of Longevity Sect¡¯s alchemy legacy, and they caught a glimpse of the alchemy grandeur of ancient Immortal Cultivation.


    After three days of exchange, as Chen Mobai was about to take his leave, Yan Shaoyin warmly insisted on him staying, even bringing out his treasured Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice and Green Charm Spiritual Tea to entertain him every day.


    Chen Mobai had his own agenda and pretended to reluctantly agree to stay, thus remaining another three days.


    After another three days, and then until half a month later, when Yan Shaoyin, feeling he had resolved all his doubts and achieved great gains, was prepared to demonstrate the refining of a Return to True Elixir on the spot, Chen Mobai used the excuse of not wanting to pry into Back to Sky Valley¡¯s alchemy methods to take his leave.


    In response, Yan Shaoyin personally escorted him out of Summer Country.


    [I wonder how Xuan¡¯s Core Formation is coming along?]


    Watching the retreating figure of Yan Shaoyin, just as he flew over the border, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ponder this question in his heart.


    The gap between the realms of Yin and Yang under Elder Ming¡¯s control was within Ming Nation¡¯s boundaries, and although Chen Mobai was confident that he could quietly bring Luo Yixuan into it, he thought it better to be safe and let his Formless Puppet take her instead.


    After all, in the Underworld, no one could be certain of the unforeseen circumstances they might encounter.

    If, during the Ghost Pill condensation, they were unlucky enough to come across a wandering Rank-4 Ghost King, even with his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure he could face such an existence directly.


    Meanwhile, his true self went straight to Back to Sky Valley to interact with Yan Shaoyin, drawing the attention of all the interested parties.


    A month ago, the Formless Puppet had already taken Luo Yixuan into the Yellow Springs Path.


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want to visit Ming Nation with his true body, to avoid alerting Zhou Ye and potentially sparking a conflict.


    He thought for a moment, realizing that the two transplanted Green Chan Tea Trees were nearby, and wondered how the collection of Qi of Dragon Vein was going. He decided to go check on Dragon Horn Trench first.

 Chapter 1146 - Chapter 1146 632

    Chapter 1146: 632 Chapter 1146: 632 In Dragon Horn Trench, General Song Huang extracted a strand of thick and substantial bright yellow dragon Qi from deep within the earth. With a solemn face, he inserted it into the Spirit Sealing Tube, then adroitly affixed the Spirit Sealing Talisman, and slightly relaxed with a sigh of relief.


    This Qi of the Dragon Vein was robust and dense. Had his skills not reached Rank-2 above that of an Earth Master, it would not have been so easy to extract it.


    He wondered what old devil Chen of the Divine Wood Sect intended to do with this Qi of the Dragon Vein?


    Although Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming had said it was to irrigate the Green Chan Tea Tree in Xiao Nanshan by transferring the Qi of the Dragon Vein from Dragon Horn Trench, Song Huang, with the top Earth Master Heritage in the Eastern Wilderness, knew it was almost impossible.


    Qi of the Dragon Vein is extremely special; generally speaking, once extracted, it would continually dissipate.


    This Spirit Sealing Tube could preserve it, most likely a technique from the Ancient Longevity Sect.


    But even if it were preserved in this way and taken to Xiao Nanshan, once the seal was lifted and the Qi of the Dragon Vein channeled out, the Green Charm Spiritual Tree would at most absorb one percent of it, with the rest dissipating into the earth and the void.


    In the course of a year working on this task, Song Huang even sought confirmation from a superior in the Restoration Society.


    However, even though he knew this, he could still only extract the Qi of the Dragon Vein day after day.


    Liu Wenbo said he could extract one strand every three months, but in fact, Song Huang needed only two months.


    Nevertheless, in order to avoid surprise inspections from the people of Xiao Nanshan, Song Huang still extracted the Qi of the Dragon Vein daily, ensuring his progress would not arouse suspicion.


    With his outstanding Earth Master skills, Song Huang was able to find time to cultivate after completing his tasks each day.


    To avoid attracting unwanted attention, during his time at the Longevity Academy, he suppressed his cultivation progress, barely reaching the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation upon graduation.


    After joining the Divine Wood Sect for a year, he had consolidated the Seventh Layer. He was then assigned to Dragon Horn Trench.


    Although the environment was not good, it was at least a Rank-3 Spiritual Vein land.


    Since he could not show any progress in his cultivation level, he chose a powerful Body Refining Technique during his spare time after refining the Qi of the Dragon Vein, instead of cultivating Spiritual Power.


    He lazily walked under the Green Chan Tea Tree and sat down cross-legged. He took a silver-gray ore from his Storage Bag and, grasping it with both hands, began to draw the Power of Void into his body.


    Truth be told, Song Huang was starting to enjoy this kind of life.


    After completing his tasks each day, he would slack off and cultivate his techniques. He would receive a reward of one hundred Spirit Stones each year, and under the Formation personally arranged by old devil Chen, he did not have to worry about safety, allowing his always tensed mind to relax like never before.


    If possible, he hoped this tranquil life could continue for a few more years.


    Time passed, and the ore that Song Huang held in his hands dimmed slightly in color, but his skin emitted a faint silver luster, like an electric current flowing through every part of his body before retreating into the Dantian Qi Sea.


    He exhaled deeply and, feeling his physical strength increase again, opened his eyes with satisfaction. Just as he was about to stow away the not completely spent ore into his Storage Bag, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief at the person standing before him.


    ¡°You¡¯re cultivating the Void Law Body?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the slightly plump disciple of the Divine Wood Sect in front of him with some surprise. He pointed at the Void Stone in his hand and a playful smile flashed across his lips.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    At that moment, Song Huang¡¯s mind completely blanked out. Besides bowing down, he could think of nothing else.


    ¡°Stand up, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Chen Mobai could have never imagined that a spontaneous visit to Dragon Horn Trench to check on the refinement of the Qi of the Dragon Vein would lead to the discovery of such an interesting person hidden within the Divine Wood Sect.


    Was it because of the Auspicious Blessing he received after practicing the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun?


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, this disciple¡¯s name is¡­¡±


    After rising to his feet, Song Huang did not dare to conceal anything and recounted his origins from beginning to end, from his start at the Longevity Academy to taking on the task at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and ultimately being sent by Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming to Dragon Horn Trench, diligently extracting the Qi of the Dragon Vein every day.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my first question yet.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai suddenly smiled and spoke again. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to form on Song Huang¡¯s brow.


    He had never expected that the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect would come to a remote place like Dragon Horn Trench for an inspection.


    It was also his fault for getting too comfortable this past year, completely losing his vigilance.

    He had been caught red-handed.


    But Song Huang felt very wronged in his heart. With a Rank-3 Formation at Dragon Horn Trench, even the top Golden Core Cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness would need to cause a significant disturbance to break through.


    Even if Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming wanted to come in, they would have to use tokens to activate the Formation.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Chen Mobai, the arranger of the Formation, could enter unnoticed, leaving Song Huang, who held the core of the Formation, with no sense of his presence.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, this Void Law Body is a technique I exchanged for when choosing Cultivation Techniques in the Book Pavilion. I grew up in Rock Country and, though my talent was mediocre, I still dreamed of roaming the azure skies and burrowing into the earth. When I saw this book, recalling it was the foremost Body Forging Technique of the Eastern Wilderness capable of Void Shifting, I couldn¡¯t help but choose it.¡±

 Chapter 1147 - Chapter 1147 Chapter 632 Caught on the Spot_2

    Chapter 1147: Chapter 632: Caught on the Spot_2 Chapter 1147: Chapter 632: Caught on the Spot_2 ¡°`


    In the moment of crisis, a flash of spiritual light went through Song Huangdae¡¯s mind, and he finally thought of a reason and an excuse.


    He did not know if the Book Pavilion contained the Void Law Body, but he did know that after Elder Chen had breached Mountain Shaker Peak, he had once sought information on the Void Law Body from cultivator families in Rock Country.


    Thus, he guessed that Divine Wood Sect must have obtained this body refining technique. Logically, it should have been placed in the Book Pavilion so that all sect disciples could select and cultivate it.


    After finishing his explanation, Song Huangdae waited for Chen Mobai¡¯s judgment. Facing a Golden Core Cultivator, he certainly had no power to retaliate; he could only hope his guess was not wrong.


    As time went on, the prolonged silence made Song Huangdae¡¯s heart grow heavier. Just when he thought he was about to die, Chen Mobai finally spoke.


    ¡°Hmm, I personally placed the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Void Law Body into the Book Pavilion.¡±


    Although these words were spoken lightly, they sounded like heavenly music to Song Huangdae. He let out a sigh of relief but still kept his head low, not daring to meet the gaze of the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s greatest evil force, afraid that Chen Mobai might notice any flaws.


    ¡°But I did not include the key to cultivating the Void Law Body with the Void Stone in the record. How did you come to know this?¡±


    Song Huangdae had only relaxed halfway when Chen Mobai¡¯s second sentence choked him up again.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, I saw it on a book at a stall in Northern Abyss City. My favorite thing is to read such messy books, and my classmate Han Zhiling is most aware of my habit.¡±


    Song Huangdae could only continue to fabricate. To gain Chen Mobai¡¯s trust, he had to bring Han Zhiling into this, hoping the name of the top graduate would add a degree of credibility.


    ¡°Which book was it?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Song Huangdae who kept his head down, not daring to raise it. Chen¡¯s smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider, and although his tone was gentle, his eyes became sharper.


    ¡°I think it was ¡®Stone Naming Guide¡¯. It¡¯s been a while, and it mentioned that Void Stones contain the Power of Void, which can aid in cultivating spatial techniques and divine skills. When I first joined the sect, I saw the Void Law Body in the Book Pavilion, and I wondered if I could cultivate it using this method. I tried it, and to my surprise, I actually succeeded¡­¡±


    As the web of lies grew, Song Huangdae became calm. His tone became smoother, as if this had indeed happened.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong and I said before that if anyone in the sect managed to cultivate the Void Law Body, we would pass down the subsequent chapters as well. If they possessed exceptional talent, they might even be taken in as disciples.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke again, his tone still gentle. Upon hearing this, Song Huangdae bit his teeth and steeled his heart, preparing to prostrate himself before his arch-enemy.


    ¡°Rise. To become my disciple now, at the very least, you must be at the Foundation Building Realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai flatly released a surge of spiritual power, stopping Song Huangdae¡¯s attempt at worship.


    ¡°Yes, yes, Sect Leader. I was overambitious¡­¡±


    After getting back to his feet, Song Huangdae smiled awkwardly at Chen Mobai but breathed a huge sigh of relief inside, feeling that he had just managed to get through this ordeal.


    As for verifying his words later when Chen Mobai returned to the sect and checked the Book Pavilion, Song Huangdae couldn¡¯t care less about that now.


    After all, he had decided that once he fooled Chen Mobai into leaving, he would dig up Green Dance, pack up, and flee, never to return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°There¡¯s one last question.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai smiled and spoke again. Song Huangdae¡¯s mind raced, thinking about how to lie next.


    ¡°When I put the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Void Law Body into the Book Pavilion, I deliberately changed its name to Void Spirit Body.¡±


    With these words from Chen Mobai, Song Huangdae immediately turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.


    ¡°Elder, please spare my life. I¡¯ll tell you everything¡­¡±


    The threat of death caused Song Huangdae¡¯s defenses to completely break down. All thoughts of vengeance, the Restoration Society, and such were thrown out of his mind.


    He kept kowtowing to Chen Mobai, only wishing to save his own life.


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised by the truth Song Huangdae confessed.


    He was actually the remnant of Mountain Shaker Peak. His father, Song Xishun, was once a nominal disciple of one of the nine former Peak Masters, Ji Yunshi, but he offended a member of the Ji family and was expelled from his sect by Ji Dingjin under a pretext, becoming a Loose Cultivator.


    However, Song Xishun always regarded himself as a disciple of Mountain Shaker Peak in his heart, bearing the lineage of Mountain Shaker teachers and students before Ji Zhenshi.


    Because of this, he survived the great purge by Divine Wood Sect after they annihilated Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Afterwards, Song Xishun helped many enemies of Divine Wood Sect. One of the former disciples from Mountain Shaker Peak recognized him and invited him to join an organization called the Restoration Society.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The organization was vast; within it, Song Xishun was partnered with a Loose Cultivator as a Dao Companion. They had Song Huangdae, and then on a mission, they never returned.


    The young Song Huangdae was told his father had been killed by King Zhou, the Town Guard of Sky Country, while carrying out a revenge mission against Divine Wood Sect.


    He naturally harbored this grudge against Divine Wood Sect and, under the organization¡¯s arrangements, came to Northern Abyss City with his mother to make a living. Later, he even managed to join the Longevity Academy and gradually entered Divine Wood Sect.


    But his plan for revenge had just begun when he was caught red-handed by the leader of Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 1148 - Chapter 1148 Chapter 632 Caught on the Spot_3

    Chapter 1148: Chapter 632: Caught on the Spot_3 Chapter 1148: Chapter 632: Caught on the Spot_3 ¡°`


    ¡°Within the Restoration Society, what is the highest realm attained by a cultivator?¡±


    Chen Mobai cared only about this.


    ¡°I have only seen Foundation Establishment Practitioners, but to strengthen our beliefs, they say the Leader is a Golden Core Cultivator. Although I¡¯ve never met one, I also believe it should be true.¡±


    Song Huangdae answered truthfully; after all, if there was no cultivator of the Golden Core Realm to preside, which Foundation Establishment would dare to oppose the Divine Wood Sect?


    Even the remnants of Shake Mountain Peak, after being exterminated, didn¡¯t they all flee to the lands of the East Barbarians, living in constant trepidation?


    But now it seems these people may have all moved into the shadows, returning to the Eastern Wilderness to oppose the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance to survive, do you want it?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke calmly, and Song Huangdae immediately nodded vigorously.


    ¡°Pretend you never saw me today, continue to stay undercover within the sect. In a couple of years, you can quit this task, then strive to practice diligently within the Sect. Show the Restoration Society you wish to become a chosen disciple, to obtain the Foundation Building Pill. They will certainly be glad to plant a foothold within the Divine Wood Sect, so they will go out of their way to support you¡­¡±


    Listening to what Chen Mobai said, Song Huangdae¡¯s eyes showed surprise and doubt, but under the pressure of a Golden Core Cultivator, he gritted his teeth and swore a Dao Heart Oath, agreeing to do everything as Sect Master Chen dictated.


    Once Chen Mobai heard about the Restoration Society, he knew it was an enemy organization of the Divine Wood Sect. There might even be more than just the remnants of Shake Mountain Peak lurking behind; other major forces of the Eastern Wilderness could be hidden. Since there was such a venomous snake in the shadows, naturally, he needed to find a way to kill it.


    To strike a snake, one must hit its vitals, to kill an enemy, you must behead them!


    As Song Huangdae¡¯s status within the Divine Wood Sect rose steadily, he would also be able to reach higher levels of cultivators within the Restoration Society.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai suspected that there were other undercover agents within the Divine Wood Sect; this was a good opportunity to lure them out as well.


    ¡°Your most important task is to help me locate the Leader of the Restoration Society. Once I have killed him, no one will know the role you¡¯ve played. Then you shall truly be our Sect¡¯s meritorious disciple. In addition to the teachings of the chosen disciples, I will reward you with a Foundation Building Pill in secret.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    After ensuring that Song Huangdae had given a full account, Chen Mobai smiled and left Dragon Horn Trench.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master, I ask for your punishment.¡±


    Standing by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, at the heart of the scenic Flying Dragon Pool island, Liu Wenbo wore a face filled with shame. Watching them from a distance, Han Zhiling, who was cooking rice, was utterly bewildered.


    The conversation between the master and disciple was shielded by a Restriction; she could hear nothing.


    ¡°It is not your fault, from now on, just act as if you are unaware of anything, and normally collect the Qi of Dragon Vein as usual.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally would not always pay attention to a character like Song Huangdae. He had called his senior disciple to take over the contact from now on.


    Liu Wenbo, realizing he had actually chosen an undercover agent, was so enraged by his own composure that he wanted to storm to Dragon Horn Trench then and there.


    ¡°Master, leave it to me, I will definitely keep a tight watch on him¡­¡±


    Just as Liu Wenbo was about to make a solemn promise in front of Chen Mobai, a powerful surge of Spiritual Machine came from the distant sky.


    The entire Flying Dragon Pool began to tremble violently at that moment, and all the water started to ascend towards the sky.


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression shifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.


    Liu Wenbo was initially shocked, then his pupils widened as if he had realized something, and his lips trembled slightly.


    In the ripple of the water, a palace-dressed fairy with skin as white as snow and breathtaking beauty smiled as she flew from the edge of the sky.


    Her eyes were as clear as lake water, and her lips curled up with an undeniable pride. She landed on the surface of the lake, harnessing the clear water to form a tide, escorting herself toward the island.


    ¡°Who is this Nascent Soul Ancestor? Is it True Person Kong of the Snow-blowing Palace?¡±


    Feeling the vast Spiritual Power emanating from the elegant and pure fairy, as well as the terrifying spectacle of controlling the entire Flying Dragon Pool¡¯s water, Han Zhiling couldn¡¯t help but speculate internally.


    She had a good relationship with her teacher, Ding Ying, at the Longevity Academy and had felt the Spiritual Machine of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    But it was nothing compared to a tenth of what the palace-dressed fairy had.


    However, as Han Zhiling watched the Golden Core female cultivator maneuvering the water towards them, there wasn¡¯t a hint of worry on her face because not far behind her stood the leader of her sect!


    Eastern Wilderness¡¯s number one Sword Cultivator!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Perhaps, she might witness a clash between Golden Core Cultivators today!


    While Han Zhiling was thinking this, the palace-dressed fairy had already arrived on the island. She then did something that made Han Zhiling¡¯s eyes widen in astonishment.


    She directly performed a disciple¡¯s salute towards Chen Mobai, who was sitting beside the Green Charm Spiritual Tree drinking tea.


    ¡°Disciple pays respect to Master!¡±

 Chapter 1149 - Chapter 1149 Chapter 633 Melting Fire Cultivation (14400

    Chapter 1149: Chapter 633: Melting Fire Cultivation (14,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1149: Chapter 633: Melting Fire Cultivation (14,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Performing the bow was Luo Yixuan.


    Her success in Core Formation delighted Chen Mobai greatly.


    Although it was Elder Ming¡¯s Ghost Pill, once transformed into an external incarnation, it effectively became Luo Yixuan¡¯s own strength.


    At the very least, when facing Foundation Establishment Practitioners, she could achieve an overwhelming advantage in realm.


    With this, the Divine Wood Sect now had four cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, and could undoubtedly claim the title of the Number One Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, even without considering Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Come here, your eldest senior brother and I have been waiting for you for several days,¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed and waved to Luo Yixuan, who had just stepped onto the shore. She immediately glided over the water, passing a stunned and motionless Han Zhiling, and arrived under the Green Chan Tea Tree.


    ¡°Master, this is your item.¡±


    After arriving, Luo Yixuan promptly handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai.


    Contained within were the Formless Puppet and the Haotian Mirror.


    If she encountered any Ghost Cultivators on the Yellow Springs Path, as long as they were not Rank-4 Ghost Kings, the Pure Yang Fire could at least ensure Luo Yixuan¡¯s safe retreat.


    ¡°How does it feel after forming your core?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded to Elder Ming, who was hiding in Luo Yixuan¡¯s shadow, took the items, and stored them in his domain, then inquired.


    After all, this type of core formation was a first in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Report to the Saint Child, everything went as smoothly as we had anticipated,¡±


    Elder Ming responded briefly. Although there are always variables in plans, this time, there were no surprises whatsoever.


    Once they entered the Yellow Springs Path, they found a Yin Meridian Spiritual Land and commenced Core Formation.


    Though a couple of minor ghosts wandered by unwittingly, Elder Ming dispersed them all, turning them into the Yin Qi needed for Core Formation.


    Being a powerful Ghost Cultivator nearly at Perfect Core Formation, Elder Ming had an easy time reforming a Ghost Pill, succeeding effortlessly.


    After forming the core, the two of them didn¡¯t linger on the Yellow Springs Path and immediately returned to the Eastern Wilderness, then found this place.


    Luo Yixuan, eager to show off her achievements in front of her master, had Elder Ming demonstrate her newfound power, causing quite a commotion.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad, you¡¯ve done very well. No unusual feelings in your body?¡±


    Chen Mobai was well aware of her personality and generously praised her, asking concernedly.


    Luo Yixuan, hearing this, was even more delighted.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve never felt better.¡±


    While speaking, Luo Yixuan skillfully extended her arm for Chen Mobai to feel her pulse.


    ¡°Hmm, your Yellow Springs Spiritual Power has already condensed into a Ghost Pill, a perfectly rounded unity. However, you¡¯re still at the Early Foundation Stage, so in the future don¡¯t be rash and try to manipulate it yourself. If you encounter an enemy you can¡¯t handle, let your external incarnation take over.¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s condition was quite peculiar, with Elder Ming¡¯s condensed Ghost Pill occupying the central position of her Dantian Qi Sea, and her flesh had also transformed to Rank-3. But the Black Water Spiritual Power she cultivated on her own, like water ripples, lingered in a corner.


    If she took action herself, she could only manipulate the Black Water Spiritual Power, effectively as a cultivator at the early stages of Foundation Establishment.


    But if she activated her external incarnation, allowing Elder Ming to control her body, she could instantly unleash Golden Core Stage¡¯s Yellow Springs Spiritual Power.


    It was as if she could switch between a larger or smaller size at will, and very flexibly at that.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Luo Yixuan retracted her hand and obediently nodded.


    Although she had effectively reached the Golden Core Stage, she didn¡¯t consider herself equal to her master, who seemed like a god, and she kept her sense of place.


    ¡°However, now that you¡¯ve condensed a Ghost Pill, you¡¯ll encounter no bottlenecks in your Blackwater Cultivation until the Early Golden Core Stage. It seems among my disciples, you will rise from behind to become the highest in cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed this after his examination. Luo Yixuan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.


    This meant all she needed was to enhance her Spiritual Power.


    For Luo Yixuan¡¯s future Core Formation, she just needed her Divine Sense to complete its transformation to succeed.


    Of course, the Heavenly Tribulation was unavoidable.


    Moreover, due to cultivating Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, the power of her tribulations may double, becoming extremely terrifying.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s situation made Chen Mobai think of a forbidden technique he had once come across.


    It was the ¡°Twofold Divine Technique¡± practiced by Yang Jing and Kong Feichen.


    Luo Yixuan and her external incarnation, Elder Ming, were naturally ¡®twofold,¡¯ and with Elder Ming swearing an oath on her Dao Heart, she would definitely not turn against Luo Yixuan. Would it be suitable to practice this to enhance Divine Sense?


    But after some thought, Chen Mobai decided against it.


    After all, the Twofold Divine Technique was forbidden. In order to solve the misfortune of their secondary personalities, Yang Jing and Kong Feichen even betrayed their Immortal Gate and sought refuge with the Ascension Sect.


    Young Luo Yixuan already possessed Golden Core Stage power, and it seemed to Chen Mobai that she was slightly inflated, even though she remained obedient in front of him.


    It was better to let her cultivate her Divine Sense through hard work to solidify her foundation.


    Later, if she really got stuck because of her Divine Sense, he would then consider whether to obtain the Twofold Divine Technique and teach it to her.


    At this time, Han Zhiling came over with the prepared food, and Liu Wenbo immediately exited the restriction to take the food back.


    ¡°Take her along as well,¡±


    Chen Mobai, noticing the departing Han Zhiling, spoke to his eldest disciple. Liu Wenbo, after hearing this, placed the food down and once more exited the restriction to bring Han Zhiling inside.


    ¡°You must not reveal a word about what you have seen today.¡±


    Since Luo Yixuan¡¯s condensed core was a Ghost Pill, Chen Mobai had no intention of publicizing the matter. Moreover, her power as a Golden Core Stage cultivator would serve a greater purpose if concealed, so he instructed Han Zhiling calmly.


    Of course, this was mainly due to Luo Yixuan¡¯s inability to resist showing off; otherwise, Han Zhiling would not have seen anything.


    But Luo Yixuan felt wronged. She had thought that Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo had found a secluded place just for the two of them, unaware that Han Zhiling, an outsider, was there cooking and serving.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Han Zhiling, after hearing this, did not hesitate and made an oath of her Dao heart in front of the master and his two disciples.


    ¡°You girl, you are rather fated with me. These days, having consumed your cooking, if you have any confusion about cultivation, feel free to ask me,¡± Chen Mobai kindly offered to teach, noting that Han Zhiling had potential, and he spoke with a gentle expression.


    The youthful girl with a handsome face hesitated slightly upon hearing this, but then, clenching her teeth, she knelt down before Chen Mobai to pay her respects.


    ¡°Please, Sect Leader, accept me as your disciple!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as a great sage and good teacher had spread across the entire Eastern Wilderness in the past decade or two, and countless cultivators wished to be guided by him.


    After the death of her father, Han Zhiling felt the impermanence of life acutely, understanding that if she did not cultivate with great vigor, in the end, she would merely return to dust.


    If she could become a disciple of Chen Mobai, she at least had a solid foundation for Foundation Establishment in the future.


    Previously, Han Zhiling might not have had the courage to do so, but after Luo Yixuan revealed the power of Core Formation, she was deeply shaken.


    Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect all knew that Chen Mobai had four direct disciples, each a paragon of the sect.


    This third disciple, known as the Southern Mountain Fairy, was the one with the highest talent and was the first among Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples to achieve Foundation Establishment, but rumor had it she had gone missing for over a decade.


    Nobody expected that she had been in seclusion to form her core.


    Indeed, she lived up to the legend, the most talented like her master amongst Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples!


    It was because of this, after Chen Mobai offered to instruct her in cultivation, that Han Zhiling immediately paid homage as a disciple.


    ¡°Stand up¡­ I do not accept Qi Practitioners as disciples.¡±


    Chen Mobai, using the same reason he had for Song Huangdae, declined, but he was a bit more tactful with Han Zhiling.


    Uplifted by pure Yang spiritual power, Han Zhiling got to her feet, her striking face filled with disappointment.


    ¡°To receive instruction in cultivation from the master is a rare opportunity, do not miss it,¡± Liu Wenbo, the kind-hearted one, reminded her.


    Upon hearing this, Han Zhiling immediately composed herself and presented all the various issues she encountered in her cultivation.


    She had reached the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation while at the Longevity Academy.


    Then with a year at the Divine Wood Sect coupled with the Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cultivation at the Flying Dragon Pool, she had shown signs of breakthrough yet was always unable to overcome the bottleneck.


    Chen Mobai asked, ¡°What cultivation technique are you practicing?¡±


    To give guidance, he first needed to know this.


    Han Zhiling replied that she was practicing the ¡°Melting Fire Cultivation,¡± an Earth-Fire Duality Attribute technique her father had sought out for her after her Spirit Root Attributes had been tested.


    Amongst loose cultivators, this technique was considered superior.


    After reaching the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation she could smelt spiritual power into true fire, possessing techniques like Flames Shot, Fire Mist Dust, and Melting Fire Blade.


    Han Zhiling¡¯s victory at the Longevity Academy had hinged on the strength of this technique.


    ¡°Master, the ¡°Melting Fire Cultivation¡± within our sect only contains parts up to the Early Golden Core Stage; the cultivation content beyond that is the Earth¡¯s Core True Fire Technique from Back to Sky Valley¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was not well-versed with the cultivation techniques of the Eastern Wilderness, Liu Wenbo knew this and immediately conveyed the information to him through a message.


    It turns out that the ¡°Melting Fire Technique¡± is in fact a simplified version of the Earth¡¯s Core True Fire Technique, which had spread from Back to Sky Valley.


    If among loose cultivators, anyone could cultivate this technique beyond the seventh layer, they would typically be accepted into the valley; after all, even if one knew nothing else, if they could manage to produce True Fire, they could at least work as Fire Burning Boy.


    With Back to Sky Valley¡¯s alchemy business spanning the Eastern Wilderness and demand for their products never ceasing amongst cultivators, they were open to any suitable cultivator who came their way.


    Chen Mobai had Han Zhiling recite the Melting Fire Technique; she thought the Sect Leader wanted to test her understanding of the technique, and after reciting, she pondered how to answer his follow-up questions.


    However, Chen Mobai just needed to familiarize himself with the technique.


    With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, even without using a Formless Puppet for simulations, he quickly identified numerous issues in Han Zhiling¡¯s cultivation.


    After pointing them out one by one, Han Zhiling appeared enlightened and, right in front of the trio, entered a state of tranquility, breaking through her cultivation bottleneck and reaching the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°This child is quite insightful,¡± Liu Wenbo couldn¡¯t help but commend her, while Luo Yixuan remained silently dignified, feeling that their master¡¯s disciples were getting too numerous. Han Zhiling¡¯s earlier wish to become a disciple had displeased her.


    Two days later.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance!¡± Having stabilized her cultivation realm, Han Zhiling opened her eyes and thanked Chen Mobai with a grand gesture.


    ¡°The talent is your own doing; now, channel some spiritual power to me,¡± Mobai routinely checked her spirit root, and though Han Zhiling was somewhat perplexed, she dutifully followed his guidance and channeled her spiritual power to him.


    After waiting a moment, the Spirit-Testing Instrument did not display the Five Elements Spirit Root Value on the screen. It seemed that having been used for a long time, the device was a bit worn out.


    Chen Mobai counted the years, realizing it had been thirty-five since he had bought the Spirit Instrument from Qing Nu in his senior year of high school.


    How quickly time flies!


    In the midst of his reflection, he took the Green Charm Spiritual Tea that Luo Yixuan handed him and leisurely drank most of it before raising his hand again.


    This time, the Spirit Instrument displayed all the values of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.


    In looking at the values, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback!

    [Metal 4, Wood 12, Water 5, Fire 62, Earth 20].


    Setting aside the total of 103 points for the Five Elements Spiritual Root, just the 61 points in the Fire Spirit Root alone seemed rather astonishing.


    Keep in mind, neither Yunyang Bing nor Ming Yuhua, who were Mobai¡¯s contemporaries, had Fire Spirit Root values as high as Han Zhiling¡¯s.


    What did she say just a moment ago?


    Something about wanting to become a disciple?

 Chapter 1150 - Chapter 1150 Chapter 634 Third Generation Storefront

    Chapter 1150: Chapter 634: Third Generation Storefront Chapter 1150: Chapter 634: Third Generation Storefront I should have tested her Spiritual Root first.


    Now that I¡¯ve spoken, as the Sect Leader of the largest sect in the Eastern Wilderness, I can¡¯t just go back on my word and change my mind on the spot.


    Forget it, my own face is more important; I can¡¯t lose face in front of my two disciples.


    Chen Mobai thought about it and repressed his desire to take on a new disciple. His dignified and authoritative persona, his word being as invaluable as gold, couldn¡¯t be tarnished by this little girl.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, who was by his side, had her attention fixed on Chen Mobai. Upon seeing him stare at the palm of his hand, lost in deep contemplation and displaying a conflicted gaze, she couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, about to store the Spirit-Testing Instruments back into his Storage Bag when suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked straight at Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Master?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, feeling somewhat uneasy under his gaze, worried that there might be something wrong with the Ghost Pill she had condensed, her eyes beginning to show a hint of panic.


    ¡°Xuan, you¡¯re not getting any younger. Now that you¡¯ve achieved Core Formation, your cultivation has reached a peak. Haven¡¯t you considered taking some disciples to carry on the lineage of your master¡¯s Xiao Nanshan and enhance its glory?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford to slap his own face, but it seemed a pity to let such an outstanding Fire Spirit Root talent slip through his fingers without making an effort.


    Upon seeing Luo Yixuan, the solution came to him at once.


    They lacked a third-generation Eldest Disciple in the Xiao Nanshan Lineage who could uphold the sect¡¯s prestige. So why not let her, who had just formed her core, take Han Zhiling as a disciple? It would be killing two birds with one stone.


    Liu Wenbo, who was to one side, couldn¡¯t help feeling a little surprised after hearing this.


    But even more astonished was Han Zhiling herself.


    She had never anticipated such a turn of events. Although she couldn¡¯t become a second-generation disciple directly under Chen Mobai, the possibility of becoming a disciple of Luo Yixuan, who had also achieved Core Formation, filled her with unexpected joy.


    After hearing this, Luo Yixuan hesitated.


    The thought of Chen Mobai asking her to take on disciples had genuinely never crossed her mind.


    Although she was obedient, according to the Xiao Nanshan rules, once she accepted disciples, she would be responsible for them for a lifetime.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t think she was as responsible as Chen Mobai. If she accepted Han Zhiling as her disciple and later failed to teach her diligently, Chen Mobai would find out and punish her.


    So, she quickly thought of an excuse and tactfully declined.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m actually still young¡­ and neither the Eldest Disciple nor Senior Sister Zhuo have taken any disciples. If I were the first, wouldn¡¯t that be presumptuous?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t insist. After all, under his own leadership, everyone in the Xiao Nanshan lineage held the master-disciple relationship in high regard.


    Moreover, Luo Yixuan¡¯s temperament was indeed not suited for teaching others. If Han Zhiling were put under her care without constant supervision, she might indeed stray from the path.


    ¡°Wen Bo, what do you think?¡±


    Since Luo Yixuan did not want to take on disciples, Chen Mobai could only offer the opportunity to the Eldest Disciple present.


    ¡°If Master instructs, I naturally obey, but as I spend ninety percent of my time traveling throughout the Eastern Wilderness, having Han as my disciple might hinder her cultivation.¡±


    Liu Wenbo spoke truthfully. As the leader among the second-generation disciples, Chen Mobai trusted him the most with matters, but taking Han Zhiling as a disciple might indeed lead to more delays.


    He couldn¡¯t let her simply tag along with Liu Wenbo in his business ventures; after all, she hadn¡¯t yet reached Foundation Establishment and was at a critical phase of Qi Cultivation and establishing her foundation.


    Meanwhile, Han Zhiling¡¯s emotions surged. From excitement to disappointment, then hope and disappointment again, her feelings fluctuated.


    Her tenacity, nurtured since childhood, began to wane slightly as her lips pursed and her eyes reddened.


    As expected, the Sect Leader¡¯s standard for taking disciples was too high, and she had not captured the attention of either Uncle Liu or Uncle Luo.


    Just as she felt dejected and doubtful of herself, Liu Wenbo spoke up again.


    ¡°How about, let her go farming with Shimei Zhuo?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but agree.


    Considering Zhuo Ming¡¯s temperament, Han Zhiling following her would actually be the best fit.


    Not only would she be able to stay and cultivate within the sect, but she could also help to take care of the Spirit Fields, alleviating the increasingly heavy burden on Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Han girl, you were the first student I selected personally from the Longevity Academy, and we¡¯ve met here at the Flying Dragon Pool, showing the deep fate between you and my lineage,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    ¡°However, I don¡¯t take Qi Cultivating Disciples. If you¡¯re willing, after completing your watch duty at the end of the year, come to Xiao Nanshan and follow Ming¡¯er for a while.¡±


    ¡°If you get along well and Ming¡¯er has no objections, I will personally oversee your initiation ceremony. How about that?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s tone made Han Zhiling feel an unprecedented sense of respect. The eminent Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect was actually considering the wishes of a mere Qi Cultivating Disciple like her.


    She immediately nodded her head repeatedly, indicating she would comply with the Sect Leader¡¯s arrangements!

    ¡°Hahaha, good, Wen Bo, stay behind and introduce the rules of Xiao Nanshan to Han and find a new watcher for these two Green Charm Spiritual Trees planted at the Dragon Vein Tributary. Also, after that lad at Dragon Horn Trench finishes drawing the Qi of Dragon Vein, think of a reason to call him back; deal with it as you see fit,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    Liu Wenbo, understanding the unspoken parts about the Restoration Society, nodded in acknowledgment.


    ¡°Xuan, back to the sect!¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a multi-colored glow rose beneath his feet, quickly transforming into a cloud.


    Luo Yixuan floated up gracefully, looking like a celestial being as she landed on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk.¡±

 Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151 Chapter 634 The Third Generation Storefront_2

    Chapter 1151: Chapter 634: The Third Generation Storefront_2 Chapter 1151: Chapter 634: The Third Generation Storefront_2 ¡°Bid farewell to the Sect Leader and Elder Luo!¡±


    At this moment, Han Zhiling was quick-witted and immediately paid her respects to Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan, who were flying into the sky, afraid that they didn¡¯t notice her, she shouted extra loudly!


    ¡°Master, Senior Sister Zhuo will definitely be surprised to know that you¡¯ve arranged a disciple for her.¡±


    Luo Yixuan said with a smile while they flew towards Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Xuan, I hope you will remember this day well.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words sent a shiver through Luo Yixuan¡¯s spirit.


    ¡°Is it because this is our first meeting since my Core Formation?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s one reason¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily without giving a direct answer, letting Luo Yixuan guess for herself.


    He hoped that in the future, she wouldn¡¯t regret too much giving Han Zhiling, who had presented herself before them, to Zhuo Ming.


    The speed of two Golden Core Cultivators was naturally swift beyond compare.


    Soon, they arrived at the Green Phoenix Market nearby and, using the Teleportation Array there, returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo, and before long, having received his message, Fu Zongjue arrived.


    Hearing that Luo Yixuan had truly formed a Ghost Pill, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue were both surprised and emotional.


    They reflected on their own Core Formation, which was basically akin to facing death, to the extent that even their last words had been prepared.


    They never expected that among the younger generation, Chen Mobai formed his core at forty-four, Luo Yixuan at fifty.


    Seeing the youthful and tender-faced master and disciple standing together with skin like jade, they sincerely felt their age.


    At this moment, another dull yellow Spiritual Light flew over.


    It was Zhuo Ming.


    Luo Yixuan immediately approached her and held hands, showing their deep sisterly bond.


    And Zhuo Ming, hearing of her successful Core Formation, was genuinely happy, more excited than anyone else present.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s prepare for the Soul Nourishing Wood¡¯s Level Up.¡±


    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Mobai waved to his two disciples, prompting them to walk over to where Zhou Shengqing¡¯s apparition was.


    ¡°If this Spirit Wood grades up, it will definitely trigger the Heavenly Tribulation. However, the tribulation for Spirit Plants is far less demanding than for human cultivators, so as long as we are well-prepared, there should be no problems,¡± Elder Ming said, being the most knowledgeable about Soul Nourishing Wood among those present.


    ¡°But a Heavenly Tribulation descending on Giant Tree Ridge for no apparent reason may attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, and if they discover any clues about the Soul Nourishing Wood, it may draw the gaze of the major sects from beyond the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Fu Zongjue expressed his concerns.


    A Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood represents a Nascent Soul in its embodiment form, which would even tempt the major sects of the East Land.


    ¡°Master, what if we announce my Core Formation? That way, outsiders will just assume it¡¯s me undergoing tribulation,¡± Luo Yixuan suggested proactively.


    But Chen Mobai and the other two shook their heads in unison.


    Zhou Shengqing said, ¡°If you¡¯ve formed your core, surely more people will come to test you, and enemies will treat you as a Golden Core Cultivator; if the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power is exposed under the public eye, it could easily be misinterpreted as a Ghost Cultivator possessing and rebirth, where then would Junior Brother Chen¡¯s face be put?¡±


    As an in-disciple of the Sect Leader of the largest sect in the wilderness, to be possessed by a ghost cultivator, neither Chen Mobai nor Divine Wood Sect could afford the loss of face.


    Upon hearing that, Luo Yixuan also thought it made sense.


    She had formed her Dan, but she probably could only spar with Meng Hong; it was better to remain concealed.


    ¡°How about we take this Soul Nourishing Wood to the Divine Tree Secret Realm for its Level Up?¡±


    Chen Mobai made a suggestion, which everyone thought feasible, and they immediately opened the Secret Realm to go and inspect it on site.


    But after the inspection, Elder Ming shook her head.


    ¡°Saint Heir, most of the Spirit Veins here are suppressed by the three Longevity Trees. If the Soul-Nurturing Tree is to level up, there won¡¯t be enough Spiritual Energy!¡±


    Though there are Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Veins within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, the Great Dao Tree alone occupies fifty percent, with the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree each holding twenty percent, leaving only ten percent to disperse and give rise to the lush vegetation within the realm.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai had to search for a long time before he found six Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Trees. In reality, most of the spirit energy of the realm is gathered around the three Longevity Trees.


    To solve the problem of spiritual energy, one could use a large number of Spirit Stones.


    However, since none of them had experience with nurturing a Spirit Plant to Rank-5, they didn¡¯t know exactly how much spiritual energy was needed.


    What if there were not enough Spirit Stones, causing the level up to fail?


    The Rank-4 Pinnacle Soul-Nurturing Tree was the only one they had. It would be safer to attempt the level up within Giant Tree Ridge, where Fu Zongjue could personally operate the Array of Ten Thousand Woods to continuously supply energy from the Spirit Veins.


    Having decided this, Elder Ming took the various Yin attributed materials prepared by Fu Zongjue, ready to create a mini Underworld environment within Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo.


    ¡°Master, I have an idea!¡±


    Just as the group of Golden Core Cultivators was about to take action, Zhuo Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°Oh, Ming¡¯er, feel free to speak!¡±


    Chen Mobai regarded this disciple as his chosen successor, looking at her with encouraging eyes.


    ¡°Actually, the Immortal Peach Tree at the peak of Xiao Nanshan could also possibly level up to a Rank-4 Spirit Plant if it receives a boost during the awakening process.¡±


    ¡°I was thinking, couldn¡¯t we bring the Soul-Nurturing Tree to Xiao Nanshan? If leveling up triggers a Heavenly Tribulation, we could claim it was caused by the breakthrough of the Immortal Peach Tree.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, my Earth Mother Cultivation could play a much bigger role at Xiao Nanshan, and we could also leverage the Power of Taishui to increase the success rate of the Soul-Nurturing Tree¡¯s level up.¡±


    Once Zhuo Ming finished speaking, Chen Mobai and the others¡¯ eyes lit up.


    The more they thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.


    ¡°But if we do this, then we would have to carry out the whole act. Junior Brother Chen might have to level up the Immortal Peach Tree as well. If two Spirit Plants trigger a Heavenly Tribulation simultaneously, could it possibly cause a chain reaction, resulting in both failing due to the compounded power?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, however, considered deeper issues and expressed his concerns.


    ¡°This can be managed by spacing them out, such as first leveling up the Soul-Nurturing Tree, and after its success, attending to the Immortal Peach Tree. Even if the two tribulations are spaced apart, others will simply think that the Immortal Peach Tree has such a profound foundation that it caused the tribulation to last an exceptionally long time!¡±


    Fu Zongjue suggested the solution, and Chen Mobai also found it to be feasible, nodding in agreement and adding.


    ¡°Moreover, given the higher grade of the Soul-Nurturing Tree, its Heavenly Tribulation will definitely be stronger than that of the Immortal Peach Tree. With tribulations weakening wave by wave, outsiders will only think it¡¯s the aftershocks, which would corroborate that explanation perfectly.¡±


    At this point, they had largely reached a consensus and decided to follow Zhuo Ming¡¯s suggestion to move the Soul-Nurturing Tree¡¯s level up to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°In fact, if we trigger the Heavenly Tribulations of these two Spirit Plants simultaneously, it might actually be a good thing!¡±


    It was at this moment Elder Ming, speaking through Luo Yixuan, suddenly chimed in.


    ¡°Oh? How so?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with curiosity.


    ¡°The Spirit Plant of the peach tree and the Soul-Nurturing Tree counter each other, and their Heavenly Tribulations naturally counteract as well.¡±


    ¡°If we could initiate the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Peach Tree at the same location while the Soul-Nurturing Tree is undergoing its own, we could use the latter¡¯s tribulation to dissipate part of the former¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°I have examined this Soul-Nurturing Tree, and Miss Zhuo has nurtured it very well. If we can reduce the dread of the tribulation, leveling up is almost assuredly successful.¡±


    After hearing Elder Ming¡¯s argument, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue looked at each other, surprise evident in their eyes.


    They truly hadn¡¯t considered that Heavenly Tribulations could be utilized this way.


    Faced with something beyond their understanding, the two hesitated, unable to make a decision.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, if the tribulations of the two Spirit Plants were not counteractive but additive, then both the Immortal Peach Tree and the Soul-Nurturing Tree might be reduced to ashes.


    On the contrary, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes shone with realization, and the more he thought about it, the more viable Elder Ming¡¯s plan seemed.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s feasible; what do my Senior Brothers think?¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai spoke, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue stopped hesitating and nodded in unison.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s do it!¡±

 Chapter 1152 - Chapter 1152 Chapter 635 Beginning to Level Up

    Chapter 1152: Chapter 635: Beginning to Level Up Chapter 1152: Chapter 635: Beginning to Level Up After Chen Mobai and his two companions reached a consensus, the matter progressed swiftly.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan first took the Soul Nourishing Wood to Xiao Nanshan to prepare the environment for its advancement and to establish a connection with the local mountain spirit vein.


    Following that, Chen Mobai issued a directive from the Sect Leader to do something he had long wanted to do: to let the Spirit Vein Division and the Formation Division work together to upgrade the spirit vein level of Xiao Nanshan.


    For this task, both the Spirit Vein and Formation Divisions were worried and troubled.


    If it were a minor upgrade, it wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for them.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s order was to elevate Xiao Nanshan¡¯s spirit vein by a whole rank, jumping from a Rank-3 to a Rank-4.


    For the Divine Wood Sect, this would require a significant and costly effort.


    In the Tianhe Realm, there are mainly two methods to upgrade a spirit vein.


    One is for an Earth Master to intervene, moving mountains and redirecting pathways to draw nearby spirit veins over, essentially sacrificing other spirit veins to achieve the upgrade.


    The second is to bury Spirit Stones and use formations to integrate them with the spirit vein, leveraging the infinite spiritual energy of the Spirit Stones to continuously nourish and raise the level of the spirit vein.


    Generally speaking, a Rank-1 spirit vein needs ten thousand Spirit Stones, a Rank-2 requires one hundred thousand, a Rank-3 needs a million, and a Rank-4 starts from ten million at the very least.


    If the first method were to be used, it would involve diverting the flow from the core of Giant Tree Ridge¡¯s three Longevity Wood dojos, which would damage the spirit veins used by our three venerable elders for their cultivation.


    Both ministers value their lives too much to consider such a course of action.


    Therefore, they could only choose the second method.


    But this raised a big problem!


    It must be noted that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s net annual income from Spirit Stones is only about one to two million.


    In recent years, due to the war with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, a large portion of the savings that had been accumulated steadily during Chen Mobai¡¯s decade-long tenure had already been spent.


    If another ten million Spirit Stones were to be taken out now to upgrade Xiao Nanshan to a Rank-4 spirit vein, it¡¯s estimated that for the next three years, disciples of the sect wouldn¡¯t receive any spirit stone compensation.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, faced with the ministers of the Formation Division and the Spirit Vein Division who came asking for Spirit Stones with Chen Mobai¡¯s edict, was also deeply troubled. She dared not defy the order, but she also couldn¡¯t bear to empty the sect¡¯s reserves entirely.


    She could only say that the Reward Virtue Hall didn¡¯t have that many Spirit Stones, hoping to stall the situation for a while.


    Yi Shaoqing from the Formation Division and Ma Gang from the Spirit Vein Division, upon hearing her response, knew they couldn¡¯t do much and had to report the situation to Yue Zutao to inform the Sect Leader.


    ¡°The Sect Leader is already aware of this matter; he told me to give this to you.¡±


    However, Yue Zutao was waiting for them in Shenmu Hall and then took out a storage bag, pouring its contents onto the table.


    A thousand shining, crystal-clear top-grade Spirit Stones with a dazzling brilliance made Yi Shaoqing and Ma Gang, both of whom were quite experienced, tremble with excitement.


    In their lifetimes, they had each only ever possessed a maximum of five top-grade Spirit Stones!


    ¡°Complete the Sect Leader¡¯s orders as quickly as possible; he is paying close attention to this matter,¡± Yue Zutao emphasized, with Yi Shaoqing and Ma Gang nodding solemnly. With a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones in hand, they felt immediately empowered.


    Moreover, upgrading a spirit vein to Rank-4 was an extremely rare and valuable experience, so the elite members from both divisions were eager to take part.


    But there was another problem.


    Using Spirit Stones to upgrade a spirit vein to Rank-4 would still require an object to stabilize it.


    Otherwise, this forcibly upgraded spirit vein would slowly dissipate, eventually reverting to its original grade.


    For example, the Mother Earth Stone that was used at Mountain Shaker Peak, a Rank-4 Spirit Plant like the Everlife Wood, or several stalks of a Rank-4 herb could barely manage it, or perhaps special spiritual treasures designed for concentrating spiritual energy, and so on¡­


    The Spirit Plant Department hadn¡¯t received an order from the Sect Leader yet, but the minister, Shi Fengping, was already searching for a suitable Grade-4 Spirit Plant among the seven countries under Divine Wood Sect¡¯s domain.


    He personally inspected Spiritual Objects such as Giant Tree Ridge¡¯s Xu Xian Zhi, the Jade Spirit Flower, the Revitalizing Yang Grass, Yun Country Tianpeng Mountain Branch¡¯s Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, Jianguo Dayun Proving Ground¡¯s Cloud Wood Dragon Vine, and others, preparing transplanting plans in advance and planning to perform well when asked by the Sect Leader.


    But soon, Shi Fengping realized he had worked in vain.


    Yi Shaoqing and Ma Gang, who went to Xiao Nanshan to upgrade the spirit vein, communicated with the local Zhuo Ming, who told them about the breakthrough phenomenon with the Immortal Peach Tree at the mountain¡¯s summit. In order to ensure its successful advancement, Chen Mobai had mobilized the sect¡¯s cultivators and even took out his ten years¡¯ remuneration from the medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country after Core Formation, all to assist in the Spirit Plant¡¯s upgrade.


    If the Immortal Peach Tree were to successfully advance, there would be no need for any other Rank-4 Spiritual Objects to stabilize the spirit vein.


    Upon hearing this, Shi Fengping¡¯s expression showed clear disappointment.

    He had thought he would have a chance to curry favor with the Sect Leader.


    Shi Fengping was also in the late phase of Foundation Establishment; although he might already be over two hundred years old by the time he reached Foundation Establishment Completion, after witnessing Meng Hong regaining his youth, he too began to yearn for Core Formation.


    Not just him, but all Foundation Establishment practitioners in the late phase in the Divine Wood Sect were now keenly observing every move Chen Mobai made.


    They were all aware that Chen Mobai still had a Heterodox Golden Core in his possession. Even if it was incompatible with their attributes, they could still expect the Sect Leader to make a grand display and slay a Rank-3 demonic beast in the future.


    Thus, upon Chen Mobai¡¯s return, he found that many practitioners from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were trying to find excuses to meet with him.

 Chapter 1153 - Chapter 1153 Chapter 635 Start Leveling Up_2

    Chapter 1153: Chapter 635 Start Leveling Up_2 Chapter 1153: Chapter 635 Start Leveling Up_2 He paid no attention to this; all were blocked by Gu Yan, and he saw none of them.


    It was because of this that when Chen Mobai was about to upgrade the Small Southern Mountain Spiritual Vein to Rank-4, Yi Shaoqing and Ma Gang initially thought that sect¡¯s Spirit Stones were to be used. Although they felt something was off, they did not oppose, and the first thought in their minds was to help the Sect Leader get the job done well.


    Now that Chen Mobai had provided his own Spirit Stones, they worked even harder. The two major divisions joined forces and completed all the work within a mere month.


    Of course, the main reason was the assistance of Zhuo Ming, the landowner. Once the Spirit Stones were buried and the Yun Ling Formation was set up, the Formation Division also began to direct the scattered Spiritual Energy from the Array of Ten Thousand Woods over here.


    In the vast expanse of Giant Tree Ridge, the Spiritual Energy naturally diffused from the earth each day was also immense.


    Even for a Golden Core Cultivator like Chen Mobai, the amount of Spiritual Energy he could swallow and breathe out daily was limited.


    The majority of it would naturally cycle back to the earth¡¯s Spirit Vein, but much of the Spiritual Energy, being light and clear, would constantly rise towards the Nine Heavens.


    After discovering this, cultivators in the Tianhe Realm came up with the Soul-Locking Technique to lock down this light Spiritual Energy with their own Mountain Protection Array. Thereafter, they would use methods like the Spirit Gathering Array to accumulate this light Spiritual Energy and refine and absorb it.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Array of Ten Thousand Woods worked in a similar fashion, with this vast amount of light Spiritual Energy accumulating over Giant Tree Ridge. Once it exceeded a certain threshold in the formation, the Formation would begin to guide and transfer it. Some of it was condensed into ¡°Pure Spirit Morning Dew¡± by the Alchemy Department, and most was dispersed into the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to provide for various Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    Since the quality of this part of the light Spiritual Energy was very high and easy to refine, it was almost exclusively for upper-level cultivators.


    Normally, the Array of Ten Thousand Woods would store light Spiritual Energy equivalent to a million Spirit Stones to ensure that, when the Formation was activated, it could lubricate the pivot of each Array Flag at various points to unleash the formation¡¯s power to its fullest in the shortest time.


    With the Small Southern Mountain upgrading to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein, all this light Spiritual Energy originally for the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions was naturally requisitioned.


    Zhuo Ming put aside all his other affairs and moved into the wooden house at the mountain¡¯s peak, using All Things Spiritual Communication and the All-things Altruistic Cauldron every day to help the Small Southern Mountain¡¯s Spirit Vein refine Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy.


    With combined efforts, the Spiritual Vein of Small Southern Mountain swiftly began to rise!


    In half a year¡¯s time, it had upgraded to the peak of Rank-3!


    After reaching this point, Zhuo Ming stopped.


    If they were to upgrade to Rank-4 now, the Immortal Peach Tree might be somewhat suppressed, so it was better to leave it be for now.


    After all, by the time Fu Zongjue would control the Array of Ten Thousand Woods and channel the Spirit Vein Qi from the three Everlife Woods of Giant Tree Ridge, there would be no need to worry about an insufficiency of Spiritual Energy.


    This day!


    In Shenmu Hall, the routine sect clan meeting was taking place.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were discussing Elder Chen¡¯s spending of ten million Spirit Stones to upgrade the Small Southern Mountain Spiritual Vein, and their tone was full of envy.


    Among them, the wealthiest possessed only several hundred thousand Spirit Stones at most.


    Elder Chen freely spent ten million Spirit Stones without blinking an eye, which could only be described as grand!


    As they were casually discussing, Chen Mobai walked in with Yue Zutao and Gu Yan.


    Everyone was momentarily stunned.


    As a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Chen Mobai would not attend the meeting unless there was something important, as Yue Zutao would typically stand in for him.


    So, why did he suddenly appear today?


    As everyone was puzzled, another Core Formation Aura descended, and Fu Zongjue appeared in Shenmu Hall.


    A significant event!?


    Seeing two Nascent Soul Ancestors appear at the same time, everyone¡¯s mind flashed with this thought, and suddenly all of them became serious, taking their respective places.


    ¡°In seven days, the Immortal Peach Tree that I planted on Small Southern Mountain will begin to advance and transcend tribulation. To ensure success, I have invited Elder Fu to help operate the Array of Ten Thousand Woods to supply Spiritual Energy,¡± Chen Mobai announced.


    ¡°This matter should be communicated to every disciple within the sect, because most of the Spiritual Energy in the skies of Giant Tree Ridge will be drawn to the airspace above Small Southern Mountain at that time. If anyone cultivates during this period, there is a high probability of a deficiency in Spiritual Energy leading to failure.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, no one is allowed to watch the tribulation. I don¡¯t want to see any sect cultivators within the range of the five mountains surrounding Small Southern Mountain.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.


    After the meeting, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue took their leave, the latter also needing to prepare the formation with Yi Shaoqing.


    And Chen Mobai made his way to Qingdai Mountain.


    ¡°Greetings, Foster Father!¡±


    Upon witnessing him descend from the heavens, a look of joy appeared on Yin Qingmei¡¯s stunning face as she greeted him respectfully.


    ¡°Qingmei, I need to apply the Upstart Growth Technique to help the Immortal Peach Tree level up, and to avoid any accidents, I¡¯ve come to extract some of your Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Spiritual Power.¡±


    Chen Mobai had mastered the Upstart Growth Technique by relying on the Co-cultivation Method and borrowing Yin Qingmei¡¯s spiritual power.


    Throughout the past half year, he had fully grasped and integrated the profound essence of this grand spell at Rank Four, stored within the Heavenly Calculation Bead. Although he felt nearly certain of success, Chen Mobai still did not wish for any mishaps to occur.


    ¡°Yes, Foster Father,¡± Yin Qingmei readily agreed after hearing his request. However, she then asked somewhat timidly, ¡°¡­Foster Father, how will you extract it?¡±


    ¡°Just relax, and transfer the spiritual power to me, I have a method!¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled as he invoked his External Incarnation, and upon seeing the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, as massive as half a mountainside for the first time, Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t help but show a look of shock.


    Seven days went by in the blink of an eye.


    Within the small void that was once a vacant vertebra, Chen Mobai had stored Yin Qingmei¡¯s Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Spiritual Power using the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    As Chen Mobai prepared to leave, Yin Qingmei, who had her spiritual power drained three times, could hardly stand due to weakness.


    Feeling a bit embarrassed by this, Chen Mobai gave her two Pearls to aid in the recovery of her spiritual power.


    These Pearls, abundant with Water Spirit Qi, were deeply nourishing to the Biyu Wutong, and upon seeing them, Yin Qingmei¡¯s pale complexion instantly shone with light. She asked Chen Mobai if he still needed spiritual power, mentioning she could extract a bit more without harming her original essence.


    But storing someone else¡¯s spiritual power using the Returning Essence Secret Technique would slowly diminish its vitality.


    Chen Mobai had conducted experiments, and seven days was the limit.


    Upon leaving Qingdai Mountain, he went directly to Xiao Nanshan.


    The timing was just right, as Fu Zongjue had messaged him via the Heavenly Communication Device.


    The core of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods consisted of three Everlife Woods. Under his lead, Yi Shaoqing and the elite of the Formation Division maximized the power of the spirit gathering from their own dojo.


    One could see streaks of white rainbow, sparkling with faint hints of rainbow colors under the sunlight, streaming down from an enormous Everlife Wood to the distant Xiao Nanshan, reminiscent of a spiritual energy waterfall.


    On the shaded slope of Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan, and Zhuo Ming stood encircling the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Zhou Shengqing, who was originally among them, had now transferred and settled into the section of the Soul Nourishing Wood within Elder Ming. Since Luo Yixuan had become Elder Ming¡¯s External Incarnation, she no longer needed it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡±


    After confirming with Fu Zongjue via the Heavenly Communication Device, Chen Mobai took a deep breath and then extended his right index finger.


    He applied a Rank-Four Upstart Growth Technique!


    A yellow-green spiritual light burst forth from the tip of his finger, precisely landing on the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Subsequently, it was as if time fast-forwarded. The Huangquan soil began to emit rich yin energy, resembling wisp after wisp of green smoke, absorbed by dark branches as the Soul Nourishing Wood continuously grew and budded.


    Elder Ming, who had taken control of Luo Yixuan¡¯s body without hesitation, activated the field array she had set up, Xiao Yinjian, right after Chen Mobai.


    This was an Array developed to address the shortcomings Ghost Cultivators face in the Sun World while battling Cultivators, where due to environmental factors, they can only exert seventy to eighty percent of their full strength.


    In this Xiao Yinjian Array, Ghost Cultivators could wield their peak strength, whereas Sun World Cultivators would be suppressed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But today, this array was not intended for battle.


    After Elder Ming made her move, the entire shaded backslope of Xiao Nanshan was devoid of sunlight as if it had turned into a grim Ghost Specter. Chills emanated from the ground, forming an even more terrifying tide of cold that made Foundation Establishment Practitioner Zhuo Ming shudder uncontrollably.


    Chen Mobai was about to intervene when he noticed the cold energies begin to weaken.


    Upon closer inspection, he found that the Soul Nourishing Wood had started to sprout a translucent yellow bud, delicate as jade. This bud absorbed the surging tide of cold, growing larger and larger.


    In no time at all, the Soul Nourishing Wood grew three black leaves and a dark yellow Spirit Flower!

 Chapter 1154 - Chapter 1154 Chapter 636 Double Happiness Comes Knocking

    Chapter 1154: Chapter 636 Double Happiness Comes Knocking Chapter 1154: Chapter 636 Double Happiness Comes Knocking Chen Mobai and the others couldn¡¯t help but reveal looks of joy when they witnessed this scene.


    The blossoming of the Spirit Flower signified that the Soul Nourishing Wood had successfully leveled up.


    However, it still required an immense amount of Spiritual Energy to stabilize its Realm and prevent the newly bloomed Spirit Flower from withering.


    Fu Zongjue, upon receiving a cue from Chen Mobai, immediately deployed the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, which corralled the light Spiritual Energy accumulated at Giant Tree Ridge and the Spiritual Energy escaping from the Spirit Vein that day, transforming it into a Spiritual Energy rainbow that fell precisely into the void where the Soul Nourishing Wood resided.


    In an instant, the richness of the surrounding Spiritual Energy condensed into patches of mist that shrouded the entire shady slope of the mountain.


    The Soul Nourishing Wood instinctively began to draw in this vast Spiritual Energy, and the pale yellow blossom gradually opened more, with another petal unfurling.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai and the rest were able to relax.


    The next step was the Heavenly Tribulation!


    Boom!


    No sooner had they thought of this than the sky above was already covered with dark clouds, lightning crisscrossing, with strands of splendid golden light flickering within the clouds.


    Lightning bolts carrying the scorching heat of the sun intertwined and darted through the air, eventually congealing amidst thunderous echoes into even more robust and violent thunderbolts.


    Accompanied by an incredibly dazzling brightness, a pillar-like golden thunderbolt scorched the air and struck heavily towards the Soul Nourishing Wood that had just produced a pale yellow Spirit Flower.


    A profound black light burst forth from the pitch-black trunk of the tree, easily blocking the golden thunderbolt.


    But this was only the beginning. With a series of crackling sounds, more golden thunderbolts intertwined and flashed, resembling a sea of thunder in the sky, which then, like a funnel, poured down concentrated bolts of golden lightning from its center.


    The deep black light protecting the Soul Nourishing Wood began to thin under the relentless bombardment of the thunderbolts.


    Watching this unfold, Chen Mobai knew that it might be difficult for the Soul Nourishing Wood to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation on its own and that it was time to proceed to the second step.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er, I leave it to you here!¡± he said.


    Having uttered these words, he promptly headed with Zhuo Ming towards the peak, where an Immortal Peach Tree stood, its petals scattering in profusion due to the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Upon landing, Zhuo Ming first reached out to soothe the seemingly alarmed Immortal Peach Tree.


    With the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication, the Immortal Peach Tree calmed down.


    The earth cracked open, and Tai Sui emerged from within, wriggling to the feet of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Now I need your help. I¡¯ll find a way to upgrade you to Rank-4 later,¡± Chen Mobai said, consoling Tai Sui, who, in his whining, sensed Zhuo Ming¡¯s gaze and promptly withdrew back into the earth.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already communicated with the Immortal Peach Tree, and it knows this is the best chance for leveling up. It hopes we can start as soon as possible.¡± Zhuo Ming said.


    The most challenging part of leveling up a Spirit Plant was surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Across the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had found remnants of high-grade Spiritual Plants in many Spirit Veins, all of which had unintentionally broken through their limits, inciting a Heavenly Tribulation that ultimately led to their destruction under the overwhelming might of heaven and earth.


    Hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s words, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and once again used the Art of Encouraging Growth. A greenish-yellow Spiritual Light spread out, forming a fan shape that covered the entire Immortal Peach Tree.


    Then, a situation similar to the leveling up of the Soul Nourishing Wood occurred.


    As if time had accelerated, the tree bark became rougher and more rugged, and the already lush canopy expanded outward, even concealing the wooden house where Chen Mobai lived.


    Some bright red peaches still hung on the branches, and they all naturally ripened and fell off at this time.


    Zhuo Ming, prepared for this, began collecting them in a bamboo basket.


    Subsequently, cracks ripped through the mountaintop where the tree roots were, a sign that the trunk was expanding and pushing the ground apart.


    Surges of rich Spiritual Energy, under Zhuo Ming¡¯s control, flowed into the ground where the Immortal Peach Tree¡¯s roots had taken hold.


    Tai Sui also howled in response, once more spreading out its form to cover the thickest roots of the Immortal Peach Tree, aiding in refining the continuous rush of Spiritual Energy.


    Since the Soul Nourishing Wood¡¯s advancement had only required the stored light Spiritual Energy from the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, all the Spirit Vein Qi from Xiao Nanshan could be provided to the Immortal Peach Tree.


    Chen Mobai had originally prepared a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, thinking to crush them into Tai Sui if the Spirit Vein Qi wasn¡¯t sufficient and then allow it to supply the Immortal Peach Tree.


    Now, it seemed that none of these backup measures were necessary.


    The Spiritual Power from Yin Qingmei¡¯s Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture also went unused, as the Art of Encouraging Growth seemed to require very little Spiritual Power, apparently only serving as a catalyst. Nevertheless, the substantial accumulation of the two Spiritual Plants themselves might have contributed to this.


    Shortly after, all the leaves of the Immortal Peach Tree also fell off.

    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t waste them, quickly collecting them again with her bamboo basket, as they too were a medicinal herb, capable of detoxifying and soothing itching, and desired by both the Spirit Plant Department and the Alchemy Department of the Sect.


    With all burdens shed and nothing but branches left, the Immortal Peach Tree, after suddenly absorbing a significant amount of juice from Tai Sui, finally broke through the barrier that had plagued it for hundreds of years.


    Boom!


    No sooner had the Immortal Peach Tree advanced than the thunderous sea above Xiao Nanshan roared once again.


    A silver bolt of lightning, resembling a slender serpent, formed amidst the golden thunderous sea.

 Chapter 1155 - Chapter 1155 Chapter 636 Double Happiness - 2

    Chapter 1155: Chapter 636 Double Happiness ¨C 2 Chapter 1155: Chapter 636 Double Happiness ¨C 2 But in just an instant, it was annihilated by the vast golden lightning.


    Clearly, compared to the heavenly tribulation of the Soul Nourishing Wood, the tribulation of the Immortal Peach Tree was not worth mentioning.


    However, this scene also made Chen Mobai nod again and again in approval.


    Elder Ming¡¯s guess was not wrong; the heavenly tribulations of the two spirit plants were indeed mutually restraining.


    Silver bolts of lightning flickered and emerged within the golden sea of thunder, although they didn¡¯t last long before being engulfed and disappearing.


    But their relentless, continuous generation was undeniable!


    Soon, the originally terrifying golden sea of thunder in the sky visibly contracted, and was still shrinking.


    The golden lightning that had been striking towards the shadow side of the slope was also gradually thinning out, providing the Soul Nourishing Wood, which was already nearing its limit, a much-needed respite.


    Elder Ming immediately directed all the Yin Qi of the Huangquan from the small Underworld into the Soul Nourishing Wood, and the dense spiritual energy, nearly liquid in form, misting in the surrounding void, was frenziedly ingested by the somewhat withered dark yellow spirit flower.


    Compared to the hardworking Soul Nourishing Wood undergoing tribulation, the Immortal Peach Tree was in a state of bliss.


    Its tribulation had hardly commenced before being assimilated by the golden sea of thunder, posing no threat whatsoever.


    Under Zhuo Ming¡¯s guidance through All Things Spiritual Communication, the Immortal Peach Tree slowly adapted to its large trunk, familiar yet foreign, after its level-up.


    Its roots rapidly expanded dozens of meters underground in an instant, once again piercing through the Tai Sui entity before causing the millions of spirit stones buried within the spirit vein to shatter apart.


    The already Third Rank Peak spirit vein, following the action of the Immortal Peach Tree, broke through directly to fourth-grade lower class.


    However, the formidable spiritual energy released by the scattering of millions of spirit stones caused Xiao Nanshan to tremble continuously, with the mountain top seeming as if it could barely withstand the strain.


    Zhuo Ming placed her All-things Altruistic Cauldron in front of the wooden house, at the highest peak, to suppress the spirit vein.


    She also used the divine skills of All Things Spiritual Communication to direct the Immortal Peach Tree to stabilize the earth and rocks with its roots, and to display its talent for organizing the earth¡¯s veins to suppress and guide the spirit vein.


    Gradually, the tremors of Xiao Nanshan began to subside, and the massive spiritual energy released from the scattering of millions of spirit stones was dispersed by Zhuo Ming using the Immortal Peach Tree into the surrounding Ting Shan Miao Shan and other areas where they lived, as well as into the thousands of mu of spirit fields they had cultivated.


    As time went on, all these spirit fields would be able to upgrade to Rank-2.


    And the three disciples would also be able to have Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings for cultivation.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, well done!¡±


    After performing the Grand Spell of Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, Chen Mobai had been observing from the side.


    Zhuo Ming, his disciple, had indeed not disappointed him; with this upgrade of the Immortal Peach Tree, she had directly propelled Xiao Nanshan and the surrounding spirit fields into a great leap forward.


    Even if Chen Mobai had personally taken charge, he could not have accomplished this extent.


    Because Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Master skills had also reached Rank-3, and due to the integration of the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak heritages, her level was even above that of Ma Gang.


    It was just a pity that when they eradicated Mountain Shaker Peak, they hadn¡¯t obtained the core Earth Master Heritage of that lineage.


    He wondered if the remnants of the Restoration Society possessed the Rank-4 Earth Master Heritage.


    Seeing Zhuo Ming¡¯s outstanding performance, Chen Mobai felt even more that her talent should not be wasted.


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Master¡¯s teaching; it¡¯s just a pity I didn¡¯t fully succeed,¡± said Zhuo Ming, pale-faced, leaning against the Immortal Peach Tree, wiping sweat from her brow.


    After all, she was only at the Foundation Building Realm, and it was still somewhat strenuous to fully guide the upgrading of the spirit veins for Xiao Nanshan and the nearby thousand mu of spirit fields.


    Even with the aid of the All-things Altruistic Cauldron and the Immortal Peach Tree, the peripheral hundred mu of spirit fields did not benefit from this wave of spiritual energy.


    But Chen Mobai felt that this was also good, after all, there was a need for Rank-1 spirit fields to plant Rank-1 Spirit Rice for comparative experiments.


    They couldn¡¯t possibly go outside Xiao Nanshan to plant experimental fields.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming showed a look of realization and stopped thinking about the matter.


    At this time, only the last ripples remained of the golden sea of thunder in the sky.


    After a sudden, intense tremor and roar, it completely dissipated.


    At this moment, the sky over Xiao Nanshan was clear and cloudless, resembling a pure sapphire without any impurities, utterly clear and clean.


    As the sunlight sprinkled down, the grass and fresh flowers on the mountain began to perk up after being wilted by the Heavenly Tribulation, decorating the land.


    Chen Mobai, however, had no mood to watch this scene; he took Zhuo Ming and flew to the back of the mountain.


    ¡°Master, we succeeded!¡±


    Luo Yixuan stood beside the Soul Nourishing Wood, which now bloomed with dark yellow flowers, and with a smile relayed the words that allowed Chen Mobai to fully relax.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s really good¡­¡±


    In the midst of Chen Mobai¡¯s laughter, he saw Zhou Shengqing¡¯s nearly tangible phantom emerge from the Soul Nourishing Wood, thanking him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I really owe you and the two junior disciples this time.¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhou, you¡¯re too kind. The three of us are deeply indebted to our sect, and it is our undeniable duty to serve.¡±


    As they conversed, another streak of Spiritual Light flew from the horizon, it was Fu Zongjue.


    Although he had guessed the success from the traces of the Heavenly Tribulation,


    the sight of the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood still made him burst into uncontrollable laughter. With this, even if more than a hundred years passed, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s soul wouldn¡¯t dissipate and would only do so after his lifespan was exhausted.


    ¡°Brother, now we only lack the Cultivation Technique for the Legal Body Nascent Soul, and the recipe for refining the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.¡±


    ¡°Alas, those two items are as difficult to attain as reaching the heavens.¡±


    Yet Zhou Shengqing sighed, to be honest, just having the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood made him feel extremely fortunate.


    ¡°The ingredients for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water are already being collected by the sect. Because this Alchemy Recipe is so important, we dare not announce it widely and are incorporating it quietly into various other recipes.¡±


    ¡°The ingredients available in the Living World will be collected sooner or later. Among them is the main ingredient, the Rank-4 Revitalizing Yang Grass, which the sect happens to have.¡±


    ¡°Now all that¡¯s left are the main and auxiliary ingredients that grow only on the Yellow Springs Path.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Luo Yixuan immediately volunteered to enter the Yellow Springs Path to gather them.


    ¡°Everything else is negotiable, but the Other Shore Flower and the Nine Dragon Cassia, even precious in the Underworld, are mostly in the hands of those Rank-4 Ghost Kings. We¡¯ll probably have to travel to the very end of the Yellow Springs Path and enter the true Underworld to find them¡­¡±


    Elder Ming immediately materialized her phantom to speak, to prevent her host, Luo Yixuan, from recklessly plunging into the end of the Yellow Springs Path.


    ¡°When there¡¯s news about the Cultivation Technique for the Legal Body Nascent Soul, then we can start preparing the ingredients for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water. Otherwise, if stored for too long, it will affect the medicinal potency.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing took the initiative to speak, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want Luo Yixuan to enter the dangerous place like the Yellow Springs Path again, so he readily agreed.


    ¡°Hahaha, today is doubly joyful; coincidentally, my Small Southern Mountain Spiritual Vein has leveled up. Why not hold a grand feast right here?¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Fu Zongjue to stay, and the latter did not decline. It was just unfortunate that Zhou Shengqing, only in soul form, couldn¡¯t eat anything.


    Zhuo Ming immediately went to prepare fresh ingredients.


    Luo Yixuan stayed at the place where the Soul Nourishing Wood underwent its tribulation, ready to deal with all the remaining Huangquan Yin Qi.


    Chen Mobai specifically took out the Rank-3 Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice that Zhuo Ming had cultivated. Different from the crisp taste of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, it made Fu Zongjue nod in approval, eating three large bowls.


    ¡°Junior brother, I never expected you could cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice with the method of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. It¡¯s a pity the yield is so small, but being scarce is also good, too much might attract the covetousness of the three major factions of the East Barbarians.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhou Shengqing, who could only watch enviously, was also very moved. This method of cultivating Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was originally auctioned from the East Barbarians by him, who would have thought that what wasn¡¯t achieved even at the peak of the Five Elements Sect would be accomplished by Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°That¡¯s why we need Brother Zhou to achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid if this disciple figures out how to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice, our Divine Wood Sect won¡¯t be able to protect itself!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s statement caused Zhuo Ming, who was grilling fish on the side, to lower his head with some embarrassment.


    Zhou Shengqing looked at Chen Mobai, who was being urged to drink by Fu Zongjue, and Luo Yixuan, who came flying over to help prepare sobering tea after dealing with the Huangquan Yin Qi, as well as Zhuo Ming who, though not particularly beautiful, seemed favored by the vast mountains and earth, and felt a sense of solid reliability he had never experienced before.


    With these people, even if he died now, the Divine Wood Sect would develop better and better!

 Chapter 1156 - Chapter 1156 Chapter 637 Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree (15200

    Chapter 1156: Chapter 637: Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree (15,200 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Chapter 1156: Chapter 637: Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree (15,200 Monthly Votes Additional Release) ¡°Xuan¡¯er, you take four Immortal Peach Fruits.¡±


    After Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing left Xiao Nanshan, only the three of them, mentor and disciples, remained. Chen Mobai looked at the basket full of peaches in Zhuo Ming¡¯s hands and pointed for her to pick some for herself.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Luo Yixuan had long been coveting the Immortal Peach Fruits, but because of her special physical condition before, she needed to suppress her cultivation progress, so Chen Mobai had not allowed her to take them.


    Now that she was already considered a Golden Core Cultivator and had Elder Ming¡¯s External Incarnation as a backup, even if her Spiritual Power were to suddenly break through to the Golden Core Realm, she would be able to control it.


    So, there was no problem with consuming the Immortal Peach Fruits.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you take another two.¡±


    Zhuo Ming had previously consumed two, and the effect of taking more would be greatly reduced, but who was to say no when there were plenty of peach fruits now.


    Chen Mobai would certainly give priority to his own disciples.


    ¡°Master, what about the eldest senior brother?¡±


    Zhuo Ming picked one and then asked another question.


    ¡°Wen Bo¡¯s foundational talent isn¡¯t as good as you two, so I had him polish his Spiritual Power and solidify his foundation to avoid failure due to these hidden issues when he forms his Core later on. But now the time is almost right, you let him know later to come and take four as well.¡±


    Liu Wen Bo has been at the Early Foundation Stage for nearly twenty years, he always listens to Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Over the years, he has been diligent in handling affairs and cultivation, and he encountered a bottleneck two years ago. After grinding for two years, it¡¯s time for him to have a breakthrough.


    ¡°And the junior brother, he has only consumed two as well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming asked again, her demeanor increasingly resembling that of a family elder.


    ¡°When he comes over at the end of the year, give him two as well. I leave this task to you,¡± he said.


    Although consuming the fifth Immortal Peach Fruit can still increase 1 drop of Liquid Spiritual Power, it can no longer grow the Spiritual Roots, so Chen Mobai did not wish to waste it excessively.


    Giving four each to every disciple was just perfect!


    Moreover, Zhuo Ming had already communicated with the newly advanced Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree, which would take thirty years to mature its Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits.


    In the case that it doesn¡¯t affect the nutrition of Rank-4 peach fruits, the Immortal Peach Tree can mature an additional Rank-3 peach fruit each year.


    Moreover, with the assistance of Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Qi of All Things and Tai Sui juice, this pace could be further accelerated.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how effective the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits would be for him, as this was the first documented Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree in the entire history of the Eastern Wilderness.


    So he was quite looking forward to it.


    ¡°Master, what about the other seven?¡±


    Zhuo Ming counted the peach fruits in the bamboo basket and asked again.


    These things could only be preserved for a few years after being picked. If not consumed, she could make wine with them, but it would still be best if consumed by cultivators.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take one for my nephew Gu Yan, and you can send one to your junior sister Qing Mei. Hang the remaining five in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, priced at five thousand Spirit Stones or contributions, to give the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners a little motivation.¡±


    The latter half of Chen Mobai¡¯s words confused Zhuo Ming somewhat, while Luo Yixuan understood, but her attention was all on the first half of the statement.


    Gu Yan, Yin Qingmei!


    She silently repeated the names of these two individuals in her heart. During the ten years she was trapped in Huangquan, these two had occupied the position that rightfully belonged to her.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai was at Xiao Nanshan, all who served, gifted, and handled affairs were her!


    ¡­


    During this period, the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect were all discussing the event of Sect Master Chen¡¯s Immortal Peach Tree advancing and transcending heavenly tribulation.


    Even though they were now considered the foremost great sect of the Eastern Wilderness, for many disciples, witnessing a Heavenly Tribulation was a first-time experience.


    Amidst the admiration and exclamation of the crowd, they were also inquiring about that Immortal Peach Tree.


    ¡°According to the head of the Spirit Plant Department, only Spirit Plants of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots calibre would invoke such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation when advancing to Rank-4.¡±


    ¡°This Immortal Peach Tree was personally transplanted by Sect Master Chen from Black Cloud Mountain after his Core Formation, if it weren¡¯t a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, the Sect Master definitely wouldn¡¯t have been interested!¡±


    ¡°May I ask this senior brother, what¡¯s so special about this Immortal Peach Tree that made the Sect Master go to such great lengths, mobilizing the Sect¡¯s resources to assist in its advancement?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know much else, but I heard from a true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department that consuming one of the fruits from that tree can increase a Foundation Establishment Practitioner¡¯s Liquid Spiritual Power by twenty drops. You should know, some practitioners in the early stages of Foundation Establishment with a weak base have only about that much Spiritual Power in total.¡±


    While the Qi Practitioners were discussing fervently, many of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners could no longer sit still.


    They discovered that the Spirit Treasure Pavilion had suddenly listed five Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits for sale.


    They had heard about this Immortal Peach Tree when it was in the hands of Yuan Hongyuan. Sadly, due to the low Level of the Spirit Vein at Black Cloud Mountain, it was difficult for the tree to bear fruit. Yuan Hongyuan always considered it a treasure and only sold it at a few private trade events.


    And now that it had successfully matured under Chen Mobai¡¯s care and after it had been distributed among his four disciples and his foster daughter and maid, there were still five surplus fruits.


    Because of the Peach Tree¡¯s tribulation, virtually all cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect knew of the Immortal Peach Fruits¡¯ effects.


    So practically every cultivator who was earnest about their cultivation wanted to exchange for one.


    After all, these Immortal Peach Fruits are completely natural and come without the concern of pill toxicity.


    Especially those practitioners who are stuck in bottlenecks, they all wanted to use this opportunity to have a breakthrough.


    Even though five thousand Spirit Stones was a lot, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect have accumulated quite a fortune over the years through several battles, and those who survived basically all had a substantial wealth.


    ¡°`


    Moreover, this Immortal Peach Fruit could be exchanged using both Sect Contribution and Spirit Stone Contributions, allowing every Foundation Establishment Practitioner to exchange for one.


    As a result, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who received the news almost broke down the doors of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yi, I¡¯ve already registered you, and as soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately,¡±


    The rotating Elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion this month was Liang Lingzhen from the Reward Virtue Hall. He courteously registered the head of the Formation Division, Yi Shaoqing, in a book and then said his goodbyes.


    ¡°Junior Brother Liang, isn¡¯t everything in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion supposed to be on a first-come-first-served basis? Why is it now like this?¡±


    Yi Shaoqing didn¡¯t understand, but Liang Lingzhen smiled and explained.


    He said the Immortal Peach Fruit was precious and that the Sect Leader, delighted by the peach tree¡¯s level up, offered it to ensure that all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Sect had a chance to exchange for it.


    So it was also necessary to give Cultivators outside the Sect a chance.


    After all, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding in the six nations and Yun Meng Ze would surely receive the news much later than those inside the Giant Tree Ridge, and they had to wait for them.


    ¡°But there are only five Immortal Peach Fruits, and there isn¡¯t a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire Sect who doesn¡¯t want one. In the end, who will they be exchanged with?¡±


    Yi Shaoqing quickly pointed out the problem and asked.


    However, Liang Lingzhen fell silent at that moment.


    As the head of the Formation Division, Yi Shaoqing quickly caught on and looked up at the sky with a sudden realization on his face.


    After he understood, he no longer asked any more questions. He bid farewell to Liang Lingzhen and left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, then immediately sought ways to visit Chen Mobai.


    But all visitors were blocked by Gu Yan.


    She said that Sect Master Chen was at a critical juncture in his Cultivation Technique practice and was in closed-door cultivation.


    After hearing this, Yi Shaoqing could only fist-palm salute the spiritually clear and graceful Junior Sister before him and reluctantly turn to leave.


    Gu Yan knew well why the head of the Formation Division had come.


    He was the fifth department-level upper-echelon Sect member to try. Aside from him, even the Vice Hall Masters from the other two halls had come to visit the day after the Immortal Peach Fruit was put on the shelf.


    Subconsciously, she touched her Storage Bag, which contained an Immortal Peach Fruit given to her by Chen Mobai.


    When she first accepted it, although she knew that a gift from a Golden Core Cultivator wouldn¡¯t be ordinary, she didn¡¯t expect it to be this precious.


    Only when she saw the Vice Hall Masters and department heads, apart from the Golden Core Cultivators, jostling for the Immortal Peach Fruit did she realize it was even more precious than she had imagined.


    At that moment, Gu Yan was overjoyed to be a direct descendant of the Sect Leader.


    After stopping Yi Shaoqing, Gu Yan hurried to continue refining Longevity Tree Sap.


    She was well aware that this was key to establishing herself in the Sect Leader¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo.


    But soon, Gu Yan found she simply didn¡¯t have the time.


    Because the Foundation Establishment Cultivators outside the Sect, after hearing about the Immortal Peach Fruit, had all found excuses to return.


    After registering at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, many of them realized they needed Sect Master Chen¡¯s approval to exchange for it.


    However, to their credit, they didn¡¯t all rush over at once.


    They came one by one.


    This situation troubled the gatekeeping Gu Yan; every time she was halfway through refining the Longevity Tree Sap, someone would knock at the door.


    Although she was now officially a maid to Chen Mobai, and was highly respected, Gu Yan wasn¡¯t the type to bully others with her status. Moreover, as one of the latest Foundation Establishment members in the Sect, each visitor was a senior to her and deserved respect.


    While Gu Yan was troubled, Yin Qingmei was pleasantly surprised to receive the Immortal Peach Fruit from Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Senior Sister Yin, this was brought to you by our Master. He said that you had expended all your Spiritual Power practicing the Grand Spells and were somewhat weakened so you could use this fruit to replenish yourself,¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Junior Sister Zhuo,¡±


    Although Yin Qingmei had been diligently practicing the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture on Qingdai Mountain, the recent signs of Heavenly Tribulation in South Mountain had alarmed her. She later inquired with those from the Penalty Evil Hall and learned about the Immortal Peach Tree and the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    Even as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she coveted such rare and exotic fruits. After the Immortal Peach Fruit was put on sale at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, she immediately went to register.


    She had even thought about secretly asking her foster father to exchange one of the fruits for her, but as it turned out, he had already arranged it.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader¡­¡±


    After receiving the bright red Immortal Peach Fruit from Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei held it with both hands and bowed respectfully in the direction of the Longevity Wood where Chen Mobai was, grateful that her foster father was so good to her and determined not to let him down!


    After discussing some points on consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit, Zhuo Ming said her goodbyes and left.


    Soon after, some heavyweight Foundation Establishment Practitioners finally returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    They were King Zhou¡¯s E Yun and others who were defending the six nations, along with Xie Yuntian, Kou Canzhi, and other powerful department heads stationed in Yun Meng Ze!


    However, they too didn¡¯t get past Gu Yan. Chen Mobai maintained the appearance of fairness, treating everyone equally.

    In this group, E Yun was quite composed, spending his days either drinking tea in his courtyard or catching up with old friends like Yue Zutao.


    On the other hand, King Zhou, knowing he wasn¡¯t a direct descendant of Chen Mobai, was somewhat uneasy.


    He had his niece inquire with those closest to Sect Master Chen.


    ¡°Senior Sister Zhuo, it¡¯s been a long time,¡±


    Zhou Bingyan, on behalf of King Zhou, came to visit Zhuo Ming in South Mountain.

 Chapter 1157 - Chapter 1157 Chapter 638 Heterodox Golden Core Goes on Sale

    Chapter 1157: Chapter 638: Heterodox Golden Core Goes on Sale (16,000 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1157: Chapter 638: Heterodox Golden Core Goes on Sale (16,000 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chen Mobai saw that most of the people had already arrived, so he announced the end of his seclusion.


    He had long since decided on the list of cultivators eligible to exchange for the five Immortal Peach Fruits. The reason he made such a big deal out of it was to give the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect some motivation.


    After all, once the positions in the higher ranks of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were fixed, it could be decades or even a century before any vacancies arose. This led many Foundation Establishment practitioners to be indifferent towards other matters of the sect, focusing only on their personal cultivation.


    It was only during times when the sect mobilized for a major battle that, out of duty, they reluctantly heeded the call of the Nascent Soul ancestors and took action.


    Chen Mobai was well aware that this was due to the lack of upward mobility.


    Therefore, after becoming Sect Leader, he had always been contemplating how to solve this problem.


    The town guard positions for the six nations and the corresponding roles in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were his attempt at a solution.


    The effect was fairly satisfactory, but to meet the increasing needs of the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners, it still wasn¡¯t enough.


    However, Chen Mobai, with experience from the Immortal Gate, was very clear that for cultivators, the allure of rising in cultivation level was far stronger than that of ascending in rank.


    Yet in the Divine Wood Sect, items that could truly tempt Foundation Establishment cultivators were few and far between.


    Things like the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill could not be refined in large quantities every ten years the way Foundation Building Pills could.


    Other elixirs that could enhance cultivation level were also taken less frequently by Foundation Establishment practitioners, following Chen Mobai¡¯s informative guidance.


    Instead, there was a growing demand for barrier-breaking elixirs.


    Besides that, high-grade Spirit Rice had become another favorite among the Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    The demand for Green Jade Spirit Rice of the intermediate grade or lower rank of Rank-2 could no longer satisfy the needs of the Divine Wood Sect monks.


    They began to pursue Spirit Rice of intermediate grade or even higher grade, Rank-2.


    Most of this Spirit Rice was controlled by the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, and Chen Mobai did not overcharge the sect¡¯s Spirit Stones for it, basically offering it at market price.


    The Spirit Treasure Pavilion would put up a batch of this Spirit Rice for sale every year, causing the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners to scramble for it.


    But compared to the commotion caused by the Immortal Peach Fruit throughout the entire sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment community, this Spirit Rice was barely worth mentioning.


    After Chen Mobai ended his seclusion, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion quickly announced the cultivators who had qualified for the exchange for the five Immortal Peach Fruits.


    E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, Quan Shanlin, Luo Xue¡¯er, Xie Yuntian!


    Although the majority of the Foundation Establishment practitioners were disappointed with the list of these five names, none of them had any objections.


    After all, two were Vice Hall Masters, one was a Sword Training Division Head who was tacitly acknowledged as the leader among the Twelve Divisions, plus two of the strongest with the deepest backing as town guards.


    Actually, many had already guessed these five names beforehand.


    But upon seeing the names officially listed, some of the more extreme-thinking Foundation Establishment practitioners in the sect were even more resentful.


    As expected, whenever there was any valuable object, the sect would still only favor those at the upper ranks of Foundation Establishment.


    As for them, mere ordinary Foundation Establishment practitioners, there was no chance for them to stand out in the sect.


    However, even with grievances in their hearts, no one dared to question the list determined by Chen Mobai, whose authority was paramount within the sect.


    Many Foundation Establishment practitioners who had rushed back from outside the sect felt extremely let down at this time.


    Just as they were disheartened and preparing to leave, they discovered that two new items had been added to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion¡¯s exchange catalog!


    On closer inspection, their bodies shook with excitement!


    Some less resilient Foundation Establishment practitioners nearly fainted on the spot.


    The two items were: a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit (one matures every year on Xiao Nanshan, which can be reserved in advance, with preference given to those with high contributions to the sect) and a Heterodox Golden Core (available for exchange by those who have made significant contributions to the sect).


    After seeing these two newly listed items, all those in the Divine Wood Sect who had not managed to exchange for an Immortal Peach Fruit forgot their initial disappointment and indignation.


    They all rushed to the rotational duty elder, Liang Lingzhen, inquiring eagerly about the specific meanings behind the notes for these two items.


    Even the five who had just exchanged for the Immortal Peach Fruits stopped in their tracks, exchanged glances, and stared intently at the Heterodox Golden Core.


    Unfortunately, they were all well-informed, aware that this Heterodox Golden Core was water-attributed. Among those present, only Luo Xue was suitable.


    ¡°Congratulations, Junior Sister Luo,¡± said Quan Shanlin first, addressing Luo Xue, who was excited but still maintaining her composure.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing really. My cultivation level is only at the late phase of Foundation Establishment, and the Heterodox Golden Core requires great contributions for exchange. I never took to the battlefield in the major battles, so I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be possible¡­,¡± Luo Xue demurred, though she was already extremely excited inside.


    Everyone had assumed that Chen Mobai would keep cherishing this Heterodox Golden Core as a treasure for his own disciple.


    Although Luo Xue, following Meng Hong, had also hoped for it, when she actually saw the possibility, she dared not believe it was true.


    ¡°After we consume the Immortal Peach Fruits, we will almost reach Foundation Establishment Completion as well. By then, you will be the only one fitting the attributes of this Heterodox Golden Core. If not you, then who else would it be for?¡±


    Xie Yuntian spoke with emotion. Among the five who had exchanged for the Immortal Peach Fruits this time, other than E Yun and Zhou Wangshen from the younger generation, the three of them were regarded as among the best in the Divine Wood Sect, second only to Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu.


    He was only a hair¡¯s breadth away from the perfection of Foundation Establishment.


    This time, Chen Mobai had given them recognition for the hundreds of years of service the three had dedicated to the sect.


    Of course, there was also a desire to maintain a balanced distribution of power within the sect, at all levels: top, middle, and bottom.


    After all, once Meng Hong refined the Heterodox Golden Core, Divine Wood Sect only had Chu Zuoshu at the completion of Foundation Establishment, which was somewhat insufficient for the leading sect of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Three more would be just right.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader intended to give it to me, he would definitely have notified me in advance, instead of listing it in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and specifically noting that it¡¯s for those who¡¯ve made significant contributions to the sect,¡±


    But Luo Xue¡¯er had come to understand Chen Mobai very well over the years, after all, she had been his subordinate when he was establishing his foundation.


    After Chen Mobai formed his core, besides being the Sect Leader, he was also the Head of the Reward Virtue Hall, her direct superior.


    Having worked together for over thirty years, Luo Xue¡¯er knew that Chen Mobai was ambitious and profound and would not act without good reason.


    For instance, with the distribution of the Immortal Peach Fruit, he could have directly notified the five of them, but instead, he let the entire sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment cultivators know before announcing the list.


    She had only now come to fully understand the deeper implication.


    The Sect Leader wanted to use the annual Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit to stimulate the enthusiasm of all Foundation Establishment practitioners in the sect.


    Then, what was the Sect Leader¡¯s intention with the other new addition to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the Heterodox Golden Core?


    Although Luo Xue¡¯er couldn¡¯t figure it out, she knew this was the greatest chance for her own Core Formation!


    If she failed to seize it, she would never be able to form her core in this lifetime!


    She immediately bid farewell to Qu Shanlin and Xie Yuntian and returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo.


    After knocking on the door, as usual, it was Gu Yan who came to meet her.


    However, just as she was anxious about possibly being rejected again, Gu Yan led her inside directly.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Following Gu Yan into the wooden hut, Luo Xue¡¯er saw Chen Mobai playing with a feather that had a gold tip, a black shaft, and black down. She immediately paid her respects.


    ¡°Ruo Xue¡¯er has already acquired the Immortal Peach Fruit, shouldn¡¯t you first go and consume it to refine its effects? Why have you come here?¡±


    The item Chen Mobai was toying with was the main ingredient of a Gold Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill, a Black Crow Golden Feather; at his feet lay a palm-sized piece of Fire Dragon Tree Ganoderma.


    These main ingredients had long been sent over by Qu XiuXian of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, but Chen Mobai had been occupied with raising the rank of the Soul Nourishing Wood and the Immortal Peach Tree, so he put them aside for the time being.


    He had been in seclusion previously to test the properties of these two Spiritual Medicines to ensure they were sufficient for refining the Gold Crow Sun-Swallowing Pill.


    Indeed, the items from the Tianhe Realm were exceptional.


    Both of these Spiritual Objects had highly potent medicinal properties.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, after I exchanged for the Immortal Peach Fruit, I saw the newly listed Heterodox Golden Core in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. I deeply desire it, but I¡¯m not sure how to meet the criteria of making a significant contribution to the sect?¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t dare waste Chen Mobai¡¯s time and immediately stated her purpose for visiting.


    ¡°I see, indeed, within our sect, you are the most suitable candidate for that Heterodox Golden Core!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a look of sudden realization.


    He really hadn¡¯t expected Luo Xue¡¯er to come for that, having only intended to list that item in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to provide the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners with an added incentive to strive harder.


    ¡°Niece Luo, let¡¯s discuss this matter after you reach the completion of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    After Chen Mobai said this, Luo Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t dare to ask further and promptly paid her respects before leaving, following Gu Yan out of the hut.


    In fact, Chen Mobai¡¯s idea was that if anyone within the sect reached the completion of Foundation Establishment and was ready for Core Formation with a hundred thousand merit points, like Zhou Shengqing before, he would let Yan Shaoyin go refine a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill for them.


    With the Heterodox Golden Core, attempting Core Formation would result in either life or death; Chen Mobai believed Luo Xue¡¯er would surely not risk her life to form her core if she had the option of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    However, as the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s highest secret concerning Core Formation, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t going to reveal it to Luo Xue¡¯er just yet.


    But on second thought, Qu Shanlin and Xie Yuntian have both taken part in several major battles over the years, risking their lives for the Divine Wood Sect and making substantial contributions.


    In comparison, although Luo Xue¡¯er, who provided logistical support within the sect was also considered to have made substantial contributions in his eyes, when it came to merit, she indeed fell short of the other two.


    If he gave her the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, it might be difficult to justify to the rest of the sect.


    Chen Mobai held a favorable impression of his deputy; she had played no small part in managing the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s resources during difficult times following the war, and after all, she was also his direct disciple.

    It appeared he needed to arrange a significant contribution for her!


    After considering for a moment, Chen Mobai thought of the eligible parties for next year¡¯s Immortal Peach Fruit exchange and already had a plan in mind.


    ¡­


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, after a period of registration, next year¡¯s mature Immortal Peach Fruit was reserved for an unexpectedly chosen Foundation Establishment practitioner.


    Town Guard of Rainbow Country, Yan Yuanhao.

 Chapter 1158 - Chapter 1158 Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain

    Chapter 1158: Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain Chapter 1158: Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for your profound affection!¡±


    Inside the wooden hut, Yan Yuanhao made a special trip to thank Chen Mobai, who naturally encouraged him and acknowledged his dedication to sand control in Rainbow Country over the years.


    ¡°Next, our sect may need to start comprehensively developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau and sand control projects. By then, as a pioneer, you will have even more hardships to endure.¡±


    Chen Mobai had originally planned to wait until the Divine Wood Sect united the Eastern Wilderness before considering this grand project.


    But after further contemplation, he realized that such a super project, which would take decades or even a century to show results, would be perfectly timed if Zhuo Ming got involved now. By the time the project was completed, her cultivation level could have reached Foundation Establishment Completion.


    When the merit came down, perhaps his disciple would have an instant epiphany and achieve the Gold Core, without any delay in time.


    Moreover, his reluctance to let Zhuo Ming go before stemmed from the concern that without his protection, his precious disciple would be targeted by his or the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s enemies in the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    But now that Luo Yixuan had reached Core Formation, and couldn¡¯t expose her cultivation level for a while, sending her and Zhuo Ming to the Eastern Desolation Plateau to undertake this heaven-and-earth-changing super project seemed quite fitting.


    With Elder Ming, an experienced external incarnation, by their side, even if they encountered the Golden Core Cultivator from the Nanxuan Sect, they would stand a fighting chance.


    Beyond this, he also intended for the two disciples to investigate the Restoration Society.


    To see if they could use them to draw out the so-called Chairman of the Restoration Society.


    Of course, to ensure the safety of his two disciples, Chen Mobai planned to give Luo Yixuan the Fourth-grade Moonlight Blade. With this, unless they encountered someone as tough as him, his two disciples could walk horizontally across the Eastern Desolation Plateau!


    ¡°Just command me, Master, and I shall comply gladly,¡± replied Yan Yuanhao with a solemn nod, knowing that Zhuo Ming alone could not complete such a super project to change heaven and earth.


    In the past ten years, Yan Yuanhao had carried out Chen Mobai¡¯s will in the harshest environments of Rainbow Country, steadfastly pursuing sand control to his great satisfaction.


    As a result, he reserved next year¡¯s Immortal Peach Fruit for him as a reward.


    Through this event, Yan Yuanhao could be considered as one of Chen Mobai¡¯s own lineages.


    After Yan Yuanhao left, Chen Mobai called Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan over and informed them about the matter.


    Zhuo Ming was both excited and anxious.


    She certainly wished to reach Core Formation, but she also feared she might not perform well and disappoint Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, your cultivation extends beyond the bounds of Xiao Nanshan to the vastness of heaven and earth. Although I can protect you for a lifetime, I also hope that one day you will break free from my wings and soar through the skies on your own.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s earnest words, Zhuo Ming finally made up her mind and nodded resolutely.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er, the safety of your senior sister will be your responsibility,¡± Chen Mobai said to Luo Yixuan, who naturally agreed, though she felt somewhat melancholic inside.


    She had finally reunited with her master for a few years and had just formed her Ghost Pill; she truly didn¡¯t want to leave.


    But with Chen Mobai¡¯s personal request, she could only obediently nod her head.


    ¡°This Moonlight Blade, like my Purple Electric Sword, is a fourth-grade magical weapon. I bestow it upon you for protection!¡±


    Luo Yixuan, who had been feeling a touch of emotion, instantly became overjoyed upon receiving the Moonlight Blade.


    This was a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon!


    In the entire Divine Wood Sect, even Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, the two Golden Core Cultivators, did not have one!


    Master actually bestowed it upon me!


    Indeed, I am the one Master values and favors the most!


    While Luo Yixuan was thinking this, she completely failed to notice Elder Ming¡¯s shadow trembling slightly beneath her feet.


    ¡°There is one more thing, developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau and managing the desert will require a large amount of water resources.¡±


    ¡°Although Xuan¡¯er has reached Core Formation and can perform large-scale Rainfall Techniques, she shouldn¡¯t reveal her cultivation level. Moreover, human effort cannot compare with the natural forces of heaven and earth. Hence, I am planning to assign Luo Xue¡¯er to go as well.¡±


    ¡°Her cultivation of the Heavenly Waterfall Technique is very suitable for opening up large rivers. If she can draw water from Cloud Dream Marsh to irrigate Sky Country, Rock Country, Rainbow Country, she may also share in the merit, and have hopes for reaching Core Formation in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai explained his plans one by one to Zhuo Ming, who took careful note of each detail.

    After all, the task she was to undertake in the northern part of Eastern Wilderness was unprecedented in the history of this world, with no prior experience to rely on, so she could only proceed by holding on to Chen Mobai¡¯s principles and exploring the way forward.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s also the matter you mentioned before about irrigating with water from the Snow Mountains. After Sister Xue Ting returned, it seems she was arranged by the Snow-blowing Palace to cultivate high mountain Spirit Fields in Frost Country. I might negotiate with her to see if we can purchase Frost Country¡¯s abundant snow water resources with Spirit Stones,¡± Zhuo Ming suggested.


    Zhuo Ming liked taking notes a lot. She wrote down everything Chen Mobai had said about changing the world, without forgetting a single detail.


    ¡°Even if you two juniors reached an agreement, I doubt it would be taken seriously. I will personally discuss it with Kong Lingling. I¡¯m sure she will give me that much face,¡± Chen Mobai said, knowing the awkward position Xue Ting held in the Snow-blowing Palace. Even if the Snow Mountain Water helped the palace earn Spirit Stones, suspicions would arise that she had received benefits from the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Then I will leave it to you, Master!¡± Zhuo Ming expressed kindly after hearing this.

 Chapter 1159 - Chapter 1159 Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain_2

    Chapter 1159: Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain_2 Chapter 1159: Chapter 639 Undercover at Liu Jia Mountain_2 ¡°`


    The matters agreed upon by Nascent Soul Ancestors are the ones that people below take seriously.


    ¡°And there¡¯s Qing Mei, her Biyu Wutong is suitable for organizing Fire Veins, and the Rainbow Nation Desert is precisely a place with Fire Veins. If you want to treat the desert, with her help, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.¡±


    Chen Mobai also thought of another of his direct disciples; with Luo Yixuan¡¯s support, he could rest assured to send out this precious disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Furthermore, the merit of this super project of changing heaven and earth, Chen Mobai and his disciple certainly couldn¡¯t exhaust by themselves. Since they had to share the benefits, it was clear that they would consider their own people first.


    With the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and the Biyu Wutong, it¡¯s very possible for Yin Qingmei to reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Since she already called herself his foster daughter in private, it was natural for Chen Mobai to lend a hand and further cultivate her.


    And he had already promised her as well.


    He always kept his word.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go find Sister Yin later, as well as Vice Hall Master Luo¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming was greatly encouraged, and with the help of these two, she felt much more confident about the super project.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t revealed this matter to Niece Luo yet, you go find Qing Mei first,¡± said Chen Mobai. Zhuo Ming nodded, then took leave with Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°When you go, don¡¯t forget the disciple I found for you, put her through the harsh environment for training. If she can¡¯t endure hardship, then consider it her misfortune for not being blessed enough to have you as a mentor.¡±


    Chen Mobai had also discussed Han Zhiling¡¯s situation with Zhuo Ming. The Rainbow Country was abundant in Fire Vein spiritual energy, also suited for her cultivation.


    As a command of the teacher, Zhuo Ming naturally had no objections.


    Fortunately, Liu Wenbo was efficient in handling things, he had already found a disciple within the sect to replace her in watching over the Green Charm Spiritual Tree. So during this trip to consume the Immortal Peach Fruit, he also brought over Han Zhiling.


    Zhuo Ming was very impressed by this bright and beautiful young girl, and now she¡¯s arranging for her to use the Spirit Rice Book she compiled to go through the thousand acres of Spirit Fields on Xiao Nanshan, finding and learning to recognize them one by one.


    Han Zhiling also knew how rare this opportunity was, and she studied diligently, immersing herself day and night in the Spirit Fields.


    If she could make it through this ordeal, she would one day be the third-generation eldest disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage. She could also share a bit of the merit from this project of changing heaven and earth.


    After the two disciples left, Chen Mobai did not ask Gu Yan to call Luo Xue¡¯er over.


    After all, he had said he would wait until Luo Xue¡¯er reached the final stage of Foundation Establishment, and he was certainly going to maintain his repute of being resolute in his speech!


    Moreover, by having a subordinate actively seek him out, the tasks he assigned were approached with full enthusiasm and dedication.


    This way, she would feel that this was an opportunity she had worked hard for and must do well.


    Soon, E Yun and King Zhou completed the refining of the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    Both of them simply enhanced their spiritual power and didn¡¯t use the spirit fruit to break through to Foundation Establishment Completion like the other three; hence, they left seclusion soon after consolidating their gains.


    Their first priority was naturally to pay respects to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai also valued these two future pillars of the sect, and after encouraging them a few words, he also spoke to them about the focus of his upcoming attention.


    The two heard in full detail for the first time from Chen Mobai about the grand project of transforming the Eastern Desolation Plateau and the Boundless Sand Sea.


    After listening, they all showed looks of shock but also concern.


    After all, the Eastern Wilderness had always been associated with destruction, and never with construction!


    They worried that once the sect finally succeeded in improving the ecological environment, it might be easily destroyed by other powers.


    ¡°Whether the two of you can achieve Core Formation will depend on whether you can seize this opportunity for merit,¡± said Chen Mobai once again. After hearing this, E Yun and King Zhou looked at each other and nodded with determined expressions.


    ¡°As long as the two of us are on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, we will not let anyone destroy the grand vision of the Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai planned to use this grand project of changing heaven and earth to lay a profound foundation for the future of the Divine Wood Sect all at once.


    If lucky, apart from Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei, perhaps he could cultivate one or two more to reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    If so, if Zhou Shengqing or himself achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± then it would even be possible to consider completely taking over Yun Meng Ze and looking down on the adjacent regions.


    ¡°`


    E Yun and King Zhou immediately began to prepare manpower and resources after their departure.


    In the two years under the guidance of Chen Mobai, they had already tested many methods of cultivating Spirit Grass to improve the ecosystem. Once they had an abundance of Spirit Grass resources, they also tried breeding Spirit Cattle and Spirit Sheep rich in meat.


    If there were enough water resources, they could start promoting it on a large scale.


    That day, Chen Mobai arrived at Xiao Nanshan.


    It was because his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, had relied on three Immortal Peach Fruits to finally breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in both his water and wood cultivation techniques.


    This was a cause for celebration, so when he received the message, he also made the rare decision to leave seclusion.


    Sitting under the Immortal Peach Tree at the mountain¡¯s peak, Chen Mobai freely drank wine and guided Liu Wenbo on his future cultivation.


    Among his four disciples, this eldest disciple had the most ordinary talent, and every step in cultivation had to be correct in order to have a chance at reaching Core Formation. Therefore, as a mentor, he took this very seriously.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master. It¡¯s like receiving an empowerment, and I¡¯ve had an epiphany,¡± said Liu Wenbo sincerely.


    Liu Wenbo took a pot of Spiritual Wine that Han Zhiling had just brought up from the cellar at the foot of the mountain and poured some for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°In the future, when Ming¡¯er is handling affairs on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, if there is any demand on the logistics side, you should spare no efforts or resources to satisfy her needs,¡± instructed Chen Mobai.


    Liu Wenbo naturally complied with the instructions.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s another matter¡­¡±


    As Liu Wenbo started speaking, he noticed Han Zhiling standing by with a pot of wine, waiting prettily. He immediately switched to a whisper transmission to secretly pass on something about Song Huangdae to Chen Mobai.


    Indeed, it turned out that within the Divine Wood Sect, other cultivators were contacting Song Huangdae.


    However, because of Song Huangdae¡¯s low status, he could only unilaterally receive instructions.


    Liu Wenbo then thought about whether it was possible to raise Song Huangdae¡¯s status to draw the snake out of the hole, for example, by making the excuse that he appreciated his earnest efforts in Dragon Horn Trench and was serious about his work, wanting to take him on as an honorary disciple.


    With Han Zhiling¡¯s precedent, Liu Wenbo felt that it wouldn¡¯t arouse suspicion.


    Nevertheless, as the senior elder brother of the second-generation disciples from Xiao Nanshan, he still needed to report to Chen Mobai if he wanted to take on a disciple.


    ¡°You may proceed. Use my authority to secretly investigate the matter. Before your cover is blown, be careful not to leave any flaws,¡± Chen Mobai transmitted back.


    Liu Wenbo nodded solemnly upon receiving the secret message from Chen Mobai.


    When the incident involving the Immortal Peach Fruit had gradually calmed down within the Divine Wood Sect, another matter related to Xiao Nanshan erupted among all the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, fanning their emotions.


    That was Chen Mobai¡¯s eldest disciple taking a liking to an unknown Qi Cultivating, Seventh Layer sect practitioner and taking him as an honorary disciple.


    This person was named Song Huangdae!


    You should know the Immortal Peach Fruit was too high-end, and the ones vying for it were all Foundation Establishment Practitioners. For the vast majority of Qi Cultivating Disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, it was hard to empathize.


    But Liu Wenbo taking a disciple was a completely different matter.


    Even though it was just an honorary disciple and not officially entering the doors of Xiao Nanshan, it was still supreme glory.


    All Qi Cultivating Disciples wished that they could replace Song Huangdae and be noticed by Liu Wenbo.


    Upon hearing this news, Du Feng was also a bit surprised and put down the brush in his hand.


    He had been an undercover agent sent to the Five Elements Sect by Liu Jia Mountain over a hundred years ago. During the sect division, he was ordered by the old ancestor to choose the Divine Wood Sect, and after the internal conflict, he became a true disciple of the Talisman Making Department, obtaining a Foundation Building Pill.


    Unfortunately, his attempt at using the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Building Pill had failed. He had already planned to give up when the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Liu Jia Mountain heard about him and offered him another chance.


    After recovering from his injuries due to the failed Foundation Establishment, Du Feng excused himself with the discovery of a relic map and applied to leave the sect in search of it.

    At a spiritual land called Mount Tianpeng in Yun Country, he awaited the arrival of the sect¡¯s old ancestor, who then guided him personally. After taking a Foundation Building Pill from Liu Jia Mountain, he finally overcame the bottleneck and became a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    Upon his return to Giant Tree Ridge, Du Feng, now successful in Foundation Establishment, claimed he found a Storage Bag from a predeceasing senior¡¯s relic and obtained a Foundation Building Pill.


    In order to gain trust from the Divine Wood Sect, he surrendered the location of Mount Tianpeng following the instructions of the old ancestor of Liu Jia Mountain.


    Chu Zuoshu personally came to check and not only discovered the relic site but found a Rank-4 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.


    Since then, Du Feng has perfectly integrated into the Divine Wood Sect!

 Chapter 1160 - Chapter 1160 Chapter 640 Two Great Rivers

    Chapter 1160: Chapter 640 Two Great Rivers Chapter 1160: Chapter 640 Two Great Rivers Red Dawn Institution.


    Chen Mobai looked at the five freshly refined Gold Crow Swallowing Sun Pills in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.


    Although he had mastered the alchemy recipe using Enlightenment Tea, his alchemy skills were still somewhat lacking, producing only five pills on his first attempt.


    This was already due to the auspicious blessings of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram.


    Otherwise, Chen Mobai estimated that he would have succeeded in making only two or three pills.


    In the most outstanding Rank-4 workshop in Red Sandstone City, naturally, there was the most complete set of equipment available.


    After he placed the Gold Crow Swallowing Sun Pills on the device, a number of 3.58% appeared.


    This represented the content of Dan Poison.


    Even the addition of enough Spiritual Extract could not keep it below the standard set by the Immortal Gate.


    However, by the standards of Tianhe Realm, it passed.


    Armed with the Flame Lighting Technique and Green Charm Spiritual Tea, Chen Mobai hesitated only briefly before consuming one of the pills.


    Once the elixir entered his body, a line of fire quickly extended from his Dantian Qi Sea towards his spine and eventually spread throughout his body.


    Chen Mobai immediately employed the Lamp Technique to circulate the power of the elixir throughout his body, while slowly refining and expelling the Dan Poison.


    About half a day later, he had completely refined the Gold Crow Swallowing Sun Pill.


    Feeling the speed of his Cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll increase, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction.


    He took out a top-grade Spirit Stone and after cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body for a cycle, he opened his eyes.


    The moment he stood up, Chen Mobai felt his body somewhat heavier and his reactions a little slower.


    This was the aftermath of the Dan Poison; the symptoms were most severe immediately after consuming the elixir.


    However, the people in Tianhe Realm saw such symptoms as evidence that the pill¡¯s power was too strong for the body to bear in a short time.


    After he drank a pot of clear and transparent Green Charm Spiritual Tea, Chen Mobai felt the stasis in his body slightly dissipate and nodded lightly.


    As long as the Dan Poison was expelled before it fully integrated into the body, there would be no problem.


    Chen Mobai took out a pillbox and stored the remaining four Gold Crow Swallowing Sun Pills inside.


    Despite having a five-year supply, Chen Mobai still instructed the Alchemy Department to continue collecting the main and auxiliary ingredients for the elixir after returning to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Elixirs like this require more experience to master.


    He had done so much preparatory work in the early stage, yet the first attempt was still not ideal; he now wanted to acquire more materials to increase his proficiency with the alchemy recipe.


    After giving these orders, Yue Zutao, who had gone to negotiate with Snow-blowing Palace on behalf of Chen Mobai, also returned and came to report.


    ¡°Sect Leader, True Person Kong suggests that the Snow Mountain Water can be gifted, but they also hope that our Divine Wood Sect would allow them free access to Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Yue Zutao reported the result of his discussions.


    ¡°What a clever plan they¡¯ve hatched.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue; the Snow-blowing Palace was eyeing Yun Meng Ze, a precious territory that Divine Wood Sect and Five Elements Sect had jointly suppressed during the recent surge of demonic beasts.


    However, the annual cost of one million Spirit Stones was indeed a bit much.


    Moreover, since Snow-blowing Palace needed to rebuild its island markets and other strongholds upon its return to Yun Meng Ze, they had been hesitating over whether to pay these fees.


    When Yue Zutao went to buy the Snow Mountain Water, Sect Leader Zhu Jinyu and Kong Lingling, after reporting it, took the opportunity to put forth this request.


    In their eyes, the Snow Mountain Water was constantly melting and seeping into the earth, gathering at the base of slopes and foothills into lakes as clear as sapphires, and these water resources were sufficient for Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s use for hundreds of years.


    So, for them, trading the worthless Snow Mountain Water for something that Divine Wood Sect wanted was of no consequence.


    Because of its value of one million Spirit Stones, Yue Zutao, upon hearing this, came back to consult with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Agree to it,¡± Chen Mobai gave full authority to Yue Zutao to handle the matter, reasoning that once the Eastern Desolation Plateau was successfully developed, it could potentially bring tens of millions of Spirit Stones in revenue to the Divine Wood Sect each year; this investment was worth it.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    After Yue Zutao left, Chen Mobai received more good news.


    Xie Yuntian, Quan Shanlin, and Luo Xue¡¯er all succeeded in breaking through to the Completion of the Foundation Establishment Realm after consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    With this, the mid-tier strength of the Divine Wood Sect had also significantly improved.


    In other major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, Cultivators who had reached the Completion of Foundation Establishment were basically treated as Gold Core seeds.


    ¡°This is our sect¡¯s Core Formation Insights; you three reflect on them well.¡±


    After the three in front of him took an oath on their Dao Hearts, Chen Mobai orally passed on one of the sect¡¯s most valuable inheritances.


    ¡°Many thanks Sect Leader,¡± Xie Yuntian and the others could hardly believe that they had been given the Core Formation Insights just after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion, and all appeared quite excited.


    This was mainly because Chen Mobai came from the Immortal Gate and understood the value of passing on knowledge early to give them time to comprehend.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I will also share my understanding of Core Formation, you three listen carefully¡­¡±


    After discussing the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s inheritance, Chen Mobai¡¯s inclination to teach was revealed once again.


    Xie Yuntian and the others immediately showed respectful faces, paying full attention and performing teacher salutations.


    Having finished these topics, Chen Mobai also mentioned that there were other spiritual medicines in the sect that could assist in Core Formation, and his own success was attributed in part to these medicines.


    However, they would only be available for exchange to those who made significant contributions to the sect.

 Chapter 1161 - Chapter 1161 640 Chapter Two Great Rivers_2

    Chapter 1161: 640 Chapter Two Great Rivers_2 Chapter 1161: 640 Chapter Two Great Rivers_2 ¡°May I ask the Sect Leader, what constitutes a great contribution?¡±


    Xie Yuntian immediately asked, as he was the most impatient among the three and the most confident in himself.


    ¡°The alchemy recipe for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine comes from the Longevity Sect. Our Sect also needs to gather materials to refine it. Once the refining is successful, I will decide based on the three of you¡¯s contributions to the Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not provide a concrete standard.


    Not long after the three of them left, Luo Xue¡¯er was brought back by Gu Yan.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I have reached Foundation Establishment Completion and have come to inquire about the matter from the other day.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er was also very conflicted at the moment. Naturally, she wanted to achieve Core Formation, but she could only choose one between the Heterodox Golden Core and the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, so she hesitated.


    ¡°If the refining of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill is successful, Xie Yuntian will have made the greatest military achievements for the Sect, followed by Quan Shanlin, so you can only be third. However, that Heterodox Golden Core is indeed the most suitable for you at the current stage in the Sect. I just so happen to have a super project that I want to start on the Eastern Desolation Plateau. Would you be willing to go there?¡±


    ¡°Disciple is willing!¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could specify what the super project was, Luo Xue¡¯er did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.


    When the matter of opening up the Eastern Desolation Plateau and managing the Boundless Sand Sea was mentioned, Luo Xue¡¯er, the Vice Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, also widened her eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°I plan to dig a great river from Yun Meng Ze to irrigate Sky Country, and then lead another river from the Frost country snowy mountains to irrigate Rock Country; finally, the confluence of the Two Rivers will flow to Rainbow Country to provide sufficient water resources to manage the desert¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Luo Xue¡¯er had basically grasped his idea. She knew internally that this would undoubtedly be incredibly arduous, involving the opening of tens of thousands of miles of river channels that would span from Sky Country to Rock Country. The process required traversing the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau to find the most suitable route, which would take at least several decades or even a century to complete.


    But for her own Core Formation, she knew she had to endure the hardship.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I need to command some disciples from the Spirit Vein Division. If we also have support from the Spirit Beast Division and the Body Forging Division, the digging could be faster.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er quickly immersed herself in the role of digging the great river and began asking Chen Mobai for manpower.


    ¡°The Sect needs to guard against the retaliatory strike of the Demonic beasts from Yun Meng Ze, so most of the elite disciples cannot be moved. However, missions can be posted in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    Chen Mobai always liked to emphasize the initiative of cultivators in handling matters. Although he could order the disciples of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions in the name of the Sect, he still preferred to have tasks with explicitly stated rewards.


    In this way, leaders like Zhuo Ming could gain more merit, rather than having it dispersed so that no one accumulates enough merit for Enlightenment.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Xue¡¯er realized that this task would take even more effort than she had imagined.


    But the thought of Core Formation ignited a fighting spirit within her.


    She must complete this task well.


    ¡°I am the chief engineer of this super project, but as the Sect Leader, I need to stay at Giant Tree Ridge and cannot leave lightly, so I have sent Ming¡¯er to oversee this matter in my place. She has received my true teachings, and when you go there, you must also follow her lead.¡±


    Chen Mobai first backed up his prized disciple, preventing Luo Xue¡¯er from using her seniority to take over command.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, I will certainly follow Zhuo Shimei¡¯s lead.¡±


    There was a hint of bitterness in Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s heart when she said this.


    Having worked in the Divine Wood Sect for over a hundred years, as the Vice Hall Master of one of the Three Great Halls, just below the Golden Core Cultivators, she now had to follow the orders of a young girl.


    It could only be said that effort was not as good as choosing the right master.


    ¡°Hmm, after you leave, go and find Ming¡¯er. She should already be organizing manpower, ready to set out for the Eastern Desolation Plateau.¡±¡±


    When Luo Xue¡¯er bid farewell and left, she found that Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin were actually waiting at the entrance of the Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Both men¡¯s eyes flickered when they saw her come out.


    The three of them had the same thought in mind.


    They all wanted to seek out the Sect Leader privately to inquire about the conditions for obtaining the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    Since Chen Mobai had seen one of them, it would not be right to refuse to meet the other two, so he asked Gu Yan to bring them up as well.


    Facing the two of them, there was no point in hiding anything.


    He mentioned the matter of refining the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, saying that if only one pill was successfully refined, then it should be exchanged with the Sect member who had made the highest contribution.


    When Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin left, the relationship between the two men, which had been fairly good, now felt like there was a barrier between them.


    They exchanged a glance and flew toward the Spirit Treasure Pavilion together.


    Inside the pavilion, as usual, many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect bustled about. When they saw the two men, who were ranked second only to the Nascent Soul Ancestors in the Sect, come in, they were all taken aback.


    But then, something even more shocking happened!


    Xie Yuntian pointed to the hardest tasks on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion¡¯s mission list, those with the greatest Sect contribution upon completion, and told Liang Lingzhen, who was on duty, to accept them all.


    But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Quan Shanlin.


    ¡°Xie junior brother, it¡¯s a bit much to hog it all to yourself, isn¡¯t it? You have to leave half for me.¡±


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll leave these five tasks to senior brother.¡±


    Xie Yuntian was quite forthright, directly handing over the tasks that, although offering a sizable contribution, would take up a lot of time, to Quan Shanlin. The latter smirked coldly and pointed to the tasks other than those five, telling Liang Lingzhen he would take care of the rest.


    The way the two were competitively opposed to each other immediately caused Liang Lingzhen to frown with worry.


    He couldn¡¯t afford to offend either of them.


    But he was also puzzled as to why these two big shots were suddenly so enthusiastic about doing tasks?


    In the end, this matter was brought to Chen Mobai¡¯s attention. He smacked each of them fifty times and then reformed the Sect¡¯s mission rules, stipulating that one could only accept another task after completing or canceling the previous one.


    Chen Mobai had Liang Lingzhen bring over the mission list from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and told Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin to each pick one.


    In front of him, naturally neither dared to step out of line, and they both picked tasks they felt they could complete easily and which offered high contribution.


    ¡°After that, it¡¯s up to you two who returns to the Sect first. At that time, you can choose whatever you want.¡±


    Having dealt with this matter, Chen Mobai then went to Xiao Nanshan.


    He saw Zhuo Ming, who was busy with the handover of the Spirit Fields, the Immortal Peach Tree, the Tea Trees, and various other Spirit Plants of Xiao Nanshan.


    After she left, these would all be looked after by someone assigned by the Spirit Plant Department.


    Shi Fengping finally got the chance to show his worth in front of Chen Mobai, personally leading the elite disciples of the Spirit Plant Department. He took over with meticulous care, making sure he understood every aspect of different Spirit Rice habits and planting seasons to ensure that the Spirit Rice yield from Xiao Nanshan wouldn¡¯t plummet once he took over.


    After Chen Mobai arrived, Shi Fengping was still seeking advice from Zhuo Ming, showing his seriousness and dedication to the task the Sect Leader had entrusted for the Land of Dragon Prosperity.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo happened to be on Xiao Nanshan today as well; he needed to discuss with Zhuo Ming how to transport the materials she needed to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    However, after Chen Mobai arrived, master and disciple went aside under the Immortal Peach Tree to discuss matters regarding Song Huangdae.


    After the news spread that Liu Wenbo had taken him as a nominal disciple, indeed, mysterious letters soon arrived at Dragon Horn Trench, directing Song Huangdae to probe into the secrets of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    Song Huangdae immediately reported this letter to Liu Wenbo, his nominal master, and asked how he should reply.


    Liu Wenbo thought about several different versions, trying to figure out who the infiltrator within the Sect might be.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But since he was uncertain, having met Chen Mobai today, he brought it up for advice.


    Chen Mobai replied, ¡°Just say that you¡¯ve discovered that Ming¡¯er and Xuan are about to leave Giant Tree Ridge to carry out my orders to develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau.¡±


    Liu Wenbo said, ¡°Master, the people from the Spirit Plant Department have been coming to Xiao Nanshan daily; isn¡¯t this matter already common knowledge?¡±


    Chen Mobai replied, ¡°Information has to come step by step. The mole will definitely want Song Huangdae to find out from you, his master, the ¡®real purpose¡¯ behind the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau. Tell Song Huangdae to say that it¡¯s not only Ming¡¯er and Xuan, but also the Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall is going to be dispatched by me.¡±


    Chen Mobai continued, ¡°Once Luo Xue¡¯er also leaves Giant Tree Ridge, the mole will certainly see Song Huangdae¡¯s value greatly increased. Then, have him reveal that he has discovered that Yin Qingmei, the possessor of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, might also leave Giant Tree Ridge¡­¡±

 Chapter 1162 - Chapter 1162 Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple

    Chapter 1162: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple Chapter 1162: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple If you want to lure the snake out of its hole, then you must choose bait that your enemy simply cannot resist.


    Within the entirety of the Divine Wood Sect, aside from Chen Mobai and other cultivators who have already achieved Core Formation, the one who makes the enemies most wary is undoubtedly Yin Qingmei with her Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    With such aptitude, achieving Core Formation was a minimum guarantee, and there was even a great chance of reaching ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± eventually.


    If there was an opportunity to eliminate her in advance, they would undoubtedly take immediate action to kill her.


    And Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t spreading false information; Yin Qingmei indeed needed to go to Rainbow Country to adjust her Fire Vein and plant trees to treat the sand. Zhuo Ming had also visited Qingdai Mountain several times to discuss this matter with her.


    Once Liu Wenbo received guidance from Chen Mobai, he immediately had an epiphany and left Xiao Nanshan to arrange this matter.


    Of course, before he left, he handed over to Chen Mobai the five tubes of Qi of Dragon Vein that Song Huangdae had painstakingly refined this year.


    Ever since his identity was exposed, Song Huangdae, in an attempt to make amends, dared not slack off anymore, exceeding his original annual task of four tubes.


    He hoped that when the time came for the Restoration Society to be annihilated, Chen Mobai would spare his life in recognition of his hard work.


    Conveniently, at this time, the Divine Wood Sect had also gathered all the auxiliary materials needed for the Earth Veins Elixir.


    What was still missing was another main material, that is, the Qi of Earth Vein!


    The so-called Qi of Earth Vein was, in fact, earth-attribute Spiritual Energy. Over ninety-nine percent of Spirit Plants required Qi of Earth Vein to survive and grow.


    Therefore, virtually all terrestrial Spirit Veins contain Qi of Earth Vein, making it an easily found and widely used main material.


    The Earth Veins Elixir is named after it, and its demand for Qi of Earth Vein even exceeds that for Qi of Dragon Vein.


    This is a Rank-3 elixir, so the Qi of Earth Vein it requires must be at least Rank-3. However, if there¡¯s Rank-4 Qi available, according to the past experience of predecessors at Jumang Academy, recounted by Wen Ren Xuewei, the quality of the resulting elixir would be even better.


    And naturally, the improvement for an Earth Spirit Root cultivator from an elixir of better quality would be more significant.


    However, the practice of alchemy within Immortal Gates has always advocated frugality, so if Rank-3 Qi of Earth Vein is sufficient, they would absolutely not use Rank-4.


    Chen Mobai is different; if he is to refine elixirs, then he would want all the external conditions to be optimal.


    Otherwise, if this material falls slightly short or that material is scant, and the refinement fails, wouldn¡¯t that be an even bigger waste?


    The Qi of Earth Vein at Giant Tree Ridge is, without a doubt, the most top-notch in the Eastern Desolation.


    But through the abundant experience of the Sect, Chen Mobai knew that extracting Qi of Earth Vein would affect the growth of Spirit Plants, the yield of Spirit Rice at Giant Tree Ridge, and excessive extraction could even cause the grade of the Spirit Vein to decline.


    Although the Earth Veins Elixir did not require a large amount of Qi of Earth Vein, Chen Mobai still wouldn¡¯t do something that amounted to undermining his own resources.


    Luckily, besides Giant Tree Ridge, the Divine Wood Sect had two other locations with Fourth Grade Spirit Veins!


    They were Cloud Nation¡¯s Tianpeng Mountain and Jianguo Dayun Proving Ground.


    The former was a relic of cultivators who had opened up the land discovered by the Foundation Establishment practitioner Du Feng from the Sect in the past. There was even a Rank-4 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple suppressing the Spirit Vein.


    It was a pity that too much time had passed. When Chu Zuoshu went there, he found that the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple had already withstood the Heavenly Tribulation, and though it was still alive, its trunk was charred, and it had no branches or leaves left, barely clinging to the last remnant of its Elemental Energy.


    Moreover, the mere remnants of the spirit in the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple caused the Spirit Vein of Tianpeng Mountain to gradually dissipate and weaken.


    Later, Zhou Shengqing personally transplanted three Golden Sun Spirit Trees there and helped the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple purge the remnants of the Heavenly Tribulation. Only then was the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of Tianpeng Mountain barely preserved.


    The Dayun Proving Ground of Jianguo was a Rank-4 Spirit Vein that Ancestor Hunyuan discovered and subsequently bestowed upon Zhou Shengqing. It remains the Zhou family¡¯s ancestral land to date.


    Therefore, the only place where Chen Mobai could extract Rank-4 Qi of Earth Vein was Tianpeng Mountain!


    He didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately brought his cherished disciple Zhuo Ming to Tianpeng Mountain.


    The All-things Altruistic Cauldron was most proficient in this extraction.


    To avoid delaying Zhuo Ming¡¯s important mission to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Chen Mobai decided to extract all the Qi of Earth Vein needed for his refinement in one go.


    After passing through the Teleportation Array, Chen Mobai, riding on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± arrived at Tianpeng Mountain with the greatest speed.


    The place was protected by a Formation, unseeable and inaccessible to mortals.


    But as the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai naturally had unimpeded access!


    After passing through the Formation, what came into view was a lush and verdant Spirit Mountain with winding streams, not particularly tall.


    The foothills and slopes of the mountain had all been converted by the Spirit Plant Department of the Divine Wood Sect into Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields, where a variety of precious herbs were planted.


    The dissipating Spirit Vein here nourished all fields to become Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Fields, and Chen Mobai even spotted an acre of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.


    In the center of Tianpeng Mountain stood a Five-Cornered Ancient Maple tree, over ten zhang tall with a charred trunk, devoid of branches and leaves.


    This plot of Spiritual Land of Tianpeng Mountain naturally had cultivators from the Sect¡¯s Spirit Plant Department tending it, and the one in charge was even a Foundation Establishment practitioner named Xin Tingzheng.

    He was once the deputy head of the Spirit Plant Department, yet unfortunately, he was now over two hundred years old, his life nearing its end.


    So, feeling his body weakening irrevocably, he retired to this Rank-4 Spiritual Land to spend his last years.


    On hearing that Sect Leader Chen Mobai was coming, Xin Tingzheng, dragging his decrepit body, was carried over by four disciples of the Spirit Plant Department to pay his respects.


    Is this what a Foundation Establishment Practitioner facing the end of his lifespan in the Tianhe Realm looks like?


    Chen Mobai looked at the emaciated Xin Tingzheng, with a lifeless expression and Spiritual Power not even on par with the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. After feeling his pulse, it was easy to discern that his state was due to an overwhelming amount of elixir toxins within his body, which was why, despite having several years left in his lifespan, he already looked like a man at death¡¯s door.

 Chapter 1163 - Chapter 1163 Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2

    Chapter 1163: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 Chapter 1163: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 He couldn¡¯t help but channel a gentle stream of Pure Yang Spiritual Power to help Xin Tingzheng dissolve some of the accumulated poison in his body.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    While Chen Mobai and Xin Tingzheng were conversing, Zhuo Ming had already approached the nearly withered Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, touching it with both hands and employing the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication.


    Unfortunately, they were not in Xiao Nanshan, and this Fourth Order Spirit Plant had been nearly soul shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation, retaining only a trace of its remaining spirit, completely devoid of the ability to communicate.


    Zhuo Ming had initially hoped to save this precious Fourth Order Spirit Plant, but now it seemed like an impossible feat.


    Amidst her sigh, Zhuo Ming wasted no more time; she immediately took out the All-things Altruistic Cauldron and a set of Spirit Sealing Tubes, beginning to extract the Fourth Order Qi of Earth Vein with this Lifespan Artifact.


    Xin Tingzheng could roughly understand what Zhuo Ming was doing, but with Chen Mobai nearby, he dared not say anything.


    The other disciples of the Spirit Plant Department were all focused on Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, wondering if they would have the chance to ask him some questions about cultivation.


    Three days later!


    Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming and left Mount Tianpeng.


    Zhuo Ming used the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to extract twenty strands of Fourth Order Qi of Earth Vein, but unfortunately, they did not discover any Qi of Creation here.


    ¡°Master, I was thinking, is it possible to use the Kindwood Mantra to turn this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple into a seed and take it back to Xiao Nanshan for re-cultivation?¡±


    On the way back, Zhuo Ming proposed her idea.


    ¡°This Five-Cornered Ancient Maple is a Fourth Order Spirit Plant. You need to cultivate the Kindwood Mantra to the Fourth Order in order to do that, something even your teacher cannot achieve!¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally appreciated his disciple¡¯s idea, but he did not want to use the Fourth Order Empowerment of the Heavenly Calculation Bead on such a minor Technique.


    Moreover, after turning it into a seed with the Kindwood Mantra, it would have to be nurtured from Rank-1 again, which he found to be troublesome.


    After listening to this, Zhuo Ming could only show her disappointment!


    Upon returning to the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai took all the materials needed for the Earth Veins Elixir and went back to the Immortal Gate to practice alchemy.


    Zhuo Ming Luo Yixuan also set off for Rock Country to prepare for the diversion of Snow Mountain Water for irrigation, officially developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Time quickly passed and half a year went by!


    In the Transmission Department, Du Feng, seeing in his hand the newly approved decree from the Sect Leader to dispatch Luo Xue¡¯er, the Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, to Sky Country to develop a major river, no longer doubted the message that Song Huangdae had brought yesterday.


    He had not expected that this time, the old devil Chen would actually send out Yin Qingmei, the Heavenly Spiritual Root!


    Isn¡¯t he afraid that once she leaves Giant Tree Ridge, she could be ambushed by other enemy Golden Core Cultivators?


    Probably, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s consecutive victories in recent years have gotten to old devil Chen¡¯s head, leading him to believe that the Eastern Wasteland has truly become the realm of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take this opportunity to kill off this future Golden Core of the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Thinking to himself, Du Feng left the Transmission Department and went back to his Cave Dwelling, took out a special piece of Talisman Paper, wrote down the message he wanted to convey, and then lit it on fire, burning it to ashes.


    After several transfers, the letter reached the hands of the former Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain, Xu Shengbing.


    He immediately sought an audience with Yan Fusheng, who was in seclusion in his Cave Dwelling.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    The stone door opened, and a deep, authoritative voice accompanied by a tall silhouette emanated from within.


    ¡°Ancestor, I have received a letter from brother Du!¡±


    As Yan Fusheng¡¯s personally placed spy inside the Divine Wood Sect, Du Feng had even offered up the Spiritual Land of Mount Tianpeng and the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple; therefore, any information he sent was of great importance.


    ¡°Capture this Heavenly Spiritual Root alive. I want to turn her into a Human Puppet; she might even become a complete Liu Jia Heavenly General!¡±


    Upon hearing the news of Yin Qingmei heading to Rainbow Country, Yan Fusheng¡¯s eyes lit up, and he gave his orders.


    ¡°Yes, Ancestor. However, my command over manpower is limited at the moment, and I dare not direct the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners. Given that Yin Qingmei, being a Heavenly Spiritual Root, likely has many protective treasures, I can manage to kill her alone, but capturing her alive may be difficult.¡±


    Xu Shengbing expressed his difficulties, for over the past ten years under Yan Fusheng¡¯s guidance, he had also broken through to the Completion of Foundation Establishment and believed there were only a handful of Nascent Soul Ancestors in the Eastern Barren he could not defeat.


    Facing Yin Qingmei, the Heavenly Spiritual Root long protected by the Divine Wood Sect at Giant Tree Ridge, he was certain of victory, but the thought of trying to capture her alive was troubling.


    ¡°Don¡¯t make a move in Rainbow Country to avoid the Divine Wood Sect suspecting Liu Jia Mountain and coming to us.¡±


    ¡°If she wants to come to Rainbow Country, she will definitely pass through Rock Country. Isn¡¯t the Restoration Society active there? Use my token to mobilize those remnants from Mountain Shaker Peak and capture her there.¡±


    ¡°After you¡¯ve done this, make a detour and lead the trail to the Nanxuan sect.¡±


    The strategy, spoken in Yan Fusheng¡¯s icy tone, brightened Xu Shengbing¡¯s eyes.


    If everything went as the ancestor suggested, not only would they be able to kidnap Yin Qingmei, but they might also provoke a full-scale war between the Divine Wood Sect and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    ¡°Yes, ancestor!¡±


    ¡­


    Qingdai Mountain.


    Yin Qingmei had no idea she was being used as bait; she was worried about how to transplant her Biyu Wutong to Rainbow Country.


    For cultivators of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, once they left their Destiny Spirit Plant, their cultivation speed would revert to its original state.


    Even if she reverted to her original pace, she was still a Heavenly Spiritual Root, far surpassing anyone in the sect.


    But having grown accustomed to the support of her Destiny Spirit Plant and refining Spiritual Power, Yin Qingmei found it difficult to accept returning to her previous cultivation speed.


    Unfortunately, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s method for tree seeds would permanently fix the Spirit Tree¡¯s grade, which would make carrying it very convenient if transformed into a tree seed.


    She even consulted Zhuo Ming, the top Spirit Plant Master of the sect, about this issue.


    Zhuo Ming proposed two solutions!


    One of them was to use the Kindwood Mantra that Chen Mobai taught from the Longevity Sect to turn the Biyu Wutong into a seed.


    This spell would preserve all the energy and Elemental Energy of the Spirit Plant within the seed, which could then be transplanted in a suitable Spirit Vein after being carried to the destination. With careful nurturing over some time, it would grow back.


    But this period was not going to be short.


    Zhuo Ming, through the Divine Skills of All Things Spiritual Communication, connected with the Rank-2 Biyu Wutong and estimated it would take about ten years to return to its current realm.


    Yin Qingmei naturally did not want to waste so much time; she estimated that in ten years, she would likely have reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment.


    So, it was the second method: like transplanting an Immortal Peach Tree, using a great force to lift up the Biyu Wutong along with the soil it was in and manually moving it from Qingdai Mountain to Rainbow Country.


    With Yin Qingmei¡¯s cultivation level in the Foundation Building Realm, she was most definitely incapable of doing this.


    She could only seek help from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you for your efforts, foster father,¡±


    Yin Qingmei said with a grateful look as Chen Mobai lifted the Biyu Wutong and the huge clump of soil around its roots into the air.


    ¡°It¡¯s a simple matter. I was also planning to secretly escort you to Rainbow Country, so transporting this Biyu Wutong is on the way.¡±


    Chen Mobai briefed Yin Qingmei on the possibility of undercover agents, but she remained composed, assured that with her foster father in hiding, her safety was guaranteed.


    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s good that you have this mentality. In some time, I will have Xie Yuntian escort you to Rainbow Country openly. If enemies ambush you, don¡¯t worry about him, just find a way to ensure your own safety.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, Luo Xue¡¯er, and Luo Yixuan had gone to the Eastern Desolation Plateau to thoroughly verify the accuracy of Song Huangdae¡¯s information.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Now, the news of Yin Qingmei¡¯s departure should be able to draw out the genuinely hidden and malevolent Restoration Society against the Divine Wood Sect.


    After the two finished discussing, Chen Mobai gave his Haotian Mirror to Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Once you¡¯re in Rainbow Country, you mustn¡¯t stop condensing the Pure Yang Purple Qi. I¡¯ll transmit a stream of Spiritual Power to you; in a critical moment, you can activate this magic artifact to save your life,¡± he said.


    Having said that, he sent the Biyu Wutong tree into his own Domain.


    After breaking through to the third layer of the Gold Core, his Domain had expanded to 320 cubic meters, more than enough to fit the tree.

 Chapter 1164 - Chapter 1164 Chapter 642 Refining the Earth Veins Elixir

    Chapter 1164: Chapter 642: Refining the Earth Veins Elixir Chapter 1164: Chapter 642: Refining the Earth Veins Elixir ¡°`


    Within the boundaries of Rain Country, a group of Black Plague Birds suddenly appeared, led by a powerful Rank-2 Demonic Beast.


    It seemed that a breach had occurred in the defenses along the border with Cloud Dream Marsh, compounded by the fact that after Hong He¡¯s ¡°death in battle,¡± his replacement as the Town Guard of Rain Country was Fei Zhongyu, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Penalty Evil Hall, which somewhat undermined the control of the situation.


    Although Fei Zhongyu had tried his best to gather Divine Wood Sect Monks from Rain Country, coupled with the assistance of the major families, they were still unable to completely exterminate the Black Plague Birds, capable of free flight.


    Some time ago, two lesser families were breached by the Black Plague Birds, and dozens of cultivators were brutally killed.


    Facing such a situation, several families from Rain Country began to retreat, with leading Foundation Establishment Cultivators summoning their own sect members to defend family lands, in order to prevent the spirit rice and medicinal herbs in their Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields from being entirely devoured by these monstrous beasts.


    Without the manpower from the major families, Fei Zhongyu found the Divine Wood Sect Monks at his disposal somewhat insufficient.


    He could only retreat to within Liu Hua Market and then sent a request for reinforcements to the Sect.


    Usually, in such cases, the Divine Wood Sect would have two ways to respond.


    The first was to post this demon-exorcising mission directly on Spirit Treasure Pavilion, waiting for a Foundation Establishment Practitioner with spare time, and looking to earn some sect contributions and spirit stones, to take it on.


    If Fei Zhongyu had a more profound background, then higher-ups like Chen Mobai would directly assign some powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators to intervene.


    Alternatively, they would decree Foundation Establishment Monks guarding various islands and markets in Cloud Dream Marsh to go there.


    Unfortunately, Fei Zhongyu was just the most ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Divine Wood Sect; even though he had a few fellow disciples with whom he was acquainted, they were nothing more than casual contacts.


    Besides, he was already advanced in years, with his potential drained, which is why he obeyed orders to leave Penalty Evil Hall and followed Hong He to Rain Country, hoping to earn some more spirit stones in his later years.


    But who could have known that two years ago, his immediate superior would suddenly perish in Cloud Dream Marsh.


    Due to the shortage of manpower at that time, he was forced to become the acting Town Guard of Rain Country. Fortunately, the onslaught of the Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters had mostly subsided by that time, and thanks to his diligent performance, there were no mishaps.


    However, when the subsequent selection for reigning Town Guard of Rain Country occurred, qualified Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment Practitioners declined one after another.


    Firstly, they feared following in Hong He¡¯s footsteps, perishing in Cloud Dream Marsh.


    Secondly, being a Town Guard was originally a position at the Sect Leader¡¯s discretion, and after Hong He¡¯s death, no one in the Sect could compete with the likes of E Yun and King Zhou Wangshen.


    As a result, in the absence of anyone stepping forward to compete, Fei Zhongyu remained as the acting Town Guard of Rain Country for more than two years.


    Fei Zhongyu was quite pleased at first, as at least being the Town Guard of a country, he ranked just below the upper echelons of The Three Great Halls and the Twelve Divisions within the Sect, and he would also receive more in terms of spirit stones and other stipends.


    However, after the Black Plague Birds made landfall, he started to regret why he didn¡¯t ask to resign earlier, citing inadequate abilities.


    Amidst fierce cries, hundreds of Black Plague Birds formed a massive dark cloud over the market¡¯s sky, and under the leadership of the Rank-2 big bird, they shot sharp, glinting Wind Blades towards the market¡¯s Large Formation.


    Fei Zhongyu was naturally not afraid that the market would be breached; even if thrice the number of demonic beasts came, he believed he could rely on the Large Formation to defend it.


    Even if it did not hold, he could escape using the Teleportation Array.


    But if that happened, the prestige of the Divine Wood Sect in Rain Country would be utterly disgraced.


    Moreover, if he fled, he estimated that he would likely be terminated by the furiously upset higher-ups.


    At this moment, Fei Zhongyu only hoped that the help he requested would be picked up promptly by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Sect.


    Normally, the Three Great Halls would ask Spirit Treasure Pavilion to clear out missions about once a month.


    Today was the seventh day.


    Fei Zhongyu only regretted why, knowing this situation, he didn¡¯t implore the Sect for reinforcements at the first opportunity, instead of trying to prove his competence by summoning Rain Country¡¯s Cultivator Families to surround and eradicate the demonic beasts, wasting precious half a month.


    Just as he was praying that the Black Plague Birds wouldn¡¯t ravage other Spiritual Lands in Rain Country for the next month, the market¡¯s Teleportation Array suddenly lit up.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    As Fei Zhongyu¡¯s brow furrowed, a person he never expected walked out.


    The arrival was not particularly tall or thin, not plump or short, with an ordinary appearance but sharp eyes and an erect posture, resembling a Sword Artifact hidden in its sheath.


    Seeing the newcomer, Fei Zhongyu¡¯s face lit up with joy.


    ¡°Minister Xie, I never expected it to be you who honored us with your presence!¡±


    The person who had teleported was none other than Xie Yuntian, who was hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.


    But upon seeing him, Fei Zhongyu also felt puzzled; he had no connection whatsoever with the pinnacle figure of the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment, so why was it him who took on the mission?


    ¡°Far too negligent; when faced with a situation you cannot handle, you should report to the Sect promptly. Every day you delay, our Sect¡¯s interests in Rain Country, as well as our allied families, suffer more losses!¡±


    After stepping out of the Teleportation Array, Xie Yuntian first sternly scolded Fei Zhongyu, who did not dare to retort and could only hang his head in admonition.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yet Fei Zhongyu felt even more mystified.


    Why had the Sect responded so swiftly this time?


    And why on earth had Xie Yuntian come personally?


    While he was still struggling to understand, Xie Yuntian did not delay at all!

 Chapter 1165 - Chapter 1165 Chapter 642 Refining the Earth Veins Elixir_2

    Chapter 1165: Chapter 642: Refining the Earth Veins Elixir_2 Chapter 1165: Chapter 642: Refining the Earth Veins Elixir_2 He glanced at the group of demonic beasts besieging the skies above Liu Hua Market and sneered before spouting a cyan and green stream of light from his mouth.


    It was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, brightening the world with a beam of light that fiercely tore through the massive cloud formed by hundreds of Black Plague Birds!


    The leading Rank-2 black bird, amidst its shrieks, flapped its wings rapidly, bursting forth with incredible speed to narrowly evade being split in two by the sky-shredding cyan and green beam of light.


    Yet even so, half of its black wing was severed by the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, burning fiercely as it fell towards the ground, leaving behind a trail of ash-like black smoke dispersing in mid-air.


    ¡°Good beast, to actually withstand one of my swords, let¡¯s see if you can handle this second one¡­¡±


    Xie Yuntian, who had flown up on his sword from the center of the market, raised an eyebrow at this scene, and then following the Sect Leader¡¯s example, he spouted a second Green Flames Sword Slaughter from his mouth!


    With its wings slashed, the Black Plague Bird could no longer dodge the Sword Sha with such speed. Despite desperately spitting out consecutive green Wind Blades, and even directing the surrounding hundreds of Rank-1 Black Plague Birds to form a shield of demonic beast clouds, under the divine might of the Sword Sha, they were like clouds torn apart by the blazing sun.


    And in the eyes of the many cultivators in Liu Hua Market, they witnessed two successive cyan and green fiery streams of light rise up, completely tearing apart the group of demonic beasts that had obscured the sky for a whole seven days.


    That imposing black bird, which could call upon the winds and thunder, was split into left and right halves by the second fiery stream of light.


    Amidst the blood that filled the sky, the flock of Black Plague Birds that had besieged Liu Hua Market for seven whole days was completely routed!


    After launching two Sword Shas in succession, Xie Yuntian also felt that his Spiritual Power had been considerably depleted and chose not to exert such terrifying power any longer.


    Instead, he wielded his Flying Sword to slay the Black Plague Birds that were fleeing in all directions.


    Fei Zhongyu naturally didn¡¯t miss the opportunity to make amends for past mistakes, and immediately directed the Divine Wood Sect Monks within the market to pursue and kill.


    But in the end, only the cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment could fly, so it was only Xie Yuntian, himself, and another Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator who managed to slay hundreds of Black Plague Birds.


    The rest escaped.


    ¡°Issue an order in the name of the sect to the major clans of Rain Country, to hunt down this group of demonic beasts with all their might, and make sure they do not harm the common people!¡±


    After feeling somewhat drained of Spiritual Power, Xie Yuntian stopped his pursuit, and shortly after returning to Liu Hua Market, Fei Zhongyu also returned, instantly relaying the order.


    ¡°Yes, Minister Xie, we really owe you one this time. Otherwise, the smaller clans in Rain Country and the commoners might have suffered.¡± Fei Zhongyu said earnestly. After every major clan began to only care for their own, he could only defend his territory.


    If the Black Plague Birds had recovered and no longer besieged Liu Hua Market but instead scattered across Rain Country to prey on people, he would have been severely at fault, and upon returning to the Sect, he probably would face punishment.


    ¡°It is only my duty!¡±


    After saying this, Xie Yuntian took out the document that represented the mission from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and had Fei Zhongyu sign to confirm that the mission was accomplished.


    ¡°Minister Xie, you have also worked hard to slay the demonic beasts. I have prepared the best Rank-3 Cave Dwelling in the market¡­¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t be staying. I need to return and hand over this mission before taking on the next one,¡± he said with a wave of his hand, declining the offer. After confirming that the group of demonic beasts was no longer a threat, he left via the Teleportation Array once more.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Fei Zhongyu, puzzled by the abrupt arrival and departure of Xie Yuntian, was left scratching his head in confusion.


    The great number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, short of Spirit Stones and contributions?


    ¡­


    After relocating the Biyu Wutong to his own Domain, Chen Mobai left a Formless Puppet within the sect to wait for Xie Yuntian¡¯s return.


    Although he had to use Yin Qingmei as bait, he couldn¡¯t be too blatant about it.


    As a Heavenly Spiritual Root, if the Sect suddenly sent her off alone, it would surely raise suspicions among enemies.


    Having Xie Yuntian, the number one Foundation Establishment member of the Divine Wood Sect, as a bodyguard was the perfect cover, and this news could also be leaked by Song Huangdae, further solidifying his trust among the undercover agents.


    As for the real Chen Mobai, he wasted no time in returning to the Immortal Gate.


    He was, after all, refining Earth Veins Elixir in the Rank-4 workshop of Red Dawn Institution.


    But the Alchemy System of the Immortal Gate was nearly fully automated; as a formula of the Immortal Gate, the Earth Veins Elixir wasn¡¯t like the traditional Golden Crow Bearing the Sun Elixir that needed constant tending to the furnace flame.


    ¡°`


    Even so, he left another formless puppet to watch over his workshop.


    When Chen Mobai returned, he arrived just in time to see two streams of gas mixing with different mineral fragments inside the long glass tube, continuously combining under the plant gel.


    The alchemy recipe for the Earth Veins Elixir would leave alchemists from the Tianhe Realm baffled.


    This was because the two main ingredients were the intangible qi of the Dragon Vein and the Qi of Earth Vein, and the auxiliary ingredients included various minerals along with plants that aided the fusion.


    This was an elixir of the metals and stones category!


    Thus, the difficulty of refining the Earth Veins Elixir was far beyond that of the common Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir. Even Chen Mobai, who knew the refining process like the back of his hand, had failed once already. This was his second attempt.


    Fortunately, the materials for the Earth Veins Elixir were much easier to collect than those for the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir, so even if he failed ten or twenty times, he wouldn¡¯t feel too pained.


    But he had underestimated his own abilities; the Enlightenment Tea¡¯s insight into the alchemy recipe, combined with the auspicious blessing of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram and the equipment of the Rank-4 workshop, meant that he actually succeeded on this second attempt.


    Chen Mobai joyfully took out the earthy-yellow elixir and placed it on the device that measured its toxicity.


    5.2%!


    This was a bit over the limit!


    Seeing this number, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.


    Although he had the Green Charm Spiritual Tea and the Burning Lamp Art to resolve the toxicity, the toxicity from the Golden Crow Sun-Swallowing Elixir in his body hadn¡¯t been completely refined away yet. It would be better to put less strain on his body.


    Chen Mobai attempted to refine the Earth Veins Elixir for the third time.


    4.7%!


    Even though it was still a success, the toxicity content still left him somewhat dissatisfied with himself.


    Just as he was preparing for the fourth refining attempt, the formless puppet he had left at the sect sent him a message.


    Xie Yuntian has returned from completing his mission!


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment, organized the issues he encountered during his three refining attempts into a document, and sent it to Qing Nu, asking for her guidance.


    However, Qing Nu seemed to be busy and didn¡¯t reply right away.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He left another formless puppet to continue the automated refining of the Earth Veins Elixir to increase his proficiency, while his true body returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡­


    ¡°I pay my respects to the Sect Leader!¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Xie Yuntian rushed over as soon as he received the summons.


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent Qing Mei to Rainbow Country to assist Ming¡¯er with sand control, but she is after all a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root. I fear she might encounter enemies en route, so I want you to escort her there.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader. But once Yin Qingmei reaches the Eastern Desolation Plateau, could she still possibly be ambushed by enemies? Do I need to stay there long-term to protect her?¡±


    In the past, Xie Yuntian would definitely not be willing to serve long-term as a bodyguard for anyone, even if it was to protect a sect member with a Heavenly Spiritual Root who was the future of Core Formation.


    But now his mindset was completely different. He thought that if he could protect Yin Qingmei and the Sect Leader¡¯s two disciples, after the successful refinement of the Jade Return Pill, the Sect Leader would surely appreciate his hard work and give him first consideration.


    ¡°You just need to deliver Qing Mei. There will be others arranged to watch over her on the Eastern Desolation Plateau.¡±


    This statement from Chen Mobai left Xie Yuntian somewhat disappointed.


    However, the mission personally assigned by the Sect Leader was worth as much as three thousand contribution points!


    If things went smoothly, by using the teleportation array, he could complete it in about half a month!

    After leaving Shenmu Hall, Du Feng immediately received the mission document stamped with the Sect Leader¡¯s decree, and seeing that it was identical to the intelligence he had received not long before, his trust in Song Huangdae deepened within his heart.


    He was already thinking about how to help Song Huangdae climb higher within the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    Of course, Du Feng hadn¡¯t forgotten his primary duties.


    He promptly conveyed the intelligence about Xie Yuntian escorting Yin Qingmei to Xu Shengbing!

 Chapter 1166 - Chapter 1166 Chapter 643 Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to

    Chapter 1166: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) Chapter 1166: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) Yin Qingmei and Xie Yuntian set off discretely and quickly.


    Chen Mobai naturally used the technique of One-Leaf Blindness to conceal his own figure and followed behind them.


    Meanwhile, at Giant Tree Ridge, his Formless Puppet had been appearing continuously in Shenmu Hall for half a month, dealing with various sect affairs accumulated for a long time with Yue Zutao.


    Passing a false message to the undercover agent.


    Traveling from Jian Country to Rainbow Country required crossing the majority of the Barren Eastern Wilderness. Even with the convenience of a teleportation array, it still took half a month for Yin Qingmei and her companion to reach a border market in Rock Country.


    ¡°This Changzhuan Mountain Market was the first to surrender and be developed by the family Zhuang after the Sect Leader led an army into Rock Country. Because it¡¯s close to two spirit stone mines, it used to attract quite a number of cultivators and was fairly bustling, but now it¡¯s no longer the case¡­¡±


    Xie Yuntian led Yin Qingmei out of the Changzhuan Mountain Market¡¯s teleportation array and shook his head as he looked around the deserted and desolate surroundings.


    The spirit stone mines here had successively belonged to Mountain Shaker Peak, the Divine Wood Sect, and the Nanxuan Sect, before ultimately returning to the grasp of the Divine Wood Sect.


    After over a hundred years of excavation by the three major forces, the mines had become exhausted ten years ago.


    An exhausted mine didn¡¯t mean that there were no spirit stones left.


    It meant that all the easily mined large-scale veins of spirit stones had been depleted; what remained were deeply buried, scattered, low-value fragmented spirit stones.


    In the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s eyes, the contribution of resources to mine these spirit stones even exceeded their value, so they withdrew their workforce and left the mines for loose cultivators to dig.


    No matter who mined how many spirit stones, they just needed to pay half of their haul when leaving the cave.


    This is why places recently declared as exhausted mines would quickly attract a large number of loose cultivators.


    The Changzhuan Mountain Market developed precisely for this reason.


    Back then, cultivators, dreaming of riches, cram-packed every tunnel in the mine.


    Unfortunately, after ten years, the remaining spirit stones within the abandoned mine had been extracted nearly entirely.


    When a month¡¯s digging might not even unearth a single spirit stone, the mine was formally abandoned by the loose cultivators.


    Consequently, the once crowded Changzhuan Mountain Market became as it is now.


    If it weren¡¯t for the teleportation array set up by the Divine Wood Sect for transporting spirit stones, Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei wouldn¡¯t have come here to transit.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened. Senior Brother Xie is truly knowledgeable and well-informed.¡±


    Yin Qingmei, looking at the dust-laden buildings of the market, showed a sudden realization on her face.


    She had been protected for long-term cultivation at Giant Tree Ridge and had hardly dealt with the outside world. The word ¡®exhausted mine¡¯ was also new to her.


    ¡°Then what about the original owners of this Changzhuan Mountain Market, the Zhuang family? This is still a Rank-2 spirit vein, which seems to be a good cultivation spot for Qi Practitioners,¡± Yin Qingmei asked again, thinking that cultivator families shouldn¡¯t give up their ancestral land so easily.


    ¡°Junior Sister Yin, this Changzhuan Mountain originally had a Lower-grade Rank-3 spirit vein. But as the spirit stone mines were exhausted, the spiritual energy gradually weakened, eventually falling to the present Lower-grade Rank-2,¡± Xie Yuntian explained.


    ¡°The old ancestor of the Zhuang family naturally tried to save this ancestral land, even inviting Junior Brother Weng, a Rank-3 Earth Master here, but still failed to stop the depletion of the spirit vein.¡±


    ¡°After realizing that nothing could be done, the Zhuang family¡¯s ancestor led the elite of their family to collectively relocate and settle in Northern Abyss City. However, there should still be guardians left by their family here.¡±


    Xie Yuntian explained, but suddenly sensed something amiss.


    Although the spirit vein of Changzhuan Mountain was continuously weakening, the concentration of Rank-2 spiritual energy was still decent. Moreover, this was still the ancestral land of the Zhuang family; it shouldn¡¯t be devoid of any human presence.


    And because there was a teleportation array for transfer purposes here, the Divine Wood Sect even paid the Zhuang family a hundred spirit stones annually for maintenance and guarding.


    Logically, they should have seen the Zhuang family¡¯s Qi Practitioners as soon as they emerged from the teleportation array.


    A loud thud!


    A human head was tossed from behind a nearby building, rolling to the feet of Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei.


    Afterward, a mysterious person shrouded in a black robe walked out from the shadows.


    ¡°Junior Sister Yin, make sure not to stray too far from me,¡± Xie Yuntian tightend his eyes when he saw the robed figure, sensing spiritual power fluctuations similar to his own and immediately telepathically warned Yin Qingmei.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that somebody would dare to make a move against a Heavenly Spiritual Root of their Divine Wood Sect in the Barren Eastern Wilderness.


    Anger surged in his heart, but Xie Yuntian¡¯s rich combat experience did not cause him to lose his senses; instead, he started to observe the surroundings.

    But what subsequently appeared made his heart suddenly sink!


    Thump, thump, thump!


    Three more heads were tossed out, and three cultivators, also dressed in black robes, stepped out from different buildings in various directions.


    Their spiritual power fluctuations, although not as strong as the first, were still in the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Senior Brother Xie, I can take on two of them,¡± Yin Qingmei said; despite her lack of combat experience, she was after all an Eastern Wasteland Cultivator and showed no fear. She drew out her Divine Wood Sword and Divine Wood Shield, covertly clutching the Haotian Mirror within her storage bag, ready to use this Rank-3 magic artifact given by her foster father should the situation turn dire.

 Chapter 1167 - Chapter 1167 Chapter 643 Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to

    Chapter 1167: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) _2 Chapter 1167: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) _2 ¡°Yin Junior Sister, the man before us is a Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner. Although I am confident I can slay him, it might deplete a lot of my spiritual power. When the time comes, you should try to escape on your own; don¡¯t worry about me.¡±


    While Xie Yuntian was confident in his mastery of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, believing that within the Eastern Wilderness, no other Foundation Establishment practitioner could match him, he was also aware that one cannot fight off four with only two hands.


    If the enemy could so precisely grasp that they would come here, and even set up an ambush in advance, it was clear they knew the strength of both of them well.


    In such a situation, daring to send only four people over, they must be confident in their ability to capture them with this lineup.


    ¡°Senior Brother Xie, don¡¯t worry about me. I have life-saving means bestowed by my ancestors.¡±


    Compared to Xie Yuntian¡¯s caution, Yin Qingmei seemed much more composed.


    However, in her heart, she was thinking: why hasn¡¯t my foster father shown up yet?


    ¡°Good!¡±


    After hearing Yin Qingmei¡¯s words, Xie Yuntian no longer had any worries and directly spat out a cyan-blue beam of light from his mouth. His hard-earned later-stage Fire Spirit Body, combined with the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, now possessed sixty percent of the power Chen Mobai had during his Foundation Establishment phase!


    The Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner in a black robe who was caught off guard was split into two halves by the Sword Evil Slash!


    ¡°Senior Brother Xie is amazing!¡±


    Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t help cheering at the sight.


    But soon, Xie Yuntian¡¯s expression changed slightly; he realized that what his Sword Sha had seemingly slain did not feel like a human body!


    And at that moment, a bizarre and eerie cold aura burst forth from the other three Foundation Establishment practitioners. They took out a set of black Array Flags, which transformed into a surging cold tide, enveloping both Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei.


    Yin Qingmei immediately used the Divine Wood Shield, transforming it into a green light shield that enveloped both of them.


    Seeing this, Xie Yuntian stopped releasing the Spirit Leaf Talisman from his palm.


    Just as he was about to use his Sword Control to slay the three Array-setting Foundation Establishment practitioners, the ground suddenly collapsed with a thunderous boom!


    Although both of them managed to fly up in time, numerous dark yellow sandstone hands burst out from the ground, grabbing their feet and dragging them toward the sunken earth.


    At the same time, the Meridian Cold Tide Formation also erupted to its extreme at this moment, frosting the Divine Wood Shield with a layer of frost.


    The green light shield cracked instantly!


    Xie Yuntian used his Sword Control to cut off the large sandstone hands under their feet, and then crushed the Spirit Leaf Talisman in his palm!


    But just as he had freed himself, the mysterious person his Green Flames Sword Slaughter had split into two suddenly stood up, transforming into two pitch-black wooden blocks stacked into Puppet Snakes, which crossed in an X-shape to snip at him.


    Xie Yuntian had no choice but to spit out another Green Flames Sword Slaughter from his mouth, shattering this wave of attack.


    But what he found unbelievable happened ¡ª the two Puppet Snakes burning with the Sword Sha¡¯s flames suddenly shed their wooden outer layer, revealing two even more intricately detailed and lifelike Gravel Long Snakes.


    At this time, Xie Yuntian¡¯s Spirit Leaf Talisman was also shattered by the Meridian Cold Tide.


    The two Gravel Long Snakes, like ropes, wound through the dispersing cracks and bound Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei together.


    ¡°Hmph, trying to trap me¡­¡±


    Xie Yuntian snorted with rage, channeling the last of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter from his Dantian Qi Sea, attempting to melt the Gravel Long Snakes.


    But at this moment, the Meridian Cold Tide fell, forcibly suppressing the Green Flames Sword Slaughter for a blink of an eye.


    Suddenly, a black nail was spat out from the mouth of the snake on Xie Yuntian¡¯s body, piercing into his Dantian Qi Sea.


    In an instant, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter completely dissolved!


    ¡°A Spirit-banishing Nail?¡±


    Xie Yuntian¡¯s expression changed drastically, but it was too late to make a desperate move.


    All of his spiritual power was sealed.


    The Gravel Long Snake trapping Yin Qingmei also spit out a black nail, but she blocked it with an Ancient Bronze Mirror.


    Then, the might of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact erupted, carrying Yin Qingmei as she broke free from the restraints, flying upwards into the sky.


    The Meridian Cold Tide surged again, attempting to suppress Yin Qingmei!


    But the Haotian Mirror burst forth with Pure Yang Fire, instantly breaking through this force.


    ¡°Chen Lao Mo¡¯s Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror! He actually had it on him for protection. Hehe, this is good; I¡¯ve hit the jackpot today. Not only do I get your body with a Heavenly Spiritual Root but also a Rank-3 Magic Artifact¡­¡±


    The sinister words floated unpredictably through the air, and it was only after hearing this that Xie Yuntian realized who he had been fighting all this time¨Cit seemed to be the opponent¡¯s Puppet Device!


    ¡°Which member of Liu Jia Mountain are you?¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, the only others capable of such mastery in the Puppetry Technique, aside from the Puppet Division of the Divine Wood Sect, would be from Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°The Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain may be decent, but it can hardly be mentioned in the same breath as our Restoration Society. Stop probing. The president has ordered that we capture those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root alive; the rest may be killed without mercy. You will undoubtedly die today!¡±


    The creepy words rang out again, followed by the formation of a Gravel Flying Sword in front of Xie Yuntian¡¯s brow that, along with a flash of Spiritual Light, looked set to pierce through the brow of this number one Foundation Establishment practitioner from the Divine Wood Sect.


    A streak of Pure Yang Spiritual Light descended from the sky¨CYin Qingmei was taking action.


    ¡°Yin Junior Sister, you should have escaped!¡±


    Xie Yuntian let out a long sigh at this scene.


    Having the Sect Leader¡¯s Magic Artifact for protection, Yin Qingmei at least had a chance to escape the encirclement. Even if she were to be pursued later, she could delay them for some time, and who knows, there might be a chance of survival.


    ¡°Xie Senior Brother, you¡¯re giving me too much credit. Having activated the Sect Leader¡¯s Magic Artifact, my Spiritual Power is already depleted. I wouldn¡¯t get far even if I ran!¡±


    Yin Qingmei spoke with a faint smile, her face slightly pale as she held the Haotian Mirror.


    Xie Yuntian and those trying to kill him both found it odd to see her smiling at such a life or death moment.


    [To avoid prolonged trouble, let¡¯s kill Xie Yuntian first!]


    Hidden in the darkness and controlling the puppet, Xu Shengbing frowned slightly, preparing to activate his own Gravel Flying Sword.


    Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve only brought four Foundation Establishment Practitioners? Not enough to even give me a proper warm-up.¡±


    The words from behind sent a chill down Xu Shengbing¡¯s spine. He whirled around and saw a long-robed young man with an air of disappointment, his features both clear and distinguished.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re supposed to be at Giant Tree Ridge¡­¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s face, Xu Shengbing spoke in disbelief.


    ¡°That thing? It was just one of my Puppet Bodies.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Xu Shengbing¡¯s eyes widen in shock as he started shaking his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible; if you were a Puppet Body, you couldn¡¯t have deceived my Junior Brother.¡±


    ¡°My Puppetry Technique is a bit beyond what you people in this world can imagine, you know?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, while Xu Shengbing¡¯s whole body burned with Essence Blood, unleashing all his Spiritual Power in an instant, attempting to use the explosive power of a Blood Curse to escape alive.


    But just as he tried to take flight, he found his body as heavy as if burdened with a thousand pounds, terribly heavy, unable to lift his feet off the ground.


    Looking down, he saw that, at some unknown time, wisps of colorful mist-like silk had ensnared his entire body.


    Even the Blood Curse Escape Skill, which could supposedly boost one¡¯s speed threefold for a short duration, was unable to break even a single strand of the colorful mist silk.


    The ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, might be almost insignificant against a Golden Core Cultivator, but it was more than enough to suppress a Foundation Establishment Practitioner effortlessly.


    ¡°Who is the mole within my sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, at the same time uncorking the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist as orange-red radiance flickered within it, followed by a spurt of blood light.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It sliced through the Array Flags held by three nearby Ghost Cultivators, also piercing their Dantian Qi Seas.


    ¡°Ha ha, do you think I would actually tell you?¡±


    Xu Shengbing said grimly. Then, his eyes bulged as his body suddenly expanded, and the terrifying Restriction hidden within his body erupted, igniting all of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, resulting in a Blood Curse Thunder Method powerful enough to destroy half of the Changzhuan Mountain Market.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brows furrowed slightly and, with a clench of his right hand, the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± turned into a colorful ball of light that enveloped Xu Shengbing entirely.


    What he considered his final trump card, the Blood Curse Thunder Method, merely resulted in a muffled boom that slightly distorted the ball of light but did nothing more.

 Chapter 1168 - Chapter 1168 Chapter 644 Im Going to Liu Jia Mountain

    Chapter 1168: Chapter 644: I¡¯m Going to Liu Jia Mountain Chapter 1168: Chapter 644: I¡¯m Going to Liu Jia Mountain Looking at Xu Shengbing, who had turned into a pool of bloodstains, Chen Mobai tsked!


    His Void Spirit Eye had always been open, and he had clearly seen that the Blood Curse Thunder Method wasn¡¯t something his opponent intended to unleash. Instead, it was a restriction left inside his body by a higher-level cultivator.


    It was a pity that a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator, who was even very likely a Core Formation seed, ended up with no bones left.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t even had time to ask for his name.


    But within the Eastern Wilderness, such cultivators were few and far between. He took out paper and pen, and with the painting skills he had learned at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he easily drew a likeness of Xu Shengbing.


    ¡°Do you recognize this person?¡±


    After finishing the drawing, Chen Mobai used the Ground Firelight escape technique and blinked in front of Xie Yuntian, handing him the portrait.


    ¡°It¡¯s the former sect leader of Liu Jia Mountain, Xu Shengbing!¡±


    As the head of the sword training division, and a true disciple of the Five Elements Sect in his youth who had fought battles across all nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, Xie Yuntian naturally recognized Xu Shengbing, who had once been a celebrated figure just like himself.


    ¡°The former sect leader, huh¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai pondered for a while.


    He wondered if using this as a reason to annihilate Liu Jia Mountain was somewhat insufficient.


    ¡°Sect Leader, how should we handle these three people?¡±


    At this moment, Xie Yuntian spoke up.


    When Chen Mobai had captured Xu Shengbing earlier, he had also deployed the Primordial Yang Sword Evil and crippled the cultivation of three surrounding Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    After removing their black robes, they were three cultivators with pale faces, weak and powerless.


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s actually a Ghost Fetus in the Womb among them!¡±


    Chen Mobai walked over to one of the thin, tall youths and was about to ask a couple of questions when suddenly, a bizarre spiritual power fluctuation erupted within the youth¡¯s body.


    Just like Xu Shengbing, he was hit with the same Blood Curse Thunder Method and looked about to explode, poised to reduce him and the two Foundation Establishment practitioners beside him to dust.


    Chen Mobai flicked his hand, and a bright golden flame burst forth in his palm, instantly turning him into a pile of ashes.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Sect Master Chen, I did not know that the target of this assault was a cultivator from your sect. I was merely enticed and sought to earn some elixirs for breaking through realms,¡± said another cultivator with an old appearance and a long beard hanging over his shoulders, his voice quivering in fear.


    ¡°Oh, might I know who you are?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a hint of curiosity.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, my name is Mu Xishen, a Loose Cultivator residing in Northern Abyss City. For the sake of cultivation resources, I joined an organization called the Restoration Society. Normally, I receive their resources and act on their behalf when necessary¡­¡±


    Mu Xishen spoke with a desolate expression. His Dantian Qi Sea had been crippled by Chen Mobai, ruining a hundred years of bitter cultivation in a single blow. Yet even then, he wanted to survive and began confessing the truth.


    ¡°I was persuaded by this man, Yan Gongsheng here. He promised me a Return Yuan Pill after the deed¡­¡±


    After listening to what he said, Chen Mobai walked over to the last Foundation Establishment practitioner, a middle-aged man with a square face and desperate, dim eyes.


    ¡°One of the remnants from Shake Mountain Peak?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, as Yan Gongsheng looked up at him, his eyes filled with barely concealed hatred.


    It seemed he was correct.


    Only the vengeance of having one¡¯s sect destroyed could compel a Foundation Establishment practitioner to flash such a look towards Chen Mobai, a Core Formation practitioner.


    ¡°You needn¡¯t bother; I won¡¯t say anything,¡± Yan Gongsheng stated coldly, appearing resigned to his fate.


    ¡°Is that so, well then, alright!¡±


    Chen Mobai responded, nodding his head.


    Then, in a move that left Yan Gongsheng incredulous, a bright orange light emerged from the Yellow Skin Gourd at Chen Mobai¡¯s waist and flew out, crossing his throat.


    As the head fell to the ground, Chen Mobai turned to the last survivor, Mu Xishen.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I was really just temporarily blinded by greed. Please spare me; my cultivation journey hasn¡¯t been easy¡­¡±


    Mu Xishen kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but in the light of the bright orange blaze, his head too had fallen to the ground.


    ¡°Sect Leader, shouldn¡¯t we have kept one for interrogation, to ask for intelligence?¡± Xie Yuntian came over and asked with some surprise.


    ¡°These people were clearly bound by Dao Heart oaths. They couldn¡¯t disclose any information we might desire. With that being the case, it¡¯s better to kill them and prevent any future troubles,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    After all, in the history of the Tianhe Realm, there have been legends of those who had their Dantian Qi Seas ruined but were blessed with great fortune, acquiring heavenly and earthly treasures that could reverse fate, allowing them to cultivate anew and even reach the peak.


    ¡°I really owe you for stepping in to save us this time, Sect Leader. If I had died it wouldn¡¯t have mattered much, but if Yin Shimei had been captured by the enemy, the loss to our sect would¡¯ve been enormous,¡± Xie Yuntian expressed.


    The value of a Heavenly Spiritual Root could be considered on par with a Core Formation practitioner.


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed as he had been the only one aware of his ¡®fishing¡¯ gambit with the exception of Xie Yuntian.


    Given his intelligence, he most likely had guessed it by now, but he had to pretend he had not.


    ¡°You proceed to escort Qing Mei as normal to meet up with Ming¡¯er and Xuan. I¡¯ll follow behind you on the way to avoid a second wave of ambush,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei naturally agreed with nods.


    However, it was quite clear that even within the Restoration Society, it would be difficult to muster such an ambush force more than once, as Foundation Establishment Completion practitioners were counted on one¡¯s fingers in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The three of them transported smoothly into Northern Abyss City.


    E Yun was waiting for them in person; he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Mobai to come personally. When he saw him, his face showed shock.


    ¡°The two Shimeis, along with Qi Shidi, Yu Shidi, and some sect disciples, are currently at the border between Rock Country and Frost Country, digging canals to divert the Snow Mountain Water into rivers. But Frost Country is somewhat skeptical about the route we¡¯ve chosen for the canal. Zhuo Shimei is in talks with them¡­¡±

 Chapter 1169 - Chapter 1169 Chapter 644 Im Going to Liu Jia Mountain_2

    Chapter 1169: Chapter 644 I¡¯m Going to Liu Jia Mountain_2 Chapter 1169: Chapter 644 I¡¯m Going to Liu Jia Mountain_2 Within a secret cave dwelling in Northern Abyss City, E Yun reported the detailed progress of developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Things are going quite smoothly for Luo Xue¡¯er in Sky Country; after all, Yun Meng Ze is also considered the territory of the Divine Wood Sect. No matter where they start drawing water for irrigation, no one has any objections.¡±


    However, on the side of Rock Country, it involves the Snow-blowing Palace, thus specific routes need to be negotiated to avoid affecting their Spirit Fields and Spiritual Veins in Frost Country, and so on.


    It is fortunate that it was Chen Mobai and Kong Lingling, two Nascent Soul Ancestors, who established the agreement, otherwise, Zhuo Ming would probably still be wrangling with the people of Snow-blowing Palace right now.


    ¡°Do we have enough manpower?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, as the digging of canals, although expedited by cultivators wielding various spells, making it dozens of times more efficient than manual labor, still required a vast number of workers and time, considering it stretched for tens of thousands of miles.


    ¡°We barely have enough for now. But once Zhuo Shimei finalizes all the routes within Rock Country for White River, we will definitely be short-handed,¡±


    E Yun honestly mentioned the difficulties they faced here. Excavating canals required cultivators who practiced Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, and when it came to irrigating with water from the Snow Mountains, they would need to plant trees and set up embankments on both sides to prevent soil erosion, among other reinforcements.


    It was just barely manageable to recruit Loose Cultivators by posting missions in Northern Abyss City for a few waterways.


    But to spread the entire infrastructure across Rock Country, it would be far from sufficient.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s called White River?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but slightly raise an eyebrow.


    ¡°Yes, the river opened up by Zhuo Shimei is called White River, the one Luo Shijie is developing in Sky Country is named Mo River, and when the Two Rivers converge in Rainbow Country, it is tentatively named Xuanhe!¡±


    These three names were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.


    Chen Mobai initially thought he might feel embarrassed, but upon truly reflecting on his feelings, he discovered a subtle and indescribable sense of pride.


    Because this meant that, centuries later, his name could potentially be perpetuated in this Eastern Wasteland through these two rivers.


    To establish virtue, accomplish deeds, and leave a legacy!


    This was not only about establishing virtue but also about accomplishing deeds!


    Yet Chen Mobai still restrained the smugness in his heart, cautioning E Yun to remember not to blindly pursue progress on the project.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take it one step at a time. This is a century-long mega-project, which upon completion will change the entire pattern of the Eastern Wasteland. It is better to be cautious and careful.¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun also nodded slightly, indicating that he took note.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    At that moment, after receiving the news at the Longevity Academy, Jiang Zongheng hurried over.


    When teacher and disciple met, before Chen Mobai could speak, Jiang Zongheng already mentioned that he had added new courses within the academy.


    In the coming years, he intended to train a batch of Earth Masters and Spirit Plant Masters to support Zhuo Ming in canal excavation and tree planting for soil stabilization and sand control, among other things.


    Among the entire Divine Wood Sect, Jiang Zongheng was the first cultivator to grasp the transformative intention behind Chen Mobai¡¯s efforts.


    Atop the plateau, which held the most extensive soil area in the entire Eastern Wasteland, the cultivation of Spirit Rice or even the development of animal husbandry would potentially solve most of the famine issues if it could be entirely developed.


    With an abundance of food, unifying the Eastern Wasteland would no longer be just a dream.


    The reason why the Eastern Wasteland was split into nineteen countries previously was not only because of the big sects but also due to food scarcity. Whenever a country¡¯s population exceeded its capacity, wars would break out between countries as a form of population control.


    If the Divine Wood Sect only had one country under its command, encountering such a situation without desiring to engage in conflicts with other major sects could only lead to civil strife, which was somewhat embarrassing for the cultivators who covertly ruled these nations. Eventually, it led to the deliberate fragmentation into several countries.


    Jiang Zongheng knew that Zhuo Ming had many improved varieties of Spiritual Rice Seeds in her possession. Although these Spirit Rice had scant Spiritual Energy, they were highly productive, capable of two harvests per year, with the highest yielding up to a thousand catties per mu.


    And the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau, which Chen Mobai had once traversed with his two disciples, contained arable soil amounting to as much as thirty million mu.


    If the development is successful, Jiang Zongheng felt that the Spirit Rice from this area could sustain the entire Eastern Wilderness population and lay the material foundation for great unification.


    ¡°You¡¯ve done well, but I think the classification inside the Longevity Academy is still lacking. Apart from Earth Masters and Spirit Plant Masters, you could add more specific courses in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries to cultivate specialized talents.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood on the shoulders of the Immortal Gate, his vision far broader than Jiang Zongheng¡¯s.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m not sure which senior brother within the Sect specializes in these areas. I will invite them to come to the academy to teach.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng too was quick to understand, swiftly grasping the additional benefits these courses could bring.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t have to be only Sect cultivators who can teach. We can employ some Loose Cultivators or people with rich experience from within families. For example, your senior brother¡¯s Liu family¨C although their industries have upgraded over the years, their traditional skills in fisheries have been preserved. I just don¡¯t know if they would be willing to share and teach¡­ ¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness and their stubbornness about the transfer of knowledge.


    Although he had significant influence, and the Liu family would almost certainly agree if he asked, he did not want to pressure people with his status; he hoped others would come to teach at the Longevity Academy sincerely and willingly.


    ¡°I understand, Master. I will strive toward this aspect from now on.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng nodded, indicating that after returning, he would start searching for Loose Cultivators with experience in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. Compared to families, Loose Cultivators would generally be willing as long as they were offered Spirit Stones.


    ¡°When opening up large rivers, we can also carry out some water conservancy projects on the side. Moreover, underneath the plateau, the mineral resources are the richest in the entire Eastern Wasteland; these courses should also be added. Ming¡¯er will be staying here for a long time anyway, so when she has spare time, let her come over and teach a few classes occasionally.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care whether Jiang Zongheng could comprehend it all, he simply rattled off all the content and specializations he had gathered from the Immortal Gate.


    Once the two great rivers were opened for irrigation, all these aspects of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries on the Eastern Desolation Plateau could be put on the right track.


    Now was an appropriate time to cultivate the relevant talents.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    However, after listening once, Jiang Zongheng basically understood everything. He had heard related subjects discussed in mundane dynasties when he was a child, but not in as much detail or in a structured way as Chen Mobai had explained.


    Now after hearing it, he could apply his knowledge. Even a hint of understanding appeared on Jiang Zongheng¡¯s face.


    Indeed, managing one¡¯s household, governing the country, and pacifying the world¨Cthese principles worked even in the Cultivation World.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City for another two days, waiting for Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan to return.


    ¡°Qing Mei, plant your Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots here in Northern Abyss City for now. Next, you¡¯ll help Ming¡¯er plant trees along the newly-dug riverbanks to stabilize the soil.¡±


    With Zhuo Ming present, Chen Mobai was fully confident in transplanting the Biyu Wutong, and Yin Qingmei naturally let him make the arrangements.


    Soon they arrived at the peak of the highest mountain in Northern Abyss City.


    Zhuo Ming looked nostalgically at the place; it was here that he had mastered the All-things Altruistic Cauldron.


    After planting the Biyu Wutong, Chen Mobai left first.


    ¡°Is Master returning to the Sect?¡±


    Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei were circling the newly transplanted Biyu Wutong, communicating with it, while Luo Xue¡¯er was sticking closely to Chen Mobai and immediately asked when she saw him going down.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m going to Rainbow Country!¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, mentioning a destination that puzzled Luo Xue¡¯er.


    ¡°To Rainbow Country? Are you going to check the results of Yan Yuanhao¡¯s tree-planting and desert-control efforts? Master, would you like me to accompany you? I would like to see how much rain I can bring in the desert with my cultivation level.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er certainly wanted to accompany Chen Mobai, but he shook his head again.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to Liu Jia Mountain!¡±

 Chapter 1170 - Chapter 1170 Chapter 645 Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone

    Chapter 1170: Chapter 645 Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone (16,800 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Chapter 1170: Chapter 645 Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone (16,800 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Since Xu Shengbing had made a move against Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai had to pay a visit to Liu Jia Mountain no matter what.


    After instructing Luo Yixuan to stay behind and protect Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei, he himself descended into the teleportation array in Northern Abyss City.


    As streaks of silver light flashed by, he had already arrived within the territory of Rainbow Country.


    Yan Yuanhao, upon receiving news of his arrival, immediately rushed over in a hurry.


    However, Chen Mobai did not allow him to follow, as this trip was meant for him to seek retribution.


    Liu Jia Mountain also possessed a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, guarded by a top-ranked large formation, showing all the signs of a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, he did not conceal his powerful spiritual energy. Soon enough, the sect leader of Liu Jia Mountain, Yu Changjian, came out to greet him across the formations, trembling with fear.


    ¡°I wonder for what matter Sect Master Chen has graced us with his presence?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression remained calm as he pulled out Xu Shengbing¡¯s portrait and tossed it to Yu Changjian.


    ¡°You know this man, don¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°Yes, this is our ex-sect leader who was expelled¡­¡±


    Although Yu Changjian did not know why Chen Mobai had come, he instinctively started to disassociate Xu Shengbing from Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Several days ago, he led a reactionary force called the Restoration Society to ambush our sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners, harboring malicious intentions¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai did not mince words and directly labeled Xu Shengbing as an enemy of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Yu Changjian was already sweating profusely after hearing the first half of the statement. By the time Chen Mobai finished, he nearly fainted.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this truly has nothing to do with Liu Jia Mountain. It has been ten years since I expelled him from the sect, a fact that has been announced to the entire Eastern Wilderness¡­¡±


    Yu Changjian immediately began to explain, asserting that Xu Shengbing¡¯s actions were his own and had no relation to Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s related or not is not for you to decide.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke up, his cold facial expression causing Yu Changjian¡¯s gaze to flicker uncertainly, ultimately biting the bullet and continuing to apologize.


    ¡°Please instruct me, Sect Master Chen, on how Liu Jia Mountain can clear our name of this injustice?¡±


    ¡°My visit is simply to give you a chance to prove your innocence. How you demonstrate it convincingly enough for me not to take action against Liu Jia Mountain is your affair.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words, spoken calmly, were extraordinarily harsh.


    After the passing away of True Person Nan Shi, Liu Jia Mountain was no longer a so-called major sect of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Facing a Golden Core Cultivator, although they could rely on their sect¡¯s heritage and the large formation for defense, doing so would completely enrage the Sect Master Chen before them.


    Once the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army headed north and several Golden Cores descended upon them, the fall of Liu Jia Mountain would just be a matter of time.


    So, although Chen Mobai¡¯s statement was harsh, it was very much grounded in reality.


    It was now up to Yu Changjian, the sect leader of Liu Jia Mountain, to convince him.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, when True Person Fu of your sect took all our inheritance scriptures, he said that as long as our sect remains sealed and dormant, he would not touch us.¡±


    Yu Changjian continued to negotiate strenuously, hoping Chen Mobai would give face to Fu Zongjue, knowing that even casual words spoken by high-order cultivators were to be enacted upon.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, this agreement was reached between Xu Shengbing and Brother Fu. Now that Xu Shengbing has initiated an attack on our sect¡¯s Foundation Establishers, it¡¯s a breach of the agreement, thus invalidating Brother Fu¡¯s promise.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze upon Yu Changjian held a touch of disappointment as he reached for his Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist, ready to pull the cork.


    This action caused Yu Changjian¡¯s body to jolt; his fame was growing, and the power of his Yellow Skin Gourd was widely recognized.


    Even within the formations, Yu Changjian felt chills run down his spine.


    ¡°Please wait, Sect Master Chen. Our sect still possesses a Rank-3 Soul Crystal passed down from our ancestors, capable of creating Rank-3 human puppets. True Person Fu, having acquired our sect¡¯s inheritance, would surely find it of great need.¡±


    Having no other choice, Yu Changjian offered up one of the most precious items of Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Soul Crystal?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised; this was his first time hearing of such a thing.


    Yu Changjian immediately began to explain that it was unique to the Eastern Wilderness, a type of crystal that could potentially emerge from slain Yin Souls or Ghost Cultivators. It was an essential component in the creation of higher-grade puppets.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled that, after he had slain some Ghost Cultivators, there indeed seemed to be a crystal-like object amongst the spoils.


    ¡°But a mere Rank-3 Soul Crystal¡­ You know, when Brother Zhou had his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and slew several Rank-3 Ghost Cultivators, similar items appeared¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was not sure if Zhou Shengqing had obtained any Soul Crystals when using the Longevity Technique to kill Ghost Cultivators, as such items, in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s view, were only useful to Fu Zongjue and might have been given directly to him.


    However, this did not prevent Chen Mobai from using the information to apply further pressure.


    After hearing this, Yu Changjian felt as if his teeth were about to shatter. Though he knew that Zhou Shengqing hadn¡¯t held any ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± ceremonies for many years, likely indicating his passing away in meditation, in full view of everyone, he had indeed killed many Ghost Cultivators. Thus, faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s words, he could only offer up the most valuable treasures of Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, my sect still has three types of Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine. Should you need any, you may choose one of them!¡±


    The history of these three types of Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine could be traced back to the era of the pioneer cultivators, roughly parallel to the history of Liu Jia Mountain itself.


    Previously, there were seven types, but four had been taken by Ancestor Hunyuan of the Five Elements Sect for some unknown elixir, leaving the rest behind.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of these Spiritual Medicines too, but I know that only the climate here in Rainbow Country can sustain their cultivation. I have no current need for Alchemy, so I won¡¯t take them.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yu Changjian¡¯s expression grow even more bitter.


    This was already the best he could offer.


    If they weren¡¯t interested, could it mean they had already planned to wipe out Liu Jia Mountain?


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please make it clear, how can our sect avoid this disaster?¡±


    While cursing Xu Shengbing in his heart, Yu Changjian had no choice but to continue bowing and apologizing to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the core of the spirit vein in Liu Jia Mountain is a fourth grade Mountain Suppression Stone¡­¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s words fell, Yu Changjian¡¯s face underwent a drastic change.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, without the Mountain Suppression Stone, the power of our Mountain Protection Array will gradually weaken, and within a few years, it will downgrade from rank-4 to rank-3¡­¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that better? A rank-3 formation is more befitting the current Liu Jia Mountain. Having control over a rank-4 Mountain Protection Array is like having a thorn in my side, a constant worry. Only a Liu Jia Mountain that I can completely control poses no threat in my eyes and allows me to leave your lineage in Rainbow Country with peace of mind.¡±


    Before Yu Changjian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Mobai, whose words were very realistic and blunt.


    Initially, Fu Zongjue agreed to seal Liu Jia Mountain not only because he wanted a complete puppet inheritance but also because trying to break through a rank-4 formation was too time-consuming.


    Especially since the Divine Wood Sect had no Nascent Soul cultivators, only by mobilizing a large number of people to bring the Alpha Wood Soldiers to their limit could they possibly shake the power of a rank-4 formation.


    At the same time, an Earth Master needed to act, either by damaging the spirit vein of Liu Jia Mountain or utilizing something as malicious as a Bead that Breaks Meridians to stand a chance of breaking through.


    After the sealing, Liu Jia Mountain, sitting on a fourth-grade spirit vein and a top-ranked large formation, could possibly produce another Golden Core cultivator and return to its peak if left to develop.


    Chen Mobai, who wanted to turn the barren Rainbow Country back into green mountains and clear waters, naturally would not leave the hidden danger of Liu Jia Mountain within this land of merit.


    He had been pondering how to address this issue; originally, he planned to transplant the Biyu Wutong during the desertification treatment and slowly integrate the spiritual veins of the entire Rainbow Country, reducing Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s fourth-grade spirit vein to third-grade.


    But that would take too much time.


    Now, with the excuse from Xu Shengbing, he planned to first dismantle Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s status symbol as a major East Wilderness Sect¡¯s rank-4 large formation.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, about this matter¡­¡±


    Yu Changjian¡¯s face showed continuous struggle; he was well aware of the consequences after handing over the fourth-grade Mountain Suppression Stone¨Cit meant giving up the last of his sect¡¯s ability to resist the Divine Wood Sect.


    But if they didn¡¯t hand it over, he could tell from the attitude of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Core Sect Leader who came personally, today¡¯s affairs wouldn¡¯t end on good terms.


    ¡°Sect Master Yu, I can make a promise that as long as you hand over this fourth-grade Mountain Suppression Stone, I will absolutely not take action against Liu Jia Mountain as long as I live.¡±


    Seeing his struggling expression, Chen Mobai added fuel to the fire with his statement.


    ¡°Can Sect Master Chen¡¯s words represent the entire Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    However, Yu Changjian was an old hand at such maneuverings and wanted to prevent Chen Mobai from playing word games, knowing all too well that the Divine Wood Sect had more than one Golden Core cultivator.


    ¡°Of course!¡±


    On hearing this, Chen Mobai sighed internally. He had initially thought that without his interference, once Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei, and the others reached Core Formation, he could let them act.


    But since Yu Changjian had put it that way, he could only agree.


    After all, once Liu Jia Mountain lost the Mountain Suppression Stone, it would be akin to a tiger without teeth, and in the future, he could plunder their spirit veins and spiritual medicines until the day this major sect of the East Wilderness completely declined.


    Moreover, the fourth-grade Mountain Suppression Stone was not only useful for setting up formations, but in the hands of Zhuo Ming, it could also be used to improve the spirit vein level of Northern Abyss City.


    Northern Abyss City was being built on the scale of the Eastern Desolation Plateau¡¯s number one Immortal City, and its third-grade spirit vein was becoming increasingly inadequate for development.


    E Yun had previously proposed upgrading to a fourth-grade spirit vein.


    These years, from selling real estate to renting out shops, they had saved up tens of millions of spirit stones, enough for upgrading the spirit vein.


    However, upgrading to a fourth-grade spirit vein also required treasures that could suppress spiritual energy.


    It was certainly impossible to transplant the fourth-order Spirit Plants from Giant Tree Ridge to Beiyuan Immortal City, so it was stuck there.


    However, the fourth-grade Mountain Suppression Stone just happened to have the ability to suppress spirit veins.


    Yu Changjian and Chen Mobai each made a Dao Heart oath, agreeing that Liu Jia Mountain and the Divine Wood Sect would be friendly allies and not initiate conflicts for a hundred years.


    ¡°Please wait, Sect Master Chen, I will go and fetch the Mountain Suppression Stone!¡±


    Having verified that there were no loose ends on all sides, Yu Changjian sighed and, with a somewhat stooped bearing, flew towards his sect.


    He knew that the unbroken lineage of Liu Jia Mountain might begin its descent during his time.


    But the situation was beyond his control!


    It wasn¡¯t his fault!


    All the blame lay with that bastard, Xu Shengbing¡­

    After redirecting all his anger towards the deceased Xu Shengbing, Yu Changjian holding the sect leader¡¯s token, unlocked the restrictions of the formation one by one and entered the depths of Liu Jia Mountain.


    This was a chamber within the belly of the mountain, with a stone platform in the center.


    Yu Changjian removed the Mountain Suppression Stone that was enshrined on the platform and placed it in a box. Feeling the aura of the large formation around him begin to weaken, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh and turned to deliver the item to Chen Mobai.


    However, there was a tall, black-robed cultivator standing at the doorway, whose presence was unaccounted for as to when they appeared.


    Yu Changjian saw him, first with vigilance and confusion, then his face dramatically changed.

 Chapter 1171 - Chapter 1171 Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng

    Chapter 1171: Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng Chapter 1171: Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng ¡°Sect Master Chen, this Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone is immensely heavy; I am unable to move it. It seems you may have to go down yourself.¡±


    In the midst of the sky, Yu Changjian said to Chen Mobai with an apologetic face.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, donned a meaningful expression, ¡°You¡¯re asking me to enter the Large Formation?¡±


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please rest assured, I can swear a Dao Heart oath that I won¡¯t activate the formation.¡±


    Yu Changjian said with a face full of sincerity.


    ¡°You must know that even if you added up everyone from Liu Jia Mountain, they still couldn¡¯t compare to my life.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, replied with a sarcastic remark, causing Yu Changjian to turn sheepish and wipe the sweat from his forehead with a hand.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go down once.¡±


    Just when Yu Changjian thought the old ancestor¡¯s plan had failed, Chen Mobai suddenly agreed to go down.


    Yu Changjian¡¯s face instantly lit up with joy, already imagining the scene of the elder activating the formation to suppress this formidable enemy, but then he saw Chen Mobai take a puppet out of his storage bag.


    This puppet shimmered with brilliant gold radiance, its wooden texture subtly suffused with flowing flames, as if powerful spells were inscribed upon it, wielding a wooden sword and shield. Its presence was even superior to that of Yu Changjian, the Sect Leader of Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Golden Sun Puppet!¡±


    As a cultivator from the leading puppetry faction of the Eastern Wilderness, Yu Changjian naturally recognized this puppet immediately.


    This was the only puppetry technique that could rival the heritage of Liu Jia Mountain.


    But isn¡¯t this Sect Master Chen a sword cultivator?


    How come he also knows the Puppetry Technique?


    In a state of shock, Yu Changjian saw Chen Mobai already controlling the Golden Sun Puppet and flying to the front of the Large Formation of Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Open the formation. This puppet of mine can also exert the power of a Core Formation. Let¡¯s go down together and retrieve that Mountain Suppression Stone.¡±


    This Golden Sun Puppet used by Chen Mobai was one discarded by Fu Zongjue.


    The Golden Sun Spirit Trees of Divine Wood Sect were extremely precious to the outside world, but for Fu Zongjue, they were at his beck and call, chopping down one whenever he pleased.


    And repairing a damaged Golden Sun Puppet was more troublesome than making a new one, so Fu Zongjue, who didn¡¯t lack materials, would often choose to make anew.


    Those discarded Golden Sun Puppets, some of which Fu Zongjue would bestow upon the Puppet Division, others he would dismantle directly, retrieving some parts that could still be used on new puppets.


    After learning of this, Chen Mobai requested from him a discarded Golden Sun Puppet.


    Although Fu Zongjue found it odd, he generously took Chen Mobai to his puppet cave dwelling and let him pick at will.


    Chen Mobai saw more than a dozen Golden Sun Puppets damaged in battle inside, all made of top-tier Third Rank Superior Grade Golden Yang Wood.


    If a Puppet Master of an Immortal Gate saw this, even Che Yucheng would probably turn green with envy!


    Such a waste!


    Amidst his astonishment, Chen Mobai selected a flawless looking Golden Sun Puppet whose internal parts were shattered, and using his Immortal Gate¡¯s Third Rank Puppetry Technique, combined with The Art of Longevity Puppetry, he remodeled it.


    After all, the Formless Puppets were precious, and Chen Mobai was somewhat reluctant to use them when entering unknown places for exploration.


    This Golden Sun Puppet was just right.


    After all, Fu Zongjue had many discarded defective goods; even if one was lost, Chen Mobai could always pick another and repair it for future use.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Sect Leader Yu, unwilling to open the formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai divided his mind into thoughts, controlling the Golden Sun Puppet to the front of the Large Formation, and upon seeing Yu Changjian¡¯s uncertain demeanor, his vigilance soared.


    Although uncertain why the insignificant Liu Jia Mountain would dare to scheme against him, putting together Xu Shengbing¡¯s attack on Yin Qingmei, he felt he might have underestimated this sect¡¯s hatred towards Divine Wood Sect.


    With this thought, his pupils narrowed slightly, and an imposing murderous aura woke Yu Changjian from his daze.


    ¡°No, not at all, Sect Master Chen, this way, please!¡±


    Yu Changjian, following Yan Fusheng¡¯s instruction, was to lure Chen Mobai into Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Large Formation, but now he had only managed to lure in a Golden Sun Puppet, which left him perplexed.


    However, he then thought that since the Golden Sun Puppet represented the combat prowess of a Rank-3, suppressing Chen the demon¡¯s puppet would be an accomplishment.


    So he immediately opened a gateway in the formation, allowing the puppet to enter.


    Chen Mobai, also curious about what his adversaries had in store inside their gourd, manipulated the puppet to enter, following Yu Changjian to the deep belly of Liu Jia Mountain.


    They entered a cave dwelling, and it wasn¡¯t long before they saw the Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone enshrined on a stone platform.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze was drawn to a tall black-robed cultivator standing beside it.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°May I ask who you are?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Fusheng, seeing that only a Golden Sun Puppet had come in, couldn¡¯t hide his disappointment, but at this point, he had no choice but to make his move.


    ¡°Young man, isn¡¯t it good enough for you to stay quietly as Sect Leader in your Divine Wood Sect? Why insist on courting death at Liu Jia Mountain!¡±


    As Yan Fusheng spoke, his eagle-like eyes flashed with azure light, an invisible and formless Divine consciousness fluctuation transforming into a sinister attack. Like a chilly and bone-penetrating wind, it silently invaded the Golden Sun Puppet.


    Then, with a snap!


    The Golden Sun Puppet, capable of suppressing any Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, seemed to lose all control, shattering into pieces and falling onto the floor of the cave dwelling.

 Chapter 1172 - Chapter 1172 Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng_2

    Chapter 1172: Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng_2 Chapter 1172: Chapter 646 Yan Fusheng_2 ¡°Ancestor¡¯s divine might!¡±


    Yu Changjian, following behind, couldn¡¯t help but feel greatly uplifted upon witnessing this scene.


    This Divine Sense Yin Wind technique was specifically used by Liu Jia Mountain to counter Puppet Masters.


    With just a light and effortless stroke, Yan Fusheng had shattered Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense that was controlling the Golden Sun Puppet, highlighting his immensely high cultivation level and the formidable strength of his Divine Sense.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, lest Sect Master Chen escapes!¡±


    Yan Fusheng, however, treated it as if he had done a very simple thing, his expression calm as he walked past the broken Golden Sun Puppet, with the black smoke-like ghostly fire and Yin Wind flying out of the cave dwelling he had hidden in for decades.


    When the Blood Curse within Xu Shengbing¡¯s body acted up, Yan Fusheng knew that the plan to plunder the Heavenly Spiritual Root had failed, and he was clearly aware that, given the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s style, they would definitely not let Liu Jia Mountain get away.


    He had considered whether to change locations and just endure it, to seek vengeance against the Divine Wood Sect after his magic had reached a great level of mastery.


    But in the end, he chose to exit his retreat!


    Because without the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, it would take him at least a hundred years to cultivate into an Embodied Nascent Soul.


    And with Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s talent, even as an enemy, he had to admit, it was truly stunning and exceptional!


    Yan Fusheng feared that within this century, this young man might advance to ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ before him.


    If that were the case, even if he managed to cultivate an Embodied Nascent Soul, with the strength of a Sword Cultivator, he probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for him.


    After much deliberation, Yan Fusheng decided not to hide anymore!


    He wanted to come out of his seclusion!


    He would use the head of this top Sword Cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness in the Divine Wood Sect to formally announce his return!


    The moment he lost contact with the Golden Sun Puppet, Chen Mobai sensed a terrifying surge of chilly Spiritual Power Fluctuation erupting violently within Liu Jia Mountain.


    Upon sensing this Spiritual Power, he, who had been hesitant about whether to flee and later gather Fu Zongjue, Mo Douguang, along with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army for revenge, suddenly felt resolute!


    This chilling Spiritual Power was all too familiar to Chen Mobai; it was the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power that had catalyzed Luo Yixuan¡¯s Core Formation.


    In other words, the one who struck at his Golden Sun Puppet was a Ghost Cultivator!


    Since it was a Ghost Cultivator, he, who had been Cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, immediately stood tall, his face calm and composed, awaiting the arrival of his opponent.


    At that moment, the skies, which had been clear, suddenly became windy with bitter cold breezes, and the change in the cold temperature gathered clouds of darkness, as if a black Heavenly Curtain had blocked out all the sunlight.


    Liu Jia Mountain, already barren with only a few sparse Spirit Plants due to its location in the desert, looked even more desolate and lifeless as Yan Fusheng emerged, with the vegetation withering yellow and the view bleak.


    With his long hair dark as ink, plus his tall stature and black battle robes, Yan Fusheng looked like a fierce ghost from the Netherworld, causing an involuntary shiver among the Liu Jia Mountain Cultivators who were unaware of the situation.


    ¡°Who goes there?¡±


    Nevertheless, faced with such a terrifyingly imposing Cultivator, Chen Mobai spoke calmly.


    His composure and confidence only elicited roaring laughter from Yu Changjian.


    ¡°Old Demon Chen, this is our Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Ancestor Yan Fusheng. Today, unless the Ancestor Hunyuan of the Five Elements Sect is resurrected, you are surely doomed!¡±


    Chen Mobai had certainly heard of Yan Fusheng¡¯s reputation as the indisputable number one Golden Core Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness in the era of the Five Elements Sect.


    He was also rumored to have taken the step towards Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, the rumor was that he had failed at Nascent Soul Formation due to severe injuries and had passed away during meditation.


    It was unexpected that he had become a Ghost Cultivator and survived.


    Chen Mobai recalled that Elder Ming once mentioned that there was a powerful Ghost Cultivator hidden among the ruins of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, which must have been Yan Fusheng.


    Considering his status as the ancestor of Liu Jia Mountain, his manipulation of Xu Shengbing was plausible.


    Perhaps, throughout these years, he had been the one backing the Ghost Cultivators targeting the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Pity that after lingering on for a hundred years, you are still destined to perish by my hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a look of regret, and upon hearing this, Yan Fusheng felt the youngster was incredibly arrogant, but then, thinking of his identity as a Sword Cultivator, he also understood it in his heart.


    If not for such a character, how could one train to wield the unmatched sword of the Eastern Wilderness!


    Only a Sword Cultivator would still not flee at the first opportunity under such circumstances!


    After all, Yan Fusheng did not hide his aura when he emerged.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s early Golden Core stage, it was impossible for him to defeat someone at the perfect Core Formation!


    ¡°Brat, Ancestor Hunyuan destroyed my foundation and forced me into the Ghost Path. Let me take out a bit of that hatred on you first!¡±


    After Yan Fusheng emerged, he spoke his first sentence. His voice was deep and powerful, and as soon as he spoke, the dark clouds suddenly flashed with lightning, followed by a torrential downpour.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity for this rain. It would be great if it poured over the defense forest.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, still had the mood to lament, while the blue glint in Yan Fusheng¡¯s eyes flared once again. Although his realm was higher, he would not underestimate any opponent.


    The lion uses all its strength even when hunting a rabbit. This Divine Sense Attack, akin to a yin wind technique, was not only effective against puppets but also could absolutely suppress opponents of a lower realm.


    After all, in terms of Divine Sense, he who is at the peak of Core Formation could certainly crush a cultivator at the early stage of Golden Core.


    Being someone who also cultivated Divine Slash, Chen Mobai naturally understood the routine of Divine Sense Attacks.


    Just as he was about to activate his life-bound magic treasure, the Morning Bell, to defend himself, he suddenly noticed that Yan Fusheng had not yet emerged from within the Rank-4 Large Formation of Liu Jia Mountain, which gave him a slight pause.


    Even if he used the Purple Electric Sword with all his might, it would be impossible to kill an opponent within the Rank-4 Large Formation.


    And if he was to engage Yan Fusheng today, he would have to be certain of a fatal blow; otherwise, with this person stationed at Liu Jia Mountain, he would not dare to send Zhuo and others to deal with Sha Lide.


    He needed to lure him out of the formation!


    As his thoughts flickered, Chen Mobai had already figured out his strategy for this Magic Duel.


    At the same time, a faint thread of golden light began to shine in his pupils as the Guidance Book started rotating.


    Yan Fusheng, full of confidence that he would kill Chen Mobai in one move, found his Divine Consciousness Yin Wind striking against a soft wall, unable to invade the opponent¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    With suspicion in his heart, he saw an ethereal shadow of a flower with green leaves and petals of green and white bloom from Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Indeed, he is a person of astonishing fate¨Cable to refine Spiritual Objects that defend against Divine Sense Attacks! But I will let you know just how fragile the Sword Cultivator¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion truly is against absolute Divine Sense suppression!¡±


    Upon seeing the Dalit Flower, Yan Fusheng knew the reason and tested the strength of the flower¡¯s barrier with his Divine Consciousness Yin Wind. His pupils shone an even more intense blue light.


    Yan Fusheng had fought countless battles since he began his cultivation, facing numerous opponents, among which there were those who could defend against Divine Sense Attacks.


    Under the even more ferocious Divine Consciousness Yin Wind of Yan Fusheng, Chen Mobai¡¯s usually calm expression slightly changed, and the shadow of the Big Tree Flower on his forehead seemed to be unable to bear the strain, gradually starting to wilt.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any words and immediately turned and fled with the Five-Colored Mist.


    ¡°Haha, you are undoubtedly going to die today!¡±


    Seeing this, Yan Fusheng had no doubts; after all, even though Sword Cultivators are stubborn, they would not simply throw their lives away when clearly outmatched.


    Amidst his loud laughter, dark ghostly flames under his feet burned and rose, lifting his massive body into a black streak that rushed out of the Liu Jia Mountain formation.


    To avoid Chen Mobai¡¯s escape and a prolonged chase that could bring unexpected complications, Yan Fusheng also used a secret technique to push his ghostly Fire Escape Skill to its limit.


    The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, soon spanned dozens of miles of desert.


    Eventually, Chen Mobai was cornered by Yan Fusheng on top of a sand dune.


    ¡°If you have any last words, say them now. I will pass them on to Mo Douguang for you.¡±


    Fu Zongjue achieved Core Formation after Yan Fusheng¡¯s passing away in meditation, so in the latter¡¯s mind, Mo Douguang was the second person he intended to kill after coming out of the mountain.


    ¡°Hmm, this is about right!¡±


    But Chen Mobai said something that took Yan Fusheng by surprise.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°What¡¯s about right?¡±


    ¡°The distance is about right. If I kill you here, you won¡¯t be able to escape back to the formation in Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yan Fusheng laugh out loud with anger. He didn¡¯t bother to say much to the ¡°brat¡± before him anymore, as he had passed the age of winning with words. The blue light in his eyes flickered to the extreme.


    His mighty Divine Consciousness turned into a fearsome yin wind, like a mountainside tsunami, shattering the Dalit Flower phantom in an instant, then howling as it surged toward the Purple Palace of the Eyebrow Heart, aiming to obliterate Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense.


    Just as Yan Fusheng intended to annihilate Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, a sound of a deep and heavy bell rang out¡­

 Chapter 1173 - Chapter 1173 Chapter 647 Jade Slip Legal Body Nascent Soul

    Chapter 1173: Chapter 647 Jade Slip: Legal Body Nascent Soul (Thanks to the Chief who can¡¯t be a demon) Chapter 1173: Chapter 647 Jade Slip: Legal Body Nascent Soul (Thanks to the Chief who can¡¯t be a demon) The bell¡¯s peal was grand and imposing, like a wall of bronze and iron, blocking all the Divine Consciousness Yin Wind attacks that Yan Fusheng took pride in.


    ¡°Your Lifespan Artifact is not a sword?¡±


    Yan Fusheng, seeing the large bell appearing above Chen Mobai¡¯s head, couldn¡¯t help but show a look of shock and suspicion.


    As a Sword Cultivator, having a Flying Sword that resonated with one¡¯s heart and mind was crucial for one¡¯s combat capabilities.


    Even though many Sword Cultivators felt the need to compensate for their weaknesses in areas other than attack, they would use other means, and absolutely would not use their Lifespan Artifact to do so.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you have a Fourth Order Sword Artifact from the Longevity Sect, which is probably sufficient for your use, so you made such a choice for your Lifespan Artifact¡­¡±


    But Yan Fusheng quickly realized something, his eyes dimming from a watery blue cold light to an inky black. He gently patted his storage bag at his waist, and a scorpion-shaped puppet flew out.


    The Scorpion Puppet swung its tail spike, heavily striking towards the morning bell above Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    However, multi-colored clouds and mists appeared, using softness to overcome strength, blocking the piercing attack from Yan Fusheng¡¯s puppet; but then the tail spike instantly retracted and gathered power again, flashing a faint cold light, and striking continuously, causing bursts of sonic booms.


    Sizzling!


    Chen Mobai clearly understood that in a confrontation with someone like Yan Fusheng, one must go all out, so he immediately drew the Purple Electric Sword from his Domain!


    Accompanied by the roaring Purple Lightning, the unprepared scorpion-shaped puppet had its stinger severed. Then the Sword Light, like thunder, struck the puppet¡¯s back, cutting it into two.


    ¡°Nice sword, but it¡¯s a pity that after this battle, it will be my spoils of war!¡±


    Yan Fusheng, upon seeing the Purple Electric Sword Artifact, displayed a glint in his eyes, feeling not the slightest fear.


    Chen Mobai also kept an impassive face, directly channeling the Pure Yang Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea to its limits, and ferociously swung the Purple Electric Sword toward Yan Fusheng.


    In the midst of thunderous roars, it was as if a purple thunderbolt had struck down upon the desert, an awe-inspiring sight.


    Yet, a tall cultivator, looking like a Ghost God, was controlling a Puppet giant hand made of the vast yellow sand and a piece of dark cloth, capturing the descending Purple Lightning Sword Light in one grasp.


    In a series of dull explosions, a massive sandstorm erupted and spread at the center of their confrontation!


    Yellow sand churned in the sky, purple lightning, like a dragon, continuously clashed against the dark giant ghostly silhouette. The terrifying and vast Spiritual Energy fluctuations caused the sandstorm to grow even larger, obscuring the surrounding heaven and earth.


    After four successive exchanges, the luminance of the Purple Electric Sword suddenly erupted to its peak, tearing open a slit in the dark ghostly figure, but the Puppet giant hand managed to twist and redirect its trajectory.


    Boom!


    Purple Lightning Sword Light broke free but lost control, bursting into the spreading sandstorm on the outside.


    The fearsome sandstorm, when faced with the Purple Lightning Sword Light, was violently split open in an instant, revealing the two combatants within.


    In Yan Fusheng¡¯s laughter, he relied on his profound Spiritual Power to block the fiercest attack of the Purple Electric Sword. The dark cloth covering the yellow sand hand was unknown at what Grade but it was not demonstrative of Spiritual Light, yet it was impenetrable by the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became slightly serious, knowing that this opponent was the most formidable he had encountered since his arrival in the Eastern Wilderness.


    One should know, even Elder Ming¡¯s Moonlight Blade would wail continuously when facing the Purple Electric Sword.


    But the stronger the opponent, the calmer Chen Mobai became.


    The golden lines in his eyes multiplied, gradually outlining half of Yan Fusheng¡¯s silhouette.


    After entering the state of the Guidance Book completely, there were no thoughts in his mind other than killing his opponent.


    ¡°Go to hell!¡±


    Yan Fusheng, seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s pale complexion, knew the opponent¡¯s Spiritual Power was exhausted and instantly switched from defense to offense, using the Puppet giant hand like a dark curtain covering the sky, pressing down over Chen Mobai.


    But in his heart, he was also astounded that Chen Mobai, truly a Sword Cultivation Genius, could actually wield a Fourth Order Sword and cast four strikes. If not for his possession of the treasured dark banner from Liu Jia Mountain, he might not have been able to block it unscathed.


    However, Chen Mobai, facing such an attack, remained expressionless.


    Feeling the renewed emptiness in his Dantian Qi Sea, he silently drew forth stored Pure Yang Spiritual Power from the second vertebra of his All Laws Persona.


    Then, he released his grip on the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, sending it skyward!


    Rumbling thunder!


    The Sword Artifact, now unrestrained and fueled by his Spiritual Power, burst forth with its magnificent and fierce power. Thunderbolts were conjured mid-air, confronting the black Heavenly Curtain formed by the Puppet giant hand.

    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯ve fallen into my trap, without this Fourth Order Sword Artifact, how will you face me!¡±


    In Yan Fusheng¡¯s laughter, he unleashed the power of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Supreme Treasure, the dark mist spreading rapidly, trapping the Purple Electric Sword, then he took action himself, drawing a dark yellow Talisman from his storage bag, and rushed towards Chen Mobai.


    Yan Fusheng confidently pressed the Talisman onto the morning bell, believing he could suppress Chen Mobai¡¯s Rank-3 Lower-grade Lifespan Artifact.


    Without the sword and the bell, a mere Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator was no match for him.


    ¡°In your next life, remember not to be my enemy!¡±

 Chapter 1174 - Chapter 1174 Chapter 647 Jade Slip Embodiment Nascent Soul

    Chapter 1174: Chapter 647 Jade Slip: Embodiment Nascent Soul (Thanks to the Chief who can¡¯t be a demon)_2 Chapter 1174: Chapter 647 Jade Slip: Embodiment Nascent Soul (Thanks to the Chief who can¡¯t be a demon)_2 Yan Fusheng stood erect before Chen Mobai, opening his mouth with poised confidence.


    His right hand splayed open as he fiercely reached for the delicate-looking young man¡¯s neck, appearing ready to twist his opponent¡¯s neck off when an ancient bronze mirror framed in wood suddenly emerged and blocked his right hand.


    Another Rank-3 Magic Artifact!


    This youngster truly has a wealthy possession!


    The thought flashed through Yan Fusheng¡¯s mind, but he had tremendous confidence in his own physique and cultivation level. As long as it wasn¡¯t a Rank-4 Magic Artifact, he feared none!


    Subsequently, his right hand directly grabbed onto the surface of the Haotian Mirror.


    Just as he was about to exert force to shatter both the mirror and Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, a pure white flame tinged with pale gold surged upon the mirror¡¯s surface.


    Golden Flame?


    Seeing the Pure Yang Fire, Yan Fusheng¡¯s mind flashed with a skill that Ancestor Hunyuan had once dominated the Eastern Desolation with and he slightly raised an eyebrow.


    He thought to himself that the young man¡¯s swordsmanship talent truly was astonishing, even this he had mastered!


    But at this time, Yan Fusheng suddenly felt a piercing pain emanate from the five fingers of his right hand.


    He thought it was the temperature of the Golden Flames being too domineeringly yang, and he poured out all the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power from the Qi Sea of his dantian as well.


    Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin spiritual powers are mutually suppressive; as long as his Yellow Springs Spiritual Power volume exceeded the opponent¡¯s Red Flame Spirit Power, he could completely extinguish the Golden Flames!


    With this thought, Yan Fusheng confidently erupted with all his spiritual power!


    He intended to shatter Chen Mobai, the sword cultivator with the strongest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Desolation in a thousand years, in a straightforward clash of spiritual powers!


    Then, the Pure Yang Fire stimulated by the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, burst forth to its extreme!


    ¡°This isn¡¯t right¡­ This isn¡¯t Golden Flame¡­ Ahh¡­¡±


    Yan Fusheng let out a violent scream, his eyes bulging as he abruptly severed his own right hand, attempting to prevent the Pure Yang Fire from spreading throughout his body!


    But Chen Mobai had already pushed the power of the Haotian Mirror back, and a web of Pure Yang Fire surged from the mirror¡¯s surface, forming a fiery net along the path where Yan Fusheng was retreating.


    By this time, the golden lines in Chen Mobai¡¯s left eye had already completely outlined Yan Fusheng¡¯s figure.


    As the Pure Yang Fire net entered Yan Fusheng¡¯s back, thick black smoke, accompanied by his screams of agony, rose from the wounds where the fiery lines had cut through.


    In just a few breaths of time, this evil path giant lay paralyzed upon the sand dune, no longer possessing his initial might.


    ¡°What¡­ kind of¡­ flames¡­ are these¡­¡±


    Yan Fusheng asked with his last breath, eyes wide open.


    Clang!


    The reply came in the form of the Purple Electric Sword Chen Mobai held as he thrust downwards.


    The blade pierced straight into Yan Fusheng¡¯s brow, eradicating the last vestige of life from his Ghost Fetus in the Womb.


    After accomplishing all this, Chen Mobai exited the state of the Guidance Book.


    He felt a previously unknown weakness surge up, filling his heart!


    In order to design this final close-range Pure Yang Fire killing strategy, he had continuously driven the Purple Electric Sword to engage Yan Fusheng, letting the latter confirm that he had exhausted all means.


    Although spiritual power could be drawn and used at any time from the All Laws Persona, the body could not withstand successive outputs of full spiritual power.


    Luckily, after mastering the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, his Divine Sense had become much stronger, leading to an improvement in the Guidance Book, and in the end, he had perfectly completed the combat strategy he had initially set.


    After all, given the unique properties of Pure Yang Fire, if it wasn¡¯t fatal in one strike, Yan Fusheng would have known, certainly leaving no second chance.


    This ancient ghost was indeed formidable!


    In midst of his reflection, Chen Mobai took out a bottle of Longevity Dew to consume, which, for him who had cultivated the Longevity Dao Body, was an elixir of remarkable restorative properties.


    Feeling the pure essence of life flowing through his body along with the Longevity Dew, the weakness slowly dissipated, and Chen Mobai walked toward the body of Yan Fusheng.


    Taking away the storage bag hanging from the waist of the corpse, he waved down a clump of Golden Flames and a streak of Pure Yang Fire!


    Together, the two True Fires swiftly reduced the body of Yan Fusheng to ashes.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    After the cremation, Chen Mobai discovered a strange item among the ashes.


    It was a white jade slip that, if not examined carefully, one might mistakenly think was a piece of bone.


    But Yan Fusheng¡¯s bones couldn¡¯t possibly remain intact under the burning of Chen Mobai¡¯s two types of True Fire.


    ¡°A Jade Slip!?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately remembered the origin of this item, and as Divine Sense surged forth, sure enough, he saw ant-like small characters upon it.


    He had just read a part of the content when his face instantly revealed a look of surprise.


    Because recorded on this jade slip was the method for Legal Body Nascent Soul!


    Unexpectedly, it came without any effort!


    With this, Zhou Shengqing was only missing the Return to the Sun Spirit Water!


    In his excitement, Chen Mobai used his hand to control the air flow, blowing Yan Fusheng¡¯s ashes away, to see if he had missed anything.


    However, there were no more gains.


    But he quickly thought of the black cloth that could withstand the edge of his Purple Lightning Sword. Without the supply of Spiritual Power, the cloth had long fallen from the sky with the yellow sand.


    Chen Mobai looked around at the vast expanse without hurry.


    After resting for a while and recovering a portion of his Divine Sense, he used the Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method.


    About a quarter of an hour later, he finally found the black cloth deep within a sand dune.


    Upon closer inspection, Chen Mobai realized that it seemed to be a part of a flag. He had no idea what Grade the complete flag was as a Magic Artifact, as just a remnant piece was able to block the Purple Electric Sword.


    After probing it with various methods and finding nothing, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any more time and directly placed the black cloth into his Domain.


    He had the intention to open the Storage Bag, but considering there was still a troublemaker, Chen Mobai decided to solve the issue with Liu Jia Mountain first before handling this matter.


    ¡­


    When Yu Changjian saw that the person flying over was Chen Mobai, a look of despair appeared on his face.


    ¡°All the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of Liu Jia Mountain are to commit suicide. Open up the Formation, and I will leave your lineage intact!¡±


    Chen Mobai said in a cold tone, but Yu Changjian didn¡¯t possess the noble character to use his life to protect their legacy. Instead, he fully activated the protection of the Rank-4 Mountain Protection Array, intending to resist to the end.


    At this point, there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between Divine Wood Sect and Liu Jia Mountain.


    Chen Mobai sneered and alone blocked the mountain gate of Liu Jia Mountain in the air.


    Although he knew that given the foundation of Liu Jia Mountain, they certainly had a Teleportation Array, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop people from escaping even if he guarded here.


    But obviously, before he was driven to a desperate situation, Yu Changjian was not planning to give up this Fourth-Grade Spirit Vein.


    Chen Mobai sent a message to Yan Yuanhao, the Town Guard of Rainbow Country. It wasn¡¯t long before monks from the Divine Wood Sect of the three states of the Eastern Desolation Plateau arrived under the leadership of King Zhou.


    The number wasn¡¯t large, only about five hundred, which was fewer than Liu Jia Mountain.


    But half a month later, E Yun arrived with a thousand cultivators mobilized from the major families of the three countries of the Eastern Wilderness; the most active among them were the five major families of Rainbow Country, who had come out in full force.


    The five Nascent Soul Ancestors in front of Chen Mobai fiercely condemned Liu Jia Mountain, saying that Xu Shengbing and Yu Changjian had bullied the local families in past years with the Nascent Soul Ancestor on their side, treating them as less than human. Heaven has eyes, they said, and they were finally awaiting the righteous forces of Divine Wood Sect¡­


    After meeting the five, Chen Mobai immediately arranged for them to be on the front line of attacking Liu Jia Mountain.


    But indeed, the power of the Rank-4 Large Formation was formidable. The allied forces attacked for three full months without making a single step forward.


    To this, Chen Mobai was not in the slightest hurry.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Because Fu Zongjue was personally leading the main army of the Divine Wood Sect!


    The Rank-4 Large Formation, not presided over by any Golden Core Cultivators, finally began to dim under the continuous bombardment of the Alpha Wood Soldiers.


    Even so, it took three thousand cultivators attacking until the end of the year to barely break through the Rank-4 Large Formation.


    The moment the Large Formation broke open, the cultivators from the five major families of Rainbow Country were the first to be sent in.


    Not long after, the entire Large Formation shattered with a thunderous crash!

 Chapter 1175 - Chapter 1175 Chapter 648 The Harvest from the Annihilation of

    Chapter 1175: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Annihilation of Liu Jia Mountain Chapter 1175: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Annihilation of Liu Jia Mountain When the large formation showed signs of breaking, Yu Changjian and other Foundation Establishment practitioners didn¡¯t possess the breadth of heart to stay and defend the Sect¡¯s honor. Instead, they all escaped through the teleportation array.


    Those left behind were the Qi Cultivating disciples.


    After being betrayed by Yu Changjian, the Sect Leader, most of these people directly surrendered, although some resisted unto death. But under the suppression of the enemy army, they only caused minor disturbances.


    Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue reached the summit of Liu Jia Mountain and observed nearly a thousand Qi Cultivating disciples being escorted below. The latter¡¯s expression turned cold as he pondered whether to completely annihilate them.


    ¡°This suits perfectly, the workers for the cultivators¡¯ river construction are insufficient. Seal part of their spiritual power and take them as labor,¡± said Chen Mobai, already having devised a plan for these individuals.


    Upon hearing his words, Fu Zongjue did not object, and Zhou Wangshen immediately began commanding the Divine Wood Sect cultivators to place restrictions on these Qi Cultivating disciples from Liu Jia Mountain.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the flames have all been extinguished, and most of the scriptures have been rescued,¡± reported E Yun, who had returned from fighting the fire.


    In the Eastern Wilderness tradition, a Sect¡¯s lineage would be burned before its destruction.


    However, since Yu Changjian and the other Foundation Establishment practitioners were preoccupied with escaping, they delegated this task to the True Disciples.


    But among them were those who knew that if they wished to survive, the lineage of Liu Jia Mountain might be the most crucial bargaining chip.


    Thus, many did not follow Yu Changjian¡¯s order to set fire to the books. Some even went so far as to stop their fellow sect members who tried to adhere to the orders.


    Consequently, when E Yun and his group arrived, over ninety percent of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s lineage scriptures were intact and undamaged. The few that were burned were of lower ranking, and many True Disciples could even recite them from memory.


    ¡°Very good, after organizing everything, send them to the Sect immediately,¡± commanded Fu Zongjue, overjoyed with the news.


    He had obtained the contents of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Puppetry Techniques previously, but after years of contemplation, he always felt something was off. It seemed as if there was a missing summary to weave the content together.


    Determined to find what was missing now that he had the complete lineage of Liu Jia Mountain, he couldn¡¯t believe it wouldn¡¯t be among the trove.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, I found these three books in Yan Fusheng¡¯s storage bag. They should be useful to you,¡± said Chen Mobai, handing over the books to Fu Zongjue.


    Fu Zongjue was ecstatic upon inspecting them. The three books were titled ¡°Six Primary Heaven Strategies,¡± consisting of upper, middle, and lower volumes, detailing the crafting methods of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s most powerful puppet, ¡°The Six Primary Heavenly General.¡±


    This was a Rank-4 puppet, passed down generationally in the hands of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Nascent Soul Ancestors.


    Compared to ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry¡¯s¡± Little Azure Dragon, refining the Six Primary Heavenly General was much simpler. If Fu Zongjue could master its creation, he would dominate the Golden Core Realm with ease.


    Last time, after slaying Nan Shidao, he did not gain this art, and it was missing from within Liu Jia Mountain as well, leading Fu Zongjue to believe it might have been lost to time with Yan Fusheng¡¯s passing away in meditation.


    ¡°Thank you, junior brother,¡± Fu Zongjue expressed his gratitude after inspecting the books and made no hesitation in accepting the ¡°Six Primary Heaven Strategies.¡±


    Having acquired what he desired, he had no interest in remaining further. With Chen Mobai overseeing the situation, he decided to return to the Sect.


    ¡°Fu Shixiong, take this to Brother Zhou as well,¡± Chen Mobai called out to him, passing a jade slip that recorded the methods of the Legal Body Nascent Soul. Fu Zongjue was initially surprised but, after examining it with his Divine Sense, was utterly astonished.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°Remember, keep this confidential,¡± Chen Mobai reminded as they spoke, having already concealed their surroundings with the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk.¡± The matter of the Legal Body Nascent Soul was crucial for the Divine Wood Sect to truly unify the Eastern Wilderness.


    Only with Nascent Soul Cultivators in place could they engage on equal terms with the surrounding wolves and tigers.


    For this very reason, the appearance of any Nascent Soul Cultivator was a major event that could alter the balance of power in the Eastern Wilderness and the two neighboring realms.


    Existing Nascent Soul Cultivators certainly did not wish for the rise of a new peer.


    And in an environment like the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai felt that without a Nascent Soul Cultivator in position, it would be impossible to bring about a change in the era and establish everlasting peace.


    ¡°Junior brother, this is a divine feat. We just now need the Return to the Sun Spirit Water!¡± said Fu Zongjue after completing his review of the jade slip, his face flushed with excitement. As a native of the Eastern Wilderness, he understood the significance of Nascent Soul Cultivators better than Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The Sect can start collecting the ingredients for refining the Return to the Sun Spirit Water. The question is who to get to refine it¡­¡± Fu Zongjue murmured to himself, even considering the possibility of him and the other two Golden Core Cultivators, along with Mo Douguang, pressuring Yan Shaoyin to do it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start with collecting the ingredients. I¡¯ll think of a way to find an Alchemist,¡± suggested Chen Mobai, though he did not plan to do so. Apart from whether Yan Shaoyin¡¯s skills were up to par¨Cor even if he were willing to refine¨Cthe slightest ill-intent could easily result in a failed attempt.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, employing him to refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water would essentially announce Zhou Shengqing¡¯s transformation into the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    If word got out, not only the Nascent Soul Major Factions in the East Barbarians but even Dongwu might covet the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Thinking of the Soul Nourishing Wood, Chen Mobai recalled other gains from Yan Fusheng¡¯s storage bag, and a slight smile appeared on his face.


    Fu Zongjue took it as Chen Mobai¡¯s happiness for Zhou Shengqing in obtaining the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    After a bit more conversation, Fu Zongjue used a puppet body to publicly leave Liu Jia Mountain in front of everyone. Then his true body stealthily joined the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army, escorting Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s disciples to the Eastern Desolation Plateau. He left the group midway, quietly heading toward Jian Country.

 Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176 Chapter 648 The Harvest from the Ruin of Liu Jia

    Chapter 1176: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Ruin of Liu Jia Mountain_2 Chapter 1176: Chapter 648: The Harvest from the Ruin of Liu Jia Mountain_2 However, Chen Mobai had already taken photos and scanned the contents of the Legal Body Nascent Soul with his phone. It wouldn¡¯t matter even if this jade slip was lost, but since Fu Zongjue treated it with such caution, he couldn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is the Mountain Suppression Stone!¡±


    At this moment, Ma Gang, the head of the Spirit Vein Division, brought over the initial target that Chen Mobai had in mind.


    Before the Foundation Establishment members of Liu Jia Mountain departed, they took away soul crystals, fourth-grade medicinal herbs, and various other treasures, but they dared not touch this fourth-grade Mountain Suppression Stone.


    Because it was related to the power of the Mountain Protection Array.


    The moment this item was removed, the already precarious formation would instantly collapse, leaving them no time to escape via the Teleportation Array.


    It was precisely for this reason that right after breaking the array, Chen Mobai immediately instructed the Spirit Vein Division to search for this Mountain Suppression Stone.


    Ma Gang, second only to Zhuo Ming in being an Earth Master within the Divine Wood Sect, perfectly completed the task assigned by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sect Leader, Liu Jia Mountain is also a fourth-grade spirit vein. How should we deal with it?¡± E Yun asked at this moment.


    ¡°Turn it into a branch of our sect. Once the channeling of water to White River in Rock Country is completed and Ming¡¯er and the others come over to manage the desertification, we can use this as a cultivation site,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    The spirit vein of Liu Jia Mountain was of fire and earth attributes, which was exactly suitable for the growth of the Biyu Wutong.


    After the desertification of Rainbow Country is resolved, there¡¯ll still be the Boundless Sand Sea, which has been ravaged by locusts countless years ago. All these are the contributions and merits of Zhuo Ming and himself. The fourth-grade spirit vein of Liu Jia Mountain will serve as the perfect base for future desert management efforts.


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone showed an envious look on their faces.


    They all envied Zhuo Ming for having such an excellent master, who had already prepared a fourth-grade spirit vein cultivation site well in advance.


    However, before Zhuo Ming and the others arrived, the spirit vein of Liu Jia Mountain certainly shouldn¡¯t be wasted.


    According to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s rules, naturally, Yan Yuanhao, the town guard of Rainbow Country, would benefit.


    ¡°Yu Changjian and the others left through a small Teleportation Array, they must still be within the territory of Rainbow Country. Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin will each lead a team of Foundation Establishment practitioners to hunt them down. If they enter the Land of Ruins, there¡¯s no need to pursue further¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai then arranged the mission to hunt down the remnants of Liu Jia Mountain. Eager to distinguish themselves, both Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin immediately tallied up the Foundation Establishment members under their command and headed north.


    Even though Yu Changjian and his group destroyed the opposite Teleportation Array, with the combined efforts of the Spirit Vein Division and the Formation Division of the Divine Wood Sect, they were still able to roughly deduce the direction of teleportation.


    Now, Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin feared that Yu Changjian and his group might have fled into the ruins, a place filled with danger and high-level ancient demonic beasts, which they didn¡¯t dare to enter.


    Chen Mobai shared this sentiment, as after all, it wasn¡¯t easy for the sect to train Foundation Establishment practitioners, and they shouldn¡¯t be lost in a place like the ruins.


    After arranging most of the matters concerning the capture of Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t return to Giant Tree Ridge. Instead, he stayed to oversee the fourth-grade Spirit Vein.


    Clearly, this was also necessary.


    Soon enough, as the Foundation Establishment cultivators who escaped Liu Jia Mountain started to appear in various places throughout Rainbow Country. It seemed internal rifts had also emerged among them; some planned to flee deep into the heart of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, others intended to hide in the mountains and sands, and some truly ventured into the ruins¡­


    However, many Foundation Establishment practitioners needed a supply of second-grade or higher spirit veins for their cultivation, which made it quite difficult for them to hide.


    In the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s searching efforts, sometimes when they encountered the concealed Foundation Establishment members of Liu Jia Mountain, they turned out to be no match for them.


    After losing one Foundation Establishment practitioner and a cultivator family in Rainbow Country being wiped out, Chen Mobai personally took action, killing three late-phase Foundation Establishment practitioners of Liu Jia Mountain.


    Subsequently, both Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin made their kills, and soon after, with one Liu Jia Mountain Foundation Establishment practitioner after another being eliminated, the previously tumultuous Rainbow Country gradually quieted down.


    By then, the news of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s downfall had spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, causing a huge shock.


    Hearing the news, the other major sects were all worried about their own safety, fearing that Chen Mobai, the warlike Sect Leader, would target them next.


    But for the Divine Wood Sect, this was merely a counterattack.


    ¡°`


    If Liu Jia Mountain hadn¡¯t actively broken the agreement with Fu Zongjue, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have spent nearly half a year trying to break through a Rank-4 Large Formation.


    Northern Abyss City.


    Elder Ming put down the piece of pitch-black wood in her hand, nodded to Chen Mobai, and confirmed his guess.


    ¡°Saint Child, this is Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face also showed great excitement.


    Initially, when he had used the Space Talisman to open Yan Fusheng¡¯s Storage Bag, he had seen this item and felt that its aura was almost identical to that of the newly advanced Soul Nourishing Wood in Giant Tree Ridge.


    But Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood was too precious, and he had some difficulty believing that his luck could be so good.


    At the critical moment of the Breaking Array, Chen Mobai had suppressed this matter in his heart.


    Now that the overall situation was settled, he no longer needed to stand guard at Liu Jia Mountain. He simply returned to Northern Abyss City and had Elder Ming, a professional, appraise it.


    After getting the definite answer, Chen Mobai felt that he had started practising the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram somewhat late.


    If he had had such good luck earlier, he might have been able to extract even more valuable items from Nanxuan Jing¡¯s Storage Bag.


    In Yan Fusheng¡¯s Storage Bag, apart from the piece of Soul Nourishing Wood, there were three books recording Rank-4 Puppets ¨C Heavenly Generals of the Six Jia, a large pile of Spirit Stones, and two sealed Black Jade Boxes.


    Not recognizing the Restriction on the Black Jade Boxes, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to rashly destroy them to open, so he had been setting them aside, planning to find a more professional person to consult at the Immortal Gate.


    He had already thought about it ¨C he would buy another Void Blind Box when the time came, pretending that the items had been found inside it.


    ¡°The Yan Fusheng you mentioned, is he that Ghost Cultivator hidden in the Land of Ruins? He possesses Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood as well as the Alchemy Recipe for the Legal Body Nascent Soul. Could it be that he intended to abandon the path of Ghost Cultivation?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Elder Ming, as this question had perplexed him for a long time.


    ¡°Report to the Saint Child, we Ghost Cultivators need to seize a Ghost Fetus in the Womb to be able to move in the Living World. If we advance to Rank-4 Ghost Kings, the restrictions of the Living World become even more severe on us. To exhibit our strength, forming a Legal Body Nascent Soul is a good method. Yan Fusheng probably wanted to first become a Legal Body Nascent Soul, and then reverse the process to advance to a Rank-4 Ghost King, utilizing the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood to its fullest extent,¡± Elder Ming explained, and Chen Mobai¡¯s face revealed an expression of sudden realization.


    In Nether Huangquan, to advance to a Rank-4 Ghost King also requires Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    When Chen Mobai received the Soul Nourishing Wood from Elder Ming, Luo Yixuan by his side had been watching with a burning gaze the entire time.


    She had solidified a Ghost Pill, which was equivalent to a Rank-3 Ghost Cultivator ¨C if she could obtain this Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood in the future, wouldn¡¯t it make becoming a Rank-4 Ghost King effortless?


    Rank-4, that¡¯s equivalent to Nascent Soul!


    Facing such a temptation, Luo Yixuan naturally felt a surge of excitement.


    ¡°Lack of ambition. My disciple must rely on herself to solidify a true Nascent Soul. If you set your mind on taking a side path through Ghost Cultivation, your future achievements might well be the lowest of my disciples,¡± Chen Mobai immediately scolded as he saw Luo Yixuan¡¯s expression, and she quickly lowered her head in shame.


    After reprimanding her for a while, and seeing Luo Yixuan¡¯s repentant attitude, Chen Mobai¡¯s anger dissipated, and he placed the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood into his own Domain.


    However, in his heart, he was thinking:


    Does the Immortal Gate consider a Legal Body Nascent Soul as a true Nascent Soul?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If he claimed that he had obtained such a Technique from the Void Blind Box, would it cause a commotion in the Immortal Gate?


    Could he then seamlessly introduce the Alchemy Recipe for Return to the Sun Spirit Water, claiming it was also found in the Void Blind Box?


    Perhaps, the many pharmaceutical factories of the Immortal Gate would try to replicate this Ancient Elixir Method.


    Although Di Yuan Star lacked some of the primary and supplementary ingredients for Return to the Sun Spirit Water, Chen Mobai felt that, given the Immortal Gate¡¯s Alchemy Technique, they should be able to substitute other substances to achieve success.

 Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177 Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity

    Chapter 1177: Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique Chapter 1177: Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City for a while longer and, once he was sure that the remnants of Liu Jia Mountain were no longer a threat, he prepared to return to the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, just as he was about to leave, Zhuo Ming brought him some good news.


    While opening up a new river channel, she had discovered another strand of Qi of Creation.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed, thinking to himself that his true disciple indeed lived up to his expectations. He immediately went to find her in person.


    The place where the Qi of Creation was found was named Swallow Mountain, with only a Rank-1 Spirit Vein, named for its resemblance to a soaring swallow.


    Employing the co-cultivation method, Chen Mobai assisted Zhuo Ming in extracting the Qi of Creation using the All-things Altruistic Cauldron. After he took one-tenth of it for himself with the Spirit Sealing Tube, he let Zhuo Ming refine it on the spot at Swallow Mountain.


    This was the fourth strand of Qi of Creation that Zhuo Ming had refined, and she was well-practiced in the process.


    Three days later, she opened her eyes and got up with a happy expression on her face.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, send a current of your spiritual power over to me.¡±


    As was his custom, Chen Mobai checked the numerical value of Zhuo Ming¡¯s Spiritual Root to see if his hypothesis about the Qi of Creation was correct.


    [Metal 3, Wood 22, Water 23, Fire 9, Earth 72].


    Chen Mobai took several deep breaths to calm himself after seeing the Spiritual Root values displayed on the somewhat aged screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments. Only then did he regain his composure.


    Zhuo Ming was just 8 points away from breaking through to Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.


    When he first took her as a disciple, he never imagined that he would be able to cultivate her to such an impressive level.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai remain silent for a long time, Zhuo Ming thought something might have gone wrong with her refinement of the Qi of Creation, so she asked with some concern.


    ¡°Nothing much, your master is just a bit too happy,¡± Chen Mobai said with a big laugh, causing Zhuo Ming to feel puzzled, but she smiled widely since her master was laughing.


    With Zhuo Ming¡¯s current Earth Spirit Root, even if she is unlucky and each Earth Veins Elixir only adds one point, she will still comfortably exceed 80.


    Additionally, with the constant accumulation of Qi of Creation, even if her Earth Spirit Root numerical value cannot be increased further, it will solidify the foundation of a true Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    If she could obtain the Cultivation Method of the Primordial Dao Fruit in the future, coupled with the merit from river management and sand treatment, her disciple may even have greater prospects for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± than Yin Qingmei.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai was naturally extremely happy.


    He even felt an impulse to have this disciple return to the sect to focus on Farming and protection once again.


    But after careful consideration, he knew that for a chick to grow, it must face the vicissitudes of the outside world, and moreover, if she never left the sect, how could she find more Qi of Creation?


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, should you encounter any danger, remember to prioritize your safety above all else¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai went on at length, and Zhuo Ming listened and memorized everything seriously.


    After talking with her disciple at the foot of the mountain, Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei, having heard that Chen Mobai was about to leave, flew up to join them.


    ¡°You three practice diligently, perform good deeds, and build virtue. The future belongs to you.¡±


    After expressing his sentiment, Chen Mobai immediately rode the multicolored clouds and left the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Zhuo Ming and the other two women bowed respectfully at the mountaintop, watching him depart.


    Upon returning to Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai dealt with the sect affairs that had accumulated over the year.


    Because he had mobilized the sect¡¯s cultivators to attack Liu Jia Mountain, the sect¡¯s finances had once again become tight this year.


    After Luo Xue¡¯er left for Sky Country to open up the Mo River, the naturally appointed successor as Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall was Chen Mobai¡¯s capable assistant, Yue Zutao.


    As a disciple of Chu Zuoshu, Yue Zutao had been serving in the Reward Virtue Hall for over sixty years, and had always been groomed to be its future head.


    However, as he was bound by the consumption of the Longevity Tree Fruit, he began to fade away into obscurity.


    But this problem was solved during the last batch of Foundation Building Pill production.


    Since Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, the production of Foundation Building Pills in the Divine Wood Sect had increased dramatically.


    In the decennial grand competition, eight True Disciples successfully formed their Foundation with the aid of Foundation Building Pills.


    Furthermore, in each annual competition that followed, the champion would receive one Foundation Building Pill, and those who could become champions were unquestionably worthy of the title.


    Out of seven champions, four succeeded in Foundation Establishment.


    This meant that since Jiang Zongheng, Gu Yan, and their peers, the Divine Wood Sect had added twelve new Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    At its peak, the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners reached ninety.


    However, one was lost this year in Rainbow Country and another passed away in meditation due to the exhaustion of their lifespan, so now there were eighty-eight, which was also considered a lucky number.

    Among the newly advanced twelve Foundation Establishment Practitioners, more than half practiced the Longevity Scripture.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s support, Yue Zutao reached an agreement with two of them¨Ceach paid fifty thousand Spirit Stones to use the Wood Spiritual Talisman and acquire the Longevity Tree Fruit from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    After ingesting a complete set of Tree Fruits, coupled with his own collection and the Lifespan Extension Pills bought by Chen Mobai from the Immortal Gate, Yue Zutao easily achieved Foundation Establishment Completion.


    However, he quickly used the Dual-phase Rotation Technique to dispel the Longevity Scripture, thus freeing himself from the restrictions imposed by the Longevity Tree Fruit, so no one in the sect knew that he had once reached Foundation Establishment Completion and had even attempted Core Formation.


    Now, Yue Zutao was re-cultivating the Longevity Scripture, and since there were no bottlenecks before Core Formation, he quickly re-attained Foundation Establishment Middle Stage within a mere seven years.

 Chapter 1178 - Chapter 1178 Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity

    Chapter 1178: Chapter 649: Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique_2 Chapter 1178: Chapter 649: Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique_2 If it hadn¡¯t been for firming up his foundations, he would have deliberately suppressed his progress, he might have already reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment by now.


    With the constraints of the Everlife Tree Fruit gone, Yue Zutao¡¯s mental barriers disappeared, displaying a grace and capability not inferior to that of King Zhou¡¯s E Yun. Even due to decades of tempering, his approach to matters had become even more steady and polished.


    This year, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army to besiege the large formation at Liu Jia Mountain. Yue Zutao had full control over the Sect¡¯s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions at Giant Tree Ridge, whether it was the allocation of various resources or the distribution of profits and responsibilities, he basically managed to get all parties to accept it.


    After Chen Mobai returned to the Sect, seeing that Yue Zutao had already arranged all the post-war consolations, he did not make any changes, directly signing and stamping his approval for Yue Zutao to carry it out.


    He mainly took out the Sect¡¯s finances for the next two years to first distribute all the various benefits from waging war this year.


    This would lead to a tightening of the Sect¡¯s finances for the next two years, and Chen Mobai simply instructed Yue Zutao to find ways to increase revenue and cut expenditures.


    Because he had just ordered the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, a major project that would take years or even over a decade to see profits. Although most of the costs were borne by the local town guards, and he had Liu Wenbo mobilize the resources of Little Nan Mountain Shop to help, the Divine Wood Sect also wouldn¡¯t be able to collect Spirit Stones from those countries, and might even need to subsidize them from the Sect.


    In response to this, Yue Zutao, who had just become the Vice Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, in charge of the Sect¡¯s financial power, had no choice but to wryly smile and get on with it.


    Just as Chen Mobai had taken care of the Sect¡¯s affairs and was preparing to enter seclusion to refine the Qi of Creation, his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo returned.


    He presented the Qi of Dragon Vein refined by Song Huangdae this year and reported, with a pleased face, the earnings of Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    This whole year, for the first time, they achieved the target of one million Spirit Stones in profit.


    Of this, naturally, the talisman paper produced by the puppet factory was the main contributor, selling for six hundred thousand Spirit Stones; talisman ink for one hundred thousand; even the defective Rank-2 talisman papers and inks from Chen Mobai¡¯s previous Flying Talismans Factory had been snatched up by the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the major families, selling for one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones.


    Then there were the various types of Spirit Rice and Spirit Wine from Little Nan Mountain, which sold for nearly two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    Due to the explosive increase in numbers of new Foundation establishment Practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect, the whole Eastern Wasteland began to believe in the power of Spirit Rice to break through realms, causing the price of Spirit Rice to soar.


    Among these, the most trusted by Eastern Wasteland Cultivators was naturally Chen Mobai¡¯s Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    Liu Wenbo was even suggesting whether to preferentially supply Spirit Rice to their own shop.


    But Chen Mobai was not short of those Spirit Stones, and flatly refused.


    The strength of the Divine Wood Sect was the foundation for his further progress.


    ¡°Next year I will provide even more talisman paper to the shop,¡± Chen Mobai thought about expanding the scale of his puppet factory. But because on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, his factory was not operating at full market capacity each year, he planned to cautiously build a new branch of the puppet factory in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Just in time, the batch of equipment replaced after the last upgrade was still sitting idle.


    For puppets, he, possessing mature experience, could directly provide the design drawings himself for the Puppet Division of the Divine Wood Sect to produce.


    However, the subsequent high-end components like core chips and Heavenly Calculation Beads, as well as connections to equipment, would still require his involvement.


    But the most troublesome part, the maintenance and upkeep, could be handled by the Puppet Division of the Divine Wood Sect.


    He, a Nascent Soul Ancestor, just needed to give the orders, and the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect would certainly put in their utmost effort.


    Thinking of this, he immediately summoned Li Yixian from the Puppet Division.


    An Jinghui, the Division Head, was still in Rainbow Country. His task of organizing the Liu Jia Mountain classics naturally fell to him as the Puppet Division¡¯s head.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, I will arrange it right away,¡± Li Yixian said after looking at the puppet design drawings given by Chen Mobai. His eyes immediately lit up.


    Many of the techniques and component assemblies were very different from the conventions in the Eastern Wasteland, making him feel that these drawings could enhance the level of his Puppetry Technique.


    After arranging these matters, Chen Mobai began secluding himself to refine the Qi of Creation.


    [Metal 23, Wood 45, Water 35, Fire 84, Earth 38].


    Glancing at the numbers slowly appearing on the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a smile.


    He could refine the Qi of Creation again to increase his Earth Spiritual Root to 40 points.


    Furthermore, with the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram boosting his consumption of nine Earth Veins Elixirs, he was guaranteed to increase by 27 points at minimum. If his luck was even better, he might not even need to cultivate the Spiritual Root improvement method to break through to 80 points.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai eagerly wanted to return to the Immortal Gate to continue tinkering with the refinement of the Earth Veins Elixir.


    However, before returning, he didn¡¯t forget to visit the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    This time, he finally obtained the ¡°Longevity Technique¡± from the inheritance space within the Talent Tree.


    Regrettably, the conditions for cultivating the Longevity Technique were very strict. Like One-Leaf Blindness and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, it required cultivators of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to practice it.


    Moreover, it required drawing the essence of the Everlife Wood through one¡¯s Destiny Spirit Plant and refining it into the body, which meant one¡¯s own Destiny Spirit Plant had to have evolved to at least Rank-4.


    Therefore, within the Longevity Sect, it was generally the Nascent Soul Cultivators who would start to cultivate this grand spell, preparing for Divinity Transformation and extending their lifespan.


    This grand spell, once mastered, could also provide a permanent enhancement to the cultivator.


    It could permanently increase one¡¯s lifespan by one third of the current realm. As long as the Destiny Spirit Plant remained intact, even if the cultivator was slain outside, they could use the pre-stored essence blood and Divine Sense within the Spirit Plant to achieve rebirth.


    Having read this, Chen Mobai grew even more admiring of True Lord Yuan.


    He marveled at the method he devised to practice the Longevity Technique piece by piece.


    If he managed to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body to its highest realm, then he could attempt to cultivate this grand Longevity Technique by using the Co-cultivation Method with Yin Qingmei¡¯s Spiritual Power.


    However, he also needed to find a way to enhance Yin Qingmei¡¯s Biyu Wutong to Rank-4.


    But at least he now had another goal to strive for.


    After returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai took advantage of the Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein in Red Sandstone City to start refining Longevity Dew to enhance his Longevity Dao Body, then continued by cultivating Pure Yang Scroll and Pure Yang Daoist Body, etc.


    Once his cultivation was complete, Chen Mobai checked his mobile phone and saw that Qing Nu had replied to him with a very long email.


    The email dated back half a year.


    At that time, Chen Mobai felt insufficient in his ability while refining the Earth Veins Elixir and had sought her advice.


    Of course, when asking for advice, he naturally thought of a reason, claiming that he was trying to refine a Rank-2 Elixir of metal and stone and was consistently exceeding the standard in terms of alchemic poison.


    After reading Qing Nu¡¯s email, Chen Mobai learned that, due to the Elixir of metal and stone being a condensation of minerals and gases, the alchemic poison would naturally be higher than that of regular water and fire techniques in alchemy.


    However, the standards of the Immortal Gate applied equally to all, so treating the alchemic poison of the Elixir of metal and stone required more advanced techniques and equipment.


    At the end of the email, Qing Nu also wrote the model and specifications of the relevant equipment, and which manufacturer¡¯s was the best.


    After reading this, Chen Mobai felt enlightened and immediately placed an order for the equipment.


    Unfortunately, the Elixir of metal and stone was quite a niche in the Immortal Gate, so the manufacturers recommended by Qing Nu did not have ready stock and required custom orders.


    To custom order equipment capable of handling the alchemic poison from Rank-3 Elixir of metal and stone, due to high standards and demands, would take at least several years.


    Chen Mobai could wait, but he wanted to complete the Earth Veins Elixir as soon as possible.


    So he leveraged his connections.


    In the end, he found a solution through Zhou Tiangong, the chief engineer of Tiangong Instrument Factory. With a background from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was a big name in the field of equipment, and he managed to locate the relevant equipment that a pharmaceutical factory had laying idle.

    Chen Mobai spent a million Good Deed Points to get it in hand.


    It¡¯s worth mentioning that the reason why the alchemy of the Immortal Gate so vastly overshadows the Tianhe Realm is not just due to techniques, but also these various functional pieces of equipment.


    Using the new equipment combined with Spiritual Extract to treat the alchemic poison, the latest batch of Earth Veins Elixirs refined by Chen Mobai already reduced the poison content to 1.6%.


    Though by the standards of the Immortal Gate, it was still not up to par.


    Yet in the Eastern Wasteland, it had already reached the level of a premium elixir.

 Chapter 1179 - Chapter 1179 Chapter 650 Grand Spell Echoes in the Void

    Chapter 1179: Chapter 650: Grand Spell: Echoes in the Void Chapter 1179: Chapter 650: Grand Spell: Echoes in the Void After the Earth Veins Elixir was successfully refined, Chen Mobai naturally made a phone call to Qing Nu to express his gratitude.


    This time he was lucky and got through directly.


    The two of them naturally started chatting about their recent situations.


    The last time they met was more than two years ago when Chen Mobai went to Wangwu Cave Heaven for a report of duty.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What have you been up to recently?¡±


    Qing Nu, ¡°I tried Core Formation, but failed.¡±


    Her words slightly surprised Chen Mobai. Although she had mentioned before that she would attempt it without damaging her foundation and spiritual root, he hadn¡¯t expected it to be so soon.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let me know?¡±


    Qing Nu, ¡°You are now managing two cities, and without a special reason, it wouldn¡¯t be good for you to leave, so I thought not to bother you.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? If needed, I¡¯d give up this status as a councilor of Kaiyuan Hall. And you could also come here to Red Sandstone City to attempt Core Formation.¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu on the other end of the phone fell silent for a while, seemingly moved, but then she laughed and continued to respond.


    Qing Nu, ¡°I have a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, and your place is a Fire Vein, not suitable for my Core Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°True, I forgot about that. So, did you attempt Core Formation at the Jumang Academy or in Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    Qing Nu, ¡°Wangwu Cave Heaven. The opportunity at Jumang Academy is only given once, and I definitely want to use it at the critical moment when I truly push for Core Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°That¡¯s not an issue. I am on good terms with Wen Ren Xuewei, and I think she would give me face and let you use the Rank-4 Water Vein a few more times.¡±


    Qing Nu, ¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll let you know the next time I try.¡±


    Chen Mobai then inquired about Qing Nu¡¯s insights into Core Formation. She shared her feelings about the failure this time, which included many questions, seeking advice from Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master.


    Chen Mobai naturally had an answer for every question, and for those he didn¡¯t know, he used his high access privileges in the auxiliary cultivation software to search for answers and tell her.


    After hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s admiration for him grew even more.


    And her admiring tone greatly satisfied Chen Mobai¡¯s vanity.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°By the way, I finally managed to refine the Earth Yellow Pill I asked you about last time, and I wanted to say thank you¡­¡±


    At last, he finally remembered the primary purpose of his call.


    Qing Nu, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to waste your time on alchemy. If you need any elixirs, just let me do the refining for you.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai tactfully indicated that he might need a Rank-4 Alchemist.


    After hearing this, Qing Nu fell silent for a while, then said, ¡°I can¡¯t refine Fourth-order Elixirs at the moment due to insufficient skills. However, you can look for someone on the website of the Alchemists Association. As long as the price is right, many Rank-4 Alchemists would be willing to help.¡±


    Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know about this and immediately asked Qing Nu for more details.


    Apparently, in the Immortal Gate, due to scarce resources, many Rank-4 Alchemists, though skilled enough, sometimes don¡¯t even get a chance to refine Fourth-order Elixirs once a year or even over several years.


    So, if a company gathers the materials needed for a Fourth-order Elixir, alchemists from the Alchemists Association, even Rank-4 ones, are willing to refine them for free, just to have the opportunity to do so.


    It turns out that the opportunity to refine Fourth-order Elixirs is just too rare in the Immortal Gate.


    Besides the Six Great Medicine Factories, which have a refining session each year, other small medicine factories and companies need about ten years on average to gather materials for a single session.


    Since Chen Mobai mainly kept to himself in the Immortal Gate and only had connections in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was not familiar with the higher-ranked alchemists of the Immortal Gate.


    After learning about this, he immediately expressed his surprise, asked Qing Nu for the website, and planned to check it out after ending the call.


    The Alchemists Association of the Immortal Gate, like the Talisman Masters Association, is headed by a Nascent Soul Superior.


    This person is the Three Extremes Sage from the Imperial Medical Academy.


    He is a Rank-5 Alchemist in the Immortal Gate.


    Besides the Three Extremes Sage, Peach Blossom Sage and Elder Yuanxu are also Rank-5 Alchemists.


    And whenever the Immortal Gate prepares the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, it usually requires one of these three to preside over the process to ensure nothing goes wrong.


    Having understood this from Qing Nu, Chen Mobai wondered whether he could have someone from the Alchemists Association help refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    However, considering that the medicinal ingredients were not yet fully collected, and some were not available in the Immortal Gate, he realized he would need a perfect excuse to whitewash the matter.


    After ending the call with Qing Nu, Chen Mobai was about to head over to the Mysterious Frost Company to check on Yan Bingxuan.


    But he received shocking news.


    His grandfather was on his last breath.


    Chen Mobai immediately put aside all his tasks and hurried to Green Mountain Village.


    Tang Lu was stubbornly holding on in his bed. When he saw Chen Mobai enter, his aged face revealed a happy smile.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai held his hand, feeling the last bit of warmth and life force slipping away, displaying a pained and sorrowful expression for the first time.


    ¡°Son, seeing you one last time makes my death without regrets,¡± Tang Lu said.


    Tang Panchui came over, hugging the tearful Chen Mobai and continually consoling him.


    Tang Lu passed away from old age at 119.


    Even though the lifespan limit for Qi Practitioners in the Immortal Gate is 120 years, it¡¯s impossible for a person to be free of calamities throughout life. Tang Lu had lost a lot of his essence blood due to various labor in his youth. Although Chen Mobai later purchased many life-prolonging elixirs, time had taken its toll, and there was one year he could not reclaim.

 Chapter 1180 - Chapter 1180 Chapter 650 Grand Spells Echoes in the Void_2

    Chapter 1180: Chapter 650 Grand Spells: Echoes in the Void_2 Chapter 1180: Chapter 650 Grand Spells: Echoes in the Void_2 Chen Mobai originally had a Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan, but he gave it to his father, Chen Xinglan, because he had repeatedly failed to achieve Foundation Establishment and had damaged his vital essence and lifespan. Ordinary Life-replenishing Elixirs were of no use.


    Thus, in the Immortal Gate, dying peacefully of old age is considered a happy event.


    Many cultivators who exert themselves too much in attempting Foundation Establishment don¡¯t even live to a hundred years old, like Chen Mobai¡¯s grandparents.


    After Tang Lu¡¯s cremation, Chen Mobai personally placed his ashes into the cemetery.


    ¡°Son, your father-in-law was always proud of you, he definitely wouldn¡¯t want to see you upset,¡± Chen Xinglan said to comfort Chen Mobai, who forced a very strained smile on his face, standing in front of the grave, watching the cemetery workers engrave Tang Lu¡¯s name and other details on the tombstone.


    Although he had anticipated this day, the actual parting from a loved one brought a stark realization of life¡¯s transience to Chen Mobai, like a fragile dream or illusion.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, you two need to live longer,¡± Chen Mobai suddenly said, thinking of how his parents were already ninety-six years old, and by their lifespan, they might only have twenty-four years left before they, like his grandfather, would die peacefully of old age.


    ¡°Son, birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws. Having you in our lives has made it wonderful enough; we will accept death calmly when it comes. And when that time arrives, don¡¯t be sad for us. Just place both of our ashes together,¡± Chen Xinglan said, viewing the inevitability with acceptance, especially after his continuous failures in Foundation Establishment.


    The only regret he and Tang Panchui possibly had was not being able to witness Chen Mobai getting married and having children.


    Only those in the Immortal Gate whose cultivation level could no longer advance would consider marrying and leaving offspring. Chen Mobai was rising like the sun and was hailed as having the Qualification of Deification; he certainly wasn¡¯t considering this matter now.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say anything in response, but clenched his fists tightly.


    He decided that afterward, in the Tianhe Realm, he would find a way to collect Spiritual Medicines similar to the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan to extend their lifespans.


    Even if doing so might expose some things within the Immortal Gate, for the sake of his parents, these concerns would no longer matter. He hoped the Void Blind Box would ¡°launder¡± his possessions.


    After Tang Lu was buried, Chen Mobai stayed in Green Mountain Village for half a month, reminiscing the bits and pieces of life with his grandfather during his childhood.


    Memories that once were somewhat blurred gradually surged back into his mind.


    He recalled the lofty ambitions he once spoke of to his grandfather.


    ¡°When I grow up, I want to be the biggest official in the Immortal Gate!¡±


    At that time, Tang Lu simply laughed heartily. While others sneered, he happily patted Chen Mobai¡¯s head, expressing he would wait for the day he would make the Tang family proud.


    Regrettably, when Chen Mobai grew up, although he still yearned to be an official, he became more focused on self-preservation, even willingly giving up opportunities to become an officer in The Three Great Halls.


    Now, he thought, he had betrayed his own dream.


    ¡°Grandpa, on the day I become the Sect Master of the Immortal Gate, I¡¯ll be the first to let you know!¡± Chen Mobai said to Tang Lu¡¯s grave before leaving.


    Upon his return to Red Sandstone City, he started cultivating even more diligently.


    This personal loss reminded him of the significance of cultivation level.


    If only Tang Lu could have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, he wouldn¡¯t have died now¡­


    If he had the strength to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, maybe he could have traded for the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan with the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace¡­


    Yan Bingxuan, having heard about this, came specially to comfort him for a long time.


    ¡°With the constant increase in cultivation level, parting due to death and life will become the norm. Five years ago, my grandparents also passed away one after another¡­¡± Yan Bingxuan shared her thoughts, recalling how heartbroken she was at that time, and how it was the first time she saw her grandaunt, Yan Qiongzhi, cry.


    For Yan Qiongzhi, those were her last direct brother and sister-in-law.


    But time can heal any wound.


    ¡°Bing Xuan, I hope there will never be a day between us filled with parting of life and death¡­¡± Chen Mobai spoke, repeating a sentiment he had once expressed. Hearing this, Yan Bingxuan nodded firmly.


    ¡°I will definitely reach Core Formation, not leaving you alone in your old age,¡± she declared.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face finally showed a hint of a forced smile after a long absence.


    However, there was something neither of them said aloud.


    With the talent Chen Mobai had displayed, he was likely to have a place among the future Nascent Souls of the Immortal Gate.


    Merely reaching Core Formation wouldn¡¯t be enough to be by his side until the end.


    Yan Bingxuan thought of that elegant young girl in a green robe from Jumang Academy, an extraordinary talent who might be the only one capable of keeping pace with him forever.


    After meeting with long-unseen friends and sharing mutual consolation, Chen Mobai felt his mood had improved slightly.


    However, the death of Tang Lu also signified the end of an era.


    Many of Chen Mobai¡¯s high school classmates¡¯ grandfathers also passed away in the span of that year.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And his grandmother died of grief half a year after Tang Lu¡¯s death.


    This time, Tang Panchui wept inconsolably. The bond between mother and daughter was incredibly deep, and now it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to comfort her.


    They were mentally prepared for this, after all.


    After all, the old couple were classmates, and they were the same age.


    After placing his grandparents¡¯ ashes together, Chen Mobai once again solemnly offered incense, then moved aside to comfort his still weeping mother.

 Chapter 1181 - Chapter 1181 Chapter 650 Grand Spell Echoes in the Void_3

    Chapter 1181: Chapter 650: Grand Spell: Echoes in the Void_3 Chapter 1181: Chapter 650: Grand Spell: Echoes in the Void_3 The consecutive deaths of loved ones had plunged Chen Mobai into an unusual depression over the course of the year.


    However, during this same year, his Pure Yang Daoist Body had achieved yet another breakthrough.


    One clear morning, while cultivating, the top-grade Spirit Stone in his palm completely dried out, causing each of his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots to lose 1 point, while his Fire Spirit Root increased by 3 points.


    And it hadn¡¯t even been three years since his last breakthrough.


    Clearly, the effects of the Golden Crow¡¯s Sun Carrying Elixir were more conducive to the enhancement of the Pure Yang Daoist Body than the Pure Yang Spiritual Power itself.


    [Metal 23, Wood 44, Water 34, Fire 87, Earth 38].


    Looking at the numerical values on the Spirit-Testing Instruments¡¯ screen, Chen Mobai pulled himself together and ventured into the long-unvisited Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    After acquiring the Longevity Technique, he no longer had any pressing need for other grand spells, so he randomly chose the virtual shadow of a valley.


    But after reviewing this grand spell within the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    This technique, known as ¡°Echoes in the Void,¡± had no lethal power when mastered, but offered an ability similar to All Things Spiritual Communication, allowing one to listen to the vibrations of various strange entities.


    However, the range of Echoes in the Void far exceeded that of All Things Spiritual Communication.


    Beyond plants, one could listen to various minerals, Spiritual Energy, and even the Void, Restrictions, and Spells.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t fully understand the use of this grand spell, but he promptly utilized his Saint Heir privilege to practice and elevate it to a Rank-3 level before the Great Dao Tree.


    Upon reaching Rank-3, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but listen intently within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    But soon, a cacophony that seemed to amplify by thousands of times rushed into his ears, leaving him unprepared and causing his ears to ring and go deaf.


    Even after promptly stopping the grand spell, his ears still bled.


    His ears were essentially ruined.


    However, the Longevity Dao Body that Chen Mobai had bitterly cultivated over the years kicked in, and soon his ears were fully restored to their undamaged state.


    Armed with this experience, Chen Mobai reduced the power of the grand spell to one-thousandth and took out a Spirit Stone to listen.


    Gradually, he seemed to hear the steady yet surging sound of ocean tides within the Spirit Stone, as if the waters were the Spiritual Energy, mysteriously restrained and waiting to be tapped and extracted bit by bit.


    Chen Mobai heard the whispering of Spiritual Energy, as if possessing a simple sentience, some yearning for the outside, eager to be drawn out, while others were mixed with impurities from the earth, swelling and settling in the depths.


    Within the small Spirit Stone, it was as if a mocking score played out, and the more Chen Mobai listened, the more he became addicted, as if discovering a new world.

    After listening to the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai grew familiar with the Echoes in the Void and began to listen to the innumerable Red-sun Spirit Trees nearby.


    It was a sensation akin to Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, quickly leading him to discover that among them, two trees were on the verge of advancing to the Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Trees, merely lacking the crucial integration of Earth and Fire elements with their own Wood element.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s assistance, one of the trees successfully advanced.


    Witnessing the newly born Qingyang Spirit Tree exuding goodwill towards him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.


    He then turned his head and looked towards the Great Dao Tree not far away!

 Chapter 1182 - Chapter 1182 Chapter 651 The Other Shore Flower Nine Dragon

    Chapter 1182: Chapter 651: The Other Shore Flower, Nine Dragon Sophora Chapter 1182: Chapter 651: The Other Shore Flower, Nine Dragon Sophora This Great Dao Tree, as the core of this secret realm, had always been plucked by Chen Mobai, but it also made him as fearful as a tiger.


    After all, the last perfect score that chose him as the Saint Embryo had left an extremely profound impression on him.


    So even now, knowing that the so-called transition tribulation of the Heavenly Sovereign might already be an empty shell with no actual proceedings, Chen Mobai still never approached it with his true body.


    This time, after receiving the Echoes in the Void, he suddenly felt the desire to listen to the inner fluctuations of this towering and mysterious Everlife Wood.


    No sooner thought than done, Chen Mobai began to listen attentively, directing the range of this Grand Spell at the giant and mysterious Everlife Wood before him.


    But he came up empty-handed.


    Chen Mobai had already anticipated this outcome.


    After all, the grade of this Great Dao Tree was at the Fourth Stage Pinnacle.


    His Echoes in the Void technique had only been empowered to the Third Rank.


    Chen Mobai then went into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, to the location of a Golden Sun Spirit Tree, and after listening attentively, he clearly felt its fluctuations.


    A Third Rank Spirit Tree already possessed a faint spirit, and Chen Mobai heard its desire for more earth and fire spiritual power, as well as the urge to evolve into a Fourth Order Longevity Wood.


    Unfortunately, this required Everlife Soil and more potent Qingyang Fire.


    As for the Qingyang Fire, Chen Mobai could help, but there was nothing he could do about the Everlife Soil.


    That stuff could only be cultivated by the Magic Treasure Tree, which Zhuo Ming had harvested during his Foundation Establishment.


    If there were enough Everlife Soil, with the foundation of the Divine Wood Sect, plus the infinite Qingyang Fire that Chen Mobai could transmute, could they cultivate new Fourth Order Longevity Woods?


    After all, according to what Chen Mobai knew, within Giant Tree Ridge, there were a total of thirty-five Golden Sun Spirit Trees, of which five were at the Third Rank Peak.


    All these, if external conditions were sufficient and he provided a little boost through Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, could attempt an ascension into Longevity Woods.


    The problem was the lack of Everlife Soil.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Earth Cultivation Technique could at most mimic Spirit Soil of Third Rank, and this deeply regretted Chen Mobai.


    He only hoped that once his cultivation level rose, he would be able to completely control the Divine Tree Secret Realm, then find enough Everlife Soil from within the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Having attempted to listen to tangible objects with Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai began experimenting with intangible ones.


    He first listened to the Void, and since Chen Mobai had already used quite a few Void Stones to condense his All Laws Persona, he was very familiar with the Power of Void, and with Echoes in the Void, he quickly heard the fluctuations of the Void.


    In the space invisible to the naked eye between the heavens and the earth, there was endless formless void, which constituted the foundation of the world, pulsing and circulating at every moment, bearing the myriad things and forms of the universe.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes and slowly floated upward, completely merging himself into the omnipresent Void in all directions.


    He raised his right hand, and then gently tapped with his index finger in front of him, as streaks of silver brilliance, like a lamp in the night, illuminated everything around at the moment of appearance.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and looked at the vortex-shaped silver halo at his fingertip, nodding slightly. This was his Golden Core Domain.


    Then his Divine Sense moved, and granules of silver light emerged from the Void, attracted by the silver halo, gradually morphing and condensing into sharp and long flat cones.


    They appeared like a blade extending from the tip of his finger.


    Chen Mobai lightly sliced towards the Third Rank Golden Sun Spirit Tree below, and in a flicker of silver light, one of the thick branches had already been cut off, leaving a smooth cut.


    One should know that this tree was a Third Rank Spirit Tree, its wood exceptionally hard, and Chen Mobai¡¯s once-famous Flying Sparrow Hairpin was made from this Spirit Wood.


    Yet as the silver blade passed through, it was as if slicing through air, without any resistance, showing its sharpness!


    This was the Blade of the Void!


    In the Immortal Gate, Golden Core Masters who had opened a domain were sensitive to the Power of Void and, if their spiritual power and Divine Sense were strong enough, could learn this technique.


    Chen Mobai had tried it before, and although he could use the Power of Void from Void Stones to condense it, it soon weakened and dissipated.


    But now, this segment of the Blade of the Void was not simply condensed with the Power of Void of the natural world as the core but drawn from the natural Power of Void between heaven and earth, condensed and formed by his own domain.


    As long as his Divine Sense and spiritual power could support it, it would never dissipate.


    This Blade of the Void was actually transforming one¡¯s own domain into a weapon, inserting it into the object to be attacked.


    If the energy contained in that object was inferior to the Power of Void of the domain, then it would be unconditionally cut open.


    However, if it encountered something more powerful than itself, it would be rendered useless.


    It was said the Leading Star Ancestor had cultivated his domain to the size of a planet. With it, he conjured the Blade of the Void, effectively turning a world into a Star-Drawing Sword. At full strength, he once cleaved the planet where the Ascension Sect resided in the Vast Starry Sky into two hemispheres.


    The Blade of the Void¡¯s main advantage is the overwhelming of realms.


    As long as you¡¯re weaker than it, it¡¯s physically impossible to block!


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai had always coveted it, hoping to master it.

    And now, he had finally fulfilled this wish.


    However, just when he was about to play with the Blade of the Void again, he felt a wave of dizziness rushing to his head.


    This was a sign of excessive consumption of Divine Sense.


    After he deactivated the Blade of the Void, he found that not only had his Divine Sense been depleted, but even the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea was left at only about thirty to forty percent.


    The consumption of this technique was so great that it¡¯s no wonder very few Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Gate ever practiced it.

 Chapter 1183 - Chapter 1183 Chapter 651 The Other Shore Flower Nine Dragons

    Chapter 1183: Chapter 651: The Other Shore Flower, Nine Dragons Sophora Corner_2 Chapter 1183: Chapter 651: The Other Shore Flower, Nine Dragons Sophora Corner_2 Chen Mobai sat cross-legged under the Golden Sun Spirit Tree from which he had cut a branch, took out an incense burner, lit a stick of Mind Incense, and waited for his Divine Sense to return to normal before he grabbed a Spirit Stone to start absorbing Spiritual Energy.


    Meanwhile, he divided his attention and pulled a box out of his Storage Bag.


    This was the spoils from when he had killed Yan Fusheng, albeit with a Restriction set on it. To avoid damaging the contents by forcefully breaking it open, Chen Mobai had set it aside, thinking to consult an expert from the Immortal Gate when the opportunity arose.


    Now that he had obtained the Echoes in the Void, he could try listening in to find out what exactly was inside.


    The Restriction sealing the Black Jade Box was a very powerful Rank-3 one, but Chen Mobai¡¯s Echoes in the Void was just the thing for listening to Restrictions below Rank-4.


    Gradually, he heard the operational pattern of the Restriction and could have broken it if he wished.


    However, he was currently holding a Spirit Stone and recovering, and he didn¡¯t want to interrupt the process, so he continued to use the Echoes in the Void to listen more deeply.


    Through the Restriction, Chen Mobai heard the fluctuations inside the Black Jade Box.


    It was a sound he had never heard before, like ancient ice that had condensed over tens of thousands of years, emitting a tremor similar to a dragon¡¯s roar despite being in the extreme cold.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind suddenly thought of something, and even with his state of mind, he couldn¡¯t help but get excited.


    But without confirmation, he curbed the surging emotions and continued to invoke the Echoes in the Void, until, finally, he heard the entire vibration of the contents inside the Black Jade Box.


    In his mind emerged a long, yellow fruit with filaments, slightly concave in the middle with a curve like dragon¡¯s tentacles, somewhat sinister in appearance.


    Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Chen Mobai recognized it immediately.


    It was one of the main ingredients for Return to the Sun Spirit Water, the Nine-Dragon Locust Pod.


    The locust tree, known as the Ghost Tree, would turn into a Dragon Claw Locust if planted in the Underworld, nourished by the Yin Qi of Huangquan. The fruit it bore was the Nine-Dragon Locust Pod.


    Since the Black Jade Box contained such Spiritual Medicine, then could it be that the other Black Jade Box¡­


    With that thought, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain himself any longer and immediately took out the other box from his Storage Bag for confirmation.


    Under the Echoes in the Void, he listened to the contents inside, which indeed were ¡°Other Shore Flowers.¡±


    He should have thought of it earlier. Yan Fusheng had a Method, was a Ghost Cultivator, and had Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood. All that was missing was Return to the Sun Spirit Water to refine a Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    Anyone would try to collect the needed medical materials, even if they didn¡¯t have an Alchemist, to prepare in advance.


    Chen Mobai was so excited that he stopped absorbing Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone.


    He held the two Black Jade Boxes in his palm, ready to use the operational pattern of the Restriction as heard through the Echoes in the Void to break it open and retrieve their contents.


    But all of a sudden, Chen Mobai stopped his actions.


    Even if he opened the boxes and obtained the two main ingredients, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to refine Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    Yan Shaoyin was absolutely untrustworthy when it came to matters concerning Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul, and even if Chen Mobai was confident that he could persuade him with more Alchemy Recipes, it was likely to result in failure nine out of ten times.


    After all, Return to the Sun Spirit Water was a Fourth Grade Superior Alchemy Recipe.


    In the vicinity of the Eastern Wilderness, the one capable of refining this recipe was the Golden Wind Ancestor from Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    And he was even less likely to hope for help.


    So after much thought, he could only rely on the power of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai put the branch of the Golden Yang Wood, which he had cut with his Blade of the Void, into his Storage Bag, then immediately returned to Danxia Mountain and opened the website of the Alchemist Association that Qing Nu had told him about.


    On the page of the association¡¯s members, he saw many illuminated avatars!


    These indicated they were available, and various big drug factories and companies could book them to refine Elixirs.


    The icon for Peach Blossom Sage was dim; he must have gone to oversee the important task of refining the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    As for Peach Blossom Sage and Elder Yuanxu, Chen Mobai naturally did not dare to harbor any hopes for them; he could only look further down and noticed that there were thirteen Rank-4 alchemists with lit-up portraits.


    Chen Mobai did not recognize any of these individuals.


    However, among them, there was a profile page of a Golden Core Master who graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, named Chu Chuanhua. Chen Mobai wondered if he could have Che Yucheng help make an introduction.


    But he wasn¡¯t in a hurry, as the Divine Wood Sect had not yet completed the collection of all other auxiliary medicines for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    Moreover, if he were to truly ask an alchemist from an Immortal Gate to assist in refinement, the origins of these main and auxiliary ingredients must be crystal clear; this was also one of the Immortal Gate¡¯s rules, that practitioners need to verify the materials supplied by the employer before accepting a task.


    Of course, in practice, this might be a mere formality, but that would only extend to common auxiliary materials.


    For Rank-4 medicinal ingredients, a thorough check was mandatory, no matter what.


    The only method Chen Mobai could think of was the Void Blind Box.


    However, only five years had passed since the last time he opened a Void Blind Box, and there were only a little over seventy million Good Deed Points in his Immortal Gate account, still shy of one billion.


    Chen Mobai even considered whether he should exchange the Pearls that Nu Jiang had given him at a bank.


    The Immortal Gate¡¯s bank was always buying up Spirit Stones, and these Pearls were equivalent to Top-grade Spirit Stones. Although their application was limited due to containing only Water Spirit Qi, he was willing to accept a discounted rate.


    Moreover, if he put them on the civilian market for professionals to auction, Chen Mobai estimated that they could easily fetch more than a billion Good Deed Points.


    However, doing so would be rather too ostentatious.


    It did not fit with Chen Mobai¡¯s public persona.


    But on further thought, if Zhou Shengqing could transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, it would kickstart the unification of the Eastern Wilderness. He would no longer need to worry about the threats from Cloud Dream¡¯s Poisonous Dragon and the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, and it would also make it easier for him to collect the resources of the Eastern Wilderness, ensuring he had no further worries.


    After weighing the options, Chen Mobai felt he might need to be somewhat more aggressive in his approach within the Immortal Gate for the sake of the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    Having thought it through, he immediately called Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yu Wood City, inquiring about professional auction companies.


    The City Lord of Red Sandstone City, Sui Shanfu, was a graduate of the Repairing Heaven Institute, and Chen Mobai could not fully control him, so he chose the locally unaffiliated Wen Ping instead.


    While Wen Ping did not know why Chen Mobai was asking these questions, he tactfully did not pry and informed him that there was a semi-private company responsible for auctioning Spirit Wood in Yu Wood City, which had collaboration ties with big auction houses in different Blessed Lands. If Councilor Chen needed it, he could have the legal representative of the company personally come to Danxia Mountain to clarify any doubts.


    Were it not for the fact that leaving his jurisdiction as the City Lord of Yu Wood City would require reporting and leaving a record with his superiors, Wen Ping would have liked to personally bring people over.


    Even though his superior was Chen Mobai, to stay low-key, Chen Mobai still declined.


    As it had been over two years since he last visited Yu Wood City, and as another jurisdiction under his command, it was time for him to make an inspection visit.


    As soon as Chen Mobai made a move, Sui Shanfu, the City Lord of Red Sandstone City, received the news. Although he was surprised by the sudden visit of his typically hands-off superior to Yu Wood City, he did not delve deeper into it but simply recorded it as per routine.


    After arriving in Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai met with representatives from the Immortal Gate bank and the auction house under Wen Ping¡¯s arrangement.


    Under a confidentiality agreement, the bank¡¯s staff appraised the ¡°Pearls¡± that he had opened from the Void Blind Boxes and offered him a buy-back price at a 4% discount, based on the Immortal Gate¡¯s price list that had been in place for two thousand years.


    After assessing the number of Pearls he had left, Chen Mobai felt confident.


    If he wasn¡¯t worried about being high-profile, he could exchange all his Pearls with the bank and instantly gain nearly seven billion Good Deed Points.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He could save some for retirement, and with the rest, he could open fifty Void Blind Boxes, laying the most lasting foundation for whitewashing the resources of the Tianhe Realm for his future.


    After getting an evaluation from the bank¡¯s personnel, Chen Mobai met with the legal person of the auction house, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance named Bao Zhiyong.


    However, when Chen Mobai took out the Pearls to hand over to him, Bao Zhiyong shivered all over and didn¡¯t dare to reach out to take them.


    The items were too precious, and he was afraid that his hands would not be steady.


    If he damaged them even slightly, selling his entire company would not cover the loss.

 Chapter 1184 - Chapter 1184 Chapter 652 Appearance-Fixing Pearl

    Chapter 1184: Chapter 652: Appearance-Fixing Pearl Chapter 1184: Chapter 652: Appearance-Fixing Pearl Bao Zhiyong estimated the value of the pearls through remote appraisal and gave an evaluation of 1.2 to 1.5 billion Good Deed Points.


    ¡°Why can they sell for so much?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite surprised.


    ¡°Councilor, it¡¯s like this, the price of an item depends on demand. These pearls contain pure Water Spirit Qi, and if ground into powder, they become Appearance-Fixing Powder that can preserve one¡¯s youthful appearance. Furthermore, if an outstanding Alchemist and Artifact Refiner work together, they can refine it into a Face-Preserving Water Spirit Pearl. To female cultivators, these pearls are priceless treasures.¡±


    Bao Zhiyong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai¡¯s expression clear with realization; in the Immortal Sect, ¡°preserving one¡¯s appearance¡± meant everlasting youth.


    The effects of Appearance-Fixing Powder are temporary, but wearing a Face-Preserving Water Spirit Pearl provides a permanent blessing.


    To male cultivators, this item may be optional, but to female cultivators, it¡¯s a treasure they¡¯d spend all their fortunes to acquire.


    Chen Mobai previously didn¡¯t know that pearls imbued with Water Spirit Qi could be used for retaining one¡¯s appearance.


    It¡¯s a pity the Face-Preserving Water Spirit Pearl is a Rank-4 item; otherwise, he could have tried to refine some himself, as their price could at least be ten times higher than that of the pearls.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai had come to understand the value of the batch of pearls he had on hand.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, if you need to auction this pearl, I suggest going to Wangwu Cave Heaven, where there are wealthier individuals who can compete for it.¡±


    Bao Zhiyong spoke again. The Rank-4 Blue Elm in Yu Wood City would shed some Lingye leaves every few years. The high-quality ones would be taken by the Immortal Sect, and the rest would be left to the locals for fiscal support.


    And these Lingye leaves were auctioned by Bao Zhiyong at Wangwu Cave Heaven. How much they sold for was his expertise; Wen Ping only took care of receiving the guaranteed Good Deed Points he promised.


    Hearing that Bao Zhiyong had connections, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated and directly let him take full charge of the matter.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, for a high selling price, you would need to spend on advertising. The bigger the splash, the more female cultivators it can attract¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve always preferred not to trouble myself with such matters. Just proceed with the normal auction process; whoever can buy it is the destined one.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t be bothered with these arrangements, as, after all, he only wanted to purchase Void Blind Boxes with Good Deed Points, so he urged Bao Zhiyong to sell them as quickly as possible.


    ¡°Yes, Councilor Chen, we might need a professional company to package the item.¡±


    Bao Zhiyong, of course, didn¡¯t dare refuse Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    Nevertheless, he still dared not touch the pearl worth over a hundred million Good Deed Points.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai took out a wooden box directly from his Domain and placed the pearl inside.


    ¡°This will do. I¡¯ve set a restriction on it. You can use this Taoist talisman paper to open it.¡±


    In Bao Zhiyong¡¯s eyes, this item was exceedingly precious, but to Chen Mobai, it was no different from a roadside stone.


    The security within the Immortal Sect was still trustworthy. Half a month later, this item was successfully exhibited at the Wangwu Cave Heaven Spirit Immortal Auction, and it sold for the astonishing price of 163 million Good Deed Points.


    This was only because Chen Mobai was in a hurry for Good Deed Points; otherwise, with more marketing by Bao Zhiyong, it could have fetched another ten million.


    After deducting various fees such as handling and labor charges, the final amount that entered Chen Mobai¡¯s account was 160 million Good Deed Points. But this was not the final income, for he still needed to pay taxes to the relevant departments at year-end.


    But at least for now, this sum of Good Deed Points, in addition to what he already had in his account, was more than enough to purchase two Void Blind Boxes.


    Chen Mobai did not hesitate and immediately used his privileges to make a reservation on the Immortal Gate Network.


    And while he was awaiting the arrival of the Void Blind Boxes, the Water Spirit Pearl he auctioned had already caused a sensation among the upper echelons of female cultivators in the Immortal Sect.


    Because the Gold Core female cultivator who won the pearl hadn¡¯t even had the chance to flaunt it for two days before another prominent figure bought it from her for double the price.


    Knowing that someone could outbid other female cultivators at a place like Wangwu Cave Heaven demonstrated substantial background and strength.


    Yet, even such a figure could only accommodate with a smile and hand over the item when faced with a personal visit from Peach Blossom Sage.


    As a result of this act, many criticized Peach Blossom Sage, accusing her of bullying with her influence.


    Discourse within the Immortal Sect was fairly open; except for the two Huashen Ancestors, whom no one dared to criticize, there was a fair amount of fault-finding directed at Nascent Soul Superiors and even The Three Great Halls.


    Being a transformed species, Peach Blossom Sage had a controversial reputation due to her stunning appearance, premarital pregnancy, direct emotional intelligence, and thus, she wasn¡¯t well-regarded among the general public of the Immortal Sect. This incident only exacerbated the uproar.


    Therefore, Jumang Academy had no choice but to issue a statement, stating that this was a normal transaction between their headmaster and the other party, and that a formal purchase contract had been signed, and so on.


    Yet such a statement was still incapable of silencing the multitude of voices.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Immortal Sect, criticizing Peach Blossom Sage suddenly became politically correct.


    ¡°Mom, why did you suddenly call me back?¡±


    Having received the news, Pei Qingshuang was also worried about her mother. Fortunately, Peach Blossom Sage had called her home, so she directly went to Jumang Academy.


    ¡°Come, I have a great item for you.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage smiled and handed her the newly refined Face-Preserving Water Spirit Pearl, but Pei Qingshuang frowned, shook her head, and refused.

 Chapter 1185 - Chapter 1185 Chapter 652 Appearance-fixing Pearl_2

    Chapter 1185: Chapter 652: Appearance-fixing Pearl_2 Chapter 1185: Chapter 652: Appearance-fixing Pearl_2 ¡°Mom, if you¡¯re doing that kind of thing for my sake, I think it¡¯s unnecessary. I¡¯m still in my juvenile phase; my appearance hasn¡¯t fully developed, and it¡¯s not yet time for me to need eternal youth.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang felt that compared to herself, Peach Blossom Sage needed it more. She was already at the most mature age of full bloom, and using it to preserve her appearance would allow her to be forever beautiful and charming.


    ¡°The face-preserving ability of this bead is just the most basic effect; what¡¯s more important is the rich Water Spirit Qi contained within. If you use this to communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword, you should be able to overcome the final barrier and achieve unity with the sword heart of this Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage, not above using her power to bully others, had bought this pearl not just for face-preserving, but mainly to help her daughter¡¯s cultivation level rise another notch.


    Pei Qingshuang had long acquired the Qing Shuang Sword, but over the years, she had never been able to fully commune with the spirit of this sword artifact, and this was the final barrier troubling her Core Formation.


    As long as she could accomplish this step, she had confidence that she could take the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Peach Blossom Sage knew about this as well, so when she found out about this pearl, equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone in Water Spirit Qi, she felt obliged to edge out the younger generation for her daughter¡¯s Core Formation.


    However, in her heart, she also blamed the person who auctioned the pearl for not displaying it for a longer time. By the time she found out about it, the auction had already ended.


    ¡°Mom, isn¡¯t this too wasteful?¡±


    Without realizing it, Pei Qingshuang had already taken the Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl, and the thought of using something bought for over three hundred million Good Deed Points to nurture the Qing Shuang Sword made her feel a pang of distress.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already modified it. When you have used half of the Water Spirit Qi in this pearl, bring it back and place it at the center of the Rank-5 Water Vein in Jumang Academy, and it can be recharged. Although each recharge will reduce the maximum charge by one percent, it should be no problem to use it until you reach Perfect Core Formation,¡± said Peach Blossom Sage, having spared no effort for her daughter.


    But within the entire Immortal Gate, only she and Elder Yuanxu were capable of refining such a Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl.


    ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    With a face full of gratitude, Pei Qingshuang spoke, and at the same time, a strong desire for Core Formation surged in her heart.


    She hadn¡¯t considered the possibility that the Qing Shuang Sword still would not commune with her.


    Carefully hanging the Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl around her snow-white, elegant neck, Pei Qingshuang prepared to enter the Rank-5 Cultivation Room that Peach Blossom Sage had arranged for her to go into seclusion.


    However, before she secluded herself, she couldn¡¯t help but visit a dear friend she hadn¡¯t seen in a long time.


    ¡°Cui, when did you come? Why didn¡¯t you let me know in advance?¡±


    In the pavilion, Wen Ren Xuewei was surprised to see the spirited Pei Qingshuang and immediately took out a new cup to rinse.


    ¡°My mother refined this Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl to help me commune with the Qing Shuang Sword¡­¡±


    As Pei Qingshuang spoke, she couldn¡¯t help but show off, pulling the red ribbon from around her neck, revealing the round and lustrous pearl with a faint blue gleam from within her towering neckline.


    ¡°The sage is so kind to you; she¡¯s a good mother!¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei looked at the pearl that her friend was flaunting, and her mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, she could only echo the sentiment.


    Recently, Jumang Academy had been criticized by the public of the Immortal Gate for this matter, and she, the future head of the academy, was naturally aware of it.


    Nevertheless, Peach Blossom Sage didn¡¯t mention buying the pearl to her; otherwise, Wen Ren Xuewei would have definitely given her the one she had.


    With that thought, the image of a clear-boned and incredibly talented young man flashed in her mind.


    That pearl must have been auctioned by him.


    She had not expected it to be so precious.


    Because Wen Ren Xuewei had completed her Lasting Spring Cultivation, not only was she eternally youthful, but her body was also locked in its peak state forever, so she had never bothered to learn about things like Appearance-fixing Pearls.


    However, through this auction, she had come to understand the value of the pearl Chen Mobai had given her and felt that this friend wasn¡¯t so bad, considering the Enlightenment Tea she had sent him, which was Third Rank.


    With this thought, Wen Ren Xuewei watched Pei Qingshuang, who was still showing off her pearl, and casually, with the pretense of an unintentional gesture, she lifted the thin jade-green sleeve to reveal a similarly round and lustrous pearl on her snow-white wrist.


    She had strung the pearl on a bracelet, giving it a distinct flair.


    Pei Qingshuang, who had been observing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s expression, immediately noticed the pearl on her wrist and opened her eyes wide, incredulous.


    ¡°You have one too?¡±


    ¡°Last time I gave Junior Brother Chen a jar of fine tea, and as a return gift, he gave me this. I initially refused, but he insisted on giving it, and I couldn¡¯t decline¡­¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei sighed, seemingly somewhat troubled as she spoke.


    Pei Qingshuang fell silent immediately.


    After a long while, she said she was going to retreat and commune with the Qing Shuang Sword.


    She didn¡¯t even drink the tea she had poured, quickly disappearing into the pavilion.


    This matter caused Pei Qingshuang, who had planned to start her retreat in a good mood, to feel a knot of frustration, but she quickly adjusted herself.


    Thinking that she could take the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and enhance the stagnant Qingxiao Sword Canon once she communed with the Qing Shuang Sword, she was slightly invigorated!


    Once she achieved Core Formation, she would be able to unleash the true power of the Qing Shuang Sword, absorb the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, and awaken her bloodline¡¯s divine skills.


    But what drove Pei Qingshuang to despair happened!


    She provided the Water Spirit Qi from the pearls to the Qing Shuang Sword during her retreat, but still couldn¡¯t access its most sealed core.


    How exactly could she achieve a Clear Heart of Sword?


    Looking at the plain and tranquil sword artifact in her hands, Pei Qingshuang thought of that extraordinarily brilliant and handsome young man.


    Unlike herself, he did not have a Nascent Soul mother, nor did he have spirit stones to nurture a sword artifact, yet he gained the favor of the Purple Electric Sword in the Foundation Building Realm, and after Core Formation, he displayed the ultimate state of Clear Heart of Sword in the battle where he defeated Master Huakai.


    Was the gap between her and him truly so vast?


    This was the first time Pei Qingshuang felt an awe-stricken reverence for Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, as if looking up at a high mountain.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai, who just finished practicing the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram on the peak of Danxia Mountain, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and nearly couldn¡¯t resist sneezing.


    He suppressed the urge and picked up his cellphone that was set aside.


    He found several missed calls and messages.


    The majority of them were naturally from Qing Nu, Meng Huang, and Yan Bingxuan.


    When they couldn¡¯t reach him by phone, they sent text messages.


    The content was roughly the same.


    [The pearls are actually so precious!]


    Qing Nu and Meng Huang had never encountered top-grade spirit stones, and only knew about the Water Spirit Qi equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone from what Chen Mobai had said.


    But it¡¯s one thing to hear about it from a man; when they truly understood the value of this object, which was far more precious than what the man had described, they couldn¡¯t help but shudder all over.


    Qing Nu regretted why she had used three beads to replenish Spiritual Energy during her attempt at Core Formation and wanted to return the remaining five to Chen Mobai.


    But what Chen Mobai gifted, how could there be a reason to take it back?


    First, he called Qing Nu and told her to use them at ease; as a cultivator who went through bitter cultivation, he didn¡¯t care about such external possessions.


    Qing Nu was, of course, very touched after hearing this.


    She called from noon until evening, reluctantly hanging up the phone.

    Chen Mobai then immediately called Meng Huang, who was much more casual, asking when he was free as she wanted to request a half-month leave to come over for a good rest and relaxation.


    ¡°I¡¯m at a critical moment in my cultivation, preparing to gather energy and conserve strength, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t entertain you¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately stopped Meng Huang¡¯s idea of coming over. Disappointed, she stated before hanging up that he must notify her the moment he became available.


    After making two calls, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath, feeling that even cultivation wasn¡¯t as tiring.


    Eventually, he called Yan Bingxuan.

 Chapter 1186 - Chapter 1186 Chapter 653 Pluto

    Chapter 1186: Chapter 653 Pluto Chapter 1186: Chapter 653 Pluto Yan Bingxuan was extremely shocked upon finding out that the pearl she had given to Wen Ren Xuewei was such a precious treasure.


    She worked hard every year to manage the Evil Qi energy company, and because of her association with Chen Mobai, her profits were only at the level of millions.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. For me, it¡¯s just an item to appreciate and enjoy¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Yan Bingxuan, trying his best to make her feel that the item was not very valuable, so as to avoid any psychological burden on her.


    However, even so, after the incident with the Peach Blossom Sage forcing a purchase came to light, all the female cultivators in the Immortal Gate knew the value of the pearl, and Yan Bingxuan felt extremely guilty for having made Chen Mobai lose a billion or two.


    Having just managed to calm the emotionally turbulent Yan Bingxuan and hung up the phone, Chen Mobai received a call from another party involved.


    Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°It¡¯s a rarity. How come you thought of calling me today?¡±


    It should be noted that the communication between the two was almost always initiated by Chen Mobai, who would call to inquire about certain matters.


    ¡°I¡¯m calling to thank you. I didn¡¯t expect the gift you sent me to be so precious.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s lighthearted words resounded, and Chen Mobai immediately started to play along again.


    He expressed that the item was just a slightly nicer looking accessory for him, and as a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll, water Spirit Qi was of no use to him. Giving it to her, on the other hand, would ensure it was put to good use.


    For Chen Mobai, Wen Ren Xuewei was a purely platonic close female friend. Conversing with her was the most relaxing and comfortable among all his female friends. He only needed to maintain the persona of a talent of the same caliber as her.


    As they spoke, Chen Mobai also learned about the true purpose of the Peach Blossom Sage forcing the purchase of the pearl, which was to aid her daughter Pei Qingshuang in her Core Formation.


    ¡°I hope Cui can seize this opportunity to reach the realm of Clear Heart of Sword¡­¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei still very much hoped that her close friend would succeed, as both she and Yan Qiongzhi had already formed their cores, and she didn¡¯t want Pei Qingshuang to fall too far behind.


    ¡°Clear Heart of Sword? Is there a problem with that realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words led Wen Ren Xuewei to misunderstand, believing that he, renowned as the greatest sword talent of the century, sought to impart some successful experiences to Pei Qingshuang through her.


    She expressed Pei Qingshuang¡¯s gratitude on her behalf, but also mentioned that the latter had already started her retreat and couldn¡¯t convey it herself.


    ¡°No, what I mean is, is there any difficulty with achieving that realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai was genuinely puzzled, for he attained the state of Clear Heart of Sword right after the Purple Electric Sword acknowledged him as its master.


    In fact, it wasn¡¯t even his doing; after the Purple Electric Sword gave him a hint, he reluctantly let down his guard and achieved Unity of Man and Sword.


    ¡°That¡­ Cui simply can¡¯t compare with a genuine, unparalleled genius of the Sword Dao like you.¡±


    After hearing this, Wen Ren Xuewei could only say so.


    ¡°Alright then, I hope she forms her core soon. Oh, and I¡¯m planning on purchasing two more Void Blind Boxes¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to get too entangled with the Nascent Soul superiors from the Immortal Gate, so he quickly changed the topic from Pei Qingshuang to a hobby he shared with Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°Two? You might want to try buying a set of blind boxes. You could pull out even better things.¡±


    A set of blind boxes?


    Chen Mobai was surprised and immediately asked Wen Ren Xuewei for more information.


    As it turned out, some of the Void Blind Boxes from the Immortal Gate came from Golden Core Masters who had passed away in meditation on Di Yuan Star, but many others were retrieved from the domain battlefields during world-founding wars.


    Since the establishment of order on Di Yuan Star by the Immortal Gate, a total of thirteen world-founding level wars had been waged, the kind that mobilizes all cultivators in a brutal conflict.


    During these, even Deified Nascent Souls perished, let alone Golden Core Masters.


    Before they died, these Golden Core Masters would place all their lifelong possessions into their domains and leave a mark, waiting for Immortal Sect Disciples to recover them.


    The so-called set of blind boxes were left by Golden Core Masters who perished at the same place and at the same time on a battlefield.


    And these sets had a high potential for containing extraordinary items, of course, it was also very probable that the Golden Core Masters exhausted everything during the battle, leaving the boxes empty.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai found it very interesting. He felt that opening these could provide a pretext for the extraordinary items he brought from the Barren, and immediately inquired, ¡°Are these sets of blind boxes also available for rush purchase on the Immortal Gate Network?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Not quite. These are so risky that hardly anyone buys them, so they just pile up at the Portal Management Bureau. Those who buy these mostly do so for the increased Power of Void after breaking them apart. If you¡¯re interested, I can inquire for you. These are typically put up for sale directly at the flagship store after the price is negotiated.¡±


    Upon hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai, without any hesitation, immediately asked her to help inquire.


    ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve mastered the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram and received an Auspicious Blessing. I feel like it would be profitable to use it to open blind boxes, so I sold the pearls to raise Good Deed Points to buy them.¡±


    Chen Mobai first laid the groundwork with Wen Ren Xuewei to avoid too much commotion in the Immortal Gate later when he would possibly open a vast array of exceptional items.


    ¡°You¡¯ve mastered it already? Truly worthy of having the Qualification of Deification. You should know that the Yuanyang Ancestor switched to cultivating the Sun Golden Crow Method because he felt he couldn¡¯t reach Perfection with the former¡­¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei, upon learning that Chen Mobai was favored with an Auspicious Blessing, was slightly taken aback.

 Chapter 1187 - Chapter 1187 653 Chapter Pluto_2

    Chapter 1187: 653 Chapter Pluto_2 Chapter 1187: 653 Chapter Pluto_2 This ¡°Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun¡± diagram is considered to be the spiritual consciousness technique with the slowest cultivation progress in the Immortal Gate. Without the help of a top-ranked Phoenix Tree Spirit Tree, it¡¯s as slow as a snail.


    Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know that the Yuanyang Ancestor had cultivated this technique, so he immediately humbly gave credit to the Biyu Wutong tree.


    After all, when the Yuanyang Ancestor first appeared, the Biyu Wutong tree in Red Sandstone City had not yet grown into the Rank-4 pinnacle that it is today.


    So when Chen Mobai said this, Wen Ren Xuewei found it very easy to accept.


    However, as a friend, she still reminded Chen Mobai that the ¡°Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun¡± diagram was a consciousness technique decoded from the Phoenix Seal Scripture, and that he must apply to study it at the Heavenly Book Academy when he had time.


    She now had immense confidence in Chen Mobai¡¯s talent and believed he would definitely be able to discern something useful from the Tian Shu.


    Chen Mobai, however, was well aware of his own limitations and readily agreed, although internally he thought it best to avoid going if possible, to prevent showing up empty-handed and ruining the persona he had built as a God-Transcending cultivator in the Immortal Gate.


    After hanging up the call, Wen Ren Xuewei went to activate her connections within the Jumang Academy.


    Ten minutes later, she sent a contact to Chen Mobai.


    It was from the Portal Management Bureau, specifically a person in charge of dispatching Void Blind Boxes, named Lin Dongsong, a graduate of the Jumang Academy.


    Each Void Blind Box listed on the Immortal Gate Network was chosen and placed by him.


    ¡°Greetings, Councilor Chen¡­¡±


    Lin Dongsong had not yet reached Core Formation, so he was very polite in dealing with Chen Mobai, and thanks to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s prior communication, their conversation went very smoothly.


    However, the blind boxes that were retrieved from the battlefield beyond their domain were much cheaper: one for 10% off, two for 20% off, three for 30% off, and five or more at a minimum dumping price of 40% off.


    Chen Mobai was unaware of this pricing system and, after checking his account, found he could just afford three of them.


    Lin Dongsong sent him a form detailing the current inventory of Void Blind Boxes stored by the Portal Management Bureau, including the names, biographies, Cultivation Realms, and locations of passing away for Golden Core Masters who had passed away in meditation.


    Of course, many pages in the data were blank, indicating they were retrieved from the battlefield beyond the domain and the details of the domain owners such as life history were unknown!


    ¡°Councilor Chen, because these might contain objects unique to the realms beyond and have never appeared in the Immortal Gate, there might be some risks associated with the blind boxes.¡±


    ¡°And to prevent impacts on Di Yuan Star¡¯s environment, you must sign a contract when purchasing, ensuring that the blind box is opened within your own domain.¡±


    ¡°This way, even if something potentially hazardous to the environment appears, at most your domain will be the only area that is sealed off and no harm will come to the entirety of Di Yuan Star.¡±


    Lin Dongsong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai understand why these blind boxes retrieved from beyond their domain were cheaper.


    But for him, this was actually just right.


    He possessed many items that were not available in the Immortal Gate.


    As for the danger¡­


    He could simply avoid opening them if need be.


    Chen Mobai was quite fond of his domain and was planning to transplant Red Sandstone City¡¯s Biyu Wutong tree into it after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in the future.


    It took two days for Chen Mobai to review the list of Void Blind Boxes. In the end, he chose three that had been retrieved from the battlefield of Ming Wang Star.


    Ming Wang Star was considered to be the site of the most tragic battle in the history of the Immortal Gate.


    The talents of the Underworld Race residing there were unique, with the most powerful Death God even stronger than the Immortal Gate¡¯s God-Transcending cultivators. At one point during the clash of worlds, the Immortal Gate was even counter-attacked.


    In the end, it was only with difficulty that the Yuanyang Ancestor managed to repel the King of the Underworld and close the portal between the two realms using the attribute suppression from the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Chen Mobai, after consulting the relevant information, found Ming Wang Star to be very suitable for purifying the Asura Dharma Aspect and Return to the Sun Spirit Water, so he chose it.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, I¡¯ve canceled the orders for the two blind boxes you previously placed. Just click the link I sent you, which takes you to the set of three blind boxes from Ming Wang Star, and place a new order for payment.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Lin Dongsong¡¯s instructions and quickly received a simplistically packaged metal box. After using a special technique to break the seal, he saw three fist-sized spheres of light shimmering with silver radiance.


    He hesitated for a moment but couldn¡¯t repress his curiosity.


    But because he had to abide by the rules, he used Turtle Treasure to transport himself into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, arriving at the periphery of the Great Dao Tree.


    He controlled the Formless Puppet to enter his own Domain, then connected the Domain to the outside of the Divine Tree Secret Realm. If anything unexpected came out of the boxes, he was ready to immediately command the Formless Puppet to send the items over to the Great Dao Tree.


    However, it turned out that his worries were unfounded.


    After opening the three Void Blind Boxes.


    One contained only a change of clothes, some Fasting Pills, and a notebook.


    Another produced a pale jade section resembling bone and a bottle of pitch-black liquid, somewhat like blood.


    The last one held a bag of Spirit Stones, a Rank-3 Flying Sword missing quite a few chunks, and a tattered set of Taoist Robes.


    Chen Mobai opened the bag of Spirit Stones and saw that it contained three intermediate-grade Spirit Stones and twenty-seven Lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    After some thought, he took out twenty-seven intermediate-grade Spirit Stones and three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and put them in.


    To play it safe, he didn¡¯t launder too much. These Spirit Stones could be openly used in the Five Elements Essence Puppets that Chai Lun created, legitimately aiding the development of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s company.


    Even though Chen Mobai had an Auspicious Blessing, ensuring that his gains would at least be above average, compared to the value of Good Deed Points he had spent, these three blind boxes were a loss.


    This also confirmed one thing¨Copening these extraterrestrial blind boxes generally wouldn¡¯t be profitable.


    No wonder they were so cheap, even the Golden Core Masters of Immortal Gate were reluctant to buy them.


    Chen Mobai used the Formless Puppet to scan the notebook from the first blind box, converted it to an electronic version, and then began reading it on his phone.


    The beginning of the notes detailed the owner¡¯s name and origin. His name was Yu Jirong, a Golden Core Master from the Repairing Heaven Institute who had formed a small team with two other Golden Core Masters and entered Ming Wang Star through the Portal to gather intelligence.


    Yu Jirong was also a cultivator who had mastered the Guidance Book, allowing him to easily gather a good deal of information about the Underworld Race on Ming Wang Star.


    For instance, the highest ruler of the Underworld Race was the King of the Underworld, created by the Death God, and the ultimate goal of all the Kings of the Underworld was to venture into the deepest part of the River of Death that flowed on Ming Wang Star, to follow the vanishing trails of the Death God.


    The cultivation method of the Underworld Race was unique. They were dedicated to cultivating the Asura Dharma Aspect, ultimately transforming into a being beyond the heavens and acquiring power nearly equivalent to that of the Death God.


    However, not even the King of the Underworld could achieve this step. Only by entering the River of Death could one transform into the ultimate Asura¡­


    After reading through the notebook, Chen Mobai slightly nodded his approval, then manipulated the Formless Puppet to pick up the bone-like pale jade.


    He felt a faintly cold energy circulating within it and, after some consideration, abandoned the idea of inscribing on it.


    He took out the Soul Nourishing Wood he frequently used from his Storage Bag, directed the puppet to inscribe the cultivation techniques for the Legal Body Nascent Soul using the script of the Immortal Gate.


    After Elder Ming had become the External Incarnation of Luo Yixuan, her piece of Fourth Stage Soul Nourishing Wood became redundant, so it became part of Chen Mobai¡¯s collection.


    After having used the Fourth Stage wood, Chen Mobai could no longer appreciate his original Third Stage piece, and decided it was perfectly suited for use here.


    After completing the inscription, he changed the name of the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    To ¡°Asura Dharma Aspect¡±.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He then inscribed the prescription for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water on the other side of the Soul Nourishing Wood and finally took out two Black Jade Boxes, both sealed with the flowers of the other shore and the horns of a nine-dragons hornbeam.


    These were his gains from opening Yu Jirong¡¯s blind box.


    With the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram as a cover, his incredible luck should be acceptable to the people of the Immortal Gate, right?


    Chen Mobai hesitated with the thought.


    But soon, considering that this matter concerned Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul, he decided to err on the side of being slightly more aggressive.

 Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188 Chapter 654 Causing a Sensation

    Chapter 1188: Chapter 654: Causing a Sensation Chapter 1188: Chapter 654: Causing a Sensation Guangbai Pharmaceutical Factory, Chu Chuanhua had just completed the analysis of a new material¡¯s properties and stepped out of the laboratory. He picked up his phone and habitually checked for any missed calls and text messages.


    Scrolling down, he suddenly noticed a very unfamiliar number.


    He subconsciously ignored it and began to check the text messages.


    With the keen eyesight of a Golden Core Master, he read through them in a flash.


    Then, Chu Chuanhua saw the text message sent from the unfamiliar number.


    ¡°Senior Chu, hello, I am Chen Mobai from the 5012 class of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. I took the liberty of getting your contact details from Che Laoshi, mainly because I obtained an interesting alchemy recipe when I was opening a Void Blind Box¡­¡±


    Chu Chuanhua was naturally aware of the name Chen Mobai, and could even say it was renowned.


    After all, not just anyone is deserving of the title ¡°Qualification of Deification.¡±


    Chu Chuanhua, who managed to reach Core Formation, was also among the top talents of his class.


    But even for him, the prospect of subsequently achieving Nascent Soul Formation was doubtful, let alone Divinity Transformation.


    As Chu Chuanhua thought of Chen Mobai¡¯s life, he glanced over the electronic version of the alchemy recipe absentmindedly, generally uninterested in items unveiled from blind boxes.


    With the knowledge that after thousands of years of development, Immortal Gate¡¯s current medical theoretical knowledge was at its peak, he did not believe that an alchemy recipe from hundreds of years ago could intrigue him.


    Thinking this way, Chu Chuanhua read the beginning of the recipe.


    Then, his eyes widened in shock.


    What kind of alchemy recipe is this?


    How had he never seen it before?


    Are there really Spirit Plants called Other Shore Flower and Nine Dragons Sophora in the Immortal Gate?


    Could it be that a Golden Core senior played a prank by purposely leaving a messy alchemy recipe in their Domain?


    Initially, that¡¯s what Chu Chuanhua thought, but as he read on with his professional expertise, he grew more and more astonished.


    Because the system of this alchemy recipe was completely different from that of Immortal Gate.


    He could only vaguely discern that this might bring a significant impact to the Alchemy System of Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Junior Chen, from which senior¡¯s Domain did you obtain this alchemy recipe?¡±


    After reading, Chu Chuanhua couldn¡¯t wait to make a call. Most Void Blind Boxes listed on the Immortal Gate Network could be traced back to their origins.


    ¡°Senior Chu, hello, this blind box was recovered from the battlefield of Ming Wang Star. Fortunately, the original owner of the blind box left behind a notebook¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai did not conceal anything and recounted the story of Yu Jirong.


    When Chu Chuanhua heard that it was an Underworld Race alchemy recipe tied to the Underworld Race cultivation method, he immediately understood its value.


    ¡°Junior Chen, with the current technology of the Immortal Gate, it would probably take thousands of trials to find a substitute method for this alchemy recipe¡­¡±


    Chu Chuanhua expressed his opinion from a professional standpoint, because among the ingredients of Return to the Sun Spirit Water, there were some herbs that Immortal Gate did not possess, and even their peak mastery of alchemy techniques could only resort to a grinding approach.


    ¡°I see, I¡¯m actually mainly curious about the Asura Dharma Aspect, so I was wondering if I could refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, which would allow me to attempt an alternative path to Nascent Soul Formation,¡± Chen Mobai said with some regret. When Chu Chuanhua heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.


    What Asura Dharma Aspect?


    An alternative path to Nascent Soul Formation?


    Is it the cultivation method of the Underworld Race mentioned in the alchemy recipe?


    Chu Chuanhua immediately continued to inquire, and Chen Mobai pretended to hesitate for a moment before revealing the details related to the Asura Dharma Aspect.


    ¡°Junior Chen, the Asura Dharma Aspect is extremely valuable. Have you reported this to the headmaster?¡±


    After hearing this, Chu Chuanhua immediately spoke up with a serious expression.


    Even though all cultivation techniques in Immortal Gate were openly available, to this day, an alternative approach to Nascent Soul Formation like the Legal Body Nascent Soul was unheard of.


    Perhaps it was precisely because of the openness that everyone had access to the most orthodox experiences and methods of Nascent Soul Formation, so there was no further exploration of other paths.


    ¡°I¡¯ve mentioned it to Che Laoshi, and he should have reported it to the headmaster. I also registered the items I obtained with the Portal Management Bureau.¡±


    Chen Mobai told the truth. Since he had decided to use the power of the Immortal Gate to refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, he naturally could not hide what he found in the Void Blind Box.


    Of course, he also couldn¡¯t be too deliberate in publicizing these things.


    For Chen Mobai, this was very simple.


    He just needed to follow the most orthodox two channels.


    When opening blind boxes recovered from outside the Domain, one had to register the contents with the Portal Management Bureau since no one could guarantee whether there might be substances harmful to the environment of Di Yuan Star Circle within.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As a member of the Immortal Gate parliament, Chen Mobai always abided by the law. Thus, he added a list of Tianhe Realm specialties to his inventory and reported it to his contact, Lin Dongsong.


    However, as Lin Dongsong was only a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, he did not fully grasp the importance of the Asura Dharma Aspect. He still had to report this matter to his superiors.


    On the other hand, inside the Dance Tool Dao Academy, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s own status as one of the upper echelons, feedback was much more immediate.


    After Chen Mobai informed Che Yucheng about the matter, the latter immediately gave him Chu Chuanhua¡¯s phone number and went straight to Master Chengxuan.


    While Chen Mobai was on the phone with Chu Chuanhua, a call from Che Yucheng suddenly interrupted them.

 Chapter 1189 - Chapter 1189 Chapter 654 Causing a Sensation_2

    Chapter 1189: Chapter 654: Causing a Sensation_2 Chapter 1189: Chapter 654: Causing a Sensation_2 Chen Mobai could only apologize to Chu Chuanhua and then picked up the call from his teacher.


    ¡°The Asura Dharma Aspect has been reviewed by the principal, and it¡¯s confirmed that it¡¯s not from the Immortal Gate¡¯s system. However, whether it¡¯s practicable still needs to be verified by various experts,¡±


    Che Yucheng described their situation, and Chen Mobai nodded; this was within his expectations.


    ¡°Because of the importance of the matter, everything you obtained from the blind box might be taken by the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate for analysis. But rest assured, since all the departments with authority will want to get involved, there will be a period of bureaucratic wrangling. It¡¯ll be quite easy for Wang Shuye to place our own people in there to ensure that your contribution is not overlooked.¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t really considered the things Che Yucheng mentioned, as he always kept a low profile within the Immortal Gate. Even the greatest of achievements couldn¡¯t compel him to step out of Red Sandstone City.


    Chen Mobai had already decided that after the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± once he could transplant the Biyu Wutong into his own realm, he would emerge from his seclusion.


    By that time, with the support of the Dance Tool Dao Academy behind him, plus being a Nascent Soul Superior, he would at least be given the position of Vice Hall Master of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen.


    It¡¯s even possible that upon emergence, he would reach the peak, becoming one of the Three Great Hall Masters.


    That was how steady he was!


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai immediately declared to Che Yucheng with righteous words that he would willingly donate anything he opened from the blind box as long as it could be useful to the Immortal Gate and the Daoist Academy.


    His only request was that once the Immortal Gate finished researching the Asura Dharma Aspect, they would provide him with a copy of how to practice it and the necessary resources for its cultivation.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words touched Che Yucheng, who praised his noble character and felt proud of his disciple.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai waited another day.


    Eventually, the jurisdiction managing the portals realized the value of the ¡°Asura Dharma Aspect,¡± and the director Xue Yuzhu personally called Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, please ensure that there are no omissions on the inventory from the items obtained from the blind box. The Xianwu Hall is currently in a meeting and is about to send a joint expert group to Red Sandstone City to inspect the items on the inventory. Each item will be examined by three experts, and an omission would necessitate reconvening additional personnel for another meeting, which would be quite troublesome.¡±


    Xue Yuzhu first conveyed the highest orders from the Immortal Gate, then mentioned something that greatly surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The head of the expert group, the Xianwu Hall, is inviting a Nascent Soul Superior to join. Since it involves an alchemy recipe, it might be one of those three, but Daoist Yu Yi is very interested in the Asura Dharma Aspect and has volunteered¡­¡±


    Generally, when a Nascent Soul Superior speaks up, even the Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen would show respect, let alone the soon-to-be-retiring Head of Immortal Affairs who would certainly not offend a peer.


    Chen Mobai knew Daoist Yu Yi only as the principal of the Heavenly Book Academy and a Fifth Order Rune Master of the Immortal Gate.


    Despite the deep influence, the possibility of his added ingredients in the blind box being exposed made Chen Mobai nervous upon hearing that a Nascent Soul Superior would lead the team.


    After his chat with Xue Yuzhu, Chen Mobai shared the conversation with Che Yucheng, hoping to obtain more detailed information from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Daoist Yu Yi is a very nice person. She¡¯s only interested in knowledge, and that¡¯s exactly why she volunteered to go to the Heavenly Book Academy, to comprehend those Tian Shu.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt slightly relieved after hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words.


    Three days later, all the major departments of the Xianwu Hall had reached a consensus, forming a rather luxurious expert group that set out for Red Sandstone City.


    Of course, before this expert group arrived, Ye Yune had already notified Chen Mobai on behalf of the Kaiyuan Hall, advising him to prepare for cooperation.


    After all, as a Golden Core Master, unless there was an official hierarchy, only orders from the Kaiyuan Hall could have jurisdiction over Chen Mobai.


    Daoist Yu Yi was a bespectacled female cultivator clad in simple elegant attire, with delicate manners, fair skin, and a gentle nod to Chen Mobai, affirming his contribution to the Immortal Gate. After the expert group confirmed the precise value of the items from the blind box, she promised that a generous reward would follow.


    Chen Mobai had no expectations for the reward from the Immortal Gate, guessing it probably wouldn¡¯t even match his Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s annual income in the Eastern Wilderness.


    So he calmly nodded and pointed to a long table on top of Danxia Mountain, displaying all the items he had spiked and then listed as from three Void Blind Boxes.


    Daoist Yu Yi was slightly surprised by his calm response, but soon got down to business.


    The expert group each had a copy of the list and, after Daoist Yu Yi verified the numbers were correct, they approached the long table in groups of three. They all donned gloves and began examining the items with great care.


    Among them, one of the experts evaluating the Return to the Sun Spirit Water alchemy recipe was Chu Chuanhua.


    Clearly, he had been placed there by the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Besides him, there were two other experts graduated from the academy greeting Chen Mobai openly.


    In addition to people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai also exchanged warm greetings with experts from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    At this time, Yu Yi had already picked up the piece of Soul Nourishing Wood that was engraved with the Asura Dharma Aspect and Return to the Sun Spirit Water and began to examine it.


    After she finished, it was Chu Chuanhua¡¯s turn to look at the alchemy recipe, followed by a Fourth Order Spiritual Plant Master from the Jumang Academy named Zhuang Wei, who took over to identify the origin of the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Zhuang Wei quickly confirmed that it was not from Di Yuan Star.


    Meanwhile, the three experts had used special instruments and cultivation techniques to peer through the restrictions and examine what was sealed inside the Black Jade Box.


    Chen Mobai saw on the instrument screen the clear contours of the flowers from the other shore and the nine dragons¡¯ sophora pods taking shape.


    But he was the only one who knew about these two items, although they were mentioned in the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, they were only briefly described in terms of their medicinal properties and effects.


    ¡°Superior, the restrictions on the surface of these two boxes are indeed drastically different from the system of Immortal Gate, but quite crude. We can attempt to open them,¡± the expert in charge of the Black Jade Box, Yi Shao, said as he reported to Daoist Yu Yi, who glanced at the screen before asking a question.


    ¡°What are the chances?¡±


    ¡°Ninety percent!¡±


    Yu Yi shook her head immediately after hearing this.


    ¡°When you are one hundred percent sure, go and open these two boxes.¡±


    After hearing this, Yi Shao¡¯s face showed some difficulty. He went back to discuss with the other two experts, and then they came back to report.


    ¡°Superior, the equipment in Red Sandstone City is insufficient. If we transport the boxes to the laboratory in Wangwu Cave Heaven, we can ensure a one hundred percent chance of success,¡± they said.


    ¡°Hmm, then arrange the fastest flight, the three of you escort these two boxes back, and inform me of the result of opening the boxes first,¡± Yu Yi instructed.


    After hearing this, Yi Shao nodded excitedly.


    Chen Mobai watched as they took the two Black Jade Boxes away. With the full support of the Immortal Gate¡¯s mechanisms, news of a successful box opening came seven days later.


    Full, high-definition videos and photos of the flowers from the other shore and the nine dragons¡¯ sophora pods reached the hands of the team of experts present.


    ¡°Eh, these two items feel somehow connected to this Return to the Sun Spirit Water¡­¡±


    Chu Chuanhua, as a Fourth Order Alchemist, grasped the key point with his professional expertise.


    He quickly realized that these might be the two main ingredients for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, the flowers from the other shore and the nine dragons¡¯ sophora pods.


    Upon hearing this, Yu Yi¡¯s eyes lit up, and she made a call to Yi Shao, instructing him to preserve the two ingredients that were taken out from the Black Jade Box and to send them over.


    But three days later, when the experts arrived at Danxia Mountain, there was an additional person.


    Yi Shao and his two colleagues respectfully followed a middle-aged man with a slightly balding head.


    Upon seeing him, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression showed surprise.


    All the experts present put down what they were doing and respectfully saluted him.


    ¡°Elder Yuanxu is seen!¡±


    Yu Yi¡¯s delicate brows furrowed slightly in confusion as she looked at Yuan Xu, who had appeared unexpectedly.

    ¡°With the two main ingredients now available, we can almost try to refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water. I just finished a project and have some spare time, so I came over to resolve this matter,¡± Elder Yuanxu calmly told Daoist Yu Yi.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected that he would be able to draw out this person!


    But soon, a surge of exhilaration rose in his heart.


    Because within the Immortal Gate, it was said.


    There was nothing that Elder Yuanxu couldn¡¯t do, only things he didn¡¯t want to do.

 Chapter 1190 - Chapter 1190 Chapter 655 The Agreement with Yuan Xu

    Chapter 1190: Chapter 655: The Agreement with Yuan Xu Chapter 1190: Chapter 655: The Agreement with Yuan Xu Elder Yuanxu made his move, and Chen Mobai finally felt at ease.


    This signified that the Return to the Sun Spirit Water was definitely going to be refined; it was just a matter of how much time it would take to test those alternative medicinal ingredients.


    ¡°Since these items were left behind by the predecessors of the Repairing Heaven Institute after their exploration of Ming Wang Star, perhaps some information can only be deciphered with the Guidance Book. I¡¯ll take them all with me,¡± he declared.


    Although Elder Yuanxu appeared to have an ordinary appearance, his way of doing things was extremely domineering. Upon arriving, he directly intended to take control of this group of experts and all the items that had come out of the blind box.


    Everyone looked towards Daoist Yu Yi, as she was the nominal leader sent by the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I disagree!¡±


    Daoist Yu Yi¡¯s four simple words filled the entire room with a tension as taut as a drawn sword ready to strike.


    All being Nascent Souls, the sudden arrival of another wanting to claim all the credit was bound to lead to a conflict with no one accepting the other.


    At this time, many were already regretting their decision to join this expert group. No one wanted to be caught up in the competition between two Nascent Souls.


    ¡°If I recall, all these items belong to Councilman Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been watching the proceedings from the sidelines, was suddenly startled when he heard what Elder Yuanxu said.


    What does he mean?


    Is he asking me to offend people?


    ¡°Indeed, but according to the law, these items are critical to whether the entire Immortal Gate can leap forward, and thus the Gate has the authority to decide upon their use. If you wish to take them away, you must at the very least call a vote in the Kaiyuan Hall.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was sweating bullets and wondering how to voice his thoughts, Daoist Yu Yi had already taken over the conversation, confronting Elder Yuanxu directly.


    This Elder is indeed a good person.


    Chen Mobai remembered what Che Yucheng said and nodded in agreement internally.


    But soon, he had another realization.


    How come it sounds like, even though these items are still mine, I no longer have the right to decide their fate?


    This isn¡¯t right!


    ¡°Then let us take the matter to the Kaiyuan Hall for discussion,¡± Elder Yuanxu replied, having heard this, and offered no further objections, simply nodding along with what Daoist Yu Yi said.


    Within the entire Immortal Gate, the Repairing Heaven Institute held the greatest power. As the headmaster of Patching Heaven, as long as he did his utmost, he was bound to accomplish what he set out to do.


    Daoist Yu Yi had also considered this and was slightly troubled, though she spoke with certainty. Her initial intention was to stall for time, considering Elder Yuanxu might not want to go through the trouble.


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss Yu Jirong¡¯s items at the Kaiyuan Hall then, and keep the rest here,¡± she suggested.


    Elder Yuanxu paused for a moment after hearing her words, not expecting Daoist Yu Yi to so blatantly disregard his wishes.


    ¡°This Bone Jade and Black Liquid, I suspect they are from top-ranked members of the Underworld Race, and they also need to be taken for the Asura Dharma Aspect experiments,¡± he insisted.


    But now that he had resolved to intervene, Elder Yuanxu naturally wanted to do his best. Aside from a bag of Spirit Stones, a damaged Rank-3 Flying Sword, and Taoist Robes, he wanted everything else.


    ¡°Then you can come and take them after the results of the Kaiyuan Hall meeting are out,¡± Daoist Yu Yi replied calmly. Then she gestured to Yi Shao to bring over the two items from the Black Jade Box, allowing the experts, Zhuang Wei and Chu Chuanhua, to begin their appraisal.


    Yi Shao glanced at Elder Yuanxu, but according to the laws of the Immortal Gate, he still had to listen to Daoist Yu Yi. Regretting his decision to have publicized the opening of the box, he now found himself caught between the disputes of two Nascent Souls.


    With a bitter smile, he placed the carefully preserved Other Shore Flowers and the Nine Dragons Cassia on the table, not even daring to look at Elder Yuanxu again.


    ¡°Little Chen, this is your territory, isn¡¯t it? Won¡¯t you invite me for a cup of tea?¡± Elder Yuanxu, however, no longer argued and walked directly to Chen Mobai to speak.


    ¡°Headmaster, this way please,¡± Chen Mobai responded. Having studied at the Repairing Heaven Institute and even assisted Elder Yuanxu in repairing puppets, he had to treat him with the respect due from a student.


    Under the strange gazes of everyone in the expert group, the two made their way to the Biyu Wutong tree.


    Chen Mobai hesitated, then took out his most precious possession, the Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea given to him by Wen Ren Xuewei, and steeped a pot with a pang of heartache.


    ¡°Eh, this tea¡­¡± Elder Yuanxu exclaimed in surprise after tasting it. He closed his eyes and pondered for about ten seconds, then nodded slightly.


    ¡°Wen Ren Xuewei gifted it to me¡­¡± Chen Mobai tactfully indicated that this was the best tea he had to offer.


    ¡°Though the effect doesn¡¯t last long for me, it has helped me resolve a minor issue,¡± Elder Yuanxu conveyed, causing Chen Mobai to marvel. He instantly remembered those ten seconds and was shocked at the realization.

    This tea only lasted such a short while for a Nascent Soul Superior?


    ¡°Do you have any requests?¡± Elder Yuanxu suddenly asked, catching Chen Mobai off guard with his inquiry. But Chen Mobai quickly grasped that Elder Yuanxu likely wanted the items from the blind box.


    After all, he had legitimately purchased them from the Portal Management Bureau, and even if the Immortal Gate wanted to requisition them, they had to offer a price that would satisfy him, as stipulated in the law.


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to spend over a hundred years mired in bureaucracy before I can acquire the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine. So, if this Asura Dharma Aspect truly offers another pathway to ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, I hope the Immortal Gate can provide me with a copy once it¡¯s researched,¡± Chen Mobai carefully phrased his request, trying to avoid exposing any flaws to Elder Yuanxu.


    ¡°No problem, if this progression method of the Underworld Race can be deciphered, according to the law of the Immortal Gate, it will naturally become public, and all qualifying citizens will have access to download and read it,¡± Elder Yuanxu affirmed.

 Chapter 1191 - Chapter 1191 Chapter 655 The Agreement with Yuan Xu_2

    Chapter 1191: Chapter 655: The Agreement with Yuan Xu_2 Chapter 1191: Chapter 655: The Agreement with Yuan Xu_2 ¡°`


    Elder Yuanxu made a guarantee on the spot regarding this matter.


    ¡°The cultivation of the Asura Dharma Aspect requires Return to the Sun Spirit Water, and I am willing to offer the Other Shore Flower and the Nine Dragons Sophora Pods, only hoping that once you succeed, you can give me a complete one in return,¡±


    Chen Mobai put forth another reasonable demand, after all, just having the cultivation technique definitely wouldn¡¯t suffice, and moreover, this was his main goal.


    ¡°I have looked over the alchemy recipe, and with the techniques of the Immortal Gate, if the experiment is successful, ten portions of Return to the Sun Spirit Water can be concocted. For you to ask for one portion is not excessive, and I can agree to that.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu was always decisive in his actions and speech, and upon hearing his words, Chen Mobai finally felt a load lifted off his heart.


    Although he still possessed the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, the subsequent acquisitions of Return to the Sun Spirit Water could be figured out later; the most critical thing right now was to have Zhou Shengqing transform into the Embodiment Nascent Soul.


    However, upon hearing Elder Yuanxu¡¯s unhesitant agreement, he felt a tinge of regret inside, wondering if asking for two portions directly might not have been a problem.


    ¡°I will need the Bone Jade and Black Liquid as well,¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai fall silent, Elder Yuanxu once again spoke up; since he wanted to research the Asura Dharma Aspect, he surely intended to collect all related items into his possession.


    Besides these items, all the Void Blind Boxes that were recovered from Ming Wang Star and stored at the Portal Management Bureau had also been delivered to the Repairing Heaven Institute, waiting for him to open each one.


    ¡°President, as you know, I have made some achievements in Puppetry Technique and dream of developing a Rank-4 biomimetic puppet, so I hope to have a Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead as the core for calculation,¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Mobai recalled the vital item he was lacking for his scheme to exploit the Great Dao Tree.


    ¡°A Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead¡­ It¡¯s a bit troublesome to create, and I will have to do it myself. It might have to wait until after I have thoroughly researched the Asura Dharma Aspect. If you don¡¯t mind, I could lend you mine to use in the meantime.¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite tempted after hearing this, but upon further thought, he realized that Elder Yuanxu¡¯s Heavenly Calculation Bead was merely a loan. If it were to be reclaimed in the future and he found traces of the Longevity Sect¡¯s Grand Spells stored within, it would completely expose him.


    For the sake of caution, Chen Mobai still shook his head and declined.


    He expressed that he was not accustomed to using another¡¯s belongings and would rather wait until the president had the time to make a new one.


    ¡°Then it is agreed. When the time comes for the Kaiyuan Hall meeting, you will stand by my side and enter with me,¡±


    Upon completing his statement, Elder Yuanxu received Chen Mobai¡¯s nod of agreement.


    He had initially intended to use these items to procure just a portion of Return to the Sun Spirit Water, but he had not expected the bonus of a Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    The phrase ¡°fully satisfied¡± could best describe his current mood.


    However, after both parties had reached an agreement, Chen Mobai felt the gaze of Daoist Yu Yi pass over him, and all he could do was lower his head, pretending not to notice.


    The Return to the Sun Spirit Water was just too vital for him.


    Within the entirety of the Immortal Gate, no one was more assured of success than Elder Yuanxu, so Chen Mobai had simply made the most secure and wise choice.


    After reaching an agreement, the next day Chen Mobai received a message from the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee, inviting him to Wangwu Cave Heaven to attend a hastily convened meeting.


    It wasn¡¯t just him; the entire team of experts had also received this message.


    Daoist Yu Yi remained composed, instructing everyone to securely store away their items before leading the group back to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Seven days later, despite some turbulence, Elder Yuanxu managed to suppress the voices of dissent by leveraging the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s profound influence and took all items into his laboratory.


    This was also in part because Wang Shuye consulted with Chen Mobai and affirmed that he had voluntarily entered into the agreement with Elder Yuanxu, preventing any interference from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The Four Great Daoist Sects were deeply rooted in the Immortal Gate, and once Repairing Heaven and Dance Instruments had been notified, the matter was essentially settled.


    After the conference concluded, Chen Mobai planned to rekindle old friendships with Qing Nu or Meng Huang, but Elder Yuanxu took him straight back to Xixuan Dongtian.


    ¡°You have cultivated the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, and opening boxes comes with an Auspicious Blessing ¨C these you will open.¡±


    In the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s laboratory, Elder Yuanxu pointed to seventeen Void Blind Boxes delivered by the Portal Management Bureau and spoke to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai, with his incredible luck, had opened the Asura Dharma Aspect from a Void Blind Box, naturally making him a subject of suspicion among the Immortal Gate¡¯s ranks.


    ¡°`


    Knowing that he had already achieved the first layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, everyone accepted his reasoning.


    Wang Shuye even boasted that his decision to allocate Red Sandstone City under Chen Mobai¡¯s name was made with this in mind.


    He firmly believed that, with Chen Mobai¡¯s Qualification of Deification, he would definitely be able to accomplish what even Yuanyang Ancestor had not using the Biyu Wutong.


    The Auspicious Blessing was real, so Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t afraid of his reputation collapsing; he calmly helped to open the seventeen Void Blind Boxes.


    Of these, twelve were basically without any gains.


    However, within the other five, substances similar to Bone Jade were found, along with some dark gold metal weapons, dark blue feathers, and other items.


    Yet, the greatest findings were in two other blind box sets, which revealed dozens of different Spirit Plants and ores.


    The two Golden Core Masters sent by the Immortal Gate to Ming Wang Star had splendidly completed their task, gathering plant and mineral specimens from said celestial body.


    These items would allow the Immortal Gate to roughly simulate the climate and environmental conditions on Ming Wang Star.


    ¡°I wonder if among these specimens, there are any of the materials not possessed by the Immortal Gate that are listed in the Return to the Sun Spirit Water Alchemy Recipe¡­¡±


    Elder Yuanxu, wearing gloves, carefully picked up a golden leaf and held it in his palm. Hearing his words, Chen Mobai felt somewhat guilty.


    But he was quickly drawn to the golden lines that emerged within Elder Yuanxu¡¯s left eye.


    The research began, and on the massive screen on the laboratory wall, a three-dimensional model of the golden leaf appeared, each vein distinctly clear.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s astonished gaze, the leaf dissolved into millions of light beams, and strings of data code began to appear on the screen. Under the manipulation of Elder Yuanxu¡¯s Guidance Book, they transformed into the language of the Immortal Gate, translating and analyzing the characteristics of the leaf.


    Aside from Elder Yuanxu, there were also quite a few Golden Core Masters in the laboratory, each researching every single main and auxiliary medicine for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, comparing them with all the materials of the Immortal Gate to see if there were substitutes with similar properties.


    There was also a Rank-4 Alchemist who took a very small sample from the other shore flowers and the Jiulong locust horns, and began to analyze the composition of these two main medicines to see if they could be synthetically duplicated using the essence of the Five Elements.


    After the characteristics of the two main medicines were analyzed, Chen Mobai also saw various medicinal properties of the Immortal Gate transform into streams of data, commencing to simulate alchemy on the screen.


    This was a feature of Elder Yuanxu¡¯s Guidance Book, which could simulate alchemy, artifact refining, synthesis, and the like, specifically for research purposes and greatly saving materials.


    But even so, watching the screen with its repeated failures and replacements of medicines in the monotonous and tedious process of experimentation, Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was filled with admiration for the researchers.


    He certainly couldn¡¯t stay put.


    After watching for two days and realizing that he really couldn¡¯t be of help, Chen Mobai left Xixuan Dongtian and returned to his own Red Sandstone City.


    However, thanks to this event, Elder Yuanxu arranged a research assistance certificate in his name, which allowed him to travel between Xixuan Dongtian and Red Sandstone City.


    It¡¯s just that each time he came, he still needed to report in advance to Kaiyuan Hall.


    After returning to Red Sandstone City, Che Yucheng called him, and he honestly shared his observations at the Repairing Heaven Institute and then asked how the rest of the Return to the Sun Spirit Water would be distributed, apart from his portion, if it was successfully created.


    He was thinking of a way to possibly secure another share in the future.


    ¡°Each of the Four Great Daoist Academies will take one portion; the rest will belong to the Immortal Gate,¡± Che Yucheng stated a very straightforward allocation method, and Chen Mobai understood and nodded in agreement.

    Indeed, Elder Yuanxu was worthy of his great reputation.


    After waiting in Red Sandstone City for a year, Chen Mobai finally received a call from him.


    The first batch of Return to the Sun Spirit Water had been successfully prepared.


    Elder Yuanxu asked Chen Mobai whether he wanted to take it directly or store it.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai set off for Xixuan Dongtian that very night to take possession of this Immortal Gate¡¯s adapted version of the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.

 Chapter 1192 - Chapter 1192 Chapter 656 Thriving Development

    Chapter 1192: Chapter 656 Thriving Development Chapter 1192: Chapter 656 Thriving Development Because the majority of the primary and auxiliary ingredients for this Return to the Sun Spirit Water were replaced with materials from the Immortal Gates, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t be certain whether the effects were different from the original version from the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although he had great confidence in Elder Yuanxu¡¯s professional expertise, Chen Mobai still stayed for two days and inquired in detail about the related matters.


    ¡°Of the nine primary ingredients, aside from the two you obtained from your void blind box, the other six can be found on Di Yuan Star with almost identical medicinal effects. According to the distribution, the Six Great Medicine Factories each provided one primary ingredient.¡±


    ¡°As for the Xuan Gang Spirit Dew that was not available, I created a Rank-4 Spiritual Water as a substitute based on the described properties and continuous experimentation.¡±


    ¡°The rest of the auxiliary ingredients have been mostly replaced, but all of them together are not as important as any single primary ingredient. Therefore, you don¡¯t need to worry about the efficacy. The version of Return to the Sun Spirit Water I adapted will only be more outstanding and reasonable than the original recorded in the alchemy recipe.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Mobai¡¯s concerns and uncharacteristically spoke at length.


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed worthy of being the chancellor. Only you could have refined this Return to the Sun Spirit Water so quickly, mobilizing the resources of the entire Immortal Gates and the Four Great Daoist Sects to create an alchemy recipe from a different world, uncertain if it would be successful.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke truthfully; without Elder Yuanxu, not even Peach Blossom Sage or Three Extremes Sage would have found it easy to mobilize the whole Immortal Gates and the Four Great Daoist Sects for the sake of concocting an unproven elixir from another world.


    ¡°To cultivate the Asura Dharma Aspect, I also need a Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant called Soul Nourishing Wood. The piece inscribed by Yu Jirong is of too low a grade and has already lost its vitality.¡±


    ¡°I am now contemplating whether to substitute it with a Spirit Plant found on Di Yuan Star, or to use the foundation of the piece you obtained from the void blind box and refine something akin to a Lifespan Artifact.¡±


    ¡°But if so, the Asura Dharma Aspect will also need constant adjustments to ensure compatibility. For this, I¡¯ve already applied for help from Master Qian Xing with a Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead, which may take quite some time.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu handed the Return to the Sun Spirit Water to Chen Mobai, but did not provide the Asura Dharma Aspect, explaining that it was still not perfected.


    According to the laws of the Immortal Gates, only after multiple people have cultivated it successfully and it has been certified by a panel of experts, will it be approved to be placed in the Immortal Gate National Library for public access.


    Chen Mobai was not at all anxious about this since his main goal was the Return to the Sun Spirit Water itself.


    After his consultation, he did not stay at the Repairing Heaven Institute and took the sealed tube of dark blue Spirit Water directly back to his own domain, Red Sandstone City.


    Taking a familiar shortcut for his seclusion, he sealed off the entire top of Danxia Mountain and clicked on Turtle Treasure to return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this, this, this¡­¡±


    Within the Longevity Wood Dojo, Fu Zongjue looked at the Return to the Sun Spirit Water brought out by Chen Mobai and his eyes widened in disbelief, struggling to complete his sentence.


    And Zhou Shengqing, who emerged as a vision from the Soul Nourishing Wood, was even more ecstatic, nearly losing his form in excitement.


    The thought of a resurrection capable of potentially exceeding his former self and ascending to the pinnacle sent this old man into an unprecedented thrill, overwhelmed with joy and surprise.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this Return to the Sun Spirit Water, which Alchemy Master did you have refine it?¡±


    At last, Zhou Shengqing curbed his excitement and remembered this long-troubling issue, asking for clarification.


    ¡°When I ventured out for my Core Formation, I encountered a mysterious stranger in the ruins, who was guarding a Rank-5 medicinal herb until maturity. He was a Rank-5 Alchemist, and after the herb matured it needed to be immediately processed into an elixir. Unable to split himself, he had me help him collect some medicinal ingredients.¡±


    ¡°Once the elixir was completed, he gave me a talisman, saying that should I encounter any difficulties, I could activate it. As long as the issue wasn¡¯t too great, he would be able to assist me.¡±


    ¡°When exterminating Liu Jia Mountain, apart from the Jade Slip of the Legal Body Nascent Soul, there were two sealed Black Jade Boxes. After I managed to open them, I discovered that they contained the crucial Other Shore Flower and Nine Dragons Acacia Horns for the Refinement of the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, which led me to seek this senior¡¯s assistance.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke of a mysterious stranger, startling Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue with his tale.


    Having spent the entire previous year waiting for news of the Return to the Sun Spirit Water from the Immortal Gates, he thought up this excuse.


    To make it convincing, he even purposely went out to visit friends at a specific time.


    As he left, he took with him all the medicinal ingredients related to the Return to the Sun Spirit Water collected by the Divine Wood Sect, then he simply vanished, entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm and returning to the Immortal Gates.


    ¡°At the very least, he is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and perhaps he might even be a Divinity Transformation old monster roaming the mortal realm!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had no doubts about Chen Mobai¡¯s story. Based on the Rank-5 medicinal herb and the identity of a Rank-5 Alchemist, they boldly speculated.


    ¡°It must be one of those True Monarchs from the Eastern Earth Holy Land. If it were someone from the Demon Path, they wouldn¡¯t be so reasonable and easy to talk to.¡±


    In the entire Eastern Region across six realms, it was only in East Land and East Li where such ancient beings could be found. After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s fortuitous encounter, they both rejoiced at his good fortune.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that such an enormous opportunity was used by Junior Brother Chen just to refine a single Return to the Sun Spirit Water¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing also felt a deep regret that if it were truly a Divinity Transformation old monster, a single favor could have possibly traded for a Three Lights Divine Water from the Star Heaven Dao Sect of East Yu.

 Chapter 1193 - Chapter 1193 Chapter 656 Flourishing Development_2

    Chapter 1193: Chapter 656 Flourishing Development_2 Chapter 1193: Chapter 656 Flourishing Development_2 ¡°Our own strength is the real strength,¡± continued Mobai. ¡°Once Brother Zhou achieves the Nascent Soul, our Divine Wood Sect will genuinely unify the Eastern Wilderness. Even Fu Shixiong and the disciples below us will feel prouder and more at ease.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face turn solemn. He took the bottle of Return to the Sun Spirit Water and thanked him earnestly.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, rest assured,¡± Zhou Shengqing replied. ¡°The day I leave seclusion will be the day the Divine Wood Sect overwhelms the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue exchanged a smile, then together they sealed off Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo to ensure no one would disturb his transformation into an Embodiment Nascent Soul.


    ¡°It should take about two or three years. During this period, we will try not to initiate any conflicts and hope that others will not provoke us either,¡± said Fu Zongjue with a sigh. Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    What followed was a period of calm vigilance. They only had to wait for Zhou Shengqing to congeal his Embodiment Nascent Soul and leave seclusion; then the situation in the whole Eastern Wilderness could no longer be overturned.


    Of course, the reason given to those below was that the sect needed to recuperate and gain strength after the annihilation of Liu Jia Mountain. The primary objectives would now be the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau and the management of the Sand Sea.


    Fu Zongjue positioned his strongest Purple Sun Puppet in front of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s quarters to ensure secrecy. They did not even notify Mo Douguang.


    Chen Mobai left seclusion as planned and began to handle the affairs of the sect.


    However, after his guidance, Yue Zutao and others were all exceptionally dedicated, and since his word was law within the sect, these trivial matters hardly tied up his time anymore.


    Chen Mobai paid special attention to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Based on the annual reports from the various countries¡¯ Town Guards, he knew that the progress on the Mo River, within Sky Country, was slightly behind due to a shortage of manpower. Moreover, the water flow from Yun Meng Ze was so violent that there was significant soil erosion along the riverbanks, causing soil fertility to decline.


    Furthermore, without meticulous attention, demonic beasts from Yun Meng Ze could enter via the river, greatly distracting Luo Xue¡¯er and Zhou Wangshen.


    These issues largely stemmed from inexperience, as carving such a vast river channel was unprecedented in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    With Zhou Wangshen¡¯s assistance, Luo Xue¡¯er had been steadily making amends. Zhuo Ming and others also went to help, discussing and finding solutions based on the actual problems encountered.


    Compared to the Mo River, the White River had a smoother progress, especially with Luo Yixuan, a hidden Core Formation expert at their disposal. When cultivators encountered obstacles they couldn¡¯t overcome, she could secretly use her External Incarnation to allow Elder Ming to wield the Moonlight Blade and carve through the mountains.


    And, as for protecting against soil erosion, with the assistance of Zhuo Ming, the number one Spirit Plant Master of the Divine Wood Sect, and Yin Qingmei, who cultivated the Upstart Growth Technique, their work in tree planting and soil stabilization was done exceptionally well.


    Now, a fifth of White River¡¯s planned irrigation routes has been completed.


    This is with the understanding that there was no practical experience in the early stages and they were progressing by trial and error. For the remaining four-fifths, Zhuo Ming is confident that it can all be finished within six years.


    In the Eastern Desolation Plateau regions that White River irrigates, Qingluo Grass, as tall as a person, grows abundantly. With ample forage available, species such as local bred gazelles and yaks, under the herding of Spirit Beast Department¡¯s disciples, have begun to breed and thrive in groups.


    Although these cattle and sheep are merely Rank-1 Spirit Beasts, every part of them can be sold. Leather can be made into Taoist robes, boots, and so forth, while the meat, rich in Elemental Energy, is sold together with Spirit Rice to the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness and is favored by those practicing Body Cultivation.


    Last year alone, Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Beast husbandry in Rock Country generated an income of a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    These, compared to the grand scheme of the sect, are but a drop in the bucket and hardly worth mentioning. But Chen Mobai envisioned a vast future.


    Once the White River is fully tapped and irrigates the entirety of Rock Country, and these pastoral industries expand to a much larger scale, they could easily increase by tenfold.


    And the Eastern Desolation Plateau consists of much more than just Rock Country.


    Apart from cattle and sheep, what¡¯s even more precious are those Spirit Fields irrigated with Snow Mountain Water.


    Farming is Zhuo Ming¡¯s old line of work. In just two and a half years, she led disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and the Longevity Academy to cultivate ten thousand mu of Rank-1 Spirit Fields.


    All of these are planted with Fire Spirit Rice, the easiest crop to survive and one that thrives in the high plateau climate and environment.


    This ten-thousand-acre Fire Spirit Rice yields two harvests a year, each year bringing in three million catties. If all were sold, that would mean an income of three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    If the thirty million acres of spirit fields in the Eastern Desolation Plateau were all developed, just by planting this Fire Spirit Rice, the Divine Wood Sect could reap crops valued at nine hundred million Spirit Stones annually.


    Within the sect, far-sighted cultivators like Yue Zutao had already seen the terrifying potential in the first report on the Spirit Rice income after the complete development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Thus, since the middle of last year, cultivators from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions within Giant Tree Ridge had started undertaking the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau more frequently and actively.


    The disciples from the Spirit Beast Department went to graze animals, those from the Spirit Vein and Spirit Plant Department worked the fields, planting Spirit Rice or medicinal herbs, the Puppet Division¡¯s disciples manufactured and repaired puppet farm machinery, while the Body Forging cultivators moved crops¡­


    Even those who had no particular skills, who only knew spells, could accept tasks and live in thatched huts in the spirit fields to cultivate while guarding the spirit plants, preventing birds from the sky and pests from the ground from destroying the crops.


    The reason for such enthusiasm was because, in addition to the Spirit Stones issued by the sect, Zhuo Ming had also implemented a policy of supplementing every disciple with Fire Spirit Rice every day.


    The amount depended on their cultivation level: Qi Cultivation early-stage disciples received one catty per day, mid-stage received two catties, and late-stage received three catties.


    Last year, when Chen Mobai was at the Immortal Gate waiting for the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples experienced the happiness of eating Spirit Rice with an open heart for the first time!


    Although the sect also distributed it monthly in the past, they had to eat frugally, even mixing it with some regular rice to cook, unlike now, where as long as you come to Rock Country, you can eat to your heart¡¯s content, eat until you¡¯re stuffed.


    At first, it was only in Rock Country, but it attracted strong protests from Luo Xue¡¯er and Zhou Wangshen because all the active forces within the sect were drawn to Rock Country, which made the progress at Mo River in Sky Country seem severely delayed by comparison.


    If it were Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei handling the situation, they naturally would have ignored it, but Zhuo Ming, kindhearted and having been influenced by Chen Mobai for a long time, not only supported Sky Country with some Fire Spirit Rice but also went to Sky Country to personally guide the cultivation of Spirit Fields and planting of Spirit Rice.


    Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish.


    Even so, the golden sign of Xiao Nanshan still had a greater attraction, and disciples of the Divine Wood Sect still preferred to choose tasks in Rock Country when accepting them.


    After knowing this, Chen Mobai also nodded in appreciation of Zhuo Ming¡¯s actions.


    Whether it was using Spirit Rice to subsidize and attract more disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau, to prevent the prices from plummeting after a large amount of Spirit Rice entered the market, or assisting Sky Country, those were choices he would have made.


    Indeed, he was a worthy successor, having inherited three parts of his breadth of vision and generosity.


    Originally planning to visit the Eastern Desolation Plateau after leaving his retreat, Chen Mobai was now completely at ease.


    The disciples who had once been under his protection were now capable of taking on great responsibilities.


    After handling the sect affairs, Chen Mobai visited Xiao Nanshan again.


    After all, without Zhuo Ming¡¯s care, he was still somewhat worried about the Spirit Plants such as the Immortal Peach Tree planted there.


    But in fact, he was overthinking it.


    The three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Spirit Plant Department treated Xiao Nanshan as a top priority and took good care of it. Although they lacked a Spirit Plant Master as remarkable as Zhuo Ming, quantity made up for quality.

    With dozens of disciples looking after them day and night, all the spirit plants were growing very well.


    Even the Enlightenment White Tea Tree successfully absorbed the essence of the Green Charm Spiritual Tree at the end of last year and upgraded to a Rank-2 superior grade.


    This was half a year faster than what Chen Mobai had anticipated.


    It might be due to the spirit vein in Xiao Nanshan upgrading to Rank-4.


    As Chen Mobai listened to the Tea Tree using the Echoes in the Void, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, got the news of his emergence from seclusion and came over with Song Huangdae.

 Chapter 1194 - Chapter 1194 Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer

    Chapter 1194: Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer Chapter 1194: Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer As the two approached, Liu Wenbo appeared relatively composed, but General Song Huang beside him was a picture of fear and unease, occasionally wiping away the sweat that beaded on his forehead with his sleeve.


    By the end of last year, General Song Huang had completed his task of guarding the Green Chan Tea Tree in Dragon Horn Trench and thereafter, in accordance with the plan, he became a nominal disciple in the Little Nan Mountain lineage under Liu Wenbo.


    However, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s slaying of Yan Fusheng in Rainbow Country and leading the Divine Wood Sect to annihilate Liu Jia Mountain, the undercover agents within the Divine Wood Sect suddenly went silent.


    Subsequently, General Song Huang¡¯s position within the Little Nan Mountain lineage became awkward.


    Without contact from the undercover agents, he had no value.


    The reason Liu Wenbo brought him here was precisely because of this issue.


    In his view, since he was of no use, it was better to just deal with him. After all, keeping him around was a risk.


    But since General Song Huang was a man given to him by Chen Mobai, he wanted to consult his master before taking any action.


    Though Liu Wenbo did not express these thoughts outright, General Song Huang vaguely sensed them. However, as a mere Qi Practitioner under the watch of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, he had no chance of escape.


    Besides, even if he managed to flee from Liu Wenbo¡¯s grasp, where could he go?


    Now that half of the Eastern Wilderness was under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s dominion and the Little Nan Mountain Shop had branches in nineteen countries, capturing a minor Qi Practitioner like him would be effortless.


    Being brought before the foremost figure of the Eastern Desolation now, General Song Huang grew even more nervous and agitated.


    In his heart, he was even beginning to feel a sense of despair, wondering if this day next year would be marking his death anniversary.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve taken him as a disciple, then train him well. Where a person comes from is not their choice, but what kind of person they become is determined by their own will.¡±


    Just when General Song Huang closed his eyes, preparing to face death with a resigned expression, he heard the most profound words he would remember in his life.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo always revered Chen Mobai as a deity. Hearing this command, he immediately nodded in respectful agreement.


    General Song Huang¡¯s eyes snapped open, and as he looked at Chen Mobai, who was just a short distance away, tending to the tea plants, his heart was filled with an emotion he had never felt before.


    This sentiment was incredibly warm yet carried a hint of coolness.


    It was like plunging into a clear spring, washing away the dust of the world, and then lying unfettered on a large rock, basking in the soothing sunlight.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    General Song Huang wiped the sweat from his forehead and paid a deep bow to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°It is Ancestor Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo immediately corrected him, and upon seeing that Chen Mobai had no reaction, General Song Huang swiftly changed his address to Ancestor Master.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I remember that you¡¯re cultivating the Void Law Body, right?¡±


    General Song Huang: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Recite the mantra of your Void Law Body for me.¡±


    General Song Huang hesitated, and Chen Mobai knew that when he had received this Body Forging Technique from the Restoration Society, he must have made a vow not to reveal it, based on his Dao Heart.


    As expected, this was the case when he asked.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°I will give you the Void Law Body that I acquired when annihilating Shake Mountain Peak. Compare it with your own and see if there are any differences. This shouldn¡¯t violate your Dao Heart vow, right?¡±


    General Song Huang nodded repeatedly, indicating there were no such restrictions.


    Liu Wenbo, holding Chen Mobai¡¯s order, quickly fetched the book of the Void Law Body from the Book Pavilion.


    General Song Huang carefully read through the Rank-1 Qi Cultivation section and, knowing the rules, did not proceed further. He nodded to indicate that the content was the same, in fact, even more detailed than what he had received from the Restoration Society.


    Chen Mobai also had some interest in the Void Law Body; after all, if one could master it, it allowed a Foundation Establishment Practitioner to perform movements similar to ¡°Void Walking¡±, which was very suitable for consolidating his persona of holding the Qualification of Deification at the Immortal Gate.


    However, since it was acquired from Shake Mountain Peak, he definitely wouldn¡¯t rashly start cultivating it.


    General Song Huang, who had presented himself at his doorstep, now provided an ideal opportunity.


    ¡°This copy of the Void Law Body was a remnant obtained by the sect after annihilating Shake Mountain Peak. Then it was compiled with parts from my battles, capable of cultivation up to Perfect Core Formation. Since you have entered the Little Nan Mountain lineage, I shall bestow the full text of this Body Forging Technique to you.¡±


    Upon hearing that he had just officially become a disciple and was awarded the complete text of the top Body Forging Technique in the Eastern Desolation, General Song Huang was so moved that he trembled with excitement.


    If only he had known sooner, he would have switched allegiances back in Rock Country.


    Such treatment was never given at the Restoration Society.

    Indeed, the Divine Wood Sect was worthy of being the sun of the Eastern Wilderness, the leading sect that illuminates all.


    At this moment, General Song Huang fully regarded himself as a member of the Little Nan Mountain lineage, and he swore in his heart that he would become a noble and great individual like Ancestor Chen!


    After this matter was settled, Liu Wenbo proceeded to report on the profits of the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    Last year, the puppet factory of the Divine Wood Sect was completed. Utilizing the secondhand equipment Chen Mobai had brought back from the Immortal Gate, they were now able to produce an additional four million Rank-1 Talisman Paper annually. This meant that the Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s revenue from just Talisman Paper could reach one million Spirit Stones.


    Since Chen Mobai had been away at the Immortal Gate all of last year, Liu Wenbo followed the earlier instructions and had exchanged these Spirit Stones for various Spirit Plant saplings to support Zhuo Ming, his junior sister, in her monumental task of transforming the Eastern Desolation Plateau.

 Chapter 1195 - Chapter 1195 Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer_2

    Chapter 1195: Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer_2 Chapter 1195: Chapter 657 Golden Core Fourth Layer_2 ¡°`


    Aside from saplings, there were expenses for forging and purchasing all kinds of cultivation spiritual tools and placing custom orders with the Puppet Division for the large puppet farming machines designed by Chen Mobai, among other expenditures.


    Liu Wenbo only reserved the basic spirit stones necessary to maintain the operation of Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s branches across the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness; he invested the rest according to his judgment in equipment and materials, which he sent to Rock Country.


    For this, Chen Mobai gave him high praise.


    He said that Liu Wenbo had lived up to his responsibilities and stature as the second-generation eldest apprentice brother of Little Nan Mountain.


    ¡°Master is overpraising. I merely followed your instructions,¡± Liu Wenbo humbly replied. He then mentioned that Zhuo Ming had given him the additional spirit rice and spirit meat from the Eastern Desolation Plateau to sell to countries beyond the plateau.


    However, since the production of spirit rice had increased, and it was the first time Little Nan Mountain Shop was selling spirit meat, the earnings were not very good.


    Last year, the income from this aspect was only around two hundred thousand spirit stones.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai simply instructed Liu Wenbo to persist in selling, and to get all kinds of specialties from above the Eastern Desolation Plateau onto the shelves of Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    In the early stage, he should not think about making spirit stones but first open and capture the market.


    After Chen Mobai decided that the main goal for the next ten years for Little Nan Mountain Shop was to supply Zhuo Ming¡¯s development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, and only the secondary goal was to earn spirit stones, Liu Wenbo had a clear focus, and he descended the mountain with Song Huangdae.


    Time quickly passed, and another year had gone by.


    Since the majority of the Legal Body Nascent Soul¡¯s power was transformed from Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul transformation lacked remarkable spectacle.


    Even when occasional intense fluctuations of spiritual energy occurred within the Longevity Wood Dojo, everyone simply assumed it was Chen Mobai or Fu Zongjue practicing some powerful technique.


    Throughout this year, with the help of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai once again collected a complete set of materials for a furnace of Golden Crow Sun-swallowing Elixirs.


    This time, his refining was much smoother than before. He produced seven pills, and the toxicity of each was below 1%.


    Thanks to the effects of the Golden Crow Sun-swallowing Elixir, his cultivation level also showed signs of another breakthrough.


    On this day, at the peak of Danxia Mountain, beneath the Biyu Wutong, an immensely powerful surge of spiritual power rose to the sky, like a splendid pillar, purifying the clouds into clear blue!


    The superior spiritual qi of fourth grade was ceaselessly captured and extracted by the strong divine sense, turning into strands of crimson spiritual light, being refined by Chen Mobai, who was sitting under the Biyu Wutong.


    Although the spirit vein of Danxia Mountain was that of a fire vein, it also mixed with elements of the earth vein, so Chen Mobai had to exclude the earth vein¡¯s spiritual energy during refining and solely extract the fire vein¡¯s spiritual energy.


    This demonstrated the advantage of spirit stones over spirit vein qi.


    Spirit stones contain pure spiritual energy that can be refined and converted into any attribute of spiritual power without hindrance, but spirit vein qi has an attribute, which requires compatibility with the cultivator¡¯s technique.


    If it weren¡¯t for the need to maintain a facade at the Immortal Gate, creating some momentum and defending his reputation as a genius, Chen Mobai would have simply used a pile of top-grade spirit stones to succeed in the breakthrough long ago.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first attempt at a normal pathway breakthrough without the aid of external objects at the Immortal Gate.


    He found it to be even harder than he imagined.


    For someone accustomed to smooth sailing, this was somewhat hard to accept.


    The breakthrough phenomenon lasted an entire two months, and Chen Mobai felt that the speed at which he was refining the fire vein¡¯s spiritual energy had reached a limit. Continuing at this rate, he wouldn¡¯t be able to accumulate enough Pure Yang spiritual power to break through to the fourth layer of the Golden Core.


    This indicated that his foundation was not solid enough, and the accumulated spiritual power was insufficient, requiring further accumulation and settling.


    If he were to act on the mature experience of the Immortal Gate, he should naturally disperse the gathered majestic spiritual energy and halt the breakthrough, waiting for the next opportunity to try again.


    But that¡¯s what ordinary people would do.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t openly display the signs of his breakthrough on Danxia Mountain only to let his reputation collapse.


    He looked down at three items beside him.


    First was a Spirit Gathering Array made up of top-grade spirit stones.


    Second was the Pure Yang Purple Qi condensed within the Spirit Sealing Tube, a result of Yin Qingmei¡¯s constant guidance of the Haotian Mirror.


    ¡°`


    The third was a blood-red elixir, the Blood Spirit Pill that had once propelled Fu Zongjue to his breakthrough into the Mid Golden Core Stage.


    With any one of these three items at his disposal, Chen Mobai was confident he could break through directly to the Golden Core Fourth Layer.


    However, the top-grade Spirit Stone was his last resort. Chen Mobai intended to pretend that he was advancing with the aid of the spiritual vein qi of Danxia Mountain. He would only use it if something unexpected happened and he couldn¡¯t break through despite utilizing the other two items.


    After some contemplation, Chen Mobai reached out and ingested the Blood Spirit Pill without hesitation.


    Such a Barrier-breaking Elixir from the Tianhe Realm was most useful in advancing from the Early Golden Core Stage to the Mid Golden Core Stage. Moreover, he had two pills. If he didn¡¯t use them now, they would become useless in the future.


    The Pure Yang Purple Qi could be useful even for Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll at the Nascent Soul Realm, so it would be better to save it if possible.


    Chen Mobai had long since learnt about the method and experience of consuming the Blood Spirit Pill from Fu Zongjue, so he refined it into his body with ease.


    Once the Flame Lighting Technique was activated, he felt his Essence, Qi, and Spirit surge by half. His Divine Sense and his body, which had already reached their limits, suddenly drew in a great gulp of the spirit vein qi that floated in the void all around him.


    Caught off-guard, he even refined some of the earth vein spiritual power into his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    But at this critical moment of breakthrough, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have time to worry about these things. He could only rely on the violent surge of power from the Blood Spirit Pill to ferociously assault the bottleneck of the Golden Core Fourth Layer.


    It could be said that the potency of Elixirs from the Tianhe Realm far exceeded those from the Immortal Gates.


    Seven days later, Chen Mobai felt the Pure Yang Spiritual Power that had been just two or three breaths away from its limit suddenly burst through the boundary of his Dantian Qi Sea.


    What followed was a freedom like the vast sea for fish to leap at will, the high sky where birds may soar!


    The Dantian Qi Sea that seemed unable to accumulate and refine even the smallest bit of energy expanded by one-third of its range!


    In the Void, faint silvery glows twinkled, similar to the moonlight, like gauze or mist, descending into Chen Mobai¡¯s Golden Core Domain.


    Under the influx of the endless power of the Void, a vast space of exactly 1280 cubic units roiled into form, manifesting within Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    At the center of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the Biyu Wutong upon which the phoenix phantom perched became even more solid and expansive. In a hazy glimpse, Chen Mobai saw the phoenix¡¯s feathers dancing, with even more colorful auspicious qi falling into its surroundings.


    It seemed like he had received more of the Auspicious Blessing.


    However, these could not be verified for the time being. Chen Mobai set them aside for the moment and began to explore his newly enhanced Pure Yang Spiritual Power after breaking through to the Golden Core Fourth Layer.


    Compared to the extremely pure Pure Yang Spiritual Power he had before the breakthrough, this time it contained a strand of earthy yellow spiritual light.


    This was a drawback from forcing a breakthrough without stable foundations, unable to control the result even with the help of the Blood Spirit Pill.


    He had refined and boosted the earth and fire spiritual power from the spirit veins of Danxia Mountain into Pure Yang Spiritual Power, and although successful, it had left troubles in its wake.


    But for cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, this was a minor issue, since they had the Flame Lighting Technique to purify and anneal it.


    Generally speaking, Pure Yang cultivators from the Immortal Gates would not force breakthroughs as Chen Mobai did, relying on the Flame Lighting Technique.


    Because the time required to purify using the Flame Lighting Technique might be about the same as that spent on consolidating one¡¯s foundation before attempting a realm breakthrough.


    Moreover, there was a risk of failure with such forced breakthroughs.


    But Chen Mobai was an advocate of the Sect of Realms; since he was capable of making a breakthrough and the conditions were in his favor, he would naturally not delay any longer.


    At least he was now at the Golden Core Fourth Layer. Although his spiritual power had some impurities, it did not affect his combat ability.


    As the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect who often needed to take action to maintain order, especially during the critical moment when Zhou Shengqing was on the verge of Nascent Soul Formation success, he felt it necessary to act this way.

    Originally, he estimated that it would take him eight years to achieve this breakthrough, but now he had succeeded three years ahead of schedule.


    Aside from the potent effects of the Blood Spirit Pill, this was also due to his annual consumption of the Golden Crow Holding the Sun Pills.


    A clear comparison could be seen with Chen Mobai¡¯s Daoist Academy mentor, True Person Shao Yang, who had spent a staggering fifteen years to break through from the Golden Core Third Layer to the Fourth Layer.


    Of course, besides the practice of Pure Yang Spiritual Power, this was because he needed to bring the Seven Yang body to Perfection before it was possible to make the breakthrough, a restrictive condition that held him back.


    Later, when True Person Shao Yang calculated his remaining lifespan and compared it against his actual progress while cultivating the Eight Yang body, he became so desperate that he switched to practicing the Scorching Heaven Cultivation Technique.

 Chapter 1196 - Chapter 1196 Chapter 658 The Return of an Old Friend

    Chapter 1196: Chapter 658: The Return of an Old Friend Chapter 1196: Chapter 658: The Return of an Old Friend It had been fifteen years since he reached Core Formation, and Chen Mobai had cultivated to the fourth layer of Gold Core!


    Even in the entire history of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai was second only to the likes of the Yuanyang Ancestor and a handful of other notable figures.


    After the breakthrough was successful, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t suppress the joy in his heart.


    He let out a long howl towards the heavens, stirring the nature¡¯s spiritual energy at the Top of Danxia Mountain, sounding like thunderous roars, echoing through the academy below in an instant.


    Before long, the entire Red Sandstone City knew that Councilor Chen had achieved a breakthrough in his realm.


    But after everyone heard the news, they just took it for granted.


    After all, this was the Qualification of Deification, the uncontested number one in talent since this era of the Immortal Gate began.


    A successful breakthrough was the norm; had he failed, that would have been big news.


    This made Chen Mobai somewhat displeased.


    He had worked so hard to consume elixirs for the breakthrough, hoping to create a stir within the Immortal Gate, reaffirming his reputation as one with the Qualification of Deification, and once again satisfy his small vain pride by showing off in front of friends and family!


    But even his own parents, after hearing the news, only acknowledged with an ¡°oh¡± in the family chat group, to indicate they knew.


    Not to mention friends like Ming Yuhua, who didn¡¯t even call.


    It was the female friends like Qing Nu who were considerate, all sending their congratulations first thing.


    After contacting each of them, Chen Mobai suddenly felt quite uninterested.


    Next, it would probably only be when he reached ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± that he would once again cause a huge stir in the Immortal Gate.


    But the Nascent Soul Formation stage, even with half the resources of the Eastern Wilderness at his disposal, felt somewhat difficult.


    Chen Mobai thought it was time to add the cultivation of Primordial Dao Fruit to his list of goals.


    He hung up the phone with Wen Ren Xuewei and took out the Earth Veins Elixirs he had refined.


    There were twenty-one in total.


    Among them, three were immature products from his initial attempts at refining, with poison content exceeding 1%, which he considered Waste Pills in his eyes.


    But he didn¡¯t destroy them directly, considering that even in the Eastern Wilderness, they would still be regarded as having good quality.


    Besides those three, the remaining eighteen were all products of his mature skills.


    The poison in all of them was controlled within 1%, and there were even two pills that were nearly poison-free, meeting the standards even within the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai himself selected the nine of the highest quality and placed the other nine in a box, preparing to give them to his disciple Zhuo Ming in the future.


    Speaking of which, Zhuo Ming had been fortunate in recent years, opening up canals in Rock Country and had found three strands of Qi of Creation.


    Although Chen Mobai was disinclined to move, upon hearing this news, he still personally went to the Gao Huang Plateau, assisting Zhuo Ming with the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to extract them.


    It turned out that Chen Mobai¡¯s guess was correct.


    When refining the fourth strand of Qi of Creation, the effect on enhancing his Earth Spirit Root had already reached its peak.


    Zhuo Ming, with the aid of Chen Mobai, refined these three strands but could not increase even 1 point of her Earth Spirit Root.


    When Chen Mobai refined the fourth strand, his Earth Spirit Root only increased by 2 points, which was a meager gain at best.


    With the change in his Spirit Root, he naturally didn¡¯t forget to visit the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    This time, he obtained a Grand Water Attribute Spell called Water Escape, which once mastered, would allow one to travel freely in and out of any place with water.


    But Chen Mobai was unable to cultivate it and could only seal it away, to see if there would be a chance in the future to pass it on to a disciple with a Water Spiritual Body.


    After the Qi of Creation proved no longer effective for his Earth Spirit Root, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask for more from Zhuo Ming, allowing her to refine the rest.


    Looking at the nine finest Earth Veins Elixirs in his hand, Chen Mobai took one and consumed it.


    Half a day later, he looked at the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his palm.


    Earth Spirit Root 45.


    This number caused the corners of his mouth to turn upward unconsciously.


    It was probably because he had made progress in the first layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, benefiting from its auspicious powers; he directly added a maximum of 5 points to his Earth Spirit Root, off to a flying start.


    Chen Mobai immediately went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm and obtained another Grand Spell.


    This time it was the Earth Escape Technique, which could be used by Zhuo Ming.


    After coming out, he was about to consume another Earth Veins Elixir.


    But he felt a message from his Longevity Dao Body.


    The poison had already accumulated quite a bit, and if he consumed another elixir now, he might not be able to neutralize it in time, which could cause permanent damage to his body.


    This was mainly because the Blood Spirit Pill he had taken earlier contained a bit too much poison.


    Although the Flame Lighting Technique could neutralize the poison, after his breakthrough, the primary purpose of the Flame Lighting Technique was to purify Pure Yang Spiritual Power, which would probably take a year or two.


    And he still needed to take the Golden Crow Pill every year, which would leave the Flame Lighting Technique somewhat overwhelmed.


    This spell from the Pure Yang Scroll, mainly for purifying and tempering Essence, Qi, and Spirit, was being used by Chen Mobai to neutralize poison, which was an underutilization of its capabilities.


    Fortunately, he had Green Charm Spiritual Tea obtained from Back to Sky Valley; otherwise, Chen Mobai would not dare to consume elixirs so recklessly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this Green Charm Spiritual Tea was only of Rank-3 quality. Once Chen Mobai started taking Rank-4 elixirs in the future, the tea¡¯s effectiveness in neutralizing poison would be minimal.


    If he had to rely solely on the Flame Lighting Technique then, Chen Mobai would have to be much more cautious about consuming elixirs.


    But there was a solution to this as well.


    The Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram had a total of seven layers. Apart from the first layer, ¡°Phoenix Perched on Chinese Parasol Tree,¡± which laid the foundation, the remaining six layers were separately known as: Quality of Food, Drink has Ceremony, Heavenly Blessing, Response Earth Spirit, Law of the Five Tones, and Nine Virtues Introspection!


    Among these, the second layer ¡°Quality of Food,¡± once mastered, would bestow yet another innate talent of the Phoenix.

 Chapter 1197 - Chapter 1197 Chapter 658 The Return of an Old Friend_2

    Chapter 1197: Chapter 658: The Return of an Old Friend_2 Chapter 1197: Chapter 658: The Return of an Old Friend_2 ¡°`


    The concept of ¡°Quality of Food¡± refers to ingesting and refining only substances that are beneficial to oneself.


    That is to say, when consuming elixirs tainted with elixir-poison, one would only refine the medicinal effects and expel the toxin with their breath.


    Besides elixirs, this also applies to various types of Spiritual Rice and Meat, and so on, which, though cultivated using nature¡¯s spiritual energy, contain some impurities and sediment to a greater or lesser extent.


    Over time, as these impurities accumulate, they could erupt as one ages, affecting a cultivator¡¯s body and lifespan, among other things.


    But with the enhancement of ¡°Quality of Food,¡± there¡¯s no need to worry about such issues anymore. Chen Mobai, even if he consumed highly toxic substances, would only absorb the beneficial components and expel the toxins.


    To describe this talent in another word, it would be ¡°Immune to All Poisons!¡±


    However, the cultivation of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram is indeed slow. Even with the help of the Biyu Wutong, although Chen Mobai¡¯s speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, it is feared that he would need to reach the Jindan Sixth Layer to cultivate ¡°Quality of Food¡± and become immune to all poisons!


    Chen Mobai is even considering whether or not to use the Devour God Technique of the Path of Heaven to quickly cultivate the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram!


    After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, he possesses the Fourth-Rank Everlife Wood, which provides him with an unparalleled condition to practice this Forbidden Technique.


    But upon further consideration, he feels it¡¯s better not to take this risk.


    If his Practice Forbidden Technique were to be exposed within the Immortal Gate, the image he has built up over many years would collapse. People would think that his achievements were only due to the reliance on Forbidden Techniques.


    It¡¯s better to wait until there¡¯s really no other way to succeed before considering it.


    Chen Mobai gave himself a bottom line.


    Half a month later.


    Having stabilized his realm, Chen Mobai went down the mountain to visit Yan Bingxuan at the Mysterious Frost Company.


    This company has now become somewhat famous within the Immortal Gate.


    Because Chen Mobai invested all the Spirit Stones from the Void Blind Box he opened into Mysterious Frost Company.


    Thirty intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, plus three hundred and twenty-seven lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    These just in their most basic value, amount to 33,327,000 Good Deed Points, which could buy the company outright if that were converted into investment.


    Moreover, Spirit Stones are a scarce resource in the Immortal Gate.


    Ren Xuewei, with the backing of the Jumang Academy, was only able to secure five intermediate-grade Spirit Stones for her Evil Qi Energy Company located in the Linwu Cave Haven.


    Yan Bingxuan transformed all these Spirit Stones into the rechargeable type.


    Then she placed another order with Chai Lun to make more puppets. Now with enough Spirit Stones, her company¡¯s scale and amount of Five Elements Essence concentration could surge by six or seven times.


    In addition to equipment upgrades, in recent years, the Yuanqi courses offered by the three institutes of Dan Zhu, Chixia, and Qingsang, though lacking top-notch talents, have educated a group of useful workers.


    Yan Bingxuan, the nominal head of the Yuanqi department of these three institutes, guided these students who often interned at Mysterious Frost Company during their studies, applying what they learned to practice.


    In return, she compensated the students with Good Deed Points at market rates without shortchanging them.


    With sufficient equipment and manpower, Mysterious Frost Company¡¯s profit surged fivefold last year, reaching 5 million Good Deed Points.


    It vaulted to becoming the second-largest taxpayer in Red Sandstone City, right after the Puppet Factory.


    In third place was Chen Mobai¡¯s Flying Talisman Factory, with an annual profit of over 2 million Good Deed Points.


    The main reason for this is the scarcity of technical talent.


    While his sister Wang Xinying, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, is in charge, her talent in talismans is mediocre, and she has not yet acquired the Third-Rank Talisman Maker title.


    Furthermore, with the passage of time, the core technical staff of Flying Talisman Factory who were over eighty years old all retired, leading to a gap in skilled personnel.


    If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, and the hiring of some outstanding Talisman graduates from the three institutes, alongside the introduction of three different Rank-2 Talisman Papers and Talisman Inks into the market, the Flying Talisman Factory might have already begun to incur losses.


    Over the years, the only noteworthy accomplishment of Flying Talisman Factory has been its collaboration with the Yan family to restore the Third-Rank Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman.


    But even these products are only deemed of decent quality, only becoming hotly coveted items within the Immortal Gate once they¡¯re crafted into the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    ¡°`


    However, as the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman is a talisman without a specific grade, its difficulty is no less than that of a Third Rank Superior Grade talisman. Previously, an ancestor of the Yan family and another Fourth-Rank Talisman Master had to work together to successfully draw it.


    Chen Mobai felt that even if he learned how to draw it using the Enlightenment Tea, it would still be difficult to succeed without assistance, so he did not waste the precious leaves.


    Just as he was thinking this, two old friends who he hadn¡¯t expected paid him a visit.


    ¡°Greetings, Councilor Chen!¡±


    A man and a woman approached Chen Mobai, who was seated under the Biyu Wutong tree on Danxia Mountain, and immediately came over to greet him.


    The man was tall and burly with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the woman had a graceful appearance and a beautiful figure. Both were Chen Mobai¡¯s good friends from his days at the Cinnabarite Institute.


    Luan Jingsheng and Chansi.


    ¡°It¡¯s been more than thirty years since we last met. Seeing you both return from Foundation Establishment fills me with joy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up with unmistakable happiness upon seeing the two who had returned from military service, and he joyfully brought out a jar of fine wine after a long time.


    ¡°I originally planned to continue serving in the Military Department to see if I could obtain Gold Core Spiritual Material, but after several assessments, I was eliminated,¡±


    Luan Jingsheng spoke of his regrets. He had failed at Foundation Establishment during his time at the Cinnabarite Institute and chose to serve in the military. Unexpectedly, he was fortunate to take a transformative step amidst the intense crucible of the Military Department.


    The same was true for Chansi.


    Unfortunately, the competition within the Military Department was even more fierce and brutal than within the Immortal Gate. After staying for over twenty years and feeling that there was no hope left, they both chose to retire.


    ¡°What are your plans next? Are you going to pursue the opportunity to create a Five Elements Golden Core Pill in the big cities, or are you thinking of taking a civil service exam?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Those who retire from the Military Department gain certain advantages when taking civil service exams, and their service time is also counted as work experience, encouraging Cultivators from the Immortal Gates to serve in the military.


    ¡°I will send my resume to the four major talisman factories and see if I can join one, like Wu Shangru. Meanwhile, I will also prepare for the civil service exam,¡±


    Luan Jingsheng shared his plans. He was only in his sixties and believed that as long as he kept progressing in his cultivation, he might have a chance to attempt Core Formation.


    So he wasn¡¯t giving up just yet.


    Upon hearing this, Chansi shook her head and said, ¡°I plan to find a job to support myself and pursue cultivation while preparing for the civil service exam. I don¡¯t want to struggle in the big cities.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, how about joining my Flying Talisman Factory?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately extended an invitation after hearing this.


    With Chansi¡¯s skills in talisman-making at Rank-2 and her foundation in cultivation, her joining would undoubtedly be a huge boost to the Flying Talisman Factory.


    ¡°How could I refuse if Councilor Chen personally extends the invitation?¡±


    After hearing this, Chansi smiled slightly and agreed without hesitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity Luan is heading elsewhere. If I had both of you join, I could start a new production line for Rank-3 talisman papers and inks, making the Flying Talisman Factory the biggest and strongest,¡±


    Luan Jingsheng hesitated upon hearing this, but looking at the young man in front of him, who was even younger yet already at the Golden Core Fourth Layer, he felt a surge of enthusiasm and resolutely decided to try his luck in the big city.


    Chen Mobai could only express his regret.


    The three of them drank a large jar of wine that night, and Chen Mobai even invited Shen Juanxiu to join them. She, soon to be a grandmother, burst into tears when she saw her friend Chansi, whom she hadn¡¯t seen in over thirty years.


    Once the wine had worn off, Luan Jingsheng bid his farewell and prepared to leave.


    Chen Mobai personally escorted him down the mountain.

    Up on the mountain!


    Cradling her inebriated best friend, Chansi, who, after Chen Mobai had left, suddenly opened her eyes that showed not a trace of drunkenness. She gently laid Shen Juanxiu down and walked over to the Biyu Wutong tree.


    ¡°Who would have thought I¡¯d have the day to come back!¡±


    Chansi¡¯s gaze suddenly turned very strange. She reached out to touch the bark of the Spirit Plant, speaking in an indifferent tone, murmuring to herself.


    And the moment her hands made contact, the Biyu Wutong tree, which had always been tranquil, began to tremble ever so slightly.

 Chapter 1198 - Chapter 1198 659 Chapter Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead

    Chapter 1198: 659 Chapter Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead Chapter 1198: 659 Chapter Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead As time passed, Chen Mobai noticed that people he knew were gradually aging and dwindling.


    Luan Jingsheng and Chansi¡¯s return from Foundation Establishment brought him a long-missed joy.


    At least, after they had established their foundations, for the nearly two hundred years to come, whenever Chen Mobai thought of them, he would have two more friends with whom he could converse.


    Although the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram was still at the first level, Chen Mobai truly felt that the auspicious Qi blessing him seemed richer than before.


    Right after the return of his two old friends, another piece of good news arrived.


    Elder Yuanxu called him to say that his Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead was ready, asking whether he wanted it delivered, or if he would rather pick it up himself.


    Even though logistics within the Immortal Gate were reliable, this Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead was too important to Chen Mobai, who thus decided to personally make the trip to Xixuan Dongtian.


    He was also curious about how far the Daoist Academy had progressed in their research on the Legal Body Nascent Soul, and with a pass from Elder Yuanxu, he rushed there overnight.


    ¡°The cultivation principle of the Asura Dharma Aspect has essentially been completely researched; we now just need to find a substitute for the Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    After receiving the Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead from Elder Yuanxu, Chen Mobai asked about the progress, and the latter, without any concealment, directly informed him about the current stage of research.


    One can only say that a brain nearly at Divinity Transformation makes light work of understanding the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    ¡°There are so many with Golden Core Perfection in the Immortal Gate who must be very interested in this experiment,¡± Chen Mobai asked another sensitive question.


    Elder Yuanxu gave him a glance but continued with his work, simulating various spirit plants, trees, minerals, and jades of the Immortal Gate, to see which could replace the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    ¡°Although the Asura Dharma Aspect can also achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, my research has found that after such a breakthrough, all potential is lost, leaving no possibility of advancement.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, within the Immortal Gate, only those who truly have no hope of ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ would crave this method and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.¡±


    ¡°Your talent is so remarkable, a rarity in the world, you must not waste your future,¡± Elder Yuanxu, considering Chen Mobai part of the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy, rarely shared a few more words, fearing that with his peerless talent, Chen Mobai might actually cultivate the Asura Dharma Aspect using the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Dean,¡± Chen Mobai naturally understood this; after all, in the Tianhe Realm, though rare, there were quite a few records about the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    Seeing Elder Yuanxu busy with research, Chen Mobai decided not to disturb him anymore.


    He immediately took the Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead and returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Having upgraded his gear, Chen Mobai excitedly headed to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    With his cautious nature, he used a Formless Puppet once again to enter the longevity trial.


    The Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead proved its worth, as Chen Mobai then enhanced all the spells that could evoke a reaction from the Great Dao Tree to the Rank-4 level.


    Among them, he was most satisfied with the advancement of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to ¡°Illusory Thunder.¡±


    If he had a Rank-4 alchemist to help, he could even condense the ¡°Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.¡±


    Besides this technique, the Kindwood Mantra, Jia Wood Jue, One-Leaf Blindness, External Incarnation, Echoes in the Void, and others, were all also elevated to Rank-4.


    Of course, whilst the External Incarnation had also been empowered to understand the Heavenly Star Realm, unleashing its Rank-4 potential required a vast amount of Five Elements Essence to achieve the Heavenly Viscus, and Seventy-Two Earth Sha Qi to refine various apertures.


    Chen Mobai planned to try passing down the method of condensing the essence of the Five Elements in the Divine Wood Sect after Zhou Shengqing achieved the Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    Even if he hadn¡¯t understood the Primordial Dao Fruit by then, he could still enhance the External Incarnation¡¯s Heavenly Viscus Realm with the strength of the entire Divine Wood Sect Monks.


    Furthermore, the essence of the Five Elements can be accumulated indefinitely, and even artificially synthesized Earthly Fiendish Qi will need these in the future.


    The sooner he passed it down, the faster Chen Mobai¡¯s External Incarnation would reach completeness.


    And besides, what if he suddenly understood the Primordial Dao Fruit?


    After upgrading all his techniques to Rank-4, Chen Mobai had a sudden whim: could the Great Dao Tree empower one to Rank-5?


    The idea excited him.


    Rank-5 equated to a level on par with Divinity Transformation!


    If he had a Rank-5 technique, he reckoned even a Nascent Soul wouldn¡¯t dare face its sharpness head-on.


    But after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still refrained from acting on it.


    Because the Great Dao Tree itself was only at the Fourth Stage Pinnacle, he thought it probably couldn¡¯t empower one to comprehend Rank-5 techniques.


    Even if it were possible, he worried that his Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead couldn¡¯t withstand the pressure of a Rank-5 empowerment.


    Moreover, as someone still in the Golden Core Realm, he feared his heart and mind couldn¡¯t bear being empowered with a Rank-5 technique.

    After weighing the considerations, Chen Mobai prudently abandoned this bold notion that had suddenly emerged.


    Steps must be taken one at a time; things at Rank-5 could wait until after ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After leaving the Great Dao Tree, Chen Mobai went to check on the puppet factory he had set up in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Developing the resources of this secret realm had been an idea of his for a long time.


    Initially, his plan was to have every Foundation Establishment Practitioner in the Sect touch the Longevity Sect¡¯s three Divine Trees to see if they could speedily extract all hidden heavenly and earthly treasures and Cultivation Technique Manuals, enhancing the Sect¡¯s strength.

 Chapter 1199 - Chapter 1199 Chapter 659 Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead_2

    Chapter 1199: Chapter 659: Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead_2 Chapter 1199: Chapter 659: Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead_2 But after thinking it over carefully, as long as Zhou Shengqing completed his Nascent Soul Formation, the Divine Wood Sect could dominate the Eastern Wilderness, which essentially meant there would be no significant external pressures, so there was no need to rush things. Long-term development would be better.


    However, he had discussed with Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing that in the future, if a cultivator in the sect made a great contribution, they could be rewarded with the opportunity to interact with the three Divine Trees of the Longevity Sect as a reward for their merit.


    Regarding this matter, Chen Mobai had conducted a questionnaire survey and found that the members of the Divine Wood Sect were very enthusiastic about it, with some even suggesting they would be willing to exchange sect contributions for this opportunity.


    After all, more than two-thirds of the Foundation Establishment practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect had not succeeded with just one Foundation Building Pill, which indicated that they have the chance to gain good things from within the three Divine Trees.


    Moreover, there were rumors in the Divine Wood Sect that Sect Leader Chen had progressed so rapidly not only because of his exceptional talent but also because he obtained the Longevity Sect¡¯s heritage in the secret realm of the three Divine Trees.


    So after this rumor surfaced, many Foundation Establishment practitioners frequently visited the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to take on tasks, hoping to accumulate sect contributions. When the time came to implement this benefit, they could be the first to enjoy it.


    However, this matter involved various aspects, so Chen Mobai held off on it, planning to wait until the unification of the Eastern Wilderness and the revival of the abandoned projects before using a large number of tasks to get the sect¡¯s cultivators involved.


    Last year, when he started the puppet factory, he needed a group of Sect Disciples from the Puppet Division to come over, so he had Yi Shaoqing from the Formation Division set up a Large Formation around the locations of the Great Dao Tree, Talent Tree, and Magic Treasure Tree to prevent them from entering and encountering danger.


    Of course, the main reason was that Chen Mobai often anchored these three locations, using the Turtle Treasure to travel between two realms. Sealing off these areas could eliminate the risk of being discovered.


    Beyond these three locations in the Divine Tree Secret Realm lay an expansive forest.


    It was the source of materials for the production of talisman paper in the puppet factory.


    Besides the heavily protected Golden Sun Spirit Tree and Qingyang Spirit Tree, Li Yixian had almost finished cutting down the Red-sun Spirit Trees near the puppet factory this year.


    When Chen Mobai visited, he saw that the originally bare area had expanded in size.


    Considering the need for more Spirit Wood resources in the future, Chen Mobai also began to think about sustainable development.


    He posted a tree-planting task in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, allowing Disciples from the Spirit Plant Department to come in and replant seedlings in the cleared areas.


    Seeing rows of fresh green seedlings, he nodded in satisfaction.


    By his side was Sun Gaochang, the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department and one of Chen Mobai¡¯s friends.


    Chen Mobai tended to trust his own people, so he entrusted Sun Gaochang with the task of planting the trees.


    ¡°Sect Leader, we have discovered a total of six Golden Sun Spirit Trees and seventy-six Qingyang Spirit Trees within this secret realm. However, since most of the Spirit Vein Aura here is concentrated around the Longevity Wood, it might be better to transplant them to the Eastern Wilderness for continued growth,¡± Sun Gaochang reported.


    This past year, Sun Gaochang and the Disciples of the Spirit Plant Department did more than just plant trees in the secret realm.


    Their main task was to survey the Spirit Wood resources within the secret realm.


    ¡°Does Elder Sun mean to suggest transplanting them to Giant Tree Ridge?¡± Chen Mobai asked after hearing this, to which Sun Gaochang hesitated slightly but still shared his own opinion.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, Giant Tree Ridge is already sustaining quite a few Golden Sun Spirit Trees and Qingyang Spirit Trees. Along with the nearly ten thousand mu of Spirit Fields planted with Spirit Rice over the years, the carrying capacity of the Spirit Vein is almost at its limit. I believe it would be better to transplant them to a different courtyard or to directly make them into Tree Seeds,¡± explained Sun Gaochang.


    Giant Tree Ridge, despite being one of the most superior Rank-4 Spirit Veins of the Eastern Wilderness, had been under the guidance of Zhuo Ming for the past twenty or thirty years, with all the unused and deserted Spiritual Lands turned into Spirit Fields, pushing the usage of the Spirit Vein to its limit.


    As the supervisor of the Spirit Plant Department, Sun Gaochang was well aware of this situation.


    In Giant Tree Ridge, aside from the Longevity Wood, there were thirty-five Golden Sun Spirit Trees and four hundred ninety-eight Qingyang Spirit Trees, all of which required the support of Rank-2 and Rank-3 Spirit Veins. They also formed the foundation of the Sect¡¯s Array of Ten Thousand Woods, so the supply of Spirit Vein Qi had to be sufficient.


    However, due to the large-scale conversion of the scattered Spirit Veins into Spirit Fields over the years, some locations with Spirit Trees were beginning to lack Spiritual Energy.


    But this was an order from Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, and the Spirit Rice planted by the sect was distributed as a benefit to all Sect Members. Any deficiency would also cause dissatisfaction among his own department¡¯s Disciples. Therefore, although the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions discovered this issue, they dared not hinder it.


    They dare not mention this matter to Chen Mobai, so they could only consult with Yue Zutao and subsequently decided to reduce the scale of the medicinal fields in Giant Tree Ridge, fallback on cultivation and return the land to forest to ensure the supply of spiritual energy for all the Spirit Trees.


    Sun Gaochang knew that if the Golden Sun Spirit Tree and the Qingyang Spirit Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm were transplanted out, Giant Tree Ridge would have to redesign some Rank-3 and Rank-2 Spirit Veins. In that case, he estimated that the remaining medicinal fields would be almost completely gone, so he tactfully voiced his admonition.


    Chen Mobai was actually unaware of these matters. After hearing about it, he was very surprised and began to inquire further.


    ¡­


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about this earlier?¡±


    In Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai spoke with a displeased expression to Yue Zutao.


    Indeed, it was his command to plant Spirit Rice, intended to enhance the Qi and physical conditions of the entire Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples, but because he had been busy cultivating, he hadn¡¯t paid much attention to this matter afterward.


    Zhuo Ming was a straightforward disciple. Following Chen Mobai¡¯s orders, for twenty or thirty years after her Foundation Establishment, she tirelessly turned the entire ten thousand mu of idle barren land in Giant Tree Ridge into Spirit Fields for cultivating Spirit Rice.


    She was Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple and was acting on Chen Mobai¡¯s command, so who would dare to stop her?


    After Yue Zutao offered a wry smile and admitted his fault, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression eased slightly, and he began to reflect on himself, ¡°I can¡¯t entirely blame you for this, I, as the Sect Leader, also bear responsibility¡­¡±


    As he spoke, he had the people from the Spirit Vein Division bring over the model map of the entire Giant Tree Ridge. Then, looking over the Spirit Fields scattered across Giant Tree Ridge, he marked various fragmented terraced fields.


    ¡°These areas, after this batch of Spirit Rice is harvested, we won¡¯t sow them again¡­¡±


    If the Eastern Desolation Plateau were to be entirely developed, the Spirit Fields of Giant Tree Ridge would actually become redundant. Therefore, Chen Mobai began to resolutely make new plans for Giant Tree Ridge.


    In the future, only Rank-2 Spirit Rice, such as Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, which was of high quality and required detailed cultivation, would be planted here.


    The rest of the various Spirit Rices would be gradually transferred to the families under his command or to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    After completing this matter, Chen Mobai visited Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo.


    He spoke with the Purple Sun Puppet, Fu Zongjue, who was standing guard outside and learned that no unexpected events had occurred.


    It was just the normal fluctuations of spiritual energy. It was at the end of last year that Zhou Shengqing sent a message saying he needed Spirit Stones, so Fu Zongjue sent all two thousand of his accumulated top-grade Spirit Stones into the dojo.


    That was a good thing, signifying that Zhou Shengqing was condensing his Nascent Soul and needed a vast amount of spiritual energy to help transform the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    To this, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed.


    Unable to contain his curiosity, he used his fourth rank Echoes in the Void to listen to the fluctuations inside. Sure enough, a terrifying conglomerate of energy was condensing within.


    If all went smoothly, in another year and a half, Zhou Shengqing would be able to successfully complete Nascent Soul Formation and leave seclusion.


    Feeling pleased, Chen Mobai returned to Danxia Mountain.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He took out a piece of top-grade Spirit Stone, as per his custom after finishing cultivation, brewed a pot of Green Charm Spiritual Tea to drink, and then slowly purified his own Pure Yang Spiritual Power using the Flame Lighting Technique.


    This was a slow and steady effort that did not require too much concentration but did demand a considerable amount of time.


    As Chen Mobai multitasked, he noticed the fourth stage pinnacle Biyu Wutong tree beside him, and an idea struck him, so he used the Echoes in the Void technique.


    The Longevity Sect¡¯s grand spell at the fourth stage allowed him to easily listen to the fluctuations of the Spirit Plant.


    But before long, his brows furrowed.

 Chapter 1200 - Chapter 1200 Chapter 660 Blooming Moment

    Chapter 1200: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment Chapter 1200: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment Through the Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai heard the inner joy of the Biyu Wutong Tree.


    It was a very pure, joyous emotion, similar to his own, of meeting an old friend.


    But Chen Mobai found this quite peculiar.


    The Biyu Wutong also had friends?


    For thousands of years, it had been arranging the Fire Vein and suppressing spiritual energy on Danxia Mountain, and only those who cultivated at the mountain peak could come into contact with it.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to check his phone to recall who had occupied the mountain peak.


    Prior to him was Shi Qing, and before that, the previous headmaster of Red Dawn Institution, Xiao Boxiu, who had already retired to enjoy his later years.


    Moreover, as a Golden Core Master, if Xiao Boxiu were to come to Red Sandstone City, he would surely notify Chen Mobai.


    The Kaiyuan Hall would also be informed.


    The cultivators who had occupied the peak of Danxia Mountain before Xiao Boxiu didn¡¯t need further consideration, as they had all passed away.


    So, after thinking back and forth, Chen Mobai quickly locked onto a target¡­


    The former Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, whom he once executed.


    After all, from Lan Haitian, he learned that she had disbanded her mortal form, making it possible for her to return.


    However, after Chen Mobai took over the Top of Danxia Mountain, even if the former Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard had recovered to her peak state, it would be impossible for her to infiltrate undetected and communicate with the Biyu Wutong.


    Recently, only two people had come here.


    Luan Jingsheng and Chansi!


    In the midst of thought, Chen Mobai considered the Devour God Technique.


    Since both of them were born before Shi Qing was slain, it wasn¡¯t a reincarnation through disbanding the mortal form, but more likely the pre-emptive planting of a God Seed using the Devour God Technique.


    So, which of them might be the one who possessed Master Huakai¡¯s body?


    With a thought, Chen Mobai already had his phone out, planning to call Lan Haitian to handle the matter.


    But then he remembered that Chansi was currently working at his Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman factory, and all her family and close ones were around her.


    Even though he wasn¡¯t certain if Chansi was the person Shi Qing had possessed, to be cautious, he decided to detain her first.


    However, he couldn¡¯t spook her and needed to think of an excuse to lure her up the mountain to face her fate.


    As for Luan Jingsheng, he had recently received notification of employment at a large factory and had left Red Sandstone City. Chen Mobai planned to detain Chansi first, then notify Lan Haitian to use the power of the Immortal Gate to deal with him.


    After spending a long time in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai¡¯s first instinct in such matters was to err on the side of caution, even if it meant to wrongly kill rather than let go.


    The Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman Factory!


    Chansi, having just joined the factory half a month ago, demonstrated excellent workmanship. Under her command, the process for making Rank-2 Talisman Paper was improved, boosting efficiency by thirty percent.


    Tang Panchui, the foreperson, couldn¡¯t praise her enough and, knowing she was alone, often invited her over for meals.


    Today, as Chansi was directing the workshop process, she suddenly received a call from Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai mentioned he had some free time and intended to try drawing the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman, asking Chansi to bring up the Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink from the factory¡¯s stock to the mountain.


    ¡°This should have been my task.¡±


    Wang Xinying watched Chansi depart with the items, her lips pouting unhappily.


    Previously, whenever Chen Mobai required Talisman Paper and Ink, it was she who delivered them to the mountain.


    But she was unaware that this trip was more than just a delivery.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, here is the Talisman Paper and Ink you requested.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the charming Chansi before him, uncertain whether she was indeed Shi Qing.


    But after decades of decisive actions in the Eastern Wilderness, he had long fostered a resolute temperament.


    ¡°Thank you for making the trip.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, taking the items from her hands.


    As Chansi was about to respond with a polite dismissal of the effort, a five-colored brilliance shot out from the sleeve of the young man in front of her, coiling around her like a spirit snake, trapping her within its confines.


    ¡°Councilor Chen, what is this for? Even if you¡¯re a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, detaining a citizen of the Immortal Gate without reason is against the law. I can report you to the Department of Law Enforcement.¡±


    Chansi¡¯s eyes shone with intelligence, but soon her face displayed an expression of shock and anger, struggling to rise and vehemently protesting.


    At this point, Chen Mobai also remembered that this was Immortal Gate territory, where, without evidence, even cultivators from the Department of Law Enforcement couldn¡¯t lay hands on anyone; they could only monitor.


    Accustomed to acting with impunity in exterminating sects in the Barren, he had become somewhat lawless.


    This habit was bad and needed to be restrained.


    While thinking this, Chen Mobai maintained a calm demeanor and attempted to intimidate Chansi, ¡°Detaining a citizen of the Immortal Gate is indeed a crime, but capturing remnants of the Ascension Sect is an act of merit.¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about! I am a retired cultivator from the Military Department; without evidence, your slander will not go unpunished by the Hall of Orthodox Law!¡±


    Chansi, with anger on her face, was not intimidated by Chen Mobai, a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor.


    In the Immortal Gate, at least on the surface, equality was staunchly upheld.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not, we¡¯ll see when I notify Lan Haitian to come and take you. You can explain it to him yourself.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Sky-Mending Group in the Immortal Gate held a certain level of privilege in dealing with matters of the Ascension Sect.


    Lan Haitian surely had methods to determine whether Chansi was indeed possessed by Shi Qing or had a God Seed planted within her.


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out his phone, ready to dial.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    Chansi suddenly spoke up to stop him. The look of shock and anger vanished from her face, replaced by a frown as she coldly stared at the young man before her, with his pure and exquisite features.

 Chapter 1201 - Chapter 1201 Chapter 660 Blooming Moment_2

    Chapter 1201: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment_2 Chapter 1201: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment_2 ¡°Hmm? Done pretending now?¡±


    Chen Mobai witnessed the scene with some surprise.


    He had thought that Chansi would stubbornly resist until Lan Haitian arrived, but this was good too; at least it spared his record from being tarnished.


    After all, he had illegally detained an Immortal Gate citizen without authority, and even if it was later proven that Chansi was indeed possessed by Shi Qing, he had still violated procedural justice, which was considered a serious misconduct.


    But now that Chansi had admitted it prematurely, he could claim he discovered that she was possessed by remnants of the Ascension Sect and took swift action to control her in order to prevent injuries to ordinary citizens before the relevant personnel arrived.


    In this way, he was not only faultless but actually meritorious.


    ¡°Does this Biyu Wutong relate to an opportunity for Divinity Transformation? Do you want it?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was considering how to fabricate charges against Chansi to secure her guilt, she said something that sent a shiver through his body.


    An opportunity for Divinity Transformation!


    If it were true, he would certainly want it!


    However, the person before him was a titan of the Evil Path, and his words could not be fully trusted, so further probing was needed.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed a proud expression as he said something that Chansi didn¡¯t know how to respond to, ¡°With my talent, I can achieve Divinity Transformation on my own; I don¡¯t need so-called opportunities.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s qualification for Divinity Transformation was renowned even within the Ascension Sect.


    The Courtyard Head of Flower Bloom initially thought it was an exaggeration, but after being slain by him, she knew it was well-deserved.


    But his statement was still a bit too arrogant!


    ¡°I recognize your extraordinary talent, but the chasm to Divinity Transformation is not something that can be crossed with talent alone. Throughout the history of the Immortal Gate, more than a dozen have been called qualified for Divinity Transformation, but only the Yuanyang Ancestor has ever achieved it in the end. You wouldn¡¯t want your talent to be wasted, confined to the Nascent Soul Realm, only to fade away in meditation, would you?¡±


    Many of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Huashen Ancestors went unnoticed at first; some even achieved Divinity Transformation in their second life.


    The most famous one who was stunning from the beginning to the end was the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    After hearing Chansi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai pretended to be moved, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.


    ¡°Go on.¡±


    ¡°The secret technique passed down in our lineage of the Flower Bloom Courtyard¨Cthe ¡®Blooming Moment¡¯¨Ccan condense the essence, Qi, and spirit of a spirit plant, making it bloom and bear fruit. When cultivators consume it, they can comprehend the Dao rhythm and vitality imprinted by the plant over hundreds of years and experience its profound mystery. This is why I chose this Biyu Wutong.¡±


    Chansi was very clear that this was her last chance to seize a new body.


    Falling into the hands of the Sky-Mending Group would leave her no chance of escape.


    So she directly revealed her true purpose hidden in Red Sandstone City, hoping to entice the young man before her into not handing her over.


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai recalled Lan Haitian, who had told him that when the Peach Blossom Sage had examined the Biyu Wutong, he found signs that it had leveled up but hadn¡¯t consumed a large amount of nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    At this time, he was three parts convinced of what Chansi had said.


    However, what he thought was whether he could apply this secret technique in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, every spirit plant in the Immortal Gate was accounted for and there was little room for use.


    But it was different in the Eastern Wilderness, where under the command of the Divine Wood Sect alone, there were many Rank-4 spirit plants.


    The Great Dao Tree left behind by the Longevity Sect in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai felt, was no less significant than the Biyu Wutong.


    When his cultivation level reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul in the future, he felt that for his own path to Divinity Transformation, using this Great Dao Tree as the fruit to level up was an acceptable choice.


    ¡°Tell me the mantra of the Blooming Moment.¡±


    Thus, Chen Mobai directly inquired about the content of this secret technique.


    ¡°This is a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques; are you sure you want to hear it?¡±


    Chansi asked in return, and Chen Mobai nodded. After all, he wasn¡¯t planning on using the Blooming Moment within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°`


    ¡°So, should we properly discuss the conditions between us?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    At this point, Chansi¡¯s face suddenly revealed a smile, and then she twisted her body, pointing to the five-colored mist that bound her.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai hesitated. In the Immortal Gate, making deals with the remnants of the Ascension Sect was a grave sin.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But this was a chance related to Divinity Transformation; weighing the situation, he felt the gains far outweighed the risks, so he reached out and retracted the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± that bound Chansi.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Still, Chen Mobai placed a restriction, sealing her Dantian Qi Sea to prevent this person from the Ancient Evil Path Union from using any strange techniques.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi didn¡¯t say much else. After being released, she moved her body around and also thought about how she would speak with the stunning young man before her.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Though she used the chance of Divinity Transformation to turn her nearly certain demise around,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    she had laid down her biggest bargaining chip and had no more room to maneuver.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°May I ask, how was I exposed?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Hearing Chansi¡¯s question, Chen Mobai turned his head to glance at the Biyu Wutong not far away, then remained silent, letting her guess for herself.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°You set up surveillance spells where you reside? Saw me touching it?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi looked at Chen Mobai with disbelief, now regretting how she couldn¡¯t restrain herself despite having endured for fifteen long years.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°You hand over the Blooming Moment to me, we make reciprocal Dao Heart oaths to not harm each other, and then you leave Di Yuan Star to return to the Ascension Sect, how about that?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai was the first to share his thoughts, but Chansi immediately shook her head upon hearing them.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Ascension Sect may not be as safe as the Immortal Gate, and moreover, the Forbidden Technique Blooming Moment requires the cultivation techniques of the Flower Bloom Courtyard to be executed; at minimum, you need to ensure my cultivation until Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°You¡¯ll give me all the cultivation techniques and secret techniques of the Flower Bloom Courtyard, whether I can cultivate them or not is my concern.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    While Chen Mobai himself had the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll, as the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he had many talented individuals under his command; he refused to believe he couldn¡¯t find someone capable of practicing them.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi: ¡°I need more assurance.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Speak.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi: ¡°You ensuring my cultivation until Core Formation is the bottom line, without the realm of Core Formation, I have no sense of security.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head again, and he informed her that the Immortal Gate already knew she wasn¡¯t completely dead.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Your tricks didn¡¯t fool Elder Yuanxu. Now, all cultivators in the Immortal Gate who have reached Core Formation will undergo the strictest scrutiny. Even with my protection, you have too many flaws, and if you attempt Core Formation, you¡¯ll immediately be discovered by the Sky-Mending Group.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Having been an exchange student of Red Sandstone City, Chansi was bound to face meticulous checks when obtaining the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And if she succeeded in Core Formation, she would be even more conspicuous. The Hall of Orthodox Law would surely use various means to confirm her identity.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Under the investigation of the Immortal Gate¡¯s most powerful law enforcement, Chansi, marked with traces of the Devour God Technique, simply couldn¡¯t avoid detection.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I need you to give me a sense of security before I can hand over Blooming Moment and the cultivation techniques of the Flower Bloom Courtyard, otherwise, I prefer to die.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi said this with a look of determination.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Having already died twice, this was her last chance to return to her peak.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    It was also her last bargaining chip.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Then let¡¯s do this, we each take a step back. You hand over Blooming Moment first, and then we make reciprocal Dao Heart oaths to ensure no harm to each other. In about sixty years, war will break out; by then, I¡¯ll find a way to get you into a Different World to undergo Core Formation, how¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    With these words, Chen Mobai made Chansi nod slightly, showing she could accept the proposal.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve achieved Perfect Core Formation, with your talent, you should be at Nascent Soul by then. At that time, bring this Biyu Wutong into your Domain, and I¡¯ll apply Blooming Moment. Then we can share the harvested flower fruit equally.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Chansi¡¯s proposal made Chen Mobai frown slightly.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    What right do you have to share half?

 Chapter 1202 - Chapter 1202 Chapter 661 Hand Over to the State

    Chapter 1202: Chapter 661: Hand Over to the State Chapter 1202: Chapter 661: Hand Over to the State ¡°The risk is all mine, and you want half? Isn¡¯t that a bit excessive?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t accept it and directly voiced his thoughts.


    Chansi: ¡°If I hadn¡¯t told you, you would never have obtained this opportunity for Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°But you should be clear, your life and death are in my hands now.¡±


    Chansi: ¡°Everyone can only perform Body Seizing once. When I chose to seize a body instead of reincarnating, I had already decided to bet my last chance for enlightenment in this life. This is the biggest bargaining chip I hold in my hands. Since I¡¯ve revealed it, I certainly need to secure the greatest opportunity for myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I feel that our transaction isn¡¯t very profitable for me. After all, the Biyu Wutong will definitely be mine in the future. Giving you half is like getting sold out by you and then helping you count the money.¡±


    Chansi: ¡°But you should know that there are only two or three types of opportunities for Transformation in the entire Immortal Sect. Even if you really become the Sect Master, it¡¯s not certain that it would be your turn. Besides, none of those opportunities compare to the secret technique of Flower Bloom Courtyard. You should feel fortunate that I am willing to cooperate with you. If it were any other Nascent Soul Superior, even if I asked for seventy percent, they would nod in agreement.¡±


    Chansi spoke with great confidence because the Transformation of the sect mostly relied on one¡¯s own talent and serendipitous opportunities to achieve such a Realm.


    The only technique that could reliably allow someone to experience the Spirit Transformation Stage, apart from the Shocking God Sonata, was this secret technique from Flower Bloom Courtyard.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Since you say so, maybe I should just hand you over to the Immortal Sect.¡±


    As these words fell, Chansi¡¯s gaze grew sharp. She felt that she couldn¡¯t back down at this moment and, to express her determination, she uttered what seemed to be a threatening sentence.


    ¡°I have surveyed most of the Spirit Plants of the Immortal Sect. This Fourth Grade Superior Biyu Wutong is most suitable for Blooming Moment. If you hand me over to the sect, not only will you lose this opportunity, but even this Spirit Plant that originally belongs to you will be snatched away by those in the upper echelons.¡±


    This made Chen Mobai fall silent. Given the scarce resources of the Immortal Sect, if the other Nascent Soul Superiors learned that the Biyu Wutong could produce an opportunity for Transformation, they would definitely not let it go.


    ¡°Half won¡¯t work, at most I will give you ten percent!¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to bargain. Although he valued the Biyu Wutong, he had never been taken advantage of so greatly since he started his cultivation.


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it, this is my last chance at enlightenment. I won¡¯t back down a step. Half is already my bottom line.¡±


    Chansi¡¯s expression was firm. She firmly believed that in the resource-scarce environment of the Immortal Sect, no one would give up a genuine opportunity for Transformation.


    Especially this person, who really has the potential for Transformation, would feel the same.


    ¡°Is there really no room for discussion?¡±


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows and spoke gravely.


    ¡°No!¡±


    Chansi decisively uttered two words.


    The two stared at each other for a long time, as if waiting for the other to yield.


    It was probably three minutes later when Chen Mobai sighed.


    Just when Chansi thought he was going to relent, Five-Colored Light shone from his sleeves again, promptly binding her.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then there¡¯s nothing left to discuss between us.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai took out his phone and called Lan Haitian.


    Hearing the sound of his phone call, Chansi¡¯s eyes widened dramatically, wanting to say something, but this time ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± even sealed her mouth, not allowing her to make a sound.


    ¡°Mmm, I¡¯ve caught the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard¡­ Speaking of which, you might not believe it, but she came to me willingly¡­¡±


    While Chen Mobai was talking to Lan Haitian, Chansi¡¯s heart was filled with disbelief.


    [That¡¯s it? We¡¯re not discussing any further?]


    [Just hold on a bit longer! I¡¯m willing to step back!]


    [Give me another chance, I can accept thirty percent, no, ten percent¡­ I¡¯ll even give you everything!]


    But by this time, Chen Mobai had already finished his call. Everything was settled.


    It was too late for Chansi to regret.


    ¡­


    That night, Lan Haitian, who had come over directly on a special flight, watched the bound Chansi wrapped in ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± and couldn¡¯t help showing a dawning realization.


    ¡°So it was Body Seizing and not reincarnation. No wonder after investigating all the infants of the sect a year after you killed her, I found no anomalies.¡±


    Soldier resolution and reincarnation, as long as one is within the bounds of fate and possesses a sufficiently strong spirit, is not limited in the number of times.


    But Body Seizing can only be done once.


    Techniques like Devour God Technique are simply possession.


    Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know this since, in the Tianhe Realm, the Ghost Cultivators¡¯ number of Body Seizings seemed unlimited.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already handed her over to you. To find out why she risked coming back, I played along with her earlier and discussed some things¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai told Lan Haitian about their conversation regarding Blooming Moment. Upon hearing it, the latter¡¯s pupils constricted and his mouth fell open in shock!


    ¡°An opportunity for Transformation! You actually refused it!¡±


    Although Lan Haitian was the most loyal weapon of the Immortal Sect, he admitted that faced with the bait thrown by Chansi, he might not have been able to maintain his stance and could have likely defected.


    ¡°With my talent, why would I need these external things?¡±


    Yet, Chen Mobai said calmly.

 Chapter 1203 - Chapter 1203 Chapter 661 Handing Over to the State_2

    Chapter 1203: Chapter 661 Handing Over to the State_2 Chapter 1203: Chapter 661 Handing Over to the State_2 Following Lan Haitian, Lin Yin heard these words, and amidst the long periods of slaughter and missions, her cold self felt a surge of admiration for the first time.


    This was a yearning for the strong!


    And Lan Haitian, upon hearing it, simply gave Chen Mobai a thumbs-up.


    Knowing the ¡°Blooming Moment¡± secret technique, he didn¡¯t dare to delay any longer and escorted Chansi to Wangwu Cave Heaven overnight.


    Of course, Chen Mobai also informed both the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    After all, these two were considered his support and backing, and it was certainly necessary to inform them of such news.


    Moreover, it was Elder Yuanxu who had discovered the signs that Master Huakai was not completely dead, so Chen Mobai felt that if Xianmen were to study Blooming Moment, it would ultimately be handled by this individual as well.


    So he informed him in advance as a favor.


    If there were any results in the future, he would be able to inquire from Elder Yuanxu first.


    Because he had been in frequent contact with Elder Yuanxu lately, after hanging up the phone with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai directly informed him about the matter via text message.


    But obviously, to any Nascent Soul Superior, the Blooming Moment secret technique was of great importance.


    No sooner had he sent the text than Elder Yuanxu called him right back.


    And while the two were in the midst of their conversation, Master Chengxuan¡¯s call came through.


    After apologizing, Chen Mobai ended the call with Elder Yuanxu.


    Both Nascent Soul Superiors attached great importance to Blooming Moment and asked about all the actions taken by Master Huakai at Danxia Mountain after his body seizing, in exhaustive detail.


    ¡°You have done a great service with this matter!¡±


    After asking, Master Chengxuan said with heartfelt gravity.


    ¡°It is my duty to do so, but Principal, I have also informed Elder Yuanxu about this matter¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai took the initiative to come clean, and Master Chengxuan nodded in response, indicating that he did the right thing.


    ¡°This is a major matter, and the Three Hall Masters of Xianmen will surely try to conceal it to prevent more people from sharing this opportunity. It was correct for you to tell him; being a direct disciple of Leading Star Ancestor, knowing this, he can actively involve himself in the matter and the Three Halls cannot block it. With him taking the lead, I can follow suit and participate.¡±


    Master Chengxuan, though he was the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, could not represent Ancestor Baiguang, so in the eyes of the Three Hall Masters of Xianmen, his weight was not equal to Yuanxu¡¯s.


    After speaking, Master Chengxuan also proactively reminded Chen Mobai to inform another person.


    ¡°Although it was Elder Yuanxu who forcibly took over the matter of the Asura Dharma Aspect last time, it did, after all, cause a loss of face for Daoist Yu Yi. You should tell her about this as well, especially since she is the authority in Xianmen on the study of forbidden techniques. If research is indeed needed, her joining forces with Elder Yuanxu would make for greater certainty.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression brightened, and he immediately thanked Master Chengxuan.


    Just as when the expert group had come before, Daoist Yu Yi, who had been the group leader, had taken the initiative to contact Chen Mobai once, and he had saved her number.


    He also sent her a message, but got no response for half a day.


    Just as Chen Mobai wondered whether Daoist Yu Yi had blocked his number, she suddenly called him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made some inquiries, and the Sky-Mending Group has indeed captured a remnant of the Ascension Sect¡­¡±


    Her first sentence made Chen Mobai feel somewhat embarrassed, as it seemed he was not very trusted in her eyes.


    ¡°I will remember this favor; in the future, you may come directly to me if you have any matters.¡±


    After saying this, Daoist Yu Yi did not give Chen Mobai the chance to reply, and quickly hung up.


    After making contact with the three Nascent Soul Superiors, Chen Mobai turned his gaze toward the Biyu Wutong tree.


    He sighed softly.


    Although he had resolved a major hidden danger, there was also the possibility that this Fourth Grade Superior spiritual plant would be directly reclaimed by Xianmen under the pretext of a chance at Divinity Transformation.


    He had mentioned this during his calls with Cheng Xuan and Yuanxu, and both could only promise that if Xianmen really reclaimed the Biyu Wutong tree, when he achieved Golden Core Perfection, and if the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine was available in Xianmen¡¯s vault, they would strive to get him the first qualification to exchange for it.


    Chen Mobai also expressed his acceptance.


    Three days later, two unexpected people arrived at Danxia Mountain.


    Yuan Xu and Yu Yi!


    These two Nascent Soul Superiors from the Immortal Gate nodded to Chen Mobai and walked up to the Biyu Wutong.


    ¡°Peach Blossom Sage might have left her research material on this Spirit Plant here.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu spoke up, and Chen Mobai immediately nodded. Knowing how important the Biyu Wutong was, he had already prepared this material.


    The formidable Divine Senses of the two Nascent Soul Superiors projected out, quickly imprinting the thick stacks of research into their minds. After an on-site inspection, they each took a branch of the Biyu Wutong for preservation.


    ¡°How?¡±


    Yuan Xu asked Yu Yi, who nodded in agreement. According to the material from the Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s research, she confirmed that the technique Blooming Moment likely truly existed.


    ¡°The secret technique probably does exist, but its effects and range of application have certainly been exaggerated.¡±


    Yuan Xu shared his view, and after some thought, Yu Yi nodded her head in agreement as well.


    ¡°May I ask the Elders, what is the current status of the interrogation results for Master Huakai?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain his curiosity and inquired.


    If it had been anyone else from the Immortal Gate, Yuan Xu and Yu Yi would certainly not have responded, but since Chen Mobai asked, they did share some insider information.


    ¡°This Biyu Wutong is only suited for her opportunity for Divinity Transformation, had you not been firm in your convictions and been beguiled by her, then when the tree bore fruit, only she would have been able to devour and refine it.¡±


    Hearing Elder Yuanxu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but inwardly curse Master Huakai. Lucky for him, he had been faithfully loyal to the Immortal Gate and firm-willed; otherwise, he truly would have been sold out and even helped her count her money.


    While he was feeling fortunate about his good luck, Daoist Yu Yi also shared her discovery: ¡°The Spirit Plants affected by Blooming Moment are only useful to cultivators if their properties match. For instance, the Fifth-Rank Zhu Fruit Tree from the Dance Instruments Dao Academy¨Cif subjected to this Forbidden Technique¨Cwould provide an opportunity for Divinity Transformation to Cheng Xuan, but for us, it would be a poison contaminating our Essence, Qi, and Spirit.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately sensed the critical point: ¡°Then if one¡¯s Cultivation of Five Elements Cultivation reaches ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ Perfection, wouldn¡¯t various attributes of Spirit Plants all be compatible?¡±


    The various Spirit Plants of the Immortal Gate essentially all have Five Elements properties, and Five Elements Cultivation encompasses all Five Elements.


    ¡°In theory, it¡¯s feasible, but because there has not been actual verification, I cannot be certain.¡±


    Daoist Yu Yi was still very meticulous.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that within the Immortal Gate, these Spirit Plants¡¯ preciousness sometimes even exceeds that of us Nascent Souls. Unless it¡¯s the final moment of extinction, the Ancestors would not agree to use Fourth and Fifth Rank Spirit Plants as sustenance for our Ascendance!¡±


    Elder Yuanxu said with a sigh.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately understood.


    For instance, as long as the Fifth-Rank Zhu Fruit Tree from the Dance Instruments Dao Academy was alive, it could continuously provide the main medicine for Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine. Compared to a one-off deal, with no reserve, the style of the Immortal Gate would certainly favor sustainable development.


    Unless, it was the situation described by Elder Yuanxu of Di Yuan Star facing extinction, or¡­ the Divinity Transformation of the Immortal Gate being cut off!


    ¡°Have the Elders already finished researching the Blooming Moment technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, and Yuan Xu and Yu Yi did not hide it from him, nodding their heads.


    ¡°Although Master Huakai is of strong mind and extremely cunning, after Teacher Qianxing personally met and spoke with her, she divulged all the Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques of Flower Bloom Courtyard.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu mentioned this matter lightly, but Chen Mobai felt a palpable shock.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even the Leading Star Ancestor had made an appearance!


    Thankfully, he had resolutely handed the matter over¡­


    As Chen Mobai was feeling relieved, he suddenly remembered another point.


    He had once looked up the Devour God Technique in the Immortal Gate National Library and discovered that there really was a remnant of this Forbidden Technique, but it required a user of Fourth Grade Superior to download it.


    So, would the Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques of Flower Bloom Courtyard also be listed?

 Chapter 1204 - Chapter 1204 Chapter 662 Promotion in Status

    Chapter 1204: Chapter 662: Promotion in Status Chapter 1204: Chapter 662: Promotion in Status Regarding this matter, he couldn¡¯t exactly ask the two Nascent Soul Superiors, it being a secret technique after all. He couldn¡¯t appear too concerned.


    Still, he took note of it and planned to consult the Immortal Gate National Library for more information when his realm was higher and he needed to use the ¡°Blooming Moment¡± secret technique.


    Elder Yuanxu and Daoist Yu Yi spent three days on the summit of Danxia Mountain. They experimented together on the Biyu Wutong and, obtaining the data they wanted, bid farewell and left.


    Chen Mobai had wanted to see them off personally but they simply shook their heads and stepped into the void, vanishing before his eyes.


    That was ¡°Void Walking¡±!


    Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel envious.


    After the two Nascent Soul Superiors left, he immediately informed Master Chengxuan.


    ¡°Ah, what a pity¡­¡±


    Upon hearing the news, Master Chengxuan also couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    A Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree¨Cjust thinking about it, one would know it was impossible to use for a chance at Divinity Transformation just for him.


    However, whatsoever, it did give Master Chengxuan a bit more desire.


    If not a Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree, what about a Rank-4?


    Moreover, apart from the Vermillion Fruit Tree, there were some Fire Spirit Trees planted in Crimson Mountain. These trees, primarily used to regulate Fire Veins, were of lower value. With his status and a bit of maneuvering, he might be able to procure a Rank-4 Fire Spirit Tree for experimentation.


    For this matter, both Elder Yuanxu and Daoist Yu Yi were supportive.


    They had already begun jointly studying ¡°Blooming Moment,¡± but discussing strategies on paper is ultimately inferior to a real trial.


    Should Master Chengxuan be willing to be the first to attempt it, it would be beneficial not only for them but the entire Immortal Gate as well.


    However, there was a twist¨Cthe soon-to-retire Head of Immortal Affairs also expressed a desire to participate.


    With his lifespan dwindling, his plan had been to try the Shocking God Sonata after retirement.


    With the ¡°Blooming Moment¡± now an option, he naturally wouldn¡¯t want to miss out.


    The Head of Immortal Affairs was also a graduate of the Patching Heaven Institute and had a better relationship with Elder Yuanxuan. After he initiated contact, Elder Yuanxuan couldn¡¯t help but take a neutral stance.


    But both parties were very restrained and kept their competition within a small range to avoid alerting others.


    After all, there were quite a few Nascent Souls in the Immortal Gate.


    By the time Chen Mobai received the news, the competition between the two had already settled, and surprisingly, Master Chengxuan had prevailed over the Head of Immortal Affairs, securing the opportunity.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be in seclusion for a long time and might need you to hold the fort at the Daoist Academy,¡±


    Master Chengxuan had called Chen Mobai before going into seclusion.


    The experiment with ¡°Blooming Moment¡± was chosen to use a Fourth Grade Superior Fire Spirit Tree; Master Chengxuan had exhausted all his connections and savings within the Immortal Gate to secure this chance.


    The location for the experiment was chosen deep within the Treasure Trove, in a minor realm, as it was a Fifth-Order Fire Vein area with Fire Spirit Trees. If Master Chengxuan could indeed make a breakthrough, the spiritual energy would be sufficient.


    This time the experiment was presided over by Daoist Yu Yi, with Elder Yuanxu assisting, because the latter was also engaged in researching the Asura Dharma Aspect. Although multitasking was not an issue for him, having Yu Yi to fully concentrate meant she would take the lead.


    ¡°Principal, you are too polite. With Vice Principal Duanmu and Che Laoshi, there¡¯s hardly a need for me to hold the fort¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai remained humble in front of the Nascent Soul Superiors.


    ¡°Duanmu ingested a Vermillion Fruit and Infant-Feeding Elixir last year. She emerged from seclusion a few days ago and her attempt at Nascent Soul Formation failed, causing severe damage to her vital energy. She just submitted a resignation letter, wanting to retire back home for recuperation.¡±


    But Master Chengxuan revealed news that Chen Mobai had not known. Hearing this, his face turned gloomy, and he sighed repeatedly.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that even Duanmu Longrong would fail!


    The ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± stage was truly challenging!


    ¡°Your teacher also wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but after Duanmu¡¯s failure, he felt obliged to stay and keep things stable.¡±


    ¡°There is also another matter, concerning the opportunity to guard that Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree. If you had wanted it, no one within the Daoist Academy could have contested you for it.¡±


    ¡°But since you are not interested, all those who are qualified will be eager to compete for it.¡±


    Master Chengxuan seemed to genuinely view Chen Mobai as the future master of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, informing him of these matters one by one.


    However, this wasn¡¯t Chen Mobai¡¯s fault. After all, a mere Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree was not enough to bind him for three hundred years.


    And without him, the most universally esteemed individual, the younger Golden Core Cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy naturally wanted to compete for the chance at Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°I think True Person Shaoyang is good.¡±

    Chen Mobai directly expressed his opinion.


    He always remembered those who did him good deeds. Qin Beichen had given him a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi during his Core Formation, which he had always remembered.


    Although later on, it seemed that he might have succeeded in Core Formation without the Pure Yang Purple Qi, given all his preparations at the time, it was still a critical aid¨Can act of kindness.


    Now that Master Chengxuan had brought it up, Chen Mobai was definitely supportive of his former mentor.


    ¡°This matter calls for a vote from all the Golden Core Masters of the Daoist Academy; if you express your support for Little Qin, it will influence many to vote for him.¡±

 Chapter 1205 - Chapter 1205 Chapter 662 Status Promotion_2

    Chapter 1205: Chapter 662 Status Promotion_2 Chapter 1205: Chapter 662 Status Promotion_2 Master Chengxuan made the key point; he was transcendent and did not express his opinion on this matter.


    Fifty-seven Golden Core Masters had graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Among them, those who were over three JiZi in age no longer had the qualifications to guard the Treasure Trove and the Fifth-Rank Vermilion Fruit Tree, leaving sixteen eligible candidates.


    Not counting Chen Mobai, that was fifteen.


    Excluding the special case of Yu Tianguang, there were fourteen.


    Among them, True Person Shaoyang, Qin Beichen, also had a notable reputation.


    However, those who had achieved Golden Core status, due to their connections, background, and talent, were all top-notch; about five or six were not inferior to Qin Beichen, even surpassing him.


    As Master Chengxuan had said, without Chen Mobai, who was the widely anticipated future leader, every remaining candidate had an opportunity.


    Currently, the news of Duanmu¡¯s failure had not yet spread, so things were still calm.


    Once Duanmu returned home to recuperate, Chen Mobai would instantly become the most coveted among all the Golden Core Masters at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Because his qualifications for Divinity Transformation had essentially confirmed him as one of the future leaders of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his support would almost certainly secure the position.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you come back for a while?¡±


    Master Chengxuan suddenly made this remark.


    ¡°As a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall, it¡¯s not advisable for me to leave lightly¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai instinctively began to speak but was immediately interrupted by Master Chengxuan.


    ¡°It can be arranged. I¡¯ll help you with the procedure, it¡¯ll be quick.¡±


    If a Nascent Soul Superior intervened, the procedures at the Kaiyuan Hall would indeed be expedited since Elder Yuanxu had previously helped Chen Mobai in this matter.


    ¡°Alright then, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen my master.¡±


    Chen Mobai no longer hesitated, nodding his approval right away. Furthermore, with Duanmu Longrong¡¯s failure in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, he was bound both by sentiment and reason to pay a visit.


    It was also a good opportunity to help Qin Beichen gain some support.


    Master Chengxuan took care of the arrangements, which indeed proved incredibly swift.


    The next day, Chen Mobai received notice from the Kaiyuan Hall Rotational Committee stating that in addition to the Repairing Heaven Institute, he could now also visit the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Of course, this permission had a validity of ten years.


    However, as long as the two Nascent Soul Superiors who applied for him were still present, his pass would continuously be automatically renewed at the Kaiyuan Hall.


    This was essentially a guarantee from Elder Yuanxu and Chengxuan for his behalf.


    After obtaining the pass, Chen Mobai informed a few people close to him in Red Sandstone City, then booked a ticket to Red City Cave Heaven.


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    In the office of building one, Che Yucheng, who seemed much older, lookED at Chen Mobai carrying a basket of fruits and tea, and a happy smile appeared on his face.


    ¡°Come in, have a seat.¡±


    The two talked for a long time, mainly with Che Yucheng asking questions and Chen Mobai answering.


    It seemed that with age, one tends to become more talkative. Chen Mobai noticed that Che Yucheng talked much more than during his time studying at the academy.


    If Cheng Xuan hadn¡¯t called them up, perhaps Che Yucheng might have kept talking.


    In the president¡¯s office, the pale-looking Duanmu Longrong was also present.


    Compared to their last meeting, the vice-president seemed ravaged by time, her previously smooth, elastic skin now saggy and even slightly spotted with age spots, her hair also white and dry.


    Seeing the youthful, handsome Chen Mobai walk in, Duanmu Longrong looked envious and sighed softly.


    ¡°Duanmu teacher¡­¡±


    After presenting his prepared gifts to her, Chen Mobai also did not know how to comfort her, standing by, hesitating to speak.


    ¡°It¡¯s a laughing matter; this is how it turns out when the Hugging Elixir Technique fails to breach the Nascent Soul stage, revealing one¡¯s true, aged self.¡±


    Instead, Duanmu Longrong was the one who initiated the conversation. Downstairs in the office, Chen Mobai had also learned all the details from Che Yucheng.


    The so-called Hugging Elixir Technique was a secret technique developed by practitioners of the Lasting Spring Cultivation at Jumang Academy. Inspired by the characteristics of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, it aimed to lock all inner Essence, Qi, and Spirit to form an impervious domain.


    But once you unleash your domain and burst forth with all your power, this characteristic will become ineffective, and the traces of years that had previously been paused will all erode you simultaneously.


    Later at the Repairing Heaven Institute, a Golden Core Master used the Hugging Elixir Technique to lock his youth, and only when it was time for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± did he burst forth in strength, and using that brief peak, he overcame the bottleneck.


    Since then, the Hugging Elixir Technique had become standard for all Golden Core Masters in the Immortal Gate who wished to undergo ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± but were nearing the end of their prime.


    ¡°If it were you, you would definitely succeed¡­¡±


    Duanmu Longrong had great expectations for Chen Mobai. Seeing his excessively youthful face, which did not require the Hugging Elixir Technique, she wanted to persuade him once again to accept the path of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Duanmu, but I personally do not like constraints.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke frankly, leading Duanmu Longrong to sigh once again.


    Soon, Qin Beichen also arrived and was shocked to see the aged Duanmu Longrong.


    Clearly, the news of Duanmu Longrong¡¯s failed ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was only known to those present.


    ¡°Little Qin, after Duanmu, would you be willing to take her place in guarding the deepest part of the Treasure Trove, overseeing the fifth-rank Vermillion Fruit Tree?¡±


    Master Chengxuan asked. Upon hearing this, Qin Beichen¡¯s eyes brightened, and he was visibly excited.


    However, after glancing at Chen Mobai, he hesitated and did not immediately agree.


    ¡°It was Little Chen who recommended you, and I also think that three hundred years for him would be too much of a waste. Given his talents, he might become the next Yuanyang Ancestor, not needing external resources and just relying on his profound foundation to cross this great realm.¡±


    Master Chengxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel somewhat embarrassed; he didn¡¯t expect the casual boastful claims used to maintain his public image were actually taken seriously by the dean.


    But at that moment, he could not jump out and argue but had to modestly and self-assuredly wave his hands with a smile.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Beichen understood the reason he could get this opportunity.


    In addition to Chen Mobai¡¯s renunciation, it was also because the choice had landed on him.


    ¡°Afterwards, Little Chen, you and Little Qin should have a meal together in a public setting. Express your stance to let others see.¡±


    Master Chengxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod lightly. It was better to settle this matter sooner rather than later, as delaying could lead to complications.


    Particularly as Master Chengxuan was about to go into seclusion.


    ¡°Take me to the fifth-rank Vermillion Fruit Tree, and I will explain what you need to pay attention to¡­¡±


    Duanmu Longrong spoke to Qin Beichen, who immediately came over respectfully, supporting her trembling form.


    After the two left, only three people remained in the dean¡¯s office.


    But soon there was another.


    A virtual silhouette projected from the Soulful Mirror emerged; it was Wang Shuye, the highest-ranking person in the Dance Tool Dao Academy within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Ah, did senior sister still fail?¡±


    Wang Shuye was still wondering why Master Chengxuan had summoned his spirit to the meeting. Upon hearing the news, his face turned gloomy.


    After Duanmu Longrong, it would be his turn.


    Compared to Duanmu Longrong, he only had one Infant-Feeding Elixir, and the chances of success were even more remote.


    ¡°I¡¯m going into seclusion to comprehend a higher realm. If there¡¯s any major issue in the academy in the future, the three of you should discuss and resolve it.¡±


    With this declaration from Master Chengxuan, Chen Mobai suddenly realized.


    He had indeed become one of the three highest-ranked Golden Cores in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, right after the Nascent Souls.


    ¡°Dean, I¡¯m still too young¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Just consider it helping me.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could finish his modest words, Master Chengxuan¡¯s statement made him hold back, and he eventually nodded, happily accepting his current status.


    Exiting from building one, Chen Mobai felt his heart pounding fiercely and let out a long sigh.


    Although he was already the leader of one sect in the Eastern Wilderness, suddenly being elevated to such a position in the Immortal Gate still put a tremendous pressure on him.


    ¡°Eh, uncle, what are you doing here?¡±

 Chapter 1206 - Chapter 1206 Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo

    Chapter 1206: Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo Chapter 1206: Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo Chen Mobai heard the words and looked up, his eyes instantly brightening.


    He saw a girl with a slender figure and delicate waist, pure and youthful, holding a stack of documents and walking up the steps from the mountainside. She was wearing a black, sheer blouse and a knee-length black skirt, which highlighted her skin as white and smooth as jade. Upon seeing Chen Mobai, her face revealed a genuinely amazed and joyful smile.


    With light steps, her beautifully curved legs clad in black stockings and her petite leather boots barely touched the steps as she instantly leaped in front of Chen Mobai.


    Seeing the vibrant young girl land in front of him, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze became a little dazed.


    It was as if he saw an old friend whom he hadn¡¯t seen for a long time.


    But Chen Mobai was certain that this girl was not that person.


    He asked hesitantly, ¡°You are¡­?¡±


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m Xiao Hei! When I was little, I got lost in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, and you were the one who saved me.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, remembering her as the likely descendant of Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s lineage and was naturally impressed.


    A young girl can change tremendously as she turns eighteen. The timid little girl from the past had now completely transformed.


    Her brows and facial features fully matured, standing gracefully and beautifully.


    ¡°You¡¯ve become so beautiful, I certainly couldn¡¯t recognize you.¡±


    This remark of Chen Mobai made her gleam with a smile, seemingly very pleased.


    ¡°Uncle, why did you come to the Daoist Academy?¡±


    ¡°The principal needed me for something; I had no choice but to come over.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, implying that he originally wanted to stay peacefully in Red Sandstone City, but Master Chengxuan¡¯s summon left him no choice but to come.


    ¡°The principal can be quite nagging and bothersome at times, lecturing me often.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words, unexpectedly, touched on Xiao Hei¡¯s grievances, and she suddenly began to complain about Master Chengxuan.


    After hearing this, the corner of Chen Mobai¡¯s eye twitched slightly, and he kept silent, not daring to agree.


    Chen Mobai had heard about Xiao Hei¡¯s background from Che Yucheng. She dared to criticize Nascent Souls because she came from a profound background. Although Chen Mobai was praised for having the Qualification of Deification, he truly did not dare to speak ill of Nascent Souls behind their backs.


    ¡°Little Chen, bring her up.¡±


    Clearly, Xiao Hei¡¯s words at the entrance of Building One were heard word for word by Master Chengxuan above, and soon Chen Mobai and Xiao Hei both heard his resigned reply.


    ¡°Yes, Principal!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was all set to leave, could only turn around and, with the youthful girl who cheerfully followed, re-enter the principal¡¯s office.


    Che Yucheng was also still there.


    ¡°Here, this is the final match schedule!¡±


    Upon entering, Xiao Hei was not the least bit shy. She directly handed the documents she was holding onto Master Chengxuan¡¯s desk.


    Under the principal¡¯s suggestive glance, Che Yucheng picked it up, glanced through, and indicated there was no problem.


    ¡°What¡¯s this schedule about?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what this was and couldn¡¯t help but be curious.


    ¡°This time, our Daoist Academy is hosting an offline exchange and sparring event, and it¡¯s Crimson Mountain¡¯s turn to serve as the home field. The final eight contestants will determine their rankings¡­¡±


    Xiao Hei, upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, immediately jumped in to answer before Master Chengxuan and Che Yucheng could speak.


    ¡°Oh, I see, how is our Daoist Academy ranked?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. Xiao Hei immediately puffed out her chest, but this time she didn¡¯t answer. Instead, she looked towards Master Chengxuan and Che Yucheng with her gaze, hinting continuously.


    ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s quite good. The chair of this year¡¯s student council shares some of your flair; she occupies one of the eight spots¨Cthe classmate here beside you.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words made Xiao Hei¡¯s face reveal an undeniable smile, and she looked at Chen Mobai with a bit of modesty.


    ¡°Only one? The Daoist Academy is far from its past glory.¡±


    Chen Mobai slightly frowned and made a remark that kept the other three from maintaining their composure.


    ¡°There¡¯s a number of talents in this year¡¯s Scholarly Mansion, and it¡¯s already very difficult for Xiao Hei to have secured one of the spots.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke up, in an uncharacteristically praising tone for Xiao Hei.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Who are these talents?¡±


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Among the eight, Jumang Academy only has one, with a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, and her ranking is even lower than hers.¡±


    This was meant to show Xiao Hei¡¯s exceptional talent, but upon hearing it, Chen Mobai just shook his head, reminiscing about the past.


    ¡°Merely a Heavenly Spirit Root. In my time, if one hadn¡¯t mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, they wouldn¡¯t even qualify to stand before me.¡±


    Xiao Hei, who was continuously nodding along with Che Yucheng¡¯s words, heard what Chen Mobai said and couldn¡¯t help but pout, wanting to say something. However, recalling Chen Mobai¡¯s record of single-handedly crushing all Foundation Establishment geniuses of the Immortal Gate during his time at the academy, she could only lower her head.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Ban Rui from the Repairing Heaven Institute is a talent personally mentored by Elder Yuanxu. In terms of accomplishments within the Guidance Book, he¡¯s no less than senior figures like Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi combined didn¡¯t last ten moves against me.¡±


    This statement made Xiao Hei, who was just about to raise her head to suggest she was on par with Ban Rui, lower it again.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Bai Guang and Crystal from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute; the former has mastered the wind and rain sections of the Six Dominions Scripture, and the latter, the Darkness and Light Sections, neither inferior to Lan Haitian of the past.¡±


    Only then did Chen Mobai seem a bit surprised.

 Chapter 1207 - Chapter 1207 Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo_2

    Chapter 1207: Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo_2 Chapter 1207: Chapter 663 Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo_2 The Liu Yu Scripture is said to be the most extensive and profound Divine Transformation Technique of the Immortal Gate, so mysterious and unfathomable. To master even one part of it marks one as a genius among geniuses.


    At any ordinary time, such an individual could suppress all peers of the same age.


    And to master two parts would put one in the same league as Lan Haitian, who dominated the ranks for sixty years above and below. If it were not for Chen Mobai¡¯s dramatic emergence, Lan Haitian would likely still be considered the highest talent of the Immortal Gate.


    Now, Roc Academy has produced two at once.


    ¡°Such geniuses, if there were no one like me as the chief, might indeed be insuppressible.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and voiced his inner thoughts.


    Upon hearing this, all three people in the room fell silent.


    This was the truth!


    But such a qualification for deification was only a handful since the inception of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Those two students from Kunpeng Daoist Institute couldn¡¯t possibly be human, could they?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered something Wen Ren Xuewei once mentioned and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes, they are beings from the Sea Territory, and their true identities have not been revealed because no one has yet managed to force them to show their true bodies in a spar.¡±


    Master Chengxuan spoke, indicating that the Sea Territory was under the jurisdiction of that Spiritual Venerable; even they, as Nascent Soul Superiors, would not dare to scrutinize.


    Among the other eight students, those able to compete with the talents of the Four Great Daoist Sects were not ordinary mortals.


    Some were born with Sword Hearts, had a Spiritual Body suited for the Tao, or a Mysterious Yang Spirit Body, etc., which, combined with the corresponding cultivation techniques, ensured they were not inferior in combat to those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.


    ¡°Indeed, this batch almost measures up to mine.¡±


    Having reviewed the list, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Apart from you, what quality did your batch have? You must know that the ones you competed against at Jumang Academy were the most outstanding Foundation Establishment geniuses accumulated by the Scholarly Mansion over nearly a hundred years, not counting your own batch!¡±


    Che Yucheng corrected him, keen to avoid disheartening Xiao Hei, who was becoming increasingly discouraged beside them.


    ¡°That¡¯s true, aside from myself, there didn¡¯t seem to be anyone particularly notable in my batch.¡±


    Chen Mobai continued to nod, the only one who had caught his eye being Zhongli Tianyu from his own Daoist Academy.


    The other opponents who had made an impression on him were just Wen Ren Xuewei, the cultivator of the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    The rest were all defeated rivals!


    And Chen Mobai had no interest in paying attention to those whom he had already bested.


    ¡°So our goal this time is to strive for the third place position.¡±


    As Che Yucheng spoke, he pointed at Xiao Hei beside Chen Mobai, dejected from feeling overshadowed. She was the chief disciple of Dance Tool Dao Academy and the hope of the entire academy.


    ¡°What a pity, I have already reached Core Formation¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked regretful, wishing he were still at the Foundation Establishment stage, ready to adopt the shameless stance the Daoist Academies used back then, taking advantage of the young.


    ¡°Now that you¡¯re here, and since voting will take place after this semester, in the meantime, you might as well give her some guidance. When it comes to Magic Duels, no one in the Immortal Gate is your equal.¡±


    Master Chengxuan finally spoke. It seemed that when he summoned Chen Mobai, he had already considered this use, making the most of the resources at hand.


    ¡°I¡¯m quite strict, you know.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse, but he had always held high expectations for his disciples. He wasn¡¯t sure if the proud talents of the Immortal Gate could withstand them.


    After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, due to cultural customs, all disciples were exceedingly respectful and obedient to their teachers.


    No matter how challenging the demands, disciples like Liu Wenbo and the other four would give their all to fulfill them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Chen, I can endure hardships.¡±


    Xiao Hei immediately straightened up upon hearing this and said, patting her chest.


    ¡°Since I¡¯ll be teaching you, you should call me Teacher.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Teacher Chen!¡±


    ¡°Just call me teacher, no need for a surname; it makes things feel closer.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Teacher!¡±


    When Chen Mobai left with Xiao Hei, Che Yucheng also took his leave. Master Chengxuan came to the window, watching as the young boy and girl departed, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.


    ¡°Now, tell me about the cultivation technique you practice, and what you excel in.¡±


    Chen Mobai took Xiao Hei to a quiet place in the Treasure Trove, ready to start advising her on her magic duel skills.


    ¡°Teacher, I practice the Five Elements Cultivation and use the Five Elements Spells, and I also have a protective magic artifact that came from a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere.''¡±


    Xiao Hei looked up at the young man before her with bright eyes, sharing her foundation.


    ¡°When it comes to magic duels, the most important thing is the foundation. If you want to improve, you need persistent effort and dedication. With only half a month left until the final practice sessions at the Daoist Academy, I will first help you solidify your foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai had a strong sense of responsibility when it came to teaching. Although he was confident that he could greatly improve Xiao Hei¡¯s magic duel skills in a short time, this would not be beneficial for her future cultivation. It was better to start from the basics, with the aim of achieving greater success in the future.


    Moreover, the main focus of the Five Elements Cultivation Technique was to establish a strong foundation.


    He knew Xiao Hei had a Pure Yin Body, but her Fire Spirit Root was the most outstanding. Therefore, until her Water Spirit Root reached a sufficient level, it was best not to practice other cultivation techniques.


    Next, Xiao Hei demonstrated the Five Elements Spells she mastered. To Chen Mobai, naturally, they were all full of flaws.


    In terms of the Five Elements Spells, her control over the Fire Attribute was the most proficient, followed by the Water Attribute. Her mastery of the other three elements lagged far behind.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to advise, teaching her the transformations between the Five Elements Spells, the quick changes that came with the cycle of generation among the elements, and how to use the strengths unique to her Five Elements abilities to suppress and overcome her opponents in a fluid and responsive manner.


    He had thought that in just half a month, Xiao Hei would at most learn a bit of the basics, but he discovered that her talent for magic duels was actually quite extraordinary, almost grasping his points immediately.


    However, she could only understand the transformations of the Five Elements Spells he spoke of and could not yet operate them as smoothly as he could.


    The reason Chen Mobai could do this effortlessly was that he was in the Golden Core Realm and had cultivated the Dual-phase Rotation Practice Together Technique of the Longevity Sect for many years.


    ¡°This will rely on prolonged practice and attempts. Later, when you have time, you can go to the Little Red Sky and choose some opponents of similar strength. Back in my day, that¡¯s how I honed my unparalleled Sword Dao Realm!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke out. Unwittingly, he had been teaching for half a month, and tomorrow was the day of the final eight contestants¡¯ battles at the Scholarly Mansion of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t there a shortcut? I want to take first place!¡±


    At the time of their parting, Xiao Hei hesitated and then suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°I¡¯ve said from the beginning, the path of persistent effort is the righteous one.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face became serious. He naturally knew there were other methods, but he did not want Xiao Hei to win easily this way. Otherwise, her future would be like his, trapped in the emptiness of having no worthy opponents.


    For this reason, after achieving Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai spent most of his time in the Eastern Wilderness, as no one within the Immortal Gate dared to challenge him.


    As soon as he logged onto the Little Red Sky, his friends would immediately log off.


    Knowing they could not win, who would wish to be defeated?


    Even Zhongli Tianyu, that proud individual, would straight-up refuse and lay down flat in the face of his challenge, which greatly disappointed Chen Mobai.


    He could only then turn to breaking sects and destroying gates in the Barren to temper his post-advancement realm and strength!


    ¡°Oh, alright then.¡±


    After hearing this, Xiao Hei showed a disappointed expression. She then politely bid farewell to Chen Mobai. Suddenly, under her feet, her little round-toed shoes emitted a dazzling array of five-colored clouds, lifting her up and preparing to leave the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°Huh, your ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ seems to be of a pretty high grade.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised when he noticed it. Although snooping was not allowed in the Immortal Gate, his exceptional eyesight and years of experience told him it was extraordinary.

    ¡°Teacher, this is the protective magic artifact I got from the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere,¡¯ called the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo. With this protection, I was able to break into the final round.¡±


    Hearing Xiao Hei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in shock.


    In the entire Dance Tool Dao Academy, there was only one Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo!


    ¡°You got this thing from a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the principal personally helped me get it!¡±

 Chapter 1208 - Chapter 1208 Chapter 664 Treating Her as Ones Own Daughter

    Chapter 1208: Chapter 664: Treating Her as One¡¯s Own Daughter Chapter 1208: Chapter 664: Treating Her as One¡¯s Own Daughter ¡°Oh, if the principal took you to open it, then there¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, showed a look of realization on his face.


    After all, his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had also been opened with the help of Che Yucheng.


    The principal was a rank higher than Che Yucheng, so the guaranteed grade of the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± must also be higher.


    Even so, Chen Mobai, looking at the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo under Xiao Hei¡¯s feet, still felt a pang of envy.


    Because of the scarcity of resources, only Ancestor Yunya of the Dance Tool Dao Academy had succeeded in creating the complete form of this magic artifact, which was at the Fourth Stage Pinnacle.


    If combined with a formation and sufficient spiritual energy, it could even exert the power of Rank-5.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding, such an item should not possibly come from a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±.


    However, thinking about Xiao Hei¡¯s background, he came to terms with it.


    The Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, lying idle in the Treasure Trove, might as well be given to her. Not only would it find a master for this powerful magic artifact, but it could also protect her.


    In terms of defensive capabilities, this magic artifact ranked at the peak among Fourth-grade Magical Weapons.


    Although there were basically no dangers within the Immortal Gate, it was at least a token of concern from Master Chengxuan.


    Chen Mobai felt that Ancestor Baiguang of Wangxian Peak would definitely know about this.


    ¡°With the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, nobody among the rank of Foundation Establishment within the Immortal Gate should be able to break your defense.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew well the strength of a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon, as he had experienced during the Magic Duel in Jumang Academy; it was only with a Fourth Order Sword that Pei Qingshuang was able to battle him to a draw, forcing him to give it his all to narrowly claim victory.


    ¡°My cultivation level is insufficient; this magic artifact can only exert the power of a Lower-grade Rank-3 at most.¡±


    Xiao Hei stopped midair and spoke to Chen Mobai, saying that Master Chengxuan had even imposed a restriction to prevent her from being drained of spiritual power and unable to sustain the magic artifact.


    ¡°Actually, if a cultivator has a spiritual connection with a magic artifact, even without providing it with spiritual power, the artifact will automatically exhibit its power to help you overcome the enemy and win.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt an inexplicable affinity towards the girl before him and couldn¡¯t help but start to share his own story with the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Teacher, you are a once-in-a-millennium unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius of the Immortal Gate; I definitely can¡¯t compare to you.¡±


    Xiao Hei was self-aware and didn¡¯t dare to compare herself to him.


    ¡°You and I are also fated; I¡¯ll help you out¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it; as the future leader of Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was very important to cultivate a good relationship with Wangxian Peak, so he decided to make a sacrifice.


    He used Echoes in the Void to communicate with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, and at first the Artifact Spirit was somewhat aloof.


    Then, Chen Mobai reached out to touch the Five-Colored Light in front of him, stealthily retrieved a Water Spirit Pearl from his Domain, and inserted it into the artifact.


    In an instant, the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo burst out with unprecedented magnificent light, erupting from beneath Xiao Hei and spontaneously encircling Chen Mobai, lifting him up from his seated position.


    ¡°Take this pearl to nourish yourself, and if danger arises, remember to protect her.¡±


    As a Five Elements property artifact, Chen Mobai gave the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo a Water Spirit Pearl, equivalent to a Superior Quality Spirit Stone to refine, with only one condition.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, where she resides, I reside.¡±


    Through the communication of Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai saw that the Artifact Spirit was a colorful orb of light, which conveyed a rather bold statement.


    Xiao Hei, seeing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but open her mouth wide.


    She had had this magic artifact for nearly ten years but had never entered the innermost heart of the artifact, let alone communicated with the Artifact Spirit, which she had never even seen.


    Yet, with just a light movement of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense and a touch, he had already communicated his intentions with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.


    She even felt that, if Chen Mobai wished it, her magic artifact would immediately recognize him as its master.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already communicated with the Artifact Spirit¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai withdrew the hand that caressed the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and shared that he had arranged for this magic artifact to intervene and protect Xiao Hei in the most dangerous of times.


    At the same time, the Five-Colored Light also reluctantly returned to Xiao Hei¡¯s side.


    Hearing his words, Xiao Hei¡¯s face showed even greater shock.


    Is this the talent of the highest caliber in the Immortal Gate for a millennium?


    Even his technique in mastering artifacts is so impressive.


    Xiao Hei had not witnessed Chen Mobai inserting the pearl and internally compared her ten years of no progress with his achievements, feeling a profound respect and aspiration.


    Chen Mobai gestured with his hand, indicating that the time was almost up, and Xiao Hei should go prepare for tomorrow¡¯s Daoist Academy rankings.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡±


    As Xiao Hei thanked him and left, she looked at the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo under her feet and suddenly had a bold idea.


    ¡­


    Three days later, Chen Mobai, who was meditating in the Treasure Trove, was called to the principal¡¯s office by Che Yucheng.

    As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Hei with a dissatisfied look on her face. However, when she saw him, she immediately looked down in embarrassment.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Master Chengxuan and Che Yucheng with furrowed brows and a difficult expression on their faces, suddenly feeling as though he had done something wrong.


    ¡°This child took advantage of the pact you set with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo during your communication. She deliberately put herself in mortal danger during the Magic Duel, fought consecutive battles victoriously, defeated all her opponents, and won the championship!¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing what Che Yucheng said, was stunned and couldn¡¯t believe it.

 Chapter 1209 - Chapter 1209 Chapter 664 Treating Her as Ones Own Daughter_2

    Chapter 1209: Chapter 664: Treating Her as One¡¯s Own Daughter_2 Chapter 1209: Chapter 664: Treating Her as One¡¯s Own Daughter_2 He immediately glowered at Xiao Hei, who instantaneously shifted her feet and hid behind Master Cheng Xuan¡¯s table. Throughout her movement, she kept her head down, not daring to look at him.


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s my fault!¡±


    Chen Mobai felt an impulse to scold someone, but seeing the little girl with her head down in a meek and pitiable state, he found he couldn¡¯t bring himself to do it. After brewing for a long time, he could only come out with this sentence.


    ¡°You were well-intentioned; how can I blame you? It is only this child whose desire to win is too strong.¡±


    Master Cheng Xuan spoke up, thus characterizing the incident.


    ¡°Such an approach is absolutely unacceptable; the good swimmer drowns¡­¡±


    After finishing his words, Master Cheng Xuan began to teach Xiao Hei, who stood behind him. As soon as he started, Xiao Hei seemed a bit resentful and wanted to retort.


    Chen Mobai did not know what was happening but could not help glaring at her.


    As soon as she raised her head, Xiao Hei saw his gaze and immediately ducked down again, obediently listening to the lecture.


    Master Cheng Xuan talked and talked, and Che Yucheng also chimed in with his teachings, eventually Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help it either. All three of them started at the same time, giving Xiao Hei a stern reprimand.


    They stopped only when Xiao Hei¡¯s eyes welled up with tears, on the verge of weeping.


    ¡°Alas, we still have to tie up loose ends for you.¡±


    ¡°What, I can¡¯t take first place now?¡±


    Chen Mobai found Master Cheng Xuan¡¯s words somewhat strange.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t take it, but before this offline exchange, Kunpeng Daoist Institute had some communication with us. We agreed to offer a Rank-4 Vermillion Fruit to the first placer. Although we don¡¯t know why Bai Lang needs it, Nan Dou was willing to exchange an Azure Dragon Carp for it, so we agreed.¡±


    Che Yucheng revealed the details.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Azure Dragon Carp a protective spirit beast?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with some surprise after hearing this.


    ¡°In the Immortal Gate, it is protected, but within the domain of the Spiritual Venerable in the Sea Territory, it is still edible. If Bai Lang gets the Vermillion Fruit, she will earn a spot in the exchange program next year that Kunpeng Daoist Institute sends to the Sea Territory. If she¡¯s lucky, she can find enough Azure Dragon Carp to consume in the Sea Territory and raise her Water Spirit Root to over 80 points in less time.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words caused Xiao Hei on the side to raise her head involuntarily.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about this?¡±


    ¡°How would I know you¡¯d use the Evil Path to take first place?¡±


    In the eyes of Master Cheng Xuan and Che Yucheng, Xiao Hei was definitely not a match for Bai Lang, and they fully expected everything to go according to plan.


    But now that she suddenly swept all competitors with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, in the eyes of the other Daoist Academy¡¯s Scholarly Mansions, it seemed as if Dance Tool Dao Academy had reneged on their word, not sticking to the agreement.


    This could be very serious for the Daoist Academies, which always maintain trust through unspoken understanding, if not handled properly.


    ¡°What should we do?¡±


    Xiao Hei also became a bit anxious at this point. The Rank-4 Vermillion Fruit was of no use to her.


    The Azure Dragon Carps that could enhance her Water Spirit Root were what she needed most urgently.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t we just exchange the Vermillion Fruit for the Azure Dragon Carp directly?¡±


    Chen Mobai interjected.


    ¡°This creature has been designated as a protected spirit beast within the Immortal Gate, and it¡¯s illegal to eat it here. If you want to eat it to enhance the Water Spirit Root, you can only go to the Sea Territory. But what you said reminded me, as long as the final result is the same as planned, everything can still continue.¡±


    While Che Yucheng was speaking, he went out to call Nan Dou, a True Person from Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    This matter wasn¡¯t huge, but it wasn¡¯t trivial either; however, it wasn¡¯t something that Master Cheng Xuan needed to deal with personally.


    It was only when these Golden Core Masters couldn¡¯t handle it that the Nascent Soul Superiors would communicate directly.


    In no time at all, Che Yucheng returned, indicating everything had been sorted out.


    Next year, Xiao Hei would study at Kunpeng Daoist Institute, then go to the Sea Territory as an exchange student for further cultivation.


    There, she would use the Vermillion Fruit she had won this time to exchange with Bai Lang for the Azure Dragon Carp.


    ¡°The Azure Dragon Carp is quite valuable, and we can only arrange three for you, the rest you will need to strive for yourself. If you can manage to use the water of the Heavenly Realm Pure Water for refinement, you won¡¯t have to go through the hard times at Jumang Academy.¡±


    The most famous Spiritual Objects that can enhance a Water Spirit Root in the Immortal Gate are the Azure Dragon Carp and the Heavenly Spiritual Water.


    But even combined, they don¡¯t compare with the Heavenly Realm Pure Water, a supreme Spiritual Object condensed by the Spiritual Venerable, capable of directly creating a Heavenly Water Spirit Root.


    If Xiao Hei had started at Kunpeng Daoist Institute according to Yu Huiping¡¯s plan, she would have already been in the Sea Territory by now.


    ¡°Once there, without our protection, you must keep a low profile and control your temper¡­¡±


    After the offline sparring and exchange had ended, it signified Xiao Hei¡¯s graduation from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Time flew by so quickly, the last time Chen Mobai heard Che Yucheng mention her was ten years ago.


    Xiao Hei also turned somewhat sentimental upon hearing this. Over these ten years in the Daoist Academy, everything had gone smoothly for her, with the protection of Master Chengxuan and Che Yucheng, she felt the care of her elders. To suddenly leave now was too hard to bear.


    After discussing this matter, Master Chengxuan and Che Yucheng had other issues to attend to, so Chen Mobai took Xiao Hei and left Building One.


    He walked her down the mountain steps, both unsure how to start a conversation, silent and speechless.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    ¡°Take out the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.¡±


    Suddenly, they both spoke at the same time. Xiao Hei¡¯s apology took Chen Mobai by slight surprise.


    He smiled lightly. He had already lectured her, so he didn¡¯t say much more.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat worried that, after the energy consumption from this round of sparring, the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo might not protect her in the face of danger in the future, so he wanted to communicate with the Artifact Spirit again.


    Although Xiao Hei didn¡¯t understand why, she obediently handed over the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo to him.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    With Listening with Empty Valley Echo, Chen Mobai heard the Artifact Spirit¡¯s query.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°You must have used quite a bit of energy protecting this child, right?¡±


    Artifact Spirit: ¡°Indeed, those three opponents were quite formidable. I¡¯ll need about one-tenth of that Pearl¡¯s Water Spirit Qi to replenish. Continuing like this won¡¯t do¡­¡±


    The Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo Artifact Spirit had only conveyed half its thought when Chen Mobai stuffed another five Pearls into it.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This child is about to head to the Sea Territory, and I don¡¯t know much about the situation there. You¡¯ll be the only one by her side, I hope you can take good care of her.¡±


    Artifact Spirit: ¡°True Person, rest assured, from now on I¡¯ll protect her as if she were my own daughter.¡±


    Feeling the five Pearls loaded with pure and vast Water Spirit Qi entering its core, the Artifact Spirit immediately modified its words, which somewhat reassured Chen Mobai.


    For some reason, whenever he saw Xiao Hei, he felt a sense of intimacy, probably because he had held her as a child.


    Or maybe knowing she came from Wangxian Peak, and as a teacher of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was his duty to take good care of her. That way, when he later visited Ancestor Baiguang, he could earn some favor.


    Perhaps Ancestor Baiguang would see this favor and reveal the mysteries and intricacies of One Sword Births Ten Thousand Laws.


    Both emotionally and rationally, Chen Mobai felt he should take good care of Xiao Hei.


    After ¡°communicating¡± with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, the Magic Artifact suddenly opened its core to Xiao Hei, allowing her Divine Sense to enter and start communicating with the Artifact Spirit.


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve been so good to me!¡±


    Xiao Hei knew all of this was thanks to Chen Mobai, and her pure and lovely face couldn¡¯t help but show excitement.


    ¡°Since you call me ¡®Teacher,¡¯ you are considered my disciple. Before you go to the Sea Territory, let me, as your teacher, give you two more pieces of advice. Do not try to stand out in unfamiliar places; the path of cultivation is about who lives the longest, who travels the farthest¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai spoke some heartfelt words of advice, drawing from his own experience.


    ¡°Teacher, didn¡¯t you use to sweep through the Immortal Gate with your sword when you were young?¡±


    Xiao Hei didn¡¯t quite understand. Looking back at Chen Mobai¡¯s nearly four decades from Foundation Establishment to the present, the words ¡®low-profile¡¯ seemed utterly unconnected to him.


    ¡°Actually, that was always my true nature. I just wanted to farm and protect my hometown. It¡¯s just that there was no one else in the academy who could stand up, which forced me to draw my sword and restore the past glory!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s wistful words significantly increased Xiao Hei¡¯s admiration for him.

 Chapter 1210 - Chapter 1210 Chapter 665 Another Nascent Soul with a Dance

    Chapter 1210: Chapter 665: Another Nascent Soul with a Dance Instruments Background Chapter 1210: Chapter 665: Another Nascent Soul with a Dance Instruments Background Before graduation approached, the Dance Tool Dao Academy hosted a seminar.


    Qin Beichen, a teacher within the academy, invited the well-known alumnus Chen Mobai to give a talk on the Divine Transformation Technique ¡°Pure Yang Volume.¡±


    As it happened, a hands-on exchange had just concluded, and most people had not yet left. When they heard that Chen Mobai, with his qualifications for Deification, was actually coming, they all hurriedly used their connections to reserve tickets for the seminar.


    Particularly, Pang Yingru, the genius with a Mysterious Yang Spirit Body from the Pure Yang Academy.


    During Chen Mobai and Qin Beichen¡¯s seminar, this person was listening with the utmost seriousness and attentiveness.


    His Mysterious Yang Spirit Body was a weakened version of the Pure Yang Body, but even so, his cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll benefited from an exceptional natural advantage, as starting with the Mysterious Yang Spirit Body was equivalent to having already attained the Four Yang Realm of the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    This could save at least a decade or two of time compared to an average student.


    Moreover, the most important aspect was that this type of Spirit Body inherently contained a strand of Xuan Yang Qi, which, though not as good as the Heavenly Spiritual Root, would still be beneficial when forming a Gold Core in the future.


    After the seminar ended, Pang Yingru still had many questions accumulated from his daily practice that he wanted to consult with Chen Mobai about. However, just as he was about to raise his hand to ask, he was stopped by Xiao Hei, who was in charge of managing the event.


    ¡°The teacher is very busy, do not disturb his time.¡±


    As someone with a Pure Yin Body, Xiao Hei naturally didn¡¯t get along with Pang Yingru, who had a Mysterious Yang Spirit Body, finding him disagreeable in every way.


    Moreover, combined with the historical issues between Pure Yang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy, their sparring could only be described as bringing out the True Fire in them.


    Xiao Hei¡¯s opponent in the quarterfinals was him, and that was exactly why she fought so desperately to win, eventually unleashing the power of Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo. In the end, unable to control her desire for victory, she claimed the championship all the way¡­


    ¡°Let him come over.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai noticed this and, though he had his share of disputes with Pure Yang Academy in his youth, now that he was a Golden Core Master, his perspective had broadened. Seeing a talented successor eager to progress, he couldn¡¯t help wanting to offer some guidance.


    Xiao Hei had no choice but to let Pang Yingru through, who, as Chen Mobai and Qin Beichen were preparing to leave the venue, bowed respectably and began to nervously ask about the dilemmas he encountered in his practice.


    Pure Yang Academy, although it claimed to be the direct lineage of the Yuanyang Ancestor, had very few individuals who truly practiced the Pure Yang Scroll within the entire academy.


    After all, the Pure Yang Scroll was easy to learn but hard to master. The further one progressed, the more time and energy one needed to invest. Without resources, just perfecting the Pure Yang Daoist Body could exhaust all the devotion a cultivator had.


    Even a Core Formation genius like Qin Beichen eventually gave up in disappointment, to say nothing of the people from Pure Yang Academy.


    Because it had almost no barrier to entry, the Pure Yang Scroll was considered to have the largest number of practitioners among all the Immortal Gate, providing the most extensive sample size for the Divine Transformation Technique.


    Furthermore, with well-developed channels for seeking advice within the Immortal Gate, cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll only needed to compare their progress to understand whether they could complete the Pure Yang Scroll within their lifetime.


    This Cultivation Technique, during the stages of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, didn¡¯t require an exceedingly long time. Any genius could perfect it.


    But after Core Formation, if one lacked resources like Spirit Stones for assistance¨Capart from those with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, who could focus most of their energy on refining a single breath of Pure Yang and cut the time in half¨Cthe rest of the cultivators, faced with their snail¡¯s pace progress, would typically succumb to despair.


    The headmaster of Pure Yang Academy, Nangong Xuanyu, touted as the number one Golden Core of the Immortal Gate, possessed a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    It was precisely for this reason he could cultivate both the Pure Yang Scroll and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret to Golden Core Perfection, yet even so, it was said that his Pure Yang Daoist Body had not yet reached Perfection, only the Nine Suns Realm.


    And Pang Yingru was currently grappling with this issue.


    His Mysterious Yang Spirit Body saved him at least ten years before Foundation Establishment.


    But after Foundation Establishment, as he tried practicing the Pure Yang Daoist Body, he found that he would need at least fifty or sixty years to reach the Six Yang Realm.


    Had it just been this amount of time, he would have been able to afford the investment.


    But the problem was the realms from Seven Yang to Nine Yang after forming the Core.


    The fastest in recorded history of the Immortal Gate took 86 years, and even with his Mysterious Yang Spirit Body, Pang Yingru still doubted whether he could complete the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After all, in addition to the Pure Yang Daoist Body, the Spiritual Power Realm of the Pure Yang Scroll itself demanded even more time.


    ¡°If after forming the Core, you need to switch cultivation techniques, I think it might even be better to switch now. The time saved could be used to further enhance your Essence, Qi, and Spirit, or other skills. With your talent, you might even have a chance to attempt ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ one day.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Qin Beichen, who was by his side, spoke first. Although he had switched to Scorching Heaven Cultivation, he had wasted at least twenty years. Had he switched before forming his Core, or had he not practiced the Pure Yang Scroll from the start, he even confidently believed that he could now have broken through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    If he had reached the Golden Core Seventh Layer, he wouldn¡¯t need Chen Mobai¡¯s help; he could have secured the guardianship qualifications for the Fifth-Rank Zhu Fruit Tree all on his own.


    ¡°With your Mysterious Yang Spirit Body, practicing methods like the Heavenly Sun Great Method or True Yang Cultivation, there¡¯s no difference between reaching the Nascent Soul Realm and the Pure Yang Scroll. In fact, without the encumbrance of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, it might even be faster.¡±


    ¡°The only difference is that it can only go as far as the Nascent Soul.¡±


    ¡°But in the entire Immortal Gate, probably only Mobai might have a chance to reach divinity using the Pure Yang Scroll. From my own experience, I advise you to seize the current opportunities rather than to aim too high and end up missing out.¡±

 Chapter 1211 - Chapter 1211 Chapter 665 Another Nascent Soul with a Dance

    Chapter 1211: Chapter 665: Another Nascent Soul with a Dance Instruments Background_2 Chapter 1211: Chapter 665: Another Nascent Soul with a Dance Instruments Background_2 Although Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy were at odds, Qin Beichen, as a former member, still generously gave guidance to Pang Yingru, hoping that this promising student would not waste too much time on the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Qin, for your guidance.¡±


    Pang Yingru listened and humbly accepted the advice, but he was still eagerly waiting for Chen Mobai, who was silent next to him, to speak.


    ¡°I, on the other hand, think that with your Mysterious Yang Spirit Body, it would be a great waste not to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    Chen Mobai, being an ordinary cultivator, was well aware of the difficulties of cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, but he had started by using spirit stones for full-efficiency enhancement, and forty years later to this day, he had already cultivated to the Eighth Yang Body.


    ¡°If you can successfully form your core within sixty years, you will be just in time for the next pioneering war. At that time, the Immortal Sect will definitely open up normally regulated resources like spirit stones.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re lucky enough to find a spirit stone mine in a different world, you might just gain enough resources to fully cultivate to the perfection of the Pure Yang Daoist Body.¡±


    ¡°As an Immortal Sect Disciple, since you have the opportunity for Divinity Transformation, even if it¡¯s incredibly slim, I still hope you can push yourself towards this goal with all your might.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words brightened Pang Yingru¡¯s eyes and filled his heart with unprecedented hope.


    ¡°Most importantly, you still need sixty years to have a chance at core formation. By then, if the different world you encounter is a resource-barren Dead Star, it will still be early enough to give up the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    After hearing these two reasons, Pang Yingru no longer had any doubts and solemnly thanked both Chen Mobai and Qin Beichen.


    ¡°Thank you both for your guidance.¡±


    After this interlude, a few more students came over for advice.


    Chen Mobai and his companion also provided their opinions one by one; being Golden Core Masters, they had a much broader perspective and insight than those at the Foundation Establishment level, and they could generally help the students gain something.


    However, aside from Pang Yingru, none of the second-generation students like Xiao Hei came over for advice.


    After all, such talents could always consult Golden Core Masters in the school and had already understood the paths most likely to lead them to the peak.


    Chen Mobai had initially wanted to meet Bai Guang and Crystal, but after the exchange ended, these two beings from the sea territories immediately left the Red City Cave Heaven, leaving him a bit regretful.


    After the symposium ended, it was time for the graduation ceremony.


    Chen Mobai was invited to attend and even gave the closing speech as a notable alumnus.


    Besides him, Xiao Hei, representing the graduates, took the stage at the beginning, making the two of them bookends of the event.


    After the ceremony ended, many students from the Daoist Academy came up wanting to take photos with Chen Mobai, and he gladly obliged each request.


    Next, during the internal vote held by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, there were no surprises; Qin Beichen, supported by Chen Mobai, received most of the votes and was elected to be the guardian of the Fifth-Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree after Duanmu Longrong.


    Having completed these two tasks, Chen Mobai planned to book his ticket back to Red Sandstone City.


    However, Master Chengxuan asked him to wait two more days because Daoist Yu Yi was about to bring his team here to start the Blooming Moment experiment.


    Before that, as one of the experimenters, he needed to make a will, which Chen Mobai was to witness.


    Chen Mobai had initially planned to leave with Xiao Hei on the same day, but reluctantly, he had to let her go to the train station alone.


    ¡°Remember my words next year when you go to the sea territories, do not be overly competitive¡­¡±


    At the school gate, when Chen Mobai bid farewell to Xiao Hei, he couldn¡¯t help but speak out again. She nodded repeatedly, then looked back repeatedly with a reluctant gaze at the Daoist Academy where she had strived for ten years, as she dragged her suitcase away.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why, but watching her leave with tears barely visible in her eyes, he felt an indescribable sense of reluctance.


    Is it because I¡¯m getting older?


    Can¡¯t bear to see these farewells anymore?


    Chen Mobai, who was nearly sixty, thought of an explanation for his inexplicable emotions.


    The day after bidding farewell to Xiao Hei, the Immortal Sect team led by Daoist Yu Yi arrived, and Master Chengxuan, along with Che Yucheng and Chen Mobai, personally welcomed them.


    Then they confirmed the will of Master Chengxuan, in case anything unexpected happened during the experiment.


    Another Nascent Soul Superior from the Lingbao Study Palace, namely Yuxiao Superior, also participated and witnessed Master Chengxuan making his will from afar.


    This was also Chen Mobai¡¯s first encounter with this individual.


    Yuxiao Superior¡¯s origins were somewhat complex and obscure, being the most low-profile among the fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Gate.


    Nevertheless, as Chen Mobai was now broadly recognized as the future leader of Dance Tool Dao Academy, after querying, Master Chengxuan did not conceal these secrets from him.


    Yuxiao Superior was a transformed Spiritual Treasure!


    Initially, she was a student at Lingbao Study Palace, named Jiang Xuanzhu, who had entered Dance Tool Dao Academy to study, and she had found this Magic Artifact in the Treasure Trove.


    Although in the Treasure Trove, most of the Rank-3 and Rank-4 Magic Artifacts were under the control of the academy, some very ancient ones were not scattered about in the form of ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± but were nurtured in their original forms within Spiritual Cave Pivot.


    Yuxiao was one of them.


    This Fourth Grade Superior Magic Artifact, traceable back to the ancient times of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, was found by Jiang Xuanzhu in the Treasure Trove and was not publicized by her, but hidden away.


    Later, she even used this artifact to complete ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± turning Yuxiao into her life-bound artifact, and with the help of this ancient and powerful artifact, she continuously broke through realms and, upon acquiring Gold Elixir Spirit Medicine, succeeded in one fell swoop.


    Afterward, it took her 160 years to cultivate to the Ninth Layer of Golden Core.


    Jiang Xuanzhu, unable to wait for the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, decided during her peak of essence, qi, and spirit to force through to the Nascent Soul Realm with ¡°The Union of Differences¡± aided by her life-bound Yuxiao.


    She failed!


    She did not transcend the ¡°Heart Demon Tribulation,¡± and both her body and spirit perished.


    However, Yuxiao, by virtue of the pact formed between the two, took over her body after her death, and successfully transcended this tribulation.


    After forming her Nascent Soul, she needed to pay her respects to the Huashen Ancestor.


    Yuxiao Superior¡¯s situation could naturally no longer be concealed, and it is unknown what she confessed to the two ancestors, Baiguang and Qian Xing, but anyway, she passed the review and descended from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Subsequently, Yuxiao Superior Jiang Xuanzhu became the principal of Lingbao Study Palace, but her origin was still communicated to Master Chengxuan by Ancestor Baiguang.


    Following that, Master Chengxuan personally swept through the Treasure Trove to prevent such an occurrence again.


    After the will was confirmed, Yuxiao Superior¡¯s figure dissolved in the middle of the office, and Daoist Yu Yi, led by Che Yucheng, went to the deepest part of the Treasure Trove, in Yuping Small Realm, to start preparing for the Blooming Moment experiment.


    In the end, only Master Chengxuan and Chen Mobai were left in the office, the former divulged to Chen Mobai about Yuxiao Superior¡¯s origins.


    ¡°This matter is only known to the Nascent Souls in this academy.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was visibly shocked; he had not expected that Yuxiao Superior¡¯s origins could be so mystical.


    ¡°As for the Magic Artifact, should there be a way to trace its history?¡±


    As everything placed in the Treasure Trove was registered, Chen Mobai could not help but ask.


    ¡°This Magic Artifact is too ancient. Later, based on the traces left by Jiang Xuanzhu¡¯s activities, I located where Yuxiao was nurtured and investigated the remaining restrictions nearby and discovered that it was possibly placed there directly by Ancestor Yun Ya.¡±


    After hesitating for a moment, thinking of the academy¡¯s future in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, Master Chengxuan disclosed his findings.


    Considering this, Chen Mobai somewhat understood why the two ancestors, Baiguang and Qian Xing, allowed Yuxiao to descend from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    ¡°You should not delve too deeply into this matter; the two ancestors certainly have higher-level considerations. You just need to know that Yuxiao Superior Jiang Xuanzhu is one of ours from Dance Tool Dao Academy. Even if I were to leave, you could still use her name to exert influence.¡±


    ¡°Why would I borrow her name when I could borrow Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s? The ancestor is a bona fide graduate of the academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite understand Master Chengxuan¡¯s words.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Well, the ancestor has been quiet for decades now! Moreover, the ancestor enjoys solitude and hates being bothered by all sorts of miscellaneous matters.¡±


    Master Chengxuan replied somewhat vexedly, not revealing that he had tried to contact Ancestor Baiguang three times in the past hundred years without any response.


    ¡°I see¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai thought about leveraging the favor on Xiao Hei in hopes that it might be of use when he eventually goes to visit Ancestor Baiguang at Wangxian Peak.


    However, as someone with the qualifications for Deification Transformation, if he really formed his Nascent Soul and went to pay respect to the ancestor as a burgeoning symbol of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s future, surely the ancestor would be delighted.

 Chapter 1212 - Chapter 1212 Chapter 666 The Technique of Demon Foetus

    Chapter 1212: Chapter 666: The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation Chapter 1212: Chapter 666: The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation After dealing with matters at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai originally planned to rush back to Red Sandstone City, but he was delayed by another Golden Core Master.


    This person was none other than Chu Chuanhua from the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory. Chen Mobai had once consulted him about the Return to the Sun Spirit Water; Chu was also present because the academy was voting to elect the next caretaker of the Fifth-Rank Zhu Fruit Tree.


    As Chen Mobai had mastered the Illusory Thunder, he invited Chu to see if it was possible to refine the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    However, Chu Chuanhua suggested that it would be better to seek the help of an alchemist from Jumang Academy to handle the refinement.


    Due to the myriad alchemy recipes within the Immortal Gate, no single alchemist could master them all; they generally focused on learning and expanding in the areas they were most interested in.


    Especially at higher levels, due to the scarcity of resources, the Immortal Gate always had professionals handle their respective specializations to minimize failures and waste.


    For example, Chu Chuanhua specialized in Fire Attribute Elixirs. The Fire Elemental Gold Core Pill within the Immortal Gate was primarily refined by him.


    As for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, although he had studied it, he was unsure if he could produce a product that met the Immortal Gate¡¯s standards and was free of Dan Poison.


    ¡°Jumang Academy also has a specialized Thunder Pool specifically for refining this Spirit Water, and combined with the pure Spirit Qi of a Fourth-order Water Vein, they have full confidence in producing the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations¡­¡±


    After hearing Chu Chuanhua¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai suddenly understood.


    Relying on the Green Charm Spiritual Tea and the Flame Lighting Technique, Chen Mobai no longer worried about Dan Poison, but if he were to seek a cooperative refinement within the Immortal Gate, handling Dan Poison would be unavoidable.


    Although he had reasons and excuses to offer some Spiritual Extract, it was clearly not a long-term solution.


    After the discussion with Chu Chuanhua, during his journey back, Chen Mobai made a call to Wen Ren Xuewei.


    ¡°There are three alchemists in our academy who can handle the refinement, but it requires that specific Thunder Pool, and after the refinement, the allocation of the product is managed by the dean, considering how useful this substance is for Spirit Plants.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei candidly stated that if she intervened, and with Chen Mobai¡¯s influence, obtaining some Water of Ten Thousand Transformations shouldn¡¯t be an issue, but getting Jumang Academy to personally refine it was virtually impossible.


    ¡°You also know the dean¡¯s ambitions. If she wants to progress further, the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations is the best Elixir for her, so that Thunder Pool is primarily reserved for her use.¡±


    Initially, the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations from Jumang Academy was intended for the Great Chun Divine Tree, but after reaching Sixth Rank, it became entirely unnecessary. Later, the Peach Blossom Sage transformed and specifically learned alchemy to monopolize it.


    Only when unavoidable requests came did she share some of it.


    Understanding Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s difficulty, Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic, stating that after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he had plenty of time and was also learning alchemy. He wondered if there were other tricks to refining the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    Wen Ren Xuewei replied, ¡°The main issue is still that Thunder Pool, originally custom-ordered from your Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Tiangong Instrument Factory. However, after several upgrades, it can nearly automate, and I¡¯ll see if I can find the blueprints¡­¡±


    Being the top-ranked school of Water Method Alchemy within the Immortal Gate and possessing the unique advantage of a Fifth Grade Water Vein, nearly all top-ranked Water Method Elixirs were produced by Jumang Academy¡¯s Empty Green Pharmacy Factory.


    With over thirty Fourth-order Medicine Pools, including the Wanhua Thunder Pool part of these.


    About half an hour later, Wen Ren Xuewei sent over a compressed file containing the complete set of blueprints for the Wanhua Thunder Pool, which had been continuously optimized over thousands of years.


    Wen Ren Xuewei suggested, ¡°You can have your Daoist Academy¡¯s Tiangong Instrument Factory experts take a look and try creating a simplified version of the Thunder Pool to practice the refining process. Once you advance to a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, I¡¯ll find a way to arrange a retreat for the dean so you can use the Fourth-Rank Thunder Pool at the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory.¡±


    Building a complete Fourth-grade Wanhua Thunder Pool involved significant investment, which was why Jumang Academy constructed it and continued evolving it through centuries of experience.


    Considering these factors, Wen Ren Xuewei gave a very considerate suggestion with Chen Mobai¡¯s interests in mind.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    However, as Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude, he wondered if the Divine Wood Sect could build this Wanhua Thunder Pool.


    And for refining the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, it also required at least Fourth-rank Water Pulse Spirit Qi.

    This posed a bit of a challenge, as the only Fourth-rank Water Veins in the Eastern Wilderness were at the Snow-blowing Palace and Wind Rain Hamlet, neither of which was under the control of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, given the relationship between the Divine Wood Sect and the Wind Rain Hamlet, borrowing their Fourth-order Water Vein shouldn¡¯t be an issue, but it was always a bit unsettling not to have one¡¯s own.


    Hoping that Zhou Shengqing would advance to Nascent Soul Formation soon and swiftly reintegrate the Five Elements Sect, or perhaps slay the Poisonous Dragon in the heart of Yun Meng Ze, they could then gain access to the Fifth-Grade Spirit Vein level of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai immediately used the Turtle Treasure and returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Upon receiving the news of his ¡°emergence,¡± Yue Zutao came over immediately to report the recent happenings in the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 1213 - Chapter 1213 Chapter 666 The Technique of Demon Foetus

    Chapter 1213: Chapter 666: The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation_2 Chapter 1213: Chapter 666: The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation_2 ¡°Strong fluctuations of Spiritual Energy have emerged from the Snow-blowing Palace¡­¡±


    ¡°Back to Sky Valley is collecting medicinal herbs from all the Immortal Cultivation families and Sects across the Eastern Wilderness, it seems they intend to refine top-ranked elixirs¡­¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country is nearing depletion, according to the investigations of the Spirit Vein Division, and at most, the core area can only be mined for another four or five years¡­¡±


    ¡°Sheng Zhaoxi of the Five Elements Sect, who possesses the Fire Attribute, has healed from his injuries and plans to refine an even more outstanding Defensive Magic Weapon, but he lacks some top-ranked ores and would like our Sect to help collect them¡­¡±


    ¡°The Demonic Beasts in Yun Meng Ze have started stirring again, although mainly around Dongwu¡­¡±


    What awaited Chen Mobai were major issues, while Sect Leader Yue Zutao had already taken care of the various minor matters himself.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°The affairs of the Snow-blowing Palace are other people¡¯s business, even if they discover new Spirit Stone Veins, we have no reason to contend for them. Just have the people from the Spirit Vein Division pay a little attention and report back to me once there¡¯s a result.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Do we have a catalog of the medicinal herbs Back to Sky Valley is collecting?¡±


    Yue Zutao nodded and handed a prepared list to Chen Mobai. Yan Shaoyin didn¡¯t seem to intend to hide anything, as all the items on it were medicinal herbs needed for three Elixir Recipes obtained from the Longevity Elixir Scripture.


    Chen Mobai took a pen and circled several key main ingredients of the Infant-Feeding Elixir: ¡°Inform me once Back to Sky Valley has gathered these.¡±


    Yue Zutao, ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    The intermediate-grade Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country was something Zhou Shengqing had forcibly wrested from the hands of the Five Elements Sect when the families split. It yielded nearly three to four million Spirit Stones annually. Moreover, it was the sole source of Superior Quality Spirit Stones for the few Nascent Soul Ancestors of the two families.


    What Yue Zutao referred to as ¡°depletion¡± meant the central part of the vein where Superior Quality and intermediate-grade Spirit Stones lay, while the Low-grade ones on the outskirts could still be mined for over a decade.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°If the Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country is exhausted, our Sect will face issues with its source of Superior Quality Spirit Stones. However, there¡¯s nothing we can do but find a way to compensate from other aspects. Have the Spirit Vein Division expedite their exploration of the territories under our Sect¡¯s dominion across the seven countries, to see if new Spirit Stone Veins can be found.¡±


    Yue Zutao took note but suggested that within the Sect, Zhuo Ming was the most skilled Earth Master. Could they ask her to postpone her projects on the Eastern Desolation Plateau and lead the Spirit Vein Division to look for Spirit Stone Veins first?


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Do not bring this up again; even ten Spirit Stone Mines are not as important as what Ming¡¯er is currently undertaking.¡±


    Chen Mobai decisively refused. As a person from Immortal Gate, he knew that mining would only bring temporary wealth, whereas only fertile territories and solid enterprises could help a Sect flourish!


    He was even considering, after finding Spirit Stone Veins, not to mine them right away, but to see if they could be converted into cultivation Spiritual Lands or Spirit Fields through the methods of an Earth Master, benefiting more Cultivators.


    After all, Spirit Stones would be gone once used, but if converted into Spiritual Lands and Spirit Fields, with the help of Formations and such, they could achieve sustainable development.


    ¡°Sheng Zhaoxi must be treated with respect. We¡¯ll need her to counter the Five Elements Sect in the future. We should collect on behalf of our Sect within the territories of the seven countries under our command. However, it would be best for her to send a Disciple over to take charge of this matter, and we will cooperate.


    ¡°As for the Yun Meng Ze situation, let Meng Hong stay stationed there and not return for the time being. If there¡¯s another surge of Demonic Beasts like last time, notify the Sect immediately, and I will personally lead the Sect¡¯s Cultivators to assist.¡±


    After dealing with all major matters, Chen Mobai then went to the Longevity Wood Dojo where Zhou Shengqing was in closed-door cultivation.


    After chatting with Fu Zongjue¡¯s Purple Sun Puppet at the entrance, he learned that everything was proceeding smoothly.


    Zhou Shengqing had reached the nineteenth layer of the Longevity Scripture, transforming into the Legal Body Nascent Soul, and now only needed to convert all his Spiritual Power into Longevity True Qi to successfully conclude his cultivation.


    With the help of the two thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones sent in by Fu Zongjue, he was likely to achieve this by the end of the year.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt greatly reassured.


    ¡°The moment Brother Zhaoxi¡¯s Nascent Soul achieves completion, the entire strategic layout of the Eastern Wilderness will be set!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with hope, and beside him, Fu Zongjue, also imagining the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s bountiful future ruling over the Eastern Wilderness, couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    But halfway through his laughter, Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body suddenly stiffened with a smile that turned into a grimace of grief and anger.


    In the hall where the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s revered Soul Lanterns were housed.


    The True Body of Fu Zongjue stood before one of the extinguished Soul Lanterns, fists clenched, body trembling unceasingly.


    Not long after, Chen Mobai, who had received the news, also arrived.


    ¡­


    In the Eastern Wilderness, within the forbidden grounds of the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Kong Lingling opened her eyes, and the ice encasing her body cracked and shattered, scattering in all directions.


    A trace of contentment emerged on her beautiful face, as the ice-blue Spiritual Power around her body continuously flickered. Her aura had already crossed the bottleneck; she had become a Cultivator in the Core Formation Late Stage.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally made the breakthrough.¡±


    Kong Lingling had reached Core Formation nearly two hundred years ago. To achieve such success was considered quite respectable in the history of the Snow-blowing Palace.


    However, with her natural talent, it was basically impossible to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage, let alone to achieve Core Formation at all.


    All this was thanks to an encounter with an eccentric individual two hundred years ago, who directed her to this mysterious forbidden land.


    Located within a mysterious cave at the border of Frost Country and Snow Country, it concealed a very powerful Ice Vein.


    For other Cultivators, this place was a dead end, but for her, it was an unparalleled sacred ground for practicing Ice Heaven Cultivation.


    It was also with the help of this place that she was able to achieve Core Formation and even cultivate to her current Realm.


    After breaking through to the Core Formation Late Stage, her greed for a higher realm grew even greater.


    Nascent Soul!


    But she also knew that to reach such a realm, she needed to explore the true secrets of this Ice Vein.


    After two hundred years of familiarity, Kong Lingling had more or less learned the origin of this place.


    It was here that an Ancient Ancestor of Ice once sealed a powerful Mother Locust, and the strong Spiritual Energy that had been channeling the Spirit Veins over the years transformed into this Ice Vein.


    And if Kong Lingling wanted to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± her only chance would be within the seal.


    Two hundred years ago, the odd person who directed her here had also given her a sinister Cultivation Technique.


    It was called ¡°The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation!¡±


    This technique allowed her to use her own body as a matrix, nurturing a powerful demon beast¡¯s fetus as an External Incarnation. If the fetus¡¯s true form was strong, after refining it, she could not only use it for Magic Duels but could even enhance her own body¡¯s strength in return, advancing even further.


    Kong Lingling arrived at the deepest part of the cave where a snow-white ice wall blocked the path, the seal put in place by the old ancestor of Ice.


    She deployed her Innate Ice Heaven Spiritual Power, and her figure slowly merged into the ice wall. After passing through, she entered the sealed area.


    Occupying the center of the seal was a Mother Locust that, over thousands of years, had turned into a skeleton.


    But beneath the skeleton lay a white jade egg, flickering with Spiritual Light.


    And beside this white jade egg was tied a gaunt young man.


    His wrists were slit, and droplets of blood traveled through a fine ice tube, falling onto the white jade egg, nourishing its vitality.


    ¡°Well done.¡±


    Kong Lingling approached the young man, who was hanging onto his last breath, and looked at the white jade egg flourishing with life after being watered with essence blood, a bewitching smile appearing on her gorgeous face.


    The young man struggled to open his eyes, and seeing Kong Lingling¡¯s aura more vigorous than before, a look of desperation appeared on his face.


    ¡°You¡­ have broken through¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Correct, after reaching the Core Formation Late Stage, I can refine this white jade egg into my body to nurture it. In just ten years, my child will be able to hatch, and at that time, I¡¯ll have an incarnation with the strength of a Fourth Order Demon Beast. As the final piece for my child¡¯s revival, I¡¯ll make your Divine Wood Sect the first East Wilderness Major Sect to be obliterated by it!¡±


    As Kong Lingling spoke, she lifted the white jade egg and refined it into her body.


    At that moment, the young man¡¯s essence blood had been completely drained. But Kong Lingling didn¡¯t waste his last bit of value. Using the Demonic Way Secret Method recorded in ¡°The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation,¡± she extracted his final Yuan Yang as well, combining it with her Original Yin within the white jade egg to begin the condensation of the demon fetus.


    Undoubtedly, this was a Demonic Way Secret Method. Kong Lingling had some guesses about the odd person who initially directed her, but by now, she was no longer willing to turn back.


    As the young man¡¯s body turned into a dry corpse and fell, dozens of other male Cultivators¡¯ bodies with the same Fire Attribute lay beside him, all of them drained of their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

 Chapter 1214 - Chapter 1214 Chapter 667 Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved

    Chapter 1214: Chapter 667 Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved Chapter 1214: Chapter 667 Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved Fu Xingzhou had been missing for more than thirty years, and in the end, his soul lantern extinguished, plunging Fu Zongjue into despair, all hope faded.


    Chen Mobai could only offer his consolation.


    He then instructed all members of the Divine Wood Sect outside to investigate matters related to Fu Xingzhou.


    However, both he and Fu Zongjue knew that after more than thirty years without news, now that he was dead, it was even less likely they would find anything.


    In his grief, Fu Zongjue went to Yun Meng Ze and slaughtered a large group of demonic beasts to vent his anger.


    Chen Mobai could only respond with a bitter smile.


    But it was also because Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul had completed its transformation, otherwise Fu Zongjue would not have left.


    And after he went to Yun Meng Ze, he relieved Mo Douguang, who had been stationed at Wind Rain Hamlet, and informed him of the situation.


    Upon receiving this news, Mo Douguang immediately took the teleportation array to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai personally received him and led him to the entrance of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo, where Mo Douguang silently sat down at the entrance to act as protector for Zhou Shengqing.


    Time quickly approached the end of the year.


    That day, Chen Mobai was discussing a newly-received piece of news with Yue Zutao.


    Suddenly, a slight earthquake occurred across Giant Tree Ridge, followed by the surging spiritual energy accumulated by the Array of Ten Thousand Woods boiling over into a sky full of colorful light, pouring toward Zhou Shengqing¡¯s closed-off Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    He immediately transformed into Escaping Light and flew over.


    Another Golden Core Spiritual Light also flew over from not far away.


    Half a month earlier, Fu Zongjue had also returned, knowing that Zhou Shengqing was about to emerge from seclusion.


    In front of the Longevity Wood Dojo, the tall and straight Mo Douguang, standing at the entrance, nodded lightly as a greeting when he saw the two approaching.


    ¡°Senior Brother has finally succeeded!¡±


    Fu Zongjue, feeling the tremendous and vast fluctuations of spiritual energy around, couldn¡¯t help but be immensely excited.


    Accompanied by a clear, long cry, Zhou Shengqing, dressed in an ancient Daoist robe, flew down from the trees. His robe fluttered with the wind, like a dancing crane.


    As he landed before them, he couldn¡¯t help but grin, revealing his snow-white teeth which, coupled with his somewhat translucent fair complexion and physique, gave Chen Mobai a sense of profound unfathomability, like a fresh breeze.


    ¡°Greetings to Zhou Laozu!¡±


    According to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, once Zhou Shengqing achieved Nascent Soul Formation, his seniority rose by another generation, so they had to address him as Laozu.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formality, just call me Senior Brother.¡±


    But Zhou Shengqing shook his head, his current realm had been achieved entirely with the support of the three before him.


    And, just like a Heterodox Golden Core, having the power of a Nascent Soul did not grant him the lifespan of one.


    However, as he cultivated the Longevity Scripture, each major realm breakthrough would grant him an additional sixty years of lifespan, and this time was no exception.


    Thus, Zhou Shengqing could use the power of a Legal Body Nascent Soul to protect the Divine Wood Sect for three hundred years.


    For the Divine Wood Sect, this was like a Sky-Pillaring White Jade Column, a tremendous support!


    After all, of the three Nascent Souls in the East Barbarians, aside from the one at Sun Bathing Sea, the others likely wouldn¡¯t live longer than Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Congratulations, Senior Brother!¡±


    Since Zhou Shengqing had said so, the three naturally wouldn¡¯t fuss and continued to address each other as brothers.


    ¡°Should we announce this to the entire Eastern Wilderness and invite the Five Elements Sect of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace for an audience?¡±


    Fu Zongjue was the first to ask, following tradition. Nascent Soul Cultivators were naturally the undisputed rulers of this Eastern Wasteland land and could act like Ancestor Hunyuan.


    He was thinking of making Yan Shaoyin refine pills for them again!


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shengqing turned to ask Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu just sent a message from the East Barbarians. Senior Brothers, please take a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed a jade slip to Zhou Shengqing, who, after scanning it with his Divine Sense, his expression changed slightly.


    Next were Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue, who, skilled in hiding their emotions, couldn¡¯t help but be shocked!


    ¡°East Barbarians have had a change of power!¡±


    Two hundred years ago, the Sect Leader of Kong Sang Valley, Ku Zhu, schemed to steal the Rank-3 Spiritual Rice Seed from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, sparking a great battle between the two Nascent Soul Major Factions of the East Barbarians.


    In the end, the Nascent Soul Cultivator of Kong Sang Valley bowed down, expelled Ku Zhu, and closed the valley for a hundred years, finally putting the matter to rest.


    After his expulsion, Golden Wind Ancestor, blaming him for the disruption, sent many to hunt him down.


    At that time, as Kong Sang Valley was closed, no one could assist, so everyone thought Ku Zhu would die under the pursuit of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    But instead, Ku Zhu escaped from the East Barbarians and even counter-killed two of the three Golden Core Cultivators who surrounded him.


    Upon hearing this news, the furious Golden Wind Ancestor, despite his Taoist Body not being fully healed, personally took action.


    But by then, Ku Zhu had disappeared through an ancient teleportation array.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This incident made Ku Zhu famous, hailed as the first Golden Core of the East Barbarians!


    And two hundred years later, this Ku Zhu had returned.


    His power had now reached Nascent Soul!


    This was exactly what Chen Mobai had been discussing with Yue Zutao; although Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Kong Sang Valley hadn¡¯t started fighting yet, based on their past grievances, a great battle was inevitable upon Ku Zhu¡¯s return.


    ¡°Golden Wind Ancestor, being an Alchemist, also has some fame in East Land, and his wealth is certainly the richest among the three Nascent Souls of the East Barbarians, but facing two Nascent Soul Cultivators, his chances of winning are probably not high.¡±

 Chapter 1215 - Chapter 1215 Chapter 667 Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved_2

    Chapter 1215: Chapter 667: Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved_2 Chapter 1215: Chapter 667: Legal Body Nascent Soul Achieved_2 Zhou Shengqing expressed his view.


    The Kong Sang Valley originally had one Nascent Soul Cultivator, and now with the addition of Ku Zhu, if old grudges and new hatreds are added together to settle with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the Golden Wind Ancestor would definitely not be able to hold out.


    ¡°Will Sun Bathing Sea, out of consideration for balance, lend a hand to help Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace?¡±


    Fu Zongjue offered his own opinion, which brought nods of agreement from Zhou Shengqing and Chen Mobai.


    If they were in Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s position, they would undoubtedly make this choice; the idea of ¡°when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold¡± is understood by all.


    ¡°So what I mean is, for the time being, do not disclose the news of Brother Zhou achieving the Nascent Soul because Eastern Wilderness is right next to the East Barbarians. If a new Nascent Soul emerges here, that side will certainly regard us as an unstable factor, and it¡¯s possible that there might be a situation where they join forces to eliminate us before the great decisive battle.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.


    Keeping a low profile for now, stay out of the sightline of the three major factions of the East Barbarians. Given the grievances between Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Kong Sang Valley, there must be a battle after Ku Zhu¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and return.


    At that time, whether it¡¯s Sun Bathing Sea entering the fray to restore balance, or Baiwu Ancestor looking on, allowing Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to bear the pressure alone, it would all be to the advantage of Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai continued with the countermeasures he had discussed with Yue Zutao: ¡°The best outcome is still the destruction of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and the death of the Golden Wind Ancestor, after which we can ally with Sun Bathing Sea and reach a balance with Kong Sang Valley.¡±


    After listening, Zhou Shengqing nodded in agreement.


    After his Nascent Soul Formation, he could inherit the goodwill that Master Ancestor Hunyuan had with Sun Bathing Sea, and if he stepped in, he should be able to negotiate successfully.


    Zhou Shengqing: ¡°Let¡¯s observe the changes quietly for a while then. However, the matter of reuniting the Five Elements Sect can start to be carried out now.¡±


    This was also a matter close to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s heart. Since he was the one who initially led the Wood Vein and Metal Vein out of Hunyuan Immortal City, now, he also wanted to personally lead both veins back.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°What does elder brother plan to do?¡±


    After the Core Formation, in the vastness of the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing could move unimpeded, and only the Rank-4 formations of the various major factions could defensively stand up to him.


    Therefore, he needed to make a trip to Hunyuan Immortal City to personally reclaim what was his.


    ¡°If Zhou Ye is willing to hand over the Primordial Dao Fruit, I¡¯m willing to leave him a position as an Elder after I reunite the Five Elements Sect. If he¡¯s unwilling, then he can¡¯t blame me for being ruthless.¡±


    A glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes as he spoke.


    ¡°When the Mysterious Five Elements Array in Hunyuan Immortal City was set up, I was one of those contributing to it. Although Zhou Ye definitely changed the Array Flag nodes and the entrance restrictions after our division, the most critical five Spiritual Pivots are impossible to alter. So as long as I can enter the Immortal City and have the cooperation of disciples from the other three veins, we can stop the Large Formation¡¯s operation.¡±


    The Mysterious Five Elements Array was most powerful when Ancestor Hunyuan was presiding at its center and each of the five Core Formation Disciples controlled one of the Spiritual Pivots.


    The suppression of the Poisonous Dragon and the fierce battle with the Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators was reliant on this.


    It was just unfortunate that after Ancestor Hunyuan passed away in meditation, the array could no longer be moved.


    Zhou Shengqing: ¡°Junior Brother Mo, let¡¯s go and catch up with the other two junior siblings.¡±


    Without formations to hinder them, a Nascent Soul was invincible in the Eastern Wilderness. But for this venture to succeed, both Sheng Zhaoxi and Nu Jiang were critical.


    Mo Douguang also nodded with a face full of emotions after hearing this.


    Ninety years since the division, it was now time for them to prove that the original decision of Master Hunyuan had been wrong.


    However, Chen Mobai still stepped forward to remind Zhou Shengqing that, before things became clear on the side of the East Barbarians, it would be best not to reveal his Nascent Soul Formation.


    Zhou Shengqing also heeded the advice very much, indicating that he was only going to catch up with Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi to make some preliminary preparations for the recovery of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°They can keep a secret, and besides, I have rarely been successful in leaving seclusion. I should find some old friends to show off a little.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said with a smile, revealing his inner thoughts.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai also understood very well.


    Because he was also that kind of person!


    ¡°The sect will be looked after by the two junior brothers. If you need me to take action, just contact me with this Taoist talisman paper.¡±


    Before leaving, Zhou Shengqing plucked two leaves from the Everlife Wood and at the scene drew a talisman for Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue.


    After his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± his mastery over talisman making had clearly risen to the next level. The skill with which he condensed spiritual energy into the void and inscribed it onto the leaves to make talismans was something that Chen Mobai could only envy.


    He had once been hailed as a talisman genius, but after his Core Formation, there were too many aspects of cultivation that he needed to practice, and he gradually set aside this skill. To this day, he had not even obtained the title of third-tier talisman maker from the Immortal Gate.


    After Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang left, Chen Mobai¡¯s previously restrained steps suddenly quickened.


    With a Nascent Soul to preside over the sect, he was confident that he could hold his ground even if the Golden Wind Ancestor personally led the troops of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to press upon their borders.


    Thus, he instructed Yue Zutao to begin implementing some of the more aggressive new policies that had been held back, preparing for the merger of the seven countries.


    He also personally went to the Eastern Desolation Plateau to inspect the progress of this groundbreaking enterprise.


    ¡°Master, in approximately thirteen more years, this White River in Rock Country should be completed according to the plan,¡±


    Zhuo Ming, whose skin had become even more yellowed, proudly stated to Chen Mobai as they flew in the sky above the endlessly flowing White River.


    Aside from the two of them, Luo Yixuan, Yin Qingmei, E Yun, Jiang Zongheng, and a series of other leaders from the Divine Wood Sect in Rock Country were following beside them.


    It was precisely because of this group¡¯s concerted efforts that the opening of White River progressed so smoothly, even faster than what Chen Mobai had imagined, by half.


    As they flew overhead, they looked down upon a dense field of grass that rose waist-high, the Qingluo Grass. Among the pasture, herds of Spirit Bulls and Spirit Antelope, under the supervision of Divine Wood Sect Monks, were scattered and robustly growing across the plateau.


    Some areas with flat terrain had also been transformed into vast Spirit Fields with golden rice ears resembling a golden ocean, shimmering with the dazzling light of a bountiful harvest as the Fresh Wind breezed gently through.


    This year alone, the spirit rice and livestock industries within the territory of Rock Country would provide over a million Spirit Stones in income to the Divine Wood Sect.


    And this number would only increase with time.


    Now, the Divine Wood Sect Monks who had previously not understood Chen Mobai¡¯s determination to exhaust great amounts of manpower and resources to develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau had all come to realize the foresight of their Sect Leader.


    This had become equivalent to a never-ending Spirit Stone Mine.


    If the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau were successfully developed, it could yield an annual income that could surpass the combined output of all the Spirit Stone Mines on the Eastern Wilderness.


    Such a bright future also fueled the enthusiasm of the Divine Wood Sect disciples for the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, which continued to surge.


    This year, over fifteen hundred Qi Practitioners from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions together took up tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and came to this plateau above the Eastern Wilderness.


    Besides opening the water channel, the Spirit Vein in Northern Abyss City, after the Mountain Suppression Stone was set in place, was also jointly upgraded to Rank-4 by Zhuo Ming, guiding the Formation Division and Spirit Vein Division Monks.


    For this project, E Yun invested all of Northern Abyss City¡¯s house sale income and even the shop rental income for the next five years, along with two phases of property development.


    And all of this was worthwhile after the Spirit Vein was successfully upgraded.


    ¡°Very good, very good, you all did very well,¡±


    The accomplishments here in Rock Country pleased Chen Mobai greatly, and he couldn¡¯t help but shower Zhuo Ming, E Yun, and the others with continuous praise.

    However, his good mood was somewhat dampened when he saw the conditions around the Mo River in Sky Country.


    Compared to the luxurious support and ahead-of-schedule progress provided to Zhuo Ming¡¯s side, Luo Xue¡¯er and Zhou Wangshen were lagging quite a bit behind.


    After making comparisons, Chen Mobai reckoned it could take another twenty to thirty years to complete the confluence of the Mo River and the White River.


    After surveying Sky Country in midair, Chen Mobai frowned deeply.


    Seeing the Sect Leader¡¯s expression, Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue¡¯er glanced at each other and hurriedly went to report some good news.

 Chapter 1216 - Chapter 1216 Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network

    Chapter 1216: Chapter 668: Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network Chapter 1216: Chapter 668: Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network ¡°Sect Leader, the Green Wood Evil Cave we discovered is a Second Order High Grade one and it hasn¡¯t been mined yet,¡± reported a disciple. ¡°However, it¡¯s close to the ruins, and there¡¯s a pack of green wolves, demonic beasts, guarding it¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had a standing assignment at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion: to collect Green Wood Evil. King Zhou regarded this matter with great importance, searching far and wide within his own Sky Country over the years.


    But even cultivators are human, and even professional Earth Masters, when searching for Spirit Veins, nine times out of ten, come up empty-handed¨Cnot to mention ordinary Loose Cultivators.


    The discovery of the Green Wood Evil this time was made possible by the planning of two new rivers.


    The course Chen Mobai chose for the rivers was carefully examined and designed, with each bend tapping into a known Spiritual Pivot of Spirit Veins on the plateau. Once the water flowed across the plateau, it would carry the Spiritual Energy from these pivots to irrigate the land, enriching the soil and causing the vegetation to flourish.


    In addition to this, Chen Mobai also drew inspiration from the ¡°Earth Network¡± concept of the Immortal Gates.


    He only learned this after achieving Core Formation: that the mountains, rivers, and streams on Di Yuan Star had all been condensed into a massive Large Formation by the predecessor Huashen Zhenjuns of the Immortal Gates, encompassing all the Spirit Veins and controlling the world¡¯s spiritual pivots. The hub of this network was the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.


    For this reason, the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain was a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein.


    All the Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Gates would pass through the Earth Network¡¯s main gate at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain before being released to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, from where the local Spirit Network departments would distribute it as needed. It was then sent through the Earth Network in layers to countless households.


    The Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network, these two massive Formations, if operated simultaneously, could even propel Di Yuan Star out of its current cosmic orbit and into the unknown vastness of the universe.


    With the current strength of the Divine Wood Sect and Chen Mobai, naturally they could not achieve the same as the Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network.


    However, they could lay the foundation. While carving out the two rivers, Chen Mobai had the Formation Division and the Spirit Vein Division of the Divine Wood Sect record the terrain and Spirit Veins of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, placing Array Plates and Array Flags at the spiritual pivots along the rivers.


    Should the Divine Wood Sect one day cultivate an outstanding Array Master, they would be able to link all these together, forming a Nine Curves River Luo Large Formation, attempting to emulate a section of the Earth Network.


    And it was this project that had led to the discovery of the Green Wood Evil Cave.


    Some of the disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, who went searching for Spirit Veins and identifying Spiritual Pivots before the river excavation, found no reaction after the Array Plates were inserted.


    Later, the true disciples from the Formation Division and the Spirit Vein Division arrived together and after drilling a hole on the surface, they uncovered the surge of Green Wood Evil.


    But the scope of this Ground Evil Spirit Cave wasn¡¯t small; astonishingly, it even extended into the ruins.


    When the Divine Wood Sect opened the mouth of the cave and began collecting the Green Wood Evil, they attracted a swarm of attacks from demonic beasts and nearly faced annihilation.


    However, the fighting ability of the two true disciples was commendable, and thanks to the large-scale development of the sect over the years, they had acquired a number of life-saving treasures. They managed to hold out until King Zhou arrived with reinforcements.


    Afterwards, King Zhou stationed personnel to guard the Green Wood Evil Cave while promptly reporting the incident to Chen Mobai, seeking credit.


    ¡°The matter of the Green Wood Evil counts as a merit,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    ¡°However, the progress of the development of the Mo River is too far behind.¡±


    ¡°If this delay affects the schedule of the Two Rivers merging, the great virtue of fighting desertification in the Rainbow Nation Desert will be postponed.¡±


    After inspecting the progress of the Mo River, Chen Mobai, along with King Zhou, Luo Xue¡¯er, and others, proceeded towards the Green Wood Evil Cave. However, on the way, he still emphasized the importance of the key projects.


    After finding enough Green Wood Evil, he would be able to condense the Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash.


    But having grown up in the Immortal Gates, he understood that the strength and prosperity of the collective was key to an unbroken legacy.


    After all, even a Huashen Zhenjun, at the end of his lifespan, becomes but a handful of yellow soil. The Immortal Gates rely on a continuous line of Deity-Transcending True Monarchs to maintain social stability and prosperity, ensuring thousands of years of peaceful and thriving eras.


    As the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, after obtaining Zhou Shengqing, a Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai hoped to cultivate further and raise more Golden Core Cultivators to supplement the upper foundation of a Nascent Soul Major Faction.


    In the peak times among the three major factions of the East Barbarians, there were always more than ten Golden Core Cultivators.


    Only with a high number of Core Formation cultivators could the emergence of Nascent Souls be possible.


    Both Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei were geniuses with the potential for Nascent Soul, so Chen Mobai thought about cultivating them as quickly as possible.

    So, while he was pleased to be able to master the Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai still gave King Zhou and Luo Xue¡¯er a stern reminder to focus on the most crucial work.


    ¡°Sect Leader, we do want to work hard,¡± Luo Xue¡¯er burst forth, unable to hold back her complaints. As the former Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, she had extensive connections within the Divine Wood Sect and believed that, with her and King Zhou working together, opening a large river would not be difficult.


    But she realized just how pragmatic the younger disciples of the Divine Wood Sect truly were after beginning the work.


    Zhuo Ming, being the most dazzling disciple of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, and herself being industrious¨Ccultivating tens of thousands of acres of Spirit Fields and freely distributing Spirit Rice¨Cled to the powerful young forces of the Divine Wood Sect flocking to Rock Country.


    Even if they couldn¡¯t find assignments at Spirit Treasure Pavilion, as long as they were cultivators with some spells at their disposal, they could find work upon arriving in Rock Country.

 Chapter 1217 - Chapter 1217 Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network_2

    Chapter 1217: Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network_2 Chapter 1217: Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network_2 Even without knowing spells, vigorously digging canals still far surpassed the efforts of ordinary people.


    Because Zhuo Ming had the Artifact Refining Department custom-make a large quantity of Rank-1 iron tools, some for digging canals and others for farming, all of which needed spiritual power to operate, those Qi practitioners below Rank-3 eagerly took on these tasks to receive benefits such as free Spirit Rice.


    Luo Xue¡¯er and Zhou Wangshen also thought about replicating the successful experience from Rock Country.


    However, without an outstanding Spirit Plant Master like Zhuo Ming to oversee everything, not only was the harvest efficiency low, even the canal excavation was delayed.


    ¡°Sect Leader, it¡¯s mainly because we don¡¯t have enough manpower here. Actually, Zhuo Shimei often comes over to help guide us, but the sect disciples are reluctant to come here. Could you possibly issue a policy under the sect¡¯s name to encourage some Qi cultivating disciples to come to Sky Country¡­¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, having worked here these years, had deeply felt the taste of being isolated and helpless.


    Originally, when he had first taken over the role of town guard, he, relying on the power of the Zhou family, had pulled together what could be described as the most luxurious team here in Sky Country, including himself and three other Foundation Establishment practitioners, twelve former true-transmitted disciples, and over a hundred Qi cultivating disciples.


    And E Yun, bringing along Yuan Chiye and supported by Chen Mobai¡¯s associates Yu Lian and Qi Rui, barely matched him in the number of Foundation Establishment practitioners; however, the number of Qi cultivating disciples that followed him to Rock Country was far inferior.


    Now, just over a decade later, the situation had completely reversed.


    Under Zhou Wangshen¡¯s command, there were now Zhou Bingyan and two other newly recruited sect Foundation Establishment practitioners, making a total of seven, nearly matching the foundation of all the cultivator families in the entire Sky Country.


    Even when looking at the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness, they were second only to the major factions.


    But when he looked at Rock Country, the only sentiment left in Zhou Wangshen¡¯s heart was ¡°sour.¡±


    Not to mention the original four including E Yun, later, Chen Mobai established the Longevity Academy there and left his youngest disciple, Jiang Zongheng, in charge after inspecting the entire Eastern Wilderness. Then, Ding Ying and Lian Maozhi also chose to stay, making it seven Foundation Establishment practitioners in total.


    The key point was that each year, students from the Longevity Academy who couldn¡¯t qualify to study further at the Divine Wood Sect after graduation were mostly recruited by E Yun nearby, dramatically increasing the number of his Qi practitioners.


    Later when Zhuo Ming came over, she even brought Yin Qingmei and Luo Yixuan.


    In Rock Country alone, there were now a total of ten Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    In terms of Qi practitioners, Northern Abyss City, with its unique advantages, gathered the most Loose Cultivators and family practitioners in the entire Eastern Wilderness. When they first started opening up the canals, E Yun easily amassed a team of a thousand people.


    Additionally, Liu Wenbo mobilized resources from the Little Nan Mountain Shop across the entire Eastern Wilderness, providing a continuous supply of funding.


    Furthermore, those from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, aiming to curry favor with Chen Mobai, did not even need a direct order from him, but all implied to their disciples to rush to Rock Country and aid Zhuo Ming in earning merit.


    Not only the Qi cultivating disciples, but the Foundation Establishment practitioners were also no exception.


    Heterodox Golden Cores are still listed in the exchange catalog of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion!


    Any practitioner with a desire for Core Formation was now highly motivated, seeking out tasks to accrue merits.


    Even if they couldn¡¯t exchange for Heterodox Golden Cores, the annual Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits, which were exotic treasures for those at the Foundation Establishment stage, were a huge incentive. Yan Yuanhao¡¯s breakthrough to the late phase of Foundation Establishment after consuming one had significantly stimulated them.


    Nearly a hundred years¡¯ worth of task lists accumulated in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion were almost cleared out by the group of Foundation Establishment practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect in just a few short years.


    Newly emerging tasks basically needed to be fought over in order to be accepted.


    Suddenly, within the seven countries under the Divine Wood Sect, the weather turned favorable and the nation was at peace.


    Many Foundation Establishment practitioners, hopeful for further advancement and finding no tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, took the initiative to go to Rock Country.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai went there for inspection, aside from core Foundation Establishments like Zhuo Ming and E Yun, there were still dozens of unfamiliar sect Foundation Establishment practitioners following in the sky.


    It could be said that nearly half of the Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect were now above the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Above the Eastern Desolation Plateau, eighty percent of the Divine Wood Sect disciples were gathered in Rock Country, following Zhuo Ming¡¯s deployment.


    Watching Zhuo Ming¡¯s side being abundantly aided by successful individuals, Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue¡¯er felt a great deal of injustice.


    If they had such manpower and resources at their disposal, they believed their progress certainly would not lag behind Rock Country¡¯s.


    After listening to the grievances of the two, Chen Mobai compared the lineups of the two countries and felt that Zhuo Ming¡¯s side was indeed excessively luxurious.


    The main reason became clear after a little thought; it surely was because of his reputation.


    Chen Mobai felt it improper to interfere, as these were individuals who were assisting his disciple, many of whom were Foundation Establishment practitioners volunteering without compensation.


    However, if the progress in White River of Sky Country was too delayed, that was also unacceptable. Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue¡¯er were diligent, and since they had also helped him locate a Qingmu Evil, he needed to think of a way to lend a hand.


    ¡°Later, I¡¯ll have Ming¡¯er select several groups of cultivators from Rock Country who have been well trained to come over and help you excavate river channels, reclaim Spirit Fields, and plant Spirit Rice.¡±


    With experienced hands assisting, the progress in White River would definitely improve significantly. Chen Mobai also thought about balancing the progress between the two sides by having Zhuo Ming lead a large force from Rock Country to come to Sky Country.


    After all, the more one does, the greater the merit.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue¡¯er both showed delighted expressions.


    At that moment, they had arrived at the location of the Qingmu Evil Cave. Zhou Bingyan and three other Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment practitioners were guarding it, having set up a simple formation to ward off a charge of wolf-shaped demonic beasts.


    Just then, a bright orange light shone in the sky and in an instant, it fell outside the formation in a crisscross pattern, subsequently turning all the demonic beasts into piles of flesh and blood, staining a large swath of green grass red.


    The two cultivators beside Zhou Bingyan, witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha for the first time, could not help but show faces of shock.


    It should be known that among this group of green wolves, there were even two Rank-2 lead wolves. After the formation of a beast formation that exploited their natural talents, the three of them could only form a defensive circle.


    But under that brilliant light from the sky, all were effortlessly turned into minced meat without any resistance.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    At that moment, a rainbow of colorful clouds descended from the sky, with Zhou Bingyan taking the lead to salute the distinguished and mild-mannered young man at the front. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators behind her immediately followed suit.


    ¡°Rise, all of you. From the heavens, using my Spirit Eye, I noticed one of the beasts already possessed an inner core. Have someone clean up, and at the end of the year, send it to the Alchemy Department under Sky Country¡¯s name.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s words fell, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s eyes lit up. He immediately instructed one of the Foundation Establishment practitioners to search among the remains.


    Each demonic beast inner core sent to the Alchemy Department was worth ten thousand sect contribution points.


    Chen Mobai had long since disregarded such trifles, choosing instead to give them to Sky Country as a favor. Zhou Wangshen was not one to hog such gains himself; by the end of the year, as Sky Country and the Sect tallied their contributions, he would distribute them according to merit among his subordinates.


    ¡°Hmm, the quality of this Qingmu Sha here is quite good, and the quantity is sufficient.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai had already examined this Ground Evil Spirit Cave using his Divine Sense, a satisfied smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.


    His Extreme Sun Slash only lacked the final two Golden Flames.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After condensing the seed of the ¡°Great Sun Fire¡± with the Haotian Mirror, he had also cultivated a complete flame using the Ignition Technique over these years, sparing no expense of Spirit Stones.


    Once the nine strikes of Flame Sun Slash were gathered, they could be merged with the Great Sun Fire.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation realm, extracting Qingmu Sha was naturally effortless; he condensed and completed it with a Spirit Sealing Tube in just three days.


    At this moment, only Zhou Bingyan remained by his side.


    Zhou Wangshen had initially wanted to stay, but Chen Mobai had him, along with Luo Xue¡¯er, take the people back. Instilling the idea of urgently opening river channels was a major matter that could not afford any delay.

 Chapter 1218 - Chapter 1218 Chapter 669 Undercurrents Surge

    Chapter 1218: Chapter 669: Undercurrents Surge Chapter 1218: Chapter 669: Undercurrents Surge After obtaining the Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai stayed in Sky Country for a while longer.


    Under his orders, Yuan Chiye quickly led a team of two hundred Qi Practitioners from Rock Country to provide support.


    These were experts trained over many years to excavate water channels. However, these were all Loose Cultivators permanently employed by Northern Abyss City under the name of the Divine Wood Sect.


    As per Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, since the construction of the two great rivers was at least a twenty- to thirty-year mega-project, these Loose Cultivators had to sign a long-term contract of over ten years with the Divine Wood Sect.


    Initially, the Loose Cultivators did not approve of this long-term contract.


    After all, in the Eastern Desolation, Loose Cultivators revered their freedom, prefering to cultivate in seclusion after completing a task and only seeking work when their stock of Spirit Rice and Spirit Stones ran out¨Cthis was the norm.


    But the terms offered by the Divine Wood Sect were too good!


    Especially after Zhuo Ming led a team to open up tens of thousands of mu of Spirit Fields in Rock Country, achieving self-sufficiency in Spirit Rice, all the Loose Cultivators began rushing to sign this long-term contract.


    Some even wanted to extend it by decades or even a hundred years, willing to work for the Divine Wood Sect for a lifetime.


    After all, paid in Spirit Stones and provided with Spirit Rice as welfare benefits, this was a rarely seen high remuneration throughout the entire Eastern Desolation.


    Had the Divine Wood Sect not been the premier sect in the Eastern Desolation, renowned for its good reputation, the Loose Cultivators might even have suspected a scam of the Demon Path.


    Once some desperately poor cultivators verified the truth, all Loose Cultivators in Northern Abyss City went crazy.


    Even upon spreading the news, Cultivators from all over the Eastern Desolation began flocking towards Rock Country.


    Previously, Loose Cultivators would either sell themselves to forces in Fang Market or risk their lives in Yun Meng Ze to earn Spirit Stones.


    But working in Northern Abyss City posed no threats to their lives!


    Though it was tough and exhausting and involved taking commands from the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect and adhering to strict working hours, the lengthy contracts ensured they could accumulate a considerable amount of Spirit Stones by the time they were terminated in ten or twenty years.


    Perhaps they could even cover all expenses incurred before reaching Foundation Establishment.


    The smarter Loose Cultivators of the Eastern Desolation, just by making comparisons, began swarming to Northern Abyss City, which nearly resembled paradise.


    Many creative sects and Cultivator families recognized the business opportunity and stopped trading in Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, and Talismans; instead, they led their own disciples and relatives to negotiate with Northern Abyss City about taking contracts to excavate certain sections of the river channels.


    Naturally, E Yun agreed to this.


    Initially, Zhuo Ming was worried this would compromise the quality of the work, but undoubtedly, this method saved a significant amount of manpower for the Divine Wood Sect, as the typically employed Loose Cultivators required meticulous supervision and training from capable individuals from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Contracting to other forces, they only needed to finalize the instructions initially, set the targets, and then periodically inspect the progress.


    If the quality met the standards upon inspection, then E Yun from the Northern Abyss City side would issue the corresponding Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice as progress payments for the project.


    If Zhuo Ming was dissatisfied, they would redo the work until she was satisfied.


    No satisfaction meant no Spirit Stones were granted; all major sects and Cultivator families wanting a contract had to abide by this rule.


    This was also why the Divine Wood Sect, already dominating alone in the Eastern Desolation and because the contracting forces willingly sought this business, could enforce such stringent terms¨Censuring that the Divine Wood Sect had no risks, and the contracts were fiercely sought after.


    The second batch led by Qi Rui to provide support consisted of those contract holders from Rock Country.


    Over a dozen major and minor Cultivator families and second and third-tier sects combined had actually amassed five hundred Qi Practitioners.


    Qi Rui discussed with Luo Xue¡¯er and assigned several simpler sections of the Mo River that required less mountain carving and earth breaking to this group of contractors from Rock Country to try their hand.


    Zhou Wangshen, participating throughout with the status of Town Guard of Sky Country, had separately established contracts with these thirteen contract holders, specifying diverse inspection requirements for each river section at the appointed time.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t the Cultivator families and sect forces on the side of Sky Country have such a business acumen?¡±


    After discussing this issue, Zhou Wangshen couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and say.


    ¡°It¡¯s also thanks to Zhuo Shimei initially providing Spirit Rice to the working Loose Cultivators under a good reputation.¡±


    ¡°The first to spot this business opportunity was Hua Zhong, the family head of the Hua family. He is a visionary who, confirming that our sect was genuinely undertaking a decades-long mega-project on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, sent quite a few disciples and relatives to actively participate in river channel excavation, Spirit Field planting, and tree plantation to stabilize the soil, investigating all the technical challenges.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°After two years of actual participation in developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau, once confirming that his family could complete it profitably, this family head began discussions with Brother E, aiming to take a contract for constructing a section of the river channel.¡±


    ¡°After Hua family¡¯s example, other powers in Rock Country began surging in, and by now, nearly all Cultivators of Rock Country are involved in the White River project.¡±


    Qi Rui highlighted the key points, and after hearing this, both Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue¡¯er were immensely moved.


    ¡°There are also six more contractors specializing in planting Spirit Fields and sowing Spirit Rice coming over, led by Han Shizhu. By then, Brother Zhou, please coordinate with the manpower of Sky Country.¡±


    Qi Rui again mentioned the third batch of support coming from Rock Country. Sky Country¡¯s Spirit Field resources were even better than Rock Country¡¯s, especially with Yun Meng Ze nearby; even though Mo River had not yet been fully developed, the annual rainfall was still substantial.

 Chapter 1219 - Chapter 1219 Chapter 669 Turbulent undercurrents_2

    Chapter 1219: Chapter 669: Turbulent undercurrents_2 Chapter 1219: Chapter 669: Turbulent undercurrents_2 However, most of the Spirit Fields were the lands by the shore of Yun Meng Ze, basically all occupied by the local Cultivator Families. Zhou Wangshen followed Chen Mobai¡¯s command, not seizing those lands but instead leading the Sect Disciples to open up new areas.


    But the Spirit Plant Masters from Sky Country surely couldn¡¯t compare to those from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    Moreover, most of the manpower was dispatched by Zhou Wangshen to dig canals, resulting in Sky Country lagging far behind Rock Country in terms of Spirit Field development and Spirit Rice cultivation.


    ¡°Who is this Han Shizhu?¡± Zhou Wangshen asked Qi Rui, since the previous two batches of laborers had been led by Foundation Establishment Practitioners, how come the third batch suddenly had Qi Practitioners instead.


    ¡°What, Brother Zhou doesn¡¯t know¡­ She is Zhuo Shimei¡¯s disciple, and as long as she achieves Foundation Establishment, she will become the third-generation Eldest Disciple of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.¡±


    Upon hearing this from Qi Rui, Zhou Wangshen immediately realized.


    He had heard of Han Zhiling¡¯s reputation.


    ¡°I will have Bing Yan personally welcome her.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen didn¡¯t look down on Han Zhiling just because she was only in the stage of Qi Cultivation; after all, being accepted by Xiao Nanshan meant she must have been granted permission by the Sect Leader.


    Plus, most importantly, Chen Mobai was still in Sky Country.


    Once the third batch led by Han Zhiling arrived, the Qi Practitioners from Sky Country and Rock Country finally balanced out.


    But those Foundation Establishment Practitioners, since they all volunteered to help Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai could not really give orders to them.


    He could only have Spirit Treasure Pavilion provide more conveniences for Zhou Wangshen, listing more tasks from Sky Country; whether or not Zhou Wangshen could retain them when they came would depend on his tactics.


    When Han Zhiling arrived, Chen Mobai had just finished turning all the Green Wood Evil into Green Flames Sword Sha.


    As his chosen third-generation Eldest Disciple, Chen Mobai naturally wanted to meet her.


    Not long after Han Zhiling was accepted by Xiao Nanshan, she came to Rock Country with Zhuo Ming.


    Her talent was undeniable, and combined with diligent hard work, she had already become a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master, specializing in Fire Spirit Rice.


    This was the reason Zhuo Ming had her lead the team this time.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s meeting with Han Zhiling was not to assess this aspect, but to ask if she had any doubts about her cultivation, for he was already inferior to Zhuo Ming in the field of Spirit Plants; it was better to stick to his strengths.


    Han Zhiling had already reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, but she felt her practice was not profound enough and wanted to wait another two years before attempting Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s personal inquiry naturally led her to ask all the questions she had accumulated over the days.


    Chen Mobai, renowned in the Eastern Desolation as a Great Sage and Good Teacher, easily guided a Qi Practitioner.


    After some answers, Han Zhiling no longer had any doubts about using Melting Fire Cultivation to establish her Foundation and felt confident that once she reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, she would be ready to take a Foundation Building Pill.


    However, after Foundation Establishment, the Melting Fire Cultivation would reach its limit, and Han Zhiling would either have to cultivate the Earth¡¯s Core True Fire Technique from Back to Sky Valley or switch to another Fire Attribute Technique.


    Chen Mobai also asked her about her own thoughts on this.


    Han Zhiling hesitated, expressing her admiration for the founder¡¯s formidable Sword Dao and her aspiration for the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    ¡°It¡¯s not impossible, but right now you should focus on Foundation Establishment. I¡¯ll take care of the subsequent Cultivation Techniques for you,¡± he reassured her.


    If Chen Mobai was willing, creating a mantra to bridge the transition from Melting Fire Cultivation to Red Flame Sword Jue wouldn¡¯t be difficult, especially since he had the Formless Puppet at his disposal.


    Thus, he did not make Han Zhiling switch her Cultivation Technique at the moment. After all, she had practiced Melting Fire Cultivation for the better part of her life; making a switch at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation would certainly affect her Foundation Establishment.


    It was better to wait until after achieving Foundation Establishment to consider changing her Cultivation Technique.


    With his assurance, Han Zhiling was completely at ease.


    After the exchange with his granddaughter-student, Chen Mobai left Sky Country.


    He didn¡¯t continue to Rainbow Country, but instead planned to return and master Extreme Sun Slash.


    Unknown to Chen Mobai, his whereabouts were always being monitored by others.


    After he left the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Nanxuan sect¡¯s Fang Xuanyang¡¯s face grew solemn as he put down the letter that had just arrived from the East Barbarians.


    The letter contained the latest instructions from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace for him.


    The negotiations between Golden Wind Ancestor and Ku Zhu had broken down, and both sides were now preparing to mobilize all of their forces for a major conflict.


    As a Golden Core Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang would naturally be called back.


    However, before returning, Golden Wind Ancestor had another directive for the Eastern Wilderness.


    That was to make this place a retreat for Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Should the war against Kong Sang Valley fail, their remaining people could withdraw here to lie in wait, preparing for a comeback.


    But to turn the Eastern Wilderness into Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s fallback strategy, the biggest issue was the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, according to the original strategy of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, once Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, they would step in to gradually wear down Rock Country, Sky Country, and others, seizing the Eastern Desolation Plateau, which connected to the Land of Ruins, to establish a branch.


    Unfortunately, the resistance from Divine Wood Sect erupted beyond Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s expectations. Both Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang died; even the highly-anticipated Xuan Shu arrived only to return severely wounded.


    When Fang Xuanyang was dispatched, he too was trembling with fear, deeply worried that Chen Mobai and the other three Golden Core Cultivators would come knocking on his door to slaughter him.


    Thankfully, the reputation of Golden Wind Ancestor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still managed to hold sway.


    But from this, Fang Xuanyang guessed one thing, that Zhou Shengqing must not have succeeded in his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    A major sect with a Nascent Soul powerhouse would never allow any other Nascent Soul forces to establish a branch within their territory.


    Since he guessed this much, Fang Xuanyang naturally thought of a way to verify it.


    Thus, he founded the Restoration Society and summoned over the Cultivators from the East Barbarians who had been annihilated by Divine Wood Sect to draw on their connections in the Eastern Wilderness and continually gather intelligence.


    Among these, the Restoration Society encountered another secret organization when they reached Rainbow Country. Fang Xuanyang personally made a move to test them but backed off with trepidation.


    Yet, this organization also had deep-seated hatred for Divine Wood Sect and had even buried many of its members with significant identities and statuses among the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Fang Xuanyang immediately collaborated with this organization and indeed obtained more detailed and specific information about Divine Wood Sect.


    Unfortunately, this organization was not cautious in its actions. The Killing God of Divine Wood Sect traced them, drew his sword, and ascended Liu Jia Mountain, leading to another East Wilderness Major Sect being annihilated.


    Fang Xuanyang had mixed feelings about this; he rejoiced that after the fall of Liu Jia Mountain, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners led by Yu Changjian weren¡¯t completely exterminated. He managed to find and recruit those who concealed themselves under his command.


    His worry stemmed from the terrifying strength that Divine Wood Sect displayed in the process of conquering Liu Jia Mountain, which made him dare not command the Restoration Society to take any further actions.


    If possible, Fang Xuanyang hoped that things would continue peacefully as they were.


    But sadly, the orders from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace obliged him to prepare for a falling out with Divine Wood Sect.


    Fortunately, as a Golden Core Cultivator, he had some semblance of prestige; this letter sought his opinion.


    Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace planned to sweep through the Eastern Wilderness before the major showdown with Kong Sang Valley, at the very least, to eradicate Divine Wood Sect, their greatest enemy, to prevent possible retaliation in the future should they retreat to the Eastern Wilderness after a defeat.


    And now, supporting Divine Wood Sect was the key figure, the young Sect Leader Chen Guixian.


    As long as he was slain, the rest was not a concern.


    For this, Fang Xuanyang mobilized all the hidden agents of the Restoration Society, keeping a close watch on Chen Mobai¡¯s movements.


    He didn¡¯t consider himself a match, so he waited for a more powerful Golden Core Cultivator from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to arrive.

    Only this time they hadn¡¯t been quick enough.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay long on the Eastern Desolation Plateau and had returned home.


    Fang Xuanyang remained very calm about this. After all, his Restoration Society had a highly placed mole in Giant Tree Ridge who could inform him at any moment of Chen Mobai¡¯s next visit to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Next time, when Sect Master Chen visited, he¡¯d also take out Chen¡¯s prized disciple, and that Heavenly Spiritual Root as well.


    Completely severing any chance for Divine Wood Sect to rise again!

 Chapter 1220 - Chapter 1220 Chapter 670 The Extreme Sun Slash Succeeds

    Chapter 1220: Chapter 670: The Extreme Sun Slash Succeeds Chapter 1220: Chapter 670: The Extreme Sun Slash Succeeds ¡°`


    In truth, according to Fang Xuanyang¡¯s original plan, it would have been best to wait another twenty or thirty years, until the excavation of Two Rivers was successful and the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau had been fully developed by the Divine Wood Sect, before the great army of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace would come.


    At first, Fang Xuanyang could not comprehend what Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect was up to.


    Whether it was the establishment of Longevity Academy, the real estate development in Northern Abyss City, or pioneering the Eastern Desolation Plateau, in the eyes of Fang Xuanyang, a native of the Tianhe Realm, all seemed like pointless toiling.


    But now, the tangible results forced him to admit that he had been shortsighted.


    The Restoration Society had the most informants within Northern Abyss City, and since the prices of real estate and the rent of shops in this first Immortal City of the Eastern Desolation Plateau were transparent, Fang Xuanyang easily calculated how much Spirit Stone the Divine Wood Sect had earned from Northern Abyss City.


    Then he became envious and could not help but emulate them, setting up South Xuan Real Estate in the Treasure Color Market.


    To deceive some Loose Cultivators in need of Foundation Building Pills, he also earned a considerable amount of Spirit Stones ¡ª at least more than he ever had back in the East Barbarians.


    But when compared to the Divine Wood Sect, it was still insignificant.


    Later, when it came to the grand project of excavating Two Rivers and developing the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Fang Xuanyang initially failed to see the point, but he learned to watch and wait.


    Now, after more than five years, Fang Xuanyang finally understood.


    If the Eastern Desolation Plateau were fully developed according to that Sect Master Chen¡¯s plans, it would be a veritable cornucopia¨Can endlessly mining, never-exhausting large Spirit Stone Mine.


    After understanding this, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s respect for Chen Mobai grew even more.


    This guy was not only supremely talented in cultivation but also a prodigy in managing a sect.


    It was just a pity that in this backwater place of the Eastern Wilderness, his vision and approach were still too limited.


    Fang Xuanyang still believed that the most important thing for Cultivators was to enhance their own strength and realm. With Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, engaging in these matters was pure waste of time and energy.


    The rise of any great sect is due to the emergence of high-order Cultivators; there has never been a Sect that rose solely because it had extensive Spirit Fields, abundant Spirit Stones, or a large territory.


    In fact, these could even become the root cause of disasters. Without the protection of powerful Cultivators, no matter how much wealth or how many Spirit Stones one has, in the end, they would become a feast for the larger sects to devour.


    This was exactly the mindset of Fang Xuanyang now; he recognized that he had misjudged before, but now he thought this was even better.


    Because the fruits of so many years of laborious management and development by the Divine Wood Sect on the Eastern Desolation Plateau would soon all belong to the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    If it weren¡¯t for the impending war with Kong Sang Valley and the accurate intelligence just received from a mole within the Divine Wood Sect, Fang Xuanyang might even draft a memorial convincing the Golden Wind Ancestor to give the Divine Wood Sect more time to develop, so their harvest would be richer.


    With this thought, Fang Xuanyang took out that carefully stored piece of intelligence and reviewed it once more, reaffirming his plan.


    An informant of the Restoration Society within the Divine Wood Sect mentioned that the nature¡¯s spiritual energy around Giant Tree Ridge had recently surged wildly toward the location of three pieces of Everlife Wood.


    This was clearly a sign that someone was breaking through a realm or perhaps had mastered some formidable Divine Power Technique.


    Subsequently, the mole discovered through various investigations that the surge of nature¡¯s spiritual energy was due to none other than Sect Master Chen breaking through to the Mid Core Formation Stage.


    Upon seeing this information, Fang Xuanyang was initially shocked¨Cafter all, Chen Mobai had only been in the Core Formation stage for sixteen years.


    To know that when he was in Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, he was regarded as a talent second only to Taoist Child Xuan Shu, but even so, it took him nearly thirty years to break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.


    Such a comparison revealed just how astonishing Sect Master Chen¡¯s talent was.


    It was also for this reason that Fang Xuanyang made up his mind not to wait any longer, preparing to summon people from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and strangle the most dazzling Sword Dao Genius of the Eastern Wilderness in a millennium.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai was, of course, unaware that he had been targeted.


    He had returned to Giant Tree Ridge and begun condensing the nine Flame Sun Slashes, ready to combine them into one, elevating it to the ¡°Extreme Sun Slash¡±!


    In the Longevity Wood Dojo, Chen Mobai floated in midair, with the nine Flame Sun Slashes suspended behind him under the control of his Divine Sense, forming a perfect circle.


    The dazzling golden glow twinkled intermittently, slightly obscuring his figure, making him resemble an effervescent sun shimmering in midair.


    If he hadn¡¯t contained it, the Sect Disciples in Giant Tree Ridge might have been able to look up to the sky and see two Suns, large and small.


    It was precisely because of the disturbance caused by his Cultivation Practice that Chen Mobai chose to stay in Giant Tree Ridge, rather than returning to the more suitable Danxia Mountain.


    A blaze of pure white flame burned in the palm of his hand¨Cthis was Great Sun Fire.


    Nine orbs of Golden Flame, at his command, began slowly rotating around the white blaze of Great Sun Fire at the center.

    Soon, strands of flame spilled out from the Golden Flame, infusing into the Great Sun Fire.


    Chen Mobai, who was already well-versed in the Flame Sword Charm, immediately injected his own Pure Yang Spiritual Power into it.


    This refinement process originally required Red Flame Spiritual Power.


    According to the Red Flame Sword Jue, to elevate Flame Sun Slash to Extreme Sun Slash, it would take at least three uninterrupted years of persistent refining with Dan fire and Spiritual Power infusion.

 Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1221 Chapter 670 Extreme Sun Slash Success_2

    Chapter 1221: Chapter 670: Extreme Sun Slash Success_2 Chapter 1221: Chapter 670: Extreme Sun Slash Success_2 But Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power was of higher quality, and it even encompassed all the characteristics of Red Flame Spiritual Power, so this step was greatly shortened.


    One could see the two distinctly incompatible and clearly separated scorching energies in the palm of his hand begin to slowly merge¡­


    One year later!


    A faint white light that twisted the void itself danced forth.


    The white light was like lightning, dazzlingly bright!


    Unable to resist, Chen Mobai reached out to grasp it. In an instant, the light burst forth, its terrible sharpness and intense heat almost too much to handle, forcing him to release it with a flick to the side.


    With a hiss!


    One could see the limb of the Rank-4 Everlife Wood, cleanly severed, falling toward the ground.


    The power of that white light clearly hadn¡¯t been fully unleashed, as it cut straight into the main trunk of the Everlife Wood before Chen Mobai¡¯s astonished gaze, nearly splitting the thick trunk.


    However, at that moment, the power of the white light had also been exhausted.


    Chen Mobai flew to the trunk¡¯s wound and saw that searing white sparks were still burning on it.


    But the Everlife Wood was, after all, a Fourth Order Spirit Plant, tempered by Green-sun Fire for hundreds of years, and its resistance to flames was extremely high. Streams of greenish Qi accompanied by the vibrant sap of the Longevity Tree emerged, quickly covering and extinguishing the sparks.


    This also let Chen Mobai realize the power of his Extreme Sun Slash.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, magic weapons and Spirit Talismans below Rank-4 were already something he could ignore; as for those on the Rank-4 level, unless they could suppress the attribute of Extreme Sun Slash, it was estimated they would have a hard time withstanding it.


    As newly mastered Extreme Sun Slash was at his disposal, while Chen Mobai was contemplating how to train his control, a clear and agile female cultivator flew up.


    ¡°Sect Leader!¡±


    Gu Yan¡¯s expression was respectful as she held a charred twig in her long, snow-white hands¨Cit was the very limb that the Extreme Sun Slash had cut down, which she found below while extracting Longevity Tree Sap.


    This was Fourth Order Spirit Material, invaluable beyond measure, so she immediately presented it to him.


    ¡°Practicing sword techniques, the power was somewhat beyond expectations.¡±


    Seeing it was Gu Yan, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to hide it and spoke out.


    After hearing this, Gu Yan looked up just in time to see the arm-length cut on the trunk of the Longevity Wood beside Chen Mobai, her face revealing a look of shock.


    One must know that for these Foundation Establishment practitioners, even if they went all out, they couldn¡¯t pluck a single leaf from a Fourth Order Divine Wood.


    So, even though they knew as soon as the bark of the Longevity Wood was cut, sap would ooze out, they still needed a Secret Technique to extract it.


    Because even Golden Core Cultivators were not able to break through the bark of this Fourth Order Spirit Wood.


    At most, they could sever some small branches or take a few leaves.


    But now, Gu Yan saw this Rank-4 Spirit Wood, revered as a Divine Tree within their Sect, not only had its bark been slashed, but it seemed the main trunk had been deeply cut as well.


    The charred wound on the trunk and the sap that overflowed from it made Gu Yan worry whether she would still be needed by the Sect Leader in the future.


    ¡°Has anything major happened in the Sect recently?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. While he was in seclusion, only Gu Yan and disciples from Xiao Nanshan were allowed to enter this Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Gu Yan, who was there for a long time, would usually be the first to be informed of any matters by the likes of Yue Zutao and Liu Wenbo when they came to visit.


    Every time Chen Mobai finished his cultivation practice and came down for a breather, Gu Yan would tell him any important matters if she encountered him.


    ¡°Elder Liu came by several times, but he didn¡¯t say what for.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded slightly and then had Gu Yan go down to notify the Sect that he had emerged from seclusion.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Yue Zutao came over first.


    During the year Chen Mobai was in closed-door cultivation practicing Extreme Sun Slash, nothing of great importance that required his attention happened in the Eastern Wilderness, but Yue Zutao still reported a piece of news that pleased him.


    That news was about Zheng Deming, a Sect disciple who had long been stationed in Yun Meng Ze, who exchanged for a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit and achieved Foundation Establishment Completion in his cultivation realm.


    Chen Mobai was naturally aware of this person; after all, when he first came to the Eastern Wilderness to earn Spirit Stones in Yun Meng Ze, it was under his command on Green Light Island.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°How old is Zheng Deming?¡±


    Yue Zutao: ¡°This year, Zheng Deming is exactly 170 years old.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of regret. According to the theories of the Immortal Gate, a Foundation Establishment practitioner is still in the peak of their Essence, Qi, and Spirit before the age of 150, with a higher possibility of breaking through major realms.


    At 170 years old, Zheng Deming has reached the Completion of Foundation Establishment, and since he doesn¡¯t practice the Longevity Scripture, his hopes of reaching Core Formation are probably slim.


    However, it¡¯s certainly a cause for celebration for the sect to have another Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner.


    Moreover, Zheng Deming has been stationed in the Cloud Dream Marsh for many years, slaying demonic beasts, and his cumulative contribution to the sect is said to be the highest among Foundation Establishment practitioners; it¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t received the same background as Zhou Fu, so previously all his contributions were exchanged for cultivation resources at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    And now, after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion, he only has the goal of Core Formation left.


    For this, he will surely slay more demonic beasts, driving the rest of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners who seek Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine to become even more involved.


    ¡°What a pity Zheng Deming practices the Yellow Sand Sword Art, which has different properties from my cultivation techniques¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, who enjoyed mentoring others, regretted that he couldn¡¯t offer guidance.


    Zheng Deming was a loose cultivator before joining the Divine Wood Sect, and even after joining, he didn¡¯t change his cultivation techniques, so if he wishes to reach Core Formation in the future, he will have to rely more on himself.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai still had Yue Zutao notify Zheng Deming to return to the sect for a visit, intending to impart the sect¡¯s Core Formation Insights to him, which could save him a lot of detours.


    ¡°Sect Leader, should we not test him further?¡±


    Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak, revealing the locally prevalent mentality.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°After all, Elder Zheng entered the sect as a loose cultivator, not a direct descendant of our Divine Wood Sect¡­¡±


    Yue Zutao¡¯s words were cut short when he saw Chen Mobai shake his head in disappointment, rendering him unable to continue.


    ¡°I too entered the sect as a loose cultivator. According to you, shouldn¡¯t Fu Shixiong have tested me thoroughly before imparting anything to me?¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yue Zutao¡¯s face turned white, and he was speechless.


    However, it wasn¡¯t his fault, as this was the custom in the Eastern Wilderness. Insights on breaking through major realms were fundamentally what made great sects what they were.


    Loose cultivators lack these things, which is why, although many strive to reach Qi Cultivation Perfection, one in ten thousand can break through to Foundation Establishment.


    As for loose cultivators reaching Core Formation, the Eastern Wilderness has yet to see one.


    Zheng Deming cannot be considered as someone nurtured by the Divine Wood Sect since his cultivation resources were primarily fought for by himself in the Cloud Dream Marsh, unlike Xie Yuntian¡¯s noble background.


    Therefore, when Yue Zutao heard that Chen Mobai intended to impart Core Formation Insights to him, he couldn¡¯t help but speak out of turn.


    ¡°Before each cultivator in the sect is transmitted insights, they take a Dao Heart oath, so there¡¯s absolutely no need to worry about leaks, and by imparting it to him in advance, we can better cultivate his recognition and sense of belonging to the sect.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yue Zutao¡¯s expression cleared. However, this was also because he had never experienced such a matter himself; after all, he wasn¡¯t qualified to take part in the transmission of Core Formation Insights before.


    While Yue Zutao personally went to notify Zheng Deming at the Cloud Dream Marsh, Liu Wenbo, upon learning of Chen Mobai¡¯s emergence from seclusion, also returned.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo came over to pay his respects, then spoke of two matters.


    The first was that during the year Chen Mobai was in seclusion cultivating the Extreme Sun Slash, Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ninefold Law Body achieved a breakthrough to the fourth layer.


    This meant that her physical strength was now comparable to a Second Order High Grade defensive magic weapon.


    Combined with the All-Things Altruistic Cauldron, basic Foundation Establishment practitioners would no longer be able to penetrate her defenses.


    ¡°That¡¯s great news. If Ming¡¯er could cultivate the Ninefold Law Body to the fourth layer before reaching Core Formation, then reaching Core Formation shouldn¡¯t be a problem at all.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai was also very pleased. He calculated with his fingers; the last time Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ninefold Law Body broke through along with her cultivation realm was exactly ten years ago.


    This speed was already quite fast. The influence of the Spiritual Root on the Body Refining Technique isn¡¯t as significant as it is on Spiritual Power. Zhuo Ming¡¯s rapid progression is mainly due to her having the same abundant resources as her master.


    The Superior Quality Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice she cultivated, originally meant for Golden Core Cultivators, was of no interest to Chen Mobai, so he left it all for her to use in body forging.


    Precious Third Order Spirit Rice, along with a sufficient amount of Second Order High Grade Spirit Rice, the endless supply of demonic beast meat sent from Cloud Dream Marsh, and the Longevity Tree Sap gifted by Chen Mobai, allowed Zhuo Ming to make such rapid progress to the fourth layer of the Ninefold Law Body without consuming elixirs.


    After sharing the good news, Liu Wenbo¡¯s expression became serious as he started discussing the second matter.

 Chapter 1222 - Chapter 1222 Chapter 671

    Chapter 1222: Chapter 671 Chapter 1222: Chapter 671 ¡°Song Huangdae said that the person contacted him again. This time, they asked him to closely monitor your schedule, Master, and to notify them immediately if there are signs of you leaving.¡±


    Upon hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but raise his brow slightly, his mouth curling into a cold smile.


    To monitor his movements¨Cthey were planning to make a move against him!


    Just as the Extreme Sun Slash was perfected, he needed a few people to test its sharpness, and now someone delivered themselves to his doorstep.


    ¡°Now, openly in the Eastern Desolation, there are only so many at the Core Formation stage. To target me, if Nascent Soul Cultivators don¡¯t come, at least three of the same rank are needed. I wonder where the Restoration Society is getting so many people from? It seems that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is about to make a move!¡±


    Over the years, through Song Huangdae¡¯s infiltration, Chen Mobai had discovered that the commands of the Restoration Society were consolidated to the Nanxuan sect at Treasure Color Mountain.


    In the Eastern Desolation, things didn¡¯t require as much evidence as the Immortal Gates did. With this discovery, Chen Mobai directly attributed the Restoration Society to the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    After all, in the Eastern Desolation, after annihilating Shake Mountain Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, no one or power dared to probe the Divine Wood Sect like this anymore.


    The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, having Nascent Soul Cultivators, was different. Although Fang Xuanyang was isolated in terms of power in the Eastern Desolation, with Golden Wind Ancestor behind him, he probably still looked down on the Eastern Desolation and was the most likely and motivated person to establish the Restoration Society.


    After realizing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s first thought was to take Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue to Treasure Color Mountain to also slaughter Fang Xuanyang.


    However, he hadn¡¯t become arrogant to the point of disregarding everything. Although the Divine Wood Sect had fought a major war with the Nanxuan sect, after all, it was the Nanxuan sect that was in the wrong at that time.


    If he went now and killed Fang Xuanyang without reason, Golden Wind Ancestor would definitely interfere if he wanted to remain influential in the East Land, and would send Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace Cultivators to the Eastern Desolation for revenge.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, he intended to wait until Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation, and then deal with Fang Xuanyang and the Restoration Society.


    But then he encountered the unexpected event of Ku Zhu returning from Nascent Soul Formation.


    To avoid startling the snake, he could only let Fang Xuanyang live a few more years.


    However, unexpectedly, his kindness was not appreciated at all by Fang Xuanyang, who now even planned to make a move against him.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai silently took out the talisman paper given to him by Zhou Shengqing.


    Although after mastering the Extreme Sun Slash, basically no Golden Core Cultivator could compete against him, the always cautious Chen Mobai decided to be more careful and also called Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Tell Song Huangdae to inform the Restoration Society that I will be inspecting the Eastern Desolation Plateau at the end of next month.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo nodded in agreement, but just as he was leaving, his face suddenly showed hesitation.


    ¡°Is there anything else?¡±


    Seeing his eldest disciple¡¯s expression, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Master, after the destruction of the Restoration Society, Du Feng, who was in contact with Song Huangdae, will no longer be of any use. Should he be dealt with?¡±


    Since Song Huangdae had accurately transmitted several pieces of intelligence, he had almost gained complete trust from the Restoration Society.


    And last time, when Zhou Shengqing broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, causing a surge in nature¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡­¡± Du Feng, seeking to find the cause, once again employed the method of contacting Song Huangdae, letting this disciple from Xiao Nanshan seek the truth.


    Song Huangdae, who had long since turned from darkness to light, naturally immediately informed his Master Liu Wenbo, who then reported to Chen Mobai.


    It was also Chen Mobai who proactively let Song Huangdae divulge that he had broken through to the Mid Foundation Establishment stage to cover up the fact that Zhou Shengqing had transformed into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, and at the same time, it was also to fish for information.


    Clearly, the information about Chen Mobai reaching the Mid Foundation Establishment stage was of extremely great value.


    Du Feng, after obtaining it, couldn¡¯t wait to pass it on, then was discovered by Chen Mobai who was already prepared.


    However, after Song Huangdae lured out this spy, Chen Mobai did not deal with him immediately.


    The reason, naturally, was to be able to deliver a ¡°precise¡± piece of intelligence, capturing Fang Xuanyang and the entire Restoration Society in one fell swoop.


    Now, Liu Wenbo meant just that.


    Chen Mobai, thinking of his and Zhou Shengqing¡¯s forthcoming action, which would definitely completely fall out with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, realized there indeed was no need to keep Du Feng, an undercover agent, and nodded.


    ¡°Du Feng is a cultivator who survived the Five Elements Sect¡¯s factional war, and his cultivation level is also at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. You are not his match; I will arrange a more powerful expert for you.¡±


    Though Liu Wenbo, this eldest disciple, was mediocre in dueling, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t very reassured. Fortunately, Zheng Deming was returning to impart his Core Formation insights, so he would let him and Liu Wenbo go together to finish off Du Feng.


    ¡­


    Wind Rain Hamlet.


    Zhou Shengqing and Nu Jiang were playing chess, while Mo Douguang was drinking tea next to them.


    At that moment, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face froze,


    After placing the white piece, Nu Jiang saw Zhou Shengqing¡¯s expression and couldn¡¯t help but ask,


    ¡°Some guy pretending to be an obedient grandson no longer wants to pretend and is thinking about biting back.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sneered and placed his chess piece down,


    ¡°Oh, so the elder brother has finally shown his true capabilities after ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ but this might affect our future plans to reclaim the Five Elements Sect!¡±


    Nu Jiang, however, thought of another problem. Once Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ was exposed, Zhou Ye would definitely be highly alert; entering the Hunyuan Immortal City might face some complications.


    ¡°I was only in the past suppressing the formation for Junior Brother Chen, and if it were me who made a move on Core Formation, there wouldn¡¯t be any noise at all.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said a very confident phrase, causing Nu Jiang to nod repeatedly after hearing it.


    The vast gap between Nascent Soul and Core Formation indeed warranted such a statement.


    However, Zhou Shengqing had not mentioned another matter to Nu Jiang; his main reason for going there was to prevent the Golden Wind Ancestor from shamelessly coming in person.


    ¡°With Junior Brother Chen¡¯s Sword Dao Realm, if the opponent is merely a Golden Core Cultivator, there¡¯s absolutely no need for us to make a move.¡±


    Mo Douguang couldn¡¯t help but comment after hearing this.


    Chen Mobai had a Fourth Order Sword at his disposal. Among all the Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, he was probably the only one who could rival them with the realm of Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    ¡°One on one, naturally no one is a match for Junior Brother Chen, but what if there¡¯s more than one?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing uttered a phrase that surprised both Mo Douguang and Nu Jiang.


    Above the Eastern Wilderness, there were only a handful of Core Formation cultivators not from their faction; moreover, given Zhou Ye¡¯s character, he definitely wouldn¡¯t leave the Hunyuan Immortal City.


    ¡°Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace!?¡±


    A flash of realization crossed Nu Jiang¡¯s mind, guessing the truth.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, Third Junior Brother is indeed clever. I hope the Golden Wind old ghost doesn¡¯t send too many Core Formation cultivators; otherwise, if all are defeated by Junior Brother Chen, I fear he¡¯ll directly surrender facing the Kong Sang Valley!¡±


    Amidst Zhou Shengqing¡¯s laughter, he completed his last chess move, decisively defeating Nu Jiang¡¯s big dragon.


    ¡­


    In Dongyi Mingjing Mountain.


    In the grand hall of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the Golden Wind Ancestor sat upright in his seat, flanked by six Core Formation cultivators in golden robes, each with distinct appearances.


    ¡°This time, the assassination of Chen Guixian from Divine Wood Sect will be handed over to Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi; you both must ensure he doesn¡¯t escape. In coordination with Fang Xuanyang, execute him on the spot, then clean up the Eastern Desolation Plateau to establish our sect¡¯s retreat.¡±


    The Golden Wind Ancestor, with a stern demeanor, selected two individuals and Xuan Shu along with another elderly man of curious appearance stepped forward, respectfully saluting him.


    ¡°Ancestor, Chen Guixian has a Fourth Order Sword, and his cultivation level has now broken through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage. He will clearly be more troublesome. I¡¯m worried about repeating the same scenario as with Ku Zhu. Perhaps we should also include Sisters Xuan Yi and Xuan Wo. With the five of us taking action and setting up the Golden Light Array, we surely won¡¯t fail.¡±


    The old man named Xuan Qi, evidently of a cautious character, had already reviewed the intelligence sent by Fang Xuanyang and voiced his opinion immediately after being selected.


    ¡°Just Chen Guixian, I alone am sufficient; Brother Xuan Qi can support me.¡±


    But before the Golden Wind Ancestor could speak, Xuan Shu calmly made a very proud remark.


    ¡°Junior Brother, unless I am remembering wrong, the last time you went to the Eastern Wilderness, you had an encounter with the newly formed Core Chen Guixian. With your late stage of Core Formation, you could only manage a draw with him.¡±


    Xuan Qi, furrowing his brow, mentioned something that caused Xuan Shu¡¯s expression to turn cold.


    ¡°That Magic Duel, Chen Guixian was backed by the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, which is why I didn¡¯t pursue and thus maintained a tie. Moreover, I have already gauged his limits from that encounter. His maximum capability was swinging that Fourth Order Sword thrice. Now although he has advanced to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage, in these sixteen years, I have also broken through and attained the strongest realm just below Nascent Soul!¡±


    As Xuan Shu spoke, his eyes shimmered like two golden stars, radiating dazzling light. Then an overwhelming aura erupted from him that startled all the Core Formation cultivators present in the hall.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Xuan Qi, being the oldest Core Formation cultivator of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, instantly sensed Xuan Shu¡¯s current realm, widening his eyes in both shock and joy.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing didn¡¯t kill me, but instead allowed me to reach Perfection in Core Formation. I will repay this debt with Chen Guixian¡¯s head and the downfall of Divine Wood Sect.¡±

    The aura of Perfection that burst from Xuan Shu, along with his confident words, brought smiles to the faces of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s Core Formation cultivators who had been under the shadow of Ku Zhu in the Kong Sang Valley for some time.


    Even the two who usually clashed with Xuan Shu were genuinely hoping that this Taoist Child could resolve the grudge in his heart in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve cleared the Eastern Wilderness, I will prepare the resources for your Nascent Soul Formation, hoping you won¡¯t disappoint me again!¡±


    Golden Wind Ancestor promised as he spoke.


    Upon hearing this, Xuan Shu immediately turned around and respectfully saluted,


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±

 Chapter 1223 - Chapter 1223 Chapter 672 Reencountering Xuan Shu

    Chapter 1223: Chapter 672: Reencountering Xuan Shu Chapter 1223: Chapter 672: Reencountering Xuan Shu This year, Chen Mobai celebrated his sixtieth birthday.


    Before heading to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, he made a special trip back to the Immortal Gate since many relatives and friends had sent messages to congratulate him.


    The Immortal Gate paid great attention to one¡¯s sixtieth birthday celebration. Originally, according to Tang Panchui¡¯s wishes, it was to be grandly celebrated, but Chen Mobai, being naturally reserved, only invited his relatives for a simple family banquet.


    After dining with his family, Chen Mobai joined Yan Bingxuan and other friends for a meal.


    Unfortunately, many people were overly reverent towards him.


    This made Chen Mobai feel a sense of loneliness and desolation.


    After the dinner, he and Yan Bingxuan, the only one he could still interact with normally, had a nighttime snack and shared his lament about the decreasing number of close friends.


    The next morning, after making phone calls to friends who couldn¡¯t attend, Chen Mobai returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    In Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo, he calmly brewed tea and served Chen Mobai, Mo Douguang, and Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Junior Brother Mo should return to Golden Cliff tomorrow, and it¡¯s best to make some noise when you go back, let people know,¡± Zhou Shengqing suggested.


    Now, Mo Douguang, publicly recognized as the foremost Golden Core Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, who possessed formidable combat power, was the person the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s adversaries most dreaded.


    If Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace intended to kill Chen Mobai, they would definitely ascertain his whereabouts to avoid encountering him unexpectedly.


    Surprised by Zhou Shengqing¡¯s arrangement, Mo Douguang nonetheless did not object and simply nodded his agreement.


    ¡°Junior Brother Fu should also stay in the Sect, letting others think that Junior Brother Chen whimsically wants to inspect the progress on the plateau,¡± Zhou Shengqing continued.


    Fu Zongjue also nodded his approval. With Zhou Shengqing around, unless the Golden Wind Ancestor personally came from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, even if all six Golden Cores except Fang Xuanyang attacked the Eastern Wilderness, they would be easily defeated.


    Zhou Shengqing suggested, ¡°Before we leave, let¡¯s have someone take care of Du Feng, as he¡¯s no longer of any use.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already made arrangements.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing presented a Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman he had refined, ¡°Junior Brother Chen, since you¡¯re risking yourself, take this for now to guard against the suicidal attempts of Xuan Xiao¡¯s Golden Core Cultivators.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked him, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡±


    The four discussed the possibility of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace losing too many Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness and being unable to confront Kong Sang Valley in the East Barbarians.


    ¡°Now, even if the Golden Wind Ancestor personally leads all cultivators from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, relying on the Large Formation and terrain advantage, we are confident we can hold them off. After Brother Zhou¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, we need not fear anymore. Besides, having cultivated a foundation for a thousand years, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace in the East Barbarians wouldn¡¯t easily give up until the bitter end,¡± Zhou Shengqing asserted.


    Chen Mobai voiced his opinion on this, gaining nods of agreement from Zhou Shengqing and others.


    ¡°This time, since Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is actively targeting Junior Brother Chen, we cannot endure any longer. After we eliminate Fang Xuanyang and others, the Sect will mobilize and prepare for battle against Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    ¡°If Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace indeed comes from the East Barbarians, the first battlefield they encounter will be on the Eastern Desolation Plateau. The Northern Abyss City¡¯s Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation currently is only Rank-3. If it cannot be upgraded to Rank-4, it may not withstand a battle involving Nascent Soul Level power.¡±


    ¡°For a decisive strategic victory, and to ensure the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s inland regions remain unaffected by war, we need to keep the battle confined to the plateau, preventing Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s forces from descending.¡±


    In the room was also a three-dimensional topographical map of the entire Eastern Desolate Frontier produced by the Spirit Vein Division, which Zhou Shengqing pointed at as he discussed contingency plans should war with Sky Country and Rock Country occur.


    ¡°Can we strike first and halt the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace army at The Ruins?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s remark made Zhou Shengqing and the others reflect. Although The Ruins were fraught with danger, rumored even to harbor Rank-4 demonic beings, pushing the battlefield there would be more beneficial than detrimental to the Divine Wood Sect and the whole Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, the Eastern Desolation Plateau had been developed over many years, just reaching a point of yielding constant benefits; a major battle here would likely destroy much of Zhuo Ming and others¡¯ hard work.


    Furthermore, if a battle involving Nascent Soul Level power truly erupted, the Northern Abyss City, only shielded by a Rank-3 Large Formation, could potentially be leveled.


    ¡°After eliminating the incoming forces from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, I¡¯ll personally visit The Ruins to check for any dangerous demonic beasts or evil entities,¡± Zhou Shengqing declared, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator proficient in the defense-intensive Immortality Scripture, confident in escaping even if he encountered a Rank-4 adversary.


    After their discussion, each departed separately.


    The next day, Mo Douguang openly used the Teleportation Array in front of many Divine Wood Sect disciples to leave Giant Tree Ridge.

    Naturally, Du Feng immediately learned of this and used an Identical Seal Talisman to inform the operatives of the Restoration Society stationed outside Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡­


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance!¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Zheng Deming respectfully bowed to Chen Mobai before him.


    ¡°There is a traitor within the Sect who has leaked many important details. Would you be willing to eliminate him on my behalf?¡±

 Chapter 1224 - Chapter 1224 Chapter 672 Meeting Xuan Shu Again_2

    Chapter 1224: Chapter 672: Meeting Xuan Shu Again_2 Chapter 1224: Chapter 672: Meeting Xuan Shu Again_2 After imparting the insights on Core Formation, Chen Mobai asked a question.


    ¡°Sect Master, please give your orders!¡±


    Zheng Deming had guarded Yun Meng Ze for nearly a century and was known as the most lethal Foundation Establishment Practitioner of the Divine Wood Sect, he did not hesitate in the slightest.


    ¡°Wen Bo is waiting for you at the entrance, he will tell you who the traitor is.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and waved, and Zheng Deming immediately rose and departed from Shenmu Hall.


    At the entrance of the grand hall,


    Zheng Deming noticed that, besides the Sect Leader¡¯s Eldest Disciple, there was also a slightly plump Qi Practitioner. Although unfamiliar, his presence meant he must be significant. After greeting Liu Wenbo, he also nodded slightly in acknowledgment.


    ¡°This is my disciple, Song Huangdae. He is a bit confused about his cultivation, so I asked him to come and seek guidance from the Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo introduced him briefly, mentioning that Song Huangdae was a third-generation disciple from Xiao Nanshan, causing Zheng Deming to look suddenly enlightened.


    After Song Huangdae bowed to Zheng Deming, he took an Identical Seal Talisman he had just finished writing and entered Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Brother Zheng, please come with me. The traitor is an Elder from the Transmission Department who received a task today to buy a batch of fine jade for making Jade Slips. He has already used the Teleportation Array to travel to Yuhu Market.¡±


    Liu Wenbo warmly invited Zheng Deming, who nodded thoughtfully, seeing this as a good opportunity to build ties with the Sect Leader¡¯s lineage and determined to perform this task impeccably.


    ¡­


    Du Feng frowned slightly, unhappy that the famous Yuhu Market, known for its jade, couldn¡¯t procure the quality of jade required by the Sect, a task he had expected to complete that very day.


    However, since the market was managed by the Fu family¡¯s ancestral line, he dared not show his displeasure.


    ¡°Elder Du, the latest batch of fine jade ore hasn¡¯t been shipped from the mines yet. Maybe you could wait a few more days; I¡¯ll immediately arrange for Spirit Beasts to haul it here.¡±


    The Shopkeeper of the Fu family said apologetically. Since there was no Teleportation Array at the mine, transportation of the jade ore relied solely on Spirit Beasts.


    ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go there myself.¡±


    Being a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, Du Feng had a large enough Storage Bag and was willing to fly there himself. He might even be able to return before dark.


    ¡°It¡¯s tough on you, Elder Du. This is the contract; just show it to the person in charge at the mine, and he will hand over the goods to you.¡±


    The Shopkeeper from the Fu family immediately handed a Spirit Inscribed paper respectfully with both hands to Du Feng, who casually took it and inserted it into his sleeve, then left the shop.


    Looking undisturbed, Du Feng walked out of the market and then flew up into the air using Escaping Light.


    An hour later, he landed midway atop a barren mountain void of Spiritual Energy.


    At the peak was a large locust tree known as the Ghost Tree because its trunk was covered in holes of various sizes, rumored to be the dwellings of solitary souls and wild ghosts.


    Perched on one of the tree branches was a crow-shaped puppet. Du Feng took out the exhausted Spirit Stone from within the puppet and replaced it with a new one.


    He had left this puppet here with a single purpose¨Cto activate the Identical Seal Talisman when Song Huangdae sent messages.


    Similarly, there were six setups near Giant Tree Ridge, four of which were puppets, and two were Cultivators from the Restoration Society.


    From one of the tree holes, Du Feng took out a piece of yellow paper.


    It bore a message from Song Huangdae transmitted with the Identical Seal Talisman, which contained vital information in Du Feng¡¯s view.


    [Zheng Deming has reached Foundation Establishment Completion using a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit, and the Sect Master has called him back to impart the Core Formation Insights.]


    After reading, Du Feng¡¯s expression subtly changed.


    The Divine Wood Sect had gained another seed likely to attain Core Formation, which caused great discomfort to him as an undercover agent.


    He also needed to immediately inform the Restoration Society to see if there was an opportunity to kill Zheng Deming in Yun Meng Ze.


    Just as Du Feng was preparing to leave by navigating the Escaping Light, a yellowish Flying Sword soared across the sky, forcing him to a halt.


    ¡°Who dares to attack me, an Elder of the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    Du Feng took out a Black Tortoise shield from his Storage Bag to block the Flying Sword and yelled fiercely toward the two streaks of Escaping Light approaching from the sky.


    But as soon as the Escaping Light reached him, Du Feng¡¯s face instantly turned deathly pale.


    ¡°Brother Du, by Master¡¯s command, I am here to take your life!¡±


    Liu Wenbo¡¯s expression remained calm as he addressed Du Feng, while Zheng Deming, without uttering a word, once again spurred his flying sword, unleashing a more terrifying and substantial burst of sword light in a ferocious slash.


    ¡°The day has finally come, huh¡­¡±


    As soon as Du Feng saw Liu Wenbo, the Sect Leader¡¯s Eldest Disciple, he knew no explanation would suffice.


    He had anticipated this day a long time ago; however, he had always harbored a slight hope. That¡¯s why, even after the fall of Liu Jia Mountain, he still hadn¡¯t left.


    Driven by the instinct to survive, Du Feng took out all of his trump cards from the storage bag, barely fending off the assaults from Zheng Deming¡¯s flying sword.


    Shortly after, he was struck midair and fell onto the mountain peak.


    Struggling to his feet, Du Feng noticed the crow puppet perched on a branch.


    Suddenly, he thought of Song Huangdae, who had risked sending him messages, deciding that even in his death, he must leave a spark for the Restoration Society to counter the Divine Wood Sect.


    Du Feng pulled out a Rank-3 spirit talisman, his last ace, and launched it at Zheng Deming and Liu Wenbo in midair. Then, while they were dodging, he used the crow puppet to send one last message to Song Huangdae using the Identical Seal Talisman.


    [I have been exposed, be cautious in hiding!]


    After sending this message, Du Feng smashed the puppet with one palm and then kicked a locust tree, breaking it in half. He then flew away with his flying sword and shield, employing the Blood Transference Technique, fleeing in a random direction.


    Unfortunately, he was far less capable than Zheng Deming, and after fleeing for ten miles, he was caught up with.


    The flying sword swept across, and Du Feng, drained of vitality, could no longer defend himself, his head severed from his body.


    Meanwhile, two Qi Practitioners of the Restoration Society hiding near Giant Tree Ridge were also killed by Yue Zutao with his men.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sect Leader, mission accomplished without dishonor!¡±


    Inside Shenmu Hall, Zheng Deming presented Du Feng¡¯s head and storage bag to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Well done. Consider this mission as thirty hundred contributions. I will have Yue Zutao add it for you.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he pointed a finger, took Du Feng¡¯s storage bag effortlessly, erased the Divine Consciousness Imprint inside, and handed it to Song Huang, who stood beside him.


    ¡°You played a significant role in this matter, take it as a gift. The contents will be useful to you.¡±


    Song Huang immediately received it with both hands and thanked him. Then, hesitating, he handed over the Identical Seal Talisman he had just received to Chen Mobai, who could not help but smile slightly upon seeing it.


    ¡°This is good, at least you haven¡¯t been exposed. This identity might still be useful in the future.¡±


    ¡­


    Elsewhere, Chen Mobai¡¯s true body and Zhou Shengqing had already traveled via the teleportation array to Rock Country.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet that was overseeing everything.


    Still in the incredibly desolate Changzhuan Mountain Market, not long after the two stepped out of the teleportation array, they noticed two Golden Core Cultivators in golden robes waiting.


    The one on the left was Xuan Shu, someone Chen Mobai was very familiar with.


    ¡°Eh, why only you two? Where is Fang Xuanyang?¡±


    Seeing an old man beside Xuan Shu, Chen Mobai was slightly perplexed and asked.


    ¡°Oh, you knew we were coming to kill you?¡±


    Seeing his composed demeanor, Xuan Shu was somewhat surprised and glanced at Zhou Shengqing, who walked out beside Chen Mobai wearing a wooden mask.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Is he your reliance? Must be Mo Douguang!¡±


    Xuan Shu spoke calmly. Having achieved Perfect Core Formation and invincible under Nascent Soul, he was confident that even if Mo Douguang and Chen Mobai joined forces, they would not pose a threat to him.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question.¡±


    Chen Mobai, wanting to test the strength of his newly mastered Extreme Sun Slash, did not let Zhou Shengqing take action directly. However, the absence of Fang Xuanyang, a Golden Core Cultivator who had been operating in the Eastern Wilderness for over a decade from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, was quite unexpected to him.


    ¡°Brother Xuanyang is kind-hearted; he didn¡¯t want Sect Master Chen to travel the Yellow Springs Path alone, so he specifically went to kill your beloved disciple first, sending her on her way.¡±

 Chapter 1225 - Chapter 1225 Chapter 673 Luo Yixuan Takes Action (18400

    Chapter 1225: Chapter 673: Luo Yixuan Takes Action (18,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1225: Chapter 673: Luo Yixuan Takes Action (18,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Zhuo Ming led Luo Yixuan, Yin Qingmei, and others to a place called Lan Chuan Mountain.


    When White River had advanced to this location, it suddenly hit an obstacle.


    The Hua family, which had contracted this section of the project, struck a vein of Lan Liu Stone during excavation, a type of ore highly suitable for refining and condensing True Fire.


    Moreover, adding a piece during Artifact Refining or Alchemy could increase the flame temperature by one level.


    Upon discovering this mineral, the first thought of the Hua family was whether they could keep it for themselves.


    However, after Hua Zhong, the Family Head, and Hua Fan, an old Foundation Establishment ancestor, visited the site and pondered over it for two days, they ultimately sighed in helplessness and reported the matter to Northern Abyss City.


    Because the Lan Liu Stone vein could not be hidden.


    It lay precisely above the excavation route of White River.


    They had contracted this section, and every ten to fifteen days, a monk from the Divine Wood Sect would come to inspect the progress.


    Even if they managed to deceive someone temporarily, by the time of contract completion, when Zhuo Ming personally came to inspect and take over, it would certainly be exposed.


    By then, even if the Hua family had extracted a considerable amount of Lan Liu Stone, if they wished to continue to operate in the Eastern Wilderness, they would have to surrender all of it to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, it was conceivable that should they engage in such actions, they would infuriate Sect Master Chen, who was ruthless in his killings.


    Thus, after repeated deliberation, the two principal members of the Hua family decided that the precious Lan Liu Stone vein was not worth such a cost and reported it resolutely, hoping that their discovery might earn them additional contracts from the Divine Wood Sect.


    There was another problem. After discovering the vein, the Hua family¡¯s ordinary Qi Practitioners fell significantly behind schedule on the river excavation according to the contractual agreement, requiring people from Northern Abyss City to come over and discuss how to resolve this issue.


    Upon hearing of the Lan Liu Stone, Zhuo Ming immediately brought people over.


    ¡°If I took action, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to forcefully carve through, but doing so would damage this vein.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was the first to express her opinion. Her External Incarnation, coupled with her Fourth Order Moonlight Blade, could flatten the mountain without any issues.


    ¡°That would be too wasteful. This Lan Liu Stone vein is not small; if excavated intact, it would be worth at least a million Spirit Stones, equivalent to Rock Country¡¯s yearly Spirit Rice income.¡±


    After a simple use of All Things Spiritual Communication to communicate with the land veins of Lan Chuan Mountain, Zhuo Ming roughly knew the value of this vein and immediately shook her head after listening to Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Then, we can only alter the route!¡±


    Yin Qingmei spoke up unconcernedly after hearing the discussion.


    Although the plans for two major rivers on the blueprint were 99% consistent with practical surveys, there were still some unexpected circumstances requiring a change of the original plan.


    Prior to Lan Chuan Mountain, they had found a valley containing a Rank-3 Spirit Vein, with a forest of Red Willows at its center, holding five Rank-3 Green Red Willows.


    This Red Willow forest naturally formed a Formation that could conceal Spiritual Energy, so it was not initially discovered by the Earth Masters of the Divine Wood Sect. Forcing excavation would inevitably damage the Spirit Vein and even affect the growth of a large area of Spirit Plants.


    After much consideration, Zhuo Ming decided to curve around them.


    The same was true for Lan Chuan Mountain¡¯s Lan Liu Stone vein; after weighing the options, they also chose to change direction.


    After deciding, Zhuo Ming called over the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hua family.


    ¡°Let¡¯s modify this section of the project, but as for how specifically to change it, that will have to wait until I¡¯ve surveyed the nearby area¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s words were cut off as a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy swiftly approached them and arrived in front of them in an instant.


    Fang Xuanyang, in a golden robe with sharp eagle-like eyes, arrived on a beam of Jinguang (Golden Light). Under the glaring sunlight, his entire being radiated a dazzling brilliance, and the aura of Core Formation captured the soul, causing the two Foundation Establishment Hua family members to visibly change color.


    ¡°Who goes there!¡±


    Luo Yixuan stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of Fang Xuanyang.


    ¡°From the Nanxuan Sect, I am Fang Xuanyang, here to take the lives of you three, so that Sect Master Chen won¡¯t be lonely on the path to Yellow Springs.¡±


    As Fang Xuanyang spoke, he held a Golden Halberd in his hand, casually infusing it with a bit of Spiritual Power, and hurled it toward Luo Yixuan, who stood before him like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.


    In his eyes, his Sun Shooting Halberd Technique would skewer the three Core Formation cultivators in front like threading gourds, killing them all.


    But something unexpected happened!


    A cold smile crossed Luo Yixuan¡¯s lips, and a chilling aura surged from her shadow, transforming into a figure and merging into her body.


    Her snow-white, slender right hand then lifted and directly grasped the Golden Halberd Fang Xuanyang had thrown.


    With a ¡°clang,¡± Luo Yixuan¡¯s fingers tightened slightly and the halberd snapped, and she disdainfully tossed it back onto the ground in front of Fang Xuanyang.


    ¡°Who are you!¡±


    Fang Xuanyang¡¯s hawk-like eyes suddenly narrowed, and he frowned, looking incredulously at the eerily beautiful female cultivator in front of him, wearing palace attire and with skin so pale it was almost transparent.


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect, Xiao Nanshan Lineage, Luo Yixuan! Weren¡¯t you coming for us?¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s lips curled with a mocking sneer, stating her identity.


    ¡°When did you form your Golden Core?¡±


    Fang Xuanyang found it somewhat hard to accept. Core Formation must be accompanied by a Heavenly Tribulation, and he couldn¡¯t believe that his Restoration Society had failed to uncover even this piece of information.


    But now the fact was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe.


    ¡°It should have been six years ago,¡± Luo Yixuan said in an even tone. Hearing this, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s anxiety eased slightly.


    If she had achieved Core Formation six years ago, even if she was as talented as her master Chen Guixian, she would only be at the early stage of Golden Core at most.


    With his own realm at the peak of mid Core Formation, coupled with a century¡¯s experience in magical duels, he was sure he could easily defeat her.


    At this moment, Fang Xuanyang also felt fortunate that he had waited until Luo Yixuan and the other two had left their residence before ambushing them. Otherwise, in Northern Abyss City, relying on her Rank-3 Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation, he would have really been at a loss.


    ¡°What a pity, such a talented pair of master and disciple will both die at the hands of my Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace today¡­¡±


    Fang Xuanyang¡¯s ruthless words were cut off when he saw Luo Yixuan draw a pure white crescent blade from her storage bag.


    As the Moonlight Blade appeared, the strong aura it exuded immediately made Fang Xuanyang¡¯s eyes widen.


    A Fourth-grade Magical Weapon!


    How does the disciple have one too?


    Chen Mobai having a Fourth Order Sword was because he was the Longevity Sect¡¯s Saint Son, but what about Luo Yixuan?


    As Fang Xuanyang hesitated over whether to continue the fight, Luo Yixuan had already swung the Moonlight Blade, casting a beautiful arc of pure white light towards him.


    Faced with the terrifying aura of the fourth-grade weapon, Fang Xuanyang finally understood what he was up against.


    He flung out a handful of Golden Pearls, which formed a glittering golden screen in a formation pattern, then immediately applied the Jinguang Escape Method, retreating explosively.


    As expected, the golden screen could only hold against the pure white arc of light for a mere two breaths before being slashed through.


    However, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s figure had already taken the opportunity to leave the spot, and even flew far away, then ran without looking back!


    Luo Yixuan, feeling almost a third of her Yellow Springs Spiritual Power drained from her body, couldn¡¯t help but click her tongue in wonder.


    This was the first time she had exerted the power of a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon.


    ¡°Chase him!¡±


    At this time, Elder Ming¡¯s voice rang out in Luo Yixuan¡¯s Sea of Consciousness; she was initially puzzled but soon understood the reason.


    As a Golden Core Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s brazen attempt to bully the weak was a clear sign that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was ready to strike against the Divine Wood Sect in full force.


    He also mentioned earlier that in addition to himself, others were also making moves against Chen Mobai.


    Luo Yixuan, the most trusted disciple of her master, realized under Elder Ming¡¯s reminder that what she needed to do was follow Fang Xuanyang, a Golden Core enemy force cultivator.


    This would not only tie him up to prevent him from joining the attack on Chen Mobai but also avoid Fang Xuanyang striking out in frustration against the Divine Wood Sect Monks busy with constructions all over Rock Country.


    After realizing this, Luo Yixuan told Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei, then, holding the Moonlight Blade, pursued the mere speck that was Fang Xuanyang¡¯s remaining outline in the sky.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back to Northern Abyss City for now!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, well-versed in Chen Mobai¡¯s teachings, immediately decided to take Yin Qingmei back to safety under such circumstances.


    It was only then that Yin Qingmei recovered from her shock at Luo Yixuan having formed a Golden Core, a fact that within the Divine Wood Sect, only the Xiao Nanshan Lineage and Zhou Fu knew.


    But at the moment, the impending major battle with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace once again filled Yin Qingmei with anxiety; that was a Nascent Soul Major Faction, after all.


    However, with a foster father to bear the falling sky, it was better to seek refuge first.


    ¡°Alright, thank you, junior sister.¡±


    Yin Qingmei nodded, promptly descending into the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, then Zhuo Ming retracted this magical artifact and vanished from the spot using the Earth Escape Technique.


    In a blink, all that remained here was the Hua family cultivators with a baffled expression.


    Hua Zhong and Hua Fan, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, glanced at each other and inhaled sharply in unison.


    ¡°Quick, quick, quick, gather all the clan members, drop the ongoing construction projects, and rush back to our homeland at the fastest speed.¡±


    With their insights, they had naturally realized by now that from the moment Fang Xuanyang made his move, conflict between Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Divine Wood Sect had become inevitable.


    The outcome of this war, even at their level, they didn¡¯t dare guess who would win or lose.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    One was the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness, while the other was an Eastern Yi Clan seated by a Nascent Soul.


    But they knew that either power could easily wipe out their Hua family.


    So as the first to know about this, the two could only hope that their clan¡¯s Rank-3 Formation would protect their family through what was sure to be a brutally fierce conflict.


    ¡°Who would have thought that Sect Master Chen¡¯s second disciple had already formed her Golden Core. Truly fitting to the Southern Mountain Fairy, akin to Sect Master Chen, the Divine Wood Sect kept her Core Formation ceremony hidden so deeply. It seems they had long anticipated a major battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace¡­¡±


    As they led the clan disciples away, the two Foundation Establishment members of the Hua family couldn¡¯t help but admire Chen Mobai¡¯s foresight.

 Chapter 1226 - Chapter 1226 Chapter 674

    Chapter 1226: Chapter 674 Chapter 1226: Chapter 674 In Chang Zhuan Mountain Market, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback after hearing the words of the old man beside Xuan Shu.


    He went to find Ming¡¯er and the others!


    With Xuan having the Moonlight Blade in hand and being controlled by the old ghost Elder Ming, she should be able to kill Fang Xuanyang, right?


    While Chen Mobai was thinking this, the figure of Xuan Shu in front of him suddenly blurred, and then a turquoise-golden radiance abruptly appeared in front of him, slashing at his neck with the speed of lightning faster than one could cover their ears.


    In a flash of flames, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure, which was nicked across the neck by Xuan Shu¡¯s Heavenly Wind Finger, suddenly dispersed into sparks that filled the sky.


    Xuan Shu slightly frowned, his figure becoming blurred once more, disappearing from his original position.


    At this moment, the true body of Chen Mobai appeared right behind Xuan Shu using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, and a surge of Golden Flame burst fiercely from his palm like sword light, sweeping across the afterimage left by Xuan Shu where he initially stood.


    The two¡¯s exchange had happened in the blink of an eye, their speed so fast that even Zhou Shengqing beside them had almost failed to see clearly.


    ¡°The speed of Wind Escape is, indeed, elegant.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with some admiration to Xuan Shu, who had returned to his original place. He reached out to touch his neck, where there was a line of blood, the very wound that Xuan Shu had inflicted with his Heavenly Wind Finger.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for his Earth Departing Flame Light Escape which had also achieved the realm of moving with his thoughts, he feared that it wouldn¡¯t have been just a cut on his skin.


    ¡°The inheritance of the Longevity Sect isn¡¯t bad,¡± Xuan Shu noted, nodding in recognition as he saw the line of blood on Chen Mobai¡¯s neck emitting a faint green light, and the wound completely healed within a few breaths.


    ¡°Junior brother, should I make a move?¡± Zhou Shengqing, wearing a mask, asked from not too far away.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, let my junior brother have a one-on-one Magic Duel with Sect Master Chen. If you¡¯re itching for a fight, I could spare some time to entertain you,¡± Xuan Qi said with a smile, taking out a Golden Halberd from his Storage Bag and reminding Zhou Shengqing that it was better for him to watch from the sidelines.


    As the oldest Golden Core Cultivator in the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and with his realm having ground to the Core Formation Late Stage, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit might be on the decline, but his experience in Magic Duels was the most abundant. Moreover, with two Fourth-grade Spirit Talismans as his trump cards, he believed he could effortlessly hold off even Mo Douguang, the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Zhou Shengqing heard Xuan Qi¡¯s words, his eyes narrowing slightly under the mask, but then he suddenly laughed.


    In his over three hundred years of life, he never felt as amused as he did now.


    ¡°Rest assured, today Xuan Shu will only die by my hand,¡± Chen Mobai said, uttering words that caused both Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi¡¯s expression to change.


    ¡°Arrogant!¡± Xuan Shu scoffed, deciding not to hold back any longer.


    With a booming sound, a turquoise-golden whirlwind formed around him, sweeping through the Spiritual Energy from all directions.


    With a swoosh, a series of brilliantly gleaming Golden Halberds, carrying a piercing light as if a volley of arrows was launched, flew towards Chen Mobai one by one.


    Chen Mobai had already faced the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique countless times.


    But without a doubt, Xuan Shu¡¯s spell was more terrifying than any member of the Nanxuan sect he had encountered before.


    Empowered by his Perfect Core Formation, each Golden Halberd that shot out from the whirlwind carried the power of a Third Rank Peak.


    Even Mo Douguang, if he were here, would only rely on the speed of the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound to dodge!


    However, Chen Mobai stood still, unmoving.


    An ancient Mirror flew out from his sleeve and hovered above his head, erupting instantly into a golden radiant fire shield that enveloped him entirely.


    All the flying Golden Halberds that met the flames shield melted like gold put into magma, instantly turning into liquid gold that slid down, pouring onto the ground to form a perfect golden ring.


    This ancient Mirror was naturally Chen Mobai¡¯s Haotian Mirror.


    For this Magic Duel, he had already had Yin Qingmei return it in advance, and even replaced the original mirror frame with Fourth-grade Everlife Wood.


    Thus, the power of the Haotian Mirror was fully unleashed.


    However, the Mirror was after all based on the Six Yang God Fire Mirror, so to defend against the Sun Shooting Halberd Technique, what was used were two inlaid Pure Yang Spells!


    Pure Yang Fire and Mysterious Yang Divine Light.


    While upgrading to the Haotian Mirror, Chen Mobai had also consulted Hong Mengkui, planning ahead for the amalgamation of these two spells into an integrated attack-and-defense ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± setting.


    And the key to merging these two spells was the Great Sun Fire.


    The Pure Yang Fire, when refined with the Pure Yang Spiritual Power¡¯s alchemical flame, could ascend to become one of the six treasures of the Immortal Gate, the Great Sun Qianyang Fire.


    The inspiration for this ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± came from there.

    With its first use, it easily blocked the barrage of Sun Shooting Halberd Technique unleashed by Xuan Shu.


    ¡°Another powerful Magic Artifact of the Longevity Sect, huh? You¡¯re lucky!¡± Xuan Shu said, frowning at the sight, but since he had dared to come to the Eastern Wilderness to assassinate Chen Mobai, he had naturally anticipated this.


    After all, he had found a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon in the ruins of the Fanhai Sect.


    But his Golden Mirage Pearl was specifically reserved to match Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Lightning Sword, so facing the integrated attack-and-defense ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield,¡± Xuan Shu used his most proud spell after achieving Perfect Core Formation!


    With a gesture of his hand, the whirlwind encompassing him suddenly began to contract, constantly tightening into shape, turning into a spiraling turquoise-golden glow.

 Chapter 1227 - Chapter 1227 Chapter 674_2

    Chapter 1227: Chapter 674_2 Chapter 1227: Chapter 674_2 Xuan Shu¡¯s figure blurred on the spot and he had already landed in front of Chen Mobai.


    He extended his hand and raised his forefinger, drawing a spiral beam of cyan and gold, which he lightly touched upon the flame light shield.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression changed slightly as he poured the Pure Yang Spiritual Power from within his Dantian Qi Sea into the Haotian Mirror, pushing the power of the ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± to its limit.


    The golden flame light shield twisted and shrank under the cyan and gold spiral, inching toward Chen Mobai¡¯s brow.


    ¡°A Rank-4 spell?!¡±


    After resisting for a few breaths, Chen Mobai finally realized why Xuan Shu dared to resist his Haotian Mirror with a single finger.


    With a bang!


    The ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± could no longer hold up under the Rank-4 Heavenly Wind Finger, disintegrating into a sky full of sparks.


    But after Xuan Shu shattered the flame light shield, he did not see the despair on Chen Mobai¡¯s face that he had expected to see.


    ¡°I will shatter your most prideful Sword Dao once again, and completely break your Dao Heart!¡±


    Xuan Shu¡¯s tone was ice cold as he ruthlessly aimed his cyan and gold forefinger spiral at Chen Mobai¡¯s brow.


    Then, he saw a faint white light that twisted even the void itself, leaping from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    The white light was like lightning, brilliantly dazzling!


    But what made Xuan Shu¡¯s eyes widen in disbelief was the incredible swiftness of the white light, which had been released later yet managed to withstand his Heavenly Wind Finger.


    Soon he felt a scorching heat on his forefinger, and in the blink of an eye, his skin began to burn and his flesh to boil, making it look as though the bone within would be revealed. He immediately stopped his Wind Escape and hastily retreated!


    But Chen Mobai, having struck with the Extreme Sun Slash, naturally would not let him off easily!


    The Earth Departing Flame Light Escape was deployed at the same time, charging in front of the retreating Xuan Shu who had just used Wind Escape.


    The faint white light, under the guidance of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, was like a blinding electrical flash in the void, piercing through wall after wall of wind in the blink of an eye.


    However, Xuan Shu took this opportunity to once again pull away.


    At the same time, he raised another one of his fingers, fury within his brow, unleashing the full potential of his Rank-4 Heavenly Wind Finger to the utmost limit he could bear!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s successful refinement of the Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash was indeed beyond Xuan Shu¡¯s expectations. Moreover, his Wind Spiritual Power naturally was restrained by Chen Mobai¡¯s Fire Spiritual Power. However, Xuan Shu believed that with his Perfect Core Formation¡¯s profound Spiritual Power, he would certainly far surpass Chen Mobai, who had just broken through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.


    The amount of Spiritual Power needed for a Rank-4 spell was something Xuan Shu was well aware of, so upon discovering the Extreme Sun Slash, he immediately adopted a new Magic Duel strategy.


    The cyan and gold tornado rose up once more!


    Xuan Shu directly engaged the incoming faint white light with brute force, clashing once again!


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised, but this was exactly what he was hoping for. A hint of golden lines faintly emerged in the pupil of his left eye.


    Amidst the booming noises, the two Rank-4 spells clashed head-on, unleashing a terrifying Spiritual Power Fluctuation that caused the nearby Xuan Qi to involuntarily change his expression.


    This Sect Master Chen from the East Wasteland Village truly possessed an incredible talent, far more frightening than the rumors suggested!


    It should be noted that in the past, Ancestor Hunyuan made a name for himself in the Six Domains of East Land, partly due to the unstoppable Extreme Sun Slash he wielded!


    Fortunately, Xuan Shu had also cultivated the Rank-4 Heavenly Wind Finger, or else upon seeing the Extreme Sun Slash, Xuan Qi would have run back to the East Barbarians without looking back.


    While Xuan Qi was thinking this, Chen Mobai and Xuan Shu had already exchanged blows a dozen times in midair, moving so fast they left behind image after image.


    They fought and moved, and in no time, the sky above Mount Chang Zhuan was filled with their figures.


    Finally, they collided into the mountainside with a terrifying Spiritual Power Fluctuation, shattering half of the mountaintop with an earth-shattering rumble!


    Amongst the clouds of dust, the cyan and gold tornado and the faint white light were like two bolts of lightning continuously clashing and sparking, unleashing an even more vast and terrifying Spiritual Pressure.


    [This Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, he sure is tenacious!]


    Xuan Qi, standing by, saw the Extreme Sun Slash¡¯s white light being suppressed by the spiraling aqua-gold color several times, but each time it was about to be completely extinguished, it erupted into bright light again as if fuel had been poured on it, and he couldn¡¯t help but admire in amazement.


    But what he did not know was that Xuan Shu, who was facing off against Chen Mobai, was becoming more and more terrified as the battle raged on.


    He had no idea how much tiger wolf medicine Chen Mobai had taken beforehand, each time he managed to deplete Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power to near exhaustion, but it always suddenly returned to its peak.


    After three consecutive times, Xuan Shu cursed in his heart and also took out a golden-red elixir from his storage bag and swallowed it.


    He refused to believe in this madness!


    After taking the powerful elixir that restored spiritual power, Xuan Shu¡¯s face turned ferocious as he once again activated the Rank-4 Heavenly Wind Finger, insisting on his magic duel strategy, determined to exhaust Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power.


    After two more attempts, Xuan Shu, who felt that his Dantian Qi Sea had emptied by half once again, suddenly realized something.


    Seeing Chen Mobai in front of him still in peak condition with spiritual power, but only slipping slightly in the state of his divine sense, and controlling the Extreme Sun Slash with less accuracy and reaction than before, he knew his strategy might have been wrong.


    Facing the faint white light slashing hurriedly toward him once more, Xuan Shu could no longer restrain himself and spat out the Golden Mirage Pearl ¨C a Rank-4 magical weapon he had reserved for the Purple Electric Sword!


    Chen Mobai had long been familiar with this magical artifact from the Fanhai Sect, but he still couldn¡¯t resist unleashing the Extreme Sun Slash upon it.


    Accompanied by a burst of blinding bright radiance, the Extreme Sun Slash was unable to cut through this Rank-4 magical artifact.


    Following this, Chen Mobai felt terrible invisible forces of confinement pressing in on him from all directions, centering on him and continuously squeezing in.


    After another attempt at breaking through with regular methods proved fruitless, he couldn¡¯t help but reach into the void with his hand and grasp.


    In the midst of the crackling thunder!


    The Purple Electric Sword fell from the domain, landing in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, and then this fourth-grade superior quality sword artifact, already in perfect sync with his will, suddenly flashed with a bright purple electric light.


    With a boom, Chen Mobai, sword in hand, had already broken through the fierce wind confinement of the Golden Mirage Pearl!


    After deploying fourth-grade magical weapons, the two of them were no longer holding back!


    Fully confident in their own magical artifacts, they both used escape skills and charged directly at each other!


    ¡°Turn the Sky into a Furious Ruthless!¡±


    Xuan Shu, having bitterly cultivated for many years to unleash the true power of the Golden Mirage Pearl, became like a swirling golden violence, holding the treasure bead in his palm, bombarding furiously towards Chen Mobai!


    Chen Mobai, who had not yet tested the upper limits of the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s power, was fearless as well, raising his sword for a slash!


    The wide blade collided with the Golden Mirage Pearl!


    In a moment, Mount Chang Zhuan was left with nothing but purple and gold!


    Xuan Qi¡¯s eyes widened, wanting to witness the outcome of the clash, but under the impact of the two raging fourth-order forces, he could only retreat continuously to avoid being drawn in too.


    And at that moment, he suddenly noticed that the guy wearing the wooden mask hadn¡¯t moved back a single step, instead standing still as the fourth-order aftershocks engulfed him.


    [Do sword cultivators not care for their own lives? Or do they want to save Chen Guixian?]


    In Xuan Qi¡¯s eyes, Zhou Shengqing was Mo Douguang, the number one sword cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, and seeing this, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    At that moment, the clash between the Purple Electric Sword and the Golden Mirage Pearl also erupted into the most terrifying climax.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai felt his arm¡¯s skin starting to crack open inch by inch, blood oozing, because his body could not withstand the power of the Purple Electric Sword at that time.


    [Master, let me go quickly¡­]


    Chen Mobai obediently released his grip, and Xuan Shu, seeing this, smiled at the corner of his mouth and pressed forward with the Golden Mirage Pearl once again.


    He had won!


    However, at that moment, he saw a gigantic translucent skeletal hand emerge behind Chen Mobai.


    With the five-color light swirling, this large hand materialized flesh and blood and directly grabbed the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword!

 Chapter 1228 - Chapter 1228 Chapter 675 Beheading Two People in a Row

    Chapter 1228: Chapter 675: Beheading Two People in a Row Chapter 1228: Chapter 675: Beheading Two People in a Row After the empowerment of Chen Mobai¡¯s external incarnation, he had already reached the Heavenly Star Realm.


    Although he lacked the corresponding Essence Qi and Evil Qi, the arm that he had condensed through the Five Elements Sword Sha possessed some characteristics of a Rank-4.


    Now that he grasped the Purple Electric Sword, it signified that Chen Mobai was truly going all out.


    Once the Purple Electric Sword was controlled by the giant transparent arm shimmering with multicolored radiance, there was no longer any need to worry about the power it unleashed being too strong and harming Chen Mobai¡¯s physical body.


    Amid the roaring thunder, a blindingly bright purple lightning violently struck down from the sky, swallowed by the plain and unadorned majestic sword artifact.


    Thereupon, as the Purple Electric Sword was gradually overwhelmed by the Golden Mirage Pearl, it suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light, radiating in all directions like a lightning bolt exploding in the sky, instantly piercing through all the surrounding darkness.


    Beneath Xuan Shu¡¯s incredulous gaze, his right hand holding the Golden Mirage Pearl crackled and then burst open, revealing five pale white phalanges.


    He wanted to release the Golden Mirage Pearl, but the Magic Artifact had now tightly bound him.


    Shortly after, just in a blink of an eye, Xuan Shu¡¯s palm bones completely shattered, and finally, amid a cloud of blurry blood mist, his entire right hand fragmented and flew in all directions.


    Xuan Shu¡¯s physical body couldn¡¯t withstand such terrifying Rank-4 power.


    As the Golden Mirage Pearl sensed the increasingly terrifying force coming from the Purple Electric Sword, to avoid being cleaved open, it instinctively burst forth with even greater power to resist.


    Then, Xuan Shu ended up having the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian Qi Sea almost drained and his right hand explosively shattered.


    However, now without his right hand, Xuan Shu finally escaped the binding of the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    His eyes split with rage, he took out an Elixir from his Storage Bag and stuffed it into his mouth, then pushed his Wind Escape technique to its limits and flew away toward Mount Chang Zhuan without looking back!


    With a hiss!


    A green Light Needle, coming from nowhere, pierced through Xuan Shu¡¯s protective wind wall and jabbed into his Dantian Qi Sea.


    Just as it was about to cripple Xuan Shu, a Jade Pendant he wore suddenly lit up with a bright Spiritual Light.


    With a bang, the Jade Pendant shattered, but the green Light Needle was halted and subsequently dissolved into nothing.


    ¡°Eh, a Substitute Death Talisman? You do have quite some good items!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice rang out as his figure appeared in mid-air in front of Xuan Shu, and at the moment he appeared, all the nature¡¯s spiritual energy lingering in the void surged towards him.


    ¡°Nascent Soul Formation! Impossible!¡±


    Seeing such a characteristic scene, Xuan Shu couldn¡¯t help but blurt out in disbelief.


    He couldn¡¯t believe that in the remote countryside of the Eastern Wilderness, someone could actually condense a Nascent Soul!


    ¡°When I first formed my Nascent Soul, I wasn¡¯t familiar with controlling its power, so you escaped; I didn¡¯t expect you to come here to seek death a second time!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke with a smile, slowly removing the wooden mask from his face, and following their prior arrangement, fashioned himself to appear as a normal Nascent Soul cultivator, rather than an Embodiment Nascent Soul!


    ¡°You actually succeeded in forming your Nascent Soul!¡±


    Seeing it was Zhou Shengqing, even though Xuan Shu was reluctant to believe, he could only admit it with a bitter expression.


    Not far away, Xuan Qi, who had been observing the battle results between Chen Mobai and Xuan Shu, couldn¡¯t help but gasp upon seeing Zhou Shengqing with the surrounding spiritual energy swirling around him in mid-air.


    He recalled his own earlier words and finally understood how precarious his own life had been, having circled around Ghost Gate Pass several times already.


    Without any hesitation, Xuan Qi discreetly moved, hiding himself in a shadow, and took out a silver Talisman from his Storage Bag, immediately making his escape!


    ¡°Brother Xuan Qi, I¡¯ll hold him off for you; once you return to Bright Mirror Mountain, you must tell Master this news and avenge me!¡±


    But just at this moment, Xuan Shu in the sky suddenly shouted toward Xuan Qi, who was activating the Escape Sky Talisman, then took out a deep blue ancient Talisman.


    ¡°The damned Xuan Shu, may you never rest in peace¡­¡±


    However, at that moment, Xuan Qi outright cursed.


    Unsurprisingly, Zhou Shengqing in mid-air immediately directed his gaze over there.


    Being locked on by Nascent Soul Divine Sense, Xuan Qi bit the tip of his tongue and using his Essence Blood, triggered his most powerful Rank-4 Jinguang (Golden Light) God Talisman, covering both Zhou Shengqing and Xuan Shu in the sky.


    At the same time, the silver radiance flickered as the Escape Sky Talisman was activated, ready to transport him away.


    But suddenly, Xuan Qi felt a warm flow on his back and a figure accompanied by flickering flames materialized behind him.


    Then, a faint white radiance sneaked in just before the Escape Sky Talisman¡¯s barrier fully closed.


    Blood light flashed!


    The over four hundred-year-old Xuan Qi displayed his experience in Magic Duel, utilizing a bitterly cultivated protective technique, tearing off his left hand, transforming it into a blood light shield, and managed to block the Extreme Sun Slash!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, witnessing this, couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly!


    Indeed, worth the stature of a Tianhe Realm cultivator, their life-preserving techniques were endless.


    Taking advantage of this moment, the Escape Sky Talisman was fully activated.


    The silver barrier enveloped Xuan Qi completely; he clutched his severed arm with an agonized expression and a fierce look toward Chen Mobai, and just as he contemplated uttering some harsh words, a heaven-piercing green divine light suddenly descended from above, striking heavily upon the Escape Sky Talisman barrier.


    The Sacred Tree Divine Light pushed forth by Zhou Shengqing using Longevity True Qi directly tore open a crack in the barrier.

 Chapter 1229 - Chapter 1229 Chapter 675 Beheading Two People in a Row_2

    Chapter 1229: Chapter 675: Beheading Two People in a Row_2 Chapter 1229: Chapter 675: Beheading Two People in a Row_2 Just as Chen Mobai was about to activate the Blade of the Void, he no longer wasted time, lest Xuan Qi had lifesaving means and too much could happen in the long night.


    He directly activated the All Laws Persona to thrust the Purple Electric Sword into the gap!


    Despite suffering severe damage to his vital energy, Xuan Qi¡¯s will to survive was still strong. He spat out a Gold Seal, which was clearly his Lifespan Artifact.


    Though its grade was inferior to the Purple Electric Sword, under his desperate efforts, it managed to block the incoming blade.


    But the Gold Seal cracked with fine lines, yet if it could hold for one second, Xuan Qi would be able to wait for the Escape Sky Talisman to carry him away.


    However, at this moment, a faint white glow suddenly emerged at the bottom of his eyes, followed by feeling a chill on his neck.


    His entire head had already flown up.


    The Bloodlight Shield he had used despite being severely wounded had been split open by the Extreme Sun Slash at some unknown time.


    Unaware of this, Xuan Qi was abruptly decapitated.


    After killing Xuan Qi, Chen Mobai once again used the Ground Firelight to soar into the mid-air.


    Xuan Shu took advantage of the moment Zhou Shengqing¡¯s attention was diverted to activate an Escape Sky Talisman!


    Soon after, the Rank-4 Golden Light Talisman deployed by Xuan Qi helped him buy even more time.


    Although Zhou Shengqing was already at the Nascent Soul level of strength, a Rank-4 talisman could still injure him, so he had to use the Spirit Leaves Technique to defend.


    Then he saw Xuan Qi trying to flee using the Escape Sky Talisman and immediately smashed a Sacred Tree Divine Light from afar.


    But at this moment, Xuan Shu¡¯s Rank-4 Overturning River Talisman also erupted towards him.


    Unexpectedly for Zhou Shengqing, this talisman in combination with the Rank-4 Golden Light Talisman could form a synergy. Under the principle of gold generating water, dark blue tidal waves swept through the mid-air, enveloped by a heaven-full of golden light blades, shattering his defensive Lingye.


    Seeing this, Zhou Shengqing immediately gathered nine Spirit Leaves again!


    For a Golden Core Cultivator, what could be considered a trump Rank-4 technique was just a routine method for Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    As the nine Spirit Leaves emerged, even though the blade storm continued to bombard Zhou Shengqing, it could no longer shake him in the slightest.


    However, at this point, Xuan Shu¡¯s Escape Sky Talisman had fully formed.


    Silver light transformed into a cover, enveloping his pale-faced entirety.


    Seeing this, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s brows furrowed, and a bright green Light Needle began to condense in the palm of his right hand again.


    This was the Heavenly Wood God Needle, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s most powerful attack at the moment.


    [Hopefully, this guy only has one Substitute Death Talisman!]


    However, just as Zhou Shengqing was about to make his move, he suddenly saw flames appearing in front of Xuan Shu, blocking his view.


    Seeing Chen Mobai appearing before him, Xuan Shu¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    ¡°The next time I come to kill you, it will be me at Nascent Soul Formation!¡±


    Although Xuan Shu was pale, his spiritual power was exhausted, and his energy was weaker than it had ever been before, his mouth still refused to concede as the Escape Sky Talisman began to teleport him away.


    Chen Mobai listened, and just gave a faint smile.


    Then, a sharp and flat blade extended from his fingertip, lightly tracing across the silver light cover enshrouding Xuan Shu¡¯s entire body.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless, this Escape Sky Talisman¡­¡±


    Xuan Shu had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he saw the Blade of the Void merging with the silver light cover with no resistance, slicing in effortlessly, the light cover even being absorbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertip blade, suddenly becoming thin and transparent!


    Instinctively trying to take out a defensive talisman from his Storage Bag, but already having completely drained his spiritual power, Xuan Shu¡¯s movements were only halfway when the Blade of the Void had already passed over his neck.


    His head fell, and fresh blood drenched the inner walls of the light cover of the Escape Sky Talisman.


    Once the Escape Sky Talisman activated, it wouldn¡¯t stop operating. After Chen Mobai took Xuan Shu¡¯s Storage Bag using the Blade of the Void, he saw Xuan Shu¡¯s body, now a corpse, disappear from his sight.


    ¡­


    Bright Mirror Mountain!


    Golden Wind Ancestor, who was in seclusion and cultivating within his stone cottage, suddenly furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.


    He walked to the entrance of the stone cottage, only to see Xuan Guang, the Sect Leader of the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, kneeling in fright on the cliff opposite.


    Being chosen as Sect Leader, his temperament was naturally of the highest order. Such loss of composure made the Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s heart sink.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Has the army of Kong Sang Valley attacked?¡±


    In the heart of the Golden Wind Ancestor, this was the only matter that could cause Xuan Guang to show such an expression.


    ¡°Master, the bodies of junior apprentice-brother Xuan Shu and senior apprentice-brother Xuan Qi have returned!¡±


    Xuan Guang spoke with a somber tone and a tragic look on his face, uttering words that made the Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s eyes widen in disbelief.


    Inside the grand hall of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, the Golden Wind Ancestor who had flown over looked at the two bodies lying side by side, their heads severed, and he couldn¡¯t help but tremble all over, clenching his fists tightly.


    Xuan Qi was one thing, but Xuan Shu was his disciple with the highest potential for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    In the eyes of the Golden Wind Ancestor, although this disciple was somewhat overbearing and proud, his talent and resilience were not inferior to Ku Zhu¡¯s. He was the only one capable of leading the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace to continue the greatness of the sect after a hundred years.


    However, now his head had been cut off, lying silently on the blue bricks of the grand hall¡¯s floor.


    ¡°Who?!¡±


    The Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s voice rose, suppressed with shaking anger. The four Golden Core Cultivators inside the hall all looked at each other, and in the end, Xuan Guang, as the Sect Leader, stepped forward and shared his opinion.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, we have examined the bodies of our senior and junior apprentice-brothers and found that senior apprentice-brother Xuan Qi¡¯s head wound is charred black, obviously caused by fire spiritual power, while junior apprentice-brother Xuan Shu¡¯s head has a smooth and even cut. Although there are no traces of spiritual power residue, it can be seen that it was likely severed by sword light.¡±


    ¡°They both appear to have died after a ferociously brutal battle, and the only ones who could force them into such a state must be Nascent Soul Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°There are no cultivators of such realms in the Eastern Wilderness. Although senior and junior apprentice-brothers went to kill Chen Guixian of the Divine Wood Sect, I suspect that perhaps Nascent Soul Cultivators from the other two sects of the East Barbarians had acted.¡±


    Upon hearing Xuan Guang¡¯s words, the expression of the Golden Wind Ancestor suddenly became calm.


    He had also inspected the bodies of the two, and the overpowering fire spiritual power on Xuan Qi¡¯s wound led him to think of no one else but the Baiwu Ancestor of Sun Bathing Sea.


    And the sword cultivator who could kill Xuan Shu, a cultivator with perfected Golden Core, forcing him to use an Escape Sky Talisman and still not manage to flee, was most likely Ku Zhu, their sworn enemy!


    To be able to cut through the void ¨C had that guy already mastered swordplay to such a fine level?!


    How infuriating!


    Why do the sects of our enemies produce such heaven-defying successors, while I must endure the pain of the elder burying the young!


    Rage blazed within the Golden Wind Ancestor¡¯s heart, but even at over eight hundred years old, he didn¡¯t lose his reason in this situation.


    He was pondering whether Sun Bathing Sea was truly in league with Kong Sang Valley, even to the extent of killing his disciples to seal their alliance. Then, could his thousand-year-old Xuan Xiao Dao Palace even survive?


    ¡°What about Fang Xuanyang? Weren¡¯t the three of them together?¡±


    At this time, the Golden Wind Ancestor suddenly remembered the Golden Core Elder his sect had sent to the Eastern Wilderness; Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi had reported to him once when they arrived there.


    If he wasn¡¯t dead, perhaps the truth behind the deaths of Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi could be discovered!


    ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Xuan Yang¡¯s soul tablet has not shattered, and I have already dispatched disciples through the Ruins to the Eastern Wilderness in hopes of finding him¡­¡±


    Xuan Guang had already considered this possibility, but since there was no large-scale Transmission Array between the East Barbarians and Eastern Wilderness, the transmission of messages had to be done manually through the Ruins.


    ¡°We must find him!¡±


    The Golden Wind Ancestor commanded, then his gaze fell on the remaining Golden Core Cultivators in the hall.


    The four Xuan Guangs immediately bowed their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.


    They feared that the Golden Wind Ancestor would send one of them to the Eastern Wilderness to find Fang Xuanyang!


    However, in the end, under the threat of the formidable enemy and considering the need to activate the sect¡¯s Rank-4 Large Formation, the Golden Wind Ancestor did not dispatch any of the remaining four Golden Core Cultivators.


    ¡­


    Above Rock Country, Fang Xuanyang gritted his teeth at Luo Yixuan, who was hot on his heels.


    He had tried stopping to face Luo Yixuan in combat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But instead, Luo Yixuan turned and fled.


    With a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon in hand, Fang Xuanyang feared ambush and did not dare pursue.


    Yet just as he was about to depart, Luo Yixuan stopped running and clung tightly behind him.


    At first, Fang Xuanyang was filled with rage, but soon, his extensive experience allowed him to calm down and come up with a brilliant solution.


    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll fly straight to Mount Chang Zhuan. My senior and junior apprentice-brothers are there. If she dares to follow, even with a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon, it would mean certain death for her!¡±

 Chapter 1230 - Chapter 1230 Chapter 676 The Destruction of the Nanxuan Sect

    Chapter 1230: Chapter 676 The Destruction of the Nanxuan Sect Chapter 1230: Chapter 676 The Destruction of the Nanxuan Sect ¡°Brother, I haven¡¯t yet congratulated you on your ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,''¡± Chen Mobai said as he handed over the Treasure Bead to Zhou Shengqing in the sky above Mount Chang Zhuan. The latter naturally hesitated to accept it.


    ¡°Junior brother, this is also a spoils of war from your battle¡­¡±


    ¡°Brother, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, you are the one who can truly unleash the might of this object. After slaying those two, a great battle between our sect and the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace has become inevitable. When the time comes, only you will be able to confront the Golden Wind Ancestor, so please do not decline.¡±


    Having said this, Zhou Shengqing, who was already quite tempted, immediately felt it would be disrespectful to refuse any longer.


    ¡°Thank you, Junior Brother.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, with a delighted expression, took over the Golden Mirage Pearl and, lovingly investing his Spiritual Power into it, began to attempt refining it.


    The Magic Artifacts of the Tianhe Realm held no regard for things like Spirit Stones.


    Such objects had never been scarce to their previous owners. The Golden Mirage Pearl was of fourth rank mid-grade, possessing only a faint spirituality. Even though it had just been struck by the Purple Electric Sword, it stubbornly sealed itself off, resisting Zhou Shengqing¡¯s efforts at refining.


    ¡°This Magical Weapon has been refined by Xuan Shu for over a century. Without the correct Refine Treasure mantra, I can only bring its most basic functions into play in the short term.¡±


    After trying for a while, Zhou Shengqing was both pleased and worried as he gazed at the Treasure Bead in his hand.


    As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, with continued effort, he would one day be able to completely eradicate the traces of Xuan Shu¡¯s Divine Consciousness imprint and replace them with his own.


    But to fully unleash the weapon¡¯s power, he would still need the corresponding mantras and heart methods for refining and mastering the treasure.


    Speaking of which, Chen Mobai thought of the Precious Golden Light Spell he himself had been practicing.


    Although he also had always been cultivating this Spell, he mostly did so to pass the fragmented time in daily practice, and thus had only reached the realm of Sealing Treasure.


    However, due to his perseverance over the years, he was not far from attaining the realm of Precious Treasure.


    Moreover, now that Chen Mobai was at the Golden Core Fourth Layer, the speed of his refining of the Golden Crystal was faster. By his estimation, with a couple more years of hard work, he could forge the eighty-one rays of Precious Golden Light, upgrading this secret technique to the realm of ¡°Precious Treasure.¡±


    Chen Mobai had continued to cultivate this secret technique precisely because he saw its potential when cultivated to the utmost limit¨Cthe ¡°Refine Treasure¡± realm.


    It could enable him to become a fourth-grade Treasure Appraiser of the Immortal Gate out of nothing.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if there are any related methods in Xuan Shu¡¯s Storage Bag. Maybe with a bit of luck, we can find them.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Precious Golden Light had no effect on the Golden Mirage Pearl, but he quickly thought of another possibility and handed over the Storage Bag to Zhou Shengqing.


    Xuan Shu, a cultivator with Perfect Core Formation, had his Divine Consciousness Imprint in it, which Zhou Shengqing could easily break through.


    ¡°Well, one can hope¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing nodded as he took over the Storage Bag. Just as he was about to open it, his expression suddenly froze, and then he turned to look towards the empty northern sky.


    ¡°Brother, what¡¯s happened?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was not as sharp as that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and he did not notice Fang Xuanyang or Luo Yixuan, who were flying towards them from afar.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, the last fish that slipped through the net is coming to deliver itself to death!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing laughed heartily as he shared his discovery with Chen Mobai, who, upon hearing it, couldn¡¯t help but laugh as well.


    The two of them leisurely descended to the ground.


    After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fang Xuanyang, who was excited, finally arrived here. Looking at the half-destroyed Mount Chang Zhuan, he marveled at the power of Xuan Shu¡¯s Heavenly Wind Finger, feeling the blend of Wind Spiritual Power that had yet to dissipate.


    Of course, Fang Xuanyang also sensed another powerful Fire Spiritual Power, thinking that Chen Guixian was indeed as remarkable as his reputation, to be able to fight Xuan Shu to such an extent.


    It was just a pity that he was born into the wrong sect. Even if he were a genius, once they from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace regarded him as an enemy, he could only become a corpse.


    Fang Xuanyang landed serenely above the ruins of Mount Chang Zhuan, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, turned around to look at the female cultivator in palace attire who had been following him.


    At this moment, Luo Yixuan, seeing him halt, also realized something was amiss. As she got closer, she too sensed the powerful Spiritual Power still present in the air, one strand of which was very familiar to her.


    Just as she was cautiously preparing to retreat, Fang Xuanyang suddenly let out a hearty laugh, took out his Lifespan Artifact, and turned to attack Luo Yixuan, preventing her from leaving.


    ¡°You¡¯re doomed now, to dare chase me here. I don¡¯t mind telling you, this is where your master will be buried. My senior brothers Xuan Qi and Xuan Shu are already here. This way, after you and your master die, you can share the same grave, haha!¡±


    Thinking he had the upper hand, Fang Xuanyang no longer held back, rushing towards Luo Yixuan.


    But suddenly, he noticed that although Luo Yixuan initially wore a panicked expression, her eyes quickly brightened as if she saw something, and she smiled charmingly.

    ¡°What are you smiling at, facing death like this?¡±


    Fang Xuanyang thought Luo Yixuan was making a last-ditch effort to fight for her life, and to avoid being taken away by a fourth-grade Magical Weapon, he took out a life-saving Talisman from his Storage Bag.


    ¡°He¡¯s just laughing at you for falling into the trap!¡±


    A clear voice suddenly rose from the Fang Market below.


    Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s eyes widened in shock; he turned to look and then saw Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing flying out from one of the ruined buildings.

 Chapter 1231 - Chapter 1231 Chapter 676 The Fall of the Nanxuan Sect_2

    Chapter 1231: Chapter 676: The Fall of the Nanxuan Sect_2 Chapter 1231: Chapter 676: The Fall of the Nanxuan Sect_2 ¡°`


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible, how are you still alive?¡±


    Amid his shock, Fang Xuanyang quickly realized there was a problem¨Cwhy hadn¡¯t Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi come out yet?


    Immediately, an unbelievable thought flashed across his mind.


    The targets who were supposed to be killed were still alive, and there were signs of a fight at the scene. Could it be¡­ they were counter-killed!?


    ¡°Junior brother, should I kill, or will you?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing asked with a smile, turning to Chen Mobai who was beside him.


    ¡°I already feel a bit bad for snatching two kills from you, brother; I dare not snatch again!¡±


    Chen Mobai said somewhat sheepishly.


    Hearing this, Zhou Shengqing smiled and flew over to where Fang Xuanyang was.


    However, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm have an exceptionally strong will to survive.


    Fang Xuanyang felt he was no match for Xuan Shu, but if it came to a desperate fight, perhaps he could truly escape from the siege of the three Golden Core cultivators.


    But just as he was about to fight for his life with his Lifespan Artifact, Zhou Shengqing raised his hand, and the oppressive might of a Nascent Soul cultivator turned Fang Xuanyang¡¯s face ashen.


    ¡°This can¡¯t be possible!¡±


    Fang Xuanyang¡¯s face was filled with shock; at the same time, a green light needle burst from the palm of Zhou Shengqing.


    In a mindset of despair, Fang Xuanyang¡¯s instinct to survive still prompted him to bring out all his trump cards, struggling to flee!


    Unfortunately, the gap in their realms couldn¡¯t be compensated for by fighting spirit.


    Fang Xuanyang¡¯s efforts were like fireworks in the night¨Cthough briefly splendid, they ultimately faded into the dense and boundless darkness.


    The unstoppable green light needle pierced through his forehead, blowing his entire head to pieces.


    With that, all three of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s Golden Core cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland had perished.


    ¡°Greetings to the elder ancestor, greetings to the master!¡±


    Luo Yixuan came over with a smile on her face, paying her respects to Zhou Shengqing and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°To avoid startling the snake by hitting the grass, the Nanxuan Sect has been spared until now, but it¡¯s time. Xuan, by my order, gather all the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect in Rock Country and level Treasure Color Mountain!¡±


    To eliminate the weeds, one must pull out their roots¨Chaving targeted three Golden Core cultivators from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Chen Mobai and the others naturally wouldn¡¯t leave the Nanxuan Sect alone.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    As soon as Luo Yixuan heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.


    After demonstrating her Golden Core strength in front of the Hua family, it meant that it was time to announce her presence to the world.


    It was perfect timing to use the destruction of the Nanxuan Sect to let her reputation resound throughout the Eastern Wasteland, letting everyone know that she was the most outstanding successor of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    ¡°A full-scale battle with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace will start soon. Junior Brother Chen, you can now bring together the elite of the Sect¡¯s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to Northern Abyss City.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing took the initiative to speak, and Chen Mobai had no objections.


    He was even already considering moving the entire Divine Wood Sect to Northern Abyss City, ready to commit the whole sect¡¯s power to fight against the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace that was about to make its move!


    After cleaning up the battlefield, the three of them together headed for Northern Abyss City.


    E Yun, who received the news, immediately came to pay his respects.


    But Zhou Shengqing was still keeping his identity hidden; the longer he could keep the news of his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± a secret, the better.


    At the highest point of Northern Abyss City, right where the upgraded Rank-4 Cave Dwelling was located,


    Chen Mobai was giving orders to E Yun.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, I will relay the orders to all the cultivators of our Sect in Rock Country at once!¡±


    After receiving the command, E Yun promptly used the Heavenly Communication Device to call people; this communication Magic Artifact was fast and convenient, so it had been deployed by the Divine Wood Sect in various countries.


    One after another, Heavenly Communication Devices were buried along the river routes within the Spiritual Pivots of the Spirit Veins.


    And the entirety of Northern Abyss City had long since been comprehensively covered.


    It was also for this reason that Loose Cultivators crowned this place with the name of Immortal City!


    ¡°`


    Upon the command, the thirteen Foundation Establishment Practitioners within Northern Abyss City all gathered. They directly followed Luo Yixuan, who had revealed Golden Core Realm strength, leading a thousand Qi Practitioners, to attack Treasure Color Mountain.


    Three days later, E Yun assembled another nine Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had returned from various river segments and eight hundred additional Qi Practitioners. They rode a Flying Boat rushing to Treasure Color Mountain to support Luo Yixuan.


    Without Fang Xuanyang¡¯s presence, although Treasure Color Mountain was protected by a Third Rank Superior Grade Large Formation, it could only hold out for half a month under the relentless attack of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army before it collapsed with a thunderous crash!


    After the fall of Treasure Color Mountain, some of the remnants of Nanxuan Sect escaped through the Teleportation Array, but unable to leave the Eastern Wilderness, most were discovered one by one by Divine Wood Sect Monks.


    Some were lucky enough not to be found by Divine Wood Sect, but they became the covetous targets of the entire Eastern Wasteland Rogue Cultivators.


    And in this battle, what shocked the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators most was Luo Yixuan displaying the power of the Golden Core Realm.


    For a while, the name of the Southern Mountain Fairy echoed throughout the heavens.


    However, in the eyes of other powers in the Eastern Wilderness, the signal this event sent out was extremely shocking to them.


    Everyone knew that Nanxuan Sect was under the influence of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, yet Divine Wood Sect still took ruthless and decisive action to exterminate it.


    This spelled an imminent great war between the two major powers.


    In view of this, Back to Sky Valley, Five Elements Sect, and Snow-blowing Palace naturally were pleased to see it happen.


    After all, with Luo Yixuan displaying Golden Core strength, Divine Wood Sect had undoubtedly become the supreme ruler of the Eastern Wilderness, and before they achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, they could only rely on the protection of a Rank-4 Large Formation.


    If the Golden Wind Ancestor from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace led a large army over and both sides were injured, it would be the best news for them.


    There were many cultivators who harbored this thought.


    After all, since Sect Master Chen took the upper position, the aggressiveness displayed by Divine Wood Sect was truly terrifying.


    Based on his ruthless nature, it was feared that their next targets would be the three families of Back to Sky Valley, completely unifying the Eastern Wilderness.


    And after Luo Yixuan¡¯s Core Formation, even if their three families allied, at best they might just barely maintain a balance with Divine Wood Sect.


    So, they all hoped that an external powerful dragon could topple Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡­


    ¡°Damn petty Eastern Wilderness sects, pushing us too far!¡±


    At Dongyi Bright Mirror Mountain, Xuan Guang, after reading the information brought back by his disciples sent to the Eastern Wilderness, couldn¡¯t help but burst into a sudden rage.


    In a short while, the Golden Wind Ancestor and three other Golden Core cultivators also arrived, and after reading the news about Nanxuan Sect¡¯s annihilation by Divine Wood Sect, all had cold expressions, filled with righteous indignation.


    ¡°We cannot let this vengeance go unavenged, or what prestige will our Dao Palace have in Dongyi!¡±


    ¡°The Soul Tablet of Brother Xuan Yang has also been shattered, it must have been that Chen Guixian from Divine Wood Sect who did it!¡±


    ¡°Master, please descend upon the Eastern Wilderness with your divine presence; let us follow you to exterminate Divine Wood Sect and avenge our previous disgrace!¡±


    In the great hall, all the Golden Core cultivators were filled with anger.


    Under the great pressure of Kong Sang Valley in the past year, their already taut strings finally broke, facing the provocation of Divine Wood Sect¨Ca small rural sect¨Cthey could not hold back, wanting to blood-wash the Eastern Wilderness as an outlet.


    But after shouting for a while, they realized that the Golden Wind Ancestor still wore a cold face and remained silent. They gradually ceased and looked at each other uncertainly.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    Finally, it was Xuan Guang, the Sect Leader, who stepped forward and saluted the Golden Wind Ancestor.


    ¡°Have you all considered why such a mere Divine Wood Sect has the audacity to provoke us, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace?¡±


    The words of the Golden Wind Ancestor made all four Golden Core practitioners pause, Xuan Guang¡¯s face showed a dawning realization; he had grasped the crux of the matter.


    Xuan Guang: ¡°Could it be, someone is backing them from behind!¡±


    Golden Wind: ¡°Hmph, I was still doubtful whether Bai Wu had teamed up with Ku Zhu. Now it seems clear that Divine Wood Sect is established by a disciple of Hun Yuan old man, and it was assuredly him directing the move, to make me lose my rationality and lead not only you but also the elite disciples of the Dao Palace out of Bright Mirror Mountain to the Eastern Wilderness.¡±

    Hearing this, all the Golden Core cultivators in the great hall suddenly understood.


    ¡°If we rashly leave the Bright Mirror Mountain Formation, we might be surrounded by the armies of Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea even before we enter the Ruins.¡±


    ¡°Even more cunningly, Bai Wu and Ku Zhu could wait until after we have exhausted our strength blood-washing the Eastern Wilderness, and then lead a force of cultivators to annihilate our weakened forces.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, these two wretches are just waiting for me to leave the formation, wanting my old life¡­¡±


    After expressing his conjecture, the Golden Wind Ancestor angrily hammered the armrest of his chair.

 Chapter 1232 - Chapter 1232 Chapter 677 Reaping the Rewards from the Bag

    Chapter 1232: Chapter 677: Reaping the Rewards from the Bag Chapter 1232: Chapter 677: Reaping the Rewards from the Bag Northern Abyss City.


    Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing gathered together.


    The storage bags of the three Golden Core Cultivators from Xuan Xiao Dao Palace were laid out in front of them.


    With a swipe of his hand, Zhou Shengqing had already erased the remaining divine sense traces of the three people, and as he hesitated about which one to open first, Chen Mobai immediately stated that he could take care of this rough work.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble my junior brother,¡± Zhou Shengqing said, and even as his words fell, Chen Mobai had already turned over Fang Xuanyang¡¯s storage bag.


    Amidst the rustling noise, a huge pile of spirit stones spilled out, quickly forming a mound like a small mountain.


    The two glanced at the pile; there were spirit stones of all grades, and a rough estimate placed their value at about one million. Perhaps because Fang Xuanyang was in charge of the Nanxuan sect, this situation had arisen.


    Generally speaking, a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s storage bag rarely contained low-grade spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing took one look at the spirit stones and lost interest, their attention turning to other items.


    Soon, they discovered more than a dozen bottles of sealed elixirs, five of which bore markings that were very familiar to Chen Mobai.


    Upon closer thought, he immediately remembered.


    Weren¡¯t they the exact packaging of the Foundation Building Pills that he had auctioned at the South Xuan sect under the identity of ¡°Chen Xinglan¡±?


    Five bottles, five pills each¨Cprecisely the number of Foundation Building Pills that would be auctioned at the Treasure Color Market each time.


    It was also thanks to these that the Nanxuan sect was able to maintain its position in Rock Country despite the oppression of Divine Wood Sect, much like Northern Abyss City, collecting spirit stones from loose cultivators and major families through real estate ventures.


    Chen Mobai removed the stopper from a bottle and checked the quality of the Foundation Building Pills; he had to admit they were much better than those refined by Zeng Woyou.


    However, this was understandable, after all, Golden Wind Ancestor was known as the number one alchemist in the East Barbarians, and aside from him, Xuan Xiao Dao Palace had two other alchemists who were skilled in refining and no less formidable than Yan Shaoyin.


    The Foundation Building Pill was the alchemy recipe they were most practiced in refining; it was said that at the very least nine pills could be produced in a single furnace, and sometimes, when the alchemist was in good form, a perfect set of ten could be achieved.


    By relying on this alchemy skill, the commerce associations established by Xuan Xiao Dao Palace could do business unimpeded across the six regions of the Eastern Region and even had branches in the East Land.


    ¡°Uncle Lu reported that the Hua family proactively declared the discovery of a Lan Liu Stone mine; why not reward them with a Foundation Building Pill,¡± Zhou Shengqing suggested, and naturally, Chen Mobai had no objections.


    With the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau looming, more resources and veins would surely be discovered. There were too many for Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators alone to cover, and most would need cooperation from the local major families for mutual benefit and development.


    Awarding the Hua family a Foundation Building Pill would set a good example.


    In the future, within the territories under Divine Wood Sect¡¯s command, any major family that discovered a new vein would first think of surrendering it to Divine Wood Sect if they couldn¡¯t monopolize it.


    ¡°Sect conflict with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace is imminent; there¡¯s no need to hold onto these Foundation Building Pills. Choose suitable True Disciples and bestow them,¡± Zhou Shengqing added. Xuan Xiao Dao Palace had no shortage of elixirs, and so the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners was always the highest, rumored to be over two hundred.


    Fortunately, because Foundation Establishment was easy, the number of Golden Core Cultivators was actually the lowest among the three major sects of the East Barbarians; otherwise, Zhou Shengqing really wouldn¡¯t have the confidence to go to war with the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    ¡°Alright, when Xie Yuntian and the sect disciples arrive, I¡¯ll have them choose suitable ones.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing both felt that the battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace was inevitable, so all they thought about was how to enhance their sect¡¯s strength as much as possible in a short time.


    ¡°Bestow the heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue¡¯er first, raise her strength. Having one more Golden Core cultivator will also make our front-line arrangements much easier,¡± Chen Mobai suggested.


    Zhou Shengqing had no objections to Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal since Luo Xue¡¯er was also one of his branch¡¯s disciples.


    ¡°As junior brother arranges!¡±


    Having reached a consensus, Chen Mobai did not hesitate and immediately sent a message to his disciple Jiang Zongheng in Northern Abyss City, instructing him to make a trip to Sky Country to inform Luo Xue¡¯er.


    Under the pressure of war, the opening of the great river would have to be put on hold.


    Zhou Shengqing then assessed the other elixirs; they were all of high quality, each with its effects and useful for Golden Core Cultivators, some even more valuable than Foundation Building Pills.


    However, Chen Mobai preferred not to use any elixirs from the Tianhe Realm if he could avoid them; he had just recently completed the purification of his own spiritual power.


    The quotas for resolving Dan Poison were reserved for the Golden Crow and Earth Veins Elixirs, and to maintain the purity of his body and spiritual power, he really couldn¡¯t consume any more.

    ¡°These will go to Junior Brother Fu in the future.¡±


    Since Zhou Shengqing was at the Legal Body Nascent Soul stage and elixirs were useless to him, and Chen Mobai also declined them, they were left to Fu Zongjue.


    Fu Zongjue was a pure native, having cultivated all the way by relying on elixirs and basically had no chance of Nascent Soul Formation, so he was completely unconcerned about things like Dan Poison.


    Apart from that, there were some miscellaneous items inside Fang Xuanyang¡¯s storage bag that neither of the two Golden Core Cultivators took any interest in, setting them aside to deal with collectively after opening all three bags.


    The good stuff was saved for last, so the second one to be opened was Xuan Qi¡¯s storage bag.

 Chapter 1233 - Chapter 1233 677 Chapter Opening the Bag and Harvesting_2

    Chapter 1233: 677 Chapter Opening the Bag and Harvesting_2 Chapter 1233: 677 Chapter Opening the Bag and Harvesting_2 The old fellow erupted with so many things, just the superior quality spirit stones alone amounted to over three thousand, making Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes light up instantly.


    ¡°That, junior brother, this time when I achieved my Legal Body Nascent Soul, junior brother Fu contributed his life savings of spirit stones¡­ These¡­ maybe¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing hesitantly started speaking.


    ¡°Then give them all to Brother Fu.¡±


    Though Chen Mobai was very tempted by over three thousand crystal-clear, top-grade spirit stones, upon hearing Zhou Shengqing speak, he agreed without any hesitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s too many, maybe you should also take some¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t advance his cultivation level, so spirit stones and elixirs were useless to him, only magic artifacts and powerful spell talismans, etc., could enhance his combat capability.


    Thus, regarding things like spirit stones, he thought of giving them to Chen Mobai or Fu Zongjue and other Sect members in Core Formation, to boost their strength.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll take five hundred.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t decline either, especially since after the spirit stone mine in Wind Country had depleted, he no longer had a stable source of superior-quality spirit stones.


    With these five hundred, combined with what he had accumulated before, he could cultivate his Pure Yang Daoist Body to the realm of Nine Suns Perfection.


    Inside Xuan Qi¡¯s storage bag, besides spirit stones, there were also many books and processed medicinal materials.


    This person was one of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s two Rank-4 alchemists, and the books recorded his centuries of alchemy insights and experience notes, originally planned to be compiled into volumes during his later years, only he hadn¡¯t finished and died by Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Let the Transmission Department and Alchemy Department organize these, as there¡¯s also a Rank-4 alchemy technique legacy inside, hoping that in the future, the sect can nurture its own Rank-4 alchemist with this.¡±


    After Zhou Shengqing finished looking through, his eyes also showed excitement.


    After obtaining the Black Crow Elixir Scripture, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Rank-1 to Rank-3 alchemy techniques were already complete, but the Rank-4 level was still an empty gap.


    If they could digest Xuan Qi¡¯s centuries of notes, the Divine Wood Sect would have the foundation to become a major sect.


    Chen Mobai was also very pleased with this and decided in his heart to name it ¡°Mysterious Arcane Elixir Scripture¡± after the Sect cultivators compiled these notes into volumes.


    After organizing the medicinal materials to one side and miscellaneous items together, it finally came to the last storage bag.


    Even with Auspicious Blessing, Chen Mobai was a bit nervous at this moment, as the previous two bags could be said to have yielded great gains, making them have even greater expectations for the final highlight.


    After taking a deep breath, Chen Mobai dumped out everything in the storage bag.


    He found that besides clothes and other miscellany, the remaining items could be seen at a glance.


    More than a hundred spirit stones, a blue command token, three jade slips, quite a few Golden Halberds!


    Golden Halberd to be treated as miscellany.


    Naturally, the jade slips were for Zhou Shengqing to check and read first.


    Luckily, one of the jade slips recorded the mantra for refining and sacralizing the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    With this, Zhou Shengqing could in the shortest time complete the sacrificial refinement of this magic artifact, unleashing its true power.


    In this way, when facing Golden Wind Ancestor, there were more possibilities to strategize.


    The other two jade slips recorded two different Nascent Soul Cultivation Methods.


    Named ¡°Heavenly Wind Great Law¡± and ¡°Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation¡±!


    Among these, Heavenly Wind Great Law was likely what Xuan Shu himself practiced, specifically for cultivators with a Wind Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Could this be the legacy of the Turning Sea Gate?¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he voiced his own guess.


    After all, when he first clashed with Xuan Shu, the latter had revealed that he entered the ruins of the Turning Sea Gate and acquired the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    If the ruins left behind a magic artifact, then surely there was also a legacy.


    ¡°Very likely, these three jade slips are roughly of the same material.¡±


    While Zhou Shengqing spoke, he also started examining the blue command token¨Ca very common Rank-3 magic artifact. However, since Xuan Shu cherished it, it was clearly not an ordinary object.


    ¡°Could it be the token to open the Turning Sea Gate Ruins?¡±


    Chen Mobai proposed another guess, and Zhou Shengqing nodded. He then casually released his divine sense, scanning the small pile of remaining spirit stones.


    ¡°Ah?¡±


    Upon scanning, his expression turned to one of surprise.


    Zhou Shengqing waved his hand, and a gentle spiritual power lifted out three dull-colored spirit stones, seemingly already activated for use.


    After careful inspection, he reluctantly put down the three stones.


    ¡°Senior Brother, is there something wrong with these spirit stones?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had not discerned anything mysterious, couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°These are all supreme-grade spirit stones.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately widened his eyes.


    Each supreme-grade spirit stone, if utilized properly, could create a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein.


    How could Xuan Shu possess so many?


    However, he quickly realized that these supreme-grade spirit stones had all been used. He examined one and found that only about one or two percent of its spiritual energy remained.


    ¡°This one still has about half of its spiritual energy; this guy must have wanted to use the pure spiritual energy from the supreme-grade spirit stones to attempt ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯ formation.¡±


    With the experience of someone who had gone through it, Zhou Shengqing immediately thought of the reason. To achieve ¡°Nascent Soul¡± formation, he had once extinguished the Shake Mountain and took the Mother Earth Stone from there.


    ¡°The spiritual energy of these three supreme-grade spirit stones together probably doesn¡¯t even make up half of a complete one, so what¡¯s the use?¡±


    Chen Mobai was utterly perplexed by this, as this area of knowledge was his blind spot. After all, it was extremely difficult even to find a low-grade spirit stone in the Immortal Gate, let alone a supreme-grade one.


    ¡°The content and purity of spiritual energy in spirit stones increase with their grade. Supreme-grade spirit stones, formed over billions of years, contain what can be said to be the most refined and vast spiritual energy in the entire Tianhe Realm. Used at the moment of breakthrough, they can significantly enhance the effect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing explained that when cultivators refine nature¡¯s spiritual energy, they only need the attributes required by their own cultivation technique, and all non-matching attributes have to be painstakingly filtered out using their heart and mind.


    This results in most of the initial time in cultivation being a prelude, with actual enhancement and refining happening in just a brief period.


    The spiritual energy in spirit stones has no attributes, so this issue does not exist.


    And the higher the grade of the spirit stone, the purer the contained spiritual energy, making it easier to refine.


    That¡¯s why cultivators in the Tianhe Realm typically prepare some higher-grade spirit stones when they attempt a breakthrough.


    Over on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, they utilize formations to purify the spiritual energy, etc.


    This is also the core method of spirit stone charging, which involves carving arrays into the spirit stones with Divine Sense, for absorbing, purifying, and storing spiritual energy.


    ¡°Senior Brother, can you give me those used supreme-grade spirit stones?¡±


    Considering the charging of spirit stones, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but light up and speak to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Of course, but if you plan to form a ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯ in the future, it¡¯s still better to get a real supreme-grade spirit stone. Among the three major factions of East Barbarians, there¡¯s a large spirit stone mine, and supreme-grade spirit stones are occasionally found at the core of the vein. After we deal with the matters with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, I¡¯ll try to see if I can trade for one from Baiwu Ancestor.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing held high hopes for Chen Mobai, hoping he could genuinely achieve ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯ formation.


    ¡°That would trouble Senior Brother.¡±


    If he could obtain a complete, unused supreme-grade spirit stone, Chen Mobai would naturally be even more delighted.


    ¡°These two jade slips can fill in the blanks in the sect¡¯s Nascent Soul cultivation method. As for the rest, they are of no use to me, Junior Brother, keep them.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing handed over the items from Xuan Shu¡¯s storage bag to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°It¡¯s just right; Xuan¡¯s spell to use after her Core Formation hasn¡¯t been decided yet. This Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation can let her try to comprehend it.¡±

    Chen Mobai also smiled and nodded.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s Blackwater Cultivation could only be practiced to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage. Chen Mobai was still considering which cultivation technique she should switch to.


    She could not practice the Longevity Sect¡¯s Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture; the next best option was the Heavenly Waterfall Cultivation of the Five Elements Sect Water Vein, a technique ranked alongside the Longevity Scripture and also capable of achieving ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯.


    Now he had another choice, the Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation.


    Having dealt with the three storage bags¡¯ contents, Luo Xue¡¯er, who got the news, also arrived at Northern Abyss City.

 Chapter 1234 - Chapter 1234 Chapter 678 Swords Drawn and Bows Bent

    Chapter 1234: Chapter 678: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent Chapter 1234: Chapter 678: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent At first, when Luo Xue¡¯er heard that Jiang Zongheng was coming, she thought it was the Sect Leader sending a disciple to inspect the progress at Mo River, putting pressure on her.


    But she wasn¡¯t the least bit nervous.


    After receiving the support of three big batches of manpower from Rock Country, she had been tirelessly excavating the river channel on the front lines day and night. She felt this was the most fulfilling and strenuous period since coming to Sky Country, and the results were indeed outstanding.


    To emphasize this point, when King Zhou¡¯s envoy sent a message, Luo Xue¡¯er even said she was too busy with work and couldn¡¯t make it to meet in person.


    Over in Sky Country, like Northern Abyss City, King Zhou also founded an Immortal City.


    However, without the full support of Chen Mobai, this Immortal City could only be considered a large Fang Market to this day.


    When the Immortal City was first established, King Zhou didn¡¯t forget to ask Chen Mobai to name it.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai directly instructed him to name it Shengqing.


    To this, King Zhou naturally had no objections and even thought that the Sect Leader was cherishing old memories, commemorating his ancestor who had passed away in meditation.


    Inside Shengqing Market, King Zhou was having tea with Jiang Zongheng, discussing the hottest topic recently in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Luo Yixuan had revealed her Core Formation strength, displayed her divine might, and led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army to attack the Nanxuan sect.


    King Zhou was initially very surprised by this, as it signified a looming great battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, but soon he realized this was the best opportunity to make a contribution to the sect.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t hope to compete with E Yun in terms of economic development and infrastructure projects, so he had to see if he could overtake him through war.


    King Zhou also requested the sect to allow him to lead Sky Country¡¯s army to assist Luo Yixuan.


    However, with Rock Country¡¯s manpower being sufficient to take on the Nanxuan sect after Fang Xuanyang was gone, the Sect¡¯s response was for him to keep his troops still, and to show no mercy to any of the remnants who might flee from Nanxuan sect.


    ¡°Luo Ancestor is truly the one with the highest talent under the Sect Leader¡¯s tutelage, the speed of her Core Formation is almost catching up to that of the Sect Leader.¡±


    King Zhou envied Luo Yixuan greatly. After the news of her Core Formation had spread, the adoration for Chen Mobai as a Great Sage and Good Teacher had soared to unprecedented heights in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Generally, people believed that Luo Yixuan¡¯s Core Formation success might be due to her exceptional talent, but more so because she had been under the Sect Leader Chen¡¯s guidance for many years.


    ¡°I was also quite surprised by the news of Luo Shijie¡¯s Core Formation¡­¡±


    Jiang Zongheng spoke frankly¨CChen Mobai had always believed that secrecy was best maintained with as few people in the know as possible, so whether it was Zhou Shengqing or Luo Yixuan, only a very few essential people were privy to such matters.


    It wasn¡¯t a matter of distrust towards others, but in The Cultivation World, there were countless secret techniques and strange sorceries, along with sinister influences of the Demon Path. If anyone privy to a secret were captured by enemies, even the firmest will could be broken by cunning demonic techniques.


    As the two of them talked, marveling at the prospect of the sect¡¯s impending great battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, King Zhou¡¯s envoy returned.


    When he reported that Luo Xue¡¯er was too busy with the project to come over, both Jiang Zongheng and King Zhou were slightly taken aback.


    Jiang Zongheng had also led Longevity Academy¡¯s disciples to help his second senior sister Zhuo Ming with the river excavation in Rock Country, but no matter how busy they were, there was usually time for a meeting.


    ¡°Is Luo Shijie really that busy?¡±


    However, he wasn¡¯t very familiar with the situation in Sky Country, so he hesitated for a while before asking King Zhou.


    ¡°Jiang Shidi, Luo Shijie has been commanding our Sect Disciples and various contractors from the very front lines at Mo River for the past year, trying to catch up on the progress that fell behind in the previous years¡­¡±


    King Zhou hadn¡¯t expected Luo Xue¡¯er not to show up, but as their successes and failures were linked, he quickly found an excuse.


    ¡°Master sent me to summon Luo Shijie. If she¡¯s truly that busy, then I can only return and report as such.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng expressed his regret. Due to the attention from all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the sect watching the Heterodox Golden Core, to avoid any complications, Chen Mobai only asked him to summon Luo Xue¡¯er.


    King Zhou¡¯s expression changed slightly upon hearing this: ¡°So it was the Sect Leader summoning her. No matter how busy, Luo Shijie must obey the order. I¡¯ll have Bing Yan and Ze Yang go to the Mo River frontlines to replace the Shijie for a while.¡±


    The specific reasons for Jiang Zongheng¡¯s visit were not disclosed, and so King Zhou¡¯s envoy did not emphasize this when passing on the summons.


    If it was clear from the start that it was a summons from Chen Mobai, she would not dare to delay.


    Jiang Zongheng then waited for half a day.


    As soon as Luo Xue¡¯er heard it was a summons from the Sect Leader, she immediately put down her work.


    ¡°Zhou Shimei, Wu Shidi, this stretch of the river channel is crucial for the development and irrigation of thousands of acres of Spirit Fields nearby¡­¡±


    But indeed, Luo Xue¡¯er was immersed in her work. When Bing Yan and Wu Zeyang went to replace her as Foundation Establishment Practitioners, she still gave them some anxious instructions.

    And when she eventually arrived at Northern Abyss City with Jiang Zongheng to hear that the Heterodox Golden Core would be granted to her ahead of schedule, Luo Xue¡¯er kneeling below almost pinched her own thigh blue.


    If she had missed this opportunity, she reckoned she would regret it to death!


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader! Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er, somewhat overwhelmed, bowed repeatedly to Chen Mobai on the mountaintop of Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°The Sect is about to face a great battle with Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace and needs more Core Formation combat forces. You¡¯ve toiled for many years for the sect and have earnestly excavated the river channels in Sky Country. This can be considered a reward for your performance that has moved me.¡±

 Chapter 1235 - Chapter 1235 Chapter 678 Tension between Drawn Swords and

    Chapter 1235: Chapter 678 Tension between Drawn Swords and Bows_2 Chapter 1235: Chapter 678 Tension between Drawn Swords and Bows_2 Chen Mobai spoke, and with a wave of his hand in the void, the Heterodox Golden Core of Water Attribute had already fallen into his palm.


    Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s bright eyes immediately fixed on it, her pale cheeks flushed red, her excitement overflowing beyond words.


    ¡°With this item, when you attempt Nascent Soul Formation, it will either bring life or death. I give you one last chance, do you choose to refine it?¡±


    Chen Mobai still held great respect for each cultivator under his command; Meng Hong used the Heterodox Golden Core because he had no other options left.


    But it was possible for Luo Xue¡¯er to try forming her core using her own foundation.


    ¡°Sect Master, I¡¯m willing!¡±


    But Luo Xue¡¯er didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    For the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness, having the hope to form a Nascent Soul was already a tremendous honor.


    Although the outcome of the Heterodox Golden Core was unpredictable, it offered a higher hope of forming the Nascent Soul than any elixir or external object.


    After witnessing the failures of Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu in forming their Nascent Souls, Luo Xue¡¯er, who believed her talent was comparable to theirs, had already weighed her options.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°You can choose to refine it here in Northern Abyss City or return to Giant Tree Ridge. If you go back, you can find Gu Yan and have her take you to my Longevity Wood Dojo to use the Rank-4 Spiritual Energy there.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er: ¡°I¡¯ll stay in Northern Abyss City, as I still have many questions to seek guidance from the Sect Master on.¡±


    The key to the Heterodox Golden Core lies in the refining, the amount of Spiritual Energy has a minimal impact.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t familiar with the Heavenly Waterfall Cultivation Technique, but with the Formless Puppet at his disposal and sparing no Spirit Stones, he could easily deduce this technique up until the point of forming a Nascent Soul.


    Although Luo Xue¡¯er had reached Foundation Establishment Completion, her understanding of this technique was not yet profound.


    After receiving guidance from Chen Mobai from start to finish, she suddenly saw the light and realized her previous understanding of the technique was somewhat biased.


    ¡°Before you formally attempt Nascent Soul Formation, you can go to Wind Rain Hamlet to substitute for Meng Hong for a while, and seek guidance from Senior Brother Nu Jiang.¡±


    Nu Jiang had formed his Nascent Soul using the Heavenly Waterfall Cultivation Technique and had fought with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze for two hundred years using this technique, achieving a profound mastery.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Master.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er was also very pleased with this, as Nu Jiang¡¯s insights into forming a Nascent Soul were the most useful to her.


    Since Chen Mobai said so, it meant that Nu Jiang would surely oblige.


    At this time, Zhou Shengqing had already gone to the Land of Ruins, so the Cave Dwelling prepared at the mountain peak was given to Luo Xue¡¯er by Chen Mobai.


    Time passed quickly.


    The elite of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, led by two Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators, Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin, arrived at Northern Abyss City on a Flying Boat.


    Thirty Foundation Establishment Practitioners and three thousand Qi Cultivating Disciples in Battle Array formation stationed themselves on the open ground outside Northern Abyss City, occasionally practicing the terrifying presence of Alpha Wood Soldiers, inciting fear among all the Loose Cultivators and clan disciples in the city.


    It seemed that a major battle with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was inevitable.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, the reputation of a Nascent Soul Major Faction still commanded respect from many cultivators. Thus, several cultivators started to sell their properties in Northern Abyss City before the battle, hoping to leave this place which was destined to become a battlefield.


    In response, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stop them, seeing it as a good opportunity to see who truly stood with the Divine Wood Sect.


    It was no problem for the Loose Cultivators to flee, but it was important to see what the major families would do.


    As it turned out, facing the potential confrontation with a Nascent Soul Major Faction, most families chose to pull back.


    They all found excuses to move the core members of their families back to their own territories from Northern Abyss City, avoiding being conscripted by the Divine Wood Sect and becoming cannon fodder.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s orders, the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t obstruct them.


    Soon, the bustling and bustling Northern Abyss City lost more than half of its population.


    On the real estate market, the daily transaction prices kept falling, quickly reaching a low point.


    At this point, Liu Wenbo, who had just been summoned by Chen Mobai, immediately saw a business opportunity. After consulting with Chen Mobai, he had his disciple Song Huangdae start buying up properties at low prices.


    With sufficient Spirit Stones, almost half of the properties in Northern Abyss City soon fell into the hands of Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    This action naturally could not be hidden from those with keen interests.


    Many Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, though not very confident about the battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, were already bound to their sect, and this battle for them was a must-win.


    Thus, they also took the opportunity to buy at low prices, some even purchasing several properties.


    When half a month later, Luo Yixuan led the Divine Wood Sect army and flattened Nanxuan Sect, did the selling frenzy of properties in Northern Abyss City finally come to a halt.


    At this time, the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness were all puzzled.


    Half a month had passed, and even if the reactions from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were slow, they should have definitely received the news by now. So why was there no response at all?


    Where was Fang Xuanyang?


    Could it be that he had been slain by the fierce Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect?


    And what about the Golden Wind Ancestor, that highly reputed Nascent Soul Cultivator?


    Surely he hadn¡¯t been held up by the demonic evils in the Land of Ruins, had he?


    Just as the various major factions of the Eastern Wilderness, and even Chen Mobai himself, were wondering why there had been no movement from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Zhou Shengqing sent a message.


    He had cleared some demonic exotic beasts in the Land of Ruins and found a suitable battle ground.


    There was a Rank-3 Spirit Vein there with a wood attribute, which would enhance the power of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Alpha Wood Soldiers if deployed.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately led the army of the Divine Wood Sect to the battlefield personally.


    As for Northern Abyss City, he left it in the hands of E Yun, who had returned after annihilating the Nanxuan Sect.


    Luo Yixuan, a warrior capable of Core Formation, was naturally taken along by him.


    The actions of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army were upright and justified, and in an instant, the entire Eastern Wilderness began to stir with excitement!


    The battle was finally about to commence!


    It was uncertain on what reliance the Divine Wood Sect dared to confront a Nascent Soul Major Faction.


    Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling even prayed that the two sects would both suffer great losses, giving them time to develop toward ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    However, a month passed and the disciples they had stationed at the front line had still not seen the large army from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    What was going on?


    Were their responses really that slow?


    Two months passed and still, there was no large battle!


    Could it be that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had backed down?


    Three months later, Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling couldn¡¯t help but feel contempt for the Golden Wind Ancestor.


    A formidable Nascent Soul Cultivator being made a fool by a local sect in the Eastern Wilderness and acting like a coward, was utterly unworthy of being a Nascent Soul!


    If it were them who had reached ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± even if the Divine Wood Sect had killed a Qi Cultivating Disciple of theirs, they would make that Sect Master Chen kneel and come to apologize!


    While the entire Eastern Wilderness was bewildered by the retreating behavior of the Golden Wind Ancestor and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, it was the same case on the side of the East Barbarians.


    The Baiwu Ancestor of the Sun Bathing Sea had even summoned Chu Zuoshu specifically to ask him why the Divine Wood Sect dared to make a move on the Nanxuan Sect.


    Chu Zuoshu naturally couldn¡¯t come up with a solid reason; however, with his many years of experience as a sect leader, he handled it properly.


    He directly pinned various charges of oppression of local Eastern Wilderness cultivators, selling Foundation Building Pills without providing protection, and allowing disciples to plunder, among others, on Nanxuan Sect.


    Bai Wu Ancestor listened with a face full of puzzlement.


    Weren¡¯t these all normal behaviors? Which major faction in the Tianhe Realm didn¡¯t act this way? Was the Divine Wood Sect really so intolerant over such trivial matters?


    The newly appointed Little Chen seemed to have a rather firm character. It¡¯s worthy of a Sword Cultivator!


    This was Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s first impression of Chen Mobai!


    However, what he didn¡¯t know was that his summoning of Chu Zuoshu had been learned by a spy from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace who was lurking in the Sun Bathing Sea, and it was swiftly passed back to Bright Mirror Mountain.


    ¡°That old thief really wants to harm me!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this news, the Golden Wind Ancestor became enraged.


    And those below, such as Xuan Guang and other Core Formation practitioners, also repeatedly accused Baiwu Ancestor of being tricky and malicious, their hearts filled with evil. Luckily, the Ancient One¡¯s vision was sharp and had long seen through the plot, otherwise their forces might have been ambushed and wiped out by Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea.


    ¡°Send a disciple with my letter of command to invite the heads of all the major commerce associations in East Barbarians like Star Heaven and others.¡±


    After venting his anger, the Golden Wind Ancestor could only calm down to face reality.


    If Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea were to join forces, he had to seek external help if he wanted to resolve this war.

 Chapter 1236 - Chapter 1236 Chapter 679 Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace

    Chapter 1236: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123) Chapter 1236: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123) Time passed quickly, and half a year had gone by.


    The anticipated furious army from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still had not arrived.


    Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing, feeling somewhat disappointed, led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army away from the battlefield in The Barren.


    Because they had received news from Yu Shuji of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was busy stabilizing their ancestral base at Bright Mirror Mountain, and without a stance from Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea, they would definitely not lead the army out of their stronghold.


    Under the circumstances where Divine Wood Sect nearly unified the Eastern Wilderness, if Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace did not mobilize completely, they simply could not defeat them.


    Golden Wind Ancestor sought help from various commerce associations, hoping they could mediate with Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea to form a non-aggression treaty.


    Only then would Golden Wind Ancestor dare to lead his army out and come to the Eastern Wilderness for revenge.


    Of course, publicly, Golden Wind Ancestor naturally would not show weakness. He expressed, in front of the representatives of the commerce associations, with a face full of anger, that he was not afraid of the two factions but the young ones of the Eastern Wilderness had provoked him too greatly. He asked them to help mediate and give him a chance to flatten the Eastern Wilderness.


    After annihilating the Eastern Wilderness, he would then return with his army, and have a fair and square battle with Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea.


    To this, Baiwu Ancestor felt completely baffled.


    What does this have to do with me?


    Although there were some resentments between me and Golden Wind in the past, it was never to the extent of having a major confrontation.


    To establish the treaty, surely it must involve the three major Nascent Soul Cultivators swearing an oath based on their Dao Heart, only then would it be credible.


    Baiwu Ancestor, feeling that these matters had nothing to do with him, decisively refused to take on another oath.


    And it goes without saying for Kong Sang Valley; Ku Zhu was even more decisive in his refusal.


    After struggling outside for two hundred years, he had finally returned after achieving Nascent Soul Formation. What was that if not to come back, raise his eyebrows, and seek revenge?


    When he was stripped of his position as Sect Leader and expelled from his Sect, being hunted by people sent from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and forced to flee far away, he had sworn in his heart.


    Someday, he would return to reclaim everything he lost here.


    Ku Zhu¡¯s refusal was even more decisive than Baiwu¡¯s, even declaring to the entire East Barbarians in front of the emissary from the Commerce Association that whoever allied with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace would be the enemy of Kong Sang Valley.


    Such a resolute character of a Sword Cultivator shook the entire East Barbarians!


    And as for the major battle between the two factions in the East Barbarians, the various commerce associations naturally would not get involved.


    So after fulfilling their responsibilities, they declared neutrality, not participating in the battle between the two factions, but also hoping the battle would not harm their personnel.


    These commerce associations, able to travel far and wide, were backed by at least Nascent Soul Powers. The Starry Sky Commerce Guild was even a super large Sect in East Land, second only to the Holy Land, so although they were concerned about the battle between the two factions in the East Barbarians, it was merely out of concern for their business.


    Yu Shuji, upon learning this, felt under the pressure from Kong Sang Valley, the old-looking Golden Wind Ancestor was likely no match for Ku Zhu, so he sent disciples to inform Chen Mobai.


    It¡¯s worth mentioning that apart from Qu XiuXian, Lou Xuelong, who had refined a Heterodox Golden Core, also came.


    This Heterodox Golden Core was still reliant on Chen Mobai, who had slain the Mother Locust, so he took this opportunity to come and express his thanks.


    After hearing this news, Chen Mobai felt only a sense of melancholy as if grasping his sword and looking around bewildered.


    He had been looking forward to this battle for many years. Finally, with Zhou Shengqing achieving Nascent Soul, and having nurtured three new Core Formation forces, Meng Hong, Luo Yixuan, and Luo Xue¡¯er, he thought to have a spectacular battle, establish the supreme authority of the Eastern Wilderness, and then, riding on the momentum of this great victory, grandly complete the unification of the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Who knew Golden Wind Ancestor would shrink back.


    But if Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace did not come, Chen Mobai also could not possibly lead Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army there.


    He was not arrogant to that extent; he clearly understood that only by having the advantage of terrain could he possibly defeat Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    If they really went to the opponent¡¯s territory, they probably wouldn¡¯t even reach Bright Mirror Mountain.


    So although he felt very melancholic, Chen Mobai still expressed his thanks to Yu Shuji¡¯s two disciples, then discussed with Zhou Shengqing and began to retreat.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army, even without fighting here, was increasing its expenditures by twenty thousand everyday.


    Of course, all these were recorded. After winning the war, the Sect would verify other merits with Reward Virtue Hall and distribute them collectively.


    If Divine Wood Sect was utterly defeated, naturally, these could not be collected.


    So the Sect Disciples, in a possible winning situation, would always work extremely hard.


    Moreover, if they truly fought with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s army, these contributions would need to be increased.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Now, after half a year without fighting, Divine Wood Sect¡¯s accounts had accrued a debt of 3.6 million Sect contributions.


    So hearing that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was not coming, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing decided not to increase the burden on Reward Virtue Hall.


    They directly instructed Quan Shanlin to lead the core Sect Members of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions back first.


    Although Giant Tree Ridge had Fu Zongjue and Yue Zutao overseeing the situation, such wartime makeshift arrangements definitely could not last long.


    However, before the army disbanded and returned, aside from those core personnel, Chen Mobai still gave another option to the ordinary elders and disciples.

 Chapter 1237 - Chapter 1237 Chapter 679 Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace

    Chapter 1237: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123)_2 Chapter 1237: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123)_2 That entailed staying atop the Eastern Desolation Plateau, helping to open up two great rivers.


    There was another consideration, namely that although the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace hadn¡¯t made a move from the East Barbarians side yet, there was no guarantee that an unexpected situation wouldn¡¯t arise, with the Golden Wind Ancestor suddenly leading people over in an attack.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai hoped that over the next few years, as many disciples from the Divine Wood Sect as possible could remain on the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    This way, even if a war were to suddenly break out, a large army of cultivators could be assembled quickly.


    Chen Mobai offered the Foundation Establishment Practitioners left behind an extra benefit of a thousand Spirit Stones each year, and the Qi Cultivating Disciples eighty Spirit Stones each year.


    That is to say, these would not affect the Spirit Stones they could collect annually from the sect.


    Many expressed their willingness to stay.


    However, most of these people chose to stay on the side of Rock Country, showing little interest in Sky Country.


    But this time, Chen Mobai learned his lesson and limited each country to only twenty Foundation Establishments and five hundred Qi Practitioners.


    Rock Country filled up quickly.


    After all, many cultivators had already purchased Cave Dwellings in Northern Abyss City, and naturally, being close to the Xiao Nanshan Lineage would establish good relationships for future battles for Immortal Peach Fruits or Gold Core Spiritual Material, among others.


    Still, earning Spirit Stones was the same anywhere, and those who couldn¡¯t secure a spot in Rock Country thought, Sky Country wasn¡¯t bad either, so the latter¡¯s quota also quickly filled.


    Chen Mobai saw that his policy was well-received and, thinking of Yan Yuanhao laboriously managing sand control in Rainbow Country and also lacking manpower, waved his hand generously, extending this benefit to Rainbow Country as well.


    However, most of Rainbow Country was a desert with scarce resources, so even with a thousand Spirit Stone subsidy, only three truly impoverished Foundation Establishment Practitioners were willing to go there.


    On the other hand, the quota for Qi Practitioners filled up quickly with five hundred people.


    But these were mostly early and mid-stage Qi Practitioners because those with strong connections had already stayed in Rock Country or gone to Sky Country.


    It was precisely these low-level disciples with no backing who were willing to go to a barren land like Rainbow Country to earn Spirit Stones.


    Yan Yuanhao was moved by this.


    The Sect Leader had finally remembered Rainbow Country.


    In this way, nearly half the army from the Divine Wood Sect that had come over was retained on the Eastern Desolation Plateau by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior Brother, must you really work so hard?¡±


    Atop a mountain Cave Dwelling in Northern Abyss City, Zhou Shengqing was talking with Chen Mobai, his expression somewhat hesitant.


    Mainly because Chen Mobai still worried about a sudden assault from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and wanted to stay to guard this junction at the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    While Zhou Shengqing felt that it would be better for Chen Mobai to cultivate intensively at Giant Tree Ridge, striving to become the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s first true Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    However, Chen Mobai ultimately persuaded him, especially since Northern Abyss City now also had a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, and there was no shortage of Spirit Stones.


    Furthermore, the crisis with the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace had not yet been resolved, necessitating someone capable of overseeing the situation here.


    ¡°If only we had a Medium Transporting Formation!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said with some regret, as a Medium Transporting Formation could span across countries, but seeing as Jian Country and the Eastern Desolation Plateau were nearly half of the Eastern Desolation away from each other, it might require two Medium Transporting Formations to be fully connected.


    Regrettably, only major powers could set up Medium Transporting Formations.


    Even the three major factions of the East Barbarians did not possess this technology.


    ¡°Can¡¯t the Starry Sky Commerce Association do it? Ask Yu Shuji about it.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this, now that their Divine Wood Sect had no rivals in the Eastern Wilderness and was qualified to establish a Medium Transporting Formation.


    But regrettably, regarding the Medium Transporting Formation, Yu Shuji also expressed his inability to help.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, our Star Heaven Dao Sect has a limited stock of Medium Transporting Formations, and they have already been reserved by other clients.¡±


    Answering this question was Yu Shuji¡¯s disciple, Lou Xuelong.


    ¡°Oh, so this teleportation array wasn¡¯t made by your Star Heaven Dao Sect but obtained from another commerce association?¡±


    Chen Mobai found this a bit strange, as he had heard from Zhou Shengqing that the two medium transport formations of the Five Elements Sect were arranged with the help of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, actually, across all the Six Domains of the Eastern Earth, every teleportation array originates from a single sect, one of the Eastern Earth Holy Lands¨CTaixu MiaoMiao Palace.¡±


    ¡°This method of teleportation arrays is also controlled by this sect, and if other sect forces use it without their permission, it will be treated as stealing the holy techniques and could lead to fatal consequences.¡±


    ¡°However, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace has few sect members and disciples, so a long time ago, they delegated the technique of creating small teleportation arrays to their subordinate branches, including our Star Heaven Dao Sect, who spent a large amount of spirit stones for the authorization to produce small teleportation arrays.¡±


    ¡°However, the rights to produce medium or larger teleportation arrays are still tightly held by the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace. Initially, the large-scale teleportation array in East Barbarians was something several of our commerce associations advocated for the convenience of travel by vouching for the Sun Bathing Sea, which we managed to acquire from the Eastern side.¡±


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen needs a medium teleportation array, I¡¯m afraid you will have to wait until the next time our Dao Sect obtains one from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace. Moreover, the Zhou family from Dongwu, and the three major factions from East Barbarians have also expressed their reservation, and it might still require a costly auction to secure it.¡±


    Lou Xuelong revealed the secrets about the teleportation array to Chen Mobai.


    These matters were naturally known to superpowers like the Star Heaven Dao Sect, but it was the first time Chen Mobai was hearing about it, and he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    He never expected that even a place like the Tianhe Realm would have patents.


    However, the reason all forces complied was still due to overwhelming power.


    Being one of the Four Great Holy Lands, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace was reinforced by a living Divinity Transformation expert, and any force that wished to develop steadily wouldn¡¯t dare to offend.


    Knowing this, Chen Mobai could only first make a reservation for a medium teleportation array through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild. If that failed, he planned to unify the Five Elements Sect first.


    Then, he could move the teleportation array from Hunyuan Immortal City to Northern Abyss City to serve as a temporary solution.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai thanked Lou Xuelong, who had made a special trip here.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, don¡¯t mention it. Actually, there¡¯s one thing for which I might need your help.¡±


    Lou Xuelong had come today not only to explain about the teleportation arrays but also for another purpose; he took out a bag of spirit rice.


    Chen Mobai took it and noticed that it was a type of Rank-3 spirit rice. The grains looked like light purple crystals, containing an energy that made him feel somewhat familiar, and he couldn¡¯t help but look a bit surprised.


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Master Chen, this is Big Sun Purple Rice, developed painstakingly by a predecessor spirit plant master of our Star Heaven Dao Sect. It needs to be planted on spiritual land with abundant sunlight and rich in solar essence for it to grow.¡±


    ¡°We discovered a long time ago that Rainbow Country was highly suitable. We also tried to cooperate with Liu Jia Mountain, but because they needed to downgrade their Fourth Grade spirit vein to a Third Rank spirit field, the negotiation never concluded.¡±


    ¡°Now that Rainbow Country has been secured by your sect, and the Fourth Grade spirit vein land of Liu Jia Mountain has reportedly been vacant for a long time, I wonder if it would be possible for us to work together to transform it into a spirit field for growing Big Sun Purple Rice.¡±


    ¡°This is a third-rank superior grade spirit rice. When growing, it can absorb the purple Qi of the big sun from sunlight, and if cultivators consume it for a long time, it can help strengthen their physique and enhance their vital essence, making it the ultimate treasure rice for Body Refining Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen is willing, after the spirit rice harvest, our Star Heaven Dao Sect is prepared to give half a pound of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice for every pound of Big Sun Purple Rice harvested.¡±


    After Lou Xuelong finished speaking, Chen Mobai put down the bag of spirit rice with a slightly strange expression.


    Big Sun Purple Rice?


    Isn¡¯t this just the spirit rice version of Pure Yang Purple Qi!


    No wonder it felt so familiar.

    Chen Mobai watched as Lou Xuelong, with a sincere-looking expression, thought to himself that this young man wasn¡¯t being honest.


    He didn¡¯t believe Lou Xuelong was unaware that the Big Sun Purple Rice could help break through cultivation bottlenecks, but he probably didn¡¯t mention it because he didn¡¯t want their Divine Wood Sect cultivators to improve due to this rice.


    And in the Eastern Wilderness, only Golden Core Cultivators could afford Rank-3 spirit rice.


    That meant they wanted to do business but didn¡¯t want their Divine Wood Sect to benefit from it.


    Truly, business is ruthless!

 Chapter 1238 - Chapter 1238 Chapter 680 Grand Vision in the Heart

    Chapter 1238: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in the Heart Chapter 1238: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in the Heart ¡°This condition seems a bit too generous!¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai pretended to be astonished and said, ¡°Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice is known as the best Spirit Rice in the Eastern Wilderness. Back to Sky Valley relies on this and makes a fortune every year.¡±


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the main reason is that our Commerce Association sincerely wants to establish a long-term partnership with your Divine Wood Sect, so we are offering such terms. Moreover, once your sect reaches an agreement with our association, we will also help mediate the matters with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    Lou Xuelong said with a smile, because he knew that the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was currently under pressure from Kong Sang Valley and was already struggling to manage on their own, which was why he dared to make such a statement.


    Moreover, this Big Sun Purple Rice has vast uses, but the Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s territory in East Yu is full of steep mountains, and there are very few Spirit Fields that meet the daylight conditions, prompting the Commerce Association to search globally for suitable planting sites.


    If all the Fourth Grade Spirit Veins of Liu Jia Mountain were dispersed, although it wouldn¡¯t be as vast as the ten thousand acres of the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, it would still scale around three thousand acres.


    ¡°How long does it take for the Big Sun Purple Rice to mature each cycle? What is the yield per acre? When your guild arranges for the seeds, will you also send experts to guide how to plant them? After maturation, are all the Spiritual Rice able to be calculated according to the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, or will it be like the partnership with Back to Sky Valley, where your guild takes a portion first¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai asked many questions in one go. If the Big Sun Purple Rice truly had effects similar to the Pure Yang Purple Qi as he suspected, then it was undoubtedly a supreme treasure for the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect and even for himself.


    Thus, he was very keen to make this deal happen.


    ¡°On average, it matures every thirty years, but if the sunlight is sufficient and the Solar Essence is abundant, it might mature a few years earlier.¡±


    ¡°The yield per acre is about the same as Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, around one hundred pounds.¡±


    ¡°As for the partnership mode, I personally prefer it to be like with Back to Sky Valley. Our guild would provide the seeds and guide your sect in planting, but there would be a fee involved.¡±


    ¡°The reason being, those who will come to give advice are Cultivation Technique masters of our own sect, led by my own martial uncle and martial grand-uncle, who are Golden Core Cultivators and Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Masters. Coming here amidst their busy schedules is not easy, so Sect Master Chen needs to prepare a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones. However, this would ensure that at least eighty percent of the Spirit Rice planted survives and yields harvests.¡±


    ¡°When the Spirit Rice matures, our guild¡¯s people will come to supervise the harvesting, and we will then have a thirty-seventy split, with your sect¡¯s share being exchanged on the spot with Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, ¡°An annual guidance fee of one million Spirit Stones is quite high, but if we can harvest seventy percent, it is not unacceptable.¡±


    After hearing this, Lou Xuelong coughed lightly twice, a bit embarrassedly correcting him, ¡°Sect Master Chen, it¡¯s our Commerce Association that takes seventy percent, your sect takes thirty percent!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai fell silent immediately.


    Could Back to Sky Valley really accept such conditions?


    How is this any different than begging on one¡¯s knees!


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen is unable to accept this form of partnership, there is a second option.¡±


    ¡°However, in that case, your sect would need to purchase the Spirit Rice seeds from us, with the price being one top-grade Spirit Stone per acre. Moreover, whether the seed survives or not, our Star Heaven Dao Sect will not guarantee.¡±


    ¡°Even if the planting matures, the Big Sun Purple Rice can only be sold to our Starry Sky Commerce Guild. If we find out that your sect violates this contract, then we will not sell the seeds to you the following year.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai again asked, ¡°What if I keep the Big Sun Purple Rice for my own use after plantation?¡±


    Lou Xuelong paused upon hearing this question and then replied, ¡°Sect Master Chen, although the Big Sun Purple Rice is also a type of Body-Strengthening Spirit Rice, its effect is only one quarter of that of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice. The main reason is because we, the Star Heaven Dao Sect, have a Cultivation Technique that requires Big Sun Purple Qi, but direct absorption by the human body requires the Body Refining Realm of Rank-4, which prompted us to develop this type of Spirit Rice. Exchanging it with Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice through your sect would definitely be profitable.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded as if he believed him.

    After all, throughout the Eastern Region, all six Realms have recognized Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice as the best among all Rank-3 Spirit Rice for Body-Strengthening effects.


    If Zhuo Ming could consume this type of Spirit Rice long-term, it was estimated that it would only take twenty years for him to effortlessly break through to the fifth level of the Ninefold Law Body.


    But if the primary function of the Big Sun Purple Rice is not for Body-Strengthening but for breaking through bottlenecks, then its value is completely different.


    ¡°Why not, let¡¯s try out a partnership for a hundred acres first?¡±


    With the Star Heaven Dao Sect willingly approaching him, Chen Mobai did not want to pass up this opportunity.

 Chapter 1239 - Chapter 1239 Chapter 680 Grand Vision in Mind_2

    Chapter 1239: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in Mind_2 Chapter 1239: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in Mind_2 Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Lou Xuelong at a loss for what to say, but in the eyes of many cultivators, a fourth grade spirit vein was indeed far more important than spirit rice.


    After all, at the beginning, didn¡¯t Liu Jia Mountain want to cooperate with the Star Heaven Dao Sect, a super sect that dominated a territory? It was just that they were reluctant to disperse their own fourth grade spirit vein, whether it was Yan Fusheng or South Master Dao.


    After all, a fourth grade spirit vein concerned the very foundation of their cultivation.


    The spirit stones earned from spirit rice, to them, were not as important as their own realm.


    Now that Chen Mobai was willing to cooperate, Lou Xuelong felt that this trip was worthwhile.


    As long as the spirit rice matured and the Divine Wood Sect got a taste of the benefits, he was confident he could convince the entire Liu Jia Mountain to plant Dari Purple Rice.


    The two parties drew up a tentative agreement.


    It was stipulated that the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would donate spiritual rice seeds to the Divine Wood Sect, send someone to guide the planting process to ensure a yield of eighty catties per acre, and after the matured Dari Purple Rice, the Divine Wood Sect could only sell it to the Starry Sky Commerce Guild or use it themselves.


    There were also some supplementary clauses detailing various responsibilities in different situations.


    After the contract was finalized, Lou Xuelong happily took his leave.


    Next, as long as the Divine Wood Sect cleared a hundred acres of third rank superior grade spirit field on Liu Jia Mountain and informed him, the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would send a dedicated Earth Master and Spirit Plant Master over for inspection.


    Once the spirit field met the requirements, the Golden Core Cultivators from the Star Heaven Dao Sect would bring the seeds over.


    Chen Mobai watched him leave and then picked up the bag of spirit rice that shone like pale purple crystals.


    Lou Xuelong had not taken it with him.


    Half a day later, Zhuo Ming, who had been summoned by Chen Mobai, returned.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, this is Dari Purple Rice¡­¡±


    Facing this treasured disciple, Chen Mobai explained the agreement with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild in detail, and Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes shone with excitement upon hearing it.


    ¡°Master, if this Dari Purple Rice can be exchanged for Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, in the future you and Elder Fu and the others won¡¯t need to buy from the outside anymore.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the sect, knew as the most accomplished Spirit Plant Master in the Divine Wood Sect just how many immense amounts of spirit stones the sect spent every year to buy the rank-3 spirit rice needed by the Golden Core Cultivators.


    Moreover, the mine veins where the superior grade spirit stones could be mined in the Wind Country were nearly exhausted, and should the cultivation succeed, according to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s intentions, they would surely exchange it for the more renowned and better Body Forging effect Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s plant it first. When the Spirit Plant Master from the Star Heaven Dao Sect comes over, I want you to personally receive them and learn how to plant this Dari Purple Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also unsure whether the Dari Purple Rice really had the kind of bottleneck-breaking effects like that of Pure Yang Purple Qi; he did not dare to take it to the Immortal Gate for testing and analysis.


    After all, at the Immortal Gate, every new type of spiritual rice was at least continuously sown and optimized for over ten years; each seed improvement was documented and traceable.


    Furthermore, the essence of the sun and moon was intercepted by the Heavenly Curtain at the Immortal Gate, integrating into the Earth Network to supply the Thirty-six Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands, a critical prerequisite for Dari Purple Rice that wouldn¡¯t be met there.


    Therefore, the only option was to plant and observe in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After the plantation matured, if he had mastered the second layer of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram and Immune to All Poisons, he would personally try consuming it. If not, he would find someone else suitable.


    Chen Mobai had already conceived a series of plans for this Dari Purple Rice, but Zhuo Ming, this disciple of his, wasn¡¯t as deep in thoughts as Luo Yixuan, so he didn¡¯t discuss these things with her first.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming was full of confidence at Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion to learn how to plant Dari Purple Rice.


    After all, this was what she was best at.


    ¡°Then, Master, should I hand over the affairs of White River to Luo Shimei and first go to Rainbow Country to cultivate the spirit field, and also start preparing to treat the sands?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, just about to leave, suddenly remembered that she was still the chief in charge of the opening up of White River on the Rock Country side; if she went to cultivate fields in Rainbow Country, she definitely couldn¡¯t handle both tasks.


    ¡°You handle Rainbow Country, and I¡¯ll personally take care of Rock Country. It¡¯s better if Xuan stays with you too, and take Qing Mei along as well. Although the Nanxuan sect has been extinguished and our sect has no rivals in the Eastern Wilderness, I still worry about the possibility of a Golden Core Cultivator losing their senses and making a move against you. With Xuan by your side, I¡¯ll feel more at ease.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was establishing his foundation, he had already planned to build Northern Abyss City into the number one Immortal City in the Eastern Wilderness, and the time seemed ripe now.


    After all, once the Eastern Wilderness was unified in the future, his ambitions would surely reach beyond the surrounding domains.


    Dongwu, Eastern Wilderness, and East Barbarians ¨C when viewed together, the Eastern Desolation Plateau is exactly at the center.


    And this Northern Abyss City is the center of the Eastern Desolation Plateau!


    Therefore, Chen Mobai had long harbored the idea of relocating the Divine Wood Sect to the Northern Abyss City. However, relocation was no easy matter, regardless of the location.


    Especially since there were two people in the sect who held onto the past, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    Although both of them valued him highly, it was doubtful they would agree on this matter.


    Hence, Chen Mobai simply used the pretext of defending the Eastern Wilderness against the possible great army from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, to personally remain and take charge of the Northern Abyss City.


    Next, he would issue orders in the name of the Sect Leader, getting everyone in the Divine Wood Sect accustomed to following commands from Northern Abyss City. Once he unified Eastern Wilderness later on, relocation would naturally follow suit.


    By that time, taking down the Five Elements Sect meant giving Hun Yuan Immortal City to Zhou Shengqing!


    Giant Tree Ridge would continue to be left to Fu Zongjue to guard the Divine Tree Secret Realm!


    Mo Douguang, Sheng Zhaoxi, and others would likely be too lazy to move and continue to stay above their own Fourth Grade Spirit Vein territories, perfectly positioning a Golden Core Cultivator in every valuable area of the Eastern Wilderness.


    And Chen Mobai would sit in Northern Abyss City, overlooking the three domains.


    Meng Hong, Luo Xue¡¯er, Luo Yixuan, and the future Golden Core Cultivators Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei ¨C a party of five.


    Chen Mobai intended for them to be responsible for exploring the many mysterious places such as Yun Meng Ze, the Ruins, and the Boundless Sand Sea¡­


    According to the norms of the Immortal Gate, if these three places could also be developed, their resources likely wouldn¡¯t be inferior to those of the Eastern Wilderness.


    A grand and ambitious plan with Northern Abyss City at its core had already taken shape in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    With Zhou Shengqing reaching ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and the sect¡¯s power and influence growing stronger, Chen Mobai decided not to lie low any longer but to bravely realize this grand ambition which had been buried deep in his heart for so long.


    Next was a three-step plan.


    Chen Mobai summoned his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Run a trip to Back to Sky Valley and deliver this letter to Yan Shaoyin; if he agrees, you¡¯ll return to Giant Tree Ridge and have Yue Zutao collect these herbs and deliver them to Yan Shaoyin.¡±


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s letter asking Yan Shaoyin to refine Golden Liquid Jade Pills. Even if the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley collected the herbs together, it would take a considerable amount of time.


    And with the alchemy process factored in, it was conservatively estimated it would take three to five years.


    This was mainly because the Divine Wood Sect had already gathered quite a few cultivators at the completion of Foundation Establishment, and Chen Mobai felt it was time to refine Golden Liquid Jade Pills.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai speculated that Yan Shaoyin was very likely to refuse.


    That¡¯s because the Divine Wood Sect was already hard to control, and if another Golden Core Cultivator were to be added, not even the True Persons from the five lines of the Five Elements Sect allied with Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace would be a match.


    If Yan Shaoyin wanted to strive for the time to reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he would definitely try to delay.


    For this, Chen Mobai had already thought of all the counter-strategies.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo took the letter and left with his orders. Before leaving, he had Song Huangdae stay behind. This bargain-disciple, if nothing else, was quite clever in handling matters; he was already managing the affairs of Little Nan Mountain Shop in Rock Country with no issues.


    And Chen Mobai also needed someone to handle miscellaneous tasks by his side.


    After the eldest disciple, Chen Mobai called over his younger disciple.

    ¡°Zong Heng, take a look at this map of the Eastern Wilderness; do you notice anything amiss?¡±


    Jiang Zongheng entered and, upon Chen Mobai¡¯s gesture, approached to examine the map of the Eastern Wilderness laid out in the great hall, made to scale by an Earth Master with varied elevations.


    ¡°Disciple is dull of wit and has noticed nothing.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng spoke truthfully; Chen Mobai laughed and pointed to the varied borderline of nineteen different countries on the map of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°There are far too many mortal regimes; only one is necessary!¡±

 Chapter 1240 - Chapter 1240 Chapter 681 Lord of All Under Heaven

    Chapter 1240: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven Chapter 1240: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Jiang Zongheng immediately expanded his vision.


    He looked at the vast Donghuang map and felt that nineteen nations were indeed too many and too chaotic.


    If there were only one instead, the great unified world he dreamt of in his childhood readings might just be within reach.


    ¡°Master, what do I need to do?¡±


    The Eastern Wilderness was on the brink of an unprecedented golden age, a concept historically uncharted, so Jiang Zongheng, overcome with emotion, hastily sought advice on how to begin.


    ¡°Although the Eastern Wilderness has never been unified since antiquity, if you look at the entire Eastern Region, it has been done before. What are your own thoughts on this?¡±


    Chen Mobai did have a full plan in mind, but whether he could implement the system of the Immortal Gates in Eastern Wilderness was uncertain, so he also wanted to hear the thoughts of Jiang Zongheng, his local disciple.


    Faced with the Donghuang map before him, Jiang Zongheng thought for a while and said:


    ¡°Throughout history, the unification of the world always required a mighty ruler who could end the chaos. As a disciple, I am willing to journey through the Mortal World to find this person and support him to become the lord of all under heaven.¡±


    This had been Jiang Zongheng¡¯s wish ever since he became enlightened and was the best conclusion he could draw based on all the dynastic history of the Tianhe Realm he knew.


    ¡°If that is the case, Zongheng, go to the Mortal Realm and fulfill this great aspiration. You have the talent for managing worldly affairs, and I believe you can achieve this.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that reform could always only go a step further; if he proposed from the start that worldly dynasties were unnecessary, and cultivators should rule the Mortal World instead, many people would probably think him a madman.


    The sages of the Dao Morale Sect in the Eastern Earth Holy Land believed that the best system for this world was for the Mortal World to have its own dynasties and for the great Immortal Sect families to silently cultivate in seclusion within their Spirit Veins, hidden from the world.


    Only when a natural catastrophe occurred would cultivators intervene, guiding the mortal dynasties through calamity.


    If fate had truly run its course, then they would change dynasties and start anew!


    In this way, the mortal remains mortal, and the immortal remains immortal.


    The isolation of mortal and immortal is the law of Heaven!


    The Dao Morale Sect governed with this philosophy, producing Divinity Transformation Sages generation after generation.


    Chen Mobai decided to proceed according to the rules of the Tianhe Realm for now, as the main goal was to unify Eastern Wilderness.


    With the sheer aim of creating a lord of all under heaven, at least on the surface, there was a reason to take the twelve nations not affiliated with Divine Wood Sect into his fold.


    If after the unification of Eastern Wilderness, the mortal dynasties couldn¡¯t establish a peaceful and prosperous world, then Chen Mobai would be ready to advocate for the Immortal Gate system here.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Jiang Zongheng took the order and departed; three days later, he left Northern Abyss City with three scrolls in hand.


    Since Chen Mobai, as the head of the academy, was present, the Longevity Academy didn¡¯t need his oversight, so Jiang Zongheng left with ease.


    He first visited the Rock Country to meet the local Zhao dynasty.


    The Zhaos had long reigned over the highlands, known for their bravery, and among them, Zhao Zheng, King Zhao¡¯s eldest son, deeply admired the Immortal Sect and had lived outside Northern Abyss City for ten years.


    It was a pity Zhao Zheng lacked the Spiritual Root Talent; after seeking immortality for ten years and failing to enter the Immortal City, he had to leave dejectedly to inherit the throne.


    On hearing of the arrival of an Immortal Master, Zhao Zheng immediately welcomed him with great courtesy.


    Zhao Zheng was tall and mighty, his face resolute, his gaze piercing. Although his pursuit of immortality was not fulfilled, he nonetheless cultivated his mundane martial art to peak mastery, achieving Innate Extreme at a young age and earning the title of ¡®Martial Monarch.¡¯


    In the presence of Jiang Zongheng, the towering Zhao Zheng was respectful, paying him a disciple¡¯s homage.


    ¡°Immortal, is it truly impossible to seek immortality without a Spiritual Root?¡±


    Upon their meeting, Zhao Zheng asked a question that rendered Jiang Zongheng silent.


    ¡°If there are heavenly and earthly treasures, even a mortal could develop a Spiritual Root through consumption and refinement.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng shared what he knew, and after hearing this, Zhao Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up as he immediately inquired about the required treasures.


    ¡°Your Majesty, such heavenly and earthly treasures can only be attained by those with great Fate, and even if one manages to get hold of them, the mortal body is unable to withstand it.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words caused Zhao Zheng¡¯s brows to furrow tightly, but he remained unwilling to give up, displaying his Mortal World¡¯s ultimate martial prowess.


    ¡°With my physical body, is it still insufficient?¡±


    ¡°Your Majesty, any heavenly and earthly treasures capable of cultivating a Spiritual Root have been nurtured by the world for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention you, even if I were to consume them, it would require my Master¡¯s intervention for successful refinement.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words rekindled hope in Zhao Zheng.


    ¡°Immortal Master, if I were to find such treasures, could I request assistance from your Master?¡±


    This question once again plunged Jiang Zongheng into silence. However, considering King Zhao¡¯s bravery, he indeed could be the mighty ruler capable of unifying Eastern Wilderness. Thus, he offered hope.

    ¡°If Your Majesty can become the lord of Eastern Wilderness, then you will be granted an audience with my Master.¡±


    As Jiang Zongheng spoke these words, the entire hall fell silent!


    Aside from King Zhao, the ministers of the Zhao royal family were also in attendance. Their dream was merely to retain their humble portion of land in Rock Country.


    After all, with the power of Immortal Sects behind the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, even if their mortal forces were formidable, they could never withstand a Flying Sword.


    In the history of Eastern Wilderness, many ambitious monarchs were beheaded by cultivators descending from the heavens, even amidst tens of thousands of troops.

 Chapter 1241 - Chapter 1241 Chapter 681 Lord of All Under Heaven_2

    Chapter 1241: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven_2 Chapter 1241: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven_2 After several rounds of negotiation, the territories of the nineteen kingdoms of the Eastern Wilderness had finally been delineated. Unless notified by an Immortal Sect, the royal armies of each kingdom would not step outside their own realms.


    ¡°May I ask who the esteemed Immortal Master is?¡±


    The person speaking to Jiang Zong Heng, seated first on Zhao Zheng¡¯s left-hand side, was an old man wrapped in a golden belt¨Can imposing figure who was likely the head of the assembled ministers.


    ¡°If you are from the royal family of Rock Country, then you should all know of Northern Abyss City.¡±


    As soon as Jiang Zong Heng¡¯s words fell, everyone present nodded their heads in agreement.


    After all, whenever they had children of the appropriate age, a cultivator from Northern Abyss City would come to measure their Spiritual Roots.


    In the past few decades, three of them were discovered to have Spiritual Roots. King Zhao was able to locate Northern Abyss City based on this fact; regrettably, however, Spiritual Roots were like a heaven-severing moat, barring him from entry into the city.


    ¡°This Northern Abyss City was personally established by my Master. The current Lord of Northern Abyss City is one of my senior fellow disciples.¡±


    Jiang Zong Heng¡¯s revelation caused all the attendees to show expressions of shock, and King Zhao even stood up immediately to perform a grand salute to Jiang Zong Heng.


    ¡°So it is a high disciple of Shenmu Immortal Sect, Immortal Venerate Chen. I beg your forgiveness, for I have failed to recognize a True Immortal¡­¡±


    As a member of the mortal royal family, especially as the mundane ruler of Rock Country, King Zhao was clear about the sect based above him. After all, three of his ministers¡¯ children had entered the Longevity Academy for Immortal Cultivation.


    Although they did not understand the real Cultivation World, they were aware that Divine Wood Sect was the undisputed number one Immortal Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    And the master of this Immortal Sect was Immortal Venerate Chen!


    ¡°Master intends to end the chaos among the various kingdoms of the Eastern Wilderness. If King Zhao can become the unified ruler of the people, I am willing to present you to him.¡±


    After Jiang Zong Heng finished speaking, he placed the three scrolls he had brought on the desk, then conjured clouds beneath his feet and ascended into the sky, disappearing from the great hall.


    King Zhao immediately led his ministers in pursuit.


    But by the time they emerged, Jiang Zong Heng had already vanished into the horizon.


    After leaving Rock Country, Jiang Zong Heng went to Rainbow Country. However, although nominally a single nation, it was, due to the presence of the desert, a collection of nomadic tribes with power residing in camel-riding groups.


    Jiang Zong Heng found one royal court there that held the largest oasis, but regrettably, they lacked cultural refinement and societal norms, and they were also merely interested in pursuing the techniques for immortality.


    Having departed from Rainbow Country, Jiang Zong Heng then visited the royal families of Sky Country, Lei Nation, Yun Country, Rain Country, and others under the rule of Divine Wood Sect.


    Among these, the King of Lei Nation was wise and astute. After years of warfare, he had used the geographical advantage of being the mouth of the Eastern Desolation Plateau to turn his previously weak nation into a strong one, balancing internal interests, leading to an era of great governance and peace for the people.


    Regrettably, faced with Jiang Zong Heng, the King¡¯s first request was also for the techniques of Immortal Cultivation.


    Following custom, after leaving behind his three scrolls, Jiang Zong Heng departed.


    The last royal family he observed was that of Jian Country, from which Jiang Zong Heng himself originated.


    The current King of Han of Jian Country was already eighty-seven years old.


    From when Jiang Zong Heng was very young, he had heard his parents say that the king, even as a Crown Prince, had a reputation for wisdom, and after his accession, he continued to live up to expectations, maintaining the governance established by his predecessors. He ruled for fifty-two years, during which the seas were calm, and peace reached from the most distant regions to the nearest ones. He had built Jian Country into the most powerful state in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Regrettably, such a wise king now laid aged and infirm on his sickbed.


    Jiang Zong Heng held the highest expectations for Jian Country, thus he specifically returned to Giant Tree Ridge and exchanged for an elixir at Spirit Treasure Pavilion that could protect mortals from all illnesses.


    Regrettably, he was not able to meet with the King of Han.


    For, while the king lay on his sickbed, three factions had already formed in the court, each supporting one of the princes, beginning a struggle for power and profit.


    Jiang Zong Heng attempted to meet with the King of Han, identifying himself as a disciple of a great scholar from Jian Country, but he was unable to pass the checkpoints set up by the three princes.


    Jiang Zong Heng could only sigh at the situation. He had intended to meet with the king as an ordinary person from his homeland, but what he met with instead were wariness and estrangement.


    He had no choice but to reveal his true identity.


    Among the camps of the three princes, there were also cultivators, but they were all backed by the major families of Jian Country and did not include anyone from Divine Wood Sect.


    And as Jiang Zongheng¡¯s Foundation Establishment status of the Divine Wood Sect was revealed, all related cultivators in the King¡¯s Court came to pay their respects, while those unrelated immediately concealed their presence and shrunk back, avoiding detection.


    After taking Jiang Zongheng¡¯s elixir, the ailing King of Han regained a healthy glow on his face.


    The three princes, upon witnessing this scene, had varying expressions, but nonetheless had no choice but to step forward and thank Jiang Zongheng, then each displayed their filial piety in front of King Han.


    During these days, Jiang Zongheng had also observed the three princes, wishing to assess the quality of King Han¡¯s successors. Unfortunately, the eldest prince was indecisive, the second prince tyrannical, and the third prince gloomy¨Cnone fit to be a true leader.


    Jiang Zongheng: ¡°Your Majesty has tirelessly toiled for the state for many years, always with a heavy heart. Although this elixir can cure the illness of your body, it cannot reverse the chronic afflictions of your spirit.¡±


    After hearing this, King Han too sighed softly, signaling his three joyous sons to rise, and then turned to Jiang Zongheng to seek the technique of longevity.


    ¡°Even with heavenly and earthly treasures, at Your Majesty¡¯s age, it would be futile. You should rather think about how to extend your dynasty.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words caused King Han¡¯s expression to darken, but having lived so long, he had encountered countless cultivators, so he was mentally prepared for this outcome.


    ¡°I wonder, Immortal Master, what brings you here to bestow elixirs. Is there something you require this king to do?¡±


    King Han asked a second question.


    ¡°My master intends to unite the Eastern Wilderness. He tasked me with selecting the supreme ruler of the world. Born in Jian Country, I have long heard of Your Majesty¡¯s wise reputation, so I specially came to meet you in person.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words profoundly shocked King Han and the three princes.


    They already knew Jiang Zongheng¡¯s identity. If the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Immortal Venerate Chen intended to unify the Eastern Wilderness, they indeed had no power to stop it.


    That is to say, they were faced with only two choices.


    Become the common lord of the world, or submit to him!


    ¡°Dare I ask the Immortal Master, how much longer do I have to live?¡±


    After a long silence, the aged King Han posed a third question to Jiang Zongheng.


    ¡°At most ten years!¡±


    Hearing this, the three princes exchanged glances¨Cthe eldest was troubled, the second was thrilled, and the third, more calculating, remained composed.


    ¡°Ten years, huh? Without intervention from cultivators, ten years should be enough to unite the Eastern Wilderness, right?¡±


    King Han uttered a statement that made Jiang Zongheng¡¯s eyes shine with interest, and he took a closer look at the wise king before him¨Cwith a slightly stooped figure, an aged face, and an indifferent gaze, sitting upon the sickbed.


    ¡°Here are three volumes of decrees, within are the rules I have set. In the unification wars among the seven nations within the Divine Wood Sect domain, if you find any cultivator interfering, you may activate the Heavenly Talisman to inform me.¡±


    ¡°Regardless of who interferes, I will take action to suppress them.¡±


    ¡°No matter who unites the seven nations, I will descend from the mountain to assist, willing to take the position of Grand Tutor to support them in becoming the common lord of the Eastern Wilderness and to eradicate the remaining twelve nations.¡±


    After saying these three sentences, Jiang Zongheng bid farewell to King Han on the sickbed.


    ¡°Grand Tutor Jiang, go slowly!¡±


    King Han, with the support of his eldest son, personally came to the doorway of the hall to see off Jiang Zongheng until he disappeared into the sky.


    Eldest Prince: ¡°Father, to unite the Eastern Wilderness in ten years¨Chow difficult that is.¡±

    Third Prince: ¡°Indeed, even though Jian Country is the strongest, there are still eighteen other nations in the Eastern Wilderness. Even with the support of Shenmu Immortal Sect, it would be impossible to eradicate them all within ten years!¡±


    Second Prince: ¡°What¡¯s so difficult about that? Just eradicate two nations a year!¡±


    After Jiang Zongheng left, the three sons of King Han expressed their opinions. After allowing them to finish, King Han looked towards the Giant Tree Ridge, where the Divine Wood Sect resided.


    Then, with a profound look in his eyes, he said, ¡°The key to unifying the Eastern Wilderness lies in whether our Jian Country can eradicate the other six nations under the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s command. Once we emerge as the final victor, Grand Tutor Jiang will naturally lead the grand army of the Divine Wood Sect to accomplish the task of eradicating the remaining twelve nations for us!¡±


    After these words were spoken, all three princes¡¯ eyes lit up with excitement!

 Chapter 1242 - Chapter 1242 Chapter 682 Grand Spells Origin Field Nourishing

    Chapter 1242: Chapter 682: Grand Spells: Origin Field Nourishing Fertility Chapter 1242: Chapter 682: Grand Spells: Origin Field Nourishing Fertility The year was 6520 in the Primordial Era.


    Jian Country¡¯s five armies, totaling a hundred thousand soldiers led by the second prince, invaded Yun Country.


    The royal family of Yun Country mobilized an army to resist, but after three defeats in a row, within less than a year, the majority of their territory had fallen.


    As Yun Country was on the brink of being completely conquered by Jian Country, a group of cultivators suddenly appeared before the Jian army, wielding Array Flags and casting the Sky-covering Mysterious Fog.


    The Jian army couldn¡¯t find a way out of the range of this fog; seeing their supplies running low, the second prince had no choice but to resort to his last strategy and ordered the construction of an altar.


    The ones deploying the fog were from a sect called The Green Pine Sect. The entire sect consisted of only twenty-two cultivators, who had taken action because the Great Elder owed the royal family a favor and thus had agreed to help.


    In the eyes of The Green Pine Sect, it was an easy task to block a mundane army with their entire sect taking action.


    And indeed, it was proved to be so.


    Once the Green Pine Wind and Cloud Array was set up, the Jian army was trapped within the fog like headless flies.


    However, the Great Elder of The Green Pine Sect was somewhat prudent, aware that Jian Country might have ties with the Divine Wood Sect of their main camp. Therefore, they only contained and didn¡¯t kill, hoping the second prince would take the hint and retreat.


    Then, the Great Elder saw the second prince setting up an altar, holding a Spirit Talisman above his head and bowing to the heavens before shouting at the top of his lungs.


    ¡°The Shenmu Immortal Sect decrees: cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness, do not interfere with the mortal unification. I urge the venerable immortals opposite to immediately withdraw your Immortal Laws. Otherwise, as soon as I ignite this Spirit Talisman, celestial immortals from the Immortal Sect will descend to personally execute you all!¡±


    The second prince, also an Innate Martial Artist, shouted this proclamation, which was clearly heard by the cultivators of The Green Pine Sect across the way.


    The reputation of the Divine Wood Sect was known throughout the Eastern Desolation.


    Thus, the disciples of The Green Pine Sect turned their gazes toward the ninth-layer Qi Cultivation Great Elder.


    At that moment, the Great Elder was internally cursing the Yun royal family.


    Without any hesitation, he was the first to retract his Magic Artifact and said one word to his disciples: ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Consequently, the second prince saw the massive fog that had trapped his people for three days and nights slowly begin to dissipate after his words were spoken until the sky was clear.


    Was this the prestige of the Shenmu Immortal Sect?


    Witnessing this scene, the second prince¡¯s heart surged with excitement.


    At the same time, his determination to unify the Eastern Desolation solidified even further.


    After The Green Pine Sect retreated, the royal family of Yun Country had no more strength to resist, and in just one year¡¯s time, Jian Country had completely conquered Yun Country.


    The year was 6521 in the Primordial Era.


    After resting and reorganizing post-conquest of Yun Country, Jian Country¡¯s army, led by the valiant second prince, once again marched against Rain Country.


    The battle was even quicker, for the news of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s endeavor to unify had spread throughout the Cultivation World. Even the occasional rogue cultivator was dealt with by local cultivator families within Rain Country.


    In less than half a year, the royal family of Rain Country opened their gates to surrender.


    At the same time, Zhao Zheng of Rock Country personally led his army and, after two years of arduous struggle, secured Sky Country.


    The people of the Eastern Desolation Plateau were fierce, and with Rock Country¡¯s strength nowhere near as robust as Jian Country¡¯s, securing Sky Country, which was of similar size, was an effort that nearly exhausted the entire nation¡¯s resources.


    If this trend continued, King Zhao faced the overwhelming forces of Jian Country; before he could even assimilate Sky Country, his capital could be flattened without a fight.


    However, as the Jian army marched northward, they were stopped by a formidable wall.


    Lei Nation straddled the plains and highlands; if Jian Country wished to unify the seven Divine Wood nations to the north, they had to capture Lei Nation.


    And Lei Nation¡¯s King Sheng was a saintly monarch with the Way; in the face of a weak national strength, he fully trusted Great General Duan Shuyu, entrusting him with the country¡¯s thirty thousand elite troops and personally economizing to ensure the logistics.


    Duan Shuyu did not disappoint King Sheng.


    With thirty thousand troops on the border¡¯s formidable city, he capitalized on the plateau¡¯s advantages to prevent Jian Country¡¯s hundred thousand troops from advancing a single step.


    The Jian army, led by the second prince, was stalled here for three full years, making no progress.


    Whereas Zhao Zheng from the rear seized this opportunity, not only did he support Lei Nation, but he also took the opportunity to conquer Rainbow Country.


    As for these matters, Chen Mobai largely delegated them to Jiang Zongheng to deal with.


    Over these five years, apart from personally receiving Golden Core Cultivators from the Star Heaven Dao Sect who came to sow, he spent most of his time cultivating at the Fourth-Order Fire Vein in Danxia Mountain.


    As time passed, both his Cultivation Level and Techniques had improved.


    During this period, his innate Body of Eight Yangs had its first transformation two years ago.


    [Gold 23, Wood 43, Water 33, Fire 93, Earth 52]!


    With the Fire Spirit Root enhanced, his Earth Spirit Root also gained 7 points thanks to consuming two Earth Veins Elixirs again.


    He naturally did not forget to visit the Divine Tree Secret Realm for these three transformations of the Spiritual Roots.

    He acquired Gold Escape, Wood Escape, and a Grand Spell called ¡°Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.¡±


    This Grand Spell required the Spiritual Power of the Earth Immortality Scripture to be executed and was a particular technique of the Longevity Sect for cultivating Everlife Soil.


    When Chen Mobai obtained this Grand Spell, it coincided with the visit of a Golden Core Cultivator from the Star Heaven Dao Sect to instruct on the sowing of Dari Purple Rice; he emerged from seclusion to greet them and also to inquire from Elder Ming about the ¡°Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.¡±


    It turned out that in ancient times, the Longevity Sect¡¯s influence had reached every corner of the Eastern Region.


    And at every headquarters of the Longevity Sect, they had to plant Divine Wood. After the Divine Wood forested, they also had to cultivate a Rank-4 Everlife Wood, and only then could they set up the Everlasting Large Formation. In such an environment where demonic beasts roamed and calamities were frequent, it protected the disciples of the sect.

 Chapter 1243 - Chapter 1243 Chapter 682 Grand Spells Origin Field Nourishing

    Chapter 1243: Chapter 682: Grand Spells: Origin Field Nourishing Fertility_2 Chapter 1243: Chapter 682: Grand Spells: Origin Field Nourishing Fertility_2 Fourth Grade Everlife Wood required a sufficient amount of Everlife Soil to advance, and it was also the Destiny Spirit Plant for practitioners of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, extremely important.


    And the source of this Everlife Soil was the fertile fields spanning thousands of miles where the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s true body resided, rich and lush with vitality.


    However, all of this Everlife Soil was needed to nourish the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s true body. Taking a little bit might be acceptable, but if too much were removed, the Heavenly Sovereign would definitely not be pleased.


    Therefore, the technique of ¡°Origin Field Nourishing Fertility¡± was created.


    It meant that all kinds of different soils from across the world, after being cultivated with this Grand Spell, would possess the properties of Everlife Soil, nurturing the advancement of Spirit Wood.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed and immediately wanted to practice with Zhuo Ming, his precious disciple, to master Origin Field Nourishing Fertility. Then they would proceed to the Divine Tree Secret Realm and use the Great Dao Tree¡¯s empowerment to reach the fourth-level grade.


    As long as he had a constant supply of Everlife Soil, and with the help of the Grand Spell Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, he could attempt to turn those Golden Sun Spirit Trees of the Divine Wood Sect into supporters.


    With Zhuo Ming and him, a cultivator with auspicious blessings, at the Giant Tree Ridge, out of the five Third Rank Peak Golden Sun Spirit Trees, Chen Mobai estimated that at least three could be advanced to become Everlife Wood.


    However, Fourth Grade Spirit Wood required a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein to survive and grow. If there truly were three of them, Chen Mobai planned to plant one in Northern Abyss City to suppress the newly risen Fourth Grade Spirit Vein there.


    One would be planted in Liu Jia Mountain, where the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein had been weakening ever since Chen Mobai took the Mountain Suppression Stone.


    Later, they even brought over Fourth Grade Rushing Void Immortal Ganoderma from Giant Tree Ridge, and the disciples of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division worked day and night deploying Array Gathering Spirit Calming Spirit formations to barely maintain the quality of the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein.


    So, if they really opened up a Third Grade Spirit Field to plant Dari Purple Rice, it might still be beneficial for the Divine Wood Sect. By dispersing this Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, the disciples from the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division of Liu Jia Mountain could be relieved of duty.


    But if a Fourth Grade Everlife Wood were to be established, it would be a solution once and for all.


    The Divine Wood Sect also had a Tianpeng Mountain Sub-courtyard with a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein. However, the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple there was nearly dead, and most of the Spirit Vein was dispersed and turned into Third Grade medicinal fields.


    Only the mountaintop, where the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple was located, still barely maintained the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein.


    If he could turn the third Everlife Wood, Chen Mobai intended to replace the nearly dead Five-Cornered Ancient Maple. Besides preserving the rare Fourth Grade Spirit Vein Sub-courtyard, he also considered experimenting with this Spirit Plant in the future.


    After all, this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple was a rare one with Fire Attribute greater than Wood and Earth Attributes. If he could someday revive it, and if the Immortal Gate announced the Blooming Moment Technique, he might be able to use this Spirit Plant to comprehend the Divinity Transformation Realm.


    Even if it were truly beyond saving, Chen Mobai could still use his own empowerment with the Fourth Grade Kindwood Mantra to turn the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple into a seed and replant it.


    After all, he had just reached Core Formation and was still far from Divinity Transformation.


    With Zhuo Ming, his precious disciple, there, even if they were to replant, with the original foundation, cultivating to Fourth Grade Superior Quality might just take a few hundred years.


    So Chen Mobai was simply thrilled after starting this Origin Field Nourishing Fertility technique.


    After communicating with Elder Ming, he immediately wanted to put down the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Star Heaven Dao Sect and rush back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Luckily, Elder Ming saw his excitement and immediately mentioned the most crucial point of this Grand Spell.


    That was, it needed a handful of true Everlife Soil.


    It had to be buried in the soil to be cultivated, and then, the cultivator practicing Origin Field Nourishing Fertility, using the true Everlife Soil as the source, would gradually improve the surrounding soil, transforming it into Everlife Soil with the same properties.


    But this Everlife Soil, cultivated by the Grand Spell, could not be used as soil seed.


    After the Heavenly Sovereign and the entire Longevity Sect vanished, Elder Ming did not know if there was still any real Everlife Soil left in the Tianhe Realm that once nourished the Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s true body!


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he immediately remembered the items that Zhuo Ming had acquired from the Magic Treasure Tree after her Foundation Establishment.


    It was precisely a handful of Everlife Soil.


    If the Longevity Sect had seriously placed it within the Magic Treasure Tree, Chen Mobai guessed that must be it!


    Upon realization, he couldn¡¯t help but regret that he¡¯d let Fu Zongjue take away that handful of Everlife Soil to refine Earth Wood Crystal Sand long ago; there might still be a bit left, but it definitely wouldn¡¯t be enough to serve as seed soil.


    Why didn¡¯t he realize the true use of this Everlife Soil at the time!


    But after his regret, Chen Mobai immediately reacted.


    If Zhuo Ming could produce it, it meant that there was true Everlife Soil within the Magic Treasure Tree, and if other Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Sect tried, surely with enough attempts, they could obtain it as well.


    Moreover, at that time, just a few years after the ten-yearly Sect competition had ended, with the abundant supply of Foundation Building Pills from the Divine Wood Sect, eight new Foundation Establishment Practitioners had been added.


    ¡°Unfortunately, out of the eight, only five had succeeded in Foundation Establishment on their first attempt.¡±


    ¡°And among those five, only one was practicing Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, named Xiong Chuanfeng.¡±


    ¡°But thanks to the auspicious blessing of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, Chen Mobai just had good luck.¡±


    ¡°This only one had precisely produced the Everlife Soil he needed.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai did not leave him unrewarded, he directly credited him with one hundred thousand Sect Contribution points.¡±


    ¡°The handful of Everlife Soil Xiong Chuanfeng brought out from the Divine Tree Secret Realm was directly buried by Chen Mobai at Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    ¡°He considered burying it in Northern Abyss City.¡±


    ¡°But Chen Mobai¡¯s main focus was certainly on cultivation; having him constantly watch over the soil changes would be putting the cart before the horse.¡±


    ¡°Over at Liu Jia Mountain, with Zhuo Ming there, he could rest easy.¡±


    ¡°This treasured disciple had an extraordinary quick understanding of Earth Attribute Spells.¡±


    ¡°After cultivating together, Zhuo Ming understood the Origin Field Nourishing Fertility Technique just two days slower than Chen Mobai.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, because this Origin Field Nourishing Fertility aligned with the essence of the Mother Earth Cultivation, Zhuo Ming quickly brought it to the Third Rank with the Mother Qi of All Things.¡±


    ¡°And this Grand Spell only needed a Fourth Rank level at the very beginning, when burying a seed of actual Everlife Soil.¡±


    ¡°For the subsequent cultivation and maintenance, Zhuo Ming had no troubles at all.¡±


    ¡°If in the future, the soil around Liu Jia Mountain could all be improved to the Fourth Rank Everlife Soil, it would be hugely beneficial for planting Dari Purple Rice.¡±


    ¡°The only drawback was that upgrading to Everlife Soil required a massive infusion of Earth¡¯s Qi.¡±


    ¡°If they truly started promoting it openly, the desert oasis surrounding Liu Jia Mountain might just turn into a sky full of sand and dust.¡±


    ¡°For this very reason, there was even more need for Zhuo Ming to control the technique of the Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai planned to first test it out at Liu Jia Mountain, and once he confirmed there were no issues, then he would prepare to improve the soil on the Northern Abyss City side.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, there was the biggest problem: there was no more Everlife Soil.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai also had a solution to this, to lift the restriction, allowing other sect cultivators who did not succeed on their first intake of the Foundation Building Pill to also enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    ¡°He had conducted several surveys on this matter, with both support and opposition.¡±


    ¡°Those in favor were naturally those who had established their foundations but had not entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    ¡°And the opposition came from those who had already entered.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai had also asked Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, but both took no stand, saying the Sect Leader Junior Brother could decide for himself, as they had no objections!¡±


    ¡°Opening up the Divine Tree Secret Realm could enhance the strength of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, but it also risked exhausting treasures reserved for future generations prematurely.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai was hesitant as well, given that the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the threat originally anticipated, was now somewhat preoccupied with its own issues, making it unnecessary to rush in strengthening the sect¡¯s power.¡±


    ¡°But after casting the technique ¡®Origin Field Nourishing Fertility,¡¯ he felt it was time to gradually advance this new policy.¡±


    ¡°It needed to be carefully packaged, however, to make the opposition also feel it was acceptable.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°To this end, Chen Mobai proposed that within the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment, if one was willing to go to Rainbow Country and control sandstorms for ten years without compensation, they could then gain the chance to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    ¡°However, any Spiritual Objects or Cultivation Techniques obtained within the Secret Realm must be reported to the sect upon exiting.¡±


    ¡°If the Spiritual Objects were useful to the sect, they would be turned over to the sect, but compensation in the form of contributions or Spirit Stones would be offered.¡±


    ¡°After consulting with Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai listed out an inventory.¡±


    ¡°They listed the compensation prices for various Spiritual Objects produced by Magic Treasure Trees, such as Longevity Tree Sap, Everlife Soil, Green-sun Fire, Longevity Tree Fruit, and Azure Wood Spirit Core.¡±

 Chapter 1244 - Chapter 1244 Chapter 683 Golden Core Fifth Layer (19200

    Chapter 1244: Chapter 683: Golden Core Fifth Layer (19200 Monthly Votes Bonus) Chapter 1244: Chapter 683: Golden Core Fifth Layer (19200 Monthly Votes Bonus) Apart from the contribution value associated with various spiritual objects, there was also the value of cultivation techniques.


    However, the value of this aspect would need to be determined by the Transmission Department after a detailed appraisal.


    Moreover, if the cultivation technique obtained from the Talent Tree had already been developed by someone else, and submitted to the sect in exchange for contribution points, then naturally it would have no value at all.


    When this new policy was announced, all Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had obtained secret techniques from the Talent Tree became anxious to contact the Transmission Department.


    Because, according to the rules of the Divine Wood Sect, these were personal gains that one could keep for oneself.


    As for this batch of Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were able to go in because of the new policy, most of them would surely choose to surrender their gains in exchange for contribution points or Spirit Stones.


    After all, they were required to treat the deserts of the Rainbow Country pro bono for ten years, and it was certain that they would be short on various cultivation materials, so they would try by all means to save some Spirit Stones before going.


    It was for this reason that the Divine Wood Sect suddenly had thirteen new Longevity Sect secret techniques.


    Among them, three were specifically helpful for spirit planting¨Cenhancing affinity with spirit plants, detecting the moisture in spirit plants, and aiding spirit plants in flowering and bearing fruit.


    After receiving these, the Transmission Department set a contribution value for each spell that the sect did not have, used this as a reward, and then submitted it to Chen Mobai for approval.


    Chen Mobai raised the contribution reward for the three techniques that were helpful for spirit planting, setting a reference for future exchanges, guiding a positive trend within the sect for farming.


    After dealing with these preliminary tasks, Chen Mobai then reviewed the list of Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had applied to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm within the sect.


    Due to the addition of the condition of ten years of sand treatment without compensation, the response was not as enthusiastic as it was during the survey.


    But this was just perfect to cool things down!


    Because there was the example of Chen Mobai who had attained Longevity Sect legacy in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were driven to achieve Core Formation, or those of older age, mostly wanted to take a chance in the Secret Realm.


    Conversely, those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were neither here nor there, after weighing the options, felt it was not worth giving up ten years of precious time.


    Chen Mobai looked at the list; there were a total of twenty-six Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the first batch.


    He felt that was too many, and was inclined to remove some.


    But after thinking it through, these people had been accumulated by the Divine Wood Sect over nearly a hundred years. He might as well not play the villain and let them all in at once, which would save trouble.


    After Chen Mobai gave his approval, the Transmission Department immediately acted on it.


    The results came out quickly.


    Naturally, what made Chen Mobai elated was that they had unearthed two portions of Everlife Soil, which he had designated as a strategic resource on the list. Once Sect Disciples discovered it, they must hand it over to the sect.


    But no matter who it was, facing a price of one hundred thousand contribution points, no one would refuse.


    After all, Foundation Establishment Practitioners would earn only three to four thousand Spirit Stones a year from taking on tasks for the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. This clutch of Everlife Soil was worth one hundred thousand, a deal they would gladly take even for twenty years of desert treatment.


    Other items, such as Biyu Wutong Heart and Green-sun Fire, etc., did not have a mandatory exchange requirement.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners could keep them if they needed, or if someone offered a higher value than the sect¡¯s contribution points, they could also sell to others.


    After all, this was what they had exchanged for ten years of their time.


    However, some people did manage to discover Longevity Tree Fruits, and quite a few at that, four in total.


    Two medium fruits, two small fruits.


    Taking Yue Zutao¡¯s precedent into account, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners who discovered Longevity Tree Fruits chose to exchange them for contribution points with the sect, and not a single one kept any.


    And for Chen Mobai, this was of course good news.


    Because he could easily obtain large fruits using the Wood Spiritual Talisman.


    Along with these, he now had two complete sets of Longevity Tree Fruits, enough to cultivate two Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners with the Longevity Scripture.


    However, there wasn¡¯t such great external pressure on the Divine Wood Sect at the moment, so according to Chen Mobai¡¯s signals, Yue Zutao sealed and stored away these Longevity Tree Fruits with a secret technique.


    For this matter, Chen Mobai even made a special trip back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After finishing, he made a copy of those useful cultivation techniques and secret techniques for spirit planting and then called over Liu Wenbo. Together with the two portions of Everlife Soil, he sent them to Zhuo Ming, who was far away in the Rainbow Country.


    After completing these tasks, Chen Mobai summoned Jiang Zongheng to inquire about the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, learning that Rock Country had taken down Rainbow Country, and the army of Jian Country was still stubbornly blocked on the plateau by Lei Nation.


    However, according to Jiang Zongheng¡¯s estimates, the balance would be broken within a year, and the Divine Wood Sect would soon face the final grand battle for unification.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite interested, and he wanted to see who would come out on top!


    But at this moment, he felt signs of a breakthrough in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power!


    Certainly, his Cultivation Realm was the most important. Chen Mobai had to entrust everything to Jiang Zongheng and then returned to the Immortal Gate to enter seclusion.


    At the Top of Danxia Mountain, beneath the sky-covering Biyu Wutong, astonishing nature¡¯s spiritual energy continuously converged and rushed over.


    In the sky, clouds were dense, and faint traces of lightning could be seen.


    If this were in the Tianhe Realm, cultivators would probably revere such celestial phenomena.


    But on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, it was well understood that this was a phenomenon caused by a cultivator rapidly absorbing spiritual energy during a breakthrough, leading to a pressure gradient in the concentration of spiritual energy.


    ¡°Councilor Chen last broke through seven years ago, didn¡¯t he? He has made progress again so quickly¡­¡±


    ¡°This is a sign of Qualification for Deification¡­¡±


    ¡°Perhaps in my lifetime, I might see the emergence of the first Nascent Soul Superior in Red Sandstone City¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide the phenomena accompanying his breakthrough; after all, he needed to occasionally maintain his persona in the Immortal Gate. Thus, the Foundation Establishment teachers living halfway up the mountain were aware of it.


    After reaching the middle stage of the Gold Core, each subsequent breakthrough in cultivation required more time than in the initial stage.


    The breakthrough in seven years was still due to Chen Mobai¡¯s external conditions being optimized and the enhancement from the Golden Crow Dawning Sun Elixir.


    Otherwise, based on his estimate, it would have taken ten years to achieve the current progress.


    After confirming that his Pure Yang Spiritual Power had been thoroughly purified by the Flame Lighting Technique, and the Dan Poison had all been cleared, Chen Mobai hesitated no more and began circulating the fifth layer¡¯s heart method of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    In an instant, the already surging nature¡¯s spiritual energy became even richer. Beneath the Phoenix Tree Spirit Tree at the mountaintop, a pure and clear Spiritual Light faintly shone through the leaves, responding to the dark clouds and lightning above, dazzling to the eyes.


    This spectacle lasted for a full seven days and nights.


    Afterwards, the fluctuations of spiritual energy at the top of Danxia Mountain began to subside, clouds dispersed, and a light rain fell, washing away the overflowing heat from the breakthrough of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After the rain stopped, Chen Mobai, inhaling the fresh scent of grass and earth, felt light and comfortable all over.


    This time for his breakthrough, he hadn¡¯t consumed any Elixirs, simply holding two Top-grade Spirit Stones, and naturally succeeded.


    This made Chen Mobai quite delighted since the materials prepared to assist in the breakthrough were extremely precious, and even with his status and position, it would be difficult to find more.


    Not having used them this time meant he could be confident in his next breakthrough.


    Feeling good, Chen Mobai activated the Echoes in the Void again to listen to the Phoenix Tree beside him.


    This time he heard much more.


    Alas, even though the tree was of Fourth Grade Superior, its consciousness was similar to that of a child: apart from rooted images at the mountain¡¯s peak, feeding on the Red Sandstone mist and dew, and regulating the Fire Vein, the scenes it interacted with Shi Qing.


    In its mind, Shi Qing was like its elder sister, guiding its growth and awakening its enlightenment.


    Gradually, Chen Mobai heard traces of the Technique Shi Qing had taught to the Biyu Wutong.


    This must be the Blooming Moment.


    Chen Mobai immediately memorized it all.


    Regrettably, his cultivation level was still insufficient, and the power of the Biyu Wutong, being of Fourth Grade Superior, was too overwhelming for him to perceive some of the Technique traces etched in the deepest parts of its trunk.


    To this, Chen Mobai felt only a slight regret, because if he were to use Blooming Moment, he would need to be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm. For him, who had just broken through to the Golden Core Fifth Layer, it was still too early.


    Anyway, the Biyu Wutong was right beside him. As long as he continued to improve systematically within the Immortal Gate, it would one day belong to him.


    With such thoughts, Chen Mobai ceased the Echoes in the Void.


    It took him another three days to recover his depleted Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. Once he confirmed his realm was completely stable, he left the mountain with a smile.


    Although others within the Immortal Gate had grown numb to his unimpeded progress, after each breakthrough, Chen Mobai habitually shared the news with Yan Bingxuan.


    Little did he know, Yan Bingxuan also had joyous news to share with him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve broken through to the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was also very happy.


    The two were schoolmates; in the year Chen Mobai was about to graduate, Yan Bingxuan succeeded with her Foundation Establishment. It had been 38 years since then.


    While she could not compare to the geniuses of the Four Great Daoist Sects, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s foundation was very solid.


    After all, she had also devoted some of her energy to improving her Ice Spirit Root.


    From high school to now, her Ice Spirit Root had reached 72 points.


    According to this pace, by the time her Foundation Establishment reached Completion, it would definitely be over 80 points, which could increase her chances of successful Core Formation.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s usually cool demeanor revealed a rare soft and delicate expression, her beautiful eyes and brows instantaneously tender and lovely.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally a little closer to you.¡±


    This sentence made Chen Mobai, who was about to share his own breakthrough, fall silent for a moment. However, he soon raised his cup with a smile and clinked it with Yan Bingxuan¡¯s, diverting the subject.


    ¡°I heard the Mysterious Frost Company made tens of millions in Good Deed Points in profit this year.¡±


    ¡°Yes, and it¡¯s largely thanks to your Spirit Stones that we could maximize the effectiveness of those Essence Puppets, landing more orders for Killing Qi Essence Liquid¡­¡±


    As they spoke of this, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s face lit up with joy, and she began to narrate to Chen Mobai about the company¡¯s development over the years.


    In that time, the three academies, following his advice and support, had started to develop the previously neglected Yuanqi system.


    Because graduates were guaranteed employment with decent compensation, many students from Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City, especially female students who planned to marry and have children upon graduation, considered the Mysterious Frost Company their top choice for employment.

    The two old friends, rarely opening up in front of others, took the opportunity to relax and share their hearts¡¯ content.


    After spending a lovely night with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai accompanied her the next day to the Mysterious Frost Company.


    Many employees were surprised to see their covert boss visiting.


    ¡°Here, this is what you asked for last time.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan took out a sealed box from her safe and handed it to Chen Mobai. He accepted it with a smile before inspecting the company¡¯s various laboratories with her. Afterward, he took his leave.

 Chapter 1245 - Chapter 1245 Chapter 684 Water of Ten Thousand

    Chapter 1245: Chapter 684: Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter Chapter 1245: Chapter 684: Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter Chen Mobai, who had returned to Danxia Mountain from the Mysterious Frost Company, had not yet opened the box when he received a call from a friend.


    It was Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Initially, when Chen Mobai answered, he was somewhat indifferent because this friend often contacted him to discuss leisurely things such as tea drinking and tea cultivation.


    But as they talked, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became happier, as if he had heard some grand good news.


    Wen Ren Xuewei said, ¡°The internal meeting I chaired at the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory has ended, and the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations you requested will be listed next month. Just after midnight, you can use your Rank-3 user privileges to reserve it in advance.¡±


    The Empty Green Pharmacy Factory is a pharmacy under the jurisdiction of Jumang Academy, and they hold meetings every month to discuss the elixirs and spiritual waters that will be listed.


    Many of these are Rank-2 and Rank-3 stocks.


    But there are also some exchanged favors among them.


    For example, the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations that Chen Mobai needed!


    He had been coveting it for a long time.


    But it was not just him¨Cpowers related to the entire Immortal Gate and the spiritual plant industry were also eyeing it.


    The Water of Ten Thousand Transformations from Jumang Academy, although monopolized by Peach Blossom Sage, did not dare to keep it all to herself. She still distributed one bottle each year as a show of goodwill.


    The Water of Ten Thousand Transformations is considered one of the highest grades of spiritual water in Immortal Gate, so it is only listed after someone communicates with the Jumang Academy side.


    It was impossible for outsiders to snatch it.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s background and the help of inside personnel like Wen Ren Xuewei, he had waited in line for six years to get this opportunity.


    ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you. Next time you are free to come to Red Sandstone City, I¡¯ll treat you to tea.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely thanked Wen Ren Xuewei; without her communicating with Jumang Academy and the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory, he would not have had the chance to reserve that Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    After finishing the call, Chen Mobai checked his account balance.


    A bottle of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was priced at two hundred million Good Deed Points.


    Fortunately, he was a low-desire, low-spending person within Immortal Gate. Most of the Good Deed Points earned by the three companies he owned were saved, so his balance was sufficient.


    The Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was too important, relating to his ability to break through to the late Gold Core stage quickly, so Chen Mobai set aside all other matters and focused on waiting for midnight.


    Right after midnight, he, already holding his phone, completed the reservation and payment.


    A customer service representative soon sent him a message to confirm the delivery address.


    After going through the series of procedures, Chen Mobai, looking at the ¡°Awaiting Shipment¡± notice, couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Having sorted out the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Chen Mobai finally had time to open the box he had received from Yan Bingxuan.


    Inside was a set of very sophisticated magic artifact equipment, named ¡°Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter.¡±


    It was a device used within Immortal Gate specifically to assist Divine Sense in performing various ultra-fine operations.


    Chen Mobai needed this device naturally to modify those three supreme-grade Spirit Stones so that they could absorb spiritual energy for charging.


    In Immortal Gate, the key to charging Spirit Stones lay in using Divine Sense as a blade to carve and set up a spirit-absorbing and storage formation group inside the Spirit Stones.


    This formation group was vast and intricate, requiring the remarkable skill to construct absorption, purification, fusion, storage, recirculation, output, and discharge of spiritual energy, among other formations, within a fist-sized Spirit Stone core.


    Persons capable of constructing these formation structures usually possessed a special talent in the aspect of Divine Sense.


    These people were inherently more precise and detailed in their command of Divine Sense than ordinary people.


    Even so, completing this structure inside a Spirit Stone was extremely difficult.


    Therefore, Immortal Gate developed this ¡°Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter.¡±


    This magic artifact device was able to scale a cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense by a hundred times, enabling ordinary Foundation Establishment practitioners, if they had a talent in Divine Sense and underwent special training, to use the device to complete the formation structure inside the Spirit Stone core.


    Around this, Immortal Gate also developed a profession called ¡°Photolithography Master!¡±


    And the most famous for mastering this technology and training Photolithography Masters was naturally the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Generally speaking, nine out of ten of Immortal Gate¡¯s high-precision techniques were developed by Patching Heaven.


    This Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter was mainly used on Core Chips. Since Spirit Stones were considerably larger than Core Chips, they did not require the most top-end devices.


    The set Chen Mobai had was considered obsolete after going through updates at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    It was already from two generations ago.


    However, it was precisely for this reason that it had fallen into his hands.


    This Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter had a precision of 20 nanometers, which was far behind for use in chip manufacturing.


    But for use on Spirit Stones, it was just right.

    Chen Mobai bought this device because, from the last time, one of the Spirit Stones that was purified by the Void Blind Box had developed a charging and storage issue.


    This was quite common, as the more precise something was, the more likely it was to have errors. With so many formations constructed by the Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter inside the Spirit Stone, there were bound to be some issues after long usage.


    Normally in such a case, it would be sent back to the factory for repair, but the price was steep and there was no guarantee it could be fixed.


    The piece from the Mysterious Frost Company was sent back but wasn¡¯t repaired.


    According to the rules on the Immortal Gate side, they needed to apply for it to be written off, which also helped recover some losses.

 Chapter 1246 - Chapter 1246 Chapter 684 Water of Ten Thousand

    Chapter 1246: Chapter 684: Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter_2 Chapter 1246: Chapter 684: Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter_2 Because spirit stone fragments are spiritual extracts, their prices have always been high on the Immortal Gate alchemy market.


    However, Chen Mobai stopped Yan Bingxuan from writing off this spirit stone as scrap, deciding instead to repair it himself.


    He was a Golden Core Master, naturally his control over divine sense was a whole level above that of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, even without a Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter, he could still barely construct a formation within the spirit stone.


    If he were willing to learn the relevant content, he would certainly be more outstanding than an ordinary photoengraver.


    After all, the formations for charging spirit stones were very simple and basic; the difficulty lay in their structure and hands-on ability.


    Chen Mobai used the excuse that every spirit stone was precious wealth of the Mysterious Frost Company and should not be scrapped lightly. He decided to punch above his weight by learning photoengraving as a Golden Core Master.


    Yan Bingxuan had always listened to him, and promptly went to the partner manufacturers to purchase a Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter after receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions.


    After several rounds of tough negotiations, she finally obtained the set.


    Supreme-grade spirit stones were a matter of great importance, so Chen Mobai directly took out his hidden reserve¡­ Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea!


    The last time he brewed this tea was to entertain Elder Yuanxu.


    He carefully counted the leaves, and after ensuring there were enough, Chen Mobai boiled water.


    One month later.


    Chen Mobai held three supreme-grade spirit stones floating in his palm, inserting them one by one into the charging sockets of a specially made charger for tuning.


    Scattered around on the ground were dozens of superior-grade spirit stone fragments, leftovers from his past experiments, which served perfectly for practice.


    Only after confirming his proficiency, did he apply his skills to these three supreme-grade spirit stones.


    After trying and confirming their ability to charge, Chen Mobai immediately disconnected them.


    After all, the rate at which supreme-grade spirit stones absorbed spiritual energy was too rapid; he couldn¡¯t risk letting them absorb freely.


    Having modified the three supreme-grade spirit stones, Chen Mobai placed them in his domain, and then picked up the spirit stone, which should have been scrapped for an excuse, and that he himself had used.


    Consulting the manual¡¯s formation diagram, he effortlessly identified three power storage pathways within the broken formation that had been disrupted.


    It indeed couldn¡¯t be fixed by a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    But Chen Mobai leveraged the stronger and finer divine sense of a Golden Core Master, along with the Divine Consciousness Laser Cutter, to rejoin these broken circuits and complete the repair.


    ¡°From now on, if there¡¯s any problem with the spirit stones, just come to me. I¡¯m now the expert!¡±


    Over the phone, Chen Mobai told Yan Bingxuan about fixing the spirit stone, exuding confidence and excellence in front of his good friend.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, it will save the company a substantial amount on costs.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was also exceptionally pleased to hear this.


    Even if there were no issues, after every three hundred charges and discharges, the charged spirit stones had to be maintained, and that was an expense as well.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt like he had shot himself in the foot.


    How many Good Deed Points did maintenance even earn!


    Wasn¡¯t this a waste of his precious time!


    But since he had said it himself, he could only reluctantly nod and smile in agreement.


    Waiting another two days, after signing for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yue Zutao immediately came over when he heard about his exit from seclusion. When Chen Mobai saw him follow Gu Yan in, looking radiant, he couldn¡¯t help being surprised.


    ¡°You¡¯ve reached Foundation Establishment Completion?¡±


    Observing with the Art of Spiritual Eyes, Chen Mobai noticed Yue Zutao¡¯s rejuvenated appearance and smooth aura, and immediately guessed the reason.


    ¡°Thanks to the Sect Leader¡¯s great fortune, I exchanged two Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits, and after refining and absorbing them, I¡¯ve recovered my realm.¡±


    Yue Zutao had previously taken a full set of Everlife Tree Fruits; his Dantian Qi Sea was already explored and just needed to continue enhancing his spiritual power.


    So, refining the Immortal Peach Fruit was even more suitable for him than for Xie Yuntian and the others since his bottleneck had long been broken.


    And as Chen Mobai¡¯s direct disciple, who had been diligent and hardworking for so many years, accumulating merits and toils, he was given two Immortal Peach Fruits by Chen Mobai, when other Foundation Establishment Practitioners could only exchange one.


    The method was also simple; Chen Mobai manipulated things so his Eldest Disciple Liu Wenbo exchanged one of the yearly Immortal Peach Fruits, but since Liu Wenbo had already taken them, he directly transferred it to Yue Zutao after receiving it.


    Through this affair, Liu Wenbo and Yue Zutao had become increasingly close, and were now almost best friends.


    Speaking of which, the Immortal Peach Tree that had been transplanted from Black Cloud Mountain had already helped the Divine Wood Sect gain five cultivators with Foundation Establishment Completion.


    The others, like E Yun, King Zhou, Shen, Yan Yuanhao, and the rest who received the Immortal Peach Fruit, had all broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase.


    Even Gu Yan, the one with the lowest cultivation level, had smoothly advanced to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage thanks to a peach fruit bestowed upon him by Chen Mobai.


    The Foundation Establishment practitioners around Chen Mobai had almost all improved by one realm with the help of this Immortal Peach Tree.


    By now, the tree had been deemed the number one Spirit Plant of Giant Tree Ridge by most cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, the legendary three Everlife Woods were all occupied by Chen Mobai and the other Nascent Soul Ancestors, and the disciples below hardly ever got to enjoy them.


    However, one could potentially obtain the yearly Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit from the tree through hard work.


    It was also for this reason that even Chen Mobai himself was becoming somewhat expectant.


    For the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit had just started to form as immature little peaches, just waiting to fully ripen.


    This was also thanks to Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Qi of All Things, which provided the Immortal Peach Tree with the most comfortable soil environment for growth.


    Otherwise, the tree would probably just be starting to flower and set fruit, and Chen Mobai would have to wait until he was eighty-two to enjoy the mature Rank-4 fruit.


    But even so, Chen Mobai felt that the peach fruit was growing a bit too slow.


    Therefore, he had asked Wen Ren Xuewei for help and secured some Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    He hoped that with this Immortal Gate¡¯s Spiritual Water, he could significantly shorten the maturation time for the peach fruit.


    ¡°This is also the fruit of your own persistent efforts.¡±


    However, there was no rush for this, and it would be better to wait for Zhuo Ming, his precious disciple, to return before getting started, so Chen Mobai waved his hand to summon Yue Zutao over for tea.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the last batch of herbs has already been delivered to Back to Sky Valley, and Master Yan says he will start brewing the elixir by the end of the year.¡±


    Yue Zutao, familiar with the routine, sat down and brewed the Green Charm Spiritual Tea while reporting the purpose of his visit.


    The elixir that they were pressuring Yan Shaoyin to refine was naturally the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    This matter had been urged by Chen Mobai five years ago, but as expected, Yan Shaoyin had been finding ways to delay.


    The reasons were very legitimate: the main ingredients were difficult to collect and required time.


    He had a batch of Nirvana Dan in process and could not free his hands.


    Although Back to Sky Valley also had other Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators, under the possibility that he might have his own ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± Yan Shaoyin would definitely prioritize making elixirs for himself.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t force him either, so he could only have Liu Wenbo remind him from time to time, and at the same time, had Yue Zutao begin collecting the ingredients needed for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    It wasn¡¯t until last year, when Yan Shaoyin¡¯s batch of Nirvana Dan was sealed, that he finally couldn¡¯t excuse himself any longer.


    Backed by the joint forces of the two major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, although the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill required numerous and diverse ingredients, with their plentiful experience and the channel of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, they quickly collected all the necessary main and auxiliary herbs.


    The last to be delivered to Back to Sky Valley was the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom.


    Such a precious material would only be harvested by the Spirit Plant Department upon the express orders of Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is a letter from Master Yan for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the letter handed over by Yue Zutao and, upon opening it, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    ¡°This old guy finally can¡¯t wait to make the Infant-Feeding Elixir!¡±


    After reading it, Chen Mobai casually placed the letter on the table, and Yue Zutao took a glance, noticing that it was accompanied by a list of ingredients.


    Yue Zutao: ¡°Is Master Yan preparing for his ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Ever since I gave him those three alchemy recipes, I¡¯ve been waiting for this day. Otherwise, based on his cultivation progress, it would likely take him decades to reach Perfect Core Formation.¡±

    Back to Sky Valley in the Eastern Wilderness was the most unique among the major sects.


    With Star Heaven Dao Sect backing it up, even with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ their Divine Wood Sect would hesitate to make a move.


    But in order to unify the Eastern Wilderness, Back to Sky Valley would definitely need to be dealt with.


    With Yan Shaoyin there, backed by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, Back to Sky Valley was certainly not going to willingly submit to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Thus, Chen Mobai could only hasten the process.

 Chapter 1247 - Chapter 1247 Chapter 685 News of the East Barbarians (Extra

    Chapter 1247: Chapter 685: News of the East Barbarians (Extra for 20,000 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1247: Chapter 685: News of the East Barbarians (Extra for 20,000 Monthly Votes) Chen Mobai didn¡¯t underestimate Yan Shaoyin, but for a Golden Core Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness to reach Nascent Soul Formation was near impossible.


    There wasn¡¯t even a one percent chance of success.


    If Zhou Ye, with his Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root, had not utilized his foundation during his Core Formation, he might have had a slightly better chance, but without cultivating into the Chaotic Dao Fruit, the hurdle of Nascent Soul emergence would undoubtedly end in death, not life.


    Moreover, in the Tianhe Realm, there was also the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Furthermore, the Golden Core Cultivators here mostly advanced their realms by consuming elixirs, which made their foundations unstable and their spiritual power chaotic.


    All sorts of negative factors piled up.


    Even if Yan Shaoyin managed to refine all three alchemy recipes obtained from Chen Mobai, he would at best adjust himself to the most ordinary state of essence, qi, and spirit for a Golden Core Master in the Immortal Gate.


    Even the most elite figures within the Immortal Gate, such as Gongye Zhixu and Duanmu Longrong, who consumed the Infant-Feeding Elixir, failed in Nascent Soul Formation.


    The moment Yan Shaoyin took the step towards Nascent Soul Formation, what awaited him was death!


    This was also part of Chen Mobai¡¯s acceleration plan.


    Since Back to Sky Valley was protected by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, it wasn¡¯t easy to kill him outright, but if Yan Shaoyin committed suicide, there would be no issues.


    And with Yan Shaoyin dead, without a Golden Core Cultivator to preside, even with the support of the Star Heaven Dao Sect at their backs, Back to Sky Valley could only decline to a second-rate power.


    Whether or not there was a Golden Core Cultivator was critical to the survival of every major faction in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even need to act personally, as the rogue cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness, knowing the wealth of Back to Sky Valley, would probably target the sect¡¯s stores and markets throughout the Eastern Wilderness directly, and some might even have the audacity to form groups to raid the Summer Country.


    This acceleration plan had already been laid out when he delivered the Longevity Elixir Scripture, and the time to reap the rewards was finally approaching.


    When Chen Mobai and Yan Shaoyin first agreed to refine three types of elixirs, they each contributed half of the medicinal materials needed, and upon completion, they would each take half of the products.


    Because this concerned his own gains, Chen Mobai had shared all the key points regarding the three alchemy recipes with Yan Shaoyin during their previous exchanges.


    Later on, as many of the main and auxiliary ingredients were not available in the Eastern Wilderness, he had used his knowledge of medicines to each time provide two or three alternatives for Yan Shaoyin to test out.


    Because the alchemy system of the Immortal Gate was vastly different from that of the Tianhe Realm, even a grand alchemy master like Yan Shaoyin consistently failed at first when trying to tune the medicinal properties.


    However, through repeated failures, Yan Shaoyin demonstrated why he was considered the number one alchemy practitioner in the Eastern Wilderness.


    On his third attempt at refining the Return to True Elixir, he successfully produced the first batch.


    Yet, the batch yielded only four pills, and according to their agreement, Yan Shaoyin was to send two over to Chen Mobai. But upon inspection, Chen Mobai found the Dan poison content to be severely over the limit, and thinking of his acceleration plan, he simply used this batch of pills to offset half of the Nirvana Dan material cost, returning it all to Yan Shaoyin.


    Yan Shaoyin, naturally, was overjoyed. With these four Return to True Elixirs, as long as he refined another batch and paid attention to resolving the Dan poison, he could elevate his cultivation level to perfect Core Formation.


    ¡°Collect the ingredients on this list, and after the Golden Liquid Jade Pill is refined, send it to Back to Sky Valley.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Yue Zutao to take away the letter on the table.


    After successfully refining the Return to True Elixir, Yan Shaoyin felt he could leave Chen Mobai behind and had considered using the power of Back to Sky Valley to gather ingredients for the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    However, after refining the Nirvana Dan, Yan Shaoyin discovered that it was not feasible.


    Just the new batch of Return to True Elixirs and Nirvana Dan had almost exhausted more than half of Back to Sky Valley¡¯s wealth, and the primary and auxiliary ingredients required for the Infant-Feeding Elixir exceeded the sum needed for the two previous elixirs.


    This was also why Yan Shaoyin reluctantly agreed to personally assist in refining the Golden Liquid Jade Pill at a critical time when he was preparing for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Because the three main ingredients for the Infant-Feeding Elixir were available in the medicinal fields of the Divine Wood Sect.


    One dose of Reaching the Void Immortal Ganoderma, Jade Spirit Flower, and Revitalizing Yang Grass.


    Seeing these three town-sect treasure-grade, fourth-order medicinal herbs listed, Yue Zutao¡¯s hands trembled slightly.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this¡­¡±


    ¡°Start by gathering the auxiliary herbs; we will harvest the main herbs when we need them.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words eased Yue Zutao¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I will take my leave then.¡±


    After Yue Zutao departed, Chen Mobai sent Gu Yan to contact Zhuo Ming, instructing his beloved disciple to return to Giant Tree Ridge to help infuse the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations into the fourth-order Immortal Peach Fruit.


    While waiting for Zhuo Ming¡¯s return, Chen Mobai, who had just made a breakthrough, visited the neighboring Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Fu Zongjue was there, maneuvering two Purple Sun Puppets against each other; one moved as if it were an extension of his own body, while the other was stiff but shone with greater spiritual light, suggesting it was made of better material.


    After mastering the Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai could easily harvest fourth-order Longevity Wood, so Fu Zongjue, who had previously been limited by this material, began to truly indulge.


    ¡°Junior Brother, your timing is perfect. This Purple Sun Puppet no longer poses a challenge for me. I now want to see if I can restore the Little Azure Dragon from our Ancestor. Come and help me take a look.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai coming over, Fu Zongjue stopped adjusting the new Purple Sun Puppet and beckoned his junior to his cave dwelling where a giant table was set.


    On the table were the complete blueprints of the Fourth Order Longevity Wood Dragon, and many sections had fresh ink annotations¨Cevidently Fu Zongjue¡¯s own insights while pondering.


    ¡°If Senior Brother wishes to do it, I definitely support you.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit distressed because it was his own Everlife Wood that Fu Zongjue had asked him to cut.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that the remnants of the Ancestor¡¯s Little Azure Dragon are in the Hunyuan Immortal City. If we had that as a reference, we certainly wouldn¡¯t be limited to making just some scales and armor as we are now.¡±


    But a Fourth Order Longevity Wood Dragon was beyond Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppetry Technique limits, so even if he wanted to proceed, he could not construct the main body of the Wooden Dragon.


    Chen Mobai saw the dragon scales Fu Zongjue had made from the bark of the Everlife Wood, lifelike, and held up the branches that the latter had modified into what looked like bifurcated dragon horns, his eyes lighting up with admiration.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, most puppetry parts could only be fashioned by hand, but the pieces Fu Zongjue produced were like works of art.


    Unfortunately, the material of the Fourth Order Everlife Wood was too hard, and without the Extreme Sun Slash, Fu Zongjue could not make drastic changes to this kind of material.


    Chen Mobai was one of the rare Rank-3 Puppet Masters from the Immortal Gate, virtually a top-notch expert in the field of puppetry.


    Thus, his exchanges with Fu Zongjue often brought forth astonishing insights, clarifying many doubts his senior had about Puppetry Technique.


    Fu Zongjue, amazed by this, simply assumed that Chen Mobai had received the true transmission of The Art of Longevity Puppetry.


    ¡°Senior Brother, making this Little Azure Dragon might be difficult. Perhaps we should start with some other, simpler Fourth Order puppets.¡±


    Chen Mobai tactfully suggested after having seen the blueprints of the Longevity Wood Dragon, knowing that at least a Rank-4 Puppet Master would be needed to complete it independently.


    Although Fu Zongjue was already the best puppeteer in the Eastern Wilderness, specializing here would probably take decades to achieve anything significant.


    There were better ways to spend that time.


    ¡°Do you mean¡­ the puppets from Liu Jia Mountain?¡±


    Despite being a technical enthusiast, Fu Zongjue caught on instantly, immediately understanding what Chen Mobai meant.


    ¡°Yes, exactly. The Six Ding Six Jia Puppet Technique is much simpler than the Longevity Wood Dragon. And when our Sect eventually reclaims the Five Elements Sect, perhaps we could obtain the remnants of the Ancestral Master¡¯s Little Azure Dragon from Zhou Ye¡¯s hands. Why should Senior Brother waste time on this?¡±


    After hearing this, Fu Zongjue found the idea reasonable.


    Mainly because, after having completely conquered the Purple Sun Puppet, he was somewhat full of himself and wanted to achieve everything in one fell swoop. However, after a year of even Chen Mobai providing him with ample Everlife Wood material, he could only work on some minor details and edges, which had already somewhat discouraged Fu Zongjue.


    Now, with Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, he readily decided to set aside the project of the Longevity Wood Dragon.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, both Junior Brothers are here!¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice came from outside.


    Without the pressure from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he had spent most of the past few years in the Five Elements Sect¡¯s territory, infiltrating the Hunyuan Immortal City several times disguised as an ordinary cultivator to observe the changing patterns of the Mysterious Five Elements Array.


    Unfortunately, Zhou Ye was living at the core of the Immortal City, where the formation was at its strongest. Fearful of revealing his Nascent Soul cultivation and failing to kill in one strike, thereby alerting the enemy and possibly even getting caught in the large formation himself, Zhou Shengqing had not yet made a move.


    ¡°Greetings, Senior Brother!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had returned this time because of news from the East Barbarians.


    It was that Ku Zhu had finally quelled all dissenting voices within Kong Sang Valley, leading tens of thousands of the Sect¡¯s cultivators out of their protective array and marching towards the Bright Mirror Mountain, which was dominated by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Because the Five Elements Sect¡¯s ties with the Sun Bathing Sea were even stronger than their own Divine Wood Sect¡¯s, news reached the Hunyuan Immortal City more quickly.


    After learning of this, Zhou Shengqing immediately rushed back.


    ¡°That¡¯s great news. Although Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace is down to just four Golden Cores, with Jin Feng the old fiend still there, relying on the Mountain Protection Array, they could at least hold out for more than a decade against the army from Kong Sang Valley.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai calmly analyzed the situation.


    Previously, when he had slain Yan Fusheng, Liu Jia Mountain was able to resist their Divine Wood Sect¡¯s forces for nearly a year without a Golden Core Cultivator, relying solely on their Rank-4 Large Formation.

    If Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was determined to turtle up, even with two Nascent Souls from Kong Sang Valley, it might not be easy to break through the Bright Mirror Mountain.


    ¡°With Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace definitely preoccupied, let¡¯s take this opportunity to unify the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Initially, Zhou Shengqing had only intended to return to the Five Elements Sect to prove he was the rightful successor to Ancestor Hunyuan, but over the years, influenced by Chen Mobai, he too had taken on the mentality of a sovereign.


    Their Divine Wood Sect as the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Faced with this unprecedented era, they had the responsibility, as well as the obligation, to end the chaos that had prevailed since ancient times and bring an era of everlasting peace to this region!

 Chapter 1248 - Chapter 1248 Chapter 686 Ripening the Peach Fruit

    Chapter 1248: Chapter 686: Ripening the Peach Fruit Chapter 1248: Chapter 686: Ripening the Peach Fruit Chen Mobai had a complete plan for unifying the Eastern Wilderness early on.


    Now, only three targets and obstacles remained.


    They were the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley, and Snow-blowing Palace!


    In this matter, if their Divine Wood Sect directly made a move against Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, it would appear a bit like bullying the weak.


    It wasn¡¯t that Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford to lose face, but right now, taking over the Five Elements Sect was what best suited the strategy of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Because they had natural righteousness on their side!


    Their Divine Wood Sect attacking the territories of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace would be seen as invasion, but attacking the Five Elements Sect would be unification!


    Moreover, returning to Hunyuan Immortal City was also Zhou Shengqing¡¯s obsession.


    After returning from the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Zhou Shengqing had been in constant contact with Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi, jointly deducing the changes of the Mysterious Five Elements Array.


    He had even entered the Hunyuan Immortal City himself several times to observe and verify on-site.


    By now, Zhou Shengqing had absolute confidence.


    ¡°Capture the king first in battle, once Junior Brother Mo arrives, I¡¯ll call on the younger brothers and sisters to enter the Immortal City, halt the operation of the Five Elements Formation, and take down Zhou Ye.¡±


    Even for someone as composed as Zhou Shengqing, he couldn¡¯t help but get slightly excited as he spoke these words.


    He vividly remembered the scene years ago when he broke with his Master before the shrine tablets, taking Mo Douguang with him as they left the Immortal City in anger.


    Finally, he could return rightfully and openly.


    ¡°Do I and Fu Shixiong need to take action?¡±


    As long as the Five Elements Sect was taken down, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s unification of the Eastern Wilderness was almost a certainty.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai also placed great importance on this matter.


    ¡°The Sect still needs you to hold the fort; leave this to me.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, on the other hand, was full of confidence.


    Although Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi meant they wouldn¡¯t take part in the battle between Zhou Shengqing and Zhou Ye, upholding their integrity as Supreme Elders of the Five Elements Sect.


    But as long as they helped Zhou Shengqing stop the Mysterious Five Elements Array, with the latter¡¯s strength in the Nascent Soul Realm, and with Mo Douguang¡¯s support, taking down Zhou Ye was more than possible.


    ¡°Then we wait for good news from Senior Brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too keen on involving himself in the affairs between these disciples of the Ancestor Hunyuan. With Zhou Shengqing suggesting this, he went with the flow.


    After discussing this matter, the three of them talked about Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°Just wait till my Sect¡¯s vassal states have completed their unification, then I¡¯ll appoint my disciple to descend the mountain and assist the ruler, dispatching troops to the remaining twelve countries of the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°Those twelve countries are definitely unable to withstand the army¡¯s unification of the seven states. If Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace still wish to maintain control over the mortal nations, they must dispatch their disciples to take action.¡±


    ¡°As my disciple, Zong Heng can invite the cultivators from the various major families under the Divine Wood Sect to act. I believe they will give me this face.¡±


    Chen Mobai still cared somewhat about his face. With Jiang Zongheng coming down from the mountain to unify the Eastern Wilderness and cultivators battling on the field, it would be better if the Divine Wood Sect monks could avoid taking part.


    However, if the cultivators from Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace proved too formidable, he wouldn¡¯t be pedantic. When the time came, he would lead the Divine Wood Sect Monk army to crush through in the name of unification.


    ¡°With Junior Brother Mo at the helm, it truly is a blessing for our Sect.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t help but express his feelings.


    As natives to the Eastern Wilderness, they had always resolved such matters through Magic Duels.


    They could never have foreseen starting from the mortal realm, claiming the moral high ground with the righteousness of unification in an upright manner.


    Because practically all cultivators were born as mortals.


    The ideas and education they first absorbed were all while in the mortal world.


    After the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, the cultivators who were identified as having a Spiritual Root from the mortal realm and entered the world of cultivation would naturally be full of yearning for the Divine Wood Sect.


    Such an accumulation of followers meant people¡¯s hearts were won over, and the Divine Wood Sect would grow increasingly powerful.


    Moreover, these cultivators who joined the Sect after unification would possess a strong sense of belonging and pride in the Divine Wood Sect due to the information they received since childhood, ensuring their loyalty was solid.


    After the three had finished their discussion, Zhou Shengqing sent someone to pass a message to Mo Douguang, waiting for this junior brother to come.


    Chen Mobai then summoned Jiang Zongheng to ask him how the unification undertaking under the Divine Wood Sect was progressing.

    ¡°Reporting to Master, Korea has broken through Lei Nation, and Rock Country has also taken down Xiao Country and Rainbow Country. We only wait for these two countries to determine the victor, deciding the ruler of all.¡±


    Upon hearing Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    ¡°How did Jian Country manage to break through Lei Nation?¡±


    Previously, under the leadership of Duan Shuyu, Lei Nation had firmly blocked the army of Jian Country for three years.


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s view, even if Jian Country had another hundred thousand troops, they could not breach Lei Nation, which defended its natural stronghold.

 Chapter 1249 - Chapter 1249 Chapter 686 Ripening Peach Fruit_2

    Chapter 1249: Chapter 686 Ripening Peach Fruit_2 Chapter 1249: Chapter 686 Ripening Peach Fruit_2 ¡°Master, actually, in the first year when the Jian Country¡¯s army was blocked by Lei Nation, King Han already knew that it would be very difficult to break through Duan Shuyu¡¯s defenses by land alone, so he had the Second Prince lead an army to attack the front, while the Third Prince gathered all the nation¡¯s craftsmen to build large ships.¡±


    ¡°Having taken down the shores of Yun Country and Rain Country in Yun Meng Ze, the skilled shipbuilders from these two countries helped, and within three years, a sufficient number of warships were constructed.¡±


    ¡°Last month, the Third Prince led sixty thousand naval troops and took a water route through Yun Meng Ze, avoiding Duan Shuyu¡¯s defenses, and directly landed in the heartland of Lei Nation, quickly breaking into the capital and exterminating the Sheng royal family.¡±


    At this point, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s face showed a look of regret.


    The King of Lei Nation was no less wise than King Han; it¡¯s just unfortunate that Lei Nation was weak. Even with a peerless general like Duan Shuyu, the end was still death and the extinction of his clan.


    Following King Sheng¡¯s death, Jian Country¡¯s land and sea forces coordinated an attack on Duan Shuyu from both within and without, coupled with Lei Nation¡¯s turncoat faction, Duan Shuyu was left without the means to turn the tide.


    But even so, he held out for two months, until the supplies were exhausted, and he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh deeply before drawing his sword to end his own life.


    ¡°Dead?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a look of regret.


    Even he had great respect for this Duan Shuyu, thinking that such a person could be kept for the unification of the Eastern Wilderness as a leading figure.


    ¡°Officially, he¡¯s dead, but in reality, he was rescued by the Black Dragon Guard of Rock Country. The one who committed suicide was a body double.¡±


    This kind of thing might fool common folk, but not Jiang Zongheng, who had been paying attention to the whole process.


    ¡°In your opinion, between King Han and King Zhao, who will ultimately be the one to prevail over the world?¡±


    Based on the apparent strength, Rock Country naturally couldn¡¯t compete with Jian Country, but if a renowned general from the Eastern Wilderness like Duan Shuyu were to defect to King Zhao, it might lead to an unexpected outcome.


    ¡°King Han is wise; with him around, Jian Country just needs to press on with its rightful and grand momentum. Even if Rock Country has Duan Shuyu, at best, they can only hold on to a corner of the land.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng gave his assessment.


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded gently. While the master and disciple were discussing the situation of the world, Gu Yan came back with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, no need for such formalities.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw Zhuo Ming and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile, gesturing for her to stand up.


    ¡°Master, when I heard you had emerged from seclusion, Luo Shimei also wanted to come, but it just so happens that Senior Sister Yin is at a critical moment in her cultivation, so she stayed behind as a protector¡­¡±


    After Zhuo Ming stood up, she first spoke of one matter; Yin Qingmei was near Foundation Establishment Completion!


    She had already reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment before, and Chen Mobai had even bestowed a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit upon her.


    Last year, she felt that she had reached a critical moment in her cultivation, so she exchanged her own slot at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for another one. Sure enough, after consuming it, there were signs of a breakthrough in the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Although Luo Yixuan was somewhat petty-minded, under Chen Mobai¡¯s many years of verbal instruction and personal example, she was still clear about major rights and wrongs.


    Knowing that Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root at Foundation Establishment Completion, would basically signal that Divine Wood Sect would gain another Golden Core Cultivator, she stayed by her side at all times to prevent any accidents.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, Xuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai was indeed very pleased when he heard this. His disciple was sensible, which made him as a teacher feel a great sense of achievement.


    ¡°Master, what is it that you called me here for?¡±


    Zhuo Ming asked, she was extremely busy every day in Rainbow Country.


    In addition to combating desertification, there¡¯s also Dari Purple Rice, and sometimes she even had to oversee the progress of the confluence of the two great rivers.


    Because Luo Xue¡¯er had refined a Heterodox Golden Core, the efficiency of opening up the Mo River greatly increased. She took charge personally, not only catching up with the White River but even surpassing it.


    During the time Chen Mobai was in seclusion, to keep up with the accelerated progress of the Mo River, Zhuo Ming had no choice but to dispatch more contractors, striving not to delay the important conjunction of the two rivers.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t called for her, Zhuo Ming may not have been able to find the time to come to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Your teacher has obtained a type of Spiritual Liquid called ¡®Water of Ten Thousand Transformations,¡¯ which can revitalize all beings and promote the growth of all things¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai explained to Zhuo Ming the reason for calling her, that he wanted her help to hasten the maturation of the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    Everyone present showed a look of shock upon hearing the effects of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    ¡°The Longevity Sect actually possesses such a miraculous Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    After the shock, Zhuo Ming spoke.


    Because Chen Mobai often produced treasures that far surpassed the foundation of the Divine Wood Sect, his disciples automatically assumed they were from the Longevity Sect, and Chen Mobai just smiled without contradicting them.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s time was precious, and after Chen Mobai spoke, he personally piloted the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± taking her, Jiang Zongheng, and Gu Yan to Xiao Nanshan.


    This place had already transformed into a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein. Sadly, the cultivators of this lineage were all busy with different matters, so apart from being absorbed by the Immortal Peach Tree and other Spirit Plants, much of the Spiritual Energy dissipated into the void, captured by the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.


    Nevertheless, this kind of waste would not occur in the future.


    After Chen Mobai landed on the mountaintop, he took out a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone engraved with a charging Formation and placed it casually on a large rock at the highest point.


    In this way, the escaping Spiritual Energy from Xiao Nanshan would be absorbed by this Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.


    This was the third one.


    Chen Mobai had already placed the other two in his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Based on his estimate, if he didn¡¯t compete for Spiritual Energy, it would take approximately two years to fully charge a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in the Longevity Wood Dojo.


    But for the one at Xiao Nanshan, since priority must be given to supplying plants like the Immortal Peach Tree, Tea Tree, Pure Bamboo, and so on, it could only absorb some peripheral Spiritual Energy, and might take five to six years.


    Of course, it was also possible to charge by placing a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    However, Chen Mobai estimated that by the time it was fully charged, the Rank-3 Spirit Vein would probably be drained and exhausted.


    Draining a pool for fish was not sustainable, so Chen Mobai¡¯s idea was to start charging it here.


    After all, the most significant use of a fully charged Supreme-grade Spirit Stone at this stage for him was to suppress the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein.


    If it became an urgent matter in the future, he could use the authority of the Sect Leader to pour all the Spiritual Energy accumulated in the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, but that would affect the cultivation progress of many disciples within the sect.


    Generally, this was only done when someone in the sect was about to break through to Golden Core or ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After Chen Mobai placed the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone and adjusted its efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Energy, he gently stamped his foot, and Tai Sui emerged.


    ¡°Watch over this stone¡­¡±


    Tai Sui nodded repeatedly after hearing this.


    These past years had been its most comfortable time. Zhuo Ming had left, and Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t come by either; with no one to command it, it roamed leisurely within the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, utterly carefree.


    Chen Mobai even saw a faint dark cyan glow on Tai Sui¡¯s pitch-black body.


    In the Immortal Gate, there was a Fourth Grade Tai Sui with feathers green as emerald; every time Three Spirit Medicines were refined for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± a piece was cut off as the main ingredient.


    Since Yan Shaoyin was about to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, observing the cyan glow on Tai Sui¡¯s body inspired Chen Mobai to contemplate accelerating its growth by Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.


    However, given Tai Sui¡¯s special nature as a Spiritual Object, he wasn¡¯t certain Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth would be effective.


    Thus, after much hesitation, he decided not to take action.


    ¡°Master, which Immortal Peach fruits do you want to ripen?¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming, having communicated with the Immortal Peach Tree, was holding the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations Chen Mobai had given her and flew up to the branches laden with unripe fruits, asking him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai flew over to take a look. Thanks to the Spirit Vein of Xiao Nanshan and Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Qi of All Things, a total of twelve Rank-4 Immortal Peaches had fruited.


    And the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations listed on the shelves of Jumang Academy was in limited supply, enough to infuse at most nine peaches.


    Chen Mobai thought back to his experience consuming Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    A person could consume up to five at most without effect; two had the best cost-effectiveness, but by the third, it was somewhat wasteful.


    Conscious of avoiding waste, Chen Mobai selected five of the largest unripe peaches and asked Zhuo Ming to infuse them with the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.

 Chapter 1250 - Chapter 1250 Chapter 687

    Chapter 1250: Chapter 687 Chapter 1250: Chapter 687 Zhuo Ming, under the state of All Things Spiritual Communication, accurately controlled the dosage of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    Ensuring that the five peach fruits chosen by Chen Mobai all received the maximum amount of spiritual liquid.


    Thus, under the amazed gazes of the onlookers, the originally green-skinned jade-like peaches visibly began to turn red and yellow, their colors vibrant.


    During this process, the nature¡¯s spiritual energy nearby, along with the sunlight and water vapor, was continuously absorbed by these five peach fruits, causing the originally immature peaches to gradually swell, resembling beating hearts, pulsating with surging vitality and vigor.


    ¡°Master, these five peach fruits are almost mature, but there is still some potency from the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations not yet assimilated; we can wait another month for the fruits to fully ripen and fall on their own.¡±


    Zhuo Ming communicated through All Things Spiritual Communication and reported to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Good, good, good, Ming¡¯er you¡¯ve worked hard, hahaha¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the five full and vivid peaches on the branches and couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Although he was unsure whether having consumed Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit would affect the efficacy of Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, Chen Mobai felt there was no problem.


    He had just broken through to the Golden Core Fifth Layer, and after consolidating his realm, consuming these mature Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits could greatly shorten the time needed to accumulate Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    It was uncertain how much they would help him improve.


    ¡°Master, there is still nearly half of the spiritual liquid left.¡±


    After completing the ripening of the Immortal Peach Fruits, Zhuo Ming handed the container of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°My Enlightenment Tea Tree has been stuck at Rank-2 for many years now, Ming¡¯er, you can try and see if you can help it level up.¡±


    Chen Mobai had to wait many years to obtain this Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, naturally, he wanted to make the most of it.


    The fact that Wen Ren Xuewei managed to upgrade her Enlightenment Tea so quickly to Rank-3, aside from nurturing it with various tea tree essences, also lay in her ability to obtain Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    It was a matter that she confided to him after the two became well-acquainted.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming also became very curious about whether the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations would benefit the leveling up of spirit plants.


    Because the Immortal Peach Tree was forced to grow faster with the help of Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, losing the potential to level up, it was directly infused into the fruits to ripen them.


    A group of four people quickly arrived at the tea garden midway up the mountain.


    Zhuo Ming once again deployed her All Things Spiritual Communication, then very carefully took an amount of spiritual liquid equivalent to one-sixth of what was used to ripen the peach fruits, and dripped it into the roots of the tea tree.


    Then, Zhuo Ming used her Mother Earth Cultivation to help the tea tree digest the daunting Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    The Water of Ten Thousand Transformations that Chen Mobai had acquired was of Rank-4 quality.


    Of course, it could also be Rank-5, but such quality was definitely not for sale by the Peach Blossom Sage.


    For Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, Rank-4 quality was perfect for prompting full ripening, but for the Enlightenment White Tea that was merely Second Order High Grade, it was a bit beyond its digestion capacity.


    At the Immortal Gate, when faced with this situation, the general approach would be to dilute it first and inject it in several instances.


    Chen Mobai was unaware of this, fortunately, he called for Zhuo Ming, the number one Spirit Plant Master of the Divine Wood Sect, and after ripening the Immortal Peach Fruit and communicating with the tea tree, they discovered this issue.


    So, she only took a very small amount of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for drip irrigation, and even utilized her Mother Qi of All Things to draw upon the Earth Qi of Xiao Nanshan to aid the tea tree in digestion.


    After doing this three times, Chen Mobai saw the bark of the tea tree suddenly split open, then the branches doubled in size, visibly growing and expanding in a circle.


    Afterward, the air suddenly filled with a richer aroma of tea, delighting the senses.


    ¡°Master, I have not failed in my duty!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, also pleased, released her right hand from the tea tree trunk, lightly wiping the sweat from her forehead.


    After all, she was just at the Foundation Building Realm, and helping the tea tree refine Rank-4 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was indeed very strenuous.


    Now, she was nearly depleted of spiritual power.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you have worked hard, rest for a bit now.¡±


    Chen Mobai also noticed this and took out a piece of top-grade Spirit Stone to give to her; Zhuo Ming did not stand on ceremony, took it, and went to the wooden hut at the top of the mountain to sit in meditation and recover her expended spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai asked Gu Yan to follow and take care of her, while he himself stayed in the tea garden, observing the Enlightenment White Tea that had just leveled up.


    Although the quality certainly had some disparity compared to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s, this tea tree surely had more potential.


    After all, before long, Chen Mobai would become the ruler of the entire Eastern Desolation, able to collect tea trees from all over the world.


    Having broken through the bottleneck from Rank-2 to Rank-3, as long as there were enough different types of tea trees, they could be very rapidly upgraded to Third Rank Superior Grade.


    One must understand that even with the support of Jumang Academy, when Wen Ren Xuewei collected the tea tree resources of the entire Immortal Gate, she only managed to cultivate them to that extent.


    Chen Mobai thought about this and decided that he couldn¡¯t overlook the resources from the Immortal Gate¡¯s side.


    He planned to use the excuse of opening a tea garden to upgrade Enlightenment White Tea, to ask Wen Ren Xuewei to send over a batch of the tea varieties she had collected, which he would then plant in a designated area on Danxia Mountain.


    In secret, he would have Zhuo Ming plant the tea varieties here in Xiao Nanshan, striving to cultivate it into a Rank-3 Superior Grade in the shortest possible time.


    By then, the jar of tea leaves given by Wen Ren Xuewei would probably be just about finished.


    Thinking of the future, where he could freely drink Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    While Zhuo Ming was recovering her Spiritual Power, he even took the rare initiative to tend to the newly leveled-up Enlightenment Tea Tree himself, using the Echoes in the Void to draw in more Spirit Qi and Earth Qi.


    As dusk approached, Zhuo Ming had recovered seventy to eighty percent of her Spiritual Power.


    It was just in time as Jiang Zongheng had returned with ingredients like Spirit Rice, Spirit Chicken, and Spirit Fish.


    With practiced ease, Zhuo Ming brought out the kitchen utensils and started cooking, while Gu Yan, having been by Chen Mobai¡¯s side for years, had been trained in culinary skills and was helping with the preparation of ingredients.


    ¡°Master, I saw Tai Sui today. It innately possesses the Earth Escape Power, allowing it to move easily underground. Staying in Xiao Nanshan is a bit of a waste of its abilities. Why don¡¯t I take it to the Eastern Desolation Plateau when I go back this time?¡± Zhuo Ming suddenly said while Chen Mobai was eating Rank-3 Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice, causing him to pause slightly.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you rarely ask your master for anything, so naturally, since you¡¯ve spoken up this time, I agree.¡±


    Chen Mobai originally thought about whether he could use the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations to evolve Tai Sui into Rank-4, but upon further reflection, he realized that after reaching Rank-4, Tai Sui might be able to break free from the contract binding it to him. So, for safety¡¯s sake, he abandoned that idea.


    After all, if Yan Shaoyin was to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, it would surely be after the Jade Return Pill. When the need arose, they would talk about it then.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t keep this matter from Zhuo Ming. After all, in the future, if she took Tai Sui with her, she would need to observe and see if there was a way to cut out a piece individually and use the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations to cultivate it into Rank-4 for use as the main ingredient in the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t know what the Infant-Feeding Elixir was, considering that it required Rank-4 Tai Sui as the main ingredient, at the very least it would be a Rank-4 elixir. Judging from the name of the elixir, she guessed that it might have something to do with the Nascent Soul Realm.


    So, when Chen Mobai mentioned it, she immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Take this Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. Use it to help Qing Mei upgrade her Destiny Spirit Plant to Rank-3 as well and consider it my congratulations to her for her Foundation Establishment Completion.¡±


    Having acquired the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was no longer of much use to Chen Mobai, and he thought of Yin Qingmei, his goddaughter.


    Over the years, she had followed Zhuo Ming without complaint, employing the Technique of Forced Growth on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, planting trees and treating the desert. Now that she had achieved Foundation Establishment Completion, it was time to reward her properly.


    The Biyu Wutong tree was originally in Northern Abyss City. After they had conquered Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai personally intervened, along with Zhuo Ming, to move it atop a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein there.


    Over these past ten years, nourished by Rank-4 Spiritual Energy and sunlight condensed by the Haotian Mirror, it had evolved into a Second Order High Grade. With the irrigation of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, it could level up to Rank-3, just like the Enlightenment Tea Tree.


    And for cultivators of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, evolving their Destiny Spirit Plant in tandem would allow them to experience the transformation that comes with leveling up.


    This would greatly benefit Yin Qingmei¡¯s upcoming Core Formation.


    It¡¯s akin to prematurely experiencing an alternative form of Core Formation, similar to Chen Mobai and Meng Huang¡¯s Dual Cultivation, causing a transformational leap in spirit and consciousness.


    As a Heavenly Spiritual Root and a cultivator of the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, Chen Mobai had high hopes for Yin Qingmei.


    He hoped she could achieve Core Formation without relying on the foundation of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. If so, the Divine Wood Sect might gain another Nascent Soul Cultivator in the future.


    That¡¯s why, for the Jade Return Pill that Yan Shaoyin was refining, Chen Mobai had already decided to reserve one for Yin Qingmei.


    By experiencing the evolution of the Biyu Wutong tree and with the Jade Return Pill, and if she also received his personal guidance on Core Formation Insights, Yin Qingmei should be able to overcome the Core Formation hurdle.


    ¡°Master, if Senior Sister Yin knew about this, she would definitely be very grateful to you,¡± Zhuo Ming commented, taking the nearly half-used vial of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, already imagining the delighted expression on Yin Qingmei¡¯s face when she learned of its effects.


    ¡°Once the Biyu Wutong tree advances to Rank-3, let Qing Mei come to Northern Abyss City to find me. Apart from Core Formation Insights, there are many secrets concerning Heavenly Spiritual Root Core Formation that I need to admonish her about.¡±


    Zhuo Ming listened and nodded, keeping Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions in mind.

    Early the next morning, Zhuo Ming came to say goodbye at the Longevity Wood Dojo, as she was ready to take the Teleportation Array back to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Seeing his beloved disciple so busy, Chen Mobai also felt some reluctance.


    But when he thought about the major responsibilities she was handling, he could only sigh about his shortage of competent subordinates; there was no one who could replace Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°By the way, how is that disciple of yours doing?¡± he asked as Zhuo Ming was about to leave in a hurry, remembering the third-generation eldest disciple he had selected.


    ¡°Zhi Ling? She¡¯s preparing for Foundation Establishment!¡±

 Chapter 1251 - Chapter 1251 Chapter 688 Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing

    Chapter 1251: Chapter 688: Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder Chapter 1251: Chapter 688: Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder Han Zhiling, the third-generation disciple, had excellent Spiritual Root Talent and was willing to endure hardships and labor, which was very suitable for the style of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.


    Chen Mobai calculated and felt that Han Zhiling had been cultivated enough and could be entrusted with important tasks.


    Just as Xiao Nanshan had been neglected for a long time due to the absence of people, Chen Mobai discussed with Zhuo Ming and then let her come here for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor.¡±


    At the peak of Xiao Nanshan, Han Zhiling, who had just returned from the Eastern Desolation Plateau, respectfully performed a grand salutation to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Your foundation is solid, and your talent is outstanding. In addition, with the help of the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein here, Foundation Establishment should pose no problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai used a Formless Puppet to simulate Han Zhiling¡¯s Foundation Establishment process, which predicted a very smooth success, and he also helped to clear up her accumulated confusion during her daily cultivation, and he spoke to instill confidence in her.


    After listening to Chen Mobai, Han Zhiling¡¯s expression indeed relaxed slightly.


    Because she knew that the Ancestor before her was hailed as a Great Sage and Good Teacher in the Eastern Wilderness, and he had claimed that cultivators he said could succeed in Foundation Establishment had never failed.


    When Chen Mobai left, he gave her a Taoist Talisman Paper, which was for controlling parts of the Cloud Mist Array of Xiao Nanshan. However, with her current cultivation level, she could only manipulate some of its functions.


    ¡°If there¡¯s anything, you can look for Gu Yan.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the possibility that he might enter seclusion for a long time or go to Northern Abyss City and not be at Giant Tree Ridge, so he added Gu Yan¡¯s contact to Han Zhiling¡¯s Heavenly Communication Device.


    After Chen Mobai arranged for Han Zhiling, the third-generation disciple, he returned to his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    He replaced the Formless Puppet¡¯s energy source with a Top-grade Spirit Stone, setting it aside for automatic simulation.


    After Han Zhiling¡¯s Foundation Establishment was confirmed, her cultivation would focus on the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    As for this, Chen Mobai naturally had no objections. It was also the best choice because, with him, an Ancestor who reached the peak, Han Zhiling could receive the most accurate answers to any difficulties encountered.


    The only problem now was to deduce a segment of cultivation technique that would bridge and convert between the Melting Fire Technique and the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    This task was very difficult for others, but for Chen Mobai, it was just a matter of using more Spirit Stones.


    As all of Han Zhiling¡¯s related data had already been entered into the Formless Puppet, what followed just required him to wait for the simulation to finish.


    Time quickly passed, half a month later.


    One day, Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang returned with somewhat awkward expressions.


    ¡°Eh? What happened to you two senior brothers¡­?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a surprise, as Zhou Shengqing had left with great ambition, yet returned silent and without words.


    ¡°Alas, who knew that Master, before his passing in meditation, condensed a ¡®Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder¡¯ for Zhou Ye. No wonder that little fellow hardly ever leaves the Hunyuan Immortal City¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke somewhat helplessly. At this time, Fu Zongjue also came over, and upon hearing this unfamiliar term, he too was full of confusion.


    ¡°This Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder is a secret Thunder method of the First Origin Dao Palace. The one that Zhou Ye has is even refined together with the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of Hunyuan Immortal City, bound to his life. Once activated, it draws upon the Five Element Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, causing Spirit Veins to explode, mountains to collapse, earth to crack, and it is estimated that half of the Ming Nation would sink into the land, all living beings extinguished, and everything falling into deathly silence!¡±


    After listening to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s explanation, both Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue inhaled sharply in shock.


    They had never imagined that Ancestor Hunyuan would possess such a terrifying method!


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing also began detailing the specifics of their mission.


    The four of them had smoothly entered Hunyuan Immortal City through the Medium Transporting Formation at Wind Rain Hamlet and then stopped the operation of the Mysterious Five Elements Array.


    Zhou Shengqing then confidently, together with Mo Douguang, confronted Zhou Ye, aspiring to prove himself as Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s most outstanding disciple.


    Zhou Ye, being rather straightforward, revealed the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder directly upon realizing he was no match, without engagement in battle.


    Should this Divine Thunder explode, perhaps Zhou Shengqing may barely cling to life due to a Rank-4 Magic Artifact, but Mo Douguang, Nu Jiang, and Sheng Zhaoxi would undoubtedly be reduced to ashes.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Shengqing naturally did not wish for them to die for Zhou Ye, so he had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.


    ¡°Brother, did you not try to talk with Zhou Ye?¡±


    After hearing the story, Chen Mobai asked Zhou Shengqing in surprise.


    ¡°Talk about what? I just wanted to slaughter him!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s response was very much in line with the character of the natives of the Eastern Wilderness, prompting Chen Mobai to raise his thumb in approval.


    ¡°Now that Zhou Ye possesses the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, it means we cannot resolve this by force. We need to address the dispute between us in a peaceful manner through negotiation, to see what conditions Zhou Ye needs in order to give up control of the Five Elements Sect and Hunyuan Immortal City.¡±


    ¡°He would negotiate?¡± When Zhou Shengqing heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, he was visibly shocked.


    Not just him, both Mo Douguang and Fu Zongjue were equally astonished.

    In their view, the Five Elements Sect and Hunyuan Immortal City were Zhou Ye¡¯s lifelines. Since Ancestor Hunyuan had entrusted these to him, he would surely choose death over relinquishment.


    To them, negotiating over these things with Zhou Ye was tantamount to an outright humiliation.


    ¡°How do you know it won¡¯t work if you don¡¯t talk about it? Perhaps Zhou Ye is just waiting for you brothers to negotiate. If he really were so uncompromising, why didn¡¯t he use the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder the moment he saw you?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhou Shengqing, and Mo Douguang fell into contemplation.


    They had returned to Hunyuan Immortal City with agitated hearts and had truly not considered this possibility.

 Chapter 1252 - Chapter 1252 Chapter 688 Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing

    Chapter 1252: Chapter 688 Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder_2 Chapter 1252: Chapter 688 Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder_2 ¡°`


    ¡°Shall I¡­ make another trip there?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said hesitantly.


    ¡°Absolutely not.¡± But Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, ¡°Zhou Ye is only possibly willing to negotiate¨Cit¡¯s just a hypothetical. He possesses the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, and if he truly decides to, he might consider taking his senior brother with him to death.¡±


    Chen Mobai had always been prudent in his actions. Had this been facing Zhou Ye directly before, in a predicament with no other options, using negotiation might have been a viable solution.


    But now that they were back and knowing the power of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, it was downright impossible to allow the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s top-ranked cultivators to step into the Ming Nation¡¯s territory again.


    Even if there¡¯s only a one percent chance, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t risk putting Zhou Shengqing, a strategic-level Embodiment Nascent Soul, in danger.


    ¡°What does junior brother think we should do then about reclaiming the Five Elements Sect? Or should we put it on hold and first seize Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sincerely asked for advice.


    ¡°The power of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, as senior brother mentioned, centers around the Hunyuan Immortal City. Once activated, it shouldn¡¯t exceed the boundaries of Ming Nation, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai inquired with even more care. Zhou Shengqing immediately nodded, being the disciple who followed Ancestor Hunyuan the longest and was most familiar with this thunder method.


    ¡°In truth, it is the territory that the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of the Hunyuan Immortal City can influence, covering most of Ming Nation. The Divine Thunder¡¯s power is strongest at the center. Even I might struggle to withstand it, but at the edges, I should be able to block it with the Golden Mirage Pearl.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt reassured, but he asked Zhou Shengqing another question, ¡°Does senior brother absolutely want Zhou Ye dead?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing appeared perplexed upon hearing this, ¡°What do you mean by that, junior brother?¡±


    Chen Mobai made an assumption, ¡°If Zhou Ye is willing to surrender, hand over the Primordial Dao Fruit, acknowledge that Wood Vein¡¯s orthodoxy in Five Elements Sect, and wants only to save his life, would senior brother be willing to spare him?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t imagine such good fortune and immediately nodded, ¡°As long as he acknowledges that Master chose me to inherit the Five Elements Sect before passing away in meditation, not only will I spare his life, but I might even allow him to continue being my loyal junior brother, managing the Earth Vein.¡±


    With these words, Chen Mobai felt assured.


    He produced a sand table map of the Eastern Desolation, circled the Ming Nation where Hunyuan Immortal City was located, and then pointed to the other territories belonging to the Five Elements Sect¨CMist Country, Fire Country, Ji Country, Hao Country, Spring Country, Sunny Country.


    ¡°The biggest problem with Zhou Ye¡¯s Divine Thunder is that it cannot be moved. We first conquer the Five Elements Sect territories surrounding Ming Nation, let him see the overall situation is gone, then I will use a Puppet Body to enter Hunyuan Immortal City and negotiate with him. If he is willing to deactivate the Divine Thunder, hand over the Primordial Dao Fruit and Five Elements Sect, we will give him a chance to repent and correct his ways.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhou Shengqing and the others all looked perplexed.


    ¡°Can the fall of merely six mundane nations shake Zhou Ye¡¯s Dao Heart?¡±


    The cultivators of Eastern Desolation generally regarded commoners as weeds, especially these Golden Core cultivators standing at the pinnacle, all of whom had witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, their Dao Hearts unwavering.


    ¡°Three senior brothers just wait and see. Also, conquering these countries one by one also allows Nu Jiang¡¯s senior brother and Sheng Shijie to legitimately defect to us.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, prompting Zhou Shengqing to immediately ask for advice.


    Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi didn¡¯t hold any particular views towards the orthodoxy of the Five Elements Sect. Whether Zhou Ye continued to firmly hold Hunyuan Immortal City or Zhou Shengqing, the Dragon King returned, either was acceptable to them.


    Originally, they didn¡¯t split because, besides Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s order, they also didn¡¯t want to bear the infamy of splitting the Sect.


    For them, who valued their reputations so dearly, Chen Mobai had also arranged a grand defection package if Zhou Shengqing¡¯s plan didn¡¯t proceed smoothly.


    When the time came, in front of the grand army, Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi would personally go to battle against the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Core cultivators to protect the Five Elements Sect, and finally, due to being outnumbered, they would suffer a terrible defeat.


    Then, either Zhou Shengqing or Mo Douguang, as a senior brother, would appear before the formations to persuade them to surrender.


    Initially, Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi would definitely sternly refuse, but because Earth Vein¡¯s Zhou Ye delayed providing support, they would struggle bitterly for a while before their nation was destroyed and their formations broken. They would then cover for their disciples of Water Vein and Fire Vein to retreat, and finally be captured by the cultivators of Divine Wood Sect.


    In such a case, Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s decision to surrender to the Divine Wood Sect, whether from the perspective of the Sect¡¯s greater good or personal righteousness, was faultless.


    After hearing about it, people would only marvel at their loyalty and unyielding integrity!


    ¡°Junior brother¡¯s plan is excellent. I will go and talk to them right now.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s arranged plan for Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s defection, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s face lit up with happiness.


    ¡°`


    When the Mysterious Five Elements Array ceased to operate in Hunyuan Immortal City, although Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi did not show themselves, Zhou Ye was certainly aware of this fact.


    Thus, under the threat of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, when they disgracefully left Hunyuan Immortal City, Zhou Shengqing found it difficult to save face.


    After all, before the operation commenced, he had confidently declared that there would absolutely be no problems.


    When Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi left, although they didn¡¯t say anything, Zhou Shengqing was deeply ashamed.


    Now that Chen Mobai had presented them with the role of loyal and righteous, Zhou Shengqing felt it was a perfect opportunity to make up for this failure.


    Therefore, after hearing it, he could no longer sit still.


    After Zhou Shengqing left, Mo Douguang also didn¡¯t stay in Giant Tree Ridge. However, before taking the teleportation array, the usually silent Mo Douguang said to Chen Mobai, ¡°The matters henceforth shall trouble junior brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised when he heard this, but still nodded with a smile to Mo Douguang.


    In the year 6525 of the First Epoch.


    The second prince of Jian Country led a massive army of two hundred thousand, stepping onto the Eastern Desolation Plateau, with their blades directly pointing at Rock Country.


    King Zhao himself led a hundred thousand troops and set up their formation in White Flame Valley, confronting the Jian Country army head-on.


    The battlefield saw a battle fierce and unparalleled!


    Yet beneath the brave and vital essence, Rock Country¡¯s hundred thousand troops stoutly defended the line. King Zhao stood like a solitary gatekeeper, invincible, showcasing his profound and tyrannical martial cultivation.


    After six months of battle with countless casualties, even though the Jian Country¡¯s army was superior, they encountered a situation similar to their invasion into Lei Nation and could not advance even a step further.


    However, Jian Country repeated their old tactics: the third prince led the naval forces and landed in Sky Country.


    Here, however, they encountered Duan Shuyu, who had surrendered to King Zhao. The latter, leading the Rock Country army, had been waiting in Sky Country. After the Jian Country naval forces had rushed a hundred miles upon landing, Duan Shuyu, who was well-prepared, encircled this naval force.


    On land, the naval forces naturally suffered a significant defeat against a great general like Duan Shuyu.


    The third prince led the naval forces in a desperate escape back to their ships.


    However, after finally breaking through the heavy encirclement to the shore, the third prince saw only the remnants of their ships burned to ashes and Duan Shuyu himself waiting there.


    In this battle, Jian Country¡¯s sixty thousand naval troops, including the third prince, were completely annihilated.


    Duan Shuyu avenged the great injustice of King Sheng¡¯s annihilation by the third prince.


    The morale in Rock Country was tremendously boosted!


    The news returned to Jian Country, and the aged King Han, overcome with grief, blacked out and fell into a coma.


    As Jiang Zongheng, who observed the overall situation, felt his judgment might be mistaken and that King Zhao could be the universal ruler, King Han regained consciousness.


    He left his eldest prince in charge of the nation and mobilized all able-bodied men from Jian Country and Yun Country, which he had ruled for five years, assembling an army of three hundred thousand to lead the battle personally to the frontlines!


    Faced with the grand force of five hundred thousand, even King Zhao, with his innate martial prowess, was helpless to turn the tides.


    White Flame Valley fell, and Rock Country¡¯s hundred thousand troops were routed!

    If it was not for Duan Shuyu leading his elite troops for support, King Zhao might have already fallen in battle.


    After this battle, Jian Country¡¯s army advanced unstoppably!


    Within just a month, they captured twelve cities of Rock Country, and the army directly advanced to the capital of King Zhao.


    Yet in this dire situation, King Zhao did not surrender. On one hand, he lit beacon fires calling for all lords to aid him, while on the other hand, he placed complete trust in Duan Shuyu, handing over all military power to him, allowing this unparalleled general of the Eastern Desolation to defend the city!


    The five hundred thousand strong army of Jian Country fiercely attacked for three months but could not breach the city!

 Chapter 1253 - Chapter 1253 Chapter 689 Gold Core Level 6

    Chapter 1253: Chapter 689: Gold Core Level 6 Chapter 1253: Chapter 689: Gold Core Level 6 In the year 6526 of the Yuan era,


    Crown Prince of Jianguo¡¯s forces conquered Sky Country and Rainbow Country.


    Aside from a small region centered around the Imperial City of Rock Country, the entirety of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s domain had fallen into King Han¡¯s grasp.


    Despite Duan Shuyu¡¯s unparalleled defense facing the relentless assault of a several hundred thousand strong army, over time, he began to show a decline.


    Just as Jiang Zongheng believed victory was within reach, King Han passed away.


    ¡­


    ¡°So the Heavens decree!¡±


    After hearing about the events from Jiang Zongheng, Chen Mobai sighed and spoke four words.


    ¡°Master, after King Han¡¯s death, a battle for the throne is likely to ensue between the crown prince and the second prince of Jianguo.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng too wore an expression of regret; King Han had been just one step away from becoming the supreme ruler of all lands.


    Following King Han¡¯s death, Jiang Zongheng personally inspected the body to confirm that the death was neither accidental nor a dark maneuver by Rock Country.


    Instead, it was due to the end of his lifespan¨Chis heart and flesh had decayed and failed.


    King Han, in theory, should have had several more years to live, but the death of his son had agitated his heart and mind. He had forced on by leading the charge into battle, exhausting his vitality.


    In such cases, no medicine could heal, and Jiang Zongheng was without means to intervene.


    ¡°You take care of it.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, left these worldly affairs entirely to Jiang Zongheng, for he had more important matters to attend to.


    After a year of uninterrupted use of the Lamp Technique, his Golden Core Fifth Layer cultivation level was thoroughly consolidated, ready to pick and consume the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    Chen Mobai, riding the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± arrived at Xiao Nanshan.


    Before he even touched down, he saw surging Yin Yun Spiritual Qi at the mountain¡¯s peak, with a slender figure at the center from which a faint red light shone out, resembling a blooming red flower.


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai paused, careful not to disturb Han Zhiling¡¯s Foundation Establishment with his arrival.


    He closed his eyes and employed the Echoes in the Void, listening to the melody of the spiritual-power conglomerate¡¯s metamorphosis atop the peak.


    About three days later, accompanied by the final strand of Spiritual Energy being refined, the stringed melody also approached its end, quieting down completely.


    The Spiritual Energy dispersed, and the light faded.


    With a face full of joy, Han Zhiling opened her eyes, feeling the liquid Spiritual Power in her Dantian Qi Sea, which was now many times stronger, ready to test her new capabilities.


    Then she saw the youth sitting drinking tea under the Immortal Peach Tree not far away.


    ¡°Greetings to the Ancestor Master!¡±


    Startled, Han Zhiling quickly got up and came over to Chen Mobai, bowing to him with reverence.


    ¡°Stand up. As the first third-generation disciple under Xiao Nanshan to achieve Foundation Establishment, as your Ancestor Master, I have prepared three gifts for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile. With a light wave of his sleeve, three items had already landed on the tea table.


    They were a Qingyang Fire Seed, two Jade Slips, and a branch!


    ¡°Ancestor Master, aren¡¯t these too precious?¡±


    Han Zhiling didn¡¯t know what the jade slips and branch were but recognized the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    In Divine Wood Sect¡¯s market, such an item would fetch at least ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    And it was priceless.


    ¡°If you want to practice Cultivating Crimson Flame Sword Decree, this wood fire is the foundation. Actually, I considered directly providing you with a completely refined flame, but then your starting point would be too high. Without having to harmonize with the Qingyang fire, reaching higher realms later on might become an obstacle.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the purple Qingyang Fire Seed before him, which he had originally produced from the Magic Treasure Tree. By cultivating with pure effort, he had grown and ascended alongside the fire seed, laying a solid foundation for the cultivation of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°The Ancestor Master¡¯s arrangements must be correct!¡±


    Han Zhiling took every word Chen Mobai said as profound truth. After hearing his words, she began to imagine her invincible elegance after mastering the Sword Sha.


    ¡°These two Jade Slips, one contains the Crimson Flame Sword Decree that I deduced to suit you, which can be cultivated to Perfection in Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°The other slip contains my insights into this sword technique over the years, with accompanying Sword Dao Realm and related Sword Talisman making techniques for you to consider which path to take.¡±


    ¡°As for this last branch, it is from Everlife Wood that I trimmed when I perfected the Extreme Sun Slash. Previously, Brother Mo Douguang obtained something similar in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Now it has become the famous Longevity Sword, so consider it a reflection of my expectations for you.¡±


    These three gifts from Chen Mobai could support Han Zhiling until she reached the Golden Core Realm.


    In all of Eastern Wilderness, only he could offer such a generous gesture.


    After hearing this, Han Zhiling¡¯s excited face flushed red, unable to utter a word; she could only kowtow repeatedly to the youth, majestic and refined, sitting under the Immortal Peach Tree as her Ancestor Master.


    ¡°Now I will teach you the Purification Technique for refining Qingyang fire¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai provided Han Zhiling with various commonly needed pieces of knowledge after her breakthrough, imparted some minor spells, and then sent her to find Gu Yan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Following the breakthrough, Han Zhiling¡¯s status within Divine Wood Sect needed to be re-registered and amended, collecting her range of benefits, and she also had to apply for entry to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Considering there was much to handle, Chen Mobai summoned Gu Yan and had her take Han Zhiling to sort out these trivial matters.


    After the two women had left, Chen Mobai looked up at the Immortal Peach Tree, where five lustrous and plump peaches hung ripe.


    These Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits had ripened easily, thanks to the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    However, at that time, Chen Mobai had just reached Golden Core Fifth Layer, so he stabilized for a while, waited until now, making sure his realm was completely solidified and his foundations secure before coming to harvest.

 Chapter 1254 - Chapter 1254 Chapter 689 Gold Core 6th Level_2

    Chapter 1254: Chapter 689 Gold Core 6th Level_2 Chapter 1254: Chapter 689 Gold Core 6th Level_2 Chen Mobai utilized the Listening with Empty Valley Echo and chose one that was relatively the fullest.


    In reality, each fruit contained nearly the same amount of energy.


    After plucking it, he directly bit into it.


    The taste was no different from that of a Rank-3, melting instantly upon entering his mouth. It felt like a gentle stream of Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid flowing through the twelve-story building, seamlessly merging into every part of his body, refined by Chen Mobai into vast Spiritual Power using the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Under his Divine Sense, the Rank-4 Spiritual Energy on the mountaintop seemed like streams of air rushing towards him, and in an instant, its momentum surpassed that of Han Zhiling¡¯s Foundation Establishment by dozens of times.


    Soon, the entire mountaintop was enveloped by Yin Yun Spiritual Qi, resembling a Fairy Mountain amidst clouds and mist.


    With the influx and refinement of Spiritual Energy, Chen Mobai quickly noticed a substantial increase in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    In just a few breaths, it was equivalent to a month or two of his meditative breathing.


    Yet, the effect of the Immortal Peach Fruit had only been utilized by about one percent.


    Suppressing the joy in his heart, Chen Mobai began to focus on absorbing and refining the Peach Fruit with Spiritual Energy.


    However, he soon encountered a problem.


    That was, there seemed to be insufficient Spiritual Energy.


    Because Chen Mobai had just broken through at the Immortal Gate, he did not go to Danxia Mountain this time to avoid any signs of another breakthrough.


    After all, one year was too short a time, which even the Qualification of Deification couldn¡¯t explain¨Cwasn¡¯t it blatantly showing the Immortal Gate that he had an incredible opportunity!


    Although Chen Mobai liked to show off, this was a bit too high-profile.


    In fact, the fourth-grade lower class Spirit Vein of Xiao Nanshan would have been fine for a normal, gradual breakthrough.


    But after consuming this Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, Chen Mobai refined a year or even years¡¯ worth of Spiritual Energy in an extremely short amount of time.


    This led to a supply shortage of Spiritual Energy in Xiao Nanshan.


    However, Chen Mobai was experienced.


    Two methods immediately flashed through his mind.


    One was to seal the potency of the Immortal Peach Fruit within his body and slowly refine it over time.


    The other was to use Spirit Stones to make up for the lacking Spiritual Energy!


    Generally, cultivators would choose the first method as it stabilizes the foundation, prevents any superficial expansion of Spiritual Power, and the physical body wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the rapid refinement of Spiritual Energy during a brief period, leading to injuries.


    Yet, Chen Mobai chose the second method.


    He had the Flame Lighting Technique and the Longevity Dao Body, which meant he could remedy these issues later.


    The Sect of Realms definitely had to seize any opportunity that could rapidly enhance their realm.


    But just as he was about to pour out a pile of Superior Quality Spirit Stones from his domain, he remembered the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone he had placed here a year ago.


    With a thought of Divine Sense, Chen Mobai had already drawn it into his palm.


    With his current realm, a Superior Quality Spirit Stone certainly wouldn¡¯t be sufficient.


    Using this half-charged Supreme-grade Spirit Stone would avoid the hassle of changing stones.


    Plus, after using it, he could recharge it again¨Csaving and environmentally friendly.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and started to absorb the vast Spiritual Energy from this Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.


    In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.


    Seated atop Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai, relying on his Longevity Dao Body, worked tirelessly day and night and finally refined the entire Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    At this moment, his Pure Yang Spiritual Power inside him surged to its peak and could no longer be enhanced.


    This was a sign of encountering another bottleneck!


    Feeling his current realm, a slight smile appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that a Rank-4 Immortal Peach could directly perfect his recently broken through Golden Core Fifth Layer.


    Even with the utmost resources and the addition of the elixir ¡°Golden Crow Bearing The Sun,¡± it would normally take at least ten years to reach this level.


    One peach had saved him ten years of hard work. This made Chen Mobai even more convinced that his path was the correct one.


    He looked up at the other four Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits still hanging on the branch, his smile growing wider.


    With a thought, Pure Yang Purple Qi and Blood Spirit Pills emerged from the Void.


    Because this time the perimeter was perfected through external means at the Golden Core Fifth Layer, he couldn¡¯t naturally initiate a breakthrough and had to use Elixirs to overcome it.


    Among these, the Blood Spirit Pills were used in the Tianhe Realm to enhance early to mid phase, and mid to late phase.


    But compared to the Pure Yang Purple Qi, Chen Mobai would rather use this Elixir.


    Because the chances of the Blood Spirit Pill aiding in breaking through the mid Foundation Establishment stage bottleneck weren¡¯t high, it was said to be only about ten to twenty percent.


    Using it here might just be appropriate.


    However, Chen Mobai had already prepared himself to use up the Pure Yang Purple Qi as well.


    After all, once external substances are used up, one could always find ways to accumulate them again.


    But if one¡¯s realm got stuck, then too much time would be wasted.


    Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t allow himself to be trapped by the mere bottleneck of the Golden Core Fifth Layer, especially with so many resources at his disposal.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai hesitated no longer and swallowed the last Blood Spirit Pill.


    Time quickly passed by another month.


    The light from the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand had dimmed significantly, looking as though it would be completely exhausted soon, two bright beams of light cut through the clouds at the mountain summit.


    Feeling the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea breaking through the bottleneck under the influence of the last trace of the Blood Spirit Pill¡¯s power, a look of fortune crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He had already taken the glass tube containing the Pure Yang Purple Qi in his palm, ready to open it.


    Luckily, it was ultimately conserved.


    Golden Core Sixth Layer!


    Soon, the joy of breaking through his realm surged in his heart, and Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help laughing out loud.


    He stood up, looked towards the horizon where clouds drifted leisurely, and the rice fields below resembled a sea, then took out his mobile phone.


    He checked the biography of the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    When Chen Mobai saw that Yuanyang Ancestor had broken through to the Golden Core Sixth Layer at the age of 66, the proud expression on his face immediately faded.


    He was also 66 this year.


    To think that after using so many resources, he was only on par with the Yuanyang Ancestor; it seemed he still needed to push himself even harder.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai looked up at the remaining four Immortal Peach Fruits.


    With the consumption of the second peach fruit, the effect was only half of the first one, and the third one half of the second¡­


    This meant that even if Chen Mobai consumed all four remaining fruits, their combined effect would only be ninety-four percent as effective as the first one.


    But even though it was less, it could still save him nine and a half years of arduous cultivation.


    Chen Mobai hesitated no longer and directly plucked all four peach fruits, planning to stabilize his realm and detoxify the Blood Spirit Pill¡¯s poison before consuming and refining all of them.


    After sealing the peach fruits, Chen Mobai placed the much-dimmed Supreme-grade Spirit Stone back at its original charging spot.


    He then activated the Cloud Mist Array.


    Han Zhiling and Gu Yan had been waiting in the mid-mountain tea garden for a long time.


    Seeing the mist dissipate from the mountaintop, the two women waited a bit longer until Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense transmitted a summoning message before they dared to ascend.


    Gu Yan, ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Han Zhiling, ¡°Greetings, Grandmaster!¡±


    Chen Mobai had already reseated himself under the Immortal Peach Tree, he gestured for them to rise.


    After Gu Yan stood, she immediately came to his side to help condense water for brewing tea.


    Meanwhile, Han Zhiling began recounting the events she encountered in Divine Wood City after her Foundation Establishment.


    As a third-generation disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, and with Gu Yan accompanying her, she had received the finest courtyard and storefront in Divine Wood City.


    The Spirit Vein Division even planned to give her a Cave Dwelling for cultivation that contained a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein, although the spot was somewhat small, and she needed to tend to the nearby hundred acres of medicine fields.


    However, with Xiao Nanshan behind her and feeling that she lacked the energy for such care, Han Zhiling tactfully declined.


    After obtaining the courtyard and storefront, Yue Zutao and Quan Shanlin both personally made an appearance, inviting her to join the two main divisions of Rewarding Virtue and Punishing Vice.


    Besides them, other leaders from the Twelve Divisions also stepped forward.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    These previously aloof high-ranking sect cultivators expressed an unprecedentedly warm and enthusiastic attitude toward her.


    This deeply made her realize the class leap brought by the advancement in cultivation level!


    Although she had been a third-generation disciple of Xiao Nanshan before, she hadn¡¯t established her foundation, and all was in vain.


    Now, after her Foundation Establishment, she was finally recognized by everyone as a true core disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    Chen Mobai, ¡°The Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, where would you like to go?¡±

 Chapter 1255 - Chapter 1255 Chapter 690 Military Manifestation Sutra Water

    Chapter 1255: Chapter 690: Military Manifestation Sutra, Water Vein and Fire Vein Submission Chapter 1255: Chapter 690: Military Manifestation Sutra, Water Vein and Fire Vein Submission ¡°Master, I wish to join the Alchemy Department.¡±


    Facing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Han Zhiling thought for a moment and expressed her most sincere desire.


    ¡°To follow in your father¡¯s footsteps, eh? Good, the Xiao Nanshan Lineage just so happens to be lacking a skilled alchemist.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with approval upon hearing this.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s only shortcoming right now is the absence of a Rank-4 alchemist.


    Zeng Woyou¡¯s potential had been exhausted; this was his life¡¯s limit.


    Yan Jinye had been nurtured for a long time, but according to Chen Mobai¡¯s observation, he was likely only going to reach Foundation Establishment.


    Now that the Divine Wood Sect had acquired the Mysterious Arcane Elixir Scripture, which included Rank-4 alchemy techniques, it was time to focus on training someone.


    It so happened that Han Zhiling had an exceptional Fire Spirit Root and was also his own disciple. If successfully trained, there would no longer be a need to seek outsiders to refine items such as Golden Liquid Jade Pills.


    Not long after, Zeng Woyou, having been notified by Gu Yan, arrived at Xiao Nanshan.


    Over the years, Yan Jinye had successfully refined several batches of legitimate Foundation Building Pills. As Zeng Woyou aged, the head of the Alchemy Department planned to entrust the refining of the batches required for the upcoming major sect competition to this disciple.


    Zeng Woyou intended to fight for advancement in his cultivation in the last years of his life, striving to experience the realm of Core Formation.


    He had shared this aspiration several times with Yue Zutao, the sect manager, and even thought that Chen Mobai had summoned him because of this.


    When he learned that Han Zhiling wanted to enter the Alchemy Department, and that he, as the head of the department, was to mentor her, Zeng Woyou naturally nodded in agreement, ¡°Sect Leader has obtained the Longevity Sect¡¯s Elixir Scripture; your alchemy skills are the best in the sect. It is indeed a joyous occasion that sister Han wishes to inherit your mantle.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had never personally demonstrated his alchemy prowess within the sect, Zeng Woyou knew well that ten of himself put together would still not match him in alchemy; thus, his words came from the heart.


    After arranging things for Han Zhiling, Chen Mobai dealt with other accumulated miscellaneous matters within the sect, then proceeded to Northern Abyss City to preside over the major affairs.


    Jiang Zongheng happened to be in Rock Country at the time. Hearing of Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, he immediately reported the progress of the unification effort of the mortal realm.


    After the death of King Han, the eldest and second princes had begun fighting over the throne, causing previously reclaimed areas like Yun Country, Rain Country, and Lei Nation to fall into rebellion once again, tearing the vast Jian Country apart in an instant.


    King Zhao of Rock Country escaped the disaster of national annihilation and immediately showcased the demeanor of a sovereign ruler!


    He took advantage of the second prince¡¯s retreat with King Han¡¯s body to reclaim the strategically lost territories of his country.


    Afterwards, King Zhao originally planned to regain Xiao Country and Rainbow Country, but Duan Shuyu suggested focusing the military forces on seizing Lei Nation instead.


    Because Lei Nation controlled the pass between the plateau and the plains, Duan Shuyu had managed to defend impeccably against an army several times larger than his own, thanks to this advantage. If it weren¡¯t for the surprise attack from behind, Jian Country¡¯s forces might still be stuck outside the walls of Lei Nation.


    Once Lei Nation was secured and the pass controlled, it would be easier to recover and watch the internal strife of Jian Country unfold.


    Xiao Country and Rainbow Country would inevitably fall into Rock Country¡¯s hands as well.


    King Zhao accepted the advice and appointed Duan Shuyu as the Great General.


    During the time Chen Mobai was secluded for refining the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, Rock Country had already conquered the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau and was recuperating and preparing the military for a unified grand battle.


    ¡°The very image of a ruler!¡±


    After finishing his briefing, Chen Mobai commented on King Zhao, then inquired about this Duan Shuyu.


    ¡°Master, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. Not long ago, King Zhao sent someone to invite me out of seclusion to lead a team, and that person was Duan Shuyu. I found out that he possesses an Innate Spirit Body.¡±


    This intrigued Chen Mobai immediately.


    Having been in the Eastern Wilderness for nearly fifty years, he had never encountered someone with an Innate Spirit Body.


    ¡°Can you confirm which type?¡±


    ¡°Gold!¡±


    The Longevity Academy, just outside Northern Abyss City, had all the necessary magic artifacts to test various Spiritual Roots and Spirit Bodies. When Jiang Zongheng noticed Duan Shuyu¡¯s brilliant Spiritual Light and intense vitality, he immediately took him to verify his suspicions.


    As expected, it turned out that Duan Shuyu possessed an Innate Golden Spirit Body.


    ¡°What do you think of this person?¡± Chen Mobai asked.


    Jiang Zongheng, knowing his master¡¯s character, did not hesitate and immediately spoke his mind.


    ¡°Disciple wishes to take him as a student.¡±


    Given the current state of the mortal realm, the vigorous and young King Zhao was bound to become a ruler.


    Although Jiang Zongheng was full of strategies, his main focus in the future would definitely be on battles among cultivators. The mortal realm¡¯s army still needed a reliable confidant.


    Duan Shuyu had emerged as the indisputable top general in the wars of the past years in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although not young, his Innate Spirit Body meant that, once the mortal ordeal was over, with the support of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, reaching Foundation Establishment shouldn¡¯t be an issue.

    Moreover, if Duan Shuyu were successfully trained, the Divine Wood Sect wouldn¡¯t have to worry about leadership issues when contending with other major sects in the future.


    ¡°He can start as a nominal disciple, similar to Wen Bo.¡±


    ¡°This is the Qi Cultivation chapter of the White Emperor Military Formation Scripture; take it and teach it to that Duan Shuyu.¡±


    ¡°If he can master it and achieve Foundation Establishment, he might very well be the one to take charge of offensive operations within the Xiao Nanshan Lineage in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s admiration for talent was well-known; during these years of unifying the mortal realm, the name he heard most was that of Duan Shuyu, leaving a deeper impression than those princes exhibiting the manner of rulers.

 Chapter 1256 - Chapter 1256 Chapter 690 The Art Of War Manifestation Water

    Chapter 1256: Chapter 690: The Art Of War Manifestation, Water Vein and Fire Vein Submit (2) Chapter 1256: Chapter 690: The Art Of War Manifestation, Water Vein and Fire Vein Submit (2) Upon hearing the mention of Innate Gold Spirit Body, he immediately thought of the Gold Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect that lay at the bottom of his storage bag.


    Before the Heavenly Sovereign had ascended to his Dao, he was merely a spirit plant.


    The most profound and terrifying memory he had was of each autumn.


    Autumn represents the executioner, associated with Yin; it also symbolizes armies, where metal is utilized, considered the righteous qi of heaven and earth, always signifying a grim and killing intent at its heart.


    The White Emperor Military Formation Scripture was created by the Heavenly Sovereign to overcome his weakness, condensing an aura of heaven and earth¡¯s grim killing intent, to temper himself.


    It was said that the Heavenly Sovereign was able to detach from his spirit plant form and take on an incarnation for travel, thanks to the fully developed aura of heaven and earth¡¯s grim killing intent which allowed him to sever a branch from his own body.


    Jiang Zongheng respectfully took the White Emperor Military Formation Scripture and departed.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s approval, the third generation of disciples in Xiao Nanshan gained another member.


    The year 6527 of the Yuan era!


    The internal strife within Jian Country ended, the Second Prince rebelled, stormed into the royal capital, and killed the Crown Prince.


    Just as the Second Prince was preparing to ascend the throne, the fully recovered army of Rock Country emerged from Lei Nation. Under the leadership of Duan Shuyu, they captured twenty-seven cities within merely three months and advanced directly into Jian Country¡¯s territory.


    The valiant Second Prince, facing domestic and foreign troubles, had no choice but to carry out a large-scale purge, slaughtering all who did not submit to him, and forcibly suppressing all dissenting voices within. He led the remaining forces of Jian Country to the wilderness for a final decisive battle against Duan Shuyu.


    One battle would determine the fate of Qiankun¨CJian Country suffered a great defeat.


    The Second Prince was forcefully taken by his subordinates to flee back to the capital, but that very night, he took his own life with a sword beside the unburied coffin of King Han.


    Seven days later, Jian Country opened its gates to surrender!


    The year 6528 of the Yuan era!


    King Zhao dispatched Duan Shuyu to quell the rebels in Yun Country and Rain Country. After six months, he officially incorporated the territories of these two countries into his domain.


    Thenceforth, the seven nations under the Divine Wood Sect were united!


    Afterward, King Zhao personally arrived outside Beiyuan Immortal City, requesting the Immortal Master to come down from the mountain!


    A month later, Jiang Zongheng took over the position of Grand Tutor.


    During his tenure, the Grand Tutor focused on agriculture and sericulture, rewarded military achievements, standardized measurements, established the county system, and governed the nation by law. He quickly stabilized Rock Country¡¯s rule and established an unprecedentedly large empire in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The year 6530 of the Yuan era!


    The recuperating Rock Country sent troops against Mist Country and Fire Country.


    During the chaos of war, the monarchs of these two countries saw an opportunity and occupied much of Rain Country¡¯s plentiful lands. Despite Rock Country¡¯s repeated demands, they had not returned the territories.


    Per the Grand Tutor¡¯s orders, Duan Shuyu led the troops on campaign; within a month, he broke through the allied forces of the two countries and even penetrated into the homelands of Mist Country and Fire Country.


    In a critical moment, the monarchs of both countries had no choice but to seek help from the Five Elements Sect.


    What followed was a premeditated battle among cultivators.


    First, the Qi Cultivating disciples of the water and fire veins were defeated by the Cultivator Families from Rain Country summoned by Grand Tutor Jiang. Then came the Foundation Establishment, followed by the arrival of the two mightiest.


    Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi.


    Facing the Golden Core Cultivators, the Righteous Cultivators from Rock Country were beaten back step by step.


    Grand Tutor Jiang had no choice but to turn to the Shenmu Immortal Sect, seeking assistance from his own Master, who was also the foremost leader of the Righteous Path in the Eastern Wilderness, Immortal Venerate Chen!


    At this time, Chen Mobai had just refined the remaining four Immortal Peaches, his cultivation level approaching the perfection of the Jindan Sixth Layer.


    You must understand, both Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi had undergone two hundred years of bitter cultivation to reach this very realm.


    It¡¯s worth mentioning that the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit had increased Chen Mobai¡¯s wood, water, and earth spirit roots by 8 points each¨Ca doubling of the effects of the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    He didn¡¯t pay much attention to the wood and water spirit roots, but used this opportunity to boost his earth spirit root to 60 points.


    Of course, he did not forget to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm to obtain four new grand spells.


    The history books recorded that for the sake of the common people, to eradicate warfare, Immortal Venerate Chen, alongside the three Golden Core Cultivators, Meng Luo, descended from Immortal City to the plateau!


    He also invited the sword dao grandmaster of Golden Cliff, True Person Mo, to assist in breaking the Water and Fire Array.


    True Persons Nu and Sheng fought to cover the retreat of their disciples, were defeated and captured but did not submit.


    Immortal Venerate Chen ordered their release and challenged them to a duel on the expanse of Yunmeng Great Marsh. Single-handedly with his sword, he defeated them again.


    In the end, the Five Elements Sect¡¯s two Golden Core Cultivators from the water and fire veins graciously accepted defeat, pledged allegiance, recognizing the wood vein as the main vein of the Five Elements.


    Without the support of the Five Elements Sect, the six nations¨CMist, Fire, Clear, Bright, Spring, Sunny¨Calthough they organized a coalition in resistance, crumbled at a single blow when faced with Duan Shuyu¡¯s army.


    ¡°After a single battle, six nations fell.


    Now, of the original nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, Divine Wood Sect had already occupied the territories of thirteen nations.


    The cultivators from Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, upon hearing of the great defeat of the Five Elements Sect, were all feeling a sense of personal danger.


    They were deeply afraid that Divine Wood Sect¡¯s next target would be their own sects.


    ¡°What a useless guy Zhou Ye is, Ancestor Hun Yuan left behind such a rich legacy, and he¡¯s managed to squander it until only Ming Nation remains¡­¡±


    In Back to Sky Valley, Yan Shaoyin, amid worries, lamented Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s lifetime of glory, yet his choice in a successor had been so poor.


    ¡°Master, after Duan Shuyu conquered six nations, aside from the main force besieging Ming Nation, he also dispatched an army opposite Flower Country¡¯s border near our sect for training.¡±


    He Jintong reported news that made Yan Shaoyin¡¯s eyebrows knit tightly together, yet he didn¡¯t believe Divine Wood Sect would dare to make a move on Flower Country.


    Because although this place was nominally theirs, Back to Sky Valley, in reality, it was used by Star Heaven Dao Sect for planting Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.


    Even when Ancestor Hun Yuan was alive, they had to give face to Back to Sky Valley because of this.


    ¡°Tell this to the people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, let them question Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    He Jintong immediately obeyed and went down.


    When left alone, Yan Shaoyin sighed, and his entire being seemed to have aged considerably.


    After Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi submitted to Divine Wood Sect, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in Divine Wood Sect even exceeded that of Five Elements Sect at its peak.


    And their Back to Sky Valley, even with him, an Alchemy Grandmaster supporting them, to this day, the second Golden Core Cultivator still showed no sign of emerging.


    If they wanted to preserve the heritage of Back to Sky Valley, it seemed that only I could take that step!


    Thinking of this, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s expression solidified.


    This was also the only solution to break the situation that he could think of, and if successful, he could even counter and swallow up Divine Wood Sect to create a superpower that would surpass the three major sects of the East Barbarians.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one with such thoughts.


    ¡­


    Kong Lingling, within the forbidden ground of the cave, endured the excruciating pain of her belly being ripped open, her eyes burning as she watched the monster crawl out from the wound under her ribs.


    This infant was greenish-yellow all over, with transparent wings on its back, bulging eyes like rubies, and transverse teeth that stuck out from its lips.


    Neither human nor ghost!


    Seeing the appearance of the monster, Kong Lingling felt disgusted, but upon feeling the strong Earth Fire spiritual power contained within it, she immediately suppressed her feeling of revulsion and gently called out.


    ¡°Child, come here, I am your mother¡­¡±


    The monster looked up at Kong Lingling and instinctively began to crawl toward her, following the sense of connection through their blood.


    ¡­


    Northern Abyss City!


    Chen Mobai was receiving someone from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, it took our sect a thousand years of hard work and bitter effort to cultivate ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice in Flower Country. Several Supreme Elders also often inquire about this matter¡­¡±


    Lou Xuelong wasn¡¯t very interested in the internal strife of the Five Elements Sect.


    He also didn¡¯t believe Divine Wood Sect would dare invade Flower Country, but since Back to Sky Valley had come to complain, as the current person in charge of this side of the Eastern Wilderness, it was a good time to emphasize Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s importance on the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice when visiting to inspect the spiking of Dari Purple Rice in Rainbow Country.


    ¡°This is a misunderstanding, aside from reclaiming the Five Elements Sect, our sect will absolutely not initiate an attack on the other paths of Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Of course, Chen Mobai denied it, confronting Star Heaven Dao Sect at the least had to wait until after he achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    The main point now was to make a display of power, to press Yan Shaoyin, and speed things up a little.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley are both good partners of our commerce guild, and I do not wish to see conflict arise between you two.¡±


    With the assurance from Chen Mobai, Lou Xuelong didn¡¯t linger on the topic.

    After having tea for a while, Zhuo Ming arrived through the Teleportation Array.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Ming¡¯er, True Person Lou has specially come to check on the situation of the Dari Purple Rice, and as your master has other urgent matters, could you please accompany him to Rainbow Country to take a look?¡±


    Zhuo Ming: ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Lou Xuelong didn¡¯t come alone this time but brought a team of Spirit Plant Masters from Star Heaven Dao Sect who would comprehensively evaluate the cultivation situation of the Dari Purple Rice.


    After this group of people left, the long-awaited Jiang Zongheng came in.¡±

 Chapter 1257 - Chapter 1257 Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan Golden Liquid Jade Pill

    Chapter 1257: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill Chapter 1257: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill After the Water and Fire Veins of the Five Elements Sect surrendered, the previously unstoppable army of Rock Country found themselves unexpectedly halted at the border of Ming Nation.


    In an instant, Duan Shuyu, whose fame shone as bright as the sun, suffered a blow to his reputation and was even impeached in the Imperial Court.


    However, this was mainly because negotiations between Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect had not yet concluded.


    Jiang Zongheng personally went to the front line to represent Chen Mobai in negotiations with Chun Yusu, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect.


    At first, Chun Yusu was unyielding, stating that unless Divine Wood Sect returned the territories of the six nations and also released the two elders from Nu Jiang captured by Divine Wood Sect, all negotiations were off the table.


    With such terms, Jiang Zongheng did not respond.


    Since the Five Elements Sect could not let go of their pride and recognize the reality, it was decided to fight first.


    No mortal army, even if Ming Nation¡¯s power was multiplied by tenfold, could block Duan Shuyu, a peerless great general.


    With orders from Jiang Zongheng, Duan Shuyu, like a tiger released from its cage, quickly conquered most of Ming Nation¡¯s territory, advancing to the Royal Capital of Ming Nation within just a month.


    There, the army was stopped.


    Because Cultivators of the Earth Vein from the Five Elements Sect had intervened.


    Under these circumstances, Jiang Zongheng also personally arrived on the frontline battlefield, summoning cultivators from the mountains and peaks that had surrendered to Divine Wood Sect to ignite another great war among cultivators.


    Although Zhou Ye possessed the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, this was now the only concern for Divine Wood Sect.


    And to maintain this deterrent, Zhou Ye inevitably could not leave Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Not engaging in battle with even Core Formation cultivators, the quantity and strength of Earth Vein cultivators from the Five Elements Sect were slightly inferior to Grand Tutor Jiang¡¯s side.


    This was because Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was not so ruthless; he didn¡¯t want to give Zhou Ye a chance to take away decades of his accumulated effort, hence he didn¡¯t send Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Divine Wood Sect.


    Except for Jiang Zongheng.


    Because this disciple was the key link at the frontline; without him, it was impossible to summon so many cultivators willing to help Divine Wood Sect.


    Jiang Zongheng volunteered for this role, and Chen Mobai could have stopped him, but he knew this was where his disciple¡¯s Dao Heart lay, and if not fulfilled, he could not pass the Heart Demon stage of Core Formation.


    After agreeing, Chen Mobai gave Jiang Zongheng a Short Teleportation Talisman and a Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman infused with his own Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai had only heard of the power of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, so he didn¡¯t know if these talismans would be effective, but they were the best lifesaving items he could provide.


    The reason Jiang Zongheng decided to risk himself was because he saw very clearly.


    He knew that Ming Nation was the only, and the largest obstacle to uniting the Eastern Wilderness, and the sooner it was dealt with, the better.


    And the key to Ming Nation was Zhou Ye.


    As long as he remained in Hunyuan Immortal City, no Divine Wood Sect Core Formation Cultivator dared to set foot in Ming Nation¡¯s territory.


    If he could use his own life to exchange with Zhou Ye, a fellow Core Formation Cultivator, Jiang Zongheng was willing to sacrifice his life for an unprecedented great unification.


    Clearly, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s actions were not enough.


    Before the Royal Capital of Ming Nation, cultivators from both sides engaged in a massive battle without the support of Foundation Establishment Practitioners from Divine Wood Sect, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not very large.


    But as time passed, with assistance coming more and more, an increasing number of cultivators from almost half of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s Cultivator Families and Sects came under Grand Tutor Jiang¡¯s command, even those from territories of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace who traveled thousands of miles to lend their aid.


    Under these circumstances, the Large Formation jointly set up by the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect was only sustained for three months before it was completely shattered.


    After the Royal Capital of Ming Nation was breached, Jiang Zongheng, seizing the opportunity, once again led his allied cultivator army and took possession of the most crucial Medium Spirit Stone Mine of the Five Elements Sect.


    The Five Elements Sect had two Medium Spirit Stone Mines, one in Fire Country guarded by Sheng Zhaoxi.


    And the other was here in Ming Nation, also the largest source of Spirit Stones for the entire Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Although the Five Elements Sect had accumulated a considerable stock of Spirit Stones over the years, now, to prepare for the imminent great battle, a Rank-4 Large Formation needed to be constantly activated.


    Such consumption could, at most, be maintained for about twenty years.


    This situation made the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect realize one thing!


    The momentum had passed!


    But since they had already failed in direct combat, now only having the power to defend the city, Chun Yusu dared not lead the Earth Vein cultivators to that Spirit Stone Mine.


    Unless Zhou Ye made a move!


    But facing Jiang Zongheng¡¯s seemingly suicidal behavior, this Core Formation Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect was still indifferent, extremely cautious, and did not take a single step out of the city.


    A month later, Jiang Zongheng sent another letter to negotiate with Chun Yusu.


    This time, Chun Yusu¡¯s attitude was completely different.


    He only requested to maintain Ming Nation¡¯s independence, conceding the six nations as well as the Water and Fire Veins, and even agreed to cede everything else as long as they could reclaim the Medium Spirit Stone Mine in Ming Nation¡¯s mainland.


    But now it was Jiang Zongheng¡¯s turn.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He demanded the entirety of Hunyuan Immortal City and even the whole of Ming Nation from the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Earth Vein. In exchange, he would allow them to use the Teleportation Array to leave the Eastern Wilderness.


    Which meant he wanted everything!


    At this, Chun Yusu was so enraged that he flipped the table.


    After another two months of stalemate, any cultivator who left Hunyuan Immortal City could not return.


    Even though the Medium Transporting Formation within the Immortal City was still operational, since all the Fang Markets that could be accessed through it were under the control of Divine Wood Sect, they couldn¡¯t procure essentials like Spirit Rice needed by cultivators.

 Chapter 1258 - Chapter 1258 Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan Golden Liquid Jade

    Chapter 1258: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill_2 Chapter 1258: Chapter 691 Nirvana Dan, Golden Liquid Jade Pill_2 Even without Spirit Rice, there were things like Fasting Pills, but at most, they could only last for a few years.


    Chun Yusu had never regretted so much why he didn¡¯t stock up more Fasting Pills, as one could buy an entire bottle for a single Spirit Stone.


    It was only that there were two secret Teleportation Arrays that served as escape routes, but the Divine Wood Sect had already taken over most of the Eastern Wilderness. Even if the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Earth Vein could leave the Hunyuan Immortal City, they would still end up in these areas.


    Nevertheless, Chun Yusu still sent out people, hoping to escape the pursuit of the Divine Wood Sect and enter the territory of Back to Sky Valley to purchase enough Fasting Pills for a protracted battle.


    But reality quickly dealt Chun Yusu a heavy blow.


    One of the direct disciples he had sent out, Feng Zicheng, went straight to Jiang Zongheng and pledged his loyalty after using the Teleportation Array.


    Subsequently, one of the two Teleportation Arrays from Hunyuan Immortal City that could lead outside was sealed off.


    Under such circumstances, Chun Yusu dared not use the other Teleportation Array any longer.


    For he felt that since Feng Zicheng could betray him, no one else could be trusted.


    Trapped in a situation with nowhere to turn, he had no choice but to approach Zhou Ye again.


    Did Chun Yusu not realize that facing Jiang Zongheng, he no longer had any bargaining chips?


    But without Zhou Ye¡¯s approval, even if he agreed, it wouldn¡¯t count.


    Three visits a day, and after half a month, Chun Yusu finally received a letter personally written by Zhou Ye.


    Afterward, this letter was delivered to Northern Abyss City by Jiang Zongheng himself.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading it, he casually handed it to the disciple beside him.


    Jiang Zongheng received it respectfully and saw the content written on it.


    [I invite Sect Master Chen to a meeting at Hunyuan Immortal City!]


    After finishing reading, Jiang Zongheng said only one sentence, ¡°Master¡¯s life is worth its weight in gold, and he must not risk his true body. Whatever demands there are, your disciple is willing to enter Hunyuan Immortal City and convey them on his behalf!¡±


    After the Water and Fire Veins submitted to the Divine Wood Sect, Zhou Ye no longer had any means of turning the tables.


    The only reason he could sit securely in Hunyuan Immortal City was due to the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.


    Jiang Zongheng felt that the huge disparity between the Five Elements Sect being completely taken over by the Divine Wood Sect could potentially prompt Zhou Ye to act irrationally.


    Chen Mobai held a status that led the Divine Wood Sect to the peak, even potentially surpassing Ancestor Hunyuan.


    Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Jiang Zongheng could not risk his Master¡¯s life in Zhou Ye¡¯s hands.


    ¡°This is one of my Formless Puppet incarnations. I can divide my mind and thoughts to occupy it. Take it to Hunyuan Immortal City,¡± Chen Mobai took out a well-prepared Formless Puppet and handed it to Jiang Zongheng, whose expression brightened. He had never expected the existence of such a mystical puppet.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, the further the operator was from the puppet, the more rigid the puppet became. Therefore, when Puppet Masters dueled, if they wanted to exert their puppets¡¯ peak power, their true bodies were definitely hidden nearby.


    That was precisely why, in the past, when Nan Shidao was on the battlefield, he was slain by a sword strike from Mo Douguang.


    It was the first time Jiang Zongheng had heard about a Formless Puppet that could still operate normally despite being nearly the entire distance across the Eastern Wilderness.


    After Jiang Zongheng left, Chen Mobai saw another visitor.


    Ye Bopei from Back to Sky Valley had come to deliver Elixirs.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Back when Chen Mobai had his Core Formation ceremony, Ye Bopei had represented Back to Sky Valley in the celebrations and had become quite familiar to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°After many years, Disciple Ye has also reached Foundation Establishment Completion; perhaps in a short time, he could become one of our fellow Daoists.¡±


    Little did Chen Mobai know, upon hearing his words, Ye Bopei smiled bitterly and shook his head as he recounted a personal story.


    ¡°I do not dare to hide it from Sect Master Chen. Ten years ago, I took the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, and my Core Formation failed, but fortunately, I didn¡¯t die.¡±


    Upon hearing this from Ye Bopei, Chen Mobai also recalled the batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills that assisted his own Core Formation. Four pills were successful.


    The Divine Wood Sect took two, which he and Chu Zuoshu consumed.


    As for the two from Back to Sky Valley, it was only heard that He Jintong used one, while the whereabouts of the other were unknown.


    As the number of Foundation Establishment Completion Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect grew, Chen Mobai once thought of purchasing from Back to Sky Valley, not realizing they had already been used.


    ¡°Being alive means there¡¯s still a chance. Perhaps you could be like two of our Sect¡¯s Cultivators, Meng Luo, and cultivate a Heterodox Golden Core.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke casually to comfort him, but after hearing this, Ye Bopei¡¯s mind was stirred, and he pondered deeply.


    ¡°`


    But after all, Yan Shaoyin was still there, he suppressed the wild thoughts at the forefront of his mind and handed a bottle of elixir to Chen Mobai.


    Inside were two Nirvana Dans, which was his overt reason for coming this time.


    As per the oath between Chen Mobai and Yan Shaoyin, when the three alchemy recipes were initially obtained from the Longevity Elixir Scripture, both sides contributed half the materials, and upon successful alchemy would divide the results evenly.


    The Nirvana Dan had been refined long ago, but the content of Dan poison exceeded the standard, and there were flaws when forming the elixir, so it required the secret Yun Dan Technique of Back to Sky Valley to seal the formula, and it only met Yan Shaoyin¡¯s standards this year.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that the Nirvana Dan should have been unsealed quite a while ago.


    It was probably upon seeing the fate of the Five Elements Sect that Yan Shaoyin reluctantly dispatched Ye Bopei to deliver them.


    ¡°The poison content is a bit high, but it¡¯s barely usable,¡± Chen Mobai commented with a bit of criticism after examining the Nirvana Dan.


    The Nirvana Dan is used by the Immortal Gate to transform the bodies of cultivators, not only repairing bodily defects and purging impurities such as Dan poison, but also enhancing the Body Refining Technique by one level.


    However, due to the grade of the elixir, at most, it can only enhance the body¡¯s strength to the Third Rank Peak.


    Moreover, it can only resolve the Dan poison that has accumulated in the body and is useless for impurities within Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai also discovered another issue.


    That was the Nirvana Dan refined by Yan Shaoyin, although considered quite pure by standards of the other alchemists in the Eastern Wilderness, still contained some Dan poison.


    This meant that even if this elixir was used to resolve the Dan poison accumulated in the body, one would still be tainted by the poison of this elixir.


    However, this wasn¡¯t a big problem for Chen Mobai.


    The poison of a Third Rank elixir fell just within the resolving range of the Green Charm Spiritual Tea. Moreover, he had the Flame Lighting Technique, and if push came to shove, he could wait until he reached the second layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun where he would be immune to all poisons before consuming it.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Dao Body had been refined with the Longevity Dew for more than twenty years and had barely reached the intermediate grade Third Rank Peak level.


    Since his body no longer contained any Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, the speed at which he could cultivate this Body Refining Technique couldn¡¯t possibly be fast.


    If he were to cultivate according to the standard process, even with an endless supply of Longevity Dew, it would probably take at least another thirty years to reach the Foundation Establishment Completion.


    But by consuming this Nirvana Dan, he could directly save thirty years of time.


    Because Chen Mobai¡¯s body had no defects or Dan poison, the medicinal power of the Nirvana Dan could be fully used to enhance bodily strength.


    That¡¯s why he commented: barely usable!


    Ye Bopei, upon hearing this, dared not argue, because he was one of those who had personally overheard Chen Mobai guiding Yan Shaoyin in alchemy and knew that the Sect Leader Chen before him had received the true alchemy transmission of the Longevity Sect and was a genuine Alchemy Grandmaster.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the Golden Liquid Jade Pills have also been refined. This time my master was lucky; out of the six pills, five are of perfect quality, and one slightly flawed, requiring sealing and nurturing for some time.¡±


    After delivering the Nirvana Dan, Ye Bopei spoke of the second matter concerning his visit.


    ¡°Master Yan has worked hard.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai also responded with calmness and a customary courteous remark.


    According to the contract, their Divine Wood Sect could obtain three pills.


    One was designated for Yin Qingmei, and if the remaining two were contended for by people like Xie Yuntian, it might provoke no small disturbance within the sect¡¯s hierarchy.


    If all six were for their Divine Wood Sect, that would be ideal.


    This is what Chen Mobai thought when Ye Bopei had already begun stating the real purpose of his visit.


    ¡°After the Golden Liquid Jade Pills are complete, my master plans to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir and hopes that Sect Master Chen could help collect the other half of the ingredients that were previously agreed upon.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Finally, things were moving at the pace he had wanted.


    If Yan Shaoyin hadn¡¯t begun preparing for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he would have almost lost his patience and asked Jiang Zongheng to take action.


    ¡°Obtaining the auxiliary herbs for the Infant-Feeding Elixir is feasible, but the main ingredients are too precious; failing even one batch is something we can¡¯t afford¡­¡±


    However, outwardly, Chen Mobai still spoke with a heavy tone, seemingly reluctant.

    ¡°Master said,¡± Ye Bopei replied, ¡°that as long as Chen Mobai helps, he¡¯s willing to offer one Golden Liquid Jade Elixir as compensation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s not impossible to consider¡­¡±


    Ye Bopei interjected, ¡°Two pills.¡±


    Chen Mobai fell silent.

 Chapter 1259 - Chapter 1259 Chapter 692 Confluence of Two Rivers

    Chapter 1259: Chapter 692 Confluence of Two Rivers Chapter 1259: Chapter 692 Confluence of Two Rivers Chen Mobai simply wanted to express how difficult it was to collect a batch of Infant-Feeding Elixir ingredients and to reinforce Yan Shaoyin¡¯s determination, never expecting an unexpected gain.


    In fact, even if he had not produced the Golden Liquid Jade Pills, he would have agreed in the end.


    But since they were offered willingly, how could he refuse them?


    With these five Golden Liquid Jade Pills, it would be possible to somewhat balance out those cultivators in the Sect at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai became increasingly fond of Ye Bopei.


    He thought that once Yan Shaoyin died and Back to Sky Valley surrendered, this youngster could be put in charge.


    After E Yun sent Ye Bopei away, Chen Mobai started instructing Yue Zutao at Giant Tree Ridge to begin collecting the medicinal ingredients for the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    The auxiliary medicines were easy to discuss, but each of the twelve main medicinal ingredients was a rare treasure of heaven and earth.


    According to the contract, the Divine Wood Sect was responsible for six of them.


    Because Chen Mobai had given early instructions, Yue Zutao had basically prepared everything, just waiting for his command to harvest.


    However, only three types were available within the Sect, lacking the Rank-4 Tai Sui Flesh, Rank-4 Ice Heart Divine Lotus, and Rank-4 Sky Blue Silverlight Grass.


    Of these, the Ice Heart Divine Lotus was a supreme treasure of the Snow-blowing Palace. Chen Mobai had instructed Yue Zutao to negotiate with them in advance. Initially, Zhu Jinyu disagreed, but after the Divine Wood Sect secured the Water and Fire Veins of the Five Elements Sect, her attitude abruptly changed.


    A contract was set last year, agreeing that they could take it when needed, without paying any Spirit Stones, and requiring only a promise from Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect.


    That promise was that the Divine Wood Sect Monks would not attack the Snow-blowing Palace.


    In response, Chen Mobai readily promised that as long as the Snow-blowing Palace adhered to the righteous path and did not commit acts that harm heaven and reason, those under the Divine Wood Sect would definitely not invade the Snow-blowing Palace.


    As for the Sky Blue Silverlight Grass, it was not to be found in the Eastern Wilderness, but the Sun family in Dongwu had it.


    Chen Mobai wrote a letter and had Yu Lian make a trip to Wind Rain Hamlet to give it to Nu Jiang, hoping he would assist in negotiating with the Sun family there.


    The only one left was the Rank-4 Tai Sui Flesh, and that Chen Mobai would have to figure out by himself.


    However, the six main medicinal ingredients they were collecting were relatively easy to handle.


    You must know, among Immortal Gates, the most critical ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir was the Rank-5 Vermilion Fruit, which they did not have. Thus, after deliberating with Yan Shaoyin, they chose the Rank-5 Sun Holy Fruit from Sun Bathing Sea as a substitute.


    This was the most precious among the twelve main ingredients and also the most difficult to obtain.


    But Chen Mobai was very straightforward, stating that the Divine Wood Sect had an average relationship with Sun Bathing Sea and certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to request this ingredient. If Master Yan intended to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, then it was up to him to find a way to obtain the Sun Holy Fruit.


    Initially, Yan Shaoyin did not agree, but later he realized that he needed the Infant-Feeding Elixir more desperately, so he had no choice but to consent.


    Now, since Yan Shaoyin planned to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, it certainly meant that he had already found a way to obtain the Sun Holy Fruit from Sun Bathing Sea, or perhaps he had already acquired it.


    It was unclear whether it was due to Yan Shaoyin¡¯s own connections or the clout of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    However, Chen Mobai swiftly put this matter aside because he needed to figure out a way to level up the Tai Sui Flesh he had on hand.


    The Tai Sui was with Zhuo Ming, but she was currently entertaining people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and had no time to bring the Tai Sui over.


    Chen Mobai had wanted to go to Rainbow Country personally, but considering he had just told Lou Xuelong how busy he was, going there now would be a bit like slapping his own face. He decided to wait until after they finished observing the Dari Purple Rice flowering.


    He had no worries about Zhuo Ming¡¯s competency with Spirit Plants.


    He remembered that at the start, when that Golden Core Cultivator from Star Heaven Dao Sect, Gu Zhiqin, came over to guide the planting of Dari Purple Rice, he was full of pride, thinking that the small sects and schools of East Wasteland Village, without their full process oversight and assistance, would never succeed in cultivating such precious Spirit Rice!


    But later on, Zhuo Ming easily shocked Gu Zhiqin. She learned the entire procedure for planting Dari Purple Rice after only watching it once, and after practicing two or three times, she did it even better than the Sect Disciples brought by Gu Zhiqin from Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    When Gu Zhiqin left after two years, he even asked Zhuo Ming if she wanted to switch allegiances.


    This was, of course, firmly rejected by Zhuo Ming.


    This matter was later recounted to Chen Mobai by Zhuo Ming herself, and after hearing it, while he took pride, he also noted the name Gu Zhiqin.


    This was his first encounter with someone daring to poach from his Sect.


    The Star Heaven Dao Sect was not someone they could afford to provoke at the moment; reckonings would be settled in the future.


    For this reason, Chen Mobai did not wish to have too many interactions with people from the Star Heaven Dao Sect, to avoid difficulties when it came time to turn against them.


    Since they had to wait for the news from Nu Jiang anyway and Yue Zutao needed time to collect the rest of the auxiliary medicines, the matter of leveling up the Tai Sui Flesh could wait.


    It was during this time, coincidentally, that another event occurred which brought great joy.


    That was the completion and convergence of the Two Rivers.


    The super-project, originally planned to take twenty to thirty years, was surprisingly completed in nearly half the expected time.


    Since the opening of the Two Rivers, it had been exactly sixteen years.


    In the first five years, Zhuo Ming and the others were inexperienced, all exploring on their own. Though they hired Loose Cultivators from Northern Abyss City through E Yun, progress was slow.


    In the subsequent five years, the harvest of Spirit Rice had grown massively, drawing in Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and various Immortal Cultivation families. The project¡¯s pace finally caught up with the plan, booming with development.


    Another five years passed, and Chen Mobai personally took charge, intervening decisively. He arranged for Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment and elite Qi Cultivating Disciples to stay on the Eastern Desolation Plateau. Together with Luo Xue¡¯er refining Heterodox Golden Cores and Luo Yixuan no longer needing to conceal her Core Formation strength, the two, putting forth their full effort, made the excavation of the two great rivers progress more than threefold compared to before.


    In this final year, preparations for the convergence of the Two Rivers were actually underway.


    Today, at last, the work was complete!


    As Sect Leader and the chief person in charge of this project, Chen Mobai naturally rushed to the site immediately.


    The completion site of the Two Rivers convergence was precisely at the border of Sky Country, Rock Country, and Rainbow Country.


    This was the most fulfilling project in a century for the Sect, aside from wars. Especially since it was personally directed by Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, on this day, the Town Guards from all three countries brought their subordinates to attend.


    It was a day with gentle breezes and bright sunshine, clear skies as far as the eye could see.


    Chen Mobai stood on the banks of the convergence of the Two Rivers, looking down at the endless, surging streams below, and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    To his left and right stood Luo Yixuan and Luo Xue¡¯er, the two Golden Core Female Cultivators of the Sect.


    Since Luo Yixuan had condensed a Ghost Pill, to prevent Gu Zhiqin, sent by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, from detecting anything amiss, Chen Mobai used the excuse of being short on manpower to call this Disciple over to take Zhuo Ming¡¯s place in opening up the White River.


    It was initially said to be a temporary measure for two years, until Gu Zhiqin left, after which she would return.


    However, later on, Chen Mobai realized that with this Disciple present, he could worry less, and so he had her continue to oversee the opening of the Two Rivers.


    Behind the two women stood the three Town Guards: E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and Yan Yuanhao.


    Further out were forty-six Foundation Establishment Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect who had devoted much effort to this grand project.


    Initially, they had only wanted to please the Sect Leader¡¯s lineage and earn some Spirit Stones, but over the years, they forgot their original intentions. Witnessing the torrential convergence of the Two Rivers, their eyes began to shine with pride.


    Furthest out were contractors from the major families and Sects. They had also made indelible, tremendous contributions to this monumental project, and were thus invited to witness the ceremony.


    Chen Mobai delivered an impassioned speech that elicited waves of vigorous applause.


    Then, eagerly, Zhou Wangshen brought out a massive stone and placed it at the bank, asking the Sect Leader to name the river that flowed towards Rainbow Country after the convergence.


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment.


    He had previously considered ¡°Xuanhe,¡± but now felt it was somewhat lacking in grandeur.


    He took up the Chasing Sun Pen that Zhou Shengqing had gifted him and began pacing back and forth in front of the stone.


    No one dared to disturb him, all waiting for the Sect Leader to put pen to stone.


    In short order, Chen Mobai stopped pacing, stood in front of the giant rock, and wrote down two characters.


    ¡°Dark Water¡±!


    The crowd did not understand the meaning.


    But they hadn¡¯t understood the naming of Mo River and White River previously either; whatever the Sect Leader wished to call them, that¡¯s what they would be called!


    From that day forth, the river formed by the confluence of the Two Rivers, flowing towards Rainbow Country, was named ¡°Dark Water¡±.


    Only Luo Yixuan, standing at the side, felt a mix of excitement and disbelief upon seeing the characters for Dark Water: ¡°Master couldn¡¯t have named it after me, could he?¡±


    On the return journey, Luo Yixuan rode on Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± back with him.


    ¡°Master, why is it called Dark Water?¡± she asked, holding a mixture of hope and fear of disappointment.


    Chen Mobai, seeing his Disciple¡¯s expression and carefully thinking, understood her feelings, and couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly, continuing to speak in line with her hopes.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er came to Eastern Desolation Plateau to open up the Two Rivers; it is with your escort that I rest assured. At the beginning, many of the perilous and critical waterways of White River were cleared only with your intervention.¡±


    ¡°Later, when Ming¡¯er went to Rainbow Country to treat the sand and plant Spirit Rice, I was often in retreat and could not provide care, relying entirely on your diligent efforts to lead the Sect Disciples and contractors to successfully complete this project.¡±


    ¡°It can be said that in the convergence of the Two Rivers, your contribution is even greater than Ming¡¯er¡¯s, or Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Therefore, I hope that future generations will remember you, the behind-the-scenes hero, by the name of Dark Water!¡±


    On hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan was overcome with excitement, her fair melon-seed-shaped face couldn¡¯t help but lift with pride yet retaining modesty, causing her cheeks to flush with color. The hardships of digging the river for many years were swept away at this moment, and she couldn¡¯t help but volunteer herself eagerly!


    ¡°Master, let me take charge of opening up Dark Water. I guarantee that Senior Sister Zhuo will not lack a water source during her sand treatment project,¡± she declared.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was overjoyed.


    ¡°Very good, Xuan¡¯er, you indeed are the most considerate Disciple for your master. This grand task, I can only rest assured if it is in your hands!¡±

 Chapter 1260 - Chapter 1260 Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water Negotiations

    Chapter 1260: Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water, Negotiations in Immortal City Chapter 1260: Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water, Negotiations in Immortal City In fact, the reason Chen Mobai named it ¡°Dark Water¡± was because he remembered a phrase he had seen at Immortal Gate:


    ¡°Dark waters surge, sweeping across the world!¡±


    It felt very imposing, and he hoped that the Black Water River in Rainbow Country would also sweep away the Boundless Sand Sea in the future.


    Luo Yixuan was still practicing the Blackwater Cultivation because once this Cultivation Technique was cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, one could choose to condense all their Spiritual Power into Mysterious Heavy Water.


    This Mysterious Heavy Water, a single drop weighed thousands of pounds.


    A unit weighed about 30 pounds, a thousand units were about 30,000 pounds, which, according to the Immortal Gate¡¯s accounts, is 15 tons!


    Ordinary Magic Artifacts encountering this Mysterious Heavy Water were basically destined to be smashed to pieces, not to mention Defensive Magic Talismans and the like, which would collapse upon contact at the same rank.


    It was precisely because of her aspiration towards the Mysterious Heavy Water that Luo Yixuan chose this Water Attribute Cultivation Technique when she was a child.


    Therefore, after Chen Mobai transmitted the Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation he obtained from Xuan Shu to her, she still wanted to master the Mysterious Heavy Water of the Blackwater Cultivation before transforming her technique.


    This was mainly because she was confident.


    Although Luo Yixuan¡¯s path to the Golden Core Realm had also strayed into the Evil Path, unlike Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er, she was considered to have truly formed a core, with a lifespan of eight cycles of 60 years each, an External Incarnation with the strength of the Golden Core Realm, and a Rank-4 Magic Artifact, so she was not so urgent about advancing her realm.


    ¡°Master, after I developed the White River, I faintly felt that I was about to break through to the fourteenth level of Blackwater Cultivation, and I have some questions I would like to ask¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    The fourteenth level of Blackwater Cultivation was the Foundation Establishment Completion. Although Luo Yixuan, being at the Golden Core Realm, made the progress twice as effective with half the effort, the speed was still beyond his imagination.


    After all, it had only been nineteen years since she formed the Ghost Pill.


    Back then, she had just freed herself from the nuisance of Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, and her Blackwater Cultivation was only at the early Foundation stage.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, although Luo Yixuan had no bottlenecks in upgrading her Spiritual Power, her Divine Sense could only be improved through her own diligent practice, and at this time, she should have just broken through to the late Foundation phase.


    ¡°Have there been any abnormalities during your recent cultivation?¡±


    With a thought, Chen Mobai probably understood the reason, which was also why he had Luo Yixuan develop the Black Water.


    Facing the caring inquiry of her Master, Luo Yixuan thought carefully but really could not figure out any abnormalities, and shook her head.


    Chen Mobai immediately asked her to release Elder Ming, as there might be some things Luo Yixuan, with her lower realm, couldn¡¯t detect, but Elder Ming might have noticed something.


    ¡°Report to the Saint Child, since Miss Luo came to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, her cultivation speed has been faster day by day.¡±


    Elder Ming¡¯s consciousness resided within Luo Yixuan¡¯s shadow, lacking freedom on ordinary days, focusing solely on observing Luo Yixuan¡¯s cultivation and the people and events around her, so she really noticed some clues.


    It really was due to the development of the White River!


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, as he had thought.


    Although the merits from developing a great river in the Eastern Desolation Plateau definitely were not as massive as those from controlling the sand, it was still meritorious.


    For these two rivers, he, as the chief engineer, had half the credit, and Luo Yixuan, as the cultivator who exerted the most effort in the actual execution, was second only to him.


    This influence subtly caused Luo Yixuan¡¯s cultivation to begin improving rapidly.


    However, because many cultivators were involved, the benefits were diluted after division, so it didn¡¯t lead to anyone directly achieving Enlightenment.


    Moreover, besides developing the two great rivers, there were also accompanying endeavors like cultivating Spirit Fields and more Human Path works, which further diluted it.


    However, the bulk of the reward was definitely still theirs, the master and disciple.


    ¡°Once you have completed developing the Black Water, you should be ready to truly form your core!¡±


    After solving the problems Luo Yixuan encountered during her practice of Blackwater Cultivation, Chen Mobai confidently said to her.


    ¡°Yes, Master. Your disciple will not disappoint you!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan felt as if she was being praised, her face and eyes filled with joy.


    After she led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army to annihilate the Nanxuan Sect, Luo Sancai of the Luo family, who was at the Foundation Establishment, traveled thousands of miles personally to relate to her. Despite being several generations older, he called her ¡®Old Ancestor¡¯ upon meeting her and expressed hopes that she would visit the Luo family more often when she had time.


    Accompanying Luo Sancai was her brother, Luo Yixiu.


    However, the once treasured scion of the Luo family, who had been doted on, was now completely aged. After failing to establish his foundation twice, he had become a butler within the Divine Wood Sect, managing the sect relations and aiding the Luo family¡¯s young talents.


    If not for his own Level-9 Qi Cultivation, he would probably have been sent back to have children.


    Luo Sancai still thought that since Luo Yixiu and Luo Yixuan entered the sect at the same time and were siblings, their relationship would be very good, so he specifically brought him to get closer.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing Luo Yixiu in front of her being extremely cautious, afraid of saying a wrong word, Luo Yixuan remembered how before she joined her Master, she had been similarly cautious and meticulous when near this brother.


    After the roles were reversed, Luo Yixuan initially felt a rush of exhilarating satisfaction, but as she savored the feeling, seeing the family Foundation Establisher, whom she once revered like a deity, also appearing jittery before her, she suddenly felt it mundane and dull.


    After she stood on the highest point of the Eastern Desolation, she realized that the various grievances deeply ingrained in her childhood memories were just that.


    At that moment, Luo Yixuan¡¯s mindset elevated!


    Subsequently, the corner of her heart that once reserved a place for the Luo family began to fade, and Xiao Nanshan gradually occupied her entire heart and mind.

 Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1261 Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water Negotiations

    Chapter 1261: Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water, Negotiations in Immortal City_2 Chapter 1261: Chapter 693 Mysterious Heavy Water, Negotiations in Immortal City_2 Two years ago, Luo Yixuan¡¯s mother passed away.


    Since then, in her heart, there was only Xiao Nanshan.


    That¡¯s why a simple compliment from Chen Mobai made her so happy.


    Because that was all she cared about.


    Chen Mobai thought that since he had nothing else to do, he might as well take Luo Yixuan to take a look at the planned course of the Dark Water river.


    Within Rainbow Country, the sky was filled with sand!


    However, thousands of years ago, this place was also full of green mountains and clear waters.


    If one wished to combat desertification, Dark Water would need to flow through most of the territory of Rainbow Country, and these pathways needed to be combined with the local Spirit Veins.


    Because the land here is flat and the sunlight ample.


    If one were to develop it into Spirit Fields, it would directly be vast expanses, and during the times of sowing, tending and harvesting, one could directly use large-scale puppets, and a single cultivator could directly take care of hundreds or even thousands of acres.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, if the desertification was curbed, the entirety of Rainbow Country could be developed, and just the area of Spirit Fields would be equivalent to the combined thirty million acres of Sky Country and Rock Country.


    However, Chen Mobai was planning to turn this place into the granary of the entire Eastern Wilderness so that cultivation would not be limited by Spirit Veins and more could be planted.


    He intended to first plant ordinary rice that contained only a trace amount of Spiritual Energy, and through the unified Zhao Dynasty, provide it to all the mortals in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Ten, twenty, thirty years¡­


    After generations of people¡¯s health improved through sufficient Spirit Rice, more and more children would be born with Spiritual Roots, moving closer and closer to what Chen Mobai envisaged as a Minor Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan and traveled through most of Rainbow Country, and thanks to efforts of people like Yan Yuanhao and Zhuo Ming, a complete defensive forest against desertification had already been established at the border.


    The once endlessly advancing Boundless Sand Sea that eroded day and night was now kept outside of Rainbow Country.


    With no external threats, what remained was to improve the environment inside Rainbow Country that had been eroded and turned to sand for thousands of years.


    To achieve this step, water was essential.


    That¡¯s why Dark Water was crucial.


    If Luo Yixuan could accomplish the opening of this Dark Water route, her merit in the future would not be much less than Zhuo Ming¡¯s.


    While they, master and disciple, were wandering through Rainbow Country, Jiang Zongheng also returned to Ming Nation with the Formless Puppet.


    Zhou Ye soon received a letter personally replied to by Chen Mobai.


    Three days later, Chen Mobai effortlessly entered Hunyuan Immortal City through the Teleportation Array that Feng Zicheng had betrayed to Jiang Zongheng.


    When he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, a middle-aged man with a firm face and serious eyes was waiting.


    This person was Chun Yusu, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, a man of supreme skill and strategy of mind, and had previously been hailed as the cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness most likely to achieve Core Formation.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please this way!¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Chun Yusu¡¯s face was complicated, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, but in the end, he still led him to meet Zhou Ye.


    It was still that courtyard built around a lake where the refined and handsome Zhou Ye sat in the pavilion, accompanied by his beautiful maid, Green Pearl.


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, a flash of surprise appeared in both of their eyes.


    After all, Zhou Ye had refined the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, and Chen Mobai¡¯s daring to come here meant he was placing his life and death into the other¡¯s hands.


    But soon, Zhou Ye thought of something, and after probing with his Primordial Dao Fruit, he indeed discovered that the Chen Mobai who had arrived was just a puppet.


    Zhou Ye raised his hand to signal Chun Yusu to leave.


    Chun Yusu opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he bowed his head and stepped back.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, meeting with a puppet seems insincere.¡±


    Hearing Zhou Ye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai smiled faintly and sat down opposite him of his own accord, then retorted with a question.


    ¡°If True Person Zhou were in my place, would you be willing to come in person for negotiations?¡±


    ¡°Of course not!¡±


    Upon these words, both men looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter, while Green Pearl beside them was somewhat baffled.


    Shouldn¡¯t the two be archenemies at daggers drawn? Even if they didn¡¯t come to blows, at the very least they should¡¯ve exchanged a war of words and reprimanded each other.


    Yet now, they seemed like two old friends catching up.


    ¡°Green Pearl, the guest has arrived. Why haven¡¯t you served tea?¡±


    True Person Zhou spoke, but Chen Mobai shook his head, indicating that he couldn¡¯t enjoy it due to his puppet body.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get straight to the point,¡± he said. ¡°After taking down your Five Elements Sect, I still need to have Zong Heng attack both the Back to Sky Valley and the mortal kingdoms of the Snow-blowing Palace to unify the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words shocked True Person Zhou; though he had been contemplating the movements of the Divine Wood Sect these past days and had guessed this point, he was still very surprised to have it confirmed.


    ¡°Why would a person like you end up in my second senior brother¡¯s Wood Vein? It¡¯s as if the heavens are particularly fond of him!¡±


    True Person Zhou¡¯s words made Chen Mobai somewhat smug; after all, it was praise coming from the mouth of an enemy.


    ¡°I¡¯ll state my demands first. The Primordial Dao Fruit is the bottom line.¡±


    Since True Person Zhou didn¡¯t want to speak first, Chen Mobai, with his huge advantage, didn¡¯t hide his intentions either. After all, with the army stopped at Ming Nation, each extra day meant more consumption.


    The Primordial Dao Fruit was crucial for his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and was something he had to obtain at all costs!


    As long as True Person Zhou agreed to hand it over, Chen Mobai felt that anything else was negotiable.


    ¡°Fine, the Five Elements Meridians are all direct transmissions from our Master. I will pass on the Primordial Dao Fruit to you, and it does not count as breaking the oath of Dao Heart that I made.¡±


    True Person Zhou¡¯s words made Chen Mobai frown.


    He was so agreeable!?


    ¡°What are your demands, True Person Zhou?¡±


    True Person Zhou smiled slightly and said something that made Chen Mobai nearly leap up in surprise: ¡°Help me destroy the Dongwu Sun Family, and not only will I give you the Primordial Dao Fruit, but I will also leave the Hunyuan Immortal City and swear never to set foot here for the rest of my life.¡±


    ¡°I must decline!¡±


    Chen Mobai refused emphatically.


    Though the Primordial Dao Fruit was important, he would not wage a cross-border war over it.


    Moreover, since the Dongwu Sun Family protected half of the territory of Cloud Dream Marsh, until Chen Mobai was absolutely certain he could slay the Poisonous Dragon, he definitely would not turn on his allies and engage in infighting.


    ¡°Other than this, I have no other desires.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, True Person Zhou¡¯s smile receded, and his tone became calm again.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t see any sign from True Person Zhou of seeing him out. Knowing he was testing the limits, he continued: ¡°There¡¯s a taste in seeking personal revenge. True Person Zhou, why not form your Nascent Soul first and then destroy the Dongwu Sun Family yourself?¡±


    True Person Zhou: ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°True Person Zhou, do you think that this Hunyuan Immortal City can stop my sect¡¯s grand army?¡±


    True Person Zhou: ¡°It can¡¯t, but to breach this Immortal City, surely my second senior brother would have to come. Could it be that you want to drag him down with you, solely to honor the Wood Vein?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°True Person Zhou, you shouldn¡¯t project your petty mindedness onto a man of honor. I merely mean to say, if this Hunyuan Immortal City is still left for your cultivation, and you remain the Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Earth Vein, would you accept that?¡±


    True Person Zhou: ¡°What do you intend?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Aren¡¯t Sect Leader Yan Yuanhao and Sect Leader Sheng Zhaoxi examples? As long as True Person Zhou is willing to submit to our Wood Vein and acknowledge that our vein is the rightful way, not only can we avoid warfare, but you can also keep everything. From now on, our Five Elements Meridians will remain as close as brothers, sharing the same root and source. The Hunyuan Immortal City and the Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein here will still belong to you for your cultivation. You may even use the resources of our combined Five Elements Meridians to refine the Primordial Dao Fruit, and maybe you could even achieve Nascent Soul Formation in the future.¡±


    Struck by these words, True Person Zhou was tempted: ¡°All I need to give up is the Primordial Dao Fruit?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°True Person Zhou, as the head of the Five Elements Earth Vein, submitting to our sect could damage your reputation.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°A mere reputation is of no concern to me,¡± retorted True Person Zhou, now turning the tables with his conditions, ¡°Will the Golden Core Cultivators of the other veins sacrifice their Spiritual Power to help me refine the Primordial Dao Fruit?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head after hearing this: ¡°I won¡¯t force them to aid you. After all, when it comes to cultivation, one must rely on oneself mostly.¡±


    True Person Zhou: ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I do not feel the sincerity from Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This is me offering you a dignified way out, not me begging you.¡±


    With that, True Person Zhou fell completely silent.

 Chapter 1262 - Chapter 1262 Chapter 694 Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit

    Chapter 1262: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit Chapter 1262: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit The taste of humiliation, Zhou Ye had not experienced it for nearly a hundred years.


    He thought about rebelling, but¡­ his strength was not enough!


    After Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi surrendered, Divine Wood Sect now had one Nascent Soul and eight Core Formations.


    While on his side, there was only him!


    The huge gap in strength forced him to bow his head.


    Although he was confident that by using the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder he could take everything away, firstly, the other side would not be so foolish, and secondly, he was not ready to die.


    If one could live, who would choose death?


    So after Chen Mobai laid everything out, Zhou Ye found that he had no room for choice.


    Indeed, he was given a dignified way to survive!


    Zhou Ye, ¡°I can agree, but under these conditions, I hope Sect Master Chen and the fellow teachers and sisters make a vow of the Dao Heart.¡±


    Chen Mobai, after hearing this, did not immediately agree.


    Although he thought that Zhou Shengqing and others would not object, it was still better to confirm.


    ¡°There¡¯s one more thing.¡±


    Zhou Ye spoke again, causing Chen Mobai to frown slightly, thinking this guy was getting a bit too greedy.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, you should know about the Yiyuan Mijing!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to refuse, he was taken aback by the mention.


    He remembered what Zhou Shengqing once said, that in the Hunyuan Immortal City, there was a secret realm left by True Lord Yuan, renowned alongside the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It was said that Ancestor Hunyuan had obtained the inheritance of True Lord Yuan in this secret realm.


    ¡°Please speak!¡± Chen Mobai was interested and let Zhou Ye continue.


    Zhou Ye, ¡°Help me open it.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°Didn¡¯t the Primordial Ancestral Master leave the secret realm for you? You can¡¯t open it?¡±


    Zhou Ye, ¡°It requires a joint effort by the Five Elements Meridians. If you agree to this matter, I am willing to immediately summon all Five Elements Sect Disciples within the Hunyuan Immortal City to confess their sins, attributing all the misdeeds of splitting the sects to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°What¡¯s inside the secret realm?¡±


    Zhou Ye, ¡°I have never opened it and can¡¯t be sure.¡±


    Chen Mobai, ¡°If there¡¯s a profit, how shall it be distributed?¡±


    Zhou Ye, ¡°How about we each take half? The secret technique to open it is in my hands, and it requires Primordial True Qi to do so.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and made a slightly excessive demand, ¡°Before opening the Yiyuan Mijing, you shall first impart the Primordial Dao Fruit to me.¡±


    Zhou Ye struggled slightly but finally sighed, ¡°Fine!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai had all his demands met in these negotiations, the Yiyuan Mijing was an unexpected gain, like icing on the cake.


    After making a rough agreement with Zhou Ye, Chen Mobai stayed in the Hunyuan Immortal City, having Jiang Zongheng send the details of the negotiation to Zhou Shengqing.


    Zhou Shengqing, hearing that Zhou Ye had bent so low, willing to take on the guilt of splitting the sect, was overjoyed and authorized Chen Mobai to resolve everything fully.


    ¡­


    Seven days later!


    As the Supreme Elder, Zhou Ye issued a confession to all Five Elements Sect¡¯s Earth Vein disciples, admitting his competence did not match his position and hindered the unity of the Five Elements. The second senior brother Zhou Shengqing, being both talented and virtuous, a loyal elder, rightfully should inherit the orthodox lineage of the Five Elements.


    After the confession, Sect Leader Chun Yusu opened the city gates wide, and Jiang Zongheng, already at the gates with his Immortal Master followers, stepped into the Hunyuan Immortal City.


    Without any ambush, with the three high-ranking cultivators agreeing, no matter how many opposed, nothing could change the outcome of the Five Elements Sect being unified under Divine Wood Sect.


    This news shook Eastern Wilderness!


    The Five Elements Sect, which had been split for nearly a hundred years, was so easily unified by Divine Wood Sect?!


    Why did Zhou Ye not even resist?


    Yan Shaoyin, upon hearing this news, went white-haired quite a bit, ordering Back to Sky Valley to urgently gather more materials for the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    And in the Snow-blowing Palace, Kong Lingling, feeling her child growing stronger, hoped for more time to capture more blood food.


    In Northern Abyss City.


    Having just completed the spike inspection of the Dari Purple Rice, Lou Xuelong specially detoured here to discuss with Chen Mobai after the Five Elements Meridians re-unified, what Divine Wood Sect planned to do next.


    At this stage, even if Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± had not been revealed, Divine Wood Sect¡¯s strength was already supreme in Eastern Wilderness, even ranking among the top five in the Eastern Region.


    After Zhou Ye¡¯s submission, they openly had nine Core Formations.


    If Divine Wood Sect aimed to unify Eastern Wilderness, then their Star Heaven Dao Sect also needed to adjust its strategy accordingly.


    But regardless, their interests in Eastern Wilderness absolutely could not be compromised.


    Lou Xuelong¡¯s visit was to emphasize this point.


    ¡°If Back to Sky Valley plans to surrender to our sect, how would your faction respond?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, after hearing this, asked a question that slightly startled Lou Xuelong.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible.¡±


    Lou Xuelong couldn¡¯t imagine Back to Sky Valley having any possibility of surrendering to Divine Wood Sect, especially with their backing from Star Heaven Dao Sect and earning millions of spirit stones annually from the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, Yan Shaoyin, being a sensible man with some backbone, would never switch to Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a hypothesis.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled, and Lou Xuelong, considering the weak strength of Back to Sky Valley and the unreachable probabilities of their Star Heaven Dao Sect, slightly furrowed his brow, and couldn¡¯t help but emphasize,


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, Flower Country greatly values the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice. If any mishaps occur, it might provoke the Nascent Soul Ancestor from our family to personally descend and unleash a thunderous fury.¡±

 Chapter 1263 - Chapter 1263 Chapter 694 Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit_2

    Chapter 1263: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 Chapter 1263: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 The region of Dong Yue where the Star Heaven Dao Sect was located was filled with mountains and hills, making cultivation difficult. Thus, many of the elders¡¯ Rank-3 and Rank-4 Spirit Rice mainly came from the regions of the East Barbarians, Dongwu, and Eastern Wilderness.


    Especially the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice of Flower Country, the Star Heaven Dao Sect had cultivated it for a thousand years to harvest it continuously.


    If it were really damaged due to the war, it was indeed possible that it would bring forth the intervention of the Primordial Infant Great Cultivators of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Please rest assured on this point, as long as our sect remains the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, even if Back to Sky Valley cannot protect your Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, we will still send people to guard it.¡±


    Chen Mobai probed and, after knowing the determination of Star Heaven Dao Sect regarding the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, he made a meaningful remark.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, please remember these words, Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Lou Xuelong seemed not to catch the underlying meaning in his words and took his leave after saying that.


    Chen Mobai watched his departing figure and looked towards the Donghuang map placed in the grand hall, his gaze landing on Flower Country, his eyes deep and thoughtful.


    ¡­


    Hunyuan Immortal City!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet body was comprehending the Primordial Dao Fruit that Zhou Ye had just taught him. Indeed, left behind by True Lord Yuan, it was truly profound and mysterious, marvelous beyond measure.


    After returning, he would need to use the Enlightenment Tea to properly comprehend it.


    Thinking this, he opened his eyes.


    He was still in Zhou Ye¡¯s courtyard, and the latter was also here, appearing leisurely as he fed the fish while Chen Mobai comprehended the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    After issuing a self-blaming decree and taking the entire blame for the separation of the Five Elements Meridians onto himself, Zhou Ye felt as if the sky and sea were open to him.


    From now on, he would no longer need to pay attention to trivial matters of the Five Elements Sect, nor worry about the other four meridians joining forces to attack, and could solely focus on his cultivation.


    In his decree, in order to punish himself, he announced he would seal himself within the Immortal City, not absolving his sin karma until it was done, vowing not to leave the city.


    However, this was just a courteous statement, Zhou Ye knew clearly that only within the Hunyuan Immortal City could he wield the greatest deterrence.


    After his surrender, Chen Mobai had given him dignity; he still remained the Supreme Elder of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect, respected by Zhou Shengqing and others who had seen the error of their ways.


    But after the unification of the Five Meridians, the actual administration of this Immortal City would undoubtedly be handled by people from his Divine Wood Sect.


    For Zhou Ye, he needed to cultivate using the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein here, maintaining merely the deterrence of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.


    If he were to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in the future, that would mean his sins were cleansed, and he could leave the city.


    Upon realizing this, Zhou Ye even felt some regret for not surrendering earlier.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, how goes your comprehension?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai rise, Zhou Ye put down the fish bait he was holding and asked warmly.


    ¡°Gained some insights.¡±


    Although they now addressed each other as brothers, Chen Mobai would certainly not reveal his true thoughts to Zhou Ye, instead giving a courteous reply.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen truly is a peerless genius. When Master first taught me the Primordial Dao Fruit, it was as if hearing the heavenly scriptures; only after Master explained it for a hundred days did I gain some understanding, and even to this day, I have merely scratched the surface.¡±


    Zhou Ye took it seriously, actually believing that Chen Mobai had gained some understanding of the Primordial Dao Fruit in just a few days, and his face showed astonishment.


    ¡°Are you certain there is no problem with the key to opening the Yiyuan Mijing, Brother Zhou?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately changed the subject, bringing up the matter of Zhou Ye¡¯s utmost concern.


    ¡°Yes, before Master passed away in meditation, he taught me the method to open it, but it requires gathering five tokens, subsequently activating it with Primordial True Qi.¡±


    While talking, Zhou Ye took out a dirt-yellow Jade Pendant.


    Originally, when Ancestor Hunyuan granted a jade pendant to each of the five disciples at their Core Formation, they represented the Five Elements, serving as the keys to open the Yiyuan Mijing.


    Zhou Shengqing was unaware of this matter, assuming it was only a symbol of identity for disciples of Hunyuan.


    After the passing of Ancestor Hunyuan, Zhou Ye, not having secured his position, naturally did not reveal this secret to others.


    And later when the sects were divided, he certainly wouldn¡¯t mention it.


    ¡°At first, I indeed harbored some grand ambitions, wishing to win over each brother and sister, inherit the Master¡¯s wishes and the Secret Realm, leading the Five Elements Sect to greater heights.¡±


    Zhou Ye placed his earth-yellow jade pendant on the table with a sense of sighing.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, took out three jade pendants¨Ca cyan, a fiery red, and a shining gold one¨Cand placed them alongside Zhou Ye¡¯s.


    These belonged to Zhou Shengqing, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Mo Douguang. After hearing about this matter, they were all eager to open the Yiyuan Secret Realm, but they didn¡¯t dare to come to Hunyuan Immortal City, so they all just sent their disciples to deliver their jade pendants.


    Among them, the one from Nu Jiang was missing.


    It wasn¡¯t that he was unwilling!


    Rather, Nu Jiang had just accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s request to go to Dongwu.


    With four jade pendants together, there was no reaction, causing Chen Mobai and Zhou Ye both to feel somewhat disappointed.


    It seemed they still needed all five to gather.


    ¡°I wonder what rare treasures are hidden within this secret realm?¡±


    This Yiyuan Secret Realm, during the time of the Five Elements Sect, only Ancestor Hunyuan could enter, so although Zhou Shengqing and the others knew there must be great opportunities inside, they never had the chance to learn the details.


    Before Ancestor Hunyuan passed away in meditation, he left the inheritance to Zhou Ye, who for the sake of the secret realm, straightforwardly taught the Primordial Dao Fruit to Chen Mobai, presumably knowing something about what was inside.


    ¡°This secret realm is a small world with balanced Five Element Spiritual Energy, at the center of which is an extremely precious Five Elements Spirit Tree. The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit that we five disciples used for our Core Formation was plucked from it by our honorific master.¡±


    Both parties had already sworn oaths on their Dao Heart, so Zhou Ye did not conceal and shared what he knew.


    Chen Mobai was taken aback upon hearing this!


    ¡°A Five Elements Spirit Tree?¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, although there were spiritual objects to assist in Core Formation, in ancient times, cultivators of the Five Elements Cultivation Technique all used the corresponding Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to overcome the great realm of Core Formation.


    However, Five Elements Spirit Trees require an extremely harsh environment to grow¨Cthey need a Spirit Vein with all five elements present and nearly equal amounts of Spiritual Energy.


    This is precisely why the Spirit Vein caves suitable for the growth of Five Elements Spirit Trees are incredibly rare.


    Now, only those super sects in the East Land possessed such rare natural treasures, and Mobai had never imagined that there could be one in the Yiyuan Secret Realm.


    ¡°I heard from the master that those few Five Elements Spirit Trees in the East Land were mostly created by ancient cultivators using great divine power to forcibly create a small world where all Five Elements Spiritual Energy was present to nurture them.¡±


    ¡°This one in the Yiyuan Secret Realm was originally planted by a great being from the Longevity Sect who opened up a small world, and later discovered by True Lord Yuan, who also reached the Perfection of the Primordial Dao Fruit using it.¡±


    ¡°Later it was the master who obtained the True Lord Yuan¡¯s inheritance jade pendant, came here to open this secret realm, and based on this, established Hunyuan Immortal City and founded the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    ¡°The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit condensed by the Five Elements Spirit Tree are the most pure and unmatched essences of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, which, in addition to helping cultivators of Five Elements Spiritual Power during Core Formation, is also the best treasure for my cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    Without Zhou Ye mentioning these things, Chen Mobai would not have known any of it.


    ¡°The Five Elements Spirit Tree bears fruit once every sixty years, and each time, it produces five fruits: one for each of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.¡±


    ¡°And since the ancestor passed away in meditation, it has been a hundred and two years.¡±


    ¡°That means, as long as we open the secret realm, there¡¯s a very good chance to find a complete set of mature Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, and possibly even more than one set.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Zhou Ye¡¯s thoughts down, quickly understanding why he wanted to include this condition into the Dao Heart oath.


    If Chen Mobai opened the Yiyuan Secret Realm and used the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits to cultivate the Primordial True Qi, he might truly be able to refine the Primordial Dao Fruit in a short amount of time.


    ¡°There will only be one set of Five Elements Spiritual Fruits because the previous ones have all been used for the cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit by our honorary master, and for our Core Formation.¡±


    Zhou Ye regretfully said something that made Chen Mobai slightly relieved.


    According to the agreement, he could take half of the items in the secret realm, meaning Zhou Ye could take at most two and a half of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This could at least delay Zhou Ye¡¯s progress in cultivation.


    After two encounters with Zhou Ye, Chen Mobai found him to be a very time-aware person.


    If in the future he succeeded in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and felt confident to suppress Zhou Ye, he could consider accepting him.


    After all, among all the Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, he was the most likely to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    But not now, he needed to be suppressed!

 Chapter 1264 - Chapter 1264 Chapter 695 Grand Spells Jiamu Divergent

    Chapter 1264: Chapter 695 Grand Spells: Jiamu Divergent Evolution (21600 Votes Plus Update) Chapter 1264: Chapter 695 Grand Spells: Jiamu Divergent Evolution (21600 Votes Plus Update) Rainbow Country.


    Chen Mobai brought Luo Yixuan to Liu Jia Mountain.


    Upon receiving the news, Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei immediately came to greet them and showed their respects with a bow.


    ¡°Hmm, Ming¡¯er, your qi is harmonious and your spiritual power integrated. It looks like you¡¯re about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment soon.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked the two women in front of him to rise. He quickly noticed something exceptional about Zhuo Ming. After a closer observation, he couldn¡¯t help but clap his hands in laughter.


    ¡°Thanks to Master¡¯s excellent guidance, and with an abundance of spirit rice and spirit stones, such achievements are possible.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was also pleased after hearing this. Chen Mobai¡¯s judgment in this area was incredibly precise, never mistaken; since he mentioned she could break through, it virtually guaranteed her success.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, Zhuo Ming broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment twenty years ago with the help of Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, progressing from the middle stage to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in twenty years was considered quite an accomplishment,


    given that some Foundation Establishment cultivators spend their entire lives stuck in the middle stage bottleneck, unable to break through.


    For instance, the famous Yuan Hongyuan managed to break through only with the help of Huangquan Holy Fruit.


    However, for Chen Mobai, who was used to seeing geniuses, this achievement was only barely satisfactory, especially when compared to Yin Qingmei, who had achieved completion of Foundation Establishment.


    But considering most of Zhuo Ming¡¯s time was occupied by Chen Mobai¡¯s tasks, such as managing rivers and farming in the Eastern Desolation Plateau while also focusing on the cultivation of the Ninefold Law Body, her progress was indeed outstanding.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai was generous with praise, to bolster Zhuo Ming¡¯s confidence.


    ¡°Master, did you come to see the Dari Purple Rice reach its earing stage? I¡¯ve tried combining it with Jade Bud Lingmi and discovered the hybridization was successful. However, I¡¯m not sure what grade the resulting spirit rice will be.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, flattered by the praise, was eager to show Chen Mobai her achievements over these years.


    It had always been Zhuo Ming¡¯s wish to cultivate a large-scale plantable Rank-3 spirit rice. After leaving Xiao Nanshan, she hadn¡¯t forgotten her original intention.


    The Dari Purple Rice seeds provided by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, as third rank superior grade spirit rice seeds, couldn¡¯t have been a better subject for observation.


    Though most of the seeds had been sown, because of Zhuo Ming¡¯s efficiency and excellence, there were surplus seeds that were initially expected to replenish losses due to damage.


    When Gu Zhiqin went back, he didn¡¯t take these seeds with him, as they were few in number and could only be planted for one cycle, so there was no concern about them spreading.


    But Zhuo Ming used these seeds for round after round of hybridization experiments and finally made a successful match with the widely cultivated Yubud Lingmi in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Only cultivated this year, she completed the match. After the harvest and earing stage, they were yet to see what grade the spirit rice would be.


    ¡°Have you kept this matter confidential?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked very serious.


    ¡°Rest assured, Master. I only started experimenting after the Spirit Plant Masters of Star Heaven Dao Sect left, and the experimental field isn¡¯t in Liu Jia Mountain. When True Person Lou came with the team this time, after checking the condition of the Dari Purple Rice here, they left directly.¡±


    Zhuo Ming knew what Chen Mobai was worried about. Although the Rank-3 spirit rice was a result of her tireless hybridization efforts, one of the original varieties was Dari Purple Rice. If it were discovered by the people of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, they would definitely use it as an excuse to oppress them or even claim the achievement for themselves.


    ¡°Alright, since it isn¡¯t on Liu Jia Mountain, I¡¯ll go and take a look after I finish up here.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left the three women somewhat perplexed. If he had not come to Liu Jia Mountain to check on the spirit rice, could it be that he came for the sand control effort?


    At this moment, Chen Mobai was already sensing the location of the Tai Sui through the power of the contract.


    Accompanied by his vast divine sense, something resembling both a stone and flesh, a black lump, came up from the ground.


    The Tai Sui, carrying Earth Spirit power, came to the feet of Chen Mobai, rubbing against his trouser leg somewhat grievously.


    Upon noticing that it had slimmed down significantly, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but turn his gaze towards Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Master, this hybridization success owes much to Tai Sui¡¯s help.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s words informed Chen Mobai that she must have taken a good amount of Tai Sui juice.


    However, even if ten lumps were combined, they were not as important as his precious disciple. Thus, Chen Mobai did not dwell further on the matter, instead he started to perform the Echoes in the Void technique to communicate with the Tai Sui.


    He needed fourth-rank Tai Sui flesh.


    Now, Chen Mobai had three methods.


    First was to take part of the Tai Sui and drip some Water of Ten Thousand Transformations on it. According to his estimation, there was a seventy to eighty percent chance it would upgrade to Rank-4.


    Yin Qingmei still wanted to solidify her realm, hence, she had not used the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations provided by Zhuo Ming to help her Destiny Spirit Plant level up.


    According to the communications of Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Rhinoceros, after her Biyu Wutong leveled from Rank-2 to Rank-3 with it, there should be a bit left over.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai felt that Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation was more crucial, and it would be better to save all the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for the Biyu Wutong, to avoid any unexpected issues during the process.


    The second method was to use the Technique of Forced Growth, a technique to encourage the Tai Sui to level up.


    According to the experience of Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, there was a fifty to sixty percent chance of success. After all, although Tai Sui couldn¡¯t be completely considered a Spirit Plant, it still possessed some characteristics of one. With the guidance of Grand Spells, it should at least trigger some signs of leveling up.


    But there were three problems. First, there would be the Heavenly Tribulation; second, it wouldn¡¯t be capable of leveling up again; and third, Tai Sui wasn¡¯t a Spirit Plant with merely weak and gentle spirituality. Once it became a Rank-4, the demonic energy and Spiritual Power would increase exponentially. When that happened, years of suppressed grievances might surge forth, and it might just break free from the bounds of the contract and turn against them.


    However, this could easily be resolved by inviting Zhou Shengqing to suppress it.


    The third method was a Grand Spell that Chen Mobai had newly acquired from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, called ¡°Jiamu Divergent Evolution¡±!


    This Grand Spell was somewhat related to Chen Mobai.


    He had once created a Spell called ¡°Jia Wood Jue¡±.


    This technique could use a stick of Red Sun Wood to absorb the essence of ninety-nine sticks of the same rank, upgrading it to a Rank-2 Green-sun Wood.


    But for Chen Mobai, Green-sun Wood wasn¡¯t anything precious, so this Spell was akin to a chicken rib for him¨Csomething he scarcely used after acquiring it.


    He had always felt that Jia Wood Jue was incomplete.


    There should be a subsequent evolution from Green-sun Wood to Golden Yang Wood, and from Golden Yang Wood to Everlife Wood.


    And this ¡°Jia Wood Jue¡± was derived from the greater technique of Jiamu Divergent Evolution.


    The function of this Grand Spell was singular: to use incremental changes to induce a qualitative transformation and then complete metamorphosis!


    To refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, only a piece of Rank-4 Tai Sui flesh the size of half a palm was needed. Chen Mobai observed the size of the Tai Sui at his feet and found that cutting it in half after shrinking it by a hundred times was just right.


    He communicated this matter to Tai Sui using the Echoes in the Void; naturally, the latter strongly disagreed, but it had no choice but to submit under the earnest persuasion of Chen Mobai.


    Tai Sui possessed the Spell of division, although its spirituality could only enter one of the resulting pieces. However, if those split pieces of flesh absorbed the Earth¡¯s Qi for a long time, there was a possibility that another spirituality could be nurtured within them.


    When Chen Mobai made his move, Tai Sui still showed signs of resistance, forming a barrier on its surface with dark yellow Earth Spiritual Power.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai frowned slightly and then unleashed the Extreme Sun Slash!


    Amidst a scream, the Tai Sui, which had been sliced in half, fled back into the earth.


    Zhuo Ming immediately brought out her All-things Altruistic Cauldron and collected all of the spilling Tai Sui juice in mid-air.


    In the air, Chen Mobai cradled the half piece of Tai Sui flesh in his palm, and then, accompanied by the three women, went to the summit of Liu Jia Mountain.


    There was Yin Qingmei¡¯s Biyu Wutong, and Chen Mobai sat down with her beneath this Spirit Tree, adeptly performing the Practice Together Technique.


    The Jiamu Divergent Evolution also required the Spiritual Power from the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to be executed.


    After acquiring the Grand Spell, Chen Mobai had used the old method of Empowerment to advance it to Rank-4. Now, using Yin Qingmei¡¯s Spiritual Power as a primer, he effortlessly unleashed it.


    One could see the piece of Tai Sui flesh he was holding in his palm was slowly covered by a green Spiritual Light, gradually shrinking and condensing.


    Gradually, the originally black-as-ink Tai Sui flesh started to exhibit wisps of lush, verdant light.


    The aura of Rank-4 spread out, prompting the Tai Sui, which had burrowed into the earth, to be unable to restrain itself and burst out from the ground, moving towards the half piece of itself in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm with a puzzled emotion.


    Approximately after three days and three nights, the originally massive piece of Tai Sui flesh had completely concentrated into the size of a palm.


    The vibrant and lively green Spiritual Light caused the three women to marvel.


    Even the Tai Sui, which did not know when it had crawled over, was drooling as it watched the piece in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm.


    It felt that if it could eat this piece, it should be able to trigger a transformation of the vast demonic energy and Spiritual Power within itself.


    But before he underwent ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, Chen Mobai definitely wouldn¡¯t consider allowing it to level up.


    It also had to be suppressed.


    After sharing this thought with Zhuo Ming, her eyes immediately lit up, and she already had an image of how to use Tai Sui juice to cultivate more Spirit Fields.


    ¡°The Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect are indeed good.¡±


    Chen Mobai inspected the Tai Sui flesh in his hand, which had gone through a complete transformation to become Rank-4, and nodded in satisfaction.


    However, at this moment, a faint panting sound could be heard by his ear.


    Turning around, he saw Yin Qingmei¡¯s complexion was slightly pale, and she seemed much weaker, with barely perceptible fluctuations of Spiritual Power.


    For Chen Mobai, performing high-intensity Longevity Sect Grand Spells for three days and nights was as simple as eating and drinking, but for Yin Qingmei, who had only achieved Foundation Establishment Completion, it was an unbearable burden.

    Fortunately, they were under the Biyu Wutong, and she was able to share the burden with her Destiny Spirit Plant, otherwise, she could have collapsed already.


    ¡°Qingmei, you¡¯ve worked hard this time.¡±


    Chen Mobai said warmly to Yin Qingmei, who immediately waved her hands, indicating that it was her honor to be able to exert effort for the Sect Leader.


    ¡°This Practice Together session has brought your Spiritual Power to its zenith, and you don¡¯t need to solidify it anymore. I happen to have some free time recently, so I will support you while you experience the leveling up of your Destiny Spirit Plant. By the end of the year, Back to Sky Valley will send the fully nurtured Golden Liquid Jade Pill and I¡¯ve already reserved one for you.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yin Qingmei brightened as if she had been given a tonic, her weakness vanished, and she glowed radiantly!

 Chapter 1265 - Chapter 1265 Chapter 696 Cultivating the Five Elements

    Chapter 1265: Chapter 696: Cultivating the Five Elements Simultaneously Chapter 1265: Chapter 696: Cultivating the Five Elements Simultaneously Yin Qingmei still needed some time to recover her spiritual power, so Chen Mobai took two disciples to the spiritual vein core at Liu Jia Mountain.


    At this core grew the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s fourth-order spiritual medicine, Chong Xu Xian Zhi, which suppressed the spirit vein.


    This Xian Zhi, after being harvested many times, only had its last mature piece left, which was about to be cut and used as the main ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    However, the root was still there; over the years, a new ring of Xian Zhi slices had grown, but it was unknown when they would mature.


    If only there was an endless supply of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    In a moment of contemplation, Chen Mobai thought of the All-Transforming Thunder Pond blueprints gifted to him by Wen Ren Xuewei, and now that the water vein was subdued, he could attempt to set up this major project in the Wind Rain Hamlet area.


    However, even within the immortal gates, the All-Transforming Thunder Pond was a project of extreme difficulty; it was uncertain whether it could be restored here.


    Chen Mobai kept this matter in mind and replaced the Chong Xu Xian Zhi with a supreme-grade spirit stone as the new core of the spirit vein.


    Since the main ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir was exceedingly precious, coupled with five more Golden Liquid Jade Pills which were vital for the next generation¡¯s prosperous development of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai decided to personally make a trip to Back to Sky Valley.


    After replacing the spirit vein core, Zhuo Ming immediately employed the All Things Spiritual Communication to stabilize the somewhat turbulent terrain.


    Looking at the Chong Xu Xian Zhi, which appeared dim and somewhat wilted after its last slice was harvested, Chen Mobai crouched down and placed its roots on top of the neighboring supreme-grade spirit stone.


    Then, Zhuo Ming immediately grabbed a handful of slightly blackened soil, buried both the roots and the spirit stone, and began to channel spiritual energy to nourish them.


    The area had been treated with Origin Field Nourishing Fertility, and under the powerful nourishment of spiritual energy, it had already become third-order Everlife Soil.


    According to Zhuo Ming¡¯s estimate, it could be upgraded to the fourth order in a couple of years.


    ¡°We can arrange to transplant the Sun Spirit Tree from our sect here.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai personally dug up a handful of soil to feel the fertile energy it contained and nodded satisfactorily.


    This Origin Field Nourishing Fertility technique, aside from the Everlife Soil seeds, essentially required a continuous supply of earth energy and spiritual energy.


    Only a fourth-grade spirit vein could nourish the fourth-order Everlife Soil.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, after hearing this, was also very pleased.


    Her Earth Mother Cultivation had made significant progress during the nurturing process of Everlife Soil, even feeling that it might break through the shackles that Mother Qi of All Things can only cultivate third-order spirit soil.


    After checking the Everlife Soil, Chen Mobai went to look at the hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice that were setting seed.


    These experimental fields employed the same cooperative model as Back to Sky Valley. The Divine Wood Sect paid a consulting fee of a hundred superior-quality spirit stones, and after the harvest, only thirty percent would belong to them.


    However, after Zhuo Ming had mastered the entire process of planting Dari Purple Rice, Chen Mobai had also reached another type of cooperative model with Lou Xuelong.


    That was to buy the seeds of Dari Purple Rice at the price of one superior-quality spirit stone per acre.


    No matter whether they could grow it successfully or how much the yield would be, it was all up to the Divine Wood Sect from now on.


    Lou Xuelong, now acquainted with Zhuo Ming¡¯s level of expertise in spiritual plants over these years, somewhat regretted his decision.


    He had never expected that in the remote lands of the Eastern Wilderness, there would be a sect capable of nurturing such a talented Spirit Plant Master.


    But as much as he regretted it, Lou Xuelong soon came to terms with it.


    After the Dari Purple Rice was cultivated, since it could only be sold to their Star Heaven Commerce Guild or be used by the Divine Wood Sect, the more the Divine Wood Sect planted, the more they would eventually harvest.


    Perhaps even better than the thirty-seventy split.


    Thinking this way, Lou Xuelong represented the Star Heaven Commerce Guild this year and signed a second contract with Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming was already starting to open new third-order spirit fields.


    But previously, because the spirit vein at Liu Jia Mountain was unstable, she didn¡¯t dare to proceed freely; now that the core of the spirit vein had been replaced with a supreme-grade spirit stone, she no longer had such concerns.


    If the whole spirit vein of Liu Jia Mountain were to be dispersed into spirit fields, it could reach a scale of three thousand acres.


    However, considering the fourth-grade spirit vein here, and that for a long time it would serve as the cultivation site for both Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai allowed Zhuo Ming to open just fifteen hundred acres of spirit fields.


    These spirit fields weren¡¯t to be opened all at once but rather every two years, a hundred acres at a time.


    Apart from the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s inability to provide so many superior-quality spirit stones, this arrangement also ensured that they could harvest every two years, maintaining a regular supply for Golden Core Cultivators.


    The first batch of a hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice seed was brought by Lou Xuelong this time while observing the setting of seeds.


    By the time of the most intense summer sun in Rainbow Country, Zhuo Ming would start water irrigation and seeding.

    ¡°Master, as per your method, Senior Sister Yin¡¯s deployment of universal illumination divine light through the Haotian Mirror drawing Great Sun Fire indeed has a powerful promoting effect on Dari Purple Rice, possibly doubling the germination and setting of seeds.¡±


    Zhuo Ming mentioned another thing.


    Universal Illumination Divine Light inherently had the effect of promoting the growth of spiritual plants, and since Dari Purple Rice needed to absorb solar essence to grow, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei try it whenever they could.


    However, in previous years, with the cultivators from Star Heaven Dao Sect on Liu Jia Mountain to avoid exposure, they had never tried it.


    Only recently had they had the opportunity to experiment and indeed found that the sunlight from the Haotian Mirror could double the speed of Dari Purple Rice¡¯s growth.

 Chapter 1266 - Chapter 1266 Chapter 696 Five Elements Cultivation_2

    Chapter 1266: Chapter 696 Five Elements Cultivation_2 Chapter 1266: Chapter 696 Five Elements Cultivation_2 ¡°Good, good, good, with this method, the Dari Purple Rice that originally takes thirty years to mature can now be reduced to fifteen years.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having heard this, was overjoyed as well.


    In this way, the one thousand and five hundred acres of Spirit Field they had opened up at Liu Jia Mountain would, after fifteen years, be able to yield a hundred acres of Rank-3 Dari Purple Rice year after year without interruption.


    Even if they didn¡¯t sell it, they could consume it internally.


    After all, the Divine Wood Sect now had nine Golden Core Cultivators, if they pressed down on Zhou Ye, that¡¯d be eight, spreading out to 1250 catties per person.


    After inspecting the Spirit Field Spirit Rice of Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai followed Zhuo Ming to a Rank-3 Spirit Vein a hundred miles away.


    Here was an oasis known as Cangshan Lake.


    Originally an annex of Liu Jia Mountain, Zhuo Ming had transformed all the Spirit Veins here into Spirit Fields, planting a new hybrid developed from crossing Dari Purple Rice with Jade Bud Rice.


    After the master and disciple pair landed, they immediately got into the fields, evaluating the vitality and robust growth of each seedling.


    Luo Yixuan, who had been following all along, pretended to be very interested, tagging along behind them, nodding from time to time.


    Zhuo Ming said, ¡°Based on the current observations, this new rice variety seems like a weakened version of Dari Purple Rice, which requires not only the absorption of Spirit Qi, Earth Qi, and moisture, but also abundant Solar Essence to grow properly.¡±


    Chen Mobai added, ¡°In my experience, this new rice variety should precisely be Rank-3 lower-grade by maturity, which is very suitable for widespread cultivation in environments like that of Rainbow Country.¡±


    Back in his studying days, Chen Mobai was first in Agricultural Studies, the only one of all his firsts that he didn¡¯t cheat in, and it was always a source of pride.


    Within the Immortal Gates, there were many methods for determining the future grade of Spirit Rice before it matures.


    Although there might be a little discrepancy in the end, the approximation is generally very close.


    Chen Mobai recalled this knowledge that he hadn¡¯t used in a long time and reached a conclusion that delighted Zhuo Ming immensely.


    Zhuo Ming exclaimed, ¡°That¡¯s wonderful, this lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Rice will be perfect for Foundation Establishment Practitioners to consume; upon being widely cultivated in the future, it could greatly enhance our sect¡¯s power.¡±


    Chen Mobai commended, ¡°Ming¡¯er, your contribution is profound; centuries from now, every cultivator in the sect who gets to taste this Spirit Rice will owe you gratitude.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming blushed with a bashful smile, and then she didn¡¯t forget to ask Chen Mobai to bestow a name upon this new variety of Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s name it Purple Jade Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai decided that henceforth, the core Spirit Rice researched by the Xiao Nanshan Lineage would all be named with ¡°Jade¡±.


    From the original Jade Bud, Jade Bamboo, to Qing Jade, and now, Purple Jade.


    He hoped that in the future they might also develop a fourth-rank Spirit Rice suitable for widespread cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness.


    As for fifth-rank Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai dared not entertain the notion.


    After all, with the technology of the Immortal Gates, the highest quality Spirit Rice was the Fifth Order Immortal Rice.


    This was beyond what Zhuo Ming could develop.


    After having seen the Purple Jade Rice in Cangshan Lake, the master and his two disciples stayed there for a night, where there were Spirit Fish in the lake that, although with meager spiritual energy at only Rank-1, had tender flesh and crispy bones.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s Storage Bag contained meat from Spiritual Cows and Sheep frozen with her personal cultivation technique.


    In addition to these, she also took out some red willow branches of Rank-3 quality, harvested from a grove found when excavating White River.


    What were considered precious materials by Qi Practitioners and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were merely used by Luo Yixuan as skewers for meat.


    Chen Mobai snapped his fingers, and immediately a purple flame floated in midair.


    The temperature of this flame was perfect for roasting the juices out of the red willow branches, which, when infused into the meat, not only eliminated the gaminess but also dispersed the willow¡¯s unique fragrance into the heart of the flesh.


    Chen Mobai watched as his two disciples cooked fish and roasted meat, suddenly feeling as if he had aged and was ready to enjoy his years in comfort.


    However, upon further reflection, he realized he was already seventy years old ¨C indeed an elderly man among Qi Practitioners.


    After savoring the fish and meat, the master and disciples visited a sand control trial field in Rainbow Country.


    Zhuo Ming had concocted a type of Spiritual Water with Tai Sui Juice, which, when dripped into the sand, endowed it with the ability to retain moisture.


    Desert cultivation¡¯s greatest fear is the lack of water.


    Even if a cultivator displays the Rainfall Technique, the nature of sandy soil means that as soon as the water falls, it quickly filters away, unable to remain on the surface, causing plants to wither and fail to survive due to lack of moisture.


    In the past, the solution to this problem primarily involved selecting spirit plants with particularly developed root systems or those that are drought-resistant, as well as constantly watering them.


    However, after Zhuo Ming arrived, she realized that even if all the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect were brought over, they couldn¡¯t plant vegetation all over Rainbow Country to improve the soil.


    So, before the Dark Waters had been diverted here, she thought of many methods and conducted numerous experiments.


    These were all habits she had acquired in Xiao Nanshan, guided by Chen Mobai.


    Finally, when Tai Sui arrived, she found the key to the solution.


    Spirit Water diluted with Tai Sui Juice, when combined with sand and stone, would acquire the properties of soil, able to retain and lock in moisture without seepage. In such cases, a single use of the Rainfall Technique would be sufficient, as the water stored in the surface sand and stone would keep drought-resistant plants hydrated for months.


    After cycles of green plants dying and reviving, the originally dry and desolate sandstone would begin to show greenery, grass, and microorganisms, slowly beginning to revert to actual soil.


    Once the Dark Waters were diverted over in the future, flowing through all regions of Rainbow Country with enough manpower and resources, Zhuo Ming was confident that within twenty or thirty years, she could transform the desertified Rainbow Country back into green waters and lush mountains.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you might just be the Heavenly Destiny sent by the heavens to save this land!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been busy for years with closed-door cultivation to improve his own level and with unifying the Eastern Wilderness, hadn¡¯t paid much attention to Zhuo Ming¡¯s activities in Rainbow Country and truly didn¡¯t know that she had used Tai Sui to achieve such a feat.


    The more he watched Zhuo Ming, the more he felt that his disciple was extraordinary!


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Master¡¯s excellent teaching!¡±


    Zhuo Ming quickly waved her hands, indicating that without Chen Mobai, she might still be a mere Qi Practitioner, possibly not even having broken through the late stages of Qi Cultivation, aged and preparing for her coffin.


    ¡°Without Master, there wouldn¡¯t be today for me and senior sister!¡±


    Luo Yixuan finally found an opportunity to interject, immediately expressing her loyalty and gratitude to her Master.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily upon hearing this.


    The master and two disciples then wandered around Rainbow Country for half a month before deciding to return to Liu Jia Mountain once they felt Yin Qingmei must have mostly recovered.


    ¡°Greetings Sect Leader!¡±


    Sure enough, Yin Qingmei was already eagerly anticipating their return!


    Seeing the colorful clouds of dawn flying in the sky, she immediately flew up to greet Chen Mobai with a bow.


    Chen Mobai asked her to extend her hand, and after checking her pulse, he confirmed that her essence, qi, and spirit had all returned to their peak condition, and he nodded approvingly.


    Then the four of them landed beneath the Biyu Wutong at the mountain summit.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, go ahead.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke, and Zhuo Ming immediately took out the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and began helping the Biyu Wutong level up.


    While she was occupied, Chen Mobai took the opportunity to teach Luo Yixuan the Practice Together Technique.


    This time, as the Biyu Wutong leveled up, he would control the process using the Practice Together Technique, allowing the three women to experience the transformation of spirit plants and the pressure of facing Heavenly Tribulation.


    Among them, the process of practicing with spiritual power for Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming, and Yin Qingmei was already well-established, only Luo Yixuan hadn¡¯t tried it yet.


    Luo Yixuan was of the water attribute, and she couldn¡¯t directly practice with Chen Mobai; instead, they needed Yin Qingmei, of the wood attribute, to act as a conduit.


    Water nourishes wood, wood nourishes fire, fire nourishes earth!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sadly, they were missing the metal attribute to form a perfect Five Elements practice cycle.


    ¡°Saint Heir, I can simulate metal spiritual power in place of the real thing.¡±


    Elder Ming suddenly emerged from Luo Yixuan¡¯s shadow and spoke out.


    Then it was complete!


    It was the perfect opportunity to verify the speculation about the Primordial Dao Fruit!

 Chapter 1267 - Chapter 1267 Chapter 697 Trying the Primordial Dao Fruit

    Chapter 1267: Chapter 697: Trying the Primordial Dao Fruit (22,400 Monthly Votes Bonus) Chapter 1267: Chapter 697: Trying the Primordial Dao Fruit (22,400 Monthly Votes Bonus) Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s peak!


    Chen Mobai, three others, and a ghost, formed a circle around the Biyu Wutong Tree, each stationed according to the positions of the Five Elements Formation.


    Zhuo Ming introduced a drop of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations into the trunk of the Biyu Wutong Tree. This drop finally combined with the previous ones and ultimately triggered the Level Up.


    The Spirit Tree, over ten meters tall, began to tremble slightly. Its bark slowly cracked open, revealing the trunk, from which streams of thick nature¡¯s spiritual energy surged and were ceaselessly absorbed by the lush Biyu Wutong Tree, aiding it in refining the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    At this moment, Yin Qingmei, standing to the right of Chen Mobai, had already closed her eyes to operate the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, her Divine Sense leaving her body to merge with the Destiny Spirit Plant before her, beginning to wholeheartedly feel the process of this Level Up.


    Subsequently, through the circulation of Spiritual Power generated by the mutual production of the Five Elements, this sensation was also perceived by Chen Mobai through the Practice Together Technique.


    However, for a Cultivator of Chen Mobai¡¯s Realm, this was more like a slightly intense exercise. Although he also felt some vibrations, they were far from as earth-shaking as those experienced by Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei.


    After completing the cycle of Mutual Production of the Five Elements with the Practice Together Technique, their consciousnesses, following Yin Qingmei, transformed into the Biyu Wutong Tree that was currently undergoing its Level Up.


    Between heaven and earth, spiritual energy was naturally drawn by the Biyu Wutong Tree, turning into strands of rainbow light that shone upon the trunk, branches, and leaves.


    But this Level Up of the Biyu Wutong Tree was forcefully triggered by the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn¡¯t be able to spontaneously break through until after Yin Qingmei reached Core Formation.


    Therefore, they all felt a discomfort as if their bodies were being stretched to their limits.


    Soon, after the bark had cracked open, even the trunk couldn¡¯t withstand it and began to split open with tiny cracks.


    This was a sign of insufficient accumulation within the Spirit Tree.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, draw in the Earth Spirit Energy. Xuan, perform the Rainfall Technique. Qing Mei, assist with refining the tree body¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice suddenly resonated in the minds of the three women, and like marionettes on strings, they began to act upon his guidance.


    Quickly, the Biyu Wutong Tree came to possess Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Earth Cultivation Realm. The turbulent Earth Spirit Energy at the summit of Liu Jia Mountain began to calm and soften, proactively aiding the Spirit Tree in neutralizing Spiritual Power and refining the increasingly potent Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    Then, clouds appeared in the sky, heralding Luo Yixuan¡¯s use of the Biyu Wutong Tree to perform the Rainfall Technique. As it was under her control, the rainfall was just right to make the Spirit Tree most comfortable.


    With no need to worry about the Earth Spirit Energy or moisture, Yin Qingmei devoted herself to the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and began to overcome the bottleneck from Rank-2 to Rank-3.


    Chen Mobai sensed all this in his heart and was amazed to see how effortlessly the three women had reached the perfect state of the Practice Together Technique.


    ¡°It is because you, Saint Heir, occupy the pivotal position that their Realm is determined by yours.¡±


    It was Elder Ming, who was merely participating from one angle, who saw most clearly.


    During her lifetime, she had also practiced the Practice Together Technique with other members of the Longevity Sect, but at most, it was just three Cultivators practicing together.


    Because this would entrust the control of Spiritual Power to the one with the highest Cultivation Level. If this pivotal person wished, within a single thought, they could strip the rest of their Spiritual Power completely.


    Within the Longevity Sect, the Practice Together Technique was practiced only by those who shared a life-and-death bond.


    Elder Ming sensed Chen Mobai¡¯s central leadership and couldn¡¯t help but feel moved.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai had also closed his eyes, starting to verify his guesses about the Primordial Dao Fruit!


    After Zhou Ye passed on this Cultivation Technique to the Formless Puppet, he brought it to Chen Mobai with the utmost haste. After contemplating it for two days and relying on the power of the Enlightenment Tea, he quickly understood it thoroughly.


    After penetrating its essence, Chen Mobai found it quite straightforward.


    Because the practice method for the Primordial Dao Fruit was to follow the generating sequence of the Five Elements, with Earth-element Spiritual Power as the hub, to contain and refine the other Four Elements Spiritual Power¨Cone element at a time¨Cuniting the Five Elements and cultivating Primordial True Qi!


    When it came to the process of cultivating Primordial True Qi, there were numerous methods and tricks. If one didn¡¯t have the complete heart method of the Primordial Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai could never have imagined them.


    But even with full understanding, Chen Mobai could not practice it.


    This required Earth-element Qi cultivated by the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.


    The detailed reason was not explained in the Primordial Dao Fruit text, but by combining his knowledge from the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai roughly came to a conclusion.


    The Spiritual Power cultivated from the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root contains the profound mystery of the Innate Earth Essence Qi, which is likely the key to practicing the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    This made him very uncomfortable!


    Having obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit with great difficulty, he was unable to practice it.


    It should be noted that even Zhuo Ming had only managed to find twenty-one strands of Qi of Creation over the years. Even after refining them, she was still unable to combine them into a complete strand of Innate Earth Essence Qi.


    That is to say, even if the Earth Spirit Root was enhanced to 80 points, it would not suffice.


    In the instant Chen Mobai comprehended the Primordial Dao Fruit with the help of Enlightenment Tea, he felt a chilling disappointment, as if decades of hard work had been wasted.


    But in such a situation, he had a stroke of inspiration and thought of the Primordial Stone Mo Douguang had shown him back at Golden Cliff.


    There were two methods to practice the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    One was Zhou Ye¡¯s orthodox practice method, and the other was taught to Mo Douguang by Ancestor Hunyuan, which he could not pass on due to the limitations of his Dao Heart oath.


    But Mo Douguang had hinted very plainly.


    Chen Mobai, after receiving the Primordial Dao Fruit technique from Zhou Ye, began to meticulously recall every detail of his experience with the Primordial Stone.


    Perhaps the merit from opening the two great rivers finally came to fruition, for after sitting in meditation for three days and combining the orthodox Primordial Dao Fruit, he actually conceived another method for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Primordial True Qi is the unity of the Five Elements!


    If he didn¡¯t use Earth-element Spiritual Power as the hub and instead used Fire-element as the core, utilizing the Technique of Cultivating Together with the Five Elements, and assimilating and refining the other four elements¡¯ Spiritual Powers, could it be possible to unify the Five Elements and cultivate Primordial True Qi?


    Mo Douguang, being close to possessing a Heavenly Gold Spirit Root, was instructed by Ancestor Hunyuan to try using the Gold Element Spiritual Power as the core, but lacking Innate Gold-element Essence Qi, led to his wasting nearly a hundred years and still only managing to cultivate a trace of Primordial True Qi.


    But Chen Mobai was different. Although his Heavenly Fire Spirit Root was also acquired, during his Wen Dao Foundation Establishment, he had obtained an Innate Fire Spirit Body, which contained a strand of Innate Fire-element Essence Qi within his body.


    That is to say, as long as Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the Primordial Stone at Golden Cliff was correct, he could attempt to use his own Pure Yang Spiritual Power as the core, assimilating and refining the other four elements¡¯ Spiritual Powers, to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Coincidentally, Biyu Wutong¡¯s leveling up allowed for the Five Elements to be cultivated together.


    Chen Mobai thus took this opportunity to test his hypothesis.


    While keeping half of his Heart and Mind on Yin Qingmei and the two other ladies, he took a sliver of Spiritual Power that they hadn¡¯t noticed.


    Only Elder Ming noticed this.


    She saw that at the twelve-story residence of Chen Mobai, besides the original fiery red Spiritual Power, there were now four strands of gold, blue, black, and earth-yellow Spiritual Powers shining.


    The Five Elements Spiritual Power had reached a perfect balance, and then it began to circulate and unite with the fiery red Spiritual Power as the hub.


    Chen Mobai had discussed the Primordial Dao Fruit with Elder Ming several times, so she knew what this Saint Heir was cultivating.


    Although Elder Ming disapproved of the Saint Heir not focusing on the Chidi Puzhao Jing, thus wasting his talent, the Primordial Dao Fruit was, after all, left by True Lord Yuan, so she greatly approved of Chen Mobai¡¯s attempt to cultivate this Divine Technique.


    After all, it was the most powerful Divine Skill of the Ascended Monk who established the Holy Land.


    Ascendance is the realm that monks of the Longevity Sect have dreamt of through the ages!


    Under Elder Ming¡¯s observation, she soon realized that Chen Mobai seemed unable to control the unification process of the Five Elements and consistently failed to refine the Five Types of Spiritual Power into Primordial True Qi.


    After several attempts, the strand of Spiritual Power he had taken was finally exhausted.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes with a hint of regret.


    He felt his approach was correct but could not cultivate the Primordial True Qi.


    After carefully recalling the Primordial Dao Fruit technique taught by Zhou Ye, he found that there was no issue in his cultivation steps; he had merely converted the hub¡¯s Earth Element Spiritual Power into Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Could it be that after this change, the process of assimilating and refining the remaining four elements¡¯ Spiritual Powers also needed corresponding adjustments?


    But that would require a lot of trial and error.


    At this thought, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    At the Immortal Gate, the artificial creation of Earthly Fiendish Qi required thousands of experiments to confirm a single change in the essence of the Five Elements.


    If he wanted to modify the Primordial Dao Fruit by himself, using Fire Element Spiritual Power as the core, then he feared that not even finishing the pot of Enlightenment Tea given by Ren Xuewei would be enough.


    With a sigh,


    Chen Mobai decided to set aside the Primordial Dao Fruit for now.


    If this were an Immortal Gate Divine Technique, he reckoned any problem would have a solution.


    It¡¯s a pity that for the Primordial Dao Fruit, within the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye had tried it.


    Among them, Mo Douguang, limited by his Dao Heart oath, could not communicate with Chen Mobai.


    As for Zhou Ye, he has always cultivated using orthodox methods, so asking him would probably not yield any answers. However, grasping at straws, when it was time to send that Jade Pendant to Nu Jiang, he would have the Formless Puppet ask Zhou Ye.


    In the midst of Chen Mobai¡¯s sighing, the thick Spiritual Energy, Earth Qi, water vapor, and sunlight on the mountaintop of Liu Jia Mountain were suddenly drained away by Biyu Wutong.


    This signified that Biyu Wutong¡¯s leveling up was successful.


    Now at Rank-3, it absorbed and refined these with an efficiency far exceeding that of its time at Rank-2 by over a dozen times.


    At this moment, the sky suddenly grew dark.


    Whispers of chilling wind, carrying piercing sharpness, drifted down from the infinite plateaus of the west.


    The cold wind, like a knife, grazed past Biyu Wutong, immediately causing leaves to fall and branches to be cut with deep visible wounds.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the most common Heavenly Tribulation for Spirit Wood and Spirit Plants leveling up.


    The Gold Wind Tribulation!


    Chen Mobai felt the awe and fear in the hearts of the three women and immediately reassured them not to be afraid.


    Following his command, Yin Qingmei quickly executed the arduously cultivated One-Leaf Blindness Technique.


    In an instant, the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated!

 Chapter 1268 - Chapter 1268 Chapter 698

    Chapter 1268: Chapter 698 Chapter 1268: Chapter 698 This was also the first time Chen Mobai had witnessed the practical application of the One-Leaf Blindness in shielding from Heavenly Tribulation.


    One could only say that the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect were indeed useful!


    Although under the Practice Together Technique, Biyu Wutong was not incapable of transcending tribulation, it was better to wait until the realm was consolidated and more assured before transcending, wasn¡¯t it?


    After the Heavenly Tribulation had dissipated, Chen Mobai maintained the practice together state for a while longer.


    It was not until the three women each had their Divine Sense return to them that they began to disengage.


    Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei first opened their eyes and immediately got up to pay their respects to Chen Mobai.


    Only Zhuo Ming kept her eyes closed.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was exceptionally caring towards this cherished disciple, immediately prepared to use the Art of Spiritual Eyes to observe her vital energy.


    However, soon, the pure Earth energy coming from all around made his face show a sudden realization.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s happening to Sister Zhuo?¡±


    Luo Yixuan looked worriedly at Zhuo Ming, expressing her concern.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase, what a good thing!¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, taking the two women away from the area, leaving the space for Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Zhuo Shimei has finally reached this step too.¡±


    Yin Qingmei, upon hearing this, also showed a face of joy.


    Over the years, she and Zhuo Ming had cooperated sincerely in Rainbow Country and had long become close as sisters.


    The area of Liu Jia Mountain had long been transformed into her own Domain by Zhuo Ming through All Things Spiritual Communication. Moreover, right beside her was the recently advanced to Rank-3 Biyu Wutong, which sensed her breakthrough and immediately helped to filter the spiritual energy unsuitable for Earth Mother Cultivation, capturing it from the outside.


    Under these circumstances where heaven and earth united in effort, Zhuo Ming merely meditated for three days and nights, naturally reaching the overflowing state of spiritual power, unobstructedly breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase.


    After another three days, Zhuo Ming consolidated her realm and opened her radiant eyes, her face full of joy.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    After her breakthrough, Zhuo Ming naturally went to find Chen Mobai first, who seemed to be giving a lecture to Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei, both of whom were sitting upright with serious demeanor.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er has come, just in time to listen too, as you will eventually need this knowledge.¡±


    Chen Mobai, sitting on a large rock, beckoned to Zhuo Ming, who immediately stepped forward and respectfully paid her respects.


    Chen Mobai was discussing the topic of Core Formation.


    Of the three women present, Yin Qingmei had already reached Foundation Establishment Completion. Through this synchronization with her Destiny Spirit Plant, her Essence, Qi, and Spirit were perfect, only waiting for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to commence the step of Core Formation.


    And Luo Yixuan, needless to say, had already essentially achieved Core Formation. Although it was not her realm, by orderly accumulating and purifying spiritual power and enhancing Divine Sense, she could easily attain true Core Formation.


    The only worry was that when she formed her core, the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s power would certainly be great.


    However, these issues solvable by external objects were, for Chen Mobai, the easiest to resolve; at most, he could lend a top-ranked Defensive Magic Weapon to her.


    With Zhuo Ming now breaking through to Foundation Establishment Late Phase, she could also consider the situation of forming her core.


    After all, from Foundation Establishment Late Phase to Perfection, there was no bottleneck, and she just needed to enhance her spiritual power moving forward.


    Thinking of enhancing spiritual power, Chen Mobai remembered the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    If he remembered correctly, Zhuo Ming had only consumed two Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits.


    According to his experience, she could still consume three more.


    Although the last three put together were only nearly half as effective as the first one, at least they could save her nine years of hard effort.


    Compared to other disciples, Chen Mobai might worry about a shaky foundation, but Zhuo Ming had no such concerns.


    Sometimes, Chen Mobai even felt her foundation was firmer than his own.


    This was the first time Zhuo Ming heard about Core Formation, and she couldn¡¯t help but focus intently, her expression serious.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, your realm has broken through, making your teacher very pleased. This Nirvana Dan shall be your gift.¡±


    After he finished speaking, Chen Mobai took out a bottle of Elixir from his Domain.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. Your disciple is ignorant, how should this Nirvana Dan be consumed?¡±


    Zhuo Ming was somewhat surprised as she received the Elixir from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand. Within the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, Elixirs were only used as aids during breakthroughs.


    And because of Zhuo Ming¡¯s solid foundation, her breakthroughs had mostly been natural, so this was the first time she received an Elixir from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This pill is a Third Rank Superior Grade¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained the function of this Elixir, Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei both gleamed with envy, looking eagerly at the Nirvana Dan Zhuo Ming held.

    ¡°Master, this is too precious, and being a Third Rank Superior Grade, with my current realm, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t refine it.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was startled upon hearing this, never expecting such a mysterious Elixir.


    ¡°Keep it. I will also teach you a technique ¡®Soak to Annihilate.¡¯ This technique is one of the twenty-four Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect, which allows you to deal with things you normally can¡¯t digest by gradually weakening them.¡±


    ¡°Like vast mountains and rivers, under the ¡®Soak to Annihilate,¡¯ they can first turn into boulders, then shatter into pebbles, and finally into dust, dispersing into the universe.¡±


    ¡°This technique can also be applied to low-level cultivators consuming high-level elixirs. With your current realm, naturally you can¡¯t refine the Nirvana Dan, but using this technique, you can seal away most of the Elixir¡¯s power, extracting only what you can digest.¡±

 Chapter 1269 - Chapter 1269 Chapter 698_2

    Chapter 1269: Chapter 698_2 Chapter 1269: Chapter 698_2 ¡°This Nirvana Dan can directly promote your Ninefold Law Body to the third rank. With this, your core formation is almost a certainty,¡±


    Originally, Ye Bopei had sent over two Nirvana Dans. Each person could only take one of these elixirs, and Chen Mobai kept one for himself to bring his Longevity Dao Body to the second level of perfection.


    As for the remaining one, after a long time of consideration, he decided to give it to Zhuo Ming.


    After all, this disciple had worked hard and dedicated herself to the task without a single complaint since she became his apprentice.


    Furthermore, the Technique of Gradual Destruction obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm was of the earth attribute.


    This technique was the exact opposite of the Jiamu Divergent Evolution.


    One triggered a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation, while the other eroded until it turned to dust.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, hearing this, no longer refused and excitedly stored the Nirvana Dan in her storage bag.


    Chen Mobai also reminded her that this elixir contained dan poison, and after taking it, she would need to drink Green Charm Spiritual Tea daily.


    Zhuo Ming listened and nodded continuously.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai taught the Technique of Gradual Destruction to Zhuo Ming, and Yin Qingmei stood up as if to leave, but Chen Mobai told her there was no need to go.


    If she could also master this grand technique, it would be even better.


    Luo Yixuan was already accustomed to it, and no matter what Chen Mobai discussed, she would listen by his side and not miss a single word of the Master.


    After imparting this grand spell, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, wondering whether or not to teach Zhuo Ming the Primordial Dao Fruit as well.


    After all, this treasured disciple might very well gather enough Qi of Creation in the future to meet the requirements for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    But Chen Mobai quickly realized that since Zhuo Ming had just reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment, teaching her the Primordial Dao Fruit too early could do more harm than good.


    The renowned title of ¡®The First Divine Skill of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯ would surely distract her; it might even lead her to waste too much time on the Primordial Dao Fruit, much like Mo Douguang.


    It would be better to wait until after her core formation.


    Having thought it through, Chen Mobai put aside this idea.


    By now, all matters concerning Liu Jia Mountain had been taken care of.


    Although Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei wanted to persuade Chen Mobai to stay for a few more days to enjoy various delicacies in Rainbow Country, Chen Mobai, driven by a strong sense of enterprise, outright refused.


    With his grand undertaking still unfulfilled, how could he afford such idleness?


    He took Luo Yixuan back to Northern Abyss City and then called for Luo Xue¡¯er.


    With the completion of the Mo River Project, she could be considered to have achieved her goal. Now, it was time to earn contributions and repay the debt for the elixir of the heterodox golden core she had purchased on credit.


    Chen Mobai directly assigned her a task.


    Liu Jia Mountain needed to transplant a third rank peak Golden Sun Spirit Tree, to prepare for later turning Everlife Soil to the fourth rank and initiating the process of transforming Everlife Soil.


    Transplanting a spirit tree from Giant Tree Ridge to Rainbow Country, crossing nearly half of the Eastern Wilderness, was impossible via the Teleportation Array, so it required a Golden Core Cultivator who also understood spirit plant cultivation.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, previously the head of the Spirit Plant Department with the skills of a third-rank Spirit Plant Master, was the most suitable person in the sect for this job besides Chen Mobai himself.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er accepted the task without hesitation. Still, Chen Mobai advised her to discuss it with Zhuo Ming in Rainbow Country before leaving, suggesting that it would be best if the two of them went back to Giant Tree Ridge together.


    This matter was concerned with the future foundation of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s grand enterprise in Rainbow Country¨Cafter all, if they could have a fourth-rank Everlife Wood as a stronghold, they could then start expanding into the entire Boundless Sand Sea, attempting to reclaim this wasteland that had been ravaged by locusts for tens of thousands of years.


    This great deed had long been part of Chen Mobai¡¯s plans.


    With Zhuo Ming accompanying Luo Xue¡¯er, whether it was choosing the Golden Sun Spirit Tree or taking care of it on the journey, he could rest assured.


    Luo Xue¡¯er felt somewhat displeased upon hearing this.


    ¡°She has already achieved Core Formation, sending her to look for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zhuo Ming would have been beneath her.¡±


    But when she thought of Zhuo Ming¡¯s identity, the words that reached her lips turned into: ¡°All right.¡±


    After Luo Xue¡¯er left, Chen Mobai went to inspect the mountaintop of Northern Abyss City. There, too, he had buried a portion of Everlife Soil and had performed the Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.


    Unfortunately, the Spirit Vein here had been forcibly elevated to Rank-4, and compared to Liu Jia Mountain, it seemed somewhat weaker.


    Furthermore, due to his long-term seclusion and without Zhuo Ming¡¯s constant care, the evolution of the Everlife Soil here was far slower than that of Liu Jia Mountain.


    However, this was also good as it provided an opportunity to first conduct experiments at Liu Jia Mountain.


    After all, this place was destined to be the center of the Eastern Wilderness as designated by Chen Mobai, and if the advancement of the Golden Sun Spirit Tree failed, it would not look good for him as the Sect Leader.


    Because here there was a Rank-4 Mountain Suppression Stone, and in the future, it was also necessary to use this as the core to upgrade the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation of Northern Abyss City to Rank-4, Chen Mobai did not resort to using Supreme-grade Spirit Stones as a replacement.


    After inspecting the Spirit Vein of Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai, seeing Luo Yixuan fluttering before his eyes every day, wanting some peace, excused himself using his imminent breakthrough in cultivation as a reason and sent her off to pioneer in the borderlands of Dark Water.


    Left with no choice but to leave reluctantly, Luo Yixuan took with her experienced river-digging monks from the Divine Wood Sect, well-rested after Two Rivers¡¯ opening, and a large contingent set off grandly on a Flying Boat towards Rainbow Country.


    Besides the Divine Wood Sect monks, over the years, the wealthy families who had profited from contracting the river channels also act swiftly at the news, self-financing their provisions, and followed Luo Yixuan.


    After thousands of monks were taken away, the once bustling Northern Abyss City suddenly appeared much emptier.


    This left E Yun somewhat worried as the Divine Wood Sect monks and the wealthy families, who became rich from digging the river channels in recent days, had properly unleashed a decade¡¯s worth of hard work here.


    Feasting daily on Spiritual Wine and delicacies, purchasing Magic Artifacts and Elixirs all with generous spending, trading volumes in Northern Abyss City reached a peak in the city¡¯s history.


    Because there was still the development of Dark Water and the Eastern Desolation Plateau in the future, it was clear that these monks could earn Spirit Stones for the next few decades as long as they were willing to endure hard work.


    So, many far-sighted people began to find ways to settle in Northern Abyss City.


    And to settle down, naturally, they had to buy houses.


    But after the outside threat of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was no more, the housing prices in Northern Abyss City climbed steadily, and after the Divine Wood Sect took over the Five Elements Sect this year, it doubled directly.


    Still, buyers kept streaming in.


    Even though the Loose Cultivators had made quite a few Spirit Stones over the years through the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s mega-projects, faced with the soaring housing prices that kept rising every day, they could only shake their heads and sigh.


    In light of this situation, Song Huangdae stepped in!


    He announced that the Little Nan Mountain Shop was willing to lend Spirit Stones to financially clean Loose Cultivators, helping them secure a Cave Dwelling right away with the option to pay back in installments over several decades.


    Of course, since this was a loan, due to the high risk, there would be some interest involved as well. Roughly between 3% to 8%.


    The shorter the term, the lower the interest, and the longer the term, the correspondingly higher the interest.


    Considering this, many Loose Cultivators did some calculations.


    Currently, the most ordinary Rank-1 Cave Dwelling, priced at full market value, was about five thousand Spirit Stones.


    Paying over fifty years, they¡¯d have to repay just over eight Spirit Stones a month, with interest being less than one Spirit Stone.


    This was an extremely good deal!


    But even so, some of the cautious cultivators who had frugality ingrained in their bones decided to wait and see.


    Then, on the second day after the Little Nan Mountain Shop introduced mortgage lending, the threshold was literally trampled.


    In just one day, Song Huangdae lent out nearly a million Spirit Stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And that was because he had eliminated many Loose Cultivators who had no repayment ability and only thought of taking the Spirit Stones to flee far away.


    What these cultivators who borrowed the Spirit Stones didn¡¯t know was that the Divine Wood Sect had registered the Cave Dwellings they got over to them, which were actually owned by the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    These lent out Spirit Stones, after making a full circle at the Divine Wood Sect, found their way back to the accounts of the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    And this batch of housing transactions caused what was recently a relatively stable housing market to surge again.


    This made the waiting Loose Cultivators unable to sit still any longer, one after another they approached the Little Nan Mountain Shop, applying for mortgages.

 Chapter 1270 - Chapter 1270 Chapter 699

    Chapter 1270: Chapter 699 Chapter 1270: Chapter 699 Soon,


    those who applied for housing loans at Little Nan Mountain Shop all noticed something.


    That was, if they signed a labor contract with the Divine Wood Sect, the review process would go extremely smoothly, and they could almost always get approved.


    The longer they signed on with the Divine Wood Sect, the faster their applications would be approved.


    This was equivalent to the Divine Wood Sect guaranteeing that they would have the ability to repay the loan by earning Spirit Stones from the development of the Dark Water and Eastern Desolation Plateau projects over the next few decades.


    After realizing this, many loose cultivators who had been turned down at the loan review stage tried to find ways to join the super project of the Divine Wood Sect and become part of the workforce.


    E Yun suddenly faced a happy dilemma.


    After Luo Yixuan had taken away the elite cultivators they had trained over the past decade, his progress in developing Spirit Fields and breeding industries in Rock Country had slowed down considerably.


    But with this new workforce, he was confident that he could exceed all the ten-year goals set out by Chen Mobai, such as the cultivation of Spirit Field Spirit Rice and livestock, within five years.


    He even began to be selective.


    He kept the loose cultivators with clean backgrounds and outstanding Cultivation Levels, while most of those who were unsatisfactory were sent to work for the neighboring Sky Country.


    King Zhou Wangshen, upon knowing that E Yun had sent him so many workers, even thought that this junior brother was quite decent.


    After half a year¡¯s operation,


    General Song Huang had sold all the properties in Northern Abyss City that he had accumulated due to the war. Although the majority of the loose cultivators¡¯ Spirit Stones were loans from him, there was no increase in his accounts¨Cin fact, it had somewhat diminished.


    After all, there were some slippery loose cultivators who did not immediately buy a house after getting the loan.


    Instead, they thought about gambling it all away, or indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, or even ran away out of greed, creating bad debts for various reasons.


    However, as long as these people were still alive, they would typically be caught and brought back by the Divine Wood Sect.


    E Yun did not show a good face to this group of people. He directly sent them to the most laborious mines and quarries, where Sect Disciples supervised them working tirelessly, only granting them freedom after they had paid off all their debt.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, only briefly pointed this out to General Song Huang, talked about the concept of housing loans, asked E Yun to cooperate, and then did not interfere further.


    It was not that he used the excuse of seclusion to send Luo Yixuan to develop the Dark Water, but he truly had a breakthrough.


    His Pure Yang Daoist Body, after ten years of Cultivation, had finally undergone the second transformation of the Eight Suns Body.


    [Gold 23, Wood 50, Water 40, Fire 96, Earth 60]!


    Looking at the data of his Spiritual Root now, Chen Mobai began to look forward to the moment when his Fire Spirit Root reached 100 points.


    According to the theories of Immortal Gates, that would be an Immortal Spirit Root!


    In the past, Yuanyang Ancestor was trained by Divinity Transformation with the Immortal Technique ¨C Mending the Heaven, which also meant a Fire Spirit Root of 100 points.


    He wondered if there were any new gains upon reaching that stage.


    Thinking so, Chen Mobai felt his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, which was very close to the perfection of the Jindan Sixth Layer and couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly troubled.


    Based on his estimates, he would be able to reach the perfection of the Jindan Sixth Layer by next year, and with the Flame Lighting Technique, purify Essence, Qi, and Spirit to ensure a solid foundation.


    But the Pure Yang Scroll was meant to complement the Pure Yang Daoist Body, and without completing the Eight Suns Body, he would not be able to break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    According to his current rate of Cultivation, he would need at least another ten years to complete the Eight Suns and advance to the Nine Suns.


    If Chen Mobai needed to improve his Pure Yang Spiritual Power by Cultivation, he could accept such a long time.


    But the problem was that he had already improved his Spiritual Power by consuming five Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits.


    Waiting another ten years for a breakthrough was somewhat intolerable.


    However, Pure Yang Spiritual Power and Pure Yang Daoist Body complement each other, and a breakthrough could not be achieved without either. This was written in the introduction to the Divinity Transformation Technique, improved by Yuanyang Ancestor.


    At this point, Chen Mobai could finally understand Qin Beichen¡¯s feelings.


    He, with the help of Spirit Stones, found the Cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body still felt slow.


    Qin Beichen, who could only rely on his Bitter Cultivation¨Ceven with an excellent Fire Spiritual Vein like Crimson Mountain¨Cfelt desperate about the time it took to Cultivate the Pure Yang Spiritual Power and the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    He needed to find a way to resolve this issue.


    Thinking so, Chen Mobai took out the Nirvana Dan.


    Initially, he planned to wait until he had achieved the second level of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, obtaining immunity to all poisons, before consuming this Elixir.


    But the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body made him realize that he might need several more years before he could attempt to break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    A year or two to neutralize the Dan Poison would not make much difference.


    As an advocate of the Sect of Realms, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated and directly popped the verified Dan into his mouth.


    With his Realm, he did not need any elaborate process to refine the Elixir.


    A scorching torrent of heat cascaded down from Chen Mobai¡¯s Daoist Body, flowing through his organs and beginning to merge into every part of his flesh and bones.


    The agony of nearly melting and reconstituting one¡¯s body, which would be unbearable for other cultivators, felt to him like sipping a cup of hot water.


    The Nirvana Dan, as the name implies, was a fire-attribute Elixir, and for Chen Mobai, who possessed a Fire Spirit Body, it was like taking a bath.


    His body began to sweat profusely, and he even found it extremely refreshing.


    ¡°`


    But soon, Chen Mobai also felt that his essence and blood began to transform and sublime amidst the power of the elixir.


    This process required the absorption of potent Spiritual Energy.


    He had already grasped a fully charged Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, and besides that, there was also a large basin full of Longevity Dew.


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth, like a giant whale sucking in water, and drank more than half of the Longevity Dew.


    With this key Spiritual Object for Cultivating the Longevity Dao Body, the efficacy of the Nirvana Dan was brought out even more splendidly.


    Chen Mobai felt the boundless Spiritual Energy surging from the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in his palm, which, under the effect of the Nirvana Dan and together with the Longevity Dew, began to merge and was refined into his flesh and bones, strand by strand.


    Chen Mobai had already simulated this process countless times with the Formless Puppet.


    All the external auxiliary conditions had been optimized.


    This basin of Longevity Dew, refined by Zeng Woyou for five consecutive years, would suffice to bring Chen Mobai¡¯s Longevity Dao Body to the Perfection of the Second Level if entirely refined.


    After an indeterminate period, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense awoke as if from a warm embrace.


    He slowly opened his eyes and felt the essence and blood within his body had nearly tripled in size, leading him to burst into loud laughter.


    With meticulous preparations, the consumption of the Nirvana Dan had occurred without a hitch.


    The Longevity Dao Body comprises three levels.


    Immortal, Undying, and Longevity, corresponding respectively to the Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul Realms.


    Now he had achieved the Perfection of Undying, which was equivalent to Rank-3 Perfection.


    From this point on, even if Chen Mobai was decapitated, as long as his head was reattached promptly, he could survive.


    And if other parts, such as the heart, were shattered, as long as there was sufficient essence blood, they could be easily regenerated and healed.


    However, Undying did not imply true immortality.


    There were still two vulnerabilities.


    The Dantian Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion!


    If these two places were struck, even the Longevity Dao Body at the Perfection of Undying could not regenerate.


    But if one cultivates to the third level¨Cthe Longevity Realm¨Cthen the weakness of the Dantian Qi Sea would be mitigated.


    And if the Longevity Dao Body is further sublimated after that, even the last vulnerability of the Purple Palace Sea of Knowledge would vanish.


    But that would mean practicing one of the Longevity Sect¡¯s Twenty-Four Great Dao Techniques, the Longevity Technique!


    In this regard, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know whether it was possible for him to achieve it, given that since the Longevity Dao Body was first established, Ancestor Hunyuan only managed to cultivate to the Longevity Realm.


    It was uncertain whether True Lord Yuan ultimately cultivated the Longevity Technique on Giant Tree Ridge by directly mastering this grand spell, or whether he sublimated it based on the foundation of the Longevity Dao Body.


    This answer, would it be possible to find out in the Yiyuan Mijing?


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai was getting ready to consolidate his realm when suddenly he felt a stirring in his heart.


    A Message Talisman flew to the mountaintop of Northern Abyss City and stopped in front of the Large Formation where he was in seclusion.


    It was seeking him!


    And the Talismans that could directly find him were all personally sent by him.


    Chen Mobai was particularly familiar with this Message Talisman because he had sent it to someone he especially cared about.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression turned serious instantly, and he quit his cultivation retreat directly.


    A Cultivator with a spirited presence, wearing a light blue Daoist robe, with dark skin but handsome, well-proportioned features, stood waiting in the great hall of the Northern Abyss City.


    Seeing Chen Mobai descend on multicolored clouds, Nu Jiang revealed a smile on his face and greeted him with a bow.


    ¡°Brother Nu Jiang, you¡¯ve worked hard on your mission to Dongwu.¡±


    Chen Mobai politely addressed Nu Jiang and then invited him to sit in his own hall, where E Yun quickly arranged for a Female Cultivator to serve tea.


    Nu Jiang smiled slightly and took out a box from his Storage Bag, handing it to Chen Mobai.


    After receiving and opening it, Chen Mobai finally relaxed.


    Inside was a Spirit Grass shimmering with water-blue Spiritual Light, with four sword-shaped leaves branching out¨Cthe main ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, a Rank-4 Sky Blue Silver Light Grass.


    Nu Jiang: ¡°The Sun family gave me some face.¡±


    The two began to discuss the recent trip to Dongwu. Apart from acquiring the Sky Blue Silver Light Grass, Nu Jiang had another mission¨Cto inform the Sun family about the reunification of the Five Elements Sect.


    It was for this reason that the Sun family was willing to sell the grass to Nu Jiang.


    It was respect given to the newly unified Five Elements Meridians of the vast Eastern Wilderness.


    With the successful completion of the task and the preciousness of a Rank-4 medicinal herb, plus the recent years of the Demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze lying dormant, Nu Jiang personally delivered it to Northern Abyss City.

    Chen Mobai thanked him and then spoke to him about the matter of the Yiyuan Mijing.


    ¡°There¡¯s that matter. Then I¡¯ll ask Junior Brother Chen to make a trip there.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked him again and mentioned the matter of the Yiyuan Mijing.

 Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1271 Chapter 700 Recollections of the Netherworld

    Chapter 1271: Chapter 700: Recollections of the Netherworld Mansion Chapter 1271: Chapter 700: Recollections of the Netherworld Mansion Song Huangdae received a summons from Chen Mobai and came to the great hall of Northern Abyss City.


    Upon entering, he immediately saw his ancestral master deep in conversation with E Yun of the Water Vein, both appearing quite amicable.


    ¡°Senior brother, this is the disciple I¡¯ve told you about. He may need your care in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately gestured for Song Huangdae to come forward to meet E Yun, who, out of respect for Chen Mobai, gave a nod of acknowledgment to Song Huangdae, who was still in his Qi Cultivation phase.


    ¡°Greetings, E Yun the True Person!¡±


    After greeting him, Song Huangdae departed.


    Over the years, this disciple had handled various duties and trivial matters in Northern Abyss City well. This time, by clearing the property inventory and securing the allegiance of over a thousand Loose Cultivators for the development of the Eastern Desolation Plateau, he had brought ample manpower, much to Chen Mobai¡¯s satisfaction.


    Thus, he decided to give him an opportunity.


    Chen Mobai planned to assign him to oversee matters related to the All-Transforming Thunder Pond at Wind Rain Hamlet.


    Whether he succeeded or failed, it was worth attempting; even failure would amount to valuable experience.


    ¡°After the matters of the Yiyuan Secret Realm are concluded, have your junior come inform me.¡±


    E Yun had spent several days in Northern Abyss City already. With a penchant for fine food, the beef, lamb, and fish cultivated on the Eastern Desolation Plateau offered a unique taste compared to Cloud Dream Ze. Therefore, at Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation, he had been indulging until now.


    ¡°I will see off the senior brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t yet passed the blueprints for the All-Transforming Thunder Pond to Song Huangdae, so he wouldn¡¯t be dispatched to Wind Rain Hamlet immediately. He needed to remain for additional training.


    After seeing off E Yun, Song Huangdae, waiting outside the great hall, was called in by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I pay homage to the ancestral master!¡±


    A mix of excitement and nervousness filled Song Huangdae. With his experience, he knew that Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction to E Yun the True Person meant that there were tasks to be assigned.


    ¡°I have an All-Transforming Thunder Pond that needs to be constructed over the Spirit Vein in Wind Rain Hamlet. Because it¡¯s of great importance, I can only entrust it to someone by my side. Are you willing?¡±


    In his usual direct manner, Chen Mobai quickly revealed why he had summoned Song Huangdae.


    ¡°To relieve the ancestral master of his burdens would be a great honor for me.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Song Huangdae performed a deep bow, accepting the task.


    ¡°Good, here are the blueprints for the All-Transforming Thunder Pond; take a look at them. Return after a month if you have any questions.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the already-prepared Jade Slip from his Storage Bag, and Song Huangdae received it respectfully, then, facing Chen Mobai, began to exit the great hall.


    ¡°I see your Cultivation Level is already at Qi Cultivation Perfection. In the great comparison of sects from the year before last, being one of the true inheritors, you also received a Foundation Building Pill, so why not attempt Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai called him back to ask, out of concern for his own disciple¡¯s cultivation level.


    ¡°Reporting to the ancestral master, I wish to achieve Rank-2 in refining the Void Law Body before attempting Foundation Establishment. This way, I will most likely succeed at Foundation Establishment on my first attempt, bringing no shame to Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Facing Chen Mobai, Song Huangdae shared his true thoughts.


    As a member of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, particularly after Han Zhiling succeeded at Foundation Establishment on her first attempt, it would be disgraceful if he failed to do so upon taking the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Is that so? Have you encountered any uncertainties in your cultivation or a lack of resources?¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was planning to send Song Huangdae on a task, and had the time today, he decided to give him some individual instruction.


    ¡°Many thanks to the Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Song Huangdae was deeply moved upon hearing this. Chen Mobai, recognized as the Great Sage and Good Teacher in the Eastern Wilderness, had disciples who usually achieved great success under his guidance.


    Without hesitation, he brought up all the issues he had encountered in the process of cultivating the Void Law Body.


    He had found some answers but wasn¡¯t sure if they were correct, so he took the opportunity to lay them all out.


    Although Chen Mobai had not personally cultivated the Void Law Body, his External Incarnation had refined countless Void Stones and opened the Golden Core Domain, giving him a far deeper understanding of the void than Song Huangdae, who was still in Qi Cultivation.


    By evening, Song Huangdae¡¯s accumulated questions had all been perfectly answered.


    ¡°Actually, your Void Law Body is ready for a breakthrough; the only issue is the insufficient Power of Void, which is why advancement hasn¡¯t been triggered. Later, take my token to the Reward Virtue Hall in Northern Abyss City and collect ten Void Stones. Let E Yun deduct the contribution from my account.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai said this, Song Huangdae began to politely refuse, insisting that he could not let the ancestral master incur expenses on his behalf.


    ¡°Consider it a reward for your work on the property inventory. Moreover, after you achieve Foundation Establishment, it will be easier to set up the All-Transforming Thunder Pond over at Wind Rain Hamlet.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved it off nonchalantly. His External Incarnation had already achieved the Heavenly Marrow Realm using Void Stones, and with Echoes in the Void, he could listen to the void itself, absorbing the omnipresent Power of Void for cultivation just as easily as nature¡¯s spiritual energy.

    There was no need to waste Void Stones any longer, considering they were a precious strategic resource for activating Teleportation Arrays.


    ¡°Ancestral master¡¯s grace and virtue, I will remember in my heart.¡±


    Song Huangdae immediately accepted the reward.


    Indeed, sufficient resources could prompt a qualitative change.


    After receiving the ten Void Stones, Song Huangdae secluded himself and broke through to Rank-2 of the Void Law Body the next day. He spent ten days solidifying his realm and then resolutely took the Foundation Building Pill.

 Chapter 1272 - Chapter 1272 Chapter 700 Recollections of the Netherworld

    Chapter 1272: Chapter 700: Recollections of the Netherworld Mansion_2 Chapter 1272: Chapter 700: Recollections of the Netherworld Mansion_2 With Chen Mobai¡¯s early guidance, Song Huangdae avoided various issues he might have encountered during Foundation Establishment, and due to his body¡¯s early transformation, he easily overcame the major bottlenecks of the realm.


    A month later, the successful Foundation Establishment practitioner, Song Huangdae, with many questions about the Manuscript of Ten Thousand Transformation Thunder Pool, visited Chen Mobai at the highest peak cave dwelling in Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Not bad, you have a good talent for formations, especially ground arrays, and in the future, you can focus on this area. I hope you can become the first Rank-4 Array Master in the sect!¡±


    After answering some of Song Huangdae¡¯s questions, Chen Mobai felt like he had discovered a treasure.


    The All-Transforming Thunder Pond was mainly a massive and complex heaven and earth array that combined the Heavenly Thunder Manifestation with the Mountain and River Spiritual Veins, evolving a vast formation that contained the profound mystery of creation.


    Song Huangdae originally had the foundation of an Earth Master. Suddenly studying about formations, although a bit uncomfortable, he quickly understood them, especially the ground arrays powered by the Mountain and River Spiritual Veins; he was particularly receptive.


    However, when it came to Sky Arrays and Human Arrays, Chen Mobai found that Song Huangdae did not have the same talent as he did for ground arrays.


    Even so, it made him very pleased.


    After all, in the entire Tianhe Realm and even in the Immortal Gate, ninety percent of the arrays were ground arrays.


    Human arrays were too profound and deep, Sky Arrays vast and obscure. Even Chen Mobai¡¯s good brother, Yunyang Bing, a formation genius, focused more on studying ground arrays in the later stages of the Daoist Academy, hoping to attain peak mastery in them before moving on to Sky Arrays and Human Arrays.


    ¡°Grandmaster, what are the Three Arrays of Heaven, Earth, and Human?¡±


    For today¡¯s meeting, Song Huangdae had also crammed knowledge on Array Masters but had not heard about this distinction in formations.


    Chen Mobai briefly explained, giving Song Huangdae a general idea.


    ¡°In the future, when you have time, you should consider transitioning towards the direction of an Array Master. As it happens, I need to return to Giant Tree Ridge. You¡¯ll come with me, and when the time comes, use my token to receive the formation inheritance from the Transmission of Power Division.¡±


    Song Huangdae listened and respectfully nodded.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s return to Giant Tree Ridge was because his Spiritual Root had undergone changes again, allowing him to acquire another Grand Spell from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Apart from that, there was another important reason.


    That was to personally hand over the medicinal ingredients for the Infant-Feeding Elixir to Yan Shaoyin and to take the five Golden Liquid Jade Pills from him.


    After this task, he also planned to take a trip to Fire Country, guarded by Sheng Zhaoxi.


    There was a Rank-3 Fire Yang Evil there.


    That could enhance Chen Mobai¡¯s own Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    At the border of Fire Country, he could also pass the jade pendant from Nu Jiang to his Formless Puppet.


    After arranging all these matters, Chen Mobai felt very busy.


    However, these were all very important, and he didn¡¯t feel at ease unless he handled them personally.


    When leaving Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai called over E Yun, gave a series of orders, and then entered the Teleportation Array with Song Huangdae.


    Along the way, Chen Mobai imparted to Song Huangdae everything he knew about the All-Transforming Thunder Pond.


    The All-Transforming Thunder Pond of Jumang Academy was originally established with the assistance of a Fifth Order Formation Master from Dance Tool Dao Academy, and it was precisely because of this that, when fully powered, it could condense Water of Ten Thousand Transformations of the fifth rank.


    Chen Mobai certainly had no such high expectations of Song Huangdae, who could now only comprehend one-thousandth of the complete manuscript of the All-Transforming Thunder Pond.


    He hoped that this disciple would start from the basics, first setting up Rank-1 and Rank-2 All-Transforming Thunder Pools in Wind Rain Hamlet.


    After accumulating rich experience and becoming proficient in actual array setup, ideally, he would be able to deploy a Rank-3 one.


    That way, Chen Mobai could attempt to condense Rank-3 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and then, he would essentially have an endless supply of Rank-3 Spiritual Rice Tea Leaves.


    As for Rank-4, it would require a Fourth Order Array Master.


    There was no such talent in Eastern Wilderness.


    There were three of them in East Barbarians. Chen Mobai had Chu Zuoshu send invitation cards, hoping to invite one to upgrade the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation in Northern Abyss City to the fourth rank.


    Unfortunately, none responded.


    After all, Eastern Wilderness was far away, and with an inevitable battle between Divine Wood Sect and Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, none of the three East Barbarians Array Masters wished to offend the Golden Wind Ancestor for a business deal.


    Even now, with Golden Wind Ancestor trapped by Ku Zhu on Bright Mirror Mountain and unable to come out, his reputation still stood firm.


    Even when the Starry Sky Commerce Guild stepped in, three Formation Masters from the East Barbarians did not respond.


    Chen Mobai had also thought about inviting a Rank-4 Formation Master from the Star Heaven Dao Sect, but unfortunately, Lou Xuelong said that their Sect Uncle Lin had gone to the East Land to study and would likely not have time to come to the Eastern Wilderness in the coming few years.


    The lack of deep heritage in the Eastern Wilderness was something Chen Mobai felt profoundly for the first time.


    However, Chen Mobai was also finding ways to make up for this as much as possible.


    Since Zhou Shengqing was a Legal Body Nascent Soul and could not increase his cultivation level, Chen Mobai suggested to him that aside from cultivating spells, he could devote some time to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    He was a Rank-4 Talisman Maker, and if he could become a Rank-4 Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, and Array Master in the future, then the dominant position of the Divine Wood Sect in the Eastern Wilderness would be truly solid.


    In addition, nurturing younger talents was also one of the methods.


    Thus, when Chen Mobai saw that Song Huang had a talent for formations, he also took great care in providing guidance.


    After arriving at Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai called over Yi Shaoqing, the head of the Formation Division, just as he had arranged for Han Zhiling to do, and had the latter start mentoring Song Huang.


    For these two third-generation disciples from Xiao Nanshan, he had basically made the best arrangements.


    However, training Song Huang this time, helping him understand the True Void Law Body and teaching him formations, reminded Chen Mobai of something he had long forgotten.


    That was the Underworld Array he had obtained at Lonely Spirit Ridge!


    This Large Formation required a powerful physical body from the cultivator, then Array Refining into Body, combined with an Array Plate, would allow teleportation within the boundaries of the Large Formation.


    This was essentially another form of Void Walking.


    Only before, Chen Mobai¡¯s physical training was not adequate, so he had placed the chipped Array Plate at the bottom of his Storage Bag and almost forgot about it.


    Now that his Longevity Dao Body had reached Rank-3 Perfection, Void Walking was definitely not an issue.


    The only problem was Array Refining into Body.


    After emerging from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai reread the booklet that contained the Underworld Array.


    He found that this formation method had a bit of the feel of Ghost Cultivators, but unfortunately, Elder Ming was opening up Dark Water with Luo Yixuan in Rainbow Country, so Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t ask her right away.


    He could only try to comprehend it on his own first, better if he could do it without the Enlightenment Tea.


    From the Divine Tree Secret Realm this time, he had obtained a Metal Attribute Grand Spell, which he didn¡¯t need, but was very suitable for Duan Shuyu on the battlefield.


    He was just about to go to Fire Country, and if he had time, he could have Jiang Zongheng bring this third-generation disciple over to meet.


    Thinking like this, Chen Mobai used the Heavenly Communication Device to summon Yue Zutao over.


    ¡°Sect Leader, these are the herbs collected by the sect.¡±


    Yue Zutao had prepared everything required for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, and after Chen Mobai checked, he was very satisfied.


    After he added the Tai Sui Flesh he had on hand into the collection, he greeted his neighbors Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing, then left Giant Tree Ridge.


    Within Back to Sky Valley, Chen Mobai received the grandest welcome from Yan Shaoyin.


    ¡°Master Yan, please check these.¡±


    After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Chen Mobai laid out a Storage Bag full of herbs on the table, and the significantly grayer Yan Shaoyin solemnly took out five sealed bottles.


    These were the agreed-upon five Golden Liquid Jade Pills.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Both parties inspected them.


    Chen Mobai felt that the amount of Dan Poison in these pills was less than what he experienced the last time he took them, as after all, Yan Shaoyin was an Alchemy Master whose skill improved the more he refined.


    After the exchange was complete, Yan Shaoyin invited Chen Mobai to stay a few more days to extend his hospitality, but Chen Mobai, who was very busy, graciously declined.


    ¡°Master Yan, I took the Nirvana Dan you refined a few days ago and it indeed raised my Longevity Dao Body to Rank-3 Perfection. But looking at you, it seems like you have yet to take it?¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai spoke meaningfully, and casually demonstrated his near-Core Formation Late Stage Spiritual Power Fluctuation, which caused the increasingly wrinkled Yan Shaoyin¡¯s expression to change subtly.

 Chapter 1273 - Chapter 1273 Chapter 701 Yiyuan Mijing Opens

    Chapter 1273: Chapter 701 Yiyuan Mijing Opens Chapter 1273: Chapter 701 Yiyuan Mijing Opens ¡°Sect Master Chen is indeed the greatest genius of the Eastern Wilderness in a thousand years, it seems he will soon break through to the late stage of Core Formation.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin managed a strained smile, bowing and offering his congratulations to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Far from it, the bottleneck is hard to break. It might trap me for a decade or even eight, unlike Master Yan, who¡¯s aged like fine wine, and seems to have reached Perfection in Core Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai modestly waved his hand. Since he and Yan Shaoyin were still partners, he refrained from using the Art of Spiritual Eyes to probe, but his probing words, along with the urgency for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, allowed him to guess this fact.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen overestimates me.¡±


    Yan Shaoyin, the old fox, was initially shocked by Chen Mobai¡¯s rapid advancement in cultivation, showing a hint of surprise, but he had since regained his composure, maintaining a normal expression.


    ¡°Master Yan, now in the lands of the Eastern Wasteland, my Five Elements Meridians have been restored as one. Only you and True Person Kong remain among the Core Formation Cultivators.¡± Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to offer Yan Shaoyin a chance to surrender, thus he made an invitation, ¡°Joining forces would be mutually beneficial. Since the Primordial Ancestral Master, the Eastern Wasteland has not had a Nascent Soul Great Cultivation presiding over, leading us to live long in the shadow of the Eastern Yi Clan and Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters. Master Yan, if you are willing to join us, integrating the resources of the whole Eastern Wasteland, refining Infant-Feeding Elixirs and the like wouldn¡¯t be as difficult as now. Would you be willing?¡±


    After Chen Mobai said this, Yan Shaoyin¡¯s expression slightly twitched as he asked a question, ¡°If I join you, may I view your sect¡¯s treasured Nascent Soul Formation experiences?¡±


    Yan Shaoyin had already obtained some experiences of Nascent Soul Formation from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild, but such things were always better in abundance.


    His plan was, if Chen Mobai would offer them, even if it meant taking a Dao Heart oat, once he succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul, he had various methods with which to annex the Five Veins under the banner of Back to Sky Valley.


    ¡°Of course, but that would only be possible after my Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, uttering words that caused Yan Shaoyin¡¯s face to stiffen.


    An unmistakable press of power.


    ¡°I am old and cannot wait that long.¡±


    This was when Yan Shaoyin no longer hid his desire to form a Nascent Soul, since he was preparing to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°Then I can only wish Master Yan an early success in your Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this with genuine regret.


    Then he directly mounted his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± and flew away from Back to Sky Valley.


    Watching Chen Mobai disappear into the horizon within the blink of an eye, Yan Shaoyin, originally planning to further stabilize his Perfect Core Formation, made up his mind and immediately consumed a Nirvana Dan, then went on to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    After the Dan was formed, he immediately fled to East Yu to form his Nascent Soul.


    He would not return unless he succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul!


    As long as the Star Heaven Dao Sect still needed Back to Sky Valley¡¯s help in guarding the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, their lineage would not be extinguished.


    If it failed¡­


    Chen Mobai did not know the intense emotional turmoil Yan Shaoyin went through after his departure.


    He had already arrived at a small mountain on the border of Fire Country, with three Golden Liquid Jade Pills in tow.


    Grand Tutor Jiang and a slightly aged general in armor were already waiting there.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Ancestor!¡±


    This general was naturally Duan Shuyu, although he had started his cultivation journey quite late. However, Chen Mobai could tell from his steadfast and profound features that he had been a handsome and vibrant youth.


    After years of settling, although he had grown broader and sturdier, his years on the battlefield made him stand on the mountaintop like a living tower, with an upright posture, deep gaze, and resolute brow.


    ¡°Rise.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, signaling the mentor and disciple to get up, then handed the Jade Pendant from Nu Jiang to Jiang Zongheng.


    ¡°What is Uncle Yu¡¯s cultivation level now?¡±


    Although Duan Shuyu was naturally an Innate Gold Spirit Body, starting his cultivation journey in his forties meant that according to the sixty-year theory of the Immortal Gate, his success rate in Foundation Establishment was naturally reduced by ten percent.


    Since they met today, Chen Mobai decided to give some guidance to his grand-disciple.


    ¡°Reporting to the Ancestor, I have just broken through to the third level of Qi Cultivation!¡±


    Duan Shuyu replied respectfully, performing a ceremonial bow to Chen Mobai, who had descended from the heavens.


    Having just been introduced to the Cultivation World, he didn¡¯t know much; however, all the Immortal Masters who came to serve under his Master, Grand Tutor Jiang, spoke of Sect Master Chen of the Shenmu Immortal Sect with unprecedented respect.


    Based on what Duan Shuyu knew, his great-grandmaster was indeed the highest, and indeed the pinnacle of existence within the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World.


    Previously at Rain Mist Pass, when Immortal Venerate Chen, along with the four True Persons, broke the Water and Fire Array, Duan Shuyu had also been at Jiang Zongheng¡¯s side and caught a fleeting glimpse.

    Sadly, after breaking the array, the great-grandmaster and the four True Persons left, and this was his first encounter with Chen Mobai.


    Just the thought that the clear and elegant youth before him was the supreme leader of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World filled him with awe.


    Yet Chen Mobai smiled and encouraged Duan Shuyu to raise any issues he encountered during his cultivation. With his current realm, guiding Qi Practitioners was naturally effortless.


    After the guidance, Duan Shuyu looked enlightened and could not help but sit straight on the mountaintop, clutching a Spirit Stone and closing his eyes.


    Three days later, he had broken the bottleneck that troubled him for months, reaching the fourth level of Qi Cultivation.

 Chapter 1274 - Chapter 1274 Chapter 701 Yiyuan Secret Realm Opens_2

    Chapter 1274: Chapter 701 Yiyuan Secret Realm Opens_2 Chapter 1274: Chapter 701 Yiyuan Secret Realm Opens_2 ¡°You¡¯ve stepped into cultivation just four years ago, and to have attained such achievements is already very commendable,¡± Chen Mobai internally lamented that such talent was discovered at such an old age, but his words were mostly encouraging. After all, with an innate golden spirit body, coupled with the support of Foundation Building Pills and the resources of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, Foundation Establishment was almost a sure thing.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Ancestor!¡± Duan Shuyu, feeling the stronger Emperor White Spirit Power after his breakthrough, couldn¡¯t help but show joy and gave Chen Mobai a grand salute.


    ¡°Continue to cultivate well. Once the mortal world is unified, your mission will be completed, and then you can come to Northern Abyss City with Zong Heng to formally enter our gates,¡± Chen Mobai said as he took out two jade slips he had prepared earlier, containing the Great Methods he obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and the previously acquired Gold Escape Technique.


    ¡°These two Great Methods are profound and complex, and normally Qi Practitioners wouldn¡¯t be able to master them. However, given your special physique, you might just succeed. Try to cultivate them when you have time.¡± After giving him the two Great Methods, Chen Mobai took out a Golden Halberd.


    It was not obtained from Xuan Shu¡¯s storage bag but from slaying Xuan Qiao. As the Golden Halberd obtained from Xuan Shu was too high-grade, Duan Shuyu, with his current Qi Cultivation fourth level realm, was simply unable to wield it.


    ¡°This item suits you. Take it and use it for now. Once you formally enter our gates, I¡¯ll prepare a better magic artifact for you.¡± Duan Shuyu¡¯s hands trembled as he took the Golden Halberd, feeling its strong aura and once again thanked Chen Mobai with a grand salute.


    ¡°The affairs of the mortal world are tough; I¡¯ll leave them to you and your disciple.¡± After giving the jade pendant to Duan Shuyu and meeting him, Chen Mobai directly rode the multicolored clouds and disappeared into the sky with these words.


    ¡°Master, only five nations remain. When shall we marshal our forces?¡± After Chen Mobai left, Duan Shuyu, who had risen to his feet, asked Jiang Zongheng.


    Ever since he learned that he could pursue immortal cultivation, he had been eager to truly leave the mundane world and enter the Spirit Mountains of the Immortal Family, cultivating the Great Methods and seeking immortality. The presence of Chen Immortal Venerate, the foremost person of the Eastern Wilderness, had fulfilled all the expectations he had of an immortal in his imagination.


    That¡¯s why he was so impatient to sweep through the Eastern Wilderness and complete his mission. ¡°Our next targets are Frost Country and Snow Country. After taking these two, the resistance from Wind Country won¡¯t be substantial. Then comes Summer Country, but we must leave Flower Country for last,¡± Jiang Zongheng outlined their strategic targets succinctly.


    After Zhou Ye surrendered, there were still some local forces resisting within Ming Nation¡¯s borders, which in these past days had also been subdued one by one by Duan Shuyu leading the troops. If they followed the established strategy, they would naturally march directly through the territory of the Fire Vein towards Back to Sky Valley, located within Flower Country and Summer Country.


    But having just made a deal with Yan Shaoyin, and fearing that pushing him too hard might lead to his breaking and giving up entirely, Chen Mobai was concerned. The influence of Star Heaven Dao Sect was also something that couldn¡¯t be ignored.


    Therefore, when Chen Mobai earlier gave Duan Shuyu pointers on cultivation, he also communicated with Jiang Zongheng using divine sense. They decided to first unify the mortal territories under the command of Snow-blowing Palace, and then lastly press against Summer Country and Flower Country.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Although Duan Shuyu didn¡¯t fully understand all the intricacies, as the general leading the troops, he only needed to know the target.


    After the master and disciple returned to Ming Nation, they immediately began to recall the troops to the court, rest and recuperate, aiming to set forth from Rock Country next spring and swiftly conquer the three nations of Frost, Snow, and Wind in one fell swoop.


    Hunyuan Immortal City. The puppet body of Chen Mobai, which had just received the Water Vein Jade Pendant from Jiang Zongheng, arrived at Zhou Ye¡¯s courtyard. This was the center of the entire Hunyuan Immortal City, where the spirit vein is most vibrant and also the entrance to the Yiyuan Mijing.


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s all here!¡± Seeing the water-blue jade pendant in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, Zhou Ye felt relieved.


    Five jade pendants were taken out and placed on the table! Then, Zhou Ye swept his hand over them, and a five-colored energy, shimmering with radiant light, appeared from his palm, covering all five jade pendants like ripples.


    ¡°Is this Primordial True Qi?¡± Chen Mobai curiously observed the five-color spiritual light in Zhou Ye¡¯s palm.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s just unfortunate that the lack of resources means I¡¯ve only just scratched the surface of its practice.¡±


    Zhou Ye spoke, and the five jade pendants covered in five-color spiritual light started to ascend with various colors of spiritual light, as if some hidden restriction had been triggered, beginning their assent.


    As the spiritual light of these jade pendants combined with the Primordial True Qi, it seemed as if some verification had passed, and they suddenly flew up from the table, automatically arranging themselves in a pentagon formation in midair and then began to rotate.


    Gradually, in the center, the Primordial True Qi and the spiritual light of the jade pendants fused into a single point.


    After that, Chen Mobai saw that the void began to melt away from this point!


    The point slowly expanded and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a portal large enough for a person.


    By this time, Zhou Ye¡¯s face had already turned somewhat pale, but he still clenched his teeth and urged the Primordial True Qi.


    After three more breaths, the void had melted open, forming a rectangular gateway large enough for people to pass through.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I can¡¯t hold on much longer. Should I enter first, or will you?¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Ye¡¯s forehead was already covered in sweat, showing that opening the Yiyuan Secret Realm was extremely difficult for him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any time then, I¡¯ll go in first and wait for Brother Zhou.¡±


    Chen Mobai here was merely a Formless Puppet, fearless of any dangers, and seeing Zhou Ye struggling so hard, he left these words behind and immediately stepped into the Void Gate.


    With one step crossed, the heavens and the earth underwent a transformation!


    Upon opening his eyes, they found themselves floating in midair.


    Above them, clouds of five colors floated in the sky, a congregation of the purest Five Element Spiritual Energy.


    By that time, Zhou Ye had also entered through the Void Gate.


    Feeling the extremely rich, nearly Rank-5 spiritual energy all around him, he couldn¡¯t help but get excited.


    ¡°The Five Element Spiritual Energy here has reached a perfect balance. If I can cultivate here for a long time, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I can refine the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai¡¯s expression subtly shift.


    He had already absorbed some of the spiritual energy here with his puppet and done a simple analysis.


    In other spirit veins, the Five Element Spiritual Energy is mixed, with more of some elements and less of others, but in this Secret Realm, the Five Element Spiritual Energy was evenly distributed.


    He performed the Ignition Technique, consuming the fire spiritual energy within the Secret Realm, and produced a purple flame.


    But the fire spiritual power consumption was quickly replenished, as if there was a rule in operation, maintaining a balance of the Five Element Spiritual Energy here.


    Chen Mobai wanted to experiment more and probe the rules of this Secret Realm, but was soon pulled by Zhou Ye towards the center of the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s first take a look at that Five Elements Spirit Tree!¡±


    Looking down from midair, the Yiyuan Secret Realm seemed patched together by triangles of five different colors into a massive circle.


    The golden parts were mines, the green were forests, the blue were oceans, the red were erupting volcanoes, and the yellow were endless fields.


    And converging at the triangles made from these five colors was a twenty- to thirty-meter-high tree with five-color foliage.


    There was the center of the circle, the convergence of all corners!


    Chen Mobai followed Zhou Ye, arriving directly at this spot.


    ¡°This must be the Five Elements Spirit Tree!¡±


    The trunk of the spirit tree wasn¡¯t particularly thick, but it shone like jade, reflecting a crystalline luster under the five-colored light. Its leaves were silver hook-like, draping around the trunk, lush and dripping with greenery.


    Yet what attracted both of their gazes the most were the colorful array of flowers.


    And among the flowers, five fist-sized colorful fruits.


    ¡°Indeed, a cycle has matured.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhou Ye looked at the five colored fruits, his face revealing a rare fervor.


    If he could consume and refine all five of these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, his Primordial True Qi could be brought to fruition.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, will all these flowers eventually turn into Five Elements Spiritual Fruits?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s attention was focused on the blossoms on the branches, vibrant and tender, exquisite flowers.


    A gentle breeze blew, the leaves rustled, causing the flowers to sway, as if a sea of five-colored blossoms were swaying dreamily, in an otherworldly beauty.

 Chapter 1275 - Chapter 1275 Chapter 702 The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit

    Chapter 1275: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan Chapter 1275: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan ¡°These Five Elements Spirit Flowers will fuse with each other when they mature, and eventually form five Spirit Fruits. So, Junior Brother Chen, even though you see the whole tree covered in Spirit Flowers, in reality, only five flowers will bear fruit.¡±


    After hearing Zhou Ye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed a look of regret.


    However, in his heart, he wondered if using the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations could accelerate the production of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits from these Spirit Flowers.


    He made a mental note of this, thinking that if he obtained the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations in the future, he would prioritize these Spirit Flowers.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, what grade is this Five Elements Spirit Tree?¡±


    Chen Mobai also thought about how he was only eligible to obtain Rank-4 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and if this Spirit Tree was Rank-5, he would have no means to deal with it.


    ¡°It¡¯s currently Rank-4, but according to Master, it was Rank-5 a long time ago. However, it was used by True Lord Yuan to cultivate Primordial Dao Fruits and drew too much of the quintessence of the Five Elements, leading to a decline.¡±


    Zhou Ye shared this very secretive fact with Chen Mobai.


    Ancestor Hun Yuan had complained about this when teaching Zhou Ye.


    Had the Five Elements Spirit Tree still been Rank-5, Ancestor Hun Yuan could have used the Rank-5 Five Elements Spiritual Fruits or the Rank-5 Spirit Vein within this secret realm to enhance his cultivation level.


    Perhaps, he might have even attempted to contemplate the profound mysteries of the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    ¡°That¡¯s really a pity.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt an conflicted mix of joy and sorrow.


    According to Zhou Ye¡¯s statement, if the Spirit Tree had remained Rank-5, it would have been extremely helpful for cultivating Primordial Dao Fruits after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.


    However, being Rank-4 now is just right for starting the cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruits.


    But then again, Chen Mobai reconsidered, thinking that if he really achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he could also use the Technique of Forced Growth to revert this Five Elements Spirit Tree back to Rank-5.


    In that case, no matter what, it would be beneficial to him.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai no longer felt upset; a smile appeared on his lips.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, there are five Five Elements Spiritual Fruits here. Due to the contract, splitting them equally doesn¡¯t seem appropriate. How about I compensate you with some Spirit Stones, taking three fruits and you take two?¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Ye had finished examining the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits on the tree and shared his thoughts with Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai obviously disagreed, as among the Five Elements Meridians, he must be the first to achieve Core Formation.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, not to hide this from you, but our Wood Vein already has five Foundation Establishment Completion candidates for Core Formation, three of whom are aging and nearly past their physical peak. So, I was thinking of compensating with some Spirit Stones and taking three fruits to use for their Core Formation.¡±


    However, as they were still in their ¡°honeymoon phase,¡± Chen Mobai didn¡¯t directly say he wanted to suppress Zhou Ye but rather used a tactful excuse.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you are being foolish, as many Core Formations added together aren¡¯t as important as one Nascent Soul. If I reach Nascent Soul and join hands with Second Brother of the Earth, even if the Poisonous Dragon emerges, we can take action to suppress it and firmly secure the dominant position in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    I just don¡¯t want you to reach Nascent Soul!


    Chen Mobai thought this way, but Zhou Ye was not Yan Shaoyin, so these words definitely could not be spoken in front of him.


    ¡°Brother Zhou makes a logical point. Coincidentally, I¡¯m collaborating with Yan Shaoyin of Back to Sky Valley to refine a batch of Infant-Feeding Elixir. Should there be extra, I will surely keep one for you. Let¡¯s divide these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits first. For the extra fruit, I also know a method that can split the essence of the Five Elements inside it into two halves for each of us to keep.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered some polite words, knowing that if there was indeed extra Infant-Feeding Elixir after refining, Mo Douguang would be considered before others.


    In the Immortal Gate, due to the scarcity of high-quality Spiritual Fruits, sometimes only a part of them is used to refine elixirs, hence developing various techniques to preserve the efficacy of the cut pieces without losing power.


    While Chen Mobai had not yet mastered this, as long as he was willing to use Enlightenment Tea Leaves, it would only take minutes.


    ¡°Is that Infant-Feeding Elixir recipe obtained from the Longevity Sect? How does its effectiveness compare to the Coagulation Infant Pill left by Master?¡±


    However, Zhou Ye focused on the first half of the sentence, visibly curious.


    ¡°Oh, Brother Zhou, you also have a Coagulation Infant Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised upon hearing this.


    ¡°Our Master, when he was forming his Nascent Soul, gathered a batch of materials for Coagulation Infant Pills and entrusted the Dao Morale Sect to refine it, yielding nine pills. The Dao Morale Sect took four, he used three for his own Nascent Soul formation, and left two pills, one for me and one for Second Brother.¡±


    Zhou Ye shared another secretive fact, and Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s extravagance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Tianhe Realm, the Coagulation Infant Pill is one of the rare Spiritual Medicines that can aid in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± helping to condense the Nascent Soul, its effects similar to the Nurturing Infant Elixir from the Immortal Gates.


    Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators, getting even one pill, would be extremely grateful; it was unexpected that Ancestor Hun Yuan could gather a whole batch of materials.


    But thinking that Ancestor Hun Yuan had received the heritage of True Lord Yuan, possibly having First Origin Dao Palace to assist in gathering and commissioning the Dao Morale Sect when refining the Coagulation Infant Pills, an ordinary person could not summon cultivators from Dao Morale Sect to refine elixirs.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, with a Coagulation Infant Pill in hand and having cultivated Primordial True Qi, reaching Nascent Soul seems almost certain.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke courteously, feeling even more wary inside, thinking he must not allow Zhou Ye to successfully cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruits so quickly.

 Chapter 1276 - Chapter 1276 Chapter 702 The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit

    Chapter 1276: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan_2 Chapter 1276: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan_2 ¡°Not so easy,¡± Zhou Ye said, his eyes blazing as he looked at Chen Mobai. The underlying meaning was clear beyond words.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, your cultivation level has yet to reach Perfect Core Formation, and it¡¯s not yet time for Nascent Soul Formation. To prevent your cultivation from being distracted, I will keep half of these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits for you.¡±


    Under these circumstances, Chen Mobai also bluntly refused. There was no way he would let Zhou Ye take the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits and let his Primordial True Qi advance significantly.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I want to take Wood Fire, and the other half can be the Water Spirit Fruit.¡±


    Zhou Ye tested, and upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s resolute face showing disappointment, he pointed at the three colorful fruits on the tree.


    He possessed the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, the most crucial central earth attribute spiritual power. After a hundred years of his own effort, his Gold Element spiritual power had significantly developed, and he had cultivated half of his Water Attribute power. Only Wood and Fire were far behind, dragging down his Primordial True Qi.


    What he actually needed were these two and a half fruits.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, among the five disciples at Foundation Establishment Completion in my Wood Vein, Xie Yuntian cultivates the Red Flame Sword Jue and Yin Qingmei cultivates the Longevity Scripture. These two spiritual fruits are perfectly suited for their Core Formation,¡± Chen Mobai suggested.


    Although Chen Mobai had not developed his Primordial True Qi, he had fully grasped the Primordial Dao Fruit through Enlightenment Tea and had a thorough understanding of cultivation methods.


    There were two orthodox methods for cultivating Primordial True Qi: one was cultivating all Five Elements simultaneously, using Earth as the core to synchronously enhance the other four elements gradually.


    The other method was to cultivate one element to completion first and then follow the sequence of generation among the Five Elements to transform and eventually merge all Five Elements in one go, skyrocketing in cultivation.


    Both methods had their strengths and weaknesses.


    Although unsure which method Zhou Ye followed, Chen Mobai, by stopping the final derivation of Wood and Fire from Earth, could definitely hold back Zhou Ye¡¯s speed of Primordial True Qi cultivation.


    ¡°Yin Qingmei is a Heavenly Spiritual Root, right? She can form a core even without these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.¡±


    Zhou Ye frowned, his eyes showing some displeasure towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, did you forget we belong to the Wood Vein? Apart from Qingmei, Quan Shanlin and Yue Zutao also completed Foundation Establishment with the Longevity Scripture. This Wood Spirit Fruit must belong to our Wood Vein.¡±


    Chen Mobai, merely a Formless Puppet here, wasn¡¯t afraid of Zhou Ye¡¯s retaliation. Furthermore, both had sworn Dao Heart oaths to share the Yiyuan Mijing¡¯s harvest equally, as long as he disagreed, Zhou Ye dared not forcefully take all the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen truly has grasped the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s stance, Zhou Ye sighed, understanding that he couldn¡¯t deceive this exceptional junior brother.


    However, he had also considered this, and settling for the next best thing was part of his plan as well.


    ¡°Then I will choose the Earth and Water spiritual fruits, and please give me half of the Gold Element.¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai frown slightly.


    How could he agree so easily?


    But soon, he understood.


    Zhou Ye, having the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, could likely reach Perfect Core Formation directly if he obtained the Earth Spirit Fruit.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, how about you take the Gold and Water spiritual fruits and leave the Earth, Wood, and Fire for me? If, in the future, extra Infant-Feeding Elixirs are made from my cultivation, I could give you one as compensation.¡±


    Chen Mobai at this point dropped all pretense, hoping both to delay Zhou Ye¡¯s Perfect Core Formation and his Great Achievement in Primordial True Qi.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I am discussing this amicably with you, and sometimes we need to compromise a bit.¡±


    Zhou Ye smiled before offering two options for Chen Mobai to choose from.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this, Junior Brother Chen. We¡¯ll split these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits equally: Earth, Gold, Water, and Wood, Fire. If you give me Wood and Fire, I won¡¯t insist on splitting equally anymore, and I¡¯ll give all of Earth, Gold, and Water to you; if you prefer Wood and Fire, then I¡¯ll take the other three. Make a choice.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai carefully observed the young man in front of him, who appeared cultivated and gentle.


    To be chosen by Ancestor Hunyuan for the transfer of his teachings, he indeed was not simple.


    If Zhou Shengqing had not reached Nascent Soul whether moving forward and Divine Wood Sect under his leadership had not experienced an explosive increase in Core Formation combat power, forming an unstoppable grand momentum, it probably wouldn¡¯t have been so easy to get Zhou Ye to compromise.


    Now Zhou Ye was giving Chen Mobai the choice, to suppress his cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit, or to reach Perfect Core Formation, but he could only choose one.

    Bound by the Dao Heart oath, even if relations turned sour, Chen Mobai had to give Zhou Ye half of the fruits, making it impossible to completely suppress him.


    Even if only half an Earth Spirit Fruit was given, Chen Mobai estimated Zhou Ye might reach Golden Core Perfection.


    Since it was impossible to completely suppress him, they should both save face.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai needed to ask him for a favor.


    ¡°Seniors first, then let Brother Zhou choose. But I hope, brother, you can help clear up some of my confusion about cultivating the Primordial True Qi.¡±

 Chapter 1277 - Chapter 1277 Chapter 702 The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit

    Chapter 1277: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan_3 Chapter 1277: Chapter 702: The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, The Method of Hun Yuan_3 After Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet body received the Jade Pendant from Nu Jiang, it was also informed of his True Body¡¯s failure to cultivate the Primordial True Qi while attempting the Co-cultivation Method of the Five Elements.


    However, when he consulted Zhou Ye about this matter, the latter indicated that these were valuable experiences in personal cultivation and, given that his cultivation centered around the fire element, which was different from that of Chen Mobai, he truly was powerless to help.


    But Chen Mobai always felt that Zhou Ye was unwilling to share and was holding back, taking this opportunity to perhaps cause some more explosions.


    ¡°The question you asked a few days ago, Brother, I have also thought about it for a long time. I remembered the way Master taught me to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit and thought it should be of some reference for you, Disciple.¡±


    When Zhou Ye heard that Chen Mobai had loosened up on the distribution of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, his attitude indeed changed.


    ¡°I ask for Brother¡¯s guidance.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately inquired further, yet in his heart, he once again condemned the closed nature of knowledge inheritance in the Tianhe Realm. With no other options at hand, he could only turn to Zhou Ye, the only one in the Eastern Wilderness who cultivated the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    ¡°For a cultivator to condense the first strand of Primordial True Qi through sheer hard work, even those with exceptional talent would need decades, and that¡¯s with employing the Co-cultivation Method of the Five Elements. As for someone like me who prepared for the mutual generation of the Five Elements and achieved perfection in each before combining them into Primordial True Qi, it requires a hundred or even several hundred years of effort.¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s words enlightened Chen Mobai, who was astounded at the difficulty of the Primordial Dao Fruit, recognizing it as truly deserving of its reputation as the premier Divine Skill in the Eastern Wilderness, challenging to master even in the resource-rich Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°But I see that Brother Zhou has already cultivated the Primordial True Qi, how did you accomplish this?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry left Zhou Ye nodding regretfully as he revealed another secret.


    ¡°There¡¯s also a quicker introductory method to the Primordial Dao Fruit, which is for another cultivator who has already achieved Primordial True Qi to expend some of their core spiritual power and infuse its essence into their disciple¡¯s body.¡±


    ¡°For example, my cultivation progress was such. During that period, Master imparted a strand of Primordial True Qi to me, allowing me to use it as a basis for further cultivation and enlightenment, thereby saving me decades of foundational effort.¡±


    ¡°If the Disciple is willing to give all the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits to me, once I cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, I will immediately transfer a strand of Primordial True Qi to you, to aid your initiation.¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s offer greatly tempted Chen Mobai, but he firmly refused out loud.


    ¡°I appreciate the kind offer Brother Zhou, but let¡¯s divide the fruits first.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, Zhou Ye said nothing more, for his offer was only a casual one anyway.


    Just as Chen Mobai wanted to suppress him, Zhou Ye also did not wish for him to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    For he did not want Chen Mobai to succeed in ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±!


    Without the Primordial Dao Fruit, the emergence of the Nascent Soul would be extremely perilous; Zhou Ye hoped that Chen Mobai would perish during this juncture, then he could leverage this Divine Skill to ensure his own successful ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    In this way, the vast Five Elements Meridians would still belong to him.

    Once he formed his Nascent Soul, seeking revenge against the Sun family with his profound strength would be an easy feat.


    Zhou Ye envisioned a perfect future, so without hesitation, he directly chose the Wood Fire fruits.


    After all, compared to Perfect Core Formation, the Primordial Dao Fruit posed a greater challenge.


    As Chen Mobai plucked three fruits, he took a good look at the last Golden Spiritual Fruit.


    [If Brother Mo Douguang takes this one, he should be able to achieve Perfect Core Formation, and if I trade this for his Primordial Stone, would he agree?]

 Chapter 1278 - Chapter 1278 703

    Chapter 1278: 703 Chapter 1278: 703 Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t forgotten the incident at Golden Cliff, where he contemplated the Primordial Stone.


    Mo Douguang once said that Ancestor Hun Yuan had left three streams of Primordial True Qi for him, two of which had already merged into his flesh and life-bound sword artifact, and the one in the Primordial Stone was preserved for the purpose of inheritance.


    Thinking back, Mo Douguang had already informed Chen Mobai of the tricks of cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit at that time, but could not make it clear due to the constraints of a vow within his Dao heart, so only now had Chen Mobai fully understood.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard Master mention that, apart from the Five Elements Spirit Tree, Yi Yuan Secret Realm also has the Altar of State left by True Lord Yuan, which can be used to seek guidance from Ascension Superpowers. Let¡¯s look around, we might find other secret treasures.¡±


    After picking the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, Zhou Ye pointed to the world of five colors beyond the Spirit Tree and shared with Chen Mobai things he didn¡¯t know.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, could I take a branch from the Spirit Tree and five Spirit Flowers?¡±


    After securing his three fruits, Chen Mobai regretted not giving the Turtle Treasure to his Puppet Body along with the Raging River Jade Pendant. He didn¡¯t know when he would come in next time, so he pointed directly at the Five Elements Spirit Tree and asked.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen must want to cultivate a new Five Elements Spirit Tree. However, I would advise against wasting your efforts. The Spirit Tree can only survive and grow within a Spiritual Vein where the Five Element Spiritual Energy is balanced. Master had attempted it before but failed,¡±


    Zhou Ye shook his head, pointing to the ground beneath their feet.


    Even within this Secret Realm, only the central point where they stood could sustain the Spirit Tree to blossom and bear fruit.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be reconciled without giving it a try.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his beloved disciple¡¯s expertise in Spirit Plant cultivation, and the peak mastery of the Spirit Qi Control Method from the Immortal Gate, and felt that combining the two might create a Spiritual Land suitable for the Five Elements Spirit Tree to grow.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, these Spirit Flowers bloomed by absorbing the Five Element Spiritual Energy within this Secret Realm; they are the essence of the Five Elements. If you want to pick five, the maturation of the next round of Five Elements Spiritual Fruits will be delayed by five years.¡±


    Zhou Ye advised him again.


    Nonetheless, Zhou Ye relented under the persistence of Chen Mobai. After all, having obtained two fruits corresponding to Wood and Fire, Zhou Ye no longer felt an urgent need for the fruits of the next cycle.


    Chen Mobai took a Jade Branch that had bloomed five Spirit Flowers, carefully sealing it with a Secret Technique to ensure its vitality remained intact.


    Then he left with Zhou Ye.


    Chen Mobai actually wanted to explore this Secret Realm alone. After all, it was left by an Ascended Monk, True Lord Yuan, so it should not be inferior to the Divine Tree Secret Realm of the Longevity Sect, should it?


    Unfortunately, he knew nothing about this Secret Realm, while Zhou Ye had heard quite a few secrets from Ancestor Hun Yuan.


    So, after thinking it over, it seemed better to stay together with Zhou Ye.


    Both headed first to the vast fields that represented the Earth Element. It was unexpectedly a Rank-4 Spirit Field; sadly, there was no Spirit Rice planted, and it stretched out empty and boundless.


    ¡°These are Rank-4 Earth Day soil; after many years without planting, the soil fertility has overflowed, likely yielding a considerable amount of Earth Day Essence.¡±


    Zhou Ye landed on the field, scooped up a handful of dark yellow soil, feeling the pure earth energy within, and infused his cultivation of Earth Daypower into the land.


    Then Chen Mobai saw the field crack open, with chunks of dark yellow, irregular earth blocks emerging from the ground. These were Earth Day Essence, akin to mutated Spirit Stones of the Earth Element.


    ¡°With these, my Earth Daypower can be enhanced further, and I can start attempting to condense True Earth Day Qi.¡±


    Listening to Zhou Ye, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he reached out his hand.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, the gains of this Secret Realm need to be divided equally; shouldn¡¯t I also take half of this Earth Day Essence?¡±


    ¡°You truly won¡¯t let any disadvantage slip by, here you go.¡±


    Zhou Ye said with a wry smile, halving the earth blocks he had drawn with his Divine Sense and flinging half towards Chen Mobai, who opened a Storage Bag and gathered them all.


    After collecting the Earth Day Essence, they moved to the center of the field, where an Altar of State built with five-color soil stood.


    In a world where the air was filled with earth-yellow dust, this colorful altar was a singular beam of life and hope in the desolation, towering tall and majestic.


    ¡°This five-color Altar of State contains the inheritance of the Five Elements Dao left by True Lord Yuan, placing my Jade Pendant on it and activating it with Spiritual Power, and contemplating the problems encountered during cultivation in your mind. As long as it¡¯s related to the Earth Element, you can basically get an answer.¡±


    Zhou Ye said, pointing to the Altar of State. Besides this, there should be four more, perfectly forming the Five Elements inheritance, just as Ancestor Hun Yuan had described.


    ¡°What about the inheritance of the Primordial Dao Fruits?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai asked his most concerning question, to which Zhou Ye shook his head.


    ¡°Master didn¡¯t inform me about this.¡±


    After speaking, Zhou Ye grinned and stepped onto the five-color Altar of State.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I need to contemplate here to see if there are any flaws in my practice of the Earth Wuxu True Method. If you want to wait for me, you can come up as well, or if you don¡¯t want to, you can check the Altars of State of the other Four Elements.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt as if his decision to open the Yiyuan Mijing might have been a bit hasty.

 Chapter 1279 - Chapter 1279 703

    Chapter 1279: 703 Chapter 1279: 703 Zhou Ye entered this secret realm and acquired the benefits that he most needed.


    However, at this point, Chen Mobai could not stop him, but could only share in the experience.


    On the Earth Alliance Altar, both sat in separate corners, with Zhou Ye placing his yellow jade pendant at the center of the altar, and then activating it with Earth Daypower.


    Soon, Chen Mobai saw dazzling five-colored light shine upon the altar, with massive energy bursting forth from beneath the platform, soaring into the sky like a multicolored divine dragon, connecting heaven and earth.


    Zhou Ye quickly closed his eyes, seemingly entering an enlightenment state. The earthy yellow spiritual light on his body began to flicker, mingling with the surrounding five-colored spiritual light and gradually merging into one. His whole being¡¯s aura began to wane, becoming ethereal and elusive.


    Seeing him enter the state, Chen Mobai wasted no time and turned his attention to the jade pendant.


    Was this the need to infuse one¡¯s own Earth Element spiritual power to receive the answers?


    Chen Mobai recalled what Zhou Ye had mentioned: had he come here in his true body, he would only be able to stare blankly; however, this puppet body faced no limitations of the Five Elements properties.


    First, he cultivated the Mother Earth Cultivation, induced the Mother Qi of All Things, and infused it into the jade pendant.


    Following this, various profound mysteries of spirit soil began to flow into the Heavenly Calculation Bead at the core of his puppet body.


    Like the inheritance from the Great Dao Tree, he began to fall into sudden enlightenment.


    This Earth Alliance Altar left by True Lord Yuan represented this ascended cultivator¡¯s understanding of the Five Elements Dao; through the Mother Earth Cultivation, Chen Mobai was able to receive understanding concerning various types of spirit soil.


    Much like a search engine on the side of the Immortal Gate, upon inputting keywords, related content that was needed would appear.


    However, these contents and inheritances all required one¡¯s own organization, understanding, and memorization.


    For a cultivator, naturally, one could only remember the key contents needed from True Lord Yuan¡¯s massive heritage, akin to a sea of smoke, and grasp them.


    But the Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead equipped in this puppet body already served as a large, empty knowledge base.


    He copied all aspects of the Earth Element Dao related to the Mother Earth Cultivation into it, and then began to recall various Earth Element spiritual power cultivation techniques he had encountered.


    The highest grade among them was obviously Longevity Sect¡¯s Earth Immortality Scripture.


    Regrettably, the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture required Innate Earth Essence Qi for cultivating spiritual power, which his Formless Puppet could manifest all things postnatal but was utterly helpless with this.


    While Chen Mobai sighed, Zhou Ye across from him had already opened his eyes.


    His eyes were bright, but his entire being seemed to have shed all aura, appearing like a most ordinary mortal, sitting solemnly on the altar, utterly commonplace.


    Such a return to simplicity and truth clearly brought many benefits from within the Earth Alliance Altar.


    Even Zhou Ye himself couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s proceed to the next Altar. I recall that you cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue, so why don¡¯t we go to the Fire Alliance Altar?¡±


    Zhou Ye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel grateful.


    The two quickly arrived at the Fire Alliance Altar, but this time it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to activate the jade pendant. He simulated Red Flame spiritual power with his Formless Puppet and infused it into the pendant.


    Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, aiming to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, had long selected his Five Elements Cultivation Method, the same as Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s Great Sun¡¯s True Fire Art. Though still not fully mastered, triggering a bit of Fire Element Spiritual Light was not a problem.


    Both occupied a corner of the Earth Alliance Altar, beginning to close their eyes and comprehend the Fire Dao Path they needed.


    Chen Mobai had already perfected the Red Flame Sword Jue to the Perfect Realm, but when compared with the inheritance of True Lord Yuan, he still noticed many imperfections.


    He decided to make direct copies, planning to refine them later when time allowed.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai, feeling somewhat anxious, used the Formless Puppet to evolve Pure Yang Spiritual Power and cautiously infused it into the Fire Attribute Jade Pendant.


    He was unsure if this Immortal Gate¡¯s Divine Transformation Technique could achieve further gains within True Lord Yuan¡¯s Fire Dao Path.


    Obviously, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, never seen in the Tianhe Realm, caused a brief pause in True Lord Yuan¡¯s heritage repository.


    However, some content was still retrieved thereafter.


    Chen Mobai briefly compared it with his usual cultivation and realized that on the topic of the Divine Transformation Technique, if interpreted from the perspective of the Tianhe Realm, it differed completely from the direction taken by the Immortal Gate.


    Within a short period of time, Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll reached new heights. The contents of the Golden Core Seventh Layer, Eighth Layer, and Ninth Layer had been comprehended more profoundly and thoroughly than before; he even grasped a considerable amount of content related to ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    However, his Cultivation Level was not very high after all; he could only perceive the surface of the content regarding the Nascent Soul, and he couldn¡¯t fully grasp it.


    He copied all the content that surfaced in his mind into the Heavenly Calculation Bead, planning to slowly compare and learn from it once he reached that level of cultivation.


    After completing these steps, Chen Mobai silently recalled the content related to Pure Yang Daoist Body, wanting to know if, with the knowledge of True Lord Yuan, there was a way to improve quickly.


    Soon, guesses and answers that were up to Tianhe Realm¡¯s standard appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Taking elixirs similar to the Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Pill, stacking multiple elixirs to speed up the cultivation process.


    Or increasing the grade of Spirit Stones, replacing Superior Quality Spirit Stones with Supreme Grade ones to see the effects.


    Another way was to find a vein of Innate Pure Yang Qi, refine it into one¡¯s own body, and fundamentally solve the issue with the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    These three answers made Chen Mobai marvel.


    It was no wonder he was an Ascension Superpower; facing the Pure Yang Daoist Body, a Cultivation Technique he had never encountered, he was able to provide three solutions so quickly based on Chen Mobai¡¯s description.


    Among these, the last option was dismissed.


    The second one was readily acceptable.


    Chen Mobai indeed had Supreme-grade Spirit Stones, although they were for recharging.


    As for the first option, with an elixir similar to the Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Pill, Chen Mobai was unaware of a second kind and could only keep it in mind, hoping to come across it in the future.


    This opening of Yiyuan Mijing on its own was a tremendous gain.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai¡¯s mood, which had been somewhat depressed, improved a lot.


    At this moment, Zhou Ye also opened his eyes, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, indicating that he had not found a satisfactory answer on the Altar of State.


    His Great Sun¡¯s True Fire Art was just at the entry-level.


    In this Yiyuan Mijing, the higher a cultivator¡¯s Cultivation Realm, the greater the benefits received from the Altar of State.


    If a God-Transcending cultivator visited, it was estimated that all the Five Elements Dao left by True Lord Yuan could have been completely absorbed.


    Whereas Zhou Ye was only at the level of Foundation Establishment Completion in terms of Fire Element Technique, the benefits he gained were almost negligible compared to those from his Earth Wuxu True Method.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, let¡¯s move on to the next Altar of State.¡±


    After dividing the Fire Attribute Fire Elements equally with Zhou Ye, Chen Mobai proceeded to the next domains of the Wood, Gold, and Water elements.


    In the Wood Element domain, there was a forest resembling the Divine Tree Secret Realm, with a Rank-4 Everlife Wood at the very center.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai tested the tree, and it did not carry the heritage of the Longevity Sect.


    In the Gold Element domain, they found many Rank-4 Geng Metals, excellent materials for refining Flying Swords.


    And in the Water Element domain, in the midst of a vast expanse of water, they sensed the presence of Ren Water essence. Regrettably, neither of them had cultivated the Water Element Technique and were unable to extract it.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I¡¯ll go ahead and open the gateway to the Secret Realm and get ready to leave.¡±


    On the Water Element Altar, Zhou Ye, having completed his meditation, opened his eyes and held the five Jade Pendants in his palm, ready to release the Primordial True Qi stored within.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Please, Brother Zhou, wait for me a moment.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked around the boundless expanse of water, took out a Storage Bag, emptied its contents, and threw it into the water.


    Shortly after, the Storage Bag was filled with waters from the expanse.


    Seeing this, Zhou Ye was inspired and did the same with one of his Storage Bags.


    After completing this task, the two, with their gains, passed through the Void Gate and left the Yiyuan Mijing.

 Chapter 1280 - Chapter 1280 Chapter 704 The Secret of the Family Division

    Chapter 1280: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division Chapter 1280: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division ¡°Junior Brother Chen, who do you plan to let use the three Five Elements Spiritual Fruits for Core Formation?¡±


    Within the Hunyuan Immortal City, Zhou Ye, who had just emerged from the secret realm in good spirits, asked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet, I¡¯ll see which of the junior disciples are suitable when the time comes.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, did not directly answer the question.


    ¡°Junior brother, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve been suppressing in my heart for a long time. I didn¡¯t want to mention it, but after spending time with you these past days, I¡¯ve come to realize that you are a responsible person with a sense of duty. Now that the Five Elements Meridians are in your hands, I should let you know about it.¡±


    Zhou Ye suddenly spoke with a heavy tone, causing Chen Mobai to be slightly surprised and his expression to become serious.


    ¡°Is it about the First Origin Dao Palace?¡±


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding, Zhou Ye had received Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s heritage, so he must know a bit about the matters regarding this Eastern Earth Holy Land, and what he was about to discuss might be related to it.


    ¡°What does Junior Brother Chen think about Chun Yusu, the Sect Leader of the Earth Vein?¡±


    But Zhou Ye shook his head, then asked a question that seemed baffling to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t had much contact with him, but I¡¯ve heard that Chun Yusu is a very capable person.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke honestly; before him, Chun Yusu was acclaimed as the number one Sect Leader in the Eastern Wilderness, having achieved Foundation Establishment Completion quite early, making the likes of Meng Hong from the Divine Wood Sect very wary of him.


    Now that the Five Elements Meridians were unified once again, Chun Yusu was one of his people. Chen Mobai had considered, after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± to open up the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to the other four veins, and this person would likely be the most probable Core Formation candidate.


    ¡°He came from the Day Bathing Sea Sect, becoming my disciple in order to have me transmit the Primordial Dao Fruit to him, which he intended to take back to Baiwu Ancestor.¡±


    Zhou Ye said calmly, revealing a piece of information that left Chen Mobai¡¯s face in shock.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Baiwu Ancestor a good friend of the Primordial Ancestral Master?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s remark made Zhou Ye coldly laugh out loud, rising to his feet and looking in the direction of the East Barbarians with fists clenched tight.


    ¡°Within the Tianhe Realm, where is there such a thing as true best friends? When the master was alive and had the upper hand, Baiwu Ancestor took a beating and acknowledged the master as the big brother. As soon as the master died, he wanted to wipe us out.¡±


    ¡°Do you think that during the initial separation, it was only the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace pushing from behind? In reality, Baiwu Ancestor also sent Chun Yusu to deliver a message to me, saying that if I handed over the Primordial Dao Fruit, he would help me suppress the Wood Vein and Metal Vein.¡±


    ¡°Xuan Xiao Dao Palace wants the entire Eastern Wilderness, while Baiwu Ancestor wishes to obtain the master¡¯s One Yuan Heritage using the pressure from Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.¡±


    After listening to Zhou Ye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai fell into deep thought.


    No wonder Baiwu Ancestor, well-known as Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s good friend, had kept silent about the Five Elements Sect¡¯s internal division, and even later on when the seal of the Poisonous Dragon in Yun Meng Ze became problematic, he ignored it.


    Chen Mobai originally thought that Baiwu Ancestor did not want to get involved, but now it seemed that he was probably waiting intentionally for the Poisonous Dragon to appear.


    ¡°With such an undercover agent, Brother Zhou, why do you still keep him around? Do you want me to take action and deal with him for you?¡±


    If it were any other time, Chen Mobai would definitely still be wary of Baiwu Ancestor, but now that Zhou Shengqing had achieved Nascent Soul Formation, with the Five Elements Meridians seated firmly in the Eastern Wilderness, they had the ability to hold their ground even against a Nascent Soul Major Faction.


    ¡°Chun Yusu is indeed competent, and moreover, Hunyuan Immortal City has been able to obtain many resources not available in the Eastern Wilderness through him, from within Dongyi¡¯s Golden Crow Immortal City.¡±


    Zhou Ye spoke frankly, and after hearing it, Chen Mobai suddenly realized.


    No wonder their Divine Wood Sect¡¯s attempts to acquire resources from the Golden Crow Immortal City were always unsuccessful. He had originally thought it was due to Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s dissatisfaction with Zhou Shengqing over the division, but now it seemed they had been deliberately suppressing their Wood Vein to benefit Zhou Ye.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, you prevented the Primordial Dao Fruit from being leaked to the Day Bathing Sea and preserved our Five Elements Meridians¡¯ supreme heritage, showing your respect for our master¡¯s teachings. One day, when you meet the Primordial Ancestral Master in the afterlife, you can stand proud and tall.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely complimented him. Honestly, if he had been in Zhou Ye¡¯s shoes back then, with the internal divide of the Five Elements Meridians and external threats like Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and Day Bathing Sea Sect looming, he might not have been able to protect the Primordial Dao Fruit himself.


    In his mind, if he could exchange a cultivation technique for strong allies to quell internal strife, he would not hesitate.


    Especially coming from an Immortal Gate, he did not value inheritances as highly as those from the Tianhe Realm did.


    And he did not believe that Baiwu Ancestor could successfully cultivate it, even if he obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit.

    ¡°I also considered submitting entirely to the Day Bathing Sea Sect; after all, aside from Baiwu Ancestor¡¯s willingness to help me settle internal strife, he had other enticing offers, such as Baby-forming Spiritual Things.¡±


    ¡°But upon further thought, if I were to do so, my brothers Nu Jiang and Sheng Shijie would surely not stand by me; even if we managed to quell the internal unrest, I would probably end up all alone.


    ¡°After all, our master was as kind as a mountain to me; although my bonds with my fellow brothers and sisters aren¡¯t deep, I still wouldn¡¯t want to see them die at the hands of Baiwu Ancestor, so in the end, I did not agree.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, you might not be aware, but before the division, Baiwu Ancestor personally came to this Hunyuan Immortal City. Guided by Chun Yusu, he effortlessly came before me. Had it not been for the fear of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, the Five Elements Meridians would probably already be a subsidiary to the Day Bathing Sea Sect by now.¡±


    This revelation caused Chen Mobai¡¯s expression to turn even more shocked.

 Chapter 1281 - Chapter 1281 Chapter 704 The Secret of the Family Division_2

    Chapter 1281: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division_2 Chapter 1281: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division_2 ¡°Had the Primordial Ancestral Master foreseen that the Baiwu Ancestor would betray him before passing away in meditation?¡±


    ¡°Perhaps,¡± Zhou Ye said with a melancholic tone.


    Before the Primordial Ancestral Master passed away in meditation, he had used the last of his Primordial True Qi to condense the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder into Zhou Ye¡¯s body. The latter even felt some resistance at first, for activating it would also undoubtedly spell his own death.


    But now, it seemed that the Primordial Ancestral Master still had far-sighted vision.


    Without the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder in his possession, Zhou Ye would probably have already died twice.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to keep Chun Yusu for now. After all, you might have to contend with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. Before dealing with this formidable enemy, let¡¯s just placate the situation at Sun Bathing Sea for now.¡±


    Zhou Ye spoke; if they were to kill Chun Yusu now, it would clearly signal to the Baiwu Ancestor that they intended to turn against him.


    Before confirming the death of Golden Wind Ancestor, it would be best to avoid making another Nascent Soul Major Faction an enemy.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and left a message: ¡°Brother Zhou, if there is anything in the future that you need to notify me about, you can leave a message at the Little Nan Mountain Shop within the Hunyuan Immortal City.¡±


    Little Nan Mountain Shop had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    Wherever there was a Fang Market gathering of cultivators, that shop sold talisman paper and talisman ink.


    ¡­


    Flame Country Huo Zhen Palace.


    Seated in the Fire Yang Sha Cave, Chen Mobai was practicing the well-mastered Sword Heart technique, guiding strands of dark red currents to merge with a brilliant orange-red light in the palm of his hand, resembling morning dawn.


    Although Chen Mobai had not put much effort into the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, his comprehension of the Pure Yang Scroll had already reached an advanced level.


    Moreover, in the realm of Sword Dao, he was undoubtedly a grandmaster.


    Thus, he had easily upgraded the Primordial Yang Sword Evil to Rank-3.


    As a magnificent aureole burst forth with a brilliance spanning ten thousand feet, this cave behind the Fire Truth Palace emitted an extraordinarily bright light.


    The light pierced the sky, dispelling the clouds overhead, and it shone like a beam connecting heaven and earth, illuminating all around.


    Chen Mobai, with an unhurried demeanor, lifted this Rank-3 Primordial Yang Sword Evil in his palm and directed it toward the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist.


    However, with a crack!


    No sooner had the Primordial Yang Sword Evil entered a bit of it than the Yellow Skin Gourd seemed to burst open, unable to withstand it and split apart.


    Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback at this sight.


    He remembered his Yellow Skin Gourd was merely of Rank-2 quality, and a Rank-3 Sword Evil, for it, was indeed too much.


    Chen Mobai immediately halted his actions, retrieving his Pursuing Sun Talisman Brush, and drew reinforcing and fire-resistant talismans on the gourd.


    After completing these, he condensed the Primordial Yang Sword Evil in his palm into an orange-red Sword Pill.


    This represented the realm of Sword Practicing into Marrow¨Csignifying a mastery of Sword Evil, harmonious and ideal.


    Chen Mobai, blessed with a Fire Spirit Body, easily achieved perfection in fire attribute techniques and naturally, the Primordial Yang Sword Evil was no exception.


    After containing all the powers of the Sword Evil, he effortlessly placed the orange-red Sword Pill into the Yellow Skin Gourd.


    ¡°It seems I need to find a Rank-3 container.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought to himself, after reinforcing with talismans yet seeing the gourd still cracked. He then sealed it up and hung it at his waist.


    Actually, the Primordial Yang Sword Evil could also be stored inside his body, but the power enhancement of the Sword Secret was far faster than a cultivator¡¯s physical resilience.


    In the Immortal Gate, many cultivators, unable to control their own power when falling into demonic states, had their bodies splinter from the rampant Sword Evil inside.


    Thus, in the later stages, sword cultivators in the Immortal Gate generally cultivated the Sword Dao internally and practiced Sword Secrets externally.


    Sword bags, sword boxes, sword kettles, and gourds, all served as excellent containers for harboring Sword Evil.


    Of course, directly integrating the Sword Evil with one¡¯s own Lifebound Flying Sword was also an excellent method.


    Chen Mobai, although with the Morning Bell suppressing his Sea of Consciousness and with virtually no chance of falling into demonic states, still wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.


    The power of the Extreme Sun Slash had reached its limit and could not harm his Fire Spirit Body, but the Primordial Yang Sword Evil was different¨Cit could be enhanced up to Rank-5.


    By then, he estimated that even a perfected Longevity Dao Body might not withstand it.


    Thus, Chen Mobai had always nurtured the Primordial Yang Sword Evil externally.


    After the Yellow Skin Gourd had reached its limit, the sentimentally attached Chen Mobai planned to see if he could find a Rank-3 or even a Rank-4 gourd to upgrade.


    If that truly wasn¡¯t possible, he¡¯d consider carving a sword box from Rank-4 Everlife Wood.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai slowly stood up.


    The thin dark red currents in the Land of the Dead cave, like a receding tide, contracted back into the depths of the cave.


    Having raised the Primordial Yang Sword Evil to Rank-3, this Fire Yang Sha Cave, nurtured by the Fire Truth Palace for decades, was almost drained by him.

    If not for the fact that this Fire Yang Evil had little use to Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s own cultivation, merely good for condensing Divine Thunder Pearls, she might indeed have not been willing to let Chen Mobai make use of it.


    ¡°Congratulations Sect Leader, your Sword technique has succeeded!¡±


    Outside the cave, a woman cultivator dressed in red with a beautiful face and voluptuous figure immediately saluted upon seeing Chen Mobai emerge.


    She was Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s disciple, Tan Rong, who had basically stood guard at the cave entrance during Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation practice.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Nephew Tan. Has Sheng Shijie finished her cultivation?¡±

 Chapter 1282 - Chapter 1282 704

    Chapter 1282: 704 Chapter 1282: 704 When Chen Mobai arrived, Sheng Zhaoxi was refining a Magic Artifact, but she had already given instructions, so Tan Rong directly brought him here.


    ¡°Master will be able to leave seclusion in three days.¡±


    Hearing Tan Rong¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded. The Formless Puppet had already left Hunyuan Immortal City to the border, and he could go retrieve the gains from the Yiyuan Mijing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll return after three days!¡±


    After leaving these words behind, Chen Mobai transformed into a streak of flame Escaping Light, disappearing from the spot.


    Tan Rong looked up and saw a trail of colorful clouds in the sky, already flying towards the southern horizon.


    It was still on top of that small mountain at the border.


    Only this time, there was only the Formless Puppet; Jiang Zong Heng and Duan Shuyu had both returned to the capital to prepare for the final campaign to unify Eastern Wilderness next spring.


    Chen Mobai first took the Formless Puppet¡¯s Storage Bag, then removed the Heavenly Calculation Bead, beginning to assimilate everything that his Puppet Body had experienced during this time.


    By the time he was almost finished going through it, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of surprise.


    He never imagined that within Yiyuan Mijing, aside from the Five Elements Spirit Tree, there were so many Rank-4 resources, and even an Altar of State left by an Ascended Monk.


    Had he known earlier, he should have sent Turtle Treasure with the Formless Puppet.


    He could have set up an anchor point there too, to readily transport himself in and accept the Great Tao inheritance of True Lord Yuan.


    But he only regretted it for a moment.


    After all, Turtle Treasure was the foundation of his power across two realms; letting the Formless Puppet take it carried the risk of getting trapped in Yiyuan Mijing. Without clear intelligence, he would make the same choice again.


    Besides, Yiyuan Mijing was right there in Hunyuan Immortal City and wasn¡¯t going anywhere.


    As long as his cultivation level continuously increased, the secret realm would inevitably be his one day; why rush the moment?


    Having realized this, Chen Mobai put away the Formless Puppet, then activated his Divine Sense to open the Storage Bag he had acquired this time.


    What captured his attention the most was naturally the three Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, followed by the branches of the Five Elements Spirit Tree.


    With the perfect and precise control over Spiritual Energy from the side of the Immortal Gate, creating a Spiritual Land with balanced Five Element Spiritual Energy was definitely not a problem.


    But as the Five Elements Spirit Tree was a truly wondrous natural treasure capable of aiding a True Lord Yuan in cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit, balanced Five Element Spiritual Energy was certainly just a basic requirement. Whether they could bring this branch to life and even nurture it to grow would depend on Zhuo Ming constantly engaging in All Things Spiritual Communication and nurturing it with the Mother Qi of All Things.


    Of course, Chen Mobai¡¯s Echoes in the Void could also accomplish this, but he was too busy for it to make sense to tie himself down over just a single Five Elements Spirit Tree.


    Three days later.


    Chen Mobai had a delightful conversation with the newly emerged Sheng Zhaoxi. After returning the Fire Attribute Jade Pendant to her, he spoke of the treasures from Yiyuan Mijing.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Since Chen Mobai had use for the three Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, he gave some Rank-4 Spirit Material obtained from the secret realm to Sheng Zhaoxi, who was very satisfied with it.


    With Geng Metal and Bing Fire essence of Rank-4, she could try to upgrade her lifespan artifact, the Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring, to Rank-4.


    She also took some water containing the essence of Ren Water, which she planned to use for quenching during the artifact¡¯s upgrade.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, my disciple has the potential to achieve Foundation Establishment Completion. If next time you in the Wood Vein refine some Core Formation Spiritual Material, could you let me exchange for a piece for her?¡±


    In the end, Sheng Zhaoxi pointed at Tan Rong, who was serving the two of them, and said a word.

 Chapter 1283 - Chapter 1283 Chapter 705 Dividing the Dan

    Chapter 1283: Chapter 705: Dividing the Dan Chapter 1283: Chapter 705: Dividing the Dan Actually, the Fire Truth Palace had a Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner.


    However, that person was too old, already over two hundred years of age; it was definitive that there was no possibility for them to achieve Gold Core formation.


    Within the Fire Vein of Sheng Zhaoxi, the disciple who now carried hope was none other than Tan Rong.


    ¡°This naturally isn¡¯t a problem. When the time comes, it will be based on the amount of contributions. As long as Nephew Tan¡¯s contributions to the Five Elements Meridians are sufficient, I can arrange it on my part,¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.


    Since the Five Elements Meridians were to be re-integrated, if he wanted to wield control over them effortlessly in the future, equitable distribution of resources on the surface was definitely necessary.


    After all, later on, he would need the Five Elements Meridians to help him condense the Five Elements Essence.


    Zhou Ye now had the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit and was able to achieve great success with the Primordial Dao Fruit without needing the Five Elements Essence, so there was no need to hold onto this trick any longer.


    ¡°Then I must thank you in advance, Junior Brother,¡±


    Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhaoxi was also very happy.


    In previous years, the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley had openly collaborated to gather materials for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, and the news regarding this Gold Elixir Spiritual Medicine was basically known to the major powers of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although, to this day, only Chen Mobai has successfully formed a Gold Core with the help of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, it has already made the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Eastern Wilderness very envious.


    After all, the Gold Core Spiritual Materials in the Eastern Wilderness were less reliable than the next.


    The Snow-blowing Palace used Ice Marrow Pure Jade and Rank-4 Water Mist Ice Crystals, while the Back to Sky Valley had a set of Rank-3 elixirs, respectively targeting the body, Spiritual Power, and Divine Sense.


    These adjuncts to Gold Core formation were essentially tailored to the cultivation techniques of the various sects. Even so, their effects were far inferior to the universally compatible Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Therefore, upon hearing that she had a chance, Tan Rong who was nearby, also suppressed her excitement, and with very steady hands, picked up the teapot to pour tea for both.


    This tea was very familiar to Chen Mobai; it was actually the Snow Needle Immortal Bud.


    As an Artifact Refiner, Sheng Zhaoxi, because of the strong fire Qi within his body, needed to take in cold teas and the like to balance it out ¨C and the Snow Needle Immortal Bud was most suitable for this.


    No wonder the tea from the Snow Peak Bai Family, aside from the supply given to the Divine Wood Sect for Gold Core formation, was always not enough.


    It turned out that they had been selling it to this side of the Fire Truth Palace.


    Knowing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much else.


    After all, it was quite normal for cultivator families in the Tianhe Realm to have multiple strategems up their sleeves.


    One surely couldn¡¯t just exterminate the Snow Peak Bai Family for conducting business with the Fire Truth Palace before the unification of the Five Elements Meridians.


    Chen Mobai soon put this out of his mind.


    After leaving the Fire Truth Palace, he first went to Jian Country, which bordered the Fire Country, and returned to Giant Tree Ridge to return Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Jade Pendant to him.


    ¡°I never expected it, Zhou Ye actually endured such grievances,¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, after Chen Mobai explained the affair of the Baiwu Ancestor wanting to forcefully take the Primordial Dao Fruit, couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion.


    If Zhou Ye didn¡¯t speak of it, he would have never known it for the rest of his life.


    No wonder after splitting off from the main family, using his identity as a disciple of Ancestor Hunyuan, his several attempts to visit the Golden Crow Immortal City were met with rejection. He had originally thought it was because the Baiwu Ancestor favored Zhou Ye, who had received the robe and bowl transmission, but now he understood it was only because Zhou Shengqing lacked the Primordial Dao Fruit, and hence had no value in the eyes of Baiwu Ancestor.


    ¡°If Zhou Ye manages to perform Nascent Soul Formation in the future, I will not stop him,¡±


    Having sighed with these feelings, Zhou Shengqing uttered this line.


    Previously, he had planned, should Zhou Ye form a Nascent Soul before Chen Mobai, to even stake his old life to prevent it.


    Now that he knew the ins and outs, he felt that his Junior Brother wasn¡¯t so detestable after all.


    ¡°Brother, here is the Cultivation Method for the Primordial Dao Fruit¡­¡±


    After speaking all this, Chen Mobai then engraved the Primordial Dao Fruit he had organized into a Jade Slip and handed it over to Zhou Shengqing.


    Zhou Ye, when teaching it, naturally imposed restrictions.


    He can teach this Primordial Dao Fruit only to the Sect Members of the Five Elements Meridians. Zhou Shengqing, being a proper and direct line of descent, naturally did not have a problem.


    ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯ve worked hard!¡±


    When Zhou Shengqing received the Jade Slip, his hands trembled slightly.


    Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had been by the side of Ancestor Hunyuan and had witnessed several times his own Master¡¯s display of Primordial True Qi¡¯s dominance, full of heroic spirit, always hoping he could receive the inheritance of this supreme Divine Skill.


    Unfortunately, his Spirit Root Talent was insufficient, and even before Ancestor Hunyuan Passed Away in Meditation, Zhou Shengqing only managed to get hints of the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Regarding this, he had actually given up hope upon splitting from the main family.


    He felt that in his lifetime, he would probably never get the chance to witness the full scope of the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    After all, he had become mortal enemies with Zhou Ye!


    Who would have imagined that, after turning and twisting for a hundred years, he would ultimately rely on an outstanding junior to obtain, without bloodshed, this long-coveted supreme Divine Skill from Zhou Ye¡¯s hands.


    ¡°This method requires at least a Heavenly Spirit Root for cultivation. The orthodox method even requires specifically a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, while Brother Mo¡¯s alternative method is applicable to the other Four Elements¡¯ Heavenly Spirit Roots. However, to master it, one must be willing to invest ten times or even dozens of times the effort,¡±


    ¡°`


    Chen Mobai had no reason to conceal anything from Zhou Shengqing and shared everything he had comprehended, as well as what Zhou Ye had taught him about the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    ¡°Can Qing Mei cultivate it?¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was nearby, asked on behalf of his disciple after hearing the discussion.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already passed the Transformation Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect to her, and just that alone is likely something she might not achieve even if she exhausts all her efforts in her lifetime, so let¡¯s not delay her with the Primordial Dao Fruit.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, rejecting the proposal.


    ¡°I was too greedy.¡±


    After hearing this, Fu Zongjue also realized it and said with a self-mocking laugh.


    The Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture was already a path to heaven, and if Yin Qingmei were to be distracted with the Primordial Dao Fruit as well, even with a Heavenly Spirit Root, it would probably all be in vain.


    ¡°The Golden Liquid Jade Pills that Yan Shaoyin refined this time aren¡¯t few in number; there are five in total. Do the two senior brothers have any opinions on how to distribute them?¡±


    Having finished discussing the Primordial Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai brought out their gains from the trip to Back to Sky Valley.


    Even Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, with their composure, were slightly agitated and breathed more rapidly when the five Golden Liquid Jade Pills were presented.


    ¡°The sect currently has five Foundation Establishment Completion practitioners, and there are exactly five pills here too, so we should just distribute them directly to them,¡± suggested Fu Zongjue first, since among those at the peak of Foundation Establishment, Quan Shanlin and Yin Qingmei were his disciples, and Xie Yuntian was his direct lineage.


    Zhou Shengqing did not oppose, but he added two more names to the list.


    ¡°In addition to those who have completed Foundation Establishment, the sect also has Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er, two Heterodox Golden Core practitioners. If they used the Golden Liquid Jade Pills in combination with the Gold Core Transition Technique, their chances of successful Core Formation would be even higher¡­¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was implying that the elixirs should be provided to the cultivators in the sect who were most likely to succeed at Core Formation.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that this was because Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er were his disciples.


    As Core Formation was a significant milestone, they had both shamelessly sought guarantees in front of Chen Mobai.


    This approach would mean Yue Zutao and Zheng Deming would fall out of favor.


    The former was a direct disciple of Chen Mobai, and the latter had done tasks for him, making him practically one of his own. Moreover, being a Loose Cultivator, Chen Mobai planned to set him as an example.


    ¡°In my opinion, we three should not intervene in this matter. We should set a deadline for exchanges. When the time comes, the five disciples with the highest contributions to the sect can earn the right to exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pills. This provides a fair competition opportunity to all disciples. How does that sound?¡±


    Chen Mobai could not openly object, but his meaning was clear.


    He did not entirely agree with the list of five candidates that Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had favored.


    ¡°Agreed!¡± The two of them nodded immediately.


    After all, the status of the Divine Wood Sect relied heavily on Chen Mobai¡¯s diligent management after his Core Formation, and even if he had unilaterally decided the ownership of the five Golden Liquid Jade Pills, they would not have objected.


    After that matter was settled, Chen Mobai then took out three Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.


    ¡°I plan to give this Gold Element Spiritual Fruit to Brother Mo. What do the senior brothers think?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of Junior Brother Mo,¡± Zhou Shengqing said, expressing his gratitude to Chen Mobai with delight.


    ¡°As for this Earth Element Spiritual Fruit and Water Attribute Spiritual Fruit, I plan to keep them for when my two disciples form their Gold Cores.¡±


    Like Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai was also frank about looking out for his disciples.


    The Yiyuan Secret Realm could be opened mainly thanks to Zhou Ye and Chen Mobai, but the four Jade Pendants were also crucial.


    Hence, in Fire Truth Palace, Chen Mobai had given Sheng Zhaoxi many Rank-4 Spirit Materials, and on this side at Giant Tree Ridge, he showed great respect for Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Brother¡¯s decision is final,¡± Zhou Shengqing said heartily after hearing this, and Fu Zongjue naturally had no objections.


    In reality, if Luo Yixuan were to form her Gold Core without the Water Spirit Fruit, her chances would still be very high. But as she was his own disciple, Chen Mobai¡¯s preparation of this Water Spirit Fruit for her would guarantee a one hundred percent success rate.


    If she succeeds without it, the fruit could still be saved for later, possibly to find a chance to give it to Qing Nu at the Immortal Gate in the future.


    As for Zhuo Ming¡¯s Core Formation, her chances were not as certain as Luo Yixuan¡¯s. Chen Mobai considered whether he could refine another batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills aside from the Earth Spirit Fruit.


    After distributing the three Spiritual Fruits, Chen Mobai took out the Rank-4 Spiritual Materials he got from the Yiyuan Secret Realm.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s eyes shone with greed; he needed various Rank-4 materials to refine the Six Heavenly Generals and unreservedly took some for himself.


    Zhou Shengqing, as an Embodiment of Nascent Soul, had no need for these materials.

    ¡°Junior brother, I¡¯ll accompany you on a trip to Golden Cliff and Wind Rain Hamlet,¡± Zhou Shengqing suggested.


    Chen Mobai nodded; their Wood Vein had basically monopolized the biggest gains from the Yiyuan Secret Realm.


    Mo Douguang could also obtain one, but he would need to exchange a Primordial Stone for it. That item was of special significance to him, and it was the core of the Golden Light Spirit Vein as well; it was uncertain whether he would be willing to trade.


    The same logic applied to Wind Rain Hamlet and Nu Jiang, considering that the Water Spirit Fruit would be very useful to Nu Jiang.


    It was more appropriate for Zhou Shengqing to mediate than for Chen Mobai himself.

 Chapter 1284 - Chapter 1284 Chapter 706 The Formation of Hun Yuan True Qi

    Chapter 1284: Chapter 706: The Formation of Hun Yuan True Qi Chapter 1284: Chapter 706: The Formation of Hun Yuan True Qi ¡°Junior Brother, if you can cultivate into Chaotic Dao Fruit, then I can finally put my mind at ease,¡± Zhou Ye said, handing over the Primordial Stone. ¡°Take it.¡±


    At Golden Cliff, Mo Douguang immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing the intentions of Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Mo, I¡¯ll head up first.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately expressed his gratitude to Mo Douguang and then left Zhou Shengqing behind.


    The Golden Spiritual Fruit and the Jade Pendant had already been given to Zhou Shengqing, allowing the two brothers to reminisce.


    Chen Mobai flew to the highest peak of Golden Cliff, making his way familiarly to the fist-sized, dull stone before him.


    This was the Primordial Stone, but Chen Mobai wondered whether it could still serve as the core of the Spirit Vein after absorbing its Primordial True Qi.


    Just in case, Chen Mobai took out the two fully charged Supreme-grade Spirit Stones he had on him.


    Although changing the Spirit Vein Core would necessitate altering, or even deactivating, the Mountain Protection Array of Golden Cliff, Mo Douguang was unconcerned.


    After all, since the branch of Golden Cliff was established, the Mountain Protection Array had never been fully activated.


    In the days when the Seven Great Factions of the East Desolate shaped the world, the fierce reputation of Golden Cliff was well known, especially being a Sect of Sword Cultivators, it usually made rogue cultivators steer clear of the Wind Country.


    To Mo Douguang, having the Mountain Protection Array seemed no different from not having it at all.


    Chen Mobai sat cross-legged in front of the Primordial Stone and began to use the Grand Spell, Listening with Empty Valley Echo.


    However, minerals like Spirit Stones are deeply silent in thought, and often Chen Mobai¡¯s Echoes in the Void could not detect their fluctuations, as they might take years for even a single thought to turn.


    The Primordial Stone was slightly better.


    Chen Mobai could sense that flowing inside were energies with profound rhythms, and upon probing with his Divine Sense, it felt like gazing upon the cosmos and its infinite galaxies, vast yet intricate.


    Was this the Primordial True Qi left by the Primordial Ancestral Master!


    During his previous enlightenment, Chen Mobai came away empty-handed; to maintain his facade as a peerless genius of the Sword Dao, he had to resort to creating an impression of insight through the formidable display of the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation.


    But this time was different!


    Having grasped the profound understanding of the Dao Fruit Method through Enlightenment Tea, perhaps not even Zhou Ye had such deep comprehension.


    What he lacked now was the experience of practical cultivation.


    Regretfully, this supreme Divine Skill of the East Desolate was difficult to start; even with a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, it would take at least a decade to begin cultivation, to condense the first thread of Primordial True Qi ¨C not to mention for those with other elemental Heavenly Spiritual Roots.


    Luckily, there was an expedited way to enter.


    Chen Mobai used the great technique of Listening with Empty Valley Echo to fully capture the surface fluctuations of the Primordial True Qi within the Primordial Stone.


    Yet this accelerated method of absorbing Primordial True Qi was, after all, told to him by Zhou Ye.


    Chen Mobai did not fully trust him yet.


    Therefore, instead of refining it by directly channeling it into his flesh, he planned to take a detour.


    Giant semi-transparent fingertips emerged from behind Chen Mobai in the Void, gradually forming into a complete right hand under the control of his Divine Sense, gently grasping the dull, inconspicuous Primordial Stone in front of him.


    After creating an External Incarnation, Chen Mobai began channeling the Primordial True Qi inside the Primordial Stone using the Dao Fruit Method.


    Soon, a brilliant multi-colored stream of Qi lit up from within the dull stone.


    As Chen Mobai listened, the Primordial True Qi started to change.


    If previously the Primordial True Qi he sensed was like a calm and vast ocean, serene and limitless, then after his channeling stirred it, it became like tempestuous waves, violently surging.


    Chen Mobai estimated that without a robust physique and strong constitution, one probably couldn¡¯t endure the entry of Primordial True Qi into the body without being disintegrated.


    Zhou Ye hadn¡¯t mentioned this; his intentions weren¡¯t good.


    Chen Mobai thought to himself but soon realized that Zhou Ye wouldn¡¯t have known he would come to Golden Cliff to absorb and refine the Primordial True Qi from the Primordial Stone. Still, he made a mental note of it.


    Chen Mobai then estimated his own Longevity Dao Body, at Rank-3 Perfection, should be able to withstand it.


    But first, he would try it with the External Incarnation.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai channeled every bit of the Primordial True Qi from the Primordial Stone.


    After inhaling the complete stream of the splendid Qi into the right hand of his External Incarnation, Chen Mobai directed it to the virtual location of his Middle Dantian through his Divine Sense.


    Chen Mobai had long since been Empowered with a Rank-4 Realm of this Grand Spell from the Longevity Sect.


    Although he hadn¡¯t truly cultivated it due to lack of resources, the essential framework ¨C the bones, meridians, organs, and acupoints ¨C was already in place, just waiting for the subsequent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, Five Elements Essence, Earthly Fiendish Qi, and purity of energies to achieve Great Perfection.


    When he transported the Primordial True Qi to the virtual location of the spleen and stomach, which had become somewhat substantial due to the absorption of the Qi of Creation, they suddenly twinkled with Spiritual Light.

    Chen Mobai, having been highly attentive, immediately noticed it.


    He pondered for a while and decided to take out the teaware and the remaining half jar of Enlightenment Tea from his Storage Bag.


    After boiling the conjured water, he carefully steeped the leaves.


    Amidst the effects of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai closed his eyes to meditate.


    He quickly understood the key to it all.

 Chapter 1285 - Chapter 1285 706

    Chapter 1285: 706 Chapter 1285: 706 There are five major realms within the External Incarnation, among which the ¡°Heavenly Viscus¡± realm condenses the essence qi of the five elements from heaven and earth to form the internal essence of the external incarnation, building a complete human-world of heaven and earth with the five elements circulating.


    This is also known as Wuqi Chaoyuan!


    After reaching this realm, one could freely transform the Five Elements Spiritual Power. It was through this that the Heavenly Sovereign freed himself from the shackles of his wooden body.


    The five great Immortal Scriptures of the Longevity Sect could also find verification within this realm.


    Moreover, the essence of the Primordial Dao Fruit seemed to be just this.


    Under the effects of Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai, by reflecting on his External Incarnation, the five great Immortal Scriptures, and the Primordial Dao Fruit, quickly discovered this key.


    The reason why his external incarnation¡¯s stomach and spleen resonated with the Primordial True Qi was due to the Qi of Creation that he had refined back in Northern Abyss City.


    Although it wasn¡¯t much, it was undoubtedly Innate Earth Essence Qi.


    It perfectly matched with the Primordial True Qi cultivated through this orthodox method.


    Normally, if one were to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit according to standard methods, having a complete strand of Innate Earth Essence Qi along with a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root is a strict requirement.


    But the key for Chen Mobai was not to start from scratch and cultivate on his own.


    Rather, he opted for a shortcut, directly drawing in a strand of Primordial True Qi into his body.


    Thus, with the Qi of Creation present, as he operated the Primordial Dao Fruit, he quickly found that the originally unruly Primordial True Qi started to subdue, returning to its former calm and stable state.


    At this moment, Listening with Empty Valley Echo completely tuned in to all the fluctuations of this Primordial True Qi.


    The message expressed seemed like a verification had been passed, recognizing that Chen Mobai was qualified to refine it.


    This meant that he did not need to forcibly resist with a Longevity Dao Body, as the Primordial True Qi would cooperate to be refined by him.


    However, Chen Mobai, always cautious, still circulated the Primordial True Qi through the refining technique within his External Incarnation three times, confirming there were absolutely no issues before he extended his right hand, reaching towards the huge, transparent phantom¡¯s Middle Dantian in mid-air.


    As Primordial True Qi exhausts the Five Elements Spiritual Power, to avoid conflict with a cultivator¡¯s own spiritual power after cultivation, it is always suspended in the Middle Dantian.


    His Divine Sense began integrating with this Primordial True Qi, a process that was most time-consuming.


    It took about an hour before Chen Mobai felt he had imprinted his mark into the Primordial True Qi.


    After completing this step, he then dared to refine the Primordial True Qi into his body.


    With a thought of his Divine Sense, without any mishaps, that brilliantly colorful qi flow, like a tangible mist, entered his palm.


    Following this, Chen Mobai watched as the skin on his palm turned suddenly transparent, with the colorful qi flowing through the meridians, passing through the Twelve Meridians, five viscera, and six bowels.


    Initially, to enhance his Earth Spirit Root, his physical body had also been refined with the Qi of Creation, so there was a combination of Innate Earth Essence Qi and the spleen and stomach.


    After the Primordial True Qi passed through, it obediently settled into the Dantian Qi Sea, immediately transforming into a streak of colorful qi that rose up, remaining suspended in the Middle Dantian.


    This indicated that he had entered the doorway to the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Chen Mobai grew curious about the power of this Primordial True Qi, especially since it was touted as being incredibly magnificent.


    He extended both hands, and with a thought of his Divine Sense, a colorful qi flow emerged in his right palm, while a bright red Red Flame Spirit Power appeared in his left palm.


    As they collided, the Red Flame Spirit Power was instantly disintegrated into the most primal Fire Spiritual Power upon contact, dissipating into the atmosphere.


    However, this Primordial True Qi was Rank-4, and the Red Flame Spirit Power was only Rank-3, so it was expected to be easily defeated.


    Chen Mobai then directly increased the intensity.


    He immediately activated the most powerful move of the Red Flame Sword Jue, the Extreme Sun Slash.


    A white light, swift as lightning, surged forth.


    The Extreme Sun Slash, resembling a spirit fish, cut into the Primordial True Qi, but only persisted for a few breaths before it too was disintegrated into the purest Fire Spiritual Power.


    Is this the Primordial Dao Fruit that shatters all Five Elements Cultivation Techniques in the world?


    Truly domineering!


    With the Purple Electric Sword uninvoked, the Extreme Sun Slash was Chen Mobai¡¯s strongest attack, also at the Rank-4 level.


    But even so, it was easily neutralized by the Primordial True Qi.


    However, Chen Mobai also noticed that the strand of Primordial True Qi in his right palm, after dissolving the Extreme Sun Slash, had dimmed and shrunk slightly.


    While it shattered the Five Elements, it also depended on one¡¯s own foundation.


    Facing a Nascent Soul Superior who strikes with Rank-4 spells and divine skills, there are enough spiritual powers to completely exhaust this strand of Primordial True Qi.


    Or one could directly deploy a Magic Artifact without using Spells or Divine Skills.


    After all, when Ancestor Hunyuan was alive, he had dominated the Eastern Region with his Primordial True Qi, and those Cultivators who had lived long enough had all heard of and knew how to counter this supreme Divine Skill of the First Origin Dao Palace.


    Yet even so, Chen Mobai still let a smile spread across his face, extremely delighted.


    At least with this Primordial True Qi protecting his body, no Five Elements Spells in the world could get close to him.


    If he could not challenge a Nascent Soul, a Gold Core was definitely within reach.


    From now on, he dared to say that there were no rivals under the level of Nascent Soul!


    After experimenting with some other Five Elements Spells and confirming that he had successfully refined this stream of Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai retracted it back into his Middle Dantian.


    He had also considered colliding Pure Yang Spiritual Power with Primordial True Qi to see if the Spiritual Power cultivated from this Immortal Gate¡¯s Divine Transformation Technique could break the shackles of the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    However, to be cautious, he decided to wait until he had cultivated a second stream of Primordial True Qi before attempting.


    After all, this stream of Primordial True Qi was meant to be kept as a seed.


    If it dissipated due to exhaustion during a collision with Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai would have nowhere to cry.


    He certainly couldn¡¯t just consume the one within Mo Douguang¡¯s Longevity Sword.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then stood up and began inspecting the Primordial Stone and the Spirit Vein of Golden Cliff, now devoid of Primordial True Qi.


    Fortunately, the Primordial Stone itself was of Rank-4 quality, capable of suppressing the Spirit Vein even without Primordial True Qi.


    And the Mountain Protection Array of Golden Cliff drew its power from the Spirit Vein.


    Since the Spirit Vein was intact, the Array naturally functioned as usual.


    After listening to the Spirit Vein of the entire Golden Cliff with Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai finally let go of the worry he had been holding onto.


    None of the concerns had materialized.


    This trip to Golden Cliff had yielded the best results he had anticipated.


    Chen Mobai meditated at the mountain peak for three more days, confirming that he had mastery over the Primordial True Qi in his Middle Dantian and that both the Spirit Vein and Array of Golden Cliff had no issues before he let out a loud cry to announce the end of his seclusion.


    Soon after, two strong Divine Senses surged from the middle of the mountain.


    It was Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang.


    The two did not dare confirm if Chen Mobai had finished his seclusion, so they did not come up.


    Chen Mobai immediately used an Escape Technique and descended from the peak to the mountainside.


    ¡°Junior Brother, how did it go?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang stood in a stone pavilion, watching Chen Mobai descend the mountain and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Even the usually stoic Mo Douguang showed a face full of concern.


    After all, this Primordial Dao Fruit was also a stone in his own heart.


    ¡°Fortunately, I succeeded!¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly replied and raised his right hand, the familiar stream of multicolored light making Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang feel as if they saw Ancestor Hunyuan returning, their expressions slightly stirred.


    ¡°Very good, very good!¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai had truly mastered this supreme Divine Skill of the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing felt a profound sense of fulfillment sensing that all his wishes in life had come to fruition.


    Although he had not cultivated the Primordial True Qi himself and couldn¡¯t truly be considered to have inherited Ancestor Hunyuan¡¯s mantle,


    Chen Mobai¡¯s success was akin to his own success.


    From now on, their Wood Vein¡¯s inheritance of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s name was just and proper!


    On the side, Mo Douguang, observing the Primordial True Qi in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, also revealed a trace of relief on his face, seeming to have lifted a heavy burden, and his entire demeanor became more rounded.

    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, thank you for that Five Elements Spirit Fruit.¡±


    Mo Douguang gestured towards Chen Mobai. He was the last among the Five Elements Meridians to achieve Core Formation, with less accumulation than Zhou Shengqing and Zhou Ye, and since he had already consumed one, this time it was only half as effective, so he wasn¡¯t sure he could achieve Perfect Core Formation.


    But seeing Chen Mobai successfully cultivate the Primordial True Qi, he felt confident about his success.


    Because his mindset had reached the needed level!


    The rest was just a matter of accumulating Spiritual Power.

 Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 Chapter 707 The Title of the Five Elements Sect

    Chapter 1286: Chapter 707: The Title of the Five Elements Sect Chapter 1286: Chapter 707: The Title of the Five Elements Sect After refining the Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai stayed at Golden Cliff for a few more days.


    During this period, he encountered a pair of acquaintances.


    They were none other than the siblings, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, who had fought side by side with him on Qing Light Island in Cloud Dream Marsh.


    They had become a Daoist couple, and Shi Pengyi had entered the final rounds of the Sword Competition the year before last, obtaining a Foundation Building Pill.


    It was coincidental that during Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, Shi Pengyi was planning to enter seclusion to consume the Foundation Building Pill.


    For these cultivators, it was the only chance to ascend to heaven in one step.


    Knowing that, Shi Pengyi had intentionally postponed his seclusion to seek guidance from Chen Mobai. After all, the latter¡¯s reputation in the Eastern Wilderness as a Great Sage and Good Teacher was well-known.


    Few cultivators who received his guidance failed to make a breakthrough.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was willing to help.


    ¡°Your body has hidden injuries, and there are many impurities in your spiritual power, though your divine sense is robust. My suggestion is to recuperate your body, purify your spiritual power, and then with the addition of the Foundation Building Pill, the chances of success will be very high.¡±


    Chen Mobai used a Formless Puppet to simulate the process and then frankly told Shi Pengyi the results, who appeared both pleased and worried.


    ¡°I appreciate your guidance, Sect Master Chen.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for formalities. You¡¯ve also deviated a bit in your sword technique cultivation. At this level¡­¡±


    By pointing out the areas highlighted in red simulated by the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai went through them with Shi Pengyi, who showed expressions of surprise, shock after verifying the suggestions through actual practice, and finally disbelief after hearing everything, his expressions visibly changing.


    ¡°I heard you and Luo Lin became Daoist partners; why didn¡¯t I see her with you today?¡±


    Chen Mobai was explaining this to Shi Pengyi in a stone pavilion on the mountainside of Golden Cliff, behind which was the cave dwelling arranged for him by Mo Douguang, also a site of the rare fourth grade spirit veins.


    Upon receiving Chen Mobai¡¯s summons, Shi Pengyi came alone.


    ¡°My senior sister is pregnant and is less mobile. Moreover, without a decree from Sect Master Chen, I didn¡¯t dare to bring her along.¡±


    Shi Pengyi was a rather simple and straightforward man. After all, Chen Mobai was now the pinnacle among Eastern Wilderness¡¯ cultivators, and he didn¡¯t feel the minor past friendship from their Qi Cultivation days would be enough to concern such a figure.


    His previous formal request for a meeting was prompted by the immensity of Foundation Establishment. It was only after knowing that Chen Mobai had arrived at Golden Cliff, and under Luo Lin¡¯s insistence, that he gathered the courage to send a request.


    Fearing to disturb Chen Mobai¡¯s peace, Shi Pengyi came alone after receiving a reply.


    ¡°Ha-ha-ha, that¡¯s great news. Let me think about what would make a good gift for the child¡¯s birth¡­¡±


    Hearing that Luo Lin was pregnant, Chen Mobai, considering himself an elder, felt he should get something suitable for a child.


    But the lowest grade items in his storage bag were second-order Golden Halberds.


    Giving those to a child who may or may not have a spiritual root was inappropriate.


    ¡°Ah, I have an idea¡­¡±


    After pacing back and forth for a while, Chen Mobai remembered he was a Talisman Maker and slapped his forehead; he took out his talisman brush, talisman paper, and talisman ink from his storage bag.


    He had received ten Taoist talisman papers as exam questions when he tested for his second-order talisman making rank at the Immortal Gate.


    Some were perfectly suitable.


    Chen Mobai picked up the Sun-Chasing Talisman Brush, dipped it in talisman ink, and spread out a piece of talisman paper directly on the stone table, completing the work in one stroke.


    A second-order Immaculate Talisman was formed.


    This talisman could keep the wearer spotlessly clean, and even germs couldn¡¯t enter the body; it would ensure the child grew up healthy and clean.


    After drawing this talisman, Chen Mobai took another piece of second-order talisman paper and drew an Armor Transformation Talisman.


    This was a defensive talisman. Once activated, it would create a full-body armor that could withstand the spells of second-order.


    The ones he drew were naturally of second order high grade.


    To avoid the child being unable to activate them, Chen Mobai infused a streak of his own Pure Yang Spiritual Power into each talisman. With the preservation of the talisman paper, they could be used for at least thirty to forty years.


    ¡°Give these two talismans to the child to wear; consider it a small token from me as an uncle.¡±


    ¡°This is¡­ too valuable¡­¡±


    Shi Pengyi, greatly moved and hesitant to accept, knew that even as a True Disciple of Golden Cliff, the best he had was a lower-grade second-order defensive talisman.


    Little did he know his child, even before birth, would have a richer inheritance than his own.


    ¡°Take it; it¡¯s not for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, and only then did Shi Pengyi dare to receive them.


    ¡°If my child can cultivate in the future, I will ensure they sing praises of Sect Master Chen¡¯s name and remember your kindness.¡±


    Chen Mobai merely smiled without saying a word to Shi Pengyi¡¯s remark.


    For him, this might be his last interaction with this former comrade.

    After all, as his cultivation level continued to climb, his lifespan would extend further, while the chances of Shi Pengyi¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment, according to the Formless Puppet¡¯s simulation, were not very high.


    A hundred years later, this brother and sister might be nothing but bones in their graves.


    As for their child, even though both parents were cultivators, most of their cultivation life had been sustained by consuming Fasting Pills to meet the body¡¯s basic needs, leading to an insufficient elemental energy supply, and the likelihood of having a spiritual root was not great.


    ¡°If you have the chance in the future, come and find me in Northern Abyss City.¡±


    After saying this, Shi Pengyi, understanding the cue, took his leave.

 Chapter 1287 - Chapter 1287 Chapter 707 The Title of the Five Elements

    Chapter 1287: Chapter 707: The Title of the Five Elements Sect_2 Chapter 1287: Chapter 707: The Title of the Five Elements Sect_2 After finishing that matter, Chen Mobai waited at Golden Cliff for seven more days, ensuring that the Rank-4 Spirit Vein and the Mountain Protection Array were problem-free. During this period, he also discussed with Mo Douguang about the unification of the Eastern Desolation mundanes, which was beneficial for Golden Cliff since they disliked managing affairs.


    Since the medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine in Wind Country had been exhausted and Golden Cliff was not engaged in production, lacking Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields, they would not need to concern themselves with the mortals, and could focus solely on sword training in the future.


    Indeed, delegating various trivial matters to the Wood Vein was the right decision.


    Upon learning this, the sword cultivators of Golden Cliff all shared this thought.


    At this time, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing had already left Wind Country and were heading towards Wind Rain Hamlet.


    After receiving the Jade Pendant, Nu Jiang had no objection to the distribution of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit. In terms of fourth-grade spirit materials, he chose Geng Metal and half a bag of storage bag filled with Ren Water essence and clear water.


    Nu Jiang¡¯s lifespan artifact was a bow, which, relying on the mutual generation of metal and water, condensed water into arrows with boundless power, ideally suited for sniping demonic beasts weaker than him.


    Geng Metal could be used by Sheng Zhaoxi to upgrade his Angry Sea Bow, and this clear water enriched with Ren Water essence was even more suitable for condensing into water arrows.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai simply gave Nu Jiang the entire bag he had brought.


    Nu Jiang did not refuse, and heartily accepted it.


    ¡°Now that the Five Elements Meridians have reunited, should we start operating under the name of the Five Elements Sect?¡±


    When Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing came, being a gourmet, Nu Jiang prepared a table filled with unique seafood from Yun Meng Ze. After three rounds of drinks, he brought up the subject.


    Since the division, while the Five Elements Sect was still the largest sect in the Eastern Desolation, Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff were using their individual banners externally.


    Nu Jiang meant what he said, and naturally, Chen Mobai understood.


    ¡°Brother Zhou, what do you think?¡±


    Chen Mobai had considered this matter too. Although he had sentiments for Divine Wood Sect, using the name of the Five Elements Sect was definitely better.


    After all, during the era of Ancestor Hun Yuan, the Five Elements Sect was known as a Nascent Soul Major Faction, renowned even in the East Land.


    Divine Wood Sect was only prominent in the Eastern Desolation.


    Outside the Eastern Desolation, only the nearby Dongwu and East Barbarians knew of this sect, and other than those who paid special attention, other cultivators didn¡¯t even know how many Golden Core Cultivators Divine Wood Sect had.


    For example, when Nu Jiang went to Dongwu to interact with the Sun family, the name of the Five Elements Sect was far more prestigious than that of Divine Wood Sect.


    In the Tianhe Realm, a Nascent Soul Major Faction and a Golden Core Sect were like heaven and earth apart.


    Although Chen Mobai also had confidence in turning Divine Wood Sect into a Nascent Soul Major Faction, why waste time striving for it if he could directly inherit the name of the Five Elements Sect?


    However, Zhou Shengqing didn¡¯t mention this, so Chen Mobai felt it was not appropriate to bring it up.


    Now, taking the opportunity as Nu Jiang raised it, he asked.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s drop the name of Divine Wood Sect. Junior Brother Mo definitely won¡¯t mind, and from now on, we¡¯ll unify under the banner of the Five Elements Sect in all official documents.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing hesitated for a moment. After all, he had single-handedly established Divine Wood Sect, and if it evolved into a Nascent Soul Major Faction in the future, he would be its founder.


    With the Five Elements Sect, he would only be the second-generation ancestor.


    But after careful thought, Zhou Shengqing also felt that it was better to develop externally under the banner of the Five Elements Sect, and since he had emotional attachments to the Five Elements Sect and Nu Jiang had brought it up, he couldn¡¯t disregard the feelings of this supportive junior brother.


    After all, the main reason Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi easily switched sides was because they felt that after Dragon King Zhou Shengqing returned, he would still use the name of the Five Elements Sect, maintaining the close relationship as fellow sect members.


    The Tianhe Realm took transmission and heritage very seriously.


    Hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s agreement, Nu Jiang became even happier.


    That evening, the master of the Water Vein became greatly intoxicated.


    Due to some recent odd occurrences with the seal at Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, and the gradual increase in demonic beasts, Zhou Shengqing decided to stay and oversee the situation for a while.


    With his presence as a Nascent Soul, unless the Poisonous Dragon completely broke the seal and emerged, it was a situation without worries.


    Thus, Chen Mobai felt very relieved as he first returned to Northern Abyss City.


    Upon returning, for the first time in his capacity as Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, he dispatched the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation practitioners of the Five Elements Meridians to support Wind Rain Hamlet.


    In this, he made specific calls based on the strengths of the Five Elements Meridians.


    Their Wood Vein was the strongest, and thanks to the ample supply of Foundation Building Pills, their Foundation Establishment Practitioners had already broken through one hundred.


    Two years ago, it was the significant decade-long competition among sects, where twenty-four true transmission disciples were given Foundation Building Pills, and that year, four succeeded in Foundation Establishment.


    Last year and this year, although twelve people failed to break through with the Foundation Building Pills, three, including Song Huangdae, were successful.


    As of today, there are a total of one hundred and eight Foundation Establishment Practitioners registered in the Wood Vein.


    More than half of these practitioners are located in the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    As the supreme leader, Chen Mobai directly fixed the number of twenty Foundation Establishment Practitioners and five hundred Qi Practitioners, and ordered the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to allocate specific personnel.


    He only confirmed the leader of the team, Meng Hong.


    After all, Meng Hong had the power of Core Formation and knew the route to support the Wind Rain Hamlet like the back of his hand.


    The other veins, Earth Vein, Metal Vein, Fire Vein, had their strength reduced as they were not as strong as the Wood Vein.


    Each vein only needed to provide five Foundation Establishment Practitioners and a hundred Qi Practitioners.


    After finishing the summoning order, Chen Mobai asked E Yun to arrange for personnel to deliver it to the other three veins.


    Having completed this task, Chen Mobai planned to return to the Immortal Gate, review the materials, and see if there were any methods to artificially create a spiritual land with balanced Five Elements Spiritual Energy.


    However, Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er sought to meet with him urgently.


    Chen Mobai guessed the reason they came together.


    ¡°Sect Master, can I lead the team to support Wind Rain Hamlet this time?¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er knew that Chen Mobai favored efficiency, so she directly voiced her request.


    ¡°You want to earn contributions to exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, right?¡±


    When Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing left the Giant Tree Ridge to go to Golden Cliff and Wind Rain Hamlet, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, according to his wishes, listed the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Although this elixir appeared for the first time, all Foundation Establishment Practitioners who saw the detailed explanation attached by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion opened their eyes wide in disbelief.


    It was actually a Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine!


    Although it was rumored long ago that Sect Master Chen had obtained an unparalleled Elixir Scripture from the Longevity Sect, which contained a precious alchemy recipe that could increase the success rate of Core Formation.


    Sect Master Chen used this elixir for his successful Core Formation, creating his impressive achievements today.


    However, when the Golden Liquid Jade Pill was officially listed, it still drove all the practitioners from Wood Vein crazy.


    Upon hearing the news at the Giant Tree Ridge, Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin rushed to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, hoping to exchange for it.


    However, the Golden Liquid Jade Pill did not have a contributions value marked for exchange.


    The rotating Foundation Establishment Practitioner at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, facing the oppressive gazes of the two Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners from the sect, announced Chen Mobai¡¯s exchange rules with a wry smile.


    The pill would be open for exchange after being listed for one year.


    The top five contributors in the sect could have priority in exchange.


    The contributions for this elixir¡¯s exchange cannot be borrowed from others, and if discovered, the exchange qualification will be immediately canceled.


    These three simple rules made Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin both shocked and delighted.


    The delight came because they knew about this Golden Liquid Jade Pill and had taken on insane amounts of tasks over the years to accumulate sect contributions.


    Their worry, however, was about whether their own contributions were enough to rank in the top five.


    After all, within the Wood Vein, every Foundation Establishment Practitioner wanted this Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Zheng Deming had been guarding Yun Meng Ze for many years, slaying countless demonic beasts, with remarkable accomplishments, yet it was uncertain how many contributions he had.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yin Qingmei had struggled to plant trees in the Eastern Desolation Plateau over the years and made significant contributions to the sect leader¡¯s grand vision by executing tasks like Two Rivers management and desertification control.


    Yue Zutao had cultivated deeply within the sect for many years, and given his identity as a direct descendant of the sect leader, he might have secured countless benefits; his influence shouldn¡¯t be underestimated.


    There were also two Heterodox Golden Cores.


    As the former sect leader, Meng Hong¡¯s account had, perhaps besides a few old ancestors, the most contributions.


    As for Luo Xue¡¯er, it was reported that initially, in order to fight with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, the sect leader exceptionally bestowed her a Heterodox Golden Core, and she still owes contributions to this day.

 Chapter 1288 - Chapter 1288 Chapter 708 The Supreme Path to Core Formation

    Chapter 1288: Chapter 708: The Supreme Path to Core Formation Chapter 1288: Chapter 708: The Supreme Path to Core Formation Before Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, a rule in the Divine Wood Sect stipulated that every Golden Core Cultivator could receive five hundred thousand contribution points from the Reward Virtue Hall each year.


    For taking action on behalf of the Sect, each mission rewarded one hundred thousand contribution points.


    After Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, he felt that this was too great a burden on the Sect.


    But not everyone was capable of going against their own interests.


    Moreover, in the Tianhe Realm, the fundamental purpose of a sect was to serve the top-tier cultivators.


    It was not just about these contribution points; even if it was required to sell all the Sect¡¯s assets, the cultivators below could only obey and carry out the orders.


    Therefore, after much deliberation, Chen Mobai¡¯s new policies did not involve reforming this aspect.


    However, he did add a restriction.


    Only cultivators who had truly reached Core Formation were eligible for this benefit.


    After all, as the Sect¡¯s power continued to grow, it was certain that they could hunt more third-order demonic beasts in the future, and the number of cultivators who obtained the combat power of Golden Cores through heterodox means was set to increase.


    If there were no limits set, the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s yearly calculation of all the earnings might not even be enough to cover the payments.


    In this situation, the depletion of Wind Country¡¯s medium-sized spirit stone mine had led to Chen Mobai and his group losing a stable channel for obtaining superior quality spirit stones.


    Although the acquisition of the Five Elements Meridians meant that the medium-sized spirit stone mines in Ming Nation and Fire Country now belonged to the Five Elements Sect, from now on those veins would have to be divided among even more people, and after nearly a hundred years of mining, they could at most only last another decade or so before depletion.


    The only silver lining was that although the Five Elements Meridians were now unified,


    Each vein still maintained their respective Golden Core Cultivators.


    Chen Mobai did not need to consider Nu Jiang, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Zhou Ye, the three of them.


    But even so, it was necessary to increase income and decrease expenditure.


    Especially since Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had not yet been eliminated, and they had also identified a new opponent, the Sun Bathing Sea; when the time came to unify The Barren and expand outward, they were destined to face a major battle with the Nascent Soul powerhouses of the East Barbarians.


    And for war, it was essential to prepare spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s goal was to first amass a reserve of one hundred million spirit stones.


    After all, during the great war between Nascent Soul Major Factions, the number of mobilized Golden Cores was estimated to exceed ten, with Foundation Establishment Practitioners by the hundreds, and Qi Practitioners in the tens of thousands.


    Ten thousand cultivators could bring the power of the Alpha Wood Soldier to its peak.


    And the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, which made the Five Elements Sect famous in the Eastern Wilderness, represented the gathering of the five major Dao Soldiers from the Five Elements Meridians. If a Nascent Soul Cultivator who had cultivated into Chaotic Dao Fruit was stationed at the center, their strength would be so immense that sweeping the three nearby domains would certainly pose no issue.


    Ancestor Hunyuan, armed with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, once suppressed the Yellow Springs Path and defeated a fourth-order Poisonous Dragon, driving it to flee back to the heart of Cloud Dream Ze, establishing an illustrious reputation and being called the Peak.


    But even that was not the peak of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, because at that time the entire Five Elements Sect barely had nearly twenty thousand Qi Practitioners.


    To bring the Five Elements Dao Soldiers to their pinnacle, what was needed was five ten thousand cultivators formations!


    The achievement Ancestor Hunyuan had not reached, Chen Mobai felt he could achieve.


    To mobilize the Five Elements Dao Soldiers at the five ten thousand cultivators formation level, Chen Mobai estimated that a reserve of one hundred million spirit stones was necessary.


    Therefore, ever since he became the Sect Leader, he had been persistently increasing income and reducing expenses.


    Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er both dared not say much about this, because even Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai¡¯s own disciple, was not given the treatment of an official Golden Core Cultivator, making no exceptions.


    They could only double their efforts in the hope that one day they could become true Golden Core Cultivators.


    Compared to Xie Yuntian and others, at least they had already refined heterodox Golden Cores, so their chances of successful Core Formation were naturally higher.


    If they had the Liquid Gold Jade Pill, then the success rate would be close to forty or fifty percent.


    That¡¯s why, upon knowing that the elixirs had gone on sale, Luo Xue¡¯er immediately began searching for missions that would allow her to quickly amass a large amount of contribution points in a short period.


    Meng Hong had previously exchanged for a heterodox Golden Core, spending three hundred thousand of the Sect¡¯s contribution points, but he had substantial reserves.


    Having been stationed in Wind Rain Hamlet for nearly ten years, leading the disciples of the Wood Vein to combat demonic beasts and quell beast tides, he was rewarded with two hundred thousand Sect contribution points by the clear-cut Chen Mobai.


    He now had over four hundred thousand in his account, making the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill almost a sure thing.


    Thus, when Luo Xue¡¯er came seeking help, Meng Hong thought it over and agreed.


    After all, the exchange deadline set by Chen Mobai was by the end of the next year.


    Guarding Wind Rain Hamlet for one more year would at most yield twenty thousand contribution points.


    ¡°If you want to go, that¡¯s fine, but you only recently paid off the three hundred thousand contributions for the heterodox Golden Core. It would be better to wait until the next time,¡±


    Since Luo Xue¡¯er was volunteering, and Meng Hong had no objections, Chen Mobai had no reason to refuse, but he still spoke up to remind her.


    After all, he had made an exception last time by advancing the heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue¡¯er in preparation for the expected arrival of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s army.


    Lucky breaks couldn¡¯t keep coming her way, as it would be unfair to the remaining Foundation Establishment Practitioners.

    In his dealings, especially with subordinates, Chen Mobai was at least outwardly committed to being fair and just.


    Since Luo Xue¡¯er had received the heterodox Golden Core, she should not get involved with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill this time.


    However, he had underestimated the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm¡¯s desire for Core Formation, and despite this, Luo Xue¡¯er was still prepared to utilize her power at Core Formation to earn as many Sect contribution points as possible within a year.


    After Meng Hong and Luo Xue¡¯er left,


    Chen Mobai suddenly became a little worried about Yin Qingmei¡¯s lack of Sect contribution points.


    Because he realized that he had somewhat underestimated the others¡¯ craving for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.

 Chapter 1289 - Chapter 1289 Chapter 708 The Highest-Quality Path to Core

    Chapter 1289: Chapter 708: The Highest-Quality Path to Core Formation_2 Chapter 1289: Chapter 708: The Highest-Quality Path to Core Formation_2 ¡°`


    To ensure that his goddaughter was among the top five contributors, he set aside his current tasks and made a special trip to Rainbow Country.


    On his way, he inspected the Dark Water that was being opened up. Luo Yixuan was serious when it came to her tasks and was quite reliable. Coupled with the experienced hands who had previously opened Mohe Baijiang, as well as the support from the major cultivator families seeking profit, everything was progressing according to schedule.


    Seeing Chen Mobai arrive, Luo Yixuan was also very happy.


    The master and disciple walked along the newly opened river channel. Chen Mobai offered some suggestions for improvement, which Luo Yixuan dutifully noted down in her notebook.


    They then discussed the matter of Core Formation.


    ¡°As your master, I have a Water Spirit Fruit. If you are preparing for Core Formation, you can come to me for it. However, this item is precious; it¡¯s best not to use it if you don¡¯t have to.¡±


    The main reason for Chen Mobai¡¯s visit to Luo Yixuan was for this very matter.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Luo Yixuan obediently nodded her head after hearing this.


    Since her physical body and spiritual power were already at the Golden Core Realm, as long as her Divine Sense completed its transformation, she could easily overcome the bottleneck of this major realm.


    Thus, the Water Spirit Fruit would merely serve as a safety net for her.


    Core Formation was almost a certainty for her.


    The only concern was the Heavenly Tribulation.


    After visiting Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai went to Liu Jia Mountain.


    As soon as he appeared above the territory of Liu Jia Mountain, two beams of Spiritual Light flew towards him from different directions.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    The Spiritual Light dissipated to reveal the graceful figures of two young women, one on each side.


    One wore an earth-colored dress with a round face and yellow skin; the other had picturesque brows and fair skin.


    It was Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei.


    Zhuo Ming had already communed with the land and was busy in the spirit fields. Sensing Chen Mobai¡¯s vast and unrestrained aura, she immediately stopped her work and came over.


    Yin Qingmei, who was in the midst of cultivating the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and was in communion with the Biyu Wutong, woke up when the tree, now the core of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s Spirit Vein, could not resist trembling at the energy contained within Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator.


    She immediately ended her cultivation and came to greet him as soon as possible.


    ¡°I just came to have a look¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and gestured for them to rise, then landed on the freshly plowed hundred acres of Rank-3 spirit fields below.


    These fields were about to be sown with Dari Purple Rice seeds acquired from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    Having Zhuo Ming in control, Chen Mobai was very reassured, but as the son of a farmer, he couldn¡¯t help but go into the field.


    ¡°Qingmei, are you aware of the Golden Liquid Jade Pills for sale at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion?¡±


    The three of them walked across the spirit field as Chen Mobai brought up one of the reasons for his visit.


    ¡°I was just about to ask the Sect Leader for guidance. I have three hundred and ten thousand contribution points in my account; I¡¯m not sure if that¡¯s enough to rank in the top five.¡±


    Yin Qingmei had plans to leave and help Luo Yixuan open up the Dark Water if Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t come.


    Previously, from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, she obtained the Heavenly Wood God Needle, which was very useful to Zhou Shengqing, so Chen Mobai rewarded her with one hundred thousand contribution points.


    After cultivating the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, she followed Zhuo Ming to the Eastern Desolation Plateau using the Technique of Forced Growth to help plant trees, reinforce riverbanks, promote the growth of spirit plants, and so on for a full sixteen years.


    Chen Mobai had given her ten thousand contribution points every year.


    Along with her nearly thirty years of savings from her time at Giant Tree Ridge, and because she hardly consumed any elixirs due to her Heavenly Spiritual Root, she had accumulated a total of three hundred and ten thousand.


    ¡°With that amount, you¡¯re definitely in.¡±


    When Chen Mobai initially encouraged the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment practitioners to come to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, he offered high contribution points.


    As for Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin, they mainly took on tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, which were geared towards Foundation Establishment practitioners, and the most they could earn was just a few thousand contribution points.


    Most earned only a hundred or so; some even less than one hundred.


    ¡°`


    Moreover, these two individuals were influential figures within the sect and had never belittled themselves by accepting tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion before.


    Now, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimates, they had at most two hundred thousand contribution points.


    The only one difficult to estimate was Zheng Deming.


    Since joining the sect, he had been in Yun Meng Ze, slaying thousands of demonic beasts.


    However, it was said that he used most of his contributions to exchange for elixir pills and other necessities for his cultivation practice, so he probably didn¡¯t save much. Plus, as a loose cultivator, he had no connections within the sect and learned about the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills much later than others.


    ¡°Master, with your status, you could easily check the contribution account balances at the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming suggested a method.


    After my new policy was implemented, one of the rules was that unless it concerned the safety of the sect, no one was allowed to check the account privacy of the disciples.


    Chen Mobai educated Zhuo Ming with a serious face. Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm had an extreme lack of security, so when this new policy was announced, it was met with praise.


    However, the disciples below had no means to monitor whether the high-level cultivators above them were abiding by this rule; it all relied on their conscience.


    Chen Mobai always led by example. This was why Yue Zutao, who was in charge of the Reward Virtue Hall and one of the people responsible for exchanging the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, didn¡¯t dare to check the accounts of his competitors.


    Since the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills were listed, Yue Zutao rarely started accepting tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion as well.


    ¡°To ensure that you can exchange, you¡¯ll go to Dark Water this year to help Xuan open up a river channel.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and added. Upon hearing this, Yin Qingmei nodded repeatedly; this had been her idea as well.


    Although it was only ten thousand contribution points a year, every eligible person within the sect was trying to earn contributions in every possible way, in case they fell short by a few dozen or hundred points by the time of exchange.


    After arranging these matters, Chen Mobai took out a branch from the Five Elements Spirit Tree from his storage bag.


    ¡°Master, this is¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming took it with some surprise, skillfully began to communicate with it through the All Things Spiritual Communication divine skill. This branch only had a very weak spirit, capable only of a primal hunger thought.


    It was merely lacking the nourishment of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy. The five spirit flowers on it were gradually withering despite being sealed with a secret technique.


    ¡°This is a Five Elements Spirit Flower¡­¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, both women¡¯s eyes lit up.


    They were aware of the reputation of the Five Elements Spirit Tree.


    They never imagined that such a spirit tree could be found within the Earth Vein.


    ¡°Master, although I can communicate with the All Things Spiritual Communication, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be impossible to grow it without a Five Elements Spiritual Land.¡±


    Knowing how precious the jade-like branch she held was, Zhuo Ming also looked worried.


    Afraid that it would die in her care.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation was an ability to manipulate earth qi, and the other four types of spiritual qi could only follow their natural course.


    ¡°I will find a way for a spiritual land with a balanced Five Elements Spiritual Energy. I have come today for another matter as well¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he handed Zhuo Ming a jade slip, a copy of something he obtained from the Heavenly Calculation Bead, from True Lord Yuan¡¯s Altar of State, related to the Essence of the Earth Dao relevant to the Mother Earth Cultivation.


    He selected parts Zhuo Ming was able to understand and interpret at her current stage and inscribed them into the jade slip.


    ¡°Many thanks, Master!¡±


    After briefly checking the jade slip with her divine sense, Zhuo Ming, with a face full of joy, bowed and thanked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°In my possession, I have a mature Earth Spirit Fruit, a perfect match for your attribute, reserved for you.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who had been enviously listening to the conversation about Yin Qingmei exchanging for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, heard the good news from Chen Mobai after the transmission of the jade slip.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Master¡¯s grace is profound¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s round face turned red with excitement, but before she could finish, Chen Mobai interrupted with the second half of his statement.


    ¡°However, as my disciple, I hope you will not use Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    ¡°The great merit of changing heaven and earth, you have already completed half of it. Comprehension Path Golden Core is what I expect from you.¡±


    ¡°This is also the highest-quality Golden Core path I have arranged for you.¡±

 Chapter 1290 - Chapter 1290 Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil

    Chapter 1290: Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil Chapter 1290: Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil Before leaving Rainbow Country, Chen Mobai took another look at the Golden Sun Spirit Tree that had been transplanted.


    With Zhuo Ming there, the Spirit Tree did not suffer any discomfort in its transfer from Giant Tree Ridge to Liu Jia Mountain, and it even grew more robust thanks to the Everlife Soil.


    ¡°Master, once the Everlife Soil is upgraded to Fourth Order, we can try using the Technique of Forced Growth to level up the Golden Sun Spirit Tree.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was deeply invested in this matter, as her Mother Earth Cultivation could only produce Third-Order Spirit Soil. If successful this time, it would then be possible to extend the breakthrough point and explore a comprehensive method for upgrading to Fourth-Order Spirit Soil.


    Chen Mobai was very supportive of this, although he knew it would undoubtedly be difficult, for the gap between Fourth and Third Order was immense.


    As he departed from Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai brought Yin Qingmei with him along the way and dropped her off with Luo Yixuan.


    ¡­


    Immortal Gate.


    Now as one of the poster figures of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai easily obtained the contact information of Jin Shanshi, the head of the Spiritual Plant Department, and consulted him on how to precisely control the ratio of Five Element Spiritual Energy within the soil.


    As a Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Master, Jin Shanshi¡¯s professional level far surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations, quickly suggesting several solutions.


    ¡°Little Chen, are you preparing to develop and build your own Domain?¡±


    Having watched Chen Mobai grow step by step, Jin Shanshi naturally associated his inquiry with the Void Domain, considering Chen Mobai¡¯s Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Indeed, my Domain turned out quite large since I developed it during the Foundation Establishment stage. I plan to transplant more Spirit Plants into it, but I¡¯m concerned about the potential conflicts between different plants. That¡¯s why I¡¯d like to consult with an expert like you on this crucial soil issue.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately followed Jin Shanshi¡¯s line of thought in his response.


    The ability to practice the Void Domain within the Immortal Gate only begins after reaching the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core realm.


    However, for geniuses, mastering it ahead of time is a standard expectation.


    There are many types of Domains, including those for combat, production, research, storage, and so on.


    For instance, during the combined battle against the Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, Lan Haitian¡¯s Yuan Magnet Domain was specifically for combat, which had greatly impressed Chen Mobai at the time.


    Based on his persona of Deity Form, he certainly couldn¡¯t be worse off than Lan Haitian.


    However, Chen Mobai had been too busy with other matters before and, after inquiring, found it very complicated and time-consuming. The Pure Yang Scroll and Pure Yang Daoist Body already took up most of his time, so he hadn¡¯t had the chance to specialize in this area.


    Now that the Five Elements Meridians were unified and the situation in Eastern Wilderness was settled, with Zhou Shengqing and his group in the Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, no further disturbances could arise. Chen Mobai decided it was a good opportunity to focus on his studies at the Immortal Gate.


    Whether to develop the Domain further was secondary; after all, it was not only time-consuming and strenuous but also required a significant number of Good Deed Points to purchase Void Spiritual Energy Packages. Chen Mobai had always treated his Domain like a vast Storage Bag.


    His plan was to wait until Nascent Soul Formation and then directly move the Fourth Order Superior Quality Biyu Wutong from Red Sandstone City into it in one fell swoop.


    Thus, Chen Mobai intended to bypass the Void Domain, focusing first on Array Refining into Body, that is, to master a version of Void Walking akin to the Underworld Array.


    It was entirely reasonable for Lan Haitian to have refined the Void Domain during the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage and for Chen Mobai to discern and ¡°improve¡± the exclusive Nascent Soul Superior¡¯s Void Walking while in the Golden Core realm.


    After all, with his Qualification of Deification, he had to surpass Lan Haitian by a margin.


    After an in-depth phone conversation with Jin Shanshi, Chen Mobai had a clear idea and framework for constructing the Five Element Spirit Soil.


    After hanging up, Jin Shanshi sent a series of links to papers and names of over a dozen books related to the field.


    The key information on constructing Spirit Soil and Spiritual Land was essentially all there.


    With his current learning ability, even without the need for Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai could easily master this knowledge. He genuinely had talent in the realm of Spiritual Plants.


    It¡¯s just a pity that while knowledge was easily accessible within the Immortal Gate, turning it into practical realization was incredibly challenging.


    Creating a Spiritual Land from scratch was an even more onerous task.


    Taking the Five Elements Spiritual Land as an example, it required a balance of Five Element Spiritual Energy, which primarily had to be applied for and purchased from the Immortal Gate.


    As a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall, Chen Mobai had privileges. He had access to all orders of Earth and Fire Spiritual Energy, including the Fourth Order Fire spiritual power.

    Most cultivators practiced above a Spirit Vein, but often they had to leave for other duties.


    At such times, they would need to use the Void Spiritual Energy Package.


    Once purchased, this would allow them to absorb spiritual energy from the package anywhere within the boundaries of the Heavenly Curtain, without delaying their cultivation and Technique operation.


    Since all spiritual energy within the Immortal Gate was now government-owned, the outlying rural areas only had the very basic nature¡¯s spiritual energy, insufficient for Golden Core Cultivators.


    Consequently, should a Golden Core Cultivator wish to practice or demonstrate a Technique while traveling, they would inevitably need to connect to the Heavenly Curtain to activate their Void Spiritual Energy Package and draw in spiritual energy.

 Chapter 1291 - Chapter 1291 Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil_2

    Chapter 1291: Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil_2 Chapter 1291: Chapter 709 Five Elements Spirit Soil_2 Chen Mobai, because he had Spirit Stones, only ever purchased the most basic Spiritual Energy package each year.


    And he hardly ever left home, spending most of his time cultivating on Danxia Mountain. The fourth order Fire Spiritual Vein here was provided each year by Xianmen for free for him to use as a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor.


    Even though Xianmen was short of resources, it could basically ensure the supply of cultivation Spiritual Energy for the higher-ranking cultivators.


    This fourth-order Fire Vein in Red Sandstone City would downgrade to third-order if Chen Mobai were not present to oversee it, after Shi Qing and Yu Tianguang had left. Aside from maintaining the basic inhaling and exhaling functions of the Biyu Wutong tree, the rest would be downgraded because the two institutions, Red Mist Crimson Bead, only needed this level of Spirit Vein.


    Having him, a Golden Core Master, present allowed the teachers and some students who were a focus of cultivation from both academies to occasionally leech off the lower grade fourth-order Spiritual Qi from the Cave Dwellings halfway up the mountain.


    It was for this reason that cities among the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands of Xianmen all hoped to have a Golden Core Master in residence.


    The Golden Core Domain would continuously move with the cultivators, so if one wanted to develop beyond the basic storage functions, they would need to purchase an expensive Void Spiritual Energy Package. The better the development, the more Spiritual Energy was needed, and the more Good Deed Points had to be paid each year.


    For instance, Chen Mobai had once consulted Lan Haitian about his Yuan Magnet Domain because the latter was now the strongest force in the Sky-Mending Group. Therefore, his Void Spiritual Energy Package was top-ranked, drawing power not only from the Five Element Spiritual Energies but also the Power of Bipolar Magnetism, at a cost of two billion Good Deed Points each year.


    This price left Chen Mobai speechless. However, this was how Xianmen charged for Spiritual Energy¨Cthe lower the level, the cheaper it was, aimed at being affordable for the majority.


    However, if one wanted high-level services, they needed not only Good Deed Points but also the corresponding status and permissions to unlock.


    For example, the Power of Bipolar Magnetism, something Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t even know existed if Lan Haitian hadn¡¯t mentioned it¨Ca special kind of Void Elemental Energy Package.


    But since Lan Haitian served Xianmen, he could claim these substantial expenses every year from the Hall of Orthodox Law.


    There were other examples, though.


    For instance, owning an Exotic Treasure that contained vast amounts of Spiritual Qi, equivalent to an entire Spirit Vein, and placing it within one¡¯s Domain meant no need for a Void Spiritual Energy Package as the internal source was self-sufficient.


    Even a Nascent Soul Superior might not have such a treasure.


    But each of the Four Great Daost Academies did have this kind of foundation.


    Take for example Chen Mobai¡¯s friend, Wen Ren Xuewei. She could divert a tiny amount of the vast Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Great Chun tree into her Domain¡¯s tea garden.


    And for the Great Chun Tree, this amount of Spiritual Qi was just a drop in the bucket, so it remained indifferent to the Lasting Spring Cultivation masters doing this throughout the ages.


    Then, there was their Dance Tool Academy, which had in the depths of the Treasure Trove a Red Lotus formed from the essence of fire sources. Placed within the Domain, it could exude a lower grade fourth-order Fire Spiritual Vein.


    However, this was only allowed for the dean of the academy, and one had to be in the Nascent Soul Realm to get permission from Xianmen to refine and place it in the Domain.


    After some inquiries, Chen Mobai abandoned the idea of using Xianmen¡¯s resources to develop his own Domain.


    However, after charging the Supreme-grade Spirit Stones to full, he placed the two he had in his Domain. One of them was intended to cultivate into a fourth-grade Spirit Vein within the Domain, and that process was now underway.


    The key to the Five Elements Spirit Soil was to follow the way Xianmen created man-made Spirit Veins.


    After reading all the books and papers provided by Jin Shanshi, Chen Mobai chose the simplest method to try.


    He purchased five rank-1 Void Elemental Energy Packages.


    Soon, seated on the mountaintop of Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense left his body and after a special frequency check, he synchronized with the Sky-covering Formation high above.


    Then, five openings suddenly broke open in the void above his head, and the pure but slender Five Element Spiritual Energies overflowed from these openings.


    This was after verification that the Sky-covering Formation had gathered first-order Five Element Spiritual Energies from the nearby Spirit Vein network of the Earth Network.


    Chen Mobai could feel that the Fire Spirit Qi was being drawn from his own Danxia Mountain Spirit Vein, and the other four Elements must have also been diverted from the nearest location.


    This was the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network of Xianmen.


    Complete control over all the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth of Di Yuan Star.


    Now wasn¡¯t the time to marvel at this, Chen Mobai used his newly acquired knowledge to pour this Five Element Spiritual Energy into the prepared Inorganic Soil.


    Inorganic soil is the most common type of soil found within the Immortal Gate sects, containing no spiritual energy and being the easiest to transform and cultivate.


    As long as the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is injected evenly and then sealed with a special cultivation technique, after waiting for a period of time, it will become the Five Elements Spiritual Land that Chen Mobai requires.


    The technical key here lies in how to ensure that the amount of spiritual energy injected is exactly the same, without the slightest deviation.


    Although Chen Mobai felt that the Five Elements Spirit Tree probably wouldn¡¯t be so sensitive, and a slight difference shouldn¡¯t matter, he did have a very simple method to achieve this.


    Since the five Void Spiritual Energy Packages that Chen Mobai purchased were all of the same price, as soon as they were depleted, the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network immediately recognized that he was overdue in payments and closed the connection.


    Spiritual energy is the foundation of countless cultivators within the Immortal Gate, so the Void Spiritual Energy Packages provided wouldn¡¯t include even an extra thread of energy.


    Of course, they wouldn¡¯t have one less thread either.


    After all, concerning the lives of billions, whether it¡¯s one thread more or one less, when multiplied by a billion, those are shockingly vast numbers.


    Chen Mobai used the Immortal Gate¡¯s Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network to precisely control the balanced usage of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy.


    Seven days later.


    He released the sealed inorganic soil and checked the spiritual energy content within the soil with a ¡°Soil-Testing Instrument,¡± which had similar properties to the Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    Many spirit plants within the Immortal Gate are particularly sensitive to spiritual energy, so the precision of this Soil-Testing Instrument is quite good.


    Chen Mobai inserted it into the soil for a while, then pulled it out to look, and the percentages on the screen¨C18%, 19%, 20%, 21%¨Cmade his brows furrow slightly.


    The Five Elements Spiritual Energy that had been injected was even, so why wasn¡¯t the result successful?


    Chen Mobai felt inclined to go ask Jin Shanshi again, but thinking that as someone with the Qualification of Deification, he couldn¡¯t solve such a small problem on the first try, that would damage his own reputation.


    So, he decided to ask a different professional.


    He resolved inwardly to only ask each professional once.


    This time, he asked his good friend, Wen Ren Xuewei.


    As a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root, and also the first teacher of spirit plant cultivation at Jumang Academy, she had indeed diligently studied the related soil specialties for quite some time to improve her own Earth Spirit Root.


    Chen Mobai really asked the right person.


    ¡°To ensure the spiritual energy content while cultivating Spirit Soil, it¡¯s best done in a specialized laboratory devoid of spiritual energy interference. Attempting this on Danxia Mountain introduces Fire Spiritual Energy into the mixture. When Fire Spiritual Energy is present in excess, it will correspondingly weaken Gold Spiritual Qi and increase Earth Spiritual Qi, triggering a series of changes according to the generation and inhibition of the Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°So, when cultivating Spirit Soil with the Five Elements properties, in addition to affirming the amount of spiritual energy injected, you also need to use a technique to isolate the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, allowing them to quietly and naturally react and merge with the inorganic soil.¡±


    ¡°After the merging is complete and the spiritual energy content is confirmed to meet the requirements, you can plant the spirit plants. This step is critical and is also a test of the Spirit Plant Master¡¯s skill. As long as the plants take root, the following processes need not be so detailed, because once the spirit plants have survived, they will automatically adjust any discrepancies, just like humans, who only eat what they can digest.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, spirit plants also have the ability to improve the nearby soil and air environment, adapting it to their own growth needs. You just need to infuse the Spirit Soil with the Five Elements Spiritual Energy periodically as required, and they will absorb and refine it according to their own level.¡±


    ¡°Of course, your attention to this aspect should not be too excessive; the general ratio of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy supplied still cannot be too far off.¡±


    After listening to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai had an epiphany and felt that he understood completely.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Truly worthy of being a teacher at the number one spirit plant academy of the Immortal Gate, and the future headmaster of the Jumang Academy¨Cher level indeed seemed a cut above their Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai sincerely thanked her, then promptly hung up the phone and tried what Wen Ren Xuewei had suggested.


    The Red Dawn Institution happened to have a laboratory without spiritual energy, although it was only of Rank-2 quality.


    But for Chen Mobai, that was sufficient. After all, the branch of the Five Elements Spirit Tree only needed Rank-1 Spirit Soil to be planted, so Rank-2 was already above standard.


    As for whether it could survive after being planted, the most crucial step,


    Chen Mobai expressed full confidence in Zhuo Ming.

 Chapter 1292 - Chapter 1292 Chapter 710 Improved Version of the Underworld

    Chapter 1292: Chapter 710: Improved Version of the Underworld Array Chapter 1292: Chapter 710: Improved Version of the Underworld Array Following the guidance of Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai easily cultivated the Rank-2 Five Elements Spirit Soil after several attempts.


    Afterward, he filled a basin with the Five Elements Spirit Soil and returned to the Tianhe Realm, bringing it to Rainbow Country.


    Zhuo Ming carefully planted a branch of the Five Elements Spirit Tree, and after half a month of meticulous care from both teacher and disciple, the jade branch finally emitted a growth aura and sprouted its first roots within the soil.


    Following this step, everything else became rather simple.


    All that was needed was sufficient Five Elements Spirit Soil. Once the tree was fully rooted and sprouted, it would absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Energy and flower into fruits.


    However, to complete this step, at least a hundred years were required.


    Even if the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was used to speed up the process, Rank-4 or higher Five Elements Spirit Soil was needed, along with a vast supply of Five Elements Spiritual Energy.


    As for these, Chen Mobai took note of them, planning to implement them one by one later.


    After all, whether it was the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations or Five Elements Spirit Soil, the technology obtained from the Immortal Gate was very mature; the only step left was to implement them in Tianhe Realm.


    As for resources like Spiritual Energy, they were even easier to obtain.


    After all, Tianhe Realm was abundant in resources, especially items like Golden Crystal and Life Stone, which are essences of the Five Elements.


    Once the branches of the Five Elements Spirit Tree had sprouted roots, Chen Mobai was reassured. He instructed Zhuo Ming to take good care of it while he returned to Immortal Gate.


    In the lab at Red Dawn Institution, he continued to cultivate a sufficient amount of Five Elements Spirit Soil based on his successful experience.


    Although the Five Elements Spirit Tree branch was currently just a potted plant, it was bound to grow into a towering tree, so Chen Mobai decided to prepare enough Five Elements Spirit Soil in advance.


    Fortunately, once the Five Elements Spiritual Energy was infused into the Inorganic Soil, he only needed to check on it occasionally, otherwise, Chen Mobai really wouldn¡¯t have had the time.


    At the summit of Danxia Mountain.


    Under a towering Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and looked at the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in his hands, showing a satisfied smile.


    The cultivation speed had indeed increased after using the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone with his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    And it wasn¡¯t just a slight increase but a significant boost of five to six times.


    What he had initially estimated to take about ten years to achieve a perfected state of the body of eight Yangs, now could be accomplished in less than two years.


    It just so happened that his cultivation level of the Jindan Sixth Layer would reach its peak by next year. Adding on the time to cleanse his essence, Qi, spirit, and neutralize any risks from Dan Poison using the Flame Lighting Technique, it aligned perfectly without delaying his breakthrough to the later stages of the Gold Core.


    After completing his daily basic cultivation practices, Chen Mobai put back the almost unspent Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.


    He then took out a silver-white Array Plate with a corner missing.


    This was something he had obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge previously, and it was part of the core of the Underworld Array.


    Chen Mobai had already consulted Elder Ming about this formation, but it turned out not to be a Heavenly Sovereign Technique, it was a technique of the Netherworld¡¯s Ghost Mother.


    Before the Heavenly Sovereign ventured into the Netherworld, the supreme ruler of the Underworld was known as Ghost Mother, a Great Divine Power Wielder.


    The Ghost Mother and Water Mother jointly oversaw the Underworld and the Living World respectively, the former regarding the Underworld as her residence, thus in the ancient times, the Underworld was also known as Netherworld Mansion.


    As the lord of the Netherworld Mansion, Ghost Mother was inherently immensely powerful in her divine skills, yet she still sought to further her power, to control life and death, to Refine the Void and Merge the Paths.


    Therefore, she wanted to expand the Netherworld Mansion to eventually engulf the entire Living World!


    But in comparison to the Mother of Water, Ghost Mother¡¯s divine capabilities were still slightly inferior. After the great battle, she was defeated and perished, and since then, the Netherworld Mansion had no ruler.


    The Underworld Array was originally developed by Ghost Mother to expand the Underworld by transforming her divine powers.


    Because as the lord of the Netherworld Mansion, Ghost Mother could teleport to any part of the Underworld at will. If she could expand the Netherworld Mansion to cover the entire Tianhe Realm, then all of the Nine Heavens and Ten Worlds would be within her domain.


    After Ghost Mother¡¯s demise, the Netherworld Mansion was breached by the Mother of Water, releasing many unique treasures of extreme Yin, including various Ghost Cultivator divine skills.


    Among the eighteen sects of the Demon Sect, the Spirit Capturing Demon Sect originated from a junior cultivator who had been entrusted with the remnant soul of Ghost Mother in Bone Jade.


    He was misled by the Bone Jade acting under the remnant soul of Ghost Mother, practicing ghost techniques in the form of a human, wandering endlessly between the Underworld and Living World, gathering the scattered divine soul of Ghost Mother that had been shattered by the Mother of Water.


    Generation after generation passed on the teachings until the ancient times, when the Summoning Souls and Capturing Spirits Large Array was completed, gathering parts of Ghost Mother¡¯s True Spirit scattered across Bi Luo and Huangquan, causing the lord of the Netherworld Mansion to descend once again into Tianhe Realm.


    Fortunately, at that time, the Eastern Emperor Court of the East Land was at its peak.

    The Human Emperor, leading the Hall of Ten Directions with the aid of the Holy Land, defeated the combined forces of the Demon Sect, dismantled the Capturing Spirits Large Array, and scattered Ghost Mother¡¯s True Spirit again, suppressing this great calamity with overwhelming power.


    However, after this catastrophe, the Human Emperor had to ascend, leading the Eastern Emperor Court from prosperity to decline, laying the groundwork for its eventual disintegration.


    Following the calamity of Ghost Mother, as the instigator, the Spirit Capturing Demon Sect was naturally annihilated by the Eastern Emperor Court and the Righteous Path factions, at that time, any text related to Ghost Cultivation in the East Land had to be completely eradicated.


    Should it be discovered that anyone, even a disciple from a Holy Land, was secretly harboring such texts, they would be brutally executed.


    Once, a Taoist Child from a Holy Land, out of curiosity to study the difference between ghost techniques and the laws of the Living World, secretly kept a copy of the Ghost Mother Scripture. This was discovered by a jealous junior and reported.

 Chapter 1293 - Chapter 1293 Chapter 710 Upgraded Version of the Underworld

    Chapter 1293: Chapter 710 Upgraded Version of the Underworld Array_2 Chapter 1293: Chapter 710 Upgraded Version of the Underworld Array_2 On that day, the Eastern Emperor Court dispatched the Hall of Ten Directions to demand the handover of a person by force.


    The God-Transcending True Monarch of that Holy Land was furious, but for the sake of inheritance, he did not dare challenge the Eastern Emperor Court of that time. He had intended to draw his sword in front of everyone and sever that direct descendant Taoist Child.


    However, at that time, the Eastern Emperor Court wanted to set an example and further suppress all the major Holy Lands, so the imperial envoy stopped the God-Transcending True Monarch, insisting on escorting the Saint Land Taoist Child back to the capital to announce to all the major Immortal Cultivation sects before beheading him publicly!


    Faced with the most powerful force in the entire East Land, this Taoist Child had no room for resistance.


    However, before he was beheaded, he left his insights into the Ghost Mother Scripture and the Holy Land¡¯s Great Method within a hidden layer of the prison cell¡¯s floor tiles.


    Ten years later, a prince who had committed a grave crime was also thrown into this Sky Prison.


    He found this inheritance and was allowed to leave the Sky Prison after giving up his claim to the throne and having his cultivation level abolished.


    This deposed prince became the founder of the Tongyou Demon Sect, one of the eighteen sects of the demon path, merging the Ghost Mother Scripture with the Holy Land Great Method to create the Netherworld Scripture.


    Four hundred years ago, Ming Zun of the Tongyou Demon Sect cultivated the Netherworld Scripture to the peak of perfection, Ascended to become an Immortal, and almost single-handedly broke through the Eastern Wilderness.


    This Underworld Array is also considered a signature technique of the Tongyou Demon Sect and the Spirit Capturing Demon Sect, belonging to the Great Methods of the Demon Path.


    The trick lies within the range covered by the Large Formation; as long as the body can withstand it, the Array Master can move freely within it.


    It¡¯s like the authority of the Ghost Mother in the Underworld, recreated in the Mortal Realm through the form of an array.


    Though there are many limitations and the range is fixed, once the Array is set up, it¡¯s akin to possessing a domain that allows for instantaneous movement at will, standing on an invincible footing.


    Opponents of the same realm or lower who enter can only be slaughtered by the Array Master, unable to even escape. Even if faced with an opponent one realm higher, the Array Master can easily dodge and escape using the Instantaneous Technique.


    Compared to the Underworld Array, Void Walking comes without these restrictions.


    Once mastered, at the mere thought, one can move to any desired location, and the speed and range of Teleportation depend on the cultivator¡¯s own realm.


    For instance, Ren Xuewei, with the aid of the Great Chun Tree, can even use Great Void Transference, which in theory, only God-Transcending cultivators can activate, reaching most domains of the Immortal Gates in an instant.


    Of course, there are also Restriction Arrays specifically designed against Teleportation. In these places, Void Walk is ineffective.


    Another similar technique is the Void Law Body.


    This is more domineering.


    It involves breaking through space directly with the physical body, and compared to the finesse of Void Walking, it is simply brute force like a forceful brick through a wall.


    For the same distance of instantaneous movement, if Void Walking only requires a thread of Pure Yang Spiritual Power, then the Void Law Body would require ten times as much.


    Moreover, the Void Law Body demands a much higher standard for the physical body, while Void Walking, since it¡¯s activating through the omnipresent Power of Space between heaven and earth, doesn¡¯t need any special Body Refining Technique.


    In order to traverse the True Void, the physical body of a Void Law Body practitioner needs to be exceptionally strong, which is why it¡¯s known as the strongest Body Refining Technique in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Of course, the Void Law Body is not without its uses.


    Compared to Void Walking, since it forcefully traverses through space with the body, it can ignore restrictions and, given enough strength, even step into the deepest parts of the Underworld mentioned in legends.


    Chen Mobai too spent much time pondering over these three techniques.


    Naturally, the best is Void Walking, but this requires incredibly high Divine Sense and Spiritual Power, needing at least the Nascent Soul Realm, or a special body like the Void Spirit Body or affinity with Space Power, and an exceptional innate talent for enlightenment.


    The one with the highest potential is the Void Law Body, but aside from that potential, it is of no use.


    The Underworld Array, on the other hand, is notable for its low threshold. Even a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, once the Large Formation is set up and the Array Refining into Body is completed, can achieve instantaneous movement within a specified domain. The downside is that it cannot move, has a low limit, and as a Demon Path Formation, it carries hidden dangers.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, there is a Holy Land that specifically targets the Demon Path.


    But after Chen Mobai carefully studied the Underworld Array, he found that he could completely alter it, even integrating parts of the features of Immortal Gate¡¯s Void Walking and Void Law Body, erasing all traces of the Demon Path.


    With his insights and talents, it was, of course, impossible to combine all three and discard the dregs to create a new Instantaneous Technique suitable for himself.


    But with Enlightenment Tea.


    For this purpose, Chen Mobai drank another pot of tea.


    In a state of epiphany, he even exceeded his intended goal, combining his cultivations, integrating the Void Walk, the True Void Law Body, and the Netherworld Array, he successfully created a new technique.


    This new instantaneous movement technique could be as low threshold as the Netherworld Array, yet it overcame the immobility issue, and still retained the technicality of Void Walk and the upper limit of the True Void Law Body.


    When it was time to use it in the Tianhe Realm, he would call it the True Void Law Body, in the Immortal Gates, it would be known as Void Walking.


    Anyway, he couldn¡¯t admit it was the Netherworld Array.


    With the aid of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai understood all the key points.


    He took out the key Array Plate of the Netherworld Array, although it was missing a corner, it did not affect its use.


    A huge External Incarnation emerged from the void behind him, and soon a blurry head protruded, aligning with Chen Mobai, who was sitting under the Biyu Wutong tree, at the same height as the semi-transparent skull¡¯s teeth.


    From a distance, it looked as if he was sitting in the middle of a ghostly face¡¯s mouth, incredibly eerie.


    If it were not for the Large Formation concealing the mountaintop, the sheer momentum might have startled the teachers and students down below.


    Chen Mobai stretched out his hand and threw the Array Plate into the brow of his External Incarnation.


    Since all the bones of this External Incarnation were condensed from the Power of the Void, the skull seamlessly merged with the Array Plate under his manipulation, and the subsequent Array Refining into Body was also effortlessly completed.


    After these procedures, Chen Mobai let his hands spread out to the sides.


    After breaking through to the Jindan Sixth Layer and reaching a Domain of 20480 cubic meters, it spread out from his hands into the surroundings.


    Soon, the entire mountaintop of Danxia Mountain was enveloped within his Domain.


    Chen Mobai took a deep breath, the Array Plate in the brow of his External Incarnation flickered with silvery-white brilliance.


    Suddenly, his form vanished from where he was and reappeared ten meters away.


    Feeling the slight strain on his Longevity Dao Body, Chen Mobai¡¯s face broke into a delighted smile.


    After that, he attempted again.


    This time, he teleported a hundred meters away and, opening his eyes, found himself in the center of a wooden hut on the mountaintop.


    Amidst his hearty laughter, the silvery-white brilliance flashed again, and Chen Mobai¡¯s form teleported from inside the hut to the doorway.


    After several such teleports, his form appeared at the very edge of his Domain¡¯s reach.


    But that was not the limit of his Domain. Amidst Chen Mobai¡¯s laughter, the previously static expansion of his Domain once again diffused into the exterior.


    He did not spread downward toward the foot of the mountain but instead controlled the Domain to expand horizontally, spreading toward the adjacent two mountain peaks.


    Finally, after encompassing three mountain peaks, Chen Mobai¡¯s Domain had expanded to its utmost extent.


    Next, the Array Plate above Chen Mobai¡¯s head burst into a silvery-white glow, and in an instant, he teleported from the peak of Danxia Mountain to another mountain¡¯s summit.


    This was his improved version of the Netherworld Array.


    Refining the Array Plate within his External Incarnation, integrating it with the Array Refining into Body technique, then merging the Netherworld Array with his own Domain. The area his Domain could cover would become his teleportation territory.

    The so-called Netherworld Array used the potent Spirit Vein Aura as an energy source, powering the Array Plate, then transforming the space encompassed by the Large Formation into a domain suitable for the array master¡¯s Instantaneous Technique.


    The key was to find a suitable Spiritual Land; other than the Spirit Veins, the most crucial aspect was the active Power of the Void.


    Lonely Spirit Ridge, with its Void Mysterious Stone Mine, met the requirements for setting up the Netherworld Array.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s Domain, it was just purely created from the Power of the Void, making it exceedingly suitable for establishing the Netherworld Array.


    From now on, he just needed to continuously expand his Domain until it could cover the entire Eastern Wilderness, which would probably be equivalent to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s Great Void Transference.

 Chapter 1294 - Chapter 1294 Chapter 711 Another Spring (24800 Monthly Ticket

    Chapter 1294: Chapter 711 Another Spring (24,800 Monthly Ticket Bonus) Chapter 1294: Chapter 711 Another Spring (24,800 Monthly Ticket Bonus) Unaware, another spring had passed.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes at the top of Danxia Mountain, feeling the peak of the sixth layer of his Golden Core realm, and inevitably let out a sigh.


    71 years old and having reached such a realm, he was without precedent.


    Although this was mainly due to the consumption of Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, at least in fact, he had surpassed the Yuanyang Ancestor, who was historically recognized as the number one talent of the Immortal Gate.


    If he could resolve the Dan poison a bit more, by this time next year, Chen Mobai felt that he could attempt to break through to the seventh layer of the Golden Core.


    Because the increase in spiritual power for the fifth and sixth layers of the Golden Core was not attained through his own bitter cultivation, he knew that there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that the breakthrough would fail.


    However, that was not a problem.


    The accumulation of Pure Yang Purple Qi over many years was meant to be used at this time.


    With the help of supreme-grade spirit stones, triggering the breakthrough should pose no problem.


    After completing his cultivation, Chen Mobai also practiced his other cultivation techniques.


    He took out a piece of Golden Crystal and with Primordial True Qi, he effortlessly melted it into the purest Gold Spiritual Qi, and then refined it into Precious Golden Light, enhancing his long-practiced secret technique.


    This secret technique from the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, Chen Mobai had already practiced to the realm of Precious Treasure.


    Whenever he had a sliver of spare time, he would mostly spend it on refining Golden Crystals.


    The realm of Refine Treasure was indeed too enticing.


    According to his previous pace, Chen Mobai might need decades to master it.


    But now, having cultivated Primordial True Qi, the speed had greatly increased.


    All the quintessences of the Five Elements, when encountering Primordial True Qi, would be broken down into the purest Five Element Spiritual Energy, which was very easy for cultivators to absorb.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai absorbed and refined a Golden Crystal, he needed to spend his own painstaking effort to purify it.


    But now, with a rush of Primordial True Qi, it could be done in the blink of an eye, leaving only the absorption of Gold Spiritual Qi to be refined into Precious Golden Light.


    According to his current realm of spiritual consciousness, it would probably take three to four days to cultivate a strand of Precious Golden Light.


    The realm of Refine Treasure needed 729 strands of Precious Golden Light. Of these, Chen Mobai had already cultivated 89 strands previously, meaning he actually needed to condense only 640 more strands.


    This means that now, he only needed around six years of spare time to cultivate this secret technique to the highest realm.


    Since cultivating Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai felt this was the most significant thing he had done.


    However, if his realm of spiritual consciousness could be elevated once more, the speed of cultivating Precious Golden Light could be even shorter.


    But while Pure Yang Spiritual Power could be elevated with Immortal Peach Fruit, Divine Sense had no way to do the same.


    Originally, according to his estimates, when he was at the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm with his Pure Yang Scroll, he should have been able to cultivate to the second layer of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram¡¯s Quality of Food and receive the boon of being Immune to All Poisons.


    But now, because the Immortal Peach Fruit directly shortened nearly twenty years of meditation and bitter cultivation, Chen Mobai, even with the most advantageous conditions like the Biyu Wutong, couldn¡¯t keep up with the advancement of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai had also thought of some solutions.


    For instance, during the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had tried Dual Cultivation with Meng Huang, using her Mystic Sound Method to listen to the echoes of the Great Dao to enhance spiritual consciousness.


    Chen Mobai took advantage of his trip to Wangwu Cave Heaven for an official visit, or when Meng Huang had an opportunity to pass by Danxia and Yu Wood Cities during a performance, to rekindle the past with her.


    Unfortunately, his realm was simply too high.


    Although the two reunited like newlyweds after a long separation, reaching a delightful realm both physically and spiritually, it had a negligible effect on the elevation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense.


    On the contrary, Meng Huang, with the help of this Golden Core Master and Chen Mobai¡¯s intentional or unintentional guidance with Echoes in the Void at the moment of spiritual resonance, heard the sound of the Great Dao, deepening her understanding of the Mystic Sound Method.


    That was when Chen Mobai was at Wangwu Cave Heaven for his official visit.


    Meng Huang, who reaped massive benefits, would find ways to sneak over and reminisce with Chen Mobai whenever she had a performance in the southeastern regions of the Immortal Gate, near Danxia City and Yu Wood City.


    Fortunately, such opportunities were not frequent; otherwise, Chen Mobai¡¯s resolute will might have been corroded.


    After Dual Cultivation, Chen Mobai also considered consuming elixirs from the Immortal Gate that could enhance Divine Sense.


    But such elixirs were all extremely precious, and the ones useful to him were those that needed to be listed by the higher-ups, at most, he could only reserve one or two.


    If he purchased more, it would definitely attract the attention of the concerned individuals of the Immortal Gate.


    After all, even cultivators of the Sect of Realms within the Immortal Gate did not advocate for using elixirs to improve ordinary realms.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai was a person of repute as having the Qualifications for Deity Transformation; if people found out he needed to take medicines to improve his realm, wouldn¡¯t that be the collapse of his persona?


    He also considered taking the alchemy recipes of the Immortal Gate to the Five Elements Sect to help gather main and subsidiary ingredients for refinement.


    But the elixirs that were useful to him were at least Rank-3, and with Yan Shaoyin already closed off refining Infant-Feeding Elixir, his only option was Zeng Woyou, the head of the Alchemy Department.


    But Chen Mobai did not quite trust the skills of this Alchemy Department head.


    He estimated that at least two or three furnaces would need to be wasted for trial and refinement before finding a successful path.


    ¡°`


    As every batch of Rank-3 elixirs required materials that even a major sect like the Five Elements Sect would find painfully expensive upon a single failure, and considering that it¡¯s not an essential item like the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel it was necessary to forcefully produce them.


    He would rather invest his time and materials into the Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    This elixir, second only to the Gold Liquid Jade Pill among the Immortal Gate¡¯s elixirs, was a perfect match for the Five Elements Sect.


    However, like the Gold Liquid Jade Pill, many of the materials didn¡¯t exist in the Tianhe Realm, necessitating experimentation with various medicinal herb substitutes.


    Even though Chen Mobai boasted a wealth of theoretical knowledge, without a master alchemist like Yan Shaoyin actually conducting the procedure, the likelihood of success was extremely low.


    With Zeng Woyou¡¯s skill level, he might waste ten batches without being able to successfully substitute the materials from the Tianhe Realm and refine a single Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    It was due to this concern that Chen Mobai only handed over the materials for the Wood Element Golden Core Pill to the Alchemy Department for Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye to ponder over.


    After all, their Wood Vein had a greater need for this particular elixir.


    Among the current Foundation Establishment Completion practitioners in the sect, Meng Hong, Yin Qingmei, Quan Shanlin, and Yue Zutao practiced Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques; if they could research and successfully substitute the pill recipe, then their Wood Vein could maintain its leading position among the Five Elements for at least a few hundred years.


    Unable to enhance his Spiritual Consciousness Realm through elixir techniques, Chen Mobai¡¯s only alternative was the Devour God Technique.


    However, he was rather wary of forbidden techniques.


    After all, with a promising future ahead, if exposed, he feared that within the Immortal Gate, he would inevitably become nothing more than a prisoner.


    If only he could modify it like the Underworld Array, ensuring no trace of the forbidden technique remained after cultivation, that would be ideal.


    Unfortunately, repurposing the Devour God Technique would be much more difficult than modifying the Underworld Array.


    With samples such as Void Walk and the Void Law Body for reference, and his external incarnation being formed from the Power of Void, he naturally had an advantage when practicing Teleportation.


    But there was no such remedy for the Devour God Technique.


    Moreover, the version of the Devour God Technique that Chen Mobai possessed was incomplete.


    Modifying it would be extremely challenging; he might have to finish every last drop of the Enlightenment Tea given to him by Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Chen Mobai decided to set this matter aside for now.


    He would give it careful consideration once his Pure Yang Scroll had broken through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    Having refined today¡¯s Golden Crystals, Chen Mobai once again reviewed the various Grand Spells and the Dao of the Five Elements stored within the Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Most of these, he had already comprehended.


    Only the ¡°Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,¡± which he had acquired in the Great Dao Tree, remained elusive without any progress whatsoever.


    To this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t give much thought.


    After all, even if he mastered true Sword Intent at this stage, it likely wouldn¡¯t significantly enhance his combat strength.


    With the Extreme Sun Slash, the Purple Electric Sword, Primordial True Qi, and the Underworld Array, he believed he could, if necessary, engage in a couple of exchanges with a Nascent Soul Cultivator and then escape.


    After completing a cycle of cultivation, Chen Mobai looked up at the moon that had turned night black, and suddenly thought of his family.


    Earlier this year during the New Year festivities, he noticed his parents had grown much older.


    Though still agile due to their status as Cultivators, their lifespans were approaching their end.


    They, however, took this in stride.


    After all, having Chen Mobai as their son¨Cthe most astonishing talent the Immortal Gate had seen in a millennium¨Ctheir lives had been sufficiently glorious.


    Their only regret was probably not having lived to see their grandchildren.


    As for Chen Mobai, there was little he could do; he couldn¡¯t just capture a woman for the sake of marriage and childbirth.


    Partly for this reason, since last year, Chen Mobai had mostly been in Red Sandstone City. Once his cultivation period at Danxia Mountain was over, he would use the Short Teleportation Talisman to return home and accompany his parents.


    As darkness fell, Chen Mobai was preparing to stop his cultivation and return, when he suddenly received a notification from the Formless Puppet left in Northern Abyss City.


    This meant there was important business that needed to be reported, requiring the presence of the Sect Leader himself.


    Frowning, Chen Mobai made a phone call to his parents and then activated the Turtle Treasure to arrive at Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Sect Leader, these are messages from Jiang Shidi and Yue Shidi,¡± E Yun said, handing over two freshly received Jade Slips to Chen Mobai, who had just emerged from seclusion atop the highest mountain in Northern Abyss City.


    The latter took them and nodded slightly after a glance.


    This spring, Jiang Zongheng and his disciple Duan Shuyu once again led the armies of Rock Country, commencing the final stages of unifying the Eastern Wilderness.


    Resistance was particularly fierce in the Frost Country, and with covert support from the Snow-blowing Palace, they managed to hold off Rock Country¡¯s army.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Jiang Zongheng had no choice but to issue a widespread call for heroes, simultaneously sending word to Yue Zutao.


    For previously, when Chen Mobai and the four other True Persons had broken the Water and Fire Array, he had claimed that aiding the unification of the Eastern Wilderness was a meritorious deed for the Five Elements Sect, deserving of a reward for their contribution.


    In that battle against the Water and Fire Veins, merely following the script in a performance had earned the four True Persons an award of ten thousand contribution points, and the practitioners of Foundation Establishment who came along had each accrued one thousand contribution points.


    Now that the unification of the Eastern Wilderness faced obstacles once more, Yue Zutao had immediately instructed the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to list this mission according to the previous rules.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 1295 - Chapter 1295 Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child

    Chapter 1295: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child Chapter 1295: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child As soon as the task was posted, Yue Zutao, with the advantage of proximity, immediately took it on.


    The others, such as Xie Yuntian and the like, had already accepted tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and were not at Giant Tree Ridge.


    In Yue Zutao¡¯s view, as a cultivator who had reached the Completion of Foundation Establishment, plus the group of Righteous Cultivators from Four Seas under Jiang Zongheng¡¯s command, taking down Frost Country and Snow Country should be as easy as reaching out to grab it.


    Yue Zutao didn¡¯t believe that Snow-blowing Palace would dare to fight back against such a majestic force of the Five Elements Sect.


    However, they were stopped right in front of the snowy mountains of Frost Country.


    Relying on the geographical advantage, Snow-blowing Palace had set up the Large Formation of Wind, Frost, Rain, and Snow early on, preventing the Rock Country¡¯s army and the accompanying cultivators from making any progress.


    Encountering this problem, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s first reaction was to report to Chen Mobai.


    But Yue Zutao saw much more in the attitude of Snow-blowing Palace.


    Now in the entire Eastern Wilderness, who didn¡¯t know that the Five Elements Sect wanted to unify the mundane world and create an unprecedented era of peace? Even Zhou Ye, who presided over Hunyuan Immortal City, had succumbed.


    Why would Snow-blowing Palace dare to stand in the way?


    Could it be that powers from beyond the Eastern Wilderness wanted to interfere and hinder the unification momentum of the Five Elements Sect?


    The naturally cautious Yue Zutao also wrote his suspicions in a letter and, together with Jiang Zongheng, submitted it to Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Snow-blowing Palace doesn¡¯t recognize the will of heaven, ah¡­ But after all, they are also a neighbor of many years. Use my name to draft a document to Kong Lingling, and let¡¯s try reasoning with them¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai also felt very strange, Back to Sky Valley dared to resist because they had Star Heaven Dao Sect, the overlord of East Yu, behind them, and Yan Shaoyin had the chance of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    But what about you, Kong Lingling?


    E Yun drafted a fiercely worded document, and after Chen Mobai read it, he made it even more intense. Then he called over Yu Lian and asked him to make a trip to Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    After Yu Lian left, Chen Mobai inquired of E Yun about any important matters that had occurred in the past year.


    And just as they were talking.


    An old man, with a pair of young male and female apprentices, stepped into Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Although this rural Fang Market is not large in scale, its planning is very distinctive; I¡¯ve never seen such a form before.¡±


    A girl with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin wearing a blue tight-fitting long gown, and carrying a longsword, walked on the bustling but orderly commercial street and couldn¡¯t help but click her tongue in wonder.


    ¡°This place is called Northern Abyss, originally built by the largest local sect of the Eastern Wilderness, the Five Elements Sect, to maintain their rule over this plateau. It is said that the person who designed this city is the current Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, Chen Guixian, who is also known as the most outstanding talent in the Eastern Wilderness for a thousand years, unbeaten since he started his journey.¡±


    The leader among the three was an old man with a weathered appearance, standing tall and upright, but his eyes betrayed a respectful demeanor towards the young man and woman beside him.


    ¡°A talent? That¡¯s only in such a small backwater area.¡±


    Hearing the old man¡¯s narrative, the girl casually dismissed it with a sharp comment.


    At her words, many nearby cultivators turned their gaze her way, including some wearing the attire of the Divine Wood Sect, looking unfriendly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Sky Meal Building!¡±


    At that moment, the silent young man spoke. He had a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes; his fair complexion was as pristine as jade, and his simple black clothes fluttered in the wind, his longsword on his back.


    The cultivators nearby who met his calm eyes, deep as a serene pond, felt a chill rising from the depths of their hearts and shivered.


    ¡°Yes, True Person Ye.¡±


    The old cultivator nodded; he had led his sect¡¯s Commerce Association here several times. Although he could not claim to know Northern Abyss City like the back of his hand, he at least was aware of where the major landmark shops were located.


    As for Sky Meal Building, being part of a force widespread in the Eastern Region, it was almost always in the best location in the center of the Fang Market.


    Soon, the trio arrived at a five-story wooden pavilion, and on the highest floor hung a board with the three big characters of Sky Meal Building, sparkling with brilliant Spiritual Light.


    ¡°May I ask if Chef Shen is in?¡±


    After entering, the old cultivator asked a Qi Cultivation lad who received them; the boy¡¯s expression changed slightly upon hearing this and he respectfully replied, ¡°I will go call the Shopkeeper.¡±


    Sky Meal Building valued culinary skills above all else, hence the chef held the highest status; the lad was not entitled to directly go backstage to contact the chef, so he needed to request his superior, the Shopkeeper.


    In a short while, a middle-aged man wearing a square hat came over, greeting the old cultivator very politely: ¡°Brother Yu, I didn¡¯t expect it to be you, ah¡­ But right now is peak dining time; Chef Shen is really unable to spare a moment¡­¡±


    The old cultivator, Yu Hai from Sun Bathing Sea, coughed lightly upon hearing this and pointed towards the junior brother and sister behind him: ¡°Manager Lan, it is these two who wish to meet Chef Shen.¡±


    The middle-aged man named Lan Youxiang, upon hearing Yu Hai¡¯s words, turned to look over.


    He was initially puzzled, but then suddenly caught sight of the wave symbol on the cuffs of the young man and woman, his eyes widened dramatically, and now bent his body, smiled most cordially as he approached the young man and woman.

    ¡°Who would have thought that in the humble Eastern Wilderness, we would be graced with the presence of distinguished individuals from the Holy Land, may I ask how to address you both?¡±


    The young man: ¡°Ye Qing.¡±


    The young woman: ¡°Yuan Zhen.¡±


    Upon hearing the young man¡¯s name, Lan Youxiang¡¯s mouth dropped open in disbelief.


    ¡°Please wait a moment; I will immediately notify Chef Shen to come here.¡±

 Chapter 1296 - Chapter 1296 Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child_2

    Chapter 1296: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child_2 Chapter 1296: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child_2 Watching Lan Youxiang leave in a hurry, Yu Hai also felt a sense of empathy.


    When he first met these two at the entrance of the Large-scale Transmission Array in Golden Crow Immortal City, he was equally astonished.


    Ye Qing¡¯s name was well known throughout the East Land.


    At his birth, the Pure Bamboo Corn of the Demon Slaying Sect shone up to the heavens, eliciting the esteemed Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) to descend from the mountain.


    At the age of eight, he was taken to the Holy Land, began his Food Cultivation immortal pursuit, and by eighteen had reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and established his foundation upon hearing the path. Afterwards, he travelled down the mountain, slayed twenty-four Devil Cultivators with his sword, and destroyed countless wicked demon sects.


    In his fiftieth year, he encountered a Golden Core Demon Cultivator massacring mortals to refine the Myriad Souls Flag and resolutely drew his sword to intervene.


    In the midst of the battle, he comprehended the pill formation, utilized his Flying Sword to draw down the Heavenly Tribulation to slay the devil cultivator, and was heralded as the first in swordsmanship talent in a thousand years of the East Land.


    After forming his Gold Core, Ye Qing assumed the role of the Taoist Child of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, and before the age of one hundred, had already reached Perfect Core Formation. He once challenged the Saint Heir of Tongyou Demon Sect at Tianzhu Peak, defeating him within a hundred moves. If not for the blasphemous intervention by a Nascent Soul Elder from the Tongyou Demon Sect, the latter would likely have perished by Ye Qing¡¯s sword.


    Those in the Eastern Region who knew of Ye Qing believed that his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± was merely a matter of time.


    Some even exclaimed that he possessed the ¡°Qualification of Deification¡±.


    Such a person, why would he come to the rural Eastern Wilderness?


    Shen Shanqing heard from Lan Youxiang that Ye Qing had arrived here and was also shocked to the core. He immediately put down his pan without even changing his clothes, and went right out to the main hall.


    ¡°True Monarch Ye gracing our North Abyss branch of the Sky Meal Building truly brings honor to our humble establishment. Come, come, to the fifth floor. I¡¯ll prepare a fine table for you.¡±


    As a True Disciple of the Sky Meal Building, even though Shen Shanqing was no longer favored due to his master¡¯s Passing Away in Meditation, having been kicked to start the expansion in the Eastern Wilderness, he had seen the world on the other side and warmly greeted them as they headed for the topmost level.


    Ye Qing preferred not to be the center of attention in public and thus nodded his head, following Shen Shanqing upstairs.


    After the group had gone up, Qi Rui, who was dining at the Sky Meal Building, put down his wine glass and frowned slightly.


    Others might not know Shen Shanqing¡¯s status, but how could he be unaware?


    In all of Northern Abyss City, probably only if the Sect Leader arrived would he personally come out to receive them.


    Previously, when Chen Mobai visited, he had accompanied him here to entertain guests at the Sky Meal Building, and it was on that occasion that Qi Rui learned Shen Shanqing was the true person in charge of the establishment.


    Yet even then, Shen Shanqing had not displayed such eagerness to please.


    Who was this youth, and where did he come from?


    Was he a Golden Core Cultivator from a major sect in the East Land?


    Qi Rui recalled sitting on the third floor just moments before, looking towards Ye Qing in the center of the main hall, and the very instant their gazes met, he felt a chilling, hair-raising sensation, knowing this person¡¯s cultivation level far exceeded his own.


    A new Golden Core could have no small impact on the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Could he be an ancestral elder invited from the East Land by the Snow-blowing Palace?


    With this thought in mind, Qi Rui could no longer eat. He immediately settled the bill and left Sky Meal Building, heading straight for the grand hall of Northern Abyss City.


    At this time, Chen Mobai was conversing with E Yun.


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s report, Chen Mobai¡¯s brows slightly raised.


    ¡°It¡¯s just about mealtime, let¡¯s dine at the Sky Meal Building today.¡±


    As the lord of Northern Abyss City, it was necessary for Chen Mobai to investigate the origins of an unknown high-order cultivator.


    Having constructed the Underworld Array, even if he encountered Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was confident he could escape, so he directly made his way to the Sky Meal Building.


    The Sky Meal Building had a total of five floors, with the fifth floor reserved for the most esteemed guests who could enjoy the view of most of Northern Abyss City.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s status, a visit would certainly mean ascending to the fifth floor.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, Lan Youxiang could only wipe the sweat from his forehead and lead them up to another private room on the fifth floor.


    There were four private rooms on the fifth floor named after the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum flowers, each overlooking different views of Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°The bamboo room is the Sect Leader¡¯s favorite.¡±


    E Yun, seeing the word ¡®mei¡¯ (plum) at the entrance, frowned and looked at Lan Youxiang, indicating that they should change rooms, but Chen Mobai raised his hand to stop him.


    ¡°Just this room.¡±


    Although the Five Elements Sect is now the dominator of the Eastern Wilderness, and they have Zhou Shengqing, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Chen Mobai did not become arrogant. He knew that on the East Land side, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Aside from the Holy Lands, there were over a hundred forces that had produced Nascent Soul cultivators, many of which they, the Five Elements Sect, could not afford to provoke.


    ¡°Is Chef Shen not here today?¡±


    Within the private room, Lan Youxiang, acting as the shopkeeper, personally attended to Chen Mobai, who smiled and asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s here, he¡¯s here, he¡¯s here, but there are guests next door who need attending to. I¡¯ll go inform him in a moment, so that when he¡¯s free, he can come and drink a couple of glasses with Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Lan Youxiang was aware of Ye Qing¡¯s identity and knew that the Saint Land Taoist Child coming to the backcountry of the Eastern Wilderness must signify a grand affair, so he did not dare to disclose any information.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s specifically choosing this time to come here was quite obviously aimed at Ye Qing.


    However, Sky Meal Building was a power with Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the East Land and thus was not very afraid of the East Wilderness Major Sect. Comparing the two, Lan Youxiang became increasingly poised when facing Chen Mobai.


    Before long, a series of grand dishes began being served by beautiful female cultivators.


    Although limited by various seasonings, the culinary level of Sky Meal Building was, in Chen Mobai¡¯s view, just so-so. However, their carefully selected meat, spiritual vegetables, melons, and fruits, many of which were unique to the Tianhe Realm, meant that whenever Chen Mobai had the time, he would still enjoy coming here for a taste.


    Of course, he liked to bring his own drinks whenever he ate out.


    After all the dishes were served, Chen Mobai took out a jug of Zhuo Ming¡¯s elaborately brewed Spiritual Wine from his Storage Bag. It was made using Rank-3 Pure Bamboo Corn as the raw material and was the first Rank-3 Spiritual Wine ever brewed in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After brewing, it had been cellared for twelve years and had reached maturity last year.


    After the cask was opened, Chen Mobai naturally was the first to taste it. He found this Rank-3 Spiritual Wine had a crisp taste with a hint of bamboo dew fragrance and also could enhance Divine Sense.


    After partaking in six jugs, Chen Mobai had barely managed to increase the intensity of his Divine Consciousness to that of the Jindan Sixth Layer, but afterwards, even more drinking ceased to be effective.


    Now, for Chen Mobai, this wine could only satisfy his taste buds.


    However, for E Yun and Qi Rui, it was an unparalleled treasure.


    Considering their cultivation level was merely at Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai only poured them each a glass.


    Yet even so, after they drank it, they both had to close their eyes to savor the refreshing qi emerging from the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and began to sit in meditation to refine it.


    After a short while, Shen Shanqing arrived, and the first thing he did was apologize.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please don¡¯t be offended. A good friend of my master from the East Land came over¡­ I¡¯ll punish myself with three drinks¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai smiled and poured him a glass first. Shen Shanqing knew that the brew from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage was the first in the Eastern Wilderness, even their Sky Meal Building would go to purchase it.


    Thinking the Spiritual Wine was a new variety, Shen Shanqing also took a sniff and then drank it down boldly.


    After finishing the drink, his face did not change as he put down the cup, and Chen Mobai smiled and refilled it for him.


    After three consecutive glasses, Shen Shanqing¡¯s expression changed slightly. He then directly sat cross-legged on the ground and, like E Yun and Qi Rui before him, began to process the strength of the liquor.


    Although Sky Meal Building practices the art of Food Cultivation, consuming all kinds of spiritual delicacies, melting them into a Great Method.


    But three full glasses of Rank-3 Spiritual Wine for someone merely at Foundation Establishment like Shen Shanqing was a bit too much.


    After the time of an incense stick had passed.


    Chen Mobai could feel a Divine Sense probing over from the next bamboo room, clearly curious why Shen Shanqing had not returned for so long.


    However, that Divine Sense was only at the Foundation Establishment level.


    Chen Mobai dipped his finger in the wine and casually drew a Restriction to isolate Divine Sense, blocking it from coming through.


    Not long after, there was a knock at the door.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Please come in!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice sounded, followed by Lan Youxiang and an elderly cultivator entering.


    Seeing Shen Shanqing seated with a flushed face, their expressions changed slightly, thinking that Chen Mobai was taking his anger out on Shen Shanqing due to the matter with the private room.


    Yu Hai saw this scene and immediately sent a message to Ye Qing next door.


    Then, a bone-piercingly chill Sword Intent surged out from the bamboo room¡­

 Chapter 1297 - Chapter 1297 Chapter 713 Capturing Frost Country (25600

    Chapter 1297: Chapter 713: Capturing Frost Country (25,600 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1297: Chapter 713: Capturing Frost Country (25,600 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chen Mobai felt the piercing cold of the sword intent and couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly astonished.


    With his experience in magical duels, he determined in an instant that there were only a handful of ways he could counter this sword intent.


    But a few did not mean none. Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up, and he raised his right hand, a brilliant five-colored stream of energy swirling in his palm, ready to unleash his Primordial True Qi.


    However, at that moment, Shen Shanqing, who had been sitting with eyes closed, suddenly stood up.


    As the piercing cold sword intent had just entered the room and reached behind him, it halted in an instant and then dissipated into nothingness.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai also lowered his right hand, and the brilliant five-colored Primordial True Qi vanished from his palm.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for the wine. May I know its name and whether it¡¯s possible to purchase it for our Sky Meal Building?¡± Shen Shanqing asked with a face full of respect, bowing to Chen Mobai. His divine sense had broken through the long-standing shackles with the help of these three cups of wine, reaching the late phase of Foundation Establishment.


    It is worth noting, he had been stuck at this bottleneck for nearly thirty years.


    ¡°Lucky for us that Chef Shen woke up, otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain to the True Person next door,¡± Chen Mobai said with a smile.


    Shen Shanqing and the others didn¡¯t dare respond to that remark, causing a somewhat awkward silence.


    ¡°Forgive the misunderstanding.¡±


    After a while, Ye Qing¡¯s voice sounded, and then the door to the bamboo room opened, and he came out, bowing to Chen Mobai with his hands cupped.


    ¡°It was just a misunderstanding. May I know how this Daoist Brother is called?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had not probed Ye Qing¡¯s cultivation level, the piercing cold sword intent had already shown that the latter¡¯s cultivation was above his own, so he was very polite in his demeanor.


    ¡°Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Ye Qing!¡± Ye Qing revealed his name without hesitation.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a look of shock.


    The reputation of the Saint Land Taoist Child was something even he had heard thunderously, despite being from the remote Eastern Wasteland.


    After all, the Eastern Wasteland was not lacking in resources, and there were quite a few powers like the Sky Meal Building that had set up branch commerce associations here. While conducting business here, they also brought information about the major forces of the six realms of the Eastern Region.


    Since taking over control of the Divine Wood Sect and devising a plan to unify the Eastern Wasteland, Chen Mobai had also set his sights on the entire Eastern Region.


    Among them, the most crucial information about the Four Great Holy Lands, Huashen Zhenjun, Nascent Soul Superiors, Taoist Saintesses, and the like had been collected by those he sent out.


    Chen Mobai was deeply impressed with the name of Ye Qing.


    After all, among the Four Great Holy Lands, the Profound Heaven True Monarch of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was known as the number one person in the Eastern Region. As his personally raised disciple, Ye Qing boasted the Qualification of Deification.


    This had left a strong memory in Chen Mobai, who also possessed the Qualification of Deification.


    To think that such a person would come to the Eastern Wasteland.


    ¡°I¡¯ve long admired your great name!¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and returned the salute to Ye Qing, who nodded his head and then turned back into his bamboo room.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I¡¯ll go greet True Person Ye. Put today¡¯s meal on my tab, and please take good care of everything here,¡± Shen Shanqing said, although he was eager to inquire about Chen Mobai¡¯s Rank-3 Spiritual Wine. Clearly, the matter concerning Ye Qing was of greater importance, so he had no choice but to apologize and call Lan Youxiang in to take over the hosting duties.


    ¡°Chef Shen, please do as you wish, I¡¯ll be on my way after I finish eating.¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s main purpose for this visit was to find out who the new Golden Core Cultivator entering the city was. Now that he knew it was the Saint Heir from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, his objective was achieved.


    Although he was very curious, he didn¡¯t inquire further about Ye Qing¡¯s reasons for visiting.


    However, thinking carefully about the reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, he could guess a thing or two.


    Were there Devil Cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland?


    Realizing this, Chen Mobai thought of Hong He, who had left the sect a long time ago, wondering how he was doing now.


    He was a good fellow sect member; had he not practiced demonic techniques, he might already be a sect cultivator at the completion of Foundation Establishment, ready to exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Besides Hong He, there was also Tu Daohua, whom Elder Ming had mentioned before¨Ca confirmed Golden Core Stage cultivator and a ghost-route Devil Cultivator. Perhaps Ye Qing was here to slay him?


    When Chen Mobai left the Sky Meal Building, his thoughts were racing, and he then thought of his disciple, Luo Yixuan.


    Although she had not practiced demonic techniques, her Core Formation with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power classified her as part of a Side Sect or Evil Path. To avoid drawing Ye Qing¡¯s attention, Chen Mobai immediately issued a command for her to hand over the task of opening up Dark Water to Yin Qingmei.


    The reason was the resurgence of the Demonic Beasts in Cloud Dream Swamp, with numerous Rank-3 Demonic Beasts making their presence known. To prevent Wind Rain Hamlet from falling, Luo Yixuan was instructed to go over and provide support immediately.


    Luo Yixuan always treated Chen Mobai¡¯s words as if they were divine commands, directing her to the east without ever questioning whether she should go west instead.


    So upon receiving the order, without a second word, he immediately transferred the task of pioneering Dark Water and prepared to set out that very night after packing his things.


    According to the original route, it would have been fastest for Luo Yixuan to travel from Rainbow Country, pass through Eastern Desolation Plateau, and use the teleportation arrays in the various fang markets via Northern Abyss City.


    But Chen Mobai also instructed her to return to Giant Tree Ridge first and then lead ten Foundation Establishment Practitioners and eight hundred Qi Practitioners to provide support.


    To ensure Luo Yixuan understood the seriousness of the matter, Chen Mobai had Qi Rui, who relayed the message, tell her about the presence of Ye Qing from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect in Northern Abyss City. He advised her to request Zhou Shengqing¡¯s presence in Northern Abyss City once she reached Wind Rain Hamlet.


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan, who originally wanted to take a detour to Northern Abyss City to see her beloved master, had to painfully give up on the idea.


    Her Dan Forming with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, although not enough to make her a target for condemnation by everyone in the Demon Path, still made her somewhat unwelcome in the eyes of the Righteous Path.


    The last time Gu Zhiqin, a Golden Core Cultivator from the Star Heaven Dao Sect, came visiting, Chen Mobai had also asked her, who was then in Rainbow Country, to avoid him.


    Because of Ye Qing¡¯s unexpected arrival in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai had no choice but to stay put and take charge again.


    At the same time, the older cultivator who came with Brother and Sister Ye Qing was investigated by E Yun and had his background uncovered.


    He was a deacon in charge of commercial affairs in the Eastern Wasteland for Sun Bathing Sea, named Yu Hai, with cultivation at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The East Barbarians bordered the East Land, possessing a large-scale transmission array that directly connects the two domains. For this reason, Sun Bathing Sea¡¯s Wu Immortal City, rich with Eastern Land unique elixirs, magic artifacts, spirit materials, medicinal herbs, and even lineages of cultivation techniques, is deservedly the number one immortal city in the East Barbarians.


    Although it was unclear why they came from East Land to the Eastern Wilderness, Ye Qing definitely wasn¡¯t familiar with the area, which is why he brought Yu Hai along.


    ¡°Sect Master, do we need to invite Yu Hai for a meeting?¡± asked E Yun.


    Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Wouldn¡¯t that clearly be an attempt to find out the purpose of Ye Qing¡¯s visit? If he meets with Yu Hai, surely he wouldn¡¯t keep it a secret from Ye Qing. Best not do anything that might cause misunderstandings.


    ¡°Sect Master, if we could establish relations with the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, it would definitely be more convenient to expand the market in East Land after unifying the Eastern Wasteland in the future,¡± suggested E Yun, who had never before encountered an heir of such a legendary holy land, the famous Taoist Child, and was somewhat getting carried away.


    ¡°Some things are a blessing, not a disaster,¡± Chen Mobai commented.


    If possible, Chen Mobai wished that forces from East Barbarians and East Land would stay away from the Eastern Wasteland, allowing him to focus on unifying it and developing in secret for a while. It would be best if they could wait until after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± before they have dealings with the outside world.


    The arrival of Jiutian Dangmo Sect was surely connected to Devil Cultivators, and it must be no ordinary character to warrant the personal attention of Taoist Child Ye Qing.


    That is why Chen Mobai wanted Zhou Shengqing to come.


    Before Ye Qing had the intention to explain, Chen Mobai decided to maintain a cautious stillness, handling another matter first.


    ¡°Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin should have completed their tasks, have them go to the battlefields of Frost Country.¡±


    ¡°And Zheng Deming, after Xuan gets there, with the Five Elements Sect¡¯s strength already sufficient in Cloud Dream Marsh, have him go support Zong Heng as well.¡±


    ¡°To prevent Kong Lingling from acting dishonorably, please also ask Fu Shixiong to leave his retreat and help oversee the army.¡±


    The stirring letter Chen Mobai had sent to Snow-blowing Palace had not elicited any response, which left him feeling quite slighted.


    What irritated him even more was that the messenger Yu Lian had also disappeared.


    This prompted an immediate reaction from Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to take things slowly.


    Yu Lian, talented and already at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, could only have been silently taken by either Snow-blowing Palace or Back to Sky Valley in the whole of the Eastern Wasteland.


    Right now, the main suspect was Snow-blowing Palace.


    Under these circumstances, if it weren¡¯t for Ye Qing in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai would have considered going to confront Kong Lingling himself.


    But unable to leave, he could easily muster a formidable army capable of annihilating Snow-blowing Palace, through his authority as the Sect Master.


    On the day he received the news of Yu Lian¡¯s disappearance, he had already sent Meng Hong to the front lines.


    It was just unfortunate that Mo Douguang was in seclusion, aiming for the realm of Perfection in Core Formation; otherwise, the strength of his sword alone would have been enough to destroy all of Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s resistance on the battlefield.


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s orders, the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Wood Vein swiftly mobilized.


    Within the short span of half a month, Fu Zongjue, Meng Hong, Xie Yuntian, Quan Shanlin, and Zheng Deming had all flocked to Jiang Zongheng¡¯s command.


    By this time, the army had gathered two Golden Core Cultivators, four at the Completion of Foundation Establishment, twenty-seven ordinary Foundation Establishment Practitioners, and several hundred Qi Practitioners.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Rank-3 Great Formation set up by Snow-blowing Palace, taking advantage of the terrain, endured with difficulty for one and a half months before finally collapsing under the onslaught of Jiang Zongheng¡¯s cultivator army.


    With the formation broken, Frost Country fell to the advancing forces of Rock Country, led by Duan Shuyu. In just two months, they conquered twelve cities and made a beeline for the royal capital.


    After Frost Country, Jiang Zongheng led his troops southward again.


    The cultivators of Snow-blowing Palace, under the leadership of Sect Master Zhu Jinyu, took twenty-four Foundation Establishment Practitioners and eight hundred Qi Practitioners to occupy the medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine at the border, setting up the Ice Snow Formation, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°True Person Fu, our Snow-blowing Palace is inherited from Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Elder Bingyun will be furious when he learns of this?¡± Zhu Jinyu stood fierce and erect, her willowy eyebrows raised as she loudly reprimanded Fu Zongjue before the Great Formation.

 Chapter 1298 - Chapter 1298 Chapter 714 Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect

    Chapter 1298: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect Chapter 1298: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect The Huashen Zhenjun of the Ice Palace perished amidst the great calamity, and from then on, the Eastern Earth Holy Land crumbled and fell apart.


    But even a dying camel is larger than a horse, and there were still a few Elders who, after leaving the Fifth Grade Spirit Vein of the Holy Land, founded anew the Ice Palace. Even until today, they remain a Nascent Soul Force.


    Among the Elders who founded the Ice Palace was an Ancestor from the Snow-blowing Palace, the current Nascent Soul Bing Yun Hermit, whose lineage if traced, is precisely that of this Ancestor.


    Thus, the lineage of the Snow-blowing Palace has always flaunted this Ancestor¡¯s prestige around the Eastern Wilderness.


    Fu Zongjue might have been wary before, but ever since Zhou Shengqing¡¯s ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± his visions too have expanded.


    Even a powerful dragon does not suppress the local snakes¨CFu Zongjue did not believe that Bing Yun Hermit would truly dare to step into the Eastern Wilderness.


    Facing Zhu Jinyu¡¯s questioning, Fu Zongjue couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with a minor character at the Foundation Establishment level. Jiang Zongheng promptly stood out and flew to the front of the Formation with all due propriety and protocol.


    ¡°Sect Master Zhu, we have no covetous intentions toward the Spirit Stone Mine, we merely wish to help unify the mortal world and usher in an era of peace and prosperity,¡± he said.


    ¡°This is fated, and it¡¯s also the trend of the times. As long as you open the Large Formation and let us through, I can make a Daoist Heart Oath that I will not encroach upon any of Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s mines or Spirit Fields.¡±


    ¡°But if you insist on defying fate,¡± he continued, ¡°then don¡¯t blame us for resorting to forceful measures and reducing your sect¡¯s inheritance to ashes.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng¡¯s words, a mix of civility followed by threats, left Zhu Jinyu with an expression of shocked suspicion.


    She did not believe that the Five Elements Sect had mobilized such a show of force just to help Rock Country unify the Eastern Wasteland and suspected it was a pretext to seize their Spirit Vein Mines.


    But the prospect of a Daoist Heart Oath lent some credibility to the claim.


    However, Jiang Zongheng was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, albeit a disciple of Xiao Nanshan, and still lacked adequate stature.


    ¡°Can either True Monarch Fu or Sect Master Chen make this Daoist Heart Oath instead?¡± Zhu Jinyu asked a bit greedily, drawing an angry huff from Fu Zongjue.


    ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck. If you continue to obstruct us, not even Kong Lingling will be able to save you.¡±


    After carefully weighing her own sect¡¯s strength against that of the Five Elements Sect, Zhu Jinyu felt she had no choice but to grit her teeth. But this was too momentous a decision for her to make on her own.


    ¡°Master, what do you think?¡±


    She took two steps back and respectfully inquired of the shadowy figure concealed within a cluster of ice mist.


    Only with Kong Lingling anchoring their forces did she dare to bring out the elite cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, relying on the Large Formation laid out within the Spirit Stone Mine, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with the cultivators of the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Agree to their terms.¡±


    Kong Lingling¡¯s cold voice rose from within the ice mist, and then the mist dispersed, but she had already vanished from her spot.


    Empowered by her Master¡¯s consent, Zhu Jinyu approached the Formation to negotiate terms with Jiang Zongheng, and both sides made their Daoist Heart Oaths.


    The agreement stipulated that the Snow-blowing Palace wouldn¡¯t hinder the unification of the Eastern Wasteland, and the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect wouldn¡¯t encroach upon the Spirit Fields and the mines of the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°Grand Tutor Jiang, once the mortal world is unified, our Sect must also be allowed to accept disciples as we see fit, and you must not obstruct this,¡± she added.


    Jiang Zongheng nodded, agreeing not to strip away this right from Snow-blowing Palace but imposed a condition.


    ¡°It¡¯s limited to Frost Country and Snow Country, and furthermore, if mortal individuals with a Spiritual Root wish to join our Five Elements Sect, you of Snow-blowing Palace must not obstruct them. To do so would be to breach the contract, nullifying the previously made Daoist Heart Oaths,¡± he declared.


    Naturally, Zhu Jinyu disagreed with this statement.


    But Jiang Zongheng would not budge on this point. If the Snow-blowing Palace was unwilling, then henceforth across the Eastern Wasteland, they wouldn¡¯t be allowed to recruit any new disciples.


    After all, the Daoist Heart Oath stated that the Five Elements Sect wouldn¡¯t seize the Spirit Fields and mines of Snow-blowing Palace, but they could still effectively blockade them, preventing them from stepping beyond their sect¡¯s gate.


    Facing the resolute stance of Jiang Zongheng, Zhu Jinyu clenched her teeth, knowing her Master needed more time and could only pretend to agree for now.


    [Just a few more years, once the Holy Son has grown¡­]


    With that thought, Zhu Jinyu accepted Jiang Zongheng¡¯s condition.


    ¡°Sect Master Zhu, from now on, the land of the Eastern Wasteland shall follow the principles of Dao Morale Sect. In the mortal realm, there will be dynasties, and we cultivators shall cultivate in solitude amidst Spirit Veins, hidden from the world,¡± Jiang Zongheng said, invoking the doctrine of Dao Morale Sect, and Zhu Jinyu actually believed that the Five Elements Sect wished to emulate the governance of this Holy Land to accumulate virtue.

    It is said that Dao Morale Sect has had successive Deities because the Sage Ancestor set down the rule that as long as mortal dynasties are at peace, with clear rivers and calm seas, they will continuously be blessed by the five virtues, untouched by calamities, making cultivation breakthroughs almost inevitable.


    However, aside from Dao Morale Sect, other forces that have tried this found that despite having exerted a great deal of effort to support a dynasty, none have seen as much success as Dao Morale Sect, feeling the investment unrewarding.


    Thus, over time, other than Dao Morale Sect, few in the Tianhe Realm have attempted this path.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen has grand ambitions, hoping that our Eastern Wasteland may also bring forth its own Daoist Sage,¡± Zhu Jinyu said, forcing a smile. The Ancestor of Dao Morale Sect was the first Human Race cultivator to achieve Ascension, revered as a Sage.


    In the entire Eastern Region, Dao Morale Sect has produced the most Ascended Monks and boasts the most ancient pedigree, a supreme Holy Land that has never once broken its lineage from ancient times until now.

 Chapter 1299 - Chapter 1299 Chapter 714 Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect_2

    Chapter 1299: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect_2 Chapter 1299: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect_2 ¡°I¡¯ll extend my master¡¯s thanks to Sect Leader Zhu for his auspicious words.¡±


    Jiang Zongheng readily agreed, which inwardly made Zhu Jinyu sneer disdainfully.


    He, Chen Guixian, really wanted to be seen as a Sage!


    He should take a look at what kind of place the Eastern Wilderness is, it¡¯s laughable to think such a person could come from here!


    If here could produce a Sage, it would be more believable for the Five Elements Sect to achieve Divinity Transformation and become a Holy Land!


    Zhu Jinyu¡¯s thoughts were, of course, unknown to Jiang Zongheng. After the contract was reached, the Large Formation blocking their way dissipated, and he immediately commanded Duan Shuyu to lead the army through.


    This Spirit Stone Mine was blocking the advance of the army. Although the cultivators could fly over it, the two hundred thousand-strong force had no such means and could only travel through the mountains, so it was imperative to clear the way.


    This was why Jiang Zongheng was willing to patiently negotiate terms with Zhu Jinyu.


    After all, if they really wanted to attack the Rank-3 Large Formation that the Snow-blowing Palace was guarding with full force, the people here might not be able to break through it.


    Even if they could capture it, they would likely lose a third of their cultivators.


    For Jiang Zongheng, this was an extremely unprofitable matter, since many of these people were pillars of their respective major families and Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    If they died, a cultivator family would basically decline and perish.


    This would greatly increase Jiang Zongheng¡¯s karmic burden.


    Moreover, there were several Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners from the sect accompanying the army, and the death of any one of them would be an irreplaceable loss for their Wood Vein.


    Thus, reaching an agreement with Zhu Jinyu and resolving the issue without bloodshed was a significant success for Jiang Zongheng.


    ¡°Grand Tutor Jiang, let me leave Sister Xue Ting here to coordinate the following matters with you, while I take the rest of the sect disciples back to the sect,¡± said Zhu Jinyu to the elegantly bearing Foundation Establishment female cultivator not far away. Then she cupped her fists towards Jiang Zongheng.


    Standing by her side, Xue Ting blinked, clearly not expecting this.


    ¡°Sect Leader Zhu, there¡¯s another matter. Our sect¡¯s Yu Lian brother sent a letter from our master to your sect but has lost contact. If you have detained him, please release him immediately,¡± Jiang Zongheng interrupted Zhu Jinyu with another concern.


    ¡°Grand Tutor Jiang, I¡¯m not aware of such matter. After Brother Yu from your sect delivered the letter, I personally saw him off from the Snow-blowing Palace. I swear I did not detain him,¡± Zhu Jinyu replied, furrowing her brow. Since she hadn¡¯t done such a thing, she boldly took the Daoist Heart Oath, which left Jiang Zongheng no choice but to sigh and nod in acceptance.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Sect Leader Zhu. Brother Yu Lian is a fellow disciple who joined the sect with our master. His disappearance is of great concern to our master.¡±


    At this moment, Zhu Jinyu¡¯s ears twitched slightly, as if she heard something. The flying Ice Boats that belonged to the Snow-blowing Palace within the Spirit Stone Mine started to activate, as she began commanding the Foundation Establishment and Qi Practitioners who previously guarded the Spirit Stone Mine to board the ships.


    ¡°Xue Ting, I¡¯ll leave this place in your hands.¡±


    Xue Ting could only gently nod, accepting the responsibility.


    She guessed that Zhu Jinyu valued her former connection with the Divine Wood Sect and the Xiao Nanshan Lineage; maybe having her mediate would reduce friction between the two sides.


    ¡°Sect Leader, do you require me to cooperate with the Five Elements Sect and persuade Snow Country¡¯s royal family to surrender?¡±


    Xue Ting asked, believing that since the Snow-blowing Palace had already yielded, it would only make sense to avoid further bloodshed by doing so.


    ¡°No, try to stall the Five Elements Sect and Rock Country¡¯s armies as much as possible to gain some time,¡±


    Zhu Jinyu, however, gave Xue Ting an instruction that made her frown in concern.


    By this time, the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s cultivating army had already boarded the Ice Boats, each lifting into the sky, leaving the area.


    Only the disciples who previously guarded the Spirit Stone Mine remained, now circling around Xue Ting, the Foundation Establishment Elder, bowing respectfully.


    The continuous clip-clop of horse hooves resounded.


    The Rock Country army, led by Duan Shuyu, began to pass through the Spirit Stone Mine in troops.


    Only after the entire two hundred thousand-strong army passed through and entered the territory of Snow Country did Jiang Zongheng finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    Although he had made a Daoist Heart Oath with Zhu Jinyu, the two were not the highest-ranking figures in their sects, and Golden Core Cultivators could renege at any time.


    At most, it would mean the sacrifice of the two individuals who had made the agreement.


    After the army¡¯s safe passage, Fu Zongjue, floating mid-air, also nodded lightly and was able to relax.


    Xie Yuntian and the others around him felt somewhat regretful not to have clashed with the Snow-blowing Palace.


    It seems that from this mission, they could only earn the most basic contributions.


    ¡°Should we go look for Yu Lian? Before he joined the sect, he was a disciple of the Silver Sky Sect. If we investigate the ruins in Snow Country, perhaps we could discover some clues,¡± said Yue Zutao suddenly.


    Although the mission posted by Spirit Treasure Pavilion was initiated by him, after the Snow-blowing Palace made its move and the army was intercepted, the follow-up had been modified by Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader.


    The mission had turned into assisting Rock Country in unifying the Eastern Wilderness.


    They needed to conquer Snow Country, Wind Country, and the Summer Country and Flower Country under the control of Back to Sky Valley. Only then would the mission be considered complete, and the contributions tallied.


    Apart from that mission, Chen Mobai had also posted the task of finding the missing Yu Lian.


    Since the Snow-blowing Palace had retreated and there wouldn¡¯t be any assurance in taking down Snow Country, Yue Zutao thought of investigating while still within Snow Country.


    Originally according to his plan, he would have exclusively taken on the mission.


    But the matter of him taking on missions alone had already caused minor complaints from Xie Yuntian and others, and since it hadn¡¯t been completed, Yue Zutao felt it was better to share the task of finding Yu Lian with his fellow disciples.


    Mainly because he had estimated that his sect contributions should be exactly fifth place, enough to exchange for a Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    As long as he maintained the same pace as the others present, such as Xie Yuntian, he could wait for the result he desired.


    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, but I fear that when we leave, the Rock Country¡¯s army will be blocked by cultivators, won¡¯t they?¡± Quan Shanlin hesitated, but Fu Zongjue simply waved his hand, indicating he would keep an eye on the army.


    ¡°Thank you, Master,¡± said Quan Shanlin, immediately delighted. He bowed to Fu Zongjue, and the others like Xie Yuntian did the same.


    Then, the four Foundation Establishment Completion Cultivators transformed into Escaping Light, vanishing into the sky.


    Although they were down by four, with Fu Zongjue and Meng Hong there to back them up, the Cultivator Families within Snow Country did not dare to make a move.


    However, what surprised Jiang Zongheng a bit was that the resistance from Snow Country was somewhat fierce.


    But, with Duan Shuyu¡¯s unmatched military tactics, and without interference from cultivators, the army he led was like a hot knife through butter, quickly capturing the three most crucial cities.


    In just a month, they arrived at the walls of the Snow Country¡¯s Royal Capital.


    ¡­


    The ruins of the Silver Sky Sect.


    Atop a snow-covered mountain in Snow Country, there lay a Second Order High Grade Spirit Vein.


    Unfortunately, after the annihilation of the Silver Sky Sect, it had been deemed an ominous place. To this day, only a group of Loose Cultivators, unaware of the details, resided here.


    When Yue Zutao and the others arrived, the powerful Spiritual Power Fluctuations instantaneously made these few Loose Cultivators tremble with fear. They hopped onto their extremely crude bamboo-horse Magic Artifacts, trying to sneak away down the mountain.


    But they were stopped.


    Soon, six Loose Cultivators with the highest Cultivation Level at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation were bound by Yue Zutao using wooden sticks and captured together.


    ¡°Have you seen this person?¡±


    Yue Zutao took out a portrait of Yu Lian, and quickly the Loose Cultivators all nodded.


    ¡°Some days ago, those Immortal Masters came to this place. He was on the highest mountain peak for three incense sticks¡¯ time, then warned us not to go there.¡±


    ¡°And then?¡±


    ¡°Then he flew away.¡±


    ¡°Did you see which direction he went to?¡±


    ¡°The east.¡±

    After asking these questions, Yue Zutao and his group went to the mountain peak.


    They soon discovered traces left by Yu Lian, indicating that Zhu Jinyu hadn¡¯t lied.


    After delivering the message, he indeed completely left the Snow-blowing Palace and then came here to offer sacrifices to his deceased Silver Sky Sect fellow disciples.


    The four then flew eastward.


    It didn¡¯t take them long to discover a battlefield.

    Chapter 1300: Chapter 715: Nine-Headed Great Saint (Bonus chapter for 26,400 monthly votes) Chapter 1300: Chapter 715: Nine-Headed Great Saint (Bonus chapter for 26,400 monthly votes) ¡°Yu Lian¡¯s resistance doesn¡¯t seem too intense.¡±


    Xie Yuntian, who served as the head of the Sword Training division, had extensive experience in Magic Duels. After inspecting the battlefield, he quickly identified a doubtful point.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that the opponent¡¯s strength is far too great, making his resistance seem feeble.¡±


    However, Zheng Deming presented a different opinion.


    Having killed for nearly a century in the Cloud Dream Ze, he was even more familiar with various traces of battle.


    ¡°Could it be Kong Lingling?!¡±


    Upon hearing his words, the name surfaced in the minds of the remaining three.


    The only one they could think of, who could render Yu Lian ¡ª a cultivator in the midst of Foundation Establishment, who had been by Chen Mobai¡¯s side for many years and received Sword Dao teachings ¡ª unable to resist, was none other than this Golden Core Cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°There¡¯s a demonic qi of Earth and Fire Spiritual Power at the scene. It must be a top-ranked demonic beast.¡±


    But after Zheng Deming employed a secret technique and re-examined the traces of battle, he came to another astonishing conclusion.


    ¡°The top-ranked demon beasts in the Eastern Wilderness should have been cleared out by our major factions. Could it be one that slipped over from the Land of Ruins?¡±


    Quan Shanlin furrowed his brows. Although the Snow-blowing Palace wasn¡¯t as strong as their own factions, they had been operating on this territory for thousands of years; it seemed impossible for high-tier demon beasts to still exist.


    ¡°Let¡¯s search the vicinity. Junior Brother Yu Lian¡¯s Soul Lantern hasn¡¯t shattered yet. We hope to rescue him before the demonic beast consumes him.¡±


    Yue Zutao made a suggestion, which none of the other three opposed.


    Soon, Zheng Deming discovered traces of demonic qi that hadn¡¯t yet dissipated in the snow, indicating that the beast had captured Yu Lian and fled in a certain direction.


    Could it be the beast¡¯s hidden lair?


    After realizing this, Zheng Deming didn¡¯t act rashly; instead, he immediately called the other three over.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a third-order demonic beast, the four of us might not be able to take it down.¡±


    Although Xie Yuntian was very confident in his combat abilities, he knew that the gap in major realms could not be bridged simply by numbers.


    ¡°It could also be a second-order demonic beast at perfection. After all, Junior Brother Yu Lian is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He couldn¡¯t handle such a demonic beast.¡±


    Hoping for the best, Quan Shanlin proposed a possibility. However, the others, being cautious, no longer planned to charge in undeterred, knowing the enemy might be a third-order demonic beast.


    ¡°We should notify True Person Fu and Elder Brother Meng.¡±


    The only plan now was to gather nearby Golden Core forces.


    Once Xie Yuntian spoke, his suggestion was unanimously approved.


    ¡­


    Northern Abyss City.


    Chen Mobai had waited a long time and finally received a visit from Ye Qing!


    ¡°Oh, to think that there¡¯s a Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering hidden in the Land of Ruins!¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked upon hearing Ye Qing state the purpose of his visit.


    The Demon Sect of Beast Gathering was also one of the eighteen sects of the Demon Path, initially composed of cultivators who betrayed the Human Race and served the demonic beasts.


    This lineage, which began as ordinary, had at its highest a Nascent Soul old demon until they took in a half-demon.


    The half-demon was born accidentally; his father was an elder from a Human Cultivator family, and his mother was a demon race concubine captured by his father.


    The existence of the half-demon was initially disguised, but as he grew, his half-human, half-demon traits became impossible to hide.


    After the Eastern Emperor Court became aware of this, they immediately sent experts from the Hall of Ten Directions to annihilate his entire family.


    Yet, they allowed the half-demon to escape.


    Rejected by the Human Race, the half-demon fled East Land, journeying to East Li, where he was discovered by an elder of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering and taken in as a disciple.


    The motivations of a Magic Daoist Monk were naturally nefarious.


    The half-demon endured all manner of experiments; potent bloodlines from various demonic tribes were infused into him to see if his human body could endure and refine them. The aim was to allow Human Race cultivators to maintain their rapid cultivation speeds while also harnessing the Demon Tribe¡¯s Innate Divine Abilities.


    Finally, after surviving repeated near-death transformations, a peculiar balance was established in the half-demon¡¯s body between the eight royal demon beast bloodlines infused and his own mother¡¯s tribe¡¯s blood. He then evolved into a nine-headed, nine-tailed Demon God Body.


    After the metamorphosis, the half-demon immediately devoured his own master.


    Three hundred years later, the half-demon¡¯s Demon God Body reached perfection, and he also cultivated the Demonic Cultivation of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering to the unprecedented Spirit Transformation Stage. Combined with nine different Innate Abilities, he possessed extensive Divine Skills and boundless Mana!


    Upon achieving perfection in his cultivation, he proclaimed himself the Nine-Headed Great Saint, united the Demon Path with the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts, and began a protracted war with the Eastern Emperor Court.


    The Human Emperor led the charge in person, and both sides faced off at the border for eight hundred years.


    In the final epic battle, the Nine-Headed Great Saint unleashed all nine Great Divine Powers. Although he killed the current Human Emperor, he was also beheaded by Huashen Zhenjun of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect with the Tai Peacekeeping Sword and fell into the vast unknown.


    This battle was also the most ferocious decisive battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race!


    Aside from the death in battle of that generation¡¯s Human Emperor, the Eastern Emperor Court also lost two Hall Masters of Divinity Transformation from the Hall of Ten Directions and a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) of a Holy Land fell.


    On the side of the Demon Race, three of the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts vanished forever, and two Demon Dao Gods perished in this battle. Almost half of the top-ranked cultivators in the Eastern Region died on this frontier battlefield.


    That was why the heritage of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, even on the side of East Li and the Demon Race Royal Courts, caused those who heard of it to pale in fear.


    No one wanted to experience such a dreadful war ever again.


    However, the Nine-Headed Great Saint of that time was unanimously acknowledged as first in Divine Powers, first in physical strength, and first in the robustness of Mana.


    Everyone desired the inheritance he left behind.


    Every time it emerged, it stirred up a storm of blood and gore in the Tianhe Realm.


    Although it was uncertain if the Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering had the inheritance of the Nine Dragons Great Saint, Jiutian Dangmo Sect always adopted the policy of better to kill wrongfully than to let go.


    After all, the Nine-Headed Great Saint had been slain by their ancestors, and if another Nine-Headed Great Saint were to emerge in the situation where the Eastern Emperor Court had already scattered like stars and clouds, they, Jiutian Dangmo Sect, would certainly be the first to be targeted for revenge.


    ¡°Do we know the cultivation level of this devil cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering?¡± Chen Mobai asked immediately after realizing the gravity of the situation.


    ¡°He used to be a Nascent Soul, but Elder from our sect had slain his original body. Now hiding in the Land of Ruins, is his pre-refined Heavenly Demon Avatar; his true body awoke and was reborn after death. It¡¯s not clear what tail he is following, but after chopping off ninety percent of his Essence, Divine Sense, and True Spirit, it¡¯s impossible for him to re-condense a Nascent Soul.¡±


    After hearing Ye Qing¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    He had not expected that on this side of the Tianhe Realm, there would also be something akin to transmigration and reincarnation techniques similar to those of dismemberment.


    However, it seemed not as precise and perfect as the Antiquity Daoist System from the Immortal Gates, as the reborn Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering could only cultivate up to Perfect Core Formation.


    No wonder Jiutian Dangmo Sect had sent out Ye Qing.


    To someone like him, hailed as a prodigy, there were no longer any enemies in the Golden Core Realm.


    Indeed, only a Devil Cultivator who once was a Nascent Soul could make him feel pressure on his sword.


    This mission might just be his last tempering before Nascent Soul Formation.


    Realizing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression grew solemn, and he spoke righteously, ¡°If there is anything I can help with, please just ask, True Person Ye. Our Five Elements Sect may not be very powerful, but here in the Eastern Wilderness, our words still carry weight.¡±


    ¡°I was about to ask for Sect Master Chen¡¯s help. The Land of Ruins is vast, with many places even retaining ancient topographies and home to many groups of Demonic Beasts. Although I fear not, I would rather not waste too much Spiritual Power before I confront the Devil Cultivator, so I hope Sect Master Chen can lead the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to escort me for part of the journey.¡±


    Ye Qing came today precisely to seek help, and with Chen Mobai speaking, he seized the opportunity to lay out his request.


    ¡°I will issue a decree to gather an army of cultivators from the Five Elements Sect to escort True Person Ye.¡±


    Chen Mobai inwardly sighed, knowing he couldn¡¯t avoid this request. When Jiutian Dangmo Sect asks for assistance, no sect in the entire Tianhe Realm would dare decline.


    After all, this was a task of demon eradication.


    If declined, who knows if this Holy Land might use that refusal as an excuse to teach a harsh lesson later.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, may I know how many cultivators your sect can dispatch? I will bear the cost of the Spirit Stones.¡±


    Fortunately, Ye Qing also knew the rules well. Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s straightforward agreement, he immediately showed a slight smile, indicating he would sponsor all expenses of this escort mission.


    ¡°I need to preside over Northern Abyss City, and recently there¡¯s been a surge of Demonic Beasts in Cloud Dream Marsh, so Disciple Nu Jiang and two Golden Core powerhouses of my Wood Vein can¡¯t leave either. Brother Mo is in seclusion, and Fu Shixiong is also in Snow Country overseeing the unification of the Mortal World¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately laid out the facts for Ye Qing, and after calculating, realized that only Zhou Ye and Sheng Zhaoxi of the Earth Vein could act.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there also True Person Zhou Shengqing in your sect?¡±


    Ye Qing suddenly interjected with a question.


    ¡°Brother Zhou attempted to expedite his Nascent Soul breakthrough last time and rushed too eagerly; he¡¯s still recovering and truly unable to make a move.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately offered the excuse he had ready.


    Considering Ye Qing¡¯s status, he definitely wouldn¡¯t know Zhou Shengqing¡¯s situation. It was probably Yu Hai from Sun Bathing Sea who had informed him, possibly to use Ye Qing¡¯s mouth to probe whether Zhou Shengqing was dead or alive.


    After all, Zhou Shengqing had previously made a show of Golden Core-strength with his reverse Longevity Technique.


    But it had been many years, and he had always been in seclusion without showing his face, which had started to arouse the suspicions of the neighboring great powers paying attention to the Five Elements Sect.


    It was convenient now to use Ye Qing to probe the situation.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s response was meticulous, expressing that Zhou Shengqing was still alive but injured; if he showed Nascent Soul strength after coming out of seclusion, it meant he had recovered.


    Ye Qing didn¡¯t mind, as in his view, it was practically impossible for Zhou Shengqing, a Golden Core Cultivator who grew up in the Eastern Wilderness, to achieve Nascent Soul.

    ¡°After the army is prepared, please notify me, Sect Master Chen. I am staying at Wu Business Pavilion.¡±


    After saying these words, Ye Qing turned around to leave.


    ¡°True Person Ye, I greatly admire East Land and wonder if I could have the honor to ask you about the local customs and culture of East Land.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately called out to him; this was a genuine core figure from the central regions of the Eastern Region, a cultivator from the Eastern Earth Holy Land.


    He just so happened to want to inquire about the ¡°First Origin Dao Palace!¡±

 Chapter 1301 - Chapter 1301 Chapter 716 The Terrifying Strength of East Land

    Chapter 1301: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land Chapter 1301: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land East Earth Four Great Holy Lands, two Sects and two Palaces!


    Among these, Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, and Dao Morale Sect are all superpowers with long-standing heritages that had survived through several cataclysms.


    Only the First Origin Dao Palace is a recent newcomer.


    Its reliance lies on the newly Ascended Great Cultivator, True Lord Yuan.


    According to the standards of a Holy Land, without a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) presiding, it would not take long to decline.


    This decline period depends on the foundation left by a Holy Land Spirit Transformation True Monarch before their disappearance.


    Jiutian Dangmo Sect also experienced a dark era without a Divinity Transformation master, but with its twenty-eight Nascent Soul Cultivators at the time, it remained one of the most pinnacle forces in the Eastern Region, and no one dared to provoke it.


    Compared to the other Three Great Sacred Lands, the foundation of First Origin Dao Palace seemed slightly insufficient. When True Lord Yuan ascended, he only nurtured eight Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    However, upon his Ascendance, he left behind an incarnation of his Primordial Spirit, a genuinely powerful Divinity Transformation force.


    Although it was exposed by Ming Zun four hundred years ago, now no one can be sure if this Ascended Monk¡¯s incarnation is still around.


    Thus, even today, First Origin Dao Palace still remains among the Holy Lands.


    Having heard what Ye Qing said, Chen Mobai¡¯s face could not conceal his shock.


    Although he had long known that the Eastern Wilderness, being the essence of the entire Eastern Region, would have an incredible number of High-Order Cultivators, the actual knowledge still left him immensely shocked.


    Just one Holy Land almost compares to an entire Immortal Gate.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, since the Primordial Ancestral Master passed away in meditation, there has not been another Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    While in the East Land, within one Holy Land, there are double-digit Nascent Soul practitioners; no wonder it has been passed down for over ten thousand years, with practically each era having a Divinity Transformation presence.


    Even if occasionally a Divinity Transformation ascended, such a profound legacy was enough to sustain the Holy Land until the appearance of the next Divinity Transformation.


    They must still develop low-key to avoid exposing traces of the Immortal Gate.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai, who had become somewhat adrift due to his recent unification of the Eastern Wilderness, once again calmed down.


    In this world of infinite resources, with the inheritance of an Immortal Gate, he could create countless possibilities.


    If Nascent Soul is not enough, then aim for Divinity Transformation!


    Chen Mobai, who initially planned to make his move after reaching Nascent Soul, once again raised his standards for himself.


    He wanted to build the Five Elements Sect into a Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness. Although this place was a bit remote, it at least avoided both the Righteous and Demonic factions of East Land and the Human and Demon Courts.


    Perhaps, if the Demon Path and Demon Court became powerful and East Land could not hold, he could preserve the seeds of the Righteous Path and Human Race here in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Having given himself reasons to continue to steadily develop in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai¡¯s originally shocked emotions gradually began to settle.


    ¡°True Person Ye, I must be honest with you, our Five Elements Sect¡¯s Primordial Ancestral Master originated from First Origin Dao Palace, and his greatest wish before passing away in meditation was to have his spirit tablet returned to First Origin Dao Palace, which is why I sought your knowledge,¡± Chen Mobai shared the information he had previously heard from Zhou Shengqing. The Primordial Ancestral Master, with his hallmark Primordial True Qi, dominated the Eastern Region, and although he didn¡¯t tell everyone that he was a direct disciple of True Lord Yuan, virtually all the top forces knew this detail.


    It¡¯s just unfortunate that True Lord Yuan¡¯s disciples were the second generation patriarchs of First Origin Dao Palace.


    Now, the most senior Supreme Elder in First Origin Dao Palace is already of the sixth generation, and when meeting the Primordial, even he must address him as Ancestral Master.


    In the Tianhe Realm here, seniority is generally based on Cultivation Level, but the status of the Primordial is so high that not addressing him properly is out of the question.


    Thus, First Origin Dao Palace came up with a solution, trying their utmost to nurture the Primordial to Nascent Soul and then expelled the Primordial Ancestral Master to the Eastern Wilderness to establish a branch with the pretext of guarding the Land of Dragon Prosperity left by True Lord Yuan.


    This is how the Five Elements Sect came to be.


    The Eastern Wilderness is where the Primordial Ancestral Master was born and had gone to the Eastern Earth One Yuan Dao Palace to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots only after acquiring the One Yuan Heritage.


    Being proud and lofty in spirit, the Primordial Ancestral Master simply did not stay when the First Origin Dao Palace did not retain him; he decisively chose to return to his roots in glory.


    Latter, with his Primordial True Qi, he dominated the Eastern Region and founded the glorious era of the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    It was just a pity that this story did not end in Perfection.


    Originally, according to the Primordial Ancestral Master¡¯s plans, he could have used the Secret Realm left by True Lord Yuan in the Eastern Wilderness and the Longevity Sect¡¯s Secret Realm in Giant Tree Ridge among other opportunities, to Ascend to become Immortals.


    Unfortunately, luck was not in his favor, unable to wait for the Five-Colored Immortal Seed, and his Primordial Dao Fruit did not fully form.


    In the end, he ventured into the Yellow Springs Path in a final attempt, only to lose his life in the process.

    ¡°The Venerable Li Zhongji was able to receive True Lord Yuan¡¯s heritage, which shows his Qualification of Deification. It¡¯s just a pity that the elders of First Origin Dao Palace were too concerned with their prestige, otherwise, there might be a genuine Huashen Zhenjun presiding now,¡± said Ye Qing. Although he was a Taoist Child of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, he was not arrogant. He had come to the Eastern Wilderness after investigating the major powers in the area in advance. As the dominant force in the Eastern Wilderness, the Five Elements Sect naturally became a subject of focus, and Li Zhongji was the layman¡¯s name of the Primordial Ancestral Master.


    The initial tolling of the Primordial Clock in his identity as the inheritor of True Lord Yuan also caused a huge stir in the East Land.


    Within Jiutian Dangmo Sect, the records regarding First Origin Dao Palace also dedicated a separate volume to the Primordial Ancestral Master, Li Zhongji.


    Although Chen Mobai is currently the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, his knowledge of the Primordial Ancestral Master truly paled in comparison to that of Ye Qing.


    After all, the Primordial Ancestral Master¡¯s expulsion to the Eastern Wilderness was considered a disgrace so he never spoke in detail to his disciples about his cultivation and learning at the First Origin Dao Palace.

 Chapter 1302 - Chapter 1302 Chapter 716 The Terrifying Strength of East

    Chapter 1302: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land_2 Chapter 1302: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land_2 You should know that even within the First Origin Dao Palace, those who could cultivate the Primordial True Qi were very few.


    This was also why, when Li Zhongji unexpectedly emerged, it caused both concern and excitement among those from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect and others.


    Their concern was that another True God Transformation might be born in the First Origin Dao Palace, and their excitement came from the possibility of gaining another mainstay for the righteous path.


    Regrettably, the subsequent developments confused the leaders of these holy lands.


    In order to support Li Zhongji, the First Origin Dao Palace requested the Dao Morale Sect to refine a batch of Coagulation Infant Pills, but after the pills were successfully refined, they inexplicably expelled Li Zhongji to the Eastern Wilderness.


    Though the Primordial Ancestral Master created a great name in the other four regions beyond the lands of the East, how could those places compare to the core resources of the Eastern Region? Eventually, he stopped at the Nascent Soul Realm and passed away in meditation.


    According to the First Origin Dao Palace, they were tempering the Primordial Ancestral Master Li Zhongji according to the standards of a Taoist Saintess.


    But most people in the Eastern Lands believed that the sudden appearance of Li Zhongji caused a huge upheaval within the First Origin Dao Palace and, to prevent this wave from splitting the holy land, all the parties decided to send him to the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, enough respect was shown to the ancestral master, who was a True Lord Yuan, that a batch of Coagulation Infant Pills was specially refined for him before he was exiled.


    It was because of this incident that the various powers of the Eastern Lands speculated that the incarnation of the Primordial Spirit left by True Lord Yuan must have vanished after depleting its strength in a battle with Ming Zun.


    Otherwise, no one would dare to treat Li Zhongji this way.


    But these details were often considered mere tales.


    Ye Qing saw this information while gathering materials about the Eastern Wilderness and mentioned it to Chen Mobai upon his asking today.


    Deep down, Ye Qing still felt a great pity.


    After all, even in the Eastern Lands, the Primordial Dao Fruit was one of the most supreme Divine Techniques.


    If Li Zhongji had stayed in the Eastern Lands and received careful nurturing from the First Origin Dao Palace, he really might have succeeded in the Way of God Transformation.


    The Jiutian Dangmo Sect always hoped for the cultivators of the Eastern Lands to be as strong as possible, given that their sect stood as a banner for exorcising demons; if the Eastern Lands fell short in strength and the Demon Path invaded, they would be the first to suffer.


    ¡°I hope that one day, I can return the tablet of Master Li to the chamber of ancestors in the First Origin Dao Palace, placing it beneath that of True Lord Yuan.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai echoed Ye Qing¡¯s words.


    He showcased his identity as a legitimate successor of the Five Elements and the direct lineage of the Primordial Qi.


    Primarily, he was thinking if he, too, had cultivated the Primordial True Qi, whether he could also visit the First Origin Dao Palace someday and see if True Lord Yuan, before his ascension, had left behind any heritage of spiritual transformation or even higher.


    After all, although True Lord Yuan originated from the Eastern Wilderness and was a descendant of pioneer cultivators, it was only after moving to the Eastern Lands and interacting with the True Monarchs of holy lands there that he truly accomplished the Great Tao and found his path after his Divine Transformation.


    The transmission of Primordial techniques that the Primordial Ancestral Master received in the Eastern Wilderness only went as far as Divine Transformation.


    More advanced techniques, even those for ascension, were all held in the First Origin Dao Palace!


    ¡°Previously at the Sky Meal Building, I noticed Sect Leader Chen seemed to have cultivated Primordial True Qi. Given your age and realm, you stand a good chance to contest for the position of Taoist Child within the First Origin Dao Palace.¡±


    Ye Qing added another piece of information.


    At that time, he assumed Chen Mobai was in a difficult position against Shen Shanqing, making him promptly activate his sword.


    Having clashed with the various holy lands¡¯ Taoist Children and Saintesses in the Eastern Lands, he was very familiar with Primordial True Qi and recognized it immediately.


    ¡°Far from it, I merely refined a strand of Primordial True Qi left behind by Ancestor Li, which is not the same as cultivating it on my own efforts. I do not deserve the position of Taoist Child.¡±


    Aware of the terrifying strength of the holy lands in the Eastern Lands, Chen Mobai did not wish to be too conspicuous and preferred to keep cultivating in the Eastern Wilderness, maintaining his usual low profile in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, he seemed to underestimate the value of the Primordial True Qi.


    ¡°In the history of the First Origin Dao Palace, only a handful of individuals cultivated Primordial True Qi from their own bitter cultivation. Those who became Taoist Children and Saintesses had all refined the Primordial True Qi of their predecessors early on, seizing every advantage to compete for resources for Core Formation and even Divine Transformation within the holy lands. But the only ones who have ever rung the Primordial Clock, apart from the Second Palace Master of the First Origin Dao Palace, was the revered Li Zhongji.¡±


    The Primordial Clock was forged by True Lord Yuan before his ascension, gathering the essences of the Five Metals from the Tianhe Realm and traveled far to Nan Zhou to refine it in collaboration with another great moral figure who was also about to ascend.


    It stands as one of the scarce Sixth Order Magical Artifacts in the Eastern Region, rivalling the Tai Peacekeeping Sword of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect!


    Above all, Li Zhongji was supposed to be a favored son of heaven just like Ye Qing.


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I really want to visit the East Land and see if I can ring the Primordial Clock.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai also longed for it.


    A Sixth Order Magical Artifact!


    Does the Immortal Gate have one?


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen plans to undergo Divinity Transformation or even Ascendance in the future, it would be best to come to the East Land and join the First Origin Dao Palace.¡±


    Although Ye Qing was a Saint Land Taoist Child, he didn¡¯t possess the arrogance typical of major sects. Instead, he was very talkative. After this exchange with Chen Mobai, he felt that the young Sect Master Chen might be capable of Nascent Soul Formation in the future, so he kindly reminded him.


    ¡°Oh, are there many resources for Divinity Transformation in the East Land?¡±


    ¡°Definitely more than in the Eastern Wilderness, at least the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill that aids in Divinity Transformation can only be concocted by the Dao Morale Sect.¡±


    Ye Qing didn¡¯t speak about Ascension, as that was too distant. He only mentioned the most famous elixir from the Eastern Region that could aid in Divinity Transformation.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had heard of this.


    He couldn¡¯t help but yearn from the bottom of his heart. After all, the Immortal Gate also had similar alchemy recipes, but unfortunately, the most precious main ingredients had long been exhausted.


    Nowadays, one could only pin their hopes on techniques like the Shocking God Sonata.


    It was for this reason that, knowing about the Blooming Moment, Leading Star Ancestor decided to personally intervene, not hesitating to bully the weaker and pry open the mouth of Master Huakai to understand all the secrets of this Forbidden Technique.


    ¡°Definitely¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, harboring aspirations for the East Land, escorted Ye Qing out of the grand hall.


    Then, he called over E Yun and personally arranged the matters of escorting the army of cultivators.


    To lead the team, at least a Gold Core was necessary. The Five Elements Sect had many in their ranks capable of Golden Core battle, but after counting, there were only two available, regrettably, both Sheng Zhaoxi and Zhou Ye declined.


    Zhou Ye¡¯s refusal was expected since he would not leave Hunyuan Immortal City. Chen Mobai had initially thought that he might give in due to the renown of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, but now it seemed that this master of the Earth Vein still had a clear mind.


    He guessed that even the emperor himself couldn¡¯t make him leave the Hunyuan Immortal City before his time of Nascent Soul Formation.


    And Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s refusal was because she was at a crucial moment in enhancing her Lifespan Artifact.


    With the Rank-4 Spirit Material acquired through Chen Mobai, she planned to boost her Artifact Refining skills to the fourth rank in one go.


    Besides her own Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring, there was also the Angry Sea Bow from Nu Jiang that needed to be leveled up; she really couldn¡¯t spare time.


    Chen Mobai showed his understanding.


    After all, if Sheng Zhaoxi¡¯s Artifact Refining skills could rise one more level, it would be a great boon for their Five Elements Sect.


    If only there were also a Rank-4 Array Master and Alchemist.


    ¡°Junior Brother, why don¡¯t I lead the team?¡±


    In the grand hall of Northern Abyss City, Zhou Shengqing, who had just returned from Wind Rain Hamlet, volunteered after knowing his difficulty.


    ¡°Brother, your strength needs to be revealed at a critical moment. Plus, I just told Ye Qing that you¡¯re in seclusion, I can¡¯t immediately contradict myself.¡±

    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, quickly deciding to lead the team himself.


    After all, having mastered the Underworld Array, he could escape any dangerous situation at any time.


    It would also be a good opportunity to gauge the capabilities of a Saint Land Taoist Child and assess the level of the East Land¡¯s Golden Core Cultivators.


    Moreover, he could use the time to conduct a small-scale drill with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.


    After all, he planned to utilize this group, during Perfect Core Formation, to prematurely experience the power of Nascent Soul Formation.

 Chapter 1303 - Chapter 1303 Chapter 717 Entering the Ruins for the First

    Chapter 1303: Chapter 717: Entering the Ruins for the First Time Chapter 1303: Chapter 717: Entering the Ruins for the First Time Please have Zhou Shengqing stay behind to preside over the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to transfer personnel, and because a large number of elite cultivators had already been dispatched to support the Wind Rain Hamlet and the Five Elements Meridians, Chen Mobai did not ask for many this time.


    Upon allocation, it was only two Foundation Establishment Practitioners from each vein, and a hundred Qi Practitioners.


    But he had requirements for these practitioners.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners had to be proficient in the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, and the one hundred Qi Practitioners should be evenly distributed among the early, mid, and late phases, preferably young and talented, so he could offer guidance when leading the team should time permit.


    Of course, Chen Mobai was accustomed to thinking up a grand reason whenever he moved his subordinates.


    This time¡¯s reason was to prepare to develop the Ruins.


    With the Eastern Wilderness almost entirely under control, if the Five Elements Sect were to continue expanding, it would have to look beyond the Eastern Wilderness.


    After the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s retreat, even with some hindrance in secret, Jiang Zongheng still swiftly led the Rock Country¡¯s grand army to capture Snow Country.


    The subsequent Wind Country, although the royal family was reluctant and many local powers attempted to use their geographic advantage to preserve their wealth and status, succumbed to the overwhelming Rock Country¡¯s grand army within just ten short days, with many Wind Country cultivator families defecting.


    After capturing Frost, Snow, and Wind Countries, the Rock Country¡¯s grand army did not rest but directly, under Duan Shuyu¡¯s leadership, advanced southward towards the Summer Country, home to Back to Sky Valley.


    Originally, Jiang Zongheng was prepared for a battle with the cultivators of Back to Sky Valley.


    Unexpectedly, Back to Sky Valley sent He Jintong over, who swiftly reached the same kind of agreement with them as the Snow-blowing Palace had.


    After all, the foundation of Back to Sky Valley was the Spirit Veins and medicinal fields scattered everywhere.


    Even without mundane power, as long as they still controlled the land, they had the chance to rise again in the future.


    Moreover, compared to the Snow-blowing Palace, Back to Sky Valley was confident it could attract people with Spiritual Roots from the mundane world with better conditions to join their sect.


    Another most crucial reason was that Yan Shaoyin was currently wholeheartedly committed to refining the Infant-Feeding Elixir, preparing for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    For this, as long as the Five Elements Sect was not overly excessive, concessions could be made.


    Once he achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± everything could be demanded back from the Five Elements Sect, with interest.


    After realizing this, Yan Shaoyin immediately sent He Jintong to negotiate the contract with Jiang Zongheng.


    However, although Back to Sky Valley conceded, the royal family of the Summer Country still did not want to give up their centuries-old foundation, and, with the assistance of their ally Flower Country, they were putting up a fierce resistance.


    In response, Jiang Zongheng did not directly move to destroy the two countries.


    Because the people from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild, worried that a great war among the mundane could damage the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Flower Country, had already come to visit the battlefield.


    Jiang Zongheng was negotiating with the people from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai also granted him full authority; Summer Country had to be taken, but for Flower Country, out of consideration for the Star Heaven Dao Sect, it could be spared.


    This was also the agreement he reached with Lou Xuelong, but how to allocate and arrange it specifically still needed to be discussed by those below.


    However, the trend of unifying the Eastern Wilderness had already been spotted by all cultivators.


    Everyone thought this was the prelude to the Five Elements Sect¡¯s bottom-up plan to seize all resources in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, it was foreseeable that the resources of the Five Elements Sect would surge, so when the documents with Chen Mobai¡¯s signature reached the Five Elements Meridians, many practitioners actively applied to join his Ruins exploration team.


    Apart from wishing to be noticed by Chen Mobai, they also hoped to receive guidance from this well-known Great Sage and Good Teacher of the Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, the listing of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill had caused a stir in Wood Vein, and all Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the remaining four veins, hoping to be eligible for the next share of refined elixirs, were all looking for excuses.


    This time Chen Mobai took the initiative to shake up the personnel, and he himself was leading the team, causing a small scale of internal competition within the Five Elements Meridians to gain this opportunity.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the four veins who finally came over gave Chen Mobai a bit of a surprise.


    Among the people from Earth Vein was momentarily the former Sect Leader Chun Yusu, as well as Kong Shanxu, one Foundation Establishment Completion and one Foundation Establishment Late Phase, the two deepest in cultivation next to Zhou Ye.


    The two from Fire Vein were no less impressive, Tan Rong, and another aged practitioner at Foundation Establishment Completion, named Zhu Xicheng, the latter reportedly wishing to attempt Core Formation before the end of his life, hoping for guidance from Chen Mobai.

    From Metal Vein came acquaintances as well, Ning Leshan and Ban Zhaodan.


    Ning Leshan was also close to Foundation Establishment Completion, and if the next batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills were to be shared with the Five Elements Meridians, he would be Metal Vein¡¯s most likely candidate.


    Ban Zhaodan, once a part of the Five-Colored Immortal Seed, was even more talented than Ning Leshan. However, he had spent a long time at the stage of Foundation Establishment, reportedly because of his overly forthright character, which led to an infestation of Heart Demons during his first consumption of the Foundation Building Pill, causing him to fail at the stage of Divine Sense emergence.


    After the failure in Foundation Establishment, Ban Zhaodan faced a great deal of derision, nearly drove him to extremity at first¨Cafter all, not everyone can endure such a drastic downfall from grace.


    But after twenty years of stagnation and tempering, his once obstinate Sword Heart began to mature and round out, and during a session of Sword Training, he had an epiphany, letting go of the sword in his hand. Afterwards, he meditated atop a mountain peak for three days and three nights, achieved enlightenment, and completed his Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 1304 - Chapter 1304 Chapter 717 First Entry into the Ruins _2

    Chapter 1304: Chapter 717: First Entry into the Ruins _2 Chapter 1304: Chapter 717: First Entry into the Ruins _2 And Ban Zhaodan, who had returned from his Foundation Establishment, did not seek revenge for the insults and contempt he had received over the past twenty years. He merely picked up a new sword and, after being promoted to Elder, continued to farm and practice swordsmanship on his little hill.


    According to Ban Zhaodan, the reason he was able to hear the path to Foundation Establishment was because he had heard of the exploits of Chen Mobai.


    Then, imitating the behavior of the person with the greatest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wilderness in a millennium, he farmed, trained with his sword, drank tea, and brewed wine in a separate courtyard far from Golden Cliff, living a pastoral life, comprehending the true Sword Dao that belonged to him. Ultimately, he cut away all the dust in his heart and grasped the Sword Heart that was most suitable for him.


    Ban Zhaodan idolized Chen Mobai; he had received word too late when Chen Mobai last came to Golden Cliff to refine Primordial True Qi.


    This time, since he had the chance, he insisted on participating.


    Because of this, an internal sword competition was held at Golden Cliff, and ultimately, Ban Zhaodan outshone the other candidates and arrived at Northern Abyss City along with Ning Leshan.


    In comparison, the doings at Wind Rain Hamlet were rather more typical.


    They were preparing for a major battle with demonic beasts, and so the two Foundation Establishment Practitioners they sent this time, compared to the other three Veins, were ordinary figures.


    On the other hand, the Qi Practitioners from each Vein were essentially all elite.


    After all, there was a saying in the Eastern Wilderness, ¡°With guidance from a Great Sage and Good Teacher, there is no confusion on the path to Foundation Establishment.¡±


    So, when these Qi Practitioners heard the news, their reaction was even more intense than that of the Foundation Establishment Practitioners.


    If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s rule that early, middle, and late Qi Cultivation had to be equally represented, the Qi Practitioners brought by each Vein this time would have all been those in the late stages of their training.


    These past few days, as Practitioners from the Five Veins kept arriving, Northern Abyss City became even more prosperous.


    Chen Mobai called his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, over and, after meeting with the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from each Vein, he left him in charge of commanding the men below on his behalf.


    Another suitable candidate was naturally Yin Qingmei.


    But if she left, the progress of opening up Dark Water would be delayed. Plus, the Ruins are still an unknown realm, and this time, they were going to fight Devil Cultivators, which was somewhat dangerous. So, after consideration, he decided to have her stay behind in the Eastern Wilderness to work on infrastructure.


    In the end, after making a selection within the Sect, Chen Mobai chose Mu Yuan from the large list of names that E Yun had submitted.


    Once all the personnel were decided upon, Chen Mobai did not delay any longer and went straight to Wu Shangge to discuss with Ye Qing about when they would depart.


    Besides them, Yu Hai and Shen Shanqing were also present. By recruiting Loose Cultivators, they had managed to assemble a formidable army of a hundred Cultivators, who would also escort Ye Qing deep into the Ruins.


    Chen Mobai had no objections to this. The Ruins are perilous, and more people meant more strength.


    And the lead for this expedition was Ye Qing.


    The Saint Heir of Jiutian Dangmo Sect was a decisive person and directly opted to leave Northern Abyss City in three days, heading straight for the Ruins.


    Chen Mobai had no objections, and before leaving, Ye Qing gave him a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones as preliminary expenses for this operation.


    One could only say that it was characteristic of a Taoist Child from a Holy Land of the Eastern Earth to give away millions of Spirit Stones at a time.


    Moreover, the quality of these top-grade Spirit Stones was better than those mined in the Eastern Wilderness¨Cclear and pure as ripples on water, surely mined from a large Spirit Stone Mine.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed that, when Ye Qing was taking out these Spirit Stones, his beautiful Junior Sister hesitated as if wanting to speak.


    Upon returning, Chen Mobai directly gave two top-grade Spirit Stones to each Foundation Establishment Practitioner who had come from the Five Veins. This made them all incredibly nervous, stating they had yet to achieve any merits and dared not accept them.


    ¡°Set off in three days. The dangers in the Ruins are unpredictable; keep one for yourselves, and exchange the rest for low-grade Spirit Stones. Then distribute them among the Qi Practitioners so they can purchase various talismans, Spirit Rice, elixirs, and the like in Northern Abyss City, to prevent any unpreparedness.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke these words, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners dared to accept the offer.


    Soon, the economy of Northern Abyss City thrived with the arrival of this large army of Cultivators, and many merchants made a killing.


    But the most substantial profits, of course, went to the various shops of the Wood Vein, as well as the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    The day of departure arrived quickly.


    From the Five Elements Sect, there were five Flying Boats, led by their respective Foundation Establishment Practitioners, differentiated by color.


    Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai used a flying boat, and although they only had a hundred people, the minimum requirement for recruitment was cultivators in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai had E Yun inquire about it and learned that as long as they departed from Northern Abyss City, they would be given a daily allowance of ten spirit stones.


    Even during the most intense battles in the Eastern Wilderness, such a price could not be offered.


    That was precisely why there were so many applicants.


    In addition to Qi Practitioners, six Foundation Establishment Practitioners who resided in Northern Abyss City were also invited to join.


    Three of them were loose cultivators and the other three were from cultivator families originating from the Eastern Wilderness. They were stationed in Northern Abyss City to look after their family¡¯s businesses, but with such an opportunity arising, and the chance to establish relations with a Taoist Child from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, they enthusiastically joined in.


    The group quickly left the Eastern Wilderness and entered the airspace over the Ruins.


    Since it bordered the Eastern Wilderness, the area had already been thoroughly explored by previous generations of cultivators.


    The range a hundred miles beyond that vicinity had also been cleaned up by Zhou Shengqing last time. Chen Mobai and Ye Qing flew at the forefront, and they soon arrived at the battlefield that they had initially chosen to confront the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.


    There was a Rank-3 Lower-grade Spirit Vein here that had previously been fortified with Array Prohibitions by the Divine Wood Sect.


    And they were still in effect.


    The group rested here for half a day, then once again piloted the flying boat, venturing deeper into the Ruins.


    Beyond that point, there were practically no absolutely safe areas.


    Trouble arose as soon as they entered.


    They saw the sky and earth engulfed in a sandstorm, which howled and formed ten huge tornadoes, each over ten meters tall, slithering like pythons from all directions to converge.


    Wherever it passed, whether sandstone or trees, all were swept up. Judging by the direction, they were about to move towards their flying boat, as if they wanted to devour them.


    ¡°This is a natural disaster unique to the Ruins. Once sucked inside, one must endure an endless assault of wind blades. Everyone, be careful!¡±


    The one speaking was a loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level named Song Qi. He often traveled between the East Barbarians and the Eastern Wilderness, reportedly mastering a safe passage. Relying on bringing people between these two regions, he conducted business and thus earned his resources for Foundation Establishment.


    He was considered one of the cultivators most experienced with the Ruins in Northern Abyss City.


    As he spoke, he seemed to want to demonstrate his abilities, releasing a jade sword into the air. His movements as he traced in midair were extremely elegant; afterward, talismans were integrated into the sand tornadoes in front of him, causing them to stand still as if they were made of clay.


    A few breaths later, the tornadoes began to slowly disperse as if they had lost their life force.


    Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, at that moment, a bone spear shot out of the tornado without any warning, piercing through Song Qi¡¯s chest.


    Song Qi¡¯s eyes bulged, blood spilling onto the yellow sands.


    Until his death, he did not understand how he had been ambushed.


    The remaining Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation cultivators on the flying boat saw this and promptly prepared their magic artifacts for defense.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, as even he had not seen how the spear had shot out from within the tornado.

    But his Art of Spiritual Eyes revealed that Song Qi¡¯s heart had been penetrated, a wisp of mysterious and indefinable evil qi had infiltrated his organs, and even rushed into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. He wasn¡¯t going to live much longer.


    ¡°Elder Brother, this looks like a technique of the Corpse Disassembling Devil Sect.¡±


    At this moment, the blue-robed girl beside Ye Qing spoke.


    Chen Mobai knew her as Yuan Zhen. Although she wasn¡¯t as renowned as Ye Qing, she was still a genius who achieved Core Formation within the cycle of jiazi and was now a candidate for Saintess of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Compared to Ye Qing, she fit Chen Mobai¡¯s impression of a major sect¡¯s disciple much better, very proud.

 Chapter 1305 - Chapter 1305 Chapter 718 What are the Ruins (Additional

    Chapter 1305: Chapter 718: What are the Ruins (Additional Chapter for 27200 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1305: Chapter 718: What are the Ruins (Additional Chapter for 27200 Monthly Votes) The so-called ruins are territories not yet trodden by the Human Race.


    After Mother of Water opened up the Five Continents and Four Seas, the Human Race initially appeared in the Tianhe Realm as blood food for Demonic beasts. Eventually, a Great Divine Power Wielder took pity on them, teaching the arts of Immortal Cultivation, and gradually, Cultivators began to emerge among the Human Race.


    But the Human Race¡¯s Cultivators simply couldn¡¯t compare with the naturally favored True Spirits. Not to mention those royal families who could undergo Divinity Transformation upon maturity, even ordinary Demonic beasts were beyond their defeat.


    In order to maintain the survival of their species and keep the embers of hope alive,


    led by Sages, the Human Race set forth from Central State, expanding and branching out. Some crossed the seas and arrived here in the East Continent.


    Along the way, the Human Race continually died, reproduced, and survived. Some encountered powerful beings like Heavenly Sovereigns who protected territories and chose to stay under their protection.


    When they first arrived at East Continent, the fertile Spirit Fields here were mostly occupied by Ancient Beasts and Demons, including creatures like Earth Spirit Locusts that only knew destruction.


    These places not yet seized and cultivated by the Human Race were collectively referred to as ruins.


    Afterward, under the guidance of the Sages, the Human Race bravely cleared paths and developed areas suitable for their own survival, which are now known as the Eastern Region.


    But this was only one of the most essential parts of East Continent. Many areas rich in resources and Spirit Veins remained uncultivated by the Human Race.


    The reason they weren¡¯t cultivated was firstly, the resources in the current territories of the Eastern Region were already sufficient for the Cultivators of the Human Race to exploit and use.


    Secondly, in the deepest part of the ruins, ancient True Spirits lurked whose strength was at least equivalent to Human Race¡¯s Divinity Transformation.


    For example, the territories of East Wasteland and East Wu along with Yun Meng Ze were originally the domain of a Rank-5 Yellow Dragon.


    The Pioneer Cultivators from East Land almost met their total demise here. Had it not been for the emergence of True Lord Yuan later, these two regions of East Wasteland and Dongwu would probably remain ruins to this day, never having had success in cultivation.


    It was precisely because of this environment that the ruins contained infinite resources and Ancient Beasts that even Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarchs) would not dare to overlook.


    Thus, many Magic Daoist Monks who could not make a living within the territories of the Human Race and who could not outdo their fellow Magic Path cultivators would choose to take risks and enter the ruins in search of opportunities.


    Perhaps they might find celestial Spiritual Objects and break their Shackles.


    For this reason, although the ruins contained layers of danger, once those top Holy Land Major Sects in East Land felt that the number of Cultivators was becoming excessive, they would mobilize Cultivators from the Eastern Region to form Pioneer armies, continually pushing forth into the unclaimed ruins yet to be conquered by the Human Race.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flashed with information about the ruins as Spiritual Light emerged in his pupils, looking towards the dark yellow tornado that was howling and sweeping towards him again.


    ¡°Brats from the Eastern Wastes, I¡¯ll give you a chance to retreat immediately, or else you¡¯ll all die here!¡±


    Just then, a hoarse, sharp female voice rose from within the tornado that shot out bone spears.


    ¡°Since they are Devil Cultivator Monks, then let me take action.¡±


    After hearing this, Ye Qing slowly stepped forward in midair. He raised his right hand to grasp his Longsword on his back, just about to unsheathe it, when Yuan Zhen stopped him.


    ¡°Senior brother, since you¡¯ve hired the Five Elements Sect and Eastern Wasteland Cultivators, this is the time for them to exert their effort.¡±


    Hearing Yuan Zhen¡¯s words, Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai both lowered their heads, fearful of being called upon to act.


    Although they were also disciples of a Nascent Soul Major Faction, they were only at the Foundation Establishment level, and despite being somewhat more powerful than the one who had just perished, it was limited.


    And it was clear that this Devil Cultivator Monk had at least the power of a Golden Core Stage. If they were to charge forward, it was likely not many would return alive.


    Loose Cultivators were the most anxious for their lives. By then, they had already decided that if they were really sent to be cannon fodder, they would disperse and flee for their lives as soon as they left the Flying Boat.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Golden Armored Zombie!¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai, using his Void Spirit Eye, had penetrated the surface of the tornado and glimpsed the strange golden figure within.


    Wind Blades slashed upon its body, sparking a string of Flames, seeming as if this Corpse Cultivator was using the natural disasters here to temper his own physique.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a Golden Armored Zombie, then it has a strong physical body, and even among Core Formation, it¡¯s a considerable force¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Ye Qing nodded gently, feeling it more secure to take action himself against such an opponent.


    ¡°Senior brother, Sect Master Chen is known as the premier Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wastes. Dealing with just a Golden Armored Zombie should be easy for him.¡±


    But just then, Yuan Zhen managed to squeeze in a teasing remark before Ye Qing could finish his sentence.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai just smiled without a word. Ye Qing looked at him, then withdrew his hand from the sword handle and gave a slight fist salute towards Chen Mobai, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Yuan Zhen, watching this, couldn¡¯t help but snicker to herself.


    Others might not know the strength of a Golden Armored Zombie, but how could she be unaware?


    Even if she were to act, she would need to utilize the secret Sword Dao of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to be assured of victory.


    This Sect Master Chen from the Eastern Wasteland might have a resounding reputation, but surely he was bluffing and nothing but a big fish in a small pond. When the time came for him to desperately seek help in disarray, she¡¯d step in to save him, and upon successful completion of the mission upon returning, he probably would feel too embarrassed to take the Spirit Stones.


    As Ye Qing¡¯s junior sister, Yuan Zhen was scarcely needed in battles against Devil Cultivators, so she was used to demonstrating her worth in aspects such as Spirit Stones and Elixirs.


    She felt that hiring a small sect from the rural areas to act as escorts was excessive even for a million Spirit Stones.


    But since Ye Qing offered so much, she didn¡¯t say anything in front of everyone at the time, although she still took note in her mind and held it against Chen Mobai for not voluntarily refusing and returning the payment.


    So she thought of letting the Five Elements Sect lose some face in the ruins, making Chen Mobai understand that the Five Elements Sect wasn¡¯t worth that many Spirit Stones.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai stepped forward lightly.


    Beneath his feet, the five-colored clouds complemented his red and black robe. Amid the hazy surroundings, his bearing was both dignified and majestic.


    But that step had enraged the Golden Armored Zombie on the other side.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re seeking death, I¡¯ll grant it to you!¡±


    Amidst a fierce shout, bone spears stabbed out from all around.


    But Chen Mobai opened his mouth and spit out a white beam like a blazing bolt of lightning.


    In an instant, a scorching air flow burst forth as the white beam cut through the void, its intense high temperature causing the air itself to ignite.


    In the eyes of the onlookers filled with disbelief, the white beam sliced into one of the tornadoes.


    Then the wind was cleaved apart, revealing a golden, glittering body wrapped in a black robe. The Corpse Cultivator¡¯s stiff face registered shock as he lifted his hand in an attempt to block, upon seeing the Extreme Sun Slash descending upon him.


    However, the white beam was unstoppable.


    The hand was severed.


    Half of the head was also cleaved by the white beam, and a jet of black pus sprayed out from the Golden Armored Zombie¡¯s cranium, incinerated by the high temperature of the Extreme Sun Slash into a black, foul-smelling smoke.


    At the same time, all the bone spears flying towards Chen Mobai struck a layer of dazzling, multicolored air flow and were instantly turned to dust.


    Yuan Zhen, witnessing this scene, had her eyes narrowed sharply!


    With a snap!


    The half-body of the Golden Armored Zombie with its head severed plummeted to the ground, and then a blinding white flame spread from the wound in her skull, engulfing her entire body and emitting billowing black smoke.


    In just a few breaths, she had turned to a pile of ash.


    Chen Mobai, upon seeing this, immediately extinguished the flames of the Extreme Sun Slash to avoid turning the entire mountaintop into molten lava.


    ¡°This Golden Armored Zombie¡¯s physical body is only Rank-3, and her Divine Sense is an obvious weakness.¡±


    ¡°Even so, any attack below Rank-3 or even from an ordinary Rank-3 would likely fail to break her defense. To conserve energy, True Person Ye, only my intervention could assuredly take her down.¡±


    ¡°If she had been a little weaker, it would have been good to let the Sect Disciples gain some experience and practice with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.¡±


    After dispatching the Golden Armored Zombie with a single Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai flew back, expressing his slight regret.


    Ye Qing didn¡¯t show much reaction to these words, but Yuan Zhen was left mouth agape, her face a picture of shock.


    What had she just seen!?


    A single sword stroke had slain the Golden Armored Zombie!


    Even if she were to use her bitterly cultivated Demon Slaying Secret Sword, it would probably take several moves to bring her down.


    But what was beyond belief for her was the multicolored air flow that Chen Mobai had used to block the bone spears!


    As a Sect Member of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she had also experienced the iconic Divine Skills of the Holy Land.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the technique you just used, was it Primordial True Qi?¡±


    Unable to hold back, Yuan Zhen asked Chen Mobai for confirmation as he flew over.


    ¡°Yes, I was fortunate enough to refine a bit for protection.¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly replied, then returned to the Flying Boat and began directing the disciples of the Five Elements Sect to search the nearby area to see if they could find the lair of this Corpse Cultivator.


    ¡°Senior Brother, did you already know?¡±


    Seeing the calm expression on Ye Qing¡¯s face, Yuan Zhen looked suddenly enlightened.


    ¡°Back at the Sky Meal Building, although there was no fight, I could approximately confirm it was Primordial True Qi,¡± Ye Qing nodded and said.


    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡±


    Yuan Zhen spoke with some complaint, thinking back on the recent event, she felt somewhat embarrassed.


    ¡°I also wanted to see for myself the true strength of Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Ye Qing¡¯s statement caused Yuan Zhen to pause briefly, and then she remembered that dazzling Extreme Sun Slash.


    She had to admit that there was indeed a gap between herself and Sect Master Chen in the Sword Dao Realm.


    Even without the Primordial True Qi, she probably wouldn¡¯t be his match.


    ¡°That mere Eastern Wasteland can actually produce such a remarkable cultivator!¡±

    Yuan Zhen still found it somewhat hard to accept.


    As a disciple of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she had been exposed to the best Cultivation Techniques and heritage from a young age, yet even so, she could only use a Rank-4 sword move by employing desperate Spells.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s Extreme Sun Slash, which casually dispatched enemies, clearly resulted from his bitter cultivation, attaining a level of perfection.


    ¡°True Lord Yuan came from the Eastern Wasteland as well.¡±


    With just a light sentence, Ye Qing shattered Yuan Zhen¡¯s pride.

 Chapter 1306 - Chapter 1306 Chapter 719 The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator

    Chapter 1306: Chapter 719: The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator Chapter 1306: Chapter 719: The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator Compared to other cultivators, corpse cultivators must bury themselves in places of good feng shui, making it difficult for them to move.


    For this reason, in the various branches of the Demon Path, corpse cultivators are most susceptible to targeted attacks and unintentional harm, as Earth Masters often locate spirit acupoints right into the lairs of corpse cultivators.


    For instance, when Chen Mobai was transplanting the Green Charm Spiritual Tree, he found it at Dragon Horn Trench. And then there was Yan Jinye, who had just achieved Foundation Establishment and unearthed treasures at Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    The Five Elements Sect had numerous members, and Chun Yusu was an exceptional Earth Master and Array Master, who quickly located the lair of a corpse cultivator.


    After receiving the news, Chen Mobai did not go to open it himself.


    After all, this trip was led by Ye Qing, the Saint Land Taoist Child. After surveying the ground from midair, he had two members from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect summoned over.


    The lair of a corpse cultivator could only be underground.


    The three Golden Core Cultivators did not waste any time and barged right in.


    Innately capable of Earth Escape, the three forcefully burrowed into the earth, revealing their respective cultivation levels.


    Yuan Zhen turned out to be at the Core Formation Late Stage, no wonder she could become a candidate for Saintess, following Ye Qing.


    When the three rushed underground, they discovered a Rank-3 Yin Sha Spiritual Cave, no wonder that corpse cultivator managed to transform into a Golden Armored Zombie.


    Accompanied by a loud boom, the three had completely broken through from above to below, entering an underground cavern.


    In the middle of the cavern was an open Jade Coffin, in front of which was a softly glowing Soul Summoning Lamp. Around the Jade Coffin, a patch of dark jade-colored bamboo was planted, surrounded by various spirit grasses emitting a fluorescent light, illuminating the surrounding walls where various murals depicting the life of the corpse cultivator were seen.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, we need to destroy this Soul Lantern.¡±


    Yuan Zhen said this. Those who use this kind of magic artifact are essentially from the Demon Path, the primary target suppressed by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    ¡°You both make the decision,¡± Chen Mobai said, nodding lightly. This trip he had received a million Spirit Stones from Ye Qing as his employment, and it was only right that any loot found along the way belonged to Ye Qing.


    Nevertheless, watching Yuan Zhen take out a Spirit Talisman and stick it onto the Soul Summoning Lamp, subsequently triggering it to burn the artifact down to jade juice, felt somewhat wasteful.


    This Rank-3 Soul Summoning Lamp could fetch a sky-high price if sold on the black market.


    At this time, Ye Qing had already approached the Jade Coffin and extracted two volumes of Silk Book from inside, spread them out to study what must surely be the corpse cultivation technique.


    Chen Mobai, in order to demonstrate his resolute opposition to the Demon Path, did not gather closer but walked towards the dark jade-like bamboo.


    He had once fervently studied such knowledge to find spirit materials suited for Immortal Gates in the Tianhe Realm and quickly recognized it as Yin Void Bamboo, a mutation of Pure Bamboo grown in Yin Sha Land.


    Since it absorbs yin element earth qi during growth, it is highly useful for those practicing Yin Attribute Skills, and cultivators of water or earth techniques could also use it.


    Inexplicably, Chen Mobai thought of Xiao Hei from Immortal Gate, who had a Pure Yin Body.


    He wondered how her studies were going in the Sea Territory.


    Chen Mobai further inspected and found that seven of the Yin Void Bamboo were of Rank-3 quality, while the rest were Rank-2, making them also excellent materials for refining magic artifacts.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s Lifespan Artifact, the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, similar to Chen Mobai¡¯s Morning Bell, could only protect the heart and mind and suppress the Purple Palace. Once she achieved Core Formation, she would need some powerful magic artifacts for Magic Duels in the environment of Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai thought it might be good to refine a set for her using this Yin Void Bamboo.


    He then looked at the spirit grass near the roots of the bamboo. These were also rare, growing only in Yin Sha Land, known as Yin Lu Grass, with both Rank-2 and Rank-1 available, useful for refining elixirs to stabilize and nourish one¡¯s foundation.


    After completing the identification, Chen Mobai glanced at Ye Qing, who by then was examining the murals on the walls.


    He walked over, ready to discuss with Ye Qing how to handle the items in this place.


    ¡°This corpse cultivator was an Elder of a sect in his lifetime and cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm. Just before his natural life was about to end, he arranged this place to bury himself and resurrect through the method of corpse cultivation.¡±


    Ye Qing, seeing Chen Mobai approach, pointed to the content on the murals and explained. Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression subtly shifted.


    ¡°According to the style of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, we need to inquire about this corpse cultivator¡¯s former sect one more time to ensure no Demonic Cultivation Technique was left there before we can let this matter rest.¡±


    Chen Mobai had yet to speak when Ye Qing seemed to predict his thoughts and asked meaningfully,


    ¡°This person buried themselves near the Ruins close to the Eastern Wilderness. Since you, Sect Master Chen, are the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, could you provide any clues?¡±


    Chen Mobai observed the murals calmly and then quietly shook his head.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°In my life, I¡¯ve never left the Eastern Wilderness, and my cultivation years are short, but I can ensure that within the last several centuries, there is no such cultivator among the Eastern Wilderness¡¯s Golden Core Cultivators.¡±


    The Eastern Wilderness was considered the most remote countryside of the Eastern Region, and the Golden Core Cultivators of the last several centuries could be counted on one¡¯s fingers.


    None matched the content in the murals.


    A thought briefly crossed his mind, wondering if this blame could be shifted onto Back to Sky Valley or Snow-blowing Palace.


    But Chen Mobai, being forthright, merely thought about it and did not take any action.

 Chapter 1307 - Chapter 1307 Chapter 719 The Origin of the Corpse

    Chapter 1307: Chapter 719 The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator_2 Chapter 1307: Chapter 719 The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator_2 ¡°If it¡¯s not from the Eastern Wilderness, then it could be from Dongwu or the East Barbarians¡­¡±


    Ye Qing nodded upon hearing this, and then sent a message downward. After a while, Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai also came down. Upon hearing the matter, they immediately started examining the mural.


    ¡°This looks a bit like Kong Sang Valley!¡±


    Shen Shanqing shook his head, but Yu Hai mentioned one of the three major schools of the East Barbarians.


    Chen Mobai heard this and looked at him, wondering if this guy wanted to use the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to suppress the power of Kong Sang Valley in the East Barbarians.


    ¡°Can you be sure?¡±


    ¡°I dare not be certain, but 300 years ago, a Core Formation Elder from Kong Sang Valley indeed mysteriously vanished before the end of his life span. Anyway, Mr. Ye will return to the East Barbarians using the Teleportation Array after exorcising demons, and can then inquire from Master Ku Zhu.¡±


    Yu Hai shared what he knew and then pointed at some patterns in the mural, noting that they closely resembled the scenery of Kong Sang Valley.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    Ye Qing nodded, then with a flick of his fingers, fierce Sword Qi sliced through all the murals, which he stored in his Storage Bag.


    ¡°Elder Brother, everything has been checked. Aside from the Sky Crystal Sand in the Jade Coffin, only a few three-level Spiritual Bamboos have some value.¡±


    At this moment, Yuan Zhen had also completely melted the Soul Summoning Lamp into jade juice. She quickly walked through the underground cavern, inspecting everything left behind by the Corpse Cultivator.


    Sky Crystal Sand is an extremely precious material of Metal Attribute. When a Corpse Cultivator is growing, it can be placed beside them to more easily transition into a Golden Armored Zombie.


    It is also a Superior Quality material for Sword Training, originally supposed to fill the Jade Coffin. Now, only a third remains.


    ¡°The Spiritual Bamboo is called Yin Void Bamboo¡­¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai spoke about the origins of the bamboo resembling ink jade, and on hearing that it was a variation of Pure Bamboo, Yu Hai¡¯s eyes briefly sparkled.


    Ye Qing recalled the content of the two Silk Books, nodded slightly, and kept Kong Sang Valley in mind.


    ¡°The Sky Crystal Sand is useful for my junior sister¡¯s Azure Glede Sword. We¡¯ll take that, as well as two stalks of Yin Void Bamboo. The rest is yours to pack up and take.¡±


    Given Ye Qing¡¯s allocation, naturally none of the others present had any objections.


    After all, even if he took everything himself, it was his due.


    After Ye Qing and his sister had taken what they needed, the remaining items were left for Chen Mobai, Shen Shanqing, and Yu Hai to discuss.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, we only need one stalk of three-level Yin Void Bamboo each. What do you think?¡±


    Shen Shanqing made his request with some trepidation.


    Chen Mobai immediately nodded in agreement.


    Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai quickly cut a stalk of Yin Void Bamboo each, sealed them with a simple Spirit Sealing technique, and placed them in their Storage Bags.


    However, Chen Mobai was not so rough. He started digging up the soil along with the bamboos.


    Seeing this, Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai were somewhat puzzled.


    Without the Yin Sha Spiritual Cave, the growth of Yin Void Bamboo would cease, and its spiritual properties would become weaker over time, so sealing them directly after cutting, as they did, was the proper way.


    They didn¡¯t know about Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Qi of All Things, which could cultivate Spirit Soil up to level three and lower.


    After taking the most valuable items, Chen Mobai called Liu Wenbo and others down to collect the remaining two-level Yin Void Bamboo and Yin Lu Grass.


    Once they were sure all items of value had been taken, everyone left the underground cavern.


    ¡°This place has been contaminated by corpse energy. To prevent Corpse Cultivators from occupying it in the future, should we destroy this Yin Sha Spiritual Cave?¡±


    After everyone had come out, Yuan Zhen asked Ye Qing.


    Hearing such a wasteful suggestion, Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth twitched.


    ¡°Let¡¯s exorcise the demons first, and if there is time when we come back, we¡¯ll deal with this place then.¡±


    Ye Qing remained remarkably calm and had no intention of wasting more time here.


    ¡°True Person Ye speaks rationally, as we have only just entered the dangerous zones of the ruins, and we may encounter even more and more terrifying ancient demon beasts going forward. It would be best not to squander our spiritual power here.¡±


    Their main objective this time was to eliminate an elder of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, who was suspected of having the inheritance of the Nine-Headed Great Saint. In comparison, dealing with the corpse cultivators here was minor.


    Although the gains were not insignificant and could be considered a huge fortune for Foundation Establishment Practitioners, for those at the Core Formation level, it was merely an unexpected windfall.


    From this, it was clear that the resources in the ruins were relatively abundant.


    No wonder cultivators who couldn¡¯t make it elsewhere chose to try their luck in the ruins.


    Having reached a consensus, Chen Mobai immediately commanded the Flying Boat of the Five Elements Sect and continued deeper into the ruins.


    The deeper they ventured, the more dangers and difficulties they encountered.


    The most numerous threats in the ruins were the various demon beasts, stronger than lone devil cultivators or rogue cultivators, often commanding significant territories by virtue of either their large numbers or immense strength, or both.


    Even someone as formidable as Ye Qing found some of the exceptionally talented demon beasts headache-inducing, which is why he had hired cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness for protection at great expense.


    Although Chen Mobai brought along his disciples and planned to train with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, he did not intentionally choose territories controlled by demon beasts to traverse.


    Throughout their journey, they avoided confrontation when possible, and only engaged in battles if absolutely necessary.


    On this trip, Chen Mobai had brought Gu Yan along not only for training but also to record the various demon beasts and geographic spirits they encountered, preparing for future ventures into the ruins.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.


    Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen had managed to break through a valley occupied by a Mountain Giant Ape, and only after watching their six Flying Boats leave far behind, they used their escape skills to leave the battlefield.


    After flying dozens of miles, they finally shook off the two Rank-3 giant apes that howled in anger and ran over mountains and valleys trying to pursue them, but those on the ground could never catch up with those in the air.


    But soon, their expressions changed as a clear, piercing Sword Light shot up in the distance.


    That indicated Ye Qing had made a move!


    Had they encountered a powerful demon beast?


    Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen quickly headed towards the source, only to encounter a dense fog, so thick that they could not see past their hands, which stretched across the mountains and heavens.


    The range of the fog was enormous and impossible to circumvent, so their six Flying Boats had clearly rushed into it.


    Fortunately, Ye Qing¡¯s distinct and clear Sword Light guided them through the fog; otherwise, they would truly be unable to reunite.


    As soon as Chen Mobai entered, a six-legged wolf-like demon beast charged out from the fog.


    It continually roared, causing a slight dizziness in Mobai¡¯s head, and terrifyingly, the roars came one after another, indicating a significant number deep within the fog.


    In the midst of the roars, Chen Mobai felt a buzzing in his ears; it was actually an attack using sonic waves.


    He immediately activated the Morning Bell, and after a deep sound of the bell tolled, his Divine Sense cleared!


    With faint white light crisscrossing, the six-legged demon beast charging at him from the fog was sliced into pieces, which then burned to ashes.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t count how many demon beasts he had slain along the way, but finally, following Ye Qing¡¯s Sword Light, he arrived on the Flying Boat where the latter was confronting a shadowy figure.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this is the Six-legged Gray Wolf, proficient in earth and wind demonic forces!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Shen Shanqing immediately spoke to Chen Mobai. His team, comprised of well-seasoned loose cultivators familiar with the ruins, recognized the origins of this demon beast.


    The six Flying Boats constantly flashed with Spiritual Light, clearly indicating that their defensive formations were activated to the maximum.


    However, within the fog, demon beasts repeatedly charged out, some breaking through the flying boat¡¯s light shields, entering within, and despite being swiftly slain by the highly focused cultivators, the endless number of beasts caused everyone¡¯s hearts to sink increasingly.


    Soon, a lack of coordination among the loose cultivators¡¯ Flying Boats resulted in a gap in the formation¡¯s light shield, and quickly, several Six-legged Gray Wolves rushed in, toppling two nearby loose cultivators and devouring them.


    The bloody scene instantly threw the team into disarray.

 Chapter 1308 - Chapter 1308 720

    Chapter 1308: 720 Chapter 1308: 720 In such a crisis, only Chen Mobai could stand out.


    After Yuan Zhen arrived, he immediately controlled his flying sword to go up and assist Ye Qing.


    No one knew what the grey shadow trailing them was, as it had been sliced repeatedly by Ye Qing¡¯s sword light several times, yet it seemed to have no physical form, rapidly recovering and merging again.


    ¡°Stay calm!¡±


    ¡°Get into formation!¡±


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s two commands, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers condensed into being.


    Five towering giants appeared mid-air, standing atop the flying boat, facing the six-legged grey wolves surging out of the mystic fog, erupting with powerful spiritual light.


    During this time, the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, after having trained a great deal under Chen Mobai¡¯s lead, quickly stabilized their footing.


    Chen Mobai stood firm in mid-air, the five giants like protective Heavenly Gods arranging themselves into a formation, holding a large number of six-legged grey wolves at bay, guarding the flying boat as it redirected its course.


    The extent of the mist was unknown and somehow it even blocked divine sense searches. Not knowing how many demonic beasts were inside, Chen Mobai chose to take a step back and rush toward the edge of the mist.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, save us!¡±


    The Five Elements Sect was well-trained, but the loose cultivators lacked a Golden Core cultivator.


    Although Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai were doing their best to direct, they simply weren¡¯t the sect leaders of their own forces, and the loose cultivators, prioritizing their own safety, did not fully comply with their orders, resulting in their flying boats being headless dragons. As the protective barriers continued to break, demonic beasts kept rushing in.


    While most people were only thinking of saving themselves, although demonic beasts were also being constantly slain, there were loose cultivators whose talismans and magic artifacts were exhausted, and they were torn into pieces.


    Chen Mobai immediately steered the Five Elements Dao Soldiers slightly in that direction, and Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai immediately controlled their flying boat to close in on him.


    Facing these numerous but low-grade demonic beasts, Chen Mobai did not resort to using the very spirit power-draining moves like the Extreme Sun Slash.


    He took out a sword box from his storage bag and opened it. Instantly, an orange beam of light shot out of the case, crisscrossing in a flash, slicing the sudden influx of hundreds of six-legged grey wolves blocking the entrance to the mist in half at the waist.


    With blood and chunks of flesh filling the sky, their six flying boats finally burst out of the mist.


    The six-legged grey wolves seemed to have some kind of limit and didn¡¯t continue to rush out from the mist.


    ¡°Stay put and don¡¯t move.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai immediately ordered the members of the Five Elements Sect, then retracted the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, closed the sword box, and handed it over to Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°In case of danger, use this talisman to open the sword box!¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai drew a talisman in mid-air and imbued it with his own pure Yang spiritual power.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Liu Wenbo respectfully nodded, taking the sword box and talisman from Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    But at that moment, Chen Mobai had already become a streak of firelight, once again rushing into the mist. Guided by Ye Qing¡¯s clear sword qi, he quickly reached the side of the two from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    However, he found that his help seemed unnecessary.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Ye Qing saw him approaching and nodded slightly.


    Next to him, Yuan Zhen was holding a jade vial, a strong suction drawing in the grey shadow, gradually absorbing it.


    ¡°This should be a wind essence that has awakened its spirituality by chance. If infused into a flying sword, you can obtain incomparable speed. It is very beneficial for comprehending Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly shocked.


    There were such heavenly and earthly treasures in the ruins?


    ¡°Ye True Person, my Sword Dao realm is precisely stuck on Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound; I wonder if this item could be transferred to me?¡±


    Chen Mobai had personally experienced the Sword Dao realm of someone like Mo Douguang. Without deploying his Purple Electric Sword, he was almost powerless.


    So when he heard that this item could also help in comprehending Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound, he couldn¡¯t help but bluntly make a request.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Sect Master Chen. My junior sister also needs this for enlightenment. If we encounter a second wind essence within this mirage fog, we will definitely give it to you.¡±


    Ye Qing said apologetically, leaving Chen Mobai with only a look of regret.


    However, it was this very statement that let Chen Mobai know that Ye Qing must have already comprehended the realm of Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    ¡°Is this place known as Mirage Fog?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, trying to change the subject out of disappointment.


    ¡°Yes, it is said that in ancient times, a Mirage Dragon was brought down and its corpse fell onto the East Continent, forming an everlasting mist. I saw this record in the historical books of our sect, and it seems likely this is the place.¡±


    Ye Qing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai marvel.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although he did not know at what realm the Mirage Dragon was among the demonic beasts, to have formed a never-dissipating mist after death, it must be at least at Divinity Transformation, or perhaps even above.


    The depth of the Tianhe Realm was indeed unfathomable.


    ¡°How large is this Mirage Fog, and besides those six-legged grey wolves, are there other dangers?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked the most critical question, estimating that if the range was only within a hundred miles and their adversary included only these wolf beasts, then their party should still be able to break through.


    ¡°Our Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s predecessors do have records that the Mirage Fog stretches about three thousand miles long, but just like a dragon, it is slender. The thinnest part of the width is only a few dozen miles.¡±

 Chapter 1309 - Chapter 1309 Chapter 720 Fifth-Level Magical Treasure_2

    Chapter 1309: Chapter 720: Fifth-Level Magical Treasure_2 Chapter 1309: Chapter 720: Fifth-Level Magical Treasure_2 Ye Qing told Chen Mobai what she knew, then shared another piece of information with him.


    ¡°That Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, if he really has obtained the inheritance of the Nine-Headed Great Saint, then he must be within this Mirage Fog.¡±


    ¡°Oh, why so?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.


    ¡°Among the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts of the Demon Tribe, there was one known as the Brocade Chicken. The Mirage Dragon legend says it is born from the egg produced by the mating of a Sky Snake and a Brocade Chicken, which, after being struck by heavenly lightning, hatched.¡±


    ¡°The Brocade Chicken¡¯s court has been annihilated. If he wants to cultivate the True Spirit Nine Transformations of the Nine-Headed Great Saint, absorbing the essence of the Mirage Dragon within this fog is the best method.¡±


    ¡°This is also something my master discovered after consulting numerous resources, which is why he sent me here to kill him.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding, then inquired how to find that Devil Cultivator in the thousand miles of mystical fog.


    ¡°The object in junior sister¡¯s hand is called the Green Mirage Bottle; it is a half-finished fifth-level magical treasure that our master had others refine. Once junior sister breaks the seal with the Spirit Talisman, it will absorb all the Mirage Fog and Mirage Dragon Essence in this place, completing the final illumination of this treasure.¡±


    Ye Qing uttered a sentence that made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widen in shock; he stared at the jade vial that was somewhat struggling to absorb a cluster of wind essence, standing still in disbelief.


    ¡°That is¡­ A fifth-level magical treasure?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, apart from slaying demons, another purpose of my journey is to assist junior sister in refining the Green Mirage Bottle. When the Mirage Fog completely disappears, the hidden Demons and Ghosts, and all sorts of demonic beasts, will emerge and surely go berserk and attack junior sister. When that happens and I am slaying demons, I must trouble Sect Master Chen to lead the cultivator army to protect us.¡±


    After hearing Ye Qing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai then remembered that his master was the Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    ¡°The safety of True Person Yuan is assured by me.¡±


    Chen Mobai also wanted to witness the completion of a fifth-level magical treasure and immediately guaranteed it with a slap on his chest.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m relying on you.¡±


    As Ye Qing spoke, Yuan Zhen had already absorbed the cluster of wind essence with the Green Mirage Bottle. She then sealed the bottle¡¯s opening, gently shook it in a circle, and poured out the cluster of wind essence.


    Where the wind essence once had spirituality, it had now become very submissive, allowing Yuan Zhen to easily inject her Divine Sense, only waiting for the future spare time to refine it into her Flying Sword.


    While improving the quality of her Flying Sword, she could also comprehend the realm of Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound.


    ¡°Senior brother, I¡¯m ready.¡±


    Yuan Zhen flew over, holding the Green Mirage Bottle happily. Coming out this time and getting this cluster of wind essence was already a very nice gain for her.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also discussed the whole situation with Sect Master Chen. Once the cultivator army from the Eastern Wilderness has finished resting, you will use master¡¯s Spirit Talisman to break the seal of this treasure.¡±


    The three of them quickly confirmed their next overall strategy.


    In essence, Yuan Zhen would use the Green Mirage Bottle to absorb the kilometer-thick fog and the essence of the Mirage Dragon, and in the absence of interference, Ye Qing would use a sword technique with an extremely wide-ranging effect that could probe all the defensive large formations and restrictions.


    In a place like the Ruins, only human race cultivators would set up these, and then they could locate the Devil Cultivator they needed to kill.


    The task of demon extermination would be left to Ye Qing alone.


    Chen Mobai only needed to lead the cultivator army and block the various types of demonic beasts and insects that would go completely mad after the fog dissipated.


    Once the plan was set, Chen Mobai immediately left the vicinity of the Mirage Fog.


    To avoid alerting the Devil Cultivator and causing him to flee, he ordered all cultivators to replenish their exhausted spiritual energy with Spirit Stones.


    Half an hour later, he sent a message to the brother and sister of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect within the Mirage Fog.


    Following that, Chen Mobai saw the thick and seemingly eternal fog, which spread between heaven and earth, slowly receding towards a certain direction within.


    Buzz buzz buzz!


    Woof woof woof!


    Roar roar roar!


    Sounds of various kinds, yet all containing the same impatience, anxiety, and even madness of the demonic beasts, began to rise within the fog.


    ¡°Form the array!¡±


    With a calm command from Chen Mobai, the army of cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, controlling their Flying Boats, formed their battle formation and slowly approached the fog.


    Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai also immediately directed the Loose Cultivators on their Flying Boats to follow.


    The mist receded one step, and they advanced one step.


    Gradually, the range of the mist had shrunk by a full large circle.


    The various demonic beasts that were originally hidden inside could no longer conceal themselves and revealed their true forms.


    There were the six-legged gray wolves they had seen before, as well as huge centipedes, and even monkeys with blood-red eyes and brightly tinged red snakes¡­


    At least a dozen different kinds of demonic beasts, after losing the cover of the mist, appeared before their eyes.


    And upon seeing their six Flying Boats, the nearby demonic beasts already bared their fangs and claws, leaping toward them madly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Chen Mobai did not stand on ceremony, immediately commanding the army of Cultivators to begin slaughtering the demonic beasts.


    At this time, a clear light pierced the heavens and earth, opening a hole through the center of the mist, revealing the figures of Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen.


    The clear light was emanating from the neck of the Jade Vial, clearly breaking free after its seal was lifted, this Fifth-Level Magical Treasure refined by the Huashen Zhenjun began to erupt with its inherent power!


    What was originally being slowly collected, the Mirage Fog was, in an instant, absorbed a hundred thousand times over by the clear light, sucked into the neck of the vial.


    Boom!


    Just then, fluctuations of Rank-3 and even near Rank-4 erupted within the Mirage Fog, but these beings, under the power of the Fifth-Level Green Mirage Bottle, had no ability to struggle and were swept up along with the Mirage Fog by the clear light, devoured completely.


    It was about the time of one incense stick later when the mist that had originally enveloped a thousand miles was all gone.


    Yuan Zhen, her pretty face pale, took out a golden-yellow Spirit Talisman and attached it to the vial¡¯s neck.


    Clang! Ye Qing drew his sword!


    A clear and cold Sword Intent, like a spring breeze turning into rain, surged into the ground and spread out along the Spirit Veins to who knows how far afield.


    Before long, Ye Qing opened his eyes and looked towards the northeast.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I¡¯ll trouble you to protect my junior sister.¡±


    After saying this, Ye Qing turned into a Sword Light, like a heaven-startling long rainbow, bursting forth with successive thunderous sounds, and in the blink of an eye, had already stretched a hundred miles out!


    This was the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound!


    And it was under the state of Unity of Man and Sword that he had brought his evasion speed to such divine swiftness.


    Just in the span of two breaths!


    Chen Mobai saw a thunderous explosion, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, as a huge illusion of something not quite dragon or snake unfurled in the distance.


    The nature¡¯s spiritual energy kept gathering tumultuously around the huge illusion, continuously enhancing and erupting in strength.


    But no matter what, it seemed unable to suppress that one strand of clear and cold Sword Light.


    Chen Mobai wanted to use the Art of Spiritual Eyes to observe more, but the howling of demonic beasts had already formed a torrent, rushing toward them.


    It seemed that the Green Mirage Bottle had a mind of its own, only interested in demonic beasts of Rank-3 or higher, absorbing all such existences from within the mist.


    And these were all the leaders or kings of their various demonic tribes; their removal had instantly driven most of the beasts here into a frenzy.


    Completely disregarding their lives, they surged toward Yuan Zhen, who held the Jade Vial.


    Flames flickered, and orange halos had already made one turn around Yuan Zhen.


    But one turn was clearly not enough.

    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense exploded, and the Primordial Yang Sword Evil spun around time and again, and before long, the corpses of demonic beasts had piled up all around.


    But there were just too many to kill!


    Chen Mobai felt that even the Primordial Yang Sword Evil was becoming blunt; for the first time, he felt the lack of a means to clear the field on a large scale.


    Fortunately, at this time, the six Flying Boats rushed to the scene, and under his command, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers transformed into giant figures of light, appearing all around.


    All the demonic beasts that crashed into the Five Elements Dao Soldiers were either turned into clay sculptures or were burned, frozen, dismembered, torn to shreds.

 Chapter 1310 - Chapter 1310 Chapter 721 Massive Kill in All Directions

    Chapter 1310: Chapter 721: Massive Kill in All Directions (28,000 Monthly Tickets Additional Release) Chapter 1310: Chapter 721: Massive Kill in All Directions (28,000 Monthly Tickets Additional Release) Under Chen Mobai¡¯s command, five Foundation Building Realm cultivators took their positions at five points within the formation¡¯s glowing shield.


    Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the spiritual powers of these five elemental attributes interconnected, and with the addition of five hundred Qi Practitioners, the aura of these five cultivators surged greatly in an instant.


    However, the number of cultivators forming the Five Elements Dao Soldiers was still insufficient to help Chun Yusu and Zhu Xicheng, who were both at the peak of Foundation Building, achieve a breakthrough and attempt to experience the power of Core Formation.


    But it helped them to take a long-overdue half-step forward with their stagnant spiritual power.


    With this half-step, they could vaguely see the direction they needed to go to if they wanted to form their cores.


    Relying on the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, Ning Leshan from the Metal Vein directly advanced to the perfection of Foundation Establishment. After this return, he planned to go into seclusion for a while and, after accumulating enough spiritual power, truly step into this realm.


    In control of the Alpha Wood Soldiers from the Wood Vein was Mu Yuan.


    It was not that Chen Mobai did not look after his disciple; it was just that they were currently in the most dangerous situation since entering the ruins, and Mu Yuan¡¯s empowerment by the Dao Soldiers could help him reach the perfection of Foundation Establishment.


    This arrangement had been discussed and agreed upon a long time ago.


    Ever since entering the ruins, under Chen Mobai¡¯s command, all Foundation Establishment practitioners had tried to accept the power of Five Elements Dao Soldiers to enhance themselves, implementing a practice that benefitted everyone equally and was fair and just.


    Liu Wenbo had already experienced several times the power of reaching the late phase of Foundation Establishment.


    Due to the need to practice two cultivation techniques simultaneously and his only average talent, Liu Wenbo had always progressed slowly and was still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    However, owning the Little Nan Mountain Shop provided him with resources that ranked top among all Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Eastern Wilderness. Although, at Chen Mobai¡¯s insistence, he did not consume elixirs, he had still cultivated his spiritual power to its limit over eighteen years.


    After this return, he should be able to break through to the late phase of Foundation Establishment.


    With the Five Elements Dao Soldiers positioned at the five points, Chen Mobai only needed to wield the Primordial Yang Sword Sha to slay any demonic beasts that slipped through, greatly reducing his pressure.


    He saw one after another six-legged gray wolf, exuding the fluctuations of a Rank-2, riding the air currents towards them. They opened their bloody maws targeting the muddy yellow Earth Element Dao Soldiers, baring their sharp teeth as they bit.


    But when they bit down, they only captured a clod of mud.


    The Earth Element Dao Soldier transformed its entire body into freely stretching and contracting mud, melting the moment it was bitten and subsequently forming a mud membrane, covering the heads of the demonic beasts.


    Accompanied by the dull sounds of bones shattering, the heads of these covered demonic beasts were all crushed, losing their life essence and falling towards the ground.


    Next to the Earth Element Dao Soldiers, the air filled with water vapor gathered to form water orbs, fiercely smashing into the bellies of these six-legged gray wolves.


    The moment the wolves were touched by the water orbs, their blood seemed to be drawn out, and then blood mist sprayed out from their orifices, turning them into mummified corpses.


    At the same time, the Fire Element Dao Soldiers released a long string of flames from their mouths, turning the hissing long snakes that filled the sky, into charred corpses.


    There was also a sky filled with golden brilliance, as countless extremely sharp beams of golden light burst from the sky, piercing into the hides of several gray-black bull monsters, slicing them into pieces.


    Mu Yuan, controlling the Alpha Wood Soldiers, spread his tree seeds, and a Golden Sun Spirit Tree landed on the ground. As it expanded its branches and leaves, it also protected Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen, who was controlling the Green Mirage Bottle.


    The Longevity Scripture¡¯s defensive ability was exhibited to its fullest.


    For the demonic beasts that wanted to bypass the Five Elements Dao Soldiers and charge in from the ground or sky, they were immediately caught and entangled by the growing branches before Chen Mobai could even act, rendering them immobile.


    Then came a sky filled with golden light, water knives, and flames that immediately turned these beasts into corpses.


    In just a few breaths¡¯ time, the incoming dozen or so Rank-2 demonic beasts were cleanly dealt with by Mu Yuan and others.


    Even the fiercest charging six-legged gray wolves were almost exterminated.


    Just as Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, a thunderous roar echoed.


    A gray-black single-horned bull, exuding the might of Rank-3, charged with imposing thunderous elemental energy and heavily struck the Ren Water Taoist Soldier that blocked its path!


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the Green Mirage Bottle targets the demonic beasts within the mist; some may have been asleep underground when I used the magical treasure, avoiding this calamity.¡±


    Yuan Zhen¡¯s somewhat weak voice transmission rang in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears, but he no longer had the time to respond.


    The Water Vein Foundation Establishment practitioner was insufficiently powerful, and at the moment of clashing with the Rank-3 bull monster, screamed in agony. Accompanied by the Dao Soldier being shattered by the bull¡¯s horn, his entire spiritual power reversed its flow, lost control, and he fainted from bleeding out of all orifices.


    Chen Mobai immediately stretched out a finger, and an orange-red beam traced a stunning light stream in the air, arriving in front of the demonic beast in an instant, circling around its thick neck once.


    Amidst a flash of blood, the Rank-3 bull monster¡¯s entire body burst out with a dull gray earthen light, miraculously blocking the Primordial Yang Sword Sha and avoiding decapitation.


    Chen Mobai frowned, almost ready to unleash the Extreme Sun Slash.


    Thunderous rumbles!


    The ground split open, and a massive centipede surged out, knocking over the newly rooted Golden Sun Spirit Tree managed by Mu Yuan. Then, opening its sharp fangs, it lunged at Yuan Zhen holding the Jade Vial.


    Chen Mobai could only redirect the direction of Extreme Sun Slash; a pale white brilliance cleaved from the heavens, splitting the huge emerging centipede monster from head to tail into two halves.


    But by then, the bull monster had already charged forward.


    The deep, black ox horn, gleaming with dark thunderlight, heavily charged at Chen Mobai.


    He could have easily dodged using the Underworld Array, but Yuan Zhen was right behind him.


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows as he assessed the current situation. Although he felt that with the foundation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Yuan Zhen wouldn¡¯t entirely entrust her life to him and surely had her own means of survival.


    But since he had taken the Spirit Stone, he had to do his utmost.


    Chen Mobai commanded the Five Elements Sect with his Divine Sense to continue deploying the Five Elements Dao Soldiers to intercept the demonic beasts, ordering another cultivator from the Water Vein in the Foundation Establishment to take over the Ren Water Daoist Soldier, while directing them to let the third-order demonic beasts pass.


    Then, a burst of brilliant, multicolored airflow surged from the palm of his hand as he reached out and grasped the charging ox horn.


    The moment they made contact, the earth-thunder light instantly dissipated.


    Primordial True Qi even spread from his palm, quickly enveloping the entire gray-black bull monster, dissolving all the essence energy protection on its body.


    With a flick of his Divine Sense, the swift orange-red light instantly returned, circling around the neck once more.


    In a burst of blood, the third-order bull monster, lacking its essence energy protection, could no longer withstand the slash of the Primordial Yang Sword Evil. The ox horn, along with the bull¡¯s head, was removed by Chen Mobai.


    After slaying two third-order demonic beasts, Chen Mobai felt that nearly half of the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea had been depleted, just as he was contemplating taking a short rest.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and two mountainous giant apes, roaring and leading their tribe, charged towards this location from the distance.


    It was the two Mountain Giant Apes that he and Yuan Zhen had earlier shaken off.


    With each step they took, the ground trembled.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this Green Mirage Bottle of mine is rank-4. By burning a drop of my essence blood, I can perform a rank-4 sword technique. Please protect me for a moment.¡±


    At this moment, seeing the two Mountain Giant Apes approaching, Yuan Zhen also became a bit restless. Although she had almost exhausted her spiritual power using the Green Mirage Bottle, she still wanted to lend a helping hand.


    After all, she was very aware of the strength of these two Mountain Giant Apes¨Cthick-skinned, robust, and vigorous, almost the rulers of this entire barren land.


    Yuan Zhen even suspected that the demonic beasts in this barren land, driven by these top-tier third-order Mountain Giant Apes, had no choice but to enter the Mirage Fog to hide.


    Just now, Chen Mobai¡¯s slaying of two third-order demonic beasts made her feel inferior, but she was very clear about the spiritual power consumption when a Golden Core Cultivator stimulated a rank-4 ultimate move.


    In her view, following the Extreme Sun Slash and integration with Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power would definitely not suffice to slay these two Mountain Giant Apes.


    She could burn a drop of essence blood to perform a formidable sword technique.


    Chen Mobai, however, was better off conserving his spiritual power to deal with the possible appearance of third-order or even numerous other demonic beasts swarming from all directions.


    ¡°Just wait a moment, True Person Yuan. I will return shortly!¡±


    However, towards Yuan Zhen¡¯s plan, Chen Mobai only said this much with his back to her.


    Immediately, he stepped forward, performing the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, intercepting the two Mountain Giant Apes.


    During this process, an External Incarnation¡¯s small Void opened beside Chen Mobai, from which Pure Yang Spiritual Power poured out, refilling his Dantian Qi Sea to overflow.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    The two Mountain Giant Apes pounded their chests, clenched their fists, and leaped from the ground, swinging their massive fists at Chen Mobai in crossing motions!


    Following that, Yuan Zhen saw a faint white flash horizontally slashing out, severing both enormous fists that had reached nearly to Chen Mobai.


    Amid two massive roars of rage, the Mountain Giant Apes unleashed nearly rank-4 pressure, seemingly tapping into their Innate Divine Ability as another two fists swung out, forcibly shattering the Extreme Sun Slash aimed at their heads.


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhen bit down on her silver teeth, ready to burn her essence blood to activate her Flying Sword!


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Suddenly, a thunderous boom resounded through the skies.


    A Void opened, and a longsword entwined with Purple Lightning was drawn by Chen Mobai, accompanied by an arc of purple Sword Qi, already severing the fist of the lead Mountain Giant Ape.


    With the Purple Electric Sword in hand, Chen Mobai, amidst midair, wielded thunder, like the God of Thunder.

    After one sword strike, another followed¨Cthree strikes in total, breaking the protective demonic aura of the two Mountain Giant Apes. Then, with a fourth strike, one Mountain Giant Ape was already slain.


    As another External Incarnation¡¯s small Void opened, replenishing his spiritual power once again, Chen Mobai¡¯s fifth strike was launched.


    The second Mountain Giant Ape collapsed thunderously!


    The entire land trembled violently as if a severe earthquake had occurred.


    Although the strength of the two Mountain Giant Apes was slightly unexpected for Chen Mobai, to him, after drawing his sword, it was merely a minor episode!

 Chapter 1311 - Chapter 1311 Chapter 722 Equally Matched

    Chapter 1311: Chapter 722: Equally Matched Chapter 1311: Chapter 722: Equally Matched Yuan Zhen¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Chen Mobai consecutively unleash five strikes that killed two profoundly powerful Mountain Giant Apes.


    She had personally experienced the might of these demonic beasts, confident in her ability to defeat one alone when at her peak.


    However, facing the both of them together, her best option would have been to avoid conflict.


    Had there been no other choice but to face them head-on, using her trump card moves, she could just barely manage to slay both.


    But Chen Mobai had dispatched the demonic beasts effortlessly, something she certainly could not do.


    This Sect Master Chen from the remote area of East Wasteland Village, his cultivation hasn¡¯t reached the late stage of Core Formation, right?


    ¡°His talent might even surpass mine!¡±


    This thought crossed Yuan Zhen¡¯s mind, making it difficult for her, the heir of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, to accept.


    The last time she felt this way, it was in front of Ye Qing!


    This meant that within the entire Jiutian Dangmo Sect, perhaps only Ye Qing could firmly suppress this Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect.


    Could he actually be someone raised in the Eastern Wilderness by the First Origin Dao Palace?


    This thought suddenly appeared in Yuan Zhen¡¯s mind.


    During this time, with flames flickering, Chen Mobai, who had gathered the Demon Cores, returned to Yuan Zhen¡¯s side, holding his sword.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, the third-order demonic beasts nearby should only have been these three, and they¡¯ve been dealt with.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled as he spoke to Yuan Zhen, who was still coming to her senses, observing the youth with a strong and delicate appearance in front of her, causing her to blush slightly and nod gently.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Though the threat of the third-order demonic beasts was gone, the number of demonic beasts within the Mirage Fog was still vast, so they remained in danger.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had the Returning Essence Secret Technique, creating a Small Void that continuously replenished his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Under his support, though the Five Elements Dao Soldiers were breached again and again, the orange-red spiritual lights always arrived just in time, severing the bodies of the encroaching beasts about to wreak havoc.


    Chen Mobai noticed that the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect had depleted much of their spiritual power, and the Five Elements Dao Soldiers began to dim, struggling to keep up.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, we might need to retreat.¡±


    Chen Mobai, after slaying three second-order demonic beasts with the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, spoke gravely to Yuan Zhen.


    If this continued, the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect would exhaust their spiritual power entirely.


    Even if he could still fight, it wouldn¡¯t be possible to ensure everyone¡¯s safe evacuation alone.


    ¡°My elder brother hasn¡¯t returned yet, let¡¯s wait a bit longer¡­¡±


    But Yuan Zhen shook her head, and just then, a loud boom sounded.


    The two turned their heads to look.


    They saw Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai¡¯s Flying Boat, under the attack of more than a dozen second-order demonic beasts, start to crack open from the middle.


    The breakage of the Flying Boat caused the formations and restrictions attached to it to start breaking down and failing.


    Bright spiritual lights flared up as several Foundation Establishment practitioners immediately jumped off the Flying Boat, followed by Qi Practitioners who had flying Spirit Talismans and Magic Artifacts. Those without leaped towards the ground.


    But the slower-moving cultivators were overwhelmed by the ceaseless surge of demonic beasts and were torn into pieces.


    With a flick of his divine sense, Chen Mobai sent the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, slashing through the beasts in a quick round, but the number of enemies was too overwhelming. After killing dozens, hundreds more surged forward.


    At that moment, Yu Hai took out a God Thunderbolt, hurling it directly at the broken Flying Boat.


    Accompanied by a dazzling golden brilliance, the Flying Boat transformed into a massive fireball in mid-air, roaring with flames.


    Hundreds of demonic beasts screamed as they tried to escape the fireball, but halfway through, they lost their vitality, turning into charred corpses that fell down like black raindrops.


    ¡°So this is the Sunlight Divine Thunder of the Sun Bathing Sea, truly formidable.¡±


    Chen Mobai, stationed at the center, observing all directions, had sensed the explosive and powerful energy contained within the God Thunderbolt when Yu Hai threw it, and had preemptively retracted the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    The Sunlight Divine Thunder is the Sun Bathing Sea¡¯s Rank-3 Thunder method, after crafting it into a God Thunderbolt, it enables Foundation Establishment practitioners to deploy it.


    Above the Sunlight Divine Thunder, there was the Rank-4 Sunlight Divine Thunder which the Baiwu Ancestor once used during the campaign against the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast, obliterating the water in the center of Cloud Dream Swamp in one strike, the power terrifying.


    After the destruction of the Flying Boat, Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai immediately employed their own Magic Artifacts and rushed towards Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen to join up with these two Core Formation cultivators.


    As for the other Loose Cultivators, they naturally didn¡¯t bother about their fate.


    ¡°Pilot the Flying Boats to land, and close the formation!¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai felt it was time to retreat; they couldn¡¯t wait for Ye Qing in this location any longer.


    Under his command, the five Flying Boats started flying towards him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Five Elements Dao Soldiers disbanded at this time as well.


    The intense clash left Mu Yuan and others pale, showing that both their divine senses and spiritual power had reached their limits.


    Chen Mobai immediately ordered other cultivators like Liu Wenbo to take the lead.


    Due to previously confronting a third-order buffalo demon, the Water Vein had already lost a Foundation Establishment practitioner, and the situation was extremely critical.


    Chen Mobai immediately sent Gu Yan from the Wood Vein Flying Boat to substitute and control the Ren Water Taoist Soldier for the Water Vein!

 Chapter 1312 - Chapter 1312 Chapter 722 Equally Matched_2

    Chapter 1312: Chapter 722: Equally Matched_2 Chapter 1312: Chapter 722: Equally Matched_2 Before, to cultivate this maid, Chen Mobai had also let her take charge of the formation, letting her experience the power of the Daoist Soldiers.


    Unexpectedly, what once were selfish acts now proved to be greatly useful.


    After the rotation of the Foundation Establishment practitioners in charge of the formation, the overall power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers diminished significantly.


    This was not only because Liu Wenbo and the others could not compare to Mu Yuan and his group, but also because the Qi Practitioners, who formed the foundation of the formation, had already consumed much of their spiritual power.


    Now they were all holding Spirit Stones while supplying energy to the Five Elements Dao Soldiers!


    Chen Mobai dispersed his Extreme Sun Slash into nine clusters of Golden Flame, and then, with nine Flame Sun Slashes extending a hundred meters in cooperation with the orange-red streaks of light, he cut through the heavens and earth for over a dozen rounds, carving out time for the rotation of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.


    At the same time, he also carved out a path of survival for those Loose Cultivators who fell from the Flying Boat, who, seizing the opportunity as Chen Mobai depleted his spiritual power in a great slaughter, rushed towards the two Golden Core Cultivators just like Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai.


    However, even then, only around twenty or thirty people managed to escape a disaster.


    After a burst of killing, Chen Mobai felt the emptiness in his Dantian Qi Sea and once again opened a Small Void to replenish his spiritual power.


    At this time, the reformed Five Elements Dao Soldiers appeared around him, like five protector Heavenly Gods, keeping all the Five Elements Sect disciples and others on the Flying Boat safeguarded at the very center under his command.


    ¡°Sect Master Yuan¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai urged again, and Yuan Zhen now also saw the situation.


    Thinking that if Ye Qing with his cultivation level could not slay the Devil Cultivator, it would be useless for them to stay, she clenched her teeth and nodded.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first, and find a safe place to wait for our Senior Brother!¡±


    The two objectives for this time were accomplished; the Green Mirage Bottle had been empowered and was ready to be taken back for the Profound Heaven True Monarch to refine the Mirage Dragon Essence and turn it into a true Fifth-Level Magical Treasure.


    That was also Yuan Zhen¡¯s mission.


    Seeing her nod, Chen Mobai also breathed a sigh of relief. He had already made up his mind that if Yuan Zhen did not agree, he would have to lead the Five Elements Sect disciples to withdraw on his own.


    After all, the loss of these Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivating Disciples here would be a bone-deep wound for the Five Elements Sect.


    It would probably take ten years to recover from such a blow.


    Under the command of Chen Mobai to retreat, the slightly smaller Daoist Soldiers began to move back beyond the original fog.


    Naturally, this led to another fierce struggle.


    But under Chen Mobai¡¯s watch, the number of casualties was minimal.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai did not forget to take the corpses of the two Third-Order Demon Beasts with him. Although there were many valuable parts from the bodies of other Rank-2 Demonic Beasts, amidst such intense circumstances, these had to be abandoned.


    Not knowing how many more Demonic Beasts he had slain, Chen Mobai felt the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea drop once again by half, even his Divine Sense was starting to feel fatigued.


    It was fortunate that he had come. If it were any other Golden Core Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect, they would likely be a corpse by now if they didn¡¯t flee.


    Finally, they broke through the expanse originally covered by the fog.


    The Demonic Beasts, who had been furiously swarming, seemed to have an instinct in their blood that prevented them from crossing that boundary¨Ceven though all the Mirage Fog had been taken away by Yuan Zhen, they still respected it.


    But Chen Mobai and the others couldn¡¯t relax just yet.


    The Mountain Giant Ape Clan groups guarding the outside were roaring as they charged over.


    After Chen Mobai killed two of their leaders, most had scattered, but about twenty Mountain Giant Apes, seemingly of direct lineage, sought revenge.


    A flash of orange brilliance passed, and Chen Mobai sent them straight to the Underworld as well.


    Yuan Zhen suggested resting here to wait for Ye Qing to come out.


    But Chen Mobai felt that without the Mirage Fog, those hesitant Demonic Beasts inside might overcome their instincts and pour out.


    So, he led the Five Elements Sect disciples to retreat several dozen miles further.


    This place was the territory of the Mountain Giant Apes, housing a Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    As soon as the Flying Boat appeared, the Mountain Giant Apes began to scatter in all directions.


    Chen Mobai chose not to give chase; he commanded the utterly exhausted Five Elements Sect disciples, with their spiritual power almost drained, to disembark from the Flying Boat and rest upon the Spirit Vein.


    Most cultivators, once they landed, didn¡¯t care about waste; they took out their Spirit Stones and began holding them to restore their Spiritual Power.


    Some with deeper foundations managed to hold on and were assigned by Chen Mobai to Chun Yusu, instructing the latter to set up a Rank-3 Mysterious Five Elements Formation brought with them.


    Yuan Zhen stood at the highest peak of the mountain, which perfectly overlooked the original location of the Mirage Fog.


    As Chen Mobai anticipated, although they acted on instinct, there were still some spiritually aware demonic beasts cautiously stepping out of the bounds that had imprisoned them for life.


    One paw stepped out, and after no mishaps, half, and finally their entire bodies, charged out.


    After the first demonic beast emerged, it was quickly followed by a second and a third¡­


    In the end, the demonic beasts originally bound by the Mirage Fog began to flood out in a great expanse.


    However, Chen Mobai and his group had already strategically retreated, and without their leaders, many of the beasts scattered, with quite a few engaging in mutual slaughter and even large-scale battles between different clans.


    But there were also many demonic beasts running in their direction.


    It was unclear whether they knew their location or if it was just blind luck.


    Facing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother anymore.


    The Five Elements Sect disciples below were able to handle it.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I can take care of things here. Could I ask you to go and check on my senior brother?¡± Yuan Zhen suddenly asked, and Chen Mobai turned his head in surprise to meet her gaze.


    Her eyes used to look down on him.


    Why was she so polite now?


    It was somewhat unfamiliar.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.


    Mainly, he was curious about Ye Qing¡¯s strength and wanted to see for himself just what the capabilities of the top Golden Core Cultivator in the Tianhe Realm were.


    He relayed a message to Liu Wenbo, then threw a Sword Box down to his eldest disciple from the top of the mountain.


    After leaving behind the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Chen Mobai piloted the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± toward the distant colossal dragon-serpent phantom and the clear and cold Sword Light that illuminated the sky.


    However, as he was about to reach the battlefield of Ye Qing and the Devil Cultivator, he saw that clear Sword Light in the sky suddenly burst forth with light, and in the distant starry sky, a series of dazzling stars began to twinkle.


    The starlight fell like wheels, directly caught by a clear water-like Flying Sword, turning into a brilliant flash of light that split the nearly godlike, coiling dragon-serpent above the mountain head in two from head to tail.


    The remaining momentum of the light didn¡¯t stop there; it fell upon the top of a figure shrouded in a black robe on the mountain peak.


    This must have been the Devil Cultivator. After his Heavenly Demon Avatar was slain, he produced a multicolored scale, seemingly attempting to block Ye Qing¡¯s sword strike.


    Yet as the Flying Sword passed by, it seemed to become a phantom sword, directly piercing the multicolored scale and decapitating the man in the black robe.


    After slaying the enemy, the energy still lingering on the Flying Sword finally dissipated, splitting the whole mountain on which the Devil Cultivator stood into a massive fissure, as if cleaving the mountain in two.


    Seeing this sword strike, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    Even from a great distance, he could feel a chilling horror rising from the depths of his heart as if facing this sword, any Defensive Magic Weapon would be useless, and one would have to rely on one¡¯s own flesh and Spiritual Power to resist!


    If he were to face it head-on, could his Longevity Dao Body withstand it?


    For the first time, Chen Mobai encountered a Golden Core Cultivator with whom he was not certain of victory.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He briefly simulated a confrontation between himself and Ye Qing, feeling that as long as he didn¡¯t face him head-on and deployed the Underworld Array, he could still avoid that sword.


    Arriving here, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at Ye Qing¡¯s strength.


    This was the Taoist Child of the Eastern Earth Holy Land, the top Golden Core in the Tianhe Realm!


    Truly formidable!


    To think he, a disciple of the Immortal Gate with Qualification of Deification, might be evenly matched.

 Chapter 1313 - Chapter 1313 Chapter 723 Farewell

    Chapter 1313: Chapter 723: Farewell Chapter 1313: Chapter 723: Farewell While Chen Mobai was pondering his chances of victory in a clash with Ye Qing, the latter had already collected the Devil Cultivator¡¯s corpse along with the storage bag.


    Then, with a flick of his sword finger, the flying sword shot back like a startled swan, returning to its sheath on his back.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, have you practiced the Body Refining Technique?¡±


    After flying over, Ye Qing asked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I have cultivated our Five Elements Sect¡¯s Longevity Dao Body to the Third Rank Peak, which is quite decent.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat puzzled by Ye Qing¡¯s question but still humbly responded.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Sect Master Chen, please hold my hand. I will use the Unity of Man and Sword Technique to take you away shortly.¡±


    Ye Qing made this request, causing a look of confusion on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, but he quickly changed expression and looked up at the northern sky.


    Quack!


    Quack!


    Quack!


    A massive frog croak that shook the void came, and a terrifying demonic aura settled heavily, turning the sky into a gloomy gray cloud. It seemed as if a pitch-black firmament, along with a tremendously powerful Demon King, was charging this way.


    Fourth Order!


    Certainly, a Fourth Order, or even higher, powerful demonic beast!


    The moment Chen Mobai observed with the Art of Spiritual Eyes, this thought emerged in his mind.


    This must be the ruler of these ruins, just like the Fourth Order Poisonous Dragon from Yun Meng Ze, possessing absolute authority over this area.


    Such beings, I¡¯m afraid even Zhou Shengqing would have no choice but to flee if he were here.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I will take you away from here first.¡±


    At this moment, Ye Qing extended his right hand to Chen Mobai, who did not hesitate and took it.


    Then with a thunderous sound, the two men vanished in a flash, as if they were a bolt of electricity.


    Chen Mobai felt the scenery before his eyes stretch out, and when he regained his senses, miles of mountains had already come into view, but then waves of intense pain throughout his body made him involuntarily gasp in shock.


    Fortunately, his Longevity Dao Body was best at recovery.


    After a few breaths, Chen Mobai felt the nearly tearing pain throughout his body slowly dissipate.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen¡¯s Longevity Dao Body is indeed extraordinary,¡±


    Ye Qing¡¯s voice rang in Chen Mobai¡¯s ear.


    Chen Mobai looked up and saw that the Taoist Child from the Holy Land seemed unaffected, appearing to have adapted to the speed of the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound under Unity of Man and Sword.


    [I may have underestimated him a bit; he might be stronger than I am.]


    This thought flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    At this time, a stream of Spiritual Light descended, revealing a girl with bright eyes and white teeth ¨C it was Yuan Zhen.


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s composed expression, a flicker of respect flashed in her eyes.


    As Ye Qing¡¯s partner, she was most aware of her senior brother¡¯s prowess in sword escape. She herself couldn¡¯t handle it and needed to use a Spirit Talisman to protect her body each time.


    Unexpectedly, this Sect Master Chen from the Eastern Wilderness also had such outstanding achievements in the Body Refining Technique.


    ¡°Junior sister, cast a Sky-Concealing Talisman.¡±


    Ye Qing told Yuan Zhen, who nodded, took out a talisman with a black base and golden patterns, and upon activation, Chen Mobai felt as if his own and the Five Elements Sect disciples¡¯ presence had all become undetectable.


    Although they were directly opposite him, neither the Art of Spiritual Eyes nor the Divine Consciousness Searching Heaven and Earth could sense any fluctuations of Spiritual Power or Qi and blood.


    Just after the talisman was activated, a vast and mighty demonic consciousness swept over through the mid-air.


    Clearly, it was the same terrifying Fourth Order demonic beast from over a hundred miles away.


    However, the talismans of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect were obviously more profound and mysterious, escaping the beast¡¯s detection entirely.


    To avoid any accidents, Chen Mobai still instructed the Five Elements Sect disciples and the Loose Cultivators present to maintain the quietest and most covert stance.


    Within half a day, that powerful demonic consciousness swept back and forth three times.


    Ultimately finding nothing, it completely disappeared.


    ¡°This should be a Fourth Order Golden-eyes Azure Toad. I¡¯m not confident enough to confront it with my current strength.¡±


    Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief after sensing the departure of the demonic consciousness.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s retreat for now. This area was previously the Mountain Giant Ape¡¯s territory. If the Golden-eyes Azure Toad is smart enough, it might infer our presence here from the traces of the Mountain Giant Ape¡¯s disappearance.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with concern, and Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen nodded in agreement.


    Their mission had been accomplished, and it was time to leave the Ruins.


    After reaching a consensus, Chen Mobai promptly called the Five Elements Sect disciples to begin the retreat.


    ¡°The vision of the Golden-eyes Azure Toad can reach a thousand miles. Now, without the Mirage Fog to obstruct it, it might detect us if we leave by Flying Boat in the air; it would be better to use the cover of trees and mountains to retreat on the ground.¡±


    Ye Qing spoke again, revealing something Chen Mobai was not aware of.


    ¡°Thank you, True Person Ye, for the warning.¡±

    Chen Mobai immediately ordered the Five Elements Sect disciples who were preparing to pilot the Flying Boat into the sky to stop and relayed the command.


    Although the disciples below had not yet fully recovered their Spiritual Power, they soon finished their preparations under the command of the higher-ups.


    Chen Mobai also informed Shen Shanqing, Yu Hai, and their group.


    They had also felt the might of that Fourth Order demonic beast, and being keen on preserving their lives, they naturally followed the Five Elements Sect in leaving.


    The Cultivators acted quickly, opening their Storage Bags and packing all their belongings.

 Chapter 1314 - Chapter 1314 723 Chapter Goodbye_2

    Chapter 1314: 723 Chapter Goodbye_2 Chapter 1314: 723 Chapter Goodbye_2 ¡°I will clear the path ahead; Sect Master Chen and Junior Sister Yuan will cover the rear. She has exhausted her elemental energy using the Green Mirage Bottle, so if danger arises, please take care of her,¡± Ye Qing offered, and Chen Mobai naturally had no objections.


    After finishing his words, Ye Qing transformed into a streak of sword light and instantly landed at the very front of the formation.


    Chen Mobai immediately used his divine sense to transmit sound, directing the cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians. Under the guidance of the leading Foundation Establishment Practitioners from each vein, the groups began to retreat towards the ruins¡¯ outskirts in an orderly sequence.


    Fortunately, on the way here, Chen Mobai had instructed Gu Yan to map out the terrain from the air, so even though they were now retreating on the ground, they were still able to maintain their direction with the help of the map.


    To avoid conflicts with the demonic beasts and to escape the attention of the Fourth Order Golden-eyes Azure Toad, the group deliberately avoided paths with Third Order Demon Beasts settling in.


    Because of this, they had to take a significantly longer detour.


    However, the daunting pressure from the Fourth Order Demon Beast kept everyone tense, closely following the main group, terrified of being left behind.


    According to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, those who dare to slow down during a retreat may be abandoned or even executed by the leaders, an action that everyone endorsed and celebrated.


    After the previous battle within the Mirage Fog, both the members of the Five Elements Sect and the loose cultivators understood that if they were left behind here, they would never escape back to the Eastern Wilderness.


    Fortunately, Gu Yan¡¯s map was quite accurate, and with Ye Qing leading the way reliably, they encountered only minor trouble.


    At about three hundred li away near a river, they ran into a large group of hiding fish demons.


    Chen Mobai and Ye Qing struck together; their crisscrossing sword lights in a blink of an eye slaughtered the group of fish demons that had surfaced.


    However, the number of fish demons in the river was countless.


    After slaughtering this first batch, another batch surged towards them from the distant parts of the river.


    ¡°Cross the river quickly!¡± Chen Mobai advised as he pointed his finger and the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± unfurled from his sleeve, swiftly forming a bridge of clouds over the river.


    Protective cloud light railings rose on both sides of the cloud bridge, bolstered by his spiritual power, blocking the fiercely-teeth fish demons leaping from the water.


    Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhen returned the talisman she had taken out from her storage bag.


    Just when they thought they had resolved the issue, a sudden upsurge occurred in the distant river followed by an eruption of deep ice-blue demonic energy.


    A Third Order Demon Beast was driving waves, along with numerous fish demons, sweeping towards them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll handle it!¡± Ye Qing dropped these words after he had already drawn the longsword from his back. Standing on the river surface, he moved like a sharp sword cutting through the waves and vanished from the spot.


    In no time, Chen Mobai saw the large green fish hidden in the waves chopped in half, its dark red blood staining the incoming waves.


    Yet, without the demonic energy¡¯s enhancement, Chen Mobai easily suppressed the waves with the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk.¡±


    Amidst the flashing sword light, Ye Qing appeared before Chen Mobai holding a demon core and a piece of luminous green jade-like fish scale.


    ¡°This big green fish seemed to have swallowed a Dragon Transformation Fruit or similar heavenly and earthly treasures. It actually had a dragon scale,¡± Ye Qing remarked, tossing the demon core and dragon scale to Yuan Zhen, who immediately caught them.


    After slaying the big green fish, the vast river finally calmed down.


    Once all the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators had crossed the river, Chen Mobai lightly waved his sleeve, retracting the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk.¡±


    Just then, several potent Third Order Demon Beasts¡¯ presences surged from upper and lower streams of the river, driving massive waves towards them.


    ¡°Go!¡± Chen Mobai exchanged glances with Ye Qing, both speaking in unison.


    Although they were capable of slaying these demonic beasts with their strength, they were unsure about the number of hidden demonic beasts in the ruins.


    What if there were Fourth Order demonic beasts lurking in this vast river?


    Thus, without any hesitation, they immediately urged the cultivators who had reached the bank to retreat swiftly towards the direction of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Fortunately, the only surprise turned out to be this wide river.


    Subsequently, the demonic beasts within the mountains and rivers of the ground below were mostly recorded by Gu Yan during their aerial approach.


    ¡°If avoidance is an option, take it; if not, Chen Mobai and Ye Qing were the ones to act, eliminating all threats as swiftly as possible, striving to avoid any loud disturbances.¡±


    It was not until they had traveled 1200 li beyond the range of the Mirage Fog, ensuring that the Fourth Order Golden-eyes Azure Toad could not possibly see them, that Chen Mobai took out the Flying Boat and had everyone board.


    By this time, the Qi Practitioners were already utterly exhausted.


    Even the Foundation Establishment Practitioners appeared weary.


    Once aboard the Flying Boat, Loose Cultivators immediately took out various elixirs to consume, restoring their Spiritual Power and Essence.


    The situation was quite varied among members of the Five Elements Sect.


    However, cultivators from the Wood Vein did not consume any elixirs; instead, they took out Spirit Stones and began to meditate.


    There were also some cultivators who were extremely fatigued; they consumed Fasting Pills and immediately fell into a deep sleep, allowing their bodies to rest and naturally recover their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.


    Upon waking up refreshed, they too used Spirit Stones to restore their Spiritual Power.


    This scene took Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen by surprise.


    As heirs of a Holy Land, they knew that frequent consumption of elixirs could destabilize one¡¯s foundation, making it risky to break through to higher realms in the future.


    But even though many were aware, not many cultivators had the self-discipline to act accordingly.


    Even among the sect members of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, many consumed elixirs to force their advancement, vying for resources and positions within the sect.


    Yet, in the remote Five Elements Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, there were so many cultivators who could maintain such discipline, earning further respect for Chen Mobai as their Sect Leader.


    They traveled another thousand li on the Flying Boat.


    The group had now entered the ruins between the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, a region that, despite being ruins, was less dangerous due to the traffic between the two regions.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, we will not be returning to the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen flew over and landed on the Wood Vein¡¯s Flying Boat, addressing Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Take care, both of you.¡±


    Chen Mobai also bid farewell to the two, not mentioning any compensation, but clearly Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen were not ones to renege on their promises, with Yuan Zhen pulling out a fist-sized, crystal-clear Spirit Stone from her storage bag and handing it to him.


    ¡°This is¡­ a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone!¡±


    Chen Mobai took it with a trace of surprise; upon touching it, he felt an immense Spiritual Energy within and couldn¡¯t help but appear startled.


    Although he had three charged ones, this was his first encounter with such an untouched, full-energy Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.


    ¡°This is too precious.¡±


    While Chen Mobai truly desired it, he still politely refused at first.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please accept it. With the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in hand, you can break through realms anywhere. We hope you can come to the East Land in the future. With your talent, you are well-suited to compete for the position of Taoist Child in the First Origin Dao Palace.¡±


    Yuan Zhen said with a smile, making Ye Qing beside her slightly puzzled.


    This Junior Sister of his had always been rather high-spirited, previously even complaining that they were giving too many Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai. Why was she now not only switching to a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone but also adopting such a gentle and soft demeanor?


    ¡°Since that is so, I sincerely thank both True Persons.¡±


    Hearing Yuan Zhen say this, Chen Mobai, who was already keen on the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, immediately put it into his storage bag.


    Just then, Yu Hai also flew over.


    He and the other two from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect would travel with him to the East Barbarians and then take the Large-scale Transmission Array at Golden Crow Immortal City back to the East Land.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, before returning, they still needed to make a trip to Kong Sang Valley to inquire about the matter of the Corpse Cultivator.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this is my Message Talisman; remember to find us when you come to the East Land.¡±


    Before leaving, Yuan Zhen handed another Taoist Talisman Paper to Chen Mobai, as Ye Qing had also done earlier.


    ¡°Until we meet again!¡±


    Chen Mobai took the Message Talisman and bowed to the two.

 Chapter 1315 - Chapter 1315 Chapter 724 Taoist Saintess of the Three Great

    Chapter 1315: Chapter 724 Taoist Saintess of the Three Great Sacred Lands (Monthly Ticket 28800 Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1315: Chapter 724 Taoist Saintess of the Three Great Sacred Lands (Monthly Ticket 28800 Bonus Chapter) Ye Qing and his group left, and Chen Mobai ordered the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to take their final rest.


    After that, they would make an energetic return to the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I really owe you a lot this time.¡±


    Chen Mobai flew in midair, looking around to prevent any powerful demonic beasts from approaching. Shen Shanqing, seeing this, flew up to him and sincerely thanked him.


    ¡°Chef Shen, you are too polite. You are a resident of Northern Abyss City after all. Since we are on the same path, as long as I am able, I will definitely protect you.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the truth¨Che would certainly only protect the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect if the situation turned dire.


    ¡°It would be so much better if there were more people like Sect Master Chen in this world.¡±


    Little did he know, after hearing this, Shen Shanqing couldn¡¯t help but express his admiration.


    What Chen Mobai considered basic moral principles seemed like the virtues of a sage to the Cultivators of the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°After the two True Persons from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect came to the Eastern Wilderness, the first person they sought was Chef Shen. It truly shows the renown of the Sky Meal Building.¡±


    Chen Mobai changed the topic, thinking that if he ever went to the East Land, he could use the channels of the Sky Meal Building.


    ¡°The Sky Meal Building once hosted the Profound Heaven True Monarch with Cannon Dragon Cooking Phoenix, two esteemed ancestors. We could leverage the reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. Thus, when Real Person Ye and Real Person Yuan came, they asked me to help gather a group of loose cultivators. But to venture into the Ruins, only your sect has the capability. So when I learned of it, I strongly suggested that Real Person Ye invite Sect Master Chen for help.¡±


    Shen Shanqing revealed the hidden circumstances, which explained why Ye Qing actively sought Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This time, my sect has gained a lot from the Ruins, and I must thank Chef Shen for that.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai bowed his fist to Shen Shanqing, who immediately stepped back and waved his hands modestly, not daring to accept it.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, it¡¯s good enough that you don¡¯t blame me for dragging your sect into this.¡±


    ¡°Chef Shen speaks too gravely. Real Person Ye also politely invited me, which I could have declined. Besides, the strength of my Five Elements Sect is well-known to everyone in Northern Abyss City, even without you mentioning it.¡±


    These words made Shen Shanqing even more moved.


    Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, when encountering various matters, often assume the worst about their enemies. Someone as morally upright as Chen Mobai is indeed rare.


    ¡°If the Primordial Void Dao Child could have such a sage as Sect Master Chen in the lead, maybe it truly could revive the prestige of the Holy Land.¡±


    This remark from Shen Shanqing piqued Chen Mobai¡¯s curiosity, prompting him to inquire about the situation of the First Origin Dao Palace in the East Land.


    ¡°What I know happened before coming to the Eastern Wilderness. After repelling Ming Zun, the First Origin Dao Palace announced it was closing its doors, yet there is still one who travels the world maintaining the prestige of the Holy Land.¡±


    ¡°The worldly traveler of the First Origin Dao Palace is mainly the Taoist Saintess. Initially, it was good, and they could compete with other sacred lands of the same rank.¡±


    ¡°But a hundred years ago, the worldly travelers of the First Origin Dao Palace were successively defeated by the Taoist Children of the three great sacred lands. Finally, on their way back to their sect, they were ambushed by a Magic Daoist Monk, resulting in the tragic death of the Primordial Taoist Child and the kidnapping of the Saintess, whose whereabouts remain unknown.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a slight shock and a profound sense of shared disgrace.


    After all, in the eyes of those in the Tianhe Realm, their Five Elements Sect was like a branch established by the First Origin Dao Palace in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he could one day lead the First Origin Dao Palace, he would definitely cleanse this dishonor.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai asked for more intelligence about the East Land.


    Although Shen Shanqing had been opening markets in the Eastern Wilderness for recent decades, having been a cultivator native to the East Land, he had clear knowledge of each major Holy Land and sect. Moreover, the Sky Meal Building, having branches throughout the six realms of the Eastern Region, served as an excellent center for information exchange.


    For this reason, Ye Qing sought the Sky Meal Building upon arriving in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After learning in detail from Shen Shanqing about the local situation and the strength of the Five Elements Sect, they formulated a detailed plan for entering the Ruins.


    ¡°According to the news from the Sky Meal Building, the Taoist Child of the Dao Morale Sect had successfully performed ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ ten years ago. Now it is usually the Saintess who represents the Dao Morale Sect as the worldly traveler. It¡¯s said that if it weren¡¯t for her, she would also be preparing for ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯.¡±


    ¡°While the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace in the East Land is a branch, its main lineage is in the Central State, so the Taoist Child and Saintess of this sacred land spend most of their time outside the East Land, but their strength is not to be underestimated. The Taixu Dao Child possesses a Universe Marvel Vein that can directly The Vein can directly attract the Nine Heavens¡¯ Pure Spirit Immortal Qi; during cultivation, there are no bottlenecks. And the Piaomiao Saintess, reportedly a Void Spirit Body, rarely makes moves but has never been defeated.¡±


    ¡°The rest is the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. As the leader of the East Land, the Profound Heaven True Monarch Yuan Qingque is hailed as the first to undergo Divinity Transformation in the Eastern Region and is said to be the most likely to ascend after the True Lord Yuan. Ye Qing, as a disciple of the Profound Heaven True Monarch and a genius resonating with the Tai Peacekeeping Sword, is almost considered the next Divinity Transformation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect after Yuan Qingque.¡±


    Chen Mobai, reflecting on the capabilities Ye Qing exhibited during their time in the Ruins, nodded slightly.


    Indeed, deserving of the Qualification of Deification accolade.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the Jiutian Dangmo Sect have a Saintess?¡±


    Chen Mobai wondered, noticing that Shen Shanqing mentioned the Taoist Children and Saintesses of each major sacred land, except for this one.


    ¡°The former Saintess of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect died after failing ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ a hundred years ago, leaving the position vacant.¡±


    ¡°There have been a few extraordinarily talented female cultivators who formed cores, but they seemed lacking compared to Taoist Ye. Yuan Zhen is one of them.¡±


    ¡°But after Yuan Zhen completed the spark-transforming of the Green Mirage Bottle, achieving a considerable accomplishment, she should be able to smoothly take over the position of Saintess upon her return.¡±


    Shen Shanqing was indeed a disciple of the Sky Meal Building, well-versed in the various affairs of the Holy Lands.


    ¡°Yuan Zhen, compared to True Person Ye, does indeed seem rather ordinary.¡±


    Chen Mobai reminisced briefly, comparing the abilities of Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen, and couldn¡¯t help but sharply critique.


    If the Taoist Saintess of the Sacred Lands were all at the level of Yuan Zhen, he felt that after reaching Perfection in Core Formation, he could easily break through.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, Real Person Yuan does belong to the Yuan family!¡±


    At this time, Shen Shanqing cautiously reminded him.


    Chen Mobai was taken aback after hearing this.


    What does her being a Yuan have to do with anything?


    Yuan Zhen is just weak!


    She can¡¯t compare to Ye Qing¡­


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, ¡°This Real Person Yuan, does she have any relation to Profound Heaven True Monarch Yuan Qingque?¡±


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, Yuan Zhen is indeed one of the descendants of Profound Heaven True Monarch¡¯s bloodline, which is precisely why she can control the Green Mirage Bottle. If she truly faces a fourth-order demon beast in the Ruins, she can burn her consanguineous essence blood to unleash the power of this fifth-level magical treasure. Her Azure Glede Flying Sword was also once wielded by Profound Heaven True Monarch in his youth.¡±


    Shen Shanqing revealed this secret since he admired Chen Mobai.


    On this trip to the Ruins, although Ye Qing was the most powerful, the real trump card was actually the usually unremarkable Junior Sister Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°Thank you, Chef Shen, for informing me.¡±


    Chen Mobai never imagined that Yuan Zhen had such a background.


    No wonder she could follow Ye Qing, a Daoist Child, and be considered a candidate for Saintess.


    Having learned of Yuan Zhen¡¯s identity, Chen Mobai completely understood her somewhat haughty attitude before.


    If it were him who had alive, world-steadying deified ancestors, he would probably have even more pride than her.


    Chen Mobai even thought Yuan Zhen was quite polite to willingly follow Ye Qing to a place like the Ruins to complete a mission.


    ¡°Most major forces in the East Land are aware of this matter, Sect Master Chen. If you ever visit the First Origin Dao Palace, you should be able to easily inquire about it.¡±


    Shen Shanqing modestly waved his hand, indicating that what he shared was common knowledge in the East Land.


    ¡°What about the First Origin Dao Palace?¡±


    ¡°Ever since the Daoist Child tragically died a century ago and the Saintess disappeared, First Origin Dao Palace has not sent out any members, leading many major sects below the holy lands to feel restless, wishing to replace them.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai truly understood the situation of the First Origin Dao Palace.


    It seems the losses brought by Ming Zun were even more severe than imagined.


    Yet, even in its weakened state, the camel is still bigger than the horse; even without a Divinity Transformation figure, First Origin Dao Palace still has many Nascent Soul Superiors who, in the absence of great calamity, should be able to sustain it for a few hundred years.


    Chen Mobai just hoped that before he completed his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and his cultivation reached greatness, First Origin Dao Palace would not fall.


    Because, regarding ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± while combining the Immortal Gate¡¯s inheritance with the resources of Tianhe Realm, he had many methods.


    Especially having acquired the Primordial Dao Fruit and refined the Primordial True Qi, he felt even more confident.


    But concerning Deification Transformation, he had no confidence!


    Not even knowing how to strive for it.


    After all, Yuanyang Ancestor achieved Deification using Ancient Methods through the Pure Yang Scrolls; he, currently practicing the new Pure Yang Scrolls and only possessing an Acquired Pure Yang Body, wasn¡¯t even sure if he could really make it through.


    If he could obtain the inheritance left by True Lord Yuan before his Ascendance, Chen Mobai felt that combining the knowledge from the Immortal Gate, he might just find an inspiration.


    But the Tianhe Realm side was just too dangerous.


    Chen Mobai felt that without completing ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± going to the East Land would lack a sense of security.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    So he hoped that there wouldn¡¯t be ruthless characters like Ming Zun anytime soon, knocking on the door of First Origin Dao Palace!


    Following this, Chen Mobai further discussed topics about the East Land with Shen Shanqing, even branching out to discuss the entire Eastern Region with its six realms, especially since the Sky Meal Building had branches everywhere.


    In the end, Chen Mobai also asked about the whole five continents and four seas of the Tianhe Realm, to which Shen Shanqing could only bitterly smile and shake his head.


    The Sky Meal Building also tried to open branches in overseas other continents, with Nascent Soul Cultivators like the Cannon Dragon Cooking Phoenix spending long periods battling abroad, but it was said to be consistently unprofitable, and the overall environment outside the Eastern Region was much more harsh and dangerous.


    Being a minor figure like Shen Shanqing, he wasn¡¯t qualified to contact fellow disciples from the overseas other continent branches, hence he naturally knew nothing about it.

 Chapter 1316 - Chapter 1316 Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest

    Chapter 1316: Chapter 725: Tallying the Harvest Chapter 1316: Chapter 725: Tallying the Harvest After finishing the chat with Shen Shanqing, Chen Mobai called Liu Wenbo up and introduced him to Shen, so they could get to know each other.


    After all, both were in business, and if the Little Nan Mountain Shop could expand beyond the Eastern Wilderness in the future, they would certainly need to seek guidance from the Sky Meal Building, a professional force in the field.


    While the two exchanged words, Chen Mobai also ordered the rested disciples of the Five Elements Sect to board the flying boat, preparing to leave the Ruins.


    On the way back, they encountered attacks from demon beasts twice.


    However, with Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, at the rear, the five veins of the Five Elements Sect easily slaughtered the two invading groups of demon beasts by relying on their increasingly skilled Taoist Soldiers.


    Without the oppression of a Fourth Order Demon Beast, they even calmly selected the corpses of these beasts, taking back the valuable parts to the Eastern Wilderness.


    On the way back, Chen Mobai, on the Wood Vein¡¯s flying boat, lectured all the Qi Practitioners about the contents of Foundation Establishment. Although it was common knowledge, it was the first time the disciples of the other four veins had heard it fully and systematically. Even the disciples from the Wood Vein benefited greatly.


    After the Qi Practitioners, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners also came to consult him one by one.


    Chen Mobai was an open book, leaving no topic undiscussed.


    During this, he also spoke honestly to Chun Yusu and Zhu Xicheng, telling them that their chances of reaching Core Formation were basically non-existent.


    Both of them were overage, and their essence, Qi, and spirit were waning.


    Even with Golden Liquid Jade Pill, the chance was slim.


    Even if they took heavenly and earthly treasures that could rejuvenate them and restore their peak essence, Qi, and spirit, the dan poison accrued in their bodies would obstruct the final Core Formation phase.


    At this, Zhu Xicheng was very disappointed. However, having lived over two hundred years, he had been waiting for death and anticipated this outcome.


    He had come this time just to assure himself that he had done his best.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I¡¯ve heard that above the Elixir Scripture there is an alchemy recipe called Nirvana Dan, which can rejuvenate the flesh and remove all dan poison,¡± Chun Yusu asked with some unwillingness to give up.


    Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, unsure of where he had learned of it.


    However, in recent years, with the Wood Vein and Back to Sky Valley collaborating to collect various precious medicinal herbs all over the world and after revealing the information about Liquid Gold Jade Pill to the Five Elements Meridians, it was normal for Chun Yusu, the Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioner second only to Zhou Ye in the Earth Vein, to know about this recipe.


    ¡°If there was a Nirvana Dan, plus the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, there might indeed be a glimmer of hope,¡± Chen Mobai nodded, giving Chun Yusu and Zhu Xicheng a definitive answer.


    But this was virtually an impossible affair; first, they could not move Yan Shaoyin.


    Secondly, the ingredients for Nirvana Dan were not something these two could gather completely.


    Even if they actually refined a furnace successfully and they obtained it, due to their age, the chances of success were not high.


    Chen Mobai did not voice these thoughts, as it was always good to give these two Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners a bit of hope.


    As expected, seeing him nod, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of Chun Yusu and Zhu Xicheng.


    Next, it was Ning Leshan and the others¡¯ turn to come for advice.


    Chen Mobai answered the problems they each encountered in their current stage of cultivation.


    Among them, Ban Zhaodan made a particularly deep impression on him.


    This Metal Vein Sword Cultivator was a true genius, not inferior to his contemporary Zha Jianbai. It was just unfortunate that he did not receive the right education at the start and wasted some time due to failing Foundation Establishment, which greatly diminished his chances of reaching Core Formation.


    But what Chen Mobai admired most was that Ban Zhaodan actually emulated him and genuinely took up farming to nurture his sword.


    Although he was meeting his idol, Ban Zhaodan, humble and composed, sought clarification on his confusion about the Sword Dao. After Chen Mobai answered, he turned and started asking detailed questions about farming.


    Ban Zhaodan, though puzzled, answered each question.


    This satisfied Chen Mobai immensely; it showed that Ban Zhaodan was sincere in his efforts. Although his talent for farming was mediocre, his eyes shone brighter when discussing farming than when asking about the Sword Dao.


    ¡°To raise a sword, you need to let it rest properly. When you go back, if you encounter a bottleneck, you can try to put down your sword and focus on farming,¡± Chen Mobai said, then transmitted some of the contents of the Zi Hua Sword Manual to Ban Zhaodan.


    If Ban Zhaodan could comprehend this, not only would Foundation Establishment Completion not be an issue, he could even make a breakthrough in the Sword Dao Realm.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for imparting the teachings!¡± After hearing this, Ban Zhaodan respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.


    The comprehensive and profound Zi Hua Sword Manual had immensely aided Mo Douguang¡¯s advancement. Containing a system of the Sword Dao, it was considered by Eastern Wilderness¡¯s self-taught Sword Cultivators to be the holy scripture of the Sword Dao.

    However, Chen Mobai did not have the time to organize it himself; he hoped that when Mo Douguang achieved Grand Achievement in Sword Dao, he would create a complete Sword Cultivator system for the Five Elements Sect based on the Zi Hua Sword Manual.


    In this way, if a second Ban Zhaodan were to join, he would not have his talent delayed.


    Last to come for advice were the Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Water Vein.


    This was the vein that had suffered the most losses in the Ruins.


    One of them, while evolving a Ren Water Taoist Soldier, was struck by a Third-Order Demon Beast and perished in battle, and after the Taoist Soldier collapsed, many Water Vein Qi Practitioners died from spitting blood.

 Chapter 1317 - Chapter 1317 Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest_2

    Chapter 1317: Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest_2 Chapter 1317: Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest_2 Because of this, among the cultivators who faced the assault of demonic beasts within the Mirage Fog, those attuned to the Five Elements Water Vein suffered the most casualties.


    Chen Mobai felt guilty about this as well.


    However, cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians had all grown accustomed to this situation.


    They even considered it very fortunate that the casualties and injuries from this mission were quite low.


    Compared to their Five Elements Sect, of the loose cultivators recruited by Shen Shanqing, only twenty-seven people ultimately returned alive to Northern Abyss City. They lost seventy percent of their group, and among them were three Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    This was the normal casualty rate for exploring ruins.


    Northern Abyss City.


    After Chen Mobai led the cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians back, he immediately announced their disbandment.


    Following the customs of the Tianhe Realm, cultivators returning from a life-threatening ordeal would immediately start to sell their spoils from the ruins.


    For a time, the prices of demonic beast meat, pelts, and various materials for magic artifacts in Northern Abyss City all began to fall.


    Correspondingly, the prices of talismans, Spirit Rice, cultivation techniques and manuals, and so on, all began to rise.


    This was because those cultivators returning from the ruins had all acquired a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.


    The cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians were doing alright since their own sect had all the various resources they needed. They would only make purchases if they found good quality materials that were also cheap.


    But for loose cultivators, their biggest marketplace was Northern Abyss City.


    They had almost spent all the Spirit Stones they had earned on their journey, with Little Nan Mountain Shop being the most frequented.


    Many loose cultivators came to buy Spirit Rice.


    On the way back, Chen Mobai spoke to the disciples of the Five Elements Meridians about the three challenges of Foundation Establishment and did not avoid the group of loose cultivators.


    While they knew that long-term consumption of Spirit Rice helped with cultivation, it wasn¡¯t until they heard Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation that they realized its true importance.


    For this reason, what should have been the most valued purchase by loose cultivators¨Celixirs that could enhance one¡¯s cultivation level¨Cstrangely saw no price fluctuations during the massive buying spree.


    This left the branch store of Back to Sky Valley in Northern Abyss City quite puzzled.


    Had their elixirs lost their appeal?


    After learning the reason from some loose cultivator, the Foundation Establishment Elder in charge of Back to Sky Valley¡¯s affairs on this side could only curse under his breath.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was busy tallying up the gains from the expedition to the ruins.


    A Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.


    Three three-level Yin Void Bamboos.


    Four carcasses of Third-Order demonic beasts.


    Four Rank-3 inner pills.


    The Spirit Stone would be saved for now, as it was originally unchanged, so he planned to use it for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± or other critical moments.


    As for the three Yin Void Bamboos, Chen Mobai immediately called Zhuo Ming over and asked her to bring them back for cultivation with the Mother Qi of All Things.


    Regarding the carcasses of the Third-Order demonic beasts, aside from some beef kept for Zhuo Ming to nourish her body, the rest were handed over to Qi Rui to be taken to Giant Tree Ridge, where the Artifact Refining Department would handle them. The essence of the materials would be kept in the Meritorious Hall Treasury.


    When Luo Yixuan returned, Chen Mobai asked her what kind of magic artifact she needed.


    With these materials, a tailor-made set could be crafted for her.


    And the four most precious Monster Beast Inner Pills had attributes of two earth, one fire, and one wood-earth.


    If they could become Heterodox Golden Cores, the fire attribute one would certainly belong to Xie Yuntian; of the two earth attribute ones, Zheng Deming would get one, and Chen Mobai was planning to reserve the other one for Zhuo Ming, just in case.


    The last one with wood-earth attributes was a bit tricky.


    There was not a single Foundation Establishment practitioner in the Wood Vein who was a perfect match, but because half of it was wood attribute, if they were willing, cultivators of the Longevity Scripture could attempt the refining.


    In doing so, they would essentially be giving up on achieving Core Formation.


    Because a half-matching Heterodox Golden Core definitely could not assist a cultivator in successfully forming a core.


    Chen Mobai wondered if Chu Zuoshu would be willing.


    Chen was thinking of this former Sect Leader who had opened the market for the Five Elements Sect in the East Barbarians. Chu Zuoshu had treated him quite well during his term.


    It was a shame he was rather aged, but after refining the Heterodox Golden Core, the Longevity Scripture could potentially breakthrough, adding another sixty years to his lifespan.


    Even if Core Formation were impossible, this was still a token of his regard.


    Chen Mobai finally allocated four Monster Beast Inner Pills, but soon realized he was engaging in a futile effort.


    Liu Wenbo handed an urgently delivered letter to Chen Mobai.


    It was from Yan Shaoyin.


    The key to refining Heterodox Gold Cores was a Rank-4 Alchemist, and there was only one in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    Therefore, as soon as Chen Mobai returned to Northern Abyss City, he immediately invited Yan Shaoyin for help.


    But Yan Shaoyin didn¡¯t hesitate at all and directly refused by replying to the letter.


    Naturally, the reason was also quite sufficient, that he was in the process of refining Infant-Feeding Elixirs.


    Chen Mobai set down the letter and thought for a moment, then chose not to press further.


    After all, he felt Yan Shaoyin was already pushed to the limit. If he put on more pressure, it would probably either lead to a full-blown conflict or complete negligence.


    And without Yan Shaoyin¡¯s assistance, there wouldn¡¯t be a second Rank-4 Alchemist in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai also tried asking Star Heaven Dao Sect for help, but Lou Xuelong said that their Rank-4 Alchemists were basically all occupied with tasks to refine Elixirs, with no spare hands or time.


    The main branch of Star Heaven Dao Sect did have an Elder who was proficient in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining and was available, but they demanded a million Spirit Stones as a fee and didn¡¯t even guarantee a success rate.


    In other words, if the attempt failed, all losses would fall on Chen Mobai alone.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t a fool, so how could he agree to this term.


    However, this was the norm in Tianhe Realm.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only worry about the four Third-Order Monster Beast Inner Pills.


    Without refining them into Heterodox Golden Cores, he would be unable to cultivate a Golden Core fighting force.


    At this time, having learned of his troubles from Liu Wenbo, Shen Shanqing took the initiative to visit and offered to help Chen Mobai make connections.


    ¡°Zhang Zibo of Dongwu¡¯s Zhang family is also a Rank-4 Alchemist, and he often helps the Sun family in refining Heterodox Gold Cores with skilled techniques. Sect Master Chen could request his assistance.¡±


    Although Dongwu, much like the Eastern Wilderness, was the most remote and weakest among the six realms of the Eastern Region, they often battled with Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters, occasionally obtaining Third-Order Demon Cores.


    And precisely because of this, Dongwu had the most Golden Core combat power.


    The Sun family alone had as many as twelve. Among them, only five were true Golden Core Cultivators.


    Sky Meal Building had also opened quite a few branches there, and Zhang Zibo just happened to be their guest, so he could help make contact.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble Chef Shen.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was also filled with anticipation.


    After Shen Shanqing left, he immediately summoned the remaining Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Northern Abyss City to inquire about Zhang Zibo.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, I have heard of Zhang Zibo. However, he was able to become a Rank-4 Alchemist entirely due to the resources of the Sun family, so basically, he won¡¯t refine Elixirs for anyone outside the Sun family.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    Cultivating an alchemist is extremely resource-consuming.


    To become a Rank-4 Alchemist, according to the methods of Tianhe Realm, who knows how many precious Elixirs would need to be wasted.


    He wondered what method Shen Shanqing had that could persuade Zhang Zibo, a Rank-4 Alchemist, to help.


    However, knowing there was such a person, most of Chen Mobai¡¯s worries dissipated.


    He could always request Nu Jiang to make another trip, asking the Sun family for assistance.


    After all, both families had cooperated for over a hundred years in Yun Meng Ze to fend off Demonic Beasts and shared a deep bond. Last time, he sold them the Heavenly Blue Silverlight Grass, so asking Zhang Zibo to refine Elixirs this time shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?


    He would be gone to the Ruins for an entire month.


    During this time, there were two matters that Chen Mobai was most concerned about.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    One was that Yu Lian was still missing and hadn¡¯t been found.


    Secondly, the Rock Country army had already defeated the allied forces of Summer Country and Flower Country, and after signing an agreement with Back to Sky Valley, Jiang Zongheng swiftly took down Summer Country, while Flower Country, due to the matters with Star Heaven Dao Sect, had not yet allowed the army to enter.


    Negotiations with Star Heaven Dao Sect were not going smoothly.


    However, Jiang Zongheng had his own methods, and no one knew what he had promised to convince the Flower Country royal family to open the gates and surrender, willingly handing over the entire country.


    Thus, the entire Eastern Wilderness realm was now completely unified!

 Chapter 1318 - Chapter 1318 Chapter 726 The Nineteen Counties of the Eastern

    Chapter 1318: Chapter 726: The Nineteen Counties of the Eastern Wilderness Chapter 1318: Chapter 726: The Nineteen Counties of the Eastern Wilderness ¡°`


    Although Star Heaven Dao Sect is the overlord of East Yu, within the Eastern Region, it is a superpower second only to the Three Great Sacred Lands.


    Yet faced with the Flower Country royal family¡¯s surrender and opening of their city gates, they were utterly helpless.


    After all, the cultivation of ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice in the Eastern Wilderness was made possible by the manpower of Back to Sky Valley.


    Now, Yan Shaoyin was singularly focused on refining the Infant-Feeding Elixir, having even relinquished his own homeland of Summer Country. For him to confront the much more influential Five Elements Sect for the sake of the worldly Flower Country was sheer fantasy.


    Without Back to Sky Valley stepping in, Star Heaven Dao Sect simply couldn¡¯t control the entirety of Flower Country.


    Perhaps they could rely on their formidable strength to coerce Flower Country not to surrender, but that would mean becoming entangled in mundane affairs, and just the thought of the complicated governance, the survival of tens of thousands of people in each city, made Lou Xuelong shake his head.


    Cultivators, once they transcend the mundane, generally would not let the trifles of the mortal world erode their tranquility.


    They could manage temporarily, but if it stretched into tens or hundreds of years, it was likely that not a single cultivator from Star Heaven Dao Sect would be willing.


    So facing the trend of a unified Eastern Wilderness, Lou Xuelong thought long and hard but could only heave a sigh and abandon the idea of forcibly intervening.


    Still, even so, he wanted to extract as many benefits as possible from the Five Elements Sect.


    Jiang Zongheng was not qualified, so Lou Xuelong headed straight to Northern Abyss City.


    Although negotiations about the Heterodox Golden Core did not go through, this did not affect Chen Mobai¡¯s relationship with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, and besides, if the Eastern Wilderness was to develop in the future, it would certainly need to build good relations with these powerful forces that had connections across the Six Domains.


    After Lou Xuelong¡¯s arrival, Chen Mobai took him straight to the Sky Meal Building for a fine meal and drinks.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, there¡¯s something you may not know. Unifying the Eastern Wilderness is treading on a taboo of the Holy Lands,¡± Lou Xuelong said with a worried face after they clinked cups, uttering a statement that took Chen Mobai by surprise.


    ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Lou Xuelong sighed and did not play coy, revealing the reason directly.


    ¡°After the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, a mundane dynasty even larger than the Ancient Flower Kingdom will emerge. If it lasts for over a thousand years, it will give rise to an unprecedented, enormous Dragon Pulse spanning the whole Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°Such a vast Dragon Pulse can easily engender spirituality, the highest quality resource for cultivation. The Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture of the Eastern Emperor Court from days of old was cultivated by relying on the Dragon Vein Spirit. It is precisely because of this that successive Human Emperors were able to control dragons and govern the heavens, suppressing the Four Poles and the Eight Desolates.¡±


    ¡°But when the Human Emperor ruled over East Continent, the Holy Lands didn¡¯t have an easy time. Hence, following the collapse of the Eastern Emperor Court, even though there was no explicit agreement, the Holy Lands tacitly worked to prevent the emergence of a second Eastern Emperor Court.¡±


    ¡°Thus, once a Dragon Pulse with spiritual nature appears on the Eastern Wilderness, the Celestial Infernal Spinning Instrument of Dao Morale Sect will react, and its celestial enforcers will immediately come to slay the dragon.¡±


    After Lou Xuelong finished speaking, although Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was heavy, his expression relaxed.


    ¡°A thousand years from now, who knows if I¡¯ll even be around. There¡¯s no need to worry about something so distant.¡±


    Seeing he hadn¡¯t manage to scare Chen Mobai, Lou Xuelong secretly sighed and after another clink of cups, brought up the main purpose of his trip to Northern Abyss City.


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°Sect Master Chen, to be frank, my visit today is primarily to discuss a significant transaction with your sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Please, speak.¡±


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°If the Dragon Pulse grows and attracts the attention of the Holy Lands, my suggestion is for your sect to sell the Dragon Pulse to us at Star Heaven Dao Sect in advance. Our sect has a special secret technique that can dissipate the Qi of the Dragon Pulse to nurture Spirit Fields. The ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice from the Ancient Flower Kingdom came about in this way. By continuously diminishing the Dragon Pulse, Dao Morale Sect¡¯s Celestial Infernal Spinning Instrument will never react, thereby avoiding punishment from Dao Morale Sect¡¯s celestial enforcers for your sect.¡±


    These words sounded as if Lou Xuelong was truly considering Chen Mobai¡¯s interests, but Chen Mobai understood the hidden implications in his words.


    This was colonization.


    Previously Starry Sky Commerce Guild¡¯s targets for colonization were territories like Back to Sky Valley; now, it seemed they intended to switch to the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire Lou Xuelong¡¯s business acumen. The Eastern Wilderness had only just been unified, and already he had thought of how best to benefit their Commerce Association.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Raising the wine glass that Gu Yan had just refilled, Chen Mobai clinked glasses with Lou Xuelong once again and began inquiring what price the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would offer to reserve that Dragon Pulse in advance.


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°We can represent both parties and first sign a letter of intent. Rock Country itself already has a 300-year history; it should have another 300 years or so, by which time its latent Dragon Vein will have spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness as the dynasty¡¯s rule extends. Then, we can start cultivating Spirit Fields atop the Dragon Pulse. I will arrange for the Earth Masters and Spirit Plant Masters from the Commerce Association to come. Once the Spirit Fields are established, we will then pay the Spirit Stone costs for purchasing the Spirit Fields.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed some dissatisfaction. This was pure exploitation. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Can the funds be advanced?¡±


    Lou Xuelong hesitated, considering the strength of the Five Elements Sect, but decided to bleed a little: ¡°Sect Master Chen¡¯s stature must be respected. According to our Commerce Association¡¯s rates, for each mu of Rank-3 Spirit Fields, we will pay a price of ten thousand Spirit Stones. I can make an advanced payment for one thousand mu.¡±

 Chapter 1319 - Chapter 1319 Chapter 726 The 19 Districts of the Eastern

    Chapter 1319: Chapter 726: The 19 Districts of the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chapter 1319: Chapter 726: The 19 Districts of the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chen Mobai: ¡°Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones per acre?¡±


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°Sect Master Chen is joking, it¡¯s low-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai silently lamented how these commerce associations were really too greedy.


    To buy out using top-grade Spirit Stones, they really had the nerve to make such an offer.


    If he remembered correctly, when the Five Elements Sect purchased the seeds for the Dari Purple Rice, the price was only one top-grade Spirit Stone per acre.


    Chen Mobai used a tactful reason to refuse: ¡°After all, the Dragon Pulse belongs to the Rock Country dynasty, and it is not my place to decide for them.¡±


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°Sect Master Chen is being too modest. Who doesn¡¯t know it was your disciples and grandchildren who managed this unification of the Eastern Wilderness? Perhaps you think the price is too low, but that is something we can still discuss.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Three hundred years is too far in the future; who knows if the Rock Country dynasty will soon fall apart. Let¡¯s discuss this matter after the Dragon Pulse has emerged.¡±


    Lou Xuelong: ¡°Sect Master Chen is in the prime of his life, and could easily protect the Rock Country dynasty for at least four hundred years. By the time the Dragon Pulse emerges, it would be more than sufficient. If this deal goes through, the Supreme Elders will surely be very pleased, and then your Five Elements Sect will be an ally of our Star Heaven Dao Sect. I will help you out within our sect, and securing an invitation to the Beidou Conference should be no problem.¡±


    The Beidou Conference, organized by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, was a sales event aimed at attracting various major powers for trade, and guaranteed to offer a portion of Three Lights Divine Water.


    Therefore, for those Golden Core Cultivators who wish to reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± an invitation to the Beidou Conference was something they dreamt of.


    Lou Xuelong also knew that for Chen Mobai, who ruled over the Five Elements Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, only items related to Nascent Soul Formation could now move him.


    So, seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s lack of interest, he directly played his trump card.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Can you get an invitation to the recent Beidou Conference?¡±


    The Beidou Conference was held once every sixty years, and aside from preparations made by the Star Heaven Dao Sect itself, it mainly provided a trading platform for the top cultivators of the Eastern Region. Those who came and went were either those at Perfect Core Formation or Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    And for these people, only Spirit Material Medicine of Rank-4 or above could catch their eye.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to purchase Three Lights Divine Water; he just wanted to broaden his horizons. If he was lucky, he might even stumble upon some top-tier Spirit Materials that were squandered here.


    ¡°That might not be possible. The invitations for the Beidou Conference in three years¡¯ time have already been distributed. Now, only a few Supreme Elders have the authority to add more invitations. However, if Sect Master Chen truly wishes to participate, he could join our Starry Sky Commerce Guild, and I can bring him with me as part of our internal quota.¡±


    Lou Xuelong proposed this with a sincere face.


    The Starry Sky Commerce Guild often absorbed outstanding cultivators from among the six realms of the Eastern Region, such as Yan Shaoyin.


    Chen Mobai might not have excelled in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, but he was at least a Sword Cultivation Genius and the Sect Leader of the number one major sect in the Eastern Wilderness. Taking him in as a Guest Elder, they would be able to share in the resources produced by the entire Eastern Wilderness first-hand.


    ¡°By joining your commerce association, could I exchange for Three Lights Divine Water?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. To him, that was the only thing from the Star Heaven Dao Sect that had any allure. If it was exchangeable, he was actually willing to spend some effort.


    ¡°Every one hundred twenty years, our commerce association puts a portion of Three Lights Divine Water up for internal exchange. The Guest Elder with the highest contribution at that time can exchange for it.¡±


    Lou Xuelong replied, using the same tactic as Chen Mobai did with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, making the people below struggle fiercely.


    Next, Chen Mobai inquired about how to earn contributions within the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and the origins of the cultivators who had exchanged for Three Lights Divine Water in the past.


    After understanding these details, Chen Mobai politely declined: ¡°Sect duties already trouble my heart and mind; I simply have no extra energy.¡±


    Although the Three Lights Divine Water was tempting, there were still plenty of materials for Nascent Soul Formation that he could collect, and it was not necessary to waste tremendous energy over something the entire Eastern Region was competing for.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, won¡¯t you reconsider? If you become a Guest Elder of our commerce guild, I can have the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Flower Country managed by your Five Elements Sect. Furthermore, isn¡¯t your sect looking to refine Heterodox Golden Pills? I can speak to Elder Wang and ask him to give you a discount on the costs.¡±


    Lou Xuelong offered two conditions he believed to be very enticing.


    After all, Back to Sky Valley made a fortune relying on Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    But what Chen Mobai least lacked was Spirit Rice, and with Zhuo Ming around, the future supply of Rank-3 Spirit Rice would be unending. He shook his head and refused again.


    As for Heterodox Golden Pills, was Chen Mobai concerned with the costs?


    He disliked that the Star Heaven Dao Sect shifted all the risks onto him, who would be the contracting party.


    The conversation between the two ended on an unhappy note.


    However, Lou Xuelong still had some measure of diplomacy.


    At least upon departure, he managed to reach a consensus with Chen Mobai regarding the matters in Flower Country.


    Since the unification of the Eastern Wilderness could not be stopped, they might as well go along with it.


    After all, the change in mortal reign had no impact on their ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.


    Star Heaven Dao Sect did not hinder Flower Country¡¯s allegiance to Rock Country, and thus the grand unified dynasty was established!


    In the year 6531 of the First Era!


    Jiang Zongheng, the Grand Tutor of Rock Country, led the General Duan Shuyu to accept Flower Country¡¯s surrender and, after their triumphant return to court, King Zhao held a grand sealing and enthronement ceremony outside Northern Abyss City. Immortal Venerate Chen parted the clouds and personally descended from the mountaintop to the mortal world, bestowing the Gold Seal, Jade Crown, and King¡¯s Sword, signifying the divine granting of imperial authority.


    In accordance with the wishes of the Immortal Venerate, Rock Country was renamed the Great Zhao Dynasty. The original nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness were used to mark the boundaries, dividing them into nineteen prefectures, with their names unchanged.


    King Zhao became the lord of all under heaven and requested from Immortal Venerate Chen the secret to immortality.


    However, without a Spiritual Root, one cannot practice immortal cultivation.


    Immortal Venerate Chen then granted three heavenly pills, which, when consumed by mortals, could strengthen the body and ensure a peaceful death at the end of a long life.


    After the sealing and enthronement ceremony concluded, King Zhao returned to the capital, deeply melancholic.


    Following the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, Jiang Zongheng had intended to return to Longevity Academy to continue teaching.


    However, as the first grand unified dynasty of the Eastern Wilderness emerged and began to prosper, Chen Mobai asked him to stay in the mortal realm to perfect the newly established county system and usher in an era of peace and prosperity.


    Jiang Zongheng accepted the order and then requested that the Sect establish Town Guards within each of the nineteen prefectures.


    Although Divine Wood Sect¡¯s seven nations under Eastern Wilderness previously had E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and other seasoned Town Guards in place, the recently subdued territories were still a blank slate.


    Since the previous nation¡¯s Town Guards had performed well, Chen Mobai did not replace them.


    According to the rules, if one in the Sect wishes to hold a high position within the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, a record as a Town Guard is indispensable.


    Now that there were more counties, Chen Mobai simply allowed the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to recommend their chosen candidates for cultivation.


    Among these, the key position was undoubtedly the Town Guard of the former Ming Nation, now Ming County.


    For Hunyuan Immortal City was located there.


    Despite Five Elements Sect now returning to the Sect, his relationship with Zhou Ye remained extremely delicate, and with Chun Yusu, the spy from Sun Bathing Sea, present, whoever would be sent as the Town Guard there must be an adept at judging the situation and skilled in diplomacy.


    Chen Mobai scrutinized and chose Song Huangdae.


    This disciple had trained for a while in the Formation Division and had already received the Array Master inheritance from Five Elements Sect, and it was time to put it to practical use.


    Since Cloud Dream Ze was at war, it was temporarily impossible to go there and set up the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, so he decided to send Song Huangdae to Ming County for a decade of experience.


    Of course, before finalizing the list, Chen Mobai also asked for Song Huangdae¡¯s opinion, who expressed that he had no objections to the arrangements made by the Grand Ancestor.


    Having arranged for Song Huangdae, Chen Mobai naturally did not overlook Han Zhiling.


    He sent her to Summer Country, not only because the region was rife with volcanoes and abundant Fire Veins but also to have her keep an eye on Back to Sky Valley.

    If Yan Shaoyin were to start ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, even with deliberate concealment, it would be impossible to hide the calamity of the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Of course, Yan Shaoyin could also give up on Back to Sky Valley, which he had run for hundreds of years, to attempt ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± at Star Heaven Dao Sect in East Yu.


    But in that case, the chances of a successful ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± would decrease.


    Immortal Gate had conducted research showing that breaking through in a familiar place increased the success rate.


    This too was one of Chen Mobai¡¯s overt strategies.

 Chapter 1320 - Chapter 1320 Chapter 727 Mysterious Cave (Additional Chapter

    Chapter 1320: Chapter 727: Mysterious Cave (Additional Chapter for 29,600 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1320: Chapter 727: Mysterious Cave (Additional Chapter for 29,600 Monthly Votes) After the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, there were countless trivial matters.


    Chen Mobai directly handed them all over to E Yun to discuss with Jiang Zongheng, except for those truly requiring his decision as Sect Leader; the rest could be decided by the two of them.


    It was precisely at this time that Chen Mobai felt the desire to abdicate and let someone capable take over.


    However, considering that the Eastern Wilderness had just unified, if someone other than him were to be Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, the other Foundation Establishment members of the Wood Vein would not be able to hold their ground, so he decided it would be better to endure the hardship for a while longer.


    At least until this batch of cultivators had completed their Foundation Establishment and each had attempted Core Formation.


    After the establishment of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the main focus of the Five Elements Sect was to recuperate and to use the resources of the entire Eastern Wilderness to enhance the strength of their own sect.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai prepared to open the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    But before that, there was another issue to resolve.


    That was the disappearance of Yu Lian.


    Earlier, near the ruins of the Silver Sky Sect, Zheng Deming and others had found traces of demonic beasts and believed that Yu Lian might have encountered a Third-Order Demon Beast, so they didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.


    It was only after Fu Zongjue arrived that they dared to follow the demonic qi¡¯s trail.


    Eventually, at the border of Snow County and Frost County, within a snowy mountain range, they found a mysterious cave.


    Inside this cave, there were some ancient and mysterious restrictions.


    Fu Zongjue attempted to probe with his Puppet Body twice, but both attempts ended up trapped inside.


    Zheng Deming was certain that the traces of demonic qi had entered this cave.


    At that time, Chen Mobai was in the Ruins. Yu Lian¡¯s identity was not yet important enough for the Five Elements Sect to fully mobilize, so in the absence of the ability to enter and explore, they could only temporarily put the matter aside.


    Fortunately, Jiang Zongheng¡¯s grand undertaking of unifying the Eastern Wilderness did not encounter any resistance after Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley retreated, so they continued to guard the entrance to the cave.


    Even Meng Hong brought over other Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the sect later on.


    If there really was a Third-Order Demon Beast, they, as the rulers of the Eastern Wilderness, had an obligation to resolve the issue.


    Snow County bordered Jianjun, so the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division from Giant Tree Ridge were quickly called over to set up a Rank-3 Formation around the cave.


    Even if they didn¡¯t dare to venture inside, they could prevent any Third-Order Demon Beast that might exist inside the cave from coming out.


    After Chen Mobai learned about this, he too was extremely surprised.


    He never expected that there would be a Third-Order Demon Beast lurking within the Eastern Wilderness.


    Luckily, Yu Lian¡¯s Soul Lantern was still intact, which was a fortunate thing amidst unfortunate circumstances.


    When he returned to the Ruins and learned about this, he immediately asked Zhou Shengqing to take action, and the latter did not refuse.


    With his Nascent Soul Realm strength, plus the aid of Fu Zongjue¡¯s Puppet Body as a decoy, they cautiously overcame the remaining ancient restrictions within the cave.


    But when they reached the end of the cave, they were blocked by a snow-white wall.


    Even with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s strength, they were unable to open it.


    Chen Mobai decided to go in person upon learning of this.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    At the entrance to the cave, Meng Hong and the others, who were guarding the place, paid their respects to Chen Mobai, who descended upon a colorful cloud.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work; I¡¯ll take a look inside.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and slowly stepped into the cave. Soon his domain unfolded, quickly covering the path opened by Zhou Shengqing to the deepest part.


    Activated by the Underworld Array, Chen Mobai at the entrance of the cave turned into a silver light and teleported next to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Eh, Junior Brother, have you cultivated a Void Law Body?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was slightly surprised to see Chen Mobai suddenly appearing before him from the breach in the void.


    ¡°One day, while meditating, I had a realization and managed to cultivate it,¡± Chen Mobai said offhandedly while staring at the ice wall as white as crystal in front of him. The Underworld Array was not something that could be exposed in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Junior Brother is truly a peerless genius.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing praised. After the destruction of Mountain Shaker Peak, he and Fu Zongjue had seen the Number One Body Forging Great Method of the Eastern Wilderness, and although they felt that with enough Void Stones they could get a start, they did not deem it necessary.


    With that time, they would prefer to enhance their own cultivation realm.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai had quietly achieved the cultivation of the Void Law Body.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai tried using the Extreme Sun Slash and was amazed to find that he could only leave a shallow mark on the ice wall. Moreover, seemingly due to the counteracting nature of the elements, a cold white mist surged from the ice wall, completely freezing and dissolving the Extreme Sun Slash.


    It caused Chen Mobai a pang of distress, knowing that even though he had retained a seed of this sword technique, it would take at least one to two years of hard work to condense this Rank-4 move again.


    And the fact that it could so easily nullify his Extreme Sun Slash made Chen Mobai quickly realize a terrifying fact.


    ¡°Could this ice wall be the work of a Rank-5 technique?¡±


    After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing too nodded seriously.


    ¡°I had some doubts before, but after your attempt, Junior Brother, it¡¯s pretty much confirmed.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had also used the Heavenly Wood God Needle against this ice wall, but could only leave behind pinpoints that immediately disappeared.


    He originally thought it was because his offensive spells weren¡¯t powerful enough, but now that Extreme Sun Slash was also easily dissolved, his worst suspicion was confirmed.


    ¡°Is there any way to get around this ice wall?¡±


    Chen Mobai proposed an idea.


    ¡°The entire cave has been refined by a dense and chilly spiritual power, making it not only extremely hard but also capable of blocking Five Elements Escape Techniques. This ice wall, on the contrary, is the most likely place to be breached.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue both shook their heads, sharing their findings from exploring the cave.


    Chen Mobai swung the Primordial Yang Sword Evil at the icy stone wall, only to regret that it didn¡¯t even leave a scratch.


    ¡°Those who can use Rank-5 Divine Skills are either Huashen Zhenjuns or Nascent Soul Complete Great Cultivators, and given that this is happening above the Eastern Wilderness, it should be pretty easy to trace their origins, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of something and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°My Five Elements Sect has not been established for long in the Eastern Wilderness. Perhaps Snow-blowing Palace may have ancient records regarding this matter.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing shook his head, knowing that after nearly seven thousand years since True Lord Yuan opened the wilderness, it was impossible for their sect to know which Great Cultivators had been here.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go ask Kong Lingling.¡±


    Fu Zongjue spoke up, as he had recently refined a new puppet and was lacking a subject to test it on.


    ¡°Let me go instead. After asking, I can take care of her as well.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, however, suggested with a certain local¡¯s determination.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try again.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of another method and extended his right hand.


    As the Void twisted, his Domain subtly extended toward the ice wall, unseen by Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    The Domain, under the control of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, formed into a fingertip, gently touching the ice wall.


    However, the Great Cultivator who cast the restriction had clearly considered the possibility of someone breaching it with an Instantaneous Technique, and the Power of Void could not penetrate the ice wall.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed disappointment, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly thought of something else.


    He began seeping the Power of Void toward the surrounding cave walls, and to his surprise, something unexpected happened.


    Although these walls had been refined by condensing power and were incredibly hard, they did not have restrictions set up to block the Power of Void.


    Chen Mobai immediately controlled his Domain to extend along the ice wall in all directions, trying to bypass it.


    The extent of the ice wall was somewhat unexpected, being a full three thousand meters.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s Domain was even more expansive, and he created a portal high enough and wide enough for his whole body to teleport through, then continuously stretched the Domain.


    After bypassing the ice wall and continuously penetrating deeper, he finally discovered an inner cavity after several attempts.


    Once Chen Mobai had set up the starting and teleportation points of the Underworld Array, he entrusted Zhou Shengqing with a message and, in a flash of silver light, disappeared from his original spot.


    In an instant, he arrived in a massive underground cavern.


    The scene before his eyes caused his pupils to constrict.


    He saw, within the hollow shell of a giant locust, a stunningly beautiful female cultivator, with icy skin and jade-like bones, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.


    And beneath her, within a shattered white jade egg, was a gaunt, black-clad young man¨CChen Mobai recognized him at once as Yu Lian.


    ¡°True Person Kong, by harming our sect¡¯s disciple without permission, are you trying to provoke a war with the Five Elements Sect?¡±


    Jianjun disciples were rare in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai immediately recognized the enchanting female cultivator as Kong Lingling, who he had crossed swords with before.


    But after his furious words, Kong Lingling gave no reaction as if she was at a critical moment in her cultivation.


    Although Chen Mobai disliked taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state, under the circumstances, he was very decisive.


    An orange-red beam burst forth, ready to encircle Kong Lingling¡¯s neck.


    Suddenly, a bizarre and indescribable gust of wind came from behind Chen Mobai, with terrifying sharpness almost touching his scalp in the very moment it struck.


    With a flash of flames, Chen Mobai turned into a spark and dissipated.


    Though the Underworld Array was quite useful, the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape was still much quicker in the heat of battle.


    Chen Mobai flickered in front of Kong Lingling, and with a grasp in the Void, the Purple Electric Sword was already drawn.


    Clang!


    The always invincible Purple Electric Sword was grasped by a green-yellow palm.

    Amidst the flashing purple lightning, Chen Mobai finally saw clearly who he was up against.


    It was a creature, short in stature, with a blue-green body, bat-like wings, ruby-like eyes, and a mouth full of jagged teeth.


    Amidst roaring sounds, Chen Mobai unleashed the full power of the Purple Electric Sword.


    The creature guarding Kong Lingling¡¯s front had a blood streak split in its palm and was forced to retreat step by step by the slashing brilliance of the sword.


    Seizing this opportunity, Chen Mobai divided his mind into thoughts, and an orange-red beam drew a circle in the air, aiming to slash at Kong Lingling.

 Chapter 1321 - Chapter 1321 Chapter 728 Killing Kong Lingling

    Chapter 1321: Chapter 728: Killing Kong Lingling Chapter 1321: Chapter 728: Killing Kong Lingling The Hair-thin Slash descended!


    But a wave of chilling Spiritual Power suddenly erupted, forming an Ice Wall, blocking the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen taking advantage at a moment of weakness, hardly the action of an honorable man.¡±


    Kong Lingling, enveloped within the Ice Wall, slowly rose from within the massive locust skeleton, and as she spoke, the creature also retreated to her side.


    ¡°When dealing with a Magic Daoist Monk, there¡¯s no need for courtesy.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Kong Lingling¡¯s aura and couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, as she had already reached the Core Formation Late Stage. Moreover, her Spiritual Power was even more potent and concentrated than typical for that stage, seemingly originating from the same source as the Fifth-Order Restriction here.


    In that moment, Chen Mobai recollected the early days of the Eastern Wilderness, when Pioneer Cultivators encountered overwhelming swarms of locusts here, which were eventually dealt with by the holy land of Ice and Snow.


    Could it be that this was left by the Divinity Transformation of that Holy Land?


    After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Mobai then turned to the humanoid yet unhumanlike little creature by Kong Lingling, as well as the giant locust Mother transformed into a skeleton.


    His speculation was largely confirmed.


    ¡°I have merely nurtured a Spirit Beast which looks a bit terrifying; Sect Master Chen should not wrongfully label me as a practitioner of the Demon Path.¡±


    Naturally, Kong Lingling would not admit to this, as the Jiutian Dangmo Sect held dominion over the six realms of the Eastern Region. Although she knew her Cultivation was likely of the Demon Path, she would stubbornly deny it.


    ¡°Whether it is true or not, our sect¡¯s cultivator¡¯s life hangs in the balance here, and True Person Kong must provide me an explanation.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure flickered, appearing in front of Yu Lian, and after checking his condition and finding he still had signs of life, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Our Sect¡¯s cultivator was injured and unconscious outside; my Spirit Beast kindly saved him and brought him back. Is Sect Master Chen blaming me for this wrong?¡±


    Kong Lingling¡¯s words caused Chen Mobai to frown slightly; he had never encountered such shamelessness.


    ¡°If that is the case, then please, True Person Kong, open the gate so I can take this disciple out.¡±


    Chen Mobai could leave at any time, but since Yu Lian had not refined the Array into his body and couldn¡¯t use the Underworld Array for Teleportation, Kong Lingling pretended, so he played along.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen took advantage of me while I was meditating and tried to kill me; shouldn¡¯t you explain this?¡±


    Kong Lingling coldly retorted.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for people from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to come. I just visited the Ruins with Taoist Ye Qing, and we separated not long ago; they should still be in the East Barbarians. I will send a message. If the Jiutian Dangmo Sect confirms that True Person Kong has not practiced Demonic Cultivation, I will naturally apologize.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Kong Lingling¡¯s expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.


    Once people from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrived, she presumed she wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to explain.


    ¡°Kill him!¡±


    At this point, Kong Lingling finally dropped her disguise and coldly shouted.


    Upon her command, the small creature by her side let out a hoarse scream, transforming into a yellow-green shadow, charging towards Chen Mobai.


    But at that moment, Chen Mobai cast out a green leaf.


    It was a Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman that Zhou Shengqing had once given him.


    Once activated, it immediately formed a green protective dome. No matter from which direction the creature attacked, it was blocked by distinct green leaves, unable to break through.


    ¡°I hope this works!¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the unconscious Yu Lian, murmuring to himself.


    Then his body shimmered with silver light as he began breaking through the Void, vanishing from the spot.


    ¡°An Escape Sky Talisman? No, it¡¯s the True Void Law Body!¡±


    Kong Lingling witnessed this scene, her expression drastically changing as she lightly waved her hand, Coagulating Water into Sword, drawing the potent Ice Spiritual Qi from the cave, jointly attacking with the demonic creature.


    However, the defensive power of the Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman was strong, only a Rank-4 attack could break it.


    Although she was already at the Core Formation Late Stage, even benefited by the nourishment from the Demonic Sacred Embryo growing stronger by the moment, she was, after all, a mere Golden Core Cultivator without any Rank-4 techniques.


    On the other hand, the Demonic Sacred Embryo was inherently a Rank-4 entity, but being newly born, it required some time to absorb earth and fire Spiritual Energies to grow into a Rank-4 entity.


    Seeing she couldn¡¯t break through the Spirit Leaf Talisman¡¯s defense and Chen Mobai had deployed the True Void Law Body to escape, Kong Lingling became anxious.


    If the Taoists from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect really were called over, even the Ice Palace from the East Land would have to yield.


    Let alone her, a Core Formation cultivator from a remote part of the Eastern Wilderness.


    She must kill him to prevent any leaks.


    With this thought, she saw the Demonic Sacred Embryo still attacking the Spirit Leaf Talisman and immediately yelled to stop.

    Although the strength of the Talisman was limited and could be broken shortly with continuous attacks, the life and death of the mere Yu Lian wasn¡¯t as critical as stopping Chen Mobai.


    Besides, Yu Lian couldn¡¯t escape from here, perhaps after killing Chen Mobai and returning, the power of the Spirit Leaf Talisman would have already been exhausted.


    Thinking this, the anxious Kong Lingling immediately took the Demonic Sacred Embryo with her, deploying her Ice Heaven Cultivation, and passed through the Ice Wall at the entrance of the cave!


    It seemed she was in luck; as she stepped out of the Ice Wall, Chen Mobai also just stepped out from the Void.


    Seeing her, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression shifted, seemingly not expecting her to follow so quickly, and immediately turned to run out of the cave.

 Chapter 1322 - Chapter 1322 Chapter 728 Slay Kong Lingling_2

    Chapter 1322: Chapter 728: Slay Kong Lingling_2 Chapter 1322: Chapter 728: Slay Kong Lingling_2 ¡°Child, he is your mother¡¯s enemy, kill him quickly.¡±


    Kong Lingling saw Chen Mobai turn and run without giving it much thought and immediately commanded the Demonic Sacred Embryo to pursue him, while she herself executed the Ice Heaven Cultivation, intending to activate the array prohibition set up in the cave, hoping to slay Chen Mobai in the shortest time possible.


    However, just as she started to mobilize her spiritual power, she discovered that the prohibition she set up had been almost completely destroyed.


    What¡¯s going on?


    Had Chen Guixian discovered this place and directly led the Five Elements Sect¡¯s army here?


    And used the number of cultivators to flatten the prohibitions of this forbidden area?


    Because this cave had always been protected by the Rank-5 power of ice and snow, it had never faced danger, so Kong Lingling had been somewhat relaxed here.


    But at this moment, a sense of ominous premonition flashed through her heart.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai had already drawn out the Purple Electric Sword, unleashed the Roaring Sword Light to repel the Demonic Sacred Embryo, and his whole figure flashed with silver light again, seemingly about to teleport away with the True Void Law Body.


    Seeing this scene, Kong Lingling suppressed all the distractions in her mind. She knew that if this man in front of her escaped, the exposure of her practice of demonic cultivation would mean she and the entire Snow-blowing Palace would likely be exterminated by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect!


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, you must die here today!¡±


    With a stern shout, Kong Lingling took out her Lifespan Artifact, the Cold Moon Twin Hooks, and executed the Art of Ice Evasion, slashing at Chen Mobai.


    But another Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman was activated, firmly protecting Chen Mobai within it, blocking the Cold Moon Twin Hooks and the physical assault of the Demonic Sacred Embryo.


    Chen Mobai fought as he retreated, relying on the Spirit Leaf Talisman to fly towards the ground.


    Kong Lingling, filled with urgency, immediately followed.


    The two of them and the demon, like three spheres of light, burst forth with tremendous spiritual power fluctuations, constantly flashing and clashing. In the blink of an eye, they had already left the vicinity of the ice wall.


    Watching Chen Mobai¡¯s figure turn a corner, Kong Lingling first commanded the Demonic Sacred Embryo to follow, then pursued herself.


    But just as the Demonic Sacred Embryo rushed past the corner and disappeared, it let out an anxious roar, causing her whole body to tremble.


    This meant danger!


    Kong Lingling immediately stopped her escape skill, but as she turned around, a figure shrouded in purple light flames suddenly rushed out from another corner, wielding a wooden knife, and blocked her way.


    ¡°Fu Zongjue, you actually came too!¡±


    The Cold Moon Twin Hooks clashed with the Purple Sun Puppet in one exchange. With the powerful ice spiritual qi here and her profound cultivation level, Kong Lingling gained the upper hand slightly, pushing Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body back.


    ¡°If Kong True Person surrenders willingly, when Taoist Ye Qing of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrives, I might still be able to plead on your behalf, spare a few innocent people of the Snow-blowing Palace, and preserve your lineage.¡±


    Amidst flickering flames, Chen Mobai, wielding the Purple Electric Sword, had already flashed behind Kong Lingling, blocking her path back to the ice wall.


    ¡°Pompous words! Even if you two join forces, you will not be a match for my child!¡±


    At this time, Kong Lingling¡¯s face began to contort fiercely. She was ready to disregard everything and let the Demonic Sacred Embryo burn its essence blood to unleash Rank-4 power.


    Although this meant that the growth of the sacred embryo to Rank-4 would be greatly slowed down, in the current situation, she could not care about that anymore.


    ¡°Just fine, both of you are here. Once I slaughter you both, the Five Elements Sect will crumble again, and when I advance to the Nascent Soul, the entire Eastern Wilderness will be mine.¡±


    As Kong Lingling spoke, a chilling and eerie blue light began to shine in her eyes, starting to remotely stimulate the original power of the Demonic Sacred Embryo.


    Immediately, a terrifying demonic aura erupted from the corner of the cave tunnel, drawing a surprised shout.


    ¡°Since Kong True Person refuses to see reason, then it¡¯s no wonder we resort to the many against the few. Dying at the hands of we three brothers of the Wood Vein, you can consider yourself fortunate.¡±


    Chen Mobai currently shared the same thought as Kong Lingling had just now, to deal with her quickly to prevent any further complications.


    ¡°Three people?¡±


    Kong Lingling¡¯s face first showed confusion, then suddenly changed.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing is here too? Impossible, didn¡¯t he die from a failed Nascent Soul Formation?¡±


    For over twenty years, there had been no news of Zhou Shengqing. Although, at Giant Tree Ridge, the power he wielded with the reverse Longevity Technique was indeed the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, after such a long time without a trace, practically everyone thought he was dead.


    Even within the Divine Wood Sect, King Zhou Wangshen believed that his venerable ancestor had employed a forbidden technique, using ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± to lure out all Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness who bore hostility towards the Sect, burning his last essence, qi, and spirit to clear the Sect¡¯s obstacles.


    ¡°I¡¯m still alive, much to True Person Kong¡¯s disappointment.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice arose from around the corner of the passageway as his figure walked out slowly.


    Kong Lingling¡¯s pupils couldn¡¯t help but constrict upon seeing him.


    But then, an even more despairing scene unfolded before her.


    She saw Zhou Shengqing¡¯s left palm holding a deep green cage fashioned from electric light. Her trump card, the Demonic Sacred Embryo, was trapped within this cage, unable to break free.


    Kong Lingling could sense that the Demonic Sacred Embryo had, following her instructions, ignited its foundational essence blood and unleashed a fourth-order demonic aura.


    With every roaring collision, the deep green electric light that made up the cage would twist and dim.


    Yet under the never-ending infusion of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s incredibly profound Longevity True Qi, the cage would restore itself in an instant, its light even brighter than before.


    ¡°This demon is somewhat powerful indeed; had it not been trapped in advance, it might not have been so easy to capture given the strength it has unleashed.¡±


    Although Zhou Shengqing said this, his demeanor was as casual as an old man strolling with a bird, entirely at ease.


    ¡°You¡¯ve reached Nascent Soul! This is impossible!¡±


    Kong Lingling¡¯s eyes went wide in disbelief at this realization.


    But the ease with which Zhou Shengqing suppressed the Demonic Sacred Embryo, even as it burned its source, indicated to her that this was the only answer.


    Without being a Nascent Soul Cultivator, this feat simply wouldn¡¯t be possible.


    ¡°True Person Kong, do you have any last words?¡±


    Chen Mobai held the Purple Electric Sword towards Kong Lingling, ready to dispatch her.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to hand me over to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect?¡±


    After Zhou Shengqing entered the fray with Nascent Soul Realm strength, Kong Lingling knew she had no chance of turning the tables and couldn¡¯t help but show a bitter smile.


    ¡°If the Jiutian Dangmo Sect were to arrive, your life and death would be in their hands. I think it would be better to eliminate the demon here and now, to avenge our Sect¡¯s disciples.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s relations with Ye Qing and the others were decent, since he had the chance to slay Kong Lingling within this cave, he couldn¡¯t let this opportunity slip by.


    After all, the Snow-blowing Palace was a force that could ascend to the East Land; to prevent any complications, it might be better to execute her on the spot.


    While they spoke, Zhou Shengqing and the Purple Sun Puppet of Fu Zongjue closed in from both sides.


    ¡°Could you perhaps give me a chance to live? I can submit to the Five Elements Sect, and even hand over the Demonic Sacred Embryo to you. It is still young; with careful cultivation and feeding of sufficient spiritual objects, it can easily grow into a fourth-order being, with a long lifespan capable of protecting a Sect for a thousand years.¡±


    At this critical moment, Kong Lingling still wanted to cling to life, her slightly frail voice addressing the three.


    On hearing this, the trio was indeed surprised.


    They all looked toward the beast encased within the cage in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s palm.


    ¡°True Person Kong must die here today, but if you divulge something of interest to us, my previous promise still stands: I won¡¯t exterminate the entire Snow-blowing Palace lineage.¡±


    After seeking the opinions of Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, all agreed that if they could control a fourth-order demon beast, it would be a significant boon for their Sect.


    ¡°Truly, you can¡¯t spare me!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For Kong Lingling, even the combined value of everyone in the Snow-blowing Palace wasn¡¯t as important as her own life.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai knew there was no need to continue the negotiation.


    Fierce light flickered in Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes as he made his move with the Heavenly Wood God Needle.


    Kong Lingling¡¯s ice wall, conjured with all her might, shattered at the touch of the azure Light Needle. Instantly, her Dantian Qi Sea was breached, her cultivation obliterated, and her once smooth and jade-like skin instantly crinkled, turning her into a decrepit old crone.


    Chen Mobai swung his sword, severing her head.

 Chapter 1323 - Chapter 1323 Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade

    Chapter 1323: Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade Chapter 1323: Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade After Kong Lingling¡¯s head had fallen, the Demonic Sacred Embryo that had been struggling ceased its movements.


    However, Zhou Shengqing did not relax his vigilance¨Cthe Wood Cage Prison still bound it tightly, allowing no chance for escape.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go inside and check on Yu Lian¡¯s condition; as for Kong Lingling¡¯s storage bag, I¡¯ll trouble Shixiong to examine it.¡±


    Chen Mobai, concerned for what was behind the ice wall, obtained some elixirs from Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue that a Foundation Establishment practitioner could use to recover Elemental Energy, and promptly cast the Underworld Array.


    The Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman continued to work.


    It was like a green light shield wrapping the unconscious Yu Lian.


    Unless someone actively dispelled it, Chen Mobai estimated it would take about half a month to dissipate.


    Such was the power of a Nascent Soul.


    A hastily conjured Defensive Magic Talisman, which would require full effort and even sustained attacks for a Golden Core Cultivator to potentially break through, was to them a mere flick of the wrist.


    Chen Mobai removed the Spirit Leaf Talisman, took Yu Lian¡¯s pulse, and found his Spiritual Power was nearly drained, his vitality severely depleted, as if he had been regularly bled.


    Fortunately, a faint, enduring warmth in his heart kept his life force stable.


    Chen Mobai recalled Yu Lian once mentioned he took a Fire Lotus as a child; unexpectedly, its medicinal power lingered to this day.


    Selecting an elixir to restore Elemental Energy, Chen Mobai placed it in Yu Lian¡¯s mouth, then drew a Rank-2 Resurrection Talisman on the spot and slapped it onto his body.


    Lastly, he infused a strand of his Spiritual Power into Yu Lian, using the Flame Lighting Technique to aid Yu Lian in refining and absorbing the elixir¡¯s potency.


    Under his careful attention, Yu Lian finally awoke.


    ¡°Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Yu Lian opened his eyes and saw Chen Mobai in front of him; he struggled to rise and pay his respects but was immediately stopped by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Rest well. Kong Lingling has been slain by us¨Cthe place is now safe.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yu Lian¡¯s tense body immediately relaxed.


    Perhaps another quarter of an hour passed, and the elixir¡¯s effects were fully absorbed, bringing a slight flush of color to his pale and thin cheeks. Chen Mobai then fed him a Fasting Pill.


    Though tasteless, the pill could provide all the nutrients necessary for bodily functions.


    ¡°Sect Leader, Kong Lingling raised a man-eating demonic beast.¡±


    Having regained some vigor, Yu Lian rose and reported to Chen Mobai, who nodded, indicating he already knew.


    ¡°These corpses must be what Kong Lingling fed to the demonic beast¨Ctruly an act of utter depravity.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expression grew colder as he gazed upon the plethora of bones strewn about the cave.


    Even if one did not practice Demonic Cultivation Techniques, such conduct was indistinguishable from the Demon Path.


    ¡°Sect Leader, there is something else. Among these skeletons is one of the Sect¡¯s long missing Shixiong, Fu.¡±


    Yu Lian disclosed another piece of news that shocked Chen Mobai. Following Yu Lian¡¯s indication, he approached one of the skeletons.


    It was a dry skeleton, clothed in the dark silver Dao robes of a past elder from the Penalty Evil Hall of the Divine Wood Sect¨Cgarb that only a Foundation Establishment Elder had the right to wear. Hanging on the skeleton¡¯s waist was a jade token engraved with the character ¡°Fu.¡±


    It was given to Fu Xingzhou when he had just begun Qi Cultivation, a token of Fu Zongjue¡¯s happiness.


    Fu Zongjue had circulated the matter of the missing Fu Xingzhou throughout the Sect to assist in the search.


    After being captured here, Yu Lian remained bound, able to do nothing but be periodically bled.


    Kong Lingling did not expect him to escape, knowing his connection to Fu Xingzhou, deliberately mentioned the matter after a cultivation session.


    Perhaps she had suppressed it for too long.


    After all, cultivating Demonic Cultivation Techniques, she did not dare reveal everything even to her Direct Disciples. She only told them that she had nurtured a Saint Embryo capable of Nascent Soul Formation; whenever the Heavenly Demon Avatar was around, it was veiled in a mist of ice.


    So, when confronted with Yu Lian who was fated to be drained of Spiritual Power and Essence Blood to death, she couldn¡¯t help but reveal many deep-seated secrets.


    She even disclosed to Yu Lian that the Demonic Sacred Embryo was conceived from the combination of Fu Xingzhou¡¯s Yuan Yang and her Original Yin.


    Another secret that caused Yu Lian much pain was that the swift downfall of the Silver Sky Sect after they moved to Snow Country was due to her machinations.


    Apart from coveting the legacy of Eternal Sect, she found the Silver Sky Sect, located not far from this cave, an eyesore.


    The more Yu Lian knew, the more he despaired.


    For that meant his death was ever nearer¨Che had never imagined he would be rescued by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alas, I should go out and inform Fu Shixiong.¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, was also stunned. Remembering the monster¡¯s form, he sighed before speaking.


    The news that Fu Zongjue had come to his rescue moved Yu Lian profoundly, his sense of belonging to the Sect reaching its peak at this moment.

    Outside the ice wall!


    When Fu Zongjue heard of Fu Xingzhou¡¯s death, his face etched with grief, he turned to smash Kong Lingling¡¯s corpse into bits, venting his inner fury.


    Chen Mobai promptly shared another piece of news with him.


    When Fu Zongjue heard that the Demonic Sacred Embryo was the child of Fu Xingzhou and Kong Lingling, he stood there, stunned.


    Even Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes widened, disbelieving.

 Chapter 1324 - Chapter 1324 Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2

    Chapter 1324: Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2 Chapter 1324: Chapter 729 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2 ¡°In that case, should we not notify the Jiutian Dangmo Sect?¡±


    Originally, according to their plan, after killing Kong Lingling, they would try to control the demonic beast, and if they couldn¡¯t, they would report the matter to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Because the evidence was conclusive, the Snow-blowing Palace definitely could not dissociate itself from the matter.


    Once the Snow-blowing Palace was eradicated, their Fourth Grade Spirit Vein and medium-sized spirit stone mine would have to be taken over by the Five Elements Sect.


    But once the Jiutian Dangmo Sect got involved, the Demonic Sacred Embryo would certainly not survive.


    ¡°Senior brother, junior brother, why not let me take care of it for a few years first? If it¡¯s truly wild and untamable, then we can report the matter.¡±


    Fu Zongjue hesitated for a moment, looking at the Demonic Sacred Embryo inside the Yimu Prison, watching Kong Lingling¡¯s corpse in a daze, and, thinking about how it was related to the Fu family¡¯s bloodline, he gritted his teeth and spoke.


    ¡°Since junior brother has requested it, there are naturally no problems.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing nodded, and Chen Mobai had no objections.


    After all, if they could really tame it, a fourth-rank demonic beast could allow the Five Elements Sect to dominate the Eastern Wilderness for hundreds of years.


    Considering Fu Zongjue¡¯s capabilities, Zhou Shengqing deployed a talisman that sealed both the demonic qi and spiritual power of the Demonic Sacred Embryo. The latter did not resist and continued to gaze dazedly at Kong Lingling¡¯s corpse, allowing him to do as he wished.


    After completing all these tasks, Zhou Shengqing then emptied out the contents of Kong Lingling¡¯s storage bag.


    A large pile of crystalline, translucent spirit stones.


    Many books and jade slips.


    About a dozen jade boxes sealed with spirit talismans.


    Two large bags of Rank-3 Spirit Rice, which Zhou Shengqing recognized as both Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice and Fire Crystal Rice from the Sun Bathing Sea¨CKong Lingling¡¯s usual meals.


    And various other miscellaneous items of women¡¯s clothes and skirts, which occupied most of the storage bag¡¯s space.


    The spirit stones were mostly superior quality ones; Zhou Shengqing had scanned them with his divine sense and had already counted the quantity.


    Over 1,300 pieces, of which Zhou Shengqing, finding little use for the spirit stones himself, only took a small portion, leaving a thousand to be divided equally between Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue.


    The spirit rice was also divided equally; although Chen Mobai did not need it, he could still bestow it upon his disciples, which was a polite gesture.


    After examining the books and jade slips, the three discovered that they were the complete inheritance of the Snow-blowing Palace for Rank-3 and above.


    There were also some spells and secret techniques that Kong Lingling had collected herself, which were useful to her.


    Among these, what shocked them the most was a sinister cultivation technique called ¡°The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation¡±!


    After finishing reading, they finally understood where this Demonic Sacred Embryo came from.


    ¡°It seems somewhat similar to the path of the Beast Commanding Sect.¡±


    After finishing reading, Zhou Shengqing said with some uncertainty.


    The Beast Commanding Sect was a major sect in the East Land, requiring a cultivator to grow and cultivate together with a companion beast, reportedly tracing its inheritance back to the Holy Land of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect in Central State.


    But Chen Mobai thought of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering.


    It was said that both the Beast Commanding Sect and the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering were inheritances of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, only that the latter had deviated and, because it bred the monster known as the Nine-Headed Great Saint, causing havoc among living beings, it was forever categorized under the Demon Path, unable to redeem itself.


    Not long ago, Chen Mobai had just entered the Ruins with Ye Qing to help the latter slay a devil cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering.


    Perhaps this ¡°The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation¡± that Kong Lingling practiced was taught by that devil cultivator?


    Zhou Shengqing might have thought of this as well, but East Continent still held the Jiutian Dangmo Sect as a Holy Land, and any words related to the Demon Path were better left unspoken, so he mentioned the Beast Commanding Sect instead.


    Mainly, there was no way to verify this now since that devil cultivator had already been slain by Ye Qing.


    ¡°We three know about this matter, and that should suffice.¡±


    At this time, Zhou Shengqing spoke again, then ground the ¡°The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation¡± into dust.


    Fu Zongjue was not interested in the inheritance of the Snow-blowing Palace, but Chen Mobai had copied a portion for himself.


    Finally, there were the thirteen sealed jade boxes.


    With a wave of his sleeve, Zhou Shengqing directly peeled off all the spirit talismans attached, which were set by Kong Lingling and would self-destruct if a Golden Core cultivator handled them.


    But for Zhou Shengqing, a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master and a Nascent Soul Cultivator, these were mere minor challenges.


    Chen Mobai was actually capable of achieving the same using the methods of the Immortal Gate; however, Zhou Shengqing had already handled it, so he directly started examining the treasures collected and cherished by Kong Lingling.


    ¡°This is Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade, rank-4 Water Mist Ice Crystal, and also Ice Marrow Pure Jade, and there¡¯s even an Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone¡­¡±


    Even for someone of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s stature, the sight of the items within the jade box made his eyes widen in astonishment.


    Among them, there were three pieces of rank-4 Water Mist Ice Crystal and two pieces of Ice Marrow Pure Jade. These were spiritual objects used in the Core Formation at the Snow-blowing Palace and were also extremely beneficial for cultivators practicing Water Vein cultivation techniques.


    Besides these, there were many rank-3 and rank-4 medicinal herbs, two of which were even as precious as the Void-filling Ganoderma from their Wood Vein.


    This must have been the accumulation of centuries at the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Yet, the item Zhou Shengqing could not bear to part with was that ¡°Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone.¡±


    Like the Mother Earth Stone at Mountain Shaker Peak, it was a mutated supreme-grade spirit stone. If he had had it earlier, he could have achieved Perfect Core Formation thirty years earlier and attempted ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    However, in Chen Mobai¡¯s view, the greatest use of the Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone was that it could disperse and form a Fourth-order Water Vein.


    Placed in Rainbow Country, it could perfectly create a vast oasis lake at the end of Dark Water.


    In the future, whether for desert reclamation, sustenance for Luo Yixuan, or cultivation for Yin Qingmei, it presented multiple benefits.


    ¡°There¡¯s also a piece of Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade here.¡±


    At that moment, Fu Zongjue, who was leading the Demonic Sacred Embryo with a wooden stick, gathered Kong Lingling¡¯s corpse to cremate it, but noticed a red ribbon tied around her neck and discovered it was Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade.


    The old ancestors of the Eastern Wilderness were indeed wealthy!


    At this time, this was the only thought in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    ¡°I have no use for these. You two junior brothers can divide them.¡±


    Although Zhou Shengqing was captivated by the Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone, he eventually let out a sigh.


    Neither Chen Mobai nor Fu Zongjue hesitated.


    ¡°I want to use this Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone to create a Fourth-order Water Vein in Rainbow Country.¡±


    Chen Mobai mentioned his idea, and neither Zhou Shengqing nor Fu Zongjue objected, directly yielding the Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone to him.


    However, they also reached an agreement that if Fu Zongjue¡¯s Longevity Scripture advanced to Core Formation Late Stage in the future, he would take the Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone for cultivation.


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed.


    Having taken the Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone, Fu Zongjue picked an extra piece of Water Mist Ice Crystal.


    Both the Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade and the Ice Marrow Pure Jade were divided, each receiving one piece.


    After the distribution, Chen Mobai remembered Yu Lian, who was trapped behind the ice wall.


    According to their conjecture, he might need to cultivate the Ice Heaven Cultivation to the Golden Core Realm to freely enter and exit.


    ¡°We can only let him stay inside and cultivate well for now. Junior brother, please deliver some necessities and cultivation resources to him first. Later on, you might need to make trips every once in a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded; this was a minor issue for him as the cold climate here would not spoil the food if he sent more.


    By preparing more Fasting Pills, it would even be possible to visit only every few years.


    In fact, Chen Mobai had another method, which was to use the Turtle Treasure to take Yu Lian to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    However, considering the importance of the Turtle Treasure, he decided against it.


    ¡°It is hard on you, Sect Leader. I will definitely cultivate diligently here.¡±


    Yu Lian, who was very frail and skinny, was quite philosophical about his fate. Surviving was already a stroke of luck.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I will keep an eye on the Snow-blowing Palace. If anyone achieves Core Formation, I will immediately have her bring you out. Also, here is the technique for cultivating the Void Law Body. I will send over some Void Stones later; if you manage to master this, you might even be able to break out on your own.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out a blank jade slip, engraved it with the True Void cultivation technique, and alongside a storage bag filled with Spirit Rice, Fasting Pills, and other resources, handed them to Yu Lian.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    The frail and weak Yu Lian rose to pay his respects to Chen Mobai but was stopped.


    ¡°You are weak in body, focus on recuperating. Given the abundance of time here, I will bring some books the next time I visit. Is there anything in particular you would like?¡±

 Chapter 1325 - Chapter 1325 Chapter 730 Dividing the Dan (7k)

    Chapter 1325: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k) Chapter 1325: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k) Yu Lian hesitated after hearing this but still voiced the dream he had harbored since childhood.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I want to become a swordsmith.¡±


    A swordsmith?


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised.


    This was one type of Artifact Refiner, but because Flying Swords are most needed by Cultivators among all artifacts, in the Tianhe Realm, the profession of a swordsmith was specifically distinguished.


    ¡°Alright, next time I will bring over all the materials related to Artifact Refining from the sect, and you can choose the content related to swordsmithing to study.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he thought that if Yu Lian were to stay here for a long time, he needed to ensure that his Cultivation Technique was maintained.


    So, he asked about Yu Lian¡¯s Cultivation progress.


    Yu Lian, with his exceptional Metal Spirit Root, was cultivating the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.


    This technique was previously considered one of the signature techniques of the Wangu Sect, capable of being cultivated up to the Core Formation Late Stage.


    Chen Mobai had once helped him deduce the realm of Foundation Establishment and was familiar with it, so it did not take long for him to guide Yu Lian through the pathway to Foundation Establishment Completion using a Formless Puppet.


    Although Yu Lian¡¯s body was very weak, he still mustered his energy and eagerly noted down every word Chen Mobai spoke.


    This was an opportunity that all the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators dreamed of.


    After listening, Yu Lian¡¯s understanding of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture jumped up a level, and at least he had no doubts about how to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase.


    ¡°This is the original scripture of the All Laws Persona, one of the Twenty-Four Great Dao Techniques of the Longevity Sect, named ¡®External Incarnation.¡¯ I will also pass this on to you. If you can cultivate it successfully, I will present you with Creation upon your emergence.¡±


    Afraid that Yu Lian would be bored, Chen Mobai assigned him another task.


    After all, it was Yu Lian who had gifted him the All Laws Persona, so this was somewhat of a repayment of karma.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for bestowing the technique upon me!¡±


    After inscribing the External Incarnation on the Jade Slip, Chen Mobai also left Yu Lian with fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones, which were enough for him to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Completion.


    ¡°Sect Leader, there¡¯s one more thing. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true, but Kong Lingling said that after her Core Formation, she went to the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace and left a Soul Lantern there.¡±


    Upon hearing Yu Lian¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became slightly grave.


    The reason why the Ancestor Hunyuan had maintained the Snow-blowing Palace was precisely because they had the support of the Ice Palace in the background.


    This power was established from the remnants of a Holy Land. Although there was now only a single Nascent Soul overseeing it, no one knew whether there was still some legacy from the Holy Land remaining.


    It was common knowledge in the Eastern Wilderness that after Core Formation, each generation of Snow-blowing Palace Cultivators would make a trip to the East Land.


    If everything Kong Lingling had confided to Yu Lian were true, then her death should already be known to the Ice Palace by now.


    Within the entire Eastern Wilderness, only their Five Elements Sect could have killed Kong Lingling silently and without a trace.


    Unable to conceal the matter, Chen Mobai quickly thought of the best solution.


    ¡°It seems we inevitably need to report this after all.¡±


    Although in the Eastern Wilderness they were not overly fearful of the Ice Palace, Chen Mobai, upon holding the moral high ground, was not inclined to engage in a major conflict with the Ice Palace.


    After making Yu Lian recall everything Kong Lingling had said in full detail, Chen Mobai left the place.


    Outside the ice wall, upon hearing about Kong Lingling¡¯s Soul Lantern in the Ice Palace, both Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue also showed a subtle change in their expressions.


    After the great calamity, the Holy Land of ice and snow had fractured, splitting into several Nascent Soul Major Factions.


    The Ice Heaven Palace was one of them, and due to their ancestral mentor¡¯s connection to the Snow-blowing Palace, they found the news to be credible.


    ¡°Junior Brother, what do you think?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing asked directly for Chen Mobai¡¯s opinion.


    If it came to a fight, with their home advantage, they certainly would not fear the Ice Palace.


    But if they could avoid a confrontation, it would be best.


    After all, the Ice Palace had some influence in the East Land; if they called upon a few Nascent Soul friends, they might only be able to defend their Main Camp at Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°What about reporting to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai voiced his idea.


    This?


    Zhou Shengqing hesitated, glancing at Fu Zongjue beside him. The latter, frowning and looking at the Demonic Sacred Embryo in his care, finally gritted his teeth and nodded.


    ¡°Once the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrives, we will all need to swear on our Dao Heart, so let¡¯s align our statements first.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue agreed, and nodded as he began to outline his plan.


    They did not need to lie, just tell the truth: they had been searching for a missing disciple and found this mysterious Cave, where they discovered Kong Lingling engaging in demonic practices.


    Since they could not confirm whether the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation was a Demonic Cultivation Technique, they needed a consistent story: that Kong Lingling brutally murdered their sect¡¯s Disciple Fu Xingzhou and even imprisoned Yu Lian, extracting his Essence Blood and Spiritual Power daily.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With this ample reason, their suspicion of Kong Lingling practicing a Demonic Cultivation Technique, coupled with concern for their disciples¡¯ safety, justified their action in executing her.


    By the time the Jiutian Dangmo Sect and Ice Palace representatives arrived, all they needed to do was bring them here to see the scattered corpses beyond the ice wall and the imprisoned Yu Lian as the most convincing evidence.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just follow what Junior Brother has suggested.¡±


    After hearing the plan, Zhou Shengqing nodded in agreement. With this arrangement, it was estimated that they would have to hand over the Demonic Sacred Embryo.


    Only, there was one issue.

 Chapter 1326 - Chapter 1326 Chapter 730 Dividing the Dan (7k)_2

    Chapter 1326: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_2 Chapter 1326: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_2 ¡°How to contact the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect was the issue¨Cif someone were sent from the Eastern Wilderness to the East Land, it would take too long. And even after reporting, without solid evidence, the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect might not be willing to send someone over.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, luring opposing sect members into practicing demonic cultivation and then reporting them to the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect was a common occurrence.


    Therefore, the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect had become extremely cautious regarding dispatching their members.


    ¡°When Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen left, they each gave me a Message Talisman. Our cooperation in the ruins was quite pleasant, so they ought to give me this face; even if they are busy, they should send someone to make the trip. And if luck would have it that they¡¯re still in the East Barbarians, perhaps they might even come in person.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zhou Shengqing nod in relief.


    Having someone from the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect involved, the efficiency of handling matters would be entirely different.


    The three of them discussed their testimonies carefully, for when the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect arrived, it was mandatory to issue a Daoist Heart Oath to ensure truthfulness and accuracy.


    They needed to ensure that there were no traces of contamination with the Demon Path.


    For them, this wasn¡¯t considered difficult.


    After all, The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation was not on the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect¡¯s list of recognized demonic cultivation techniques, but one couldn¡¯t be sure if the name of the technique had been changed, so careful consideration was needed in case they were questioned about it.


    However, the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect also had its own bottom line when it came to demonic cultivation techniques.


    That was to make a Daoist Heart Oath and refrain from practicing them.


    Because thousands of years ago, within the East Land, a small sect had reported that disciples of a Nascent Soul Major Faction were practicing demonic cultivation.


    After verification, the truth of the matter was confirmed.


    However, the real cause that came to light afterward dumbfounded the itinerant enforcers of the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect.


    The demonic cultivation technique in question was a Dual Cultivation method from the Summon Cloud Demon Sect, and a Female Cultivator of the small sect, who had been deceived and abandoned by a True Disciple of the Nascent Soul Major Faction, found this technique in a fit of rage and seduced the male disciples of the Major Faction.


    The Female Cultivator was beautiful and alluring, with a skin like creamy jade, and having practiced the Dual Cultivation technique, she naturally caused those weak-willed Major Faction male disciples to loosen their belts.


    During this process, the Female Cultivator claimed that the men¡¯s skills were lacking and, to prolong their pleasure, she had them practice the Summon Cloud Demon Sect¡¯s Dual Cultivation technique.


    Until she had enticed all the male disciples of the Nascent Soul Major Faction, she then reported them to the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect.


    After the investigation, according to the rules of the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect, they were destined to be killed.


    But these male disciples were very clearly framed.


    It would be too heartless to kill them all.


    Yet, the rules set by the ancestors couldn¡¯t be broken.


    So, the then Taoist Child of the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect could only make the tough decision, executing both the reporting Female Cultivator and those weak-willed male disciples who had been seduced into practicing the Dual Cultivation demonic technique.


    However, after returning, several high-ranking members of the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect immediately petitioned Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) and discussed through the night to add a new annotation to this rule, to avoid having someone else in the East Continent exploit this rule to use the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect as a blade in the future.


    From now on, if someone is deceived into practicing a demonic cultivation technique, by forsaking the technique and issuing a Daoist Heart Oath to never practice it again or teach it to others, they can avoid death.


    If one merely knows of a demonic cultivation technique but hasn¡¯t practiced it, then it¡¯s even simpler¨Cjust take the aforementioned steps.


    Chen Mobai and the others had seen The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation but never practiced it.


    Even if asked by the Nine Heavens Daomo Sect, they would just need to swear not to practice or teach it.


    After arranging all the details concerning the Demon Path, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue left the cave.


    Outside, some people from the Five Elements Sect under Chen Mobai¡¯s lead returned to Northern Abyss City. Some followed Fu Zongjue back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After everyone had left, Zhou Shengqing came out and set up a Formation that enveloped the area.


    Back in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai took out the Message Talisman Ye Qing had given him, wrote down the matter concerning Kong Lingling, and then activated it.


    After writing, Chen Mobai looked at the other Message Talisman from Yuan Zhen and decided not to waste it after some thought.


    Watching as the Message Talisman turned into a stream of clear Sword Light shooting into the sky, Chen Mobai felt at ease.


    However, he remained very concerned about the reaction from the Ice Palace.


    Regrettably, their Five Elements Sect could only dominate in the Eastern Wilderness¨Cin leaving it, even in the East Barbarians where they had a shop run by Chu Zuoshu, they were virtually powerless.


    Even more so in the East Land.


    Just as he was considering whether to send Liu Wenbo, the Eldest Disciple, to spread the Little Nan Mountain Shop throughout the entire Eastern Region and its six domains, E Yun came in with Shen Shanqing asking for an audience.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    He was just the person he was looking to meet.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this is a reply from Master Zhang Zibo of Dongwu, please take a look.¡±


    Shen Shanqing had come for the matter of the Heterodox Golden Core, and upon reading it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    Zhang Zibo¡¯s conditions were slightly better than those of the Star Heaven Dao Sect but only by a limited margin.

 Chapter 1327 - Chapter 1327 Chapter 730 Dividing the Dan (7k)_3

    Chapter 1327: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_3 Chapter 1327: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_3 The cost to refine a single Heterodox Golden Core is one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with all materials provided by Chen Mobai, and the success rate is not guaranteed.


    But if the refinement fails, the fee of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones won¡¯t be charged.


    That is to say, if successful, the charge is one hundred thousand.


    It¡¯s not that it¡¯s considered expensive, Chen Mobai was just a bit worried about the success rate.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please rest assured, Master Zhang is most skilled in refining Heterodox Golden Cores, and all the Third-Order Demon Beast Inner Pills hunted in Dongwu are handled by him.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s concerns, Shen Shanqing immediately assured him, slapping his chest in guarantee.


    Zhang Zibo¡¯s level in refining Heterodox Golden Cores, nourished by successive Third-Order Monster Beast Inner Pills provided by the Dongwu Sun Family, is top-notch; even if taken to the East Land, his skill stands out.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I might need to trouble Chef Shen several times.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s statement left Shen Shanqing a bit puzzled. Why several times?


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s our first cooperation and the materials for the Heterodox Golden Core are precious, so I plan to send them one by one, asking Master Zhang to help with the refining.¡±


    Chen Mobai, now half a local, didn¡¯t have much confidence in the backstabbing culture of the Tianhe Realm.


    Refining them one by one, even if one gets stolen, would be acceptable.


    ¡°In that case, why doesn¡¯t Sect Master Chen send a trusted person? I can introduce them the first time, and for the subsequent times, your sect can liaise directly with Master Zhang¨Chow about that?¡±


    After hearing this, Shen Shanqing also gave a suggestion, to which Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement.


    No need to choose a trusted person¨Cit would be Liu Wenbo.


    He and Shen Shanqing had met during their time in the Ruins.


    ¡°Chef Shen, there¡¯s one more thing¡­¡±


    After discussing the Heterodox Golden Cores, Chen Mobai brought up the matter of the Ice Palace.


    ¡°Ah, I didn¡¯t expect True Person Kong of the Snow-blowing Palace to engage in such demonic practices!¡±


    Shen Shanqing was greatly surprised when he heard this.


    He had no doubts about what Chen Mobai said, as the latter had also reported the matter to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    In the Six Realms of the Eastern Region, no one dared to deceive the Holy Land.


    ¡°I¡¯m worried that before the emissaries from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrive, the Ice Palace might come first to seek retribution. Thus, I would like to request your faction to keep an eye on Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s whereabouts.¡±


    If the Nascent Soul Bing Yun Hermit does not come from the Ice Palace, their Five Elements Sect would not fear anyone.


    But if a Nascent Soul were to come, then they must prepare for a large battle that would last until the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrives.


    At that time, it will be impossible to conceal Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Legal Body Nascent Soul.


    The cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness haven¡¯t seen much and would treat Zhou Shengqing as a real Nascent Soul Cultivator, but those from the East Land would definitely recognize him.


    Although a Legal Body Nascent Soul is still a Nascent Soul, once exposed, future concealment against an opponent would be impossible.


    So, Chen Mobai thought to keep it hidden as long as possible.


    Isn¡¯t this an example!


    If Kong Lingling knew Zhou Shengqing was a Nascent Soul, she probably wouldn¡¯t come out from behind the ice wall even if it killed her.


    ¡°That¡¯s simple. To come to the Eastern Wilderness, one must pass through the large-scale Transmission Array at Dongyi¡¯s Golden Crow Immortal City. If it¡¯s a Nascent Soul Cultivator, because of the powerful Spiritual Power, the large-scale Transmission Array can only transport that individual alone.¡±


    Sky Meal Building is massive in Dongyi, with Golden Core Cultivators stationed in all three major Immortal Cities. Shen Shanqing often needs to go there for supplies, so he also has some connections.


    However, upon hearing this, Chen Mobai also made arrangements to have Chu Zuoshu from Golden Crow Immortal City keep an eye on the large-scale Transmission Array.


    If it activates one day and someone comes out alone, they could be identified as Bing Yun Hermit.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    Everything is ready; only the arrival of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect members is awaited.


    ¡°I wonder if True Person Ye and True Person Yuan are still in Dongyi?¡±


    Just when Shen Shanqing had access to information, Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°It¡¯s unfortunate, but I just received news from the main store of Pure Immortal City that True Person Ye and True Person Yuan left Kong Sang Valley three days ago and should have already traveled back to the East Land using a large-scale Transmission Array.¡±


    Pure Immortal City, which is operated by the Nascent Soul Major Faction in Kong Sang Valley, naturally has a branch there doing business. Since Shen Shanqing had been led into the Ruins by Ye Qing earlier, the store manager from that side had sent him the news.


    ¡°Is that Corpse Cultivator related to Kong Sang Valley?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled the suspected female Corpse Cultivator from Kong Sang Valley he encountered in the Ruins and couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Because the method of Corpse Cultivation is one of the demonic cultivation techniques expressly forbidden by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, confirming this connection could potentially cripple the Kong Sang Valley, which had been thriving since Ku Zhu¡¯s return.


    ¡°Related.¡±

    Chen Mobai, who owed Shen Shanqing a life-saving debt in the Ruins, did not hide anything and spoke directly.


    ¡°Oh, then how is Kong Sang Valley now?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s mood became somewhat heavy as he spoke.


    Kong Sang Valley, bearing the brunt of their formidable enemy, the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace, counted as the best ally of their Five Elements Sect, and he was very reluctant to see them implicated by the Demon Path and run into troubles.


    ¡°Elder Muqin admitted that the female Corpse Cultivator was her disciple, Yu Lantian. She also knew that Yu Lantian had obtained the Soul Summoning Lamp and the method of Corpse Cultivation from a black market trade, but she strictly commanded her not to engage in the cultivation of demonic techniques. Yu Lantian promised Elder Muqin to her face, but she suddenly disappeared one day as she aged.¡±

 Chapter 1328 - Chapter 1328 Chapter 730 Dividing the Dan (7k)_4

    Chapter 1328: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_4 Chapter 1328: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k)_4 This discourse was the explanation from Kong Sang Valley, and though it was the truth under the Daoist Heart Oath, details were surely omitted.


    ¡°How were Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen dealt with?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very curious about this, as he was also about to face the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    ¡°True Person Ye believed that Elder Muqin, fully aware that his disciple had acquired a Demonic Cultivation Technique, yet failed to take proper measures to prevent him from becoming a Corpse Cultivator, was guilty of dereliction of duty and should suffer the punishment of Seven Swords Piercing the Body.¡±


    ¡°But Elder Muqin was already nearing the end of his lifespan, and if he were to undergo the Seven Swords Piercing the Body by Jiutian Dangmo Sect, his life would certainly come to an end.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, Ku Zhu ascended at the last moment, took the punishment on behalf of his master, and was subjected to the Seven Swords Piercing the Body by True Person Ye Qing, his blood nearly dyeing the bamboo forest red at the entrance of Kong Sang Valley!¡±


    At this point, Shen Shanqing also showed admiration.


    He knew he couldn¡¯t do the same.


    The Seven Swords Piercing the Body from Jiutian Dangmo Sect was torture that crushed a cultivator¡¯s bones, muscles, organs, and marrow into pieces, and intense pain that, it was said, even a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) could not bear. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the pain.


    ¡°Ku Zhu, a True Cultivator as well!¡±


    Chen Mobai remarked admiringly.


    ¡°However, after this event, I¡¯ve heard that there¡¯s brewing a major change within Kong Sang Valley. After all, Elder Muqin shielded his disciple who fell into the Demon Path, and although Jiutian Dangmo Sect has already made its judgment, Xuan Xiao Dao Palace pressed down by the affair will certainly not miss this opportunity to unite with other major sects to reclaim their position.¡±


    Shen Shanqing, aware of the feud between the Five Elements Sect and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, shared the news without needing Mobai to ask.


    ¡°Looks like I need to take action myself to break through Xuan Xiao Dao Palace!¡±


    Chen Mobai declared, leaving Shen Shanqing stunned by his words.


    He felt that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, Nascent Soul Formation was highly likely in the future, but Xuan Xiao Dao Palace was a millennial sect, and Golden Wind Ancestor was strong enough to stand up to someone like Ku Zhu, a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator. With the current strength of the Five Elements Sect, claiming to break through Xuan Xiao Dao Palace might be overly confident!


    For that, Shen Shanqing just chuckled dryly, offering no reply.


    Chen Mobai then chatted with him a bit longer and learned more specific information from the East Barbarian lands, such as the fact that Baiwu Ancestor of Sun Bathing Sea seemed persuaded by the people of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, preparing to use the cause provided by Jiutian Dangmo Sect and join hands with Golden Wind Ancestor to suppress Ku Zhu.


    If they could eliminate this promising Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator while he was severely weakened from the Seven Swords Piercing the Body, it would be an enormous boon for Sun Bathing Sea.


    Chen Mobai also found this predictable.


    Cultivators of the Tianhe Realm always fostered a survival of the fittest style.


    Chen Mobai felt a great pity that he himself had yet to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, otherwise, he would not stand by and watch Sun Bathing Sea and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace oppress Kong Sang Valley.


    He hoped Ku Zhu could hold on for a few more decades.


    While Chen Mobai was thinking this, Liu Wenbo, who had received his message, came in with two jars of wine.


    The wine was a thank-you gift for Shen Shanqing, as both the Heterodox Golden Core and the information from East Land were very important to Chen Mobai.


    Moreover, he needed Wenbo¡¯s help to facilitate and introduce Zhang Zibo of East Land to Wenbo.


    Shen Shanqing initially refused but accepted with glee the two jars of Rank-3 Spiritual Wine.


    After the two departed, Chen Mobai called in Yue Zutao and Zheng Deming, who had followed him back to Northern Abyss City.


    He first inquired about their sect contributions.


    He found that Yue Zutao¡¯s contributions should place him fifth, while Zheng Deming¡¯s points were likely the lowest.


    On inquiry, he learned that Zheng had already spent all his contribution points because he had no faction backing and had to rely on himself for cultivation resources, using them as soon as he received them.


    When Zheng Deming learned of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, he tried to make amends, but it was already too late.


    Naturally, this left Zheng quite disappointed.


    ¡°I slew four Rank-3 Demonic Beasts in the ruins, among which, there were two Earth Attribute Rank-3 Inner Cores. Let¡¯s see if we can refine a Heterodox Golden Core. If possible, you would be the most suitable candidate.¡±


    However, Zheng Deming had once helped Chen Mobai with tasks, and Chen now considered him his man. Chen Mobai decided to set an example of him for other Loose Cultivators, so he brought up the matter of the Heterodox Golden Core.


    ¡°Disciple thanks the Sect Leader for his great kindness!¡±


    Zheng Deming was overjoyed, having not expected such good fortune, and immediately paid his respects to Chen Mobai.


    Yue Zutao, who was listening, was also filled with envy.


    After all, compared to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, a Heterodox Golden Core could give a practitioner at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage the power equivalent to the Golden Core Stage immediately.


    ¡°Exchanging for a Heterodox Golden Core requires 300,000 Contribution Points. In the absence of external wars and major enemies, I cannot give you credit like I did for Luo Xue¡¯er. You need to work hard and earn Sect Contributions on your own from now on.¡±


    Chen Mobai added another line and Zheng Deming nodded immediately, indicating that from now on, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was his home. As long as there were tasks available, he would not rest.


    After instructing Zheng Deming, Chen Mobai did not forget Yue Zutao, who was of his direct lineage.


    Now that Eastern Wilderness had been united, and only awaiting Yan Shaoyin¡¯s step into ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and subsequent demise at Back to Sky Valley, Chen felt it was time to pacify with quietude, letting the disciples return to the mountains for secluded cultivation.


    It was time to open up the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill so that Yue Zutao and the others could prepare for their Golden Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations were not high¨Ctwo successes would be enough to be worthwhile.


    In order to gradually shift the sect¡¯s center to Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai decided to announce the exchange of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill there.


    Taking this opportunity, he also relocated the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to Northern Abyss City.


    Of course, the one at Giant Tree Ridge was not closed.


    But from now on, there would be more and more tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Northern Abyss City. Chen Mobai even planned to open it to the Loose Cultivators in Immortal City, allowing them to spend Spirit Stones to post tasks.


    When the situation seemed right, he would consider broadening the criteria for those who could take these tasks. Even if they were not from the Five Elements Sect, as long as they registered with his sect, they could also accept tasks.


    He aimed to make this Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Northern Abyss City the task center for all Eastern Wilderness Cultivators.


    In this way, he could gradually get his hands on all the precious resources of the Eastern Wilderness.


    The inaugural offering at this Northern Abyss City¡¯s Spirit Treasure Pavilion was the exchange for Golden Liquid Jade Pills.


    The Foundation Establishment Completion practitioners who qualified had already received the news.


    In the end, the highest contributors were Meng Hong, Yin Qingmei, Xie Yuntian, Quan Shanlin, and Yue Zutao.


    When each of them paid 100,000 Sect Contribution Points and received a Golden Liquid Jade Pill from Chen Mobai, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners were filled with envy and jealousy.


    Although Chen Mobai did not specify the chances of advancing to Golden Core Formation, such Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine had never been seen before in Eastern Wilderness.

    All the Foundation Establishment practitioners wished they could have one.


    Xie Yuntian and the others were peak practitioners at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage. But faced with the intensely heated gazes around them, they too felt somewhat uneasy.


    ¡°Meng Hong, escort those three back to Giant Tree Ridge, while Qing Mei will stay here, and I will personally guide her in Core Formation,¡± Chen Mobai directed Meng Hong. Having refined the Heterodox Golden Core and received a Golden Liquid Jade Pill, he was also preparing for his final chance at Golden Core Formation back at Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    The four who obtained the Golden Liquid Jade Pills had no desire to delay. They left the scene immediately via the Teleportation Array.

 Chapter 1329 - Chapter 1329 Chapter 731 Yin Qingmeis Core Formation (Thanks

    Chapter 1329: Chapter 731: Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation (Thanks to Nuanyang1314¡¯s Gold League) Chapter 1329: Chapter 731: Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation (Thanks to Nuanyang1314¡¯s Gold League) The Jiutian Dangmo Sect was located on the highest peak of the East Land, Tongtian Peak.


    This place was also one of the few Sixth Grade Spirit Veins in the East Continent, and at the summit stood the Tongtian Refining Road Tower, a renowned Sixth-Level Spiritual Treasure, as famous as the Tai Peacekeeping Sword.


    The number one Divinity Transformation cultivator in the East Continent, Profound Heaven True Monarch Yuan Qingque, had long been cultivating at Tongtian Peak.


    After Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen returned, they reported the completion of their mission to the Sect Leader and claimed their rewards before coming to Tongtian Peak.


    ¡°Greetings, Master!¡±


    The two landed at the summit, standing in front of a seven-layer high tower, and gave their salutes towards the top level of the tower.


    ¡°Qing¡¯er, you can begin your ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. Are the Coagulation Infant Pill and Three Lights Divine Water ready?¡±


    A deep and forceful voice rang from the top of the tower, clearly reaching the ears of Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, the Sect Leader has already handed them to me.¡±


    Ye Qing nodded respectfully, taking out two items from his Storage Bag. A vast Divine Sense descended from the top of the tower to check them and after confirming there were no issues, it transformed into a youthful figure with white hair and a childlike appearance.


    ¡°Did you gain anything from slaying that Demon Cultivator?¡±


    ¡°Full You Daoist indeed had a scale from the Nine-Headed Great Saint; this is his Storage Bag.¡±


    Ye Qing presented the items, and the youthful figure with white hair and a childlike face took them, only taking out the multicolored scale to inspect.


    ¡°How is the Mirage Dragon Essence?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhen immediately took out the Green Mirage Bottle from her Storage Bag.


    ¡°Reporting to Elder Ancestor, I have absorbed all of the Mirage Dragon Essence according to your plan.¡±


    Yuan Qingque hooked his finger slightly, and the Green Mirage Bottle fell into his palm. Then, with a couple of shakes, the jade vial, which initially had a mix of auras, became as clear and verdant as a slate of Qing stone after the rain.


    Ye Qing couldn¡¯t help but marvel at his master¡¯s profound power.


    In just a matter of moments, he had refined all of the Mirage Dragon Essence into the Green Mirage Bottle and even melted all the Demonic beasts of Rank-3 and above that had been absorbed alongside the Mirage Fog.


    The essence that could be refined would turn into a type of elixir called the True Blood Pill, capable of enhancing a cultivator¡¯s Cultivation Level.


    The rest, seen as impurities, had been dissipated above Tongtian Peak under the light flicks from Yuan Qingque¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Stretch out your hand?¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Zhen obediently spread out her pale hands in front of her.


    Yuan Qingque tilted the now-refined bottle towards Yuan Zhen¡¯s palms, and gently, three bright red pills fell out, emitting a faint fragrant scent.


    ¡°Swallow these three True Blood Pills, and you will achieve Perfect Core Formation and can take the position of the Saintess.¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Qingque¡¯s words, Yuan Zhen paid her respects with great excitement.


    ¡°However, your talent, after all, is still lacking some. During Qing¡¯er¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation period, you will act as the Saintess of our Jiutian Dangmo Sect and walk among the people. If you embarrass us in front of the First Origin Dao Palace, it won¡¯t reflect well on me¡­¡±


    Yuan Qingque knew Yuan Zhen¡¯s talent well. Although she was outstanding compared to other disciples of Jiutian Dangmo Sect,


    As a Saintess, she had to measure up to Ye Qing and other holy lands¡¯ saintly Taoist Child.


    She was somewhat lacking in this comparison.


    However, Jiutian Dangmo Sect indeed hadn¡¯t had any remarkable female cultivators in recent centuries. Among the several excellent candidates, since there was Yuan Zhen as a descendant, it was only right to choose her.


    After pondering for a while, Yuan Qingque also placed the jade bottle he had refined into Yuan Zhen¡¯s hands.


    ¡°You can use this Green Mirage Bottle for now.¡±


    At this, Yuan Zhen¡¯s face showed even more surprise.


    After Yuan Qingque¡¯s refinement, this Green Mirage Bottle had become a genuine Fifth-Level Magical Treasure.


    Furthermore, as she possessed Yuan Qingque¡¯s bloodline, by burning her essence blood without reserve, she could unleash the power of this magical treasure.


    With this magical treasure, even Nascent Soul Cultivators without methods to counter Fifth-Level artifacts wouldn¡¯t dare to act recklessly in front of Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°Go now. Qing¡¯er will stay here for Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Yuan Qingque waved his hand, and Yuan Zhen immediately retreated.


    Not long afterwards.


    Jiutian Dangmo Sect announced that Yuan Zhen had become the current Saintess. She would replace the Holy Land, traverse the world, and inspect all directions.


    And at the same time.


    Inside the Ice Palace, a cold-faced beautiful woman stepped out of the sect, heading furiously towards the East Barbarians.


    ¡­


    In the Eastern Wilderness, Northern Abyss City.


    Chen Mobai finished distributing the five Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills and felt that all his mundane matters were cleared.


    The cabinet he had established over the years had been trained to be competent in handling various political affairs.


    Very little could trouble him now.


    After reiterating the various details and points of caution regarding Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation, Chen Mobai personally escorted her to Liu Jia Mountain in Rainbow County.


    This was because her Destiny Spirit Plant was here, and moreover, Yin Qingmei had cultivated near the Biyu Wutong for nearly twenty years, familiarizing herself with the air, earth, and Spiritual Energy of Liu Jia Mountain.


    According to the theories of Immortal Gates, she was more likely to break through on Liu Jia Mountain.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yin Qingmei had extraordinary trust in Chen Mobai. Having heard his advice, she abandoned the idea of returning to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Moreover, by attempting her breakthrough on Liu Jia Mountain and with Chen Mobai¡¯s protection, he could support her.


    That was the reason for personally escorting her this time.


    Yin Qingmei had been perfecting her Foundation Establishment Completion state for quite some time and had already experienced the insights of advancing from Rank-2 to Rank-3 through her Destiny Spirit Plant. If not for waiting on the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, she could induce a breakthrough at any moment.


    This time, Chen Mobai¡¯s main purpose in escorting Yin Qingmei was also for another matter.

 Chapter 1330 - Chapter 1330 Chapter 731 Yin Qingmeis Core Formation (Thanks

    Chapter 1330: Chapter 731: Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation (Thanks to Nuanyang1314¡¯s Gold League)_2 Chapter 1330: Chapter 731: Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation (Thanks to Nuanyang1314¡¯s Gold League)_2 That was to try the simultaneous cultivation of the Five Elements and cultivate the Primordial True Qi once more.


    Of course, the simultaneous cultivation of the Five Elements would need to wait until after Yin Qingmei achieved Core Formation.


    Since Yin Qingmei had mastered One-Leaf Blindness, there was no need to worry about the Heavenly Tribulation; she only needed to break through her realm, just as Chen Mobai had done in the Immortal Gate.


    After receiving his orders, Luo Yixuan had already returned from Yun Meng Ze, where the frenzy of demonic beasts had recently subsided. However, to be cautious, Chen Mobai still asked Zhou Shengqing to go there to act as town guard.


    Atop Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai gave Yin Qingmei her final instructions.


    For cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, reaching Core Formation was akin to a natural moat¨Camong loose cultivators, it was unheard of to cross this significant realm.


    Even within the great sects, only a few could achieve it.


    Even though Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, was almost certain to succeed in forming her core, she was extremely nervous about this challenge.


    ¡°Qingmei, just normally consume the pill for your breakthrough, and if there¡¯s any issue, I will guide you through Divine Sense transmission,¡± Chen Mobai said, easing the nervousness in Yin Qingmei¡¯s heart, who noticeably relaxed after hearing his words.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Because Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming were nearby, she refrained from using another form of address.


    After taking a deep breath, Yin Qingmei took out a Golden Liquid Jade Pill, covered her face with her sleeve, and swallowed it in one gulp.


    In an instant, the Longevity Spiritual Power from the Blue Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture within her Dantian Qi Sea, which had already reached its limit, surged dramatically. The immense and vast Spiritual Power impacted the solid bottleneck, causing the once tightened edges of the Dantian Qi Sea to start expanding.


    This expansion indicated a crack in the bottleneck, and soon a chain reaction occurred. Within a few breaths, the entire Dantian Qi Sea could no longer hold tight and burst forth in expansion!


    At this moment, Yin Qingmei¡¯s Blue Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture had stepped into the level of Core Formation.


    But the true test was just beginning.


    Yin Qingmei felt her body becoming heavy, as if the Spiritual Power, which was once as easy to control as her own limbs, suddenly became sluggish.


    She needed to expend significant effort just to manipulate a fraction of her Spiritual Power.


    This was because her physical body and Divine Sense hadn¡¯t yet transformed and were somewhat unable to bear and manipulate the Gold Core Spiritual Power.


    Yin Qingmei recalled the details of Core Formation that Chen Mobai had explained and immediately began to enhance her Divine Sense. Initially, she wanted to rely on her own strength.


    However, she quickly realized that whether it was her physical strength or Divine Sense, both seemed to be stuck just short of the final step.


    She felt that she could break through using her own accumulated strength.


    But remembering Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, she immediately split the medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill in two, sending one portion surging into her Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and the other flowing from the Dantian Qi Sea through the twelve meridians across her body.


    Soon, her Divine Sense also crossed the bottleneck.


    Yin Qingmei then felt that she could manipulate Spiritual Power effortlessly again, although achieving the intuitive ease she had during Foundation Establishment would require some readjustment.


    Following the Divine Sense and Spiritual Power, it wasn¡¯t long before her physical body also began its slow transformation under the influence of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Yin Qingmei cultivated the simplest form of Wood Spirit Body because for her, as long as she mastered the Longevity Technique, she would automatically have a Body Forging Realm akin to the perfection of a Longevity Dao Body, thus there was no need to waste resources and time.


    The Wood Spirit Body was famously easy to cultivate, and she had chosen this path after consulting Chen Mobai and confirming it would aid in her breakthrough.


    Sure enough, her Wood Spirit Body, which had already been at the peak of Rank-2, ascended to Rank-3 within half an hour thanks to the enhancement from the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    The power of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill hadn¡¯t even run out yet, indicating that Yin Qingmei¡¯s daily cultivation was indeed diligent and solidly built. Moreover, following Chen Mobai¡¯s advice, she had not consumed many pills, and there were few deficiencies that needed to be compensated for by the pills.


    After breaking through all three barriers of essence, qi, and spirit, Yin Qingmei began circulating the Core Formation stage¡¯s mantra of the Blue Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture.


    Amidst the rustling sounds, the Azure Jadeite Parasol Tree, connected with Yin Qingmei¡¯s essence, qi, and spirit, also sensed this change and immediately began to gather the surrounding nature¡¯s spiritual energy to imbue into her.


    At this time, all the spiritual energy of Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s entire spirit vein was slowly flowing towards this location, being absorbed and transformed by the Azure Jadeite Parasol Tree into strands of pure, brilliant spiritual light, which then slowly flowed into Yin Qingmei¡¯s body.


    This was also the purest longevity spiritual power, although the quality of the spiritual power was not as high as that cultivated by Yin Qingmei herself, but it saved her the effort of refining and absorbing spirit qi herself.


    She only needed to run the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture to easily absorb the longevity spiritual power transformed from the Azure Jadeite Parasol Tree.


    At this time, the remaining medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill also began to play a role.


    The elixir combined with the spiritual power, rapidly catalyzing the condensation of spiritual power towards a higher level of energy evolution.


    Soon, the full hundred drops of Qing Emperor¡¯s longevity spiritual power were catalyzed and condensed by the elixir, and a point of extremely brilliant brightness shone forth.


    Yin Qingmei was constantly focusing on her Dantian Qi Sea¡¯s divine sense at this time and was unable to see clearly.


    But her heart surged with an unprecedented joy.


    Quickly, the brightness dissipated, and a grain of rice-sized gold and blue gold core appeared within her divine sense.


    The gold core was formed!


    But quickly, this grain-sized gold core suddenly became somewhat illusory, as if it was congenitally deficient and about to start dissipating soon after its birth.


    Yin Qingmei immediately poured the remaining liquid spiritual power in her Dantian Qi Sea over it, and the last bit of medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill also surged up to help her consolidate this hard-won gold core.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai, who was watching closely from the outside, immediately flicked his finger.


    At the mountaintop, a spirit gathering array, composed of twenty-four top-grade spirit stones, was instantly activated by him.


    In that instant, the concentration of spiritual energy at the peak of Liu Jia Mountain was almost comparable to a Rank-4 top-tier spirit vein.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, the overwhelming, vast spiritual energy swirled around the Azure Jadeite Parasol Tree.


    With this Destiny Spirit Plant assisting her, Yin Qingmei only needed to focus entirely on stabilizing the newly formed gold core, which was a huge advantage compared to other golden core cultivators.


    Quickly, under the unending supply of spiritual energy, the originally rice-sized gold core began to expand.


    Eventually, Yin Qingmei felt like she could not control her divine sense anymore and stopped.


    This indicated that she had pushed the step of core formation to the limit of her abilities.


    Boom!


    At this time, clouds gathered in the sky, and the terrifying nature¡¯s spiritual energy poured crazily, turning into flashes of lightning and thunder, like arcs of brilliant light exploding in the air with great booming sounds.


    The heavenly tribulation was here!


    If it were before, this naturally needed to be taken seriously.


    But now, as the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, Five Elements Sect had no adversaries in this domain.


    This time Yin Qingmei formed her core, besides Chen Mobai personally overseeing by her side, Yan Yuanhao, the town guard of Rainbow County, also led the monks of Wood Vein and formed the Alpha Wood Soldiers at the foot of the mountain, setting up the first line of defense.


    Moreover, before this, Yan Yuanhao had already visited the major cultivators nearby, notifying them to leave the area within three hundred miles of Liu Jia Mountain during this time.


    Some cultivators guessed that Fairy Qingmei on Liu Jia Mountain might be forming her core, and they packed up first thing.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And to compensate these cultivators, Yan Yuanhao even offered the teleportation array between Rainbow County and Northern Abyss City for free, which allowed them a rare opportunity to see the first Immortal City of the Eastern Wilderness; thus, most people agreed.


    The heavenly tribulation appeared for just a moment, boomed a few times, and just as it seemed about to explode onto the land, it suddenly fizzled out like a dud, fading away slowly.


    At the peak of Liu Jia Mountain!


    Under the Azure Jadeite Parasol Tree, a girl with a countenance as exquisite as jade and skin as white as snow slowly opened her clear, sparkling eyes.


    Yin Qingmei, feeling the starkly different, powerful strength after forming her core, inadvertently broke into joy on her face.

 Chapter 1331 - Chapter 1331 Chapter 732 After All They Are Outsiders

    Chapter 1331: Chapter 732: After All, They Are Outsiders Chapter 1331: Chapter 732: After All, They Are Outsiders When Yin Qingmei was undergoing Core Formation, Chen Mobai, along with Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming, retreated to the mountainside.


    Although according to his estimation, the success of Core Formation was almost a sure thing,


    when he actually saw the Heavenly Tribulation dissipate and Yin Qingmei rise radiantly from beneath the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, he still let out a slight sigh of relief.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, for your protection. I have formed my core.¡±


    After standing up, Yin Qingmei naturally sought out Chen Mobai first, bowing slightly to him from the mountainside.


    For some reason, she seemed even more beautiful after forming her core.


    Today, she donned a silver-white long gown, pristine and flawless, her long hair tied back, her waist slender.


    When she flew from the mountaintop toward Chen Mobai, her figure was graceful and her expression jubilant, as if dancing elegantly, dazzlingly beautiful.


    In that instant, even the usually proud Luo Yixuan felt a tinge of astonishment, only feeling that Yin Qingmei was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.


    ¡°You just had your breakthrough, and your realm still needs to be solidified further¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Yin Qingmei rush to meet him so soon after her Core Formation, couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, advising her not to overly concern herself with formalities.


    ¡°Yes, but I feel drained today, and cultivating further might not yield good results. Let¡¯s continue solidifying my realm tomorrow.¡±


    Yin Qingmei, having just formed her core, spoke much more boldly than before.


    Normally, facing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, she would¡¯ve just nodded without any comment.


    But what she said made sense, as consolidating one¡¯s cultivation indeed requires a balance between effort and rest.


    Moreover, because Yin Qingmei possessed a Destiny Spirit Plant, she didn¡¯t need to expend any effort in refining Spirit Qi for integration, which is typically the most challenging part for ordinary cultivators forming their core¨Cshe simply needed to incorporate the Longevity Spiritual Power infused from the refined Azure Jadeite Sycamore into the formed Gold Core.


    What impeded her progress was only the realm of Divine Sense.


    ¡°Stretch out your hand!¡±


    Despite his assurance, Chen Mobai habitually wanted to check her pulse.


    Upon hearing this, Yin Qingmei softly nodded, lifted her wide, thin sleeve, and extended her arm, pale and lustrous like jade.


    After inspecting her, Chen Mobai found her realm was quite stable.


    The Golden Liquid Jade Pill was perfectly utilized by her, with her essence, qi, and spirit fully transformed; a regression was almost impossible.


    ¡°Well done, from today onward, our Five Elements Sect¡¯s Wood Vein has one more Golden Core Cultivator.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words brought an uncontrollable surge of excitement and joy to Yin Qingmei¡¯s face, as she looked at the Sect Leader with hesitation, seemingly wanting to say something.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    After checking her, Chen Mobai noticed her expression and curiously asked.


    ¡°Going forward, should I address you as ¡®Senior Brother,¡¯ Sect Leader?¡±


    This question from Yin Qingmei was something Chen Mobai had not anticipated. In the Eastern Wilderness, one¡¯s seniority in a sect is traditionally determined by Cultivation Realm; technically, after forming her core, Yin Qingmei was indeed eligible to advance in seniority.


    However, from the perspective of someone from the Immortal Gate, this wasn¡¯t ideal.


    ¡°Being a righteous and prestigious sect originating from Grand Ancestor Yiyuan, our Five Elements Sect has always ranked by seniority. Qing Mei, although you have formed your core, you¡¯re ultimately Senior Brother Fu¡¯s disciple. Since I am of equal standing with him, you¡¯re still of a younger generation.¡±


    Chen Mobai intended to change this tradition, and Zhou Shengqing and others agreed; hence, even after her Core Formation, Yin Qingmei remained a fourth-generation disciple of the Five Elements Sect.


    Ancestor Hunyuan, while alive, had celebrated the position of True Lord Yuan in Hunyuan Immortal City.


    So, according to tradition, the founders were first-generation.


    Li Zhongji alone was the second generation.


    The third generation included Zhou Shengqing and six others, and later, after their Core Formation, Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai were also elevated to this generation, totaling eight individuals.


    This was why Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t taken Zhou Shengqing as his mentor; otherwise, he would have been classified as fourth generation.


    Now, with Yin Qingmei forming her core, she belonged to the fourth generation of the Five Elements Sect.


    However, she could only be ranked second in this generation, with Luo Yixuan¨Cthe illegitimate core former¨Cbeing first. Despite the irregularity of her Core Formation, Divine Wood Sect had already declared it throughout the Eastern Wilderness. Even if something unexpected removed her now, her status as the main disciple and as the first of the Wood Vein¡¯s fourth generation was set in stone.


    If Zhuo Ming and others formed their core in the future, starting from Chen Mobai¡¯s status, they would also be of the fourth generation.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader Uncle!¡±


    Yin Qingmei, slightly disappointed after learning about the seniority from Chen Mobai, responded.


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan felt smug and looked at Yin Qingmei with a hint of malice.


    Chen Mobai might not have understood, but how could she not? This fellow had impure motives.


    It was undeniable that Senior Sister Yin, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root and immortal-like beauty, now added immense pressure on Luo Yixuan, sparking an urgent desire within her to form her core soon.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Just call me Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that in front of others, Yin Qingmei need not change the way she addressed him.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader. During my Core Formation, I encountered some difficulties and gained some insights. Let me share them with you so that you can guide the other cultivators of our sect.¡±


    Yin Qingmei¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod. The depth of a sect¡¯s heritage in the Tianhe Realm was measured by the quantity of insights gathered during major realm breakthroughs.


    As a dominant force in the Eastern Wilderness, the Five Elements Sect had quite a few insights on Core Formation, but to Chen Mobai, it still seemed insufficient.

 Chapter 1332 - Chapter 1332 Chapter 732 After All Hes an Outsider_2

    Chapter 1332: Chapter 732 After All, He¡¯s an Outsider_2 Chapter 1332: Chapter 732 After All, He¡¯s an Outsider_2 At a minimum, there must be double digits in one¡¯s Core Formation Insights regarding the Five Elements properties to barely meet the goals he had in mind.


    As Yin Qingmei and Chen Mobai were discussing the recent Core Formation matters, Zhuo Ming listened on with a face full of envy, as she was the one with the slowest progress among all those present.


    Yin Qingmei quickly finished sharing her Core Formation Insights, which were not much different from what Chen Mobai had estimated. It could only be said that the Divinity Transformation Technique and the assistance of her Destiny Spirit Plant had, at the very least, added thirty percent to her probability of successfully forming her core.


    In addition, the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, along with her own solid foundation, allowed her to smoothly and logically succeed in forming her core.


    ¡°After Qing Mei, it¡¯s Xuan¡¯s turn. I have an Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone here. Later, we¡¯ll go to the end of the Dark Water to find a suitable place for a Spirit Vein and put it in. Once the Dark Water expands to that point and connects with Yun Meng Ze and the Frost Country snowy mountains, we can transform it into a fourth-order Water Vein.¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai had finished speaking with Yin Qingmei and said something that made Luo Yixuan jump for joy.


    Her joy wasn¡¯t because she was going to have a fourth-order Water Vein; rather, it was because Chen Mobai had thought of her.


    ¡°Master, since Senior Sister Yin has just formed her core, why not give her some time to consolidate and recuperate. Let¡¯s go ahead and settle the matter of the fourth-order Water Vein first.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately spoke up, and Chen Mobai thought about it and felt it made sense, so he didn¡¯t delay Yin Qingmei further.


    ¡°Then I will await the Sect Leader¡¯s arrival.¡±


    Yin Qingmei could only say disappointedly in response.


    Chen Mobai nodded and immediately took his two apprentices, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, leaving Liu Jia Mountain to her.


    Finding a location for a fourth-order Water Vein was not an easy task.


    First and foremost, it had to be a place with a Spirit Vein, and it would be best if it were along the path of where the Dark Water was to expand. That way, it would be easier to reroute later, and one must also consider the future possibility of expansion towards the Endless Sand Sea.


    Even a very skilled Earth Master would have to spend a great deal of time to accomplish this.


    However, with the strength of the entire Five Elements Sect at his disposal, it was not difficult for Chen Mobai.


    He had already notified Yan Yuanhao in advance. As the Town Guard of Rainbow County, he immediately mobilized the cultivators of the county to start checking various oasis water veins and Spiritual Lands along the Dark Water.


    Aside from himself, he also gave orders to all the Cultivator Families within Rainbow County and even assigned tasks to Loose Cultivators.


    Whoever presented a suitable land with Water Veins would be rewarded with Spirit Stones, and if it was ultimately chosen by the Sect Leader, they would even be offered a second-order Cave Dwelling in Northern Abyss City.


    With such generous terms announced, it immediately sent the Loose Cultivators across the entire Rainbow Country into a frenzy.


    The strength of the masses was the most powerful. When Chen Mobai escorted Yin Qingmei to Core Formation, Yan Yuanhao at the foot of the mountain also presented his own drawn map of the water veins and Earth Spirits of Rainbow County.


    With the map in hand, it became much simpler.


    Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming, the most outstanding Earth Master, and started scouting along the course of the Dark Water, one by one.


    Among them, first-order and most second-order Spirit Veins were directly abandoned by them because upgrading them to fourth-order would be too costly in terms of labor and resources.


    What remained were five second-order high-grade Spirit Veins and two third-order Spirit Veins.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai truly marveled at the vastness and abundance of the Tianhe Realm.


    If these Spirit Veins were in the Immortal Gate area, they would have already been teeming with people.


    They went on to check each one along the way.


    Among the two third-order Spirit Veins, both were occupied by cultivators.


    One was the residence of the Wen family, a Cultivator Family from Rainbow County, and the other was an annexe of the Cultivator Family Deng family, where many medicinal herbs and Spirit Rice were planted.


    However, if Chen Mobai were to make a request, they would certainly not dare to refuse.


    After looking at everything, Chen Mobai found that the best location was an oasis called Cold Jade Lake, situated eight hundred li away from Liu Jia Mountain.


    It was a second-order high-grade Water Vein, inhabited by a dozen Loose Cultivators, the highest in Cultivation Level being a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Female Cultivator named Li Lanting.


    Cold Jade Lake was on the edge of Rainbow County¡¯s territory, and eighty li further was the Boundless Sand Sea.


    Chen Mobai envisioned that the expansion needed for Dark Water was to reach the border of Rainbow County and the Boundless Sand Sea. Once Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation level became high enough, he would then expand the oasis outward and manage this desert, which had been reduced to a wasteland after a locust plague.


    Although establishing a Rank-4 Water Vein would require more resources compared to the foundation of a Rank-3, Chen Mobai felt it was worth the investment as the core of the major project after opening up the Eastern Desolation Plateau.


    Moreover, those two Rank-3 Water Veins had been operated by Cultivator Families for a long time, and it wouldn¡¯t be quite appropriate for him to just take them by force.


    There were only sixteen Loose Cultivators around Cold Jade Lake, making them easier to settle.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t make the offer himself; Luo Yixuan took the initiative. After gathering all the Loose Cultivators, she presented them with an offer they couldn¡¯t refuse: one, each person would receive a set of Rank-2 Cave Dwellings in Northern Abyss City; two, each would be supplemented with five hundred Spirit Stones; three, if they chose to live in Northern Abyss City, they would be given priority in recruitment for projects like planting trees and sand control at Dark Water.


    Under these three conditions, all the Loose Cultivators immediately nodded their heads at Luo Yixuan, fearing she would change her mind if she thought twice about the generosity of her offer.


    Leaving everything else aside, a single Rank-2 property in Northern Abyss City was beyond their reach even with a lifetime of effort.


    Who would have thought that they could exchange their modest oasis for such assets? It was as though pies were falling from the sky.


    After settling this matter, Chen Mobai appeared out of the blue. The Loose Cultivator with the highest cultivation level seemed to recognize him and immediately knelt to perform a grand salutation.


    Li Lanting: ¡°Greetings, Immortal Venerate Chen!¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Oh, you know me?¡±


    Li Lanting: ¡°Reporting to Immortal Venerate Chen, during the battle at Water-Fire Pass, I assisted Grand Tutor Jiang alongside Daoist Bamboo Flower. When Grand Tutor Jiang summoned Immortal Venerate Chen, I happened to be in his tent, and it is for this reason that I could recognize True Person Luo.¡±


    Daoist Bamboo Flower was a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator from Rainbow County, with a decent reputation.


    When the Five Elements Sect was unified, Chen Mobai provided an impressive stage for Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi, leading Luo Yixuan and others to Water-Fire Pass.


    ¡°What a coincidence indeed.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai also nodded lightly towards the Female Cultivator, and seeing that she was familiar with the place, decided to keep her there to aid in the transformation of the Rank-4 Water Vein.


    Half a month later, the directors of the Formation Division and the Spirit Vein Division arrived here according to his orders.


    Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming had already surveyed the area, producing a plan for upgrading the Spirit Vein.


    Since it was the foundation of his disciple, Luo Yixuan¡¯s future cultivation, Chen Mobai spared no expense.


    In addition to an Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone used as the core of the Spirit Vein, he invested a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones. It was fortunate that he had received a substantial amount from Kong Lingling; otherwise, the funds might not have sufficed.


    Watching Chen Mobai¡¯s expenditure, Luo Yixuan was deeply moved, feeling that her master was truly good to her.


    On this day, Chen Mobai was discussing with Zhuo Ming about how to divert Dark Water and eventually merge it into Cold Jade Lake, and she promptly brewed a pot of hot tea and delivered it with eager attentiveness.


    ¡°Master, it has cooled just right. Please drink.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai casually picked it up and drank it down in one gulp, then continued discussing with Zhuo Ming about establishing a network of water channels touching the entirety of the Eastern Desolation with Cold Jade Lake as its hub.


    In the network of Immortal Gate¡¯s Earth, the part that belongs to the water sources and rivers is particularly referred to as the Water Networks.


    These imply that the major water systems above the earth¡¯s surface are like the meridians of the land, and the water sources are the lifeblood of the earth, critically important.


    When Chen Mobai initially opened up the Eastern Desolation Plateau, he had already considered this place.


    After the successful opening of the Mo River, White River, and Dark Water, they would eventually converge at Cold Jade Lake, and their sources¨CCloud Dream and Frost Country Snowy Mountains¨Cwere the nurturing cradle for the entire civilization of the Eastern Desolation.


    If Luo Yixuan¡¯s cultivation reached a sufficient level, she could preside here, using Cold Jade Lake to absorb the vast water veins of the Eastern Desolation for her cultivation of the Sea-control Mysterious Technique, which would be apt.

    Listening to her master and senior sister¡¯s discussion, although Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t understand the technicalities, she grasped what Chen Mobai meant.


    At that moment, she felt that her status in her master¡¯s heart must be the highest.


    Otherwise, why would he arrange such an ideal cultivation place for her?


    The more Luo Yixuan thought about it, the happier she became. In that instant, her spirits soared, and joy and delight couldn¡¯t help but dance in her eyes and lift the corners of her eyebrows.


    [Scoff, Yin Qingmei, after all, is an outsider¡­]

 Chapter 1333 - Chapter 1333 Chapter 733 Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again

    Chapter 1333: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k) Chapter 1333: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k) Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Yuan Zhen, who had just become a Saintess, felt extremely pleased.


    As a genius of the Yuan family, she had been instilled from a young age with the idea of becoming a Saintess.


    After all, the old ancestor was Huashen Zhenjun, the foremost figure in the East Continent. As his descendant, she, at the very least, had to be a Taoist Saintess so that the Sect could prioritize her access to Foundation Establishment Resources within the Holy Land.


    And once she established her foundation, even if Yuan Qingque ascended or something unexpected occurred, the Yuan family would still be able to secure their base within Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Yuan Qingque was the third Nascent Soul Seed cultivated by the Yuan family.


    However, for the Yuan family, and even for the entirety of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, all attention was on Ye Qing.


    After all, in a force at the level of a Holy Land, although Nascent Souls were among the higher-ups, only a Huashen Zhenjun could decide the main course and distribute the structure.


    Since Yuan Qingque¡¯s Divinity Transformation twenty generations ago, Jiutian Dangmo Sect had suppressed six regions in the Eastern Region, unchallenged.


    However, over the past century, there had always been an anxious mood internally.


    Because Yuan Qingque, the top Divine Transformation cultivator in the East Continent, didn¡¯t have much lifespan left, at most another 300 years. If she wanted to live on, she would have to force an Ascendance.


    Among the next generation of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, although there were three cultivators at Nascent Soul Complete, none had been able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage¨Ceither their talent was slightly lacking, their comprehension was just short of a line, or they couldn¡¯t find the right opportunity.


    This was why Ye Qing¡¯s emergence carried the great hopes of Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    And he had not disappointed, just awaiting Nascent Soul Formation before he would be taught the Dao Fruit of the Way of God Transformation and then given the Sixth-Order Treasure, Tai Peacekeeping Sword, to execute the way of slaying across the land.


    When Yuan Zhen was young, she was somewhat ambitious, thinking she could wield the Tai Peacekeeping Sword and become the second Huashen Zhenjun of the Yuan family.


    But after a hundred years of cultivation, she completely understood herself.


    It wasn¡¯t just about comparing herself to a rare genius like Ye Qing; within her own Sect, there were many geniuses far more outstanding and brilliant than her.


    Fortunately, those clearly more outstanding than her were male cultivators.


    Among female cultivators, she was still considered a leader.


    Even though becoming this leader had cost the Yuan family a massive amount of resources, the investment had paid off, and she had become the Saintess of Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Just waiting for Ye Qing to establish his foundation, she too could leverage the Sect for access to Coagulation Infant Pill and Three Lights Divine Water.


    Yuan Zhen could accept failing her Nascent Soul Formation once because there was Three Lights Divine Water.


    But she couldn¡¯t accept failing a second time.


    Because after two failures, not to mention Jiutian Dangmo Sect, even the Yuan family would abandon her.


    The previous Saintess had failed once, and on the second try, she had to gather resources on her own. Eventually, without the aid of Three Lights Divine Water, she forcefully attempted Nascent Soul Formation, which resulted in her Taoist Body collapsing and Purple Palace shattering, leading to her death.


    Being in the Holy Land, even as a descendant of the Yuan family, the competitive pressure was immense.


    Especially as a benchmark disciple like a Taoist Saintess, if one couldn¡¯t succeed in Nascent Soul Formation on the first attempt, to all cultivators in the East Land, it would be deemed insufficient.


    Thus, after obtaining the True Blood Pill, Yuan Zhen did not consume them all immediately but took one first, preparing to familiarize herself with the enhanced Spiritual Power and stabilize her foundation before continuing with the other two.


    The True Blood Pill had been refined by Yuan Qingque, so after meditating for three days, Yuan Zhen had completely refined it.


    Feeling her Spiritual Power nearly at Perfect Core Formation, Yuan Zhen exited seclusion, ready to exercise her authority as the Saintess of Jiutian Dangmo Sect and her right to travel across the land.


    Soon, disciples brought up the accumulated complaint letters from recent times.


    There was a huge box, with thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of letters.


    ¡°Senior Brother, did you use to handle these yourself before?¡±


    Seeing the letters spilled out, filling a large table, Yuan Zhen was somewhat dumbfounded.


    ¡°Yes, Taoist Child personally reviews each complaint letter to avoid wrongful cases. He then orders the disciples below to investigate and handle them. Some urgent ones, he even attends to personally.¡±


    With such a large Sect as Jiutian Dangmo Sect, it was naturally impossible for all matters to be handled by Ye Qing personally, and the Sect had specially designated experienced elder cultivators.


    However, Ye Qing was a workaholic who believed in hands-on involvement, and even so, he had never neglected his cultivation.


    Previously, Yuan Zhen used to wait for instructions because Ye Qing would handle matters personally and always call her along to gain some experience.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    On the first day, Yuan Zhen could still force herself to be as diligent and hands-on as Ye Qing.


    But after three days, she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.


    ¡°Let the disciples stationed in different regions handle these little demons, don¡¯t send them to me anymore.¡±


    ¡°And these, lacking evidence¨Cjust writing a small article saying Jinghua Sect is harboring demons and practicing Demonic Cultivation because they want to use our Jiutian Dangmo Sect as a tool. Capture those who wrote these complaint letters and take them to confront Jinghua Sect directly.¡±


    ¡°And this one, claiming there¡¯s a large-scale slaughter of creatures near Eastern Thousand Sacred Lake, practicing bloodthirsty Demonic Cultivation¨Cis this even something to be reported? That place is the Demon Ancestral Ground, where accomplished demon descendents like to make pilgrimages and incidentally kill a few. Isn¡¯t that normal? Aren¡¯t we supposed to be hands-off about matters in the Eastern Li Region? Doesn¡¯t he know that?¡±

 Chapter 1334 - Chapter 1334 Chapter 733 Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again

    Chapter 1334: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_2 Chapter 1334: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_2 ¡­


    Yuan Zhen couldn¡¯t understand how Ye Qing could have endured reviewing such foolish whistleblowing letters in the past.


    ¡°From now on, you all will review these letters first, and only bring them to me, the Saintess, if my personal intervention is needed.¡±


    Yuan Zhen felt that her valuable time should not be wasted on these trivial matters, so she gave the latest directive to the disciples below.


    ¡°Yes, Saintess!¡±


    Hearing her say this, a female cultivator in a blue dress closed the chest that had just been opened, containing hundreds of whistleblowing letters received that day.


    After Yuan Zhen gave her instructions, she immediately left the grand hall.


    The seven disciples inside the hall looked at each other, then skillfully divided all the whistleblowing letters and began their long-awaited busy work.


    Actually, this was the usual state of affairs for the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. Previously, because Ye Qing had been so energetic, the few assisting disciples had been quite leisurely.


    Now, Yuan Zhen was simply returning everything to the state before Ye Qing became Taoist Child.


    By midnight, one of the disciples came across a whistleblowing letter from the Eastern Wasteland. He glimpsed at it, found it incomprehensible and without evidence, and noted that it was anonymous.


    After reading it, he immediately put it into the box for letters that didn¡¯t need to be processed.


    The next day, when Yuan Zhen arrived, she only needed to look at the thirteen whistleblowing letters that the seven disciples had selected, which all complied with the Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s criteria for deploying disciples.


    They were all rational and formally registered, from individuals willing to confront the accused face to face.


    Yuan Zhen spent only an hour reviewing these thirteen whistleblowing letters.


    Two of them might require her, the Saintess, to handle personally; the rest would be managed by other disciples from the Tianxia Walking Hall.


    However, she could only attend to one person, and since both cases mentioned in the whistleblowing letters were quite severe, Yuan Zhen had to make a choice.


    She hesitated, as this was her first official task in the Tianxia Walking Hall since becoming the Saintess, and she couldn¡¯t afford to mess it up.


    Thus, she decided to return and consult her elders.


    The Yuan family¡¯s clan lands were located north of the Demon Slaying Mountain Range, only a dozen or so miles from Tongtian Peak, where Yuan Qingque was in seclusion.


    After landing at her family¡¯s doorstep, two disciples standing with swords immediately paid their respects to her, the Saintess.


    She nodded and was just about to step through the gate when she saw the head of the family, also her great-uncle, Yuan Huanghu, a Great Cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.


    ¡°Greetings to the family head.¡±


    Yuan Zhen immediately bowed to him. The Yuan family had rules, forbidding flight within the clan lands, so they all had to walk outside the main gate before they could fly.


    That was also why the two of them happened to meet at the gate.


    ¡°Why are you not accumulating merit for the sect in the Tianxia Walking Hall since becoming the Saintess, and how come you have time to come back?¡±


    Yuan Huanghu, seeing Yuan Zhen, started to reprimand her with a stern face.


    ¡°Reporting to the family head¡­¡±


    Yuan Zhen explained her reason for returning and then took out the two whistleblowing letters. After Yuan Huanghu swept through them with his Divine Sense, he immediately handed her a Storage Bag.


    ¡°Taoist Child is about to begin seclusion for ¡®Nascent Soul Formation.¡¯ The ancestor instructed us to send some fasting items to him. You might as well consult him about this matter while delivering these items for me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhen respectfully took the Storage Bag, and only after Yuan Huanghu turned and entered the family gate did she fly towards Tongtian Peak.


    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re just in time.¡±


    At Tongtian Peak, Ye Qing, after receiving the Storage Bag sent by Yuan Zhen, handed her a Message Talisman.


    ¡°Brother, what is this?¡±


    Yuan Zhen, somewhat surprised, took it and couldn¡¯t help but raise her eyebrows.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wasteland, has sent a letter saying that a Golden Core Cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace, Kong Lingling, has killed one of their Foundation Establishment Practitioners¡­¡±


    Ye Qing briefly described the situation, which he had received the night before. Unfortunately for him, ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ was now the most important.


    Chen Mobai mentioned on the Message Talisman that he had already dealt with Kong Lingling, so Ye Qing thought he would handle this matter after he came out of seclusion.


    But since Yuan Zhen had come up, it was a perfect opportunity to hand this task to her, the Saintess.


    ¡°I¡¯ll handle it personally!¡±


    Yuan Zhen, who had initially been worried about which task to choose as her first assignment for the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, suddenly found herself free of worry upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s Message Talisman.


    She wouldn¡¯t participate in either of the two original tasks, but would go to the Eastern Wasteland!


    ¡°Sister, this is just one side of the story from Sect Leader Chen. According to procedure, we need to first send someone to thoroughly investigate¡­¡±


    Ye Qing reminded her upon hearing this, somewhat unexpectedly.


    ¡°Tianxia Walking is also responsible for investigation. I find that I still enjoy the feeling of roaming outside. I just took a True Blood Pill, and after a trip to the Eastern Wasteland, I should be able to completely refine it.¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Zhen¡¯s words, Ye Qing didn¡¯t say much more.


    ¡°Sect Leader Chen is quite a decent person, it¡¯s just unfortunate that he is cultivating in the Eastern Wasteland. If he were in the First Origin Dao Palace, perhaps we could discuss the path together.¡±

    Ye Qing had a fine impression of Chen Mobai. After all, he had cultivated Primordial True Qi and, despite being at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, was considered a genius even within the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, second only to himself.


    ¡°Brother, you go into seclusion, and leave the tasks of the Tianxia Walking to me.¡±


    Yuan Zhen handed the Storage Bag back to Ye Qing and hastily descended the mountain.


    Back at the Tianxia Walking Hall, she instructed the disciples to sort out all the whistleblowing letters related to the East Barren East Yi and prepared to deal with them all at once during this trip.


    The Jiutian Dangmo Sect had its own Flying Artifact. Yuan Zhen took two female disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage and left the Demon Slaying Mountain Range for Guangwu Immortal City.

 Chapter 1335 - Chapter 1335 Chapter 733 Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again

    Chapter 1335: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_3 Chapter 1335: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_3 The large-scale teleportation array there could directly link to the Golden Crow Immortal City of the Eastern Yi.


    Eastern Yi!


    When Bing Yun Hermit stepped out alone from the large-scale teleportation array, the shock on the faces of people from all directions could not be concealed.


    In the territory of Eastern Yi, Nascent Soul Cultivators were undoubtedly akin to the heavens!


    ¡°Bai Wu, have him come see me!¡±


    As soon as Bing Yun Hermit exited the teleportation array, she called out to a young disciple who wore a golden law robe embroidered with cycles of the great sun.


    ¡°Senior, the ancestor left some days ago with several elders,¡± the young disciple had not yet replied when a brilliant golden light shone down in front of Bing Yun Hermit, and a True Person who was clearly at Core Formation spoke respectfully.


    ¡°He¡¯s not here? Then forget it, I¡¯ll go to the Eastern Wilderness myself; send someone who knows the way to go with me!¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit instructed the Core Formation Cultivator with a majestic face, and he immediately nodded in agreement. In no time, the cultivators in the Golden Crow Immortal City who were most familiar with the Eastern Wilderness were summoned over by Sun Bathing Sea.


    ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry, everyone follow!¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit waved her sleeve, producing an ice boat, and then a cold wind blew, gathering up all the cultivators present onto the ice boat, flying towards the Eastern Wilderness.


    At the same time, people from the Sky Meal Building had already begun to spread this news towards Northern Abyss City using their own channels.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai was unaware that Bing Yun Hermit was already furiously heading towards the Eastern Wilderness.


    He was feeling delighted that the water vein of Cold Jade Lake had been upgraded to Rank-3.


    With him and Zhuo Ming in control of the big picture, the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division of the sect had undergone numerous spirit vein upgrades in recent years, making the construction of the spirit vein here a well-worn path.


    After reaching Rank-3, it involved continuously dispersing superior quality spirit stones that had been buried and integrating them with the original spirit veins. One could even connect several nearby spirit veins to enhance the main vein of Cold Jade Lake.


    This was the grinding process because upgrading a fourth-grade lower class to Rank-4 was not something that could be accomplished in one go.


    Moreover, when designing the upgrade, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming had already reserved the possibility that Cold Jade Lake might one day assimilate all the water veins of the Eastern Wilderness, and these contingencies had to be pre-emptively set up during the upgrade.


    Although the design was now complete, turning it into reality was much more difficult and time-consuming.


    Chen Mobai did not make things difficult for the Spirit Vein Division and the Formation Division, asking them only to finish before the development of Dark Water was completed.


    He assigned the project to Luo Yixuan to oversee.


    After all, this would be her future arena, and since she was also in charge of Dark Water, it was convenient to handle both matters together.


    Luo Yixuan was also bubbling with enthusiasm, eager for a Rank-4 water vein arena to cultivate in right away.


    But at this time, Chen Mobai estimated that Yin Qingmei¡¯s realm had consolidated enough, and he planned to bring them back to try the co-cultivation method of the Five Elements again.


    Before Luo Yixuan left, in order to ensure constant updates on the progress at Cold Jade Lake, she left behind Han Lanting, a loose cultivator, who agreed to caretake for a yearly price of one hundred low-grade spirit stones.


    Han Lanting was naturally overjoyed to agree.


    Back at Liu Jia Mountain.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s multicolored clouds had even touched down, Yin Qingmei had already flown up to greet them.


    Soon, around the Biyu Wutong at the peak of Liu Jia Mountain, the four of them and one ghost sat in a circle, commencing the Five Elements co-cultivation under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance.


    This time, it was indeed different from before.


    With Primordial True Qi as the foundation, Chen Mobai found that his cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit seemed to have a backbone. Using it as a reference, he absorbed and refined the Five Elements spiritual power strand by strand.


    Gradually, that thread of Primordial True Qi began to grow slightly.


    As the Five Elements spiritual power flowed ceaselessly under the method of co-cultivation, the second thread of Primordial True Qi began to take shape inside Chen Mobai¡¯s middle dantian.


    Just as Chen Mobai decided to push on and condense a complete thread of it, he found that the spiritual power of the water and earth elements started to weaken, as the supply couldn¡¯t keep up.


    Under the method of co-cultivation, with a thought, he discovered the reason.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, after all, had not truly reached Core Formation, so their spiritual power was insufficient while cultivating the Primordial True Qi.


    Even Yin Qingmei, who had just formed her Gold Core, seemed a bit dimmed by the extraction of his Primordial True Qi.


    Meanwhile, Elder Ming, an old ghost of many years, had no such issues.


    After Chen Mobai realized this, he immediately stopped the Five Elements co-cultivation method.


    The second thread of Primordial True Qi was roughly one-tenth condensed, and Chen Mobai fused it into the first thread.


    When he opened his eyes, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan both looked somewhat pale.

    They were clearly strained from helping Chen Mobai cultivate Primordial True Qi with their Foundation Building realm power.


    Yin Qingmei looked normal, but Chen Mobai could feel the Biyu Wutong tree beside her constantly refining nature¡¯s spiritual energy into Longevity Spiritual Power and infusing it into her to replenish her energy.


    ¡°The Dao Fruit that the Saint Heir cultivates, one run of Five Elements co-cultivation by five just-formed Golden Core Cultivators should be just right to help you condense one thread of True Qi!¡±


    Elder Ming had a clear perspective; as Chen Mobai needed to focus on cultivation and couldn¡¯t be distracted, he asked her to observe. After ending the practice, she shared her judgement.


    ¡°I see¡­¡±

 Chapter 1336 - Chapter 1336 Chapter 733 Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again

    Chapter 1336: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_4 Chapter 1336: Chapter 733: Cultivating Primordial True Qi Again (7k)_4 This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first complete attempt at cultivating Primordial True Qi, and it was successful. This also made him understand why Zhou Shengqing and others were unwilling to assist Zhou Ye in cultivation.


    If the cultivation was overdone, it would not only hinder their own increase in Spiritual Power but might also damage their very origins.


    Under the circumstances of Zhou Shengqing and the others, as long as they helped Zhou Ye cultivate, there basically would be no chance for them to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After understanding this, Chen Mobai also decided that in the future, it would be better not to use the Co-cultivation Method to let Luo Yixuan and the others help cultivate Primordial True Qi.


    Once the hidden dangers of the Snow-blowing Palace were completely resolved, he planned to promote the Five Elements Essence Condensing Method on a large scale in the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, before that, he could start small-scale pilot testing in some areas.


    Where should this matter start? Who should be sent to handle it?


    The personnel in Northern Abyss City were too complicated.


    As for Giant Tree Ridge, the direct descendant Yue Zutao was definitely busy with Core Formation.


    Perhaps, should he give King Zhou an opportunity?


    Chen Mobai thought of this very capable sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment disciple.


    Through the years of training, King Zhou¡¯s capability and temperament had been unanimously recognized by the sect, and with Zhou Shengqing now having formed a Nascent Soul, although it was a Legal Body Nascent Soul, he definitely needed support for his descendants within the higher echelons of the sect.


    Chen Mobai might as well take the initiative to nurture him.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai had already planned to delegate the task of piloting the Five Elements Essence to King Zhou.


    If this matter was handled well, since he no longer needed Longevity Tree Sap and Longevity Dew, he could transfer these resources to him, sponsoring his cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body.


    If King Zhou could cultivate a Rank-3 Longevity Dao Body at the Foundation Establishment realm, then combining it with a Golden Liquid Jade Pill in the future, his chances of Core Formation were hopeful.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai wrote a Message Talisman to King Zhou, instructing him to wait for orders in Northern Abyss City.


    After concluding the Co-cultivation.


    Chen Mobai gave Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan a top-grade Spirit Stone each to recover their Spiritual Power.


    However, Zhuo Ming shook her head, indicating she had something better.


    She dug out a jar of Spiritual Wine buried under the roots of a Biyu Wutong tree, first scooped a cup for Chen Mobai, then used a small spoon to scoop some for herself and Luo Yixuan.


    Chen Mobai smelled the fragrance of peach fruit and instantly understood the origin of this Spiritual Wine.


    At this time, Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming had already drunk it and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to circulate power and refine.


    About after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, both women opened their eyes, their cheeks slightly rosy, appearing somewhat intoxicated.


    But the Spiritual Power that had been absorbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of Primordial True Qi during the previous Co-cultivation session was fully restored.


    ¡°Master, this is the Spiritual Wine I brewed using the Rank-4 Immortal Peach, one spoonful a day, equivalent to ten days of seated meditation cultivation.¡±


    While Zhuo Ming spoke, Chen Mobai had already finished the cup she had scooped for him.


    Seeing the Spiritual Wine ingested, it transformed into a stream of pure and powerful energy that spread easily, quickly refined by him into a uniquely owned Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Previously in cultivating Primordial True Qi, being the main cultivator, he had, in fact, consumed the most, but this cup of Spiritual Wine not only completely replenished him but even showed signs of overflowing.


    ¡°With this Spiritual Wine, Ming¡¯er seems likely to achieve Foundation Establishment Completion in a few years.¡±


    For Chen Mobai, this was also good news.


    Depending on this Spiritual Wine, the disciples under him could shorten the time needed to accumulate Spiritual Power.


    Unfortunately, having consumed a Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, this Spiritual Wine could only replenish his Spiritual Power, and he could not think about further advancement.


    ¡°Thanks also to the Master for bestowing such Immortal Fruit.¡±


    Zhuo Ming thanked Chen Mobai.


    On the side, Luo Yixuan, knowing how powerful this Spiritual Wine was, felt somewhat itchy to request a jar, but in front of Chen Mobai, she was always obedient, so she did not want to speak up.


    ¡°Qing Mei, you also take half a cup, then rest for half a day before we can induce the Heavenly Tribulation for this Biyu Wutong.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, Zhuo Ming obediently scooped half a cup for Yin Qingmei.


    In the Tianhe Realm, undergoing Core Formation inevitably brings Heavenly Tribulation.


    One-Leaf Blindness was excessively contrary to heaven¡¯s will, and if word got out, even the Holy Land might be tempted, causing Chen Mobai to devise a plan.


    Previously, during the upgrade of the Biyu Wutong, the Heavenly Tribulation was obscured.


    Now, as Yin Qingmei formed her core, her tribulation was used instead, posing as the Building Dan Heaven Tribulation.


    With Yin Qingmei¡¯s current genuine Core Formation strength supporting, Biyu Wutong had nearly a nine out of ten chance of overcoming the tribulation, especially since Chen Mobai had lent her the Haotian Mirror.


    In the future, whether Biyu Wutong advanced a level or Yin Qingmei reached ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± her Building Dan Heaven Tribulation would be used again.


    In any case, they¡¯d continue this cycle until their Five Elements Sect possessed the power to subdue the entire East Continent and even the Tianhe Realm, whereupon the technique of One-Leaf Blindness would no longer need to be concealed.


    Yin Qingmei had pretty much recovered with the help of her Destiny Spirit Plant, but she was also very curious about the Spiritual Wine brewed from Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit.


    So, when she took a drink, a blush seemed to suffuse her pale cheeks, and her drunken demeanor was even more pronounced than Luo Yixuan¡¯s and Zhuo Ming¡¯s.


    She originally planned to rest for half a day, but she ended up sobering up only the next day.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected Yin Qingmei¡¯s body to be so sensitive to Spiritual Wine.


    Luckily, it hadn¡¯t interfered with important matters.


    Above Liu Jia Mountain,


    Amidst the rumbling sounds, the momentum of the Heavenly Tribulation reappeared.


    Some nearby Loose Cultivators who hadn¡¯t yet relocated, upon seeing this scene and recalling legends of Core Formation Tribulation, couldn¡¯t help but long to be in that position.


    If only they were the ones undergoing the tribulation.


    At the foot of Liu Jia Mountain, Yan Yuanhao and the disciples of the Five Elements Sect were extremely tense. They deployed the Alpha Wood Soldiers, fearing that a heedless cultivator might disturb them.


    But the renown of the Five Elements Sect was enough to subdue any cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Suddenly, the sky darkened, the clouds looming ominously.


    Chilling golden winds like fierce sword lights sliced down from the black-clouded heavens filled with Heavenly Firmament Atmosphere.


    The Golden Wind Tribulation, commonly seen during the level-up of Spirit Wood or Core Formation with Wood Attribute Techniques, manifested above Liu Jia Mountain.


    Like icy winds bearing blinding golden light, they slashed across the bark of Biyu Wutong, leaving marks that quickly healed as flashes of green Spiritual Light flickered and neutralized the golden brightness.


    However, under the relentless assault of the Golden Wind¡¯s chilling gale, leaves and some tender branches of Biyu Wutong were chopped off one by one.


    Seeing this, Yin Qingmei, seated beneath Biyu Wutong, immediately closed her eyes and began circulating the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture, using her own Spiritual Power to replenish her Destiny Spirit Plant.


    Quickly, the radiant Spiritual Light of Biyu Wutong flourished, keeping the Golden Wind Tribulation at bay from the trunk.


    A day and a night passed.


    The Golden Wind Tribulation began to subside, but arcs of bright lightning audibly flickered and struck towards the peak of Liu Jia Mountain.


    One, two, three¡­


    After three strikes, Biyu Wutong seemed unable to withstand any more. Yin Qingmei, feeling her Spiritual Power greatly depleted, looked towards Chen Mobai not far off and received his nod.


    Soon, Yin Qingmei held the Haotian Mirror in her hands. Her graceful, fairy-like figure crossed over Biyu Wutong and soared up to meet the lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Boom, boom!


    The fourth brilliant lightning strike descended but was effortlessly blocked by the Haotian Mirror. The mirror even seemed to purify its impurities by harnessing the power of the tribulation thunder. As successive bolts fell, it became increasingly radiant.


    A sun lit up in the sky!

    To Yan Yuanhao and others at the foot of the mountain, it seemed as though a fairy holding up the sun had dispelled the dark clouds and scattered the lightning.


    As the sun ascended, the biting cold wind vanished, replaced by a warm and soothing soft glow that bathed the earth.


    Had the Heavenly Tribulation passed?


    Seeing this scene, that thought emerged in the minds of those at the foot of the mountain.


    In a moment, the joy of having another Golden Core Cultivator in the sect invigorated their spirits!

 Chapter 1337 - Chapter 1337 Chapter 734 Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k)

    Chapter 1337: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k) Chapter 1337: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k) On the summit of Liu Jia Mountain, Yin Qingmei activated the Haotian Mirror to shatter the Heavenly Tribulation, signifying that the Biyu Wutong had crossed the tribulation.


    Then, Chen Mobai saw the spiritual energy of nature that had formed the tribulation mostly dissipate between heaven and earth, while the most refined part surged towards the Biyu Wutong at the mountain¡¯s peak.


    Where the branches of this spirit plant had been struck by the tribulation and broken, a dense and pure light immediately coiled around the wounds, gradually sprouting new growth with a vivacious flourish.


    ¡°So, there are such benefits after transcending the tribulation.¡±


    Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself, but he didn¡¯t know if this was unique to spirit plants or also applicable when cultivators transcended the tribulation?


    It seemed he needed to observe again when someone within the sect faced a tribulation next time.


    He then recalled his own Core Formation tribulation, which seemed to have been entirely devoured by the Purple Electric Sword?


    Chen Mobai made a mental note of this matter and, seeing Yin Qingmei still in midair, immediately sent her a message asking her to descend and perform the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture in tandem with the Biyu Wutong to share the refined spiritual energy of the tribulation.


    Yin Qingmei hurriedly flew down after hearing this.


    Chen Mobai immediately took her place, controlling the Haotian Mirror from afar, capturing the spiritual energy that was about to dissipate, and then with a powerful Divine Sense, slowly refined all of it into the Haotian Mirror.


    Since its creation, his lifespaan Artifact had mostly been in the hands of Yin Qingmei, casting its light over the spirit plants and condensing Purple Qi.


    Three years prior, thanks to the endless Solar Essence here, and the profound mystery of the Haotian Mirror, a complete strand had already been condensed.


    Chen Mobai planned to use it for his breakthrough to the Golden Core Seventh Layer, because his ascent from the Golden Core Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer, and the fullness of Pure Yang Spiritual Power at the Sixth Layer, had all been enhanced by consuming Immortal Peach Fruits, which was not very foundational. If he tried to cause a breakthrough on his own, the success rate wouldn¡¯t be very high.


    Resources should be used at critical points, which was the most profound understanding Chen Mobai had reached over the years.


    It took nearly thirty years to accumulate this strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, and if it could help him break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer, it would be a perfect utilization.


    Three days later, the Haotian Mirror had absorbed and refined all the spiritual energy of the tribulation, and the originally bright and brilliant mirror surface began to withdraw its radiance.


    As if a great sun had turned into a moon in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, and the Haotian Mirror immediately flew down from the sky, floating in front of him.


    Gently touching the mirror surface with the palm of his right hand, Chen Mobai sensed the power of his lifespaan Artifact.


    After a while, he withdrew his hand, both pleased and regretful.


    Following the tempering by the tribulation, the Haotian Mirror had become a Third Rank Peak Magic Artifact.


    It was just unfortunate that the mirror¡¯s original form was the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror of the Immortal Gate, made with only Rank-3 materials and even some corner pieces from Rank-2, showcasing the Immortal Gate¡¯s frugal style of being just enough.


    It was still thanks to Chen Mobai, who during the creation of the Haotian Mirror, used Everlife Wood of Rank-4 to craft the mirror frame and forcefully elevated it to Third Rank Peak.


    That is to say, the lifespan Artifact had now reached its limit.


    Next, if he wanted to upgrade it further, he could only slowly nourish it with spiritual power over many years to cultivate an Artifact Spirit.


    Or use higher-grade materials and a profound refinement technique to replace the low-level materials of the original mirror surface.


    Chen Mobai wanted to try both methods.


    However, because the Haotian Mirror was to be wielded by Yin Qingmei to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, Chen Mobai thought, perhaps this foster daughter could help with the nurturing process.


    After all, he was so busy, with not enough time for cultivation and handling various state affairs.


    The second method, however, required at least a Fourth-order Refiner to step in.


    Not the insubstantial kind from the Tianhe Realm, but the real deal from the Immortal Gate.


    That was not a difficult task for Chen Mobai.


    Because the school he graduated from, Dance Tool Dao Academy, was the cradle of all Artifact Refining in the Immortal Gate.


    Master Chengxuan, a Fifth-order Refiner, was his principal, and the previous head of the Refining Implement Department was also his nominal teacher.


    There was just one problem, which was that he had discussed the Haotian Mirror with Hong Mengkui before, and now Chen Mobai needed to find a way, an Immortal Gate jargon and excuse, to explain why his lifespan Artifact had suddenly upgraded to Third Rank Peak.


    Fortunately, he had considered this point from the beginning, making two mirror frames.


    Besides the Rank-4 Everlife Wood, there was also the Rank-3 Spirit Wood from Yu Wood City.


    But if he genuinely wished for Hong Mengkui¡¯s help in upgrading the Haotian Mirror, he would need to prepare Rank-4 materials, which could only come from a clear origin within the Immortal Gate.


    Because inside the Immortal Gate, every Rank-4 item was accounted for, with a specific place for each.


    You can¡¯t just open another Void Blind Box, can you?


    While Chen Mobai was pondering this, Yin Qingmei had already opened her beautiful eyes atop the mountain, her entire being shining with a radiant, fair complexion, appearing spirited and vigorous.

    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Sect Leader.¡±


    After concluding her cultivation, Yin Qingmei immediately flew in front of Chen Mobai and thanked him with a slight bow.


    After absorbing the purely refined spiritual energy of the tribulation together with her Destiny Spirit Plant, her Golden Core had thoroughly stabilized, even subtly increasing in size.


    ¡°Cultivate well, and when the time is right, I will hold a grand Core Formation ceremony for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with Yin Qingmei; after all, even during the peak times of the Ancient Longevity Sect, the numbers of those who could practice the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture were scarce, possibly emerging once every several generations.

 Chapter 1338 - Chapter 1338 Chapter 734 Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k)_2

    Chapter 1338: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k)_2 Chapter 1338: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spirituality (7k)_2 If she had not practiced this Divine Transformation Technique, Chen Mobai would have only been able to watch the many Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and been unable to cultivate them.


    ¡°The fact that this disciple has successfully formed her core is established, whether we hold the Core Formation ceremony or not isn¡¯t important.¡±


    Yin Qingmei felt that Chen Mobai might be waiting for Luo Yixuan to form her core, to confirm her status as the foremost of the fourth generation in the Five Elements Sect before holding a makeup ceremony for her. Thus, she spoke up dutifully, not wishing to make things difficult for Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan at the side slightly furrowed her brows. Being cute was her forte, and she could easily see through the current demeanor of Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this when the time comes. By the way, Qingmei, now that you¡¯ve formed your core, you can refine your Lifebound Magic Artefact. Do you have any ideas?¡±


    Chen Mobai purely felt that it was not the right time to hold a ceremony given the unresolved issues between Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, and the Eastern Wilderness not yet being completely united. However, he thought if he was going to refine a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo for Luo Yixuan, he could also refine one for Yin Qingmei if she needed it.


    Now that Yin Qingmei has formed her core, nurturing a Rank-2 embryo into Rank-3 would waste some cultivation time.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s role for her was never that of a combatant.


    ¡°The Sect Leader may decide as he pleases, but if I could choose, I would like a Flying Sword!¡±


    Yin Qingmei¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod in approval, after which he turned to Luo Yixuan beside him.


    ¡°Master, I would also like a Flying Sword!¡±


    Luo Yixuan said this as she stared at Yin Qingmei.


    ¡°Both of you want Flying Swords?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected this but it wasn¡¯t impossible either; it was just that he always promoted diversification.


    ¡°Master, as your direct disciple, I naturally aspire to follow in the path of your Flying Sword!¡±


    Luo Yixuan was the first to speak, sharing her thoughts.


    ¡°The Sect Leader¡¯s prestigiously used a sword to suppress the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, I¡¯ve admired it since my Foundation Establishment, hence I see your Supreme Sword Path as my goal.¡±


    Although Yin Qingmei¡¯s words were different, the underlying sentiment was almost the same as Luo Yixuan¡¯s.


    [So they both admire my Sword Path!]


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile, and he thought of the three stalks of Yin Void Bamboo he had acquired from the Ruins, nodding in agreement.


    ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll let you know when I¡¯ve refined the Sword Artifact Embryo.¡±


    Zhuo Ming felt envious upon hearing this.


    However, her All-things Altruistic Cauldron was already enough for her to work on for a lifetime, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan on giving her a second Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo to avoid adding to her burdens.


    ¡°Qingmei, this Haotian Mirror has grown much more powerful after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, so take it and use it as your own Magic Artifact for now. Later, I¡¯ll teach you a mantra for nurturing Magic Artifacts; if you can cultivate an Artifact Spirit from it, you can treat my Lifespan Artifact as your own Lifebound Magic Artifact.¡±


    At the fall of Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yin Qingmei¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and she joyfully extended her hand to receive the Haotian Mirror.


    This Rank-3 Magic Artifact had been with her for twenty years and she was already familiar with it. In the two decades she had spent condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi, she felt that the Magic Artifact was like a part of her, with her Essence, Qi, and Spirit resonating with it.


    That¡¯s why she could easily harness the power of the Haotian Mirror, scattering the Heavenly Tribulation with the strength of someone who had just formed their core.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions for her to nurture the Magic Artifact made Yin Qingmei all the more elated.


    She felt valued by the Sect Leader; after all, even Luo Yixuan, his own disciple, hadn¡¯t been given a third-grade Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader, I will not let you down.¡±


    Fifth Rank Magic Artifacts have a spirituality that is no less formidable than that of Nascent Soul Cultivators. It is for this reason that before reaching Rank-5, the Immortal Gate would start nurturing the spirituality of Magic Artifacts, with the Purple Electric Sword serving as a prime example.


    The spirituality of the Purple Electric Sword, a Fourth Grade Superior quality Artifact, is akin to a child.


    Once it upgrades to a Fifth Rank Sword, its spirituality will be like that of a teenager.


    The Tianhe Realm is slightly behind in this aspect, where most are using materials to refine Fifth-Rank Magic Artifacts, but these materials inherently have powerful spiritual traits. Thus, if the refinement succeeds, the cultivator can easily develop spirituality in the Artifact after nurturing it for a while.


    On the Immortal Gate side, due to the scarcity of such materials, they usually nurtured spirituality first and then allowed the Artifact Spirit to lead the transformation.


    Chen Mobai imparted to Yin Qingmei the methods and key points for nurturing the spirituality of a Magic Artifact; this knowledge, which was quite basic in the Immortal Gate, wasn¡¯t covered by proprietary laws, so teaching it to her didn¡¯t violate his Daoist Heart Oath.


    That¡¯s because many cultivators on the Immortal Gate side would try time-consuming things when they saw no hope in advancing their cultivation.


    Like nurturing an Artifact Spirit.


    There was once a Foundation Establishment Practitioner who nurtured spirituality in his Rank-2 Flying Sword, but due to material limitations, the Flying Sword cracked the moment it developed spirituality, as it could not sustain it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Rank-3 materials can generally withstand the spirituality of a Magic Artifact.


    Especially since the Haotian Mirror also had Grade-4 Everlife Wood for its frame, Chen Mobai was even less worried.


    ¡°You can work on this in your spare time¨Cdo not spend too much time on it, as your own cultivation should come first.¡±


    Chen Mobai worried that Yin Qingmei might take his instructions as a task, so after handing her the Haotian Mirror, he emphasized his point.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±

 Chapter 1339 - Chapter 1339 Chapter 734 Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature

    Chapter 1339: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature (7k)_3 Chapter 1339: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature (7k)_3 Since the Haotian Mirror was still tasked with uniformly illuminating the Dari Purple Rice, Chen Mobai also gave Zhuo Ming a couple of instructions.


    After all, the upgrade in grade of the Haotian Mirror might cause its regular illuminating radiance to become even more intense, so he warned her to be cautious the next time they tried it.


    Of course, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget to extract the Pure Yang Purple Qi that was stored inside, approximately one-sixth of a strand.


    With the increase in power of the Haotian Mirror, the progress of condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi should also accelerate somewhat.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s recent trials, it might be possible to condense a complete strand in about fifteen years.


    This pleased him greatly.


    Because the Yuanyang View of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains¡¯ Fourth Rank Superior Pure Yang Treasure Realm could only condense a complete strand every ten years.


    This was also because the Pure Yang Treasure Realm didn¡¯t have a cultivator¡¯s guidance, functioning independently, and moreover, the Immortal Gate was covered by the Heavenly Curtain, limiting the Solar Essence that fell upon the Yuanyang View.


    Unlike here, as long as his appetite was large enough, the entirety of the sun and moon¡¯s essence in the Eastern Wilderness belonged to Chen Mobai.


    It was just a pity that he didn¡¯t have the time to condense it.


    Chen Mobai stayed three more days on Liu Jia Mountain; he gave some of the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice and Fire Crystal Rice he had acquired to Zhuo Ming¨Cthese two types of Spirit Rice could help her swiftly refine the Nirvana Dan and elevate her Ninefold Law Body to Rank-3.


    That day, after confirming that Yin Qingmei had mastered the method of nurturing spirits within magic artifacts, Chen Mobai left contentedly with Luo Yixuan.


    Of course, before leaving, he had not forgotten to inform Yan Yuanhao at the foot of the mountain.


    Upon learning from Chen Mobai of Yin Qingmei¡¯s successful Core Formation and her overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation while stabilizing her realm, he was extremely thrilled.


    Because this signified that the Golden Liquid Jade Pill was indeed as described, a precious Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine beyond compare.


    Though for Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, succeeding in Core Formation was to be expected.


    But she had just formed her core and was able to crush the Heavenly Tribulation, indicating she had energy to spare during Core Formation, which could only mean it was the effect of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    The Foundation Establishment practitioners within the Five Elements Sect, upon hearing this successful news, felt an empathetic sense of vicarious satisfaction, hoping to also obtain a Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    This naturally included King Zhou Shen.


    He was practicing diligently in Xiao County, hoping to reach Foundation Establishment Completion as soon as possible. At the same time, he was silently cultivating his influence, often undertaking missions from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to accumulate contributions, striving at the next Sect-supplied offering to acquire a Golden Liquid Jade Pill, so as not to miss out like Zheng Deming and Luo Xue¡¯er did this time.


    After receiving the message from Chen Mobai, Zhou Wangshen didn¡¯t dare delay for an instant, even abandoning a nearly completed mission from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    By the time Chen Mobai returned to Northern Abyss City, Zhou Wangshen had already been waiting there for seven days.


    This was mainly because when Chen Mobai left Liu Jia Mountain, he had taken Luo Yixuan to visit Cold Jade Lake and after their stroll, they also inspected the development progress of Dark Water.


    Previously, due to overseeing Yin Qingmei¡¯s Core Formation, the work had been paused for a while.


    Now that Luo Yixuan had returned, she could once again lead the Sect cultivators and external laborers to rush the work, avoiding a situation where the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of Cold Jade Lake was upgraded successfully while Dark Water had not.


    ¡°Apologies for making Zhou Shizhi wait.¡±


    After returning, Chen Mobai immediately met with Zhou Wangshen in the main hall, speaking to him in a warm tone. Zhou Wangshen, a bit overwhelmed by the kindness, bowed respectfully, saying it was proper for him to wait for the Sect Leader.


    ¡°This time I¡¯ve asked you to come¡­¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to speak about the Five Elements Essence, he suddenly sensed someone waiting at the entrance. With a move of his Divine Sense, he knew it was E Yun and immediately had Gu Yan bring him in.


    If E Yun was coming over without notice when Chen Mobai was busy, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be a trivial matter.


    ¡°Sect Leader, this was hurried over from the East Barbarians.¡±


    True to that, upon entering, E Yun handed over an envelope with a grave expression.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the cover and saw it was from the Sky Meal Building, immediately realizing the matter at hand.


    Although Shen Shanqing had taken Liu Wenbo off to the Dongwu side, he had instructed the Shopkeeper of Sky Meal Building in advance that if any message was sent over from the Dongyi¡¯s Golden Crow Immortal City branch, it should be forwarded to the Five Elements Sect immediately.


    Upon receiving it, E Yun didn¡¯t dare delay at all.


    ¡°Here it is¡­¡±


    Upon seeing the message from Sky Meal Building, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    Facing the pressure from a Nascent Soul Superior, a fighting spirit naturally arose within him, curious to see if with the current strength of the Five Elements Sect, they could arm-wrestle with a Nascent Soul.


    After reading it, he folded the Sky Meal Building letter, placing it back inside.


    ¡°Have Qi Rui travel day and night to get this to Nu Jiang True Person at Wind Rain Hamlet.¡±


    Chen Mobai had a Message Talisman from Zhou Shengqing, but such talismans also needed to fly; short distances were not an issue, but over longer distances, they could fail to be delivered or become intercepted.


    For this reason, large Sects maintained their special message delivery systems to ensure the messages reached their intended recipients.


    Among them, the talismans from Holy Lands were instantly recognizable, untouchable by most, and they were the fastest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Five Elements Sect¡¯s talismans were somewhat average, thus Chen Mobai tasked Qi Rui with the errand.


    From Northern Abyss City to Wind Rain Hamlet, it would just take a series of over a dozen Teleportation Array transitions; Qi Rui, despite some hardship, could arrive within half an hour.


    Upon reading this letter, Nu Jiang would naturally forward it to Zhou Shengqing.


    Only a Nascent Soul could wrestle with another Nascent Soul.


    While it was still uncertain if the Jiutian Dangmo Sect would come and when they would arrive, Chen Mobai needed Zhou Shengqing to come and fortify their position.

 Chapter 1340 - Chapter 1340 Chapter 734 Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature

    Chapter 1340: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature (7k)_4 Chapter 1340: Chapter 734: Magic Artifact Spiritual Nature (7k)_4 After notifying Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai wrote three more letters, sending them to Fu Zongjue, Mo Douguang, and Sheng Zhaoxi.


    He just didn¡¯t know if Mo Douguang had left seclusion.


    But he notified all the forces he could assemble, one by one.


    Moreover, regarding Meng Hong, who was in seclusion at Giant Tree Ridge, he also asked Fu Zongjue to bring him along.


    As for Luo Xue¡¯er, it was better to have her stay at Wind Rain Hamlet. After all, if Zhou Shengqing left, with only Nu Jiang there, Chen Mobai feared they wouldn¡¯t withstand a sudden tide of demonic beasts.


    Yin Qingmei and Luo Yixuan, though the former had just achieved Core Formation, at this time, were also a force to reckon with.


    E Yun took a bunch of letters and hurried down to distribute them.


    Zhou Wangshen watched from the side with a puzzled face, but since Chen Mobai didn¡¯t speak, he didn¡¯t ask, just standing there like a statue.


    ¡°Zhou Shizhi, have you encountered any difficulties in your recent cultivation?¡±


    After dealing with the military mobilization, Chen Mobai sat down with his usual calm expression and asked Zhou Wangshen kindly.


    ¡°Reporting to Sect Leader, disciple¡¯s progress on the Longevity Scripture and the Longevity Dao Body has slowed down considerably¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai had initiated the conversation, Zhou Shengqing naturally would not miss this rare opportunity to seek advice and promptly shared all the doubts he had accumulated in his cultivation.


    Among them, the slowing of the Longevity Scripture is normal; this cultivation technique is like this, easy to learn but hard to master. It gets slower as one progresses, and its combat ability is not strong. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that breaking through each major realm could extend one¡¯s lifespan by sixty years, Ancestor Hunyuan would not have made it the primary cultivation technique for the Wood Vein.


    It can only be said to cover a multitude of sins.


    Chen Mobai used a Formless Puppet to help Zhou Wangshen deduce the process of his cultivation up to Foundation Establishment Completion, answering all his doubts about cultivation.


    ¡°For the Longevity Dao Body, the cultivation of the second level requires Longevity Dew, but since you have only completed the first level, the potency of the Longevity Dew is a bit too strong for you. You can dilute one drop of Longevity Dew with ten drops of Longevity Tree Sap, refining it every month¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he nodded toward Gu Yan, who immediately took out a Jade Vial from her sleeve.


    ¡°This is the Longevity Dew left over from when I previously cultivated the Longevity Dao Body. There should still be dozens of drops left. Take it, Zhou Shizhi.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai reached the third rank Perfection of the Longevity Dao Body, he had all the accumulated Longevity Tree Sap that Gu Yan had extracted listed for sale at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to avoid wasting resources.


    Moreover, with the opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, many Foundation Establishment Practitioners had also obtained Longevity Tree Sap, so the Five Elements Sect currently still treasured Longevity Tree Sap, but it was no longer a case of being unable to buy it even with Spirit Stones.


    Zhou Wangshen was the Foundation Establishment Practitioner who bought the most Longevity Tree Sap. Relying on sufficient resources and diligent cultivation over the years, he barely managed to cultivate to the Second Order High Grade of the Body Refining Realm.


    But at this step, he felt he had reached his limit.


    That¡¯s because the next step would be the third rank of the Body Refining, a realm only achievable at Core Formation.


    He had already given up hope, but today, Chen Mobai had given him a secret technique to cultivate the second level of the Longevity Dao Body at the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Many thanks to Sect Leader for bestowing such a divine dew.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen thanked him excitedly. He knew that Chen Mobai was a man of his word; since it was gifted to him, there was no need to refuse any further.


    ¡°Remember never to exceed your body¡¯s limits in absorbing the Longevity Dew. I will also impart to you a Precious Fire Body Forging Technique¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was imparting it, he would certainly not teach only half of it. He hoped that Zhou Wangshen could, like Zhuo Ming, cultivate to the third rank of Body Forging before Core Formation, which would greatly raise the hopes of achieving Core Formation with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader. Disciple will definitely not teach it to others.¡±


    After receiving the secret technique, Zhou Wangshen habitually made a Daoist Heart Oath, and Chen Mobai let him.


    ¡°Zhou Shizhi, I have a very important task at hand, and after considering all the Foundation Establishment practitioners within our sect, I¡¯ve concluded that you are the most suitable,¡±


    Chen Mobai finished speaking, and Zhou Wangshen immediately nodded solemnly, indicating that as long as the Sect Leader commanded, he was willing to go through fire and water without hesitation.


    ¡°This involves the technique of the Five Elements Essence. It¡¯s crucial to my cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai explained the matter to Zhou Wangshen. Because the technique of the Five Elements Essence could significantly increase the cultivation progress of Primordial True Qi, it was best to attempt it covertly¨Cat the very least, it should not be disclosed to the world.


    After all, although the Five Elements Sect had already subdued the Eastern Wilderness, over in the East Land, there was still the First Origin Dao Palace, a holy land.


    Once they learned of the technique of the Five Elements Essence, they surely wouldn¡¯t sit still.


    ¡°The Sect Leader trusts me so much; your disciple will certainly not let you down.¡±


    Upon hearing that it was a secret technique related to the Primordial Dao Fruit, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s face showed shock, feeling that Chen Mobai truly saw him as a confidant to be cultivated, and his heart was deeply excited.


    If he was similarly a confidant of the Sect Leader, then when it came time to compete for the next generation Sect Leader, he felt he might have a chance to surpass E Yun.


    ¡°I need an immense amount of Five Elements Essence for my cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit, but this matter should best remain hidden and not widely known; these two requirements are quite contradictory, so it will be a hard task for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Zhou Wangshen, who had already thought of a good solution and took the initiative to suggest,


    ¡°Sect Leader, among the five veins of our Five Elements Sect, there are many former True Disciples who have failed at Foundation Establishment. They have all reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, and their prospects have been cut off. I think we can summon this group of people in the name of the sect and then select a hidden place to teach them the technique of the Five Elements Essence.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen¡¯s words struck Chen Mobai as very sensible. Condensing the Five Elements Essence could delay cultivation, so the cultivators who were on the rise generally wouldn¡¯t be willing.


    But it was different for these former True Disciples who had failed at Foundation Establishment.


    They were perfect!


    If they were also given hope for Foundation Establishment, they might all be highly motivated.


    Moreover, controlling these cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians was relatively easy. With a Daoist Heart Oath given, it was basically ensured that the matter of the Five Elements Essence wouldn¡¯t be leaked.


    Giving them Foundation Building Pills would be somewhat wasteful.


    Furthermore, there was bound to be a considerable number of cultivators condensing the Five Elements Essence; to achieve fairness and have periodic motivation and goals, Chen Mobai thought of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Foundation Establishment Trithings.


    ¡°I leave this matter in your hands; after its completion, the next time the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine is refined successfully, as long as your contribution is sufficient, I guarantee that one pill will be yours.¡±


    The more he thought about it, the more Chen Mobai felt Zhou Wangshen¡¯s idea was right, so he immediately started to entice him with a grand promise.


    ¡°The Sect Leader¡¯s kindness to me is heavier than mountains; I will surely not let you down with this matter.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhou Wangshen was indeed filled with motivation.


    Chen Mobai had Gu Yan bring out writing materials, and then he personally wrote a letter granting Zhou Wangshen the authority to select former True Disciple practitioners from among the Five Elements Meridians to complete a significant task.


    To motivate these former True Disciples, Chen Mobai directly allowed Zhou Wangshen to take an advance from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for five legitimate Foundation Building Pills.

    After all, to reproduce the Immortal Gate¡¯s Foundation Establishment Trithings here, it was necessary to continually test various herbs over time.


    ¡°Sect Leader, the technique of the Five Elements Essence is a matter of great importance. I need to concentrate fully on this, so I fear I will be unable to manage both this and my position as Xiao County Town Guard.¡±


    With that said by Zhou Wangshen, Chen Mobai felt even more satisfied, believing he had not chosen the wrong person, and went along with him by asking, ¡°Do you have a suitable successor in mind?¡±


    ¡°Wu Zeyang and Zhou Bingyan are both good choices. They have both been under me for years and are familiar with the major families of Xiao County.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go with Zhou Bingyan as the successor,¡±

 Chapter 1341 - Chapter 1341 Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)

    Chapter 1341: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k) Chapter 1341: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k) The reason for choosing Zhou Bingyan was mainly because Chen Mobai knew her a little better, in addition to her being part of the Zhou family.


    In order to construct Xiao County, the Zhou family had invested a lot over the years. Now, King Zhou had to resign his position as the town guard of Xiao County because of the matter concerning the Five Elements Essence, and Chen Mobai, wanting to ease his mind, naturally needed to promote someone from the Zhou family to take over.


    Half a day later, Zhou Shengqing also arrived in Northern Abyss City.


    After Chen Mobai discussed this matter with him, he agreed as well.


    Though the Zhou family, as his blood descendants, had many Foundation Establishment cultivators, there was only one Core Formation cultivator-King Zhou was the most likely candidate. Resigning from the town guard position might even turn out to be a good thing.


    ¡°Brother, do you want to meet King Zhou? The day after tomorrow, he will lead my orders and select disciples from the Five Elements Meridians.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked this because he was just a step away from the Golden Core Seventh Layer. After the breakthrough, he could start preparing the resources for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Among these resources, the Primordial Dao Fruit was of utmost importance. Thus, once King Zhou suggested a good solution, Chen Mobai quickly agreed to let him begin as soon as possible.


    ¡°If he knows I¡¯ve achieved ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯, his fighting spirit will no longer be as intense. These years, he has carried the Zhou family on his shoulders and striven tirelessly. Perhaps this is the key to his Core Formation in the future. Let¡¯s continue to temper him for a bit longer.¡±


    Upon hearing what Zhou Shengqing said, Chen Mobai went along with his decision.


    Although King Zhou¡¯s talent was considered quite good, the success of Core Formation still relied on luck. If he could develop the Second Level of the Longevity Dao Body as planned and coupled with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s tempering, the hopes for Core Formation would actually increase greatly.


    ¡°This Northern Abyss City only has a Rank-3 Large Formation. If we fought with Bing Yun Hermit here, I fear that this Immortal City would be destroyed.¡±


    After finishing their talk about King Zhou, the two started discussing the greatest threat this time.


    ¡°Then continue to block her at the ruins. Junior Brother, how many people did you call?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing thought of the battlefield originally set up to deal with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace¡¯s army. If rearranged, it could still be used.


    ¡°I¡¯ve called all the Golden Core cultivators within our sect. Xuan¡¯s abilities shouldn¡¯t be disclosed to outsiders, so she¡¯ll just sit tight in Northern Abyss City when the time comes.¡±


    Aside from Zhou Shengqing, who was a Legal Body Nascent Soul, the Five Elements Sect included six Golden Core Cultivators: Chen Mobai, Fu Zongjue, Yin Qingmei, Meng Hong, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Mo Douguang.


    ¡°Junior Brother Mo should still be in seclusion and might not be able to come.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, however, brought some rather unwelcome news. But Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t upset; after all, facing Bing Yun Hermit, the main goal was to negotiate and turn hostility into peace.


    If they really couldn¡¯t negotiate, then they would fight.


    Zhou Shengqing was a key force, and besides him, there were also the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, the trump card of the Five Elements Sect.


    By now, Chen Mobai was quite familiar with this war formation. Although they couldn¡¯t form ten thousand cultivators formation yet, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers combined could still match the power of ten thousand cultivators.


    Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing decided that the latter would negotiate with Bing Yun Hermit first, and if they couldn¡¯t reach an agreement, Chen Mobai would then deploy the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.


    Since he had cultivated the Primordial True Qi, he could absorb the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers into his body, and he estimated he could be considered half a Nascent Soul Cultivator by then.


    It was also a good opportunity for him to experience the Perfection of Primordial True Qi.


    As the two were discussing, Fu Zongjue also arrived.


    After confirming all the details, they didn¡¯t waste any time. Zhou Shengqing went to the ruins to see if he could have a rational negotiation with Bing Yun Hermit on the way.


    Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue began to mobilize troops and commanders, drawing the elite cultivators from the Five Elements Meridians to the Eastern Desolation Plateau to prepare for the large-scale practice of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.


    Since they had previously entered the ruins with Ye Qing and the others, the core foundation of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers this time was based on that previous group.


    Before long, Foundation Establishment Qi Practitioners from the Five Elements Meridians began to gather continuously toward Northern Abyss City.


    However, due to the large numbers, gathering them required some time.


    And since Chen Mobai didn¡¯t directly control the other Four Veins, even after emphasizing the seriousness of the matter, they couldn¡¯t respond as swiftly as the Wood Vein did.


    Since most of the Wood Vein cultivators were already on the Eastern Desolation Plateau, within a single day of Chen Mobai issuing the order, three thousand cultivators had already been mobilized.


    Among them, there were fifty Foundation Establishment practitioners.


    Fu Zongjue first took this group of people to the battlefield at the ruins.


    Chen Mobai stayed behind, waiting for the arrival of the cultivators from the other four veins.


    The Metal Vein was the second to arrive, and to Chen Mobai¡¯s surprise, Mo Douguang had also come.


    ¡°Brother Mo, has your cultivation level broken through?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t use the Art of Spiritual Eyes to check but asked with genuine delight.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a line away, but the realm is established. The rest is just about accumulating Spiritual Power, and fulfillment is only a matter of time.¡±

    Mo Douguang shook his head, not hiding his current situation.


    Under other circumstances, he would definitely be in seclusion at Jinguang Cliff until he achieved Perfect Core Formation before coming out. But since a Nascent Soul was invading, he had to come over to support no matter what.


    ¡°Brother Mo, your generosity is boundless!¡±


    Chen Mobai said, thanking Mo Douguang with a serious expression on his face.


    With Mo Douguang¡¯s support, practicing the Five Elements Dao Soldiers battle formation would be more powerful, and Chen Mobai felt even more confident about facing Bing Yun Hermit.

 Chapter 1342 - Chapter 1342 Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_2

    Chapter 1342: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_2 Chapter 1342: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_2 After the Metal Vein, the might of the Water Vein Cultivators also arrived.


    However, due to Wind Rain Hamlet also resisting the onslaught of demonic beasts, the manpower that came was not much¨Conly a thousand cultivators.


    Chen Mobai expressed his understanding of this.


    In fact, he even had the Wood Vein cultivators, who were to be mobilized next, provide support to Wind Rain Hamlet under E Yun¡¯s leadership.


    Following the Water Vein, were the Fire Vein and Earth Vein, which were the farthest away.


    Zhou Ye still had not shown up, Sheng Zhaoxi, having heard about the severity of the situation, personally led a team over.


    ¡°Xuan, I¡¯ll leave Northern Abyss City in your hands.¡±


    After leaving Luo Yixuan behind, Chen Mobai immediately led the cultivator armies of the other four veins towards the ruins.


    The sight of dozens of Flying Boats soaring up into the sky caused the colors of the Loose Cultivators in Northern Abyss City to dramatically change.


    The last time such a disturbance occurred was when they annihilated the Nanxuan sect, preparing to battle with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Could it be that a Nascent Soul Major Faction from the Eastern Wilderness was about to attack?


    With such doubts,


    Chen Mobai had already led the cultivator army to the ruins; Fu Zongjue and Meng Hong, leading the Wood Vein Cultivators, had already set up camp there, mobilizing Spirit Veins.


    Though the number of cultivators in the Five Elements Meridians was unequal, Chen Mobai, who possessed Primordial True Qi, could mediate from the center.


    The method was similar to those who cultivated all Five Elements together, which was precisely what convinced Chen Mobai that True Lord Yuan must have obtained the inheritance of the Longevity Sect to have created the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Different from before, when in the ruins controlling the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, this time, because there were Golden Core Cultivators leading the formations, the Dao Soldiers¡¯ power was unimaginably strong. Chen Mobai found it extremely exhausting to control them fully.


    Additionally, with no Golden Core Cultivators leading formations in the Water and Earth Veins, the difficulty increased even further.


    But with the help of Fu Zongjue, Mo Douguang, and Sheng Zhaoxi adjusting, he barely managed to absorb the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers into his body.


    Above the ruins, Chen Mobai stood in the center, as the five giant Dao Soldiers transformed into a torrential flood, surging into the External Incarnation that emerged behind him.


    Under the torrential essence of the Five Elements, the External Incarnation instantly revealed a complete, gigantic human skeleton. Then, with Spiritual Light mingling around the organs and spreading throughout the body, a cloak of Five-Colored Light materialized all over, and with a clench of its right hand, a Five-Colored Light Sword condensed into form.


    Chen Mobai, using his External Incarnation to stimulate Primordial True Qi and absorb the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, achieved unexpectedly good results.


    A heavenly godly shadow, flickering with five-colored lights, now stood tall in the sky above the ruins, like a giant overlooking the vastness below.


    After absorbing the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, Chen Mobai felt the strength of his External Incarnation had reached the realm of the Nascent Soul.


    However, he certainly wouldn¡¯t be a match if it came down to a face-to-face battle with a Nascent Soul.


    For his power was derived from the cultivators of the Five Elements Veins below, he estimated that at most he could only unleash a few moves before needing to re-gather and dissipate.


    He hoped that if it really came down to a fight, he could coordinate with Zhou Shengqing and pose enough of a threat to Bing Yun Hermit.


    While Chen Mobai was pondering this, he took out the Purple Electric Sword.


    As the right hand of the External Incarnation already held a light sword condensed by the Five Elements Sword Sha, it grasped the sword with the left hand.


    ¡°Master, I feel you can barely satisfy me now.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword conveyed such a notion.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    With the Purple Electric Sword being a fourth-grade superior sword artifact, accompanying him, indeed, was somewhat an embarrassment.


    ¡°This opponent seems quite formidable, and you will need to give it your all when the time comes. Could you gauge how many swords I might be able to strike with you in the External Incarnation¡¯s hand?¡± Chen Mobai began to mobilize the Purple Electric Sword, which after contemplating momentarily, gave an uncertain answer.


    ¡°Ordinary Rank-4 Sword Light, I could strike out thirty; but if I must exert my full power, I could barely slash out one at the fourth stage pinnacle!¡±


    Once Chen Mobai heard this, he finally understood what the Purple Electric Sword meant by just barely being satisfied.


    It turned out the sword had simply been accommodating him, never having fully stretched its capabilities.


    ¡°Then we¡¯ll see when the time comes.¡±


    Not knowing what the outcome of the negotiations with the Bing Yun Hermit would be, Chen Mobai simply offered the Purple Electric Sword a price of five top-grade Spirit Stones for action, with a promise to increase the reward depending on how the battle unfolded.


    Upon hearing this unprecedented high price, the Purple Electric Sword became filled with fighting spirit.


    But over the years, having absorbed a good amount of Spiritual Stone Spiritual Qi, it boasted even more spirit, so it posed another question to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Master, is this opponent very frightening, and why must you fight head-on? After all, this is a different world, wouldn¡¯t it be better to retreat directly back to the Immortal Gate?¡±


    Chen Mobai tricked the Purple Electric Sword, saying he was undercover within a minor power in a different world, instigating a war, which it naively believed.


    Yet, such undercover missions, in the face of danger, could be abandoned and one could retreat at any moment depending on the situation.


    Because the original owner of the Purple Electric Sword had gone through this himself.


    ¡°Retreat, huh¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai turned to look behind him. Though hidden by mountain ranges, the sky of the Eastern Wilderness still entered his vision.


    He had been in this world for nearly sixty years.


    He could even say that he had spent more time in the Eastern Wilderness than at the Immortal Gate.


    And over these years, unbeknownst to himself, he had come to consider himself the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, even viewing the entire Eastern Wilderness as his own backyard.


    This place was his territory!

 Chapter 1343 - Chapter 1343 Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_3

    Chapter 1343: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_3 Chapter 1343: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_3 Without my permission, no one is allowed to step foot here!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts suddenly became incredibly clear at this moment.


    This Eastern Wilderness was not only the domain of the Five Elements Sect, but it was also his, Chen Mobai¡¯s, Eastern Wilderness.


    He had declared that he would bring eternal peace to this territory!


    Any person or force capable of threatening his dominion over this land was an enemy he sought to expel!


    Just then, Chen Mobai suddenly felt an indiscernible force of collective willpower emanating from not far behind him in the Eastern Wilderness, flowing ceaselessly towards his external incarnation.


    Above the head of the external incarnation, this collective willpower found its anchor and began to condense slowly, taking the shape of a jade crown.


    The moment the Jade Crown was adorned, the originally nebulous face of the external incarnation shone with a crystalline light, its facial features faintly emerging.


    What¡¯s this¡­?


    Chen Mobai looked on in slight surprise at this scene, but a moment of enlightenment soon surged in his mind.


    He felt that once the Jade Crown was placed upon his head, if he operated his Divine Sense, he could penetrate the essence of his being, achieving clarity of mind and insight into his true nature.


    And by introspecting his own body, if he used even more Divine Sense, it seemed possible to observe the very nature of the Eastern Wilderness, comprehending all beings and phenomena!


    Crown of Heaven and Earth!


    This was the crown bestowed upon him by all the beings of the Eastern Wilderness.


    It was also the reward of merit and virtue Chen Mobai received after unifying the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he had not yet reached Core Formation, he could use this Crown of Heaven and Earth to introspect and observe the world around him, and achieve Enlightenment Core Formation!


    It was at this time that Chen Mobai knew that Enlightenment Core Formation was not solely about merit, but even more so, it required a clear understanding of one¡¯s own Dao Heart.


    His Dao Heart was his appreciation for, or rather his greed for, the Eastern Wilderness territory.


    Once the Dao Heart was established, merit had a carrier to adhere to.


    Just like Mo Douguang, the realm had to be accomplished before one could reach Perfection Core Formation.


    It was in this instant that Chen Mobai¡¯s Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram suddenly advanced to the second level of mastery!


    His Divine Sense doubled in an instant, and within his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, the Phoenix Phantom perched atop the Paulownia shone with greater sacred and auspicious radiance, filling everything and causing the Green Paulownia Seedlings to burst forth into growth.


    Chen Mobai sensed immediately which parts of his body retained the residue of Dan Poison from taking elixirs.


    Accompanied by dry retching, he spat out a glob of dark red phlegm.


    This was all the harmful substances within his body.


    With the second layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun completed, and bolstered by an Immune to All Poisons state, all were expelled from his body.


    Chen Mobai was also very particular about hygiene; with a snap of his fingers, he used Green-sun Fire to incinerate the phlegm completely.


    He had yet to fully experience the other wonders of this Crown of Heaven and Earth when he already felt two immensely powerful energies colliding and roaring in the distance!


    One of them was Zhou Shengqing, whom he was very familiar with!


    The other, naturally, needed no introduction ¨C it was the Bing Yun Hermit.


    It seemed the two had not come to an agreement!


    ¡°Please lend me your strength!¡±


    Chen Mobai knew it was time for him to act, and he called down to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect within the five major formations below.


    Golden Core Cultivators like Mo Douguang immediately mobilized the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, surging forth endlessly.


    Within the formations, all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation disciples sat down cross-legged at this moment, holding Spirit Stones in their hands, striving to channel their Spiritual Power as quickly as possible.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s True Body remained here, but under his control, his external incarnation rode upon colorful clouds and rushed towards Zhou Shengqing and Bing Yun Hermit, who were engaged in combat.


    After the breakthrough of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense became even stronger and the formidable forces that he had struggled to control previously were now being channeled by him, pouring unceasingly into the Purple Electric Sword.


    A thunderous sword move ready to strike at any time!


    Ruins!


    Zhou Shengqing employed Domain Expansion, setting up three Golden Sun Spirit Trees to form the Three Talents Large Formation, releasing countless Spirit Leaves to create a potent defense, blocking the flurry of snowflakes from the sky.


    According to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s current realm, only when a Rank-4 Everlife Wood was refined into a Tree Seed would it truly complement him.


    Unfortunately, there were no Rank-4 Spirit Plant Masters in the Wood Vein, so there was no way to refine the Everlife Wood into the Tree Seed, forcing Zhou Shengqing to make up for quality with quantity.


    Initially, he had deployed six Golden Sun Spirit Trees, creating a Hexagram Large Formation.


    However, after several rounds of combat with the Bing Yun Hermit, three of them had been penetrated by the Cold Ice Sword Light, turning into icy fragments scattered across the mountains.

    If not for Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Rank-4 Golden Mirage Pearl protecting his body, he probably would have been unable to hold on and started to retreat by now.


    ¡°A mere Legal Body Nascent Soul dares to stand in my way, I¡¯ll give you a chance, surrender now, otherwise, after I slay you, I will flatten the entire Five Elements Sect!¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit had an aloof and beautiful countenance, though her tone was haughty, there was no fluctuation in her emotions.


    Her skin was as pale as snow, her eyes icy and indifferent, emanating a chill that warned others not to come close.


    As she spoke, she maneuvered her Snow White Flying Sword, slashing fiercely around Zhou Shengqing, resembling a bright white dragon that, dodging the Golden Mirage Pearl, brought white ice lightning to once again slash and freeze another Golden Sun Spirit Tree.

 Chapter 1344 - Chapter 1344 Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_4

    Chapter 1344: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_4 Chapter 1344: Chapter 735 Crown of Heaven and Earth (7k)_4 ¡°Fellow Daoist, our sect has already reported to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect regarding Kong Lingling from Snow-blowing Palace practicing Demonic Cultivation Techniques. If you continue to cause trouble, once the disciples from the Holy Land arrive, the crime of harboring a Magic Daoist Monk may very well fall upon your head,¡± Zhou Shengqing said after exchanging two moves, knowing he was no match for Bing Yun Hermit. Relying on the Golden Mirage Pearl, he could manage to drag out the fight, and thus he attempted to persuade her again.


    ¡°Hmph, if Kong Lingling practices demonic cultivation, I will personally eradicate the lineage of Snow-blowing Palace myself. But her practicing demonic cultivation and making my Ice Palace and your Five Elements Sect enemies are not necessarily related.¡±


    Although Bing Yun Hermit was cold and arrogant, she knew well that the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was not a force she could afford to offend, even in the Eastern Wilderness she didn¡¯t want to give others a pretext.


    Therefore, she directly used the quest for vengeance as a reason to oppose the Five Elements Sect!


    Moreover, the allure of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul also tempted her.


    A Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, even a treasure in the East Land.


    If she could obtain it, Ice Palace might gain an additional Nascent Soul.


    Originally, she just planned to take back a disciple who was fostered here after Kong Lingling¡¯s death, never expecting this additional gain.


    ¡°Tell me, where did you get this Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood?¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit questioned again, but how could Zhou Shengqing possibly disclose that, simply shaking his head and more intensely stimulating the power of the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    ¡°Then perish. After killing you, I will go to the Five Elements Sect and ask each Golden Core Cultivator one by one. I do not believe they all have a backbone like yours.¡±


    At this moment, Bing Yun Hermit no longer intended to negotiate with Zhou Shengqing.


    She planned to take down the entire Five Elements Sect with absolute strength.


    ¡°As the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, Chen Guixian, you need not bother coming yourself, I am already here!¡±


    But just then, a commanding and profound voice erupted, followed by a colossal figure with a jade crown and vague features, stepping on a colorful auspicious cloud and draped in a robe of five-colored rosy light, appearing before the two battling cultivators.


    ¡°Junior brother, you have finally arrived!¡±


    Although Zhou Shengqing had never seen such an external incarnation before, he immediately recognized Chen Mobai¡¯s divine consciousness fluctuations, along with the immense Primordial True Qi, at the very first moment.


    ¡°Please forgive me, senior brother, for arriving a bit late.¡±


    The gigantic figure of Chen Mobai bowed to Zhou Shengqing, but at that moment, Bing Yun Hermit waved her hand, and myriad snowflakes with extremely cold chillness enveloped the external incarnation.


    However, the robe of five-colored rosy light gently undulated, releasing a rainbow glow created by the massive condensed Primordial True Qi. As long as it was within the scope of the Five Elements Spells, it was invulnerable to all techniques!


    Soon, the snowflakes that blanketed everything in white melt upon touching the robe of five-colored rosy light, turning instantly into droplets of water, merging into the icy vast land.


    ¡°Primordial True Qi!¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit, also a cultivator with some Holy Land inheritances, recognized immediately what divine skill Chen Mobai was employing upon seeing this scene, her eyes sharpening and brows furrowing!


    ¡°If you really intend to fight to the end, Fellow Daoist, then do not blame me and senior brother for outnumbering you!¡±


    Even as he spoke, Chen Mobai unleashed his colorful light sword like a startling spear, instantly sweeping up all the spiritual energy in the sky, targeting Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s glabella.


    A transparent ice wall appeared midair, precisely blocking Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Sword Sha.


    But with a crack!


    The Five Elements Sword Sha, injected with some of Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial True Qi, penetrated the ice wall formed by Ice Spirit Power, creating a crack that then spread like a spider web in all directions.


    Eventually, it shattered completely into pieces of ice!


    Yet, by this time, Bing Yun Hermit had already left her original position.


    Her form, ghost-like, suddenly emerged in front of Chen Mobai.


    With her keen sight, she immediately recognized that Chen Mobai¡¯s capability was merely at the Golden Core level, merely using a Secret Technique to temporarily possess the power of a Nascent Soul.


    Such power, full of flaws!


    Under her divine sense¡¯s drive, the white Flying Sword burst out bright white light, like an ice attribute Extreme Sun Slash, directly stabbing into the five-colored rosy light robe.


    Primordial True Qi had played the role it was supposed to, melting all the Ice Spirit Power attached to the flying sword, but the might of this powerful Rank-4 flying sword itself penetrated without hindrance.


    This was also how the Eastern Lands dealt with Primordial True Qi.


    After all, as one of the Four Great Holy Lands, the First Origin Dao Palace was the center of attention across the world.


    Primordial True Qi could neutralize the Five Elements Spells of the world, but it had no effect on physical Magic Artifacts.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s External Incarnation had the power of a Nascent Soul, it was not cultivated by himself and was rather cumbersome.


    Without the Five-Colored Dawn Robe, he probably would have been frozen by Bing Yun Hermit at the first move.


    Facing the thrust of the Snow White Flying Sword now, Chen Mobai did not dare to be careless.


    Purple Thunder Sword Roaring!


    A deep purple Sword Light, brimming with sharp brilliance, burst forth from the palm of his left hand, stabbing fiercely towards Bing Yun Hermit.


    Bing Yun Hermit naturally did not wish to perish together with an incarnation!


    She snorted coldly, maneuvering the Snow White Longsword to fly back and shield her, clashing with the Purple Lightning Sword.


    Bang!


    The two swords collided, igniting huge sparks that shook the frozen ground, trees, and mountains around them, releasing a surge of cold air.


    Both wielders unleashed true Nascent Soul strength with this sword strike; Chen Mobai knew that this incarnation¡¯s strength couldn¡¯t last long, and it had significant flaws, so he resolved to decide the outcome with one strike.


    As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Bing Yun Hermit was also very confident in her strength.


    She believed that Chen Mobai¡¯s Nascent Soul incarnation, enhanced by an Array, could at best block her attack, but not injure her.


    But at the moment of the swords¡¯ clash, her expression suddenly changed!


    Her pride, her Lifebound Flying Sword, had unexpectedly developed a tiny nick!


    This indicated that her Flying Sword¡¯s quality was actually inferior to Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    Impossible!


    How could such a high-quality, powerful Flying Sword possibly exist in the humble East Wasteland Village?


    In disbelief, Bing Yun Hermit immediately executed a Sword Technique to avoid a hard clash, trying to dissolve the power of the Purple Lightning Sword, which continued to emit arcs of electricity, and evade it!


    But at that moment, a golden storm descended from the sky, forming a strong binding force that seized her figure, freezing her in place!


    Zhou Shengqing had timed it perfectly, striking at the critical moment!


    This forced Bing Yun Hermit to endure Chen Mobai¡¯s full-powered strike from the Purple Lightning Peak!


    ¡°Is this your strongest move?¡±


    Though bound, Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s face showed no change; she opened her mouth to spit out Essence Blood onto her Flying Sword.


    In an instant, the Snow White Flying Sword¡¯s brilliance flickered to its utmost, resembling a rising snow-white sun amidst the ruins!


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected Bing Yun to still possess such strength; it could only be said that the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm each had unexpected desperation moves meant for protecting or gambling their lives.


    But by this time, they were already on a path of no return!

    Chen Mobai roared loudly, and the Five-Colored Dawn Robe flew out from his incarnation¡¯s body, suddenly enveloping the Snow White Flying Sword.


    The Primordial True Qi erupted, annihilating itself together with the sword¡¯s brilliance!


    Then, the blade of the Purple Lightning Sword chopped down; Bing Yun Hermit could only forcefully maneuver her Flying Sword to block.


    The two swords clashed again, and the already slightly nicked Snow White Flying Sword, hit again by the blade of the Purple Lightning Sword, cracked with a crisp snap.


    Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s face turned deathly pale!

 Chapter 1345 - Chapter 1345 Chapter 736 Yuan Zhen Arrives Nascent Soul Bows

    Chapter 1345: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K) Chapter 1345: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K) The lifebound flying sword was on the verge of shattering, a serious injury that made the Bing Yun Hermit experience a level of intense pain she had not felt in over a hundred years.


    And this long-lost agony ignited her survival instincts, which had been honed through her cultivation, to fully erupt!


    A lustrous white sphere formed in her palm and in an instant, burst forth with a blindingly bright and piercing cold light.


    Feeling the formidable power of the ice thunder, Chen Mobai, having exhausted his Primordial True Qi, could only throw out a Spirit Leaf Talisman given to him by Zhou Shengqing.


    At the same time, he maneuvered his all-out Purple Electric Sword in a desperate slash, hoping to take this opportunity to fell the Bing Yun Hermit, a Nascent Soul from the Eastland, in the ruins.


    However, a sudden appearance of a snowflake in mid-air blocked the oncoming Purple Electric Sword.


    The snowflake was cold and white, flickering with a pure frosty light, seemingly possessing the power to freeze the void. The previously unstoppable Purple Electric Sword was abruptly stalled before the neck of the Bing Yun Hermit.


    Then, the power of the ice thunder reached its peak in an explosion of energy, silent as a breathless cold tide, spreading out in all directions and forcing Zhou Shengqing, who had intended to surround and attack, to retreat.


    The Spirit Leaf Talisman in front of Chen Mobai dimmed under the onslaught of the cold tide, on the brink of being completely shattered.


    A golden whirlwind fell from the sky, protecting this external incarnation of Chen Mobai within it.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother, for lending a hand.¡±


    If this external incarnation had been lost, Chen Mobai estimated that, given sufficient resources, it would take him another ten to twenty years to coalesce a new one.


    ¡°What a pity, the Bing Yun Hermit got away.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing shook his head, controlling the Golden Mirage Pearl to protect both himself and Chen Mobai, keeping the relentless cold tide at bay.


    Chen Mobai, deeply connected with the Purple Electric Sword, through the perspective of the sword artifact, also saw the Bing Yun Hermit freeze the void with a snowflake-like talisman, then retract her nearly broken lifebound flying sword, transform into a snow-white Escaping Light, and rapidly vanish on the spot.


    ¡°Nascent Soul Cultivators are indeed hard to kill!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed; even if the Bing Yun Hermit hadn¡¯t fled, he would not have had any means to deal with her next.


    At best, Zhou Shengqing could rely on the Golden Mirage Pearl to put up a resistance.


    At that moment, the cold tide erupted to such an extent that dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder rolling ominously.


    It seemed like the extreme cold here had triggered a change in the weather!


    After a series of thunderous roars, Chen Mobai and his ally finally overcame the ice thunder cold tide unleashed by the Bing Yun Hermit before her departure.


    Looking around, the former wilderness of verdant mountains and rivers was now a vast expanse of white. Everything was frozen, covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the immense power of Primordial True Qi.


    With Primordial True Qi, he could ignore all of this.


    Even the wide array of ice attribute grand spells that the Bing Yun Hermit excelled in were no match for him, forcing her to resort to a pure contest of flying swords.


    Without Primordial True Qi, the cold tide triggered by the ice thunder nearly caused his external incarnation to freeze solid.


    Zhou Shengqing retracted the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    This exchange with the Bing Yun Hermit had also cost him greatly; he had been on the defensive for most of the battle, and if it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Mobai¡¯s timely support, he would probably be retreating by now.


    The two arrived at the place where the Bing Yun Hermit had disappeared. The Purple Electric Sword was frozen mid-air, and a layer of frost had formed on the surface of the blade.


    ¡°The talisman she used just now was likely the Frost Flower Talisman from the Ice Palace. It is said that upon its activation, it can freeze a part of the void, and only someone of Rank-5 can break it.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing recalled the scene and couldn¡¯t help but speak out.


    The Ice Palace was once a Holy Land, and although it had now fallen into ruin, some treasures must have remained.


    The Frost Flower Talisman was one of them.


    It was a top-tier Fourth Order Talisman with both offensive and defensive capabilities. If a cultivator was hit, they would be instantly frozen, left completely at the mercy of others.


    Chen Mobai immediately called out to the sword spirit of the Purple Electric Sword, who responded with a slight tremble.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m a bit too cold.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was distressed; since acquiring this sword artifact, he had never seen it in such a state.


    He quickly offered ten top-grade Spirit Stones as compensation.


    As soon as the Spirit Stones were placed on the blade, they dissolved into streams of pure luminous light, like smoke dissipating, continuously absorbed by Purple Electric Sword.


    After about a quarter of an hour, the Frost Flower Talisman¡¯s efficacy began to fade, and the layer of frost on the blade slowly melted away, turning into droplets of clear water that dripped from the tip of the sword.


    As each droplet hit the ground, it instantly turned into a towering pillar of ice rise from the earth.


    One could only imagine how terrifying the ice elemental power of the Frost Flower Talisman was for the Purple Electric Sword to withstand it head-on!


    Chen Mobai tenderly covered the Purple Electric Sword with top-grade Spirit Stones and then put it back into the Storage Bag to let it recuperate slowly.

    The Bing Yun Hermit had learned her lesson from this ordeal and would surely not make such an unrestrained appearance again.


    Moreover, the crack in her lifebound flying sword would cause her to suffer severe damage to her vital energy, possibly even affecting the essence of her being.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, until her injuries healed, the Bing Yun Hermit probably would not reappear.


    She might even choose to return and recuperate in the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace.


    However, Chen Mobai also considered the possibility that the Hermit was vindictive. She might stealthily hide and seek to cause trouble for the Five Elements Sect.

 Chapter 1346 - Chapter 1346 Chapter 736 Yuan Zhen Arrives Nascent Soul Bows

    Chapter 1346: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K) _2 Chapter 1346: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K) _2 With her Nascent Soul Realm, even now, with severe damage to her vital energy, she was indeed capable of traversing the Eastern Wilderness.


    Thus, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing discussed it briefly, and the latter still stayed within the ruins to see if he could find the injured Bing Yun Hermit.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, returned to continue leading the cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians, blocking the entrance to the ruins.


    Once they discovered Bing Yun Hermit, launching the Five Elements Dao Soldiers would also be able to hold them off for a while.


    However, this method was not omnipotent.


    After all, the so-called entrance to the ruins was only for ordinary cultivators, because that path had been most developed by the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, and powerful demonic beasts had long been cleared away.


    But for Nascent Soul Cultivators, any ruins bordering the Eastern Wilderness were as flat as a road.


    However, there were also Rank-3 demonic beast clans in those areas.


    If Bing Yun Hermit decided to break through, he would definitely make a noise.


    By then, they would be able to perceive it immediately.


    Whether to continue fighting or to avoid battle, they would be able to act according to the situation at the time.


    After the discussion, Chen Mobai¡¯s external incarnation transformed into a streak of flowing light, heading towards the camp of the Five Elements army.


    ¡°Junior Brother, I felt intense fluctuations in nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Did you engage with that scoundrel?¡± Mo Douguang, the highest cultivator in the camp, flew in mid-air, saw the external incarnation return and merge back into Chen Mobai¡¯s body, and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes, after a tough fight, I damaged her lifebound flying sword and temporarily forced her to retreat.¡± Chen Mobai also told the truth. Bing Yun Hermit was indeed the most formidable opponent he had encountered since his cultivation began. Although the previous Master Huakai was also of Nascent Soul Nature, she was still in the Golden Core Realm.


    Hearing this, the surrounding Golden Core Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect all gasped in shock.


    That was a Nascent Soul Cultivator!


    Defeated?!


    Yin Qingmei, who had just reached Core Formation, was somewhat dazzled upon hearing this news.


    Is this truly the extent of my foster father¡¯s power!


    Mo Douguang and others knew Zhou Shengqing was also there, but even so, they were still shocked by Chen Mobai¡¯s achievement.


    ¡°The enemy might not give up. I ask for everyone¡¯s continued support.¡± Chen Mobai briefly explained the battle situation, primarily that Bing Yun Hermit was seriously injured and it would be best for them if she chose to retreat knowing the difficulty.


    But they couldn¡¯t bet on that, only assuming that Bing Yun Hermit would not give up.


    After all, the Eastern Wilderness was now the domain of the Five Elements Sect. If a Nascent Soul Cultivator invaded and wreaked havoc, it would surely shake their foundation.


    Especially since Chen Mobai had just received the ¡°Crown of Heaven and Earth¡± granted by the beings of the Eastern Wilderness.


    He now regarded the Eastern Wilderness as his home and wouldn¡¯t allow anyone to come in and cause destruction.


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mo Douguang and others nodded.


    It was at this moment that Sheng Zhaoxi suddenly had a thought coursing through his mind!


    [This Sect Leader¡¯s junior brother might indeed be able to form his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.]


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s lead, everyone flew down, and many Qi Practitioners, pale-faced, were holding spirit stones, recovering the spiritual power drained by the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners, especially those weaker, did the same.


    In fact, Mo Douguang and the others also expended a lot, but being Golden Core Cultivators, even though six or seven tenths of their spiritual power was drawn out, what remained could still suppress the Foundation Establishments, so it was not apparent from their appearances.


    [It seems that assembling five ten thousand cultivators formations would truly unleash the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.] Chen Mobai thought to himself, although achieving this would still be an arduous task.


    All the Five Elements Meridians together didn¡¯t even reach twenty thousand cultivators.


    He only hoped that after dealing with Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s situation, they could gradually develop the entire human race of the Eastern Wilderness. Through the Spirit Rice already being planted across the Eastern Desolation Plateau, they could nurture a better next generation.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai also started holding a spirit stone, closing his eyes to recover his essence, Qi, and spirit.


    Although he had absorbed the Five Elements Dao Soldiers into his external incarnation during his encounter with Bing Yun Hermit, his own power was also a critical part, especially the consumption of his Divine Sense, which was extremely severe.


    However, this time controlling the power of the Nascent Soul was also greatly beneficial to him.


    Although he couldn¡¯t yet fully comprehend the mysteries of the Nascent Soul Realm, at the very least, he had a more direct understanding and experience of this realm¡¯s power.


    Next, he just needed to gradually transform this understanding into insight, which would be extremely beneficial for his eventual ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Time quickly passed, seven days went by.


    Bing Yun Hermit was even more cautious than Chen Mobai anticipated, not showing up at all.


    The same went for Zhou Shengqing.


    A Nascent Soul Superior intent on hiding was hard to track unless they deployed the vast army of the Five Elements Meridians, making it very difficult just by his lonesome_presence.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, however, showed no change in his approach, still letting the five major formations conserve their strength. Periodically, he drilled the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, enhancing their proficiency while also experiencing the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Although having so many cultivators from the Five Elements Meridians assembled here meant consuming a massive amount of spirit stones daily, resources could be earned back, but if Bing Yun Hermit exploited a weakness by surprise, the loss of any Golden Core would be irreplaceable.


    To this end, Mo Douguang and the others agreed.


    However, good news arrived swiftly.


    On their eighth day of readiness, a message talisman from Yuan Zhen fell into Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, indicating she had reached the Golden Crow Immortal City and would soon come to the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 1347 - Chapter 1347 Chapter 736 Yuan Zhen Arrives Nascent Soul Bows

    Chapter 1347: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K)_3 Chapter 1347: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K)_3 Chen Mobai received the message and, while he breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly took out the Message Talisman she had given him before, writing about the situation of his battle with Bing Yun Hermit.


    In the content, he naturally emphasized how Bing Yun Hermit had disregarded the authority of Jiutian Dangmo Sect and even though she knew her disciple was involved in the Demon Path¡¯s practices, she had been overbearing and unreasonable, wanting to use her overwhelming power to force Five Elements Sect to submit, among other things¡­


    Although he had embellished the story slightly, Chen Mobai assured himself that everything he wrote was based on fact.


    Next, it was just a matter of waiting for Yuan Zhen¡¯s arrival.


    He hoped that no unforeseen incidents would occur in the meantime.


    Chen Mobai thought this, and his nerves became even more strung tight. He even sent this news to Zhou Shengqing, instructing him to come back immediately and guard the vicinity.


    After all, the current Five Elements Formation was the cream of the crop of the Five Elements Sect, and if anything were to go wrong, he reckoned it would take nearly a year to recover.


    As the time drew closer, Chen Mobai became increasingly nervous.


    That day, a brilliant golden Flying Boat descended above the Five Elements Sect¡¯s camp.


    Chen Mobai immediately absorbed the Five Elements Dao Soldiers into his body, his vast incarnation like that of a Heavenly God, made the Flying Boat tremble unsteadily, as if it could barely withstand his terrifying pressure.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, what impressive prestige!¡± Yuan Zhen teased with a slightly joking tone, then she emerged with two female disciples and two cultivators wearing the Sun Bathing Sea Vestment robes.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, please forgive me, the enemy is simply too formidable, and our humble sect dared not make any mistakes,¡± Chen Mobai modestly replied, then he dismissed his External Incarnation and paid his respects to Yuan Zhen and her company.


    ¡°Yu Hai you know. This is Zhu Jun from the Sun Bathing Sea. Knowing I was in a hurry to come to the Eastern Wilderness, she kindly brought me here with her Golden Boat,¡± Yuan Zhen said with a smile as she introduced the two Sun Bathing Sea cultivators to Chen Mobai.


    Zhu Jun was a female cultivator with an ethereal quality, her appearance delicate and beautiful, as if sculpted from jade, wearing a pale golden Sunbathing Immortal Robe, adorned with ornate hair accessories. With a presence as calm as a deep pool, she stood midair exuding a distinctive charm, no less formidable than Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°So it¡¯s the esteemed True Person Zhu, I¡¯ve long admired your great name.¡±


    Aside from the Nascent Soul Cultivator Baiwu Ancestor, the Sun Bathing Sea also had ten Golden Core Cultivators.


    Renowned as the ¡°Sun Bathing Ten True Ones.¡±


    Among them, Zhu Jun, the leading figure, who already attained Perfection in her Golden Core Realm early on, was regarded at the same status as Xuan Shu of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, and also a genius of the level of a Taoist Saintess.


    However, Zhu Jun had risen to prominence earlier than Xuan Shu. During the last Beidou Conference, Baiwu Ancestor had spent a significant sum to secure a portion of Three Lights Divine Water, supposedly for her.


    Since then, she remained in seclusion, clearly in preparation for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    But now, she had suddenly appeared here, clearly still in the Golden Core Realm.


    It seemed that ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± had failed for her!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind flickered with this thought, and he couldn¡¯t help feeling a secret delight.


    Baiwu Ancestor of the Sun Bathing Sea had once coveted the Primordial Dao Fruit of the Five Elements sect during a split in the sects, and they were nothing if not enemies. If there were one more Nascent Soul, it spelled nothing but bad news for them.


    ¡°Greetings to Sect Master Chen!¡±


    Zhu Jun spoke with a somewhat cool demeanor, but a trace of surprise could be seen in her eyes.


    The presence Chen Mobai exuded as he absorbed the Five Elements Dao Soldiers reminded her of the past.


    She had once accompanied Baiwu Ancestor when the three Nascent Soul Cultivators joined forces to suppress the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast, witnessing Ancestor Hunyuan perform a similar manoeuvre.


    She had thought that only Nascent Soul Cultivators could achieve such a feat.


    However, to her surprise, here was Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, doing the same.


    Truly worthy of being a legacy of a Holy Land!


    Remembering the origins of the Five Elements Sect, Zhu Jun assumed it was the might of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers that allowed a Golden Core Cultivator to unleash the power of a Nascent Soul.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already used the name of Jiutian Dangmo Sect to issue an order to Ice Heaven Palace, telling Bing Yun Hermit to come to the Eastern Wilderness immediately.¡±


    Now, having finished introductions, Yuan Zhen revealed to Chen Mobai the reason for her late arrival.


    Upon receiving the Message Talisman, she felt a nameless fury swell in her heart.


    That run-down Ice Heaven Palace actually dared to disregard their Jiutian Dangmo Sect!


    Did they really still consider themselves a Holy Land of the past?


    She didn¡¯t bother seeking out Bing Yun Hermit, but instead, acting in the name of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s powers, she sent a harsh letter of demand to Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace.


    The palace surely had a way to contact Bing Yun Hermit, as Jiutian Dangmo Sect often used this tactic when dealing with cultivators who still had ties to a sect.


    I¡¯ll bypass you and pressure the sect!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If you don¡¯t come forward to explain yourself, it¡¯s as good as admitting to it.


    Over ten thousand years of inheritance, Jiutian Dangmo Sect had extinguished more than a few sects, its infamy echoing throughout the East Land, and even across the Tianhe Realm¡¯s Five Continents and Four Seas.


    Therefore, in the current Six Domains of the Eastern Wilderness, aside from East Li which was too far-reaching, the sects from the other five domains, upon receiving a demand from Jiutian Dangmo Sect, would respond at once to explain themselves.


    If a low-level disciple was involved, it was often the ancestors themselves who would personally arrest them and deliver them to Jiutian Dangmo Sect for judgment, praying only that the sect itself would not suffer collateral damage.


    If it were a matter concerning the sect¡¯s ancestors, then the disciples below would also plead bitterly: Elder, please, just go and explain! Or at least respond so that we can divide what¡¯s left of our heritage and prepare to disband and flee in advance.

 Chapter 1348 - Chapter 1348 Chapter 736 Yuan Zhen Arrives Nascent Soul Bows

    Chapter 1348: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K)_4 Chapter 1348: Chapter 736: Yuan Zhen Arrives, Nascent Soul Bows (7K)_4 Chen Mobai listened to what Yuan Zhen said and could only marvel at the supreme status of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect!


    When Ye Qing went to the Kong Sang Valley, with his Golden Core cultivation level, he was able to compel the Golden Core Cultivators Mu Qin and Ku Zhu to bow their heads and even give up resistance voluntarily, enduring the punishment of seven swords piercing through their bodies.


    And now, Yuan Zhen was in a similar position, but Chen Mobai wondered whether the Bing Yun Hermit would submit.


    However, Chen Mobai soon realized he had overthought the matter and underestimated the notorious reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect in the East Land.


    Shortly after he had returned to Northern Abyss City with Yuan Zhen, a snow-white message talisman like goose feathers landed in the hands of a female disciple beside Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°It¡¯s an explanation from the Bing Yun Hermit, she¡¯s currently outside the Immortal City!¡±


    After reading the content, the female disciple held it with both hands and presented it to Yuan Zhen.


    ¡°Then let her come in. Considering she is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I¡¯ll give her a chance to explain.¡±


    Yuan Zhen¡¯s calm words made even Chen Mobai glance sideward.


    When Yuan Zhen first came to Northern Abyss City, she was just as proud, which left a deep impression on him.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that in front of him she was no longer arrogant, but with other cultivators, she still was.


    Perhaps having become the Saintess she had regained some of her original demeanor.


    Soon enough, a snow-white trail of ice light descended from the sky and landed in the great hall of Northern Abyss City.


    With pale skin and a frosty countenance, dressed in white, it was the Bing Yun Hermit.


    ¡°Greetings to the Saintess!¡±


    As soon as she entered, she greeted Yuan Zhen with a bow.


    Aside from Yuan Zhen, neither Chen Mobai nor Zhu Jun, who was sitting to one side, caused any fluctuation in her gaze.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen has accused your Ice Palace of having Golden Core Cultivators in the branch of the East Land that practice Demonic Cultivation by absorbing the essence blood and spiritual power of our Five Elements Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment Practitioners for cultivation. As the head of the Ice Palace, he had already informed you of this matter when you were coming over and also mentioned that our Jiutian Dangmo Sect would be arriving, but you still fought against them. Why is that? Explain yourself.¡±


    Yuan Zhen took out Chen Mobai¡¯s report letter and coldly questioned the Bing Yun Hermit.


    The Bing Yun Hermit frowned, after all, she was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and being questioned like this by Yuan Zhen in front of these juniors, including Chen Mobai, made her rather displeased.


    Even if you are the Saintess of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, you are still just a Golden Core Cultivator. The last Saintess failed at Nascent Soul Formation and passed away in meditation. You should have some fear for me as a Nascent Soul Cultivator¡­


    While the Bing Yun Hermit was thinking this, Yuan Zhen took a Green Jade Vial out of her sleeve and placed it on the table beside her.


    The Bing Yun Hermit saw the Green Mirage Bottle and her pupils suddenly constricted.


    Fifth-Level Magical Treasure!


    After the dispersal of the Ice Heaven Snow Land Star Flow Cloud, it turned into three lineages, with the strongest one inheriting a fifth-level magical treasure. Following her Nascent Soul Formation, the Bing Yun Hermit had the fortune to comprehend it once.


    She wouldn¡¯t mistake the fifth-order fluctuation.


    This Saintess of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect is truly favored!


    Thinking this, the Bing Yun Hermit clenched her teeth and had to bow her head.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Saintess. The news of the death of the Golden Core Cultivator from our branch sect clouded my mind, so after leaving the East Land, all I could think about was seeking revenge. But truly, I didn¡¯t know she was cultivating Demonic Cultivation Techniques, and after all, this is just one person¡¯s side of the story. We are enemies, so how can I believe whatever he says?¡±


    The Bing Yun Hermit pointed to Chen Mobai as she spoke, suggesting that in a hostile situation, Chen Mobai¡¯s words could all be lies to her.


    Her reasoning was somewhat passable to Yuan Zhen.


    After all, the Bing Yun Hermit was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and although Yuan Zhen had the Green Mirage Bottle in hand, she could only protect herself against a Nascent Soul Cultivator and should not oppress her too harshly.


    ¡°The truth of the matter will be clear with a single investigation.¡±


    The method of handling matters at the Jiutian Dangmo Sect has always been a direct confrontation between both parties, each presenting evidence to prove their case.


    This time, Chen Mobai¡¯s complaint was straightforward.


    There was the scene of the crime, with a large number of bodies as evidence.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, please!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately invited everyone present to head towards the cave.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take my Bathing Day Golden Boat; it¡¯s a bit faster!¡±


    Zhu Jun, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, and Yuan Zhen immediately nodded in agreement.


    The Flying Boat of the Five Elements Sect was at most Rank-2, and indeed it was not very fast. If Chen Mobai were to carry everyone over with the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± the long journey would consume too much spiritual power to be sustainable.


    So, he didn¡¯t oppose the idea and even thanked Zhu Jun.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the price of magical artifacts capable of flight was extremely high, for there were times when they could help cultivators escape a calamity.


    This Bathing Day Golden Boat was a third Rank Peak flying artifact, previously used by the Baiwu Ancestor. Later, as he remained stationed in the Golden Crow Immortal City for a long time, and Zhu Jun was hopeful of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he bestowed this artifact upon her.


    Chen Mobai and his group all boarded the boat, but the Ice Cloud Hermit refused.


    She insisted that her own flying speed could keep up!


    Yuan Zhen let her be.


    Indeed, the Bathing Day Golden Boat was swift; starting from above Northern Abyss City, in less than a day¡¯s time, they arrived at the mysterious cave located between Frost County and Snow County.


    And here, Fu Zongjue, who had returned ahead of time to prepare, was already waiting with the Demonic Sacred Embryo.


    Besides him, Mo Douguang was also present.


    Sheng Zhaoxi had left with most of the disciples of the Fire Vein after Yuan Zhen¡¯s arrival, as she needed to upgrade Nu Jiang¡¯s magical artifact. Had it not been for the urgency, she would not have come at all.


    ¡°There does seem to be a tinge of Demonic Cultivation Technique!¡±


    Upon seeing the Demonic Sacred Embryo, Yuan Zhen couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.


    However, it was still too early to jump to conclusions.


    Soon, they made their way to the deepest part of the cave.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    The Ice Cloud Hermit saw the wall of ice blocking their way and couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°This should be formed by a Rank-5 ice spell of Ice Heaven Cultivation, I was able to break into the ice wall with a Void Law Body, and it was precisely because of this that I was able to save my disciple.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually executed a ¡®Flame Sun Slash¡¯ against the ice wall, demonstrating its durability.


    ¡°Oh, Sect Master Chen has actually cultivated the True Void Law Body, which is the Body Refining Technique used by Taixu Piaomiao Palace to select its disciples.¡±


    However, Yuan Zhen responded, somewhat surprised by a different matter.


    True Void Law Body is from Taixu Piaomiao Palace?


    Chen Mobai truly didn¡¯t know about this!


    But now was not the time to explore this detail, and besides, what he possessed was not the True Void Law Body but the Underworld Array, so he immediately steered the conversation back on track.


    ¡°Kong Lingling can freely enter and exit this ice wall, even carrying the Demonic Sacred Embryo with her. She practices Ice Heaven Cultivation, so I presume the Ice Cloud Hermit should be able to do the same.¡±


    Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of Yuan Zhen and others turned towards the Ice Cloud Hermit.


    ¡°This is the Rank-5 ¡®Silver Packaging Jade Paving Technique,¡¯ indeed it is the inheritance of our sect¡¯s Holy Land!¡±


    The Ice Cloud Hermit exhaled a breath, nodded in acknowledgment, and then formed a seal with her hands. A piercingly cold stream diffused from her palm, making contact with the ice wall.


    In the blink of an eye, a portal that one could pass through, identical to the seal on her palm, appeared on the ice wall.


    ¡°Who goes there!¡±

    The vigilant voice of Yu Lian echoed from beyond the portal.


    ¡°Do not be alarmed, Niece Yu, it¡¯s me.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai invited Yuan Zhen to step in together.


    Out of concern for not raising suspicion of tampering with evidence, the Ice Cloud Hermit was the last to enter.


    As soon as she entered, she saw the scene inside and widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief!

 Chapter 1349 - Chapter 1349 Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu

    Chapter 1349: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu Chapter 1349: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu Bing Yun Hermit had just crossed the ice wall when she saw the scattered remains all over the ground.


    But to someone like her, a Nascent Soul Superior, these were but trivial matters.


    What really made her eyes widen was the husk of the Mother Locust at the very center.


    Within Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s vision, which was imperceptible to Chen Mobai and the others, countless transparent chains of ice extended from the walls in all directions, locking onto the joints of the Mother Locust.


    Bing Yun Hermit had heard of this Magic Artifact, it was one of Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s Fifth-Level Magical Treasures, the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu.


    Back in the grand days when Ice was still a Holy Land, this Fifth-Level Magical Treasure was wielded by the Saintess, Hermit Qingyao.


    During the pioneering of the Eastern Wilderness, Pioneer Cultivators encountered the Mother Locust and could not advance, so they had to seek help from the Holy Land.


    The Spirit Transformation of Holy Land Ice led the Taoist Saintess personally to the Eastern Wilderness, where they suppressed the Rank-5 Mother Locust queen and seventeen Rank-4 Mother Locusts.


    After dealing with these strongest Demonic beasts, the Spirit Transformation and the Taoist returned to the East Land, leaving Hermit Qingyao behind to tackle the remaining Locust Monster Beasts.


    Hermit Qingyao was the founder of Snow-blowing Palace.


    At this thought, Bing Yun Hermit figured out why this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu ended up here.


    It must have been that Hermit Qingyao encountered a powerful Mother Locust afterwards and could not penetrate its tough flesh, so she had no choice but to use this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu to seal it here, waiting for a future solution.


    Unfortunately, after Hermit Qingyao returned to the Central State Holy Land, she thought she had the merit of opening up the Eastern Wilderness and tried to break through to Spirit Transformation, but failed and passed away in meditation.


    After her death, when the Holy Land took inventory of her Storage Bag, this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu was nowhere to be found.


    Despite questioning her several disciples and using the Daoist Heart Oath for verification, it left no trace.


    The disappearance of this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu thus became a major regret for Ice.


    After all, it was a Fifth-Level Magical Treasure!


    Bing Yun Hermit did not expect to see this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu here in the Eastern Wilderness.


    It was said that during the refinement of this treasure, Invisible Spirit Crystal was added to it, rendering it invisible when not in use, becoming intangible. If Bing Yun Hermit had not cultivated the Ice Heaven Cultivation which was passed down directly from Hermit Qingyao, she likely wouldn¡¯t have been able to see this Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, this corpse here is Fu Xingzhou from our sect, who had disappeared for decades. He was also a remarkable genius, known to have Golden Core potential. Had he not been captured and killed by Kong Lingling, his achievements would probably not be inferior to mine now¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Fu Zongjue on the side a bit embarrassed.


    He was overpraising him.


    In the entire history of the Five Elements Sect, aside from Ancestor Hunyuan, no one else¡¯s talent could compare with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Since we are now at the scene of the crime, we will proceed according to the rules. Sect Master Chen, are you willing to take a Daoist Heart Oath for what you are about to say?¡±


    Yuan Zhen, seeing the corpses strewn about and the emaciated Yu Lian who had not yet recovered, was already convinced of Chen Mobai¡¯s words. But the proper procedures still needed to be followed.


    ¡°Naturally, I am willing!¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded with assurance.


    ¡°Please, Bing Yun Hermit, come over. If you have any questions, confront Sect Master Chen directly.¡±


    Yuan Zhen nodded and called out to Bing Yun Hermit, who was still looking at the huge husk of the Mother Locust, but to his surprise, she simply shook her head.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to confront. Let¡¯s just assume that Kong Lingling engaged in Demon Path practices.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s statement surprised everyone present; she was conceding so quickly.


    One must know, Kong Lingling was a Golden Core Cultivator of Snow-blowing Palace and also registered under Ice Palace, so being proven to have cultivated through Demon Path would be a huge blow to the reputation of Ice Palace.


    According to the rules of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Ice Palace would have to shut its doors for a while, not allowed to recruit disciples from East Land.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed that Bing Yun Hermit only mentioned Demon Path practices and did not acknowledge that Kong Lingling cultivated Demon Path techniques.


    Practicing Demonic Cultivation Techniques and engaging in Demon Path actions would solidify the charges.


    At the very least, it would mean a penalty of piercing by seven swords.


    ¡°True Person Yuan, I believe that Kong Lingling also practiced Demonic Cultivation Techniques. This Demonic Sacred Embryo is the most direct evidence.¡±


    Chen Mobai, of course, wanted to knock down Ice Palace and even Bing Yun Hermit in one fell swoop. After all, they had already clashed fiercely, so seeing Bing Yun Hermit yield, he immediately launched a counterattack.


    After hearing this, Yuan Zhen looked at the Demonic Sacred Embryo, which Fu Zongjue was restraining with wooden sticks, noticed its peculiar appearance, and frowned slightly.


    ¡°Bing Yun Hermit, what do you think about this matter?¡±


    The Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation was in a gray area because it originally came from the Central State Sacred Land Ten Thousand Spirit Sect, and Jiutian Dangmo Sect did not dare to outright classify it as a Demonic Cultivation Technique.


    So while it was also officially banned in East Continent, it would only be recognized by Jiutian Dangmo Sect as a Demonic Cultivation when practiced by members of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering.


    ¡°Although Kong Lingling has fallen to the Demon Path, she has not joined a Demon Sect. This matter still requires the distinguished judgement of the Saintess.¡±


    To this, Bing Yun Hermit naturally wouldn¡¯t admit anything.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    She did not wish to endure the punishment of seven swords piercing the body.


    ¡°If Sect Master Chen has no objections, I am also willing to give you some face on this matter.¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Yuan Zhen straightforwardly said something that made Bing Yun Hermit tighten her brows.


    This was for her to negotiate with Chen Mobai.


    As long as the two of them reached an agreement, then the investigation would only pursue Kong Lingling for her Demon Path practices.

 Chapter 1350 - Chapter 1350 Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart

    Chapter 1350: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_2 Chapter 1350: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_2 If it were any other time, having Bing Yun Hermit bow down to Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, would be absolutely impossible.


    But given the current situation¡­


    Bing Yun Hermit glanced at the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu that others couldn¡¯t see and could only calm herself, squeezing out a smile and performing a salutation towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please state any demands you have, I am willing to offer compensation for the mistake Kong Lingling committed.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having listened to Yuan Zhen and Bing Yun Hermit, was also deep in thought, pondering how this matter should be resolved.


    Clearly, going head-to-head with Bing Yun Hermit was not a good thing for their Five Elements Sect.


    Without the Jiutian Dangmo Sect intervening, they would not be able to suppress a true Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    Even now, with Kong Lingling confirmed to have practiced Demonic Cultivation Techniques and Bing Yun Hermit having suffered the punishment of the Seven Swords, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect would not let Bing Yun Hermit die here, as it would make the Holy Land feel used and greatly annoyed.


    Without the power of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, the Five Elements Sect had no way to deal with Bing Yun Hermit.


    Hence, reconciliation became the final answer.


    It all depended on how much Chen Mobai could gain from this reconciliation.


    This was also Yuan Zhen¡¯s final help.


    Realizing this, Chen Mobai returned the gesture to Bing Yun Hermit and then started stating his conditions.


    ¡°The Snow-blowing Palace has been governed by Kong Lingling for over a hundred years, and it likely harbors demonic influences. Keeping it in the Eastern Wilderness will pose a hidden threat; it might even taint the pure Eastern Wilderness with Demonic Qi.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were intended to make the existence of Snow-blowing Palace in the Eastern Wilderness disappear, clearing any obstacles for the complete unification by their Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°I shall issue an announcement under the name of Ice Palace when I return to East Land, expelling Snow-blowing Palace from the divisions of our sects. Then, whether to kill or slash, Sect Master Chen¡¯s Five Elements Sect may act as they please.¡±


    However, the response from Bing Yun Hermit gave Chen Mobai some headaches.


    His favorite outcome would be for the entire force of the Ice Palace to take away Snow-blowing Palace, thus allowing their Five Elements Sect to take over the territory without resorting to war.


    But upon further consideration, without Kong Lingling and after being expelled by the Ice Palace, Snow-blowing Palace wouldn¡¯t be able to hold onto its vast Spirit Veins and mineral resources either. It would just be a matter of wasting some time, they should proceed gradually.


    ¡°My Five Elements Sect humbly inherits from the Holy Land and shall not actively engage in destroying sects. Our sect will only execute Cultivators associated with the Demon Path within Snow-blowing Palace, not exterminate them completely. After clearing the demonic influence, we will then have Snow-blowing Palace seal its mountain for sixty years, forbidding them from recruiting disciples in the Eastern Wilderness as a disciplinary measure.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke righteously, but inside, he had already planned to deploy Five Elements Sect Disciples during the sixty years of Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s seclusion to manage their external Spirit Veins, Spirit Fields, and mines.


    After all, leaving these assets idle would be a tremendous waste, and Chen Mobai, coming from the Immortal Gate, found waste most distressing.


    ¡°All industries of Snow-blowing Palace in the Eastern Wilderness can be discarded by my Ice Palace, but I will send someone from the East Land to manage that medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine.¡±


    At this time, however, Bing Yun Hermit said something that made Chen Mobai frown.


    Besides the Fourth-order Water Vein located where their palace gates stood, that medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine was the most valuable asset of Snow-blowing Palace.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really want the Spirit Stone Mine, but his goal was to ensure that apart from the Five Elements Sect, no other force would be stationed in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If the Ice Palace were to send people over, wouldn¡¯t it be like the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice?


    By then, there would be two thorns in the side of the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    This was unacceptable to him.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we discuss the Demonic Sacred Embryo again?¡±


    Chen Mobai tactfully expressed his disagreement.


    ¡°That medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine can still yield tens of millions of Spirit Stones. You can compensate me with three thousand Superior Quality Spirit Stones at once, and then it wouldn¡¯t be unreasonable to give it to you.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s words made Chen Mobai scoff, not wanting to give up even one.


    ¡°Then please have the fellows from the Ice Palace come to the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    With this statement, Bing Yun Hermit slightly frowned, not expecting Chen Mobai, merely a Golden Core Cultivator, to be so defiant.


    [Sect Master Chen, if you agree to one thing for me, I can ensure that the secret of your Five Elements Sect possessing an Embodiment Nascent Soul is not revealed to others.]


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai¡¯s ears were filled with a transmission from Bing Yun Hermit.


    Yuan Zhen pretended to be unaware of this.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, knowing that the matter of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Embodiment Nascent Soul would be exposed sooner or later, but delaying it was obviously better for their Five Elements Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, it represented that they had once obtained the Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, a supreme treasure cherished even in the East Land.


    Their small Five Elements Sect in the Barren would likely attract the attention of those major forces in the East Land, probably leading to no peace afterward.


    After all, Jiutian Dangmo Sect would only support them in matters related to the Demon Path.


    As for the nominal supporter, the First Origin Dao Palace, nearly ousted from the Holy Land rankings since that shameful incident a hundred years ago, no one knew when they would again send out missionaries.


    [The matter Bing Yun Hermit spoke of, is it about the Spirit Stone Mine?]


    Chen Mobai¡¯s tone softened a bit as he started exchanging transmissions with Bing Yun Hermit.

 Chapter 1351 - Chapter 1351 737 Chapter Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart

    Chapter 1351: 737 Chapter Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_3 Chapter 1351: 737 Chapter Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_3 ¡°The Spirit Stone Mine can be given to you, and I can also hand over all the industries Snow-blowing Palace has managed in the Eastern Wilderness for thousands of years, but I have a successor in Snow-blowing Palace, whom I wish to take away. Because she is a disciple of Kong Lingling, if she truly has ties with Demonic Cultivation, I request your esteemed self to show mercy.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a look of astonishment.


    A disciple of Kong Lingling?


    Unbelievably, it was the very successor of the cultivator of the Nascent Soul from the Ice Palace.


    Who is it?


    Although Snow-blowing Palace has quite a few Foundation Establishment practitioners, who are counted as disciples of Kong Lingling, the one valued by Bing Yun Hermit must certainly possess exceptional talent.


    After thinking it through, he already had a candidate in mind.


    It must be that girl renowned as one of the Five-Colored Immortal Seeds¨CBai Cai!


    He had met this young girl during his travels across the Eastern Wilderness, and she had stood out impressively, catching his eye instantly.


    ¡°As for matters related to the Demon Path, they must certainly be handled justly, but since Hermit has spoken thus, if it is a case of youthful ignorance being led astray by Kong Lingling, I will indeed step forward and discuss it with True Person Yuan.¡±


    Merely a Bai Cai, even if she were able to reach ¡®Nascent Soul Formation,¡¯ she certainly couldn¡¯t keep up with his pace, so Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement right away.


    Of course, he gave no guarantees.


    Especially since if Bai Cai truly practiced Demonic Cultivation, even unconsciously, according to the rules of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, that part of her cultivation level must be nullified.


    After settling the matter between them, they nodded to Yuan Zhen simultaneously.


    ¡°Since that is the case, let us then proceed to Snow-blowing Palace to find out if there are remnants of the Demon Path.¡±


    Yuan Zhen saw his first mission as a cultivator traveling the world come to such an easy completion, and he was exceedingly pleased.


    The parties involved had reached an agreement, and the cultivator who had engaged in acts associated with the Demon Path was already deceased, making it a top-notch mission completion for the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    As everyone left the area, Yu Lian was also conveniently taken out.


    For him, this was an unexpected joy since he had already resigned himself to imprisonment there.


    Fu Zongjue collected the remains of Fu Xingzhou. Apart from this, the rest were still sealed by Bing Yun Hermit behind the ice wall.


    While the matter was resolved for now, it was not truly concluded until after Yuan Zhen returned and filed it in the archives of Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Once Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s upper echelons also reviewed and found no issues, Yuan Zhen would send a message for Chen Mobai to deal with the bodies on this side, which were the evidence.


    Upon seeing this, the look in Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s eyes fluctuated slightly.


    With her back to everyone, she revealed a slight smile.


    The various negotiations with Chen Mobai were merely to prevent a thorough search by Jiutian Dangmo Sect behind the ice wall.


    Though the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu was exceedingly mysterious, Jiutian Dangmo Sect was, after all, a Holy Land, and if they discovered it during their search, a fifth-level magical treasure might be seized as evidence.


    Even if Bing Yun Hermit had various sect manuals proving that it was a legal treasure from their Ice Palace¡¯s ancestors, Jiutian Dangmo Sect could likely use verification as an excuse to delay.


    This was not without precedent.


    As a local, Bing Yun Hermit was well aware that a fifth-level magical treasure could make a Holy Land lower its own dignity.


    ¡°Once the matter is dealt with, I¡¯ll find a way to slip back, unlock the seal, and take the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu. Hmph, by then, having this magical treasure in hand, even the embodiment ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯ of the Five Elements Sect¡­¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit thought this and turned around, her smile already vanished, her demeanor as cold as frost.


    Seeing her re-seal the ice wall, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ponder much.


    Since an agreement had been reached between both parties, there was certainly no chance of confrontation, so he let Mo Douguang stay behind with Yu Lian to rest back at Northern Abyss City.


    Whereas, he and Fu Zongjue continued to follow Yuan Zhen to Snow-blowing Palace.


    Yuan Zhen: ¡°It once again falls on True Person Zhu to take the strain.¡±


    Because Snow-blowing Palace was located not far from Snow County, the group soon arrived by riding Zhu Jun¡¯s Bathing Day Golden Boat.


    Seeing Chen Mobai arrive with a group of cultivators disembarking from the Golden Boat, the Sect Leader of Snow-blowing Palace, Zhu Jinyu, without a word, instantly activated the rank-4 Mountain Protection Array.


    However, this array was set up by people from Ice Palace.


    On seeing this, Bing Yun Hermit coldly snorted and with a direct flick of her crystal white index finger, a bright icy light shot forth and penetrated a node vital to the array¡¯s operation.


    Immediately like a chain reaction, the immense formation covering Snow-blowing Palace ceased functioning.


    Bing Yun Hermit landed on the formation¡¯s light shield and gently waved her sleeve to tear open a huge gap, then made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Zhen and others.


    As an accused, she certainly would not be the first one to enter.


    With the Green Mirage Bottle on him, Yuan Zhen wasn¡¯t worried about a mere rank-4 Large Formation.


    He directly led his two female disciples down into it.


    Zhu Jun and Yu Hai swiftly followed.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but also followed with Fu Zongjue and the tied Demonic Sacred Embryo.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Foundation Establishment practitioners of Snow-blowing Palace, seeing Chen Mobai leading so many cultivators so easily breaking their major survival formation, all went pale.


    ¡°Do you recognize me?¡±


    The last one to fly down, Bing Yun Hermit, with an icy face, shouted at Zhu Jinyu and others.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ Elder Bing Yun!¡±


    The elder managing the Outer Sect of Snow-blowing Palace, Lan Lingping, hesitated before stepping forward, saluting Bing Yun Hermit.

 Chapter 1352 - Chapter 1352 Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart

    Chapter 1352: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_4 Chapter 1352: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_4 The Spirit Stones mined from the mines in the Eastern Wilderness, ninety percent of which were sent to the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace, sometimes Kong Lingling herself would go, and other times, Lan Lingping would take her place.


    Within the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace, Lan Lingping had seen the Bing Yun Hermit behind the ice curtains.


    ¡°Kong Lingling has been practicing the ways of the Demon Path¡­¡±


    Since Lan Lingping recognized her, the Bing Yun Hermit no longer introduced herself, but erupted with the formidable pressure of a Nascent Soul, forcing all members of Snow-blowing Palace to kneel involuntarily.


    She then began to pronounce the crimes of Kong Lingling.


    ¡°This is impossible¡­¡±


    Zhu Jinyu and others couldn¡¯t accept that their revered Master could be tainted by the Demon Path. After hearing the charges, they shook their heads under the pressure of the Nascent Soul, indicating such a thing was impossible.


    ¡°This is Saintess Yuan Zhen from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. The matter of Kong Lingling has been settled. If anyone from the Snow-blowing Palace is also tainted by the Demon Path, come forward now and confess, while I can still offer you a swift end.¡±


    The Bing Yun Hermit, with the gains of the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu, was now single-mindedly thinking of cutting ties with the Snow-blowing Palace as quickly as possible, to put an end to this matter.


    Even the excuse of the successor she had discussed with Chen Mobai could be discarded, should the need arise.


    ¡°Reporting to the Elder, we truly did not know of the Master¡­ of Kong Lingling¡¯s practice of the Demon Path. I only heard her mention that she had contracted a human-like Spirit Beast with peculiar talent. As long as it grew, it would be Rank-4, no less powerful than a Nascent Soul!¡±


    The reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect frightened Zhu Jinyu, and she immediately revealed what she knew. She even directly swore a Daoist Heart Oath to demonstrate her innocence.


    As she spoke, the remaining people like Lan Lingping also came to their senses, knowing only a Daoist Heart Oath could save them, and they began to swear oaths, stating they knew nothing about Kong Lingling¡¯s involvement with the Demon Path.


    In the end, only one person didn¡¯t swear.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze moved over, landing on a beautiful young girl with dainty brows, eyes, and pale ice-blue hair that reached her waist.


    It was Bai Cai.


    ¡°Bai Nephew seems to know about her Master¡¯s involvement with the Demon Path.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he glanced at the Bing Yun Hermit beside him. Sure enough, she frowned tightly, clearly Bai Cai was the successor she had previously mentioned.


    ¡°I dare not conceal from the Elders. When I delivered the Fasting Pill to my Master, I saw the Demonic Sacred Embryo. She also revealed to me the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation and wanted to impart it to me.¡±


    Under the scrutiny of the Nascent Souls and Golden Core Cultivators present, Bai Cai was somewhat overwhelmed. But because she knew of matters related to the Demonic Sacred Embryo, she couldn¡¯t dare to swear the Daoist Heart Oath directly.


    ¡°Did she actually impart the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation to you?¡±


    Yuan Zhen immediately asked, while Chen Mobai was observing everyone¡¯s expressions. He did not see Xue Ting; she was always assigned to farming and luckily missed this incident.


    However, according to the rules of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, all key Cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace, as well as the subordinate Sects and family forces under its command, must issue a Daoist Heart Oath. Only after verifying there were no problems would they be let go.


    ¡°My Master¡­ She only revealed the Cultivation Technique to me, without imparting it.¡±


    While answering, Bai Cai was raising her hand to swear, ensuring that every word of her response was true.


    ¡°Then do you know if she has been practicing the ways of the Demon Path?¡±


    Yuan Zhen asked again.


    ¡°I inquired about the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation. Since the form of the Demonic Sacred Embryo was odd, I felt something was amiss and harbored such suspicions.¡±


    Bai Cai¡¯s words elicited a sigh from Bing Yun Hermit, who closed her eyes.


    Chen Mobai also shook his head; with this, the guilt of Bai Cai¡¯s concealment was clearly confirmed.


    Bing Yun Hermit finally got a clean break and cleared her name. She certainly wouldn¡¯t allow herself to be tainted again for the sake of a mere Disciple.


    ¡°Knowing yet not reporting constitutes the crime of concealing and harboring. According to the rules, you are sentenced to the punishment of seven swords piercing the body. Do you have any objections?¡±


    Yuan Zhen was relatively lenient, considering that although Bai Cai knew, she did not practice the demonic cultivation methods, so she decided to spare her life.


    The punishment of seven swords piercing the body would at most cause severe damage to her vital energy.


    ¡°I have no objections!¡±


    After hearing this, Bai Cai gave a rueful smile. Then, just as Yuan Zhen was about to act, suddenly her face turned pale, and blood streamed from all seven of her orifices.


    ¡°Eh, this is backlash from the Daoist Heart Oath!¡±


    Upon seeing this scene, Saintess Yuan Zhen¡¯s face showed shock, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally watched as Bai Cai¡¯s life force ebbed away, walking towards death.


    ¡°When Master¡­told me¡­about this¡­he made me¡­also take¡­a Daoist Heart Oath, if I were to betray¡­and reveal it, I would die¡­bleeding from every orifice.¡±


    Bai Cai coughed continuously, her beautiful face twisted in agony, her entire body collapsed on the ground, fresh blood spurted from her seven orifices, quickly staining her white dress and the ground red.


    Witnessing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    After learning about Kong Lingling¡¯s matter, Bai Cai was essentially on a path to certain death.


    Even if she had become a disciple of Bing Yun Hermit, this Daoist Heart Oath would weigh on her forever, plaguing her cultivation and breakthroughs with heavy inner demons.


    Even if she were later to advance to Core Formation or even Nascent Soul, the sword of Jiutian Dangmo Sect would always be hanging over her head.


    So to say, Kong Lingling having fallen into deviltry, really did bring harm to others!


    Not only did she torment herself to death, but she also dragged a disciple with boundless prospects into the abyss.


    ¡°Associating with the Demon Path, her death is not worth lamenting.¡±


    At this time, Bing Yun Hermit snorted coldly, extended a finger, and a cold white lightning pierced directly through Bai Cai¡¯s Sea of Consciousness between her eyebrows.


    Chen Mobai watched this unfold, remaining silent.


    He, however, had made up his mind, that in the future, he would refrain from making a Daoist Heart Oath if possible.


    You still need to build a society based on trust; the Daoist Heart Oath should only be used as a last resort.


    ¡°Gather all the sect members and disciples related to Snow-blowing Palace,¡± said Saintess Yuan Zhen after seeing Bai Cai¡¯s death, shaking her head, although she also found it a pity that this talented cultivator of remarkable appearance had died because of her Master, Kong Lingling. As a person from Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she was used to such sights, and she started to give orders to the remaining people like Zhu Jinyu.


    ¡°Ensure everyone involved is assembled here within three days. Those who fail to appear shall be treated as having ties with the Demon Path, and I will personally execute them.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit seemed truly enraged this time, and gave a stern command directly at Zhu Jinyu and the others.


    Chen Mobai was probably the only one present who understood why she reacted so strongly.


    Under the threat to life, ninety-nine percent of the involved cultivators gathered at Snow-blowing Palace within three days; seven did not come.


    According to Zhu Jinyu, the messages had all been delivered.


    Since they didn¡¯t come, they were to be treated as Magic Daoist Monks.


    Bing Yun Hermit was true to her word, taking the portraits of the seven individuals and personally pursued them.


    Because Chen Mobai had previously closed all Teleportation Arrays in the various Fang Markets of Snow County ahead of time, the seven individuals didn¡¯t get far.


    Ten days later, Bing Yun Hermit returned with seven corpses.


    At this time, in the Snow-blowing Palace, every person had also taken the Daoist Heart Oath.


    As it turned out, Kong Lingling¡¯s secrecy was not bad; only Bai Cai knew.


    ¡°Let¡¯s settle it this way then, if the two of you have no objections, please sign and affix your seal.¡±


    After dealing with the matter, Saintess Yuan Zhen had her female disciple draft a document and then showed it to Chen Mobai and Bing Yun Hermit.


    ¡°Sainted Lady Yuan, as a small sect from the Eastern Wilderness, my Five Elements Sect is somewhat concerned about Ice Heaven Palace¡¯s retaliation for exposing Kong Lingling¡¯s demonic deeds.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Bai Cai having died, Chen Mobai was concerned that the agreement previously reached with Bing Yun Hermit might not hold, so he spoke out.


    ¡°In that case, perhaps Bing Yun Hermit could make a promise, after returning with me to East Land, to no longer come to the Eastern Wilderness!¡±


    Yuan Zhen thought it over and found it reasonable, so she spoke up on behalf of Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing this, Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s eyes widened immediately!


    If I don¡¯t come, how can I obtain the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu?

    Bing Yun Hermit had not expected to encounter this Supreme Treasure on her visit.


    Thus, she would need to return to Ice Palace once more to see if, among the scriptures passed down from the Holy Land, there existed a Refining Mantra for the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu.


    If not, she would have to search the other two branches.


    Moreover, she needed to come up with an excuse for such an endeavor because if the other two branches learned of it, it might be impossible for the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu to fall into her hands.


    Even if a Fifth-Level Magical Treasure were to be retrieved by a Direct Disciple, Bing Yun Hermit wouldn¡¯t feel at ease.


    In the Tianhe Realm, there were plenty of cases where disciples took their master¡¯s Legal Treasures, elixirs, and cultivation techniques and ran away.


    Therefore, she definitely couldn¡¯t agree to Yuan Zhen¡¯s request to never return to the Eastern Wilderness from now on.


    But to not agree would surely imply she harbored thoughts of revenge.


    ¡°Spiritual Sect Leader, after all, the Eastern Wilderness is the boundary of our Human Race¡¯s territories. If the Holy Land issues a decree for us from Ice Palace to send cultivators to pioneer the land, I cannot refuse to come.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit used a previously heard matter as a reason to refuse.


    After hearing this, Yuan Zhen¡¯s eyebrows knitted slightly, and she gave Bing Yun Hermit a deep look.


    Because recently, there had indeed been discussions among the Three Great Sacred Lands to reorganize a large army of Pioneer Cultivators.


    Some Nascent Soul Forces closely associated with the Sacred Lands had also been subtly notified.


    It was unexpected that the dilapidated Ice Heaven Cultivation had also received this news.


    It seemed they had underestimated them.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s set a limit of one hundred twenty years.¡±


    Yuan Zhen considered the news she¡¯d heard from the Yuan family, that two sexagenary cycles later, the Three Great Sacred Lands intended to reorganize a huge army of Pioneer Cultivators to clear an area deep within The Barren where a Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore containing True Spirit Bloodline resided.


    The reason for this time limit was mainly for this group of Taoist Saintess.


    The Dao Morale Sect¡¯s Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, required True Spirit¡¯s Blood for refinement.


    Two sexagenary cycles later, except for Yuan Zhen, all the other Taoist Saintess should be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Complete Realm.


    By then, they could just take the elixir to strike at the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    ¡°Two sexagenary cycles, isn¡¯t that a bit too long? My sect may need to come over earlier to prepare.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit would have preferred a two-year term and somewhat tactfully voiced her rejection.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s make it one sexagenary cycle.¡±


    Yuan Zhen, having caught Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s hint and considering the Innate Sun True Fire possessed by the Golden Flame Manticore which might indeed require the assistance of the three branches of Ice Heaven Cultivation to suppress, granted Bing Yun Hermit the face of letting the three branches come over in advance to secure their positions.


    ¡°Agreed!¡±


    Though she did not agree, Bing Yun Hermit, in the presence of Yuan Zhen, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s Saintess, could only reluctantly nod her head.


    Chen Mobai expressed his thanks to Yuan Zhen upon hearing this.


    Bing Yun Hermit¡¯s promise made in front of them was somewhat of a Daoist Heart Oath, but the punishment for breaching it was merely the consequence of not being able to progress in cultivation for twenty years.


    Due to the severity of a Daoist Heart Oath, when it was made, it only involved life and death under particularly important circumstances.


    And since beginning his cultivation, Chen Mobai had never made a Dao Heart Oath that involved life and death.


    Even when downloading the Primordial Yang Sword Secret from the Immortal Gate National Library, he simply ticked the agreement for privately teaching it to others, resulting in the stagnation of his cultivation for ten years.


    With sixty years of time, Chen Mobai felt he would surely be able to strike at the Nascent Soul Realm, and by then, he need not be afraid of Bing Yun Hermit anymore.


    ¡°Yuan True Person, what should we do about this Demonic Sacred Embryo?¡±


    Having gotten what he wanted, Chen Mobai asked another question.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it with me. If it contains True Spirit Bloodline, it might be infused into the Tongtian Refining Road Tower.¡±


    As Yuan Zhen spoke, she took out the Green Mirage Bottle, opened the lid towards the Demonic Sacred Embryo, and the latter was sucked in without any resistance.


    Seeing that everything was settled, Chen Mobai was very happy to invite Yuan Zhen and the others back to Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Now that the matter has been resolved, I¡¯ll return to the East Land to await the Holy Land¡¯s directive.¡±


    Bing Yun Hermit shook her head and, after greeting Yuan Zhen, turned into a white Escaping Light and vanished on the spot.


    Kong Lingling, after all, was a Golden Core Cultivator under Ice Palace and this time, with firm evidence of her engaging in Demon Path practices, once Yuan Zhen reported back, she would be punished by the Holy Land with at least a decade or two of seclusion, forbidden from recruiting disciples from the mundane world.


    Yuan Zhen thought Bing Yun Hermit was in a rush to return, probably to maneuver within the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to shorten the duration of the seclusion to the minimum time possible.


    She did not dwell on it.


    ¡°Sect Leader Zhu, this incident of Kong Lingling being possessed is surely the responsibility of your Snow-blowing Palace. As the master of the Eastern Wilderness, I sentence your sect to a seclusion of sixty years. Do you have any objections?¡±

    Before leaving, Chen Mobai questioned Zhu Jinyu. The latter nodded with a wretched expression, indicating acceptance of any punishment he deemed fit.


    It was already the best possible outcome.


    Even in Zhu Jinyu¡¯s view, it was due to the presence of Yuan Zhen, a Saintess of the Sacred Land travelling across the world, that it did not result in the Five Elements Sect taking direct action to erase Snow-blowing Palace amidst applause.


    ¡°In the future, if your Snow-blowing Palace has any essential needs, you can have Xue Ting purchase them in Northern Abyss City, and I¡¯ll make sure they are let through.¡±


    Seeing Xue Ting among a group of cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace, Chen Mobai directly granted her the sole right to travel during the period of seclusion.

 Chapter 1354 - Chapter 1354 Chapter 738 Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_2

    Chapter 1354: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_2 Chapter 1354: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_2 Zhu Jinyu naturally expressed her deepest gratitude.


    Although the Snow-blowing Palace had a Fourth-order Water Vein, with their Cultivation Level, they were hardly able to subsist on air and dew alone, still needing Spirit Rice or Fasting Pills.


    If Chen Mobai had been harsher and sealed the mountain for sixty years without providing supplies, he might have starved all the Qi Practitioners to death.


    To this, Yuan Zhen was somewhat surprised.


    Cultivators as benevolent as Chen Mobai were truly rare in her many years traversing the Tianhe Realm.


    Even Zhu Jun, who had been silently observing, was surprised enough to turn her head and glance at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Master Chen!¡±


    And Xue Ting, who had been singled out, dispelled the faint horror on her face and bowed deeply to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Mm, when you come to Northern Abyss City, you can look for E Yun. I will have given orders in advance.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai thought for a moment, took out a piece of Talisman Paper, and directly drew a Green Flame Sword Talisman on the spot for Xue Ting as a token of trust.


    Then, they all boarded the Bathing Day Golden Boat and left the area, but Chen Mobai had Fu Zongjue stay behind because soon, cultivators from Giant Tree Ridge would come to set up a Formation to encircle the Snow-blowing Palace.


    At that time, they would also dispatch cultivators from the Five Elements Meridians to rotate shifts guarding the place, ensuring the cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace couldn¡¯t escape.


    After the Snow-blowing Palace was sealed off, their external properties, such as the Spirit Stone Mines, naturally needed someone to manage to avoid falling into ruin.


    Chen Mobai was busy thanking Yuan Zhen, so these tasks had to be shouldered by Fu Zongjue.


    Without any Golden Core Cultivators, Fu Zongjue was more than enough to keep everything under control.


    Of course, after Chen Mobai left, he also stealthily hinted to Fu Zongjue that he could suggest to the Snow-blowing Palace cultivators that declaring their departure from the sect would allow them to avoid the seal.


    Based on his estimation, in about ten to twenty years, the Snow-blowing Palace would likely be empty.


    Northern Abyss City, Sky Meal Building.


    Shen Shanqing, who had just returned, personally cooked a luxurious spiritual meal for Yuan Zhen and Chen Mobai.


    However, no matter for Yuan Zhen or Zhu Jun, who were both high-ranking members of their respective sects, the meals of the Sky Meal Building were merely passable.


    Chen Mobai had anticipated this and, as a sign of his appreciation, specially instructed Zhuo Ming to bring a small jug of Rank-4 Fairy Peach Wine.


    He had also sent people to Xiao Nanshan to inspect two mature stalks of Third-order Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    These were developed by Zhuo Ming himself and weren¡¯t available in the East Land.


    So, when Yuan Zhen and Zhu Jun tasted them, both were instantly impressed.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, as far as I know, only in Back to Sky Valley here in the Eastern Wilderness is Third-order Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice cultivated. May I know which commerce association provided these new Third-order Spiritual Rice seeds?¡±


    Zhu Jun, as a higher-up of the East Barbarians from the Sun Bathing Sea, valued Third-order Spirit Rice highly and seriously inquired upon seeing the unfamiliar Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    ¡°My fellow sect member Zhou Shengqing once acquired the method for cultivating Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice from the East Barbarians at an auction. My disciple and I used it as a foundation to develop and research numerous varieties of Spiritual Bamboo Rice, this Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice is one of them.¡±


    Chen Mobai was no longer worried about revealing the Third-order Spirit Rice, so he openly explained.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice! I remember that method. When Kong Sang Valley learned of it, they snatched it up immediately, but despite their hundred years of research, they never succeeded. I didn¡¯t expect your Five Elements Sect to have developed it!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun was even more surprised.


    Among the three major factions in the East Barbarians, only Kong Sang Valley lacked a complete method for cultivating Third-order Spirit Rice. Ku Zhu was banished from their sect for this very reason.


    ¡°Hahaha, I won¡¯t say much about other things, but at least in terms of cultivating spiritual plants, my Five Elements Sect has received the true transmission from the Holy Land. Kong Sang Valley may not compare to us.¡±


    Chen Mobai proudly boasted, since they were planning to expand beyond the Eastern Wilderness and would definitely interact with the East Barbarians, he felt it was essential to showcase his resources.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this Spiritual Wine is incredible, it even seems to enhance my Cultivation Level.¡±


    Compared to Zhu Jun, Yuan Zhen focused on the Rank-4 Fairy Peach Wine.


    After all, being the Saintess of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she had never been short of something like Spirit Rice.


    ¡°This is brewed from Immortal Peach Fruits from my Xiao Nanshan, requiring one hundred and eight procedures and then cellared for thirty years before it ferments and matures¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately began to boast, emphasizing how priceless and scarce his Fairy Peach Wine was, suggesting that only someone as esteemed as Yuan Zhen would merit such hospitality.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, I was thinking of purchasing some. With this Fairy Peach Wine, I might even save a True Blood Pill.¡±

    Yuan Zhen, hearing of its limited production, showed a regretful expression.


    ¡°Since True Person Yuan likes it, Wen Bo, go and package the jug of Fairy Peach Wine from the top shelf in my Cave Dwelling and let True Person Yuan take it away.¡±


    Chen Mobai feigned generosity and instructed his senior apprentice who was waiting at the door to run the errand, to which Yuan Zhen immediately waved her hands indicating that it was dear to Chen Mobai and he should keep it.


    But in reality, Zhuo Ming still had a large half jug left over at Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai had merely asked her to bring three small jugs.


    Resolving the issue with the Snow-blowing Palace this easily was largely thanks to Yuan Zhen, who had made a special trip from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, and Chen Mobai certainly had to show his appreciation.

 Chapter 1355 - Chapter 1355 Chapter 738 Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_3

    Chapter 1355: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_3 Chapter 1355: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_3 Otherwise, if you really encounter a Magic Daoist Monk in the future, cries for help won¡¯t work.


    Yuan Zhen declined twice, but seeing Chen Mobai insist, he somewhat reluctantly accepted the offer.


    Zhu Jun, on the other hand, looked unfazed.


    She had already achieved Perfection in Core Formation, and her Spiritual Power had accumulated to the extreme. No matter what heavenly and earthly treasures she consumed, she could not enhance her power by the slightest. The next step for her was ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Yuan Zhen stayed in the Eastern Wasteland for a month.


    He processed all the accumulated reports regarding the Eastern Wasteland from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    With the help of the Five Elements Sect, the local powerhouse, it was incredibly efficient.


    They really did discover six cultivators who practiced Demonic Secret Arts. These cultivators had slipped up during their normal cultivation and were reported by those around them.


    Among them, one was even the elder of a Cultivator Family.


    Stuck in the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation for a long time, he found an Alchemy Recipe that could refine Essence Blood Foundation Building Pills in some ruins and sought ways to plunder other cultivators to refine the blood pills.


    At first, he targeted Loose Practitioner Robs Practitioner and so on, but later he crazily began to capture cultivators from rival families.


    Then, he made a slip and was directly reported.


    After Chen Mobai learned of this, he cooperated with Yuan Zhen to eradicate this family.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, there is also this anonymous report accusing you of cultivating Demonic Cultivation Techniques to break through realms so quickly.¡±


    Finally, Yuan Zhen took out a report with allegations that infuriated Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is a blatant slander. My current Cultivation Level is all thanks to my honorable and diligent Cultivation; it must be the doing of forces hostile to our Five Elements Sect. Unable to defeat us head-on, they resorted to these tactics¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect to be slandered like this. If the cultivator who wrote this libelous report were before him, he would surely dismember them with his Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Of course, I trust Sect Master Chen. Such anonymous and evidenceless reports are not accepted by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. However, since I happened to be coming here, I brought it along to show you.¡±


    Yuan Zhen said with a smile, handing over the report to Chen Mobai, who took it and decided to have the Five Elements Sect investigate who was slandering him.


    ¡°There is another matter Chen Mobai needs to be aware of. In a hundred years, the Three Great Sacred Lands may join forces to reassemble the Pioneer Cultivator army to open up the Seventh Domain, while also capturing the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore to refine the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Your location is considered a bridgehead. If managed well, the treasures uncovered in The Barren may be processed here, earning a vast amount of Spirit Stones.¡±


    Before leaving, Yuan Zhen shared this information with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Is the First Origin Dao Palace not participating?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s first thought was this.


    ¡°This matter is discussed among the Eastern Continent Divinity Transformation. The First Origin Dao Palace has no one at that stage.¡±


    Yuan Zhen spoke somewhat proudly. Currently, in the Eastern Earth Holy Land, the First Origin Dao Palace definitely lacked someone at the stage of Divinity Transformation.


    Even if True Lord Yuan¡¯s Primordial Spirit Incarnation was still present, it could not leave the First Origin Dao Palace.


    So, in this pioneering venture, the First Origin Dao Palace had no say in the distribution of the highest levels of benefit.


    ¡°Thank you, True Person Yuan, for your notification.¡±


    Chen Mobai solemnly thanked Yuan Zhen. He had not owed many favors in the Tianhe Realm so far, but he needed to remember this Saintess from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    ¡°Hopefully when we meet next time, both Sect Master Chen and I will have become Nascent Soul individuals.¡±


    When Yuan Zhen boarded the Bathing Day Golden Boat, she left this final message with Chen Mobai.


    For her, the Saintess roaming the Nine Heavens, the next visit to the Eastern Wasteland was almost certain to be during the pioneering period.


    Because she, too, needed to strive for the Sacred Spirit Pill.


    To this, Zhu Jun looked at Chen Mobai again, somewhat surprised.


    She also had high standards and perhaps would not have thought much of Yuan Zhen, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect¡¯s Saintess if she had not failed at Nascent Soul Formation.


    Although she felt Chen Mobai had good talent, she did not think he would succeed at Nascent Soul Formation.


    [It seems I will need to pay more attention to the Eastern Wasteland from now on.]


    Thinking this, Zhu Jun guided the Bathing Day Golden Boat, carrying Yuan Zhen and the others away from Northern Abyss City.


    Chen Mobai watched them leave, and a streak of clear light landed beside him¨Cit was Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing this Jiutian Dangmo Sect Saintess is on our side; otherwise, we would probably have to be on guard against Ice Palace for the next few decades.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing also breathed a sigh of relief. After becoming a Legal Body Nascent Soul, this was the first time he faced off against real Nascent Soul Cultivators and found he was no match at all aspects.

    If not for the superb defense of the Longevity Scripture and the Golden Mirage Pearl, he probably couldn¡¯t have withstood it.


    ¡°Ice Palace¡¯s Bing Yun Hermit has set a sixty-year timeframe, evidently harboring a heart of vengeance. In the coming days, I will gradually hand over all the Sect¡¯s affairs to the disciples below and concentrate on closed-door cultivation, hoping to achieve Nascent Soul within sixty years.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing could not help but nod, expressing that he would look after the Five Elements Sect while Chen Mobai cultivated.


    ¡°Also, regarding the pioneering venture, the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore is valuable to Sun Bathing Sea. Brother, you cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue, so if you could also acquire some of its essence blood, it would be greatly beneficial.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had heard of the Golden Flame Manticore, a Rank-5 Demonic beast from deep within The Barren, containing the True Dragon Bloodline and the arch-enemy of the Yellow Dragon Monster that once roamed Yunmeng River.

 Chapter 1356 - Chapter 1356 Chapter 738 Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_4

    Chapter 1356: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_4 Chapter 1356: Chapter 738: Golden Core Seventh Layer (7k)_4 Yellow Dragon was subdued by True Monarch Yuan, so it goes without saying that to carve a path to the past and to seize the Golden Flame Manticore, it would probably take the full force of divinity transformation experts from all three of the Great Sacred Lands to ensure a sure victory.


    ¡°This matter, do all that is humanly possible and leave the rest to fate,¡± even the First Origin Dao Palace has no seat at the table here, ¡°we should avoid it if we can.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, however, was exceptionally clear. The Golden Flame Manticore was evidently seen as easy prey by the three Great Sacred Lands of the East Land, and when the time came, the most precious inner core and essence blood would certainly not fall to him, a mere sect leader of the Five Elements Sect.


    Focus on the present and prepare for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After consulting with Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai, free from worries, returned to Giant Tree Ridge to begin his retreat to break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    In theory, the Fourth-Order Fire Vein of Red Sandstone City is the most suitable for breaking through.


    However, last time Chen Mobai had revealed his progress by showing his breakthrough to the Golden Core Fifth Layer to make a statement.


    Now, only five years had passed, and he was about to skip the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core. Even for someone with qualifications for deification, such a rapid pace of cultivation would be too astonishing.


    Therefore, after contemplation, he decided to break through within the familiar Giant Tree Ridge.


    On his return, the Array of Ten Thousand Woods was activated by the Formation Division, and the long-accumulated nature¡¯s spiritual energy began to flow endlessly towards his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    Soon, with the help of the supreme-grade spirit stone, the third enhancement of his Eight Yang Body¡¯s spiritual root was achieved as a matter of course.


    [Gold 23, Wood 49, Water 39, Fire 99, Earth 60]


    Looking at the number 99 for his Fire Spirit Root, Chen Mobai began to anticipate the day it would reach a perfect hundred.


    He did not know if there would be other benefits after achieving the Immortal Spirit Root.


    Unfortunately, within the Immortal Gates, the Immortal Spirit Roots are very rare, so information on this aspect could not be found externally.


    Chen Mobai had also asked Wen Ren Xuewei, an expert in spiritual roots, and she said that the essence of this content lies with the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Since historical records began within the Immortal Gates, Immortal Spirit Roots have mostly appeared after the Huashen Ancestors performed the Immortal Technique ¨C Mending the Heaven.


    There were individual cultivators who through bitter cultivation had mastered the Art of Spiritual Root and achieved this, but as exceptions, they lacked empirical data as samples.


    The Imperial Medical Academy indeed had records of these exceptions. If Chen Mobai was interested in the future, Wen Ren Xuewei could help him get in touch with the Three Extremes Sage.


    After the breakthrough of his Eight Yang Body, Chen Mobai took a trip to the Divine Tree Secret Realm for relaxation and obtained another grand spell from the Longevity Sect.


    Lucky for him, it was again a wood attribute grand spell.


    Named Dead Wood Meets Spring, it could rejuvenate nearly annihilated spirit plants with new life.


    Chen Mobai immediately thought of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple in the Tianpeng Mountain Sub-courtyard of Cloud County and wondered if applying this grand spell to it could revive the ancient tree.


    But that was a task for later.


    Chen Mobai called for Gu Yan and had her write down the newly obtained Dead Wood Meets Spring, sending her to Liu Jia Mountain to deliver it to Yin Qingmei.


    If he wanted to practice this wood element grand spell, he would need her help.


    Chen Mobai planned to let her comprehend it first, so that when they practiced the Practice Together Technique later on, they could save time.


    Moreover, this grand spell would also be greatly beneficial to combating desertification and planting trees in Rainbow County.


    Many spirit plants, even with the meticulous care of a Spirit Plant Master, often wither and cannot survive.


    With this grand spell, ¡°Dead Wood Meets Spring,¡± the survival rate of these plants could be increased by at least twenty to thirty percent.


    After dispatching Gu Yan, Chen Mobai felt well-adjusted himself, his essence, qi, and spirit reaching their peak state. He took out the complete Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Although it wasn¡¯t his first time taking it, the effect of the previously concocted dose by others couldn¡¯t be fully utilized by Chen Mobai.


    This time, however, was different. Although Yin Qingmei¡¯s bitter cultivation accounted for the majority, the key core¨CHaotian Mirror¨Cwas his Lifespan Artifact, so when the Pure Yang Purple Qi entered his body, it was easily refined by his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea began to gently quiver like a beating heart.


    With each quiver, the Dantian Qi Sea expanded by a circle, and just as it instinctively wanted to contract, a circle of purple radiance burst forth from within the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, holding the expanded Dantian Qi Sea in place.


    During this process, the purple qi also continued to merge with the spiritual power, integrating into the Dantian Qi Sea.


    Using Pure Yang Purple Qi to break through realms was a subject with hundreds, if not thousands, of experiences and insights in the Immortal Gate; Chen Mobai had read and memorized this content by heart before using it.


    Thus, he knew exactly what would happen during the breakthrough and was fully prepared.


    The scenes observed by his Divine Sense were all within his expectations.


    Amidst this slow but firm expansion, Chen Mobai felt the bottleneck of the Golden Core Sixth Layer had been resoundingly shattered.


    After the final tremor, the Dantian Qi Sea expanded significantly!


    And his originally dense Pure Yang Spiritual Power once again became sparse.


    Consequently, the Dantian Qi Sea, which had completed its expansion, showed signs of shrinking back due to the lack of solid spiritual power support.


    Chen Mobai immediately activated his External Incarnation; a huge Heavenly God silhouette illuminated behind his back, followed by the opening of a Small Void in his spine, from which stored Pure Yang Spiritual Power began to pour down slowly.


    Since this was Pure Yang Spiritual Power that he had cultivated himself, it fused perfectly with the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea without any hindrance.


    However, after breaking through the Golden Core Seventh Layer, the increase was a bit too much.


    The Pure Yang Spiritual Power stored in a single Small Void wasn¡¯t enough, so Chen Mobai opened up the second one and began to draw in pure spiritual energy from the outside world.


    It was uncertain how much time had passed when Chen Mobai felt his spirit reach its peak and could no longer control further Pure Yang Spiritual Power, so he gradually stopped the process.


    By then, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power within the Dantian Qi Sea had condensed into a fist-sized, round, brilliant Golden Core.


    Moreover, the Dantian Qi Sea had also stabilized and showed no signs of reverting.


    Finally, the Golden Core Seventh Layer!


    A sincere joy welled up inside Chen Mobai.


    It was precisely at this moment that he realized, every time he had a breakthrough in his realm, it was when his inner self felt most fulfilled.


    The joy of cultivation and self-improvement surpassed any and all desires.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help the urge to laugh out loud, and so he laughed!


    Fortunately, the Longevity Wood Dojo had activated its Array Prohibition during his seclusion, isolating any noise; otherwise, most of the Giant Tree Ridge would have heard the hearty laughter of its Sect Leader.

    After his cultivation breakthrough, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t rush to leave his seclusion.


    He took the rare opportunity to brew himself a pot of tea and began to savor it gently.


    At this moment, his only regret was that he couldn¡¯t proclaim his realm advancement at the Immortal Gate.


    Otherwise, he would have invited good friends like Qing Nu and Yan Bingxuan to join him for tea and wine, sharing the joy of entering the Golden Core Seventh Layer.


    That would probably have been the most gratifying moment of his life.

 Chapter 1357 - Chapter 1357 Chapter 739 Introspection of Oneself Observation

    Chapter 1357: Chapter 739: Introspection of Oneself, Observation of the World (7k) Chapter 1357: Chapter 739: Introspection of Oneself, Observation of the World (7k) After his breakthrough, Chen Mobai could only celebrate with Fu Zongjue at Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Junior brother is truly a prodigious talent. You have cultivated for fewer years than I have, yet while I am still in the Mid Foundation Establishment stage, you¡¯ve already broken through to the Core Formation Late Stage.¡±


    Fu Zongjue was very happy, but his words were tinged with a hint of regret.


    When he had first achieved Core Formation, he considered all other cultivators beneath him and even felt that he might reach ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± in his lifetime.


    But reality was often cruel.


    Were it not for the aid of Blood Spirit Pills, he feared he¡¯d still be stuck at the Early Golden Core Stage.


    ¡°Brother Fu has profound foundations; it¡¯s only because the advancement was delayed by the Puppetry Technique. If the focus had been solely on cultivation, the current realm would surely be higher than mine.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke modestly. Although Fu Zongjue knew it was meant to comfort him, it did improve his mood considerably.


    The two talked over drinks about recent events in the Eastern Wilderness and the sect.


    At Snow-blowing Palace, nearly a third of the cultivators chose to betray the sect before its closure.


    The leader of the deserters was someone Chen Mobai knew, Lan Lingping.


    Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t exterminate the defectors of Snow-blowing Palace as Chen Mobai had suggested.


    After leaving Snow-blowing Palace, Lan Lingping wanted to establish her own faction and chose a previous sect¡¯s Third-order Water Vein as her base.


    However, Fu Zongjue refused her.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already betrayed Snow-blowing Palace, so you have no right to inherit these assets. Since Five Elements Sect is now guarding them, we will never let the assets of Snow-blowing Palace fall into the hands of outsiders.¡±


    Lan Lingping¡¯s face fluctuated between shades of green and white upon hearing this, but she couldn¡¯t come up with any rebuttal.


    If she wanted to avoid being sealed for sixty years, betraying Snow-blowing Palace was necessary, but as a traitor, she certainly had no claim to any of its possessions.


    The main reason was the overpowering influence of Five Elements Sect.


    She could only swallow her pride, with plans to buy a Third-order Water Vein with Spirit Stones, for cultivating herself and the disciples she had brought with her.


    As the overseer Elder of the outer sect, Lan Lingping was responsible for all assets of Snow-blowing Palace, so she took many Spirit Stones and valuable resources when she left.


    Of course, this decision was made after consultation with Zhu Jinyu. As a traitor bearing all indignities, she took this group of disciples to continue the legacy, hoping that if they could produce another Golden Core Cultivator or even ¡°Nascent Soul,¡± they might be able to revive the prestige of Snow-blowing Palace.


    But Fu Zongjue hardly regarded these Spirit Stones, as for Five Elements Sect, suffocating the enemy¡¯s living space and denying them any chance to develop was the justified approach.


    Fu Zongjue gave Lan Lingping two options: either go to places like Northern Abyss City, purchase and rent a Cave Dwelling to survive, or leave the Eastern Wilderness.


    The former was akin to boiling a frog in warm water; it wouldn¡¯t be easy to make a living in Northern Abyss City with a large group of cultivators, and once integrated, it was nearly impossible to escape the control of Five Elements Sect; they¡¯d likely have to always act according to Chen Mobai¡¯s wishes.


    Leaving the Eastern Wilderness, however, was even more akin to hell mode.


    Beyond the Eastern Wilderness lay Dongwu and the East Barbarians, where one must travel through Cloud Dream Ze and The Barren to reach.


    And Lan Lingping feared that Five Elements Sect might just exterminate her and her disciples, fresh on their heels once they left¨Cthe local tactics were all too familiar to her.


    After much deliberation, Lan Lingping chose the former path.


    She led her elite disciples to Northern Abyss City to eke out a living.


    Still, she harbored another intent, which was to eventually find an island with a Spirit Vein in Cloud Dream Ze to establish a Fang Market, or even found her own sect.


    The reason for not doing so now was because Cloud Dream Ze was still embroiled in a war with demonic beasts.


    She knew full well that while the power she led was second only to Five Elements Sect and Back to Sky Valley in the Eastern Wilderness, if they were unlucky enough to encounter a Third-Order Demon Beast, they would likely face complete annihilation.


    Upon learning this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t intervene.


    Once in Beiyuan, the cutthroat competition and insidiousness of the great Immortal City would show Lan Lingping how difficult it was to gain a foothold there.


    Such a force of competent cultivators, all trained in the Water Vein Cultivation Technique, could be put to good use by Luo Yixuan. Perhaps the project to divert Dark Water could even finish a few years earlier.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai made a note of the matter, planning to have E Yun communicate with Lan Lingping, to see if she was willing to humble herself and dig water channels for irrigation.


    Besides the Fourth-order Water Vein at their headquarters, all other properties of Snow-blowing Palace had also been taken over by Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai was only concerned about the most precious medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already dispatched Quan Shanlin to take charge there; after his failure in Core Formation, it¡¯s time for him to step back. He can spend his retirement mining there.¡±

    Fu Zongjue said something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    He did not expect that during his seclusion, Quan Shanlin had already taken the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and failed quite decisively.


    ¡°What a pity¡­¡±


    To this, Chen Mobai could only express his regret.


    Fu Zongjue, however, remained neutral. After all, another of his disciples, Yin Qingmei, had succeeded in reaching Core Formation. Although the bad news of Quan Shanlin¡¯s failure was painful, it was accepted.

 Chapter 1358 - Chapter 1358 Chapter 739 Introspection of Self Observation of

    Chapter 1358: Chapter 739: Introspection of Self, Observation of the Universe (7k)_2 Chapter 1358: Chapter 739: Introspection of Self, Observation of the Universe (7k)_2 ¡°How are the other junior apprentices doing?¡±


    With five Golden Liquid Jade Pills in hand, Chen Mobai was concerned about the others.


    ¡°Three of them are in seclusion, only Quan Shanlin knew that Qing Mei had succeeded and couldn¡¯t sit still, so she immediately took it and failed in her breakthrough attempt.¡±


    This news made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief while also feeling a bit more expectant.


    The remaining three, Meng Hong, Xie Yuntian, Yue Zutao.


    He hoped there would be at least another success.


    After discussing this, Fu Zongjue brought up the selection of the new Vice Hall Master of the Penalty Evil Hall.


    Since Quan Shanlin¡¯s Core Formation had failed, even though the Golden Liquid Jade Pill had saved his life, his vital energy was severely damaged. According to Fu Zongjue, it was time to promote the new life within the sect.


    He felt Yin Qingmei was very suitable.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai had no objections, but he also mentioned that Yin Qingmei would spend most of her time at Liu Jia Mountain from now on.


    That Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, that would be her arena.


    Being the Vice Hall Master of the Penalty Evil Hall would surely just be a figurehead role for her.


    The cultivators here, although some liked power, most of them, like Chen Mobai, preferred the feeling of increasing their own strength, believing that political chores would delay their cultivation.


    ¡°Now that the Five Elements Meridians are united, The Three Great Halls should also be ready to bring all the veins together; as a Golden Core Cultivator, Qing Mei can hold her ground.¡±


    Fu Zongjue shared his true thoughts from deep within, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t anticipate that he could look so far ahead.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s planning, after uniting the Eastern Wilderness, the next step would indeed be to consolidate internally.


    By then, their Shenmu Hall would certainly return to its old name of Chaos Palace of the Five Elements Sect.


    And the Reward and Punishment Hall would be standard for all the veins; Chen Mobai also planned to have the Five Veins honor only one of The Three Great Halls from now on.


    Three Halls and Twelve Divisions would certainly be based on their Wood Vein, but if they wanted to encompass all Five Veins, these positions would have to be open to all cultivators of the Five Veins.


    The Twelve Divisions could be spared the change, but The Three Great Halls would definitely need to be controlled by their own people.


    Fu Zongjue and his disciple Yin Qingmei, as Golden Core Cultivators, taking up the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master positions of the force-centric Penalty Evil Hall, would surely leave no room for objection from the cultivators of the Five Veins.


    And with Chen Mobai at the helm of the Reward Virtue Hall, the Hall of Chaos, aside from Zhou Shengqing the Nascent Soul Cultivator, others like Zhou Ye, Nu Jiang, and Sheng Zhaoxi would surely need to be included.


    As the highest decision-making hall of the Five Elements Sect, their Wood Vein would also need to foster more Golden Core Cultivators in the future, to maintain more than half of the say.


    ¡°How about we first move Qing Mei into the Chaos Palace since she¡¯s just formed her Golden Core. Let nephew Fu Huakun take on the role of Vice Hall Master of the Penalty Evil Hall for now; if he cannot handle the competition from the other four veins in the future, then we can bring Qing Mei out to replace him as the Vice Hall Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and suggested a better plan.


    Fu Zongjue, after hearing it, nodded continuously, indicating that it was even more thorough than he had imagined.


    The same principle could be applied to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    If Yue Zutao failed in his Core Formation, Chen Mobai planned to bring E Yun back, and then arrange for Luo Yixuan to also be placed in the Chaos Palace.


    After arranging suitable candidates for The Three Great Halls, Fu Zongjue put his mind at ease and bid farewell.


    With their cultivation at this level, there were very few matters that they would personally take an interest in.


    ¡°By the way, Junior Brother, the remains of the Primordial Ancestral Master¡¯s Little Azure Dragon must still be in the Earth Vein¡¯s possession, right? If there¡¯s a chance, you can mention it to Zhou Ye and ask if I can have it for research.¡±


    On his way out, Fu Zongjue brought up a matter.


    Chen Mobai immediately nodded, indicating that he would write a letter to inquire with Zhou Ye.


    The Little Azure Dragon, as a Rank-4 Puppet, was a secret of the Longevity Sect, which Fu Zongjue had long been intrigued by, but due to insufficient cultivation, he had not been able to enter the field.


    Over the years, as he pondered the Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain, he also felt a bottleneck and wanted to relax a bit to see if he could gain some inspiration from the Little Azure Dragon.


    This matter had also been an oversight of Chen Mobai.


    As the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, the remains of the Rank-4 Puppet Little Azure Dragon should naturally be preserved by their Wood Vein.


    The only concern was whether Zhou Ye would be willing to give it up.


    But Chen Mobai thought he probably would.


    After all, Zhou Ye now had hopes for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, and for this, he was even willing to give up the orthodox righteousness of the Five Elements Sect. Although the Little Azure Dragon was precious, it was already damaged by a Ghost Cultivator and unable to be repaired or activated in his hands.


    As Chen Mobai asked for it, Zhou Ye, striving to secure his own ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, would probably consent.


    Believing he had precisely gauged Zhou Ye¡¯s mindset, Chen Mobai immediately wrote two letters.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Before long, Gu Yan, who had already returned from Liu Jia Mountain, flew over and respectfully saluted him.


    ¡°Take a trip to Northern Abyss City, give this letter to Wen Bo and ask him to send someone to deliver it to Zhou Ye in Hunyuan Immortal City. The other letter is for E Yun.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing the instructions, Gu Yan stretched out both hands to receive the letters, then promptly left the Longevity Wood Dojo, preparing to take the Teleportation Array from Giant Tree Ridge to Northern Abyss City.


    Previously, Liu Wenbo had taken the materials for the Heterodox Golden Core to Dongwu, and according to Zhang Zibo, the refinement would take at least a year.


    It was still unknown whether the transaction would go smoothly.


    Chen Mobai thought of his eldest disciple and was reminded of this matter.


    After finishing the last half cup of wine, Chen Mobai no longer relaxed and prepared to return to the Immortal Gate to properly take care of his parents.

 Chapter 1359 - Chapter 1359 739

    Chapter 1359: 739 Chapter 1359: 739 But as he was about to click on the Turtle Treasure, he suddenly remembered another very important matter.


    Soon after, he sat upright in the wooden cabin, his giant external incarnation emerging in mid-air outside the window like another Divine Tree reaching up to the clouds.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense operated, and a White Jade Crown appeared above the external incarnation¡¯s head.


    This was the Crown of Heaven and Earth!


    Before his magic duel with the Bing Yun Hermit, he had a clear enlightenment of the Dao Heart and accrued merit bagging the Telekinesis of the Eastern Wilderness World beings.


    At that time, because he was in a hurry to go to a major battle, he didn¡¯t thoroughly study the specific effects of the Crown of Heaven and Earth.


    Now, he had the time.


    Chen Mobai first contemplated the ¡°internal view of oneself¡± function of the Crown of Heaven and Earth.


    After cultivators developed divine sense, they could see inside their own bodies; as their cultivation level increased, what they could see became more detailed, even to the finest, most profound acupoints.


    So, Chen Mobai initially thought that this Crown of Heaven and Earth¡¯s ¡°internal view of oneself¡± duplicated the internal view of divine sense and wasn¡¯t very significant.


    But after careful realization, he felt he had been too superficial.


    Under the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he saw his recent breakthrough to the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core¨CPure Yang Scroll, and suddenly a detailed progress bar appeared.


    And the moment this progress bar appeared, an idea struck his mind.


    Pure Yang Scroll Core Formation Volume, Seventh Layer, 3.5%!


    That is to say, like playing a game, he could clearly see how much progress he needed to perfect the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core.


    Moreover, what amazed him even more was that this internal view function could even let him know how to cultivate to achieve perfection in the shortest time possible.


    In this, he could choose either a solid foundation for perfection or a swift perfection.


    The Crown of Heaven and Earth could offer different progress bars based on his thoughts.


    If Chen Mobai had thoughts of an elixir that could enhance his spiritual power, the progress bar could change accordingly, letting him know the probability of breaking through to the next level after achieving perfection.


    Such a miracle made Chen Mobai somewhat disbelieving; he delved deeper into it, concentrating on the progress bar of the Pure Yang Scroll and finally uncovered its mystery.


    The Crown of Heaven and Earth seemed to base itself on the knowledge within his Sea of Consciousness to form this understanding of the progress bar.


    That is to say, the progress bar and probability estimation it generated were all based on Chen Mobai¡¯s own knowledge.


    If he lacked this knowledge, then no progress bar or probability of breakthrough would appear.


    For instance, if he wanted to know his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul, since he hadn¡¯t met the preliminary requirements of essence, qi, and spirit, and also lacked understanding in this area, no detailed progress bar or probability would display.


    Chen Mobai pondered for a long time, suddenly feeling as if the Crown of Heaven and Earth had integrated the essence of the Guidance Book.


    This Divine Transformation Technique, which he could only enter during battle, had now, under the state of attaining enlightenment, been fully mastered by him.


    This was great, as he could then openly demonstrate to the Immortal Gate that he had mastered the Guidance Book.


    He wasn¡¯t worried about being exposed!


    After all, each cultivator who masters the Guidance Book develops abilities uniquely, besides the basic entry into super calculation and indifferent analysis, the rest of the higher-level skills are diverse and multifarious.


    For example, the most famous one was Elder Yuanxu¡¯s illusory simulation, almost played to perfection.


    For Chen Mobai, a candidate for deification, it was quite reasonable to develop the feature of showing the progress bar from the Guidance Book.


    Thinking thus, Chen Mobai excitedly started using the Crown of Heaven and Earth to check the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Nine Suns Body, 0.5%!


    Compared to the Golden Core, which was infused with the Pure Yang Spiritual Power of the Small Void after the breakthrough, the Pure Yang Daoist Body was much more normal; had the progress bar not shown a percentage, he might still think it was 0%.


    After checking the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai looked at the other spells he cultivated.


    Sure enough, all had the progress percentages emerging in his thoughts.


    After reviewing all the Grand Spells, Chen Mobai turned to the one he had tucked away in the corner.


    Under the Crown of Heaven and Earth¡¯s internal view, the long-sealed Sword Intent gradually cleared some mist.


    The various scriptures and knowledge of Grand Spells from the Longevity Sect in his brain were summoned by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, compared with the misty ¡°Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,¡± and began to decipher bit by bit.


    Chen Mobai looked at the still locked, murky progress bar and decided not to worry about it anymore.


    He left the internal view functioning on ¡°Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,¡± then started experimenting with the ¡°external view of the world¡± function.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this function was somewhat peculiar.


    Chen Mobai could only see various threads stretching from the East Wilderness World to the Crown of Heaven and Earth, mounted on the external incarnation.


    Confused, Chen Mobai dared not touch these threads recklessly.


    Fortunately, he discovered that many threads extended from the Crown of Heaven and Earth ended at the Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai immediately maneuvered the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and followed one of the threads, and soon discovered it was Gu Yan who had just left this place, heading towards the direction of the Teleportation Array at the Giant Tree Ridge.

 Chapter 1360 - Chapter 1360 Chapter 739 Internal Observation of Oneself

    Chapter 1360: Chapter 739: Internal Observation of Oneself, External Observation of Heaven and Earth (7k)_4 Chapter 1360: Chapter 739: Internal Observation of Oneself, External Observation of Heaven and Earth (7k)_4 ¡°Sect Leader, is there anything else you need to instruct?¡±


    Gu Yan, seeing Chen Mobai descending from the sky, displayed a surprised expression and asked respectfully as he saluted.


    ¡°Indeed, I have one more message I¡¯d like you to deliver to Ming¡¯er¡­¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai observed the lines stretching from Gu Yan¡¯s head that only he could see, and casually mentioned the message meant for Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, your disciple will certainly deliver it!¡±


    Gu Yan dared not relax, memorizing every word Chen Mobai uttered, his expression deferential.


    ¡°Very well, thank you for your efforts.¡±


    After finishing his conversation, Chen Mobai rode the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and departed from that place, and Gu Yan continued flying toward the teleportation array only after his figure had vanished into the sky.


    Following that, Chen Mobai went on to inspect the ends of the other lines.


    He discovered that cultivators from the Wood Vein mostly had this line.


    Throughout the Giant Tree Ridge, nearly everyone had either thick or thin lines above their heads.


    For those Chen Mobai knew and was familiar with, like Gu Yan and others, the lines were thick, whereas the sect¡¯s Qi cultivating disciples he couldn¡¯t even name had only a barely visible thin line.


    After roaming around the airspace of the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai returned to his Longevity Wood Dojo.


    He gazed at the Crown of Heaven and Earth placed atop his external incarnation¡¯s head, his eyes following yet another large cluster of lines to where they pointed.


    It was Beiyuan City.


    There too were many people he knew and was familiar with.


    Besides Giant Tree Ridge and Beiyuan City, almost countless lines stretched from the vast regions of the Eastern Wilderness, all tied to the Crown of Heaven and Earth.


    It was as if his external incarnation was the central hub, firmly standing in the central position, able to manipulate the life of the person at the end of these lines!


    Chen Mobai was reminded of the marionettes he saw at amusement parks during his childhood; he was now the puppet master manipulating these strings behind the scenes.


    Could he then, in a single thought, decide the fate of these puppets?


    This thought startled Chen Mobai.


    When did he immediately stop using this ¡°Appearance of Heaven and Earth¡± feature?


    To this day, he still didn¡¯t understand what use it had.


    But, as it was a power bestowed upon him during his state of Enlightenment under ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, it surely wasn¡¯t just for show.


    Chen Mobai planned to observe a person at the end of a line when he had time in the future, preferably someone close to the end of their lifespan, to see if the death of the person at the end of the line would impact him in any way.


    After studying the ¡°Internal Gaze upon One¡¯s Self¡± and ¡°External Gaze upon Heaven and Earth¡± of the Crown of Heaven and Earth, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t delay any further.


    He left behind a formless puppet, then took out his mobile phone and clicked on Turtle Treasure.


    In a flash of silver light, he opened his eyes to find himself back on the peak of Danxia Mountain.


    Encircled by the towering Biyu Wutong, which seemed like ancient and unchangeable deities, still standing tall and vigorous between heaven and earth.


    Chen Mobai took in the familiarly dense fire spiritual energy and couldn¡¯t help but stretch comfortably.


    Meanwhile, the teachers and students at the academies at the base of the mountain felt the free-floating spiritual energy in the air rushing toward the summit, gathering into splendid spiritual energy rainbows.


    Although Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t claim he had broken through to the seventh layer of the Golden Core, reaching the sixth layer posed no problem.


    Even though the time since his last breakthrough was relatively short, as a candidate for Divinity Transformation, his natural and sudden insight leading to this breakthrough made perfect sense.


    Chen Mobai had already thought it through.


    If anyone asked, he would say that after delving into the Guidance Book, his cultivation realm had also broken through.


    He even looked forward to the scene where acquaintances would ask about it.


    Unfortunately, in Red Sandstone City, he was the Supreme Emperor.


    Although he had broken through his realm again, causing a minor sensation, no one dared to congratulate him.


    Chen Mobai felt a bit lonely.


    All he could do was to make a phone call to his parents, telling them that after a long time in seclusion, he had finally mastered the Guidance Book, and his cultivation level had advanced, so he was coming out of seclusion today and was ready to return home for a meal.


    To this, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui showed more joy than their usual indifferent attitudes.


    After all, they knew the reputation of the Guidance Book.


    The Divine Transformation Technique of the Repairing Heaven Institute, the number one auxiliary cultivation method of the Immortal Gate, was mastered only by geniuses among geniuses.


    It was said that the Leading Star Ancestor managed to achieve Divinity Transformation because he found and grasped various opportunities and laws for breaking through his realm using the Guidance Book.


    ¡°Son, the Guidance Book you mastered, does it only have basic functions, or does it possess some strange abilities?¡±


    During a rare family meal at home, the very aged Tang Panchui curiously asked.


    ¡°With my talent, right after studying it at the Repairing Heaven Institute, I had already entered the introductory phase of the Guidance Book. Now that I am telling you, it certainly pertains to a higher realm.¡±


    With those words from Chen Mobai, Tang Panchui and Chen Xinglan felt immensely proud.


    ¡°The two of us giving birth to you is probably the greatest achievement for the Immortal Gate in our lives.¡±


    Chen Xinglan said sentimentally, and upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately served him a piece of fish, which he had brought from Giant Tree Ridge and which was beneficial to elemental energy.


    With his current status, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui no longer asked how he could bring so many specialties home each time.


    After all, their son was a Golden Core Master and the Supreme Emperor presiding over both cities of Danxia and Yuwu Forests, and it was quite common for other cultivators to give small gifts.


    Thanks to these nourishing foods, both Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui had almost reached the end of their lifespans, but they still looked well.


    ¡°Even if I close my eyes now, I wouldn¡¯t have any regrets.¡±


    Chen Xinglan, eating the tender and savory fish, had a face full of happiness.


    ¡°You might not have any regrets, but I still do. I haven¡¯t yet seen our son realize all his potential. They say he has the Qualification of Deification, and I must see him achieve Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Tang Panchui murmured and kept talking about her various regrets.


    ¡°Plus, I haven¡¯t seen our son get married yet. Next door, Old Hu¡¯s daughter just recently had a big chubby boy. Last time she visited, I saw her holding him, and I was so envious.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Xinglan countered quietly, ¡°Our son is now a Golden Core Master and may possibly achieve ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ and Divinity Transformation in the future. He surely shouldn¡¯t delay his cultivation for personal feelings.¡±


    ¡°I know it¡¯s because our son is too outstanding, but isn¡¯t it okay for me to wish? Isn¡¯t wishing allowed?¡± Tang Panchui¡¯s words made both father and son feel quite helpless.

    However, Chen Mobai truly enjoyed this rare moment of familial warmth.


    After the meal, as he sat by the window in his room, he was just about to continue his research on the Crown of Heaven and Earth to see if it had the same effect within the environment of the Immortal Gate.


    Suddenly, an unexpected phone call came through.


    Seeing ¡°Xiao Hei¡± displayed on the caller ID, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before answering, ¡°Hello!¡±


    ¡°Hello, hello, hello, Uncle Chen, this is Xiao Hei. Are you at home?¡±

 Chapter 1361 - Chapter 1361 Chapter 740 Her Surname is Shi (7k)

    Chapter 1361: Chapter 740: Her Surname is ¡®Shi¡¯? (7k) Chapter 1361: Chapter 740: Her Surname is ¡®Shi¡¯? (7k) ¡°I¡¯m here, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Mobai responded very naturally after hearing the voice on the phone.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, I¡¯ve passed the public service examination and just received the notice of entry for a clerical position at the Yu Wood City Forestry Administration. Thinking that you will be my immediate superior in the future, I wanted to visit you tomorrow and also thank you for the care you showed me back at school.¡±


    The crisp voice of a young girl came through the phone, leaving Chen Mobai somewhat surprised.


    Because cultivators have long lifespans, and with the effect of cultivation keeping them healthy, nearly everyone can live healthily until retirement.


    Hence, government positions within the Immortal Gate are usually a case of one open slot for each individual, and it is difficult for successors to step in before a predecessor retires.


    Those who manage to take over a position immediately upon someone¡¯s retirement are usually individuals with deep connections and backgrounds.


    Some cultivators without connections, even if they pass the examination, could end up waiting decades for an assignment.


    Hua Zijing, the former secretary of the student council at Dance Tool Dao Academy and an outstanding graduate, with the academy¡¯s support, only managed to land a post in some remote place, unable to choose freely.


    Though Chen Mobai didn¡¯t handle affairs, as the highest-ranking leader of two cities, he had reviewed every government employee list; if he remembered correctly, no one was supposed to retire this year, right?


    ¡°That¡¯s great news! Where are you now? If you¡¯re in Yu Wood City, there¡¯s no need to make a special trip. When I come over at the end of the year, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal,¡± he said.


    Chen Mobai spoke as he turned on his computer and logged onto the official website of the Yu Wood City government system. After logging into his account, he found the recent notification of public service personnel transfers:


    A clerical staff member of the Forestry Administration, Tu Qiuqiu, who was conscientious and meticulous at work, was selected by the Forestry Administration of Wangwu Cave Heaven and transferred to the Imperial City for training in preparation for a future key role.


    Due to Tu Qiuqiu¡¯s transfer for training, Yu Wood City Forestry Administration was short-staffed and appointed Xiao Hei, an exceptional graduate from Dance Tool Dao Academy, to fill the vacancy, hereby notified.


    This transfer notice came directly from the Forestry Administration of Wangwu Cave Heaven, no wonder Chen Mobai was not aware of it.


    In theory, when the Imperial City directly transfers someone and then sends a replacement, the lower-level staff should notify him, the city¡¯s highest leader. After all, for those within the official system of the Immortal Gate, such a move is quite subtle.


    But because Chen Mobai was known in the Immortal Sect for his image of talent in Bitter Cultivation, he effectively delegated authority to the two city lords, and had repeatedly emphasized that matters which could be resolved at the lower levels should not bother him.


    It was precisely this laissez-faire approach that had led to a small peak in development of the two cities during his term. Therefore, his annual performance review at Kaiyuan Hall was always excellent.


    Even though the circumstances surrounding Xiao Hei¡¯s transfer by Wangwu Cave Heaven were a bit delicate, Wen Ping thought that Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master and councilor of Kaiyuan Hall, would not possibly have any mishaps on the official level, so she followed precedent and did not report it.


    ¡°There are no flights today that go directly to Yu Wood City, so I landed in Red Sandstone City and thought I¡¯d pass by and pay a visit,¡± the girl said a bit playfully over the phone, which made Chen Mobai smile too. He then asked,


    ¡°With your background and status, wouldn¡¯t it be better for you to stay in Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    After reading the official system notification about Xiao Hei being transferred, Chen Mobai knew that someone from the highest levels must have arranged this.


    The officials at Yu Wood City Immortal Gate were speculating that Xiao Hei¡¯s family had at least a ministerial-level background.


    However, Chen Mobai was well aware that the girl¡¯s family had connections that went all the way up to the heavens.


    It must have been someone from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains who had arranged this through the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect. At the very least, the arrangement was still within the rules, hence the pretext of a transfer.


    Perhaps for other graduates of Dance Tool Dao Academy, landing a good public service position might be difficult, but for her, it probably came down to a matter of which department she wanted to join.


    Which made Chen Mobai wonder why she would come to this place far from the Imperial City.


    Certainly, it couldn¡¯t just be because he was stationed here!


    ¡°That¡¯s the situation. My mother is in Yu Wood City; her talent is average, without Foundation Establishment, so I want to accompany her through the second half of her life. After graduating from my studies in the Sea Territory, I started applying for civil service positions. Fortunately, this year there was a vacancy in the Forestry Administration, and I filled it,¡± the girl said frankly over the phone, not hiding the truth from Chen Mobai.


    Hearing her words, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression showed sudden understanding.


    So it was to fulfill her filial duty!


    That made sense!


    ¡°Your mother is also from Yu Wood City? Next time I visit, I¡¯ll pay her a courtesy call as well.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Saying this, Chen Mobai also remembered that Ancestor Baiguang was from the Yu family of Yu Wood City. Xiao Hei had been taken under the wing of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains because of this connection.


    However, Chen Mobai had only met Xiao Hei a few times and did not pry into these matters due to her association with Ancestor Baiguang.


    Wait a minute¡­


    Since she is from the Yu family, why does she have the surname ¡°Shi¡±?


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai realized this discrepancy, especially the last name, which reminded him of an embarrassing incident from his youth.

 Chapter 1362 - Chapter 1362 Chapter 740 Her Surname is Shi (7k)_2

    Chapter 1362: Chapter 740: Her Surname is ¡®Shi¡¯? (7k)_2 Chapter 1362: Chapter 740: Her Surname is ¡®Shi¡¯? (7k)_2 She also happened to have the same surname.


    Could it be¡­


    ¡°Alright, Uncle Chen, I will then wait for you at home in Yu Wood City at year¡¯s end.¡±


    At that moment, Xiao Hei¡¯s voice came through the phone, sounding somewhat disappointed after being rejected twice by Chen Mobai, and she seemed quite dejected.


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough, what I mean is, it¡¯s too late today, it¡¯s not appropriate for a young lady to come over to my place this late, how about tomorrow morning?¡±


    After considering the possibility, Chen Mobai suppressed the slight tremble in his voice, quickly changed the topic, and made amends for his previous refusals.


    ¡°Really!! Then Uncle Chen, send me your location, what time tomorrow morning, I will definitely be on time!¡±


    On the other end of the phone, Xiao Hei¡¯s mood instantly recovered, her voice full of vitality.


    ¡°Seven o¡¯clock¡­ no, whenever you find convenient. You must be tired from catching the flight tonight; rest well tonight, sleep until you naturally wake up, and when you want to come over, just give me a call.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude had completely changed, but Xiao Hei didn¡¯t notice it; she declared herself still young and promised to be there at 7 AM sharp.


    ¡°Alright, rest well, have you booked your hotel for tonight? Do you need me to make arrangements?¡±


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai¡¯s tone became very caring.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen, it¡¯s already booked, you should rest early too.¡±


    After saying goodbye, Xiao Hei on the other end hung up the phone.


    Chen Mobai immediately sent the location of his house.


    The girl quickly replied with a cute emoji saying ¡°Received!¡±


    Chen Mobai chatted with her for a couple more lines until she arrived at the hotel, then ended the conversation with some reluctance.


    He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall!


    It was twenty-three minutes past ten in the evening.


    Should be in time!


    Chen Mobai pulled up the phone number of Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yu Wood City, and called him.


    Yu Wood City.


    After the department dinner followed by some extra rounds of drinks with his small group, Wen Ping had just picked up his glass, preparing to toast with a capable subordinate, when he saw his mobile phone vibrating on the table.


    He glanced at it and his eyes widened instantly; he almost spilled his wine.


    As soon as he saw the caller ID, he picked it up speedily, asked everyone to be silent, then cast a soundproofing restriction and carefully answered the call.


    After saying a couple words, he kept nodding continuously.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡±


    ¡°Okay, no problem!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve got this!¡±


    ¡­


    At the table, the heads of other departments of Yu Wood City were somewhat astonished as they exchanged glances, unsure who the important figure was on the phone, though it had made Wen Ping lower his posture so significantly.


    ¡°Sorry everyone, something urgent came up. Let¡¯s end after this drink today; I¡¯ll host another meal for you all another day.¡±


    Once the call ended, Wen Ping straightened his expression and addressed everyone below.


    Although others were puzzled, some quick-witted ones had already guessed who the caller was, promptly finished their remaining drink, and got up to leave.


    ¡°Director Zhu, stay for a moment.¡±


    The director of the Forestry Bureau, Zhu Shiyong, was just about to grab his bag and leave when he heard Wen Ping call out.


    His face showed surprise, as he was quite on the fringe of this small group.


    But since he was the only one with the surname Zhu there, he stopped getting up, set his bag back down, and sat down again.


    Soon, only the two of them were left in the private room.


    ¡°Chen, the council member, just called. He wants to see the latest files of the clerk Xiao Hei, who was transferred to your Forestry Bureau.¡±


    Wen Ping spoke gravely to Zhu Shiyong, the director of the Forestry Bureau. Hearing this, Zhu Shiyong initially thought it was an issue not reported higher up, which might have upset Chen Mobai, causing him to slap his thigh in frustration.


    ¡°I knew it; the Imperial City headquarters wouldn¡¯t transfer someone over for no reason. Could it be they want to investigate our accounts?¡±


    Wen Ping remained silent after hearing this.


    Because Chen Mobai had controlled Yu Wood City for so long, this was the first time he had called him after ten o¡¯clock at night, and it was to look into Xiao Hei, an ordinary clerk sent over after operations by the Imperial City headquarters.


    Such an obvious signal also caused tremendous anxiety in his heart as the City Lord.


    As one of the Blessed Earth Cities with the richest southern wood resources at Immortal Gate, the yearly revenue of the Forestry Bureau was the largest portion of the official finances.


    Though restricted by various laws at Immortal Gate, it was quite easy for them to make some benefits discreetly.


    Although these benefits were taken within the rules, if someone were really to delve into it, they wouldn¡¯t have a good outcome.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure, you better prepare quickly. Councilman Chen said he¡¯s rushing over from Red Sandstone City, should arrive in about two hours.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s tone on the phone was quite urgent, so Wen Ping didn¡¯t dare to ask more, just firmly remembered the instructions commanded.


    Hearing this, Zhu Shiyong¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°This late? The councilman is coming personally?¡±


    Wen Ping looked out the window into the completely dark sky, got up impatiently, and urged Zhu Shiyong to quickly prepare Xiao Hei¡¯s files.

 Chapter 1363 - Chapter 1363 Chapter 740 Is Her Surname Shi (7k)_3

    Chapter 1363: Chapter 740: Is Her Surname ¡°Shi¡±? (7k)_3 Chapter 1363: Chapter 740: Is Her Surname ¡°Shi¡±? (7k)_3 In the official system of the Immortal Gate, there are many resources that aren¡¯t archived online.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t find any information about Shi Xiao Hei, so he decided to personally go to Yu Wood City to investigate her files.


    So after he finished the phone call, his figure flickered with a silvery glow within the room and vanished from the spot.


    Since flying inside the city without permission was prohibited, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want his overnight rush to Yu Wood City to be discovered, so he directly used the Underworld Array.


    In the city, he began teleporting in succession, even noticed by some passersby. However, he left so swiftly that many only saw a flash of silver light on the road surfaces and roof tops, then something resembling a figure.


    But as they tried to take a closer look or use Divine Sense, they found nothing.


    Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know that this incident was broadcasted by the Unsolved Mysteries radio of Red Sandstone City that night.


    After he left the city gate, he was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, directly harnessing the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, and with the fastest speed, headed toward Yu Wood City.


    Still, he was careful to stay hidden, gathering the Five-Colored Light of the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± into a black cloud.


    Under the guise of night, even if someone looked up, they wouldn¡¯t notice someone flying in the sky.


    In the office of Wen Ping in Yu Wood City.


    After Chen Mobai entered, he saw that both had empty hands and couldn¡¯t help frowning slightly.


    ¡°Where are the files?¡±


    Hearing his question, Wen Ping was somewhat embarrassed and let Zhu Shiyong explain.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, Councilor Chen, although Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s position has been transferred to our Yu Wood City Forestry Administration, her file is still at the Imperial City Forestry Administration and hasn¡¯t been transferred over. Our subordinates don¡¯t dare to rush the superiors; usually, we wait until they remember to send it over, or the employee goes to urge them.¡±


    Zhu Shiyong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai¡¯s face slightly darken, but this was indeed the official way of doing things.


    Chen Mobai said, ¡°Then bring out the Yu family¡¯s files.¡±


    Upon hearing that, cold sweat instantly broke out on Wen Ping¡¯s forehead.


    Though the Yu family in Yu Wood City had dispersed, one of their lines had produced a Huashen Ancestor, so to pull the Yu family¡¯s file, wouldn¡¯t that mean bringing out Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s file too?


    Chen Mobai was the top leader of Yu Wood City, and of course, he could look into this, but the message revealed by this request made Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong suddenly feel weak at the knees.


    ¡°Not the main Yu family, just the side branches that split off, mainly the branches that have changed their name. Bring them to me with utmost speed.¡±


    Seeing the ashen faces of Wen Ping and the others, Chen Mobai realized their concerns and immediately spoke to alleviate them.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want Shi Wanyu¡¯s existence to be exposed, so he didn¡¯t mention her name.


    But combining what he knew about Xiao Hei¡¯s background and what he had heard from Shi Wanyu in his youth¨Cthat her hometown was also Yu Wood City¨Che pinpointed the possible location of her files.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Councilor Chen, but it might take a few days because the number of people is just too vast.¡±


    After listening, Wen Ping immediately wiped the sweat from her forehead, indicating she would arrange it immediately.


    Chen Mobai looked at the time, with nearly six hours left until seven in the morning, leaving him three hours after accounting for his return to Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Where is the archive? I¡¯ll search it myself!¡±


    After hearing this, Wen Ping was even more relieved and quickly took Chen Mobai there.


    ¡°You two wait for me outside.¡±


    After Chen Mobai entered the archive, he immediately sent Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong out.


    Although he was a Golden Core Master and his Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram had broken through to the second level, giving him Divine Consciousness Intensity far surpassing Foundation Establishment Practitioners, facing Yu family archives amassed over more than three thousand years, he still found it somewhat challenging.


    Luckily, he could now enter the state of the Guidance Book at any time.


    In this state, he was like a ruthless calculating machine, starting from the origin of the family tree, and he quickly found Shi Wanyu¡¯s files.


    One hour later, Chen Mobai walked out of the archive.


    ¡°Shi Xiao Hei will report here tomorrow. She has the second greatest talent among the graduates from the Dance Tool Dao Academy after me. Since she has been assigned to Yu Wood City, the academy has instructed me to take good care of her. In the future, you two, as her superiors, do not let me lose face in the academy.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong immediately nodded repeatedly.


    They assured that in the Yu Wood City Forestry Administration, colleagues were like one big, loving family. They would take care of her like a daughter, ensuring that she would never be wronged.


    Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing this and instantly turned into a flash of silver light, vanishing from the spot.


    This scene left Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong with widened eyes in shock.


    ¡°Is this¡­ Void Walking?¡±


    Although the two were only at the Foundation Establishment level, being part of the Immortal Gate system, they had heard of this legendary technique that only Nascent Soul Cultivators were said to master.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing Chen Mobai teleport away just like that felt exactly like the Void Walk described in legends.


    They hadn¡¯t expected Councilor Chen, who was at the Golden Core Realm, to have already mastered this skill!


    Realizing this, their admiration for Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation talent grew.


    Truly a man of Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Today¡¯s matters must not be leaked in the slightest.¡±

 Chapter 1364 - Chapter 1364 Chapter 740 Does She Have the Surname Shi (7k)_4

    Chapter 1364: Chapter 740: Does She Have the Surname ¡°Shi¡±? (7k)_4 Chapter 1364: Chapter 740: Does She Have the Surname ¡°Shi¡±? (7k)_4 Both of them entered the archive to inspect it and found no signs of disturbance. As they were leaving, Wen Ping suddenly made a solemn statement to Zhu Shiyong.


    ¡°City Lord, rest assured, I understand the gravity of the situation. If this gets leaked, we two small characters will definitely be the first to be dealt with.¡±


    Zhu Shiyong smiled bitterly and nodded. People within the Immortal Gate system knew that sometimes matters that one should not delve into could be truly terrifying.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai had now become a core figure of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, one of the Golden Core Masters with the greatest power and connections in the Immortal Gate, apart from those with Nascent Souls.


    Even if it could possibly involve Ancestor Baiguang, that would be an internal affair of the Weapon Dancing Sect, something they were even less qualified to interfere with.


    However, at this moment, the two of them were also deeply shocked.


    They wondered about the origins of Teacher Xiao Hei, who was about to take up a new post. Why was Chen Mobai personally investigating the archives at night, and entrusting them to take good care of her?


    Had it not been for their clear knowledge of Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation of Pure Yang Scroll and his single status up to now, they might have suspected Teacher Xiao Hei was Chen Mobai¡¯s illegitimate daughter.


    Qing Sang Academy!


    Gu Mingxuan, who was meditating and resting at night, suddenly received a strange call.


    He frowned and hung up directly.


    But the call kept coming, and after Gu Mingxuan hung up twice, being utterly annoyed, he was about to block the number.


    ¡°I am Chen Mobai. I need to speak with you, please return my call.¡±


    Out of the blue, the strange number sent a message.


    Upon seeing this, Gu Mingxuan¡¯s pupils shrank suddenly.


    He held his phone, his face alternating between shades, but remembering Chen Mobai¡¯s power and status within the Immortal Gate, he ultimately sighed and made the call.


    Sometime later, there was a knock on the door. Gu Mingxuan, who had thrown on an overcoat, opened the door.


    The one at the door was none other than Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sorry to disturb you at this hour of the night,¡± apologized Chen Mobai as he stepped into the room. After entering, he immediately set up a soundproof restriction.


    Gu Mingxuan¡¯s number had been found by Chen Mobai on the internal campus network of Qing Sang Academy.


    As one of the academy¡¯s teachers, everyone¡¯s contact information was listed there.


    Chen Mobai had found Shi Wanyu¡¯s archival information, but it dated back to over forty years ago when she graduated to return to her hometown, documentation sent over from the Starlight Institute that had never been updated since.


    Chen Mobai went to the address listed and found it long abandoned and empty.


    He did not dare to use official means to investigate, and just as he was about to give up and return to Red Sandstone City to meet Teacher Xiao Hei, who was supposed to visit in the morning, he suddenly remembered Gu Mingxuan.


    The first time he met Shi Wanyu, he had been present as well.


    And because of that, he knew both were from Yu Wood City.


    Since Gu Mingxuan was teaching at Qing Sang Academy, and Chen Mobai still held the position of Dean there, he easily found Gu Mingxuan¡¯s contact information.


    ¡°Dean, what brings you to me so late at night?¡± asked Gu Mingxuan, though he had already guessed why after Chen Mobai entered the room.


    ¡°Indeed, do you know where Shi Wanyu is living now?¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    Just as expected!


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Gu Mingxuan let out an internal sigh.


    He hesitated for a moment, then provided an address.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Chen Mobai had not expected to obtain it so easily and sincerely thanked Gu Mingxuan.


    ¡°After she graduated, she had a child out of wedlock and refused to reveal who the father was. Her parents disapproved, finding her an embarrassment, and her life has not been easy,¡± Gu Mingxuan suddenly added just as Chen Mobai was about to leave.


    Chen Mobai, who was turning to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    The next day.


    Chen Xinglan was practicing health-preserving boxing in the living room early in the morning, a widely spread form of martial arts from the Immortal Gate, researched by the Imperial Medical Academy, best suited for activating all the muscles and joints in the body.


    When Chen Mobai used to study, he would also practice it every morning on the playground, following the lead of the instructor.


    In the kitchen, the already retired Tang Panchui was preparing breakfast, planning to make it a bit more lavish since Chen Mobai was at home today.


    Ding dong!


    Ding dong!


    Just then, the sound of the doorbell rang.


    ¡°Old Chen, open the door!¡±


    Tang Panchui thought it must be a neighbor or relative coming over for a visit, since many people, knowing Chen Mobai¡¯s different status now, would find an excuse to show their faces when they knew he was home.


    Even merely letting Chen Mobai know there was such a person was considered a big gain.


    The sound of the door opening was heard, followed by a crisp young girl¡¯s voice at the door.


    ¡°Grandpa Chen, hello, I¡¯m Xiao Hei. I called Uncle Chen last night, and he told me to come here to find him.¡±


    Hearing the young girl¡¯s vibrant and energetic voice, Tang Panchui, for some reason, spontaneously wiped her hands with her scarf and stepped out of the kitchen.


    She saw a young girl at the door, smiling and greeting Chen Xinglan.


    The morning sun was not too harsh, the slightly soft rays of light illuminated the girl¡¯s graceful and slender figure, bringing out her exquisite curves, and her waist-length, smooth black hair shone in the sunlight like a glossy lake surface, seemingly transparent.


    For some reason, upon seeing the young girl, Tang Panchui felt an extraordinary sense of affinity.


    ¡°Are you Mobai¡¯s friend? Come in and sit down, Old Chen, how can you let her stand at the door!¡±


    Tang Panchui immediately invited Xiao Hei in, while the latter half of the sentence was a reproach to Chen Xinglan.


    ¡°Thank you, Grandma. I¡¯m Shi Xiao Hei, who passed the exam this year and came to Yu Wood City¡¯s Forestry Bureau to work as a clerk. Uncle Chen took great care of me at school, and now, since he is my immediate boss, I came over immediately to visit him after my appointment.¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei spoke with a smile on her face, then set down a basket of fruit she¡¯d been carrying on the living room table.


    ¡°You child, it¡¯s enough that you came, why bring something with you?¡±


    Tang Panchui saw the fruit and chided gently, to which Xiao Hei quickly responded that it was just a small token of her appreciation.


    ¡°Come, come, take a seat. Old Chen, go upstairs and call your son. Since an appointment has been made, why is he still in bed?¡±


    Tang Panchui¡¯s tone made Chen Xinglan give a wry smile as he went upstairs.


    He knocked twice on Chen Mobai¡¯s door, then called out a couple of times.


    However, after waiting a bit, there was no response.


    Chen Xinglan looked puzzled, preparing to go downstairs to call Chen Mobai when suddenly, the door opened.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Chen Xinglan looked at Chen Mobai who was coming out, puzzled.


    Because his cultivation level had broken through early, Chen Mobai had always maintained a youthful appearance. He usually dressed quite casually, but today he had specially combed a mature slicked-back hairstyle and was wearing a rare formal suit.


    However, Chen Xinglan, upon reflection, realized that since Chen Mobai was a leader, it was proper for him to appear mature when meeting with his subordinates.


    Yet he failed to notice that the Chen Mobai coming down the stairs, upon seeing the vibrant young girl in the living room, tensed up and seemed a bit nervous.


    ¡°Here I am.¡±

    Chen Mobai greeted the girl sitting on the sofa as if naturally, and the girl immediately stood up to greet him.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, from now on I¡¯ll be working under you. Please take good care of me!¡±


    After hearing her, Chen Mobai nodded immediately, indicating that there was no problem.


    ¡°Though I don¡¯t manage affairs, my words still carry weight. I already gave Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong a heads up last night. No one will dare to give you a hard time.¡±

 Chapter 1365 - Chapter 1365 Chapter 741 Conversation Along the Way (7K)

    Chapter 1365: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K) Chapter 1365: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K) Chen Mobai suppressed the indescribable emotions that surged inside him and, looking at the lively young girl smiling and squinting her eyes as she spoke to him, suddenly felt a deep sense of satisfaction.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, it¡¯s about time for me to go, I need to catch the train, so I¡¯ll leave now.¡±


    About an hour later, the girl checked the time on her phone screen, and got up, ready to bid farewell.


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth, wanting to ask her to stay, but couldn¡¯t think of an excuse.


    ¡°How about having breakfast before you go?¡±


    Just then, Tang Panchui, who was in the kitchen, heard the stir and came out. She had just finished preparing breakfast and immediately invited the girl over.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Xiao Hei hesitated and was about to refuse when Chen Mobai spoke.


    ¡°Have something to eat before you go, it won¡¯t delay you much, I¡¯ll personally take you to the station.¡±


    Although it felt a bit abrupt, since Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master, had spoken, Xiao Hei could only nod her head and expressed her gratitude to Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Son, here are the car keys, but you haven¡¯t driven in decades, maybe I should take you later.¡±


    While the family of four was eating breakfast, Chen Xinglan spoke.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was about to shake his head and refuse, but quickly remembered something and nodded.


    Although his driver¡¯s license had been unused for decades, with his current learning abilities, especially with his expertise in the Guidance Book, he could master driving to the highest level in the blink of an eye.


    However, he remembered that he also had matters to attend to in Yu Wood City, so it would be convenient to go with Xiao Hei in the same car later.


    It would be a good opportunity for Chen Xinglan to give them a ride.


    ¡°Grandma, we¡¯ll be going now. Goodbye Uncle Chen, and thanks a lot, Grandpa Chen!¡±


    After finishing breakfast, Xiao Hei very politely said goodbye to all three, wishing them well.


    ¡°Ah, I also have some matters to handle at Qing Sang Academy, which train are you taking?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s question surprised the three people who were present.


    Especially Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui, who hadn¡¯t seen Chen Mobai take initiative to deal with Qing Sang Academy¡¯s affairs in recent years, as issues were usually resolved over the phone in just a few words.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter that requires the principal himself to go?¡±


    Tang Panchui was worried that something serious had happened.


    ¡°Recently, Mysterious Frost Company has hit a bottleneck in its development. I¡¯m planning to again expand the enrollment scale for the Yuanqi system because I¡¯m afraid the staff won¡¯t handle it seriously; I need to oversee it personally.¡±


    Chen Mobai made up an excuse; the last time he interfered with the operation of Qing Sang Academy was to cultivate a reserve force for Yan Bingxuan¡¯s company by adding the Yuanqi system into the academy¡¯s curriculum.


    Now, he could only use this excuse.


    Mainly because he was completely clueless about the official affairs of Yu Wood City, and Xiao Hei, being a public servant, might detect any ulterior motives if he gave a bureaucratic excuse.


    ¡°It¡¯s the xxxx, I think there were no compartments left when I previously booked.¡±


    As they talked, Chen Xinglan had driven the car out from the garage. Xiao Hei was just about to handle her large suitcase and open the trunk, but Chen Mobai was already steps ahead.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen!¡±


    Xiao Hei sat in the back seat, and upon seeing Chen Mobai place the luggage and seat himself in the passenger¡¯s seat, she immediately expressed her gratitude.


    ¡°As expected, there are no private compartments left.¡±


    Chen Mobai used his own phone to book tickets and found, as Xiao Hei had mentioned, there were none available.


    ¡°The train should have spare compartments; with your status, Uncle, the attendants should be able to prepare one for you.¡±


    Xiao Hei suggested this, but Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, continuing to humble himself in front of her.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always disliked luxury; I don¡¯t want to trouble the attendants. Let¡¯s just get a standing ticket and stand in the aisle for a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai conveyed his image as a Golden Core Master and a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, yet humble and loving towards the people.


    ¡°Then, why don¡¯t I give my compartment seat to you, Uncle, and I¡¯ll sit in the dining car? It won¡¯t be for long.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t possibly accept this and shook his head again, showing that he wasn¡¯t such a person.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, Uncle, you can join me in my compartment?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for this invitation, suppressed the urge to nod immediately, pretended to consider thoughtfully for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.


    ¡°Traveling with this old man for a journey, I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°Not at all, Uncle, you look very young. Considering your realm, you¡¯re just like a youth of seventeen or eighteen.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at his excessively young face in the rearview mirror. Even his mature hairstyle and outfit couldn¡¯t mask his vibrant, youthful vigor.


    ¡°Hahahaha!¡±


    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, a response he wouldn¡¯t have had if anyone else had said the same thing.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Soon, they arrived at the station.


    After helping Xiao Hei with her large suitcase, Chen Mobai thought about how to properly provide her with a Storage Artifact.


    ¡°What is your Cultivation Level now? Have you tried to open a Domain?¡±


    After saying goodbye to Chen Xinglan, Chen Mobai, with gentleman-like grace, pushed the luggage cart alongside Xiao Hei as they entered the security checkpoint, asking as they walked.


    ¡°I just broke through to the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, but because I still need to cultivate the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots, my progress has been delayed for a while. Regarding the Domain, I last opened it just seven years ago. I guess it might still take another ten to twenty years before I can open it again.¡±

 Chapter 1366 - Chapter 1366 Chapter 741 A Conversation Along the Way (7K)_2

    Chapter 1366: Chapter 741 A Conversation Along the Way (7K)_2 Chapter 1366: Chapter 741 A Conversation Along the Way (7K)_2 Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, that of a Pure Yin Body, ranked amongst the very highest spiritual bodies within the Immortal Gate. However, because her Spiritual Root was in conflict, her primary goal was to elevate her own Water Spirit Root. Therefore, although she had access to top-tier resources both at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the Sea Territory, her Cultivation Progress was significantly hindered.


    ¡°After you achieve Foundation Establishment Completion, if you want to try opening the Golden Core Domain, I can attempt to contact a few Nascent Soul Superiors, they might just do me the favor.¡±


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment before making this suggestion.


    Opening a Portal requires the time of a Nascent Soul Superior, so it¡¯s common practice to accumulate a large group of cultivators who have reached Foundation Establishment Completion or new Core Formation achievers before arrangements begin.


    Upon hearing this, however, Xiao Hei, his apprentice, shook her head repeatedly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just go with the flow, and besides, I don¡¯t feel I have any talent for the Space Path.¡±


    Being a member of Wangxian Peak, she had been tested for various talents since she was young and knew very well that her affinity with the Power of the Void was not strong, making the possibility of opening a Domain at the Foundation Building Realm very slim.


    ¡°Talent is something that can be achieved through hard work and perseverance.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded proudly after hearing her words.


    ¡°That¡¯s something only Uncle could say.¡±


    Xiao Hei playfully retorted after hearing his comment.


    At this time, the two of them had already passed ticket inspection and boarded the carriage.


    Since Chen Mobai had a standing-room-only ticket, his entrance into Xiao Hei¡¯s compartment drew attention from a nearby attendant.


    The attendant even came over to check, and upon seeing the name on Chen Mobai¡¯s ticket, his pupils constricted. He took a closer look at the familiar face, albeit with a different hairstyle, and became noticeably anxious.


    ¡°Representative Chen, I will arrange¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly raised his hand to stop the attendant, indicating that he remembered he had something to do in Yu Wood City and did not need any special treatment.


    ¡°Yes, yes, if you need anything, just call me.¡±


    With utmost politeness, the attendant escorted Chen Mobai and Xiao Hei into the compartment and even offered to carry their large suitcase, but Chen Mobai declined.


    After entering the compartment, Chen Mobai, who was very familiar with its layout, settled his luggage and then sat down on the sofa by the window.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, let me make you a cup of tea.¡±


    Xiao Hei immediately took the tea set from above and prepared to fetch water, but Chen Mobai stood up, indicating he would do it himself.


    With a wave of his hand toward the table, a flash of silver light shimmered, and his usual tea set descended from the Domain.


    Xiao Hei, witnessing this scene, was full of longing.


    Opening the Golden Core Domain at the Foundation Building Realm was also one of the legends verifying Chen Mobai¡¯s Qualification of Deification.


    The water Chen Mobai used for tea was gathered by cultivators of the Five Elements Sect from a celestial lake atop a snowy mountain, inherently bringing a refreshing chill. Brewing this water to infuse the Snow Needle Immortal Bud was considered unparalleled.


    Before long, the two were sitting opposite each other on the sofa by the window. Xiao Hei, smelling the freshly brewed Spiritual Tea, its fresh and elegant aroma, couldn¡¯t help but close her eyes and indulge.


    ¡°This tea is really good!¡±


    After taking a small sip, Xiao Hei immediately brightened up, feeling as though her Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had been cleansed and refreshed.


    ¡°This is a type of wild tea named Snow Needle Immortal Bud. I found it by chance deep in the Taixu Mountain Range close to my hometown. Regular consumption can enhance Divine Sense and clear the Purple Palace. If you like it, take this jar with you when we get off.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed Xiao Hei a jar of tea leaves given to him by the Snow Peak Bai Family, but she repeatedly refused.


    ¡°This wild tea isn¡¯t worth much. Consider it my thanks for letting me share the compartment¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai persuaded her. After unifying the Five Elements Meridians, the Snow Peak Bai Family somehow found out he was collecting various tea trees across the Eastern Wilderness and immediately came to him, offering an ancient tea tree, a Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud, that had been in their family collection for a millennium.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t accept. He wasn¡¯t that kind of person!


    But the Elder Bai Dingxian of the Bai family expressed a wish to exchange the ancient Snow Needle Immortal Bud tea tree for some Foundation Building Pills.


    Since he used this excuse, Chen Mobai found it hard to refuse and agreed on the spot.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s Mother Earth Cultivation had reached Perfection, and she could transform the land on Xiao Nanshan to suit the cultivation of Snow Needle Immortal Bud, a suitable cold soil of Snow Peak.


    When the Snow Needle Immortal Bud was indeed transplanted, Bai Dingxian had many regrets.


    In reality, by offering the Snow Needle Immortal Bud to Chen Mobai, he intended primarily to express a stance, especially during the time when the Five Elements Sect was collecting tea trees everywhere.


    Since the Snow Needle Immortal Bud could only grow in his family¡¯s environmental territory, showing Chen Mobai the attitude of the Snow Peak Bai Family, even if the Snow Needle Immortal Bud was nominally under the Five Elements Sect, his plan was for it not to be transplanted and still have it under their care.


    Little did he know Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Mother Cultivation was so formidable.

    But by that time, it was too late for regrets.


    Still, the Snow Peak Bai Family did not walk away empty-handed.


    Chen Mobai specifically gave ten Taoist Talisman Papers to Bai Dingxian, each of which could be exchanged unconditionally at the Five Elements Sect for one Foundation Building Pill.


    Within the next hundred years, the Snow Peak Bai Family would not have to worry about Foundation Building Pills.


    Within his regret, Bai Dingxian immediately exchanged five Foundation Building Pills on the spot to placate the family Elders unhappy with him over the matter.

 Chapter 1367 - Chapter 1367 Chapter 741 Conversation Along the Way (7K)_3

    Chapter 1367: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_3 Chapter 1367: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_3 It is said that these five Foundation Building Pills helped a young elder successfully achieve Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay much attention to the matters that followed.


    Even the task of the Enlightenment Tea Tree absorbing the essence of the Snow Needle Immortal Bud was managed single-handedly by Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Then I thank you, Uncle Chen.¡±


    After refusing twice, seeing that Chen Mobai was sincerely polite, Xiao Hei accepted it.


    Mostly because she truly felt that this tea was useful for her cultivation. After all, due to her Spiritual Root, she could only practice Five Elements Cultivation, progressing slowly, but there were no such issues with her Divine Sense.


    ¡°You¡¯re practicing Five Elements Cultivation. My friends and I opened a Mysterious Frost Company that uses a Formless Puppet to refine the Five Elements Essence, all of which is extremely pure and easy to refine. Do you want me to get you some, so you can achieve Foundation Establishment Completion in the shortest time?¡±


    After giving her the tea leaves, Chen Mobai thought of his own condition at her age, already preparing resources for Core Formation, and couldn¡¯t help offering to help her complete the realm of Foundation Establishment first.


    However, Xiao Hei shook her head repeatedly, not caring much for it.


    After all, within the Immortal Gate, only the major realms made a big difference.


    Even if she could achieve Foundation Establishment Completion quickly, she would still need to wait for the opportunity to obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Pill due to seniority, so for the advancement of her realm, she took it in stride, focusing most of her efforts on enhancing her own Water Spirit Root.


    ¡°Actually, advancing quickly in realm is good too. That way you can dedicate some energy to other interests.¡±


    As a member of the Sect of Realms, Chen Mobai began to instill his own philosophy in the young girl.


    ¡°No need, Uncle Chen. My grandma said I am at a late stage already. Due to my Spiritual Root, cultivation will definitely be slower in the early stages, but once the Spiritual Root is upgraded and purified, I can at least reach the stage of ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯ in the future, even if I can¡¯t compare to the Yuanyang Ancestor!¡±


    But who would have known that Xiao Hei had a completely different philosophy, in fact, she belonged to the Foundation Faction!


    Chen Mobai completely disagreed with Yu Huiping¡¯s statement.


    As someone with a Pure Yin Body, as long as her Spiritual Root matched, she was essentially a female version of the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    Although there was no Divinity Transformation Technique suitable for a Pure Yin attribute within the Immortal Gate, once the young girl reached Nascent Soul, whether it¡¯s the Liu Yu Scripture or the Jade Purity Scripture, she would have suitable paths toward deification to ponder upon.


    ¡°As a cultivator, possessing an unyielding spirit, from the first day I started Qi Cultivation, I had just one goal for myself, and that is to ascend to become Immortals!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words carried convincing power.


    ¡°Uncle has the Qualification of Deification, but I am different.¡±


    Seeing the look of admiration in Xiao Hei¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai felt his vanity satisfied, but he wasn¡¯t quite pleased with the second half of her sentence.


    ¡°What level has your Spiritual Root reached now?¡±


    Chen Mobai began inquiring about the key factor that shackled the speed of her cultivation.


    Theoretically speaking, after so many years of study in the Sea Territory, given the background of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, she shouldn¡¯t lack resources. Her Water Spirit Root should at least be above 60 points, right?


    ¡°Two years ago when I graduated, the Spiritual Venerable bestowed Heavenly Realm Pure Water upon me. Under my grandma¡¯s protection, I refined half a bottle of the Heavenly Realm Pure Water on Wangxian Peak, and now my Water Spirit Root is exactly at 80 points.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth fell slightly agape.


    He had been thinking about what excuse to use to invite her to eat fish daily and then explain why the Water Spirit Root would increase after eating the fish.


    It turned out that his plan was unnecessary.


    It just goes to show the resources of Wangxian Peak; even the Sea Territory¡¯s Spiritual Venerable had to pay respect to Ancestor Baiguang.


    The last time I heard about someone from the Immortal Gate going to the Sea Territory for study and receiving Heavenly Realm Pure Water was the current Righteous Law Hall Master.


    And because of that, Master Shuixian graduated and entered the Hall of Orthodox Law. She¡¯s now even taken charge of the Military Department and is just waiting for the Immortal Gate¡¯s change-over to officially take over as the new Righteous Law Hall Master.


    ¡°So, you have already achieved the Heavenly Water Spirit Root. Are you planning to switch to a different cultivation technique? Tell me about it, I can give you some advice.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke again, wanting to showcase his usefulness.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, I¡¯m at a late stage. I need to build a strong foundation for both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, so according to my grandma¡¯s wishes, I¡¯m going to continue practicing Five Elements Cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a mix of surprise and anger: ¡°Why waste time continuing with Five Elements Cultivation?¡±


    Although in the Immortal Gate, because of the long wait for Spiritual Medicines needed to break through major realms, many people practice the Art of Spiritual Root to kill time and improve themselves.

    But as someone from Wangxian Peak, Xiao Hei only needed to cultivate step by step, and with his help, it would be easy for her to quickly obtain the breakthrough Spiritual Medicines. There really was no need to linger on Five Elements Cultivation with a Heavenly Water Spirit Root.


    If it really came down to it, he could just open a mystery box and get her the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    She can¡¯t be this late in the stages!


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is, Uncle Chen. My Water Spirit Root, though it¡¯s surpassed 80, I¡¯m also planning to transform it into an Ice Spirit Root. Once both Ice and Water Spirit Roots are over 80, if I then switch to practicing the Liu Yu Scripture, I could utilize up to eighty or ninety percent of my Pure Yin Body. As long as I manage to practice the Liu Yu Scripture, I¡¯m confident I have a two or three in ten chance of Nascent Soul Formation, and there¡¯s even a glimmer of hope for Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Facing Chen Mobai, Xiao Hei had an instinctive trust in him, so upon seeing his frown, she couldn¡¯t help but speak out her most crucial secret plan.

 Chapter 1368 - Chapter 1368 Chapter 741 Conversation Along the Way (7K)_4

    Chapter 1368: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_4 Chapter 1368: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_4 ¡°So it turns out I was thinking too narrowly,¡± Chen Mobai reflected after hearing the explanation, feeling somewhat ashamed of himself.


    Wangxian Peak, after all, was where Ancestor Baiguang resided, and his realm far surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s. Xiao Hei had been educated there since childhood, and the path of cultivation arranged for her was undoubtedly the most suitable and the best for her.


    It seemed his concern had clouded his judgment, allowing him to see only what was before him.


    However, this was also the greatest contradiction between the Sect of Realms and the Foundation Faction.


    For someone like Xiao Hei, with a substantial background, pursuing a foundation was possible because there was no need to worry about anything before the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± stage.


    It was different for a child from a poor family, where every resource for cultivation was fiercely contested from the Tianhe Realm, focusing primarily on elevating the realm.


    Speaking of Ice Spirit Roots, Chen Mobai remembered his good friend Yan Bingxuan and suddenly realized something unsettling.


    In terms of the enhancement of Spiritual Roots, he was practically an expert within the Immortal Gate.


    Now, the combined sum of his Five Elements Spiritual Roots was absolutely top-ranked.


    Perhaps only Wen Ren Xuewei with her Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root could briefly match his brilliance.


    And he was confident that in the future, he would elevate it to an unprecedented level.


    With the vast resources of the Tianhe Realm, he even wondered if one day, cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit with a Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root would be incredibly smooth.


    ¡°Ice Spirit Root isn¡¯t that a fusion of ¡°Gold Water Spiritual Roots¡±? Wouldn¡¯t that harm your Water Spirit Root?¡±


    His Pure Yang Daoist Body required damaging the Wood Attribute to enhance the Fire Spirit Root.


    If Xiao Hei tried to integrate to form the Ice Spirit Root, harming the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root that had just been enhanced to 80 points, wouldn¡¯t that be putting the cart before the horse?


    ¡°It¡¯s okay uncle, I still have half a bottle of Heavenly Realm Pure Water, and granny has calculated it. When my Water Spirit Root is damaged to 40 points and I take it again, it will recover back to the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. In this case, my Ice Spirit Root can only be enhanced to around 40 points in a short term, but since I¡¯m still young, I can just cultivate it well by myself later.¡±


    Xiao Hei didn¡¯t consider Chen Mobai an outsider at all and shared her most secretive cultivation details with him.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately felt it was time for him to make a difference.


    He started planning how to legally and reasonably ¡®launder¡¯ Azure Blood Carps from the Tianhe Realm and give them to Xiao Hei.


    And also the Ice Marrow Pure Jade and Water Mist Ice Crystals from Kong Lingling¡¯s storage bag¨Cboth heavenly and earthly treasures hugely beneficial for the Water and Ice Spirit Roots.


    By the time Xiao Hei was ready for Core Formation, it would seem like they just came out of a Void Blind Box.


    And the Water Spirit Beads¨Chaving given too few to Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo previously, it seemed he still had dozens left. Maybe he could find an excuse to string them into a necklace or bracelet as a birthday gift for her.


    Chen Mobai reviewed all the spiritual objects related to Ice and Water attributes he possessed, devising plans on how to legitimately ¡®whitewash¡¯ them within the bounds of the Immortal Gate.


    Was there not also a Water Attribute Spirit Fruit?


    Chen Mobai recalled another treasure he cherished.


    However, upon consideration, he decided to restrain himself.


    That item wouldn¡¯t be needed by Luo Yixuan for her Core Formation; better to save it for Qing Nu.


    She suffered much discrimination within the Immortal Gate and might not be able to exchange for the top-quality Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine Golden Liquid Jade Pill. But he could probably arrange for the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill with his connections, and adding the Water Attribute Spirit Fruit, Qing Nu could avoid utilizing the base of her Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    After all, besides Wen Ren Xuewei, who might live longer than he would, Qing Nu was the most likely to keep pace with his cultivation progress.


    He still needed to avoid playing favorites.


    And there was still verification.


    After reaching Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai planned to find Shi Wanyu and inquire more carefully if the young girl before him was truly his daughter.


    Chen Mobai had indeed considered secretly obtaining a drop of Teacher Xiao Hei¡¯s blood and going to the hospital for a paternity test.


    However, in the Immortal Gate, even though he was a Golden Core Master, paternity tests still required real-name registration and both parties had to be present.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s status, pulling some strings and leveraging his connections might allow him to conduct the test in secret.


    But if he went down that path, a third party would become aware of the matter.


    Any secret known to someone other than oneself is no longer a secret.


    Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Mobai decided to abandon this idea for the time being.


    If Shi Wanyu failed to yield any results, he would then seek Ren Xuewei¡¯s help, even if it meant destroying her public persona, to assist with a paternity test at the Imperial Medical Academy.


    Is she truly his own daughter?


    With a heart full of apprehension, Chen Mobai chatted with the cheerful young girl opposite him, wanting to ask her about her views on her father, yet fearing he might hear something that would unsettle his Dao Heart, he ultimately refrained from raising the topic.


    The two conversed freely in the private compartment, Chen Mobai trying to showcase his abilities, but Teacher Xiao Hei had long since had all her affairs arranged by Wangxian Peak.


    It was only her decision to attend the Dance Tool Dao Academy during university, which was slightly rebellious, and her plan to return home to serve her mother after studying in the Sea Territory, that were her own choices.


    All of Chen Mobai¡¯s expertise in guiding cultivation and the like were useless to someone for whom the path to Heaven had been fully laid out.


    While chatting, Chen Mobai realized he was somewhat unable to keep up with the girl.


    The hot gossip and celebrity searches she talked about were completely foreign to him.


    Because in his life at the Immortal Gate, he had been truly committed to bitter cultivation!


    He did stay informed about the various affairs concerning his two scholarly mansions, governance of two cities, and even the Three Great Halls and the Four Great Daoist Sects whenever he emerged from seclusion.


    But he was genuinely clueless about the trivial matters the girl discussed.


    He was becoming a bit out of touch with modern life!


    Chen Mobai admonished himself internally, deciding to make time to catch up on news and search trends from now on.


    ¡°Recently, Senior Sister Meng plans to return to her alma mater at Dance Tool Dao Academy, rumored to perform three songs, and she may even hold a concert in Red City Cave Heaven!¡±


    Finally, Teacher Xiao Hei mentioned someone Chen Mobai knew.


    ¡°Senior Sister Meng Huang, right? I¡¯m well acquainted with her. We attended Daoist Academy one after another, and coincidentally¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately began sharing stories about how he and Meng Huang had come to know, socialize, and ultimately cleared up misunderstandings to become good friends.


    Of course, he omitted details that were inappropriate to share with a child.


    ¡°After my Core Formation, the friends who kept in touch were few, and Senior Sister Meng was one of them.¡±


    ¡°Whenever I went to Wangwu Cave Heaven to report, or she happened to pass through Danxia and Yu Wood City, we would always make time to meet.¡±

    ¡°We are the best of friends who truly understand each other.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s story, Teacher Xiao Hei looked envious. She had made a few friends at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but had mostly lost touch with them over the years.


    ¡°I really envy the lasting friendship between Uncle Chen and Senior Sister Meng.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened and let out an awkward laugh.


    Fortunately, it was then that the train arrived at the station.

 Chapter 1369 - Chapter 1369 Chapter 742 Confirming Its a Daughter (7K)

    Chapter 1369: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s a Daughter (7K) Chapter 1369: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s a Daughter (7K) After checking out of the train station in Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai and the apprentice Xiao Hei bid each other farewell and went their separate ways.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, if you¡¯re coming over one day, let me know in advance.¡±


    Xiao Hei, full of energy, waved to him and then boarded the car Chen Mobai had called for her.


    According to previous plans, Chen Mobai was now supposed to head to Qing Sang Academy.


    However, after seeing off Xiao Hei, he directly vanished from the spot using his teleportation ability.


    Last night, upon receiving Shi Wanyu¡¯s address, he had rushed over immediately.


    But it was far too late.


    Sensing the steady breathing of the person asleep inside the house, he remained silent for a long time before eventually deciding to leave first.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s feelings for Shi Wanyu were very complex. After so many years, that incident from the past was still the most unspeakable matter of his cultivation journey.


    He hadn¡¯t been tricked and taken advantage of many times in his life, but the impression this time left was the deepest.


    He had thought that as time passed, by one hundred years later when Shi Wanyu passed away in meditation, he would be able to face it with a calm heart.


    But who could have known¡­


    In the sea of his heart, memories began to surface of his youthful days with Shi Wanyu, their acquaintance, exchanges, and eventually how they became strangers.


    With his current level of cultivation, as long as he thought back, he could recall every detail of what he had experienced.


    Amid consecutive teleportations, he arrived at the entrance of a flower shop.


    The name of the flower shop was ¡°Brushing Dawn.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai silently paused for a moment.


    After graduating from Starlight Institute, Shi Wanyu, because of her pregnancy, wasn¡¯t able to establish her Foundation but was exempted from military service.


    However, because she had a child out of wedlock, she was despised by her parents back in her hometown.


    Still, she was their flesh and blood, so when Xiao Hei was born with the Nine Yin Meridian, her mother immediately sought help from the Yu family.


    Later, Xiao Hei was personally taken away by Yu Huiping, who also asked the Yu family to take good care of Shi Wanyu, the mother, promising a reunion of mother and daughter once Xiao Hei¡¯s fatal condition was cured.


    After that, it was likely that every year, Shi Wanyu would visit the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to see Xiao Hei for a month.


    Hence, the mother and daughter had a very good relationship.


    Chen Mobai had also inquired about Shi Wanyu¡¯s life in Yu Wood City through Gu Mingxuan. Despite the stain on her reputation for having a child out of wedlock, she was still beautiful and had the Yu family¡¯s backing, so there were quite a few suitors.


    Some of these suitors were willing to accept Xiao Hei, the ¡°tag-along.¡±


    However, Shi Wanyu had refused them all.


    She used her savings and her parents¡¯ support to open a flower shop to enjoy life.


    Though she couldn¡¯t be wealthy, she could still maintain her life.


    The location of the flower shop was her own choice, with the first floor for customers and the second as her residence. There was also a third-floor loft, reserved for Xiao Hei.


    Chen Mobai, through the glass door, watched the bustling figure inside, gathering his somewhat scattered emotions.


    He checked the time, knowing that it would take about an hour for Xiao Hei to come over by car from the train station.


    But since he had arranged the driver, they would take a longer route, adding another half hour.


    It was enough time for him to meet with an old friend.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai lightly pushed open the glass door.


    Ding-ling-ling!


    The chime of the bell at the entrance, a restriction, rang out, signaling to the shop owner that a customer had come in.


    ¡°Welcome¡­¡±


    Shi Wanyu heard the sound of the bell and continued to cut the bright ice-blue roses without pause, but her snow-white neck was lifted, and she greeted the incoming customer with a professional smile.


    But when she saw Chen Mobai walking in, she was stunned in place.


    The rose and the scissors in her hand lost control and fell from her palm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure flashed with silver light as he teleported in front of Shi Wanyu and caught the falling scissors and rose.


    ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    After exchanging glances and remaining silent for a long time, it was still Chen Mobai who took the initiative to speak. As he did, he handed over the rose and scissors to the beautiful woman in front of him.


    Chen Mobai had thought that after more than forty years, Shi Wanyu would have aged considerably.


    After all, at the age of seventy-one and being of the same generation as him, even a Qi Practitioner, no matter how well-maintained, would start to show signs of aging.


    But the Shi Wanyu before him, although she had lost the innocence and vibrancy of their first meeting, had gained a mature charm from the years that had passed.


    The white blouse, along with the grey apron decorated with cut flowers, outlined her more rounded and fuller figure compared to the past. Below her waist, which would encompass a gentle grasp, were black work pants that failed to conceal the outstanding contours of her legs, which appeared even more slender and straight when she stood.

    ¡°Long time no see, do you¡­ Councilman, would you like to buy some flowers?¡±


    Shi Wanyu, after receiving the rose and scissors, seemed to have finally calmed her shocked emotions, and with a slight tremble in her voice, she asked softly, looking down.


    ¡°When we graduated, you invited me to a meal, during which there seems to have been some event that I have no memory of. I wanted to ask you about it.¡±


    Chen Mobai directly brought up the incident from the past while looking at the elegant and alluring Shi Wanyu in front of him.


    ¡°That¡­ I¡­,¡± Shi Wanyu, hearing Chen Mobai actually bring up that incident, became even more flustered, knowing she had been in the wrong. Instinctively, she wanted to defend herself, but in the end, she simply lowered her head and began to apologize.

 Chapter 1370 - Chapter 1370 Chapter 742 Confirming Its a Daughter (7K)_2

    Chapter 1370: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s a Daughter (7K)_2 Chapter 1370: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s a Daughter (7K)_2 ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    If apologies were of any use, he wouldn¡¯t have a daughter now.


    Chen Mobai saw the look on Shi Wanyu¡¯s face and already had his answer, but he still needed to hear those words from her own lips.


    ¡°I met a girl named Xiao Hei on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains while I was establishing my Golden Core Domain earlier.¡±


    He spoke again, touching Shi Wanyu¡¯s heart, and as expected, hearing Xiao Hei¡¯s name, the one who had been lowering her head suddenly lifted it, widened her eyes, and looked straight at him. Those beautiful almond eyes were filled with panic.


    ¡°Do you have something you want to say to me?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t continue speaking, because, after he mentioned Xiao Hei, Shi Wanyu had already understood why he had come today.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    But Shi Wanyu still apologized, her eyes slightly moist, as if she was ashamed and repentant of her past actions.


    However, what Chen Mobai wanted to hear was not that.


    ¡°Is she my daughter with you?¡±


    Seeing Shi Wanyu sobbing continuously, Chen Mobai could no longer hold back and directly asked.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Shi Wanyu nodded gently, giving him the answer he wanted to hear.


    Phew!


    After a long breath, Chen Mobai felt a great burden lifted from his shoulders, and deep inside, an inexplicable joy surged forth.


    Originally, he had planned to consider marrying and having children only if he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation that he could not surpass.


    As his cultivation level grew higher and higher, even having confidence in reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he thought he might never have offspring in this lifetime.


    But unexpectedly, he had a daughter so many years ago.


    No wonder Xiao Hei has the Nine Yin Meridian!


    He cultivated the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, his innate Yuan Yang firm, and theoretically, even though he could exchange vital essence during union, that bit of Yuan Yang would never be depleted.


    Thus, Xiao Hei was born without a hint of True Yang.


    If it were not for the superior medical techniques of the Immortal Gate, it would have been a fatal condition.


    But now, she had overcome the tribulation of life and death and transformed into a Pure Yin Body, one of the top Spiritual Bodies highly sought after in the Immortal Gates.


    Yet soon, Chen Mobai spotted something amiss.


    Relying on the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, he had always been unrestrained when meeting with Meng Huang.


    How come she had never conceived?


    Or was it that Shi Wanyu possessed a special constitution, which allowed her to combine his genes and conceive Xiao Hei with the Nine Yin Meridian without any Yuan Yang.


    Chen Mobai intended to ask Shi Wanyu about this, but he felt somewhat embarrassed to broach the subject.


    But soon, he remembered a crucial person from that incident.


    Chen Chun from The Divine Machine Mansion.


    After his time with Shi Wanyu, she was the one who had dealt with the aftermath.


    She also told Chen Mobai that Shi Wanyu wanted a child, and hence had orchestrated that setup.


    But at the time, Chen Mobai thought his Yuan Yang was locked and that, despite being taken advantage of, it would be impossible for him to leave behind any descendants, so he didn¡¯t pay it much mind.


    Besides, with Chen Chun¡¯s background not inferior to his own, he eventually let her go without pursuing the matter with Shi Wanyu.


    Now, it seems that Chen Chun hadn¡¯t told him the whole truth.


    Surely, she knew everything about Xiao Hei¡¯s birth.


    ¡°Do you know Chen Chun?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this and couldn¡¯t help but ask Shi Wanyu.


    ¡°You already knew then.¡±


    At this moment, Shi Wanyu had stopped her sobbing, standing in front of Chen Mobai with her head lowered, her cheeks flushing even redder upon hearing this.


    It was indeed she who had wished to Chen Chun for a child by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°After the birth of our daughter, have you seen Chen Chun again?¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that she still remembered Chen Chun, and couldn¡¯t help but ask again.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Shi Wanyu immediately nodded; that incident was the most memorable event of her life, so she remembered all related people and things very clearly.


    ¡°Where?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately pressed.


    ¡°On the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. It seems she knew I was there; one year after our daughter was well-cared for, I met her on the way down the mountain.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately thought of Chen Chun¡¯s background upon hearing this; as one of the disciples of Qian Xing, being in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains made perfect sense.


    ¡°What did you talk about?¡±


    Shi Wanyu immediately recalled the situation back then, but her meeting with Chen Chun seemed to be just the latter waiting for her. They had a casual conversation in which Chen Chun mostly inquired about Xiao Hei¡¯s condition.


    That year was precisely when Xiao Hei underwent the tribulation of the Nine Yin Meridian and transformed into a Pure Yin Body afterward.


    After learning about this, Chen Chun congratulated her and then left.


    Listening to Shi Wanyu, Chen Mobai remembered something Chen Chun said afterward, ¡°Maybe when you two came before me, it was to bring this child into the world.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s second encounter with Shi Wanyu was in a small alley in Red City Cave Heaven.


    Through what Chen Chun told him, Chen Mobai learned about the three obstacles to his Core Formation.


    Proceeding according to the direction given by Chen Chun, he effortlessly succeeded in forming his core, thereby establishing the reputation that would secure his path to Divinity Transformation.


    At that time, Chen Mobai thought it was a stroke of good fortune for him.

    But who knew, she wasn¡¯t waiting for him!


    Her target was his daughter?


    This person from The Divine Machine Mansion was something else, able to calculate events decades into the future.


    The realization made Chen Mobai admire her, but it also increased his wariness.


    Now that he knew Xiao Hei was his daughter, he would not allow her fate to be manipulated by others.

 Chapter 1371 - Chapter 1371 Chapter 742 Confirming Its the Daughter (7K)_3

    Chapter 1371: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s the Daughter (7K)_3 Chapter 1371: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s the Daughter (7K)_3 ¡°I wonder if Ancestor Baiguang from Wangxian Peak knows about this?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that the reason Chen Chun planned to meet his daughter once his teacher Wanyu descended the mountain could be due to his wariness of Ancestor Baiguang.


    Instinctively, Chen Mobai felt that Chen Chun from The Divine Machine Mansion, and perhaps even the Leading Star Ancestor from the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, might have designs on his daughter. Otherwise, why go through such trouble? Thus, he couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    Fortunately, the Immortal Gate boasted two Divinity Transformation practitioners; otherwise, the Leading Star lineage would have completely dominated.


    When Chen Mobai was grateful that Ancestor Baiguang was on their side, he began to think about what to do in case of an eventual conflict with The Divine Machine Mansion or even Chen Chun from the Leading Star lineage due to his daughter.


    Surely he couldn¡¯t just take Xiao Hei to the Tianhe Realm?


    He still had so many friends and relatives here in the Immortal Gate!


    ¡°That¡­ Xiao Hei is coming back today.¡±


    Just as these thoughts whirled through his mind, Shi Wanyu hesitantly reminded him, and looking at the blushing beauty before him, Chen Mobai understood her insinuation.


    ¡°Do you want me to acknowledge her?¡±


    This question made Shi Wanyu¡¯s face flush with even more panic.


    After all, this child was born against Chen Mobai¡¯s wishes, and that¡¯s why she hadn¡¯t dared to bring her over to be recognized all these years.


    ¡°I¡­ want to!¡±


    But on thinking how her daughter had gone without a father for so many years, and now that Chen Mobai had found out and still came to visit, for her daughter¡¯s sake, Shi Wanyu gritted her teeth and expressed her true wish.


    Sharing a meal as a family had been her dream for decades!


    ¡°Yesterday, Xiao Hei was in Red Sandstone City; she visited my family, and her grandparents have already met her, and they like her very much.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words shocked Shi Wanyu, her eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°This this this¡­¡±


    ¡°I blame myself for not realizing sooner; otherwise, she could have had a complete and happy childhood.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai still held some resentment towards Shi Wanyu for her unilateral decision back in the day, thinking about the gossip and loneliness she had endured while raising Xiao Hei alone made him let go of his ill feelings.


    After all, his daughter was already so grown up!


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Shi Wanyu burst into tears of joy upon hearing what Chen Mobai said.


    Her greatest wish had already come true yesterday, unbeknownst to her.


    Although she wasn¡¯t there.


    ¡°I took the same train as her this morning¡­ Right now, she should be about forty minutes away from here.¡±


    Chen Mobai talked about his time spent with Xiao Hei, and upon hearing it, Shi Wanyu beamed with joy, radiating happiness and excitement from within.


    ¡°Xiao Hei is very filial. She questioned why True Person Yu Huiping would age and, upon learning that one day I would also become an old woman, she tried every means to buy elixirs and Spiritual Water to maintain my youth, hoping I would never grow old.¡±


    Hearing Shi Wanyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face reflected sudden understanding.


    No wonder she managed to maintain her beautiful complexion and fair skin without Foundation Establishment at her age.


    It turned out she had her daughter¡¯s help.


    ¡°This is a Water Spirit Bead; wear it, and it will nourish your skin, enhancing your appearance.¡±


    Moved by how Shi Wanyu had painstakingly cared for her daughter over the years, Chen Mobai took out a deep blue Pearl.


    ¡°This is too precious¡­¡±


    When Peach Blossom Sage had forcibly tried to buy a Water Spirit Bead, it caused quite a stir, so when Chen Mobai took it out, Shi Wanyu immediately tried to refuse it.


    ¡°Keep it. I have plenty more of these. When I have time, I¡¯ll see if I can ask Peach Blossom Sage to help refine it into an Appearance-Fixing Pearl.¡±


    After declining a couple of times and Chen Mobai¡¯s insistent offer, Shi Wanyu accepted the Pearl bashfully.


    Yet in her eyes, Chen Mobai saw delight.


    ¡°I¡¯ve actually consumed an elixir that slows down physical aging tenfold. It was a gift from my daughter. If you succeed in making the Appearance-Fixing Pearl in the future, you don¡¯t need to give it to me. Just give it to my daughter.¡±


    It seemed to be a mother¡¯s mindset to wish to give only the best to her daughter.


    ¡°As I said, I have plenty. You¡¯ll each get one when the time comes.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words filled Shi Wanyu with joy, and she hummed happily with squinted eyes.


    Chen Mobai checked the time; there were still thirty minutes before Xiao Hei¡¯s arrival.


    Now that he decided to meet his daughter, he would stay.


    ¡°Show me around here.¡±

    He gestured to the small but cozy flower shop, and Shi Wanyu nodded, removed her apron, and with an unprecedentedly joyful smile, started introducing each of the Fresh Flowers starting with those closest to her.


    After visiting the flower shop, Shi Wanyu, who still had some time, took Chen Mobai to the second floor, planning to let him rest with a cup of tea.


    But Chen Mobai requested just a glass of clear water and then went to the third floor to see Xiao Hei¡¯s room.


    Although the building was small, it was very warmly decorated, with pink and white wallpapers featuring petals scattered throughout, and a beautifully blooming sunflower painting on the ceiling, drawn by Shi Wanyu herself.


    Chen Mobai walked to a window in the attic, perfectly timing his gaze to see Xiao Hei coming out of the car, carrying a large suitcase.

 Chapter 1372 - Chapter 1372 Chapter 742 Confirming Its the Daughter (7K)_4

    Chapter 1372: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s the Daughter (7K)_4 Chapter 1372: Chapter 742: Confirming It¡¯s the Daughter (7K)_4 ¡°My daughter is back, should we go downstairs together directly?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt somewhat nervous and turned to Shi Wanyu beside him to ask.


    ¡°Or maybe I should go first, to lay some groundwork for you!¡±


    Shi Wanyu was also a bit at a loss, since it was going to be telling her grown daughter that her father had arrived today, and she had no idea what would happen next.


    Would Xiao Hei readily accept it? Or would she stubbornly lash out at Chen Mobai, calling him a scumbag for not visiting her and her mother all these years?


    Or perhaps she would be equally at a loss, not knowing how to accept the fact that she had a father!


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll wait upstairs for you and come down depending on the situation.¡±


    Chen Mobai also felt that it would be too shocking to just blurt out to Xiao Hei, ¡°I¡¯m your father,¡± and that it would be better to let Shi Wanyu, as her mother, go down and test the waters first.


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back! Where are you?¡±


    At this moment, a girl¡¯s vibrant voice came from inside the flower shop on the first floor.


    ¡°I¡¯m on the third floor, tidying up your room!¡±


    Shi Wanyu immediately responded loudly and then straightened her clothes, making sure everything was in order before rushing down the stairs.


    Right when the mother and daughter were meeting, Chen Mobai instantly teleported outside, choosing a spot where he could clearly see the inside of the flower shop and quietly observing them.


    He also activated Echoes in the Void as if he were right beside them, listening to the conversation between Shi Wanyu and her daughter.


    ¡°Your father is coming today.¡±


    ¡°Mom, what did you say?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei, who was about to carry her luggage upstairs, suddenly froze upon hearing Shi Wanyu¡¯s words. Her body stiffened as she turned around, slightly disbelieving her ears.


    Shi Wanyu: ¡°I said, your father is coming today, do you want to meet him?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard this and felt that Shi Wanyu was really not subtle at all; she just blurted it out without any preamble.


    However, at this point, all he could do was listen anxiously, wanting to hear Xiao Hei¡¯s reaction to all this.


    ¡°I still have a father!?¡±


    Her words tugged at Chen Mobai¡¯s heartstrings.


    I¡¯m right here!


    ¡°Where is he, I¡¯ll kill him, that faithless scoundrel. How dare he show his face after abandoning us mother and daughter for so many years? Has he heard that I¡¯ve made something of myself, so now he wants to acknowledge our relationship?¡±


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be afraid, such a lousy man isn¡¯t worth it. Just consider yourself a widow and I¡¯ll consider myself from a single-parent family.¡±


    ¡°Since he dared to abandon you and the me in your belly back then, he clearly is a heartless scumbag; just consider him dead.¡±


    ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t worry about this. If he dares to come here today, I don¡¯t care if I lose my civil servant job, I¡¯ll make sure he¡­¡±


    The reaction of Shi Xiao Hei was a bit more intense than Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu had anticipated. She was somewhat incoherent on the staircase and even summoned the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, a clear sign of her extreme anger.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai hesitated.


    His daughter doesn¡¯t recognize her father, what to do?


    This wasn¡¯t a situation he could seek help for online; he could only transmit a message to Shi Wanyu, preparing to grit his teeth and show himself.


    A dagger awaits whether he stretches his head out or pulls it back!


    After all, Shi Xiao Hei is just a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, and even if she has the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, he had ways to subdue it.


    But who knew, Shi Wanyu immediately shook her head and also transmitted a message to Chen Mobai, saying that their daughter usually had a good temperament, but nobody could calm her down once her temper flared up.


    ¡°`


    At first, when she stubbornly wanted to go to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Yu Huiping had no choice!


    Now, leaving behind the bright future of Wangwu Cave Heaven just to stay in the small place of Yu Wood City to accompany her daughter, it was the same.


    After seeing her daughter¡¯s excited dancing and emotional expression, Shi Wanyu knew that if Chen Mobai made an appearance, it would only push things in an even more uncontrollable direction.


    She feared that, in a fury, Shi Xiao Hei would greet Chen Mobai with the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo upon seeing him.


    [Don¡¯t worry, my daughter can¡¯t beat me. The Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo obeys me.]


    Yet, Chen Mobai was not at all worried and expressed his own thoughts, believing that even if Shi Xiao Hei lost her temper, he, as a father, could instantly subdue her with his heaven-reaching cultivation and establish his status as the head of the family.


    But Shi Wanyu was doing her utmost to prevent this.


    If the father and daughter¡¯s first meeting turned into a fight, it would immediately become the laughing stock of their neighbors and fellow townspeople.


    Moreover, as a member of the Kaiyuan Hall, Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master, was already in the limelight in the Immortal Gate. If people found out that he had such a grown, illegitimate daughter whom he had abandoned for so many years, his reputation would probably collapse.


    If such a huge stain tainted his reputation, it would be very difficult for him to assume one of the top positions in the Three Great Halls of Xianmen.


    Chen Mobai felt wronged, as it wasn¡¯t his fault for being irresponsible; he was the victim!


    And at this moment, Shi Wanyu¡¯s pleading telepathic message sounded once more, bringing up another matter.


    Because she had given birth out of wedlock, her parents couldn¡¯t hold their heads up, and being advanced in age, they were now spending their final days in a welfare institute, waiting to pass away. If they heard about this incident, it could quite possibly kill them.


    [Once my daughter calms down, I¡¯ll explain everything to her, and then I¡¯ll notify you to come over.]


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai somewhat helpless.


    But just at that moment, Xiao Hei suddenly let go of Shi Wanyu¡¯s hand and ran out of the flower shop without even taking her suitcase.


    Chen Mobai clearly saw a tear in the corner of her eye as she ran out.


    Shi Wanyu immediately chased after her with concern, but her Qi Cultivation level was no match for her Foundation Establishment daughter, and soon, the young girl was out of sight.


    [I¡¯m following her, don¡¯t worry.]


    Chen Mobai¡¯s telepathic message echoed in Shi Wanyu¡¯s ears, easing her anxiousness a bit.


    At that moment, she also regretted not having cleared things up earlier.


    Though Shi Xiao Hei was emotionally turbulent, she still remembered the basic laws and didn¡¯t fly within the city.


    Using her cultivation¡¯s Rapid Movement Technique, she quickly left Shi Wanyu behind and aimlessly headed towards the outskirts of the city, where fewer people were. Before long, she found herself standing on a grassy field beneath towering trees.


    Yu Wood City was full of things like this everywhere, covered with Spirit Wood, making it an idyllic place for retirement.


    Chen Mobai had also thought about bringing his parents here when they got old.


    However, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui didn¡¯t want to leave, so the plan never took off.


    The girl herself didn¡¯t know where she had ended up, simply driving her Spiritual Power and venting her emotions.


    Chen Mobai followed behind, planning to reveal himself and recognize her once her emotions stabilized.


    Although the birth of this daughter wasn¡¯t his original intention, the joy of recognition afterward made him understand that this was the continuation of his own bloodline.

    He liked this daughter!


    ¡°Eh, up ahead looks like¡­¡±


    Just then, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the surroundings. Seeing Shi Xiao Hei about to step into a forbidden area, his expression changed slightly.


    He waited no longer and immediately revealed his figure!

 Chapter 1373 - Chapter 1373 Chapter 743 Call Me Daddy (7K)

    Chapter 1373: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡°Daddy¡± (7K) Chapter 1373: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡°Daddy¡± (7K) Shi Xiao Hei didn¡¯t even know where she had ended up.


    She only felt a sudden burst of radiant light in front of her, followed by a force full of elasticity that began pushing against her, preventing her from moving forward.


    [Is this a private territory?]


    She stopped somewhat unexpectedly, recognizing the feeling of having entered a domain with a Restriction Array.


    She hesitated for a moment, about to retreat.


    Suddenly, two Spiritual Lights appeared out of nowhere, and then two cultivators in military uniform stepped out from within the formation, expressionless as they floated towards her.


    Shi Xiao Hei felt an unprecedented serious and murderous aura approaching her, causing her brows to furrow slightly. She realized she might have unintentionally entered a military base. Suppressing the urge to unleash the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, she surrendered immediately.


    In the Immortal Gate, all cultivators knew that while you could question Law Enforcement Cultivators or even curse officials on the streets, when encountering cultivators from the Military Department, it was best to do exactly as they said.


    Shi Xiao Hei was then confined by two Military Department Foundation Establishment Practitioners with a Restriction that sealed her Spiritual Power. She clearly knew, with her background, as long as she stayed composed and explained the misunderstanding, she should be able to leave this place.


    ¡°I am a clerical worker from Yu Wood City¡¯s Forestry Bureau¡­¡±


    Thus, she immediately revealed her identity, letting the Military Department know she was part of the system. Even if they decided to handle her, they would need to inform the Immortal Gate officials of Yu Wood City.


    In doing so, her message could possibly get out.


    Her hope didn¡¯t lie with the officials of Yu Wood City, but with Wangxian Peak; however, to stay low-key, she had not listed this in her records and Yu Wood City also had no direct channel of communication with Wangxian Peak.


    Shi Xiao Hei thought that the Immortal Gate officials of Yu Wood City would likely inform her mother, and Shi Wanyu had the contact of Yu Huiping.


    But after waiting for two days, she realized the Military Department personnel only interrogated her for some basic information and made no further moves.


    If it weren¡¯t for the female officer who came daily to bring food and clothes, she would have thought she had been forgotten.


    At this point, having never experienced such events, Shi Xiao Hei was quite frightened internally.


    She was scared that she might be confined here for life.


    Why was there a territory of the Military Department within Yu Wood City?


    Shi Xiao Hei also requested the Military Department cultivators interrogating her to let her send a message of safety to her family, but they refused using military confidentiality as their reason.


    She also asked how long she would be held, and the answer she received was that they were waiting for instructions from above.


    Shi Xiao Hei then questioned who ¡°above¡± referred to?


    But she received no answer.


    By the fifth day, Shi Xiao Hei started to worry; having not returned for so long, Shi Wanyu might be going frantic with worry.


    She also started resenting the inefficiency of the Yu Wood City officials. Being a new clerical worker who hadn¡¯t shown up as agreed, didn¡¯t they think to investigate?


    The inefficiency was so significant that once she got out, she definitely needed to have Uncle Chen give them a thorough scolding.


    While Shi Xiao Hei thought this through, in the top-floor office of the building where she was detained, Chen Mobai was sitting on a sofa, facing a middle-aged man in a military uniform who just poured freshly brewed tea into his cup.


    ¡°Councilman Chen, according to the rules, if we cannot prove the suspect¡¯s guilt with solid evidence after seven days, we must release them,¡±


    The middle-aged man, named Miao Wanliang, reminded Chen Mobai with a wry smile.


    This prison was established by the Hall of Orthodox Law to hold criminals, where Qing Nu¡¯s former master Gu Changfeng had been imprisoned.


    Though the prison was within the boundaries of Yu Wood City, it was indeed beyond the local officials¡¯ jurisdiction, directly managed by the Military Department cultivators dispatched by the Hall of Orthodox Law.


    However, facing Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master with deep connections, Miao Wanliang had to show respect.


    After all, according to reliable information, this man with the Qualification of Deification had been personally recruited by the Righteous Law Hall Master, and just joining the Hall as an official could probably start at least at the rank of Major General!


    Therefore, Chen Mobai asking him to handle some matters without breaking any rules, he was naturally willing.


    With this favor, perhaps it could be of great use when opening battles in the future.


    Chen Mobai had initially thought to intervene when he saw Shi Xiao Hei walking this way, but suddenly it occurred to him that his daughter, currently in a state of emotional instability, might benefit from a few days here to calm down.


    After she calmed down, he could then step in to extract her and earn some impression points.


    ¡°Hmm, the timing is about right; please assist me in staging this, Camp Commander Miao.¡±


    Chen Mobai calculated that five days should be enough to calm his daughter, nodded his head, and finished the cup of tea on the table.

    This was also tea he had brought himself, considered Rank-2 Superior Quality, available on this side of the Immortal Gate.


    He had originally obtained all the varieties of tea collected by Wen Ren Xuewei and had Zhuo Ming plant them in the Xiao Nanshan tea garden to cultivate. Planning to utilize the abundant resources of the Tianhe Realm for growth, he intended to eventually incorporate Enlightenment Tea.


    Among these was the Rank-2 Spiritual Tea, which he personally didn¡¯t regard highly due to its lower grade, but it was considered a premium gift in the Immortal Gate.


    The Foundation Establishment Practitioners here felt luxurious even drinking Rank-1 Superior Quality Spiritual Tea.


    Chen Mobai having Miao Wanliang help, directly gifted a whole kilogram, making him somewhat hesitant to accept because it was indeed too much.

 Chapter 1374 - Chapter 1374 Chapter 743 Call Me Daddy (7K)_2

    Chapter 1374: Chapter 743: Call Me ¡®Daddy¡¯ (7K)_2 Chapter 1374: Chapter 743: Call Me ¡®Daddy¡¯ (7K)_2 However, Chen Mobai said if there were too many, they could be shared with the rest of the soldiers stationed here.


    With that in mind, Miao Wanliang naturally accepted them.


    And precisely because of this, he became even more motivated in his duties.


    Shi Xiao Hei was anxiously waiting within the little black room, having never encountered such a situation before, her heart becoming increasingly panicked and uneasy.


    And it was at this moment that the door opened!


    The dim light from outside shined in, and Shi Xiao Hei thought it was meal delivery, merely lifting her head slightly.


    But she quickly realized something was amiss.


    A gentle surge of Spiritual Power settled upon her, and the Restriction that sealed her Cultivation Level was unexpectedly unlocked.


    ¡°Miss Shi, someone has come to bail you out, you may leave.¡±


    Looking at the woman in dark green military uniform before her, who had a chilly demeanor and a tall figure, Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s originally blank expression suddenly came to life.


    ¡°Is it the official authority of Yu Wood City? Or someone from Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei felt the restraints lifting, stood up from the chair, stretched her limbs, and asked eagerly.


    ¡°It¡¯s from Dance Tool Dao Academy. That eminent person personally reached out to our commander, explaining the situation and willing to vouch that you absolutely would not disclose any secrets of this place, so the commander allowed me to release you.¡±


    Hearing this, Shi Xiao Hei wore a face full of confusion.


    From the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    She hadn¡¯t expected that those coming to bail her out would be people from her alma mater.


    Who could it be?


    But soon, Shi Xiao Hei thought of the person from Dance Tool Dao Academy who had the highest status and influence in this domain.


    She was promptly taken to the reception room.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s familiar and majestic figure kindled an urge within her to cry.


    ¡°Uncle Chen!¡±


    Had it not been for Miao Wanliang¡¯s presence next to Chen Mobai, Shi Xiao Hei really wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry her heart out.


    ¡°Mr. Chen, I¡¯m handing her over to you. It¡¯s only because you came personally to vouch for her that I didn¡¯t wait for the Hall of Orthodox Law to send someone over to thoroughly investigate before releasing her.¡±


    Miao Wanliang¡¯s statement compelled Chen Mobai to express his thanks; after shaking hands, Miao Wanliang personally drove the father and daughter out.


    ¡°Many thanks to Commander Miao.¡±


    At the gate of the base, after Chen Mobai finished speaking, he took Shi Xiao Hei beyond the enveloping scope of the Large Formation.


    The moment they stepped out, the office building inside, the Cultivators on guard, and the huge array of military equipment on the open ground all vanished from sight¨Cobviously concealed by the Large Formation.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, I¡¯ve caused you trouble this time.¡±


    Once outside, Shi Xiao Hei immediately started apologizing to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°How did you end up in this place? This is a secret base directly overseen by the Hall of Orthodox Law, and even I have no jurisdiction here.¡±


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows and asked, pretending to be serious.


    ¡°I¡­ I had an argument with my mom, and ran off in a huff; I didn¡¯t expect to end up here.¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei couldn¡¯t confess it was because she suddenly gained another father, and her mentality completely collapsed.


    ¡°Next time you can¡¯t do this. If I hadn¡¯t finished my business at Qing Sang Academy and gone to visit your home, only to learn from your mother that you had been missing for five days, you might have suffered for a few more days.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s somewhat reproachful words left Shi Xiao Hei feeling even more embarrassed, and she nodded softly with her head lowered.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get you home first, your mother is very worried about you.¡±


    It was the truth¨Csince Shi Xiao Hei ran out of Fuxia Flower Shop, Shi Wanyu had become deeply concerned, let alone for five consecutive days.


    Had it not been for Chen Mobai assuring he would look after her and that there would be no issues, Shi Wanyu might have already reported to the police.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, about this matter¡­ can we not tell my mom?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei hesitantly spoke up, tentatively making a request.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°If she finds out that I trespassed into a military base and was detained for so long, she will definitely worry like mad. I¡¯ll tell her I spent five days outside clearing my head, readjusting my mood. Please!¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei clasped her hands in front of Chen Mobai, her delicate and fine little face pleading pitifully.


    ¡°Well¡­ okay then!¡±


    His reaction was exactly what Chen Mobai wanted, but on the surface he appeared to reluctantly agree.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, you are so good to me. I wish my dad was like you!¡±


    After hearing this, Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s tears turned into laughter, making a remark that caused the corners of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth to twitch.


    I am your dad!


    At the entrance to Fuxia Flower Shop, Chen Mobai decided not to go in after dropping off Shi Xiao Hei, preferring to let the mother and daughter clear things up.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, come in! I really want to thank you. I picked up some good cooking skills in the Sea Territory, so I¡¯ll prepare a table full of delicious food for you today as a treat.¡±


    But Shi Xiao Hei was very polite in inviting Chen Mobai; she owed her release from the Military Department to his intervention.


    In her view, having met Chen Mobai only a few times and him being willing to get her out of the Military Department was a great favor.


    She had to express her gratitude properly.


    Unable to refuse her, Chen Mobai had no choice but to enter the flower shop.


    Seeing the father and daughter enter, Shi Wanyu was momentarily stunned, her face a portrait of disbelief.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Mom, I just went out to clear my head for a few days. Why did you have to trouble Mr. Chen to look for me?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei immediately used the excuse they¡¯d agreed upon upon entering.


    Hearing this, Shi Wanyu looked puzzled.


    Chen Mobai quickly conveyed a message to her not to delve into it and to go along with her daughter¡¯s explanation.


    Although Shi Wanyu didn¡¯t understand the truth, seeing her daughter return with her father made her happy inside, and she picked up Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s narrative and carried on.

 Chapter 1375 - Chapter 1375 Chapter 743 Call Me Daddy (7K)_3

    Chapter 1375: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡®Daddy¡¯ (7K)_3 Chapter 1375: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡®Daddy¡¯ (7K)_3 ¡°Mum, have a chat with uncle, I¡¯ll go out to buy some groceries.¡±


    Seeing that she had managed to gloss over the matter of being detained for five days, Shi Xiao Hei sighed with relief. To avoid any slip-ups, she immediately prepared to leave, asking Shi Wanyu to entertain Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I still need to head over to the government hall to handle some matters; just call me when it¡¯s time for dinner.¡±


    Yet, Chen Mobai felt it would be better for Shi Wanyu to clear things up with her daughter sooner rather than later.


    So, after leaving those words behind, he immediately vanished on the spot, shimmering with silver light.


    ¡°This is¡­Void Walking!¡±


    Witnessing this, Shi Xiao Hei was utterly shocked.


    Among the ranks of the Immortal Gate, only Nascent Soul Superiors had mastery over such a spatial secret technique.


    She never expected that Uncle Chen, who was merely at the Golden Core Realm, had already accomplished it.


    He truly deserved to be someone with the Qualification of Deification, having opened a Domain during the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Daughter, let me tell you about when I was pregnant with you. Actually, your father was a victim too.¡±


    As Chen Mobai left, he gave Shi Wanyu a meaningful look. Seeing Shi Xiao Hei preparing to step out to buy groceries, Shi Wanyu promptly started recounting the past.


    As expected, Shi Xiao Hei was lured in by those words!


    After thinking it over for a moment, she decided that delaying her trip to the market wouldn¡¯t affect the culinary skills she had honed in the Sea Territory. She turned around, her gaze intense, furrowing her brow as she stared intently at Shi Wanyu.


    She couldn¡¯t understand how her father could also be a victim.


    But soon enough, as Shi Wanyu clarified the past events of being drugged and schemed against for conception, Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s eyes widened, staring at her mother in disbelief.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    After finishing her story, Shi Wanyu¡¯s cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She always felt guilty whenever she thought about the past and had kept these feelings buried deep within for many years.


    Now that Chen Mobai had actively sought them out, willing to let bygones be bygones, even acknowledging Shi Xiao Hei as his daughter, she felt it was time to stand up and admit her mistakes.


    ¡°Mum, you wouldn¡¯t be lying to me, would you? Covering for that scumbag again.¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei was unwilling to accept that it was her mother¡¯s fault she had grown up without a father.


    ¡°You child, when have I ever lied to you? If you don¡¯t believe me, Mum can even swear¡­¡±


    By this point, even if Shi Xiao Hei was reluctant, she had to accept the fact that her father was the victim.


    ¡°Then¡­how did he suddenly find out?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei remembered that Shi Wanyu had told her that her father had found them, and she hesitated before asking.


    ¡°When he met you, he felt a sense of closeness to you. As a prominent figure in the Immortal Gate, it was easy for him to find me through you, and I told him everything. He is willing to accept you as his daughter.¡±


    ¡°Met me? Who?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei asked in astonishment, but soon she thought of the recently departed Chen Mobai, her eyes widening in shock!


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    In the evening!


    After Chen Mobai had dealt with matters concerning Shi Xiao Hei¡¯s delayed report to Yu Wood City¡¯s Forestry Bureau, he received a message from her saying dinner was ready.


    He quickly activated the Underworld Array and arrived at the doorstep of the flower shop.


    Amidst the crisp sound of the wind chimes, he stepped inside.


    Shi Wanyu was waiting for him inside. Chen Mobai exchanged glances with her, but even Shi Wanyu wasn¡¯t sure how her daughter was feeling now; she only knew to continue cooking.


    The kitchen was on the second floor. Following Shi Wanyu upstairs, Shi Xiao Hei had just taken off her apron when she saw him, her face showing a weird expression, yet still she politely invited him to take a seat.


    ¡°The taste is quite good.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually picked up a piece of fish. He didn¡¯t taste much, but a compliment would suffice anyway.


    ¡°About that¡­¡±


    Shi Wanyu was about to speak when Shi Xiao Hei opened a bottle of wine and filled Chen Mobai¡¯s cup.


    ¡°Can you forgive Mum?¡±


    Chen Mobai was caught off guard by this question.


    ¡°Did Wanyu make things clear to you?¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei nodded and then poured a large drink for herself. Gathering her courage, she looked Chen Mobai in the eyes to express her thoughts.


    ¡°My birth was a mistake made by Mum.¡±


    ¡°Being the most dazzling genius of the Immortal Gate, the one most likely to achieve Divinity Transformation in a millennium, you shouldn¡¯t have an illegitimate daughter like me.¡±


    ¡°If you can forgive Mum, I can vanish without a trace, never letting your bright and illustrious life be tarnished by any stain!¡±


    Chen Mobai listened silently.


    Hearing her daughter¡¯s words, Shi Wanyu couldn¡¯t help but wipe away her tears quietly, not wanting to disturb the father-daughter interaction.


    Chen Mobai drank the wine his daughter poured and spoke.


    ¡°My daughter is the most cherished treasure to me, never a stain!¡±


    ¡°The views of the world are but a fleeting illusion to me. Even if countless people praise or berate me, they will not cause the slightest ripple in my Dao Heart.¡±

    ¡°I walk my own path, and now I just want to hear you call me ¡®Dad¡¯!¡±


    As Chen Mobai finished speaking, both Shi Wanyu and her daughter had shining eyes, enthralled by his domineering presence filled with security, their faces filled with emotion.


    ¡°Dad, what about Mum¡¯s fault¡­¡±


    Shi Xiao Hei couldn¡¯t help but call out ¡°Dad¡±, but she was still intent on resolving the long-standing grudge between her parents.


    ¡°After that incident occurred, I was indeed very angry, but many years have passed, and I have let it go. Besides, she raised you into who you are, providing you with all the affection she could in my absence. She¡¯s a good mother!¡±

 Chapter 1376 - Chapter 1376 Chapter 743 Call Me Daddy(7K)_4

    Chapter 1376: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡®Daddy''(7K)_4 Chapter 1376: Chapter 743 Call Me ¡®Daddy''(7K)_4 After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Shi Wanyu completely broke down in tears.


    Back in her youthful days of tender green, a moment of passionate impulse had led her to commit a grave mistake that haunted her heart for decades, but today she finally received personal forgiveness from Chen Mobai.


    And the scene of father and daughter recognizing each other was also the one she had dreamt of for all these years.


    All her dreams had turned into reality today.


    This made Shi Wanyu feel as if she were the happiest person in the world.


    All the cold stares and suffering she had endured for the past decades were for this very moment.


    ¡°Daddy!¡±


    At this moment, Shi Xiao Hei threw herself directly into Chen Mobai¡¯s arms, shouting loudly!


    And she kept repeating it, the word ¡°Daddy¡± becoming louder and louder, even a bit hoarse and worn out, as if she wanted to shout out all the ¡°Daddies¡± that she hadn¡¯t said in decades, all tonight.


    If it weren¡¯t for the soundproof restriction built into the building, probably all the neighbors around could hear Shi Xiao Hei shouting for her dad.


    Chen Mobai was a bit stiff; he wasn¡¯t very accustomed to such intimate contact with a woman.


    However, realizing that the person in his arms was his daughter, he could only gently pat the back of the young girl¡¯s head with the softest pressure.


    Shi Wanyu, watching this scene, was overjoyed.


    ¡°Alright, alright, there will be plenty of time to call him Daddy later. The food is getting cold, and a lot has not been eaten yet. Your father has been worrying and working hard to find you these past days. Let him have a good meal.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s somewhat stiff movements, Shi Wanyu could tell that her daughter had almost released all her emotions and spoke up to separate the two.


    After hearing this, Shi Xiao Hei also let go of Chen Mobai somewhat embarrassingly and took her blushing face back to her seat.


    ¡°Daddy, try this green bamboo shoot dish, it¡¯s one of my best recipes¡­¡±


    ¡°And this one, the purple flower beef soup¡­¡±


    ¡°This one is good too¡­¡±


    On the dinner table, the dishes in Chen Mobai¡¯s bowl kept piling up, quickly making a high stack. He simply smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and ate everything.


    To be honest, the taste was average.


    But with every bite he took, he praised it as if it was the most delicious food in the world.


    Shi Xiao Hei, listening to this, squinted her eyes, her happiness apparent beyond words.


    Today was the happiest day of her life.


    When she was younger, she hoped to have a father who was awe-inspiring and upright, but every time she asked her mother about him, her mother always avoided the topic.


    Over time, having watched plenty of TV dramas, she came to see her father as a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter.


    After she grew up, she pretended that her father was dead.


    But at the Daoist Academy, when she heard her roommates on the phone with their fathers, complaining, nagging, and pouring their hearts out, she felt an indescribable loneliness and envy deep inside.


    If only she had a father, how wonderful that would be.


    Back then, she no longer demanded her father to be awe-inspiring; she simply wanted him to be a normal, kind, and gentle dad.


    During the ten years she spent studying in the Sea Territory, surrounded by Seafolk Specters, she felt even lonelier and wished for family even more.


    It was then that she realized she wasn¡¯t as strong as she thought!


    She longed to be surrounded by family love.


    So, after her studies and upon obtaining the Heavenly Realm Pure Water, she resolutely decided to give up the Wangwu Cave Heaven public servant position arranged by Yu Huiping, choosing to return to Yu Wood City to accompany her mother for the rest of her life.


    When she made this decision, she never imagined that she would be able to find her father as well.


    And this father turned out to be the perfect male cultivator in her mind.


    Mom really should have clarified things sooner; I definitely wouldn¡¯t have gotten upset.


    For some inexplicable reason, Xiao Hei looked at Shi Wanyu with a bit of resentment.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Shi Wanyu was somewhat baffled.


    ¡°Mom, if you had told me about Dad¡¯s identity sooner, maybe decades ago on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, I would already have been in his arms calling him ¡®Dad¡¯.¡±


    Hearing Xiao Hei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    ¡°Eh, you father and daughter met that long ago?¡±


    Shi Wanyu did not know about this, and Xiao Hei immediately told her about the few rare encounters she had had with Chen Mobai before.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that when he met Xiao Hei at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, it seemed a bit odd.


    Zhongli Tianyu, who was traveling with him, seemed to have been deliberately led away; it must have been someone who knew he was there and had specifically arranged for father and daughter to meet.


    The likelihood was Yu Huiping of Wangxian Peak, since she appeared right away when Xiao Hei¡¯s Nine Yin Meridian acted up.


    However, since it was all arranged, why not reveal the identity!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help feeling annoyed with Yu Huiping, letting him miss out on family happiness for so many years.


    ¡°Mom, you sit with Dad for a while, I¡¯ll clean up.¡±


    In the joyful atmosphere of the family of three, dinner ended before they knew it. Shi Wanyu got up out of habit to clean, but Xiao Hei immediately stopped her.


    Actually, with spells, cultivators can clean up very quickly.


    But since the daughter wanted to show filial piety, Shi Wanyu let her have her way.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, so I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    After eating, Chen Mobai thought about his daughter being forced to calm down in the small dark room for five days, combined with the emotional ups and downs of today, she must be really exhausted, so he decided to say goodbye to let his daughter rest well.


    ¡°Dad, are you leaving? Isn¡¯t this your home? Or is it that you still haven¡¯t truly forgiven Mom in your heart!¡±


    But unexpectedly, Xiao Hei¡¯s eyes suddenly reddened, and she started to sob.


    ¡°I said I would, so of course I mean it¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to explain, but seeing his daughter looking like she was about to cry, he could only sigh.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll stay tonight, is there a spare room?¡±


    He asked Shi Wanyu, who, after hearing this, shook her head somewhat awkwardly.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make do with the couch on the first floor for the night¡­¡±


    ¡°How could that be?¡±


    But before he could finish, both mother and daughter interrupted him in unison.


    ¡°How about you sleep in your daughter¡¯s room tonight, and she can stay with me.¡±


    Shi Wanyu suggested a plan, but Xiao Hei shook her head in refusal.


    ¡°I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds, and tonight I need a long time to meditate in tranquility; I can only be at ease in my own room.¡±


    After she finished speaking, Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu finally understood her meaning.

    The two exchanged glances, and the beautiful fair-cheeked woman suddenly blushed a deep red, Chen Mobai even saw her snow-white neck and delicately boned collar peeking out of her clothing also flush deeply, clearly extremely embarrassed.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go rest first, goodnight Mom and Dad!¡±


    Seeing that the atmosphere between her parents was ripe, Xiao Hei promptly waved at them and quickly ran to her loft.


    Left alone, Chen Mobai also felt somewhat restless.


    But the beautiful young woman before him looked even more anxious and hesitant.

 Chapter 1377 - Chapter 1377 Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor

    Chapter 1377: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor Chapter 1377: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor Dawn was breaking.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes while sitting by the window.


    Although his daughter¡¯s matchmaking intentions were quite clear last night, there had never actually been any romantic feelings between Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they shared a daughter, their relationship would have ended completely on the day they graduated.


    Therefore, last night he instructed Shi Wanyu to rest as usual, while he cultivated by the window throughout the night.


    Since this place only had the most ordinary Rank-1 Spiritual Energy, which Chen Mobai could exhausted with just a couple of breaths, and he couldn¡¯t take out a Spirit Stone to cultivate in front of Shi Wanyu, he meditated on the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun.


    Ever since he had broken through to the second layer of this Divine Consciousness Technique, the Phoenix Phantom in the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Mansion had become more solidified, and its unfurled feathers appeared strikingly lifelike.


    With every vibration of its wings, a rich and pure Auspicious Qi ascended, making Chen Mobai¡¯s spirit exceptionally clear and lucid.


    The ¡°Quality of Food¡± state endowed him with a body immune to all poisons and also meant that as long as he didn¡¯t overly consume his Divine Sense, he would always be in a state of optimal mental fullness and clarity.


    After mastering the second layer, he contemplated the realm of the third layer.


    This layer was called ¡°Drink has ceremony¡±!


    It was a trait he eagerly anticipated.


    Unlike the passive ¡°Quality of Food,¡± this was an active ability, used to help Chen Mobai manipulate the intake and Cultivation of Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth.


    Normally, cultivators needed to be at a Spiritual Vein Land, drawing Spiritual Energy that matched their Cultivation Technique, and then slowly refine it into their own required Spiritual Power.


    In this process, the most time-consuming part was distinguishing the different types of Spiritual Energy.


    For example, when Chen Mobai broke through at Danxia Mountain using the Blood Spirit Pill, because his foundation was insufficient, he absorbed extraneous attributes of Spiritual Energy not required by Pure Yang Scroll, causing some mottling in his Spiritual Power.


    Fortunately, he had the Flame Lighting Technique. After daily Cultivation, he purified his Spiritual Power during his spare time, taking nearly two years to eliminate this hidden danger.


    But if he were to master ¡°Drink has ceremony,¡± he would no longer need to worry about this issue. In the future, only the Spiritual Energy and other energies he needed would be absorbed and refined into his body from the surrounding environment.


    Quality of Food and Drink has ceremony were originally intended to be combined to maximize effectiveness as distinct phoenix traits.


    Only after mastering Drink has ceremony, could the passive capabilities of Quality of Food, immune to all poisons, be fully manifested.


    Moreover, this capability, apart from benefiting himself, could also help others to the greatest extent.


    For instance, if Chen Mobai wanted his daughter to perceive the Power of Void, he would have to expose her to an environment rich in Void Power. Using his method, that would mean directly using Void Stone.


    However, such resources, even if meant for aiding his daughter, couldn¡¯t be brought out by the Immortal Gate.


    If he mastered ¡°Drink has ceremony,¡± he could directly cultivate using the Void Power from heaven and earth, surrounding himself with an intense concentration of Void Power. If Xiao Hei, the little black cat, were consistently in such an environment, one day it would perceive and feel the existence of the Power of Void.


    Of course, for this to be possible, the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect and the Echoes in the Void were key as well!


    This was because if a cultivator himself couldn¡¯t sense the Spiritual Energy or other energies they require, then Drink has ceremony couldn¡¯t play its role.


    For those in the Immortal Gate who practiced the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, even if they also reached the third layer, without Echoes in the Void, they could at most control the Five Elements Spiritual Energy.


    For energies like the Power of Void, which they couldn¡¯t sense, they could only be helpless.


    But according to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, it would be only when his Spiritual Consciousness Realm reached the Ninth Level of Golden Core, could the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram break through again.


    For other cultivators in the Immortal Gate, this was already quite fast.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry.


    Now that he could take any elixir like the Golden Crow Swallowing the Sun Pill without side effects, and in the Tianhe Realm, he planned to acquire elixirs that increased the Cultivation Level of Golden Core Cultivators for his own use, aiming to raise his Pure Yang Scroll realm to Perfect Core Formation in the shortest time possible.


    Unfortunately, these elixirs were not available in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In the East Barbarians, the occasional bottle that appeared would be auctioned off at sky-high prices, extremely cherished.


    Likely, only in the core areas of the East Continent, East Land, could such elixirs be purchased.


    Chen Mobai was already considering forming a Commerce Association for the Five Elements Sect, operating across the Six Domains in East Land, to help him purchase and gather the precious resources he needed while also gathering intelligence about the major regions of the East Continent.


    If he were to lead the Commerce Association out of the Barren, to establish markets in other regions, the leading cultivator, whether in terms of Cultivation Level or capability, needed to be among the top of the Five Elements Sect.


    At the very least, it had to be a Golden Core Cultivator!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unfortunately, among the current Golden Core Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, there wasn¡¯t such a person.


    There was no point in thinking about the Golden Core Cultivators of the other Four Veins; even if Chen Mobai ordered it, they likely wouldn¡¯t be willing to leave The Barren and give up their supreme position in a lineage to help him expand the market.


    Within the Wood Vein, Fu Zongjue might be a good fit, but Chen Mobai hesitated to ask him.


    As for him, the Sect Leader, and Zhou Shengqing, the fixed Sea God Needle, they would definitely not leave The Barren.


    Then the only option left was Yin Qingmei, who had just reached Core Formation. As a Cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, even in East Land, she would be a vigorously contested talent. However, the key issue was her mediocre administrative ability.

 Chapter 1378 - Chapter 1378 Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_2

    Chapter 1378: Chapter 744: Leading Star Ancestor_2 Chapter 1378: Chapter 744: Leading Star Ancestor_2 Over these years, she had been protected a bit too well, and if she were sent out to do business, given the customs of the Tianhe Realm, it was estimated she would be swallowed whole, bones and all, by the bad folks outside.


    Chen Mobai decided that, after the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster tide had subsided, he would first send Luo Xue¡¯er out to scout the outside market.


    When she left, she could take Liu Wenbo with her.


    Later, when Luo Yixuan achieved Core Formation, she could come back to prepare for Core Formation and then have this third disciple take over.


    It would be great if Yue Zutao could achieve Core Formation; Chen Mobai was very satisfied with his ability and temperament, and if sent out to lead the establishment of a market, he should be able to hold steady.


    As he was contemplating how the Five Elements Sect would consolidate the Eastern Wilderness and then expand outward, footsteps approached from outside the door.


    A soft knock was heard, and not long after, Shi Wanyu, wearing an apron, walked in.


    ¡°We can eat breakfast now.¡±


    She had also not slept well all night, and as soon as the first ray of sunrise appeared, she had gotten up to prepare breakfast.


    Chen Mobai naturally heard the movements, but there was a bit of awkwardness between the two, so he kept his eyes closed, pretending not to notice.


    ¡°Mmm, how about the daughter, should I call her?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up from his chair and walked to the dining room outside the room, even asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s still early, let her rest a bit more.¡±


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod in agreement.


    After all, it was just after five in the morning.


    And he had already spoken with the forestry department, asking the director to issue a leave note for Disciple Xiao Hei, allowing her to report for duty whenever she wished.


    Chen Mobai had just sat down when he noticed that Shi Wanyu was standing, and immediately gestured for her to join him.


    ¡°Come eat together.¡±


    After hearing this, Shi Wanyu nodded lightly.


    ¡°Should the daughter change her name?¡±


    Just as she sat down, she spoke a sentence that made Chen Mobai stop in his tracks.


    The name Xiao Hei was obviously chosen by Shi Wanyu in memory of Chen Mobai.


    After all, Mobai is black!


    Now that Chen Mobai had come to her doorstep and father and daughter recognized each other, according to the Rules, she would have to take her father¡¯s surname.


    Moreover, the name Xiao Hei didn¡¯t quite fit for a girl, so Shi Wanyu¡¯s intention was to let Chen Mobai give her a new name when Xiao Hei acknowledged her ancestry and returned to the family.


    ¡°She¡¯s an adult now, let her decide for herself.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai also hoped that his daughter would share his surname, he wouldn¡¯t force it.


    After Shi Wanyu listened, there was a hint of disappointment, but she still nodded.


    While the two were halfway through their meal, sounds of doors opening from upstairs followed, and the energetic girl came down the stairs, tat-tat-tat.


    ¡°Mom and Dad, good morning!¡±


    Disciple Xiao Hei arrived in front of Chen Mobai, her long black hair that reached her waist fluttered with the movement of her descent.


    Today, she wore her work uniform for her job, an elegant white blouse on the upper body with a slightly bulging chest, with the collar slightly open revealing her graceful neckline, and a dark-colored suit jacket that was well-tailored, drawing out the perfect curve of her waist.


    Below that, a skirt of the same dark color as the jacket covered her thighs properly, revealing a pair of slender, straight, yet powerfully shaped legs, her fair skin shimmered with a translucent luster, clad in a thin layer of flesh-colored stockings, paired with a pair of black high heel shoes, and a confident smile on her face that nearly made Chen Mobai think he had traveled through time, seeing the young Shi Wanyu.


    ¡°Why have you gotten up so early?¡±


    Shi Wanyu, surprised to see her, stood up and went to the kitchen to fetch the still-warm breakfast.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been late several days in a row at the unit, so I¡¯m reporting in today.¡±


    As Disciple Xiao Hei spoke, she put the small bag she was holding onto the table, her attractive eyes constantly scanning her parents, as if observing something.


    ¡°I had already spoken to Zhu Shiyong on your behalf yesterday¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai started to mention the leave of absence, and upon hearing this, Xiao Hei hesitated on her face, pondering whether she should rest for a few more days, but soon decided it was better to report for duty.


    She had parachuted over from the Wangwu Cave Heaven and had already caused a stir in the Yu Wood City system; if she requested leave for an extended period, it was likely to attract the attention of many.


    If it were the original her, she would not be worried about this.


    But now, she was Chen Mobai¡¯s daughter!


    If others discovered this fact, wouldn¡¯t her father¡¯s reputation be compromised by her own doings?


    There were all too many examples of disappointing one¡¯s parents within the Immortal Gate.


    So Disciple Xiao Hei shook her head, indicating she would report for duty today and work normally at the forestry bureau in the future, hoping to hide her identity and not let anyone know she was Chen Mobai¡¯s daughter.


    ¡°I was just discussing with your mother whether to change your name.¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Disciple Xiao Hei starting to eat breakfast, brought up the matter Shi Wanyu had mentioned.


    ¡°Dad, do you want to change it? I¡¯ve gotten used to the name Xiao Hei for so many years.¡±


    Disciple Xiao Hei expressed her own opinion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Then let¡¯s just change the surname. In a few days when we have some time, let¡¯s take your residence booklet and I¡¯ll take you to the Department of Law Enforcement to get a new ID card.¡±


    Chen Mobai instantly made a decision.


    ¡°Dad, changing the surname is okay, but let¡¯s not get onto your residence booklet, shall we? It might affect your clean reputation in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    But to his surprise, upon hearing this, Disciple Xiao Hei proposed with a concerned look.


    Oh, what a considerate daughter she was, already thinking about her father¡¯s concerns.

 Chapter 1379 - Chapter 1379 Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_3

    Chapter 1379: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_3 Chapter 1379: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_3 Chen Mobai expressed he didn¡¯t mind these things!


    However, both Instructor Xiao Hei and Instructor Wanyu emphasized that they should not, because of their existence, hold back his bright future.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s background and achievements, once he achieved Perfect Core Formation and his Cultivation Level could progress no further, if he wished to undergo ¡°Nascent Soul Formation,¡± then he certainly had to advance further within The Three Great Halls.


    In such a case, personal conduct became extremely important.


    If someone discovered the existence of an illegitimate daughter, it would certainly become major gossip during critical positions like the election for Vice Hall Master.


    Chen Mobai knew in his heart that he didn¡¯t need the resources of the Immortal Gate at all to achieve ¡°Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    But since both mother and daughter were considering his situation, he agreed, albeit reluctantly.


    ¡°In that case, this weekend I¡¯ll take you and your mother back to Red Sandstone City to formally meet my parents. Let¡¯s acknowledge our ancestors and return to the Chen family,¡± he said.


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, neither Instructor Wanyu nor Instructor Xiao Hei objected.


    In fact, upon hearing his proposal, both mother and daughter were extremely pleased.


    ¡°Or, maybe I should just bring our daughter, and I¡¯ll stay behind,¡± Wanyu hesitantly suggested after careful thought, fearing her actions might embarrass her when explaining Xiao Hei¡¯s origins to Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Since I said we¡¯ll go together, we will all go.¡±


    As the head of the family, Chen Mobai slightly frowned, indicating that everything would proceed as he had said.


    Hearing this, Wanyu¡¯s face lit up with surprise, and she shyly nodded her head.


    Chen Mobai was prepared to officially recognize her by bringing her to his home.


    ¡°Mom and Dad, I¡¯m off to work now.¡±


    At that moment, Instructor Xiao Hei quickly finished breakfast, left a message, took her little bag, and clattered downstairs.


    Once their daughter had left, the atmosphere between the two returned to its previous state of mutual respect.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go prepare some gifts to bring to Uncle and Auntie¡­¡±


    After cleaning up, Instructor Wanyu removed her apron and went to change into a set of clothes.


    Chen Mobai was considering something else, but seeing her hurried departure, he paused for a moment and then chose not to speak.


    The weekend!


    Chen Xinglan was helping out in the kitchen.


    Since their son was coming home today and said he would bring two guests, they prepared to cook extra dishes.


    Tang Panchui was too busy on her own and pulled Chen Xinglan from practicing health-preserving fist exercises in the living room to help her.


    Ding-dong, ding-dong!


    While the meal preparation was underway, the doorbell rang.


    At Tang Panchui¡¯s signal, Chen Xinglan put down what he was doing and stepped out of the kitchen.


    ¡°My son has returned, and Xiao Hei is here too. And this is¡­¡±


    From the kitchen, Tang Panchui casually listened to the conversation at the door while stirring her spoon.


    ¡°Dad, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve been hiding from you. Xiao Hei is actually my daughter, which makes her your granddaughter¡­¡±


    Clang!


    Tang Panchui, upon hearing this revelation at the door, dropped the iron spoon from her hand and it landed with a clang on the floor.


    She rushed out of the kitchen, eyes wide with disbelief, staring straight at the trio at the door.


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s face mirrored hers, filled with incredulity!


    ¡°Son, you¡¯re not joking, are you? I know your mother and I don¡¯t have many years left, and she¡¯s always talking about wanting to cuddle a granddaughter. You might want to fulfill her wish, but¡­¡±


    In the midst of speaking, Chen Xinglan looked towards the bashful and nervous beauty beside Chen Mobai, who stood in contrast to her prior confidence, only to be suddenly nudged aside by Tang Panchui from behind.


    ¡°I knew it! You¡¯ve been a council member for so many years and never once volunteered to invite anyone to our home. Turns out you were bringing our granddaughter to meet us in advance! You rascal, I don¡¯t know whether to scold you or what. You kept such a big matter hidden; why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier¡­¡±


    Tang Panchui scolded Chen Mobai, but when she turned to Instructor Xiao Hei, her face was full of loving kindness.


    ¡°Come here, my sweet granddaughter, let Grandma have a look. I always felt you were quite familiar, but didn¡¯t dare to give you a closer look.¡±


    Instructor Xiao Hei, upon hearing this, looked at Chen Mobai and Instructor Wanyu, then took the initiative to approach and let Tang Panchui hold her hands, examining her carefully from head to toe.


    ¡°You surely are my granddaughter, such a beautiful appearance!¡±


    Tang Panchui was utterly satisfied and pleased, not willing to let go of Instructor Xiao Hei¡¯s hands.


    ¡°So this must be¡­¡±


    Having finished examining Instructor Xiao Hei, Tang Panchui turned her gaze toward the beautiful and elegant young woman beside Chen Mobai.


    Instructor Wanyu was also specially dressed for the day, her innate beauty even more stunning, with a tight sweater and long dress outlining a slender, graceful figure, beneath which were a pair of legs wrapped in transparent black stockings. Coupled with a beige overcoat, her simple and fashionable attire added an intelligent charm to her.


    ¡°This is Xiao Hei¡¯s mother.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai introduced her straight away. Instructor Wanyu, who had been somewhat nervous until then, immediately presented two boxes of gifts she was carrying.


    ¡°Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I am Instructor Wanyu!¡±


    Prior to their arrival, Chen Mobai had told her that she need not explain anything, and if Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui posed any difficult questions, he would speak up.


    But even with Chen Mobai¡¯s assurances, she was incredibly nervous the whole way.


    Standing at the door, she felt her heart beating with an intensity she had never experienced before.

 Chapter 1380 - Chapter 1380 Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_4

    Chapter 1380: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_4 Chapter 1380: Chapter 744 Leading Star Ancestor_4 ¡°Very good, very good, no wonder my granddaughter is so beautiful, it turns out she inherited her mother¡¯s genes.¡±


    Tang Panchui saw the beautiful Shi Wanyu and didn¡¯t ask any other questions. She immediately treated her as her own daughter-in-law, overjoyed.


    ¡°Come on, come on, what are you still doing standing at the door? Hurry up and come in!¡±


    Tang Panchui was holding Shi Xiaohei¡¯s hands and hadn¡¯t let go yet. She led her granddaughter inside first, while Chen Mobai asked Shi Wanyu to follow, and he and Chen Xinglan entered the living room last.


    ¡°Oh my, I¡¯m still cooking. You all sit for a while, it¡¯ll be ready soon!¡±


    Upon entering the living room, a slightly burned smell wafted through the air. Tang Panchui finally let go of Xiaohei¡¯s hand and headed for the kitchen.


    ¡°Son, you¡¯ve only brought your daughter home when she¡¯s already this old. That¡¯s where you were wrong.¡±


    After confirming that Shi Xiaohei was indeed Chen Mobai¡¯s daughter, Chen Xinglan also mildly chastised Chen Mobai, suggesting that this behavior was unfair to the mother and daughter.


    Shi Wanyu immediately started to explain the reasons on the side.


    Chen Mobai wanted to interject but couldn¡¯t stop her.


    He had already told her there was no need to explain.


    However, Shi Wanyu felt that it was her mistake and didn¡¯t want Chen Mobai to be misunderstood.


    ¡°Ah, I see¡­¡±


    After learning about Xiaohei¡¯s origin, Chen Xinglan frowned slightly, but upon seeing Chen Mobai next to him, his expression quickly turned to one of joy.


    ¡°I should thank you for your proactivity; otherwise, I fear my son would not have left descendants before our passing.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s words allowed Shi Wanyu to finally relax. Her eyes turned slightly red, and she shyly lowered her head.


    ¡°Old Chen is right, but it¡¯s not right that you had a granddaughter for so long and never came to acknowledge her. If I¡¯d known I had such a lovely and beautiful granddaughter, I would have retired and moved to Yu Wood City twenty years earlier.¡±


    At that moment, Tang Panchui also brought out a dish she had prepared. She could hear everything from the kitchen, so she also knew the reason for Xiaohei¡¯s birth.


    ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s all my fault, I made a mistake back then, so I feel guilty inside.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say any more, from now on, we are all a loving family. Come, come, everyone sit down and let¡¯s eat while it¡¯s hot.¡±


    Tang Panchui immediately called for Shi Xiaohei to sit down first, and she obediently and gently sat next to her.


    ¡°Father, I brought them here today mainly to let Xiaohei recognize her ancestry and return to the family¡­¡±


    During the meal, Chen Mobai brought up this matter.


    ¡°Our Chen family categorizes generations by ¡®Purple Gold Blue White¡¯, starting from our ancestor Chen Yinzhi, to yours truly. Additionally, another branch of our Chen family in Taiyuan Cave created a division of ¡®Green Red Orange Yellow,¡¯ but we don¡¯t need to follow that¡­¡±


    Chen Xinglan started to explain the origin of the names he had told Chen Mobai about when he was a child.


    In the Chen family, the generational representative color is at the end, and only the middle character is selected by the parents.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s name was also chosen by Tang Lu, Panchui¡¯s father.


    He hoped his grandson would conform to the world!


    Mobai means black!


    Exactly lining up with the father-daughter lineage!


    ¡°Let¡¯s change her surname then, but keep the given name!¡±


    Very soon, everyone at the dinner table reached a consensus.


    From now on, Shi Xiaohei would be known as Chen Xiaohei.


    However, to protect Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, Chen Xiaohei would not be entered into their Chen family¡¯s household register.


    Fortunately, within the Immortal Gate, changing one¡¯s name merely required the consent of the adult.


    Once they returned to Yu Wood City, Xiaohei could carry her ID card and Shi Wanyu¡¯s household register to change her surname to Chen!


    Although if someone with intentions investigated in the future, they might still notice issues.


    As long as Chen Xiaohei¡¯s name isn¡¯t on their Chen family¡¯s household register, there wouldn¡¯t be direct evidence to prove she was Chen Mobai¡¯s illegitimate daughter.


    At the moment when their family was joyfully united,


    In the Gathering-Immortals Peak of Heaven-Repairing Lineage within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, the Nascent Soul Superiors had a rare gathering!


    At the Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s Gathering-Immortals Peak.


    A total of five Nascent Soul Superiors respectfully sat in the open-air square, divided to the left and right sides.


    The Head of Immortal Affairs, Righteous Law Hall Master, and Elder Yuanxu were on the left.


    The headmasters Elder Qingping of Primordial Elemental Academy and Mei Hua of Astral Observation Academy were on the right. Besides these two, there was another non-Nascent Soul cultivator.


    If Chen Mobai was here, he would have recognized him as the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion, Chen Chun!


    In front of them, a portal to the Void opened, seemingly leading to the Netherworld.


    But with the vision of five Nascent Soul Superiors, they could easily see the scene behind the portal.


    Inside, there was a living room where a short, white-haired young man sat cross-legged in front of a large-screen TV, holding a remote control in his hands, manipulating something.


    It wasn¡¯t long before a video game appeared on the big screen.


    A sexy large-breasted, gun-toting, long-haired woman controlled by the white-haired youth began facing powerful demonic beasts, bizarrely modified humans, fearsome ancient machines, and long-slumbering Demon Gods, passing through levels one by one.


    As the white-haired youth continued his gaming, the five Nascent Soul Superiors held their breath, fearing any small disturbance might affect his gameplay.


    And the only being that could command such respect from five Nascent Soul Superiors and Chen Chun at this Gathering-Immortal Mountains was one person alone ¡ª


    Huashen Ancestor, Leading Star!


    The video game seemed quite challenging, and who knows how many sunrises and sunsets later, the large-breasted, gun-toting woman finally sealed the last awakening universe Demon God without dying once, achieving a top-tier SSS-level clearance.


    ¡°Finally done! That was exhausting!¡±

    In the Void living room, the white-haired youth stretched, casually throwing the remote onto the couch, and rose from the sofa in front of the giant TV.


    ¡°Greetings, Ancestor!¡±


    At that moment, the six people outside finally dared to speak, simultaneously greeting and bowing to the white-haired youth in the Void living room.


    ¡°Eh, when did you five get here?¡±


    Hearing them speak, Leading Star turned around, lightly stepped his right foot, a flash of silver light, and he was already in front of the six people, curiously asking.

 Chapter 1381 - Chapter 1381 Chapter 745 Rules The Fruit of Daos Rule

    Chapter 1381: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule Chapter 1381: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule Qian Xing looks around fifteen or sixteen years old, with short white hair, a face still tinged with childlike innocence, dressed in ordinary shorts and a T-shirt, resembling a homebound internet-addicted teenager.


    But facing him, the five Nascent Soul Superiors from the Immortal Gate who wield authority over their respective domains on Gathering-Immortals Peak, all wear expressions of respectful homage.


    ¡°Great Ancestor, this year is when the Immortal Gate undergoes its change of term.¡±


    One of them, a tall and upright old cultivator clad in a wide silvery-white robe, responded.


    He is the Head of Immortal Affairs, an elderly individual with the countenance of a child yet white hair, named Lin Daoming.


    Among the six people present, he was the sole one whose appearance betrayed his age, with hands like withered branches, yet with a voice as clear and deep as a babbling brook.


    Lin Daoming has governed over Immortal Gate for just eight sixty-year cycles.


    From the beginning of his reign, he was determined to create a more prosperous Immortal Gate. Over the years, he diligently attended to state affairs, toiling day and night, keeping his mind clear, his insights sharp, and his decisions decisive¨Call by upholding the Guidance Book. He maintained control over every aspect of Immortal Gate.


    Under his governance of nearly five centuries, social order was well organized. He also greatly developed fields such as agriculture, handicraft, and commerce, resulting in an unprecedented leap in the Immortal Gate¡¯s economy, allowing the populace to live in peace and prosperity, with a rich quality of life.


    Even the Four Great Daoist Sects and Ten Great Academies, under his leadership, lifted recruitment restrictions. With the support of Immortal Gate¡¯s resources, these top-ranking academies cultivated a vast number of outstanding talents over the years.


    Among them, he takes the greatest pride in Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, both possessing the Qualification of Deification.


    After the passing away in meditation of both Qian Xing and Bai Guang, it is very likely that these two will be the next ones to achieve the deified state of Divinity Transformation.


    Overall, Lin Daoming¡¯s four hundred eighty years at the helm of Immortal Gate are widely acknowledged as a time of exceptional governance. Even when measured against all of Immortal Gate¡¯s history, his tenure could be hailed as ¡°A time of clear seas and tranquil rivers, with governance harmonious and the people content.¡±


    If Lin Daoming were to retire in this manner, his great achievements would be eternally inscribed in the annals of Immortal Gate¡¯s history, revered and extolled by future generations.


    ¡°Oh? Does this matter concern me?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Xing furrowed his brows slightly, his face filled with confusion.


    The succession of the Three Great Halls in Immortal Gate, and the replacement of the Sect Master, might seem like earth-shaking events to the three billion beings of Immortal Gate, but for an ancestor who has achieved the Asura Dharma Aspect like Qian Xing, they are not so significant.


    ¡°Ancestor, may I now refine ¡®Rules¡¯?¡±


    Lin Daoming hesitated before voicing his own thoughts.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Xing, who initially had a somewhat lazy gaze, swiftly sharpened his look, focusing on Lin Daoming who was seated to his left. His eyes seemed to transform into cosmic starfields, twinkling with tiny, brilliant stardust.


    This was the symbol of the ultimate realm of Guidance Book cultivation.


    Within an inch, an unlimited galaxy!


    Roughly half a quarter of an hour later, the resplendent starfield in Qian Xing¡¯s eyes vanished, reverting to normal black pupils.


    He shook his head and uttered a sentence that drove Lin Daoming to despair.


    ¡°You can¡¯t refine it.¡±


    Rules are an unconscious ¡°Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule,¡± amassed over thousands of years from teaching billions of people on Di Yuan Star, an embodiment of the moral force ensuring orderly life with contentment, national tranquility, harmony between the young and the old, and distinction between the high and low.


    Nascent Soul Complete cultivators with sufficiently strong willpower can refine this mass of Rules, thus achieving the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    Out of the thirteen Huashen ancestors throughout Immortal Gate¡¯s history, two attained Divinity Transformation through refining Rules.


    After governing for four hundred eighty years, by the regulations of Immortal Gate, Lin Daoming could apply to refine ¡°Rules¡± in an attempt at Divinity Transformation.


    But Qian Xing, using the Guidance Book for his calculations, informed him that he could not refine ¡°Rules.¡±


    Failure to refine would result in cultivators completely losing their self-consciousness, becoming a part of the Rules.


    In over six thousand years of Immortal Gate¡¯s history, there have been at least twenty attempts from the Three Great Halls¡¯ Masters.


    However, only two succeeded.


    One can imagine just how difficult it was.


    Lin Daoming had asked the same question thrice. Except for the last time when Qian Xing predicted a 1.37% chance of success, all other times, he was simply met with a shaking head, not a glimmer of possibility.


    ¡°Thank you for your efforts, venerable Ancestor!¡±


    Lin Daoming sighed deeply, expressing his gratitude to Qian Xing, who waved his hand dismissively.


    ¡°Now that everyone is here, just give me a summary of recent affairs in Immortal Gate, so I can catch up and not become a relic of a bygone era.¡±


    Qian Xing summoned a chair from the void, seated himself upon it, and then inquired to the gathering of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.


    ¡°The Immortal Gate succession is due at the end of this year. Elder Lin Daoming is set to retire officially. I will rise from Righteous Law Hall Master to take the position of Head of Immortal Affairs, with Righteous Law Hall changing hands to Narcissus, with Kaiyuan Hall Master remaining unchanged¡­¡±


    After Lin Daoming finished speaking about his own affairs, it was Ying Guanghua¡¯s turn, the Righteous Law Hall Master. He briefly talked about the changes in positions in the upcoming Immortal Gate succession meeting.


    Actually, it¡¯s mainly about the exchange of interests between the four big factions. As long as they, the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, who have been at the helm of Immortal Gate for such a long time, could balance the interests properly, they could smoothly transition through the succession.

    ¡°Mhm, proceed as you all have discussed.¡±


    After listening, Qian Xing expressed no objections. He was not keen on managing state affairs. If it weren¡¯t for the need to procure Foundation Establishment Resources from the Three Great Halls, he wouldn¡¯t have even bothered to take the civil service exams.


    Following the Head of Righteous Law, Elder Yuanxu was next.


    He merely briefed on the two matters currently under his responsibility.


    The two great Secret Techniques: ¡°Asura Dharma Aspect¡± and ¡°Blooming Moment!¡±

 Chapter 1382 - Chapter 1382 Chapter 745 Rules The Fruit of Daos Rule_2

    Chapter 1382: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule_2 Chapter 1382: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule_2 ¡°In the virtual simulation, all progress has been completed; the only thing left is to find someone to put it into practice in reality.¡±


    ¡°I remember that Cheng Xuan from Dance Tool Dao Academy tried Blooming Moment himself, didn¡¯t he?¡±


    Qian Xing had an impression of the Blooming Moment, a Forbidden Technique from the Antiquity Daoist System; after all, it was the matter he personally took care of not long ago, when he set aside games and left Gathering-Immortals Peak.


    ¡°Yes, but the results have not come out yet. Moreover, Cheng Xuan chose the Fire Spirit Tree, but Blooming Moment can actually try different types of Spirit Plants. For example, senior Lin Daoming practices Earth Attribute cultivation techniques, so the Qingxuan Dao Pine from Qingcheng Grotto Heaven would be more suitable.¡±


    Yuan Xu answered, which was also a part of the exchange between him and Lin Daoming before he went up the mountain.


    ¡°Qingxuan Dao Pine, huh¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Qian Xing¡¯s eyes once again transformed into a brilliant starry galaxy, but it didn¡¯t take long for him to shake his head.


    ¡°At most it would allow him to grasp some of the mysteries of Divinity Transformation, but it wouldn¡¯t enable him to truly complete the Primordial Spirit; it¡¯s not worth wasting such a precious Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Plant.¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Xu could only make a helpless expression towards Lin Daoming.


    Now, it was time for Elder Qingping and Meihua Superior to seek help.


    They both had some accumulated doubts about their cultivation and took this opportunity to consult Qian Xing, who answered them one by one, and then looked at Elder Qingping with some surprise.


    ¡°Nascent Soul Fifth Level, not bad at all. If you can break through to the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer, I will help you deduce if you can Refine Rules.¡±


    After hearing this, Elder Qingping immediately performed a grand salutation to thank Qian Xing.


    Last time, while helping Chen Mobai and others to open the Portal, he made his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer right here.


    Now, thirty-four years later, he has advanced to the Nascent Soul Fifth Level, and is even on the verge of reaching the bottleneck of the Sixth. This speed is neither fast nor slow within the Immortal Gate.


    Theoretically, only the Three Hall Masters have the qualifications to Refine the ¡°Rules,¡± the fruit of Dao Law.


    But as long as Elder Qingping could break through to the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer, given the power of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, arranging for him to become one of the Three Hall Masters would be an easy task.


    What follows is whether he can cultivate to Nascent Soul Complete.


    Among the five present, Yuan Xu has the highest potential to Refine Rules. When he just completed his Nascent Soul Formation, Qian Xing, with the help of the Guidance Book and the Heavenly Calculation Bead, deduced that his success rate for refinement was an astounding 13.78%!


    However, Yuan Xu felt it was too low and didn¡¯t want to gamble on this possibility since failing the refinement would mean losing himself completely. He preferred to rely on his own efforts to achieve Divinity Transformation.


    Moreover, after successfully Refining Rules, he would be bound by the laws of Immortal Gate and could not do anything against its laws, so Yuan Xu has already clearly refused.


    Qian Xing was fine with that; disciples always have a rebellious phase!


    When they grow older and becoming hopeless for Divinity Transformation, they would naturally come back to him for help.


    After the business of the five Nascent Soul Superiors was dealt with, Qian Xing stood up from his chair, ready to go back to his games.


    ¡°Ancestor, I¡¯m not content to just grow old and decay into nothingness in this life; I want to make one last attempt!¡±


    But at this moment, Lin Daoming spoke up, uttering a statement that silenced everyone.


    ¡°What sort of gamble do you want to take, Practice Forbidden Technique?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Xing revealed a smile that wasn¡¯t quite a smile and uttered a sentence that made Lin Daoming slightly tremble.


    ¡°Please grant permission, Ancestor, to unlock the Shocking God Sonata!¡±


    This was one of the Immortal Gate¡¯s routes to Divinity Transformation. Unfortunately, to this day, there has not been a cultivator of the Mystic Sound Method who completed Core Formation, which has caused the Shocking God Sonata to remain unplayed.


    However, during the years of Lin Daoming¡¯s governance, there have already been three Golden Core Cultivators gathered!


    If those three were sacrificed, the Shocking God Sonata could be played with great difficulty.


    ¡°The effect of the Shocking God Sonata on you is less than that of Blooming Moment. Keep those people; perhaps in the future, one of them will achieve Core Formation and can truly play the complete Shocking God Sonata. Therefore, I disagree.¡±


    Qian Xing flatly refused without even lifting his head.


    Without any Nascent Soul Cultivators, playing the Shocking God Sonata would not only mean sacrificing those three Golden Core Cultivators but even those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had been accumulated over hundreds of years would have to be used.


    For the possible Divinity Transformation of just one person, Lin Daoming, it was impossible to make such a gamble that would stake all their accumulated resources.


    ¡°Yes, Ancestor!¡±


    With Qian Xing¡¯s words carrying the weight of nine sacred cauldrons, once he disagreed, there would be no change in his decision.


    Lin Daoming could only forcefully suppress the bitterness in his heart and decided to do one last thing for his own Divinity Transformation.


    ¡°Then, please allow me to leave the Immortal Gate, Ancestor.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Xing narrowed his eyes, taking a deep look at Lin Daoming. After a long while, he took out a jade token and threw it to him.


    ¡°From now on, you are no longer a disciple of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your mercy, Ancestor!¡±


    After getting back his identity token, Lin Daoming felt an indescribable sensation surge up in his heart. It seemed like liberation, but also as if he had jumped from solid ground into the sea, where his firm footing gave way to a gradual sinking.


    [Is it truly from light to darkness?]


    Lin Daoming thought to himself, and upon raising his head, he found Qian Xing had already disappeared.


    The Righteous Law Hall Master and the other three stood together, yelling ¡°senior brother¡± towards him for one last time, before descending the mountain together.


    From now on, they were strangers.


    Lin Daoming looked around and saw Chen Chun was still there, to whom he nodded slightly.


    ¡°Master is waiting for you!¡±


    Just as Lin Daoming was about to descend the mountain, Chen Chun suddenly called out to stop him. Taken aback for a moment, Lin Daoming¡¯s expression then turned slightly joyful, and he followed Chen Chun to meet Qian Xing again.


    ¡°I know you have colluded with the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor from the Ascension Sect, but after you go there, keep an eye on someone for me.¡±


    In the void living room, Qian Xing played with his game and spoke to Lin Daoming without turning back, brought in by Chen Chun. Lin Daoming trembled.


    After listening to Qian Xing¡¯s instructions, Lin Daoming left Gathering-Immortals Peak with a heavy heart.


    Chen Chun saw him off the mountain and then returned to the summit.


    ¡°Master, according to destiny, Lin Daoming has no hope of Divinity Transformation, so why still let him leave the Immortal Gate?¡±


    Chen Chun didn¡¯t understand, so she asked once Qian Xing finished a game.


    ¡°Destiny is impermanent. Your cultivation level is not high enough; you can only be limited to this person. Just like how I initially thought Yu Baiguang could not achieve Divinity Transformation, didn¡¯t she also cleave through her own destiny and host her Primordial Spirit in her sword!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Chun almost retorted¨CAncestor Baiguang is an exception.


    But this exception indeed proved that there were flaws in the prophetic techniques of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    ¡°Master, why did Ancestor Baiguang choose to undergo reincarnation?¡±


    It just so happened they were talking about Baiguang, and Chen Chun asked another question that had always puzzled her.


    Baiguang achieved Divinity Transformation later than Qian Xing. Even Qian Xing hasn¡¯t reached the ultimate in Divinity Transformation, consuming Sixth-Order Spiritual Energy and condensing Heaven-repairing Celestial Light every day in pursuit of a realm beyond Divinity Transformation.


    Logically, Baiguang should also concentrate all her efforts on cultivating her fundamental realm atop the only Sixth Grade Spirit Vein in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, instead of being distracted by reincarnation and wasting time.


    ¡°That¡¯s because she saw the threads wrapped around her sword; her sword may have cleaved her own destiny and housed the Primordial Spirit, but it has not yet cut through the entanglements of Yu Baiguang as a person in the mortal world.¡±


    Qian Xing¡¯s words made Chen Chun thoughtful, but this was a realm of the highest order in The Divine Machine Mansion¡¯s prophecy arts, and with her current mere Golden Core cultivation, she couldn¡¯t comprehend it at all.


    She wanted to ask further, but Qian Xing, already impatient, waved his hand, urging her to leave quickly.


    He had already started another game and was fully engaged in battle.


    Chen Chun could only bow and depart from Qian Xing¡¯s Void Domain.


    No one knew that this was the very place where Qian Xing¡¯s Sword had once cleaved open a star!

    ¡­


    Chen Mobai took Shi Wanyu and her daughter to stay for two days in Red Sandstone City.


    Her daughter had to go to work on Monday.


    And after returning to Yu Wood City, he received an email from the Kaiyuan Hall Rotational Committee, inviting him to attend the Immortal Gate¡¯s transition conference at the end of the year.


    As a member of the Immortal Gate, it was both his right and his duty.

 Chapter 1383 - Chapter 1383 Chapter 746 Breaking Barriers (9k)

    Chapter 1383: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k) Chapter 1383: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k) After receiving the email from Kaiyuan Hall, Chen Mobai obtained the authority to head to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    At the Immortal Sect, they imposed many restrictions on these official Golden Core Masters.


    However, the corresponding benefits were also quite good. At least in Red Sandstone City, resources like Rank-4 Superior Spirit Veins and Spirit Rice were supplied by the Immortal Sect for free.


    Half an hour after he received the email, Che Yucheng made a call.


    The master and apprentice mainly discussed the transition of power at the Immortal Sect.


    Since the Weapon Dancing Sect was currently weak among the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect, these matters had little to do with them.


    This power transition at the Immortal Sect was primarily between Patching Heaven and Kunpeng.


    Among the Three Hall Masters, one from Patching Heaven, Lin Daoming, was missing, and one with Kunpeng and Sea Territory background, Narcissus, was added.


    In recent centuries, Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy have been mostly sidelined.


    All thanks to Ancestor Baiguang, otherwise Patching Heaven and Kunpeng might have long devoured most of their interests within the Three Great Halls.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just watch them construct high towers and perform on stage; right now, our two sects just need to wait.¡±


    ¡°Once you and Wen Ren undergo Nascent Soul Formation, we¡¯ll exert our strength to push you to the position of one of the Three Hall Masters.¡±


    ¡°Then, the power of the Immortal Sect will once again rotate into our two sects¡¯ hands¡­¡±


    Over the phone, Che Yucheng¡¯s words were calm yet filled with confidence.


    The summary was: we can¡¯t compete now, so endure a bit, our future is promising.


    Originally, before Chen Mobai¡¯s meteoric rise, their reliance within the two sects was on Wen Ren Xuewei, who had cultivated the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    After Chen Mobai appeared, with an astonishing compatibility with the Pure Yang Scroll and the Qualification of Deification, their Weapon Dancing Sect was even more delighted.


    After all, Wen Ren Xuewei belonged to Jumang, not their own.


    Also, due to the nature of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had no ambitions of entering public service before Nascent Soul Formation, and had not even tested to enter Kaiyuan Hall, which was why.


    ¡°This Immortal Sect transition, you heading to Wangwu Cave Heaven in advance, Wang Shuye will introduce you to some people, these are all our Weapon Dancing Sect¡¯s foundation, which will all be passed to your hands in the future.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words indeed stirred Chen Mobai¡¯s interest, as becoming the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect had always been his dream since childhood.


    However, he still felt it might be better to network in the Immortal Sect after his own Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Teacher, Wang Shuye is in the prime of his life, and besides, I¡¯m taciturn by nature and only versed in cultivation, not good at networking¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had ambitions, but was also very pragmatic.


    At the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Sect, the most useful thing for him was the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine.


    But in Tianhe Realm, he could gather resources for Infant-Feeding Elixir under the name of Five Elements Sect and even establish the Five Elements Commerce Association to see if they could get Coagulation Infant Pills or even Three Lights Divine Water through the connection with Jiutian Dangmo Sect.


    Additionally, with his nearly perfected Primordial True Qi, he basically didn¡¯t need to strive for resources for Nascent Soul Formation at the Immortal Sect.


    So, networking was something he was not very interested in.


    ¡°This Immortal Gate transition is also when resources are allocated; Wang Shuye will be able to get an Infant-Feeding Elixir.¡±


    ¡°He entered Kaiyuan Hall just for this purpose, now that he¡¯s achieved his goals, he¡¯s planning to retire and prepare for Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    ¡°When he retires, our lineage within the The Three Great Halls will need to push for another spokesperson, among all Golden Core Masters, you are the best qualified. If you don¡¯t step up, there will first be a fierce internal strife within our Weapon Dancing Sect for this spokesperson¡¯s position.¡±


    ¡°Now only if you come forward and take over the Daoist Academy¡¯s network within the Three Great Halls will everyone be without complaints¡­¡±


    Che Yucheng stated the main purpose he made the call for today, and Chen Mobai felt a headache.


    Sometimes being too outstanding was problematic; in the Immortal Sect Weapon Dancing Sect lineage, apart from him, the rest of the Golden Core Masters were evenly matched, and no one accepted the others.


    Only with Chen Mobai succeeding was there unanimous approval.


    Che Yucheng had spoken to this extent; if he refused further, it would be somewhat ungrateful for the many years of cultivation by the Weapon Dancing Sect.


    Especially now, when Master Chengxuan was in seclusion testing Blooming Moment, it was even more necessary for him to step forward.


    Thus, Chen Mobai could only nod in agreement.


    ¡°When you reach Wangwu Cave Heaven, also make more connections with the Jumang Academy; our two sects have been allies for thousands of years, at least until Patching Heaven and Kunpeng decline, we will always be allies.¡±


    Che Yucheng was satisfied but still gave a very discreet reminder at the end.


    Chen Mobai understood his meaning.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Due to Patching Heaven and Kunpeng¡¯s large influence, their Weapon Dancing and Jumang had always supported each other.


    But in the future, if Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, both with Qualification of Deification, grew up and held the power of the Immortal Sect, in a situation where one mountain can¡¯t accommodate two tigers, there was a high probability of political strife between Weapon Dancing and Jumang.


    Just like currently with Patching Heaven and Kunpeng, but since Patching Heaven had Qian Xing, they had consistently suppressed Kunpeng.


    The rise of Narcissus this time was also due to the face of Spiritual Venerable behind him.


    Righteous Law Hall Master Ying Guanghua originally studied in the Sea Territory where he secured an unparalleled foundation with Heavenly Realm Pure Water, so it was also to repay a favor.

 Chapter 1384 - Chapter 1384 Chapter 746 Breaking Barriers (9k)_2

    Chapter 1384: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_2 Chapter 1384: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_2 ¡°After this leadership change, the influence of Patching Heaven and Kunpeng will be not much different. In the future, there will likely be some competition and conflicts over higher-level resources.


    However, Chen Mobai had already thought of a way to avoid such a scenario.


    He was not interested in the resources on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, and he could simply retire if necessary.


    Moreover, with Wen Ren Xuewei mastering the Lasting Spring Cultivation and possessing the Sixth Rank Fairy Plant Great Chun Tree, which allows for unlimited trial and error, she probably wouldn¡¯t compete with him to the end over the trivial resources of the Immortal Gate.


    As long as the two leaders restrain each other in the future, internal consumption can be avoided.


    But these matters still need to be discussed in person with Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai made a phone call to her.


    ¡°Alright, once you arrive at Wangwu Cave Heaven, I¡¯ll invite you for tea.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei, clever as snow, grasped the meaning behind his mere hint and invited him with a smile.


    After hanging up the phone, the sounds of footsteps descending the stairs arose; his daughter, dressed in the black suit skirt from earlier, came down to eat breakfast before going to work.


    ¡°During work, it¡¯s better to wear more formal clothing, go change into some trousers after eating.¡±


    Chen Mobai had just recognized his daughter recently and found it somewhat difficult to comment at first, but now that the family was harmonious, he felt it necessary as the head of the family to make a suggestion.


    Chen Xiaohei, upon hearing this, puffed her cheeks while eating breakfast, and ultimately responded reluctantly.


    ¡°Dad, I heard you talking on the phone upstairs. Are you going to Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    After changing into trousers that matched the suit, Chen Xiaohei, seeing there was still some time, couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Indeed, the Immortal Gate leadership change is at the end of the year, at which time Committee member Wang Shuye will prepare to step down. The talent at the Daoist Academy is dwindling, and only I can take over, so the teacher called me to head to the Imperial City earlier to take over the leadership of our lineage.¡±


    Chen Xiaohei also graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and as his daughter with Five Peaks Immortal Mountains behind her, she would definitely be a significant figure in their lineage in the future. Thus, Chen Mobai had no intention of hiding these matters from her, adopting her grandfather¡¯s educational methods to start inculcating in her various facets of governance.


    In this way, once she formed her Core, he could retire early and hand over the administration of the Dance Tool Dao Academy lineage to her.


    ¡°Dad, could you also make a trip to Immortal Peak by any chance? I left some things there in a rush last time.¡±


    Chen Xiaohei mentioned her intentions, and Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing them, as he also planned to meet Zhongli Tianyu at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains around that time.


    Just wondering if he could see Ancestor Baiguang during his visit to Immortal Peak?


    ¡°Dad, this is grandma¡¯s number; when you want to go, just contact her. I¡¯ll speak to grandma about it in advance.¡±


    Chen Xiaohei sent Yu Huiping¡¯s phone card to Chen Mobai via a text message, and he added it immediately to his contacts list.


    Then, in front of Chen Mobai, Chen Xiaohei called Yu Huiping to inform her, and the latter said to let her know before coming.


    ¡°I¡¯m heading to work now, goodbye Dad and Mom!¡±


    Watching his daughter dash downstairs, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile that even he did not notice.


    After the family of three had finished breakfast, Shi Wanyu started cleaning up.


    ¡°On the Immortal Gate Network, I can reserve one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings every month. If you¡¯re interested in trying Foundation Establishment, I can prepare one for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai broached a topic he had been meaning to discuss when he saw Shi Wanyu.


    With his daughter¡¯s talent and his support, she was bound to achieve Core Formation in the future.


    If Shi Wanyu were to pass away early, leaving only him as her father, his daughter would certainly be heartbroken, so Chen Mobai wanted to help Shi Wanyu attempt Foundation Establishment within his capacities.


    Hearing this, Shi Wanyu trembled involuntarily.


    She lifted her attractive face to meet Chen Mobai¡¯s earnest gaze, visibly moved, but ultimately she shook her head in refusal.


    ¡°My talent is average, and having already passed the age of sixty, even if I take a complete set of Foundation Establishment Trithings, the probability of success is not high. Let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    Shi Wanyu was clearly very aware of her own situation and didn¡¯t believe she could succeed in Foundation Establishment at her age.


    ¡°Our daughter has grown up without a father¡¯s love, and now that our family of three is finally reunited, I don¡¯t wish for just the two of us to be left after a few decades. I will still prepare the Foundation Establishment Trithings for you; please consider it.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts, knowing full well that the possibility of Shi Wanyu succeeding in Foundation Establishment was extremely slim, just like his late father Chen Xinglan.


    But he would still prepare them as possible because, for him as a Golden Core Master, the rights to reserve each month were mostly going to waste anyway. Preparing the Trithings for Shi Wanyu could also be seen as making the best use of them.


    ¡°Um¡­¡±


    Shi Wanyu replied quietly after hearing this.

    At night,


    after the family of three had dinner, Chen Mobai coughed lightly.


    ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Xiaohei, who was picking her teeth, asked seeing his action.


    ¡°Today, since we have some free time, let me give you some guidance on cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai used to enjoy teaching others back in the Tianhe Realm. Now, with his own daughter, he was even more inclined to do so, believing she could try to comprehend the path of Core Formation.¡±)

 Chapter 1385 - Chapter 1385 Chapter 746 Breaking Barriers (9k)_3

    Chapter 1385: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_3 Chapter 1385: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_3 After all, she is equivalent to the female version of the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    If she could condense a Gold Core without relying on the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, just like her father, it would certainly become a splendid tale within the Immortal Gate.


    For this reason, Chen Mobai had intensively studied Five Elements Cultivation and even re-watched the lecture videos of Elder Qingping under the status of the Guidance Book.


    Considering that Five Elements Cultivation is only the most basic technique within the Immortal Gate, and that those who cultivate it to the Foundation Building Realm are few and far between, Chen Mobai could now say that he was second only to Elder Qingping as an expert in Five Elements Cultivation.


    However, to his surprise, Chen Xiaohei¡¯s understanding of Five Elements Cultivation was no less than his own.


    Upon inquiry, he learned that when she was young, Elder Qingping had been invited by Yu Huiping to give her private lessons on Wangxian Peak.


    The two of them had even kept in contact, and whenever Chen Xiaohei encountered any confusions in her Five Elements Cultivation, she could always consult Elder Qingping, who typically replied at the first instance.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai broke out in a cold sweat.


    Even if he were to cheat, his understanding of Five Elements Cultivation could never surpass that of Elder Qingping, but seeing his daughter¡¯s expectant eyes, he could only rummage through his own knowledge pool to figure out how to ¡°instruct¡± her properly.


    In the end, he thought of the supreme divine skill of the Five Elements Sect, the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    This was left by True Lord Yuan and could only be cultivated on the basis of unifying the Five Elements ¨C a perfect match for the Five Elements Cultivation.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai was still concerned; after all, one was the basic cultivation technique of the Immortal Gate, while the other was the Ascension Secret Method of the Tianhe Realm. He was unsure if the Formless Puppet could deduce how to bridge the two.


    ¡°When I was young, I was also a playful type. It was only in my senior year of high school that I realized that I couldn¡¯t go on like that, so I started to study hard and, in the end, I was admitted to the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Before I entered the Daoist Academy, I practiced this Five Elements Cultivation. Back then, I had an idea: what would be the result if the Five Elements Spiritual Power were cultivated separately and then fused together again?¡±


    ¡°After I formed my Core, I remembered this childhood idea, and during my daily cultivation, I also began to experiment with this using the Guidance Book, and indeed I made some headway.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai raised his right hand, and the brilliant multicolored Primordial True Qi lit up from his palm. In front of Chen Xiaohei¡¯s widened eyes, it turned into a glowing and colorful orb, changing luminance like a constantly revolving lantern.


    ¡°Dad, what spell is this?¡±


    Chen Xiaohei asked in surprise, not yet realizing the formidable essence of Primordial True Qi.


    ¡°I call it ¡®Yuan-Qi¡¯!¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated, then gave Primordial True Qi a new name within the Immortal Gate, still naming it after True Lord Yuan, as it was the creation of a predecessor.


    ¡°Dad, apart from looking pretty, what use is this Yuan-Qi?¡±


    Chen Xiaohei¡¯s question almost choked Chen Mobai. How could this top-secret method of the Tianhe Realm be seen as just a pretty sight?


    ¡°Cast a spell at me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Chen Xiaohei hesitate, and then she carefully cast a Water Sword Technique.


    Suddenly, the invisible currents in the room condensed into a sword, but without forming an edge, it looked like a long, cylindrical column of water rushing towards Chen Mobai.


    He lifted the Primordial True Qi in his palm, perfectly blocking the Water Sword Technique and transforming it into the purest form of Water Spirit Qi.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Xiaohei¡¯s eyes widened in surprise at this spectacle.


    Chen Mobai gestured for her to continue using Five Elements Spells.


    Since she had cultivated Five Elements Cultivation, she was capable of casting spells from all Five Elements.


    In no time, one Five Elements Spell after another, under the influence of Chen Mobai¡¯s palm-held Primordial True Qi, turned into pure clumps of Five Elements Spiritual Energy.


    ¡°Dad, teach me, teach me! I want to learn this!¡±


    Chen Xiaohei, as the top graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and with first-class talents and intelligence, immediately recognized the might of the Yuan-Qi.


    Once mastered, all Five Elements Spells would become useless to her.


    ¡°This Yuan-Qi has taken me decades to barely master. Today, as I pass it on to you, you must remember not to be greedily overambitious¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had salvaged his pride in front of his daughter and breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling that Zhou Ye had instructed him to only teach this technique to those with the Five Elements Meridians, he asked Chen Xiaohei to formally acknowledge him as her master.


    ¡°Take you as my master?¡±


    Though Chen Xiaohei was somewhat surprised, since Chen Mobai had said so, she did not ponder further and directly performed the Immortal Gate¡¯s gesture of discipleship towards him.


    ¡°This technique is still in its infancy, so you can practice it on your own. Without my permission, you must never teach it to others.¡±


    While imparting the Primordial Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai earnestly cautioned her, and Chen Xiaohei immediately nodded, her heart and mind completely captivated by the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Dad, this seems a bit difficult to cultivate.¡±


    Chen Xiaohei tried it and immediately showed a look of difficulty.


    She now possessed the Heavenly Water Spirit Root, and according to the cultivation method of Primordial True Qi, she needed to cultivate the Water Attribute to its ultimate state before using the order of the Five Elements generating cycle to derive and transform, eventually unifying the Five Elements.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that with her Five Elements Cultivation, there might be another way¨Cthat is, to cultivate all Five Elements simultaneously.


    ¡°When you cultivate, try to cultivate balanced Five Elements Spiritual Power, and then convert that power into Yuan-Qi. It may be that due to your lower realm, you won¡¯t be able to achieve this at the Foundation Building Realm, but with persistent cultivation, one day you will succeed.¡±

 Chapter 1386 - Chapter 1386 Chapter 746 Breaking Barriers (9k)_4

    Chapter 1386: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_4 Chapter 1386: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_4 This was also a method that Chen Mobai came up with after hanging the Crown of Heaven and Earth on the Primordial Dao Fruit and combining the knowledge from the Guidance Book with that of the Immortal Gate.


    Because the Five Elements Spiritual Power cultivated through the teachings of the Immortal Gate is adapted to the attributes of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.


    Theoretically, cultivators of the Immortal Gate could use the Art of Spiritual Root to cultivate their Five Elements Spiritual Root values to an identical state.


    Having Innate Five Elements Spiritual Roots all at 20 might be even rarer than possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root, but randomly picking someone with four false spirit root attributes is a common occurrence.


    For cultivators with a False Spiritual Root, they take the highest value of their Five Elements Spiritual Root as the standard and cultivate the arts of the other four elements¡¯ spiritual roots, potentially completing this step before Foundation Establishment due to only needing to increase a single-digit value.


    For example, a cultivator with Five Elements Spiritual Roots all at 30 points would cultivate Five Elements Cultivation and achieve the most balanced Five Elements Spiritual Power.


    According to the theory of the Primordial Dao Fruit, this is the perfect state of simultaneous Five Elements cultivation!


    The cultivated Spiritual Power could then be easily converted into Primordial True Qi.


    However, to refine Spiritual Power into True Qi requires at least the Cultivation Level of Core Formation Late Stage, so although Chen Mobai has imparted the Primordial Dao Fruit to Chen Xiaohei, he does not expect her to achieve it during the Foundation Building Realm.


    Just lay the foundation for now, and let her understand the concept; when her Primordial True Qi is greatly accomplished and after Nascent Soul Formation, then find a way to infuse her with a complete ¡°Yuan-Qi.¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t planned to impart this so soon, but today, he had backed himself into a corner, so to avoid dealing with the consequences, he had no choice but to reveal the Primordial Dao Fruit to her beforehand.


    ¡°Dad, let me try.¡±


    After hearing about the cultivation method of the Primordial Dao Fruit, Chen Xiaohei was full of interest. For her, the challenge was to cultivate Five Elements Spiritual Power that was balanced.


    With unbalanced Five Elements Spiritual Roots, this would require her to control the intake of Five Element Spiritual Energy, which is a real test of Divine Sense and willpower.


    But, anyway, she¡¯s decades away from obtaining the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, so she could spend the time after reaching perfection in Foundation Establishment trying to cultivate this.


    As Chen Xiaohei attempted the cultivation, Chen Mobai watched over her intently to prevent any mistakes in her refinement of the Five Elements Spiritual Power.


    Soon, Chen Xiaohei cultivated her first strand of Spiritual Power that she thought was balanced across the Five Elements, but after Chen Mobai checked it, he found it was quite a bit off.


    He directly used his Primordial True Qi to dissolve the imperfect Spiritual Power and had Chen Xiaohei start over again.


    Shi Wanyu, who was on the side with a lower realm, did not realize the formidable aspect of this ¡°Yuan-Qi,¡± but seeing the father and daughter, one teaching diligently and the other learning earnestly, couldn¡¯t help but reveal a happy smile on her face.


    For her, this was the most fulfilling moment.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop here for today. Tomorrow, I will continue guiding your cultivation.¡±


    After dispersing his daughter¡¯s improperly balanced Five Elements Spiritual Power and seeing the sky getting dark, Chen Mobai told her to go upstairs to rest.


    ¡°Okay, Dad. You and Mom should rest early, too.¡±


    Chen Xiaohei wiped the sweat from her forehead, as controlling the intake of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy she was refining required a lot of Divine Sense, indeed making her somewhat fatigued.


    After she went upstairs, only Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu remained on the second floor.


    Over these days, both had grown accustomed to each other¡¯s presence.


    In the beginning, Shi Wanyu would sleep still clothed, but now she naturally went to the bathroom to wash up and change into her pajamas before coming out.


    Chen Mobai decided to continue consolidating his realm by meditating on the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram each day and then using the Flame Lighting Technique to refine his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    This way, his Golden Core at the Seventh Layer, which he had forcibly broken through using the Pure Yang Purple Qi, was quickly stabilized. The Gold Core in his Dantian Qi Sea shrank significantly after the refinement of the Flame Lighting Technique, but it became even more dazzling and eye-catching.


    This signified that the foundation was now stable and no further condensing was required.


    Chen Mobai was elated and opened his eyes.


    Little did he know he would see Shi Wanyu, who had just come out of the bathroom.


    Her long hair was wet and draped softly over her shoulders, her fair skin had a fresh and moist sheen, as if gently touched by the steam, making it even more delicate and smooth.


    Her soft pajamas clung to her body, the loose fit unable to conceal her graceful body curves, the slender waist, the upright torso, and the pair of bare, pale legs made up her even more enchanting figure as she matured.


    When she stepped out, her face carried a relaxed and comfortable aura, her smile bright and warm, which made Chen Mobai feel a sense of warmth and comfort.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    At this moment, Shi Wanyu also saw Chen Mobai, who had opened his eyes and was looking at her, and she couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes, lifting her hand in shock and gently covering her delicate lips.

    Previously, after Chen Mobai entered the room, he would typically meditate with his eyes closed until dawn.


    ¡°I had a breakthrough in cultivation, so I finished earlier today.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave his reason, and after hearing it, Shi Wanyu gently nodded.


    A silence fell between the two.


    After a few breaths, Shi Wanyu bit her moist lips, her cheeks flushing pink as she suddenly asked:

 Chapter 1387 - Chapter 1387 Chapter 746 Breaking Barriers (9k)_5

    Chapter 1387: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_5 Chapter 1387: Chapter 746: Breaking Barriers (9k)_5 ¡°Shall we rest earlier together?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression hesitated.


    He wanted to refuse, but seeing Shi Wanyu trembling as if her entire body was shaking, he sighed in his heart and ended up nodding.


    ¡°You go to bed first, I¡¯ll go wash up.¡±


    Hearing his words, a glow suddenly blossomed across Shi Wanyu¡¯s gently flushed cheeks, and her eyes brightened as she nodded.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t bathed for a long time, and after he entered the bathroom, he couldn¡¯t help but slap his own forehead.


    He was somewhat surprised at himself for nodding earlier.


    Perhaps it was because it had been too long since he last did that kind of thing, and he couldn¡¯t bear to refuse Shi Wanyu¡­


    After thinking of several reasons, Chen Mobai quickly finished showering, gathered the water droplets from his body into a water sphere, and placed it into the water bucket, then left the bathroom.


    The room¡¯s lighting had changed to a warm, pale yellow. Chen Mobai saw that Shi Wanyu had already curled up under the quilt. Although cultivators no longer feared cold, the blanket was merely a thin one, revealing more clearly her mature, feminine allure.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t realize when he got into the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and saw Shi Wanyu turned sideways, slightly trembling in a light black nightgown.


    The nightgown covered most of her body curves, but the full, rounded legs under the dress were directly and plainly visible to him.


    Just then, Shi Wanyu turned around, her cheeks blushing and her eyes shy yet bright, like stars in the dim light.


    ¡°Turn off the light!¡±


    She said, somewhat flushed and embarrassed. Chen Mobai gently nodded and soon, the room was enveloped in complete darkness.


    ¡­


    The next morning, as usual, Chen Xiaohei went downstairs, but unexpectedly it was Chen Mobai making breakfast.


    ¡°Your mom isn¡¯t feeling well, I let her rest¡­¡±


    It took a moment for Chen Xiaohei to realize after she left the house that although her mom wasn¡¯t highly advanced in cultivation, being a ninth layer Qi Cultivator, she had always been healthy.


    Although she and her mother hadn¡¯t spent much time together, she had never seen Shi Wanyu sick.


    Could it be a serious illness?


    Worried, Chen Xiaohei was about to go back and ask.


    But soon, she realized something, at the flower shop¡¯s entrance she listened intently for a while and couldn¡¯t help but blush and embarrassedly turned and left.


    In the evening when Xiaohei returned, seeing Shi Wanyu¡¯s rosy complexion and a nurtured look, she felt secretly happy.


    After breaking down the barriers between the parents, this family became even sweeter and warmer for Chen Xiaohei.


    Chen Mobai also rarely relaxed a bit himself.


    He began to follow Che Yucheng¡¯s instructions, contacting Wang Shuye, and from him obtained the list of public officials from all the Immortal Gates in the Dance Tool Dao Academy lineage, across all the Three Great Halls and Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands.


    This list, Wang Shuye had actually prepared for him a long time ago.


    Chen Mobai contacted them, starting from the Golden Core Masters one by one.


    Fortunately, his name was globally recognized; over the phone, they were all very courteous.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t converse deeply, just got acquainted and arranged a meeting during the Immortal Gate transition at the end of the year at Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    To that extent, basically everyone understood the implications and promised to attend.


    Time gradually passed, and one morning Chen Mobai woke up and let go of the quivering, voluptuous beauty in his arms and booked a flight ticket to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Since he had to transfer in Red Sandstone City, he had to leave a day earlier.


    Both mother and daughter were naturally reluctant to see him go.


    But they understood that their man was off to handle major affairs, so they could only watch him leave.


    Honestly, Chen Mobai almost indulged himself in this Land of Tender Love.


    In this three-story small building, he experienced an unprecedented satisfaction and warmth, pleasure, and happiness.


    This sense of being completely filled, both physically and mentally, made him feel that living like this his entire life wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea.


    Had it not been for Wang Shuye calling to urge him, he might not have decided to go to Wangwu Cave Heaven so soon.


    In the VIP waiting hall of Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai was sitting with his eyes closed, reminiscing about the beautiful moments he had experienced recently, when suddenly his brows furrowed and he opened his eyes.


    He looked towards the door, where an invisible black insect was flying towards him.


    It was a mechanical puppet bug.


    As a Rank-3 Puppet Master of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai knew at first glance that even he couldn¡¯t create such a finely crafted puppet bug with his own skills.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level, he naturally captured the puppet bug with ease.


    However, he knew that it was the puppet¡¯s master who had intentionally allowed him to discover it.


    The puppet bug carried a piece of information. After connecting it to his Heavenly Calculation Bead, Chen Mobai quickly deciphered it.


    It recorded a place name.


    Upon seeing it, Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils couldn¡¯t help but tighten.


    That place was¡­


    There were two locations in Yu Wood City that Chen Mobai had always forbidden himself to visit or delve into, given their profound implications.


    One was the prison previously guarded by Miao Wanliang, but Chen Mobai had already broken that rule because of Chen Xiaohei.


    And the other was the facility where Qing Nu and others were raised as part of the Immortal Sprout nurturing program during their childhood.


    Although Lan Haitian had said that the facility had been dealt with by the relevant authorities and that there would no longer be any clues,


    Chen Mobai always felt that there were still many secrets hidden there.


    And now, the place recorded on this puppet bug was that location.


    Chen Mobai thought for a long time, tempted to ignore it.


    But from this puppet bug, he guessed who the person inviting him was.


    Within the Immortal Gate, the only ones superior to him in Puppetry Technique, besides Che Yucheng, was the mysterious middle-aged puppeteer he had encountered at Guda Courtyard.


    It was also he who had informed Chen Mobai that Shi Qing was the reincarnation of the Soldier resolved by Master Huakai.


    That person was almost certainly the legendary Master Xin Ji.


    Chen Mobai had thought that after the puppet¡¯s self-destruction last time, he had completely disappeared from Yu Wood City.


    It turned out he had a backup plan.


    After a moment¡¯s thought, Chen Mobai decided to get up and meet this person.


    After all, he needed to ensure that no force capable of threatening his daughter remained.


    While pondering, he stood up, entered the restroom, and then left the waiting hall through the Underworld Array with a series of teleportations.


    After several teleportations, he approached the sealed experimental base for the Immortal Sprout nurturing program.


    However, being a cautious person by nature, Chen Mobai did not enter with his true body but instead controlled a Formless Puppet to go in his stead.


    As Lan Haitian had said, the experimental base was indeed empty and desolate, with all devices and tools removed, leaving only open rooms, boxy and stacked against a wall without windows, only doors, resembling prison cells.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Formless Puppet utilized its scanning function to check all enclosed hidden spaces here, confirming there was no one around.


    Just as he was about to leave, an old-fashioned LCD screen embedded in the wall suddenly lit up with electricity.


    ¡°Representative Chen is quite overly cautious, to meet using a puppet!¡±


    From within the LCD screen, this person with his back to Chen Mobai spoke with a synthesized electronic voice.


    ¡°I am Yi Yuan, just speak directly, I need to catch a transport.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Facing a stranger, Chen Mobai naturally did not admit his identity, and this time he did not simulate his own face with the Formless Puppet, instead randomly using the face of a cultivator from the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then we can¡¯t proceed with the discussion. The secrets I¡¯m about to share can only be heard by Representative Chen.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t entertain him further and directly commanded the Formless Puppet to turn around and leave.


    Just as he was about to fly out of the experimental base, the screen suddenly flickered a few times, as if it was glitching.


    ¡°Ah, ah, ah, wait¡­¡±


    But Chen Mobai turned a deaf ear and swiftly flew out.

 Chapter 1388 - Chapter 1388 Chapter 747 Furnace of Life (7K)

    Chapter 1388: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K) Chapter 1388: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K) ¡°Qing Nu is in danger, I hope you can help her?¡±


    Chen Mobai, just having flown out of the laboratory, heard these words synthesized by the electronic voice on the screen.


    He couldn¡¯t help but stop mid-air.


    Turning his head, he saw the figure on the old-style liquid crystal display screen had also turned around, it was the marionette middle-aged man he had met at Guda Courtyard.


    ¡°Are you really Xin Ji?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s question made the marionette middle-aged man hesitate for a moment, but at this point, there was no need to hide anymore, so he nodded.


    ¡°I am Yan Xinji.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    So Qing Nu¡¯s last name is Yan!


    I wonder if she would be willing to take on this surname?


    ¡°What danger is Qing Nu in?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. Within the Immortal Gate, he didn¡¯t regard many as friends, but without a doubt, Qing Nu was one of them.


    If it was about her, he was willing to delay here for some time.


    ¡°Lin Daoming is going to retire after this term changeover, and in order to grasp the last chance of Divinity Transformation, he has decided to comprehend an ancient Forbidden Technique.¡±


    ¡°Qing Nu is the most excellent Tao Seed from the Immortal Sprout cultivation project he once led, even having a strand of essence energy from the ancient Supreme Treasure, Furnace of Life, refined into her genes, which will merge at the moment of her Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°If Lin Daoming takes Qing Nu¡¯s Gold Core for Refining and combines it with the ancient Forbidden Technique, he may possibly rejuvenate and live another life.¡±


    After listening to Yan Xinji¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately furrowed his brows.


    ¡°What is the Furnace of Life?¡±


    This was a term he had never heard of within Immortal Gate.


    ¡°It is said that millions of years ago, before humans existed on Di Yuan Star, the Furnace of Life was a naturally occurring mysterious basin on the land, containing the profound mysteries of Creation. One day, a bolt of heavenly lightning fell into it, bringing with it the Mystery of life that fused into a colorful stone within the basin, after which the first human was born.¡±


    ¡°The Furnace of Life is one of Di Yuan Star¡¯s Supreme Treasure artifacts that create life. In ancient times, cultivators discovered that condensing a Gold Core or a Nascent Soul inside it naturally enhanced the success rate by thirty percent.¡±


    ¡°At first, as a sacred ground for cultivators from the Antiquity Daoist System, anyone trying to make a breakthrough could enter it. But as time went on, a group of cultivators started to gather and attempted to seize the Furnace of Life, forbidding others from entering.¡±


    ¡°This led to dissatisfaction among all cultivators across the world, and of course, a great war ensued. Ultimately, the group that had taken early possession of the Furnace of Life won; they called themselves ¡®Divine Sect.''¡±


    When Yan Xinji reached this part, Chen Mobai finally heard a familiar term.


    Divine Sect!


    Isn¡¯t that the most powerful lineage of the Antiquity Daoist System?


    After developing on Di Yuan Star for over three thousand years, Immortal Gate had only just managed to completely annihilate the Divine Sect and had branded them as the ¡°heretical sect.¡±


    At least when Chen Mobai was young, he had often seen TV dramas where the villains received the heretical sect¡¯s legacy from the Divine Sect and suddenly increased their powers.


    ¡°Is the Divine Sect considered the strongest lineage in the Antiquity Daoist System because they had the Furnace of Life?¡±


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask again, but Yan Xinji on the electronic screen shook his head and continued.


    ¡°The cultivators of Divine Sect believed they had received an enlightenment from the Earth Mother Goddess; each time a cultivator entered the Furnace of Life, they were extracting the essence of Di Yuan Star, and over time, the land would slowly disappear, eventually turning into cosmic dust.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after the war, several of the highest Cultivation Level members of Divine Sect joined forces to seal the Furnace of Life, forbidding anyone from using it.¡±


    ¡°When Divine Sect perished at the hands of Immortal Gate, they used their last strength to shatter the Furnace of Life. The Five Ancestors of Xianmen made a desperate effort but only managed to collect some fragments. Accordingly, a void appeared on the planet, and the essence of the Earth continued to flow out unchecked, turning the area surrounding the Furnace of Life into a desert spanning thousands of miles.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly frowned as if something had occurred to him.


    ¡°Could the location of the Furnace of Life be¡­ Jumang Academy!?¡±

    Yan Xinji couldn¡¯t help but nod, impressed that Chen Mobai was indeed worthy of being the strongest genius of Immortal Gate in a millennium¨Che had just started discussing the topic and had already pinpointed the critical issue.


    ¡°When the Five Ancestors of Xianmen first arrived on Di Yuan Star, they discovered the Profound Mystery of the Furnace of Life, so they directly took action to demand that Divine Sect give it up. Naturally, Divine Sect wasn¡¯t willing, and after a fierce fight, most of the higher-ups of Divine Sect were decimated. However, at that time, since the Five Ancestors had not yet begun preaching here, many Divine Sect disciples escaped with their legacies.¡±


    ¡°Later, due to the shattering of the Furnace of Life, Changchun Ancestor planted his Destiny Spirit Plant, the Great Chun Tree Seed, plugging the void in the Earth and preventing the essence from leaking out. This proved to be a move that killed two birds with one stone, as the Great Chun Tree took root deep into the planet, benefiting from the best Spiritual Energy nourishment.¡±


    ¡°Later, the Five Ancestors occupied Di Yuan Star and began to widely spread the Great Tao. Chang Chun Ancestor was in charge of sitting at the original location of the Furnace of Life, which was where the Great Chun Tree took root, and slowly adjusted the ley lines of the entire Di Yuan Star while also healing the desolate land. It was through this that the Great Chun Tree became Sixth Rank.¡±


    ¡°What followed were the oppositional actions of Divine Sect, which was from the Antiquity Daoist System against Immortal Gate. Eventually, though, Immortal Gate prevailed. Over three thousand years ago, when the last nine Elders of the Divine Sect were exterminated, this once foremost ancient Daoist lineage faded away like stars in the morning clouds.¡±

 Chapter 1389 - Chapter 1389 Chapter 747 Furnace of Life (7K)_2

    Chapter 1389: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_2 Chapter 1389: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_2 ¡°Lin Daoming, when he achieved Taoist pill formation, he stumbled upon some fragments of the Furnace of Life and extracted the Fetal Transformation Essence from them. Heartbroken by the death of my daughter, I agreed to his invitation to lead this Immortal Sprout cultivation project.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt an immense shock in his heart upon hearing this.


    Although he had long known that the mastermind behind the Immortal Sprout cultivation project was the Head of Immortal Affairs, Lin Daoming, the truth from Yan Xinji¡¯s own mouth was still somewhat unbelievable.


    That¡¯s the Sect Master!


    Since the founding of the Immortal Gate, he was counted among the few truly capable individuals.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t he just directly absorb and refine the Fetal Transformation Essence?¡±


    But Chen Mobai remained extremely cautious, still not entirely trusting what Yan Xinji had said, and continued to probe for the crux of the matter.


    ¡°The quality of the Fetal Transformation Essence is extremely high, it¡¯s akin to the Planet¡¯s Original Power, nearly of the Seventh Order, which even a God-Transcending cultivator would find challenging to refine, requiring extensive preparation and utmost caution.¡±


    ¡°Although Lin Daoming is the Head of Immortal Affairs, he is still only at the Nascent Soul realm, so he thought of a way, utilizing the profound mystery of the similarity between a mother¡¯s placenta and the Furnace of Life, to inject the Fetal Transformation Essence into a baby¡¯s body.¡±


    ¡°After this transformation, as long as the baby grows up and has successes in cultivation, he can take their essence, whether it be their Gold Core or Nascent Soul, to refine for himself. But even so, it was a very challenging task. After countless experiments of mine, only three Immortal Sprouts successfully integrated the Fetal Transformation Essence.¡±


    ¡°These three people are Qing Women, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing, and because of this, their relationship is so close, just like real siblings.¡±


    Listening to Yan Xinji¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly turned sharp, his gaze cold as he looked at him on the screen.


    ¡°Knowing this, why then did you experiment with Qing Women!¡±


    Yan Xinji, after hearing this, showed a look of guilt but still revealed the reason behind his actions.


    ¡°Because that was the only way to resurrect my daughter!¡±


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t believe it at all because the Immortal Gate education he had received since childhood had always included one point:


    ¡°Impossible, the dead cannot be brought back to life!¡±


    Yan Xinji offered no further explanation; his figure in the liquid crystal display suddenly began to blur, gradually transforming into a map and a handprint!


    ¡°I¡¯ve left a Big Transfer Talisman here; after using this handprint to verify, you can retrieve it. After finding Qing Women, have her activate this Big Transfer Talisman, and I will be waiting for her at the destination.¡±


    Chen Mobai memorized this, and looking at the gradually dimming, about to disappear Yan Xinji, he frowned slightly and asked.


    ¡°Why seek me out?¡±


    ¡°My true body can¡¯t enter Di Yuan Star, and being a traitor of the Immortal Gate, Kong Feichen and the others are also the targets of the Immortal Gate¡¯s attention. So after much thought, in the end, I could only turn to you ¨C a person who is innocent and will not harm Qing Women. Remember, you mustn¡¯t reveal to anyone that Qing Women possesses the Fetal Transformation Essence, a temptation not even the Huashen Ancestors can resist.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai fell silent.


    And at this moment, the liquid crystal screen went completely dark.


    Chen Mobai re-checked the experimental base to make sure he hadn¡¯t left any trace and then left the place.


    After retracting the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai shimmered with a silver light, quickly returning to the waiting hall before the train entered the station.


    Soon after, he entered his private compartment without inspection.


    He reviewed all the conversations he had had with Yan Xinji in the Heavenly Calculation Bead, then fell deep into thought.


    He had never imagined that behind the initial Immortal Sprout cultivation project there were such profound hidden agendas.


    Now the question is, besides Lin Daoming, did other people in the Immortal Gate who knew about this matter delve into the aspect of the Fetal Transformation Essence?


    Should he ask Lan Haitian?


    This was the person Chen Mobai thought might know.


    But after giving it some thought, he still felt it was too risky.


    Lan Haitian, who had decades of experience in officialdom, was a cunning fox among men; if he gave away even the slightest hint, it might backfire and lead him to re-investigate the Immortal Sprout cultivation project all over again.


    What should he do?


    Chen Mobai was lost in deep contemplation.


    Qing Women is his friend; he definitely hoped she could live a safe and peaceful life. Although aware of the Fetal Transformation Essence within her, he had no desire to covet it.


    But if what Yan Xinji said was true, then he would have to always guard against Lin Daoming, this retired Nascent Soul Superior, from now on.


    That¡¯s Nascent Soul!


    The thought of this realm made Chen Mobai involuntarily clench his fists.


    Even though he had fought a battle against Bing Yun Hermit in the Tianhe Realm with the aid of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Taoist Soldier, he didn¡¯t believe he had the ability to fight against a Nascent Soul.


    Especially against the The Three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, all of whom were of the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer¡¯s Peak!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even during the peaceful years with few battles on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, just the vast difference in realms alone was enough to crush dozens of Chen Mobais.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered Qing Women¡¯s rarity in leaving the Imperial City within the Sky-Mending Group.


    Initially, he thought it was because of the renegade Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, but now it seemed possible that Lin Daoming was interfering, not wanting to let her, the only remaining Immortal Sprout Tao Seed, out of his sight.


    There was also a time when Qing Women suddenly decided to begin her own Core Formation process.


    Chen Mobai felt that behind this, there might also be someone sent by Lin Daoming to manipulate the situation!

 Chapter 1390 - Chapter 1390 Chapter 747 Furnace of Life (7K)_3

    Chapter 1390: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_3 Chapter 1390: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_3 Facing Lin Daoming¡¯s covetousness for Qing Nu, he really couldn¡¯t think of any way to break the deadlock.


    Tell the higher-ups of the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    Master Chengxuan is in seclusion, Yuxiao Superior is not close to him, so the only one left is Ancestor Baiguang!


    But even with his status, it¡¯s still uncertain whether he could meet Baiguang, and according to what Yan Xinji said, if this Fetal Transformation Essence is truly so precious, might Ancestor Baiguang also be tempted by greed?


    The more Chen Mobai pondered, the tighter his brows furrowed!


    This must be the most difficult situation he has faced in his life!


    Not allow Qing Nu to proceed with Core Formation? But what reason could he have?


    Chen Mobai did the math, it seems that for their cohort of Daoist Academy graduates, there are only the last 16 years left to reach the 60-year tenure.


    By then, Lin Daoming would likely immediately arrange for Qing Nu to take a Liquid Gold Jade Pill, what reason would he have to prevent Qing Nu¡¯s Core Formation?


    Tell her the truth?


    Would she accept all of this?


    Even if she heeded his advice, would Lin Daoming stand by and watch all of this happen?


    It seems there¡¯s really only Yan Xinji¡¯s way, to have Qing Nu leave Di Yuan Star and go to her father¡¯s side.


    But by doing so, Qing Nu would become a defector of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai was acutely aware of how much loneliness and pain she endured to stay within the Immortal Gate. Sending her away now, even if for her own good, would likely break her heart.


    Similarly, if Qing Nu were to leave, Chen Mobai¨Cher only friend within the Immortal Gate¨Cwould be equally distressed.


    However, this is the only way to save her life.


    Throughout the journey, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was in unprecedented disarray.


    After arriving at Yu Wood City, he stayed in the waiting room for an entire night, deeply contemplating this issue.


    Finally, at the break of dawn, he opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.


    If it really doesn¡¯t work out, there¡¯s one last resort!


    At this moment, the phone rang.


    He glanced at it and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a gentle smile.


    It was a call from his daughter.


    After speaking with her for a while, it was time for Chen Mobai to board the flight.


    On the plane.


    As he got closer and closer to Wangwu Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai stripped away all the complex emotions inside his heart.


    At this moment, he had to become the successor that the entire Weapon Dancing Sect had been eagerly awaiting.


    Only by doing this could he find a way out for Qing Nu amid the chaotic situation.


    ¡°Long time no see, Junior Brother Chen!¡±


    At the airport, Wang Shuye personally came to pick him up. Beside him, there were five other people.


    Among them, three were representatives of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the Kaiyuan Hall, and the other two were department directors with real power in Xianwu Hall and the Hall of Orthodox Law, respectively.


    These five people, together with Wang Shuye, were the core circle among the masters of The Three Great Halls of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Their simultaneous arrival to pick him up showed the importance they placed on Chen Mobai.


    It was also a message to the other three sects proclaiming the future of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat overwhelmed by the honor.


    The group of seven people split into two cars and arrived at Wang Shuye¡¯s home in the Imperial City.


    And soon, this news spread to the other three sects¡¯ leaders.


    Lin Daoming, who still held the position of the Head of Immortal Affairs, had a slight flicker in his eyes, but for him, who was about to retire, even turning the world upside down in the power struggles of the four sects was now irrelevant to him.


    Righteous Law Hall Master Ying Guanghua called Lan Haitian over and asked him to extend an invitation to Chen Mobai once again.


    This time, Ying Guanghua planned to meet Chen Mobai, the future leader of the Weapon Dancing Sect, in person.


    The soon-to-be Superior Narcissus, who had a good impression of Chen Mobai, also intended to draw him into the Hall of Orthodox Law, and had Lan Haitian pass on a message as well.


    Among The Three Great Halls, only the Kaiyuan Hall remained calm and restrained about Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival.


    This was because Chen Mobai was already a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall.


    After Wang Shuye¡¯s retirement, him taking over was just a change of spokesperson, having no real impact on Kaiyuan Hall.


    If Chen Mobai accepted invitations from Xianwu Hall and the Hall of Orthodox Law, it might even be good for Kaiyuan Hall.


    Because by doing so, the next Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine quota would definitely not come from Kaiyuan Hall¡¯s share but would instead be obtained from the other two halls.


    After Chen Mobai arrived at Wangwu Cave Heaven, for the first time he felt the demands of social interaction.


    He couldn¡¯t even find time for an invitation from Meng Huang.


    On the first day, under the arrangements of Wang Shuye, he met the core members of the Dance Tool Dao Academy within Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Following that was meeting other public officials aligned with the Weapon Dancing Sect, under the introduction of these core members.


    For instance, a deputy director from the Weapon Lineage of Bai Er Shi Fu, who graduated from Qing Sang Academy, even though just a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, was someone Chen Mobai had to remember everyone¡¯s identity, to promptly address them by name during encounters, to avoid making anyone feel neglected.


    Being in Wangwu Cave Heaven, they couldn¡¯t organize large-scale banquets, so they could only meet privately in small groups, gathering modestly at a Golden Core Master¡¯s house.


    Thus, Chen Mobai spent nearly half a month to meet with all the people associated with the Weapon Lineage in Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    After finishing all this, he had to go and fulfill his appointments.

 Chapter 1391 - Chapter 1391 Chapter 747 Furnace of Life (7K)_4

    Chapter 1391: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_4 Chapter 1391: Chapter 747: Furnace of Life (7K)_4 First and foremost is the Righteous Law Hall Master, Ying Guanghua, followed by the Vice Righteous Law Hall Master, Narcissus.


    Both are Nascent Soul Superiors!


    Moreover, both are future successors among the Three Hall Masters; whether it is one or the other, Chen Mobai cannot afford to offend them.


    However, Chen Mobai also clearly understands that these two Nascent Soul Superiors have invited him not only because of his talent but also because he represents the Weapon Dancing Sect.


    Representing one Huashen Ancestor, and two Nascent Soul Superiors!


    Previously, the spokesperson was Wang Shuye, and now it will be him.


    Chen Mobai first went to attend the meeting arranged by Ying Guanghua.


    Naturally, when he went, Wang Shuye accompanied him.


    The meeting place was arranged by Lan Haitian, a very private club.


    This was also the first time Chen Mobai met the Three Hall Masters of this Immortal Gate in person; Ying Guanghua looked exactly like he did on television, a young man brimming with vitality, his nose high and features distinct, his visage like the warm sun in early spring, warm and bright.


    He was dressed in a brown business suit with a light white shirt under it, and a deep blue tie, his clean and tidy appearance also revealed a sense of leisureliness.


    When Chen Mobai locked eyes with him, the corners of Ying Guanghua¡¯s mouth lifted slightly, with a friendly smile that made people feel close.


    The current Three Hall Masters of Xianmen are all well-regarded leaders.


    During Lin Daoming¡¯s governance, Ying Guanghua was in charge of the Military Department, upholding the various laws and order of Xianmen, acting both as the strongest shield and as the sharpest lance, he was a charismatic leader who could also inspire reverence among the people.


    But it is said that he is also a leader who is willing to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates, very approachable.


    ¡°Met Your Excellency Palace Master Ying!¡±


    Upon entering, Chen Mobai gave Ying Guanghua a proper greeting.


    ¡°Hahaha, excellent, excellent, truly worthy of being a Divine Qualification of our Xianmen, indeed it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.¡±


    Ying Guanghua stood up to greet him, shaking Chen Mobai¡¯s hand as he returned the gesture.


    After speaking, he also greeted Wang Shuye to Chen Mobai¡¯s right with a smile that was as refreshing as a breeze in spring.


    At this moment, Lan Haitian, who had led them in, closed the door of the room, and soon there were only the four of them left.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart stirred slightly upon seeing this scenario.


    He was quite surprised that Lan Haitian, hailing from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy, could be trusted to such an extent by Ying Guanghua.


    ¡°Do we have any news from Master Chengxuan?¡±


    When only the four of them remained, Ying Guanghua¡¯s attitude became even more casual, seemingly treating Chen Mobai and the others as friends, and immediately inquiring about Master Chengxuan.


    ¡°Please forgive me, Your Excellency Palace Master Ying, ever since the headmaster and Daoist Yu Yi entered the Yuping Small Realm, there has been no news.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the truth, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered Master Chengxuan¡¯s opportunity to test the Blooming Moment, which seemed to have been seized after a contest with Lin Daoming.


    He wondered how Master Chengxuan managed to win against Lin Daoming, the Head of Immortal Affairs?


    ¡°Among us, Master Chengxuan is only younger than Senior Lin Daoming; I hope he can achieve success in one attempt, as that would pave a path for us towards Divinity Transformation,¡± Ying Guanghua said these words with sincere emotion, which Chen Mobai could feel from his speech.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hope so.¡±


    However, regarding Blooming Moment, Chen Mobai had no right to comment, and even if he was aware of the experiment¡¯s progress, he would certainly not reveal anything to Ying Guanghua and could only force a smile to end the conversation.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, after graduating from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, you, Councilor Chen, also studied at our Repairing Heaven Institute, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, during my time at the Jumang Academy, after crossing swords with seniors Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi, I deeply yearned for the profound mysteries of the Guidance Book. Consequently, upon graduation, at the invitation of Director Fu Borong, I enrolled for study at the Repairing Heaven Institute, where I was fortunate to receive guidance from Elder Yuanxu.¡±


    Chen Mobai had chosen to study at the Repairing Heaven Institute not only to learn the Guidance Book but also because of the allure of the Repairing Heaven lineage¡¯s esteemed status.


    Even now, the Heaven-Repairing Lineage remains the most prominent force within the Immortal Gate.


    One Divinity Transformation, five Nascent Souls!


    Even against the backdrop of thousands of years of Immortal Gate history, it can still be considered the golden age of the Repairing Heaven lineage.


    ¡°Oh, I haven¡¯t heard Elder Yuanxu mention this before, but his Guidance Book is directly inherited from Leading Star Ancestor, and even I feel insufficient in comparison.¡±


    Ying Guanghua, while speaking, personally opened a bottle of wine and poured for Chen Mobai, Wang Shuye, and Lan Haitian who was silently listening on the side.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Yuanxu¡¯s Guidance Book is probably the most envied ability amongst all the researchers at the Immortal Gate. I am not as talented; I only developed abilities useful for cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the wine glass handed to him by Ying Guanghua and casually said something that made the latter¡¯s expression change with subtle shock.


    ¡°Has Councilor Chen¡¯s Guidance Book also reached the threshold of being hall-marked?¡±


    The Guidance Book is famously profound and deep, challenging to begin, harder to progress, and exponentially more difficult to master to the highest extent.


    Even for a cultivator like Ying Guanghua, at the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, he had only just mastered it to a significant degree, which is why he was internally awed by the terrifying talent of Chen Mobai, who had apparently developed a unique ability as well.


    ¡°Hm, when I was studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute, I didn¡¯t quite grasp the essence of the Guidance Book. Being slightly talented in Magic Duels, I had the desire to apply it there, but I did not realize I had taken a detour.¡±


    ¡°After the encounter at the Top of Danxia Mountain, in a battle with the reincarnated Shi Qing, Master of the Flower Bloom Courtyard, though my Guidance Book achievements and my natural talent for dueling were combined, amplifying the power of the Purple Electric Sword to its limit and defeating Shi Qing, I realized that I had strayed onto the wrong path.¡±


    ¡°No matter how formidable in Magic Duels, only the cultivation realm represents eternal pursuit. If I were to indulge in powerful combat abilities without breaking through to higher Nascent Soul levels or even Divinity Transformation, after hundreds of years, I would merely be bones in the grave. Thus, following that, alongside my cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, I began to reassess my understanding of the Guidance Book.¡±


    ¡°After meditating for twenty years beneath Danxia Mountain, on a day when the sun rose in the east, I finally reached a state of enlightenment. Not only did I advance to the second level of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, but I also completely comprehended the Guidance Book and cultivated ¡®Inner Observation,¡¯ unique to myself!¡±


    Chen Mobai finished speaking, and Lan Haitian on the side was already wide-eyed, extremely shocked by what he heard.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, it was not just Lan Haitian who was surprised; Ying Guanghua was also very astonished.


    ¡°Junior brother, I did not expect you to have broken through to the second level of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram. Truly, you are perfectly suited for the Qualification of Deification with the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    On the side, Wang Shuye was also full of admiration.


    He knew that Chen Mobai had mastered the Guidance Book much earlier because, on the first day they met, Chen Mobai had demonstrated the Underworld Array version of Void Walking in front of the core circle of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, causing everyone to be deeply impressed.


    Chen Mobai had offered the reason for mastering Void Walking as having achieved a significant level of mastery in the Guidance Book!

 Chapter 1392 - Chapter 1392 Chapter 748 Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)

    Chapter 1392: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K) Chapter 1392: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K) ¡°Chen Mobai was born with exceptional talents, and now that he¡¯s mastered the Square Inch Book, his future achievements are boundless!¡±


    Ying Guanghua couldn¡¯t help but express his admiration after learning about the ¡®Inner Observation¡¯ ability of Chen Mobai¡¯s Square Inch Book.


    In his youth, he too was a peerless genius dominating an era within the Immortal Gate, thinking that there could be no one better than himself. Yet, he actually encountered one in his lifetime.


    Chen Mobai already had an almost perfect affinity with the Pure Yang Scroll, and as long as he accumulated enough years of service at the Immortal Gate, supported by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, obtaining the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine would not be a problem.


    In Ying Guanghua¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai forming his Nascent Soul wasn¡¯t a big issue, but transcending to the Spirit Transformation Stage seemed quite difficult.


    After all, although he was known for having the Qualification of Deification, only those cultivators who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer truly understood how difficult the barrier of Divine Transformation was.


    It was an insurmountable chasm!


    Throughout the history of the Immortal Gate, all Nascent Soul Superiors were among the top of countless beings, with unparalleled talent and extraordinary aptitude.


    However, only a handful managed to Ascend to become Immortals.


    Now knowing the function of ¡®Inner Observation¡¯ within Chen Mobai¡¯s Square Inch Book, Ying Guanghua felt that this young man, at least in terms of the possibility of God Transformation, had already surpassed himself.


    With ¡®Inner Observation¡¯, Chen Mobai could analyze and interpret all the Divine Transformation Techniques of Xian Men, integrating and comprehending to find the path most suitable for him.


    ¡°No, no, cultivation has no end; I have merely formed a Gold Core now, and who knows when I will be able to form the Nascent Soul.¡±


    Chen Mobai had always been modest and cautious when dealing with others.


    ¡°If Chen Yong is free, he might consider visiting the Heavenly Book Academy to look at the seven volumes of Tian Shu.¡±


    Ying Guanghua jokingly suggested to Chen Mobai, who immediately shook his head, indicating that his ¡®Inner Observation¡¯ could only rely on his own knowledge to analyze and decode.


    The seven volumes of Tian Shu, the supreme Daoist scriptures, even the Huashen Ancestor of Xianmen couldn¡¯t completely decode, how could he possibly do so.


    After hearing this, Ying Guanghua felt a slight regret in his heart.


    He had hoped to use the seven volumes of Tian Shu to delay Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation progress, not expecting the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy to be so clear-headed.


    If it were him when he was young, having the qualifications for Deification and the ¡®Inner Observation¡¯ from the Square Inch Book, he would definitely forsake all worldly distractions, dive into the thousands of Daoist Scriptures, and pursue the ultimate Great Tao.


    However, knowing the limits of ¡®Inner Observation,¡¯ Ying Guanghua felt somewhat relieved.


    If it depended entirely on Chen Mobai¡¯s own knowledge, then his chance of Divine Transformation wasn¡¯t much greater than his own.


    After all, within Xian Men, knowledge about Divine Transformation was also scarce.


    Except for the famous Huashen Ancestor in the history of Xian Men, it was simply these Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection who explored insights on the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    At least, Ying Guanghua knew that the Nascent Soul Realm could definitely not stop Chen Mobai.


    Fortunately, the Infant-Feeding Elixirs had already been distributed, and Wang Shuye would not likely give his own to Chen Mobai.


    Then, by the time the next Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine was ready, it would be at least a hundred years later.


    Could he only suppress him for a hundred years?


    Looking at Chen Mobai, who talked confidently and composedly, Ying Guanghua secretly sighed.


    With Lin Daoming¡¯s retirement, he could at most hold the position of Head of Immortal Affairs for three sixty-year cycles.


    After all, Ying Guanghua was not young anymore.


    He glanced at Lan Haitian, then thought of the Golden Core Masters of the Repairing Heaven Institute, who were also stunning, but it seems that after a hundred years, they could only watch this handsome young man shine.


    Because among the next generation of Golden Core Masters in Xian Men, only Wen Ren Xuewei from Jumang Academy could match the man before him.


    However, Lan Haitian was not without hope; if he could form his Nascent Soul with the Liu Yu Scripture, he could be as renowned as Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei.


    These three could potentially be the future Three Hall Masters!


    It¡¯s a pity that the Heaven-Repairing Lineage seemed to have exhausted its fate in this millennium, with not a single one possessing the Qualification of Deification.


    He could only hope that he could reach Divine Transformation in a hundred years!


    Thinking this, Ying Guanghua discussed with Chen Mobai about the upcoming changes in Xian Men¡¯s policies after he took power.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai was somewhat naive, having spent the last several decades managing the Five Elements Sect in Tianhe Realm, with only a superficial knowledge of the policy changes in Xian Men.


    Fortunately, Wang Shuye was right by his side, and he immediately took over the conversation.


    Chen Mobai listened attentively.


    This meeting ended with both guests content.


    When leaving, Lan Haitian personally drove them back.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He dropped off Wang Shuye at his home first, and Chen Mobai stayed at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel located in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    This was the highest standard hotel within Xian Men and required a certain status to make a reservation.


    By Chen Mobai¡¯s character, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen such a conspicuous arrangement; this was arranged by Wang Shuye because the Weapon Lineage maintained two permanent rooms in the Welcoming Immortals Hotel.


    These belonged to Master Chengxuan and Yuxiao Superior, both Nascent Soul Cultivators, who stayed here whenever they came to the Imperial City.


    As Master Chengxuan was in closed-door trials experimenting with the Blooming Moment, he definitely wouldn¡¯t attend this Xianmen session, so Wang Shuye gave his room to Chen Mobai directly.

 Chapter 1393 - Chapter 1393 Chapter 748 Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_2

    Chapter 1393: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_2 Chapter 1393: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_2 Chen Mobai originally wanted to refuse, but Wang Shuye insisted that this protocol must be followed.


    If he did not move in, he would likely be looked down upon by other powers within Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai understood Wang Shuye¡¯s arrangement and did not decline further.


    On the day he moved in, it was also announced to the entire Immortal Gate that he had become the principal agent of the Weapon Dancing Sect within The Three Great Halls!


    It turned out that Lan Haitian¡¯s vehicle pass could directly enter and leave the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, and he took Chen Mobai to the Welcoming Immortals Hotel.


    ¡°Tomorrow I will meet with Venerable Narcissus, the day after I will pay a visit to Ancestor Baiguang at Wangxian Peak, and then I¡¯ll be free the following day. I wonder if Vice Group Leader Lan can arrange a holiday for Qing Nu. It¡¯s been a long time since I saw her.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t get out of the car right away, saying this to Lan Haitian, who replied without any hesitation.


    ¡°Starting tomorrow, I will give Qing Nu a mission to monitor your health status as a council member. Whenever you have time, you can call her to leave the Sky-Mending Group and meet you.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect Lan Haitian to give him so much face, and for a moment, he hadn¡¯t adapted to his new identity and status within the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai got out of the car.


    Watching Lan Haitian leave, he frowned slightly.


    Judging by how easily Lan Haitian allowed Qing Nu to meet with him, he must not be aware of the true purpose of the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan.


    After all, Qing Nu was under his command. If Lin Daoming was controlling Qing Nu through Lan Haitian, then the latter would definitely not agree so readily.


    At the very least, he would have to report to Lin Daoming.


    Apart from Lan Haitian, the Sky-Mending Group also has another Group Leader, Wen Lianshan, who hails from the Repairing Heaven Institute and might be the person Lin Daoming arranged to oversee Qing Nu.


    However, when Qing Nu first joined the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai had asked her and learned it was through Lan Haitian¡¯s connections, so this did not quite match up.


    With doubts about Lan Haitian reduced, Chen Mobai began to think about what to tell Qing Nu about the truth revealed by Yan Xinji during their upcoming meeting.


    Early the next day, it was again Lan Haitian who personally arrived to escort him and Wang Shuye to meet Venerable Narcissus.


    This meeting took place on an island in a lake within Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Not far from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Lan Haitian dropped them off at the shore of the lake, where a familiar figure was already waiting for them, riding the waves.


    It was Gongsun Jielu, who had once joined forces with Chen Mobai to slay Master Huakai in Red Sandstone City. She seemed to have greatly advanced her cultivation after comprehending the Immortal Sect Sword Art. When Chen Mobai locked eyes with her, he felt his own Severing Heavens Longevity Sword Intent being stirred, causing him a bit of surprise.


    ¡°Eh!?¡±


    But it was Gongsun Jielu who was more astonished.


    She had comprehended the Immortal Sect Sword Art and condensed her lifelong bitter cultivation of swordsmanship into a Sword Intent. After a ten-year retreat, she nurtured and unleashed that intent to achieve a vast momentum. She thought that within the entire Immortal Gate, based on Sword Dao Realm, aside from Nangong Xuanyu, there was no other match amongst the Golden Core Masters.


    Yet to her surprise, she felt a Sword Intent in Chen Mobai that seemed even more profound and terrifying than her own.


    In that instant of eye contact, Gongsun Jielu¡¯s Sword Intent could not help but stir.


    After taking a deep breath, she managed to suppress her own Sword Intent.


    Looking up again, she saw only a trace of surprise on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, but his Sword Intent was not out of control at all. This left her even more stunned.


    [This youngster¡¯s Sword Intent must have reached a level of perfection and might even have forged an unsurpassed Sword Heart!]


    In reality, Chen Mobai had not comprehended the Severing Heavens Longevity Sword Intent, and he was still wondering why his Sword Intent had fluctuated.


    ¡°Please, the Vice Hall Master is already waiting for you.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu, suppressing her shock at Chen Mobai¡¯s swordsmanship talent, invited Chen Mobai and Wang Shuye onto a flat boat formed from water ripples.


    After entrusting the guests to her, Lan Haitian took his leave.


    The island in the center of the lake was Venerable Narcissus¡¯s cultivation ground. She drew Fifth-Order Spiritual Energy from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, and so as soon as Chen Mobai stepped onto the island, he was stunned by the rich spiritual energy there.


    Venerable Narcissus, with her white hair and brows, and jade-like skin, sat on a rock at the edge of the island, her snow-white feet dipped into the lake, rippling gently.


    ¡°The land above is just too dry. If the Spiritual Venerable hadn¡¯t said there¡¯s an opportunity for my Divinity Transformation on land, I couldn¡¯t stand to stay even for a day.¡±

    Hearing Venerable Narcissus¡¯ words, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    The Sea Territory¡¯s Spiritual Venerable, one of the oldest living beings in the Immortal Gate, could even be considered the most powerful being on Di Yuan Star!


    ¡°After I take charge of the Hall of Orthodox Law, Gongsun will be the Vice Hall Master, Wen Lianshan will become the Enforcement Department Director, and Lan Haitian was supposed to step up half a rank to become the Sky-Mending Group Leader, but Ying Guanghua has taken that position.¡±


    ¡°Gongye Zhixu got the Infant-Feeding Elixir for the second time, feeling it¡¯s his last chance for Nascent Soul Formation and has decided to resign his position as the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall to concentrate fully on this last attempt.¡±


    ¡°Lan Haitian has a chance to become the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, and does not wish to waste his time in the Sky-Mending Group. If you are willing to join the Hall of Orthodox Law, you can be the Sky-Mending Group Leader; you can also take on a nominal Vice Director position at the Department of Law Enforcement, and I can give you a ceremonial Major General title in the Military Department.¡±

 Chapter 1394 - Chapter 1394 Chapter 748 Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_3

    Chapter 1394: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_3 Chapter 1394: Chapter 748: Seeing Chen Chun Again (7K)_3 Narcissus, the senior cultivator, was very straightforward and direct, which was quite the contrast to the all-night discussion that Wang Shuye and Ying Guanghua had yesterday that reached no consensus. Her words invigorated Chen Mobai.


    The position offered to Chen Mobai was already the fourth highest role in the Righteous Law Hall.


    From being an ordinary councilor at the Kaiyuan Hall to being parachuted directly into such a critical position, even with the support of the Weapon Dancing Sect behind him, it was a rarity in the entire history of the Immortal Gate.


    However, despite being very tempted, he still did not make any immediate commitment.


    Wang Shuye had told him that he was qualified to choose, to wait and see all the terms before making a decision.


    His meeting with Narcissus ended very quickly.


    Because she laid out all her conditions from the start, after having tea with Wang Shuye, Chen Mobai took his leave.


    ¡°Have they left?¡±


    After Gongsun Jielu returned, Narcissus lazily asked.


    ¡°Yes, Hall Master, there¡¯s something¡­¡±


    Gongsun Jielu hesitated a bit before speaking about Chen Mobai mastering Sword Intent.


    ¡°This boy, he couldn¡¯t possibly achieve Divinity Transformation faster than me!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Narcissus¡¯ lazy demeanor immediately disappeared, and she frowned as she looked towards the direction of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    There was another God-Transcending cultivator there with exceptional swordsmanship talent and a Primordial Spirit Accompanying Sword, and they were from the same lineage!


    ¡°He would probably think about comprehending the Immortal Sect Sword Art. With this invitation, he would definitely be willing to join the Righteous Law Hall.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu spoke, knowing that for Sword Cultivators, the Immortal Sect Sword Art was the supreme authority.


    After all, Ancestor Baiguang was able to become a God-Transcending cultivator because he had comprehended the Immortal Sect Sword Art!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s swordsmanship talent was not inferior to Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s, and having mastered Sword Intent at such a young age, he would definitely think of following in Baiguang¡¯s successful path to Divinity Transformation.


    ¡°The Immortal Sect Sword Art is available in all the Three Great Halls, but indeed Ancestor Baiguang first comprehended it in our Righteous Law Hall¡­¡±


    Listening to this, Narcissus pondered slightly, but after a long while, she still shook her head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just let nature take its course. With his background, if he wants to comprehend the Immortal Sect Sword Art, there will always be a way. My conditions will not change.¡±


    The Immortal Sect Sword Art consists of eight styles!


    It is a supreme sword graph only comprehendible by Nascent Soul Cultivators. Gongsun Jielu, being in the Golden Core Realm to comprehend one of the graphs, was already an exception.


    Narcissus was reluctant to make another exception for Chen Mobai, who was not a direct descendant and only a Golden Core Master.


    Due to the early end of the meeting with Narcissus, Chen Mobai went to visit his old classmate Zhongli Tianyu at Meeting Immortals Peak in the afternoon, whom he had not seen for a long time.


    ¡°Wait for me for another 16 years. Once I get the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, I¡¯ll catch up to you immediately.¡±


    Although Zhongli Tianyu acknowledged Chen Mobai¡¯s status, he still would not admit defeat verbally.


    ¡°Haha, by the time you form your core, I might have already gone through Nascent Soul Formation!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were scoffed at by Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible, all of the Infant-Feeding Elixirs from the Immortal Gate have already been distributed this time. I plan to catch up with you when you¡¯re stuck at the major Realm of Nascent Soul Formation. After I form my core, I will also join one of the Three Great Halls, and by then, after enduring a hundred years, I should be able to get the next batch of Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine alongside you.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s plan was very optimistic, conceding that he could not surpass Chen Mobai in Enlightenment Core Formation.


    But he didn¡¯t believe Chen Mobai could form a Nascent Soul without consuming Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.


    ¡°Don¡¯t the Zhong Li Clan have their own base of Elixirs? Why don¡¯t you consume those?¡±


    Chen Mobai just smiled at Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s dreams and inquired about this topic.


    ¡°Since it can be obtained from the Immortal Gate, it¡¯s better to save what the ancestors left. Who knows, if our clan falls one day, maybe it can be a means for a resurgence.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu spoke frankly, being from the Deification Clan that actually only had three Golden Core Masters.


    At its lowest point, there was even only one.


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a face full of regret.


    The Infant Transforming Elixir of the Zhong Li Clan was the only openly known one within the Immortal Gate.


    Because the Three Great Halls typically distribute the freshly refined Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine completely upon each batch.


    If Zhongli Tianyu had a chance for Nascent Soul Formation, this elixir would surely be his.


    Then, coupled with another type of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine from Immortal Gate and with his talent, he might potentially lead the Zhong Li Clan to its peak again.


    Chen Mobai was quite envious of this; if he could procure Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine from the Immortal Gate, he would not have to trouble himself going to the Tianhe Realm.


    While the two were talking, Zhongli Yue called them to eat.


    As a Golden Core Master, Zhongli Yue was also a councilor at the Kaiyuan Hall and held a nominal position in the Military Department of the Righteous Law Hall.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    During the meal, Chen Mobai asked about the situation at the Righteous Law Hall, and Zhongli Yue, clearly aware that he was about to replace Wang Shuye and become the spokesperson for the Weapon Dancing Sect within the Three Great Halls, very attentively explained everything she knew about the military affairs and the various factions and influences.


    The Military Department is not very complicated.


    After all, it is directly under the control of the Righteous Law Hall Master, divided into Ten Great Military Regions, each located on one of the ten directions on the Di Yuan Star, guarding the key spiritual pivot of the Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network!


    The Clan Leader of the Zhongli Family just happened to be a commander in one of these military regions.


    And besides the military forces managed by the Four Great Daoist Sects, there are also three forces controlled by other God-Transcending families.

 Chapter 1395 - Chapter 1395 748

    Chapter 1395: 748 Chapter 1395: 748 After finishing a meal, Chen Mobai had a good understanding of the situation at the Military Department.


    And outside the Military Department, there was the Department of Law Enforcement.


    This was relatively simple; primarily, everything was managed by the head of the department, although if the deputy head was strong enough, there were cases where there have been two factions.


    As for the Sky-Mending Group, theoretically, it was a department within the Department of Law Enforcement.


    But with a higher rank and authority, the leader of the Sky-Mending Group also served as the deputy head of law enforcement and directly reported to the Righteous Law Hall Master.


    After this meal, Chen Mobai gained a lot, expressing his thanks to Zhongli Yue, who responded with a gentle smile.


    ¡°In the future, you will need to support Tianyu, you two from the Weapon Dancing Sect might, after hundreds of years, manage two halls just like the current heads of Immortal Affairs and Orthodox Law!¡±


    Upon hearing Zhongli Yue¡¯s words, Zhongli Tianyu couldn¡¯t help but lifted himself, a bit hastily, proclaiming that his talent was unmatched and he would surely achieve Nascent Soul Formation, without needing Chen Mobai¡¯s help.


    Zhongli Tianyu: ¡°One day, I will catch up to him!¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Hahaha, I hope that day comes.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai did not want to argue further over these trivial matters with Zhongli Tianyu, as he was already an adult, and verbal disputations were a waste of time for him.


    ¡°Finished eating? Then I¡¯ll see you down the mountain.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, thinking that Chen Mobai had agreed with him since he didn¡¯t retort, also put down his chopsticks.


    Here in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, it was all Deification Clan territory, and one never knew where there might be restrictions. In past visits, it was always him who drove Chen Mobai up and down the mountain.


    ¡°No need, I left a coordinate in the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, I can go back directly.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a laugh.


    Previously, without a coordinate at the Zhongli¡¯s, he had needed Zhongli Tianyu to escort him up.


    ¡°Go back directly?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu and Zhongli Yue were baffled, not understanding how he planned to ¡°go directly.¡±


    Then, they watched as Chen Mobai¡¯s body shimmered with silver light, and with a step, he seemed to vanish on the spot like a beam of light.


    Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu and Zhongli Yue¡¯s eyes widened, completely shocked!


    ¡°Void Walking!¡±


    Being part of the Deification Clan, they recognized at once that this was a characteristic Void Magic of Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    Even though they had already regarded Chen Mobai as a potential future Three Hall Masters¡¯ level figure, the fact that he had mastered Void Walking in the Golden Core Realm still left them utterly astonished.


    ¡°This guy¡­¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu muttered to himself, the courage he had just mustered in front of Chen Mobai dissipating completely at this moment!


    How could he even hope to catch up?


    Forget it, forget it¡­


    Seeing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s dejected demeanor, Zhongli Yue wanted to say something comforting, but didn¡¯t know how to begin.


    Even the patriarch Zhongli in his youth hadn¡¯t been this heaven-defying!


    After leaving Meeting Immortals Peak and with time still on his side, Chen Mobai thought of the things his daughter had mentioned and took out his phone to call Yu Huiping.


    ¡°Wait for me at the foot of the mountain!¡±


    Yu Huiping, knowing that he was just at the base of Gathering Immortals Peak, nodded and indicated that he was coming down.


    Because the mountain was a place where the Huashen Ancestor was in secluded cultivation, Chen Mobai did not dare to test with the Underworld Array without permission.


    Shortly after, an old woman flew down.


    ¡°This is Xiao Hei¡¯s stuff; I¡¯ve already packed everything.¡±


    Yu Huiping waved her hand, and a void opened up, letting three huge luggage cases fall down, which Chen Mobai immediately caught with his hands, the invisible Ling Power surging as he caught the suitcases.


    Then he expanded his own Domain and stuffed the three suitcases into it one by one.


    ¡°True Person Yu, thank you for your hard work!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words prompted Yu Huiping to nod gently, and then the old lady turned around, about to leave.


    ¡°True Person Yu, in one month, it will be the Immortal Gate¡¯s leadership transition conference. I will enter The Three Great Halls as the person in charge of the Weapon Dancing Sect. Does Ancestor Baiguang have any guidance on this?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought it a rare opportunity, using the Immortal Gate¡¯s change of leadership as a reason to see if he could possibly visit the strongest supporter of their Weapon Dancing Sect.


    ¡°Master¡¯s guidance?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yu Huiping looked at Chen Mobai somewhat peculiarly; if it had been someone else from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she would have definitely shaken her head.


    ¡°Master is in seclusion. If you leave now and I encounter her after she exits seclusion, I will relay this matter to her.¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing Yu Huiping¡¯s words, could only sigh regretfully and then performed an ancient farewell ritual of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Among the Double Saints of the Immortal Gate, Ancestor Baiguang lives in seclusion, and even Master Chengxuan, the president of the academy, hasn¡¯t seen her for quite some time.


    In contrast, the Leading Star Ancestor of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage tends to be somewhat more active.


    At least the Nascent Soul Superiors of the Sky-Mending Group usually manage to see him when he is available.


    [Can I possibly be granted an audience with Ancestor Baiguang after achieving Nascent Soul Formation?]


    Chen Mobai thought this as he saw Yu Huiping up the mountain, then turning around after a look at the mist-enshrouded Wangxian Peak, he too departed.


    Because he was at the foot of a mountain where Divinity Transformation cultivators reside, he did not use the Underworld Array to leave directly this time.


    Instead, he planned to walk a bit further before using Teleportation.


    However, he had not expected that this thought would lead him to meet an unexpected person.


    Seeing Chen Chun frowning, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows furrowed!


    After all, her previous actions had annoyed him.


    ¡°Something the matter?¡±


    The paths here in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains are singular, and he was now at the boundary between two Divinity Transformation Ancestors.


    He was on Baiguang¡¯s side, while Chen Chun had just come down from Leading Star Ancestor¡¯s side.


    Chen Mobai felt that given Chen Chun¡¯s mastery of the prophecy techniques of The Divine Machine Mansion, she must have calculated to wait here for him.


    ¡°It was just a sudden whim to come down the mountain for some fresh air, but I never expected to actually meet you.¡±


    Yet Chen Chun seemed somewhat surprised as well.


    After listening, Chen Mobai did not say anything more and simply turned away to leave.


    Chen Chun watched his retreating figure, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent, watching as he left.


    After returning to the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, Chen Mobai rested for the night.


    Soon, the next day was the time agreed upon with Lan Haitian.


    At eight in the morning, Qing Nu called on time.


    ¡°Hello, Councilman Chen, Vice Head Lan asked me to check your health status¡­¡±


    Her words, filled with gentle joy, made Chen Mobai involuntarily recall the last time he met Qing Nu.


    ¡°I¡¯m at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai gave his room number, Qing Nu stifled her joy with a hum, indicating she would be there soon.


    About half an hour later, Chen Mobai received a call from the front desk.


    After confirming with him, Qing Nu was allowed to enter the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    Shortly after, the sound of knocking arose, and Qing Nu appeared before him.

 Chapter 1396 - Chapter 1396 Chapter 749 Deep Listening

    Chapter 1396: Chapter 749 Deep Listening Chapter 1396: Chapter 749 Deep Listening Qing Nu¡¯s lips curved into a faint smile of joy, seemingly happy at the sight of an old friend.


    Today, she wore a black dress whose cut perfectly complemented her impeccable figure, showcasing it in full splendor. The similarly black but slightly sheer stockings clung tightly to her slender and symmetrical legs, adding a hint of sensuality to her tranquility.


    Under the warm glow of the corridor lights, she stood by the doorway like a delicate painting, captivating from every angle.


    Her nose was straight, her chin elegant, and her tender lips, unusually adorned with lipstick, were like red roses. Her long, jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, smooth and lustrous like silk.


    Chen Mobai locked eyes with her bright and tender gaze, and in that moment, it was as if a warm light enveloped them both, easing the tension from their spirits, bringing unprecedented comfort and relaxation amidst the bustle of Wangwu Cave Heaven in the Imperial City.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s gentle voice sounded, and Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile and nod, inviting her in.


    The two, being good friends, called each other from time to time, but actual meetings were quite rare.


    After all, with Qing Nu in the special Sky-Mending Group and under the supervision of Lin Daoming, she was nearly unable to leave Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    And as for Chen Mobai, a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, it went without saying.


    They only met in Wangwu Cave Heaven when reporting for duty every ten years, and at those times, Qing Nu was glad that Sky-Mending Group¡¯s headquarters were located there.


    Without these decennial expectations, she didn¡¯t know how she would have coped in Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Qing Nu stepped into the room, and Chen Mobai casually closed the door.


    ¡°Have a seat. I¡¯ll brew you a pot of delightful tea.¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured towards the sofa by the window, then personally condensed water and brought it to a boil, pouring it into the teapot already filled with Green Charm Spiritual Tea.


    Apart from being an Alchemist, Qing Nu also frequently assessed various elixirs and medicines for toxicity. Despite practicing a unique secret technique for detoxification, over the years, she had accumulated some indelible Dan Poison in her body.


    She was well aware of this, and she wasn¡¯t alone in her situation. It was unavoidable for anyone working with the Sky-Mending Group.


    However, she had never mentioned this to Chen Mobai.


    It was Zhongli Tianyu who informed Chen Mobai, as Zhongli Yi, the Vice-Leader of the Sky-Mending Group, was his cousin. She attributed her failure in Core Formation after taking the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to this very cause.


    This was no small blow to the Zhongli Family either.


    Even for a Deification Clan, investing nearly a century¡¯s worth of resources into one family member¡¯s cultivation, only for them to fail at Core Formation, was essentially a total loss.


    Chen Mobai had also heard Qing Nu talk about Zhongli Yi in the past, knowing she had taken good care of Qing Nu when she first joined the Group.


    Therefore, upon hearing about this from Zhongli Tianyu, he realized that Qing Nu must have the same issue.


    And that was exactly why he had specially prepared this pot of Green Charm Spiritual Tea that could neutralize Dan Poison for her today.


    As the Spiritual Tea unfurled in the boiling water, its fragrance like budding green leaves filled the air, Chen Mobai took the teapot and approached the window.


    Sitting on the sofa, Qing Nu supported her snow-white chin with one hand, her legs gracefully crossed, watching Chen Mobai¡¯s every move with tender, serene eyes.


    ¡°Try this. It¡¯s a new variety of tea that sprung up from the tea garden I set up to cultivate Enlightenment Tea. After drinking it for a while, I found it can resolve Dan Poison.¡±


    Chen Mobai had once asked Wen Ren Xuewei for all the tea varieties she collected for cultivating Enlightenment Tea, and then he encircled a mountain peak in the Danxia Mountain Range, planting those tea trees.


    Although his Spirit Plant cultivation skills were not as proficient as Zhuo Ming¡¯s, with the power of Longevity Sect¡¯s Grand Spells, he had no trouble keeping these tea varieties alive.


    This tea garden, however, was primarily for purifying the Spiritual Teas from Tianhe Realm.


    Hearing this, Qing Nu was indeed quite astonished.


    She took the cup and, after observing the pale green liquid, took a gentle sip. A sweet aftertaste spread through her lips and teeth, making her spirits jolt and also causing her to sense faint traces of Dan Poison, previously difficult to detect, start to slowly emerge.


    Qing Nu quickly finished the entire cup of Green Charm Spiritual Tea, and Chen Mobai poured her another without hesitation, which she also drank down without reserve.


    After five consecutive cups, Chen Mobai¡¯s brewed pot was empty.


    And as he began to boil water again, Qing Nu had already closed her eyes, guiding the essence of Green Charm Spiritual Tea to circulate and cleanse throughout her meridians and organs, integrating the surfacing Dan Poison in the process.


    As her body felt progressively lighter and more agile, a somewhat shy and instinctive vitality began to swell within her.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    She couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes, and looking at Chen Mobai who was replacing the tea leaves, she asked bashfully, ¡°Where¡¯s the bathroom? I think I drank a bit too much tea.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, directing her to the bathroom within the room. The Green Charm Spiritual Tea would remove the Dan Poison from the body along with the liquid.


    He stayed in the finest suite of the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, where the bathroom was inside the bedroom.


    With her cheeks blushing, Qing Nu hurriedly excused herself into the room.


    After quite some time, Qing Nu, having relieved her needs, returned with her head lowered and sat back down on the sofa.

 Chapter 1397 - Chapter 1397 Chapter 749 Deep Listening_2

    Chapter 1397: Chapter 749: Deep Listening_2 Chapter 1397: Chapter 749: Deep Listening_2 ¡°How do you feel, isn¡¯t your body much lighter now?¡±


    Chen Mobai walked over with a second pot of tea to Qing Nu¡¯s side and poured her another cup.


    ¡°Thank you, this Spiritual Tea must be very precious.¡±


    Although she felt a bit uncertain earlier, by now, Qing Nu had composed herself. The friendship she shared with Chen Mobai could be said to trust even in life and death, so she didn¡¯t feel the need to be overly concerned.


    Thus, Qing Nu took the cup filled with tea once again and began to sip gradually, bit by bit.


    ¡°It¡¯s sort of like unsellable defective goods.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu surprised and she looked up.


    ¡°Within the Immortal Gate, all elixirs for sale are free of Dan Poison, so other cultivators generally don¡¯t have to worry about Dan Poison. It¡¯s only those like you, involved in medical research and Alchemists because of occupational hazards, that might need this. But you Alchemists, compared to all of the Immortal Gate¡¯s beings, only occupy a tiny market share. So, would you call this Green Charm Spiritual Tea unsalable goods?¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled additionally, and Qing Nu looked enlightened.


    That indeed was the case.


    Moreover, top-ranked Alchemists consume a pill similar to the Nirvana Dan every so often to eliminate accumulated Dan Poison and other impurities from their bodies, incidentally strengthening their physical form.


    If top-ranked Alchemists don¡¯t need it, naturally, this Green Charm Spiritual Tea is unsalable.


    Since the grade of this Green Charm Spiritual Tea is not low, middle and lower ranked Alchemists certainly can¡¯t afford it.


    ¡°This unsalable product, to me, is indeed a supreme treasure!¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes sparkled brightly, and she sincerely expressed her gratitude.


    ¡°Here!¡±


    Chen Mobai snapped his fingers with a smile, and then the Domain opened up, letting a beautifully packaged gift box fall right into Qing Nu¡¯s arms.


    With hopeful anticipation, Qing Nu opened it and indeed found two cans of Green Charm Spiritual Tea. While her face showed surprise and joy, she spoke the opposite.


    Qing Nu: ¡°It¡¯s too valuable; I can¡¯t accept it!¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This Green Charm Spiritual Tea is useless to me; if you don¡¯t take it, I would only have to let it sit in the Domain, let it expire and spoil.¡±


    Qing Nu: ¡°That would be such a waste¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Could I trouble Miss Qing Nu to help me deal with these teas?¡±


    These words made Qing Nu smile very happily, and she nodded emphatically.


    Qing Nu: ¡°Then I respectfully accept your gracious offer, thank you!¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing that Qing Nu finally accepted his gift, also smiled,


    Both of them sipped their tea while discussing their respective experiences in recent years.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t narrate the exciting story of uniting the Eastern Wilderness; he could only talk about his relentless cultivation at the Top of Danxia Mountain, and when he wanted to relax and take a break, he would call her.


    His hard cultivation yielded good results: not only did he advance to the second layer in the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, and mastered the Guidance Book, but he also mastered Void Walking.


    As for the other accomplishments, such as the Pure Yang Scroll reaching the Gold Core Sixth Layer and the Pure Yang Daoist Body nearing the Nine Suns level, they weren¡¯t worth mentioning.


    Hearing all this, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes flashed with admiration and respect.


    She felt that her good friend before her was one of the most exceptionally talented and gifted individuals in the history of the Immortal Gate.


    The reason she was seen as possessing the Qualification of Deification was because the highest praise for talent from the Immortal Gate was this; she felt that Chen Mobai could break the historical realm shackles of the Immortal Gate, achieving beyond Deification.


    ¡°Compared to you, my life is quite mundane; every day, it¡¯s either researching various strange medicines or dissecting bodies of cultivators who died under mysterious circumstances to study the cause of death.¡±


    This surprised Chen Mobai; hadn¡¯t she been mainly taking care of the wounded of the Sky-Mending Group before?


    ¡°There are quite a few new people who have joined, so the group leader assigned them the lighter tasks, allowing us with more experience to handle the tough issues.¡±


    Here, Chen Mobai sensed Lin Daoming¡¯s influence and asked about something he had overlooked earlier.


    ¡°Did you originally want to undergo Core Formation to escape this kind of life?¡±


    ¡°There were reasons for that; the group leader said that if I formed a core, I might be able to succeed him as the deputy head of the group after being promoted in Lan Haitian. I thought having a higher position, I would get news about the Ascension Sect faster. Plus, considering your rapid advancement in cultivation, I was worried about being left far behind and not being able to catch up, so I got a bit impulsive about forming the core.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded; it seemed the problem really lay with the leader of the Sky-Mending Group Four.


    In that case, if he wanted to protect Qing Nu, it was necessary for him to take charge of the Sky-Mending Group.

    Especially since Narcissus had offered the most favorable conditions, it seemed he would need to visit the Hall of Orthodox Law after entering official service.


    Initially, he thought, if there really was no other solution, he would take Qing Nu to live in the Tianhe Realm and look after her for life.


    However, after bringing her there, before he could completely control the Immortal Gate¡¯s affairs, he definitely wouldn¡¯t allow her to return to the Immortal Gate, in order to keep his secrets safe.


    Considering she might not want to give up her ties with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing at the Ascension Sect, Chen Mobai was also unsure about his plan.


    After all, compared to her siblings, he was merely a friend to Qing Nu.

 Chapter 1398 - Chapter 1398 Chapter 749 Deep Listening _3

    Chapter 1398: Chapter 749: Deep Listening _3 Chapter 1398: Chapter 749: Deep Listening _3 With the promise from Narcissus, Chen Mobai could now smoothly enter the Hall of Orthodox Law, take control of the Sky-Mending Group, and then promote Qing Nu to become his personal secretary, keeping her under his watch at all times.


    This way, as long as Qing Nu has not formed her Core, there is no need to worry too much about the threat from Lin Daoming.


    If, after sixteen years, Qing Nu accumulates enough service time and really decides to undergo Core Formation, then that will be addressed at that time.


    Thinking of this, a huge weight suddenly lifted from Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You suddenly look like you¡¯ve breathed a sigh of relief.¡±


    Qing Nu was sipping tea while sizing up Chen Mobai, who was lost in thought, and quickly finished another cup. Then she picked up the teapot to pour herself another one, continuing to sip slowly.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just thinking that over the next few decades, we might always be together, and it feels like the years of anguish from being apart have all dissipated, leaving me relaxed and happy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu¡¯s eyes widen slightly, a faint trace of confusion on her face.


    ¡°Always together? Are you going to take a post at Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    ¡°Yes, after this term change, I will officially become the representative for the Weapon Dancing Sect within The Three Great Halls. Both Xianwu Hall and the Hall of Orthodox Law have given me very good offers. Since you are in the Sky-Mending Group, I¡¯ve decided to join the Hall of Orthodox Law and become the leader of the Sky-Mending Group!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s delicate body shivered slightly, and she almost couldn¡¯t hold the teacup steady. She was overwhelmed with emotion.


    ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to give up your quiet cultivation in Red Sandstone City for me. If you were there, maybe within a hundred years, you could reach Golden Core Perfection. Taking a position in the Hall of Orthodox Law would only delay your cultivation.¡±


    After so many years together, Qing Nu knew Chen Mobai the best. She understood that apart from cultivation, he had no other distractions in his heart as a True Cultivator.


    And now, he was willing to give up his favorite quiet cultivation for her, which made her feel a bit undeserving!


    ¡°The main reason is not you, but that the older generation of Golden Core Masters in The Three Great Halls are retiring. Among the next generation of our Weapon Dancing Sect, I am the only one who is presentable. For the glory of the Daoist Academy, I must take office. Since I have to choose one of The Three Great Halls anyway, picking the place where you are will certainly make me happier, so I decided to go to the Hall of Orthodox Law.¡±


    Chen Mobai told Qing Nu the frank truth, but even so, she was still very moved.


    Her bright and beautiful eyes became slightly red, her eyelids showing tears but also filled with the beautiful expectation of spending the next few decades together without being apart, day and night.


    ¡°By the way, I have mastered the second layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun, and the property of ¡®Quality of Food¡¯, combined with the Flame Lighting Technique, can comprehensively check the situation of the Dan Poison in your body. Let me take your pulse and see if the two jars of Green Charm Spiritual Tea will be enough for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai actually wanted to use the Echoes in the Void to listen for the presence of Fetal Transformation Essence within Qing Nu¡¯s body, but he couldn¡¯t mention the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect, so he made up an excuse.


    ¡°Okay, thank you for the trouble.¡±


    Qing Nu did not suspect anything and put down her teacup. She stretched out her fair and white wrist towards Chen Mobai, who immediately reached out with two fingers and placed them on her pulse.


    Under the Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai listened to Qing Nu¡¯s Essence, Qi, and Spirit, all of which were already at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, with only some hidden Dan Poison, essentially at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Soon, Chen Mobai heard the vastness and vast expanse of the sea, which should be the foundation of her Heavenly Spiritual Root, but this was not the answer he wanted to hear.


    With a streak of Spiritual Power entering Qing Nu¡¯s body, Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils faintly showed golden lines, and his Rank-4 Echoes in the Void, with the boost from the Guidance Book, kept listening more deeply.


    Finally, he delved into the depths of the sea.


    It was like falling into an abyss that one could never reach the bottom of, dark and deep, enough to make one¡¯s heart tremble in fear, as though it could swallow everything.


    In this pitch-black area, devoid of sunlight, it was infinitely gloomy and mysterious.


    The vastness made him realize how small he was, and in this immensity, Chen Mobai felt the infinite nature of all things, as if cradled in the arms of the sea, listening to the birth and miracle of life!


    But just as he was about to listen even deeper, Qing Nu¡¯s cry of alarm awoke him.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and saw that Qing Nu had fainted, apparently, the sound he had just listened to with Echoes in the Void was not something she could have produced at this time.


    He immediately checked Qing Nu¡¯s physical condition and confirmed that she was only exhausted from an overuse of Divine Sense and mentally worn out, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.


    Seeing Qing Nu lying on the sofa with a twisted posture, Chen Mobai stood up, took off her high heels, and then picked her up, holding her slender waist with one hand and the smooth curve of her legs with the other. He carried her to the bed in the bedroom.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While Qing Nu rested, Chen Mobai sat by the bed and watched her close her eyes and fall asleep peacefully, all relaxed and at ease, and couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly to himself.


    Here at Wangwu Cave Heaven, she probably hadn¡¯t slept for a long time.


    After he arrived, Qing Nu could relax like this every day.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai had forgotten all about Lin Daoming and Yan Xinji.


    But in his heart, he had decided that he must protect Qing Nu no matter what.

 Chapter 1399 - Chapter 1399 Chapter 749 Deep Listening_4

    Chapter 1399: Chapter 749: Deep Listening_4 Chapter 1399: Chapter 749: Deep Listening_4 Qing Nu had slept for quite a long while this time, but fortunately, Lan Haitian had already assigned her long-term missions, and the upper echelons of the Sky-Mending Group were aware of their relationship. Seeing that Qing Nu hadn¡¯t returned for many days, they assumed it was due to the lovers¡¯ reunion, unable to restrain their emotions.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai had already met with everyone he needed to see, so staying within the hotel and keeping out of public view was not an issue. Nevertheless, he made a call to Wang Shuye, informing him of his decision to accept Narcissus¡¯ invitation to join the Hall of Orthodox Law.


    Wang Shuye had no objections either; after all, although Xianwu Hall commanded everything, the Hall of Orthodox Law could take control of the Immortal Gate in times of war.


    Among The Three Great Halls, Xianwu Hall was the last place Wang Shuye thought he should go to.


    There were not only trivial matters aplenty but also a complex web of relationships¨Cnewcomers could easily offend someone if they tried to accomplish things without careful maneuvering. As for Kaiyuan Hall, it meant succeeding his post in the Rotating Committee, but this would likely preclude any further advancement.


    After all, the influence of the Kunpeng Lineage in Kaiyuan Hall was too great, not even the Heaven-Repairing Lineage at its peak could break through.


    Besides, Chen Mobai had a bit of past friction with Vice Hall Master Ye Yune of Kaiyuan Hall; working under her could be detrimental to the Weapon Dancing Sect if his patience faltered.


    By comparison, the relationships within the Hall of Orthodox Law were the simplest.


    Further, Ancestor Bai Guang had ascended from his position as Righteous Law Hall Master to become Immortals.


    Therefore, many newcomers in the Military Department and the Department of Law Enforcement joined inspired by the legend of Ancestor Bai Guang. In the future, if Chen Mobai wished to move up further, he might convert this admiration for Ancestor Baiguang to himself, elevating him as the next Righteous Law Hall Master!


    Having settled on the Hall of Orthodox Law, the subsequent actions became much simpler.


    Wang Shuye, in his final burst of energy, began to help him connect with members of the Weapon Dancing Sect in the Military Department and the Department of Law Enforcement.


    Since every Golden Core Master among The Three Great Halls was a councilor of Kaiyuan Hall, Chen Mobai¡¯s entry into the Hall of Orthodox Law would not affect his succession to Wang Shuye¡¯s position.


    After the replacement period, he would assume various positions in the Hall of Orthodox Law, while also retaining his role as a member of Kaiyuan Hall¡¯s Rotating Committee, granted by Narcissus.


    On occasions when he had to leave, Chen Mobai would leave a Formless Puppet in his room to watch over the resting Qing Nu.


    Soon, half a month had passed, and there were only ten days left until the Immortal Gate¡¯s succession conference.


    However, with Wang Shuye¡¯s help, Chen Mobai had already completed all the necessary transitions and handovers of power within The Three Great Halls for the Weapon Dancing Sect.


    Besides Wang Shuye, another elderly Kaiyuan Hall councilor was retiring, necessitating a new Golden Core Master to fill the vacancy.


    This position in the Weapon Dancing Sect was contested fiercely, as without the universally acceptable Chen Mobai, unity was difficult to maintain.


    After some competition, a Golden Core Master named Wang Xin Fu ultimately came to see Chen Mobai.


    Upon arriving at Wangwu Grotto Heaven, Wang Xin Fu immediately visited Chen Mobai.


    And the person who connected them was Wang Xingyu, a classmate and friend of Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    Wang Xin Fu was Wang Xingyu¡¯s paternal uncle.


    With this relationship in place, Chen Mobai naturally welcomed him with open arms.


    Moreover, the Weapon Dancing Sect was inherently under his command. His primary focus would be in the Hall of Orthodox Law, so he certainly needed reliable people in Kaiyuan Hall.


    If Wang Xin Fu proved to be trainable, the political legacy Wang Shuye left in Kaiyuan Hall could slowly transition to him.


    With the relationship with Wang Xingyu in place, Chen Mobai and Wang Xin Fu easily reached a preliminary understanding.


    At this time, another friend, previously arranged, arrived at Wangwu Grotto Heaven.


    Wen Ren Xuewei!


    Compared to Chen Mobai, her position in the Jumang Lineage was much more stable. Although her prospects of Divinity Transformation might seem slightly elusive, her Lasting Spring Cultivation was a solid foundation for the Nascent Soul, with a hope for Ascension!


    Thus, from the moment she mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, her lineage regarded her as a bright future of the Light.


    Chen Mobai was closely related to her, and she was also going to stay at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, so he did not go to pick her up.


    Wen Ren Xuewei kept busy for a few days upon arriving at Wangwu Grotto Heaven, meeting the key personnel of the Jumang Lineage among The Three Great Halls to ensure their interests were not diminished in the upcoming succession.


    One day, Chen Mobai actually enjoyed some leisure time, sipping tea in his room, when suddenly Wen Ren Xuewei knocked on the door.


    ¡°Have you finished your business? Before knocking, why didn¡¯t you let me know so I could brew a pot of tea for you in advance?¡± Chen Mobai greeted the elegant Wen Ren Xuewei with a smile.


    ¡°Almost done. In our lineage, two department heads are of age to step down, so some interest swaps have been made. We could only secure one of our own for a position, and the other was taken by the Kunpeng Lineage.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei naturally walked over to the tea set Chen Mobai had laid out and began to prepare tea with precise movements. Chen Mobai sat on the sofa, watching the performance of this tea ceremony master.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Oh, Ye Yune doesn¡¯t give you any face at all?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Kaiyuan Hall Master generally stays out of affairs, so in Wangwu Grotto Heaven, Ye Yune is the main administrator of the Kunpeng Lineage.


    ¡°If one grinds and gives way, maybe it could be taken back, but I¡¯m too lazy to bother with that. Let it be, after we achieve Nascent Soul Formation, we can regain double what we lost.¡±


    Hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    But just then, he heard a noise from the bedroom and his expression changed.


    After a while, a somewhat drowsy Qing Nu emerged from the bedroom.

 Chapter 1400 - Chapter 1400 Chapter 750 Expressing Respect

    Chapter 1400: Chapter 750: Expressing Respect Chapter 1400: Chapter 750: Expressing Respect Chen Mobai had not expected that Qing Nu would wake up so coincidentally.


    Just when he was entertaining Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Her languid demeanor as she emerged from her bedroom would lead any normal person to conjecture in that direction. If word got out, it would definitely affect the reputation of both him and Qing Nu.


    Fortunately, it was Wen Ren Xuewei, not someone who gossips.


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai still provided an explanation.


    ¡°I had a breakthrough in my cultivation level recently, mastering a powerful technique that surpasses my current realm. I felt somewhat unwell when using it, but at this critical time of succession within the Immortal Gate, I didn¡¯t want others to know, so I invited Qing Nu over to help me check and adjust.¡±


    After hearing this, Wen Ren Xuewei just gave a faint smile, gently nodding her head to Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, indicating her acceptance.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Senior Wenren.¡±


    By this time, Qing Nu had also snapped out of her dazed state. After Chen Mobai had finished speaking, she immediately greeted Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Both were students from the Jumang Academy, and back when they were at the academy, Wen Ren Xuewei had given her guidance due to them both having a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, so their relationship was quite good.


    ¡°After you graduated, you haven¡¯t returned to the Academy, so it must be forty-four years now. Time really flies.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei still had a gentle smile on her face. She had already prepared the Green Charm Spiritual Tea that Chen Mobai had put out. With a flick of her delicate hand, three cups of clear, lightly-scented tea had already found their way into the hands of everyone in the room.


    ¡°Qing Nu needs to maintain secrecy within the Sky-Mending Group.¡±


    After receiving his tea, Chen Mobai explained on behalf of Qing Nu.


    Wen Ren Xuewei nodded in understanding. Qing Nu had joined the Sky-Mending Group while still at the Academy, and she was aware of this.


    Moreover, only a handful of successful individuals would return to their alma mater after graduation.


    Wen Ren Xuewei simply found an excuse. After all, she had been aware of the close relationship between Chen Mobai and Qing Nu back at Jumang Academy. She hadn¡¯t expected that after so many years apart, the emotions between them hadn¡¯t deteriorated and they still maintained such contact.


    ¡°By the way, you just mentioned feeling unwell, do you need me to check on you? Due to the Lasting Spring Cultivation, my body has been constantly regenerating after numerous breakdowns and reforms. I¡¯ve often helped the Three Extremes Sage with high-end medical experiments and have inherited his genuine medical expertise.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words made Chen Mobai smile slightly.


    Finally, she had asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s really nothing serious, I just mastered ¡®Void Walking¡¯. My body crosses spaces in an instant, teleporting from one place to another, and it was somewhat unfamiliar at first. After trying a few more times, I got used to it.¡±


    ¡°Drip-drop¡±¨Ca sound!


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s hand shook, and from the tea cup she had just picked up to sip, a few drops of tea splashed out, landing on the glass tea table.


    Her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in shock.


    ¡°You mastered¡­ Void Walking!¡±


    Even though she heard it with her own ears, Wen Ren Xuewei found it hard to believe.


    Chen Mobai was seeing such an expression on her always graceful demeanor for the first time, and he felt greatly satisfied by his vanity.


    At his current position and realm, showing off to ordinary people no longer gave him any sense of achievement.


    But among the ranks of the Immortal Gate, showing off in front of someone with the recognized Qualification of Deification, Chen Mobai found the long-lost feeling of beginning his path.


    He laughed lightly, and his figure seated on the sofa suddenly shone with silver light, vanishing on the spot, to appear unexpectedly on the tea table, brewing another pot anew.


    ¡°Your talent may very well be unprecedented in the history of the Immortal Gate.¡±


    After witnessing Void Walking for herself, Wen Ren Xuewei was thoroughly convinced.


    ¡°That¡¯s too kind, I¡¯m still not at the level of the Yuanyang Ancestor, and it was also thanks to the guidance in the Guidance Book that I was able to break through and comprehend the secrets of Void Walking. Moreover, my teleportation distance isn¡¯t as far as those of the Nascent Soul Superiors, hundreds of miles in one breath, nor can it compare with your Void Teleportation.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that what he demonstrated wasn¡¯t really Void Walking, but the Underworld Array, so after showing off in front of Wen Ren Xuewei, he quickly became modest.


    ¡°That¡¯s impressive enough, considering we¡¯re both only at the Core Formation realm. To have mastered Void Walking is already a record in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    This statement by Wen Ren Xuewei made Qing Nu suddenly look up at her.


    ¡°Senior Wenren, you¡¯ve also mastered it?¡±


    Qing Nu couldn¡¯t quite believe it.


    ¡°I suppose so. But, the reason I can utilize it is only because I had access to the Method left by the sages of Jumang Academy, which allows harnessing the Power of Void with the aid of the Great Chun Tree. It¡¯s not the same as Chen Junior Brother, who relies on his innate talent. I can only apply the technique, while Chen Junior Brother not only understands it but can also apply it; there¡¯s a world of difference in the difficulty.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei humbly stated.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had seen her Great Void Transference before, an advanced version of Void Walking. Since she could utilize such a transference, evidently Void Walking wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her.


    ¡°Senior Wenren is being too modest. We¡¯ve both achieved the same cultivation, there¡¯s no distinction in rank.¡±


    Chen Mobai, fearful that Wen Ren Xuewei would ask for the specifics of Void Walking, promptly invited her to have tea after his display, for her to taste this newly cultivated Green Charm.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ this tea!¡±


    Compared to Qing Nu, Wen Ren Xuewei was renowned in the tea ritual industry of the Immortal Gate. She tasted a mouthful and instantly recognized the grade and value of this Green Charm Spiritual Tea.

 Chapter 1401 - Chapter 1401 Chapter 750 Expressing Respect_2

    Chapter 1401: Chapter 750 Expressing Respect_2 Chapter 1401: Chapter 750 Expressing Respect_2 After Chen Mobai finished explaining the origins and effects of Green Charm Spiritual Tea, she downed the remaining half-cup of tea and then closed her eyes, savoring the flavors finely.


    ¡°Can you give me a tea branch? My Enlightenment Tea has not absorbed this new tea before.¡±


    After finishing savoring, Wen Ren Xuewei spoke to Chen Mobai, who naturally nodded in agreement. He then opened his own Domain and took out a Rank-1 Green Charm tea plant that he had prepared earlier, specially re-cultivated in the environment of Danxia Mountain.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Seeing this, Wen Ren Xuewei was somewhat moved.


    ¡°Why need we be so formal between us? The millennium ahead for Immortal Gate will require both of us to join hands, leading the Dance Instruments and Jumang lineages together.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with a smile. Wen Ren Xuewei always used ¡°we¡± when speaking with him, clearly intending to continue and even strengthen the friendship of their ancestors, and he naturally gave a clear signal.


    With both sides willing, Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, the future leaders of Daoist Academies, easily reached a consensus.


    ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you further then. I¡¯ll also take this opportunity to transplant this new tea plant into my Domain.¡±


    After taking the tea plant and speaking her farewell, Wen Ren Xuewei smiled, waved at Qing Nu who blushed with embarrassment, cheeks flushing white as she hurriedly stood up.


    ¡°I should be leaving as well¡­¡±


    The two women unexpectedly reached the door at the same time.


    ¡°Then let me see you out.¡±


    Chen Mobai also stood up, primarily concerned about Qing Nu.


    Wen Ren Xuewei lived on the floor above, and the three parted ways at the staircase. Chen Mobai personally saw Qing Nu out, handing her a talisman along the way to Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, saying,


    ¡°Here there is a route marker I set. Activate it if you need me. If you¡¯re close, I can teleport directly; if far, I¡¯ll still sense it and arrive by your side as quickly as possible.¡±


    Qing Nu happily accepted after hearing this.


    After seeing Qing Nu off, Chen Mobai returned to his room.


    Soon, there was a knock on the door again.


    Wen Ren Xuewei appeared by his door, her elegant and delicate face exhibiting some embarrassment.


    She came to consult about the cultivation problem of the Green Charm tea plant, as she found its leaves had wilted after transplanting it into her own Domain.


    As an outstanding Spirit Plant Master, she had identified a few issues, but since Chen Mobai was just downstairs, she came to consult him personally.


    ¡°I think it might be due to the incompatibility of the Spirit Soil¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately gave his opinion upon hearing this, and under Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s invitation, entered her Domain. The two began discussing around the newly planted tea, starting a debate.


    ¡°Just as I thought, it appears that Spirit Soil containing the properties of fire and earth is necessary. I hadn¡¯t noticed this problem before.¡±


    Chen Mobai took a clump of Spirit Soil from his own Domain, swapped it with the one in Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s Domain, and upon replanting the tea plant, its leaves indeed began to stretch again.


    This Green Charm Spiritual Tea was improved by Chen Mobai to survive without the Qi of Dragon Vein at a low-level, but to upgrade to Rank-3, it would require the supply of Dragon Vein Qi.


    If what Yan Xinji said was correct, then Jumang Academy, home to the source of Spirit Vein on Di Yuan Star, would certainly allow the tea to grow well once Wen Ren Xuewei plants it there after her return.


    ¡°Thank you, it was really a lot of trouble.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei saw the problem solved and squinted, smiling in appreciation.


    Chen Mobai then saw her take out a tube of Spiritual Water and drip it onto the tea plant, after which the originally hand-sized tea seedling visibly sprouted a few more leaves.


    ¡°Is this¡­ Water of Ten Thousand Transformations?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai asked in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s a nurturing solution I made by diluting the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations one hundred times. It saves a lot of effort when cultivating Rank-1 and Rank-2 Spirit Plants.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei explained with a smile, causing Chen Mobai to reflect.


    ¡°It¡¯s a shame I used up all my Water of Ten Thousand Transformations; I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able to queue up to buy another batch.¡±


    ¡°That might not be impossible¡­¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Wen Ren Xuewei hesitantly began.


    ¡°Oh, has your academy recently refined more Water of Ten Thousand Transformations?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in surprise. Wen Ren Xuewei shook her head, then elaborated on the reasons.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The principal last time used your Water Spirit Pearl to refine into an Appearance-fixing Pearl, and Cui used it to commune with the Qing Shuang Sword, but it seems one wasn¡¯t enough. So, although Cui obtained the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, because she couldn¡¯t commune with the Qing Shuang Sword, she still hasn¡¯t taken that step¡­¡±


    Upon hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai immediately understood; this was good news for him.


    Initially, Nu Jiang had given him eighty-eight pearls, and since he had been gifting them away to people, he still had sixty-four pearls on him.


    If Peach Blossom Sage was willing to exchange the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, he could even go back to Water Vein, seek Nu Jiang, and get another few dozen or a hundred pearls.


    ¡°I actually still have some left over. When I was at the Mountain and Sea Academy, Elder Sister Pei hosted me, and this pearl you can take back for her when you return. I really hope she achieves Core Formation; after all, as the Cultivation Realm advances, old acquaintances become fewer.¡±

 Chapter 1402 - Chapter 1402 Chapter 750 Paying Respects_3

    Chapter 1402: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_3 Chapter 1402: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_3 During the conversation, Chen Mobai also went all out and directly took out a Water Spirit Pearl for Wen Ren Xuewei to help transfer. Seeing his generosity in giving away a hundred million just like that, she was also stunned in shock.


    ¡°Alright, I will definitely convey this to the headmaster.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei also understood what Chen Mobai meant; he wanted to exchange the pearl for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. However, it was the first time she had heard of someone opening up relations with a hundred million upfront before doing business.


    The two then talked about some matters regarding the turnover period of the Immortal Gate. The main point for both their lines was to support each other, ensuring that their own people are not excluded during this power transition by Kunpeng and Patching Heaven looking for excuses.


    However, this time because Ying Guanghua was taking over as the Head of Immortal Affairs, a group of direct descendants from Hall of Orthodox Law will inevitably be taken with him. Consequently, positions must be cleared in Xianwu Hall for these direct descendants to take over.


    The individuals that were to be cleared out were a source of friction among the four lineages.


    Naturally, Ying Guanghua wanted to clear out people not from Patching Heaven¡¯s lineage and negotiate with the other three lineages by asking their people to step down voluntarily and then vacate positions within Hall of Orthodox Law or Kaiyuan Hall as compensation.


    Amongst them, Kunpeng was powerful, so the positions and seats offered by Patching Heaven were somewhat better. Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang were weaker and might be at a disadvantage.


    But that was still nothing compared to the public officers not among the four lineages, who felt this turnover conference was like a storm; if they were not mindful, they would already be dispatched outside of Imperial City, forced to vacate their positions.


    These people naturally wanted to struggle, so they would turn to the four lineages to seek protection and so on.


    And Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, the ones in charge, would choose people who were useful to themselves, weigh the pros and cons, and consider whether they needed to accept their allegiances, using their lineage¡¯s interests to exchange with Patching Heaven, to protect these people.


    Every personnel change nearly set off a chain reaction, which is exactly why Chen Mobai needed to come early, to start sorting and weighing the overall situation under the guidance of Wang Shuye.


    Compared to him, Wen Ren Xuewei was a bit lazier, believing that whatever was lost would eventually return once she achieved Nascent Soul Formation. Therefore, the Jumang Lineage only planned to protect their own people.


    In discussing these matters with her, while being open yet concealing certain things, Chen Mobai also made deductions on the future structure of The Three Great Halls, ensuring their two lineages wouldn¡¯t suffer too great of losses during this turnover period.


    Time quickly reached the day of the turnover.


    In the great hall of Kaiyuan Hall, more than three hundred council members eligible to attend the conference entered one by one and took their designated seats.


    Soon, except for the seating for the main and deputy heads representing The Three Great Halls and a few front row seats, almost everyone had arrived.


    Shortly after, the deputy heads of Immortal Affairs and Kaiyuan Hall also emerged from a side door and took their seats on the farthest left and right sides of the podium.


    Following Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yun¡¯e, a flash of silver light, and the white-haired and white-eyebrowed Narcissus sage appeared out of thin air, taking a seat next to Ye Yun¡¯e.


    After the three deputy heads on the podium, the crowd¡¯s gaze then turned to the first row.


    Quickly, flashes of silver light sparkled, and Yuan Xu, Qing Ping, and Mei Hua, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators from Patching Heaven lineage, appeared and took their seats in the front row.


    Following these three, two more flashes of silver light shone, and the headmaster of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Beiming Ascendant, along with Yunhai Shangren from Nature Studies Academy, appeared soon after. The latter also had studied at Kunpeng Daoist Institute and had even been to the Sea Territory for cultivation, so he was considered part of the Kunpeng lineage.


    After the Nascent Soul Superiors appeared, the members of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee sharing the row with them all rose to greet them.


    Included among them was Wang Shuye.


    ¡°It seems Cheng Xuan and the others couldn¡¯t make it. It looks like it¡¯s just us four this time.¡±


    The speaker was Beiming Ascendant, a formidable middle-aged man with a broad shoulder and deep-set eyes, his entire demeanor stern and serious. Clearly, he was a highly rule-abiding and awe-inspiring powerful figure.


    Among the headmasters of the Four Great Daoist Sects, he was the youngest and also had the highest level of cultivation.


    ¡°The master is in seclusion and can¡¯t be cloned, and Yuxiao Superior doesn¡¯t like to leave home, so neither came.¡±


    Wang Shuye explained, and Beiming Ascendant nodded in response, accepting this explanation, then turned his gaze towards Nie Tinglan, the official from Jumang Academy.


    ¡°Peach Blossom Sage and Sanjue also didn¡¯t attend; it seems Dance Instruments and Jumang have no plans to make a move this time.¡±


    Hearing this, Nie Tinglan responded with a light smile and offered a similar excuse of being busy with seclusion.


    Nascent Soul Superiors in Immortal Gate held a transcendent status; even for such a conference, their attendance depended on their mood.

    Under the circumstances of being without desires or needs, the Nascent Soul Superiors from both lineages did not appear at this turnover conference, signaling they were leaving Patching Heaven and Kunpeng to fuss by themselves.


    They were waiting for the millennium when their own two candidates for Divinity Transformation would emerge!


    ¡°Sometimes, placing hopes in the future is a lack of confidence in one¡¯s current strength. Without a firm grasp on the present, Cheng Xuan¡¯s breakthrough this time might not necessarily be successful!¡±


    Beiming Ascendant suddenly uttered these words, causing Wang Shuye¡¯s face to change color. Still, faced with the questioning of a Nascent Soul Superior, he could only pretend he hadn¡¯t heard and chuckled awkwardly before preparing to return to his seat.


    ¡°That Chen Mobai from your Dance Tool Dao Academy has come this time, right? Which one is he?¡±

 Chapter 1403 - Chapter 1403 Chapter 750 Paying Respects_4

    Chapter 1403: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_4 Chapter 1403: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_4 But Beiming Ascendant suddenly spoke, addressing Wang Shuye with a question.


    ¡°Should be arriving soon, there might be some traffic on the way.¡±


    Wang Shuye had already looked around and noticed that Chen Mobai was not present, hence when confronted with Beiming Ascendant¡¯s question, that was all he could say.


    ¡°Emerging from a hundred-year retreat, I didn¡¯t expect that there would still be someone in the Immortal Gate daring to claim the Qualification of Deification. The one from Lasting Spring Cultivation is passable, having at least secured their Nascent Soul, but the other, highly praised as god-like, I truly want to see with my own eyes¡­¡±


    Beiming Ascendant continued speaking, his words full of targeted implications.


    Upon hearing this, Wang Shuye also slightly furrowed his brow.


    Meanwhile, Beiming Ascendant¡¯s expression suddenly changed¨Cnot just his, but also the other four Nascent Soul Superiors sensed fluctuations in the void, and couldn¡¯t help but stand up and turn their heads towards the entrance.


    Every action of a Nascent Soul Superior was noticed by over three hundred Golden Core Members, so when they saw their reaction, everyone also followed their gaze.


    Subsequently, atop the two empty seats in the middle of the great hall, two spots of silver brilliance suddenly lit up from nothingness, quickly expanding to form two human figures.


    The silver light reached its peak brightness in an instant, and the figures shifted from the void to reality, materializing as a handsome young man in a Dancing Device Red and Black Robe and an elegant young woman in a Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt.


    Upon emerging from the void, the young man gently reached out to support the slightly trembling figure of the young woman.


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s Void Walk utilizes the power of the Great Chun Tree, and because she has not fully grasped the true principle behind it, her physical body endures considerable strain each time it¡¯s used.


    This time it was merely Void Walking, so it was relatively manageable, but her more delicate internal organs still suffered some painful splitting.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed this and offered her a helping hand with some concern.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Under the effect of Lasting Spring Cultivation, the originally slightly pale complexion of Wen Ren Xuewei had regained its rosiness, completely concealing the fact that her internal organs had ruptured during the teleportation.


    ¡°Take a seat, the conference is going to start in a few minutes¡­¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai also smiled gently, let go of her hand, and was about to sit down, but he realized that all eyes in the conference hall were on them.


    Especially the few gazes at the front, filled with shock and amazement.


    Chen Mobai felt puzzled, checked the time, and confirmed they were not late.


    Then he saw Wang Shuye and gestured a greeting from afar.


    Prior to the change of term, he was just an ordinary member of the Kaiyuan Hall Council, so his seat was in a less noticeable area.


    Beside Wang Shuye, Chen Mobai also noticed Elder Yuanxu and Elder Qingping he had met before, and after a thought, decided to go greet them.


    ¡°Should we go over and greet the Nascent Soul Superiors?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Wen Ren Xuewei, who smiled charmingly and nodded, following him toward the first row.


    As they walked past, all the members stood up, their faces filled with respect.


    Soon, they reached the front.


    All Nascent Soul Superiors of the Immortal Gate had their images on the internet, so Chen Mobai recognized each one.


    However, he still pretended not to know them and had Wang Shuye help introduce them.


    Wen Ren Xuewei did the same, having Nie Tinglan introduce them.


    ¡°Every generation has new talents that surpass the previous ones!¡±


    After the greetings, Elder Yuanxu suddenly spoke, which made Beiming Ascendant glance at him.


    ¡°Hahaha, when you two first opened the Golden Core Domain, it was I who opened the Portal, who would have thought, I never imagined that both of you could master Void Walking while in the Golden Core Realm, truly worthy successors of the two old ancestors, possessing the most outstanding Qualifications of Deification.¡±


    During the greeting with Elder Qingping, he was clearly very pleased, after all, having opened the Portal numerous times, only during his did two such brilliant talents in the Path of Void emerge.


    Perhaps millions of years from now, Elder Qingping might be forever commemorated in history because of this.


    ¡°Not at all, we have not yet undergone Nascent Soul Formation, our achievements are far inferior to those of all the superiors, we dare not claim the Qualification of Deification!¡±


    Chen Mobai was always very modest in front of others.


    Since a consensus had been reached before, Dance Instruments and Jumang got advanced and retreated together in The Three Great Halls, so when he mentioned ¡®us¡¯, Wen Ren Xuewei smiled lightly and expressed the same self-deprecating sentiment.


    ¡°This one is Beiming Ascendant, this one is Yunhai Ascendant¡­¡±


    After greeting the three Nascent Soul Superiors from the Patching Heaven lineage, they quickly moved to the two from the Kunpeng Lineage.


    Beiming Ascendant, in public, could only stand up, shook hands with Chen Mobai, nodded his head, and then sat down without saying a word.


    In contrast, Yunhai Ascendant wore a friendly smile and even chatted with Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei for a long time.


    ¡°After the conference, we could have tea together, Qiong Zhi often talks to me about you guys.¡±


    During Yunhai Ascendant¡¯s invitation, Yan Qiongzhi, also a member of the Kaiyuan Hall Council, came over at his call.


    Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei naturally would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement.


    Although Yunhai Ascendant belonged to the Kunpeng Lineage in political terms, he generally had good relations with the other three lineages and managed to maintain peace with everyone.


    Yan Qiongzhi could become friends with Wen Ren Xuewei because he had brought her along on a visit to Jumang Academy back then.


    ¡°The time is almost up, let¡¯s head back to our seats.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai glanced at the clock above the conference hall and spoke, Yunhai Ascendant laughed and nodded in affirmation.


    Then, along with Yan Qiongzhi, the three of them left the front row.


    And on their way back, Chen Mobai noticed that all the Golden Core Members in the conference hall were looking at him with respect.


    He knew it was not just because he was destined to be the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy for the next few hundred years, but also because of the formidable talent he had demonstrated earlier.


    Among those in the Golden Core Realm who had mastered Void Walking in the history of the Immortal Gate, other than that Void Spirit Body, it was only a practitioner from the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    That was also why Chen Mobai was truly the only one who, relying on his own formidable talent, had mastered this skill.

    Qualification of Deification, indeed worthy of the name!


    One might even say, the Qualification of Deification was insufficient to describe his monstrous ability.


    Because before passing away in meditation, Zhongli laozu had left behind notes which mentioned that above Deification lay the relation with the Void.


    If Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was indeed so defying, he might become the first in the history of the Immortal Gate to potentially break through the Spirit Transformation Stage!


    Realizing this, everyone stood up and expressed their respect towards him!

 Chapter 1404 - Chapter 1404 Chapter 751 Knowing the Rules

    Chapter 1404: Chapter 751: Knowing the ¡®Rules Chapter 1404: Chapter 751: Knowing the ¡®Rules The Immortal Gate Succession Conference began and ended as scheduled.


    The Head of Immortal Affairs Lin Daoming, Vice Hall Master Gongye Zhixu, members of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee such as Wang Shuye, and other senior figures with great age and experience all announced their retirement at this conference.


    After the vote by more than three hundred members of the Kaiyuan Hall, Ying Guanghua was elected as the new Head of Immortal Affairs.


    The former Deputy Hall Master of the Righteous Law Hall, Narcissus, was promoted to become the new Master of the Righteous Law Hall.


    Qi Yuheng, the Hall Master of the Kaiyuan Hall, was once again elected and maintained his position. These three outcomes were all decided by unanimous vote.


    After the Three Great Hall Masters, it was the turn for the three Vice Hall Masters.


    Bo Xiangqian, the Director of the Finance Department, owing to his background from the Repairing Heaven Institute and his substantial experience, defeated three competitors and became the Vice Hall Master of Immortal Affairs with 86% of the votes.


    The former Director of the Enforcement Department, Gongsun Jielu, was promoted to become the Vice Hall Master of the Dharma Hall, receiving 76% of the favorable votes.


    Ye Yune, the Vice Hall Master of the Kaiyuan Hall, was also re-elected.


    The positions of the Masters and Vice Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls are of great importance, thus they require the vote of all members of the Kaiyuan Hall.


    However, all these position changes had already been discussed before the conference, and the conference was merely an announcement of the results.


    Next would be a new round of personnel shifts within the Three Great Halls.


    These were the prerogatives of the Three Great Hall Masters themselves.


    The exchanges of interests had already been fully arranged.


    Nevertheless, superficial protocols still had to be observed; in the week following the Immortal Gate Succession Conference, some department heads were removed from their positions, some were retired, some were laterally moved to other departments¡­


    In the past, these changes would have caused significant public reaction, as everyone possesses a political mind.


    But this time, the wider community of the Immortal Gate was drawn to an entirely different matter.


    That is, Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, within the Golden Core Realm, had mastered Void Walking!


    It was this incident that educated the three billion cultivators of the Immortal Gate about the term ¡°Void Walking.¡±


    After understanding the significance of mastering Void Walking within the Golden Core Realm, discussions and speculations about the two¡¯s talents became the most heated topics on the internet recently.


    Most people no longer doubted their Qualification of Deification, but there were still a few ¡°sober¡± pessimists who suggested that Chen Mobai should concentrate on Nascent Soul Formation first, after all.


    Since Wen Ren Xuewei had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, there was no issue with her forming her Nascent Soul.


    But it was still not certain for Chen Mobai!


    Talent is one thing, but without realization, it ends up as just a pile of bones in a grave.


    In the history of the Immortal Gate, there was a Void Spirit Body who likewise mastered Void Walking in the Golden Core Realm but got stuck at the stage of Perfect Core Formation and never formed a Nascent Soul, dying in dejection.


    These ¡°sober¡± voices used this case to express their pessimism for Chen Mobai¡¯s future.


    Although they were quickly criticized by the masses in thousands of comments, it also made the people of Immortal Gate aware of the genius who failed to realize his Void Spirit Body talent and perished.


    This person was a graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute named Lan Ding.


    He was also proclaimed a talent with the Qualification of Deification in the history of the Immortal Gate.


    Once considered to be the next Yuanyang Ancestor.


    Unfortunately, he fell by the wayside and stopped short of the Nascent Soul stage.


    Chen Mobai himself did not take this to heart, but his daughter Chen Xiaohei was not happy and was surfing the net every day, anonymously arguing with these so-called ¡°sober¡± netizens.


    ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t know how disgusting these people are. They keep bringing up Lan Ding¡¯s end and wish the same for you. They must be from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy¡­¡±


    In the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, Chen Mobai was on the phone with his daughter, chatting about family matters.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to pay attention to these things. You can¡¯t shut everyone¡¯s mouth. Even if I form my Nascent Soul, these people will say that just being a Nascent Soul doesn¡¯t compare to the Yuanyang Ancestor¡­¡±


    When he was young, Chen Mobai was also a member of the online surfing community and knew the nature of these people well. In any case, there are always some people who like to be contrarian to demonstrate their uniqueness and worldly sobriety.


    ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s see who else dares to say that when you become one of the Three Great Hall Masters!¡±


    Chen Xiaohei said something that caused Chen Mobai to respond with a wry smile.


    On the internet, if one were to look for something without a single negative comment, it would be the recently announced succession results on the official Immortal Gate website.


    Below the announcement of Ying Guanghua becoming the new Head of Immortal Affairs, there was nothing but positive comments, wishing the Immortal Gate ever-increasing strength and more.


    No one dared to be dissatisfied as it could indeed lead to a proverbial ¡°water meter check.¡±


    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t dwell on these things anymore. I¡¯ll be back soon. Let¡¯s visit your grandparents this New Year¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, Dad, Mom will be very happy.¡±

    After talking to his daughter, Chen Mobai tenderly put down the phone. Then he checked the time, changed into a new outfit, and waited to meet Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Yunhai Shangren was leaving Wangwu Cave Heaven tomorrow and had invited them to dine before departure.


    Yan Qiongzhi personally came to pick them up.


    The dinner was enjoyable for both guests and hosts. No agreements were reached, but at least in the future, members of the Nature Studies Academy holding public office within the Three Great Halls, who wanted to join their two factions, would not be outright rejected by Wen Ren Xuewei as before.


    ¡°Sometimes power is important, but in the end, what rules the Immortal Gate is the Huashen Ancestor. It is only because of the need for rules that the Immortal Gate has its current peace and prosperity. So, in the future, you two should not indulge in the game of power, and instead, prioritize improving yourselves.¡±

 Chapter 1405 - Chapter 1405 Chapter 751 Knowing the Rules _2

    Chapter 1405: Chapter 751: Knowing the ¡®Rules¡¯ _2 Chapter 1405: Chapter 751: Knowing the ¡®Rules¡¯ _2 Yunhai Shangren appeared as a very refined and amiable middle-aged man. To Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, he offered a few words filled with wisdom, rarely heard from him.


    ¡°Your Excellency¡¯s words hold great truth, it¡¯s just that within the Weapon Lineage, I am now the only one who can step forward. Thus, I have no choice but to leave my retreat,¡± replied Chen Mobai with a deep sigh.


    Chen Mobai was known in the Immortal Gate as a figure dedicated to bitter cultivation. After completing his studies, he returned to his hometown where he cultivated above a Spirit Vein, only stirring once every ten years for his duty reporting.


    ¡°Alas, that may be the case. Perhaps the Heaven-Repairing and Kunpeng Lineages have seen this, which is why they¡¯ve schemed to compel you into official service. After all, you cultivate too swiftly, and they fear that you might suddenly achieve Nascent Soul Formation, disrupting the current state of affairs,¡± Yunhai Shangren said, his words somewhat misaligned with his allegiance to the Kunpeng camp. However, having reached his level of cultivation, he was indeed one of the covert leaders within the Immortal Gate, genuinely needing not to care for such concerns.


    ¡°The Nascent Soul Formation is by no means an easy feat. If only I were cultivating the Lasting Spring Technique,¡± Chen Mobai sighed once more. Wen Ren Xuewei, who stood beside him, heard this and gave a slight smile. Without a word, she handed over the freshly brewed tea to Yan Qiongzhi by her side, who in turn offered it to both Yunhai Shangren and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s also good for you to take office early. After all, you are cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, and only the Three Spirit Medicines of Nascent Soul Formation from the Three Great Halls are of use to you, requiring accumulation of tenure through secular political service. Moreover, if you truly form your Nascent Soul while in office, your alignment with ¡®the Rules¡¯ might be high, giving you more hope for your future Divinity Transformation.¡±


    On Di Yuan Star, aside from the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, there are also some precious heavenly and earthly treasures within the Sea Territory that can be refined into Spiritual Water beneficial for Nascent Soul Formation. However, these are basically only consumable by cultivators associated with a Water Spirit Root.


    Yunhai Shangren himself had obtained the opportunity to form his Nascent Soul within the Sea Territory, and so had Beiming Ascendant of the Kunpeng Academy.


    That¡¯s why, historically, the Kunpeng Academy had the most Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    It was only in the last thousand years, due to the influence of the Leading Star Ancestor, that the Heaven-Repairing Lineage saw a rise in fortune. Assisted by the Leading Star¡¯s Guidance Book, they produced five Nascent Souls, forcing the Kunpeng Lineage to cede place to the Kaiyuan Hall.


    ¡°What are ¡®the Rules¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing something unfathomable in Yunhai¡¯s words, couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°This knowledge is exclusive to the Immortal Sect Nascent Souls. However, considering your distinct identities, I may inform you both in advance¡­¡±


    As he spoke, Yunhai gestured to Yan Qiongzhi, who immediately withdrew with good sense.


    Chen Mobai noticed that Wen Ren Xuewei remained composed, suspecting that she likely knew what ¡°the Rules¡± referred to.


    ¡°The Rules are a ¡®Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule¡¯¡­¡±


    When Yunhai Shangren finished explaining, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t conceal his astonishment.


    He had never imagined that the Immortal Gate possessed such profound legacies.


    No wonder, even on the barren lands of Di Yuan Star, they could endlessly achieve Divinity Transformation!


    ¡°May I inquire which two ancestors refined ¡®the Rules¡¯ before?¡± asked Chen Mobai, driven by curiosity.


    ¡°One is Taiyuan True Monarch, and the other is The True Monarch of Xuanwu!¡±


    Yunhai Shangren didn¡¯t withhold any information and answered directly.


    The True Monarch of Xuanwu belonged to their Weapon Dancing Sect, a genius who, apart from Ancestor Yunya, was the second person to achieve Divinity Transformation through ¡°The Union of Differences.¡±


    ¡°Lasting Spring Technique allows for unlimited attempts, could it not be used to try and refine ¡®the Rules¡¯?¡±


    A thought struck Chen Mobai, prompting him to turn to Wen Ren Xuewei with a question.


    ¡°The strength of the Lasting Spring Technique lies in our ability to borrow the power of the Great Chun Divine Tree. However, the infinite trials of the physical body do not mean that the spirit can do likewise. In fact, it is precisely because of the body¡¯s eternal immortality that our spirit becomes relatively the flaw and weakness,¡± Wen Ren Xuewei explained the underlying reason. To refine the Rules, one must rely on spirit and will; failing to refine would mean complete assimilation, loss of self, and consequently becoming a part of the Rules.


    Under such circumstances, cultivators of the Lasting Spring Cultivation are, in essence, with bodies still present but spirits already dead!


    There was once a cultivator of Lasting Spring Cultivation who was also the Head of Immortal Affairs before Lin Daoming; he attempted to refine the Dao Law, and now his body is still preserved within Jumang Academy, in accordance with his will, for medical researchers to dissect and experiment on.


    The contribution of this body, which can be used for unlimited experiments, to Three Extremes Sage becoming the foremost expert in medical techniques of Immortal Sect, is immeasurable.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared to have a sudden realization.


    He also admired the honesty of the Immortal Sect, realizing that in the Tianhe Realm, the Taoist Child and Saintess of all the holy lands would definitely not reveal the vulnerabilities of their cultivation techniques like this.


    However, it is precisely because of this that Lasting Spring Cultivation can only assure a firm foothold at the Nascent Soul Realm, never reaching Divinity Transformation!


    ¡°Among the fourteen ascendants of Immortal Sect today, is there nobody who can refine ¡®Dao Law¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°The probabilities for Yuan Xu and Qi Yuheng are roughly the same, but both are too proud and ambitious, both wanting to surpass the barrier of Divinity Transformation with their own talents,¡± said Yunhai Shangren, sharing secrets only known to those at the Nascent Soul Superior level.


    ¡°What a pity, who knows when I will be able to reach Nascent Soul Formation and come into contact with the Dao Law?¡± lamented Chen Mobai. If the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm knew of the existence of Dao Law, even the holy lands would go mad trying to seize it.


    As for the side effects of Dao Law, when compared to the peak realm of Divinity Transformation, which stands supreme in both worlds, they are entirely acceptable.


    Right, Yunhai Shangren just said that the existence of Immortal Sect is to cultivate the Dao Law.


    Could it be possible!


    If he implemented the system and laws of the Immortal Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, could he cultivate the same ¡°Dao Law¡±?


    ¡°I wonder, where is this ¡®Dao Law¡¯ currently kept? After hearing what Senior has said, I can¡¯t wait to see it firsthand.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s remark was met with a shake of the head from Yunhai Shangren, indicating that he should not entertain that thought.


    ¡°Dao Law is of paramount importance, being the foundation of Immortal Sect, and is, of course, kept by the hands of the two Ancestors of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. Ever since Ancestor Baiguang from your Weapon Dancing Sect entered seclusion, it has always been with the Leading Star Ancestor at Gathering-Immortal Peak.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was not disappointed; after all, he was not coveting the Dao Law of the Immortal Sect, but rather wanting to understand how to create ¡°Dao Law.¡±


    He posed another question to Yunhai Shangren.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t looked into this since I don¡¯t have a karmic connection with that ¡®Dao Law¡¯; I haven¡¯t put effort into this matter. However, I know that the Head of Immortal Affairs, who governs lands and rivers, is the constant and strong foundation that fortifies the ¡®Dao Law¡¯. You can inquire with Ying Guanghua or the recently retired Lin Daoming, they definitely know.¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai felt a slight headache.


    He had only met Ying Guanghua once, and because he had accepted the recruitment of the Hall of Orthodox Law, he had effectively refused the new Head of Immortal Affairs.


    Lin Daoming was an even less likely source, being the biggest hypothetical enemy in the Immortal Sect from his perspective.


    However, investigating the methods of Dao Law was not urgent. When he officially joined the Hall of Orthodox Law next year and took charge of the Sky-Mending Group, he could use the pretext of exchanging knowledge with Lan Haitian to see if he could pry some information from him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although Lan Haitian did not rise directly to high rank during the tenure change and become the Vice Hall Master of Immortal Affairs, he was still appointed by Ying Guanghua as the Permanent Secretary.


    Every previous Vice Head of Immortal Affairs has held this position.


    The implication here is clear.


    Moreover, since Lan Haitian graduated from Kunpeng, his rise is also pleasing to the Kunpeng Lineage.


    Compared to Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, Lan Haitian¡¯s start at The Three Great Halls is unprecedentedly favorable.

 Chapter 1406 - Chapter 1406 Chapter 752 The Immortal Sprout Cultivation

    Chapter 1406: Chapter 752: The Immortal Sprout Cultivation Project Files Chapter 1406: Chapter 752: The Immortal Sprout Cultivation Project Files After meeting with Yunhai Shangren, Chen Mobai also awaited the latest appointment concerning himself.


    Once the appointment notification from the Hall of Orthodox Law was issued, it caused quite a stir within the Immortal Gate.


    Within the Immortal Gate, it was rare to see such a transfer from a local realm to the Imperial City, from an ordinary Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, to becoming the fourth-ranking individual in the Hall of Orthodox Law¨Can almost meteoric rise.


    If it were someone else, it would certainly have caused a huge uproar and intense discussion.


    But placed upon Chen Mobai¡¯s head, what everyone noticed was why he was going to the Hall of Orthodox Law?


    Everyone believed that he deserved this appointment.


    Amidst external discussions, the power of the Weapon Dancing Sect was also, following this appointment, beginning to transfer from Wang Shuye¡¯s hands into Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°From now on, the burden will be on you.¡±


    That day, Wang Shuye also completed his retirement procedures, officially ending his 240-year tenure as a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor.


    ¡°I will return the Weapon Dancing Sect to the peak it rightfully belongs.¡±


    Facing Wang Shuye, Chen Mobai spoke, uttering words that slightly excited the former.


    Initially, when he first achieved Core Formation, he felt the same way, believing that the Weapon Dancing Sect would reach its peak under his leadership.


    However, in reality, he exhausted his energy to merely stabilize the Weapon Dancing Sect without letting the Patching Heaven and Kunpeng factions take too much advantage.


    After enduring so many years, Wang Shuye finally awaited a universally accepted successor in Chen Mobai, who could take over everything and peacefully try for Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Having struggled in Wangwu Cave Heaven for half a lifetime, I can finally return home without any distractions.¡±


    Wang Shuye¡¯s hometown was in the Snow Sea Cave Heaven in the north, very close to the far north. His last direct relative had died a hundred years ago, but even so, it still remained the haven of his soul.


    However, considering that Chen Mobai had just assumed his duties in Wangwu Cave Heaven and some unforeseen circumstances might occur, Wang Shuye would stay in the Imperial City for another year, also taking this time to collect some final data and Spiritual Objects related to Nascent Soul Formation.


    After a year, Wang Shuye would choose to return to Snow Sea Cave Heaven, to the home of his deepest childhood memories, to attempt Nascent Soul Formation.


    That day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to Wen Ren Xuewei.


    Originally, according to the Jumang Academy¡¯s plans, she was to be groomed as the head of the financial department, but with Chen Mobai emerging from seclusion, Wen Ren Xuewei felt that with such an ally, there was no need to be too high-profile, so she simply took over the role of Nie Tinglan as part of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee.


    Aside from the general assembly for each term change, being a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor was actually very laid-back, with Rotating Committee members being the busiest, but under Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s deliberate low-key approach, Ye Yun¡¯e did not assign her any tasks.


    Also, after taking up her position, Wen Ren Xuewei operated to become the head of the Inspection Group of Immortal Gate Spirit Plant Resources, a role that represents Kaiyuan Hall in inspecting forestry, medicinal herbs, and Spirit Plants across the Immortal Gate realms.


    This position allowed her a reason to travel across various realms within the Immortal Gate. She previously had a similar function, overseeing the protection of all types of precious Tea Tree resources within the Immortal Gate; this time her role expanded from Tea Tree to all Spirit Plants within the Immortal Gate.


    After gaining this position, Wen Ren Xuewei immediately applied to Ye Yun¡¯e for a business trip to inspect various locales within the Immortal Gate.


    Within The Three Great Halls, Kaiyuan Hall¡¯s primary power was this inspection duty, ensuring that the other two halls¡¯ public officials did not abuse their power, and acted within the rules and laws established by Kaiyuan Hall.


    This was also one of the exchange conditions for Wen Ren Xuewei gaining her position. As one of the members of the Rotating Committee, as long as she was not in Wangwu Cave Heaven, then from Kaiyuan Hall¡¯s end, there was one less person for Ye Yun¡¯e to confront.


    In theory, Kaiyuan Hall holds the largest power among The Three Great Halls, and it had always been controlled by the Kunpeng Lineage, but combined, the Patching Heaven, Weapon Dancing, and Jumang Lineages hold nearly half the seats.


    With Wen Ren Xuewei being outside for long-term inspections, Ye Yun¡¯e¡¯s constraints were reduced by a third.


    When Chen Mobai learned of this, he could only sigh.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Wen Ren Xuewei to use his exit to slack off.


    However, it was also a good thing, because when Wen Ren Xuewei left, she had already instructed the people of the Jumang Lineage to follow Chen Mobai¡¯s lead in Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    After sending Wen Ren Xuewei off, Chen Mobai immediately began taking over the Sky-Mending Group without stopping.


    The Sky-Mending Group, as a secret department of the Immortal Gate, primarily dealt with groups like the Ascension Sect from the Ancient Evil Path Union, ensuring that on the Di Yuan Star, no civilians fell into demonic ways or practiced Forbidden Techniques.

    In addition, if convenient, they also handled some issues that could not be exposed in public.


    For instance, the original Immortal Sprout cultivation project, because it involved Lin Daoming, the Head of Immortal Affairs, the Sky-Mending Group quickly intervened and resolved the issue once they were informed.


    Because of this, as the chief of the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai also possessed similar rights to freely travel across all the realms of the Immortal Gate, one of the few positions allowing a Golden Core Master such unrestricted movement.


    Of course, before each journey, he still needed to report to the Department of Law Enforcement.


    After all, another of Chen Mobai¡¯s roles was as the Deputy Minister of the Department of Law Enforcement.

 Chapter 1407 - Chapter 1407 Chapter 752 The Immortal Sprout Cultivation

    Chapter 1407: Chapter 752: The Immortal Sprout Cultivation Project Files_2 Chapter 1407: Chapter 752: The Immortal Sprout Cultivation Project Files_2 The previous leader of the Sky-Mending Group was Wen Lianshan, who naturally was promoted to the Director of the Enforcement Department. He very decisively handed over everything related to the Sky-Mending Group that was in his possession.


    However, after Lan Haitian¡¯s Core Formation, he had practically already transferred all authority over the Sky-Mending Group to Lan Haitian, so a lot of secretive matters still needed to be inquired about through Lan Haitian.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had considerable influence; after his appointment was announced, Lan Haitian also made a point of calling him, stating that whenever he was needed, just give a shout.


    The Sky-Mending Group is divided into nine teams, with Team One being responsible for overseeing the operations of the other eight teams, and Chen Mobai, as the group leader, also serves as Team One¡¯s leader.


    Qing Nu was in Team Four, the medical team, and on Chen Mobai¡¯s first day in office, he transferred her to his own Team One to become his personal secretary.


    The position of deputy leader of Team One, Chen Mobai offered to Lin Yin, the only person he knew.


    The two, who had both been in Red Sandstone City, could be considered to have battled side by side and shared camaraderie as comrades-in-arms.


    Lin Yin had long worked with Lan Haitian and was very clear about everything regarding the Sky-Mending Group.


    Originally, Lan Haitian had thought that after a few more years, once he had secured his position in Xianwu Hall, he would find a way to bring Lin Yin to his side.


    Naturally, Lin Yin accepted this appointment, as it was essentially a promotion.


    ¡°Deputy Leader Lin, I would like to see all the documentation on the Immortal Sprout cultivation project.¡±


    After getting the whole nine teams of the Sky-Mending Group in order, Chen Mobai issued his first command to Lin Yin in his office.


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu, who was standing beside Chen Mobai, trembled slightly, and Lin Yin couldn¡¯t help but lift his head, glance at her, then nodded slightly before bowing and leaving the room.


    After a short while, Lin Yin and another ordinary-looking middle-aged man came in. He was Mo Huaixian, the leader of Team Three, the intelligence team; all the archival documentation for the Sky-Mending Group was in his possession.


    ¡°Group Leader Chen, here are the documents you requested!¡±


    Mo Huaixian passed over a large box of documents he was holding, which Qing Nu immediately took, and then, with excitement, handed them to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have a look first, and if there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand, I¡¯ll ask you later on.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, both Lin Yin and Mo Huaixian took their leave from the office.


    ¡°Have you seen these before?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the documents in his hand and asked Qing Nu beside him. She shook her head.


    ¡°Being here, I feel like someone is watching me every moment, I wouldn¡¯t dare to probe into matters like this.¡±


    After hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai opened the documents and laid them on the table for Qing Nu to come over as well.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s look at them together. You must be very curious about the truth behind this as well.¡±


    Qing Nu nodded and, filled with excitement, her eyes fixated on the text and images of the documents.


    The Immortal Sprout cultivation project, an artificial embryo optimization project overseen by Yan Xinji from Jumang Academy, under the direction of the Head of Immortal Affairs, Lin Daoming.


    The project¡¯s aim, while the embryo was still developing, was to use medical methods to alter the Spirit Root Attributes, so that when the baby takes shape and is born, the parents could artificially create Heavenly Spiritual Root, Different Spiritual Root, and other excellent Spiritual Roots according to their needs for the child.


    If this project were completed, then in the future, everyone in the Immortal Gate might possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root, with no more False Spirit Root or True Spirit Root necessary.


    A world where everyone is like a dragon would no longer be a dream.


    After reading the start of the document, both Chen Mobai and Qing Nu were so shocked they couldn¡¯t speak.


    They had never imagined that the initial intention of the Immortal Sprout cultivation project could be this.


    However, it might also be a noble cover-up, a verbal beautification for the project.


    They continued reading.


    The initial purpose of the Immortal Sprout cultivation project was to enable every parent to choose the Spirit Root Attributes for their child at birth, and then from infancy, allow them to be raised and developed according to the most suitable Spirit Root Attributes for themselves, striving for everyone in the Immortal Gate to grow up with at least a Core Formation as their foundation.


    However, this would inevitably lead to huge social problems.


    The issue is that the Immortal Gate doesn¡¯t have enough resources!


    The Immortal Gate has a population of three hundred million. If they were all Golden Core Masters, just the daily absorption of nature¡¯s spiritual energy would probably drain the Spiritual Veins of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Moreover, with a base of three hundred million Golden Core Masters, even without Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, the chance of one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, managing to successfully form a Nascent Soul on their own, would far exceed the limits that Di Yuan Star could withstand.


    In such a scenario, if there were no wars to venture into, it¡¯s likely the Immortal Gate would perish from severe internal competition.


    Therefore, even if the intent behind this plan is good, those with brains within the Immortal Gate would never allow it to come to fruition.


    As the Head of Immortals Affairs, Lin Daoming must also understand this logic.


    So why did he still suggest to Yan Xinji to go forward with this Immortal Sprout cultivation plan?


    Chen Mobai held onto this doubt as he flipped to the very end, looking for the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s concluding remarks and approval of the project, but found the page to be completely blank.


    He couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly; could it be that the entire archive of the Immortal Sprout cultivation plan wasn¡¯t kept with the Sky-Mending Group?


    However, he quickly thought that, after all, this involved the dark secrets of Lin Daoming, the Head of Immortal Affairs; it would be normal for a minor group like the Sky-Mending Group not to keep a record.


    Just as he was about to close the file, his fingers touched the blank page and he noticed something unusual.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Qing Nu, who was beside him, noticed Chen Mobai lifting the document and stroking the last page back and forth. She couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°There is a restriction on this; it seems that the contents of this page have been hidden by the restriction.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai began to listen with the technique Echoes in the Void. Unfortunately, the content of the writing did not fluctuate, and the restriction applied was extremely intricate. With his barely third-tier talisman maker skills, he was simply unable to break it.


    ¡°Should we ask Lin Yin and the others?¡±


    Qing Nu proposed an idea, and Chen Mobai nodded in agreement. Just as he intended to call Lin Yin and Mo Huaixian in, he suddenly thought of something.


    ¡°Wait a moment, let me give Lan Haitian a call.¡±


    The Immortal Sprout cultivation project clearly touched on many deep levels. Chen Mobai felt that Lin Yin and others at their stage of Foundation Establishment would likely not be privy to this knowledge.


    Moreover, since Lin Yin was Lan Haitian¡¯s man, even if he asked him, Lan Haitian would be immediately informed, so it might as well be more straightforward to ask him directly.


    ¡°The Sky-Mending Group has many dark secrets; if any were to be leaked, each one could cause a great uproar among the Immortal Gate population, hence only the head of the group can know about these. This way, if a leak were to occur in the future, questions would be directed solely at the head.¡±


    As expected, Lan Haitian knew. When asked by Chen Mobai, he identified the crux of the matter and also disclosed how to view the content that had been hidden.


    But his last words also served as a discreet warning to Chen Mobai.


    In truth, besides the Sky-Mending Group, other high-level individuals were aware of these dark secrets, but typically if a leak occurred, the blame would fall upon the Sky-Mending Group.


    ¡°Uh-huh, I was just curious and wanted to take a look.¡±


    After saying this, Qing Nu standing beside Chen Mobai felt an overwhelming sweetness in her heart, believing that Chen Mobai was doing this for her.


    After ending the call with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai used a key to unlock a safe in his office, from which he took out a seal.


    This was the seal of the head of the Sky-Mending Group. By stamping it on the page with the applied restriction, the hidden contents would reveal themselves.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Once viewed, stamping it again would cause the contents to vanish once more.


    Under Qing Nu¡¯s expectant gaze, Chen Mobai pressed the seal onto the last page of the document.


    In no time, a long string of dark text came into view.


    After the conclusion of the Immortal Sprout cultivation project, given that it involved Lin Daoming, handling this matter required a very high level of authority.


    The conclusion and approval on this last page were personally written by Ying Guanghua, the Righteous Law Hall Master.

 Chapter 1408 - Chapter 1408 Chapter 753 The Origins of the Ascension Sect

    Chapter 1408: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K) Chapter 1408: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K) Ying Guanghua: [According to the intact records, the so-called ¡®Immortal Seed¡¯ seems to be used to tailor-make new bodies for those reincarnating via the Soldier Rebirth Technique!]


    After seeing this sentence, Chen Mobai was shocked.


    The Soldier Rebirth Technique of the Immortal Gate is quite like a lottery since one cannot carry over their cultivation from this life to the next.


    Furthermore, even if one transcends the mystery of the womb, they might still need to tread a different path in cultivation due to the differing Spirit Root Attributes of this life, wasting much of the foundation laid in their previous life.


    However, with this tailor-made ¡°Immortal Seed¡±, that issue could be avoided.


    If that¡¯s the case, then whose Immortal Seed is Qing Nu?


    With this question in mind, Chen Mobai read on.


    Ying Guanghua also speculated that the tailor-made Immortal Seed likely has a method to let the reincarnated person directly transcend the womb¡¯s mystery.


    Unfortunately, Yan Xinji, who was in charge of this project, had gotten wind of it and defected to the Ascension Sect and thus, couldn¡¯t be apprehended.


    In the end, Ying Guanghua gave his own directive: [All ¡®Immortal Seeds¡¯ should be located in welfare institutions for proper placement, with regular checks to see if they are like normal humans. If there are any non-human signs, deal with them immediately.]


    After reading all the content, Qing Nu¡¯s expression was extremely complex as she furrowed her brows.


    Chen Mobai then took out another document from the archives and, as expected, it was the personal profiles of all Immortal Seeds.


    Included were the profiles of Qing Nu, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing.


    Hesitating, Chen Mobai first handed it to Qing Nu.


    ¡°Take a look, if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t want me to know, I won¡¯t read it.¡±


    However, Qing Nu just shook her head, indicating she had no secrets from him, and directly unfolded her own profile in front of Chen Mobai.


    It documented Qing Nu¡¯s life, her time as an Immortal Seed subject, her subsequent life in the welfare institution, and her schooling in Red Sandstone City under Master Gu Changfeng.


    The initial few years were recorded in detail, seemingly placing great importance on her as a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    However, once she had been booked by the Jumang Academy, the details became scarce.


    Her university life was summed up in just two or three sentences, one of which read: Deeply connected with Chen Mobai of the Weapon Dancing Sect, suspected lovers.


    At this, Qing Nu¡¯s tender cheeks suddenly turned crimson, seemingly embarrassed.


    Chen Mobai internally cursed at Division Three for their faulty intelligence work and decided to rectify it later.


    As both fell silent, Qing Nu¡¯s profile had been reviewed completely.


    Since she joined the Sky-Mending Group during her later university years, that part of her life was filed separately and not included.


    The only thing that caught both of their attention was in the year Chen Mobai began his Foundation Establishment; in Red Sandstone City, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were forcibly taken away by a Great Ability from the Ascension Sect.


    However, this event was only briefly mentioned in Qing Nu¡¯s file and not detailed.


    After getting Qing Nu¡¯s consent, Chen Mobai immediately opened the profiles of Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    After flipping through experiences similar to Qing Nu¡¯s, they reached the crucial year.


    [There was a Golden Core Master who acted and under the protection of the Sky-Mending Group, abducted Kong Feichen and Yang Jing. Suspected undercover agents in Immortal Gate for the Ascension Sect, subsequently confirmed to be Master Shi Qing (subject to doubt?).]


    At this, Chen Mobai paused.


    The Golden Core Master who acted in Red Sandstone City, was it not Shi Qing?


    He glanced over this content, noticing it was written by Lan Haitian. He thought about calling to ask but decided to finish reading all the related archival content first.


    Lan Haitian: [The abducted Kong Feichen is of no concern, but Yang Jing, having a Dark Spiritual Root, is suspected to be the third reincarnated body prepared by Yan Xinji for the Ascension Sect Master.]


    Upon reading this, Qing Nu became overtly agitated, her body trembling uncontrollably, eventually rendering her unable to stand properly.


    Chen Mobai immediately reached out to support her limp body.


    ¡°Little Scenery¡­ she¡¯s in danger¡­ I have to save her¡­¡±


    Qing Nu babbled incomprehensibly, struggling in Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace as if she wanted to rush out of the office.


    ¡°It¡¯s been decades; if they were going to perform a body seizing, it would have happened already. Are you still in touch with Kong Feichen?¡±


    Chen Mobai held Qing Nu firmly, preventing her from acting rashly, then posed her with a question.


    ¡°Yes, he occasionally writes emails to me, containing codes that only I can understand.¡±


    ¡°Can you write to him?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a website where I can leave a message, then I get a new registered email account each time, always different but they all reach Little Dust.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered the contact method Kong Feichen had left him and found out it was the same address.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Tell him about this. Now only he¡¯s beside Yang Jing, he¡¯s the only one who can rely on.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai said so, he had little confidence in Kong Feichen, feeling the guy lacked capabilities and was unreliable.


    After all, it was he who insisted on taking Yang Jing to the Ascension Sect to deal with the aftermath of the Soul Splitting Technique.


    But now, looking at this confidential information from the Sky-Mending Group, it seemed that he might have been manipulated by the Ascension Sect, sending Yang Jing, the Immortal Seed, right into their hands.


    Chen Mobai only hoped that after learning of this, Kong Feichen would not break down.

 Chapter 1409 - Chapter 1409 Chapter 753 The Origins of the Ascension Sect

    Chapter 1409: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K)_2 Chapter 1409: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K)_2 ¡°Um¡­ I will immediately¡­¡±


    Qing Nu heard Chen Mobai¡¯s reminder, and finally reacted, immediately taking out a spare mobile phone to make contact.


    ¡°Do not contact here in the Sky-Mending Group, go find a spot outside; also, I have a few things I need to ask Lan Haitian about.¡±


    Using the Guidance Book, Chen Mobai memorized all the file contents in his mind, then informed Lin Yin and Mo Huaixian outside to bring over the Ascension Sect¡¯s data as well.


    ¡°Head of the group, the Ascension Sect¡¯s data fills three room¡¯s worth of archives, are you sure you want it all brought over?¡±


    However, upon receiving the message, Lin Yin found it a bit difficult and asked.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment, then first asked Lin Yin to bring over the data concerning Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and Ascension Sect Master.


    Soon, Lin Yin and Mo Huaixian came in, carrying two life-sized stacks of data.


    At this time, Qing Nu had also calmed down emotionally, standing beside Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Head of the group, this is just a part, after you finish, we¡¯ll go get the rest.¡±


    During his speech, Lin Yin placed the documents on the table.


    Both the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and Ascension Sect Master were part of the Antiquity Daoist System, having inherited several generations of teachings, and they brought over several generations worth of data from the creation of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai nodded, imprinting this data into his mind with the Guidance Book while he contacted Lan Haitian, to see when he would be available and invite him for a meal.


    ¡°It might be after midnight, Palace Master Ying has just taken his post recently, and as his personal secretary, I¡¯ve been quite busy.¡±


    Lan Haitian greatly respected Chen Mobai, and even though he was truly busy, he still made time for a meeting.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you, I have some issues regarding the Ascension Sect I want to inquire about, let¡¯s meet at that same place from last time, I¡¯ll have Lin Yin arrange it.¡±


    This statement from Chen Mobai made Lin Yin look up at him oddly.


    Last time it was Lan Haitian who had her arrange the venue to meet Chen Mobai, but now it was the other way around.


    The reversal in their positions lent a dramatic feeling to her life.


    Night.


    In a secluded clubhouse at the outskirts of Wangwu Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai was waiting with Qing Nu, who looked worried; she had already contacted Kong Feichen and obtained a new email, just waiting to meet with Lan Haitian before sending out the content she needed to edit.


    After waiting for half an hour, Lin Yin walked in with a road-weary Lan Haitian.


    It had been only half a month since they last met, but Lan Haitian looked somewhat haggard, apparently finding his new position by the Head of Immortal Affairs very taxing.


    ¡°This is Rank-3 Spiritual Tea, it can eliminate fatigue and clear the Heart and Mind.¡±


    Since he was asking for a favor, Chen Mobai naturally brought out something good. He handed over the brewed Snow Needle Immortal Bud to Lan Haitian, who after sipping it, his eyes brightened instantly as he felt his exhaustion dissipate.


    ¡°Such excellent tea!¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s exclamation, Chen Mobai immediately took out a small box he had prepared and handed it to him.


    ¡°This tea is the king of teas from my Danxia Mountain Tea Garden, not much yield. Take this and try it, next year when we harvest the tea, I¡¯ll prepare some more for you.¡±


    Lan Haitian looked at the palm-sized small box being passed to him, feeling somewhat embarrassed to decline.


    Even in Wangwu Cave Heaven, Rank-3 Spiritual Tea was exceptionally precious.


    Especially this Snow Needle Immortal Bud, which seemed particularly rich in Elemental Energy, very beneficial for someone like Lan Haitian who worked late into the night.


    Lan Haitian intended to befriend Chen Mobai and deepen their friendship, so after a bit of polite refusal, he laughed and placed the small box of tea leaves into his Domain.


    ¡°Is this generation¡¯s Dragon and Tiger Ancestor named Yan Xinji?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked the first question on his mind.


    The files of the Sky-Mending Group suggested that the most recent Dragon and Tiger Ancestor was likely Yan Xinji who had defected from the Immortal Gate, but had made no definite conclusion.


    Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian looked at Qing Nu beside Chen Mobai out of the corner of his eye.


    But seeing no reaction from Chen Mobai, he hesitated, then said to Lin Yin standing by the door, ¡°I have some private matters to discuss with the head of the group, please enjoy a few drinks with Qing Nu.¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Yin slightly struggled as she looked at Chen Mobai.


    She now served him.


    ¡°Listen to Secretary Lan.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not intend to keep it from Qing Nu, but obviously, what Lan Haitian was about to discuss might involve her, or maybe he did not want her to know, so he could not make it hard for Lan Haitian.


    After all, he was the one seeking Lan Haitian¡¯s help now.


    ¡°Yes, head of the group!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Lin Yin, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, breathed a sigh of relief while Qing Nu tactfully got up and walked out with her, even closing the door behind them.


    Even Lan Haitian had not expected that his own former direct subordinate would become so compliant towards Chen Mobai in just half a month.


    Though he knew such a day would come eventually, when it actually arrived, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of loss.


    But having spent over a hundred years refining himself in the Sky-Mending Group, such emotions were merely fleeting, and his face remained composed as he continued with the topic raised by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You¡¯ve probably seen the complete files of the original Immortal Sprout cultivation plan, there was also another Heavenly Earth Spirit Root Immortal Sprout back then, but it was taken away when Yan Xinji defected. I suspect it¡¯s being cultivated for Lin Daoming¡¯s Reincarnated Body.¡±

 Chapter 1410 - Chapter 1410 Chapter 753 The Origins of the Ascension Sect

    Chapter 1410: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K)_3 Chapter 1410: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K)_3 ¡°I cannot be certain whether the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor of this generation is really Yan Xinji, as all the information I can access from the Sky-Mending Group is now also available to you.¡±


    ¡°However, I can tell you one thing: Elder Yuanxu once had a secret exchange with this generation¡¯s Dragon and Tiger Ancestor, a matter not recorded in the archives of the Sky-Mending Group. So, if you want to determine whether the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor is Yan Xinji, you might ask Elder Yuanxu.¡±


    ¡°From my mouth to your ears, if you tell a third person, I¡¯ll deny that I was the one who told you.¡±


    No wonder Lan Haitian is only willing to share this with Chen Mobai, as it involves the Nascent Soul Superiors from the Immortal Gate; indeed, this requires utmost discretion.


    ¡°Why would Elder Yuanxu have exchanges with the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor? Did it happen before or after Yan Xinji¡¯s defection?¡±


    Chen Mobai inquired further. Lan Haitian replied ¡°after,¡± and, hesitating for a moment, he revealed another secret.


    ¡°I heard this from Palace Master Ying; it seems that Elder Yuanxu wanted to verify something ¨C I suspect it was to confirm if Lin Daoming colluded with the Ascension Sect. Whether Leading Star Ancestor knows about this, I am not sure.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai felt it was absolutely necessary that Lan Haitian had sent Qing Nu and Lin Yin away.


    The content of their current conversation, if leaked, would cause a huge upheaval within The Three Great Halls.


    It is only because Chen Mobai has now formally taken over the Weapon Dancing Sect that his status has changed, which is why Lan Haitian would disclose such information to him.


    ¡°What¡¯s the relation between Yang Jing¡¯s Dark Spiritual Root and the Ascension Sect Master?¡±


    Chen Mobai posed the second question of the day.


    At this point, Lan Haitian¡¯s face showed a look of regret.


    After much hesitation, he finally sighed and gave a reluctance answer.


    ¡°The Ascension Sect Master, during his first soldier resolution and reincarnation, was admitted to the Kunpeng Daoist Institute because of his exceptional talents, and he inherited the Liu Yu Scripture.¡±


    ¡°With incredible wisdom, he devised a way to fully cultivate the Liu Yu Scripture¨Csoldier resolution and reincarnation.¡±


    ¡°Each life practicing a different section, and upon the culmination, when he integrates all six sections, he might become another person like Zhongli Laozu¨Cwho practiced Liu Yu Scripture to completion, turning into the Candle Dragon who brings daylight with open eyes and night when they close, possessing boundless divine skills.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils dilated, his face filled with shock.


    Although he had long suspected that the Ascension Sect had an unusual relationship with the Immortal Gate, he did not expect the leader of this heretical cult to have such a background.


    No wonder the archives of the Sky-Mending Group contained very little about the current Ascension Sect Master.


    It is probable that the Kunpeng Lineage felt humiliated and thus expunged the records.


    ¡°The Dark Spiritual Root corresponds to the obscure part of the Liu Yu Scripture, representing eternal night and twilight, and only a cultivator with the Dark Spiritual Root can fully cultivate this section.¡±


    Therefore, after Yang Jing was taken away, Lan Haitian combined what he knew about the Ascension Sect Master and came to this conclusion, which he recorded.


    ¡°Is Kong Feichen, being of the Wind Spiritual Root, also one of the backup Immortal Sprouts for the Ascension Sect Master?¡±


    Chen Mobai considered this as well, since the Liu Yu Scripture contains a section on wind.


    ¡°That¡¯s unlikely because during the Ascension Sect Master¡¯s first soldier resolution, he already reached completion with the Liu Yu Scripture¡¯s wind section.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure whether to feel relieved or worried.


    How much better it would have been if Yang Jing and Kong Feichen could have swapped places!


    Why must all the suffering befall Yang Jing!


    ¡°Given this, why hasn¡¯t your Kunpeng Lineage taken action to eliminate the Ascension Sect Master? Keeping him around does no favors to your reputation, does it?¡±


    Lan Haitian laughed bitterly upon hearing this and disclosed yet another secret.


    ¡°Three hundred years ago, the Kaiyuan Hall Master, endorsed by two ancestors, led Immortal Gate¡¯s elites away from Di Yuan Star to personally eradicate the Ancient Evil Path Union.¡±


    ¡°The result of this battle was significant: the Ascension Sect Master¡¯s soldiery resolved self was exterminated, Master Huakai was beheaded, and the spirit and soul of that generation¡¯s Dragon and Tiger Ancestor were completely obliterated; others like the Gold Stone Nunnery Head, and True Yang Daoist also perished under the coordinated attack of the Immortal Gate¡¯s forces.¡±


    ¡°Of the Antiquity Daoist System, only Shenyu Xuanzhu (Divine Control Pavilion Master) and the Life and Death Hall Master remained intact, with the latter not participating and hiding as soon as he heard the news. Shenyu Xuanzhu, on the other hand, managed to escape by detonating seventy-two avatars in a suicide attack.¡±


    ¡°After this battle, all the remnants of the Ancient Evil Path Union truly banded together. The Ascension Sect Master returned from his second soldier resolution and quickly regained strength, managing to subdue the rest; thus, the united Ancient Evil Path is now known as the Ascension Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew this history: the predecessor of the Ascension Sect was the Ascension Gate, an ancient sect in pursuit of feathery ascendance and transcendence.

    When the Evil Paths united later, the leader of Ascension Gate, being the strongest in cultivation, was elected as the Sect Hierarch.


    ¡°Three hundred years ago, the Ancient Evil Path suffered such huge losses. It seems that our Immortal Gate¡¯s Nascent Soul Superiors are quite a bit more powerful than those of the Evil Path, aren¡¯t they?¡±


    In the past millennium, two Nascent Souls of the Immortal Gate passed away in meditation: one of them was a previous Head of Immortal Affairs who sought to refine the rules, and the other was a predecessor headmaster of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    Judging by their age, they both died a natural death, indicating that not a single Nascent Soul Superior was lost in the battle against the Ancient Evil Path.


    ¡°Brother Chen, that¡¯s because Ancestor Baiguang was commanding the Immortal Gate¡¯s side during the encounter.¡±

 Chapter 1411 - Chapter 1411 Chapter 753 The Origins of the Ascension Sect

    Chapter 1411: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K) ¨C Part 4 Chapter 1411: Chapter 753: The Origins of the Ascension Sect Master (7K) ¨C Part 4 Lan Haitian smiled as he explained why the Immortal Gate had not suffered much loss, whereas the Ancient Evil Path Union had faced utter defeat, and nearly half of their elite had been slain.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened.¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression showed sudden realization.


    ¡°It is said that the Ascension Sect Master was quite confident initially, wanting to lead the coalition of the Ancient Evil Path Union to confront the Immortal Gate, proving his formidable strength and even hoping to break through his bottleneck during the battle to cultivate his Primordial Spirit and return to Di Yuan Star.¡±


    ¡°But then, Ancestor Baiguang struck with a single sword. With that strike, the Ascension Sect Master was already decapitated. If it weren¡¯t for an ancient secret treasure blocking it momentarily, I fear even his Heart and Mind would have been annihilated, leaving no possibility for his soldier resolution and reincarnation.¡±


    ¡°With the death of the Ascension Sect Master, the Ancient Evil Path Union crumbled like a fallen tree scattering monkeys, chased down by the likes of Kaiyuan Hall Master, eventually leading to such a great triumph.¡±


    It seems it was all due to the awe-inspiring might of Ancestor Baiguang of the Weapon Dancing Sect, leaving them no room to resist!


    Upon hearing this, a sense of indescribable pride surged in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    It was probably because of this that Lan Haitian would share such confidential matters with him without reservation.


    After all, Chen Mobai is now representing the Weapon Dancing Sect within the Immortal Gate and can also represent Ancestor Baiguang.


    ¡°Lan brother, I have one last question¨CIs Qing Nu the resurrected daughter of Yan Xinji?¡±


    Chen Mobai had examined the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s documents, found no mention of Fetal Transformation Essence, and thus didn¡¯t dare to directly ask Lan Haitian about it, so he simply approached the subject this way.


    ¡°I have also inquired about this with the Three Extremes Sage. He believes that with the techniques of the Immortal Gate, it is impossible to fully resurrect a person. Though Yan Xinji is a prodigious talent, at most they could only use his daughter¡¯s genes to engineer a new infant.¡±


    ¡°Qing Nu¡¯s appearance and genes are indeed identical to Yan Xinji¡¯s deceased daughter, but her soul is entirely new. Yan Xinji created her, so one could say he is Qing Nu¡¯s father, but she is definitely not that same daughter who died.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps Yan Xinji believes Qing Nu is his daughter, but from the viewpoint of the Immortal Gate, she is merely an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, parentless.¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai felt at ease.


    ¡°Thank you, Lan Brother, for coming so late to clarify my doubts.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised the tea cup in his hand, offering a toast to Lan Haitian.


    After discussing these secrets, the two of them also talked about the recent turmoil among the upper echelons of the Three Great Halls.


    The matters concerning Xianwu Hall were even more complex, as it oversaw thousands of departments, encompassing various industries and aspects across the Immortal Gate.


    Since Lan Haitian had newly transferred there, even with the help of the Patching Heaven and Kunpeng sects, it felt quite strenuous.


    Yet, he enjoyed it.


    Because as long as things continued in this manner, after a hundred years, he would surely have a share in the Immortal Gate¡¯s refined Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine.


    And whether he successfully achieves Nascent Soul Formation a hundred years later, he would naturally take over the position of Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall.


    If he does not achieve Nascent Soul Formation, he could wait another hundred years and obtain another batch of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.


    Within the Immortal Gate, this was considered a path to the heavens.


    At 3 am, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian reluctantly ended their conversation.


    ¡°Lan Brother, take care!¡±


    Chen Mobai personally escorted Lan Haitian out, where Lin Yin was waiting to drive.


    ¡°Brother Chen, we¡¯ll chat again when there¡¯s time.¡±


    After bidding a spirited farewell, Lan Haitian got into the car and left.


    Watching him leave, Chen Mobai then returned with Qing Nu.


    Along the way, he shared some of the content he discussed with Lan Haitian with Qing Nu. Among them, the fact that the Ascension Sect Master had cultivated the Liu Yu Scripture greatly shocked Qing Nu.


    ¡°Yang Jing is indeed likely in danger. Report this matter to Kong Feichen. Now that the trouble of the Twofold Divine Technique has been resolved, see when is suitable, and I¡¯ll arrange for him to renounce darkness for light.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words touched Qing Nu deeply, yet she worried those words might bring trouble to him.


    ¡°If Yang Jing is really going to be seized by the Ascension Sect Master, his chances of mastering the Liu Yu Scripture would increase, which is not good for the Immortal Gate.¡±


    ¡°If Kong Feichen listens to our advice and brings Yang Jing back to the Immortal Gate, that would be a great achievement. I¡¯ll work on it, and he should be able to avoid the death penalty, at most he would be imprisoned for life. I can arrange the prison, ensuring he will be comfortable, and he might even be able to continue his cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, if he behaves well and divulges some information about the Ascension Sect that the Immortal Gate doesn¡¯t know, there might be a possibility of reducing his sentence, allowing him to come out early and enjoy the beautiful and free air of Di Yuan Star.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words filled Qing Nu with hopes.


    She was already imagining the beautiful life after Kong Feichen and Yang Jing returned and attended her wedding with the people around her.


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ve already sent the email to him, and I hope he contacts us immediately after seeing it.¡±


    In her excitement, Qing Nu typed quickly. After Chen Mobai reviewed and found no issues, she clicked send successfully.


    The two walked in the suburban area at three in the morning, and by the time they returned to the apartment Qing Nu rented, an hour had already passed.


    This was also Chen Mobai¡¯s residence.


    Because he was worried about Qing Nu being taken away by Lin Daoming, after confirming his join in the Hall of Orthodox Law, he also found an apartment here.


    This place was a public rent apartment belonging to the Immortal Gate, other public officials looking to reside here would definitely need to queue.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s identity was different. The public official who lived above Qing Nu got promoted on the second day, from being a minor clerk at the Ministry of Mining, elevated to Vice Director of the Mining Bureau in an outside Blessed Earth City.


    Although switching from a Capital Official to a local one, the lure of governing a place made him joyfully accept the appointment, finishing the handover at the fastest speed and heading off to his new role far from Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    ¡°Good night!¡±


    At the stairwell, Chen Mobai smiled and bid farewell to Qing Nu, who, watching his ascending figure, hesitated for a long time, too embarrassed to invite, could only blushing, entered her own room.


    In a blink, another half-month passed.


    Since they lived at the same place, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu went to and from work together every day. To outsiders, the two seemed almost officially together.


    ¡°For the new year holiday, do you want to visit Jumang Academy again, and help me with something as well?¡±


    That day, Chen Mobai spoke to Qing Nu with a suggestion.


    Because in Red Sandstone City he still had a family, it wasn¡¯t suitable to bring Qing Nu there, but he was also worried that during this time, Qing Nu might be taken away by Lin Daoming.


    As he was worried, Wen Ren Xuewei called.


    She talked to Peach Blossom Sage about the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. The latter said she would be willing to trade if there was a Water Spirit Pearl.


    Chen Mobai thought it was an opportunity to let Qing Nu take the pearls back to Jumang Academy, allowing her to revisit her alma mater after more than forty years and have a good new year there.


    He didn¡¯t believe Lin Daoming would dare to kidnap someone from Jumang Academy.


    ¡°Oh¡­ Alright! What is it?¡±


    After listening, Qing Nu¡¯s face showed a bit of disappointment, but she still obediently nodded.


    She had hoped to spend the new year with him.

    After hearing her response, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief and handed her ten pearls.


    ¡°Such precious things, and you want me to handle it?¡±


    Qing Nu was astonished to hear it was a matter worth ten billion.


    ¡°The only person I trust by my side is you, I don¡¯t feel secure with anyone else.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the feeling of loss in Qing Nu¡¯s heart disappeared, she nodded solemnly, indicating she would not let him down.

 Chapter 1412 - Chapter 1412 Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)

    Chapter 1412: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K) Chapter 1412: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K) Qing Nu was given an early vacation by Chen Mobai, and with ten Water Spirit Pearls, she headed to Linwu Cave Haven.


    Of course, before she left, Chen Mobai had already informed Wen Ren Xuewei, who would arrange the handover matters later.


    After Qing Nu left, Chen Mobai began to bid farewell to his friends in Wangwu Cave Heaven one by one.


    He also went to the Portal Administration Bureau and bought two more Void Blind Boxes.


    One of them turned out to be empty, but the other did contain something.


    Thanks to the Auspicious Blessing, the outcome was quite decent, yielding some Rank-3 talisman paper and talisman ink, along with several well-preserved talismans of various grades.


    Among these, what surprised Chen Mobai the most was a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    After inspecting the talisman paper and ink, he indeed found Rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman. However, Chen Mobai¡¯s own talisman workshop had already replicated these.


    But he could still take them back to compare and see if there were any differences from the past reproductions.


    Chen Mobai stored the loot from the blind box opening in his Domain, pondering what he should claim to have opened to the public.


    He was definitely not going to mention the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, since even without the blind box and with the Inner Observation of the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he could manage to master it given some time.


    After considering for a while, Chen Mobai soon thought of something and decided on it.


    After opening the blind box, Chen Mobai arranged the duty roster for the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s holiday staff, then announced a holiday three days in advance.


    However, as a leader, he definitely had to stick it out until the last shift.


    In the last three days, he took the time to visit Meng Huang.


    Having been in Wangwu Cave Heaven for so long and only now visiting her, a good friend, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed.


    But he had indeed been very busy before.


    Meng Huang was very delighted by his visit, showing not the slightest bit of discontent.


    After all, during this time, the appointment notifications from the Three Great Halls of Xianmen kept coming. As an official staff member on the roster, she was well aware of the enormous pressure and power one must shoulder after taking charge of one of the four branches of the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s visit to her was already more than satisfactory.


    She just feared that Chen Mobai, being in a high position, might cut ties with her, an actress, to maintain his own reputation.


    That day, the alarm clock rang in the morning.


    Chen Mobai, who had spent a wonderful night, opened his eyes and released the delicate body in his arms. Meng Huang, who was exhausted from toiling all night, was immediately jolted awake by this movement.


    ¡°Rest well.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s flight was this morning. After using the Underworld Array, his visit to Meng Huang¡¯s couldn¡¯t be detected by anyone, so she didn¡¯t need to help him leave.


    ¡°Mm, see you next year!¡±


    Wrapped lazily in the quilt, Meng Huang waved weakly at Chen Mobai, who was picking up and putting on clothes by the bedside floor, and then fell deeply asleep again.


    After dressing, Chen Mobai vanished with a flash of silver light from the room he had stayed in for three nights.


    For these three days, having finished his work at night, he would stay over here.


    Meng Huang was extremely delighted by his visits, staying indoors for three days and three nights without stepping out.


    Especially last night, knowing that he was leaving, she was passionately fervent.


    It was a pity that after Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation, she was no longer his match, not to mention his Longevity Dao Body, which was skilled in recovery, with Meng Huang tenderly begging for mercy every time.


    At the airport lounge, Chen Mobai was somewhat nostalgic for the past few days.


    Fortunately, his will was firm and upon arriving at Red Sandstone City, he had returned to his usual calm Dao Heart.


    In the airport, the City Lord of Red Sandstone City, Sui Shanfu, personally led the heads of various departments waiting for his arrival.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for this in the future; I¡¯m just going home for the New Year.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to Sui Shanfu, as he has always been modest and disliked such fanfare.


    ¡°Yes, yes, Commissioner Chen!¡±


    After hearing this, Sui Shanfu immediately nodded in agreement. However, unless Chen Mobai said no, he would have definitely arranged it.


    That¡¯s just how it is in these circles; you have to do your best before the leader says otherwise.


    After all, Chen Mobai¡¯s identity was now different.


    He was not only a member of the Rotating Committee of Kaiyuan Hall, but also the Deputy Director of the Department of Law Enforcement, and Major General in the Military Department, ranked among the top twenty influential figures on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side.


    Not to mention, nominally, Red Sandstone City was still under his jurisdiction, making it his direct power base.

    On the way, Chen Mobai chatted with Sui Shanfu about this year¡¯s state affairs and people¡¯s livelihood in Red Sandstone City. Although he didn¡¯t manage affairs directly, he would still get informed every year, as in the end, he needed to sign and approve the summary report submitted to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    ¡°Oh, Mysterious Frost Company¡¯s annual turnover has reached three hundred million, not bad at all.¡±


    Among the topics, Sui Shanfu mentioned something that made Chen Mobai very happy, which was that Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Killing Qi Energy Company, with continuous policy support and endless graduates from the three major academies joining, was starting to thrive and had become one of the top three taxpayers in Red Sandstone City.


    The Killing Qi energy market of both Danxia and Red Sandstone Cities was basically dominated by Mysterious Frost Company.


    However, Yan Bingxuan did not blindly expand after opening the market. Instead, she began to strive for perfection, planning to create higher-grade Killing Qi Essence Liquid with the help of the advanced technology of Five Elements Essence Puppets.

 Chapter 1413 - Chapter 1413 Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)_2

    Chapter 1413: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K)_2 Chapter 1413: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K)_2 Recently, she has been synthesizing Rank-3 Spiritual Liquids. If she really succeeds in one, she can leave Red Sandstone City and start advancing into the markets of the great Grotto Heavens.


    By then, with Chen Mobai¡¯s support, she will definitely not lack for business.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai immediately sent Yan Bingxuan a text message. As she often led her team in the lab to artificially synthesize Evil Qi, he was deeply afraid of disturbing her.


    Half an hour later, Yan Bingxuan called back.


    Chen Mobai had just finished overseeing this year¡¯s government report for Red Sandstone City and immediately activated the Underworld Array, teleporting straight to Mysterious Frost Company.


    ¡°Eh, are you about to make a breakthrough in your cultivation? Congratulations!¡±


    Inside the office of Mysterious Frost Company, Chen Mobai saw the cold and beautiful woman sitting on the office chair and noticed her somewhat uncontrollable Spiritual Power Fluctuations, smiling slightly with happiness.


    When he was at the Golden Core Fifth Layer, Yan Bingxuan was just at the Foundation Building Seventh Layer. After she broke through this later-stage bottleneck, although her Ice Spirit Root value still needed to be improved, her progress was not slow.


    Now, seven years later, not only had she broken through to the Foundation Building Eighth Layer, but her Spiritual Power was also brimming and overflowing, clearly on the verge of breaking through to Foundation Building Ninth Layer at any moment.


    Perhaps she could even try opening a Domain with Chen Xiaohei in the same batch.


    ¡°Compared to you, I¡¯m far behind.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan looked at Chen Mobai who appeared out of thin air in her office, her face revealing a warm smile like melting ice and snow.


    Every time he saw her smile, Chen Mobai always felt a sense of warmth.


    After all, this beautiful scene was something only he could witness.


    ¡°When you reach the Foundation Building Ninth Layer, I¡¯ll see if I can arrange the opening of a Portal. Elder Yan Qiongzhi was able to successfully open a Domain at the Foundation Building Realm, maybe you can too.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused Yan Bingxuan to shake her head with a lack of confidence.


    ¡°Great-aunt was born with an Innate Ice Spirit Root and had peerless talent, that¡¯s why she was able to do that. I definitely can¡¯t.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan spoke the truth. By common sense, the probability of her opening a Domain in the Foundation Building Realm was extremely slim, but it might be possible with Chen Mobai¡¯s help.


    ¡°This is a Void Stone I obtained from a blind box; take it and try to comprehend it.¡±


    Thinking of his daughter about to attempt opening a Domain while realizing it would take him more time to achieve the third layer of Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun, he decided to ¡®whitewash¡¯ the Void Stone through the Immortal Gate.


    It was a pity that Qing Nu and Meng Huang had already been at Foundation Building Ninth Layer and had attempted to open a Domain. After failing, they could only wait for Core Formation.


    Otherwise, Chen Mobai would certainly arrange for them as well.


    ¡°This is too precious, I can¡¯t take it!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was shocked to receive a Void Stone from Chen Mobai and quickly stood up to refuse.


    Void Stone was one of the nine greatest rarities at the Immortal Gate, a top-tier ore among the most precious nine types of mineral stones.


    At the auction held every eighty years, a Void Stone of clear origin was acquired by Elder Yuanxu for 1.3 billion Good Deed Points.


    Yan Bingxuan, who studied at the Repairing Heaven Institute, had also heard about this. It was said that Elder Yuanxu treasured the Void Stone, using just a little powdered stone each time for experiments, valuing it immensely.


    ¡°Take it, do we still need to be so formal with each other? More than half of the Good Deed Points I¡¯ve used to open that Void Blind Box were earned by you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s account had nearly seventy million Good Deed Points, which were the earnings of Mysterious Frost Company over the years.


    Although the Talisman Factory he ran at the Immortal Gate also generated profits of over ten million Good Deed Points each year, it was mostly just a facade, supplying most of the Talisman Paper and talisman ink for the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    If he needed to use more funds to buy blind boxes at the Immortal Gate in the future, he would likely need to expand Mysterious Frost Company significantly.


    Previously to avoid drawing attention, and now that he held a high position with considerable authority, he could cover for it.


    Yan Bingxuan still tried to refuse, but Chen Mobai placed it directly into her hands.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard to cultivate Ice Soul Divine Light. I want to see your efforts not go to waste. Take it. I hope you can successfully open a Domain because then you can go further with me in the future. I don¡¯t want to find myself without you as a friend a hundred years from now.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yan Bingxuan, who was about to refuse again, stop in her tracks. She looked up, met his sincere gaze, and clutching the Void Stone tightly in her hand, nodded firmly.


    ¡°I understand, I won¡¯t let you down!¡±


    Seeing that Yan Bingxuan had accepted the Void Stone, Chen Mobai also smiled.


    ¡°Shall we go out for a walk?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan asked in a gentle tone that others couldn¡¯t hear. In the past, whenever Chen Mobai emerged from seclusion at the top of Danxia Mountain to see her, they would walk together to admire the scenery of the Parasol Tree Forest.


    ¡°Perhaps not. Given my current sensitive status, I don¡¯t want to be seen and photographed by students. Let¡¯s just talk together; it feels like it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve chatted.¡±

    Chen Mobai thought about his current status and shook his head, fearing he might be seen and photographed by students.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded in agreement and then took a seat opposite Chen Mobai on the sofa.


    Their conversation mainly revolved around the matters of opening a Domain.


    Ice Soul Divine Light could help stabilize the Power of Void, increasing the hope of Cultivators successfully opening a Domain.


    That was Elder Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s method, and as a cultivator focusing on resource methods, Chen Mobai naturally had his own methodologies.

 Chapter 1414 - Chapter 1414 Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)_3

    Chapter 1414: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K)_3 Chapter 1414: Chapter 754: Void Stone (7K)_3 He conveyed the fluctuations of the Void he had heard to Yan Bingxuan, guiding her to feel the Power of Void within the Void Stone.


    This process was extremely difficult.


    After all, Yan Bingxuan was merely a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    However, since she had the successful approach of Yan Qiongzhi to follow, her starting conditions were far superior to other cultivators of her Realm who could not break through the initial threshold.


    Chen Mobai instructed for a long time and finally, using the Ice Soul Divine Light, she captured the first strand of Power of Void.


    Regrettably, her Realm was not sufficient, and the strand of Power of Void was not frozen by her and dissipated into the air.


    A look of heartache and frustration appeared on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s face.


    ¡°Practice slowly. Once you use up this piece of Void Stone, let me know. There are a few more in the blind boxes I opened.¡±


    ¡°This one is enough; I will treasure it,¡± she said, shaking her head to show that she would redouble her efforts to master the knack of freezing the Power of Void before the stone in her hand was used up.


    ¡°Also, remember to balance work and rest. Take a good break during the holidays.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile to Yan Bingxuan, who looked exhausted but held on to the Void Stone tightly.


    ¡°This year I¡¯ll be on duty at the company, I don¡¯t feel at ease leaving those Rank-3 Killing Qi Essence Liquids in the hands of others.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan shook her head, indicating that she would not take a holiday this year.


    Chen Mobai listened and said no more; after all, it was her company.


    As the sky began to darken.


    Chen Mobai also took his leave and returned to his home in Red Sandstone City.


    Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui were preparing dinner. After this meal, he left Red Sandstone City early the next day, heading for Yu Wood City.


    The warm Fuxia Flower Shop had not changed since he had left.


    The crisp sound of the wind chimes rang as he stepped through the door.


    Shi Wanyu, who was arranging various fresh flowers, looked up at the sound, and her face showed an unprecedented joy when she saw him.


    Not long after, Chen Xiaohei also came downstairs, cheerfully calling out as soon as he saw Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Take your parents here tomorrow.¡±


    At night, Chen Mobai said to Shi Wanyu in his arms, and she suddenly trembled, raising her head with touch.


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s parents were also ordinary Qi Practitioners.


    Her mother was from the Yu family and had only her as a daughter.


    Initially, Shi Wanyu returned home pregnant after graduation, which made her parents so angry they even declared to cut off relations.


    But after all, she was their flesh and blood. When Xiao Hei was born, the elders rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news.


    Later on, it was Shi Wanyu¡¯s mother who sought help from the Yu family; eventually, Yu Huiping personally came over from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains and took away Xiao Hei, who had the Nine Yin Meridian.


    After Xiao Hei¡¯s birth, the relationship between Shi Wanyu and her parents had eased somewhat, especially in recent years as the elders approached the end of their lifespan and moved into a nursing home.


    Perhaps as death approaches, one tends to care less about face.


    Having an unmarried daughter is just that; after all, it is the continuation of their bloodline.


    After Chen Mobai recognized Chen Xiaohei as his daughter, Shi Wanyu also informed her parents about it and explained the reasons for her past actions.


    Knowing it was their daughter¡¯s mistake, the elders understood why, no matter how they pressured her, Shi Wanyu refused to disclose Xiao Hei¡¯s father¡¯s identity for so many years.


    After learning the truth, the elders also felt apologetic towards Chen Mobai.


    After all, their son-in-law had quite the reputation in Immortal Gate.


    Had it not been for Shi Wanyu¡¯s certain methods, it would have been impossible for her to bear him a daughter.


    Hence, both elders wished to apologize to Chen Mobai on behalf of Shi Wanyu.


    However, this was something that Shi Wanyu was reluctant to mention to Chen Mobai, so the daughter, understanding her mother¡¯s difficulty, secretly informed Chen Mobai.


    Now that they were family, during the New Year, Chen Mobai, as the son-in-law, should definitely pay a visit to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.


    ¡°Very well, truly handsome and extraordinary.¡±


    After getting Chen Mobai¡¯s approval, Shi Wanyu fetched her parents from the nursing home. Seeing Chen Mobai standing with Chen Xiaohei, the old couple sitting in wheelchairs nodded in approval.


    ¡°Tomorrow, my parents will also come over, and I¡¯ve bought a house in the suburbs. Let¡¯s spend the New Year together as one big family.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke about his plans; Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui had come over by train today as well.


    ¡°You make the arrangements; we have no objections!¡±


    The mother-in-law said kindly.


    They knew of Chen Mobai¡¯s status in Immortal Gate and that his daughter¡¯s existence could not be made public. Still, both families having a meal together symbolized his recognition of Shi Wanyu as his Daoist couple, and to the elders, that was enough.


    On New Year¡¯s Day, Chen Xiaohei spent time with her grandparents and maternal grandparents, playing a card game.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, went upstairs to rest early with Shi Wanyu.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In this suburban house in Yu Wood City, the big family enjoyed the New Year together.


    Although the tender familial love was intoxicating, Chen Mobai did not forget about cultivation.


    Since the Spirit Vein here was only of a Rank-3 level, it was not suitable for his cultivation.


    Apart from practicing the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, he was refining a secret technique he had been advancing for a long time, the Precious Golden Light.


    He had already cultivated this technique to the ¡°Precious¡± Realm, and it would probably take another six years of Refining the Golden Crystal to reach the highest Realm, ¡°Refine Treasure.¡±

 Chapter 1415 - Chapter 1415 Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)_4

    Chapter 1415: Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)_4 Chapter 1415: Chapter 754 Void Stone (7K)_4 ¡°¡±¡±Under the Inner Observation bestowed by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he managed to decipher all the profound mysteries of this secret technique. Within merely a half year, he accomplished what would normally take two to three years of cultivation.


    It would probably take about another half a year to completely master the technique.


    Having realized this, Chen Mobai hung the Crown¡¯s Inner Observation above the Precious Golden Light, aiming to reach completion in the shortest time.


    After perfecting it, he would use his Refining Treasure Realm to investigate the origin of that piece of black cloth he acquired from Yan Fusheng.


    Based on his conjecture, this cloth could at least be a fourth-grade Magical Weapon, otherwise, it couldn¡¯t have withstood the edge of the Purple Electric Sword.


    He also considered whether to bleach it with the Void Blind Box, then have a Treasure Appraiser from the Immortal Gate evaluate it.


    But since the Precious Golden Light was soon to be greatly accomplished, he decided not to take such a risk.


    After all, the black cloth was thoroughly imbued with traces of the Tianhe Realm; it might expose clues to the Immortal Gate.


    Apart from practicing the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram and Precious Golden Light, Chen Mobai also guided his daughter in comprehending the Power of Void.


    Choosing to bleach Void Stones with the Void Blind Box was originally for his daughter.


    Yan Bingxuan has it, and naturally, Chen Xiaohei does as well.


    However, the cultivators on this side of the Immortal Gate seem to have always been impoverished. Although Chen Mobai stated that he still had ¡°some¡±, both Yan Bingxuan and Chen Xiaohei were extremely cautious when using Void Stones, fearing to waste even a shred of the Void Power.


    Beautiful times are always fleeting.


    After the holiday, Chen Mobai, now a rank four figure of the Hall of Orthodox Law, had to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Chen Xinglan even proposed that Shi Wanyu and Chen Xiaohei should go to the Imperial City with Chen Mobai.


    After all, it¡¯s not always good for a family to be separated for long.


    However, the Immortal Gate has a ¡®ten-year locality rule¡¯ for public servants.


    That is, after an official¡¯s transfer, they must serve at least ten years before they can be transferred again.


    Chen Xiaohei had just been transferred from Wangwu Cave Heaven; even now that Chen Mobai is of high rank and power, he could not breach this rule to transfer her back.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just stay here; after all, we need to look after mom and dad too.¡±


    Though Shi Wanyu also wanted to go with Chen Mobai, she did not want to part with her daughter. Moreover, considering her parents might only have a couple years left, she decided to stay in Yu Wood City.


    ¡°Then the matters at home will be hard on you.¡±


    While Chen Mobai regretted that the family couldn¡¯t go to Wangwu Cave Heaven, he also felt relieved.


    On the last day of the holiday, Chen Mobai took Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui back to Red Sandstone City.


    He also visited Chixia and Dan Zhu, two major academic institutions, because he would be spending a long time in Wangwu Cave Heaven, thus appointed two capable teachers as acting principals.


    After settling this matter, Yan Bingxuan who knew of his return came over.


    Both of them faced the morning glow at the top of Danxia Mountain and spent the remaining time of the holiday.


    After Yan Bingxuan left the mountain, Chen Mobai stood under a giant Biyu Wutong tree, testing out the outer Heaven and Earth functions of the Crown of Heaven and Earth in the dark of night.


    As he anticipated, strands of threads extended from various parts of the Immortal Gate and linked to his White Jade Crown.


    The end of the thread closest to him was none other than Yan Bingxuan, who had just walked down the mountain.


    During these days, he had also tried several times at the Immortal Gate.


    He discovered that every thread linked by the Crown of Heaven and Earth was connected to someone he knew.


    Before he joined the Hall of Orthodox Law, although there were quite a few threads from the Immortal Gate side, they were clearly visible.


    However, after the assembly, when he took over various positions of the Immortal Gate, the number of these threads exploded a hundredfold, nearly obfuscating the Crown of Heaven and Earth and turning it into a dense white fog.¡±¡±¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that this was because all the personnel related to his position at the Immortal Gate were connected.


    Although the speed of cultivation had not changed, Chen Mobai inexplicably felt the pressure on his heart increasing. It seemed that each additional thread added a little more weight to the Crown of Heaven and Earth. After multiplying by a hundred, every time he observed the heaven and earth externally, he felt his Divine Sense was being consumed intensely.


    In just half an hour, he felt his Divine Sense was completely exhausted.


    Chen Mobai could only discipline himself to observe only one thread at a time using the external view of heaven and earth, gradually finding some clues under the influence of the Guidance Book.


    The importance of these threads, he still did not know till now.


    But he knew that the closer the relationship and the more important they were, the brighter and thicker the threads.


    For example, his wife in name, Shi Wanyu, as the first legal heir to Chen Mobai. Under his observation, the thread linked to his Crown of Heaven and Earth was as thick as a finger and bright as the aurora.


    For his daughter, Chen Xiaohei, it was only one tenth of Shi Wanyu¡¯s.


    And for his parents, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui, perhaps because their lifespans were nearing their end, the threads were also large but like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly about to break any moment.


    Chen Mobai did not know whether having more of these threads was good or bad.


    However, he guessed that these might be the cause and effect inherent within the mortal coil.


    If he severed them all, according to the ancient texts from the Tianhe Realm, could he directly ascend in place?


    Unfortunately, within the Immortal Gate, they did not care about these superstitious things, and there were very few books about cause and effect and the mortal coil.


    However, Chen Mobai remembered Chen Chun whom he had met this time in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Back then, in the alleys of Red City Cave Heaven, she had said that fortune-telling was tying up cause and effect.


    The cultivation of The Divine Machine Mansion, an Antiquity Daoist System, involved the Tao of cause and effect.


    Should he consult her?


    Towards Chen Chun, Chen Mobai instinctively felt repelled, having been schemed against by her once.


    But now that he had recognized his daughter and was considered Daoist partners with Shi Wanyu, this matter could be overlooked.


    However, even if he was willing to consult, Chen Chun might not be willing to answer his doubts.


    And she was at the Gathering-Immortals Peak with the Leading Star Ancestor, so unless she came down, he had no way to meet her accidentally again.


    When he returned to Wangwu Cave Heaven, he should first check the information about The Divine Machine Mansion in the Sky-Mending Group.


    Chen Mobai thought in this way, seeing that it was still early before dawn, he simply returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Gu Yan, upon hearing of his ¡°exit from closed-door cultivation,¡± immediately rushed back.


    ¡°Has there been anything noteworthy recently in the sect or in the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    The Formless Puppet left by Chen Mobai here would only show up to meet someone if the outer Formation was disturbed; only for emergencies.


    ¡°Reporting to the Sect Leader, an alchemy anomaly occurred at Back to Sky Valley. Master Yan Shaoyin seems to have produced a high-grade elixir.¡±


    Since Yan Shaoyin was now the only one in the Eastern Wilderness that Chen Mobai needed to look after, he had specifically instructed Gu Yan to keep an eye on Back to Sky Valley when he left.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°He succeeded?¡± Chen Mobai was surprised that Yan Shaoyin could actually replace Tianhe Realm¡¯s materials to successfully create the Infant-Feeding Elixir, but immediately he smiled warmly, deciding to finally accelerate things, ¡°This batch of elixir will have half belonging to our Five Elements Sect, I will write a letter later, you personally deliver it to Back to Sky Valley.¡±


    After hearing this, Gu Yan immediately nodded.


    Besides this, she continued speaking, bringing good news.


    Liu Wenbo had returned from Dongwu earlier in the year, bringing the first successfully cultivated Heterodox Golden Core of Earth Attribute.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, then asked another question that concerned him: ¡°How is the Core Formation going for the other cultivators in the sect who have taken the Golden Liquid Jade Pill?¡±

 Chapter 1416 - Chapter 1416 Chapter 755 Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag

    Chapter 1416: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K) Chapter 1416: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K) There is good news and there is bad news.


    The good news is that Yue Zutao has succeeded in Core Formation and has also passed the Heavenly Tribulation. He is currently stabilizing his realm.


    Besides that, it¡¯s all bad news.


    Both Meng Hong and Xie Yuntian have failed.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a sorrowful expression.


    Meng Hong had refined a Heterodox Golden Core. Once the attempt to breakthrough with the Golden Core swap technique fails, without the Three Lights Divine Water and similar spiritual objects, death is inevitable.


    Thinking back to when the two first met, at that time Chen Mobai was just a common Foundation Establishment Practitioner, whereas Meng Hong was the Sect Leader. Even though there was a huge difference in their status, Meng Hong recognized his peerless talent at first glance¡­


    ¡°Sect Leader, although Brother Meng has failed in Core Formation, thanks to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and Elder Fu Zongjue¡¯s intervention, his life was saved.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s sorrow had just surfaced when he heard Gu Yan¡¯s words.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s very good¡­¡±


    While feeling relieved, Chen Mobai had not expected that the Golden Liquid Jade Pill could also counteract the deadly outcome of failing in Core Formation with a Heterodox Golden Core.


    It truly lives up to its reputation, being the masterpiece synthesized by an Alchemy Dao master after summarizing hundreds of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicines.


    Apart from aiding cultivators in Core Formation, the Golden Liquid Jade Pill also allows cultivators who have failed the process to keep their lives and preserve their Essence, Qi, and Spirit as much as possible, avoiding severe damage to their vital energy.


    If Meng Hong didn¡¯t die, there was even less to worry about Xie Yuntian.


    It was just a Core Formation failure, resulting in the loss of some vital energy.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to personally visit Meng Hong.


    Meng Hong attempted Core Formation at Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Longevity Wood Dojo and is still there now.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, Zhou Shengqing was also there. Only after asking did he learn that it was him, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, who had given a hand to Meng Hong. After Meng Hong¡¯s failure in Core Formation, he forcibly dispersed Meng Hong¡¯s spiritual power.


    Together with the remnants of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill¡¯s medicinal power, Meng Hong¡¯s life was barely saved.


    However, because Zhou Shengqing¡¯s presence needed to be concealed, it was publicly declared that it was Fu Zongjue who intervened.


    ¡°Cough cough, I am sorry to have disappointed you, Sect Leader¡­¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai come over, Meng Hong got up from the bed but started coughing with the effort.


    ¡°No need for formalities, just rest properly.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately moved to the bedside and took Meng Hong¡¯s pulse, only to find that many of his meridians were severed. The abundant spiritual power that once rivaled a Core Formation cultivator had now dissipated by ninety-nine percent. Only a small amount was silently lingering in his body.


    With his current situation, even if he recovered, advancing further would definitely be out of the question.


    ¡°Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Meng Hong, who shook his head with a wry smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m grateful that the Sect did not abandon me and gave me two opportunities to try Core Formation. Wasting a lot of resources, I hope in the coming decades I can utilize what remains of my abilities to guide the newly initiated disciples in their cultivation.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai shake his head.


    ¡°The resources for your Core Formation were earned through your own contributions over time; you don¡¯t need to worry about that. In the second half of your life, do whatever you wish.¡±


    At these words from Chen Mobai, Zhou Shengqing, who was nearby, also nodded slightly.


    Meng Hong was his direct disciple, and although his failure in Core Formation was deeply saddening, since he could live, he should embrace what life had to offer from now on.


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Sect Leader, thank you, Master!¡±


    Chen Mobai then inquired about Meng Hong¡¯s situation during Core Formation. In theory, using both a Heterodox Golden Core and the Golden Liquid Jade Pill should have brought the success rate of Core Formation up to fifty percent.


    The fundamental reason for failure resided in the incompatibility of the properties of the Heterodox Golden Core.


    While the attributes of wind and wood are related, the fit with the Longevity Scripture can¡¯t reach one hundred percent.


    Moreover, Meng Hong was a bit too old, and he had relied on numerous elixirs to raise his Cultivation Realm when he was young. Even though he tried to compensate for it over the years, it still impacted the success rate of Core Formation.


    This resulted in yet another near-success but ultimate failure.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only sigh again, then recorded all these experiences for future generations of disciples in the Five Elements Sect to consult.


    After ensuring Meng Hong rested properly, Chen Mobai had another chat with Zhou Shengqing outside.


    Soon, Fu Zongjue also arrived.


    Chen Mobai mentioned the matter of forcing Yan Shaoyin to attempt Core Formation. Both patted their hands in approval, as neither believed Yan Shaoyin would succeed.


    Finally, the matter of establishing the Five Elements Commerce Association was discussed. As Yue Zutao had successfully formed his core, he naturally became the prime candidate to preside over the Commerce Association.


    ¡°I have also had the idea for a while, but not as clear as yours, Junior Brother.¡±


    After listening, Zhou Shengqing also showed a look of approval.


    Resources in the Eastern Wilderness are still insufficient. If one wants to go further in the future, one still needs to head to the East Land at the center of the East Continent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For example, if Chen Mobai wanted to embark on Nascent Soul Formation, the elixirs like the Coagulation Infant Pill can only be obtained in the East Land.


    Although Yue Zutao is currently in seclusion to consolidate his realm, the arrangements for this matter can already be started.


    After all, the staff for the Five Elements Commerce Association will nominally be drawn from among the Five Elements Meridians, and it also requires the preparation of unique resources from the Eastern Wilderness to gradually tap into markets outside the Barren.


    Chen Mobai issued the orders in his name, conveying them throughout the various veins of the Five Elements Sect.


    However, he didn¡¯t insist on it, as the primary purpose of establishing this Commerce Association was to serve the elders of their Sect. Sometimes, they would prefer to operate at a loss to acquire the elixirs and resources they needed.

 Chapter 1417 - Chapter 1417 Chapter 755 Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag

    Chapter 1417: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_2 Chapter 1417: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_2 So whether the other four veins want to participate in the shares, it all depends on them.


    After discussing the draft of the Five Elements Commerce Association, Chen Mobai then asked Fu Zongjue if Little Azure Dragon was sent from the Earth Vein, and received an affirmative reply.


    The fact is, Zhou Ye now indeed sets his heart on Nascent Soul Formation; aside from that, everything else can be put aside!


    The remains of the Little Azure Dragon had been in his hands for nearly a hundred years, merely kept as a souvenir.


    Zhou Ye didn¡¯t believe that, after handing it over to the Wood Vein, the mere Rank-3 Puppet Master like Fu Zongjue could repair it.


    If the Wood Vein¡¯s development could be delayed by Little Azure Dragon, buying more time for his own Nascent Soul Formation, it would be a very worthwhile deal for Zhou Ye.


    ¡°The Perennial Wood Dragon truly lives up to being a Rank-4, to repair it might require hundreds of years given my ability.¡±


    However, Fu Zongjue indeed had genuine skills, plus he had plenty of precious Rank-4 Everlife Wood and a complete set of The Art of Longevity Puppetry¡¯s Rank-4 blueprints, he roughly figured out a method of repair, albeit a slower one.


    ¡°Senior brother should prioritize his cultivation and not delay too much time on Little Azure Dragon.¡±


    When the three parted ways, Chen Mobai offered a piece of advice. However, Fu Zongjue shook his head, indicating that he had no hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation in this lifetime, and would rather use his remaining more than two hundred years of lifespan to repair this highest puppet of the Five Elements Sect and leave a Rank-4 legacy for the sect.


    Chen Mobai could not say much more to that.


    After returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo, Chen Mobai found that his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, was already waiting.


    ¡°Master, this is a Heterodox Golden Core refined by Master Zhang from Dongwu.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed over a sealed jade box with both hands, Chen Mobai opened it and checked, finding the refining of this Heterodox Golden Core to be even better than the one done by Yan Shaoyin; truly worthy of an alchemist specialized in this field.


    ¡°Go inform Zheng Deming, as soon as he accumulates three hundred thousand sect contributions, I will let Spirit Treasure Pavilion list this Heterodox Golden Core.¡±


    Upon hearing these words from Chen Mobai, Liu Wenbo nodded gently.


    After slaying Du Feng, the two had maintained contact and were now considered good friends.


    Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, Chen Mobai finished the letter to Yan Shaoyin and asked Liu Wenbo if he had any problems with his cultivation.


    Indeed there were.


    Thanks to Fairy Peach Wine, Liu Wenbo had cultivated the Water-Wood techniques to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but was then stuck at a bottleneck and had failed to breakthrough in two attempts, so he sought advice from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If it were other Foundation Establishment practitioners, I would suggest them to use elixirs to break through the bottleneck, but since you are my disciple, I hope you can break through with your own bitter cultivation. That way, when you later consume the Golden Liquid Jade Pill coupled with the Dual Phase Technique, forming a Core is basically guaranteed.¡±


    Among Chen Mobai¡¯s four disciples, Liu Wenbo, the eldest disciple, had the most mediocre talent. If he now needed elixirs just for the bottleneck at the late phase of Foundation Establishment, then the probability of overcoming Core Formation later on would not be very high.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    The four disciples on the Tianhe Realm side were all very obedient.


    With Chen Mobai saying this, Liu Wenbo naturally did as instructed, and his heart was also filled with hope for forming his Nascent Soul in the future.


    Next, Chen Mobai used the Formless Puppet to help Liu Wenbo deduce a method on how to break through at the fastest speed.


    If he didn¡¯t rely on external forces like elixirs for breaking through, he would need to deepen his internal training, repeatedly cultivating and solidifying his foundation.


    After instructing, Chen Mobai then took some talisman paper and talisman ink produced by the puppet factory this year and handed them over to Liu Wenbo.


    After unifying the Eastern Wilderness, Little Nan Mountain Shop was now able to provide him with nearly three million Spirit Stones in revenue each year, the previous staple products of talisman paper and talisman ink now only accounted for about one-third.


    Chen Mobai planned to optimize further by upgrading Little Nan Mountain Shop into a Cultivation Supermarket with a full range of materials.


    Under his guiding ideology, Liu Wenbo had always been working towards this goal.


    And when the Five Elements Commerce Association later intends to open markets outside the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai plans to follow Little Nan Mountain Shop¡¯s method, starting by opening the low-end market with industrialized talisman paper and ink, stabilize the foothold, and then gradually upgrade to a supermarket.


    While the master and disciple were conversing, Wang Tingbo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, arrived.


    He had processed a Third-Order Demon Beast material that Chen Mobai had previously obtained in the ruins.


    Since Yue Zutao had successfully formed his core, and as his direct disciple, who will also be advancing into the markets outside the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai planned to give him an embryo of a Lifebound Magic Artifact as a reward.


    So these materials were needed.


    He examined Wang Tingbo¡¯s manual processing, which, though purely handmade, because it was a task commissioned by him, the Sect Leader, the Artifact Refining Department devoted utmost efforts. Coupled with the strong Divine Sense of the cultivator, it was almost as good as the machines used by the Immortal Gate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This saved Chen Mobai a lot of time.


    After receiving these Third-Order materials, Chen Mobai once again announced he was going into seclusion.


    When left with no one else around, he took out an Earth Veins Elixir and swallowed it, then after a moment, opened his eyes, took out a Spirit-Testing Instrument to check his Spiritual Root Value.


    [Gold 23, Wood 49, Water 39, Fire 99, Earth 73].


    Seeing the soaring value of his Earth Spirit Root, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.

 Chapter 1418 - Chapter 1418 Chapter 755 Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag

    Chapter 1418: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_3 Chapter 1418: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_3 After the second layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, he no longer had to worry about Dan Poison.


    Besides the Golden Crow¡¯s Sun Carrying Pill, he also took an Earth Veins Elixir every month, waiting until his Spiritual Root Value increased and was completely assimilated before continuing to take them.


    Of course, after each change in his Spiritual Roots, he would also habitually go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to acquire a Grand Spell from the Longevity Sect.


    The pill he took today was the fourth after his breakthrough with the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram.


    He could still take two more, and if these two could provide a 7-point increase in Earth Spirit Root, then aside from his Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he would also have a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.


    He wondered if there would be any bonuses when cultivating the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit then?


    However, this made Chen Mobai think of a possibility.


    If he brought Qing Nu over to this side in the future, could she also gain a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root by taking Earth Veins Elixir?


    Having seen the profound mystery of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, he felt it would be wonderful if Qing Nu could master it.


    That way, even if they really faced targeting from Lin Daoming or the Ascension Sect, they wouldn¡¯t need to be afraid.


    But upon further thought, he still shook his head.


    Because Qing Nu was of the Heavenly Water Spirit Root, the values of her other four attributes were extremely low, and even after taking nine Earth Veils Elixirs, without his kind of Fate with an Auspicious Blessing, at best, she might only increase her Earth Spirit Root by twenty to thirty points.


    Besides, besides Earth Spirit Root, she would also need to enhance her Wood Spirit Root.


    The thought of attaining a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root itself felt nearly impossible.


    Even he, with the vast resources of the Tianhe Realm, only had a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    But after returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai still called Qing Nu and asked her to download the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    Qing Nu was a bit confused, but still applied for the complete Divinity Transformation Technique at the Jumang Academy¡¯s library.


    At the Immortal Gate, they were relatively lenient with the inheritance of Cultivation Techniques.


    And besides, even if the Lasting Spring Cultivation was spread, the entry requirement of having a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root would make everyone despair.


    So Qing Nu¡¯s application, although strange, was still approved.


    However, because she applied for the original version left by the Changchun Ancestor, she needed to wait for the consent of the Peach Blossom Sage, the headmaster.


    Originally, Qing Nu had already exchanged for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and was ready to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Because of this, she could only delay for a few more days.


    Upon obtaining ten Water Spirit Pearls, Pei Qingshuang finally opened up the heart of Qing Shuang Sword, and although she had not yet reached the state of Clear Heart of Sword, she could finally sense the true nature of the Artifact Spirit.


    Thanks to this, her Qingxiao Sword Canon finally entered the crucial Core Formation chapter.


    After hearing the news, Peach Blossom Sage did not hesitate to protect and support Pei Qingshuang to start Core Formation.


    The outcome is not yet clear.


    However, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimation, Pei Qingshuang should be successful in forming her Core.


    After all, she had a deep foundation, plus a Nascent Soul Level mother like Peach Blossom Sage, she probably had other Core Formation resources besides the Jade Return Pill, and possibly even more than Chen Mobai.


    Of course, Chen Mobai hoped for Pei Qingshuang¡¯s successful Core Formation.


    After all, they were friends.


    For this, Qing Nu felt it was a bit of a delay, as she had obtained a photocopied version of Lasting Spring Cultivation and wanted to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven first, waiting to come back to her alma mater when Peach Blossom Sage was available.


    Yet Chen Mobai, in the waiting lounge at Red Sandstone City, granted Qing Nu another holiday, asking her to rest well at Jumang Academy, and only return after that matter was settled.


    The two also discussed Kong Feichen¡¯s response; he was also shocked about the possibility that Yang Jing might be the Ascension Sect Master¡¯s Immortal Sprout.


    However, since he was on a different external domain star from Yang Jing, to see her would require the intervention of a Great Ability from the Ascension Sect, using a powerful Magic Artifact to traverse.


    But he indicated in the email that when he last met Yang Jing, she seemed normal.


    This last meeting was twelve years ago, though.


    Kong Feichen said he would try to verify this matter, and if it turned out that Yang Jing was indeed body-snatched by the Ascension Sect Master, he would spend the rest of his life in regret.


    In the end, he spoke heroically, saying that if he died, please do not seek revenge for such a fool as himself and to have Qing Nu and Chen Mobai continue living well.


    After reading the forwarded email content, Chen Mobai became even more determined to have Qing Nu stay at Jumang Academy for now.


    ¡­


    After landing in Wangwu Cave Heaven on a flight, Chen Mobai went immediately to the Sky-Mending Group.


    First, he checked the information related to The Divine Machine Mansion.


    But because it involved Leading Star Ancestor, much of the content was lacking; it was merely a brief record of the origin of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    As one of the ancient Daoist Systems, it was known to be on friendly terms with the Immortal Gate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The expertise of this lineage was divining the mysteries of heaven, helping Cultivators make the right choices at life¡¯s crossroads.


    Aside from Leading Star Ancestor, the ancient Zhongli Ancestor was also advised by the master of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    Moreover, the Sky-Mending Group records revealed a very secretive matter related to The Divine Machine Mansion.


    A thousand years ago, the master of the True Sun Sect achieved Primordial Spirit in Zixiao Palace and is suspected to have been guided by Zhai Zhaoyi of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    After the Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate slew the master of the True Sun Sect, Zhai Zhaoyi also suddenly passed away in meditation mysteriously, and the leader of that generation¡¯s Sky-Mending Group suspected that Leading Star Ancestor might have personally acted, killing this nominally junior brother.

 Chapter 1419 - Chapter 1419 Chapter 755 Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag

    Chapter 1419: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_4 Chapter 1419: Chapter 755: Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag (7K)_4 Chen Mobai felt that he had heard the name Zhai Zhaoyi before.


    He immediately used his Guidance Book to search through his memories and soon discovered it was mentioned during his conversation with Ding Chundzhi about The Divine Machine Mansion back at the Astral Observation Academy.


    The current headmaster of the Astral Observation Academy, Meihua Superior, is nominally a disciple of Zhai Zhaoyi.


    However, Meihua Superior never acknowledged this, claiming to be a disciple of the Immortal Gate instead.


    At that time, Chen Mobai thought that Meihua Superior wanted to closely follow the Leading Star Ancestor. If the content recorded by the Sky-Mending Group is true, and if there is indeed something wrong with Zhai Zhaoyi, then he has taken the wrong path.


    If Chen Mobai were Meihua Superior, he wouldn¡¯t dare admit to being a disciple of Zhai Zhaoyi either!


    After noting down this part of the content, Chen Mobai started to look into the hidden information of the Antiquity Daoist System recorded in the Sky-Mending Group.


    This time he didn¡¯t have Lin Yin move it for him, but instead went directly to the third group and looked through it one by one.


    With the help of the Guidance Book, he swiftly stored all this information in his Fourth-grade Heavenly Calculation Bead. When needed, he could retrieve and consult it at any time.


    In the evening, he originally returned to his apartment planning to review the Antiquity Daoist System materials recorded during the day. However, Meng Huang suddenly called him.


    She asked if he was coming over tonight?


    Chen Mobai originally hadn¡¯t planned to go, but since she had asked, it would have been rude to refuse.


    Another night passed.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai started to become busy.


    After all, he had just taken over the Sky-Mending Group, and there were many things to coordinate and adjust, which took quite some time. Fortunately, Lan Haitian had previously organized everything effectively, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t intend to show off. He continued to follow the order established during Lan Haitian¡¯s management.


    After two to three months of adjustments, Chen Mobai, with the help of Lin Yin, finally managed to straighten out the affairs of the Sky-Mending Group.


    Then he again began governing effortlessly.


    He delegated most matters to Lin Yin, the deputy head, except for some issues that definitely required his attention, such as communicating with the Department of Law Enforcement and requesting funds from the financial department.


    Although Lin Yin was promoted to deputy head, he was only a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.


    These matters required the presence of Chen Mobai, the boss, for others to show respect.


    Even so, Chen Mobai finally had some free time of his own.


    These days, he had been immersed in the second group, which was the equipment group that possessed the most cutting-edge Artifact Refining equipment and workshops of the entire Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai directly commandeered the best one.


    Then he began to refine magic artifacts for Yin Qingmei, Luo Yixuan, and Yue Zutao.


    Conveniently there were three Third-Order Yin Void Bamboo available. With the state of Inner Observation conferred by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, it was easy for him to design nearly perfect Flying Sword blueprints according to the material properties.


    Next came the refining.


    While in the state of the Guidance Book, he progressively advanced the process of the Flying Sword, and finally after one and a half months, he refined the first ¡°Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian.¡±


    This sword was at the peak of the second grade, reserved for Luo Yixuan, to level up with her during her Core Formation, making it very easy to achieve Unity of Man and Sword, and also to assist the Cultivator in comprehending the Sword Dao Realm.


    As Yin Qingmei and Yue Zutao had already achieved Core Formation, Chen Mobai directly refined Third-Order ones for them.


    They might need to spend a decade or two to fully transform it into their Lifebound Flying Sword.


    In the ¡°Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian,¡± Chen Mobai fully utilized the material¡¯s properties and engraved a ¡°Sword Shadow Becomes Void¡± Technique.


    This technique allows each Sword Light slashed by this Flying Sword to be followed by an invisible shadow Sword Light.


    Although the accompanying shadow Sword Light only has half the strength of the real Sword Light.


    But if an opponent encounters this kind of technique for the first time and Divine Sense is slightly inattentive, it is very easy to be sneak attacked by this hidden Sword Shadow.


    After refining three ¡°Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian,¡± Chen Mobai took out the hides, Ox Horns, and other materials of the Third-Order Demonic Beasts.


    The ox horn, he thought for a moment, was carved into a horn.


    The rest of the hide was made into leather armor mantles, all engraved with a protective spell that would automatically be triggered when encountering a shock of foreign spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai crafted two sets of the leather armor.


    He planned to give one set to Yue Zutao, who was about to go beyond the Eastern Wilderness, and the other set to Liu Wenbo, his eldest disciple.


    Three fur mantles were prepared for Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei, and Luo Yixuan.


    In this way, that horn could be given to Jiang Zongheng. Not only could it boost morale, but it could also shake the qi and blood, helping cultivators in their Body Forging. If filled with spiritual power, it could even directly assault the opponent¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion with sound waves. It was considered Chen Mobai¡¯s most satisfying piece of work.


    After completing these Artifact Refining works, half a year had unconsciously gone by.


    If it were not for Qing Nu phoning him saying she would be back the day after tomorrow, he would probably still be immersed in it.


    ¡°You wait for me at Jumang Academy, I¡¯ll come to pick you up.¡±


    Long-term work in the underground Artifact Refining studio of the Sky-Mending Group had made Chen Mobai feel that he hadn¡¯t seen the sunlight in a long time, so he planned to take a trip outside.


    Just in time, Pei Qingshuang had successfully reached the Core Formation and could join him in attempting to utilize the Purple and Green Double Swords, jointly cultivating to extract the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy that would aid in Nascent Soul Formation.


    Chen Mobai was quite curious about this as well.


    After all, he had now reached the seventh layer of Core Formation and could begin preparing for the various resources related to Nascent Soul Formation.


    Upon hearing that he was coming to pick her up, Qing Nu immediately canceled the flight ticket she had just booked.


    Chen Mobai reported his travel plans at the Department of Law Enforcement, then had Lin Yin book a train ticket for him; he liked the leisurely feeling.


    On the night before his departure, he spent it with Meng Huang.


    In the secluded private room, Chen Mobai looked at the black cloth in his hand and slowly infused the Refining Treasure Golden Light he had recently mastered into it.


    This secret technique, from the heritage of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, had finally reached mastery after his decades of hard work.


    However, at this moment, his mood was very calm.


    Perhaps it was because of his age; his mentality had matured even more.


    As the Refining Treasure Golden Light covered the entire piece of black cloth, a flood of inexplicable information suddenly entered his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    After a long while, he looked at the black cloth on the table somewhat oddly.


    This was actually a fragment of a Fifth-Rank Magic Weapon.


    Named the ¡°Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag.¡±


    It was the Supreme Treasure of Fanhai Sect within the Hall of Ten Directions of the Eastern Emperor Court in the past, only to shatter during a clash with another equally powerful fifth-rank offensive Supreme Treasure.


    Chen Mobai was relieved that the Magic Weapon was broken; otherwise, if it had been a complete Fifth-Rank Magic Weapon, his Refining Treasure Golden Light might not necessarily have been able to refine it.


    But why did this fragment of the Magic Weapon fall into Yan Fusheng¡¯s hands?


    Chen Mobai wondered.


    He began to search through the knowledge within his Sea of Consciousness with the Guidance Book.


    Soon, he remembered that the inheritance of Liu Jia Mountain came from the Six Ding Six Jia Puppet Technique of the Eastern Emperor Court!

    Perhaps the ancestor of Liu Jia Mountain had obtained a bit of legacy after the disintegration of the Eastern Emperor Court.


    Then Chen Mobai searched within his own body of knowledge for content related to Fanhai Sect.


    Apart from the written records from the Five Elements Sect¡¯s scriptures, he also recalled the conversations he had when he clashed with Xuan Shu.


    The Fourth-grade Magical Weapon, the Golden Mirage Pearl that Xuan Shu possessed, was obtained from the ruins of Fanhai Sect.


    After Xuan Shu was slain by him, he left behind a blue token!

 Chapter 1420 - Chapter 1420 Chapter 756 Borrowing the Sword (7K)

    Chapter 1420: Chapter 756: Borrowing the Sword (7K) Chapter 1420: Chapter 756: Borrowing the Sword (7K) Xuan Shu had mentioned that it was in the Wandering Mountain of Dongyi where he entered the ruins of the Turning Sea Gate and obtained the Golden Mirage Pearl.


    It seems that when Yue Zutao sets up the Five Elements Commerce Association and leaves Eastern Desolation, he should pay special attention to this place.


    However, since Xuan Shu told him about it, obviously, the ruins of the Turning Sea Gate in Wandering Mountain must be a place known to everyone in Dongyi.


    Chen Mobai thought this as he took out a mineral containing Earth Spirit Qi, prepared for the practice of the ¡°Earth Gathering Art.¡±


    This is a technique from the Immortal Gate to enhance the Earth Spirit Root. After consuming nine Earth Veins Elixirs, Chen Mobai¡¯s Earth Spirit Root has precisely risen to 80 points.


    The coincidence must surely be due to the blessing of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun.


    After achieving the Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, Chen Mobai did not slack off and continued to bravely forge ahead, trying to raise his Earth Spirit Root to 100 points.


    Thus, he downloaded the Earth Gathering Art.


    Wen Ren Xuewei managed to elevate her Earth Spirit Root to 80 points by relying on Earth Veins Elixirs and the Earth Gathering Art.


    This Earth Gathering Art from the Immortal Gate is the most balanced and peaceful technique for enhancing Spirit Roots, consisting of forty-nine levels, each of which can increase the Earth Spirit Root by 2 points.


    During cultivation, one can absorb Earth Spirit Qi naturally or utilize various mineral Spirit Stones containing Earth Spirit Qi.


    The entry level of Earth Gathering Art is extremely simple; almost every cultivator can achieve it, but the difficulty increases with each level.


    For instance, the first level, even without resources, as long as one consistently meditates daily, it can generally be achieved within one year.


    The second level, on the other hand, takes two years; the third level, three years¡­


    Each level requires one more year than the previous one.


    This technique for enhancing Spiritual Roots does not focus on comprehension but on perseverance; it embodies the essence of moving mountains and the spirit of perseverance¨Cthis also is the essence of the Earth Element Great Dao.


    However, if one has sufficient mineral Spirit Stone resources, the time for cultivation can be halved.


    Most of the Spirit Root enhancement techniques of the Immortal Gate follow this pattern: simple at the beginning but increasingly difficult later. Thus, cultivators naturally endowed with high Spiritual Root Values can more easily advance to the level of Heavenly Spirit Root.


    Therefore, Immortal Gate cultivators generally only enhance their Spirit Roots to 80 points, as advancing further requires an enormous amount of effort and energy.


    It may take years or even decades to see an increase of 1 point.


    For this reason, those resources that can enhance Spiritual Root Values simply through consumption and refining are extremely precious.


    Among the many techniques for enhancing the Earth Spirit Root, Chen Mobai carefully selected the Earth Gathering Art because it allows the use of resources to speed up the process.


    After all, the Eastern Desolation Plateau has an abundance of various minerals with Earth attributes.


    Based on his current Earth Spirit Root of 80 points, he only needs to cultivate the Earth Gathering Art to the tenth level to reach the 100 points of the Immortal Earth Spiritual Root.


    Even without resources, he feels that he can afford the time investment of fifty-five years.


    However, Chen Mobai is quite clear-headed, still using only fragmented time for practicing the Earth Gathering Art. Previously, he used this time to practice the Precious Golden Light technique, which having perfected, he can now allocate to the Earth Gathering Art.


    The main time is still to be invested in the Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    On the train, relying on the Inner Observation provided by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he easily mastered the entry level of the Earth Gathering Art.


    Seeing the progress bar, now half a year away from completion due to the addition of the mineral condition, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reveal a satisfied smile.


    ¡­


    Although it has been nearly fifty years since he last visited Linwu Cave Haven, the fresh air here remains as ever, unchanged.


    Chen Mobai watched Qing Nu waiting for him at the train station and waved to her.


    At the thousands of mountains and rivers, Wen Ren Xuewei, dressed in a Fairy Qing Shan, was already by the lake.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect such a busy person like you to actually come in person?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei smiled and personally cast the water bridge technique, escorting Chen Mobai towards Wood God Island where the Great Chun Tree is located.


    Now Chen Mobai knows that this place is the core of Di Yuan Star, where all life of the earth originates.


    He glanced at Qing Nu next to him, not sure if it¡¯s an illusion or not, her naturally beautiful face seemed even more radiant here, her skin gleaming like jade, and her overall state surprisingly good.


    This could also be because she didn¡¯t need to worry about the matters of Sky-Mending Group or fear someone lurking in the dark, owing to the diminished pressure.


    However, regardless of the reason, Chen Mobai leans more towards believing what Yan Xinji said about Qing Nu having the Fetal Transformation Essence within her.


    ¡°Has Elder Sister Pei emerged yet?¡±


    Chen Mobai briefly discussed some matters about The Three Great Halls with Wen Ren Xuewei before inquiring about his main purpose for today.


    ¡°Knowing you were coming, the headmaster and Cui both emerged a day early and have been waiting for you.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai realized his current standing within the Immortal Gate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Which Golden Core Master could make a Nascent Soul Superior wait!


    ¡°Making Peach Blossom Sage wait long, I feel deeply ashamed.¡±


    But of course, on the surface, one mustn¡¯t appear proud and should remain humble.


    ¡°Here we are, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Upon reaching Wood God Island, it seemed to be class time; not many students were at the shore, but seeing Wen Ren Xuewei personally escorting someone, all their faces showed surprise.

 Chapter 1421 - Chapter 1421 Chapter 756 Borrowing a Sword (7K)_2

    Chapter 1421: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_2 Chapter 1421: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_2 When they saw Chen Mobai, realization dawned on their faces.


    Ah, it was him. No wonder!


    Facing everyone¡¯s gaze, Chen Mobai remained composed and followed Wen Ren Xuewei to the lake within the island where the Great Chun Tree was located, which was also the site of Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Core Formation.


    The Great Chun Tree absorbed the essence of Di Yuan Star and the spiritual essences from beyond the skies. Through a special method, it could release Spiritual Energy almost equivalent to the Sixth Rank.


    In the entire Immortal Gate, which is the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains where the two Huashen Ancestors reside, only here was the Spiritual Energy more abundant.


    Hearing that Pei Qingshuang was using near Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy for her Core Formation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh that his decades of struggle still didn¡¯t compare to the second-generation disciples of the Immortal Gate.


    On a branch of the Great Chun Tree facing north, a gorgeous flower blossomed. The charming Peach Blossom Sage stood there, seemingly even more beautiful and taller than Pei Qingshuang, waiting for him.


    After flying up with Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai first greeted the Peach Blossom Sage.


    ¡°Please have a seat. This time, Cui¡¯s successful Core Formation owes much to your Pearls. Without them, she might have needed another decade or more of hard work.¡±


    The Peach Blossom Sage nodded lightly, and as her sleeve, light as a feather, waved, a set of guest furniture appeared out of thin air on the flower pedestal.


    Everyone immediately took a seat, and Wen Ren Xuewei naturally took out her own tea set and tea leaves, beginning her exquisite tea ceremony.


    ¡°This visit mainly serves to bring Qing Nu back and, coincidentally, to congratulate Elder Sister Pei on her Core Formation.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai took out a box he had prepared earlier containing three Water Spirit Pearls, perfect for helping Pei Qingshuang strengthen her realm after her Core Formation.


    ¡°It¡¯s far too precious.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang examined the gift and shook her head slightly, pushing it back.


    She needed the Water Spirit Pearl to communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword for her Core Formation, but now that the Core Formation was accomplished, accepting such an expensive gift seemed excessive to her.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for formality between you and me. If Elder Sister Pei hadn¡¯t received me at the Mountain and Sea Academy back then, I might not have been able to obtain the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    If Pei Qingshuang refused the gift, it would be awkward for Chen Mobai to continue, so he pushed his congratulatory gift towards her again.


    ¡°With your exceptional talent, Brother Chen, even without me, you would have been destined to become the master of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang knew all too well Chen Mobai¡¯s talent in Sword Dao, a talent even she couldn¡¯t match and truly the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Cui, since Chen Council Member is offering, you should accept it.¡±


    Just as Pei Qingshuang was about to refuse again, the Peach Blossom Sage seemingly detected something and spoke directly.


    ¡°This¡­ well, then, thank you very much.¡±


    With her mother speaking up, Pei Qingshuang had no choice but to accept.


    At this moment, Wen Ren Xuewei had finished brewing the first pot of tea and gently reminded Chen Mobai, as she offered the tea to Peach Blossom Sage, that he had been promoted to a member of the Rotating Committee of Kaiyuan Hall since last year¡¯s conference.


    ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ve been busy supporting Cui¡¯s Core Formation this past year and haven¡¯t paid attention to such matters.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Peach Blossom Sage appeared enlightened and then changed her address to Councilor Chen, who promptly denied deserving the honor.


    ¡°It¡¯s sufficient for the Sage to call me ¡®Little Chen¡¯. This visit is mainly for two other matters that I wish to seek the assistance of the Sage and Elder Sister Pei.¡±


    Before the Nascent Soul Superior, Chen Mobai dared not presume and quickly stated his real purpose for coming after seeing Pei Qingshuang accept the three pearls.


    Firstly, he wished to have the Peach Blossom Sage help him refine some Appearance-fixing Pearls. He had quite a number of female cultivator friends in his Immortal Gate and Tianhe Realm, and he hoped they would remain beautiful and unmarred by the passage of time.


    The Peach Blossom Sage instantly agreed to this request, as for her, refining Appearance-fixing Pearls was not difficult.


    Chen Mobai then brought up the second matter.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this: after cultivating the Guidance Book, I used the Inner Observation ability and spent some time on the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book. It wasn¡¯t long before I completely understood its mysteries and learned how to use the Purple and Green Double Swords to draw and refine the energy of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance.¡±


    Upon hearing this, all four women present turned their attention to him.


    Among the Immortal Gate, the resources that could aid in Nascent Soul Formation were rare, and the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance was one of them. Furthermore, because only Qing Shi and Qing Jing sages had successfully cultivated it, the success rate to date was one hundred percent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You haven¡¯t cultivated the Zi Hua Sword Manual, and your current Cultivation Level might fall short, perhaps you won¡¯t be able to control the Purple Qinghagara!¡±


    Clearly, the Peach Blossom Sage also knew the workings of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance, her beautiful eyes glanced at Chen Mobai, her brows slightly furrowed as she spoke.


    ¡°The key to refining the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance lies in the Purple and Green Double Swords. Although I haven¡¯t cultivated the Zi Hua Sword Manual, I have achieved Clear Heart of Sword with the Purple Electric Sword, and as long as the Purple Electric Sword aids me with all its might, this will not be a problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already used Inner Observation to thoroughly analyze the Zi Hua Sword Manual and even reviewed the decrypted Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the Nature Studies Academy. He had a clear understanding of the process of drawing and refining the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance with the Purple and Green Double Swords.


    The reason that cultivation of the Zi Hua Sword Manual was specified was because having such a cultivator assisting meant the Purple Electric Sword would be under less stress during this process, possibly only needing to exert fifty to sixty percent effort to comfortably absorb the energy.

 Chapter 1422 - Chapter 1422 Chapter 756 Borrowing a Sword (7K)_3

    Chapter 1422: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_3 Chapter 1422: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_3 However, in reality, as long as Chen Mobai provides enough Spiritual Power, even if not as adept as the cultivators of the Zi Hua Sword Manual, the Purple Lightning Sword would still be of use to him; it¡¯s just that it cannot be lazy, needing to expend nearly eighty to ninety percent of its power, and go all out in order to draw in the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    Once the Peach Blossom Sage heard Chen Mobai speak of Clear Heart of Sword, she immediately understood.


    The Purple Lightning Sword was willing to give its all for this awe-inspiring Sword Cultivation Genius, which indeed, could be accomplished.


    But her daughter could not do it!


    ¡°Cui has just completed Core Formation, and although she can now listen to the true nature of the Qing Shuang Sword, reaching a Clear Heart of Sword, I¡¯m afraid, still requires a period of cultivation and integration.¡±


    The Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s words added glory to her own daughter; according to Pei Qingshuang¡¯s own estimates, it might not be until reaching the realm of Perfect Core Formation with the Qingxiao Sword Canon that she could possibly achieve this.


    ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve been holding you back.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang spoke somewhat sheepishly; when Chen Mobai first received the acceptance of the Purple Lightning Sword, she was extremely delighted.


    At that time, she believed she would certainly achieve Core Formation decades before Chen Mobai, and then with the latter¡¯s Qualification of Deification, this gap of decades would surely be bridged before the Nascent Soul Formation milestone, allowing both of them as Perfect Core Formation cultivators, to ideally join swords and draw in and refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    But who knew this idea was upside down from the start.


    She underestimated Chen Mobai¡¯s Qualification of Deification; when it came to the hurdle of Core Formation, he simply waded through on talent, leaving her decades behind until she finally achieved Core Formation.


    And now, Chen Mobai was almost at the Core Formation Late Stage, increasing the gap between them even more.


    ¡°It¡¯s not really a big deal, Cui. Now that you have achieved Core Formation, the inherited talent and Divine Skills will begin to awaken gradually. One day you will eventually catch up to Little Chen, and then both of you can join swords. It¡¯s not too late.¡±


    The Peach Blossom Sage said, already conceding that the Purple Qinghagara could not be accomplished now.


    Upon hearing her words, Chen Mobai took another careful look at Pei Qingshuang and found that after Core Formation, she seemed to have grown taller, making her already slender figure even more graceful. He estimated that she was almost as tall as him.


    Moreover, what used to be a more heroic face, after Core Formation, began to soften; the features remained the same, yet now they looked symmetrical and perfect.


    It was as if she had blossomed.


    Was this the influence of paternal genes or maternal genes?


    Who exactly was Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father?


    A flurry of questions flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, but he did not forget the real purpose of his visit.


    ¡°That¡¯s the situation. I intend to borrow Senior Sister Pei¡¯s Qing Shuang Sword to see if I can also achieve a Clear Heart of Sword with it. This way, I alone could join the two swords, and execute the Purple Qinghagara.¡±


    Upon his declaration, Wen Ren Xuewei elegantly paused her tea art, opened her mouth wide, and looked up at him.


    The other three ladies had the same expression, all in utter shock.


    ¡°You, want to achieve a Clear Heart of Sword with the Qing Shuang Sword too?¡±


    The Peach Blossom Sage doubted if she heard correctly.


    Within the Immortal Gate, no matter how dazzling a Sword Cultivation Genius, there has never been a case of achieving a Clear Heart of Sword with two powerful Sword Artifacts.


    After all, the Way of the Sword Cultivation also stresses purity and singularity.


    One person, one sword, loyal and true!


    Chen Mobai had already achieved a Clear Heart of Sword with the Purple Lightning Sword; would the latter be willing to share him, its nearly perfect master, with the Qing Shuang Sword?


    That would be like a man who has taken a wife and then wants to marry another.


    Even if the second wife is a close sister to the first!


    It would be absolutely impossible!


    ¡°I plan to try it out. If I can do it, I might be able to shorten the time it takes to condense Pure Yang True Qi and anticipate reaching Perfect Core Formation within a hundred years.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the truth; generally speaking, only with Perfect Core Formation can one begin to refine Spiritual Power into higher-level True Qi.


    However, Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy can shorten this process; it hovers above the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Firmament, almost Innate pure and unsullied energy of the Two-yi Qi, that can be transformed into any postnatal True Qi, and also benefits the nurturing and cultivation of the Nascent Soul.


    Chen Mobai even felt that the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy would be effective for enhancing Primordial True Qi.


    For this reason, he thickened his face to come and borrow the sword.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    As the Peach Blossom Sage was about to voice her refusal, Pei Qingshuang thought that she had just completed Core Formation and would need quite some time to consolidate her realm; lending the sword was not out of the question.


    ¡°I will ask the Qing Shuang Sword about this matter. If it has no objections, I can lend it.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As soon as Pei Qingshuang said this, the Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s frown deepened, but after thinking about Chen Mobai¡¯s frightening talent, she knew that the young man before her would surely be a peer in the future; thus, she swallowed her words of objection.


    Moreover, the Dance Instruments and Jumang lineages had thousands of years of friendship, and Ancestor Baiguang was still alive; even considering the two sects¡¯ history, it could be seen as an investment in the future.


    After all, success was improbable. When Chen Mobai fails to communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword, he will naturally return it.


    In the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai was a person of status and fame; there was no fear he would not return it.


    Also, the Qing Shuang Sword Spirit is very proud; even after hundreds of years of daily companionship with Pei Qingshuang, it had barely let down its guard. The Peach Blossom Sage did not believe it would want to leave its daughter of a hundred years to reside in the hands of a strange man for several years.

 Chapter 1423 - Chapter 1423 Chapter 756 Borrowing a Sword (7K)_4

    Chapter 1423: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_4 Chapter 1423: Chapter 756: Borrowing a Sword (7K)_4 Upon thinking of this, the Peach Blossom Sage calmed down and passed the empty teacup in her hand to Wen Ren Xuewei, asking her to pour another cup.


    ¡°The Qing Shuang Sword mentioned that it wanted to communicate with the Purple Electric Sword¡­¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang had finished communicating with her Sword Artifact, and with a flick of her finger, the sword at her waist was already unsheathed and flying into mid-air.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai also smiled lightly and, with a thought, his domain opened up, and the Purple Electric Sword, wrapped in intense Spiritual Light, emerged from within.


    [Go and communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword. You know the treatment on my side; as long as it¡¯s willing to come over and absorb the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy with you, I am willing to give out a Top-grade Spirit Stone for each strand. If there¡¯s an emergency situation that requires it to act, I¡¯m willing to add more Spirit Stones, starting with one Top-grade Spirit Stone!]


    Chen Mobai reached out to support the Purple Electric Sword, which was about to leap out and catch up with the Qing Shuang Sword, and mentioned the rough treatment his side offered.


    [Master, your Spiritual Power doesn¡¯t match us two, and if we were to condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, even if Little Qing and I fully cooperate, we might not succeed.]


    The Purple Electric Sword first told the truth, as the last time they both condensed Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy was in the hands of the Nascent Soul Superiors Qing Shi and Qing Jing.


    Now, it¡¯s changed to Chen Mobai, a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll, and they don¡¯t know if they can succeed.


    [For every condensation of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, I will offer two Top-grade Spirit Stones, one for each of you swords!]


    [This¡­]


    The Purple Electric Sword was quite moved by Chen Mobai¡¯s increase in payment.


    [If you two succeed in condensing it, in addition to the two Top-grade Spirit Stones, I will privately provide you with an extra Top-grade Spirit Stone.]


    Hearing this, the Purple Electric Sword was completely unable to resist.


    In this case, if it and the Qing Shuang Sword jointly condensed a strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, it would receive two Top-grade Spirit Stones, while Qing Shuang Sword would only get one.


    It was the first time it ever encountered such an offer through its Clear Heart of Sword experience.


    This differential treatment made the naive sword feel it had completely surpassed the Qing Shuang Sword.


    [Master, rest assured, leave it to me!]


    The Purple Electric Sword shot out from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand with a swish, shining like a splendid bolt of lightning, which caused all four women to glance sideways.


    They felt this was a sign of an extremely tacit understanding between a Sword Artifact and its master.


    [The Qing Shuang Sword should refuse, right?]


    Peach Blossom Sage thought to herself, and as the Purple and Green Double Swords communicated, Chen Mobai also took out a small bag of Water Spirit Pearls.


    These were what he wanted the Peach Blossom Sage to help refine into Appearance-fixing Pearls.


    ¡°Little Chen, what exactly did you open in the Void Blind Box that got you such high-quality pearls? Even in the Sea Territory, these are rare.¡±


    As the Peach Blossom Sage spoke, she gently opened the bag and trembled slightly when she saw the quantity inside.


    There were twenty in total!


    ¡°I got a scoop, but in the Immortal Gate these are quite precious, so to avoid trouble after outsiders find out, I¡¯ve claimed that only a few were found.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s status was different now, he could protect these items, and with the Peach Blossom Sage and Pei Qingshuang benefiting from the pearls as well, he brought out so many in front of them.


    However, the main reason was that there were quite a few close female cultivators around him, and he also planned to use these Appearance-fixing Pearls to make a breakthrough for the Five Elements Commerce Association in the East Land, so he took out twenty at once.


    ¡°Fortunately, the refinement of Appearance-fixing Pearls can be done together in the Medicine Pool, otherwise I might not have been willing to help you with so many.¡±


    This time, the Peach Blossom Sage also calmed down, after all, being a Nascent Soul Superior, these twenty pearls, although precious, were just worth several billion Good Deed Points to her.


    It had been hundreds of years since such a precious deal had been encountered, thus the initial shock.


    ¡°Thank you, Superior, for being willing to help. Once the Appearance-fixing Pearls are refined, each of you, Superior, Elder Sister Pei, and Senior Wenren will take one. This is also a small token of my appreciation.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caught Ren Xuewei, who was making tea, by surprise.


    She didn¡¯t expect that there was a share for her as well.


    The same was true for Pei Qingshuang. She once had one, but she used it to communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword; even though she could still recharge it, no one would think they have had too much of such a thing.


    ¡°Little Chen, you are such a sensible child. For Cheng Xuan to have you as its successor, truly is a fortune of three lifetimes!¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage listened and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Apart from the three pearls as compensation, Chen Mobai had previously given four pearls to Pei Qingshuang, which amounted to seven hundred million Good Deed Points. Even if she were asked to refine a Rank-5 Elixir of Spiritual Water, that would be the price.


    However, the most important thing was that the pearls provided by Chen Mobai had successfully helped Pei Qingshuang in her Core Formation.


    Given this favor, even if she offered her help for free, she would do it.


    And just at this moment, two streaks of Sword Light, one purple and one green, descended from the sky. After circling around Chen Mobai and emitting clear chirps, they floated beside him, one to the left and one to the right.


    Seeing this scene, Pei Qingshuang felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.


    Indeed, was it because her talent in Sword Dao was not enough? Given Chen Mobai¡¯s qualification for Divinity Transformation, even the proud Qing Shuang Sword was willing to submit.


    ¡°It seems that the Qing Shuang Sword has agreed. Elder Sister Pei, do you need to communicate with it again to confirm?¡±


    Chen Mobai witnessed the scene and communicated with the Purple Electric Sword with his Heart and Mind. He knew it had successfully won the sword over and felt somewhat embarrassed as he spoke to Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°No need. In the next few years, I hope Chen Junior will take good care of it!¡±


    As she spoke, Pei Qingshuang took off the scabbard from her waist and handed it to Chen Mobai reluctantly.


    She had custom-made it specifically for the Qing Shuang Sword, using branches shed by the Peach Blossom Sage, which were Rank-4 Spirit Wood.


    After taking it, Chen Mobai kept expressing his thanks to Pei Qingshuang.


    Then, he first sent the Purple Electric Sword back to his Golden Core Domain, then with one hand holding Pei Qingshuang¡¯s scabbard, he reached for the Qing Shuang Sword on his left side.


    As all four women watched with widened eyes in disbelief, the always proud Qing Shuang Sword struggled for a moment before allowing Chen Mobai to grasp it.


    With a clanging sound, the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact was inserted back into its scabbard by Chen Mobai, following the path of the Purple Electric Sword into Chen Mobai¡¯s Domain.


    Pei Qingshuang saw the Sword Artifact leave without even saying goodbye to her, and felt even more dejected.


    She felt that she might not be suitable for the Qing Shuang Sword and wondered if she had held back this powerful Sword Artifact during the hundred years it had been in her possession.


    While she was lost in her thoughts, Chen Mobai, having achieved his purpose, already bid them farewell.


    ¡°Are you in such a hurry? Why not wait until the Appearance-fixing Pearls are finished?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this time, Peach Blossom Sage had already accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishing talent in Sword Dao, and her tone was warmer than at the beginning.


    ¡°I have a lot of duties to attend to, and since I hold several positions in Wangwu Cave Heaven, chaos would ensue if I am away for too long.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave an excuse, when in reality he only needed to take care of the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s affairs. The Weapon Dancing Sect in Wangwu Cave Heaven was full of astute individuals who could manage everything without him.


    Moreover, with Lin Yin in the Sky-Mending Group, there was even less need for him to be busy.


    Qing Nu heard this and her face lit up with joy. She had been packed and ready to leave with Chen Mobai for some time.

 Chapter 1424 - Chapter 1424 Chapter 757 Lin Daoming Defects (7K)

    Chapter 1424: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming Defects (7K) Chapter 1424: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming Defects (7K) Although Chen Mobai bid farewell, under warm insistence, he stayed for one more night.


    After all, Qing Nu needed time to study the original copy of the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    The next morning, Wen Ren Xuewei personally accompanied him and Qing Nu to the train station.


    Inside the compartment, Chen Mobai looked at the six tubes of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a satisfied smile.


    Originally he had exchanged for five tubes, but at the last moment, Peach Blossom Sage gifted one more. Chen Mobai declined twice but eventually accepted it.


    After all, for him, a member of the Five Elements Sect, this item was extremely beneficial.


    Speaking of nothing else, just the Immortal Peach Tree.


    Although he had already consumed its fruit, the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit was useless to him, but it could be given to other Golden Core Cultivators within his sect, or even be used as goods for trade through the Five Elements Commerce Association outside the Eastern Wilderness in exchange for elixirs useful for cultivators in the late stage of Core Formation.


    After safely storing the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu began to enjoy the scenery outside the window.


    Although Qing Nu did not understand his fondness for the leisurely pace of trains, to her, simply being with him was all that mattered.


    ¡°Lasting Spring Cultivation is indeed profound and vast; I¡¯m sure I can¡¯t cultivate it.¡±


    Their conversation naturally shifted to this famous Divinity Transformation Technique of the Immortal Gate.


    Besides studying the original Lasting Spring Cultivation scripture, Qing Nu also brought a photocopied copy. Chen Mobai took it and couldn¡¯t help but admire Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s extraordinary talent and determination.


    Indeed, she was the true bearer of the Qualification of Deification in this era of the Immortal Gate, only overshadowed and suppressed by the dazzling presence of him.


    Apart from the entry requirement of possessing a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root for Lasting Spring Cultivation, the subsequent cultivation process also tested one¡¯s patience immensely.


    As it required constant interaction with the Great Chun Tree, and since this top-grade Spirit Plant of the Immortal Gate was of a very high grade, to Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s consciousness, it was like an ant. Although the pact of the Lasting Spring Cultivation prevented her from being crushed, the feeling of a mayfly shaking a tree constantly assaulted her, and if her spirit wasn¡¯t resolute, she could get lost amidst the vast, starry sea-like mighty force of the Great Chun Tree.


    As long as Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s realm didn¡¯t surpass that of the Great Chun Tree, she would continue to face this assault.


    After lamenting the arduous path of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, Chen Mobai felt it was better for Qing Nu to focus on cultivation techniques related to her Water Attribute.


    ¡°You joined the Sky-Mending Group earlier; after ten years, I¡¯ll see if I can apply for a Golden Liquid Jade Pill for you in advance.¡±


    As they spoke, the topic shifted to Qing Nu forming her core.


    The Sky-Mending Group, as a department directly under the Righteous Law Hall Master within the Immortal Gate, has the power for the head to designate scholars within the group to exchange for Golden Liquid Jade Pills after fulfilling a sixty-year work period.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s direct follower and best friend in the Sky-Mending Group, she was definitely on the list.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Qing Nu responded sweetly after hearing this.


    Half a day later, the train stopped at a place named Southfield City.


    According to the timetable, they had a half-hour stop here.


    Seeing there was still time, Chen Mobai decided to take Qing Nu for a walk.


    This place was renowned for Nantian Jade, which, when infused with Spiritual Power, could emit a chime-like sound beneficial for cultivators in cultivating their Divine Sense.


    Around the station, there were many shops selling such jade.


    However, the high-grade Nantian Jade Ore had long been taken over by the Immortal Gate, leaving only Rank-1 and Rank-2 jades for public trading.


    Eagerly, Qing Nu began selecting among them, besides the carved jade pieces, many shops even offered blocks of jade ore, all priced expensively.


    Many passengers who disembarked were using their Divine Sense to inspect the jade ores.


    But since Nantian Jade naturally absorbs Divine Sense, many cultivators were just looking and didn¡¯t plan to gamble on the stones. Most, like Qing Nu, were simply choosing finished jade pieces.


    With his Void Spirit Eye activated, Chen Mobai walked past all the shops, having looked through all the jade ores.


    He found a few pieces of decent quality, considered top-grade within Rank-1, and some even had variations that reached Rank-2 internally.


    Regardless of the cultivator¡¯s realm, picking up bargains was always naturally interesting.


    Chen Mobai approached a block of jade ore with the highest internal quality, inquired about the price, and directly paid 130,000 Good Deed Points to purchase it.


    The shopkeeper asked if he needed help cutting it open, but Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Since the jade ore was only about the size of two fists, it was easy to carry; Chen Mobai had the shop pack it in a bag and carried it away directly.


    Displaying his Gold Core True Person¡¯s identity in public, revealing his Domain, wasn¡¯t his style.

    Meanwhile, when he was purchasing the jade ore, Qing Nu also selected a beautiful Jade Bracelet in the shop and put it on her snow-white wrist.


    Under the sunlight, the simple Jade Bracelet emitted a faint green glow; each movement of Qing Nu¡¯s left hand caused the bracelet to produce a delicate, pleasing sound.


    Qing Nu obviously loved it, but glancing at the price tag of 88,000, she felt it was a bit expensive and reluctantly took it off.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai was about to ask the owner to pack up the bracelet as well when he suddenly frowned and turned his attention to a corner of the shop¡¯s surveillance monitor.


    Unnoticed before, amidst the screens¡¯ static, an image of Yan Xinji¡¯s back suddenly appeared.

 Chapter 1425 - Chapter 1425 Chapter 757 Lin Daomings Defection (7K)_2

    Chapter 1425: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_2 Chapter 1425: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_2 Chen Mobai noticed Qing Nu was still selecting other jade pieces and silently approached the monitor. But at that moment, the surveillance footage suddenly returned to normal.


    [Your actions are a bit slow, aren¡¯t they?]


    Just then, an electronic voice suddenly came to Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. He looked up at a jade puppet beside the monitor.


    With the Void Spirit Eye opened, he saw the extremely exquisite and complex structure inside the jade puppet.


    This turned out to be a Puppet too.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and did not confront Yan Xinji outright, but instead said,


    ¡°Qing Nu is by my side, I will protect her.¡±


    As he spoke, he waved his hand and set up a sound-proof Restriction to avoid being overheard by others in the store.


    [I admit that you might become the strongest Cultivator of the Immortal Gate in the future, but what can you use to protect her from Lin Daoming right now?]


    The electronic voice of Yan Xinji¡¯s Puppet was transmitted directly to Chen Mobai¡¯s ears, audible only to him.


    ¡°Is this not the Immortal Gate! Would Lin Daoming dare to make a move here?¡±


    Chen Mobai had always held the Rules and Laws of the Immortal Gate in awe, and after learning about the Fruit of Dao¡¯s Rule, he felt this even more strongly.


    Not to mention that Lin Daoming had already retired. Even if he was still the Head of Immortal Affairs, he would not dare violate the rules laid down by generations of Immortal Gates¡¯ Divinity Transformations.


    [Today Lin Daoming is returning from his hometown Jinting Mountain to Wangwu Cave Heaven. He will have a layover in Southfield City and take the same train as you.]


    But at this moment, Yan Xinji said something that made Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils dilate in shock.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite a coincidence?¡±


    [Take the Big Transfer Talisman with you. It¡¯s not too late to send Qing Nu away now. If you get on the same train as him, do you think you can protect Qing Nu from the hands of that Nascent Soul Cultivator?]


    Yan Xinji¡¯s words left Chen Mobai in silence.


    Although he was full of confidence in the Immortal Gate rules here, he certainly did not want to gamble with Qing Nu¡¯s safety.


    He always liked to eliminate dangers ahead of time.


    But to send Qing Nu away¡­


    With this thought, Chen Mobai took out a shimmering silver Talisman from his Domain. It was the very Big Transfer Talisman that Yan Xinji had told him about.


    However, he didn¡¯t trust Yan Xinji very much, and coupled with his belief that he could protect Qing Nu within the Immortal Gate, he had been holding onto it all this time.


    [I¡¯ll wait outside the Heavenly Curtain of Di Yuan Star. This is your last chance to send Qing Nu away from Lin Daoming¡¯s clutches.]


    After saying this, the jade Puppet suddenly dimmed.


    With the Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai observed that this happened because the Spiritual Energy stored inside was exhausted. However, just to be safe, he extended a hand towards the jade Puppet and infused it with Pure Yang Spiritual Power, completely destroying all the Puppet structures inside.


    ¡°Help me take a look, which of these bracelets looks good?¡±


    Right after doing all this, Qing Nu, with a string of Jade Bracelets on her wrist, waved at Chen Mobai, lifting her left hand¨Cshowing him the bracelets clinking melodiously, making her even more delicate and charming.


    ¡°Why not the one from before?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the Emerald Green Jade Bracelet Qing Nu had first set her eyes on in the store, which had an asking price of eighty-eight thousand, then called over the shop owner and pointed at it to indicate packaging it as well.


    ¡°That¡¯s too expensive¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it; consider it a reward for helping me close the deal for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and paid with Good Deed Points. Seeing this, although Qing Nu still protested verbally, her face and eyes were filled with laughter, and she radiated happiness as if she were a blooming Fresh Flower.


    After that, Chen Mobai went to a few other stores and purchased all the best-quality Jade Ore.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time; the train is about to leave.¡±


    Qing Nu looked at the time, which was five minutes away, and reminded Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I want to stay here for a night today and open up these purchased Jade Ores.¡±


    But Chen Mobai suddenly said so, and although Qing Nu looked puzzled, she had no objections. After all, nothing else mattered as long as she was with Chen Mobai.


    In a secluded area, Chen Mobai waved his hand and sent all the purchased Jade Ores into his Domain.


    Afterward, he and Qing Nu took a taxi and headed into the city.


    Meanwhile, Lin Daoming was at the train station, changing to the private train carriage originally intended for Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    And when the train departed, Lin Daoming¡¯s brow suddenly furrowed.


    He took out a Jade Cloud Dragon statue and asked it curiously.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°That damn brat, so cautious. If you don¡¯t drink the toast, you end up drinking a penalty. Forcing me to act personally!¡±


    The voice of Yan Xinji emerged electronically from the Jade Cloud Dragon.


    Then, under the bewildered gaze of Lin Daoming, the Jade Cloud Dragon gleamed with a pure, rich Spiritual Light and in an instant flew out the window, heading towards Southfield City.


    Lin Daoming was rather surprised. Having known Yan Xinji for many years, it was the first time he saw him lose his composure like this.


    Having retired for more than half a year, Lin Daoming had sorted out all his affairs on the side of Immortal Gate and tied up all loose ends in his hometown Jinting Mountain. Following the itinerary arranged by Yan Xinji, he was planning to disembark in the city of Dawo after Southfield City.

 Chapter 1426 - Chapter 1426 757 Chapter Lin Daomings Defection (7K)_3

    Chapter 1426: 757 Chapter: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_3 Chapter 1426: 757 Chapter: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_3 Yan Xinji left a Big Transfer Talisman there, which Lin Daoming could take and leave Immortal Gate directly.


    However, Lin Daoming did not anticipate that his journey would become part of Yan Xinji¡¯s plan to scheme against Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    But what Yan Xinji hadn¡¯t expected was that even under the imminent threat of Nascent Soul Cultivators, Chen Mobai still did not lose his composure.


    Not only did he not follow Yan Xinji¡¯s plan to send Qing Nu to him with the Big Transfer Talisman, he even gave up the train and planned to avoid Lin Daoming.


    After this exposure, Yan Xinji knew that such good opportunities would probably not come by again in the future.


    After all, once Lin Daoming left Immortal Gate, he wouldn¡¯t be able to scare Chen Mobai with this tiger¡¯s skin anymore.


    And if that were the case, Chen Mobai would be even more fearless, surely believing he had the capability and power to protect Qing Nu, and would never send her into his own hands.


    This was Yan Xinji¡¯s last chance to take Qing Nu away.


    Seeing Chen Mobai not fall for the trick, Yan Xinji could not care about anything else and directly activated the powerful Puppet he had left in Lin Daoming¡¯s possession to force his hand.


    ¡°I have something to do. You go directly to Dawo City and wait for me. I will surely arrive by the time the train stops.¡±


    Yan Xinji¡¯s words still lingered in Lin Daoming¡¯s ears while the Jade Cloud Dragon soared into the sky, speeding away with a concealed trail.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right!¡±


    Lin Daoming, after hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly.


    He had managed the Xianwu Hall for nearly five hundred years and had gone through all kinds of overt and covert strife, quickly realizing there was a problem from Yan Xinji¡¯s lack of composure.


    After pondering for a while, his figure flashed with a silver glow and he too disappeared within the cabin.


    ¡­


    In Southfield City, after Chen Mobai and Qing Nu got off the train and were about to find a hotel to stay at, the wind suddenly picked up, and clouds started forming in the sky, from which a gigantic claw emerged and reached for Qing Nu.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and his expression changed dramatically, but his natural combat instincts allowed him to bring out his strongest abilities in a flash.


    Amidst the opening of the void, the Purple Electric Sword thundered like lightning, bursting forth with dazzling purple brilliance to collide with the descending dragon claw.


    ¡°Yan Xinji, how bold of you to take action in Immortal Gate territory!¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could speak, an exasperated voice had already risen from afar, followed by a surge of golden yellow True Qi shining up in the distant sky. It blocked the Jade Dragon¡¯s claw while also enveloping the Purple Lightning Sword.


    This heavy True Qi caused Chen Mobai to feel an overwhelming strength he couldn¡¯t contend with for the first time!


    The Fourth Grade Superior Purple Electric Sword, engulfed in the golden yellow True Qi, was like it had sunk into a quagmire, struggling violently but unable to break free.


    ¡°Lin Daoming!¡±


    Instantly, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind recognized who was taking action. Only this former Head of Immortal Affairs, a Great Cultivator at Nascent Soul Complete, could suppress him in an instant.


    However, doubts quickly came to him.


    Wasn¡¯t Lin Daoming the greatest enemy?


    Why would he take action to help him?


    But soon, Chen Mobai realized he must have been deceived by Yan Xinji.


    Fortunately, he was cautious; otherwise, if he had really sent Qing Nu to Yan Xinji, he might have regretted it for a lifetime like Kong Feichen did.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai understood that Yan Xinji must have been the one behind Kong Feichen being lured away from Immortal Gate with Yang Jing. Such despicable tactics were exactly the same.


    [Thank goodness I¡¯m not as brainless as Kong Feichen!]


    As Chen Mobai thought this, he saw the people of Southfield City with their phones, capturing the fantastical scene in the sky.


    A Jade White Dragon, half-concealed in the clouds, barely visible, and a majestic figure enveloped in golden radiance.


    ¡°I am a Cultivator from the Department of Law Enforcement, the one in the sky is a wanted criminal by Immortal Gate. Everyone find somewhere to hide!¡±


    Seeing their fearless actions, Chen Mobai immediately spoke out, telling them the seriousness of the situation.


    His words caused many to change color and quickly disperse.


    But there were also some young people who, showing looks of amazement, got even more excited.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t care about them anymore and took out his phone to launch a highest-level distress signal from the Sky-Mending Group.


    ¡°This girl has your Fetal Transformation Essence from the past. If you want to undergo the Divinity Transformation, you must take her away!¡±


    It was at this moment that Yan Xinji also explained to Lin Daoming the origins of Qing Nu. Originally determined not to let Yan Xinji start trouble within Immortal Gate territory, Lin Daoming¡¯s face changed abruptly at the mention of Fetal Transformation Essence!


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who said the experimentation failed, and that no Immortal Sprout could withstand the Fetal Transformation Essence!?¡±


    ¡°I hid some truth; she is the only successful one!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Xinji was somewhat anxious as well. Taking action within Immortal Gate¡¯s territory, particularly against Chen Mobai, who is almost the core candidate for Qualification of Deification, if he didn¡¯t resolve this within minutes, it would likely lead to complications.


    So seeing Lin Daoming unwilling to step aside, he had no choice but to reveal the true situation.


    ¡°How much have you actually kept from me, you bastard!¡±


    Lin Daoming¡¯s face was filled with anger, but at this moment, Yan Xinji pointed towards the direction of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains!


    If the Huashen Ancestor became aware of this situation, he would be able to perform Great Void Transference and directly come here.

 Chapter 1427 - Chapter 1427 Chapter 757 Lin Daomings Defection (7K)_4

    Chapter 1427: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_4 Chapter 1427: Chapter 757: Lin Daoming¡¯s Defection (7K)_4 Lin Daoming knew very well that Chen Mobai¡¯s identity was significant enough to potentially prompt Ancestor Baiguang to take action himself.


    ¡°How do we make our escape after seizing the Immortal Sprout?¡±


    Lin Daoming raised the most crucial question, to which Yan Xinji responded by spitting out a talisman. Lin Daoming caught it and saw that it was precisely the Big Transfer Talisman he was supposed to retrieve from Dawo City.


    In that instant, the trust between them completely shattered.


    But Lin Daoming also knew that it was already too late to turn back.


    After being expelled from the Heaven-Repairing Lineage by Leading Star Ancestor atop Gathering-Immortals Peak, if he wanted to achieve Divinity Transformation, the only way was to leave the Immortal Gate.


    And the Fetal Transformation Essence was precisely the foundation he had risked to posture himself for his Divinity Transformation.


    If not for that, why would he, the dignified Head of Immortal Affairs, instruct Yan Xinji to conduct such an experiment?


    ¡°Act quickly, and then we leave immediately!¡±


    Lin Daoming released the Earth True Qi that had been blocking Yan Xinji but still didn¡¯t relinquish control over the Purple Electric Sword.


    Chen Mobai saw in the sky above that Yan Xinji¡¯s dragon claw suddenly broke through the golden murky True Qi, and his heart sank, knowing he was brought to the most perilous juncture of life and death.


    ¡°Qing Women, do you trust me?¡±


    He suddenly asked Qing Women behind him.


    ¡°In the Immortal Gate, I only trust you!¡±


    Qing Women¡¯s resolute reply brought a satisfied smile to Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist whatever I do next!¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai took out the Qing Shuang Sword and, after coming to an agreement on a price, he borrowed the power of the Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact to confront Yan Xinji¡¯s Jade Cloud Dragon Puppet.


    This puppet was clearly only at the Third Rank Peak, so he had the strength to fight it.


    But after just one clash with it, an anxious Lin Daoming could not wait any longer and directly joined the fray!


    The golden murky True Qi descended, binding the Qing Shuang Sword once again!


    The formidable power of a Nascent Soul Complete cultivator directly suppressed two of the most powerful Fourth Rank swords!


    ¡°Hand over Qing Women to me, and I will ensure he doesn¡¯t attack you!¡±


    Lin Daoming¡¯s words echoed in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears, and it seemed Yan Xinji had heard them too; he said nothing in opposition and even nodded.


    ¡°My target is just Qing Women. I¡¯ll give you three seconds to think it over. If you wish to die, I¡¯ve no choice but to get tough. The Double Saints of the Immortal Gate can¡¯t intimidate us from the Antiquity Daoist System.¡±


    As Yan Xinji spoke, the Jade Cloud Dragon Puppet once again extended a claw, reaching out to grab Qing Women behind Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Ah, both seniors, please stop. I hope to personally escort Qing Women for part of the way!¡±


    Following Lin Daoming¡¯s entrance, Chen Mobai seemed to have truly despaired, letting the Purple Electric Sword and Qing Shuang Sword give up resistance with a bitter smile.


    He then stretched his hand out to take out the Big Transfer Talisman he had long since secured!


    Seeing this, Yan Xinji paused.


    His refined Big Transfer Talisman could only be used by one person. Originally, he planned to use the Big Transfer Talisman within the Jade Cloud Dragon Puppet to take Qing Women and leave Lin Daoming to face the wrath from the Immortal Gate¡¯s side.


    But if Chen Mobai was willing to use another Big Transfer Talisman to send Qing Women away, then he could also take Lin Daoming, thereby strengthening the Ascension Sect¡¯s might while weakening the Immortal Gate, staying true to his word as well.


    ¡°You have five seconds to say your goodbyes!¡±


    Yan Xinji spoke coldly, with Lin Daoming also releasing the golden murky True Qi, allowing the Purple Green Double Swords to fly back to Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    As a Nascent Soul Complete cultivator, Lin Daoming was confident he could control the situation.


    ¡°Qing Women, for the next half of our lives, I will spend it with you!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke to Qing Women and then lifted the Big Transfer Talisman in his hand.


    As the dense Power of Void erupted, Chen Mobai reached out and grasped the hand of Qing Women.


    ¡°Kid, are you also looking to join our Ascension Sect?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Yan Xinji thought that Chen Mobai and Qing Nu had such a deep affection for each other that he couldn¡¯t bear to see her leave the Immortal Gate alone. However, when he refined his Big Transfer Talisman, due to the lack of materials, it could only teleport one person.


    ¡°Give the talisman to her, you kid do not meet the requirements for our Ascension Sect to recruit new members!¡±


    Yan Xinji¡¯s words made Lin Daoming glance sideways.


    Not even someone with Qualification of Deification meets the requirements?


    Since when did the Ascension Sect have such high standards!


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much and handed the Big Transfer Talisman in his hand to Qing Nu.


    At this moment, the silver-white light had already become so dazzlingly bright that it enveloped both Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    Subsequently, the two disappeared from their original spot!


    Seeing this, Yan Xinji was thoroughly confused!


    How could this be?


    Could it be that the talisman was overachieved when it was refined?


    It actually managed to teleport two people away directly!


    ¡°Not good, Heavenly Star is casting light this way, someone is coming!¡±


    And just at this moment, Lin Daoming¡¯s expression drastically changed, as he looked up beyond the sky, where in the daylight sky, a dazzling star suddenly twinkled.


    He who was familiar with all things in the Immortal Gate naturally knew what this signified!


    It meant someone was locating their position, and once the location was locked, they could use the Great Void Transference Technique to instantly teleport here.


    Within the Immortal Gate, aside from the Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate, there was only the Kaiyuan Hall Master, Qi Yuheng, who could perform the Great Void Transference.


    Whoever was coming, they couldn¡¯t handle it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly!¡±


    Hearing this, Yan Xinji dared not dawdle any longer, immediately activating the Big Transfer Talisman he held, and once again transformed into a jade statue, flying into Lin Daoming¡¯s hands along with the talisman.


    Amidst the flickering silver light, Lin Daoming instantly vanished into the skies above Southfield City!


    And just seven minutes later, the void suddenly distorted, and a tall-nosed, cold-eyed, rugged-faced young man stepped out.


    His skin was smooth as jade, and he wore a pair of exquisite Jade Pendants on his ears. With a light wave of his long fingers, the door of void behind him immediately closed, and he slowly descended to the spot where Chen Mobai and Qing Nu had vanished.


    His eyes sparkled with a faint light, as if possessing a strange power that penetrated illusions and the past.


    A moment later, he took flight again, arriving at the place in mid-air where Lin Daoming had left using the Big Transfer Talisman.


    ¡°Unexpectedly, in the end, you still fell into the ways of the Side Sect, it¡¯s a huge disappointment to me!¡±


    The youth was the Kaiyuan Hall Master, Qi Yuheng, known as the first Nascent Soul of the Immortal Gate.


    He seemed to have used some technique, and had actually witnessed the scene that occurred here a quarter of an hour ago.


    The departure of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu did not concern him.


    However, Lin Daoming¡¯s defection was truly disappointing to Qi Yuheng, who had co-existed with him for hundreds of years.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And at this moment, the City Lord of Southfield City arrived at the incident site, leading the public officials of various departments of the Immortal Gate.


    Seeing Qi Yuheng, all their expressions changed dramatically, and they hastened to get out of their carriages to greet him.


    ¡°Look for Commissioner Chen from the Kaiyuan Hall, he was attacked by the cultists of the Ascension Sect; he might have used a Big Transfer Talisman, or possibly the Void Walking Technique to escape. We need to see him alive or find his body if he¡¯s dead!¡±


    After Qi Yuheng spoke these words, the law enforcement bureau on Southfield City¡¯s side immediately began to take urgent action.


    Chen Mobai was still the deputy head of the Department of Law Enforcement, their immediate superior!

 Chapter 1428 - Chapter 1428 Chapter 758 I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to

    Chapter 1428: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu) Chapter 1428: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu) At the moment Lin Daoming made his move, Qing Nu was confused, but deep down, she was in despair.


    Because this was a top Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Immortal Sect, they had absolutely no means of resistance.


    But the image of Chen Mobai standing in front of her, not retreating a single step, prompted a last flicker of comfort to surge within her despair.


    At that time, she had already made up her mind to die together with him!


    And when the silver light enveloped them both, Qing Nu held tightly onto Chen Mobai¡¯s outstretched hand, refusing to let go.


    This was her only tie within the Immortal Sect, as well as the mental support that had sustained her for decades.


    Fortunately, when the silver light faded, the sensation of their clasped hands did not disappear.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gentle voice entered her ears.


    Qing Nu slowly opened her eyes, yet her hands remained tightly clasped.


    Then, a towering Divine Tree that shaded the sky and pierced the clouds came into her view.


    As a student of the Jumang Academy, she was certain that this was a Fourth Order Spirit Plant she had never seen before.


    And around this Divine Tree, there were countless Spirit Plants, all Rank-1, lush and thriving.


    ¡°Where is this? Yu Wood City?¡±


    Qing Nu thought that only in a place like Yu Wood City could Chen Mobai set a coordinate for a technique similar to Void Teleportation.


    ¡°This is a Minor Realm that I¡¯ve named Divine Wood Realm. However, the power that possesses this realm calls it the Divine Tree Secret Realm!¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to explain using terms from the Immortal Sect.


    The term ¡°Minor Realm¡± was something Qing Nu had told him before when he needed Enlightenment Tea from the serene Minor Realm of the Jumang Academy.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a Minor Realm called Divine Wood or Divine Tree within the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Qing Nu looked around with some puzzlement at the flourishing Red-sun Spirit Trees and the Talent Tree not far away, wondering if there was a hidden realm within the Immortal Sect that she was unaware of, accessible and known only to core Immortal Sect disciples like Chen Mobai?


    ¡°Indeed, there isn¡¯t one in the Immortal Sect because we¡¯re no longer in the Immortal Sect now.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s casual remark made Qing Nu fail to realize the gravity of the situation. With a slight frown, she thought of a possibility.


    ¡°Could this be a Minor Realm inherited from the Antiquity Daoist System?¡±


    On the Di Yuan Star, apart from the Minor Realms left by the Huashen Ancestors of the Immortal Sect, there were others from Antiquity Daoist System, such as the renowned Purple Cloud Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s not. We are no longer on Di Yuan Star. This is a Different World!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words finally made Qing Nu snap to realization, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at the handsome young man before her.


    ¡°A Different World!?¡±


    Every Immortal Sect Disciple, from a young age, is taught about founding wars and world founding. As a disciple of the Sky-Mending Group, Qing Nu naturally heard about the disturbances in the Portal and that it could make contact with a new different world in about fifty years.


    ¡°Indeed, this is a Different World with respect to the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s statement left Qing Nu momentarily stunned, considering the unfamiliar Spirit Plants around her, she came across another possibility.


    ¡°Did The Three Great Halls use the Portal to send powerful Golden Core Masters like you ahead of time to gather intelligence on the different world? Will you be punished by The Three Great Halls for bringing me here?¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and smiled, walking with Qing Nu to the Talent Tree.


    ¡°There¡¯s a secret I¡¯ve never told you¨CI am a Void Spirit Body!¡±


    Qing Nu was shocked to hear this, but her expression quickly turned into one of realization.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the Void Spirit Body, how could Chen Mobai easily found a Golden Core Domain during his Foundation Establishment.


    Only with a Void Spirit Body could cultivating Void Walking at the Golden Core Realm become reasonable for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°My Void Spirit Body is very powerful, but it wasn¡¯t until I turned eighteen that it fully awakened. And after awakening, I could freely traverse between the Immortal Sect and this Different World.¡±


    ¡°These years, I have joined a Sect in this Different World, using its resources to improve my cultivation level, while also observing everything about this world.¡±


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t stand by when Yan Xinji and Lin Daoming attacked you, so I brought you to this Different World without your consent, for which I am very sorry!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words rendered Qing Nu completely speechless.


    Although she knew that Chen Mobai¡¯s rapid cultivation progress must have had its secret, she had never imagined it to be like this.


    A Void Spirit Body capable of freely navigating between Di Yuan Star and a Different World was an unprecedentedly powerful body within the Immortal Sect.


    Perhaps even more potent than a Pure Yang Body!


    Indeed, he was the most talented individual in the history of the Immortal Sect!

    ¡°Can we, still go back?¡±


    Finally regaining composure from her overwhelming shock, Qing Nu voiced her most pressing concern.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t go back now. According to Yan Xinji, you are harboring Fetal Transformation Essence, which even the Huashen Ancestors covet¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and began revealing all the truths he knew about the Immortal Sprout cultivation plan.


    When Qing Nu found out that she was cultivated from the genes of Yan Xinji¡¯s deceased daughter and was also a furnace for the filtration and transformation of Fetal Transformation Essence, her hands couldn¡¯t help but clench into fists.

 Chapter 1429 - Chapter 1429 Chapter 758 I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to

    Chapter 1429: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_2 Chapter 1429: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_2 ¡°Little Dust and Little Scenery, aren¡¯t they also furnaces!¡±


    Yan Xinji said to Chen Mobai, while Qing Nu, Kong Feichen, Yang Jing had merged with the Fetal Transformation Essence, the former¡¯s words, now for Chen Mobai, carried no trustworthiness at all.


    But one thing was certain, no matter what!


    That was within Qing Nu¡¯s body, there must certainly be Fetal Transformation Essence; otherwise, Yan Xinji wouldn¡¯t have gone through so much trouble.


    Even in the end, Lin Daoming couldn¡¯t resist the temptation, and chose to betray the Immortal Gate, attacking Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    ¡°Since the two of them are still alive up to now, then they should not have the Fetal Transformation Essence. For now, you can set your mind at rest.¡±


    Chen Mobai comforted her in this way, yet he felt that back in Red Sandstone City, why the Ascension Sect had gone through great efforts to take Kong Feichen and Yang Jing away¨Ceven Yan Xinji exposed himself to take action personally, is probably because these two have Fetal Transformation Essence in their bodies.


    But of course, facing Qing Nu, he definitely couldn¡¯t say so.


    He only hoped that Kong Feichen and Yang Jing could last until the day he achieved Nascent Soul Formation and took charge of the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate.


    Only then would Chen Mobai have a chance to save them.


    ¡°Are we going to live in this different world from now on?¡±


    For Qing Nu, as long as she was with Chen Mobai, she could live anywhere. Although they can¡¯t return to the Immortal Gate now, it¡¯s actually even better for her.


    Because she finally saw the real him and learned of the stunning Void Spirit Body hidden beneath his Qualification of Deification!


    And it was at this moment that she felt the barrier between the two of them had vanished.


    Here, they could finally be openly together!


    ¡°Mhm, as I¡¯ve said, the latter half of your life will be spent with me.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded gently, and hearing these words, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t contain herself any longer and threw herself into his arms.


    Feeling the soft and boneless body pressed tightly against him, Chen Mobai¡¯s body trembled slightly, his hands somewhat unsure of what to do, but in the end, he lifted his right hand and gently embraced Qing Nu.


    After Qing Nu¡¯s emotions stabilized, Chen Mobai began to tell her everything about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°At the Immortal Gate, I still have parents, friends, teachers and juniors, etc., so I will have to go back later to check in, and explain your disappearance.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I have handled the matters at the Immortal Gate, I will immediately come back to be with you.¡±


    ¡°This Divine Tree Secret Realm is a legacy site left by an ancient great teaching, housing three Divine Trees. There¡¯s an issue with the Great Dao Tree, so I won¡¯t take you there¨Chere with the Talent Tree, as well as the other Magic Treasure Tree which you haven¡¯t visited, it¡¯s a good opportunity to try and see what treasures can be opened.¡±


    With these words, Chen Mobai patted Qing Nu¡¯s smooth back within his embrace and pointed to the Talent Tree right before their eyes.


    Last time, his Earth Spirit Root broke through to 80 points, so he came here to claim a Grand Spell of the Longevity Sect.


    That¡¯s why, when he used the Turtle Treasure to teleport with Qing Nu, they arrived here.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Qing Nu was filled with curiosity about the Talent Tree.


    ¡°With your Heavenly Water Spirit Root, you¡¯ll certainly be able to enter the inheritance space of the Longevity Sect, where there are Five Great Immortal Sutras and Twenty-Four Great Dao Techniques. You just need to take a blue or black figurative Technique, as I¡¯ve already acquired the rest over the years.¡±


    During the conversation, Chen Mobai took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Bag, on which the Water Immortal Scripture ¨C ¡°Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture¡± ¨C was engraved!


    Qing Nu received it and swept it with her Divine Sense, her expression shocked once again.


    It was a Cultivation Technique that could be practiced up to the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    Although the Divine Transformation Technique of the Immortal Gate could be downloaded with points, this Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture was not available within the Immortal Gate. It was a pure Water Attribute Divine Transformation Technique.


    If she grew up practicing in the Immortal Gate, then relying on her Heavenly Water Spirit Root, even if she could practice up to the Nascent Soul Realm, she would then need to switch to practicing the Liu Yu Scripture or the Jade Purity Scripture if she wished to undergo Divinity Transformation.


    Moreover, whether it be the Liu Yu Scripture or Jade Purity Scripture, none could perfectly match with her. She could only extract their essences and see if she could pave her own Path of God Transformation.


    But with this Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, everything was different!


    Her Heavenly Water Spirit Root was a perfect fit for this Water Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect. She could rely on it and cultivate straight to the Spirit Transformation Stage.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    After Qing Nu finished reading, she didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with Chen Mobai and happily accepted this Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.


    With this, she has the hope to keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation progress for the next thousands of years.


    She was already looking forward to spending an eternity in this different world with Chen Mobai¨Ctill the sky grows old and the seas run dry.


    ¡°Later on, when you see the pictorial representations of these inheritances, you just need to grasp onto them¡­¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai began instructing her on how to acquire Grand Spells from the Talent Tree.


    With him, a seasoned guide, pointing the way, Qing Nu naturally encountered no problems.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even so, when she came out of the inheritance space, her face was full of astonishment, for her it was a novel experience.


    ¡°I obtained a Technique called ¡®Water Droplet Sword¡¯!¡±


    Qing Nu shared the Grand Spell inheritance she received.


    This Technique was an attacking art based on the ¡°Abyss True Water¡± condensed from the practice of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.


    It involved condensing the vast and immeasurable Abyss True Water into a single droplet, falling like a sword, capable of penetrating the most solid and powerful defenses and Restrictions.

 Chapter 1430 - Chapter 1430 Chapter 758 I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to

    Chapter 1430: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_3 Chapter 1430: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_3 The most powerful aspect is that the might of this technique is unlimited!


    As long as the refined Abyss True Water is sufficient, one can endlessly enhance the power of the Water Droplet Sword!


    ¡°Good, the customs here in the Tianhe Realm are fierce; you need such grand offensive spells to improve your ability in magic duels.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod, acknowledging that Qing Nu was very fortunate.


    He had been looting in the Talent Tree for so long and obtained four water attribute grand spells: Water Escape, Azure Water Sky Net, As You Wish Water Mist, and Water Mirror Reflection.


    Among them, Water Escape is an escape skill, which allows passage and teleportation anywhere in the world where there is water once mastered.


    And the other three grand spells, like the Water Droplet Sword, require Abyss True Water as the source to cast.


    ¡°Azure Water Sky Net¡± is a defensive technique, able to change form with a thought, dubbed the most gentle defense of the Longevity Sect.


    ¡°As You Wish Water Mist¡± is a misty technique, where any Divine Sense that falls into it cannot find itself; even Art of Spiritual Eyes, if one¡¯s cultivation level is not sufficient, would become dizzy and disoriented, with a small area covering the whole body, up to millions of ell covering a whole continent.


    It is said that the territories where the Longevity Sect used to be would be covered by As You Wish Water Mist, preventing outsiders from spying on the true body of the Heavenly Sovereign!


    And ¡°Water Mirror Reflection¡± is an amazing technique that allows one to observe distant places!


    At its peak, the Abyss True Water shines like a full moon, reflecting all things in the world from thousands of miles away, using the ubiquitous water vapor in the void, vividly portraying every detail!


    Chen Mobai originally thought he¡¯d keep these grand spells to himself for a lifetime; now that he could let Qing Nu cultivate them, he felt like he had made a profit.


    ¡°Then I need to find a way to form my Gold Core as soon as possible. It¡¯s just a pity that since I¡¯ve left the Immortal Gate, I can¡¯t obtain the Golden Liquid Jade Pill or the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill anymore!¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, she felt the happy worries of fortunate troubles.


    To refine the complete Abyss True Water, only those in the Golden Core Realm can do it; with her current state of Foundation Establishment Completion, at most, she can refine Spiritual Energy containing some characteristics of the Abyss True Water.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this matter. My Five Elements Sect has already united the Eastern Wilderness and can collect the ingredients to refine Golden Liquid Jade Pills.¡±


    Bringing Qing Nu to the Tianhe Realm also relieved Chen Mobai from worrying about the Alchemist problem in the future.


    Her Alchemy was systematically studied at the Immortal Gate, a true talent who fully received the true transmission.


    Just waiting for her Core Formation, she would probably be able to easily refine Rank-4 Elixirs.


    In this way, in the future, if materials for Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine could be collected, she could also make an attempt.


    ¡°I suppose there are no alchemy facilities like those in Immortal Gate here. When you go back, you can try to purchase some old ones and send them here. When it comes to Alchemy, you can leave it to me. Once I have transformed the Cultivation Techniques, I¡¯ll leverage my Heavenly Spiritual Root foundation to form my Gold Core first, and then I will use Elixirs to supplement the Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Speaking of Alchemy, confidence appeared on Qing Nu¡¯s face.


    In the past, it was precisely because of her excellent Alchemy skills that she caught Chen Mobai¡¯s eye.


    And to demonstrate her value, she had already decided that once she completed practicing the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, she would begin Core Formation.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush for that; focus on converting the Cultivation Techniques first. I have also collected some Water Attribute Gold Core Spiritual Material over the years. When you form your Gold Core, I guarantee it won¡¯t be inferior to the Golden Liquid Jade Pills!¡±


    Chen Mobai would certainly not allow Qing Nu to use her own Heavenly Spiritual Root foundation when forming her Gold Core; he still had a Water Spirit Fruit and Ice Marrow Pure Jade and Water Mist Ice Crystals obtained from Kong Lingling. Although the latter two were mainly most useful for Ice Spirit Root Cultivators, they also had half the effect for those practicing Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    However, according to his thinking, with Qing Nu¡¯s talent and profound foundation, she probably only needs to consume one Water Spirit Fruit.


    But as that had already been promised to Luo Yixuan before, and although the latter is most likely able to successfully form her Gold Core without it, it¡¯s better to wait until after Luo Yixuan forms her Gold Core just to be cautious.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±


    Qing Nu now had absolute trust in Chen Mobai, nodding obediently to every word he said.


    Chen Mobai then took her to the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Her talent was judged to be at the Saintess level of the Longevity Sect.


    So this time, she was very lucky and a pool of Abyss True Water came out of a blue-black fruit!


    For Qing Nu, this was incredibly timely.


    All she needed was to refine this water, and she could use those water attribute grand spells even in the Foundation Building Realm.


    Watching Qing Nu somewhat flustered, Chen Mobai took out a set of Spirit Sealing Tubes from his own Domain to help her collect that pool of Abyss True Water.


    ¡°This is a storage bag I¡¯ve used before; take it and use it for now.¡±


    After explaining the function of the storage bag, Qing Nu was amazed.


    She hadn¡¯t expected this Different World to be so resource-rich!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Basically, all the Spiritual Energy from the ley lines of the Divine Tree Secret Realm is suppressed by the three Divine Trees, and I have a wooden house near a Golden Sun Spirit Tree; go there for secluded Cultivation. In the storage bag, I¡¯ve put a thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones; don¡¯t be frugal with your daily cultivation, increase your Cultivation Speed and fully transform your Cultivation Techniques into the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused Qing Nu, who took over the storage bag, to tremble slightly in her hands.


    A thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones?


    This was¡­ too extravagant!


    Even though Chen Mobai had told her that Spirit Stones were not valuable in the Tianhe Realm, the thrifty habits formed from a young age at the Immortal Gate still made it somewhat difficult for her to use them.

 Chapter 1431 - Chapter 1431 Chapter 758 I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to

    Chapter 1431: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_4 Chapter 1431: Chapter 758: I Stand Irreconcilably Opposed to the Ascension Sect (Thanks to Xiao Meng 666 for the silver alliance reward to Qing Nu)_4 ¡°This place won¡¯t have any visitors, but if you encounter a Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect in this Divine Tree Secret Realm, tell them I invited you as a guest.¡±


    Chen Mobai had set up a Puppet factory within this Secret Realm, with the Puppet Division¡¯s Li Yixian in charge of its operation. He would not restrict Qing Nu¡¯s freedom, providing her with an excuse should she encounter anyone while wandering around.


    Lastly, he reminded Qing Nu not to go near the Great Dao Tree.


    By this time, the two had already arrived at the wooden house of the three-level Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    Chen Mobai talked with her for a while more, sensing that it was about time, first employed the Underworld Array Teleportation to leave the area, then clicked on Turtle Treasure to return to the city!


    Amidst flickering silver lights,


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure reappeared in Southfield City.


    At the spot where he had initially disappeared with Qing Nu, the city¡¯s Law Enforcement Cultivators had drawn a yellow line and erected a barrier.


    As soon as he appeared, he was immediately spotted by the Law Enforcement Cultivators stationed there!


    ¡°Deputy Director Chen, you¡¯re finally back. Quickly notify Master Qi!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face was already well-recognized by them, so as soon as they saw him, one of the middle-aged Enforcement Cultivators in charge immediately ran over with his team and instructed a subordinate.


    Soon, a silver star brightened in the sky above Southfield City, and Qi Yuheng stepped out from the Void, looking at Chen Mobai with a slight frown.


    ¡°Where did you go?¡±


    Chen Mobai indeed knew Qi Yuheng, and was somewhat surprised to see him arrive in person.


    But he quickly realized that with Lin Daoming¡¯s betrayal, if it weren¡¯t for him being the foremost Nascent Soul of Immortal Gate, perhaps only the elders like Bai Guang and Qian Xing would have to come in person to maintain order.


    ¡°This matter is of great importance, it¡¯s not appropriate to speak here.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, he gestured towards the Enforcement Cultivators of Southfield City; the middle-aged leader immediately led his team away.


    ¡°Reporting to Master Qi, Lin Daoming betrayed the Immortal Gate, colluding with the Ascension Sect Cultists to kidnap my subordinate Qing Nu. To prevent their success, I feigned compliance and activated the Big Transfer Talisman given by them. In reality, during the transference, I used the Void Secret Technique to follow Qing Nu, to ensure she wouldn¡¯t fall into the hands of the Ascension Sect. However, my Void Walking seemed to be affected by the Big Transfer Talisman, and I ended up in a very remote place, hence my delayed return.¡±


    Chen Mobai explained his situation, leaving Qi Yuheng uncertain whether to believe him or not.


    ¡°You are from the Righteous Law Hall; I have no authority to interrogate you. Follow me back to Wangwu Cave Heaven first and wait for the trial by the three Halls, three Departments.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    He held a high stature within the Immortal Gate, especially regarding the major issue of Lin Daoming¡¯s betrayal; surely, the case would not be so easily concluded.


    However, in this situation, he was also a victim, and with so many witnesses in public, the Immortal Gate¡¯s interrogation would primarily aim to ascertain the true situation.


    Since Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t perform Great Void Transference, Qi Yuheng arranged for the nearest flight directly from Southfield City back to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Chen Mobai, as the Deputy Director of the Department of Law Enforcement, could officially be interrogated only by the Enforcement Department Director Wen Lianshan, the Deputy Hall Master Gongsun Jielu of the Righteous Law Hall, and the Hall Master Narcissus of the Righteous Law Hall.


    However, due to the involvement of Lin Daoming and the Ascension Sect, aside from the Righteous Law Hall, it was certain that the Hall of Immortal Affairs and Kaiyuan Hall would need to send representatives.


    This was the trial by the Three Great Halls of Immortal Gate.


    Yet, those who were eligible to participate in the trial, upon learning about this matter, all wanted to refuse by any means, be it illness or interference during their cultivation, with some even falling into derangement.


    Except for Chen Mobai who was directly involved as a member of the Weapon Dancing Sect and due to Lin Daoming¡¯s defection ¡ª the incident had too many potential implications!


    They feared inadvertently getting dragged into it.


    Thus, upon returning to Wangwu Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai found himself unexpectedly at leisure.


    He was accommodated by Qi Yuheng in the Welcoming Immortals Hotel within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, and the next day Narcissus led Gongsun Jielu there.


    Narcissus asked about the events, then revealed some news to him.


    After Qi Yuheng rushed to Southfield City, he immediately pursued Lin Daoming to the outside of the Heavenly Curtain on Di Yuan Star via Void Teleportation Technique, traversing tens of thousands of miles through the starry skies, where they fiercely clashed.


    Ultimately, if Yan Xinji had not arrived in his true form to provide assistance, Lin Daoming would likely have been slain by Qi Yuheng.


    However, Qi Yuheng also depleted some elemental energy during the battle and went into seclusion upon returning, handing over the triple hall assessment committee matters to Ye Yune, the vice hall master of Kaiyuan Hall.


    Upon hearing this name, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    He had an average relationship with this woman!


    Could it be that she would take this opportunity to trip him up?


    But under the current circumstances, Chen Mobai also found it inappropriate to mobilize the Weapon Dancing Sect, as that would appear cowardly.


    Fortunately, the matter regarding the Fetal Transformation Essence was unknown to others, as Yan Xinji and Lin Daoming had discussed it in the air. Otherwise, the situation wouldn¡¯t be so simple.


    The problem still lay in how to explain Qing Nu¡¯s disappearance!


    But Chen Mobai had already figured out a solution!


    In the worst case, he could just claim that Qing Nu was taken away by a Big Transfer Talisman, and he was unable to track her using the Void Walking Technique, suggesting that Qing Nu might have fallen into the hands of the Ascension Sect.


    Anyhow, until he controlled the highest authority of the Immortal Gate, Qing Nu would not return. Even if she was branded a cultist by the Immortal Gate like Kong Feichen, it wouldn¡¯t make any difference!


    As Chen Mobai was thinking this way, the Three Great Halls of Xianmen finally classified the case as Lin Daoming¡¯s defection. Then, they agreed on the personnel and formed the triple hall assessment committee.


    In a conference room in the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, Chen Mobai sat at the podium facing seven high-ranking individuals from the Three Great Halls.


    Righteous Law Hall Master Narcissus, Deputy Hall Master Gongsun Jielu, and Enforcement Department Director Wen Lianshan were all present.


    Kaiyuan Hall was represented by Ye Yune and another rotating committee member named Shi Miao.


    From the Immortal Affairs Hall, there were Vice Hall Master Bo Xiangqian and Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Commissioner Chen, this is a Mind-reading Talisman!¡±


    Lan Haitian placed a talisman on the table and indicated towards Chen Mobai, who nodded in acknowledgment.


    This would verify whether Chen Mobai was telling the truth or lying.


    Soon, the seven individuals began asking about the details of Lin Daoming¡¯s defection, and Chen Mobai explained everything he knew.


    ¡°Why did Lin Daoming abduct your subordinate, Qing Nu, before his defection?¡±


    Finally, Ye Yune asked a critical question.


    ¡°As far as I know, when Lin Daoming took over as the head of the Immortal Affairs Hall, he collaborated with Yan Xinji to initiate the Immortal Sprout cultivation project. Qing Nu was the proudest creation of this project, so he wanted to take her with him!¡±


    Chen Mobai answered truthfully but omitted the Fetal Transformation Essence.


    ¡°Where is Qing Nu now?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°She was taken away by the technique of Void Transport. I can only be sure that she is no longer on Di Yuan Star.¡±


    ¡°Do you have any connections with the Ascension Sect?¡±


    This question was rather sharp. After hearing it, Chen Mobai looked up at Ye Yune and firmly shook his head.


    ¡°Qing Nu is my friend, and I am utterly opposed to the Ascension Sect, irreconcilably so!¡±


    The Mind-reading Talisman showed that everything Chen Mobai said was true!

 Chapter 1432 - Chapter 1432 Chapter 759 Saving the Five-Cornered Ancient

    Chapter 1432: Chapter 759: Saving the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple Chapter 1432: Chapter 759: Saving the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple After the joint hearing of the three halls and the three departments, Chen Mobai¡¯s suspicion was cleared.


    The Immortal Sect respects personal privacy highly, hence once they confirmed that he was irreconcilably opposed to the Ascension Sect, they did not pursue further.


    However, this was mainly because he has a special identity, with connections in high places.


    After it ended, Ye Yune took Shi Miao and left first.


    Narcissus spoke a few words with Chen Mobai, instructing him to keep to his work schedule and continue overseeing the Sky-Mending Group, then left with Gongsun Jielu and Wen Lianshan.


    In the end, only Lan Haitian was left, sharing lunch with Chen Mobai.


    The two were also comrades who had fought side by side in the past, and after their last interaction, they now considered each other allies.


    ¡°Lin Daoming has been identified as a traitor, but the higher-ups¡¯ stance is to not publicize it, seal all his records, and delete all content about him from the internet¡­¡±


    During the meal, Lan Haitian spoke about how the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect handled Lin Daoming.


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat surprised.


    ¡°Such a significant matter of betrayal, just suppressed like that?¡±


    After listening, Lan Haitian shook his head and then pointed towards the ceiling, Chen Mobai roughly understood.


    The one whose intervention he dared not mention must be related to the Leading Star Ancestor of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, if it were him who spoke up, then indeed, the matter concerning Lin Daoming could be suppressed.


    However, at least the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect had classified Lin Daoming as a deserter, so in the future, if Chen Mobai possessed the strength, he could confront and take revenge directly.


    Yet, for Chen Mobai, handling it low-key was better.


    After all, if this matter were dug into deeper, discovering that Qing Nu possessed Fetal Transformation Essence, it wouldn¡¯t just end lightly like today, there might be a thorough investigation on him.


    Even possibly, like the Master Huakai, prompting the Leading Star Ancestor to personally intervene.


    In that case, things would become serious.


    Under the will of the highest echelon, the incident at Southfield City was defined as a terror attack by the Ascension Sect. Lin Daoming¡¯s name did not appear in the rolls of the Department of Law Enforcement for this case.


    Since it was related to the Ascension Sect, it ultimately fell to the Sky-Mending Group.


    After adding a few notes to the dossier, Chen Mobai dispatched the third intelligence group and the sixth combat group to Southfield City, to investigate if there were any remnants of the Ascension Sect.


    Before Mo Huaixian who was the leader of the third group left, Chen Mobai told him about the store where he encountered the Yan Xinji puppet doll, requesting him to follow up on this clue.


    After giving these orders, Chen Mobai quietly stayed in Wangwu Cave Heaven for three months.


    During this period, Meng Huang repeatedly invited him, but he always used the excuse of being busy with official duties, his daily routine was either work or visiting the Divine Tree Secret Realm with Qing Nu after returning home.


    Qing Nu¡¯s talent was exceptional; although the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture was a Divinity Transformation Technique, she quickly got the grasp of it.


    However, the transformation of Spiritual Power needed time, based on Qing Nu¡¯s own estimation, it might take about three years, then another three years for integration, so roughly six years later, she could attempt Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai was also very pleased with this.


    Knowing this, he also had to think about preparing resources for Qing Nu¡¯s Core Formation.


    Today, Chen Mobai returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Receiving the news, Gu Yan immediately came to pay his respects!


    ¡°Has there been any reply from Yan Shaoyin?¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai spoke, Gu Yan promptly presented a letter.


    After reading it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    Because the Five Elements Sect had provided half of the materials for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, so after Yan Shaoyin¡¯s refinement, he needed to hand over half of the elixirs produced.


    Yan Shaoyin was very lucky this time; he succeeded in refinement on his first attempt.


    However, in the reply, Yan Shaoyin also told the truth.


    This batch of elixirs produced only two pills; one had slight imperfections, while the other one had significant defects.


    These defects were naturally due to Dan Poison.


    The meaning in Yan Shaoyin¡¯s reply was that he intended to keep the slightly flawed Infant-Feeding Elixir for himself, while the other severely flawed and exceeding standard Dan Poison would go to Chen Mobai.


    Regarding this, in his reply, he also expressed deep apologies and offered to compensate with Spirit Stones or Spirit Rice.


    Chen Mobai was not interested in these items; he only wanted Yan Shaoyin to immediately consume the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    Moreover, after the second layer of Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun, Dan Poison no longer affected him, thus the heavily flawed Infant-Feeding Elixir was essentially a non-toxic Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Medicine in terms of the Immortal Sect version.


    However, there would definitely be some difference in medicinal efficacy, as quite a few primary and auxiliary medicines were exchanged.


    Chen Mobai still held a great respect for Yan Shaoyin¡¯s ability to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir under these circumstances.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I will personally go to Back to Sky Valley and discuss this deal with Master Yan!¡±


    After reading Yan Shaoyin¡¯s reply, Chen Mobai directly took Gu Yan and headed towards Xia Jun.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But he underestimated Yan Shaoyin¡¯s determination and caution.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, the master went out to visit friends a few days ago.¡±


    The person who received Chen Mobai was the temporary leader of Back to Sky Valley, He Jintong, who looked slightly embarrassed, then took a Jade Vial out.


    ¡°This is a pill that the master left behind before he left, I was personally supposed to deliver it to the Five Elements Sect, I didn¡¯t expect Sect Master Chen to come personally¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned as he took it and saw a vermilion-colored Dan inside the Jade Vial, but the surface of the Dan had a ring of black lines, which were Dan Poison residues uncleaned from within the Dan.


    He poured it out for inspection, felt the strong life force and Elemental Energy contained within the elixir, confirming that this was indeed the Infant-Feeding Elixir.

 Chapter 1433 - Chapter 1433 Chapter 759 Rescue the Five-Cornered Ancient

    Chapter 1433: Chapter 759: Rescue the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 Chapter 1433: Chapter 759: Rescue the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 ¡°Master Yan is being utterly shameless this time!¡±


    Chen Mobai did not mince words, directly mocking him in front of the entire assembly from Back to Sky Valley.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, please forgive us. My master is willing to compensate your sect with five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones and one thousand kilograms of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice¡­¡±


    He Jintong, facing Chen Mobai, the top sect leader of the Eastern Desolation, didn¡¯t dare show any temper and began cautiously.


    ¡°Do you think I lack these things?¡±


    The coldness in Chen Mobai¡¯s words made He Jintong involuntarily wipe the sweat from his forehead, and he could only continue apologizing.


    After Yan Shaoyin finished nurturing the batch of Infant-Feeding Elixirs, he guessed, from his understanding of Chen Mobai¡¯s character, that Chen Mobai would certainly not want an Infant-Feeding Elixir with excess Dan poison. But as this concerned his own Nascent Soul Formation, he gritted his teeth, took the elixirs and directly used the channels of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to run over to East Yu.


    He decided to rent the Rank-4 Cave Abode of the Star Heaven Dao Sect to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation, resolving to succeed or die trying!


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had sworn a Daoist Heart Oath during the refinement, Yan Shaoyin would have even thought about taking both Infant-Feeding Elixirs with him.


    In any case, he was determined to risk it all in hope that this attempt at Nascent Soul Formation would succeed.


    Fortunately, Yan Shaoyin still felt some attachment to Back to Sky Valley, so before leaving, he explained the situation to his true disciple He Jintong. In essence, the instruction was to stall.


    To delay until the result of his Nascent Soul Formation was known; if it was a success, then that¡¯s wonderful, and he would reclaim all the indignities suffered over the years from the Five Elements Sect.


    If it failed, then He Jintong could either directly submit to the Five Elements Sect or seek refuge with the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    Given their lineage¡¯s Alchemy, both factions would surely be willing to accept them.


    ¡°You from Back to Sky Valley will mortgage a thousand mu of your medicine fields to our Five Elements Sect, then I will reluctantly swallow this affront.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered a solution, upon hearing which He Jintong¡¯s face shifted between hope and despair. The medicine fields were the foundational core of Back to Sky Valley, even back when Ancestor Hunyuan was around, there were no incidents of mortgaging the medicine fields.


    However, given the disparity in power and the precedent set by the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s fall right before their eyes, wouldn¡¯t resisting just give Five Elements Sect legitimate cause to raise their forces?


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this is a matter of great consequence. Could we please wait for my master to return before we make any decisions?¡±


    He Jintong didn¡¯t want to become the eternal sinner of his sect, so he gathered the courage to speak these words in front of Chen Mobai, the sect leader of the Eastern Desolation¡¯s foremost great faction.


    ¡°Hmph, do you think Yan Shaoyin will even come back?¡±


    Chen Mobai said mockingly, causing He Jintong¡¯s face to flush red, but ultimately he still managed to restrain himself, again apologizing to him.


    ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll give you another choice. You should have the Alchemy Recipe for the Return to True Elixir that Yan Shaoyin refined last time, don¡¯t you? You from Back to Sky Valley will collect the materials for three furnaces of these as compensation to me, and we¡¯ll consider this matter settled.¡±


    Upon hearing this, He Jintong¡¯s eyelids twitched even more, as he opened his mouth with a bitter smile: ¡°Sect Master Chen, my master used up practically all of our sect¡¯s stored materials to refine the Return to True Elixir before. Even if we mobilize our connections to collect them now, we can at most gather enough for one furnace, three furnaces are truly beyond our ability.¡±


    The Return to True Elixir is a type of elixir for enhancing the spiritual power of Golden Core late-stage cultivators. Originally, Yan Shaoyin had chosen this from Chen Mobai¡¯s catalog of Alchemy Recipes, ruining two furnaces before finally succeeding in getting four pieces from the third.


    Afterwards, Yan Shaoyin, with the help of the Return to True Elixir and the Nirvana Dan, advanced to the stage of Perfect Core Formation, ready for Nascent Soul Formation.


    For Chen Mobai who is currently at the Golden Core Seventh Layer, this Return to True Elixir is especially suitable.


    Moreover, the Return to True Elixir is a Third Rank Superior Grade product, well within Qing Nu¡¯s capabilities.


    ¡°Since you can¡¯t do that, then bring out a thousand mu of medicine fields for compensation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said it casually, but He Jintong immediately changed his tune.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I will inquire with the medicinal material merchants partnered with our sect. We should be able to gather enough for three furnaces. It¡¯s just that we might need to go through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to order from the rest of the regions, which might take more time.¡±


    He Jintong figured to delay as long as possible. Chen Mobai, however, saw through his intention at a glance. The main reason for coming this time was to pressure them and also to speed up and reinforce Yan Shaoyin¡¯s determination for Nascent Soul Formation, so of course he could not allow Back to Sky Valley such leisure.


    ¡°Before the end of this year, the first furnace¡¯s materials must be delivered to the Five Elements Sect; the other two, next year. If all the materials are not delivered by the beginning of the year after next, let Yan Shaoyin come to explain to me personally. If not, either compensate with another half furnace¡¯s worth of materials for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, or mortgage the medicine fields of Back to Sky Valley in the Eastern Desolation Nineteen Prefectures to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai issued the final ultimatum. Though his tone was calm, paired with his notorious reputation for obliterating major factions in the Eastern Desolation since his emergence, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of Back to Sky Valley felt a chill run through their spines.


    He Jintong finally sighed and reluctantly nodded in agreement.


    But even so, when Chen Mobai left, he was very ¡°unhappy,¡± feeling that he had been played by Yan Shaoyin.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sect Leader, you seem to be in a good mood!¡±


    On their way back, Gu Yan noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s brimming smile and felt puzzled.


    ¡°The last Golden Core Cultivator in the Eastern Desolation who is not from the Five Elements Sect is about to become dust in history. How can I not be happy?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Gu Yan somewhat confused; she thought Chen Mobai had arranged for Rogue Cultivators to ambush Yan Shaoyin outside the Eastern Desolation.


    Chen Mobai did not explain further and instead led Gu Yan to the Flying Dragon Pond Sub-mansion on the border.


    A Rank-3 Green Charm Spiritual Tree had been planted here, and since it was Chen Mobai¡¯s asset, Han Zhiling, who served as the Town Guard for Summer Country, would come every year to collect the fresh tea leaves from here and from Dragon Horn Trench.


    However, last year, Chen Mobai designated this place to Zhou Wangshen, who was leading the former True Disciples of the Five Elements Meridians to condense the Five Elements Essence here.


    When he came out of seclusion this time, he found a Message Talisman from Zhou Wangshen stating that he had condensed twenty portions of the Five Elements Essence, asking if they should be delivered.


    Chen Mobai had returned from Back to Sky Valley and took a detour to check this out.


    Flying Dragon Pond was a Rank-3 Spirit Vein, more than sufficient to supply these Qi Cultivating Disciples for cultivation.


    Even tempted by the Foundation Building Pill, those former True Disciples who believed their path had ended were extremely diligent in condensing the Five Elements Essence atop such a powerful Spirit Vein.


    Everyone wanted to seize this glimmer of hope, to attempt Foundation Establishment once again.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    Zhou Wangshen was surprised to see Chen Mobai in person and immediately greeted him respectfully.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai took out a Jade Vial from his Storage Bag, which contained the Longevity Dew that he had Zeng Woyou refine.


    Zhou Wangshen excitedly received it and then handed over the Five Elements Essence that had been condensed over more than a year to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai checked it and found the quality to be fairly ordinary.


    However, since they were just beginning to condense it, this was normal.


    ¡°Going forward, I will have Gu Yan come for the Five Elements Essence. If you need any elixirs, Spirit Rice, or other resources, you can also mention it to her.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhou Wangshen courteously saluted towards the graceful Gu Yan behind him, who also returned a slight curtsy.


    After they exchanged Message Talismans, Chen Mobai took Gu Yan back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, on the way back, he deliberately detoured to the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard.


    He arranged for Gu Yan to liaise with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect there, while he himself headed straight for the summit.


    Chen Mobai wanted to try and see if he could revive the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the flickering silver light, he had already teleported to the front of the ancient maple tree, which was over ten feet tall, with its trunk charred and devoid of branches and leaves.


    Listening with Empty Valley Echo, he soon heard the spirit of the tree, nearly extinguished, and shook his head.


    This Five-Cornered Ancient Maple could not be saved with normal methods of reviving Spirit Plants.


    He wondered whether the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect, Dead Wood Meets Spring, would work on it?


    Before using the Grand Spell, Chen Mobai took out a drop of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, diluted it a hundred times using the method taught by Wen Ren Xuewei, scooped a ladleful, and watered the roots of the Spirit Plant.

 Chapter 1434 - Chapter 1434 Chapter 760 Experience (7K)

    Chapter 1434: Chapter 760: Experience (7K) Chapter 1434: Chapter 760: Experience (7K) ¡°The ¡®Dead Wood Meets Spring¡¯ Grand Spell was originally created by the Heavenly Sovereign to heal Spirit Plants that failed their tribulation.


    Among all spiritual beings, Spirit Plants face the most difficult tribulations, and out of hundreds, very few successfully transverse it.


    Although there¡¯s the One-Leaf Blindness Technique, the inherent spiritual nature of Spirit Plants is weak, and even a Fourth Stage Pinnacle Spirit Plant¡¯s spirituality is like that of an infant, hardly ever capable of successful cultivation.


    Thus, the ¡®Dead Wood Meets Spring¡¯ Grand Spell is extremely important for the Longevity Sect, as it can rejuvenate nearly dead Spirit Plants, shedding their encrustation and revitalizing them.


    This Five-Cornered Ancient Maple was also a Fourth Stage Pinnacle Spirit Plant long ago. However, during its breakthrough, it was bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulation, leaving only a sliver of fundamental elemental energy behind.


    And this tiny bit of elemental energy is the seed of hope for revival.


    After saturating it with the diluted Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Chen Mobai began to perform the ¡®Dead Wood Meets Spring¡¯ on the charred Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.


    Last month, he refined this Grand Spell in shared training with Yin Qingmei and handed over the refined green bamboo Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian and other Magic Artifacts to them.


    After returning, Chen Mobai used the empowerment of the Great Dao Tree to easily advance the ¡®Dead Wood Meets Spring¡¯ to the fourth stage level.


    Still, the inherent quality of this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple was so high, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure if he could succeed!


    A beam of life-filled green light fell, but there was no response.


    However, Chen Mobai did not get discouraged and continued to maintain the Grand Spell, letting the green light cover the entire Five-Cornered Ancient Maple while constantly listening for any signs through the ¡®Echoes in the Void¡¯.


    As time passed, he suddenly felt an extremely faint breath emerging from within the tree.


    The Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, previously saturating the blackened and dried bark, began to seep in slowly and then the deteriorated and dead outer bark cracked bit by bit.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately became spirited and continued manipulating the dilution of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, letting it fall like rain threads everywhere on the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.


    After a long while, the cracks abruptly expanded across the charred bark of the entire Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, then started to fall off in pieces, as if an invisible hand was stripping away its ruined coat to reveal the underneath timber texture.


    Simultaneously, Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡®Echoes in the Void¡¯ captured the whisper of this elemental energy.


    He closed his eyes and entered a deeper resonance.


    In this moment, Chen Mobai himself seemed to become this Spirit Plant, experiencing the passage of countless years at an extremely slow pace.


    He immediately entered the state of the Guidance Book, detaching his consciousness to avoid being altered and assimilated by these traces of the vast years.


    In the state of the Guidance Book, Chen Mobai acted like an observer who pressed the fast-forward button, seeing the past unlimited glory of this ancient maple tree that was once the sovereign protector of this land, where a single leaf falling would start an autumn wind, and a single thought could shake the vastness.


    It also endured numerous Heavenly Tribulations, barely surviving several times.


    But during the last one, its immense elemental energy dispersed under the cosmic forces, and endless Tribulation Thunder fell from the sky, shattering all its proud Fire Maple Spirit Leaves, with extremely cold ground fire emerging and permeating its roots, trunks, and branches, freezing its True Spirit.


    After losing its True Spirit, its vast and intense elemental energy started to rebel, burning it from within. If not for its power coexisting with this force for countless years, it might have been completely burned out, turning into mountains of ash.


    Even so, under such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, only the main trunk was left.


    The pain of near death¨Cif Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t stepped out using the Guidance Book, he might have suffered along with it, severely damaging his Divine Sense.


    Luckily, the robust Spirit Plant had incredibly strong life force.


    Even after facing such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple still retained the seed of revival elemental energy.


    Under the continuous nourishment of the ¡®Dead Wood Meets Spring¡¯ Grand Spell and the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, this ancient tree finally rejuvenated today.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes after a long while.


    He had used up all of the diluted Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    At this time, the charred bark of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple had already shed most of its layer, and a few young buds had sprung from the previously burnt branch sockets.


    This indicates that the Spirit Plant had fully revived.


    It was quite simple!


    Chen Mobai, seeing his own effortless rescue of the Spirit Plant, couldn¡¯t help but show a relaxed expression.


    Of course, the quick response was also partly due to the effect of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    After diluting another drop and watering half of it, he listened to the simple intention of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple expressing satisfaction before stopping.

    With the help of this Immortal Gate Spiritual Water, the just revived Five-Cornered Ancient Maple began to draw some spiritual energy from the earth¡¯s veins through its roots for self-healing and enhancement.


    However, what follows is the most critical part.


    It requires more careful observation to ensure that the freshly revived and still frail Five-Cornered Ancient Maple can repair itself correctly, receiving the supply of spiritual energy and rainwater.


    This would require a Spirit Plant Master who is extremely familiar with the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.


    Apart from Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming would be the one.¡±

 Chapter 1435 - Chapter 1435 Chapter 760 Experience (7K)_2

    Chapter 1435: Chapter 760: Experience (7K)_2 Chapter 1435: Chapter 760: Experience (7K)_2 If it were before, Chen Mobai would have definitely asked his disciple to come over and help him with this task.


    But now, he had another idea.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    At the foot of the mountain, Gu Yan and a newly promoted female Foundation Establishment practitioner named Wei Qiurong saw Chen Mobai descend, leading a dozen disciples from the Five Elements Sect, and respectfully greeted him.


    Previously, the Foundation Establishment practitioner Xin Tingzheng who was here passed away last year in meditation, a natural end to a full life.


    Before her Foundation Establishment, Wei Qiurong was an authentic transmission of the Spirit Plant Department, so she was assigned here.


    This task, however, was also something she actively sought out.


    After all, Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard was at least a fourth-grade lower-class Spirit Vein and had opened up numerous Rank-3 herb fields.


    If she were to practice in Giant Tree Ridge, she could at most enjoy Rank-3 Spiritual Energy.


    ¡°I will activate the life force of this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple with a secret technique. In the coming years, this Spirit Plant will continuously absorb the Spiritual Energy of the land veins from Tianpeng Mountain and rejuvenate. During this process, I would like to invite a powerful Spirit Plant Master, a friend of mine, to come and help with the care. You all must remember not to neglect her.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s words fell, Wei Qiurong immediately nodded seriously, indicating that the Sect Leader¡¯s friend was like an elder to her, and she would respect her as she does the Sect Leader.


    Chen Mobai believed this.


    The Cultivators here were not as sharply defined in personality like those in the Immortal Gate, especially the Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect, who revered every word of their Sect Leader as if divine.


    Chen Mobai planned to let Qing Nu come here.


    These days, he also told Qing Nu about the situation in the Tianhe Realm, feeling it was time for her to come out from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and make contact with the world.


    It just so happened that the Spiritual Energy in the Divine Tree Secret Realm was mostly suppressed by the three Divine Trees, and Qing Nu could only maintain her practice by using Spirit Stones, worrying every day about the tens of thousands of Good Deed Points she used¨Csuch chatter had really made Chen Mobai¡¯s ears grow calluses.


    Chen Mobai had considered letting Qing Nu practice in his Longevity Wood Dojo, but although he was the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, there were also Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, making it difficult to explain the sudden appearance and background of Qing Nu.


    After all, the Longevity Wood Dojo was the most important Spiritual Vein Core of the Wood Vein, it was not possible to just let Qing Nu, an outsider to the Five Elements Sect, stay for an extended period without cause.


    Chen Mobai had also considered taking Qing Nu to Northern Abyss City, but just then, he had achieved the breakthrough with the Dead Wood Meets Spring technique, and so he thought of the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard.


    It is also a fouth-grade Spirit Vein, typically used by the sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation practitioners, a bit of a waste.


    For Qing Nu to use it as a place for Cultivation was just right.


    First, he would arrange for Qing Nu to assume the identity of a friend of his, and when the time was right in the future, find a way to integrate her into the Five Elements Sect.


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai returned to Giant Tree Ridge with Gu Yan.


    As soon as he returned, he received another piece of good news.


    Yue Zutao had emerged from seclusion.


    He had successfully formed his Core, and his Realm was stable.


    As the first chief legacy disciple after the sect¡¯s split, Yue Zutao¡¯s Talent was extremely superior; having locked his Cultivation Level after consuming the Tree Fruit of Immortality, and because he couldn¡¯t breakthrough Realms, he didn¡¯t use any Elixirs to enhance his Spiritual Power further¨Ca fact that had honed his willpower. Later, with Chen Mobai¡¯s help, he solved this problem with the Dual Phase Technique, which was equivalent to undergoing Core Formation once.


    Thus, it was within Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations that Yue Zutao would succeed.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡±


    After forming his Core, Yue Zutao appeared somewhat spirited, exuding an air of confidence unlike his usual gentle demeanor, like a young scholar who just passed the imperial examinations.


    ¡°Hahaha, no need for such formalities. The sect has another Core Formation, and it¡¯s you¨CI¡¯m very pleased.¡±


    Chen Mobai warmly invited Yue Zutao to come over for tea, having prepared a pot of Snow Needle Immortal Bud beforehand.


    ¡°Without the Sect Leader¡¯s support and the private transmission of Core Formation Insights, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have succeeded.¡±


    Yue Zutao clearly knew what the biggest reason for his successful Core Formation was.


    Thus, after forming his Core, he still held immense respect for Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai asked him if there were any doubts about his Cultivation after forming his Core, and after answering them all, granted him the complete version of the Longevity Scripture.


    This was revised by Zhou Shengqing after his Nascent Soul Formation, and it was the first truly successful Wood Attribute Nascent Soul Cultivation Method of the Five Elements Sect.


    After receiving it, Yue Zutao scanned it with his Divine Sense. Seeing that the Nascent Soul Formation content was also included, he was very excited.


    This represented that the highest heritage of the sect had been fully entrusted to him.


    ¡°I have a plan related to the future of our sect for hundreds of years. Previously, due to the lack of someone to control and execute it, it has been on hold. Now that you have formed your Core, I want to entrust this plan to you. Are you willing?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Just command me, Sect Leader!¡±


    Hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s response, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction, then spoke about the plans involving the Five Elements Commerce Association.


    ¡°When I was serving as the Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, I also thought about this issue. Our Five Elements Sect occupies the Eastern Wilderness. If we want to continue to grow and develop, even to support your further advancement to form a Nascent Soul, we must definitely step out of the Barren and interact with the other major sects of the Eastern Region.¡±


    However, to his surprise, Yue Zutao had also long considered this point. He also shared his own ideas about the Five Elements Commerce Association, and Chen Mobai felt that he had indeed chosen the right person.


    Although he also had a wealth of financial theories, under the relatively primitive commercial models of the Tianhe Realm, it was still necessary to have Yue Zutao, a local well-versed in various customs, to control it for there to be a chance of success.

 Chapter 1436 - Chapter 1436 Chapter 760 Experience (7K)_3

    Chapter 1436: Chapter 760: Experience (7K)_3 Chapter 1436: Chapter 760: Experience (7K)_3 Business isn¡¯t simple; having good products doesn¡¯t necessarily mean you can succeed in it.


    There are many complexities involved, especially in a place like the Tianhe Realm where there are almost no rules, requiring an exceptionally capable leader to ensure there are no losses.


    The success of Chen Mobai¡¯s Little Nan Mountain Shop is largely due to the backing of him being the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, the largest sect in the Eastern Desolation.


    With such backing, he was able to rely on good products to make a fortune across the Nineteen Prefectures of the Eastern Desolation.


    ¡°You take my order, go within the sect and choose the people you need ¨C if this succeeds, when I retire, the position of Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall will be yours.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao was visibly excited.


    Within the Five Elements Sect, the status of the Three Great Hall Masters is the highest.


    In the future, if resources helpful for Core Formation are listed, he could also have the advantage of being the first to access them like the saying ¡®a waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first.¡¯


    ¡°This Qingzhu Yin Xu Sword and the Demonic Beast Inner Armor are specially refined for you; once you¡¯ve achieved Core Formation, you can unleash their power.¡±


    At last, Chen Mobai took out an offensive and a defensive Rank-3 Magic Artifact, handing them over to an extremely excited Yue Zutao.


    He had been thinking that after setting up the Five Elements Commerce Association and leaving the Eastern Desolation, he might go to the East Barbarians or East Land to purchase a Rank-3 Magic Artifact for himself.


    He didn¡¯t expect that the Sect Leader had already prepared them for him!


    This made him feel a surge of loyalty, as if willing to die for one who understands him.


    ¡°Thank you Sect Leader for this treasure!¡±


    In his excitement, Chen Mobai taught him the mantra for cultivating the magic artifacts, which Yue Zutao memorized every word, even engraving them immediately onto a jade slip.


    Chen Mobai also discussed other goods they could offer, such as Rank-1 talisman papers and talisman ink produced by the puppet factory.


    These are essential for penetrating the markets of the East Barbarians and even the East Soil, where the industrial products from Immortal Gate will definitely strike effectively.


    This strategy was already proven in the Eastern Desolation.


    Now, all the low-level workshops for talisman paper and talisman ink in the Eastern Desolation had disappeared completely.


    It¡¯s all monopolized by the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    In addition to talisman paper and ink, Chen Mobai suggested examining other Spiritual Objects within the Five Elements Meridians, like the Green-sun Fire and Longevity Tree Sap, and recommended Yue Zutao to promote these items as completely natural and pollution-free, ensuring Cultivators can refine and consume them confidently.


    Though Yue Zutao had a limited understanding, he still took note of it.


    Beyond that, Chen Mobai also prepared the Immortal Peach Fruit and Appearance-fixing Pearl, but emphasized that the Five Elements Commerce Association should keep a low profile when moving outside; these items should not be introduced initially.


    The Immortal Peach Fruit is relatively straightforward as it only enhances Spiritual Power and, although marketed as free from Danless Poison, he guessed it would only be slightly more precious than ordinary elixirs since the cultivators in Tianhe Realm weren¡¯t extremely fearful of Dan Poison.


    The cultivators here rarely enhance without the use of drugs.


    However, the Appearance-fixing Pearl was different. Chen Mobai had learned that similar treasures exist in the Tianhe Realm but are extremely precious, almost fetching the price of a Fourth-order Elixir.


    After all, female cultivators who hear about the possibility of eternal youth tend to go crazy.


    However, currently, the pearls are still in the Jumang Academy¡¯s Spirit Pool, and because Chen Mobai had produced twenty at once, he would need to wait until the end of the year to transport them.


    Additionally, due to Qing Nu¡¯s arrival, Chen Mobai also planned to include various elixirs from Immortal Gate into the product catalog.


    Eventually, whether it¡¯s various elixirs, they could be unlocked for sale step by step as Qing Nu¡¯s cultivation level increased, along with the power of the Five Elements Sect.


    Now led by Yue Zutao, the main goal of the Five Elements Commerce Association leaving the Eastern Desolation is to establish a solid foothold in the vast regions of the East Continent.


    Backed by the rise in the Five Elements Sect¡¯s power, they aim to gradually list elixirs and talismans appropriate to their increasing capabilities.


    Chen Mobai pondered that after he and Qing Nu achieved Nascent Soul Formation, they could start to sell the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill and the Five Elements Golden Core Pill, and if he managed to reach Divinity Transformation, they would add the Nascent Soul Three Spirits Medicine.


    Step by step, progressively!


    After Yue Zutao left, Chen Mobai called for Ma Wuniang, the head of the Spirit Beast Department.


    Previously, Chen Mobai had brought out the Devouring Heaven Serpent from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, managed by Zhuo Ming before her departure. After she left, this task was entrusted to the Spirit Beast Department.


    As the Sect Leader¡¯s spirit pet, Ma Wuniang naturally exerted utmost care and effort.


    Chen Mobai thought of Devouring Heaven Serpent as a soul vestige of Yang Jing, somewhat considering her as Qing Nu¡¯s younger sister, and intended to take her along to Mount Tianpeng for spiritual support.


    Soon after, Ma Wuniang arrived with a Spirit Beast Bag.


    Chen Mobai let the Devouring Heaven Serpent out, and he couldn¡¯t help mentioning how well it was kept, extremely plump and nearly twenty meters long.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, it coiled lazily together, and upon seeing Chen Mobai, it symbolically stretched its head forward and chuffed an apricot plum, expressing affection.


    ¡± Sect Leader, the Spirit Snake is at a critical point of transformation, overcoming this stage would allow her to upgrade to a Rank-2 Spirit Beast.¡±


    Because Chen Mobai had ordered that only wood attribute materials be fed to the Devouring Heaven Serpent to nurture its potential towards the properties of an Azure Dragon, Ma Wuniang could only feed it melons, fruits, and Lingye.


    Despite these circumstances, managing to raise it well wasn¡¯t a small task for Ma Wuniang.


    ¡°Hmm, good job, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±

 Chapter 1437 - Chapter 1437 Chapter 760 Appreciation (7K)_4

    Chapter 1437: Chapter 760: Appreciation (7K)_4 Chapter 1437: Chapter 760: Appreciation (7K)_4 Chen Mobai calculated that it had been exactly fifty years since the Devouring Heaven Serpent came into his possession.


    In such a short period of time, it had grown to the peak of Rank-1, which was already considered rapid growth for a demonic beast.


    After rewarding Ma Wuniang, Chen Mobai placed the Devouring Heaven Serpent back into the Spirit Beast Bag and then went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Little Dust really should have told me about this!¡±


    Upon hearing that this was a task assigned by Kong Feichen to his split spirit Yang Jing, Qing Nu immediately began to complain about her brother. After all, she was also at the Jumang Academy at that time and the task could have been given to her.


    ¡°This Devouring Heaven Serpent is ultimately a product of the Ascension Sect, he must have been worried that the Immortal Gate would suspect you because of it.¡±


    Chen Mobai rarely spoke up for Kong Feichen.


    ¡°That still shouldn¡¯t mean that you have to take this risk. If it weren¡¯t for your Void Spirit Body, nurturing Jing¡¯er and being discovered by people from the Immortal Gate would surely affect your future development in the Three Great Halls.¡±


    Qing Nu continued to berate Kong Feichen, this brother of hers never gave her a moment¡¯s peace.


    ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll take you to see the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard!¡±


    Chen Mobai decisively changed the subject.


    ¡°Actually, as long as I¡¯m with you, it doesn¡¯t really matter where we are.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu blushed and made such a statement.


    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, indicating that since he had the ability, he must provide her with the best cultivation conditions.


    Qing Nu placed the Devouring Heaven Serpent into the Spirit Beast Bag, then took one last reluctant look at the wooden house where she had lived for half a year, and holding Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, left the place.


    Outside, the rich spiritual energy of the Superior Quality Fourth Grade Longevity Wood Dojo revitalized Qing Nu, making her take several deep breaths.


    ¡°This Giant Tree Ridge is the main camp of the Wood Vein of my Five Elements Sect, I originally joined the Divine Wood Sect here, step by step developing and elevating myself.¡±


    Steering the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Chen Mobai flew up into the sky with Qing Nu, then pointed continuously at the lower expanses of medicine and spirit fields, introducing them.


    ¡°That over there is my Xiao Nanshan, which is also a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein. I transplanted an Immortal Peach Tree on the mountain top, which was originally Third Grade, but has now been transformed by me into Fourth Grade.¡±


    In the midst of their conversation, Chen Mobai landed with Qing Nu on the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai wanted to pick a ripe Third Grade Immortal Peach Fruit for her to taste, but Qing Nu immediately stopped this action.


    She had already achieved Foundation Establishment Completion, and consuming more would not enhance her further.


    ¡°This peach fruit is actually quite delicious.¡±


    Chen Mobai was aware of this fact; he wanted Qing Nu to taste the flavor of the spirit fruit.


    But Qing Nu resolutely shook her head and refused¨Cthe Third Grade Immortal Peach Fruit could be sold for tens of millions of Good Deed Points at the Immortal Gate.


    It must not be wasted so!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai simply laughed and picked one regardless.


    ¡°Besides enhancing spiritual power, this Immortal Peach Fruit can also improve your Spiritual Root; I hope it can boost your Water Spiritual Root Value to 100 points.¡±


    Hearing this, and seeing that Chen Mobai had already picked it, Qing Nu had no choice but to accept it.


    Starting this year, Chen Mobai had already instructed the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to stop putting this spirit fruit on the market until after Qing Nu finished eating them.


    After eating the Third Grade and Fourth Grade Immortal Peach Fruits, together with the Azure Blood Carp, Qing Nu¡¯s Heavenly Water Spiritual Root would certainly be upgraded to Immortal Water Spiritual Root.


    Although he was unaware of the benefits of an Immortal Spirit Root, since he had the ability to enhance it, he would definitely max out Qing Nu¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Qing Nu, whose thinking had not yet shifted from the Immortal Gate¡¯s perspective, regarded these items as very precious, carefully cast a preservation spell on the spirit fruit, then stored it in her Storage Bag.


    Chen Mobai saw this scene, and with a smile, he took her around the bamboo grove and tea garden on the mid-mountain, where Rank-3 Pure Bamboo, Rank-3 Green Charm Spiritual Tea, Snow Needle Immortal Bud, and Enlightenment White Tea all amazed her.


    At the foot of the mountain, however, the endless expanse of ten thousand acres of Spirit Fields seemed somewhat commonplace to her.


    The scale of cultivation of this Spirit Rice, compared to that of the Immortal Gate, was truly smaller.


    After visiting Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai then led Qing Nu away from Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°These three Fourth Order Spirit Plants are of the same species as the Talent Tree and Magic Treasure Tree in the Divine Wood Realm!¡±


    Flying mid-air, Qing Nu pointed to the three Everlife Woods, and Chen Mobai nodded before beginning his introduction with his own.


    ¡°That one is Senior Brother Fu¡¯s arena, and the furthest and last one belongs to Senior Brother Zhou, who is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the one with the highest cultivation level in our Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Hearing the words ¡®Nascent Soul¡¯, admiration appeared on Qing Nu¡¯s face, mixed with some concern.


    ¡°Will it cause them to suspect if you bring a stranger like me into the secret realms and large formations?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t worry, as long as I¡¯m not trying to split the Five Elements Sect, they will support whatever I do.¡±


    Chen Mobai briefly explained his achievements and status over the years in the Five Elements Sect, causing Qing Nu¡¯s eyes to flash with brilliance.


    ¡°So, in this world, you have such grand and magnificent achievements!¡±


    ¡°Having been educated by the Immortal Gate since childhood, I dislike division, so since joining the sect, I have always been preparing for unification. As of today, the Eastern Wilderness has unified the mortal world, and in the Cultivation World, only Back to Sky Valley remains¨Ca modest achievement indeed.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with humble pride, and Qing Nu, with a face full of admiration, asked about his expeditions to unify the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai seemed to open a floodgate, endlessly narrating his actions in the Eastern Wilderness over the years.


    Although he had made immortal fame here, he was lonely.


    Because he had no one to share it with!


    Even though he had senior brothers, friends, disciples, etc., the secret deep in his heart¨Cthat he came from the Immortal Gate¨Ccould not be shared with anyone.


    But now, Qing Nu had arrived.


    The achievements he had hidden in his heart for over fifty years could finally be expressed freely.


    Because Chen Mobai¡¯s achievements in the Eastern Wilderness were too numerous, by the time they reached Tianpeng Mountain, he had only just roughly finished recounting them.


    By this time, Chen Mobai¡¯s desire to share had almost completely dissipated.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, this is the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard!¡±


    He descended with his Red Misty Cloud Silk, and Wei Qiurong immediately flew over with an Escaping Light.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader, and to this Fellow Daoist!¡±


    She didn¡¯t know how to address Qing Nu, but knowing she was a friend invited by Chen Mobai, her attitude was very respectful, though her eyes still carried confusion.


    After all, Qing Nu was not a Golden Core Cultivator, and in her view, only someone of equal realm to the Sect Leader could qualify as his friend.


    ¡°This is Qing Nu, my dearest friend. She is here at my invitation to look after the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple; whatever she needs, you must satisfy.¡±


    With these words from Chen Mobai, this was equivalent to the highest command, and Wei Qiurong immediately nodded seriously, then bowed to Qing Nu.

    ¡°Fellow Daoist Qing, my name is Wei Qiurong; here is my Message Talisman.¡±


    Qing Nu found the concept of this primitive communication talisman intriguing, and Chen Mobai explained it to her through voice transmission before she realized it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take Qing Nu up for a look first.¡±


    Letting Wei Qiurong wait at the base of the mountain, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu together reached the summit.


    It was then that Qing Nu first learned, this world, indeed has Heavenly Tribulation.

 Chapter 1438 - Chapter 1438 Chapter 761 Expressing Intentions (7K)

    Chapter 1438: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K) Chapter 1438: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K) Qing Nu looked at the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple on the mountaintop, still with large patches of scorched bark, and as Chen Mobai spoke of the Heavenly Tribulation, Dead Wood Meets Spring, Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and so on, she couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of astonishment in her eyes.


    ¡°Why would there be Heavenly Tribulations in this world?¡±


    Chen Mobai briefly shared his conjecture¨Cthe Heavenly Tribulation is a manifestation of disaster formed by the condensation of nature¡¯s spiritual energy. And because all the spiritual energy of the Immortal Gate is controlled by the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network, it would not generate Heavenly Tribulations.


    ¡°Does that mean that the Immortal Gate is special, and all other different worlds outside the Immortal Gate should have Heavenly Tribulations?¡±


    Qing Nu asked again. Chen Mobai thought for a moment and shook his head; he could not provide an answer.


    ¡°It is also possible that the Tianhe Realm is unique. Maybe the rest of the worlds, apart from this one, do not have Heavenly Tribulations.¡±


    The two left the question at that. Should a third different world come along for verification, they would likely find the answer.


    Qing Nu was a distinguished graduate of Jumang Academy. Although she didn¡¯t master All Things Spiritual Communication or Echoes in the Void, her own expertise as a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master was already sufficient. After Chen Mobai informed her of various details regarding the care of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, she would have no problem tending to it.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai deployed the Wooden House Talisman, which he placed on the summit of Mount Tianpeng.


    He also set up a Cloud Mist Array to envelop the area, protecting his and Qing Nu¡¯s privacy.


    For the next month, Chen Mobai also stayed on Mount Tianpeng, mainly to accompany Qing Nu as she adapted to the new environment.


    While taking care of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, Liu Jingxian, the Patriarch Liu, paid a visit.


    He brought along ten Azure Blood Carps, following Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    The eldest disciple had gone to Dongwu, and apart from seeking heterodox Golden Cores, he was also looking into ways to expand the business routes of the Little Nan Mountain Shop.


    Since both Tianpeng Mountain and the Liu family were located in Cloud County, Chen Mobai directly asked Liu Jingxian to deliver the fish.


    Chen Mobai had consumed the Azure Blood Carp multiple times before, totaling an increase of 8 points to his Water Spirit Root.


    Consuming more afterward proved to be useless.


    ¡°So it turns out that the fish I ate back then came from here. But, no, if the Azure Blood Carp can enhance the Water Spirit Root, why didn¡¯t my Spirit Root show any change during the academy entrance test after consuming it so many times?¡±


    Atop Mount Tianpeng, after trying a mouthful of the fish stewed by Chen Mobai, Qing Nu revealed a look of sudden realization but then asked with confusion.


    ¡°For each Azure Blood Carp, only after a single cultivator has consumed the entire thing can it enhance the Water Spirit Root. The more people who eat it, the more the effect is diluted. That is why even if you eat it several times, you cannot complete the full effect to enhance your Spiritual Root.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled upon hearing this and explained the reason.


    He was prudent; after learning about the Azure Blood Carp¡¯s effect, he ate it with his parents. Later, he checked with the Spirit-Testing Instruments and found this particular detail.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. No wonder every time you invited me to eat fish, you were also bringing along your classmates like Yan Bingxuan.¡±


    After hearing the explanation, Qing Nu finally understood why, back in Red Sandstone City, whenever she and Chen Mobai had their delightful dates, he would always bring along third wheels like Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°According to my experience, each Azure Blood Carp can permanently enhance the Water Spirit Root by 1 point. I¡¯ll use the Spirit-Testing Instruments to test you again tomorrow.¡±


    The next day, Chen Mobai took special initiative to find the old model of Spirit-Testing Instruments, which he hadn¡¯t used for a long time, from his Storage Bag.


    ¡°Do you still remember? You sold this to me back then. Although its response is quite slow now, I¡¯ve always kept it.¡±


    Seeing the severely aged Spirit-Testing Instruments in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, Qing Nu was deeply touched and couldn¡¯t help but throw herself into his embrace once again.


    Enjoying the warm touch of her delicate body, Chen Mobai took hold of Qing Nu¡¯s snow-white right hand, letting her channel Spiritual Power into it.


    Several minutes later, the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments displayed the values of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.


    [Gold 4, Wood 8, Water 82, Fire 1, Earth 23].


    The typical value of a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, yet the total sum reached 118 points, which astonished Chen Mobai.


    ¡°When I first entered the academy, I had thoughts about Lasting Spring Cultivation, so I practiced the Earth Gathering Art, and later, wishing to be as renowned as you, I did not give up and had cultivated it to the Ninth Layer.¡±


    Qing Nu, nestled in Chen Mobai¡¯s arms, spoke with a hint of pride.


    In the resource-deprived environment of the Immortal Gate, being able to cultivate the Earth Gathering Art to the Ninth Layer showed tremendous diligence.


    Judging by the time, she certainly never neglected this Spirit Root Enhancement Technique since her Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Not bad at all, keep it up. The Eastern Wilderness here also contains Qi of Dragon Vein. I will ask my two disciples to gather materials later on, and then you can try refining a batch of Earth Veins Elixir for consumption.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In reality, Chen Mobai had surplus Earth Veins Elixir, but according to Immortal Gate standards, these were not up to par, and he planned to leave them for Zhuo Ming, as there was no need to worry about Dan Poison with Green Charm Spiritual Tea available.


    But if Qing Nu could refine Earth Veins Elixir without Dan Poison, why bother consuming his substandard products?


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that even with Earth Veins Elixir, to raise my Earth Spirit Root to over 80 points would at least require Core Formation, probably even Nascent Soul Realm.¡±


    At that moment, Qing Nu also realized why Chen Mobai wanted her to apply to view the original Lasting Spring Cultivation text¨Cclearly, he hoped she would succeed in practice.


    But a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root, truly, was extremely difficult to achieve.

 Chapter 1439 - Chapter 1439 Chapter 761 Expressing Intentions (7K)_2

    Chapter 1439: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K)_2 Chapter 1439: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K)_2 ¡°In the Eastern Wilderness, there are many ores suitable for practicing the Earth Gathering Art, such as this Life Stone, which can directly refine and enhance the Earth Spirit Root, as well as more profound Qi of Creation¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai shared his own experience of enhancing his Earth Spirit Root, and as Qing Nu listened, she became increasingly astonished at the abundance of resources in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Then your Earth Spirit Root must have a very high value now, right?¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai smiled faintly, then channeled his Spiritual Power into the palm-held Spirit-Testing Instrument.


    A few minutes later, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the displayed Five Elements Spiritual Root Value.


    ¡°Probably by next year, my Nine Suns Physique will be able to complete its first transformation. By then, my fire spiritual roots value could be raised to 100 points. I wonder what the benefits of an Immortal Fire Spirit Root are?¡±


    After showing off his substantial Spiritual Root Value, Chen Mobai patted Qing Nu, who was in his arms, indicating that the second Azure Blood Carp was cooked and ready to eat.


    ¡°I once attended a lecture by the Three Extremes Sage at Jumang Academy, where the relationship between Spiritual Roots and the human body was explained. It was said that a Cultivator had raised his Spiritual Root Value to 100 points and experienced a ¡®Hearing the Path¡¯.¡±


    The incident mentioned by Qing Nu caught Chen Mobai¡¯s attention.


    During his own Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, he had directly obtained a Fire Spirit Body, and as a result, he found the cultivation of Fire Attribute Techniques and arts almost effortlessly successful.


    Could he experience Hearing the Path again and if so, could the effects stack?


    These were things that Qing Nu did not know.


    After all, the Three Extremes Sage had only casually mentioned that in class as an anecdote for them to listen to.


    Chen Mobai also remembered something Wen Ren Xuewei had mentioned, that most studies on Immortal Spirit Roots were held at the Repairing Heaven Institute while a smaller portion was at the Imperial Medical Academy.


    It seems after returning to the Immortal Gate, he would need to find a way to look up this information.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai started to recall his experience in enhancing the Wood Spirit Root.


    He immediately instructed Wei Qiurong at the foot of the mountain to procure Jade bamboo shoots from Green Bamboo Ridge.


    The next morning, Chen Mobai re-measured Qing Nu¡¯s Water Spirit Root and found that it had only increased by 1 point after consuming two fish.


    He had thought that no matter how many more fish were eaten at one time, the increase would still be limited to just 1 point.


    That day, he only cooked one fish for Qing Nu, but upon testing on the third day, he found that there had been no increase at all.


    After numerous experiments, Chen Mobai had Liu Jingxian deliver another ten fish and had Wei Qiurong eat a few as well. He and Qing Nu kept summarizing their findings and eventually came to a conclusion.


    The Azure Blood Carp was indeed useful for enhancing the Water Spirit Root, but the effect was weaker for Cultivators with higher Water Spirit Root Values.


    For Qing Nu, who already possessed a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, it took two fish to just barely raise her value by 1 point, and after reaching an increase of 4 points, even if she consumed second-rank Azure Blood Carps, they could no longer offer her any further enhancement.


    Chen Mobai felt a slight disappointment but didn¡¯t dwell on it.


    After all, aside from Azure Blood Carp, there were plenty of aquatic products that could enhance Water Spirit Roots in Yun Meng Ze.


    Additionally, there was the Immortal Peach Fruit.


    That morning, Chen Mobai woke up Qing Nu, who was naked in his arms, and measured her Spiritual Root Value again. Seeing the value of water at 88, he couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly.


    If quality isn¡¯t sufficient, quantity will compensate.


    The great tide of demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze had already begun to subside this year, so at his command, various aquatic products capable of enhancing the Water Spirit Root were personally delivered to her by the Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect in water tubs.


    Moreover, Qing Nu had also consumed her first third-rank Immortal Peach Fruit yesterday. This Spirit Fruit was of high quality, and its effect was not diminished for her, increasing earth, water, and wood by 1 point each.


    All that was left was to wait for Qing Nu¡¯s Core Formation before she could consume a fourth-rank Immortal Peach Fruit, making the Immortal Water Spirit Root almost assured.


    Having resolved this matter, Chen Mobai felt much more at ease.


    ¡°I¡¯m heading back to the Immortal Gate, and I¡¯ll leave this place in your care.¡±


    That day, after watching Qing Nu finish eating her stir-fried fish with Jade bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai bid farewell to her.


    Qing Nu¡¯s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but she knew that the man before her was different and that he had many commitments back at the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°Okay, I will take care of things here, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Qing Nu suppressed her emotions and said to Chen Mobai with a smile.


    During this time, the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple had already absorbed half a jar of diluted Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. The previously scorched and dead bark had completely shed, revealing a tree trunk revived with new vigor.


    However, after its rebirth, this Ancient Maple was only at the ordinary third-rank level, and it might take a very long time to recover to the Fourth Stage Pinnacle.


    This was due to the effect of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. Otherwise, Chen Mobai estimated that the revived Spirit Plant would have only been at best Second Order High Grade.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But for Chen Mobai, this was already enough.


    After all, he would need the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple only after reaching Nascent Soul Formation.


    Chen Mobai left a jar and a half of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for Qing Nu and then held her, who was dressed in an ancient-style dress, in his arms for a long time before he reluctantly left Mount Tianpeng.


    The feelings between the two had naturally become a matter of course. Qing Nu¡¯s willingness to follow Chen Mobai to the Tianhe Realm had already revealed her intentions, and during their time in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they had both expressed their feelings openly to each other.


    Chen Mobai also promised Qing Nu that at an appropriate time, he would hold the ceremony to become Daoist couple with her in this world, announcing it to the whole Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 1440 - Chapter 1440 Chapter 761 Expressing Intentions (7K)_3

    Chapter 1440: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K)_3 Chapter 1440: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K)_3 Qing Nu, however, expressed that as long as she could be with him, that was enough; nothing else mattered.


    But because Qing Nu¡¯s Original Yin was very important for her cultivation, the two had not yet broken through the final barrier.


    However, this matter was not a challenge for the experienced Chen Mobai.


    Before Qing Nu reached Foundation Establishment, she had already mastered the critical technique. With her talent and the reverse deduction over the past half-year, combined with Chen Mobai¡¯s personal guidance, she had finally mastered the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret a few days ago.


    With no more concerns, they had already tried that sort of thing during their time in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Qing Nu¡¯s reaction the first time made Chen Mobai feel an unprecedented passion.


    This was something he had never experienced before¨Ca union filled with affection and nearly a hundred percent spiritual compatibility.


    When Qing Nu came from the Immortal Gate, the pair of black silk stockings that she wore on her long legs made a ripping sound in his hands.


    In the wooden cabin of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai did not leave the room for three days and nights.


    Since that day, Qing Nu, in order to conform to local customs, started wearing ancient-style long dresses or cheongsam, which Chen Mobai found even more attractive.


    And it was for this reason that he had no time for Meng Huang during that period.


    ¡°Maybe, we¡¯ll leave tomorrow¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai was about to leave riding on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± he saw the tall and elegant Qing Nu and suddenly asked the question, and she immediately looked up, her face and eyes filled with joy.


    That night, the summit of Mount Tianpeng was sleepless once more.


    The next day, with great willpower, Chen Mobai released Qing Nu, who was only wearing a pure white bellyband from his embrace. Amidst her reluctant gaze, he quickly dressed himself and left swiftly using the Underworld Array.


    ¡­


    ¡°Chief Director, these matters all need to be dealt with as soon as possible!¡±


    In the headquarters of the Sky-Mending Group, Lin Yin handed a large pile of files to Chen Mobai, who had just emerged from seclusion, looking somewhat exhausted.


    As the deputy chief director, in Qing Nu¡¯s absence, she had to take up the work of Chen Mobai¡¯s secretary and had not had any rest or sleep for an entire month.


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally noticed the dark circles suddenly appearing under Lin Yin¡¯s eyes and felt a bit sorry.


    After all, during this period, he had used his cultivation breakthrough as an excuse to seclude himself, but in reality, he was playing the role of a blissful immortal couple with Qing Nu at Mount Tianpeng.


    Although he was accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper, he still felt somewhat guilty for pushing his subordinates to such an extent.


    ¡°Chief Director, if this continues, I can only resign.¡±


    Lin Yin was also at her limit.


    As a Foundation Establishment Practitioner serving as the deputy chief director, she was actually somewhat overburdened. During Chen Mobai¡¯s seclusion, she was almost solely in charge of the management and operation of the Sky-Mending Group, but because the department knew too many secrets, the Golden Core Masters from The Three Great Halls would occasionally come to say hello.


    After all, every family has an unruly child or two. According to the rules of the Immortal Gate, if one is brought into the Department of Law Enforcement, then it must be made public to the entire Immortal Gate community.


    However, because of the special status of the Sky-Mending Group, it can keep the cases it handles confidential.


    Therefore, the higher-ups from The Three Great Halls frequently would come to greet and ask the Sky-Mending Group to help cover things up.


    Lin Yin dared not offend any of these people but also dared not make any promises because Chen Mobai did not like these practices.


    However, only Chen Mobai could refuse them, so during the time of his seclusion, the pressure on Lin Yin was tremendous.


    ¡°See if there is anyone suitable in the group for promotion.¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to find a secretary similar to Qing Nu. Because Qing Nu was unattached and only listened to Chen Mobai, she was very decisive in refusing the advances of unacquainted Golden Core Masters.


    Lin Yin had been waiting for him to say this and immediately mentioned a few names.


    Among them, the one Chen Mobai was most familiar with was naturally Zhongli Yi, who, after failing at Core Formation, came back to the Sky-Mending Group. She was previously the deputy head of the fourth group, a friend of Qing Nu, and also from the Zhongli family. Logically, she would be the most suitable.


    But who knew, as soon as she heard about being Chen Mobai¡¯s secretary, she immediately shook her head and refused.


    The reason was very sufficient.


    ¡°Chief Director, as you know, our family has a long history, and our network is immensely complicated. Any councilor from The Three Great Halls can easily find connections with our family. When they pass a message, how can I dare reject it!¡±


    After hearing Zhongli Yi¡¯s complaints, Chen Mobai understood.


    Those with family backgrounds could not act as decisively as Qing Nu did.


    It seemed that he would have to find someone with no background or someone who was solely loyal to him.


    Regrettably, there was no such person in the Sky-Mending Group!


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to recruit from outside.


    Lin Yin had no objections to this, but she subtly reminded him that the Sky-Mending Group, being a secretive department within the Immortal Gate, had a mediocre reputation, and with a high death rate and high entry barriers, it was not easy to recruit.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai was well prepared for this.


    He clearly understood the biggest reliance he had to occupy his current position.


    Therefore, this new recruit must also be a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which naturally meant they would be on the same side as him, and preferably someone of commoner background, without any complex connections within the Immortal Gate.


    If it was someone he was familiar with, all the better!


    After considering these conditions, Chen Mobai quickly thought of two people.

 Chapter 1441 - Chapter 1441 Chapter 761 Expressing Feelings (7K)_4

    Chapter 1441: Chapter 761: Expressing Feelings (7K)_4 Chapter 1441: Chapter 761: Expressing Feelings (7K)_4 At first, when he was the president of the student council at Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had two secretaries in succession!


    Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan!


    Under his command, Lin Yin quickly accessed the archives of the two women through the channels of the Sky-Mending Group.


    Among them, Hua Zijing is now serving as the head of the office at the Land Management Bureau in Huayang Cave Heaven. Among the graduates of Dance Tool Dao Academy, she is considered above average.


    After all, she is already officially employed as a civil servant.


    If the relationships are strong enough, she could exchange her years of service for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine later on.


    As for Zhuang Jialan, after graduation, she joined the Talisman Masters Association and is now the president of the local Talisman Masters Association in Blessed Earth City. Although she is also a public official technically, she could probably only exchange for the Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    After reviewing the information of the two women, Chen Mobai first made a phone call to Hua Zijing.


    ¡°Hello¡­¡±


    While idling in her office, Hua Zijing¡¯s phone screen lit up with the number that hadn¡¯t been active for decades. She picked up the call with a tremble, suppressing her excitement and greeted first.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, I now need a secretary. If you come, I can ensure you get a Golden Liquid Jade Pill after sixty years of service.¡±


    After exchanging formalities, Chen Mobai directly cut to the chase, stating the purpose of his call.


    ¡°It might not be very convenient for me to change my position now!¡±


    After hearing this, Hua Zijing only thought it through briefly, realizing this was a rare opportunity to jump out of her current circle, and immediately gave a tacit response.


    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange it!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s reply made her heart bloom with joy, and then she hummed in affirmation, expressing her agreement to become his secretary.


    ¡°You might start packing your luggage, as my work here is quite busy. Be prepared mentally.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll seize this heaven-sent opportunity!¡±


    Hua Zijing responded most enthusiastically.


    Chen Mobai smiled and hung up the phone, then hesitated for a while.


    He actually needed only one secretary, but having two wasn¡¯t a problem, especially since he would need to rise higher in the future and cultivating someone from within to control the Sky-Mending Group was very important.


    Wunai City!


    As a city near Huayang Cave Heaven and famous for producing exceptional Talisman Paper.


    As the president of the local Talisman Masters Association, Zhuang Jialan, after verifying the quality of one hundred Rank-2 Talisman Papers to be sent to Huayang Cave Heaven, took off her glasses wearily, applied some Clear Eye Spirit Dew, and stretched out her slender fingers to massage her overused eyes.


    Ding-a-ling!


    At that moment, the phone rang.


    Zhuang Jialan frowned slightly, helplessly opened her eyes, thinking it was the representatives from Huayang Cave Heaven urging the swift delivery of the Talisman Papers.


    Considering that she still needed the Talisman Masters Association to access Gold Core Spiritual Material, she had to suppress her irritation and sighed while opening her eyes.


    As she picked up her phone, ready to answer, she saw the name on the caller ID and immediately became alert and refreshed.


    ¡°Jialan, it¡¯s been so long, how have you been lately?¡±


    Upon answering the call, Chen Mobai¡¯s cheerful voice came through, making Zhuang Jialan feel flattered.


    Just after graduation, she would still make a phone call or send a text message during holidays and festivals.


    But as Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level grew higher, and especially after achieving Core Formation, Zhuang Jialan consciously stopped this behavior.


    She felt she was no longer worthy to contact him.


    The most recent message had been about thirty-seven years ago, when Chen Mobai successfully established his Golden Core Domain while in the Foundation Building Realm. After hearing this news, she couldn¡¯t help feeling excited and proud, and sent him a congratulatory text message.


    Chen Mobai had replied with a simple ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Since then, the next contact was this current phone call.


    Furthermore, it was Chen Mobai who had initiated the call!


    Suppressing her own excited feelings, Zhuang Jialan started chatting with Chen Mobai, mainly about various trivial matters at the Talisman Masters Association. Originally, she thought that after graduation she could pursue her interests here while also accumulating service years to enhance her professional knowledge and skills.


    However, what followed was a repetitive and monotonous daily grind, year after year.


    Within the Immortal Gate, there were too many Foundation Establishment Practitioners lined up waiting for Gold Core Spiritual Material, with hundreds of individuals just from the Dance Tool Dao Academy alone in front of her, despite her having already reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment a long time ago.


    Moreover, this number was increasing each year.


    It wasn¡¯t as though getting in line guaranteed anything; she could be bypassed.


    Many people behind her managed to skip ahead through various complex, yet faultless operations.


    So, by the end of the conversation, once Chen Mobai extended an invitation, Zhuang Jialan hesitated only for a second before nodding her head in agreement immediately.


    At the Talisman Masters Association, she might have to wait one hundred and twenty years just to qualify for a chance to exchange for Gold Core Spiritual Material, but joining the Sky-Mending Group only required sixty years, and might even secure a Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    This opportunity effectively offered several times her current salary and conditions.


    Furthermore, Zhuang Jialan felt that given this chance, she was even willing to pay out of her own pocket to work for the Sky-Mending Group.


    ¡°Joining the Sky-Mending Group requires a test, but I will arrange everything for you. Please send me a digital copy of your resume. Once you arrive at Wangwu Cave Heaven, I will have someone pick you up, and you will probably start working with Zijing.¡±


    Hearing that Hua Zijing, a school senior, had also been invited, Zhuang Jialan inexplicably felt a sense of loss; she wasn¡¯t the only one!


    However, after hanging up the phone, she immediately put on her glasses and started arranging her resignation.


    ¡°President Zhuang, why are you resigning all of a sudden? Is it because the pressure from delivering talisman paper lately is too high? Young people should not slack off like this. If you can¡¯t handle these small things, how can I promote you for exchanging Gold Core Spiritual Material in the future!¡±


    Soon after, a director in charge of coordinating with her from the Huayang Cave Heaven Talisman Masters Association called her, starting the conversation in a fairly calm manner but gradually beginning to pressurize.


    ¡°Director Guo, I have been invited by a classmate to go to Wangwu Cave Heaven, please find someone else for this job.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan said in a calm tone.


    ¡°Classmate? Which classmate? Little Zhuang, I¡¯m considered a senior who led you into the association, listen to my advice¨Clife and work pressures are great in Wangwu Cave Heaven. Moreover, without a document issued by our general council, other departments won¡¯t recognize the service years you¡¯ve accumulated at the Talisman Masters Association. You¡¯re not young anymore; clearing forty-five years of service and, as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, not having enough lifespan to wait another one hundred and twenty years¡­¡±


    At first, Director Guo tried to subtly threaten her after hearing this.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Director Guo, this classmate and I are from the same cohort. Last year, he became one of the rotational members of the Kaiyuan Hall, a Major General of the Hall of Orthodox Law¡¯s Military Department, and the Deputy Director of the Department of Law Enforcement¡­¡±


    Zhuang Jialan simply mentioned these titles, sparing no more time.


    ¡°Hisss¡­ Commissioner Chen invited you!¡±


    Clearly, Director Guo immediately recognized which influential figure these positions represented and gasped in shock!


    ¡°Little Zhuang, why didn¡¯t you say so earlier! I¡¯ll immediately handle your resignation and service certificate. When are you going to Wangwu Cave Heaven? I¡¯ll personally deliver these documents to the airport and hand them to you¡­¡±

 Chapter 1442 - Chapter 1442 Chapter 762 Two Secretaries

    Chapter 1442: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries Chapter 1442: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries Lin Yin looked at the tall, spirited, and gracefully dignified Hua Zijing in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    This one clearly looked efficient and could definitely complete the job of the Head Secretary excellently.


    ¡°Hello, I am Hua Zijing!¡±


    Hua Zijing, seeing the flat-chested beauty in front of her wearing a black mask but obviously good-looking, extended her hand to introduce herself.


    ¡°Lin Yin.¡± Lin Yin shook hands, said her name, and then quickly let go, pointing to the sofa next to her and speaking, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a bit longer, there¡¯s another person to pick up.¡±


    The two women were now in a VIP lounge at the airport. Lin Yin had been arranged by Chen Mobai to pick up people, which also served as a rest for her, while Chen Mobai took the opportunity to clear up accumulated matters in the Sky-Mending Group.


    Although Hua Zijing wanted to converse, seeing Lin Yin¡¯s somewhat aloof nature, she fell silent.


    Soon, a woman with snow-white skin and delicate features entered, pushing her luggage; she was dressed in an elegantly colored floral dress and was slender.


    Hua Zijing was surprised at first when she saw her and then immediately realized, standing up to greet her.


    ¡°Long time no see, Jialan!¡±


    Compared to her elegant and youthful appearance in the Daoist Academy, Zhuang Jialan now carried a more intellectual charm; she had taken off her glasses today and applied bright eye makeup, her smooth long hair slightly curled, exuding an elegant and tranquil demeanor.


    [This one looks good too.]


    Lin Yin brightened up seeing Zhuang Jialan; the temperament cultivated through the years made everyone who saw her feel pleasant and comfortable.


    Hua Zijing had a more outstanding figure, but her appearance had a certain heroic bearing.


    However, if Lin Yin were to choose, she would hope to have Hua Zijing¡¯s figure, as she considered her own lacking in that respect.


    ¡°The Head Senior Group Manager has reserved a formal dinner for tonight, and there¡¯s still half a day left, would you two like to rest first?¡±


    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Yin spoke about today¡¯s arrangements.


    Chen Mobai was going to handle matters at Xianwu Hall today and wouldn¡¯t be available during the day.


    ¡°I heard that joining the Sky-Mending Group requires an evaluation. Do we have enough time if we go today?¡±


    Hua Zijing asked, mainly worried about potentially delaying tonight¡¯s meeting with Chen Mobai. Lin Yin naturally understood her meaning, checked the time, and nodded.


    ¡°The evaluation for your two¡¯s employment is specifically instructed by the Head Senior Group Manager, and the team members responsible for this are ready at any time.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go now; we can start the official work tomorrow and lighten his load.¡±


    Hua Zijing¡¯s resolute words made Lin Yin glance at her sideways.


    Zhuang Jialan, on the other hand, stood quietly with her luggage, nodding.


    Lin Yin made a call, then took both women with her.


    With prior notification from Chen Mobai, the two ladies naturally had the green light, and when they left the Sky-Mending Group, not only had they received their work badges, but even their files from various places had been submitted and completed.


    That evening.


    After dealing with a case regarding a public officer studying a Forbidden Technique, Chen Mobai invited Lan Haitian to join him for dinner.


    ¡°Secretary Lan, you must know Zijing, and if I¡¯m too busy in the future, I might ask Zijing to contact you.¡±


    At the dinner table, Chen Mobai introduced Hua Zijing, newly employed, to Lan Haitian.


    When Little Red Sky first began, Lan Haitian was invited to assist, and the Dance Tool Dao Academy gifted him a Lifebound Magic Artifact Embryo as a present¨Cback then, Hua Zijing was Chen Mobai¡¯s secretary.


    Golden Core Masters are almost always blessed with an exceptional memory, so on Chen Mobai¡¯s mention, Lan Haitian immediately recalled Hua Zijing serving dishes by his side.


    ¡°After Chen Mobai¡¯s smooth rise to power, he does not forget to help his classmates. Truly generous indeed!¡±


    Lan Haitian laughed and drank a toast with Chen Mobai, with Lin Yin and the three ladies, Hua Zijing, and Zhuang Jialan also raising their glasses at the table.


    Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, who had just joined that afternoon, watched the two men chatting lively in front of them and couldn¡¯t help but feel how much life¡¯s encounters could change.


    Yesterday, they were still repeating their incredibly boring and extremely burdensome work.


    Yet today, they were able to sit with some of the top few powerhouse individuals among The Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate.


    Even about to become part of their work soon, and becoming part of it themselves, this kind of drastic change encouraged the two women even more to seize this opportunity.


    After all, whether it¡¯s Chen Mobai or Lan Haitian, they both have great potential to become one of the Three Hall Masters in the future.


    If that day really comes, then as secretaries who rise through the ranks with Chen Mobai, they too might become Vice Hall Masters of The Three Great Halls, just like Ye Yun¡¯e now.


    In that case, even the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine would surely be within their grasp.


    Thinking this way, both Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan found their breathing slightly quickened.

    The chance to change their fate was right before their eyes, missing this opportunity would undoubtedly lead to lifelong regret!


    After the evening meal, Chen Mobai asked Lin Yin to send Lan Haitian back.


    And he had a reunion with his two old classmates.


    ¡°It¡¯s really been a very long time since we last met!¡±


    After moving to another lounge for a conversation, Chen Mobai first expressed his feelings; he had been too immersed in cultivation and developing the Five Elements Sect to realize that it had been over forty years since he last saw those classmates and friends from the Daoist Academy.

 Chapter 1443 - Chapter 1443 Chapter 762 Two Secretaries_2

    Chapter 1443: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_2 Chapter 1443: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_2 Even within the close-knit Metaphysical Class, it has been over twenty years since anyone last spoke out.


    The busiest it got was the day the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation success spread.


    That day, everyone was marveling at his extraordinary talent, and also calling for him to hand out red packets.


    That was also the moment Chen Mobai¡¯s vanity was most satisfied.


    Unfortunately, after Core Formation, the originally active group began to quiet down.


    Now, Chen Mobai was only in contact with Ming Yuhua, Yunyang Bing, and Wang Xingyu once a year.


    ¡°Thank you for still remembering us, for being willing to reach out to us two.¡±


    Hua Zijing raised a glass of wine, solemnly thanking Chen Mobai.


    Under the environment of the Immortal Gate, trading sixty years of service for Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was almost akin to being reborn.


    ¡°It¡¯s all within friends.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled as he clinked glasses with her, and then both drained their drinks.


    Zhuang Jialan, quiet on the side, picked up the opened bottle of wine and poured another round for both after they finished.


    After Chen Mobai thanked her, he began discussing future work arrangements.


    ¡°You two should also be familiar with the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s work content. Zijing will represent me from now on, in contact with various departments of The Three Great Halls.¡±


    ¡°Jialan will be in charge internally. All matters related to Sky-Mending Group Nine will eventually be summarized in your hands, and you and Lin Yin will deal directly with those you can handle.¡±


    ¡°If you encounter unsolvable problems, don¡¯t try to bear them alone, just tell me directly. It will definitely require some time to adjust at the start, as long as everyone cooperates sincerely. I believe in your abilities, which is why I called you here and don¡¯t think you¡¯ll let me down.¡±


    Having said the final sentence, both women nodded their heads, their eyes firm.


    After finishing the arrangement for the two secretaries¡¯ work, Chen Mobai saw that it was getting late and asked if Lin Yin had arranged accommodations for them.


    With their affirmative responses, he nodded, bid farewell, and disappeared on the spot, flickering with silver light, in front of the two women.


    Seeing this scene, both Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan trembled with astonishment.


    Although they had long known their old classmate had mastered Void Walking, it was still shocking to see it in person.


    Is this the number one talent of Immortal Gate?


    After Chen Mobai returned to his apartment, he didn¡¯t waste any time, taking out the Five Elements Essence to continue his cultivation.


    Of the twenty servings of Five Elements Essence he got from Zhou Wangshen, he was nearly finished refining all of them.


    He realized that it took one hundred servings of Five Elements Essence to refine a complete strand of Primordial True Qi!


    No wonder that achieving great success with Primordial True Qi requires the Spiritual Aid of five Golden Core Cultivators for sixty years to succeed.


    Late at night, as he melted the last serving of Five Elements Essence, Chen Mobai felt the newly formed small strand of Primordial True Qi in his Middle Dantian and nodded slightly to himself.


    Then seeing that it was not yet dawn outside the window, he continued to perform the Flame Lighting Technique to purify this Primordial True Qi.


    Because the quality of this batch of Five Elements Essence was average, resulting in somewhat loose Primordial True Qi, this process was needed.


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s estimates, it would take about half a month to refine this Primordial True Qi to the utmost purity.


    In the morning, Chen Mobai precisely stopped cultivating at six o¡¯clock, tidied himself up, and used the Underworld Array to go to work.


    Outside his office, Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan had already taken their seats and were holding a pile of documents, learning and adapting to their work content.


    Lin Yin was also there, happily distributing the burdens in her hands, one by one, to the two women.


    As Chen Mobai walked out of the office, the three women immediately looked up, stood up, and greeted him.


    ¡°Today, we need to visit Kaiyuan Hall to discuss some matters with Councilor Wang Xin Fu. Zijing, come with me.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Hua Zijing immediately put down her work, grabbed her briefcase.


    ¡°Chief, this is the breakfast I brought for you.¡±


    However, Zhuang Jialan took out a thermos from her drawer and passed it to Chen Mobai. Hua Zijing and Lin Yin, seeing this, both froze.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised, as it had been a long time since he had breakfast. Nevertheless, since it was a subordinate¡¯s kindness, he wouldn¡¯t refuse and thanked her before eating it on the way.


    It was steaming hot Spirit Rice Porridge, seemingly just freshly boiled that morning.


    After tasting it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but finish it all.


    As he closed the thermos lid, the driving Hua Zijing glanced at him from the front, and he noticed.


    ¡°It tastes really good, how are you two adapting to work?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai put the thermos on the seat next to him and then asked about their first-day work experience.


    ¡°There¡¯s quite a lot to do; it will probably take some time to sort things out and fully adapt.¡±


    Having served as the student council secretary for several years at Dance Tool Dao Academy, Hua Zijing knew that Chen Mobai disliked flattery and honestly expressed her feelings.


    ¡°I am aware of your abilities, and decades of grassroots experience after graduation have also mostly honed your disposition. All you lack now is an opportunity to soar.¡±


    In fact, those who could graduate from Dance Tool Dao Academy were generally competent, especially Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, who were both vice presidents and secretaries of the student council before graduation. Even within the Weapon Dancing Sect, they were considered to possess superior quality talent.

 Chapter 1444 - Chapter 1444 Chapter 762 Two Secretaries_3

    Chapter 1444: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_3 Chapter 1444: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_3 But the positions in Immortal Gate are limited, and before those occupying them step down, aspirants can only start at the grassroots level.


    Moreover, compared to the vast numbers of Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Immortal Gate, they are already very fortunate.


    At least, with the background of graduating from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, they have been assigned public offices and are eligible to queue for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    Without Chen Mobai, they might have spent all their resources and savings during their peak years of Foundation Establishment to exchange for a piece of Gold Core Spiritual Material, then grit their teeth to attempt their single chance at Core Formation.


    If successful, they would soar to great heights, even becoming councilors in Kaiyuan Hall; if they fail, they would retire and spend the remainder of their lives waiting for death.


    ¡°Many have waited a lifetime for this chance and never got it.¡±


    Hua Zijing said with a sigh of emotion. Zuo Qiushi, the former top student from Dance Tool Dao Academy and a darling in the Daoist Academy who broke through to the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment, was taken in by the Department of Law Enforcement before even graduating.


    After graduating, he only waited a year before being placed by the Weapon Dancing Sect into a law enforcement office in a Blessed Earth City. Within five years, he rose to be the deputy head of the traffic management department, and head of the department in ten years.


    Now, fifty years later, Zuo Qiushi is the Deputy Director there.


    That is considered very successful.


    But even Zuo Qiushi cannot exchange sixty years of service for a Golden Liquid Jade Pill yet; he still needs to queue and may have to wait another one hundred and twenty years to get it.


    Thus, the opportunity given by Chen Mobai to Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan can truly be described as life-altering.


    Since both have already reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, obtaining the Golden Liquid Jade Pill early could give them the chance, even in failure, to attempt a second time.


    Immortal Gate is not short of talents; in fact, it could be said that there is an oversupply.


    What¡¯s lacking are the positions for these talents to showcase their capabilities.


    Of course, the top talents still receive preferential treatment from Immortal Gate.


    For example, Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai¡¯s close friends, received invitations from the First Military Factory and the Sky-Net Management Bureau before graduation, offering terms that included the exchange of sixty years of service for a Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    Not to mention Chen Mobai, with his Qualification of Deification.


    Through Hua Zijing, Chen Mobai also learned about their batch of graduates, and she occasionally kept in touch. All have reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment and are just waiting to queue up for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    During these dull days, the ambitious desires they held at graduation to make a big impact had largely been eroded away, and now they just pass the days.


    ¡°If you have the time, you could cultivate other secret techniques, such as the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique.¡±


    Chen Mobai mentioned, but Hua Zijing shook her head.


    ¡°Such self-discipline and hardship are rare in people. The Spirit Root Enhancement Technique, towards later stages, might need decades just to achieve a slight improvement, and many give up in the face of an obviously unreachable goal.¡±


    After all, lying low is very comfortable.


    In these peaceful years at Immortal Gate, the vast majority of cultivators, while waiting for a chance at the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, choose to enjoy life, family, and well-being.


    ¡°Sigh, if possible, I too would want to live such a life.¡±


    But Chen Mobai spoke reflectively, which surprised Hua Zijing very much.


    From his student days, Chen Mobai¡¯s diligence and self-discipline had greatly impressed her. Even though his fame as a potential Divinity Transformation spread across Immortal Gate, Hua Zijing knew that even without such potential, his unwavering determination to pursue his goals would inevitably lead him to the peak of Immortal Gate.


    ¡°With your current achievements, surely no one can force you, right?¡±


    Facing Hua Zijing¡¯s confusion, Chen Mobai looked out the window and sighed deeply.


    ¡°Indeed, no one can force me, but I am the only one from the Weapon Dancing Sect who can step forward to take charge now, so responsibility compels me to come out of seclusion!¡±


    Hearing this, Hua Zijing felt a deep respect.


    She felt the man sitting behind her was truly noble and responsible!


    At this moment, the car arrived at the office building of Kaiyuan Hall.


    Chen Mobai accompanied her to meet Wang Xin Fu, another key figure from the Weapon Dancing Sect in Kaiyuan Hall, second only to Chen Mobai as a councilor.


    Wang Xin Fu was surprised to see Hua Zijing, a stranger, but relaxed when he learned she was also a graduate of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Today¡¯s meeting was due to Ye Yune suddenly taking a long leave.


    ¡°She must be taking the Infant-Feeding Elixir!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Thinking this, Wang Xin Fu nodded, confirming it with his findings.


    In the absence of Ye Yune, Shi Miao, from the Kunpeng Lineage, temporarily took over the Rotating Committee at Kaiyuan Hall.


    When the discussion shifted to Ye Yune¡¯s extended leave, Chen Mobai, Wang Xin Fu, and Song Yingzhi, a councilor from Jumang Academy, exchanged thoughts and responses, and reached a consensus.


    The general consensus was to maintain the current stability.


    However, if Ye Yune successfully completes Nascent Soul Formation, their two lineages would certainly need to make adjustments again.

 Chapter 1445 - Chapter 1445: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_4

    Chapter 1445: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_4


    Therefore, deep down, they hoped Ye Yune would fail.


    But none of the three said it out loud.


    After introducing Zhuang Jialan to Song Yingzhi as well, Chen Mobai took her and left the Kaiyuan Hall, and then the two went to the Portal Administration Bureau.


    Chen Mobai purchased another Void Blind Box.


    However, from now on, he only needed to place orders and pay, while Zhuang Jialan would fetch the items.


    After obtaining the Void Blind Box, the two went to the Xianwu Hall to apply for this quarter¡¯s funding for the Sky-Mending Group, which was a top priority.


    With Lan Haitian¡¯s help, the process went very smoothly.


    ¡°Thanks, let¡¯s have another drink tonight.¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Lan Haitian, but he shook his head and declined, saying he had to deal with a matter regarding Ying Guanghua tonight and didn¡¯t have time.


    The two made plans to drink together next time they were free, and then Chen Mobai took Zhuang Jialan on another trip to the Righteous Law Hall¡¯s Department of Law Enforcement.


    Although the Sky-Mending Group was directly managed by the Righteous Law Hall Master, it was nominally under the Department of Law Enforcement, so the finance department¡¯s funds would be transferred to the Department of Law Enforcement¡¯s account.


    If the Sky-Mending Group didn¡¯t have a good relationship with the Department of Law Enforcement, the process here could also be stalled.


    But after Chen Mobai stepped forward, Wen Lianshan courteously greeted them and ensured that as soon as the funds were received, they would be transferred to the Sky-Mending Group on the same day.


    By the time they got back to the Sky-Mending Group, it had already grown completely dark.


    The busy day also allowed Zhuang Jialan to visit all Three Great Halls of Xianmen, and she started to gain a basic understanding of this highest authority.


    ¡°Chief, Hua, you must be hungry by now, I¡¯ve asked the canteen to keep your dinner.¡±


    When the two returned to the office, Zhuang Jialan was unexpectedly still reviewing documents. Seeing them come in, she immediately got up, showing care and concern.


    ¡°Well then¡­ let¡¯s eat!¡±


    Chen Mobai usually did not eat after work, preferring to substitute his meals with meditation and cultivation.


    But since Zhuang Jialan had made arrangements, it was certainly better to eat.


    After all, the food supplied to him as the Chief was good, and it included Fourth-rank Spirit Rice, which couldn¡¯t even be bought with top-grade Spirit Stones in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Because he was in the Imperial City, his position entitled him to fourth-grade lower-class Five Peaks Spirit Rice, a variant of Spirit Rice.


    It could be said to be an unsuccessful higher evolution of Spirit Rice, unable to be supplied to Huashen Ancestors, so it was given to The Three Great Halls instead.


    As the number four figure in Righteous Law Hall, although Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t have Fourth Grade Superior Demi-Immortal Rice, the Five Peaks Spirit Rice was more than sufficient.


    This was also another benefit of his promotion.


    Eating Spirit Rice prolongs the period when a cultivator¡¯s essence, qi, and spirit stay at their peak. It¡¯s a benefit that can be seen only after a long period of persistence, which many cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness couldn¡¯t afford.


    Now only the Five Elements Sect could use the tens of millions of mu (1 mu = 0.165 acres) of Spirit Fields opened up on the Eastern Desolation Plateau to ensure that every meal for Sect Disciples was made of Spirit Rice.


    Other Loose Cultivators averaged one Spirit Rice meal every three days, and this was only made possible after the Five Elements Sect¡¯s cultivation led to a huge surge in Spirit Rice production.


    Before that, cultivators mainly substituted their food with Fasting Pills, or after obtaining a fortune, they would treat themselves to Spirit Rice.


    After eating, Chen Mobai was ready to leave work.


    When he asked Zhuang Jialan and Hua Zijing, they both shook their heads.


    Hua Zijing: ¡°I have been out all day, and I still haven¡¯t finished the documents that Vice Chief Lin gave me. I¡¯ll take advantage of the evening to get through some so I don¡¯t delay tomorrow¡¯s work.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan: ¡°I¡¯ll stay with Hua.¡±


    Hearing their determined responses, Chen Mobai also advised them to progress gradually and not rush. However, seeing their firm gazes and attitudes, he let them be.


    ¡°Then I will borrow the second group¡¯s Artifact Refining Room and work an extra shift with you today.¡±


    Seeing his subordinates working so hard, Chen Mobai felt a bit ashamed. Remembering he had some Nantian Jade Ore yet to be processed within his domain, he went to the best-equipped Artifact Refining Room reserved for him by the second group.


    Under the observation of the Void Spirit Eye, the inside of the Jade Ore was clear at a glance.


    Chen Mobai skillfully wielded his Sword Qi to cut off the stone skin¡­


    Early the next morning, Zhuang Jialan came over and left breakfast at the door of the Artifact Refining Room.


    The next day, as Zhuang Jialan was about to leave after placing dinner at the door and clearing the lunch plates, the door to the Artifact Refining Room suddenly opened.


    ¡°Chief!¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai walk out, Zhuang Jialan promptly greeted him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been working hard these past few days.¡± Chen Mobai smiled as he handed her a Jade Pendant, ¡°This Nantian Jade is of good quality. When infused with Spiritual Power, it¡¯ll emit a clear sound audible only to Divine Sense, purifying the spirit and alleviating fatigue, which will come in handy since you¡¯ve been working overtime.¡±


    ¡°This is too valuable¡­¡±


    Upon receiving it, Zhuang Jialan saw that it was made of Rank-2 jade, and couldn¡¯t help but try to refuse it.


    ¡°Keep it, I have plenty more.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While speaking, Chen Mobai stretched out his hand, the domain opened in the Void, and six to seven jade items of various shapes floated before Zhuang Jialan¡¯s eyes.


    Afterward, the two went to the office, and Chen Mobai also gave Hua Zijing a pair of Jade Bracelets. She didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and accepted them right away.


    Since Lin Yin was also working overtime today, Chen Mobai, coincidentally there, also gifted her a Jade Bangle.


    Seeing the joy on the faces of his three subordinates as they received the jade items, Chen Mobai felt his efforts over the past two days were worthwhile.


    In the following period, their enthusiasm for work soared even higher.

 Chapter 1446 - Chapter 1446: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_5

    Chapter 1446: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_5


    Originally expected to take over half a year to get adjusted, it only took two months for Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan to become proficient.


    Lin Yin felt an unprecedented sense of ease; she now only needed to focus on her primary duties.


    The efficiency of the Patching Heaven Group had greatly improved.


    Chen Mobai was even more satisfied with this development.


    He was also freed from the busy trivialities of the Immortal Gate, gaining more spare time.


    This time, he could use for his own cultivation, or visit the Eastern Wilderness to check on the formation of the Five Elements Commerce Association, and also to deepen his relationship with Qing Nu.


    Time quickly approached the end of the year.


    That day, Chen Mobai was attempting to merge two streams of Primordial True Qi, one large and one small, when he received an urgent call.


    On the phone, Shi Wanyu¡¯s voice was slightly tearful as she informed him that her father had stopped breathing in the hospital.


    Upon hearing the news, Chen Mobai immediately asked Narcissus for leave, who approved it without asking for any reason.


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s father had died a natural death.


    Before his death, holding his spouse¡¯s hand, he had passed away smiling.


    As a Qi Practitioner, he had a blessed life spanning a hundred and twenty years.


    Especially having seen his daughter¡¯s happy face before his death, he felt no regrets in life.


    Shortly after Chen Mobai returned, not long after, Shi Wanyu¡¯s mother also passed away at night, under the companionship of the three of them, holding Xiao Hei¡¯s hand as she closed her eyes.


    Losing both parents within a short period of time was naturally a tremendous blow for Shi Wanyu.


    Although she had long known this day would come, facing it was still unbearably sorrowful.


    Chen Mobai stayed with her to handle the aftermath for the elderly couple. Given his special status, it was inconvenient for him to appear publicly, so he entrusted the head of the Yu family to help.


    The head of the Yu family, named Yu Shijun, had initially enabled Xiao Hei to go to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains by calling Yu Huiping, and Chen Mobai owed him a favor.


    Thus, he was aware of Shi Wanyu¡¯s situation.


    After burying the elderly couple, Chen Mobai lit incense, intending to leave with the grief-stricken Shi Wanyu and his daughter, when he suddenly saw an unexpected person respectfully accompany Yu Shijun up the mountain.


    ¡°Grandma, what brings you here?¡±


    Chen Xiaohei, seeing Yu Huiping arriving with Yu Shijun, couldn¡¯t help but express surprise and then ran over to her, taking her slightly aged hand.


    ¡°Your grandmother is technically my junior. Hearing of her passing, I had to come and pay my respects both emotionally and rationally!¡±


    During the conversation, Yu Huiping nodded towards Chen Mobai as a form of greeting.


    ¡°It¡¯s so kind of True Person Yu to come all this way!¡±


    Shi Wanyu bowed towards Yu Huiping on behalf of her parents, but the latter immediately came forward to stop her.


    ¡°No need for such formalities, no need¡­¡±


    Seeing Yu Huiping repeat it twice, a bit overly courteous, Chen Mobai had Shi Wanyu fetch a stick of incense from the basket she carried on her wrist to hand over to Yu Huiping.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After receiving the incense, Yu Huiping thanked Shi Wanyu.


    ¡°True Person Yu, you¡¯re too polite, please.¡±


    Seeing that Shi Wanyu still seemed to be in sorrow, Chen Mobai took over and led Yu Huiping to the elders¡¯ tombstones.


    After paying their respects, Yu Huiping was preparing to say goodbye, but Xiao Hei held onto her, saying that since she rarely came by, she should stay and enjoy the visit.

    ¡°Of course, of course!¡±


    After listening, Yu Huiping looked at Xiao Hei with affection and allowed her to hold her hand.


    ¡°Well then, do take good care of True Person Yu. I will go with your mother to your maternal grandparents¡¯ old home to tidy up some things.¡±


    After instructing his daughter, Chen Mobai greeted both Yu Huiping and Yu Shijun, and then led Shi Wanyu towards Yu Wood City.


    Watching Shi Wanyu obediently follow Chen Mobai, Yu Huiping hesitated, wanting to say more but stopping herself.

 Chapter 1447 - Chapter 1447: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara

    Chapter 1447: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara


    After settling affairs for his elderly parents, Chen Mobai asked Shi Wanyu if she was willing to go with him to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Chen Xiaohei, due to the ten-year territorial rule, still needed to serve in Yu Wood City.


    Considering this and the need to take care of Chen Mobai¡¯s parents, Shi Wanyu decided to stay.


    ¡°In Red Sandstone City, there is also my cousin¡¯s family, you really don¡¯t need to worry about my parents.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this, but Shi Wanyu, after careful consideration, still shook her head.


    In her heart, she was afraid that accompanying him to Wangwu Cave Heaven might hinder Chen Mobai¡¯s future prospects.


    Respecting her decision, Chen Mobai did not persuade her further.


    That day, after saying goodbye to Yu Huiping, his own leave from Narcissus was nearly up, so after arranging affairs in Yu Wood City, he planned to leave.


    ¡°From now on, the home responsibilities will be tough on you.¡±


    After hearing this, Shi Wanyu nodded gently, then stood up from his embrace and helped him dress.


    Chen Mobai also stayed in Red Sandstone City for a day.


    His parents¡¯ lifespan was almost exhausted, speculated to only last another two years. However, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui were very open about it and had even purchased their own burial plots early.


    They chose a location next to Chen Mobai¡¯s maternal grandparents¡¯ graves, to make it convenient for their son to pay his respects in the future.


    During a meal with his parents, his uncle¡¯s family also came.


    His cousin, Wang Xinying, had grown into an outstanding talisman maker. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement, she had just been elected this year as the president of the Red Sandstone City Talisman Masters Association.


    With this position, in the future, if she accrued enough years of service, she could queue to exchange for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    After a family dinner that evening, Chen Mobai then went to Danxia Mountain.


    Aside from training there due to its Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, he had also arranged to meet Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°The development of the Mysterious Frost Company has reached a bottleneck here; have you considered expanding outside?¡±


    The two, who hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, sat under the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, watching the bright moon and stars above, discussing future developments.


    ¡°Going outside would naturally be best, but I am concerned it might affect your reputation.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded, expressing her concerns.


    She was well aware that the Mysterious Frost Company¡¯s development depended entirely on Chen Mobai¡¯s support.


    In Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City, it was fine since they were far from the center of the Immortal Gate, away from the spotlight.


    Once they considered leaving these areas to enter the broader market of the Immortal Gate, all backgrounds would be scrutinized.


    ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, what are you afraid of? Besides, my background is just to give you a fair chance to compete with other companies. Whether you succeed depends on the quality of the Mysterious Frost Company¡¯s products; I have confidence in your professional abilities.¡±


    Moved by Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Bingxuan nodded seriously.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll arrange for the company¡¯s relocation tomorrow. Which Grotto Heaven do you think is suitable?¡±


    Logically, the center of the Evil Qi energy in the Immortal Gate is in the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy in Xixuan Dongtian, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think that was a good option.


    He had previously set up the Mysterious Frost Company here because he was here himself, hoping to provide Yan Bingxuan a legitimate reason to stay.


    Now that he had left the academy and risen to Wangwu Cave Heaven, he naturally hoped that his good friend Yan Bingxuan could join him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to Wangwu Cave Heaven. You¡¯re about to reach the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment; you¡¯ll need to start preparing to open the Golden Core Domain there. Plus, if you move beforehand, you¡¯ll adapt sooner. And this way, when we¡¯re free, we can also grab a meal together.¡±


    Chen Mobai straightforwardly mentioned his reasons; Yan Bingxuan nodded lightly, feeling he had thoroughly considered everything for her.


    After discussing this matter, Chen Mobai asked about Yan Bingxuan¡¯s understanding of the Power of Void.


    Yan Bingxuan took out a slightly smaller Void Stone and asked Chen Mobai about the problems she had accumulated over the past year.


    In this area, Chen Mobai was an expert.


    After all, in the entire Immortal Gate, no one could refine as many Void Stones as he had.


    Having answered Yan Bingxuan¡¯s questions, Chen Mobai personally demonstrated and guided her in sensing and listening to the Power of Void.


    Unfortunately, what was very simple for him was extraordinarily difficult for Yan Bingxuan.


    After all, Yan Bingxuan didn¡¯t possess the Echoes in the Void.


    Unknowingly, the night passed.


    Chen Mobai realized it was nearly time for his flight, so he reluctantly ended the teaching session and bid farewell to Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°We¡¯ll soon meet in Wangwu Cave Heaven, no need for such a sad expression.¡±


    Seeing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s rare display of reluctance, Chen Mobai smiled, waved his hand, and then, shimmering with silver light, disappeared from the peak of Danxia Mountain.

    Arriving at the airport in Wangwu Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai met up with Hua Zijing who was picking him up, then rode in her car towards the Hall of Orthodox Law.


    First, he reported to the Narcissus, but she wasn¡¯t in her office, so Chen Mobai only saw Gongsun Jielu, who was unusually busy handling various affairs of the Hall of Orthodox Law in her place.


    The two chatted for a while, and Chen Mobai mainly informed the leadership that he had come straight here upon returning.


    Vice Hall Master Gongsun Jielu was also informed.


    ¡°Sometimes, I really wish I could be like Ye Yune, throw all my work away, and take a long vacation for Nascent Soul Formation.¡±

 Chapter 1448 - Chapter 1448: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara_2

    Chapter 1448: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara_2


    During their chat, Chen Mobai learned from Gongsun Jielu that Ye Yune indeed went to perform Nascent Soul Formation.


    The place she chose was naturally the Rank-5 Spirit Vein of Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    Gongsun Jielu, also a Kunpeng graduate, had a pretty good relationship with Ye Yune, and she was lucky enough to receive one of the Infant-Feeding Elixirs previously perfected.


    Because by the time of the elixir allocation, Peach Blossom Sage, the Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law, had already become a Nascent Soul Superior, Gongsun Jielu, the Enforcement Department Director, inherited the elixir allocated to her.


    It was precisely for this reason that Gongsun Jielu dedicated herself to Peach Blossom Sage, willing to work tirelessly.


    ¡°Among the seniors who received the Infant-Feeding Elixirs, except for Deputy Hall Master Gongsun, the others should have already gone into seclusion to prepare for ingestion, right?¡±


    Within the Immortal Gate, the distribution of these resources is basically just and transparent, aiming to accept social supervision, to ensure everything is aboveboard without backdoor dealings.


    So, Chen Mobai knew the list of those who received the Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    Gongye Zhixu, Gongsun Jielu, and Ye Yune, these three exchanged the elixirs for the titles and seniority of being Deputy Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls.


    There was also Duanmu Longrong, who was the first one confirmed.


    The other four are Wang Shuye, Nangong Xuanyu, Hao Cao, and Nie Tinglan.


    Another elixir had been reserved by the Sea Territory a hundred years ago.


    Among them, Wang Shuye and Nie Tinglan relied on the support of Dance Instruments and Jumang Lineage from the back.


    The two elixirs allocated to Nangong Xuanyu and Hao Cao were the most fiercely competitive, since there were no fewer than twenty other Perfect Core Formation Cultivators within the Immortal Gate comparable to them.


    Although the Four Great Daoist Sects control most of the forces of the Three Great Halls, they still leave an opening for cultivators from other Scholarly Mansions and Academies.


    Even so, the fact that Nangong Xuanyu and Hao Cao were able to defeat so many rivals was also due to the power dynamics between the Four Great Daoist Sects.


    Nangong Xuanyu was supported by the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, while Hao Cao received support from the Dance Instruments and Jumang Lineage.


    The Immortal Gate needs to give cultivators from Scholarly Mansions and Academies a glimmer of hope, and since Hao Cao once studied at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pei Qingshuang, the daughter of Peach Blossom Sage, was his disciple, these two lineages chose him, one of their own.


    The Kunpeng Lineage did promote a Perfect Core Formation Cultivator from the True Spiritual Academy, but unfortunately, the elixir reserved for the Sea Territory was already allocated to them, so they couldn¡¯t compete with Hao Cao in the end.


    ¡°I hope that in a few years, the Immortal Gate can have a few more Nascent Soul Superiors.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod involuntarily; he hoped that Wang Shuye, Hao Cao, and Nie Tinglan could succeed in Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Deputy Hall Master Gongsun is a Sword Dao grandmaster, with the qualification of Ancestor Baiguang, so it¡¯s certain you will succeed.¡±


    The words Chen Mobai spoke were completely different from what he was thinking.


    ¡°Forget it, I would be pretty good if I had one-tenth of Ancestor Baiguang¡¯s talent. No need to flatter me with your Qualification of Deification. It¡¯s a pity I¡¯m so busy now that I don¡¯t even have time to sleep, otherwise I¡¯d definitely want to discuss Sword Intent with you, a sword cultivation genius.¡±


    Gongsun Jielu¡¯s words left Chen Mobai confused.


    Sword Intent?


    He hadn¡¯t mastered it!


    He got it; Gongsun Jielu was bragging about her profound Sword Intent.


    Once Chen Mobai realized this, he naturally didn¡¯t give her the chance to show off and signaled to Hua Zijing by his side. She promptly came over to say that the Sky-Mending Group had accumulated a lot of work that needed his attention during his absence.


    ¡°Deputy Hall Master Gongsun, I should get back to my official duties now. When we have time in the future, let¡¯s discuss the Sword Dao then.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words brought a look of anticipation on Gongsun Jielu¡¯s face; she seemed to believe it sincerely.


    [She wouldn¡¯t be thinking of defeating me in the Sword Dao before I grow stronger, to boast about it in the future, would she?]


    Chen Mobai saw her expression and misunderstood deeply.


    After leaving with Hua Zijing, he was already thinking of excuses to decline the Sword Dao exchange with Gongsun Jielu.


    When he returned to the Sky-Mending Group, Zhuang Jialan, who had put on her glasses again, immediately came in with a stack of documents that had been prepared beforehand.


    Even with two capable and diligent secretaries, many matters of the Sky-Mending Group still needed Chen Mobai, the boss, to handle personally.


    However, compared to before, it was much better.


    The documents they left for Chen Mobai were all processed in just half a night.


    After this was done, Chen Mobai stretched lazily. Seeing that the two secretaries were still working overtime outside the office, he immediately walked out.


    ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. Don¡¯t overdo it.¡±


    As he spoke, Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, starting to pack their things to leave work.


    Chen Mobai feared that they would just pretend to leave, so he waited until they had left before using the Underworld Array to return to his own apartment.

    With his level of status, Chen Mobai could apply for Third Rank Superior Grade Spiritual Energy.


    But it was incomparable to Tianhe Realm, or even Red Sandstone City.


    To pretend to be practicing hard every day, after returning, he would use a used Supreme-grade Spirit Stone to absorb Spiritual Energy. In reality, he mostly went to the Eastern Wilderness.


    Above the Longevity Wood Dojo, one green and one violet Sword Light rushed towards the sky. Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s command, they both concealed their brightness and shadows.


    In the sky miles above, the hilt of Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang Sword locked together, forming a straight line before spinning in all directions. In their rapid rotation, they formed an umbrella-shaped Purple Green canopy.

 Chapter 1449 - Chapter 1449: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara_3

    Chapter 1449: Chapter 763 Purple Qinghagara_3


    He is condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy!


    Just because the proper sword master provides Spiritual Power, these two Sword Artifacts are struggling.


    They have already failed many times.


    But as long as they attempt, even if they fail, Chen Mobai gives each ten intermediate-grade Spirit Stones for their hard work.


    In just over a year, not counting the Water Spirit Pearls, the Qing Shuang Sword has received more Spirit Stones from Chen Mobai than it did in the hundred years it spent with Pei Qingshuang.


    This makes it, new to the scene, feel these Spirit Stones are somewhat burning hot to hold.


    Despite having achieved nothing, this Purple Electric Sword master actually gives compensation!


    No, this Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy must be successfully cultivated!


    Holding this thought, Qing Shuang Sword is even more diligent than Purple Electric Sword. As long as Chen Mobai releases them, it takes the initiative to ascend and display the Purple Qinghagara.


    [Little Qing, I have never worked so hard before, all for you¡­]


    The two Sword Artifacts clasp tightly together, spinning amidst the Heavenly Firmament, Purple Electric Sword feeling secretly pleased, while brainwashing Qing Shuang Sword, because every time they succeed in condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, it gets an extra Superior Quality Spirit Stone, so it¡¯s actually working harder than Qing Shuang Sword.


    But it insists on pretending that it¡¯s working so hard for Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s sake, to have the latter owe it a favor.


    Strange, when did it start having such emotions?


    While brainwashing, Purple Electric Sword is also surprised to find its spirituality seems to have grown stronger.


    Over at Immortal Gate, Magic Artifacts also have a leveling route.


    If spirituality grows like a child, that would be equivalent to a Fifth-Rank Magic Weapon.


    Both it and Qing Shuang, before their previous masters passed away in meditation, had all their Essence infused to level up to Fourth Grade Superior, greatly enhancing their spirituality. But in reality, to grow into a Fifth-Rank, they had only made a 5% progress.


    Purple Electric Sword feels it¡¯s because it recognized Chen Mobai as its master, that it¡¯s provided with ample Spirit Stones.


    Therefore, its spirituality has increased.


    Anyway, it must be smarter than Little Qing!


    Thinking so, Purple Electric Sword is full of drive and pressure; it certainly does not hope to be surpassed by Little Qing in the future.


    Chen Mobai is also controlling the Red Misty Cloud Silk below the two swords, with the Purple Qinghagara rotating above his head.


    And his Pure Yang Spiritual Power is also being continuously infused into the Purple Electric Sword.


    Although the Spiritual Power can¡¯t be fully adapted, it can still reduce much of the burden of the two swords.


    Chen Mobai, using Listening with Empty Valley Echo, pays close attention to the Purple Qinghagara, noticing that as the two swords rotate, the Void slightly distorts, consuming and refining strands of the purest Two-yi Qi from the Heavenly Firmament through the Purple Qinghagara.


    During the process of contact with the Two-yi Qi, the Purple Thunder Green Frost Sword also emits a faint glow.


    As time passes, the two swords absorb more and more Vital Essence, and the originally thick and clear blades slowly become transparent.


    And in the deepest part of the two swords¡¯ blades, a trace of deep purple and dark green light can be faintly seen forming and condensing.


    It seems today will be a success!


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes light up, with surprise and delight, he opens another Small Void and pours out his stored Pure Yang Spiritual Power into the Purple Electric Sword.


    In the process of the Purple Qinghagara, Purple Electric Sword can also transform its power into something that Qing Shuang Sword can absorb.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s strong support, the two swords, which were originally only rotating in one spot, suddenly shuttle back and forth like kites in the Tian Gang Atmosphere.


    Through communication with the two swords, he learns that this place¡¯s Two-yi Qi has been absorbed completely and they need to move to another location.


    Chen Mobai immediately points out the direction in the Heavenly Firmament where the Two-yi Qi is most abundant, after Listening with Empty Valley Echo.


    Not knowing how long it has been, Purple Thunder Green Frost finally stops.


    Chen Mobai immediately moves in front of the two swords and reaches out to hold onto the clasped hilts!


    Then, the flow of deep purple and dark green light in the now transparent blades begins to reverse towards the hilt, finally contacting the place where Chen Mobai is holding!


    Together with a pain that feels both like burning and freezing, Chen Mobai sees the deep purple and dark green lights start to merge.


    [Master, your cultivation level is insufficient; you might not be able to endure the process of condensing the Two-yi Qi into the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy!]


    Purple Electric Sword notices this point and immediately sends a message intending to stop.


    ¡°No, I can bear it!¡±


    But after over a year of hard attempts, and only now achieving success, Chen Mobai certainly won¡¯t give up.


    As he speaks, his left eye suddenly flashes with golden light.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s command, Purple Electric and Qing Shuang Swords no longer hesitate and obediently start the process of merging the Two-yi Qi.


    While Chen Mobai¡¯s palm is being torn and his blood boils, it also freeze-burns into a purplish-black liquid. Yet, with the Guidance Book state activated, his facial expression doesn¡¯t change at all.


    The power of the Longevity Dao Body is fully activated, and a strong life-giving blood essence starts surging incessantly from all over his body towards his right hand gripping the Purple and Green Double Swords.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Under the vicissitudes of ice and fire, his right hand¡¯s skin, flesh, and bones keep vanishing but also continuously regenerate.


    Fortunate that the Two-yi Qi refined this time is not much, so the process stops after just a moment.


    But Chen Mobai discovers that to condense and refine the Two-yi Qi into the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, he still lacks the final push.


    Even with the assistance of the Purple and Green Double Swords, it¡¯s still not enough.


    Chen Mobai no longer hesitates, immediately unleashing his most powerful strength. A massive External Incarnation wearing a White Jade Crown emerges behind him, also reaching out to hold onto the Purple and Green Double Swords!

 Chapter 1450 - Chapter 1450: Chapter 763: Purple Qinghagara_4

    Chapter 1450: Chapter 763: Purple Qinghagara_4


    Buzz!


    The clear distinction of deep purple and dark green radiance in the grasp of his external incarnation finally merged into a wisp of purple-green Qi!


    That was the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw this.


    After dissipating his external incarnation, he took out a pre-prepared Spirit Sealing Tube and collected the wisp of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    ¡°Thanks for your hard work!¡±


    After putting away the Spirit Sealing Tube with the talisman affixed, Chen Mobai thanked the Purple and Green Double Swords and then brought out some Top-grade Spirit Stones to reward them.


    Watching the Qing Shuang Sword tapping the Spirit Stone continuously with its sword body, the Purple Electric Sword scorned inwardly and promptly returned to its domain.


    It was eligible for an extra piece.


    However, since both swords had been together during this period, Chen Mobai decided to keep a tally first to avoid arousing suspicion from Qing Shuang Sword. He would transfer those Top-grade Spirit Stones in his possession to it after Qing Shuang Sword had left.


    The Purple Electric Sword felt this made sense, as Qing Shuang Sword was petty and stingy; it couldn¡¯t let it find out about this arrangement.


    Successfully condensing the first wisp of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy greatly relieved Chen Mobai.


    This meant his idea was sound, and as long as the Purple and Green Double Swords worked hard, even without his own cultivation of the Purple Splendor and Qingxiao Sword Canons, it was still possible to succeed in condensing the energy.


    It¡¯s a pity that it was still quite troublesome and difficult!


    If only he could find someone to assist, just like with the Pure Yang Purple Qi!


    Thinking so, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t think of anyone who could take on this task.


    But this wasn¡¯t an urgent matter. After returning to the Immortal Gate, he needed to put on an act, leaving the Heavenly Curtain and utilizing the Purple and Green Double Swords to refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy as a pretense.


    By reinforcing his image as a Sword Cultivation Genius while laying the groundwork for his future use of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    After all, for the Pure Yang Purple Qi, Chen Mobai could claim he had an exceptional talent that allowed him to easily break through realms without requiring such assistance.


    But it would be hard to justify that talent if he managed Nascent Soul Formation without relying on the Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine.


    Even the Yuanyang Ancestor needed to visit the Taiyin Star!


    Chen Mobai planned to use the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy as an excuse!


    If he truly managed to break through with the help of the resources of the Tianhe Realm, he would claim he used that.


    Even an incomplete thread would suffice as a catalyst for his breakthrough, considering his genius.


    Plus, with his qualifications for Divinity Transformation, it would provide a plausible explanation to everyone at the Immortal Gate.


    Thinking thus, Chen Mobai laughed heartily, envisioning his imminent success in Nascent Soul Formation.


    At this time, Qing Shuang Sword had also returned to his domain.


    Wanting to share the good news, Chen Mobai conveniently traveled via the Teleportation Array to Mount Tianpeng, where Qing Nu stayed.


    As he had been dealing with his teacher Wanyu¡¯s parents¡¯ funeral matters, it had been a long time since his last visit.


    Reunited after a lengthy separation, the couple naturally clung together like glue.


    Afterward!


    The perspiring Qing Nu, leaning in Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace, held the Spirit Sealing Tube containing Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, her flushed face filled with amazement.


    ¡°You¡¯re amazing, to really be able to condense it successfully with the help of the Purple and Green Double Swords!¡±


    Back at Jumang Academy, Qing Nu thought Chen Mobai was daydreaming, yet in just over a year, the successful result was already before her eyes.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s too much of a waste of time. Right now, my main focus is to enhance my Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Realm, striving to boost it to Perfect Core Formation and the Body of Nine Suns as quickly as possible.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat dissatisfied. After hearing his thoughts, Qing Nu proposed a method.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang is cultivating the Qingxiao Sword Canon, which can greatly alleviate the burden of the Purple and Green Double Swords. If she is willing to help, would that lighten your load a bit?¡±


    ¡°That would certainly be no problem, but she has just undergone Core Formation, and if I were to take her along, there is also the possibility of it being exposed. Moreover, I would have to share half of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy that is being condensed with her, which won¡¯t do.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai lightly shook his head, but Qing Nu smiled, sharing her actual thoughts.


    ¡°You have already achieved a Clear Heart of Sword with the Purple and Green Double Swords. Since they can work in perfect harmony with you, if they could do the same with Pei Qingshuang, then they should be able to refine the Two-yi Qi. At that time, we could let the Spirit Sealing Tube store the Two-yi Qi first, and when you have free time, you can slowly integrate it. In this way, you free up your time and Pei Qingshuang will also have something to thank you for!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai realized it made sense.


    The reason Pei Qingshuang initially chose the Qingxiao Sword Canon and Qing Shuang Sword was to utilize the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy to increase the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation.


    Now that Chen Mobai had made arrangements with the Purple and Green Double Swords, giving her this opportunity was akin to granting her a favor as monumental as life itself.


    However, Chen Mobai naturally could not be the one to speak up about this matter.


    It would be best for Pei Qingshuang to come to him and ask for help; that way, he could reluctantly agree and earn himself a big favor!


    ¡°There is also one concern with this matter: even with the full cooperation of the Purple and Green Double Swords, whether Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Spiritual Power is sufficient to refine the Two-yi Qi remains a question.¡±


    Qing Nu added this, and Chen Mobai patted her, indicating that it was perfect timing since the Appearance-fixing Pearl had just been completed. While he went to retrieve it, he could also arrange to test this out.


    It was up to Pei Qingshuang to see if she had such good fortune!


    ¡°If there¡¯s enough Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, Nascent Soul Formation will no longer be an issue for either of us.¡±


    Chen Mobai held the slippery Qing Nu in his arms, full of emotion, feeling the sweat on her skin, and could not help but wrap his arms around her slender waist again, pushing her hands against the wooden cabin¡¯s window.


    After a bout of passion.


    Chen Mobai took out a jade hairpin made of Nantian Jade to help Qing Nu bundle up the black hair that was draped over her snowy white back.


    ¡°Thank you, I really like it!¡±


    Qing Nu performed the Water Mirror Technique and admired the orchid-shaped jade hairpin in her own hair, her blush-tinted cheeks smiling.


    ¡°So beautiful. Once the Appearance-fixing Pearl is in our possession, you¡¯ll be able to keep this most beautiful visage forever!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu even sweeter.


    Each time Chen Mobai left Mount Tianpeng, he needed enormous willpower.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to look back, afraid to see Qing Nu¡¯s expectant gaze and be unable to resist staying behind.


    Upon returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai called Zhuang Jialan in.


    ¡°Has the team had any recent cases in Linwu Cave Haven?¡±


    He would need a reason to visit Jumang Academy.


    ¡°That area is under Jumang Academy¡¯s jurisdiction, no traces of the Ascension Sect were found. However, there are some new leads in the recent incident you encountered in Southfield City nearby.¡±


    Even though Zhuang Jialan didn¡¯t know why Chen Mobai wanted to visit Linwu Cave Haven, she still offered a suggestion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Book me a flight to Linwu Cave Haven and also a train ticket from there to Southfield City, with a one day gap in between. And make it the same for the return trip.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuang Jialan nodded and left the room, and within a quarter of an hour, the booking confirmation was sent to his phone.


    ¡°Zijing, can you report my trip this time to the Department of Law Enforcement for me?¡±


    When Chen Mobai was leaving, he called Hua Zijing, who happened to be at the Department of Law Enforcement.


    ¡°Of course, Head of the Team!¡±

 Chapter 1451 - Chapter 1451: Chapter 764: Related to Immortal Spirit Root

    Chapter 1451: Chapter 764: Related to Immortal Spirit Root


    Chen Mobai, after arriving at Jumang Academy, was first taken by Wen Ren Xuewei to acquire Appearance-fixing Pearls.


    They came to Empty Green Pharmacy Factory, one of the Immortal Gate¡¯s six great medicine factories.


    It was situated on the other side of thousands of mountains and rivers.


    A series of islands each surrounded by medicine pools built according to the respective environment, with Elixir Refining Rooms adjacent to them, as well as many warehouses storing herbs.


    Following Wen Ren Xuewei into the area, Chen Mobai felt his horizons broadening.


    Compared to the very primitive Alchemy in the Tianhe Realm, the Immortal Gate had basically industrialized, especially in the processing and synthesis of medicinal materials, ensuring that each dose of Spiritual Power could be evenly distributed; the elixirs refined contained no trace of Danless Poison.


    ¡°The Appearance-fixing Pearls are located in this medicine pool; they can only be taken out with the dean¡¯s talisman!¡±


    The pair arrived at the central island, where Wen Ren Xuewei produced a peach leaf-shaped talisman, channeled Spiritual Power into it to activate, and then the fog atop the pool dispersed to reveal twenty round lustrous Pearls flying out, neatly landing in two large boxes she had prepared.


    ¡°Three of these are for you, Senior Wenren.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately spoke up, and Wen Ren Xuewei, smiling, took one and handed the rest to him.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be visiting Wood God Island to see the dean and Cui later. You can give them to them then.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    As the two left, they happened upon a group of people arriving at this island via a water vessel, led by someone Chen Mobai recognized.


    It was the former chief disciple of Jumang Academy.


    The Zong Zi, upon seeing the pair, halted his water vessel and flew over to greet them.


    The cultivation technique practiced by the Zong Zi, which involves taking Wood Essence Golden Core Pills, had an effect similar to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, so after his graduation, he didn¡¯t seek a public post but joined the direct management of Empty Green Pharmacy Factory of Jumang Academy, all the while accumulating sixty years of service in the hopes of attempting Core Formation.


    ¡°Some Alchemy equipment has become rather old and needs replacing; I¡¯ve brought the manufacturers here to have a look.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei inquired about the Zong Zi¡¯s intentions, who pointed to the dozen people aboard his water vessel and explained.


    ¡°Is this for the equipment here and on Sulphur Guan Island?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei asked. Now managing the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory, she needed to sign off on major expenses like replacing Alchemy equipment, so she remembered such matters.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    The Zong Zi nodded.


    Chen Mobai, listening to the side, felt a stirring in his heart; for the past year, he had also been trying to find a way to bring over Alchemy equipment from the Immortal Gate to the Eastern Wilderness.


    He couldn¡¯t let Qing Women¡¯s talent for Alchemy go to waste.


    Moreover, the first batch of materials for the Return to True Elixir had been gathered at Giant Tree Ridge, and Chen Mobai had already handed these to Qing Women, who was pondering over the Alchemy Recipe and preparing to start refining shortly.


    His own collection from the second-hand market was insignificant compared to taking over equipment directly from a large factory in terms of speed and completeness.


    Yet to do so, he needed an excuse.


    Even though Wen Ren Xuewei trusted him unusually, without a valid reason, he could not simply ask for such a large batch of old Alchemy equipment.


    It seemed about time to open a pharmacy of his own in the Immortal Gate.


    After bidding farewell to the Zong Zi, they quickly reached Wood God Island.


    Peach Blossom Sage awaited them, and Chen Mobai immediately gifted two Appearance-fixing Pearls, eliciting a beaming smile from the recipient.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Senior Pei today; could it be that she is in closed-door cultivation?¡±


    Chen Mobai had come to Jumang Academy mainly to find her, and seeing only Peach Blossom Sage, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Sanjue is here, passing on some knowledge to her.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s words gave Chen Mobai a slight shock; of the fourteen Nascent Souls in Immortal Gate, the only one he had not met was this dean of Imperial Medical Academy, the Three Extremes Sage.


    ¡°I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to meet the Three Extremes Sage.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s daughter, Xiao Hei, owed her survival to the Three Extremes Sage, although not many were aware of this. Since she was present on Wood God Island today, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude in person.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait a bit. After Cui¡¯s Core Formation, her bloodline has awakened to some degree, and her constitution has undergone some changes¡­¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage, speaking to Chen Mobai, seemed somewhat relaxed and shared the reason for the Three Extremes Sage¡¯s visit.


    Apart from diagnosing Pei Qingshuang, there was something else.


    After Core Formation, Pei Qingshuang would be able to apply to use a Portal to establish her own Golden Core Domain.


    Originally, Peach Blossom Sage had intended to personally handle this, but Pei Qingshuang also wanted to save some face, feeling that it was a bit improper and thus persuaded her a bit.


    Peach Blossom Sage was very indulgent with her daughter, and since Pei Qingshuang was concerned about influences and worried people might say she relied on her mother, she requested the help of the Three Extremes Sage.


    Chen Mobai listened and nodded slightly.


    He proceeded to inquire when Pei Qingshuang might apply for a Portal, saying he himself had several friends at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, and if they knew the precise timing, the preparation for opening the Golden Core Domain could be more thorough.

    ¡°Cui¡¯s realm is quite stable now, but the awakening of her bloodline still requires adaptation, possibly another year or two.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage gave a rough estimate.


    Chen Mobai nodded.


    The timing was about right. This year, Yan Bingxuan and Xiao Hei had both naturally broken through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, owing largely to the bulk of their energy and time being spent on the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique.


    Given another two years, they would have a deeper understanding of the Power of Void, coupled with his guidance, opening the Golden Core Domain should be highly achievable.

 Chapter 1452 - Chapter 1452: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_2

    Chapter 1452: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_2


    Between their conversation, a delicate and pristine Spiritual Light lit upon a branch of the Great Chun Tree, causing Chen Mobai to involuntarily look up.


    Simultaneously, a silver light fluttered on the flower platform they were on, revealing an elderly man with rosy cheeks and a white beard.


    ¡°Greetings to Three Extremes Sage!¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei, who saw the old man¡¯s appearance, immediately paid her respects, and Chen Mobai quickly followed suit.


    ¡°You must be Chen Mobai of the Dance Instruments, brimming with vigor and vitality, strong as a dragon and fierce as a tiger, without a hint of sickness, what a fine body you have!¡±


    Three Extremes Sage apparently knew of Chen Mobai too and, having glanced at him, was satisfied to see the youth so energetic and robust, nodding in approval.


    ¡°Outside of cultivation, I occasionally spare some time for the Body Refining Technique, and have achieved minor accomplishments.¡±


    Chen Mobai was always modest in the face of an elder¡¯s compliment.


    ¡°How is Cui doing?¡±


    At this moment, Peach Blossom Sage interjected, pointing at the delicate white Spiritual Light and asked Three Extremes Sage.


    ¡°No problem, she is mastering your Longevity Immortal bloodline.¡±


    Three Extremes Sage said this without any reservation in front of Chen Mobai, who quietly noted the words ¡®Longevity Immortal¡¯.


    On the other hand, Peach Blossom Sage slightly frowned upon hearing this but did not find it appropriate to blame Three Extremes Sage.


    Suddenly, silence fell upon the flower platform.


    Peach Blossom Sage was obviously concerned that asking further might lead Three Extremes Sage to reveal more than she wanted others to know.


    At that moment, Wen Ren Xuewei had brewed the tea, serving the two Nascent Soul Superiors first, then to Chen Mobai and herself.


    However, Chen Mobai clearly did not want the matter of him having a daughter known by Peach Blossom Sage and Wen Ren Xuewei, so after greeting Three Extremes Sage, he did not take the time to express gratitude.


    But Chen Mobai had another matter on his mind to consult with Three Extremes Sage, promptly breaking the silence.


    ¡°May I ask the sage, after the Spiritual Root Value has reached 100 points, what profound transformations will occur?¡±


    Chen Mobai had also researched a lot about Immortal Spirit Roots using the resources of the Sky-Mending Group, but they were mostly piecemeal and not systematic.


    Having encountered the well-versed Three Extremes Sage in the Medicine Way today, it was an opportune moment to inquire.


    ¡°Hmm, you ask now, could it be that your Pure Yang Daoist Body is about to be completed?¡±


    The moment Three Extremes Sage spoke, Chen Mobai did not know how to reply, although he was indeed close to completion, within the Immortal Gate, such progress could not be so swift.


    ¡°That is the case, I am about to break through to the Golden Core Seventh Layer, but the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body has been stuck at the Eight Suns Realm. However, I estimate that on the day of Nine Suns Perfection, the Fire Spirit Root Value will definitely reach 100 points, hence I am quite curious about this.¡±


    Chen Mobai planned to ¡°break through¡± to the Golden Core Seventh Layer next year in the Immortal Gate, continuing to solidify his character as a prodigy.


    ¡°100 points is the limit of Spirit Roots, and it is Perfection that the human body can achieve. At this step, the Spirit Root can transcend the human body, constructing a bridge between the human and the Heavenly Way, allowing the human body to perceive, through this bridge, the Profound Mysteries of the Dao that are related to the Spirit Root Attributes.¡±


    ¡°In ancient legends, those who achieve this are already transformed from human to immortal, hence we name it ¡®Immortal Spirit Root¡¯.¡±


    ¡°However, Immortal Spirit Root is not entirely beneficial for cultivators, for this capability to connect with the Heavenly Way is supposed to be attained after becoming immortal. If gained prematurely, for those cultivators whose willpower is not firm enough, they might indulge in it.¡±


    ¡°According to studies from Repairing Heaven Institute, the moment of achieving Immortal Spirit Root, the first contact between the human body and the Great Tao acts akin to Wen Dao, but the Wen Dao during Foundation Establishment, due to the cultivator¡¯s insufficient realm and the physical barrier, cannot truly touch the Great Tao between Heaven and Earth, instead, gaining quite a few benefits unconsciously.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the Wen Dao during Immortal Spirit Root is much more intense than during Foundation Establishment, and many cultivators are unable to withstand the direct impact of the Heavenly Way, therefore must stop and give up the process of Wen Dao to avoid having their consciousness assimilated.¡±


    Saying this, Three Extremes Sage also mentioned some cases he knew about.


    There were also stubborn Immortal Spirit Root cultivators who attempted to use the Wen Dao process to break through the bottlenecks of great realms.


    But at the time of breaking through realms, where one¡¯s essence, qi, and spirit are most unstable, adding in the impact of the Heavenly Way only makes it like a spark to gunpowder.


    Most end up exploding and dying, leaving no remains.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    That¡¯s the worst case; there are some whose realms are stable who comprehend the Profound Mysteries of the Dao between Heaven and Earth during this time, but unconsciously indulge in it, and when they awaken, they find their Spiritual Power has dissipated into the Heavenly Way.


    Because the Heaven is indifferent and treats all beings as lowly dogs, whereas cultivators accumulate a lot of energy within their bodies, according to the Heavenly Way, this energy must disperse to fill other weaknesses.


    After discussing several unfavorable cases, Three Extremes Sage made Chen Mobai sweat slightly and drink several more cups of tea.


    Fortunately, apart from these, the other results of Wen Dao with Immortal Spirit Roots are generally beneficial.


    For instance, some cultivators directly use this opportunity to condense a strand of Innate Five Elements Essence Qi.

 Chapter 1453 - Chapter 1453: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_3

    Chapter 1453: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_3


    Some have obtained a Heavenly Divine Skill.


    Even the least talented can, after encountering the Immortal Spirit Root Wenda, gain a deeper understanding of their own cultivation techniques and spells.


    ¡°Thank you, Sage, for resolving my doubts!¡±


    After listening to the Three Extremes Sage¡¯s lecture, Chen Mobai immediately picked up his teacup to express his gratitude.


    ¡°And like her daughter, if it were to evolve into an Immortal Spirit Root, one could leverage the Heavenly Way to fully stimulate their bloodline, reaching a state of Perfection.¡±


    After finishing his drink, the Three Extremes Sage pointed to Pei Qingshuang within the Spiritual Light, prompting Peach Blossom Sage to frown slightly.


    This was another matter she didn¡¯t want others to know about.


    Just then, the Spiritual Light on the branch of the Great Chun Tree dissipated, revealing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s tall and graceful figure.


    She opened her clear and sparkling eyes, looking like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm, with a transcendent aura and peerless beauty.


    She quickly noticed the crowd below.


    ¡°Thank you, Sage, for your guidance.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang approached and thanked the Three Extremes Sage first, who carelessly waved his hand in response.


    Chen Mobai found that she seemed even more beautiful than the last time he saw her and that her cultivation level also seemed to have improved.


    Is this the power of the Longevity Immortal bloodline?


    ¡°Chen junior brother is also here today.¡±


    At this moment, after greeting Peach Blossom Sage and Wen Ren Xuewei, Pei Qingshuang addressed him.


    ¡°A few days ago, I achieved clarity in communicating with the Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s Sword Heart and planned to practice the Purple Qinghagara using the Purple and Green Double Swords. However, I hope to succeed on my first try, so I took this opportunity to come over to ask for Elder Sister Pei¡¯s help. Our two sword masters can join forces to see if we can condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy!¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that Pei Qingshuang might challenge his status as the Immortal Gate¡¯s top talent, so he couldn¡¯t help but speak up about his main purpose for coming today.


    Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, everyone who was calmly drinking tea stopped their movements, shocked as they looked at him.


    Even the transcendent Pei Qingshuang, who had just undergone a transformation through her bloodline, felt as if she had fallen from the heavens, her eyes widening in disbelief.


    ¡°You¡­ have bonded with the Qing Shuang Sword?¡±


    She was somewhat lost for words.


    ¡°Indeed, after more than a year of mutual adjustment, it has finally accepted me.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he gestured with his hand, and the Void opened. The Purple and Green Double Swords flew out, circling around him like awe-inspiring swimming dragons before quietly landing in his hands.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, your swordsmanship talent is perhaps no less than that of Ancestor Baiguang.¡±


    Ren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but exclaim upon witnessing this scene.


    ¡°Far from it, I just have some talent with the Sword Artifact; my Sword Dao still has a long way to go.¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly deferred as usual, but by this time, the others had already equated him with Ancestor Baiguang in their hearts, even feeling that he might surpass Baiguang.


    However, they couldn¡¯t voice this thought.


    [No wonder the ancestor favored this young man¡­]


    The Three Extremes Sage looked at the modest Chen Mobai and thought to himself, feeling that if he had time in the future, he might also benefit from more exchanges with this junior.


    He sensed that with the support of Ancestor Baiguang, even in an environment like the Immortal Gate, at the very least, he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.


    And perhaps, in the future, even achieving Divinity Transformation wasn¡¯t out of the question!


    ¡°Chen junior brother, how do you plan to try the Purple Qinghagara?¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang had also calmed her emotions, once again accepting the ¡°fact¡± that her own swordsmanship talent was far inferior to Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    She felt self-reproach for her previously inflated pride after awakening her bloodline.


    This junior brother before her could be called the unmatched talent of the Immortal Gate throughout the ages, yet he remained so humble. She had merely undergone one cleansing by the Longevity Immortal¡¯s Spiritual Light and had already grown arrogant, realizing her mindset was far behind his.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already communicated well with the Purple and Green Double Swords. Once we both ascend, the swords will automatically absorb the Two-yi Qi, and all we need to do is provide Spiritual Power.¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai had performed the Purple Qinghagara many times and was well-versed in the process.


    Moreover, this time when he came, he had already made it clear to the Purple and Green Double Swords not to open their spirits to anyone but him, to ensure clear communication.


    After all, the Double Swords only need to do the work!


    For the Double Swords, which were only beginning to develop spiritual awareness, they preferred simple commands and couldn¡¯t comprehend anything too complex.


    ¡°In that case, do we need to apply to the Sky-Net Management Bureau for access to the Two-yi Qi?¡±


    At this moment, Peach Blossom Sage thought of this and mentioned, knowing full well the process of condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy after having arranged for the Qing Shuang Sword for Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already applied in advance.¡±


    The Sky-Net Management Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Xianwu Hall, and Chen Mobai had personally notified Lan Haitian. The next day, Hua Zijing took care of all the procedures.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Does Cui need to rest a bit?¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage was somewhat concerned about her daughter and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    But Pei Qingshuang shook her head, indicating she was in the best condition she had ever been in. Besides, this opportunity was rare; without Chen Mobai, she estimated that she would need to wait until reaching Perfect Core Formation to attempt condensing the Two-yi Qi.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go up now.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he loosened his grip on the Qing Shuang Sword in his left hand. The sword, somewhat reluctantly, flew out and landed in front of Pei Qingshuang.

 Chapter 1454 - Chapter 1454: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_4

    Chapter 1454: Chapter 764 Immortal Spirit Root Related_4


    Pei Qingshuang felt a strange sense of heartache as she witnessed this scene.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go up and have a look together.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage still felt somewhat uneasy and spoke up, saying that Three Extremes Sage was also very interested in the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy and wanted to see if it could be used in medical treatment.


    Naturally, Wen Ren Xuewei woudn¡¯t miss out and wanted to see it for herself.


    Peach Blossom Sage activated his power, elevating the flower platform under their feet, and swiftly they passed through the Heavenly Curtain and arrived at the Ninth Layer of Di Yuan Star.


    Chen Mobai first released the Purple Electric Sword in his hand.


    And before Pei Qingshuang could even loosen her grip, the Qing Shuang Sword had already flown out on its own.


    As the hilts of the two swords locked together, Chen Mobai made a gesture, injecting his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, pretending to control the Purple and Green Double Swords!


    The same process occurred within the Ninth Layer of Di Yuan Star at the Immortal Gate.


    When Peach Blossom Sage saw strands of Two-yi Qi being absorbed by the Purple Qinghagara and condensing into deep purple and dark green flowing light within the swords, he couldn¡¯t help but show a look of surprise and delight.


    With this, the likelihood of Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation increased significantly.


    With her influence, acquiring the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine would definitely not be a problem.


    Furthermore, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Longevity Immortal bloodline also provided a boon for Nascent Soul Formation, and with the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, the probability exceeded fifty percent.


    Thinking of this, Peach Blossom Sage looked at Chen Mobai with increasing satisfaction.


    ¡°Sanjue, what do you think about Cui and Little Chen?¡±


    As Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang sat beneath the Purple Qinghagara, jointly supplying Spiritual Power to the Purple and Green Double Swords, Peach Blossom Sage suddenly asked Three Extremes Sage beside him.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Three Extremes Sage was stunned for a moment, somewhat unclear.


    ¡°Are they compatible?¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage outright asked, aware that when Chen Mobai had first bonded with the Purple Electric Sword, he had this idea, but unfortunately, the young man was somewhat arrogant and seemed to have rejected the proposal to marry into the family because of his childhood sweetheart Qing Nu.


    Now Peach Blossom Sage thought, if he didn¡¯t let him marry in, letting his daughter marry over was also feasible.


    ¡°I think¡­ your daughter and Little Chen, probably can¡¯t make it!¡±


    Three Extremes Sage indeed knew the truth but couldn¡¯t speak outright, so he tactfully hinted.


    ¡°This young man is clearly faithful in love; his childhood sweetheart was taken away by the Ascension Sect. To prevent him from being trapped by love and wasting his talent, I think we should let him start a new beautiful relationship, and after this matter is over, I need to give Cui a good talk.¡±


    Peach Blossom Sage was, however, very confident in his daughter, and as the Longevity Immortal blood lineage continued to show determination, Pei Qingshuang would increasingly reveal her celestial beauty, and she had yet another trump card.


    She didn¡¯t believe Chen Mobai could remain unmoved.


    ¡°When it comes to love, I think it¡¯s better to let it happen naturally rather than forcing it!¡±


    Three Extremes Sage spoke again from the side.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai acted, condensing the Two-yi Qi within the sword into Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, this impressive scene solidified Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s determination even more.


    Only he, was worthy of his daughter!


    ¡°Who would have thought? The first condensation was successful, really lucky!¡±


    Chen Mobai, maneuvering the Red Misty Cloud Silk, brought the somewhat breathless Pei Qingshuang, who had depleted her Spiritual Power, to the three spectators, and said with a smile.


    At this time, the Purple and Green Double Swords also detached from the Qinghagara formation and eagerly returned to the Domain.


    Since it was inappropriate to give Spirit Stones within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai had already paid this time¡¯s reward in advance, kept inside the Domain.


    The two swords, having consumed quite a bit in deploying the Purple Qinghagara, also needed to go back and absorb Superior Quality Spirit Stones to recover.


    Pei Qingshuang, who had originally wanted to reconnect with the Qing Shuang Sword, felt even more disappointed upon witnessing this scene.


    ¡°This time, it was all thanks to Elder Sister Pei¡¯s crucial Qingxiao Spiritual Power that helped us. Consider this tube of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy as a token of gratitude for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai, intending to play a long game, directly handed the tube over to Pei Qingshuang.


    Peach Blossom Sage looked at Chen Mobai with eyes that conveyed more than just satisfaction; she already regarded him as her son-in-law.


    Three Extremes Sage felt a pang of envy; even he had never researched the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    However, Pei Qingshuang felt unworthy and repeatedly declined.


    But Chen Mobai was determined to give it to her.


    ¡°How about you let me study it first,¡± the envious Three Extremes Sage shamelessly interjected. ¡°I noticed Little Chen, you struggled a bit while merging the Two-yi Qi. Let me see if I can figure out a simpler method, or maybe use some equipment to facilitate the fusion.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was stuck in a dilemma, as she owed a great debt to Three Extremes Sage and found it difficult to refuse his request, but she didn¡¯t feel the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy was hers to give.


    ¡°Elder Sister Pei, you decide. It¡¯s yours now.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Pei Qingshuang nodded and handed the item over to Three Extremes Sage.


    ¡°Very well, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll just study it, and after my research, I will return it to you. Hahaha, Elder Yuanxu would be so jealous if he knew I have this item!¡±


    Three Extremes Sage eagerly took the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy and bid farewell to Peach Blossom Sage, soaring into the sky.


    He couldn¡¯t wait to return to his lab at the Imperial Medical Academy.


    However, this matter couldn¡¯t be kept secret.


    After all, everything within the Immortal Gate is under the observation of the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network. Chen Mobai and his companions condensed the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy openly, so as soon as they landed on Wood God Island, Elder Yuanxu had already called Chen Mobai¡¯s phone.


    Elder Yuanxu was quite straightforward in asking if he could acquire a strand of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, allowing Chen Mobai to name his conditions.


    Chen Mobai honestly explained that although the first attempt was successful, he wasn¡¯t sure if a second attempt would fail.


    Moreover, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Spiritual Power was depleted, and she would need at least a month to recover.


    ¡°I¡¯ll come over, and we can discuss this in person.¡±


    But Elder Yuanxu¡¯s passion for research was something Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t fathom. After explaining the difficult process of condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, Elder Yuanxu had already booked his flight.


    ¡°I am at Linwu Cave Haven for official duties, but I shall return to Wangwu Cave Heaven soon¡­¡±


    ¡°I will call Narcissus, just wait for me!¡±


    Elder Yuanxu didn¡¯t give Chen Mobai any chance to refuse and hung up the phone.


    Chen Mobai was left helpless.


    Their conversation wasn¡¯t concealed from Peach Blossom Sage and others. After hearing it, Peach Blossom Sage was somewhat displeased.


    She could accept giving some to Three Extremes, as after all, it was his intervention that allowed the birth of Pei Qingshuang.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But why should Elder Yuanxu ask her daughter and son-in-law to laboriously condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy for him!


    Just as she was about to call and scold Elder Yuanxu, a call came in first.


    ¡°Yes, yes, understood!¡±


    After answering, Peach Blossom Sage¡¯s attitude dramatically changed; after ending the call, she spoke with a distressed expression:


    ¡°Leading Star Ancestor also wants a sample of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy for research!¡±

 Chapter 1455 - Chapter 1455: Chapter 765: Pure Yang Qi

    Chapter 1455: Chapter 765: Pure Yang Qi


    If Leading Star Ancestor needs something, it will certainly be arranged immediately!


    After Elder Yuanxu arrived, he even took the initiative to step aside.


    Narcissus Sage personally made a call to express that Chen Mobai has been granted an extended leave, free to return whenever he wishes.


    However, Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t want to take a leave at all. He originally just wanted to demonstrate his Purple Qinghagara at Jumang Academy, showing that he can condense Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, and to lay the groundwork for his future so that he wouldn¡¯t need to use the Immortal Gate¡¯s Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine.


    But he underestimated the allure of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    Now, under these circumstances, he has no choice but to first provide a strand for Leading Star Ancestor.


    Peach Blossom Sage has already arranged the best Fifth-Order Spiritual Energy to help Pei Qingshuang recover her Spiritual Power.


    Because Chen Mobai has the Small Void that stores Pure Yang Spiritual Power, condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy doesn¡¯t consume his energy at all.


    Yet, under the circumstances, he also pretends to be greatly depleted of Elemental Energy.


    This way, when others come to him in the future seeking Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, he can use this as an excuse to refuse.


    However, he definitely can¡¯t recover slower than Pei Qingshuang, and also needs to maintain his persona of having a profound foundation; hence, after secluding himself for a week on Wood God Island, he was forced to end his seclusion.


    Elder Yuanxu, who had already been there, immediately invited him for tea.


    As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it was certain that Elder Yuanxu possessed an entire island rich in Spiritual Energy for his residence. When Chen Mobai arrived, he saw Elder Yuanxu already seated in a pavilion that extended from the island, with tea already prepared.


    ¡°If there is anything you need, just mention it. I¡¯ll see if I can fulfill it.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu spoke very directly, clearly valuing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy greatly.


    They are all respectable figures of the Immortal Gate, who would certainly not take anything for free.


    ¡°I heard that Yuanyang Ancestor left behind a ¡®Pure Yang Qi¡¯ at Repairing Heaven Institute¡­¡±


    After considering, Chen Mobai mentioned this.


    This Pure Yang Qi was something he had coveted for a long time, yet even Nangong Xuanyu couldn¡¯t obtain it, let alone him; he hadn¡¯t even dared to think about it before.


    But now that Elder Yuanxu had spoken, he took the opportunity to bring it up.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t be possible, as that is the sole remaining piece of Immortal Gate¡¯s unique legacy. If I give it to you, there will be none left.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu¡¯s response filled Chen Mobai with regret.


    However, he understood this as well, since on the Immortal Gate¡¯s side, there were clear legal stipulations against using the last of any unique Spiritual Objects resources.


    Should the Immortal Gate one day enter a golden era, with a genius achieving a technological breakthrough capable of artificially replicating these unique items, having these resources left to seed could change the world.


    For instance, the Earth Fiend Qi synthesized by Elder Yuanxu.


    If the Immortal Gate didn¡¯t preserve enough Earth Fiend Qi seeds, even with the technology, they would be powerless.


    ¡°Then, I don¡¯t have any other requests, but after all, I¡¯ve also studied at Patching Heaven and can assist you. Once Elder Sister Pei and I finish preparing that strand for the ancestor, I¡¯ll immediately arrange for yours.¡±


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai had a favorable impression of Elder Yuanxu, since Zhou Shengqing was able to achieve his Legal Body Nascent Soul all thanks to his creation of Return to the Sun Spirit Water.


    Moreover, condensing a strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy was not necessarily difficult for him, merely troublesome.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After listening, Elder Yuanxu didn¡¯t refuse, accepting the offer plainly. Following a moment of hesitation, he added something that filled Chen Mobai with hope.


    ¡°As for the Pure Yang Qi, there actually might be a way¡­¡±


    The Pure Yang Qi left by Yuanyang Ancestor is at the Fifth Order Peak level, specifically left behind for pointing the way for future Pure Yang Taoist seeds of the Immortal Gate before his passing away in meditation.


    According to Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s will, if anyone transcends their mortal body with the Pure Yang Scroll, they can refine this peak-tier Pure Yang Qi and follow the unfinished path of his cultivation.


    Yet, owing to the high level of this Pure Yang Qi, almost as high as the Immortal Gate can reach, virtually every Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) succeeding Yuanyang Ancestor has extracted a strand to study.


    ¡°This time, with Master Qianxing backing you and you needing to condense Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy for him, I¡¯ll see if it¡¯s possible to allocate a strand of Pure Yang Qi to you in his name.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu¡¯s words startled and delighted Chen Mobai.


    However, this matter would definitely have to be reported to Leading Star Ancestor.


    Yuan Xu wouldn¡¯t dare decide on his own.


    But had it been someone else, Yuan Xu wouldn¡¯t even have spoken such words.


    Chen Mobai watched him respectfully take out his phone and make a call, within the entire Immortal Gate, obviously only Huashen Ancestor could command such attitude from Yuan Xu.


    The call did not connect at first.


    Nevertheless, Yuan Xu appeared unperturbed, as it was known that Leading Star Ancestor would not take calls while gaming and would have to finish the game first.

    After explaining this to Chen Mobai, Yuan Xu made another call.


    The voice on the other side of the phone was recognized by Chen Mobai.


    It was Chen Chun!


    Both Huashen Ancestors had disciples serving by their side; Ancestor Baiguang had Yu Huiping, and Leading Star Ancestor had Chen Chun.


    But as Yuan Xu was among the direct disciples of the Leading Star Ancestor within the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, even Chen Chun was relatively courteous over the phone, saying she would let the ancestor know after he finished his game.

 Chapter 1456 - Chapter 1456: Chapter 765 Pure Yang Qi_2

    Chapter 1456: Chapter 765 Pure Yang Qi_2


    While he waited, two hours had passed.


    Elder Yuanxu saw the phone call reconnected by Leading Star Ancestor and immediately activated a silencing restriction before he answered.


    About five minutes later, the conversation between master and apprentice came to an end.


    ¡°Ancestor has no objections; once the refinement of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy is complete, you may return with me to the Repairing Heaven Institute, and I will divide a strand of Pure Yang Qi for you.¡±


    Hearing Elder Yuanxu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    It was worth being the first to arrange things with Leading Star Ancestor after getting the news.


    Chen Mobai then asked about the Immortal Spiritual Root, and Elder Yuanxu indeed knew more than Three Extremes Sage. To his surprise, this information was stored within his Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    After finishing his explanation, Elder Yuanxu directly transmitted these contents to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Our Daoist Academy once conducted many experiments at the moment when the Immortal Spiritual Root forms, trying to control the state and direct the fruits of Hearing the Path toward what the cultivator themselves need.¡±


    ¡°Among these, the most difficult is to perceive the Heavenly Way to attain Immortal Art Divine Power, because it requires an extremely deep process of Hearing the Path, and cultivators may easily become lost; the middling achievement is the condensation of the Innate Five Elements Essence Qi, which requires depth and the ability to maintain one¡¯s true nature throughout the process of Hearing the Path; the simplest is the comprehension of one¡¯s own cultivation technique, to restrain one¡¯s greed, and to taste but not indulge in the process of Hearing the Path.¡±


    ¡°Since you have achieved the Immortal Spiritual Root after birth, lacking the Innate Five Elements Essence Qi, you may attempt to strive in this direction, which would give you a greater hope in your Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Through this incident, Chen Mobai¡¯s relationship with Elder Yuanxu progressed further, as this leading scientific researcher of the Immortal Gate even actively offered him guidance.


    However, Yuanxu was unaware that, when Chen Mobai first established his foundation, due to the Twin Phase Technique, he underwent Foundation Establishment twice. During the latter Foundation Establishment with the Pure Yang Scroll, it was a Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, and he received a strand of Innate Fire-element Essence Qi which transformed his body into a Fire Spirit Body.


    ¡°I will study this first; after all, it¡¯s still early before the accomplishment of the Pure Yang Daoist Body can be perfected.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Elder Yuanxu nod in agreement.


    Within the Immortal Gate, the Pure Yang Daoist Body is notoriously easy to start but difficult to master, and progress slows down significantly as one advances. Although Chen Mobai¡¯s affinity with the Pure Yang Scroll was almost perfect, to really attain the Immortal Spiritual Root, indeed, there was still a long way to go.


    Next, Chen Mobai also expressed his concerns about Principal Chengxuan, who was in seclusion to experiment with the Blooming Moment Technique, and he asked Elder Yuanxu for advice on this forbidden technique.


    ¡°The research has almost been completed; now we are just waiting for the experimental data from Chengxuan.¡±


    But Elder Yuanxu revealed a truth unknown to Chen Mobai.


    It turned out that Principal Chengxuan¡¯s seclusion to experiment with Blooming Moment also had Yuanxu¡¯s backing.


    In fact, it was he and Yu Yi, under the guidance of Leading Star Ancestor, who jointly researched and deduced this forbidden technique to ensure that Master Huakai didn¡¯t conceal or tamper with anything.


    After the forbidden technique was confirmed through deduction, they needed experimental data, and chose Chengxuan over Lin Daoming, with Yu Yi personally tracking and safeguarding the entire experiment.


    As for why they chose Chengxuan, it was because Lin Daoming had shown signs of collusion with the Ascension Sect, and it was also a way to discipline him.


    ¡°What a pity that Senior Lin ultimately chose to leave the Immortal Gate¡­¡±


    At this point, Elder Yuanxu sighed deeply and said no more.


    After all, Lin Daoming¡¯s defection involved many secrets of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, and even Leading Star Ancestor, so naturally, it wasn¡¯t something he could share with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Elder, Blooming Moment is after all a forbidden technique; if Principal Chengxuan really achieves Divinity Transformation through it, wouldn¡¯t it be considered a violation of the Dao Law of the Immortal Gate?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask, a question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.


    After all, practicing forbidden techniques is generally reviled within the Immortal Gate.


    His Sky-Mending Group specifically targeted those within the Immortal Gate who practiced forbidden techniques.


    Gu Changfeng is still being detained and punished for it!


    ¡°Within the Immortal Gate, Nascent Soul Cultivators are allowed to apply for research on forbidden techniques. Since we speak of research, it naturally entails thorough understanding, and it is normal for them to practice it.¡±


    ¡°So in the National Library, Nascent Soul Cultivators have the authority to download forbidden techniques, because of this reason.¡±


    ¡°But to prevent cultivators from truly becoming mired in forbidden techniques, even Nascent Soul Cultivators can only apply for one forbidden technique, and they must have the consent of at least one Huashen Ancestor.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Elder, actually, there has always been a matter weighing on my heart, and that is Yu Tianguang, the Red-Robed True Person from Red Sandstone City, who was bewitched into practicing the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°My chance to enter the Dance Tool Dao Academy was due in part to a favor from him, and his once-promising future was ruined by this incident. I was one of those who destroyed his future, so I¡¯ve always harbored feelings of responsibility and an unresolved knot in my heart.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, I¡¯ve been thinking if it¡¯s possible to solve the aftermath of the Devour God Technique, to rescue him from the control of the Divine Control Pavilion Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke these words spontaneously, with sincerity and determination in his eyes, which made Elder Yuanxu sigh in admiration at such gratitude and benevolence.


    ¡°The Devour God Technique, even among the Antiquity Daoist System, ranks within the top three extraordinary methods. For thousands of years in the Immortal Gate, countless capable and determined people have sought to improve it and eliminate the negative effects after being implanted with a God Seed, but to little avail.¡±

 Chapter 1457 - Chapter 1457: Chapter 765 Pure Yang Qi_3

    Chapter 1457: Chapter 765 Pure Yang Qi_3


    ¡°The Twofold Divine Technique was originally devised by the wide-awakening ancestor of our lineage. It allows one to sever the God Seeds planted by the enemy along with a portion of one¡¯s own will, barely managing to escape the influence of the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°I also know about Yu Tianguang¡¯s situation. Master Chengxuan had already applied for the Twofold Divine Technique for him, but since he was drained of his elemental energy by the Divine Control Pavilion Master, his foundation was completely destroyed, making cultivation extremely difficult. To this day, he is still in prison, if you really want to help him, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be an easy task.¡±


    Elder Yuanxu mentioned another matter unknown to Chen Mobai; back then, Yu Tianguang was only left with a breath when taken away. At that time, both his cultivation level and position were inadequate, so he didn¡¯t dare to pay attention or inquire further.


    He only knew that Master Chengxuan had reached an agreement with Narcissus, and he didn¡¯t expect that Master Chengxuan would do so much afterwards.


    One can only say that he, as the principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is very responsible.


    ¡°One must always try their best. If nothing is done, I will never be at peace in this lifetime!¡±


    Facing Elder Yuanxu, Chen Mobai declared with a resolute face.


    ¡°When you reach the Nascent Soul Formation in the future, I will mention this to Master Qianxing. The practitioners of the Devour God Technique, if their nature becomes crooked, can easily cause great calamities. But with you, there will definitely be no problem.¡±


    The firmness of Chen Mobai¡¯s Dao Heart in cultivation is known throughout the Immortal Gate.


    A cultivator focused solely on bitter cultivation!


    If not for the decline in talents at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he might still be secluded in Danxia Mountain and not have come down from the mountain.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder!¡±


    Chen Mobai has been wanting to study and practice the Devour God Technique for more than a day or two.


    Especially since his cultivation in essence, qi, and spirit sees the slowest progress in Divine Consciousness Technique, particularly after switching to the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram.


    This technique, born from Tian Shu, if he was to cultivate it bit by bit through bitter cultivation, might see him nearly achieve perfection in the Pure Yang Daoist Body before moving past the fourth level.


    The subsequent levels in Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, which augment the Phoenix traits, hold incredible benefits for cultivators.


    Chen Mobai hoped not to find himself crippled by resources pushing the Pure Yang Scroll while stuck on the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram.


    If he could cultivate the Devour God Technique, then none of this would be a problem.


    He also had the confidence not to step into the Evil Path with this forbidden technique. After all, in the Tianhe Realm, there are many powerful spirit plants.


    He could completely hang his Devour God Technique onto the Great Dao Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and using the methods of the Path of Heaven, draw the powerful divine consciousness from the tree to supplement what he lacks with abundance!


    It¡¯s just a pity that he needs to reach the Nascent Soul stage before he can apply.


    He also didn¡¯t know if Leading Star Ancestor would agree then.


    If the Leading Star Ancestor disagrees, then he would plead with Ancestor Baiguang from the main branch of Weapon Dancing Sect, whose relative Yu Tianguang is also part of, believing Ancestor Baiguang would be compassionately moved.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt that today¡¯s conversation with Elder Yuanxu was immensely fruitful.


    Even without the reward of Pure Yang Qi, it¡¯s worth giving him a strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    One month later!


    Exhausted Pei Qingshuang, just out of seclusion, along with Chen Mobai, jointly condensed the strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy from Leading Star Ancestor.


    Peach Blossom Sage personally delivered it to Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    In the second month, Elder Yuanxu also received his strand.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai stayed another month, condensing another strand intended for Wang Shuye.


    Unfortunately, for it to be useful in Nascent Soul Formation, at least a complete strand is needed; this little bit had a minimal effect.


    However, regardless, it¡¯s still a gesture from Chen Mobai.


    After the condensation was complete, he didn¡¯t stay at Jumang Academy.


    During these three months, he also made a deal with Wen Ren Xuewei.


    That was to buy out the pharmaceutical equipment being phased out by the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory. For this purpose, Chen Mobai approached his close friend Wang Xingyu, who had joined the Guang Bai Medicine Factory at the Dance Tool Dao Academy after graduating. Besides honing his skills and accumulating years of service, he also opened a medicine shop, using his connections to acquire many elixirs, making quite a profit.


    Since Chen Mobai¡¯s medicine shop was still just a verbal agreement, while the Empty Green Pharmacy urgently needed to dispose of this equipment, Wang Xingyu stepped forward and his medicine shop took over this batch of equipment.


    Of course, the Good Deed Points were provided by Chen Mobai.


    This sort of matter, Wang Xingyu was definitely willing to help, even personally visiting Jumang Academy to coordinate the transaction with Zong Zi, who was in charge of this matter at Empty Green Pharmacy.


    These devices, after being ingested by Wang Xingyu, were transported to the puppet factory in Red Sandstone City as Chen Mobai had instructed.


    Chen Mobai, following Elder Yuanxu to the Repairing Heaven Institute, obtained the strand of Pure Yang Qi, and just like that, it was the year-end.


    He returned to Wangwu Cave Heaven, went to visit Narcissus first, but still couldn¡¯t meet her; however, Gongsun Jielu¡¯s attitude towards him was unprecedentedly amiable.


    Within the Sky-Mending Group, because two secretaries and the deputy general manager Lin Yin were outstanding, along with Chen Mobai occasionally remotely controlling over phone, this department operated smoothly.


    After Chen Mobai dealt with the accumulated tasks and documents from this period, he noted that it was almost year-end.


    He was concerned about the alchemy devices in Red Sandstone City, and after the news of him condensing the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy spread, many Golden Core Masters frequently visited him.


    These visitors were at least council members from the Kaiyuan Hall, or actual ministers from the Three Great Halls, none were refused.


    Chen Mobai then used the re-evaluation of Gu Changfeng, a practitioner of Forbidden Technique, as a pretext to send himself to Yu Wood City.


    After handing off the matters of the Sky-Mending Group once again to Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai greeted his friends like Lan Haitian, and then prepared to leave Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    Of course, before leaving, he didn¡¯t forget another matter.


    ¡°Zijing, kindly make a trip to Snow Sea Cave Heaven for me and hand this over to senior Wang Shuye.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed a box to Hua Zijing; he initially wanted to go himself, but being too busy, he could only ask her to run the errand.


    ¡°Alright, chief, do you have any message that needs to be conveyed?¡±


    Hua Zijing took the box and immediately had Zhuang Jialan help book the tickets, ready to leave at once.


    ¡°This item is quite precious; you must personally deliver it into his hands. If he has already entered seclusion, do not disturb him; just bring it back.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai say this, Hua Zijing got curious but soon realized something, widened her eyes, and her hands holding the box trembled slightly.


    ¡°Could this possibly be¡­ the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy?¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and nodded, then activated the Underworld Array, teleporting away from the office.


    Hua Zijing suddenly felt as if she were holding a heavy burden in her hands.


    The remaining members of the Sky-Mending Group looked over with fervent gazes.


    This was practically comparable to Infant Forming Spirit Medicine!


    If the chief ascends to a higher position in the future, might they also receive a share?


    With such thoughts, all members of the Sky-Mending Group worked even more diligently.


    If it were in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would definitely not trust Hua Zijing to deliver the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, but this was within the Immortal Gate!


    He was still confident in the security of the Immortal Gate.


    After returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai immediately registered a pharmacy in the name of Shi Wanyu.


    With him giving an introduction, the Immortal Gate naturally gave green light all the way.


    ¡°I can procure goods from Empty Green and Guangbai Pharmacy Factory, running this pharmacy will surely not incur any losses. Placing it under your name, I also want you to have some tasks and simultaneously earn more Good Deed Points, even though you don¡¯t prefer indulgences, but it¡¯s best for our daughter to grow up in wealth¡­¡±


    That evening, Chen Mobai, hugging the voluptuous beautiful woman in his arms, explained the purpose of opening a pharmacy to her.


    After listening, Shi Wanyu nodded continuously, thinking that this was Chen Mobai¡¯s way of providing more material conditions for both mother and daughter.


    After becoming Chen Mobai¡¯s wife, she no longer sold flowers.


    And now that her parents were gone, it was time to find something for herself to do.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While Shi Wanyu was busy with the newly opened pharmacy, Chen Mobai had already placed those alchemy devices useful for refining the Return to True Elixir into his own domain, taking them to Mount Tianpeng in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Qing Nu¡¯s alchemy skills were of course trustworthy.


    After the New Year, a batch was already refined.


    However, since it was the first batch, only six elixirs were produced and there was also some residual Dan Poison.


    Although it was merely less than 0.3%, Qing Nu was somewhat dissatisfied.

 Chapter 1458 - Chapter 1458: Chapter 766 Gold Core 8th Layer

    Chapter 1458: Chapter 766 Gold Core 8th Layer


    Chen Mobai is not afraid of Dan Poison, so after Qing Nu refined the six Return to True Elixirs, he directly consumed one on Mount Tianpeng.


    This is an elixir within the Immortal Gate that specifically enhances the Spiritual Power of cultivators above the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage. Initially, it was also added to the Elixir Scripture of Longevity after Chen Mobai¡¯s careful selection.


    Since it was the first consumption, the effect was exceptionally remarkable.


    At the top of Mount Tianpeng, nature¡¯s spiritual energy, like through a funnel, gathered ceaselessly towards the towering phantom image.


    Chen Mobai sat cross-legged in the wooden hut, his External Incarnation emerged and dominated the entire mountaintop and half of the sky. The Crown of Heaven and Earth shone brightly in its most perfect state, harnessing the medicinal power of Return to True Elixir and absorbing the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth to refine and enhance his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    The effect of Return to True Elixir helps cultivators to accelerate the refining of Spiritual Energy to enhance Spiritual Power, rather than directly generating Spiritual Power. This makes the Spiritual Power gained from consuming the elixir less likely to be weak or unsubstantial.


    This is also one of the principles of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Alchemy.


    After fully refining a Return to True Elixir, Chen Mobai used Inner Observation to check his progress and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    Pure Yang Scroll Core Formation Chapter¡¯s Seventh Layer at 32.7%!


    The medicinal power of the Return to True Elixir had boosted his progress by nearly thirty percent.


    Based on this calculation, even if the effect diminished with each consumption, as long as he consumed all six Return to True Elixirs, he could firmly advance to the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core.


    Indeed, bringing Qing Nu to the Eastern Wilderness was the right choice.


    With this batch of Return to True Elixirs as practice, Qing Nu was confident that the next batch could be refined without Dan Poison, which could then be consumed by the other Golden Core Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect.


    One pill for Mo Douguang would certainly bring him to Perfect Core Formation.


    Fu Zongjue, Nu Jiang, and Sheng Zhaoxi, all at the peak of the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage¨Cespecially the latter two, stuck in this Realm for nearly a hundred years¨Ccould potentially break through with Return to True Elixirs.


    However, after discussing this with Qing Nu, she expressed that using Return to True Elixirs for such purposes would be too wasteful.


    Within the Immortal Gate, there is a Breakthrough Barrier Pill specifically for breaking through the bottlenecks of the Golden Core Realm, which is very suitable.


    Chen Mobai was actually aware of this, but because this elixir also required many ingredients unique to the Immortal Gate, unlike Return to True Elixir, which Yan Shaoyin had adapted to local herbs, it could be easily refined according to his Alchemy Recipe and the collected materials.


    ¡°Leave this to me.¡±


    But Qing Nu was full of confidence, being a genius in Alchemy within the Immortal Gate. The Jumang Academy had ignored her abnormally low birth status to recruit her, chiefly because of her Heavenly Spiritual Root, but also in large part due to this reason.


    According to the entrance evaluation report of Jumang Academy, she was considered to have the potential to become a Fifth-Order Alchemist.


    Unfortunately, she later gave up the opportunity to further her studies in Jumang Academy for Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, choosing instead to join the Sky-Mending Group.


    It was because of this event that Jumang Academy subsequently gave up on her.


    ¡°Then I will trouble you.¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu say this, Chen Mobai also set his mind at ease.


    Handling the modification of the Breakthrough Barrier Pill, for him, might require drinking a good two or three pots of Enlightenment Tea to accomplish¨Csomehow more trouble than it¡¯s worth.


    ¡°So how will you thank me?¡±


    Qing Nu, wearing a green and white elegant cheongsam that outlined her graceful figure, asked with a smile after hearing this.


    Chen Mobai had just experienced an increase in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power and was in a state of exuberant Yang energy. Upon hearing her words, he immediately laughed and pulled her into his embrace.


    Soon, the rustling sound of the elegant cheongsam being thrown off the bed arose.


    Before long, the wooden hut was filled with the air of spring!


    After lingering for several days, Chen Mobai left Mount Tianpeng with some reluctance.


    When he returned to the Immortal Gate, the Spring Festival holiday was nearly over.


    However, he used the pretext that his Cultivation Level showed signs of breakthrough and asked Narcissus for an extended leave.


    Such a reason would be approved by any supervisor in the Immortal Gate, let alone Chen Mobai.


    Narcissus directly told him that as long as he arranged the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s affairs well, he could return whenever he wished.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai was extremely grateful that he had found Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, or else he might constantly worry about his work even while on leave.


    When he spoke with Hua Zijing, she informed Chen Mobai that the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy had already been delivered to Wang Shuye, who had asked her to express his thanks.


    Actually, after receiving it, Wang Shuye had also called Chen Mobai to express gratitude.


    But still, Chen Mobai said to Hua Zijing: ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    After sorting out the affairs of the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai also told his family that he had a breakthrough in his cultivation and went to the top of Danxia Mountain for seclusion.


    Of course, it was a seclusion in name only¨Che actually activated Turtle Treasure.


    After returning to the Eastern Wilderness, he did not stop at Giant Tree Ridge but went directly to Northern Abyss City.


    Because the Five Elements Commerce Association had already assembled, Yue Zutao was about to set out.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    And if one wished to go to the East Land, one had to pass through the East Barbarians, hence the Five Elements Commerce Association¡¯s caravan was gathering in Northern Abyss City.


    ¡°Nephew Yue, this journey will be long and fraught with danger. Take this Golden Flame Sword Talisman with you for protection.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over one of the most powerful Talismans he had drawn to Yue Zutao, who received it solemnly with both hands.


    Once activated, this Golden Flame Sword Talisman had the power of a Flame Sun Slash unleashed with all of Chen Mobai¡¯s strength.


    It could almost be considered one of the most powerful attack Talismans within the Golden Core Stage.

 Chapter 1459 - Chapter 1459: Chapter 766: Golden Core Eighth Layer_2

    Chapter 1459: Chapter 766: Golden Core Eighth Layer_2


    [In dangerous situations, remember to preserve your useful self.]


    After receiving the talisman, Chen Mobai transmitted a message to him.


    It¡¯s very difficult for the Five Elements Sect to cultivate a Golden Core Cultivator, and he didn¡¯t want Yue Zutao to fall beyond the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader, you take care too!¡±


    Yue Zutao nodded, stored the Golden Flame Sword Talisman into his storage bag, boarded a flying boat, and with a hundred-person team from the Five Elements Commerce Association and ten full storage bags of goods, left Northern Abyss City and entered the Ruins.


    After sending off the Five Elements Commerce Association, Chen Mobai dealt with the affairs of Northern Abyss City.


    However, since there were direct descendants such as E Yun managing the city, there was basically no need for him to worry.


    There was just one thing that drew his attention after he learned of it.


    That was the highest peak of Northern Abyss City, where the soil previously treated with Origin Field Nourishing Fertility had almost seventy percent transformed and upgraded into Rank-4 Everlife Soil.


    This meant that soon, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree transplanted here could be attempted to be leveled up into Rank-4 Everlife Wood using the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth method.


    This matter also reminded Chen Mobai of another Rank-4 Spirit Vein he had treated with Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.


    Liu Jia Mountain.


    Chen Mobai did not hide his arrival, and soon, a green Spiritual Light shone, transforming into a silver-dressed, beautiful female cultivator.


    ¡°Foster Father, you haven¡¯t visited in a long time!¡±


    Yin Qingmei gleefully greeted Chen Mobai upon seeing him.


    The two had a chat in mid-air, and then another yellow streak of Escaping Light flew over from afar. It was Zhuo Ming.


    After her arrival, Yin Qingmei began addressing Chen Mobai as Sect Leader.


    ¡°Today, I came mainly to see how the Everlife Soil of Liu Jia Mountain is doing. With Ming¡¯er managing it, I reckon it should nearly be completely transformed by now.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuo Ming nodded with a happy face.


    ¡°I was just about to report this matter to Master. In the next couple of days, the soil treated with Origin Field Nourishing Fertility can all evolve into Everlife Soil.¡±


    During their conversation, the three had already landed on the peak of Liu Jia Mountain.


    Aside from the central Biyu Wutong Tree, another three-level peak Golden Sun Spirit Tree was lush and thriving, hinting at strands of Green-sun Fire rising amongst the leaves, causing the air to slightly distort.


    As soon as he saw this scene, Chen Mobai knew that this Golden Sun Spirit Tree was well-cared for by Zhuo Ming and had a solid foundation.


    ¡°Very good, Ming¡¯er. You should water it with the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations next. If this Golden Sun Spirit Tree can advance on its own, that would also save me from using the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth method and retain its potential for further advancement in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and took out a vial of Rank-4 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, which Zhuo Ming, recognizing the value of the Spiritual Water, accepted with both hands very carefully.


    Although the Everlife Soil could all complete its transformation in the next two days, via Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, they knew that the Golden Sun Spirit Tree would have the highest potential to upgrade during the summer, when the climate was most suitable.


    Therefore, after discussing with his disciple, Chen Mobai decided to wait another half a year, to ensure the highest probability of the Golden Sun Spirit Tree¡¯s advancement.


    After all, for them now, the demand for resources was not so urgent, and they had the time to wait.


    Next, Chen Mobai took the Haotian Mirror from Yin Qingmei¡¯s hands and extracted a portion of the Pure Yang Purple Qi accumulated inside.


    ¡°Qing Mei, you¡¯ve also worked hard. Take this vial of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, you can dilute it and water your Destiny Spirit Plant bit by bit.¡±


    After forming her Golden Core, Yin Qingmei also worked harder for Chen Mobai.


    Those who contribute should be rewarded.


    Chen Mobai had exchanged for six vials of Rank-4 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations from the Peach Blossom Sage using the Water Spirit Pearl.


    Two vials were to be used on the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, one vial for upgrading the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruit, and he did not plan to keep the remaining three vials.


    One vial was given to Zhuo Ming to stimulate the Golden Sun Spirit Tree¡¯s preparation for advancement, and another vial for the Golden Sun Spirit Tree in Northern Abyss City.


    The last remaining vial was just right to reward Yin Qingmei.


    Her Biyu Wutong could advance more quickly, which would in turn promote her Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture cultivation more rapidly.


    Moreover, this Spirit Plant was one that could potentially be upgraded without limit, and Chen Mobai was curious to see, in an environment like Tianhe Realm where resources were abundant, what extent it could reach.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader!¡±


    Yin Qingmei had seen Zhuo Ming use a drop of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations on the Biyu Wutong Tree, which helped her Destiny Spirit Plant upgrade to Rank-3.


    At that time, she was quite envious.


    However, she also knew that this Rank-4 Spiritual Water, capable of promoting the growth of Spirit Plants, was even more precious than Rank-4 elixirs.


    Even more so, Yin Qingmei felt that Golden Liquid Jade Pill was not as valuable as Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Originally, she thought she would never be able to acquire such precious Spiritual Water in her lifetime, but today, her foster father surprisingly gave her a whole vial.


    When she received the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Yin Qingmei¡¯s hands trembled with excitement.


    ¡°Your Destiny Spirit Plant has just been upgraded to Rank-3 not long ago, remember to communicate when watering, and it¡¯s best to let Ming¡¯er also watch over it, to prevent over-nourishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave another piece of advice. Because of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy incident, the Peach Blossom Sage treated him with special favor: whenever he needs Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, he just needs to give her a call, and even Rank-5 was not out of the question.


    Thus, he was so generous.

 Chapter 1460 - Chapter 1460: Chapter 766 Golden Core Eighth Layer_3

    Chapter 1460: Chapter 766 Golden Core Eighth Layer_3


    After all, compared to other old Golden Core cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, Yin Qingmei was personally nurtured by him. She worked tirelessly to help him condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, proving to be loyal, trustworthy, and obedient, worthy of further cultivation.


    Next, Chen Mobai provided some guidance on Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation.


    This beloved disciple, relying on the fourth-rank Fairy Peach Wine, had already reached Foundation Establishment Completion; however, this was not very stable, so the next step was to refine her Spiritual Power and solidify her foundations.


    However, Chen Mobai was not worried about this.


    Over the years, Zhuo Ming¡¯s attention had shifted from Liu Jia Mountain to the entire Rainbow County. With the development of the Dark Water, she began large-scale desert reclamation projects.


    Her goal was to transform the desertified Rainbow County back into lush green mountains and waters.


    In this process, her realm would naturally become consolidated.


    What delighted Chen Mobai the most was the Nirvana Dan within Zhuo Ming¡¯s body had been significantly assimilated, her Ninefold Law Body fourth level had already reached completion, only lacking the last opportunity to advance.


    If she were to break through to the fifth level, that would be equivalent to the physical strength of a Rank-3.


    Chen Mobai could guide her to forcefully step into it, but after some thought, he decided it would be better for Zhuo Ming to achieve it herself.


    ¡°Master, the Purple Jade Rice we started sowing is also about to mature; do you want to go have a look?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to leave, Zhuo Ming suddenly spoke up with another piece of good news.


    This Purple Jade Rice was a hybrid species that Zhuo Ming had developed using Dari Purple Rice and Jade Bud Rice, a Rank-3 lower-grade Spirit Rice. Under the Universal Illumination Divine Light of the Haotian Mirror, it only needed ten years to mature.


    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go have a look!¡±


    Chen Mobai truly loved Agricultural Studies. Upon hearing this, he immediately became very interested and flew with the two women to where the Purple Jade Rice was planted at Cangshan Lake.


    Looking down from the sky, there was a neatly arranged, fertile oasis. The pale purple rice shimmering under the sunlight, glowing splendidly as if stars had descended to this piece of land.


    The rice stalks hung low, swaying in the wind, and the air was filled with the fragrance of Spirit Rice mixed with the scents of soil and lake water, refreshing the heart and spirit. Chen Mobai even used the Listening with Empty Valley Echo to hear the joyous whispers of the bountiful harvest.


    He landed upon the oasis, looking at the plump rice grains, he gently grabbed a handful, feeling each partially hulled Purple Jade Rice in his palm, and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    With the arrival of spring this year, this vast expanse of Rank-3 Spirit Rice would mature.


    He sprinkled a bit of his hundredfold diluted Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and soon, this small patch of Spirit Rice received enough energy supply to overcome the final barrier and mature completely.


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei harvested the acre of Purple Jade Rice, then caught two fish from Cangshan Lake and began to cook rice and fish.


    After the three of them were full, Chen Mobai took the remaining Purple Jade Rice away, planning to give it to Qing Nu.


    Since this Purple Jade Rice was derived from a hybrid of Dari Purple Rice, he thought it might have the potential to help cultivators break through bottlenecks; however, the exact effects needed scientific research and analysis.


    He wondered if Qing Nu could use the equipment obtained from the Immortal Gate to conduct some analytical tests.


    As it happened, she was researching the Breakthrough Barrier Pill, which might provide some inspiration.


    When returning to Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai also remembered to stop by and check on Luo Yixuan.


    Luo Yixuan had also reached Foundation Establishment Completion. If not for Chen Mobai having her wait to complete the development of the Dark Water before undergoing Core Formation, she might have already become impatient.


    However, within the next three to four years, the Dark Water in Rainbow County could be completely developed according to Chen Mobai¡¯s planning and flow into Cold Jade Lake.


    By then, Cold Jade Lake would become the endpoint for water veins of five counties¨CXiao, Yan, Hong, Lei, and Shuang. Hosting so many water systems, coupled with Water Element Mysterious Stone, this location could easily upgrade to a fourth rank mid-grade Water Vein, which would also be the best opportunity for Luo Yixuan¡¯s Core Formation.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s governance, the entire northern part of the Eastern Wilderness brimmed with life, forming a beautiful and hopeful picture of bountiful harvests.


    Back in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai met his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, who had just returned from Dongwu.


    He brought back a Fire Attribute heterodox Gold Core.


    However, he came bearing some bad news.


    The Sun family of Dongwu, aware that they had commissioned Zhang Zibo to refine a heterodox Gold Core, expressed that bypassing them had broken the rules. From that point on, if they still wanted to commission Zhang Zibo for refinement, they must go through the Sun family.


    However, since the Five Elements Sect was considered an ally of the Sun family, they decided to overlook these two instances of Gold Core refining.


    This was also giving face to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ll write a letter that you can deliver to Nu Jiang, let him also be aware of this and see what exactly the Sun family means by this.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Previously, because they had refined the Infant-Feeding Elixir, Chen Mobai had purchased a Tian Lan Silver Light Grass from the Sun family through Nu Jiang, which counted as owing a favor to them. He originally thought that both parties were allies.


    The heterodox Gold Core was a minor matter, but the surge of monsters in Cloud Dream Marsh required sincere cooperation from both their families to suppress.


    Chen Mobai hoped that this wouldn¡¯t affect their relations with Nu Jiang.


    After Liu Wenbo left, Chen Mobai also invited Shen Shanqing from the Sky Meal Building over to discuss this issue.


    ¡°After last year¡¯s withdrawal of the demonic beast tide from Cloud Dream Marsh, most of the Sun family¡¯s experts have returned to their ancestral land, apparently for some major affair. Now in charge of the Sun family¡¯s affairs is their third-in-command Sun Huangling. She¡¯s the younger sister of Sun Huangji and Sun Huanglong, slightly less talented with a heterodox Gold Core, thus quite sensitive to this kind of resources.¡±

 Chapter 1461 - Chapter 1461: Chapter 766: Golden Core Eighth Layer_4

    Chapter 1461: Chapter 766: Golden Core Eighth Layer_4


    The intelligence from the Sky Meal Building was indeed formidable. With just one question, Chen Mobai learned the specific reason.


    However, after hearing this, his attention was caught by the first sentence from Shen Shanqing.


    ¡°Sun Huangji and Sun Huanglong lead the Sun family¡¯s experts back to their ancestral lands? Could it be that Sun Huangji wishes to undergo Nascent Soul Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself.


    Sun Huangji, known as the number one expert in Dongwu, was also a disciple of a major East Land sect. He reached Perfect Core Formation nearly a hundred years ago, and his reputation was even greater than that of Xuan Shu, the Daoist Child of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    Considering the time, he would soon pass his physical peak. If he delayed Nascent Soul Formation, it would only become more difficult.


    ¡°This is Sect Master Chen¡¯s guess, not mine.¡±


    When Shen Shanqing left, he specifically emphasized this point, which practically verified Chen Mobai¡¯s speculation.


    For any power, when a Golden Core Cultivator undergoes Nascent Soul Formation, it is a major event. They would surely guard against it meticulously and prevent precise information from leaking, to avoid enemies exploiting the opportunity.


    If the Sun family knew that Shen Shanqing revealed this information, they would definitely be displeased, which could consequently affect the business of the Sky Meal Building in Dongwu.


    ¡°Chef Shen, please take your time leaving!¡±


    After learning about this information, Chen Mobai immediately called Liu Wenbo back and rewrote a letter to Nu Jiang, informing him of this possibility. However, he did not let him go to Dongwu to investigate further. Instead, he asked him to feign ignorance, and he advised that the Five Elements Sect¡¯s cultivators restrict themselves from entering Dongwu¡¯s territory for the time being.


    Sun Huangling tried to prevent the Five Elements Sect from finding Zhang Zibo to refine a heterodox Golden Core, yet gave Chen Mobai respect. It was clear that they wanted to ensure that no power beyond their control would arise in Dongwu¡¯s territory during Sun Huangji¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    Having understood this, Chen Mobai decided to watch and wait.


    If Sun Huangji succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, there would essentially be no need to worry about the major trouble in Yun Meng Ze.


    With both Zhou Shengqing and Sun Huangji, even if they couldn¡¯t defeat the Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon, they could still reinforce the seal and keep it imprisoned within the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion without any problems.


    But if Sun Huangji failed, the situation would be bittersweet for the Five Elements Sect.


    The good thing would be the lack of strong neighbors. The worry, however, would be that in the future they may have to solely bear the brunt of Yun Meng Ze¡¯s demonic beasts threat.


    After sending Liu Wenbo out, Chen Mobai also took care of all the matters in Northern Abyss City.


    After leaving, he called for E Yun and Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Master!¡±


    After the two entered, they respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°After Yue Zutao has left the sect, the position of Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall is vacant. I intend to let Luo Xue¡¯er return to take over the role. Her cultivation level and experience are sufficient to manage the Five Elements Meridians. However, I will make it clear to her that you will be handling the specific matters, and in the meantime, you will also replace me in exercising the Sect Leader¡¯s duties at Giant Tree Ridge. Do you have confidence?¡±


    Chen Mobai directly expressed his intentions to E Yun, his trusted subordinate.


    ¡°With the Sect Master¡¯s trust, your disciple will surely live up to the expectations!¡±


    E Yun¡¯s voice was trembling when he said this, having waited for this moment for who knows how long.


    Although he was only going back as a temporary leader,


    That was still the Sect Leader!


    Once Chen Mobai reached a higher level of cultivation, such as Nascent Soul Formation, he would naturally assume the position of Sect Leader.


    Years of ambition finally seemed to be within reach at this moment, which made E Yun extremely excited.


    ¡°Then prepare to hand over your current affairs. After you return to Giant Tree Ridge, Yuan nephew will take over the matters in Northern Abyss City.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who was by the side, was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but he had expected it and thanked Chen Mobai immediately.


    Since the two arrived in Northern Abyss City at the same time, Yuan Chiye was involved in all affairs, and thus in just three days, E Yun completed the handover and returned to Giant Tree Ridge with Chen Mobai.


    Soon after, Luo Xue¡¯er, who had been ordered, also returned and assumed the position of Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, continuing to accumulate contributions.


    Meng Hong¡¯s failure in Core Formation did not deter her.


    Her longing for Core Formation remained just as strong.


    Chen Mobai held great respect for the determination of the cultivators here.


    With E Yun now in Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai once again started his role as a hands-off shopkeeper.


    During this period, Zhou Wangshen returned once, bringing thirty servings of Five Elements Essence. He was very content; in another two years, he¡¯d be able to condense a complete Primordial True Qi again.


    After rewarding Zhou Wangshen, Chen Mobai took the Purple Jade Spirit Rice and went into seclusion at Mount Tianpeng, which was only half a month since he last left.


    After another delightful night in Qing Nu¡¯s house, Chen Mobai handed her the Water Spirit Fruit.


    ¡°See if you can use this to refine a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai had once given the Alchemy Department the recipe for the Five Elements Golden Core Pill, but unfortunately, Zeng Woyou and the rest weren¡¯t skilled enough to improve these Rank-4 alchemy recipes.


    This time, with Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s return, Chen Mobai remembered that if Qing Nu could refine the naturally occurring Core Formation Spirit Fruit into a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill, many could benefit.


    Not just Qing Nu, but Luo Yixuan, Luo Xue¡¯er, and possibly Yan Bingxuan or his daughter Chen Xiaohei when it¡¯s time for their Core Formation, could all make use of it.


    ¡°This may take quite some time. After all, my cultivation level is not high enough. I can only refine Rank-3 Elixirs at most,¡±


    Qing Nu said seriously as she dressed herself and looked at the Water Spirit Fruit Chen Mobai had taken out. She indicated that even if the alchemy recipe was adapted with Eastern Wilderness¡¯s medicinal ingredients, she wouldn¡¯t be able to attempt it.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I gave that Water Attribute Heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue¡¯er; otherwise, you could directly obtain the power of the Golden Core Realm.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai somewhat regretted having yielded to the pressure from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and prematurely given the Heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue¡¯er.


    Qing Nu would definitely succeed in forming her Core; therefore, using a Heterodox Golden Core was safe.


    ¡°It does not matter, what I get is a blessing, what I lose is fate.¡±


    Qing Nu seemed very open-minded about this. Seeing her enchanting body once again concealed by clothes, Chen Mobai managed to restrain his impulses with difficulty.


    For the next half year, Chen Mobai stayed at Mount Tianpeng, accompanying Qing Nu.


    Of course, during this half-year period, he consumed a Return to True Elixir every so often.


    Thanks to the Quality of Food from the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, he didn¡¯t have to worry about Dan Poison.


    After finishing the five Return to True Elixirs, the progress on the Core Formation chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll had reached 98.7%.


    If it were the old him, the remaining bit of progress might not have warranted using the last Return to True Elixir, and he would attempt to break through by refining Spiritual Energy.


    But now, with Qing Nu in his arms, he no longer cared about that bit of progress.


    Moreover, the materials for the second batch of Return to True Elixirs from Back to Sky Valley had already been delivered to Mount Tianpeng by Liu Wenbo a few days ago.


    Adhering to the principles of the Sect of Realms, Chen Mobai took the sixth Return to True Elixir and, blessed by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, smoothly leveraged the enormous medicinal power to break through to the Golden Core Eighth Layer Realm.


    For this breakthrough, he returned to Danxia Mountain.


    With the support of the Rank-4 Superior Spirit Vein, Chen Mobai easily stabilized his realm.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At the same time, the signs of his breakthrough once again caused a sensation in the Immortal Gate.


    75 years old, and a breakthrough to the Golden Core Seventh Layer!


    The same age as the Yuanyang Ancestor when he had his breakthrough.


    And if counted by days, Chen Mobai was even twenty days faster.


    Undeniably the most talented person in the history of the Immortal Gate!

 Chapter 1462 - Chapter 1462: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up

    Chapter 1462: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up


    Golden Core Seventh Layer is the last bottleneck before becoming a Nascent Soul.


    After Chen Mobai breaks through this bottleneck, it signifies that he will soon become one of the strongest cultivators beneath the Nascent Soul.


    From this moment on, the status of Nangong Xuanyu as the number one in Core Formation began to waver.


    Many people believe that as long as Chen Mobai also reaches Perfect Core Formation, with his extraordinary swordsmanship talent, he will surely be no less than Nangong Xuanyu, or even surpass him.


    Upon hearing this opinion, the students of Pure Yang Academy were displeased and began to engage in fierce debates online.


    Chen Mobai also had a group of Crystal Fan, and both sides began to clash.


    These matters were brought to Chen Mobai¡¯s attention by Xiao Hei, to which he merely smiled and let it go.


    He no longer needed to prove anything in the Immortal Gate; now, he was rightfully the first in talent, and it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Nangong Xuanyu.


    After his breakthrough, Chen Mobai received many messages.


    He selectively replied to some and then continued to seclude himself in Danxia Mountain under the pretense of consolidating his realm.


    Of course, in reality, he went to Liu Jia Mountain.


    The Grand Spell, Origin Field Nourishing Fertility, had already completely transformed the Everlife Soil, but after absorbing a vial of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, the three-level peak Golden Sun Spirit Tree had yet to take the step towards advancement.


    Chen Mobai got the notice from Zhuo Ming, saying the best time for advancement had arrived, so he went to perform Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.


    ¡°Eh, Ming¡¯er, your Ninefold Law Body has broken through!¡±


    As soon as he arrived at Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai discovered good news. The Zhuo Ming standing before him radiated with vital essence, and with a light step, a deep imprint formed on the ground.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, during the beginning of the year at the Spring Festival Cangshan Lake, when the Purple Jade Rice was fully mature and harvested, a persistent thought in my disciple¡¯s mind dissipated, merging with the three hundred mu of Spirit Fields there, receiving the spiritual energy from the ley lines, helping me digest the power of the Nirvana Dan, leading to the natural breakthrough of my Ninefold Law Body.¡±


    Ming¡¯er happily began to explain the reason for her breakthrough.


    Cultivating Rank-3 Spirit Rice was Zhuo Ming¡¯s dream after Chen Mobai had imparted knowledge of Agricultural Studies to her. Over fifty years had passed, and she finally achieved this goal.


    With the satisfaction that filled her heart, her breakthrough was as expected.


    ¡°Very good, very good.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed.


    Among the four disciples under him, he had the highest expectations for Zhuo Ming.


    After the Body Refining Technique broke through to Rank-3, even if Zhuo Ming could not achieve Enlightenment in Core Formation, she could still ensure successful Core Formation after consuming the Jade Return Pill.


    ¡°Master, this is the harvested Purple Jade Rice.¡±


    While speaking, Zhuo Ming also handed over two large Storage Bags to Chen Mobai.


    This Rank-3 Spirit Rice was the first of its kind to appear in the Eastern Wilderness and given the value placed on Spirit Rice in this region, if it were carelessly circulated in the market, it would definitely attract attention from various powers.


    Especially because this Purple Jade Rice resembled Dari Purple Rice, it could easily lead to questioning by the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    For the time being, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan to start a conflict with this overlord of East Yu, so he had no intention of selling and circulating the Purple Jade Rice outside the sect.


    Qing Nu had already researched and tested the Purple Jade Rice and confirmed that it indeed had an effect similar to Pure Yang Purple Qi to help break through bottlenecks, though it was very weak.


    It was about continuously consuming it for around ten years to match half the effect of Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    For Chen Mobai, this was naturally of little use.


    But for other cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, it was tremendously effective.


    Furthermore, under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Qing Nu combined the Breakthrough Barrier Pill with the Purple Jade Rice to research a medicinal cuisine named Purple Jade Porridge.


    Taking this medicinal porridge for about a year or two could help dissolve barriers, and with consistent long-term use, the effect improves until one breaks through the bottleneck.


    However, after helping a cultivator break through a bottleneck once, its effects would significantly weaken if consumed again.


    Even so, this Purple Jade Porridge could at least raise the overall strength of the Five Elements Sect by one level.


    At the very least, figures like Fu Zongjue could use it to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage.


    This achievement would definitely be accredited to Qing Nu by Chen Mobai, and he planned to use this event to bring her into the sight of the Five Elements Sect.


    By then, when Fu Zongjue and others break through their bottlenecks with Qing Nu¡¯s help, they would probably warmly welcome her to join them as Chen Mobai¡¯s Daoist couple.


    After storing the Purple Jade Rice within his Domain, Chen Mobai arrived at the summit of Liu Jia Mountain.


    Gazing at the Golden Sun Spirit Tree before him, he closed his eyes to listen with the Echoes in the Void. After a long while, he opened his eyes with regret.


    It was indeed extremely difficult for a Spirit Plant to advance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even with an environment enriched with Everlife Soil and a vial of Wanhua water, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree was still unable to rely on itself to take the transformative step.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, communicate with it using the All Things Spiritual Communication as well. If there¡¯s no problem, then your Master will perform Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Echoes in the Void had a broader range of application than Zhuo Ming¡¯s All Things Spiritual Communication, but in the specific scope of Spirit Plants, she was indeed more specialized than him.


    After learning about the Immortal Spirit Root, Chen Mobai realized that during her Wen Dao, Zhuo Ming had obtained a top-tier Immortal Technique.


    This technique, which practically contained the Great Tao of the Heavenly Earth Origin, could continuously improve with the cultivator¡¯s advancement in realm. Who knows how far Zhuo Ming could go relying on this Daoist Skill?

 Chapter 1463 - Chapter 1463: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_2

    Chapter 1463: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_2


    As he pondered, Chen Mobai recalled his Pure Yang Daoist Body and, in fact, not long ago, his Nine Suns Physique had already shown signs of its first transformation.


    However, at that time, he primarily focused on consuming the Return to True Elixir to break through realms, thus temporarily halting his cultivation using supreme-grade Spirit Stones; he planned to fully concentrate on raising his Fire Spirit Root to 100 points and attempt to experience the Welcoming the Dao of the Immortal Spirit Root after settling all current affairs.


    Seeing how outstanding Zhuo Ming was, Chen Mobai too was filled with expectations for the moment he would attain the Immortal Fire Spirit Root.


    Besides this, he also prepared to strive to elevate his Earth Spirit Root to 100 points.


    Should he obtain an Innate Earth Essence Qi during his Welcoming the Dao, he would truly meet the cultivation requirements for the Primordial Dao Fruit. This would allow him to enter the First Origin Dao Palace in the future with rightful confidence.


    ¡°Master, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree has indicated that there are no issues; it has made complete preparations.¡±


    At this moment, Zhuo Ming had finished communicating with the Golden Sun Spirit Tree and reported back to Chen Mobai, who nodded, signaling the two ladies to step back, and then extended his hand to perform the Art of Encouraging Growth.


    Yin Qingmei also knew this Grand Spell, but after over twenty years of bitter cultivation, she had only reached the Third Rank.


    Thus, whenever she saw Chen Mobai casually executing Fourth Rank level spells, Yin Qingmei, who knew better than anyone the difficulty of mastering such Grand Spells, was profoundly shocked by her foster father¡¯s innate talent for spells.


    She definitely wouldn¡¯t think it was because she was inept, as her talent was among the top within the Five Elements Sect.


    Yet, she couldn¡¯t match up to Chen Mobai, not even close; imagining his level of talent was truly astounding.


    While Yin Qingmei was astonished by Chen Mobai¡¯s Fourth Rank Art of Encouraging Growth, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree, having been illuminated by Spiritual Light, finally took the step to advance.


    Originally dozens of meters tall, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree began to surge towards the sky, its thick branches spreading the outer bark and sprouting tender green new leaves, which within the blink of an eye, grew into two palm-sized verdant green leaves.


    Every leaf narrated the power of life, every branch crazily stretched towards the sky, roots drilling more deeply into the earth like serpentine dragons, and the trunk visibly expanded two or three times.


    Gradually, the summit of Liu Jia Mountain began trembling, seemingly struggling to support the now massive Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows at this scene, but before he could intervene, Yin Qingmei and Zhuo Ming had already flown out, each channeling their own Spiritual Power.


    Yin Qingmei controlled the Destiny Spirit Plant on the mountain peak, using its roots to stabilize Liu Jia Mountain¡¯s structure and sorting the somewhat disrupted nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    Meanwhile, Zhuo Ming communicated with the Earth Spirit Veins through the All Things Spiritual Communication, guiding them to calm and even transferring energy to assist the Golden Sun Spirit Tree in its advancement.


    Gradually, the transformation of the Golden Sun Spirit Tree ceased, and it became a colossal tree that shaded the sun, with lush branches and leaves.


    Its canopy resembled a huge green umbrella, covering most of Liu Jia Mountain, and the expanded tree bark marked the traces of this advancement.


    It was nearly a replica of the three Divine Trees at Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, this Golden Sun Spirit Tree had just advanced and was only about a fraction of the size of the Divine Trees, not to mention compared to the Great Dao Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    And at that moment, dark clouds had already amassed above in the sky, accompanied by the roar of thunder, with hints of crystalline blue cold flashes twinkling.


    After the Golden Sun Spirit Tree advanced to become the Everlife Wood, the Heavenly Tribulation also followed!


    Chen Mobai was curious to see the power of a Fourth Order Spirit Plant¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation, thus did not cast One-Leaf Blindness.


    Moreover, when he previously listened with the Echoes in the Void, he discovered that the Golden Sun Spirit Tree still had much of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations undigested within it, as it was previously only at Third Rank Peak.


    This was the perfect opportunity to use the Heavenly Tribulation to help disperse and refine the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for integration.


    Apart from this reason, Chen Mobai also planned to use this opportunity to re-forged his Haotian Mirror by utilizing the Heavenly Tribulation.


    This Lifespan Artifact, during Yin Qingmei¡¯s previous Core Formation, had undergone a Heavenly Tribulation and reached Third Rank Peak.


    Over the years, Yin Qingmei had cultivated some spirituality in the Haotian Mirror using the methods taught by Chen Mobai. When Chen Mobai last came to collect Pure Yang Purple Qi, he had already sensed the nascent signs of spirituality, but it was still lacking a specific opportunity.


    Chen Mobai thought that this Heavenly Tribulation might provide just that opportunity.


    Following his instructions, Yin Qingmei immediately took out the Haotian Mirror and threw it towards the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky.


    Boom!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At the same time, the Heavenly Tribulation descended, a series of crystalline blue thunderbolts with cold flashes striking the newly advanced Everlife Wood.


    Accompanied by rising clear bright Spiritual Light, the Everlife Wood utilized its own strength to block this first wave of cold thunder.


    But then came the second wave, the third wave¡­


    Wave after wave of cold thunder like sharp cold blades or shocking surging waves continuously struck the giant canopy covering the sky.


    Amid the creaking noises, the Everlife Wood finally began to falter slightly, emerald-like green leaves started breaking off from branches, afterward crystalizing and falling to the ground, shattering like glass jades.

 Chapter 1464 - Chapter 1464: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_3

    Chapter 1464: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_3


    As leaf after leaf disintegrated, the Sacred Tree Divine Light on the surface of the newly advanced Everlife Wood also began to dim, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.


    Chen Mobai immediately took control of the Haotian Mirror, pouring his vast and boundless Pure Yang Spiritual Power into it. In an instant, the mirror burst forth with a beam of intense aurora, piercing straight into the very center of the Heavenly Tribulation.


    With his current realm of the Golden Core Eighth Layer, activating a Lifespan Artifact at the Third Rank Peak, he was practically invincible to anyone under Nascent Soul.


    However, since this Heavenly Tribulation targeted a Fourth Order Spirit Plant, even though it was penetrated by the Haotian Mirror, dissipating some of its energy, it still reassembled a crystalline blue cold thunder, even beginning to condense as if preparing for a final burst.


    Chen Mobai immediately maneuvered the Haotian Mirror, radiating with Mysterious Yang Divine Light, flying straight towards the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Connected to his Lifespan Artifact with heart and mind, he quickly sensed the trembling of the Haotian Mirror.


    Facing the Fourth Rank Heavenly Tribulation, although it also possessed a Fourth Rank Everlife Wood frame, it still felt like a frail boat amidst tumultuous waves, as if a single misstep could lead to total disintegration, to be devoured and shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation.


    Under this stimulation, at the deepest part of the Haotian Mirror, finally emerged the first thread of spiritual consciousness!


    And at the instant when the spiritual consciousness was born, Chen Mobai felt as if his Lifespan Artifact underwent a metamorphosis, not even needing his command or control, it began to draw the surrounding Solar Essence, forming strands of blazing white fire, transforming into the Great Sun Fire which countered the crystalline blue cold thunder.


    The Great Sun Fire surged at the epicenter of the Heavenly Tribulation, instantly igniting all energy of the yet to peak Heavenly Tribulation!


    In the sky, amidst the vast cloud, a streak of golden light shone, as if sunlight scattering darkness.


    But the moment the dark clouds dispersed, the sky was full of crystalline blue cold thunder, like a meteor shower, raining down upon the Everlife Wood canopy that enveloped half of Liu Jia Mountain.


    However, facing these scattered bursts of Tribulation Thunder, the Everlife Wood, having fully absorbed and refined the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, raised a thick and clear Sacred Tree Divine Light, blocking them all with neither ease nor difficulty.


    At this moment, all cultivators and even mortals in Rainbow County looked up to witness two suns appearing in the sky.


    Luo Yixuan, leading cultivators to reclaim Dark Water, glanced towards the direction, her expression changing. She instructed the disciples of the Five Elements Sect below, then immediately set out towards Liu Jia Mountain.


    Upon her arrival, she was slightly startled to see the towering Everlife Wood.


    ¡°Sister, why have you come!¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s voice rang in Luo Yixuan¡¯s ears; she looked down to see him waving at her from the roots of the Everlife Wood.


    Luo Yixuan looked up into the sky and naturally spotted her master, the one controlling the second sun.


    Not daring to disturb Chen Mobai, she promptly flew down to ask Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°The master is currently using his extraordinary Artifact Refining Technique to nurture the Haotian Mirror, preparing to upgrade this Lifespan Artifact to Rank-4¡­¡±


    After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan showed an expression that seemed to say ¡®as expected.¡¯


    At that time, additional streaks of Spiritual Light arrived.


    It was Yan Yuanhao and other Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Five Elements Sect who were the town guards of Rainbow County.


    However, they didn¡¯t dare to fly up and landed at the foot of Liu Jia Mountain instead.


    Zhuo Ming went down the mountain to communicate with them, and knowing that the Sect Leader was here, Yan Yuanhao and the others returned with peace of mind.


    Seven days and nights later!


    The second sun above Rainbow County finally dimmed.


    Chen Mobai descended, continuously twirling the successfully upgraded Haotian Mirror in his hand.


    ¡°Xuan¡¯er is here too!¡±


    He smiled and nodded upon seeing Luo Yixuan.


    Soon, they were sitting together.


    Yin Qingmei looked at the Haotian Mirror in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands, which was radiating Spiritual Light and occasionally flashing sparks, her gaze burning with desire.


    This was a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon!


    In the entire Five Elements Sect, even in the Eastern Wilderness, they were few and far between!


    However, she also had some worries, afraid that after the Haotian Mirror was upgraded to Rank-4, her task would be complete, and Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t let her handle and nurture it.


    ¡°This Haotian Mirror has just been upgraded to Rank-4, and its spiritual nature is still unstable. For the following period, I will need to temper it with Divine Sense and Spiritual Power¡­¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai said this, Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t help but bite her lip, her expression becoming lost and her eyes dimming.


    ¡°After I have finished its tempering, I will give it to Qingmei to manage.¡±


    But the latter half of his sentence brought light back into Yin Qingmei¡¯s eyes. She immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating her readiness to serve the Sect Leader whenever required.

    Having said all this, Chen Mobai retracted the Haotian Mirror into his body.


    This Lifespan Artifact, long absent, returned to the Dantian Qi Sea, where the matching Pure Yang Spiritual Power nourished it like a fish in water. Its newly born spiritual nature conveyed a sense of pure joy, and in the most suitable environment, it began to thrive and was branded with a mark exclusively belonging to Chen Mobai.


    Shortly after, Chen Mobai felt that a good two to three parts of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea had been absorbed by the Haotian Mirror. He immediately opened the Small Void to replenish it, making sure not to leave the Haotian Mirror wanting.


    While attending to this task, he also engaged in conversation with Zhuo Ming and the other two women.


    ¡°Master, why didn¡¯t you inform me of your arrival in Rainbow County? To witness the Everlife Wood and Haotian Mirror¡¯s advancement, such events might not occur again in one¡¯s lifetime.¡±

 Chapter 1465 - Chapter 1465: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_4

    Chapter 1465: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up_4


    Luo Yixuan said somewhat coquettishly, she was not really fond of joining the hustle, but she hoped to experience everything by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°This is just to avoid delaying your progress in opening up the Dark Water area. Next time, when the Golden Sun Spirit Tree in Northern Abyss City levels up, I will surely invite you to visit, and then I will also use the Heavenly Tribulation to refine the Haotian Mirror again¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai regards each of his disciples as if they were his own children, so since Luo Yixuan had spoken, he etched this matter in his heart.


    ¡°Okay, Master, it¡¯s a promise!¡±


    Luo Yixuan, having received Chen Mobai¡¯s promise, looked very happy.


    Following that, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming¡¯s pulse and guided her in her next steps in the Art of Body Refining.


    However, before reaching Core Formation, her Ninefold Law Body definitely wouldn¡¯t have any breakthroughs, but afterward, due to her strong constitution, she could freely consume Rank-3 Spirit Rice Elixirs and so on.


    Chen Mobai instructed her to start taking Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice daily; this Rank-3 superior-grade Spirit Rice, especially beneficial in conjunction with the Body Refining Technique, is the best Spirit Rice in Eastern Desolation and even in the East Continent.


    Before, Chen Mobai had obtained some Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice from Kong Lingling¡¯s Storage Bag, but these past years, Zhuo Ming, mixing it with Rank-2 Spirit Rice, had already finished it.


    ¡°I will speak to E Yun about this; starting this year, my portion of Rank-3 Spirit Rice will be transferred to you.¡±


    After Yan Shaoyin left Eastern Desolation, Back to Sky Valley was compliant with all of Chen Mobai¡¯s requests; although most of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice was taken by the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, some was still allotted to Back to Sky Valley.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t demanding, he directly purchased it at the normal market price, allowing Back to Sky Valley to prioritize supplying it to the Five Elements Sect.


    After all, many Golden Core Cultivators in the Five Elements Sect require Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    Previously, when the Purple Jade Rice had not yet matured, there was only the Rank-3 Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice available, which was not produced in large quantities, barely enough to taste, not even sufficient for daily consumption by Fu Zongjue.


    So generally, purchases were made from the East Barbarians and Back to Sky Valley.


    Chen Mobai had no need for Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, so he had saved on this expense these past few years.


    But now that Zhuo Ming needed it, he didn¡¯t hesitate.


    He directly asked the sect to transfer his portion.


    Regarding this matter, Zhuo Ming was of course extremely grateful.


    ¡°There¡¯s one more thing, your Ninefold Law Body was obtained when I originally killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator at Mountain Shaker Peak; it only has six layers. If Ming¡¯er wants to enhance her physical strength to Rank-4 after Core Formation, you will definitely need the subsequent cultivation techniques.¡±


    ¡°This Body Refining Technique is said to have been passed down from Jiangshan Pavilion, one of the Hall of Ten Directions of the Eastern Emperor Court, and it has nine layers in total. I will ask Five Elements Sect and Wen Bo to help you investigate the remaining three layers.¡±


    ¡°But, Ming¡¯er, you should also pay attention to this; as a person the Earth deems ¡®possessing great fate,¡¯ by remembering this matter, you may have unexpected gains.¡±


    Moreover, Chen Mobai mentioned the issue of Zhuo Ming¡¯s Ninefold Law Body; initially, obtaining six layers was thought to be sufficient, but who knew Zhuo Ming¡¯s talent in Earth Attribute Techniques, so excellent and accompanied by astonishing fate.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming solemnly nodded, indicating that she had taken note of the matter.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t focus too exclusively on the Ninefold Law Body; your future lies with the Earth Immortality Scripture. If you manage to master this Great Technique, perhaps you could even complete the latter part of the Ninefold Law Body yourself.¡±


    Nevertheless, to avoid Zhuo Ming becoming too fixated in the future, Chen Mobai still offered a precautionary word.


    After all, the Art of Body Refining is only supplementary, the foundation for cultivators lies in their Realm!


    If Zhuo Ming could master the Yellow Emperor¡¯s Benevolence Scripture and combine it with her Lifespan Artifact, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron, her achievements would be boundless; she must not let the Ninefold Law Body become an obstruction.


    Having guided Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai then bid farewell to Yin Qingmei, taking Luo Yixuan, and they left Liu Jia Mountain together.


    Chen Mobai took his disciple along the way to inspect the canal developed in Dark Water.


    The more people, the greater the strength.


    Under the help of countless loose cultivators from Five Elements Sect and even the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau, as well as cultivator families that tasted the benefits of contracting, the progress of this final river was one tenth faster than he had anticipated.


    Of course, Chen Mobai did not forget to praise Luo Yixuan, the person in charge, who was indeed very pleased upon hearing his words.


    Leaving Rainbow County, Chen Mobai went to Northern Abyss City to take the teleportation array, and incidentally inspected this future core immortal city of the Eastern Desolation.


    The results also left him very satisfied.


    Although the person in charge of the immortal city changed from E Yun to Yuan Chiye, the former had taken a batch of his own trusted followers back to Giant Tree Ridge, yet the latter followed the previous rules, ensuring that most cultivators in Northern Abyss City did not feel the change in leadership.


    Seeing Northern Abyss City as it had always been, Chen Mobai also complimented Yuan Chiye before he went to the peak of North Abyss Mountain to examine the Everlife Soil he had treated with Origin Field Nourishing Fertility.


    The situation was very promising.


    Although the transformation pace slowed down a bit without Zhuo Ming¡¯s care, it was expected that by this time next year, it would almost be upgraded to Rank-4 Everlife Soil.


    Chen Mobai then checked the Golden Sun Spirit Tree he had transplanted at the mountain peak, which seemed to have a slightly better spiritual nature than the one on Liu Jia Mountain.


    He took out a tube of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and diluted a drop.


    ¡°Water it every day until it¡¯s done!¡±


    He handed the diluted Spiritual Water to Yuan Chiye, who immediately took it with both hands, respectfully nodded, and indicated that he would definitely complete the task.


    After completing these inspections, Chen Mobai then took the city¡¯s teleportation array, and after several transfers through Fang Market, arrived at Mount Tianpeng.


    ¡°This is the method, let the Golden Core Cultivators of your sect consume this for a year or two, and they should be able to break through their bottlenecks.¡±


    In front of Chen Mobai, Qing Nu demonstrated the method of making Purple Jade Porridge, which was quite simple; in a spiritual energy rice cooker of the immortal gate, she placed Purple Jade Rice along with some Breakthrough Barrier Pill ingredients, then selected the ¡°Cook Porridge¡± mode.


    Fortunately, this rice cooker had been modified by Chen Mobai, only requiring the input of spiritual energy to operate, mainly considering that Fu Zongjue and others might not know how to use it.


    ¡°Much appreciated!¡±


    After spending another night on Mount Tianpeng, the following day, Chen Mobai took a full rice cooker of Purple Jade Porridge back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    He went directly to see Fu Zongjue!


    ¡°Junior Brother, there really is such a mysterious pill-refining instrument in the world!¡±


    Fu Zongjue was greatly shocked after hearing the explanation about the functions of the spiritual energy rice cooker from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°When I was at my Core Formation stage, didn¡¯t I encounter a mysterious and unusual senior in The Barren? The Return to the Sun Spirit Water that Brother Zhou received before was refined by him.¡±


    ¡°Not long ago, I met this senior¡¯s disciple. With her help, I refined a batch of Return to True Elixirs, achieved a breakthrough in my Cultivation Realm, and am about to reach Perfect Core Formation!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Later, I also asked her if there was any pill that could help my brother break through his bottleneck. She gave me this medicinal cooking instrument called a rice cooker. You just need to put these medicinal ingredients and Purple Jade Rice inside, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and it will automatically cook the porridge. Consuming it for a year or two can naturally break through the bottlenecks of the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage!¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Fu Zongjue was shocked by the young age of his junior and his imminent achievement of Perfect Core Formation. He also felt deeply moved.


    To have such a senior figure remember him, his brother.


    Junior Brother Chen is the most sincerely good person he has met in the Eastern Desolation!


    Having him as his junior brother is the greatest fortune in Fu Zongjue¡¯s life!

 Chapter 1466 - Chapter 1466: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi

    Chapter 1466: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi


    Fu Zongjue, upon learning about the effects of the Purple Jade Porridge, didn¡¯t care that Chen Mobai was right in front of him and finished the entire pot of Spiritual Energy Rice Cooker¡¯s porridge in one go.


    After he finished, he even let out a satisfied burp, then joyfully hugged the Spiritual Energy Rice Cooker and bid farewell.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I am going to enter closed-door cultivation for a year or two. Call for me if you need anything.¡±


    After learning the simple recipe of the Purple Jade Porridge from Chen Mobai, Fu Zongjue, who had been stagnated by a bottleneck for over a dozen years, suddenly felt invigorated.


    If one¡¯s realm could breakthrough, who would want to waste their time on outsider techniques like the Puppetry Technique daily?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Fu. I have got the sect covered!¡±


    Chen Mobai originally planned to purchase three Spiritual Energy Rice Cookers from the Immortal Gate for Fu Zongjue, Nu Jiang, and Sheng Zhaoxi.


    But upon further thought, considering the closeness of relationships, he decided to arrange it first for Fu Zongjue.


    Once Fu Zongjue successfully breaks through, Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi will naturally come to know about this matter, and then he could pass on the Spiritual Energy Rice Cooker from Fu Zongjue to them.


    This way, it would be more effective in winning people¡¯s hearts.


    Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi would think, sharing such a precious item with them, Chen Mobai genuinely treats them as his own, laying a foundation for the complete unification of the Five Veins in the future.


    After sorting out this matter, Chen Mobai had Gu Yan summon E Yun.


    Even though E Yun was competent, he had only just begun to lead the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the sect, and Chen Mobai was somewhat apprehensive.


    But it turned out that the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions gave him face, knowing that E Yun was his direct line, and basically obeyed and accepted the role of replacing Yue Zutao.


    Thus, Chen Mobai could return to Mount Tianpeng with peace of mind.


    Qing Nu was refining the second batch of Return to True Elixirs; although she did not need his help, she was very happy with him by her side.


    Sometimes, the formation rate and quality of a batch of elixirs depend on the state and mood of the Alchemist during the refining process, which would significantly improve when the mood is smooth.


    While Qing Nu was refining elixirs, Chen Mobai was beside her, pondering the enhancement of the Fire Spirit Root while refining the Five Elements Essence.


    This batch of thirty portions was slightly better in quality than the first, showing that with time to hone skills and a willingness to improve, one can gradually grow.


    With the previous experience, refining the Five Elements Essence this time went smoothly. In just a month and a half, Chen Mobai had refined all thirty portions of Five Elements Essence.


    In his Middle Dantian, he now had one large and two small portions of Primordial True Qi.


    Under the control of his Divine Sense, the two smaller portions of Primordial True Qi began to slowly merge.


    This process did not last long, approximately after seven days, the two smaller portions combined into half a portion of Primordial True Qi.


    At this rate, in another two years, he could cultivate a complete portion of Primordial True Qi.


    Honestly, this progress was already very fast.


    According to the records of the Primordial Dao Fruit, one needs to cultivate forty-nine portions of Primordial True Qi to begin condensing the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit and officially step into the threshold of the supreme divine technique of the First Origin Dao Palace.


    For a Golden Core Cultivator, that is nearly an impossible feat.


    Originally, the Primordial Ancestral Master relied on a complete Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, and Zhou Ye used the same method, both relying on external resources.


    Cultivators were originally known as Qi Practitioners, condensing strands of True Qi nearly equivalent to the essence of heaven and earth, to comprehend the true essence of Cultivation Techniques and the natural rhythm of all things.


    And due to different attributes of Spiritual Power, the True Qi condensed would naturally differ.


    For instance, Zhou Shengqing practiced the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture. Before his Nascent Soul Formation, he condensed nine strands of Longevity True Qi.


    With nine strands of Longevity True Qi, he could autonomously initiate the Nascent Soul Formation process; the more he condensed, the deeper his foundation was.


    But the limit of the Longevity Scripture was eighteen strands of Longevity True Qi.


    Later, Zhou Shengqing obtained the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture and, with a higher realm after Nascent Soul Formation and his own understanding, he supplemented some parts, allowing him to condense up to twenty-four strands of Longevity True Qi before Nascent Soul Formation.


    In the Tianhe Realm, this is considered a very exceptional Nascent Soul Cultivation Method already.


    If Chen Mobai were to form a Nascent Soul using the Pure Yang Scroll, then he would need at least thirty-six strands of Pure Yang True Qi, and the upper limit of this Immortal Gate¡¯s Divine Transformation Technique is eighty-one strands of Pure Yang True Qi.


    The Primordial Dao Fruit, as a Divine Skill left by an Ascended Monk, has a minimum requirement of forty-nine strands of Primordial True Qi, but there is no record of its maximum limit.


    Chen Mobai originally suspected that Zhou Ye might have held back some teachings, but at that time, Zhou Ye had made a Daoist Heart Oath, assuring that he had relayed the full teachings of the Primordial Ancestral Master to Chen Mobai.


    Thus, Chen Mobai had two guesses.


    One is that even the Primordial Ancestral Master did not receive the complete transmission of the Primordial Dao Fruit, or alternatively, the Primordial True Qi condensed by this Primordial Dao Fruit might not have an upper limit!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, the so-called upper limit is merely in respect to a cultivator at Perfect Core Formation.


    Once a cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, how much True Qi they can condense only depends on whether their body can contain it and if their Divine Sense can control it.


    For this issue, Chen Mobai did not continue to delve deeper.


    After all, he cultivated the Primordial Dao Fruit mainly because it could help him safely navigate the critical transition from Broken Elixir to Infant, and the breaking through of Five Elements Spiritual Power, etc., were merely additional benefits.


    After synthesizing the half portion of Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai began to focus his attention on the fundamental Pure Yang Scroll.

 Chapter 1467 - Chapter 1467: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi_2

    Chapter 1467: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi_2


    The Realm of Gold Core Eighth Layer already allows the initiation of Condensing Pure Yang True Qi.


    Seated at the summit, beneath the reviving Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, Chen Mobai took out a wisp of Pure Yang Qi he obtained from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    But Chen Mobai quickly discovered that he was unable to refine it.


    Because the grade of this Pure Yang Qi was simply too high, it was Rank-5 True Qi left by Yuanyang Ancestor, and even just a wisp was immensely heavy and majestically vast for him.


    Although he was known to have the Qualification of Deification, he was after all just a Golden Core Cultivator.


    This Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi, even Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, would need to be extremely cautious and proceed slowly like a serpent swallowing an elephant.


    For Chen Mobai at his current Realm, attempting to refine Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi was like an ant trying to swallow an elephant.


    However, though unable to refine it, it was of great use as a reference.


    If Chen Mobai were to condense Pure Yang True Qi on his own, it would require slow exploration; now, he merely needed to directly reference this Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi.


    The joy of copying an answer, he loved it the most.


    He sat under the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, utilizing the Fire spiritual power that revived due to the Spirit Plant, and began to mobilize Pure Yang Spiritual Power, constantly condensing and fusing it.


    Even with Yuanyang Ancestor¡¯s Pure Yang Qi as a reference, it was still extremely difficult for him.


    A full three days passed, and he had made only a bit of progress.


    He estimated with the Guidance Book that it might take two years to transform the first wisp of Pure Yang True Qi.


    After all, whether in Immortal Gate or Tianhe Realm, it was generally only cultivators with Perfect Core Formation who would try to condense True Qi.


    His Cultivation Realm still fell short.


    Some other cultivators might grit their teeth and begin this laborious process.


    Or they might wait to try again after achieving Perfect Core Formation.


    But Chen Mobai was not that kind of person!


    When he encountered difficulties, he would always deal with them using his consistently successful experiences.


    Moreover, he had long anticipated this point and already thought of a solution.


    With a thought, his Domain opened.


    Down fell a Spirit Sealing Tube containing Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, which he had condensed previously at Giant Tree Ridge.


    The Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book had already been fully deciphered with the help of the Crown of Heaven and Earth, so he completely understood the origin, condensing methods, and effects of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    This Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, in addition to nurturing and cultivating Nascent Souls, could combine with any Spiritual Power to transform into postnatal True Qi.


    Chen Mobai today wants to test this function.


    After telling Qing Nu about this through a message, he opened the Spirit Sealing Tube and absorbed a wisp of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy into his body.


    Under the control of his Divine Sense, the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy settled into his Dantian Qi Sea.


    The waiting Pure Yang Spiritual Power began to surge, combining with this wisp of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    At this instant, Chen Mobai felt as if a miniature sun was lit within his Dantian, a supremely pure Yang hot energy was bred and born.


    Chen Mobai immediately entered the state of the Guidance Book, leading the Pure Yang Spiritual Power to merge with the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy in the most pure and calm state, the former began to sublimate and evolve, transforming into a higher quality energy.


    In the depth of the Dantian Qi Sea, streaks of Pure Yang Spiritual Power, like stars surrounding the moon, ceaselessly approached the center of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, where roughly ten parts of Pure Yang Spiritual Power could blend with one part of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    In this refining and purifying process, this newly formed force converged into a mass.


    This is Pure Yang True Qi!


    As soon as it was condensed, Chen Mobai felt the high quality of this True Qi.


    Compared with Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Pure Yang True Qi is like the difference between ordinary iron ore and alloy steel.


    He channeled this wisp of Pure Yang True Qi into the Haotian Mirror, and saw his Lifespan Artifact begin to emit a brightness never seen before.


    Since advancing, Chen Mobai felt no matter how much Pure Yang Spiritual Power he infused into it, it transmitted an unsatisfied emotion.


    At that time, he knew that Pure Yang Spiritual Power was no longer enough for this Fourth-grade Magical Weapon.


    Only Pure Yang True Qi could fully unleash all of its power.


    Just like the Purple Electric Sword, though it cooperated with Chen Mobai a hundred percent, no amount of Pure Yang Spiritual Power and Spirit Stones could make it exhibit its full power.


    ¡°Only True Qi can exhibit the real power of a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon!¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his head, retrieving the wisp of Pure Yang True Qi he had just condensed from the Haotian Mirror.


    The Haotian Mirror was very reluctant, but under the will of its master Chen Mobai, it could only regretfully release it.


    Chen Mobai directed this wisp of Pure Yang True Qi into his Gold Core, soon feeling a subtle sensation of expansion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He silently recited a Spell from the Pure Yang Scroll and began to operate it.


    The Gold Core emanated a warm current, circulating through the pathway of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, as if an invisible undulation purified and washed over, slightly raising the temperature of his blood, and the bone marrow, meridians, organs, and more were subtly enhanced in this process.


    This process is known as ¡°Qi Merging in the Celestial Circuit, Pure Yang Refining Body,¡± a passive skill for Pure Yang Daoist Body after achieving Pure Yang True Qi.


    It will continuously improve the physical strength of cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    That is also why Pure Yang Scroll cultivators generally do not waste too much time on Body Refining Techniques, not just because the time to cultivate the Pure Yang Body is already demanding but also because once their Cultivation Realm reaches the required level, their physical strength will naturally be promoted by Pure Yang True Qi.

 Chapter 1468 - Chapter 1468: Chapter 768: Pure Yang True Qi_3

    Chapter 1468: Chapter 768: Pure Yang True Qi_3


    Passive cultivation can never match the efficacy and intensity of active cultivation.


    Chen Mobai felt that after the enhancement of the Pure Yang Refining Body technique, his Longevity Dao Body, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally showed signs of a breakthrough.


    He was overjoyed beyond measure.


    If he could break through to Rank-4 in his Longevity Dao Body before Nascent Soul Formation, the success rate of the Nascent Soul Formation would significantly increase.


    This was another correct way to use the Pure Yang Refining Body technique¨Cit made the Body Refining Technique breakthroughs of Pure Yang Scroll cultivators much easier.


    Although the Pure Yang Refining Body is a passive skill, if it were always activated, it would constantly consume Pure Yang Spiritual Power or Pure Yang True Qi.


    Using Pure Yang True Qi would yield even more outstanding results.


    But Chen Mobai, who had just managed to refine a strand, would definitely not use it up. He only dared to let his Gold Core consume Pure Yang Spiritual Power, of which he had plenty. With twenty-six Small Void cycles in operation, he could last a full year without interruption.


    After setting up the passive Pure Yang Refining Body, Chen Mobai continued to study Pure Yang True Qi.


    Once he had thirty-six strands within his Gold Core, he would attempt Nascent Soul Formation.


    At this time, he took out the Haotian Mirror and allowed it to absorb a strand of Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi from the Yuanyang Ancestor.


    The Haotian Mirror immediately conveyed a feeling of joy.


    A Rank-4 Pure Yang Magical Tool could just barely withstand the Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi. Moreover, due to their identical origins, it could subtly provide the perfect environment for the spiritual growth of the Haotian Mirror.


    It was just a pity that Chen Mobai¡¯s other Lifespan Artifact, the Morning Bell, was only Rank-3; otherwise, he would have split the Pure Yang Qi into two, to benefit both equally.


    After all this, Chen Mobai ended his practice and slowly opened his eyes.


    He took out his phone to check the time.


    Unbeknownst to him, another two months had passed.


    This was due to his use of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy. Otherwise, condensing the Pure Yang True Qi would have taken even more time.


    He got up to leave his retreat, and as soon as he lifted the restrictions, he saw the charming and smiling Qing Nu already waiting outside.


    ¡°You look like you¡¯ve succeeded!¡±


    Qing Nu walked over, took his hand proactively, and was the first to speak.


    ¡°With the help of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, I barely managed to condense a strand of Pure Yang True Qi. I understand now why the eminent Qing Jing and Qing Shi didn¡¯t use it to condense True Qi. It¡¯s simply too wasteful.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head with a sigh, as it took a complete strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy to help transform into one strand of True Qi.


    However, an intact strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy was a natural Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, far more precious compared to condensing True Qi.


    Moreover, the process of condensing True Qi could be accomplished through one¡¯s own hard work over time.


    Nascent Soul Formation, on the other hand, was different. Perhaps just a little more probability could help a cultivator overcome that vast chasm.


    ¡°Then you can wait until you reach Perfect Core Formation before condensing Pure Yang True Qi. It just so happens that I¡¯ve refined another batch of Return to True Elixirs¨Ceight pills this time, and all of them meet the standard of Immortal Gate with Danless Poison quality.¡±


    Qing Nu, after hearing this, shared the good news.


    ¡°Hahaha, ever since you came here, I feel like I¡¯ve only been hearing good news!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up with joy, then he reached out, picked up Qing Nu beside him, and set her directly on a wooden table in front of the cabin.


    Under the somewhat boiling blood from Pure Yang Refining Body, he found the most thorough release amidst the soft moans.


    Before he realized it, Chen Mobai had already spent more than half a year on Mount Tianpeng.


    The excuses for his breakthroughs and stabilizing his realm were almost exhausted.


    He felt it was time to show his face at the Immortal Gate.


    After a reluctant farewell to Qing Nu, Chen Mobai first returned to Giant Tree Ridge and then met with Zhou Shengqing, to whom he handed over a Return to True Elixir.


    ¡°Please help me pass this on to Brother Mo. With this, he can save the effort of accumulating Spiritual Power and reach Perfect Core Formation quickly.¡±


    Since he was in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai only dared to have Zhou Shengqing assist with the delivery, otherwise he would have to make the trip himself.


    ¡°I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of Junior Brother Mo!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, being aware of the effects of such Elixirs from the previous collaboration between the Five Elements Sect and the Back to Sky Valley in refining Return to True Elixirs, solemnly thanked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This was refined by the disciple of an Abnormality I encountered before. Due to the need for his master to survive an unprecedented terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, he left the Ruins where he had been in seclusion and went overseas in search of a chance to overcome the tribulation.¡±


    ¡°However, his disciple did not have a high Cultivation Level and couldn¡¯t leave the East Continent with him. Moreover, without the care of the Abnormality, survival in such a dangerous place as the Ruins would be difficult, so she sought me out.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I could refine the Return to the Sun Spirit Water thanks to that Abnormality. Naturally, I¡¯m duty-bound, so I¡¯ve placed her in the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard¡­¡±


    Over the years, Chen Mobai, as the Sect Leader, was often away from Giant Tree Ridge and Northern Abyss City, running to Mount Tianpeng, and he couldn¡¯t keep it a secret from Zhou Shengqing and others.


    However, both Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had absolute trust in him, and thus, they did not inquire further.


    Chen Mobai, though, understood that he would have to marry Qing Nu into the Sect in an open and aboveboard manner sooner or later, so he had already begun to subtly create a background for her.


    ¡°Although the Spirit Vein at Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard is only a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, the Abnormality gave me a second chance at life. Shouldn¡¯t I give up my own arena of the Longevity Dao for his disciple¡¯s Cultivation?¡±

 Chapter 1469 - Chapter 1469: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi_4

    Chapter 1469: Chapter 768 Pure Yang True Qi_4


    Zhou Shengqing felt that the specifications of the Heavenly Peng Mountain Sub courtyard were somewhat low after hearing, and he solemnly suggested otherwise.


    In his view, this mysterious figure who could refine Return to the Sun Spirit Water and lived in seclusion in the Ruins, was at least a Primordial Infant Great Cultivation, if not possibly a Deification Old Monster.


    Even without any favor owed, he should endeavor to forge good relations with his disciple.


    Chen Mobai repeatedly refused, stating that the senior¡¯s disciple did not like ostentation but merely enjoyed alchemy and needed a cultivation arena with an abundant Fire Vein Spiritual Energy.


    The Heavenly Peng Mountain Sub courtyard was perfect.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you junior brother to take good care of the senior¡¯s disciple. After Yan Shaoyin left, the Eastern Wilderness lacks outstanding Alchemists. Perhaps in the future, our Five Elements Sect¡¯s Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, even your Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, may still need this person¡¯s help!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod repeatedly. He would definitely take good care of Qing Nu.


    After having laid the groundwork in front of his fellow disciples Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai was already thinking about formally integrating Qing Nu into the Five Elements Sect.


    Mo Douguang, having taken the Return to True Elixir, and Sheng Zhaoxi, who planned a breakthrough with Purple Jade Porridge, signified that most of the high-level cultivators within the Five Elements Sect owed Qing Nu a favor.


    Thus, his proposal to make Qing Nu his Daoist couple and the Sect Master¡¯s Wife would face no obstacles.


    ¡°Is there still no news from Yan Shaoyin?¡±


    Before Zhou Shengqing left, he suddenly remembered this final hindrance to the unification of the Eastern Wilderness and couldn¡¯t help but ask Chen Mobai.


    Although he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he had handed over all matters of the Five Elements Sect to Chen Mobai, so he needed to inquire about this intelligence.


    ¡°He should be undergoing Nascent Formation in East Yu; our Five Elements Sect¡¯s influence has just moved out of the Eastern Wilderness with Master Nephew Yue, unable to delve into the specifics of his Nascent Formation.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve also probed Lou Xuelong about this matter, but he obviously knows the importance and did not give a direct response.¡±


    ¡°However, there¡¯s a bit of news from the Sky Meal Building, claiming to have seen Yan Shaoyin stepping into the large-scale Transmission Array of the Golden Crow Immortal City with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild. Therefore, I speculate that he is in East Yu.¡±


    Chen Mobai reported what he knew, and Zhou Shengqing nodded lightly. In his opinion, there was no need to concern themselves with Yan Shaoyin at all; they could just lead the Five Elements Sect¡¯s army over, and flatten the Back to Sky Valley.


    However, under Chen Mobai¡¯s leadership over these years, the Five Elements Sect had grown into the largest faction in the Eastern Wilderness.


    So, since he chose to wait and see the developments, Zhou Shengqing naturally agreed as well.


    After all, flattening Back to Sky Valley could potentially lead to fallout with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.


    If they could avoid this risk, it would be best!


    After Zhou Shengqing went to the Golden Cliff, Chen Mobai also announced a retreat, sealing his Longevity Wood Dojo, and then returned to Immortal Gate.


    At the Top of Danxia Mountain, Chen Mobai, who had advanced to the ¡°Seventh Layer¡± of the Golden Core, took quite a long time to consolidate his realm, which seemed overly lengthy to outsiders.


    Just when people speculated that he might be eager to break through and perhaps had unstable foundations, hence the delay in leaving seclusion.


    That night, a brilliant and bright mirror light illuminated at the Top of Danxia Mountain, like the great sun of the night, rising and shining splendidly on the massive Azure Jadeite Sycamore tree crown!


    The bright mirror light continued for three full days and nights!


    It immediately caught everyone¡¯s attention!


    After all, this was the retreat site of someone with the Qualification of Deification!


    He had just broken through the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core, creating such a brilliant momentum, what was the reason?


    When the bright mirror light finally set, Chen Mobai also announced he had come out of his retreat.


    After spending some leisurely and beautiful time with his family, he had no choice but to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    At this moment, within the Immortal Gate, experts in Artifact Refining had already deduced through the bright light in the video why Chen Mobai, after breaking through to the seventh layer of the Golden Core, still lingered at the top of Danxia Mountain for almost half a year.


    It turned out that he was not consolidating his realm, but rather, after the breakthrough, he spent time and energy cultivating the spirituality of his Destiny Artifact.


    ¡°The Spirit of the Magic Artifact¡± is also common knowledge within the Immortal Gate.


    However, those who can truly cultivate it can be counted on one hand in every era.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Artifact Refiner experts pointing it out, people of the Immortal Gate would never have thought of this layer.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai, having the Qualification of Deification, not only has a cultivation talent comparable to the Yuanyang Ancestor, but his Sword Dao talent compares to Ancestor Baiguang, and even in terms of artifact refining, he is a supreme genius!


    [He is our graduate from the Dance Tool Dao Academy!]


    [Don¡¯t you understand the golden content of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s first-place student!]


    [Anonymously saying something, when Chen was in high school, he was already very interested in Artifact Refining. I had the fortune to cooperate with him several times, and felt that if he focused on Artifact Refining, he would definitely become the most outstanding Artifact Refiner of the Immortal Gate in the future, even surpassing Master Chengxuan, a Fifth-Order Refiner!]


    In Red Sandstone City, the now gray-haired Wu Wan put down the keyboard in his hands and clicked send on the forum.


    He leaned back in his chair, and couldn¡¯t help but recall the time he and Chen Mobai made the Five Transformations Umbrella together.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt honored to have had the chance to work with such a great figure.


    Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know that because he had cultivated the spirit of the Destiny Artifact, the internet was already in an uproar.


    Felt that the Qualification of Deification was no longer sufficient to describe his terrifying talent, and a more representative term was needed.


    Soon, among many candidates, ¡°Immortal Qualification¡± was most acknowledged in the voting.


    There is a saying of becoming immortal in the Immortal Gate, they believe that above Divinity Transformation is becoming an immortal!


    This is also the reason behind the saying of the Immortal Gate.


    After hearing the online discussions relayed by Xiao Hei, Chen Mobai felt it was too much!


    He was merely in the Golden Core Realm, and hasn¡¯t even achieved Nascent Soul.


    How could he suddenly jump directly to having Immortal Qualification without even fully earning his Qualification of Deification!


    As for this, he could only try to keep a low profile.


    However, because the Haotian Mirror, as his Destiny Artifact, will definitely be revealed on the side of the Immortal Gate in the future, cultivating the spirit of the Destiny Artifact was something that definitely needed some groundwork.


    Fortunately, he graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and had once taken Hong Mengkui as his master, systematically studied the content of Artifact Refining, so the fact that he cultivated a spirit for the Haotian Mirror, although it shocked the Immortal Gate, could also make everyone accept it.


    But Chen Mobai knew very clearly in his heart that this was not his own ability and accomplishment.


    Deceiving others is possible, but he must never deceive himself!


    Thus, he kept a very low profile and returned to the Wangwu Cave Heaven, planning to cancel his vacation and continue handling things silently as usual.

    Time can calm everything, he believed that as time passed, the Immortal Gate¡¯s discussion about his Immortal Qualification would gradually cool down.


    But just as he got off the plane and boarded the car picked up by Hua Zijing, he found that there were already two familiar people inside.


    It was Hong Mengkui who taught him Artifact Refining and his disciple Bian Jingchun.


    ¡°You lad, with such a talent in Artifact Refining, why didn¡¯t you cultivate ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯!¡±


    Hong Mengkui said to Chen Mobai with a deeply regretful tone!

 Chapter 1470 - Chapter 1470: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine

    Chapter 1470: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine


    ¡°Mr. Hong, how come you are here at Wangwu Cave Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see Hong Mengkui. Since his retirement, he had been rehired as a teacher by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and rarely left Red City Cave Heaven.


    ¡°This year¡¯s Artifact Refiner Conference is about to be held, it¡¯s a grand event that occurs once every decade. Since the president of the conference can¡¯t come, the association and the academy have sent me to preside over the event.¡±


    Hong Mengkui explained, having just gotten off the plane with Bian Jingchun and then immediately meeting Hua Zijing outside the airport, they got into the car together.


    ¡°I had forgotten that you, Mr. Hong, are also the vice president of the Artifact Refiner Association!¡±


    Chen Mobai realized after listening to him.


    Basically, the Artifact Refiner Association is run by their Dance Tool Dao Academy. The president is Master Chengxuan, Hong Mengkui is the honorary vice-president, and the rest of the core members are graduates of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t change the subject, why don¡¯t you try cultivating ¡®Participating Together¡¯?¡±


    This time, Hong Mengkui responded and glared at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°While human energy is limited, I already feel stretched to my limits cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll. If I divide my focus to ¡®Participating Together¡¯, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to achieve mastery in either!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke frankly, fully aware of his own capabilities. With the resources from Tianhe Realm, he could possibly master the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Besides that, the Guidance Book was also passively mastered due to the Crown of Heaven and Earth that unified Eastern Wilderness.


    As for other spells and divine skills, it¡¯s either empowerment or relying on resources for quick success.


    Even so, he felt his cultivation speed was somewhat slow.


    Chen Mobai had a clear self-awareness, as a follower of the Sect of Realms, his primary goal was first and foremost to elevate his realm.


    Once his realm truly hits a bottleneck and can¡¯t be improved, then he would focus his time and energy outside the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡®Participating Together¡¯, being the Divine Transformation Technique of the Immortal Gate, is profound and broad. Not to mention he had tried before and couldn¡¯t comprehend it, even now if he could start through Enlightenment Tea and the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he would not want to waste that time.


    He didn¡¯t even think he had enough time to condense Pure Yang True Qi and Primordial True Qi!


    ¡°It wouldn¡¯t hurt to practice it when you have time; with your current talent, sooner or later, you¡¯ll become the Sect Master of the Immortal Gate. By then, you¡¯d be worthy of possessing Little Red Sky.¡±


    ¡°As you know, the Fifth Order Primordial Yang Sword is within Little Red Sky, and it¡¯s directly related to your Pure Yang Scroll lineage. If you could integrate ¡®Participating Together¡¯ with the Primordial Yang Sword, the benefits would be immense.¡±


    ¡°When your Nascent Soul reaches Great Perfection, combined with the essence of the Primordial Yang Sword, and the Rank-5 Pure Yang Qi from Repairing Heaven Institute, along with your exceptional talent, you would probably become the third person to ascend to become Immortals in the current Immortal Gate, following the two Ancestors, Bai Guang and Qian Xing!¡±


    It¡¯s undeniable; Hong Mengkui knew how to persuade, drawing a picture with his words that greatly enticed Chen Mobai!


    As one of the rare Fifth Order Flying Swords in the Immortal Gate and originating from the same source as the Pure Yang Scroll, if Chen Mobai could acquire it and integrate ¡®Participating Together¡¯, his hopes of Divinity Transformation would be higher than anybody else in the Immortal Gate!


    It was equivalent to him being able to directly copy the answers for Divinity Transformation from the Yuanyang Ancestor!


    This was what he loved most in his life!


    Even if there¡¯s a gap between him and Yuanyang Ancestor and he couldn¡¯t fully follow the methods of Yuanyang Ancestor to transform, this would still be much better than any other members of the Immortal Gate, who couldn¡¯t even get started!


    Didn¡¯t Lin Daoming, who controlled the Immortal Gate for hundreds of years, also end up slinking off into a Side Sect just to achieve Divinity Transformation in the end!


    This supreme path, across the entire Immortal Gate aside from Wen Ren Xuewei, only he, Chen Mobai, was capable!


    ¡°Then, when I¡¯m free next time, I will practice ¡®Participating Together¡¯!¡±


    Chen Mobai, always receptive to advice, said something that pleased Hong Mengkui greatly.


    However, Bian Jingchun couldn¡¯t help but clench her fists tightly; indeed, comparisons could truly vex someone!


    She underwent grueling challenges and tests to cultivate ¡®Participating Together¡¯, only being permitted to practice this Divine Transformation Technique by Hong Mengkui after passing them.


    But now, Hong Mengkui was instead begging Chen Mobai to cultivate ¡®Participating Together¡¯.


    Compared to this junior brother, her standing as an elder sister proved a prominent contrast, and she felt, if Chen Mobai really began practicing ¡®Participating Together¡¯, with his talent, he might catch up to her decades of foundational work within just a few years.


    Although she never had much dignity in front of Chen Mobai, if even ¡®Participating Together¡¯ surpassed her, she would truly be utterly defeated.


    ¡°Elder sister, why did you come along too? I remember she is a public official of Red City Cave Heaven, she shouldn¡¯t be able to leave her jurisdiction easily, right?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai also noticed Bian Jingchun.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There were only a few people in the car, and after finishing his conversation with Hong Mengkui, the always polite Chen Mobai inevitably greeted Bian Jingchun.


    ¡°I¡¯m here at Xianwu Hall for some business!¡±


    Bian Jingchun replied with a strained smile, puzzling Chen Mobai ¨C what matter could require a public official from Red City Cave Heaven to personally come to Wangwu Cave Heaven?


    ¡°She succeeded in the queue this year and could exchange for a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, and after receiving the news, she came along with me.¡±


    It was Hong Mengkui who saw Bian Jingchun being somewhat coy and directly stated her purpose of coming.

 Chapter 1471 - Chapter 1471: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_2

    Chapter 1471: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_2


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, congratulations, Senior Sister!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but realize, such a significant matter in life indeed required one to come in person to be reassured.


    The driver, Hua Zijing, heard this too and showed a face full of envy.


    What Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Immortal Sect most wanted to hear was the news that their queue was successful and they received the notification for exchange.


    ¡°75 years of service before I got this opportunity; I hope to succeed in one try!¡±


    After Hong Mengkui spoke, Bian Jingchun no longer kept it a secret. She was a bit scared of failing her Gold Core Formation, hence she did not dare to tell Chen Mobai, the dazzling junior brother, about this matter.


    This is what many Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Immortal Sect are like; even if they exchange for the Gold Core Spiritual Material, they keep it a secret. Apart from avoiding envy from others, they also do not want to invite ridicule from others in case of failure.


    Next, they also started talking about other Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Dance Tool Dao Academy who had exchanged for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    The Golden Liquid Jade Pill is refined by the Immortal Sect once every ten years, with ten pills forming each batch.


    The Five Elements Golden Core Pill is refined based on circumstances within the ten-year gap of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill. Officially, it depends on the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners queuing up and their Five Elements Cultivation Method to determine which attribute to refine, but in reality, it is decided after consultation among those higher-ups.


    These elixirs could be issued all at once upon completion or saved for some special individuals until they reach the required years of service before being made available. But they will definitely all be exchanged before the next batch is refined.


    With a ten-year cycle, the Four Great Daoist Sects can each get an opportunity for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill or the Five Elements Golden Core Pill. For example, if the Dance Tool Dao Academy chooses the Golden Liquid Jade Pill this year, then the next cycle they can only select the Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    The remaining sixteen pills are then divided among the various departments of The Three Great Halls!


    However, most of the directors of the various departments of The Three Great Halls primarily come from the Four Great Daoist Sects, so practically the dividing of spoils is still a power struggle among the four lineages¡¯ influences.


    The Weapon Dancing Sect and Jumang are weaker, so they get two fewer pills; Kunpeng and Patching Heaven are stronger, so they get two more pills.


    This one Golden Liquid Jade Pill for Bian Jingchun was a guaranteed slot from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which counts toward Hong Mengkui¡¯s influence.


    Even so, it came after sixty years of service, followed by another fifteen years of waiting.


    Because in front of her, there were quite a few practitioners of complete Foundation Establishment from the Dance Tool Dao Academy with greater influence than her.


    For example Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng, who had come to support her, both serve in the Wangwu Cave Heaven and are considered Wang Shuye¡¯s men. With his assistance, their place in the queue is undoubtedly ahead of Bian Jingchun.


    Unfortunately, Sun Daoji failed his Gold Core Formation, but because he exchanged early, there might still be a chance for him. However, it likely won¡¯t be the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, but instead the lower-rated Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    As for Chi Shicheng, he was lucky and succeeded in his Gold Core Formation.


    He¡¯s a researcher and isn¡¯t well-suited for governmental positions so he¡¯s only nominally associated with Kaiyuan Hall, but the Weapon Dancing Sect still managed to secure the latest academic title for him in the prestigious Immortal Science Academy.


    In the future, if Hua Zijing or Zhuang Jialan wish to exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chen Mobai can allocate one slot using the Sky-Mending Group and then use the guaranteed share from the Weapon Dancing Sect.


    Now he is the principal agent of the Weapon Dancing Sect in The Three Great Halls; while he¡¯s taking on responsibilities, this is also one of his rightful powers.


    But the slots for Nascent Soul Spiritual Material for the next ten years have actually already been set.


    Because the Weapon Dancing Sect must also divide its own spoils internally.


    For example, this one pill for Bian Jingchun was secured by Hong Mengkui with his influence, which actually put her in the queue after her sixty years of service.


    This year¡¯s pill was given to her, and the Five Elements Golden Core Pill for the next ten years was given to a former chief named Wei Yunling.


    As for the batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills ten years later, the Weapon Dancing Sect originally had no slots, but after some exchange of interests, they secured one for Zhongli Tianyu.


    Chen Mobai calculated; ten years later Zhongli Tianyu would only be at 58 years of service, lacking two years.


    But at that time, the finance department of the Immortal Sect would store that Golden Liquid Jade Pill for two years, waiting until Zhongli Tianyu reaches his sixty years of service before it¡¯s available for him to exchange.


    After all, besides their Weapon Dancing Sect, Zhongli Tianyu also has the backing of the Zhongli Family.


    Apart from the Immortal Sect, forces like the Four Great Daoist Sects have the qualifications and ability to refine the Five Elements Golden Core Pill, which might be internally consumed or potentially become part of an exchange of interests, benefiting their various factories and units.


    In other words, theoretically, the number of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicines the Immortal Sect can exchange each year is only two or three.


    Because of this, the competition for Golden Elixir medicines is extremely fierce.


    ¡°Here¡¯s to wishing Senior Sister a successful pill formation and to help me share the burden of our lineage in Wangwu Cave Heaven at that time.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile to Bian Jingchun, who nodded her head with a lack of confidence.


    For an Immortal Sect Disciple, Gold Core Formation is truly a step between heaven and hell.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even for someone with direct lineage from the Daoist Academy like Bian Jingchun, if she fails this Gold Core Formation, it will be hard for her to have another chance to enter the core circle.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai¡¯s Enlightenment Path Gold Core is seen by everyone in the Weapon Dancing Sect as the future!


    With such talent, he is almost certainly assured Nascent Soul Formation!


    Only the quantity of Nascent Soul Cultivators determines the core of each allocation of Golden Elixir medicines.


    Chen Mobai asked Hua Zijing to first drive Hong Mengkui to the Artifact Refiner Association, then take Bian Jingchun to Xianwu Hall, and finally, drop him off at the Hall of Orthodox Law.

 Chapter 1472 - Chapter 1472: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_3

    Chapter 1472: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_3


    Narcissus, the venerable senior, was still away. After Chen Mobai and the tired-looking Gongsun Jielu concluded their holiday leave, a brief exchange followed.


    The main topic was the roster for the distribution of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills!


    This time, the Hall of Orthodox Law received two Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills!


    Both the Military Department and the Department of Law Enforcement were allocated one each.


    Among them, the one for the Department of Law Enforcement could be applied for by the Sky-Mending Group, but if the application was successful, then for the following decade the Department of Law Enforcement would have the priority to choose first.


    Chen Mobai expressed that he needed to think it over and did not immediately respond to Gongsun Jielu.


    After returning to the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai found that Lin Yin had personally brought him a cup of tea.


    Ever since Zhuang Jialan arrived, serving tea had been her task!


    Upon receiving the tea, Chen Mobai understood the reason why.


    It seemed Lin Yin had already worked for over sixty years; she must be waiting for this Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have remained in the Sky-Mending Group after Lan Haitian had left.


    ¡°Chief of the Group, I heard that this year¡¯s batch of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills has been refined¡­¡±


    Sure enough, just as Chen Mobai had taken a sip, Lin Yin had already started to gently nudge him.


    ¡°Oh, they¡¯ve been refined? I¡¯ve just come out of a meditative breakthrough and haven¡¯t had the time to learn about these matters. Let me make a couple of calls to inquire.¡±


    Although Lin Yin had been diligent in her duties throughout the few years of his leadership of the Sky-Mending Group, she had served under different leaders for the several decades prior.


    If he were to help Lin Yin apply for it now, then in ten years, the Sky-Mending Group would not have a share of any newly refined Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.


    In that case, if he wanted to secure Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills for Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, he would have to exchange even more benefits from the Weapon Dancing Sect.


    That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t give an immediate answer.


    ¡°Then, Chief of the Group, please proceed with your work!¡±


    With a somewhat anxious expression, Lin Yin closed the door and left.


    Chen Mobai too was somewhat troubled!


    If possible, he certainly wanted to help Lin Yin, but even as the head of the Weapon Dancing Sect, he felt the frustration of not having enough Gold Core Spiritual Material to meet everyone¡¯s need.


    Yet, if he didn¡¯t help Lin Yin with the exchange, he would feel somewhat guilty.


    After pacing back and forth in his office for a while, Chen Mobai finally had an idea. He took out his phone and called Lan Haitian.


    Lin Yin had been working for him for several decades, so it would be unreasonable for him, as the new leader, to face such a conundrum!


    Lan Haitian picked up the phone quickly, and after Chen Mobai explained the situation, he pondered for a moment, then nodded with a bit of a wry smile.


    He agreed that this year Chen Mobai could use the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s share to secure a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill for Lin Yin. After ten years, he would use his influence at Xianwu Hall to return the pill to the Sky-Mending Group.


    Though the agreement was made only verbally, at their level such promises were the most binding.


    ¡°Consider this a favor I owe you!¡±


    After speaking, Lan Haitian sincerely thanked Chen Mobai.


    After all, if it were him, he definitely wouldn¡¯t go out of his way to help a predecessor¡¯s confidant apply for a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.


    ¡°Forget about it. I owe you quite a few favors too, and Lin Yin has been meticulous in her duties. She helped a lot when I first took over the Sky-Mending Group, which made my transition smooth¡­¡±


    After finishing the conversation with Lan Haitian and putting the phone down, Chen Mobai opened the door of his office and stepped out.


    Outside, the employees of the Sky-Mending Group looked up at him from their desks.


    ¡°Jialan, help me draft an application document!¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand and instructed Zhuang Jialan, who was closest to the office door.


    ¡°Yes, Chief of the Group. May I ask what kind of application document?¡±


    Zhuang Jialan nodded in response and asked immediately.


    ¡°For the Department of Law Enforcement, regarding our Sky-Mending Group¡¯s share of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill for this year!¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai said this, everyone gasped in surprise, turning their gazes toward Lin Yin, who trembled slightly not far away.


    ¡°Understood, Chief of the Group. Whose name should I write as the applicant?¡±


    Even Zhuang Jialan, upon hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly with excitement.


    This was the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill!


    The dream of her lifetime!


    ¡°Write Lin Yin as the applicant.¡±


    When Chen Mobai finally spoke the decision aloud, Lin Yin let out a long sigh of relief and looked gratefully at the handsome young man standing by the door.


    ¡°Thank you, Chief of the Group!¡±


    Lin Yin rose to her feet to express her gratitude to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is the well-deserved result of your many years of hard work. Once Jialan finishes the draft, take a look. If there are no issues, sign it, and then bring it to me to stamp!¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke with a gentle smile, then softly closed his office door.


    After just three minutes, there was a knock at the door.


    Lin Yin, holding the application document in her hands, walked in and handed it over to Chen Mobai!


    Chen Mobai carefully reviewed it, then signed his name where the leader¡¯s signature was required, and stamped it with the seal representing the chief of the group.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Before long, Hua Zijing walked in, and Chen Mobai handed over the sealed application document to her.


    ¡°Zijing, please make a trip and deliver this application to the Department of Law Enforcement.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Chief of the Group!¡±


    Hua Zijing, having witnessed the decision on the allocation of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill within the Sky-Mending Group made so decisively by Chen Mobai, couldn¡¯t help but feel excited.


    She sensed a bright future for herself from this decision!

 Chapter 1473 - Chapter 1473: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_4

    Chapter 1473: Chapter 769: Distribution of Core Formation Spiritual Medicine_4


    ¡°Lin Yin, you should come along too. You seem distracted; I think you won¡¯t be able to focus on work until this matter is sorted out!¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed Lin Yin standing nearby and couldn¡¯t help but tease him with a chuckle. Lin Yin slightly lowered his head in embarrassment but still went out with Hua Zijing!


    After dealing with this matter, Chen Mobai received quite a few calls.


    All from the Weapon Dancing Sect. By now, almost everyone had heard about the successful refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and wanted him, the person in charge, to secure a pill for them.


    Chen Mobai felt like a principal of a prestigious school at the start of term!


    He took two calls, then decided to silence his phone!


    The distribution for this round and the next had already been arranged by Wang Shuye before, and Chen Mobai certainly wouldn¡¯t want to embarrass him.


    Besides Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai had many other good friends.


    He took the initiative to call Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯ve got my spot locked in by the factory here, brother. I got it through my own talent, not by any connections!¡±


    Ming Yuhua felt moved when he saw Chen Mobai¡¯s call concerning his Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine. He replied in a tone just like when they were in the Daoist Academy.


    This, in turn, made Chen Mobai laugh heartily, something he hadn¡¯t done for a long while.


    The higher the position, the more precious he found such pure friendship to be.


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s workplace, the First Military Factory, was led by a Golden Core Member from the Repairing Heaven Institute. The factory¡¯s status was akin to that of the Sky-Mending Group, specializing in cutting-edge weaponry; every employee had a classified identity.


    Of course, for Chen Mobai, none of these confidential matters were off-limits.


    The fact that Ming Yuhua could secure a spot for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill there demonstrated his highly acknowledged talent in Artifact Refining.


    Truly worthy of being his good friend!


    After talking with Ming Yuhua for a while, Chen Mobai then called Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°Thanks. My Sky-Net Management Bureau also has a spot for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, although a few people could compete with me for it. With your help, I should be set!¡±


    Yunyang Bing was very grateful after hearing this.


    The Sky-Net Management Bureau held an even higher status than the Sky-Mending Group, being one of the most crucial core departments of the Immortal Gate.


    Hence, the personnel inside were the most complex, with experts in Formation from the Four Great Daoist Sects, Ten Great Academies, Bai Er Shi Fu, and many more gathered there.


    Yunyang Bing, although exceedingly gifted in Formation, found the competition challenging due to the relatively weak influence of the Weapon Dancing Sect in this area.


    ¡°Leave it to me, but after your sixty years of service, you might have to wait an extra ten or five years!¡±


    Chen Mobai was always earnest and sincere with his friends.


    ¡°Thanks a lot. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when I return to Wangwu Cave Heaven!¡±


    The Sky-Net Management Bureau was scattered across the Di Yuan Star¡¯s Spirit Vein hubs, and it was rare for someone like Yunyang Bing to return to the Imperial City for a report. Currently situated in Qingcheng Grotto Heaven, he was carrying out his duties and mapping out the landscape¡¯s vein network to further refine his knowledge of Formations!


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal then. I¡¯ll definitely pick an expensive place when the time comes!¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily and ended the call.


    He then called his brother-in-arms, Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°My dear brother, you really are like my own flesh and blood!¡±


    After hearing this, Wang Xingyu was moved to tears, expressing that having Chen Mobai as a friend was the greatest honor of his life.


    Because he practiced Fire Attribute Techniques, he did not pursue the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.


    According to his own plan, success in Core Formation in one attempt was unlikely, so he prepared for a protracted struggle.


    His plan was to exchange for a Fire Elemental Gold Core Pill from the Daoist Academy immediately after accumulating 60 years of service, using this opportunity to explore various experiences of Core Formation.


    After the first Core Formation attempt failed, he planned to enter public service and take the civil service examination to join the Immortal Gate, and then wait another 60 years to exchange for a Fire Elemental Gold Core Pill from the Immortal Gate, pinning all hopes on the second attempt.


    However, even with his uncle Wang Xin Fu being the second-in-command of the Weapon Dancing Sect at Kaiyuan Hall, this plan would be very difficult to realize!


    But with Chen Mobai, it was different!


    The combined influence of the two made the plan almost a certainty!


    ¡°When it¡¯s time for you to make arrangements, just give me a call!¡±


    After saying this to Wang Xingyu, Chen Mobai glanced at the other Metaphysical Class members but ultimately decided not to make any more calls.


    The resources of the Immortal Gate are limited, and what he could do was to take care of just a few people close to him.


    Moreover, even so, it had to be done within the confines of the rules.


    However, if in the future, the Metaphysical Class members needed just a little help to secure a spot for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine and they approached him, Chen Mobai would still be willing to help.


    But to make promises now would be a bit too premature!


    After making three calls, Chen Mobai thought of Meng Huang and Yan Bingxuan.


    Among them, Meng Huang¡¯s artistic troupe was supported by all the Nascent Soul Superiors of the entire Immortal Gate; she probably wouldn¡¯t need his help, right?


    Though he thought so, Chen Mobai still made a call to Meng Huang!


    ¡°Hello!¡±


    Speaking of which, since he took Qing Nu to the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai had not contacted Meng Huang for a long time, and she did not dare to call him proactively.


    She only dared to send greeting messages on holidays as a friend, hoping he would remember her.


    So when Chen Mobai took the initiative to call her this time, Meng Huang¡¯s voice was trembling slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, are you free tonight?¡±


    Since he had made contact, Chen Mobai thought it was better to speak face to face about such matters, so he directly asked her out.


    ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll be free these next few days!¡±


    Meng Huang immediately replied. Chen Mobai nodded and then said he would visit her to rest later in the evening.


    After making the call, Chen Mobai finally called Yan Bingxuan, the one he cared about the most.


    Checking the time, it was almost the end of the workday.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together!¡±


    Chen Mobai straightforwardly invited Yan Bingxuan for dinner, and she naturally agreed.


    Since arriving at Wangwu Cave Heaven, Yan Bingxuan mainly established herself in this largest city of the Immortal Gate, and even with Chen Mobai¡¯s backing, it was not an easy task.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, she wanted to prove her worth to Chen Mobai and be useful to him, only making calls when she really couldn¡¯t resolve issues on her own.


    Chen Mobai left his office, informed Zhuang Jialan, and left work early!


    He found a restaurant with a beautiful environment and, smiling, presented a gift box to Yan Bingxuan, who was already waiting for him.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan curiously accepted the gift. Chen Mobai asked her to open it, revealing a Water Spirit Pearl she had long possessed!

 Chapter 1474 - Chapter 1474: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences is Complete

    Chapter 1474: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences is Complete


    As long as they are female, the words ¡°eternal youth¡± hold a magical power for them, capable of making them lose their reason.


    Yan Bingxuan always paid attention to her appearance and posture in front of Chen Mobai, but when she heard about the Appearance-fixing Pearl, she too lost her composure.


    ¡°Is this for me?¡±


    After a long time, she slightly embarrassedly put down the Appearance-fixing Pearl she was holding.


    ¡°Who else could I give it to if not you?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile.


    After hearing this, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s lips slightly pursed, her eyes gentle, she directly condensed water into a rope, threaded the Appearance-fixing Pearl, and hung it around her snow-white neck.


    Chen Mobai watched as the azure Appearance-fixing Pearl slid over Yan Bingxuan¡¯s snow-white skin and dropped into her neckline, his gaze lingering slightly on her subtly covered curves with a hint of regret.


    Yan Bingxuan had developed a bad habit of using spells to cover her impressive bust whenever she went out.


    This was something Chen Mobai, who had once witnessed that exaggerated curve, deeply regretted.


    But he couldn¡¯t really comment on it.


    ¡°The best effect comes from refining the bead into your body; it can then constantly nourish your skin and bodily flesh to maintain youthfulness, but you need to infuse it with Water Spirit Qi periodically.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered guidance on refining the bead to Yan Bingxuan, holding the Refining Treasure Golden Light in hand, he could analyze the most suitable refining method for each Appearance-fixing Pearl.


    When he gifted it to Shi Wanyu previously, since she was a Qi Practitioner, refining the Appearance-fixing Pearl was a bit difficult, ultimately he had to teach her hands-on.


    In demonstrating the refining process for Shi Wanyu, Chen Mobai also refined an Appearance-fixing Pearl into his own body.


    Although he wasn¡¯t as obsessed with eternal youth as females, having abundant resources nonetheless.


    This way, he will forever remain youthful!


    The Spirit Root Attributes of Yan Bingxuan matched well with the Appearance-fixing Pearl, and since she was already a Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, she refined it very quickly with Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance.


    Soon, Chen Mobai saw a group of azure Spiritual Light illuminate from beneath her soft and delicate white sweater. It looked like pure flowing water, slowly seeping into the skin of her chest until it vanished from view.


    Yan Bingxuan opened her eyes, her bright eyes showing a hint of subtle joy.


    Seeing her successfully refine the pearl, Chen Mobai asked the waiter to start serving dishes.


    Soon, the dishes were served, and Chen Mobai also opened a bottle of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming, which tasted slightly sweet with not much of a kick. Based on her personal tasting experience, he found that frequent consumption could enhance the complexion of female cultivators.


    Yan Bingxuan took a gentle sip and couldn¡¯t help but be pleasantly surprised, endlessly praising the new wine.


    ¡°Thank you for your gift, I really like it!¡±


    After dinner, the two walked along a small street and unknowingly arrived at the junction where they had to part ways. Yan Bingxuan turned her head and thanked Chen Mobai.


    Her long hair cascaded over her rounded shoulders, smooth and lustrous. Wearing a simple white sweater added a touch of gentleness and freshness to her.


    Her typically aloof face, when in Chen Mobai¡¯s company, always showed unprecedented softness and warmth.


    Chen Mobai exchanged looks with her, the softness in those eyes almost making him unable to resist canceling his plans with Meng Huang.


    ¡°As long as you like it, I should go now, I have to work late tonight!¡±


    Chen Mobai suppressed the strong emotions surging in his heart and bid her farewell gently.


    ¡°Okay, goodbye then!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan spoke softly to bid farewell, then turned and walked towards her apartment.


    Watching her gracefully retreating figure, Chen Mobai suddenly realized that he had forgotten about the main purpose of their meeting.


    He was primarily supposed to discuss with her how to obtain the Gold Core Spiritual Material today.


    Well, her resources were already well-prepared anyway.


    Chen Mobai thought about the Ice Marrow Pure Jade and Water Mist Ice Crystal in his Storage Bag, deciding to have Hua Zijing go to the Portal Management Bureau again tomorrow to help him buy a Void Blind Box.


    Because the effect of the Water Element Golden Core Pill that Yan Bingxuan took was similar to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, arranging it on the side of the Immortal Gate would be easier, and Yan Qiongzhi would definitely help.


    If that doesn¡¯t work, he¡¯ll wait until Qing Nu completes the refinement of the Five Elements Golden Core Pill recipe and refine a batch of Water Element Golden Core Pills for her.


    The next morning.


    Chen Mobai took his jacket from Meng Huang and put it on.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to work now, don¡¯t worry about the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine; when you¡¯ve accumulated enough work experience, I¡¯ll use the influence of the Weapon Dancing Sect to help you. If all else fails, I¡¯ll use a guaranteed spot to secure one for you.¡±


    Last night, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t forgotten about the main matter, because after everything, Meng Huang had also lain on his chest and subtly reminded him.


    Since she couldn¡¯t compete with Jiang Yuyuan, the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill of the next ten years had already been internally promised to Jiang Yuyuan by the Literature and Art Group.


    What saddened her even more was that she and Jiang Yuyuan came from the same Weapon Lineage, and if Jiang Yuyuan got it, due to the rotation among the Four Great Daoist Academies, she would have to wait another round at least.

    If she wanted to exchange it as soon as she hit sixty years of service, she¡¯d have to settle for the slightly inferior Five Elements Golden Core Pill.


    Chen Mobai knew of Meng Huang¡¯s capabilities; without sufficient resources, forming a Gold Core would essentially be impossible for her.


    He always safeguards his close ones!


    Knowing this, he reassured Meng Huang.


    He would definitely help her acquire the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine as quickly as possible, ensuring she would have a second chance even if she failed the first time.

 Chapter 1475 - Chapter 1475: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Completed_2

    Chapter 1475: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Completed_2


    ¡°Hmm, will you come again tonight?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang nodded with a gentle and enchanting look in her eyes as she asked.


    ¡°It depends, we¡¯ll talk about it tonight!¡±


    Chen Mobai could not make a promise, considering his current position carried many responsibilities and unexpected matters might arise.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m free these days. But after half a month, I¡¯ll need to go on a tour with the performance troupe.¡±


    Meng Huang casually donned a thin nightgown, her affection brimming as she saw Chen Mobai out of the bedroom.


    ¡°Hmm, take care and don¡¯t tire yourself out.¡±


    Chen Mobai extricated his right hand, which had been gently trapped between her soft embrace, and after bidding farewell, he vanished directly from the living room through the use of the Underworld Array.


    Back in the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s office, Chen Mobai sipped the freshly brewed tea Zhuang Jialan had just brought in, his mind still savoring last night¡¯s memories.


    The tender Yan Bingxuan, the empathetic Meng Huang, both provided him incredible physical and mental comfort and relaxation.


    However, Chen Mobai only indulged in the recollection for a moment.


    After finishing a cup of tea, he recalled ¡°The Union of Differences¡± etched in his mind.


    This Divine Transformation Technique, which he had seen and memorized back in the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s library, was available for free to students, while outsiders would need to spend hundreds of millions of points to download it through official channels.


    At the Foundation Establishment stage, he pondered over ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and couldn¡¯t even see the doorway!


    Now, having achieved Core Formation, he could finally comprehend a bit of it.


    However, if he wanted to understand it thoroughly and start cultivating it, it would probably take at least a decade or two.


    Chen Mobai was not one to waste time like this.


    He promptly switched the mantra that used to be connected with the Longevity Sword Intent to ¡°The Union of Differences.¡±


    Then, he brewed a small cup of the little remaining Enlightenment Tea.


    Apart from these two personal efforts, Chen Mobai did not forget to seek advice from Hong Mengkui.


    Asking when in doubt is a very good quality to have.


    ¡°The Union of Differences¡± is a technique for artifact cultivation. As long as the co-participating artifact is well chosen, it is the fastest method to break through realms in the Immortal Gate.


    It is precisely because the achievement of the Divine Transformation Technique depends on the ¡°artifact¡± that it can be a specific Magic Artifact, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, a particular Spiritual Land, or even a planet ¨C it all depends on fate.


    However, passed down from the Daoist Academy, ninety-nine percent of ¡°The Union of Differences¡± cultivation experiences are with Magic Artifacts!


    Because a Magic Artifact is also a minor accomplishment in cultivation, if it happens to be a cultivator¡¯s lifebound artifact and coincidentally matches their own cultivation technique, then it is incredibly suitable for co-participation!


    If a Magic Artifact and a cultivator are perfectly in sync, then the cultivation breakthrough will naturally be as swift as cleaving bamboo.


    For example, Master Chengxuan, while studying at the academy, found a Rank-4 Soulful Mirror at the Treasure Trove that almost perfectly matched his Spirit Root Attributes. With ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± he cultivated smoothly to the Nascent Soul Realm without any obstacles.


    But as a result, his cultivation became shackled by the Soulful Mirror.


    Following the Nascent Soul, his pace of cultivation began to slow significantly.


    Even though ¡°The Union of Differences¡± allows for a change in the co-participating artifact, having cultivated in unison for a long time up to the Nascent Soul Realm, Master Chengxuan¡¯s Essence, Qi, and Spirit had already been assimilated by the Soulful Mirror, almost becoming another Artifact Spirit.


    Therefore, if Master Chengxuan wants to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, apart from finding his own path, he also needs to upgrade the Soulful Mirror to Rank-5.


    If he does not want to carry this burden, then he needs to discard his previous foundations completely.


    However, on the Immortal Gate side, being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm is extremely challenging, and Master Chengxuan does not confidently believe in reconstructing himself from scratch.


    But if he could overcome this obstacle, then after the co-participation artifact and cultivator both break through, the capabilities of ¡°The Union of Differences¡± cultivators are almost the best among their peers at the same realm.


    After understanding ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± the first thing Chen Mobai thought of was his own Turtle Treasure!


    This mysterious treasure, capable of taking him through two realms and even deeply connected to the origin of the Void, had once even alerted him to the possibility of absorbing and refining the Portal, indicating that its grade is certainly not low.


    At the very least, it would not be lower than the Portal!


    With that in mind, could he consider using the Turtle Treasure as his co-participant?


    Excited by this thought, Chen Mobai felt thrilled!


    That day, as Meng Huang left with the performance troupe for a tour outside Wangwu Cave Heaven, he also received the answers he had been seeking from Hong Mengkui about his doubts concerning ¡°The Union of Differences.¡±


    Hence, after instructing Hua Zijing and the other women to take care of the Sky-Mending Group, he entered the highest Spiritual Energy level Cultivation Room within the Sky-Mending Group for seclusion.


    With a gentle wave of his hand in front of his chest, the Turtle Shell, the body of the Turtle Treasure, had already descended into his right hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Refining Treasure Golden Light touched upon it, only to reveal common information about a turtle shell.


    Through this, Chen Mobai knew that the level of the Turtle Treasure must be incredibly high.


    At the very least Sixth Rank, or possibly even above¡­


    He took a deep breath, silently recited the Mantra of ¡°The Union of Differences¡± he had just mastered, and then, with his Divine Sense leaving his body following the co-participation method, like a soft rain without sound, sprinkled it over the Turtle Shell.


    The Divine Sense like strands of rain connected at various points to the Turtle Treasure, almost as if silver strands of light were extending from Chen Mobai¡¯s third eye, swiftly enveloping the Turtle Treasure in a silvery cocoon, followed by a mental command wanting to drag the Turtle Treasure into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

 Chapter 1476 - Chapter 1476: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Achieved - Part 3

    Chapter 1476: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Achieved ¨C Part 3


    I had thought it would be difficult, but with a ¡°swoosh!¡±


    Turtle Treasure really was like an ordinary turtle shell, showing no resistance, and was integrated by Chen Mobai through the Mutual Induction Knowledge Sharing Technique, absorbed from his brow into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion!


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    The smoothness of the process left Chen Mobai quite astonished.


    He employed the mantra of ¡°The Union of Differences¡± again, and afterwards, Turtle Treasure disappeared from the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and appeared in the palm of his hand.


    This indicated that the Mutual Induction truly succeeded!


    This should have been a joyous occasion, but¡­


    Why did Turtle Treasure show no reaction at all?


    Chen Mobai utilized various mantras from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, such as extracting essence to nourish oneself, but there was no response!


    He employed the Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique, which allows a cultivator to see various information and experiences of the integrated object; if the grade of the integrated object isn¡¯t high, one might even directly trace back to its origin and see the scene of its birth.


    But Chen Mobai only saw the turtle shell in his hand.


    He then employed the Reciprocal Nourishment Technique, which allows a cultivator to boost integration by sacrificing their own Elemental Energy, although this process involves significant loss. However, as the energies of both parties increasingly converge, this loss can be reduced to almost zero.


    Unfortunately, whatever Chen Mobai infused, Turtle Treasure rejected the same amount, seemingly unimpressed by his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.


    After employing various techniques from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, Turtle Treasure remained just Turtle Treasure!


    Chen Mobai, looking at the unfathomable turtle shell in his hand, felt quite irritated!


    What had he integrated with, exactly?


    Left with no choice, he had to dissolve the integration with Turtle Treasure.


    Fortunately, unlike the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, ¡°The Union of Differences¡± allows changing of the integrated object anytime if unsatisfied.


    However, the longer the integration and the more invested, the greater the damage to one¡¯s foundation upon switching.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s integration with the turtle shell lasted less than half a day, and after changing, he felt nothing at all!


    He reconsidered the Magical Artifacts he possessed!


    Beyond this turtle shell, naturally, the most powerful were the Purple and Green Double Swords, both already Fourth Grade Superior, merely needing the right opportunity to achieve spiritual maturity and ascend to Rank-5!


    Even if Chen Mobai was willing, both swords would probably willingly become his co-integration partners!


    But Chen Mobai would certainly not do such a thing!


    After all, the Qing Shuang Sword was borrowed and must be returned in the future!


    Moreover, his path is essentially the Pure Yang Scroll, and he could never switch to the Purple Hua and Qing Xiao Sword Manuals!


    Beyond the Purple and Green Double Swords, Chen Mobai considered the assets of the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness!


    Possible targets included the Great Dao Tree within the Divine Tree Secret Realm and the Five Elements Spirit Tree within the Yiyuan Secret Realm!


    The Great Dao Tree, mysteriously connected to the Heavenly Sovereign, might have once been of Fifth-order Level!


    Whereas the Five Elements Spirit Tree is confirmed to have fallen from Rank-5, integrating it would likely lead to the great success of his Primordial Dao Fruit!


    But these two Spirit Plants are also challenging to approach!


    The Five Elements Spirit Tree is located in Hunyuan Immortal City; he certainly couldn¡¯t go in person to meet Zhou Ye, a ticking time bomb!


    If the Great Dao Tree really relates to Heavenly Sovereign, integrating it would be like throwing oneself into the tiger¡¯s den!


    Beyond these two Spirit Plants, there are the Talent Tree and Magic Treasure Tree!


    These are confirmed to be Fourth Stage Pinnacle Everlife Woods, but both have been modified by the Longevity Sect, and it¡¯s unclear whether there are any underlying issues!


    It¡¯s not possible to co-integrate with the Everlife Wood from his own arena at Giant Tree Ridge!


    Chen Mobai thought about this and shook his head directly!


    His cultivation isn¡¯t based on the Qing Emperor¡¯s Longevity Scripture!


    After dismissing this idea, Chen Mobai was left with only one choice!


    He took out the Haotian Mirror, which had just been upgraded to Rank-4!


    Rank-4 is equivalent to Nascent Soul. By integrating it, he could extract its Pure Yang True Intent, subtly influencing his suitability for the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, and later on, it might even increase the cultivation speed of his Pure Yang Daoist Body!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai recalled the words of Hong Mengkui.


    If only he had the Primordial Yang Sword in hand!


    This Rank-5 Flying Sword would be the most suitable for his integration.


    Unfortunately, his current Cultivation Realm is too low. If he had a Nascent Soul, he could compete for the position of Head of Immortal Affairs and then take control of Little Red Sky.


    Beyond the Primordial Yang Sword, there is also the Primordial Yang Set left by the Yuanyang Ancestor, which would also be highly suitable.


    But that is nominally in the hands of Pure Yang Academy, and he knows very well that Nangong Xuanyu would never agree to give it to him, the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    With no other options, Chen Mobai could only integrate with the Haotian Mirror for now!


    This was originally his Lifespan Artifact, and the integration process, like with Turtle Treasure, was smooth, devoid of any resistance.


    But applying various techniques from ¡°The Union of Differences¡± on the Haotian Mirror, the experience was completely different from that with Turtle Treasure!


    While extracting the essence of integration, Chen Mobai felt intense heat surge out of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, infiltrating and merging into his Essence, Qi, and Spirit throughout his body.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    During this process, Chen Mobai felt his Fire Spirit Body seemed to be activated to the utmost, absorbing the Pure Yang True Intent, and evolving towards the acquired Pure Yang Body.


    However, during this process, Chen Mobai also began to notice his constitution slowly changing.


    This is one of the drawbacks of co-integration.


    From now on, Chen Mobai could only steadfastly hold onto the Pure Yang Scroll, moving forward unswervingly. If he later finds this Great Tao impassable and wishes to change, he can only forsake his foundation, even going so far as to dissolve and rebuild from scratch!


    Yet for this, Chen Mobai had absolutely no hesitation!

 Chapter 1477 - Chapter 1477: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Cultivation Complete_4

    Chapter 1477: Chapter 770 The Union of Differences Cultivation Complete_4


    After graduating from high school, he had already set his sights on the Pure Yang Scroll!


    Only through this Divinity Transformation Technique that relies on resources could he ascend to the peak of the Immortal Gate.


    If the Pure Yang Scroll could not lead him to Divinity Transformation, then no other Divine Transformation Technique possibly could!


    Chen Mobai had never doubted this belief and perspective of his own.


    After going through the process of Mutual Induction Knowledge Sharing Technique, Chen Mobai also began to use the Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique; it was at this moment when he truly understood what it felt like for Zhuo Ming to communicate with Spirit Plants through the All Things Spiritual Communication.


    He saw all the scenes and experiences of the Haotian Mirror in Yin Qingmei¡¯s hands; and this was just the beginning, there were even longer scrolls to come regarding the experiences with this Magic Artifact!


    Chen Mobai immediately entered into the state of Inner Observation, which allowed him to cast aside all miscellaneous thoughts, and then he began analyzing all the information he had seen through the Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique.


    From advancement through the Heavenly Tribulation to Chen Mobai taking action to transform the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror into the Haotian Mirror, he continued to go upstream into a vast expanse of dark imagery!


    This was the time when the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was sealed within the Device Nurturing Sphere!


    With a thought, Chen Mobai understood.


    Then, he quickly fast-forwarded through this section of the scroll, eventually seeing an old Golden Core Master clad in a Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, sighing as he sealed the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror into the Treasure Trove!


    This must be the previous owner of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    Before passing away in meditation as his lifespan neared its end, he personally sent this Lifespan Artifact back to the Daoist Academy, hoping it could find a better owner.


    He succeeded!


    Because Chen Mobai acquired it!


    As the final section of the scroll unfolded, Chen Mobai continued to reverse time with the Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique, observing the former owner of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror laboriously accumulating various precious Rank-3 materials in the Immortal Gate, preparing the plans, the refining process, and finally the forming of the mirror.


    After seeing all this, the effect of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique gradually dissipated!


    This was the entire history of the Haotian Mirror!


    After exiting the state of Inner Observation, Chen Mobai¡¯s emotions began to fluctuate violently, and it took him a good half day to completely stabilize.


    Afterward, he once again used the Reciprocal Nourishment Technique recorded in ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    This technique is also what Chen Mobai considers the most powerful in ¡°The Union of Differences¡±!


    After performing it, the conditions needed for the Haotian Mirror to continue to level up began to emerge clearly in his mind.


    Due to the original material limitations of the mirror body, the actual possibility of further improvement was as difficult as reaching Heaven.


    After all, when refining the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the best material used was Rank-3, and it even contained a bit of Rank-2.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai using the Rank-4 mirror frame of the Everlife Wood and Yin Qingmei¡¯s relentless cultivation giving it spirituality, the Haotian Mirror would probably have shattered facing the Heavenly Tribulation!


    An Artifact Spirit can absorb suitable energy to improve its own material quality and consequently level up its grade.


    For example, the Purple Electric Sword, it requires Spirit Stones because it wants to upgrade its material to Rank-5.


    The Spiritual Energy within Spirit Stones is attributeless and can be refined by any Artifact Spirit.


    That is why to nurture Fourth and Fifth Rank Magic Artifacts in the Immortal Gate, Spirit Stones are also used for sealing!


    However, if Chen Mobai wanted to wait for the Artifact Spirit of the Haotian Mirror to absorb energy and complete the upgrade and transition, it could take hundreds of years.


    With that amount of time, he estimates he could have already achieved Nascent Soul Formation!


    Chen Mobai continued the Reciprocal Nourishment Technique, and soon, the process of how to step by step replace the low-level materials inside the Haotian Mirror emerged in his mind.


    This is akin to performing surgery on the magic artifact, methodically replacing piece by piece, eventually switching all the Rank-2 and Rank-3 materials for higher ranked ones. In doing so, without the Haotian Mirror realizing it, its body is being swapped for a stronger one!


    According to Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking, it is definitely necessary to replace them with Rank-4 materials!


    There is definitely no way to do this at the Immortal Gate, and it might be difficult to find them in the Eastern Wilderness, but there must be some in the entire East Continent!


    It just so happens that under the leadership of Yue Zutao, Five Elements Commerce Association has gone to the East Land. After Chen Mobai comes out of seclusion, he plans to write a letter to Yue Zutao to look out for the Rank-4 materials needed for the enhancement of the Haotian Mirror.


    Whether they can be obtained is not the concern for now; it¡¯s enough to just find out about them.


    Chen Mobai just thought of this when he sensed a weak emotion coming from the Haotian Mirror, and he immediately stopped practicing ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    After all, it had just reached Rank-4 and could not withstand him drawing essence for such a long period of time to replenish and refine itself!


    Afterwards, out of curiosity, Chen Mobai performed the Reciprocal Nourishment Technique, and then he deeply regretted it!


    Because as soon as he started, the Haotian Mirror began to joyfully absorb his Pure Yang Spiritual Power. In just a few breaths, half of his Dantian Qi Sea was depleted.


    Chen Mobai immediately stopped and opened the Small Void to replenish his energy, thereby avoiding damaging his origins!


    It is indeed enormously draining for Rank-3 Spiritual Power to supplement Rank-4!


    Chen Mobai felt that only about half of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power absorbed by the Haotian Mirror was converted.


    After finishing the practice of various techniques on ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, Chen Mobai took out a Return to True Elixir and consumed it.


    However, because he was in the cultivation room of the Sky-Mending Group, he did not dare to fully absorb Spiritual Energy, as the Return to True Elixir would help absorb Spiritual Energy at a rate dozens of times higher than usual.


    Chen Mobai flicked his fingers, activating the ten Top-grade Spirit Stones that had been arranged around him!


    These Spirit Stones just formed a Spirit Gathering Array!


    He even took out the Red Misty Cloud Silk to conceal the activity!


    Even so, he still drew most of the Rank-4 Spiritual Energy provided by the cultivation room, causing the leader of the fifth group to be astonished.


    Just a casual practice session could absorb and refine so much Spiritual Energy¨Cworthy indeed of someone with the Qualification of Deification!


    It is unknown how much time passed until Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes!


    He hung the Crown of Heaven and Earth¡¯s Inner Observation over the Pure Yang Scroll!


    Soon, the progress of 9% at Golden Core Eighth Layer appeared in his mind.


    A single Return to True Elixir could now only provide a progress of 9%, much less than when he first began taking it.


    Although he had already anticipated this, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he actually saw it.


    It seems that after refining the third batch of Return to True Elixirs, there was no need for him to continue taking them. He could just put them up for sale in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion or give them to the Five Elements Commerce Association as merchandise to enter the East Land.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel dejected about this. After all, in the world of the Immortal Gate, there weren¡¯t many elixirs like the Return to True Elixir that could enhance Spiritual Power in the late stage of Core Formation.

    Since Qing Nu was already in the Eastern Wilderness, he¡¯d let her do the hard work of selecting a new elixir suitable for the Pure Yang Scroll that could quickly bring him to Golden Core Perfection.


    With the Five Elements Sect¡¯s current dominance over the Eastern Wilderness, collecting Rank-3 elixir ingredients was almost no issue. Even if some of the main ingredients were precious and not available in the Eastern Wilderness, there could be ways to exchange them from neighboring territories.


    Having thought this over, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t continue to remain in seclusion and take Return to True Elixirs. He checked the time, gathered up the empty shells of the Top-grade Spirit Stones and the Red Misty Cloud Silk¨Cmaking sure to leave no trace behind¨Cand then he activated the door and walked out!


    ¡°Head of the group, you¡¯ve come out of seclusion!¡±


    Outside the door, the leader of the fifth group greeted him respectfully.

 Chapter 1478 - Chapter 1478: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul

    Chapter 1478: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul


    Cultivating ¡°The Union of Differences¡± in seclusion took up one and a half months.


    Time flew by, and it¡¯s almost the end of the year again.


    After emerging from his retreat, the first thing Chen Mobai did was to approve Lin Yin¡¯s long leave. According to her plan, she intended to wait until the end of this year¡¯s business and then take next year¡¯s leave to prepare for Core Formation.


    However, Chen Mobai understood her state of mind very well, probably preoccupied with thoughts of Core Formation.


    Even if she was still part of the Sky-Mending Group, her heart was surely no longer in it.


    Thus, he readily granted Lin Yin a long leave. Her deputy position in the Sky-Mending Group would be reserved for her, but her duties would temporarily be handed over to Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan to manage.


    To outsiders, Chen Mobai seemed to be setting up his allies for promotion.


    If it were not for the fact that Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan had joined the Sky-Mending Group just over a year ago and were relatively junior, Chen Mobai might have taken advantage of this opportunity to transfer Lin Yin¡¯s deputy leadership to one of them.


    And indeed, this was Chen Mobai¡¯s very intention!


    Yet this was also in part Lan Haitian¡¯s wish.


    He had secured his footing in the Xianwu Hall, but lacked trustworthy personnel, thus was keen to transfer Lin Yin, one of his own, over.


    For this very reason, Lan Haitian had allowed Chen Mobai to secure a Golden Liquid Jade Pill for Lin Yin, an act of utilizing his own connections to aid his competent subordinate.


    But it was a win-win situation. After all, Lin Yin had followed Lan Haitian for decades. Even though her collaboration with Chen Mobai had been very pleasant, she was not truly one of his own. Chen Mobai would certainly wonder, when the crunch comes, how Lin Yin would choose between himself and Lan Haitian, her former leader!


    Rather than face such uncertainty, it was better to address this issue at its root.


    Just as well, Chen Mobai had recently transferred Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, the direct disciples of the Weapon Dancing Sect, into the Sky-Mending Group, and Lin Yin had done her utmost to transfer all responsibilities and authority she could to them.


    Once Lin Yin received the Golden Liquid Jade Pill through the Sky-Mending Group, regardless of whether her Core Formation was successful or not, Lan Haitian would arrange for her to be moved to the Xianwu Hall.


    Following her departure, the vacant position left behind had Chen Mobai contemplating whether Hua Zijing or Zhuang Jialan would be a better fit for the role.


    However, Chen Mobai was quite thankful to Lan Haitian for this arrangement. If Lan Haitian hadn¡¯t kept Lin Yin behind, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t have been able to take over the Sky-Mending Group so smoothly.


    One could only say that the two individuals, belonging to different factions, worked together with great understanding.


    Sometimes, Lan Haitian felt this to be incredible, as he had joined the Sky-Mending Group straight after graduation. Under the arrangement of the Righteous Law Hall Master, he integrated with various departments, spending a hundred years to hone his political acumen and abilities.


    Yet Chen Mobai, without official experience, had managed affairs smoothly after assuming leadership of the Weapon Lineage, dealing with various powers confidently and methodically.


    After Wang Shuye, the former head, departed from the highest echelons, the Weapon Lineage did not fall into disarray. Instead, under Chen Mobai¡¯s leadership, it continued to prosper.


    This man was not only a cultivation prodigy but also a natural-born sage in emotional intelligence and worldly affairs!


    Three years after Chen Mobai took over the Weapon Lineage, the other three lineages of the Immortal Gate gave him such an assessment.


    After obtaining the leave permit, Lin Yin, delighted, handed over her work to Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, then hurriedly packed her bags to return to her hometown.


    Many in Immortal Gate hold the belief of returning to one¡¯s roots, thinking that a part of their body and soul belongs to their native land, where the chances of breakthrough success are higher.


    After seeing off Lin Yin, Chen Mobai called Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan into his office, where the three of them held a small internal meeting.


    ¡°Lin Yin¡¯s Core Formation retreat may take several years. By the time results emerge, both of your qualifications will be more or less sufficient. She will then be transferred to the Xianwu Hall by Lan Haitian, and her deputy leader position will be up for grabs¨Cwho among you two wants it?¡±


    Chen Mobai got straight to the point.


    ¡°Senior sister is more capable and has a better temperament than me; let her take the position.¡±


    Just as Hua Zijing hesitated, Zhuang Jialan had already declined with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, then that¡¯s settled. Zijing will take over as deputy leader, and Jialan, you will continue as my secretary.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing felt as though she had gotten the short end of the stick, but at that moment, all she could do was nod and express her gratitude to Zhuang Jialan.


    ¡°From now on, Zijing, start taking over the work Lin Yin left behind. I trust your abilities; be bold in your actions, knowing that I have your back!¡±


    This declaration from Chen Mobai made Hua Zijing¡¯s expression turn solemn.


    Compared to being a secretary, the position of deputy leader was undeniably more challenging, yet it also meant that the next Golden Liquid Jade Pill from the Sky-Mending Group would be hers.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For that reason, she wouldn¡¯t decline the opportunity.


    Having taken care of this matter, Chen Mobai made a phone call to Lan Haitian to update him, and the latter expressed his gratitude.


    Sky-Mending Group Rank-2.


    Within the highest-level workshop, Chen Mobai placed a thumb-sized piece of Rank-3 Purple Gold atop the surface of the Haotian Mirror, employing the ascension technique from ¡°The Union of Differences¡± to replace the existing Rank-2 Red Copper within the mirror body.


    As time passed, a drop of red copper liquid seeped out from the back of the mirror.

 Chapter 1479 - Chapter 1479: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_2

    Chapter 1479: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_2


    Meanwhile, the surface of the mirror, which had been melted by the Great Sun Fire, was shimmering with the luster of purple gold that had seeped in a bit.


    As the purple gold infiltrated and the red copper exuded in the process, Chen Mobai was also sensing the joy emanating from the Haotian Mirror.


    It was as if a lesion within a patient¡¯s body had been drawn out and then injected with even more powerful elemental energy, making the spiritual nature of this Co-participation Legal Device seem to have gotten stronger.


    When the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was originally refined, due to the lack of sufficient Rank-3 purple gold, some Rank-2 red copper was used as a substitute. After learning of this through his Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique, Chen Mobai immediately reserved the piece of purple gold through his privileges on the Immortal Gate Network.


    Beyond that, he also leveraged his connections to issue a list of Rank-4 materials needed for updating the Haotian Mirror.


    Aside from his own Dance Tool Dao Academy and the friendly Jumang Academy, he also sent a copy to the Repairing Heaven Institute, and even to Lan Haitian.


    The idea was simply to ensure that interested parties within the Immortal Gate were aware of it.


    Because Rank-4 materials were extremely precious within the Immortal Gate, but these powers did have some stock, and with Chen Mobai¡¯s identity, he was qualified to exchange one or two kinds.


    However, the Four Great Daoist Sects would certainly not exchange such information with each other.


    In this way, when Chen Mobai¡¯s Haotian Mirror later takes advantage of Tianhe Realm¡¯s materials to update and greatly enhance its spiritual nature and grade, they would only suspect that Chen Mobai obtained the Rank-4 materials from other forces to enhance it through ¡°The Union of Differences.¡±


    But Chen Mobai still used his connections to reserve a piece of Rank-4 Vermilion Fire Jade from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Rank-4 Golden Dewdrop from Jumang Academy, and he also applied to the Forestry Administration for a section of Rank-4 Spirit Wood.


    Only by mixing truth with falsehood can one earn trust!


    Seven days later, Chen Mobai completed the first enhancement of the Haotian Mirror!


    The purple gold on the surface had completely melted and infiltrated the body of the mirror, while a ball of red copper the size of a dumpling was condensing like flowing water at his fingertips.


    However, after this process was completed, Chen Mobai felt that the Co-participation with the Haotian Mirror was a bit awkward.


    But this was not his fault; it was obviously because, after the update, the Artifact Spirit was still not quite used to its more powerful mirror body, and in time, this awkwardness would disappear.


    Afterwards, Chen Mobai then cast the ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± he had envisioned following the mirror¡¯s level up!


    Pure Yang Fire and Great Sun Fire refined with the Dan Fire of Pure Yang Spiritual Power could ascend to become one of the Immortal Gate¡¯s six treasured flames¨Cthe Great Sun Qianyang Fire.


    Chen Mobai already felt pressured for time in advancing his realm and would definitely not indulge in such a time-consuming task.


    But the predecessor of the Haotian Mirror, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, had ¡°Pure Yang Fire.¡± As a Magic Artifact of the Chidi Puzhao Jing, the Haotian Mirror itself could condense ¡°Great Sun Fire.¡± Moreover, after Co-participation with Chen Mobai, it could draw Pure Yang Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea, as long as its master let it.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, the Artifact Spirit of the Haotian Mirror surprisingly cultivated the first strands of ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire.¡±


    This Great Sun Qianyang Fire combined with another spell, the Mysterious Yang Divine Light, formed the offensive and defensive ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡±!


    Chen Mobai tested it and found that when the ¡°Big Sun Qian Yang Divine Fire Shield¡± enveloped his body, any spell or artifact that wasn¡¯t of Rank-4 strength would turn to ashes upon impact.


    Having the Haotian Mirror master the ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡± was as if Chen Mobai himself had mastered it.


    He also compared the Golden Flame developed from the Red Flame Sword Jue with this ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire.¡± Although the approaches of both were similar, the power of Golden Flame, even at its peak refinement, equaled that of the Extreme Sun Slash of Rank-4, while the ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡± could continuously level up along with the rise of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai even tried, through Inner Observation, to see if the ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡± could replace the Golden Flame and execute the Extreme Sun Slash!


    And indeed, it was feasible!


    By that time, the power of the Extreme Sun Slash could break through the fourth-grade lower class and even potentially reach Rank-5!


    On the aspect of Fire Attribute talent, Chen Mobai already dared to claim he was first in the Immortal Gate, without even needing Enlightenment Tea, simply through his own understanding, he had quickly created a rough version of the New Extreme Sun Slash!


    Next, he would continuously deduce and evolve this rough creation into a theoretically perfect spell!


    Upon checking the progress of decoding the Longevity Sword Intent, Chen Mobai found it was less than ideal, so he turned his Inner Observation to refining the New Extreme Sun Slash.


    In the following days, he revised the draft six times, and having confirmed the correct direction, he continued refining it with Inner Observation and absorbed the Haotian Mirror into his body, ready to emerge from seclusion.


    Outside the workshop, upon receiving the news, the leader of the second group, Jiang Rengang, personally welcomed Chen Mobai, his direct superior.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had a chat with him to understand what had happened in their team during his seclusion and found that everything was as usual, which greatly pleased him.


    Before long, Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan also arrived.


    The two women followed Chen Mobai to his office to report two matters that required the attention of him, the overall team leader: one was to urge the Department of Law Enforcement to promptly reimburse the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s invoices and bonuses for the year, and the other was to report this year¡¯s work status of the Sky-Mending Group to the Righteous Law Hall Master.


    The first matter was very straightforward; Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even need to get involved personally. He made a call to Wen Lianshan from his office, who assured that before the year-end holidays, the Good Deed Points would be credited to the Sky-Mending Group¡¯s account.


    As for the second matter, there was no avoiding it; he had to personally report to the leadership.

 Chapter 1480 - Chapter 1480: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_3

    Chapter 1480: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_3


    It was a rare occasion today that Chen Mobai was actually in the office of the Righteous Law Hall Master and saw the esteemed Narcissus.


    Unfortunately, as soon as he entered, Narcissus couldn¡¯t help but wrinkle his nose, seemingly a bit uncomfortable.


    ¡°What spell have you cultivated? It has a strong fire scent.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked confused, but he soon understood what Narcissus meant.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just completed the cultivation of ¡®Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡¯, it might be because of this!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Gongsun Jielu who stood by was shocked and glanced at him.


    The Six Great Precious Flames of the Immortal Gate are well-known, each capable of being cultivated to Rank-5, and once mastered, possess the power of Rank-4.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s exceptional talent was already known, it was unexpected that amidst his distractions with work in the Sky-Mending Group, he could progress so swiftly. In the Golden Core Realm, he managed to master the signature ¡°Great Sun Qianyang Fire¡± of the Pure Yang Scroll!


    Truly worthy of being a soon-to-be-immortal with the potential for Divinity Transformation!


    ¡°Next time before you visit me, refrain from cultivating such powerful Fire Attributes Techniques, as I am extremely sensitive to this scent!¡±


    At Narcissus¡¯s words, Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement.


    Thanks to this, after Chen Mobai finished reporting, Narcissus waved his hand indicating he could leave, thus concluding this matter.


    After returning to the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai instructed Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, then took some time off for himself.


    Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Yan Bingxuan.


    He even asked Yan Bingxuan if she would like to return to Red Sandstone City, but her parents had already passed away and seeing that the Mysterious Frost Company was not yet stable in Wangwu Cave Heaven, she decided to stay and strive for her career.


    In regret, Chen Mobai could only bid her farewell.


    Meng Huang was arranged for many New Year¡¯s performances, and she was still outside.


    Thus, after saying a few words to some friends, Chen Mobai returned to Red Sandstone City.


    That day.


    He spent the New Year at home enjoying lively conversations with his increasingly aged parents, and Shi Wanyu and her daughter were also there, making the family joyously celebrate the New Year together.


    ¡°Son, I have no regrets in this life!¡±


    As the family of five sat on the sofa watching the New Year¡¯s Eve show on TV, Tang Panchui holding her granddaughter¡¯s hand, suddenly said with a loving face.


    ¡°Mom¡­¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to say something, Xiao Hei was already holding Tang Panchui¡¯s aged hand, pointing at a major star appearing on TV, her favorite predecessor from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Grandma look, there¡¯s Senior Sister Meng¡­¡±


    All Chen Mobai could do was shake his head and then continue to pour tea into Chen Xinglan¡¯s empty cup.


    After enjoying this Spring Festival, Chen Mobai told his family that he had made further breakthroughs in his cultivation level and went to the top of Danxia Mountain for seclusion.


    Mount Tianpeng.


    Qing Nu was handling various herbs, while Chen Mobai was refining this year¡¯s Five Elements Essence.


    At Flying Dragon Pool presided over by Zhou Wangshen, two previous true transmissions of the Five Elements Sect had good luck and succeeded in Foundation Establishment by taking elixirs.


    A Foundation Establishment Practitioner can provide ten portions of Five Elements Essence annually, but as they were Earth Vein and Water Vein foundations, just the Gold Element Essence and Water Attribute Essence increased by ten portions.


    For Chen Mobai, who needed a balance of Five Elements, this had no significance.


    However, this matter also gave him hope for the grand completion of Primordial True Qi.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Trithings, huh? This alchemy recipe is easy to improve, but right now it¡¯s mainly about helping you refine Lingyuan Pill to quickly reach Perfect Core Formation.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts, Qing Nu put down the herbs she was handling and spoke.


    Lingyuan Pill is another kind of elixir from the Immortal Gate that enhances Spiritual Power in late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and even aids those in Perfect Core Formation to accelerate the condensation of Spiritual Power into True Qi.


    Qing Nu has been busy with this lately; Chen Mobai even shared half of his remaining Enlightenment Tea with her.


    ¡°The Lingyuan Pill is crucial; you need to refine it yourself. But the production of Foundation Establishment Trithings can be assisted by our sect¡¯s Alchemy Department. Once you complete the improvement of the recipe, I¡¯ll send them to learn from you.¡±


    Although alchemists like Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye were less experienced compared to Qing Nu, focusing on one or two specific types of elixir refinements, they could still be competent pure alchemists.


    ¡°That works. Besides, there are still three main ingredients for the Lingyuan Pill that need substitutes. I¡¯ll take this time to train the alchemists from your sect!¡±


    Qing Nu always supported Chen Mobai and nodded in agreement. She then penned down the recipe for Foundation Establishment Trithings and started brewing a cup of Enlightenment Tea, beginning to improve the recipe using local herbs from the Tianhe Realm.


    After refining the Five Elements Essence, Chen Mobai felt the nearly complete second surge of Primordial True Qi and couldn¡¯t help but smile gently. Then, he wielded the Purple and Green Double Swords to fly into the sky, condensing a strand of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.


    Just as he was preparing to spend the last few days of the spring holiday with Qing Nu, his first disciple Liu Wenbo found him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Master, a letter from the Dongwu Sun Family!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    Could it be that Sun Huangji succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation and came to show off his power?


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai took the letter and opened it, only to have his brows relax.


    The sender was Sun Huangling, now the head of the Sun family. She heard that Chen Mobai had an Earthline Demonic Beast¡¯s inner core and wanted to acquire it for use as a main ingredient in refining an alchemy recipe.

 Chapter 1481 - Chapter 1481: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_4

    Chapter 1481: Chapter 771: Arrival of the Nascent Soul_4


    As long as it is not Sun Huangji forming his Nascent Soul, it will be fine!


    Chen Mobai has a mindset that fears both the inability of his neighbor to withstand the Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters and the success of his neighbor¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, he has no prejudice against the Dongwu Sun family; since Sun Huangling sent a letter, he will definitely help.


    After all, with the matter of the Sky Blue Silver Light Grass, the Sun family also gave him face.


    It so happens that Chen Mobai has two Earthline Demonic Beast inner cores in his hands.


    Originally, he planned to refine them all into Heterodox Golden Cores, but since Zhang Zibo was conscripted by the Sun family to refine other elixirs, they had been left in his storage bag.


    Now that the Sun family needs them, he is willing to return the favor.


    This is also a good opportunity to exchange with the Sun family for a Water Attribute Heterodox Golden Core for Qing Nu.


    Over the years, the Sun family has accumulated a lot of Third-Order Demon Beast inner cores from their battles in Cloud Dream Marsh, most of which are of Water Attribute.


    ¡°Deliver this to Brother Nu Jiang, and hand him this letter. He will know what to do,¡± Chen Mobai instructed.


    Since it was Nu Jiang who came forward and owed a favor due to the Sky Blue Silver Light Grass, it was only right for Chen Mobai to have him return the favor.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After Liu Wenbo left, Chen Mobai was planning to continue condensing his Pure Yang True Qi when he suddenly received an urgent letter sent by someone dispatched by Yuan Chiye.


    It was Qi Rui who personally crossed half of the Eastern Wilderness and delivered it into his hands on Mount Tianpeng.


    The content of the letter also shocked Chen Mobai!


    A Nascent Soul Cultivator had arrived in Northern Abyss City!


    After reading Yuan Chiye¡¯s letter, Chen Mobai did not dare to delay. After saying a word to Qing Nu, he immediately led Qi Rui back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue arrived at his Longevity Wood Dojo immediately upon receiving his notification.


    ¡°Elder Muqin from Kong Sang Valley! Why would he come to the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing, after reading the letter, frowned in confusion.


    Among the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the East Barbarians¡¯ three major sects, only the two from Kong Sang Valley had no reason to oppose the Five Elements Sect.


    Only Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Sun Bathing Sea bore a grudge against their sect!


    ¡°Let¡¯s not worry about the reasons for now. Since Elder Muqin has entered Northern Abyss City and has made no moves, he is clearly waiting for us to go over. It¡¯s somewhat impolite to keep a Nascent Soul Cultivator waiting!¡±


    Chen Mobai analyzed the situation calmly. Regardless of Elder Muqin from Kong Sang Valley¡¯s purpose in coming to the Eastern Wilderness, as hosts, they must definitely go to greet him.


    ¡°Hmm, then I will trouble Junior Brother Fu to hold down the fort at the sect. I will visit Northern Abyss City with Junior Brother Chen to see what Elder Muqin is harboring in his gourd,¡± Zhou Shengqing also nodded, agreeing with Chen Mobai¡¯s idea.


    Without further delay, they then took the Teleportation Array and headed towards Northern Abyss City at the fastest speed.


    Meanwhile, Fu Zongjue also sent someone to Golden Cliff to inform Mo Douguang, who, after taking the Return to True Elixir, easily completed the accumulation of Spiritual Power and achieved the realm of Perfect Core Formation.


    According to the locals¡¯ thinking, one must prepare for the worst when it comes to outsiders.


    With Mo Douguang having achieved Perfect Core Formation, he could suppress any cultivator below Nascent Soul.


    With him, Chen Mobai, and Zhou Shengqing, unless both great Nascent Soul Cultivators of Kong Sang Valley came over, the three of them could hold their ground.


    Upon arriving at Northern Abyss City, Zhou Shengqing first went into hiding, ready to see what Elder Muqin was actually planning to do.


    Chen Mobai found Yuan Chiye to understand the situation.


    It was discovered that Elder Muqin was not alone; he was accompanied by two Golden Core Cultivators, thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, and several dozen Qi Practitioners.


    They traveled on a Flying Boat, setting off from Dongwu, crossing the Ruins, and arriving at Northern Abyss City.


    Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t even see Elder Muqin in person; instead, it was a Golden Core Cultivator from Kong Sang Valley, True Person Mingwen, who came to visit him and informed him of his master Elder Muqin¡¯s arrival.


    With his mere Foundation Establishment Realm, he naturally did not dare to glimpse the esteemed presence of a Nascent Soul.


    Furthermore, a prestigious Golden Core Cultivator would certainly not jest with him, so he immediately turned the matter into a written letter and had Qi Rui personally deliver it to Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Then I will meet with True Person Mingwen first.¡±


    After hearing about it, Chen Mobai asked Yuan Chiye to invite her.


    Soon after, this disciple of Elder Muqin arrived at the grand hall of Northern Abyss City.


    True Person Mingwen was a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, her face radiant but with faint crow¡¯s feet at the corners of her eyes. Yuan Chiye had also inquired about her background during these days.


    In addition to being the direct disciple of Elder Muqin, she was also the junior sister of Reverend Kuzhu.


    But she was no longer young. It was said she was already over three hundred years old.


    ¡°Greetings to Sect Master Chen.¡±


    Upon entering, True Person Mingwen, seeing the distinguished Chen Mobai, was also very polite and first performed a courtesy.


    ¡°I have long heard of the great name of Kong Sang Valley, never expecting to be able to meet an esteemed cultivator from your sect. It is truly an honor!¡±


    Chen Mobai was equally courteous and invited True Person Mingwen to take a seat.


    Their Five Elements Sect, although they have unified the Eastern Wilderness in the Tianhe Realm, still do not have a publicly acknowledged Nascent Soul Cultivator, so they cannot compare with Kong Sang Valley.


    After all, they have two Nascent Soul Cultivators!


    ¡°The main purpose of our visit is that our master is aging and wishes to find a picturesque and tranquil place to spend the last years of his life in retreat. I wonder, Chen Mobai, if you could lend a Fourth Grade Spiritual Land for my master and us to reside and cultivate in.¡±


    After exchanging pleasantries, True Person Mingwen did not beat around the bush and directly stated the reason for Elder Muqin¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°The Eastern Wilderness is barren. I¡¯m afraid we do not have a Fourth Grade Spirit Veil that would satisfy your sect!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately refused without a second thought.


    Joking aside, it wasn¡¯t easy for him to have driven out the other major sects from the Eastern Wilderness, securing some Fourth Grade Spiritual Lands in the process. For Kong Sang Valley to expect to borrow a piece just like that was sheer fantasy!


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, rest assured, once we have served our master until his Passing Away in Meditation, that Spiritual Land will be returned to you. Moreover, we are willing to pay a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones every year as rental fees.¡±


    ¡°True Person Mingwen, I beg your understanding, but the Fourth Grade Spirit Veins under our sect¡¯s jurisdiction each have their indispensable major responsibilities, and none can be easily lent out!¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard in his youth of some tales within the Immortal Gates about things that were borrowed and never returned, not to mention lending them to Nascent Soul Cultivators. His Five Elements Sect certainly didn¡¯t have the power to make such presences relocate!


    What¡¯s more, he was about to thoroughly cleanse the Eastern Wilderness, turning it into a territory solely his own; how could he possibly let such a powerful external force enter?


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, there is actually another proposal that could satisfy both of us. I wonder if you would be willing?¡±

    However, at this moment, True Person Mingwen smiled and spoke a sentence that made Chen Mobai slightly frown: ¡°Please speak!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein in Back to Sky Valley is quite good, and it does not belong to your Five Elements Sect. Why don¡¯t I borrow that piece? Sect Master Chen, you could also take advantage of this opportunity to completely eradicate this last force in the Eastern Wilderness that isn¡¯t under the control of your Five Elements Sect.¡±


    The words of True Person Mingwen were straightforward, and the thinking of a local person made Chen Mobai pause for a moment.

 Chapter 1482 - Chapter 1482: Chapter 772 Nascent Soul Confrontation

    Chapter 1482: Chapter 772 Nascent Soul Confrontation


    Yan Shaoyin is dead!?


    This was the first thought that surfaced in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind after hearing True Person Mingwen¡¯s words.


    Although Back to Sky Valley was weak in strength, it was backed by the Star Heaven Dao Sect. Even for Chen Mobai, who had been plotting for a long time, he intended to use a method of indirect acceleration to dispatch Yan Shaoyin and then try to get the internal factions of Back to Sky Valley to surrender to the Five Elements Sect, thereby giving the Star Heaven Dao Sect no excuse to intervene.


    However, now in the East Barbarians¡¯ Kong Sang Valley, they directly set their sights on Back to Sky Valley, a major sect from the Eastern Wilderness, intending to swallow it whole, certainly due to some information unknown to Chen Mobai.


    The most straightforward guess was that Yan Shaoyin had failed in Nascent Soul Formation and had passed away in the East Yu.


    At this point, Chen Mobai once again lamented that the intelligence operations of the Five Elements Sect in the Tianhe Realm were too outdated, or rather, beyond the Eastern Wilderness, there was virtually no intelligence at all.


    But regardless of whether Yan Shaoyin was dead or not, Chen Mobai had already viewed the entire Eastern Wilderness as his own prey, not allowing anyone else to share it.


    ¡°Back to Sky Valley and my Five Elements Sect are allies, both major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, and I will not allow your sect to act so aggressively.¡±


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment before once again uttering words of refusal.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, my master is waiting for the outcome of our negotiation today!¡±


    Upon hearing this, True Person Mingwen¡¯s eyes cooled down, her tone containing a threat.


    ¡°If Elder Muqin is dissatisfied, then let her come and find me!¡±


    However, Chen Mobai maintained a calm expression as he uttered a sentence that made True Person Mingwen frown.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, if I remember correctly, after Ancestor Hunyuan passed away, your sect has been without a second Nascent Soul Cultivator.¡±


    Thinking her hint wasn¡¯t clear enough, True Person Mingwen continued with more explicit threats.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why doesn¡¯t your sect just let Elder Muqin take action directly?¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with a smile, reversing the question.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen is truly worthy of being the top Killing God of the Eastern Wilderness, such courage!¡±


    After hearing this, True Person Mingwen¡¯s expression turned sullen as she left these words behind and directly turned to leave the hall.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Mo will arrive tonight, should we take the initiative first?¡±


    As True Person Mingwen left, Zhou Shengqing walked out from the rear hall, his eyes brimming with killing intent as he asked.


    ¡°Fighting and killing is only necessary when unavoidable. If it¡¯s possible to resolve things through negotiation, I¡¯m quite willing to try persuading Elder Muqin with words.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, speaking words that made Zhou Shengqing feel quite puzzled.


    ¡°Would a Nascent Soul be willing to negotiate with a Gold Core?¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, a difference of a whole realm is like heaven and earth. For instance, a Foundation Establishment family is merely a vassal in front of a major sect from the Eastern Wilderness, even being grateful for being able to be a vassal.


    Not to mention between Gold Core and Nascent Soul, a much larger realm.


    ¡°Sect Brother, you also know, Nascent Soul Cultivators facing our kind of Gold Core major sect, will definitely not condescend to negotiate. They generally speak with a commanding tone. But this time, Kong Sang Valley has been very polite, even waiting for our arrival before sending someone for negotiation. Don¡¯t you find it strange, Sect Brother?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zhou Shengqing reflect deeply, nodding his head, finding it very reasonable.


    ¡°This suggests that Kong Sang Valley needs us and wouldn¡¯t rashly turn against us!¡±


    Reflecting on this, Zhou Shengqing thought to himself that it¡¯s no wonder he could lead Five Elements Sect to unify the Eastern Wilderness. Encountering such a situation, he would certainly think only of fighting; he wouldn¡¯t delve deeper into such considerations.


    ¡°No, there¡¯s another possibility, which is that among the cultivators from Kong Sang Valley who arrived, there are no Nascent Soul-level strengths.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, voicing a thought that surprised Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Elder Muqin might have encountered problems, and coming to the Eastern Wilderness, is she seeking refuge or healing?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, based on his understanding of the locals here, a Nascent Soul Cultivator personally descending upon a Gold Core major sect would absolutely not bear such an attitude.


    Only if the Nascent Soul was no longer a Nascent Soul, or if it had lost the power of a Nascent Soul, would this situation occur!


    ¡°Then we should act more swiftly!¡±


    Zhou Shengqing also felt it very rational, looking towards Kong Sang Valley¡¯s residence in the Beiyuan City Cave Mansion, his murderous intent intensifying.


    ¡°Fellow Sect Brother, hold steady, after all, it¡¯s just a speculation. Let¡¯s wait and see how they respond first. Anyway, with you here, our Five Elements Sect doesn¡¯t need to fear.¡±


    Meanwhile, as Chen Mobai and his fellow brother were speaking, True Person Mingwen had already arrived in front of a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling.


    This was immediately purchased after the Kong Sang Valley cultivators arrived in Northern Abyss City on a Flying Boat.

    Originally, there were no vacant Rank-3 Cave Dwellings.


    But under the reputation of Kong Sang Valley, a Foundation Establishment family quickly made one available at its original price.


    Nascent Soul Cultivator Elder Muqin resided here.


    After pausing at the door for a moment, True Person Mingwen heard a transmission inviting her inside.


    Within the Cave Dwelling, an old cultivator with a face as wrinkled

 Chapter 1483 - Chapter 1483: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_2

    Chapter 1483: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_2


    True Person Mingwen recited her conversation with Chen Mobai word for word without any omissions. After finishing, Elder Muqin closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.


    ¡°Such a capable person! For Divine Wood Sect to rise from a mere branch of the Five Elements Sect, and within one jiazi, successively wipe out major factions like Mountain Shaker Peak, and reconsolidate the Five Elements Meridians to unify the Eastern Wilderness, this person¡¯s abilities are indeed key.¡±


    After savoring the dialogue between Chen Mobai and True Person Mingwen, Elder Muqin knew that her own circumstances might have already been noticed by Sect Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Then Master, what should we do next?¡±


    True Person Mingwen looked worriedly at the elderly Elder Muqin and asked. She knew that although her master was still a Nascent Soul Cultivator, each time she took action, she was stepping closer to death!


    ¡°In my name, arrange a meeting with this Sect Master Chen. As for the time and place, let him decide.¡±


    Elder Muqin spoke in a calm tone.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s all my fault for being useless, failing to even persuade a small Golden Core sect in the Eastern Wilderness!¡±


    Upon hearing these words, True Person Mingwen knew that her master, with the dignity of a Nascent Soul, was about to bully the lesser, which made her feel deeply ashamed.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    However, Elder Muqin did not respond to her words, but instead closed her eyes and waved her hand, signaling her to leave.


    After leaving the Rank-3 Cave Dwelling, True Person Mingwen looked toward the direction of the great hall of Northern Abyss City, her brows slightly furrowed.


    She had just made bold threats in front of Chen Mobai; wouldn¡¯t it be slapping her own face if she went to invite him now?


    She decided to ask someone else.


    However, another Golden Core Cultivator in her team, Yi Chenghan, also shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, refusing to go.


    After all, to the Five Elements Sect, they were strong forces crossing the river, and if there was any misunderstanding, they might just be the first to be punished.


    ¡°Junior sister, you should seek out someone more capable!¡±


    Hearing Yi Chenghan¡¯s words, True Person Mingwen could only frown and walk out, then called her three Foundation Establishment Disciples over.


    ¡°Lingli, you go.¡±


    In the end, True Person Mingwen chose her third disciple, Xiao Lingri. The latter immediately nodded respectfully, then took the letter from her master and headed toward the great hall of Northern Abyss City.


    Chen Mobai was informed by Yuan Chiye that a disciple from Kong Sang Valley had brought a letter.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect¡­ Master Chen!¡±


    As Xiao Lingri entered, she immediately bowed, and her voice hesitated upon seeing that familiar, distinctively handsome face. However, she quickly gathered her composure and presented the letter.


    ¡°I remember seeing you before, in the Ruins, right?¡±


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level, he had a photographic memory. Although several decades had passed, the once young and beautiful Female Cultivator had become a mature and lovely woman, but her eyebrows and facial features were almost unchanged, and he recognized her instantly.


    ¡°Yes, back then I didn¡¯t have the chance to thank Sect Master Chen. If it weren¡¯t for your help, I would have certainly died at the hands of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.¡±


    Back when Chen Mobai had just completed his Core Formation and returned to the Tianhe Realm, before encountering Tai Sui, he had saved Xiao Lingri, who was being chased by Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, as a matter of convenience.


    But without giving her any chance for conversation, he who was preoccupied with sect affairs, promptly left.


    ¡°Please deliver this letter to Elder Muqin.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up a pen and paper, setting the time and place for the meeting¨Ctonight, Sky Meal Building!


    After Xiao Lingri returned, she quickly came back again.


    It was still a letter.


    Upon opening it, Chen Mobai saw that there was only one word inside: Good!


    Evening arrived soon enough.


    A streak of Sword Light flashed by, and Mo Douguang had already stepped out of the Teleportation Array in Northern Abyss City. His sharp aura made it so that no Cultivator dared to approach.


    ¡°Brother Mo, congratulations on your great achievement in cultivation!¡±


    Chen Mobai flew over to greet Mo Douguang personally. When the latter saw him, a faint smile appeared on his face.


    The two then headed to Sky Meal Building together.


    Meanwhile, Zhou Shengqing had long been sitting in the adjacent private room waiting for the meeting.


    Shen Shanqing, knowing that they were entertaining Nascent Soul Cultivators tonight, went to great lengths to prepare a table full of his best spiritual cuisine.


    Once the appointed time arrived, Chen Mobai felt an indescribable mighty pressure emanating from the room.


    Shortly after, Shen Shanqing led three people up.


    The one in the lead should be Elder Muqin; she wore a hat made from Pure Bamboo, with wisps of spiritual essence streaming down, covering her face.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the hat and couldn¡¯t help but twitch his eyelids.


    Because he recognized it was crafted from Fourth Grade Superior Pure Bamboo, forcibly turned into a Fourth-grade Magical Weapon due to the material¡¯s properties.


    As Elder Muqin took a seat with her two Golden Core Disciples Mingwen and Yi Chenghan, Chen Mobai observed the bamboo hat more carefully. He found that this Fourth-grade Magical Weapon did not seem to have an Artifact Spirit, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I¡¯ve long admired your renown!¡±


    Elder Muqin was the first to speak up. Her voice was like the sunshine in winter, and clear as a pristine lake, exuding warmth and depth.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°To be able to meet a Nascent Soul Superior, I consider myself fortunate in this and the next two lifetimes!¡±


    Chen Mobai responded modestly, then personally opened a small bottle of Fourth Grade Fairy Peach Wine.


    ¡°This must be True Person Mo of your Five Elements Sect¡¯s Metal Vein, with his sharp aura and keen Sword Light, it seems he is not far from Nascent Soul Formation!¡±


    Elder Muqin turned to look at Mo Douguang, who was sitting beside Chen Mobai, and immediately discerned his realm.


    ¡°Not at all, Brother Mo has just recently achieved Perfect Core Formation and still needs some time to consolidate further.¡±

 Chapter 1484 - Chapter 1484: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_3

    Chapter 1484: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_3


    Chen Mobai knew that Mo Douguang was not good at speaking or socializing, and immediately took over the conversation. Upon hearing his words, both Ming Wen and Yi Chenghan were inevitably shocked.


    You must know that after three hundred years of cultivation, they were only at the later and middle stages of the Gold Core, respectively.


    Unexpectedly, the Eastern Wasteland Five Elements Sect could actually produce a Cultivator with Perfect Core Formation!


    It seems that Sect Master Chen does not plan to submit easily today!


    Looking at each other, both of them thought of this possibility.


    However, their gaze then fell upon Elder Muqin in front of them, and confidence refilled their hearts.


    Even a Perfect Core Formation stands no chance before a Nascent Soul, powerless to retaliate!


    With this in mind, they calmed down and faced Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang across from them, their eyes once again impassive.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I am getting on in years and need a Fourth Grade Spirit Vein for retirement. Could you perhaps lend me one?¡±


    Elder Muqin was straightforward, directly stating her request.


    ¡°I have already refused True Person Mingwen, didn¡¯t she tell you?¡±


    Chen Mobai still refused.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, you can refuse her, but you cannot refuse me!¡±


    Elder Muqin¡¯s tone began to grow heavier, and as she spoke, the formidable pressure emanating from a Nascent Soul Cultivator caused Sky Meal Building to tremble violently all of a sudden.


    Chen Mobai even felt the air around him being sucked away, as if he were being suffocated by an overwhelming weight.


    With a hum!


    Gold light blazed in Mo Douguang¡¯s eyes, and his Perfect Core Formation Sword Qi exploded suddenly. His entire being resembled an ascending sharp sword, actually breaking through Elder Muqin¡¯s oppressive aura!


    ¡°Truly a Sword Cultivator!¡±


    Elder Muqin noted appreciatively in a calm tone, and then picked up her cup from the table and flicked it gently. The crystal clear liquor splashed out, forming a transparent ring that descended over Mo Douguang¡¯s head.


    The gold light in Mo Douguang¡¯s eyes intensified, his whole body like a Sword, bursting forth a thunderous clear chime!


    The transparent ring formed by the liquid was actually held back, but Elder Muqin softly blew a breath, and a wisp of clear air falling from the tip of her bamboo hat was expelled by her, fusing into the transparent ring.


    At that moment, Mo Douguang¡¯s Sword finally could not hold on any longer, and as his body that had risen was slowly pressed back into his seat, he was about to be completely bound.


    With a clang!


    A segment of a Purple Sword blade pierced through the void, and accompanying Chen Mobai¡¯s mental command, stabbed into the transparent ring infused with clear air.


    The Purple Electric Sword released a dazzling brilliance, and with a deafening thunder, the transparent ring formed by the liquid was completely split in two.


    ¡°Is this the holy Sword of Longevity Sect wielded by Chen Mobai? Not bad!¡±


    Elder Muqin commented leisurely upon seeing this scene.


    Then, she blew out two more breaths of clear air, which upon flying out, merged into the split liquid, forming two transparent rings that descended upon Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang¡¯s heads, as if each carried the weight of ten thousand catties, descending with an irresistible momentum.


    Chen Mobai again used the Purple Electric Sword to resist, but found the Sword Artifact conveying a sense of overburdening strain.


    Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul?


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel. Luckily, Five Elements Sect also possessed this; otherwise, they might have faced humiliation today!


    ¡°As the saying goes, a distant visitor should be treated with courtesy, hence I have been hospitable. Elder Muqin, do not blame us for outnumbering you if you bully us with your power!¡±


    As the voice of Zhou Shengqing rose, two flawless, translucent Light Needles flew out from the next room, piercing into the liquid rings in the blink of an eye.


    Then, a terrifying tremor that was felt by half of Northern Abyss City emanated from the top floor of Sky Meal Building, spreading outwards.


    Yuan Chiye, who had received the command earlier, immediately led the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Five Elements Sect to activate the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.


    Although this Formation was only Rank-3, it was enough to stabilize an Immortal City.


    However, since Elder Muqin did not exert her full power, Zhou Shengqing also only deployed equal force to dissipate her Technique.


    Therefore, after the Heavenly Wood God Needles eradicated the clear liquor¡¯s energy, they too dissipated into nothingness.


    Shen Shanqing, who had nearly thought that Sky Meal Building was about to collapse, put down the ladle in the back kitchen and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, his heart racing.


    ¡°These are the exchanges of Great Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Level. The Five Elements Sect indeed has such profound depth¡­¡±


    Shen Shanqing vaguely knew of some matters, especially since the Bing Yun Hermit had come storming but was ultimately stopped by the Five Elements Sect at the ruins outside the Eastern Wilderness, signifying that Nascent Soul level strength had intervened.


    Though the subsequent rumors claimed that Sect Master Chen had absorbed the power of the Five Elements Dao Soldiers to elevate his All Laws Persona to the Nascent Soul Level.


    Nevertheless, Shen Shanqing felt that things might not be so simple!


    And this time in his Sky Meal Building, he could be certain that within Northern Abyss City, the Five Elements Sect did not gather the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, yet they still stood up to Elder Muqin head-on.


    This meant that the Five Elements Sect possessed a Nascent Soul force they could utilize routinely!


    Even¡­ a real Nascent Soul Cultivator!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Thinking of this, Shen Shanqing felt even more convinced that his decision to keep close ties with the Five Elements Sect on usual days was very correct.


    Perhaps in the future, he might be able to leverage the Five Elements Sect to return to East Land.


    At the top floor of Sky Meal Building.


    Elder Muqin fell into silence.


    Her two disciples, Ming Wen and Yi Chenghan behind her, looked towards the next room in complete astonishment.

 Chapter 1485 - Chapter 1485: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_4

    Chapter 1485: Chapter 772: Nascent Soul Clash_4


    The walls have already been pierced by two tiny holes from the Heavenly Wood God Needle, but they dare not probe with Divine Sense or sight to see which Nascent Soul Cultivator it is!


    But one thing is for sure, that Nascent Soul Cultivator must certainly be from the Five Elements Sect!


    Thinking of this, Elder Muqin felt that bringing the Sect Disciples to the Eastern Wilderness for an escape route was somewhat reckless!


    ¡°May I ask how the Fellow Daoist is addressed?¡±


    Although it was just a simple exchange, Elder Muqin was certain that the one in the private room next door was a genuine Nascent Soul Cultivator.


    If that was the case, using force to intimidate was now out of the question.


    After all, her lifespan could no longer support her going all out in a Magic Duel with a cultivator of the same realm.


    So she could only try to make peace.


    ¡°I am Zhou Shengqing from the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect!¡±


    From the neighboring private room, this name was announced.


    ¡°Unexpected indeed, you actually succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation!¡±


    Since Elder Muqin brought her disciples to the Eastern Wilderness in search of an escape, she must have investigated the information regarding the Five Elements Sect, the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Back when Zhou Shengqing was undergoing Nascent Soul Formation, news of his fierce killing spree, naturally along with the defeat of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, spread throughout the entire East Barbarians.


    But as decades passed without Zhou Shengqing showing himself, virtually everyone believed that he, following a failure in Nascent Soul Formation, had mustered his last Essence, Qi, and Spirit to slay his enemies.


    He should have already Passed Away in Meditation by now!


    Even Elder Muqin thought so.


    But she never imagined that Zhou Shengqing had actually succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation!


    However, this was also due to her incomplete information.


    Because the Kong Sang Valley was blockaded at their doorstep by the Sun Bathing Sea and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, all the information they had was collected before the war. If Elder Muqin could have known that the Bing Yun Hermit returned from the Eastern Wilderness without success, perhaps she might have guessed this point.


    But now she had already come to Northern Abyss City, and moreover, had offended the Five Elements Sect.


    So settling this matter has become somewhat difficult!


    ¡°Junior Brother, I¡¯ll kill this woman, you kill that man, Brother Zhou you hold off the Nascent Soul, just give us a moment!¡±


    At this time, Mo Douguang, already holding the Longevity Sword with an icy expression, had stood up and spoke his first words of the day.


    His gaze had already locked onto True Person Mingwen, who was at the late stage of Core Formation.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared somewhat hesitant, but had already reached out to grasp the Purple Electric Sword, and at the same time, nearly Perfect Core Formation Spiritual Power surged with his rising, flowing towards Yi Chenghan opposite of him.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, this is all a misunderstanding!¡±


    The mid Foundation Establishment stage Yi Chenghan felt the gap between himself and Chen Mobai¡¯s realms and, seeing the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, immediately stood up, waving his hands while signaling True Person Mingwen with his eyes.


    He wanted her to persuade Elder Muqin.


    ¡°Daoist Brother Zhou, I was wrong in this matter, I apologize to you right here!¡±


    Finally, Elder Muqin spoke, removing her bamboo hat as she did so.


    An aged face revealed, eliciting a mix of surprise and realization from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°My life may not have much time left, but if I give it my all, carrying off this Immortal City is not a problem.¡±


    As Elder Muqin spoke, she compressed the pure energy on the bamboo hat into a coherent stream, then released it letting it seep into the floor and dissipate into the earth.


    And in that instant, Chen Mobai¡¯s face involuntarily changed.


    He walked over to the window on the top floor, the Void Spirit Eye in operation, and saw the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation that originally covered the entirety of Northern Abyss City had suddenly halted its operation!


    ¡°The reputation of Elder Muqin as the number one Array Master in the East Barbarians precedes him. Truly formidable indeed!¡±


    At this moment, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s voice came from the next compartment, reminding Chen Mobai that if he truly intended to slay Elder Muqin here, what she had said could very well come to pass!


    Nascent Soul Cultivators are indeed difficult to kill!


    Chen Mobai sighed inwardly; after all, his intent this evening was merely to flex his muscles, not to completely fall out with Kong Sang Valley.


    ¡°Brother Mo, everyone has their faults; we should still give our honored guest a chance to atone.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mo Douguang frowned slightly but still sheathed his Longevity Sword and sat down again.


    Only then did True Person Mingwen dare to breathe!


    Just now, she was locked in by Mo Douguang¡¯s piercing gaze as if thousands of swords were pointed at her body, forcing her to frantically circulate her Spiritual Power and remain fully focused, not even daring to breathe.


    [The power of the Five Elements Sect is actually so terrifying!]


    It was only now that True Person Mingwen realized how naive and ridiculous her threats against Chen Mobai during the day were.


    Indeed, becoming a domineering Sect is no simple matter.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation managed to remain hidden for decades.


    This must have been a trump card for Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, yet unexpectedly, they at Kong Sang Valley stumbled upon it!


    At this point, Elder Muqin had already roughly figured it out and took out a translucent section of Pure Bamboo from her Storage Bag, handing it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is a fourth-grade Superior Quality Pure Bamboo. If Sect Master Chen refines it, your Divine Sense can be elevated to the level of Perfect Core Formation.¡±


    The sincerity of Elder Muqin¡¯s apology was full-hearted!


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes also brightened.


    It just so happened that the progress of his Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram was somewhat slow; with this, he might be able to break through directly to the third layer, the ¡°Drink has ceremony¡± realm.


    However, it was quite rare for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to be bleeding out, so although Chen Mobai was very interested, he remained silent.


    ¡°I will lead my disciples to leave the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Elder Muqin made another promise.


    ¡°Where does the Elder plan to settle down then?¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai also realized that Elder Muqin must have brought these people in search of a retreat, to leave behind the inheritance of Kong Sang Valley.


    ¡°How about Yun Meng Ze? I¡¯ve heard that place is plagued with demonic beasts; my withered body, if encountering the emergence of the Poisonous Dragon, could hold off a bit. My disciples can also help to shoulder some of the burden of the demonic beast calamity for you!¡±


    When Elder Muqin said this, Chen Mobai knew that she had definitely conducted a comprehensive investigation before coming to the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Yun Meng Ze has always been governed jointly by our Five Elements Sect and Dongwu. After clearing out the Poisonous Dragon in the future, the abundant aquatic resources there are also ours,¡± Chen Mobai thought.


    But after some thought, Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t agree.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I will lead my Sect Disciples to the Ruins.¡±


    Elder Muqin heaved a sigh and stated her final plan.


    If she were to open a new arena in the Ruins, it was okay while she was there, but once she left, just relying on two Core Formation disciples might not be enough to stand firm!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If it¡¯s within the Ruins, my Northern Abyss City is willing to open up resources for your Sect!¡±


    Actually, Chen Mobai wanted to refuse again, since the Ruins were another territory he coveted for future development, especially the areas surrounding it.


    But if he refused again, Elder Muqin might truly turn hostile!


    The face of a Nascent Soul Cultivator should still be taken into account, after all.


    And what¡¯s more important is that in the Ruins, his Five Elements Sect indeed does not have sovereignty.

 Chapter 1486 - Chapter 1486: Chapter 773

    Chapter 1486: Chapter 773


    After resolving the primary disagreements, the atmosphere between the two parties began to ease.


    Chen Mobai even poured another cup of Fairy Peach Wine for Elder Muqin.


    During their conversation, Chen Mobai learned that Elder Muqin resided in a Rank-3 cave dwelling endowed with Spiritual Energy. He immediately stated that a Nascent Soul Cultivator should not suffer such modest accommodations and promptly arranged a Rank-4 cave dwelling for her on the peak of North Abyss Mountain.


    The Rank-4 cave dwellings on North Abyss Mountain were not for sale to outsiders.


    These were reserved for high-ranking members of the Five Elements Sect such as Chen Mobai when they visited, and since upgrading to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein was no easy feat, there were only ten of them.


    When Golden Core Cultivators from the Five Elements Sect visited Northern Abyss City, Yuan Chiye would arrange a Rank-4 cave dwelling for them.


    Among these, the cave dwellings of Chen Mobai, Fu Zongjue, Zhou Shengqing, and Mo Douguang were fixed and considered their private property.


    Elder Muqin initially hesitated slightly but eventually accepted the offer.


    After all, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, relying solely on Spirit Stones for daily cultivation without the support of a Rank-4 Spirit Vein would be too costly.


    Moreover, accepting the cave dwelling was also a way to resolve any grievances.


    After a few more words, Elder Muqin took her leave.


    Chen Mobai personally escorted her and her two disciples to the entrance of the Sky Meal Building.


    ¡°Elder, please keep the news of Brother Zhou¡¯s Nascent Soul Formation confidential. This is a trump card prepared by our sect against Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. Originally, if you from Kong Sang Valley hadn¡¯t confronted Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, by now, the Golden Wind Ancestor would likely have perished in our Eastern Wilderness,¡± Chen Mobai informed them.


    When Elder Muqin and the others were about to leave, Chen Mobai activated a soundproof barrier and then spoke.


    ¡°I understand!¡±


    Upon hearing his words, Elder Muqin looked up at the roof and nodded gently.


    Meanwhile, Ming Wen and Yi Chenghan felt somewhat regretful.


    If only they had known earlier, they would definitely have tried to prevent Elder Ku Zhu from pursuing his solitary revenge.


    But now it was too late for regrets.


    They hoped that in the future the Five Elements Sect would help them deal with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace!


    After watching them leave, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with Shen Shanqing, who had come out after hearing the news, then returned to the private room on the rooftop.


    ¡°Junior Brother, Elder Muqin wouldn¡¯t have come to the Eastern Wilderness without reason, and specifically targeted Back to Sky Valley¡¯s properties. Do you think she might have heard some news about Yan Shaoyin?¡± Zhou Shengqing came from the adjacent room and voiced his concerns once they were alone.


    Being a Legal Body Nascent Soul, he would definitely be identified by Elder Muqin if they confronted each other directly.


    Thus, he stayed in the next room throughout, only employing the Heavenly Wood God Needle to demonstrate that he indeed possessed the Realm and strength of a Nascent Soul.


    However, considering Elder Muqin¡¯s state, Zhou Shengqing actually felt he might have the chance to overpower her.


    ¡°It should be about time now, it¡¯s just a pity that our sect doesn¡¯t have any informants on the East Yu side.¡±


    Chen Mobai had just discussed this with Shen Shanqing; sadly, he only had some influence in the Eastern Wilderness and two nearby regions. East Yu¡¯s division was far too distant, and even if they received messages from there, they were usually things that everyone already knew, lacking timeliness.


    ¡°Should we make a move first, to prevent another Nascent Soul Major Faction from coming to snatch the fruits of our labor?¡± Zhou Shengqing was somewhat uncertain at this moment.


    According to local customs, it was time for their Five Elements Sect to lead the troops to the door, especially since they were the dominants of the Eastern Wilderness and Yan Shaoyin had died.


    But Back to Sky Valley was a special case, as they had connections to the Star Heaven Dao Sect in the background.


    ¡°We better not take the lead yet; I¡¯ll send someone to deliver this news to Back to Sky Valley, letting Yan Shaoyin¡¯s disciples and grandchildren verify it,¡± suggested Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing this, both Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang brightened up and immediately agreed.


    The life and death of Yan Shaoyin were in fact of greatest concern not to the Five Elements Sect but to Back to Sky Valley.


    Without Yan Shaoyin, Back to Sky Valley would decline to a Foundation Establishment Sect.


    Facing the subtle pressure of the Five Elements Sect, internal turmoil would certainly commence first within Back to Sky Valley.


    Chen Mobai had long planted loyal insiders within Back to Sky Valley, just waiting for the right moment to switch allegiances.


    Having agreed on this course of action, the three of them discussed some cultivation issues.


    After Mo Douguang reached the Perfection of Core Formation, he could prepare for Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, Baby-forming Spiritual Things were nearly non-existent in the Eastern Wilderness, so he planned to look for his Nascent Soul Formation opportunity after resolving the matters here, while also taking the chance to further hone his Sword Dao.

    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry; the year before last, I invited the pupil of a distinguished person I met in the Ruins to visit our sect. Her mastery in Alchemy even surpasses that of Yan Shaoyin.¡±


    ¡°The Elixir Scripture I inherited contains an Alchemy Recipe that aids in Nascent Soul Formation. If we can gather another furnace of materials, she can successfully concoct it.¡±


    ¡°However, Brother Mo, if you really want to travel, you can wait for the next return of the Five Elements Commerce Association and set off together with Nephew Yue and others. With you protecting them, next time they can bring even more valuable goods to East Land,¡± Chen Mobai remarked after hearing about Qing Nu, to Mo Douguang¡¯s great surprise.


    His thoughts mirrored Zhou Shengqing¡¯s: Qing Nu¡¯s Master was at the very least a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and possibly even a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch)!


    ¡°We must ensure that the disciples at Heavenly Peng Mountain serve her well!¡± Zhou Shengqing was even more delighted to hear that Qing Nu could concoct Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.

    Chapter 1487: Chapter 773_2


    ¡°Brother, rest assured, I have arranged everything.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled and nodded. Mo Douguang then shared some deeper insights into the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound that he gained during the process of achieving Perfection in Core Formation.


    Although he had mastered this Sword Dao Realm before, it had been limited to mere utilization.


    Now, however, he had developed a substantial fundamental understanding of this realm.


    After listening, Chen Mobai gained immeasurably!


    After all, his Sword Dao Realm had been wavering at the doorstep of the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound for a long time.


    The next day!


    Chen Mobai had Yuan Chiye tidy up a Fourth-Grade Cave Abode and then sent someone to Kong Sang Valley to notify them of this matter.


    Before long, Elder Muqin arrived with two Golden Core disciples!


    ¡°I appreciate Sect Master Chen¡¯s efforts!¡±


    Although North Abyss Mountain was just a fourth-grade lower-class Spirit Vein, for Nascent Soul Cultivators who had previously lived in a third-grade Cave Dwelling, it was a significant upgrade in class.


    ¡°I heard that Elder Muqin is a renowned Array Master in the Eastern Region. I wonder if you could offer some advice on upgrading the Mountain Protection Array of Northern Abyss City.¡±


    As True Person Mingwen and others were helping to reorganize this Fourth-Grade Cave Abode, Chen Mobai sat outside with Elder Muqin, personally brewing a pot of Snow Needle Immortal Bud and seeking advice on the upgrade of the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.


    ¡°This matter is simple¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Elder Muqin directly condensed water from the void and, in the presence of Chen Mobai, drew the layout of Northern Abyss City¡¯s Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation, then with a movement of Divine Sense, changed the array nodes starting from the very core Spiritual Pivot and extending towards the surrounding Formation nodes.


    Before long, between Chen Mobai and Elder Muqin in the void, there appeared an array diagram made of tea water, vastly different from before, broader, and more intricate.


    ¡°Sect Master Chen, I might have spoken a bit fast. Did you understand?¡±


    After explaining, Elder Muqin slightly smiled and spoke up.


    Across from her, the golden lines within Chen Mobai¡¯s pupils slowly dissipated, and he too smiled and nodded.


    ¡°I think I¡¯ve got the gist of it.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect Sect Master Chen to have such outstanding acumen in the way of formations!¡±


    Elder Muqin was a bit surprised. Chen Mobai had asked for advice on formations, and since she had just received a Fourth-Grade Cave Abode, she didn¡¯t want to refuse. However, she did make it purposely difficult by explaining very quickly, thinking that apart from her direct disciples, probably only Rank-4 Array Masters could keep up and understand.


    But she quickly realized that Sect Master Chen in front of her was probably just pretending to understand to not lose face in her presence.


    Elder Muqin did not expose him and even complimented him.


    After all, in certain respects, she and this Sect Master Chen before her were not friends, and they had even narrowly avoided a life and death struggle just the previous day.


    She secretly hoped that the upgrade of Northern Abyss City¡¯s Large Formation would fail!


    With that thought in mind, Elder Muqin shifted the conversation away from the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai, who had recorded everything she had explained, began analyzing it internally, bit by bit.


    The words that Elder Muqin had described contained many of the Tianhe Realm¡¯s special terminology for Array Mastery, some of which were unique to Kong Sang Valley.


    Even if filmed into a video, if other cultivators or Array Masters were to repeatedly watch it daily, they might not be able to comprehend it.


    But Inner Observation was different!


    Chen Mobai had already memorized all the transmitted content of Formation Masters from the Five Elements Sect in his mind. These were common not just in East Continent but also in the Tianhe Realm. Even when he came across some unfamiliar terms, he could translate and understand them based on the context.


    Moreover, such an in-depth analysis and understanding also ruled out any possibility of Elder Muqin leaving any traps.


    By the time Chen Mobai left, his Inner Observation had completed 8% of the analysis of this new Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation diagram.


    In about two or three days, the analysis could be completed.


    The group of cultivators from Kong Sang Valley stayed in Northern Abyss City for half a month, purchasing enough Spirit Rice and Fasting Pills among other resources, before boarding a Flying Boat to leave again.


    Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing personally escorted them into the Ruins and only returned after seeing them off with peace of mind.


    However, with a Nascent Soul cultivator as a new neighbor, Zhou Shengqing was somewhat concerned and decided to stay in charge in Northern Abyss City for a while.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was pleased with this.


    Mo Douguang requested the Alchemy Recipe for the Infant-Feeding Elixir and decided to leave the Eastern Wilderness to help collect the primary and auxiliary ingredients that were unattainable there.


    If it were Golden Core Cultivators like Yin Qingmei leaving the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai would definitely be uneasy.


    But Mo Douguang was different!


    As a Sword Cultivator who had achieved Perfection in Core Formation, as long as he did not deliberately provoke Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was free to explore all six realms within the Eastern Region.


    ¡°Brother Mo, if you happen to come across these three herbs, help me collect them as well.¡±


    When saying farewell to Mo Douguang, Chen Mobai also informed him about the required main herbs for the Lingyuan Pill that Qing Nu had improved upon.


    During this time, he had also consumed the second batch of Return to True Elixirs.


    His progress towards Golden Core Eighth Layer had reached 42%!


    After that, even if he continued to consume more Return to True Elixirs, he could only increase his progress by 1%.

    That would be somewhat wasteful.


    The third batch of Return to True Elixir materials sent from Back to Sky Valley, once refined by Qing Nu, was something Chen Mobai planned to save for Fu Zongjue and others.


    Unifying the Five Elements Meridians completely needed both gradual progression and opportunities, which seemed most suitable!


    After Mo Douguang left, the head of the Formation Division, Yi Shaoqing, also arrived at Northern Abyss City.


    Apart from him, there were also two Rank-3 Array Masters for the Earth Vein and Water Vein.

 Chapter 1488 - Chapter 1488: Chapter 773_3

    Chapter 1488: Chapter 773_3


    Chen Mobai broke down the Rank-4 Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation, which he had fully analyzed using the technique of Inner Observation, into twenty lessons and taught them in detail.


    Cultivators from the Tianhe Realm who are able to achieve success in learning, are generally those with exceptionally outstanding self-study abilities.


    This is because the educational system here is very rudimentary, with the master leading the way and cultivation depending on the individual.


    Although Yi Shaoqing and his companions were only Rank-3 Array Masters, under Chen Mobai¡¯s meticulous and exhaustive teaching approach, they soon grasped the array diagram of this Rank-4 Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.


    At the very least, they had reached the level of Rank-4 in terms of this formation.


    However, to set up this formation, it still required a Golden Core Cultivator to take action.


    Chen Mobai himself certainly did not have the time to spare; he counted the Five Elements Sect¡¯s available personnel and excluded those who were difficult to direct, finding that only Luo Xue¡¯er and Yin Qingmei were available to come over.


    The Rank-4 Large Formation in Northern Abyss City was a critical part of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s millennium plans and had to be taken very seriously.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai directly summoned the two ladies over.


    After giving instructions on the matter, Chen Mobai then took them to meet Zhou Shengqing.


    Although Chen Mobai had asked Mu Qin to help keep it a secret, he estimated that the matter could not be concealed for much longer, so he might as well reveal it to the Sect¡¯s Golden Core members, which also gave them a sense of being trusted as confidants.


    ¡°If you encounter any issues that you cannot resolve in the future, report them to your senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Upon learning that Zhou Laozu had actually succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, both ladies were exceptionally excited amidst their shock, and their confidence in the Sect grew even more.


    At the same time, they were filled with an even greater longing!


    If Zhou Laozu could succeed in Nascent Soul Formation, was it possible for them as well¡­


    After arranging the matters in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai also took his leave and departed.


    He first returned to Giant Tree Ridge, then took Zeng Woyou and his disciple Yan Jinye to Mount Tianpeng.


    ¡°This is where my friend Qing Nu resides in seclusion; her Master is a Fifth-Order Alchemist whose mastery in Alchemy is no less inferior to that of Yan Shaoyin. I have specially requested her guidance for you¡­¡±


    As Chen Mobai led the two up the mountain, he introduced the background of Qing Nu.


    Upon hearing this, Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye couldn¡¯t help but treat her with great respect.


    In the Tianhe Realm, it is said that the capable ones serve as teachers, and for them, who had spent their lives refining Rank-3 elixirs, a Fifth-Order Alchemist was almost equivalent to the legend of a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch).


    The trio arrived at the mountain peak, and Qing Nu, who had already received word from Chen Mobai, dispersed the clouds. Wearing a pale white cheongsam with a flowing green ribbon, she descended like a fairy.


    ¡°Greetings, senior!¡±


    Seeing the extraordinary Qing Nu, Zeng Woyou and his disciple immediately paid their respects.


    ¡°Rise. The Alchemy I am going to teach you might differ from what you have learned since childhood. If you can rebuild your knowledge system, it will be greatly beneficial to your future. However, if you cannot accept it, just being able to refine the Foundation Establishment Trithings is also fine.¡±


    Qing Nu, following Chen Mobai¡¯s instructions, pretended to be a reclusive expert.


    However, due to her appearance and aura, which were distinct from the locals, even without pretending, Zeng Woyou and his disciple couldn¡¯t help feeling that she must come from a high-ranking and powerful sect.


    Her Alchemy inheritances must indeed be the pinnacle of the Tianhe Realm!


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble Qing Nu to guide them. I¡¯ll head back first,¡± Chen Mobai said after leading the two to her, realizing his own holiday was almost exceeding its limit and not wanting to stay longer. He exchanged a knowing glance with Qing Nu and took his leave.


    After returning to the Immortal Gate.


    Chen Mobai immediately called Hua Zijing and asked her to help book a flight ticket back to Wangwu Cave Heaven.


    However, just as he was saying goodbye to his family before descending the mountain, he received a call from Pei Qingshuang.


    She had fully consolidated her realm and bloodline, and was planning to ask the Three Extremes Sage to open the Portal, to begin the creation of the Golden Core Domain.


    ¡°Great, great, great. Once you arrive at Wangwu Cave Heaven, I¡¯ll come to meet you,¡± Chen Mobai replied. He considered Pei Qingshuang a friend, and given that she had lent him the Qing Shuang Sword, he owed her a favor. Therefore, it was both reasonable and courteous to treat her well when she arrived.


    After ending the call, Chen Mobai immediately called Xue Yuzhu from the Portal Management Bureau. She was already aware of the situation, and after a recent internal meeting, the Portal¡¯s opening was scheduled for half a month later, with the location remaining at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.


    Having confirmed the news, Chen Mobai felt relieved and called out to Xiao Hei, who was watching TV with Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Daughter, pack up your things and ask for leave from your office.¡±


    Upon mentioning the imminent opening of the Portal, Xiao Hei immediately jumped up excitedly. True to being Chen Mobai¡¯s daughter, she had exceptional talent and had been using Void Stones to sense and grasp the Power of Void in recent years.


    She was therefore very confident about creating her own Golden Core Domain.


    She had long wanted this personal space to carry with her, allowing her to store all her belongings inside.


    ¡°Alright, Dad!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As she went to pack her belongings, Chen Mobai stepped out onto the balcony and called Yan Bingxuan to inform her about the situation.


    ¡°Hmm!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan responded, however, there was a hint of worry in her tone.


    Although she had sensed the Power of Void under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance over the years and even had successful experiences freezing it, she still felt some trepidation when actually facing the challenge.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will definitely succeed,¡± Chen Mobai encouraged her with a laugh, detecting the worry in her voice.
